Puzzlers and previous guests Nicholas J Johnson and Lawrence Leung return to play and discuss Leonard Boyd and David Brashaw's 2015 board game Clacks, based on Terry Pratchett's 33rd Discworld novel, Going Postal. Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has come up with a plan to prove the Ankh-Morpork postal service is still relevant - a race against the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company! The Grand Trunk has a monopoly on the “Clacks”, a system of optical telegraph towers which transmit messages using patterns formed by a grid of six lights - surely they can beat a man on a horse? But the Grand Trunk knows Moist has something up his sleeve, and they're taking no chances - the fastest and best new Clacks operators will have to prove they're worthy of the job by racing each other first... The fifth (and so far final) Discworld board game, Clacks is the second Discworld design by Boyd and Brashaw's BackSpindle games (following Guards! Guards!). Clacks turns the race at the climax of Going Postal into a logic puzzle where up to four players must use punch cards to turn patterns of lights on and off in a grid, hoping to form another pattern which equates to a letter in Clacks code. It's a race to finish your word (or words) first, either against each other, or as a team against Moist von Lipwig - but sharing the same grid of lights makes this puzzle very unpredictable. Is it Discworldy enough? Does it feel like the Clacks technology of the books? Do you find it fun or funny, and do you prefer it collaborative or cooperative? And what else would you play to get your logic puzzle fix? Join the discussion using the hashtag #Pratchat82.

Step into a hidden vault where the secrets of professional magicians are kept under lock and key. Your guide, magician Nicholas J Johnson, reveals the mysteries of the WG Alma Conjuring Collection, exploring why we're so captivated by illusions—even when we know it's all a trick.Also, we explore how Patrick White's suburban satire A Cheery Soul resonates in 2024, and what would the music of rule-breakers such as Cleopatra, Frida Kahlo and Cathy Freeman sound like?

Unfortunately some scheduling issues pushed back our recording of #Pratchat80, and unfortunately we aren't going to be able to bring you that discussion of Making Money until until October. But it has been a very long time since we talked about Going Postal, so Ben thought you might like a recap to tide you over - plus a discussion of some of his favourite Discworld book covers, prompted by subscriber Ian! We'd love to hear about your favourite covers, from any of the various editions of Pratchett's works! Let us know about them using the hashtag #Pratchat79A on social media, or get in touch via email or our subscriber Discord. You can find various covers of the Discworld books via the L-Space wiki, or via the Internet Speculative Fiction Database at isfdb.org. For the isfdb, make sure you choose “Fiction Titles” below the search box when searching for a specific book, then scroll down to the bottom of the list of editions and click the link which says “View all covers for [Book Title]”. Note that not all the covers Ben mentions are at those two sources; we've linked to other sources below where necessary. Ben mentions these favourite covers: The original cover for The Colour of Magic by Alan Smith Pratchett's own original cover for The Carpet People (the image isn't as small as Ben remembered) The new Penguin paperback designs by Leo Nickolls, incorporating Paul Kidby's artwork, especially Moving Pictures. (The link is to the L-Space page Ben put together for these editions, which also gives you handy links to all the books in the wiki.) Paul Kidby's covers for the first UK editions, in particular Night Watch, Going Postal and The Science of Discworld, plus the back cover of the original hardcover edition of The Last Hero Josh Kirby's covers for Eric (the original large format edition), Small Gods, and especially Reaper Man The cover for the graphic novel adaptation of Small Gods by Ray Friesen The Penguin 25th Anniversary edition of Hogfather, with art by BoomArtwork The American hardcover edition of Raising Steam, with art by Justin Gerard The Mai Més Catalan editions with covers by Marina Vidal, especially Equal Rites and The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents We discussed Going Postal way back in 2020, in #Pratchat38, “Moisten to Steal”, with guests Nicholas J Johnson and Lawrence Leung. We'll be back in October with #Pratchat80 discussing Making Money with guest Stephanie Convery.

From Australia, Tim Ellis and Nicholas J. Johnson “bust” some of the commonly held beliefs of most magicians. Many of you know Tim Ellis as the FISM Award Winning magician who works cruise ships and lectures around the world. But in this episode we also introduce you to Nicholas J. Johnson who is a well-known and respected author, a magician, an expert in scams and cons and hosts a podcast called “Scamapalooza.” In this episode, Tim, Nicholas and Scott chat about ten things that many magicians believe to be true. But are they in based on fact and in practicality?1 – Kids are the most honest audience 2 – The classics are classics for a reason 3 – It's more important to be entertaining than original 4 – A good magician doesn't need a lot of props 5 – Be yourself 6 – Always dress one step better than your audience 7 – Learn a couple of tricks well 8 – Perform at every opportunity 9 – It's fun to be fooled/People don't want to know how it's done 10 – When approaching guests, don't tell them you're a magician If you would like to view our conversation, then please watch this YouTube video.

Hail and Farewell to those in our Magic Community who left us this past year. Although the list below is not exhaustive, it does reflect the names of many well-known (and some lesser known) magicians, spouses and assistants who passed on in 2022. Some may not be as well-known to you, but they were my personal friends (hey, it is my blog!). If you are unfamiliar with any of these names, then it would behoove you to do a little online search of what these people have contributed to our craft. If you have someone you think was overlooked, then please post the name in the comments below on this blog.Those whose names are highlighted were featured or interviewed here on The Magic Word Podcast. Some are full episodes while others are brief conversations at conventions. Check the Timestamps to go to the chat with some of these individuals. You can click on their name to revisit and listen to their voices again.

El International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) es el organismo internacional que evalúa la ciencia disponible y emite recomendaciones sobre la resucitación de pacientes en paro cardiaco. Los integrantes de ILCOR representan los diferentes concilios de resucitación en el mundo. Los concilios emiten sus propias guías, basadas en las recomendaciones de ILCOR. La revisión anual de la ciencia no es una revisión de todos los temas, sino solamente de aquellas preguntas clínicas que necesitan revisión y/o hay alguna evidencia nueva que justifique un cambio en la recomendación, o simplemente un cambio en el nivel de la recomendación. A veces un tema se vuelve a verificar cuando es prudente incluir los resultados de algún estudio importante reciente. Los estudios no tienen que sugerir un cambio para ser importantes. Usted puede (y debe) leer el documento completo aquí. El documento completo explica el análisis detrás de las recomendaciones y los estudios que fueron considerados en la discusión. Dependiendo de los hallazgos, los diferentes concilios (ej. la American Heart Association) pueden entonces emitir actualizaciones a sus respectivas guías de acuerdo con las recomendaciones de ILCOR. Tratamiento en escena versus RCP durante transporte Sugerimos que los proveedores realicen la resucitación en la escena en vez de realizar el transporte mientras se resucita, a menos que haya una indicación apropiada para justificar el transporte (ej. oxigenación a través de membrana extracorpórea). (Recomendación débil, evidencia de muy baja certeza). Aumento en riesgo de lesiones para los rescatadores. Ahogamiento Las ventilaciones son importantes. Público general: comiencen con compresiones. Profesionales de la salud: comiencen con ventilaciones. Comenzar con las compresiones primero NO supone un retraso significativo. Temperatura pos-paro cardiaco Sugerimos activamente prevenir la fiebre mediante establecer una meta de temperatura igual o menor a 37.5 grados centígrados para pacientes comatosos luego del retorno de circulación espontánea. (Recomendación débil, baja certeza de evidencia) Se sugiere estandarizar la nomenclatura para evitar usar un término que esté vinculado directamente con un protocolo en específico (TTM/MET): Control de temperatura con hipotermia: control activo de temperatura con una meta de temperatura por debajo del parámetro normal. Control de temperatura con normotermia: control activo de temperatura con una meta de temperatura en el rango normal. Control de temperatura con prevención de fiebre: monitoreo de la temperatura y activamente prevenir y tratar la temperatura que esté por encima del rango normal. Ningún control de temperatura: ninguna estrategia de control activo de la temperatura. Sonografía durante el paro cardiaco Sugerimos en contra del uso rutinario de sonografía (POCUS) durante la RCP para diagnosticar causas reversibles del paro cardiaco (recomendación débil, nivel de evidencia muy bajo). Sugerimos que, si la sonografía puede ser realizada por personal experimentado sin interrumpir la RCP, pueda ser considerada como una herramienta diagnóstica adicional cuando hay sospecha clínica presente para una causa reversible (recomendación débil, nivel de evidencia muy bajo). Cualquier uso de sonografía diagnóstica durante RCP debe ser cuidadosamente considerada y sopesada ante el riesgo de interrumpir las compresiones torácicas y malinterpretar los hallazgos sonográficos (declaración de mejores prácticas). En un estudio del 2017, el uso de sonografía durante el paro cardiaco estaba asociado a interrupciones de 21 segundos en promedio. DEA en los niños e infantes. No significa que no se usen. Hay pocos estudios que documentan que un DEA se haya colocado y/o descargado en niños. Los diferentes concilios pueden tomar decisiones sobre sus respectivas guías. Posición de recuperación Colocar al paciente en posición de recuperación. La posición de recuperación no debe afectar la habilidad de verificar la vía aérea, respiración y circulación. Si se dificulta evaluar al paciente, es mejor colocarlo en posición supina.

Writers, comedians, magicians and con-men experts Nicholas J Johnson and Lawrence Leung join us as we meet the distressingly named Moist von Lipwig in his 2004 debut, the 33rd Discworld novel, Going Postal! Con-man Moist von Lipwig (aka Albert Spangler) thinks he's come to the end of the line when he's hanged by order of Lord Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. But while the world believes him hanged, the city's tyrant has actually saved him for something bigger: he wants Moist to revitalise the city's derelict post office. It seems like a hopeless task with no chance of success or escape, what with the mountains of mail, unsatisfactory staff, golem parole officer, and the communications monopoly of the Grand Trunk Sempahore Company, run by the piratical Reacher Gilt. But every con-man needs a challenge... Pratchett's first Moist book is a great in to the Discworld at large, with a gripping self-contained story of new technology vs old, capitalism vs the public good, and one man's lifetime of criminal habits vs his better nature. As well as Moist himself, it introduces such memorable characters as Mr Pump, Stanley the pin collector, and the one and only Adorabelle Dearheart. (Everyone in this book has an amazing name.) It's not a short book, and we struggle to cover all its themes, twists and turns. Do you love Moist von Lipwig? Could you get over his name? Could you operate a Clacks tower? And just how deep did Vetinari's plan go, anyway? Join the discussion using the hashtag #Pratchat38. Guest Nicholas J Johnson is an author, magician and expert in scams and swindles, earning himself the nickname "Australia's Honest Con-Man". His new children's book, the "autobiographical" Tricky Nick, features magic and time travel and all sorts, and is available now from Pan Macmillan. Find out more about Nick's live performances and workshops at conman.com.au, or follow him on Twitter at @countlustig. Guest Lawrence Leung is a comedian, screenwriter and actor, known to Australian audiences from his roles in Offspring and Top of the Lake, and his own shows including Lawrence Leung's Choose-Your-Own-Adventure and Maximum Choppage, and the feature film Sucker. Find out all the latest about Lawrence, including when you can catch his live-streamed comedy shows, at lawrenceleung.com, or you can follow him on Twitter at @Lawrence_Leung. The full show notes and errata for this episode will be added to our web site later in the month. Our plan to cover Sir Terry's short fiction was via live shows, but since that hasn't worked out for us this year, in January we're going to discuss 1998's short witches story, The Sea and Little Fishes. We'll also be welcoming our first international guest: Marc Burrows, author of the Pratchett biography The Magic of Terry Pratchett! Send us your questions via social media using the hashtag #Pratchat39.

Author Will Kostakis returns to face time travel, unexploded bombs and a tangle of timelines in the final Johnny Maxwell book, 1996's Johnny and the Bomb! When Johnny and his misfit friends look after homeless eccentric Mrs Tachyon's shopping trolley, they soon discover she has a complicated relationship with time. Johnny, Yo-less, Wobbler, Bigmac and Kirsty travel back to World War II, on the eve of the "Blackbury Blitz". Johnny knows bombs are meant to destroy Paradise Street - but can he and his friends do anything about it? Do they even have the right? And how will they get back ho- hang on. Where's Wobbler? Pratchett's first book focussing on time travel also touches on the worries of teenagers, local history, racism, sexism and the nature of fate and destiny. It might seem weighty for a children's book, but children think about this stuff all the time! Did you follow all the time travel shenanigans? How do you think Pratchett's handling of these issues compares to modern middle grade fiction - or even his own previous Johnny books? And if you could go back in time, would you try and change things for the better? Join the discussion using the hashtag #Pratchat37. Returning guest Will Kostakis is a writer and award-winning author. Since we last saw him in #Pratchat18, "Sundog Gazillionaire", he's published his first fantasy YA novel, Monuments, and its sequel, Rebel Gods. His new novella, The Greatest Hit, is out now from Lothian Children's Books as part of the Australia Reads initiative. Find out more about Will at willkostakis.com, or follow him on Twitter at @willkostakis. You can find the full show notes and errata for this episode on our web site. As mentioned at the end of this episode, the fiction anthology Collisions from Liminal Magazine is out now, featuring Liz's story "The Voyeur"! Order it from your local bookshop. And we also announced that the Australian Discworld Convention in Sydney has had to be postponed from 2021 to 2022. Find out more at ausdwcon.org. Next month we see out the year with a favourite, as we time travel about ten Discworld books ahead to meet Moist von Lipwig in Going Postal! We've invited two experts on con artistry to discuss it with us: writer and magician Nicholas J Johnson, and comedian and actor Lawrence Leung! Get your questions in via social media using the hashtag #Pratchat38.
