The time has come for us to take on one of the greatest works of the 20th century, Con-Dom’s “The Eighth Pillar : A Confession Of Faith.” We dive deep, not only into the album and the work of Mike Dando, but also into the life of the man that inspired the album, T.E. Lawrence, as well as his monumental book “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.” Let us walk in the way of insight.
Across England, selected GP surgeries are trialling 7-day working, but there are reports that take-up has been so low in some areas, particularly on Sundays, that pilots have been abandoned. Dr Margaret McCartney and Dr Mark Porter investigate where the pressure for extended opening hours is coming from. Mark visits Herefordshire where Taurus Healthcare, a federation of local GPs, is running a late night/weekend service. Managing Director Graeme Cleland describes the high take-up of the service after an initial slow start, and says new patients have been treated, showing previously latent demand in the system. Mike Dando is a wheelchair user with spina bifida and diabetes, and before the pilot started a year ago, he would have to wait in all day for a district nurse to dress his ulcerated legs. Now he just makes an appointment at a time convenient for him. But at the end of this year the seed money provided by the Prime Minister's Challenge Fund runs out, so what will happen to the Herefordshire pilot? Chair of the local Clinical Commissioning Group, Dr Andy Watts, says without extra funding, the pilot service is unlikely to continue and deputy chair of the BMA's GP Committee, Dr Richard Vautrey, calls for investment in current GP practices rather than expensive additional services. Doctors in the UK have been warned by public health officials to be on the lookout for people who become ill after travelling to South Korea. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has killed 27 people in the region and there are 174 confirmed cases of the disease. Nearly five hundred people have died worldwide after the virus first emerged three years ago, in Saudia Arabia. Jonathan Ball, Professor of Molecular Virology at the University of Nottingham, describes how coronaviruses like MERS (and SARS) jump to humans via an intermediary animal. In the case of MERS, that's via the Dromedary camel. Nitrous Oxide or laughing gas has a long history of recreational use but in recent years, there's been an exponential growth in use among teenagers and young people. Founder of the Psychedelic Society, Stephen Reid, describes the physical effects of laughing gas and tells Mark why he believes the gas shouldn't form part of the government's planned clampdown on legal highs. But Dr Paul Seddon, respiratory paediatrician from Queen Alexandra Children's Hospital in Brighton, warns that increased use could mean increased health problems, like the case of the teenager girl with a collapsed lung admitted to his hospital after inhaling the gas. Producer: Fiona Hill.
Various Artists - New Noise Year's Party (3 x C-60 cassette) A01 - H64 A02 - Export B01 - Condom B02 - Iron Brotherhood C01 - Victor/im C02 - mistery guest This 3 cassette set is a report on a small festival organised by Club Moral on 31 December 1986. Four of the bands had earlier played together in Birmingham on an event organised by Condom (Mermaid, 26 September 1986). Apart from the recordings not very much information on the event was to be found in our archives. "With bleeding ears from old to new" certainly sounds like an excellent idea and I would definitely be willing and able to play. As Ingo is looking to organise something in Germany between December 20th and January 7th the two could be combined very well. (letter from Condom, 15 November 1986) Mike wrote me that you're going to invite me to a live event on New Year at Club Moral. Please confirm. Please also confirm if you are interested in a H64 performance at Club Moral; I enclosed a demo tape in the above mentioned package. (letter from Victor/im, 3 December 1986) H64 is a German project by Thomas Beck. Iron Brotherhood is a Scottish project by Jess Hopkins. Victor/im is a German project by Ingo Techmeier. Condom is an English project by Mike Dando. Export were a Dutch/English collaboration, but I don't remember who. The Mystery Guest were Club Moral. This episode was posted in three separate uploads, this is the third one.
