“Population aging is unprecedented, without parallel in
the history of humanity. Increases in the proportions of
older persons (60 years or older) are being accompanied
by declines in the proportions of the young (under age 15).
By 2050, the number of older persons in the world will
exceed the number of young for the first time in history.”*
We find this global phenomenon fascinating and far too
important to ignore. We’ll be undertaking a study on the
global aging population at the start of 2011. If you’d like
to be involved or hear more about it, please get in touch.

On 30 January 2011, in the midst of a freezing British
winter, Simon, Chris, Hayley, Francesca and Eleanor
take on the Tough Guy Challenge. As if a nine-mile run
isn’t enough, they’ll also tackle an obstacle course
including a field of burning hay, swimming under ice
capped water, crawling in mud under barbed wire and
charging through curtains of electrodes.
It may seem insane and they’re all pretty concerned,
but it’s for a good cause. They’re raising money for
the Karuna Trust.
Please sponsor their stupidity at:

It wasn’t exactly difficult to leave snowy London and head More…
to sunny Miami Beach for “the most important art show in
the US”. The show itself is huge, featuring the world’s top
galleries. My London favorites included the hilarious
Richard Prince piece, expressing mixed opinions about
his newly wed two-headed wife

After a little push and an opportune conversation with
friend, work colleague and now band mate Tom Morgan,
I am following my dream, having joined ‘The World Service’
(TWS) as lead singer.
Our debut gig went better than we could have hoped for. More…
As the main support to ‘The Battles of Winter’, TWS played
to a rapturous and somewhat rowdy crowd
