St Paul's Cathedral is in financial dire straits, with its Dean, the Very Rev Dr David Ison, admitting “very big decisions” are needed. The nearly 400-year-old building relies on international tourists to raise the cash needed for the millions of pounds worth of renovations and repairs required to keep it open. The Evening Standard's arts correspondent Robert Dex says during the pandemic those visitors have not been coming, leading to a 90% drop in revenue. He argues that the building is so important to London and the United Kingdom that the government and Church of England will have to find a way to keep it open – but other landmarks will not have the same protection.

A reflection for Palm Sunday by Dr Paula Gooder, Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, April 2020.
Hello everyone. Well we are still in the grips of the Coronavirus and Tishy and I are keeping well we hope you are too. Please make sure you are Staying at Home wherever you can. This episode was recorded 3 weeks ago before the lockdown began, when the world seemed a much safer place! This week we are walking from Southwark Bridge along to the Millennium Bridge and what a fantastic walk it was. The Globe Theatre at one end and St Paul's Cathedral at the other. Our topic this week is one we've spoken about before - Listening to your Inner Voice. If you are feeling unsure about an aspect of your life take a moment (many of us have plenty of those right now) and take stock. What is it you want to achieve? Deep down you know but too often the noise of life gets in the way. Listen to your Inner Voice, that gut feeling or intuition that shows you the right way. You don't always have to act on it but it will give you a clearer view on what is holding you back or making you unhappy. Give it a try! And as always there's our foreign phrase of the week and a very Handy Hint. Stay well and hopefully it won't be too long before we can get back to London and carry on with our tour of the Thames Bridges. Come Walk with us.

The flames gutted the medieval City of London inside the old Roman city wall, destroying 87 parish churches, St Paul's Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities. It is estimated to have destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the city's 80,000 inhabitants.

On this day in Tudor history, 3rd October 1518, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Henry VIII’s Lord Chancellor, sang a mass to Henry VIII and the French ambassadors at St Paul's Cathedral in celebration of a treaty between England and France.

Hear a contemporary description of this masque in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History".

Are you ready? We hope so because here it is, another amazing episode from the goofballs of Nerd pop-culture to entertain you once again. This week we bring you some brilliant stories that are sure to educate (we apologise for those not looking to learn, we are Nerds, you have got to expect it). There are some laughs, so grab hold, strap in and let’s get this party started.First up we have Buck with solar powered water filtration systems that are looking pretty darn good. Trust me, when you look at the science behind these you will understand why we got excited, I mean this is fantastic and the possibilities are amazing. While they are only in the early development stages the fact is that this is game changing technology to make life better.Next up DJ has news about the Steven Universe movie, that’s right, not Marvel. Now we know that some of you are going to be fans of this on many levels, I mean who doesn’t like 80’s style dance and music to solving the world’s problems. It worked for the Care Bears and the Smurfs and they are still around, let alone Bob the Builder. Now, we won’t give away the storyline and details, but just remember we can fix it.Next we have the Professor with the story of struggling game developers trying to make it big in a world full of nasty companies. This is a look at the realities of the various platforms available and the costs incurred in bringing games to an over saturated market. Think we are joking consider 40 plus games a day being released, some of which are clones. Now before anyone gets upset, software clones are not aliens who have escaped from Area 51. So, if you want to understand why Geeks and Nerds look stressed and sleep deprived this will explain it to you. Also it is why we review the games we are playing each week to try and help identifying something cool.Next is the regular shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events of interest. We take a moment in this to pay respect to the Swiss that even their train accidents are organised. While serious injuries and fatality is never a laughing matter the Swiss are the people who are so organised they make a German sweat about the details. That is it for another week, remember to take care of yourselves, stay safe, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Solar powered device - https://www.sciencenews.org/article/solar-powered-device-produces-energy-cleans-waterSteven Universe The Movie – https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/sdcc-2019-steven-universe-the-movieBarely surviving game developer - https://hackernoon.com/barely-surviving-as-a-game-developer-while-steam-gets-its-cut-7028x34z8Games currently playingBuck– Company of Heroes - https://store.steampowered.com/app/228200/Company_of_Heroes/Prof– NetHack - https://www.nethack.org/DJ– Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Game of the Year Edition - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4570/Warhammer_40000_Dawn_of_War__Game_of_the_Year_Edition/Other topics discussedSalt as a form of currency- https://encyclopedia-of-money.blogspot.com/2011/10/salt-currency.htmlThe Bush Tucker Man (Australian Bushman)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_HiddinsThe Bush Tucker Man finding water- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQcYlUUSRVcSteven Universe (2013 TV series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_UniverseSteven Universe posters- TV series poster - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNTNjMTM1YWYtZWQ3Yy00OGI1LWEyZjUtYTk3OTk5NGIxMzIyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMzM4NjcxOTc@._V1_.jpg- Steven Universe the movie poster - https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/steven-universe/images/4/41/SU_Movie_Poster.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/666?cb=20190710090429Steven Universe Music- List of songs - https://steven-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Music- Every song on Steven Universe - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-Irgf54fD8Blockchain (Cryptography terminology)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlockchainShareware (Downloadable software)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SharewareIndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Temple_of_DoomPython (programming language)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)Infiniminer (2009 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachtronics#InfiniminerHarry Potter in Minecraft- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoIXD0Tz6qEEvent Horizon (1997 Sci-Fi horror movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Horizon_(film)Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (2011 game)- https://store.steampowered.com/app/55150/Warhammer_40000_Space_Marine/Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution (1984 book by Steven Levy)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_RevolutionSlaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress or Dwarf Fortress (2006 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_FortressCataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (2013 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataclysm:_Dark_Days_AheadVan Goh painting in Queensland- https://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/southeast/its-all-van-gogh-at-this-school-thanks-to-former-student/news-story/7910a77db99e679fa0d0936be2b7415cLoving Vincent (2017 movie)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_VincentVincent and the Doctor (Dr Who episode)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_and_the_DoctorVincent (Don Mclean song)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_(Don_McLean_song)David Hahn (Radioactive Boy Scout or Nuclear Boy Scout)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn1997 Thredbo Landslide- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Thredbo_landslideMusicals Taught Me Everything I Know (TNC podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/mtmeikShoutouts29 Jul 2005 – Eris’ discovery was announced by the team of Mike Brown,Chad Trujillo, and David Rabinowitz. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(dwarf_planet)29 Jul 2013 - Two passenger trains were involved in a head-on collision at Granges-près-Marnand, Switzerland, killing one person and injuring 25 others. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granges-pr%C3%A8s-Marnand_train_crash31 Jul 1715 - A hurricane strikes the east coast of Florida, sinking 10 Spanish treasure ships and killing nearly 1,000 people, on this day in 1715.

In 1787, he came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti-slave-trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Wilberforce was convinced of the importance of religion, morality and education. He championed causes and campaigns such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice, British missionary work in India, the creation of a free colony in Sierra Leone, the foundation of the Church Mission Society, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In later years, Wilberforce supported the campaign for the complete abolition of slavery, and continued his involvement after 1826, when he resigned from Parliament because of his failing health. That campaign led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire. He died from illness at the age of 73 in London. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilberforce29 Jul 1890 - Vincent van Gogh, Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes,portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His reputation began to grow in the early 20th century as elements of his painting style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical, commercial and popular success over the ensuing decades, and is remembered as an important but tragic painter, whose troubled personality typifies the romantic ideal of the tortured artist. Today, Van Gogh's works are among the world's most expensive paintings to have ever sold at auction, and his legacy is honoured by a museum in his name, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which holds the world's largest collection of his paintings and drawings. He died from suicide at the age of 37 in Auvers-sur-Oise. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh29 Jul 1982 - Vladimir K. Zworykin, American inventor, engineer, and pioneer of television technology. Zworykin invented a television transmitting and receiving system employing cathode ray tubes. He played a role in the practical development of television from the early thirties, including charge storage-type tubes, infrared image tubes and the electron microscope.

Her case became highly publicized due to the graphic nature of the crime. It is commonly held that Short was an aspiring actress, though she had no known acting credits or jobs during her time in Los Angeles. She would acquire the nickname of the Black Dahlia posthumously, as newspapers of the period often nicknamed particularly lurid crimes; the term may have originated from a film noir murder mystery, The Blue Dahlia, released in April 1946. Short's unsolved murder and the details surrounding it have had a lasting cultural intrigue, generating various theories and public speculation. Her life and death have been the basis of numerous books and films, and her murder is frequently cited as one of the most famous unsolved murders in American history, as well as one of the oldest unsolved cases in Los Angeles County.
