The Passing Bells
powerful five-part drama for
BBC ONE set in the First World War
The Passing Bells is a powerful five-part drama for BBC One, which sees the
conflict of the First World War unfold through the eyes
of two very ordinary young men. Written by Tony Jordan
(Hustle, Life on Mars), the series has been commissioned
as part of the BBC's programming to mark the Centenary
of WWI.
Paddy Gibson (What Richard Did) and Jack Lowden (The
Tunnel, Wolf Hall) star as Thomas and Michael, two young
men for whom the war has little mercy, no matter which
side they might be fighting for. Over five chronological
years The Passing Bells follows their lives, as they
grow up, lose friends and find love amid the horrors of
the war. Back home, their families and loved ones
anxiously await news from the front.
Gibson and Lowden, who this year won an Olivier Award
and the Ian Charleson Award for Ghosts, are supported by
a host of upcoming talent including Charles Furness,
Brian Fletcher, Wilf Scolding, Hubert Burton, Felix
Auer, Ben McGregor, Mark Burghagen and Matthew Aubrey.
The Passing Bells is a five x 30-minute co-production from
Jordan's independent production company Red Planet
Pictures and Apple Film Production through BBC Cymru
Wales Drama.
The executive producers are Tony Jordan and Belinda
Campbell for Red Planet Pictures, Dariusz Jablonski for
Apple Film Production and Bethan Jones for the BBC. The
producer is Nick Pitt and Brendan Maher will direct.
The Passing Bells was commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller BBC
Drama, and Danny Cohen, Former Controller BBC
Partners in Crime
Coming soon to BBC ONE
BBC One brings Endor Productions and Acorn Productions'
Agatha Christie's married couple Tommy and Tuppence to
life in a brand-new six-part adventure series for the
channel. Partners In Crime stars David Walliams (Little
Britain, Big School) as Tommy and Jessica Raine (Call
The Midwife, Wolf Hall) as Tuppence.
Directed by Edward Hall (Restless, Downton Abbey),
episodes 1-3, 'The Secret Adversary', are written by
award-winning author, playwright and director Zinnie
Harris, (Spooks, Born With Two Mothers, Richard Is My
Boyfriend) with the following three, 'N or M?' penned by
Claire Wilson, (Where There Is Darkness, Twist).
Partners In Crime is produced by Georgina Lowe, (Mr
Turner, Mad Dogs), executive produced by Emmy
award-winning Hilary Bevan Jones (Roald Dahl's Esio
Trot, State Of Play), David Walliams, Hilary Strong
(Poirot, Have I Got News For You) and Mathew Prichard
for Acorn Productions/Agatha Christie Ltd and Matthew
Read for the BBC.
Partners In Crime is an adventure series with espionage
and humour at its heart. Set in a 1950s Britain rising
from the ashes of the Blitz into the grip of a new Cold
War, our beekeeping duo stumble into a world of murder,
undercover agents and cold war conspiracy.
Tuppence is a woman who sees adventure round every
corner, throwing herself head first into every mystery
with passion and fervour, determined to get to the truth
no matter what it takes, much to the dismay of her more
cautious husband Tommy.
Hilary Bevan Jones, executive producer and founder of
Endor Productions says, "To introduce the iconic
Christie characters Tommy and Tuppence and their
adventures to a whole new generation, is a fabulous
opportunity for all of us at Endor. Our incredible
creative team of David Walliams, Zinnie Harris and
Claire Wilson are crafting a drama that promises to be
exciting, fun and fresh. With the inspirational Edward
Hall directing the whole series, and Georgina Lowe
producing, we have a clarity and cohesiveness of
ambition that promises only the best."
David Walliams explains, "In bringing these thrilling
stories to the screen, it is our ambition for Tommy and
Tuppence to finally take their rightful place alongside
Poirot and Marple as iconic Agatha Christie characters.
I was first drawn to the delicious notion of a married
couple solving crimes together, and the more I read of
the Tommy and Tuppence novels and short stories, the
more I realised they are among Christie's very best
Hilary Strong, Managing Director, Acorn Productions
says, "We are excited to be working with the BBC and
Endor to bring Agatha Christie to a whole new generation
of viewers as we continue to build the Christie brand
worldwide. Partners In Crime is the first of two major
new dramas for 2015, the second of which is a new
production of And Then There Were None, one of
Christie's most popular novels of all time. I am
delighted that our partnership with the BBC will play a
central part in our 125th anniversary celebrations next
Mathew Prichard, Chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd says,
"The first Tommy and Tuppence novel was published in
1922 and my grandmother, Agatha Christie, would be
thrilled to see her crime-fighting team reinvigorated
for the BBC over 90 years on from when she first brought
them to life."
Ben Stephenson Controller of Drama Commissioning adds,
"This new and exciting partnership between David and
Jessica promises to bring a fresh new take on these
classic and well-loved adventures. With their
combination of humour, wit and talent, I can't think of
two people better suited to take on the iconic roles of
Tommy and Tuppence."

About BBC Children in Need
BBC Children in Need makes a
pledge to the public that every
penny they donate or fundraise
for BBC Children in Need will be
used to help disadvantaged
children and young people across
the UK. That pledge is honoured
by awarding funding to projects
run by charities and community
groups who apply to BBC Children
in Need outlining their track
record and how their specific
project will make a real
After each Appeal, BBC Children
in Need knows how much it has
raised and so can set a budget
of how much it will have to
award. BBC Children in Need is
open all year for applications
and so spreads the budget across
the period to give organisations
a fair chance of getting
funding. Money is awarded a few
weeks after each Appeal and
after just over a year all of
the budget is committed to
specific projects.
Many of the projects supported
run for three years and BBC
Children in Need do not think it
appropriate to simply give a
lump sum at the start of the
period. BBC Children in Need
releases funding on a quarterly
basis and asks the organisation
to give clear evidence that the
project is running successfully
each year. This process coupled
with BBC Children in Need's
rigorous approach to assessment,
safeguards the money that the
public has raised and ensures
that it has the maximum impact
on young lives.
The generosity of the public
over recent years means that BBC
Children in Need has been able
to award more funding than ever
before. BBC Children in Need is
currently supporting over 2,500
projects to a total grant value
of over £110 million and its
investments are held so that
they can meet their commitments
to those organisations as they
fall due.

The Nation's Favourite Queen
Saturday 8th
November - Friday 14th November
The Nation's Favourite Queen
Song uncovers the origins of
their best-loved tunes and tells
the stories behind the band's
bold and inventive music videos.
Featuring interviews with
celebrity fans and Queen friends
including Katy Perry, Tony
Hadley, Mel C, Tony Iommi (Black
Sabbath), Al Murray, Noddy
Holder, Dame Zandra Rhodes,
McFly's Tom Fletcher, and Arlene
Phillips, this 90 minute special
counts down Britain's 20
favourite Queen songs.
As rock's ultimate showmen, the
band formed an irresistible
combination with Brian May on
guitar, Roger Taylor on drums,
John Deacon on bass and Freddie
Mercury commanding audiences up
front. The programme features
brand new interviews with band
members Brian and Roger, plus
archive interviews with Freddie
The Nation's Favourite Queen
Song hears from Freddie
Mercury's friends and band
members about the singer's
decline in health towards the
end of his life.
When discussing their 1989 hit I
Want It All, Brian May says,
"The first time we played it
live was at the Freddie Mercury
Tribute Concert and I played it
with Tony Iommi and Roger
Daltrey. I just wish Freddie had
been there to enjoy it because
that song was made for him, he
would have made such a good job
of it live."
Arlene Phillips, a friend of
Freddie's, discusses the
poignancy of The Show Must Go
On, released six weeks before
Freddie's death in 1991. She
says, "My favourite song is The
Show Must Go On, because 'The
Show' means life. I think
because of what was happening to
Freddie, with all of that
knowledge there's an emotion in
it you can never take away."
Brian reveals what this song
meant to him saying, "I heard
the lyric 'My soul is painted
like the wings of butterflies'.
To me, it expressed all that I
felt about Freddie and that,
unbelievably, we might be losing
As well as memorable lyrics and
inimitable showmanship, Queen
were pioneers in creating
innovative music videos. On
filming the video to Bohemian
Rhapsody, Freddie said, "People
think we took hours and hours to
make that video, in fact it took
about four hours."
When discussing their video for
I Want To Break Free, which
featured the band in drag on a
Coronation Street-style set and
a surreal ballet sequence, Roger
Taylor says, "The English and
the Europeans absolutely loved
that video and all the dressing
up as women and everything. The
Americans absolutely hated it."
Brian May adds, "That's what
alienated us from a huge part of
America for the next few years
because they just couldn't deal
with us being in drag for no
apparent reason."
Queen not only had unique videos
and unforgettable melodies,
their songs had distinctive
lyrics. Discussing the lyrics to
Killer Queen, US superstar Katy
Perry says, "I was 15 and I
heard this song and my world
just kind of stopped and went
into slow motion, listening to
the lyrics. I just couldn't
believe that anyone could be so
magical with their words in that
Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet
similarly applauds Queen's
songwriting saying, "I can't
actually think of another band
that each member of the band
individually wrote top ten
songs. That's incredible."
On Freddie's performance-style,
former Spice Girl Mel C says he
is "the ultimate performer". In
an archive interview, Freddie
himself says, "I like to really
ham it up and perform a song. I
like to enjoy myself."
The countdown, narrated by Matt
Lucas, includes:
Under Pressure – two rock greats
came together as the band made a
duet with David Bowie, although
Brian May reveals there were
tensions behind the scenes
saying, "I think it was the only
time in Queen history where I've
bowed out."
These Are The Days of Our Lives
– the last video Freddie
recorded. Arlene Phillips says:
"It's the hardest video to
watch. I get emotional when I
see it or hear it."
I Want It All – Brian May
reveals the idea for the song
came from his wife Anita Dobson
saying 'I want it all and I want
it now!'
Radio Ga Ga – which the band
played at Live Aid and saw
72,000 people mirror Freddie's
'hand clapping' move from the
Another One Bites The Dust – the
song Michael Jackson convinced
the band to release as a single
The 20 classic Queen tracks
featured in the show have been
voted for by a representative
panel of ITV viewers from across
the country.
Puppy Love
BBC Four, starts in November
A new six-part
BBC Four comedy written by and
starring Joanna Scanlan and
Vicki Pepperdine, co-creators of
the BAFTA-nominated Getting On,
Puppy Love is a story of love,
dogs and the love of dogs.
A warm and energetic
character-based comedy about
owners' problems with their dogs
and dogs' problems with their
owners, Puppy Love is set around
a dog training class on the
Wirral, 'For All Your Dogging
Needs'. The indubitable Nana V
(Joanna Scanlan) runs it, and
West Kirby altruist Naomi Singh
(Vicki Pepperdine) starts
attending the puppy classes.
The series charts the
relationship between two very
different women as they navigate
their headstrong dogs,
impossible teenage kids and
preoccupied husbands.
Scanlan and Pepperdine develop
the blend of crafted writing and
improvisational techniques they
used in the award-winning
Getting On, in this warm and
witty new comedy, where a dog
features in every scene.
Rivalries flair in episode one
when Naomi Singh enrols unruly
Golden Retriever pup, Charlie
into Nana V's classes. There she
meets Labradoodle Toffee, who
embarrasses his owner Alexander
(Tobias Menzies) with the
unpalatable habit of coprophagia
(muck munching). Things take an
even more complicated turn when
Naomi's school-refusing teenage
daughter, Jasmine (Selina Borji)
meets Nana V's grandson Eron (Aron
Julius), when Naomi plays a
professional visit to Nana V's
rural mobile home in her
capacity as scourge-of-poverty
Nana's live-in ex-husband (her 'wasband')
Tony Fazackerley, played by
Simon Fisher-Becker (Getting On,
Doctor Who) is joined by Naomi's
husband, Ravi, played by Gordon
Warnecke (The Bill, My Beautiful
Sunetra Sarker from Casualty
A host of guest stars step in
across the series to play all
manner of Wirralites, including
Sunetra Sarker (Casualty),
currently starring in Strictly
Come Dancing, Kayvan Novak
(Sirens, Phonejacker, Four
Lions), Margi Clarke (Coronation
Street), John Henshaw (Born and
Bred, Cilla), Phil Cornwell
(Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa),
Mark Lewis-Jones (Stella, 55
Degrees North), Gerard McCarthy
(Hollyoaks, The Fall), Justin
Edwards (The Thick of It), Polly
Kemp (The Thick of It, Four
Weddings And A Funeral). Plus
Alvin Hall, the popular
financial advisor, author and
media figure takes on his first
acting role.
Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy
Commissioning at the BBC, said
of the series: "Joanna and Vicki
have once again used their
immense comedy talents to create
what is set to be one of this
winter's comedy gems. The hybrid
of professional actors, members
of the public and a four-legged
supporting cast, is a daunting
blend, yet makes Puppy Love all
the more of an authentic passion
Set to air in November 2014,
Puppy Love is a co-venture
between BBC Comedy North and
Woof Productions. It is
co-created and written by Joanna
Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine,
directed by Susan Tully (Getting
On, The Mill), produced by Jo
Willett (Birds Of A Feather) and
executive produced by Gareth
Edwards, Saurabh Kakkar and
David Baddiel.
talks about Puppy Love
Nana very definitely knows her own
mind but also has a certain
fragility about her, can you
tell us more about this
character and how you set about
creating her?
"We wanted to create a character
who has lost all faith in human
beings and has replaced it with
the unquestionable loyalty of a
dog. Against her better
judgement she bounces back time
and time again to care about all
the people around her."
In the opening episode of the
series, we meet No Name
(Millie), a 'dangerous' dog your
character rescues and comes to
adopt, what was it like to act
alongside your own dog?
"It was difficult to combine
being proud showbiz mum with
leading lady, I didn't know
whether to push the dog into the
limelight or elbow her into the
wings! It's a very special
feeling to have your co-star
stare deep into your eyes with
cupboard love."
Why did you choose to set the
series in The Wirral?
"We both have close family
connections to the Wirral. I was
born in West Kirby and visited
for many years when my
grandparents lived in Caldy.
"The 'insular peninsular' is a
wonderful combination of town
and country surrounded by the
most exciting maritime waters.
It's a place of harbour and
adventure, seemingly with more
dog owners per square yard than
any other location in the UK,
the perfect setting."
Do you have a favourite
character that you enjoyed
writing for or playing opposite?
"Of course, Naomi Singh! I adore
working with Vicki, both in our
writing room and together on
camera, we just understand the
way each other thinks and yet at
the same time she constantly
delights and surprises me."
What is your approach to writing
"Start at nine in the morning and
don't stop until six at night,
with a break for a nice homemade
lunch. We tend to write with
character first and the
character's actions then create
the plot for you, oh and that
small matter of research!"
How did you set about casting
the dogs, what was it like to
work alongside them?
"We wanted to work with local
dogs and their owners, to
capture real relationships and
allow ourselves to respond to
the dogs' behaviour rather than
training the dog to 'interpret'
our script. It turned out to be
one of our best decisions as we
think all the dogs are magical
on camera, giving some
BAFTA-deserving performances."
Vicki Pepperdine talks about
Puppy Love
Why did you choose to write a
comedy about dogs?
"Some are born with a dog, some
achieve a dog and some have a
dog thrust upon them…
"We wanted to write a series
about dogs, but more
specifically about why people
choose to get a dog. What is it
that is missing from their lives
that they hope to get from a
furry companion?
"The series is about getting a
dog to love, getting a dog to
love you back and by accident
learning that a dog can teach
you everything you need to know
about loving yourself.
"And we wanted to tell some of
the stories of why 7.3 million
people in the UK choose the joy
of owning a dog when the reality
of mishap, adventure and
tribulation, is often more than
they bargained for."
How would you describe your
character, Naomi Singh?
"Naomi is a dedicated youth
worker in the voluntary sector
and is married to cycling
enthusiast Ravi Singh. Naomi is
motivated, precious and
demanding both of herself and
her spirited daughter Jasmine,
who is about to turn 16.
"Naomi and Ravi have bought
Charlie, an expensive pedigree
Retriever to try and teach
Jasmine a sense of
responsibility, but Charlie
totally disrupts their family
life and Naomi ends up in
desperate need of help."
From local dog owners to the
former Commodore of West Kirby's
Sailing Club, why did you cast
members of the local community
rather than using actors?
"We wanted to use 'real people'
to populate our world and lend
it authenticity (like the
elderly ladies in their hospital
beds in Getting On). There is
such obvious authenticity when
you get a real lifeboat crew
member or a genuine police dog
"For the members of Nana V's dog
class we used local people with
their own dogs. The on screen
relationships between pet and
owner meant we were able to use
the dogs to greatest effect."
This clearly is a labour of
love, how did you straddle the
roles of writing, starring and
producing on the same project?
"With difficulty. But it was well
worth it."
Director, Susan Tully talks
about Puppy Love
How did you come to work with
Joanna and Vicki?
"I'd worked with Joanna on Stella
(Sky 1, written by Ruth Jones)
and a few months later I was
asked to direct Getting On. I
was a huge fan of the show."
It is generally advised to avoid
working with animals, were you
apprehensive about directing
Puppy Love's canine cast, how
did it go?
"An animal of some type appears
in every scene throughout the
series (bar one or two scenes
but lets not be picky). I wasn't
as apprehensive as you'd think -
occasionally the animals had to
do something specific and the
approach was - if they can do it
fine - if they can't then we
find a way around it.
"Finding creative solutions to
problems - thinking about
different ways to illustrate
story beats if the animals
wouldn't play ball (which was
rare) is easier when you've got
the writers on hand."
Joanna and Vicki have sited
improvisation as a key tool in
crafting their brand of comedy,
how do you set about directing
the unexpected?
"Improvisation is a key tool but
it's not the only one. Jo and
Vicki put enormous amounts of
time and effort into their
"There is depth and subtlety to
their comedy, the way they
structure their stories are
solid yet unexpected and
complexity of character are all
on the page. So it's rare that
something truly unexpected
happens during filming.
Improvisation doesn't work
without a context.
"The key for the actors was to
know and understand the
intention for every scene but
not to get hung up on knowing
the lines. With some of the
smaller parts we didn't bring
the script into play at all - we
just talked it through and
started shooting - (I'm not a
fan of rehearsing).
"For some actors this can be
incredibly liberating. I work at
my best when I'm working
collaboratively so I try to
create a working environment
that encourages experimentation
- but the script is always in
the forefront of my mind."
Puppy Love is set against the
beautiful backdrop of West
Kirby, what was it like working
with that community and how
involved were they?
"West Kirby is a true gem. It's a
joy to photograph - even on a
grey day that view across the
River Dee towards Wales is
stunning. The community of West
Kirby and beyond were absolutely
invaluable to the making of
Puppy Love.
"The series features all local
shops and services, all local
emergency services including the
RNLI, the West Kirby Sailing
Club and of course local dogs
and their owners. We needed
their co-operation and their
participation and we got it in

What is the standard height for an over the stove microwave? It seems to me that if I install a microwave over the stove that it will hang to low. Also, how small do theses microwaves come?
- Forum >

- over the stove microwave
Over the stove microwaves are all 30 inches wide. This is to match the size of the stove. Height above depends on the cabinets above the stove. All Micros will come with an install guide. All of them have a safety thermostat installed to turn on exhaust fan if temps over the range get too hot.Therefore height above the range must be considered. It might be possible that cutting the cabinets might be nessassary.
We are buying a new house with the typical hood over stove. I would like to build a shelf here for our microwave. Your post sounded as if there are "special" microwaves for over/stove only? Or can I put a "normal" mw there? Where might I find "how to" directions? Thank you.
A regular microwave on a shelf would block the vent (and light).
Replace the vent with an Over the Range Microwave. The combine the functions of a vent fan with a microwave.
They are avialable at appliance and home improvement stores.

Thank you. That makes sense. Unfortunately for me, we just purchased this microwave. I don't know whether it's worth buying a new one right now. Maybe in the future. Thx again.
I was reading the previous post, and I have a vent above the stove that hasn't worked in years - it isn't even hooked up. Can I still install a regular microwave that I have on the bar anyway?

Item: Enough grief, please, from upstate New York "fans" on moving marquee opponent football games to New Jersey.
It would clearly be one argument if fans from across upstate – both the Albany to Buffalo and Watertown down to Binghamton corridors continued to turn out in the numbers last seen when Donovan McNabb was on campus (1995-98).
However, with attendance basically 10,000 less than those glory years of crowds close to Dome capacity (49,262), why shouldn't the university take a reported multi-million dollar guarantee to conduct a football version of the hoop team playing at Madison Square Garden and call it "New York's College Classic"?
» Related: Syracuse to enjoy home field advantage at MetLife Stadium
The players (college students) don't mind a relatively short trip to play in a NFL facility. The huge alumni base in the metropolitan area gets a "home" game in a top-notch building with plenty of amenities, especially the loyal followers who regularly trek hours upstate for each Dome game. It makes a huge impression on impressionable recruits, and the money is just too good to pass up.
With Penn State once, and Notre Dame twice over the next four seasons already on the Met Life docket, and with at least ten other games against likely big-time programs still to come over parts of the next three decades, this is the genesis of what will practically become an annual college football prescience for the Orange program in the New York market.
Until the Dome is regularly sold out for football, and even then it may not matter, it's important for the future of the program to play (and defeat) name teams on a big stage such as Met Life Stadium.

Volunteers come to aid of displaced Lebanon residents after floods
Red Cross volunteers, Anna Mary Zigmann, Linda Nordman and Russell Weeks, are ready for flood and landslide evacuees at Lebanon High School Tuesday night. (MEGHAN PIERCE/Union Leader Correspondent)
And that's just what the Mascoma River did Monday and Tuesday.
Tuesday afternoon, the Red Cross Central Vermont & the New Hampshire Valley Chapter set up an emergency shelter in Lebanon High School for those displaced by flooding and landslides.
Usually the chapter sets up a shelter in the Hartford High School across the river in Vermont, but this time the emergency is centralized in Lebanon.
Monday night about 20 residents of Rivermere, an affordable housing complex on Slayton Hill Road, were evacuated after the Mascoma River ran over and caused a landslide, said Bruce Pollack, Deputy Chief of the Red Cross Central Vermont & the New Hampshire Valley Chapter.
Tuesday afternoon intense rainfall caused more landslides that completely washed away the road. The remaining residents of the road had to hike over the landslide to evacuate.
About 20 to 30 more Rivermere residents were bused to the shelter at the high school. One woman was barefoot, the volunteers said.
"I have a friend who lives on Slayton Hill and when I called him he was at the bottom and said I don't know if my house is here or not," said volunteer Terry Grisby of Lebanon.
The Rivermere residents were given coffee, snacks and blankets and then were bused to a hotel.
The Twin Pines Housing Trust that owns Rivermere is putting all of its residents up in hotels during the ordeal, said Linda Nordman, who is the Red Cross volunteer coordinator for the area as well as a Twin Pines board member.
"The Trust has been really good in providing for residents of Rivermere," Nordman said.
The affordable housing complex had just opened and had held its ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, she said.
But the entire road, including private residences, was evacuated by city officials Tuesday as well as nearby Dulac Street after the landslide worsened, so the shelter was remaining open for the night, though there were no displaced people in need of the shelter at that time.
The Red Cross volunteers were ready with a full shelter in case of any evacuees came in.
The group was diligent about being prepared and had Hurricane Irene, which devastated the Upper Valley region in August 2011, on their minds.
"It has been Hurricane Irene high all week," Zigmann said of area rivers including White River in Vermont and the Connecticut River that divides the states.
Many of the volunteers joined the Red Cross during Irene and were deeply moved by working with evacuees that had lost everything in the floods caused by Irene, they said.
"I started with Irene and that bug just bit me. It bit me hard," Nordman said.
Even though the shelter was empty Tuesday night, except for volunteers and school staff, the pounding raid outside made Nordman think it was likely it would be needed, she said.
Tuesday night, Lebanon Fire Chief Chris Christopoulos, Jr. issued a warning to resident to use extreme caution while traveling on all city and state roads.
Numerous city roads are partially or completely impassable, he said.
He also reminded resident to not drive over roadways that are covered with water.

I grew up in Singapore as a kid and finding out that the Science Film Festival is going to take place in Dubai for the first time, I was ecstatic. I needed to cover this on one of my projects. The festival brought back a lot of my childhood memories when I was in Singapore where my school would send us to the Science Centre with the different festivals and activities taking place there. I covered the festival and enjoyed seeing the kids experiencing similarly as I did as a kid. Science is fun and through festivals like these kids will enjoy the subject more.
It's time for an uncomfortable conversation … | The National
I read this article and liked it. Sex education has always been hushed in many countries, usually Asian countries. In Western countries, they have sex ed in their school curriculum. If you think about it statistically, there are higher number of people who have STDs in countries where they do not have sex ed. There are also people who have it in countries that have sex ed but they are at a lower number. I think the best way to approach the topic is through science and it should be done by experts, real doctors who can explain the consequences in detail without any hesitation.
In my old school in Singapore, they introduced us about puberty at 6th grade although some of the girls already hit it, it was useful as not many of them were aware of the reason behind having their menstrual cycle and etc. They had doctors and nurses at our school to explain to us. It wasn't just for girls, they also let the boys be present for the talk. Their reason was so that they will know what to do once they have wives and daughters.
It is a good idea to have things like these done however implementing it would be very difficult as not everyone would adhere to it. Cultures would clash of the idea. At the end of the day if you face a problem regarding your menstrual cycle or etc, you will still end up going to the doctor for a check up. It's better to let the experts explain it to us at a younger age around 12 like I was so that the attitude towards sex wouldn't be so ignorant. The less you know about something the more ignorant you get. Gaining the right knowledge from the experts is better than gaining wrong information from hear-says. Prevent and protect before it is too late.

Death penalty still the norm?
I recently read this story http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/25/world/meast/iranian-woman-execution/index.html?c=&page=1
The Iranian woman was executed out of self defense. I was shocked however, is death penalty still the norm in our society. In many countries for example, in Philippines where the jails are over crowded I think death penalty is applicable to people who have really murdered someone out of selfish reasons.
In certain countries like the Philippines it is hard to implement this as the Catholic Church is very dominant in the country. However in many countries like Iran it is implemented well which are used to take advantage to execute innocent lives.
Is it morally wrong to say to give someone a death penalty in our society regardless whether he was really guilty or not? What are you thoughts. Personally for me it is a huge dilemma as different countries may find it useful.
What I have noticed is that countries that have death sentence have commonly stern Governments. People in those certain countries generally follow their Governments and are content with them. However in countries with no death sentences the Governments are generally not as strict and strong.
Do you think punishments like death penalty should be present in our society to maintain peace and order or do you feel it is not needed? What other ways do you think can be done to have peace and order in the country?

PWC project
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to cover one of the graduations of the Mini MBA at PWC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) Academy. I covered the event and shot the interviews done.
Get active
I recently joined gym for the first time in my life. In the past I have been active in school. I was part of the track team and badminton team in my school. However after graduating from school, I also stopped being active. I have to admit I thought I didn't need it as I know my body well. After joining the gym, clearly I do not know my body well. I tell my body to work out more yet it yells at me no!
As we get older our bodies become much harder to maintain and that is why moving is important. Any daily movement is useful as long as you don't end up as a couch potato the whole day. In our generation we live in a fast paced life where we are distracted by the multiple screens that take over our lives that we forget to stop and reflect whether we have walked enough or even forget whether what we ate was right for our body.
I have learned that whatever we eat should be useful to us. If we eat more, we should do more movements. I am not going to say exercise as even as simple as walking is already an exercise. Cleaning the house, doing the laundry also involves multiple movements. Therefore multiple movements is a better way of calling it.
We all take for granted when we used to live with our parents, our mom does everything. Come to think of it, she is better than any superhero. She cooks, cleans and goes to work. And oh yes don't forget the PTA's (parent teachers meetings). I grew up in an Asian family therefore doing chores was a must. It was something that kept us motivated to get the chance to watch our own tv shows. If we did not finish our homework and do our chores on time, we won't have the chance to get hold of the remote to choose the channel. Yes, it was easier back then as there was only one screen, the TV.
Living in Dubai, time is crucial. It goes by really fast. Therefore utilizing to keep oneself busy is important. Just make sure to eat right and do daily multiple movements. If you can't do it then join the gym like I did. The gym I joined is Fitness First. There are also other gyms in Dubai so it's entirely up to you. If you don't like the gym then join some Zumba or Aerobic classes. There are also a lot of marathons that take place in the country where you can sign up to get active.

Genoa organizing Block Watch program
The meeting is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at Fire Station 3 of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District on Sixth Street in Genoa.
"The first meeting was very well attended with some great discussion to get the Block Watch organized," Bratton said. "There is still some unfinished business to discuss and act upon. We will address meetings during the summer months and programs for the fall. This is a part of the community service program presented by the officers of the Genoa Police Department for the citizens of our community. "
Bratton said he also appreciates members of the village administration attending the first meeting.
The change-out of water meters is necessary due to a contract change with the City of Toledo, which owns the existing meters but is no longer providing meter-reading and billing for service, said Jerry Greiner, executive director of the water and sewer district.
The district has assumed responsibility for serving the Wood County customers in the region. Greiner said new meters will provide more accurate water usage, more efficient meter reading, and hourly usage capability
The district isn't charging for changing the meters. If a meter is in a pit in the yard, there should be no loss of service. If meters are in homes, U.S. Bronco will make appointments for the change-out. Evening appointments will be available.
Questions can be directed to customer service at the district at 1-877-354-9090, option 2 or specific appointments can be scheduled by calling U.S. Bronco at 419-409-0049.
Only buses and emergency vehicles will be permitted through the area during construction.

What explains Gov. Rick Scott's sudden decision to remove Florida from a national consortium developing a test to better measure student achievement, a test meant to replace the FCAT next year?
The governor said Tuesday he doesn't want the federal government intruding into Florida's education system, his excuse for pulling out of the consortium. "It's their entry point to having more involvement in our education system … It's 'no' to federal intrusion."

Analysis: poll shows disconnect between public and state reps on gambling
Lawmakers in New Hampshire's State House a very divided on whether or not to legalize casino gambling in the state. Granite Staters, at large, appear to be certain that they want it.
Just consider two different surveys in the past week. Last Wednesday, WMUR updated a survey of the 400 House members about if they would vote for any casino gambling bill this year. With roughly 75 percent of the 400-person house answering, it appears the House could go either way. In the WMUR Granite State Poll released Friday, the public favoring casino gambling by a 2-to-1 margin.
When asked about the casino bill, 63 percent of those polled said they favored the idea either "strongly" or "somewhat." In contrast, just 30 percent said they opposed the bill.
That ratio was consistent with how the state Senate voted in last month, when they approved the casino bill by a 16-8 margin.
Interestingly, it will be hard for voters to punish any lawmaker they disagree with on this issue. First, most New Hampshire voters don't know who their state representative is, much less their position on casinos. Second, since this issue does not break down along party lines, it is hard to see how gambling emerges as a major statewide issue in the context of a campaign. In the last governor's race, for example, both the Republican and Democratic nominees supported some version of expanded gambling.
Still, this poll should serve as leverage for Gov. Maggie Hassan and other supporters for expanded gambling as a sign that state residents do want it.

Performance Science Training Institute
C.J. Easter understands the value of physical fitness. As a former defensive back who faced some of college football's most fearsome offenses during a four-year stint with the Stanford Cardinal, he could only be as effective as he was lean. With visions of sleek physiques in mind, Easter earned his personal-training certification from the American Council on Exercise, founded Performance Science Training Institute, and set to work devising a fitness system of his own.
The gym's exclusive Metabolic Movement Training (MMT) System is the result of all that hard work. The system is designed to jump-start the metabolism, so it continues working long after the session is complete by helping the body burn fat all day long. After a dynamic warmup to boost flexibility and coordination, trainers lead students through progressive resistance training to strengthen bones and muscles. Next, exciting, short-burst cardio intervals work to condition the heart and lungs and boost endurance, and a final core-training session chisels the midsection. Every exercise includes modifications and progressions to ensure students at every fitness level will glean benefits, and every session ends with a cool-down and stretch to leave bodies feeling better than when they came in.
The institute's team of instructors also augment MMT exercises with counseling on how to make responsible nutritional decisions and set goals that are both challenging and achievable. This all-over approach doesn't simply help people get fitter; it helps them remake their entire lives in a healthier, happier image.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee health officials say a child is hospitalized with a confirmed case of measles.
It's the city's first confirmed case of measles in 2011. The last confirmed case of measles in Milwaukee was in 2008.
Health officials tell the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the child is a refugee whose family moved to the city recently.
The Milwaukee Health Department is urging Milwaukee area health-care professionals to keep an eye out for the appearance of measles cases in the coming weeks and to report all suspected cases.
Officials also are urging measles vaccinations for people who have not been vaccinated. City residents who are uninsured or do not have a medical provider can receive vaccinations at Milwaukee Health Department health centers starting Thursday at the Northwest Health Center.

Even in our civilized society there are many reasons to be armed.
1 The police are minuets away when seconds count.
2 The events in New Orleans give ample proof that when the "Thin Blue Line" is not present the "Wolves run wild".
3 Fire arms are not just for hunting.
I will add another post as I will go over with this next thought.
You worded this so right Slugger!
OK…jokes over! Bring back the Constitution!
Honey…don't you get your panties in a bunch when someone tries to piss on your constitution? Your rights? Maybe you are one of those who just sits back and lets them do what they want! SHEEP is what that is called! BAAAAAAH!!
hahaha oops "l"
I think maybe you will think differently when the military comes into your home and shoots you! I bet you will wish you loved guns just as much as the rest of those Americans who have that GREAT love affair loser! I think we have evolved and maybe you should as well! GIRL!
Amen! That is the truth!
Thank you!
Its not that we love to bear firearms, but that the beauty of the contitution is that we are allowed to!
Right on Jefferson! Right on!
They will do just that! Shoot you and take your guns!
Criminals will get guns even if we cannot! DUH!! Thats why they are called criminals! They don't care about laws!
Also…regarding the Hitler comment "are we next?" What about Martial Law? Maybe our men and women are in Iraq being desensitised to the suffering of people, so that when they come home they can carry out that very plan here. "martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule on the public" I starts with taking away our right to bear arms, pissing all over the CONTITUTION!
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Doesn't it say that when the constitution no longer works it is time to write a new one? How about it's time for US citizens to take our country back since so many others are in control screwing it all up!! How about we STOP helping so many other countries in need and help our own? Why are we in debt for taking care of so many other countries…who in return would NOT do the same for ours? I suppose something needs to be done and I don't trust in one congressman, or woman, senate member, or any other lying politician to get the job done correctly! Certainly not for the better good of our people!
Hey, Bobby Rush, 52 million of american households owning 260 million guns. Do the math! Oh yea, your a democrat.
You did the math. Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend Tax & Spend
Bill's like this & Obamacare, Cap & Trade is tearing this Nation apart.We are being Destroyed from within OUR OWN Borders.THEY ALL need to look at this statement,SECTION. 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.AND THEY ARE GUILTY OF BRIBE'S.Just look at the latest news.
That is exactly how I feel.
He was probably talking about marijuana use or stealing cable or something like that. I doubt he was talking about guns. But if he was, I'd be interested to know that.
It is OUR RIGHT to keep and bear those arms for our own protection and to keep everyone else honest. If our arms are taken from us, it would be easy for an army to overwhelm the population. If we have our arms, it would be far more difficult.
Are we going down the road to such an occurrence? Who knows? But the possibility always existed for an entire population to be swayed by a charismatic leader with false information and evil intentions. With the right authority (Genocidal psychiatrists) and false information (Jews are mental defectives), Germany murdered millions of its population and surrounding countries populations. But what preceded that event? THE GERMANS DISARMED THEIR POPULATION. The Jews and those with a conscience could not defend themselves. I guarantee you that history would read differently if the German population was armed. So of course, the first step in abusing the rights of a society is LEGALLY disarming the population, and here it is on our doorstep.
The perfect rebuttal. Thank you.
You evidentaly live in a place with no crime or criminal intent. The police will protect you, or at least your body after you have been raped, robbed and murdered. I would rather protect myself now then have people grieve over my murdered body later!
You know, Hitler did the same thing in the late 30's. He confiscated all handguns from the people. When he had them all, he started killing the Jews. Are we next?
You are writing Rep. Harry Mitchell [D, AZ-5]. Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server. Imagine that when I clicked on "write your representative" on this page. Stay away from my guns……
If more upstanding honest citizens were armed I foresee less criminals attack those honest citizens. Congress needs to work more to stop criminals from obtaining weapon not upstanding citizens, additionally those incarcerated for any attack with the use of a weapon , should be put away (jailed) without parole for an extended period of time and not released because jails are overcrowded. It is more important at this point in our history that the upstanding honest citizens should be armed since a financial cutback by states usually means a decrease in police so those government officials have an excuse to increase taxes because of rising crime rates. More freedom should be given to the honest and upstanding people and not to the criminals.
heres some fun lil facts for yall
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.. From 1929 to 1953,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1..5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total
of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
I am outraged. And I am not sure what bothers me more… The fact that our current government has been conspiring against its citizens in their evil plot to turn us in to a socialist haven, the fact that the people with whom I did NOT elect, but nonetheless "represent" me – feel the need to do whatever they want to do rather than what the people in their district demand or that they continually deflect the things that matter to the people for their own wicked agendas.
Well, all I can say about this bill is they can have my guns when they pry them from my cold, dead hands. The insanity of our current government has reached a new low.

Sightseeing on the Thames (London)
Sightseeing on the Thames (London)
So how can you enjoy London without the congestion, noise and pollution? Well, how about a peaceful cruise on the Thames, the ideal way to take in a number of the capital's major landmarks between Westminster and Greenwich.
It's advisable to opt for the Red Rover ticket (an all day pass) that will mean you can hop on and off the boats to your heart's content. Board at Westminster Pier and head for Waterloo Pier to experience the heights (135 metres to be precise) of the London Eye. Then catch the next boat to Tower Pier for a stroll around Tower Bridge and the Tower of London before climbing back on board and sailing to Greenwich where you can take in the park and visit, among other things, the National Maritime Museum, Queen's House and the Royal Observatory (home of the famous Greenwich meridian).
Whatever route you opt for, the journey is sure to take you past some of the city's most well-known landmarks, including Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Footbridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern to name but a few. Look out, too, for the Docklands, the city's influential and ultra-modern business district, situated around the old London docks and dominated by the imposing Canary Wharf shopping and leisure complex.
