The space agency sends the UFO an urgent message littered with gobbledygook, promting the UFO's plain response, ""Doesn't anyone [on Earth] speak English?""  Morton, Henry, and Miss Newton tell the space agency to send the message, ""Turn back before you destroy the Earth,"" which the UFO understands perfectly, and complies.

title: Literacy in a Digital Age 3

overview:
John O'Leary is the president of Frontier College, an organization which historically took to the wilds of Canada in order to teach working men and women how to read. In this talk, O'Leary looks back at the history of the college as well as the current challenges it faces in bringing literacy to the new frontier -- Canada's inner cities.

Robert Logan is a noted physicist ... which might make him seem an unlikely choice to address a conference on the future of literacy. But Logan is also author of The Alphabet Effect, an influential book which argues that one reason for the rise of `Western' science is our alphabet. That the ability to think symbolically arose from our language, and drove technological advance. Logan looks not only at the origins of technological innovation, but also how literacy alters the way we think.

Part 2: George Steiner

George Steiner is one of the world's leading literary theorists. In this talk, Steiner addresses the fundamental questions of literacy: what does it mean to be `literate'? Does literacy always correlate to intelligence? And are we really moving into a post-literate age, or will we always cling to literacy?

All three talks were delivered to the Living Literacies conference at York University.

title: Show #65

overview:
In this exclusive presentation of Big Ideas, an international team of scholars looks at the persistent problem of anti-semitism. To what extent is the problem endemic? Does it still exist in Canada? And if so, what steps can be taken to deal with it?

This episode of Big Ideas was shot at the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies. Dozens of scholars from around the world gathered to discuss how prevalent anti-semitism is today, and how it has changed over time.

Steven Zipperstein is the Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History at Stanford University. He argues that antisemitism may in fact be an endemic problem with no sign of disappearing in the future. In this look at the historical origins of antisemitic thought, Zipperstein argues that while antisemitism has changed over the years, it hasn't disappeared. And with the emergence of the state of Israel, it's taken on an entirely new form.

Todd Endelman teaches at the University of Michigan, where he's the William Haber Professor of Modern Jewish History, and Director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. In his talk, Endelman argues that while antisemitism may have largely disappeared (or at least gone underground) in North America, for Jews in Europe, it's still very much a part of life. But Endelman suggests that for a variety of reasons, today's anti-semitism is very different from that of the past, appealing to an entirely different type of person for entirely different reasons.

Finally, Michael Marrus looks at the reality of anti-semitism today. Looking specifically at France as a test case, Marrus argues it's very difficult to measure whether more people are committing anti-semitic acts, or whether it's due to a small number of increasingly-dedicated anti-semites. Marrus also suggests antisemitism is at least partly an expression of traditional European xenophobia, and that Europe's attempts to deal with its more visible Muslim minority may force it to deal with Jews differently. Michael Marrus is Dean of the University of Toronto's School of Graduate Studies, holds the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Chair in Holocaust Studies and has advised the Vatican on the responsibility of the Catholic church for the Holocaust.

overview:
There could be lots of natural gas in parts of New Brunswick, but it's difficult to retrieve. It lies deep underground in the shale layers.

We went to Pennsylvania to see the effects of fracking on communities there.

title: Magnets

overview: ""Magnets"" is Bryant's first word, leading to a legend on the discovery of magnetism.  The Science Alliance finds four magnetic materials: iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt.  Rex demonstrates the electromagnet and shows how to test what materials let magnetism pass through.

title: Magnets

title: Electricity

title: Electricity

title: Matter

overview: What does Rex have in common with grape juice and the air in a tire?  They represent three states of matter.  Rex, along with grape juice and tires, get involved in two of the demonstrations in this program.  Bryant's Giants of Science salutes Archimedes for his way to easily determine the volume of objects.

title: Matter

title: Energy

overview: We can't see energy, but we can observe what energy does. Rex and Judy show that energy exists in anything that that lights up, heats up, moves, or grows.

title: Energy

title: Machines

title: Machines

title: Heat

overview: Bryant tells the story of Benjamin Thompson, who first discovered heat as energy.  Members of The Science Alliance help demonstrate that heat can make matter expand, and that heat travels by conduction, convection, and radiation.

title: Heat

title: Air

overview: With location footage taped at the Ontario Science Centre and CN Tower, Rex and Judy show what air is made of, what work air can do, and what pressure it can exert.

title: Landscape of Geometry

title: The Shape of Things

overview: Spooky animation leads viewers and David into the ""dark caves of the geometer.""  But geometry isn't that mysterious.  They are passionate for simplicity.  Under ideal conditions, geometers will frown at color, movement, sound, and all the other elements that make the real world too complicated.  David touches up on a geometric concept here and there, including congruent objects.  In the end, he reintroduces geometry as a puzzle.

title: The Shape of Things

title: It's Rude to Point

overview: David starts out as the captain of a ship trying to navigate through dense fog and a dense lad in the crow's nest.  It's at this point that David underscores the importance of direction.  He demonstrates the line segment (with his artm) and explains that certain claims about geometry can't be explained.  Assuming, like all geometers, that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, David begins to navigate the waters around him.  This segues into the concept of angels, and the need to be more accurate than just ""left"" and ""right.""

title: It's Rude to Point

title: Lines That Cross

overview: A medieval David talks about intersecting lines and the angles they form.  He visits an archaeological site to learn about triangulation and theodolites.

title: Lines That Cross

title: Lines That Don't Cross

overview: Starting out on a railroad track, David explores parallel lines.  He needs to straighten the railroad ties so he can ride them easily.  With a geometry book in hand, he reads: ""If a line and a point are drawn on a flat plane,...only one line can be drawn so that it never meets the other line.""  But he also needs to understand corresponding angles and parallelograms to get the two rails precisely the distance apart he wants.

title: Lines That Don't Cross

title: Up, Down and Sideways

overview: David talks about ""the geometry of not-falling.""  It is rooted in the right angle.  Fighting gravity depends on building things at right angles.  But how do you ensure a proper right angle?  David moves up in tools, from the spirit level to the theodolite.  Interwoven in this program is the Pythagorean Theorem and the first glimpse of what would become the Chunnel linking London to Paris â€” ""a straight line that starts by going down and ends by going up.""

title: Up, Down and Sideways

title: Trussworthy

overview: David goes to the mountains on a new expedition: trianguleering.   His mission is to find triangles in nature.  He partially succeeds by showing off an isosceles triangle â€” one with two equal sides.  But to those who want a bigger challenge in trianguleering, David suggests searching for certain angles.  He explains what the angle of repose is, and then illustrates how easy it is to copy triangles from place to place.

title: Trussworthy

title: Cracking Up

overview: The word ""tile"" comes from a Latin word meaning ""to cover.""  Why cover with tiles?  ""It's not the tiles that are important,"" David explains.  ""It's the cracks.""  The cracks and crevices in tiling can serve as waterproofing or drainage, or even weight-saving.  Still, people think in terms of tiles, so David examines complex patterns on snow tires and the Tangram puzzle.

title: Cracking Up

title: The Range of Change

overview: Life is change, and as David changes, he introduces transformational geometry.  It boils down to three patterns: translations (slides), rotations (turns), and reflections (flips).  David also explains the ""know-it-all"" approach to constructing shapes, aided immeasurably by the Cartesian plane.

title: The Range of Change

title: Season 1

overview: Landscape of Geometry was an educational television show that illustrated the principles and applications of geometry. The series was produced and broadcast by TVOntario in 1982–83 and was hosted by David Stringer.

This half-hour daytime program was produced and hosted from New York by naturalist and author Ivan T. Sanderson, and broadcast Monday through Friday. The second color television series, Modern Homemakers, began the following day, June 27, 1951.

It was last broadcast on September 14, 1951, only days before the first commercially manufactured CBS color television sets were made.
