Cast your mind back a couple of weeks, and you may remember the Workplace post from Brad Binding regarding the 4BallR tour of the UK that he was taking part in to raise awareness for the Campaign Against Living Miserably’s (C.A.L.M) Best Man Project.
Back in January’s edition of Switched On, we ran (pun possibly intended…) a piece on Charlie Ramsay, Alex Crabb and Dan Spence who were partnering with London Youth to run the London Marathon.

Firstly a disclaimer: I am not a 'knower' of things. But sometimes I think I know “facts”. That’s very much what this column is about. I hope you enjoy and find something to consider here. At the same time I implore you to check what I’m writing. In fact, it’s a good idea to fact check anything you read.

Malta has had its fair share of tragedy – notably the Ottoman Empire’s ‘Great Siege of Malta’ and the part they played in WWII, awarding them the unfortunate accolade of the most heavily bombed country per square metre. The capital of Valletta has extensive shopping and a great nightlife, restaurants and trendy wine/whiskey bars covering the compact city centre. And the views… well you will have to see for yourself, but let’s just say – breath-taking.
You may have heard about meditation and breathing exercises as a way of promoting health and wellbeing, and thought “Really? How can a little breathing and thinking have all these so-called benefits? Breathing and thinking - do we not do that every day?”
