SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b040qxkl (Listen) SAT B is for Bauhaus: An A-Z of the Modern World, Episode 5 SAT SAT An essential tool kit for understanding the modern world, by SAT the Director of London's Design Museum, Deyan Sudjic. SAT SAT Not a dictionary, though it attempts to tell you all you SAT need know about everything from Authenticity to Zips. It's SAT not an autobiography either, though it does offer a SAT revealing and highly personal inside view of contemporary SAT culture. SAT SAT It's about what makes a Warhol a genuine fake, the creation SAT of national identities, the mania to collect. It's also SAT about the world seen from the rear view mirror of Grand SAT Theft Auto V, and digital ornament and why we value SAT imperfection. It's about drinking a bruisingly dry martini SAT in Adolf Loo's American bar in Vienna, and about Hitchcock's SAT film sets. It's about fashion and technology, about politics SAT and art. SAT SAT Born in London, Deyan Sudjic studied architecture in SAT Edinburgh, edited Domus in Milan, was the director of the SAT Venice architecture biennale, and a curator in Glasgow, SAT Istanbul and Copenhagen. He's the author of The Language of SAT Things and The Edifice Complex. SAT SAT Episode 5: SAT SAT W is for War and whether design collections are really the SAT place for weapons?

SAT SAT 06:07 Open Country b040lnd2 (Listen) SAT Heritage Cotton Mills, Derbyshire SAT SAT Helen Mark visits the Derwent Valley, an area dotted with SAT old, looming cotton mill structures to discover what the SAT future holds for these 'industrial giants' of the landscape. SAT SAT At the turn of the 19th Century, Britain was world leader in SAT cotton manufacturing and home to the largest industrial SAT complexes on the planet. The last spinning machines closed SAT in 2003 and the UK now produces zero amount of cotton, but SAT the awesome brick structures still tower over the Derbyshire SAT Countryside. Stretching 15 miles down the river valley from SAT Matlock Bath to Derby, the Derwent Valley World Heritage SAT Site contains a fascinating series of historic mill SAT complexes, including some of the world's first 'modern' SAT factories. But how can these structures remain relevant SAT rather than redundant? Visiting Cromford Mills, The Belper SAT River Gardens and the beautiful natural landscape that SAT surrounds these giant structures, Helen meets the people SAT whose passion keeps this history alive. SAT SAT 06:30 Farming Today b041441s (Listen) SAT Farming Today This Week: Flooding Special SAT SAT Charlotte Smith and a panel of four experts take a look at SAT the issue of flooding, after the wettest winter on record. SAT Pete Fox, head of strategy at the Environment Agency, SAT Professor Phil Haygarth, a water and soil expert from SAT Lancaster University, Ian Moodie, flood management adviser SAT at the National Farmers' Union, and environmentalist and SAT journalist George Monbiot discuss how farming contributes to SAT flooding, and how it might also offer solutions.

How do you SAT spot a forgery in the art market? How can you tell if a SAT medicine is a useless or even harmful fake which might make SAT your illness even worse? Bridget Kendall is joined by SAT Ghanaian anti-counterfeiting entrepreneur Bright Simons; art SAT auctioneer and author of Breakfast at Sotheby's - An A-Z of SAT the Art World Philip Hook; and art historian Winnie Wong SAT whose new book Van Gogh on Demand takes us on a trip to SAT China, to a village where every year millions of copies of SAT well-known oil paintings are churned out to be distributed SAT for sale in around the world. Photo courtesy of Getty Images SAT SAT Bright Simons SAT SAT Bright is a Ghanaian technology innovator, development SAT activist and social entrepreneur. He is President of the SAT mPedigree Network, a system that empowers consumers in SAT Africa and South Asia to instantly verify with a free text SAT message whether their medicines are safe and not SAT counterfeit. He believes counterfeit drugs find lucrative SAT markets in places where people have low expectations of SAT Western medicine. If the drug does not have the desired SAT effect they are much less likely to report it; as it is not SAT considered to be the medicine that is at fault, but SAT themselves. SAT SAT Philip Hook SAT SAT Philip is senior director of Impressionist and Modern art at SAT Sotheby’s in London. His most recent book, Breakfast at SAT Sotheby’s – An A-Z of the Art World explains how he SAT authenticates a painting and how to spot a fake. He says SAT modern art is the faker’s period of choice, because unlike SAT with Old Masters the aim is no longer simply an accurate SAT rendering of nature; and modern art has a more clear-cut SAT distinction of style, which is more easily imitable. SAT SAT Winnie Wong SAT SAT Winnie is assistant professor of rhetoric at UC Berkeley. SAT Her book Van Gogh On Demand: China and the Readymade is a SAT study of Dafen village, China, the world's largest SAT production centre for oil-on-canvas painting. She says the SAT painters of Dafen village do not think of the paintings they SAT produce as fakes, or themselves as forgers. In fact, they SAT can be shown to be artists in their own right. SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b041469l (Listen) SAT Reports from writers and journalists around the world. SAT Presented by Kate Adie. SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b041469n (Listen) SAT New mortgage rules SAT SAT Tough new rules will make it harder to get a mortgage from SAT 26 April. At least that's one view. Others say the new rules SAT will mean some people can borrow much more than they could SAT now. Under the new 'responsible lending' rules, lenders will SAT have to assess affordability and 'stress test' it by seeing SAT if the borrower could still repay if interest rates go up SAT several percentage points. Paul Lewis interviews Martin SAT Wheatley, chief executive of the Financial Conduct SAT Authority. He discusses the issue with Ray Boulger, of John SAT Charcol mortgage brokers and mortgage expert Melanie Bien. SAT SAT This week Pensions Minister Steve Webb said that when people SAT reach state pension age they could be told how long they can SAT expect to live. That will help them eke out whatever savings SAT and pension funds they have to cover the rest of their life. SAT But the idea is fraught with difficulties. Not least that SAT every year ONS publishes these projections life expectancy SAT grows. So if we want to plan our retirement finances can we SAT get any idea of when we will die that we could use for SAT financial planning? Paul Lewis crunches the numbers with SAT actuary Ronnie Bowie of Hymans Robertson. SAT SAT Buying hotel rooms online is quick and convenient. But in SAT some cases the price might depend not just the time of year, SAT or how far ahead you book, but whether you use a desktop SAT computer, a tablet or a mobile phone. Paul Lewis discusses SAT dual pricing strategies with Simon Calder of The SAT Independent. SAT SAT In a couple of months most firms will be banned from making SAT customers call a number beginning with 084. Calls to these SAT numbers normally cost more - sometimes a lot more - than SAT calling geographic numbers that begin 01 or 02 or 03. But SAT financial firms are exempt from these rules. Now the SAT regulator says they will have to conform too - by this time SAT next year. Paul Lewis talks to Martin Wheatley of the SAT Financial Conduct Authority and David Hickson, of the Fair SAT Telecoms Campaign. For a list of which numbers cost what, SAT see our links below.

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b041469s (Listen) SAT CS Forester's London Noir, The Pursued SAT SAT Most famous for his Hornblower series, C.S. Forester wrote SAT three seminal psychological thrillers at the start of his SAT career that took crime writing in a new direction, SAT portraying ordinary, desperate people committing monstrous SAT acts, and showing events spiralling terribly, chillingly, SAT out of control. SAT SAT The Pursued is a dark tale of retribution. SAT When Marjorie finds Dorothy, her pretty young sister, lying SAT dead with her head in the oven the obvious assumption is SAT suicide. But the girl's mother, Mrs Clair, a tough-minded SAT woman is not convinced. She believes that Dorothy was SAT murdered by Marjorie's cheating husband Ted. Unable to prove SAT her theory, Mrs Clair begins to cook up a secret, terrible SAT revenge. SAT SAT C.S. Forester's London Noir SAT THE PURSUED SAT By C. S.

SAT SAT The song has been taken up by individuals and groups around SAT the world who have suffered from discrimination. The Choir SAT With No Name in Birmingham, made up of homeless singers, SAT always close their concerts with the song. Choir members SAT explain why it's so important to them, giving them a sense SAT of pride and dignity. SAT SAT The American singer Suede, talks about the power she finds SAT in the song and the South African singer, Lira talks about SAT making a special recording of it for the birthday of Nelson SAT Mandela, as it was one of his favourite pieces. We hear how SAT Celtic football fans sing it as an act of solidarity with SAT their beleaguered manager, Neil Lennon.

The Queen is SAT dead: after a lifetime of waiting, the prince ascends the SAT throne...Tim is King Charles III. But how to rule? Mike SAT Bartlett's controversial piece explores the unwritten rules SAT of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most SAT famous family. SAT SAT One of the stars of a classy new adaptation of Daphne du SAT Maurier's gothic classic 'Jamaica Inn', Shirley Henderson is SAT perhaps best known for her roles as Gail in Trainspotting, SAT Jude in Bridget Jones's Diary and Moaning Myrtle in the SAT Harry Potter films. SAT SAT Arthur Smith chats with comedian and star of 'The Thick of SAT It' Chris Addison who's just made a rom-com series 'Trying SAT Again'. Chris plays Matt; half of a just-about-functioning SAT couple giving love a second chance. Following an SAT 'indiscretion' with her boss Iain, Matt and Meg are trying SAT to make up and move on, but it's not easy in a small Lake SAT District town where there are no such thing as secrets and SAT your friends share a knack for saying the wrong thing at the SAT wrong time. SAT SAT A favourite with both cult and mainstream tv audiences, Mark SAT Heap has created some brilliant comedy roles: Brian Topp in SAT 'Spaced', Dr Alan Statham in 'Green Wing' and Jim in 'Friday SAT Night Dinner'. He has worked with Chris Morris appearing in SAT 'Jam' and 'Brass Eye' and had a long-running role as head SAT postman Thomas Brown on ' Lark Rise to Candleford'.

SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b04146b5 (Listen) SAT Matisse cut-outs at Tate; Locke, RSC's Henry IV; Fargo on TV SAT SAT In 1941, following a life-threatening illness, Matisse SAT decided to change the way he made his art; from painting on SAT canvas to creating cutout shapes of painted paper and SAT arranging them to create brilliant vivid images - he SAT described it as "painting with scissors". A new exhibition SAT at Tate Modern in London brings together a collection of SAT these works, many of which haven't been seen together since SAT their creation more than 5 decades ago. SAT SAT Locke is a film set entirely in a car driving down the SAT motorway, no car chases just a bit of mild speeding, with SAT just one actor, suffering personal crises and talking mostly SAT about concrete. The film -and especially actor Tom Hardy's SAT performance - has been getting rave reviews from many SAT critics. Is it an indulgent creation for the delight of the SAT film's director (Steven Knight) or will the Saturday Review SAT panel be won over? SAT SAT Since The Coen Brothers released their Oscar-winning film SAT Fargo in 1996 there have been a few unsuccessful attempts to SAT turn the darkly comic work into a TV series. And now it's SAT happened. Based on the spirit of the film rather than SAT recreating the characters or scenarios, it features the SAT dysfunctional citizens of a small Minnesota settlement when SAT a mysterious drifter comes to town with evil intentions... SAT SAT The RSC's latest production in Stratford is Henry IV pts 1 SAT and 2 as part of their staging of all Shakespeare's 40 SAT plays. Directed by Gregory Doran and with a cast that SAT includes Anthony Sher as Falstaff, this is one of SAT Shakespeare's most dramatic history plays and the SAT double-bill is a major undertaking; what will this new SAT production bring to a much-loved work? SAT SAT Jayne-Anne Phillips is an American author of historical SAT fiction whose newest book is based on a real-life mass SAT murderer in 1930s Illinois. It's the story of the capture SAT and trial of a serial killer, which followed a series of SAT brutal murders preying on lonely middle-aged single women SAT whom he killed for their money. The story was later the SAT basis of Charles Laughton's chilling film 'Night Of The SAT Hunter'. Is "Quiet Dell" deathly dull or a killer read? SAT SAT Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Dreda Say Mitchell, Emma Woolf SAT and Kevin Jackson. SAT SAT Locke SAT Directed by Steven Knight, SAT Locke SAT is in cinemas from Friday 18 April 2014, certificate 15.

SAT SAT As a creative archaeologist, she wanted to unravel the SAT connections between those who fly the Atlantic and those who SAT guide them safely over, especially when she discovered that SAT datalink - effectively text messaging - is increasingly SAT being used, so that voice communication is on the wane. SAT SAT Listening to archive of transatlantic flights from the first SAT by Alcock and Brown in 1919, Christine discovered that the SAT west coast of Ireland looms large in the history. She SAT visited Shannon airport in County Clare, scene of many SAT departures and reunions and, in the 1950s and 60s - before SAT the jet engine - a stop-over for most of the popular icons SAT of the day as their planes re-fuelled after the 3000 mile SAT flight; every US President since JFK has visited Shannon, SAT and most stars from Marilyn Monroe to Fred Astaire. SAT SAT And at the North Atlantic Communications Centre in nearby SAT Ballygirreen, Christine met the faces behind the voices she SAT heard coming out of the dark on her own Atlantic Crossing.

SAT SAT 22:15 Would That Work Here? b040j3y4 (Listen) SAT Norway's Prison Regime SAT SAT In a new series of thought-provoking debates, Claire SAT Bolderson looks at something another country does well, or SAT differently, and asks whether it could work here. SAT SAT Re-offending, or recidivism rates, are difficult to compare SAT from country to country because of different methodologies SAT and metrics. However, it's clear that rates in the UK are SAT amongst the highest in Western Europe, and worryingly high SAT amongst criminals who have been released from prison. As SAT prisons reach full capacity, the cycle of crime, punishment SAT and re-offending needs to be broken. Norway might provide a SAT solution, since it boasts a re-offending rate of 20%, the SAT lowest in Western Europe. SAT SAT Prisons appear to play a different role in Norway - less SAT about punishment and more a place of rehabilitation. One in SAT particular - Bastoy, an open prison on an island south of SAT Oslo, where only 16% of released prisoners re-offend - has SAT received widespread international attention. How far is its SAT success attributable to the environment or a more humane SAT philosophy? Guards are trained in criminology and SAT psychology, and inmates enjoy a lifestyle described by SAT critics as being like a "holiday camp" (despite the fact it SAT is cheaper to run than most Norwegian prisons). SAT SAT What is prison for, and what can we learn from Norway? SAT SAT Produced by Jennie Walmsley and Ruth Evans SAT A Ruth Evans production for BBC Radio 4. SAT SAT 23:00 The 3rd Degree b040hjy2 (Listen) SAT Series 4, The University of Kent SAT SAT University of Kent SAT SAT A quiz show hosted by Steve Punt where a team of three SAT University students take on a team of three of their SAT professors. SAT SAT Coming this week from the University of Kent, "The 3rd SAT Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at SAT cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners whilst SAT delighting the current ones. SAT SAT The Specialist Subjects in this episode are Anthropology, SAT Journalism and Computing, and the questions range from the SAT Austro-Hungarian Empire to Engelbert Humperdinck via SAT database hacking and Babar the Elephant SAT SAT The show is recorded on location at a different University SAT each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of SAT their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on SAT an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course SAT meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but SAT with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes SAT posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union SAT buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities SAT across the UK. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the SAT Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, SAT and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both SAT sides... SAT SAT The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit SAT surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly SAT rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more SAT than just glanced at that reading list... SAT SAT In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, SAT Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth. SAT SAT Overflow (incl Cast Lists) SAT SAT The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on SAT The Now Show is also someone who delights in all facets of SAT knowledge, not just in the Humanities (his educational SAT background) but in the sciences as well. As well as "The Now SAT Show" he has made a number of documentaries for Radio 4, on SAT subjects as varied as "The Poet Unwound - The History Of The SAT Spleen" and "Getting The Gongs" - an investigation into SAT awards ceremonies - as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio SAT 4's 2008 Big Bang Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, SAT called "The Genuine Particle". This makes him the perfect SAT host for a show which aims to be an intellectual, fulfilling SAT and informative quiz, but with wit and a genuine delight in SAT exploring the subjects at hand. SAT SAT The 3rd Degree is a Pozzitive production, produced by David SAT Tyler. His radio credits include Armando Iannucci's Charm SAT Offensive, Cabin Pressure, Bigipedia, The Brig Society, SAT Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, Kevin Eldon Will See You Now, SAT Jeremy Hardy Speaks To The Nation, Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes SAT Off, The 99p Challenge, My First Planet, The Castle and SAT even, going back a bit, Radio Active.

SUN SUN 00:30 Murals b01pgll7 (Listen) SUN A Bowl of Cherries SUN SUN These three stories by Morven Crumlish - commissioned SUN specially for Radio 4 - are inspired by the work of the SUN artist Phoebe Anna Traquair. Traquair (1852-1936) was born SUN in County Dublin and in the 1870s moved to Edinburgh, where SUN she would later become a prominent figure in the Scottish SUN Arts and Crafts movement. SUN SUN Probably her best-known works are the vibrantly-coloured SUN murals in what was formerly the Catholic Apostolic Church in SUN Broughton Street, Edinburgh, which Traquair took eight years SUN to complete (1893-1901). When the church fell out of SUN ecclesiastical use, the murals suffered badly through SUN neglect, but following the formation of the Mansfield SUN Traquair Trust, a major restoration was undertaken, SUN completed in 2005. SUN SUN While art is at the core of all three fictions, Murals also SUN mirrors the evolution of a similar building: from church, to SUN brickyard, to present-day use for visitors and as a venue SUN for events." SUN SUN 3/3. A Bowl Of Cherries SUN SUN An events manager, organising a christening party at the SUN former church, is beset by crises. One is professional - SUN there's a dead dog in the basement. But the other is more SUN existential. SUN SUN Morven Crumlish's stories have been broadcast widely, and SUN she also contributes to the Guardian.

Written and narrated by David Attenborough, it SUN told the story of evolution in thirteen weekly instalments, SUN stunning viewers with incredible underwater photography, and SUN astonishing close-ups of creatures never before seen on SUN British screens. SUN SUN Broadcast in 1979, it took three years to make and involved SUN a staggering one and a half million miles of travel. Viewers SUN were exposed to more than 650 different species of animal, SUN in a survey of life from bacteria to man and all in between. SUN SUN In The Reunion, Sir David Attenborough is reunited with some SUN of the team he worked with on the series. Richard Brock SUN produced the popular episode on amphibians featuring SUN extraordinary varieties of frog: one whose young emerge from SUN under the skin on its back and another whose male incubates SUN the eggs in his vocal sac, ultimately giving birth through SUN his mouth. Assistant producer Mike Salisbury recalls the SUN difficulties filming lions in Tanzania that eventually SUN resulted in a groundbreaking depiction of a lion-hunt. SUN SUN The most enduring sequence in the series was David SUN Attenborough's astonishing encounter with gorillas in the SUN mountains of Rwanda, frequently voted one of the top TV SUN moments of all time.

SUN SUN He also asks questions about whether, in a globalised world, SUN we couldn't do better in terms of governance - either by SUN looking to collections of cities or to groupings of nations SUN to solve the problems of the 21st century.

SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b0414dzh (Listen) SUN Eccles SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from SUN Eccles. Taking the audience's questions are Chris Beardshaw, SUN Pippa Greenwood and Bunny Guinness. SUN SUN Would you be brave enough to consider entering your local SUN flower and vegetable show? Matt Biggs meets one gardener in SUN Nottinghamshire who has risen to the challenge. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras. SUN A Somethin' Else Production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Q. What would the panel recommend to create a low SUN maintenance garden in quite a cold climate with low soil SUN density? SUN A. Lilac does very well in free draining soil. Also try SUN Helleborus orientalis or a variety of Fern. You need to SUN introduce more organic matter, so it might be worth creating SUN a community composting system. Buddleia is the ultimate low SUN maintenance plant or some of the Hypericums would work. SUN Increase the number of bulbs and in some of the sunnier SUN spots try summer-flowering bulbs such as Nyrenes. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel give some advice on how to grow Asphodel? SUN A. Asphodel is a member of the Lily family and is typically SUN found in South-East Europe. It has a rosette of grey leaves SUN forming an almost onion-like shape. From this grows a spike SUN of up to 1m (3ft) in height. The yellow form is Asphodelus SUN luteus. There are white forms with a single spike, such as SUN Asphodel Albus or branching Ramosus. It will need SUN free-draining soil-based compost in a container. Make sure SUN it does not get too wet or cold in the winter. It also SUN requires plenty of sunshine and reduced fertility. Asphodel SUN is easier to grow from a herbaceous perennial rather than a SUN bulb. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest some plants and seeds that will SUN produce edible flowers in the Manchester climate? SUN A. Pansies, Violets and Marigolds can all be eaten and add a SUN lot of colour. Also try allowing Chives and Garlic Chives to SUN flower into their purple pompoms. The blue flowers of the SUN Rosemary have a surprising flavour. Wasabi has small white SUN flowers and can be grown in a pot and saucer. Wasabi roots SUN can only be harvested after the second year, but the leaves SUN and flowers are very easy to grow. The pot Marigold, SUN Calendula, adds a vibrant shade to any salad. Borage will SUN crop up everywhere and the blue flowers have a slight SUN cucumber taste. Roses, such as Rosa Glauca and Rosa Rugosa, SUN provide wonderful petals. SUN SUN Q. Is it possible to over scarify a lawn? SUN A. It is done to remove any detritus that may be sitting on SUN the surface of the soil, to prevent thatch developing, and SUN to encourage finer foliage. The lawn can take a long time to SUN recover from a heavy job. It also depends on the soil type SUN and more damage can be done to a light soil. If you want a SUN manicured lawn then it is necessary, but you could just use SUN a mulch mower for a more natural look. If you think you have SUN over-scarified then you can add a top layer of soil mixed SUN with fine compost and grass seed. SUN SUN Q. I am a beekeeper on an urban allotment and am in the SUN process of planting wild plants in area previously inundated SUN with Couch Grass and a mass of unidentified weeds. Could the SUN panel recommend colourful, nectar-rich flowers to plant for SUN early summer? SUN A. The annual Lavatera has a broad open flower making it SUN good for bees. Yellow Rattle is highly recommended if you SUN are looking to reduce the vigour of grass and improve the SUN opportunity for subsequent crops. It is a parasitic plant SUN which will lead to a dramatic reduction in the speed of the SUN grass growth, opening up the opportunity for more wild SUN flowers to grow. However, the soil will need to have a low SUN fertility for it to thrive. The Ground Elder you already SUN have on site will actually produce lovely white flowers. SUN SUN Outlawed plants added to Section 9 of the Wildlife and SUN Countryside Act: Water Fern, Parrot's Feather, Floating SUN Pennywort, Water Primrose and Australian Swamp Stonecrop. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b0414dzk (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces conversations about Muslim attitudes to SUN the arts, the experience of wartime evacuation, and life SUN with Type 1 diabetes, from Cardiff, Torquay and South SUN Shields, proving once again that it's surprising what you SUN hear when you listen. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN SUN 17:00 How Do Children Learn History? b040hy5k (Listen) SUN Last year, the Government's original proposals for a new SUN history curriculum provoked much intense debate. SUN SUN With schools preparing to introduce the revised version of SUN the new curriculum this September, Adam Smith investigates SUN the question that caused perhaps the greatest controversy: SUN what history should primary school pupils study - and how SUN should it be taught? SUN SUN To find out, he asks educational experts, Education SUN Secretary Michael Gove and his Shadow Tristram Hunt. SUN SUN And he also asks teachers and their pupils. SUN SUN As a Lecturer at University College London Adam teaches SUN history to young adults. But, he asks, what fires interest SUN in the subject among young children? SUN SUN In one East Midlands primary, he watches a lesson on the SUN Vikings which involves pupils going on 'quests' that involve SUN runic tablets and Viking helmets, vector notation and SUN i-Pads. SUN SUN At a south London primary, he sees a very different lesson SUN on the Greek gods - it's based on a single text, and led SUN strongly by the teacher. SUN SUN And at a Northamptonshire country house, Adam dons top hat SUN and tails to find out what pupils can learn from an SUN 'immersive' day spent dressed as Victorian servants. SUN SUN So, Adam asks, what's more useful? Timelines, dressing up - SUN or Horrible Histories? SUN SUN Is it better to set them off on an enquiry in the hope that SUN that will lead them to factual knowledge - or should we SUN teach them facts in the hope that they will start to ask SUN questions? SUN SUN Should children be taught a 'true' narrative? Or should we SUN expect them to learn to question sources? SUN SUN And why teach eight year olds history in the first place? SUN SUN Producer: Phil Tinline. SUN SUN Adam Smith at Holdenby House, Northamptonshire SUN SUN At Holdenby House, period costume is compulsory. Presenter SUN Adam Smith dresses as a Victorian government inspector to SUN meet visiting primary school pupils, who have come dressed SUN as Victorian servants. The aim is that, for one day, with SUN the help of three actors, the children will be immersed in SUN history.

MON MON We discuss the difference between clothes and fashion; why MON is it that we form an emotional attachment to some clothes MON and throw others out? MON MON Grayson and Philippa Perry talk about the wardrobe they MON share with Clare, Grayson's alter ego. MON MON Fashion historian Amber Butchart and Melanie Rickey examine MON the enduring appeal of the Breton Stripe. MON MON And we ask why do so many of us adopt a kind of uniform, MON wearing the same colours and styles, day in and day out? MON MON Presenter: Jenni Murray MON Producer: Laura Northedge. MON MON Clothing For Keeps MON MON In our climate of “fast fashion” we can update our wardrobes MON for the same price as buying a sandwich, but as we know, the MON ethical price is high. So how can we break the cycle of MON buying cheap clothing and sticking it in the back of our MON wardrobe when fashion moves on? Dr Kate Fletcher claims the MON only sensible response is to find a way to separate the MON ideas of clothing and fashion, and fall back in love with MON our own wardrobes. She has started a movement called the MON “craft of use” which focusses on caring for and maintaining MON our favourite items. So how can we feel good about our MON clothes without spending money? And why do we treasure some MON clothes and throw others away? Jenni talks to Kate and to MON fashion editor Melanie Rickey. MON MON Are You Wearing A Uniform? MON MON Do you find yourself relying on the same colours and styles MON of clothes time and time again? In the rush to leave the MON house in the morning, is it easier to sling on something MON black than to think about combining different colours or MON doing something different with your make-up? Are you wearing MON a uniform? The fashion designer Celia Birtwell is known for MON her colourful prints, but admits that she rarely deviates MON from wardrobe staples in grey, cream, and black. She joins MON Jenni, who admits to mostly wearing black, and Sally MON Feldman, who is Senior Fellow in Creative Industries at the MON University of Westminster, and loves to mix up colours and MON try new things. MON MON When Did The Breton Stripe Become A Wardrobe Staple? MON MON As the Barbican launch the first ever exhibition devoted MON to the work of the fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, we MON look at his enduring motif – the Breton stripe – and ask how MON this piece of French sailor kit ended up as a wardrobe MON staple for everyone from the Duchess of Cambridge to Kate MON Moss. Fashion historian Amber Butchart and fashion editor MON Melanie Rickey discuss the timeless appeal of the nautical MON stripe. MON MON In Our Wardrobe: Grayson And Philippa Perry MON MON We’ve often looked into the wardrobes of well- known people MON to see what’s hiding there – and now, it’s couples. How do MON they accommodate each other’s fashion sense? The artist MON Grayson Perry and his wife Philippa have a slightly more MON complex approach than most because they have to share with a MON third person – Clare - who’s Grayson’s alter ego. She was MON thrust into the public eye when Grayson won the Turner Prize MON in 2003. Grayson and Philippa met 26 years ago at a MON creative writing course and both say his cross-dressing has MON never been an issue. They told Henrietta Harrison that their MON dress sense is more adventurous now compared with the MON eighties, when they used to share frumpy Jaeger suits. MON MON Celia Birtwell MON Celia Birtwell joins Jenni to talk about her life as a MON leading textile designer in the late 60s and early 70s, in MON partnership with her then husband, the iconic fashion MON designer Ossie Clark, up to designing special ranges for MON high street retailers today.

MON MON 13:45 In Search of Ourselves: A History of Psychology and MON the Mind b0415hb6 (Listen) MON High Anxieties MON MON Psychology is as old as the human race. People have always MON sought to understand what makes us think, feel and act the MON way we do. MON MON In Episode 1, Martin examines the government's plan for a MON national 'happiness index' and traces our search for MON ourselves back to the ancients. MON MON The term 'psychology' was first used in about 1600 and MON means, literally, 'study of the soul'. But it was only in MON the late 19th century that psychology emerged as a separate MON science. Today it draws on the intellectual legacy of MON philosophy, physiology and, increasingly, neurobiology and MON social science. MON MON The author and broadcaster Martin Sixsmith retrained as a MON psychologist in the last decade, following careers as a BBC MON correspondent and government adviser. Martin's experience MON both studying applied psychology and as a recipient of MON therapy reflects the growing acceptance of psychological MON counselling in Britain and the lessening of the stigma MON attached to mental illness. There has been a growth of MON interest in the therapeutic aspects of psychology, but many MON of us still have a frustratingly incomplete knowledge of its MON history, techniques and broader applications. MON MON This series taps into a defining aspect of modern existence MON and addresses the widespread desire to know more, charting MON the path from today's democratisation of psychological care MON back to early beliefs, the birth of modern experimental MON psychology, the related 'psy professions' - psychiatry and MON psychotherapy - and the splits and controversies of the 20th MON century.

MON MON Coming this week from the University of Bedfordshire, "The MON 3rd Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed MON at cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners MON whilst delighting the current ones. MON MON The Specialist Subjects in this episode are Psychology, MON Theatre and Sports Science and the questions involve MON Konstantin Stanislavski, Geoff Hurst, osmium and MON cauliflowers. MON MON The show is recorded on location at a different University MON each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of MON their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on MON an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course MON meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but MON with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. MON MON Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes MON posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union MON buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities MON across the UK. MON MON The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not MON only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, MON languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness MON of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the MON Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their MON Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, MON and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both MON sides... MON MON The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit MON surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly MON rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more MON than just glanced at that reading list... MON MON In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, MON Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth. MON MON Overflow (incl Cast Lists) MON MON The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on MON The Now Show is also someone who delights in all facets of MON knowledge, not just in the Humanities (his educational MON background) but in the sciences as well. As well as "The Now MON Show" he has made a number of documentaries for Radio 4, on MON subjects as varied as "The Poet Unwound - The History Of The MON Spleen" and "Getting The Gongs" - an investigation into MON awards ceremonies - as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio MON 4's 2008 Big Bang Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, MON called "The Genuine Particle". This makes him the perfect MON host for a show which aims to be an intellectual, fulfilling MON and informative quiz, but with wit and a genuine delight in MON exploring the subjects at hand.

MON MON The early years of jazz calls to mind places such as New MON Orleans, Chicago and Paris. What is often overlooked is that MON the Indian city of Bombay, now Mumbai, had its very own MON thriving jazz scene in the 1930's that lasted three decades. MON MON Manzoor charts this extraordinary story of jazz in India MON when some of the world's most accomplished musicians MON including Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong MON brought their talents to the East and mixed with performers MON such as Chic Chocolate, Micky Correa, Teddy Weatherford and MON Frank Fernand -all regarded in India today as jazz legends. MON This cultural exchange produced music that wove threads into MON Bombay's story. These threads would later become MON inextricably a part of the city's own definitive creation: MON Bollywood, and its music in particular. MON MON Discovering India's jazz heritage and the areas the music MON has been preserved Manzoor travels to Mumbai to visit Naresh MON Fernandes author of the critically acclaimed book The Taj MON Mahal Foxtrot. He meets with musicians and singers along MON with the widow of Micky Correa and the daughters of Chic MON Chocolate and explores the development of jazz with MON saxophonist Braz Gonsalves, the first man to play Be-Bop in MON India.

TUE TUE TUE TUE Game Changer Julie Bailey TUE TUE In 2007, after Julie Bailey’s mother Bella died at Stafford TUE Hospital, appalled at what her mother went through, Julie TUE went on to expose the failings at the hospital and set up TUE Cure The NHS. Her ‘whistleblowing’ led to a public inquiry TUE by Robert Francis QC which uncovered cases of neglect and TUE abuse at Stafford Hospital. This eventually resulted in new TUE rules and regulations being introduced into the NHS to TUE ensure higher standards of care. But she faced a torrent of TUE personal and online abuse, and last year was forced to sell TUE her business and move away from Stafford. On Woman’s Hour TUE two weeks ago Julie Bailey was voted the second of the ten TUE most significant of Woman’s Hour Game Changers for her TUE courage and resilience in daring to speak out, and because TUE she has “changed the game for the care of older people”.

It extended free secondary education to TUE all and introduced the tripartite system (grammar, technical TUE and modern). It also set in train a common national TUE distinction between primary and secondary education at 11. TUE TUE It was welcomed by teachers as it recognised the importance TUE of education for all children and it was a consensus policy TUE that was part of the optimism about what could be achieved TUE after the war. TUE TUE But fifty years later the relationship between the teaching TUE profession and the Government had changed to be one based on TUE conflict. In 1999 David Blunkett was booed at the NUT TUE conference and taunted with chants of "bring back the TUE Tories". When the electorate finally did give the teachers a TUE Conservative Education Secretary, relations between the TUE Government and the teachers sank to an all-time low. TUE TUE Roy Blatchford is Director of the National Education Trust. TUE He has worked in education over the last five decades as a TUE teacher, head teacher and inspector. In this programme he TUE tells the story of modern education from 1944 to the present TUE day and how it went from consensus to conflict, and from a TUE world where qualifications were for just a tiny elite to one TUE where all students are in school or training until the age TUE of 18, with close on 50% going on to higher education. He TUE speaks to key decision-makers from the period, including TUE several former secretaries of state to ask how much of the TUE original vision has survived and what the story of education TUE over the last 70 years tells us about what the future might TUE hold for Britain's schools.

WED WED The UK, like many countries, faces the problems of an WED increasingly ageing society. The number of people aged 65 WED and over is projected to rise by 23% from 10.3 million in WED 2010 to 16.9 million by 2035. How can we provide and pay for WED their care? WED WED Japan is at the forefront of the ageing crisis, with the WED highest proportion of elderly citizens in the world. By WED 2030, almost a third of the population will be 65 or older. WED At the same time the overall population is shrinking, WED leaving fewer young working people to shoulder the burden of WED paying for care for the elderly. WED WED One creative response to this challenge at local level has WED been a cash-less system of time-banking. Under the fureai WED kippu system, individuals donate time to looking after the WED elderly, and earn credits which they can - in theory at WED least - "cash in" later for their own care, or transfer to WED elderly relatives in other parts of the country. WED WED Could something similar work here, or do we have very WED different attitudes to community and volunteering? Who would WED benefit from such a cash-less scheme, and who might lose WED out? Could it be scaled up to meet the escalating needs of a WED growing elderly population? WED WED Produced by Ruth Evans and Jennie Walmsley WED A Ruth Evans production for BBC Radio 4.

WED WED Nineteen year old Ruth Swain is lying in her childhood home WED in the small Irish village of Faha in the attic room at the WED top of the stairs in the bed which her father had to WED construct in situ and which turned out to be as much boat as WED bed. She has Something Wrong with her, having collapsed WED during her fresher year at Trinity in Dublin, and finds WED herself bedbound in the attic room beneath the rain, in the WED margins between this world and the next. WED WED Ruth is in search of her father. To understand the father WED she has lost. To find him Ruth journeys through the ancestry WED of the curious Swain family - from the Reverend Swain her WED great-grandfather, to her grandfather Abraham to her father WED Virgil - and in doing so discovers an enchanting story of WED pole-vaulting, soldiering, stubbornness, leaping salmon, WED poetry, the pursuit of the Impossible Standard, and the wild WED rain-sodden history of fourteen acres of the worst farming WED land in Ireland. Above all, Ruth embarks on a journey WED through books. Three thousand, nine hundred and fifty-eight WED books to be precise, which are piled high and line the walls WED of her attic room. As Ruth searches for her father in their WED pages, her story becomes a vital, witty and poignant WED celebration of imagination, books, love and the healing WED power of storytelling.

THU THU Kate Humble presents the ruddy duck. Ruddy ducks are natives THU of North America. In the late 1950s and early 1960s several THU ruddy ducks escaped from the Wildfowl Trust's collection at THU Slimbridge and within 30 years they had become established THU breeding birds in the UK. Some even migrated to Spain where THU they mated with a very rare threatened relative, the THU white-headed duck. Many ornithologists believed that the THU resulting hybrids threatened to undermine years of THU conservation work in Spain, so after taking scientific THU advice, the UK government set out to eradicate the ruddy THU duck. This action has reduced our population to a handful so THU your best chance of hearing the courtship display is by THU visiting a wildfowl collection.

THU THU 11:30 Derek Tangye: The Cornish Gardener b02x66zs (Listen) THU John McCarthy explores the fascinating life of British THU author Derek Tangye and reveals a remarkable and enigmatic THU portrait of this influential writer. THU THU From his home in the West Country popular writer Derek THU Tangye penned a score of books collectively known as 'The THU Minack Chronicles'. THU THU The stories illustrate the anomalous lives Derek and his THU wife Jeannie led when, in the 1950's, they abandoned their THU sophisticated metropolitan lifestyle to live in isolation THU working a cliff top daffodil farm with their beloved animals THU in the farthest reaches of Cornwall. THU THU As McCarthy travels to the area surrounding Minack, the main THU inspiration for Tangye' work, he explores the world of a THU writer whose literary triumphs mask a mysterious and complex THU life. His descriptions in the books of the 'glorious anthem' THU of a cat's purr and the 'sweet moment when a long-awaited THU harvest awakes' provide an atmospheric backdrop to the THU captivating discoveries and secrets of his life. THU THU Derek Tangye was educated at Harrow and subsequently worked THU as a journalist. During the war he was a member of MI5 and THU throughout his days at Minack was a neighbour of novelist THU John Le Carre. THU THU Tangye died in 1996 and a few years later a national THU newspaper ran a story suggesting dubious activities during THU his secret service days. THU THU An audio project produced for Tangye’s centenary and notes THU for a final book allow a useful insight into his life and THU work and provide interesting theories into the couple’s THU motivation to discard glamour to live in a neglected THU cottage. THU THU Speaking with the Tangye's inner circle, his followers and THU experts in spy history, McCarthy attempts to uncover some of THU the mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding the THU author. THU THU After recent renewed interest in the anthologies he will THU discuss the impact and merits of the Minack Chronicles and THU review their contribution to literature.

THU When BBC Radio 4 asked me to take part in A Cornish Gardener THU I was over the moon, having long known and admired Derek THU Tangye. THU THU It all began in 1991. I had been having a difficult time in THU a highly pressurised job and went to the library to look for THU something to read as light relief. In the library I found THU Lama, and was enthralled with it. I didn’t know it was the THU fifth book in the Chronicles series by an author called THU Derek Tangye, but it described a life I had dreamed of. To THU be by the sea, in a rural environment, with a variety of THU animals ~ particularly cats, which I have always loved - was THU my idea of heaven. THU THU I didn’t know then whether Lama was truth or fiction, but I THU found two more books and discovered with great excitement THU that Minack was a real place. From then on I was addicted. THU THU I read and re-read all the books and desperately wanted to THU see Minack for myself. But when I read Jeannie I was THU devastated to learn that Jeannie had died. Jeannie was the THU spirit of Minack. How could I go there now? Derek made it THU clear in his books that he didn’t always welcome visitors, THU and without his beloved Jeannie, to arrive would be an THU intrusion. I wrote him a letter telling him of my desperate THU wish to visit Minack, but never sent the letter. I was too THU scared. THU THU I found my way there at last in June 1992. Turning into THU Lamorna Cove. I felt as if I had left the world I knew THU behind. I stayed at the hotel, and from there made my way up THU Well Lane and followed the ‘Donkeys’ Walk’ towards Carn THU Barges. From here I had the same view that Derek and Jeannie THU had seen more than fifty years previously, when Jeannie had THU seen the cottage nestling in a grove of trees and cried, THU ‘There it is!’ I walked down the Winding Lane, a mile long, THU dusty and with high Cornish hedges either side, and found a THU small hand painted sign that said, ‘Dorminack Only’. My THU heart fluttered! Down I walked, wild flowers either side of THU me, a sky so richly blue; dappled shade providing a relief THU from the sun’s heat; celadine, campion, daisies underfoot, THU daffodils still flowering - and the sea as a backdrop. It THU was everything I had dreamed of. There before me was the THU cottage, just as Derek had written about it, with the THU Confusion Room and Donkey Stables to my left and Cherry Tree THU further along. His Volvo (which I later purchased at the THU auction) with digestive biscuits by the box load in the THU back. My knees were like jelly. My stomach was fluttering THU and my heart was pounding. This was it. I was about to come THU face to face with an author. I had never done this before THU and was wondering what had given me the courage. ‘Take THU Risks!’ Derek had written – and so I did. ‘Hello!’ Derek THU shouted when I tapped at the door. ‘Come in! Have a glass of THU wine!’ ‘I had entered the World of Minack. THU THU It led to warm friendship. I had many visits after that THU first one, popping down to see Derek several times a year. THU Sometimes he would be busy writing and I would go away and THU come back after sitting on Ambrose Rock or wandering the THU small wood. Sometimes there would be other visitors and he THU would ask me to take them round Minack and Oliver Land while THU he was working, then join him to chat about everything from THU his life at Minack to the welfare benefit system, THU immigration and the building of new roads and motorways, the THU economy of the country, and so on. THU THU On one occasion the editor of Aberdeen’s Press and Journal THU was there, and he introduced Derek’s books to the Scottish THU audience. A young couple arrived who later became Trustees THU of Derek’s estate, and I was added to the list of Associate THU Trustees. I still feel honoured to be one of a number of THU others who will do anything to protect Oliver Land from any THU threat to destroy the small oasis that he and Jeannie had THU created for the wildlife. THU THU Derek was a magnanimous, thought-provoking man who could THU sometimes be a little irritated but was always honest if you THU stood your ground. A man who thought a great deal about the THU way of the world, was wise beyond his years and somehow THU could sense in people whether they were truly genuine or THU merely seeking an autograph. A man who, some four years THU after his death was accused of being a spy. This newspaper THU story was created out of hearsay, with tenuous links to THU hints and rumour. Why would a man who had written books THU about the commonwealth and its future with such liberal THU views carve out a hard existence on the tops of a Cornish THU cliff, with little money? Surely spies get paid something THU for their endeavours? I cannot believe the accusations. If THU any of it were true, I can only surmise that Derek was being THU used by a third party in blackmail situation. Does it change THU my mind about what I think of him? An emphatic NO! THU THU He made a life out of nothing, wrote some beautiful books THU about that life, created a haven for wildlife- The Derek and THU Jeannie Tangye Minack Chronicles Nature Reserve known THU affectionately as Oliver Land and left us richer for his THU work in more ways than one. He changed people’s lives and THU still changes them today: his books as permanent reminder of THU a way of life that helps remind us how to cherish and value THU the aspects of our lives that truly matter. THU THU I have spent nearly the last decade running websites and THU forums to celebrate Derek’s life and writing, so that others THU may share them too. I am thrilled that his work is now being THU re-published, and am happy to maintain Facebook pages THU dedicated to his memory. But the most lasting effect of his THU risk-taking philosophy is still very much with me. I took a THU risk and moved to a remote Scottish Island with my husband. THU We have a 58-acre farm that we treat as a big nature THU reserve, somewhere for our cats and animals to be safe. It’s THU very much like Minack. There is a winding lane and THU lighthouses blink to us from various mainland coastal THU points. We can see Northern Ireland and the Belfast Lock, THU the Rhinns Peninsular in Southern Scotland and Mull of THU Kintyre - the former home of Paul McCartney. Huge cruise THU liners pass by, sailing down the Firth of Clyde. Today the THU sun shines and everything is glorious, but we face the THU realities of winter as did Derek and Jeannie. THU THU It has been a long journey that started as a dream, sparked THU off by a book called Lama and an author called Derek Tangye. THU Finally he is being remembered once again and I have helped THU in some small way to keep that memory alive through the THU websites and Facebook pages. The books being republished in THU February 2014 is a fabulous 21st anniversary for me, both as THU a reader and an Associate Trustee. I would like to use this THU as an opportunity to say Thank you Derek for what you have THU brought to many, for the life changes you have helped many THU to make and what you are still achieving today.

During this THU time, the organisation has courted little attention and has THU at times been viewed by British authorities as a force for THU good in the fight against extremism. So why has David THU Cameron called for an investigation into their activities THU now? THU THU In this edition of The Report, Peter Marshall hears claims THU that this review is less about national security, and more THU about appeasing the rulers of the United Arab Emirates and THU Saudi Arabia, who are ideologically opposed to the THU Brotherhood. The UAE and Saudi Arabia also happen to have THU lucrative contracts with British businesses. THU THU The programme also reveals how senior members of the THU Conservative party have been raising concerns about the THU Muslim Brotherhood for several years - in particular the THU Brotherhood's ties to Hamas - and so the new investigation THU is perhaps not a complete surprise. However, this is the THU same organisation which received the backing of the British THU government when Mohammed Morsi was elected president of THU Egypt, and so is the government now guilty of hypocrisy? THU THU Critics of the Brotherhood say much has changed in the THU Middle East over the past year - especially in Egypt - and THU there are concerns that rogue elements of the Muslim THU Brotherhood will seek refuge in Britain. Already, members of THU the Brotherhood and its political wing, The Freedom and THU Justice Party, have come to London to seek asylum. The THU Report speaks to them about the on-going investigation into THU their activities and asks them why they have come to the UK THU and what does the Muslim Brotherhood really stand for?

THU THU South Korea is at a turning point. The country is one of the THU economic miracles of the twentieth century, transforming THU itself from extreme poverty at the end of the Korean War to THU one of the richest nations in the world. The government THU supported families to establish huge 'chaebol' companies THU which are now world renowned names such as Samsung, Hyundai THU and LG. These companies epitomise the development of South THU Korea as a nation - Samsung started as a general store and THU is now one of the largest manufacturers of smartphones in THU the world. THU THU However South Korea is now the country with the highest THU suicide rate in the world. The Koreans work the longest THU hours in the OECD group of rich nations and these chaebol THU companies are no longer creating enough jobs. Are these THU signs of a society in stress? THU THU For In Business this week, Peter Day travels to Seoul to THU find out about the Korean government's strategy to solve THU these economic issues: 'The Creative Economy'. Korea aims to THU become Asia's 'start-up nation' in the next three years, and THU is throwing vast sums of money into the technology sector to THU encourage people to become entrepreneurs. But this is a THU career choice that has until recently been seen as a failing THU in South Korean society. Can a government change a culture? THU THU How is the 'creative economy' working out?

She has Something Wrong with her, having collapsed THU during her fresher year at Trinity in Dublin, and finds THU herself bedbound in the attic room beneath the rain, in the THU margins between this world and the next. THU THU Ruth is in search of her father. To understand the father THU she has lost. To find him Ruth journeys through the ancestry THU of the curious Swain family - from the Reverend Swain her THU great-grandfather, to her grandfather Abraham to her father THU Virgil - and in doing so discovers an enchanting story of THU pole-vaulting, soldiering, stubbornness, leaping salmon, THU poetry, the pursuit of the Impossible Standard, and the wild THU rain-sodden history of fourteen acres of the worst farming THU land in Ireland. Above all, Ruth embarks on a journey THU through books. Three thousand, nine hundred and fifty-eight THU books to be precise, which are piled high and line the walls THU of her attic room. As Ruth searches for her father in their THU pages, her story becomes a vital, witty and poignant THU celebration of imagination, books, love and the healing THU power of storytelling.

You could try planting Chrysanthemums, in particular FRI Korean Chrysanthemums. You could also try Dahlias. Asters FRI also bring colour in the autumn months. Aster Andenken An FRI Alma Pötschke is a particularly bright variety, as are the FRI King George Aster, the New England Aster and the Aster FRI Michaelmas Daisy. You could also try planting Nerines, the FRI Clerodendrum Bungei is a good variety. FRI All these plants will need hardier plants nearby to provide FRI wind protection. Sea Buck Thorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) would FRI be a good option. FRI FRI Q. Could the panel suggest vegetables to grow in a shady FRI garden? FRI A. Most vegetables will have a hard time growing in the FRI shade. It would be better to grow soft fruits such as FRI Raspberries, Blackcurrants, Tae Berries, Strawberries and FRI Bramble Berries which all grow well in dappled shade. You FRI might also try growing Mint, Parsley, Jerusalem Artichokes FRI and Globe Artichokes. To increase the light in the plot, you FRI could paint the walls white to increase light reflection. FRI Raising the bed would also increase light exposure. FRI FRI Q. Could the panel recommend a perennial Fuchsia that would FRI thrive on a south-facing wall in a pot? FRI A. The gold-leafed Fuchsia Magellanica would be a good FRI option when put with some Actea (formerly known as FRI Cimicifuga). Lady Boothby and Lady Bacon are also good FRI varieties. FRI FRI Q.I have been growing Marigolds alongside my tomatoes to FRI keep away the white fly, but have recently read criticisms FRI of this technique. What is the panel's opinion on companion FRI growing to keep away garden pests? FRI A. French or African Marigolds will keep the whitefly away. FRI Petunias can also trap white fly and green fly to prevent FRI the spread of this pest, as will types of White Tobacco. FRI FRI Produced by Howard Shannon. FRI Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras.

She's the author FRI of the acclaimed 'Panopticon'. FRI FRI Some background to We Live in the Sky: five questions with FRI Jenni Fagan FRI Why did FRI you respond to the brief in the way you did? What inspired FRI you? FRI FRI The main FRI character is a 10 year-old Ugandan boy called Okello. He FRI just arrived FRI in this story and I was inspired by how he experienced life FRI in London FRI as a young immigrant. He FRI is initially unaware of the level of poverty in this FRI country for many FRI people but he is a very FRI smart kid who sees straight through a lot of things and I FRI was FRI interested in that. I think these factors give him an FRI unusual FRI clarity. FRI FRI FRI How, if at FRI all, did you research your story? FRI FRI I had to FRI research the history of Uganda, language, the structure of FRI names & FRI families. I lived in Peckham for a long-time so I did not FRI need to research FRI the location of South London too FRI much, I know the area well. I watched documentary's on FRI poverty, immigration. FRI I also thought of my own upbringing a lot. FRI FRI FRI What FRI personal experience have you or people you know had of the FRI recession? FRI FRI I grew up in FRI a very bad recession and even decades after that I had no FRI idea what it was like FRI to experience any kind of financial security. I understand FRI these issues well. FRI FRI FRI How do you FRI feel the recession affects ‘providers’ like Okello’s uncle? FRI Do you think hiding FRI the problem is a common response? FRI FRI I think there FRI are many proud hard-working parents or guardians who go FRI without money and FRI security everyday. FRI FRI FRI Are FRI claimants of benefits unfairly stereotyped? FRI FRI Yes. We FRI clearly live in a scapegoat society.

FRI FRI 21:00 In Search of Ourselves: A History of Psychology and FRI the Mind b0418xyp (Listen) FRI Omnibus Edition, Episode 1 FRI FRI Psychology is as old as the human race. People have always FRI sought to understand what makes us think, feel and act the FRI way we do. FRI FRI The term 'psychology' was first used in about 1600 and FRI means, literally, 'study of the soul'. But it was only in FRI the late 19th century that psychology emerged as a separate FRI science. Today it draws on the intellectual legacy of FRI philosophy, physiology and, increasingly, neurobiology and FRI social science. FRI FRI The author and broadcaster Martin Sixsmith retrained as a FRI psychologist in the last decade, following careers as a BBC FRI correspondent and government adviser. Martin's experience FRI both studying applied psychology and as a recipient of FRI therapy reflects the growing acceptance of psychological FRI counselling in Britain and the lessening of the stigma FRI attached to mental illness. There has been a growth of FRI interest in the therapeutic aspects of psychology, but many FRI of us still have a frustratingly incomplete knowledge of its FRI history, techniques and broader applications. FRI FRI This series taps into a defining aspect of modern existence FRI and addresses the widespread desire to know more, charting FRI the path from today's democratisation of psychological care FRI back to early beliefs, the birth of modern experimental FRI psychology, the related 'psy professions' - psychiatry and FRI psychotherapy - and, in this first episode, the father of FRI psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, as well as his successors and FRI rivals in the Twentieth Century.

FRI FRI Nineteen year old Ruth Swain is lying in her childhood home FRI in the small Irish village of Faha in the attic room at the FRI top of the stairs in the bed which her father had to FRI construct in situ and which turned out to be as much boat as FRI bed. She has Something Wrong with her, having collapsed FRI during her fresher year at Trinity in Dublin, and finds FRI herself bedbound in the attic room beneath the rain, in the FRI margins between this world and the next. FRI FRI Ruth is in search of her father. To understand the father FRI she has lost. To find him Ruth journeys through the ancestry FRI of the curious Swain family - from the Reverend Swain her FRI great-grandfather, to her grandfather Abraham to her father FRI Virgil - and in doing so discovers an enchanting story of FRI pole-vaulting, soldiering, stubbornness, leaping salmon, FRI poetry, the pursuit of the Impossible Standard, and the wild FRI rain-sodden history of fourteen acres of the worst farming FRI land in Ireland. Above all, Ruth embarks on a journey FRI through books. Three thousand, nine hundred and fifty-eight FRI books to be precise, which are piled high and line the walls FRI of her attic room. As Ruth searches for her father in their FRI pages, her story becomes a vital, witty and poignant FRI celebration of imagination, books, love and the healing FRI power of storytelling. FRI FRI History of the Rain is the latest novel from Niall Williams, FRI the author of bestselling novels including As It is In FRI Heaven, The Fall of the Light, Only Say the Word and Four FRI Letters of Love which is currently being adapted into a FRI film.
