Courage in the face of adversity is a sparse commodity these days. Activism on these shores has long since entailed death threats from the establishment, how stagnant in comparison to Malala’s story have we become! We need to start afresh, begin anew, and carve out change that sometimes appears to not be present.

Michelangelo (the sculptor, not the crime-fi ghting, pizza-loving turtle) once famously said that in chiselling David, he merely unleashed the beauty from its natural, marble captivity. This is true of almost all art, whether it be creative writing, digital illustrations, working with textiles or even the art of cooking. The fi nesse belongs to those with a deft touch and the insight to see the wondrous lurking amongst the mundane.

This creativity is the beautiful prowess of homo faber; women and men are creators. Through the Magdalen we want to push, pressurise, and drag along, the wonderful creativity of our students. To this end, this month we will see the very worst of humanity’s practices and its every best. From human traffi cking to the greatest scientifi c breakthroughs in recent weeks.

The Magdalen proud presents the originality and fl air of imaginative students! To further engage you, why not submit a snap or too in our Cash Prize Photo Contest (see back cover for details). Come now and celebrate the creativity we have to offer!

T railing on the end of the rumbling steel locomotive, the smoking carriage was as if Hell

had ascended to Earth. A grey- out. The medusa-like carriage, with snaking clouds of carbon fi ltering through partially cracked windows, meandered onwards. On-board darker shadows lingered and loitered, almost motionless in the mist. The occupants of coach G had become the life and lungs of this smokescreen.

Addicted engines soon smothered by their own sickly love child. Lungs extolling psalms of century-old plantations, whilst paraphrasing the gospel of existentialism; “We are masters of our own destiny!”

THE MILK OF HUMAN

KINDNESS WAS LITTERED

NONCHALANTLY AROUND ME

Simultaneously fi ring up the fi fth Pall Mall in the chain; simple automatons, slaves to urges, which reason cannot fathom yet seduces with excuses and fl irts openly through puckered lips.

Dwelling right among that potent mist was me. A fool; stubborn and not smoking. The invitation to conduct vice was unmistakeably alluring, as the milk of human kindness was littered nonchalantly around me; Marlboro, Amber Leaf and skins as transparent as

the desires of their owners hid the table that stood vigilant between fi re-breathing dragons and myself. Through the glorious poison, my reality played tricks on me. I saw Nixon, or perhaps it was Caesar, dictating with Saxon-esque fury to a stationary tobacco Serf in the third row from the door at the end of the carriage. I witnessed the meandering shadows of women and men fade in time, empty promises and dreams. Through the jungle of fi re and smoke I heard reminiscing about the good-old days, no longer enjoyed by the nearby dormant factories towns we sailed past. Coach G had become part of the undying chorus. Alive with a suicidal craving, dead in the smoking ruin of bitter tongues, yellowing skin and breathless words.

I watched as hand reached for another, ascending as rapidly as it fell and awaited the gratifying ignition to commence. I watched and I saw Good. My actions amounted to little more than small pockets of wind brushing aside ash clouds, becoming one of the deities alive in that space. I was the outsider, passive inhaler and pundit. I, was Another God, affected by the fi re of man. I was God of Oxygen prematurely breathing whispers of resistance.

So it’s midway through the fi rst semester of your university year, for some of you it’s the fi rst

semester of your university career, and now your student loans are crumbling from one (hundred) too many jager bombs at the union. To save money you’ve decided to limit the number of takeaways you have each week; this drastic cut back from seven per week to a mere one or two is a shock to the system, you are in complete disarray and a state of shock is thrust upon you as you fi nally learn that there is an oven in your kitchen. In this article, you’ll fi nd life-changing advice as we discuss the does and don’ts of what you should and shouldn’t do in the kitchen.

DON’T : Put plastic in the oven!Here is a tale of one former fresher and his fi rst few weeks in the kitchen. Lex was a young, naïve fresher believing that he could successfully cook some salmon in the oven. It was a luxury for Lex, he had been scrimping his leftover money from the night before and decided in his hungover state that he would treat himself to some salmon as it reminded him of home,

COOKING WITH PLASTICSCOOKING WITH PLASTICSinstead it covered his oven in a thick coating of fi shy plastic and quickly melted his dreams of fi ne dining.In order to avoid such a disaster, it is recommended that one does not use a plastic green chopping board as a baking tray. Instead one should use a metallic one and remember to lift it out using oven gloves. These can be bought for £2 and £4.50 respectively at the Tesco Riverside. An oven full of mushy-pea like substance will be leftover if you do not follow this amazing, life-changing advice.

DON’T : Forget to turn off your hob!After cooking some Tesco value super noodles (25p per packet, a student’s best friend) in a pot of boiling water, one should proceed to drain the contents of the pot and leave it in the sink to cool down. However, it is absolutely vital that you remember to switch off all electronic cooking equipment immediately after use. For one thing, it prevents your electric bill from soaring, it also reduces the likelihood of fi remen having to break into your fl at.

As a more mature student, our misfortunate Lex has almost mastered the concept of cooking for himself, but this time the hob did not have time to cool down

“and accidentally, a plastic washing basin had been placed on it. Remember, the hob and oven are temples of heat and should not be used as another prepping area. The plastic melted across the kitchen counter, rendering the hot out of use and the deposit which he was desperate to spend on several dozen VS drinks after his exams is now depleted.

In order to avoid this happening, clean up your utensils as you cook. When fi nished chopping your vegetables and meat, start cleaning them up in the sink while your meal cooks away. Not only is this an effective way of managing your time, but it keeps your

REMEMBER, THE HOB AND OVEN ARE TEMPLES OF HEAT

fl atmates content with the cleanliness of your kitchen and no effort will have to be made in order to scrape that burnt plastic off your counter, also, no Febreeze will be needed to douse that odour.

If there’s anything to take away from this article, it is that plastics are not without their danger in the kitchen. Perhaps it would be best to cook in groups; many hands make light work and many brains can look out for potential danger. Not only is cooking together in groups a more enjoyable experience, but it’s also cheaper! By chipping in £1-2 each for dinner, several portions of delicacies such as Chilli, Spaghetti Bolognese or chicken curry can be cooked in bulk. Rest assured, learn from Lex (who may or may not be a completely fi ctionalised character) and his mistakes and not your own – it’s cheaper.

£5.49

£5.49This is a highlighter and concealer in one which promises to brighten, perfect and correct the under-eye area. It’s hard to keep skin from looking fl at or dull during the colder months and this product is an easy way to achieve an inner glow. Simply brush the product over your desired area, pat in and then enjoy for the next 8 hours. You can apply simply under the eye, or for a more contoured look you could pat this down the nose and along the cheekbones. Either way this is a lovely, creamy product that is defi nitely worth the hefty price tag.

Lastly, no Autumnal look would be complete without a deep berry lip. This offering from Rimmel is affordable and long-lasting with great colour pay off. It has a velvet matte fi nish which means that it’s not going to go anywhere throughout the day. A tip would be to put a bit of lip balm on before applying, or use a lip exfoliator as matte fi nishes can be slightly drying. That said, this versatile and fl attering shade is great during the day, or dressedup for a night out.

We are now well and truly into the Autumn months, so gone are the coral blushes and glowing skin;

it’s time to embrace berry hues and paler complexions. Here are a few products

to help you nail that Fall look.

Dry skin is a nightmare that habitually accompanies this time of year and it’s important to keep on top of it. This hand cream is lightweight, non-greasy and long lasting. Not only that, it’s a bargain and a little goes a long way! As it is so quickly absorbed it will last long after you have washed your hands. If you are looking for a cheap, effective moisturising hand cream, then look no further than this must-have.

few products to help you nail that Fall look.

I n last month’s issue, fashion writer Caitlin Millar hinted at a great idea to help clear out all those

unwanted clothes from your wardrobe, and now we’re going to tell you all about it! On a rainy Friday evening in early October, a bunch of us subjected our wardrobes to a deep detox and rounded up all our unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories in preparation for a fabulous night of swapping.

After nipping into Tesco Express for a cheeky bottle of wine (it was half price, can ya blame me?) I headed over to chez Caitlin who was lovely enough to host our fun event. Some people had brought an absolute ton of clothes and at fi rst it seemed it was going to be impossible to sift through them all, but with a little bit of teamwork (to make a dream work), we sorted everything out into vague categories scattered across different corners of Caitlin’s living room. We then fi gured the best way to go about it was for everyone to spend some time perusing the clothes up for grabs and getting an idea of what they might like to take home.

Then it was up to our glamorous host to hold up one item at a time like some sort of stylish auctioneer and whoever wanted said item was able to say so. Of course, the slightly awkward situation did arise where more than one person wanted the same thing; but being the classy, civilised beings us girls are, it wasn’t diffi cult to work out who was perhaps most deserving. The general rule is if someone has already grabbed plenty whereas someone else hasn’t seen much that’s piqued their interest, it won’t be a diffi cult one to resolve.

Do you feel like there’s something missing? Well, you’d be correct. We’ve got wine, we’ve got free clothes; what could make this evening better? Face masks from Lush, of course. Once again, Caitlin pulled through for us and my silky soft skin is eternally grateful.

So there you have it, a brilliant idea for something different to do on a girls’ (or guys’) night in – and you may even get to walk away with a whole new wardrobe! So what are you waiting for? Go forth and swap!

HOW TO ...Cloth es Swap

Leona Reid

H ayley is at the forefront of Scottish fashion design; appearing in Vogue and I.D, among

other prestigious publications, her reputation is one of style and esteem. She studied printed textile design at DJCAD, taking a year out to intern with Jeremy Scott (now head designer for Moschino) designing prints, which were used in his collections. Hayley’s own collection, ‘New Frontiers’ which she debuted at her degree show in 2009, caught the eyes of super model Erin O’Conner and vogue.co.uk earning her a name as Scotland’s coolest new designer, which she has since lived up to.

In 2012, when Hayley fi rst won an award, she also launched her diffusion line ‘HS’. The line has since been popular with yet more celebrities, including Little Mix, Jessie J, and the Saturdays. The latest collection was launched on the 11th of October, along with a celebration for the new award. I went to join the celebration, along with the Magdalen’s fashion editor Leona Reid and graphic designer Juliet Wright. We were greeted with a glass of champagne and music mixed by a local DJ as people fi led in. The last guests began to arrive, eagerly awaiting the start of the show, which was having the fi nal touches added in the adjoining room.

Instead of a catwalk, this launch was more of a presentation, with four models standing on podiums. Strategically placed spot lighting gave a moody atmosphere, a disco ball refl ecting fragments of light around the room. A projector showed us the images that had inspired the clothes, adding to the atmosphere the collection had set. Think luxurious-leatherette, fur, and glitter-outfi ts perfect for the Christmas party season. Another drink is provided; this time a specially picked cocktail, which I think was a French martini. Served from a vintage style bar table, it fi tted perfectly with the evening’s aesthetic.

Behind the silver tinsel fringing which surrounded the models was a rail, holding the rest of the collection. Stepping through this glittering curtain, pouring over every detail; zips, faux snakeskin, spaghetti straps, and halter necks. Off the shoulder crops, A-line skirts, fur coats, and shift dresses all oozed glamour and opulence. The garments were quickly rising to the top of my ‘must have’ list, which soon grew to include the whole collection. If only that scratch card I bought last week had given me a win. I suppose I will just have to lust from afar.

HUSTLEScottish Young Designer of the Year…again; I didn’t even think that was possible, but Hayley Scanlan has won it. Her double win really speaks to her talent, managing to juggle a hectic studio life with raising twin boys. It just goes to show that anything is possible if you put in the work.

Go and have a look at ‘Hustle’, which is now available on Hayley’s website, www.hayleyscanlan.com. Don’t blame me if you fall in love with everything.

Those are the words of Malala Yousafzai, who last month became the youngest person in history to receive the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize as recognition of her extensive advocacy of women’s rights and female education. At only 17 years old she has already achieved more than most will intheir entire lives. She is an inspiration anda true heroine.

Born on the 12th of July 1997 in North Western Pakistan, she grew up happily with her family and attended the local public school run by her father. Her journey from ordinary girl to women’s rights activist began in 2008, when the Taliban began attacking girls’ schools in her area. At the age of only 11 Malala spoke out, giving a speech in nearby Peshawar entitled “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?”. This was only the beginning of her campaign. She then began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC, providing an insight into the life of a young Islamic girl living under the control of the Taliban. Eventually her anonymity was lost as news

of her activism spread around the world. However, unafraid, she continued to give talks and interviews expressing her views on education for all girls. During this period she was also nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize by Desmond Tutu and won Pakistan’s National Youth Peace Prize. However, when she was 14, Malala and her family learned that the Taliban had issued a death threat against her.

However, she bravely continued going to school and campaigning as they truly believed that the Taliban would not come after such a young girl. Malala and her family at the time were more concerned for her father, a well-known anti-Taliban activist.

On the 9th of October 2012, Malala’s world changed forever. Whilst travelling to school, two men boarded the school bus demanding to know which girl was Malala. Her identity was revealed when several girls looked in her direction. The men then fi red three shots. A bullet entered the left side of her forehead leaving her in a critical condition. Incredibly,

MalalaSarah Jamieson

‘A WOMAN IS NOT ONLY A MOTHER, SHE IS NOT ONLY A SISTER, SHE SHOULD HAVE AN IDENTITY, SHE SHOULD BE RECOGNISED AND SHE SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS TO MEN’

Malalashe was still alive. After being given initial care in Pakistan, she was then fl own to Birmingham for specialist treatment and to begin her long recovery.

The shooting brought her a massive wave of support as she began her recovery. She received thousands of letters of support from people all around the world. When addressing the UN General Assembly on her 16th birthday, she gave thanks to all of those who supported her and thanked them for the strength they gave her.

Since the attack, Malala and her family have settled permanently in Birmingham, where she now attends school, and her list of achievements continues to grow. From writing her own autobiography(“I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban”). to starting her own charity, The Malala Fund, which already has projects in Kenya, Jordan, Pakistan and Nigeria, she continually demonstrates the power of just one voice. She has even been the personal guest of Barack Obama. On meeting the President, she advised him to use education over war to combat terrorism. Sadly, she is still a target of the Taliban so is not able to return home, but she remains optimistic and dreams of one day returning to Pakistan to become a politician.

‘THEY THOUGHT THE BULLET WOULD SILENCE US, THEY FAILED, AND OUT OF THAT SILENCE CAME A THOUSAND VOICES’

On receiving the Nobel Peace Prize she has stated that this is not the end of her work, but only the beginning. It has given her the encouragement to keep fi ghting and her battle will not be over until every child has the right to free and compulsory education.

It saddens me to say that, before she won the Nobel Peace Prize, I had not heard Malala’s incredible story. She is truly inspirational and I am blown away by her determination, fearlessness, and the commitment she has to her beliefs. Not only did she take on the most deadly terrorist group in the world and survive, she has also shown the entire world just how big a difference one person can make.

I really hate being the newbie. I’m not a fan of getting lost. I don’t appreciate only knowing a

handful of people around campus. I don’t like that I still can’t remember what corridors in the library lead to which exit and I’m really not okay with the fact that I still haven’t found the perfect co� ee near campus. What makes it all worse? I’ve done it all before. I’ve done University. A whole four years of it, done and dusted. I have the crumpled essay plans and the disappointingly typed up Graduation Certi� cate to prove it. So could someone please explain to me why it isn’t easier the second time around?

Being a postgraduate fresher is the worst combination of new and old. I don’t know where anything is and I’m far too stubborn to ask for help. It seems that an undergraduate degree does not quite prepare you for postgraduate life – at least not entirely. My major issue with being a fresher this time around is that I

don’t want to be confused with the real freshers. Real enthusiastic and bewildered freshers who have the perfect excuses for getting lost and sleeping in and going to class hungover. I’ve done all that already and – maybe excepting midweek drinking – I’m not hugely keen on repeating any of it. Instead I’m going to continue living in ignorance rather than admit that maybe going to a library introduction might have been a good idea (although the one at Edinburgh had six � oors and I knew my way around that � ne... just saying.) I’m hoping that, at some point some, kind of secret graduate power will kick in, immediately telling me everything I need to know about Dundee that I was too stubborn to ask about.

Another problem is that, whilst an undergraduate degree tends to quiet the “what are you doing with your life?” questions at least until the start of fourth year, when a growing black hole abyss starts to loom in the distance just after graduation, that

STARTINGALL OVERAGAIN

STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN

rule does not apply for postgrads. I was under the impression that signing myself up for another blissful year of student discount would do the same thing. Imagine my surprise when mere milliseconds into the semester phrases like “PhD funding,” and “grant approval,” start milling around. It would appear that I’ll have to sort the rest of my life out within the next year. It’s on my “To Do” list, right after working out how to use Pay2Print.

Coming back to Uni has felt like walking through an interactive “100 signs you’re too old for this,” article; here are all the societies you don’t have time for, the £2 alcohol that you’d really rather avoid. All of this and without the comforting arrival of a SAAS payment every month. Honestly, I don’t know why we bother.

Digital painting is a relatively new phenomenon, having only entered the mainstream over the last 20 years or so. As advances in technology surge ever forward, thousands upon thousands of opportunities in digital painting – and digital art in general – are opening their doors to those curious enough to wander in.

I may seem a little old fashioned when I say this, but we should never underestimate the power of

a handmade gift. Certainly, I cannot pretend to make every present I give, in fact, I make very few, but every once in a while it makes for a nice surprise.

Around the latter end of term, we tend to, in our year, organise a secret Santa among a number of us. I remember from the opening of the presents that those which garner most commentary tend to be the handmade ones – a picture frame fi lled with photos or a cardboard replica of a Macbook Pro. The very act of making something causes you to really think about it, and it is that thought that touches people. I have been with those who were worried a handmade gift may seem cheap, and that the receiving end will be insulted, but when they took the plunge, the recipients were delighted.

Let us get one thing straight; I am not talking about building a set of chairs from scratch (though if you want to, please go ahead); a handcrafted card will do. Besides, handmade can mean anything you have invested time into.

My advice to you, is that this Christmas – or whenever you happen to be giving gifts – consider making some-thing as an option, no matter how terrible at crafts you may think you are. Mind you, I am not placing crafted gifts on a shiny pedestal above bought ones. You will be no lesser of a person if you buy everything, and no greater a person if you make everything, but it does help to break things up a little, and if you are strug-gling for ideas with gifts, I often fi nd the solution is in something made.

For weeks now the Kurdish city of Kobani has been under

siege by the obscurantist death cult known as IS. These

savages are armed to the teeth with equipment left behind by

the fl eeing Iraqi army and have rolled over much of Iraq and Syria

with little resistance. They have however met their match amongst

the rubble and ruins of Kobani. The male and female defenders

of the beleaguered city stand stoically against the invaders armed

only with ageing Soviet machine guns. There cannot be a clearer

case of good versus evil; the strong, liberated Kurdish women

facing down an enemy so depraved they would have them in

shackles, reduced to mere slaves.

The truth is Turkey and the West

remain deeply suspicious of Kobani’s

defenders, the Kurdish Peoples

Protection Units (YPJ), because

of their historic links with the

PKK, a Marxist-Leninist group

who fought a bloody insurgency

against the Turkish authorities for

decades. However the PKK, and

their imprisoned leader Abdullah

Öcalan, have since renounced

authoritarianism and revolutionary

violence and embraced a kind of

libertarian socialism associated

with the late Murray Bookchin. Gone

are their ambitions of statehood, instead

they now focus upon creating autonomous self-

governing municipalities, a true experiment in

participative democracy, akin to movements in

Catalonia and the Basque regions during the

Spanish Civil War. Property previously owned

by the authorities has been turned over to

worker-managed cooperatives and women are

being empowered like never before

in a bottom-up anarchist revolution.

Yet the Turkish Government, the

US, and the EU still classify the PKK

as a ‘terrorist organisation’ with the

Turkish Foreign Ministry, recently

failing to distinguish between the

PKK and IS, claiming both to be as

bad as each other.

LEWIS WOTHERSPOON

Since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War the Turkey-Syria border has served

as a gateway for any would be Western Jihadist’s to ply their trade in Syria, but

as thousands of Turkish Kurds rushed to the aid of their brothers and sisters in

Kobani the once porous borders were sealed fi rmly shut. After more than a month

of blockading Kobani, Turkey’s recent climb down, allowing Iraqi Peshmerga

into Kobani to reinforce the defenders, is nothing more than a cynical manoeuvre

to avoid internal strife in the midst of growing international pressure. Recent

demonstrations over Turkey’s behaviour have proved to the Erdoan regime that if

Kobani falls so, too, does the fragile peace process signed with the PKK and their

derivatives in 2013.

Indeed, the American role in this debacle, much

like their Middle Eastern Policy in general, leaves

a lot to be desired. Before the US were providing

air support to the YPJ in Kobani, US Secretary

of State John Kerry argued that Kobani was

“not key to US strategy”. It was not until weeks

of international pressure, with the world’s

press descending on the Syrian border like locusts, that the US upped their bombing runs and dropped humanitarian aid and arms for the isolated defenders, with Kerry saying it would be “irresponsible”

not to. A cynical commentator would be forgiven

for suggesting that the US response was merely a

reaction to external pressures out with their control. If anything is to come from this mess one can only

hope for increased cooperation between the Syrian

Kurds and the West in the battle against IS. After

all, the limitations of US airpower are blindingly

obvious and unless there are boots on the ground

IS cannot be degraded let alone destroyed. If the West and its coalition partners are looking for a secular democratic ally in the region we should look no further than the Kurds, for the barbarians were at the gates of Europe and Turkey with the second largest army in NATO sat idly by.

CURRENT AFFAIRSCURRENT AFFAIRS

“Police rescue eight Eastern European slaves from a Hampshire farm”! A shocking headline but one that is unfortunately becoming more common in the British press. � is is just one example of the many discovered incidents of human tra� cking over the last year in the UK. Often from Eastern European countries but occasionally UK residents themselves, those who fall victim to tra� cking are subject to a variety of practices including organ harvesting and sexual exploitation.

Statistics published for the � rst quarter of 2014 show just how vast the problem in the UK is, what with 556 cases recorded during this time period, while the Human Tra� cking Foundation estimate there to be 20,000 people working in slavery in the UK. In response to this problem both the UK and Scottish governments have proposed legislation to combat tra� cking. � e UK Modern Slavery Bill would

increase jail sentences for those convicted of tra� cking and ensure compensation for victims. It is currently passing through the House of Commons and is at the Report Stage, having already had the � rst two readings. � e anticipated Scottish Government Bill comes on the back of a Private Members Bill initially proposed by local Labour MSP Jenny Marra and aims to consolidate and strengthen the criminal law on the matter in Scotland while ensuring greater support for victims.

‘ WHILE THERE ARE SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN SCOTLAND EACH YEAR ONLY A FEW ARE REPORTED TO THE CROWN OFFICE. ’

THE UNSEEN CRIME

� e most recent development on the issue occurred last month when the Heads of the Prosecution Services for the British Isles met with government representatives at Holyrood for a Summit on Human Tra� cking. One key thing discussed was that ,while there are several incidents of human tra� cking in Scotland each year, only a few are reported to the Crown O� ce, often because victims do not realise they are in fact victims. Speaking at the summit Police Scotland Deputy Chief Constable Iain Livingstone pointed out that in one case the victim did not realise they were a victim because they were living a relatively decent life in comparison to their previous life before being tra� cked.

� e Lord Advocate, who was chairing the summit said that the event had allowed prosecutors to agree to work together allowing cross-jurisdiction working in an attempt to disrupt tra� cking, and that it was important to understand the emotional and economic bond between the victim and the tra� cker.One thing that all this action has shown, however, is that this issue needs to be kept in the public eye if we have any chance of trying to reduce the number of victims. For, while we may not want to admit it, this issue is real and it could be happening right on our doorsteps.

STORY OF A VICTIM

Fredek was tra� cked from Hungary on the promise of being able to earn £2000 a month working in a UK factory.On arrival in the UK he was stripped of his passport and held in a house as a prisoner. � ere were others kept in the same property and all received physical threats against them.

Instead of the £2000 job he was promised he was forced to work for £3-5 a week in restaurants and distributing � yers. He was also forced to steal and open false bank accounts using his details. All of this caused him to feel afraid and suicidal. Finally after some months Fredek was able to escape and seek help, however not all those in servitude are able to escape!

FILM Big Hero 6

(in cinemas 7/1/2014)After two years of the harshest, sparkliest winter the world has ever known, Disney fi nally steps out from the icy whirlwind of Frozen with their latest animated offering. Based on trailers and early reviews, Big Hero 6 is a high energy action packed thrill ride adapted from a Marvel comic. Visually innovative, Disney’s tale about a boy and his squishy robot is emotionally engaging and, thankfully, a million miles away from the sugary sweetness of Arendelle.

ME Alien: Isolation

(available now on all platforms, RRP: £44.99)The iconic Alien franchise has long awaited a game adaptation to come along and fully capture the menacing atmosphere of Ridley Scott’s original movie. Isolation makes the very wise decision to concentrate on recreating the sense of constant threat and danger famous in the fi lms. You don’t run screaming through the Nostromo with a fl amethrower, incinerating Xenomorphs and rogue AIs as you go, oh no, you have to rely on your wits to survive, use the environment and fi nd places to hide. Because if that alien fi nds you, it’ll take more than

Signourney Weaver and a trusty ginger cat to save your skin.

Panasonic RR-SR30 Voice Recorder (available in Japan 17/10/14, UK release to follow, RRP: £50)I’ve done it. I’ve fi nally done it. I’ve found the most irritatingly hipster piece of pointless technology the great nation of Japan has to offer. A voice recorder styled like those fabled cassette tapes you heard your dad talking about in the 90s. My pile of vintage jazz LPs, which I have lovingly collected despite having nothing to play them on, is amateur-level hipster practice compared to this gadget. Truly amazing and absolutely necessary for recording your daily poetic musings on the superfi ciality of man. Thanks, Japan.

the fact that you can drop in at the beginning

Ebola. The terrifying virus that is rampaging its way around the

world. We ought to defi nitely pack up and run in fear to the Outer Hebrides IMMEDIATELY. Or should we?

At the time of writing the Ebola virus has killed nearly 5000 people, according to the World Health Organisation. These cases are mostly in West Africa, and mainly confi ned to three countries: Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The fear is that, as we live in such an interconnected world, this virus will spread uncontrollably to the furthest reaches of the earth, wiping out a major percentage of the population. But is this accurate? Should we worry?

The short answer, no. The long answer… still no.

Certainly in our current day and age we are bombarded with images of how these things can turn out. Cinema

EBOLA SHOULD WEBE SCARED?

I’VE HEARD TALK OF THE SPREAD OF EBOLA BEING SIMILAR TO THAT OF 28 DAYS LATER OR WORLD WAR Z. TO ME, THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE POINTLESS SCAREMONGERING.

plays no part in helping calm peoples nerves when it comes to plagues, viruses and apocalypses etc.

I’ve heard talk of the spread of Ebola being similar to that of 28 days later or World War Z. To me, this just seems like pointless scaremongering.

The only consolation we gather from these fi lms is that, worst comes to worst you could become a zombie for real and not just a cheap costume made from that old Primark t-shirt and some ketchup. Either that or you will be the guy who dies 10 minutes into the movie… which is defi nitely my plan.

AND THEN, you’ve got the conspiracy theorists.

Is Ebola a bioweapon that has been designed by the evil United States military to get rid of the problems in Africa? Or maybe it is a money-spinner for the Centre for Disease Control? After all, they have created that new Ebola vaccine, and have to try it out on someone don’t they? Might as well airdrop Ebola into Africa and give it a bash!

As per usual, these conspiracy theories do nothing but provide us with a nonsense explanation for something we don’t fully understand. If you believe them, fair enough… you aren’t the only one, but if people don’t believe you, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Ebola is transmitted from wild animals to humans, which is then spread through interaction between bodily fl uids. They reckon the source of this outbreak was from someone eating a form of bush meat, which, due to the lack of modern health care and medicine in Africa, has resulted in a rapid spread in the area.

With the average fatality rate at around 50% (fl uctuating between 25% and 90%) you can understand why it is constantly splashed across the world’s media.

We can look to viruses and fl u pandemics in the past to better understand and predict how Ebola will pan out.

The Black Death or simply ‘The Plague’ ravaged an estimated 75-100 million of the global population between 1347 and 1351. It came to Europe when rats carrying fl eas were brought by merchant ship from Central Asia. These rats carried the disease, which spread rapidly across Europe. While the disease never disappeared completely, it tapered off, recurring occasionally but not as devastatingly as before.

Spanish Flu began to appear in the early 20th century. This was a particularly dangerous form of infl uenza, as many as 50 million are believed to have died. Nevertheless, it disappeared almost entirely without explanation in 1919.

Although these are only a couple of examples, they are very signifi cant cases in our history that killed millions and altered the world as we know it signifi cantly.

Will Ebola be as bad as any of these? I tend to doubt it. Our medical technology today is far more advanced than it was even 20 years ago, several vaccines are already in the process of being made available and really, so long as you watch who you kiss and wash your hands, you will be fi ne.

So DON’T PANIC. And if, by the time this article is published, 50% of the world’s population has been eradicated, my apologies for its ill-timed nature.

This Month’s Sci-Tech Groundbreakers

A BACK TO THE FUTURE inspired hover board is in the works named ‘Hendo Hover’ from a California based Tech Company. � ey are currently raising funds on Kickstarter, claiming a magnetic � eld generates the li� o� the ground. Whether this is true, we shall see! � ey have certainly beaten their fundraising target of $250,000, so people must have faith.

A new lithium ion battery is being developed that claims to charge a battery to 70% in two minutes, which will also last for 20 years. Today’s batteries last an estimated three years at most, and take approximately two hours to charge. If this means my iPhone will last more than 10 hours before needing charged, I won’t be complaining!

A Polish man who was paralysed in 2010 has regained the ability to walk using a frame a� er ground-breaking surgery. � e surgery transplanted cells and nerve tissue from his nasal cavity and ankle to his spinal cord, creating a bridge across the gap in the cord. AWESOME!

A New York hospital has used MRI scan data to create a 3D printed copy of a two week-old baby’s heart that had several problems. � e printed heart allowed surgeons the chance to study the organ and develop a strategy before any invasive surgery began. It is normally the procedure to stop the heart and examine it before surgery can begin, but the 3D printed heart takes away the risks associated with this! 3D printing is � nding many di� er

Scientists at the University of Rochester in New York have discovered a method of cloaking objects using a system of lenses, rendering the object ‘invisible’. It is claimed to be the � rst cloaking device to provide a multidirectional ‘invisibility’. Examples of applications for this technology could be to allow surgeons to see through hands during operations, or allow drivers to see their blind spot. I’m sure you could think of many more creative applications for it. I personally plan on robbing a bank.

THE STUDENT GUIDE TO ETHICAL-HEALTHY LIVING

IN DUNDEE Emilie Balloux

L ike most Freshers, my lifestyle last year was powered by alcohol and its partner in crime,

Domino’s Pizza. I lived in a constant ‘brain fog’…know the feeling? It’s crazy how your diet can impact your brain’s performance and overall energy; this is why it’s important to give it some attention and actively improve it. However, choices we make when we buy food not only impact our health but are also crucial for our globalized world. It is important to make the right choices for our health and for the causes we actively want or don’t want to support. I’m not asking you to be perfect but why not try?“Why should I even bother?” you ask…

Amongst other reasons, buying locally means you know where your food comes from and incidentally means exposing your body to less chemicals used in long-distance preservation. Moreover, you will be supporting small-scale farmers, allowing them to steer clear of mass-production pressure and harmful methods (such as

the use of pesticides and fertilizers). Furthermore, non-intensive farming causes less stress on the environment: it leads to a healthier soil, less polluted ground water and, in turn, helps reduce climate change. Take pride in supporting your organically rich region!

If this hasn’t convinced you, head over to the next Farmers’ Market and have a bite of one of the huge apples on display; let the sweetness speak for itself. Riddled with free samples of cheese, wine, cakes and more, who needs Tesco?! It has now been two months since I adopted this lifestyle: I have never felt so energetic and had so much spare money (Adieu Domino’s, I won’t be missing you!). Harmonizing the way we consume with the society we want to be a part of starts with being informed and making the right choices.

At the age of 23 and with only 25 dollars in his pocket, Adam Braun found himself travelling through the streets of India. It was down these humid and horrid alleyways that he did something he never done had before, struck by the intense poverty, he began to talk to the begging children, in an effort to alleviate their most immediate troubles.

Yet, when he asked what they wanted most in the world, he never anticipated the answer he received from one boy.

“Just a pencil.” Came the pained reply from the boy sitting on the fl oor. Having heard this, Adam left his job on Wall Street and with his very last rupees, he set out in earnest to begin real philanthropy. Burning with the desire to make a difference to children’s lives who are stuck in areas where education is not a given, not a choice, and widely unavailable. He began Pencils of Promise and has kept to the promise he gave to the street urchins of India.

While education is something we take for granted, for many around the world it is simply not an option. Staggeringly, 250 million children of primary school age lack basic reading, writing and math skills.

‘WHILE EDUCATION IS SOMETHING WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, FOR MANY AROUND THE WORLD IT IS SIMPLY NOT AN OPTION’

In response to this, Pencils of Promise builds schools, trains teachers and funds scholarships. Since 2008, the charity has set up 249 schools across Asia, Africa and Latin America and delivered over 16 million educational hours to children in poverty. The charity aims to not only generate funds necessary to build the schools and provide scholarships for children, but also continually strives to maintain both the schools and the funding. The funds are in turn raised by teams, branches and individuals all across the world. All of this help to sustain these

schools and scholarships. Pencils of Promise then trains local teachers, employs local contractors, and involves the local community as much as it possibly can to sustain the schools.

Locally, the Dundee fundraising team, set up by Olivia Spaethe in 2014, is the fi rst of its kind in Scotland, and amongst the fi rst few in Europe. So far on campus Pencils for Promise Dundee has run several successful events including a ‘Nuts and Bolts’ themed night at the Union, ‘Chores for a Cause’ where the charity does dishes for Freshers in exchange for donations, and other events such as Open Mic Nights and Bake Sales. All of the funds raised go directly to the dream Braun begin back in 2008.
