so that all motion only had meaning if it were the motion of bodies relative to other bodies.
Newtonian mechanics in a Universe with no total angular momentum can be recast in a form that
agrees with Mach's precepts. Many of Mach's predictions are found within General Relativity
although space is curved and matter is not the sole source of curvature. Mach's concepts can
only be true in Relativity if space-time itself arises out of energy."

So far, he's planted over 20 different kinds of garlic and 30 varieties of potatoes as well as a full range of other vegetables--everything from arugula to hot peppers to zucchini... He got his start in farming with Farm Start, a non-profit organization that mentors new farmers and provides access to land and equipment for a nominal fee. Bob is now in his third year at Farm Start's McVean farm in Brampton. He's worked his way up from a quarter acre plot in his first year, to four acres this summer. After his 5th year, he hopes to be able to buy his own farm. He credits markets like Withrow for making it possible for new farmers like himself to succeed." Quote: "Laurel Fortin's Small Potatoes focuses on leafy greens, potatoes, herbs and flowers... She's now in her second year of farming at Farm Start's McVean Farm in Brampton. This year, she's farming a one acre plot to see if she can make a go of it. Of Farm Start she says, 'It's been a great program - really supportive. I've met wonderful people. That's why I'm still here.' One of Laurel's biggest challenges is the workload She's a one woman operation and says that volunteers would be much appreciated. In return for helping, volunteers will get all the produce they can eat. You can contact Laurel at the market or at forlaurel(at)gmail(dot)com."

Public Planetarium Tour. Usually Thursdays.
Quote: "The planetarium is a relatively recent addition to the Astronomy Public Tours, having only
arrived in the department in late August of 2010. Located in the basement of the Astronomy & Astrophysics
building at 50 St. George street, the planetarium dome is a GeoDome Theatre, and the software used is
Uniview, which was designed to display the Digital Universe catalog from NASA and the Hayden planetarium.
During our public nights, the planetarium shows take place in parallel with the telescope tours. We offer 4
shows per evening, at 15 minute intervals. Due to the limited size of the dome and time constraints, chances
are that not all tour attendees will be able to see a planetarium show during the tour."

Free MP3 media files.
Quote: "You might think that, if anybody owns your genes, it’s you, but if you know anything
about your genes it will be because of professional gene testing. And in cases of genetically
transmitted disorder, should genetic counsellors breach patient confidentiality to disclose the
results of genetic tests to relatives who are likely to be affected by the same disorder?
Is genetic information personal information, which belongs to the patient being tested, or does
it belong to all the patient’s genetic relations?"
Guest: Associate Professor Justin Oakely, Deputy Director, Centre for Human Bioethics, Monash University.
Quote: "The Philosopher's Zone, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is
your guide through the strange thickets of logic, metaphysics and ethics."

June 5, Tuesday, 5:30pm. Free ($5 for planetarium shows). Public Astronomy Talks and Demos -
- The Transit of Venus at Varsity Stadium.
Quote: "Approximately once a century, we on Earth are treated to the sight of the planet
Venus crossing the disk of the Sun. This event, called a 'transit' of Venus, has inspired
scientists and astronomy enthusiasts alike for hundreds of years.
It last occured in 2004, and will next occur on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012.
After June 5th, a Venus transit will not be visible from Earth again until 2117,
and so for the vast majority of us this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.
To celebrate, the Astronomy Department, in partnership with the U of T Department
of Alumni Relations, will be hosting a transit watching event at Varsity Stadium,
which boasts one of the best sight lines on the St. George Campus.
Come join us for a free pair of transit glasses and an opportunity to watch the transit
through solar-filter telescopes. You'll be able to mingle with astronomers happy to answer
your questions about the transit and its history and significance, or about astronomy in
general. You'll also have the opportunity to attend planetarium shows [$5], a public talk on the
significance of transits in astronomy today, and an act of the play 'The Transit of Venus',
about 18th-century astronomer Guillaume Le Gentil's obsession with watching the transit.
This will be the biggest Astro Department event of the entire year...
The event itself is walk-in, and we encourage people on their evening commute along Bloor
Street to drop in and join us. If you pre-register for the event, however, and bring your
registration ticket with you, you'll be entered into a draw for exciting door prizes!
Certain parts of the event, including the talk, require registration due to seating limitations,
and others both registration and an admission fee to help recoup our operating costs.
For registration information, please see our website."
