National blood stocks have fallen by 7% over the jubilee weekend according to latest figures from NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) which today launches its annual awareness campaign, National Blood Week, to urge the public to donate blood.
During the National Blood Week recruitment drive additional appointments have been created and selected blood donor sessions have extended opening hours to give donors more flexibility to schedule a visit. Regional recruitment events will also be driving awareness and enabling people to sign up.
To launch the 2012 National Blood Week, Made In Chelsea’s Rosie Fortescue has rolled her sleeves up to recreate the heroic ‘Rosie the Riveter’ WWII poster and issue a rallying cry for new and existing blood donors to come forward. Rosie Fortescue, who shares her name with the 1940s poster girl, said: “This woman clearly knew how to get things done, and I feel honoured to become a modern day campaigner for the national blood stock build. Blood supplies are vital to the health service and every unit of blood can save or improve the lives of up to three people.”

Anya Marina’s third album, ‘Felony Flats’ is filled with sultry vocals, wry lyrics and hint of innocence.
“It speaks to a lot of things I was going through at the time,” said Marina.
The sassy songwriter made an unexpected move from sunny San Diego to Portland, Oregon where she wrote and recorded the album. Her sound on the LP certainly reflects the change of scenery.
“Felony Flats is my proudest achievement…I love this record so much,\\\\\\\

Music composed by Rokilis, Video made by Rokilis. This
musical project was a little rushed, I decided to include footage of
myself training which contains old footage also. It was interesting
trying to produce music again and working on my video production
skills. Overall it was a good effort. *Vocal audio towards the end may not be heard on some systems* (NOTE:
some of the training methods used were all done in experimentation over
the years, so I decided to include some of the things I have done
whether effective or not)
