affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Nature's Toy Box". There 
is good news and bad news as nanotechnology begins to change 
everything. It is converging with biology, IT and the cognitive 
sciences, and will affect whole economies, the way we live, and
medical care. It is already happening, and the science is ahead of 
public understanding as Amanda Armstrong reports. [T;%]
	Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "The Ord River Forty 
Years On". In 1964, engineers dammed the Ord River and marked the start

out forty years on. [%]

homosexuality, and what he meant by "Justification" and Christ being 
"the end of the Torah". [T;%]

Hacks". We follow one man's obsession with finding examples of the

Memorabilia Game". Sports memorabilia has become a multi-million dollar

Australians, the political structures that govern them and the way they 
get along with each other and their regional neighbours. "Program #7: 
"The Internationalisation  of Education". Between 1980 and 2000, 
accelerated demand for formal qualifications  led to an increase in 
tertiary-educated Australians in the workforce.  The same period also 
saw a big rise in the number of international  students coming to study

	Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out 
music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the 
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists. 
Tim writes, "A program of contrast and texture.... sounds a bit like an 
ad for wall paint, but there are some valid comparisons [please leave 
the wall paper music jokes in the foyer].... there is a fully diverse 
sound palate.... for ingredients... see below. There is the dj from the 
beastie boys, a new genre of music that is sort of afrocentric, 10th 
album from sq favourites from hull, local post rock, delicate
piano with dirty breaks, a teaming of local electronic artists and 
classical players, and the album of the year [well I think it to be 
pretty great] that is an improv electro acoustic set. [T;%]

1305 -
	THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues, 
folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio. 
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
		Wed.: Nadya Golski was born in Tasmania to an Australian mother and a 
Polish-Russian father. She grew up in Melbourne, Canberra and Papua New 
Guinea and went to Poland when she was 19 to work in a theatre company 
that travelled by horse and cart from village to village. This time in 
Europe inspired her to sing Balkan music, which is well represented on 
her new album ‘Crazy Moon’ – recorded with the 101 Candles Orkestra, an 
all-star group of Sydney musicians including Jonathan Zwartz, Chad 
Wackerman and Rick Falkiner. The album also delves into French and 
Spanish language originals when it’s not taking you on a wild Balkan 
ride.
		Thu.: The artist known as Bonga (which means 'he who searches' or 'he 
who goes ahead') has one of Africa’s more beautiful voices. For many 
years he’s been Angola’s most popular songster at home and abroad. You 
can dance to his new CD Kaxexe, enjoy its affinities with Portugese 
fado and Brazilian samba, or simply revel in the husky warmth of 
Bonga’s voice. But it’s worth paying attention to his words: the former 
exile from Portuguese colonialists has long been outspoken against 
'independent' Angola’s corrupt, warring factions. At the core of his 
songs is a passionate conviction that 'we must live without harming 
others'.
		Fri.: ‘Lagrimas Negras’ is a unique album – a collaboration between 
octogenarian Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes and flamenco singer Diego el 
Cigala. The repertoire is of boleros, the slow standards that Cuban and 
other Spanish language singers love to croon, but Diego el Cigala 
brings such a flamenco ferocity to these pieces that he transforms 
them. Spaniard Javier Colina plays bass on the entire album and alto 
saxophonist Paquito D’Rivero and violinist Federico Britos make guest 
appearances.
