Skepta, Jammer, D Double E , Kano and more feature in the film by award-winning director and photographer Ewen Spencer
EWEN SPENCER
A new music documentary exploring the early years and development of grime in the UK is now available to stream on iPlayer as part of BBC Four's Storyville series.
8 Bar: The Evolution of Grime features a number of pioneers credited with pushing the sound of East London to the world, including Skepta, Kano, Dizzee Rascal, Jammer, D Double E, Slimzee and DJ Target. Made up of rare archive footage and recent interviews, it charts how a DIY culture emerged on pirate radio stations and at basement raves, sowing the seeds for iconic singles, albums and fashion that would define Britain in the first decade of the 21st Century.
Praised for its vivid, high energy scenes, which span mic battles in residential tower blocks to appearances on Top of the Pops and stages at Glastonbury festival, the story begins with jungle and garage setting the stage for grime, before formative era crews such as the Pay As U Go Cartel are introduced. It also explores the culture's self-sufficient economics, born from lack of resources, and demonisation at the hands of media, politicians and authorities as artists began to break into the mainstream.
8 Bar: The Evolution of Grime was originally screened as part of the 2021 London Film Festival. Directed by filmmaker and photographer Ewen Spencer, his previous projects have included Street, Sound and Style, looking at youth style and music from 1980 to present day, Brandy & Coke and UKG respectively a film and book focused on UK garage, and his award-winning 2005 picture book, Open Mic, one of the earliest long-form journalistic celebrations of grime.
Watch a trailer for the documentary below and revisit DJ Mag's recent feature on the revival of dubplate culture in genres such as grime. The full video is available here.

Disappointed holidaymakers whose EU travel plans were ruined when they were caught out by the "10-year-passport rule" have been speaking to the BBC.
Until 2018, UK travellers could transfer up to nine months from an old passport on to a new one. But post-Brexit, EU countries will not accept passports more than 10 years old.
Those who were unaware of the change were turned away by passport control.
Some were able to rebook trips, but no one we spoke to was reimbursed.
Jane Opher, 61, in London, said she was "traumatised" after being told she and her partner couldn't board their flight to Barcelona at Gatwick in February, even though they'd checked in online.
"I was just saying to my partner that I must renew my passport soon, as we walked along the bridge to get to the boarding gate. It was very stressful and humiliating to have to be escorted back through the airport like a criminal," she said.
Jane, who used to live in Barcelona and was travelling to see friends, was left hundreds of pounds out of pocket after having to rearrange the trip with her partner.
The architect spent about £400 on last minute replacement flights and a fast tracked passport.
She says the issue with her passport was "a technicality" the airlines should be able to deal with.
"I feel lucky I was going on holiday and it wasn't an urgent visit like a funeral.
"As someone who used to live in Spain, I feel angry that I cannot go to Spain as easily as I used to," she added.

The effects of human-caused global warming are happening now, are irreversible for people alive today, and will worsen as long as humans add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
TAKEAWAYS
The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions, and an increase in the wind intensity and rainfall from tropical cyclones.

Global climate change is not a future problem. Changes to Earth’s climate driven by increased human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are already having widespread effects on the environment: glaciers and ice sheets are shrinking, river and lake ice is breaking up earlier, plant and animal geographic ranges are shifting, and plants and trees are blooming sooner.
Effects that scientists had long predicted would result from global climate change are now occurring, such as sea ice loss, accelerated sea level rise, and longer, more intense heat waves.
"The magnitude and rate of climate change and associated risks depend strongly on near-term mitigation and adaptation actions, and projected adverse impacts and related losses and damages escalate with every increment of global warming."- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Some changes (such as droughts, wildfires, and extreme rainfall) are happening faster than scientists previously assessed. In fact, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — the United Nations body established to assess the science related to climate change — modern humans have never before seen the observed changes in our global climate, and some of these changes are irreversible over the next hundreds to thousands of years.
Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for many decades, mainly due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities.
Frank Hester has admitted making ‘rude’ comments about the politician but said they had ‘nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin’
The Conservatives came under growing pressure to sever ties with a major donor who reportedly said Diane Abbott MP made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”.
Frank Hester, chief executive of The Phoenix Partnership (TPP), has admitted making “rude” comments, which were first reported by The Guardian, and said he is “deeply sorry”.
But he insisted they had “nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin”.
A Conservative spokeswoman laid out’s the party’s response to the storm, saying: “Mr Hester has made clear that while he was rude, his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor the colour of her skin.
“He has since apologised.”
But Tory peer Lord Barwell, who was No10 chief of staff to Theresa May, tweeted: “This is an absurd line. First Hester didn’t offer any “criticism” of Diane Abbott’s views; he described his reaction to seeing her on TV. And second what he said clearly had something to do with her gender and the colour of her skin because he referenced both of them.”
Labour, the Liberal Democrats and at least one former Tory minister are calling on the Tories to return the money Mr Hester has donated to the party, if the allegations against him are correct.
Former Conservative Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt messaged: “If true, and it appears to be, it is open and shut for the Conservative Party. Return the donations, end the relationship and ask decent donors to make up the difference.
“With MPs under threat, and past murders, this is unacceptable. Many Conservative members will be watching.”
Mr Hester donated £10 million to the Tories last year, according to Electoral Commission records.
Frank Hester accepts that he was rude about Diane Abbot in a private meeting several years ago but his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin
STATEMENT VIA THE PHOENIX PARTNERSHIP
He individually donated £5 million to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party in May and gave another £5 million via his healthcare software firm in November.
The Guardian reported that Mr Hester’s remarks about Ms Abbott were made in 2019, meaning that they likely occurred when she was shadow home secretary under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The newspaper reported that during a meeting at his Leeds company headquarters, Mr Hester, having previously criticised an executive at another organisation, went on to discuss Ms Abbott, the first black woman elected to Parliament.
He reportedly said: “It’s like trying not to be racist but you see Diane Abbott on the TV, and you’re just like… you just want to hate all black women because she’s there.
“And I don’t hate all black women at all, but I think she should be shot.
“(The executive) and Diane Abbott need to be shot.”
In a statement released via his firm, Mr Hester said he had rung Ms Abbott on Monday to “apologise directly for the hurt he has caused her”.
The statement said: “Frank Hester accepts that he was rude about Diane Abbott in a private meeting several years ago but his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin.
“The Guardian is right when it quotes Frank saying he abhors racism, not least because he experienced it as the child of Irish immigrants in the 1970s.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/14/jamaican-musician-vybz-kartel-conviction-quashed#img-1
Dancehall star was sentenced to life in prison in 2014 for the murder of an associate
ReutersThu 14 Mar 2024 18.19 GMTShare
The Jamaican musician Vybz Kartel’s conviction for the murder of an associate more than a decade ago has been quashed, with a London court ruling that attempts to bribe the trial jury meant the conviction was unsafe.
The dancehall star, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is one of Jamaica’s most popular artists and has collaborated with performers such as Jay-Z and Rihanna.
Kartel, 48, has been in jail in Jamaica since 2011 over the disappearance of his associate Clive “Lizard” Williams, whose body has never been found.
After a 65-day trial, one of the longest in Jamaican history, Kartel and three others were convicted in 2014. Kartel was sentenced to life imprisonmentwith a minimum of 35 years, later reduced on appeal to 32 and a half.
Last month, Kartel and his co-defendants mounted their final possible appeal at the judicial committee of the privy council in London, the final court of appeal for Jamaica and some other Commonwealth countries.
Their lawyers argued the trial judge wrongly handled allegations that one juror offered J$500,000 (£2,500; $3,200) to fellow jurors to return not guilty verdicts.
The defendants’ appeals were allowed on Thursday, with Lord Lloyd-Jones saying the trial judge’s decision to allow the juror alleged to have offered bribes to continue on the jury was “fatal to the safety of the convictions”.
The privy council sent the case back to the court of appeal in Jamaica to decide whether Kartel and his co-defendants should stand trial again.

IMAGE SOURCE, NEW BLACK FILMS/VICTOR CRAWSHAW/MARINA AMARALImage caption, The English players and manager took part without the permission of the footballing authorities
By Ian YoungsEntertainment & arts reporter
In 1971, an unofficial women's football World Cup attracted crowds of more than 100,000, but was quickly erased from history. Now a new film tells the remarkable story of the tournament, and the disappointment that followed.
For the English players, landing in Mexico was like being "launched into a parallel universe", captain Carol Wilson recalls.
She and other female footballers were used to being obstructed, overlooked and ridiculed at home. They played on park pitches to handfuls of spectators. A ban on the women's game had only just been lifted by the Football Association after 50 years.
So the players were unprepared for the reception they received in the tournament's host country.

Wolverhampton is to host the 2025 Kabaddi World Cup Final, after being awarded £500,000 from the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and government’s Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund. Originating in India some 5,000 years ago, the contact sport sees teams broken down into raiders and blockers, with the aim of scoring points by entering opposition territory, tagging an opponent and making it back into their own half without being tackled to the ground.

It’s one of the first things we’re told when getting into physical activity. But why is pacing yourself so important?
The old proverb says ‘no pain, no gain’. But struggling on if you’re in pain can actually be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.
In fact, this attitude of pushing through regardless can cause flare ups in pain or fatigue, leaving you debilitated, demotivated and possibly depressed. It might be days or weeks before you can have another go, and this time around, pain may come even earlier due to increased sensitivities in your tissues, which ultimately leads to a decrease in your overall activity levels. This is known as the boom-bust cycle.
That’s why pacing yourself is so important, because it allows you to continue physical activity without being hampered by pain and/or fatigue. Pacing yourself means listening to your body and knowing your limits, adjusting things where needed and gradually increasing over time, so you can get back to the things you enjoy.
Pacing isn’t only relevant to exercise either, you should also pace yourself when doing day-to-day activities such as shopping, cleaning or gardening.
It’s important to note that when it comes to long-term conditions or ill health, recovery is not a straight line; it’s quite normal to have good and bad days. But just ensure you don’t overdo things on good days.
Successful pacing will create a balance between your energy and activity levels, increase your confidence with exercise, maintain your motivation with activity, reduce pain and increase your endurance, both muscular and cardiovascular.
To know what pacing means for you, you need to know how much activity you can do before a flare up occurs, which we call your baseline level. This is different for everyone and depends on you, your condition, your existing fitness and any other factors that affect your physical health.
Let’s use an everyday example to work out our baseline. Arthur has fibromyalgia, and wants to vacuum his whole house, which takes roughly 50 minutes, but he’s never finished without having a flare up. He’s not sure, but he thinks 30 minutes would cause a flare up, thinking he might be able to manage 20 minutes. He knows for sure that he could manage 15 minutes. Therefore 15 minutes is his baseline. (You can repeat this process for every activity and measure your baseline in distance or number of repetitions you can do.)
We won’t be able to make progress if we only ever stay at our baseline though, which is why we should aim to make small improvements over time. A gradual increase in the frequency, intensity, time, weight or distance is required for successful pacing. You could also try a gradual decrease in rest time.
Whatever it is, just make sure you’re comfortable with the adjustment before you increase further. And you don’t need to increase things every day or even every week or month. You could increase activity by 30 seconds in six weeks, that’s still progress. Just go at your own pace.
Here are some tips for successful pacing.

https://partner.co/s/MGE4NmQyNDAy
Positive reviews› DomiNav5.0 out of 5 starsHIGHLY Reduced My Seasonal Allergies!!!!!Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015I was not sure about trying this at first. My mom had been taking Noni for a few years and telling me that it helped her energy level and allergies. I thought that she was getting benefits from Noni out of "faith in it". Back then it sounded too good to be true....now I wish I would have listened too her and tried it sooner!
At my regular Chiropractic visit one day I was complaining about my allergies and sinus pressure. I mentioned to my Chiro that I was taking a cocktail of medicine each day to to keep the symptoms tolerable.
He mentioned that he used to do the same, until he started taking Noni. He has been taking Noni shots everyday for 7 years! He swore by it and said that he hardly ever needs allergy meds. now. I was sold! I knew that it was no coincidence that my mom and my Chiro definitely felt better!
He told me to go find the Noni by Morinda. I found the best price here on Amazon $120.00/4bottles (40.00 Savings) and started taking it right away! This was a couple of months ago and I have been taking it ever since. My allergies are 75% better now and getting better by the day! I can really feel it if I miss a Noni dose! I highly recommend it on an empty stomach. If you have seasonal allergies you will see results in about 1 month... so stick with it!
You will have an overall feeling of wellness right away!

Lizzo has said she is "quitting" because she is fed up of being targeted for her looks and character online.
In a post on Instagram, the US pop star wrote: "I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."
She did not clarify if this meant she was leaving the music industry or social media.
"I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet," Lizzo wrote.
Her post comes a day after a lawyer representing her former dancers criticised the decision to choose the pop star to headline a fundraising event amid accusations made against her last year.
The dancers' allegations included sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, which Lizzo has denied.
"All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it,"Lizzo wrote in her social media post.
The Good as Hell singer, 35, said she was "constantly up against lies" which she said were being told about her for "clout & views".
She added she felt she was "the butt of the joke every single time" because of how she looks, and that her character was being "picked apart" by people who don't know her.
"I didn't sign up for this," she concluded. "I quit."
Stars were quick to show their support for Lizzo. Commenting on her post, reality TV star and entrepreneur Paris Hilton wrote: "We love you queen."
Destiny's Child singer LeToya Luckett added: "You are deeply loved."
Lizzo is known for celebrating her body and self-love, but has also spoken out in the past about hurtful online comments about her looks.
In May last year, she said she had received a new wave of body-shaming comments on X, formerly Twitter, that included speculation about her diet and whether she eats a lot of fast food.
"Y'all don't know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting," she wrote at the time.
Last August, three of her former dancers sued Lizzo over claims including sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez are the former dancers bringing the case against the singer, her dance captain and her production company.
The legal action includes accusations of sexual, religious and racial harassment, discrimination, assault and false imprisonment.
Lizzo is also accused of fat-shaming Ms Davis on tour.
The singer - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - said the allegations were "false" and as "unbelievable as they sound".
Lizzo was last seen on Thursday where she performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York for a fundraiser for US President Joe Biden.
Lawyer Ron Zambrano, who represents the three former dancers, reportedly told NewsNation: "It's shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations."
BBC News has contacted Lizzo's agent for comment.

The Church Commissioners for England has learned from research it commissioned that Queen Anne’s Bounty, a predecessor fund of the Church Commissioners’ endowment, had links with African chattel enslavement.
The Church Commissioners is deeply sorry for its predecessor fund’s links with African chattel enslavement.
The Church Commissioners wants to learn about its past better to understand its present and continue to support the Church of England’s work and mission in the future as best it can. In 2019 the Church Commissioners decided to conduct research into the source of the endowment fund to gain an improved understanding of its history. We worked with forensic accountants and academics to analyse early ledgers and other original documents from Queen Anne’s Bounty. This phase of the research is now complete, and the report is publicly available. The press release can be found here.
The full report provides details of the findings of this research. An interim report published in 2022 provided a high-level overview of the findings. The press release about the interim report can be found here.

Jamaican Dance Steps, contributed by Tracie Blake.
Our ancestral heritage derives mainly from Africa. And you know, the Africans are a vibrant and physically expressive people, so not only are the dances for fun, they are also a medium of self expression.
Thanks to a strong culture, many of the traditional dances were passed on to us, but there are many new, contemporary dances that has been rocking Jamaican dancehall, and Jamaica in general for the last few decades. Old or new, emphasis is usually placed on body movements, rhythm and beat.
The early stages of Jamaican Dance Moves started with the Dinki Mini and Bruckins Parties which are now mainly practiced at Independence/Emancipation time.
These are processional dances where all participants dress up in costumes and the dance moves are performed in a uniformed way depicting naturally exhumed choreography. Over the years, these foundations have remained but evolved and progressed into new dances which are a graze worldwide.
After these dances came the ska (fast movements of the hips and flailing of the arms between the legs) and rock steady (slow movements of the hips and arms being held close to the body) which has culminated into dance hall moves consisting of a vast combination of movements.
Here are a few of today's contemporary Jamaican dance hall moves:

Well, although not to 'new' anymore, it is still a favourite. The dancer points the hands toward the air in a flailing steady motion while moving the body back and forth in a snake-like movement.
Heel-And-Toe
This dance involves jumping slightly off the ground and landing with your right foot directly in front of your left foot with one foot landing on the heel and the other on the toe and pivoting in a circle with the arms and upper torso moving to the rhythm of the music.
Here are some of the expected effects of global climate change on the United States, according to the Third and Fourth National Climate Assessment Reports.
Global sea level has risen about 8 inches (0.2 meters) since reliable record-keeping began in 1880. By 2100, scientists project that it will rise at least another foot (0.3 meters), but possibly as high as 6.6 feet (2 meters) in a high-emissions scenario. Sea level is rising because of added water from melting land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
Global climate is projected to continue warming over this century and beyond.
Scientists project that hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates will increase as the climate continues to warm.
Droughts in the Southwest and heat waves (periods of abnormally hot weather lasting days to weeks) are projected to become more intense, and cold waves less intense and less frequent.
Warming temperatures have extended and intensified wildfire season in the West, where long-term drought in the region has heightened the risk of fires. Scientists estimate that human-caused climate change has already doubled the area of forest burned in recent decades. By around 2050, the amount of land consumed by wildfires in Western states is projected to further increase by two to six times. Even in traditionally rainy regions like the Southeast, wildfires are projected to increase by about 30%.
Climate change is having an uneven effect on precipitation (rain and snow) in the United States, with some locations experiencing increased precipitation and flooding, while others suffer from drought. On average, more winter and spring precipitation is projected for the northern United States, and less for the Southwest, over this century.
The length of the frost-free season, and the corresponding growing season, has been increasing since the 1980s, with the largest increases occurring in the western United States. Across the United States, the growing season is projected to continue to lengthen, which will affect ecosystems and agriculture.
Summer of 2023 was Earth's hottest summer on record, 0.41 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (0.23 degrees Celsius (C)) warmer than any other summer in NASA’s record and 2.1 degrees F (1.2 C) warmer than the average summer between 1951 and 1980.
Sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean is expected to continue decreasing, and the Arctic Ocean will very likely become essentially ice-free in late summer if current projections hold. This change is expected to occur before mid-century.

Noni juice has a number of potential benefits. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that research into this fruit is relatively recent — and more studies are needed on many of these health effects.
Noni juice may reduce cellular damage — particularly from tobacco smoke.
Exposure to tobacco smoke generates dangerous amounts of free radicals. Excessive amounts can cause cellular damage and lead to oxidative stress (14Trusted Source).
Oxidative stress is associated with many ailments, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Studies show that consuming foods rich in antioxidants may reduce oxidative stress (15Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source).
In one study, heavy tobacco smokers were given 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice per day. After 1 month, they experienced a 30% reduction of two common free radicals compared to their baseline levels (19Trusted Source).
Tobacco smoke is also known to cause cancer. Certain chemicals from tobacco smoke may bind to cells in your body and lead to tumor growth (13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source).
Noni juice may reduce levels of these cancer-causing chemicals. Two clinical trials found that drinking 4 ounces (118 ml) of noni juice daily for 1 month reduced the levels of cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smokers by about 45% (13Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).
Yet, noni juice does not negate all of smoking’s negative health effects — and should not be considered a replacement for quitting.
Noni juice may support heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.
Cholesterol has many important functions in your body, but certain types in excess may increase your risk of heart disease — as may chronic inflammation (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
One study found that drinking up to 6.4 ounces (188 ml) of noni juice per day for 1 month significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and the inflammatory blood marker C-reactive protein (24Trusted Source).
However, the subjects of the study were heavy cigarette smokers, so the results cannot be generalized to all people. Researchers suspect that noni juice’s antioxidants may reduce the high cholesterol levels caused by smoking tobacco (24Trusted Source).
A separate, 30-day study gave non-smokers 2 ounces (59 ml) of noni juice twice daily. Participants did not experience significant changes in cholesterol levels (25).
These results suggest that the cholesterol-lowering effect of noni juice may only apply to heavy cigarette smokers.
That said, more research on noni juice and cholesterol is needed.
Noni juice may improve physical endurance. In fact, Pacific Islanders believed that eating noni fruit strengthened the body during long fishing trips and voyages (9Trusted Source).
A few studies show positive effects of drinking noni juice during exercise.
For example, one 3-week study gave long-distance runners 3.4 ounces (100 ml) of noni juice or a placebo twice daily. The group that drank noni juice experienced a 21% increase in average time to fatigue, which suggests improved endurance (26).
Other human and animal research reports similar findings for using noni juice to combat fatigueand improve endurance (9Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
The increase in physical endurance associated with noni juice is likely related to its antioxidants — which may reduce the damage to muscle tissue that normally occurs during exercise (9Trusted Source).
For over 2,000 years, noni fruit has been used in traditional folk medicine for its pain-relieving effects. Some research now supports this benefit.
For instance, in a 1-month study, people with degenerative arthritis of the spine took 0.5 ounces (15 ml) of noni juice twice daily. The noni juice group reported a significantly lower pain score — with complete relief of neck pain in 60% of participants (28).
In a similar study, people with osteoarthritis took 3 ounces (89 ml) of noni juice daily. After 90 days, they experienced a significant decrease in the frequency and severity of arthritis pain, as well as an improved quality of life (29).
Arthritis pain is often associated with increased inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, noni juice may provide natural pain relief by reducing inflammation and combatting free radicals (30Trusted Source, 31Trusted Source).
Noni juice may support immune health.
Like some other fruit juices, it’s is rich in vitamin C. For example, 3.5 ounces (100 ml) of Tahitian Noni Juice packs about 33% of the RDI for this vitamin.
Vitamin C supports your immune system by protecting your cells from free radical damage and environmental toxins (32Trusted Source).
Many other antioxidants present in noni juice — such as beta carotene — may improve immune health as well.
One small, 8-week study found that healthy people who drank 11 ounces (330 ml) of noni juice daily had increased immune cell activity and lower levels of oxidative stress (6Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source).
SUMMARYNoni juice has numerous potential benefits, including boosting endurance, relieving pain, supporting your immune system, reducing cellular damage caused by tobacco smoke, and aiding heart health in smokers.
Listed below are some great reasons that might encourage you to take a spa treatment of your choice.
Just like the pub or the park, spas are now widely seen as a place one can hang out. More people are visiting spas in groups.
People tend to use that as a motivating factor to visit the spa regularly. Friends and family usually make the sessions lively. It offers the perfect avenue for you to interact while receiving your treatment.
Detoxification is getting rid of the unhealthy and toxic substances from the body. There’s no better place to do that than a spa specializing in this field. Not only will your body be free of unwanted substances, but you can lose weight.
During detoxification, the body will convert the fat reserves to energy. While fats are getting broken down, toxins are released into the bloodstream, and the excretory system will do its job.
3. Improve Confidence and Self Esteem
People who visit the spa for treatments are generally happy. This happiness can be equated to positive energy and feel.
The feel-good factor can be easily transferred to the people around and changing how you approach things significantly. It will give more zeal when talking and addressing issues to people. That’s why a lot of people tend to visit the spa as a morning ritual.
You will have a great day full of a good outcome. You can also use treatment as a way of calming your nerves when approaching a big event.
Having a massage session will calm the sympathetic nervous system that’s responsible for raising blood pressure. High blood pressure is risky because it leads to heart disease.
The hot water in a spa bath and a massage will lower your blood pressure while increasing your heart rate. It will make the circulatory system work excellently well, thus by far improving your cardiovascular wellness.
Spas are very common with visitors looking to get rid of back pains and the general protection of their spine. A massage works wonders in reducing or removing such pain, consider it a therapy session.
The increased flow of blood throughout the body helps in getting rid of stiffness, aches, muscle tension, and pain. Tissue elasticity will also make you more flexible as an added benefit.
Works well with athletes who are recovering from an injury and people who have arthritis.
There’s an alarming rate of increase in people suffering from mental health issues. Having a regular visit to the spa will ensure you’re not part of this statistic.
Not only will your spa treatment clear your mind during and after it, but it will also ease your sleeping patterns at night. Sleep is essential in reducing stresstowards a better mental health record.
Reducing stress can still be achieved due to the celebrity treatment you get at the spa and the relaxing feeling. It’s relatively healthy for a man to feel good and appreciated whenever they are accorded first class service. This is the norm while getting a spa treatment.
A spa offers a variety of treatments that will enable you to lose weight. A slimming body wrap will come in handy to achieve weight loss.
You’ll be covered in a heated blanket after getting bandaged in mineral socked clothes.
Cool sculpting can also be done to facilitate weight loss. It’s the process of freezing fat cells beneath your skin. It’s recommended because you get to choose the specific area you want to cut the fat.
A spa treatment provides one of the best ways to enjoy your peace of mind and meditate. Meditation increases one’s happiness and improves your concentration by a mile.
Many spas offer yoga classes. It’s proven that yoga is one of the best ways to meditate. Yoga will come as an added advantage because your flexibility and fitness will massively improve and be at par with your meditation skill.
A clear mind enhances better decision making.
Spas are best known for the numerous skin treatment options that they offer. Exfoliation is one of the most common skin treatment therapies. SMoother skin is achieved by extracting dead skin and rough cells.
This is how softer and glowing skin comes about. The dead cells usually prevent the skin from being smooth. Organic facials can really improve your skin tone.
Other forms of making the skin better include treatments like extractions, which is where blemishes are manually removed from the surface.
Getting a spa treatment might be the perfect way to relax after a long day mulled by activities. You can make a spa your spot for recharging to face new challenges that the day brings.
A spa offers a completely different environment, almost replicating another world. You can use the lack of distraction as an excellent way to relax both your body and mind.
This is one of the main reasons why people visit spas for treatment.
Sound systems have driven the development of music in the UK, powered by hard work, passion and innovation. But preserving UK sound system culture, its knowledge and history, while also pushing it forward, is no easy task today. Ria Hylton traces its path through ska and reggae at blues dances in West Indian households, to soul, boogie, hip-hop and house in ’80s warehouses and at the Notting Hill Carnival, to nationwide tours and global popularity, and finds out how initiatives like the Sound System Futures Programme are seeking to secure its future
It’s the Thursday before Notting Hill Carnival and Linett Kamala, board director of Europe’s biggest street party, is weaving through the streets of Kilburn. Her Mini moves westwards, slowed by mid-evening traffic, and arrives on a quiet industrial estate in Wembley, just after 7pm. Kamala, who founded the Sound System Futures Programme, greets her teammates, Darren Watson and Terry Hooligan, and together the trio scale the narrow stairs to a brightly lit room on the top floor. Two students in the programme sit quietly among DJ equipment, awaiting instruction.
In 1985, Kamala was the first female to DJ at Notting Hill Carnival. The then-15-year-old opted for an experimental setlist in a reggae and dub-heavy soundscape, spinning go-go cuts like ‘The Word’ by Junkyard Band and Al-Naafyish’s ‘Time’, an early-hip hop track. Her funky, future-facing selections leaned heavy on the bass and stood her out among a sea of male-run sound systems. It was the start of a 30-odd-year journey that has Kamala back at the forefront of sound system culture — but this time, she’s manoeuvring others towards the stage.
“This programme is really about access,” the artist explains some days later. “Many people [involved in sound systems] have passed, particularly during the Covid period, and, like they say, a whole library has disappeared with them.” The passing of key figures — as well as the auctioning off of whole record collections following the death of a loved one, splitting up a lifetime’s worth of work — means technical and musical knowledge is being lost. It’s no small task, but Kamala and her team are eager to plug an institutional and generational gap, connecting Gen-Z enthusiasts with baby boomer sound system runners to pass on crucial knowledge about the culture, its history and traditions. “I wonder about the future of it, because it hasn’t really been thinking about the next generation. It’s in danger of dying out.”
Worldwide, sound system culture is booming, but not, Kamala notes, within the communities that birthed it. What was once a thriving scene linking West Indian households across the UK has now become a niche community practice celebrated by pockets of the culture. The Sound System Futures Programme hopes to reverse course, making sure descendants of the immigrant communities that shaped UK music are aware of and, in time, come to practise sound system traditions.

'The way we see things is affected by what we know and what we believe," wrote John Berger in Ways of Seeing. "The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."
We know that Britain's official story – the one it keeps telling itself – is that it is a tolerant country with regards to race. This tolerance is not regarded as a work of progress but as an enduring expression of Britain's innate genius. This toleration had limits. It endured the presence of "different" kinds of people so long as they didn't make a difference.
"We are a British nation with British characteristics," explained Margaret Thatcher in 1978, during the same interview that she warned of Britain being "swamped": "Every country can take some small minorities and in many ways they add to the richness and variety of this country. The moment the minority threatens to become a big one, people get frightened."
And even as the central focus of the nation's anxieties shifted from Caribbeans to Muslims, from race to religion and from colour to culture, this essential quality remained firm. "We should talk, and rightly so, about British values that are enduring," argued Gordon Brown in 2005. "Because they stand for some of the greatest ideas in history: tolerance, liberty, civic duty, that grew in Britain and influenced the rest of the world."
But what we see in Dennis Morris's pictures of black Britons in the 60s and 70s – collected together in a new book – both challenges the limitations inherent in that framing and provides a counter-narrative to it. For in the photographs of people at church and at play, styling and protesting during this critical period in our racial history he transforms black Britons from objects to subjects and recipients of hospitality to cultural agents. We see not just a group of people shaped by their presence in Britain but shaping it: not content with being tolerated by "hosts" they demanded engagement in their new home.
The 70s were a pivotal period in black British history. When people started arriving in large numbers after the second world war, most planned to stay only long enough to earn some money and go back "home". But as Berger wrote in the Seventh Man: "The gold fell from very high in the sky. And so when it hit the earth it went down very, very, deep." So they stayed, married and raised families.
UB40 first made their mark on the music scene in the 1980s, a decade defined by the despair of the jobless in the group’s own country and famine in Africa. They brought a British brand of reggae-pop to the charts and concert stages – with their name taken from the attendance card issued to people claiming unemployment benefits.
Astro, real name Terrence Wilson, who has died aged 64, was brought into the eight-piece group as their MC – as well as trumpet player and percussionist – but said he became a “singjay” rather than a DJ, providing backing with melodies.
This “toasting”, a reggae style of talking or chanting over the beat – long before rapping took off – was most powerfully showcased on the full-length album version of “Red Red Wine” (1983), the first of UB40’s three chart-topping singles in the UK.
The band based it on Jamaican singer Tony Tribe’s 1969 reggae recording, unaware that the original was a ballad written and performed by Neil Diamond two years earlier.
Even when we saw the writing credit, which said ‛N Diamond’, we thought it was a Jamaican artist called Negus Diamond,” Astro, notable for his dreadlocks and dark glasses, told The Guardian earlier this year.
It came from Labour of Love, an album of cover songs given a reggae treatment, following three studio LPs featuring UB40’s own politically and socially conscious material.
On its rerelease five years later, “Red Red Wine” hit the top spot in the American singles chart – the group’s first No 1 in the US market – after being resurrected by a DJ in Phoenix, Arizona, who had heard their live performance at Nelson Mandela’s 70th-birthday concert at Wembley Stadium.
Another cover, of Sonny & Cher’s 1960s classic “I Got You Babe”, brought UB40 a second British chart-topper when they teamed up with Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde in 1985. Astro’s trumpet playing was at its most effective by being understated.
It was more prominent in the band’s 1993 version of Elvis Presley’s hit “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love with You”, which went to No 1 on both sides of the Atlantic.
Some fans felt these lilting reggae versions of others’ songs were betraying UB40’s roots as the voice of working-class disaffection, but the band continued writing their own material – usually under a joint credit.
Astro sang lead vocal on the 1987 single “Rat in Mi Kitchen”, having written it himself after Ali Campbell told him he had... “a rat in mi kitchen”.
The band sold more than 70 million records, including 39 singles in the UK Top 40 and seven in the US Top 100 between 1980 and 2005.
Their first release, “King”, in 1980, was a dedication to Martin Luther King, but radio stations picked up on the catchy B-side, “Food for Thought”, and, turned into a double-A-side single, it went to No 4 in the UK.
Both came off UB40’s debut album, Signing Off (1980), which stayed in the charts for 71 weeks, kept off the top only by Gary Numan and Kate Bush. It included the Margaret Thatcher anthem “Madam Medusa”, with lines such as: “Hear the silent suffering that echoes through the land.”
Ali Campbell and Mickey Virtue finally left UB40 in an acrimonious split in 2008. Five years later, Astro followed, having completed the band’s 18th studio album, Getting Over the Storm (2013), dissatisfied with the move to country music covers on it and his limited role as a backing vocalist.
The following year, he teamed up with the group’s other refugees. Their most successful album, under the name UB40 featuring Ali, Astro & Mickey, was A Real Labour of Love (2018), which featured Jamaican reggae songs, went to No 2 in the UK and topped the US reggae chart. Astro sang lead vocal on six of the 16 tracks.
By 1988, hip-hop was already a decade and a half old. Still, even as certain artists or groups made great strides in breaking through industry barriers and into the mainstream consciousness, the genre remained largely misunderstood by outsiders as something other than the potent and meaningful art form it truly was. Thankfully, Public Enemy were ready, willing and able to take on that fight. Dogmatic MC Chuck D and rapping hype man Flavor Flav had already delivered a devastating opening salvo with 1987’s unambiguously confrontational debut Yo! Bum Rush the Show, putting Black nationalist politics and imagery at the forefront.
By comparison, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back felt like a veritable firebombing—a rap blitzkrieg led by a boisterous lyricist with a defiantly militant mindset. That revolutionary energy was palpable on “Bring the Noise” and “Don’t Believe the Hype”, seminal songs with hooks that sounded more like marching orders. Even further down the tracklist, cuts like “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos” and “Rebel Without a Pause” hit as hard as what came before, the messaging as provocative and righteous as any on the album.

The Street Gospel Riddim is a remarkable musical project that showcases unity and collaboration between some of Jamaica’s most renowned gospel and secular recording artists.
At the helm of this project is Richie Stephens, a mastermind who has repeatedly proven his exceptional talent and creativity. His previous works, including Reverse the Curse and the hit collaboration with Sanchez – Double For My Troubles, have already made global waves.
With the release of the Street Gospel Riddim, Richie Stephens has again given us another outstanding piece of art through his Pot of Gold Production. This latest project is a testament to the power of music to bridge gaps and bring people together, and it will surely leave a lasting impression on anyone who listens to it.
Composed by Stephens, the track-listing for the six-song EP reads as follows:
Richie Stephens started his career as a singer in the early ’90s under Motown Records. Later, he shifted his focus towards reggae, ska, and contemporary gospel when he started working independently. He spent most of the late ’90s and the following years refining his new direction, and his 2002 album, The Man Upstairs, marked the emergence of a distinctive voice in Christian music.

Ever returned poor or faulty goods for the shop to simply dismiss your complaint? Now imagine walking down the high street, or contacting the company, this time covered in a glistening suit of consumer rights armour. Read on to find out what your consumer rights are, and what to do if your purchases go wrong.
Your consumer rights protect you when you buy goods and services. This means you have rights by law, which a shop or service provider can't change.
Before we get into the detail, here's a quick summary of your rights:
Has Brexit changed your consumer rights? Following the Brexit transition period, most EU directives have been incorporated into UK law, so your rights are unchanged. However, if you're buying from a trader based in the EU, things can now be a bit trickier.
Pre-Brexit, if a UK consumer bought an item from an EU-based trader and it didn't arrive or there's a problem, the UK consumer could use UK law and the UK courts for redress, and judgment was recognised in the EU member state in question. The Government now says you need to contact UK International Consumer Centre for help with problems buying from an EU country.
Later in the guide, you'll get a much more detailed explanation of how consumer rights work. But let's start with a few simple dos and don'ts to help you protect yourself.

‘The black history of Britain is by its nature a global history. Yet too often it is seen as being only the history of migration, settlement and community formation in Britain itself.’
– David Olusoga, Black and British: A Forgotten History
Black histories are a vital part of England’s story, reaching back many centuries. There is evidence of African people in Roman Britain as far back as the 3rd century AD, and black communities have been present since at least 1500.
English Heritage is committed to telling the story of England in full. Black history, from antiquity to the 21st century, helps us to reflect on the connections between the past and present, and the importance of history to our understanding of what’s happening today.
Fortunately, positive affirmations are almost as easy to define as they are to practice. Put simply, they are positive phrases or statements used to challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts.
Practicing positive affirmations can be extremely simple, and all you need to do is pick a phrase and repeat it to yourself.
You may choose to use positive affirmations to motivate yourself, encourage positive changes in your life, or boost your self-esteem.
