CLOSING TIME FOR TSB BRANCHESPermanent TSB has announced the closure of 16 ofits 92 branches nationwide in the coming months.The bank, which only recently came under state owner-ship due to the recapitalisation of Irish Life & Permanent, is expected to lose up to 250 full-time staff, with almost 150 people expected to be made redundant because of the move. 530 staff members have already lost their job at the bank over the past two years, and UNITE trade un-
ion, which represents the majority of Permanent TSB workers, has said that they are currently in talks to re-duce the number of permanent job cuts in the bank

The Olympic Games has never been short of its sporting contro-versies, but it was the Games’ main spon-sors which raised the most eyebrows when the event kicked off on the 27th of July.
A flurry of critics slammed the decision by the London Olympic Committee which allowed fast food and junk food brands such as Mc-Donalds and Coca-Cola to be amongst the main spon-sors for this year’s Games.
London’s Olympic park is home to the world’s largest ever McDonald’s restau-rant, which holds a capac-ity of 1,500 people, and is said to have queue’s so large on the opening day of the Games that secu-rity guards had to hold peo-ple back at the entrance. Jenny Jones, member of the Green Party, stated, “Lon-don won the right to host the 2012 Games with the prom-ise to deliver a legacy of more active, healthier chil-dren across the world, yet the same International Olympic Committee that awarded the
games to London persists in maintaining sponsorship deals with the purveyors of high calorie junk food that contributes to the threat of an obesity epidemic.”
McDonalds were quick to have their say on the de-bate, as a spokesperson for the multinational quipped, “Ultimately it’s up to indi-viduals to make the right food, drink, and activ-ity choices for themselves.”
McDonalds also announced that it would be introducing a new QR code system during the Olympics Games on all of their meals, allowing their customers to look up the nu-tritional value of their foods by simply scanning them with their smartphones. This new development will be in the majority of McDon-alds outlets throughout the globe by the end of 2012.
For the first time dur-ing the Games, children’s Happy Meals also included either a fruit, vegetable or low-fat dairy option, in a
further attempt to mini-mize the negative feel-ings towards their major sponsorship of the event.
The controversy comes in the wake of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s open letter, published in the UK Times, in which he criticised pro-fessional athletes such as David Beckham for front-ing junk food brands such as Diet Pepsi, noting that it sends out conflicting mes-sages to the youth of today.
“With one in three chil-dren in Britain & Ireland overweight or obese by the age of nine, we have a public health crisis that re-quires urgent intervention. We would ask athletes to be very conscious of the ef-fect their endorsements may have on the future lives of youngsters,” reads the letter.

... Tyrellstown are also set to become mere “service locations”, where no staff members will be present, but custom-ers will still be able to make lodgements.
It has also been announced that the St. Ste-phens Green branch will close at some point during 2013, with the Grafton Street outlet being expanded to create a “flag-ship Dublin city centre site” for the bank.
The Government took control of Perma-nent TSB in 2011 following a €2.7 bil-lion bailout, with a further €1.3 billion pumped into the bank in the last month.
Labour TD Joanna Tuffy for the Dublin Mid-West area has spoken out against and expressed her disappointment at the impending closures.
Tuffy said: “It is a pity the retail bank in lo-
cal towns and villages are losing out in the changes that are taking place. I hope the impact and disruption on customers who are reliant on public transport and need to visit a branch in person to do their banking with the Perma-nent TSB are kept to a minimum. I hope also that the needs of customers are kept in mind during the changes that are planned. I would also like to take this opportunity to com-mend the staff on the service that they have given to the local community over the years.”
The main aim of these extreme changes to the bank is to cut operating costs by 10 per cent, and to reorganise the bank’s main functions into three separate entities: Permanent TSB, an asset man-agement unit, and a UK mortgage loan business.
Permanent TSB’s chief executive Jeremy Masding has said that the development is nec-essary in order for the bank to minimise its
overheads and secure a stable future for itself. Masding, a British banker, took to his role in February of this year and is confident that the new measures will prove to be a success.
“Our objective is to carve out a viable, effi-cient, and competitive and customer focused Permanent TSB bank from within the current group. We believe that such a bank can make a positive contribution to the Irish banking landscape and is the best way of protecting the taxpayer’s investment in our business,” he said.“We face significant challenges; howev-er we are very confident about our future prospects once this restructuring plan has been implemented,” concluded Masding.
The bank has insisted that the changes will not impact upon the quality of the custom-er service provided in any way, and that the progress of the new plan will be reviewed.

Worrying statistics from the RSA have announced that Drivers and passengers alike should take extra care with belting up and car weight restrictions. 23% of drivers killed were not wearing seatbelts and alarm-ingly 29% of passengers killed were not belted up. The shocking fact in this on-going problem is that passengers are more likely to suffer and a high fig-ure of these victims have been ejected from the vehicle. Last year two people were tragically killed and six people were seriously injured over the August Bank Holiday period. Large numbers of drivers will be travelling to sometimes un-familiar places around the country, so Gardai are appealing to all drivers to slow down, take their time, be well rested, wear their seatbelt at all times and never, ever drink and drive. Over the next few weeks Tourists, Students and holiday goers will be gracing the roads, thus increasing the risk of accidents. Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Leo Var-adkar last week announced a crack-down for drivers not wearing seat belts and cars exceeding weight restric-
tions. The points system will be changed and drivers who ignore these basics rules will receive 6 penalty points. Significant strides to reduce the number of deaths have been made in recent years. However, the Gardai still re-port that a large number of people do not wear their seat belts or allow other passengers to travel unrestrained.
Minister Varadkar said: “Shocking as it may sound there are still motorists who permit children under 3 to travel without being properly restrained. Failing to wear a seat-belt or allowing a passenger to travel unrestrained is a breach of the law and you risk a fine and penalty points on your licence which will remain in place for 3 years.” Assistant Commissioner Gerard Phillips said : “An Garda Síochá-na welcomes the changes to the penalty point system, and since their introduction in 2002 many lives have been saved as a result.
In particular, the use of a seatbelt in the front and especially the rear of a vehicle is the most basic form of Road Safety. It is the simplest and most effective way to protect all occupants in any vehicle. We also wish to remind all road users to take extra care on the roads during August & September. August and September are known to be high risk periods on our roads. Finally, as with all existing penalty point offences, we wish to remind the public that they have nothing to fear from pen-alty points once they are compliant with our road traffic laws. Ultimately they are designed to save lives and prevent in-juries and at the end of the day this is our number one goal” Minister Varadkar concluded: “I would like to take this opportunity to remind all road users, motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists and pe-destrians, to take care on our roads over the forthcoming months”The basic message is to arrive alive, belt up and obey the speed limits accordingly.

According to a new scientific study, lifting weights can significantly reduce the risk of diabetes. The Health Professionals Follow-Up Study ana-lysed data from 32,000 American individuals who took part, and concluded that those who engaged in weight training slashed their chances of develop-ing the most common form of diabetes by up to 34%. The study also suggested that combining weight lift-ing with any form of strenuous aerobic exercise would even further reduce the risk of developing the disease. In short, weight training helps increase glucose uptake by the muscles. Stored glucose in the body is referred to as glycogen, and this glycogen is huge-ly beneficial for diabetics. The study recommends that partaking in up to two and half hours of weight training a week, along with following a balanced diet, is the best way to cut the risk of the disease. The study, which was conducted by both re-searchers of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and the University of Southern Denmark,
spanned an 18 year time period from 1990 to 2008, and of the 32,000 participants, more than 2,700 of its participants had developed type 2 diabetes.
Leading researcher of the study, Anders Grøntved said: “Until now, previous stud-ies have reported that aerobic exercise is of ma-jor importance for type 2 diabetes prevention. “But many people have difficulty engaging in or adhering to aerobic exercise. These new re-sults suggest that weight training, to a large ex-tent, can serve as an alternative to aerobic exer-cise for type 2 diabetes prevention,” he continued.
Participants of the study were required to fill out questionnaires every two years on topics which in-cluded their alcohol consumption, exercise habits, age, ethnicity and the medical histories of family members. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health noted: “This study provides clear evidence that weight training has beneficial effects on diabetes risk over and above aerobic exercise, which are likely to be mediated through increased muscle mass and improved insulin sensitivity. “To achieve the best results for diabetes pre-vention, resistance training can be incorpo-rated with aerobic exercise,” he concluded. Finding in the study also pointed to the condi-tion being most common amongst those of South Asian, African-Caribbean or Middle-Eastern descent. According the recent figures from the NHS in the UK, over a million people are said to be living with type 2 diabetes unbeknownst to themselves. Worldwide, an es-timated 346 million people are said to have the disease.

HORRIFICMEDIA VIOLENCE
On July 20th a hor-rendous and mass as-sassination occurred in a Denver Cinema which saw James Hol-mes (24) killing 12 peo-ple and shooting and injuring 58 others.
Holmes who claimed to be the real Joker was wearing a baine-like gas mask and was equipped with tear gas grenades, and several assault riffles.
Only a few years prior to this was the Columbine high school massacre, again 12 students were killed and a further 21 injured. This fea-ture asks the simple ques-tion, is the mass media to blame or the influence be-hind these explicit acts of violence? This gives you, the reader, a chance to further endeavour into this. Who do you believe is to blame?
Many murders/massacres, particularly in the States have been influenced by a media source, be it Mov-ies, Video games and even music, rap in particular.
Be under no illusions, vast areas of media which expose this violence affects how children and teenagers in particular think negatively in the society they live in. It comes as no surprise that we are all vulnerable to what we see on television and the influences it has over us.
Some are brought up to believe that media violence does not affect the way that teens or children act. TV does influence them, it de-pends on if they want to get influence by what they are
watching. As teens and chil-dren get older they try new things. Trends are set, trends set trends, this is a vicious cycle that will never end. After all, for many of us, we idolise our favourite movie stars at a young age, Actors we see on television come across as important rich successful characters. So we are vulnerable to act and think the way they do.
There’s no denying that media influences us a lot. In modern society, any sort of media plays an important role in our daily life. Media being an entertaining func-tion, it might touch almost everyone more or less. As a result, the importance of the media content could not be overemphasized. That’s why we censor before televis-ing it in public, especially some of the news or contents not suitable for children.

GARDAÍ CRITICISE MCD FORPHOENIX PARK UNREST
A new report has emerged which suggests that MCD’s lack of se-curity was to blame for the anti-social events that took place at a recent Phoenix Park concert. The scathing Garda report outlined how the number of security staff employed dur-ing the Swedish House Mafia concert on the 7th of July was severely inadequate, and also claimed that the Phoenix Park was an un-suitable venue for an “electric music” event. While the review will not be officially published due to it containing extensive operational details, Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, has released a summary of the report from the Garda Commis-sioner in order to highlight its key points. The Garda Commissioner also sug-gested that the security staff on the night were not properly briefed on MCD’s policies for dealing with drug incidences and ID checking, as many believed there was an abundance of underage individu-als inside the main arena at the event.
Temporary wooden signage used by MCD at the event has also been criticised, as the Commisioner believes that the signs in question had the potential to be removed and used as offensive weapons, and that temporary lights on-site were also left unattended throughout the evening.
The concert, which was billed as Swed-ish House Mafia’s final Irish gig, was marred by shocking scenes of public disorder and anti-social behaviour from youths. Over 45,000 fans had attended the event which also included performances from international acts including Tinie Tempah, Calvin Harris and Snoop Dogg. Just hours after the concert had fin-ished, two young men who had attend-ed the event had been confirmed dead
due to suspected drug overdoses, while several stabbings and violent assaults had also been reported to authorities. MCD has hit back at the report, issu-ing a statement calling the claims “unbal-anced”, while also requesting that the entire report be published in the public interest. Denis Desmond, Managing Direc-tor of MCD productions, said that he was disappointed “that an individual or a very small number of individu-als engaged in anti-social behaviour.” “Unfortunately, anti-social behaviour has become more and more part of our daily so-ciety with no town or village across the coun-try escaping such conduct,” said Desmond. MCD also added that all ticket holders were subjected to searches upon entering the event site, and that there was a reason-able number of security staff and Garda personnel on-site for a licensed event in an area the size of the Phoenix Park.

According to the latest reports, RTÉ has posted an annual loss of €16.8 million, a number which has almost tripled in just two years.
RTÉ’s annual report shows that the state broadcaster received €183.6 million from TV license revenue in 2011, which is 6% less than it received in 2010. The report also showed that €167 million was generated for the broadcaster through commercial revenue.
This loss comes as RTÉ had recently reported cuts to operational costs, cull-ing of staff members and the imple-mentation of further measures to re-duce overheads for the broadcaster.
Operation costs have fallen by just over €25 million in the past year, from €376.7 million at the end of 2010 to €376.4 in 2011.
These latest numbers are a far cry from the heady days of 2007 when RTÉ cel-ebrated at 45% profit rise, with revenues generated amounting to €440 million.
The cutbacks at RTÉ mean that a number of high-profile presenters are unlikely to have their contracts renewed by the end of 2012, in an attempt to further slash costs. Already this year, 2FM experienced the cancellation of one of its headline morn-ing shows when the plug was pulled on Baz Ashmawy’s and Lucy Kennedy’s weekend slot, while it has already been announced that magazine programmes
including The Daily Show and Four Live will not be returning this autumn.
However, big name presenters including Ryan Tubridy, Kathryn Thomas and Grainne Seoige are all said to be in the final stages of renewing their contract for next year.
It was also been claimed by a TV in-sider that RTÉ’s programming budget has fallen dramatically over the past few years, with a reported fall of almost 50% compared to what it was back in 2007.
Noel Curren, director-general of RTÉ has said that while the noticeable drop in revenue is worrying, the broadcaster is implementing the necessary measures to curb further losses.
“For RTÉ to continue to fulfil its public service obligations it will have to adapt; to deliver existing and new high quality digital media services; to have clearer priorities that underline our public value, fulfil the needs of the public we serve and differentiate RTÉ from its international and domestic compet-itors. In parallel we must continue to reduce our costs, optimise our commercial poten-tial to eliminate our deficit and return to a sustainable financial footing,” Curren said.

This September, Phibsboro will be celebrating it’s third annual “Phizzfest”- a festival showcasing the rich wellspring of talent and creativity that exists in the vibrant and multi-cultural community. Phizzfest is an community arts festi-val which is financially appealing as most events are free entry and open to all of the public. This festival has enjoyed critical ac-claim in recent years as 2011 winner of the “Epic Awards” – an initiative by the Volun-tary Arts Sector who encouraged the par-ticipation of amateur and voluntary groups of the UK and Ireland to engage in com-munity arts festivals. Phizzfest also won the People’s Choice Award at Dublin Living Awards in October the same year and is cer-tainly a rising star on Dublin’s already won-derful and diverse culture and arts scene.
The festival will be packed with a wide va-riety of activities and events from comedy and sport to drama, the visual arts and mu-sic. Activities taking place along the Royal Canal include Canoe Polo tournaments, model raft building for children and the Phizzfest Boat Rally. In the spirit of encour-aging and showcasing local arts and talents, Phizzfest features Poetry and Creative writ-ing workshops as well as Guitar and Drama.
In something familiar with an unu-sual twist, there will be a Fashion show with Cynthia Baloula - where all clothes
are sourced from Phibsborough Char-ity Shops! You can get the chance to learn the Charlestone and the Swing with danc-ers from the Cat Club at the Vintage Style Tea Dance, which will be accompanied by tea, cake and old style jazz era music.
Phibsborough is certain to be packed full of arts and culture, with a visual arts trail to be found through the area as well as music and comedy to be found in the pubs across the neighbourhood. This year’s programme is packed and contains a wide range of activi-ties to interest all age groups including fam-ilies and children. For information on dates, venues and bookings visit phizzfest.ie.

Maeve Binchy was widely rec-ognised as a major player in her field with her books outselling the likes of Oscar Wilde and James Joyce, and beat the likes of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens in a 2000 poll for World Book Day.
Although her first book was rejected five times, she went on to sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and her novels have been translated into 37 languages and she has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.
Maeve also managed to crack the U.S when she appeared on the New York Times bestseller list and appearing on the Opera Winfrey show in 1999.
Maeve began writing a column for the
Irish Times, which kicked started her career as a writer. She moved to Lon-don and began as editor where she met her husband, Gordon Snell, a presenter for the BBC. It was there she began to write short stories. This led to the collec-tions Central Line and Victoria Line and her first highly successful novel Light a Penny Candle, published in 1982.
No stranger to controversy, Maeve caused a stir in 1973 with her Irish Times column, typically tongue-in-cheek report on the wedding of Capt Mark Philips to Princess Anne. In 2005 she took another shot at the royal fam-ily, saying she thought Camilla was “basically a decent and horsey cardi-
gan who loves Charles and is prepared to go through all this (like she has gone through so much already) from the sheer accident of falling in love with him”.
However she always main-tained she didn’t have anything against Britain’s Royal family.
Perhaps one of the highlights of her career, her novel Circle of Friends, was made into a 1995 Hollywood movie star-ring Chris O’Donnell and Minnie Driver.
During her career, Maeve has also won many prestigous awards such as a Jacob’s Award for her RTÉ play, Deep-ly Regretted By, the British Book Award for Lifetime Achievement and a People of the Year Award In 2001 Maeve is survived by Gordon, her brother William and sister Joan.

Great news for Luas customers as An Bord Pleanala has given the go ahead for the Luas link up in Dublin City Centre. This news not only improves the cities transport service but is set to create 800 new jobs in the capital.The Red Line From Saggart to Connolly and the point will link up with the Green line from Ste-phens Green shopping Centre to Brides Glenn. The RPA has welcomed the deci-sion, which will see passenger services on the new link-up operating from 2017.
The eventual route will be named the LUAS Broombridge line. An interchange with the Maynooth Line will be provided at Broom-bridge. A station will be built at the newly sanc-tioned DIT campus at Grangegorman. The pro-ject is expected to cost in the region of €370m. The new line will feature 13 stops, offering a journey time of 24 minutes. It is expected to attract an additional eight million passenger journeys, a 25% increase. The Dublin Chamber of Commerce said that the project would be a key piece of an integrated public transport network for the region that will benefit commuters, shoppers and tourists. “The development of this Luas line is a ‘missing link’ for public transport in the region as a whole,” said Gina Quin, Dublin Chamber Chief Executive. “Luas BXD will join the Luas lines but also
link the north and south side of Dublin city cen-tre in an important way which will improve life for commuters, shoppers, and tourists. “When we link up our transport network more effectively, we give passengers greater options on where they can get to in the city and create more value for the public transport network as a whole.” Minister f or Transport Tourism and Sport, Leo Var-adkar welcomed the decision by An Bord Pleanála. Speaking today, Minister Varadkar said: “Luas BXD will revolutionise public transport in Dub-lin. It will deliver a joined up commuter rail-way network by linking the two existing Luas lines. It will extend Luas into the north inner city to the new DIT campus at Grangegor-man and will terminate at Broombridge where it will interchange with the Maynooth line.” “When complete, Dublin will have an in-tegrated rail and light rail network that is the norm in other modern cities. “For the first time, it will be possible to get a train in Maynooth or Leixlip and get out in Dundrum or Sandyford with just one change. “Similarly, you will be able to get on the Luas at Tallaght and with just one change, get out at the new DIT campus or at Trinity College.” “The Business Case for Luas BXD needs to be updated to take into account the changes made by An Board Pleanála. “However I am confident that the business case remains robust and I expect that the ar-rangements for advance works and tender-ing will be finalised as soon as possible. “This morning I have instructed the RPA to begin work on this immediately with the intention that construction can commence in the near future.”

TREMENDOUS SUCCESS AT ROADSTONE
DR. CHEKHOV BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE RUSSIAN THEATRE21ST SEPTEMBER, THE HELIX THEATRE, DUBLIN
SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS
Irish housing prices have once again fallen in the month of June af-ter a brief upturn in May of this year. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) had only re-cently announced that housing prices experienced a 0.2% increase in May, despite an overall decrease of 15.3% compared to the same month in 2011.
This increase was short lived as prices fell by a further 1.1% a month later, bringing the overall decrease in the past year up to 14.4%.
Housing prices have taken a huge knock since the property crash almost 5 years ago, as they are only half of what they were in 2007, according to the CSO. In January of 2012, the average Dublin house price had fallen below the €200,000 mark for the first time since the early months of 2000.
For example, apartments in Dublin are worth 61% less than in February 2007, while residential properties are worth 57% less during the same period. Experts have said that weak bank lending and increased unemploy-ment are likely to drag house prices down even further.
Mortgage expert Karl Deeter has suggested that if house prices continue to fall it could help curb the rise of mortgage arrears. Recent figures from the Central Bank have showed over 116,000 mortgages
are currently in more than three months or more of arrears, with the majority of these accounts needing the repayments on these mortgages to be lowered.
The current property depression has seen the amount of mortgages given out in the past year amount to only €2bn, compared with €30bn during the property boom in the mid-2000s.
Financial analyst Michael Greany believes that aus-tere fiscal consolidation along with the falling housing prices is likely to curb the increasing amount of arrears for Irish mortgage holders, but has said that state in-centives and mortgage forbearance policies will be key in the coming years in influencing arrear performance.
However, economist Ronan Lyons believes that the Dublin property market is looking much health-ier than in recent years despite the continued fall in prices in the month of June. “In June, 34% of prop-erties that were put on the market two months previ-ously had sold - up from 25% last December. All these figures suggest that the Dublin market is closest to being a normal property market again,” said Lyons.
Lyons also admitted that it won’t be an overnight re-covery for the nationwide market, noting “it is impor-tant to remember that recovery in the property market is not about prices - it will take over four decades of “normal” house price inflation of 2% to reach the pric-es last seen in 2007 - rather, recovery is about activity.”
Other economists have shown cautious optimism at the situation with Alan McQuaid of Merrion Stock-brokers remarking that the ESRI and Central bank have shown signs of hitting bottom, aswell as stating that there has been an increased demand amongst fam-ilies under 35 looking to invest in the property market.
A global survey conducted at the beginning of 2012, deduced that housing prices have fallen so much in Ireland that it requires only three times the aver-age salary to buy a house here. During the boom, it was 10 times the average salary in comparison.
The study, known as the Demographia Inter-national Housing Affordability Survey, ex-amined housing prices in 325 English-speak-ing cities across the world including those in Australia, Ireland, France, Germany and the US.
Finding in the study showed that Waterford is Ire-land’s least expensive city to invest in property, fol-lowed by Galway, Cork and Dublin respectively.

Unable to give up smoking? Accord-ing to recent studies, you may need to question the role of your friends in this struggle against addiction. Recent research carried out by pharmaceuti-cal company Pfizer revealed an unset-tling social phenomena – one of three smoker’s admits to being a “saboteur”. The data was collected from 6,300 current and former smokers by Pfizer as part of its Don’t Go Cold Turkey campaign.The word saboteur is being used to describe the act of deliberately sabotaging somebody’s attempt at giving up smoking. The underlying psychological motives for such acts were com-monly reported to be jealousy, avoiding shame over one’s own smoking habits and having or keeping a “smoking buddy”. However, the study also found that 72 per cent
of smokers who have tried to quit already sus-pect someone has been trying to stop them.
“Beating a smoking addiction is hard enough without the negative influence of others around you casting doubt,” the DailyTelegraph quoted London-based GP Sarah Jarvis as saying. In the study it was found that the majority of those that try use the “Cold Turkey” approach to giving up will fail within eight days and only three per cent will be smoke-free after one year. It has been suggested by Sarah Jarvis that success rate increases could be raised signicantly with the aid of healthcare profes-sionals or local Stop Smoking services.

Flaring tensions have been building over the past 4 years as the Americans and Russians realise the natural riches with an enormous price tag, lie be-neath the northern ice cap. Territory disputes arose between the two super powers, each claim-ing the oil, gold and other natural resources. The potential is enormous: the Arctic is said to con-tain up to 500bn barrels of oil, huge gas reserves and significant deposits of diamonds, nickel, tin and gold. Growing interest in the Arctic has been driven by the recent spike in energy prices, which makes developing energy resources in hard-to-reach areas increasingly lu-crative. Onshore mineral resources are being depleted, and the Arctic will soon become the world’s only un-tapped reserve. Consequently, no contender for the North Pole’s resources is likely to give up without a struggle. According to the study, the Arctic holds 30pc of the world’s undiscovered gas and about 13pc of oil. Most of the oil reserves lie within the state of Alaska, in the United States, while the gas is concentrated in Russian territory. Another interesting note to point out….Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867 for 7.2 million dol-lars. Scientists have been studying the area in depth. The study has also revealed that the riches are lying in shallow waters, which will make retrieving, pump-ing and transporting the oil and gas a handy num-ber. Other countries which are on the hunt for oil and gas under the sea bed have developed anti weather-ing equipment that can access the natural resources that may lie 2000 meters below ice covered shores. The icy Arctic is turning into a real hot spot, and this has more to do with geopolitics than climate change. Disputes over the Arctic’s potential deposits are likely to increase. Norway led the way two years ago, submitting a claim for an extensive chunk of Svalbard and the Jan Mayen continental shelf. As the result, the UN commission for-mally granted Norway some 235,000 sq. km of Arctic and Atlantic Ocean seabed, which constitutes as much as three quarters of the region’s total land territory. Telegraph What’s behind Norway’s Arctic rush? According to experts, Norway’s North Sea oil production will decline some 50pc by 2030, providing the impetus for rapid action. All states bordering the Arctic claim rights to its con-tinental shelf. The Arctic nations are the US, Canada, Russia, Denmark (Greenland) and Norway. Three other polar states – Iceland, Sweden and Finland – have no ma-rine borders with the Arctic, yet could also make claims. The United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, India and China are also increasingly interested in the Arctic reserves. Russia’s first attempt to claim rights to the Lomono-sov Ridge was in 2001, but the claim was rejected, cit-ing a lack of scientific evidence. Two years ago, a Rus-
sian expedition using two submarines descended to the seabed 4km below the North Pole. Researchers planted a titanium Russian flag and took water and soil samples for analysis. The mission’s aim was to jus-tify Russia’s claim on 1.2m sq. km of Arctic territory.
The Americans, Russia, Norway, Japan and Korea are all busy building off-shore platforms and Ice break-ers in order to transport and consume the gas and oil, at the same time the greed is getting in the way of what truly matters here. They are making global warming a lot worse, in turn heating up our planet at an alarming rate, thus rising sea levels, melting ice caps and glaciers and killing off penguins, polar bears and other arctic species. In the past 20 years, images from space show us that the north pole has shrunk quite considerably, it is shrinking at a rate of 3% per decade, the north ice cap acts as a reflector, the bright ice causes the sun’s rays to bounce back up into the atmosphere, But due to the vessel ice breakers more water is exposed to the sun, thus attracting the suns raise to the water, which in turn means ocean warming and melting ice, it is not just global warming that is contributing to the melting poles. The Russians are the world’s largest gas supplier, 22% of their overall GDP and 20% of all exports. Three of Russia’s biggest gas fields which account for just 1% of Russia’s population, all lie in the western arctic and are pining all their hopes on what else could possibly lie be-neath the northern arctic basin. Researchers estimate that overall takings could be worth $15 trillion. Other coun-tries involved clearly know how valuable the North Pole could be. Violence and even a third world war could be the outcome if the territory dispute is not handled with care. The Russians have already claimed that exploration will commence in 2020. A Russian national security strategy has been put under way by the Russian president. Troops have already been deployed and are out their protecting the area right now as you read this article. This highlights the fact that potential violence could erupt and casualties could fall. Nikolai Makarov, first deputy defence minister and chief of the general staff, recently said: “Russia will have to work hard to protect its interests in the Arctic.” Konstantin Simonov, director of the National Energy Se-curity Fund, puts it even more bluntly. Speaking at the Russia, Nato and Future of European Security Confer-
ence, he said Nato countries are aggressively expand-ing their military presence in the region. He believed a military clash in the Arctic is only 20 years away. We all know that this is not the first time natu-ral resources have caused conflict and subsequently kicked off wars, which by the end of the gun fire, thousands of innocent lives shattered and destroyed. In April 2001, just 6 months prior to the 9/11 at-tacks, President Bush announced an invasion on Iraq to improve the flow of oil for the International community. The Bushes cabinet all agreed that Iraq remained to be a destabilizing influence to the flow of oil, de-manded exports were not met. America of all countries had to take action. Bush and other wealthy men who put large sums of money into Bushes campaigns have huge investments in major oil companies, these are the only ones who would benefit from a war in Iraq. The invasion of Iraq had very little to do with the 9/11 at-tacks. The wide population were lead to believe the Amer-icans were in the to disarm them from their ‘weapons of mass destruction’, ‘human rights’, or any other factors or lies that the American government lead the UN to believe. It is estimated that the Ameri-cans took in $4.5 billion of Iraq’s oil.How many innocent people died, how many families and communities were ripped to shreds? How many soldiers died just for America to make another buck? Figures are in the 6 figure thousands, we will never know for sure as much on casualties and lives lost as cover ups took place. Wiki leaks released a video of an American black hawk helicopter shoot down at a crowd of innocent civilians, kill-ing at least 100. This was never reported in the news until it got leaked. How many of these executions took place?? We will never really know for sure the full extent of casualties. The North Pole is definitely a territory dispute for us to keep a close eye on. We know how desperate the su-per powers are to be the richest, the best and the most powerful. They will commit mass murder to get what they want. It is very worrying to think about the innocent civilians that may suffer in this potential war. Judging by previous wars and invasions, all hell will break loss. The only positive thing about this situation is that the North Pole is not populated by humans. The only people they will harm is each other, which is of course still a bad thing. The UN laws state that bordering countries of the North Pole can claim territory of 200 miles adja-cent to the countries coast. We now must wait and see what happens over the coming years, global warm-ing and human destruction will determine what hap-pens with this untapped reserve of natural riches.

NORTH POLE TENSIONS
Perry Terrotet, Historian and Author of The Naked Olympics: The True Story of the An-cient Games, revealed how the ancient Olym-pics were the “total pagan entertainment package”. In an interview in National Geo-graphic prior to this year’s Olympic games in London and kicked off with an open-ing ceremony as memorable and cultur-ally significant as anything in 2012 London. The opening ceremony of London 2012, which was orchestrated by the director Danny Boyle (crea-tor of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire) was predicted to have been tuned into by a whopping 900 million viewers on the 27th of July this year accord-ing to the International Olympic Committee. How-
ever, it is unlikely that many could trace this ritual practice back to a time where the games would fea-ture “nonexistent sanitation, pervasive prostitution, broken bones, animal sacrifice, and even doping”.
“Today’s Olympics is a vast, secular event” noted Perry Terrotet, “but it doesn’t have the religious ele-ment of the ancient Olympics, where sacrifices and rituals would take up as much time as the sports”. Ac-cording to the historian, the Olympics significance in Greek Antiquity was “ first and foremost a religious
event, held on the most sacred spot in the ancient world. It had this incredible aura of tradition and sanctity.” Where today we gathered to witness a celebration of popular British culture, you could expect to find “fire-eaters, palm readers and prostitutes” in the ceremonial proceedings of antiquity - some that would even in-clude animal sacrifices. The first Olympic games fea-tured only a single foot race, and the occasion was held for mythological reasons - namely as part of a wor-ship ritual to their God Zeus. The nature of the true origins of the Olympics have been “lost in the midst of time” claims the Historian, however, this celebration of athleticism is believed to have been practiced ever four years from 776 BC to AD 394 as they are today.

21 Jump Street is a feature length revival of the 1987 television series of the same name,whichstarredJohnnyDepp,asofficerTomHansoninhisbreakoutrole.Thisfeature length version is an action comedy with a surprising amount of heart, as well as plenty of gags and one liners along the way. 21 Jump Street follows the premise of the original TV series, as Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum who are police partners, are faced with the humiliation of going undercover as high school students to bust a drug ring. After their own turbulent high school experience (Tatum was a jock, and Hill was anerd),bothareshockedtofindouthowthePCgenerationhaschangedthepopular-ity stakes in high school, with Hill now seen as the more popular of the two. This leads to some hilarious scenes and quotes from Jonah Hill’s character, which is to be expected after his turn in hugely popular comedies such as Knocked Up and Su-perbad. Tatum is also equally hilarious and holds his own in the comedic value stakes alongside Hill, which may come as a surprise as he has never had a lead comedy role before. In an outrageous way, 21 Jump Street provides some real laughs, in some ways creating a new age Police Academy. But what really stands out about 21 Jump Street is that it’s not just enjoyable and hilarious, it also tells a genuinely interesting and emo-tionally compelling story, developing its characters in a way you probably wouldn’t an-ticipate from a high school comedy. If you enjoy outrageous, immature comedy movies similar to Superbad, Hot Rod and The Hangover, then you will thoroughly enjoy this film,andIguaranteeyouwillbelaughingthroughout.21 Jump Street is available to rent now.
