John conceived the idea and made the original design of Teletext in the early 1970's whilst working at Philips / Mullard Central Application Laboratories (CAL) in London. He left Manchester university in 1970 with a passionate desire to work in the field of electronic brains, (now called AI), digital computing and information systems. Though less than a year out of university, Philips promoted John in 1971 to Lead Designer for Computer Data Entry Terminals. This was a new field as computers at that time typically used mechanical machines (teletypes) for data entry. His development of advanced computer text displays was ground-breaking work in itself. However, John's interest in the potential for a home information system continued. An obstacle was the high expense of the large amount of electronics that would be required by each home TV to make it possible. Unfortunately, the necessary technology to reduce the cost did not yet exist. Remember that this was the early years of the Information Revolution. Computers were very rare. Those that existed were the size of large rooms and found in a few big companies and institutions. Intel had only recently invented the microprocessor and PCs and smart phones were things of the future. The chips that John required and which would fuel the Information Revolution were yet to be invented. John has some very amusing anecdotes from his Teletext time at Mullard. Tales of sitting in a London pub in 1971 nursing a half pint of Guinness whilst hoping for inspiration to help him dream up a design that would both work on the old, mal-adjusted TV of his granny! and yet also be cheap enough for her to buy. His first idea to add digital electronics to home TVs and create a UK wide information system was born in 1970 whilst working on experimental electronics for computer data entry. In fact, John's design was prepared for an early implementation as reasonably priced modules to add to an existing TV and for a future low cost application when integrated in to chips. His designs became the base of the Mullard Teletext Decoder Modules, the Mullard Teletext chips and Teletext systems throughout the World. Philips, as one of the World's biggest TV tube manufacturers backed the Teletext idea as it had potential to increase screen sales. Mullard CAL Management had two additional requirements: It should be affordable to “the man in the street” and be able to work on very old black and white TV sets as well as on the latest colour ones. In 1971 John devised a design and plan that overcame all technical obstacles and achieved both these goals. He drew up a proposal for a complete Teletext system. Included were a receiver for installation on home TVs and other essentials for a nationwide information system. For example: How the TV broadcaster could transmit the information to users homes. How multiple information pages could be made available and selected and many other technical details. The proposal was sent to the BBC and to the UK Independent Broadcasters. It lead to the launch of BBC Ceefax in 1974. The text display and fundamental design that John had devised became the basis of the World standard for Teletext. In the following years it was implemented in many countries under a wide variety of names. At Mullard, John went on to work on complex display systems and microprocessor designs. After that he worked as an independent digital design consultant at ITT Research Labs. In the late 1970's he was headhunted by Intel where he worked for many years. He left Intel to start his own company in Spain where amongst other things he designed major testers for manufacturing lines producing electronics used by tier-1 automotive companies. In 1990 we sailed our boat from Poole harbour to El Puerto de Santa Maria near Cadiz to start our new life in Spain and where we still live – but that is another story ! - Lorraine Bronny 2024

Cet épisode nous tient à coeur dans Vethologie car il traite de l'évaluation du bien-être des chevaux montés. C'est le thème du mémoire que Laure a présenté pour valider son examen du CEAV (certificat d'études approfondies vétérinaires) en éthologie clinique et appliquée au bien-être animal. C'est aussi un sujet sur lequel Mathilde et Laure vont continuer de travailler dans les prochaines années. En quelques mots, nous allons vous présenter ce qu'est le "bien-être d'un animal" au sens scientifique du terme et comment l'équitation peut avoir un impact sur cet état. Nous allons aussi tenter de présenter les outils à notre disposition pour l'évaluer. Vous allez voir, y a du boulot ! Bibliographie : Dalla Costa, E., Murray, L., Dai, F., Canali, E., & Minero, M.

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
Brenda Mullard has been a licensed art teacher for students in grades K - adult for over 20 years. She has just recently earned her certification as an Integrated Arts Specialist and been given the title of a distinguished educator. She believes that all children should be able to have the arts as part of their life. Kids need to be able to play and experiment with creating and making using different art mediums and materials. Through this experimentation, children develop creative problem-solving techniques that will benefit them throughout their entire life. Because so many art programs are being cut in schools all over the world it is important to her to be able to bring kids art education online in the comfort of their own home and at a time that works for them as well as their families. Take a look at what she has to offer online. https://thevisualartacademy.com/ (https://thevisualartacademy.com/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JrArtAcademy https://www.facebook.com/thevisualartacademy/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/lessonsinart/ Show Sponsor The National Association for Primary Education speaks for young children and all who live and work with them.

This edition of the programme in 1992 came together out of the blue. I suddenly got a tape from Taiwan from David Monson, a presenter on BRT Brussels who I knew in the 1990's. He was now in Taiwan and offered me a story about who is behind the Sangean shortwave radio company. The result in the second half of this show. (Sadly we learned that David Monson passed away in 2010). We discuss the international distribution of the Lowe HF150, DAK Industries new shortwave DM3000 is difficult to get hold of. Marcel Rommerts has news about Radio Galaxy from Moscow. Victor Goonetilleke has been hearing a strong station from Myanmar on 5973 kHz, aimed at the internal security forces. There's a new book called The Setmakers about the history of British radio receivers from the BREMA association. This includes the story about how Philips took over the Mullard valve company.
A suitably epic edition of the show this week as we celebrate the world of thespians who have attempted to moonlight as singers, with varying degrees of success. Marvel at septuagenarian Mae West rocking out, Telly Savalas’ invention of new … Continue reading →
