JONAH THE DOG IN THE BOAT by BRIDIE STRINGERBroadcast: Tuesday 7th May 2024, 3:30pm About the Writer: Following careers in telecommunications and NHS management, I undertook academic postgraduate studies in pastoral theology and was awarded a doctorate in 2010. I then became a university lecturer in reflective practice courses for those working in chaplaincies, and also for candidates in formation programmes for the ordained ministry of permanent deacon. I have actively participated in parish, deanery and diocesan pastoral councils over many years and been a catechist for children, young people and adults. I find creative writing helpful in pastoral ministry as it frees people to engage imaginatively with faith rather than burdening them with doctrine and orthodoxy which they might find difficult to engage with. Finally, I am a wife, mother of two loving daughters and grandmother of two amazing grandsons. In short, I am a good example of St John Henry Newman's saying: ‘To live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.' Perfection still eludes me!  Readers: JONATHAN COOTE, KENNETH MICHAELS, NADIA OSTACCHINI About the Readers: JONATHAN COOTEAn actor for many years on stage, screen and radio, Jonathan's favourite roles have included Cyrano in Cyrano de Bergerac, Bosola in The Duchess of Malfi and Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Special Special Event Station will be on the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, along the riverside in Greenwich. From the 10th of May onwards, the callsign will be available for individuals and clubs to use until the end of June 2023, and further details about this will be announced shortly. Ofcom has also kindly agreed to a block of 676 Special Special Event Station callsigns for the RSGB's Be a Connect activity for the Coronation. These are GB23BAA to BZZ, which will be available throughout May and June. More details on how to obtain one of these will be given next week, but meanwhile, you may wish to find a beacon site you could activate one or more times for this event.

Solar flare activity was quite subdued after a frantic period from the 13th to the 15th that saw 40 C-class flares and two M-class flares erupt. This activity was mostly centred around active region 3282 in the northwest quadrant. Geomagnetic conditions were unsettled for a time around the 18th and 19th with the Kp index hitting a maximum of 4.3. This appears to have been due to enhanced activity from a coronal mass ejection and continuing coronal hole activity that saw the solar wind speed hit more than 600km/s and the Bz swing south. The critical frequency was down below 7MHz on the morning of Wednesday the 19th, which impacted near-vertical incidence skywave signals around the UK. This impacted maximum useable frequencies, which struggled to exceed 21MHz over a 3,000km path on Wednesday, although by Thursday they were back over 28MHz again. A critical frequency of more than 10MHz meant the 40m band was once again suitable for close-in contacts around the UK. There were many reports of DX being worked later on during the week, with Australia and New Zealand topping the bill on 18MHz and 28MHz. Next week NOAA has put a more positive spin on sunspot activity. The Solar Flux Index is predicted to be in the range of 168 to 172 for the first half of the week, falling to around 160 in the second half. But we could be in for a bumpy ride geomagnetically, with the Kp index predicted to hit five on Wednesday the 26th of April through to Monday the 1st of May. This may be due to the return of solar phenomena that occurred 27 days ago and saw the Kp index get up to 4.67. Meanwhile, a very large solar coronal hole, albeit positioned very south on the Sun's surface, and a much smaller one on its equator, threaten HF conditions this weekend. Keep an eye on the real-time solar wind from the ACE spacecraft for signs of a rise in speed and a southward-pointing Bz interplanetary magnetic field on solarham.net.  This could push to Kp index higher, perhaps to four.   And now the VHF and up propagation news The Sporadic-E season is nearly upon us. Remember it will usually activate on 28MHz and then higher bands will follow if the event intensifies. There have been some 50MHz FT8 paths flagged up on DXmaps.com, although some may have been tropo. The recent large high pressure centred over Scandinavia has been a bit subdued as regards Tropo. Much of the time, the air nearer the surface has been fairly dry with little sign of banks of sea fog over the North Sea, which would suggest better ducting potential.   We are now entering a phase with low pressure on the charts, initially over the south of Britain, but edging north for a time before drifting out across the North Sea.  This could produce some rain scatter on the GHz bands, especially should any heavy April showers develop. Early next week a ridge will edge south across the UK in a colder northerly weather pattern, so although high-pressure returns, it may not be especially good for tropo. The third changeover comes after midweek when a milder south-westerly returns with active fronts bringing rain and unsettled weather, especially to the north and west. This could mean further opportunities for rain scatter on the GHz bands and perhaps a hint of tropo in the Southeast towards the continent. Aurora and meteor scatter are well worth considering, and the Lyrids shower peaks on Sunday the 23rd. The message is to monitor meteor scatter frequencies and the clusters for signs of activity and, of course, try putting out a CQ call! Moon declination is positive and rising, meaning increasing Moon time and increasing peak elevation until peak declination on Tuesday. Moon apogee is next Friday so path losses increase all week. 144MHz sky noise is moderate to low. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

This month we talk to Dr Rachel Delman about her Royal Studies Journal prize winning article and her wider work on royal women and architectural patronage.Almost two hundred years before Inigo Jones completed the Queen's House for Henrietta Maria at Greenwich, another French-born queen consort of England had established the first queenly household there. In 1447, Margaret of Anjou acquired the riverside residence of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, on what is now the site of the Old Royal Naval College. Over the next five years, the Queen commissioned a substantial programme of building works at the site, which transformed the existing manor house into a royal palace. Margaret's reputation and exercise of power have been widely discussed, yet little consideration has been given to her building activities, and their broader implications for our understanding of her gender role as consort. Through its examination of the location, layout, and design of Margaret's palace, this article sheds new light on the ways in which the Queen deployed the built environment to articulate her power and status. More broadly, it contributes to scholarship on royal women's patronage and curation of domestic space, and that concerning the role of queens as agents of cultural transfer. 

Over the past year, the connections between our built environment and our health have been made clearer than ever before. In this episode we will be examining the changing way that societies through history have addressed these problems by building institutions that provide different forms of healthcare. Our contributors discussed what lessons we can learn from the history of architecture and health, considering the connections between the built environment and the treatment of different illnesses, maladies and afflictions. Ed DeVane, a PhD student in the Centre for the History of Medicine at the University of Warwick, who researches the planning, design, construction of NHS facilities in postwar Britain, and is also a fellow in the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology. Ann-Marie Akehurst, an independent Architectural Historian and Programmes Officer of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain, who works on Early Modern Architectural History, particularly the development of hospitals and the institutions of healthcare. Will Palin is the Chief Executive of Barts Heritage, a charity concerned with restoring the historic St Bart's Hospital, London, previously serving as the Conservation Director at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich and Director of SAVE Britain's Heritage. Sarah Akigbogun is an architect, photographer and film-maker whose historical research has examined The Retreat in York, an institution for the treatment of mental health needs founded in the 18th century, and whose work addresses race, gender and problems of representation in architecture.

Концертный релиз "British Blues Explosion Live" состоит из классических песен Эрика Клэптона, Джеффа Бека и Джимми Пейджа. Эта программа исполнялась в коротком, но очень тепло принятом туре по Великобритании - всего на пяти концертах. Запись для релиза была сделана в "The Old Royal Naval College" в лондонском районе Гринвич 7 июля 2016 года. Британский блюз является главным источником вдохновения для Джо. Он с детских лет влюблен в тяжелый, хрустящий и ершистый саунд, родившийся в Британии в середине 60-х. Это особенно справедливо в отношении инновационной и вызывающей отклик игры на гитаре трех главных тяжеловесов жанра - Клэптона, Бека и Пейджа. В данной программе он отдает дань уважения этим гитаристам, впервые исполняя их классические номера.

The number of international students studying in the United States is at a record high, with almost one-third coming from China, which ranks first in the academic year. According to a report released by the Institute of International Education in the U.S., a record number of almost 890,000 international students went to the U.S. in the 2013-2014 academic year, to pursue studies in various academic courses. That's an increase of 8 percent over the previous year. Topping the list is China, which has more than 270,000 students studying in the U.S., an increase of almost 17 percent over the previous year. China accounted for 31 percent of the total number of international students. China is followed distantly by India, with around 100,000 students, an increase of 6 percent over the previous year, reversing a three-year trend of declining numbers of Indian students at the U.S. universities. In the previous year, international students contributed some 27 billion dollars to the U.S. economy. According to the report, the U.S. hosts more of the world's 4.5 million globally mobile college and university students than any other country in the world, almost doubling the figure hosted by Britain, the second leading host country. This is NEWS Plus Special English. Britain's Old Royal Naval College has unveiled the country's first major exhibition on the life of Yan Fu, a renowned Chinese thinker, educator and translator who served as a cultural bridge between China and Britain more than 100 years ago. Yan was born in 1854 and was one of the first ever Chinese students to study in Britain. At the age of 23, he was sent to the then Royal Naval College in London to study naval expertise and went on to become one of the most influential intellectuals in modern China. The exhibition is called "Yan Fu and Chinese Imperial Students at the Royal Naval College", and it showcases a myriad of historical documents, books, artifacts and photographs, seeking to portray the life and times of this extraordinary thinker and his fellow Chinese students. After finishing his studies, Yan returned to China as an accomplished "enlightenment thinker", translating and introducing to China the "Evolution and Ethics", "The Wealth of Nations" and "The Spirit of the Laws", among many other works. Through his writings and translations, Yan presented the people of China with insights into Europe's natural, social, and political sciences as well as theories of economics and philosophy, which were much needed in China at the dawn of its turbulent journey to modernity. He is still highly regarded in China today for his pioneering role in Chinese modern history. The exhibition runs until February 1 next year. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Chinese archaeologists have discovered another important site of human activity dating back 300-to-500,000 years, roughly contemporary with the Peking Man. Dozens of stone, animal bone and horn tools have been found at a limestone quarry site in a hill in the coastal city of Dalian in northeast China. Researchers have obtained more than 1,000 important samples since the joint excavation began in August by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Dalian Natural History Museum. Stone tools and large herbivorous animal bones that appear to have been cut or smashed by humans show the site was an important site for early human activity. Scientists explain that deer and antelope horn tools were also used at caves in Beijing's suburbs, where the skulls of Peking Man, or Homo erectus, were found in the 1920s and 1930s. Peking Man was first believed to have lived there around 500,000 years ago. But some Chinese scientists later said they were actually 200,000 years older, probably from a mild glacial period. The new discovery is likely to be the earliest cultural ruins in northeast China, making it important for the study of human evolution and the origin of culture in the region.

U.S. researchers say they've identified "weak spots" on the surface of the deadly Ebola virus that are targeted by the antibodies in ZMapp, the experimental drug cocktail administered to several patients during the recent Ebola outbreak. The study provided a 3-D picture of how the ZMapp antibodies bind to the virus. Using an imaging technique called electron microscopy, the new study found that two of the ZMapp antibodies bind near the base of virus, appearing to prevent the virus from entering cells. A third antibody binds near the top of the virus, possibly acting as a beacon to call the body's immune system to the site of infection. ZMapp, developed by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical, was used in August to treat several patients diagnosed positive with the Ebola virus. Five of the seven patients who received ZMapp survived and the treatment is expected to go into clinical trials early next year.
