Peak Performance Swim Camp introduces two NEW summer camp programs in Orlando! Choose our INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY CAMP for 11 & Over swimmers OR our specially-designed TOP 10 CAMP for 10 & Under swimmers. Refine your stroke technique to swim faster and more efficiently!
For competitive swimmers ages 11-18.
Our 5-day IM Camp covers the entire individual medley from the front start, the four strokes, the three IM turns, plus the ideal racing strategy. It's the complete package over five days! Training and racing in the IM is a wise choice as it develops all four strokes and makes swimmers more versatile and competitive. Most people think of Michael Phelps as the King of Butterfly, but he's also the only swimmer in history to win the 200 IM in four consecutive Olympics. PEAK coaches are masters at teaching and training, and our 7-to-1 swimmer-to-coach ratio is the lowest in the industry! Learn from the PEAK pros and get the winning edge!
For competitive swimmers ages 8-10.
It's finally here, a swim camp exclusively designed for the 10 & Under swimmer! At PEAK, our mission is to get swimmers off to a fast start by teaching them the skills they need to win! 10 & Under swimmers are a unique group who require extra care, attention, and patience, so we created a swim camp just for them. Our five-day format covers the three starts (front, back, and relay), the four strokes and turns, plus mini swim sets throughout the day. PEAK coaches are masters at teaching state-of-the-art technique, and our 6-to-1 swimmer-to-coach ratio is the lowest in the industry! Due to our low ratio, space is limited. Come to PEAK and get a competitive advantage!
Note: The Top 10 Camp is not a learn-to-swim program, but specifically designed for aspiring young competitive swimmers. Throughout the camp, swimmers perform multiple lengths of each stroke, including the Butterfly.

Hello, I'm James Mallinson, the co-founder of Fix My Mind. I work rapidly and effectively to help clients deal with the cause and/or effect of what's affecting them. I really enjoy working with people and quickly get great results.
Would you like to be the better version of yourself that you strive to be and know that you can be? To allow yourself to either start doing and getting more of what you want and less of what you don't? And would it be reassuring to work with one the UK's most effective and high profile practitioners of Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, TFT & Havening?
After a life-changing experience with hypnotherapy in 2006, I completely changed career. I am trained to the very highest level in a number of different complimentary therapies that work collectively with Clinical Hypnotherapy to get you the best result. Having these skills means I'm very versatile in working with my clients, meaning it's more likely that you'll get the desired result that you want and do so in the shortest possible time.
I hope having read this, you'll feel comfortable to take advantage of my complimentary 20-minute consultation where we can discuss what you want and need. To do this, simply call me on freephone 0800 122 3073 or email me at email@example.com.
I get results quickly and consistently for my clients and specialise in just a handful of treatments. Generally, only 1 to 2 sessions can help you:
Why work with me?
Results and testimonials. Perhaps the most important reason is the consistent results I achieve in working with clients. I work with board directors of global companies through to students, and from children to pensioners. Everyone is treated the same way. You can check our authentic testimonials out here
I'm the therapist who recently worked with Dame Kelly Holmes to help her with her lifelong fear of drowning. The work we did was profiled on BBC Radio 4. After her session, Kelly said "I dived straight in and same 5x25m lengths". She gave her experience of hypnotherapy with me "10/10".
Training & pedigree - I've completed over 1000hrs of studying training with world-class institutes and trainer to achieve my qualifications – ensuring you're in very capable hands.
Focus. I only focus on a very few range of treatments. Doing this means you are more likely to get the right result, as opposed to seeing generalist / 'a man for all seasons'
Media coverage. Because of the results that I get, I've been featured on & in the likes of BBC Radio 4, Reveal magazine, The Observer & Hampshire Chronicle.
100% bespoke. From your initial complimentary consultation, through to your pre-session work and actual sessions, everything we do is 100% bespoke for you.
Price. We are very competitively and 100% transparently priced based across all of our treatments.
Speed. Based on the results of what we do, most clients need only 1-2 sessions to get what they want. And with the likes of a phobia, panic attacks or smoking cessation, you need only 1 session
Nice people. As well as being good at what I do, I try to do everything as warmly and humanely as possible. And sometimes that can mean being pretty direct also if that is what's called for.
Prior to becoming a therapist I had a senior, award-winning role in the media industry, working at board-level. And after a life changing experience of Hypnotherapy in 2006, I began training to the highest levels of Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, TFT and Havening . To date, I've trained for almost 1000hrs, which is significantly higher than a lot of therapist and now run a very busy practice in London and Winchester.
If you are like most people, you'll find this interesting and think about doing something about your life sooner or later. If you are like me, then you'll want to get on with it and do something about it now. If that's you, then I will invest 20 minutes of my time to show you how I work and how you can get what you want. Go to www.fixmymind.co.uk and book your FREE initial consultation now. Or give me a call on freephone 0800 122 3073.
Thanks for reading.
My training encompassed over 1000hrs of studying with two of the most reputable organisations with a world-class pedigree.

I did my my Clinical Hypnotherapy Certificate & Diploma at the London College of Clinical Hypnotherapy (LCCH) - http://www.lcch.co.uk.

Professional accreditation:
1. British society of Clinical Hypnotherapy
2 General Hypnotherapy register
3. The American Board of Hypnotherapy & NLP
4. The Association of NLP

We are very transparent in our fees, both here and on our website. We will always be honest with you about how many treatments you need. And, compared to many similarly trained and experienced practitioners, our pricing is very competitive.

One to three session treatments. For anxiety, confidence, habit-breaking & insomnia we charge £290 per two hour session.
Before retraining as a therapist, I worked in the media industry for 16 years, working at operational, strategic and communications director level. After having a life changing experience with hypnosis in 2006, I decided to change careers and retrain in 2007. As a result of my 1st career, I've got a real handle on the pressures of corporate life and approach challenges from a realistic, practical and effective manner that I think benefits my clients. .
I genuinely love what I do and the change it can bring to clients. I also have a real passion for learning and regularly top up my training and reading far in excess of the recommended levels. I think it's important.
Where time permits, I also volunteer for a charity called 'The Warrior Programme' that helps ex-servicemen deal with their extreme emotions.
I'm father to a little boy called Luca and live with my partner Claire. We have a bonkers brown Labrador called Pele and live in Winchester!

Busting Buddha's Knees
October 12, 2012
It was not one of my finer moments. Eyeing the soft, dry grass, I knew it was a now-or-never moment to whip out the lawn mower for the final cut of the season.
In between phone calls, I raced around the house, collecting the extension cord and my tennis shoes for a quick jaunt around the yard with our electric mower. I read somewhere that grass clippings act as a natural fertilizer so I opted to mow without the clipping basket, making the mowing experience a tad louder and messier.
That's when my neighbor decided to say hello through the hedge. In my breathlessness, I waved her off, although I hadn't seen her all summer.
"Things to do!" I shouted over the mower's drone.
"That's right," she said flatly. "You never have time."
How could this be? Did I really give my retired neighbor the feeling I never have time for a chat over the fence? Did she feel slighted because I wouldn't turn off my mower and have a gab in the light of the setting sun?
Maybe she heard the ticking of the clock in my cranium. I was busy and gave her the feeling she wasn't important.
Back at the task, I sloppily pushed the mower around for a few minutes until our tiny lawn had been slaughtered into a diminutive version of itself.
As I flew back into the house, I caught the extension cord on the pedestal where my Buddha statue placidly rests. He tumbled to the ground, leaving a dent in the wood floor and shattering his right knee.
It was a sign that I needed to slow down. Now.
In that moment, I knew what I had to do. I headed back outside and called out to my neighbor.
"Where have you been, my friend?" I asked her calmly. She smiled. A warm exchange ensued. She suddenly felt heard, important, loved. It made me smile from the inside out.
I'm sorry, Buddha, for shattering your knee in the process. But since my mom saw the Dalai Lama live last night, I hope you'll forgive me.
It's a lesson I hope I've learned for the last time.
On What's Most Important
September 20, 2012
Fame. It's not all it's cracked up to be.
I work with famous people on occasion when I'm on a film or TV set. And what I've observed is the pressure they endure on a daily basis, trying to uphold a standard that the public has set for them. It is tiring, taxing and at best, unnerving. Everyone has an opinion of you and if you aren't in the best of moods, it somehow lands in the tabloids the next day.
My sister once said, "I'd like to be just left of the limelight. In the mix, but not in the public eye."
I see what she means now.
The other day I had the chance to drink champagne with several celebrities, but after a day's work in a dusty studio that smelled of manure and pyrotechnics, I was ready for a shower and some pizza with the kids instead. So I drove the hour home, racing through the door with a heightened level of excitement to see everyone again, only to find my family busy with their iPods, laptops and television sets.
Enter the feeling of let down. It's what my friend Donald calls the moment of doom right before you enter your familiar space at home. You know it will be different than you hope it to be, but hope dies last, as they say.
It wasn't until we had assembled at the dinner table an hour later that I realized why I had run home instead of sipping the bubbly with the stars. It was a moment of belly laughs and connection and jokes with the kids that I wouldn't have missed for the world. It may have been slower in coming than I had wished, but the love was there all along beneath the distraction of our digital world.
Fame can't give you that. Family can.

Dead Man (Distracted) Walking
August 4, 2012
The other day I scored major points with my son. He indirectly mentioned his concern about my iPhone obsession by commenting about how another soccer mom watched her phone more than the game.
"She's reaaaaaaally manic about her phone, Mom," he eyed me closely. He was looking for hand tremors, involuntary eye-twitching or anything to reveal whether or not I could take on his veiled challenge. (To my defense, I do watch his games, not my phone, but it is usually in my pocket, tugging at my thoughts even as I focus on the field).
In an effort to prove him I could do without my phone not only on the sidelines, but also in life, I snapped it off mid-day in the middle of my work week and headed for the pool.
"Looks like it's going to be a hot one. And look, Son, I'm leaving my phone at home." He raised not one, but both eyebrows as he watched me turn it off completely and calmly place it in the cupboard.
Can you hear the slot machine go ka-ching? Yes, I scored big with him that day. And you know what? Instead of drawing my attention to my phone screen, I had plenty of time to watch other people do it instead.
Is that really what I do all day? I watched people cling to their devices like an emphesymic patient to his oxygen tank. Because I knew my phone was at home, I felt more energetic, as if that holding pattern of "what is someone calls/texts/emails me" had been eradicated. And in truth, it had.
It appears many more of us are engaging in digital distractions than not these days.
My Wall Street trader friend on Twitter @StalinCruz pointed out an article about distracted walking that underscores our often harmful obsession with smartphones. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1,152 Americans have been injured in handheld digital device-related events while walking in the past few years. A man recently fell onto the train tracks in Philadelphia while playing with his phone. Luckily, he was not seriously injured, but it shows how all-consuming our electronics have become that we don't even notice the danger of our own behavior.
A University of Maryland study spanning six years found 116 cases in which pedestrians were killed or seriously injured while wearing headphones, two-thirds of whom were men under the age of 30. Fifty percent of the cases involved trains, while 33% were incidents in which a warning horn was sounded just before the accident.
Believe it or not, I have friends who leave their cellphones behind when we meet. We enjoy hours-long conversations without the need to cache, photograph or Facebook every moment we spend together for their broader network. I find when I'm with people who'd rather update their social media status than update me on their lives, it is a classic cocktail party experience in which they are looking over your shoulder for someone better to interact with. It's distracting at best. And in the case of walking, talking and texting, it can be lethal too.
Take the no phone zone challenge today. Leave that mobile behind and reconnect with people in the flesh with your eyes, ears and fingertips at the ready for a real, not virtual, human interaction. Turning on to life is worth it.
Trust me on this one.
Five Fast Ways to More Joy
July 12, 2012
The title caught your eye, didn't it? Not all things that are worthwhile have to come slowly. And although I am dedicated to the power that slow brings, I'm equally committed to human happiness. And I mean for everyone.
You can experience instant joy by doing a few simple things. So in true slow style, I offer you five methods to attain more joy in every day situations.
- Traffic jams. Instead of beating yourself over the head that you took the slow lane and are now trapped on the road, take a look at all the other cars in line with you. They want to get to their destination too. Smile at someone you pass. They just might smile back. Joy points: 2+
- "I'm late" syndrome. While we all like to be on time, life gets in the way sometimes. So if you are going to be late to an appointment, call or text the person and let them know. Chances are they'll be equally relieved to have a few minutes to breathe themselves. If you are going to be late for an event, trust that the Universe has your back and is aligning with what is meant to be. And remember: there's really no such thing as late: you arrive at the right time, every time. Joy points: 1+
- The sound of music. Listen to your favorite tunes. A good song can boost your mood in no time. Joy points: 2+
- Acceptance. You might find this hard to believe, but accepting that some people in your life aren't going to change can liberate you to focus on what they can do. While I do not condone abusive behavior (and if you find yourself in that situation, please ask for help), your quirks make you the person you are. This rule applies to everyone. Joy points: 3+
- Gratitude. I once thanked a person who said she could never be my friend for teaching me so much about communication. She didn't get it, but it made me feel better as I left the situation. Gratitude can heal the weirdest of circumstances. Joy points: off the charts!
So now I'm going to tell you a little secret. To unlock your joy, look at your attitude. A good attitude will give you the altitude to stand above anything life throws at you.
I'm feeling a little joy high right now. Are you?
Let's Call the Whole Thing Off!
April 15, 2012
Imagine taking an entire day off. No cell phone. No one calling your name. No computer. No client calls. No children begging for ice cream. Just you, yourself, and, well, YOU!
Yesterday I declared a sabbatical from my every day life and headed for the hills. Well, not really. I first headed for the woods. In fact, I left my iPhone, with little battery power left, behind. After an hour power walk, I went to the gym to enjoy the sauna and a hot, albeit short, shower. Browsing the supermarket aisles for a snack, I took my time with no real purpose or timeline. I even waited patiently in line while two women and a two-year-old unloaded their heavy shopping cart onto the conveyor belt. I had two items, but didn't mind just standing there soaking in my surroundings. What an fabulous feeling not to try to squeeze time like an orange!
I missed the train to Munich so had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. So what. I called my husband with 30% left on my iPhone battery to say I'd be home in the evening or later, in case I found a movie I liked.
When I finally got to my destination, thousands of people rushed to and fro. Seeking refuge (and warmth) in a bookstore, I sat amongst the others on a long bench made for book lovers who just want to focus on one thing: the book or magazine they were reading. I found a book on burnout, which felt purposeful enough as I am doing research for a new book on it myself.
It was there that I realized how tiring a purpose-driven life can be. When we do everything on purpose, with focus and intention, we have no real time for Bacchalian enjoyment. To do a thing simply because we want to resides outside the realm of our vocabulary. In our achievement-oriented society, having a 'be' day seems extravagent indeed.
But it was just the thing I needed after a string of successive achievements. When we keep our eyes on accomplishment only, we have no time to recuperate. With all our time spent on going for the gold, we find our worth only in the doingness of things instead of realizing just being is more than enough.
Did you know you will continue to exist — that is, to be — even when you don't 'do'?
Where did our drive for constant activity come from? According to the book I just read, Warum Burnout Nicht Vom Job Kommt by Helen Heinemann (in nearly one sitting – it was that good), burnout comes from the blurring of the lines around our specific roles in public and private life. If we live with uncertainty as to where my role begins and, say, my partner's ends, we are left with a domain over which we will combat. Combine the lack of clarity with a lack of pause to reconsider which direction each of us should go and a wildfire ensues. Each of us, running as fast as we can, toward an ill-defined end goal can lead to burnout faster than you can say, "Call 911!"
Slowing down and taking pause really do help because in those pockets of air we allow ourselves come the solutions to many of our issues we otherwise quickly try to sweep under the carpet.
Take the Slow Challenge and call a whole day off for yourself. What do you think you'll discover?

Despite the headlines in the daily news about large companies, in Canada, Small businesses are 97.9% of a total number of established businesses and create the majority of new jobs. We can say that small business is the foundation of the modern economy. Canada is home to more than a one million small companies employing more than 8 million Canadians or more than 70% of the Canadian workforce in the private sector[1].
As a small business owner, you are the driving force behind the Canadian economy and the significant job creator. However, every day, small business owners like you and me are facing new challenges of increasing costs, fierce competition, taxes and healthcare. Based on my experience and keen observation of the trends in the market, I have summarized the most important trends that I believe are reshaping the future of small businesses.
1- Strategic Partnerships
Attracting highly qualified and talented employees are one of the fundamental challenges facing small businesses. To overcome talent shortage, employers will seek strategic partnerships with other business owners to obtain the precious experience and progressive expertise, creating the highest ROI on their collaborations. Sweat-equity will become a trending currency in the market, establishing win-win partnerships.
2- Shrinking Budgets
Economic pressures usually crush small businesses and force them to cut their budgets tremendously. Budget cuts affect the competition-ability and hinder the effort of small businesses in attracting more customers. This tight situation forces business people to become more creative, strategic and work hard on optimizing their processes and tracking their expenses as well as the ROI of any spending.
3- Brand Matters
With the fierce competition, I believe that more emphasis will be on brand equity- that is, the company's brand value to its clients and employees and its perceived image and reputation in the market. Branding is no longer can be achieved and measured by driving traffic to the company's website or placing ads on public buses. Branding efforts of small businesses will continue focusing on a micro niche(s) and differentiating factors, adding more personality to every interaction with clients and reaching a wide range of clients with high quality, high targeted contents.
4- Innovation is a Strategic Growth Strategy
As it is tight for businesses, it is also tight for clients and consumers, meaning that your clients or customers are cutting budgets too and actively searching for new products or services of the highest quality and lowest prices that enable them to work smarter and save loads of ash. By using analytics and asking the right questions, you can create innovative services and products to attract new clients and maintain the existing ones. However, be careful with your creative, brilliant ideas because they will be copied sooner than you think of your competitors, so, stay ahead.
5- Social Networks are Still Big
Relationships are crucial to business growth, and online professional and social networks will continue to be the most important channel for promoting services or products. To stay relevant, your promotion strategies should be relationship-driven, not only creating brand awareness but also solving minor problems to grow your client base and building your online community.

King Salman of Saudi Arabia's has issued a decree which allows women to be given driving licences according to state media.
From June 2018, women driver will be allowed on the road for the first time in the country's history.
Currently, Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which bans women from driving.
Some Saudi women have been fined and imprisoned for driving in the past.
In the country at the moment, women rely on male chaperones and rely on taxis driven by men.
King Salman's predecessor, King Abdullah, had previously said that women would be allowed to drive when society was ready for it.
He said in 2008: "I believe strongly in the rights of women. My mother is a woman. My sister is a woman. My daughter is a woman. My wife is a woman. I believe the day will come when women will drive.
"In fact if you look at the areas of Saudi Arabia, the desert, and in the rural areas, you will find that women do drive. The issue will require patience. In time I believe that it will be possible. I believe that patience is a virtue."
This is a breaking news story and is being updated and more details become available.

Wiltshire College has teamed up with Dorothy House to support its Christmas tree collection scheme, which has raised more than £12,000.
This is the second year the charity, which offers end of life care to patients, has run the scheme expanding into more areas around Melksham, Frome, Westbury, Bradford-on-Avon, Corsham, Trowbridge and parts of Bath.
It is also the second time that the College has been involved.
In total, supporters and volunteers for Dorothy House collected more than 1,500 real Christmas trees at the beginning, 300 of which were delivered to the Lackham campus, which specialises in Land-Based courses.
Horticulture, Land and Wildlife Management and Land-Based students then had the chance to learn a new skill by chipping all the trees, thanks to support from Bill Johnston from T H White, who brought along a machine to assist in the recycling process.
Wood chippers are used to reduce wood to smaller pieces, which can then be used for many different things including mulch in gardening and landscaping.
Bill, who was also involved last year, said: "I was really pleased to be involved once again to bring along the chipper and demonstrate its safe use as well as provide ongoing maintenance.
"Slightly different, this year the students had the chance to use the A540, which is Jensen's best-selling machine."
Vince Platt is a Level 2 Horticulture student and said he enjoyed the experience.
The 18-year-old said: "Before I came to Lackham I had studied A-Levels and did abstract subjects, which I really didn't enjoy.
"I really like this course as its practical and this course gives us lots of opportunities such as this, which are hugely beneficial.
"I enjoyed the training with Bill and having a go at chipping the Christmas trees."
Anthony Cockell, is Head Gardener at Lackham and liaised with Dorothy House to ensure the College's support.
He said: "It's a privilege for the College to play a part in what is a fast growing fundraising scheme for Dorothy House.
"Of course this means our students get the chance for further training and this time with the world's best wood chipper built by Jensen!
"Bill supported us again with a first class demonstration of the mechanics and operation for five classes.
"We owe him our thanks for his time and value it gave our students here at Lackham."
The fresh chippings will predominantly be used on the bark paths around the campus as they reduce weed germination.
Anthony added: "The material decomposes slowly, only needing to be reapplied annual so its traditionally one of the warm winter jobs we have!"
Steph Cox, is a Community Fundraiser for Dorothy House and said: "We are over the moon to have raised £12,800, twice the amount last year.
"It is such a great feeling knowing that the local community has been so supporting by donating their Christmas trees and that this benefits students at Wiltshire College who not only learn how to chip trees, but the best use for them."

720. Have they said why?
(Lord Eatwell) I think the main arguments have been
with respect to issues of content, where we feel that existing
content regulation and indeed the regulations which apply to news
on radio, are sufficient, are strong, are replicated in television,
and that other measures, such as the ownership rules proposed,
are not needed to secure balance and fairness.
(Mr Carnegy) I think the reason we have had as to
why is that in radio it is architecturally possible to regulate
it more thoroughly and vigorously than it is in television and
newspapers, so that is where we stand. A little emblematic nugget
from the Bill is that for a first offence the maximum you can
fine a television company is £100,000, the maximum you can
fine a radio company is £ million. We cannot explain that.
721. To echo a question often asked by Lord
Crickhowell, are there specific sections in the Bill that you
would want out or dramatically amended?
(Mr Carnegy) I think that clarification is crucial.
We are talking about content regulation here. We see the Content
Board as having an absolutely vital role to play and a very positive
role to play, particularly at the licensing stage. We think it
would be helpful also to take on board what we think would be
a duty to promote local content, if it were clarified that that
is a duty that is discharged at licensing, and then the deal is
that the Content Board must keep us to our licence promises. At
the moment we are a little nervous, because of their vagueness,
that that duty might hop back in in mid-licence and I might be
told that because my radio station is in Southampton I cannot
put out a play by a Welshman. Tom Jones's career would take a
nosedive! It is not beyond the wit of regulators to create odd
rules. We think they should be charged with giving regulatory
clarity once the regulation has been made and once we are held
to those promises.
722. To follow on that theme, I think you quote
in the evidence that "it is illogical to suggest that a regulator
is better placed to determine what comprises local content and
character than those working daily in the community". That
is the quote. From what you have said, you are not arguing from
that point of view. You could argue logically that broadcast content
should not be regulated at all in that case, but you are not saying
that. To make it very clear, I think you are saying that the additional
powers that are given in Clause 211 regarding local content and
character should just be allowed at licence time. It is not just
news, is it? If a radio station starts producing all of its programmes
from 100 miles away or whatever, presumably the regulator would
be able to say something?
(Mr Carnegy) Especially if you were in Australia and
it came from America, yes. The deal is not like that in this country,
and we feel very strongly that that needs to be understood. We
support the content regulation, we support the idea of formats.
We think that competitive bidding of content as the driver for
licensing delivers the social objective in radio regulation. We
must never forget that at all times when we are putting forward
promises on a licence, we can be held to those promises. It is
as simple as that.
723. Thank you. I have just one other question.
We have heard about reciprocity and so on. I notice that Capital
support reciprocity regarding foreign ownership, in their submission.
Is that a view shared across the radio sector? We have all heard
that there is not much chance, so we are told, of the British
buying anything American. Would that be true in radio? Would some
of your members possibly want to buy American radio stations at
some stage?
(Mr Mansfield) I think we would like the opportunity
to be able to consider it.
724. That is not the most helpful answer, because
it is a quite crucial issue. We are looking at a situation where
literally no one around this table could buy a 20 per cent stake
in Radio Cincinnati. It would help us if you were rather more
concrete, because this is one area where I think it is open to
Capital to make serious inroads into a US purchase.
(Mr Mansfield) Are you asking me as Capital or as
Mr Grogan: Whichever you choose to answer as.
725. As David Mansfield!
(Mr Mansfield) No, I do not represent him tonight!
I think that as far as Capital is concerned, we would be happy
if reciprocity did not exist, so we support it in our submission,
but it is not a point that we feel that strongly about. I think
that it is difficult for companies, particularly as has been mentioned
earlier, to make major purchases in marketplaces such as the United
States. That is a very difficult situation. I do not think you
would find very many that could do that.
726. Could we put the same question to GWR who
do have holdings in Australia, for example? What is your view
about reciprocity?
(Mr Bernard) It is a very difficult question to answer,
in the sense that one does not want to take away the fact that
these are businesses which are run by people on behalf of shareholders,
and it is clearly in shareholders' interests to think about reciprocity
as something which is not necessarily in their own interests.
What we have said to date is that reciprocity was something we
would like to have in respect of the UK, because we were allowed
to buy radio stations in Australia. Frankly, we did not ever think
we would get the opportunity to buy radio stations in America,
and it was something of a surprise to see the Bill drafted as
it was.
727. I am sorry to push you on this. There is
a real danger here that you could be accused of trying to play
both ends against the middle. That is to say, yes, you are attracted
to the idea of an American company coming in, which could have
the effect of pushing your share price up or indeed your sale
price up, but if the price of achieving that is the UK holding
out for reciprocity, then that presents a problem. Where does
schedule value lie in this? Does it only lie in the ability to
enlarge the potential investment put into UK radio?
(Mr Bernard) I do not think that is necessarily the
case. What we are talking about is radio in the UK requiring investment.
It requires a lot of investment at the moment, because it is fighting
almost single-handedly the battle for digital radio, it is fighting
almost single-handedly as far as the world is concerned. If we
had the opportunity to have investment from America to support
our efforts in digital radio in particular, that would serve the
shareholders' interests, but it would also servevery much
solisteners' interests.
728. Does it not smack of a banana republic?
(Mr Bernard) I do not think that is so. Why would
that smack of a banana republic?
(Mr Mansfield) The opportunity already exists for
companies outside the EU to invest in digital radiothe
rules are different, as you know, for digital and analogue radiobut
so far there is no evidence of anyone doing it.
729. My question is about access to radio. The
Community Media Association have told us that they "have
found no evidence from other countries that allowing community
media organisations to access advertising and local sponsorship
has had any detrimental effect on local commercial media companies
and it may have the opposite effect in bringing new smaller enterprises
into the broadcasting advertising market". Is there any firm
foundation for the view that commercial funding of a distinct
community sector will undermine commercial radio?
(Mr Carnegy) We do not take that view.
What is different potentially about the UK marketI am not
sure what are the markets you are referring tois that we
already have a pretty thriving community radio sector within the
commercial radio umbrella. I own a radio station where the entry-point
advertising deal costs £50 a week. I do not think there are
many stations like that in some of the more free-market markets
elsewhere in the world that perhaps we are comparing with. There
are radio stations, under the current licensing regime, which
serve universities, relatively small ethnic groups, serve very
small populations. I ran the radio station for Shaftesbury in
Dorset, population 8,000, the hinterland a bit bigger than that.
So we already have a good chunk of community radio in the current
setup. I think that is the important thing, and that is potentially
what makes us different. I think we share as an Association, with
the Radio Authority, a little bit of mystification that more community
groups have not applied for the small licences that have been
made available over the last ten years. What we are most concerned
about is that there may be out there a bunch of people who do
not want to deliver the stable audience delivery promise that
you have to conjure at the moment to win a licence, but do want
to take public subsidy to come in and distort the small local
market already in. I hope that is not the case.
730. What would you do about that?
(Mr Carnegy) I would say that access radio is potentially
a great new tier, but it should be defined as that which cannot
be supported under the current system. There is a little nugget
in the old legislation that says that on day one you have to effectively
prove that you can support your service for the full licence term,
and that has obstructed the Radio Authority broadly from licensing
some community groups who otherwise would be looked at. If maybe
that will change in the legislation, that might help. Given a
sufficiently clear definition, the kind of community public service
radio stations which would not be supported under any fully commercial
model, then why not create a new publicly funded access radio
731. You opened with a blunt statement about
discrimination in the radio industry and nowhere are your comments
in evidence stronger than on the subject of radio ownership, yet
the Government has stated that its proposals for radio ownership
"broadly follow the proposals made by yourselves and the
Radio Authority". All the evidence that we have received
from you is that you are critical of the proposals. Have your
views changed or has the Government simply got it wrong and misread
your proposals?
(Mr Mansfield) I think our views have changed. Those
views were formulated in discussion with the Radio Authority around
a year ago and at that time we did not anticipate the amount of
consolidation that was likely to be permitted under the draft
Bill, and I think principally that is the difference between where
we were and where we are today. The CRCA were, in fact, invited
along with everybody else when the draft consultation document
was published, and we at that time submitted another proposal
saying that we felt that, in the light of the way the market had
moved on, the ownership rules in radio ought to be further relaxed
but that was not taken into account in the draft Bill. We think
really that, if you go through what is being proposed, radio looks
like the last area which is going to enjoywhich is the
wrong wordquite a lot of microscopic regulation, and our
view really going forward is that, if we are going to have a healthy
and vibrant commercial radio industry, something we have enjoyed
for the last decade, radio consolidation ought to be allowed in
line with other media. For us it seems strange that ITV and Channel
5, for example, could become one company and yet within a local
area we need three different owners. So we believe that diversity
can be met by format regulation, which is proposed and which we
support; diversity is not in our view to do with ownership, although
often under common ownership diversity increases. If you take
Capital's position in London, we own three radio stationsXFM,
Capital Gold, and capital FMand we quite deliberately make
sure that those audiences do not really exchange listening and
we have an interest in doing that. So we think diversity can be
managed by format control, and common ownership is a positive
not a negative, and we support the suggestion in the draft Bill
that having separate ownership for TV and local press and local
radio to ensure a plurality of voices within a local market place
is good and we have a mechanic for that which we would happily
put in writing to you tomorrow as our suggestion as to how that
situation might be managed. Thirdly, the competition authority
is there. We welcome the fact that OFCOM will have competition
powers because it will enable it to take an overview, and we think
if you take those three thingsie format control, separate
ownership of strong local media across media in competitionthere
is absolutely no need to have three separate owners of local radio
stations within any market place.
732. It is very interesting that you started
by saying you have changed your view because of consolidation,
so that this is an area where perhaps we particularly need to
come back and look again at drafting and so on and have discussion.
In your evidence you, Capital Radio, are very firm that you believe
that radio ownership, like television, should be governed by competition
law coupled with a content-based licensing system and local cross
media ownership rules rather than sector specific over regulation.
It is illogical to argue that the ownership of such a powerful
media asset as ITV can be decided by competition law but that
the control of much smaller local radio stations requires prescriptive
regulation, and you go on to elaborate. So this is the area where
you really do see a need for some change because of a change that
has happened in the whole structure of the industry, is it?
(Mr Mansfield) Absolutely. It is very important.
(Lord Eatwell) I think the other point is that the
proposal for the three local media voices across media, when combined
with the requirement of three radio owners, will create some extraordinary
anomalies. We have charted a number of anomalies which we are
very happy to put before you. The two do not fit together in a
way which achieves the goals which the Bill would seem to want
to achieve.
Lord Crickhowell: I think this is such an important
point that it would be very helpful to have a specific piece of
evidence perhaps identifying the key areas that have changed and
the points you are making picked out from the much wider evidence.
It seems to me you have made quite an important statement.
733. I have a question the Committee would like
me to put to you but, firstly, I think I really should address
the Bill team, because on the face of this Bill, and correct me
if I am wrong, in the cross-media ownership clauses that we have
seen there is nothing, unlike the TV industry, that gives effect
to the policy and the document nor to the statements such as the
three local voices, reference to which was made by the Secretary
of State in an announcement. I find it such a huge omission I
wonder, firstly, why these cross-media rules of radio are not
on the face of the Bill and, secondly, having seen just that very
broad power by the Secretary of State to impose requirements,
I find that such a broad power that it may possibly be open to
challenge in the future because, as the argument changes, it may
open the door to certain companies challenging in the courts that
orders may be oppressive and not what Parliament intended when
it originally discussed the primary legislation. So I think there
is a big black hole on radio ownership and I would be grateful
if you would explain why it is not in there.
(Mr Brand) Certainly. You are quite right, there is
an order in the Bill which does not specify three local voices
or anything else. It was the intention to set it out in the policy
document. It was a deliberate intention to withhold it simply
because it is very likely that these will change at some point
in the future. OFCOM will have a duty to review this every three
years and we felt we needed the flexibility to change the scheme
if necessary. I think it is also a technical question; what is
a potentially technical difficult complex scheme, if you had it
set out on the face of the legislation, any change would have
to be made on the primary legislation, and we did not think it
was practical.
734. I find that odd given that there are rules
relating to other media. I am sure with the policy in its present
form, the radio owners will be delighted that they are not in
there but, whilst hopeful for relaxation in the future, it still
leaves you with absolutely no certainty of what is going to be
decided in the future.
(Mr Brand) I appreciate this is not agreed but it
was a scheme which is very complicated in detail, and that would
be in the mechanic, and that can still be adjusted in the future.
It is a complicated scheme so there needs to be clarity about
how it would operate and there clearly would have to be a draft
order in Parliament so people could see what the intention was.
735. I have a supplementary to that. I am very
glad, Mr Mansfield, that you said that you are happy to put in
a memorandum regarding cross-media ownership because I think it
is recognised that most MPs are at the sharp end of this; in my
area the only effective competition to my local newspaper group
is radio, and unfortunately the independent section news is not
as strong as it is on the BBC, but nonetheless we would not like
to see further concentration in local media ownership for obvious
reasons so
(Mr Carnegy) Could I come in on that point? I think
we understand the plurality issue that lies behind this, but the
mechanism does not deliver plurality. Under the current system
there is nothing to stop your local radio station outsourcing
its news from an agency which happens to be shared with a newspaper.
Within the content regulation that can deliver the plurality,
and keeping radio companies weaker than other media entities does
not help.
736. Before David decapitates me I will move
on to my next question! If your wishes were met and precise rules
related to single medium ownership were not imposed on radio but
instead OFCOM had a power to judge each individual situation against
plurality issues and diversity issues which were more subjective,
would that not lead to greater uncertainty for you?
(Mr Mansfield) We do not really want uncertaintyyou
are absolutely right. What we want to be able to do in running
our businesses is be able to predict as far as possible what is
possible; so we want to be able to anticipate the result of looking
to move forward in a world of future consolidation. We do not
want too much flexibility built into the system but what we intend
to suggest to you is that you can manage diversity by very tight
format control, and it is very tight format control. The Radio
Authority do an excellent job in managing format control, and
we are not suggesting that OFCOM should not do that. Having separate
owners within local media I think provides the plurality of voices
and then you have a fallback, particularly as far as the advertiser
is concerned and the local advertiser, competition powers which
would stop abuse
737. This may be something you want to cover
a bit more when you send us an explanation of how you see this
working as distinct from what is previously put forward by the
Radio Authority, but I just want to be clear of the essential
principle of what you are saying. Diversity is governed by format
controls. Plurality is the issue governed by ownership controls,
and you do not want to arrive at a situation where there are no
ownership controls but on the basis of three media voices. Are
you talking about three media voices other than the BBC in any
(Mr Mansfield) Yes.
738. Why is it that you seem to be thinking
in terms of no cross-media ownership? If there happen to be three
local newspapers in a particular city, why not have cross-media
ownership between newspapers and radio? The issue is three distinct
voices, not trying to have, as it were, a newspaper voice, a television
voice and a radio voice, am I right?
(Mr Mansfield) What we are saying is that plurality
should be delivered by having a strong local newspaper, a strong
local regional television operator and a strong local radio station.
We are saying that those three media could not come under common
ownership because then plurality would be threatened.
739. But the very nature of this Bill is trying
to deal with converged markets and, in a locality, television
and radio and newspapers are a converged market, particularly
where news is concerned. Very often news gathering can operate
between those markets. So is it not better to deal with three
distinct media voices, not trying to pin them down to radio, television
and newspapers rather than, say, to try and manage each local
market and say we have to have a television voice, a radio voice,
etc, as if they were three distinct and separate beasts?
(Mr Mansfield) That is a good point; it may be too
prescriptive, as you say. The important issue here is maintaining
plurality and making sure that those broadcasters, particularly
in radio and television, are governed by rules regarding impartialitywhich
both of us are. We are absolutely strictly controlled and if we
step outside that particular area then the regulator comes down
on us, and the proposals in the Bill are that that should continue.
(Mr Carnegy) The policy document also makes it clear
that the view of the legislators at this stage is that, because
regional TV and regional/local newspapers are the two most important
regional media at city level, therefore at 220.127.116.11 there is already
a rule stopping local ITV owning the local paper, so to an extent
some of that cross-media plurality is already delivered by that
other rule.
740. Do the Bill team want to clarify anything
in addition to that?
(Mr Brand) No, thank you.
741. You have made very good points indeed,
and maybe the whole thing was done on Friday afternoon but, in
writing to us, because I am genuinely lost by your reciprocity
argument, could you clarify all of that, and please write with
a unified voice as opposed to separate entities on all issues?
(Lord Eatwell) Yes. We will provide a response on
behalf of the Commercial Radio Companies Association.
Chairman: Thank you.

A long time ago, I loved to write.
As a child and teen, I had no outlet except for the blank page, and I filled many hundreds of pages with scribblings. Letters. A story now and again. Pain. Trauma. Loneliness. Desperation. Longing.
For a period of time, every single day, I wrote
God, give me patience!
in big letters on every single page, many times on each page.
I also wrote it in small letters, backhand letters, right slant letters, drunk-like scribbles, chicken scratch, beautiful swirly letters, block letters, angry letters, desperate letters. Broken letters.
I was going through some of the most difficult days I'd ever had.
God, grant me the serenity….
Ah, serenity. I could use some of that.
To accept the things I cannot change….
To accept… everything?
Courage to change the things I can….
Is there really anything I can change?
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Is there a difference?
When I got to be about 17 years old, my life was a mess. I don't remember much from that time, except that I delivered newspapers twice a week and I made my first attempt at writing, editing and publishing. Those things were the…. happy times.
There were dark times. Many, many dark times. Times when I was paralyzed by fear. Anxiety rolled me up into a little ball and I'd spend most of my time curled up on the floor behind my bed or just laying on my bed, thinking. Depression gripped me. The two — anxiety and depression — gathered me up in their icy fingers and pulled me behind a translucent curtain that allowed me to see only grey shadows of all the wonderful things everybody else was experiencing while the voices of desperation and panic and fear eerily whispered in my ear.
That was then.
I didn't know how bad it could get.
As days turned to weeks and weeks into years, experience piled on top of experience. Pain upon pain. Sadness upon pain and worry and loneliness. Desperation on top of sadness and depression on top of disappointment.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
Every hope was deferred.
Tears upon tears, wounds wound with bandages that served only to keep the pain in and the outside out.
A decade turned into two.
Heart-sick and broken.
Words came no more.
What had once been delightful ideas, hopeful thoughts and beautiful pictures turned into two word sentences, repeated over and over again.
Help me.
Help me, in backhand. Help me! in curly-qs and swirly letters. Help me! in desperation, in brokenness, in pain. Help me! because there were no other words that my brain could put together.
Hope deferred.
It makes the heart sick.
It makes the mind sick.
It makes the body sick.
I have a mental illness.
Looking at my history, it makes sense that I would.
My other grandma was crazy enough that I was scared of her.Childhood trauma often leads to mental illness of one kind or another.
And, of course, hope deferred makes the heart sick.
Five years ago, I had it all together. I worked. I paid my bills. I budgeted and paid off thousands in loans. I went to church. I was involved in ministry at church. I sang, I prayed, I served, I loved.
And then my world collapsed.
When my world collapsed, my already fragile psyche teetered one more time before one by one, the support beams came crashing down.
I was so "down" that I was down and out.
I was down in the dumps and out of commission.
But I tried. Oh, how I tried.
I did well enough that only two people suspected that something was off. One was a man I knew very briefly and the other was my best friend. The man was the first one to confront me. He told me to go get help. I saw a psychologist who referred me to a medical doctor for a prescription.
I was terrified to take it. Because demons. Because spiritual sickness. Because it was all my fault. Because addiction? Because unknowns.
The day I filled the prescription, I prayed that it would work. I took the first capsule, drifted off to sleep and the next morning, I woke up and noticed that the sun was shining and the fact that the sun was shining made me happy.
I couldn't remember the last time something actually made me happy.
I lay in bed for several minutes with a goofy grin on my face, then I got up and went about my day like being happy and having a peaceful mind were something I did every day.
It worked for a while.
Then stress. Then desperation. Then pain.
Everything I had experienced before was magnified by 10.
Then more stress. More pain. More unknowns.
(Another magnification by 10)
Medication change, additional medication, an as needed medication added.
Every change helped — for a while. But eventually, I'd revert back to where I had been before. Many times, I'd hit an uncontrollable downward spiral.
That is where I am right now.
I had the most recent medication change in April, and by August, it isn't working so well anymore.
True, I can at least put words together again. That's a comfort. It means that in some ways I'm better.
But- the sadness and fear linger.
I worry.
I worry that no man will ever want to love me.
Should I even entertain the idea of hoping for romance?
I worry that something will happen at work and I won't know what to do.
Should I even be a nurse at all?
I worry that I won't be able to pay my bills.
I should never have bought a house.
I worry that if by some fluke I get married and get pregnant, I'll go off the deep end.
Maybe I could just give up that idea.
I worry that people will hate me because I'm scared.
Is isolation a better choice?
I worry that my car will break down, my food will make me sick, I won't be able to afford lunch, my doctor won't know how to help me, pastors might exploit my willing and generous spirit. I worry about the kids I love, about bird flu and cancer and the possibility of having a horrendous winter.
Oh, how I worry.
This is my life. This is what mental illness is like. It's hard. It's awful. It's terrifying.
The past few days, I've been thinking specifically about romance and babies and laughter and happiness.
It all seems so elusive to me.
It's really not fair to ask a man to love me. Not with all the cray-cray in my brain.
It's not fair to ask him to choose between living with an unstable and moody woman for 9-10 months while she gestates a baby or giving up the possibility of having biological children. How would you even make that decision?
It wouldn't be fair to the child if I were to take medication while pregnant — because birth defects.
Who would even want to love somebody like that????
I stewed over this for a couple of days. I thought about possibilities for alternative treatments. I thought about lots of things. I studied gene mutations to see if maybe that could be "it."
Because I want to be better.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a peaceful mind!
After work today, I sat down to read a few scriptures before going on to the next task. I thought about all the things I've looked into and all the problems and issues I have and how happiness is so far out of my league. I thought about a lot of things.
And then I felt the Holy Spirit whisper to me….
But you try.
I do.
You know what it is and you are learning what your triggers are.
I hope so!
You are always trying to find answers and you're willing to do whatever it talks to get better.
Yes! I don't want to be another version of the other grandma!
You aren't simply giving in to it like so many others do.
Gosh, I hope not!
It's ok.
Oh, how I hope so!
Grace covers even this.

Dehydrating common baking potatoes can serve as a basis for ecology-friendly and creative jewelry. Potatoes are a suitable craft material for both children and adults, because they are entirely non-toxic and inexpensive. For impatient artists, the drying process of the beads can be accelerated with a food dehydrator.
Forming the Beads
Carefully wash and peel a baking potato. Using a sharp knife, carve the potato into the desired shapes for the final bead product. Take into account that the dehydration process will cause the pieces of potato to shrink significantly. Plan on having each piece be approximately 35 to 45 percent bigger than the desired final product. Experiment with applying texture to the beads by lightly poking with a fork or carving designs with a knife. Place each potato piece on a toothpick to maintain a hole during the drying process,
Drying the Beads
Place each toothpick on a finely meshed baking rack. It is important that the potatoes have adequate airflow during the drying process, as a significant amount of water is released and could lead to decay if not properly elevated. Allow the baking rack to rest in a warm, dry place for approximately one week or until the beads are fully dehydrated. Turn each toothpick once or twice a day to ensure even drying on all sides.
Sealing the Beads
Sealing the beads with acrylic paint ensures longevity and durability of the final product. Assemble paint brushes and acrylic paint in desired colors to create the final effect. It is important to ensure an effective seal by painting at least two coats on every surface of each bead and allowing the paint to dry fully between coats. Using sponges to apply different colors of paint in layers can create a textured effect that mimics turquoise or granite.
Creating Jewelry
Once the beads have been fully sealed, experiment with final appearances by applying permanent glitter sprays or acrylic varnishes. The resulting potato beads can be strung on necklaces, bracelets or earrings like any other bead. Try creating jewelry that combines the potato beads with wooden, glass or stone beads for a varied effect. Potato beads are significantly lighter than their glass or stone counterparts, making them a suitable material for large necklaces and earrings.

I'm happy to announce that I have not gained any of my weight back! You noticed that I didn't say that I've lost a considerable amount of weight since my last post, to which some would say is a disappointment. Yet, from my perspective, I can honestly say this "plateau" is a great achievement and blessing. If you've read some of my earlier posts, you'll know that ALL of my significant weight loss successes in my life have been followed by me gaining back all of the weight PLUS MORE. This time was different. I have kept off all of the weight and I've actually lost a bit more since my last Weekly Weigh In.
I'm excited to be re-launching the blog today and I hope to be making significant progress, both in health and consistently recording it here. Tomorrow I will be revealing my current weight and how close I am to my overall goal. Thanks so much for reading!

3. It's Guilty of False Advertising
Mostly in the same way that Baja Beach Bums was (I already linked to that post earlier).
Don't be fooled by the poster or the title of the movie. There is some nudity, there is some sex, but it's probably not what you're expecting. Really. This isn't a terribly sexy movie.
Is this movie about lap dances, or is it a movie about manufactured drama and a couple with loose morals?
"No, it's a story about a girl that strips out of desperation to save her dad", I hear you saying. Well that should be the title of the film then.

Weekend Away With Yo! Kulele
Yo! Kulele Weekend In York.
A mixed bunch of like minded Yo! Kulele-ites from all over the country came together in York, one of Britain's most enchanting cities, to improve their playing, make new friends and generally have a good time!
We were lucky enough to be staying at the York Racecourse Centre. The friendly staff looked after us incredibly well and Brian the chef even went to the trouble of decorating our cakes with individual ukuleles.
What did we cover?
- Basic principles of ukulele playing and tips to help you improve your playing.
- Playing chords effectively.
- Playing in time and together with others.
- Rhythm, finger picking and strumming patterns.
- Soloing and improvisation using pentatonic scales.
- A look at playing techniques in particular styles e.g. Rock, Blues, Flamenco and Jazz.
- Playing in different keys and transposing between them.
- How to work out and master the chords for particular tunes or songs.
- Playing in different time signatures.
- Work out a piece to play within a small group and perform it.
The weekend was very hands on, with lots of playing and opportunities to jam with other like-minded players.
Pete Mitchell our expert ukulele tutor took us through different strumming techniques, finger picking and melodies with his friendly, but thorough approach to teaching. With more than twenty years' experience as a pro and semi-pro musician, he has been teaching for over fifteen years. Pete inspired us with a wide variety of music styles ranging from Rock, Blues and Folk, to Pop, Rockabilly and Swing. As well as doing recording sessions, Pete has played pubs, clubs, hotels, theatres, weddings, parties, holiday camps, ships and even prisons!
One of the great things following on from weekend is that several of us within a reasonable travelling distance from each other are planning to continue to meet up and play together on a regular basis.
This is what some of our guests had to say:
'Thanks for getting this all together, had a great time and learnt a lot too. Will definitely come again thanks, it was a great weekend!' Annie
'Just a quick note to thank you for a really enjoyable weekend. I learned a lot and my head was spinning slightly but there is a lot to practice in the song book and the course notes. Pete is a great teacher and if I lived closer I would take some lessons from him, but five hours is bit too far! The food was excellent too - often vegetarians just get a baked potato or an omelette - compliments to the chef. I'll keep an eye on your website and please keep sending the newsletters.' Graham
'Smashing venue, very nice company, expert tuition and really good fun. Looking forward to the next one.' Alan
'A great weekend. Fantastic tutor who makes you feel confident and a supportive environment to learn in. Recommended!' Emma
Look out for news of our next Yo! Kulele weekend away next year. We are planning a variety of workshops and organised strum alongs with some exciting visitors. Watch this space 🙂

A surprisingly low-rise concept for the new National Advertising Industry Park to the south of Beijing's Central Business District has taken first place in an international competition for the scheme. The design - composed by the architecture office of Atkins in Beijing with assistance from Atkins' urban planning and landscape teams - presents a series of more than thirty buildings in a mile-long stretch of brownfield land next to the Tonghui River.
This type of development is rare in a city such as Beijing. As the city's position on the architectural and economic markets has risen, so has the height of its towers; it's CBD now a forest of eye-wateringly tall structures. It comes as a surprise then that this latest urban development boasts only a handful of high-rise buildings; a single tall tower to the east with a large rooftop display screen for advertising and a pair of towering structures to the west as a gateway to the National Advertising Industry Park.
Atkin's approach is explained by the team's Senior Design Director, Peter Ridley, who details: "This was a high profile and hard fought competition and our success was due to a design that was focused on the needs of end users, some of China's most creative companies. We prioritised elements that worked on a human scale, creating a streetscape feel that make areas such as Soho in London so attractive."
Taking priority in the design is a range of shorter buildings, with a central avenue lined with three- to five-storey volumes anchored with retail space opening out onto the streetscape. One of the 'defining features', this main street is part of a pedestrian zone and public square which provide access to public features such as a new museum and conference centre, and offers a social space for the Park's users.
Ridley concludes: "We have to thank our clients, Nonmofang County together with Huahan Investment Group, for backing this project as it will be groundbreaking in the Chinese market. The district will have a unique identity and we hope the lively and inspiring spirit of the design will assist those working and visiting area."

Quick Critique: Kubo and the Two Strings
(Originally published 13 September 2016)
Kubo (Art Parkinson) is a young boy who lives in a mountain cave with his ill mother (Charlize Theron). He routinely goes down to a local village to create stories by magically controlling origami figures using his shamisen. He must always returning home before dark, as him and his mother are in hiding from his grandfather the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) and his evil aunts (Rooney Mara). However, Kubo accidentally breaks this curfew, informing his aunts of his location. After barely escaping them, he journeys with a monkey totem that was magically brought to life and a man cursed to be a beetle (Matthew McConaughey) in order to find mystical items that will help defeat his aunts and grandfather.

Quick Critique: Nerve
(Originally published 19 August 2016)
One of the leading semi-trends in Hollywood's endless crusade to appeal to young morons is this kind of 'technophobic' subgenre. Modernising these usual horror and thriller tropes and attributing them to the tech-savvy social media generation. And mostly they suck, probably because they're written who have no understanding of how the internet and teenagers coalesce. Continue reading "Quick Critique: Nerve"

New Release: Lorde - Green Light
Green Light - Lorde |
Well, I have been gearing up, all day, to review Barei's "I Don't Need To Be You" music video for my New Release blog post; instead, I am reviewing Lorde's "Green Light", because Barei's music video has been exclusively released on Vevo, and not YouTube - not yet anyway. So, instead, here is Lorde who wants the green light, and we're so ready for her to have it. Such a catchy song, that deserves to be an international hit, regardless of the surprisingly mean comments on the video. Watch Lorde fill this song with such a passionate emotional performance, it's clear "Green Light" is close to her heart.
Lorde, real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor, became a global superstar overnight with her debut single "Royals". Just as she started to disappear from the world, lasting as a one-hit wonder, she's returned with "Green Light", which is a complete hit and deserves to chart all over the world. The song is about all the silly little things you gravitate towards when your life changes. This is the girl who is dancing wildly in a club crying about her ex, the one we all think is a mess but she will get a hold on her life tomorrow. That is what Lorde said in an interview on Beats 1 interview with Zane Lowe. The song was written by Ella Yelich-O'Connor, Jack Antonoff, and Joel Little.
Directed by Grant Singer, this music video is a pure performance visual. Lorde is giving off a bunch of emotional vibes and lashes out with her stage presence.
The opening scene sees her in a bathroom, singing to her reflection - imagining it's her ex she's singing to. Scenes follow that show her in a club, exiting the club, getting into a Chevrolet car, that we could presume is a taxi. Then the bridge of the song happens, and she hangs out the window, feeling the air whipping by.
The chorus kicks in and she's on top of the car, dancing on the roof. As the next verse kicks in, we watch her walking the streets, she puts in her earphones and starts to dance like no one is watching, dancing to a beat all to herself. The video is not at all polished, it is a mess, but it's a well shot, erratic mess that we can't help but love. Lorde pulls it off perfectly.
This song and music video is for all the girls (and guys) who look a mess, crying over their ex's in clubs. This one is for them, the one clubs should play to give them life, to add a bit of sass to their clubbing experience. We've all been there and, hell, we all need it. Nice one Lorde, a brilliant single and music video, that deserves global recognition.
