hydrogen and carbon. Integrated: bringing together chemical and
mechanical technologies. "Solar Sacred Site". Creative thinking at the
University of New South Wales sets new world records for the ability of
solar cells to convert light into electricity. "Beyond Trough Lollies".
The perpetual waterfall is used everywhere to clean men's toilets, but
simpler technologies make large water savings and actually work better.
A number of Sydney municipal councils are turning off the taps in
public urinals, with the help of some useful microbes. [%]
2105 -

Saturday
+++++0005 INSIDE OUT - presented by Isabelle Genoux. A weekly
programme that brings out personal views from the Pacific region and
stories gathered in Australia, within Pacific communities. [%]
+++++0045 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: "If
Only I Could See Through Your Eyes". Do two people, both of whom
respond similarly to an array of visual allusions, inevitably share
identical perceptual experiences? Can we know exactly what others
experience? Professor John Bradshaw, a neurologist from Monash
University in Melbourne, recently viewed a documentary on conjoined
twin girls and wondered
whether this extraordinary experiment of nature might hold the key.
Could this address the question of the privacy of one's individual
perception. [%]
0105 ASIA PACIFIC WEEKEND EDITION* (refer to Fri. 2205)
0130 THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary--from
business, to sport, science and the arts. Community leaders and quiet
achievers. They drop in, share their stories and play a bit of music.
0205 BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "The Detention Industry".
It's the latest global growth industry: immigration detention.
Immigration detention is now a billion-dollar business. It’s closely
linked to the private prison industry, otherwise known as the
‘corrections-industrial complex’. In Australia, Europe and the United
States, a small number of multinational corporations are competing for
government contracts to lock up asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.
And some of the biggest banks and investment funds are lining up for a
slice of the action. [T;%]
0255 REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK* - background to the news.
0305 RURAL REPORTER* (refer to 1905 Fri.)

0405 BOOKS AND WRITING - in-depth discussions focusing on books,
ideas and writing with Ramona Koval. This week: "Carmel Bird". Ramona
Koval talks with Australian author Carmel Bird about her latest novel
and the popularity of Tasmania as a setting for
novelists - both those who were born on the island and those who have
visited it only in their imagination. [T;%]
0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith.
[abc.net.au/rn/arts/booktalk/default.htm] for details. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week: Get out the air guitar, or the air footy or
cricket bat, because the Australian Express is going to explore the
fascinating relationship between musicians and sport. There’s also a
firm relationship between the English and Australians. Over 200 years
immigration from England has been so comprehensive that Australia is
the second most English country in the world and a new book - The
English in Australia - reveals why this is so. And there’s good news
for the hearing impaired because a hearing aid, which, rather like a
radio, sorts out all of the incoming signals, and tunes in to the one
you want to hear is not far away and, as we’ll hear, Australia is
leading the charge in this respect.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Left
Brain/Right Brain--Fact or Fiction?" Are you a right or left-brain
person? Intuitive, artistic, lateral and visual? Or logical, verbal,
detailed and analytical? Can the distinction be made? All in the Mind
unravels the popular
rhetoric about the two hemispheres of our brain. [%]

of Daluk, or women rangers from across the Northern Territory. They're
carrying out vital environmental protection work on Aboriginal lands.
[T;%]
0905 THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "The Science
of Torture".
In 1985 the Science Show produced a special program on the science of
torture which included interviews with victims of torture and an
analysis of how and why people become
torturers. Sadly, nearly 20 years later, this subject is still current.
[%]
0955 BUSINESS WEEKEND*
+++++1005 INSIDE OUT (refer to 0005)
+++++1045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Secret Chinese
Women's Business". In remote villages of southern China, there's a way
of writing that was known only to the women of the villages. None of
the men understood it or used it. Nobody's sure exactly when or why
this Women's Script - 'Nushu' (noo-shoo) - was invented. What is known
is that women would often have to move away from their home villages
when they got married, and so used this private way of communicating to
tell each other about their lives. [%]

1130 ALL IN THE MIND (refer to 0532) [T;%]

Harmer, all of whom are touring at present. And two Australian
composers whose music comes from very different traditions: Tristram
Cary who came out of the British electro acoustic studios and film
music and Liza Lim, who has constantly looked to the east for musical
connections. [T;%]
1405 BACKGROUND BRIEFING (refer to 0205)
1455 CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK
1505 DISTANT MIRRORS DIMLY LIT - a six-part radio series developed
and presented by Australian born classicist Peter Toohey. It examines
how the lives of the ancients relate to ours, through the exploration
of six contemporary themes: Anger, Privacy, Leisure, Depression, Family
and Memory. This week: "Depression". The Western world is depressed.
Record numbers of people are diagnosed with the malady. Young people,
the aged, women, men, rural workers, immigrants, blue-collar, managers;
no one seems immune. Not even the multi-million dollar leisure industry
can keep it at bay. Is it unique to our modern world? Did the Greeks or
Romans get depressed as we understand it? Did they conceive of suicide
as a solution, as, unfortunately, many do in our world? [T;%
(abc.net.au/rn/learning/lifelong/features/classics/)]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)

1005 KEYS TO MUSIC (refer to 0005)
1105 SUNDAY PROFILE - In-depth analysis of the major news in
Australia and around the world with Geraldine Doogue. This week: "Bob
Carr", the well known Premier of NSW. It’s not quite so well known that
he is, like other Labor politicians, Kim Beazley and Bob Hawke, a long
time student and fan of the United States – his knowledge of the civil
war is possibly too vast – it’s legendary anyway. He has just returned
from the annual America- Australia leadership dialogue, which draws
together leading politicians, business people and journalists from both
countries. As a Labor leader fascinated with the United States, Bob
Carr holds contradictory views – he’s wary of the present
administration, thinks they are adventurers, but he admires the
country’s can-do spirit and its humanitarian initiatives in Africa and
the Balkans. And of course, he has quite a few ideas on what the
Australian people, and more particularly, the Labor Party should put
first in our relationship with the States. [%]

Islander people. This week Karen Dorante talks to Aboriginal leader

1255 THE PULSE - Australian new music.
1305 ENCOUNTER - the religious experience of multicultural
Australia. This week: "Reconciliation". Encounter presents Fergal
Keane's moving account of Rwanda, ten years on from the genocide. This
BBC World Service documentary is a reminder of the ongoing struggles of
Africa and of the fragile but persistent nature of peace,
reconciliation and community re-building throughout the world. With the
backdrop of the war in Iraq, the handover to an interim government
there and the constant terror of revenge and counter-revenge in the
Middle East, Keane's encounter with the victims of genocide in Rwanda
is both a revelation of tragedy and a template of hope for the human
community. [%]

1705 SOUND QUALITY - an hour of music with Tim Ritchie that grabs
the mould and gives it a good shake.
[www.abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for playlists and program
details. This week Tim writes, "I usually have some smart [or at least,
I think smart] comment to set up each week's show. I'm rejecting this
model [for this week]... I think by now, you and I have built up enough
of a feeling of confidence and mutual admiration that you can trust
that I would not waste 55" of your life unless I felt sure that I could
deliver something worthwhile... and this the case for this week....
some details? ok." [T;%]
