"Urgent Action Required, Reclaim the lost potential of our young people!
Drug's are an escape from the reality of life. Some teenagers have allot to escape from, such as domestic violence, poverty, psychological and sexual abuse. Some may come from a wealthy background however that does not guarantee happiness and the availability of funds can make the choice to try drugs easier.
As I see it there needs to be more effort to engage young people in community based activities outside of school. We talk about social inclusion for vulnerable people but society has a tendency to exclude young people and even vilify them. There needs to be an action plan for every young person designed to foster and develop interpersonal skills and a sense of purpose and self worth. We need to embrace our young people in every aspect of our society as they are our future and preparing them to lead this country into the future is paramount.
With the obesity epidemic firmly gripping this country there needs to be dynamic moves to tackle this problem. I believe that this could be achieved by investing in free sporting activities for all children under the age of sixteen and discounted facilities for young adults under 21. Every one active should be free for children this would encourage these activities to become autonomous lifestyle choices and connect children and young people with health advise they might otherwise bypass.
It is only by engaging and embracing our youth at all levels from birth to 21 that we will enable a u-turn in the drift and loss of the potential of our future. This process has begun by the better integration of children's services however the shift needs to be far more dynamic and swift.""

Sadie and the Hotheads blog
- Date: Friday, 04 October 2013
- Views: 1353
Wow, it's been a busy few weeks. Don't know how I ever had time to go to work! It's almost a month ago already and I'm just finding the time to sit down and write this. The trip to Sweden began on the evening of Wednesday 4th September when we gathered in the grimy rehearsal room at Survival Studios in Acton Town. Rotten carpets, microphones that smell of beer, faulty channels on the pa, machine coffee, indie rock and Sadie. As well as running the set, which now includes a couple more songs from the first album, this evening's get together gave us all a chance to digest the marvelous book compiled by Shelley Hasseldine. Bound in leather and titled 'Sadie and the Hotheads, From The Beginning', the compilation of thoughts, dreams, observations, quotations, photos, facts and figures, is a labour of love which took Shelley eight months to complete. The research and presentation are phenomenal and we turned the pages in wonder. Thank you Shelley for your time and dedication, it was inspiring and energizing to see our history laid out before us and we'll be bringing the book to the Hippodrome gigs in November for those who would like a peek…
And so, to September 6th. Autumn closing in. A dark, 5.15am start, leaving sleeping families, riding the rails from all corners of the capital (and beyond) to Gatwick. Rattling through South London, a few zombies on the whistle past platforms and a scattering of thoughtful souls en route to who knows where. 6.50am. Gatwick. The minutes tick by as the airport comes to life, filling up with early travelers. By 9am we're boarded and ready for take-off on Norwegian Airlines, bound for Stockholm. England is shrouded in mist and it's raining for the first time in a long time…. flying east, there are storm clouds on the horizon, while here, up above the clouds, the sun is shining…
11.40am and we're over the west coast of the Kingdom of Sweden, third largest country in the EU by area, with a low population density concentrated mostly in the south. Since 1814, Sweden has been at peace, practicing "non-participation in military alliances during peacetime and neutrality during wartime". In 2013, 'The Economist' declared the Nordic countries to be "probably the best governed in the world" with Sweden in first place…. 50 minutes from touchdown, looking down on lakes and forest… later, after checking in at the Hotel Rica on Kungsgaten we walk over to Nalen for load in and soundcheck… the staff are fantastic, the backstage hospitality marvelous and the gig a resounding success…. it was great to perform 'Mama's Hands' and 'I Miss You' for the first time….
On Saturday 7th we took the 10.21am train from Stockholm to Malmo. Four and half hours of blue sky, farmland, more lakes and forests. The landscape is largely deserted with about 85% of the population living in urban areas…. after hot chocolate and a cinnamon bun in the bistro car we pull into Malmo… the commercial centre of southern Sweden with 300,000 residents from around 170 different nationalities. The city is part of the expanding Oresund region and is joined to Copenhagen in Denmark by the magnificent Oresund bridge. Tonight's gig is at the unique Victoria Theatre. Over 100 years old, this old silent movie theatre houses 'picnic' concerts and events where the audience bring their own food and drink. We are arriving at these gigs with little idea of what to expect and loved this from the moment we entered the building. Stepping out on the stage and gazing out at the candle-lit audience was thrilling and magical. This was Sadie's perfect venue and, thanks to the people of Malmo a very special, two encore, evening…
Sunday 8th, after a lie-in and late breakfast, we catch the 12.02 train to Gothenburg. The weather still good as we roll north… Gothenburg, home of Volvo and the second largest city in Sweden, is currently making a name for itself as a new hive of the creative arts. With its homegrown fashion labels and upstart indie bands, its rollicking craft beer bars and alternative arts scene, Gothenburg is also the fitting host to Scandinavia's leading film festival and hugely popular music festivals, including Summerburst and Way Out West (maybe next summer?!)…. after a quick check-in at the hotel it's over to the legendary Nefertiti Jazz Club for the final gig of our short visit. All the gigs are different and tonight's dimly lit basement, cramped stage and up-close audience creates its own special atmosphere… a more subdued but highly enjoyable end to the mini-tour… Monday 9th. After a stroll around the lovely lanes and avenues of the city we head out to the airport for the return flight to Gatwick… can't wait till next time. Thank you Sweden.

Publisher: SRS Internet Publishing/Digital Vintage Pulps | Date published: 05/01/2011
A murder mystery story, plotted around the characters and situations found in a lawyer's office, is being planned by a lively young couple. Then a murder is committed and fiction becomes grim fact. Jane and Dagobert, who proves to be engagingly uninhibited in his methods of detection, soon find a real baffler on their hands. And the deeper they probe into the affairs of the office staff, the more complex, sordid, and exciting the case becomes.
About Vintage Paperback Pulp Fiction:
A new revolution was underway at the start of the 1940s in America--a paperback revolution that would change the way publishers would produce and distribute books and the reading public would consume them. In 1939 a new publishing company--Pocket Books--stormed onto the scene with the publication of its first paperbound book. Unlike hardback books, these pulp paperbacks were available in drugstores, newsstands, bus and train stations, and cigar shops. The American public could not get enough of them. The popular pulp genres reflected the tastes of Americans during the 1930s and 1940s--mysteries, thrillers, and "hardboiled detective" stories were all the rage.
In the early 1950s new pulp fiction sub-genres emerged--science fiction, lesbian fiction, juvenile delinquent and sleaze, for instance--that would tantalize readers with gritty, realistic and lurid stories never seen before. Publishers had come to realize that sex sells. In a competitive frenzy for readers, they turned to alluring covers that often featured a sexy woman in some form of undress, along with a suggestive tag line that promised sex and violence within. To this day, the pulp cover art of these vintage paperback books are just as sought after as the books themselves were sixty years ago.
We are excited to make these wonderful pulp fiction stories available in ebook format to new generations of readers, as a new revolution--the ebook revolution--is in full swing. We hope you will enjoy this nostalgic look back at a period in American history when dames were dangerous, tough-guys were deadly and dolls were downright delicious.

Any Dream's Lewis Fills in for Lee Mead in Joseph
Editorial Staff • West End • 10 Jan 2008
Bradley's first fortnight stint commences next Monday 14 January 2008 and continues until 26 January. He's then on again from 10 to 15 March and 5 to 10 May 2008. Further ahead, Mead is also on holiday from 28 July to 5 August 2008, but a replacement for those dates has yet to be confirmed.
Bradley isn't the only other Any Dream Will Do finalist to enjoy their own time in the limelight. In the West End, Ben James-Ellis has been Whatsonstage.com Award-nominated for his role as Link Larkin in this year's Broadway transfer of Hairspray and Daniel Boys last month joined the cast of Avenue Q. In addition, both Craig Chalmers and Chris Barton are currently starring in the tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, playing Joseph and youngest brother Benjamin, respectively.
In addition to Bradley's stint, Jenna Lee James has taken over as the Narrator from Preeya Kalidas, another Whatsonstage.com Award nominee. James does not perform Wednesday matinees, when the role of the Narrator is taken by Fiona Reyes.
Joseph started life in 1968 as a 20-minute entertainment for an end-of-term school concert. By the time it received its Broadway premiere in 1982, it had been expanded into a full two-hour show. With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, Joseph's popular score includes the songs "Any Dream Will Do", "Close Every Door to Me", "Go, Go, Go Joseph", "Those Canaan Days", "Benjamin Calypso" and "One More Angel in Heaven".
The new staging of the record-breaking 1990s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the London Palladium, which was directed by the late Steven Pimlott, is designed by Mark Thompson and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The musical opened on 17 July 2007 (previews from 6 July) at the Adelphi, where it's currently booking through to 18 October 2008.
In addition to Mead's nomination for Best Actor in a Musical and Kalidas' for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is in the running in this year's Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical (Dean Collinson as Pharaoh) and Best Musical Revival (click here to vote!).
