Musician Matthew Herbert explores the art of the loop SAT and the million-dollar industry that has grown up around it, SAT and asks whether it is setting music makers free from the SAT constraints of traditional instruments or killing SAT creativity. SAT SAT Loops are pre-recorded performances, typically of a solo SAT instrument, and typically 1 or 2 bars long. Looping isn't SAT new - it started soon after the advent of tape recorders. SAT But recent advances in computer technology and software mean SAT that effects which once needed a full-scale studio costing SAT thousands of pounds can be created for little or no cost on SAT a laptop or even a mobile phone. A CD of loops costing £10 SAT can be used to make a million-selling international hit, but SAT who is the real composer? SAT SAT Matthew once made an entire album from the sounds of a SAT single pig's life, so he's no stranger to the benefits of SAT loops and sampling. He talks to producers, musicians and SAT loop-creators and experiments with technology ancient and SAT modern; he hears from looping's defenders and detractors and SAT looks into a musical future which he finds fascinating but SAT many find terrifying. SAT SAT And, along the way, he builds a dance track out of a Radio 4 SAT Continuity announcer. SAT SAT Produced by Micky Curling SAT A Folded Wing production for BBC Radio 4.

Bush fires in SAT Australia: Jim Carey on what can be learned from the SAT Aborigines, who spent tens of thousands of years controlling SAT the land. The modern world is closing in on the Amish SAT communities of the US, but Beth McLeod says they're not SAT dying out. They are, in fact, thriving.

SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b03wgt99 (Listen) SAT Savings teaser rates; Payday lenders; Care bugbears; iPad SAT fraud alert SAT SAT On Money Box with Paul Lewis: SAT SAT An end to savings teaser rate? Nationwide building society SAT has ended teaser rates on savings accounts. But existing SAT customers will stay on the old rates unless they ask to SAT move. The loss-making RBS - which scrapped teaser rates on SAT savings some time ago - is simplifying its range and moving SAT customers into one of three new savings accounts. Some may SAT end up worse off. Is this a trend? SAT SAT From April 1st Britain's most powerful regulator - the SAT Financial Conduct Authority - takes over responsibility from SAT the OFT for all consumer credit firms. This week it revealed SAT the new rules they will have to follow. Its boss, Martin SAT Wheatley, has told the programme they will make credit SAT harder to get as affordability checks will have to be more SAT thorough. But will it really get tough and stamp out poor SAT lending practises by payday lenders? SAT SAT With fees for residential care averaging more than £530 a SAT week getting some or all of them paid by the local council SAT is a valuable prize. No fees are paid if capital assets SAT exceed £23,250 (£25,250 in Scotland and £23,750 in Wales). SAT But elderly people who are tempted to give assets away to SAT get the council to pay a contribution may be caught by the SAT so-called 'deliberate deprivation' rules. And the council SAT may be able to make the relative who got the money pay the SAT fees. Money Box unpacks the complex rules. SAT SAT Money Box has found that a major bank has allowed thieves to SAT pay for Apple products using stolen identities because it SAT did not apply a basic security check. One couple was pursued SAT for months for a debt that was not theirs for i-Pads they SAT had not bought. Hear their story in Bob Howard's report.

SAT SAT Meet the original Generation X - teenagers who in 1964 SAT seemed to embody a new sense of rebellion, but also SAT uncertainty and anxiety about their changing world. X stood SAT for mystery - the unknowable future. SAT SAT 50 years on, oral historian Alan Dein tracks down some of SAT the original Generation X'ers, to confront them with their SAT teenage selves. SAT SAT Interviewed by the editor of Woman's Own magazine, a diverse SAT group of young people answered a range of questions about SAT their lives. Sex, drink, music and religion all featured - SAT but so did bird-watching in rural Cumbria. The subsequent SAT book was a landmark - a platform for teenagers to give their SAT views, to the consternation of some of their elders. SAT SAT "Most nights I sit in coffee bars with my friends talking SAT about cars and girls.." SAT "Why are people in authority so stupid?" SAT "You'd hate an adult to understand you..." SAT "I'd marry anyone to spite my parents." SAT "Security is a killer, corrodes your mind but I wish I had SAT it." SAT SAT So what happened to those teenagers, wonders Alan Dein, SAT joined by teen experts Jon Savage and Melanie Tebbutt, and SAT how did their hopes and dreams turn out? He tracks down some SAT of the original speakers to find out. SAT SAT He also uncovers a wealth of atmospheric BBC archive from SAT the 1930s onwards, exploring the changing perception of the SAT teenager, such as "To Start You Talking" from 1943, which SAT dramatised the fate of "Good Time Annie", to make up for the SAT lack of guidance amongst young people - as fathers were away SAT fighting, mothers at work, and VD on the rise.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b03w18fl (Listen) SAT The Morality of Nationalism SAT SAT This week the Moral Maze looks at the morality of SAT nationalism. In Ukraine and the UK people are fighting and SAT in the former case dying over the idea and the ideals of SAT nationhood. Those are just the biggest headlines today; SAT without pausing to think too hard you might add Syria, the SAT Basque and Catalan regions of Spain and Tibet to the list SAT and that's just from the news in the last seven days - let SAT alone going further back in history to the breakup of SAT Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Chechnya and Ireland. Nationalism and SAT the struggle for national identity is a complex moral SAT puzzle. What makes nationalism such a powerful and morally SAT problematic force in our lives is the interplay of old SAT feelings of communal loyalty and relatively new beliefs SAT about popular sovereignty. On the one hand it undoubtedly SAT expresses something deep in human nature - a yearning for SAT self-determination and justice. But it can also come with SAT darker tribal undertones of "us" and "them" and has been SAT seen all too often through ethnic cleansing and genocide. To SAT what extent should people be permitted to act on the basis SAT of loyalty to those to whom they are specially related by SAT culture, race or language? Are there benign forms of SAT nationalism? Should enlightened people repudiate SAT nationalism? What value should we attach to cultural SAT diversity? Given the current examples of how nationalism can SAT sometimes seem to be a force for good, and sometimes a force SAT for very great evil what are the moral underpinnings of SAT nationalism? SAT SAT Combative, provocative and engaging debate chaired by SAT Michael Buerk with Melanie Phillips, Anne McElvoy, Matthew SAT Taylor and Giles Fraser. SAT SAT Witnesses are John Breuilly, Edward Lucas, Philippe Legrain SAT and Gideon Calder. SAT SAT Produced by Phil Pegum.

Mrs Hoffman looks like a promising target - but SUN there is something creepy about the rose in her front SUN garden. SUN SUN Heidi Amsinck, a writer and journalist born in Copenhagen, SUN has covered Britain for the Danish press since 1992, SUN including a spell as London Correspondent for the broadsheet SUN daily Jyllands-Posten. Heidi has written numerous short SUN stories for radio including, most recently, the three story SUN set Danish Noir (2010), which was also produced by Sweet SUN Talk for BBC Radio 4. A graduate of the MA in Creative SUN Writing at Birkbeck, University of London, Heidi lives in SUN Surrey with her husband and two young sons.

SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b03wgy6s (Listen) SUN Crossbills SUN SUN Crossbills, so named due to the overlapping tips of their SUN bills, are finches with large heads and bright colours: the SUN males are red and the females are olive green. What makes SUN them so unusual is that the tips of their beaks are crossed SUN over; allowing them to rip into pine cones and extract the SUN seeds. Different species of crossbills have different sized SUN bills, which have evolved in association with the species of SUN cones they eat. The Common Crossbill is found across the UK SUN all year round and its numbers have been boosted by the SUN planting of commercial conifers such as pine and larch. A SUN real prize for birdwatchers is the larger and much rarer SUN Parrot Crossbill, which has a very deep bill and can tackle SUN the biggest and thickest cones. Parrot Crossbills breed in SUN very small numbers in the UK, almost exclusively in native SUN pinewoods in Scotland. In winter 2013/14 small flocks of SUN parrot crossbills arrived in eastern England including SUN Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire. SUN SUN Presenter Trai Anfield and ornithologist Ian Newton, who has SUN studied the movements of crossbills, take the rare SUN opportunity to track down this flock, which probably SUN irrupted from the breeding forests in Scandinavia. SUN Population irruptions occur when the pine crop fails in SUN their native countries and so the birds wander widely in SUN search of a fresh supply. If food supplies in Sherwood SUN Forest run out, the birds could disperse at any moment, so SUN the search for these unusual and colourful species will be a SUN gripping one for all involved, listeners included.

SUN SUN Epilepsy Action SUN Today, in the UK, over 600,000 people have epilepsy. For SUN many, epilepsy will be a lifelong condition. With the right SUN advice some will be able to control their seizures with SUN drugs. But imagine living with seizures and the impact SUN epilepsy has on health, relationships, work and everyone SUN around you for the rest of your life. Our Epilepsy Helpline SUN and on-line support are one-to-one services that people with SUN epilepsy and those who care for them have called a lifeline. SUN At the same time, local groups and events support people in SUN their own communities. Epilepsy can be an isolating SUN condition, so this support network for people with epilepsy, SUN carers and families, can make all the difference. We improve SUN healthcare – we have placed over 90 Sapphire Nurses - SUN specialists in this complex neurological condition. We fund SUN research to increase understanding of epilepsy and SUN ultimately improve diagnosis and treatment for people with SUN the condition. We fight for a better future, campaigning for SUN change nationally – for a fair chance to get a good SUN education and a job and to receive the right care. SUN SUN SUN Coffee and chat groups SUN Coffee and chat groups are being set up all across the SUN country. These give people living with epilepsy the chance SUN to meet each other in ordinary venues like cafes, tea rooms SUN and coffee shops. They offer a relaxed way to meet new SUN people, share experiences and get information on how to SUN learn more about epilepsy. SUN SUN SUN Family events SUN From an indoor Epilepsy Weekend for All to Epilepsy on the SUN Beach, we provide families with opportunities to learn more SUN about their condition and its treatment. They can also SUN acquire new skills to ease living with the condition. SUN SUN Advice and information SUN There are many different types of seizure and each person SUN experiences epilepsy in a way that is unique to them. That SUN is why a free, one-to-one advice service is so important. SUN Callers to the Epilepsy Helpline are guaranteed a friendly SUN welcome and can discuss their concerns confidentially.

SUN She lost her father when she was just twelve and says she SUN was never part of a close-knit family. SUN SUN As a grown-up, all she wanted was to quit the rat race and SUN be an island crofter, but after a decade she left her dream SUN behind in favour of a more stable income and a secondary SUN school for her children.

SUN SUN 13:30 I've Played in Every Toilet b03trs7b (Listen) SUN John Harris visits some of Britain's surviving small music SUN venues and asks what will happen if they disappear SUN altogether. SUN SUN All over the UK, small music venues are threatened with SUN closure, or have already gone out of business. Many of them SUN have hosted gigs by truly legendary names and were once SUN securely built into the so-called 'toilet circuit', which SUN allowed promising musicians to take their first tentative SUN steps on the national stage. Without them, we may not have SUN heard from Coldplay, Oasis, Blur - or such contemporary SUN talents as The Vaccines and Mumford and Sons. But crushed by SUN powerful landlords and the rising expectation that music - SUN whether live or recorded - should be free, these places are SUN struggling as never before. SUN SUN John's journey takes in The Forum in Tunbridge Wells, once SUN an actual public toilet, which has survived over the last SUN twenty years because the volunteers that run it haven't SUN profited from the business. He also travels to Hull to visit SUN the Adelphi Club, a semi-detached house on one of the city's SUN residential streets which has hosted bands such as Pulp, SUN Green Day and Radiohead. Manager Paul Jackson says things SUN have been tougher than ever for the venue, but he's SUN determined to carry on. SUN SUN Finally John visits Newport, once home to the legendary TJ's SUN where Kurt Cobain famously proposed to Courtney Love. SUN Speaking to the daughter of the former owner John Sicolo and SUN Nicky Wire from Manic Street Preachers, he finds out what SUN happens when a town loses its beloved venue. SUN SUN He also speaks to DJ Steve Lamacq and journalist Kate SUN Mossman to consider how - without these venues run on a mix SUN of hope and blind faith - we will discover the next SUN generation of musicians. SUN SUN Producer: Simon Jacobs SUN A Unique production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b03w39wt (Listen) SUN British Geological Survey, Nottingham SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from the SUN British Geological Survey headquarters in Nottingham. Chris SUN Beardshaw, Matt Biggs and Pippa Greenwood answer the SUN questions from the audience of local gardeners. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions: SUN SUN Q. What would the panel suggest to plant in a sunny garden SUN to celebrate a Silver Wedding Anniversary to a geologist? SUN SUN A. Lithops look fantastic on a sunny windowsill; they look SUN like little stones, which means you will get the best of SUN both geological and horticultural worlds. Another suggestion SUN would be a Monkey Puzzle tree, one of the earliest trees to SUN form, or a carnivorous plant such as the Venus Fly Trap. SUN Ferns would be recommended, particularly the Dryopteris SUN erythrosora and finally, in a sunny garden the Rock Rose SUN would be a good suggestion. SUN SUN Q. Can the panel suggest a ground-covering plant overhung by SUN a large Leylandii tree, Rhododendron ponticum and holly? The SUN soil is acidic with lots of shallow roots from nearby trees. SUN SUN A. It would be recommended to investigate ferns, for example SUN the hearts tongue fern which can be found in both dry and SUN moist soils. Silicium hederifolium may grow well as it is SUN often found in woodland under pines in acidic conditions. SUN Also Lamiums, Vincas and Periwinkles are recommended, SUN particularly the Vinca minor. Geranium macrorrhizum could SUN work around the edges of your area. Plant deep on the SUN perimeter where there is more moisture available and try and SUN train the plants inwards and the roots will grow under as SUN far as they can. Finally Trachystemon orientalis, the Alpine SUN Strawberry (you won't get fruit but it will have good ground SUN cover) and Euphorbia robbiae are also recommended. SUN SUN Q. How do I start growing asparagus on my allotment? SUN SUN A. Start from an established crown and it would be ideal to SUN create a raised bed to avoid waterlogging if you have a wet SUN or clay based soil, because while they do like a lot of SUN moisture they hate being too wet. Having a bed of their own SUN would also help with weeding to avoid damaging the SUN asparagus. Avoid harvesting them too early, the recommended SUN timescale would be to wait 3 years. Ideally have the bed SUN south facing and mulch over the surface. SUN SUN Q. How can I encourage my Cycas to bulk up? SUN SUN A. Cycas are very slow growing and need to be kept moist. SUN You should feed them once a month with half-strength general SUN fertiliser. They rely on warmth, humidity and good light SUN levels. You should also avoid over-feeding when growing a SUN Cycas. Other ancient plants to consider growing are: Wollemi SUN pines, Dicksonias & Equisetum.

SUN SUN Each year the number of deaths in every hospital in England SUN is recorded and compared with national averages for the SUN range of patients and conditions treated. The results are SUN published by a company called Dr Foster in The Hospital SUN Guide. SUN SUN The Guide has a solid reputation. Its findings are studied SUN and used by leaders of the NHS. Dr Foster's statistical SUN expert says that high mortality statistics should act as a SUN 'smoke alarm' raising investigation of standards at a SUN hospital. The Care Quality Commission praises Dr Foster's SUN "powerful analysis of hospital trusts" and the Health SUN Secretary says: "We expect all hospitals to examine this SUN data carefully and take action wherever services need to SUN improve". SUN SUN But some leading statisticians question the reliability of SUN mortality statistics as an indication of clinical quality. SUN And they believe that many pockets of poor practice go SUN undetected in hospitals with good mortality scores. SUN SUN Critics also see the publication of such data as an SUN invitation to the press to distort the available evidence by SUN calculating numbers of 'needless deaths' within the NHS. SUN Such calculations have in fact been produced and then given SUN widespread publicity. The NHS Medical Director calls them SUN "clinically meaningless and academically reckless". But they SUN continue to make the front pages. SUN SUN Gerry Northam reports from hospitals which have "worryingly SUN high" mortality statistics according to Dr Foster and asks SUN how much this really shows about their quality of care.

MON MON Why do so many women think their men have Asperger's MON syndrome? Is there a hidden mental health epidemic, or have MON the rules of relationships changed? Asperger's only entered MON the textbooks in 1994, but since then there's been an MON explosion in the number of people diagnosed. Mostly it's MON male children, but increasingly, women seem to be diagnosing MON their adult partners as being "on the spectrum". MON MON But the diagnostic criteria for Asperger's are vague and, MON some argue, arbitrary. One criterion is that the person is MON bad at social interaction. The other is that they have to MON have restricted interests. In the case of the mature male, MON it's hard to work out what distinguishes Asperger's - which MON is in the textbooks as a "mental disorder" - from the MON behaviour of a "neurotypical" man who tends towards shyness, MON introversion, or selfishness. Today's men are required to be MON more emotional in relationships than their fathers and MON grandfathers. Does the fact that some struggle in this MON respect mean that Asperger's is being uncovered where MON previously it would have been hidden? MON MON Jolyon Jenkins talks to women frustrated at their husbands' MON lack of empathy, sociability, and romantic impulses, and to MON clinicians who specialise in the diagnosis and counselling MON of people with Asperger's. He also talks to the man largely MON responsible for getting Asperger's into the psychiatric MON textbooks, who now regrets his role and believes that it had MON led to the "pathologising of normal behaviour".

Digital gurus, high tech MON web designers and some of the university's best professors MON debate how to bring alive Harvard's next MOOC. MON MON MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) started in the U.S. just MON over two years ago and have caused a storm of controversy MON there. In the UK, the Open University has launched its own MON version but it's still in the early days here. MON MON Some argue these free university online courses, presented MON by some of the best professors in the world, could - in cash MON strapped times - be the saviour of higher education. Others MON argue they could destroy centuries of tradition and even MON threaten some of the world's greatest universities. MON MON For the second programme in this series looking at the MON phenomenal changes in education being brought about by MON technology, Sarah Montague travels to Boston (home to MON Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to MON talk to those at the forefront of this MOOC "revolution". MON MON Harvard and MIT have joined forces to form edX - one of the MON biggest MOOC providers in the States. Professor Anant MON Agarwal, President of MIT, tells Sarah about when they put MON their first MOOC online. He says they thought they'd MON probably get a couple of thousand students enrolling. MON "Within the first few hours we had 10,000 students. By the MON time the course started, we'd got 155,000 students from 163 MON countries....more than the total number of alumni of MIT in MON its 150 year history". MON MON Professor Michael Sandel, whose online course has been MON watched by millions around the world, shows Sarah round the MON Sanders lecture theatre in Harvard where he delivers his MON famous "Justice" course. He says MOOCs have provided an MON opportunity "really to engage students from across national MON and cultural boundaries - students from Brazil, from India, MON from China and Japan - grappling with Aristotle and Kant and MON John Stuart Mill, that's what excites me". MON MON MOOCs have been heralded as opening university up to many MON people who would not otherwise get a university education. MON Sarah talks to Claude Mukendi - who grew up in the MON Democratic Republic of Congo in a family of fourteen. He'd MON always dreamed of going to university but thought it would MON never happen. One day he was sitting at his computer and MON came across a MOOC being offered by Harvard. "We all know MON Harvard is only for the lucky few" Claude tells Sarah. "I MON thought it was an internet scam...I was blown away". MON MON But many questions are now being asked about MOOCs. The vast MON majority of those taking courses have already got a degree. MON And there are concerns about the effects these courses will MON have on the universities themselves. MON MON Professor Mitch Duneier, the well-known Sociologist from MON Princeton university, is another MOOC "superstar". He loved MON teaching his MOOC. "I had more response to my sociology MON ideas in the first three weeks of the course than I'd had in MON a lifetime of teaching". But he's now stopped teaching his MON MOOC. He became aware that his course was being used by MON other universities in an attempt - he believes - to save MON money. "I don't want to be associated with a movement that's MON looking like it's going to be putting colleagues and future MON professors out of business". MON Sarah asks what the university of the future will look like MON and what university is actually "for". And as she sits in on MON a class given by the Pulitzer prize-winner Professor Stephen MON Greenblatt, she ponders whether magical moments in learning MON might be lost if university went "online". MON MON Producer: Adele Armstrong. MON MON 20:30 Analysis b03wpf5c (Listen) MON Scotland and the Union: Can Britain be Rebooted? MON MON Is there any such thing as unionism, and what is the case MON for the union? MON MON On September 18th, Scotland will vote in a referendum on MON whether to become independent. Supporters have been setting MON out their visions of how Scotland could be transformed. But MON what about those who want to keep Scotland within the United MON Kingdom? They've picked away at potential practical problems MON with independence - on sharing the pound sterling, or MON joining the European Union. But while the future may be MON unclear for an independent Scotland, the alternative of MON staying British may be just as unclear. MON MON Douglas Fraser asks if there's a grand vision for those who MON argue Scotland should stay in the union. Is it more than MON just an appeal to a shared history or institutions? Is the MON union fit for purpose in the 21st century? These aren't just MON questions for Scotland. They represent a challenge to the MON rest of the UK - how can democratic and economic power be MON distributed to tackle disaffection with politics and the MON centralising pull of London?

Up MON until this time, he had never had much interest in insects, MON but so astonished and bewitched was he by "this beautiful" MON insect which had landed on his shirt, that he decided to MON find out more about dragonflies and in time that led to the MON founding of The Dragonfly Project to enthuse and educate MON people about dragonflies. In August 2013, Ruary 'handed over MON the baton' of the Dragonfly Project to The British Dragonfly MON Society who will continue this work alongside their own work MON to conserve dragonflies and their wetland habitats, but MON Ruary's eagerness to share his enthusiasm for these insects MON continues "I don't know what it is about dragonflies ... MON they absolutely electrify me ... I get so excited when I see MON them in the air". In this programme, Ruary searches for MON dragonflies and their larvae amongst the reeds and watery MON places of Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire and offers a MON fascinating insight into their lives. He's not disappointed MON there are common and ruddy darters, as well as brown and MON migrant hawkers darting, dashing and hovering over the MON reeds, or ovipositing their eggs in the water. Robin Wootton MON describes their extraordinary versatility; "They really have MON all the capabilities of a helicopter but they do it much MON quicker" and Milly Sharkey reveals how these insects can see MON colour and polarised light, even underwater in the larval MON stage; an advantage in a murky pond. Dragonflies can be MON traced back in the fossil record over 300 million years, and MON yet we still have much to learn about these 'Horse Stingers' MON and 'Devils Darning Needles' as they were once called, being MON falsely believed to sting or bite, when instead they are MON quite harmless. Just 'like a little piece of flying crystal' MON says Ruary. MON Producer Sarah Blunt.

TUE TUE For the next two weeks in One to One, Emma tries to get to TUE resolve this contradiction by talking to women who also TUE wrestle with this dilemma; when the values you hold in TUE secular life are not the same as those in your religious TUE life, those you hold in your public life may not be the same TUE as those in your private life. TUE TUE Emma says; 'This is an uncomfortable position, I want to rid TUE my brain of these views, which don't make sense to me in my TUE daily life.

Drought as well as local TUE pressures from grazing, logging and pests are threatening TUE the survival of Morocco's endemic forests of Atlas Cedars. TUE Professional tree climber James Aldred who grew up TUE surrounded by trees in the New Forest is passionate about TUE trees and tree climbing. It's not so much the technical TUE challenges of climbing that James enjoys but the opportunity TUE to explore the character, structure and ecology of the tree TUE as he gains a unique perspective by climbing up high into TUE the tree's canopy. So, James travels to Morocco to explore TUE these ancient forests and reflect on the challenges facing TUE them. He also finds a suitable tree to climb and sleep in TUE overnight. From his tree top hammock, he watches a spider TUE abseiling on its silken thread and hears owls calling TUE through the darkness. He wakes before sunrise and climbs to TUE the top of the tree to look out across this vast ancient TUE forest in the early morning light. Its an unforgettable TUE experience. Back on the ground, James discovers a fenced-off TUE area in the forest containing tiny cedar seedlings and some TUE young saplings - a sign of hope that these threatened Atlas TUE Cedar forests may yet have a future. TUE TUE 11:30 Creating Pitch-Perfect b01shwkq (Listen) TUE Audiences need never suffer out-of-tune singing again, TUE thanks to the development of pitch-correction software. But TUE as well as correcting the inadequate, it has become a tool TUE for new and creative ways of performing and recording. TUE TUE Presenter Catherine Bott is a Classical singer, broadcaster TUE and experienced session musician. She visits a recording TUE studio to see how the software works, and bravely submits TUE her own voice for analysis by deliberately singing out of TUE tune. TUE TUE Surprisingly, one of the best-known examples of pitch TUE correction software - Auto-Tune - was developed by a former TUE oil industry engineer working on the development of acoustic TUE tests for interpreting seismic data. Dr Andy Hildebrand TUE realised that the same technology could be used to analyse TUE and modify pitch in audio files without affecting vocal TUE quality. Catherine talks to Andy about how he came to TUE develop the software. TUE TUE Catherine also looks at the creative use of pitch correction TUE software - starting with the iconic use of the effect in TUE Cher's 1998 single Believe, where extreme use of the effect TUE creates a robotic vocal style used later by Kanye West and TUE Channy Leaneagh singer with from the band Poliça. She visits TUE composer and producer Steve Pycroft in his studio to see how TUE the effect can be used on her vocals on a specially-arranged TUE piece of Baroque music. TUE TUE And the negative side of pitch correction is also explored - TUE is it encouraging singers to be lazy, knowing that any TUE tuning errors can always be 'fixed in the mix'? TUE TUE With contributions from studio engineers Tom Bailey and Olga TUE Fitzroy, music critics Tom Ewing and Neil McKenzie, and TUE Channy Leaneagh of Poliça.

TUE TUE In this series, five people from very different spheres of TUE life reflect on what failure has taught them personally and TUE explain what value those lessons have in their worlds.

Thanks to reforms in the way the TUE public sector is run, the "Big Four" accountancy firms and TUE the accountancy profession generally has become more TUE powerful and more influential than ever before. But what do TUE these accountants actually do and what does it mean for TUE taxpayers? TUE TUE To find out, Simon Cox meets the residents of Birmingham, TUE who are dealing with the reality of the accountants' TUE decisions. And he speaks to the nation's top accountants to TUE ask how their profession is changing and what the future TUE holds. TUE TUE The last 20 years have seen many services which used to be TUE run by local councils outsourced to the private sector. TUE Capita, formed by a former government accountant, has taken TUE the lion's share of these contracts, which often involve a TUE team of Capita accountants deciding where to make cuts in TUE local services. In Birmingham a massive IT and 'business TUE transformation' contract between Capita and the City Council TUE is proving highly controversial - with claims that it is TUE diverting money away from public services and into private TUE sector profit. TUE TUE Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) form another kind of TUE management model which accountants helped create and which TUE added to the growth of the Big Four accountancy firms - TUE Deloitte, Ernst and Young, KPMG and PriceWaterhouseCoopers - TUE over the last two decades. Birmingham is home to one of the TUE biggest PFI contracts ever signed, with a private contractor TUE in charge of roads, trees and street lights. Have the TUE accountants engineered a good deal for Birmingham? TUE TUE The next big growth area for the accountants is the NHS as TUE doctors seek their help in commissioning and managing local TUE services under the health service reforms.

But Red Army volunteers, under WED heavy fire, went hand over hand along the chains to WED establish a bridge head on the other side saving the day. WED Edward Stourton talks to witnesses of the battle to find out WED if it lives up to its mythological status. He also hears WED more first hand accounts of the suffering of the marchers WED and the ruthless determination it took to survive. On some WED sections people were so hungry they gathered undigested WED grains from the faeces of those who'd gone before to wash WED and eat again. We'll also tell the story of Mao's secret WED daughter - his wife, like other women who gave birth on the WED March, was forced to leave her child behind - mystery still WED surrounds the fate of the little girl who was left with a WED peasant family.

Laurie Taylor WED talks to Gregory Clark, Professor of Economics at the WED University of California, Davis, about movement up the WED social ladder over 8 centuries, from medieval England to WED modern Sweden.

His conclusion is that mobility WED rates are less than are often estimated and are resistant to WED social policies. It may take hundreds of years for WED descendants to move beyond inherited advantages, as well as WED disadvantages. He's joined by Andrew Miles, Reader in WED Sociology at the CRESC, University of Manchester and author WED of the only systematic study of historical social mobility WED in the UK. WED WED Also, elite graduates and global ambition. Sally Power, WED Professorial Fellow at the School of Social Sciences at WED Cardiff University, talks about a comparative study which WED finds that British students from top universities seek WED worldwide opportunities, whereas their French counterparts WED wish to 'serve' France.
