This time in the semester is extremely stressful for everyone. With all the deadlines to I love the fact that part of practicing hygge is basically to meet and exams to revise for, it can be exhausting even thinking about it. Within the past give yourself a bit of indulgence whenever you can to few months, it seems as if the Danish art of ‘hygge’ (pronounced hue-gah) is becoming lift your spirits. Mainly, they tend to focus this around increasingly popular. In English, hygge roughly translates to doing whatever you feel food, specifically cakes and sweet pastries, but also makes you comfortable and calm. For some, this could be sitting with a couple good hearty foods like broths and breads. Oh, the carbs, friends quietly indulging in some good food and drink (something I’m guessing all of us so much joy! If you’re on a diet and don’t want the have done in Newcastle) or for the more introverted, chilling in your favourite pyjamas temptation, then you could always indulge in a LIFESTY with a nice hot chocolate and a good book.

Burning out is not fun, and just ends up creating more stress if you know you have looming deadlines. Make sure you have one day a week to yourself, have a good lie-in, a nice relaxing bath or shower and watch a nice film and eat your favourite food. Giving your brain a rest retains your energy and makes you more productive, meaning that when you return to your work, you will have a much clearer head and will probably work at a faster speed, which in turn means more time resting and chilling out. It’s a win- win scenario. Get out of the house (or library) This tip is so important, try and remove yourself from the place/s you work whenever you feel as if things are getting too much. Even if you’ve only wrote 100 words in two hours, or if you can’t remember the information off one of your flash cards, it is okay and happens to everyone. If you aren’t working well for whatever reason, take some time to chill out and get back to it a few hours later or maybe the day after, if you have to strain yourself so much, the work you put in won’t pay off and you’ll be left even more anxious.

Here are five tips to help keep you calm through exam season: 1 - Look After Yourself Looking for somewhere to live? It sounds simple enough, but as a student you’re probably not eating your five-a-day or getting enough sleep. Eating well and resting properly will help your body cope with stress and make you more prepared to tackle your revision. 2 - Make Lots of Lists Most of the time, just writing down everything you have to do can take a lot of weight it’s never too late to find off your shoulders.

John Henry Warburton Master of Philosophy Southampton Solent University Faculty of Media, Arts and Society July 2010 Tutor Mike Richards 3 of 3 Picture Radio: Will pictures, with the change to digital, transform radio? By John Henry Warburton Abstract This work looking at radio over the last 80 years and digital radio today will consider picture radio, one way that the recently introduced DAB1 terrestrial digital radio could be used. Chapter one considers the radio history including early picture radio and television, plus shows how radio has come from the crystal set, with one pair of headphones, to the mains powered wireless with built in speakers. These radios became the main family entertainment in the home until television takes over that role in the mid 1950s. Then radio changed to a portable medium with the coming of transistor radios, to become the personal entertainment medium it is today. Chapter two and three considers the new terrestrial digital mediums of DAB and DRM2 plus how it works, what it is capable of plus a look at some of the other digital radio platforms. Chapter four examines how sound is perceived by the listener and that radio broadcasters will need to understand the relationship between sound and vision. We receive sound and then make pictures in the mind but to make sense of sound we need codes to know what it is and make sense of it. Chapter five will critically examine the issues of commercial success in radio and where pictures could help improve the radio experience as there are some things that radio is restricted to as a sound only medium.

The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy.

    Berry, Richard (2013) Radio with pictures: Radio visualization in BBC national radio. The Radio Journal, 11 (2). pp. 169-184. ISSN 1476-4504 Downloaded from: http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/id/eprint/5210/ Usage guidelines Please refer to the usage guidelines at http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/policies.html or alternatively contact [email protected]. Radio with Pictures: Radio Visualisation in BBC National Radio Richard Berry University of Sunderland Abstract. Radio has always had pictures. The ones the listener created in their own minds and this is, most of us agree, one of the medium's greatest strengths. However, radio is increasingly consumed on a digital platform (such as DAB Radio, Digital TV, a mobile device or a computer) on devices with screens, rather than a dial. This creates a problem for radio because when we look at the device we are listening to we see a screen that often lacks rich content. The process of Radio Visualisation is about filling this space. This papers focus, though, is the other ways in which radio is visualising itself online in a process that deploys transmedia storytelling techniques that build relationships with the audience, builds brands and helps broadcasters to tell stories in ways never before possible. In the spring of 2011 2.84 million British TV viewers watched a radio programme on their Televisions. They were tuning in via interactive television (or the 'red button') services to watch the BBC Radio One breakfast presenter Chris Moyles attempt to break a world record for the longest radio programme. The BBC installed a series of fixed cameras in the programme’s regular studio at the BBC's Yalding House studios, with added 'roving' cameras to allow the presenters to broadcast from other parts of the building and a cafe across the street.

McCombe, Ph.D. April 2015 Abstract In 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his first novel regarding the detective Sherlock Holmes. He would go on to publish another three novels and 56 short stories detailing the great detective’s endeavors. Today, 128 years later, Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes is as popular, as relevant, and as alive as ever. Adaptations continue to be made and achieve success, including the BBC’s mini-series, Sherlock. This modern adaptation and its interpretation of Conan Doyle’s characters, novels, stories, plots, and themes allow for a unique combination of Victorian and Modern England.
