To the Best of Our Knowledge: Art & Craft (English), Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, from sauerkraut to glass beads to bowties, word is that we’re going through a “makers’ movement” here in America. What are you making? In San Francisco, two radio producers are collecting stories in a project called “The Making Of..." Next, where's the line between craft, art and design? The head of research at London's Victoria and Albert Museum says, at heart, craft is about "showing your commitment to an idea." Then, so-called "outsider art" has been hot for a while now. What the art crowd calls it has changed, from l'art brut to self-taught art to vernacular art. Whatever you call it, the work of some these artists will join the cream of the contemporary art crop at the Venice Biennale this summer. After that, craft is all about handmade, right? Not any more. At one of the country's most well-respected craft schools, the pound of hammers and the hum of the potter’s wheel is harmonizing with zapping laser cutters and whirring microprocessors. Haystack Mountain School of Crafts is partnering with MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms to forge new means of making. Haystack Director Stuart Kestenbaum and MIT's Neil Gershenfeld give us the why and whatfor.Finally, in this final segment, we take a left turn to punk. Richard Hell co-founded the band Television in the mid-70s. He also created a look and sound that would eventually be called “punk.” [Broadcast Date: May 22, 2013] Language: English.

Dinosaur in a Haystack: Reflections in Natural History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1100min

Award-winning, best-selling author, evolutionary biologist, and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould takes the art of the essay to an unprecedented height of excellence in this vibrant collection of writings on science and natural history. From fads to fungus, baseball to beeswax, Gould always circles back to the great themes of time, change, and history, carrying listeners home to the centering theme of evolution. These unabridged selections were originally published in Natural History magazine. In April 2000, the US Library of Congress named Gould a "Living Legend". He died of cancer two years later at the age of 60. In 2008 he was posthumously awarded the Darwin-Wallace Medal along with 12 other recipients. Until 2008 this medal had been awarded only every 50 years by the Linnean Society of London. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Meredith MacRae, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr..

The Satisfiability Problem (eBook, PDF)

The satisfiability problem of propositional logic, SAT for short, is the first algorithmic problem that was shown to be NP-complete, and is the cornerstone of virtually all NP-completeness proofs. The SAT problem consists of deciding whether a given Boolean formula has a “solution”, in the sense of an assignment to the variables making the entire formula to evaluate to true. Over the last few years very powerful algorithms have been devised being able to solve SAT problems with hundreds of thousands of variables. For difficult (or randomly generated) formulas these algorithms can be compared to the proverbial search for the needle in a haystack. This book explains how such algorithms work, for example, by exploiting the structure of the SAT problem with an appropriate logical calculus, like resolution. But also algorithms based on “physical” principles are considered.

Love among the Haystacks (Adaptation): Oxford Bookworms Library Classics, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min

It is hay-making time on the Wookey farm. Two brothers are building the haystack, but thinking about other things – about young women, and love. There are angry words, and then a fight between the brothers. But the work goes on, visitors come and go, and the long, hot summer day slowly turns to evening. Then the sun goes down, covering the world with a carpet of darkness. From the hedges around the hayfield comes the rich, sweet smell of wild flowers, and the hay will make a fine, soft bed. An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Mark Twain original by Jennifer Bassett. Language: English. Narrator: Francis Middleditch.

July 1829. When a female corpse dressed in male clothing is discovered lying in a haystack in the Worcestershire countryside, rumour and superstition abound. For the sighting of a man in white robes fleeing from the scene leads to suspicion that the Devil's Monk is responsible for the crime. According to local legend, this vengeful apparition appears at intervals to molest and kill. Constable Thomas Potts is dismissive of the rumours - but without knowing the victim's identity, he'll need the devil's own luck to catch her killer. And when a second body turns up, Potts is under pressure to track down the murderer before hysteria engulfs the town. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gordon Griffin.

Cracking the Code , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min

A family doctor shares a mother and father's determination to save their son. This story of a father's search to find a diagnosis and ultimately a cure for his son's mystery disease is an inspiration that has set the world of genetic medicine and research abuzz with the possibilities for the future. After Cracking the Code screened on Australian Story, Stephen Damiani and his extraordinary ordinary family have been inundated with messages of support for Mission Massimo. Stephen has a background in construction economics and risk management. He teamed with geneticist Ryan Taft to map his family's genome in an attempt to discover the cause of his son's illness and in the process developed a diagnostic tool that will revolutionise diagnoses and treatments of diseases as complex and rare as Massimo's leukodystrophy to widespread diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previously, trying to find a specific gene mutation that might be responsible for a disease was a million times harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Stephen's suggestion that Ryan align the genomes, or DNA blueprints, of himself; his wife, Sally; as well as Massimo to find any unique variations and thereby create a smaller haystack was previously untried. Stephen convinced Massimo's neurologist, Dr Rick Leventer at Melbourne's RCH, that it was just a case of technology, statistics, data, and money, but it could be done. Once Taft was able to locate and isolate the specific genetic mutation of Massimo's DARS gene, the hunt was on to find other children with the same genetic mutation so that the diagnoses could be confirmed. With the help of Dr Adeline Vanderver at the Children's National Hospital in Washington DC, along with Prof. Marjo van der Knaap and Dr Nicole Wolf in Amsterdam, they were able to locate several other children with DARS mutations and have now moved on to the next phase of Mission Massimo: finding a cure.
