This story first appeared in the Feb. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Downton Abbey has yet to launch a major film star, but that could change with Lily James, whose work as troublemaker Lady Rose landed her the lead in Disney's live-action Cinderella, out March 13 from director Kenneth Branagh. The English stage actress (her father is late actor James Thomson) also will be seen in Screen Gems' Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Bradley Cooper's chef movie and BBC's War and Peace miniseries, which she's shooting in Russia.

Fairfax Media’s business magazine Brw today launched a major redesign of its print edition and website, along with a new iPad app.
The move is the first major project led by new publisher Amanda Gome and editor James Thomson.
Gome joined the Financial Review Group in October after previously being CEO of Crikey publisher Private Media, while Thomson joined from the same company late last year where he was editor of SmartCompany.
Gome and Thomson joined Mumbrella editor Tim Burrowes in a live Google Hangout to discuss the launch. View the replay here:
Brw – originally Business Review Weekly – launched in 1981.
In today’s launch announcement Gome said, “Brw has a strong heritage as the magazine for people at, and on the way to, the top of the business world. But the way they want to read Brw has changed, so it’s time that we changed.”

Gome was ousted as CEO of Private Media, which publishes titles including SmartCompany and Crikey, in September. She was quickly hired as publisher inside Fairfax Media’s Financial Review Group.
Thomson is one of the first major hirings since Gome came on board. He will take the reins from Brw editor Kate Mills, who will stay with the company in a yet-to-be-announced role.

David Cameron was left stumped by basic questions about British history and culture during his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Cameron became the first serving British prime minister to appear on the late night CBS talkshow on Wednesday (September 26), and was played in with a rendition of 'Rule Britannia' from Letterman's house band. However, he incorrectly attributed the musical arrangement of James Thomson's poem to Edward Elgar, when it was in fact set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740. "You have found me out. That's bad, I've ended my career on your show tonight," Cameron joked when told the correct answer. Letterman also asked him questions about the document known as Magna Carta, which Cameron correctly said was signed in 1215 at Runnymede. Describing the document as the country's first declaration (more)...

In the geological record, the further down we dig, the further we go into the past, which means that deposits are continually being laid down on the planet's surface (presumably a combination of volcanic material and cosmic debris). Is the Earth getting bigger?
The Earth is not getting bigger. Deposition (of sediments, mostly marine) and weathering (erosion) are in approximate equilibrium. Most weathering occurs on land while most deposition occurs in the seas, resulting in a net accumulation of marine sediment. However, some sediments are subducted beneath continental crust at the edges of some oceans and recycled back into igneous rocks spewed from volcanoes. Also, both oceanic and terrestrial crust go through cycles of up– and down–thrust, periodically rising above and below sea level. The bed of today's North Sea is flooded continental crust,...

New galleries, acclaimed restaurants and hotels, and now even a Hollywood film premiere add to the Scottish capital's allure
Europe's new capital of cool – in pictures
In the light, spacious rooms of a former orphanage near Edinburgh city centre, the works of a painter once ignored by the art world have come home.
The enormous popularity of the first dedicated exhibition since 1942 to Scottish colourist Fcb Cadell is a sign of a revitalised interest in the son of a city that is enjoying its own renaissance.
Heavily reliant on banking and public sector jobs, Edinburgh had seemed badly placed to withstand the recession, but while the economy teeters, the city is busily securing its place as Europe's capital of culture and is increasingly a magnet for tourists. Last week it was announced that the much-hyped new film from Disney-Pixar will have its European premiere at the usually lacklustre Edinburgh film festival.
