Test Match SpecialEngland’s 2010/11 Ashes win, according to Sir Alastair CookExactly 15 years on from Sir Alastair Cook’s 235 not-out at the Gabba, the BBC’s Chief Cricket Reporter Stephan Shemilt speaks to Cook about one of his best individual series for England, which saw England win the Ashes in Australia in 2010/11. They discuss Cook’s incredible batting throughout the series, including his 235 not-out at The Gabba, the moments he was speaking to Chris Tremlett before the bowler infamously got Mitchell Johnson for a duck, and his time out in the middle with Sir Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott.

Classic SF with Andy Johnson#117: Man and machine: “A Meeting with Medusa” (1971) and The Medusa Chronicles (2016) Originally published in the December 1971 issue of Playboy, “A Meeting With Medusa” is generally thought of as Clarke’s last significant shorter work. Notably, it won the Nebula Award for Best Novella the following year. It was also an early inspiration for two of Clarke’s successors in the British SF scene. 45 years after the novella’s publication, Stephen Baxter and Alastair Reynolds delivered their novel-length sequel, The Medusa Chronicles.Taken together, these two works form an exciting exploration of the possibility of life on Jupiter, the effects of transhumanism, and the relationship between humans and machines.

Besonders die vielen Lockdowns haben den Menschen zugesetzt, denn anders als ihn Deutschland war es monatelang verboten, andere Haushalte zu treffen. In genau dieser Zeit hat es aber mehrere Partys im Wohnsitz des Premierministers gegeben, bei manchen war er...
