Bradford City Hall is a Grade I listed, 19th-century town hall in Centenary Square, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It is notable for its landmark bell/clock tower.
As town hall[edit]
The building was designed by Lockwood and Mawson, and opened in 1873.[1]
Winston Churchill gave his first speech after the Second Battle of El Alamein outside the hall in which he called for the people to 'go forward together and put these grave matters to the proof'.
Before its relocation, between 1847 and 1872, the town hall had been the Fire Station House in Swain Street. In 1869, a new triangular site was purchased, and a competition held for a design to rival the town halls of Leeds and Halifax.[2] The local firm of Lockwood and Mawson was chosen over the other 31 entries. It was built by John Ives & Son of Shipley and took three years to build at a cost of £100,000.[1] It was opened on 9 September 1873, on a very wet day[3] by Matthew Thompson, the mayor.
It was first extended in 1909 to a design by Norman Shaw and executed by architect F.E.P. Edwards,[2] with another council chamber, more committee rooms and a banqueting hall. It was extended again in 1914 with a new entrance and staircase in baroque marble by William Williamson[1] and listed grade I on 14 June 1963.[2]
As city hall[edit]
In 1965 the name was changed to City Hall to reflect Bradford's prominence, and the building was improved at a cost of £12,000. In 1992 the bells stopped due to decay of the bell frame; in 1997 the bells were repaired with National Lottery funds.[1]
Conservation of resources[edit]
In December 2007 the City Hall went green by turning the city's nine Christmas trees into woodchips as fuel for new heating boilers to be installed in early 2008.[4] An access tunnel was dug from the roadway to install the boilers: there is a Powerpoint description of the process, with images of the old and new boilers, here.
In public context[edit]
The two flagpoles carry the flag of Wales on Saint David's Day and the flag of Australia on Australia Day. Flag use in response to major world disasters is made according to Government guidelines.[1] The flags also reflect royal events, such as coronations and weddings.[1]
The building is set in Centenary Square, which was developed and pedestrianised in 1997, the city's centenary. Staff give tours of the building on request.[1] Annually in September the City Hall holds a heritage weekend, when visitors can see more of the building.[5] During two special open days per year, 1,200 children are invited to meet the mayor, learn about the building and the council, do re-enactments and gain civic pride.[6] In 2000, Barbara Jane Harrison was commemorated in a memorial display in the City Hall.[7] In October 2006 the building was illuminated for Bradford Festival by artist Patrice Warrener.[8] In 2007 the City Hall filled in for Manchester Crown Court for the duration of the trial of Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street.
The bells have played "The Star-Spangled Banner" to mark the three minutes' silence for those who died due to terrorism. When an eminent Bradfordian dies, the City Hall flags fly at half mast until the funeral is over, while the minute bell rings for an hour after receipt of notice, and for an hour at the time of the funeral. At the memorial in 2005 of the 1985 Bradford City stadium fire, "Dozens of people broke down in tears as the City Hall bells played You'll Never Walk Alone and Abide with Me in tribute to the victims."Telegraph, 11 May 2005.[9] However the bells normally play happier tunes, and in 2001 there was talk of replacing the old computer application which controlled the bells, so that they could play pop music.[10] The bells can now be programmed to play any tune, subject to musical arrangement and technical limitations. The bells have played No Matter What[11] several times in 2001, when Whistle Down the Wind was playing at the Alhambra; the operator of the bells was able to see the theatre steps from the bell tower, and timed the peals with the audience's exit. This meant that the superintendent had to undertake the long climb up the tower at 10.30 pm every day for a week, as the bell system was still under repair. In 2010, the bells played the theme tune from Coronation Street when the cast was filming in the area.[12]
It was designed in the Venetian style. The bell tower was inspired by Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The top of the tower is 220 feet (67 m) high.
It contains 13 bells, installed in 1872, which weighed 13 tons 3 quarters and 6lbs and cost £1,765. They first rang at the opening in 1873. Currently (2016) they ring every 15 minutes and play tunes at midday and late afternoon plus carols in December.[1] All the original bells are still in use but the carillon mechanism has been updated several times
The clock, installed in 1872 at a cost of £2,248 5s was in operation until 1947. In that year it was replaced by a more modern mechanism.[13]
There are 35 statues of past monarchs in chronological order on the façade, with Queen Victoria and Elizabeth I on either side of the main entrance.
The London firm Farmer & Brindley carved them from Cliffe Wood stone, from the local quarry on Bolton Road, at a cost of £63 each.[1] On the side facing Centenary Square, the line of monarchs includes Oliver Cromwell.[14] There is a flush bracket on the building with a code number once used to log the height above sea level.[15] A full architectural description is here.
In the banqueting hall is a 19th-century overmantel and frieze carved by C.R. Millar. The frieze carries the Bradford city motto: Labor omnia vincit (Hard work conquers all), reflecting the ethos of an industrial city, and the work ethic of the Evangelical movement represented by many local chapels. The figures on the frieze represent the wool trade between Bradford and the world, besides architecture and the arts.[14]

The Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions
Snakebite is a Neglected Tropical Disease that annually kills over 95,000 people residing in some of the world's most disadvantaged subsistence farming communities, and leaves 2-300,000 surviving victims with permanent physical disabilities/disfigurements. It is the rural impoverished African and Asian communities, and particularly the most economically-important and educationally-vulnerable 10-30 year olds, that suffer disproportionally high rates of snakebite mortality and morbidity. Snakebite is therefore both a consequence and cause of tropical poverty.
Throughout the 50 year history of the Centre, its objective has been to conduct a diverse portfolio of research activity to better understand the biology of snake venoms, and use this information to improve the efficacy, safety and affordability of antivenom treatment of tropical snakebite victims. The Centre and its staff, led by Professor Rob Harrison, is part of the LSTM Department of Tropical Disease Biology and its herpetarium hosts the largest and most diverse collection of tropical venomous snakes in UK to support its research activities.
The combination of the Centre's venomous snakes with its extensive research activity is one of the main messages of our UK-unique 'Key Topics in Snakebite' MSc module, and a potent illustration of how UK research benefits human health in the tropics – a message we enthusiastically deliver to fulfil our frequent media requests, and that is central to our many other public engagement activities.
Snakebite: Nature's Ancient Killer
BBC World News. Sat 21 Sep 2019
The BBC's Global Health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar reports on the work of the Snakebite Research and Intervention Centre in collaboration with CSRI.
Our research often employs multi-disciplinary approaches, and consequently the Centre has expertise in fields such as immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and evolutionary biology, and has many valuable collaborators. Our research is funded by a variety of national and international funding agencies, and the outputs of these projects such as EchiTAb have resulted in substantial societal impact, through the delivery of antivenom to impoverished people, and scientific impact, through a number of notable publications in the scientific literature.
Basic biological research
The Centre has a strong record of undertaking basic biological research relating to the venom system of snakes and, on occasion, other venomous animals. These studies reflect our interest in understanding (i) the processes that generate variation in the toxin components found in the venom of different snakes, (ii) how snakes protect themselves from the toxicity of their own venom and (iii) how the snake venom system has evolved. This research has been published extensively in the scientific literature.
A Brief History of the Centre for Snakebite Research Interventions
Established in 1963 and previously named the Alistair Reid Venom Research Unit, the scientific objectives have remained consistent; research to improve the treatment of snakebite and outreach to improve the availability of antivenom treatment for tropical snakebite victims. Find out more
The Herpetarium
The Herpetarium is a UK Home Office accredited and inspected experimental animal facility and is a critical resource for all the activities of the Centre. Our lead herpetologist, Paul Rowley, and his assistant Edouard Crittenden provide specialist care for what is the largest and most diverse collection of venomous snakes in the UK. There is a special emphasis on the African continent with the majority of our snakes being haemotoxic vipers such as Saw-scaled vipers (Echis spp.), Puff adders (Bitis arietans), Gaboon vipers (Bitis gabonica) and neurotoxic elapids such as the Black and Green mambas (Dendroaspis spp.) and several spitting and non-spitting cobras (Naja spp.). Paul Rowley, with the assistance of Rob Harrison and Edouard Crittenden, extracts venom from our snakes at regular intervals and this venom is immediately frozen and subsequently lyophilised and then stored at 4oC. The venom is used for antivenom production, and for our therapeutic and basic science research.
CSRI has worked assiduously to increase awareness of the neglect of tropical snakebite victims. Part of this includes providing talks about our research work and tours of the Herpetarium (3,000 visitors in the past 4 years) to visitors from the Armed Forces, the public, school and college pupils, and undergraduate & post-graduate University students .
Minutes to Die
To understand the impact snakebite has on rural poor communities, please view this short film extracted from a documentary that Lillian Lincoln Foundation produced with the help of the LSTM Centre for Snakebite Research & interventions.
The Snakebite Emergency Response System (SERS)
LSTM Centre for Snakebite Research & interventions is currently fundraising to develop and test a SERS programme in Kitui County, Kenya that could ultimately reduce snakebite-related death and disability in rural regions of Africa and Asia.
SERS is a smartphone-app that provides support to community health volunteers through providing them with Android phones, equipped with the SERS-app, enabling them to identify snakes, the severity of the symptoms, administer first aid and, if needed, deploy specially-designed motorcycle ambulances to rapidly and safely transport victims to well-equipped health care facilities.
News and events from CSRI
The African Snakebite Research Group (ASRG)
ASRG is a three-year £2 million collaboration programme funded by the National Institute for Health Research under the first Global Health Research Programme call launched in 2016.
The ASRG is hosted by LSTM and, working in collaboration with partner organisations in Kenya and Nigeria, will establish self-sustaining regional hubs of snakebite expertise in Kenya and Nigeria, to support national and regional authorities design and implement systems to reduce snakebite deaths and disability.
This project is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Global Health Research (NIHR Global Health Research Group on African Snakebite Research - grant reference number 16/137/114). The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care
EchiTAb Study Group
LSTM collaboration to resolve the antivenom crisis in Nigeria
In response to a 2003 request from the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health, the Alistair Reid Venom Research Unit and University of Oxford formed the EchiTAb Study Group – a collaboration of clinicians, scientists, and antivenom manufacturers. With Nigerian Government funding, the EchiTAb Study Group imported the most medically-important Nigerian snakes into Liverpool, extracted their venom and provided it to antivenom manufacturers in UK (MicroPharm Ltd) and Costa Rica (Instituto Clodomiro Picado) who developed (i) a monospecific antivenom to the saw-scaled viper and (ii) a polyspecific antivenom to treat envenoming by all three species shown.
We next conducted human clinical trials, which demonstrated the efficacy and safety of these antivenoms. The two antivenoms developed by the EchiTAb Study Group are more effective, affordable (less than $75/treatment) and safer than any other antivenom developed for sub-Saharan Africa. We also purchased ambulances to quickly transport snakebite victims to newly constructed hospital wards dedicated to snakebite clinical management.
Through these combined efforts, the EchiTAb Study Group has delivered over 37,000 vials of antivenom (18,500 treatments) to help save the lives, and livelihoods, of many thousands of Nigeria's disadvantaged snakebite victims.

That was until lately. The powerful brand has embarked upon a series of commercials that explore the precipitous minefield of women and self image. The latest features a former forensic artist for a police department sketching a series of women hidden from view behind a curtain. Since the artist cannot see them, he must rely on their descriptions of hair length, facial structure, shape of the nose and other prominent features. The artist then asks women to describe the face of one another. The result, well, check out this Youtube version yourself. The commercial has garnered 19 million views on Youtube and been dissected on morning news shows and social media venues. Its point underscores what many studies have found: women are their own worse critics. They tend to see their height, weight and other attributes in a negative light when contrasted with how others see them. The public is talking about an important topic, women and self-esteem, and Dove is right in the mix. A soapbox pushed along with the soap, says this New York Times article. Maybe, but as any brand manager will confirm, Dove's latest commercials are advertising/branding/social media at its best. Comments | Topics: beauty, commercial, social media

A Democratic governor, tired of complaints from municipalities about cuts in state aids, says the whole municipal aid formula should be scrapped and vows to come up with a new one by the end of the year. While he's at it, he says he'll tackle the state's school aid formula and figure out a better way of compensating its urban hospitals for indigent care.
Governor Jim Doyle, perhaps? No, but perhaps it could be and should be. The governor in question is Jon Corzine of New Jersey, who says in a recent New York Times [1]article that while the existing formulas "may have very well served the state at one point," they "don't relate to the realities of the world today."
Many would argue that our state's shared revenue and school aid formulas similarly are far removed from today's realities. Just ask Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who noted in a recent Journal Sentinel candidate questionnaire [2]that "erosion" in the city's shared revenue payments has left its 2008 payment "23% lower in inflation-adjusted terms than its 1996 payment". Or Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, who noted in his questionnaire [3] that he would gladly forsake a portion of the County's shared revenue in return for moving "the cost of courts entirely to the state".
The state's school aid formula, meanwhile, has been a source of controversy for years, particularly in terms of how it affects Milwaukee and accounts for the city's voucher program. And the issue of compensating hospitals for indigent care recently has moved to the forefront in light of the Governor's proposed hospital assessment.
Eight years ago, Governor Tommy Thompson vowed to do something about these issues by appointing the "Blue-Ribbon Commission on State-Local Partnerships for the 21st Century", otherwise known as the "Kettl Commission" (after its chairman, Donald F. Kettl). The Commission's report [4], released in January 2001, contained numerous recommendations, the most prominent of which was to establish and define a "Badger Basics" package of education, human needs and justice services that the State would commit to fully funding.
Unfortunately, as many anticipated, the Kettl Commission recommendations have largely remained just that. Having staffed a member of the Commission, I believe this was due in large part to its composition and agenda, both of which were far too big. Perhaps today we need a more focused effort that would concentrate first on the issues of human services and justice funding.
Why those two? For one thing, voters across the state have voted overwhelmingly [5]in referenda to have these mandated areas fully funded by the state. And for another, several recent developments create a crying need to review not only the funding, but also the existing roles and responsibilities of all levels of government in administering and providing services in those two areas.
In human services, the state's takeover of child welfare and privatization of W-2 in Milwaukee County, its move toward privatization and/or regionalization of family care throughout the state, and the creation of its new Department of Children and Families [6], make the time ripe for reconsideration of who does and pays for what. And with regard to justice services, recent movement toward community corrections and alternatives to incarceration across the state and nation, combined with increased understanding of the need to better link these initiatives and human services, makes this an ideal time to consider better coordination, as well as more logical funding mechanisms.
While I've never had much faith in blue ribbon commissions, we need to do something to bring better logic and accountability to these two state-mandated functions. Could a smaller Kettl Commission with a more narrow focus turn out something actionable this time around?

In a scene that brought with it echoes of the Los Angeles Police Department's most infamous moment, residents filmed four officers holding down and punching a young man picked up outside his home for allegedly skateboarding on the wrong side of the street.
According to KTLA-TV, a protest is being planned for Monday in support of 19-year-old Ronald Weekley Jr. after the beating was captured on a cell phone Saturday.
"If you see the videotape, there are about three or four officers on top of my son," Weekley's father, Ronald Weekley Sr., said. "Then an officer comes into view, gets down on the ground and hits him in his face, and that's something you can hear on the tape. The results are, is that he has a broken nose, he has a broken cheekbone and he has a concussion."
Weekley was cited with resisting arrest.
The footage aired by KTLA shows two officers holding the younger Weekley down and another punching him in the face. A fourth officer standing atop the fray can be seen speaking into his radio. Another officer enters the frame seemingly ordering the unidentified resident filming the incident to move away. It is reminiscent of the seminal video of the traffic stop that propelled Rodney King into the national consciousness.
"I was like screaming because I thought they were going to kill him," one witness said of the police's treatment of Weekley. KTLA's report, posted on Monday, can be seen below:

My initial impressions of the Madden NFL series were not what one would classify as positive. Having been an avid NBA 2K player, I found myself supplementing that with the yearly NFL 2K releases. Unsurprisingly, the deal that EA struck with the NFL and its players in 2004 angered me as it ensured that Madden NFL would be the only official NFL licensed video game on the market. Although boycotting was a real possibility, that approach felt akin to cutting off my nose to spite my face. Despite my disdain for another EA Sports franchise (NBA Live), I decided to give Madden NFL a shot. I've been picking up every iteration since.
That streak ends with Madden NFL 16.
One of the main knocks against Madden NFL in general is the perceived notion that consumers are essentially paying full retail for a title that offers little more over its most recent predecessor than a roster update. By and large, this is an unfair assessment. With a game this massive and robust, many changes to the core gameplay may seem like minor tweaks on the surface. In reality, these adjustments can have a major impact on the experience year over year. The new catching mechanics are a great example of this. At first, they delighted me because one of my greatest frustrations last season was the inability for receivers to perform any semblance of a jump in attempting to complete receptions when tightly covered. But as I continued to play, it became apparent that this feature introduced an inherent flaw. EA typically does a solid job of ensuring that these additions represent an improvement both in terms of user interaction and in the detail to which they emulate the on-field counterpart. Unfortunately, this is one of those rare cases where they come up short.
I find it fitting that Odell Beckham Jr. was chosen for the cover of NFL Madden 16. New York Giants fans and former fantasy owners of "OBJ" will certainly remember his unbelievable, one-handed touchdown reception against the Dallas Cowboys last season. It was undoubtedly the greatest catch of 2014 and arguably the greatest of all time. In Madden NFL 16, however, catches like this are simply too commonplace. Don't get me wrong: there are some very talented receivers in the NFL and, within the 14 to 16 games played weekly, there's a decent probability that one of them will do something spectacular each week. But this is a feature that players should have more of a 5% chance of pulling off than a 50% or even 15% chance. Nevertheless, EA has made this more of a theme or trend on par with the Wildcat formation than a genuine enhancement.
Fortunately, there is a precedent for this kind of thing that gives me hope that it will change for the better going forward. For the 2006 season, Madden NFL introduced a passing cone (dubbed "QB Vision Control") to simulate the quarterback's field of vision. If the intended receiver is not within the cone when the pass is thrown, the accuracy of the pass is greatly diminished and is more liable to be intercepted or at the very least be way off target. Unlike this year's receiving mechanics, this feature actually did improve the game's realism. On the flip side, though, it was widely acknowledged, first by fans and later developers, to be a user interaction nightmare. As a result, it was eliminated entirely in the 2009 season and hasn't been implemented again.
Through the various modifications they've made to the passing controls since then, EA has consistently proven that they can effectively reinvent the wheel. With regards to the passing game in particular, the experience has definitely come a long way. Keeping this in mind, I'm not advocating for a complete removal of the new catching system. Even something as small as adjusting the likelihood of successfully completing a ridiculous catch could make all the difference between game changer and gimmick.
As far as this one's concerned, it's probably too late to revise the existing engine to a great extent. Perhaps EA will call an audible or add a new wrinkle next season that normalizes the gameplay a bit. Either way, I'm certain that new features will continue to progress and build upon the generally solid foundation that has been established over multiple decades.
In a sense, I guess Madden NFL can be considered a franchise with a roster full of features and each year is indeed an update of that roster. I'll be waiting to see what next year's "roster update" brings to the table.

When it comes to selecting an HVAC heat pump varmepumpe system, there are many decisions to be made. While you can often trust the guidance of a trained professional, it is good to have a basic knowledge of your own so that you're comfortable in knowing you are not buying too much. This article contains some HVAC heat pumps varmepumper basics that will help you to be an educated buyer.
Before calling anyone to repair your system, know what system you have. Know the brand name and model number. It is also helpful to have the maintenance history. This will help make sure that the contractor you hire has all the necessary information.
Make a circuit around your home before calling for help with your HVAC air to water heat pump luft til vann varmepumpe. Make a list of the rooms which are comfortable and which just aren't. This gives the repairer a starting point to work from.
An HVAC system is a really expensive investment. This is why you should do some browsing before purchasing your system. Try to find a good sale so you can get your system at a discount. Check out a couple of sites before making a decision. A great site to begin is general.no.
Look to your neighbors and family to get recommendations of good HVAC heat pump varmepumpe specialists. Likely there's someone you know who's already done a ton of research. Use this knowledge to help get you the best specialist you can. This can save you many hours of research time and money too.
Leaves and debris can damage your system. Clean outdoor units often to remove leaves. A blocked unit can quickly become a broken unit.
Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out if your HVAC heat pumps varmepumper system needs to be fixed or needs to be replaced. If your system frequently breaks down, is always turning on or off on its own, or if your bills are too high, it may pay to have it replaced. Otherwise, little things can just be fixed.
If you currently have a manual thermostat, consider installing a programmable one. You can set your system for different temperatures depending on time of day and if anyone is home. Also, you can set upper and lower temperature settings to allow for a comfortable range of temperatures so that heating and cooling don't kick in when not needed.
It is always a good idea to swap out single pane windows for double pane ones. Double pane windows can help minimize how much you use your heat pump air conditioning varmepumpe som aircondition system during summer, because they keep cool air inside the home. This same effect also keeps warm air in during the winter months.
If you want your energy costs to go down, have the heating an cooling system you own serviced every year at least. When they come out for a service visit, expect inspections of freon levels and the motor, and they will oil all the moving parts. This will keep you energy efficient and comfortable.
Purchasing an HVAC is typically confusing, but you are now armed with the information you need. Use it when discussing your choices with a professional to make the buying process easier and the end result one you are happy with. This will help to make your home a comfortable one all year round.

13 July 2015 at 3.07pm | Comment on this article
'A good assistant is different to a good director as the roles demand very different skill sets', says Jette Parker Young Artist Greg Eldridge. 'One of the great joys of directing is the freedom it gives you to respond immediately to what the performers offer, and collaborate with them on the interpretation of the text and music.'
Greg joined the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme as Stage Director in the 2013/14 Season. He has since worked on 11 main stage productions as Assistant Director, directed two JPYA performances (La scala di seta; Così fan tutte Act 1 and La favorite Act 1), and worked on various productions with the ROH Learning & Participation department. He will next direct Betrothal and Betrayal, the annual JPYA Summer Performance in which the Jette Parker Young Artists perform a series of scenes on the main stage.
'Over the past two years the other Jette Parker Young Artists and I have built up a rapport, so it's fabulous to have the freedom to create with them. They are a very talented group, with a great breadth of experience', he says. 'We also have an amazing theatre to perform in, and my aim is to make the most of every element of it. We use a pre-existing set from one of the productions currently on stage, which will give us a chance to show our craft in one of the most versatile sets in the ROH repertory.'

The performance will feature excerpts from Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles and other works, accompanied by the Welsh National Opera Orchestra.
'The Summer Performance can be trickier than doing a full show. With a full production, there is an opportunity to create character arcs and nuance over an evening, whereas the Summer Performance is a series of snapshots', explains Greg. 'Thankfully, we have some good meaty excerpts. Each scene offers a glimpse into the life of different people in different worlds, but the performance will be held together by the timeless themes of love and betrayal.'
Most recently, Greg has assisted with the revival of Kasper Holten's production of Don Giovanni, which he also worked on during its creation last year. As Assistant Director, his job includes managing the schedule, taking detailed rehearsal notes, running cover calls and carrying out show duties after the production opens.
'The responsibilities vary depending on the show, but in essence, our job is to ensure that the director's vision of the work is what is presented on stage', he explains. 'Preparation is the most important thing. We have to learn the opera back to front, ensuring that we know the movements, text and music of absolutely everyone involved in the production so that if someone is absent in rehearsal, we can walk the role at a moment's notice. I have done more love scenes with a tenor than I would care to admit! Similarly, if the Director is delayed or ill, there is the expectation that we will be able to step in to take the call; the rehearsal must go on'.
'In addition, we have to keep accurate notes in our score, from technical details to movement and subtext, so that when a revival comes along the director's original intention is always preserved. Then, when the rehearsals move on stage, we either sit with the director taking notes or work backstage with a headset, communicating information quickly to singers and stage management.'
Since joining the programme, Greg has assisted on productions ranging from Francesca Zambello's classic Carmen to John Fulljames's new staging of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.
'I had a period this Season where I assisted on Tristan und Isolde, Andrea Chénier and Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny back-to-back with no break in between', he says. 'Each show gets at least four weeks of rehearsal and stage time, and so I was preparing a good six months in advance to make sure I'd learnt it. It's full on, but really exciting.'
Greg studied law and acting at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, before moving to Florence to study opera direction. He has directed and assisted on over forty productions of theatre, music theatre and opera across Australia and Europe. Next Season, he takes up the position of Jette Parker Associate Director, and will be directing the annual Meet the Young Artists Week Performance, which this year will be Peter Maxwell Davies's The Lighthouse.
'It's great to be here for another year', he says. 'You have the best chorus, the best stage management, and the best company management in the world. They make it so easy that all of the energy can go into the performance. There is a tannoy in every room so everyone knows what's going on stage – as if the theatre is the beating heart of the opera house and everyone, no matter where they work, can hear the fruits of their labour being realized.'
The Jette Parker Young Artists Programme is supported by Oak Foundation. Find out more about the Programme.
Betrothal and Betrayal takes place on 18 July at 1pm. Tickets are available.

Freedom in the World

Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Voters in the Bahamas' May 2007 elections ousted the ruling Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and brought former prime minister Hubert Ingraham of the Free National Movement (FNM) party back to power.
The Bahamas, a former British colony, became an independent state within the Commonwealth in 1973. Lynden Pindling served as the country's first prime minister and head of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) for a quarter-century. After years of allegations of corruption and involvement by high officials in narcotics trafficking, Pindling and the PLP were defeated by the Free National Movement (FNM) party in 1992 elections. The FNM ruled the Bahamas for 10 years under Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham, until the 2002 elections brought the PNP, led by Perry Christie, back to power. In May 2007, the FNM triumphed at the polls, winning 23 parliamentary seats to the PLP's 18, thereby restoring Ingraham to the prime minister's office and demoting Christie to leader of the opposition. Christie and Ingraham are close personal friends and business partners, which has left many Bahamians feeling that their country's politics are dominated by an exclusive clique. The economic and political policies of the Bahamas have remained remarkably consistent under both prime ministers.
As the Caribbean's only upper-income country, the Bahamas has established a model service economy based on an impressive tourism sector—which accounts for 30 percent of national income—and offshore financial services. However, the Christie administration did not effectively curb narcotics trafficking, and rising rates of violent crime associated with drug-gang activity have proven difficult to contain. The Bahamas also suffers from a new trend of marijuana cultivation and trafficking by foreign nationals residing in the country. In addition, the offshore financial system, despite having undergone reforms, continues to be used for illicit purposes.
The Bahamas has prioritized the effort to build closer ties with the United States. The government has allowed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to place armed sky marshals on selected flights between the two countries. The United States and the Bahamas cooperate regularly on migration matters, but migration to the Bahamas from Cuba and Haiti remains a political flashpoint. In March 2006, two Cuban dentists whose boat stalled in Bahamian waters en route to the United States were finally released after a year of detention. More than 600 Haitian migrants were captured in Bahamian waters during the first six months of 2007, an increase over the previous year.
The Bahamas is an electoral democracy. The lower house of the bicameral Parliament, the 41-member House of Assembly, is directly elected for five-year terms. The 16 members of the upper house, the Senate, are appointed for five-year terms by the governor-general, who represents the British monarch as head of state. Nine of the senators are appointed on the recommendation of the prime minister, four on the recommendation of the opposition leader, and three on the recommendation of the prime minister after consulting with the opposition leader. The head of the majority party or coalition in Parliament typically serves as prime minister.
Political parties can organize freely. The two leading parties are the FNM, headed by the new prime minister, Hubert Ingraham, and the PLP, led by outgoing prime minister Perry Christie.
The Bahamas was not ranked by Transparency International in its 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.
The Bahamas has a well-developed tradition of respecting freedom of the press and freedom of expression. Daily and weekly newspapers, all privately owned, express a variety of views on public issues, as do the government-run radio station and four privately owned radio broadcasters. Following his 2007 electoral victory, Prime Minister Ingraham suspended two journalists from the Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas, alleging that they were involved with the PLP. Full freedom of expression is constrained by strict libel laws. Access to the internet is unrestricted.
The people's rights to religious and academic freedom are respected.
The Bahamas guarantees freedom of assembly. Constitutional guarantees of the right to organize civic organizations are generally respected, and human rights organizations have broad access to institutions and individuals. Labor, business, and professional organizations are generally free from government interference. Unions have the right to strike, and collective bargaining is prevalent. In 2007, mistreatment of migrant workers was reported, including claims of labor abuses from Mexican workers at local resort construction projects.
The judicial system is headed by the Supreme Court and a court of appeals, with the right of appeal under certain circumstances to the Privy Council in London. Some progress has been reported in reducing both the length of court cases and the backlog of criminal appeals. Nevertheless, some murder suspects have been held for up to four years before being brought to trial. In March 2006, the Privy Council ruled that death sentences for individuals convicted of murder in the Bahamas are unconstitutional. Violent crime is a continuing problem, although the country has not suffered the same crime levels as much of the rest of the Caribbean. The Royal Bahamas Police Force has increased coordination with the Royal Bahamas Defence Force to fight corruption and stem the illegal drug trade.
Nongovernmental organizations have documented the occasional abuse of prisoners and arbitrary arrest. Prison overcrowding remains a major problem, and juveniles are often housed with adults, increasing the risk of sexual abuse. A new "correctional training institute" separates convict populations sentenced for different crimes.
Discrimination against people of Haitian descent persists, and between 30,000 and 40,000 Haitians reside illegally in the Bahamas. Strict citizenship requirements and a stringent work-permit system leave Haitians with few rights.
The government remains strongly opposed to homosexuality. The Bahamian Plays and Films Control Board banned the gay-themed American film Brokeback Mountain in 2006, prompting local gay rights groups to voice concerns about censorship.
Violence against women is widespread, and child abuse and neglect remain serious issues of concern. In October 2006, a man convicted of attempting to rape an elderly woman was sentenced to eight lashes with a cat-o'-nine-tails, prompting condemnation from human rights groups. A high incidence of child labor also continues to be a concern, and children who work face a high risk of sexual exploitation.

One of the things that you should know before buying any breast enhancement supplement or cream is that they do not work for all women. Also they tend to provide different results since some women notice increase in size while others notice improvement in shape and fullness. However it is worthwhile to mention that results mostly depend on the length of time you use these products. In most cases first noticeable results are firmer and fuller breasts and after longer usage you should notice increase in breast size too. Also it is important to point out that for some women supplements work better than creams and vice versa.
Is Breast Actives a Scam?
In my opinion Breast Actives is definitely not a scam. This is because this product is around for a couple of years already and women who already tried it and noticed improvement keep using it for many months. In most cases companies that sell scam products disappears within just a couple of months. This is however not the case with Breast Actives and it can be said that popularity of this product grown so much that it will be probably around for many years in advance. However as it was mentioned previously breast augmentation products does not work all the time. This is because all breast enhancement products are based on similar herbs and extracts that are aimed at providing you with more phytoestrogens and regulating certain hormones. While these effects from natural herbs and extracts seem to work for most women it doesn't for others. Even clinical trials on separate ingredients like Pueraria Mirifica showed that it works only on ~70%-88% women. However a combination of more different ingredients in one product like Breast Actives can definitely provide users with even a better success rate.
Visit the official page of Breast Actives here.
Reasons why Breast Actives work so well.
One of the main reasons why Breast Actives works so well for most women is it's well selected formulation. In fact many similar supplements or creams for breast enlargement only contains half a dosage of ingredients and require users to take more pills daily in order to achieve similar results. It can be said that the ingredients in both Breast Actives products are well selected for their effectiveness for breast enlargement. For instance a supplement of Breast Actives includes high dosages of Fennel, Fenugreek, Dong Quai, Dandelion, Blessed Thistle, which are all known for their ability to enhance breast size. The cream of Breast Actives contains Pueraria Mirifica, which in 2 clinical trials was proven to be effective for 70%-88% participants. Women who took Pueraria Mirifica either noticed improvement in firmness or size and better results were achieved with higher dosages of this extract (800 mg). There are also more than ten other ingredients and extracts in this cream that can help to improve effectiveness of this cream. So with Breast Actives you would be getting all these proven to work extracts and herbal ingredients for breast enhancement in two products, which can definitely enchase your results rather than using these components separately. The other reason why Breast Actives works so well is because it offers two products in one that work from both inside and outside. So you can get far better results than compared with other similar brands that offer either a cream or a supplement.
Due to popularity of Breast Actives product there are also many reviews and consumer testimonials online that confirm its effectiveness. While it certainly does not work for all women, the success rate is quite high. In fact it can be said that this product has one of the best feedbacks from consumers when compared with similar supplements or creams. Read a few actual consumer reviews of Breast Actives bellow.
Even though Breast Actives does work for most users it might be also worthwhile to try to follow a certain exercise routine or diet that can also help to improve the appearance of your breasts. In fact when you order any Breast Actives product there will be also additional bonuses included – exercise plan, massage routines and diet plan. These additional bonuses are specifically designed for women who want to enchase their breast size and combining these products together will guarantee the best possible results.

Review for Wedding Photography at Southdowns Manor Wedding Outside Venue I met Suzanne and Steve are year ago. What a lovely photography review.

Spring wedding at the tide barn in Hampshire
Owl Ring Delivery So, when the couple said their wedding rings were to be flown down the aisle by owls, I was excited. They were getting married at The Tithe Barn in Petersfield, which is massive. It's has very super high gothic arches, not unlike a church. I just had pictures of the owl going […]
Description of a Spring wedding in a Hampshire Barn called The Tithe Barn with a young couple, with luxury Hampshire Wedding Suppliers and me as their wedding photographer who lives in Chichester, West Sussex. The blog has many wedding suppliers including wedding dresses, bridal, catering and wedding dresses.
Here is a sample of how I design a wedding album. Technically, you can get about 60 images into a 40 page album. That is 20 sides and 40 pages. If you put one large and 4 small, then you can get 20 x 5, however, some pages (the ones with the special shots), you want to take up the entire spread with; or at least one page. So, I always ask for 60, sometimes need more and sometimes use less.
We had 45 minutes to rush around take these shots. How easy! What a lovely couple and what a great laugh. So many places. I LOVE Petworth House … and so did Pam and David. They will be married at Southend Barns in May 2015 and so they should.
Caroline and Simon married a few weeks back at the Crouchers Hotel which is a rural yet close to town wedding venue in Chichester. It offers fields and beautiful views, but is still local to town and the beach. They have award winning chefs and the food is to die for. The team at Crouchers know how to look after wedding parties big and small. They have a great sized room on the side for a disco and the outside is accessible for summer weddings allowing guests to go from one room to another.

At last, after days of not cooking and baking, I have today to work in the kitchen before spending the next few days in school. I have loads of recipes to try before I go back to Singapore and I have to grab every little opportunity to do that!
These ribs are easy to prepare and the longer it is in the oven, the better they taste!
Adapted from The Essential New York Times Cookbook by Amanda Hesser
Serves 4
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbsp ketchup
1/2 cup water
4 pounds spareribs, cut into serving pieces
1. Combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, and water in a pan large enough to hold the ribs. Marinate the spareribs in this mixture in the refrigerator for several hours, turning a few times.
2. Roast the ribs for 1 1/2 hours in an oven set at 350F. I took it out at different times to baste the ribs. I find that the longer the ribs stay in the oven, the softer they become, and of course, the flavour too.

A card trick involving some Aces, they are all shown back & front, they then mysteriously turn Face Down and Face Up as the magician displays them. Then, for a kicker finish, as some are turned face up, they've changed into Jorkers. The remainder when turned face down, have a multitude of different coloured backs.

The Authentic Entrepreneur
with founder, Chris Angell
Hey, it's Chris Angell and to say that I'm pumped that you're here would be an understatement.
A lot of time and thought has gone into preparing for this podcast. My hope is to further the conversation of authenticity in business. That we could transcend the days of manipulative ads and marketing to genuine connection and engagement.
So every Monday and Friday I'll publish an episode of The Authentic Entrepreneur where I interview successful entrepreneurs who have gone before us. With the goal that on Monday's you're feeding your mind and soul content that keeps you centered for the week and that on Fridays, after ebbing and flowing to the projects and fires in your week, that you could finish strong with me in a way that brings you back to center.
I would recommend subscribing to the show on iTunes or whatever player you're using so that the episodes are automatically downloaded and simply waiting in your podcast player on Mondays and Fridays.
Alright… enough housekeeping for now…I went back and forth on whether to re-record this interview or even scrap it all together. I was annoyed by my stuttering…. and stumbling over my words. I just didn't like the way I sounded. And that is why I decided to keep it.
I think one of the biggest obstacles we face in bringing more authenticity to business is accepting to who we are, loving who we are and working from who we are. Too many times we're trying to polish it up, make it perfect or do it "right" in fear that people won't accept us for who we are. Plus I think most of the time we're really tough graders on ourselves and that too gets in the way of authenticity in our business. Because it's never "good enough" we don't actually follow up or reach out or enact our vision on the world to the degree or velocity we've envisioned.
But I think the consumer is now looking for more authenticity and realness from the businesses they work with.So, with that in mind, I have decided to air this interview with my wife in the hopes that you get to know me a little and that it gives you insight into why I wanted to make a podcast like this.Don't worry, starting in the next episode I interview guests and they do most of the talking. But for now, let me share a little of who I am with you...
Dive into the first episode below.
At Groundswell Business Consulting and on The Authentic Entrepreneur Podcast - We're furthering a conversation that transcends marketing tactics or systems to develop true connections and engagement with our customers and audience.
How to Use This Content/Podcast Effectively
Every Monday
Every Friday you wrap up the week after you've spent the week in the trenches. Come back and reframe your mindset. Make sure to subscribe below so you can stay up to date with what we're doing.
The Groundswell Method | Free Course
An efficient soulful approach for bringing more people into your business
(or following up with the ones you already have - wink, wink)
One of the biggest mistakes I made along my entrepreneurial journey was following what others were doing. Following the trends and starting to dissect the game, focusing on total revenue and income that would benefit me.
It's so important that we maintain authenticity through self-awareness and have that be evident throughout everything our customers and audience interact with.
Once you have something that you really care about and find something you can stand for it's easy to bridge that personal authenticity to an industry.
That's what the authentic entrepreneur is all about. Authenticity is a journey of self-awareness and the entrepreneurs who get it right stand to attract more leads and more engagement from their target market.

Lawyers, judges owe duties to self-reps
By AdvocateDaily.com Staff
In part one of a two-part series on self-represented litigants, Toronto senior litigation lawyer Jeffrey Silver looks at what's expected of judges and lawyers.
Judges and lawyers have significant obligations to self-represented parties in court, Toronto senior litigation lawyer Jeffrey Silver tells AdvocateDaily.com.
Silver, principal of Jeffrey C. Silver Barrister, says the courts, regulators and legal organizations have all been forced into action by an explosion in the number of individuals appearing before judges without counsel.
In their book, Canadian Civil Procedure Law, Linda Abrams and Kevin McGuiness cite the declining availability of legal aid and the rising cost of litigation as reasons for the trend.
But whatever the explanation, "There is a real concern now in courts that self-represented litigants are dealt with fairly," Silver says. "Before we can start thinking about practical ways to deal with self-reps and keep costs down, we must first gain a proper understanding of the duties judges and lawyers have to self-reps."
Judges' obligations
According to Silver, 2006 was a key year in the development of judges' duties to litigants without lawyers. That was when the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) issued its statement of principles on self-represented persons.
"It put obligations on judges that normally would not be required of them in court, and allowed them to become more activist, so to speak," he explains.
Unveiling the document, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin said that "ensuring better access to justice is a council priority," adding that the increasing number of self-represented persons who appear in the court system was "a serious matter."
"Access to justice for those who represent themselves requires that all aspects of the court process be open, transparent, clearly defined, simple, convenient and accommodating," the statement reads.
To promote equal justice, the CJC statement also requires judges, where appropriate, to "consider engaging in such case management activities as are required to protect the rights and interests of self-represented persons." In certain circumstances, judges may also explain the process, provide information about the law and even refer self-reps to agencies that may be able to assist them.
"That's a big shift because these are things judges would normally shy away from for fear of appearing to enter the fray or show bias to one side," Silver explains.
The Supreme Court of Canada solidified the principles by endorsing them in a landmark 2017 decision. That was followed swiftly by an Ontario Court of Appeal case, where the panel found a trial judge had made an effort "to discharge his responsibility to protect the right of the self-represented person to be heard." However, they found the judge fell short, due to his failure to sufficiently inquire about an abandoned claim, resulting in an unfair trial.
"These developments all put additional pressure on judges to act in a certain way," Silver says. "Lawyers in court must understand that judges have their own obligations to self-reps that they wouldn't ordinarily."
Lawyers' obligations
Silver says lawyers must tread a particularly careful path when acting opposite self-represented litigants, due to the inherent tension between their duties to the opposing party, and that owed to their own clients.
According to rule 5.1-1 of the Law Society of Ontario's Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers in adversarial proceedings have "a duty to the client to raise fearlessly every issue, advance every argument and ask every question, however distasteful, that the lawyer thinks will help the client's case and to endeavour to obtain for the client the benefit of every remedy and defence authorized by law."
Silver says that duty bumps up against the need for civility between opposing counsel, with relationships between lawyers guided informally by the three C's: courtesy, communication and common sense.
"As a lawyer, you have an obligation to act in good faith and avoid sharp practice," he says.
However, Silver adds that the tension magnifies when there is no lawyer on the other side since rule 7.2-9 sets out specific guidelines for dealing with unrepresented parties. According to the rule, lawyers must:
- take care to see that the unrepresented person is not proceeding under the impression that their interests will be protected by the lawyer
- take care to see that the unrepresented person understands that the lawyer is acting exclusively in the interests of the client and accordingly their comments may be partisan
Professional groups have expanded on these rules with their own guidance for counsel. For example, the Advocates' Society's Principles of Professionalism and Civility for Advocates bars lawyers from attempting "to gain a benefit for their client solely due to the fact that a litigant is self-represented," adding that they should "co-operate with the court in ensuring that a self-represented litigant receives a fair hearing."
"At trial, advocates are entitled to raise proper and legitimate objections but should not take advantage of technical deficiencies in a self-represented litigant's case which do not prejudice the rights and interests of their client," the principles continue. Similar guidance has been issued by the American College of Trial Lawyers in its Canadian Code of Conduct for Trial Lawyers.
In addition, Silver says a 2015 Ontario Superior Court case creates a positive duty for lawyers to assist unrepresented parties with scheduling.
"It is not just the duty of judges to ensure that all parties receive a fair hearing. Lawyers are required to do so as well," the judge wrote, ordering defence counsel to accommodate the self-represented plaintiff's needs when scheduling cross-examinations.
"It is the fairness of the process that differentiates the justice system from a street fight or trial by battle," the judge added.
Stay tuned for part two, when Silver will offer practical tips for lawyers acting opposite individuals without legal counsel.

Roman Forts at Haltern Map
Page 24 of Ancient Warfare magazine's recent special issue on the Varian Disaster was meant to include my illustrated map. Unfortunately, a temporary sketch was accidentally printed in Duncan Campbell's "Secrets from the Soil" article. With the rush to get this issue out, I can understand how this rare error occurred. I would still like to share my work, so I have posted it here. What do you think? Duncan had the nice idea for the dagger compass.

Greg Heiland was name as the recipient of the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology 2018 Robert L. Mielke Award, on May 2nd, 2018. This award is given for his efforts to recruit subject matter experts for working groups to ensure that recommended practices retain technical accuracy and relevance to current markets, and for his willingness to volunteer for multiple roles in working groups and conference presentations.
The significance of the award is grounded in what Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) contributes to critical environment practices, policies, processes, and guidelines. IEST is the leading technical, nonprofit membership association that connects professionals who deal with controlled environments. IEST offers technical guidance through International Standards, Recommended Practices, and education programs developed by experts in the fields of contamination control, environmental testing, and nanotechnology facilities. Greg Heiland being a preeminent member and contributor.
The Edge is the Enemy
When talking about cleanroom wipers, the edge is the primary contaminant source. If your environment requires critically low levels of particle and fiber release, then this blog is for you!
Cleanroom wipers come in a variety of substrates, and each has different levels of contamination based on the edges. For example, a Polyester wiper with a knife cut edge will release fibers during the application. The "knife-cut edge" method consists of using a steel blade to cut the fabric… this method can leave a certain amount of threads in the wiper open and loose and can lead to particulate contamination in your cleanroom.
Training new employees can be challenging, especially if you are consistently bringing in new hires. If you do not have a strict system in place or a team just for training, relevant topics can quickly be pushed to the side, leaving your critical environment at risk of contamination. Lucky for you, Valutek developed a complete training to solve this problem; and better yet, it's completely free. Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions:
What's included?
Critical Academy is full of the best training that is current to today's IEST standards.
How long is it?
New operators can expect to finish Critical Academy in about a day. There are quizzes that they must pass to make sure they are learning the material.
What do I need?
Nothing. That's the best part about Critical Academy. We went ahead and built a kit to help make this successful for you. To get the kit, all you have to do is let us know how many you want and where to send them to.
What does it look like?
Great questions! This whole training is full of quick and simple videos. You can check out the screenshot below to get a better idea.
Why am I not enrolled?
Well...we were wondering that too?

Red Solo Cups in the Cleanroom?
You might have read that title and said: "why would clean room operators want to have a Red Solo Cup in the lab"? Maybe the right question to ask is, how do I reduce solvent exposure for my operators? We get this question a lot from Environmental Health and Safety staff because exposure to these solvents can be a severe issue. I'll get back to the Red Solo Cup soon.
When it comes to choosing new gloves for your cleanroom, the options can be very overwhelming. There are many choices to be made, from different materials to colors and textures. While glove trends come and go, the one constant in all the changes is the use of latex as the material. That is why we have put together a list of some advantages and disadvantages of latex to bring attention to why it has been around for so long.
Ever wonder if you're a good cleanroom operator? Put your knowledge to the test and find out now!
Didn't do so hot? Check out ourFREE Critical Academy to help boost those scores!
Latex has been a leading material in the disposable glove industry for a very long time. During the years 1980-2000, Latex had the best cost/performance ratio to any material available. Latex is both durable and easy to manufacture. Times have changed since its reign, but latex is still a very prominent element when it comes to making disposable gloves. Especially, in the cleanroom.
Normally, when we ship out an order we are under the impression that our consumables are going to be used in a very critical environment. But this past week we were reminded that our products can make a big impact outside of the cleanroom as well! Ms. Gilkey's 7th grade students in Austin, Texas combined their art skills with science and drew the different anatomy systems on our coveralls. This was a great way to map out the human body, key into art talents (our coveralls work well with paint and Sharpies, by the way) and use our garments in a new and innovative way! Our Director of Marketing, Jeff Saville, said "It's always a great day at Valutek when we get to support STEM efforts within schools!" Here's a look at what the Harmony School students created.
Keeping your pre-wetted wipers wet is not always as easy as it sounds. The use, the packaging, the solution can all have an effect on how long it takes for the wipers to dry out. Today, we are going to talk about the packaging that they come in and how that can be the cause of your dry wipers. Most pre-wetted wipers either come in a pouch or a pail. The major differences between these two options are obvious, but there are some differences that you might not consider. In a pouch with a sticker seal, the alcohol can deteriorate the sticker making it lose its adhesive glue. So, when you go to close the wiper pouch, the sticker does not seal and the outgassing continues. Another pouch option is one with a zipper seal. This is better than the sticker option, but it leaves room for error. If there is air still stuck in the pouch, that can aid in the drying out process as well. The best way to ensure your wipers stay wet it by keeping them in a pail. The biggest advantage to the pail is the guaranteed air tight closure every time. This is not something that can be guaranteed by the pouches.
To learn more about keeping your pre-wetted wipers wet, watch the video below!
Are You Using a Mismatch Set?
One of the most common ways to cut corners in a cleanroom is by buying generic consumables for your operators. While this can prove to be a great way to save money, it is not a sure way to prevent contamination. Generic consumables can have hidden contamination and fillers that make the product look clean but releases contamination when used. For some, this can be easily managed but for others it can stop production and temporarily close. To learn more about a mismatch set in a cleanroom watch the video below or give us a call!

Author(s): Alexander Cockburn; Jeffrey St. Clair
We can no longer trust that our journalists are reporting the news without underlying corporate or governmental agendas. The US government deregulates radio and right-wing Clear Channel gobbles up available frequencies. Journalists are embedded and the war in Iraq is a noble one. Whether the information is fabricated, one-sided, or illegally obtained, recent scandals like those involving Judy Miller and Robert Woodward only serve to underline the point that journalistic integrity is not what it used to be.Enter Jeffrey St. Clair and Alexander Cockburn, who have not only kept the tradition of muckraking alive, but have reinvented and reinvigorated it for our times. Their newest effort, End Times, presents a detailed scrutiny of the "quality" print press and leading corporate media in the last decade, detailing a disastrous sequence of misrepresentation, suppression, ignorance, and willful embrace of the government's agenda. These essays trace the impending disintegration of what is now "old media"--the traditional and now potentially tainted sources of our daily news--and looks toward the emergence of an entirely new landscape of mass communications: one that includes a more populist approach to information dissemination.

When I started writing, I found ideas everywhere.I wrote them down, then immediately started on the new idea, sometimes to the detriment of an already begun work in progress. As a result, I ended up with lots of works in progress and very few, or no, finished manuscripts.
Other, more mature writers gave me an invaluable piece of advice. Wait for the creative spark to ignite and build. As I've grown as a writer, I began to realize the wisdom of this advice.
An idea is just that, a spark, a flicker of something that, with proper attention, will grow into a warm blaze. A creative idea often needs time and attention in the form of imagination, world building, and at times, space and time to grow. I usually write my ideas down and then leave them to rise, like bread. As new elements pop into my head about an idea, and they often do, I jot it down, just as a note to the idea. When an idea has taken hold of my imagination to the point that I'm obsessed with it over anything else, then that's when I know, it's time to start with that book.
How do you deal with your ideas? Do they emerge full blown before you? Or do they come in tiny increments, growing from a spark to a flame in your mind over time?
Don't be afraid to let an idea rest and grow on its own while you finish another story. Given time, your imagination will take hold and nurture it into the book you HAVE to write.
