I am working with the Natural History Museum/science learning centre alonside two other writers.The session with Dr Katherine Hann was very good and yet quite emotive. One of the key messages is that in the teaching of the slave trade it needs to be treated as a matter that is not yet closed. On reflection two hundred years ago is not a long time in the history of a family and so fo r some people who are descendants of slaves it is still an open wound.

Instructions for doing this on macbook

Part 1: Pairing phone and macbook (if you have not done so)1 click on apple symbol top left of screen
2 click on blue tooth from list of hardware (you should have a panel labelled ‘blue t)ooth
3 click on ’set up new device’ (your phone should have blue tooth on and that it is discoverable)
4 select the relevant device. In this case ‘Mobile phone’.The macbook will search for your phone.
5 Your phone will respond by showing a message ‘pair with macbook?’.
6 macbook will display a set of numbers (passkey). If you accepted the ‘pair with macbook’ then you should enter the passkey into your phone.
THIS COMPLETES the PAIRING OF YOUR PHONE AND MACBOOK.

Part 2: synchronising address books
1 Click on bluetooth in system preferences
2 Highlight your phone on the list of devices
3 your phone should show message from macbook. acceptthis to continue process
4 you should have a panel on the macbook ‘Blue tooth phone set up’. tick all boxes and click continue
5 A separate panel ‘iSync’ should appear.
6 click on phone (your phone type) icon
7 Click on syn icon
8 accept message on your phone
The phone and macbook should synchronize

This is how I did it.

Thanks to blue tooth I have been able to rescue the 300+ contact details on my mobile phone.The macbook has blue tooth and with some perseverance I was able to find out the method of syncronising my phone’s contact book with the macbook.This is believe me a major load of my mind as I sometime worry about losing all the contact details through loss of phone or SIM card corruption.

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer but I have rounded up some of the ‘laws’ that seem to govern the universe.Here are some of the laws:

Zymergy’s first law of of evolving system dynamics
Once you open a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is to get a larger can.

Etorre’s observation
The other queue moves faster

The law of selective gravity
An object will fall so as to cause the most damage

Boren’s law
when in doubt, mumble

Hoare’s law of large problems
Inside of every large problem is a small problem trying to get out
