If YoU like high fashion, hoods are good. Hoods and snoods are “in” this autumn: the catwalk tells us so. at Paris fashion week earlier this month, girls wore their cashmere hoodies slopping over the back of their rick owens leather jackets, teamed with ankle boots and a pleated mini. Why, you can buy a hooded mohair jacket from Marc Jacobs for Pounds 1,460.
Meanwhile, over in tottenham, students are being banned from wearing their hoods up in an initiative that, it is hoped, will help to cut gang crime. i suspect, unless gangs have had a particularly fruitful year selling bags of crushed-up leaves to 12-year-olds, these hoods won’t hail from Marc Jacobs

I vacationed this summer within the quaint village of Riomaggiore, with its yellow, pink and salmon-colored homes with matching terra cotta roofs built on the steep mountainous ridges of the Italian coastline. Below the town are huge crashing waves and turquoise sparkling waters bordered by white pebbly beaches.
These villages that make up the Cinque Terre ? translated from Italian to mean five lands ? are a metaphor we can use to discover the five lands we each need to visit, familiarize ourselves and conquer to realize a true measure of success in our lives. Just as the Italians have been diligent about requesting help from the outside world to reclaim this territory and enable it to flourish as families have dispersed throughout the years, heading to the bigger cities for fame and fortune ? we need to consciously explore the lands that lead to our success: Contribution, Confidence, Creativity, Courage and Commitment.
Why are these five lands of such importance to individual success? When we consider any measure of accomplishment, it is certain that positive results arose as a result of claiming these aspects ? or in our metaphor ? lands.
To forge a particular ?contribution? in business one has to be focused and aware of one?s particular strengths.

Beside the Wave: Annual summer exhibition
0 Comments | Cornish Guardian; Truro (UK), Jul 28, 2010
THE BESIDE the Wave Gallery in Falmouth, hosts its annual summer exhibition, and it provides the gallery with an excellent opportunity to showcase its eclectic mix of gallery artists.
From the dramatic and dynamic to detailed and delicate the exhibition covers many different aspects of the Cornish landscape in this collection which opens on Saturday at 10am.
After exploring Falmouth during the final stage of her series of exhibitions Colours, Coast and Sea, Amanda Hoskin felt compelled to return to the area.
Exploring the harbour and inlets around the Carrick Roads Amanda has provided the gallery with studies of delicate spring and summer flowers hanging atop rolling fields flowing down towards the inlets around Trelissick.
Sail boats are highlighted by the sun as dappled rays flow over water and sky, creating scenes that typify the subtle influence of light on this beautiful area of Cornwall.
In contrast one of the gallery’s most dramatic landscape artists, Miles Heseltine, has captured the coastal and moorland landscapes around the rugged area of West Penwith.
Miles’ work has an amazing energy that is evident in the thick brush strokes and spontaneous mark-making. His aim is to capture the physical force of nature, whether during windswept brooding days or as the light changes and Cornwall becomes more colourful. It is this dynamic style, even in smaller studies, that continues to build his national reputation – this is the second year that Miles’ work has been selected for the RWA’s prestigious Open Painting Show.
Alongside these artists will be a small collection of oils by Sarah Wimperis. Although better known for her watercolours, in April Sarah Wimperis was selected to exhibit in two prestigious national exhibitions; the Royal Institute for Painters in Watercolour and the Royal Watercolour Society, her miniatures of the area around the Helford are an exquisite exploration of the shapes and forms of the lush foliage and mystical creeks of the river.
Also keen to experiment with the play of light on structure and form is Roy Goodman.
For this exhibition Roy has focussed on the twisting roads and characterful houses of Alternun near Launceston, as well as the moorlands surrounding the village.
Using acrylics he uses blocks of colour and a strong palette to cleverly manipulate light and shade giving a completely unique outlook.
This approach is tied into Roy’s continuing exploration of the process of perception and expectation versus reality.T he exhibition will be completed by other gallery artists including Emma Jeffryes, Alasdair Lindsay, Richard Tuff and Andrew Tozer, who together have created a show that will entice, challenge and delight

Perhaps, the hardest thing
Perhaps, the hardest thing a person will have to do is find the right career that suits their personality. The fact is, most of us have to work but how many of us are actually working in our dream job? One difficulty in getting there is not knowing what would make us happy professionally. Sure you may think you know the answer, but without indepth research you are only guessing.
For most people, the process of finding a career starts in college. As a senior in high school you are expected to not only decide on a college to attend, but also to choose your profession. Then you head off to a university and begin your quest to become educated in your chosen field with the hopes of landing a terrific job. How can you expect to decide on your future if you haven’t looked at all the possibilities? Perhaps this is the reason that so many undergraduate students either change their majors or leave school altogether. Maybe with a little more direction upfront this would be avoided.
So How Do You Get The Career Direction You Need?
A couple great places to start is at career centers and job fairs.

0 Comments | Herald Express; Torquay (UK), Jul 26, 2010
SWEET-SMELLING shrubs are stimulating the senses at Collaton St Mary Primary School.
The Paignton pupils arranged an array of fundraising events, and then used the money to create a garden to arouse the sensory stimulus.
Year Three teacher Nicki Morley said: “This term all Key Stage 2 pupils have been planning, designing and building a sensory garden in our school.
“We researched the sort of plants we would need that would be good for all five of the senses, and then we planted all the plants.”
To celebrate the opening the pupils arranged a garden party, inviting governors, parents and members of the community.
