Ahead of the full programme launch for the 30th Leeds International Film Festival, we're very excited to make some further special preview announcements after last week's reveal of Jim Jarmusch's Paterson as our Opening Film. New announcements include: our Closing Film, Maren Ade's brilliant comedy drama Toni Erdmann, a big favourite at this year's Cannes Film Festival; the long-awaited restoration of silent film masterpiece Napoleon by Kevin Brownlow; and legendary DJ Norman Jay MBE live at Belgrave Music Hall as part of the Black Star Tour; and the line-ups for our annual horror marathons Day of the Dead at Leeds Town Hall and Night of the Dead at the Hyde Park Picture House. Tickets go on sale at 10.00am, Friday 7 October.
Toni Erdmann: LIFF Closing Film in association with the LUX Prize
At this year's Cannes Film Festival, Toni Erdmann took everyone by surprise and became the biggest buzz film for years with sold out screenings and queues around the block. It's even been included in a critics' poll of the top 100 films of the 21st Century. An extraordinary, groundbreaking comedy drama from German director Maren Ade, the story follows the ambitious young businesswoman Ines and the unpredictable relationship with her eccentric, practical joke loving father, Winfried. Saying much more would be a spoiler: it's full of surprises, very warm and touching, and frequently hilarious.
Toni Erdmann is one of three films nominated for the European Parliament's LUX Prize which casts an annual spotlight on films that go to the heart of public debate in Europe. The other two nominated films are Leyla Bouzid's As I Open My Eyes from Tunisia, also presented at LIFF30, and Claude Barras's family animation My Life as I Courgette from Switzerland. For more information about the LUX Prize go to: luxprize.eu.

In the culmination of an unprecedented 50 year restoration project led by filmmaker and historian Kevin Brownlow, the British Film Institute are re-releasing one of the undisputed masterpieces of cinema history, Abel Gance's Napoleon. We are proud to be able to host a screening in the suitably grand surroundings of Leeds Town Hall with full 7.1 Dolby surround sound for the brand new recorded soundtrack by Carl Davis. A true epic in scale, the film runs for five and a half hours and screens with three intervals, surely an unforgettable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Or so they'll have you believe.
But you know as well as I know that sharing is NOT always caring. In fact, sometimes sharing is the $10 hooker who slips you a rufie and then steals your liver.--> You wake up in a tub full of ice with stiches made of fishing line and a post-it note directing you to call 911. & worst of all, you will never get your $10 back.
What am I saying?
I'm not really sure.
The bottom line is, sharing is sometimes crap.
But I won't go into another analogy.
Instead, I'd like to give you this list of situations where sharing CLEARLY sucks, so that you can avoid them. I'd like to think of this as a gift--the gift of knowledge. Reader, I am sharing my valuable wisdom with you today. Do you know why?
Because it's my 50th blog post. Rejoice!
For those of you who've been here from the beginning and those just starting to read me, I'd like to say this:
Sharing public bathrooms with your best friend when you're drunk is ALWAYS fun...
unless one of you has to poop. Then it's weird.
Anyway, the next time you're in one of the following situations, I hope you benefit from my words.
Sharing sucks when you're sharing:
A.) The place where you live. Living with another person is a wild-card. One time, one of my sorority sisters was living with me for the summer and I came home from class to find her naked in my study on the computer. I didn't know how to react so I just didn't. I've only had a couple of roommates in the past and one live in boyfriend. But it's safe to say I will avoid cohabitating until I'm married; even after then, if possible. I'd be the most content if I could live in my family's basement with my husband and kids on the upper level. Kid's visitation rights to my she-bat cave will be strictly limited and my husband will be on a sleep-over only basis. I hate living with other people. [Note: my brother & I's living situation is going really well, though. I'm surprised at how much I don't dislike living with him.]
1.Bathrooms: People do the weirdest things in their bathrooms because they're alone. Masterbating, for example; most guys do it in the shower or in front of their computer. Girls tend to leave makeup all over the counter tops or girl stuff in the trash can--sometimes for too long. My oldest brother's kids do this weird thing where they put their dirty toilet paper in the trash instead of flushing it--creeps me the fuck out. & then there's the inexplicable; every bathroom sink Mr. Flintstone has ever had since we've been together gets coated in a thick layer of gunk that causes it to drain slowly. I'm pretty sure the gunk's main components are hair gel, tooth paste & spit, & dog hair.
2. Bedrooms: Your bedroom is your sanctuary. In my case, usually a dirty one. Not exactly on purpose but I have a terrible way of leaving books lying all over the floor and Shakespeare has a bad habit of dragging my dirty draws out of the laundry hamper and chewing on them in the middle of my room. Things can get awkward when company is over. The weirdest part of sharing a bedroom is having to share your bed.
2i. Beds: Sharing a bed is weird. Even if you like the person. My first serious boyfriend, who I lived with, used to sweat profusely in his sleep and pull the sheets off the mattress. It was weird and I had to buy new pillows because he left sweat stains in my old ones. Some people fart in their sleep <--me. But also, sharing the bed = less room for you. When I stay over at Mr. Flintstone's we somehow manage to squeeze me, him, his dog, and my dog onto one twin size bed. I'm not going to lie, his dog, Jazzy, usually punks me out of my spot and I wake up breathing into the wall, having balanced myself on the last two inches of the bed and the nook between the mattress and the wall all night. Do I love sleeping beside him? YES. Do I also love having room to stretch my arms/escape if need be? Also Yes.
3. Kitchens: People also do weird things in their kitchens. I had one roommate who would rearrange all my dishes and spices while I was in class. She also used my decorative oven mits to clean out my microwave. Why I have decorative oven mits is besides the point. I also had one roommate who made tacos for her man and stored the unused meat (still in the skillet) in the oven. I assume her plan was to put it away later but later only came 3 weeks later when we couldn't figure out why my house smelled like moldy enchuritos. We found the skillet still in the oven, but where the ground beef used to be was now replaced by grey meat jello.
4. Bills: see letter D, Expenses.
B.) Desserts or Appetizers: You know how sometimes the waitress asks you if you want an appetizer/dessert and you don't want to seem like a fat ass so you look to the person next to you and say, "Wanna share?" but what you're really saying is, "Wanna watch me eat an entire brownie sundae/plate of mozzarella sticks and take part of the responsibility so I can avoid judgment?" & then the appetizer/dessert comes and you do share and you feel glad you shared but then it comes down to the critical point: the last bite.
I'd like to call this awkward encounter the last bite dance, since you & the person you're sharing with are both dancing around the fact that each of you wants that last bite for yourself but doesn't want to be impolite. The following dialogue usually ensues:
You: Go ahead, eat it. I saved it for you.
Them: No, I already ate my half. You eat it.
You: But I'm already full so if you don't eat it, it's just going to get thrown away. Go for it.
Them: I know you want it, just take it.
You: I really don't.
But you do. You want it so bad you almost resent them. Sometimes, you luck out & the other person doesn't really want the last bite; then EVERYBODY wins. For example, my new friend Keith and I were having lunch in the school cafeteria. Keith got barbecue and cherry cobbler. I got pasta. When we were about to leave, I noticed Keith had not eaten his cobbler & didn't plan to. Score for me: I made a new friend and got cherry cobbler fo' FREE! It was a good day.
Mr. Flintstone & I's thing is baking cookies: the pillsbury ones that are already separated out into little squares & all you have to do is put them on a pan and bake them. --> I know he cares because he always leaves me the last cookie. :)
C.) Party nights: It sucks when you want your friend to come out with you but they are totally broke. Going out & covering just your expenses can be pretty pricey but then it's magnified when your friend is tagging along & everything you buy for yourself, you also have to buy for them. Then you have less of a good time because everytime you pull out money to pay cover or head to the bar for a shot, you have to mentally calculate how much is in your wallet and subtract whatever you were planning to spend and then multiply by two. This situation can cause resentment in even the sweetest of temperaments, but I was always especially aggravated by the math involved: I was a creative writing major, dammit. First you're pissing away all my funds & then I have to do math? You pretty much just inadvertantly screwed up my night.
D.) Expenses: Bills, Gas money, Etc. In Hamlet, Shakespeare wrote something to the affect of, "Never a lender nor a borrower be." You know why? Because money tears people apart. I've never really had anyone owe me money, but with respect to gas, I can pretty much say never give anyone a ride if you're depending on them to reimburse you. People forget about gas expenses like it's nothing; even if they told you they'd help you out on the gas. Only give rides to people you love (that's what she said) & you won't mind the gas thing.
E.) Clothes, Personal Items: Never loan out anything you're really attached to. I once loaned a cocktail dress to a really, really good friend several years ago & still haven't gotten it back. Someone out there still has my white go-go boots that I lent them one Halloween. I can't even count all the dishes and cookware of mine that are out there floating around. & the thing is, the borrower usually has the BEST intentions of returning your stuff but it's inconvenient for them to bring it back and you don't want to make a big deal about it and come off as up-tight so you just hang out & voila; your shit has just been adversly possessed. (Yeah, that was a legal term from property class--be impressed).
F.) Jail. I can speak about this one first hand. Trust me, you don't want to share stuff in jail-->because you never know. On the other hand, sharing in jail is a surefire way not to get beat down.
For example:
- always get lunch, even if you're not hungry. Your cellmates might want to hoard your uneaten bread to make a sandwich later.
- When you post bail, always leave behind your toilet paper for someone in need.
- The rubber from your shoes; you can share this with your cell mates when they want to do their eyebrows, clean under their nails or if they need to stick something under the table to make it stop wobbling.
- Toothpaste: can be used like glue to hang things on the wall. Also good for brushing teeth; also leave this behind when you post bail.
- Things you should NOT share: your tooth brush, soap, wash clothe, cup, bedding, undergarments,or hair brush.

(This week's column is the third in a series about my July 17-August 2 trip to Africa as a member of a mission team from Nashville's First Presbyterian Church.)
(This week�s column is the third in a series about my July 17-August 2 trip to Africa as a member of a mission team from Nashville�s First Presbyterian Church.)
Our accommodations in Kigali, Rwanda�s capitol, though basic by U.S. standards, were comfortable enough, and included mosquito netting around the beds. In the dining hall, they served wonderful African-grown coffee brewed strong enough to jar us out of travel lethargy.
Except for regional vegetation, Kigali looks like a typical, though very clean, big city with numerous skyscrapers and many more under construction. During our time there, in addition to working on a church building in progress, we visited several mission partners of First Presbyterian, Nashville. Our Rwandan host church�s Pastor Julius of Kanombe Parish was our guide.
First among these places was International Justice Mission. We arrived at IJM in time to participate in their daily devotional. After telling us �We practice law and grace,� field office director Lane Mears introduced his staff of lawyers, social workers, and interns.
The emphasis of IJM�s Kigali office is on helping sexually assaulted children. They currently have 55 cases, though a normal caseload is 35 to 40. We heard of one typical case, a 14-year-old girl who had been locked up and sexually abused for 2� years.
IJM encourages church education/mobilization and trains local church leaders, including youth and women. �Churches have a role to play,� social worker Chantelle said. �It�s God-sized work. People praying and giving is as necessary as being on the front lines.�
At some churches, every three months, everything on one Sunday �� songs, readings, sermon, etc. �� is about justice. At Pastor Julius� church, they have nine lessons that discuss what God says about justice.
�At first, it was very hard,� Chantelle said. �But churches have started to like this. It�s about justice from God, not government.�
�Justice is the walk of Christians,� another IJM worker added.
One of our mission team members spoke up. �The word �justice� can be a red flag,� he said. �It�s used by radical groups, governments, and even Christians to promote an ideology. How do you define it?�
IJM�s definition of justice was: the right exercise of power. �We try to level the playing field between powerful abusers and victims,� said Lane, �and get the victim to a place beyond trauma.�
Also necessary to achieve IJM�s goals is their law enforcement liaison team, which trains police, prosecutors, and judges. The result, we were told, is �Like a rock in water when the ripples spread.�
Four overreaching goals of IJM are:
1. Victim relief (removed from situation)
2. Victim after-case
3. Perpetrator accountability (laws enforced with grace, not vindictive)
4. Ultimate transformation (learn where system breakdown is, so work to fix it)
Toward this end, a client care team devises a treatment plan for each victim. Lane suggested that to learn more, we read Terrify No More by IJM founder Gary Haugen.
Whether or not he read the book, at least one lawyer at Nashville�s First Presbyterian has found IJM to be worth his volunteer time.
After the devotional and discussion, �tea time� provided an opportunity to chat one-on-one with IJM staff members. A friend and I visited with Charlotte. Her schedule is: Arrive by bus at work early and study till time to clock in; work all day; study and/or attend classes till late night.
�The thing young adults here want to do is go to Europe and make money,� Charlotte said. �I did that. But I soon realized that the country where I was working had already arrived at what it wanted to be.
�I am 30 and my family thinks I should marry,� she said. �But I am happy with what I�m doing, and glad to be back in this country. I prefer being somewhere that is working toward a goal, not somewhere that�s already arrived.�
Another stop in Kigali was a school for homeless boys ages 8ish to about 18 �� old enough to take care of basic needs. �They don�t live here,� our host told us. �But we gather them up or they come here every day to learn and have a meal and recreation.�
While we were there, our teen boys and theirs had a ferocious outdoors game of full-court basketball. Meanwhile, a 16-year-old who spoke very good English struck up a conversation with me as we tossed a basketball back and forth. He will test in September, and possibly get a scholarship if the results are good enough.
We also visited an establishment that teaches displaced/abused women sewing skills. There, our purchases of their irresistible products eventually tested our already bulging luggage to the max.
Next week, this series on Africa will conclude by visiting churches and people in both Rwanda and Kenya. And, of course, by going on safari.

Find information about Northern Michigan University basketball division, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are more interested in players who already know about their team and college, so do your research before visiting a college campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Northern Michigan University Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northern Michigan University.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. University of Minnesota basketball division may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Northern Michigan University basketball division, you may think about Kankakee Community College course load for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

In the time that I've been into and wearing Lolita fashion I was extremely lucky to not have anything majorly unpleasant happen to me. This doesn't mean that Lolita fashion doesn't come with its fair share of difficulties and here are some of the biggest ones that I've been working through so far. These aren't things that can simply be wholly overcome and I doubt that this is everything that I'll face. I had been thinking about writing up a blog post on similar lines, but my ideas haven't quite clarified yet, so this is perfect timing. It is going to be a serious post and it will discuss topics that some may even find triggering, so if you find topics such as body image or comparing yourself to others triggering, I suggest you give this one a miss.

Wishlist Dress Unboxing: Sweet Cream House
You know that dress that you've seen so many times that you actually started to really want it? This is it for me. But I wasn't willing to go over my budget for it, believing that patience will pay off. And guess what, it has. Very quickly, since this is on of those that everyone has seen by now, either in person or on another YouTube unboxing video - here's what mine is like.

Dream Masquerade Carnival - Haul
We all know that you don't just go to an event and leave empty handed. For one, you usually get a tote bag full of freebies with some tickets. And for the other - how can you resist all these goodies at no extra shipping cost or customs fee? I'll be honest, I wish I had bought more, but that's how the cookie crumbled.

Dream Masquerade Carnival - Day 2
The long Saturday of DMC has passed, as much sleep as was possible to get in a hot and noisy room was had and then preparation for the Sunday DMC tea party began. This is usually your chill day, the time to socialise, take an absurd amount of photos, stuff your face with gorgeous food and tea, catch the special guests in a more relaxed manner and just generally have a good time without having to commit to an awful amount of walking. This will be another long and picture heavy post, so another cuppa is highly recommended, especially if you're reading the two posts back to back (are you sure that your last cuppa hasn't gone cold?).

Dream Masquerade Carnival - Day 1
So, Dream Masquerade Carnival happened – which I'm sure you're already aware of if you're on Instagram or in the Closet of Frills group on Facebook. This was my second large Lolita event, as well as second and also last Tea Party Club event, as at the tea party they announced that there would be no more, so I can't exactly say that I'm highly experienced, but expect some comparisons to last year's Wicked and Whimsy. Also, prepare yourself as this will be a lengthy and picture heavy-ish post – maybe make yourself a cuppa to go with it!
Before you start reading, let me say this: after the initial emotions after the announcement of it being the last TPC event have cooled down, I thought a lot about it from various points of view. I read many Facebook statuses from people involved in organising the event (and involved with TPC across the years), as well as 'just' attendees. What you will read below is my honest opinion, but since there won't be another TPC anniversary event, any concrit is aimed at people organising other Lolita events or thinking about them. These are also my own opinions and experiences and do not reflect those of anyone else.

MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered President Aquino to answer a petition questioning the legality of his Executive Order 7 filed by a lawyer of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) in Butuan City last month.
The Court gave the Palace 10 days to comment on the petition of Jelbert Galicto seeking to declare as unconstitutional EO 7 that suspended the bonuses and other benefits of officials of government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and government
financial institutions (GFIs).
The Court issued the order signed by Clerk of Court Enriqueta Vidal after finding Galicto's petition "sufficient in form and substance."
"Considering the allegations contained, the issues raised and the arguments adduced in the petition, the Court finds it necessary and proper to require the respondents to comment on the petition within 10 days from notice hereof," the Court said.
Apart from the President, also named respondents in the complaint are Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad.
Petitioner had asked the Court to nullify EO 7 because the President supposedly went beyond his powers to order a moratorium of perks of GOCCs and GFIs whose executives and regular employees are exempted from the Salary Standardization Law.
He claimed that the issuance of EO 7 infringed on the legislative powers of Congress since the presidential directive "is by substance a law."
It was the fourth EO of President Aquino that has been questioned before the Court. The first three were: EO 1, which created the Truth Commission, EO 2 that revoked the midnight appointments of the previous administration, and EO 3 which invalidated the grant of career executive service officer (CESO) rank to lawyers in the executive branch.
This latest petition, however, is the first to include the name of Mr. Aquino in the list of respondents.
The President earlier expressed optimism the Court would uphold the constitutionality of EO 7.
He said he merely reinforced a directive from the previous government limiting the compensation scheme for GOCC and GFI executives to prevent the unnecessary spending of public resources.

Meet rep Carl Petch page 3
The magazine of the Fire Brigades Union Black and Ethnic Minority Members  > www.fbu.org.uk
Summer 2012
She did overcome Doreen Lawrence's long fight for justice Page 6
Foreword We face a continuing struggle The year began with very little of the optimism normally associated with a 'new' year. The reality is that we face a continuing struggle to maintain our current standards of living in the face of government attacks on the public sector. Our service has seen cuts like never before, with no pay rise on the horizon and an increase in our hard-earned pension contributions for the next three years. Making internal savings has resulted in us being unable to produce a hard copy of this edition, but we decided that it was important to keep our members updated, particularly after the cancellation of the B&EMM school in 2011. School With the B&EMM school high on our agenda, the FBU had decided that all sectional schools will be held at the front end of the year. Although the committee felt strongly that the school being held in October was appropriate during Black History Month, it was agreed that holding a school earlier in the year would also have its advantages and that with sufficient planning, it would be possible to then hold an FBU event in October to celebrate Black History Month. Subsequently, we were unable to secure an earlier date so our B&EMM school will revert to its usual weekend – 12-14 October 2012. Information 2 Advisor Summer 2012
and process for the 2012 school will be issued as soon as possible. Equality agenda The last two years have seen the government's downgrading of the equality agenda and although the brigades have been trusted to monitor their own equality and diversity policies, there has been a noticeable downturn in equality departments throughout the fire service. Your national committee is committed to reiterating the importance of the equality agenda and the impact that changes to policy will have on our workplace and communities. It is not just the fire service that has been affected. All public sector organisations have been changed by this downgrading and the fight is on to get this government to recognise the negative impact this has on making the fire service fully representative of all our communities. Pensions The first phase of the pensions campaign has been concluded. The evidence provided by the FBU has been considered and we have managed to negotiate
a reduction in the first year contributions increase and two reviews on the issues of pensions opt-out and retirement age. Our negotiators felt it was the best that could be achieved at this time and the executive council decided on that basis while we will not be having a ballot for industrial action, the campaign continues. Restructuring Despite opposition from B&EMM, the executive council have also recommended, as part of the continuing FBU re-structure, that voting rights on its committees be withdrawn from the equality sections and also that the reserved seats on the EC for B&EMM, NWC and the LGBT be removed. The FBU special conference in June will make the final decision. The B&EMM national committee hope that other structures will join us in opposing this proposal. On the move Since our last edition, we have lost regional representation in Regions 9 and 12. However we have gained regional reps in Region 5, Bros Carl Petch, Region 13,
Your national committee is committed to reiterating the importance of the equality agenda and the impact that changes to policy will have on our workplace and communities
Obi Selassie and Region 7, Rod Barrett. Welcome to the national committee, we have much to do! Our long serving Region 7 rep, Colin Jarrett, retired in February and we wish him a long and healthy retirement. We also thank him for his efforts over many years. We also saw our dearly loved official Samantha Samuels stepping down – Carole Brown has been elected in her place. Our national chair, Lud Ramsey, was honoured with the STUC equality award (see inside) – well deserved brother. Stephen Lawrence There was one piece of heartening news at the beginning of the year – the judgement that saw the murderers of Stephen Lawrence were finally nailed and jailed, 18 years after they were part of a racist gang that attacked and killed him. The other three or four members are still at large and hopefully one day we will also see them incarcerated for their crimes. See the article inside this edition. Changes in our workplaces and personal lives affect the amount of time each one of us can give in helping our members and continually representing in their best interests. Whatever decisions are taken by our employers or our union rest assured we shall continue to fight for the hard earned right to have our voices heard. Michael Nicholas Executive Council member for B&EMM
Meet a rep Carl Petch B&EMM rep region 5
Anyone who takes up a rep's position will learn so much
Carl Petch: In the words of Malcolm X: 'If you don't stand for something, then you'll fall for anything'
I have rcently been appointed as the black and ethnic minority (B&EMM) rep for region 5. I joined the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service in August 2001 aged 18 and, even at that age, I was confident/ cocky and very much into challenging everything like a bull in a china shop! Ten years later I'm still "assertive" and very much challenging everything, but I use a different approach which, I feel, has produced results. I believe that this attitude and other experiences have given me the potential to be a positive regional B&EMM rep. I have been the brigade rep for a while now. As the regional rep I have taken on additional responsibilities and activities. My primary role is to organise B&EMM activity in the region, attend regional and brigade meetings and to inform brigade B&EMM reps. I want to get a rep in each brigade in region 5. In Lancashire we have Naveed, in Cheshire we have Erdal. In Merseyside we have a possible rep and in Greater Manchester we have another member who has expressed an interest so, hopefully, in a short time we will have four out of five reps in place. If any B&EMM in Cumbria wants to discuss representing in their brigade, then contact me or a brigade official – we will be delighted to hear from you. Anyone who takes up a rep's position will learn so much and it is great to hear important information about your brigade first-hand and have the ability to pass it on to other members. I would highly recommend the position of brigade B&EMM rep. In the words of Malcolm X: "If you don't stand for something, then you'll fall for anything."

Summer 2012
TUC equality motion This year's TUC black workers conference took place in London in April with 220 delegates from 29 unions. The FBU sent four delegates and an observer. The FBU's motion was on the scrapping of central auditing of equality in the fire and rescue service. This has seriously put at risk all the improvements made on equality and diversity in recent years. Delegates were also informed of the proposal going to FBU's annual conference to remove equality structures, voting rights and reserved seats. The FBU's emergency motion on forced evictions of refused refugees in Glasgow was strongly supported by a Scottish UNITE delegate. The result of the race committee elections saw Michael Nicholas re-elected to the committee with the second-highest vote. The conference voted
FBU delegates (l to r) Mark Brown (R4) Michael Nicholas (EC member), Garrett Brooks (R10) and Carl Petch (R5) that motion 9, on Stephen Lawrence's legacy, should go to congress in September. The conference was chaired by Unison lay official Eleanor Smith who highlighted black activists' role in defending black communities in the light of the governments' public service cuts. TUC general secretary Brendan Barber spoke about the Stephen Lawrence case and of his admiration for the Lawrence family. He paid tribute to their campaign for justice and launched a new TUC campaign in honour of their struggle – Stephen
Lawrence 18:18. Stephen's mother Doreen Lawrence spoke to the conference about the work of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and of her continuing struggle for an inquiry into the allegedly corrupt police investigations. She encouraged delegates to discuss the work of the trust in our communities and to support it financially as it relies entirely on public funding. Labour shadow cabinet minister and Brixton MP Chuka Umunna addressed the conference, as did Lee Jasper from the Black Activists Rising Against Cuts campaign.
Single Scottish service – a suitable case for equality? Sami Chaudhry Dumfries & Galloway brigade chair While colleagues south of the border are battling against mergers and amalgamations, north of the border we are contemplating the prospect of a single fire service It has been talked about in all my 16 years' service, but with the decreasing financial settlement to the Scottish government from Westminster it has
become a necessity and inevitable. What does this mean for B&EMM and the other equalities sections in Scotland? The Scottish government has retained many of the standards that the Westminster government has binned recently. The way we do business is quite different, but that does not mean that everything will be hunky dory. Maintaining and
4 Advisor Summer 2012
improving our standing in the fire service will always be a struggle, as we will always be the minority. I believe what will be different is where there was good practice in one brigade it will be spread across the whole country and where a brigade was failing resources and experience will be used to bring it up. Lift as we climb. Perhaps the biggest reason for optimism is that work on development of the new
service is significantly influenced by the FBU. Regional, brigade and sectional reps are directly engaged in workstreams that will determine the size, shape, and principles of the service. We are optimistic that a service that practices respect and dignity for all will be a just reward for all our efforts and representation and encourage all communities in Scotland to see the service as a viable and rewarding career.
Lud wins top award FBU equality rep Lud Ramsay, a fire and education officer for Lothian and Borders FRS, has won the Scottish TUC One Workplace Equality Award for making an exceptional impact in challenging racism and promoting equality. He joined Hampshire FRS in 1988 as its first black and ethnic minority firefighter. He led on a successful campaign against BNP membership in the fire and rescue service and developed good-practice measures to attract more under-represented groups to join the service. He was invited to join Lothian and Borders in 2008 to address the lack of BME people in Scotland's fire service and developed a recruitment outreach volunteer team. This involved open days, community events and other methods to help fire and rescue service recruitment become more transparent. Lud has highlighted a number of issues in Scotland that need to be addressed in relation to BME members. His work has resulted in Lothian and Borders FRS having the highest figures for BMEs in their fire service and has encouraged all fire and rescue services across Scotland to take equality issues more seriously.
Mark Brown, Yorkshire and Humberside region B&EMM rep, reports on an eye-opening fundraiser for earthquake victims
'Overwhelming evidence' points to UN peacekeepers as the source of cholera in Haiti camps (bottom).
Where did Haiti charity money go? The FBU was a joint sponsor of a solidarity event for Haiti at TUC Congress House in London in January this year that commemorated the second anniversary of the disastrous earthquake that hit the country in January 2010. The event began with factual information about what the population of the poorest country in the western hemisphere has been going through. A short film – "Where Did the Money Go?" – showed how the money that has been donated to many charities has done little to help the poverty stricken population. Concerns have been raised about charities' expenses and how charity workers behave in the country, living in luxury hotels while the people they are there to help are across the street in tents struggling to survive. The film was very informative. Later we took part in a discussion with Mario
Joseph, a civil rights lawyer from Haiti. Mr Joseph has worked on behalf of the Haitian poor for many years and informed us how the UN peacekeeping forces from Nepal introduced cholera into Haiti. He has been gathering evidence with a view to taking legal action against the UN.
He claims that the cholera that UN peacekeepers introduced to Haiti in October 2010 has led to Haitians' rights to health and life being violated with over 26,000 sick and 200 dead in just one month and over 7,000 dead and 500,000 sickened since the epidemic started. The UN declines to provide the medical treatment and clean water necessary to control the epidemic and refuses to allow the victims their day in court. A UN report confirmed that "overwhelming evidence" points to peacekeepers of the UN Stabilization Mission to
Haiti (MINUSTAH) as the source of the cholera. The report cites the mission's failure to test peacekeepers deployed from cholera epidemic zones abroad and waste disposal practices that allowed raw sewage to flow into Haiti's largest river system. The UN refuses to accept responsibility for the epidemic, claiming that other factors, including Haiti's poor water and healthcare systems were responsible. But those factors were well known at the time the UN made the decisions about testing troops deployed from cholera zones and maintaining its waste disposal system and were a basis for the UN exercising greater care, not an excuse for negligence. We then saw a documentary – "Baseball In A Time Of Cholera" – about a young boy's life and how cholera has affected him and his family. The second part of the event was a concert of world music. We heard Eri Okan, a
Brazilian group playing lively carnival music. Alexander D Great and Debra Romain are a calypso duo – Debra plays the steel pan and Alexander the guitar. Carmen Rodney sang gospel acapella and we then had another short address from Mario Joseph, who also requested two minutes silence to commemorate the time the earthquake struck Haiti.
After that we heard from Akala, Ashebar and the African Revolution, an African drum-based group that got the crowd going with some upbeat, lively music. We finished with Zena the soul singer and David the human beatbox. Overall the event was well attended and I hope the fundraising was positive. The information presented certainly raised my awareness of the situation in Haiti since the disaster. ■■To show your support got to www.haitijustice.org and sign the petition. Summer 2012 Advisor 5
It is to be hoped that the 3 January 2012 will be noted as the date when a black family finally saw light within the sometimes murky depths of the British criminal justice system. It was, though, a "strange kind of justice". The date saw a guilty verdict and subsequent life imprisonment of two of the perpetrators of the savage assault that led to the death of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence.
Let us be reminded that, in 1993, Stephen Lawrence was a bright young black man with aspirations of becoming an architect before he was murdered by that racist gang in Eltham, London. His parents, Doreen and Neville, and other family members, have suffered severe collateral damage that sadly culminated in the break-up of his parent's marriage. The Lawrences have fought, and continue to fight, an 18-year battle in their journey to attain justice for Stephen. While the 3 January verdict was their first positive outcome, thanks to new legislation and forensic science, it has still come eighteen years too late. And let us not forget that at least three other murderous thugs are still free. Let us not ever underestimate the role of the Metropolitan Police service in the debacle that has occurred since that fateful night in 1993. Allegations of collusion with known criminals, corruption, racism and incompetence led to the ground-breaking Macpherson inquiry that confirmed what many in our black communities had been 6 Advisor Summer 2012
Michael Nicholas, FBU executive council member for black and ethnic minority members, explains the long fight for justice for Stephen Lawrence saying for decades: that our police service discriminates on the grounds of race and that black and ethnic minority people received a poorer service from the police than their white neighbours.
Rest assured that there would have been no inquiry without the tenacity of the campaign from the Lawrences and their associates. Principal police officers and politicians opposed such an inquiry for years until there was a change of government and political emphasis. The Macpherson report and recommendations led to the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000 which forced all public services to provide a fairer service to all in our communities. Trade unions also played their part, and rightly so, as the biggest representatives of black workers in our communities. The TUC established the Stephen Lawrence Task Force with the objective of eliminating institutional racism in the workplace (still a work in progress). The fire service launched a thematic review that also found practices in the fire service suffering from the same institutional malaise. The reality of campaigning is that we have to fight for every change that is necessary within the criminal justice system. It is a sad fact that the Lawrence family and so many others – people campaigning against deaths in custody, for instance – have to dedicate whole lives, or the best part of them, to seeking justice over the loss of
loved ones. The racist discrimination that, according to Liberal Democrat London mayoral candidate and former principle MPS officer Brian Paddick, is "endemic" in the Metropolitan Police is still a factor in many other public institutions – so that fight continues. Doreen Lawrence spoke at this year's TUC Black Workers conference in April. What she
said was heartbreaking and yet heart-warming too. We can only commend Doreen, Neville, Lawrence family members and associates for their strength, fortitude and determination in ensuring that Stephen's short life and horrific death had a lasting impact on British society. The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was set up in Stephen's memory so that
At the 2012 TUC Black Workers Conference (l-r): Wilf Sullivan (TUC Race Equality Officer), Doreen Lawrence, Micky Nicholas and Gloria Mills (TUC General Council member, Chair of TUC Race Relations Committee and former TUC President)
young people from deprived backgrounds can receive bursaries to pursue careers in architecture. See the website address on the right for how you can donate to help the Trust's good work to continue.
The struggle for all of us who believe in justice and equality continues and we need to
ensure that we all play a part in supporting and assisting those who fight against the greatest odds to achieve that objective. Doreen continues to demand answers of the Metropolitan Police over its flawed investigations and allegations of corruption – a campaign we need to support. Doreen and Neville Lawrence you are an inspiration and we salute you. We shall overcome.

Bucks County Technical School class size

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Bucks County Technical School class size, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Bucks County Technical School college degree information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Bucks County Technical School.
If you have a particular school in mind that is clearly your first choice, then early decision might work well for you. Please note that if you are accepted under early decision, you are making a commitment to attend that school, unless its financial aid package is inadequate. Usually, you can apply to only one school under the early decision program. If you're not accepted, you still have the option to apply to other schools later, during the regular application period.
Early action is similar to early decision, except that you aren't required to attend a school that accepts you. Some schools allow you to apply for early action while interested in other colleges, but some don't, so you need to request information from each school. Keep in mind that there is less incentive for an early action college to accept you because you aren't committing to attend the school. Beyond degree requirements such as Bucks County Technical School class registration, you may consider College of St Scholastica undergraduate courses online for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Changing the PHP for my comments
Good evening, all!
I'm a newbie to PHP and am having difficulties with making changes to the comments form. (I'm using the 'bricks' theme, if it makes a difference.)
My problem: People making comments have to enter name, email, url and comment. I'd like to remove the 'URL' entry and change it to 'city'.
Can anyone explain to me 'HOW' to go about doing that without causing 'fatal errors' all over my comments page?
Any help and input would be IMMENSELY appreciated!
Also… this is a project for my employer, and we're hoping to get it launched within in two days. I realize folks here stay pretty darn busy, and I may not get this answered by then, but if it's possible, I'd be forever grateful. :o)

No one likes it when they click on a link to another web page and it fails to work
Don't let bad links affect the SEO on your website. We can run a Free Report to find them...
We'll run some checks on your website's links to ensure they're not harming the SEO. Just enter a few details:
Use a simple broken link checking tool to ensure your website's links are all working
There is nothing more frustrating then being directected to some content on a webpage link, only to find the link does not work. There can be a number of reasons for this from the destination page having being deleted, to an error within the link.
Easy to fix once you know about it
It's a common problem that is easy to fix once you know about it. The problem is you often only find out when someone kindly lets you know the link is not working, which more than likely means many more people have been frustrated with it before you knew.
So it is worth spending a little time going through your website checking the links and fixing any broken ones. You can do this manually by clicking in each link, but this is could be somewhat time consuming, especially if your website has a lot of pages.
A broken link checking tool can speed things up no end
Not surprisingly search engines take a dim view of broken links as well. From their point of view, if you've got broken links, and you're not fixing them, it seems to show you're not that bothered about your visitor experience, and this could affect your rankings.
So it makes sense to check all the links, both internal and external, are working on every page of your site. Unfortunately this can take time and for this reason it is something website owners seldom bother with.
One way to speed the job up no end is to use a link checker tool. There are quite a number of these around and one I've found recently is called BrokenLinkCheck.com. All you need to do is visit their Broken Link Check page, enter your website address and press 'Find broken links'.
What does the broken links report mean and what do you need to do with the links?

Federal investigators say inspectors have found subsurface cracks in three more Southwest Airlines planes.
Similar cracks are suspected of triggering a fuselage rupture that forced a Boeing 737-300 to make an emergency landing in Yuma, Ariz. The 15-year-old jet in the Arizona incident had about 39,000 takeoff and landing cycles.
The airline had said earlier Sunday that it found such cracks in two of their planes. A National Transportation Safety Board member says a third plane was discovered to have the cracks as well.
Board member Robert Sumwalt says Boeing is developing a "service bulletin" strongly suggesting immediate checks on all similar models with comparable flight time and age.
The cracks found in the three planes developed in two lines of riveted joints that run the length of the aircraft.
Thousands of women calling for the ouster of Yemen's longtime ruler were attacked on Sunday by police with sticks and rocks, setting off a furious battle with male protesters that left several people hurt, activists said.
The women were marching down a main street in the southern town of Taiz shouting "peaceful! peaceful!" when they were attacked, activist Ghazi al-Samei said.
Three young men suffered serious gunshot wounds when police opened fire, said a protester.
Army tanks and armored cars stopped other demonstrators from entering Taiz, the site of some of the largest and angriest protests against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's rule.
Protesters have been camping out in main squares throughout Yemen for weeks, demanding Saleh immediately leave power after 30 years.
An ailing giant turtle considered sacred by many Vietnamese was captured in a lake in central Hanoi on Sunday by rescuers who hope to give it medical attention.
Thousands of onlookers cheered as the mammoth creature was pulled in after escaping capture last month.
It took 50 workers two hours to net the turtle.
The reptile is estimated to weigh 440 pounds and is one of the world's most endangered freshwater turtles.
Scientists say it is at least 80 years old, but many Vietnamese believe, as legend has it, that it is the same mythical creature said to have helped Vietnamese King Le Loi fend off the Chinese nearly six centuries ago.
A 3-year-old boy died Saturday after falling out of a roller coaster at a suburban Chicago amusement park, police said.
The boy was sitting near the front of the Python Pit roller coaster at the Go Bananas amusement park when he got underneath the ride's safety bar, Norridge Police Chief James Jobe said. He suffered head injuries in what Jobe described as "a tragic accident."
The boy was on the ride with his twin brother when he fell out of the coaster while it was moving, Jobe said. The Cook County medical examiner's office said the boy died at the park. Police said a state inspector was at the scene.
