    Whole Peanut Bird and Squirrel Wreath Feeder

    by

    A bird and squirrel wreath feeder is a unique way to feed some harder to attract birds like woodpeckers.  Many people feel that adding a whole peanut feeder is a great distraction for the squirrels.  I highly recommend this feeder if you don't mind feeding some of the local squirrel population. Disclosure:  there are Amazon links in this post.  If you click I may make some coffee money but at absolutely no cost to you.

    Space, walking and non-verbal communications #activelearning

    by
    Learning walks are valuable conversational spaces. They tend to be non-confrontational and, for me, epitomise co-operative learning. Not only do they feel familiar spaces exemplifying a networked paradigm as people move naturally between small groups through the course of semi-structured … Continue reading

    Who is Chemist Robert Boyle?

    by

    Robert Boyle was an important guy in the 17th C and he is considered one of the founders of modern chemistry.  He was responsible for making chemistry a respected science.  Because of him, it became a real science not a study of alchemy and mysticism.  He introduced the idea of careful measurements and repeated experiments.

    Scientific Developments in Human History is Vital Learning

    by

    Scientific developments in human history are a fantastic teaching tool.  History has a huge impact on what we do today.  Learning about our scientific past improves our scientific literacy skills, makes us appreciate how far we have come and it is fun for everyone to learn that our ancient ancestors were totally inventive and smarter than we might have thought.

    Guest Post: the Last Word (for now) on Empire Szechuan Gourmet Cold Sesame Noodles

    by

    If you’ve read my 2013 post on this subject, Cold Sesame Noodles Revisited, or my even earlier post from 2009, you know that I’ve spent over 40 years trying to recreate the cold sesame noodles from Empire Szechuan Gourmet in New York. After reading my earlier posts, another passionate noodle fan reached out to me. […]

    CFP Mapping Desire – 25 years on: legacies, lessons, and lacunae (May & Sep 2020)

    by

    This is a call for papers (CFP) for CFP Mapping Desire – 25 years on: legacies, lessons, and lacunae (May & Sep 2020), part of the Conference of Irish Geographers (pre-conference symposium and conference 20-23rd May 2020, Dublin Ireland) and Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers (1st September-4th September 2020 London, England).

    The year 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Mapping Desire edited by David Bell and Gill Valentine. This edited book was the first collection of geographical work on sexuality, and has long played and continues to play a key role in cohering and legitimizing the geographies of sexualities/queer geographies as a distinct subfield within the academic study of Geography (at least within the Anglophone countries of the Minority World).

    We believe it is important to acknowledge this anniversary in order to celebrate this ground-breaking work, tracing its influence on subsequent work …
