During malt whisky production, when the barley is being floor-malted (to allow the natural starches to convert to sugar) the barley (or 'piece' as it's known) must be turned regularly to ensure heat and carbon dioxide are dissipated, but also to prevent the germinating barley from 'matting' its roots. Some places do the turning by machine, but a few undertake it by hand, with a malt shovel. This is wonderful to watch, the rhythmic shovel-lift-toss-shovel-lift-toss as the barley flies across the room, all the time ensuring even distribution. The noise is hypnotic, but the smell – that's a deep earthy rich unforgettable tang. I spent my childhood playing in a distillery, and the smell more than anything else has stayed with me.
'Truth is the first casualty of war'.
So the saying goes.
It's always been that way.
Leading up to and then during the first world war citizens were fed a series of lies, usually centred around atrocities committed by the 'enemy' as governments prepared to unleash hell on the world:
As one British general pointed out after the war: "to make armies go on killing one another it is necessary to invent lies about the enemy". These atrocity stories were then fed to newspapers who were quite willing to publish them. British newspapers accused German soldiers of a series of crimes including: gouging out the eyes of civilians, cutting off the hands of teenage boys, raping and sexually mutilating women, giving children hand grenades to play with, bayoneting babies and the crucifixion of captured soldiers. Wythe Williams, who worked for the New York Times, investigated some of these stories and reported "that none of the rumours of wanton killings and torture could be verified."
The outcome of all this lying was that after the war citizens became more savvy, less trusting of overt propaganda. Newspapers were weary of the most extreme propaganda that didn't come with evidence and when TV came into popular existence broadcasters signed up to the principle that their reporting should be impartial. The public developed a false sense of comfort that it was harder for people to lie to us and get away with it.
Along came the internet and with a it a massive proliferation in both the amount of material published and also who could do the publishing. The internet is a propagandists paradise:
Here's what I mean:
A week ago a friend shared a video by The Syria Campaign on his Facebook page. The video starts with the words:
'What you are about to see is shocking. This happened this week in Syria'
The film shows a boy being shot, then heroically getting up and rescuing a girl, whilst still being shot at. You can see it here.
The Syria Campaign's version of this film has been shared several hundred times and has over 10000 views. The original version of the film, which was not made by The Syria Campaign, was first posted to Youtube and had over 4.1 million views. The film has been shared widely by newspaper websites (Daily Mail, Telegraph, Independent) who in the first instance showed no interest in verifying whether the video was real. The Telegraph embedded the film and included this commentary
The Telegraph cannot independently verify the footage but it is thought the incident took place in Yabroud – a town near the Lebanese border which was the last stronghold of the moderate Free Syrian Army. Experts tell the paper they have no reason to doubt its authenticity.
At the end of the film The Syria Campaign asked us to share the story and sign a petition. This was my response to them on November 11th
Oh come on the video you just released is fake @TheSyriaCmpgn https://t.co/p8QZIWyyzT You're just eroding trust with propaganda.
— duckrabbit (@duckrabbitblog) November 11, 2014
Apart from the too clear sound, the obvious special effects and the movie staging, you don't fall forwards like you're in a Hollywood movie when shot, then get up unbloodied and keep walking. Despite this three days later the BBC was reporting that the film might well be legitimate.
In an interview Amira Galal from BBC monitoring Middle East said "we can definitely say it is Syria and we can definitely say that it's probably on the regime frontlines, was almost certainly shot on the front lines in Syria…I think it would be very difficult to give a definitive opinion about whether it's fake or not."
Ten hours later the BBC put out another story stating that the film was indeed a fake, made by Lars Klevberg, a 34 year-old film director based in Oslo. He says he deliberately presented the film as reality in order to generate a discussion about children in conflict zones:
"We shot it in Malta in May this year on a set that was used for other famous movies like Troy and Gladiator," Klevberg said. "The little boy and girl are professional actors from Malta. The voices in the background are Syrian refugees living in Malta … By publishing a clip that could appear to be authentic we hoped to take advantage of a tool that's often used in war; make a video that claims to be real. We wanted to see if the film would get attention and spur debate, first and foremost about children and war. We also wanted to see how the media would respond to such a video."
Pretty soon afterwards the story that the film is fake became the most shared article on the BBC website. In a further twist the Youtube channel (Shaam News Network) on which the video went viral has been suspended.
What interests me most is when and how some NGO campaigns reached the point where they are willing to trick people in order to get them to sign a petition/get behind a cause?
What is the validity of a petition signed by people under false pretences?
Surely The Syria Campaign not only loses any moral authority it might have gained through its important work but also torpedoes their own objectives by seeking signatures this way?
The Syria Campaign gave me this response before the video was outed as fake:
'As far as we're concerned, the video depicts experiences that are real. Though the video hasn't yet been verified, we know incidents like this occur every day.'
In other words kids are getting shot in Syria so what difference does it make if this is fake but it makes you think about all the awful things that are going on over there?
The Syria Campaign continues to share the video, despite protests such as this.
This strategy of bending the truth to fit your cause is well trod. Afterall it's what we often do when we debate a subject. I would go as far as to say not only is it acceptable, to a greater or lesser extent, but it's expected.
Here are a few extreme examples:
Several years ago a well respected advocacy organisation put out a video of a woman (shot in shadow) calling for the Syrian soldiers to put down their weapons. The video appeared embedded on a UK newspapers website, with the accompanying text that the film was the direct plea of a Syrian mother and was shot inside Syria.
Infact the video was shot in London; a second woman's voice with a more authentic accent was dubbed over the original woman's voice and the script was not written by a Syrian mother but an American living in Beirut. Pure propaganda. At roughly the same time this video was released the founder of the advocacy group gave a high profile interview in which he stated they were playing a 'verification' role for citizen media coming out of Syria.
Recently Oxfam ran an online ebola campaign on Facebook using a picture of an MSF medical worker, taken in one of their clinics, helping a child:
The backlash in the comments was swift and severe.
Oxfam realised their mistake, put out a sincere statement apologising and eventually took down the offending post.
I appreciated Oxfam's response and it made me have more respect for them. It wasn't the first time something similar has happened though. A few years back Save The Children ran a print advert calling for donations that featured a picture of a half dead child being cared for in a an MSF hospital in Dadaab, Kenya. Had they published the picture in the same way on their Facebook page I suspect they would have faced a similar backlash.
(Please note duckrabbit have worked for and trained the staff of both Oxfam and MSF. I've witnessed the terrific work they both do on the ground. A donation to either of them is well spent)
Another large charity recently ran a fundraising campaign which showed a successful generic African woman whose family they claimed they had helped climb out of poverty. It was a conceptually interesting TV advert but it wasn't a winner as a fundraiser. So when the same woman appeared in online advertising we were asked to give money to help bring her and her family out of poverty. The same ethnic woman was presented to audiences in diametrically opposite ways to try and have the same impact, raise more money.
Maybe we should be forgiving of charities, PR and advertising agencies, advocacy organisations and journalists who fake (or twist) stories to get our attention. Do audiences really care? Doesn't the end justify the means? This is certainly how some people responded to the suggestion that it was wrong to fake the Syrian boy hero. Maybe they are right. If the Oxfam post raised much needed cash for the fight against ebola isn't that a good thing?
But I think it's also true you are less likely to change your point of view if you feel the person trying to persuade you is in some way deceiving you. There's a failure in communication if we are talking about whether a video is fake as opposed to the suffering of the people in Syria or the 1800 kids that are not actors who have been shot dead during the war.
And one question leads to another. If you are really helping people; if your cause is just; if you want an honest relationship with me, why do you feel the need to make stuff up?
One possible reason that NGO's pump out so much overt marketing propaganda is because there is more of a budget for spin then authentic storytelling.
In NGOS often the marketing and fundraising departments have more money and power than the communications teams. They are judged on short term goals that largely revolve around growth of revenue and brand reach. The pressure is immense. People's jobs are dependent on them bringing the cash in. Very few of these people will have ever lived or worked in the places the charities are set up to benefit. This is even more true in the agencies that they contract who belong to the Band Aid school of advertising:
Make shit up (There is no peace and joy in west Africa this Christmas). Put a famous face (or 30) to it , and screw the unintended consequences (we maintain a colonial relationship with black people who live in poverty).
The better communications departments in charities are themselves masters in spin because newspapers and broadcasters are so susceptible to it. If you want to get the media's attention just make up a figure about how many kids might be catching ebola a week by Christmas. The higher the number the better, even if it's based on tenuous research.
I don't blame them. It's a game and if you pay me I too will play it to win. But not by faking it. And not because it can't be justified, but because I'm not cynical. The charities we work with have a very positive impact on the lives of the people they serve. The sector as a whole just needs to invest in better ways to tell those stories of change.
Want to see your pictures in print?
GREAT! - because duckrabbit is toying with the idea of running a photo competition and to print the winning images online and in a magazine, with a small prize for the best one. Before we launch it though we thought we'd run the concept past you for some informed feedback.
So here's the deal: you send in your pictures (and you'll need to include a 70-word story about each individual picture too.)
We will not pay you a fee if your image and words are published, but it is a fantastic opportunity to see your photographs in print!
We take your pictures and in return you grant us non-exclusive rights to do what we want with them, including commercial use, and you agree that the provision by us of the opportunity for you to give them to us is sufficient reward.
Yes that's right, our generous gesture of providing a facility for you to give your work to us is your reward!
We thought you'd like that gesture.
Now if we think that none of the pictures are REALLY good, we wont award that prize we mentioned earlier, but we'll still keep your images and the rights we previously described, and publish them anyway, so you still get to see them in print or online. Good eh! I know, it's a pretty wizard wheeze. Almost, dare I say it…philanthropic!
Now, as we only want non-exclusive rights you can still use your pictures yourself, but you will have to agree that we may sell them to others as we see fit, and you've also got to agree that you will not use your pictures in any way that conflicts with our use (which might be commercial). So……you might find that if you DO actually use them in the same specific market as we do, and we deem it to "impair" our use, that such use will be considered to be a breach of our agreement and you might be liable to….er…maybe compensate us, but we're not sure so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Oh and we also reserve the right to change the Terms & Conditions too, if we want to, so don't get too hung up on them just now because they might be different next week, but you'll still be bound by them – you've got to agree to that too.
We know, we know, it's a lot to take in, but that's ok this legal malarkey is complicated so don't worry too much just remember the bottom line is that you might get to see your pictures in print – and how cool is that!
Now, does that sound like a good deal or what! We think it's totally genius. We get a stack of pictures. You get the warm glow of satisfaction from seeing your pictures in our website and magazine. And we get lots of opportunities to use them in any other ways we want, including selling them to others. And if there's any problems you might even get to pick up the tab for our legal defence. Yay. We love it!
But (aye, we know, there's always a but!) we must confess, we didn't come up with this idea ourselves. We've copied it.
From the BBC.
Well from their BBC Wildlife magazine and website publishers The Immediate Media Co. who are licensed by the BBC to do all this stuff on their behalf, apparently.
So that's ok then isn't it?
Here's the real deal:
Here's a link to the competition rules (link), and this is the specific 'no prize' bit:
18. The promoter reserves the right to withhold prizes if, in the opinion of the judges, the quality of entries falls below the standard required.
So you could in effect enter with the understanding that a prize is on offer. But if its decided nothing is good enough to warrant actually handing it over, it wont be. But they still keep your work (and publish it). Hmmm.
Now what do you think the BBC 's responsibilities actually are with regard to their dealings with their 'customers'? Here's their Code of Conduct specifically covering competitions:
So, as they say themselves:
When the public engages with us through interactivity they will be treated with respect, honesty and fairness. We will handle all interactive competitions and votes with rigorous care and integrity.
BBC competitions and votes will not be run in order to make a profit. The only time BBC competitions or votes will be aimed at raising funds will be for a BBC charitable initiative."
Does taking (some of) the intellectual property rights in images (which then become a commercial asset of a BBC licensed company, and can be sold for profit, in return for a prize that may be withheld) breach these guidelines? Duckrabbit is not a solicitor so we have no idea. But you don't need to be legally trained to comprehend the morally dubious nature of this 'transaction'.
The Immediate Media Co. is licensed by the BBC to undertake all this on their behalf, and here's their T&C's regarding what they want (and a quote of our favourite section):
"……and in consideration of us making available to you the opportunity to upload any user Contribution (which you acknowledge as a sufficient benefit to you), you irrevocably and unconditionally grant us free of charge a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence of the entire right, title and interest in and to such user Contribution….."
Yes you read that correctly: "in consideration of us making available to you the opportunity to upload any user Contribution (which you acknowledge as a sufficient benefit to you)" .
We're perhaps incredibly dim and missing something fundamental here: but in what conceivable way is a benefit obtained by giving something away and receiving nothing in return?
Now consider for a moment Section 14 above: are you wondering what might constitute an action on your behalf that could conceivably "interfere with or impair" Immediate's rights that you have so generously granted them?
Well, how about you offering your work for payment (or even for free!) to a third party, a party to whom Immediate also want to sell your work? Yep that would probably do it. (But remember duckrabbit is no legal genius so this is only our face-value interpretation and opinion.)
Note in Section 13 above the word "commercialise" – which implies they will sell, and so it follows that anything that you do with your work which conflicts with their attempt to make money from your work is probably a conflict.
So what might happen if you did sell to a competitor and it all went pear-shaped some time later when the competitor finds out that Immediate were also using the image in a way that conflicts with their use (we've seen this happen) and decided to sue Immediate (or even you, although you did not know that Immediate were going to use it when you sold the-right-to-use in good faith to the third party)?
Ah don't worry, Immediate have covered themselves on that score too:
Simple interpretation: you pick up the tab.
Oh and they have a Privacy Policy too. Here's what the actual competition T&C's says:
Now you might imagine that the word 'Privacy' in 'Privacy Policy' er….suggests that you might expect….some….privacy perhaps?
Well sorry to get your hopes up. The Immediate T&C's are rather less concerned with your privacy. In fact you have very little it seems:
Yep they even want the rights to your name, biographical details and everything else AND in fact any information that they retain about you is "considered non-confidential".
There's a bit of confusion evident in all of this though.
The 'Your Photos Terms & Conditions' for the competition (here) makes no mention of the potentially more draconian Immediate Media Co. Terms and Conditions (which are here). But the page on which the Your Photos competition T&C's are written has at page bottom (here) a link directly to the Immediate Co's T&C's page which makes it quite clear that anything submitted through their site is subject to the far more comprehensive terms hidden in the background. Which set of T&C's take precedence is anyone's guess. And by using their service you agree that the T&C's may be amended whenever Immediate wish, and you'll be bound by the changes, but if its the 'hidden' terms only that are amended, how will that affect users if the more visible terms on the competition page are not amended?
Do you think they are unaware of the implications for users of all this?
Nah – they actually use the word "exploitation" and make a clear distinction between "exploitation" and "use" in their terms (see (g) below) so that's pretty definitive.
But of course we might be totally misunderstanding the intent of all of this, in which case we'd be delighted to be corrected.
As the BBC guidelines note:
BBC competitions and votes will not be run in order to make a profit. The only time BBC competitions or votes will be aimed at raising funds will be for a BBC charitable initiative.
Will The Immediate Media Co make any money from all of this, from "exploiting" user submissions for "commercial" gain as their T&C's state it is within their rights to do? We have no idea, but if they do, maybe, just maybe they are making a generous donation of all the proceeds to Children in Need, and are getting the same warm comforting glow as the rest of us?
Anyone know?
I first met Rhonda Wilson a few days after one of Rhubarb Rhubarb's (the photo development company she set up and ran with Lorna) yearly portfolio reviews. Every year they opened their doors for interested people to come down and look at the work on review (and meet the photogs).
I rarely go to private views/meet the photog events because I find them quite intimidating. There can be more ego than art on show (or fists if Anastasia Taylor Lind is about) and you get a better chance to look at the work when everyone around you is not looking at everyone else wondering if they are worth talking to.
For once I made the effort and I'm glad I did.
A few days later I emailed Rhonda (who I'd never spoken to) to say I liked a lot of the work but why was the room exclusively full of white people? We live in Birmingham, afterall, one of the most multi-cultural cities on the planet. I expected the usual guff but instead Rhonda replied that she thought it was shit (the lack of diversity in the photography world) and would I come and meet her and the rest of the Rhubarb crew?
We hit if off, but then you would have to make a real effort to not hit it off with Rhonda. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious. She had crazy dreams and many of them, by the force of her nature, came true.
In the early days of the company we did quite a bit of work together. I always felt that not only did she appreciate what we were trying to do at duckrabbit but she also had our back. She supported us. That meant a lot.
This evening it's with sadness that I read Rhonda has died.
That double take moment. Fuck. Really? Yes.
I would like to think that when I die I will have done more good than harm. I don't think I'm there yet but I can look to Rhonda for inspiration. She gave so much to so many for so long. She may not have been a great photographer but she was one of photography's greats; she was great for photography. An egalitarian eye open to all.
God bless you Rhonda. You were art and the best of you lives on in all whom you encouraged.
I like Autumn. Sometimes it is a slow slide into Winter, with Summer hanging onto Autumn's heels keeping it mild despite the evening frosts. Other times Autumn has barely begun when an impatient Winter sends freezing blasts to rattle the branches and swirl leaf blizzards all around, with snow on the high tops, and sometimes down to lower levels too. Autumn, it would be fair to say has 'character' in the north.
So here are few images from a couple of different Autumns, from the mild and inviting, to the harsh and snow-blasted. Some are simple images, other maybe a little more complex, but all are pretty much straight from the camera. There is no Photoshop trickery other than curves and levels, contrast and cropping. The 'movement' in images is a result of either keeping the camera stationery and allowing details in the landscape to move – trees in wind, water running, clouds passing or alternatively the camera being moved as the shutter button is pressed, and sometimes a combination of both to see what the result might be and whether it reveals anything more of the complex character of this season. Sometimes this experimentation works, sometimes not, but it's always good fun to try and all part of the continual learning curve.
Autumn is also the red deer rut, and the tail end of the stag hunting season and the start of the hind season, so I've put in some deer pictures. The deep reverberating roar of rutting stags is a very evocative sound in the Highland glens during the autumn, and on a dimming evening as the mist slides in, can be profoundly eerie, and once heard will never be forgotten.
I posted some b&w pictures from my recent short Italy wander. Here are some in colour. In no order really.

My father hunted elk for nearly 30 years from the early 60s into the 90's. He filled a lot of tags with 150 grain soft points in both 7 mm rem mag and 300 Wby mag.
I'm getting a lot of good information here. Thanks.
Anybody have much experience with the 154 or 162gr Hornady Spire points?
My last 3 shots on elk were with Nosler Accubonds. Out of those 3 the Accubonds performed perfectly. I can HIGHLY recommend them. In 7mm diameter I'd recommend the 160 gr.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Excellent caliber but Sierra Gamekings not for elk. I load Gamekings in 243,270 & 30-06 for deer & they perform perfectly, but you need something that does not open up as quickly & will break bone better. My choice would be Nosler Partitions or one of the Barnes solid copper rounds.
Good luck.

I had a pleasant stay at the Pavillon Henri IV. The hotel is really nice and its highlight is definitely the view. My room was large, a bit quaint and could use a renovation: The carpet was starting to show its age, paint on the windows was starting to peel off, etc. Nothing really bad but the contrast with the...

5 out of 10 | Audra stayed May 05, 2013
"Poor version of Canadinns"
"I only checked in for one night so did not have an opportunity to use most of the amenities offered. My review is based solely on front counter service and rooms. We booked 4 rooms for volleyball girls and parents and 2 parents booked their own rooms. 4 of the girls were put in a room with one bed and were told to use the pull out couch. after a long hard day of sports, a lumpy pull out bed before another long hard day is not an option. I however was given a room with 2 double beds and I was one parent who had booked her room separately. Why they would do this - no idea but they made to attempt to fix it so we did - we switched rooms. They we let the front desk know and they made a big stink about fire regulations, etc. Sorry but maybe if you had made it right in the first place... Also, the rooms are VERY old and dated - yucky for a Canadinns. Look under the beds (we always check for critters) and the mattress lining are torn and hanging. Just not a great hotel, especially for what they charge."

July 17, 2009
Plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against Sarah Palin want a judge to declare that the Alaska governor broke state law when she failed to issue a proclamation for a 2007 celebration commemorating the freeing of U.S. slaves.
Plaintiff Gregory Charles Royal, a Washington, D.C., musician, says plaintiffs also seek a retroactive proclamation for the 2007 Juneteenth celebration from Palin or -- with her July 26 resignation pending -- from the governor's office.
A motion for a default judgment filed Friday says Palin failed to answer the allegations by the June 19 deadline.
Margaret Paton-Walsh, an assistant attorney general, says no deadline was missed because the plaintiffs did not properly serve all the correct state entities initially.
The Alaska Legislature had passed a measure that directs the governor to issue a proclamation to commemorate the day.

The Bogle Chardonnay 2011 is layered flavor upon flavor, creating an easy-to-enjoy wine with generous character. Using the techniques of barrel fermentation, sur-lie aging and partial malolactic fermentation, winemakers have made a delicous wine. Winemaking at Bogle Vineyards is both seen as an art and a science. Bogle winemakers have again hand-crafted a perfectly balanced, yet complex Chardonnay.
The Bogle Chardonnay 2011 has generous aromas of fruit and toasty oak entice the senses as you first encounter this Chardonnay. Green apples and juicy pears give way to elegant hints of lemon meringue, and finish ripe and refreshing on the palate. Created by aging on the lees, the rich and velvety mouthfeel adds complexity to the fruit, allowing the flavors to sink softly into toasty notes of American oak. The finish, lingering and graceful, is coupled by a mouthwatering acidity that creates a longing for just one more sip….
Enjoy this wine with just about everything!
Vintage: 2011
Appellation: California
Vineyard Source: Clarksburg & Monterey
Fermentation: 50% new American Oak and sur-lie aging
Harvest Dates: September 1 – October 26, 2011
Barrel Program: 9 months in new American oak
Release Date: May, 2012
Wine pH: 3.48
Wine Acidity: 0.66g/100ml
Alcohol: 13.5%
There is a story everywhere, and there is indeed a story behind the foil pheasant icon now perched subtly atop Bogle's labels. When Warren Bogle and his son Chris first decided to bottle the family's wine, they wanted a label that artistically depicted the unique river region where the vines were planted.
Living on Bogle's River Ranch was a multi-talented artist named Paul Lorenzi. Warren and Chris asked Paul to create a sketch of the vines. Sitting down one evening, with his glass of wine in hand, Paul began his sketch, when suddenly a gorgeous male ring necked pheasant came into view and settled among the vines. Paul captured the bird as he gracefully arced over the vines. Thus the label with the bird was born.
Merritt Island, where Bogle is located, has always been a heaven for amazing wildlife. The ring-necked pheasant, though elusive to the quest, is a common resident on the island. In retrospect, the pheasant is a very appropriate symbol for Bogle, and staff and family alike hold the pheasant in high regard.
Over the years, the single solitary bird from the original label became a pair of birds, the colorful male and the more subtle female. The bird evolved, from large, colorful artistic renditions, to emblematic outlines, to the noble gold-foiled logo that you see today.

Today an oak sapling is planted in St Stephen's churchyard to celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee. This is part of a nationwide project by the Woodland Trust. Rhiannon Bates of the Trust explains the background to the scheme.
Royalty is once again coming to the village of Ambridge, with residents choosing to plant a Royal Oak sapling, mirroring the actions of people across the UK this February to mark 60 years since Queen Elizabeth came to the throne.
Her Majesty The Queen is the only British monarch other than Queen Victoria to celebrate a diamond jubilee. By planting a tree grown from an acorn gathered from a royal estate, the village will have a lasting, living memento of this historic occasion which will also benefit wildlife for years to come.
The Royal Oak sapling is part of the Jubilee Woods Project, which aims to plant 6 million new native trees throughout the UK. The Ambridge sapling will be one of the first to be recorded in a new online Royal Record of Tree Planting. This book will record all celebratory Jubilee trees planted in 2012. Bound copies will be gifted to the Queen and the British Library at the end of the project, as a lasting record for future generations.
The average oak lives to be about 1,000 years old. This tiny sapling could live to see 14 generations of Ambridge residents!

Netcars.com is a highly resourceful sight for car buyers and sellers. I can easily navigate the site to find the information I need. I haven't used the site to personally buy or sell a car, but it would be the site I would use if I was going to buy or sell one.
What I love is that Netcars.com has a flat fee of £10 with no time limits. From what I see, the process of selling a car is very straight-forward and easy to do.

Exciting young stars Ravel Morrison and Andros Townsend should ignore the hype and work hard - Joe Cole
Published: 17 October 2013
Updated: 12:52, 17 October 2013
Ravel Morrison and Andros Townsend are just getting used to life in the limelight but dealing with hype as a young player is something Joe Cole knows all about.
Cole was earmarked as a star for both West Ham and England after bursting on to the scene at the age of just 17.
Now 31, the midfielder is watching with interest as the latest generation of talent make its mark under the added weight of expectation that goes with being a young English player.
Morrison grabbed the attention with an eye-catching display at Tottenham that included a wonderful solo goal in West Ham's 3-0 away win 11 days ago. The 20-year-old continued that sparkling form on his England Under-21 debut against San Marino last week and in his two-goal performance against Lithuania on Tuesday — although that display was marred by a clash with team-mate Wilfried Zaha.
Townsend, meanwhile, took centre stage by scoring on his England debut in the win over Montenegro last week and he was also key in the win over Poland as England booked their place at the World Cup.
Yesterday, Townsend, 22, admitted that when he stepped out to face Poland he had to forget all of the fuss generated by his debut.
Cole knows just how important that is. "All the adulation and all of the critique, the good and the bad, it doesn't matter when you go out there and play," said Cole, who made his West Ham debut coming off the bench against Swansea in the FA Cup. "I soon realised that all of the other stuff around football is all cobwebs.
Advice: Joe Cole learned not to get carried away by the plaudits "Everything else and everyone else's opinion doesn't really matter, that is the best thing you can learn as a young player. You just have to go out there and do your best. You are going to go through stages where everything you do is brilliant and you will go through stages where everything is a crisis. It is about keeping level headed, keeping away from thinking 'boom or bust' and just working hard."
Cole may not have fully realised all of his early potential but, with three Premier League titles, three FA Cups and 56 England caps, he is well placed to advise.
"You have to learn to deal with the pressure to perform and the expectations as soon as possible because that doesn't ever go away. But you are not a great player one minute and a terrible one the next."
Cole has already had a word with Morrison and says the West Ham midfielder is not the type to get carried away. Morrison's attitude was questioned during his time at Manchester United but any off-field troubles now appear to be behind him. The spat with Zaha in Tuesday's game — the two had to be pulled apart by team-mate Nathan Redmond — has led to questions about his temperament but Cole believes in the player.
"A lot has been written about him but he is a very level-headed lad," said Cole. "He had a reputation but, from my dealings with him, he is a nice person and wants to be part of the team. He is a nice lad, a good kid and a special player.
"He can go on to achieve what he wants to achieve and he is certainly at the best club for him to do that. I speak to him on occasions and he knows if he ever wants any advice he only has to ask me.
"But he will chose his own path and he doesn't need me to help him. He just needs to keep doing what he is doing and not buy into all the fuss, because he is a super-talented player. If he wants to be the next Paul Scholes or whoever, he can do it because he has got the ability. I do not see any faults in his game."
Praise indeed from Cole, who was the most hyped of a West Ham generation that included Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick. His first manager at Upton Park, Harry Redknapp, spoke about Cole in glowing terms before he made it into the first team but the current boss, Sam Allardyce, is taking a more reserved approach with Morrison.
Allardyce had planned to ease him into the side gently but his performances this season mean he is almost certain to start against Manchester City on Saturday.
Morrison is clearly benefiting from last season's loan spell in the Championship with Birmingham. The same can be said for Spurs winger Townsend, who went on loan to nine different clubs before breaking through at White Hart Lane.
"Ravel developed at Birmingham and has had a great start since coming into the Premier League," said Cole, who returned after six weeks out with a hamstring injury at Tottenham and is pushing for a start against City.
"He has had a nice steady upwards curve. Andros Townsend has learned the game on loan and has got it all in front of him now. He has been managed well and could be a big star. They both could be."
Joe Cole is a player patron for West Ham United Community Sports Trust

Dair fans, it's time to rejoice and give thanks. Blair's step-dad Cyrus has used his lawyer smarts to find a possible loophole in Blair's pre-nup to Louis. If Blair's able to get out of her marriage then she'll be able to get into bed with Dan. Win-win. Hopefully if these two start dating she can finally convince him to cut his hair. Win-win-win.

David Hinchliffe - Director of Coaching
This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Wilson. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.
The winning question was,
"I want to know when to bowl variations during an over."
This is a guest article from Matt Thompson, Cricket Performance Director at Cardiff Metropolitan University. For more of Matt's work, find him on twitter and read his blog.
Picture the scene. It's time for training. You, as a batsman, have your regular opportunity for a constructive practice session with your coach or fellow team mates. Before you put your pads on, consider what does constructive actually mean? What does it look like for you?
Too many times at club, academy and university level, "constructive" takes the form of the batsman playing a glorious array of inappropriate shots without a game context in mind, inevitably squandering their wicket on a host of occasions.
I would be lying if I said I've never had one of these before myself as a player!
That is not constructive. So what is? Following on from David's article on having clear goals at open nets, here is one example of what "constructive" looks like.
Welcome to the PV/VIDEO Digest, your highlights summary of the weeks best videos from PitchVision Interactive

The headlines are often grabbed by bowler's with great variations, yet it's easy to get confused about when to best use the variations you have, be they bouncer, yorker, arm ball or googly. Mark Garaway, Sam Lavery and David Hinchliffe discuss the details of this on the show.
Plus, there are discussions on "playing blind", dealing with recurring injury and if there is an off position on the genius switch.

The next element in our guide to recognising and developing mental toughness in our players relates to "Critical Moment Control" (CMC).
What is CMC? It's often described by the quote "heart in the oven and head in the fridge".
Players high in CMC always make the right judgements under pressure. Not only do they make the right decisions, they also follow through and deliver the goods: Clear mind, clear thinking, and unwavering execution.
These players control the situation with a strong mind: The situation does not control them. They show skilful thinking, skilful risk taking, and skilful execution. Each one is a great player to have around when it comes to finishing games off.
Coach Gary Palmer wants to know your opinion on how to train playing the short ball.
Are we pushing the boundaries of safety?
It's time to stop inexperienced and underage people feeding short pitched deliveries on bowling machines.
How do you train when the coach or captain says "do what you like, just get something meaningful done"?
Modern coaches are all about giving players freedom to train. This means you need to be self-reliant as a player and work out your own training, even at group sessions. Yet often I see players given freedom and unsure what to do with it. They end up with a half-hearted warm up and getting a few throw downs under the guise of "getting my eye in".
We can do better than that.
So, the next time you have to direct your own training, if there is a coach there or not, here is what to do.
Last week I introduced the 4 elements that define mental toughness. Today we move on to understanding and developing "Inner Drive".
Players scoring high on inner drive are completely self-motivated individuals in any given situation.
We know the importance of targets in winning games of cricket these days. Breaking things down to make them feel easier is a proven step to success. So, what are some good targets to set for teams?
I'd like to get your feedback on what you feel has worked for you in the past, so please leave a comment below. Here are some of may favourite targets and some of the pitfalls of relying too much on them.
What do you if you are desperate to get into professional cricket but also need an education?
That's the dilemma of millions of young cricketers around the world, especially if you are from India, where the pressure from parents to get a trade as an engineer or business manager are as strong as the passion for the game. It's a regular question sent in here to PitchVision Academy; how do I choose?
What if you didn't have to choose at at all?

Adio interview for Czech radio on
"I regret it, but perhaps it will make me stronger,"
says Petra Kvitova after her loss in Wimbledon
Perceiving of progress in game
"I wouldn't say it in the current state of mind, but when I look back at it after a few weeks I will have to acknowledge that it is my best grand slam tournament this year. I defended last year's quarter final so you can find something positive about it. There was a advance in game, even the head worked well in last matches. It hold me on in today's and yesterday's match, even if happened what happened. I think that some elements like the serve or the base line play weren't completely bad thought. I mean it could be better but it wasn't bad."
And how will the program of the best tennis player of The Czech Republic look?
"I will rest for a while. And then we will start to work on fitness with Kristian (Bajza), after that we will start to play tennis with David (Kotyza) so I could be ready for America which will start in Carlsbad. I will be remembering last year a lot when I was doing so well. I hope that I will bring it to the this year's tournaments. We all know that it's not perfect for me there, but I proved last year that it is possible to play there," Petra Kvitova adds.
