It is invisible then turns yellow after 4-5 days You can sit in parks and unknowingly become ill. The World health Organisation and Breast Cancer Research now belief it is probably carcinogenic.It is believed its causing Breast cancer and 32 other diseases.

Carers save the nation billions of pounds every year by looking after friends and relatives. They give up jobs, money and their personal lives to do this for no pay. The disabled cannot always work. No-one wants to employ people who may have to take a lot of time off sick or for hospital appointments. The poorest people in our country are getting poorer. Why? Because this Government wants to cut their supply line, along with the disabled and carers. We need to stand up for ourselves and each other. We need to stay alive. As an unemployable disabled carer, this latest round of cuts announced impacts on me in all three directions. Where will I be this time next year? Who knows?

These crops are a known potential major health hazard to all living organisms, hence why they have been banned in many countries across the globe. They will also affect non GM foods, the soil, water and more, causing contamination via winds carrying seeds. This is a major issue that will result in major health issues from now and years to come affecting you, your children and the future of our food industry.

On 18th June Fife Cultural Trust, who run Fife's libraries on behalf of Fife Council, announced the proposal to close 16 libraries across the county: Glenwood (Glenrothes), Thornton, Markinch, Pitteuchar (Glenrothes), Kinghorn, Crail, Lundin Links, Pittenweem, Colinsburgh, Falkland, Freuchie, East Wemyss, Bowhill, Crossgates, Abbeyview (Dunfermline) and Townhill. These libraries provide many people with vital internet services and access to books that they would otherwise not get. Many unemployed people or those on low income cannot afford internet contracts and therefore use the libraries for this: closing them means far more restricted access to things like online banking, bill payments and job searching. Some of the areas affected are rural and by closing these internet access points they will have to use public transport to travel further afield; this is money they do not have, and may lead to benefit sanctions if they cannot apply for jobs. Update (23/6/15): Local councillors have managed to stall the closures by demanding Fife Council give a public consultation. While this is great news we still need to continue having our voices heard.

Petitioning for regulated training and better monitoring of unqualified sales reps and 'wellness coaches' ** Edited ** Please note this petition is not aimed dorectly at Herbalife and juice plus, there are others, arbonne shakes, forever living, aloe cleanse. It is also not about banning the products. I am petitioning for regulated, standardised training for and better monitoring of sales reps** Have you ever looked at the ingredient listed in Herbalife and juice plus shakes? Do you even know what the ingredients are? To pick two; microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp. Calcium citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid, a food additive usually used as a preservative. Processed chemicals with added sweeteners that is turned into a powder! 30-40grams of sugar per 100grams? (Then there’s the whole Soy debate.) Of course you will lose weight using these shakes, but this is because you are consuming a dangerously low amount of calories. But using these shakes will have a long term detrimental effect on your health. You will severely damage your metabolism. The weight being lost is not fat, it is mainly water, however being in a calorie deficit for any length of time will put you into a catabolic state, this means you start to eat into your muscle. So although you may look smaller, you are storing just as much dangerous fat. The high sugar levels will also affect your blood pressure and cholesterol. These shakes are not sustainable, so when you start to eat 'normally' again, your new slowed down metabolism won't be able to cope. After using the shakes you may be lighter initially, but you haven't learnt any new healthy habits or received any guidance from properly trained nutritional specialists, which is why weight gain and YoYo dieting occurs. These Products are unhealthy, long term, they are dangerous! While I would like them banned completely, I’m afraid that is unrealistic! At present anybody can sell these products, anybody! This should be enough to scare you off! I am a fully qualified personal trainer and nutritional advisor with specialised qualifications in Pre and post-natal exercise as well as numerous Group exercise classes. Myself and a lot of my ‘Fitness Industry Friends’ spend time and money learning and educating ourselves about how the body works. We are regulated, we have to pass assessments, complete refresher courses, and we are insured; and so we should be! People’s health is kind of important! The people selling these products however, the ‘wellness coaches’ or ‘health experts’ that work in offices, sell cars, own hair salons; they preach about these products and how the body works without spending a single day on a nutritional course or doing any research (Outside of the 20minute power point they get sent). I call for these companies, the FDA and Jeremy Hunt MP to better monitor and control unqualified sales reps; Customers should be informed of the long term risk. Sales reps need to be given adequate nutritional training before being allowed to advise others on their health! Sales Reps should not be allowed to make ludicrous statements about curing arthritis or post-natal depression with these products as I have seen locally. Sales reps should not be able to target venerable overweight or post-natal ladies. Unqualified, uninsured sales peoples should not be able to run boot camp or buggy burn sessions as a sales technique (which is happening in my local area). Please do not be fooled by these friendly Sales Reps; you will lose weight, but this is not a health product! Shouldn’t be marketed as one and certainly shouldn’t be sold by the local postman!

Whilst the original scheme was for one of the most beautiful structures ever proposed – and had already affectionately earned the nickname ‘the helter-skelter’ – the new tower is incredibly mundane at best. Not only is the new design entirely uninspiring but it is completely out of scale with its surroundings. Over the last decade a collection of iconic towers each in proportion to the other has arisen in the city. The new tower’s boxy form is not only boring but the way it hulks over its surroundings completely detracts from them. Now the developers maintain that the redesign was necessary as the curved panels which formed the beautiful summit of the original design were too expensive. Given the fact that rental rates in the city are soaring and the fact that there are significant costs associated with redesigning the scheme, demolishing the current works and delaying completion by several years, it would hardly seem worth it even if the focus is solely on the bottom line. However, whatever the scale of the impact on the bottom line, its absolute minimization cannot be the sole focus regardless of any aesthetic costs when it comes to a structure of this size that will completely dominate views across London for well over a century. Obviously I am against the current design and will sound like an anti-development campaigner. However, nothing could be further from the truth. I am a skyscraper enthusiast as I believe high density design is environmentally friendly and can create an exciting skyline. I just fear that the scheme will turn public opinion in the city against the development of further high-rises. While I argue that bad designs should not be approved, I believe the government should use all resources available to actively encourage good developments. When presented with a scheme of such high quality design as the original Pinnacle proposal, the government should do everything within its power to ensure that it comes to fruition. If, as the developers claim, the original design was too expensive, the government in its capacity to both encourage business and beautification of the cityscape, should have found ways in which to increase the financial return on the structure. For instance, permission could have been given to extend the tower by another forty meters or so. Not only would this have provided another ten stories of rentable space, but it would have, at 328 meters, secured the title of tallest building in the European Union and maintained it in 2020 when the Hermitage Plaza towers open in Paris. I know that some will say that chasing records is a wasteful egotistical exercise, but I am sure the majority of Londoner’s would rather host the tallest structure on the continent than play second-best to Paris. I do believe there is an inherent benefit in pursuing beautiful, record breaking projects. If an attitude of always settling for the mundane – such as this new proposal – is allowed to propagate, it eventually feeds through into the psyche of the surroundings. Meanwhile, an environment where the boundaries are forever being pushed has an invigorating atmosphere that stimulates achievement and aspiration throughout the population. I do not believe that when Britain produced the fastest locomotives at the end of the 19th century, when America launched its moon missions and the Classical world constructed its glorious monuments that each of these was merely a product of its countries technological leadership at the time. Rather, I believe pushing to develop world beating structures is inspiring to the population and drives further progress back into society. I therefore think government must encourage good design, not only by denying permission to ugly buildings but by doing everything possible to encourage the development of great ones. Now I know that one or two people may complain that slightly extending the height of a tower would make it overbearing. But I do not think it would be more than two as I do not think there are many people who would be perfectly content for a building of 288 meters to be constructed by their property but not one of 328 – hardly anyone would be able to tell any difference at all. In fact the vastly more noticeable impact of increasing the height of a skyscraper is that the extra capacity it would yield would allow for the demolition of an entire crumbling tower block somewhere else and its replacement with a park. I am aware that the very earliest proposal for the Pinnacle was for a tower of 307 meters and this was vetoed by the Civil Aviation Authority. However, I really do not think that we should be allowing poor airport planning to spill over into poor city planning – especially in the heart of the United Kingdom’s economy. Rather than stunting the development of this city, the CAA should be looking to address the utter inadequacies of its infrastructure with a new hub airport that would eliminate flights over central London.

As a skilled professional or student, minimum wage is completely out of line with market level and does not reflect the time required to learn the trade and the expensive equipment photographers must buy, maintain and replace regularly. Zero hours contracts are also exploitative and indicate that ad hoc work will be given. In this case the ethical choice would be to form a partnership with a local photographer/ several local photographers for these events or offer a competitive rate of pay as this would lead to the university paying a fair price for the service received .

It is essential that we decarbonise the UK's electricity generation sector. Onshore wind has made a very significant contribution to delivering decarbonisation to date and had been moving towards a position of being independent of subsidies. Brutally cutting subsidies now will effectively destroy the onshore sector at a critical time in its development. This makes no environmental or economic sense, just as decarbonisation targets are about to be missed and we are approaching the Paris Climate Change Summit. The Government's own surveys show that onshore wind commands the support of over two thirds of those asked, far more than fracking. The Govt's destruction of the onshore wind sector will destroy invester confidence in UK renewables and will fly in the face of global moves to protect the climate.

All children who previously used this partially funded current bus service, as it currently stands face an unsafe pedestrian route to/from school if on foot, due to the lack of a safe crossing point. Alternatively, this will result in many more cars trying to use already heavily congested roads through two bottleneck points, one through Ellon town centre and the other at the foot of Hospital Road. There will be further safety issues regarding the school drop off areas around each primary and this will undoubtedly lead to further risks to the children, caused by insufficient access to safe drop off or parking areas.

In the longer run it will be cheaper, allow for more open democracy, less pomp and ceremony and rebalance to country away from its London-centric attitude

Caerphilly CBC has drawn up a new Health and Leisure Strategy that would see 7 of the 11 leisure centre in the area close, including the much loved and well used Cefn Fforest baths. There was a wonderful turn out to the public meeting about the closures on Wed 17th June, where over 100 people spoke with anger and passion against the short-sightedness of these plans. Some comments include: - the difficulties travelling to another area for leisure means that children and adults alike would not be able to exercise or swim as frequently - None of the schools in the area were consulted and yet most use the school for swimming lessons - the hypocrisy of the council encouraging healthy living and yet taking away a prime resource for improving health and well being - the negative effect on our children who won't be able to walk to a local baths, we talked of the wonderful outdoor pool in Pontllanfraith, which is still missed - losing the baths will no doubt effect poverty in a ward that already has one of the highest levels in the whole of Caerphilly Despite the three County councillors saying that they would fight to keep them open, we need to do all we can to let Caerphilly CBC that we are absolutely opposed to their new strategy and they find alternative ways of saving money that will not effect the well-being of so many, as well as the opportunities for our children.

We are losing so many iconic shops in town and this would be a blunder on the highstreet to change it to the name Fenwick
