Why do we still have people rough-sleeping in our cities? How can an advanced economy like ours allow people to slip through the net so far, they have to live on the street? Andy Burnham has promised to end rough-sleeping, but how can he do it? Jo Richardson, Professor of Housing and Social Inclusion at Nottingham Trent University, tells Phil and Roger it's a complicated problem, but there is a clear solution. Hosted on Acast.

Imagine being a toddler, stepping out the door for the first time, walking 3 miles for some food and finding your way home again without a cell phone, GPS, or any kind of map. Humans would never, but this is normal for insects. Listen in and learn how they do it! Cover shot by Cabezonication/iStock/Getty.
Pigeons: The Heroic Communicators of Modern Warfare Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The humble pigeon is celebrated for its extraordinary homing skills, which Moss describes as making it the "ultimate mailman." While legends like the Rothschilds using pigeons to profit from the Battle of Waterloo are mostly myth, the bird's real-world contributions to communication during the World Wars were pivotal. During D-Day, radio silence was mandatory, and pigeons were released from Normandy beaches to carry news of successful landings back to Britain. Moss highlights Cher Ami, a pigeon that saved a New York battalion from "friendly fire" despite being severely wounded. These birds were so effective that the British military even deployed a unit to hunt peregrine falcons to protect pigeon messengers. Moss notes the paradox of the pigeon: often dismissed as urban pests, they were actually reliable, "unturnable" assets that saved the democratic world through their instinctual drive to return home.

Nella puntata 619, Francesca e Luca ci conducono in volo alla scoperta dei batteri che popolano la stratosfera e i piccioni che volano alle nostre altitudini.Francesca ci spiega che, per orientarsi, i piccioni utilizzerebbero diversi meccanismi, tutti indipendenti fra loro. In condizioni meteorologico favorevoli, essi utilizzano principalmente la vista. Quando non è possibile sfruttare gli occhi, i piccioni avrebbero una bussola speciale, contenuta nei loro macrofagi con speciali proprietà superparamagnetiche.In esterna, Andrea e Giorgio tornano con i loro consigli di lettura, perfetti da leggere a casa oppure in vacanza sotto l'ombrellone e in montagna.Tornati in redazione, Luca ci delizia con la consueta barza brutta, per poi raccontarci di speciali batteri presenti nella stratosfera, in grado di resistere a rigidissime condizioni di pressione, temperatura ma anche all'esposizione ai raggi UVC.Fonti:C.

Todo el mundo conoce el extraordinario sentido de la orientación de las palomas mensajeras: aunque te las lleves a centenares de kilómetros de su palomar son capaces de encontrar el camino de vuelta. ¿Cómo hacen para calcular estos viajes? Ésta es una pregunta que la biología está tratando de responder desde mediados del siglo XX. Hoy sabemos que se debe a una combinación de habilidades: observación del sol, uso de olores familiares para encontrar el camino y también percepción del campo magnético terrestre. Las palomas, y también muchos otros animales migratorios, parecen ser capaces de "leer dónde está el norte" gracias al magnetismo de nuestro planeta. Pero, de nuevo: ¿cómo logran hacer tal cosa? Ha de haber algo en su cuerpo que interaccione con el campo magnético y traslade esa información a su mente. A día de hoy, junio de 2026, todavía no tenemos una respuesta definitiva a esa pregunta, pero en el programa de hoy os contamos un descubrimiento reciente: que el sentido magnético podría residir en ciertas células del sistema inmunitario presentes en el hígado de las palomas. Esas células tienen en su interior partículas magnéticas, y parece que sin ellas no son capaces de orientarse. El artículo en que nos hemos basado para este programa es "Homing pigeon navigation relies on superparamagnetic macrophages under overcast conditions", de Clivia Lisowski et al. Podéis encontrarlo aquí: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ady2486 Si os interesa este asunto hemos hablado ya un par de veces del sentido magnético de los animales. En el capítulo s09e15 de La Brújula de la Ciencia os hablamos de los otros dos mecanismos que se han propuesto para explicar la magnetorrecepción en aves. Y si vais a nuestro pódcast hermano, Aparici en Órbita, en el episodio s07e24 os hablamos de magnetorrecepción en tortugas marinas. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 1 de junio de 2026.

Il tema dell'esilio è da sempre presente nella letteratura: da Dante a Ungaretti, da Ágota Kristóf a Herta Müller fino alla scrittura postcoloniale dei nostri giorni. I motivi dell'espatrio possono essere molteplici, ma sempre l'esperienza del dislocamento geografico coinvolge una profonda ridefinizione del proprio rapporto con la lingua. Lo dice in modo limpido il poeta Iosif Brodskij, costretto, nel 1972, a fuggire da Leningrado verso gli Stati Uniti, a causa delle persecuzioni politiche da parte del regime sovietico «la condizione che chiamiamo esilio è, prima di tutto, un evento linguistico». Durante questa puntata di “Moby Dick” parleremo della funzione testimoniale della scrittura dell'esilio, ma anche del suo farsi reagente per rielaborare l'esperienza del trovarsi in ‘terra straniera', aprendo uno spazio di riflessione sulle lingue, sulle identità e sulla memoria. Ne parleremo con Silvia Tatti, professoressa di letteratura italiana alla Sapienza di Roma, e autrice del libro Esuli. Scrittrici e scrittori dall'antichità ad oggi (Carocci, 2021) e con Tiziana De Rogatis, professoressa di letterature comparate all'Università per Stranieri di Siena, autrice di Homing. Ritrovarsi. Traumi e translinguismi delle migrazioni in Morante, Hoffman, Kristóf, Scego e Lahiri (Edizioni Università per Stranieri di Siena, 2023).

These chapters focus largely on Schierke, Isidro, and their counterparts in the new Band of the Hawk: annoying psychic girl Sonia, and mildly annoying (and boring!) knight, Mule. The art is amazing, detailed and busy - just like the events of the plot AND the character development and world building at play. It's a fun read, even if it all made our brains a little tired after trying to follow the billions of small panels and billions of instances of dialogue. Ultimately, Miura is introducing the cliche'd (for good reason) concept that both sides of any war feel as they they are doing things for the betterment of the world; or, at least, their leader is on their behalf. Plus, Schierke unlocks a new DLC skin: “scullery maid.” Follow No Guts, No Glory on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nogutsnoglorypc/ Check out Joey and Ryan's Renaissance Martial Arts organization: https://www.thearma.org/ Check out Steve and Joey's other podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/probing-ancient-aliens/id1321801647 https://open.spotify.com/show/3aREEXpe4DE37LsNkUxntW Check out Steve and Joey's Patreon for that other podcast: https://www.patreon.com/probingancientaliens
This episode covers the last part of chapter 28 from: “I returned to Ranchi a few days later...” to the end of the chapter Summary: Paramahansa Yogananda's search for the reincarnated Kashi in Kolkata comes to a beautiful crescendo and an emotional encounter with Kashi's new family to be. We examined Guruji's abilities to detect electrical impulses and translate them into profound intuitive understanding of the direction he should traverse, while also discussing the concept of memory and reincarnation from both eastern and biblical perspectives. The discussion concluded with an analysis of Guruji's interventions in physical spaces and his mystical experiences, including the significance of wearing ochre robes in the Swami order and the importance of genuine spiritual advancement. 1:22 Prior Episode; 2:50 Finding Kashi; 14:26 Homing in; 26:22 Fulfilling the eternal promise; 39:55 Footnote; 49:44 Reflections on the chapter.

2/8. Pigeons: The Great Communicators and Wartime Heroes — Steven Moss — Moss discusses the humble pigeon as a paradoxical feral bird species possessing extraordinary homing capabilities that made it invaluable as a communications mechanism. Although the famous narrative of Nathan Rothschild using pigeons following the Battle of Waterloo is apocryphal, pigeons were genuinely crucial wartime messengers. Moss emphasizes that pigeons were essential during the D-Day invasion due to radio silence protocols, and the celebrated pigeon Cher Ami saved imperiled soldiers during World War I. Moss notes that British forces even systematically killed Peregrine Falcons to protect pigeon communications, inadvertently contributing to the species' subsequent endangerment and near-extinction. 1869

This week we welcome London-based interior designer Nicola Harding to the show to discuss her latest book "Homing Instinct." Nicola—whose work spans boutique hotels, restaurants, and royalty—shares her unconventional path into design, the influence of garden design on her interiors, and her human-led approach to layouts, color, and pattern. Listen to discover Nicola's strategy for finding a home's "spirit" by listening to people and place; she also recounts a church-to-restaurant conversion, a vivid Italian project rich in terracottas and dusty reds, and the practical origins of her furniture and homewares line, all underscored by a commitment to craftsmanship and locally made materials. Key Takeaways: Prioritize how people live: start with layout and create human-scaled “places” (cozy corners, pools of light) before decorating. Use color boldly and early—paint is a low-cost, high-impact tool; layer similar tones for depth and mood. Treat stripes/checks and scaled repeats as neutral texture; mix scales and tonal variants for harmony. Favor natural pigments, vintage fabrics, and local craftsmanship; design furniture to solve real project needs. What You'll Hear on This Episode: • 00:00 Introduction • 00:34 Meet Nicola Harding: London-based designer • 01:40 An unusual path into interior design • 05:33 From garden design to interiors: lessons learned • 07:36 Creating placement and flow: start with layout • 11:00 Questions that unlock how a home should work • 15:00 How light influences activity and layout choices • 17:56 Choosing paint: why color often comes early in Nicola's process • 19:30 Using paint to dial mood and atmosphere • 21:00 Accent color instincts and natural palettes • 23:48 Pattern play: stripes, checks, and scale as neutrals • 25:16 The importance of natural pigments and vintage fabrics • 27:08 Finding a home's spirit: listening to clients and place • 29:00 Design challenge: converting a church into a restaurant • 30:41 The Italian project: layered neutrals and earthy reds • 35:00 How Nicola selects and tests saturated wall colors • 37:08 Developing a furniture collection from real project needs • 40:00 Local makers, ethical production, and functional design details • 42:33 Writing Homing Instinct: revisiting projects and collaborators • 44:00 Current projects: varied architecture and shifting palettes • 46:00 Where to follow Nicola and buy the book • 47:30 Conclusion Also Mentioned: • Order your copy of Homing Instinct - https://bit.ly/4hGV6Ex • Nicola Harding & Co.

France's last foyers – housing for immigrant workers – are set for demolition. But some current residents are worried about what they'll lose. Hundreds of “foyers” - housing units especially for immigrant workers – were built after World War II. The economy was booming and France needed unskilled labour to help rebuild the country. But since the 1990s there has been a policy to get rid of the old foyers and replace them with a type of social housing. However, residents of the old foyers fear they are going to lose out in this transformation. Carolyn Lamboley has been visiting some foyers around Paris and speaking to those who for decades have called these places home. They fear for the break-up of their communities, for a loss of their culture and the little they have.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

"I could live a lifetime here and still be learning - it's a relationship - the greatest relationship of my life"Alice Irene Whitaker lives in a small cabin in the woods, is a mother of three, an author of the book “Homing" and host of the 'Reseed podcast, which is about rebuilding our relationship with nature.Surrounded by creek, meadow, and forest, Alice Irene began a new lifelong journey of repairing her fractured relationship with both herself and the natural world. Dismantling a history of anorexia, obsessiveness, and workaholism, she decided to stop taking and start caretaking. She shares how taking the leap to a life in a small cabin in the woods where seasons are apparent, repetition is a daily mantra and a shedding of her previous identity onto the forest floor has given her an opportunity to live a lifetime in her new landscape and still be learning from the outside world every day - she sees her surrounds as a relationship-the greatest relationship of her life.

This week's EYE ON NPI is a Texas-two-steppin' motion controller that takes your 2-axis motion control to the next level: it's ADI/Maxim/Trinamic's TMC5272 Dual-Axis Stepper Motor Controller and Driver IC. We've been checking out many of Trinamic's great stepper motor driver chips lately and this one is the latest generation, with 2 drivers, plus motion control, for advanced usage even on boards that don't need real-time GPIO toggling for steps. Trinamic is definitely not a group that 'rests on their laurels': every year they are coming out with even more improvements to their awesome stepper motor drivers. This chip has 250 pages of datasheet and each page details yet another improvement or setting that will make your mechatronics fast, silent, and efficient. What sets the TMC5272 (https://www.digikey.com/short/0mq250r7) apart? Well, the first big thing is you get double the fun with two full stepper drivers for X and Y axis support. The voltage range is 2-20V, so good for low to medium voltage motors. The tradeoff is you can only get 1.5A max peak current, 1.1A sine wave, but for most users that don't have massive steppers that is perfectly fine. There's also a lot more 'smarts' in this stepper than the ones even from a couple years ago: 8-point motion control, no-loss/no-sense-resistor current management, 2D trajectory management over two axes, encoder or reference switch inputs, sensorless standstill motion detection. Of course all the fixin's you expect from the previous generations are there: silent stepping, UART and SPI and step/dir interface, stallguard, 1 to 256 microstepping, and diagnostic output But, it's in a 3x3mm WLCSP package: this means you'll need at least a 4 layer board and plugged vias. It also means heat dissipation might be more challenging than the drivers with the big ground pads. However, a nice tradeoff is that there is internal 'lossless' current sensing, so no chunky resistors are required. The upside of a WLCSP is that we have lots more pins for tons of interfaces. Each driver can run one bipolar stepper motor, and has multiple interfaces for control. As usual there's the STEP/DIR interface. This is great for usage with older designs that expect to toggle GPIO on each step. However, the S/D pins are shared with some of the cool sensors/encoders/switches. Plus all the really cool things the chip can do are too complex to adjust with just a few GPIO, so to really get the most use you'll need to use one of the packetized interfaces: UART or SPI. UART is great if you happen to only have USB for your computer: you can always just use a USB-serial converter, and the controller can be daisy-chained for multiple drivers per UART. If you have extra GPIO and/or a dedicated SPI port, we would recommend that since it's much faster and you can easily add more chips with one chip-select per. Some of the cool things you can do via the interface include a 8-point ramp controller: instead of stepping each motor and dynamically adjusting the micro-steps for speed/precision, the TMC5272 can do it all on its own. It can also handle knowing 'where' it is on an axis bar, by using the built in homing support. Homing can be done either by using the sensorless 'StallGuard' (https://www.analog.com/en/lp/001/building-better-stepper-motor-system.html) or with reference switches. You can wire the switches directly to the TMC5272 - good if you want to have slow motion homing since you don't have to whack into the end of the axis - and then let the chip manage where it is. Then you can tell it you want to move and when you want to get there, and the TMC will take care of the rest. For ultra-accurate motion control, you can connect an external optical or magnetic encoder to the motor shaft that will tell you exactly when a step has occurred. There's also a neat back-EMF sensor that can tell when the motor has moved while 'disabled' - good to know when you will need to do another homing step after re-enabling the motor. There's also an TMC5272-EVAL-KIT eval board that you can plug-n-play for instant stepper motor usage (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/analog-devices-inc-maxim-integrated/TMC5272-EVAL-KIT/22107596), it works instantly with the TMCL IDE for trying out the various programmable settings (https://www.analog.com/en/resources/evaluation-hardware-and-software/motor-motion-control-software/tmcl-ide.html) and turn the motor via the TMCL IDE which sends UART/SPI commands over their USB driver board, so it's perfect for verifying the performance with your desired motors. If you want double the pleasure, double the fun of double-motor driving, you can pick up the ADI/Maxim/Trinamic's TMC5272 Dual-Axis Stepper Motor Controller and Driver IC (https://www.digikey.com/short/0mq250r7) from DigiKey today - it's in stock & ready to ship immediately! Place your order now & by tomorrow morning you can be step-step-stepping to the most advanced 2-axis motor controller design you've ever seen.
Homing pigeons have a way of always returning home. In the same way, when we become believers in Christ, the Holy Spirit acts as a sort of "homing mechanism" inside of us that draws us back to God, no matter how far we drift. Repentance isn't just for the unbeliever -- it's a reminder for each of us who have strayed to stop where we are and return to God.

In this episode of Play Saves the World, the hosts Daniel and Kevin are joined by Thomas Jones, also known as the Birdman, to discuss the love of homing pigeons. They talk about the different types of pigeons, the special abilities of homing pigeons, and the bond between humans and these birds. Thomas shares his personal journey with pigeons and how they saved his life by keeping him away from negative influences. The conversation also touches on the intelligence of crows and the role of nature in providing a sense of freedom and calm. Thomas shares how he got into raising and racing pigeons, including a story about hatching a pigeon from an egg found by his son. He talks about different types of pigeons and their abilities, as well as the process of racing pigeons. Thomas also discusses his ministry of releasing pigeons at funerals and weddings, explaining the symbolism behind it. He shares some fun facts about pigeons and surprises the hosts with a live pigeon named Wolf. The conversation ends with Thomas sharing his YouTube channel and the impact his videos have had on viewers. Takeaways Homing pigeons have a special ability to find their way back home no matter where they are released. Pigeons can form a strong bond with their owners and provide a sense of companionship and dependability. Nature and animals, like pigeons, can bring a sense of calm, joy, and connection to something greater. Hobbies and playful activities, such as keeping pigeons, can have a profound impact on one's life and provide a sense of purpose and meaning. Pigeon racing involves training and racing homing pigeons over long distances. Releasing pigeons at funerals and weddings symbolizes the release of the spirit and brings comfort to grieving families. Keeping pigeons requires regular cleaning and protection from predators. Pigeons can live up to 20 years in captivity. Pigeons have a heart rate of 600 beats per minute while flying. Different breeds of pigeons have different abilities and characteristics. Sound Bites "The birds actually were good for me and kept me away from a lot of things that I could have gotten involved in as a youth."

The year is 1888. Queen Victoria is celebrating her 50th year ruling over an empire on which, famously, the sun never sets. Her loyal subjects, as well as colonizing the heck out of the world, are breeding. And to signify whether they've got a little girl or a little boy in the family, sometimes the offspring break out from the usual white gowns and get dressed in their gender-assigned colors. For girls, blue. For boys, pink. Blue, it was thought, is a more delicate and dainty shade and also the color associated with Mary Magdalene, the ultimate mother of Christendom. And pink, connected to red, is the stronger color with martial overtones. The British redcoats, after all, were the greatest fighting force of their time. And in fact, it wasn't until the 1940s that things got flipped and pink got stapled onto girls and blue to boys. Today's guest is Kassia St. Clair, a distinguished historian and author with a unique focus on color, textiles, and the everyday aspects of life that often go unnoticed. Her book, "The Secret Lives of Color," delves into the fascinating stories behind different colors throughout history. With a background in design and style writing, Cassia brings a blend of curiosity and discipline to her work, bridging the gap between academia and popular culture. Get book links and resources at http://2pageswithmbs.com and subscribe to the 2 Pages newsletter at https://2pageswithmbs.substack.com. Kassia reads two pages from Homing: On Pigeons, Dwellings and Why We Return. [reading begins at 16:34] Hear us discuss: "I think the writer comes to the subject both because of this childhood experience, but also because he himself is struggling with the idea of home." - 00:20:55 | "Home is those friendships, many of which I still am lucky to have. Home is what I'm creating for my daughter. And home is London." [25:03] | "History books are given to subject matter experts and professional rivals. You will quite often see that mistakes are made. People don't tend to agree on the facts, and that's why history keeps on moving forward." [36:20] | "I think it's one of the fundamental dances, that dance between freedom and commitment." [38:56] | "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. You know, that sounds both lonely and also at times a little enticing." [39:07]

Before the development of electricity and electrical communications, the fastest information could travel was the speed of a horse. Maybe a ship might have been a bit faster depending on the route, but for the most part, the speed of information was limited to the speed of a human. However, there was one exception to this. It was a communications method that could only carry small amounts of information, it only worked in one direction, and the number of messages you could send was limited, but it was faster than anything else. It was used for centuries and was still relied upon even after the development of radio.

What do these next few weeks hold for the Jets? It has to be for fans to have faith in Rob Saleh and to get some momentum going into next year. And with Aaron Rodgers coming back, Boomer said we will be in the same spot as we were last year in the offseason with the Jets. The Jets can't get smoked at any point during the last part of the season. The Jets can't look like the Chargers did last night. Who will win the final game between the Jets and Bill Belichick? Either way, it will be ‘poetry in motion'. If you're Belichick do you go along with them trying to trade you, or do you make Bob Kraft fire you? We also talked about homing pigeons and wondered if people still use them today. We then took calls about homing pigeons. A lot of calls about pigeons. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio said you can actually bet on pigeon racing on your phone. Jerry has audio from Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco talking about taking a homeless man to a strip club. They also talked about strip club cuisine. Boomer said he doesn't want to eat at a strip club. The Chargers got smoked last night by the Raiders. It was 42-0 at the half. In the final segment of the hour, Dwight Howard is embroiled in a lawsuit. A man said Howard sexually assaulted him. Howard's lawyer called the man a willing participant. There was some personal touching involved. Howard's lawyer said this is a case of ‘unrequited love'.
After Boomer and Gio get on the topic of homing pigeons for some reason, a bunch of callers check in to let us in on their knowledge. Did you know that homing pigeon racing...FOR MONEY...was a thing?
