Your age is beginning to show too Jim :) The old codger ----- Original Message -----=20 From: James W. Wolford=20 To: NatureNS=20 Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 3:58 PM Subject: [NatureNS] TONIGHT, CBC-TV, 8 pm - NATURE OF THINGS Subject: TONIGHT, CBC-TV, 8 pm - NATURE OF THINGS Note TV listings for 8 pm TONIGHT ON CBC-TV -- Thursday is the = normal night for The Nature of Things (2 different episodes, at 8 pm. on = regular CBC and 11 pm on CBC-Newsworld, unless pre-empted as happened = last week) -- The Herald listings for 8 pm say it's on "The Evolutionary = Past of Humans". I heard a CBC-Radio interview earlier in the week with = a scientist involved in this, and he contends that the very best = marathon runners in the world are humans, which literally ran down large = game animals in Africa and "fried them in their own skins" during the = chase. Human nakedness is a huge advantage over fur-covered prey and = competing predators in hot climates by allowing chasing, running humans = to cool themselves, whereas their prey animals die from overheating. I = wish I could remember more details from the interview, but it was = compelling. He did recommend that anyone who wants to try running = barefoot to start very carefully and slowly!! Then at 11 pm on Newsworld Channel, the subject is not listed, but I = hope it will be whatever was pre-empted last week. I recall that the = episode two weeks ago announced something about lots of different = animals for the next episode to come. We'll see. By the way, I am not ashamed to say that I still use videotapes and = a VCR to tape a lot of shows, and that I don't know how to used our = TV/VCR combo to "tape" shows in modern ways!! Cheers from low-tech Jim in Wolfville, who watches way too much junk = TV!! ------=_NextPart_000_0020_01CD02D3.331A77A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.19190"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY=20 style=3D"WORD-WRAP: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space"=20 bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px"><BR></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px">By the way, I am not ashamed to say that I = still use=20 videotapes and a VCR to tape a lot of shows, and that I don't know how = to <FONT=20 color=3D#ff0000>used </FONT>our TV/VCR combo to "tape" shows in modern=20 ways!!</DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px"> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px"><FONT face=3DArial>Your age is beginning to = show too=20 Jim :)</FONT></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px"><FONT face=3DArial>The old = codger</FONT></DIV></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE=20 style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; = PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV=20 style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial; BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: = black"><B>From:</B>=20 <A title=3Djimwolford@eastlink.ca = href=3D"mailto:jimwolford@eastlink.ca">James W.=20 Wolford</A> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A = title=3Dnaturens@chebucto.ns.ca=20 href=3D"mailto:naturens@chebucto.ns.ca">NatureNS</A> </DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, March 15, 2012 = 3:58=20 PM</DIV> <DIV style=3D"FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [NatureNS] TONIGHT, = CBC-TV, 8 pm=20 - NATURE OF THINGS</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE type=3D"cite"> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style=3D"FONT: 12px Helvetica; = COLOR: #000000"=20 color=3D#000000 size=3D3 face=3DHelvetica><B>Subject: = </B></FONT><FONT=20 style=3D"FONT: 12px Helvetica" size=3D3 face=3DHelvetica><B>TONIGHT, = CBC-TV, 8 pm=20 - NATURE OF THINGS</B></FONT></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px"><BR></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px">Note TV listings for 8 pm TONIGHT ON = CBC-TV --=20 Thursday is the normal night for The Nature of Things (2 different = episodes,=20 at 8 pm. on regular CBC and 11 pm on CBC-Newsworld, unless = pre-empted as=20 happened last week) -- The Herald listings for 8 pm say it's on "The = Evolutionary Past of Humans".<SPAN = class=3DApple-converted-space> =20 </SPAN>I heard a CBC-Radio interview earlier in the week with a = scientist=20 involved in this, and he contends that the very best marathon = runners in the=20 world are humans, which literally ran down large game animals in = Africa and=20 "fried them in their own skins" during the chase.<SPAN=20 class=3DApple-converted-space> </SPAN>Human nakedness is a = huge=20 advantage over fur-covered prey and competing predators in hot = climates by=20 allowing chasing, running humans to cool themselves, whereas their = prey=20 animals die from overheating.<SPAN = class=3DApple-converted-space> =20 </SPAN>I wish I could remember more details from the interview, but = it was=20 compelling.<SPAN class=3DApple-converted-space> </SPAN>He did = recommend=20 that anyone who wants to try running barefoot to start very = carefully and=20 slowly!!</DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px"><BR></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px">Then at 11 pm on Newsworld Channel, the = subject is=20 not listed, but I hope it will be whatever was pre-empted last = week.<SPAN=20 class=3DApple-converted-space> </SPAN>I recall that the = episode two=20 weeks ago announced something about lots of different animals for = the next=20 episode to come.<SPAN class=3DApple-converted-space> = </SPAN>We'll=20 see.</DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px"><BR></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px">By the way, I am not ashamed to say that = I still=20 use videotapes and a VCR to tape a lot of shows, and that I don't = know how=20 to used our TV/VCR combo to "tape" shows in modern ways!!</DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 14px"><BR></DIV> <DIV style=3D"MARGIN: 0px">Cheers from low-tech Jim in Wolfville, = who watches=20 way too much junk = TV!!</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_000_0020_01CD02D3.331A77A0--
