Do our mobile phones secretly listening to us?
When adverts pop up on apps, seemingly tailored to you, it can appear like your phone is listening to you. Tech giants, like Facebook and Google, have been accused of eavesdropping, with some investigations claiming that specific ads appear related to conversations users have had near their phones. However, a new experiment argues that the idea of phones secretly listening to us is a "myth". An Online investigation looked into whether mobile phones are listening to us.. The investigation came up with a list of topics, which had never been Googled before: business cards, spandex, and vegan food. Then began talking about them in the presence of a phone, ensuring that the microphone was turned on in all of her apps. The report: “Within days the smart phone was inundated with ads related to these keywords.” 4
One advert that was received was offering half price on business cards, then after discussing it with a client over a coffee. Despite being a meat-eater, the phone got an advert about vegan meal plans following a chat about a new cookbook with another client. The online investigation contacted tech companies, such as Facebook, Amazon, and Sony, for comments, but they refused to provide a response. But whether they deny it or not, I am now 100 per cent convinced phones are to us. However, BBC's cyber security reporter Joe Tidy explains why phones that secretly listen to us are a "myth". Wandera, a mobile security company, carried out an investigation to determine whether tech giants are listening to our conversations. They put two phones - one Android, one Apple - into an "audio room" playing 30 minutes of cat and dog foods ad on repeat. Two identical phones were placed in a silent room.
The researchers also kept apps open for Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, SnapChat, YouTube and Amazon with full permissions.
If it is enabled, your phone is listening for the "OK Google" hotword, but it is not recording everything you say and uploading it to Google. As MakeUseOf explains: "Just like The experiment was repeated at the same with concerns over the Amazon Echo, time for three days. constantly recording everything a device hears would result in enormous amounts of They found “no evidence that phones or apps useless data." were secretly listening”.

Funding puts art and culture at the heart of communities Innovative arts and cultural projects are to benefit from the Cultural Investment Programme Originators fund Eighteen Bristol-based organisations are to receive grants of £500 - £5000 for cultural and arts activities delivered throughout the city. Successful projects include Ad Infinitum’s “Extraordinary Wall of Silence” Legacy Programme, bringing together D/deaf and hearing artists and supporting the culture sector to improve access to theatre for the D/deaf community. The “Aan Dheelno! Let’s Play!” project will bring Somali community focused creative play workshops to families in Barton Hill. Big Team CIC will deliver youth led events and networking sessions for young people who are interested in developing a career in the creative industries. Councillor Craig Cheney, Deputy Mayor said: “The vision for the Cultural Investment Programme is to make arts and culture accessible for all. The projects chosen will help develop Bristol’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading cultural cities, and organisers will work with communities to increase access to arts and culture. 6
“This time we wanted to make sure we made the process as easy and as accessible as possible. The council’s culture team reviewed the application process with the support of an external group to simplify the way people had to apply, to make sure everyone who wanted could apply, and offer online networking sessions for potential applicants. We received a very large number of applications, including many strong projects and ideas for making culture accessible for all in Bristol.” The successful projects will receive £500 - £5000 Originators funding for up to 12 months, starting in June 2021 and completing by the end of May 2022. Bristol City Council has also released funding to the 25 projects selected last year. The 2020/21 Originators Fund was put on hold because of challenges around delivering cultural activity alongside COVID-19. One of these projects is “Meadows to Meaders”, an intergenerational story-telling project involving Southmead residents in scriptwriting, drama, production and performance.
One Southmead resident involved in the project said: “The stories are personal, this brings the community together, promotes a sense of positive identity and encourages an interest in arts and culture. You can always read about the history of a place with all the facts and figures but to have that history performed in front of you by residents truly engages people. Meadows to Meaders is a Southmead Soap Opera but it's better than EastEnders because all the stories are true!
Many Minds worked with several partners specialising in the arts and homelessness to deliver “Change the Seen”, using theatre to give young people aged 16-25 a voice to speak out about issues affecting them. The funding enabled the team to apply for match funding from other grants and engaged with 20 young people over 12 weeks. A full list of the projects funded in 2021 can be found on the Bristol City Council website Arts and culture funding by clicking the image on the left.
“The benefits of the project are many. We have all become one big happy family and we have gotten to know many new people. Working with the Bristol Old Vic has been one of the highlights and they have taught us many new skills such as script writing.” Many Minds, recipients of Originators funding in 2018, is a mental health and performance charity with the aim to empower individuals who have had experiences with mental ill health to reach their full potential through creativity and performance.

New videos raise awareness Organisations across the city are encouraging people to contact local support services if they, or someone they know, needs help, via a series of short films released today. The videos showcase available support and how to access it during the pandemic. The films can be viewed as a playlist on YouTube and will be available via social media this week, encouraging people to use the hashtag #AreyouOK to help raise awareness of what support is available across the city. Deputy Mayor, Councillor Asher Craig, said: “I hope these videos show anyone who is struggling that support is available and are encouraged to reach out. We do not want to see anyone living in fear, at risk or isolated. I urge everyone to watch these videos, look out for one another and make sure that the most vulnerable in our society are not forgotten.” Organisations who participated include: Next Link, Victim Support, One25, Off the Record, Bristol Mind, Mothers for Mothers, Bristol Drugs Project, the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, Unity Sexual Health and 1625 Independent People.

Melanie Campbell, Interim Head of Services at Bristol Mind, said: “It’s been a priority for us at Bristol Mind throughout the pandemic to ensure our services are here for those who need us, when they need us. “It’s so important to let people know that we are here to listen, give advice and information, and provide mental health and wellbeing support to the community of Bristol, no matter what the restrictions are.” The pandemic has had an impact on the physical and mental health of many of Bristol’s most vulnerable people. Lockdown restrictions have meant that many of those most at risk, such as people experiencing domestic or child abuse, may be missing out on receiving help, or do not know where to seek it. Priya (name changed to protect identity) reached out to Next Link domestic abuse services after her abusive relationship escalated during lockdown. She said: “I am so glad I contacted Next Link for help. I didn’t really trust anyone so that’s why I did it online. He made me feel like I was the problem and I was scared other people would think the same. Once I spoke to someone it was like a weight lifted off me. I felt like she was kind and really understood what I was going through and how hard it was for me and my family.”
The release of the videos marks the one-year anniversary of the Are you OK? campaign, launched by the Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership and Bristol City Council, to look out for others who may be at risk or struggling during the pandemic. Ivan Powell, Chairperson of the Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership, said: “These videos are a reminder that people may be struggling as the restrictions remain in place. We must continue to look out for each other’s wellbeing and consider whether those around us, family, friends or neighbours or even those we may not know so well, need support. I encourage everyone to watch the videos to see what is available in our city, in case you find yourself, or someone you know, in need of support.’’ The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership website has information available for anyone looking for support or advice: bristolsafeguarding.org/ areyouok. The police should be called on 999 if anyone is in immediate danger.

What's in season in July Summer is fully underway and allotments and growing spaces are brimming with salad leaves, vegetables and berries. At this time of year, many gardeners and growers take advantage of the long days to look after veg beds and flower borders. In warm weather, it’s important to regularly water trees, shrubs and perennials. It’s best to water your garden either at the beginning or end of the day. It’s also a good idea to hoe and pull out weeds to prevent them from setting seed and look out for signs of pests and diseases in allotments and greenhouses. You can even start thinking about your autumn harvest. Peas, dwarf beans and carrots can all be sown now. If you don’t have a garden or allotment, you can still enjoy the best of the summer by treating yourself to fresh produce from local markets and shops.

This month we're talking about new potatoes New potatoes from Jersey or further afield appear on supermarket shelves very early in the year, but most British new potatoes, especially those grown at home, only come into their own now. Planted in March or April, new potatoes do best if they receive plenty of rain during May and June while their tubers are swelling. New potatoes are usually ready to harvest when they begin to flower, athough it’s worth using a fork to gently investigate whether decent sized tubers have developed on one plant before lifting the whole crop. Unearthing a mass of perfectly-formed potatoes from the ground is one of life’s greatest pleasures and something children never fail to find astonishing. New potatoes need to be really waxy for the best potato salads. Great waxy varieties include ‘Accent’, ‘Annabelle’ and ‘Charlotte’. For home gardeners, early varieties like these are well worth growing as they taste delicious when very fresh and can be harvested before potato blight starts to be a problem in late summer. 11
Regeneration of an area of Bedminster takes another step forward
The project to regenerate the area around Whitehouse Street in Bedminster has ta another step forward. Following a period of extensive public engagement, work is now beginning to create a regeneration framework that will guide change in the area over the next 5-10 years. The council will use feedback from the community and local businesses as part of the mix of considerations that will influence the regeneration framework as it is developed before it is formally consulted on later in 2021. In February, Bristol City Council, in partnership with local landowners the Galliard Apsley Partnership and The Hill Group, announced that they will be working together to develop the regeneration framework. By coming together and working collaboratively to create the framework for the whole area, the landowners hope to bring plans forward in a joined-up way to enable a coherent design that avoids piecemeal development. The long-term ambition is to create a thriving mixed-use, liveable neighbourhood with high-quality new homes to accommodate Bristol’s growing population, while providing inclusive economic growth and community development as the city emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic. 12
The brownfield site, which currently hosts commercial and light-industrial uses, as well as vacant plots of land, is ideally located near key public transport and walking and cycling routes into the city centre, making it a sustainable location for much-needed new homes, jobs and community facilities. Through the framework the council also hopes to strengthen the important economic and social function of Bedminster’s historic high street, East Street. The project will explore ways to improve culture and the evening economy in the area and will be underpinned by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as set out in Bristol’s One City Plan. To ensure local people have more of a voice in the regeneration of the area from the outset, the council commissioned Action Greater Bedminster (AGB), a group that works to improve Bedminster and Southville, to undertake an extensive programme of engagement. This included community meetings, an online survey and interactive map, and face-to-face meetings with residents. AGB worked alongside Bristol City Council’s Community Development team, as well as Windmill Hill City Farm, The Sanctuary and Fun 4 Families to reach out across the neighbourhood and gather as many views as possible.
In response to the engagement programme, the council and Action Greater Bedminster received over 200 responses to the community survey, 220 comments on the interactive map of the area, and over 85 attendees at community meetings and workshops. Using the feedback gathered, Action Greater Bedminster has now published a Community Manifesto that sets out the community’s priorities for housing, employment, sustainability, transport and community building, with the aim of helping the area to thrive and grow as it changes. The council will now use the Community Manifesto as one of a number of considerations that will influence the regeneration framework as it is developed, alongside factors like planning policy, viability assessments and technical information, such as the location of underground utilities.
Ellie Freeman, Chair of Action Greater Bedminster, said: “We want the greater Bedminster area to thrive and grow, supporting diversity, sustainability and accessibility. Whitehouse Street can be a key part of this, complementing what is already in the area and creating new opportunities. It is a potential connector between Temple Quarter, Redcliffe flats, Bedminster and Windmill Hill. “This process has been a huge learning curve and, while not perfect, has meant the community has been able to feed into the framework and engage with the development process more directly than ever before. We’re really pleased the council has taken this approach and hope it will be used more in future.”
There will be two community workshops on Wednesday 7th July at 19:30 and Saturday 10th July at 10:00 for local people to help to identify and test some early scenarios that address issues such as movement, landscape and activities. These discussions will help to inform the development of the regeneration framework. To find out more and register for the sessions, visit Whitehousestreet.com. Cllr Tom Renhard, Cabinet Member for Housing Delivery, said: “This approach to community engagement reiterates our commitment to hearing from and listening to local people as we bring forward major regeneration in our city. We want to create a fairer, more inclusive Bristol, while building the new homes, jobs and community spaces that are needed as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. By working with local groups like Action Greater Bedminster, we can reach the right people at the right time and ensure that the community continues to have a voice as the project moves forward.”

Bollards! The saga of the missing bollard continues. First reported in December, 2020, we still don’t have a date for its replacement even though drivers are regularly mounting the pavement and endangering pedestrians in order to take advantage of the short cut between Bloomfield and Whitby Roads. Apparently, the bollard had to be specially ordered and that’s the reason for the delay! Damaged bench:

Atlantic Charter Commemorations Postponed
Bristol’s commemoration plans for the signing of the Atlantic Charter in mid-July have been postponed, due to continued Covid restrictions. The scale of the commemoration, planned for Saturday July 17 and Sunday July 18, has been deemed not viable on those dates. The weekend was to mark the 80th anniversary of an event in 1941 when Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt met aboard HMS PRINCE OF WALES off the coast of Newfoundland. The Charter was the shared vision of the two world leaders for a post WWII world. It committed to a world “free of want and fear” where “global economic co-operation and advancement of social welfare” would build a foundation for peace and security. Bristol’s Lord Lieutenant Peaches Golding, said: “It is with great regret that we have had to postpone these celebrations, which continue to underline the significance of Bristol’s affiliation with the new aircraft carrier HMS PRINCE OF WALES. “The US Embassy, HMS PRINCE OF WALES and the Royal Navy, City Hall, Bristol Cathedral and the Lieutenancy, are now seeking an alternate date to lay up the White Ensign in Bristol Cathedral and to conduct other commemorative activities.” 16

First UK 10K race for visually impaired runners only The first 10k race in the UK ever to be held for the blind and partially sighted is taking place in Bristol later this year.
The Visually Impaired (VI) Runners 10K Challenge is happening as part of the Great Bristol Run on 19th September after local guide runner Colin Johnson asked the organisers, The Great Run Company, to incorporate a race that would encourage people with sight loss to take part. Participants will set off ahead of the mass start for the Great Bristol Run 10k and half marathon races. "If you run and you are blind or visually impaired you normally have to compete in the same races as sighted runners," says Colin Johnson. "The VI Runners 10K Challenge is the first race of its kind in the UK where runners with sight loss will compete for their own medals but more importantly, I hope it encourages as many people who are blind or partially sighted to pull on a pair of trainers and take part."
There are approximately 2 million people living with sight loss in the UK with 350,000 people registered severely sight impaired. Of the small percentage who do run, a growing number are from the Bristol area where they have benefitted from VI Runners Bristol, the running group Colin set up in 2016 after he trained as a guide runner.
A founding member of the group is Chris Blackabee, who has been totally blind since the age of 12. With Colin as his guide, he has completed the Budapest Marathon and now wants to inspire others with sight loss to train for and run their first 10k in Bristol. "Running provides a total sense of freedom away from having to be focussed on navigating around your environment," Chris explains. "It's a fantastic way to boost your self-confidence and give you the belief that you can do anything you set your mind to."
Other members of the Bristol group have also signed up for the VI Runners 10K ChalThe VI runners taking part will not have their lenge and want to spread the word about sight disability categorised as they would do the benefits of running for others with sight if it were a championship race, but they will loss. be required to be tethered to a guide runner. Tracey Paling admits she became a virtual The move has been welcomed by the recluse after being registered blind and Mayor of Bristol, who will be one of the guide required some persuasion when Guide runners. "This is a fantastic first for the city," Dogs for the Blind suggested she try the VI says Marvin Rees. "I have had the honour Runners Bristol group four years ago. She of being a guide runner in the mass race credits it with turning her life around. for several years and hope that having a standalone race will encourage more people with sight loss in the city to train and feel confident about taking part. It should be a wonderful event." 18
“It’s a really friendly group of runners and guides. There is always someone who is available to guide at a time that works for you,” Holly says."I really enjoy being able to run outside, discover new places and keep fit." Tom Hill will be one of the guide runners for the VI Runners 10K Challenge. "Running with a guide might be the only source of exercise and social interaction for someone who is visually impaired," he explains. "I would thoroughly recommend becoming a guide runner - all you need is a pair of trainers and a smile!" Alaina MacGregor, Chief Executive of national disability sport organisation, British Blind Sport, who represent blind and partially sighted people in sport across the UK says, "We are delighted that Colin and Chris have taken up the initiative to provide a running event specifically for people living with sight loss.
"Mentally it's given me confidence to go away from home in the group and trust others to guide me," Tracy says. "I know in my heart that if I hadn't done this I might not be here today." Teresa Cryer was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa on her 36th birthday. "I was in complete shock," she says. At first, she had night blindness and then her peripheral vision deteriorated. Today she can only detect light and occasional shadows. She took up running after hearing about VI Runners Bristol through a friend. "My self-esteem suffered massively with my diagnosis and sight deterioration," she says. "Running helped me build my confidence and made me believe that things are achievable." Running she says, gives her purpose and a sense of freedom and at the age of 48, Teresa completed her first marathon, "something I would never have thought possible," she says, "even when I had sight." It was hearing about Teresa completing the London Marathon that got Holly Thomas involved. Holly has an eye condition called Sclerocornea, which makes her cornea opaque. She had tried running earlier but had struggled to find a guide. Joining VI Runners Bristol was transformational.
Now, more than ever, it is so important to enable people to return to sport, get active and importantly have the support of fantastic volunteers. It's a great idea to encourage the sight loss community to participate in a sport that can be for everyone, and we really hope to see the Great Run VI 10K Challenge being replicated across other towns and cities in the UK". The Great Run VI Runners 10K Challenge takes place in Bristol on Sunday 19th September ahead of the mass start for the Great Run Bristol 10k and Half Marathon events. "I have seen the difference that the simple act of running can make to the mental wellbeing and self- belief of someone who is blind or partially sighted," says VI Runners Bristol and VI Runners 10k Challenge founder Colin Johnson. "If this first official 10k race can go a small way to helping someone with impaired vision to get active, it will have been a race worth running."

New rainbow crossing to celebrate Bristol Pride A puffin crossing in Bristol is proudly celebrating the city’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and ace (LGBTQ+) community by displaying all the colours of the Pride Progress Flag. The crossing on Wine Street at the top of Union Street has had the iconic rainbow* painted across the ground this week as Bristol prepares to celebrate Pride, the annual celebration of LGBTQ+ people and rights that takes place each July. Mayor Marvin Rees said: “We are delighted to mark the start of Pride month with a rainbow crossing that will create a tribute to the LGBTQ+ community who bring so much diversity and vibrancy to our city. Bristol prides itself on being inclusive and we are committed to ensuring it is a safe space for everyone. Displaying the Pride rainbow flag in this busy city centre location will help us to declare that Bristol welcomes and champions LGBTQ+ people. I encourage everyone to get involved with Bristol Pride’s programme of events which provide us with the chance to come together, celebrate diversity, and take a positive stand against discrimination.” Although the planned march is unable to go ahead due to COVID-19 restrictions, Bristol Pride will feature a programme of events that will span two weeks from Saturday 3 July – Friday 16 July. The crossing is being delivered in time for the Pride celebration and will be in place for the foreseeable future.
Daryn Carter MBE, Bristol Pride, said: “We are so excited to have a rainbow crossing installed in Bristol as we launch this year’s Bristol Pride festival. The crossing will serve as a reminder that Bristol welcomes everyone and the city’s commitment to equality and we’re thankful to Bristol City Council for making this happen. “Visibility for the LGBT+ community is still an issue and the impact of Covid has meant we are all feeling isolated and disconnected from each other. It will be a positive, unmissable reminder to celebrate diversity in all its forms and for us all to step up and stand up against prejudice and hate, as we keep striving towards creating a better society for all.” The rainbow crossing uses all the colours from the Pride Progress Flag, but it was decided not to use the chevron. This is due to road safety concerns as it could be seen by pedestrians as an arrow, which could cause confusion. Cllr Helen Godwin, Cabinet Member for Families, Education and Women, said: “We want to send a message loud and clear that Bristol is a safe and welcoming place for LGBTQ+ people. I am pleased that we have been able to deliver the rainbow crossing in time for the Pride celebration, which will serve as a colourful and meaningful feature for the city centre.” Bristol City Hall will also be flying the rainbow flag and the building will be lit up with the colours of the rainbow during the Pride festival period.

Latest phase of major new housing development for North Yate gets green light The latest phase of Ladden Garden Village, a major new development delivering hundreds of much-needed new homes for North Yate, has been given the go ahead by planners. Leading housebuilder Barratt Homes submitted plans to South Gloucestershire Council for 183 new homes including 69 affordable homes, equating to over 35%, to be created as part of phase four of Ladden Garden Village. This phase will include a range of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes that will form part of this growing community. More than 270 of the Barratt Homes built in the first phases are now occupied. Set within 32 acres of open space, Ladden Garden Village is an already established community which will include a primary school, nursery and shop when complete. There will also be four acres of new play areas, sports pitches and 4.5 km of footpaths and cycleways. Barratt Developments is also contributing £1.89 million towards a community centre currently being progressed by South Gloucestershire Council. This will include public outdoor space and be suitable for a range of uses from cultural and sports events and classes to youth services and a café. 26
A flythrough of the second phase of the development can be seen here. The new homes in this latest phase of the development will be timber-framed, with elements built using innovative off-site construction methods. Precision-cut in advance, the frame is then brought to the construction site, offering many advantages including faster, more efficient building of homes, as well as sustainability benefits including a low carbon build process and responsibly sourced timber, minimising deforestation. Andrea Pilgrim, sales director at Barratt Homes' Bristol division, which covers the wider region, said: "We are delighted to be able to go ahead with the plans for our latest phase of development at Ladden Garden Village, which has already proven to be a very popular new neighbourhood among a range of different types of buyers from families to downsizers to young professionals. It's great to see this community expanding and coming into its own as more and more people move in, with this latest planning milestone paving the way for the delivery of many more much-needed new homes for Yate." Construction on Barratt Homes' phase four of Ladden Garden Village is due to start next year.

New right to repair law kicks in today!
From today 1st July, manufacturers are legally obliged to make spare parts for products available to consumers, so that electrical appliances such as fridges and televisions can be fixed easily Fridges, washing machines and televisions will be cheaper to run, easier to repair and will last longer under new energy efficiency rules that come into force today. A new ‘right to repair’ law on electrical products will tackle ‘premature obsolescence’ – a short lifespan deliberately built into an appliance by manufacturers which leads to unnecessary and costly replacements for the consumer.
The rules follow on from new energy labels that were introduced on March 1 to help consumers find out the electrical efficiency of their appliance. The latest labels display energy efficiency on a new scale from A-G rather than the old A+, A++ or A+++. The new labels improved the old system by raising the bar for each class, meaning very few appliances are now classified as A. Minister of state for energy, Anne Marie Trevelyan, said: in a online statement “The tougher standards coming in today will ensure more of our electrical goods can be fixed rather than have to be thrown away when they stop working, putting more money back in the pockets of consumers, as we build back greener. “Our new energy efficiency framework will mean electrical products use even less energy and perform just as efficiently, saving people money on their bills and reducing carbon emissions as we work to reach net zero by 2050.” Head of resource policy at Green Alliance, Libby Peake, said in an online statement that the new regulations “represent a small, first step towards giving people the long-lasting repairable products they want”. However, she said it was not accurate to say the new rules create a “legal right to repair”.
The measures mean manufacturers are now legally obliged to make spare parts for products available to consumers for the first time so that electrical appliances can be fixed easily.
“The government hasn’t given consumers any such right, as the spare parts and repairability criteria are only directed at professional repairers, not at the people who own products,” she said.
It means anyone buying white goods or TVs in shops or online can rest assured that if anything breaks outside of their warranty that spare parts will be available for them to get the appliance repaired.
“There is also no guarantee that spare parts and repair services will be affordable, so considerable barriers remain to making this the easiest, default option,” she added.
The change tackles the 1.5million tonnes of electrical waste generated in the UK every year, by extending the lifespan of products by up to 10 years. The government estimates it will also save the average consumer £75 a year on energy bills. 28
Crucially, it means consumers will now have more choice - and an option towards a cheaper remedy. What is the law change? Consumers have been complaining about the quality of white goods for decades. People claim they don’t last long enough and cannot be repaired cheaply at home.
In many cases, a new appliance can offer ‘better value’ compared to paying to repair an old one. But from today 1st July, manufacturers will be legally obliged to make spare parts for products available to consumers. Appliances such as fridges, washing machines and TVs should, in theory, last longer and be cheaper to run as a result. Manufacturers will have to make sure that appliances like washing machines, fridges and other white goods last for up to 10 years. It also applies to things like lighting and televisions – but not your smart phones or other tech devices. So in plain English, the items shouldn't pack in within these times – and if they do, you have a right to repair. On the right is the items the new rules apply to:
Refrigerators Washing machines Dishwashers Electronic displays (including televisions) Light sources and separate control gears External power suppliers Electric motors Refrigerators with a direct sales function (e.g. fridges in supermarkets, vending machines for cold drinks) Power transformers Welding equipment
Those who are out of this period will most likely need to pay a professional or the manufacturer itself to fix the item. In the past, the sheer complexity of repairing these goods meant that it was often more cost-effective to buy a new one. Now, you may be able to save hundreds by simply fixing the broken part instead. Even with repair fees, this could work out cheaper than buying an entirely new product.

MEMORIAL WOOODLANDS SERVICE UNDER COVID RESTRICTIONS The annual Military Service of Remembrance was held at Bristol Memorial Woodlands with numbers strictly limited to comply with Covid regulations. The service was led by Padre Maj. Andy Latifa with military representatives marching to the memorial within the woodlands to lay wreaths and remember the men and women who lost their lives in the service of their country. Mrs Peaches Golding, in her role as Honorary Captain of the Royal Naval Reserve, read a psalm and two buglers sounded the Last Post at the ceremony with under 30 guests gathering under the trees for a socially distanced event. Last year’s event was cancelled but a wreath was laid by Memorial Woodlands owner Christopher Baker on VE Day and manager Davie Rae on VJ Day as guests were not permitted. Bristol Memorial Woodlands, near Alveston, South Gloucestershire is open every day for people to visit, walk and enjoy quiet contemplation. 32

Dogtanian And The Three Muskehounds As a deadly virus ravages the world, Dr. Martin Lowery embarks on a mission to reach test site ATU327A, a research hub deep in the Arboreal Forest. The arduous journey, guided by park scout Alma, is set back by a nighttime attack that leaves the two bruised and shoeless. When they run into Zach, a man living off the grid, they gratefully accept his help. Zach’s intentions aren’t exactly what they seem, however, and a path out of the forest and into safety quickly fades as the line between myth and science blurs.

Six new laws drivers must know or they could be slapped with a £1,000 fine.
Theses are the rules that have been updated, changed or introduced over the last year Drivers are being warned they are likely to be hit with a significant fine or points on their licence if they're not aware of new driving laws. The rules that have been updated or instated over the last year while the country has been under various restrictions brought on by the pandemic.
1. Stricter phone penalties Using a mobile phone behind the wheel has long been illegal, but updates to the law this year have seen a legal loophole sealed. People were able to avoid prosecution when taking photos or videos when driving, but penalties for those caught have been introduced.
People using their mobile phone behind the wheel face double the number of points and a Now, any driver caught holding their phone or bigger fine than they would before the satnav whilst driving could receive a £200 fine pandemic hit. and six points on their licence.

3. Clean Air Zones Throughout 2021, major UK cities with high emissions will see the introduction of ‘Clean Air Zones’, which champion electric and low-emission vehicles.
These checks include under-inflated tyres, contaminated brake fluid and brake pad warning lights. Newer cars will also have their reversing lights and daytime running lights checked.
Driving without a valid MOT certificate could This means that there will be a daily charge to see road users fined up to £1,000. drive in certain areas when behind the wheel of less eco-friendly transport. 5. Driving in the EU One of the first city to see these changes was Bath. Non-green motorists will have to pay £8 per day to drive anywhere within the clean air zone.
Everyone is stuck inside at currently, so this European rule might not be needed just yet, but it is well worth remembering before we get back to holidays and road trips.
Throughout the year,Bristol, Oxford and Leeds will also start introducing charges. The idea has been discussed in Blackpool - but is not thought to be considered viable at present.
Post-Brexit, there are number of differences to the way British people can drive in the EU. From now on, everyone will need a green card, their logbook, and a GB sticker on their number plate.
4. MOT changes During the height of the pandemic, vehicles requiring an MOT certificate could get a six-month extension. This precedent has since ended, so all vehicles due an MOT will need them going forward. There were updates to the MOT defect categories in 2020 and a variety of new vehicle checks were added.
The card will prove the vehicle is fully insured and drivers can obtain them through their insurance provider. 6. Green plates Owners of electric and zero-emission vehicles can now purchase the brand-new green number plates. This is an initiative designed to help promote green vehicles by making them more visible to others on the road and those with these plates will be given special privileges, such as access to cheaper parking and free entry into Low-Emission Zones and Clean Air Zones. 39
Supply of cars likely to become restricted due to chip shortage The supply of cars for sale is likely to be restricted later this year as a result of the global shortage of semiconductor chips, a g motor dealership has warned. Pendragon, which trades under brands including Evans Halshaw is the latest to highlight how the shortage could soon filter through to consumer-facing businesses. In a trading update - in which it highlighted strong sales in May and June - Pendragon said that “the extent of the impact of the well-publicised semi-conductor chip shortage is not yet clear”. But the group added in an online statement:: “It is becoming increasingly apparent there is likely to be some restriction of supply during the second-half of FY21 [full-year 2021], with vehicle order times already being extended.”
Earlier this month, the UK’s Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the shortage was hampering the industry’s recovery from the coronavirus crisis, with UK car production in May more than 50% lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Now, consumer-facing car businesses are starting to feel the pinch too. Last week, another car dealer, said a tightening of vehicle supply due to previously-flagged component shortages was "increasingly apparent". They added: "The expected time between order and delivery of new vehicles to customers for certain of the group's franchises is now seeing elongation."
They also highlighted supply constraints and pent-up demand in the used car market.
Earlier this month,another dealership highlighted uncertainty over "issues relating to supply due to shortages of semiconductors".
Car makers across the UK from Jaguar Land Rover to Ford have been grappling with a lack of supply of semiconductor chips for months, prompting temporary shutdowns and reduced output.
Also Another rival, said in an update this week - without mentioning the chip shortage that restricted supply of new and used vehicles had been "tightening in recent weeks".

REAL PRIDE IN HELPING PEOPLE HAVE BABIES A nurse who experienced first-hand the joy of a baby born through IVF is taking the opportunity during this year’s Bristol Pride Festival (3-16 July) to raise awareness among the LGBT+ community of the fertility opportunities open to them in Bristol. New mum, Jess Abel, now works on the team that recruits egg donors at Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine (BCRM), having taken on her new role as assistant nurse practitioner for egg donation in May, just over a year after she and partner Kirsty welcomed their daughter Nora into the world. “We only have Nora thanks to the team I now work with,” said Jess Abel. “And our experience as a couple at BCRM was one of inclusivity from the word ‘go.’ “To start with we found out what was involved by attending one of BCRM’s lesbian open evenings. “We thought this was a much better option than sitting through the same talks as heterosexual couples because as a same sex couple we knew we’d have different questions. “It also meant we didn’t have to worry about feeling judged and that we could ask everything we wanted to without being self-conscious. “Everyone was really welcoming, and we were so excited afterwards and knew that having an IVF baby with BCRM was what we wanted to do.” For many lesbian couples the journey to parenthood is through intra-couple donation, where the eggs of one lesbian partner are fertilised in vitro and then implanted in the other who carries the baby to term. 44
Jess said: “This procedure is becoming increasingly common, mainly because of the heightened level of involvement it gives both partners in a lesbian relationship. “We are currently getting a lot of same sex couples at the clinic and I would really encourage anyone in the LGBT+ community who is considering assisted parenthood to get in touch and find out more.” Another service offered at BCRM is transgender sperm freezing, which is now available on the NHS. This gives a person who is transitioning the opportunity to preserve their fertility so that when they are ready to parent a child that sperm can be used to create a baby. “It’s a question of helping these patients keep their options open,” said embryologist Jen Nisbett. “We are very mindful at BCRM of the range of parenting possibilities which exist. There is no pigeon-holing here, and no boxing-in of patients to fit a particular category. Their needs are what drives our service. “We encourage all who might need our help to get in touch and find out what avenues are available to them.
“Part of the agenda of the regional Pride celebrations is to help increase society’s awareness of the issues faced by members of the LGBT+ community - of which assisted parenthood is one.” “At the end of the day, what our work is about is supporting anyone who needs our help to achieve their dream of parenthood.” BCRM is involved in innovative research and has one of the best success rates with IVF and other fertility treatments in the UK.
