IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL ART world and across its length and breadth there has never been an artist quite like Ted Stourton. Loved and adored by the thousands of collectors who have been collecting his art over the last few years at an unprecedented rate, Stourton is not only one of the world’s most loved artists and one of the great personalities of English society but his work is totally outstanding. Now feted in Hollywood and Beverly Hills, in noble households in Kazakhstan and Russia as well as the finest homes in Europe it is likely that there has never before been such growing interest in one artist’s output of fine art. Stourton, who has made it his policy to welcome his collectors and friends at his private home Camelot Castle in England, is now inspiring thousands of other artists across the world in a roll out of the Stourton brand that will certainly turn heads and possibly raise a few of the more conservative eyebrows among observers of the art world. 2008 will see Stourton take centre stage internationally and with the output from his studios at Camelot Castle more prestigious and prolific than ever we may well witness something that we have never seen before. Stourton as usual is quite unphased by all the attention. “All my friends are welcome at Camelot Castle and if they delight in the work then I am just as delighted as they are.” For private tours of Camelot Castle or to arrange a visit to Mr Stourton’s Studio go to www.camelotcastle.com or call 01840 770202.

What is invalidated you get less of. A society gets what it puts its attention on. Take a walk around your local community and ask yourself this simple question. Is it an ideal scene? At Independent Local Newspapers Group we are dedicated to the creation and maintaining of ideal scenes. Where there is an ideal scene occurring we help maintain it. Where a scene is not ideal we help to put an ideal one there. We know that ideal scenes are possible and we strive to create them both in our businesses and in the environments in which we operate. Now, before you get any idea that positive news is wishy washy news, low impact, or news that does not count, think again. When we expose (as we have done) the simple fact that thousands of children across the UK are being incorrectly prescribed drugs such as Ritalin and other psychiatric drugs based on a false diagnosis of completely bogus made up disorders (add/adhd) for which there is no scientific proof whatsoever, by psychiatrists who either have criminal intentions or who are personally glib and have been wilfully miseducated by drug companies, that’s positive. You see, mothers, fathers and honest concerned people can read about things like this and start doing something about it and as a result we then end up with less kids on Ritalin who do better in school and, eventually, less drug addicts in your community. Yes, there is a connection and it does affect you. And such truth ripples out through communities through word of mouth, across the internet and into people’s homes in London and around the world. So we really appreciate your support of our Newspaper Group. Every reader, every advertiser, and every ally in the world that we have helps. All your good intentions and actions towards us are extremely valuable. We believe that what we are doing is valuable. We mainly enjoy and like to point out the positive good people that are doing great things in the community locally so if you do know about anyone who is doing well and who should be validated for their good actions please take the time to write to me personally. We always try to do something and I always reply to such letters personally. One more thing, we are interested to meet and work with more journalists that agree with the above purpose who would like to work full or part time on really positive high impact stories, journalists that can and want to help us create and maintain ideal scenes. Please write to me at johnmappin@camelotcastle.com You may also find it useful to take the time to view our web sites www.londonlocals.co.uk and www.camelotcastle.com. You may find that there are additional concepts and products there that are valuable to you.

WHO IS MOTIVATING THE BILLIONAIRES OF TOMORROW? By Jeremy Edison, Business Editor. IS THIS ONE MAN GOING TO ECLIPSE ALL THE BUSINESS MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS IN U.S HISTORY? Dale Carnegie had it good for a while, Tony Robbins even had us walking on fire, but absolutely nothing can prepare you for the delivery of Grant Cardone when his fresh concepts and ideas impact your business and translate into the bottom line expansion and permanent motivation that begin on the inside and continue to grow long after the seminars are over and the hot bath hype has cooled. One indicator that one immediately notices and that makes Grant Cardone’s advice and products so very different is that he is probably the first U.S motivational speaker to be fully exportable worldwide. It is worth noting that some of the strongest interest for Mr. Cardone’s products is coming from international and overseas corporations in Europe where other traditionally “American Style” motivational speakers have usually been politely ridiculed or sidelined. So what is it that sets Grant Cardone apart from his predecessors and why is Europe interested? Having studied the Cardone products and his delivery, it becomes immediately evident that he stands head and shoulders above every other motivational speaker and business consultant/ coach. 1) He is the first to actually challenge much of what has been taught by the “gurus” for years. Mr. Cardone quite convincingly suggests that what has been taught over the years may in part actually be the contributing factor to low levels of production. "It is my belief that much of what has been taught for years to sales people (as one example) is not only not desirable to customers in the 21st Century but is one of the main reasons industries dependent upon sales people have so much staff turnover. The idea of answering questions with questions and other attempts at control and manipulation do not work for either seller or buyer." 2) Mr. Cardone's business approaches are based on research targeted towards what people truly want today, not just what may sound good from the stage or what was considered “truth” and has been passed down through the ages! “Times have changed, people have become more informed, have more choices and the company’s efforts must change with the times,” says Mr. Cardone. 3) In addition to what Mr. Cardone teaches being very practical, simple and applicable to today's company and customer demands, Grant Cardone actually walks the walk of his talk and is able to validate the workability of what he teaches in today’s marketplace. Who you see on stage is exactly who you will see off the stage, at his home, in his marriage, and at his companies. Unlike many of today’s motivational gurus he applies his own advice to build real businesses in the real world of business. “Attaining success is not a “secret” the way some would suggest in order to sell their solutions. Success depends on actions and approaches that are based on truth, integrity and simplicity that others are able to duplicate and consumers will trust enough to exchange money and things of value for. You don’t add more mystery to a person’s life or business in order to make their life and their business better.” Any talking that he does is incidental to the walking and it is clear to any observer that it is through his actions that he continues to expand and survive. By simply duplicating or copying those actions one is able to rise to the heights of success that many, prior to Cardone’s trainings have only been able to dream of. Grant Cardone has factually been speaking to audiences for over twenty years about how to improve themselves, their businesses and their practices. He has been studying and researching sales, success and business for most of his life. While hundreds of thousands of people from varying industries and walks of life have attended his seminars and bought his products just as many have implemented his approaches and business philosophies to improve their lives, their incomes and their businesses. It is not his words that people are repeating and duplicating, but rather his simple actions. And those actions are translating and will translate into the building of some of the biggest business empires on Earth. So it is hardly surprising that in certain banking and finance circles across Europe, Grant Cardone is being heralded as the mentor to Europe’s future Billionaires and is becoming quickly recognized as the shaper of Empires that would make the leviathan miss a beat. Extraordinary insight, including the willingness to observe the existing scene and be willing to change with the times regardless of mass public opinion, are the prerequisites to making correct decisions. Grant is educating the best of the best in how exactly to enhance their perceptions and thus their insight. His ability is highlighted not just in his capacity to give advice but also in the assessment of real situations such as: • Mr. Cardone correctly went to cash prior to the 1987 bust. • He went to cash again prior to the internet bust in the US and repeatedly forewarned his seminar attendees. • He started buying real estate in the early 1990’s when California real estate was a despised asset of even the rich which proved to be stellar timing. • Within eight years, contrary to public opinion, he sold his California portfolio as the condo boom heated up due to what he correctly predicted as today’s overbuilt market. He bought two thousand apartments in Tucson, Arizona just after 2001 and recently sold that entire portfolio just prior to the recent pull back. “Each of these events were so obvious to me. One could just look at the truth and disregard the decisions of masses of people. The reality of what has caused today’s real estate situation and sub-prime problem has yet to be fully acknowledged.” Mr. Cardone’s fiscal advice and analysis in the real estate markets is being heeded as far away as the oil rich CIS State of Kazakhstan, where Grant’s astute observation and troubleshooting analysis of the Sub Prime fiasco in the U.S has found relevance. Mr. Cardone’s recent comments caught the attention of a primary opinion leader to Kazakhstan’s Government Ministers who are currently combating a similar fiscal crisis and integrity collapse in their own building markets. While Mr. Cardone is a self-made success story, his life has not always been so clear cut and positive. At the age of nine he lost his father and ten years later lost his older brother both of whom were his role models. By the age of 19 he had developed a terrible drug habit that he almost died from but would finally kick at the age of 25. At this critical point in his life he directed all his energy and efforts into turning his life around and creating a career for himself. His first real commitment to success was as an automobile salesman at the age of twenty five when he started keeping records of every customer interaction. He even went as far as using audio recordings of phone calls and videotaping customers to find out what buyers really wanted and what approaches were most effective. After compiling thousands of records, he then formulated a new way of handling people that was more customer friendly, more informative and would quickly prove more effective! Within twelve months Grant Cardone had reached the top 1% of all automotive sales in the US! He didn't know it then but his approaches, later to be trademarked as Information Assisted Selling (TM), have revolutionized automotive sales approaches and literally changed the auto industry. His research and efforts initiated processes and technology that are today considered more customer friendly, shorten the sales cycle and reduce the effort it takes to purchase an automobile. "It was obvious to me that whatever was being taught in this industry was actually counter productive and the ultimate reason why the production levels industry- wide were so unacceptable. While many blamed the workforce I found that the real cause of the lack of production was the actual approaches that were being promoted by the industry “experts”“. His new methods and approaches have since been adopted across the board in many varied sales industries as well as exported to Brazil, Australia and Europe! Companies and industries all over the world are now being introduced to and using Grant's pioneering developments and contributions. Grant Cardone has since become a highly acclaimed international Sales and Motivational Speaker travelling the globe speaking to business leaders and individuals on topics from sales, motivation, real estate, personal finance and business at as many as two hundred engagements a year. He is the CEO of three very active businesses and his real estate portfolio now exceeds $120,000,000. In addition to an already very full schedule, Grant has been a guest on more than one hundred radio and television interviews appearing on the Today Show, Hollywood Access, and MSNBC. He is recently completed his first book, “Sell or Be Sold” which is waiting to be published. And he is currently working on his second book, "Breaking Out From the Middle Class". Grant presently lives in Los Angeles, California with his beautiful wife Elena Lyons-Cardone, a successful actress. Together they acquired and transformed Lionel Richie’s house in the Hollywood Hills which, according to Victoria Beckham, was the nicest house she viewed while house hunting in LA. A TALE by Ted Stourton OUR STORY, my dear readers, sees us back in time, a time perhaps many would care to forget and a few adventurous souls might care to remember. source of scandal and rumor mongering, was in its part, the very oil needed for the smoother running of the otherwise deadly dull and unproductive life at court. On a bleak snowy day in 1788, Paris, France outside the Bastille to be precise. A day when the sky was so grey and the ground so white, that any meeting place between the two is only afforded by a moment of clear weather which comes with the turning of the wind. The chill in the air matches the lonely bare ground and that at best offers up silence with angular shapes to comfort the constant pain of hunger that hangs like the foretold death of a child. Not far off the North West turret, a single pair of ravens circle in the air, a silhouette against the melting snow which covers this unyielding and blighted landscape. However, over the last few years the Bastille had fallen into dilapidation and disrepute which had matched the royal pittance of a grant long since diverted by the gaoler before its arrival at the squalid gates. So, somewhere between the snow falling, the gaoler sleeping and France on the brink of starvation, we find our characters entombed in the granite mausoleum they called the Bastille. Our two characters have been imprisoned for five years inside the Parisian hell they called the Bastille. This site had previously been a swamp. In the dank bowels of this once princely fortress had been held the treasures of the mighty Kings of France along with Nobles, of whom it is said, that if at the late hour of alcoholic murmur had merely a thought of Royal discontent, would awaken to their horror, imprisoned, on the other side of this unforgiving Rubicon. Now, it so happened, that it was the custom that each day at noon that some prisoners were allowed from their cells to walk a certain large passage that stretched from one long side to the other. Off this corridor there was a sequence of cells holding prisoners who had committed high treason and had been in solitary confinement for so long that no one had ever had site of them. It had been a punishable offence to try and speak with them but over the years the guards had become more and more discontented and lazy to the point where every day for nearly eighteen months the young poet had been able to sit down outside the cast iron door for the hour to converse with the painter. This paradox of regal delight and a dilemma posing as an equally delicious Each day the poet would sit and listen to the painter, encouraging him to give tell of the view from his window, for none of the other cells in that cell block had an outside facing window. The only site afforded to them was of the courtyard in the centre of the Prison below. The painter would describe the weather each day, with sun on the moat below framing the ducks and the geese, children playing with their dogs or singing an array of songs. The painter went to great lengths to describe the colours of the ladies and gentlemen’s dress, the walking sticks and, once a month, the passing circus that crossed the river Seine for the centre of Paris. The circus animals were often new and exotic. Market days were particularly interesting to the poet, for twice a week, all the farmers with their cattle, crops, geese and sheep would be described in minute detail, with the abstract air of the painters prose. painter sent to prison. Over the months their friendship and bond had grown to the point where the painter felt comfortable in enquiring of the poet the true reason for his incarceration. That day, much like any other, the painter asked the poet why he was in prison, to which he replied that he had written something that the Queen had found a little direct. The poet then asked the painter how he had managed to end up in that situation to which the painter responded that he had painted the King in a way that he saw him, which the King had found insulting, he had ordered the canvas to be destroyed and the It was indeed empty. The following day at the usual time the poet sat outside the cell door and quietly called for his friend. There was however no reply. The poet wandered slowly over to the gaoler’s guard and asked him who was in the cell. The guard responded that a pardon had come through the previous evening and that now no one was there. The poet was shocked, and as he caught his breath, commanded that if he were to continue writing the gaoler’s letters to his mistress he would personally wish to see that the cell was indeed empty for himself. Whereupon, the guard, without hesitation lifted up his bunch of keys and escorted the poet to the cell. He then placed the key into the top and bottom locks and with a mighty push opened the cast iron door. The poet stepped into the cell and looking and the four plain stone walls... gasped... for there was no window. The Bastille fell a few months later giving freedom to all. The poets name was Francois-Marie Arouet. Some now know him as the great writer Voltaire. TAMARA BECKWITH’S WEDDING IN VENICE If Grant’s personal $120m fortune has not hit the Ten Billion $US mark in the next five years as a result of the actions that Grant is currently engaged upon there will be more than one observer of the financial markets that would be surprised. Grant Cardone is factually the first U.S motivational speaker to be taken deadly seriously at the very top and the highest intelligence levels of the European finance markets. That fact alone speaks volumes. In fact, a few moments ago, as I just replaced the receiver to confirm a reservation at the Palace Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland my thoughts quite naturally alighted on the questions that I might be asked next week by those so very conservative Swiss Alp bound bankers and financiers who have, on the grapevine, heard of our friendship and inside knowledge of Mr. Cardone’s work and who are extremely keen to dip into the metaphorical fondue that is bubbling. Not that the Swiss or European Fund Managers like making more money particularly. www.grantcardone.com Tamara Beckwith and Georgio Veroni.

He spent his early years between Brooklyn and Los Angeles and was no stranger to hard work, since his dad owned and operated a fleet of trucks in the construction and paving business. The second oldest of twelve children (six boys and six girls), Won-G was raised in a tight-knit family structure and considers his business an “independent family business.” His older brother, Dubble-M, produced the majority of Won-G's music, and his father, Macneal, plays a critical role in all of his business ventures. “Pops is like – everything: our manager, guide, and spiritual consultant,” exclaims Won-G. “In fact, our military-style upbringing instilled in me the discipline I needed to make my mark on the streets.” Won-G’s 12-year music career, during which he's released five independent albums, has culminated in Real Sovage Music, LLC, his first non-underground label. Won-G's previous releases are: Shadow of the Rains (1993), Do It, Do It, Won-G (1995), Royal Impression (2000), No Better Than This It goes without saying for many that the U.S President is not the average American man, any more than Paris Hilton is not the average American young girl. But at times that is what our media would have us believe. And, it is quite amazing the degree that public opinion towards America has been harmed over the past few years. In these times of rising anti-Americanism in Europe and in other parts of the world it is very important that we do not forget exactly why it is that the good works of many have blessed America. I was personally fortunate enough to live in the United States for six years and during that time I had the good fortune and honour to meet many people from all over the United States. Some of those friendships have become some of the most cherished and valued in our life. I could not have hoped, on the whole, to have met a kinder and more generous group of souls during the time we spent there, and it is fair to say that living in America, meeting and getting to know Americans and learning their values and ideas gave me back my hope in humanity. And directly as a result of that hope we now have been able, at CAMELOT CASTLE, to forward that hope to thousands of other people. (www.camelotcastle.com) We should remember that America was founded by those determined to escape and oppose religious persecution in Europe and the founding fathers set in stone a declaration of Independence, a Constitution and a Bill of Rights that between them represent some of the most valuable documents ever written on behalf of mankind to help mankind and to secure mankind’s freedom. It is quite fitting that the hope and wonderfully positive feeling that people find here today at Camelot Castle were in part catalysed by the American values, hope and basic goodness that I ran into with Americans of all types when I lived there. The romantic in me would like to think that this was the same hope that was carried to America on the Mayflower from these British shores in the first place. And, igniting life and lives in the Americas, was the same hope that carried on in the hearts and minds of the men and women who forged a great nation now known as the United States of America. Whatever the truth is or from wherever that hope “sprung” it was unmistakable when I encountered it in the United States in 1991. In America the idea that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” is known and understood and sits at the core of the entire country’s existence. And, it is because of that innate understanding of freedom, anything is indeed possible. For those people who have existed in societies or areas where this idea has been suppressed or knocked out, it is sometime hard to really understand the USA and the people’s optimism but when one experiences this understanding for oneself it is quite priceless and unmistakable. A man’s dreams are sacred and when a man is allowed of given a free space to dream very often those dreams will come into reality. In America one is invited to dream, indeed one is invited to dream big! It is traditional in acknowledging America to roll out the stars and the well known figures of the day but today I want to invite you to think about and bless the real treasure of America. ITS ORDINARY PEOPLE. For the real value of the United States lies in its ordinary families, the men, women and children that form the vast majority of its people. They are often not the flag wavers or the egg throwers but they live their lives in the sincere service of others and while they are often silent they are indeed the true standard of the American nation. In short they are quite wonderful people. If you know such a person please do forward this on to them. And please send their details to us and let us know exactly why they are wonderful and why you appreciate them. In return we will be sending each and every one of them a prize direct from Camelot Castle, England. We think it’s important to validate and acknowledge those people. And, we think it’s our duty to do so. True Americans who have kept and keep the Right to Dream alive. Please visit us soon and do say hello at www.camelotcastle.com MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA! 11 TAKING THE URBAN MARKETS BY STORM IF EARLY REPORTS FROM THE BIGGEST music market in the world are true, then planet Earth is about to experience the Won-G effect.

Hutton. He has featured pin-up beauties (who are also personal friends) such as Carmen Electra, Traci Bingham and Paris Hilton in his videos. With the release of his latest album, “Rage of the Age,” which has already produced a hit single and video “Caught Up in the Rapture,” Won-G is poised to bolster his street credibility to the national level. Paying homage to the seminal 1980 Blondie hit “Rapture,” this Hip-Hop version of the Blondie classic has been downloaded over 600,000 times within the first month after its release on AOL’s music service. The hardcore, pulsating “Blind Man” and the Caribbean-inspired “I'm A Haitian” address prejudice against Haitians at home and abroad, while offering some of the historical accomplishments of his beloved homeland, Haiti, the world's first Black Republic in 1804. Won-G's impressive ability to rap and rhyme in four languages (English, French, Creole and Spanish) sets him apart from other hip-hop artists and creates fantastic opportunities in international markets. In fact, Won-G and his special blend of HipHop/R&B was presented to the world in January at MIDEM 2007 in Cannes, France. Real Sovage Music will make available, for the first time, a CD reflecting Won-G’s best work, as well as two professionally created videos, “Nothing’s Wrong” with Traci Bingham, and “Caught Up In The Rapture” with Paris Hilton and Gizelle D’Cole. The CD will also contain club versions, and will be ready for release this Spring. Although he could have capitalized on his friendship with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and several other notable hiphop artists, Won-G has always been determined to make it on his own terms. “’Rage of the Age’ is my first major release as far as national MTV, BET and commercial play are concerned. Even though we have a pop crossover record for the masses, we're still keeping the streets on lock. I try to stay as close to the Haitian community as possible because, first and foremost, they are my people and they have shown me incredible support over the years. I’ve built my own fan base by utilizing independent distributors and street teams, consisting mostly of immediate and extended family. My underground following has been most prevalent in Miami, New York, Boston, Little Haiti, Jamaica, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and, of course, Cali. So, with the mass street credibility that I have achieved over the last ten years, the next step is to get great national and international distribution deals,” exclaims the H a i t i a n - b o r n rapper/tycoon. Won-G is currently in the studio working on his new album, “Prince of the City.” While this album will feature Lionel Ritchie, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, T.I., Nelly, George Clinton, and several other big names like Fat Joe and Jadakiss, future releases will feature some of our old-school megastars like Patti Labelle, Smokey Robinson, and Stevie Wonder. rehabilitation of underprivileged children and at-risk youth. From the days of slingin’ CDs on the streets to cruising in his Rolls Royce Phantom, Won-G has always kept it real. Being subject to neither drink nor smoke, Won-G has done numerous “AntiDrug/Stay-In-School Tours” throughout the country and is an excellent role model for our youth. Always sympathetic to the less fortunate in life, The Haiti Boy never hesitates to say a kind word to any person who may cross his path. Being subject to neither drink nor smoke, Won-G has done numerous “Anti-Drug/Stay-InSchool Tours” throughout the country and is an excellent role model for our youth. In addition to his musical efforts, Won-G is extremely active in his community. Presently Won-G is serving as Haiti's Ambassador of Good Will for Children and as spokesperson for YAPI (Youth Advocate Program International). The Haiti Boy has a long history of supporting charitable causes, such as RADD (Recording Artists, Actors, & Athletes Against Drunk Driving), Priscilla Presley's Dream Foundation, and Malibu's Bony Pony Ranch, which is dedicated to the "There are so many rebellious kids out there and they need to have opportunities to channel their energy in constructive ways," says Won-G. "That's why I named my album ‘Rage of the Age.’ I want to use my music and my life to show our young people that ‘you can make a difference and make the world a better place.’ I was able to follow my dream and get to where I am in life because I had people who believed in me. I want the kids out there to know that they can accomplish everything I have and more!" 12 INDEPENDENT LOCALS OUR NEWSPAPER GROUP IS REPORTED BY MEDIA WEEK: WWW.LONDONLOCALS.CO.UK 020 8961 3345 INDEPENDENT LOCALS 13 PSYCHIATRIC "TREATMENTS" ARE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES If human rights include freedom from brutality and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, then there is no doubt that contemporary psychiatry’s major “treatment” fixations are human rights abuses.

Or order additional copies at www.cchr.org TOP TEN REASONS TO BUY IN Dubai 1 The Number One Place in The Sun Irresistible beaches, incredible hotels, brillianf food and a wealth of local culture make Dubai the best place to own a home. 2 Freehold Ownership You can own your home outright. Freehold guarantees given by developers Nakheel, Emaar and Estithamaar are endorsed by the Dubai Government and exist in contract. Thousands of foreign home-buyers and investors have flocked to buy freehold property in this, the most lucrative real estate market on earth, as a result. 3 Free From Tax There is no personal taxation or property taxation. Fees for property transfer and maintenance are low. 4 Stability And Growth Dubai is one of the fastest growing business destinations on earth. The economy grew by an annual average 8.6% during the last eight years. It is expected to grow at a similar rate for the next five years. 5 Stable Context Dubai doesnt operate in a vaccum. The economy of the United Arab Emirates as a whole has grownand is projected to grow at an average rate of 5% per annum, in comparison to a world growth rate of 2.8%. 6 Beautiful Homes Would David Beckham and other rich sun-seekers settle for anything less than a beautiful home? England's soccer stars were among the first to buy on dubai's The Palm, Jumeirah, Luminaries all the way from the US to India are buying in their wake. With specialist finishes the norm, you too can get the home of your dreams. 7 Rentable With extraordinary numbers of tourists visiting Dubai year on year (2.54 million hotel guests in 1998, 4.98 million in 2003) rents are likely to remain buoyant well into the future. Major population expansion from the increase in expatriates living in Dubai will ensure demand for rental accommodation remains lively- with yields currently at around an 8% yield. 8 Great Deals Average villa property prices in Dubai are five times cheaper per square metre than London's Docklands area, ten times cheaper than Central London, and half the cost of Singapore. 9 Sellable Oversupply? What oversupply? With an estimated shortfall of 40,000 units within the next five years, leaving an estimated 150,000 new residents without the possibility of buying Dubai property prices should remain an excellent investment opportunity in the longer term. 10 Livable Great City Living- Dubai's tax-free, liberal atmosphere combines with year-round sun and excellent business opportunities to make it a wonderful place to live for expatriates. 14 INDEPENDENT LOCALS Flitty’s Purposes Up on a cloud and far away, There sits ‘Flitty’ on a Summers Day. What does it do? No one quite knows, It actually quite likes to wiggle its toes. It likes to take a look, at this and that, And wonder where everybody’s at. Once in a while it will wander over, And Sniff the Kiss of a Bee on clover. But should the Bee become aware, Of Flitty’s gaze and helpful stare, Or try to see young Flitty’s face, Bang! - Flitty was never there in the first place. And that doesn’t mean that Flitty’s shy, But if you have ever wondered why The tick goes tock or the tock goes tick, It’s just another Flitty trick. Some go for Gold and dig in the ground. Not Flitty, It moves Thought around. And not your naughty stinky thought, Just what Flitty likes, or what it feels it ought. It flits over this and hovers over that, Who knows, Flitty might be sitting under your hat. When you think that Flitty’s gone, or was never there, It’s then that Flitty will give you a scare. So what is this purpose of this ditty? Or indeed are the purposes of our Flitty? The answer to that lies somewhere in the middle Of this ‘Flitty de Flit’ or perky riddle. So riddle me this or riddle me that, But just take a peek under Your hat. WWW.LONDONLOCALS.CO.UK 020 8961 3345 INDEPENDENT LOCALS Flitty’s Twinkle Is this the twinkle of our “Flitty”, Famed of fable and of ditty? It seems that Flitty’s been to sleep, But now has woken to help and heap Upon all those whom fortune favours, Wealth surpassing all the neighbours. Freedoms scarce imagined come To those upholding Freedoms won. So like the Raven in the sky, If YOU have ever wondered if The wind is free upon the cliff, Or if light is that free too. Recognise this… All the beauty and freedom that is true, Resides in YOU! John Mappin www.camelotcastle.com John Mappin 2008 15 INDEPENDENT LOCALS 16 WWW.LONDONLOCALS.CO.UK THE PURPOSE OF CAMELOT CASTLE INDEPENDENT LOCALS 020 8961 3345 PLEASE HELP US OUT WITH 17 IRINA’S THIS CREATIVE PROJECT: RESTAURANT Our purpose in creating Camelot Castle is to have a place where anyone who agrees that life can be enhanced by natural beauty and art can come and experience that enhancement immediately and first hand. Camelot has the purpose to provide a unique space where people can come to share both in the extraordinary natural beauty of our environment and in the extraordinary strength created when people of goodwill share their ideas and vision. Hi it's Ted here: In c.800 A.D. Harrun Al Rachid, the supreme ruler of Baghdad, governed and administrated the entire Arab world. At that time, Harrun Al Rachid, the conceptual architect of the first “Golden Age”, passed a law. That law stated, that every Thursday, every Master of every intellectual or physical discipline, be it Mathematics, Architecture, Religious, Political, or Creative must attend court and Al Rachid stated that, by law, they should and must share their ideas. This one act caused a ripple of innovation and new ideas that spread across the Arabic world and Mesopotamian culture up through Spain and half of Europe. Indeed, ideas that occurred then are still visible today across the civilised world. What was only known by a handful of people until today was the fact that Harrun Al Rachid also issued every law and every order to his empire using Formal Arabic Poetry. As early as 800 A.D. Harrun Al Rachid had isolated the power of the use of aesthetics and beauty in carrying a message across thousands of miles and great distances. For this reason, the poets and artists of Baghdad were some of the greatest that the world has ever known. The Arabian Nights were written in his honour and Harrun is immortalized in them. Harrun Al Rachid was probably one of the greatest champions of creativity that the world has ever seen. There are two other well known non-religious occasions in recent history, when men have risen to this extraordinary level of responsibility and wisdom. The first was the formation of the Round Table at the Court of Arthur Pendragon on the advice of Merlin, which cracked the suppression of the Dark Ages across Europe. The other was the structure and codification of the American Constitution by the Founding Fathers. The Founders of Camelot have been able to research deeper into the wisdoms of the East than ever before. They have been able to draw on the modern and workable wisdom embodied in the freedoms established and maintained by the United States. And, through unique access and friendships in the Middle East the Founders have isolated some previously unguessed at importances, heralded by Arabic culture, that will affect the entire future of mankind. I am working on a new artistic project and a new series of creations this week that I would really and sincerely appreciate your help with. PLEASE TRY THIS CHALLENGE: “With a friend or partner take a walk (anywhere but preferably somewhere new) and on that walk take a notebook and spot and make a note of a few things in your environment that are NOT in any way threatening to you." “Take a good look around and find and list several things that are unthreatening in you environment.” "Do this until you feel good." "As you do your walk together, if any of those things that you spot make you laugh or happy or if you experience an emotion of any kind, when you spot them, please do make a special note of them." When you get back from the walk do write a short description of what occurred and send it to me and let me know exactly what happened for you at tedstourton@camelotcastle.com ALSO FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TRY THIS: TRY NOT READING OR EXPOSING YOURSELF AND OTHERS TO ANY NEGATIVE MEDIA OR NEWSPAPERS AND DON’T WATCH ANY NEGATIVE NEWS AT ALL. You may be most interested in exactly how and why this changes your luck in life for the better! It is quite fascinating. If you have or experience wins or success with this do write to me and let me know what happens and if you like I will let you know about some other great actions that you can take immediately to improve your luck. Anyway let me know how it goes and we hope to see you soon at Camelot Castle. It's quite gloriously stunning here at this time of the year. All my love Ted Stourton The Camelot Castle Hotel at Tintagel has been transformed and the moment you enter this magnificent building you can feel Camelot's influence. The Hotel itself is a stunning building in its own right, but the transformation within lies at the heart of this unique location. John and Irina Mappin together with Ted Stourton, have pulled out all the stops to provide guests with an experience that you will definitely remember. When we chose to dine at Irina's Restaurant, it was a still and balmy, early June evening. The sky was ablaze with a fiery sun that was slowly setting over the Ocean, a plus, as the dining room itself is a magnificent space with stunning views of King Arthur's Castle and the North Cornwall coast from every window. On entering the dining room, my companion and I were greeted and seated by attentive and courteous staff who were always on hand but not obtrusive. The high ceilings, chandeliers, comfortable chairs and a European flavour to the decor, make the space elegant but homely. The food was very well presented and very good value for money, in fact the prices, which start from £19.95, do not reflect the sumptuousness of the food or the surroundings. I can highly recommend the Swordfish, cooked to perfection and very filling. The head chef hails from international hotels of Dubai. He and his 5 star team of chefs bring a Mediterranean feel and flavour to familiar food that is both fresh and exciting. My prediction is that Irina's Restaurant at Camelot Castle may soon be the number 1 destination for food lovers. So when you visit us at Camelot and share your ideas here at our Round Table realise that you are being and becoming part of a purpose line that is indeed both ancient and of the future. For these purposes are woven through the very fabric and the structure of our societies. They are the weft and warp of creativity. Truthfully, there has never been a time in the world when the sharing of ideas across the world is more important than right here right now. The importance of our artists to our society has been grossly underestimated and it is time that we began to value the contribution that our own creativity can make. Camelot is here today so that you can experience, tap into and be your creativity. Even the greatest barriers surrender to the creativity of man. Our purpose is for you to create yourself and thus, to enhance all life. Thousand Arts Painting, Decoration, Field work, Gardening, and any related labour.

JANEL HITS HOLLYWOOD BIG TIME IN GLAMOUR AT BRATZ CANNES IN THE LAST THREE YEARS Camelot Castle in Cornwall has become one of the most sought after holiday destinations in Britain. Located where Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote “Idylls of the King”, where Elgar composed his second symphony and Turner painted, Camelot Castle looks out over the majestic Tintagel island and the Atlantic. It commands a view that has been known to inspire heathens to prayer. The hotel has always been a favourite of artists and the guest book reads like a who’s who of the creative minds of the last centaury. Theories as to why this is the case and why artists have felt compelled to visit this location are as diverse and interesting as the mythology that surrounds the Castle itself. What is not in doubt is the extraordinary benefit and inspiration that artists have experienced as a result of arriving there. Julia Verdin, Janel Parrish And Bill Kravitz at Bratz Premiere JANEL PARRISH one of the stars of upcoming BRATZ feature film that has just opened in England is a Hollywood success story. Janel was discovered from thousands of hopefuls to play the lead role of Jade - the fashion conscious student who is also an ace at science. As well as a starring role in the movie - once the producers discovered she could sing - she landed a record deal with Geffen records and a music video of one of her songs which plays over the end credits of the movie. Janel has also landed a role on the popular TV series HEROES. She is managed by top LA management company -Rough Diamond Management known for having great eye for young talent. BRATZ is a charming delightful movie based on the well known Bratz dolls - the message of the film is for Kids to be themselves and embrace their identities JULIA VERDIN and Meredith Ostrom lent some glamour to the Cannes film festival - Julia wears Purple satin ABS dress and Meredith wears an Armani floral creation whilst promoting their upcoming projects. On the Seven Arts international boat sales agent for MEN DON'T LIE, NINE MILES DOWN, KNIFE EDGE as well as many other titles - they both said "The festival is a great opportunity to do great business and networking as well as have a lot of fun. We have had some great meetings since we have been here and it's been very productive". Also on the boat was British director Tony Hickox who was there to help close some final deals on his upcoming film KNIFE EDGE with Natalie Press. Today any artist who feels that their creativity or inspiration would benefit from staying at Camelot Castle is eligible to apply for their Artist in Residence Program. Indeed, in the last fourteen months Camelot Castle has activated and helped over three hundred and fifty artists from around the world who have benefited from this program. The program, run at the discretion of the owners of Camelot, John and Irina Mappin and Ted Stourton, is one of the most exciting, fresh and innovative ideas to influence the creative community for many years. that wavelength that most closely approximates the human spirit in “The whole purpose of the artist in native state.

We the society to flourish: The wavelength have found that when artists come to of aesthetics and beauty happens to be Camelot as “Artists in Residence” they get a boost of inspiration and connect up to a source of help and encouragement that is not always present in their lives.” “Some of the most enjoyable successes that we have had is with kids from the inner city schools who come here and experience Camelot and the extraordinary natural beauty here for the first time. You can see a light go on inside of them and you just know that nothing will or can ever extinguish it.” “It is very easy to take the creativity of artists for granted. Our own view is that any effort in the direction of helping artists is repaid one thousand times over so we continue to help and welcome artists to stay as part of the Artists in Residence Program as often as we can.” “Camelot is the first in a chain of Hotels that we have planned in Mythological locations around the world. Each of those hotels will welcome artists in the same way and will continue the tradition of helping artists that has successfully begun at Camelot.” Who qualifies as an artist for the program? On this John, Irina and Ted agree: “As soon as someone says they are an artist, why, then they are one. The decision to create is probably one of the most powerful decisions that a being ever makes and by validating that decision and giving it a window of space to be nurtured it is extraordinary what can occur.” www.camelotcastle.co.uk 34 INDEPENDENT LOCALS WWW.LONDONLOCALS.CO.UK ARE YOU AN 020 8961 3345 INDEPENDENT LOCALS Irina with new Friend of Camelot “ICON OF THE FUTURE?” Eco warior and writer Birgit Cunningham and Hollywood producer Julia Verdin.
