Episode: 1563 Looking back at the impact of toys.  Sorting through a box the other day, I found old toys -- a lead soldier, a stuffed dog, a set of blocks.

A shorter episode this week but that makes it the perfect length to listen to on your way to Holiday Shopping.  This week we go uplifting as we dig into the life of Beatrice 'Tillie' Shilling.  The child of a master butcher and one of thre girls born and raised in the South of England, she spent her pocket money on tools and penknives, deconstructed devices to see how they fit together and worked and played with Meccano sets, early construction toys allowing children to build working models of cars and cranes.  She would even win a competition for building from these kits.  By the age of 14, she bought her first motorcycle originally to beat her sisters in bike races.  But she tuned, tinkered and replaced every single part remaking the machine and soon was speeding around on it everywhere.  She began to study practical electronics and work in the field as young as 15, even going on to become an Engineer (in the 1930's when women just didn't do such things).  We cover the life of this amazing woman and how she saved both the Spitfire and the Hurricane, earned an OBE and hit the ton at Brooklands as a motorcycle racer in this uplifting, girl powerm yes it's in Surrey but there's no fringe on top episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Good news for lovers of Meccano because that's what there's a surfeit of. We do a Hume Error, Set's got a wonky barcode, and Diary Dave unearths the very first wiki and plumps up his Pink.

Un laboratorio pieno di provette e flaconi, colmi di liquidi colorati e ribollenti. Questa è l'immagine che abbiamo di un laboratorio di chimica. Ma non è stato sempre così. Per secoli, nei precursori dei moderni laboratori chimici, al posto delle provette avreste trovato pestelli, macine e mortai: farmaci, coloranti e ogni genere di prodotto che oggi definiremmo chimico, veniva per lo più prodotto a secco, pestando, macinando e polverizzando con abbondante olio di gomito. Oggi, un gruppo sempre più ampio di chimici sta riscoprendo quest'arte e verificando che, in diverse circostanze, la chimica a secco - oggi chiamata meccano-chimica - può essere di gran lunga preferibile, facendo risparmiare costi, reagenti e relativo inquinamento. Ne parliamo con Leonardo Lo Presti, professore di Chimica Fisica del Dipartimento di Chimica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano.

Een aflevering waarin Kurt en Robin naar de achtergrond kijken en het decor beginnen te bestuderen.Kurt blijft nog even alleen op stap – alhoewel: alleen? We treffen hem aan met Hanco Kolk, de man achter S1ngle, Gilles De Geus en Meccano, in het Brusselse Designmuseum, waar tot 1 maart 2026 de expo Design and Comics: Living in a Box te bezichtigen is. Hanco legt haarfijn uit waarom de expo de moeite waard is om te bezoeken.

Art Brut, come la definiva il suo inventore, l'artista e teorico francese Jean Dubuffet «è un'arte grezza, pura, non filtrata»: non è l'arte dei dilettanti, ma l'arte dell'istinto, dell'anima nuda, dell'espressione incontaminata che esce dai percorsi accademici, dalle convenzioni artistiche e culturali: è l'arte insomma di chi non ha frequentato scuole, ma ha imparato da sé, dai propri sogni, dalle proprie visioni. Un'arte che ispirerà nel corso della sua carriera lo stesso Dubuffet, che ne diviene anche il principale collezionista. La sua donazione di cinquemila opere nel 1971 alla città di Losanna è all'origine della Collection d'art brut, che oggi vanta una collezione di ben 70mila opere. Una importante mostra al Museo delle culture di Milano – realizzata in collaborazione con il museo losannese – ne racconta la genesi e i temi attraverso le opere di alcuni dei protagonisti dell'art brut. Per capire quanto questa arte “incontaminata” abbia contribuito ad ampliare i confini dell'arte e come lo sguardo sull'art brut sia cambiato dalla metà del Novecento a oggi, Voci dipinte ospita chi ha ideato e curato l'esposizione “Dubuffet e l'art brut. L'arte degli outsider”: Sarah Lombardi, Anic Zanzi e Baptiste Brun.Dalle visioni degli outsider dell'art brut all'ironia visionaria e anticipatrice di Enrico Baj; al maestro della neoavanguardia italiana Palazzo Reale a Milano dedica un'ampia retrospettiva a cento anni dalla nascita che analizza con uno sguardo nuovo l'artista dei Generali e dei Meccano.

Nous sommes au lendemain de Noël, les boîtes de Meccano étaient-elles au pied du sapin ? Pas sûr ! Mais ce jeu de construction aura marqué des générations d'enfants. De notre enfance, nous gardons tous de doux souvenirs, des images aux couleurs un peu passées, comme de vieux polaroids. De notre enfance, nous gardons tous en mémoire ces jeux qui nous ont occupés de nombreuses heures. Et au moment où l'usine Meccano de Calais, dans le nord de la France, ferme ses portes après plus de 50 ans d'existence, Laurence Théault a donné la parole à des passionnés de Meccano qui racontent leurs souvenirs.

durée : 00:29:02 - Quel est ce jouet qui a marqué votre enfance ? - Ils sont toujours à la "mode" Le téléphone à roulettes Fisher Price, la Course à l'héritage, Meccano, Sophie La Girafe, la poupée Corolle, le Loto des odeurs… Ce sont des jeux qui ont marqué votre enfance ?

Turning his childhood passion for Meccano into a successful career as an engineer, Guy Shepherd has also become a keen collector of military history, vehicles and equipment. Having now completed multiple trips across Europe to deliver medical supplies, vehicles and equipment, Guy is sharing the stories of drone warfare, bravery and patriotism from the Ukrainian front-lines. With UK2UKR working closely with Make A Difference Foundation (MAD) and The Ukrainian Patriots Association, Guy & his team hope to continue to provide life-saving kit & equipment to units like the 'Fury' Brigade in the 'Tsunami' Regiment.

It's time for round two of Queens of the Drone Age's recap of Melbourne International Games Week! And when we say games we mean GAMES. In this episode, Tegan talks about two Aussie indie games that caught her eye - the Meccano-esque transportation challenge of Mars First Logistics and the 1950's bartending game Six O'Clock Swill. Keeping up the celebration of Aussie indies, Rae considers leave horse heads in beds with The Godfeather. (Not really - the game is actually a mafia pigeon roguelike where you poop on people). Plus, Amanda celebrates the culinary classics in the Singaporean-made game Cuisineer, and incorrectly speculates that the HTC Vive Focus 3 VR headset could lead the Queen's to beat Rad's high score in virtual reality experience games like Zero Latency.

Name: Nathan JonesCurrent title: Managing DirectorCurrent organisation: Improvability SolutionsI've been regularly described as a "useful guy to have around". This is because I seem to have a knack for helping solve problems, fix things, and basically improve the capability of the people and teams I work with. I'm the older version of the kid that played with lego and Meccano and gets excited by fixing things.I've worked in many areas and businesses in Australia and internationally. One of the key things I've learned is that listening and being helpful in the way others want to be helped are universally more welcomed than telling people what to do.My background includes many projects and roles in which I've been able to save time and money, make things easier to do, and help make decisions more real and simple. I've had the great fortune of having the opportunity to work in many industries. These include:* Utilities (Gas, Electricity, Water)* Government * Banking (retail and investment, including superannuation and insurance)* Manufacturing (local and international, small and well, frankly enormous!)* Logistics and Warehousing* Sales and distribution (including sales ops)* Research including the university sector and industrial R&D* For Purpose (Not for Profit) Sector* Training and coaching (as teams and as individuals, often execs)Resources mentioned in this episode:Free Download of The Leadership Survival Guide (10 World-Class Leaders Reveal Their Secrets)The Leadership Conversations PodcastThe Jonno White Leadership PodcastThe Leadership Question of the Day PodcastClarity Website7 Questions on Leadership SeriesWe'd Love To Interview YOU In Our 7 Questions On Leadership Series!Subscribe To Clarity's Mailing ListJonno White's eBook Step Up or Step OutJonno White's Book Step Up or Step Out (Amazon)

Aldrig har klyftan mellan pratarna Fredrik och Jörgen varit större än när det gäller Meccano. Fast då det handlar om fusionsenergi är enigheten och okunnigheten lika stor hos båda. Andra ämnen som upptar podden i dag är ordlig.se, orättvisor i affärsvärlden, containerrederier, BoJo, Trump, privatjet, Facebook-kraschen och Elon Musk som jagas av en 19-årig twittrare.

Episode: 1563 Looking back at the impact of toys.  Today, we play with toys.

“Non si può pensare un'architettura senza pensare alla gente” diceva Richard Rogers. Nato a Firenze nel 1933 poi trasferitosi a Londra con lo scoppio della guerra, era figlio del cugino dell'architetto italiano Ernesto Nathan Rogers, figura che lo influenzò nella scelta del percorso di studi, poi completato con successo presso l'AA School di Londra e la Yale University di New Haven. Nel 1964 fondò il Team 4 insieme a Su Brumwell, sua ex moglie, e alla coppia Norman Foster e Wendy Cheesman. Il collettivo contribuì alla definizione della nuova corrente High Tech, portata vanti nel 1971 con Renzo Piano in occasione della progettazione del Centre Pompidou. Rogers, l'architetto con le bretelle ed il sorriso sempre smagliante, letteralmente giocava con le strutture come fossero pezzi del Meccano giganti dai vivaci colori pop! È passato dalle cromature del londinese Lloyds Building all'arcobaleno dell'aeroporto di Madrid-Barajas, i cui pilastri biforcuti sorreggono una sinuosa onda in copertura. Tantissimi i riconoscimenti, fra questi il Premio Imperiale, il Leone d'oro e il Premio Pritzker ricevuto nel 2007. La sua recente scomparsa lascia un grande vuoto nel mondo dell'architettura. Ripercorriamo insieme la sua storia e i suoi progetti.

Way back in the early 60s in an outer suburb of Sydney they erected a large structure to put up signposts and traffic signals on a wide intersection. It was built for its function not its looks and was basic and solid in its design. It became known affectionately as the Maccano Set. When it came time for it to be replaced the road authority displayed a number of modern plans. But the community hated the idea. They had their affection for their Maccano Set and so it has been replaced with a similar looking structure. Graham Patterson is a traffic engineer who has been looking into the history and the impact of this structure. He joins David Brown for a chat.

Kirsty Young invites actor Peter Sallis to choose eight records to take to Radio 4's mythical desert island. As the unassuming Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine and the equally mild-mannered Wallace in Wallace and Gromit, Sallis brings to life a sepia-tinted Britain that barely seems to exist any more. Now aged 88 and with failing eyesight, no-one, he says, is more surprised at his success than himself: "I've been lucky enough to keep going and I realise now, though it's taken me nearly 100 years, that my voice is distinctive. I'm very lucky indeed."[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: The finale of Symphony No.5 in E flat Major by Jean Sibelius Book: The collected works by P G Wodehouse Luxury: No.7 Meccano outfit.
