En este episodio de CQ en Frecuencia, dedicamos la primera parte a responder algunas de las consultas que nos han hecho llegar nuestros oyentes. Exploraremos temas tan diversos como: Cómo construir un repetidor casero con dos walkie-talkies, una solución ingeniosa y económica para ampliar cobertura, especialmente útil en emergencias. Dónde encontrar referencias de activaciones de diplomas como SOTA, POTA o WWFF y cómo registrar QSOs para que sean válidos. Si es seguro llevar un walkie al aeropuerto y cómo hacerlo sin problemas, respetando siempre la normativa. El uso de licencias extranjeras en España, en este caso, cómo puede operar un radioaficionado con licencia chilena desde Barcelona. En la segunda parte, cambiamos de rumbo y nos adentramos en el fascinante Diploma de Castilla Navegable de la mano de Luciano, EA1FE, quien nos contará cómo ha logrado poner en el aire más de 30 esclusas y cómo este proyecto está conectando historia, geografía y radioafición. Un viaje fluvial que muchos estamos siguiendo y disfrutando QSO a QSO. Y para cerrar el episodio, os dejo con una pequeña sorpresa sonora: un par de audios muy especiales que resumen la magia de nuestra afición y que, sin duda, son el broche perfecto para este programa. ¿Nos apoyas para que podamos seguir haciendo este podcast?

GB2RS News Sunday the 17th of November The news headlines: The RSGB has launched a new practical events section on its website The RSGB Awards Manager has added categories to the IARU Region 1 Award There is still time to host the Youngsters on the Air Month call sign The RSGB is keen to promote practical events for radio amateurs as a way of developing their skills and retaining their interest in amateur radio. The Society has also demonstrated that buildathons are a great way of engaging new audiences, giving people a taste of amateur radio in a fun and supportive environment. As part of its strategy, the RSGB held two workshops at the 2024 Convention to introduce individuals to radio-related usage of Micro Controller Units, or MCUs as they are often known. The Society also holds annual build-a-radio events at Bletchley Park for youngsters, with the kits provided by the Radio Communications Foundation. To support radio amateurs to try practical skills themselves or to put on their events, the RSGB has published a new section on its website that is dedicated to practical events. You'll find a guide to running a buildathon, detailed information from the MCU workshop as well as a short video to inspire you! Feedback from the RSGB's events has been wholly positive with requests for similar activities around the country. Could your club host an event and perhaps even boost its numbers at the same time? Find out more at rsgb.org/practical-events The RSGB Awards Manager has announced that, with the support of the Board, he has added new categories of achievement to the IARU Region 1 Award. These include WARC bands only, 10MHz only, 18MHz only and 24MHz only. The standard IARU Region 1 Award check spreadsheet should continue to be used for these categories. However, award chasers are advised to keep separate versions for each band or set of bands. There are no mode or power restrictions and there is no distinction between fixed and portable stations; you just have to be operating within the same country for all QSOs used in the application. There aren't any limitations on the start dates for the awards other than the dates for particular countries as identified in the check sheet. This reflects, for example, when a country became a member of the IARU. The RSGB would like to thank the award chasers who contributed to the discussions about adding new categories. With just two weeks to go until Youngsters on the Air Month, operating slots for GB24YOTA are fast filling up. The special call sign will be active throughout December and is a fantastic opportunity to get youngsters active on the amateur bands. Whether you are part of a school, university, youth group, club or individual, the RSGB would love you to be involved. The Society would be delighted to see the callsign hosted every day during December and see as many youngsters on the air as possible. Be part of this goal by visiting QRZ.com and searching GB24YOTA to check availability. Operating slots aren't fixed and can be adjusted to suit your timings, so don't delay. Email Jamie, M0SDV via yota.month@rsgb.org.uk now. Visit rsgb.org/yota-month to find out more. The RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. There will also be reduced hours on New Year's Eve when the centre will be closing at 2 pm. Following the seasonal closures, the NRC will also be closed for essential maintenance works on the 2nd of January 2025. Outside of these times, volunteers look forward to welcoming visitors as usual. Remember that RSGB Members can download a free entry voucher for Bletchley Park from the RSGB website via rsgb.org/bpvoucher.

Using FT4 on the 80m to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is a signal report. On Tuesday, the 19th of November, the RSGB 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest runs from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes on the 23cm band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Thursday, the 21st of November, the RSGB 70MHz UK Activity Contest runs from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes on the 4m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. The CQ World Wide DX CW Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday the 23rd of November and ends at 2359UTC on Sunday the 24th of November. Using CW on the 160 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and CQ Zone. The UK is in Zone 14. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 14th of November. The solar flux index took a downturn this week, ending up at 150. The visible solar disk is looking rather bare compared with a couple of weeks ago. This is the lowest SFI value since the 2nd of May 2024, but it is only a matter of time before we see another sunspot appear as we make our way through solar maximum. The good news is that we have been pretty devoid of solar flares and coronal mass ejections, with only a few M-class flares occurring. Any CMEs were not Earth-directed and so the Kp index stayed low. As a result, the bands are still playing ball. A quick look on 10 metres at 10.00UTC on Thursday the 14th showed the 4X6TU (Israel), OH2B (Finland) and LU4AA (Argentina) International Beacon Project beacons were romping in on 28.200MHz. Going down to 15 metres it was even better, with ZL6B (New Zealand), VK6RBP (Australia) and JA2IGY (Japan) all audible on 21.150MHz. Also, the proton flux from the Sun remains low, which bodes well for polar paths. Next week the Space Weather Prediction Centre forecasts that the solar flux index will rise again, no doubt as new or returning sunspots appear, perhaps putting us into the low 200s. From a geomagnetic perspective, unsettled conditions are forecast for Wednesday, the 20th of November when the Kp index could rise to four. Looking further ahead, fingers crossed for the 23rd and 24th weekend when the CQ Worldwide CW contest takes place! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO. It was more of the same on 50MHz last week, with what may be a mix of Es and F2-layer propagation producing morning openings in the afternoon to the Gulf States, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. On the higher bands, with the high pressure just hanging on in its colder guise, next week looks distinctly on the wintry side for some areas. The high pressure has, along with its predecessor, given us at least two weeks of Tropo conditions on the VHF bands. The expected change-over to low pressure takes place on Sunday and drives a colder northerly weather pattern down across the UK, even to southern areas. This means that the majority of next week is a good time to look for rain scatter. Regarding meteor scatter, the peak of the Leonids occurs today, the 17th of November, with rates of 15-20 per hour. Also, occasional peaks of the Kp index above four should tempt us to beam north for chance aurora openings. As usual, check the VHF beacons and clusters for signs of activity during the afternoon and evenings when the auroral oval is displaced southwards nearer to our part of the world. It's a good week for EME operators, the Moon reaches peak declination on Monday morning, but path losses are rising as we have passed perigee on Thursday the 14th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate, reaching 500 Kelvin on Sunday night. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
In this episode, we talk to Nada Abdelhafez, the Head of Spectrum & Regulatory Affairs for Middle East and Africa at Shure, about the future of Programme Making & Special Events (PMSE) spectrum. We discuss what was decided at WRC-23 for PMSE spectrum, future bands that could be available for audio, production and events and the coexistence and possibilities between PMSE and DECT. CEPT draft revision of ERC Recommendation 25-10 on frequency use of PMSE applications PMSE usage increases as WRC-23 prepares to review UHF in Region 1 DECT NR+ seeks access to 3.8—4.2 GHz in Europe

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Wednesday the 27th of March 2024 What a tumultuous time we had last week. Active region 3614 produced an X1.1 solar flare and coronal mass ejection, or CME, in the early hours of the 23rd of March. This impacted Earth's geomagnetic field sending the Kp index to 8 on the 24th of March. There were simultaneous flares from active region 3614 and the larger region AR3615. The solar wind speed reached more than 850 kilometres per second at the height of the geomagnetic storm, peaking at 880 kilometres per second. The CME started to impact the Earth early in the afternoon of the 24th and, according to Digisonde data, its full effects on the ionosphere started to be felt by 1540UTC. The large AR3615 sunspot cluster continues to evolve as it moves into the Sun's southwest quadrant. Moderate flaring will remain likely in the short term with a lower chance for another strong X-class flare, although it is around the side of the Sun and is not considered a threat today, Sunday the 31st. All this was not good news for HF propagation, which saw maximum useable frequencies over a 3,000km path plummet on the 24th to less than 18MHz. The ionosphere didn't fully recover until two days later, with the MUF struggling to get above 18MHz on the 25th. It wasn't until the afternoon of Wednesday the 27th that we saw the 10m band behaving normally again with the Kp index back in the range of 1 to 3. So, this is what can happen if we have an X-class flare and associated CME. We can expect more of the same to come. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will remain high at around 175 to 190. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast from the 3rd to the 5th of April when the Kp Index could rise to 4. But keep an eye on solarham.net for a near real-time guide to current solar conditions. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The period leading up to the Easter Weekend, and the following week shows up on the forecast charts as dominated by low pressure, feeding several periods of rain and showers across the country. This unfortunately means that Tropo is again off the menu of weather-related VHF propagation. Of course, wet weather is usually very supportive of rain scatter propagation on the GHz bands and this prolonged period of rain or showers will give the UHF and SHF operators something to occupy their time. Meteor scatter prospects are once again just random, which tends to be better in the hours just before dawn. We can start to look forward to the April Lyrids, which are active in the second half of April with a peak around the 22nd. It's worth checking out the operating conventions and frequencies now so that you can be ready. Strong aurora has been reported recently, with a Kp index of 8, and a quick listen for fluttery signals on the 80m or 40m bands is often a good clue if you don't have access to the Kp index at the time. The main mode of interest for the coming months is Sporadic-E and some early propagation is possible, mainly on digital modes on the 10m or 6m bands, but probably very fleeting. During the summer Sporadic-E season, it's well worth checking the propquest.co.uk graphs to see what is occurring and get an idea of how it may relate to jet stream weather patterns by cross-checking with the Sporadic-E blog upper air charts. The Sporadic-E Probability Index, or EPI, maps are also potentially useful to see how the favourable regions change with time. In the current pre-season period, it's more typical to find trans-equatorial propagation, or TEP, as an exotic mode offering paths to the south into South Africa and possibly into South America. For EME operators, Moon declination reaches minimum on Easter Monday, so we'll see short Moon windows with low elevation. Path losses are falling all week and 144MHz sky noise is moderate, rising to a peak of more than 3,000 Kelvin on Easter Monday before returning to low levels. And that's all from the propagation team this week.
Episode 29/3 of A is for Architecture is a conversation with Professor Neelkanth Chhaya, architect and scholar, and former Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, CEPT, Ahmadabad, Gujarat. We discuss India, notions of modernism (and postmodernism) in postcolonial contexts, indigeneity and identity, and the meaning of the/ a ‘vernacular' in a globalising culture, as well as time, language, poetry, food and parampara… We also talk about Balkrishna Doshi, and you can hear/ watch Chhaya speak about him and his work as part of a fascinating panel discussion – "Suppose We Don't Talk About Architecture" - An Homage to Doshi – produced by the Bengal Institute in 2023, and also featuring former podcast guest, Juhani Pallasmaa. Chhaya was named the inaugural recipient of the ‘Balkrishna Doshi: Guru Ratna Award 2023', for his contribution to education, innovation, and mentorship. I broke bread with Chhaya one night in Ahmedabad. He was amazing then, and he remains so now. Have a listen, find out for yourself, on all good podcast platforms. Thanks for listening. + Music credits: Bruno Gillick
GB2RS News Sunday the 25th of June 2023 The news headlines: Ofcom consultation on updating the amateur radio licensing framework RSGB Tonight@8 webinar ‘Fly Your Satellite!' programme An Ofcom consultation titled “Updating the amateur radio licensing framework” opened on Friday the 23rd of June 2023. According to Ofcom, the proposals set out in the consultation aim to “provide greater operating freedom for radio amateurs; and make the process of getting and using a licence simpler, clearer and more responsive.” The closing date for responses is the 4th of September 2023. All radio amateurs are strongly encouraged to read the consultation via Ofcom's website directly. You can also find the consultation by visiting rsgb.org/licencereview and clicking the Ofcom logo. The RSGB will provide guidance on how to respond to the consultation via the same web page in due course. The next RSGB live Tonight@8 webinar will take place at 8pm on Monday the 3rd of July, with Eric P. Nichols, KL7AJ presenting “Receiving antennas are different”. Eric, who has written numerous amateur radio and electronics articles over the past 30 years, says that almost every ham radio station can benefit from a separate receiving antenna. Effective receiving antennas are optimised for best signal-to-noise ratio, not necessarily the greatest gain. Tune in to the RSGB YouTube channel or special BATC channel to hear Eric discuss the countless interesting means of building high signal-to-noise ratio receiving antennas. You can find out more at rsgb.org/webinars The ‘Fly Your Satellite!' programme, initiated by the European Space Agency, presents an exciting challenge for radio amateurs and space enthusiasts worldwide to establish communication via the LEDSAT CubeSat digipeater. This unique opportunity invites participants to connect with the ESA Education Office ESTEC Ground Station in the Netherlands through the satellite digipeater, with a chance to win a special prize – a custom QSL card issued by the ESA Education Office and the LEDSAT team. Running from the 26th of June to the 30th of July, this challenge offers an exciting chance for radio enthusiasts to engage with space technology and demonstrate their communication skills. For more information go to the European Space Agency website at esa.int and search for “Connect and communicate with a satellite via the LEDSAT Digipeater Challenge.” It was with profound shock and sadness that the RSGB learnt of the untimely loss, at the age of 49, of Mr Alexandre ‘Sasha' Kholod, Chairman of the CEPT WRC-23 Conference Preparatory Group. Alex was head of international frequency planning for the Swiss regulator and was widely respected and influential in CEPT and ITU.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 22nd of June 2023 We had yet another week of high solar flux, plenty of sunspots, but also a major solar flare. The Solar Flux Index reached 180 on the 20th of June with a massive spread of sunspots across both solar hemispheres. But an X-class solar flare erupted on the same day. This was only just X-class though, as at X1.1 it barely hit the requirements. Luckily, its associated coronal mass ejection was directed away from Earth. We passed the summer solstice this week so are now heading towards Autumn. Don't worry too much, though, as there is plenty of summer left, complete with its lower daytime maximum usable frequencies and high levels of D-layer absorption. Fortunately, multi-hop Sporadic-E is also bringing occasional DX on the higher bands. As we pointed out last week, nighttime MUFs remain high, partly due to seasonal norms and partly due to the high solar flux. There were reports this week of 15m CW still being open at 3.30 am local time, when Paul, MM0ZBH worked the VP6A DXpedition on Ducie Island. There have also been many reports of VP6A being worked on the 80m band at around 0800 UTC. Next week the Space Weather Prediction Centre puts the Solar Flux Index at around 165 to 180 again. We can expect unsettled geomagnetic conditions once again around the 27th and 28th of this month. Daytime F-layer MUFs over a 3,000km path are generally around 21MHz, but there are occasional surprises. Sporadic-E still dominates on the 10m band. At night, MUFs over 3,000km are often around 14 to 18MHz, again with some surprises at times. And now the VHF and up propagation news After a slow change to a more summer-like pattern of showers and sunshine with occasional fronts in the last week, it does seem like it's a continuation for the coming week. This means further opportunity for rain scatter on the GHz bands and with a reasonable chance of tracking the storms with any of the online weather radars. There will be a tendency for higher pressure close to southern Britain with possible Tropo, which will extend south across Biscay to northern Spain or farther south towards the Canaries and perhaps beyond. It may even offer paths east across the southern North Sea towards Denmark. There have been some reasonable Sporadic-E paths within Europe and beyond to the Americas. Paths have also opened eastwards to the Far East or Middle East and there is no reason not to expect similar for the coming week. As next week progresses, the jet stream distribution may favour paths to Scandinavia and the Baltic, plus across the Atlantic to the States. The recent unsettled solar conditions may affect the prospects for Sporadic-E propagation if the Kp index becomes too high, but on the plus side it could then be worth checking for aurora. Don't forget that random meteors can provide a few chance QSOs using meteor scatter propagation and there have been audible meteor ‘pings' on some Sporadic-E QSOs recently, so they do exist! Moon declination goes negative again on Monday – so shortening Moon windows. Path losses will fall all week, and 144MHz sky noise is low to moderate until next weekend when it reaches more than 2500 Kelvin on Sunday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Series: People of the X Text: Luke 2:8-12; Mark 2:13-17 Speaker: Bryce Hotchkiss, Lead Minister
En la entrevista del programa La Miel en tu radio conversamos con el Tec. Apic. Julián Dualde – INTA Cuenca del Salado e INTA PROAPI 5-11 sobre el dictado del módulo 4 de Recambio de reinas y oportunidad de multiplicación en la localidad de Rauch en el CEPT nº5 de Miranda.
Intro Background Gambit, Remy Etienne LeBeau, created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in Uncanny X-Men #266 (Aug 1990) You know how we've done a lot of characters whose circumstances have come back around to "it's not his fault, but it is his problem"? Gambit's definitely a twist on that. Let's run down the list. Kidnapped as an infant and raised by a society of thieves who brought him up with a moral compass that was most certainly not in line with the rest of the world, wound up homeless, captured by an immortal mutant and sold into slavery, got roped into an arranged marriage with Belladonna to end a centuries-old blood feud between the Thieves' Guild and the Assassin's Guild and wound up killing the brother of his bride-to-be in a duel on his wedding day, was exiled from his home in New Orleans, found out he had a mutant power that grew so powerful it wouldn't let him touch anything without blowing it up, had no choice but to go to Mr. Sinister to give him brain surgery to save his life, gets a simple innocuous job to do in return, assemble some mercenaries to locate the Morlock community, has no idea the mercenaries have orders to kill all the Morlocks Encounters a powerless Storm, who brings him to meet the X-men - Logan didn't trust him, so the two had a duel, which Gambit won Served as a X-Man for some time, until he was captured by Magneto and Sabretooth, and Rogue's kiss revealed the memory of the Morlock Massacre - the fallout led to him being kicked off the team Later rejoined the team after Rogue went searching for him After a battle with Destiny, he and Rogue were depowered, so they moved to California to explore their relationship Both regained the powers and joined the X-men, but when Gambit was temporarily blinded, he began lashing out at Rogue, who left him Mystique joined the team undercover as another shapeshifter, and revealed herself to Gambit as a version of Rogue that he could actually touch - although Rogue was angry, Gambit never pursued it He submitted himself to Apocalypse in an effort to infiltrate the team, but the transformation brainwashed him, and he became the Fourth Horseman, Death - after Apocalypse's defeat, he is returned to normal with the help of Mr. Sinister Yada yada yada, he & Rogue get married after Kitty backs out of her wedding to Colossus, and Gambit proposes on the spot - they spend their honeymoon protecting the bio-engineered daughter of Charles Xavier & Lilandra, and then get teleported to the Mojoverse, where they have to fight their way out for the amusement of Mojo & his viewers Issues That is a lot of really bad luck for one person. But Gambit tortures and blames himself for way more of it than he should. He didn't want to fight Belladonna's brother, but was bound to by the traditions of the clans. He didn't want to leave Belladonna and New Orleans, but had to or there would be all-out war. He didn't want to get in bed with Mr. Sinister's, but he was the only person he knew that could save his life. He certainly didn't want to play any part in a genocide and tried everything he could to stop it when he was happening, but at the time, he genuinely believed the job was just to locate them. With regards to everything he did in his past, most of it is not his fault, and way less of it is his problem than the amount he tends to torture himself with. On a scale of zero to Cyclops, his moral culpability for the things he's done with his life doesn't even come close to the level of guilt he feels for it. Second issue, deflection and evasiveness. Oh my goodness, Remy Labeau raises keeping people at arm's length with deflection and evasiveness to an absolute art form. And when you're a monument to male fanservice streetwise slick-talking bad boy with a mutant power that lets you kinetically excite the heart rate and neurotransmitters of other people and charm the metaphorical and often literal pants off of them, that is really not a hard thing to do. Remy is one of those people you can have a hours-long conversation with, tell all sorts of personal details, and walk away not even realizing he didn't tell you a single thing about himself. His teammates (Wolverine and Bishop in particular) are the wisest to the act and treat him with the most suspicion. But really, all of the X-Men know it to some extent. He's closer to some of them than others, everyone likes him, no one really seems to have a problem with having him on the team, but apart from Rogue, obviously, no one really implicitly trusts him, especially after the truth about his connection to Mr. Sinister and the Marauders comes out. Third issue is related to the second one, Remy's own massive trust issues with other people. It's completely, 100% understandable given everything Remy went through in his childhood and teenage years that he'd be extremely wary about making himself vulnerable around anyone. It's a lot. The man didn't have the loving supportive upbringing most of us have. He's understandably a jaded cynical man who expects the worst from people until they show him otherwise. But the only person he's ever really, genuinely let into his life is Rogue, and it was a long, very rocky, and very painful road getting there. Gambit guards his heart tighter than Fort Knox, and seems very comfortable with the fact. (24:42) Break (32:51) Plugs for Bedknobs & Broomflicks, Geek Peak, and Jeremy Whitley Treatment (Theme: Truth in Deception) In-universe - I have to play games Out of universe - Not really a stretch to find real-world equivalents to this man, I imagine most people who go to treatment can be intensely guarded and wary about sharing details about themselves. I imagine a lot of patients have things in their past they're not proud of and that they torture themselves with. I also imagine it can be like a chess match where one person is playing for a stalemate and trying to frustrate the other person into surrender when you're trying to get through to them. (37:22) Skit (49:02) Hello Gambit, I'm Dr. Issues. - Bonjour, doc. So, what can I help you with? -Nothing. *pause* haaaa, just joshin', I figured you'd like that one. *playing straight* Sometimes. -I was told you were cool. Not exactly the life of the party, sorry. -*pause* Something's off…*whispers* you wearing a wire or something? I can short it real quick *sigh* No…no, I'll admit, you're right, but not for any nefarious reason. I was told things, too. - *wary* Nah, she told me she told you nothin'. Not anything bad…this is tough. I'm being vague because lately I've been too loose in my descriptions of others, and in your case, I was told to keep quiet, but then I can't discuss a relationship if I don't talk about the other person, but THEY probably don't want me telling everything, but I know that you know so…it's complicated. -Cher? She knows better. If you tryin, I'm buyin. That's why I'm here. She clearly only told you what you needed to know. Sorry for snappin like dat. I'm trying to say that I've been told you value your privacy. I should have just done my usual introduction about confidentiality, but noooo, I had to play it off like I'm some sort of mastermind interrogator. I get like this when I don't think someone will open up to me. -You got me in the door, that's more than most. You ain't comin round my parts anytime soon. I just got things on my mind. Go ahead. -How do you get things out of your head without surgery? *pause* Say again? -I don't like talking about all of the…evil business, if you know what I mean. I just gotta get rid of it. So if Mister can't get it done *quick angry tone* an he aint tryin again yahear! *back to calm* then I figured I should go to someone…of the mind, but not REALLY of the mind like Charles, c'est tou? *misunderstands* I'm not sure I say anything…in fact, I tend to listen. -Nah I mean it's simple. I need you to help me so I don't let stuff I want to forget bother me so much. Or make me forget it. Either way, I'll be happy. If it were that simple, would you have gone through all of the effort to deal with it in the first place? -Touche Anyway, your natural tendency seems to push things down, suppress them so much that it accomplishes the opposite effect; you don't have the memory itself in your daily conscience, but the amount of energy necessary to keep it that way with even the tiniest reminder has to go somewhere. It builds up until -*finishes the sentence* Boom.. I know. Just like my powers. It's funny how the physical and the mental come together like that. Synergy. Psychosomatic -PsychoKinetic *simultaneuously* PSYCHOSOMATOKINECTIC SYNERGY *both laugh* *trails off with laughter, then pause* Man, I think we just added to the mental health lexicon. -Glad I could help. What else can I do for you? Well work has been…wait, YOU want the help, not me. Why are you trying to make it sound like you're giving me therapy? -I'm just trying to loosen you up. You're so uptight, man. It's good to see you laugh. You should do it more. You realize that for you to make progress you're not going to be able to rest on a good moment with a stranger as the ultimate win. -*pause* Worth a shot. Alright, it's obvious you came to that conclusion about your powers and your psyche a long time ago, and I gave it validation. You're trying to play me like a puppet and just get along with you so I can rubber stamp your style. Don't get me wrong…your style has flair, charm, and wit. But there has to be more. -Man, and I thought you had no gator in you, tryin' a bite my head off. Look atcha! A real backbone. I'm serious! *exasperated* are you always this…way? Just charming and conning your way through life? -It's only a con if I don't believe it. So…you're happy anyway. Then what's the point of forgetting something that you're now acting like it doesn't bother you but then you said it's what really does…I can't play games like this… -You need a better poker face. *pause* You know, I actually enjoy poker. The logic, probability, psychology, uncertainty…only way the story gets told is if at least two people are willing to see the hand through to the end. -That's deep, really philosophical. You have a sharp mind on ya, doc. And so do you. That's why I know you'll let me lose a few hands to you. -*surprised* You…what, you? Me? Play? *belly laugh* COME ON, you know you don't want the smoke! You gonna lose your office, you ain't careful. I figure it's fake chips? Yes. -All right, low stakes, I'm in. I hope you keep up with Omaha Hi-Lo because *interrupting* Nope, you don't choose, I choose. Blind man's bluff. -So it's just face reading, one card, on the forehead each, huh? Well…let's see it. *sound of card shuffle* Just to let you know, 2 rounds of betting. Each turn, you have to give me one fact about yourself. -Cool, because I'll get to know you mo *interrupting* and I don't say anything. - *pause* that's not fair. For real, that's not FAIR! You can't rig a game and expect me to play. The real pot isn't the chips; if you win, you can end the session, and never come back. After all, you wouldn't want to hang out with a loser like me, right? -Bet. And if I lose? I give you feedback on what may actually help you, because I'll take your information as genuine. -So no matter what, if I play this the way that I want, I'll get what I want, even if I lie and it hurts? Laissez les bon temps roulez. Funny how that works out. -*sound of chips* All in, no second bet. *pause* Fact for the only round is, if I didn't trust her, you would see you put the equivalent of a bomb in my hands. *immediate* Call. And…I had a Queen -Jack. *annoyed grunt, pause* you would have called with anything, right? Even with a threat like that? What threat? It was the truth. And yes, I would have. -*snaps fingers* see, I KNEW it. You have too many tells. I guess we have a lot to learn from each other. Want to call the next game? - We really gonna make this a thing, huh? Only if you're willing to be a regular at the table -Better than a couch, you can bet on that *pause* Huh, I thought you'd say “I guarantee” or something -Doc, no Cajun says that. ‘Cept mebbe Justin Wilson, res' his soul.

Mohandas K Gandhi's decades-long campaign against British rule was the driving force behind Indian independence in August 1947. The way he did it - through ‘satyagraha', or non-violent resistance - made him one of the most famous and revered thinkers of the 20th century, and has inspired protest movements around the world. Rajan Datar explores the experiences, ideas and people that turned Gandhi from a timid schoolboy and failed lawyer into a man bold enough to take on the might of the British Empire. Plus, we ask whether he achieved the kind of Indian independence he really wanted, and find out why his legacy is the subject of intense debate in India to this day. Producer: Simon Tulett Contributors: Tridip Suhrud, a professor at CEPT university, in Ahmedabad, India, and a Gandhi scholar who has translated many of his works into English, including the first critical edition of Gandhi's autobiography, ‘My Experiments with Truth'; Karuna Mantena, a professor of political science at Columbia University in the US, currently working on a book about Gandhi's political thought; Anil Nauriya, a writer on freedom struggles in India and Africa and a lawyer based at the Supreme Court in New Delhi.

Using all modes, stations exchange their 4-character locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Friday the 1st of July 2022. Last week was not a good one for HF propagation in general. There were many complaints from amateurs about poor conditions that can be explained by a combination of low solar flux levels and unsettled geomagnetic conditions. The SFI started the week last Sunday at 102 but then dropped to 98 the following day. It subsequently continued to drop, reaching 92 by Thursday. At the same time, the Kp index reached five and it continued to be unsettled into Monday. The effects on the ionosphere were not good, with maximum usable frequencies over a 3,000km path struggling to reach 18MHz. Conditions improved as the week went on with F2-layer MUFs back into the 21MHz region by Thursday. This is fairly typical of Summer ionospheric conditions, leaving Sporadic-E as the likely main propagation mode on 10 metres until the Autumn. Next week NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will start to climb again, perhaps peaking at 140 by the 11th of July. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be stable with an average Kp index of two, until the 10th when it could reach four. As long as we don't have any coronal mass ejections during this time this could mean slightly better F2-layer conditions next week. As always, Sporadic-E may provide loud short-skip signals on the upper bands. Watch out for multi-hop Es paths which are harder to predict. And now the VHF and up propagation news. With VHF National Field Day, this weekend we would all like conditions at their best, and with the Sporadic-E season still in full swing, that's a possibility. The position of the jet stream is often instrumental in defining the directions that perform for Es and this weekend it looks to be a close-by jet stream over the near continent. This means paths towards central and southeast Europe plus the Baltic and Scandinavia. You might be able to get some notion of how it's developing by Googling and looking at the ionosonde from Dourbes in Belgium for spikes in the foEs trace. With low pressure close to Scotland over the weekend, it's only southern UK under a weak ridge that will see any Tropo. This will typically be better overnight and around the coasts for paths into the continent across the North Sea or the English Channel. So unless you are on the coast, your tropo options will diminish early this Sunday morning once the solar heating starts to break down the overnight temperature inversion. The UKAC 144MHz contest on Tuesday evening looks a better prospect with high pressure nudging towards western Britain and a chance that conditions may be slightly up, even for more northern stations. With some showery episodes likely, rain scatter is always a possibility, but decaying as the high moves in later. The clusters should tell you if aurora or random meteor scatter are viable options. Just one meteor shower this week, the July Pegasids active from the 4th of July to the 14th, but its Zenithal Hourly Rate is low at around five. Meteor showers in July are at their best around the end of the month, particularly the Southern delta-Aquariids, peaking on the 30th of July. The maximum ZHR of this shower is around 25 over two days. The radiant of this shower is above the horizon in the UK during the night and early morning. Moon declination goes negative this coming Wednesday so expect lower peak elevation and shortening Moon visibility windows for EME. Path losses are dropping as we head towards perigee a week on Wednesday. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a fleabag motel in the early 50s, can't you tell? MUSIC SOUND DRIPPING OF BAD SINK, DISTANT RADIO TALKING LENNY [hushed, excited] I tell you, Claude, it's a done deal! It was Artie told me, and-- CLAUDE [resigned] And Artie's never wrong. Yeah, I know. [up] Whatchoo think, Charlie? CHARLIE Zip it. I'm listening. CLAUDE To what? CHARLIE Whoever's next door has a radio, [barbed] unlike some, and they got the stories on. If youse two mugs can keep yer traps shut, I can just barely make out what happens to be transpiring. LENNY [quiet] It's just over the hill, Claude. Hop skip and a jump. CLAUDE [quiet] Good thing, too, Lenny. That car we nabbed ain't good for much but skipping. LENNY [quiet] And jumping. CLAUDE [chuckles halfhaertedly] So Artie said this town was ripe for the picking? LENNY Yeah, he said it was real weird, but-- CHARLIE [upset] No! What is wrong with this world? CLAUDE [flat, uninterested] I don't know, what's wrong with it? CHARLIE Them on the other side, they turned it off!! And just when Cynthia was about to reveal the name of the guy who ran off and left her with two kids, then changed hs name and married someone else. LENNY What a bum! CLAUDE [undertone] Don't encourage her. [up] Can we talk normal now? CHARLIE Makes no nevermind now. CLAUDE Apparently Artie told Lenny something in stir last week. LENNY And Artie's never wrong! CHARLIE [hard sarcasm] If he ain't never wrong, why's he in the joint? CLAUDE [snorts] LENNY That ain't the point. He found the perfect score. CHARLIE And he told you about it? CLAUDE Yeah, that does seem a little cuckoo. Artie never did like you much. LENNY But he still likes Cherlie there just fine. I think he told me cuz he knows I'd tell you, and that would help her get some of the nice things she deserves. CHARLIE [cutesy] Really? That big a score, then? Artie might have something going for him after all. Maybe I shoulda married him. CLAUDE You said you didn't like monkeys. CHARLIE I was joking. Just cuz he's kinda short and shriveled and stuff don't mean he might not make a good husband. Ugly guys don't run off so often. LENNY Nobody wants 'em. CHARLIE You would know. CLAUDE [long suffering sigh] Let's get back to the job? LENNY It's this town, see? He says the whole town is like loopy, cuz one day a year, for an hour in the middle of the day, the entire town [slow, with import] just falls asleep. CLAUDE [snort] You're loopy. Artie's throwing you a knuckle ball, knucklehead. LENNY No, he was serious - I could see it in his face. CLAUDE The whole town? LENNY Yeah! CLAUDE And how does Artie know this? LENNY He says he was there. Couple years back, said he was hiding out and saw it happen, so he went back again the next year to see, and it happened again. CLAUDE Why ain't he in there robbing the place? LENNY Says he meant to, this year, but he's gonna be sporting stripes for a nickle. [5 years] CLAUDE It makes no damn sense! Why would everybody fall asleep? CHARLIE Maybe it's something in the water. Or get this-- [ramping up] Maybe it's a curse or something, like in that episode of One Step Too Far!! CLAUDE You've gone one step too far if you're gonna believe Artie and this idiot. [to Lenny] Nuttin' personal, Lenny. LENNY Gotcha. CHARLIE What can it hurt? If it's so darn close, why don't we drive over there and see? We can be ready, and if this "see-ester" [siesta] thing happens, then we take advantage. If not... what's it gonna hurt? CLAUDE What day's it supposed to be, Len? LENNY Tomorrow. Or I should say the longest day of the year, since that's what it is - tomorrow is, I mean, but Charlie, you can't come! CHARLIE And why pray tell not, ya big goon? LENNY Artie only told me on account of I promised I'd see to it that you don't go. I think he wants you to come and visit him instead. CLAUDE That's crazy talk. But you shouldn't come, babe. You'll just get in the way. CHARLIE [incensed] I'll just WHAT? CLAUDE I mean-- there might be guns. I wouldn't want you getting shot or nothing. CHARLIE They gotta be pretty talented in this town to shoot ...in their sleep! Besides, you need someone along who can actually tell time, if all you got is just one hour! [fades out] And if this is supposed to be tomorrow, since I have it on good authority - meaning the morning news - that tomorrow is the longest day of the year - then we had better get our sweet little selves ready to move! LENNY [over her diatribe] But I promised Artie-- CLAUDE [over, too - miserable, to Lenny] Just drop it. Trust me. Once she starts with this, she can't even hear no more. CHARLIE You hear me? LENNY [really quiet] Maybe you shoulda let Artie have her. MUSIC AMB IN CAR CLAUDE Whadda we do if it's all a big put-up job? LENNY It ain't - Artie is-- CHARLIE Stifle! If they don't sack out, you mean? In that case, we're just honest, but weary travellers going on our merry way. Zat so hard to buy? CLAUDE We gotta do something. This flivver's on its last legs. CHARLIE There's always something. LENNY You believe in magic, Charlie? CHARLIE Like Houdini stuff? Hah! Back when I was on the stage, the only thing them clip artists could make disappear was my hard earned simoleans. LENNY But this-- CHARLIE [loud] BUT! Dontchoo interupt me there, Lenny. It ain't polite! [quieter] Hmph. I was tryin to say I could maybe believe in magic like miracles and genies and stuff. Just always figured maybe it was all run out in the world, like the electricity in the meter when you're outta slugs. Ya know? CLAUDE [amused hmph] Oh, that's a nice turn of phrase you got right there, Charlie. CHARLIE [smug] And you thought you only married me for my legs.

Don't wanna get caught on the street heeled. CHARLIE Whaddaya mean? So what if someone suspects something?

GB2RS News Sunday 6th June 2021 The news headlines: National Radio Centre re-opens Dartmoor Rally should run in July HF radio performance on Tonight@8 The RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park reopened last week in line with current Covid restrictions. The volunteers welcomed a fantastic 1,226 visitors over the Bank Holiday weekend and that number has continued to rise during the week. One young lad came with his father and they were both inspired to start studying for their Foundation licence. The RSGB would like to thank all the NRC volunteers who are making this experience possible for so many Bletchley Park visitors. The NRC is open daily, except Wednesdays, until further notice. Visitors to Bletchley Park need to pre-book and pay via their website so at present the Society is unable to offer its free entry voucher to RSGB Members whilst that system is in place. The Dartmoor Radio Rally is due to take place on the 4th of July. In view of the uncertainties of Covid-19 restrictions that may be introduced at short notice, the organisers ask that visitors please check the website at dartmoorradioclub.uk before travelling. The next Tonight @ 8 live webinar is on Monday the 7th of June. In a change to the advertised programme, Rob Sherwood, NC0B will talk about Transceiver Performance for the HF DX & Contest Operator.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4BAO on Friday the 4th of June. The Sun was pretty quiet over the last week, with few sunspots and a solar flux index in the mid-70s. From a peak of 82 on Sunday, the SFI declined to 75 on Thursday when there were just two small sunspot groups visible, regions 2827 and 2929. As predicted, geomagnetic conditions have been mostly settled, with a maximum Kp index of three. The solar wind has buffeted Earth at times thanks to a string of small coronal holes on the solar surface. As we head towards the summer solstice we are seeing the HF bands remain open later in the evening. This is due to changes in the chemical make-up of the ionosphere. The 20m band currently remains open to DX over a 3,000km path until nearly midnight. In fact, if we had a few more sunspots we could even see 14MHz open 24 hours a day at times. The main mode of interest remains Sporadic-E, with daily inter-Europe openings and occasional multi-hop openings to further afield. Make the most of these in June as conditions can decline as the season progresses. Next week NOAA predicts the solar flux index will be in the mid to high 70s again. It says that the Kp index should remain around two. We may expect disturbed geomagnetic conditions on Sunday and early next week due to a large coronal hole on the Sun's equator that became Earth-facing on Friday. And now the VHF and up propagation news. It feels like a classic ‘summer combo' this coming week, with periods where Tropo is the dominant mode as weak ridges of high pressure remain close by over the UK. Remember that the best conditions are often overnight and early morning since during the day the solar heating of the ground destroys any surface temperature inversion. In addition, you will also find that Tropo paths exist across the surrounding seas throughout the 24 hours, so /P from the clifftop or beach sounds ideal. Mixed in with this hesitant high-pressure theme are occasional periods of instability releasing heavy showers, possibly with thunder and lightning. This is good for some because summer thunderclouds produce excellent prospects for GHz bands rain scatter. Early June is prime time for Sporadic-E, and it's been simmering nicely for a while now, so perhaps more of the same. In theory, all bands up to 144MHz come into play. A point of observation regarding the jet stream patterns is that, perversely, they are not looking so favourable this coming week, which makes predicting paths very unwise. Check the daily blogs at Propquest.co.uk to see how things are developing. We start another lunar month with positive and increasing declination giving lengthening daytime visibility windows, but with apogee on Tuesday, EME path losses are at their highest. June the 7th sees the peak of the Arietids meteor shower. It actually lasts from May 22 to July 2, and with a ZHR of 30 it is one of the two most intense daylight meteor showers of the year. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Incipient, Concept and Conceive have the same root word that means 'Take'. In Season 1 Episode 10 Finale, we explore the different words coming from the root word Cip/Cept/Ceive. (Includes a Season 2 teaser)
Veģetāra ēdiena pagatavošanā bez dārzeņiem neiztikt, tāpat kā neiztikt bez graudiem un pākšaugiem. Veģetārās uztura skolas “Vegus” vadītāja Dita Lase raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot atgādina, ka nav labu vai sliktu dārzeņu vai augļu. Ir tikai labi vai slikti daudzumi un receptes. "Ja kartupeļus izpeldina eļļa, sasāla un tas ir pamata dārzenis, ko pazīstam ar retiem izņēmumiem vasarā, kad divas reizes paēdam tomātus, tad tā ir problēma, nevis veselīga ēšana. Tas ir veģetāri un nav veselīgi. Vairāk jārunā par apjomiem, vai pietiekami citus dārzeņus pamanām, kas vēl dārzā aug," norāda Dita Lase. Bioloģe, dabas pētniece un topošā uztura zinātniece Kristīne Štikāne atzīst, ka no uztura viedokļa svarīgi, jo daudzveidīgāks dārzeņu klāsts mazdārziņā, jo labāk. "Jo daudzveidīgāki būs pārtikas avoti no augu valsts, jo tā ir vienīgā, kas satur šķiedrvielas uzturā, jo labāk. Tā ir barības bāze. Ja dārzeņi ir pēc iespējas daudzveidīgāki un krāsaināki, jo lielāka iespēja, ka uzņemam pēc iespējas daudzveidīgākas šķiedrvielas un būsim vislabāk pabarojuši savu zarnu mikrobiomu," Kristīne Štikāne. Raidījuma viešņas arī atzīst, ka dārzeņu krāsai ir nozīme, jo dažādas krāsas ir dažāda veid antioksidanti un tiem ir dažāda uzturvērtība. Tas nav brīnumlīdzeklis, tomēr svarīgi. Dita Lase aicina dažādot ar “negaršīgajiem” dārzeņiem ēdienkarti, piemēram, rutkiem, Briseles kāpostiem un kāļiem, kurus ēd retāk, bet tie ir ļoti vērtīgi. Rutkus var arī cept cepeškrāsnī. Tad paliek kraukšķīgs un nav arī tik sīvs. Līdzīgi arī kāļus un selerijas var cept. Sagriež šķēlēs, var ietīt folijā veselu. Var klāt likt rozmarīnu, zaļus nenogatavinātus tomātus, vai saulē kaltētus tomātus. "Es esmu par garšu balansu. Ir sešas garšas - salda, skāba, rūgta, sāļa, asa, sūra. Ja šķīvī ir visas, tad baudām ēdienu. Ja kāda lien ārā kā īlens no maisa, tā ēdiens no garšīga pārvēršas briesmīgā," atzīst Dita Lase. Raidījuma viešņu padomi un ieteikumi: Cept var arī redīsus: sagriež mazos redīsus četrās daiviņas, pievieno kāpostus, burkānus, šitaki sēnes, sojas mērci. Brīnišķīgs ēdiens piecās minūtēs! Kristīne Štikāne atzīst, ka patīk princips – gatavo vienkārši. Vooka princips – sagriež dārzeņus, nedaudz apcep, lai vēl ir kraukšķīgs. Viegli, ātri apcept - tas ir veids, kā ēdienkartē iekļaut dārzeņus, kas citkārt liek saraukt degunu, piemēram, brokoļus. Kristīne Štikāne mudina arī biezzupas un smūtijos iekļaut dažādus zaļos lapu salātus. Ja samaļ zaļo kokteili un ir par stipru, var pielikt klāt skābu – rabarberi, jāņogas, citronu. Brokolim nekādā ziņā nevajag izmest kātus, bet nomizot šķiedraino mizu un tad baltums vidū ir vienkārši delikatese. Bet pašas brokoļu mizas un arī diļļu kātus nevajag mest ārā, bet izvārīt dārzeņu buljonu vai samalt blenderī un pievienot mērcēm. Dita Lase aicina ēst Briseles kāpostus. Viņa parasti taisa svaigus salātos ar diedzētiem griķiem un granātābolu sēkliņām. Var arī pievienot dažādas salātlapas. Vai sagriež četrās daļās, 1-2 min pasautē uz pannas un pārlej ar apelsīnu sulu. Kristīne Štikāne mudina no kalē kāpostiem gatavot čipšus: noplūc lapiņas, sagriež, apslaka ar eļļu minimāli, pārber ar garšvielām un 150 grādos apcep 20-25 min. cepeškrāsnī. Kabačus vajadzētu novākt mazus, nevis pāraudzētus un šķiedrainus. Tāpat kabačus nevajag pārcept. "Kaifu no kabacīša esat palaiduši garām, ja esat “nīlzīrgus” izaudzējuši," uzskata Dita Lase. Kristīne Štikāne mudina lielākos kabačus pildīt. Tradicionāli pilda ar gaļu un rīsiem, bet var arī ar sēnēm, nepulētiem graudiem, riekstiem, nedaudz sēnēm. Jebkuru dārzeni var sarīvēt, pielikt miltus, pienu vai ūdeni, olu vai linsēklas, ja nelieto olas, nedaudz garšvielu un cep pankūkas. Ar nedaudz kanēļa ķirbju pankūkas, piemēram, iegūst pilnīgi citu garšu. Interesanta recepte: ķirbju krēmzupa, kurai pieliek klāt mazliet sablenderētas žāvētās aprikozes vai konservētus persikus un apceptas gailenes. Tik garšīga zupa!

Topic: "Each child is a seed: nurturing for self-realisation" Lalit Bhati, an Architect Planner from Auroville. Coming from a conventional academic background, the encounter with Auroville initiated a transformative process of unlearning. His work as a planner helped him to develop insights about the dynamics of societal growth and the real-life challenges of collective organization. This experience also made him realize that planning, by definition and especially so in Auroville, embraces collectivization and necessitates a synthesis of diverse viewpoints. Inherently, planning is a field of intensive churning that requires a wide range of skill sets. After completing his B. Arch from GCA, Lucknow, Lalit pursued his Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning from CEPT, Ahmedabad and PG Diploma from IHS, Rotterdam. He is a Founder of PATH(Planning and Architecture Towards Holistic development). He has successfully executed several projects in and around Auroville and in Puducherry. PATH is also involved in educational activities and conducts several workshops in Alternate Building Technologies. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/future-school-leaders/message

Prof. Neelkanth Chhaya - Architect, academician, and thinker, Neelkanth Chhaya has researched and worked extensively in the domain of appropriate architecture for India. He has documented places of historic significance and authored numerous critical papers. He retired in 2013 as the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, at CEPT, Ahmedabad after a 24-year teaching sojourn at the School. Before we begin, a quick shout out to Ruturaj Parikh from Matter in Goa for introducing me to these brilliant minds from the world of architecture and education. I also wanna say hi to Ayaz Basrai whom i interviewed in episode number 104 and he recommended documenting Prof. Neelkanth. Questions * What according to you is standardization? Where all do you see it happening? Do you see it happening in Architecture? Do you see it happening in design at large? * It is said, standardization and process bring scale - How true it is in design? How important is scale for a developing country like us? Are we trapped in a cycle now? * Does standardization kills diversity, ingenuity? What according to you is the biggest tradeoff of bringing standardization in design as a discipline? * You have been an educator for more than 40 years. Education system is designed to meet demands of the market. Market demands profit. Profit can be achieved only through scale. Can one scale without standardization? * Do you envision further standardization 50 years from now? http://www.ceptarchives.org/Peoples/neelkanth-chhaya https://architexturez.net/doc/az-cf-123851 https://www.acedge.in/courses/in-conversation-b-v-doshi-and-neelkanth-chhaya https://www.architecturetalk.org/home/87chhaya https://thinkmatter.in/tag/neelkanth-chhaya/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaSl_rFYsUc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFE0nVG2gKs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_p-C4k7Ip0
