'The London Air Ambulance'
by Ali Wade, a volunteer ambassador for the London Air Ambulance
Volunteer Ambassador Ali Wade will talk about London's Air Ambulance, the charity which brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. By performing innovative and potentially life-saving procedures which would usually only be found in the emergency department, the service aims to give the most critically injured patients in London the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma. The London Air Ambulance attends 5 seriously injured patients a day on average using its distinctive red helicopter. The talk is free to attend but the London Air Ambulance, which is run entirely as a charity, will welcome voluntary donations. To make a donation, please click *here*

19/11/2020 Talk entitled
'Temperamental Music'
by John Belling, REMS committee member and former REMS Secretary
Today, most Western music is played in a tuning (temperament) known as ‘Equal Temperament’, where the ratio between the frequency of any note and the semitone immediately above is 12.sq_rt(2), which implies that the character of all scales is essentially the same. This was not the case in previous times: there were many different tunings devised where certain intervals are made ‘pure’, to conform to an ideal Pythagorean scale. This was the equivalent of trying to square the circle, and all such temperaments had compromises, which resulted in music played in certain keys would sound painfully out-of-tune, while others could sound strangely beautiful. This talk will firstly present the Pythagorean scale, and show how other temperaments are derived from this. There will be some interesting oddities along the way – for example, how a 53 note per octave scale results from some simple maths – and an instrument with 53 notes per octave was actually built!

A recording of this talk may be viewed by clicking *here*. You may need to enter a passcode, which is 7#R0Ai.s . The recording lasts 2:02 hours.
07/01/2021 Talk entitled
'Robert Hooke – a Man of Mystery'
by Mike Quinton, REMS Chairman
Robert Hooke (1635 - 1703) was a polymath – a laboratory assistant, scientist, inventor, Curator of Experiments at the Royal Society, surveyor, arbitrator in land disputes and architect - and yet a man of mystery, because there is no existing portrait of him painted during his very full lifetime.

A recording of this talk may be viewed by clicking *here*. The recording lasts 1:20 hours.
