From www.juliasuzuki.com

Julia has always had a love of all things magical, and as a child grew up listening to the magical sounds of fair rides and animals from a theme park across the stream at the bottom of her garden. That upbringing, and a love of reading, nature and the outdoors fed her colourful imagination and inspired her to become an author.

As a Mother and a self confessed ‘little girl’ inside Julia loves to relate to the open imagination of children and has proved herself to be popular with them, as success at signing at Waterstones and the National Press have validated. Julia has visited several schools in the Tamworth area.

From a very early age Julia was drawn to dance, books and fashion. Julia went to the local ballet school and took her RAD exams and was privately tutored by a London School of Music examiner in Speech and Drama where she studied and recited literature. Her love of fashion design grew from mimicking her Mother, who self-made some of her clothes and influenced Julia to express uniqueness and femininity.

Julia has her own range of dancewear manufactured by the company Dancehouse.

Julia Suzuki Quotes

Everyone in life has a special gift and when we find it and use it, then young or old, we find that happy place in our hearts.

I started with an initial idea and it just grew, it’s difficult to say exactly how but I’m a big dreamer and I read a lot about spiritual things so it seems to come easily to me. (about creating the Land of Dragor)

Follow your dream, be persistent, take advice and listen to your heart. If you have talent and vision keep going and turn every stone. Be as imaginative and unconventional as possible to get noticed!

Sir Ernest (Ernie) William Titterton Ph. D. (4 March 1916 in Tamworth, UK – 8 February 1990) was a nuclear physicist and professor.

Early Years

Ernest William Titterton, was born of William Alfred and Elizabeth Titterton in Kettlebrook, Tamworth on 4 March 1916.

Titterton’s primary education that began next door to the family home in Kettlebrook at a single-room school for infants, starting at the age of four. After two years, his studies moved to a boys-only school in Glastcote, Tamworth. This council school in a mining town had basic science facilities (uncommon at that time), and it was there that his interest in science was first kindled. At ten, Titterton won a scholarship to attend Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar school (Tamworth), where he performed consistently well. After topping the class frequently, he entered to sixth form, which was at that time reserved for gifted students expected to continue to study at a tertiary level. Ernest studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, and under the tutelage of physics teacher William Summerhayes, he thrived.

In 1934, Titterton was accepted into University of Birmingham on a scholarship basis. Due to his achievements at secondary school, Ernest was allowed to begin his tertiary studies with second-year subjects, and even then he was said to have found them easy. He obtained his Bachelor of Science in 1936 with distinctions in both pure and applied mathematics and, of course, physics. An honours year quickly followed, and Titterton topped the year in Physics.

One year later, Ernest was presented with a University scholarship, and worked in a research position under Professor Mark Oliphant. The project he shared with another student was to determine if the weak alpha activity of samarium was due to the electron or gamma ray components of cosmic rays. Upon completion of these experiments, Titterton was awarded a Master of Science in 1938. As a requirement of his scholarship, Ernest was required to become a teacher for a year. This met a lukewarm reception, but he graduated from the Diploma in Education, and was even awarded the Elizabeth Cadbury Prize for achieving top in the class.

After a call from Oliphant, who wanted to develop a small wavelength radiation generator, Titterton worked as a research officer with the British Admiralty for the early part of the second world war, working on radar systems. Though the work was classed top-secret, he was allowed to submit it to Birmingham and was awarded a PhD in physics in 1941.

Moving into Nuclear Research

After his studies in radar, Titterton decided to pursue an interest in nuclear technology and joined the British Scientific Mission in USA, which was working on the development of the first nuclear weapons. In July 1945 he was a senior member of the timing group that fired the first nuclear weapon at Alamogordo, New Mexico. A year later he was promoted to Chief Instrumentation Advisor to the Task Force Commander at the Bikini Atoll nuclear weapons testing facility. For the following year, he was Head of Electronics in the Los Alamos laboratory.

For the next three years, Titterton headed Nuclear Emulsion and Cloud Chamber Research at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell, Oxfordshire.

To Australia

In August 1950, Titterton was given the role of Foundation Professor to the Chair of Nuclear Physics at Australian National University. However, his international interests contintued and he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of London and the American Physical Society, both in 1952. In 1954 a similar honour was bestowed upon his as one of the earliest fellows of the Australian Academy of Science.

For the next thirty years, Titterton held high positions on various science, defense and nuclear-related committees, institutes and councils in Australia, including: Australian Atomic Weapons Tests Safety Committee (1954-1956), Australian Atomic Energy Commission’s Scientific Advisory Committee (1955-1964), Council of the Institute of Defence Science, Department of Supply (1957-1972), Australian Atomic Weapons Tests Safety Committee (1957-1973), National Radiation Advisory Committee (1957-1973), Federal Government’s Defence Research and Development Policy Committee( 1958-1973), Council of the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (1960-1984), Council of the Australian Academy of Science (1964-1966), Advisory Committee of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (1967-1981)

During this time, Titterton continued to pursue his academic interests and was the Dean of Research School of Physical Sciences, Director of Research School of Physical Sciences (1969-1973), a professor of nuclear physics (1973-1981) a member of council at Macquarie University (1978-1984)

During his career, Titterton received a plethora of awards, most notably being appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, and Knighthood in 1970.

Retirement

Titterton officially retired in 1981, but retained a position as a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Nuclear Physics of Australian National University. He divorced in 1986, and was injured seriously in a car accident, which left him wheelchair-bound. He died on 8 February 1990.

Jemma Palmer (born 4th october 1986) is an English model and professional wrestler. She is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment, set to train in their developmental facility Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). She is also known by the name Inferno, which she used in the 2008 British television series Gladiators.

Jemma Palmer

Modelling

Palmer grew up modelling under the encouragement of her mother, winning the Little Miss Midlands and Miss Littlesea competitions as a child. As an adult she entered a number of competitions, becoming a finalist in the 2006 Musclemania Britain, Miss Hawaiian Tropic, Ms USA Dream Bikini Body and Miss Maxim UK competitions. She also came third in the Maxim Little Black Book UK modelling competition.
She went on to model in many publications including Loaded, WWE Magazine, FHM and Fabulous Magazine. Her modelling work was compared to video game character Lara Croft by the Daily Mail.

Gladiators

While her mother encouraged Palmer into modelling, her father encouraged her into athletics. She enrolled in the cadets where she began to train in climbing, abseiling and amateur wrestling. She would later gain a purple belt in submission wrestling.
As a fan of Gladiators growing up, when rumours mounted of a revival show in 2008 she began sending promotional material to television companies. Her wrestling manager landed her an audition for the similarly timed American Gladiators revival, but she received a call up for Sky1′s British version days later and passed their fitness test. She performed in both series of Gladiators under the name Inferno, sporting red hair and a fiery, flirtatious personality. Despite not appearing on the American version, BBC America aired Gladiators in the United States. As a cadet, she also later appeared on Sky1′s Battle of The Forces which pitted the British Army, Royal Navy and RAF against each other.

British circuit (2005–present)

Along with her other exploits Palmer also was a fan of wrestling, particularly the original incarnation of D-Generation X. In 2005, she began to appear for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) mainly as a valet for Doug Williams. This led to her having a try out match with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) alongside Katarina Waters who went on to become Katie Lea Burchill. Although she was not signed, she was later offered a scholarship to train at Ultimate Pro Wrestling. During her time on the circuit, Palmer filmed a reality television show based on pro wrestling as one of the three lead stars.
After much training, she was booked for her debut match against Jetta at Pro-Wrestling: Eve’s first show on 8 May 2010 in Sudbury, Suffolk. Before her match with Jetta she suffered an injury in her hand but wrestled the match anyway, with a storyline written in that Jetta attacked her and goaded her into a match while she was explaining the injury to the crowd. The referee stopped the contest and awarded it to Jetta out of concern for Palmer’s health.

Florida Championship Wrestling (2009–present)

On June 29, 2009 it was announced that Palmer had signed a contract with Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).

Big Brother (2011)

Jemma entered the UK Big Brother house during the shows twelfth series in 2011. Her younger sister Faye Palmer was an original housemate on the show, and was still a contestant when Jemma arrived on Day 29.
