I ran into today's guests at the Hoof Care Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio, where whenever possible they have attended every year as they find continuing education extremely important in their practice. I had first met Connor at this very convention many years before where he introduced me to his father Lance. Those of you who are avid listeners of the podcast will be familiar with Lance's episode from several years back. Unfortunately, we lost Lance just over a year ago, very suddenly and as you will hear, Connor was left with a very large and successful business that he had helped his father to build up over the years. Connor's wife, Ashley joined in to help and now they are a husband and wife team carrying the torch of EquiTerra Ferrier services. For some context, you will hear me mention a horse park and the horse park we're talking about is the infamous Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alberta, where Connor and his father Lance, had been the horse show farriers for many years. While Connor and Ashley have decided to focus their efforts more on their private practice and are no longer working for the horse show, you will hear how their unique experience of working there for so many years has really shaped their practice. They have seen some of the best jumper shoeing from all over the world and sometimes not the best, and they got to see that shoeing in practice at one of the most prestigious horse shows in the world. As with many of the incredible guests I've been fortunate enough to have on the podcast, Ashley Connor and I have become quite good friends. I always look forward to running into them at the various farrier events that bring us from across the country to the same locale. They are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and always yearning for more knowledge. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Most of us don't know most things. Yet most of us also think we understand a lot (OK, not quantum mechanics or Federal Reserve policy). We are all living with what Sloman and Fernbach argue is an Illusionof how much we know: a knowledge illusion. And this is fueling the fracturing of society.

At 17, Michael "ILLiptical" Sloman began performing Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry at Albany High School's Inkblot poetry slams. Throughout his 20s and early-30s, he was a mainstay in the Capital Region Slam Community, performing with the first-ever Nitty Gritty Slam team at the National Poetry Slam in Charlotte, North Carolina, along with Elizag, D Colin, and Algorhythm. Now at the age of 38, and living in Yonkers, NY, Michael focuses mostly on filmmaking under the moniker of Kulture Seed Films, writing and directing movies, as well as teaching high school students to tap into their own creativity. Sloman says, "When inspired by wisdom, nature, or the happenstances of life, a poem shall be written, and it's only a matter of time before the Poet spits again." ILLiptical performed his poem "Vegan Knowledge" at the Getting Down to the Brass Tacks spoken word event on March 29, 2018, at The Low Beat. In our conversation, we talk about where that poem came from, the power of poetry, transitioning to screenwriting, and more.
Episode 131 Stephen SlomanOn October 13, 2022, gunfire erupted in Baltimore, MD. When the shooting stopped, 56 year old Stephen Sloman was dead, killed in a hail of bullets. Stephen, a father of three, and a military veteran was down on his luck after a divorce. His career in the IT field had suffered, and he was battling addiction. Stephen was also depressed about the recent death of his mother who he was living with. There was a lot going on in Stephen's life, but not all of his last movements and actions can be accounted for as he had become estranged from family. Why Stephen was in the city that night, who murdered him, and why all are unanswered questions to this point. There was no evidence of robbery. Police have been unable to locate any witnesses willing to give any information about what unfolded. Stephen's family is not confident that his murder will be solved, especially given Baltimore has been overrun with violent crimes, most of it gun related. Stephen's sister Debra discusses his tragic case in this episode, and talks about the uphill battle in seeing the case solved and her brother's killer brought to justice.Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 410-396-2100.Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUPTo support this podcast with a donation, you can do so via Patreon at:https://www.patreon.com/TheMurderInMyFamilyor through Paypal at:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/AbJackEntertainmentTo contact the podcast or learn more about the case we discuss, please visit:TheMurderInMyFamily.comFollow us on social media;Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/pg/The-Murder-in-My-Family-True-Crime-Podcast-998674943627334/reviews/Twitter-@MurderinMyFam

Hoewel onzekerheid inherent is aan wetenschap, zijn er talloze onderwerpen waarover wetenschappelijke consensus bestaat. Denk maar aan de invloed van de mens op klimaatverandering of het bestaan van evolutie. Toch zijn er mensen die er - zeer stellig - meningen op na houden die tegen deze wetenschappelijke consensus in gaan. Heeft dit te maken met een gebrek aan kennis? En zo ja, waar komt die stelligheid dan vandaan? Aan de hand van recent psychologisch onderzoek proberen we deze vragen te beantwoorden.Meer over change blindness vind je in Hoofdstuk 9 van het boek Drang naar Samenhang: De Psychologie van het Begrijpen.

Unfortunately, the farrier community has lost one of the good ones with the passing of Lance Sloman. Lance was from Alberta, Canada, and he was the onsite farrier for the legendary Spruce Meadows Horse Show. I had the opportunity and the honour to be able to sit down and have a conversation with Lance back at the Hoof Summit in 2019. We are re-releasing that episode in honour of Lance today. I'm sure the kindness of this man will shine through in the recording. There isn't a single person I have met, that has met him, that doesn't have a story of something kind or helpful that he did for them. He was truly one of the good ones. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his family. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

This week its time for another obscure or lesser known film - and we thought we would change the pace a little and instead of going for a completely random or even awful movie like we have in the past, we felt that this lesser known gem of a movie would be ideal viewing. The hilarious and cringeworthy Nuts In May (1976) first screened on the BBC in the 70's as a part of their play for the day series and follows anally retentive control freak Keith Pratt (Sloman) and his timid wife Candice-Marie (Steadman) as they take a relaxing camping holiday in Dorset. But soon Keith's sanity is put to teh test by his fellow campers.One of the early films from British filmmaker Mike Leigh, director of Secrets and Lies, Happy Go Lucky and Vera Drake, this has always stood out as a favourite in our household.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Uriah Heep. es una banda de rock británica con tintes progresivos, formada en Londres en 1969, la cual es considerada como "uno de los grupos más populares de principios de los 70. La banda lanzó varios álbumes muy exitosos comercialmente a principios de los años 1970, como Demons & Wizards (1972), The Magician's Birthday (1972), o Uriah Heep Live (1973), pero su audiencia declinó en los 80, al punto de convertirse esencialmente en un grupo de culto, en los Estados Unidos y en Europa, principalmente. Uriah Heep fue la primera banda de occidente en tocar en la Rusia soviética, bajo la política de Gorbachov, llamada glásnost. Han vendido 40 millones de copias en todo el mundo. Constantes cambios en la banda han dejado al guitarrista Mick Box como único miembro original y líder. Uriah Heep , Surgió a finales de los años sesenta, de las raíces de Spice, banda en la que militaban el mítico vocalista David Byron, y el guitarrista Mick Box, primeros fundadores del grupo. Uriah Heep se convirtió en una verdadera banda pionera del género "Hard rock", aunque destacó por la heterogeneidad de su música, a caballo entre el Hard rock, el estilo progresivo y la épica, en dos de sus álbumes más conocidos: los ya mencionados Demons & Wizards y The Magician's Birthday, a la postre influencias claras para bandas como Helloween y otras seguidoras del rock épico. Se caracterizó, entre otras cosas, por sus constantes cambios de alineación, en la cual el único miembro permanente ha sido el guitarrista Mick Box. En el año 1970, cambiaron su nombre de Spice a Uriah Heep, influenciados por un peculiar personaje de una de las más universales obras de Charles Dickens: David Copperfield. Fue en ese año cuando entraría a formar parte de la banda Ken Hensley, proveniente de la banda psicodélica The Gods, quien se convertiría con el paso del tiempo en verdadera alma, y compositor principal de casi todas las canciones del grupo en su época dorada. Hensley se ocuparía de los teclados, y en ocasiones de la slide guitar. También puso la voz a uno de los mayores éxitos por aquel entonces, "Lady in black". Box, Byron y Hensley se convertirían en los pilares fundamentales de la banda, asistiendo a constantes cambios en el bajo y batería, hasta que en el año 1972 ingresan Gary Thain (bajo) y Lee Kerslake (batería). Hasta entonces habían publicado tres álbumes: Very 'eavy, Very 'humble, en 1970, que supuso un magnífico debut, pero que la crítica defenestró con el argumento de que era una copia descarada de Deep Purple, algo incierto que se podía explicar porque en aquellos tiempos los dos conjuntos llegaron a compartir salas de ensayo, y se dejaron influenciar por el sonido predominante de los teclados de Jon Lord. En poco menos de un año, se resarcieron ante crítica y público con la publicación de Salisbury (1971) y Look at Yourself (1971), disco este último en el que encontraron su sonido característico, como afirmarían más tarde. Las ventas comenzaron a dispararse tanto en su país de origen como en el extranjero, encontrando en países como Alemania, Países Bajos o Japón sus más fieles seguidores. Entonces llegó 1972, con las nuevas y, a la postre, definitivas incorporaciones que enriquecieron el sonido de la banda. La publicación de Demons & Wizards en 1972 les llevó a lo más alto, un disco redondo que bien podría haber sido un trabajo conceptual, ya que sus temas giraban casi en su totalidad en torno a temas alegóricos y llenos de fantasía épica. En este álbum está incluido su mayor hit, "Easy Livin'". Este trabajo encontró la continuidad perfecta en The Magician's Birthday, que salió a la venta a los pocos meses de publicarse el anterior, y que les proveyó de fama definitiva en todo el mundo. El sonido de este último es más progresivo y sigue la temática de álbum conceptual, que comenzó el anterior. La portada de Roger Dean, artista en alza que ya trabajaba con bandas como Yes, contribuyó a realzar, desde el arte gráfico, el trabajo impecable de la grabación. Durante 1973 grabaron el disco Sweet Freedom que supuso otro trabajo redondo, y del cual se desprenden varios clásicos de la banda que se escuchan hasta nuestros días. Ya en 1974, luego de la gira de la cual lanzaron el disco en vivo Uriah Heep Live 1973, grabaron Wonderworld, donde comienzan a alejarse gradualmente del sonido progresivo, apostando por un hard rock más simple y directo. Justamente este disco representaría el último que grabaran con el extinto bajista neozelandés Gary Thain, puesto que sería despedido a principios de 1975, para ser reemplazado por el exbajista y cantante de King Crimson, John Wetton. Ya con Wetton en la banda, lanzan en 1975 Return to Fantasy, un disco donde también hay clásicos, aunque se comienza a notar una baja en el rendimiento general de la banda. En diciembre de 1975, el bajista Gary Thain muere de sobredosis por heroína. En 1976 graban High & Mighty, que sin dudas representa el mayor fracaso de la banda en los 70, debido a las tensiones internas y a que prescindieron de Gerry Bron, su productor habitual, para producirlo ellos mismos. Si bien es sabido que la crítica no suele reconocer en este un buen trabajo, tiene algunos temas destacables, como el clásico "One Way or Another" (que cantase John Wetton), o la balada "Weep in Silence". En medio de la gira de presentación del disco, David Byron fue despedido, a partir de este momento Byron se dedicó a su carrera como solista, hasta su fallecimiento, acaecido en 1985. La banda a mediados de los años 1970, con John Wetton Tras la salida de Byron, Uriah Heep, experimentó diferentes cambios en sus formaciones y en su estilo musical. Más allá, de su Rock progresivo, bien conocido y de su aporte a lo que se llamaría el Hard rock y heavy metal, poco después de la salida de Byron, el grupo modifica su estética y su música, dejando entrever un cambio de rumbo hacia un sonido más comercial, al estilo del AOR con toques de Música disco. Es así como, a finales de 1976, los reemplazos de John Wetton y David Byron, se conforman con la entrada de un bajista procedente de la banda de David Bowie, y el cantante de Lucifer's Friend; ellos eran Trevor Bolder (el bajista que más tiempo estuvo activo en la banda) y John Lawton. Los fanes tardaron en aceptar dicha formación y estilo, de cariz algo comercial, aunque la calidad de sus composiciones los hace ser bien recordados por todos. Los discos Firefly, Innocent Victim y Fallen Angel constituyen la cadena de tres grabaciones de estudio con Lawton y Bolder, más el disco en vivo Live in Europe 1979. Sin embargo, los egos personales de Lawton y Hensley chocaban demasiado, y se opta por despedir a Lawton, dejando otra vez, para 1980, a la banda sin cantante. Es allí cuando los Heep se vieron en la necesidad de conseguir reemplazante, tanto de vocalista como de batería, ya que por diferencias con la producción, el baterista Lee Kerslake había dejado el grupo, marchando a tocar para Ozzy Osbourne. Para 1980 llegan los reemplazos, con John Sloman ex-Lone Star a los vocales y Chris Slade, ex-Manfred Mann's Earth Band a la batería. Esta formación solo grabaría un disco, Conquest (1980), que no sería muy bien recibido por la crítica especializada, pero que sirvió al menos para actualizar el sonido de la banda, y mantenerla viva. Varios de los temas de este disco, fueron probados y grabados con el anterior cantante, John Lawton, entre los cuales se puede destacar "Feelings", "Fools" o "Been Hurt", que también formarían parte de un disco que no fue editado en su momento, luego lanzado como un disco pirata, titulado Ten Miles High. Las diferencias musicales entre la banda y Ken Hensley se acentúan, y este último deja el grupo a mitad de la gira, por lo que los Heep, sin su compositor principal, deben continuar y reclutan para esto -temporalmente- a un viejo conocido de Sloman, Gregg Dechert. Con él graban el sencillo "Think It Over / My Joanna Needs Tunning". A finales de año, Sloman, Slade, Dechert y Bolder (que se iría a tocar en Wishbone Ash) dejan a Mick Box solo, dando así por terminada la primera etapa de Uriah Heep. Durante 1981, Box ofreció algunos conciertos como solista, pero las cartas de diferentes fanes alrededor del mundo, expresando cuan importante era para sus vidas Uriah Heep, le dan a Box la energía necesaria para recomenzar con aquella banda mítica. Es así como recluta al prestigioso bajista (ex-Rainbow) Bob Daisley, y juntos deciden ir a visitar al primer cantante de la banda, David Byron, para ofrecerle nuevamente ese puesto, el cual este rechaza. Aun así, contratan al cantante del grupo Trapeze, Peter Goalby y junto con ellos, vuelve Lee Kerslake e ingresa el tecladista John Sinclair El primer trabajo con esta formación sería Abominog (1982), un disco redondo donde prácticamente todos los temas son clásicos (más una reversión del tema "Think It Over"), y sirven para colocar a Heep con un nuevo sonido, más duro, y cercano a la NWOBHM, no obstante el marcado regusto comercial de ciertos temas. Con este disco y formación, Uriah Heep vuelve a recobrar algo de fama: el siguiente álbum, Head First, seguiría por esa senda con temas muy bien logrados como "Red Lights", "Stay on Top" o "Lonely Nights" que es un cover de Bryan Adams. Para 1985, Bob Daisley decide abandonar la banda amistosamente, y vuelve el bajista Trevor Bolder, para grabar el último disco de la "era Goalby", Equator, que sería sin dudas, para todos los fanes, uno de los discos más flojos de la historia de Uriah Heep (incluso más flojo que High & Mighty y Conquest), se podría rescatar la canción que abre el disco, llamada "Rockarama", como único corte destacado. A fin de año, el agotamiento en la voz de Peter Goalby hace que los Heep pierdan al cantante, y al tecladista al mismo tiempo, una vez más. Luego de convocar al teclista Phil Lanzon, en 1986 deciden probar con el cantante Steff Fontaine, pero a pesar de su buena voz, su actitud hace que sea despedido. De este modo, llega el que hasta el día de hoy es el cantante que más ha durado en la banda: Bernie Shaw, quien procedía del grupo NWOBHM Praying Mantis. Con el primer disco de estudio con Shaw, Raging Silence (1989) tendrían cierto éxito, sobre todo con el viejo clásico de la banda Argent "Hold Your Head Up", y con un tema escrito por Peter Goalby, "Blood Red Roses". Cabe destacar que, hacia fines de los 80, Uriah Heep se convertiría en la primera banda de rock occidental en aprovechar la política conocida como glásnost, en la aún vigente Unión Soviética: gracias a un conocido productor húngaro, lograron dar el primer recital tras la Cortina de Hierro; en Moscú llenaron el Estadio Olímpico Luzhnikí varias noches, el total de gente que presenció los shows ascendió a 180.000 personas. Luego de estos logros, ya en la era del CD, en los 90 y en los 2000, las ediciones de nuevos álbumes de estudio se fueron tornando cada vez más espaciadas (Different World (1991), Sea of Light (1995), Sonic Origami (1998), Wake the Sleeper (2008), Into the Wild (2011), etc, pero la banda se mantiene constantemente en giras por Europa, y tienen mucho éxito, quizás no el de su época dorada, pero sí mucho más del que tenían en los años 80. En el año 2002 es editado un CD en vivo: The Magician's Birthday Party, grabado con Ken Hensley y John Lawton, quienes se reunieron momentáneamente con Heep para la ocasión, mientras que en el 2006, por problemas de salud, abandona la banda el veterano baterista Lee Kerslake, dando paso a otro ex-Ozzy para ocupar la batería, en este caso Rusell Gilbrook. En el mismo año, el grupo rumano de rock "Iris" edita un disco para rememorar sus 25 años de existencia e incluyen una colaboración con Mick Box y Bernie Shaw, con la canción "Lady in Black" cantando de forma bilingüe (rumano y inglés). Del mismo modo en 2011 se publican Into the Wild, y el directo Live in Armenia, este último en formato doble CD/DVD. Por su parte, en el año 2013 se conoce la triste noticia del fallecimiento del bajista Trevor Bolder, y en 2014 es lanzado el 23º álbum de estudio del grupo, titulado Outsider. Bolder sería reemplazado por Davey Rimmer en mayo de 2013, con quien editarían un nuevo álbum de estudio en 2018, Living the Dream. Uriah Heep mantiene una cantidad significativa de seguidores en Alemania, los Países Bajos, Escandinavia, los Balcanes, Japón, Rusia y en Europa del Este en general, donde aún tocan en estadios. No obstante, y aunque en la actualidad siguen gozando de buena reputación, sus grandes obras aparecen en la década de los setenta, más específicamente en la primera mitad de la década, durante aquellos años su nombre figuró casi a la par junto a los de Black Sabbath, Deep Purple o Led Zeppelin, formando el cuarteto de máximos referentes del Rock duro británico.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de Biblioteca Del Metal - (Recopilation).

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Uriah Heep. es una banda de rock británica con tintes progresivos, formada en Londres en 1969, la cual es considerada como "uno de los grupos más populares de principios de los 70. La banda lanzó varios álbumes muy exitosos comercialmente a principios de los años 1970, como Demons & Wizards (1972), The Magician's Birthday (1972), o Uriah Heep Live (1973), pero su audiencia declinó en los 80, al punto de convertirse esencialmente en un grupo de culto, en los Estados Unidos y en Europa, principalmente. Uriah Heep fue la primera banda de occidente en tocar en la Rusia soviética, bajo la política de Gorbachov, llamada glásnost. Han vendido 40 millones de copias en todo el mundo. Constantes cambios en la banda han dejado al guitarrista Mick Box como único miembro original y líder. Uriah Heep , Surgió a finales de los años sesenta, de las raíces de Spice, banda en la que militaban el mítico vocalista David Byron, y el guitarrista Mick Box, primeros fundadores del grupo. Uriah Heep se convirtió en una verdadera banda pionera del género "Hard rock", aunque destacó por la heterogeneidad de su música, a caballo entre el Hard rock, el estilo progresivo y la épica, en dos de sus álbumes más conocidos: los ya mencionados Demons & Wizards y The Magician's Birthday, a la postre influencias claras para bandas como Helloween y otras seguidoras del rock épico. Se caracterizó, entre otras cosas, por sus constantes cambios de alineación, en la cual el único miembro permanente ha sido el guitarrista Mick Box. En el año 1970, cambiaron su nombre de Spice a Uriah Heep, influenciados por un peculiar personaje de una de las más universales obras de Charles Dickens: David Copperfield. Fue en ese año cuando entraría a formar parte de la banda Ken Hensley, proveniente de la banda psicodélica The Gods, quien se convertiría con el paso del tiempo en verdadera alma, y compositor principal de casi todas las canciones del grupo en su época dorada. Hensley se ocuparía de los teclados, y en ocasiones de la slide guitar. También puso la voz a uno de los mayores éxitos por aquel entonces, "Lady in black". Box, Byron y Hensley se convertirían en los pilares fundamentales de la banda, asistiendo a constantes cambios en el bajo y batería, hasta que en el año 1972 ingresan Gary Thain (bajo) y Lee Kerslake (batería). Hasta entonces habían publicado tres álbumes: Very 'eavy, Very 'humble, en 1970, que supuso un magnífico debut, pero que la crítica defenestró con el argumento de que era una copia descarada de Deep Purple, algo incierto que se podía explicar porque en aquellos tiempos los dos conjuntos llegaron a compartir salas de ensayo, y se dejaron influenciar por el sonido predominante de los teclados de Jon Lord. En poco menos de un año, se resarcieron ante crítica y público con la publicación de Salisbury (1971) y Look at Yourself (1971), disco este último en el que encontraron su sonido característico, como afirmarían más tarde. Las ventas comenzaron a dispararse tanto en su país de origen como en el extranjero, encontrando en países como Alemania, Países Bajos o Japón sus más fieles seguidores. Entonces llegó 1972, con las nuevas y, a la postre, definitivas incorporaciones que enriquecieron el sonido de la banda. La publicación de Demons & Wizards en 1972 les llevó a lo más alto, un disco redondo que bien podría haber sido un trabajo conceptual, ya que sus temas giraban casi en su totalidad en torno a temas alegóricos y llenos de fantasía épica. En este álbum está incluido su mayor hit, "Easy Livin'". Este trabajo encontró la continuidad perfecta en The Magician's Birthday, que salió a la venta a los pocos meses de publicarse el anterior, y que les proveyó de fama definitiva en todo el mundo. El sonido de este último es más progresivo y sigue la temática de álbum conceptual, que comenzó el anterior. La portada de Roger Dean, artista en alza que ya trabajaba con bandas como Yes, contribuyó a realzar, desde el arte gráfico, el trabajo impecable de la grabación. Durante 1973 grabaron el disco Sweet Freedom que supuso otro trabajo redondo, y del cual se desprenden varios clásicos de la banda que se escuchan hasta nuestros días. Ya en 1974, luego de la gira de la cual lanzaron el disco en vivo Uriah Heep Live 1973, grabaron Wonderworld, donde comienzan a alejarse gradualmente del sonido progresivo, apostando por un hard rock más simple y directo. Justamente este disco representaría el último que grabaran con el extinto bajista neozelandés Gary Thain, puesto que sería despedido a principios de 1975, para ser reemplazado por el exbajista y cantante de King Crimson, John Wetton. Ya con Wetton en la banda, lanzan en 1975 Return to Fantasy, un disco donde también hay clásicos, aunque se comienza a notar una baja en el rendimiento general de la banda. En diciembre de 1975, el bajista Gary Thain muere de sobredosis por heroína. En 1976 graban High & Mighty, que sin dudas representa el mayor fracaso de la banda en los 70, debido a las tensiones internas y a que prescindieron de Gerry Bron, su productor habitual, para producirlo ellos mismos. Si bien es sabido que la crítica no suele reconocer en este un buen trabajo, tiene algunos temas destacables, como el clásico "One Way or Another" (que cantase John Wetton), o la balada "Weep in Silence". En medio de la gira de presentación del disco, David Byron fue despedido, a partir de este momento Byron se dedicó a su carrera como solista, hasta su fallecimiento, acaecido en 1985. La banda a mediados de los años 1970, con John Wetton Tras la salida de Byron, Uriah Heep, experimentó diferentes cambios en sus formaciones y en su estilo musical. Más allá, de su Rock progresivo, bien conocido y de su aporte a lo que se llamaría el Hard rock y heavy metal, poco después de la salida de Byron, el grupo modifica su estética y su música, dejando entrever un cambio de rumbo hacia un sonido más comercial, al estilo del AOR con toques de Música disco. Es así como, a finales de 1976, los reemplazos de John Wetton y David Byron, se conforman con la entrada de un bajista procedente de la banda de David Bowie, y el cantante de Lucifer's Friend; ellos eran Trevor Bolder (el bajista que más tiempo estuvo activo en la banda) y John Lawton. Los fanes tardaron en aceptar dicha formación y estilo, de cariz algo comercial, aunque la calidad de sus composiciones los hace ser bien recordados por todos. Los discos Firefly, Innocent Victim y Fallen Angel constituyen la cadena de tres grabaciones de estudio con Lawton y Bolder, más el disco en vivo Live in Europe 1979. Sin embargo, los egos personales de Lawton y Hensley chocaban demasiado, y se opta por despedir a Lawton, dejando otra vez, para 1980, a la banda sin cantante. Es allí cuando los Heep se vieron en la necesidad de conseguir reemplazante, tanto de vocalista como de batería, ya que por diferencias con la producción, el baterista Lee Kerslake había dejado el grupo, marchando a tocar para Ozzy Osbourne. Para 1980 llegan los reemplazos, con John Sloman ex-Lone Star a los vocales y Chris Slade, ex-Manfred Mann's Earth Band a la batería. Esta formación solo grabaría un disco, Conquest (1980), que no sería muy bien recibido por la crítica especializada, pero que sirvió al menos para actualizar el sonido de la banda, y mantenerla viva. Varios de los temas de este disco, fueron probados y grabados con el anterior cantante, John Lawton, entre los cuales se puede destacar "Feelings", "Fools" o "Been Hurt", que también formarían parte de un disco que no fue editado en su momento, luego lanzado como un disco pirata, titulado Ten Miles High. Las diferencias musicales entre la banda y Ken Hensley se acentúan, y este último deja el grupo a mitad de la gira, por lo que los Heep, sin su compositor principal, deben continuar y reclutan para esto -temporalmente- a un viejo conocido de Sloman, Gregg Dechert. Con él graban el sencillo "Think It Over / My Joanna Needs Tunning". A finales de año, Sloman, Slade, Dechert y Bolder (que se iría a tocar en Wishbone Ash) dejan a Mick Box solo, dando así por terminada la primera etapa de Uriah Heep. Durante 1981, Box ofreció algunos conciertos como solista, pero las cartas de diferentes fanes alrededor del mundo, expresando cuan importante era para sus vidas Uriah Heep, le dan a Box la energía necesaria para recomenzar con aquella banda mítica. Es así como recluta al prestigioso bajista (ex-Rainbow) Bob Daisley, y juntos deciden ir a visitar al primer cantante de la banda, David Byron, para ofrecerle nuevamente ese puesto, el cual este rechaza. Aun así, contratan al cantante del grupo Trapeze, Peter Goalby y junto con ellos, vuelve Lee Kerslake e ingresa el tecladista John Sinclair El primer trabajo con esta formación sería Abominog (1982), un disco redondo donde prácticamente todos los temas son clásicos (más una reversión del tema "Think It Over"), y sirven para colocar a Heep con un nuevo sonido, más duro, y cercano a la NWOBHM, no obstante el marcado regusto comercial de ciertos temas.

Para 1985, Bob Daisley decide abandonar la banda amistosamente, y vuelve el bajista Trevor Bolder, para grabar el último disco de la "era Goalby", Equator, que sería sin dudas, para todos los fanes, uno de los discos más flojos de la historia de Uriah Heep (incluso más flojo que High & Mighty y Conquest), se podría rescatar la canción que abre el disco, llamada "Rockarama", como único corte destacado.

The many questions about how we reach net-zero In a special edition, Leon Daniels swaps notes with Sara Sloman, who hosts sister-ITT Hub podcast Talking Net Zero. In a wide-ranging, engaging and lively chat we discover Sara's ‘all-time gripe' about ‘all-things-green and sustainable', but they start by talking about a bottle of wine, before moving onto the controversial residents' parking scheme in Bristol. Designed to encourage people out of their cars, rather than driving to within a mile of the city centre and then parking on residential streets the scheme's introduction was the source of much angst. This question gives rise to the topic of forcing people to change their travel behaviour. It seems that whatever you do in transport, it's often just ‘shunting the problem', reckons Sara: “It's coastal erosion with cars!” Local politics come into play and the challenge that metro-mayors face of four-year terms – and having to rely on a second term, and being at the mercy of shifts of change in public opinion – means that four years is not long enough to do anything in the transport sector, we discover. Leon recalls advice he gave to London Mayor Boris Johnson, and asks if mayors are ready to make really tough decisions within the first few weeks of taking office. This leads to a discussion about the ‘short term of everything', the need for consistency and why ‘engineers are biting their nails' when announcements are made. Are we too hung up on on-street charging and is the on-street charging issue overblown, Leon asks Sara, before they chat about micro-mobility and why people on eScooters are happy. “You never see a jogger smiling,” observes Leon, while Sara explains the importance of how travel makes you feel. “Does it put a smile on your face?” She explains the enjoyment of a journey, how underrated bus travel is for the ‘pleasure of the journey' and why sustainable travel ‘gives you your life back'. Is the solution for certain occasional travel car clubs? Sara and Leon swap tales about their car club experiences which include an egg, rubber gloves and an underground car park….
This week on the Bonus Dopey show! We were lucky enough to have New York City legend and raconteur - Larry ‘Ratso’ Sloman to actually show up at Dave’s father’s opulent apartment to kibbitz. Ratso talks all about his illustrious rise to prominence starting out writing for Rolling Stone Magazine joining Bob Dylan on the infamous Rolling Thunder tour, and then becoming the editor in chief for National Lampoon, and High Times before reinventing himself as one of the most sought after ghostwriters around. He co-wrote Scar Tissue with Anthony Kiedis, and Private Parts and Miss America with Howard Stern, among others. Sit back and enjoy two old school New Yorkers doing what they do best on this week’s bonus episode Dopey!
Stu Levitan welcomes a special guest for a special topic on this day after Bob Dylan's 79th birthday. We're joined by The Rev. L. J. Sloman of the Last Exit Before the Freeway Church of God, as seen on WMTV's The Weekend Starts now with Ben Sidran, a/k/a UW graduate student Larry Sloman, a/k/a Ratso, to talk about a book, and album and a movie. The book is On the Road with Bob Dylan, his epic account of Dylan's 1975 tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue. The critically acclaimed album is Stubborn Heart, from which that brief snippet of Dylan's Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands was borrowed, and which includes 8 Ratso originals. The movie is Martin Scorcese's fascinating and fanciful Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story,” in which he has a featured role – as he did in Dylan's own movie about that tour, Reynaldo & Clara. As to Bob Dylan, he is, without question, the greatest singer-songwriter since Homer. And his live performances on that 1975 tour were among his most intense and electrifying in a 60-year career of intense and electrifying performances. As to Larry Sloman, he has had a career path I both envy and appreciate. A native New Yorker, he made phi beta kappa and graduated magna cum laude from Queens College in 1969, with a degree in sociology. To avoid the draft, he joined Volunteers in Service To America, the domestic peace corps, and was assigned to Milwaukee, where he worked with Father James Groppi's welfare mothers, and sometimes their daughters. After a year in VISTA, he accepted a fellowship from the National Institute for Mental Health and came to Madison for his Master's in Deviance and Criminology, which, as he notes has informed his work ever since. But more importantly, while here he also became music editor of the Daily Cardinal. Which helped him sell a story to Rolling Stone, after which he wrote for it some more, and then broke big news with a preview of Dylan's Blood on the Tracks album. From there, he got the Rolling Stone gig to cover the Rolling Thunder Revue– at least for a while -- and then wrote the book which Bob Dylan himself calls “the War and Peace of rock and roll.” Then five years as Editor-in-Chief of High Times magazine, six as Executive Editor of National Lampoon, and a literary career that now includes Steal This Dream: Abbie Hoffman and the Countercultural Revolution in America, Reefer Madness: The History of Marijuana in America, The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of : America's First Superhero, and Thin Ice: A Season In Hell With the New York Rangers. And best-selling collaborations with radio personality Howard Stern, boxer Mike Tyson, magician David Blaine, Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, and Peter Criss of Kiss. Various side projects, including producing the award-winning music video of Dylan's song Jokerman. And now he's a recording artist, as well. As I said, envy and appreciate. It is a great pleasure to welcome to Madison BookBeat the legendary Larry Ratso Sloman.

You'll Learn How to improve your chances of converting opportunities into client work without being pushy The common mistakes that people make when it comes to selling so you can avoid them What the preparation stage before a meeting to discuss opportunities with a client or prospective client should consist of What you should do during and at the end of these meetings to increase your chances of converting the opportunity into paid workHow best to follow up an opportunity with a client after you've quoted, without being pushy How to politely ask a client if they are still interested in a potential service, and how you can use Martyn's ‘ultimatum' email as a last resort IntroductionIf you work in a role where you provide tax services and advice, at some point you will be faced with the requirement to win client work. Or, if I were to use the dreaded word, ‘selling' services to clients. As tax professionals, this is not something we are taught how to do. It's one of those things we are expected to ‘pick up' on the job. But it is absolutely paramount that you are able to win client work if you want to make it to Senior Manager or above, generally speaking. In some firms, you may even need to do this at more junior roles. So, if you want to progress your career to these levels, you will need to develop and work on the skill of winning client work. That's why I thought it would be great to invite this episode's guest, Martyn Sloman, onto the podcast. Martyn is known as the “non-pushy” sales trainer – which instantly caught my attention, as I've been worried about coming across as pushy in the past, and maybe you have too. All of Martyn's advice is provided to help you be “non-pushy” too, but be “professionally persistent”. In the episode, Martyn provides some great tips to improve your chances of winning client work. So, if this is something you are looking to get better at, I highly recommend you take a listen! Show notes: thetaxprofessionalspodcast.com/TTPP11Subscribe: thetaxprofessionalspodcast.com/subscribe

If you missed the first installment of the Inside JABA Series, let me explain what’s going on here: Once a quarter, I’ll be joined by Drs. Linda Leblanc, Clair St. Peter, and Jeff Tiger to discuss the latest issue of The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. The goal is to highlight a paper or theme from the issue, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what went into that piece of research, how it may or may not have changed during the review process, and what the practical implications that work has for the everyday practitioner. What's the big idea? If you’re a craft beer nerd like me, think of this kind of like when a brewery does a tap-takeover at your favorite pub. In today’s episode, we discuss the Winter 2020 issue of JABA. We start with Linda LeBlanc describing her call for “big idea” papers to be written and submitted to JABA. What is a big idea paper? You’re going to have to listen to find out. In this episode, we are also joined by Dr. Danielle LaFrance, who, along with Jonathan Tarbox, just so happened to publish one of these big idea papers in the Winter issue. We discuss this paper, which is titled, The importance of multiple exemplar instruction in the establishment of novel verbal behavior. And in addition to this, we each share an influential “big idea” that shaped us as Behavior Analysts. As with the previous Inside JABA podcast, there are no commercials in this show. However, the content of this episode does meet the standards for continuing education, and half of the proceeds of the Inside JABA Series shows goes directly to the Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior.

One in a series of talks from the 2019 Models of Consciousness conference. Aaron Sloman School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK Most recent discussions of consciousness focus on a tiny subset of loosely characterized examples of human consciousness, ignoring evolutionary origins and transitions, the diversity of human and non-human phenomena, the variety of functions of consciousness, including consciousness of: possibilities for change, constraints on those possibilities, and implications of the possibilities and constraints -- together enabling extraordinary spatial competences in many species (e.g. portia spiders, squirrels, crows, apes) and, in humans, mathematical consciousness of spatial possibilities/impossibilities/necessities, discussed by Immanuel Kant (1781). (James Gibson missed important details.) These are products of evolution's repeated discovery and use, in evolved construction-kits, of increasingly complex types of mathematical structure with constrained possibilities, used to specify new species with increasingly complex needs and behaviours, using lower-level impossibilities (constraints) to support higher level possibilities and necessities, employing new biological mechanisms that require more sophisticated information-based control. Such transitions produce new layers of control requirements: including acquisition and use of nutrients and other resources, reproductive processes, physical and informational development in individual organisms, and recognition and use of possibilities for action and their consequences by individuals, using layered mixtures of possibilities and constraints in the environment, over varying spatial and temporal scales (e.g. sand-castles to cranes and cathedrals). I'll try to show how all this relates to aspects of mathematical consciousness noticed by Kant, essential for creative science and engineering as well as everyday actions, and also involved in spatial cognition used in ancient mathematical discoveries. In contrast, mechanisms using statistical evidence to derive probabilities cannot explain these achievements, and modern logic (unavailable to ancient mathematicians, and non-human species) lacks powerful heuristic features of spatial mathematical reasoning. New models of computation may be required, e.g. sub-neural chemistry-based computation with its mixture of discreteness and continuity (see recent work by Seth Grant).

To call Larry “Ratso” Sloman a writer is not at all inaccurate - he is a writer. But he’s so much more. Sloman perfected the art of hanging out and he turned that art into a career. Here he talks about how studying sociology influenced his thinking and gave him a way to be inside the revolution and outside at the same time. Allen Ginsberg, The Fugs, Abbie Hoffman, Al Goldstein (Screw Magazine), Kinky Friedman, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Cale, Rolling Stone Magazine, Howard Stern, Anthony Kiedis, High Times Magazine… they all make prominent appearances in our conversation. On fashion: “Not to boast but I always had a good sense of unique fashion. I mean I was wearing rabbinical coats way before Gaultier was doing them.” On writing: “It’s like building a house. You have to have a great foundation. Have a great beginning and great ending. You can get away with a lot of sh$t in the middle.” On celebrity: “They don’t want someone to put them on a pedestal.” Visit www.third-story.com or go to www.patreon.com/thirdstorypodcast.

Drs. Sloman and Fernbach discuss their book THE KNOWLEDGE ILLUSION: WHY WE NEVER THINK ALONE
Today's Guest: Larry Ratso Sloman, author or co-author of celebrity memoirs from Howard Stern, Abbie Hoffman, Anthony Kiedis, Phil Esposito, Mike Tyson, and a biography of Harry Houdini Order by clicking the DVD cover above! Larry 'Ratso' Sloman, co-author of Howard Stern's 'Private Parts' Writing the biography of a well-known person in pop culture is an assignment fraught with trap doors, two-way mirrors, and shackles. Some writers even disdain their subjects. Others hopelessly suck up to the person, if living, in hopes of winning their favor. Journalists working the genre, however, are usually after something more. They took on the life of an individual because they believe -- through professional research and interviews -- that they can add more color or depth to what’s known about the figure’s public and private lives. Today’s Mr. Media guest, Larry “Ratso” Sloman, has trod the path of biography and ghostwritten autobiographies a number of times in his career. He wrote Steal This Dream about the life of 1960s dissident Abbie Hoffman. He helped Howard Stern pen his life story in two memorable books, Private Parts and Miss America. When Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers needed someone to help tell his story, Kiedis turned to Sloman. The book many people remember Sloman best for, however, may well be his chronicle of Bob Dylan’s remarkable 1975 Rolling Thunder Review concert tour, On the Road with Bob Dylan. That is also where he earned his unusual nickname, which I’m told he wears with pride like a badge of courage. Sloman’s latest book, written with William Kalush is The Secret Life of Houdini, the Making of America’s First Superhero. Larry "Ratso" Sloman Website • Twitter • Wikipedia • IMDB • Order Horward Stern's Private Parts from Amazon.com BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Houdini is a fast read, thanks to the focus on storytelling and the wealth of incredible detail that you and your partner uncovered about the magician and the man. Can you tell us a little bit about how the book came about and the style in which it’s written? LARRY "RATSO" SLOMAN: I first got interested in magic when I co-authored or ghostwrote -- David Blaine’s memoir, Mysterious Stranger. It was a hybrid book. That book was part reminiscence about his various stunts and being encased in ice and being buried underground. It was also part teaching you how to do some magical effects, and it was also a kind of history of magic. For the history part, David said, “You have to go work with Kalush, because he produced all my shows, and he’s got the most amazing magic library in the world.” So we spent a lot of time at Kalush’s library, the Conjuring Arts Research Center. We did all this research, and we did a chapter on Houdini in the David Blaine book. That was my first exposure to reading about Houdini. I read all the extant biographies of Houdini at the time, and I remember sitting around with Kalush and saying, “You know, it’s really strange. I mean, there are all these gaps in Houdini’s story, and he makes strange career choices. I think there’s more to this than meets the eye.” And Kalush says, “I agree.” And the more we looked into it, the more we said, “It’s time to take a fresh look at Houdini,” and that’s the genesis of The Secret Life of Houdini. ANDELMAN: What about the storytelling? What I really like about the book is that every page is almost a separate anecdote in some ways in that you’re always storytelling. It’s not so much analysis, which some people expect in biography, but it’s storytelling, which is what I expect, and I really like that. Order 'Undisputed Truth' by Mike Tyson with Larry Ratso Sloman, available from Amazon.com in print or as an ebook by clicking on the book cover above! SLOMAN: It’s funny the way we wrote this book. In a way, we almost wanted to do a celebrity biography of Houdini akin to the ones I had written with Howard Stern and people like that. We wanted it to be accessible; we wanted it to be anecdote driven. There was a professor at NYU, Silverman, who had done an exhaustive biography, which kind of laid out a lot of the facts, and yet it really didn’t. The story wasn’t driven by these anecdotes, and to us, that seemed the best way to capture Houdini. He’s such an incredibly complex guy. ANDELMAN: You did a tremendous amount of research in terms of organizing stuff that was arcane and seemingly unconnected. SLOMAN: Thanks to what we lovingly called, “Ask Alexander.” It was based on Alexander the Mentalist, and what we did was create a huge, huge database. We scanned in every known Houdini book, all the magic magazines that Kalush had in his collection, all the letters, and all the scrapbooks, and made them text searchable. The book could have taken 25 years to write if we weren’t able to really have that instant access. This research project was over two years. So at the beginning of research, you may come across a name. A year and a half later, you may come across that name again and say, “Wow, I think this guy has something to do with…” Well, we just put the name into the database, and boom, in five seconds, we had every hit on that name. It was a tremendous expedient. I think it’s really the first Houdini biography of the digital age, and we were able to collate all this incredibly diverse material. ANDELMAN: Now, a lot of writers -- and Doris Kerns Goodwin comes to mind -- have been in trouble the last couple years with issues of plagiarism. I’m not saying that you did this, but my question is, when you scan in material like that, how do you avoid that? I mean, Doris’ comment was, “It was inadvertent that I used material from another source,” but when you go to this digital type of system and you scan in all this stuff, it would seem like the situation is ripe for that kind of abuse SLOMAN: Our book is full of citations. We very liberally use Houdini’s own writings. We use letters that he had written. I don’t think the problem so much is plagiarizing anything, because the analysis that we did was almost separate from the writing process. We overlaid the analysis onto the writing, and the analysis was basically between me and Kalush, who was the magic expert. So if there was a question of how Houdini did something and we wanted to reveal that, and a lot of times we didn’t reveal that, obviously. But there were times where we did reveal some of his methods, and that was overlaid after the main narrative had been written already. ANDELMAN: Will the way that you used technology to research this biography affect the way you do it in the future? SLOMAN: Absolutely. I mean, I think there’s no other way to do it. It’s so overwhelming to have that amount of material, but when you have it in a way that’s manageable and that literally you can do searches in microseconds … All the major newspapers now have their entire archives in databases. We were able to find out a lot about John Wilkie, who was the head of the Secret Service and whom nobody really knew anything about. We were able to find out his connections to the world of magic through an article in the Washington Post in 1908, because of this new technology. It is certainly an incredible boon. I’m sure we would never have been able to find those articles if not for that. ANDELMAN: I think one of the most controversial revelations in the book is Houdini as a spy. SLOMAN: It’s funny. It was controversial at first. The magic world is very insular, so a lot of these guys were saying, “We don’t know about this, so therefore it can’t be true.” But when you get a guy like the former head of the CIA, John McLaughlin, who reads the book and says, “Yeah, I’ll write an introduction to your book,” and says in the introduction, “This is absolutely plausible to me.” So I don’t think you could have anybody better vouching for your theory than the former head of the CIA. ANDELMAN: Absolutely. Well, it’s a great read, and I hope it’s doing well, and I hope more people will read it. Order by clicking the book cover above! SLOMAN: Well, it’s doing well, and in fact, the latest wave of unbelievable press and attention has been the whole exhumation thing, and that was based on our research. It was one of these serendipitous things. Two years ago, I attended the annual Houdini séance that Sid Radner, a Houdini scholar and collector, puts on every year. That year, it was in Las Vegas, because he was also auctioning off a lot of Houdini material. At the séance, there was the great-granddaughter of Margery, the world’s most famous medium at the time, who was Houdini’s adversary in the last years of his life. I approached her. It turns out she lives in Long Island not too far from where I have a weekend place, so I said, “Could I come and interview you?” figuring that there may be some great family anecdotes about Margery and Houdini, and she said, “Sure.” And I go to visit her and her husband, and they make me a nice dinner, and we have a great interview, and at the end of the interview, I said, “You wouldn’t happen to have like some letters or any kind of documents laying around?” She said, “Oh yeah, come on.” And she takes me into a spare bedroom, and she opens up the closet door, and the entire closet is filled with boxes and boxes of correspondence, including correspondence with Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge, all the leading luminaries of the spiritualism movement. It’s got over thirty scrapbooks of Margery that were amassed by her husband, and nobody had seen this material for 80 years except for her and her mother. My jaw dropped. I wound up spending the next two weeks over there every day. She was such a doll, she even helped me carry the material to the local store to Xerox it. Those thousands of pages were then put into the Alexander, made text searchable. From that material, we developed the most compelling part of the book to me, which was the last few years of his life and how the battle with the spiritualists may have ended with Houdini’s dea

(June 2011) Sir Reginald Styles, a British diplomat trying to organise a peace conference to avert , is in his study at the government-owned Auderly House when a soldier dressed in grey camouflage and wielding a futuristic looking bursts in and holds him at gunpoint. However, before the can fire, he vanishes, leaving Styles to shakily tell his secretary he has been visited by a . As the conference is of vital international importance, is called in. The have pulled out of the conference and Styles will be flying to to try to persuade them to rejoin, and nothing must interfere with the conference's success. However, when the , and the go over to Auderly House, Styles denies ever seeing the "ghost", even though the Doctor notes the presence of muddy footprints in the study. The guerrilla reappears on the grounds in a -like effect, but he is intercepted by two huge humanoid aliens, , who attack him and leave him for dead. UNIT soldiers discover the severely injured guerrilla and take him to the hospital while the Doctor examines his weapon and a small black box that was found in a nearby tunnel system. Styles leaves for Peking, while the Doctor discovers that the pistol, which is an disintegrator, is made of Earth materials, not alien, and that the box is a crude , complete with a miniature dematerialisation circuit. As he tries to activate it, the vortex effect appears again and the guerrilla vanishes from the . The temporal feedback circuit on the time machine also overloads — as the Doctor explains to the Brigadier, it has blown a . Since everything seems to be centred on Auderly House, the Doctor decides to spend the evening there. The night passes without incident, but in the day, three guerrillas appear from the time vortex — Anat, a woman who is in command of the mission, along with two men, Boaz and Shura. They come across a UNIT patrol and disintegrate the two soldiers while making their way to the house. In the study, the Doctor tries to reactivate the time machine, causing an alert to be sounded in the 22nd Century. Shura enters the house, but the Doctor subdues him with some . Shura begs the Doctor to turn off the box, as in the future, a human Controller reports to the that the machine has been activated. The Daleks command that once the coordinates of the box are confirmed, whoever is using that device must be exterminated. In the present, Anat and Boaz enter with Jo as their prisoner and demand that the machine be deactivated. The Doctor complies, and the conversation makes it apparent that the guerrillas believe that he is Styles, whom they are apparently here to . The Doctor shows them a to convince them otherwise, and Anat demands to know who the Doctor is. When and enter the house to search for the missing patrol, the guerrillas usher the Doctor and Jo into the cellar where they tie them up. Finding the Doctor and Jo gone, Yates contacts the Brigadier, who tells them to search the grounds again. In the future, the Daleks order the Controller to send troops to the frequency they detected earlier, and activate a time vortex magnetron, so that anyone travelling between the two time zones will be drawn to the Controller's headquarters. In the past, Anat sends Shura to contact the future for more orders, but Shura only manages to retrieve a from near the tunnel before being attacked by Ogrons. He is wounded, but manages to stumble away. In the cellar, Jo asks the Doctor why, if the guerrillas wanted to kill Styles, they do not just travel back to the previous day to try again, and the Doctor says that this is due to the "". Before he can explain further, they are ushered back up to the study — the Brigadier is calling on the house phone. The Doctor is forced to pretend over the telephone that everything is fine at Auderly House. The Brigadier tells the Doctor that Styles has convinced the Chinese to rejoin the conference and that the delegates will arrive the next day. The Brigadier asks for reassurance that everything is all right, and the Doctor tells him it is, but the Brigadier gets suspicious when the Doctor asks him to also " to the ." The Brigadier decides to go to the house and see for himself. Jo frees herself from her bonds and threatens to destroy the box the first guerrilla used, but Anat and Boaz tell her that it only worked for that person. Suddenly, the time vortex effect activates and Jo vanishes into the future, appearing in the Controller's headquarters due to the vortex magnetron. There, the Controller ingratiates himself with Jo, who tells him everything, including the exact time and location where she came from. The Daleks use this information and send a Dalek supported by Ogrons to the present, where they attack the house. Anat and Boaz fire back, and flee towards the tunnels. The Brigadier arrives just in time to gun down an Ogron, and the Doctor commandeers his jeep in pursuit of the two guerrillas. In the tunnels he meets a Dalek, and runs away, finding Anat and Boaz just as they activate their time machines, and is swept up in the same vortex. In the 22nd Century version of the tunnels, the Doctor and the guerrillas are separated when Ogrons pursue them. The Doctor climbs out of the tunnels onto the surface, where he sees a Dalek order Ogrons to exterminate some rebels. When the Controller informs the Daleks that Jo mentioned a "Doctor", the Daleks react violently, declaring that the Doctor is an enemy of the Daleks and must be exterminated. The Doctor stumbles into what appears to be a factory, and sees humans being used as , guarded by other humans. He is captured by an Ogron, and is being interrogated when the factory manager comes in and persuades the interrogator to let him speak to the Doctor. When they are alone, the manager asks the Doctor which guerrilla group he comes from, but the Doctor says he is not part of any group. Before any further conversation can take place, the Controller arrives, and takes the Doctor to see Jo. The manager contacts the guerrillas, who have made it back to their base with their leader, a man named Monia. The manager tells them of the Doctor, but he is discovered by an Ogron and killed. Monia decides that they must rescue the Doctor, because he seems to be the only man the Daleks are afraid of. After an abortive escape attempt, the Doctor is strapped down to a Dalek mind analysis device, where images of the and confirm to the Daleks that he is indeed their sworn enemy. The Controller bursts in, saying that using the mind analysis device will kill the Doctor. They should keep the Doctor alive for information on the rebels, and he will question the Doctor personally. The Daleks gloat to the Doctor that they have discovered , invaded Earth , and changed the course of history. The Doctor calls the Controller a traitor, and the Controller explains that at the end of the 20th Century, a hundred years of devastating worldwide wars began, killing 7/8ths of the population and forcing the rest to live in little more than holes in the ground. It was during this period that the Daleks invaded, conquering the world and using it for raw materials to fuel the expansion of their . Some humans cooperated — the Controller's family have been officials for three generations. The Doctor calls them a family of . The rebel guerrillas attack the Controller's base and rescue the Doctor. Monia is about to shoot the Controller but the Doctor tells him not to — the Daleks would have used somebody else in any case. The rebels take the Doctor back to their hideout and tell him the rest of the story. Styles organised the peace conference, and when Auderly House was blown up, everyone was killed. The rebels believe that Styles engineered the whole thing, and caused the century of war that followed. That was why they used Dalek-derived time travel technology to travel to the past, to kill Styles before he could destroy the peace conference. They used the tunnels because that is the only common location shared by the two time zones. The Doctor is sceptical, believing Styles to be stubborn but basically a good man. When the Doctor finds out that the rebels brought a bomb made of with them, a powerful and unstable that will affect even Dalek casings, he realises that the rebels are caught in a . They will cause the very explosion they went back in time to prevent, and create their own history. Indeed, back in the 20th Century, Shura has found his way into Auderly House and plants the bomb in the cellar. The Doctor and Jo make their way back to the tunnels so they can travel back and stop Shura, only to run into an ambush the Controller has set up. The Doctor convinces the Controller that he has the means to stop the Daleks even before they have begun, and the Controller lets him go, only to be betrayed by the interrogator and exterminated by the Daleks. The Daleks send a strike force to the 20th Century to ensure their version of the future is preserved, and attack as the delegates arrive at the house. In the ensuing battle between the Daleks, Ogrons and UNIT, the Brigadier evacuates the delegates. The Doctor, back in the present, makes his way down to the cellar to try to convince Shura not to activate the bomb; Auderly House is empty, it will all have been for nothing. However, once Shura hears that the Daleks are entering the house, he tells the Doctor and Jo to leave — he will take care of the Daleks. The Brigadier tells his men to fall back to the main road as the Daleks search the house for delegates. Shura detonates the bomb, destroying the house and everything in it. The Doctor tells Styles that it is now up to him to make the conference a success. Styles assures the Doctor it will be, because they know what will happen if they fail. The Doctor, nodding at Jo, says that they know too. [] Continuity The is never explicitly laid out, but cites it as a means to explain why a time traveller cannot redo his own actions. Dalekanium is presented in this serial as an unstable explosive in the alternate future. In , Dortmun also calls the material that Dalek casings are made of dalekanium. This is continued in "". To explain the return of the Daleks after their "final end" (as stated by the in ), lines were scripted to reveal that the humanised Daleks had lost the civil war seen in Evil, placing this story after Evil in the Daleks' own chronology. However, this scene was ultimately not filmed. The Doctor, in an unusual instance, is seen to both hold and use a gun to eliminate an enemy, in this case an Ogron, near the end of episode 2.

The production team only had three Dalek props available for use during the production of this serial, so only three Daleks appear on screen at any one time. One of the Daleks is painted gold so only two regular casings are seen in shot. Film editing is used to attempt the illusion of more than three Daleks. As originally written, the serial revolved around the Ogrons instead of the Daleks. It was planned to bring the Daleks back at the end of the season, in a serial called The Daleks in London by Robert Sloman. This plan was dropped when the production staff realised that the show would not have a hook to entice viewers (after the Third Doctor's introduction in Season 7 and that of the in Season 8), and Sloman's serial was allegedly shaping up to be too similar to . Instead, writer was asked to alter his serial to include the Daleks. Early in the first episode, there is a scene where the Doctor and Jo are working on the TARDIS console in the Doctor's lab. A mistake by the Doctor causes another Doctor and Jo to briefly appear at the entrance to the lab. Originally the serial was to end with a scene where the Doctor and Jo went back to the lab, and saw their earlier selves working at the TARDIS console. However, the last episode was overrunning and director Paul Bernard decided to cut the scene, which he personally disliked. Script Editor Terrance Dicks tried to persuade Bernard to put it back in, but Bernard refused and producer Barry Letts agreed that it should be cut. Dicks would later restore the scene in his novelisation of the story. It should be noted that this story features the TARDIS console once more outside of the TARDIS itself, as in The Ambassadors of Death and Inferno. was originally proposed as the setting and location for Day of the Daleks. The name was changed to Auderly in the finished programme, and renamed Austerly in the novelisation. , who penned the first story in 1963, was given an on-screen credit at the end of all four episodes of this story as having originated them.

Left to right: Igor Aleksander, Wendy Hall, Ron Chrisley, Nigel Shadbolt. Photo: unknown.On July 11th, 2007, I gave an invited lecture as part of a Royal Academy of Engineering seminar entitled: "AI and IT: Where Philosophy and Engineering Meet", itself a part of their Philosophy of Engineering series. I elaborated on ideas that I have only hinted at before in print, most notably at the end of the paper "Embodied Artificial Intelligence" (can't provide a link to it here or it will screw up my feed - ugh).Abstract: Although an understanding of the importance of engineering for philosophy can be traced back at least as far as Giambattista Vico's slogan "Verum Ipsum Factum" ("what is made is what is true"), the landmark elaboration of this understanding in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) is Aaron Sloman's The Computer Revolution in Philosophy. Using the key findings of that work as a foundation, I will argue that in the field of AI, the mutual benefits of philosophy and engineering extend well beyond the general salutary interdependence of theory and practice. Interactive empiricism will be introduced as the claim that key breakthroughs in both building and philosophically understanding consciousness will result from the theorist/philosopher being an integrated causal component of the system being designed. Recent work in AI will be used to support this claim.As it happens, I didn't mention Sloman's work in the talk at all, and barely mentioned Vico.Media:PodSlides: iPod-ready video (.mp4; 26.7 MB; 34 min 04 sec)Audio (.mp3; 8.1 MB; 34 min 03 sec)PowerPoint file (.ppt; 2.0 MB)Flyer describing the seminar (.pdf; 136 kB)
This year's Reith lecturer is Dr Albert E Sloman, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Essex. He was previously Gilmour Professor of Spanish at Liverpool University and Dean of the Faculty of Arts. Dr Sloman explores what is needed to make an institute for higher education in Essex in his series entitled 'A University in the Making'. In this lecture entitled 'The Fulfilment of Lives', Dr Sloman explores how the newly built University of Essex will create accommodation for its students. Putting forward his concept of social cohesion for the college in the town of Colchester, he explains how small apartments, integrated recreational areas for students and lecturers and large sport areas will allow for the perfect work/life balance.
