Swiss entrepreneur and skydiver Marc Hauser jumped as the first man ever into the jet stream in June 2018, from a height of 7400 m (24,300 ft.). His goal is to underline the potential of high-altitude winds as a worldwide energy source.

Biography a Five-Time Grammy-Winning Musician, Actor
Biography A five-time Grammy-winning musician, actor, artist, activist and humanitarian, Ziggy Marley has established his presence on the public stage for over a quarter-century. His newest release, Ziggy Marley In Concert, is a collection of live recordings from his 2012 Wild and Free World Tour. The album, which will release digitally on iTunes December 18th before its worldwide physical release on January 15th of 2013, continues to convey Marley’s overall message of love, freedom, hope and challenge. The album features live tracks from his Grammy-nominated and critically acclaimed 2011 release Wild and Free, including the funky and fun-loving “Forward To Love,” the upbeat groove-driven “Reggae in My Head,” and the rock-fueled reggae anthem “Wild and Free.” Live versions of the Bob Marley classics “War” and “Is This Love” also appear on the album as well as Ziggy’s hits “Tomorrow People” and “True To Myself.” In recent years, Marley has been involved in a slew of projects including an extensive world tour that spanned most of 2011 and 2012. Among those dates was a group of themed tribute shows, “Tuff Gong Worldwide and Ziggy Marley Salute the Legends of Reggae,” which played at various Southern California venues in 2012, including a sell-out show at the Hollywood Bowl. Additional projects include serving as executive producer of the celebrated documentary MARLEY(Shangri-La Entertainment), hosting his own monthly radio show, Legends of Reggae, on SiriusXM’s The Joint, and launching a GMO-free food line called Ziggy Marley Organics.

Dame Fiona is calling for schools to “take the initiative” and change the way they teach children, with a block of time spent in the outdoors every week. Dame Fiona said that dependence on the computer and anxious parents obsessed with their children’s safety were keeping young people shut up indoors more than ever before, with “worrying” consequences for their health. “Children are missing out on the sheer joy and physical and mental well-being of being able to play outside and experience nature in all its messiness,” she said. The creep of urban sprawl had destroyed many places where children could once play safely, she said.

Take the Long Way!
JUNE l 2020 grothlawfirm.com (877) 375-7001 Take The Long Way! LONG WAY ROUND: In 2004, actors Ewan McGregor (of Star Wars fame) and Charley Boorman singlehandedly gave rise to the Adventure Touring segment of motorcycling with their 19,000 mile “Long Way Round” ride from London to New York. LONG WAY DOWN: The subsequent TV show chronicling their journey through Europe, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Siberia and then North America became a hit and spawned a sequel a few years later called “Long Way Down” which saw the boys go from the northern tip of Scotland to Capetown, South Africa. LONG WAY UP: Sixteen years later they suited up again to take on the challenge of riding the “Long Way Up” from the Southern Tip of South America to Los Angeles. This time the challenge was doing the entire ride on LiveWire electric motorcycles! When the news of their bike choice broke, the negative swell was quick to rise, but it was a smart move on their part to create a fresh and entertaining show and get the likes of Harley-Davidson on board. McGregor is a big proponent of the new “wave” of electric transportation and wanted to show the viability of the technology in the most challenging of circumstances. Patagonia and Bolivia were especially difficult as the Andean Plateau is known for its rough roads and little-to-no modern amenities. Watch this interview with Jimmy Fallon and hear what they did when they ran out of juice. Very funny! http://getmore-info.com/longwayup Win a 2020 Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 FEELING LUCKY?

John Boorman
13/15 John Boorman BFI Southbank to honour the director with a BFI Fellowship on 25 March followed by a career retrospective throughout April On 25 March John Boorman will be presented a BFI Fellowship – the highest accolade that the nation’s leading organisation for film can award. To mark the occasion he will be interviewed by Michel Ciment, on-stage at BFI Southbank, to launch a major retrospective of his work and to celebrate his recent 80th birthday. There will also be an Extended Run and nationwide release of Point Blank (1967) and an exhibition of artefacts from Boorman’s personal archive, on display in the Mezzanine – including a dress worn by Helen Mirren in Excalibur (1981). To complement this season there will be an exclusive run of Me and Me Dad (2011), an intimate insight of life in the Boorman family, directed by John’s daughter Katrine Boorman (who will appear in conversation on 27 March, following a preview of her film). According to Philip French, John Boorman is ‘one of the greatest filmmakers this country has produced’. He began his career as a documentary director for the BBC with Citizen 63 (BBC, 1963) and The Newcomers (BBC, 1964), and this season will feature these early works and follow his varied filmmaking career to date. His first feature film, Catch Us If You Can (1965), was a showcase for the Dave Clark Five and caught the attention and support of Pauline Kael. It was followed by The Quarry: Portrait of a Man as a Parylsed Artist (BBC, 1966), inspired by Fellini’s 8½ and events in Boorman’s own life.
