Scottish pupil named ‘Girl of the Year' for solar-powered blanket design
A Scottish schoolgirl has been named a 'Girl of the Year' by Time magazine after she invented a solar-powered thermal blanket to help rough sleepers keep warm. Rebecca Young, 13, came up with her design after seeing homeless people struggling in subzero temperatures on the streets of her home city, Glasgow, in winter. She said her message to young people was: 'If you see a problem you think you can fix, you can do something about it.' She joins nine other young women from across the world on the magazine's first list to spotlight girls' achievements. It builds on Time's existing 'Women of the Year' list with the express intention of recognising young female role models globally. Young's design – a solar-powered backpack with an electric blanket inside – won an engineering award in a UK-wide competition that received 70,000 entrants and Young has since developed it as a prototype. The engineering firm Thales, which sponsored the competition, subsequently manufactured 30 of the blankets and distributed them to six homeless charities in Glasgow earlier this year, with plans to make 120 more. Young, a student at Kelvinside academy, said: 'The idea came from seeing how hard it is for people living on the streets of Glasgow, especially during winter, and wanting to create something that could make a real difference. At first, it was just a drawing – I never imagined it would actually be made.' 'Knowing that something I came up with is helping others makes me feel really proud. By seeing themselves as builders, girls can challenge norms, pursue any passion and shape the world. It's easy to fall into thinking that building just means construction. It's so much more than that.' The list is launched in partnership with Lego Group, as an extension of their She Built That campaign, which challenges stereotypes and encourages girls to see themselves as builders. Other entrants on the list include Rutendo Shadaya, a 17-year-old Zimbabwean-New Zealander fantasy novelist, the Olympic skateboarder Coco Yoshizawa, 15, from Japan and an organ donation advocate, Naomi S DeBerry, 12, from the US. All 10 girls are re-imagined as Lego figures on the cover of the new edition. Launching the list, Time's senior editor, Dayana Sarkisova, said: 'These girls are part of a generation that's reshaping what leadership looks like today. Their generation understands that change doesn't require waiting for adulthood – it starts with seeing problems and refusing to accept them as permanent.' Young said: 'I think there's a really important message for any young person to look at what you're interested in and follow your dreams If you see a problem you think you can fix or contribute to, you can do something about it. And whatever you do, you should always follow your own path to what you want to achieve.'

UK-Based Forte Antique Quietly Builds a Global Backbone for Custom Music in the Creator Economy
With content platforms demanding speed, rights, and sonic originality, Forte Antique is becoming a go-to partner for businesses investing in audio as intellectual property. Sign up to our Scotsman Money newsletter, covering all you need to know to help manage your money. Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The internet's economy is no longer driven by just visuals and code — it's driven by sound. And while consumers are familiar with playlists and streaming hits, the real transformation is happening behind the scenes, where music is being treated less like entertainment and more like infrastructure. At the center of this shift is Forte Antique, a UK-based music production firm that has become a silent force in reshaping how content platforms, creative agencies, and app developers acquire their soundtracks. Unlike licensing-based models, Forte Antique delivers fully owned, custom-produced music — offering companies not access, but asset ownership. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad As digital ecosystems race to create immersive brand experiences, industry experts say that companies are rethinking how they source music — and who controls it. "Composing in the Shadows: A music producer reviews her session in a dimly lit studio — part of the growing workforce behind the fully owned audio economy." A Digital Supply Chain Powered by Sound From Derry to Dubai, platforms today rely on quick-turnaround content for mobile, video, podcasts, and interactive media. But the typical licensing model — often tangled with usage limits and royalty obligations — no longer suits the needs of fast-moving businesses. Enter firms like Forte Antique, whose business model mirrors that of a private-label manufacturer — only for music. Instead of offering searchable libraries to the public, Forte Antique works in the background: Building custom music packs by genre Crafting sonic identities for platforms and startups Delivering white-label soundtracks ready for rebranding Operating recurring supply models for enterprise clients Each track is composed, delivered, and assigned with zero reuse, zero royalties, and zero legal ambiguity. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'What we're seeing is the professionalization of music procurement,' said a UK-based entertainment lawyer. 'Forte Antique isn't selling tracks. It's delivering assets with business utility — like owning a film, codebase, or original design.' Why Business Ownership of Music Is Booming This quiet shift in strategy is rooted in real-world concerns: Avoiding copyright flags on social platforms Securing global usage rights from day one Differentiating brand sound from competitors Integrating music into long-term products and IP portfolios The growing demand spans industries. Royalty-free platforms want exclusive music to protect catalog value. Agencies seek scalable assets for client campaigns. Apps want UX sounds that don't expire. Even AI voice and metaverse developers are sourcing music they can control. Forte Antique, with a team of 50+ composers across Europe and Asia, has capitalized on this demand by offering flexible models that support growth, privacy, and platform-agnostic use. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Originality at Scale — Without Licensing Fatigue Whether it's ten acoustic themes for a mindfulness app or a hundred trap beats for a streaming hub, Forte Antique delivers sound at volume without compromising exclusivity. Clients choose from 14 musical genres and receive audio assets in multiple formats (WAV, MP3, STEMS) with embedded metadata. It's a clean transaction — built for integration, not repetition. 'You can think of them as a silent factory for the global audio layer,' said a creative director at a European content agency. 'They're not just producing music. They're supplying infrastructure.' What This Means for Business in the UK and Beyond Forte Antique's model highlights a larger business trend: the shift from subscription-based digital services to asset acquisition in creative industries. As UK startups and agencies explore ways to own more of their digital supply chain, services like this — invisible to the end-user — are becoming mission-critical.

Blaze FM review – high-energy history of pirate radio station
This story of a pirate radio station is also the story of a marginalised community. When they hear a bang on the door, the DJs of the illegal Blaze FM, youngsters and veterans alike, assume the authorities have spotted their antenna and come to shut them down. That is only rarely the case. As the early years of this century slip by, many other flashpoints from the outside world find their way into the Hackney council flat from where they broadcast. The attack on the World Trade Center brings anti-Muslim reprisals; violence associated with the drill scene leads to the banning of songs; the proliferation of knives results in the death of a friend; and redevelopment brings the threat of gentrification. The past, too, makes its mark: new information about the death of PC Keith Blakelock in the Broadwater Farm riots of 1985 gets the police interested in Hughbert Smith (Andrew Brown), the radio station founder who, under the government's hostile environment, faces deportation. It is a grim tally, made harder to swallow by the station's evident role in community cohesion. The dialogue can sometimes be clunky as the play races through the years, and the novelty of YouTube turns into the novelty of podcasting, but the seriousness of the theme and the sheer exuberance of the live music keeps energy levels high. Co-written by James Meteyard and grime MC Jammz, it is briskly directed by Maggie Norris for The Big House, which supports care-affected young people. Taking turns on the mic, a reticent Jason (Alexander Lobo Moreno) reinvents himself as Big J, a formidable MC, impressing fellow rappers Alpha (Aliaano El-Ali) and Pritstik (Marcus Reiss), plus the sweet-voiced Aisha (Anais Lone), an aspiring lawyer. Their grime and jungle beats are the defiant response of a community under siege. At Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, until 25 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews
