Stratford City http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-olympics/article-23984525-pound-10m-dealmakes-stratford-city-official-olympic-shopping-mall.do 

Westfield's new Stratford City today became the world's first official Olympic shopping centre in a £10million deal.



Europe's largest urban shopping mall will get an Olympic makeover using the London 2012 brand and logo.



The London 2012 Olympic Stadium is the most sustainable ever built. With steel a resource in short supply, the build was made 75 per cent lighter in terms of steel use than other stadiums. It also features a low-carbon concrete, made from industrial waste and containing 40 per cent less embodied carbon than usual The Stadium will have a capacity of 80,000 during the Games: 25,000 permanent seats in its permanent lower tier, and a temporary lightweight steel and concrete upper tier holding a further 55,000 spectators that can be removed after the Games On 11 February 2011, the Olympic Park Legacy Committee selected West Ham United of the English Premier League as the preferred bidder to assume ownership of the Stadium after the Games.

Life after School http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11677862 

Universities in England will be able to charge tuition fees of up to £9,000 per year from 2012, as the government transfers much of the cost of courses from the state to students.



The changes in tuition fees will apply to universities in England. Scottish students studying in Scotland do not have to pay any fees. In Northern Ireland and Wales, fees are currently charged up to a maximum of £3,290.

http://www.apprenticeships.org.uk/ What are Apprenticeships? 



As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognized qualifications. Anyone living in England, over 16 years-old and not in full-time education can apply.

Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices’ ability and the industry sector. The minimum salary is £2.50 per hour (From 1 October 2011 this will be £2.60 per hour); however, many apprentices earn significantly more.

Lack of Asian Involvement in Football http://www.kickitout.org/1054.php   

Birmingham bhangra star Jaz Dhami is working to increase the number of Asians involved in football by training to be an FA football coach.

"There's a lack of Asians playing professional football because of parental pressure and I want to do my bit to help break down the barriers.

"When I was young I was really into football and when I got involved in music I completely locked off from football.”

There is no question that football has come a long way in recent times in involving ethnic minorities in the game. There is still much work to do, particularly in bringing more people from the Asian communities into the sport, but it is important to recognise that we now have the principles of achieving genuine equality and diversity embedded in our thinking and in our strategy.

Driving http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/index.htm 



The theory test is made up of a multiple-choice part and a hazard perception part. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. Find out what happens during both parts of the theory test and how the scoring works.

The driving test is designed for you to show your practical skills and understanding of the Highway Code and the theory of driving safely. Throughout the test your examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving. Find out about the different parts of your driving test.

http://www.driving-test-success.com/passed/car_insurance.html Cheap car insurance for young and new drivers is a rarely realised promise. The best any young or new driver can do is find and buy the cheapest insurance premium on offer. What follows is a guide designed to help all new and young drivers reduce the cost of their car insurance.

Firstly, the reason cheap young drivers car insurance is a distant reality is simple - new and young drivers are a bigger risk to insure than the average, more experienced car driver. These are the facts:

   

Newly qualified UK drivers are more likely to have an accident during their first year of year of driving than at any other time.

Per mile of driving, the risk of an accident involving injury or death is about seven times greater for 17-20 years old than for those aged 40 or over.

Young drivers under 21 are involved in 15% of all car accident deaths.

New drivers make up just 10% of licence holders, but are involved in 29% of accidents.

Conspiracies http://www.trueconspiracies.com/ 

The powerful conspirators are made up largely of the international bankers, and the Illuminati, which is a super-rich organization, which controls the mainstream media, workforce, education system, companies, banks, energy supplies and governments. They are controlled by the richest people in the world such as the super-rich Rothschild and Rockefeller families. They also hide behind many organizations such as the United Nations, the WTO and the Council on Foreign relations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden_death_conspiracy_theories 

The death of Osama bin Laden gave rise to various conspiracy theories, hoaxes, and rumours. These include the ideas that bin Laden had been dead for years, or is still alive. Doubts about bin Laden's death were fuelled by the U.S. military's disposal of his body at sea, the decision to not release any photographic or DNA evidence of bin Laden's death to the public

All this information could be used within my final piece. I just have to choose from one of these ideas taking into account which is most viable and would appeal to my audience most.
