ast month, when all was quiet

on the streets of London,

something magical hap-

pened. In one of the many offices of

Whitehall, just off the corridors of

power, a small group of people put

meaning to the term: ‘bipartisan’. I

am of course talking about the deal

struck among the three main parties

on the subject of press regulation.

This deal was one that no one

thought would happen, especially

after David Cameron left discus-

sions; but more importantly it was a

deal that only few can make sense

of. So what is this agreement and

why should we take any notice of it?

The Leveson report was set up fol-

lowing the phone hacking scandal,

where newspapers purposely hacked

into people’s phones to listen to

their messages, breaking the privacy

of hundreds of celebrities and ordi-

nary people. Lord Justice Leveson

sat through hours of witness ac-

counts from the victims, the politi-

cians and some of the perpetrators.

Following the evidence, Leveson pub-

lished a report suggesting how such

grievous invasions of privacy could

have been allowed in the media in-

dustry, and how they could be pre-

vented from happening again. It was

apparent that a new regulatory body

was needed to oversee the print me-

dia, Lord Justice Leveson proposed:

A regulator independent from poli-

ticians and journalists, backed by

legislation.

Legislation that enshrined the duty

of the government to protect free-

dom of speech.

A system allowing victims to settle

cases out of court.

Regulation from Ofcom for the

newspapers that would not join the

regulatory body.

Following the report, the three main

political parties largely accepted the

proposed measures, with only this

key difference: While Labour was

willing to implement legislation for

an optional press regulator; the Con-

servatives were unwilling to do the

same. They stated that legislation

was likely to limit free speech. This

claim is not one without reasoning -

legislation would give future govern-

ments the power to amend its mean-

ing and intentions in order to impose

censorship, but this small disagree-

ment has led to months of discus-

sion.

Until, finally, at the last moment, all

three parties agreed on the following

proposals:

An independent regulator estab-

lished by royal charter, the same

process that set up the BBC.

Changes to current laws to ensure

that amendments to the charter

could only be made with a 3/4s

majority in the House of Com-

mons.

While these proposals are a welcome

compromise to many, including the

group “Hacked Off”, though not so

much the print media, who have now

rejected them, you may be asking:

“What’s the point in reform? It

doesn’t have any effect on me.” The

whole point of this deal is protecting

free speech, while protecting us from

it. A new regulatory body should be

able to define between what’s in the

public interest and what a gross in-

vasion of privacy is, ensuring that we

will be able to enjoy a balanced and

objective news agenda for years to

come.

What do you think of the pro-

posals? Join the discussion:

ou may well agree with the

above statement without

even knowing what I’m talk-

ing about. Recent events support

this statement even further. One of

those events is the Eastleigh by-

election (which I will touch on later),

but the one I want to focus on is

what has happened in Italy. For

once, I’m not talking about Silvio

Berlusconi, I am in fact on about

how an Italian comedian managed to

get his party 25% per cent of the

vote in the recent election to find the

next Prime Minister of Italy. But how

can someone whose job is to be fun-

ny not make a laughable politician?

And what on earth is happening to

politics in general? I looked into the

situation to see if respectable de-

mocracy could be salvaged.

The man in question is Beppe Grillo

(above), the leader of Five Star Move-

ment, a political party against every-

thing politics. The 64 year old can’t

actually run for office because he

was once convicted of manslaughter.

However, he is easily the most influ-

ential man in the party. He makes

radical speeches all over Italy, ver-

bally attacking corruption and the

effects of recession. He also has a

hugely popular blog, which he uses

to name corrupt politicians and

cause controversy. One of his posts

included him stating that priests

should be allowed to have children

“so they don’t touch other people’s.”

All this lead to his party getting a

substantial chunk of the vote. But

why would people vote for such an

unlikely candidate?

To answer this question, I divert your

attention to Eastleigh. After Chris

Huhne stepped down as MP when he

was accused of forcing his wife to

take his speeding points, a by-

election was held to find a replace-

ment. In a shock to many, UKIP re-

ceive 27.8% of the vote-not bad for a

party who, until recently, were

branded as “a bunch of loony rac-

ists”! The reason behind this success

is much disputed, but in my opinion,

the result was a “protest vote”. Peo-

ple were so angry with Chris Huhne’s

dishonesty, they wanted to kick

‘normal’ politics up the rear. It’s the

same case in Italy. With all the scan-

dal around Silvio Berlusconi still

ringing in people’s mind, this shouty

funny man gave them a voice. A

voice that said no to corruption and

lies.

But let’s be honest, do the Italians

really want a comedian running their

country? And do we (in the UK) want

to put our economic fate in the

hands of a party that think “a five-

year freeze on immigration” is a

good idea? The simple answer is no.

So, my advice is to trust the stand-

ard politicians. You managed to be-

lieve in them at constituency level,

so why not national? If we regain our

hope in them, we will prevent elec-

toral results that really would make

politics ridiculous and useless…

Greg Hill-Turner 8N

With a comedian winning 25% of the vote in Italy, how do we prevent politics

becoming a laughing stock?

ast month, youngsters were

found to have made pretty

high purchases in the App

Store on iOS devices. This has

caused very high bills for their par-

ents to pay-one child spent more

than £1000 on purchases in the App

Store.

So, how does this happen? Well, a

game is downloaded onto an iOS de-

vice from the App Store with a

parent's permission since the game

is labelled as free. However, some

apps have in game money that can

be used to progress or gain an ad-

vantage. If you don’t have enough in-

game money, a message will appear,

redirecting you to the app store. In

the store you can pay with real mon-

ey to get extra coins in the game so

that you can easily buy new levels or

items quickly.

A child can ask a parent's permission

to buy the lowest amount of coins

which is usually about £0.69. The

parent will type in the password and

then the purchase is made. Then, if

you were to click on a different

amount of coins, the game will in-

stantly pay. In this way children can

buy very high amount of coins which

can cost more. Before they know, the

bill can go into the thousands.

A five year old boy called Danny had

accidently spent £1,700 on in app

purchases. He thought it was free

and asked his dad to type in the

password. The next day emails came

to confirm the purchases and the

parents were shocked at what had

happened. Danny said "I just clicked

on it because it said it was free". Ap-

ple has confirmed that the money

will be refunded.

So how can we stop this? The answer

to that is on the device. All iOS devic-

es have parental controls to control

what children can do. You can ac-

cess it by opening settings on your

device, then select General and scroll

down to Restrictions. Tap on Re-

strictions and select 'Enable Re-

strictions'. You will now be asked to

create a four-digit passcode. Enter

the passcode again for confirmation

and then scroll down to 'Allowed

Content'. There are many restrictions

available here, you can tap the

switch next to 'In App Purchases' to

disable in app purchases totally or

tap 'Require Password' so that a

password is required for every pur-

chase. Both of these can solve the

problem.

This shows what can happen by giv-

ing children a device with an app

store. So watch out and make sure

to activate restrictions.

ichard III (1452 – 1485) was

King of England from 1483

until his death in 1485 in

the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was

the last king of the House of York

and the last of the Plantagenet dyn-

asty. His defeat at Bosworth Field,

the decisive battle of the Wars of the

Roses, is sometimes regarded as the

end of the Middle Ages in England.

He is the subject of the play Richard

III by William Shakespeare. When his

brother Edward IV died in April

1483, Richard was named Lord Pro-

tector of the realm for Edward's son

and successor, the 12-year-old King

Edward V. As the young king trav-

elled to London from Ludlow, Rich-

ard met and escorted him to lodg-

ings in the Tower of London where

Edward V's brother Richard joined

him shortly afterwards. Arrange-

ments were made for Edward's coro-

nation on 22 June 1483, but before

the young king could be crowned, his

father's marriage to his mother Eliza-

beth Woodville was declared invalid,

making their children illegitimate

and ineligible for the throne. On 25

June, an assembly of lords and com-

moners endorsed the claims. The

following day, Richard III began his

reign, and he was crowned on 6 July

1483. The young princes were not

seen in public after August, and a

number of accusations circulated

that the boys had been murdered on

Richard's orders, giving rise to the

legend of the Princes in the Tower.

Shakespeare presented Richard the

third as the blackest villain of all

even though he reigned for only 2

years and died in a civil war. People

say he was the worst man who ever

lived and some might be right with

the fact that apparently he killed his

nephews (his recently deceased

brother’s sons), He stole the crown

and died wailing at a horse. During

his reign his son and wife has died

making his once ruthless lifestyle

worse. Many members of the Yorkist

establishment rebelled against Rich-

ard.

So the conclusion is that Richard

was the blackest of all criminals but

his reign was filled with sadness and

hatred filled from close relatives

deaths and rebellions from so-called

close friends. He took it out on the

world around him. Lately his body

has been found after many years of

searching because he was never giv-

en a proper burial so they found him

under a car park in Leicester.

ith the election and in-

auguration of Pope

Francis in the news, I

think it’s about time we started dis-

cussing religious music (some of

which happens to be the nicest stuff

around).

Probably the earliest music that we

can replicate today, with a few ex-

ceptions, is that performed within

Roman Catholic masses during the

Medieval Era. The Gregorian Chant,

named after (Pope) Saint Gregory

the Great, was the most common

kind of ‘song’ you would have heard

as it became (in the 11th Century)

the official music of the Roman Cath-

olic rite. It is very simple kind of mu-

sic, with no instrumentation or har-

mony, and was sung by the monks of

the Order of Saint Benedict eight

times a day! One of the most well-

known composers is a woman, Saint

Hildegard of Bingen: a remarkable

legacy in consideration of the long

opposition to the education of wom-

en in our history. We are still able to

hear Gregorian chants sung all

across the world in Roman Catholic

churches.

Eventually, the Gregorian Chant was

replaced with more complicated and

intricate music. Harmonies were in-

corporated into a style known as

counterpoint and the familiar round

gained popularity. The earliest

known type of this style of music is

‘Summer is Icumen In’ - a song writ-

ten in the Wessex dialect for six voic-

es. It is interesting to hear this song

performed, not only because it is

very beautiful but also to note how

much our language has changed.

Unfortunately, almost all the music

from this period is of unknown au-

thorship.

By the early 16th century, however,

the Renaissance was gaining pace

across Europe and music started to

become very sophisticated. The mel-

odies were more inventive and the

organ provided accompaniment.

‘Spem in Alium’, by the English com-

poser and Catholic recusant Thomas

Tallis, is a sublime Latin motet

(choral song) which is very popular

and is sung exquisitely by the Tallis

Scholars - no surprises there! Wil-

liam Byrd, another recusant whose

reputation and position as organist

of the Chapel Royal protected him,

was a contemporary of Tallis and

created some equally heavenly mu-

sic. His ‘Mass for Five Voices’ has

the marvellous clarity that character-

ises this period of music. Locally, the

South West Chamber Choir and

Counterpoint both perform this style

regularly and to a professional

standard. If heard in Buckfast Ab-

bey, it is easy to imagine the monks

singing the same songs hundreds of

years ago.

In the Vatican, too, composers were

producing some delightful pieces.

Scarlatti and Palestrina were Italian

Renaissance composers whose repu-

tations went before them. Both of

their versions of ‘Exsultate Deo’ are

magnificent. The pinnacle of this era,

however, must be Gregorio Allegri’s

‘Miserere mei, Deus’. This song was

transcribed entirely by memory from

Mozart when he was only 14 years

old, having heard it twice! This was

because the Vatican - in much the

same sense of mystery as enshroud-

ed the recent conclave - forbade the

publication of any music performed

there. Mozart’s eagerness to have a

copy on paper is testament to its

unparalleled beauty. There is a solo

for a treble which soars up to the

most spectacular high C - a feat

mostly beyond the reach of adult

sopranos.

The Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, is

very fond of music - particularly Mo-

zart - and has released an album!

Music has always been at the heart

of the Roman Catholic faith, and re-

mains so to this day. The faith has

shaped the music, and the music

has shaped the church, and conse-

quently European history. In order to

understand our musical roots, we

must examine our religious musical

tradition. By doing so, we can dis-

cover some of the most glorious

pieces ever sung.

How London’s risen to fame

ver the past 20 years,

London has risen to be

dubbed ‘The World’s

Architectural Playground’. The

likes of Rafael Vilñoy, Lord Foster

and Richard Rodgers have all

chosen at least one place within

the thirty-two boroughs to design

and build their architectural mas-

terpieces. Most recently, in

Southwark, Renzo Piano’s ‘The

Shard’ was completed. It is cur-

rently the tallest building in West-

ern Europe at 310m (1017ft) and

92 floors, of which 72 are habita-

ble. Along with this, there are

several other major projects pres-

ently under construction, both

across the Thames and over in

Canary Wharf. These have all

been in the pipeline for around

ten years, which shows that this

is not a slow process for a con-

sumer who requires housing or

office space.

Across the river, in The City of

London, the next two major pro-

jects are nearing the topping out

phase. These are 20 Fenchurch

Street (160m | 36fl | dubbed the

Walkie-talkie) and 122 Leaden-

hall Street (225m | also known

as The Cheesegrater). In my opin-

ion, these are the most controver-

sial projects to take place in Lon-

don to date. The bulging upper

floors of the Walkie-talkie put

most people off of it, but in fact,

it is a triumph of concrete, glass

and plastic. The sweeping white

plastic fins climb the entire struc-

ture on the east and west eleva-

tions. Once complete, the upper

floors will be open to the public,

with a restaurant and a ‘Sky-

Garden’.

The Cheesegrater, on the other

hand, is a celebration of steel

and curtain wall façade. At 225m

and 48 floors, this will be the sec-

ond tallest structure in the

Square Mile. It is entirely clad in

two layers of glass, and consists

Ryan Trower 9S

of a seven floor atrium and eight

‘mega levels’ (a framework of

seven floors) surrounding a cen-

tral strongbox and external yellow

lift shaft. This is my personal fa-

vourite project in London at the

moment, due to its complex steel

lattice which culminates into a

simple wedge shape.

There are also a few major pro-

jects springing up out of the ur-

ban sprawl, like in Vauxhall-where

the ‘Marker Pen’ (1 St Georges

Wharf) is approaching the top-

ping out phase. At 180m and 50

floors, this will become the tallest

entirely residential building in the

world. It will not be connected to

the mains electricity however, as

a wind turbine has been installed

upon the roof. This project has

been greatly delayed, following

an unfortunate helicopter crash,

which damaged one of the tower

cranes working on the site.

In Canary Wharf, there is no real

construction boom occurring the

moment, although there is one

smaller project under construc-

tion. 25 Churchill Place (130m |

23fl) is the first project to occur

in the business hub since 2004.

This has no real significance in

London, but some merit can be

issued for its unique diagonal

sweep on each corner.

So what does the future hold for

architecture in London? Well, we

can expect to see several new

clusters forming in Vauxhall,

Blackfriars, Victoria, Southwark

and Paddington, and several

smaller projects dotted around

the area. But the economic situa-

tion doesn’t bode well for some

major projects; already, two have

been put on hold because they

have run out of money. Never the

less, architecture in London, for

now it seems, is booming…

oday, mobile apps are at

their height. In June last

year, the Apple App Store

reached a staggering 30 billion

downloads! To put that into per-

spective, there are about 7 billion

people on earth today. As a result

of this massive trend in software

engineering, more and more devel-

opers are ditching the computer

software and swiftly learning new

programming techniques for mo-

bile devices.

Many popular games including: An-

gry Birds, Temple Run and Need

for Speed all took months to build.

Programming, or developing, is

the creation of apps, it's achieved

by writing strings of code (lines of

text which computers interpret)

which all build up to make apps.

There are many different program-

ming languages, for example Apple

devices, like the iPhone and iPad

use a different language to Android

Phones and Tablets. There are dif-

ferent developers, all creating apps

for different platforms.

So, you want to create your own

app? Of course you do! You can

have your idea available to the mil-

lions of users who access the App

Store/App Market every day. So,

what are the steps to producing

your own app?

Learn how to develop and publish your own mobile App

Ideas! Brainstorm on a

piece of paper, or a blank

word processing document.

Build up your ideas by scribbling

some quick sketches of the differ-

ent screens you imagine your app

will have. You could do this in a

note board or on a white-board.

Don't forget to keep referring back

to these so you don't go off track

during development.

Get the tools and knowledge

you need. Of course, you'll

need the correct software! If

you're going to develop for Android,

then you can download the

'Android Developer Tools' from

their website or via a search en-

gine. If you want to get your App

on the Android Market, however,

you'll need to buy a £25 subscrip-

tion which lets you upload your

app and publish it to the world.

Software aside, you need to know

how to use it. As I mentioned

above there are many different

programming languages , for An-

droid I recommend 'Java'. You can

teach yourself using Youtube vide-

os and Online Forums. Be patient

with yourself and ask around when

you encounter any bugs. Twitter is

a great place as there are so many

experienced people! Feel free to

ask me questions regarding An-

droid/Java via @AlfieCarlisle.

Begin the development! You

know how to use the soft-

ware, you know the lan-

guage, you have a plan. Keep your

initial ideas close to hand and

keep referring to them.

Now's the time if you want

to... to publish your App!

Bear in mind that whatever

platform you've developed for,

you'll need to pay a subscription to

the developer section of the plat-

form's Market or Store.

Now, go ahead and create your

app. Keep persevering and use this

n 1973, the first hand-held mo-

bile phone was made by

Motorola, weighing around 1Kg.

Ten years later, the first mobile

phone known as the DynaTAC 8000x

by Motorola was officially sold to the

public. It’s one feature was to be

able to have and carry a device capa-

ble of calling other similar ones al-

most anywhere. Up until 1995, mo-

bile phones were big, bulky and con-

tained a long antenna at the top. It

looked very much like some Cordless

Phones in the earlier years of the

20th century. Then in 1997 and

1998, mobile phones got smaller.

Some lost their antennas while oth-

ers kept to a small one but offered a

wide range of colours.

Even though there was slow improve-

ment for the first two decades, there

was a drastic improvement in the

last. We now have phones being re-

leased into the market that could

potentially be a replacement for a

home computer, with longer battery

life and a much larger capability.

So I’ve asked myself: How did this

evolution take place? The answer lies

in the question itself. The word evo-

lution gets across the point of little

changes taking place to a species

over time to form something com-

pletely new. The reason that this

happens is so that the species will

survive. This is exactly what happens

with mobile phone companies. In

order to make the most amount of

money, they release phones of better

capability than before so that con-

sumers will buy their products. In

response, other companies fight by

doing the same. So, what were the

changes that took place?

Only in 1999, did mobile phones

start to lose the cordless phone look

and become compact as well as

lightweight. Then, a year later, the

world’s first touch screen phone was

introduced, showing evidence of

promising technology. Two years af-

ter that, colour and the use of cam-

eras became available on phones,

with the first camera phone by

Nokia. 2004-2006 were the years

when mobile phones started to trans-

form into something that should be

stylish and personal, as Motorola

and LG had shown. Sony also

launched their introduction of music

and memory card support in phones

as well through their Walkman

phone. Then, the Smartphones en-

tered the market as Apple’s first iPh-

one was released in 2007, being the

first phone to contain an operating

system (iOS). Since then, the word

mobile phone slowly changed into

Smartphone, introducing many fea-

tures such as GPS-System, Wi-Fi, HD

screen and many more.

Whether it was for money or not,

companies have clearly made some-

thing, such as performance, fea-

tures, better each time in the phone

market and this will continue in the

future when better technology is like-

ly be developed.

s the RBS Six Nations has

finished, I have decided to

look at who impressed me

from the four home nations. Wales

were crowned the winners after an

emphatic win over England, this left

England second. Scotland had a

good campaign, and Ireland were

thwarted by injury, so, by results

had a bad campaign, however they

were able to integrate young players

into the team. England and Scot-

land weren't attacking enough for

me though, because they kick too

much possession away. I would also

like to add that Ireland were the

only team to beat Wales. My predic-

tions were incredibly wrong, I shall

remind you of them:

1. France - ended up 6th

2. England - 2nd

3. Ireland - 5th

4. Wales - 1st

5. Italy - 4th

6. Scotland - 3rd

There will be around 37 players

picked for the squad. In the Front

Row, I believe Gethin Jenkins

(Wales), Rory Best (Ireland) and

Adam Jones (Wales) will be first

choice if no injuries take place. Jen-

kins was a great leader against Eng-

land, Jones has mastered whoever

he came up against in the scrum

and Best is a consistent hooker and

also gets involved with play. My sec-

ond choices for each position would

be Cian Healy (Ireland), Ross Ford

(Scotland) and Dan Cole (England).

In the Second Row, Alyn Wyn Jones

(Wales) is so influential in all the

'Dirty work' Wales have to do, and

his partner, if he is fit, will be Paul

O'Connell (Ireland) for he was a

great leader in the 2009 tour and

has experience. Backups will in-

clude the colossal Richie Gray

(Scotland), Courtney Lawes

(England) and Possibly Jim Hamil-

ton (Scotland).

In the Back Row, I reckon it will be

Welsh whitewash of Sam War-

burton, Justin Tupuric and Toby

Faletau. These guys have played

together consistently for the last

year and have always stood out

amongst the other back rows. Oth-

ers to go on the tour could be the

likes of Dan Lydiate (Wales) if he is

fit, Sean O'Brien (Ireland), Tom

Croft (England) and possibly Chris

Robshaw (England).

The preferred Half-Back partnership

for Warren Gatland will be Ben

Youngs (England) and Johnny Sex-

ton (Ireland) because they both

want have an attacking flair for the

game. Owen Farrell wouldn't make

my Lions tour because he can only

kick, he doesn't do enough rugby in

hand for me. Instead of him I would

bring in Dan Biggar (Wales), who

has just grown and grown in his role

as fly-half. As replacement to Ben

Youngs I would bring in Mike Phil-

lips (Wales) or Greg Laidlaw

(Scotland), although probably Phil-

lips because Laidlaw is good for

Scotland mainly because of his

kicking and he wouldn't be kicker

on the Lions.

In the Centre, I would reunite the

pair from 2009 with Jamie Roberts

(Wales) with Brian O'Driscoll

(Ireland). Although I hope this isn't,

it would be a great way for O'Dris-

coll to finish off his career. Roberts

is a massive tackler and does all the

work in the rucks. Others that will

go on the Tour could be Brad Bar-

ritt (England), Luke Marshall

(Ireland) and Jonathan Davies

(Wales).

On the Wing, I think George North

(Wales) and Tommy Bowe (Ireland)

would be favourites if they stay fit.

Others picked will be Simon Zebo

(Ireland), Alex Cuthbert (Wales) and

Tim Visser (Scotland).

Finally at Full Back, Leigh Halfpen-

ny will be first choice (Wales), Rob

Kearney (Ireland) and either Alex

Goode (England) or Stuart Hogg

(Scotland).

There will be:

14 from Wales

10 from Ireland

7 from England

6 from Scotland

I reflected on the Six Nations to

make my decisions and you may be

asking, why so little English play-

ers? This is because England have-

n't played proper rugby since beat-

ing Scotland in the first game. They

were outstanding against New Zea-

land, but we haven't seen that per-

formance since. What happened in

Cardiff was going to happen sooner

rather than later. Wales, Ireland and

Italy were the three exciting teams

in this tournament because they

came to play rugby.
