Dr. Megan Gross is a speech-language pathologist, an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the director of the Bilingual Language Development Lab. She explains why the “difference versus disorder” framework is a helpful start but may oversimplify a child's language experience, instead encouraging a move towards a “disorder within diversity” lens. Megan describes how a language disorder looks in Spanish and how shifts in language dominance over time can impact the presentation of a language disorder. She encourages us to not view bilinguals as a separate group, but as individuals on a huge spectrum of language experience. Megan also talks to us about her community-based partnerships.

Marieke Hoelscher (L: Marieke Hoelscher) is from Jindera, near Albury NSW, where she moved at the age of 6. She was born in Germany where her family has been farming since the 1500s. In 2007, they moved to Australia and her parents bought a small cropping farm, as well as keeping their farm overseas. During year 12, Marieke started becoming more interested in food security and Australia's rural industries and decided to have a gap year to work in northern Australia. She ended up getting a job at Uluru Camel Tours which started her passion for camels and utilising feral animals in Australia. If rangeland goats are becoming a valuable export commodity, Marieke wonders why can't we do the same with the millions of feral camels running around our desert? A work placement with Camel Milk NSW in late 2021 further cemented her interest in the emerging industries and the role they can be playing in Australian agriculture's job of feeding the world, while conserving our landscapes through sustainable Agriculture. During her time studying a Bachelor of Agriculture at Charles Sturt in Wagga, Marieke received an AgriFutures Horizons Scholarship in 2022 sponsored by the Agrifutures Emerging Industries Program which has been an amazing opportunity to undertake placement with native bees, industrial hemp and insect protein!

Because we are social creatures, we are ‘hardwired' for kindness and cooperation. It's our natural state. The sense of ‘belonging' is therefore essential to our mental and emotional health. But the social changes of the past 30-40 years have been pushing us in the opposite direction. We've become more socially fragmented, less cohesive, and more isolated. The consequences are obvious: epidemics of loneliness, anxiety and depression. In his presentation, Hugh will help us reconnect with the magic of kindness. He'll explain how building connections can start with small acts of kindness in your neighbourhood. We hope participants will be motivated to use these techniques in their own lives.

Andrew Baker ( T: @marcusoldham1) was born and raised on a mixed cropping farm in Zimbabwe until 1981, when his parents moved to Hay NSW. With no family farm to go back to, but a great passion for Agriculture and related business, Andrew turned his attention to following a path towards senior agribusiness employment. He went back to university and studied a Bachelor of Business at Charles Sturt, and soon after started a job in the Agribusiness banking. Over the following years, he also completed a Masters in Agribusiness through The University of Melbourne, this is where he started to develop a passion for education.

In current times, with all the challenges of a global pandemic and what that means for us as we navigate work, family, isolation, sickness and sanity (and in lockdown for some of us), the notion of kindness must be an anecdote for some of that which we struggle with. I am speaking today to Hugh Mackay, a highly regarded social psychologist and researcher, and the bestselling author of 22 books, including eight novels. His latest book, The Kindness Revolution, was published in 2021. He has had a 60-year career in social research and was also a weekly newspaper columnist for over 25 years. He is currently an honorary professor in the Research School of Psychology at ANU, and a patron of the Asylum Seekers Centre. Among other honorary appointments, he has been deputy chairman of the Australia Council for the Arts, the inaugural chairman of the ACT government's Community Inclusion Board and an honorary professor at Macquarie, Wollongong and Charles Sturt universities. Hugh is a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society and the Royal Society of NSW. In recognition of his pioneering work in social research, he has been awarded honorary doctorates by Charles Sturt, Macquarie, NSW, Western Sydney and Wollongong universities. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2015. We talk today about kindness! In this episode, you can hear from Hugh on: His new book The Kindness Revolution – how did that book come to be and what can we expect to learn when we read it? What makes someone kinder? Is it through experiencing it from others and in a non-transactional way or are some of us born kinder naturally? Food is a popular way to show kindness, with a recent study showing almost four in five (78 per cent) believing that sharing a meal with friends and family is a powerful way to display kindness. Meanwhile two thirds (62 per cent) of Aussies believe that helping our neighbours is something we should do more of. In your observations, do close-knit regional communities vs urban dwellers where we can share an apartment block and not ever know our neighbours? Are Australians known to be kinder than other countries perhaps? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us today on The Politics of Kindness?

We follow in the historic footsteps of Charles Sturt, one of the most important people associated with early South Australia. A man determined to settle the debate about an inland sea in the centre of Australia. When he finally reached the Stony Desert and the Simpson Desert he was convinced that there was no inland sea. Dust, heat, exhaustion, the exploration team headed by Sturt in the 1800's had it all, lets retrace those steps of these heroic men. Have something that you think we should feature, then please drop us an email at  phatcat@iinet.net.au   You can support us and become a patron here. Your hosts is Nicki SheaLike us on Facebook ​Follow us on Instagram Support us on PatreonListen on Apple PodcastsListen on Google Podcasts Listen on i Heart RadioListen on SpotifyThank you for supporting us and our guests.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421) Hosted on Acast.

GUEST: Dr. Heather Boetto, Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Human Services at Charles Sturt University. Introduction to this episode: Green or eco-social work is an exciting and still-evolving body of ideas and practice within the social work mainstream. Within Australia over the last ten years or so a lot of the development of Green or eco-social work theory, and on the ground practice, has emerged from within the social work training institutions. For instance, social work training courses at Charles Sturt, James Cook and Edith Cowan Universities, and some other training institutions, have incorporated eco-social work ideas, skills and methods in the educational content offered to their students. This episode of the Eco-Social Work in Australia series focusses on the work and ideas of one of the pioneers in that social work academic and training setting, Dr. Heather Boetto, from Charles Sturt University in New South Wales. Heather worked as a social work practitioner for over 10 years in various fields before embarking on a career in academia. She now teaches in social work, is passionate about supporting students through their studies, and is one of the leading thinkers on eco-social work practice in this country today.

Charleton Glenn (I: @charleton.glenn) grew up on a farm in the southern Riverina of NSW on a mixed cropping farm with Rice, sheep and mixed cereals. Having been in the rice industry her whole life, she wasn’t sure agriculture was the industry for her. But, before she new it she was at the University of Melbourne studying a Bachelor of Ag, before going on to study a Masters in Communications through Charles Sturt. Currently, Charleton is a Rice Extension Officer 3 days week and a Productivity and Industry Affairs Policy Manager at the Rice Growers’ Association 2 days a week. She is also a founding member of young farmers group, Young Country Networkers. They run events for farmers and ag professionals in Rural NSW. **JOIN US AT OUR END OF YEAR EVENT** Don't forget to send us an email if you know of a story that we should tell at hello@generationag.com.au *Become a Patreon Partner* - https://patreon.com/generationag Find us here: Instagram: @generation.ag Twitter: @generation_ag Website: www.generationag.com.au

“You might not have realised but there’s a war between the northern basin and southern basin. There’s already people talking about ‘Why should they get more water than we get water?’ If I look overseas, I do a lot of work in the Mekong and Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are impacted by what happens in China, the upstream country…the water wars are already starting. What is the one thing people need to live? Good quality water.” Professor Baumgartner reflects on the Menindee fish kills one year on, the impact of the 2019-2020 bushfires on our water systems, and where we’re headed as our unrelenting desire for water impacts those around us. Professor Lee Baumgartner is a Freshwater Fish Ecologist who designs, supervises and undertakes into various aspects of the biology and ecology of freshwater fish. His research has been in several broad areas, including fish passage and fish migration, dietary interactions among native fish species, the impact of human disturbance on aquatic ecosystems and, more recently, the effectiveness of native fish stocking. Professor Baumgartner’s work has also focused on developing innovative methods for assessment (such as the adaptation of sonar technology to for migration studies) and improving existing fish collection techniques. Much of his work is applied and has fed back into adaptive management strategies which have resulted in state and national policy development. Recently, he has been involved in research activities in the lower Mekong Basin; specifically understanding mechanisms to help fisheries recover from human disturbance and quantifying the value of fish in a food security context.

“Even though from an individual perspective COVID-19 might not be serious, from a population health perspective, there are a lot of people who have died from it now around the world and its ability to overwhelm health systems because so many people become infected so quickly is extremely serious….Within a month you might have 14-15 flu infections – or 50 000 coronavirus infections.” Dr Victoria Brookes explains the rapid transmission of COVID-19 and why its ability to spread so quickly makes it dangerous to populations – and what strategies we need to look at to prevent it. Dr Brookes is a Senior Lecturer in Population Health and Production at the School of Animal and Veterinary Science at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga. She is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and after spending several years in practice in the UK and Australia, she completed her PhD at The University of Sydney (preparedness for exotic disease incursions for the pig industry in Australia, funded by Australian Pork Limited). Other projects in which she is involved include investigation of rabies outbreaks in Punjab, India, and a global research collaboration to investigate the use of ensemble modelling for FMD outbreak prediction. As well as core epidemiologic methods, Dr Brookes has expertise in risk assessment and disease modelling. Dr Brookes has a particular interest in zoonoses and transboundary disease spread. She has on-the-ground emergency animal disease response experience from the 2001 outbreak of FMD in the UK and the 2007 outbreak of equine influenza in Australia. Her current role involves research into emerging infectious diseases and One Health, as well as teaching in the areas of population medicine and veterinary public health.

“Birds and bats are one of the dominant invertebrate groups on earth, they go everywhere and surround us in our lives, so it’s not that surprising that there’s enough overlap every now and then for diseases to spill over…The reality is, we need to isolate the risk and deal with that. We can become so obsessed with wet markets but the last global pandemic arose from the North American pig industry, which was swine flu.” Dr Andrew Peters discusses his career to date and how birds and bats can contribute to the spillover of virus and disease to humans. What are the social, physical and environmental factors contributing? What do we really need to worry about and why did COVID-19 spill over, while lots of other viruses don’t? Andrew worked as a veterinarian after graduating in 2004, based initially at a mixed practice on the north coast of NSW and then at a bird, reptile and wildlife focused practice in Sydney. In 2009 he left practice to focus on research, doing a PhD at Charles Sturt University. He spent four years catching wild migratory birds, living in remote parts of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea and doing phylogenetic analyses in the lab in order to examine the relationship between people, the diverse native pigeon species of Australasia and a particular group of single-celled parasites.

"Usually when you have humans arriving on these islands, they often bring with them unfortunately a suite of predators like rats, cats…and they wipe out lots of native species. And we know that introduced species, especially rodents, have been the major cause of losses of island biotas.” Dr Melanie Massaro shares what we need to do to save endangered species, especially with animal populations on islands. What makes island species particularly vulnerable to extinction and how can we reduce our impact on these populations? Melanie is an evolutionary and behavioural ecologist with an interest in a broad range of topics, including life-history evolution, contemporary adaptation, consequences of population bottlenecks, interactions between native and exotic species and conservation physiology (for more details, please refer to her research page). Melanie joined Charles Sturt University after completing two postdoctoral fellowships in New Zealand.

“As I was through all these beautiful beautiful places, I started noticing all the problems alpine areas are facing – climate change, invasive species. They have really delicate ecosystems and I just decided that was something I wanted to do something about, so I signed up for my degree in the hopes of going into protected area management.” Clay is a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management student at Charles Sturt and a New Colombo scholar who works for the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and has a passion for area protection of alpine environments. Listen to Clay share his experiences with work and study, and hear what he thinks our next generation needs to do to combat the threats to our natural environment. Episode recorded: 12 March 2020.

“Before I did this course I worked at the RSPCA in Canberra. A lot of the time I was the first person people would see when they brought in injured wildlife. So I became really interested in how to reduce human impact on wildlife.” Amy is a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management student at Charles Sturt with a passion for animals and the environment. Amy shares her experiences working at the RSPCA and studying at Charles Sturt in Port Macquarie ….and her love for bats!

Today I’m joined by a national treasure in Australia’s leading social researcher and bestselling author, Hugh Makay.In recognition of his pioneering work in social research, Hugh has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society, and awarded honorary doctorates by Charles Sturt, Macquarie, UNSW, Western Sydney, and Wollongong universities. He was also appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2015For decades, Hugh explored our national psyche by interviewing thousands of Australians about what made them tick. Now aged in his 80s, he is asking us to turn the lens on ourselves in his new book, The Inner Self.Through rich storytelling, and psychological theory, Hugh explores our 'top 20' hiding places. From Addiction to Ambition, busyness to social media, arrogance to victimhood - such places inhibit the desire for self-examination. Spending too long in our favourite “hiding places” only increases the risk that we will live an inauthentic half-life, robbing us of our full potential, forever wondering why we feel permanently unsatisfied.A great conversation for anyone wanting to delve deeper, and ask themselves perhaps the most searching question of all: Who am I?

It has collectors encouraging people to check their sheds and old farm dumps for possible 'buried treasure'. The hammer fell at $17,500 for the stoneware Doneley and Butler bottle. The little green lip at the top is what set it apart from bottles worth a fraction of that price."These bottles are extremely rare, there have only been two or three found in perfect condition," said auctioneer Graham Lancaster."That colour combination of glazes makes it unique worldwide."He said the Warwick bottle set a record price locally, and quite possible a world-record, for an antique crown-seal soft drink bottle of its type.16 June 2020 – Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins turns 15 - https://comicbook.com/movies/news/batman-begins-anniversary-the-dark-knight-christopher-nolan-christian-bale/As the '90s progressed, the image of Batman on the big screen began to descend into the realm of campiness previously seen in Adam West's take on the character back in the '60s TV series and movie, which started to sour audiences on the character entirely. After a variety of reports emerged about a new take on the character in the early '00s, fans were given Christopher Nolan's gritty and grounded origin story for the character in 2005, debuting Christian Bale as the Dark Knight. This new take on the character harkened back to some of the more grounded interpretations of the character, while adding just enough whimsy to remind audiences that this was still a comic book movie. Batman Begins went on to take in $371 million worldwide, a fraction of the figures that subsequent superhero movies would go on to earn, That film's success might not have been groundbreaking, but it set the stage for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, with some audiences considering those films to be the best comic book films of all time, both of which earned major box office hauls and the former earning Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his performance as the Joker.18 June 2020 – Dame Vera Lynn passes away at 103 - https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53091856The singer was best known for performing hits such as We'll Meet Again to troops on the front line in countries including India and Egypt. Six weeks ago, ahead of the 75th anniversary of VE Day and during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Dame Vera said simple acts of bravery and sacrifice still define our nation. A week later, she became the oldest artist to get a top 40 album in the UK, beating her own record when her greatest hits album re-entered the charts at number 30. Born in London's East Ham in 1917, Dame Vera's singing talent was discovered at a young age and by age 11 she had left school to pursue a full-time career as a dancer and singer. Lynn devoted much time and energy to charity work connected with ex-servicemen, disabled children and breast cancer. She was held in great affection by Second World War veterans and in 2000 was named the Briton who best exemplified the spirit of the 20th century. Paying tribute, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the singer's "charm and magical voice entranced and uplifted our country in some of our darkest hours". "Her voice will live on to lift the hearts of generations to come," he said. She died at the age of 103 in Ditchling,East Sussex.19 June 2020 – Sir Ian Holm passes away at 88 - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jun/19/ian-holm-dies-alien-chariots-of-fire-bilbo-bagginsSir Ian Holm, an acclaimed British actor whose long career included roles in Chariots of Fire and The Lord of the Rings has died. A star of stage and screen, Sir Ian won a Tony Award for best featured actor as Lenny in Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming in 1967. He won a British Academy Film Award and gained a supporting-actor Oscar nomination for portraying pioneering athletics coach Sam Mussabini in the hit 1982 film Chariots of Fire. His other well-known film roles include Ash in Alien, Father Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element, Chef Skinner in Ratatouille, and Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series. Sir Ian was knighted in 1998 for his services to drama. He died from Parkinson’s disease in London.Remembrances16 June 1804 – Johann Adam Hiller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Adam_HillerGerman composer,conductor and writer on music, regarded as the creator of the Singspiel, an early form of German opera. It is a form of German-language music drama, now regarded as a genre of opera. It is characterized by spoken dialogue, which is alternated with ensembles,songs, ballads, and arias which were often strophic, or folk-like. Singspiel plots are generally comic or romantic in nature, and frequently include elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and comically exaggerated characterizations of good and evil. In many of these operas he collaborated with the poet Christian Felix Weiße. Furthermore, Hiller was a teacher who encouraged musical education for women, his pupils including Elisabeth Mara and Corona Schröter. He was Kapellmeister of Abel Seyler's theatrical company, and became the first Kapellmeister of Leipzig Gewandhaus. To Hiller has been given the credit of being the originator of the Singspiel, the beginning of German comedy opera as distinct from the French and Italian developments. The most important of his operas were: Lottchen am Hofe (Lottie at court, 1760),Der Teufel ist los (The devil is loose, 1768), and Poltis, oder Das gerettete Troja (Poltis, or Troy rescued, 1782). The lyrics of all his Singspiele were of considerable musical value, and were long popular. Among his sacred compositions are: A Passion Cantata, Funeral Music in Honor of Hasse, a setting of the one hundredth Psalm; and a few symphonies. He died at the age of 76 in Leipzig.16 June 1858 – John Snow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_SnowEnglish physician and a leader in the development of anaesthesia and medical hygiene. He is considered one of the founders of modern epidemiology, in part because of his work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in Soho, London, in 1854, which he curtailed by removing the handle of a water pump. Snow's findings inspired the adoption of anaesthesia as well as fundamental changes in the water and waste systems of London, which led to similar changes in other cities, and a significant improvement in general public health around the world. John Snow was one of the first physicians to study and calculate dosages for the use of ether and chloroform as surgical anaesthetics, allowing patients to undergo surgical and obstetric procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. He designed the apparatus to safely administer ether to the patients and also designed a mask to administer chloroform. He personally administered chloroform to Queen Victoria when she gave birth to the last two of her nine children, Leopold in 1853 and Beatrice in 1857 and was still not yet knighted, leading to wider public acceptance of obstetric anaesthesia. John Snow studied chloroform as much as he studied ether, which was introduced in 1847 by James Young Simpson, a Scottish obstetrician. He realised that chloroform was much more potent and required more attention and precision when administering it. Snow first realised this with Hannah Greener, a 15-year-old patient who died on 28 January 1848 after a surgical procedure that required the cutting of her toenail. She was administered chloroform by covering her face with a cloth dipped in the substance. However, she quickly lost pulse and died. After investigating her death and a couple of deaths that followed, he realized that chloroform had to be administered carefully and published his findings in a letter to The Lancet. Snow was a skeptic of the then-dominant miasma theory that stated that diseases such as cholera and bubonic plague were caused by pollution or a noxious form of "bad air". The germ theory of disease had not yet been developed, so Snow did not understand the mechanism by which the disease was transmitted. His observation of the evidence led him to discount the theory of foul air. He first published his theory in an 1849 essay, On the Mode of Communication of Cholera, followed by a more detailed treatise in 1855 incorporating the results of his investigation of the role of the water supply in the Soho epidemic of 1854. By talking to local residents (with the help of Reverend Henry Whitehead), he identified the source of the outbreak as the public water pump on Broad Street (now Broadwick Street). Although Snow's chemical and microscope examination of a water sample from the Broad Street pump did not conclusively prove its danger, his studies of the pattern of the disease were convincing enough to persuade the local council to disable the well pump by removing its handle (force rod). Snow later used a dot map to illustrate the cluster of cholera cases around the pump. He also used statistics to illustrate the connection between the quality of the water source and cholera cases. He showed that homes supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company, which was taking water from sewage-polluted sections of the Thames, had a cholera rate fourteen times that of those supplied by Lambeth Waterworks Company, which obtained water from the upriver, cleaner Seething Wells. Snow's study was a major event in the history of public health and geography. It is regarded as the founding event of the science of epidemiology. He died from stroke at the age of 45 in London.16 June 1869 – Charles Sturt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_SturtCharles Napier Sturt, British officer and explorer of Australia, and part of the European exploration of Australia. He led several expeditions into the interior of the continent, starting from Sydney and later from Adelaide. His expeditions traced several of the westward-flowing rivers, establishing that they all merged into the Murray River, which flows into the Southern Ocean. He was searching to prove his own passionately held belief that an "inland sea" was located at the centre of the continent. Sturt found the conditions and climate in New South Wales much better than he expected, and he developed a great interest in the country. Sturt received approval from Governor Darling on 4 November 1828 to explore the area of the Macquarie River in western New South Wales. The party faced the ordeal of rowing back upriver on the Murray and Murrumbidgee, against the current, in the heat of an Australian summer. Their supplies ran out and, when they reached the site of Narrandera in April, they were unable to go any further. Sturt sent two men overland in search of supplies and they returned in time to save the party from starvation. But Sturt went blind for some months and never fully recovered his health. By the time they reached Sydney again, they had rowed and sailed nearly 2,900 kilometres of the river system. Sturt believed that it was his destiny to discover a great salt water lake, known as 'the inland sea', in the middle of Australia. At very least, he wanted to be the first explorer to plant his foot in 'the centre' of Australia. In August 1844, he set out with a party of 15 men, 200 sheep, six drays, and a boat to explore north-western New South Wales and to advance into central Australia. They travelled along the Murray and Darling rivers before passing the future site of Broken Hill. They were stranded for months by the extreme summer conditions near the present site of Milparinka. When the rains eventually came, Sturt moved north and established a depot at Fort Grey (today this site is within Sturt National Park). With a small group of men, including explorer John McDouall Stuart as his draughtsman, Sturt pressed on across what is now known as Sturt's Stony Desert and into the Simpson Desert. Unable to go further, he turned back to the depot. Sturt made a second attempt to reach the centre of Australia, but he developed scurvy in the extreme conditions. His health broke down and he was forced to abandon the attempt. John Harris Browne, surgeon on the expedition, assisted Sturt, took over leadership of the party and, after travelling a total of 3,000 miles (4,800 km), brought it back to safety. He died from heart failure at the age of 74 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.16 June 1977 – Wernher von Braun - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_BraunGerman and later American aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. While in his twenties and early thirties, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He helped design and develop the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Though a member of the SS, following the war he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. In 1960, his group was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. He advocated a human mission to Mars. Von Braun also developed the idea of a Space Camp that would train children in fields of science and space technologies, as well as help their mental development much the same way sports camps aim at improving physical development. Von Braun took a very conservative approach to engineering, designing with ample safety factors and redundant structure. This became a point of contention with other engineers, who struggled to keep vehicle weight down so that payload could be maximized. As noted above, his excessive caution likely led to the U.S. losing the race to put a man into space with the Soviets. He died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 65 in Alexandria, Virginia.Famous Birthdays16 June 1801 – Julius Plücker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Pl%C3%BCckerGerman mathematician and physicist. He made fundamental contributions to the field of analytical geometry and was a pioneer in the investigations of cathode rays that led eventually to the discovery of the electron. He also vastly extended the study of Lamé curves. In 1836, Plücker was made professor of physics at University of Bonn. In 1858, after a year of working with vacuum tubes of his Bonn colleague Heinrich Geißler, he published his first classical researches on the action of the magnet on the electric discharge in rarefied gases. He found that the discharge caused a fluorescent glow to form on the glass walls of the vacuum tube, and that the glow could be made to shift by applying an electromagnet to the tube, thus creating a magnetic field. It was later shown that the glow was produced by cathode rays. Plücker, first by himself and afterwards in conjunction with Johann Hittorf, made many important discoveries in the spectroscopy of gases. He was the first to use the vacuum tube with the capillary part now called a Geissler tube, by means of which the luminous intensity of feeble electric discharges was raised sufficiently to allow of spectroscopic investigation. He anticipated Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff in announcing that the lines of the spectrum were characteristic of the chemical substance which emitted them, and in indicating the value of this discovery in chemical analysis. According to Hittorf, he was the first who saw the three lines of the hydrogen spectrum, which a few months after his death, were recognized in the spectrum of the solar protuberances. In 1865, Plücker returned to the field of geometry and invented what was known as line geometry in the nineteenth century. In projective geometry, Plücker coordinates refer to a set of homogeneous co-ordinates introduced initially to embed the set of lines in three dimensions as a quadric in five dimensions. The construction uses 2×2 minor determinants, or equivalently the second exterior power of the underlying vector space of dimension 4. It is now part of the theory of Grassmannians, to which these co-ordinates apply in generality (k-dimensional subspaces of n-dimensional space). He was born in Elberfeld,Duchy of Berg,Holy Roman Empire.16 June 1915 – John Tukey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_TukeyJohn Wilder Tukey, American mathematician best known for development of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm and box plot. The Tukey range test, the Tukey lambda distribution, the Tukey test of additivity, and the Teichmüller–Tukey lemma all bear his name. He is also credited with coining the term 'bit'. Early in his career Tukey worked on developing statistical methods for computers at Bell Labs where he invented the term "bit" in 1947. n 1970, he contributed significantly to what is today known as the jackknife estimation—also termed Quenouille–Tukey jackknife. He introduced the box plot in his 1977 book, "Exploratory Data Analysis". He is also the creator of several little-known methods such as the trimean and median-median line, an easier alternative to linear regression. He also contributed to statistical practice and articulated the important distinction between exploratory data analysis and confirmatory data analysis, believing that much statistical methodology placed too great an emphasis on the latter. Though he believed in the utility of separating the two types of analysis, he pointed out that sometimes, especially in natural science, this was problematic and termed such situations uncomfortable science. Tukey coined many statistical terms that have become part of common usage, but the two most famous coinages attributed to him were related to computer science. While working with John von Neumann on early computer designs, Tukey introduced the word "bit" as a contraction of "binary digit" The term "bit" was first used in an article by Claude Shannon in 1948. In 2000, Fred Shapiro, a librarian at the Yale Law School, published a letter revealing that Tukey's 1958 paper "The Teaching of Concrete Mathematics" contained the earliest known usage of the term "software" found in a search of JSTOR's electronic archives, predating the OED's citation by two years. This led many to credit Tukey with coining the term, particularly in obituaries published that same year, although Tukey never claimed credit for any such coinage. In 1995, Paul Niquette claimed he had originally coined the term in October 1953, although he could not find any documents supporting his claim.The earliest known publication of the term "software" in an engineering context was in August 1953 by Richard R. Carhart, in a RAND Corporation research memorandum. He was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts.16 June 1909 – Archie Carr - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_CarrArchie Fairly Carr, Jr., American herpetologist,ecologist and a pioneering conservationist. He was a Professor of Zoology at the University of Florida. In 1987 he was awarded the Eminent Ecologist Award by the Ecological Society of America. He made extraordinary contribution to sea turtle conservation by way of bringing attention to the world's declining turtle populations due to over-exploitation and loss of safe habitat. He started out as a high school science teacher before becoming a college professor. He published numerous books and articles, including Ulendo: Travels of a Naturalist in and out of Africa, High Jungles and Low, So Excellent a Fishe (about his green turtles), The Windward Road and several Time-Life books such as The Everglades and The Reptiles. He was also the author of the Handbook of Turtles, and with Coleman J. Goin, Guide to the Reptiles, Amphibians and Freshwater Fishes of Florida. While a serious scientific and nature writer, he also had a remarkable sense of humor, which led him to publish the parody of scientific taxonomic keys - his A Subjective Key to the Fishes of Alachua County, Florida, affectionately known as the "Carr Key". Carr was also known for his efforts in conservation, especially for sea turtles, helping convince Costa Rica to establish Tortuguero National Park in 1975. He was a co-founder of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, which helps to save and monitor sea turtles in Tortuguero,Costa Rica. He was often joined in his conservation work by his wife Marjorie Carr, who was a major advocate for conservation in her own right. In 1952 Carr was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences. He was born in Mobile, Alabama.Events of Interest16 June 1884 – The first purpose-built roller coaster, LaMarcus Adna Thompson's "Switchback Railway", opens in New York's Coney Island amusement park. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-roller-coaster-in-america-opensKnown as a switchback railway, it was the brainchild of LaMarcus Thompson, traveled approximately six miles per hour and cost a nickel to ride. The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country. For five cents, riders would climb a tower to board the large bench-like car and were pushed off to coast 600 ft (183 m) down the track to another tower. The car went just over 6 mph (9.7 km/h). At the top of the other tower the vehicle was switched to a return track or "switched back" (hence the name). The new entertainment was an instant success and by the turn of the century there were hundreds of roller coasters around the country.16 June 1911 – IBM founded as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company in Endicott, New York. - http://www.techgetz.com/history-of-ibm/In 1911 the company that leased Unit record equipment, especially Hollerith punched cards and card readers to government bureaus and insurance agencies, became the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR). Thomas J. Watson (1874-1956) took over in 1924, using the name “International Business Machines.” IBM expanded into electric typewriters and other office machines. Watson was a salesman and concentrated on building a highly motivated, very well paid sales force that could craft solutions for clients unfamiliar with the latest technology. His motto was “THINK”; customers were advised to not “fold, spindle or mutilate” the delicate cardboard cards.16 June 2012 – The United States Air Force's robotic Boeing X-37B spaceplane returns to Earth after a classified 469-day orbital mission. - https://www.space.com/16110-secret-x37b-space-plane-landing.htmlThe unmanned X-37B spacecraft, also known as Orbital Test Vehicle-2 (OTV-2), glided back to Earth on autopilot, touching down at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base at 5:48 a.m. PDT (8:48 a.m. EDT, 1248 GMT). The landing brought to an end the X-37B program's second-ever spaceflight, a mission that lasted more than 15 months with objectives that remain shrouded in secrecy. The X-37B stayed in orbit for 469 days this time, more than doubling the 225 days its sister ship, OTV-1, spent in space last year on the program's maiden flight. Officials at Vandenberg said the spacecraft conducted "on-orbit experiments" during its mission. Exactly what the spacecraft, which is built by Boeing, was doing up there for so long is a secret. The details of the X-37B's mission, which is overseen by the Air Force's Rapid Capabilities Office, are classified, as is its payload. This secrecy has led to some speculation, especially online and abroad, that the X-37B could be a space weapon of some sort — perhaps a sophisticated satellite-killer. Some experts also suspect that the vehicle may be an orbital spy platform. "This is a test vehicle to prove the materials and capabilities, to put experiments in space and bring them back and check out the technologies," Richard McKinney, the Air Force's deputy undersecretary for space programs.16 June 2016 – Shanghai Disneyland Park, the first Disney Park in Mainland China, opens to the public - https://www.dw.com/en/distinctly-chinese-disneyland-opens-in-shanghai/a-19332984Shanghai Disney Resort, the first Disney resort in Mainland China and the sixth worldwide, celebrated its historic Grand Opening today, culminating one of Disney's most ambitious projects ever. The wonder and imagination of Disney greeted the people of China in magical new ways as the gates opened to Shanghai Disneyland, a theme park like no other with the biggest, tallest castle in any Disney park, the first pirate-themed land and Disney's most technologically advanced park to date. Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger and Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang cut a red ribbon together, signaling the Communist Party's endorsement of the $5.5 billion (4.87 billion euro) resort - one of the largest foreign investments in China. The lavish ceremony featured a children's choir singing "When You Wish Upon a Star," as well as actors dressed as Sleeping Beauty, Donald Duck, and other Disney characters dancing on stage. The entrance of the park is called "Mickey Avenue" instead of "Main Street USA." Stores feature Minnie Mouse in traditional quipau dresses and the Wandering Moon Teahouse is modeled after a building in eastern China. Shanghai Disney Resort is filled with immersive Disney storytelling, thrilling attractions, spectacular live entertainment and memory-making experiences designed to inspire and delight Chinese guests. The world-class vacation destination includes a magical theme park with six themed lands, two imaginatively designed hotels, a Disneytown shopping and dining district, and Wishing Star Park recreational area.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

“In the late 70’s there were bombings in London in Oxford Street and elsewhere and it was a serious business. Everyone was aware of the fact that bombs might go off…but I think people got on with their lives and their jobs. But I remember where I was when 9/11 happened. I was at Scotland Yard and someone came rushing in…and the whole event unfolded before our eyes. We quickly became aware we were dealing with a terrorist group very different to the IRA. Al Qaeda didn’t want to negotiate.” Nick shares his experiences from leading international terrorism operations going back decades from the IRA bombings in London to the 9/11 attack heralding the prominence of Al Qaeda. Before joining Charles Sturt University as Head of School of the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security, Nick represented the UK Association of Chief Police Officers - Terrorism and Allied Matters Committee (ACPO-TAM) and all the UK police forces as the Counter Terrorism and Extremism Liaison Officer (CTELO) at the British High Commission in Canberra. Nick covered Australasia and had a 'watching brief' on the Asia and the Pacific region. Prior to this posting Nick was in charge of International Counter Terrorism in Special Branch at New Scotland Yard.

“Journalists are not usually the subject of police raids. With the News Limited raid and the next day, the ABC raids, a precedent was set and police going in and searching around journalist files is a dangerous precedent to be set. The problem is journalism has a role as a watchdog in democracy and having police interfere in that role…threatens the fundamental obligation of journalists to their sources to maintain confidentiality.” Jock discusses the current climate and emerging laws governing data and security that are setting off alarm bells for investigative journalists in Australia. Has it gone too far? And if so – why? Jock is a senior lecturer in journalism at Charles Sturt and has been a journalist since 1991, with writing published in in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Times Higher Education Supplement (UK) and The Independent (UK), among many others, and his video and radio work has been broadcast on the ABC.

“Even though fascism was considered to be defeated conventionally after WW2, and while that meant those states were defeated, it didn’t mean the ideology was defeated. From 2009, broadly, we saw right-ring extremism surge internationally and that was echoed in Australia.” How much do we know about the history of right-wing terrorism? How far back does our history of right-wing terrorism go, and how did it take root in Australia? And at what point do ideological extreme views turn into terrorist acts? Kristy Campion talks with host Jess Mansour-Nahra about the history of right-wing terrorism in Australia and what it means for us today. Dr Kristy Campion is a Lecturer of Terrorism Studies with the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security. A historian by training, her postgraduate and research expertise has focused on terrorism and extremism, both domestically and internationally.

“People wanted democracy, freedom and progress. But authoritarian governments didn’t like it and in Syria, they didn’t relinquish power in peace and that started to cause civil war. And where there is civil war, resistance groups, insurgents, will emerge and some of these will be radical. The radical will take advantage of this to open up new ground for them, and Isis did.” Mehmet shares his thoughts with host Wes Ward on the influences in the Middle East that can lead to extremism, how the West is involved, and why military solutions don’t work.

“The media portrays it in a binary way...that we knew so much about jihadist terrorism and that policing and intelligence communities didn’t have any knowledge of white supremacists and ultra-nationalists. The answer is, these kinds of threats were also on the radar. But it’s true to say that we collectively don’t know as much as perhaps we should on these individuals and these groups.” Patrick spoke with host Wes Ward a month after the tragic 2019 Christchurch shooting and they discuss the immediate aftermath of the event for intelligence agencies. How much did intelligence communities know about right-wing terrorism and what is can be done about it? Patrick is an Associate Professor in the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security.

“In my final year of studies in high school, I was admitted to hospital and underwent surgery and without that I wouldn’t have been able to live for any period of time. I guess in that time I transformed… I started to realise I wasn’t all that invincible. It was a recognition that my survival was dependent on others, members of the health workforce, the expertise of doctors and nurses and clinicians. Not only was I not invincible, I was - and we all are - vulnerable people and our wellbeing and sometimes our very survival depends on those around us.” Phillip talks with host Jess Mansour-Nahra about how he came to be a paramedic, his experiences working in emergency management, and how paramedics cope with making life and death decisions in high intensity situations when lives are hanging in the balance.

“We have seen this kind of approach to protestors before. It reminds us of darker times, in the history of Queensland with Joh Bjelke-Petersen where the government made it a priority to stop civil disobedience. The police were encouraged to be heavy handed on protestors. Now of course, climate change is the main issue and economic insecurities, inequalities are growing…we see rich guys getting a bonus when they commit fraud, so civil disobedience is growing.” Piero talks about citizen’s protests and activism, and the government suppression of vegan and climate activism in Australia in the past 12 months. Do we have a right to protest? And why does the government seem to think we don’t?
