UCU: Bursaries have also been slashed
University and College union general secretary Sally Hunt comments on news that tuition fees will fall by just 0.5% in 2012:
"In the main universities that have cut their fees have also had to slash the bursaries they can offer potential students.
"So while students may be attracted to a cheaper course they will probably receive less financial support when they are at university.
"The fact that students who have already applied have just a month to make such important decisions exposes the utter shambles of the government's higher education policy.
"We now have a staggering situation where people have to work out if they can afford to study certain courses, rather than follow their dreams."

Presidential candidate Dahir Mohamud Guelleh said the government was not opposed to the commissions it had appointed, but was opposed to appointing its supporters as judges.
In an interview with the BBC’s Somali Service, he said the criteria for the nominated commissions was that the candidates should be between the two sides, but that the nominees should be neutral.
“The commission’s requirement was that the contestants be fair to all contestants, that they be the necks of both parties, but that they selected those who were considered to be supporters,” said Dahir Guelleh.
Candidate Dahir Guelleh has called on the federal government to change its membership committees to a more neutral one.
“We are not looking at the nominee, we are looking at the nominee who was insulting, hostile and hostile to the president yesterday,” he said.
The government filed the disputed commissions a day ago at the Decale Hotel, and the commissions began training on the electoral process and how to apply the procedures of the political agreement.


Annandale mystery illness…
Massive clean-up exercise begins
-- Environmental officer reports unsanitary conditions
December 1, 2006
A massive clean-up exercise is being undertaken at the Annandale Secondary School after a number of students claimed that they were ill.
At a press conference held at the Regional Education Office, Triumph, Region Four's Chairman Mr. Clement Corlette said the school compound and surrounding area are being cleaned.
Corlette said the decision to clean the school was made when he met with the Vice Chairman and the Regional Education Officer for Health.
Corlette said that the Regional Environmental Officer visited the school and reported that the compound was in a deplorable state.
The Environmental Officer reported that there was water under the school building.
This water is most likely contaminated, the officer said.
He also reported that septic tanks were overflowing and that water tanks were dirty.
Further, the underground reservoir in the schoolyard is probably infected from the contaminated water beneath the school, the officer reported, adding that there are other factors that could cause students to fall ill.
Regional Executive Officer, Mohamed Deen said the clean-up project will include filling under the school with dirt and the installation of reservoirs above ground, among other activities.
Deen said the exercise should cost about $500,000.
Asked his view about supernatural forces being the cause of the illness the students complained of, Corlette responded that he respects all the people who believe this and added that the parents of the students were right to champion their beliefs.
However, he has to look at the situation scientifically.
The official added that the school canteen was demolished because it was an illegal structure built by unauthorised persons.
Parents pointed fingers at the school's canteen, claiming that the construction of the building had disturbed a ‘Dutch spirit' which made their children ill.
“The persons who will take over the canteen for the school will have to abide by the rules that are outlined by the Ministry of Education,” Corlette declared.
Nineteen students were hospitalised last week and parents had pledged to keep their children away from the school until the canteen was demolished.
Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital had however declared the children medically fit and said they found nothing in their condition that warranted treatment.
Some students had complained of stomach pains, cramps and shortness of breath.


After voting to dissolve parliament, Israel will have its sixth election in four years
(MENAFN) The Israeli parliament decided to dissolve itself, triggering the country's sixth election in less than four years.
Former talk show presenter Yair Lapid, now foreign minister, will take over the Knesset from Naftali Bennett, Israel's shortest-serving prime minister, on Friday shortly after midnight.
The government, a coalition of ideologically varied parties that included an Arab faction, disintegrated barely over a year after it was created, in a historic move that deposed long-term leader Benjamin Netanyahu after 12 years in office.
After days of wrangling over a new election date, the resolution to dissolve parliament was carried with 92 votes in favor and none opposed.
It has finally been agreed that Israel will elect its next leader on November 1st.
Mr. Lapid, 58, will be the 14th individual to occupy office in Jerusalem until a new leader is appointed.
He was a key architect of the departing coalition administration, a combination of eight political parties that attempted but failed to find common ground after a protracted period of deadlock.

Families in pre-industrial Britain had a lot of functions and responsibilities, however recently some sociologists argue that the family has lost these functions.
The case for the view that the family has lost its functions – Since industrialization many of the functions the family used to do has been transferred to other specialized institutions. For example, the NHS now looks after the family’s health were previously the family would have done so.
The case for against that the family has lost its functions – Sociologists such as Fletcher and Shorter say the family hasn’t lost its functions. They argue that due to a higher standard of living and less poverty parents are in a better position to care for the family and therefore they can carry out the functions better.


Turkish cargo ship with crew of 12, sinks off country's Black Sea coast
(MENAFN) Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed on Monday that a Turkish cargo ship, the Kafkametler, carrying a crew of 12, sank off the country's Black Sea coast during a severe storm on Sunday.

According to Minister Yerlikaya, the ship ultimately sank after colliding with the breakwater. The incident occurred amid challenging weather conditions characterized by strong storms in the region. The Interior Minister stated that, as of now, authorities have been unable to establish contact with the ship's crew.

Minister Yerlikaya assured that once weather conditions improve, immediate search and rescue activities will commence. The sinking of the Turkish cargo ship highlights the perilous conditions faced by maritime vessels during severe storms and underscores the urgency of responding to such incidents to ensure the safety of the crew.

Madrid, Aug 11 (IANS) Spanish La Liga club Espanyol confirmed on Thursday that Chinese international striker Wu Lei is leaving the club to return to his homeland.
The 30-year-old is returning to Shanghai Port, where he played before coming to Spain, scoring 151 league goals in 296 appearances.
Wu arrived in Spain in January 2019 and scored 16 goals in 126 appearances for Espanyol, becoming the first ever Chinese player to score in La Liga in the process.

The arrival of striker Joselu from Alaves in the summer further reduced Wu's chances of playing this season, and he did not participate in the club's pre-season training camp or travel with the squad for a friendly in England.

According to a new L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll, the vast majority of Democratic voters in the next three primary battlegrounds want the government to bail out struggling homeowners. Most don’t seem to care that the Fed rescued Bear Stearns; they just want the same treatment.
Wait, before you go…
Los Angeles Times:
The poll was conducted among likely Democratic primary voters in the three states with the next elections: Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina. Voters’ responses were roughly similar in all three.
Large majorities of Democratic voters said they supported federal action to bail out distressed homeowners. In Pennsylvania, 67% of self-described Democrats said they favored such a program, even when it was described as a “bailout.”
Most Democratic voters also said they thought international trade had hurt the economy. In Pennsylvania, 55% of Democratic voters said trade had hurt and only 12% agreed with the Bush administration (and most economists) that trade helped the economy.

Some 30 per cent of people who sought assistance from the psychological treatment centre of the Women’s General Association of Macau in the first six months of this year said that they had had suicidal thoughts, while some even said that they had harmed themselves.
The Association, commonly known as Fu Luen, reported that the percentage involved 99 people, 40 of them minors, the youngest an eight-year-old who self-harmed and a 10-year-old who had attempted suicide.
In the first half of this year, more than 90 per cent of those who sought help from the centre were suffering emotional distress, while 80 per cent were affected by different degrees of relationship problems, such as family problems, marital issues, interpersonal relationship problems and emotional issues, the association’s representatives said, adding that the proportion of those who were affected by work and school pressure accounted for 13 and 15 per cent of the total, respectively.
The representatives noted that in the first six months of this year the centre handled more than 3,300 cases and provided psychological counselling over 32,000 times, pointing out that the centre also arranged treatment for 908 help-seekers last year.
Among them, 683 were new to the service, for whom 3,058 appointments for psychological counselling were arranged, the representatives added.

Saudi Arabia Confirms First Case of Coronavirus
Saudi Arabia on Monday announced its first case of the new coronavirus, the health ministry said, according to the state news agency.
The infected person had come from Iran through Bahrain, the report added.
At a news conference on Sunday, Abdelali said that a total of 2,200 hospital beds have been allotted to potential quarantine cases.

Cops collecting placards: Naini
Home Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy on Monday alleged that the opposition parties were raising hue and cry as they were unable to digest the developmental works taken up by the TRS government.
Hyderabad: Home Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy on Monday alleged that the opposition parties were raising hue and cry as they were unable to digest the developmental works taken up by the TRS government.
Addressing a press conference here at the TRSLP office, Naini said that the opposition parties were groping in the dark as they had no issue to agitate about. Hence they have come up with the demand that Dharna Chowk should not be shifted.
The fact is that the Chief Minister had never said that the Dharna Cchowk will be relocated. The locals wanted it to be removed to another place. Even the morning walkers wanted the Dharna Chowk to be shifted.
The opposition parties instead of staging a peaceful protest went berserk and resorted to violence, attacked them with rods and damaged chairs. They attacked the colony residents who were protesting peacefully and they should apologise for the same.
Replying to a question, the Home Minister said that the police personnel in mufti were collecting placards, which were given to them by some of the locals before leaving the place and there was nothing wrong in it.
Regarding the Khammam issue where farmers were handcuffed, Naini said that the police officials responsible were suspended.
Animal Husbandry Minister T Srinivas Yadav said that he would cut the tongue of those who dare to talk against the Chief Minister or his family members. He questioned where was the need to bring iron rods to the Dharna Chowk if it was a peaceful protest. He said that some of the miscreants deliberately attacked the locals who were protesting peacefully.
MLC Karne Prabhakar said that the State Government did not take any decision with regard to shifting of Dharna Chowk. He said that issue was pending before the High Court and a final decision would be taken by the court.
He demanded the Hyderabad City Police to take stern action against those involved in the violence. Prabhakar claimed that the local residents have been demanding shifting of Dharna Chowk for the last 10 years.
He said it was wrong on the part of Communist leaders to give a call to capture Dharna Chowk. He also held other opposition parties responsible for the violence that took place on Monday.
He accused the Telangana Joint Action Committee and other organisations of provoking people on the issue.

Further evidence has emerged of Dungannon’s economic miracle with the news that the district council area had the greatest number of new jobs created over the past year in Northern Ireland, excluding Belfast.
A total of 606 new posts were filled in the Dungannon District area last year, according to the latest figures from the Department of Enterprise, which is more than three times that of neighbouring district councils Cookstown (177) and Omagh (147).
Only Belfast had a higher total with 2,049 new jobs created.
Dungannon’s job expansion exceeded that of more densely populated urban areas such as Derry, which had 438 new jobs and Craigavon with 450 posts.
The district has enjoyed a strong streak of job creation in the past few years with significant growth in the engineering and food industry sectors, making the local district the most productive industrial centre West of the Bann.
The resilience of the Dungannon economy is also demonstrated by the fact that the area has experienced a surge in new businesses which have left the town’s four business parks with long waiting lists.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Bangladesh authorities yesterday deployed hundreds of police to protect Buddhist temples in the region where about 400,000 Muslim Rohinygas have sought refuge from unrest in Myanmar.
The move came amid fears of attacks on the religious minority in revenge for events in
Thousands of supporters of a hardline Islamist group staged protests in the border town of Cox's Bazar after Friday prayers, calling on Myanmar to halt what they called the 'genocide of the Rohingya who are in the
minority in Myanmar.
Most of the Rohingya refugees have fled to camps around the Bangladesh border city where there were already 300,000 Rohingya before the latest unrest erupted on August 25.
There has been a huge outpouring of sympathy in Bangladesh for the persecuted Muslim group, with media giving blanket coverage to accounts of massacres and torture by the Myanmar army and Buddhist militia.
Cox's Bazar police chief Iqbal Hossain said 550 police have been deployed in the region, including at 145 Buddhist temples, to prevent ethnic violence.
He said police had stepped up security so local Buddhists, who have been established for
centuries, 'don't feel panicked.
'It's a preventive measure, he said. 'We've also set up
check-posts across the district.
The reinforcements have come from the port city of Chittagong to watch temples, including the 300-year-old Kendriya Shima Bihar at Ramu, which hosts important Buddhist relics.
Police were also patrolling outside Buddhist temples in Ukhia and Teknaf the nearby towns where most of the newly arrived 400,000 Rohingya
refugee took refuge.
District authorities have also set up an inter-religious communal harmony committee since the Rohingya crisis started.
Jyotirmoy Barua, a top lawyer from the Buddhist community, said that some 20 armed police were at a temple at Ramu in Cox's Bazar yesterday.
Buddhist leaders in Bangladesh have protested the anti-Rohingya violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state and have urged Myanmar to resolve the crisis.
They said there have been some minor incidents targeting the Buddhist community.
'They (Bangladeshi Buddhists) are feeling insecure. There is
uneasiness, Barua said.
Police in neighbouring Chittagong district have also stepped up security at dozens of Buddhist temples, a senior police official told local media.
Buddhists make up less than one percent of Bangladesh's 160min people. They are well integrated in society but have faced past attacks.
In 2012, some 25,000 Muslims attacked Buddhist temples and businesses around Cox's Bazar after a Buddhist allegedly put an image defaming the Qur'an on Facebook.
At least 11 Buddhist temples were torched in the riot. There were allegations in the local press that some Rohingya joined the attack.

Cheney Appears to Confirm Waterboarding Use
In an interview with a conservative radio talk show host, the vice president apparently confirmed that U.S. interrogators waterboarded Al Qaeda suspects.
Wait, before you go…
Vice President Dick Cheney has confirmed that U.S. interrogators subjected captured senior al-Qaida suspects to a controversial interrogation technique called “water-boarding,” which creates a sensation of drowning.
Cheney indicated that the Bush administration doesn’t regard water-boarding as torture and allows the CIA to use it. “It’s a no-brainer for me,” Cheney said at one point in an interview. Cheney’s comments, in a White House interview on Tuesday with a conservative radio talk show host, appeared to reflect the Bush administration’s view that the president has the constitutional power to do whatever he deems necessary to fight terrorism.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said at the BRICS virtual
summit that member nations should understand security concerns of
each other and provide mutual support in the designation of
terrorists and that this sensitive issue should not be
'politicised', according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA),
Trend reports citing The Tribune.
The comments came days after China blocked a joint proposal by
India and the US to designate Pakistan-based terrorist Abdul Rehman
Makki as an international terrorist under the UN sanctions
committee. In a statement, the MEA provided the details of the
prime minister's suggestions and comments at the two-day BRICS
(Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) summit that concluded on
Friday. 'The Prime Minister also noted that as BRICS member we
should understand security concerns of each other and provide
mutual support in designation of terrorists; this sensitive issue
should not be politicised,' the MEA said.
After China blocked the proposal to designate Makki, Indian
government sources said the decision runs counter to its claim of
combating terrorism and signals its 'double standards'. Makki has
been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalising youths
to resort to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly
in Jammu and Kashmir, they said.
The PM also highlighted India's development partnership with
Africa, Central Asia, South East Asia, and from Pacific to the
Caribbean, the MEA said.
