More Scots living in poverty
Highest rate in Glasgow Poverty in Scotland has risen by 110,000 in one year, according to Scottish Government figures. To visit our new website just scan the QR code with your phone
The statistics show that 820,000 people across the country are living in poverty, and if you include housing costs, it mounts up to a staggering one million people living below the breadline.
The households that have been affected the most are families living with children.
The report found that 19 per cent of children were living in relative poverty in 2012/13. This shows that in Scotland, one of the richest countries in the world, 180,000 children are living in poverty. It was also revealed by the Scottish Government that the latest increase in child poverty has been caused by fall in incomes for working families with
children. The reduced entitlement to tax credits has also affected incomes for those with lower earnings. Glasgow, it seems, has been hit the hardest. According to Understanding Glasgow, Glasgow remains the most deprived city in Scotland. By

TVWEEK Johnjo falls foul of the T
here are just a handful of writers working in British TV whose name makes viewers sit up and take notice. Arguably at the front of that list is Jimmy McGovern, who began his small screen career by penning episodes of Brookside, which was set in his home city of Liverpool. Since then he’s won numerous plaudits for such acclaimed programmes as Cracker, The Lakes, The Street, Hillsborough, Sunday and Accused. Now McGovern is back with Common (Sunday, BBC1, 9pm), a one-off, feature-length drama that is sure provoke plenty of chat around watercoolers across the nation – and may even spark further debate in more lofty settings. Like
much of his previous work, it’s set in the north west of England.At the centre of the tale is Common Purpose, a 300-year-old legal doctrine that allows several people to be charged with a crime where they are not the primary offenders. It has been increasingly used in the last 10 years to tackle crimes, often murder, which are deemed to be gang-related. “Joint Enterprise was first used in Britain's courts a few hundred years ago,” explains McGovern. “It was designed to stop the aristocracy duelling. If one duelist killed another then all involved in that duel (the seconds and the surgeons) were charged with murder. It worked. mBritain's aristocrats stopped duelling.

talking to the families of those directly affected by the joint enterprise law. “We believe it is right for the BBC to give writers such as Jimmy an opportunity to tell a story like this, and to allow the audience to make up their own minds about it.” The Village star Mirallegro heads the cast as 17-year-old Johnjo, who gives his cousin and some mates a lift, supposedly so they can get a pizza.They’re actually going to confront somebody they’ve had an argument with – and in the ensuing melee, an innocent bystander is killed.

“Now the law is being used against Britain's youth. If someone dies in a fight and you're involved in any way whatsoever, you could find yourself charged with murder. And, if you do, Heaven help you because the burden of proof required in joint enterprise cases is frighteningly low.” mThe BBC’s controller of drama commissioning, Ben Stephenson, adds: “Common is an ambitious and controversial film.

4th July - 11th July 2014 | Glasgow News 3
www.glasgow-news.com Continued from front page A study carried out by the project found that in 2011, almost half of Glasgow’s residents - 283,000 people - live in the 20% of most deprived areas in Scotland. It was also revealed that over 36,000 children in Glasgow were estimated to be living in poverty in 2012. This works out as 33% of all children in Glasgow, compared to 26% in Dundee, 18% in Edinburgh and 16% in Aberdeen. Another key finding was the differences in poverty levels across different areas of Glasgow. The distribution of child poverty varies dramatically across the city. More than 55% of children in some neighbourhoods live in child poverty compared to less than 10% in other parts of the city.
The consequences that poverty has had on Glaswegians is shocking. People living in the city are at risk of being a victim of what has been described as the ‘Glasgow Effect’. This term came around after it was recently revealed that babies born in Glasgow have the lowest life expectancy of any child in Britain and a quarter of Glaswegian men won’t reach their 65th birthday. Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “Scotland is one of the richest counties in the world and there is no reason for children to be living in poverty in our society. “The fact is that the reduction in poverty seen in recent years is now being reversed. Westminster welfare reforms, such as the reduction in inwork tax credits, are reducing incomes for some of our poorest households.
“The Scottish Government has focused on doing everything we can to mitigate the harmful effects of Westminster welfare cuts - and we will continue to do so – but the impact is still being felt by the most vulnerable in our society. What is even more worrying is that 70 per cent of the welfare cuts are still to come – Scotland will see its welfare budget reduced by over £6 billion by 2015/16. And some estimates suggest that up to 100,000 more children could be living in poverty by 2020 if we continue with Westminster policies.
New Delhi Flag Handover display launched at Riverside Museum
“In other words, the unacceptable increase in the number of children living in poverty revealed by today’s statistics could be just the tip of the iceberg.”
George Square bus gate rakes in £14,000 as new ban takes force
In the run up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Glasgow Life has launched a new display at the Riverside Museum, celebrating Glasgow’s part in the Closing Ceremony of the Games in Delhi in 2010. The handover of the Commonwealth Games Flag marked the beginning of the city’s journey toward hosting the Games and the Opening Ceremony of July 23rd. More than 300 volunteer performers from all 32 of Scotland’s local authorities took part in the flag handover ceremony. The day after the Closing Ceremony, the Times of India said “Glasgow steals the show”, as the performers made their way home. The Road from Dehli also explores the common links between Delhi and Glasgow and celebrates cultures and associations between both cities.
Drivers travelling through George Square were hit with an unexpected fine on Monday as the bus gate introduced to motorists last month came into full effect. Councillors introduced the pilot scheme with the ambition of cutting traffic congestion, boosting air quality and also lowering the amount of accidents in George Square and the surrounding area. Around 1250 drivers and 800 buses use the junction every weekday and it leads to George Square becoming incredibly congested, especially at peak times during the day. Drivers had been pre warned that the bus gate would be fully functional in the near future and alternate routes would be necessary to avoid paying fines.
The only people exempt from the ban are buses, taxis, private cabs and cyclists, while the bus gate will be in service between 7am and 7pm and Glasgow City Council are hoping that by introducing this new bus gate system they will be able to curb the amount of vehicles in the city centre by 70% per cent. The gate which was introduced at the junction of Nelson Mandela Place and West Nile Street incorporates warning signs and lights to create awareness among motorists, that they are entering into a prohibited area. A council spokesman said that the bus gate had been up for three weeks without charging motorists for driving through it, to allow time for them to find new routes to their destination.
A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said “we’re now enforcing any contraventions of the bus gate between 7am-7pm and drivers breaking the law will be fined. “There are very clear and constant reminders of the law in the form of signage and road markings at, and on the approaches to, the bus gate. “Bus lane and gate enforcement in the city is improving the flow of traffic on congested stretches as well as improving the reliability of bus journeys.” If the fines are paid within 14 days the £60 total is halved and if the fines are not paid within the first two weeks, council bosses will be looking at an even greater cash windfall.

This display is set in both the recent past and the present. It takes the Delhi Flag Handover ceremony as its starting point to offer a timely reminder of the moment when the cultures of Northern India and Scotland met and Glasgow’s dream of hosting the Games turned into a reality. To evoke the present and maximise anticipation for the 2014 Games, the display also highlights aspects of Glasgow ‘now’ and seeks
to capture a sense of the city today with 2014 as the primary backdrop. The colourful display will feature costumes from the Closing Ceremony designed by Glasgow artist and textiles designer, Jilli Blackwood and cycling objects from members of the 2010 Scotland squad including the track bike and skin suit used at Delhi by John Paul (the youngest Scot to represent his country in cycling). John Paul will be competing at Glasgow 2014 as part of Team Scotland’s track cycling team. While the Queen’s Baton Relay nears the end of its 118,000 mile journey, the display features a prototype of the Baton, which was designed and fabricated in Glasgow, using a 3- D printer and is accurate in every detail – even to the rolled up message from the Queen. Councillor Archie Graham, the Chair of Glasgow Life and Executive Member for the Commonwealth Games said: “This display reflects on an event of the recent past, some 4000 miles away, which would change the face – and landscape – of Glasgow. The Delhi Flag Handover of 14th October 2010 symbolised the meeting of cultures of Scotland and Northern India. It also made the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games more real and within reach – and no longer a distant dream.”
Jobs for Glasgow’s East End youths Unemployed young people in Glasgow’s East End have been offered the chance to join an employment scheme during the Commonwealth Games. The project offers work experience by giving them the chance to work at the Glasgow Fort shopping park during the Games. It is available for 32 young people from school leavers to 24-year-olds. It came around this week when the owners of the Fort, British Land, backed the scheme and donated £20,000 to Jobs and Business Glasgow. Agency chairman Bailie Jonathan Findlay said: “This pilot programme
builds upon the buzz this summer will bring to the city. “It offers a significant and tangible benefit to local young people who are work ready but simply need an opportunity to help them take that next step into employment, education or training.” The Fort manager Phil Goodman said: “This is a very exciting summer in Glasgow, particularly in the East End. “It represents a fantastic opportunity to deliver a real legacy for young unemployed people in the local area.” By

NHS aim Glasgow Bike Scheme a Decathlon opened at to tackle success as 1200 sign up Braehead creating Glasgow’s 60 jobs alcohol problems A new Decathlon store has opened in Breahead this week, creating 60 jobs.
The new Glasgow bike hire scheme has resulted in almost 1200 people signing up, resulting in it being a huge success so far. Almost 1000 people have used the bikes since the launch of the £600,000 Nextbike scheme last week.
A health expert has been brought in to help fight alcohol problems occuring in Glasgow. Sarah Graham will bring expert health advice for new alcohol licenses. NHS data reveals that an estimated 13,500 adults living in Glasgow have a serious alcohol misuse problem. In a typical year, there are roughly 8500 hospital admissions of patients under the influence of alcohol. Sarah Graham previously worked as an addictions officer for children and families social services team in East Ayrshire so has seen the impact alcohol can have.
The average length of hire has been 80 minutes and the longest journey so far has been to Loch Lomond and back. Four hundred bikes are available for hire at 31 permanent locations across the city. Cycling has become increasingly popular in Glasgow with the recently opened Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome now the busiest of its kind worldwide.
Council Leader Gordon Matheson said: “The people of Glasgow have already embraced the bike scheme. “The bikes are being seen all over the city - as far away as Loch Lomond in fact - and are being used by commuters, students, businessmen and visitors. “Already, Glasgow’s is the biggest bike scheme in the UK outside of London and I am sure it will only continue to grow in popularity.” If you are interested in hiring a bike, you can register through the website www.nextbike.co.uk/ en/glasgow by your smartphone, landline or computer.

Forty-year-old man dies playing football
Sarah said: “My role involved assessing the impact of drug and alcohol use on an individual’s capacity to parent their children. I witnessed the issues alcohol and drug use caused for families and their communities.
The French sports chain opened 38,000 sq ft store on Thursday. There is also a seven-a side grassed pitch, multi sports court and kids play area, all of which are open to the local community with free hire of equipment from the store. Store manager Amaury Wicquart said: ‘There is really no other store like this in Scotland, and we are delighted to bring employment to the area.
“Decathlon is all about engaging with families as our mission is to bring the fun and benefits of sport to everyone in the local community. “We want to be more than just a retailer. We want to play an active part in our community and that is why we have created our outside areas...
A man has been subjected to a brutal attack which resulted in his death, in his Glasgow home, according to police.
The man, identified as Alan Whitelaw, was found in his flat in Glenfinnan Road, in the Maryhill area, shortly after midnight. It has been reported that there was a disturbance outside his tenth floor flat, earlier on Tuesday evening. A murder inquiry has been launched by police, and they have appealed to anyone with any information to contact them.
Boxing promoter sentence squashed
Det Insp Fil Capaldi, of Police Scotland Major Investigation Teams, said: “Mr Whitelaw suffered a brutal and sustained violent attack.
The 35-year-old had admitted illegally obtaining £1.2m for two mortgages and laundering £150,000. Appeal court judges decided to set aside his jail sentence after hearing nobody lost any money as a consequence of his actions. He was allowed to leave jail temporarily after judges granted him interim liberation following the hearing earlier this year.
A 40-year-old man has died after playing football at a sports centre in Glasgow on Monday. He was playing a game of five-a-side football at the Firhill Complex near Garscube Road, when witnesses said he collapsed on the pitch. Staff at the complex attempted to save him until paramedics arrived and rushed him to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The centre manager, Gavin Duncan said the man, who is still to be named, was part of a group who were regulars
and booked often. He said: “It’s a tragic incident and we would like to pass on our condolences to his family. “Everything that could have been done with what was available was done.” A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “We sent a paramedic and an ambulance at 8.30pm to attend to a 40-year-old male who was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary.” By

“We’ve also been working with the Street League football charity to give some of its youngsters a taste of working life and they’ll also benefit from the use of our sports courts.” Decathlon has two other Scottish stores, opposite The Fort in Glasgow, and at Hermiston Gait Retail Park, Edinburgh. The company has more than 700 stores across 24 countries, 16 of which are in the UK. By

Murder Inquiry into Maryhill flat murder
“There is a massive health impact from alcohol and massive health inequality for Glasgow.”
Scottish boxing promoter Barry Hughes has had his 43-month jail sentence for mortgage fraud and money laundering quashed. He has been fined £45,000.
We will be playing football and also offering athletics, archery, badminton and basketball to let people try out lots of new sports.
“I have no doubt that someone in the block of flats would have heard the disturbance take place and more than likely saw someone leave either the floor or the flats in a hurry, possibly dishevelled or with blood on them. “From our investigations so far, we know that there was a disturbance outside Mr Whitelaw’s flat between 18:00 and 19:00. Whether this had progressed into his flat or whether a further attack took place later in the evening, has still to be established.” By

Bella Napoli Putting Gold Pizza on the Menu
To help inspire Team Scotland to go for gold in the Commonwealth Games, master chef and artist Domenico Crolla, proprietor of Bella Napoli, has built the world’s first gold pizza oven and, for the duration of the Games, has introduced edible gold leaf as an extra special ingredient on many of the dishes on his menu. “Pizza looks cool with gold on top;
but other dishes, like the humble lasagne, also look great with a top layer of edible gold leaf, especially when it come piping hot from a gold oven!” he said. “In a world where excess is sometimes frowned upon, I’ll donate the cost of the gold leaf to Glasgow City Mission. My hope is that, by going for gold, Bella Napoli will help inspire our athletes to win gold medals at the Commonwealth Games.” Bella Napoli’s menu features a range of classic Italian dishes with a modern twist; from its tempting appetisers to its extensive pizza and pasta ranges,

26 year old Davis carried out a “brutal and sustained assault” on Ms North, leaving the 19 year old dying on the floor of his flat for nearly 18 hours, before she was fatally injured. Doctors found that Hazel had suffered fatal damage to her liver and abdomen and in particular because of the liver damage, would have bled very rapidly, succumbing to her injuries increasingly quick.
Upon searching the flat occupied by Davis, they found no traces of Hazel, but discovered a mud spattered spade
For three weeks police searched for Hazel North hoping that she was alive and well, at the time there were various reports and sightings of her, it turned out that John Davis had murdered and buried her body in woodland two streets away from where he lived and hidden the fact for three weeks.

Glasgow High Court heard that Davis had boasted of the attack on his 19 year old girlfriend saying to friend James Christie “I done her in and buried her.” Before sentencing the court also found out that the accused had recently spent time in custody, serving a prison sentence after carrying out an unprovoked horrific attack on 30 year old Richard Buggs leaving the victime partially blind in one eye..
Ms North’s family had packed out the courtroom to hear details of her death and the details in which police had found Hazel’s body. The last time Hazel’s family had spoken to her parents was 28th February which tragically was also the last day she was seen.
Detectives had spent the entire time searching for Hazel, while also searching for boyfriend John Davis but could not locate him. Eventually he walked into Kilmarnock Police Station and said to officers “Hazel is dead, and I’ll show you where she is.”
Davis admitted that he has had a hard time coming to terms with his actions and said to police after guiding them to Hazel’s buried body, “This is helping me I realise what I did was wrong and I’ll face the music from here.” After disposing of the body, Davis ran away, but his conscience finally led him to admit his wrongdoing.

NHS urge women to contact midwife at beginning of pregnancy NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) have launched a new central booking line to encourage women in Inverclyde to make an appointment with their midwife as soon as they discover they are pregnant.
The new service is part of a national drive to promote the best start for pregnant women and their babies. NHSGG’s call centre is based at the Southern General Hospital and the number is 0141 232 4005. All mothers-to-be, even those who have children already, are being urged to book into their local maternity services by the 12th week of their pregnancy. At this key stage midwives can ensure the best long-term care is being provided for mum and baby by assessing the mother’s health needs and provided support around eating well, exercise, dental care, smoking, drinking and housing.
The first two trimesters following conception are critical, when the foetus is most vulnerable to damage caused by tobacco, drugs and alcohol, maternal stress and poor nutrition. Michelle McLauchlan, General Manager, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, said: “We want to emphasise to women across NHSGGC that they can make their first midwife appointment as soon as they know they are pregnant. “And earlier booking provides more time for improvement of health behaviours, including reducing smoking cessation rates, substance and alcohol misuse, and increasing breast feeding rates.

Award for schools smiles better slogan
Access to services and Treat (HEAT) target of at least 80 per cent of women in each of the SIMD quintiles. When women make a call they will be given an appointment with a named midwife, a scan slot, and an SCI Gateway information request will be sent to the GP with details of the two appointments asking for medical history to be provided in advance of the booking appointment. As far as possible, women will be offered appointments close to the GP, and their local hospital, to ensure improved continuity of care.
“All of this will have a positive impact on long-term public health.”
There will be some exceptions, for example if the GP considers that a woman needs to be seen very early or should be seen first by an obstetrician, the usual SCI referral process can be followed.
The move is part of wider changes to provide smoother and quicker access to maternity services and achieve the antenatal Heat improvement Efficiency
Leaflets and posters promoting the booking line have been distributed in health and community settings, and are available in different languages.

Children from all over Glasgow and Clyde have something to smile about after taking part in this year’s competition for NHSGGC’s Sparkling Star awards for National Smile Month. Primary three pupils in schools from all over Greater Glasgow and Clyde have been taking part in the competition which asked youngsters to come up with an oral health slogan with a Commonwealth Games theme. The pupils had a month from the middle of May until the middle of June to think about the message which would encourage them to look after their teeth. Youngsters from Braehead Primary in West Dunbartonshire were crowned victorious on Monday 23 June after coming up with the slogan - “Our School’s Smiles are Gold Medal Winners because we go the extra mile to get the perfect smile.” The class were presented with their Sparkling Star trophy and received a Commonwealth Games ‘Clyde’ Mascot. All participating schools will receive certificates.
Anne Muir, Operational Services Manager for NHSGGC, said: “Well done to everyone who took part in our competition this year and special congratulations to Braehead Primary School. Their slogan really captured this year’s theme. “It is so important that children learn about looking after their teeth and gums at a young age. By running this competition in schools we make it fun for children while also getting the messages through about good oral health. “We run this competition each year and it gets a fantastic response from teachers and pupils who all seem to enjoy the creative aspect. With the Commonwealth Games coming to Glasgow this year, we thought it was the ideal opportunity to tie in with the excitement of the Games.” National Smile Month is the UK’s largest and longest-running oral health campaign. It is organised by the oral health charity the British Dental Health Foundation. The campaign aims to raise awareness of important health issues and make a positive difference to the oral health of millions of people throughout the UK.

Communities now able to Glasgow finance claim climate funding workers face job threat Staff at Ignis Asset Management in Glasgow are facing being made redundant after Standard Life Investments (SLI) confirmed taking over the company, offering no guarantee on jobs.
Community groups planning environmental projects are being offered support as part of plans for Glasgow’s Green Year 2015 celebrations. Glasgow is currently planning a year of events and projects designed to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage more people to do their bit to combat climate change and cut carbon emissions. Community groups interested in helping develop the Green Year 2015 programme are urged to get in touch. Glasgow City Council is offering to
support groups to develop, deliver and promote their green activities with the opportunity to apply for funding from Keep Scotland Beautiful’s Climate Challenge Fund. Plans for Glasgow’s Green Year come after the city bid to become European Green Capital in 2013. The city was named as a finalist and its bid was praised by the panel of judges. Now the city plans to hold a year of events celebrating the city’s green credentials and highlighting ways in which individuals, community groups, housing associations and businesses can help make Glasgow one of the greenest cities in Europe.
Bailie Liz Cameron, Chair of Green Year 2015, said: “This is a great opportunity for communities to get involved in the Green Year celebrations. We’d like to hear from people if they have an idea for a green event or project. “We can offer advice and support on staging your event and connect your group with other relevant organisations and resources. It is an opportunity to plug in to a citywide, year long calendar of activities showcasing the superb work being done in communities to highlight environmental issues, promote sustainability and tackle climate change.”
Around 250 Glasgow workers are at risk of losing their jobs. Standard Life said there was a possibility the Ignis Glasgow office would close. It has been revealed that eight staff have left Ignis after talks about the future of the firm following the £390m takeover. A statement said: “It is inevitable that in a transaction of this nature job losses will form a part of that, but we will be doing all we can to mitigate their impact on individuals. “The vast majority of Ignis people remain in post on July 1 and there will be no immediate changes to the products and services provided by Ignis. We have identified cost savings
in excess of £50m by the third full year of ownership. “At this point there is no planned closure of either the Glasgow or the London office of Ignis, however in the longer term our UK estate strategy will be predominantly focused on Edinburgh and London.” An SLI spokeswoman added: “We would emphasise that Standard Life Investments is a growing business. We have created nearly 300 jobs in the last five years and are confident we will create more in future and currently have 130 vacancies. “We will speak first to our people and potential colleagues in advance of anything further being disclosed but our focus is on continuing to grow our business and redeploying talent wherever we can.” By

Virgin Media to stage Race Bolt event in Glasgow during Commonwealth Games
4th July - 11th July 2014 | Glasgow News 9
Hit the Net against Malaria
Virgin Media is giving consumers the chance to test their running legs against Olympic 100m champion Usain Bolt this summer.
The broadband provider is organising the Race Bolt interactive event in Glasgow, to coincide with the staging of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Runners can test their legs on a professional-quality 30 metre athletics track, while the Jamaican sprinting legend competes against them on a three-metre tall LED screen. Infrared sensors will capture each runner’s height, size and technique, giving them an overall run time. Participants’ names and times will then be added to an overall leader board, which will be updated each day throughout the Commonwealth Games. Usain Bolt noted that people come up to him every day looking for a race. “We’ve answered the call, and my fans
now have a great opportunity to race me even if it’s against the big screen,” the athlete said. “Let’s see how fast you guys really are. I know I’m fast. How fast are you?” Luke Southern, Programme Director for Glasgow 2014 at Virgin Media, said Race Bolt is “the embodiment of Virgin Media”, since it champions speed and excellence. He said the broadband provider is “thrilled to be supercharging the Games” through the event during what
is set to be a “hugely exciting” week. “Usain is known for pacing himself at the start of his race before picking up speed after the 30-metre mark,” Mr Southern stated. “So there will definitely be a few contenders for that winning place on the podium.” Race Bolt will be positioned at the heart of Glasgow Green Live Zone - one of three outdoor festival locations during the Commonwealth Games - between July 24th and August 3rd.
A campaign has been launched to urge people to donate money for mosquito nets to help battle malaria in Commonwealth countries. The ‘Hit The Net’ project has been organised as part of the Commonwealth Games legacy. One of the groups are the Trades House of Glasgow, who are encouraging people to donate towards the purchase of mosquito nets for those affected by the disease. It is estimated that Malaria will kill up to one million people by the end of 2014. One child dies from malaria every 20 seconds and more than a million people are killed by the disease every year.
The project aims to have 2014 mosquito nets for new born babies, young children and pregnant women by the end of the Games and 10,000 by next year. Glasgow council’s deputy leader Archie Graham said: “The power of sport should never be underestimated, sport is being used to tackle a real problem throughout the Commonwealth. “Hit the net is a great idea and we can use sport to raise people’s awareness about problems throughout the Commonwealth caused by malaria.” Everyone who buys a net will get a special edition CD featuring a song by Scottish band Runrig.

ISIS militants declare Islamic Caliphate in Syria and Iraq By

Pistorius cited as ‘suicide risk’ as case resumes The trial of former Olympian Oscar Pistorius resumed this week after having been adjourned for a month while the athlete underwent psychological examination at a mental hospital outside Johannesburg. According to a report released by a psychologist that studied Mr Pistorius over the past month, he is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and could be a suicide risk. When the trial resumed it was revealed that psychologists concluded that he was not suffering from any sort of mental disorder when he shot Ms Steenkamp through the bathroom door of their home last year.
This week ISIS militants, who staged a military takeover of eastern areas of Syria and north western Iraq over the past number of weeks, declared that the areas under their control are now a Sunni Islamic caliphate and that the group has change the name of the regions under their control to The Islamic State. A caliphate is an Islamic institution in which a single individual is declared the spiritual leader of all Islam, in this instance, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has declared himself the leader of all Muslims worldwide and demands that their loyalty be pledged to the Caliph. The last Caliph held a mainly symbolic role under the Ottoman Empire until the role was dissolved in 1923 by the newly established Turkish Republic which emerged after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after World War 1. The declaration of a new caliphate in the territories controlled by ISIS in Syria and Iraq has been viewed as a political statement more so than a religious one, experts on the group have described the establishment of a caliphate as a signal to Al Qaeda that ISIS are now the leading Jihadist group in the region, retribution for Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri condemning the group. Since the announcement by ISIS of the establishment of the Islamic State, alZawahiri has described it as a state of ‘deviants and heretics’. After the establishment of the Islamic State, ISIS has ordered competing Sunni rebel groups in Iraq to swear
fealty to the Islamic State and hand in their weapons. A similar tactic as was implemented in the areas of Syria that ISIS controls previously, quelling any interference from competing rebel groups and using force and at times barbaric punishments such as crucifixion and beheading against individuals found to oppose ISIS in the areas under it’s control. Since the announcement of the new caliphate, al-Baghdadi, the self styled Caliph has called for Jihadists from across the globe to come to the new Islamic State to fight and build the state. al-Baghdadi spoke in an audio announcement released via one of ISIS’s websites saying: ‘Those who can immigrate to the Islamic State should immigrate, as immigration to the house of Islam is a duty. Rush O Muslims to your state. It is your state. Syria is not for Syrians and Iraq is not for Iraqis. The land is for the Muslims, all Muslims. This is my advice to you. If you hold to it you will conquer Rome and own the world, if Allah wills.’ It has been reported that ISIS is hiring hundreds of young men in the areas under their control for a sum of £290 a month, giving them a fortnight of military training followed by a fortnight of religious instruction before being sent to the front lines. The Iraqi government has begun retaliating against ISIS using newly acquired Russian fighter jets and assistance from American military advisors on the ground, the Iraqi forces have been repeatedly pushed back since ISIS began their assault on the country last month.
Mr Pistorius denies murder, claiming that he believed Ms Steenkamp was an intruder in his home. However the prosecution claims that the athlete shot Ms Steenkamp after the pair had a heated argument. Due to the psychiatric reports returned about Mr Pistorius’ mental
state at the time of the killing, the olympian will be held criminally responsible for his actions, meaning that he faces life imprisonment if
Princess Cristina of Spain files appeal in fraud case
Princess Cristina of Spain, sister to the newly appointed King Felipe, has lodged an appeal against charges of tax fraud and money laundering brought against her by the Spanish prosecution service. Princess Cristina is the first member of the Spanish royal family ever to stand trial in Spanish history. The Princess has been implicated in a tax fraud and money laundering
scheme, allegedly masterminded by her husband and his business partner, which used a charitable organization registered to Princess Cristina as a money laundering front, embezzling millions of Euros over the course of a decade. This recent scandal has attributed to a loss in confidence and trust by the Spanish people in their monarchy, resulting in increased support for the republican movement within Spain. By

ISP’s to sue GCHQ Several internet service providers from around the globe, have filed legal complaints against GCHQ, the UK’s intelligence agency after the agency openly admitted to intercepting data and practicing mass surveillance on the ISP’s networks.
The ISP’s are making the case that the intelligence agency infected their networks with ‘malicious software’ and illegally accessed the companies and their customers data. The ISP’s are filing their complaints against GCHQ through the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), the legal body which investigates and assesses complaints against the agencies activities and the veracity of claims where the surveillance agencies have disregarded privacy protection to an excessive degree without due cause. The majority of the IPT’s hearings are held at least partially in secret. Recently the IPT has received a number of complaints from a wide range of organizations in relation to GCHQ’s surveillance, including one case which will be heard later this month on the
legality of the agencies gathering of intelligence through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. In a document released by the agency two weeks ago, the agency justified the legality of their mass surveillance programmes by claiming that online traffic is often directed overseas and as such under current legislation is deemed ‘external communications’ and as such using GCHQ’s interpretation of the law can be surveilled and intercepted without a warrant. While following the letter of the law, this policy of unhindered surveillance violates the spirit of it, with many human rights and privacy groups calling for the law to be updated for
German princess fined £1000 after drunken rant at St. Andrews party A German princess has been fined £1000 after attempting to strip naked at an Oktoberfest party in St. Andrews and racially abused a first aider. Her Serene Highness Princess Theodora Sayn-Wittgenstein reportedly tried to take her clothes off before making racist remarks and assaulted a first aider. Dundee Sheriff Court heard this week how Sayn-Wittgenstein told first aider Farah Jasmin Hussain: “I was doing my nails this morning - I wondered how many Muslims I could kill.” The court heard that the princess had gone to St Andrews University, where she received a degree in international relations before working in Jordan. She returned for a reunion with friends and to attend the exclusive
Oktoberfest party held at Kinkell Byre every March. Fiscal depute Trina Sinclair told Dundee Sheriff Court that the accused was climbing rails and “drawing attention to herself.” The court heard how she started to remove her clothing and was eventually taken to the first aid room. After upsetting the first aider, who ran out the room in tears, the princess “stood on a chair and began to rant about her human rights.” After thrashing and attempting to strike other first aiders and members of the security team, the police were called. She was handcuffed and leg restraints were applied. Defence solicitor Douglas Williams said Sayn-Wittgenstein had “brought shame on herself and her family”.

It has emerged this week that a dossier of claims relating to a Westminster paedofile network in the 1980’s has been lost amid allegations that there was a government cover up of the allegations contained in the report. The report was produced by former MP Geoffrey Dickens in 1983 before being handed to Lord Britton who was home secretary at the time, Lord Britton claims that he passed the documents onto his staff and officials ‘as was standard procedure at the time’ and had no further dealings with the documents. When questioned about the documents last year, Lord Britton denied having any recollections about the files that were passed to him, however this claim was countermanded after a Home Office review case that discovered that Britton had in fact written a letter to Dickens in 1984 claiming that the

Cancer survivors trained to help cancer patients in Boosts Scottish Tourism Industry West of Scotland A team of cancer survivors in Glasgow have become Scotland’s first fully trained Macmillan Supporters.
Macmillan Supporters are volunteers who’ve either had a personal cancer experience or cared for someone with cancer. Each of our volunteers have completed comprehensive training quality assured by Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret University, to equip them with the skills and confidence to listen, support and provide advice to cancer patients. The new initiative is being delivered in partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and Queen Margaret University, and will provide cancer patients in the West of Scotland with the opportunity to meet with and talk on the phone to someone who’s been in their situation. Macmillan Supporters can talk through the serious issues that affect people living with cancer, such as
treatment or managing changes in appetite and body weight, as well as simply listening to what they might be feeling.
Macmillan Supporters will be matched with patients with a similar type of cancer as they had, to ensure that they’ll be able to provide insightful advice about approaching and dealing with a range of issues. Trisha Hatt, Macmillan Senior Development Manager, said: “Receiving a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment will be the toughest fight many people ever have to face. Having family, friends and health professionals around for support is essential, but we also know how speaking to someone who’s gone through the same experience is highly valued by those affected by cancer.” You can contact Macmillan Supporters on 0141 340 9223 or email them at Macmillan.

First ScotRail increases the Scottish tourism industry by £1.22billion each year, according to a new study.
The study, carried out by the Fraser of Allander Institute, revealed that company supports 37,721 jobs across Scotland. The transport company carried a total of 42 million passengers on leisure journeys throughout Scotland in 2012, and “more than 85million journeys” were taken here by train in the last year. Scenic routes in particular, boosted figures. The Fraser of Allander Institute, which is part of the University of Strathclyde, looked into detail the role ScotRail will play in forthcoming events such as the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup. ScotRail is an Official Supporter at Glasgow 2014, providing passenger rail services, which will, in turn, further boost
its economic impact on tourism. The transport company expects to provide 1.1 million rail trips to people attending the Commonwealth Games events in July and August. Tim O’Toole, chief executive of FirstGroup plc, said: “This report provides further evidence of First ScotRail’s importance to the Scottish economy and the country. Tourism matters and people should recognise that in the Scottish rail franchise we have a very high performing economic asset. We should not relent in making it better but also recognise the job our people are doing every day. “We are anticipating a busy summer ahead with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles; however it’s on occasions such as these that ScotRail can showcase its value.” Steve Montgomery, director of ScotRail,
managing described
Scotrail as “an essential part of the fabric of this country and a key driver of our economy.” He added: “The report outlines the scale of the contribution the company makes, not just in economic terms but also via the major advances we’ve made since taking over the franchise. That includes major investment in enhancing services and facilities across the country and the great strides we’ve made in areas such as our environmental performance and our community activities. “Clearly, our primary role is to deliver the best possible train service for our customers, connecting the communities we serve, and it’s pleasing to note that the extensive investment in people and technology we’ve made since 2004 is reflected in the significant performance improvements outlined in the report.” By

Gorbals Recycles Project up for National Lottery Award Gorbals Recycles Project is a community led Scottish charity founded in 2004. The two main aims of the Project are to divert as much domestic waste from landfill as possible while providing high quality services and products for sale to local people. The Project now boasts two retail outlets across the city, supports an average of fifty training and work experience placements per year and provides employment for nine people. The Project has been supported by lottery funding over the last four years but works hard to be sustainable, all income generated through sales and services goes back in to running the business.

Opening Times: Monday to Thursday - 10am to 5pm Friday - 10am to 4.30pm Saturday & Sunday - Closed
A local environmental project has been nominated for a National Lottery Award, making them the only charity from Glasgow in the UK within the environmental sector to be put up for it.
Gorbals Recycles started in 2004 and was established by a group of locals from the Gorbals who were fighting for household recycling bins to be put in place by their local council. Their aims gradually expanded and have been working on promoting recycling within their community ever since. The project opened its first shop in 2007, selling recycled household goods and clothing alongside refurbishing second hand bikes at low cost. Due to its great success, the charity was inundated with generous donations allowing it to expand significantly since then. The organisation holds two retail premises - Respoke Cycles and Lost and Found. Respoke cycles specialises in bicycle repairs and builds. Lost and Found, which recently opened up in Trongate, stocks a unique range of vintage and bespoke furniture as well as a wide range of clothing and household goods. The funding supports their new Train To Gain programme which provides training opportunities for those furthest removed from the labour market and will run until May 2015. Moyra Morrison, Manager of Gorbals Recycles said: “Gorbals Recycles Project in Glasgow have diverted thousands of tonnes of domestic waste
over its last seven years of operation. Collecting donations from local households and business, we reuse and recycle by providing low cost goods to individuals and families on low incomes. “With the help of National Lottery funding we also provide structured volunteer training placements across all areas of the Project to people needing support in entering employment or further education. Individuals are able to access free certificated training, vocational work placements and intensive one to one support in employability.” For more information go to www.gorbalsrecycles.co.uk or to vote directly for this worthy local community charity, visit www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards or call 0844 8369688.

Glasgow stations host Commonwealth sculptures
Stations in Glasgow will be home to lasting symbols of the 2014 Commonwealth Games thanks to the on-going partnership between the Service, the Scottish Prison Service and Glasgow Life. A series of sculptures created by prisoners at HMP Barlinnie will be installed in each of the city’s 11 stations, with the first officially unveiled on Monday 16th June at Cowcaddens. Depicting three athletes standing on a medal podium, the life-size metal frame figures reflect both Glasgow’s industrial heritage and its promising future. GM Ian McMeekin from the Commonwealth Games team said: “There is huge excitement ahead of the Commonwealth Games and communities throughout Glasgow across Scotland are certain to put on a tremendous welcome for athletes and visitors from around the world. “Strong partnerships with other agencies and the public are key to protecting our communities, as they’re essential to helping our crews reach people who can be at highest risk of experiencing a fire. By providing 11 points throughout the city
where everyone can see a fitting reminder of the Games we are able to help our partners and put something back into communities across Glasgow. Area Manager for Glasgow George McGrandles stated that “It’s important to remember that firefighters are very much part of the communities they serve and, like all Glaswegians, our crews should be proud of the role they will play in delivering a spectacular, safe and memorable Games. The final product is clearly outstanding and I would like to extend our thanks to everyone involved in bringing this project to fruition. It’s the things we do together which are the most successful and have the biggest impact in our neighbourhoods.”
SFRS offered the use of the city’s fire stations after Glasgow Life and HMP Barlinnie ran into difficulty when attempting to find suitable sites to place the then-planned sculptures. All three agencies established a working group to develop the project. Watch Manager Paul Blackwood and Group Manager Iain Goodlet have been instrumental in deciding on the resultant designs, which have been chosen to reflect ten individual sports as well as one of three triumphant athletes standing on a podium. A grant from Glasgow Life allowed the Service to commission the sculptures, while Clean Glasgow donated its services to ensure each of the sculptures is given a suitable setting.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have been working closely with partners and the Commonwealth games to prepare for Glasgow2014. This will be a fantastic opportunity to showcase Glasgow and SFRS have been working closely with all concerned to deliver a safe Games. This means engaging with our communities to provide home safety messages. and creating opportunities around volunteering for young people in and around Glasgow. Think about fire safety when you’re planning your street party. Inform your local authority who will work alongside the SFRS to plan and ensure emergency access is maintained within areas where streets may be subject to local closures.
If you are planning a party, or similar celebration event, in a non-domestic building then owners and occupiers are required to consider the premises’ fire risk assessment Take care if you are cooking for the event; especially if alcohol is being consumed. It is all too easy to leave a pan on in the kitchen, especially if you are distracted by the festivities. Please remember that unattended cooking accounts for more fires in the home than anything else. If you are planning a barbecue make sure you don’t leave it unattended and run the risk of causing a fire. Also, please remember not to light your
barbecue too close to sheds, fences, trees or your home. Dispose of smoking materials properly and make sure they are completely extinguished. Members of the public can get more safety information on the SFRS website.
SFRS have been busy in recent months delivering Firereach courses across Glasgow and creating opportunities around volunteering for young people and approximately 240 young people will be seen in their distinctive SFRS Firereach t-shirts. Look out for them and if you haven’t already sign up for a FREE Home Fire Safety Visit.
We are also fully engaging the business community with safety messages and through statutory audits, to help them deliver services safely to everyone living, visiting and working in Glasgow. People who have concerns about how the Games might affect them can request a free Home Fire safety Visit on 0800 0731 999, or go to www.firescotland.gov.uk for information on Home and business safety”.

The no nonsense celebrity chef, the youngest to attain three Michelin stars, has said of the high quality food to be served “My recipe for affordable glamour is all about serving quality food at affordable prices.

JUST DAE IT! WIN!
Alrighty madskulls I’m back for my usual bit of Glasgow banter and general mockery of life. A lot has been going on this week from banging hangovers to TV terrorism, so here’s what went down!
The financial managers at Bar Bloc have saw fit to allow us to offer you, the dear reader, a prize this week. So if you want to win a duo of Sloppy Jocks and two Sailor Jerry Milkshakes to wash them down with at Bar Bloc... just Tweet @Glasgow__News and @BarBloc with #JUSTDAEIT The winner will be announced on Twitter soon!
MAD CHEF ON YER TELLY! Last week I got an email from Glasgow STV Asking if I’d be up for doing some cooking on live TV, my instant reply, “right in aboot it!” You can Imagine the shock on my face as I can’t even go ten seconds without swearing as kitchens have a habit of creating this sub species of language that revolves around every swear word known to man, but this could be the chance for me to let the Mad Chef loose for all to see in all his insane glory! The night before I ended up getting full of the old Sailor Jerry, as the nerves kinda creeped me oot, just my way of counteracting the realities of TV pressure.
Seriously I was as rough as an oversized hungry badger, and I was thinking oh geez, I’m gonae be on the telly. Finally I managed to get myself together and organise what I was gonna cook, THE SLOPPY JOCK BURGER and RED KOLA MILKSHAKE.
ARRIVING AT STV
Something the viewers could actually make at home with minimal effort, as that’s what the show was about after all.
So I took a deep breath went to the big studio and did my final preparations, checking for bats in the cave from last weeks Peruvian showcase.
Yer more likely tae crack open a bottle of wine or a can of lager and start cooking up a storm with a fork and a kettle, right in aboot a pot noddle, this is reality and if food’s not quick and simple then whits the point.
By god I felt mischievous, I swear I could have caused total TV terrorism, the wee social media chicks arrived and and got introduced and a mention came up about people having bets on about me saying the C word on telly, they’d basically marked ma cards which was quite funny to be honest. Rule number one of being a wido: Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn. So the show started and I could hear the voices inside ma heid saying DONT SWEAR don’t dae it. Obviously I didn’t want to spoil ma chances of anything that could come out of this so I momentarily reprogrammed ma brain and replaced the “F” word with “obviously” and the “C” word with “it is what it is” and by god it worked! In the end I had such a laugh and enjoyed the whole experience as it still blows ma mind that they even asked me on, if I was me I widnae let maself on the telly. Anyways all a well that ends well, I felt like I had and given the blue collar troops like myself that work their backsides off, a good show as at the end of the day.
The result was I never got to sleep until 5am, when I woke my eyes were shaped more like two swans eggs in a carrier bag.
I mean no ones gonna have time tae make seafood paella or whack on a couple of fresh scones, let’s get realistic I can just see it: “Aye man just done a heavy 13 hours shift pure chokin tae get hame an whack up a couple o’ fresh scones and a we bit o’ paella”, some how I don’t think so.
like “I’m gonae be in the telly hahahah”
On arrival at the studio, I was nervous, but the show must go on as they say!
I said in ma heid LETS DAE THIS! They escorted me up the stairs tae the kitchen which by the way looked like an Ikea show room minus the cooking equipment. Ah was like “Ye got any frying pans hen ah canny cook this burger wae watter.”
So the wee bird done the Kansas shuffle to locate me the utensils I needed to do the job. While she was away me and the owner from Bloc who has been like a father figure to me over the years, started takin’ pictures about the set and taking a few naughty selfie’s and am running aboot

The Saturdays -
“WE LOVE Glasgow!” Mollie Saturdays “We love the Glasgow crowd, you always look as if you’re having a fantastic time”
Girl group The Saturdays, have it all, footballer boyfriends, adorable children, millions of fans singing their songs at every concert and this August is shaping up to be a busy month for the girls, they’ve a new single named What Are You Waiting For being released, and also a Greatest Hits album due out as well. Glasgow News caught up with Mollie from the Saturdays to chat about the excitement of the music industry, meeting celebrity crushes and her love of the Glasgow crowd. With the new single being released in August and the greatest hits album and tour imminent, its an exciting time for the five girls (and their fans) Mollie spoke about the fantastic new single “it was created by Xenomania and is one of the new singles of the greatest hits albums, we feel that its a real summer anthem, its upbeat, its got a real dance beat to it, the fans will love it” The Saturdays formed in 2008 and were the natural torch bearers to follow Girls Aloud after their demise. Recently the Saturdays have been showcasing a mature sound Mollie tells us “With the singles they’ve definitely matured over time, although we’ve always stayed within the pop element, but still, we’ve brought a more dance orientated element as well. “Quite simply we always want to release feel good music.” With the greatest hits tour reaching Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium on the seventh of September this year, Mollie said “We cant wait to

come up to Glasgow, the crowds are always so vibrant and noisy, you always look as if you’re having a fantastic time.” Now in their seventh year as a group, with no1 albums and singles under their belt does Mollie feel different, more confident than when she initially started in the group “oh definitely we’ve grown as performers, as a band, we’re really close, because what we’ve learned, we’ve experienced together, its made us stronger, we’re certainly tougher as well.” Not to say that the girls aren’t so showbiz that they wont still be occasionally starstruck when meeting other performers Mollie explains “ha ha I’m quite embarrassing when it comes to meeting famous people, Justin Timberlake, who I’ve been a fan of since I’ve been about 11, when I met him I was so excited. I just about managed to stay cool though.” “What About Us” was The Saturdays first number one in the charts and cemented their place as the top girl band in the UK, but what was it like, has that been Mollies favourite experience so far throughout her time in the Saturdays? She said “It was amazing, to be in a band for six years and finally achieve that number one, but also appearing at the 02 and headlining a tour at Wembley, they were some really wonderful moments.” With the girls ready to go on a nationwide Greatest Hits tour and set to release the new single What Are You Waiting For into the charts, its safe to say that Mollie and the rest of the Saturdays will have plenty of opportunities to add to their list of favourite experiences.
What became of the likely lads they asked? Well it’s confirmed, they reformed and ripped the Barrowlands in half. Pete Doherty, Carl Barat, John Hassall and Gary Powell, together, triumphant and electric. Arriving fashionably late and walking onto the stage of the world famous Barrowlands, the Libertines appeared to a rapturous applause kicking off their two performances in two days and it was like they’ve never been away. The on/off love affair that Pete Doherty and Carl Barat possess was most definitely on and after introducing themselves as “a band from England that used to perform up here.” they were off and running. Opening with Horrorshow, the newly reformed band looked as if they were in their element.
struggle to experience the same adrenaline and excitement that the Libertines provide. Wearing their post punk credentials firmly on their sleeve, there were certain moments during the night where there was an air of calm, songs such as What Became of the Likely Lads, or Don’t Look Back Into The Sun, could almost be written as a letter to their past selves. Begging to look to the future and forget about the troubles of the past. With Pete Doherty ever the showman, at the end of one song threw his guitar to the side of the stage, as an act of rebellion, the crowd loving every minute went ballistic.
With the majority of the fans reciting each song word for word. It’s easy to see why the band, although known equally for their offstage antics as much as their undoubted onstage talent, will always have a seat in the kingdom of British music. Performing a mammoth 25 song setlist, and incorporating almost every one of their classic songs into the amazing concert, the band even had time to flaunt the draconian no smoking laws in Scotland and casually light up a cigarette on stage. The les enfants terrible’ were back and they were taking no prisoners. The passion and ferocity that the two lead men bring to the stage, it’s easy to understand why they have such a hard time staying together, but quite certainly when performing in their other bands (Babyshambles, Dirty Pretty Things et al) they will
With songs such as Cant Stand Me Now, What Katie Did, Time For Heroes or What a Waster amongst countless others, etched into the hearts and minds of the British music industry. Its hard to believe that in such a short space of time (1997-2004) they managed to create such an unstoppable force of nature through their live performances and music. With rumours abound that after the Hyde Park gigs this weekend, they are heading back into the studio to create new material, fans, old and new will be anticipating the return of their idols. Somewhat tragically, however, is the thought that, if The Libertines, never split up and continued releasing such brilliant angry masterpieces of music, would they have shaped the indie music scene in a way which we’ll now never know, what would the Libertine shaped last ten years have sounded like? But forget the past, look to the future. The Libertines are alive, The Barrowlands was shaken to its very foundations and Hyde Park better look out. The likely lads are back.

a 30% discount (and under 3’s go free). If visiting Dean Castle Country park last week whetted your appetite for history and the great outdoors, then why not try Balloch Castle and Country Park, here you can explore the Fairy Glen, Chinese Garden, Pleasure Grounds, Quarry Pond, Kitchen Garden,
Secret Garden, Woodlands and Parklands, a tranquil day out for the family, in beautiful surroundings,
with plenty of space to use those outdoor/sports toys that you picked up

There you have Pirate Pete’s softplay, the stunning beaches where you can build sandcastles, throw some frisbee’s, play some beach football and go for a paddle in the water. There is also a vast play area, with lots of activities for the little, and big kids, to do. It’s a full day of active fun, at next to no cost, and it’s sure to tire out the kids – meaning an early night to be ready to do it all again the following day.

Some summer sun tips! 1.
Apply sunscreen properly. Generously apply sunscreen 30 minutes before your child goes out in the sun. Choose a sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 or higher. Scented and colourful sunscreens appeal to some kids and make it easier to see which areas have been covered well. Don’t forget nose, ears, hands, feet, shoulders, and behind the neck; lips can also burn, so apply a lip balm with SPF protection. Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, or after sweating or swimming.
2. Cover up. Wearing protective clothing and hats is one of the most important ways of warding off UV damage. When wet, light-coloured clothing transmits just as much sunlight as bare skin. Keep your kids covered with dark colours, long sleeves, and pants whenever possible. And don’t forget the accessories: sunglasses with UV protection to
guard against burned corneas, and hats to prevent sunburned scalps and faces. Protective clothing, hats with brims, and sunglasses are just as important for babies. At the beach, bring along a large umbrella.
3. Keep watch on medications. Some medications increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to ask your doctor whether your child may be at risk. Prescription antibiotics and acne medications are the most notorious culprits, but when in doubt, ask. Set a good example for your kids. If your child sees you following sun-safety rules, he’ll take them for granted and follow suit. Skin protection is important for every member of the family, so team up with your children to stay protected when venturing out in the sun.

The red-lipped batfish is most commonly found around the deep waters of the Galapagos Islands. Similar batfish, such as the rosylipped batfish are found around Cocos Island. The habitat range for this batfish is deep waters. Divers may encounter this fish at depths greater than 100 feet, but they are not common. We wouldn’t fancy giving that a smooch, would you?

Children with old souls When is comes to children we’ve all heard or used the sayings “ they have been here before” or they are an “old soul” In the course of my daily work doing psychic readings I often tell parents about their children and there are some that I can clearly see are “Old Souls” who have been here before – the parents nod and say things like “ everyone says that” or “yes we know” or even more interesting “how do you know that?”
It’s a common thing but, this only tells a fraction of the story when we link to past lives and reincarnation. Continued on next page

26 Glasgow News | 4th July - 11th July 2014 There are traits that children have, those tell tale signs that indicate a past life and perhaps one of the most famous cases was that of Barbro Karlen who believed she had been Anne Frank in a past life.
www.glasgow-news.com
saying it was only minutes away, she was right as she lead them straight to the front door.
Barbro Karlen was born in 1954 in Sweden, and less than a decade before Anne Frank passed away in a Jewish concentration camp in 1945 – the Karlen family had no idea about the book that had been written on Anne Frank and her experiences as it had not been translated or published in Swedish, yet, she was able to tell her own mum that she was not her “real mother”
When she was ten her parents visited Amsterdam while there they decided to visit the museum of Anne Frank and were arranging to get transport there but, Barbro stopped them
There were other key points to her belief such as, she loathed beans which were said to be the Frank families staple diet for the two years they were in hiding – she had an irrational fear of uniforms and she would not take a shower insisting it had to be a bath [they were known to pipe gas in through the showers in the concentration camps] This along with other cases like it shows that there has to be something in connection with reincarnation otherwise, where would all the facts come from? Another story, which became a TV documentary, was about “The Boy from Barra” the Scottish lad who kept telling his mother that his real family lived there and that planes landed on the sand as well as other details about his home there.
Quite disturbing for any parent to hear I’m sure – she had constant nightmares about men running up the stairs to find her in an attic but her parents thought all of this was just childish nonsense. At the age of eight the class were being taught in school about the story of Anne Frank - she was confused thinking she knew all about this already as it felt like her life - this was beginning to get out of hand and her parents sought medical advice only to be told there was nothing wrong with their daughter.
been taken them down to be framed to preserve them.
On entering the attic she became distressed and fearful, the way she was after one of her nightmares however once calm she said – it’s great to see the film stars still on the wall but, when her parents looked there was nothing there – her mother asked about this she was told they were indeed originally there but they had
When they finally took him to the Hebridean Island of Barra he was able to take them to the house and it was as he had described it and planes do land on the beach. These are only two cases but there are literally hundereds from around the world that have been researched and documented. So, how do you know if your child has been here before? Take a look at this list and see how many things you feel relate to your child.
William McFadzean CSNU has been aware of Spirit since childhood, but, it wasn’t until he was in his twenties and his Grandfather passed, that he started to take his work for the Spirit World seriously. It was a natural step for him to develop as a Medium and to work for the Spirit World. William started to attend weekly development classes in Ayr and continued to develop in various Churches and Centre throughout the UK over many years. Further development was at The Arthur Findlay College in Stansted and has since gained experience by working some of the best platforms in the UK and Europe. William’s demonstrations can have you in tears one minute and howling with laughter the next. He has a natural ability to blend with the Spirit World and interact with an audience at the same time. William is a Platform Accredited Speaker and Demonstrator, as well as a Certificate holder of the Spiritualist’s National Union. For more details please see: www.ayrshire-mediums.com

7 Reincarnation traits in children 1 The eyes – some children are referred to as “Old Souls” you can tell simply by looking at their eyes, as the eyes are the mirrors to the soul. When they look at you its as if they stare straight into your very being and just know you. 2 Advanced skills – kids who are way advanced for their age and can speak and demonstrate skills to a high level - we would perhaps call them child prodigies but where did they get the skills? This could very well have been the case with the likes of Jean Piaget the psychologist who wrote a highly educated paper at the age of eleven. 3 Language – children can either begin to speak in a whole different language or learn one easily. Kids can remember a previous language like the wee boy of 6 years old who was able to understand and translate the words of Adolf Hitler even thought he had no knowledge of the language in or around the family. 4 Memories of a previous life – children will often recount stories about a past life, telling of their family, places they lived, who their families were and also what they did. Apparently this normally happens between the ages of 2-4 after that the memories fade. 5 Birth Marks – children can have birthmarks where they believe things happened to them in a past life. The Tlingit Indians looks out for specific markings on children to see if their loved ones have returned. There was a case in India where a wee boy had a mark on his head and told his family, this is where I was shot in a past life – when investigated it was found to be true.
Yet another boy in India had several birthmarks on his chest and remembers a shotgun blast to that very area. 6 Traumatic events – children can be in total fear about something that is so irrational e.g. in the case of Barbro K arlen and her fear of uniforms which, she went on to conquer by becoming a mounted police officer in Sweden. 7 Information – children can give parents information about their own life before they were born telling them “ we were watching you from heaven before we came here” even my own children at a very young age said to me “ we were watching you from up there [as they pointed to the sky] before we came down to you. The late Dr. Ian. Stevenson, the son of a Scottish Lawyer, had researched over 300 cases of children’s reincarnation including the case of Barbro - which can be found at; http://reluctantmessenger.com/ reincarnation-proof.htm

Life Flow over a number of years, just fast fixes that get fast results. When a twig falls from a branch into the stream it just gets carried by the flow until it hits a boulder or rock. Then it waits until the current carries it back into the flow again. Sometimes it feels as though it’s lodged there forever but that doesn’t always mean it needs years of counselling to move on; sometimes it just needs a gentle shove. For me that’s what life coaching is. Now whether people come and see me as soon as they feel stuck or whether they’ve been there for a while it’s still only that gentle nudge in the right direction they need to put them back on the path that’s right for them. When we’re born we don’t come into the world carrying excess baggage; that comes from things we’ve picked up on the way. Such as the behaviours we’ve learned from other people around us so we fit in our environment. But in fitting in we bend ourselves out of shape and we lose bits of our self. Life coaching is helping you get back to being the real you.
I believe that everyone is born with the gift of being psychic. Some people develop it and use it to help others, some people try but can’t quite get it to work and others will never know they had it in the first place. But what does this have to do with life coaching and while we’re here now what exactly is ‘life coaching’? And more importantly you probably want to know how it can help you? When I had my old day job there used to be a steady stream of people at lunchtime draw up a chair and sit themselves down to tell me about their problems. I didn’t mind as long as they didn’t mind me eating as we chatted. I was happy to help if I could but at the expense of my lunch...? Hmm. It usually ended in the same way; ‘ you should be a life coach you know’. Well, maybe there was something in that; you know the way your mind starts to wonder then wanders off in another direction. But this time I let my body follow it. I knew the direction I was travelling in that job wasn’t the right path for me
anymore so I left it behind. To move quickly forward and cut a long story short I retrained as a ‘life coach’ with Ali Campbell, who is life coach to celebrities and royalty. His name just kept appearing everywhere I looked; you name it there he was, and I liked what he did and the way that he did it; I became one of his apprentices learning from him exactly how he gets results for his clients so that I could do it for others. No need to ask someone to relive their story, no need to come for umpteen appointments
There’s a saying that our thoughts create our reality. Sometimes we have a fear or worry about something in the future, usually based on our memories of what happened in the past. Well unless you’ve developed those psychic abilities I spoke about earlier then how do you know things will turn out the way you think? Life coaching helps you see the reality of the present. Whether it’s a fear or phobia, lack of self confidence or maybe getting rid of stress and putting insomnia to bed once and for all I can help you get results quickly.

Spirit Connections
Each week Joan will provide messages from your loved ones in the spirit world with the aim of providing comfort. If you read one of the messages and feel that it connects with you message Joan and let her know. Spirit Connections:
It may feel like all you do is work in the house and clean up after everyone and that your life is a tad boring however I am to remind you that what you do is always appreciated, perhaps not in the way that you would like but, nevertheless it is. I sense your mother close to you in the world of spirit and she is hearing your thoughts and wants you to know that you did so much for her in the same way and that she loves you very much for just being you. She is showing me how you are feeling at the moment but I sense this is a phase that you go through every now and again and so, it will pass. For some reason I see you thinking about yoga and just getting out to do some other things to help you rise above this stage and you are getting the thumbs up from your mum for this too. Things will be humdrum if you don’t do anything to change them and so this is your opportunity to do so. I am also hearing the name Grace as I write this so that will mean something to you.
Spirit Connections:
As your child get’s ready to fly the coup it is never an easy time especially where emotions are concerned. I sense travel and study in that order and that you are helping them to prepare for this journey and even though you want them to get everything they can out of life it doesn’t make it any easier to see them go. I sense the name Veronica or Vera may have a link to you as well and I also sense that a male in the spirit world is they’re walking
the steps with you and is helping you to remain strong and allow them to go with love. James and Calum will connect to you also and that perhaps there is a connection to them & your Son who is about to make his mark in the world. This is a time when you can also consider what you would like and how you can move forward in your own life as well as this is your growing stage too and time for you to create more of your own identity. Watch out for an offer of travel coming to you that will keep you occupied in the mean time.
Spirit Connections:
The first thing I am given from spirit is the name Kitty and I feel strong Irish links with this name and connections to Inverclyde. There has been a recent house move and I am sensing that you are at last ready to put down roots and begin your life all over again. The last three years have been quite difficult and emotional due to a sudden loss and only now are you rea dy to move forward. A gentleman in the spirit world comes for ward with such gentle and loving energy and can see your progress although painful at times he is proud of your strength and is always close to you. He wants to remind you of a memory and I sense old photographs and Canada are all part of this – there were many wonderful times and laughs along the journey you took together and he still wants to see that smile from you again. He is also saying there is a pregnancy around you and this will help you to get out and about, a new least of life and with such fun attached to it so keep your spirits up as he walks the path with you.

Star Signs
www.glasgow-news.com
Psychic Joan Charles
I am delighted to be delivering your stars although; I won’t be doing them in the traditional way, as I am not an astrologer. For many years I have provided the stars using Tarot cards and that is what I will be doing here so, I guess in a sense they should be called, Taroscopes. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy what the cards have to say.
Aries
Perhaps not the best week you’re ever had although as they say every cloud has a silver lining and I sense yours is on its way. Sometimes you need to come through the rubbish to get to the good stuff.
Taurus
I sense you will be the bearer of gifts for others perhaps not in a material sense but there are things of value that you can pass on and that’s worth more than any material object. There may also be one special gift that is for you too.
Gemini As one door closes another opens and even though you are not sure if this new opportunity is exactly what you wanted it is worth considering before you say no – you could perhaps make it work.
Cancer
When it comes to strength and determination you can very much hold your own and other look to you for help when need be. My sense this week is that you are the agony Aunt for others around you.
Leo
Watch out for an invitation as it’s all about fun and play for you right now and you could be thinking it’s a chill out phase so enjoy. I’m sensing a connection to the commonwealth games so perhaps a ticket is on the cards.
Virgo
Travel and fun stand out however, if you do things in a rush there are bound to be some issues that arise from this so – take your time and that way you’ll get the most out of your adventures.
Libra This week you could have a tendency to be a little melancholy and be looking back over the past. Memories are treasures and it’s all about the way we see things as to the impact it has on us.
Scorpio
Maybe your time is taken up planning how you will keep family amused and you may come up with some interesting things that will work a treat. I am seeing something connected with a boat trip perhaps that’s one of your plans?
Sagittarius
I sense work features strongly this week and that you will be in organization mode in order to get some time to yourself. It’s a kind of checklist before you head off to some exotic place or even just for time to yourself.
Capricorn
Woohoo pleasure is the word I am picking up and I feel that you will be treating yourself to whatever takes your fancy. Retail therapy along with meeting up with pals and just enjoying yourself is what is in store.
Aquarius
You are a hard task master to yourself let alone anyone else and you will be cracking the whip to make sure things are done and in order for work so that you can get onto the next list you have waiting.

World
In the course of her work Denise also uses her gifts to help parents who’s children show signs of being either psychic or mediumistic and she does this by visiting the family and speaking with the children to uncover where they get their information from.
I was lucky enough to be able to chat to Denise Lescano who is a psychic medium living in Naples in Florid, and who has offices worldwide including; Baltimore, Tokyo and Japan.
In the case of Elijah who was four years old, he told his Mother who was pregnant, that her baby would be going to God.
American Medium
Her earliest psychic memory is around the age of five and so is no stranger to the world of spirit. I asked Denise what she felt were the highlights of her career and she told me “the highlights of my career and what I am most well known for is my extensive work in the mainstream communities within the mental health and medical community, as well as, law enforcement on local, national and federal levels in the US and also internationally. I have a large network of Doctors, Mental Health counselors, Law enforcement professionals and attorney’s that I work with and that refer clients to me. Although I work with the spiritual communities as well, the spiritual community is a much smaller percentage of my work. However, in the last 5 years or so I have been doing more and more work with Television and currently I am working on 3 TV shows. The Psychic Super Nanny clip that you saw is
Sadly a few days she had a miscarriage but he also informed her that she would have another two babies and that they would be boys – low and behold that’s exactly what happened as the couple went on to have a set of twin boys – obviously, Elijah was one very tuned in wee cookie
right now are focused on bringing my message and insight to the TV and film audience. My book was written for the mainstream masses and I will take the same approach with TV and film. I have a degree and background in Visual communications, media and marketing which serves me well in these arenas” It is so important to be able to help families come to terms with and understand a child who has a psychic ability – they need to know that this is in fact “normal” and that to give them love, nurturing and understanding can make all the difference to their lives. Denise is a very talented and gifted psychic who’s work is making a difference and this is what its all about
When Denise made a visit to the couples home she was told that Elijah used to say that he got the information from God however, when she tuned into the psychic energy she was able to share with the family that the information was in fact coming from a Grandmother, she then gave information connecting to her as proof. The family quickly made sense of what was going on which you can imagine would have been a relief, especially when the family don’t really know where this is coming from or what to do about it in order to help their child. I asked Denise what her next goal was and she said “ My newest goals

Crystal Power The Amethyst
Believe it or not th is is known as the “ Sobriety Stone” as it is classed as an antidote for drunkenness.
It is such a powerful crystal for mind, body and soul and is used for the likes of psychic protection, to attract abundance into your life, to bring about calming energies and for meditation.
Apparently this is a great crystal to use when faced with legal or authority matters and so this is worth bearing in mind in case you find yourself a situation like this. Psychics and spiritual folk use this particular crystal all the time to help enhance their energies and skills – they use it for dream work
and clairvoyance, which is apt as it, links to the third eye chakra which is situated in between they eyes on the brow area. To tap into its qualities have one in your home and leave it on the window ledge under the light of the full moon.
Pisces
Pennies from heaven, new cash looks set to come your way and not before time. I sense that you could do with a little extra for the holidays. I’m also seeing foreign cash and it could be there is an added bonus there too.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
FRIDAY 4 - THURSDAY 10 JULY
Man and apes embark on a spectacular collision course in the thrilling sequel to ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’. Ten years have passed since apes and men went their separate ways after the battle of the Golden Gate Bridge. Mankind has been all but wiped out by the simian flu. Caesar (Andy Serkis), meanwhile, leads an evolving, peaceful ape society in the depths of San Francisco’s Muir Woods. When a band of human survivors stumble across the ape village, Malcolm (Jason Clarke) and Ellie (Keri Russell) are eager to promote peace between these former enemies. But they reckon without hot-headed survivalist Dreyfus (Gary Oldman), who leads an army of soldiers and is hell-bent on revenge! ‘Cloverfield’ director Matt Reeves takes over for this action-packed sequel, which centres on a make-or-break battle for dominance. With the apes now carrying guns and developing a rudimentary language, the outcome is far from clear!
PUDSEY THE MOVIE Britain’s Got Talent’s lovable dancing canine champ is voiced by David Walliams in his first big-screen family adventure. Pudsey is a cheeky, happy-go-lucky London stray who’s adopted by young siblings Molly (Izzy MeikleSmall), George (Spike White) and Tommy (Malachy Knights). They’ve recently lost their father, so mum Gail (Jessica Hynes) decides on a change of scenery by moving to the rural village of Chuffington. But just as our pampered hero is beginning to enjoy family life, trouble rears its ugly head in the evil form of landlord Mr. Thorne (John Sessions) and his dastardly cat Faustus! Amazing dancing dog Pudsey captured the hearts of the nation when he won Britain’s Got Talent with his owner Ashleigh back in 2012. Now he reunites with BGT judge and his ‘Mr. Stink’ co-star David Walliams, who provides the nimble-pawed pooch’s voice for this heartwarming family romp. The director is Nick Moore, who gave us ‘Horrid Henry: The Movie’.
AUNDRE RIEUS MAASTRICHT 2014 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT 19TH JULY 7 PM The King of the Waltz stages a spectacular anniversary concert in the Netherlands’ most romantic city square. Hugely popular Dutch violinist and composer Andre Rieu regularly features alongside top rock and pop bands as one of the world’s highest earning touring acts. Each year, the maestro comes home to Maastricht for his legendary summer evening concert series, which attracts audiences from around the globe. As 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of these fabulous events, Andre is pulling out all the stops to make this show his most dazzling and memorable to date. Joined, as usual, by his renowned 60 piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, he promises a host of special guest artists, soloists, a stunning light show and breathtaking fireworks. The setting for this romantic and emotional open air concert is Maastricht’s magnificent medieval Vrijthof Square. Expect beautiful music, song, laughter, dancing - and even a few tears!
MONTY PYTHON LIVE 20TH JULY 7 PM Knotted hankies at the ready: it’s Monty Python’s historic last stand broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. It’s been more than three decades since they last appeared on stage together for a Hollywood Bowl show. But now surviving Pythons John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin combined age: 357! - are dusting down those classic comedy routines for their final farewell. There was a phenomenal demand for tickets when this run of ten reunion shows at the O2 Arena was announced. Now Cineworld audiences can join in the fun as the Last Night of Monty Python is broadcast live in glorious HD. The legendary quintet promise a selection of their finest sketches with modern, topical and suitably Python-esque twists. It’s certain to be one of the greatest live events of the year, as well as an emotional experience for the Pythons and their fans. Expect laughter and tears. But mostly laughter

T
here are just a handful of writers working in British TV whose name makes viewers sit up and take notice. Arguably at the front of that list is Jimmy McGovern, who began his small screen career by penning episodes of Brookside, which was set in his home city of Liverpool. Since then he’s won numerous plaudits for such acclaimed programmes as Cracker, The Lakes, The Street, Hillsborough, Sunday and Accused. Now McGovern is back with Common (Sunday, BBC1, 9pm), a one-off, feature-length drama that is sure provoke plenty of chat around watercoolers across the nation – and may even spark further debate in more lofty settings. Like
much of his previous work, it’s set in the north west of England.At the centre of the tale is Common Purpose, a 300-year-old legal doctrine that allows several people to be charged with a crime where they are not the primary offenders. It has been increasingly used in the last 10 years to tackle crimes, often murder, which are deemed to be gang-related. “Joint Enterprise was first used in Britain's courts a few hundred years ago,” explains McGovern. “It was designed to stop the aristocracy duelling. If one duelist killed another then all involved in that duel (the seconds and the surgeons) were charged with murder. It worked. mBritain's aristocrats stopped duelling.

Ben Shephard Tipping Point: Lucky Stars ITV, 7.30pm We know what you’re thinking: where can we find a show that will fill a dead hour on a Saturday night? One that will hopefully feature Carol Vorderman, that bloke who plays Emmerdale’s Marlon Dingle, and if we’re really lucky, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! veteran Joe Swash? Well, the search ends here as soap star Mark Charnock and all of the above will be taking part in the strangely addictive, Penny Falls-style show. There’s a cool £20,000 up for grabs for one of the celebs’ chosen charities.

PICK OF THE WEEK
“Now the law is being used against Britain's youth. If someone dies in a fight and you're involved in any way whatsoever, you could find yourself charged with murder. And, if you do, Heaven help you because the burden of proof required in joint enterprise cases is frighteningly low.” mThe BBC’s controller of drama commissioning, Ben Stephenson, adds: “Common is an ambitious and controversial film. Much in the same way as Hillsborough and Sunday, Jimmy wanted to write this film after
talking to the families of those directly affected by the joint enterprise law. “We believe it is right for the BBC to give writers such as Jimmy an opportunity to tell a story like this, and to allow the audience to make up their own minds about it.” The Village star Mirallegro heads the cast as 17-year-old Johnjo, who gives his cousin and some mates a lift, supposedly so they can get a pizza.They’re actually going to confront somebody they’ve had an argument with – and in the ensuing melee, an innocent bystander is killed. Johnjo is horrified by what has happened, but it’s when the investigation into the murder begins that his nightmare really starts…

John Bishop John Bishop’s Australia BBC1, 9pm In 1992, the 25-year-old John Bishop rode a bicycle through Australia and back to Liverpool. But having spent all day on the road, he always felt he missed out on so much of the country he rode through. Now he returns to retrace his journey Down Under, using his original diary as a guidebook, meeting a range of extraordinary characters and experiencing true natural wonders. The comic begins by talking about his life back in the UK 22 years ago, and why he decided to set off on the journey in the first place, before he travels to Sydney and sets off up the east coast.

Chris Diamantopoulos Episodes BBC2, 10pm With Pucks dead, our beloved scribes are about to head home, but word has got out about their piping hot script, and unhinged big cheese Castor wants to fast track a series into production… without even shooting a pilot. The problem is Castor is mentally a few programmes short of a schedule, as he proves in a rib-tickling/ cringeworthy meeting when he proposes they screen any show at any time. And that could include a fourhour show about bees. Meanwhile, Matt gets a rude awakening when he goes for an interview at NBC.

How to Feng Shui your bedroom For more than 3,000 years cultures have held a strong belief in feng shui. Feng shui being the art of balancing the energies of a room, to promote health and wellbeing. It is also aid to promote, good fortune and positive career choices.
Feng shui literally translates as wind and water, which in Chinese culture promotes good health, however if a room has poor feng shui it can lead to bad luck, misfortune and poor health. Here is an easy guide to making sure your room is full of feng shui positive energy. Thus bringing good fortune and well being to your life and your career. The bedroom is the most important room in your house, its where you recharge your personal energy and with feng shui on your side, you can fully receive the benefits of feng shui.
1. The Bed
Lets presume that you have already acquired a perfect feng shui bed, (comfortable mattress, light pillows, natural fibred sheets etc) The prime location to place your bed for positive feng shui is facing away from the door although avoid putting your bed in a corner. (This is called the feng shui commanding position)
2. Surrounding bedside area
Whilst lying down on your bed you should not be able to see the door, however try and avoid having angular bedside tables facing you while you sleep. (the angular tables draw positive energy away from the bed).
3. Electrical devices
Consider removing unnecessary electrical devices from your room, however if this is not possible, the prime location for electrical devices should be at the opposite end of the room from your bed.
4.Clean fresh oxygen
Another simple exercise which will promote great feng shui, is the regular freshening up of the room, with either an oxygen air purifier, opening the windows(you’d be surprised how many people won’t ever open their windows) Fresh air, equals positive mental stimulation.
5. Lighting
Lighting is one of the most essential parts of creating perfect feng shui in your room, you should be able to chose from more than one light source in your room. Candles, dimmer switches, lamps, having a good light source can enable you to draw nutrients from the ambience in the room.
6. Colour flow
For positive feng shui, its best to use natural colours whilst decorating your room, referred to as “skin colours” which means that you use the colours most aligned with the human body, try and avoid strong powerful colours because it drains the positive energy from the room.
7.Image optimisation
Finally, the process of selecting the correct artwork for your bedroom is essential for bringing the room together, for feng shui to work, everything that has gone before, must work in unison with the room. By choosing positive and successful images and adorning your room with them, you will help promote positive energy in your life. However do the opposite, and adorn your room with negative defeatist images and you are allowing, negative, defeatist energy into your room and your life.

Get your Garden Ready for... By

Barbecue
Season! There is one thing that sunny afternoons were made for... Barbecues. There is nothing better than to invite the friends and family round, having a few drinks and throwing some meat on the barbie. However, before you organise the garden bash you will need to make sure your garden is barbecueready. Here are our top tips to get your garden looking so fabulous, you will want to eat outside even in winter! (Well, maybe not, this is Scotland after all!) 1. Make sure your garden is nice and
clean. Sweep up any dead leaves and pull up weeds. Brush your paths and decking. Tidy up the shrubbery and trees. 2. Give your garden furniture a good cleaning up. If you don’t have any garden furniture just life the dining table outside. If you don’t have enough chairs, ask friends and relatives to bring some with them or pick some cheap foldaway ones in Ikea. If you have a big grassy area in your garden put down a picnic rug and some cushions for a relaxed alfresco experience. 3. Position the barbecue as close to the kitchen as possible, so it’s easier for nipping in and out. Use the table
for laying all the food out on, like a buffet style. Make sure you put out sauces, bread and salad to go with the meat.

The Smart Girls Guide to... The Glasgow Hire Bikes
So imagine receiving a box of goodies and the excitement of not knowing what’s inside! If you like the sound of that, you will love Glossybox! After hearing great things about Glossybox, I received a box of treats and it really is like a gift! Beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon within a pink box, enclosed within are five beauty products. Usually a mixture of samples and full size products, items are hand picked by the lovely people at Glossybox to suit your preferences. It is then delivered straight to your door. All for £10 (plus P&P) a month, this works out to £2 a product! Bargain! I was sent the June box (I kept this article until July as not to ruin the surprise for anyone waiting on one!) and the goodies were fabulous. Here is a run down of what was inside: Nailgirls 3-in-1 base, topcoat and nail strengthener The nail varnish has been relaunched and is longer lasting. I have had it on for 4 days so far as I write this (even through nail biting deadline day!) and my nails have got hardly a chip on them.

quality. I used it to create smoky eyes and I was very impressed with this brush. L’Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Black This mascara is possibly my favourite item out the box. A pet hate of mine is clumpy mascara and there were hardly any clumps at all with this. With different sizes bristles the brush covered all my lashes and fanned them out for that false-lash effect. So Susan Cosmetic Concealer Squad This compact quad has three shades of concealer and a highlighter which makes it perfect for contouring. This came a close second to the mascara in my list of favourites. It is lightweight and because
it’s made with virgin Marula oil, it nourishes dry skin. Rituals... Qi Gong-Spray This lightly scented antiperspirant spray is perfect for summer. It’s not often you find an anti-perspirant that smells nice but still has protection, and infused with white lotus and yi yi ren it smells amazing! Overall, I am delighted with my Glossybox and will definitely be subscribing to it. They have monthly plans or they also have three, six and 12 month plans. So what are you waiting for, sign up to Glossybox today – you won’t regret it! For more information or to sign up go to www.glossybox. co.uk By

Before you can take a bike out, you will need to register with Next Bike which you can do online, over the phone or by downloading the app. When you go to hire a bike, you can either call up Next Bike or use the app and you will be given a pin code. Type this into the computer on the bike, it will then tell you the code for the lock and you’re good to go! When you’re finished, you just lock up the bike at another hire station.
Fair fares? Now let’s get to the nitty gritty – the price. For a casual user, the price would be £1 for 30 minutes hire, with each additional half hour costing £1 and capped at £10 for up to 24 hours. A yearly membership costs £60, with hire free for the first 30 minutes and £1 an hour, capped at £5 for up to 24 hours.
Funky Features The bikes have a really slick design and are designed for both men and women to use. The seat goes up or down by adjusting the saddle height. They are equipped with three gears, a bell and a set of Dynamo lights. They even have a wee basket for your bag.
City Cruising The bikes are perfect for nipping about the city on. If you are coming from the south side, get off at Bridge Street Subway and hop on there. Coming from East Kilbride or Rutherglen area? Get off the bus at the Trongate, where there is a bike stand there. You can cycle along the Clyde to the Riverside Museum or take a wee jaunt over to the West End where there are plenty of places to lock it when you’re finished.
Plan that Perfect Picnic! Now that the sun is out, it is best to make the most of it while we can! What better way to enjoy the sun is to make up a delicious picnic and hit the park? Read on for how to organise the perfect picnic... This might seem pretty self-explanatory but don’t forget a picnic rug. If there are quite a few of you going ask everyone to bring one each and you can join them all together.
Make sure you pack an ice cooler, which will keep everything nice and cool.
Now for the food, prepare easy to eat finger-food. Scotch eggs, mini chipolatas, olives, sandwiches, pitta pockets, quiche wedges... the list goes on! Make everything beforehand, the last thing you will want to do is start making sandwiches in the scorching sun, with bugs flying around. If you are not sure what
everyone will like, make a selection.
Ask everyone to bring a dish/plate of something. If everyone brings something they like and share, no one will go hungry – even the fussiest of eaters. As alcohol is off the menu in Glasgow public areas, prepare some delicious cooling drinks in advance. Smoothies or home-made juices will go down a treat! By

Get on your bike! The new hire bikes hit Glasgow last week, which mean one thing... shopping trip required! What better excuse to go shopping, than for a few cycle-friendly items. The good thing about the new “Weegie Wheels” (that’s the nickname i’ve given them!) is that you could be out in town
and feel like hopping on a bike to the West End. This means wearing your everyday stylish clothes that are still practical enough to ride a bike in. Here are our top picks for you to wear on or off a bike... no cycling shorts to be seen!
A baggy, oversized t-shirt is perfect for cycling as it is loose and baggy and won’t cling when you work up a sweat cycling up Hope Street!
Boyfriend Tee Topshop
£12.00 A skirt is a no-no when you are on a bike, so a playsuit or shorts are ideal. This playsuit is perfect as it can be worn bike-to-bar... just make sure you leave the bike for the day!

Any cyclist knows that baggy trousers are a definite no when you’re on a bike. Unless you want to tuck one trouser leg into your socks (eeek!) a pair of skinny jeans are the best thing to wear. There is also nothing worse than seeing someone on a bike with their trousers riding low and their pants on show. These are great as they are high waisted so will keep you nice and covered!
Brigitte Disco Fit Skinny Jeans Missguided
£24.99
If it rains – being in Glasgow, it will at some point – you won’t be able to hold an umbrella, so a hoodie is ideal for when on a bike.
Zip up hoodie Internacionale
£16.99
And another thing... An essential for EVERY woman using a bike! A cushioned saddle seat cover. This can be carried around with you, taking up hardly any space, and put on when you use a bike. It will be a god-send, trust me!
Bicycle Gel Saddle Cushion Seat Cover Amazon

Wearing a baseball will keep the sun your eyes and your out your face. It will protect your head the sun – if it’s sunny!

Edinburgh church bought by creator of Grand Theft Auto The president of Rockstar North studios, responsible for creating the Grand Theft Auto series of video games, is set to purchase St Stephens Church in Edinburgh for a sum thought to be around half a million pounds.
Spokesman for Mr Benzies, Phillip Johnston, has described the move as ‘an entirely philanthropic purchase’, with the intent to maintain the property and preserve it as a community gathering centre for the local residents. Mr Johnston also said the plans for St Stephens will ‘ensure the long term viability of the property as a community centre that benefits all’. Mr Benzies, originally from Aberdeen, has lived in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh for over a decade, Mr Johnston said that it is due to this lengthy time in the area that Mr Benzies recognized St Stephens ‘importance to the community’ saying that ‘Stockbridge is a busy residential area with a relatively small number of community venues’. Mr Menzies beat out around 50 interested parties when purchasing the property, many of whom planned to turn the property into private flats or a bar/restaurant complex. By

Reduced number of mortgage approvals
According to statistics released by the Bank of England, the number of mortgages approved has dropped to the lowest level since June of last year, citing the new mortgage affordability checks as the reason for the decline in approvals. Figures for May showed that there were 61,707 mortgage approvals for private individuals over the course of the month, down from 62,806 in April and much lower than January’s peak of 75,901. Due to new regulations brought in by the government in April of this year which compels lenders to carry out stringent tests on potential borrowers, which includes questions about the prospective customers lifestyle and

other aspects of their personal life, before approving a loan the number of mortgage approvals has fallen sharply across the UK. However, despite these new tests, the rate of home sales has been rising consistently month on month over the course of the last 12 months. The British Bankers Association (BBA) has echoed the Bank of Englands findings in a recent report, which showed the number of mortgage approvals had fallen nationally over the last four months, despite fears over the past month that the property market was starting to overheat again. These recent findings have shown that the new mortgage affordability checks have been working as planned, however, the Bank of England’s
Financial Policy Committee has made recommendations that such checks should be made more stringent again, in an effort to guarantee that another national property bang/bust cycle cannot begin. The committee has advised that the checks should test whether or not a mortgage applicants finances could withstand a three percent rise in interest rates, a slightly more difficult test than currently given.

Magical teapot house goes on a whimsical journey
A house shaped like a teapot, dubbed the ‘Magical teapot’ by it’s creator, artist Ian Hunter, in the border town of Lilliesleaf has been sold for the sum of £10,000 and is set to be transported all the way to the south of France later this month. Originally Mr Hunter built the teapot as a kiln for drying timber which he
works with in his art, however, the building eventually became a visitors attraction and studio for the artist, with a enough space to squeeze 28 people into the whimsical structures top floor. When the teapot arrives in France, it will be repurposed as a tourist attraction and addition to the tea room business that bought it. Mr Hunter said: ‘I am really happy
MA S DIS SIVE CO SU UN MM TS! ER
someone is going to enjoy it.’ It had been advertised on a property website as a ‘fabulous addition to any visitor attraction’ The teapot is set to be dismantled, with every piece being numbered and catalogued before being shipped to France by lorry where it will be reassembled. By

PROPERTY Scottish parliament abolishes Right to Buy MSP’s at Holyrood have voted to abolish council tenants right to buy their homes. The move has been touted by MSP’s as an important step in preserving Scotlands social housing stock, which has seen a loss of nearly half a million properties in the last decade due to the ‘right to buy’ scheme, contributing to increasing waiting lists for social housing across Scotland a list amounting to 185,000 people.
The scheme which was introduced by the Thatcher government in the 80’s is credited with the quantum shift in the home ownership model in Scotland when paired with the housing boom of the early 2000’s, more Scots than ever own their own property. However, a large proportion of former social housing is now part of private letting portfolios, creating an inflated market price for housing originally intended to be accessible to people on the lowest ends of the income scale. The amendment to the housing bill was voted in by a margin of 93 votes to 12, in a statement to the press Housing Minister Margaret Burgess said: ‘We’ve lost 455,000 properties taken out of the social sector while thousands people remained on housing waiting lists in the last year. This could not go on – abolition will protect up to 15,500
homes in the socially rented sector which would otherwise be lost over the next decade. Continuing right to buy would affect all of us, as many former council homes bought under the right to buy end up in the private rented sector, leading to higher benefit costs than would otherwise be necessary. These council homes will no longer be lost to the socially rented sector and this will help to bring down waiting lists as more affordable homes are built.’ Conservative spokesman for housing Alex Johnstone has hit back against the move saying the abolition of the right to buy scheme was ‘the most successful driver for social change in more than 30 years’.
Going on to criticize the Holyrood parliament saying: ‘People in Scotland aspire to own their own homes, but the Scottish government has kicked the property ladder out from under them’.
However, despite immediate concerns following the vote, tenants will have until 2016 to apply to buy their social housing from the local authority, this may mean that a larger proportion of social housing will be sold off in the next two years than previously would have been, as tenants panic buy their properties.

Shedden closes the gap on Turkington McLaren unveils support for STEM subjects
Marques pick sides in latest mobile OS battlefield
DVLA urging motorists to get new logbooks

McLaren unveils support for STEM subjects This week McLaren Group revealed it will join a government launched campaign to boost participation in science, technology, engineering and maths (the ‘STEM’ subjects). The campaign called ‘Your Life’ was launched by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. McLaren will continue its efforts to boost the perception of science and engineering amongst young people by carrying the campaign’s logo on the McLaren Mercedes car for the British Grand Prix, as well as committing to actively support the campaign into the future.
George Osborne said: “The Your Life campaign is part of a long term economic plan to support our high growth sectors across science, tech and engineering, by bringing together some of Britain’s best businesses, institutions and government. “This fantastic commitment by McLaren will help inspire even more young people into well paid jobs in these exciting industries that are essential to our economic prosperity.”
“But I want to do more. With continued government backing, I think we can grow the number of high tech firms here in the UK, we can rejuvenate our manufacturing industry, and Britain can help tackle the global challenges that confront us. To do that though, we need the brightest and best young people to study science and maths and to choose technical careers. That is why I am proud to support the Your Life campaign.”
Ron Dennis CBE, Chairman and Chief Executive of McLaren Group said: “The UK has a rich heritage in science and engineering. It’s no coincidence that eight Formula 1 teams are based here.”
During a visit to the McLaren Technology Centre, George Osborne will discuss the career paths available in high technology companies with a group of female engineers from across
seven points closer to the top position on the board, currently occupied by Turkington.
eventually taking the pole in the final race of the meeting.
McLaren. He will also meet young women from Waldergrave School, recent winners of the GSK McLaren Scientists in Sport challenge, which is designed to inspire students to continue their STEM education and take up technical careers. Over 180 leading businesses and institutions have now signed up to the
Your Life campaign including Google, L’Oreal, Microsoft, Ford, BP, BSkyB, Airbus, Nestle, Samsung, the Science Museum and now McLaren Group. They have all pledged to do more to highlight the career opportunities open to those studying STEM subjects, with some creating new entry level job opportunities and others extending their outreach programmes.
Shedden closes the gap on Turkington Last weekends British Touring Car Championship meet at Croft was a roller coaster of successes and failures across the field. With Colin Turkington in the eBay BMW taking the pole in the first two races of the day with Gordon Shedden hot on his heals in both instances before Turkington retired in the third race of the day, leaving the field wide open for Shedden and in the process move
The weekends racing also signalled a return to form for reigning champion Andrew Jordan who once again finds himself in contention for the championship after a number of disappointing runs this season. Jordan, like Shedden benefitted from Turkingtons mechanical problems and subsequent retirement,
However, despite the advantages gained by Shedden and Jordan, Turkington and his BMW showed consistent pace and excellent form across all the races of the weekend obliterating his own qualifying record at Croft by 1.2 seconds and going from lights to chequered flag in two consecutive races. True to BTCC form there was plenty
of paint trading and shoving amongst the pack, with Jason Plato receiving a 10 place grid penalty after making heavy contact with Alain Menu’s VW CC. Matt Neal, Shedden’s team mate was also embroiled in some controversy, after a ride height check during scrutineering showed that he was sitting below spec, disqualifying him from race one, in the second race, Neals luck remained poor after smashing into both Rob Austin and Warren Scott, resulting in all three cars
being put off the track with only Scott being able to return to the competition. After the dust settled on Sunday, the race for the championship isn’t looking like a foregone conclusion anymore, with the leaders of the table closing in on each other, leaving only small margins for each driver to gain or lose throughout the rest of the season.

Marques pick sides in latest mobile OS battlefield By
At last weeks I/O conference, Google finally unveiled their awaited Android Auto car integration system, the search engine giants answer to Apple’s Car Play system. This latest development in the mobile OS war between the two technology giants has signalled the beginning of a new era for in car entertainment and smart integration for end users. Both Google and Apple’s new systems will be powered by the users handset in place of the cars onboard systems unlike systems previously developed in house by car manufacturers, this development means that car owners will no longer have to bring their car to a dealership for a complicated upgrade process to their on board entertainment system but will instead use their phone as the driving force behind their onboard information and communication systems.
A number of manufacturers have chosen to implement both systems instead of going exclusively with one system as market research has indicated that many prospective buyers may make their decision on what new car to purchase based on which smartphone operating system they use in their day to day lives, as choosing a car with the opposing system would create a number of problems for a new user including changing their phone. Many technologists have presented the view that Google will initially come out on top in this battle as one of the most important aspects of the new integrated systems is navigation, an area where Google has the most comprehensive lead in the industry. However, as the 2015 models roll onto the showroom floor later on this year, how the systems work on a day to day basis for motorists will decide which OS is the victor and which will slide into obscurity.
Unhinged proposals for Cycle Streets
DVLA urging motorists to get new logbooks The DVLA announced this week that it has formally completed the roll out of the new red vehicle registration certificate (VC5), but the agency is encouraging anyone who still holds one of the old format blue logbooks to replace it free of charge with a new style red VC5. DVLA are also encouraging anyone who is buying a new car that still holds an old style document to ask the owner to obtain a new style VC5 before handing over any money. The replacement of the blue logbook came about after the theft of a number of defective blank certificates in 2006 after they were rejected by the DVLA and sent back to the supplier, the new document format was introduced in
an effort to protect motorists from buying a stolen or cloned vehicle with counterfeit paperwork. If you have a blue logbook and want to exchange it for a new VC5, it can be exchanged free of charge by sending the original blue V5C with a covering letter to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA. Or by telephoning 0300 790 6802, you will need to have the registration number, make and model of the vehicle and the document reference number of the blueV5C (this is the 11 digit number on the front of the V5C). You must be the registered keeper and there must be no changes needed to the V5C.

In the latest Traffic Signs, Regulations and General Directions proposal document which is used as a discussion document to set policy for the coming year on Britain’s roads, a proposal has been made for the introduction of what have been dubbed ‘Cycle Streets’.
Streets giving the Cycle Street designation would have a 15mph enforced speed limit for motorists and overtaking a cyclist would become illegal. Under such regulations, any motorists found to be exceeding this ridiculous speed limit or overtaking a cyclist would be subject to a suggested fine of £100 and penalty points placed on their licences.
The document proposes that certain streets within city centres nationwide should be regulated with a view to making cyclists the main priority.
Such a system would give priority to cyclists on the roads within cities, despite the fact that the majority of cyclists do not pay road tax as a
bicycle is their primary method of transport and as such do not contribute to the upkeep of the road system. If this proposal is approved, the government will have to spend millions of pounds re-designing road systems around cyclists, something that Westminster will no doubt justify as local authorities recoup the money spent through fining frustrated motorists for over taking someone going 1mph on the new Cycle Streets.

HAMILTON PARK SCENE OF FIRST WINNER FOR JOHN RICHES By
John Riches enjoyed his first winner as trainer when Indian Giver landed the Sunday Mail Summer Race Night Next Week Handicap at Hamilton Park.
Sent off at 9-2, the Lancashire raider was driven to a two-length victory over Her Red Devil by Ali Rawlinson. Riches, who is based at Pilling, near Lancaster, said: “I’ve only had a licence six weeks and this was only my 11th winner. We’ve had a few placed horses before today so we’re not doing too badly. “Garry Moss and Hugh McWilliams used to train for me but when Hugh got injured I decided to take out my own licence. Racing is my hobby but I’m up at 4.00am and I used to have a fish wholesale business.” Jim Goldie’s Aleksandar, ridden by Graham Lee, led home Linda Perratt pair Geanie Mac and Royal Straight for a Scottish 1, 2, 3 in the
Gordon Brown
Fernigair Handicap.
“He’s tough and game and Graham gave him a lovely ride,” Goldie said. “He stays well so I knew he’d run all the way up the hill.” There is a strong Irish challenge in the feature race at Perth on Wednesday when Gordon Elliott’s Bless The Wings heads the weights for the RAF Leuchars Ops Squadron Handicap Chase (for The Stirling Cup). Elliott said: “It’s his first run for us and he had pretty decent form a couple of seasons ago. We’ll see how he goes but we always try and find some runners for Perth as our owners love bringing runners over.” Nigel Twiston-Davies is another Perth regular and he has son Sam in the saddle for fencing newcomer Lady Fingers who faces nine rivals in the Celebration Of The Horse Day July 30th Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Rangers announce signing of Kris Boyd Rangers announced the re-signing of Kris Boyd as Ally McCoist looks to strengthen his squad for his pursuit of the Championship and Rangers return to the top flight of Scottish football. Boyd who remains one of the top scorers in the Ibrox clubs history will look to continue where he left of before leaving the club in 2010. Boys scored 128 goals in his time at Rangers and sits tenth in the all time list
of the greatest scorers in Rangers history
Announcing the signing of Boyd, McCoist said “its great news for the club, Kris is in my opinion still the most natural finisher in the country and his goal tally at Kilmarnock last season goes some way to proving that.” Boyd who signed on a years contract, will line up with his old striking partner Kenny Miller and McCoist will be hoping they discover the fluency in which they played with each other during their previous spell at the club.
World Cup Round-Up So the group stages are over, the last sixteen has been whittled down and its time for the last eight showdown. Current world flopped.
champions
Spain
England, Portugal, and Italy could not escape the clutches of mediocrity, however this World Cup has proven that you need more than expensive players and previous history to triumph. With Costa Rica, Columbia and the universally derided USA playing some of the best football of the tournament so far, it seems like a changing of the guard is upon world football. Its not to say that the tournament is now without teams expected to progress, prior to the beginning of the World Cup. Hosts Brazil are still favourites. Argentina are being almost single handedly dragged through the tournament by magician Messi and the golden generation of Belgium are still firmly in the mix to become world champions. The difference with this World Cup is that it’s the less fancied teams that are playing without fear, Columbia, arguably the team of the tournament, marching fearlessly into the last sixteen, their odds in the local bookmakers have quickly narrowed.
If the Columbian team continue to triumph and overcome Brazil in their next match and go on to lift the World Cup, local betting shops would be left with a quite a considerable financial headache.
The upcoming game between these two footballing giants is being considered by many as a possible game of the tournament, with both teams being commended for their free flowing style of football during the World Cup.
The Netherlands and Germany have quietly went about their business securing their place in the quarter finals.
Costa Rica have been the true dark horses of the tournament, with many predicting them to finish bottom of their “group of death”, they confounded the critics and have played with a finesse that teams have struggled to compete with.
Germany eventually seeing off an unfancied Algerian team. The Germans, however barely scraped through and the Netherlands needed a dubious penalty against Mexico to progress, These games have proven that at this point in the World Cup there are no guaranteed results. With the Netherlands reaching the World Cup final and subsequently losing, more times than any other team in world football, they will be looking to finally hold the trophy aloft instead of being runners up looking on. France under the tutorship of Les Bleus legend Didier Deschamps (who previously won the World Cup as a player with France) are playing with the confidence needed to win a World Cup. Facing Germany for a place in the semi finals, both teams will certainly stride into the game expecting no less than 110% percent from each player and expecting the win.
Considering Costa Rica began the tournament in a group consisting of Uruguay, England, and Italy, they not only escaped the group, but finished top above Uruguay. Forcing England and Italy onto the first plane home with their tail firmly between their legs. Facing the Netherlands with the winner securing a place in the last eight, Costa Rica will go into the game fearless, as they have done throughout the entire tournament. The lineup for the last eight looks like this Brazil vs Columbia Netherlands vs Costa Rica France vs Germany Argentina vs Belgium Until next week Gaaaaame Onnnn!

AGAINST ALL ODDS Messi and co. versus Belgium is going to be a battle of wills. The Belgians are a team in form, with some truly remarkable individuals, however the Argentinians Have Messi, Di Maria et al. Strategic plans will come in to play, and I fancy a low scoring game, with Argentina to just edge it, 1-0 at odds of 6/1 However the tie of the weekend is Brazil versus Colombia, there will be goals in this one, two sides full of flair, and goals that can come from anywhere, over 2.5 goals is 21/20, so more than double your money is on offer, I see this as a dead cert. Holland and Costa Rica - the experience of the Dutch, led by LVG, against the surprise package in Costa Rica. I think this is where the Costa Rican run will come to an end, the Dutch have a hunger about them, backed up by the flair of Robben and the Goals from RVP, take a Dutch win with both teams to score at odds of 3/1 12th July sees the Darley cup take place, and I can’t see past Paddy Powers mums horse, Slade Power. The double is on the cards after winning the Diamond Jubilee stakes. Currently trading at 5/2, however, wait until the day of the race for this one, and get guaranteed odds. I think it will open around 11/4 or 3/1 , so even if it shortens up, you will still be guaranteed the higher price (not available with ante-post betting) By Odds correct at time of going to print Only gamble with money you can afford to lose

There are lots of everyday contentions and competitions between Scotland’s biggest two Cities’ in relation to business and commerce – this weekend things turn serious and highly focused on the speedway track as Glasgow host rivals Edinburgh in what will be the most hotly contested Premier League match of the campaign so far.
With the Allied Vehicles Tigers having gradually improved their home form around their Ashfield Stadium circuit in recent weeks – winning their last three home league encounters – Glasgow fans will be hoping that their favourites have timed the visit of dearest rivals, the Monarchs, to perfection. However, with the capital club yet to suffer defeat, home or away, since their 2014 season started some 22 matches ago in April, Sunday’s first Scottish Speedway derby league clash of the season has all the makings of a sensational spectacle. Tigers, who have had to contend with weather interruptions to their season
Top seeds crash out of Wimbledon The second week of Wimbledon has certainly seen a few upsets, as defending champion and home favourite Andy Murray crashed out in straight sets following a below par performance against the Grigor Dimtrov.

Undoubtedly Tigers will require the best possible performances from each of their remaining team members,

One of the greatest upsets in Wimbledon history occurred the day before Andy Murray played, as reigning world number one and

With Rusty Harrison, Kevin Wolbert and Anders Thomsen all highly capable of some spectacular racing on the pacey Ashfield circuit, the Tigers will look to make it a hot afternoon for the unbeaten Edinburgh side.

WORLD CUP ROUND UP!
Warriors host Harlequins Rangers re-sign Kris Boyd Latest betting tips for the week ahead
Rangers set to face Hibs in Petrofac Training Cup 4th July - 11th July 2014 | Issue 77 | Published by West of Scotland Media
Ally McCoist and Alan Stubbs will have swallowed hard after seeing their Rangers and Hibs teams drawn against each other in the first round of the newly sponsored Scottish Challenge Cup. Fans of both Rangers and Hibs will see this game as a marker for the rest of the season, and is a real test for both Alan Stubbs and Ally McCoist at a time in the season when the players would have been hoping to ease themselves back into full match fitness. Alan Stubbs will be looking to impress the Easter Road faithful
after being appointed Head Coach following Terry Butchers disastrous reign at the club, which resulted in Hibs being relegated and he being dismissed at the tail end of last season. If Stubbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hibs team can see off Rangers in arguably their first competitive game of the season, it will go a long way to winning over the Easter Road fans. Who are still slightly sceptical of his
appointment due to Stubbs lack of managerial experience. Ally McCoist will also be hoping for a winning start to the season, and to give the Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller mk 2 partnership an early run out. The Rangers manager will be hoping that the duoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal scoring prowess is still as formidable as it once was. Although McCoist will be given a fresh slate to begin this season, if the
Rangers team get off to a poor start by losing to Hibs and then Hearts on the opening game of the season, the Rangers manager will not have his woes to seek. It will quickly become a very unstable throne he sits on in the Ibrox kingdom. With the cup game being postponed from the 26th July thanks to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The time between Rangers playing Hibs in the Challenge Cup and then
Hearts in the first league game of the season, could be a matter of days. The Rangers fans will not accept any less than concurrent wins against the Edinburgh pair, and if McCoist and his men fail to do so, it could be a rough beginning to a long season for the Ibrox giants, in their quest to once again reach the peak of Scottish football.
