As a concept, the 'balance of competence' between the European Union (EU) and EU Member States doesn't sound very exciting. But in fact, it's vital, cutting to the heart of why EU over-reach has such dire implications for citizens' ability to choose their own healthcare.
First, some definitions. The UK government is performing a review of the 'balance of competences' between the EU and UK. 'Competence' in this context is, "Everything deriving from EU law that affects what happens in the UK...all the areas where the [EU] Treaties give the EU competence to act". The review is split into several areas, and we submitted comments to the consultation on health-related competence – comments that apply to all EU citizens, not just those in the UK.
We pointed out the failure of over-arching EU health strategies, such as the EU Strategy on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity-related Health Issues, which "Has failed to deliver any benefit to the UK, or any other EU Member State, in terms of reducing the incidence of overweight and obesity". This particular strategy, despite its obvious failure, is funded by EU Member States to the tune of many millions of Euros. Now that the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation (NHCR; No. 1924/2006) is kicking in, it's even harder for EU citizens to make informed choices about which foods to eat to avoid getting fat – or for any other health benefits.
Another aspect of EU competence is the Novel Foods Regulation (No. 258/1997), which is causing problems because of, "The very broad definition of a novel food, [under which] the regulation can easily be applied to altered or improved manufacturing processes. Accordingly, Member States are increasingly regarding food supplements that are based on concentrated forms of botanical ingredients as unauthorised novel foods".
Crucially, the EU has a narrow definition of 'healthcare' that basically equates to mainstream Western medicine. Our consultation response argued that, "In the case of the very significant numbers of EU citizens that choose to utilise complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches, there are great differences in accessibility to citizens in different EU member states...It is of paramount importance that there is a level playing field when considering access to CAM therapies, especially given their important role in disease prevention".
Our comments proposed that EU competence in the health arena is overwhelmingly stacked in favour of big business: "We are aware of no evidence that EU policies have led to significant reductions in chronic disease incidence, exposure to environmental chemicals or unsafe 'natural remedies'. Additionally, EU policies are orientated to increase exposure of EU citizens to genetically modified (GM) foods and food ingredients, along with harmful low-frequency radiation from wireless technologies, despite increasing evidence of health and environmental risks [http://www.anh-europe.org/news/new-2012-update-to-leading-report-on-electromagnetic-radiation] from these sources."
And what's the result of all this from the perspective of your average EU citizen with an interest in natural healthcare? "Almost all the challenges faced by consumers requiring natural whole, unprocessed foods, effective food supplements or products associated with traditional systems of medicine, are created directly or indirectly by excessive EU competence [and]...lead to contravention of certain fundamental rights, as given in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, including adverse impacts on freedom of expression, freedom of choice and discrimination."
We await the UK government's response with interest.
Updated: 6 Mar 2013
"It's the Bioeconomy stupid!"
Following my above comment I forgot to mention the EU and Horizon2020 and the OECD. Also remember the UK Government are in love with Innovation and the Bioeconomy.
"It's the Bioeconomy stupid!"
Thank you for the article.
GM Food
What I don't understand about this article is that it says nothing about the UK Government being pro GM. Would the EU GM cooking oil legislation be a good example of where the EU regulations provide some (if not enough) protection above UK regulations?? Also can ANH say something about the EU Commission and MEPs - not the same thing?
Of course it is not easy. No easy answers?
I think there is a lot to be debated regarding the UK Government. In some instances being in the EU might (?) provide more protection from "American" economic models which the UK Government seem to be following in some instances. What are the alternatives? How can the EU be reformed and where is the UK Government and EU Commission going wrong?
Note deadline above consultation 13 January 2014.
Hi Anonymous, we've written numerous articles about the UK government's pro-GM position. Here are 2013's articles to start you off:
If you spend some time searching our website, you'll also find many articles on the European Commission/MEPs, not to mention our positions on EU policies in all areas relating to natural health. Much of our work is focused on the EU and you'll find our website a treasure trove of information - happy hunting!

In today's online climate, you constantly hear about how brands should be monitoring social media for conversations. Most brands don't do this now though many agencies and vendors are offering services to do the monitoring, and providing recommendations to effectively act on these conversations (whether it's damage control or customer acquisition). I have seen brands like Zappos pay attention to my social media posts on Twitter, and reach out to me personally – well, maybe it was an agency. Still I couldn't help feel a unique connection with this otherwise faceless brand. From that reach-out, I now have a one on one connection to Zappos through Twitter. I'm a perfect target for their marketing.
I found a great online tool who's goal is to "deliver the most relevant and current conversations happening in the world of social media." - Whostalkin.com . It's a bit like BlogPulse, though I'm not sure who has the deeper spider. Whostalkin does let you segment different networks which is a useful feature.

White House dismisses Benghazi criticismMay 10, 2013 @ 1:12 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says Friday's public disclosure of emails related to the attack on a U.S. compound in Libya is an attempt by Republicans to "politicize" the investigation.
Spokesman Jay Carney says lawmakers have known about the emails since earlier this year. And he disputed the notion that the emails suggest the White House was more involved in the crafting of talking points about the attacks than previously indicated.
The talking points suggested that the attacks on the Benghazi compound were spontaneous. It was later revealed that the attacks were planned.
The emails show White House officials were aware of the concerns from other agencies, including the State Department, about mentioning that specific groups might have been behind the attacks.

The 1,309 square foot Strawberry (404-42) would make an excellent purchase for the first time home buyer. For a family with small children, the floor design for the Strawberry offers a substantial amount for your building dollar.
The handsome wood exterior projects a solid permanence and adds greatly to the curb appeal. The covered front porch leads to a recessed entry that has a vaulted ceiling and a roomy coat closet for the convenience of your guests.
To the left of the entry are the sleeping areas. The master suite, for a home this size, is quite spacious and features a large walk-in closet with plenty of shelves, window to the back yard, and a private bathroom. Across the hall, and in perfect proximity for those with youngsters needing close attention, are two good-sized bedrooms. Each has sufficient closet space, and one contains a built-in desk. This room, if not needed for use as a bedroom, could function as a sewing room, den or home office. In the hallway are a full bathroom and a linen closet.
The main section of this floor plan, where family activities and entertaining are centered, is designated as a great room. This combines the living room, family room and dining room into one huge uncluttered expanse. Here you and your visitors can enjoy a movie, board game or good conversation. The adjacent walk-in kitchen is placed for maximum efficiency. Along with all the appliances, there is a step-in pantry. Meals are easily served in the dining area or, weather permitting; open the sliding glass doors and dine on the back patio.
An added feature is the direct access to the kitchen from the garage via the utility room. This allows you to carry groceries right into the house without worrying about the climate outside.
The Strawberry (404-42) is our plan of the week. For a limited time, we are offering up to 50 percent off construction plans for this design.

NYC hounds seeks authentic S. Indian in Sunnyvale area
- CitySpoonful Jan 23, 2012 01:35 PM
We're visiting the SF area from Queens, NYC and are looking forward to some excellent S. Indian food in the Sunnyvale area (way better than the options in Queens, anyway).
On our last trip, we were extremely impressed by the thali lunch we had at Komala Vilas -- esp. loved the idlis, which were better than those we've had in Bangalore! :)
Is Komala Vilas still THE place to go for good South Indian? We've also heard about a newer place, Pesarattu, and on our last visit we were curious to try (but lacked the stomach capacity) Tirupathi Bhimas (sp?).
Given that we prefer lighter food (i.e., less ghee/oil) and full-throttle spicing (we're used to Indian home cooking with ample mirchi/masala), where should we go for lunch this Thursday?
Many thanks, in advance, for your advice!
Hi City Spoonful
Try Madras Cafe ..Their Dosa's are pretty good ...Rava Dosa there is a must try ,from the samples I have seen they are pretty good .
Dosa in bangalore is thicker and if you are after the deep down south vegetarian it may not what you expect .
Happy eating
Madras Cafe
1177 W El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087
re: green_wyvern
Madras Cafe is indeed an excellent choice, as is Madura (more Tamil Nadu style). Two other favorites for dinner are Taste Buds and Peacock, the latter just over the Sunnyvale border in Mountain View. They have a mix of southern and northern, vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, but I haven't tried them at lunch lately.
Taste Buds
673 Grape Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94087
Madura Indian Cuisine
1635 Hollenbeck Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94087
Peacock Indian Cuisine
867 E El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA 94040
There are a variety of options in the Sunnyvale area. If you enjoyed Komala Vilas (it's still there) there are a number of similar places (very simple, limited menu, authentic) that cater to Indian ex-pats and immigrants. Many are off the beaten path, perhaps closer to an industrial office park area. I've often been intro ducted by word of mouth, and don't remember all the names.
I appreciate that you are looking for South Indian places only.
One example is Archana, at 920 E Argues Ave.
However, I am a bit confused as another restaurant also appears to be listed for the same address; even the same phone number. Change in ownership?
A larger, more commercial place Saravanaa Bhavan, also in Sunnyvale.
If you are interested in some other styles of Indian food in the area, but with a similar vibe, you could take a look at Chaat House in Sunnyvale.
Or Chaat Paradise in Mtn. View
Tough question.
All the places you listed are all vegitarian. Of course S Indian includes several different strains, including vegetarian. Like Chettinad, of which there are at least 5 in greater sunnyvale.
I recently did a round-up of half the Chicken 65 places (10 in 2 evenings), and I was shocked by the wide number of indian places I had never even heard of - and I thought I was conversant in Sunnyvale S indian. A simple search on yelp shows 120 indian entries within 5 miles of Sunnyvale, and just a Sunnyvale search (which reaches out to Milpitas) has 250 entries.
Since we have different tastes, I'm not going to recommend. I'd only suggest trying a different well regarded place, or trying to have two meals. There's just so much out there.
(one of my favorite chicken 65 was a place that just opened and doesn't appear on any restaurant map or listing service.)
If you "Full Spicing" You may want to give http://www.anjapparca.com/ a whirl. They are a chain from Chettinadi and their food is the most highly spiced I have had in the area. There meat dishes are the focus but they make great Dosi and have a good Veg Thali.
I can not speak to their Idily but judging by their Dosa it should be good.
Tirupathi Bhimas is also good, and all veg. I do not think that their idily are very good. They tend to be large and heavy.
re: chefj
Anjappar fared very well in my chicken 65 test, and I still have a take-out container of special chicken (dry). Very yummy stuff. Some of the other CH reports have been Meh, but according to my one visit, they're nuts. Anjappar is all the way across 237 which can be a traffic issue depending on time of day.
re: bbulkow
True but the OP mentioned Tirupathi Bhimas also so....
My S.O. gets the Veg set meal and it is really good. I have had their Podi ghee dosa which was really very good.
The chicken 65 and the Pepper Chicken Masala(wet) was great. I see lots of Chicken Dum Biriyani coming out of the kitchen as well.
Peacock (Santa clara) - try their Biryani, delicious.
Pessrattu (Sunnyvale) - hole in the wall kind of place with great food. They do not go light on spice.
Madura (Sunnyvale) - would recommend their Thalo.
Thank you, everyone! We decided to try Pesarattu, and had an amazing thali lunch there! (Still contemplating whether we have room for an order of idlis from Komala Vilas -- they are particularly good...)
The spicing at Pesarattu was indeed full-on and with no questions asked or less intense alternatives offered -- just the way we like it. The aloo gobi sabzi was quite oily but also very flavorful. The sambhar was our favorite --very different from the Tamil sambhar we're used to -- distinctive spicing (maybe no/less tamarind?) and no hunks of veggies. The rasam was also distinctly spiced and full throttle on the mirchi. It was super thin (couldn't even make out lentil grains) and was the perfect way to wash down our meal. Great halwa, too -- not too heavy on the ghee but super flavorful. :)
I wish we had time to try some of the other places you all suggested -- it will have to be fodder for our next visit. Here's hoping it will come soon. :)
You're all very lucky to have access to such authentic South Indian food. There's simply not enough of a South Indian community in the NYC area to support it, so we're left with the usual North Indian fare (which my husband and I cook at home anyways...).
re: CitySpoonful
Thanks for reporting back. I'll have to try this one - it's a little further away from me than the ones I recommended but seems worth it!

anjappar does have a branch in new jersey....

However, the jingle is widely disputed; behind Columbus there is a long queue of explorers who are, from time to time, pushed forward as the 'real' discoverers of America – the Portuguese, who are alleged to have arrived a generation before Columbus; the English, more specifically a Carmelite Friar, Nicholas of Lynne, who ventured into the polar region in the 14th century; Madog, the Welsh prince who is said to have set up a Welsh colony in Alabama in the 12th century; and the Vikings, whose 'Markland' is widely thought to be Labrador, Canada. And then come various other peoples, including the Carthaginians, the Egyptians, the Arabs, the Venetians, the Basques and the Picts. However, this article is dedicated to those often forgotten pioneers of exploration, the Irish, whose ancient histories include intriguing references to great islands in the western ocean.
The Irish claim to America rests primarily on a mediæval work named The Voyage of Saint Brendan. This text describes Atlantic trips made by Brendan, an Irish saint from Munster, in the sixth century, in which Brendan lands on several different islands, some of which can be identified. After years of such landfalls, Brendan finally comes to 'The Land of Saints' somewhere in the Western Ocean...
"Then getting down from the boat they saw a spacious land with apple trees bearing fruit. While they were there it was never night. They took as many of the apples as they wanted and they drank from springs, and then for forty days they wandered over the land but they could not find an end to it. A certain day they came to a great river flowing through the middle of the island. Then Saint Brendan told his companions 'We cannot cross this river, and we will never know how big this island is.' " 1
Some of this description is straight out of Celtic legend; the
perpetual light, for example, or the apple trees. One of the Welsh otherworlds, Avalon has been translated as the 'land of apples'. But for many years there has been a suspicion that this final "spacious land" – treated by Brendan as the climax of his voyages and as the 'Land of Saints' – may in fact be an Irish description of America about 1,000 years before Columbus.
In the early 1960s, Geoffrey Ashe, a writer well known for his work on the Arthurian legend, set out to systematically examine the Voyage. In his resulting book Land to the West (1963), Ashe declined to confirm Brendan's discovery of America but, in the course of his examination, made several valuable points:
The Voyage is often ignored by historians of exploration because it is considered a folk-tale. However, the Voyage has far fewer fantastic details than a standard Irish legend and many of these are best read as confused accounts of real events: a crystal tower (an iceberg); the gates of hell (an Icelandic volcano); the ocean where you could see into the depths (a coral sea); the sluggish ocean (the Sargasso Sea).
Giving the Voyage the benefit of the doubt, and using the information about the islands Brendan visits, it is possible to draw a series of itineraries that take the saint around the northern two thirds of the Atlantic: the first, St Kilda, the Faeroes, Madeira, the Azores, the Faeroes; the second, the Faeroes, Greenland; the third, the Caribbean, Madeira; the fourth, an iceberg, Iceland, Jan Mayen Island, Iceland, Rockall, the Faeroes; the fifth, the Faeroes and America. The distances given in the text – the Voyage's author describes the journey in terms of days – approximately fit these itineraries.
Ashe also pointed out that Brendan's voyage may not have been completed by the saint himself. The Voyage could instead be based on knowledge of the Atlantic culled from various sources over the centuries.One can disagree with details in Ashe's thesis, but still find the general direction of his arguments interesting. Indeed, this was what happened in the academic community following the publication of Land to the West. Nothing, as Ashe himself accepted, had been proved. But professional celticists mused – sometimes in print, but more often in conversation – that there might just be something to the claim that mediæval Irish sailors had made it across the Atlantic in the early Middle Ages.
If the Irish discovered America in the sixth century they did so because of Christianity. The religion of the Cross – that had arrived in Ireland, at the latest, in the fifth century – was a package deal. With it, as well as a creed and dogma, Heaven and Hell, came libraries of books from Greece and Rome with new ideas and new worlds of knowledge for the intellectually hungry Irish. The history of early Irish culture is largely the history of the absorption of these ideas into Irish lore. An especially pertinent example is the way the Irish treated a genre of literature known as the 'Writing of the Desert Fathers'. These Desert Fathers were the early Christians, who wandered off into the deserts of North Africa in search of quiet places to live and pray.
Irish monks were enthralled by the Desert Fathers and longed for a similar wilderness where they could give themselves over to God. A less original people would have been immediately defeated by the lack of desert in their own land, but the resourceful Irish came up with two clever ways around the problem. The first was to reserve certain boglands in their native island for the pursuit of prayer – to this day there are many place-names in Ireland with the element dísert in them. The second – an inspired piece of lateral thinking – was to turn to one wilderness that the Irish had in abundance, the Atlantic Ocean. Setting off in native curragh – Irish boats made of a wickerwork shell and a leather skin – monks went in search of 'the desert in the ocean'. The custom was already underway in the mid-sixth century when our records begin. And it was to continue at least until the late ninth century. In that time hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of Irish monks sailed deep into the Atlantic.
When the Irish wrote of a 'desert in the ocean' what they actually meant was a suitable island with food, fresh water and no one to disturb their religious devotions. But Irish navigational skills were poor prior to the ninth century, so how did the monks find these islands? The answer is horribly simple; they made no effort to navigate. They took themselves out a suitable distance from shore, raised their sails and let God (ie. the wind) decide. A classic example of this is the three Irish men who in 891 AD, were blown onto the coast of Cornwall, and who told how they had left Ireland in their small boats determined to go "wherever God wished".
It is perhaps best not to dwell on the fate of most of those Irish monks, who in their small leather boats – part hermits, part explorers, part kamikaze pilots – gave themselves up to the wind. The Atlantic is not forgiving and many would have been overturned far from home in waves several times larger than their vessels. However, some, inevitably, were blown to land, like the three that made it to Britain. Others went even further afield; there is archæological and historical evidence for Irish monks turning up in the Orkneys and Shetlands, Spain, France, the Faroes, Iceland and perhaps Greenland.
So, could a party of Irish monks, blown by easterlies, have blundered into North America as well? Given the numbers involved there would be nothing extraordinary about a boatload of Irish monks being carried by winds for 40 or 50 days and arriving half-starved on the coast of Canada or the United States. (Set off a thousand helium filled balloons from Donegal and a couple will get to America.) But, of course, there is a strong distinction between arriving in America and discovering America. There have been 'finds' of Ogam – a mediæval Irish script – in America, though these are of dubious value.2 However, discovering America involves two further achievements; first, you have to get back home; and second, you have to be able to convince your fellow-countrymen that what you have found deserves to be put on a map.
A good example of an Irish discovery – as opposed to arrival – is Iceland. Contrary to what most encyclopædias tell us, the Irish, not the Vikings, were the first historical people to settle Iceland. An Irish writer Dicuil (c 825) described how, in the late eighth century, a group of Irish priests spent most of the year on the island and had been able to pick lice from their clothes at night thanks to the 'midnight sun'. In Summer, explains Dicuil, "it does not grow dark even for the shortest space of time". 3 And in case there could be even a shadow of doubt that there were Irish religious communities in the island prior to the Vikings, a mediæval Norse text tells us that "before Iceland was peopled from Norway there were in it the men whom the Norse call the Papae: they were Christians… they left behind Irish books, bells, and crosiers…" There were, it is true, classical rumours of an island in the far north called Thule; a Carthaginian explorer Pytheas may have got there. But it was Irish monks in search of their 'desert in the ocean' who put Iceland firmly on the map, arriving there and bringing back concrete accounts that fed into the European geographical tradition.
However, with the exception of the Voyage of St Brendan there is no similar evidence for America. Dicuil claims that Iceland is the "last" island. While another source, written a good hundred years before, is even more emphatic: Adomnán's Life of St Columba (written c 700) describes a sea voyage made by an Irish monk named Cormac who sailed on "the ocean that cannot be crossed" in search of a "desert"…"[Cormac's] ship blown by the south wind drove with full sails in a straight course from land towards the region of the northern sky, for 14 summer days and as many nights. Such a voyage appeared to be beyond the range of human exploration and one from which there could be no return. And so it happened, after the 10th hour of the 14th day, that there arose all around them [..] exceedingly dangerous small creatures covering the sea, such as had never been seen before that time; and these struck with terrible impact the bottom and sides, the stern and prow, with so strong a thrust that they were thought able to pierce and penetrate the skin-covering of the ship. As those that were present there related afterwards, these creatures were about the size of frogs, very injurious by reason of their stings, but they did not fly, they swam." 4
What these animals were is a mystery: Greenland mosquitoes and flying fish have both been suggested – further ideas would be gratefully received. But most important for our purposes is Adomnán's assertion that Cormac had gone "far beyond the range of human exploration", something that is reiterated later in the Life, when Saint Columba tells his monks that Cormac's voyage "has far exceeded the bounds of human travel". On a voyage that may have taken him half-way to America, Cormac was judged to have passed out of known waters.
For those who are set on having the Irish as the discoverers of North America, neither Dicuil's claim that Iceland was the last island, nor Adomnán's various assertions about "uncrossable oceans" and the "limits of human exploration" are insuperable. Dicuil was based on the Continent and may not have wanted to have been ridiculed by writers there for strange Irish claims about unknown lands. Adomnán lived most of his life on the Scottish island of Iona, the other end of the Gaelic world from Brendan's base in Munster; perhaps he had not heard anything of the Brendan legend or had not, at any rate, taken it seriously. However, Adomnán, writing 150 years after Brendan's alleged voyage, and Dicuil, 250 years, seemed to know nothing about a land to the west.
Geoffrey Ashe did not deal with these objections. For Ashe, the Voyage of Saint Brendan was not necessarily a historical description of Brendan's travels. He considered that it might have been, instead, a scrap heap of Irish knowledge about the Atlantic welded together into a tale. The important question was, therefore, not when Brendan travelled, but when the Voyage was written. In Ashe's day this was easily answered; scholars in the early 1960s believed that the Voyage had been penned in the ninth or the 10th century as the first surviving manuscripts date from the end of the 10th century. In other words, the Voyage was probably composed after Dicuil and could have benefited from subsequent knowledge, perhaps even Viking lore (Vikings settled in Ireland in the ninth century). However, in 1988, a paper was published that changed all this; writing in an Italian mediæval studies journal, a British academic overturned the old dating of the Voyage. 5 He showed that the text was probably written as early as the seventh or eighth centuries and that it was unlikely to have been written in the ninth or 10th centuries. So the text and the body of knowledge that it seems to represent was very likely in Irish libraries before Dicuil and quite possibly before Adomnán too.
How can we reconcile this seeming contradiction? On the one hand we have Irish writers of the eighth and ninth centuries – Adomnán (c 700) and Dicuil (c 825) – refusing to acknowledge Irish discoveries beyond Iceland. On the other we have a probably seventh or eighth-century Irish text, the Voyage, that seems to be describing coral seas and the North American mainland. If we accept Ashe's arguments, we have, also, an approximate itinerary.
The easiest solution is to put the 'American' references in the Voyage down to chance – and this may, in fact, be the answer to the mystery. However, Irish tradition offers another solution that is also worth examining; one that depends on the way that the mediæval Irish perceived the world. In the early Middle Ages, many Irish intellectuals believed that the Earth was spherical with other continents lying far away in the ocean. An especially striking testimony is provided by an eighth-century Irish priest, Virgil, who preached to his congregation that not only was the world a globe with continents on the other side, but that people lived in these distant lands. 6 (Forteans may be interested to know that Virgil also claimed that people lived on the moon and in the sun.)
The Irish were not responsible for the idea of a spherical globe and continents lying away from Europe, Africa and Asia. Many classical thinkers had believed in both, though most insisted that these other continents – they called them the antipodes – were unreachable, lying across impossibly wide oceans and boiling tropics. However, the Irish were unusual in two respects. First, Christianity found the idea of these other continents offensive and had it outlawed but the Irish continued to believe in the antipodes. Second, they identified these 'antipodes' with their fairyland or Otherworld. So, for example, the above-mentioned Virgil, seems to have been suggesting to his congregation that ancestral spirits resided there, while Irish tradition talked of "one hundred and fifty distant islands in the ocean to the west of us, all two or three times the size of Ireland" with fabulous inhabitants and creatures. 7
This Irish belief in an Otherworld or mystical realm in the ocean might be the key to the disparity between the Voyage and the works of Dicuil and Adomnán. Let us, for the sake of argument, allow that Irish monks did arrive in America and that they managed to return home, bringing with them knowledge that would later be used in writing the Voyage. Perhaps Dicuil and Adomnán, and perhaps the sailors themselves, did as Irish tradition had taught them, and treated the new land not as a concrete geographical entity but as a mystical realm. We have already seen that Brendan's travels through the ocean are described as a kind of odyssey in search of "the land of saints" or the "Promised Land". When Brendan finally gets to this island, something that is seen as a favour from God after years of effort, it is described in a way that makes us think of Celtic legend: apple trees, perpetual light…
I wrote earlier that discovery depends on three points. Arrival, return and a geographical tradition prepared to put what you have found on a map. If the solution tentatively given here is correct then the Irish failed only at that last hurdle. The audience at home, hearing accounts of incredible voyages in the Western Ocean, reasoned that what was being described was a miraculous journey. This is not to say that the accounts were not believed, but rather that they were thought to have as little to do with geography as those other famous Welsh and Irish journeys to fairyland through caves or rivers – trips that were also, in their day, treated as 'real' experiences.
This theory has the virtue of accounting for some American features in the Voyage, while, at the same time, explaining Dicuil's silence and Adomnán's reference to an "uncrossable ocean". It also leaves us with a provoking conclusion; historians of the Middle Ages usually fall over themselves to praise early Irish culture for its innovative combination of classical and native learning, and there need be no argument with this. But is it also possible that, in the case of the 'antipodes', just such an original combination – sober Classical geography with a Celtic fairy-world – cheated the Irish of one of the greatest discoveries of all time… America.

Two UMass Boston students are planning a 300-mile bicycle trip from Boston to New York City to raise money for the Vietnamese American Initiative for Development (Viet-AID) in Fields Corner and the Boston Cyclist Union (BCU).
Phi Tran, 20, and Chris Finlay, 23, both of Savin Hill, were originally planning to take this bike trip for fun. After difficult semesters at school and stress from various extracurricular commitments, Tran said both he and Finlay needed to re-energize.
Tran is a member of the BCU Board of Directors. As he attended more meetings, he saw how much the union needed to raise money. He also works as a Community Organizer for Viet-AID.
"I thought, 'Why don't I turn this into a fundraiser?'" Tran said. "I let [Finlay] handle all the logistics, like he's taking care of the bikes and taking care of the route and weather and gear, and I took care of the fundraising."
Tran's goal is to raise $4,500 for each organization. The money for the BCU will go toward its summer projects like Bike To Market, which offers free bike tune-ups and sells $5 helmets from the Boston Public Health Commission and discounted U-locks. The money for Viet-AID will be put toward providing scholarships to students from low-income families who take part in the Viet-AID Summer Program for Youth.
So far, Tran has collected $500 total, but he has been using emails and Facebook to get the word out and has set up fundraising accounts on crowdrise.com for both organizations. The money collected on this website will be sent directly to the organizations after the bicycle tour.
Tran has also planned an all-you-can-eat hot pot and sushi dinner on May 29 at 7 p.m. at Van Shabu and Bar. Admission is $50, and half the proceeds will go toward the fundraiser while the other half will pay for the food at the restaurant. Though it has been a slow start, Tran is hoping he will be able to achieve his monetary goal.
"I'm getting really kind of scared, but I think [we will] because I extended the fundraising until even after [the bike tour]," Tran said. "I want to make a Youtube video or something before, and I'm going to try to make a documentary along the way, like take some videos along the way and do day-by-day updates. Maybe we'll stop by some libraries and post them up."
When the Reporter asked Tran how he and Finlay had been physically preparing for the long bike ride, Tran responded, "That's a good question," with a laugh.
"We keep telling people, 'We're going to New York,' but it hasn't hit us yet," he added. "We've been slowly preparing, like listing out things we need, like new equipment, new gear. . .Other than that we've been biking a lot, a little bit more."
Executive Director of the BCU Peter Stidman said he was excited when he first heard Tran's idea to make the bicycle trip a fundraiser. He said he took a longer bike ride like Tran when he was a younger man, and that bike rides like this are "character builders."
"It's exciting for us to be vicariously part of Phi's journey," Stidman said. "I was happy that Phi feels so strongly about the biking and that he would ride hundreds of miles for us. It's also really great to bridge a little bit between the biking and Viet-AID and the Vietnamese community in Dorchester."
Executive Director of Viet-AID Nam Pham is also an advocate of bike-riding as a form of exercise and environmental conservation.
"It not only raises money for our youth programs, but also lets people know of our contribution of young people like Phi," Pham said. "He does set a good example to our kids and also, personally, I think biking is a wonderful mode of transportation. We should bike more, all of us."
Tran said people should not only contribute to his fundraiser because it is a good cause but also because he is doing the long bike ride for all of those people who never done it themselves.
"If you donate, I feel like you can take part of it," Tran said. "In a way, I'm doing it for the people who have never done it, for the people who want to do it, for the people who really want to be part of something that is a little bit bigger than them in saying, 'I helped donate to this awesome ride.'"
To donate, visit crowdrise.com and search "Biking from the Bean to the Apple" to donate to the BCU or "Scholarship for Summer School" to donate to Viet-AID. For more information, please contact Phi Tran at firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

MCA supports DOT decision to modify rules for livestock hauling
The Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration made the decision July 8 to allow livestock truckers a 90-day waiver from a rest-break provision included in new rules, which went into effect on July 1. The rest-break provision requires drivers to take a 30-minute break during the first eight hours of a shift. While the rule changes were well-intentioned, according to Missouri Cattlemen's Association Executive Vice President Mike Deering, they did not take into account animal welfare. Deering said livestock hauling is not the same as hauling non-living items.
"Livestock hauling is a whole different animal," said Deering. "When hauling livestock, a top priority for drivers is the welfare of the animals. The 30-minute break requirement doesn't sound like much, but in hot weather that is a long time for livestock. This would cause unneeded stress on these animals."
FMCSA granted the 90-day waiver as a result of above average temperatures forecast for much of the country from now through September.
"The agency made the right decision. This will allow truckers to continue treating livestock humanely by preventing unnecessary stress, especially on hot days like we've been experiencing here in the Midwest lately," said Deering.
The Missouri Cattlemen's Association was initiated in 1911 and is dedicated to improving viability of Missouri's beef industry. MCA is celebrating its 101st year serving as the voice of Missouri's 60,000 beef producers. The organization has members from over 100 of Missouri's 114 counties. MCA is a not-for-profit, grassroots, member-driven organization focused on the protection and promotion of the economic, educational, political and social interests of the Missouri beef cattle industry. Contact MCA at 573-499-9162 or at www.mocattle.com.

This week's featured pets Beeker, Belize, Bert, Fala, Henry, and Homer are awaiting their forever homes at Louisville Metro Animal Services. They are just a few of many at the shelter in need of adoption. Are any of this week's featured pets the one for you?
Fala is a 2-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix. She is a big girl, strong and loyal and true. Fala has some energy and she loves to play with people and other dogs. She also appreciates a good scratching. That's good to know because her coat is thick enough she'll need regular brushing, but we bet she'll enjoy that quiet time with you. Fala likes to be on the go and will be a great walking companion. Anatolian Shepherds are known for being steadfast and protective - perfect companions for exploring new neighborhoods. Fala is up-to-date on routine shots and has a yellow and tan medium coat. If you would like to contact Metro to ask about this dog, it is very helpful if you have the ID number (A469563) handy. Thanks.
Henry is a 2-year-old Black Labrador Retriever. He's a very friendly, social boy, which isn't surprising at all to Lab fans. Henry loves a good all-body scratch and will hunker down into the "Let's Play" position to let you know he likes it - and he'd like to play. He also rolls over for a belly rub when you approach him. He's a silly, loving boy. Henry has a funny coat in that it looks like he has a permanent cowlick down his back. Or maybe it's better described as a Mohawk haircut down his spine. Anyone else thinking perfect for walking down Bardstown Road in the Highlands. One volunteer noticed that Henry has a white marking on his chest that looks sort of like the UofL "L". Get some red accessories and he's ready for game day! Any Highlands-loving Cards fans interested? Henry is up-to-date on his routine shots, neutered, and has a short black coat, and is house trained. Henry prefers a home without other dogs or small children. If you would like to contact Metro to ask about this dog, it is very helpful if you have the ID number (A467683...
Homer is a one-year-old Rottweiler and he's pretty magnificent. He's friendly and outgoing and likes to be outside with people. He enjoys walks but will need a little work on the leash because he can pull pretty hard. Not surprising, because he's a strong, magnificent boy. One of our Rottweiler-loving volunteers thinks Homer just needs someone to throw a ball to him and give him good scratching and he'll be in Rottweiler Heaven. Homer is a people-loving dog and will lean into your legs when he stands next to you, a sign of dogs that are bonded to humans. Homer is a good ol' boy looking for a good home. Perhaps you can help? Homer is up-to-date on routine shots, is neutered, and has a black and tan short coat. If you would like to contact Metro to ask about this dog, it is very helpful if you have the ID number (A466547) handy. Thanks!!
Hello. My name is Beeker. I may be small for my age but I make up for it with my love of fun! I like to run, run, run really fast and play with little toys that roll. I'll chase one if you throw it for me. I love to play, but I really want someone to cuddle me. Everyone at the shelter is really nice but all I want is a mommy or daddy to cuddle with when I'm tired. It would be awesome if you stopped by and meet me. My foster mom tells me I'm really soft, lots of fun, and that I have a sweet purr that will make you smile! . If you're interested in adopting me, please tell everyone at Animal House that you want to meet Beeker (Pet ID #461915). My brothers are Taco and Pico, and my sister is Squeakers. I hope we all find new families." Beeker is up-to-date on routine shots, spayed, and house trained.
Belize is fun to be around because she takes it easy and enjoys her day. And she absolutely loves catnip! This girl can help you relax after a hard day, and keep you company as she shares in household activities. Belize is up-to-date on routine shots, spayed, is house trained, and has a short tabby coat.
Bert is a baby kitten with a short grey tabby coat. Bert is up-to-date on routine shots, neutered, and is house trained.

As South Sudan peace talks are suspended, the fate of this young country hangs in the balance
In reaction to the suspension of South Sudan mediation talks in Addis Ababa, Oxfam's Acting Country Director in South Sudan, David Crawford, said:
Progress at Geneva II peace talks, but Syrian civil society and women continue to be denied access
As the press conference with UN Special Envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi wrapped up, Mr. Brahimi announced that both sides will meet tomorrow (Saturday, 25 January) in the same room.
Geneva II offers best chance for a political solution to Syria Crisis, must start with commitment to halt violence and improve humanitarian situation
The Geneva II Conference, which opens today, must deliver real change in the lives of ordinary Syrians. Worldwide development organization Oxfam calls for increased participation of women and civil society organizations in peace process.
Friends of Syria meeting should focus on ensuring Syrian voices are central, and stopping the violence
Oxfam France Conflict and Humanitarian Advocacy Officer Nicolas Vercken said: "The debate about which countries are on or off the guest list risks becoming a distraction.

This is my favorite tinted moisturizer. I used this in the summer, because it has a slightly drier finish, unlike most TM's that never set. This is not to say it is a matte finish, when set with powder I would be quite glowy by the end of the day (which I like!). I have pores, dark acne scars, and oily t-zone. Has good coverage, like a lightweight foundation: I used 1 pump if using in place of foundation, or if wearing alone I would use 2 pumps to help downplay acne scarring.
I like that is has SPF50, & my skin usually looks improved after I remove it. I think the tomato extract may be slightly exfoliating. The packaging is nice because it has a pump which dispenses a nice pea-sized amount, as well as coming with a little cap. Not a fan of the pink & orange color scheme, admittedly. The only cons to this product are the price (for $15 I could buy a full-cover DS foundation) & finding a match to your shade. They run a little dark, and can oxidize, but mine only slightly darkened, not as severe as the uploaded picture. Perhaps setting with powder makes the difference.
If you are debating between this and the other organic wear spf15 TM from Physician's Formula, it would depend on your skin type and desired coverage. I would recommend this one for oily skin & a little higher coverage. It is not always flattering on dry patches & can cling to flakes. The organic wear is much more liquidy and sheer, also a bit more moisturizing for dry skin.
If MUA had .5 scoring, I'd rate it 4.5, I just don't believe in giving 5's unless a product is truly perfect. Hopefully this review wasn't too disorganized, this is my first review & I typed it on an iPad. So far, it's basically been an HG for me.

I found this at Big Lots for dirt cheap! This has way more coverage than the average tinted moisterizer. I have mine in ivory/fair. It looks a little dark when you pump it out, but once applied to the skin it blends in perfectly. It lasts all day and looks really natural. Too bad it is discontinued! I have to go back to Big Lots and get a few more bottles. Sooner or later I'll have to find something else to replace it, but for now I am totatally in love with it.

This is my everyday go to foundation. I use the med to tan and add a drop of bronzer to bring it to the perfect color for my skin. I have an light olive tone and live in FLorida and ths lasts all day, with a dash of mineral powder to handle the little bit of "glow" that it imparts. It has more coverage than most TMs. When I need to jump start my day without doing the moisturizer, SPF etc. - this is great. I use a damp sponge to apply.

Ahhhhh! I picked this up at big lots, after reading the good reviews and the cheap price. I knew it was discontinued, but I just wanted to try it. I love it! I mix it with my regular moisturizer, and it gives me just the right amount of coverage. The way I do it makes the coverage really light and subtle. It has to settle in your skin, but it doesn't oxidize or break me out. I love this stuff! I need to go to more big lots and stock up. Get it if you can!

This is the first tinted moisturizer I've ever tried, and I wanted to love it, but the color is simply way too dark and way too orange to come anywhere close to matching my NW15 skin.
I wish I'd read reviews here before I ordered this online.
I can't think of anyone I know who has skin this color,so I just tossed the moisturizer.
At least it was an inexpensive lesson. I'm willing to try other tinted moisturizers, but I won't be re-purchasing this one.

I LOVE THIS. I can't believe the coverage - it covers all of my redness, which is something I've rarely found in a foundation, let alone a tinted moisturizer! Lately I have been using Lorac Neutralizer mixed with either TheBalm's BalmShelter tinted moisturizer, Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB cream, or Garnier's BB cream, because all 3 tend to turn slightly orange on me and don't cover enough of my redness, but with this product I don't need the neutralizer. I just apply 2-3 pumps with my fingers and then blot my face with a beauty blender knockoff sponge and my face is flawless for the rest of the day. I also wanted to add that I don't notice a smell, although some reviewers have. I have a pretty sensitive nose so I'm pleased with the lack of smell.
The only con is that the shades run a bit dark; I am usually the second-lightest shade in most products, but with this one I am the lightest shade, which is "ivory/fair." That said, this color matches me PERFECTLY and doesn't oxidize on me, which is amazing. The SPF is a huge plus, too - it's so rare to find any makeup with more than 15, so 50 is just fantastic. I got it at Big Lots for $4, so you can't beat the price either! I am going back soon to buy backups.
I know I have been talking this product up and not everyone has had as great of an experience with this as I have, but for $4 at Big Lots what have you got to lose by giving it a try? You may have found your new HG like I did :)

ok, if you have read my review on Missha perfect cover BB cream, you know I mix this with that for my perfect color match. That being said, THIS product is awesome. It has spf 50, it is cheap compared to HE tinted moisturizers, the coverage is great, and the finish is very natural. This would be my HG if the color range were better. I got the lightest color in "Ivory to Fair" and it is way too dark for me. It runs very warm. The packaging is a bright orange, so it's easy to find in your makeup bag/ drawer, and it is 1oz so it's not huge. It has a pump, so it's hygienic, which I like. I don't like that you can't tell how much you have left in the pump, but it appears that it has a vacuum style pump, so you get every bit of product.

I bought a bottle of this from Big Lots on Friday for 4$. I loved it so much I went the next day on Sat. and bought 3 back ups! Maybe a little bit overboard, but I know the retail price is close to $15. The only color they had was Fair to light and it works well for my coloring but is a tad bit too dark. I am sad to read that there is an ivory to light color that I think would work better for me, but they didn't have that at Big Lots. I think that this TM does pull a little dark so I would go with lighter than darker if you are on the fence about colors.
I was so shocked with how much coverage it gave! Wow! It also spread on really nicely (with my fingers) and had no streaking. It also left a relatively matte finish, which is rare for TM in my opinion.
Today I put on two coats to build up coverage and it looks almost like a foundation! I really am pleased with that look, considering that I don't have to blend and that it comes with moisturizer and high SPF all in one. Is nice with other products, like blush and highlighter.
The con for me is the strange smell. It is not a sunscreen smell, but there is some kind of chemicall-y smell I don't care for. It doesn't linger and it doesn't bother me that much, but it would be better if it wasn't there.
I wore it all day yesterday with no primer and it wore so well! There was minor slipage in the nose area, but I was seriously impressed, especially since it was super hot and I have oily skin and large nose pores that give off a ton of oil.
Today I used some primer and so so far, it is nice. I set with translucent powder with helps me with everything.
In all, I really would recommend this product! I think it is really well made and formulated and performs well. I would pay retail price for it.I also love the cute colors and slim packaging with pump!
EDIT 9/21: I had to end out returning my original bottle and all of my backups. What ended out happening was it began to oxidize and turn super orange, in addition to being a little bit too dark. I was shocked at how orange I looked the other day while I was out! I was so embarrassed. Right back to the store. I had to lower my overall rating from a 5 to 3. I think if you can find one to match your skin well it is maybe still pretty good but man, these run so dark and so orange. I will stick to my other TM and let this one go. I wanted to like it so much :(

I love this tinted moisturizer so much! I bought it at Big Lots for $4.00 (I think it's originally around $12-$15). I've been using this for quite some time now and my skin looks so beautiful. This is the best it has looked since my freshman year in high school (college freshman now). It's glowing, beautiful, and just gorgeous! After I wash my face at night, my skin is super soft. This will be perfect for me during the winter when my skin is extremely dry. I know it seems a little greasy (not as bad as I thought it would be), but anything with sunscreen in it will seem a little greasy. I just set it with mineral powder and I'm good to go! I would recommend this, but if you are incredibly pale, this might be a little darker for you. Overall, I am definitely satisfied with this product! :)

I am so happily surprised at how much I love this TM! I have tried so many TMs from Cover Girl to Amore Pacific & this one surprisingly wins hands down. I have combo skin, oily in the t-zone, around NC35 & have this in natural to tan, which at first I thought would not work, but once you spread it on, it matches my now tan summer skin. It definitely feels too thick when you first put it on, but just give it a few minutes to settle in & it melds & blends into my skin very nicely. For a tm I find it gives great coverage, only thing I use after is concealer for my under eyes & powder to set it. It gives me skin a really nice almost airbrushed look that lasts all day long & best of all is that it does not oxidize! I had terrible oxidation w/Laura Mercier's oil free tm & I didn't like that it only contained chemical sunscreens in it.
This TM offers a physical sunscreen (titanium dioxide) which I need because since I am olive toned, my skin eats up any chemical ss (weird,I know!) so I have to have physical ss, but physical ss usually have a terrible white cast & this does not so I'm super happy with it. I would highly recommend! It makes getting ready for me in the am so much quicker. Also this comes in a pump form, perfect for travel or doing your makeup/face on the run (which I regularly do, being a mom of 3 little ones!).
So some of the pros:
-awesome coverage
-UVA & UVB protection
-does not oxidize
-lasts all day
-great color selection for tanned skin
-can be built up a little
-can feel a little thick at first
-lighter skinned gals might not find a shade
-you need to set w/powder
I just wanted to add that I have used several powders to set & it works with all I have tried which are: MUFE hd, Maybelline dream matte, Ben Nye banana powder, and Laura Mercier loose powder.

Stoughton (cpd) - Canadian airmen who flew with Bomber Command during the Second World War are getting recognition 67 years after their service.
National Defence Minister Peter McKay announced on June 25 a Bomber Command Bar will be awarded to Second World War veterans who served in the Bomber Command. In doing so the federal government has recognized with distinction these special airmen of the war.
At age 93, Wilf Coderre of Stoughton is one of the few living recipients to receive this Bomber Command Clasp. The special silver bar clasp is to be worn on the Canadian Service Medal, and depicts a four-engine Second World War bomber in the centre, superimposed on a pebbled background.
There were 50,000 young Canadians who volunteered for Bomber Command and who were later sent on missions over Germany to combat the formidable German air defences. Approximately 10,000 made the ultimate sacrifice and died.
Wilf was 20 when he joined the RCAF. In January 1944 he was on his 13th bombing mission with five other crew members.
There were 1,000 planes in the air that night, 48 planes were shot down and his plane was one of them. He was able to free himself from behind the turret of the tail gun he was operating and parachuted out at 17,000 feet. He spent the next 17 months as a prisoner of war and was released only when the war ended.
Coderre is also the recipient of a prestigious red-eyed caterpillar lapel pin, military memorabilia issued by the Irvin Parachute Co. Inc., recognizing that he successfully used a parachute to bail out of a disabled aircraft.
The chute made by Irvin was the one he wore the night his plane was shot down. The caterpillar represents the silk used to make the chute and the red eyes indicates his plane was on fire.
This Bomber Command Clasp will be added to Coderre's collection of five other medals.
After the war, Wilfred successfully founded W.H. Coderre and Sons Construction. Today the business is owned and operated by his three sons, Del, Kim and Randy.

Service dogs are great tools for those with disabilities who need a little help doing everyday tasks. Service Dogs of Virginia trains and provides dogs for people with disabilities, Type-1 Diabetes, and Autism.
Service Dogs of Virginia is based in Charlottesville but they serve the entire state. Dogs are fully trained by the time they reach two-years old but there is also a training process for the person with their dog.
Ricky Chang, a service dog trainee with Jack, has been on the waiting list for a service dog for two years.
Chang said, "I have no use of my fingers or my wrists. So, if I drop something I'm out of luck."
The training process between a person and the service dog last two weeks. Jack ,Chang's service dog, and Chang have been working together for nine days so far.
Chang said, "It's tiring but it's fun. It's going to be rewarding."
The first week of training is spend at the Service Dogs of Virginia training facility. The second week is out on the town visiting shops and restaurants. This process gets the dog and human trained together and ready to be out on their own.
Peggy Lee, Founder and Executive Direct of Service Dogs of Virginia, said, "It's kind of like a dance. The person has to learn not only how to dance but how to lead because the dog can't do it otherwise."
The dogs not only help with the trickier parts of everyday life but they are also trained to save lives.
Bruce Dellinger, a service dog trainee with Cole, said, "I'm an artist. I draw with my mouth. I drop things during the day and I don't always have some one around."
Dellinger had a service dog several years ago. He knows first hand how service dogs can save a life.
Dellinger explained, "I went to answer a telephone call and ended up pushing her bed against the electric heat and didn't realize it and almost caught the house on fire. I was able to get Shannon to pull her bedding out away."
Cole and Jack, the service dogs, are much more than just helping hands, they become life long friends.
Dellinger said, "For me, not only the companionship it provides but, it also makes me more independent to have a service dog because I don't have to ask for things."
Chang said, "A good buddy! We'll sit outside, hang out, go to the park kind of thing."
Service Dogs of Virginia only requires a small placement fee from their clients. Each of the service dogs is valued at about $40,000.

Protecting residents from unfair towing fees
Mayor Mike McGinn and Councilmember Nick Licata yesterday announced plans to cap fees for involuntary tows from private property. The proposed legislation, which goes to the City Council tomorrow, protects consumers while balancing tow companies business interests and private property owners' ability to seek relief from unauthorized parking. Standard impounds will be capped at $156.75, and storage rates are limited to $15.50 for up to 12 hours. Sales tax and an impound fee, yet to be determined, will also be applied.
"This proposal protects Seattle visitors and residents from predatory towing fee policies," said McGinn. "After performing extensive outreach to all stakeholders, we believe it is fair to all parties, including towing operators. I thank Councilmember Licata for his work on this proposal and look forward to Council action to make this proposal the law."
Predatory towing practices include:
- charging unwarranted or excessive fees, particularly in connection with impounding vehicles from private parking lots that may not display warnings to the vehicle owners;
- overcharging consumers for involuntary tows; and
- holding a vehicle owner's personal belongings until all tow fees have been paid.
Councilmember Nick Licata worked with staff from the Mayor's Office and the Department of Finance and Administrative Services to develop the proposal.
"It's perfectly reasonable to charge people who park on private property when they aren't authorized to do so," Licata said. "However, they shouldn't have to pay whatever the towing company decides, no matter how high the rate. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the City Council to create this new regulatory program."
Seattle joins the ranks of other cities, such as Minneapolis, Portland and Indianapolis, which cap private towing rates. The proposed legislation creates a regulatory framework for all tow companies and drivers, including:
- background checks for truck operators;
- operating and conduct standards, such as prohibitions against operating without a license or driving a truck when unfit;
- personnel who are available to the public 24×7 to release an impounded vehicle;
- posting appropriate signage regarding fees and redemption procedures; and
- complaint investigation procedures.
It also allows consumers to remove or retrieve personal property or possessions from a vehicle, either at the scene of a tow or at a vehicle storage facility prior to payment. Under the proposal, tow companies and tow truck cannot charge a fee for or refuse to allow this retrieval.
The program is expected to begin in January 2013.

They have completely updated this new building with interactive gadgets and a large presence of social Media. This is what brings a library into the 21st century.
Manchester A Day of Peaceful Protest & Music #stecuos #MoCo360
I made this film using my Nokia Lumia 1020. My reasoning behind making this film was to prove that a mobile phone can play a huge part in current media. This style of using a mobile phone camera in serious media is still a relatively new idea, although it has been incorporated by such media giants as The Guardian and NME to name but a few.
At a time when mistrust in our government and the media is commonplace, more and more people are switching to social media to find the truth. This has created a culture of film makers, all carrying a camera in their pocket and largely eager to shoot whatever they can and upload it.
This film also demonstrates how people of different cultures and beliefs can share a street in protest to their particular gripe.
I subtly edited it in a way that added a touch of comedy feel which you may not catch on the first time round.
I used the default Nokia Lumia 1020 camera app to shoot this film as the style of filming did not require effects except the clip of a police helicopter hovering above the crowd. I wanted the helicopter to be viewed as insidious. A representation of the paranoia felt globally of a big brother state and the New World Order (or Goldman Sachs, whichever you want to call them).
To create the effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CC I first added some noise to give a static effect. I configured the luma to give the helicopter a blurred look (which is actually a trick I learnt from Capricorn One). And lastly I changed the tint and drowned out the colour which enhances the narrative.
There was no planning when making this film. Purposely because I wanted to demonstrate the whole premise behind using a mobile film to capture current events and that a large amount of media found online is filmed on the fly as opposed to planned in advance.
I went into Manchester where I knew I wouldn't have a problem finding good footage and stumbled into this mass protest as soon as I stepped off the tram.
This film and millions of other videos found on social media (except the ones about planet x and the lizard baby) show that the world is becoming one huge media circus where nowhere is left un-filmed.
Good or bad?
Mobile Firsts – Whiskey Jar #stecuos, #MoCo360
This was a 2 minute film made by myself and my Social Tech group at uni. We set out to film a heap of random images which would be put together for a music video for Tiny and the Dckheads. Some phone apps were used for effects but I also did some transitional effects in Adobe Premiere.
Hope you enjoy!
