He initially undertook postings within the air transport and human resources spheres. Subsequent career highlights included Command of Support Wing at the Hercules C-130 base at RAF Lyneham and Assistant Director Personnel & Resilience Policy where he initiated and evolved the then innovative RAF Resilience & Stress Management Policy. His final RAF tour was within the UK Defence Academy where he was responsible for developing links between Defence and the Higher Education sector. Richard Castle was seriously injured in the Paddington Rail Crash in West London on 5 October 1999. Following this episode, and his treatment for severe burn injuries, he undertook a PhD research project at Cranfield University into the “Psychological Aspects of Burns Trauma” which was completed in 2006. Additionally, he was seconded to the NHS National Burn Care Review Team for 9 months in 2005 to assist in the development of the concept of psychosocial rehabilitation within a holistic NHS Standard for Burn Care. Richard Castle left the RAF in 2012 and is now an independent mental health policy consultant with particular interests in preparing for, and responding to, collective trauma events and in burns rehabilitation. Since July 2017 he has been Director, Clinical & Compliance for the Grenfell Hope Project, a volunteer-based organisation founded with the aim of honing the long-term psychological resilience of the local community following the Grenfell Tower Fire. Richard is also an accredited Instructor for the Mental Health First Aid programme, a Governor of Gastrells Community Primary School in Stroud and an elected member of the Gloucestershire County Council Children and Families Overview and Scrutiny Committee. Additionally, he is a Vice President of Deptherapy who run specially adapted scuba diving programmes for seriously injured UK Armed Services veterans. He was also the past Chair of the Beyond Fear Foundation which provides peer support for people in Gloucestershire living with eating disorders, and a Trustee/Director of Changing Faces, a national charity relating to disfigurement issues. From 2013 to 2016 he was the elected Lead Public Governor of the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, responsible for providing mental health and social care services within Gloucestershire. In 2014 Richard acted as Lead Facilitator at an International Conference and Workshop on Setting Standards for Psychosocial Rehabilitation for Victims of Acid and Burn Violence organised by the Acid Survivors Foundation in Bangladesh. He visited the country again in April 2015 as part of a team to launch the Mental Health First Aid Bangladesh initiative under the wing of the Innovation for Wellbeing Foundation for whom he is also the UK Advisor. Additionally, he is an Ambassador for the Community Against Poverty Foundation and assisted in the planning for the first Mental Health & Wellbeing Centre in Bangladesh which opened in Sylhet in 2017 and in training volunteers involved in the Humanitarian Relief programme for the Rohingya refugees in the country. An Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Practising Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, Dr Richard Castle has also undertaken research and published on the impact of, and rehabilitation from, trauma and has contributed to TV and radio programmes, conferences, training courses and the international media on the theory and practicality of the psychological effects of trauma. Richard Castle lives in Stroud, Gloucestershire, with his wife (Olya), 12 year old son (Alex) and twin daughters (Laura and Eliane) born in 2009. He is an avid supporter of the Arsenal Football Club; other hobbies include trail half-marathons, family activities and political biographies. .

  • Shakespeare's Ghosts Live
    Shakespeare’s Ghosts Live “Gradually, but surely, modern neuroscience is transitioning to a perspective that includes consciousness as a fundamental element in our worldview and not an incidental by-product of the brain. Along with this shift is a new appreciation of the complexity of the psyche, and the realization that many of our forebears understood aspects of consciousness that we unfortunately have shunned. Dr Annekatrin Puhle and Dr Adrian Parker-Reed have combed Shakespeareana and modern consciousness research for evidence of the richness of the psyche in the form of ghosts, spirits, and psychical phenomena. They show that these happenings remain an essential part of who we are, and are manifestations of healthy human function. This wonderfully illustrated, eloquent book is a reclamation project for the human psyche, an effort to take back what we have forfeited in our modern era. After reading Shakespeare’s Ghosts Live, you will never think of Shakespeare, ghosts, or yourself in the same way.” —Larry Dossey, MD, author, One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters “Talking about psychic phenomena in academia is still not regarded as politically ‘correct’, say the authors of this meticulously researched and engagingly written study of a long neglected area of Shakespeare’s vast survey of the totality of the human condition. This attitude, they add, amounts to ‘wilful disregard of current interest in exploring altered states of consciousness’. It has led to attempts to replace the term ‘parapsychology’ by ‘anomalistic psychology’, implying this to be no more than a ‘deviant belief’.

  • Castle Rock Vision 2030 - Community Input Summary: October 2013
    Castle Rock Vision 2030 - Community Input Summary: October 2013 During the month of September, nearly 500 individuals participated in outreach activities associated with the Town of Castle Rock’s Vision 2030 process. Activities included multiple community workshops and an online Community Preferences Survey. The following is a summary of feedback received in response to specific questions regarding existing and potential new goals for consideration as part of the Vision 2030 process. Many participants provided detailed written comments in addition to providing answers to the specific questions posed as part of the survey. Major themes that emerged from the written responses are noted where relevant. Highlighted themes reflect those that were raised by a large number of participants and were expressed in multiple sections of the survey. GOALS WHERE MORE INPUT IS NEEDED 1. Should the Town’s goal of encouraging a broad range of housing to provide for all household types, ages, and income ranges within the community be carried forward (Community Planning, Goal 3)? a. Polling results: 73% of respondents support carrying forward this goal either as is (56%) or with modifications (17%). b. Recommendation: Carry this goal forward as is as part of the Vision 2030 document as is; explore this issue in greater detail as part of the I-25 Subarea Plan process and ultimately as part of an updated Comprehensive Plan. Summary of Written Comments Stronger support for achieving diversity by focusing on senior, attached single-family, and townhomes vs. multi-family housing. Limited support for multi-family housing generally, and a perception by a number of respondents that an increase in lower cost housing or multi-family housing may in turn increase crime rates and result in security and maintenance concerns.

More Castle for MeBy Kindle CustomerI love it. I can hear Richard Castle's voice when Jameson Rook speaks, and I can see Detective Beckett's mannerisms every time Nikki Heat gets defensive or kicks butt. It's like I have two Castles. I have the one on TV, and I have the alternate-universe Castle and Beckett in the book - although they go by the names Rook and Heat. I say alternate-universe because In Naked Heat, the author takes Rook and Heat and sends them down a path that resembles parts of the show, but has enough difference in the storyline that it's very easy to keep the show and the book separated in one's mind. I'm already looking forward to the next book, with Rook and Heat continuing down the path of their storyline as Castle and Beckett move further down their similar but different path, giving us two versions of Castle to follow. It feels like Christmas has come early.If I had picked this up off the shelf, knowing nothing about the tv show, I would have still loved it just as much, and would be looking for more from this author.

  • From Casa to Castle: Bolivian Architecture in the Evo Era
    The Avery Review Max Holleran – From Casa to Castle: Bolivian Architecture in the Evo Era The image of the cholita has preoccupied Bolivia for decades— Citation: Shantel Blakely, “You Are the Weather: Philippe Rahm’s A Sentimental Meteorology,” in sometimes reviled but, recently, renowned. The archetypical cholita is a The Avery Review, no. 14 (March 2016), http:// short, middle-aged woman wearing a long dress with petticoats, a shawl, averyreview.com/issues/14/you-are-the-weather. and an emblematic bowler cap atop her thickly braided hair.

She is often García . seen waiting for buses to and from the Andean countryside, shouldering an absurdly large bundle on her compact frame. If cholitas are taken to signify an actual demographic group, it is Bolivia’s rural poor, who for centuries have kept indigenous languages alive and traded between towns and villages while maintaining a distinguishing country aesthetic. To urban Bolivians, their bowler hats and braids seem to proclaim that cholitas —despite their frequent contact with cities—have not forgotten where they truly come from. Yet these women and their families have lived in informal urban settlements for generations, often suffering everything from official neglect to acts of outright racism. The lives of cholitas changed dramatically with the election of Evo Morales in 2006, along with their neighborhoods—usually vast, high-altitude slums, which are now slowly being fitted with better transportation and public services.
