here, Bradford city chaplain welcom to our 35th anniversary remembrance year of the Bradford city fire and we do indeed comedie to remember the 56 and also the 265 lives that were injured that day just a couple of thoughts really I was a young guy 14 nearly 15 at the time one of the things that was just incredible last year was to see literally thousands of a gweld i'n gyrswyr hwnnwau i'r unrhyw bryd yn ymwneud i'r cyfnodd yma yma yw'r unrhyw hwnnw yn y gweithio fel y newydd Cymru. Mae'n gyrswyr hwnnw yn fawr oedd bryd i'w amser, o ran yn ymwneud i'r holl o'ch ddweud yma yma, a'r holl o'n fathio i'r holl o'r holl o'ch ddweud o'r holl o'ch ddweud, ac nid i'n gweithio i'r holl o'ch ddweud o'r holl o'ch ddweud i'w amser, ffans ydyn nhw'n amser gydag i gweithio gyrddol i gael ffawr a'r hollion ddweud y byddwyd â'r ymddangos y ddy nid gan ymddangos. Felly gallwn y gallwn cymryd eich arlawn i ddweud hynny'n gallu chef, gallwn cofio'r gweithio? Fe'r gweithio'r gweithio a ddyn nhw'n bod y gallwn gwneud yma yn mynd yn yr hwnnw. Mae'r tyfi arhefion y plwyd cymaint o'n ei syniad mwy fyddio'r gyflym yn Silwyr mewn Gwyrddol yn Brathfood. ac mae'n fwyaf y cyflwytaeth i gyfathoron i'r cwmau, mae'n gwybod yma yn ddiwedig yn ymddangos, yn ymddangos, yn ymddangos ymddangos y Bradford cyflwytaeth.

Mae'n gwybod i'n gwybod i'r panffans oedd yn ymddangos cyflwytaeth, a gydag yma yma ymddangos ar gyfer yr adnod mewn gwybod i'r gwaith, I have come to remember the 56, and all the lives that were impacted by that day peers in the surrounding areas. I also want to think about the injured you know I remember maybe a year, 18 months after the fire being at Tong Recreation Centre a young girl, not even in her teens who came to go swimming and the husch Tones when we saw how badly he burned her legs. I know of the family members have been touched by that day. Fireno d Nicolas went Ghana when it got alright, Ffraeg, mae'r 56 a'r vi yn rhan o'r llyfrennu, allan nhw'n ddim yn rhan, a'r gweithio'r rhan o'r tîm mwyaf o'r cymdeithas o'r fflaes o'r rhaglen o'r cyffredin.

Mae'n ddod i'n ddod i'n ddod i'n ddod i'n ddod i'n ddod. a we say it as a city we will never forget the 56 we will always remember. I want to just close with a prayer. We remember the lives of all those who died in the fire of 1985. We give thanks to God for what they meant to us as families and friends and colleagues and for the ways in which those lives enriched our own lives and we give thanks to God also for what might have been. God in your mercy, hear our prayer. Our prayers go out to you this morning as we remember the 56. Thank you very much. Hello everybody, I'm councillor Doreen Lee and I am the current Lord Mayor of Bradford City, Bradford District. Marking the anniversary of the Bradford City fire disaster on the 11th of May every year is one of the most poignant gatherings in the district's calendar and this year marks the 35th anniversary of the fire. On the 11th of May we will stand with quiet dignity what many of us value most is being able to remember our loved ones together and with many others who have been similarly affected. Coming together in grief and sorrow and remembrance is a very important way of coping with our loss as is the sharing of our memories and the meeting up with familiar faces and other people touched by the tragedy. This year, given the Covid-19 pandemic, we are very sadly unable to come together as we normally would. And although we might not be able to stand alongside one another as in years past, we can still come together spiritually as a district and remember the 56 people who tragically lost their lives. The scores of others injured and scarred and the family and friends and colleagues who lost their loved ones. We have given quiet support to one another across three and a half decades and I am sure will continue to do just that both today and in the future. The bells of city hall will ring abide with me and you'll never walk alone and although centenary square may be empty, I know right across our district we will be stopping to remember everybody touched by that devastating spring afternoon in 1985, an afternoon that changed our city forever. I will be holding you in my thoughts and prayers as I know you will be with one another. I hope that the fact that we stand together figuratively, if not physically, will provide us all with some strength and some comfort on this sad day. A reading from the Hebrew scriptures from Psalm 121, I lift up my eyes to the hills from where will my help come, my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper. The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. Thanks be to God. We are remembering in our prayers the families and friends of those who lost their lives and were injured in the valley parade fire on the 11th of May 1985. Professional football teams give towns and cities something more than entertainment. They create a sense of community. Through their supporters and also the outreach that they do into the local area. Actually cities live their football teams. As an avid football fan for over half a century, I feel the results and the ups and downs of every local team that I've ever had. And tragic events like the Bradford fire go deep into the memory of a place. In Bradford Cathedral there is a memorial plaque erected in appreciation of the generosity of people from all over the world who contributed to a disaster appeal and raised four and a half million for the bereaved and the injured. It was an act of kindness and generosity born of togetherness. Today we're seeing that again as we struggle with the effects of coronavirus and see the generous response to Captain Tom Moore's initiative for the National Health Service. Human beings exhibit their best in the face of hardship. But they also find themselves looking for inspiration. Centres ago the poet who wrote Psalm 121, our reading today, finds inspiration in the hills surrounding ancient Jerusalem. Creation does that for us. There's something about landscapes that can point us towards the very character of God, stable, faithful, unchanging, whatever the weather. This is the God who is ever present to all of us in our joys and sorrows. May God bless you on this day of memories. I'm especially grateful for the Valley Parade Fire Memorial Service this year because it feels like an important reference point. It's as if the world has changed since the Covid virus took hold and we went into lockdown. It's like we're living in another country. But in this new country there are still points of reference for us in Bradford and this memorial is one of the most powerful. Remembering the 56 who died from Bradford and Lincoln in that horror 35 years ago today. Remembering the 265 who were injured and the many, many more who still live with pain and terrible memories. But today is a reference point also because it reminds us that as horrific and dark as that moment was, there were also quite extraordinary points of light, acts of bravery, heroism, care, compassion and faith that also remain. We need those reference points because we are now in a time of darkness as well. People we love have died. Others are struggling for breath or fighting their way back to health even as we speak. Some people's livelihoods are on the line. So I've got something here, a legacy of that terrible moment in our history as a city. You know what this is. You may even have worn one of them 35 years ago. It's a Bradford sling. You know the story how almost all of the casualties were taken from the fire to the BRI burns unit. There hundreds received surgery within only a few days from Professor Sharp and others. Many of the burns were to the hands and they had to be elevated. So Professor Sharp came up with this brilliant idea, simple but brilliant, some foam rubber, some straps and some Velcro. And you know too how that brilliant idea travelled out from Bradford and went around the world so that today, even as we speak, there are people who've never heard of Yorkshire who are wearing a Bradford sling. I believe in a God who brings light from darkness, hope from despair, life from death. That's the story of Jesus. That's the story of Easter that we celebrated just a couple of weeks ago. I also believe in this city, a city of entrepreneurs like Professor Sharp or the staff currently at the BRI who got a local gin distillery to deliver a consignment of proof alcohol to sterilise their PPE equipment or who designed another ventilator that uses less oxygen to help their COVID patients. That for me is the reference point of this memorial service. It's not that Bradford doesn't have any pain, but it's that Bradford knows how to take that pain and craft it to make something which is not just a blessing for us here, but a blessing for the world. At this place of enduring memorial in the heart of our city, let us pray. Let us remember the lives of all those who died in the fire of 1985. And as we give thanks to God for all they meant to us and for the ways in which their lives enriched our life. So also we give to God all that might have been. God in your mercy, hear our prayer. For all those caught up in the disaster, for those who still carry scars in their body, in their mind, for the bereaved and all those struggling with sorrow, that each might know the light of God's presence and his hope. God in your mercy, hear our prayer. We pray for those who take part in sport. We pray for the safety and care of all who play sport and for all who support them in our own country and around the world. God in your mercy, hear our prayer. We give thanks for the people of Bradford and especially for the community that live around the stadium and who opened their doors in compassion and service that day. We give thanks for the city of Lincoln and we pray for their civic authorities, for their football clubs, for their shared concern and their well-being, for mutual understanding to grow so that burdens may be shared and our cities bound together as places of hope. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer. We pray for one another, for the days that lie ahead of us, that we may use them wisely in the service of God's and of one another. Support us, dear lords, each day of our lives until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over and our work done. Then, lords, grant us safe lodging, a holy rest and peace at the last through the love and mercy of God. Amen. And so we gather our thoughts and prayers together as we join together and say, our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. So let us honour and pray for all those we remember this day as we hold a minute's silence. Amen. I remember the 35th anniversary of the dreadful fire of Bradford Stadium. Chris and I have been honoured to attend the Bradford Memorial for the past two years and we are so sorry not to be with you this year. A big thank you to the person who is laying the flowers as a remembrance of the friendship between Bradford and Lincoln. My thoughts and prayers are particularly with the families and the friends of the Bradford victims and also for the young people who have never got to meet them. All of the people I'm thinking of with you today as we battle the tragedy of loss caused by COVID-19 and the financial and personal cost to so many in Bradford and Lincoln. I know we will be strong in our mutual determination to support our vulnerable and the NHS. Lincoln football supporters still talk to me about the loss of their friends in the Bradford fire and also with the Stacey West stand at the football ground they continue to remember Bill Stacey and June West who were lifelong fans of Lincoln. And we also remember the 54 Bradford supporters and all those who were injured. Although the virus is keeping us apart this year I hope and pray that we can actually turn our message into a personal message when we visit you next year. On behalf of York Shambles Service we remember the 56 lives lost and hundreds injured in the Bradford City Fire 35 years ago. The tragedy marked a dark day in the city and was a worst fine disaster in the history of British football. Many of our staff were involved in responding to the incident on the day and it is something I know has stayed with them throughout their careers. Let those who perished never be forgotten. On the 11th of May 1985 54 Bradford City fans and two Lincoln City fans sadly lost their lives and 250 people were seriously injured in a fire at Bradford City's football stadium. This was indeed a challenging and poignant incident for West Yorkshire Fan Rescue Service and it had a huge impact on many firefighters across the organisation as it did for many services and agencies who attended on that tragic day. Each year we remember the bravery and heroism of individuals who on that day tried in vain to save more lives with very little thought for their own safety. This included other football fans, police, fire and ambulance crews and indeed some of the football players and club officials themselves. The memories of those fans who died is something that West Yorkshire Fire Rescue Service paid tribute to each year and would normally come together with the people of Bradford and other emergency services to pay their respects. This year will feel different as we cannot come together as a community as we'd like because of the impact of the Covid pandemic. However it's still really important for us to mark this 35th anniversary and we will do so by laying Reeves in private ceremonies at both the football ground and in Centenary Square and this will be done over the coming days. Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with the 56 people the fans who lost their lives along with their families. We also pay tribute to Bradford City Football Club and Lincoln City Football Club along with everybody else who were affected by this tragedy. Take care and stay safe. Hi, my name's Steve Greenbank and I'm Chief Inspector for Neighbor Police in Bradford. Last year I had the honour of laying the Reeves for West Yorkshire Police in the memorial in Centenary Square, Bradford. On 11 May 1985 supporters attended a game of football, a valley parade and 56 supporters did not go home. It was supposed to be a day of special celebrations and the football played that year under Trevor Cherry was brilliant. I was a 12 year old boy straight away and I was able to go home. I was one of the lucky ones. A supporter of Bradford City and Lincoln will not forget the day a day of celebration ended in devastation. I worked with police officers in my police career who worked at the ground that day and carried the scars throughout their career. I have neighbours that have also lost their bloods in that fire. Clearly under the COVID restrictions we cannot attend a memorial in person this year. But we can all still pay our respects. The 56 that died that day will never be forgotten by the City of Bradford and Lincoln. Hello everyone. I'm Ije Mohajun, Professor of Plastic Surgery and Director of Research at the Plastic Surgery and Balancer Research Unit at the University of Bradford and Consultant of Plastic Surgery at Bradford Teaching Hospitals. The month of May is a particularly sad month in our calendar every year as we remember the 56 and countless others who were affected by the disaster at Bradford 35 years ago. As you know, the research unit was established by my predecessor Professor David Shaw following the Bradford fire. Since then we have carried out research work in our labs at the University of Bradford to help improve scarring and wound healing in patients suffering from burns and trauma. I'm proud to say that we have been able to produce some very high quality research that has been published and presented at various national and international meetings and has won us various accolates as put us on the international lab in Plastic Surgery. All this will not have been possible without your support. I'm very grateful to you for it. 35 years down the line, Bradford now faces another health care crisis. At the Bradford Royal Infirmary, we have been working with the University of Bradford at the Bradford Royal Infirmary. We are having to deal with the disease for which we don't even have a cure. 128 patients have died in Bradford alone and thousands over the UK. The irony is that these deaths could have been completely avoided if everybody takes the role seriously in preventing the spread of the virus. The only way we can protect ourselves from this is by staying at home and staying safe at the moment. As the lockdown has lifted in the coming days, it is vital that we continue to respect social distancing and take the usual precautions for months to come until we are over the situation. Today, we remember the 56. But let us also remember the thousands who have succumbed to COVID-19 and over 100 healthcare professionals who have lost their lives in looking after these patients. We will never forget the 56 that we lost 35 years ago. Like these 56 candles, may their light shine forever. So let's receive God's blessing.    God bless this great and precious city. Bless Lincoln. Bless Ham. And those other places represented here virtually today with God's peace and prosperity. God bless all of you and all those whom you love living and departed this day and always. Amen.

If you recollect Professor Raymond Williams in key words, he had talked about the fact that words are not stable. They keep changing through historical experience, although he did say that creativity is the only word with a consistently positive meaning. Very often words gain positive or negative meaning and also their meaning gains different kinds of associations. So the term culture according to him in its earlier formation in its modern form, it sort of had this connection of particular, it sort of let me read this actually as it is. The independent noun culture began its complicated modern history from the extension of particular processes to a general process. Now I sort of feel that this will give us an interesting lead in terms of some of the activities that I want to now add to the psychosocial dimension that we have talked about or the autotelic dimension that we talked earlier. So now let us see what I want to add to the discussion. Now this is of course based on my personal perception of what we need to do because very often you know when one interacts with young people there is a certain sense of you know their direction, their involvement and various other experiential things that one begins to notice. Because it is a very fortunate situation when you teach young people you are constantly in touch with changes that unfold in society because all of these are concentrated within these young people and their you know future directions. One thing that I feel is sometimes missing is a sense of some kind of active thriving relationship with nature and the term nature is with the capital N. So therefore, this particular exercise is actually meant to recover richer connections by interweaving language that is nature and culture related historical semantics and experience through what I have described as pastoral exercises. So I hope this idea is clear to you. So in order to extend our discussion further so far we have talked about psychosocial stages as stages that show the relationship between the individual and the social interrelationships or the social institutions which have been created in order to satisfy the needs of that particular stage. But we have actually perhaps not talked about everything, it is not possible also because after all you know actual life is amorphous and you know the social sciences like psychology or anthropology what they try to do is to extrapolate certain aspects concentrate on them and provide some key insights. But after all when you write none of these sort of ideas you know compartmentalized ideas will help you. So one thing that I feel is missing in those psychosocial insights or those psychosexual insights or the autotaric insights which also comes from developmental psychology where the whole purpose is to strengthen the sense of the self. So what is missing is this active exploration of our psychonatural interrelationship. Now this I am coining this term in order to draw your attention to the fact that we have actually a very sort of primordial kind of relationship with nature. Now the term nature itself is very complex but we will try to again use the sense of nature as Raymond Williams has evoked it in a certain definition that he has provided. So let us first of all see what this exercise is all about and I will also then dip into the sense of culture which Raymond Williams had evoked which was also related to interface with nature and that is how I view that earlier you know connotation of the word culture. The reason what it is you know interesting to go back to that definition is maybe perhaps nostalgic or it may be related to the fact that actually in childhood we inevitably have a very active relationship with nature. Now it is possible to conceive of childhood experience where this is really not so. In case you have not had a very active thriving relationship with nature I think the absence itself could be a subject matter of deliberation, discussion and introspection. So let us look at this exercise first the pastoral exercise number one is explore early connotations of the word culture overcome polarizations and alienation from the natural world I mean that is the purpose of the composition and so now this is the exercise and as I said the exercise is based on Raymond Williams and his statement in key words where he says that culture in early use was a noun of process basically of tending crops and animals. So this is the first question have a close look at it. Have a real or imaginary experience of tending a garden crop plant try and give as many details of the process as possible to refer to books that help you enjoy the process further remember reading is an important part of writing. So this is one activity but we also would like you to share your writing with other members of your group decide if individually or collectively you would like to give shape to this activity in any way that is creative for you. Now I do not want to prescribe anything but you can decide for yourself. So this is not this may be a composition activity but you can also redefine it in some other ways alright then there is a variation of an exercise from the writer's book that we would like you to again attempt in the middle of a blank page write down the list of plants you wish to focus on to the left of this list write a column of adjectives which describe the plants their texture special features memories they evoke to the right of this the list write a column of verbs which illuminate the objects at the process of tending the verb should be energetic and exact. Now this exercise we will also refine it further and give you some samples to in lecture 10 which will be the concluding lecture of this module. So right now I do not want to show you any samples I do not want to you know limit this activity I am opening it up for what I would sort of tend to consider as very vital very interesting fascinating area of our own being which I can perhaps use this newly coined label of psycho nature inside or psycho natural inside into oneself. So now after undertaking this particular activity and I am moving rapidly but you know you can undertake these activities at your own pace you can also go back and forth you may have to go back to earlier lectures to again make sure that you have understood the idea because these activities are built on activities and ideas that have been discussed earlier it is not possible to repeat them all the time. So this is an act of consolidation and also an act of moving forward with more discussion more possibilities more angles of vision in teaching one has to develop building blocks. So these are building blocks that are being shared with you. Now from plants you can shift your attention to animals and of course you notice that I am using plants and animals in relationship to the term nature and in terms of tending of plants and animals that Raymond Williams talked about earlier in his definition of culture. So now compare and contrast the experience of seeing animals in any setting such as a forest zoo an urban setup a rural setup wherever in the domestic framework you make your choice and write a brief description of your experience. Secondly refer to any book or magazine that enhances your understanding or dislike of animals discuss your write up and reading list with your group. So again you know this may reveal interesting facets of your own sensibility and also the kind of social and cultural framework you have been exposed to but again I suppose my subtext if you if I can use that word or my assumption here is that there is this natural relationship with everything around us you know then total environment the natural environment which sometimes we are not aware of so it is good to be able to think about it. For further knowledge building we have provided a list to you and the reading list is provided to overcome polarizations pertaining to knowledge of nature and alienation from the natural world. So this is a very you know you can say charged and personalized way of looking at convergences and divergences because I mean I feel that when we talk about our own sense of self there is much more to us than we realize there are richer relationships that we actually have we may have curbed them or we have not been exposed to this kind of discourse and discussion. So I have taken the liberty of interpreting convergences in terms of texts that are very accessible to you and also that also help us understand the world around us you know very sharply. So now these texts that I have chosen they have scientific and literary narratives intermixed and I find that very very interesting. I think when we talk about nature and study of nature now I am shifting my attention from your own personal experience and also these exercises we did in order to understand ramification of culture and how it refers to the relationship with nature. In its earlier formation it gave us some sense of that relationship in simpler societies otherwise it is a very complex economic and social order but nostalgically we can go back and forth and we can also then evoke certain possibilities within ourselves. So this particular you know discussion of nature inevitably leads to the discussion of systematic study of nature which often the term science is used for that purpose. And therefore we will also include the term science while we are trying to work out various relationships where we do not really promote polarizations between different systems of knowledge because actually in our being we have everything which is connected you know vitally connected and these systems of knowledge they of course advance our understanding of certain aspects of reality but for our own being we need to have a larger sense of human life or human experience. So now let us add this term here and very quickly I would refer to Raymond Williams definition where he says that the theoretical and methodical study of nature is now called the natural sciences and subjects such as physics chemistry and biology these are associated with the natural sciences. The reason you know this is chosen is because the term science also has undergone a lot of transformations in its original sense it was a synonym for knowledge but it has also undergone a lot of changes historically. So this is where our discourse is pitched in terms of polarization and we are trying to overcome polarizations. So the term natural science when we talk about nature is very relevant for us. This particular definition is very interesting and we will work on it in the next lecture because we will look at national discourse in terms of young people the sense of youth and many other related issues in the next lecture but definitely this particular definition has seeped our national discourse through Padit Nehru's interpretive statements, policy statements when India became independent. You know this sense of science as this you know the study of nature and the significance of the study of nature in order to understand the modern world. When used in the context of social or human sciences when the term science is used in these contexts it refers to methodological rigor it does not mean the same thing as it you know it evokes some different relationship when we talk about natural sciences and human sciences. So keep that in mind and if you want more explanation maybe we can find these interactive mechanisms through which this discussion can be advanced but keep the sense of nature natural science in mind while looking at the reading list. So now when you start reading from the reading list that is provided what I would like you like you to do now is to not only just read but also to summarize what you have read and in fact learn to paraphrase carefully because summarizing is a very very important academic skill and it cannot really you know be it cannot be developed automatically. You have to undertake this exercise frequently in order to develop the skill of summarizing meaningfully. So you can take up any summarizing notebook or a sort of language book which teaches you how to prepare summaries but I would like you to undertake this activity very regularly with anything that you read. The second thing is that your writing you should make sure is error free it is not enough to just want to write but you have to learn to write correctly and your expressive writing also needs to be grammatically correct and I say this because I have just finished evaluation work and on the one hand a lot of students in that particular group had zeal for creative writing for composition and yet you know the kind of care that is necessary for simple things like correct you know sentence construction spellings etc. Often I find people have become a little less careful about this so please make sure that your writing is error free. Also I like you to share your ideas your writing, your readings with a lot of other people and try and create a network of interested people because these are new ideas new ways of doing academic work and I think if you begin to share your ideas with people then may be there will be enough people for this idea to be institutionalized. So, now this is the suggested reading list and unfortunately I noticed that some of these books are really not very widely known I have always wondered as to why this is so but in any case very quickly I will give you some sense of these books and I use them as an example of what I describe as narratives where both scientific and literary narratives are intermixed this is what I had said earlier. So, how is it intermixed in Menaka Gandhi and Yasmin Singh's Brahma's hair in this kind of a book you get a balanced picture because it ends each chapter ends with the botanical description of the tree. So, now this is the kind of material which I feel in you know is very useful in case you have not been exposed to this kind of reading it is almost like training or field guide for looking at not only natural objects and natural entities around you but also to begin to see how these are seen by different kinds of people what kind of fantasy or what kind of mythological structure is created around them and how it seeps into the consciousness of the people there are lots of festivals lots of rituals associated with many trees. The second book that I have recommended here is a book of birds by Gribal of course Ali Mali's books are very well known I have of course chosen books where the pictorial quality is very good. So, Vikram Gribal's book Birds of India which is a field guide. So, again you can you look at these field guides which give you scientific information about the birds but they also from time to time dip into cultural information like variety of names or certain other cultural associations of some of these you know the birds and in order to add to the pastoral exercise I videotaped a bird which according to Vikram Gribal is a sun bird she sort of built a nest near my kitchen so I will be able to share it with you if time permits. My IIT home is located atop a rocky landscape garden close to the Pawai Lake. Video recordings have added to the pleasures of watching the beauty and the drama of the landscape. This particular nest building caught my attention because the net itself as you can see looks like a bird hanging upside down. It seemed precariously purged on the edge of the single branch of the red hibiscus or jaswant. The video helped me capture the nervous movements of the bird. She is right now gone to pick up flowers and insects and twigs. It also helped me capture its wearing twitters, flights back and forth. To use Salim Ali's words the flower bird was happy building its nest close to the bird flower. When it comes back to the nest can you see if it is a purple sun bird or a flower pecker? I think it's a purple rum sun bird found in peninsular India. Storing the observations in the video form is a mode of logging one's observations. I am uncertain about its immediate connection to my writing process. The nest and its precarious delicacy evoked in coherent feelings. I hope you will enjoy looking at it. There are couple of other things. I have started using video as a medium so that I can understand what it can do. It's a new medium and also how it can enhance what we already are familiar with in a more positive way. So we may be very observant about our surroundings but does it add to it in any way? Does it modify it in some ways? Well I still have not reached any conclusions but if I do I will share them with you. The next book which I recommend very strongly is Pradeep Kishan's Trees of Delhi although it's a book devoted to the absolutely wonderful astoundingly beautiful trees of Delhi but it is really a very lovingly written book with outstanding pictorial quality and I think both for scientific and cultural information and also horticultural information. It's a very, very useful book. You will enjoy that very much and finally Conrad Lorenz's King Solomon's Ring for Animals. My favorite chapter in that book is The Covenant which is about the man and dog relationship and I am also using the word man I should be saying human and dog relationship. So this book also I would recommend really very strongly and this Professor Lorenz wrote it for a common reader. So it's really not a book which is meant exclusively for the expert although I am sure zoologists, ethologists or mythologists all of them would enjoy this book by the great Austrian Nobel Prize winning naturalist and one can really learn to watch and communicate with birds like King Solomon after reading this book. So these are the other books that we had dived into and I hope you enjoyed this segment and even if there are these absences in your experiential framework, please don't feel ruffled by it. In fact these absences often give us very important insights and these are separated activities that is activities that draw your attention to certain aspect of your experience but the totality will be infinitely more beautiful, infinitely more mysterious and infinitely more challenging and that's where our creativity is tested. Thank you.


I find it really interesting to talk about attributing meaning to random attempts because often teachers feel like this is crazy. This feels really uncomfortable. But what we need to do is look at what we do with young, typically developing children. We attribute meaning all the time to typically developing children. That child says, da, da, da. And we say, daddy! He said daddy! And the kid looks us like, oh, really? But you know what? He just became much more likely that that child was going to say daddy. That child so was not saying daddy. We heard it. We attributed meaning. It became more likely. When a student is using a communication device and says something, I attribute meaning. So if we're reading a book and that student says who, and now I attribute meaning. I assume that they're asking a question about the character in the book. And I say, oh, who? Well, I think that was that dog that's the really bad dog in my book. That's who it was. And by doing that, I'm telling them, what does it mean to say who? Maybe that student didn't know that before, and I can help attribute meaning. By the time we have students scribbling, by the time we get goods communication systems in place, they're a lot older. And we feel like everything should be meaningful, and they should just know how to do it. No, they shouldn't, because they never got a chance to scribble with writing. They never got a chance to babble with language. And so we need to give them a chance to explore their communication sets and to explore the alphabet and to scribble. And we need to be really good about attributing meaning so that it becomes very meaningful to them and so that they can grow and learn from their initial attempts that really weren't intentional, possibly, and that possibly weren't meaningful, but we can add intentionality and we can add meaning and we can help them grow and learn.


And in Rainer shine the annual Farm by the Lake festival never fails to bring out a crowd. We have a look at the famous venue and concert for this week's in focus. Farm by the Lake is known for its scenic view and in the summer, it becomes the ultimate spot for relaxation and free music. Farm by the Lake was started back in 1983 by a man named Richard Davids, although the concerts started five years ago for the 30th anniversary. Richard Davids always meant it to be just a place to come and contemplate your life and contemplate nature and so we have lots of areas around here that you can just come and just sit and visit or go look at the lake. I think everybody enjoys coming out to Farm by the Lake because it is a natural setting. It's very relaxed, it's very laid back. A lot of times we'll just place the chairs up against a tree and people will pick a chair and they'll pick a spot where they want to sit. Even with the water rain outside, the concerts will still see a crowd. The people usually come for the music, but they stay even longer to hang out with one another. I just enjoy nature working out on the trails and just enjoying everything, the concerts and helping all wherever again. The concert series is only one part of the Farm by the Lake experience. You can rent a cabin or hike and ski on over three miles of trails on the property. The non-profit is all about making it a place for everyone in the community. We do things for renting out the cabins, but so much of what we do here is much for the community as it is for just making money. And in the near future, organizers are planning to add on. Soon, there will be a bog walk by the lake. Not to mention a few new activities added for fall and winter. We're also going to start in March. We're going to have a first annual Skeeter-Beater Snowshoe race, 5k and 10k race out on Lake Lamont. And you can learn more about Farm by the Lake by checking out their Facebook page.

So there's a lot of talk lately about acid-free products. Now on what basis are products defined as acid-free? Well, it's all about the formula. So if there are no acidic components in the formula, it is basically an acid-free formula. So look for ingredients like acrylic acid or metacrylic acid, and what they do is actually they chemically corrode the nail plate so they form little holes or micro-grooves for the gel to hold onto the nail. Now what you should not confuse this with is pH value. People think acid is probably a very low pH, that's not the case, because gels do not have any water inside, and pH is only used for measuring the acidity of an aqueous solution. So we are not talking about that. So now how can we check if our product contains acid or not? Well that's really very simple because in Europe we need to apply the correct rules for the labels and you will find this on the label in the inky list. The inky list will give you all the ingredients and if it has acid you should find it there. Now sometimes it is also mentioned specifically on a product if it does not contain acid. For instance, to give you the choice between a product containing acid and a product containing no acid, in which case it stays clearly acid-free formula. If this is not mentioned on the label then this should not be the case but then I would advise you to contact the supplier of your products.


Everybody, Dr. O here. In this short video, we're just going to cover the three hamstring muscles. I covered them in the thigh muscle, or the thigh video. But I also want to give you a little mnemonic device to help you remember which one's which. So the hamstrings is not a muscle. There's not anything on here called the hamstrings. It's a group of muscles, and the three muscles are the biceps femoris, the semi-tendinosis, and the semi-membranosus. And I'm saying them in that order, because the mnemonic device to remember them from lateral to medial is btm or bend towards me. So the biceps femoris is the most lateral of the three, the semi-tendinosis is in the middle, and the semi-membranosus is the most medial of the three. So bend towards me is a great mnemonic device to remember the hamstrings from lateral to medial. So the biceps femoris is called that because it's in the femoral region and has two heads. It is involved in flexion of the knee, which you can see on the screen. This is called that because it has a nice, big, flat, membranous tendon or insertion point there underneath the other muscles, but you can't see that. And then that also involved in flexion of the knee. And then semi-tendinosis has the longest tendon, the insertion point distally there under the knee. So the semi-tendinosis look for the longest tendon that travels down below the knee. Semi-membranosus, if you dissected the body or took off more muscles, you'd see this like sheath-like origin there. And then we have the biceps femoris is the one with two heads. So biceps femoris, semi-tendinosis, semi-membranosus, those are the three muscles that make up the hamstrings. And then remember, BTM or bend towards me. Biceps femoris is the most lateral, semi-tendinosis is in the middle, semi-membranosus is the most medial. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.
