MPs warn over tuition fees funding gap
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-13667117
Like the poll tax up in Scotland or the smoking ban in a public place In Ireland, the start of the end of financial support is starting down in England. We students are going to have to support our selves financially, so the wealthy will be the only educated again, we will fall for that laissez faire again?
We as the citizens of “Great” Britain make out that we are the society, the power, the power to rule all because we did ages ago, but if we take this dramatic down-fall.
I feel this is the most important because this could be a turning point for Great Britain.

Ken Clarke clarifies 'serious rape' remarks
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/uk-13436429
A politician that influences the public and is supposedly influenced by the public suggested that we reduce rape charges to get these monsters to plea guilty. This would only reduce the amount of time spent in court after the police have managed to capture the criminals.
It’s just helping the criminals get back to what they do best, no “innocent” rapist is going to confess to go to prison, if the court case is for the rapists. The rapists are going to choose to get away with it and if the court case is against the rapist the system will just reduce their sentence.
I feel that this blog is important because I feel that rape is the worst, it can mark a victim for a life-time. This man of power, this ignorant man of power doesn’t respect the fear and shame brought by such a crime, fear and shame that only mark the victims, not the criminals that are getting treated like victims.

while in police custody in Fife
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-13668781
A very brief blog on a possible suspicious case, did the man need help and was ignored? Did an abusive officer go too far? Will we find out? I believe this man will be forgotten about, this is our law. The law that we are given chosen knowledge about.
This is important to me because this man who died in prison died in Dunfermline police station. Living in Dunfermline and seeing the state that some people get into and to find out that they are not getting properly treated it should be a worry about the people who know and care about.

Luke Mitchell's Supreme Court appeal bid refused
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-13672255
A man announced guilty for killing his girlfriend in 2003 was refused his bid for freedom. In a country that in my view has very little trust in the law and the system, a man who copied the gruesome killing of the black dahlia back in 1947 the original killer never been caught, this bid for freedom off the copycat could have started more killings, if he could kill his girlfriend, someone that boyfriend does through his choice (rather than a family member) and in such a vile way who knows what he could have continued. It would also set a bad example for the possible criminals of this country realising that the penalty for murder is so low.
Watching the news and seeing the death sentence going lower due to good behaviour in prison, to be soon put back into prison, as an innocent British citizen it’s good see that some justice is being continued.

BBC documentary to show Helmand through soldiers' eyes
http://waronterrornews.typepad.com/home/2011/06/bbc-documentary-to-show-helmand-through-soldiers-eyes.html
As a citizen in this country we hear of either what war our soldiers are fighting in or how have many died at the cause of it, but finally we as the concerned British citizen will see actual real life footage of a soldier. No longer do we have to see a journalist with microphone in hand talking of the soldiers as strangers, now we can see and witness the soldier life in some of the deadliest places of the planet.
This is important to me, because it’s real, it is just words read from a piece of a paper or a blog from your computer screen, we are witnessing what these soldiers are doing day-in-day-out.

Liberty X just a little video ( I thought I would analyse a poor (quality) music video)
Okay first of all they’re stealing, stealing? Meh I’ve watched action movies.
They’re not wearing any balaclavas! They’re faces will be detected, it’s like this isn’t a real heist at all.
Another thing if this such a heist, shouldn’t some of the long-haired robbers being wearing hair nets?! Have they not watched CSI?! YEAAA ... no.
Why do they have canes? Its jut extra baggage. There are no men or pimps about ... well maybe their agents.
The women have high heels on, now not personally but I know getting back home from a Saturday night out with those on is very unlikely, so avoiding laser beams and getting past that one member of staff in that huge building would be impossible ... no don’t expect the theme tune.
The leather would get sticky and sweaty very impractical, it’s like they want to seduce their viewers? Can you imagine doing that in a music video
interested in this, then go ahead, please just go on my Facebook page "confused and bored" best describing the creator of this page MOI, so check it out!

So NC Media Production ...
So NC Media Production ... having a bad experience at the last college I was at, I was worried about fitting in with the students and settling into the work provided for me. Fortunately they tolerated me and the work was enjoyable.
I came to Stenton Adam Smith wanting to do radio and with these interesting, enjoyable experiences in radio I have just become even more excited on the idea. I am comfortable with the equipment working with the equipment in college and outside college.
But coming on this course had other benefits, being a taster course we looked at every opportunity, every form of media. We worked with Graphics with Graham, we worked video with Pat and Tina, we worked with digital imaging with Lorraine, we worked with ray with photography and of course why I chose this course, I worked on radio with Ricky. I have my favourite subjects, I have my least favourite subjects like any other student but I have enjoyed the experience, I thought I would have loved photography but it wasn’t for me, this course taught me that, so I’m grateful for that lesson.
I really enjoyed Graham’s graphics, the work was very enjoyable and Graham was a great tutor, it was a great experience. Enjoying the subject was a surprise for me because Computers and I don’t get a long, but it was fun.
I get a long with my peers and work well with them, it’s a shame that this class will be splitting up going into HNC/ HND Radio next year but with this creative, sociable course I believe next year’s new friends will be again similar to me.
My outlook on HNC/ HND Radio next: I’m very excited about it; I think I will do well in it. With what I have learnt from this course NC Media Production in radio and media analysis I am confident I can be of interest to my tutors and listeners.
I am glad I have taken this taster course because it just proves (to myself) that I am really wanting to progress into professional radio and now instead of being apprehensive about jumping straight into a 2 year course I am confident and very excited about the course

Is healthy becoming unhealthy?
I want to start off with models, now what is the purpose of models? To sell clothes, to make Britain’s peoples’ clothes look good, good enough to sell to Britain’s people. So why is that the models don’t represent Britain’s people? Now obviously they want to set a good example, so okay don’t make the models 20-30 stones that Britain seems to becoming but that doesn’t mean, you give Britain’s people an unreachable goal of becoming the size of these models.
Nowadays when we look at models, we don’t see a reflection of ourselves in those clothes but rather a skinny “better” looking person wearing the new-in-thing.
Some want to become these air-brushed “people” so they push themselves too hard, they starve themselves striving for “perfection”. But what happens when the unreachable dream is suddenly realised to be exactly that, they punish themselves, life is no longer optimistic and your friends, your family, all of their concerns and worries aren’t valuable anymore, your ambition, your dream is no more.
Exercise. Some families cannot afford to spend hours upon hours outside with their children, having to do couple of jobs, a few jobs, parents can’t afford to spend hours running and dancing about in the park. Instead parents are worried and working towards keeping a roof over their children’s heads. Football practice costs a lot to put their children in, but just set a good example (don’t let them smoke weed).
Diet. We are told go here and you can get all of this for this amount of money, once a week maybe? But constantly having mum or dad in the kitchen doesn’t always work. People get fed up, cooking then becomes a chore, that cheap microwavable meal or cheap frozen dinner is easier to cook. These adverts for healthy eating just seem like snobs and the drive for the children’s good healthy food is lost.
The bar is too high for our Britain, 500 people all fighting over 1 job should tell us that every minute, every pound is valuable and until the government realises that not through choice but through simple math (whether we’re counting minutes or pounds) we are going to keep picking the unhealthy, cheaper option.
An unreachable dream soon becomes an unwanted dream,
Being healthy is becoming unhealthy

A monster's act on man's best friend
I usually just don't serious blog like the ne you are about to read but I needed to get my opinion on this story.
A dog was shot 40 times with shot gun pellets and then left tied up, left to rot in a shallow grave.
What sicko could do such a vile thing, such a friendly animal, that I believe we (as human beings) should take care of. And then I read these horrible, nasty stories that we were created by disgusting monsters. What is punishment for such an awful crime? One year in prison! ... oh and a fine that could go up to £40,000, what a joke!
The look on that poor dog’s face in these pictures nothing but fear, will it be able to trust a human being again? It was just so depressing. We are told the dog is on the mend but that dog will never be the same, will one year of a prison sentence have the same effect? Probably not but I hope so.
These fiends ... these monsters should be considered a menace not only to our neglected animals that should be should be properly taken care of. We as human beings should have more control over that an animal is far away from these creatures that could either be that “person” you pass on the street or even one your neighbours. If these monsters can do such sickening things to defenceless animal who says they can’t do similar acts to you or your loved ones.

How on the floor by jlo ft pitbull is an awful example
Okay this Jlo song here are the problems with the song:
Ok first of all animals shouldn't be allowed in night clubs to tear up the floor, they would wee and crap everywhere(not ideal).
Drinking on the dance floor is usually a bad idea, you dancing, jumping about you could spill your drink on someone,
Grabbing somebody to take them on the floor unless your a gypsy this is very much frowned upon,
Criminals should not be killing anything or anyone on the floor,
Stealing whether it's quick or not is a bad idea
and why is the French word for the "several" times is beyond me. Being sick or even dying on the floor would you get chucked out ...
Oh yeah and pitbull is in it
interested in this, then go ahead, please just go on my Facebook page "confused and bored" best describing the creator of this page MOI, so check it out!

School history, history
A journal written by a Fifer, educated at the universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Nimmo taught at Fortrose Academy, near Inverness, before becoming rector at Inverness Academy.
In 1804, he was involved in carrying out experiments to try and record temperatures deep below the surface of Loch Ness.
Nimmo gave up teaching in 1811 to become an engineer.
Thomas Telford, the famous Scots engineer and architect of the Caledonian Canal, asked him to carry out survey work for the Commission for the Bogs of Ireland.
Nimmo died in Dublin in 1832.
In Alexander Nimmo’s journal we can read about going around Inverness-shire and around the Highlands whilst the massive changes were going on.
The highland clearances started in the late 18th century and continued into the early 19th century, so this journal is very appropriate to be used in high schools up and down the country.
With the highland clearances and migration being a major part in history subject in Scotland and all being witnessed by the author Alexander Nimmo and recorded in this journal. Copies across Scotland should be distributed and used as a mass benefit instead of it being a neglected and yet a very important piece of Scottish history.
