Mode Insurance provides flexible cover for self-employed and freelance creatives, as well as small businesses in the creative sectorBacked by Gambit Insurance Solutions Ltd, Bspoke Insurance Group Ltd and Movo Partnership Ltd

After spending two years away to focus on his work promoting multicultural inclusion and progression in the insurance sector with iCAN (Insurance Cultural Awareness Network), Ajay Mistry has launched Mode Insurance as a new way for creative workers to buy insurance.


Providing flexible insurance that puts creative workers in control of their protection has long been a passion for Ajay, who has grown frustrated in recent years with the lack of modern alternatives to business insurance for the creative sector.


Commenting on the launch, Ajay Mistry, said:


“With Mode Insurance, my team and I have launched something new and exciting that will help creative freelancers buy the insurance they need.


“We’ve pulled together our wealth of insurance broking expertise with a team of freelancers to build a fresh and flexible service that is a game-changer for creative freelancers who want insurance that's as flexible as they are.


“The creative economy is diverse and growing rapidly as more people than ever make the shift away from traditional ways of working. We get that it can be overwhelming, which is why we've made getting the right insurance straightforward and fuss-free – whether that's just for a day, a weekend or the whole year round.


“We want to put creatives in complete control of their cover, providing them with the foundations to succeed in the creative sector.”


Flexible, straightforward and adaptable


Ajay and the team at Gambit Insurance Solutions Ltd worked with a team of former freelancers and professionals with marketing backgrounds to design and shape the Mode Insurance offering. This means the customer base is firmly at the centre of every part of the proposition – and this in-house understanding of the freelance economy is supplemented by Ajay’s insurance broking expertise.


Self-employed creatives and small business owners can choose from a suite of appropriate levels of cover for their equipment, their work, and themselves, with general insurance policies underwritten by Bspoke Sports & Leisure on behalf of Accelerant Insurance Europe SA.


Craig Morgan, Managing Director at Bspoke Sports & Leisure said:


“The Bspoke Group is thrilled to be working with Mode Insurance.


“The energy and expertise Ajay and the rest of the team bring is a breath of fresh air and can only help the freelancer industry as it returns to its strength following the great recovery post Covid.


“We are pleased to be at the start of a partnership together. This is the first of many distribution partnerships for the Sports & Leisure division.”


Mode Insurance allows creative workers and small businesses to get a quote online for Public Liability Insurance, Equipment Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance and Employers’ Liability Insurance. The online quoting system, which was built by Durell Software, is designed to be extremely intuitive and easy to use, so busy freelancers can buy a policy and get their cover documents in a matter of minutes.


Durell’s Managing Director, Tom White, said ahead of the launch of Mode Insurance:


“Gambit Insurance Solutions have been a fantastic company to work with, a great team, innovative approach and well-designed products.


“It's very pleasing to launch so quickly, it really highlights the synergies offered by Durell's collaboration with Movo.


“We continually look for new partners that align with our strategy and we saw Gambit as a perfect fit.


“I look forward to building a lasting relationship and all the new opportunities that working together will bring.”


Mode Insurance is the first scheme from Gambit Insurance Solutions, who have partnered with the Movo Partnership – an Appointed Representative Network for Start-Up & Established Insurance Brokers.


Lea Cheesbrough, CEO at Movo Partnership & Commercial Director of Durell Software said:


“We are delighted to be part of this amazing journey with Mode Insurance and the wider team of Gambit Insurance Solutions.


“The energy and foresight the team have runs to their core and Movo Partnership feel honoured to be a small part of this.


“Future thinking brokers like Mode are finding ways to support customers via tech and traditional customer service, making them a significant player in the independent broking market.”

The Museum
of Witchcraft and Magic has invited Bioart Coven
founder WhiteFeather Hunter to curate its 2024 exhibition.



A Canadian
technofeminist transdisciplinary artist and scholar
working in a multiplicity of media, which often operate
without conventional notions of art, science and magical
practice; Dr Hunter has recently completed a PhD in Biological
Art at Symbiotica, The  University of Western Australia.



Her doctoral
research into developing a novel menstrual serum for tissue
engineering experiments was spotlighted by Merck/ Sigma-Aldrich for
International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2021 as part of
their #nextgreatimpossible campaign:
her work has received many awards and accolades.



Several
of her works, which debuted last year at Art Laboratory
Berlin, were produced as part of Hunter’s doctoral research in
tissue engineering and laboratory magic using human stem cells
derived from taboo body materials—all within the context
of contemporary feminist witchcraft.



She
returns to the Museum to install an exhibition showcasing
her recent works, along with selected objects from the museum
and other prestigious collections including Genesis
P.Orridge's / Sigil for Derek Jarman, and mysterious material
from the hermetic Richel-Eldermans Collection.



The
exhibition, Arcanum Sanguinis: Occult Blood will
span the downstairs gallery and upper floor display rooms and will
also include a video / textile piece she produced during
her previous residency in 2022. Worked as a complex
composite combining digital and organic
matter, Palimpsest presages her later work
via its interrogation of MWM archival material
transmitted to the audience as tactile ghost pages, representing her
scholarly approach to research.



For Arcanum
Sanguinis, Hunter’s curation of museum objects and
artefacts that accompany her work speak to the symbolism, beliefs and
practices that have underpinned the development of the discipline of biomedicine
over the centuries. Though ‘magic’ and ‘science’ are often
imagined to be opposing realms, Hunter has arranged a visual thematic
narrative to show some of the subtle overlaps that exist between
them, purposing the coalescence of material in unexpected ways.


Hunter’s machine embroidered and blood-stained lab coat
complements a hand-embroidered ritual robe that features a caduceus
symbol. The caduceus, a double-snake helical arrangement around a
staff originates from ancient fertility goddess worship but is now
best known for its association with medical institutions.



Considerable
attention has been given to the proven parallels between art and
magical practice, to the extent that they may in fact
seem quite commonplace. Little attention has been awarded
to the correspondences betwixt scientific practice and magic. In
the instances that they exist, they are considered to
be taboo ...by The Academy.



In Arcanum
Sanguinis: Occult Blood, Hunter shows that from folk magic
to alchemy to contemporary biotechnological advance, our cultural
perceptions of health and the body have always been moderated through
ritual and influenced by biopolitics.



Arcanum
Sanguinis: Occult Blood by WhiteFeather Hunter opens Monday,
April 1, 2024 and will run the full season until October 31, 2024.

Meet Pablo, the trailblazing dog celebrity/influencer, and one of the most famous dogs in the UK



Pablo is a social media star (with well over 100,000 Instagram and Tiktok followers), he’s the star of a billboard campaign, and now star of his own book series. Pablo is a dog. And his owner’s quest to make him famous is quite by design, hoping it might kickstart a new cultural trend.


“The beauty of dog fame is there is no downside,” says Bobby Breese. “Dogs are attention seekers, much like some wannabee reality TV stars. But the difference is that attention and fame doesn’t change a dog’s personality, they are completely unaware of their changed status. Concepts of fame or notoriety don't enter their consciousness, they don’t see fame and celebrity as measures of success, and paparazzi intrusion wouldn’t cause them any undue stress or lead to a stint in rehab. All it means to them is more attention, treats and belly rubs from strangers, and human attention is exactly what dogs hanker after the most.”


Pablo is a Borador, which is a cross breed of half a border collie and half a labrador. Bobby is a huge fan of this unique mix, describing him as half-intelligent half-greedy, but is also keen to point out that his best qualities are those shared by all dogs. “Pablo is special to us in the same way all dogs are special to their owners. The unconditional loyalty and love, the entertainment and clownery they provide, and the empathy and ability to sync their behaviour with their owners over time”.


So how did Pablo’s fame come about?


“He’s always been a bit of a local celebrity around North-West London, when out on walks he gets stopped in the street or ushered into his local butchers for some treats,” said Bobby. “But it is in the local pubs that he has become best known and built his social media following. His party trick is asking the bar staff for his own particular tipple (a bowl of water with ice).”



Pablo was recently entered into a competition to become one of the stars of a new advertising campaign by his dog food brand Butternut Box. Lo and behold, they were charmed by his cheeky antics and Pablo can now be spotted on billboards across London.


Bobby has always been a keen writer, and Pablo coming into his life, and the adventures they get up to, has inspired his latest venture. Pablo is now the star of his own book series, The Adventures of Pablo, and until the start of May you can get your hands on Pablo’s books through a Kickstarter campaign.


Bobby thinks he’s hit on a winning formula. “The books themselves are unique in that there is a children’s and adult book for each story, so there is something for everyone. And everyone is literally a winner. The more famous Pablo gets, and the more social media followers he gets, the more the books will be worth over time. The more books that are sold, the more treats and adventures Pablo gets, and some of the money will be going to dog charities too,” says Bobby.



For more information on Pablo’s books that are available now until the start of May, visit: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theadventuresofpablo/the-adventures-of-pablo-valuable-keepsake-books

Tuesday 26 March 2024


STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01AM, TUESDAY 26 MARCH
MAJOR NEW SCIENCE MUSEUM GALLERY EXPLORES URGENT ENERGY TRANSITION NEEDED TO LIMIT CLIMATE CHANGE
Today a major new gallery examining the rapid energy transition and decarbonisation needed globally to limit climate change opens at the Science Museum; Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery features historic and contemporary objects and engaging digital exhibits that highlight how we can journey towards a low carbon world; The free gallery showcases how the world can generate and use energy more sustainably, highlighting technologies and projects from the UK and abroad - from hydrogen power on Orkney to terracotta air-cooling façades in India and solar farms in Morocco; The gallery encourages visitors to reflect on past energy transitions and the pioneers who dreamed what might be possible, while imagining the energy use that will shape our low carbon future.

Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery Ticketed; FREE


Level 2


sciencemuseum.org.uk/energy-revolution


Today the Science Museum opens a major new gallery dedicated to one of the greatest challenges of our time, exploring how the world can generate and use energy more sustainably to urgently decarbonise global energy systems and limit dangerous climate change. Through striking displays of contemporary and historic objects, engaging digital exhibits and specially commissioned models, the gallery shows how the past, present and future of energy systems are shaped by human imagination and innovation and explores how we all have a role to play in deciding our energy future.   


The free gallery examines this century’s defining challenge through the lens of imagination across three sections. In Future Planet, visitors can examine how climate scientists use mathematics and complex computer-based models to understand our planet, and what these tell us about the range of climate futures that might lie ahead. In Future Energy, technologies - and the people behind them - that are reimagining how energy is supplied and used today are highlighted alongside historic artefacts which provide a longer view of the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Our Future looks forward to a new world that is being dreamt up, with children’s creative ideas of how the world will meet its future energy needs displayed with expert responses to them.


At the centre of the gallery, uniting science and art, is an art commission Only Breath, a kinetic sculpture that moves and blooms, stretching to around 5 metres in diameter when unfurled. Created by artists Alexandra Carr and Colin Rennie from Torus Torus Studios, the sculpture was made from repurposed mirrors, recyclable stainless steel and windblown wood and signifies the power of nature to inspire technological change.


Vital low-carbon technologies for the energy transition, from nuclear, hydrogen and solar to wind and tidal power, are explored in Future Energy. On display for the first time is a huge quadrant from the Zero Energy Thermonuclear Assembly (ZETA), a nuclear fusion experiment created in the late 1950s by British scientists who imagined a world filled with abundant energy thanks to nuclear fusion. Visitors can study part of a later fusion experiment, the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) which operated in Oxfordshire until 2013, and enjoy a view inside the record-breaking Joint European Torus (JET) fusion machine where scientists are experimenting to create a fusion-powered future. Visitors can also examine the complexities of nuclear power and consider if nuclear fission could meet growing energy needs. On display are models of made by Rolls-Royce of a small modular nuclear reactor, which may power more of our homes in the future, alongside part of a real (but non-radioactive) canister used for storing nuclear waste in the UK.


Every hour the Sun sends more energy to Earth than we use in a year. Yet to use this solar energy, it must be captured and distributed to where it’s needed. The objects on display showcase the sheer variety possible with solar power, from a model of a solar-powered classroom which supports schoolchildren and local communities in India and Uganda to the towering 5m tall parabolic solar trough mirrors used on huge solar farms to concentrate sunlight and generate electricity, and a model of the Xlinks ship built to lay a 4,000 km long cable to supply the UK with electricity from Moroccan solar and wind farms. An interactive game designed for the gallery invites visitors to solve challenges at solar installations across the world.


The Scottish islands of Orkney are playing an important role in the energy transition, with abundant wind and tidal energy being harnessed to develop an innovative hydrogen economy. Visitors can see a model of hydrogen and renewable energy projects on the islands, from floating offshore wind and tidal turbines to the world’s first large-scale green hydrogen plant, and watch a film featuring the people and places behind these pioneering projects. On display for the first time is a vast 7m long tidal turbine blade made by Orbital Marine Power. Used on a 63-metre-long, 500-tonne vessel in 2016, this prototype blade helped generate enough electricity to power a thousand homes thanks to the strong tidal flows around Orkney. Visitors can also ponder the potential of hydrogen to support our future energy needs while looking at the hydrogen electrolyser used in South Yorkshire to split water and generate hydrogen in the UK’s first hydrogen refuelling station.


Oliver Carpenter, Lead Curator of Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery at the Science Museum, said: ‘This gallery shares contemporary stories of individuals, organisations and communities all imagining the future of low-carbon energy, but it also spotlights some of the earliest ideas and technologies created by the imaginations of previous generations. By taking a long view of the energy revolution and showcasing impressive technologies of the past, alongside today’s low-carbon options, we hope to inspire visitors to imagine a low-carbon energy future.’


It was by imagining a world powered by electricity that American inventor Thomas Edison created the world’s first public electricity network in London in 1882 and established how electricity is supplied to this day. On display for the first time are rare surviving Edison tube mains cables which made this feat of engineering possible and transformed the way we live. Electrification has a long history and visitors can marvel at the first electric taxi, the elegant black and yellow Bersey cab hailed by Londoners in 1897, and one of the first rechargeable batteries made in 1860. In 1893 the dazzling vision of an electrically lit future became a reality as thousands of electric lamps like one on display lit up the Chicago World’s Fair. These remarkable innovations remind us that major change is possible and that many of the technologies needed to achieve this low-carbon energy transition already exist.


The gallery also explores the challenge of energy storage and ensuring consistent access to power when it’s needed. Visitors can balance supply and demand in an interactive game based on the National Grid and examine a variety of batteries used to store energy, from familiar AA alkaline and hearing aid batteries to chemical batteries that power electric vehicles and satellites. They can also play with a working model of a gravity battery, which uses falling heavy weights to generate electricity.


Low-carbon vehicles are appearing all around us, but transformed infrastructure, increased electrification and low-carbon fuels will be needed to decarbonise transport further. Visitors can see a bicycle from the largest urban bike sharing scheme in the world, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle scheme in China, alongside an early public electric car charging post installed in London in 2006. Also on display is a canister for synthetic aviation fuel from British company Zero and the Royal Air Force, which undertook the world’s first flight powered by 100% synthetic kerosene in 2021.


The Future Energy section looks at the building and construction industries which also need to decarbonise. On display are traditional adaptation techniques, such as the 3m high CoolAnt passive air-cooling façade from India that reduces dependence on powered air conditioning, and unusual building materials, including a ‘urine bio-brick’ developed by the University of Cape Town that sets hard at room temperature. Visitors can also see heat pumps, which use electricity to concentrate heat from the ground or air and deliver it into homes, and are likely to become increasingly common in UK houses as gas-powered boilers are replaced.


The museum is on course to welcome three million visits in the year ending on 31 March with more UK visitors than ever before, including 1 million children visiting with their schools or families among the record 2.25 million domestic visits.


Sir Ian Blatchford, Director and Chief Executive of the Science Museum Group, said: ‘In a week when we’re celebrating a record 2.25 million visits by UK residents to the museum, including a million children, this stunning gallery offers even more to ignite curiosity among the millions who will visit in the year ahead – provoking important conversations about the urgent need for the world to generate and use energy more sustainably. Our curators have created an inspirational experience, supported by hundreds of people from artists to those involved in acquiring, conserving and transporting vast objects safely into the gallery, and of course vital funding from our generous sponsor Adani Green Energy.’


Our understanding of climate change is founded on projections of how Earth’s systems will change in the future. These projections are made possible because of vital long-term global observational data from instruments that show how our planet is changing. In Future Planet, visitors can watch a film exploring the application of computer models to improve understanding of climate impacts in the global south, focussing on a collaborative project involving the Met Office in the UK and the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and browse a mass display of instruments from the Science Museum Group Collection used to observe and measure the climate on land, in the air and at sea. These include an air-sampling flask used for observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide based on Charles David Keeling’s original design, rain and wind gauges and the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer, a satellite-based scientific instrument which takes precise observations of sea surface temperature from space.


The gallery’s Title Funder is Adani Green Energy, a major Indian renewables company. Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director said, 'The Science Museum has put together the world’s best curated gallery on energy transition. As one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies, we are dedicated to making progress towards net zero – and there is no greater resource in the fight against climate change than education. Through the sponsorship of the gallery, we aim to inspire young minds, scientists, and innovators to imagine a future powered by clean energy and build a carbon-free world. It is an initiative to stimulate their interest, curiosity and awareness, and encourage their active participation in creating clean technologies. The gallery brings together the global community to enable the shift towards energy efficiency, clean energy adoption and carbon emissions reduction. We hope the museum’s millions of visitors learn about the vital importance of renewable energy in tackling climate change.'


In Our Future, the gallery encourages visitors to imagine the future, and use their creativity as a powerful tool for generating knowledge, stimulating innovation, and shaping decisions about how we live. This section features a digital installation showing children’s ideas and scientific experts’ responses to them. It also displays a decarbonisation tracker so that visitors can see how the UK is performing on its low carbon journey.


Energy Revolution was designed by award-winning architect and design studio Unknown Works, who also designed the solar-powered classrooms featured in the gallery. A key element of the gallery’s sustainable design was the repurposing of more than 200 redundant metal shelves from the Science Museum’s former object store in west London to create an innovative modular design to display objects in the gallery. Aluminium was also used where possible as it can be easily recycled, with energy efficient LEDs used to light the gallery. The gallery’s digital screens and lighting is also turned off when the museum is closed to reduce energy consumption. The gallery’s carbon footprint has been monitored and together these actions will help reduce the carbon emissions from creating and opening the gallery.

This summer, SOS Africa in partnership with Shepton Mallet Prison and Aardvark Endeavours, opens its gates not to confine, but to liberate, as it hosts a ground-breaking charity abseil event on the 15th and 16th of June, 2024. The event, set against the backdrop of the prison's 400-year history, offers participants a unique opportunity to abseil from the roof of the prison's workshop building, all in the spirit of raising funds for the SOS Africa children's charity.


The event, which coincides with Father's Day weekend, promises to be an unforgettable experience for families and individuals alike. Participants will have the rare chance to explore the infamous prison workshop, venture across its walkways, and take in the expansive views from the rooftop before making their descent. It's an ideal challenge for both seasoned abseilers and first timers, offering a unique way to confront fears and bond with loved ones.


Joel Campbell, CEO of Shepton Mallet Prison, expresses his enthusiasm for the event, stating, "We are honoured to collaborate with SOS Africa for this exhilarating event. Transforming a space historically associated with limitation into one of liberation and opportunity symbolises our commitment to positive community engagement and support for charitable causes."


SOS Africa's history of hosting engaging and impactful events, including the memorable 'Nominate an Inmate' initiative which raised over £60,000, has paved the way for this latest adventure. The charity's past abseil challenges at iconic venues such Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage, Wells Cathedral and King Alfred’s Tower have captivated participants across the Southwest, making this event at Shepton Mallet Prison highly anticipated.


Matt Crowcombe, Founder of SOS Africa, shares his excitement: "Returning to Shepton Mallet Prison for this special event is a thrill. Working alongside the prison team, we're set to offer an experience that not only challenges participants but also deeply connects them with the local heritage, all while supporting a noble cause."


To join this much-anticipated event, participants are required to secure their spot with a £20 deposit and commit to a fundraising goal. With options for both adults and children, it's a fantastic way for everyone to contribute to a great cause, experience the thrill of abseiling, and engage with the rich history of Shepton Mallet Prison.

Ashtead Players will be bringing the flavour of the West End and Broadway to Ashtead with their next production – ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ by Richard Bean - which they will be performing from 24 to 27 April 2024at Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall, The Street, Ashtead KT21 2BE.


Many will recognise the title after popular actor and comedian James Corden took the theatre world by storm in the role of Francis, and the play was given a wider audience when a recording of the London production was televised during lockdown giving us all something to smile about.


Director Paul Andrews said: "’One Man Two Guvnors’ was a smash hit in the West End and on Broadway and we are delighted to have been given the chance to stage it in Ashtead. We have amassed a great cast and crew and are excited to have had a number of brand new songs written and arranged by a local band. It's going to make for a cracking night of entertainment."


The play is set in 1963 Brighton, when out-of-work skiffle player Francis Henshall becomes separately employed by two men – Roscoe Crabbe, a gangster, and Stanley Stubbers, an upper-class twit.


Francis tries to keep the two from meeting, in order to avoid each of them learning that Francis is also working for someone else.


Complicating events, Roscoe is really Rachel Crabbe, his twin sister, in disguise. Roscoe has been killed by Rachel's boyfriend, who is none other than Stanley Stubbers.


Complicating it further still is local mobster Charlie the Duck, who has arranged his daughter Pauline's engagement to Roscoe despite her preference for over-the-top amateur actor Alan Dangle. The plot thickens ….


Performances are at 7.45pm from Wednesday 24 to Saturday 27 April 2024 with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets are available on the door for £15 or in advance for £12 via https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/ashteadplayers
or box office 07598 121477.


Ashtead Players have been entertaining the residents of Ashtead and beyond for nearly 80 years and have an enviably distinguished artistic record.

NEW DOCUMENTARY ON AMAZON PRIME OUT NOWUFO ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIFTH KINDA new documentary by award winning film-maker Mark Christopher Lee is today released on Amazon Prime:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0CV8QGBY6/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

The film investigates the so called CE5 (Close Encounters Of The Fifth Kind) protocols that have been developed by UFO experts like Dr. Stephen Greer which supposedly allow people to contact and summon Aliens and UFOs. Film-Maker - Mark Christopher Lee - heard about this and decided to up it to the test asking friends and fellowUFO enthusiasts to gather on Woodcock Hill in Hertfordshire to see if they could "summon" a UFO.Lee states:

"It was an interesting evening and obviously we saw a lot of planes and stars being a clear night but we got to relax and hang out and talk UFOs with friends. But weirdly as soon as we finished filming for the evening and started putting the cameras away someone spotted something high up that wasn't a star or a plane. Luckily we managed to get filming again and caught it on camera. It was definitely a UFO"

The film also encountered several unexplained setbacks such as when the co-producer Guy Thompson was unable to attend the filming due to a combination ofill health, his car breaking down and trains being cancelled. Thompson states:

"It was weird as was all set to come up from Salisbury where I live to film in Hertfordshire I came over with this unsettling sensation and nausea. I decided to push through itand got into my car (which had recently been serviced) but it wouldn't start! This increased my anxiety but I really wanted to get there so decided to take the train but once I got to the station all trains to London were cancelled! I definitely think weird forces were at work."

The film is out now on Amazon Prime worldwide and you can view the trailer here:Trailer - UFO Encounters Of The Fifth Kind

The Chilterns Neuro Centre's Pop-Up Art Weekend in Wendover just wrapped up its most successful year yet with over a thousand art enthusiasts venturing into a realm of creativity, as the usually clinical space was transformed into an art gallery for the weekend with record-breaking sales.


The exhibition, held in partnership with the Clare Foundation, featured over 80 extremely talented local artists covering a wide range of artistic styles including paintings, sculptures, glasswork, ceramic and jewellery.


At the heart of the exhibition, amidst the kaleidoscope of stunning artworks, was an incredible display of cakes that could only be described as edible masterpieces. The sale of these cakes not only added an extra layer of joy to the event but also contributed significantly to the fundraising efforts.


In total the charity raised over £21,000 which will be used to support its work enabling people affected by MS, Parkinson’s and strokes to live life to the full.


"The fabulous success of our Pop-Up Art Weekend is a testament to the power of community and creativity coming together for a great cause,” said Danielle Medd, Fundraising Manager at the Chilterns Neuro Centre.” I am deeply thankful to our incredible artists for their generosity, and a heartfelt shoutout to our amazing volunteers—this event simply wouldn’t happen without their commitment."

Leicester, UK – Wed 6 March 2024 Cooke is excited to announce the creation of its new Cooke Digital business unit, headed by newly-recruited Jordan Thistlewood (Managing Director, Cooke Digital).


Cooke’s /i Technology has long been recognised as the film industry’s leading lens metadata platform, creating a powerful position in the market and licenced to key partners across the world of cinematography.


Over the last year, Cooke has successfully built on that base with the introduction of Near Real-Time post-production capability in partnership with EZtrack, and has been exploring numerous other opportunities to extend Cooke’s role across the increasingly convergent creative markets from live action capture to animation and gaming.


Building on the foundation established by /i, Cooke will create a range of tools to bring the power and beauty of high-end lenses to digital workflows. Whether that be for virtual scouting and pre-production planning, on-set creative workflows with or without LED walls, virtual cinematography for animation and games, or accelerated workflows for VFX and post-production.


Innovative cine lenses have long been at the heart of Cooke’s success, and the recent launch of the SP3 mirrorless prime lens series has demonstrated Cooke’s ambition to enable creatives across the wider industry to enhance the visual narrative of their stories. A key third strategic focus area, Cooke Digital will leverage the company’s capabilities in a further exciting new direction.


Leading this new chapter for Cooke, Jordan will be based at the new Cooke London location in Fitzrovia, and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of developing software services for post-production, VFX and animation gained at Epic Games and Foundry.

Martha’s Vineyard, March 5, 2024 – Are you an aspiring artist desperate to be creative, yet feeling smothered by all of life's demands? If so, look no further than The Need-Not Artist by Kasha Ritter - a practical guide that transforms obstacles into opportunities and inspires you to embrace the artist you’ve always dreamed of becoming.


In this insightful journey, Kasha Ritter, a full-time mother of three with a non-stop household, shares her personal story of pursuing her artistic passion amid the chaos of daily life. With nine motivating chapters, she dismantles common excuses, providing step-by-step guidance on overcoming obstacles such as housework or daily demands, children, and perceived lack of talent.


“The idea for The Need-Not Artist came to life when I was reading an old journal,” Ritter says. “I had written, ‘I need…..I really need…..I don’t have…..’ in regards to time, space, money, art supplies, skill and understanding. It became obvious to me that the things I thought I needed, I actually needed-not. I wrote this book to help others because I care deeply for their well-being. In the past, people would talk to me about their desire to be artistic and their concerns mirrored mine. I could sense a genuine longing in them which I understood first-hand. I wrote this book as a way to give back and pay it forward. So many people helped me with kind support, encouragement and believing in me when I could not.”


Discover how to carve out creative time for your art and build upon your innate talent. Kasha's wisdom extends beyond creative inspiration, offering coaching on intuition, confidence, and self-investment. Learn to recognize your supporters, cultivate your unique style, and tap into the thriving business side of art without succumbing to the "starving artist" stereotype.


In The Need-Not Artist, you'll find:



Practical advice on time management, marketing, and running your art like a successful business.Motivation to trust your instincts and overcome self-doubt.Insights into building confidence and recognizing the supporters who will champion your artistic journey.

Don't let excuses extinguish your passion. Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner seeking guidance, this book is a must-have, answering every question about getting started and achieving personal success in the world of art, explained in a way that is understandable. Unlock your artistic potential and embrace the creative life you are meant to live with The Need-Not Artist.

<![CDATA[ White Ribbon UK’s response to the Angiolini Inquiry, Part 1 Report ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/white-ribbon-uks-response-to-the-angiolini-inquiry-part-1-report-f68f34301bd3e4431dfe65a356cb875b/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/white-ribbon-uks-response-to-the-angiolini-inquiry-part-1-report-f68f34301bd3e4431dfe65a356cb875b/ Thursday 29 February, 2024

Everyone plays a part in preventing seemingly ‘harmless’ attitudes and behaviour from perpetuating violence against women and girls.



White Ribbon UK welcomes the publication of the Angiolini Inquiry, Part 1 Report on 29th February 2024, and the recommendations set out.


As the leading organisation engaging men and boys to prevent violence against women and girls by challenging harmful attitudes and behaviours, we particularly welcome Recommendation 14 calling on police forces to commit publicly “to being an anti-sexist, anti-misogynistic, anti-racist organisation in order to address, understand and eradicate sexism, racism and misogyny, contributing to a wider positive culture to remove all forms of discrimination from the profession.”


Seemingly ‘harmless’ attitudes and behaviour that are sexist, misogynist and abusive can no longer be qualified as ‘a joke’ or said in a way which ‘means no harm’.


Anthea Sully, Chief Executive of White Ribbon UK shares, “These comments and behaviours perpetuate a culture of violence that all men should be challenging and rejecting. It is men’s responsibility to call out dangerous attitudes and positively influence their friends and colleagues to contribute to a safer society for women.”


Women’s experiences must be listened to and taken seriously. Everyone has the right to live their lives free from the fear of and of actual violence. We are thinking of Sarah Everard’s family and all women affected by men’s violence.


White Ribbon UK are committed to continue working with decision makers and organisations to support positive culture change that rejects misogynist and violent attitudes and behaviours.


We await the publication of Part 2 of the Report.

WynterCon, the largest comic con in Sussex, is back, with a new town and a new venue. Promethean Promotions is proud to present WynterCon XI, coming on Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd of September, 2024!


After entertaining thousands of guests over the past decade at the Winter Garden in Eastbourne, WynterCon will be moving to the stunning East Sussex College - Hastings Station Plaza for our most exciting event yet.


Featuring full-sized movie props, animatronics, authors and artists, vendors, cosplay competitions, gaming, photo opportunities, our always-popular education workshops, and stars from stage and screen, there’s plenty to do for the whole family.


Event Founder Andy Kybett said: “WynterCon’s motto when the first-ever event launched back in 2013 was 'It doesn't matter what world you come from, you're welcome in ours’, and it’s just as relevant - if not more so - today. I’m extremely grateful to East Sussex College for the opportunity to promote this message of inclusivity on a larger scale, and my team and I promise to stage an event that will not only do this magnificent venue justice but raise much-needed funds for a very worthy charity.”


Further information regarding the event, including details of the cosplay competition and special guests, will be released on our website and our Facebook and Instagram accounts, so be sure to check back regularly for more details. Given the location of this new venue and the substantial interest from the college’s students, we expect demand for tickets to be extremely high, so we recommend purchasing early to avoid the disappointment of being turned away. Tickets for WynterCon XI can be purchased here.


The event aims to raise funds and awareness for Sky Creative Sussex. Sky Creative Sussex (Registered Charity Number 1178076) is an award-winning Arts and Education charity that champions eco-awareness and inclusivity. For more information on their mission or to help raise funds, click here.

A ground-breaking play that lifts the lid on domestic abuse is set to take the stage across Lancashire this March.

Produced by Preston's Certain Curtain Theatre Company, a professional Company, renowned for tackling sensitive and controversial subjects. 'LADY IN RED' tells the story of 'Rose' - a woman struggling to break the chains of 'love.'


"Yes, It's a hard-hitting subject." says co-writer John Woudberg "But it's also a compelling drama in its own right. It has tension, humour and a gritty yet beautiful language. People are saying 'LADY IN RED' is an experience they will never forget. Theatre should tackle the darker side of life - it's not all 'Cats' and teacups - it's raw and beautiful - it's real and its relevant"


Lady In Red - combines superb dialogue, a compelling plot, inspired performance and evocative colours to create an unforgettable experience - a journey through one woman's attempts to leave an abusive relationship.


"Domestic abuse is something we all need to understand if we want to create real change. If you have three female friends – statistically one of them will experience domestic abuse” – says actor Claire Moore, “Our play helps the audience answer the 'Why doesn't she just leave?' question and gives them a chance to find out what really goes on behind closed doors. I believe theatre can challenge AND entertain its audiences – it gives us a chance to experience other people's lives – LADY IN RED is no different."


Researched by talking to survivors 'LADY IN RED' will be performed at 

The Artz Centre, Hartland, Skelmersdale Thurs 7th March - 7pm Free Tickets can be booked HERE The New Continental, South Meadow Lane, Preston Wed 13th March 7.30pm - Free tickets can be booked HERE Thornton Little Theatre, Fleetwood Road North, Thornton Cleveleys Wed 20th March 7.30pm Free tickets can be booked HERE

Tickets are free thanks to the support of a crowdfund campaign on Spacehive, The Lancashire Police Crime Commissioner and Lancashire County Council.

New dates in Burnley and Chorley to be announced soon - see Certain Curtain's website for updates

<![CDATA[ Cardiff Council to Close Barrage to Residents and Visitors ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/cardiff-council-to-close-barrage-to-residents-and-visitors-b1cbcf60ac727ef7e6fe4774f5bf6bc8/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/cardiff-council-to-close-barrage-to-residents-and-visitors-b1cbcf60ac727ef7e6fe4774f5bf6bc8/ Tuesday 6 February, 2024

Cardiff Council's recent approval of hosting Livenation concerts at Alexandra Head during the busiest week of the year has sparked widespread concern among local residents and businesses. The decision, impacting the last week of August, will see the closure of the barrage not only on concert days but also during setup, disrupting the daily routines of residents and hindering the usual flow of visitors to the area contradicting the council's strategy to encourage walking and cycling. 


In 2023, the concerts were held in the first week of September after the school holidays allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the picturesque surroundings without disruption. However, the 2024 decision to close the barrage in August and from midday for security reasons, even though the concerts start at 9 pm, has raised eyebrows and ignited a wave of frustration among the local community.


While acknowledging the positive impact of hosting concerts, local businesses express their concern over the timing of the events. The busiest week in Cardiff Bay traditionally enjoys a surge in visitors due to favourable weather conditions, making it unnecessary to introduce additional events during this period. Instead, local businesses are urging the Council to consider scheduling such events involving closing the barrage in the shoulder months of March, September, and October, when the potential economic benefits can be maximised without disrupting the peak summer season.


The decision to close the barrage not only affects the residents and visitors seeking leisure and exercise opportunities but also poses a significant challenge to local businesses that rely on the regular influx of customers during the summer months. Concerns have been raised about the impact on restaurants and hotels, with the fear that the usual summer clientele will be diverted to concert attendees, ultimately leading to a detrimental effect on revenue.


Martyn Driscoll of Cardiff Cruises remarked, "This is a full-on ball to the face made sweeter by an own goal. People of Cardiff should be more outraged about this and not allow the concerts to take place on these dates, it's completely hypocritical from Cardiff Council who say they want to encourage walking and cycling and then close the only public road in the city not accessed by traffic. Small businesses, striving to make a living, are often taken for granted and pushed aside, I was prepared to accept the drop in revenue caused by the concerts in September knowing it benefits other businesses around me, but this changes everything, we will lose thousands of pounds from loss of trade. This is plain selfish greed from Livenation and Cardiff Council have enabled them, you wouldn't close Barry Island beach which is a public space and the Barrage should be no different! How can the council bang on about having no money when their own revenue producing car parks will be empty at the height of summer? How can they justify their strategy to get residents walking and cycling and issuing parking zones throughout the city yet close the barrage on the days when we are most likely to use it? ” 


Attempts to address these concerns with the Council have yielded a response indicating collaboration with event promoters and local businesses to minimise disruption and maximise economic benefits. However, local business owners argue that the proposed solution, represented by a simple "businesses open as usual" sign, is inadequate and fails to address the broader issues at hand.


The discontent among the local community is reminiscent of similar instances, such as the scheduling conflicts during Ironman in Tenby and clashes between the game between Cardiff Rugby V Scarlets on the same day as Wales V Barbarians. The recurring theme of neglecting small businesses during crucial times is a cause for concern, and the affected parties are calling for a reconsideration of the decision and a more inclusive approach in planning future events.


Local businesses are mobilising efforts to voice their concerns and seek a resolution that supports both the cultural vibrancy of the area and the economic sustainability of small enterprises.

<![CDATA[ UK’s newest influencer management agency makes its clients millions ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/uks-newest-influencer-management-agency-makes-its-clients-millions-91149a917f70272c951028884a2dccb3/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/uks-newest-influencer-management-agency-makes-its-clients-millions-91149a917f70272c951028884a2dccb3/ Friday 2 February, 2024

Britain’s newest influencer management agency has made its clients millions since it launched last year.


The Rebel Agency has also opened the UK’s first Playboy Mansion-style content creation mansion – and is on the way to expanding its brand and content hubs in the US and beyond.


It has also launched the ‘Rebel Island’, where creators can create content worth fortunes in exotic locations.


The agency’s mission is to provide a safe space for the world’s best digital creators to maximise their profits individually and as a collective.


It does this by:

• Providing creators with an in-house mental health specialist• Giving them access to our Accounting4Creators finance service• Bringing them together as a communityRebel’s CEO is Jordan Smith, a 29-year-old digital entrepreneur with eight years’ marketing experience who has worked with brands including Love Island and Red Bull. 

He said: “Our Rebel creators don’t want to be constrained by the idea of working 9–5 jobs – hence the name. 

“And we want to give them space to do this as safely as possible. 

“We have turned our clients into the top 1% of earners on platforms including Instagram and OnlyFans, and this is only the start for them and the agency.” 

Rebel’s clients include scores of social media’s highest earners, and it is currently focusing our efforts on nurturing its growing community of OnlyFans creators. 

Rebel has steered many of its clients from having virtually zero subscribers to becoming part of the top 1 per cent of all OnlyFans creators. 

In the last six months, its rise and clients have been covered in outlets including the New York Post, Yahoo, the Daily Star, Mail Online and The Sun. 

Jordan added: “Our clients have had their lives changed, with most being able to ditch the 9-5 grind as their content creation makes them six – and seven – figure annual salaries. “Most have bought their own properties in their early 20s – and some have paid off their parents’ mortgages and debts.” 

Rebel’s clients are regularly brought together for its content generation days, held in stately homes and glamorous locations around the world. 

They allow the company’s community to get together and create weeks’ worth of content in a few days – separately and as a collective. 

Rebel also offers an accounting service that shows its clients how – and where – to invest their earnings at a time when many online creators are struggling to find a bank to house their earnings from the platform, despite its top earners reaching eye-watering earnings of up to £20million per month. 

Jordan added: “Our influencers agency focuses on creating a safe space and caring community for creators. 

“We have an in-house mental health specialist available to them for regular check- ins to ensure they are keeping themselves healthy and safe amid the pressures of their job. 

“They can easily be sucked into a 24/7 cycle of content creation and answering fans and sponsorship demands, and we give them a blueprint for creating a work/life balance. 

“The Rebel Agency also gives them personal financial guidance through legitimately paying taxes, supporting with budgeting and setting up a limited company through our accounting service Accounting4Creators. 

“It also guides them to create a strong financial future. 

“Our ethos is creating as safe a space as possible for our clients while maximising their income – and having fun along the way.” 

Jordan started his career in public relations and sales in Mallorca during summer holidays from university, before he launched his first marketing agency in 2015. 

He won social enterpriser of the year award at Sheffield Hallam University for his online Defeat The Street campaign to help the homeless. 

Jordan went on to create the tech start-up STARDM, which raised over £1million in funding. 

He was also the co-founder of the Tsunam1 influencer club, which hosts influencer parties and has partnered with brands such as Love Island and Red Bull. 

His Rebel agency was born from his frustration at seeing content creators treated as money-generating commodities by influencer agencies, instead of as creatives whose careers need nurturing. 

Contact rebelcontent@rebelagency.co.uk about your content needs and interview requests with Jordan and our clients and we will immediately get back to you.

<![CDATA[ The Largest Gathering of The Iconic Routemaster Double-Decker Bus in London at RM70 ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/the-largest-gathering-of-the-iconic-routemaster-double-decker-bus-in-london-at-rm70-307c52cd13f30e0c7ae29d5b3495bb6e/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/the-largest-gathering-of-the-iconic-routemaster-double-decker-bus-in-london-at-rm70-307c52cd13f30e0c7ae29d5b3495bb6e/ Friday 2 February, 2024

In 2024, the very first Routemaster bus, RM1, will be seventy years old and to commemorate this significant anniversary the Routemaster Association will be staging RM70 a special free event at Chiswick Park in London over the weekend of the 20th and 21st July 2024.


Now mostly in private hands many surviving buses will be attending this family event. Visitors will be able to enjoy free rides on the buses between the event site and the London Transport Museum in Acton and for photographers the event presents a unique photo opportunity with a line-up of 70 Routemasters on display.


Ten years ago in 2014 The Routemaster Association held RM60 in Finsbury Park, this event attracted thousands of visitors. Over 130 Routemasters attended with some buses travelling to the event from Europe.


Chiswick Park was chosen for RM70 due to the site’s historical connection with the Routemaster bus. Before today’s modern business park was built the site was home to one of London Transport’s main bus overhaul works and was famous for being the place where trainee drivers were put through their paces on its impressive skid pan.

<![CDATA[ Sex On the Wrong Brain Book, Website Suggest Sexism, Bigotry, and Authoritarianism Can be Reduced With a Simple Lesson in Sex Education ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/sex-on-the-wrong-brain-book-website-suggest-sexism-bigotry-and-authoritarianism-can-be-reduced-with-a-simple-lesson-in-sex-education-598adf41d05ea84b108a77c6fc1c0ff0/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/sex-on-the-wrong-brain-book-website-suggest-sexism-bigotry-and-authoritarianism-can-be-reduced-with-a-simple-lesson-in-sex-education-598adf41d05ea84b108a77c6fc1c0ff0/ Thursday 1 February, 2024

The provocative theory presented in the book “Sex On the Wrong Brain” as well as website and screenplay of the same name suggests recent worldwide increases in racism, misogyny, and anti-democratic extremism blamed on COVID pandemic lockdowns and isolation are fueled by misplaced reproductive energy.



“When the health agencies of New York City and Australian states NSW and Queensland suggested masturbation as a safe sex alternative during the COVID pandemic they should have specified which hand to use,” says author Ard Falten.



Sex on the wrong brain, or SOWB, is presented as a unified theory of thought and behavior based on the simple premise that it makes a difference which hand humans learn sex with. The theory alleges that using the right hand has caused thousands of years of greed, authoritarianism, patriarchy, and war, and is responsible for the mentality that now threatens Earth with global warming.



“COVID-19 was a mass sex on the wrong brain event,” says the author. “Social distancing and lock-downs did what authoritarians always do. Whether it’s Texas or Russia, the Roman or British empires, Nazi Germany, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, or the Taliban, the underlying purpose to repress sex and control women and reproductive rights is to increase frustration in the right handed men that authoritarian leaders need to serve them.”



According to the theory using the right hand, which is connected to the left brain hemisphere, associates impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive urges with left brain-dominant thinking that should be patient and objective.



The website claims that when reproductive energy fuels mental processes such as problem solving and logic it pushes for quick easy answers, premature conclusion, and the closure of certainty. It explains that as the need for certainty increases so does the stress and fear caused by sources of uncertainty.



The website points out authoritarianism is closely associated with fear of uncertainty and is sometimes measured with the Uncertainty Avoidance Index. The site introduces the Certainty Deficit Disorder (CDD) as a symptom of sex on the wrong brain and blames it for a wide spectrum of extreme and anti-democratic behavior humans use to reduce and control uncertainty and create certainty. 



The dynamic between certainty and uncertainty is used to explain authoritarianism:



As the need for certainty increases so does fear of sources of uncertainty, such as change, diversity, unpredictability, disorder, and nature.

Authoritarian leaders are required to be certain, confident, decisive, and always right, qualities followers equate with intelligence and strength.
As chaos and uncertainty increase so does the value of the certitude projected by authoritarian leaders and their symbols and organizations.
Authoritarian leaders and ideologies create certainty with order and control and by simplifying the world into binary absolutes such as right and wrong and good and evil, fueling intolerance, bigotry, and extremism.
Complex problems and issues that generate uncertainty, like global warming and immigraton, are typically oversimplified or ignored.
The website claims that associating sex with punishment and guilt helps authoritarians establish thought patterns that redirect reproductive energy to reward and justify creation of non-existent certainty and that can promote deceit, denial, hypocrisy, and sexual dysfunction.

Authoritarians learn to prioritize certainty over truth.


The sexonthewrongbrain.com website explains:



How SOWB increases greed and sexual dysfunction.
Factors that effect SOWB levels include ancestry, gender, libido, frustration, culture, religion, etc.
Why females generally have less SOWB.

That SOWB can worsen with age as SOWB based thought patterns become entrenched and opportunities for real sex diminish.
People descended from older civilizations generally have more SOWB.
People with more SOWB can perceive people with less SOWB as inferior or threatening, contributing to misogyny and bigotry.
Culture, social stratification, discrimination, and religion have been used to increase SOWB.
SOWB can trigger violence and mental health issues.
Why human ancestors evolved from 50% to 90% right handed.
SOWB levels were low for 99% of human evolution but increased significantly in recent centuries as civilizations increased sexual repression.
Evolutionary implications and possibilities for research.


The author suggests understanding the importance of sex on the wrong brain in human thought and history might make artificial intelligence less dangerous.



“Artificial intelligence can reflect human biases and overconfidence. While AIs don’t have hands and reproductive organs, their developers do,” says the author. “Overconfident AIs can be dangerous and that is why uncertainty quantification, or UQ, plays an important role in AI decision making and predictions. AIs can be very certain and very wrong and for medical diagnosis or a self-driving car, for instance, mistakes can be deadly.”



To reach a wider audience the book and a screenplay weave the SOWB theory and implications into a science fiction adventure comedy set in a near future threatened by global warming. The book was reviewed by Simon Barrett: “Yes, I like ‘Sex On the Wrong Brain’ a lot. If you like Douglas Adams and don’t mind a few ‘smutty’ bits, you will enjoy this book.” The screenplay has been selected as a finalist in various contests.



The book Sex On the Wrong Brain is available from major online book retailers, including Amazon.

<![CDATA[ New Movie God Versus UFOs States That Some Members Of The US & UK Governments Think That UFOS Are Actually Demons! ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/new-movie-god-versus-ufos-states-that-some-members-of-the-us-uk-governments-think-that-ufos-are-actually-demons-8c67b1da6c4779ca42a2affc5afd1a3c/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/new-movie-god-versus-ufos-states-that-some-members-of-the-us-uk-governments-think-that-ufos-are-actually-demons-8c67b1da6c4779ca42a2affc5afd1a3c/ Saturday 27 January, 2024

GOD VERSUS UFOS - A NEW FILM ABOUT THE PARANORMAL SIDE OF UFOS


NOW ON YOUTUBE WATCH HERE:


https://youtu.be/PdsX2JBTSjU?si=FeNjVQMRzBc0X4lWBy award winning film-maker of God Versus Aliens - a hit film on Tubi in the US.


Stars - Prof Avi Loeb (Harvard), Nick Pope (from hit TV show Ancient Aliens), Yvette Fielding (Most Haunted), Guy Thompson (presenter), Evelyn Hollow (BBC’s Uncanny), Ian Broadmore (Demonologist), John Hanson (Great British UFO Learning Centre), Rev Daniel Thompson & Philip Kinsella (author).


This documentary explores the other worldly aspect of UFOs looking at wether there are links with the paranormal or whether science and the mysterious world of quantum physics can explain the phenomena?


It also looks at the religious and spiritual side of UFOs with many in the British and US Governments sincerely believing that UFOS are demonic or satanic in origin. It also looks into Project Blue Beam which is a conspiracy theory alleging that the deep state or Illuminati are planning to use cutting edge holographic technology to create a false flag Alien Invasion or a fake flag second coming of Christ. The aim is put populations into fear and to usher in a One World Government.


Nick Pope who used to work for the UK's Ministry Of Defence in their UFO department states int the film:


"So, as crazy as it might sound to some, for example, there is a faction within, particularly the US government, but I've seen it in the UK as well, who believe that UFOs are demonic.


And they get this, in a large part, from a passage in the Bible in the book of Ephesians, which talks about Satan in terms of being, "The prince of the power of the air." And this faction, through that and maybe some other things too, have convinced themselves that this or some of this may be demonic, and therefore they say that you shouldn't engage with it, you shouldn't study it, because that feeds it energy."


The film also looks at those who have claimed to have manifested the appearance of UFOS simply by using their own minds. It’s called Close Encounters of the 5th Kind. John Hanson a retired CID detective and now owner of The Great British UFO Learning Centre states that he and a group of friends actually manifested Orb like UFOs whilst meditation in Rendelsham Forest which was actually the site of one of the most famous UK UFO landings back in 1980.


We also speak with renowned Demonologist Ian Broadmore who worked alongside Rev Paul Ingolsby on Admiral Lord Hill Norton’s report into UFOs which stated that they were demonic in origin.


The film is out now and free to watch for a limited time on YouTube
