BBC set to strike during Commonwealth Games
Journalists and technicians at Glasgow’s BBC Pacific Quay headquarters have agreed to go on strike along with thousands of other BBC journalists and technicians across Britain. The strike which will coincide with opening ceremony of Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games is being blamed on the BBC’s refusal to increase pay for journalists and technicians in the corporation. The NUJ, Bectu and Unite are aiming to walk out around midday on July 23rd due to the ongoing financial dialogue with the BBC. Staff at the BBC believe that they have been unfairly paid and for the last five years have suffered below inflation pay deals, its is also argued that the BBC could in fact be able to pay more.
The pay rise offered by the BBC is £650 increase for anyone who earns less than £50,000 pounds a year and £500 for employees who earn more than £50,000 pounds. Members of the NUJ overwhelmingly voted in favour of strike action 77% per cent in favour, Bectu members also favoured strike action, with 79% per cent voting in favour of strike action. Gerry Morrisey, general secretary of Bectu, said “The BBC can find money for vanity projects, but it cannot find money for staff, whose pay has dropped by 10 per cent in the last five years.”

Diarrhoea and vomiting bug hits Athletes Village
The Athletes Village for the Commonwealth Games has been hit with an outbreak of diarrhoea and vomiting, affecting workers at the site. Organisers of the event have said they have been made aware and are investigating. Residents staying at the site in Dalmarnock have been advised to stay in their room and to contact officials if they need help. The athletes are due to arrive soon for the Games, which starts next week. The illness is likely to be the Norovirus - also known as winter vomiting, gastric flu and norwalk-like virus. It can survive in all kinds of environments and is highly infectious. It usually occurs in enclosed spaces, like cruise ships and hospitals, and there aren’t normally any long-term side effects. A spokesman for Glasgow 2014 said: “We have
been made aware of a small number of diarrhoea and vomiting cases being reported from workforce in the village, which we are investigating.” It has been reported that an advisory message had been sent to people at the village as the virus could be “highly contagious”. The advisory reads: “Any village resident with any signs or symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting should stay in their rooms and contact the polyclinic for assistance by telephone or through their team management. “Workforce should notify their manager and avoid coming into work. If symptoms appear while on shift, workforce should contact their supervisor. “Please remind your teams about adopting good practice in the use of regular hand-washing and sanitiser.” By

Celtic Park...Let The Games Begin! Celtic Park will host the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games and is currently home to Celtic Football Club.
Home to Celtic Football Club since 1892, Celtic Park will broadcast the opening of the Commonwealth Games on a 100 ft wide screen which will cover almost the entire South Stand. Celtic Park’s Commonwealth Opening Ceremony will transform the South Stand into Glasgow’s Window on the Commonwealth, and the previously mentioned 100 ft LED backdrop will be the largest screen of its kind ever seen in Europe. Celtic Park will sail into the record books due to the sheer size of the LED screen and as well as this organisers will aim to completely immerse the
capacity crowd in a dramatic visual experience. The estimated billion people audience will not be left disappointed as the magical events unfold in the stadium and on the screens of the viewers at home. With the Athletes Village, Celtic Park and the Velodrome being situated within walking distance of each other, athletes will be able to flit between the three venues with ease. Celtic Park is also easily reached through public transport services, although organisers have warned that Celtic Park will have parking limited to blue badge holders, and for safety reasons no parking on site. It is recommended that all patrons take advantage of the free public transport on offer, with every valid commonwealth ticket.

Don’t give fire a sporting chance Scottish Fire and Rescue Service urge visitors to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable Commonwealth Games
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) will play a significant role in ensuring a safe and secure Commonwealth Games. As part of that remit, firefighters are offering key advice to visitors to help them be safe during their stay in Scotland. Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay, Director of Prevention and Protection, said: “The Commonwealth Games will be the biggest event ever hosted in Glasgow and we want visitors staying in Scotland to enjoy the experience safely. “We would also urge anyone looking after visitors during the
Commonwealth Games to pay special heed to our fire safety guidance to help protect themselves, their guests and their property from the potentially devastating effects of fire.”
The Commonwealth Games take place between 23 July and 3 August. It is expected that tens of thousands of visitors and spectators will travel to Glasgow and the various other sites hosting events to enjoy the atmosphere during what will be the largest multisport event ever held in Scotland. ACO Ramsay added: “We want everyone visiting Scotland to remember our key fire safety advice so they can enjoy their time here safely. The main thing to remember is, in the event of a fire, get out, stay out and call 999 for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.”
The Service’s key safety messages also advise: • Ensure you know the fire safety arrangements and escape routes of any accommodation you are staying in, including campsites and buildings you are visiting • Write down your address so you can give accurate information about your location in the event of a fire • If you see or suspect fire, dial 999 and ask for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service • In public buildings, including games venues, if you discover a fire, sound the alarm (break-glass call point), leave the building immediately and report to the assembly point • If you are self-catering, remember

The SSE Hydro is third most popular venue in world
Glasgow’s SSE Hydro stadium is now among the most popular venues in the world according to a recent survey. Around 535,000 tickets have been sold for the SSE Hydro in Glasgow this year so far.
60% of house fires are caused when cooking – don’t leave cookers switched on and unattended • When cooking or smoking avoid excessive alcohol consumption or use of drugs as this can make you more vulnerable to an accidental fire • Make sure there is at least one working smoke alarm on each level of the accommodation you are staying in • Discuss how you and your family would escape if a fire started – have a fire escape plan and agreed meeting point in the event of an emergency. More information on visitor fire safety is available on our Glasgow 2014 page on our website www.firescotland.gov.uk
The venue, which has the capacity of 13,000, opened last year and acts including Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Prince have played concerts there. Pollstar carried out a poll, which compiled the ticket sale number. It came third, with the O2 has been the biggest selling venue, with 919,900 tickets sold so far. The Phones 4U Arena in Manchester came second.
The Hydro will be used in the Commonwealth Games, and will hots the gymnastics and the netball.
John Langford, director of live entertainment at the Hydro, said: “To have reached number three on the Pollstar rankings in less than a year since opening is incredible and demonstrates just how well the venue has been adopted by Scottish fans. “Glasgow and the SSE Hydro are firmly established as major players in this exciting industry.” By

Strathclyde Country Park The picturesque Strathclyde Country Park is going to be a perfect setting for the Triathlon event. Located on the south-east of Glasgow, the park is a popular choice to carry out sporting events, such as rowing, sailing and cycling to name a few. For the Triathlon competition, the swimming will take place in Strathclyde Loch, with a 1,500-metre open-water swim. They will then be switching to a 40-kilometre road cycle and finishing with a 10-kilometre run, which will be carried out along the surrounding roads and pathways. Scotland’s number one triathlete David McNamee will be joined by the world’s leading triathletes, Alistair and Jonathan Brownlie who will be representing England at the Games.
This year will be the first time a Mixed Team Relay is part of the Commonwealth Games. This involves a team of two men and two women who each complete a ‘super sprint’ triathlon of swimming, cycling and running before handing over to their next team mate.

Margaret Curran MP In just a few days’ time, on 23rd July, the eyes of the world will be on the east end of Glasgow as Celtic Park hosts the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony. The ceremony will be the culmination of over 8 years of effort, beginning with Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government’s 2006 bid application. Since the Games were awarded to Glasgow back in 2007, new facilities, infrastructure, apprenticeship schemes and community-led projects have transformed the city for the better. In the east end we now have a world class International Swimming Centre in Tollcross, a state of the art Velodrome and Sports Centre in Parkhead and new hockey and football facilities at Glasgow Green. These facilities have already sparked a huge upsurge in the number of local people taking part in sport or exercise, with visits to Glasgow Life up 12% in a year. But as welcome as this is, it will be a wasted opportunity if it is not the beginning of a Commonwealth legacy
for the city. That is why Glasgow City Council’s array of ground-breaking apprenticeship schemes are so vital. In the four years to January 2014, 3000 school leavers were granted modern apprenticeships through the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative, 400 graduates gained employment through the Commonwealth Graduate Fund and 600 previously unemployed Glaswegians enrolled in the Commonwealth Jobs Fund. Although this is a good start, there is much more work ahead to ensure that communities throughout Glasgow not only benefit from a real and lasting legacy in years to come, but also play a role in shaping it. Despite the positives, it is also clear that the logistics of hosting the Games have caused a great deal of disruption to residents and businesses, particularly in the east end. Clearly this is regrettable and I would have liked communication between the games organisers and those affected to have been much better. If you have a particular concern about travel arrangements during the Games, you may wish to visit http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/glasgow2014 for more information. Although the Commonwealth Games will grab most of the headlines, it is by no means the only show in town this summer. I am pleased that Scotland will once again host the Ryder Cup and, of course, the Independence Referendum campaign is really starting to heat up. So whilst I’ll stop short of predicting who will win the golf, one thing’s certain – it’s going to be an exciting next few months.

On your marks - get set - GlasGO! Barry Buddon Shooting Centre Barry Buddon Training Area will host the shooting events for the Commonwealth Games. Although technically not in Glasgow, the Shooting Centre is highly regarded and since 1897 has been owned by the Ministry of Defence.
Dating back to around 1850, the area has trained riflemen from many era, the Forfarshire Rifle Volunteers, Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, Forfarshire Artillery Brigade and also a Royal Naval Reserve Battery. In 1897 the site was sold to the War Office for use as a military area and remained in its possession to this very day. Previously used for the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games in 1986 the site is protected by virtue of its being designated Site of Special Scientific Interest(SSSI) as well as being an EU Special Area of Conservation(SAC). It is also considered a Special Protection Area for birds under the European Birds Directive. The area has more than 20 shooting
ranges, ranging from light infantry to full anti tank weapons. Forty of the 71 teams participating in the Games are contesting in the Shooting events. The four events are Clay Target, Full Bore, Pistol and Small Bore.
Royal Commonwealth Pool
The Clay Target(also known as clay pigeon shooting) is the art of shooting a moving clay target, fired into the sky, if the athlete successfully makes contact with the target a puff of smoke will be seen to come off the target. Full Bore is unique to the Commonwealth Games, it features athletes having to aim at targets from a variety of distances and this type of event only appears in the Commonwealth Games. Pistol and Small Bore involves athletes hitting stationary targets across distances ranging from ten to 50 metres. Both competitions requires patience, concentration and control to guarantee a high score. Pistol and Small Bore shooting is about target accuracy as much as it is making contact with the target.
Diving will be held at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. The Royal Commonwealth Pool offers a dramatic setting for the Diving competitions, with Arthur’s Seat outside and award-winning architecture inside. The original Royal Commonwealth Pool was designed by RMJM Architects in 1967 for the Edinburgh
INFORMATION
1970 Commonwealth Games. It has undergone major refurbishment, including the diving pool being upgraded to comply with international standards. There is a Royal park located in the close vicinity of the pool, Holyrood Park. Edinburgh is home to a host of fabulous attractions, including the iconic Edinburgh Castle.

The Royal Commonwealth Pool has been officially listed as a category A building. The Pool has received a series of awards, including a Structural Steel Design Award in 1970, a RIBA award in 1971, and a Civic Trust Award in 1972. Arthur’s Seat, located in Holyrood Park directly behind the Royal Commonwealth Pool, is an extinct volcano.

Fox fail in wiley takeover bid for Time Warner
Time Warner have announced that Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox empire failed in an audacious bid to takeover the company last month. Time Warner rejected the deal reportedly worth $80 billion dollars and have since announced that they are in no further discussion with the Australian magnate’s company. Time Warner, which is the third most successful broadcasting and cable companies, behind The Walt Disney Company and Comcast, employs more than 34,000 staff and has a revenue of $29.7 billion dollars per year. 21st Century Fox is the company created after judges demanded that News Corporation be split into two smaller companies. 21st Century Fox are owners of the Fox network, Fox News and have nearly a forty percent stake in BSkyB. Time Warner are responsible for TBS, HBO and Warner Brothers amongst others and refused to accept 21st
Century Fox’s offer of $85 dollars per share. Although Time Warner only released the news of the attempted takeover recently, Jeff Bewkes Chief Executive at Time Warner admitted he pondered over the deal for a month before deciding it wasn’t in the companies best interest to allow the merger. A statement released on behalf of Time Warner said “after lengthy discussions we have decided it was not in our best interests or those of its shareholders to accept the proposal or to pursue any further discussion with Fox.” After the announcement Time Warner’s shares jumped 16% per cent to $89.39 while Fox’s shares dropped 4.9% per cent to $33.47. If the merger had been successful, the two companied combined would have become one of the biggest in history and reshaped the landscape of the television and entertainment industry.
Julian Assange arrest warrant upheld This week a Swedish judge has upheld an arrest warrant for allegations of rape faced by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who has been taking refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for the last two years. The warrant, which states that Mr Assange would be deported to Sweden to stand trial
was upheld after an appeal was lodged by the Wikileaks founders lawyers. Mr Assange is taking refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy to avoid being deported to Sweden and then to America where he is wanted over the release of thousands of previously confidential wire messages to the public. By

A ceasefire was negotiated on Tuesday night with the help of the Egyptian government, however it was rejected within hours of its announcement by Hamas who resumed rocket fire on Israel. Israel then responded with further air strikes on what it described as military targets.
The UN has estimated that 75% of the Palestinian casualties are civilians, mainly women and children who have been killed in indiscriminate air strikes in the crowded Gaza Strip.

The Scotstoun Sport Campus
The Scotstoun Sport Campus is now one of the biggest gyms in the city since its recent refurbishment. The campus will play host to both the Squash and the Table Tennis competitions. The venue, which is north of the River Clyde, is a popular resource within the community and is a great setting for the Games.
Spectators will be able to watch the Squash games on the all new purposebuilt Squash venue with six courts. There is also a glass-walled show court, which will provide a great view of the action. Two show courts and eight match courts will be used for the Table Tennis games.

The facility first opened it doors to the public in 1915. The Scotstoun Sports Campus is built on land that was once used as a venue for agricultural shows. A running track and grandstand had been installed and sporting events were regularly taking place there. The Scotstoun Stadium has been the official home of the Glasgow Warriors rugby team since 2012.

660 arrested in child abuse inquiry
More than 650 suspected paedophiles have been arrested in connection with accessing child abuse images online. The National Crime Agency (NCA) have revealed that those arrested included doctors, teachers, scout leaders, care workers and former police officers. The agency said that more than 400 children have been protected as a result. The arrests were made across the UK and the majority had no previous contacts with police. Officers have searched 833 properties and examined 9,172 computers, phones and hard drives. It has been revealed that 13 arrests were made in Scotland, 14 in Northern Ireland and 59 in Wales.
Two of the most notable changes were those of Michael Gove, the much maligned education secretary to the position of chief whip within the party and William Hague, who has came to be seen within the party and to traditional Tory voters as having been won over by Europe who was transferred to the position of leader of

Cannibal Nurse plotted to behead teenage girl
Prime Minister David Cameron said the NCA was “doing a very good job at bringing all the modern methods of policing and technology together to go after the perpetrators of a particularly horrible crime”. Claire Lilley, head of online safety at the NSPCC said the operation had rescued children from abuse. But she warned: “Industry has to find inventive ways of blocking the flow of such horrendous pictures which are only produced through the suffering of defenceless children - many of who are not even old enough to go to school. “So while this operation must be rightly applauded we should view it as yet another warning sign that far more needs to be done if we are to stem the sordid trade in these images, which are often used by those who go on to abuse children.”
A man with cannibalism fantasies planned to kill a 14-year-old girl before eating her, a court heard. Dale Bolinger, 57, was speaking to the girl on a fetish chat room, where he told her: “I’ll kill you then eat everything.” He arranged to meet the girl at a train station near where he lives in Kent. However, the girl failed to show up. The sickening conversation between the two leading up to the meeting reveals that Bolinger had told the girl: “Roasts, sausages even your offal. I’ve a great recipe for Haggis and Black (blood) pudding. You’ll be completely consumed.”

Figures released have that UK unemployment 121,000 to 2.12 million three months to May, figures have shown.
Aside from the two most notable changes in the cabinet, Cameron made a calculated decision to promote more women than ever before to the cabinet, raising the number from three to five, after surveys found that the Conservative party was lagging behind in polls amongst female voters, smashing the image that the cabinet under the Conservatives is the preserve of middle age, upper middle class white men.

Ibrox Stadium Attending the Games:
What you need to know
The famous Ibrox stadium will play host to the fifth Commonwealth Rugby Sevens competition over the first weekend of the games, showcasing a staggering 45 games over the course of the two days, Ibrox, traditionally home to Rangers Football Club, will be transformed into the spiritual home of Rugby Sevens for the weekend. The stadium is a perfect match to the game, promising commanding views
of the pitch no matter where one is seated thanks to the high sloping stands and creating a breathtaking atmosphere thanks to the compact design of the structure. Built in 1899, Ibrox is one of the oldest venues being used for the Games, the stadium is steeped in history and will no doubt infect the crowd with a boundless enthusiasm as so many fans in the stadium have experienced before, ensuring a thrilling Rugby Sevens tournament for anyone lucky enough to be in attendance.
If you are one of the lucky ones with a ticket to the Commonwealth Games, there are a few things to bear in mind before you go. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment of the event, all spectators will pass through an airport style screening process for prohibited and restricted items before being allowed into venues. This is a brief guide to attending the games, for each individual venue, please refer to the website for more information. Plan your journey, make sure you know where you are going and how to get there. Allow yourself plenty of time for travelling, queues and security checks. Entry gates will open two hours before each game starts. You are advised not to drive to the
venue, walking or cycling has been suggested as the best way to get there.
Visitors are not permitted to leave and re-enter most venues, so make sure you have everything you need with you. All bags will be searched, therefore bringing a bag may slow down your entry.

Petition Against Games Uniform
A petition has been set up in favour of scrapping the new uniforms for Team Scotland to wear during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. The uniform, designed by textile artist Jilli Blackwood, has received criticism for the design of the uniform, which will be worn by Team Scotland. The uniform features turquoise shirts worn with a fuchsia and navy kilt, with mustard coloured socks for the men. The women will wear turquoise wrap around dresses and a tartan shawl matching the kilts.

If you want to be in with a chance of getting your hands on either a £100, one of two £50 or one of five £20 vouchers for Alison Street Cleaners answer this simple question Which Scottish Athlete is the velodrome at the Emirates Arena named after? The petition on Change.org has been set up against the athletes wearing the uniform. At the time of going to print, the ‘Prevent the Use of the Jilli Blackwood Scotland Uniforms’ petition has received 27,800 votes. One comment on the website read “I’ve never known a Scotsman to look bad in a kilt - until now!” Another read “Truly the most horrendous articles of clothing I have ever had the misfortune of clapping my eyes on. Our athletes will be a laughing stock if they’re forced to strut about in these.”
Another described the uniforms as remind them of “ a really cheap air hostess uniform.” However, designer Blackwood stands by her design saying, “if everyone liked it, I wouldn’t be doing my job.” Athlete Charline Joine has also defended them, the cyclist said, “It’s refreshing and a definite surprise. I was expecting a kilt, but love the fact the girls are in dresses this time as it’s more feminine and it’s still got the blue of Scotland in it.”

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 are currently being installed in each of the city’s 11 stations, the first was officially unveiled last month 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 Goodlet from SFRS 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 eleven community fire stations. The working group have worked hard over the last few weeks to ensure that the installations went smoothly, all of the statues which have been chosen 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 Glasgow 2014. 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.
Easterhouse - depicting Badminton SFRS have been exceptionally 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 out and about in their distinctive SFRS Firereach t-shirts at the sporting venues. 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”.

FRIDAY 18 - THURSDAY 24 JULY
Dwayne Johnson’s Hercules battles terrifying foes in a fresh and visceral new take on this legendary action hero. Having completed his character-defining twelve labours, tormented Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) has become a battle-weary warrior who leads a band of mercenaries. The King of Thrace (John Hurt) calls upon him to help end a bloody civil conflict by defeating a savage, brutal warlord. Now Hercules must find the strength to become a hero again. But this will not simply be a battle against a formidable enemy, but a fight for his very soul! ‘Fast & Furious’ star Dwayne Johnson underwent eight months of serious working out for his role as the legendary Greek demi-god tough guy. ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ director Brett Ratner brilliantly conjures up such mythological enemies as the hydra and gargantuan boar, while rooting his ‘Hercules’ in heartpounding, grittily realistic warfare. The exceptional supporting cast includes Brits Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell and Joseph Fiennes.
HOUSE OF MAGIC A stray cat seeks shelter in a magician’s house full of animals and crazy gizmos in this enchanting family animation. Adorable abandoned ginger cat Thunder (Murray Blue) is seeking shelter from a storm when he tumbles into a creepy old house. This is the home of retired magician Lawrence (Doug Stone), aka ‘The Illustrious Lorenzo’! He shares it with a menagerie of beasts and a whole host of amazing automatons. Ginger isn’t popular with some of the other residents, especially Maggie the mouse (Shanelle Gray) and Jack the rabbit (George Babbit). But their plans to get rid of him take a back seat when Lawrence’s scheming nephew Daniel (Grant George) tries to trick him into selling their home. Now everyone must band together to scare the willies out of prospective purchasers! This is a fun-packed family adventure from the people who gave us ‘Fly Me to the Moon.
EARTH TO ECHO A trio of kids find their lives changed forever when they befriend an alien being with amazing powers! Tuck (Astro), Munch (Reese Hartwig) and Alex (Teo Halm) are at a crossroads in their young lives. Fed up with being well-behaved nobodies, they face separation when a massive highway construction project forces their families to move away. With just two days to go before this big upheaval, the lads find a curious signal on their mobile phones. Filming their adventure, they head into the desert to trace its source. Here they find an alien entity that seems to be stranded on Earth. They call their new friend Echo and find that it has incredible abilities. But sinister government forces are also on Echo’s tail! This first feature from a talented writer/director team features a fresh young cast and balances breathtaking ‘Transformers’-style sci fi with a heartfelt story of childhood friendship.
THE PURGE
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
America’s annual night of mayhem gets even scarier in this edge-of-seat sequel to the futuristic horror hit. In nearfuture America, the Purge has become established as a national event. Each year, all crime is legal during one allocated twelve-hour period - even murder. Emergency services are suspended and ordinary citizens are warned to keep off the streets to avoid getting caught up in the carnage. But for one young couple (Zack Gilford, Kiele Sanchez) in Los Angeles, disaster strikes when their car breaks down just as the Purge begins. Elsewhere in the city, an armed man (Frank Grillo) takes to the streets bent on revenge and two women (Carmen Ejogo, Zoe Soul) are dragged from their home by sinister uniformed figures. The fight for survival has begun! Writer/director James DeMonaco’s dystopian nightmare thriller ‘The Purge’ was a surprise box office hit last year. Now he returns to amp up the tension with this nerve-shredding sequel.

t’s amazing to think that the Roman emperor Hadrian once built a wall to keep the Scots out – now, in 2014, it’s they who will be fighting off invaders from other lands.With the Commonwealth Games just around the corner, it’s a year of tremendous importance for Scotland, and one which will entice no end of visitors. Host city Glasgow has already witnessed a wealth of events throughout the summer as part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme, with theatre, dance, art installations and more making the city an even more vibrant and exciting place than usual.At the other end of the M8, meanwhile, Edinburgh is more
used to being a cultural hub – it’s home to the largest annual cultural festival in the world, the Edinburgh Festival, every August.And there’s so much planned for this year’s event that it looks like being the biggest and best one yet. Before any of that kicks off, though, the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade bears witness to a spectacular concert boasting a glittering array of big names as a wide range of musical and comedy acts perform on stage for the BBC in Live at Edinburgh Castle, Saturday, BBC1, 8.30pm. They include soul legend Smokey Robinson, Leeds-based indie rock outfit Kaiser Chiefs, chart superstar Jessie J, 1980s

Presented by The One Show’s Alex Jones – who launched the event at the city’s famous landmark along with MacAulay and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson back in June – the show is not to be missed lightly. In fact, possibly the only reason for not tuning in is if you have tickets.Alex says “I am so excited to be presenting Live At Edinburgh Castle with such an incredible line-up. I can't imagine a better backdrop than Edinburgh. It is going to be a fantastic night for those coming along or watching at home.”

Kerrie Hayes The Mill Channel 4, 8pm The catchphrase “trouble at t’mill” may have been coined back in 1967 on the early John Thaw series Inheritance, but it might as well have been created purely for this show, which began last year – for not only is it centred around a mill, but there’s also frequently trouble at it. As the 19th-century period drama returns for a second run, that trouble takes the form of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which has led to desperate economic migrants from the South arriving at Quarry Bank in search of jobs – which could end up leading to a drop in wages.

The Big Fake Tan Guide:
Par t 2
Best Lotion Tan James Read Sleep Mask Tan Body, jamesreadtan.com
£40.00
Out of all the lotion tans I tested out this was by far the best. The silky clear gel slided on, soothing the skin and a small amount went far. I applied it with a mitt (be careful when applying as it’s not tinted so you can’t see where you’ve put it) and it dried quickly. The colour had started showing after a few hours and it developed into a darker shade by the next morning. It’s quite pricey for a fake tan but I am really impressed with this colour and it made my skin feel nice and soft!
Best Spray Tan For All My Eternity Spray Tan forallmyeternity.com
£24.99
www.glasgow-news.com If you read last week’s Life & Style section, you will have seen Part One of our Bike Fake Tan Guide, where I was testing out Best Mousse, Best Face and Best Instant tan. So, if you’re a big fake tan fan like I am, I hope it helps! Welcome to our final part of our Big Fake Tan Guide! By
Kaitlin McManus
The best thing about trying new brands, is when you come across a product that you love! This spray is by far the best i’ve tried. I sprayed it on my mitt and it was easy to apply. There is a slight tint which is great so you can see where you are applying it to prevent leaving streaks. It is really moisturising and dried quickly. I tried the medium-dark, which developed into a gorgeous deep bronze colour, and was long lasting. Overall, I am very impressed, and I will be trying more from For All My Eternity in the the future.
Best Overall Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan Superdrug
£7.99
Now this is a product that I am REALLY excited about. I discovered Cocoa Brown around Christmas time when I was drawn to the bright pink packaging while I was browsing my local Superdrug. As it was fairly new, I hadn’t heard anything about it before so I was apprehensive when I first used it. However, my nerves were soon settled. I have tried every tan in the range and my favourite is the 1 hour tan. It gives a beautiful colour and guess what... It smells amazing! Never in my life have I found a fake tan that smells nice - and i’ve been using fake tan for almost 8 years! It is really easy to apply, it skooshes out like a hair mousse, in the way it swells up when it comes out. I’ve tried both Original and Dark, and I love both. In my opinion, this is my favourite everyday tanner.
Beauty Tips and Tricks of the Trade... Want the tricks that professional makeup artists use for a flawless finish and jaw-dropping glamour? Make Up Artist Gemma Elizabeth shares a few of her secrets with us...
Use a Serum!
Layer your Mascaras!
Eyebrows are Essential!
I first discovered this beauty secret around a year ago when I had terrible acne scarring on my face and was ready to try anything! A serum is formulated with smaller molecules than a moisturiser, so can penetrate deeper into the skin, allowing the skin to be repaired.
I don’t use one individual mascara; I use three - three different wands, for three different effects. You can buy mascaras on the market that
Never forget about the brows! Remember the eyebrows shape the face in the same way that a frame does with a picture. Make sure you get the right shape for your face, as not everyone is going to suit that famous high arch! Fill in the brows with a product that works for you; gel, pencil or powder.
Exfoliate your face and body! Exfoliating your skin helps to remove dead skin cells, and lets the fresh skin underneath breathe, as well as allowing your moisturising to absorb better. The standard is to exfoliate twice a week, but I use an exfoliating brush which allows you to softly exfoliate the skin every day. It’s important to exfoliate the rest of your skin too. Be sure to moisturise the skin after exfoliating and after every time you cleanse the skin.
Face Mists
do several in one, but I much prefer the effect of using a light coat of each of them individually. I use one to define the lash, one to curl and lengthen, and one to volumise. This prevents the clumping effect caused by applying too many coats of the same mascara.
Different from Setting Sprays, these are products that help keep you cool and keep your skin hydrated and makeup fresh when out in that glorious Scottish sun! To get in touch with Gemma, you can email her info@gemmaelizabeth.co.uk, phone 07873 416683 or go to her www.gemmaelizabeth.co.uk
Scent your home this summer…
When I heard that Baylis & Harding had brought out a new home fragrance range, I was very excited. As a fan of the body lotion and hand soaps, I was very excited when a candle and room diffuser arrived and I couldn’t wait to try them out. Both scented with the restful fragrance of Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit, the smell hit me as soon as I opened the candle. It smelled good enough to eat. There was nothing better, after a long day at the office, coming home and being welcomed with the subtle yet fruity fragrance. With a zesty spice, it is perfect for summer, because unlike a festive spiced apple, the blend of jasmine and sweet mandarin, grapefruit and lemon makes for a light summery scent. Stylish and oozing luxury, the range is perfect for creating a soothing atmosphere. With a minimum burning time of 30 hours, I have been burning the candle for a few hours at a time to make it last. Rotating the sticks in the diffuser every so often will ensure the fragrance can be released. The Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Diffuser, By Kaitlin £15, and McManus the Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Single Wick Candle, £8, are available from stores nationwide.

Having a ‘Stay-Cation’
What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word summer? I don’t know about you, but for me it’s one word and one word only. Holiday. Summer is the best time to go abroad, hit the beach and forget about work. But what if you are not going away? Don’t despair, more people are opting to stay closer to home rather than go abroad. Here are our top picks for going on a ‘stay-cation’ in the UK! By
Kaitlin McManus
Edinburgh
Cardiff
Liverpool
Why not pack a wee case and head through to Edinburgh? It’s not far, so it’s perfect for new parents leaving the baby for the first time or with wee ones nervous with sleepovers. If you are splashing out, treat yourselves to the Balmoral Hotel. On a budget? There are plenty of budget hotels and B&B’s. Take a venture up Princes Street and have a laugh at all the cheesy Scottish souvenirs, visit the Edinburgh Castle then find a wee pub somewhere for a well earned glass of wine, cheers!
Shopaholic? Then get yourself to Cardiff. The Welsh city is in the top ten shopping destinations in Britain. For high street treats, head to St David’s Shopping Centre. Looking for something vintage or a bit different?
If you’re a big Beatles fan, Liverpool is for you! Check out the Casbah Coffee Club where it all began, where the Beatles started playing as a band. You can also have a tour with The National Trust of Mendips, which is John Lennon’s childhood home. Visiting with a footie fan?
The Victorian arcades are the place for you. There are six arcades bustling with vintage clothes stores, craft shops and – to rest your feet – coffee shops.
Visit LFC Museum and Tour Centre for a tour behind the scenes, visit the dressing room (it will be player-free i’m afraid ladies!) and take a seat in the Manager’s dug out.
The Power of Protein As any regular gym goer will tell you, protein shakes actually make a huge difference to your gym experience. Less muscle ache, more noticeable results, quicker recovery time, definite essential, gym, nutritional value. The only problem with knowing that protein shakes are beneficial to your well worked body is having the knowledge of knowing which one to buy. There are quite simply hundreds of protein options to choose from. Lean, Whey, Diet Whey, Total Protein, Vegetarian, Vegan, or Soy, and literally dozens or possibly hundreds of different proteins to choose from. After dabbling in several varieties on Myprotein.com I found Hurricane
XS which seems to have been the perfect mix for post workout ache, Currently its also less pricey than many of the other websites (currently less than £30 pounds at Myprotein. com). 29.6 grams of protein in each 70g serving alongside 20.3g of Carbohydrates, the fat content is an excellent 2.5g of fat, which is far lower than many of the other varieties. Taste wise, there are countless to choose from ranging from chocolate to blueberry, or mocha to maple pecan, you will find a flavour of your fancy. Choosing chocolate I was very pleased with the flavour, tasting not to dissimilar to chocolate milkshake and without any clumps or bits to do battle with.
Personal choice leads me to drink the shake with water (and the milk might get warm by the time I finish a workout). Compared to some of the other shakes I’ve tried Hurricane XS, ticks all the boxes, especially if like me, you’re looking for lean gains, and not wanting to bulk up to the shape of the incredible hulk. Stomach wise, there is very little or no extra gaseous escapes (no noticeably extra farting!) All in all. For gradual, natural, noticeable, muscle gains, less two day ache, less flatulence than some others and a taste that is quite pleasant. Myprotein.com’s Hurricane XS will be hard to beat. Highly recommended. By

Grand Designs property performs poorly on the market A Kilcreggan property 40 miles outside of Glasgow, which was featured on Grand Designs in 2004 has re-appeared on the market for an asking price £5000 below what it cost to build the property a decade ago.
According to the price quoted on the 2004 episode of the popular home design programme, which was £380,000, the property has bucked the trend of appreciating values for Scottish prime property being offered for just £375,000. The property is being sold by it’s original owners who featured on Grand Designs 10 years ago according to the prime property specialist agents Savills. The Kilcreggan property has fared extremely poorly in comparison to other properties which have featured on Grand Designs, with the vast majority of them having
either doubled their value or at least appreciated in value to some degree. Some of the properties have increased their value by as much as £1 million since being sold on, however the Scottish market which has up until recently been unaffected by the independence referendum is starting to show signs of shakiness, due to uncertainty around financial issues such as currency and the possibility of a rate increase, particularly in the
MA S DIS SIVE CO SU UN MM TS! ER
prime market. Andrew Perratt, head of residential sales for Savills in Scotland said: ‘The market’s definitely in recovery mode but with this referendum hanging over us, there’s been very little growth in value. Following the referendum, if there is a no vote, the market will recover and recover very quickly but if there is a yes vote, there will be a few more years of uncertainty.’ By

Sealed bids making a comeback In a sure sign that the property market is starting to make a come back and build steam despite the efforts of Mark Carney and the Bank of England, sealed bids on properties are making a comeback across the country, particularly in London where the property market is heating up to boiling point.
A sealed bid is for some the most risky but at times rewarding for those astute enough to judge the value of the property and what other buyers are willing to pay for it. In a sealed bid scenario, potential
Seven figure sum in damages awarded to aristocrat
buyers place their bid into a sealed envelope, pass it on to the sellers and hope that they have outbid their rivals and bagged a deal at the same time. In such a bid, there are no competing bids, no negotiations after the offer has been put forward and no knowledge of what other interested parties have bid, leading to a windfall for the property seller who can secure the highest price for their property in an extremely short space of time without having to deal with competing offers. According to reports, the numbers of sealed bids particularly in London where competition for property is fierce, has matched that of 2007, when
TO LET
the market was at it’s absolute peak. However, there can be some problems with the sealed bid system, such as when a seller accepts the highest bid on a property, there is no guarantee that the accepted bidder will pay up if they feel that they are going to be paying well above the perceived value of the property. There are also problems for the buyer as the vendor may end up accepting a bid after the sealed bids have been revealed to them as the system is not legally binding in any way until contracts are signed.

On Monday of this week aristocrat Edward Iliffe, heir to his great-grandfathers newspaper fortune, was awarded an undisclosed seven figure sum in reparations from a building company which was found responsible for his £4 million island retreat burning down in 2012. The company was found to have been responsible for the incorrect installation of a wood burner and accompanying flue which were found

to be the cause of the fire. At the time of the fire the £4 million property was in the final stages of construction, when the property caught fire, 45 fire men had to be ferried out to the private island to extinguish the blaze that resulted in the total destruction of the home. The company put forward the defence that it was a sub contractor acting on their behalf and that the installation of the wood burner and flue was done without a proper contract being in place. By

My Car Check Prius Plug-In sets publishes record for fuel economy at the ‘Ring used car buying statistics
This week in a change of pace from the usual news from the ‘Green Hell’, Toyota has set a new never before measured record at the Nurburgring for, of all things, fuel efficiency. The eco conscious manufacturer set out to challenge conventions at the most hallowed altar of speed in the world by pulling off the most sensible lap of the track ever. The test which was intended to replicate the average commute thanks to the ‘Ring’s 1000ft elevation change and mix of fast and slow corners, was carried out in accordance with the usual rules and regulations on a public day at the track including the 60 km/h minimum average speed. The engineers at Toyota were confident that the Prius-Plug In would be capable of completing an entire lap of the track using nothing but battery power, with the Nordschleife coming in at 12.9 miles, right on the boundary of the battery power range. According to Toyota, the Prius used in the test received no special modifications or tweaks apart from some low rolling resistance tyres and some choice aesthetic modifications courtesy of TRD. The driver selected for the test was renowned motoring journalist and Japanese car expert Joe Clifford. During his lap in the car, Joe, managed to hit a staggering
698mpg smashing the official figures provided by Toyota of 134mpg on a combined cycle of a similar distance, according to Toyota technicians, the car used less than five tablespoons of fuel to complete its sedate tour of the Nordschleife. Toyota are saying that what made this possible is the combination of their latest 1.8l petrol unit paired up with the latest in lithium-ion battery technology, which provides a higher energy density than previous batteries used in Prius’. This new battery tech allows the new model to travel further and faster on battery power alone. Clifford spoke after the test saying: ‘Although the 12.9-mile distance is similar to a typical commuter trip, the difference here is a rise and fall in elevation of around 1,000 feet. In fact it was only on one long climb that the petrol engine cut in, and then only for a short while. Without that, we think we might have even achieved the ultimate 999.9mpg readout – the highest figure the display can show. We used no special tricks for this test. We simply took a fully charged car, fitted it with low rolling resistance tyres and drove the lap, among all the other public drivers taking the opportunity to experience the challenge of the Nürburgring.’ By

Leading consumer vehicle data provider My Car Check has published a number of statistics on the used car market and the risks of buying a car without being informed on the vehicles history. In the statistics released by the company which uses the police’s vehicle registration database show’s that in the last two years the number of vehicles with an adverse history marker, i.e a vehicle that has been stolen, previously written off or is subject to an unpaid finance agreement, has increased by over two percent to 21.69% of vehicles on UK roads. In a break down it shows that the number of cars shown as written off in the last two years has increased to 15.04 percent, meaning a larger number of cars are either being restored after a serious accident or that their plates have been cloned. The number of cars which have been classed as still being subject to financial payments has increased by two percent to 6.55% and the number of cars that have been reported as stolen and are being resold has fallen to a paltry 0.87%.
Roger Powell, Divisional Head at CDL Vehicle Information Services, which owns MyCarCheck.com, commented: ‘Since the summer of 2012, we’ve seen an increase in the percentage of cars with adverse history, particularly in the previously written-off and finance debt categories. The good news for used car buyers is the percentage of checks showing a stolen marker has fallen slightly over the last couple of years. However, with criminals increasingly using high tech equipment to steal cars, establishing whether your potential pride and joy is stolen remains a key reason to check before you buy. The vehicle provenance industry used to be all about confirming if a car had been written-off or stolen. Today a major part of our business is flagging up that a vehicle has finance debt against it. Used car buyers need to be aware that the registered keeper of a vehicle – the name on the V5C form, the logbook – is not necessarily the legal owner. Unlike a personal loan, under both PCP and HP the finance company often retains legal ownership of the vehicle’ By

Research reveals heart VW Group overrules head when announce half year stats choosing a new car
This week the Volkswagen Group announced it’s half year growth and vehicle delivery statistics, citing nearly five million vehicles delivered in the first half of 2014. Overall the company delivered 4.97 million vehicles to customers across the globe in the period of January to June, claiming a 5.9% increase over the same period in 2013.
New research reveals Brits choose car comfort over safety, design over insurance cost and gadgets over fuel efficiency. A new study published by high value motor insurer Hiscox shows that our heart rules our head when it comes to buying a car. While we want to believe we are acting rationally, the report shows much of the decision is actually based on emotions. The Hiscox Head vs. Heart Motor study lifts the lid on the conscious and subconscious influences that come into play when we buy a car, with some surprising results. Its findings show that people say that the responsible ‘head’ factors such as reliability, value, safety, insurance premiums, fuel efficiency and shape are more important to them. However the research uncovered that a number of ‘heart’ factors are more important to people than they admit. These ‘heart’ factors were comfort, interior design, the manufacturer, colour, gadgets and speed. Rather than relying on verbal responses alone, the Hiscox study
also tested subconscious attitudes, since 90% of thought processes underlying decision-making happen unconsciously. The research reveals some fascinating contradictions. Although people said reliability, value for money and fuel efficiency were the most important to them, their subconscious thought was focusing on entirely different things – comfort, reliability and safety. If we let our hearts rule, we would base our decisions on these last three factors. Reliability was closest to male hearts, while women subconsciously preferred comfort. Dr David Lewis, author of The Brain Sell and MD at Mindlab, the research agency involved in this study, explained: “Even when making a costly purchase like a car, most of our buying decisions are unconscious. People believe they buy with logic and analysed thought but we can clearly see this isn’t so. If we bought solely on facts, we’d be dissatisfied, as we would be masking the real decision making process. “When questioned about their car
preferences people tend to provide socially acceptable answers and to remain silent about any responses they feel might put them in a bad light. In this study though, we used sophisticated techniques to discover subconscious feelings and emotions. We found age differences, regional differences and even gender differences – such as speed being an important factor to men at a subconscious level in the same way as design is to women.” Steve Morse, Head of Motor at Hiscox UK, commented: “Buying a car is a multi-sensory experience. Our study shows that we have an emotive response to cars; it is not just the way the car looks but how the engine sounds, the upholstery feels and smells, the way the steering wheel feels beneath the hands, as well as the subjective value of how we feel behind the wheel. Subconsciously, we let our hearts rule our heads and are going to be guided more by our emotional reaction than our rational response the next time we go to buy a car.”
The company also increased sales in June by 3.9% over last year with 859,400 vehicles being delivered in that month alone. Volkswagen Group board member Christian Klingler said: ‘The Volkswagen Group showed
satisfactory development in the first half year even though market conditions were at times difficult. However, the economic environment on some world markets remains tense’ in a statement following the announcement. According to the statistical break down, Western Europe accounted for just under two million of their world sales with the East Asia including China markets taking delivery of two million units with the rest of the world sales being spread almost evenly across North and South America, Eastern Europe and other smaller regional markets.

Smoking ban in cars with children moves forward
This week daft regulations to prohibit smoking in cars carrying children were passed on for consultation by the government, anti smoking charity Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) has welcomed this latest development in the process. According to a recent poll conducted by YouGov on behalf of ASH, 77% of adults agree that smoking should be banned in cars carrying children. These findings were echoed by MP’s who approved the measure by a vote of 376 to 107 in parliament, according
to ASH this is an even higher level of support than for the banning of smoking in public places. Chief executive of ASH Deborah Arnott said: ‘Cars are small tin boxes where concentrations of tobacco smoke can reach dangerous levels very quickly. As David Cameron himself has said, the time has come for it to be illegal to make children breathe in these toxic fumes. Laws stopping smoking in cars with children are popular with the public, with parliament and with children and we urge the government to bring them into force before the next election.’

Tigers Trek for points
WIN!
If you and a friend want to go see the Glasgow Tigers at Ashfield Stadium on July 27th facing off against Berwick Bandits answer this simple question:
Former Glasgow Tiger Joe Screen now manages which English side? Send your answer to us on a self addressed postcard marked “Tigers Comp” to:
West of Scotland Media, Suite 2/6 Brook St Studios, 60 Brook St, Glasgow G40 2AB Closing date 25/07/14
AGAINST ALL ODDS Ladies if you are reading this, you can rejoice, after a summer packed full of football you have your husbands and boyfriends back, but only for 3 weeks! The 9th of August sees the Scottish Premiership kick off, the following week it’s the English Premier League. Get your bets on just now for these to take advantage of the early prices. The Scottish Premiership is a one horse race again this year, so let’s take current Champions, Celtic, out the equation and look at some alternative markets. The price is not spectacular, but 13/8 for Aberdeen to win the league (w/o Celtic) will be money well spent. The, so called, best league in the world kicks off on the 16th of August. If you think Manchester United have any hope of regaining the title, then there are odds of 5/1, but whilst placing that bet, take the second star to the right and head straight on ‘til morning to Neverland, as this will never happen! Man City now have a full season under their belt with manager Manuel Pellegrini and City have strengthened wisely, this points to them lifting the title again this year, so take them at 2/1 . With Luis Suarez being sold to Barcelona, Liverpool have lost the bite in their attack, Ricky Lambert is not a like for like replacement, and will find it hard to fill those boots The 1st of August we have the Betfred mile at Glorious Goodwood. Homage, last out on the 29th June, was very eye-catching in winning a mile handicap at Windsor . Saddled by William Haggas, he is my selection for that race, odds of 10/1 (at ¼ the odds for 1st 4 place) are very generous. Selections: Aberdeen to win the Scottish Premiership (w/o Celtic) 13/8 - single Man City to win Premiership 2/1 – single Man City/Aberdeen 5/1 (approx) - Double By
Odds correct at time of going to print Only gamble with money you can afford to lose

It will be a very busy week ahead for the Glasgow Tigers as they look to make a push up the Premier League table with three matches in four days as well as clocking up hundreds of motorway miles! The action should already have been underway this week, however the Tigers Monday night home clash against third placed Scunthorpe was washed out, no restaging date has yet be fixed. The team will travel on to Suffolk this Thursday night to face second placed Ipswich Witches, a team they dispatched from Ashfield with some ease last month, before then migrating further South to race, geographically the furthest away club in the UK, Plymouth Devils on Friday night.
Both these teams are strong around their respective home tracks which will mean that it will take their best performance of the season for the Tigers to secure any league points from either of these away meetings. The size of the challenge however won’t prevent the Glasgow team – now boosted by the return of Aussie star Christian Henry - from displaying spirited performances at both venues. Certainly the Glasgow side have the riders who are well capable of surprising their hosts, perhaps the tiny Plymouth track carded as the likelier venue to take something from. The team then travels back to Glasgow to face basement club Sheffield Tigers on Sunday in a meeting which the Scottish Tigers will be banking on as a home win. Sheffield are now team managed
by former Glasgow favourite Joe Screen – who only retired from riding speedway, as a Glasgow rider, last season - his presence and involvement will add some additional spice to Sunday’s event. The Yorkshire side are led by one of the league’s top men Simon Stead, and also track another former Glasgow rider Andre Compton who will make an Ashfield return against Glasgow. In other club news, Tigers supporters are set to welcome back their young French ace Dimitri Berge who will make a return to racing next Sunday (27th July) following recovery from injuries sustained in a crash at the end of April.

Warriors announce record ticket sales over sales three seasons ago.
This week, the Glasgow Warriors announced that they have sold a record number of season tickets for the 2014/15 season, citing a 70% increase
So far, seven weeks out from the kickoff of the Guinness Pro12, 2,700 supporters of Scotland’s number one professional rugby team have bought season tickets, up by almost 400 from the same time last year. Over the course of the 13/14 Pro12 competition, the Warriors saw their average fan attendance across the season jump to 6,000, with a record crowd of 10,000 fans attending the breathtaking
play off at Scotstoun against Munster.
According to the managers at Scotstoun, season ticket holders seats in the main stand are completely sold out with limited tickets available in the north stand and some standing tickets remaining in the east. Glasgow Warriors managing director Nathan Bombrys said: “The support that we enjoyed last season, particularly for the semi-final and final was outstanding and it’s fantastic to see so many supporters getting behind the
team already, by purchasing their season ticket memberships and guaranteeing their place at Scotstoun.
We appreciate the tremendous growth in support behind the team and we’d like to thank our supporters for investing in the club, and Scottish Rugby for their continued funding, which enables us to go from strength to strength on and off the pitch. The new season will feature the very best teams in European rugby in Glasgow.
We are currently working with our partners at Scottish Rugby and Glasgow Life to finalise additional stands on the east and west ends of the stadium, to create capacity for additional season ticket members” The Warriors will be playing their first match since the end of the 13/14 Pro12 on the 23rd of August, facing of against the Harlequins in a friendly fixture, for tickets go to the Warriors website.

Rangers fail to ace part time Ventura
Pre season friendlies in the grand scheme of things are just that, a friendly, but it gives the fans a chance to see glimpses of the players they will be supporting throughout the next season. Rangers fans wont need to be detectives to uncover reasons to be disappointed, after watching the Ibrox giants slump to a shock defeat against American part timers Ventura Country Fusion. Granted the pitch the teams played on was simply not suitable for footballers. The pitch having markings of an American Football pitch as well, leaving the players slightly bewildered whenever they dragged the ball out of play or were standing in the wrong position. However, the Rangers players are professional footballers, paid handsomely, and they were playing against part timers who more than likely have second jobs to allow them the chance to participate in their hobby. The pitch being played upon was severely lacking, being a 3rd
generation artificial pitch, meaning the ball would regularly get trapped under feet and every bounce of the ball would bring with it a trail of rubber pellets. Rangers, however, showed very little promise, or encouragement for their fans to suggest that the upcoming season will be anything but a battle of wills against teams that are of a higher professional calibre than their American challengers. Rangers had chances against their opponents, but showed signs of pre season rust and Ventura Country Fusion duly took the lead, shocking Rangers and their band of loyal supporters. It was sloppy defending that resulted in Rangers conceding, allowing Ventura attacker Vale a shot in the six yard box. Rangers came close, McCulloch striking a 25 yard shot just over the bar, Moshni, McGregor and McCleod all had chances as well but couldn’t find the back of the net. Prodigal son, Kenny Miller, nearly had Rangers in front, literally seconds before Ventura took a shock lead,
failing to direct Nicky Laws cross into the net. The second half saw Ally McCoist change the team, bringing on Kris Boyd, Smith, Aird and Templeton for Wallace McGregor, Macleod and Black and the change was instantaneous. Zaliukas should have levelled the scoreline but sent a header over the bar when it seemed easier to score. Rangers missed another set piece opportunity and to add insult to injury Ventura sub Argueta soon beat the offside trap and rounded the exposed Bell, leaving Rangers 2-0 down. Moshni dragged Rangers back into the game scoring with a header. After Boyd missed a header to level the game Ventura’s youngster Matt LaGrassa scored a fantastic curling effort, to cement a poor night for Rangers. Ally McCoist’s men head to Sacremento on Saturday to play Republic, McCoist will be expecting the ring rust to be polished off of his players by then. By

World Cup Round-Up Annnnnnnnd Breathe, Brazil you were wonderful hosts, wonderful weather and a quite wonderful World Cup. It has to be said that the best team won. Germany were the most consistent, played the best football, scored the most goals, deserved winners. Brazil 2014, certainly provided the world with a fantastic spectacle, shock exits (Portugal, Spain England, Italy) shock qualifiers (Costa Rica, Algeria, U.S.A). The predicted World Cup riots didn’t happen as Brazilians were happy to see their team play their way into the semi finals, until they were hammered 7-1 by eventual winners Germany. Germany vs Brazil in the semi final has now been considered the worst result in Brazil’s history and Felipe Scolari was sacked following their defeat to Netherlands in the battle to secure third place. This 2014 Brazilian World Cup saw the joint highest number of goals scored throughout the tournament ever(171). New heroes were made (James Rodriguez, Pogbo, Costa Rica, Chile, Columbia) The media found a new enemy (Luis Suarez aka Hannibal Lecter) Referees were very lenient during this World Cup, as a result of this Neymar was momentarily paralysed after a particularly harsh challenge from Columbia’s Juan Zuniga. Records were broke, Miroslav Klose is now the most prolific scorer in world cup history, overtaking the original Ronaldo as number one. Keylor Navas of Costa Rica and Tim Howard both broke records of their own Navas saving 21 of the 23 shots on target he faced. Tim Howard saved fifteen shots in the US’s defeat to Belgium. No other keeper has made more saves in the one game. The final consisted of Germany. the team who scored the most goals in the tournament against Argentina, the team who had conceded the least amount of goals. Germany were the first team to score seven goals in a semi final of the
World Cup. England were eliminated from the World Cup during the group stage for the first time since 1958. Spain’s shocking exit and four goal loss to Netherlands was the biggest loss suffered by a reigning champion at a World Cup. Heine Allemagne, aka the man who invented the World Cup dispersible spray, is set to become a millionaire after the success of his spray at the World Cup. The spray which keeps players ten yards away from the free kick, has been a complete success. Allemagne, was so poor growing up, he wasn’t able to go to school, instead he sold ice lollies on the street to help feed his family. Argentina and Brazil showed the world that its takes more than one player to win the biggest prize in international football, although Messi came pretty close to proving the doubters wrong. We also found out that Javier Mascherano will be avoiding any of the more fiery curries the next time he eats out, after tearing his anus in a last gasp challenge against Netherlands. Everybody still dislikes Sepp Blatter and everybody still knows Pitbull can’t sing. Ultimately, the one statistic everybody should remember..? Germany are the best team in international football. Gaaaaaaaame over. By

Cameroonian athletes abscond from Aberdeen training camp This week two members of Cameroon’s Commonwealth Games team absconded from their Aberdeen training camp a week before the Games are due to begin. The pair who have so far not been named were last seen in the Hillhead Halls of Residence in Aberdeen were
reported missing on Tuesday night according to a statement released by Police Scotland who in the release said: ‘Police Scotland can confirm that two men have been reported as missing from the Aberdeen area. Both, one aged 31 and one aged 26, were reported missing from the Old Aberdeen area of Aberdeen just after midday on Tuesday. They were last seen at the Hillhead Halls of
Residence on Don Street, Aberdeen, at around 8.30pm on Sunday 13 July.’ Police Scotland have also released descriptions of the missing athletes describing one as being 5ft 8in wearing a black jumper and white trousers and the other being 5ft 4in with a prominent scar on his left cheek and last seen wearing a track suit. The athletes have followed a trend
which was set in London during the 2012 Olympics where seven Cameroonian athletes went missing during the event in order to claim asylum, it has been alleged by some sources that the two men who have went missing in Aberdeen may intend to do the same, however in conflicting reports, it has been said that there may have been tension between the Cameroonian athletes
and their governing body, similar to the situation for the Cameroon world cup squad who disputed their pay for taking part in the tournament. Police Scotland are urging anyone with information on the pairs whereabouts to contact them on the non emergency number 101. By
