IN THE HOT SEAT....

If you have been involved in the CfBT Regional Subject Conferences as a delegate (and if not, why not ?), you will presumably have received an e-mail telling you of the next stage of the project which are some HOT SEAT WEB CASTS.

You will need to go to the new QCA site, and log in.

In each of the subject area's you will have an opportunity to
  • Watch a video clip of the National subject lead on relevant topics,
  • Read the topical statement
  • Write your own questions and comments to the NSL in the forum

The national subject lead will be online at least once a day to respond to your questions and discussions through the forum pages, and you can log in as many times as you like to review answers and add further questions throughout the live dates.

The Geography event runs from June the 9th to June the 20th...
See you there !

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with

Geography and Isobars Image Copyright: BBC - visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather for the latest forecast ! An isobar is a line joining places which are experiencing equal atmospheric pressure. Last night was a very windy night down in Norfolk, and across most of the country - the synoptic chart above is for mid-day today, but yesterday's chart showed the classic pattern of a mid-latitude depression. The sycamore tree in my garden lost all the leaves it had been clinging on to, and bushes were tapping against the windows. On the way home from a fancy dress party, my Noddy Holder hat blew off and I ended up in someone's front garden chasing it round in a gyre... Of course the storms were nothing compared to the problems created by the weather in the Philippines. See this BBC NEWS article for more on the effects of Hurricane Durian. Interestingly, durian is one of the top search phrases on Google for leading people to GeographyPages - not sure why... Geography and Music (Cont..
