This week we head to fifteenth-century Norwich to meet two of the most extraordinary women in medieval England: Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich. Manuscripts are one of the most tangible sources of evidence we have about the distant past and our guest this week, Mary Wellesley, has dedicated her professional life to studying them and persuading them to give up their secrets. In her spellbinding book, Hidden Hands: the Lives of Manuscripts and their Makers, she reveals traces left by the people who made these vital artefacts. As she explains, manuscripts are ‘the only connection we have with these people in the past who would otherwise remain completely anonymous and unknown.' In this episode Mary takes us to the early fifteenth century, a period of unease in religion when reformist ideas were circulating and the Church reacted violently against anything that appeared to challenge its orthodoxy. Mary Wellesley is a research affiliate at the British Library and Medieval Language and Literature course tutor for the library's adult learning programme. She's a regular contributor to the London Review of Books and the TLS, amongst others. Hidden Hands is her first book.

Gesprek met Gerda Valkenborgh over het door haar vertaalde werk van Julian of Norwich "Als de liefde alles wordt". Het boek is uitgegeven bij uitgeverij Halewijn in Antwerpen i.s.m. Berne Media in Heeswijk onder redactie van het Titus Brandsma Instituut in Nijmegen. Info Titus Brandsma Instituut: https://www.titusbrandsmainstituut.nl/nl/nieuwe-vertaling-van-visioen-julian-of-norwich-als-de-liefde-alles-wordt/ Info Halewijn https://www.halewijn.info/catalogus/als_de_liefde_alles_wordt_julian_of_norwich Info Berne Media:https://www.berneboek.com/9789085285151/valkenborgh-gerda/als-de-liefde-alles-wordt/ Dr. Gerda Valkenborgh (1944) is gepensioneerd arts. Al dertig jaar lang is zij door Julian of Norwich geboeid en probeert zij haar geschriften steeds dieper te doorgronden. Twee mystieke teksten die rond het jaar 1400 in Norwich tot stand kwamen, wekken vandaag fascinatie en bewondering. Over de auteur weten we enkel dat ze een vrouw was die de laatste decennia van haar leven de kluis bij de kerk van Saint-Julian bewoonde. Traditiegetrouw heet zij vanaf dan 'Julian of Norwich'. Beide mystieke geschriften verwoorden één en dezelfde geest- verruimende ervaring, die haar tijdens een korte, ernstige ziekte overkomt. Zij ziet en begrijpt de liefde van God voor iedere mens. De oudste versie, de Short Text, is een kort relaas die reeds gekopieerd werd voordat Julian zich in eenzaamheid terugtrok. Later, in de kluis, schreef en herschreef zij de Long Text, als het product van een voortdurend stil overwegen van al wat haar destijds getoond is. Dit boek bevat voor het eerst de vertaling vanuit het Middel- engels naar het Nederlands van de korte versie. Een eerdere vertaling van de lange versie werd grondig herwerkt.
Does the length of your Instagram post captions affect your performance? Let’s find out, on today’s Social Media Lab.
This week, we cover Julian of Norwich's "Revelations of Divine Love" (the "Short Text" version). The audio quality on this episode is, uh, not awesome, but the content, we felt, was good enough to warrant us afflicting you with background noise and lags in conversation.

Modern messaging technology has facilitated a trend towards highly compact, short messages send by users who can presume a great amount of context held between the communicating parties. The rules of grammar may be discarded and often visible errors are a normal part of the conversation. >>> Good mornink >>> morning Yet such short messages are also important for businesses whose users are unlikely to read a large block of text upon completing an order. Similarly, a business might want to offer assistance and effective question and answering solutions in an automated and ideally multi-lingual way. In this episode, we discuss techniques for designing solutions like that.
that Blind Tech Show Special: Seeing AI Developers Anirudh and Saqib Talk App Infancy and Money Recognition on the way! With the huge response from the Blindness community the Seeing AI app available in the App Store has spread like wild fire and people are excited about the possibilities coming from the Microsoft Accessibility teams. Bryan Fischler, host of the That Blind Tech Show and Jeff Thompson from Blind Abilities have a conversation with Anirudh Koul and Saqib Shaikh, two developers from the Microsoft Accessibility team working on the Seeing AI app. You will hear about the Hackathon where the seed was planted and how the team uses the users feedback to determine the changes and improvements that have been coming fast and steady. The Seeing AI app is a project and uses artificial intelligence is some of the featured channels. Short Text channel is like taking a glance at your mail. The built in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) picks up the text through the camera and begins reading instantly. The Document Channel does more traditional OCR work and has audio indicators to help assist centering the page content. The Product Channel has an audible signal to assist in location the bar code and the signal speeds up when closing in on the bar code with the iPhone’s camera. The picture is taken automatically and the database is searched and the data is read to the user. Instructions as well as ingredients are also read if available. The Person Channel allows the user to take pictures of individuals and tag them as the facial recognition feature will know and say that person’s name when using the camera and glancing around the area. This is where AI comes in. The Seeing AI app will also describe the person and guess the age. The Scene Beta Channel is a feature that will describe the photo taken such as a bench in a park, or a person walking a dog. Photos can be taken, or imported from the camera roll to have the app describe the image. They say this app in in it’s infancy and there is a lot more to come. One feature coming to the Seeing AI app that was disclosed is a Money Identifier. Yes, this is a Swiss Army Knife of an App. You can follow the Microsoft Accessibility team on Twitter @MSFTEnable The Seeing AI appis only available from the App Store. Thank you for listening!

Unlocking the Powers of SeeingAI and Exploring the Preview Channels We’ve done some coverage on the Swiss Army Knife of Apps, SeeingAI and brushed up a bit here and there. We look at the Product Channel and hear from listeners about reading bar codes. We walk through the 3D Touch shortcut setup, hear an attempt of making music with the Light Detection channel and sort out a currency matter in no time at all. We test out the Hand Writing Channel and the results are shockingly impressive. The Color Preview is interesting and actually, all the Preview Channels are Betas so we encourage all of you to send feedback to the Microsoft Team via the link in the settings called Feedback. With all the channels and choices this one app brings to the iPhone, the SeeingAI app has moved many of icons off the front page and some off the iPhone completely. However, most feel that SeeingAI does a good job and the Short Text channel rocks, SeeingAI has a ways to go before the robust apps will be asked to leave town. Join Jeff Thompson from the blind Abilities Team and some friends as they talk SeeingAi and bounce around the channels. You can get the SeeingAI app from the app store.

All things shall be well,You shall see for yourself that, All manner of things shall be well" In this recording of our weekly programme we have interview recorded in 2010 about the mystic Julian of Norwich. Julian is thought of as one of the most important English mystics. She is venerated in the Anglican and Lutheran churches, but has never been canonized, or officially beatified, by the Catholic Church, probably because so little is known of her life aside from her writings, including the exact date of her death. It is determined that she was born in 1342 in Norwich, Norfolk, England, and she was last known to be alive in 1416 when she was 73 years old. Her birth name is uncertain; the name "Julian" comes from the Church of St Julian in Norwich, where she was an anchoress. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus Christ. They ended by the time she recovered from her illness on 13 May 1373. Julian wrote down a narration of the visions immediately following them, which is known as The Short Text. Twenty to thirty years later she wrote a theological exploration of the meaning of the visions, known as The Long Text. These visions are the source of her major work, called Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love (circa 1393). This is believed to be the first book written in the English language by a woman. Julian became well known throughout England as a spiritual authority.
