A 25 ans, l'officier de marine Bellot s'embarque dans le périlleux sauvetage de l'expédition Franklin perdue en Arctique et découvre de nouveaux détroits maritimes.Remontez le temps dans cet épisode captivant des « Grands dossiers de l'Histoire » avec Franck Ferrand. Plongez dans l'épopée tragique de Joseph-René Bellot, jeune officier de la marine française qui a participé à une expédition risquée pour retrouver les traces de l'explorateur britannique John Franklin, disparu dans l'Arctique avec son équipage.En 1851, la goélette Prince Albert, commandée par le capitaine britannique William Kennedy, part à la recherche des navires d'exploration l'Erebus et le Terror, disparus depuis quatre ans. À bord, le lieutenant de vaisseau Joseph-René Bellot, un jeune officier français de 25 ans, avide d'aventure. Leur mission : explorer les terres glacées du Grand Nord à la recherche de survivants de l'expédition de Franklin.Après de longues semaines de navigation périlleuse, la goélette se retrouve prise dans les glaces de l'île de Somerset. Bellot et ses compagnons se lancent alors dans une série d'expéditions à traîneau pour tenter de retrouver les traces de Franklin, affrontant les tempêtes de neige, les blizzards et les dangers mortels de cet environnement hostile.

We're diving into the claustrophobic and intense world of Wasteman, the debut feature from director Calum Macdiarmid. David Jonsson (who you'll recognise from Alien: Romulus) delivers a stunning, restrained performance as Taylor, a man desperately trying to keep his head down and secure his parole.But when his new cellmate, the volatile Dee (Tom Blyth), drags him into a vicious prison power struggle, Taylor's future is thrown into jeopardy. It's 90 minutes of pure, high-stakes tension that'll leave you breathless.Fun Flix Fact: To keep things authentic, the film was shot at Shepton Mallet Prison in Somerset. It's the oldest operating prison in the UK (dating back to 1610!) before it closed in 2013. The cast and crew reportedly felt the "heavy" atmosphere of the real-life cells during filming, which definitely translates to the screen!To tie into our prison theme, we're looking back 10 years at Ava DuVernay's masterpiece, 13th. This powerhouse documentary explores the history of racial inequality and the "prison-industrial complex" in the United States. A decade later, its message remains as piercing and urgent as ever.Fun Flix Fact: Talk about making history—13th was the first-ever documentary to open the New York Film Festival! It was produced in total secrecy, and the film world only found out it even existed when the festival programme was announced.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

The gorge has several caves that provide the perfect humidity and steady temperature for maturing the cheese. The popular cheese was first bought by the royal family and is said to have been brought to Britain by the Romans from the Cantal region of France. Joseph Harding, was central to the modernization and standardization of Cheddar cheese. He encouraged dairy hygiene and modern cheese-making techniques. The 'Joseph Harding method' was the first Cheddar production method based upon scientific principles. Cheddar cheese is the second most popular cheese, falling right under Mozzarella.

James Winslade's fields started to flood nearly three weeks ago. They're still under water, and the floods are creeping closer to his farm buildings. He updates us on the situation on his Somerset farm, and tells Charlotte Smith that this year's floods will put a 'huge strain' on the business.The relentless rain is leaving some livestock farmers, especially dairy farmers, with a mucky conundrum. Environmental regulations prevent slurry being spread on the land during the wettest winter months, to reduce the risk of pollution runoff into water courses. That period's now officially over, but many fields are too wet for slurry spreading. Storage space is finite...and with animals winter housed the slurry keeps coming.With increasingly unpredictable weather patterns and rising costs of fertilisers and pesticides, could Artificial Intelligence help arable farmers make their growing season more efficient, and more profitable? The Royal Agricultural University is investigating the use of AI and drones to identify weeds in a wheat crop, so precision treatment can be used to take them out.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Support for a leadership challenge against Sussan Ley has continued to build momentum, with a wave of high-profile shadow cabinet ministers quitting their positions to support Angus TaylorLiberal MP Dan Tehan is among those who've handed in their resignation today, with shadow cabinet members Michaelia Cash, Jonno Duniam, James Paterson, and James McGrath also quitting.A party meeting will be held tomorrow morning to vote on a leadership spill, with Mr Taylor challenging Sussan Ley for the top job. Thousands of people have gathered outside Melbourne's Flinders Street Station to oppose Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia.Traffic outside Flinders Street Station has been bought to a standstill while Pro-Palestinian speakers have addressed the crowd.There's been a significant police presence surrounding Mr Herzog during his time in Melbourne, the last stop on his four-day visit to Australia.Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding across parts of south-east Queensland today.The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of Ipswich, Somerset, Western Downs, Toowoomba, Lockyer Valley, and the Scenic Rim.Sandbagging stations have opened as councils across the region brace for the deluge.

I asked county cricket fans to give me their thoughts on how their teams would fare in 2026 and I got a great response! Here we have Evan Gallagher on Kent, Dan Haggar on Essex, Barrie Funnell & David Wright on Surrey, Oliver Hawke on Leicestershire, David Griffin on Derbyshire, Harry Everett on Somerset and a certain "David from York" on Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Turning underutilised land into thriving leisure and hospitality destinations is what entrepreneur Joel Cadbury does best.In the latest episode of Estate Matters, the founder and chief executive of Longshot tells podcast host Anna Byles how he has spent 30 years spotting opportunities where others see challenges.Joel describes how, as chair of The Royal Parks Foundation, he transformed empty buildings into lettable properties generating millions of pounds a year and championed the creation of Winter Wonderland – an idea initially dismissed because "British people don't skate."Now he has turned his attention to Mad Swans, a new leisure and hospitality concept, developed on the sites of failing golf courses – including on the Mendips in Somerset. Working with leading architect Tom Mackenzie, the team has established what Sir Nick Faldo has called the first proper 12-hole course built in over a century, alongside padel and pickle courts, high-end accommodation and dining.Reducing the number of holes, means land has been made available at the 200-acre site to reflect Joel's passion for sustainability and self-sufficiency, including a planned solar farm, growing horseradish and keeping bees.There were critics, Joel admits, but his philosophy remains simple: leave things better than you found them.

The Country Land and Business Association, CLA, says winter flooding is putting pressure on farm finances, coming after summer drought and during a period of poor arable and milk prices. The CLA's Deputy President, Joe Evans, describes driving past 'hundreds of acres' of 'prime arable land' under water on the outskirts of Worcester. He tells Anna Hill of instances where arable farmers in Somerset have stopped growing crops because of repeated flooding. He believes that farmers could be more resilient, and help protect nearby communities, if they were given the right policy and regulatory support.The Government has said it plans to end the use of sow farrowing crates under proposals in the new Animal Welfare Bill. These narrow pens are used in indoor pig units, and they confine sows during birth and suckling, for around a month. Their purpose is to prevent sows killing piglets by accidentally lying on them. We visit a farm in East Yorkshire which has been trialling alternative systems for 15 years. This week we're exploring how artificial intelligence, AI, could help farmers improve efficiency, and reduce the environment footprint of producing food. Today, a project combining AI with a camera which 'sees' things in a different way to the human eye, to understand how plants are behaving. It could eventually help farmers use nitrogen fertiliser much more precisely.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

Sometime in 2026, we will discover our 10000th exoplanet, a world around a distant star. This population of worlds has proved remarkably diverse, but hasn't produced any world like our own. We ask whether this is a coincidence, or whether it could be that our own world is special – and how we might investigate other worlds like our own when we do find them.This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 4th February 2026 at Conway Hall, London.Professor Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.Having been educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and University College London, his research now ranges from understanding how galaxies form and evolve, to using machine learning to find the most unusual things in the Universe, to predicting the properties of visiting interstellar asteroids. He was the founder of the Zooniverse citizen science platform, which provides opportunities for more than two million online volunteers to contribute to scientific research, and which was the topic of his first book, 'The Crowd and the Cosmos'.

Whether you are a fan of English heritage, fine dining, or the art of hospitality, this interview offers a fascinating look at one of Britain's most prestigious establishments.

What happens when a recruitment agency founder billing a million dollars a year realises she's working 7am to 10pm every single day and nothing has actually changed? Andrea Rishmawi had built impressive revenue, but beneath the success, she was juggling everything herself, convinced that if she didn't control every outcome, things would fall apart. When the market heated up again in Q2 2025, she knew she was heading straight back into unsustainable territory. Then she made a choice that would shift everything: three days at the Beyond Beliefs retreat in Somerset. What followed wasn't just a break from the business, it was a complete rethinking of how she leads, decides, and trusts.In this conversation recorded after the retreat, Andrea shares:Discover why billing a million dollars a year doesn't protect you from burnout when you're managing everything aloneLearn how three days of breathwork, journaling, and ceremonial practices helped Andrea shift from brain-driven decisions to body-guided leadershipUnderstand the difference between "everything will be fine because I'll make it fine" and genuinely trusting your team to executeExplore what it means to stop seeking answers from books, podcasts, and external advice and start listening to the wisdom already inside youHear why everyone in Andrea's life noticed an immediate difference in her after the retreat, and what that tells us about sustainable leadershipThis episode offers a rare, honest look at what it takes to move from reactive management to intentional leadership. Andrea doesn't hold back about the 14-hour days, the constant juggling act, or the belief that she had to be superwoman to keep everything running. But she also reveals what changed when she stopped prescribing solutions to herself and started trusting what her body was telling her. If you've ever felt stuck doing the same things and expecting different results, or if you've wondered whether slowing down might actually help you grow faster, this conversation will resonate deeply. Listen now to hear Andrea's story and the single statement that became her guiding principle: "The medicine is inside you." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬If this conversation sparked something - a nudge, a curiosity or a quiet knowing - trust it…Email katy@centredexcellenceteam.com if you'd like to learn more about Beyond Beliefs or the deeper work we do.

World Ferment Day took place on February 1st this year. Billed as a global celebration that turns theory into practice, people were invited to taste a ferment, make a ferment, share a ferment or host a ferment event. Organizer Jo Webster was supported by The Fermentation School, Wildbrine, and The Fermentation School en español. Goodfellows Restaurant in Jo’s home town of Wells, Somerset, hosted two 15-person sold-out sittings of a ‘Cultured Lunch’ by chef Adam Fellows. Jo and her friend Caroline Gilmartin helped prepare the dishes. The Cultured Lunch constituted two back to back sell-out sittings in Adam's delightful restaurant. The aim was to showcase how ferments meld deliciously as part of tasty meals, bringing complexity and diversity to the table. Whether it was in the form of my fermentceutical crackers, loaded with labneh and Jerusalem artichoke ferment, or the Fennel Blush ferment and Cultjar‘s Cooks Kowl sauerkraut tucked under the duo of organic salmon, the results were extremely popular. My Rosemary sourdough went down a storm and so did Caroline's mango kefir ice cream, with Fermenti's enlivening fermented fruit bites to augment it. Caroline showed attendees how to make milk kefir and explained how those first milk kefir grains were snaffled out of the Caucasus region by subterfuge for the benefit of so many nations thereafter. I waxed lyrical about my beloved vegetable ferments and forgot to roll the sleeves of my white shirt up before grating the beetroot. People went home inspired, excited and satiated. My favourite feedback was from a gentleman who candidly said that his wife had twisted his arm to get him to attend with her. “I thought it was going to be shit”, he said. I assumed World Ferment Day was just aimed at making money rather than genuinely aiming to make lives better by encouraging more people to eat and drink more ferments. In fact, this has been an inspiring afternoon and I am so glad that I came”. Challenges Jo acknowledges that fermented foods and drinks are still a niche. This is part of the challenge. While there’s more producers coming into the market, I still think it’s a pretty hard market to be in. For many, it has been a pretty lonely and isolating market to be in for quite a long time for quite a few people. And that is gradually changing for sure. And there’s definitely more players coming into the market. Some are ramping up production and it seems like something is shifting. Statistics 17 countries 70+ events 400 people signed up to the ferment pledge 5000+ people viewing the global map 786 Instagram followers This marked a sizable increase from the first World Ferment Day where there were only 10 events. There was very little planning for 2025. I thought of the idea at the beginning of January and we held it at the beginning of February. It was very low key. This time we’ve had a year, but various things have happened to distract me. We had a good three month run up, but this time we’re going to have a full year run up. Global Response Tomorrow, some of us will step into a communal kitchen for a cooking session guided by Food Citizen's regular volunteer and partner, Deepa. Among other foods, we'll be making idli — a fermented dish common in many South Indian homes and available in Singapore at stalls and restaurants. Food Citizen, Singapore I created this ebook to celebrate World Ferment Day. Fermentation is an art, a way to connect with our ancestry and, at the same time, a contemporary path to create new possibilities in the kitchen. Inside this ebook, you will find 5 very special recipes, carefully tested and developed by me over the years. Nomad Food Lab, São Bernardino, Portugal Celebrating World Fermentation Day by making my granny's favourite ferment: sauerkraut. My love of preserving stems from my granny, Ima Mae (in the photo, which lives in my kitchen) who always had homemade pickles (including kraut) on the table, all made with veg grown by my granddad. Rachel de Thample, London, England It's @world.ferment.day!!! What are you doing to celebrate?! Today we're going be doing a lot of fermentation processing and feeding a lot of cultures before we head to India this week on a fermentation journey with @rtb_kombucha. Contraband Ferments, Atlanta, USA World Ferment Day exists to honor one of the oldest human food practices — preservation through time, not technology. Fermentation isn't fast. It isn't flashy. It's salt, patience, attention, and trust. That's why it felt right to host my first workshop of the year on February 1. Golden State Pickle Works, Santa Rosa, California, USA Fermentation is a revolution. #doyouhavetheguts to say yes to living in collaboration with microbes and immigrants and residents from the air and soil? And say NO to fascism? Together as a community we can do this. Cultures Group, New York, USA Today, it's worth taking a moment to recognise just how fundamental fermentation is to life itself and as the influential physicist, Richard Feynman put it – “All life is fermentation”. From the microbes that support our bodies to the recipes that have shaped food cultures across the world, fermentation has always been quietly at work. When it's understood and given time, fermentation has the power to transform simple ingredients into something complex, nourishing and full of flavour. It's how tea, sugar and SCOBY become kombucha and how entirely new taste experiences are created. Today we're celebrating the magic behind fermentation and the incredible world of flavour it opens up when you let nature lead. Momo Kombucha, London, England Today is World Fermentation Day and it’s your chance to strike a blow for world gut health! Try something new – a new ferment you have not tried before and your body will love you for it! Give it a go! The fact is that by making fermented foods part of your daily routine you’ll be helping your gut diversity, improve nutrient availability, and build the resilience of your microbiome. Fermentation Tasmania, Legana, Tasmania, Australia Fermenting wasn't just his gateway into the microbial world—soil, pets, cuddles—it also sparked his curiosity about new foods, to feed his microbial friends. Today, on the first ever #WorldFermentDay, I'm celebrating how fermented foods have the ability to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection—especially in young minds. Flora Montgomery, Gutsy for Life, Tokyo, Japan Potential Jo is excited by the multi-cultural potential of World Ferment Day. So I think the potential is very real in terms of more countries. What we want to show is different cultural approaches to this food technology, different products, that there’s something for everybody in terms of flavor profile, in terms of texture, in terms of curiosity and adventure. And the more the more we can represent ferment habits globally, the happier I will be, because at the moment, obviously, I’m a middle-class white person promoting it. And largely it’s been America, UK. It would be really great to get a truly representative global support and therefore representation of different ferment cultures and styles and methods and approaches. What we’re also seeking is to get these foods and drinks embedded in the cultures in which they’re not familiar and re-celebrated in the cultures where Western food is becoming increasingly appealing and people are moving further away from these food, food technologies and foods and drinks. Funding The key thing is finding funding. In an ideal world, we would get a really solid funding to be able to properly take this forward. We’ve shown this year that there is real appetite for it, that thousands of people ate and drank ferments because of those 70 events. Our aim is that ferments are not just for World Ferment Day. Interview Jo discusses the achievements of the 2026 World Ferment Day and her hopes for the future in this exclusive interview. The post World Ferment Day – Debrief with Jo Webster appeared first on 'Booch News.

M3 TWO-PART INVENTION in F MAJOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723 (0:40). M4 TWO-PART INVENTION in B-FLAT MAJOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723 (1:30) M5 TWO-PART INVENTION in D MINOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723, (0:55). M6 PRELUDE & FUGUE No. 5 “Le Clavier Bien Tempere” D-Major, JS BACH, 1722, BWV 850 (3:06). M7 JESU, JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING, JS BACH, 1723, BWV 147 (2:56) M8 CHORALE PRELUDE “WACHET AUF”, JS BACH, 1731, BWV 140 (3:37) PROGRAM NOTES Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and organist from the late Baroque period. He was born in Eisenach, in what is now central Germany. Bach lived from 1685 to 1750, The Baroque period was a 150-year period in music, dating from 1600 to 1750. Baroque music is Western Classical Music that followed the Renaissance period. Baroque music features drama, ornamentation, major and minor tones, and was presented in new ways – – like the Opera, Concerto, and Sonata, Baroque composers included BACH, HANDEL, VIVALDI. M9 AIR ON A G-STRING, JS BACH, 1730, BWV 1068 (2:27). Bach probably used the CLAVICHORD to compose most of his music. The Clavichord is small, lightweight and would not disturb people. The clavichord was very temperamental, because it required tuning before each play, just like a violin or guitar.  The keyboard instruments of the day were referred to as a general category: the “KLAVIER”….these included HARPSICHORD, CLAVICHORD, ORGAN and PIANOFORTE. Bach's favorite KLAVIER instrument was the LAUTENWERK or LUTE HARPSICHORD with animal gut strings.  The writing of music was in support of GOD and KINGS. Over time, Baroque Music evolved into what is today known as the modern Orchestra. Bach was a prolific composer, writing hundreds of pieces for solo instruments, particularly the organ. He also wrote pieces for orchestra and choir. Bach is MOST known for writing two or more  melodies or voices against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. Bit Bucket A BWV catalog number is a unique identifier for musical works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, standing for Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (Bach Works Catalogue).  Today I will present 9 compositions, dating from 1710 to 1731, during the time Bach was about age 25 to 45. M1 TOCCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR M.2 ADAGIO, 1710-1717, BWV 564 (4:20) Our first piece — TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). an ORGAN COMPOSITION.     It is taken from a 1959 album of BACH ORGAN WORKS   . The movement is called ADAGIO ….which indicates “At Ease”, or “Slow and Stately”. Tempo is only 66-76 BPM. like the resting heart rate for many people. Great liner notes. HERE IS AN  excerpt from the liner notes on that album – – QUOTE “OUR BACH” said the obituary notice, “was the greatest organ and clavier player that ever lived”. Though it may seem strange to us now, Bach's genius during his life was recognized only as a master of the organ—not as a composer. It was actually over a hundred years after his death that his works revealed him as a unique and mighty composer. His reputation as an organist brought many invitations to test new organs and advise on the construction of them.  UNQUOTE As with most of his organ works , there is no autograph or manuscript score from Bach, his organ work manuscript copies are lost.  This song has a CONCERTO style and rhythm.  We will hear the 2nd or ADAGIO movement. . It is all very calm and beautiful and pastoral and serene…until Bach pulls out all the stops in the last minute of this ADAGIO movement. He is really rocking the walls and windows of that church. Without any further adieu, here is TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). PLAY M2 SHOW PLUG – DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL ! That was…M2 MUSICAL CREDIT: This Bach organ work  was recorded on the Luneburg Organ at St. Johanniskirche, in the town of Luneburg, in northern Germany, the organist is Professor Michael Schneider. This LP was produced and released on the SOMERSET label here in the US in 1959 The album title is BACH The Majesty of the Luneburger Organ. M2 NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND, JS BACH, 1714, BWV 61 (5:21) Our next piece is the most famous church cantata written in 1714 for THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT. NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND or in English “NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS” A HEATHAN is a person with no religion, i.e., a PAGAN. In this chorale, Jesus is asked to …  come and save the pagans.  In 1714, Bach would have been 29 years of age. It turns out that this song goes back almost two centuries before BACH's time.  It's based on a LUTERAN CHORALE with words written by Martin Luther for the 1523 first Advent Sunday.  For centuries, this was the first hymn for the first Sunday of ADVENT.  What I will play next is an arrangement for as modern symphony orchestra (the Philadelphia Orchestra) and it is definitely JS BACH heard in those phrases. But it is a large orchestra – – Conducted by Leopold Stokowski.  This is an extremely restrained, demure, and understated interpretation of a Bach piece the most restrained I have ever heard. The recording you will hear next is performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with conductor   Leopold Stokowski. This recording is on a Vinyl LP titled THE SOUND OF GENIUS, produced by COLUMBIA MASTERWORKS, in 1960. It was one of many records that were shipped by mail to members of the Columbia Record Club. My parents were enthusiastic members. A new disc would arrive in the mail every month, such as this LP of classical music. Without further delay here is NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS PLAY M1 SHOW PLUG – SHOW PLUG – DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL ! ! That was…M1 NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS” MUSICAL CREDIT: Arranger and Composer JS Bach, sometime between the years 1708-1717 Performance: Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Album: The Sound of Genius Limited Edition LP (1960) Members Only ! Label: Columbia Master Works BIT BUCKET This piece also is based on a song listed in the ZAHN Lutheran chorales catalog. ZAHN 1174 M3 TWO-PART INVENTION in F MAJOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723 (0:40) The next three pieces are called TWO PART INVENTIONS, composed by JS Bach around 1720   The inventions were composed for use in instruction of Bach's oldest son WILHELM FRIEDEMANN BACH who was 12 years old. Today, these inventions are introduced to music students in school grades 4-7. Learning the Two-Part Invention requires ROTE learning, practicing over and over until the two hands work completely independently of one another. The inventions teach, among other things, the use of COUNTERPOINT. Bach is MOST known for writing two melodies against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. That is the feature of these inventions, in each one there are TWO PARTS, left and right hand parts. COUNTERPOINT is found mostly in Bach's FUGUES and in his INVENTIONS. Perhaps a brief demonstration is in order. Here is an excerpt from one of Bach's inventions. FIRST the right-hand part or first point – the melody SECOND the left-hand part or second point – the bass line LAST both parts played in counterpoint. In some of Bach works, the roles reverse, The left hand plays the first point – the melody And the right hand plays the second point – the bass line Could you do this by crossing hands on the keyboard – yes, but, the roles are reversed, so no cross-hand playing. I will now play  WENDY CARLOS's rendition of three BACH TWO-PART INVENTIONS from her 1969 recording titled “SWITCHED ON BACH” .. I will play all three, back-to-back.

Not just a key change like the work title would suggest ! Bach stated that he wrote his inventions “to be models of composition” in other words, to enable the student to form ways of developing musical ideas and “acquire a strong taste of composition” Bach wrote the inventions, one for of the notes A to G and one for each minor and major key. Today these inventions are over 300 years old !

For the profit and use of the studious musical young…” Bach wrote these preludes and fugues in all keys in the chromatic scale … 12 major and 12 minor keys I have the version in D MAJOR.

This was written for the Christian Feast of the Visitation- celebrated at the end of May in Western Christianity. The song is a Lutheran hymn. … a CANTATA and it has a CHORALE or chorus piece repeated twice within this cantata.

This hymn was transcribed from a Lutheran hymn written in 1599 by written by Phillippe Nicolai. This Cantata is truly a work from the middle ages. In 1731, Bach took this hymn and created a 7-movement cantata, we will hear the first movement or PRELUDE”.  This cantata is sung in church on the Trinity Sunday. Today this piece is very popular piece in general…it is POPULAR CLASSICAL MUSIC.    J.S. Bach wrote 46 of these cantatas for church, in all.

This title comes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major,  written almost 300 years ago.   So what is the meaning of the song title Air on a G-String? Well, Bach composed this as an orchestral suite in 1730. 141 years later, August Wilhelm arranged the second movement for SOLO VIOLIN and he did something unique. He transposed the song down from D so that the entire piece could be played on one string of the violin, the G-String, which is the lowest register on that instrument. Here is an example of what this sounds like on the Violin G-String, thjs example with piano accompaniment—pardon the scratchy sound, is from an old 78 RPM disc in 1935. Play example  – Jacques Dumont (Violin) Bach Air On The G String with Andre Collard (piano) We went from Bach's orchestral piece, to Wilhelm's transcription for solo violin, to Wendy Carlos modern interpretation with her MOOG Synthesizer.

My Music Podcast – Graham Coath with Beth & Clinton (Ma Polaine's Great Decline)This episode of My Music is proudly (and unapologetically) West Country–biased, as host Graham Coath welcomes Beth and Clinton from Ma Polaine's Great Decline, joining him from just down the road in Frome, Somerset.What starts as a neighbourly catch-up quickly turns into a warm, funny, and music-nerdy conversation about how the duo met (a late-night London band audition that accidentally became something far stranger), why their songwriting doesn't feel particularly “UK” despite their roots, and how a shared love of American blues, soul and jazz helped shape the sound they've become known for.You'll hear:How Beth and Clinton met — and why some songs simply don't belong in a midnight Soho setThe pull of Cornwall, the pace of London, and why Frome feels like the right kind of “slow”Growing up with record collections, noisy rehearsals, folk clubs, and proper gig cultureWhy they record live in a room together (and why perfection can ruin the magic)A deep love for intimate venues where the audience is close enough to feel like familyTheir plans for 2026: gigs, festivals, album shows — and keeping it all workable with family lifeThere's plenty of laughter, a few brilliant gig stories, and a real sense of two artists who care more about feel, connection, and the song itself than chasing trends.

Listen in as Jesus meets with a ruler of the Jews. In this passage, Nicodemus is left with a challenge to rethink what he knows about God and the Kingdom. This message was delivered on Jan. 25, 2026 at First Christian Church in Somerset, PA. Text: John 3:1-15

In this episode we talk to the best selling author, historian and broadcaster, Richard Van Emden about his friend Harry Patch, the Somerset man who was the last soldier to die (aged 111)  who could recall the fighting in the Great War. We learn what a character Harry was, and how Richard persuaded him, at the age of 100, to discuss his wartime memories and feelings. We hear from Harry himself as he talks about going “over the top” at Passchendaele in 1917 and how he was seriously wounded a few weeks later. And we learn how Harry planted some acorns at his nursing home, to remember the Germans who sacrificed their lives in the war.

In This Episode, We Cover Why Sorbus domestica is often nicknamed "the chocolate pear" (and why that name actually helps people get it) What bletting means, and why sorbs can be delicious before they turn fully brown (depending on the fruit) The "custard stage" vs. fully bletted "medlar-like" stage (and how this relates to cider pressing windows) Ben's sorb travel finds across: Croatia (including fruit for sale at the market + trees growing in yards) Moravia (Czech Republic) — including the Sorbus museum and harvest festival France (sorb hunting with Arnold and tasting cormé/cormé-style ferments) Somerset, UK (a surprise roadside discovery!) Growth habits that can make Sorbus domestica look like an oak Why sorbs may matter in a changing climate: deep root systems drought resistance long lifespan later bloom time (less frost risk) Seed-grown vs grafted sorbs — and why Ben prefers genetic diversity (for now) The surprising reality: sorbs have already been distributed widely in the U.S. through seedlings What's being made with sorbs in Europe: brandy co-ferments with grapes wine experiments Time Stamps 00:00 Introduction to Sorbus Domestica 00:18 Meet the Podcast Host: Ria Windcaller 00:52 Exploring Sorbus Domestica: History and Uses 01:25 Cider Chat Episodes Featuring Sorbus Domestica 02:39 Sorbus Domestica in France and the US 04:05 Cider News and Upcoming Events 07:53 Interview with Ben Kunesh: Chocolate Pears 08:33 The Unique Characteristics of Sorbus Domestica 17:25 Sorbus Domestica Around the World 21:03 The Versatility and Adaptability of Sorbus Domestica 24:20 The Future of Sorbus Domestica in Orchards 25:49 Sorbus Domestica: A Historical Perspective 27:34 Ben's Travels and Discoveries 34:25 Exploring Sorbus Domestica Variations 35:30 Propagation Techniques and Genetic Diversity 37:29 Historical Context and Distribution 39:50 Nursery and Distribution Efforts 41:09 European Adventures and Discoveries 45:30 Tasting Sorbus Domestica Products 54:23 Future Prospects and Cultivation Tips 01:00:58 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

This week two watchdogs published reports on the Government's performance on the environment. The Office for Environmental Protection warned that, unless swift action is taken, the Government could miss 21 out of 43 legally set targets on biodiversity and protecting land and sea. Meanwhile, the National Audit Office published a report saying that substantial reform is needed in the way DEFRA, the Environment Agency, and Natural England operate. Our sister programme, Farming Today, has been exploring the UK cheese industry. We visit a Somerset cheddar maker, a goat's cheese maker in Carmarthenshire, and an exporter making the most of growing demand for UK cheese around the world.It may be more than a week since Storm Goretti unleashed hurricane force winds on Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly but rural businesses are still clearing up the wreckage.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

The National Audit Office, the public spending watchdog, has published a report looking at efficiency and effectiveness in England's environmental regulation. It found that complexity, outdated IT systems, skills shortages, and a risk averse culture were affecting how well DEFRA and the regulators Natural England and the Environment Agency are working. The NAO says that substantial reform is needed, but that it's optimistic there is the impetus and political will for change. The Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland outlines progress on the Sustainable Farming Programme, and on efforts to cut pollution in Lough Neagh. The lough supplies 40% of Northern Ireland's drinking water and is facing what the Minister calls a 'biodiversity and ecological crisis'.Continuing our exploration of the UK cheese industry, we visit a Somerset cheesemaker whose products are found on the shelves of several major supermarkets.Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling

During the fifty years since the launch of the Viking spacecraft to Mars, our view of the red planet has changed from hostile desert to a world which was once covered in water, and which may just possibly sustain life. Lavishly illustrated with the latest images from the fleet of spacecraft that have explored our neighbour, this lecture considers how Mars' fate, like that of Earth, was set in the Solar System's first billion years, and the chaotic environment the process of planet formation produced.This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on the 3rd of December 2025 at Conway Hall, LondonProfessor Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.Having been educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge and University College London, his research now ranges from understanding how galaxies form and evolve, to using machine learning to find the most unusual things in the Universe, to predicting the properties of visiting interstellar asteroids. He was the founder of the Zooniverse citizen science platform, which provides opportunities for more than two million online volunteers to contribute to scientific research, and which was the topic of his first book, 'The Crowd and the Cosmos'. His latest book is ‘Our Accidental Universe'. Professor Lintott is best known for presenting the BBC's long-running Sky at Night program, and as an accomplished lecturer. Away from work, he cooks, suffers through being a fan of Torquay United and Somerset cricket, and spends time with a rescued lurcher, Mr Max. He can often be found at the helm of Oxford's science comedy night, ‘Huh, That's Funny'.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/mars-loveGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

What if you could increase your bone density and reduce fractures with just a few weightlifting sessions a week? Tune in for the latest groundbreaking research on the ONERO™ program and how it's revolutionizing bone health. In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Belinda Beck, a renowned expert in exercise science and osteoporosis research. She is the mastermind behind the ONERO™ program, which has been shown to increase bone density and reduce fractures, making waves in the bone health community. We dive deep into the latest findings from the ONERO™ program, including the dose-response relationship between exercise frequency and bone density, and how even people in their later years can see significant improvements. Whether you're doing strength training once a week or twice a week, you'll learn what truly makes a difference in bone health. We also discuss the critical role of calcium in bone health, the effectiveness of exercise compared with medication, and how the ONERO™ program has become a global movement. Plus, you'll hear how the program is now expanding, with more clinics opening worldwide and bringing life-changing benefits to people with osteoporosis.   "Meds are not gonna stop you from falling.

Inniu an seachtú lá is fiche de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail. Tá suas le trian den phobal i gCív na hÚcráine gan teas lárnach inniu i ndiaidh baráiste drón agus diúracán ón Rúis. Maítear go bhfuil Moscó ag díriú ar shaoráidí fuinnimh agus ar bhonneagar sibhialta, fiú agus an teocht faoi bhun an reophointe. Beidh Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelenskyy ag dul go Floridaamárach chun bualadh le hUachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, ag súil go gcuirfidh na Meiriceánaigh brú ar an Rúis agus dúirt Zelenskyy go bhfuil plean síochána fiche pointe “nócha faoin chéad réidh”.

On a quiet summer day in rural Somerset, England, a group of siblings did what countless children before them had done: wandered toward an abandoned mansion whispered about in local legend. Built in the 1700s and later repurposed as a prisoner-of-war camp and wartime hospital, the estate loomed over the countryside like a relic that refused to rest. At first, it felt harmless. Peaceful, even. But when one child noticed a figure watching from an upper window, something shifted. A sudden crash. A chill in the air. And an overwhelming sense that they were no longer welcome. Was it a warning? A lingering presence tied to the mansion's dark past? Or something far more intelligent? Some places never let you leave untouched. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedMansion #ParanormalEncounter #MimicEntity #ShadowFigure #HauntedEngland #RealGhostStories #POWCampHaunting #ChildhoodHaunting #CreepyEncounters  Love real ghost stories?

Welcome back to the third day of the Three Ravens Christmas Feast, where we meet in the Raven Tower for an all-new festive tale of terror!Following in the tradition of M.R. James, E.F. Benson, and Charles Dickens, it feels only right to cozy up and listen to something scary on Christmas Eve.This year it's Martin's turn, with a contemporary story that finds supernatural investigators Finnegan Spenser and Oona St Clair facing down a poltergeist that's terrorizing a listed Somerset farmhouse during 'The Darkening' - an obscure pagan festival that begins at Midwinter and stretches through to Christmas Eve.They have strict orders to get home by Christmas itself, yet, as they uncover the secretive and macabre habits of their latest clients they find themselves isolated, threatened, and seeking answers to a wider conspiracy.One that might just involve the disappearance of three young women, vicious attacks by a costumed "Lord of Misrule" and the machinations of an ancient demon promising power in exchange for earthly rebirth...We really hope you enjoy it, and to see you tomorrow when, on Christmas Day, we will be serving up a three course menu of episodes featuring:Dr Sarah Clegg, author of The Dead of Winter: The Demons, Witches and Ghosts of ChristmasTaffy Thomas MBE, author of Midwinter Folk Tales and the UK's first Storyteller LaureateTony Walker, author of Christmas Ghost Stories and host of The Classic Ghost Stories podcastPlus a new Christmas song from us!We promise spooky and heartwarming tales, weird Christmas history, Ben prancing about in jingly shoes, lots of surprises, and... well, just be sure to wear something loose-fitting, as there will be plenty to go around!Three Ravens is a Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

The pond had frozen over (which doesn't happen often), and people were walking and skating on it. One person asked if I was measuring the thickness of the ice. I handed my headphones round a group of kids, and it was fun to watch their reactions to the sci-fi noises…” Snow slowly melting from a bridge next to Ribblehead viaduct, North Yorkshire, UK in early January 2025 – by Charlotte Petts Listening to the river flow as the snow melts into the water from the fields nearby,  River Wenning, Bentham, North Yorkshire, UK in early January 2025 – by Charlotte Petts Tawny Owls voicing the starry dark, the foot of Dartmoor, UK at 5am on 3rd January 2025 – by Kirsteen McNish “I stood on the doorstep to look at the stars because of the ice bright visibility and heard them calling to each other.” Primal scream atop Bernal Hill, San Francisco, USA on 20th January 2025 at 9am – by Kristina Loring “A group of organizers had distributed flyers in our neighborhood for a timely cathartic moment atop the large mountain park that overlooks the city of San Francisco and the bay. It was organized to coincide with the swearing-in of the newest conservative American regime on Inauguration day. But one's rage can't be limited to whoever is in the presidential office. We scream for a litany of injustices—an endless list that cannot be exhausted here. Many rages filled my lungs that day and escaped my mouth in an inarticulate howl.

Justice for refugees everywhere.” Dead leaves on a silver birch, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire, UK on 5th February 2025 – by Rose de Larrabeiti “I took myself to Derbyshire for a few days in early February.

How do we create the stories that will bring a whole new generation back to the web of life, that will help people find hope again, and lean into their heart's yearning for connection, relationship, being and belonging? This week's guest, Ally Kingston, is a creative facilitator and strategy lead at Purpose Disruptors, where she co-developed the breakthrough Agency for Nature, a pop-up agency bringing nature into youth culture. A former advertising strategist, she is curious about how creativity intersects with myth, meaning, consumerism and desire, and how we might design new cultural infrastructures that seed fresh possibilities for how to live.Equally committed to holding space for grief and loss in turbulent times, Ally has trained as a death doula and rites of passage holder and recently co-created the Tending to Endings card deck, a garden-inspired tool for engaging more meaningfully with loss. She is based in Somerset in the UK, where she lives with her partner, young son and lurcher. In this wide-ranging episode, we explore the nature of advertising and how an industry that has been so deeply embedded in the death cult of predatory capitalism can turn all the wild, creative magic in service of life; how the skills that push us to buy the pseudo-satisfiers can instead remind us of our original connections, and turn us towards co-creation, connection and belonging.  We talk too, about grief and how learning to compost the old system is a key to the new growth we need and want.  Ally is so multi-talented, it was a joy to explore so many ways we can bring our world back into love with life, into balance, into each of us being part of the solution and letting go of the parts of the problem.

Rob first encountered Matthew Lordeau around twenty-five years ago while they both were employed at the Orvis store in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The store was quite lively during that time, and all the staff tried to fish together whenever they could. Rob doesn't remember going fishing with Matt. Even though they went their separate ways long ago, they have maintained their connection through meetings at The Fly Fishing Show and interactions online through social media. Since their days at Orvis, Matt has tied the knot and is now the father of a lively brood of children, ranging from young nymphs to instars. His experiences in fishing, writing, and travel have motivated Matt to launch his very own podcast, Casting Across. On this podcast, listeners can hear him talk about the individuals, locations, and elements involved in the quest for fish with a focus on the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania. Rob was eager to chat with Matt about his passion for both contemporary and traditional fly fishing literature. This marks Matt's second time on the show as a podcast host. You can catch him in various episodes from the Somerset and Edison Fly Fishing Shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
