AUDIO: TV team choose next 'Benefits Street'

Producers of Channel 4's Benefits street are considering featuring a Southampton road for a follow-up series.

Executive producer Kieran Smith said the show, which would focus on Derby Road's "long history" of immigration, was in the very early stages and had yet to be commissioned.

Mr Smith said that residents and community leaders who were concerned about the impact of the show would be consulted throughout the process.

He told BBC Radio 5 live's Breakfast: "If they felt it wasn't a fair or accurate depiction of their life or what we had filmed with them, then we would take bits out."

Poverty 'scandal' and benefits 'outrage' - front pages

16 April 2014 Last updated at 06:09 By Andy McFarlane BBC News Continue reading the main story Poverty and welfare appear on some front pages. The Daily Mirror uses a powerful image of a crying child to ask how in the UK - the world's sixth largest economy - one million food parcels were handed out in the last year. The Independent describes the situation as the "scandal that shames Britain", pointing out the number of parcels handed out by food bank organisation the Trussell Trust has risen 163% in the last year. Its sister paper, the i, spells out the report in bullet points, saying the charity claims the increase in demand for help is driven by benefit cuts. It says there have been calls for a government inquiry into the situation. But the Daily Express reports on Britain's "bloated benefits culture". It quotes a 36-year-old woman as saying she advised her daughter, 16, to become pregnant so she could claim welfare payments, because there were no jobs in the area. Meanwhile, the Sun says it's identified Britain's youngest parents as a 13-year-old boy and girl, 12, in north London. The girl, a primary school pupil, lives with her mother who - at 27 - is one of the UK's youngest grandparents, it says. The Metro quotes a United Nations official as saying a sexist, "boys' club" culture is rife in Britain. Rashida Manjoo reportedly says this leads to the "over-sexualisation" of young women, it reports. Banking reforms lead the Financial Times. It describes the process - aimed at making banks safer and markets more transparent - as "Europe's biggest financial rule-making spree" since the creation of the single market. International news leads the Guardian, which reports the latest situation in Ukraine. It says the country is "on the brink" after rebels fired at pro-Russian activists who had taken control of a regional airport. Fears about the future of the NHS make headlines again, with the Daily Telegraph reporting that Britain has fewer hospital beds than almost any other Western country. It raises fears the service is "stretched to breaking point". The Times claims UKIP members were silenced, ignored or forced out of the party after questioning its use of EU allowances and donations. Its leader Nigel Farage says he's taking legal advice, claiming to be victim of a "political smear". Meanwhile, the Daily Mail describes the Lib Dems as "squirming" over paedophilia claims about former MP Cyril Smith. Leader Nick Clegg has repeatedly said the party was unaware of allegations at the time. Continue reading the main story Figures from the Trussell Trust which reveal the food bank charity handed out emergency food parcels to more than 910,000 people in the last year make front-page headlines.

It prompts the Daily Mirror to wonder how such a situation can arise in the world's sixth-largest economy. And comedian Eddie Izzard writes in the paper: "I've seen food parcels handed out many times in my work with Unicef or for Sport Relief... But I never thought I'd even hear of them handed out in my own country."

The Independent hears personal tales from those receiving help at the UK's busiest food bank, in Coventry, some of whom say they had benefits withdrawn after making an error on a form. The paper claims the situation is "a matter of demand, not supply". It points out that while the Department for Work and Pensions insists it's the expansion of food banks that has fuelled demand, people can only receive emergency food if they are referred by a care professional, such as a doctor, social worker or school liaison officer.

The Guardian reports that 600 religious leaders - including 40 Anglican bishops - have called on the government to take action to tackle the "national crisis" of food poverty.

It's poverty of a different kind that troubles the Daily Express. "Poverty of ambition that keeps families on welfare," is the headline on the paper's editorial column. "Despite strong efforts from the government it seems that some are still stubbornly choosing to live purely off handouts from the state," it says.

It's not referring to food banks but to the case of a mother-of-three who reportedly told her 19-year-old daughter to have a baby instead of getting a job, so that she would get increased welfare support and a council house.

Meanwhile, the Sun has good news for working families concerned about the cost of living, reporting a "nice little earner" as growth in average pay outstrips inflation for the first time in four years.

"The time has come for optimism," says the Times in its editorial, although it warns politicians they cannot afford to forget the millions of households that "limped through a six-year wage squeeze on mounting debts".

'The 96' remembered

"A quarter of a century on, the pain is still as raw and the sense of loss as deep as it ever way," says the Daily Mirror's Brian Reade, reporting from the Anfield memorial service marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. "Time doesn't heal your wounds when the system has refused to. Only justice can do that."

The papers digest news that former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to perform community service at a home for elderly and disabled people following his conviction for tax fraud. "It seems appropriate that a politician who defrauded society should pay back in the most literal way," says the Guardian.

It remembers other famous names who've been through similar experiences, such as singer Boy George who was ordered to sweep New York streets for wasting police time and model Naomi Campbell who - after being sentenced for striking her housekeeper with a mobile phone - "turned up at the New York sanitation department in a Dolce & Gabbana sequin dress and stilettos".

Meanwhile, the Times's Peter Brookes takes inspiration from Mr Berlusconi's infamous "bunga-bunga" sex parties for his cartoon. He sketches the 77-year-old naked and wheeling an elderly lady into the home, while telling her: "I've organised a bingo-bingo party."

Pictures from the service appear on many front pages, while images of the packed stands, tearful mourners and tributes laid out in scarves appear inside. The Daily Mail is among the papers to focus on two-year-old Tommy Biggadike, photographed laying flowers in memory of his grandfather, Thomas Howard, who died aged 34 with his son, another Thomas. "He is too young to appreciate his family's terrible loss. But few sights yesterday can have been as poignant," writes James Tozer.

The Times prints a match report written by one of the victims, 15-year-old Vicky Hicks, who typed up her accounts of games and kept them in a folder hidden from her parents. Trevor and Jenni only found them after she died alongside her sister, Sarah.

For the Guardian's David Conn, the speech of Mr Hicks, along with those of Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and his Everton counterpart Roberto Martinez dwelled on the "life-affirming side of the Hillsborough story: the families fight for justice" to lend a "warmth close to celebration" to proceedings.

Jeremy Wilson, in the Daily Telegraph, writes: "That justice might have been delayed, but the mood across all of Liverpool yesterday stretched beyond sombre reflection to immense pride at a city that, perhaps more than any other in England, is so identified by its football teams."

The Mirror has produced a special Merseyside edition, its front-page headline reading simply: "We'll never forget."

Desperate strategy?

Tensions in Ukraine are captured on the front page of the Guardian, which describes the country as "on the verge of major armed conflict" after its forces fired at pro-Russian activists who'd captured an airfield in the country's east.

More than 400 people have signed a petition to replace a "frightening" automatic toilet which has blasted users with water when its cleaning systems operated prematurely, knocked one lady from the seat with an automatic arm and even opened unexpectedly to expose its unfortunate occupants, according to the Telegraph.

Described as a "super-loo", it was installed at Goldsworth Park in Woking, Surrey, five years ago and its users are charged 10p to spend a penny. However, the park's community association chairman says people are "too scared" to use it, prompting the council to say it will consider the future provision of loos in the area.

"The outbreak of fighting raised deep trepidation that Ukraine, which has already lost Crimea to the Kremlin, could be entering into a a civil war which may lead to the intervention of Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly declared that he was prepared to act to protect ethnic Russians across the border," writes Kim Sengupta, in the Independent.

"No government in Kiev could simply sit back and relinquish control over this area, particularly as Donetsk also serves as the industrial backbone of the country's economy," writes David Blair in the Telegraph. "But restoring Kiev's authority by force would require a sizeable military operation."

For Ben Hoyle, in the Times, Ukraine's "punch-drunk government is gambling the country's future on President Putin's restraint... It looks like a desperate strategy".

Edward Lucas writes in the Daily Mail that the West must choose whether to surrender responsibility for Ukraine and the Baltic states or mount a last-ditch attempt to deter Russia from "furthering its imperial ambitions".

"If we do choose to resist Putin, we will risk a terrifying military escalation, which I do not think it an exaggeration to say could bring us to the brink of nuclear war."

Alien invasions

"Super rats will eat our schools," says the Daily Star, reporting that "hordes of 2ft-long poison-immune rodents" could take over empty buildings over the holiday period. It quotes "rodent experts" as saying the new breed of rat is spreading across the UK and could cause damage resulting in millions of pounds of repairs.

Meanwhile, it's hornets troubling the Sun. Under the headline "king of the stingers", the paper says a "vicious" Asian species, three times the size of "normal" wasps, is on its way to the UK.

The Mail lists other species identified by a Commons committee as a threat to native eco-systems. Alongside well-known "foreign intruders", such as Japanese knotweed and grey squirrels, are the Russian zebra mussel - which clogs up water works - and the oak processionary moth whose caterpillars have toxic hairs that can cause breathing problems.

Yet more aliens, killer shrimps - fish-eating crustaceans spreading from the Caspian Sea - are labelled "natural prawn killers" by the Daily Mirror.

However, it's a single animal that makes headlines elsewhere. The Express explains that a 6ft ostrich-like South American rhea is "on the run... at 40mph" in Hertfordshire. One man spotted it hiding in a field of rapeseed crop after escaping from its owner, a landowner who keeps it to eat weeds, the paper says.

Benefits Street follow-up in pipeline

16 April 2014 Last updated at 10:23 Benefits Street prompted a debate about so-called "poverty porn" The producers of Channel 4 documentary series Benefits Street have confirmed they are working on a follow-up with the working title Immigration Street.

Kieran Smith of Love Productions said the show was in "the very early stages" and had yet to be commissioned.

He said his company had been talking to residents on Derby Road in Southampton, describing it as "a place with a long history of an immigrant population".

Benefits Street provoked controversy when it aired earlier this year.

The series was accused of negatively portraying benefits claimants in Birmingham's Winson Green area and generated hundreds of complaints.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live on Wednesday, Mr Smith said the new show was "coming from the same stable as Benefits Street".

'Interesting area'

"We thought there was something to do about what happens to immigrants when they arrive in this country who are looking to be part of British society.

"We thought Derby Road was an interesting area that reflects what happens when immigrants move into an area and change the look of an area," the executive producer continued.

He admitted he had met community leaders "who are worried about the impact it might have" and pledged to show Derby Road's residents any programme shot there ahead of transmission.

Benefits Street, described by its makers as a "fair and balanced observational documentary [that] sparked an important debate about the welfare system", was a ratings winner for Channel 4.

The broadcaster confirmed Love Productions was researching "a potential new series... looking at life in a community where diverse groups of people live alongside one another".

"The title and location are not yet confirmed and discussions are ongoing with local people."

Benefits of a good after school program

Children grow up in a society that demands expertise in everything. You

really cannot sit back and decide that learning from textbooks is enough

for the overall development of your child. It's the age of specialization

and your child cannot afford to miss out on this window of opportunity.

So, scour your locality for the most advantageous programs and enroll them

for the ones you think are the best.

After school programs are basically designed to develop a talent or a

skill that is ignored by regular schools. These programs could be

educational or recreational in nature. Whatever type they are, they

basically aim to keep the child active and interested.

The most important advantage of a good after school program is that it

widens your child's area of interests. He or she is introduced to new

things, sometimes interesting, sometimes challenging. Mastering a new art

form or a new skill increases the child's self-esteem. It also allows you

to introduce your child to new career options. A child attending a music

class may decide that she likes it so much that she wants to make a career

out of it in the long run.

Socialization is another great advantage of after school programs.

Children get to meet others who share their interests and make new

friendships. An acting class or a soccer class can be lots of fun. Many of

these programs coach children for performances or matches. Performing on

stage or playing a match can be a great experience for a young child.

After school programs keep your teenager busy. He or she thus has some

amount of protection from destructive habits like drugs and alcohol.

Surveys indicate that children who are kept busy through diverse absorbing

activities are less prone to abuse, depression and burnout. Significant

increase in achievement and attendance and a reduction in drop out rates

are other advantages of a good after school programs.

Most after school programs have children interacting with one or more

adult. This allows them to benefit from positive relationships with

adults. Children often find it difficult to confide in parents and

teachers, but may open up with other adults.

Many children are put into recreational after school programs so that they

reduce weight and remain healthy. A newly emerging trend shows that about

15% children below the age of 16 are obese. Parents who cannot put their

children on a strict diet resort to sports and games to burn fat. With

cases of child diabetes on the increase, this has become a prime focus of

many after school programs.

A good after school program has many benefits. It keeps the child

entertained as well as busy, and thus prevents children from becoming

addicted to TVs and PCs. By giving them ways to burn up their excess energy

and explore their creativity, after school programs help to shape the

overall personality of the child.

Elderly: The Benefits of Owning an Air Purifier

Are you considered a senior citizen? If not, do you know someone who is? Whether you are increasing in age or you are close to someone who is, you may be a little bit worried about health. It is no secret that most people’s health begins to deteriorate as they age. Despite being a normal occurrence, there are many individuals who take a number of steps to try and remain as healthy as they can.

When it comes to staying healthy, there are a number of different steps that are taken. Of course, the elderly, like all other individuals, can benefit from healthy foods, as well as a regular amount of exercise. In addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, elderly individuals could also benefit from the use of an air purifier.

Air purifiers are electronic machines that are used to eliminate, and sometimes even destroy, harmful air particles and bacteria. Essentially, air purifiers make indoor air cleaner and healthier to breathe. This is good for just about anyone, but it is especially good for those who are considered senior citizens. As previously mentioned, senior citizens are more likely to develop health complications, such as the common cold. An air purifier can help to reduce the chances of that happening.

If you are a senior citizen and you are looking to purchase an air purifier for yourself, you may want to think about speaking to your healthcare provider. While most healthcare providers are not experts on air purifiers, they should be able to let you know what you want or need to get out of an air purifier. For instance, they may recommend that you purchase an air purifier that not only traps, but also destroys harmful bacteria. This information, as well as any other information that your healthcare provider may give you, will come in handy when choosing the right air purifier, especially one that best fits your needs.

If you are not a senior citizen, but you are interested in purchasing an air purifier for a senior citizen that you know or are related to, you may want to do a little bit of research, before making that purchase. When doing a little bit of research, it is important to keep a couple of important points in mind. These points should include the size of the room in which the air purifier would be used, the overall cost of the air purifier, including filters, and the overall quality of the air purifier that you are interested in purchasing. As mentioned above, it may be a good idea for you to seek help or tips from a professional healthcare provider.

When it comes to purchasing an air purifier, if you are a senior citizen, you may want to think about shopping at a retail store that offers discounts for senor citizens. These discounts are not available at all retail locations, but a wide number of stores still offer them. These stores may include home improvement stores or pharmacies. Even if you must pay full price for an air purifier, you will still want to think about purchasing one. Despite having to pay full price, you will likely find that the purchase is worth it, in more ways than one.

As previously mentioned, if you are concerned with the health of yourself or someone that you know, especially someone who is considered a senior citizen, you may want to get an air purifier. Whether you make that purchase yourself, ask for it as a gift, or give it as a gift, you and anyone else that enters the residence will likely be pleased with the purchase.

Benefits Of Ergonomic Chairs

In today's office setting, ergonomic office chairs are

very important. At work, many office employees are

sitting more than eight hours per day. During this time,

it's important that ergonomic chairs be used, as they

will help reduce shoulder, back, and neck strain. Even

though they may cost more than the standard office chair,

they are a wise investment simply because they increase

productivity and can help prevent serious injury.

When you select the proper ergonomic offer chair, there

are several factors you should consider. You'll want

chairs with an adjustable seat, the proper lumbar support,

backrest, adequate seat depth and width, arm rests, and

the ability to swivel. You should also read the

instruction manual as well and ensure that all of the

adjustment mechanisms function properly. If you find a

chair to be defective in any way, it should be returned

immediately.

Keep in mind when selecting your chairs that there is

really no "one size fits all" for every body type. What

is best for one individual may not be the best choice for

another. Before buying a chair you should give it a

try and see what you think. If it isn't possible to test

out the chair, you should make sure that you can get a

refund if something goes wrong.

Before you purchase or use an ergonomic chair it's best

to fully understand proper posture and ergonomics while

at work or at home. One of the basics to ergonomics is

making sure that a chair's seat height will allow the

user's feet to stay firmly planted on the floor. It's

also good if the chair provides a lumbar support, which

will fit the inward curve of the lower back area.

With the traditional ergonomic office chair, there are

a lot of new and emerging alternatives. Depending on

the chair, you may find yourself in new positions. Even

though they may take a bit of getting used to, these

chairs are great for someone who experiences a bit of

discomfort or chronic back pain.

Those who sit at their desks for extended periods of time

would greatly benefit from ergonomic chairs. While

sitting at a desk, you put your back and upper torso in

a cramped position, making yourself a target for back

pain later on in life. With ergonmic chairs, your back

gets the support it needs. This way you can sit at your

desk all day long and know that your back and the rest

of your body is very comfortable.

Benefits of Registering With YouTube

Do you enjoy watching videos on YouTube? Even if you have never visited YouTube before, you are urged to do so, as you will likely find it fun, exciting, and entertaining. YouTube is a video sharing website which allows internet users, just like you, to upload and share videos that they have made. Perhaps, the greatest thing about YouTube is that it is free.

When visiting the YouTube website to watch videos, you can do so without having to create a YouTube account. Despite not being required to create a YouTube account, you may want to look into doing so, as there are a number of benefits to being a YouTube member. Just a few of those benefits are outlined below.

One of the many benefits to registering for a free YouTube account is that it is relatively easy to do. When you signup for a free YouTube account, you need to provide a little bit of information about yourself. This information includes your name, the country that you live in, your zip code, your date of birth, as well as your gender. You will also need to create a YouTube user name for yourself, as well as a password. Your password and user name will be used to log into your account. Signing up for a YouTube account should take only a few minutes of your time, at the most.

Once you have created a free YouTube account for yourself, you can then begin to enjoy the many other benefits of having a YouTube account. One of those benefits is the ability to rate videos that you watch, as well as leave comments. As it was previously mentioned, you can watch videos on YouTube without having a YouTube account, but you cannot rate videos or leave comments for the video owner. Rating YouTube videos gives other YouTube users an idea as to which videos are high in demand, which, in turn, can lead to more of your favorite videos being found on the YouTube site. That is just one of the many reasons why you should not only signup for a free YouTube account, but also rate YouTube that you watch or leave comments.

In addition to being able to rate or review videos, registering for a free YouTube account also gives you the option of sharing your videos with other internet users. Non-registered YouTube members are unable to upload and share any videos that they may have made. If you have never shared videos online, you may want to think about doing so, as they are fun to make. Many of the videos currently found on YouTube are comedy skits, video blogs, and candid videos. All you really need to have is a video recording device, such as a cell phone, webcam, or camcorder, and a movie editing software program, which now comes standard on most computers.

As it was previously stated, creating a membership account with YouTube is free and it should only take a few minutes of your time. If you enjoy using the internet as a source of entertainment, you will not only want to visit YouTube, but you will also want to take the few minutes needed to register for a free account. In the end, you will likely be pleased with your decision to do so.

Air Purifiers: The Benefits of Reading Consumer Reports or Customer Feedback

Are you looking to purchase a new air purifier for your home? If so, have you purchased one before? If you have never purchased an air purifier before, you may not know exactly what you should be looking for or which type of air purifier is considered the best. If this is the case, you are advised to do a little bit of research, before making your final purchase. This research should involve consumer reports or customer feedback.

We have all heard of consumer reports before. In fact, these reports are regularly featured on the news, on the radio, and on television. Consumer reports are often generated by a group of trained individuals or traditional consumers, either one or the other. These individuals will test and review a particular product. Many times these products include cars computer equipment, and televisions. But, did you know there are also consumer reports done on air purifiers. If you are able to find these reports, which you should easily be able to do online, you should be able to obtain valuable information on some of the most popular and well-known air purifiers on the market.

In addition to using consumer reports, you can also obtain customer feedback online. Customer feedback is feedback that is left by a customer who recently purchased or used the particular product in question. Many of these reviews or product ratings are done for a number of different popular and well-known air purifier makes and models. If you are able to find these reviews, you could very well stay up-to-date on the latest products to hit the market. A customer feedback will likely not only include the price of an air purifier, but also the quality of its performance.

As previously mentioned, it is easiest to read consumer reports or view customer feedback online. When searching for consumer reports, you will likely want to perform a standard internet search. You may want to search using the words consumer reports, air purifiers. Combining the words air purifiers and consumer reports, will likely provide you with more accurate results. Consumer reports, as stated above, are performed on a wide variety of different products. Tailoring your search specifically to air purifiers is the best way to do the research, without wasting your time.

If you are looking for customer feedback, from previously air purifier buyers, you will also want to use the internet. If you know the name of a particular air purifier, you may want to perform a standard internet search with that name. Your results should include product information, as well as customer feedback or customer ratings. In addition to a standard internet search, you may also want to visit the website of an online retailer, particularly one that sells air purifiers. Many online retail stores allow their customers to review the products in which they purchased from their store.

Although the internet is a great way to learn more about air purifiers, you can also speak to those that you know. Over the past few years, the use of air purifiers in homes has skyrocketed. This means that there is a good chance that you know someone who has used an air purifier in the past or who still does. If you do know someone, you are advised to inquire about the product they have or had. Those that you know are more likely to provide you with honest answers, when compared to strangers over the internet.

As you should be able to see, there are a number of different ways that you can go about searching for customer feedback or consumer reports, for air purifiers. The benefits to doing so are unlimited. Not only can you be altered to well performing air purifiers, but you can also familiarize yourself with air purifiers that you are advised to stay away from. This valuable piece of information may help you have hundred of dollars, if not thousands, overtime.

Learn About the Benefits of Water Towed Generators For Sailboats

The debate between wind generators, towed generators, solar power and the so called 'gensets' has been raging for years.

The fact is that in these days with all of the environmental issues surrounding us, installing a genset is just a non issue. A combination of air, solar and water power generation is the only solution for most cruising sailboats. By most, we are referring to yachts up to 50ft. approximately which would comprise 90% of cruisers sailing our oceans.

All these options draw their energy from the natural elements we are passing through whilst sailing - with a nil carbon footprint. They take up little room (excepting solar panels) and are silent - perfect! Stack this up against the diesel generator which is noisy, requires a lot of inboard space, uses diesel fuel, needs constant attention (servicing), and with a poor power output - you do not want a diesel generator running all day! I personally used a combination of a wind generator and a water towed generator. The wind generator is fine when sailing to windward, but output drops off a lot when sailing downwind. So the back up was a towed generator which produced 9 - 11 amps constantly when sailing downwind at 8 - 9 knots.

This pumped enough power into the batteries so that would run all the boats' power needs effortlessly, including the refrigerator and water maker, which enabled us to arrive at every port with full water tanks. I ran (towed) it during the day, retrieving it onboard again at sunset

Technology has moved on and the units you can now purchase are even more efficient.

The average yacht these days is more often than not fitted out with a wide range of electrical equipment to help make navigation simpler, safer and more enjoyable for the skipper and crews onboard. These all take a drain on the ships batteries and that power needs to be replaced as efficiently and quickly as possible.

Anyone who owns a yacht already owns a large wind energy generator, and that is the yacht itself. The average wind turbine suitable for mounting on a yacht may span 7 - 10 square feet of air stream, whereas the sail of a typical cruising yacht will of course intercept an area far greater than this.

As a result an easy and efficient way to maximize power generation for your battery whilst cruising is by drawing energy from the yacht's movement through the water rather than directly from the wind.

This is where a towed generator comes into its own. Many yachtsmen consider towed water generators too much trouble, but this is an efficient way to get a lot of energy out of the wind, particularly when on long passages.

Originally these towed generators were designed just for towing but since the first were developed things have changed and there are all sorts of varieties available to choose from to suit your needs. The most modern designs can be used as a towed generator whilst sailing and can then be adapted to work as a wind generator when anchored and stationary.

You can read more about power generation and water towed generators in my ebook 'Voyage of the Little Ship 'Tere Moana' downloadable from my sailboat2adventure website.
