Signature handover ECI "Stop TTIP" in Brussels, 3.263.920 people say "No" to TTIP & CETA!
Lillian Bilocca (AKA Big Lil) was born in Hull in 1929 to a working class, fishing family. In 1968 the City of Hull suffered the loss of three trawlers, The St. Romanus, The Kingston Peridot, and The Ross Cleveland, all within two weeks. The triple tragedy cost the lives of all but one crew member (58 men). With her husband and son at sea, Bilocca took it on herself to take on the trawler owners and the government, to make the fishing industry safer. Deep sea fishing was and still is the most dangerous working environment. Lillian mobilised the fisherwives, of Hull’s Hessle Road while the men were at sea. She demanded the industry be made safer. That all trawlers should have a trained radio operator and working equipment, a rescue ship to be on duty when trawlers were fishing. She demanded an end to “Christmas Cracker Crews”, a term to describe a crew of untrained men trying to earn extra money, often used by owners at Christmas time. These could be bus drivers, factory workers or bin men who, whilst on leave, tried to earn extra money. She wanted full safety checks on all ships and encouraged men not go out on unfit vessels She insisted regular radio checks on trawlers and if there was no contact in 12 hours, a search to be started. It was not uncommon for a trawler to be out of radio contact for 12 days. She wanted a ban on fishing in winter storms, that often took trawlers down. She took her fisherwives to parliament and met with the Prime Minister. She met with the trawler bosses and suffered death threats before winning her battle. The government immediately put through safety legislation and Lillian was credited for making the industry safer. Unfortunately she made enemies and never worked in the fishing industry again, after being black listed by the owners. Her brash, straight talking Hull working class image was used against her by the media. After building her up they did their best to bring her down. On an appearance on Eamonn Andrew’s, (who she got on with) This Is Your Live she was asked what fisherman do when they get home. She explained that married ones took the wife out. The single ones saw their tarts. Tart, in Hull, at the time meaning girlfriend. Everywhere else the term implied prostitute. Fisherman in other ports were turned against her. They were told by employers that she would put them out of jobs. Her insistence on standing on the dock to check vessels were in order was highlighted as unlucky. In a superstitious fishing community women did not enter a dock, let alone a trawler, she did both. She received poison pen letters and even death threats…. Never to her face though. She continued her fight although dropped out of the limelight. After her husband died she left the fishing community. She died of cancer in 1988 aged 59. Before she died she gave all her carers a headscarf bought from the local market. The headscarf was what her fisherwives were known as, the headscarf army.

FCK mascot helps garrison kickoff Combined Federal Campaign
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, kicked off this year's Combined Federal Campaign by shooting soccer balls at a goal tended by Betzi, the friendly devil mascot from Fußball-Club Kaiserslautern.
After taking his shots, Zetterstrom said he wanted his donation to go toward the Family Support and Youth Programs, where funds go toward youth sports in Kaiserslautern. Soldiers and government civilians are known for their giving nature, Zetterstrom said, adding that he hopes this year that they will consider donating to CFC.
“Many federal employees are altruistic and want to do something better than themselves,” Zetterstrom said. “This is just a small way they can give to the local community or charities around the world.”
Last year, federal employees in the Kaiserslautern area contributed more than $325,000 – more than any other Army garrison in Europe, said Antonnete Fernandez, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern’s community area project officer.
“This year we would like to go above that,” Fernandez said. “CFC gives you an opportunity to give to someone less fortunate. There are hundreds of charities, from cancer care to mosquito netting for children in Africa.”
CFC is an American tradition that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The campaign runs until the beginning of December. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy launched the program as a way for federal employees to donate to causes of their choice. Each year, hundreds of thousands of dollars are donated to good causes.
Employees can get pledge cards from their unit's CFC program manager or donate online, Fernandez said.
The Oct. 3 lunch time campaign kickoff was held at Pulaski Park. Garrison staff fired up a grill, serving barbequed hamburgers and hotdogs. Afterward, Zetterstrom climbed into a dunking booth. For a small donation, garrison staff took turns tossing balls to dunk Zetterstrom, Command Sgt. Maj. Gene Canada and other garrison leaders. Nearby, children got their faces pained and played on an inflatable castle.
Under soccer goal netting, Betzi – who represents the local German “Bundesliga” soccer team, known locally as FCK – joined garrison leaders to cut a ceremonial cake. The military community’s ongoing commitment to charities, despite difficult economic times, shows something unique about those who serve in Kaiserslautern, Fernandez said.
“It means that we care,” Fernandez said. “We want to make a difference in our world.”

From the Second survey diary
Onboard the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen we are currently performing an ecosystem survey that will help to increase our understanding about the living resources of the continental shelf, species assemblages and their linkages with the environment. To do so, we are conducting different studies during these 14 days of survey including acoustic assessment of pelagic fisheries, stratified assessment of demersal fisheries, sea-bottom impact of bottom trawling, oceanographic measures, plankton biomass estimation and sampling, marine mammals, birds and turtle’s distribution and the exploration of the sea-mountain and canyons off Cape Lopez. All these activities will generate a great amount of data that will need to be processed and analyzed once at land.
During the survey onboard the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, we will assess fisheries resources and we will collect benthos samples, both inside and outside the Marine Park with the intention of monitoring changes in the ecosystem between a recently closed fishing zone, previously exploited, and a contiguous currently trawled area. Results from this and following surveys will help us to understand how ecosystems recover after the closure of fishing activities and what effects can bring the creation of new Marine Parks on the marine biodiversity of West Africa. Preliminary results from trawl catches suggest bigger size and higher species diversity inside the park, than outside. One distinguished difference is that inside the park we got several big royal spiny lobsters (Panulirus regius).
So far we have conducted almost 50 bottom trawl stations. In many trawl hauls 20 to 40 different species have been identified. Most of these have been below 30 cm, but occasionally some big individuals have been caught. One African brown snapper (Lutjanus dentatus) was above 1 m long and weighted almost 20 kg. A Gorean snapper (Lutjanus goreensis) was close to 1 m long and 12 kg. One day we got a big Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) during the trawl, it seemed to be in good shape and after measuring we could release it again to the sea.

Superhero students are taking on the world without their cars
Greener travel to lectures
By Michael Brown
SUPER students are taking "heroic actions" to try and reduce how much they use their cars.
After a week of cryptic clues, including campus-based bat signals, the No Car Superstar campaign launched yesterday, with the aim of getting more people on to public transport.
The Northumbria Students Union-run scheme, follows a band of eco-superheroes who challenge students to take on a series of "mini-missions".
All students start as an "Average Jo" and progress five levels to become "No Car Superstars", after which they will be entered into a prize draw to win a state of the art bike from the Cycle Centre in Byker.
Northumbria Students' Union's President, Jo Rhodes, said: "No Car Superstar is an innovative challenge to encourage students in Newcastle to rethink the way they travel and is a refreshing take on traditional greener travel campaigns.
"We are really proud of the campaign and are pleased to be able to tackle such important issues in partnership with Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University Students' Union."
The launch saw students given the chance to try out a smoothie making bike, have a superhero makeover or receive a free massage from cosmetics firm Lush.
They were also told about the scheme's monthly competition where students are invited to post their car-free experiences on a website with the best walking away with prizes such as a meal for two or shopping vouchers.
No Car Superstar has been funded by the Tyneside Travel Partnership, Northumbria and Newcastle Universities, with a donation from Go North East and support from Newcastle City Council.
Stephen King, bus operator Go North East's marketing & sales manager, said: "It's great to be involved in such a pioneering campaign which makes people think about how they get about.
"No Car Superstar is a great campaign and fits well with our own innovative approach to giving students greater choices and reasons such as discounted fares, to leave their cars behind."
The campaign comes at a time when for cyclists are gearing up to celebrate the publication of a new detailed action plan, Delivering Cycling Improvements in Newcastle, which will map out how the city pans to improve life for those on two wheels.
Building on the previously agreed Cycling Strategy for Newcastle its key aim is to create a vibrant cycle culture with one in every five trips under five miles, rather than the current one in 50 journeys, being taken on a bike by 2021.
Cycle campaigner Bill Dodds said: "Cycling groups, councillors and council officers have worked together to produce a realistic plan to help get more people on their bikes.
"The action plan will act as a reference document for all planning and transport developments and is an important part of our proposals to create seven strategic cycle routes in Newcastle. If good quality, safe, direct and convenient bike routes are built, I'm sure that people will use them."
Newcastle Cycling Campaign chair Katja Leyendecker, said the new report, to be published tomorrow was "a significant step."
"The cycling community has been campaigning for this sort of Dutch-level cycling commitment for years and we all agree what needs to be done next.
"A network of high quality cycleways is what gets people to consider cycling as a real, viable and safe alternative.
"Bike trips to work, shopping, meeting friends and riding to school will become a convenient and pleasant way of getting from A to B.
"We are chuffed, and very much looking forward to playing our part in this transformation.
"In some ways the journey has just begun. We now must ensure the Cycle City vision is translated into reality. It's going to be tough, but with focus, continued political will, firm leadership and learning from our continental neighbours, it is possible."

Stop the War "Mass Assembly: Afghanistan - Time to Go!" Trafalgar Square/Downing Street - 08.10.2011
Part Two - The fantastic crowd and participants
To mark the 10th anniversary of the commencement of the disastrous war in Afghanistan, the Stop the War Coalition organised a Mass Assembly in Trafalgar Square on October 8th 2011, drawing around five thousand people from all over the country.
Throughout the afternoon a long list of passionate guest speakers spoke to the crowd, including Wikileaks founder Julian Assange (replete with electronic tag and police minders), investigative journalist John Pilger, musician and composer Brian Eno - who had contributed a soundtrack to the Stop The War video: What is the True Cost of the War in AQfghanistan? which ran on the large video wall above the stage, blogger Sanum Ghafour, Lauren Booth - muslim convert sister-in-law of as-yet unprosecuted war criminal Tony Blair, Labour party icon Tony Benn (President, Stop the War), renegade politician and firebrand George Galloway (Vice-President, Stop the War), Lindsey German (Convenor, Stop the War), outgoing Stop The War chairman Andrew Murray, incoming chairman Jeremey Corbyn MP, Bruce Kent and Kate Hudson from CND, Clare Soloman and many, many others. A great line-up of musicians, rappers and poets also took part, entertaining and educating the crowd and after the last guest speaker had finished the whole crowd upped-sticks and marched the short distance down Whitehall and arrived en masse literally right up against the gates of Downing Street - catching the police completely on the back foot for about 15 minutes - where the assembled crowd jeered and booed at full volume for the next hour and a half whilst a petition was handed in to number 10 Downing Street by the marvellous 104 year old veteran peace campaigner Miss Hetty Bower and Jeremey Corbyn MP. Great fun was had by all!
Despite the chaos and pandemonium and the panic on the faces of the armed police officers on the other side of Fortress Downing Street (where all our blood-drenched war-mongering prime ministers hide from The People), there were no arrests, though one homeless woman did try very hard at the end to get herself arrested so she could score a bed for the night and a couple of hot meals. The police did not oblige her, so she went back hungry to her cold shop doorway to wait for the oncoming Winter to kill her instead.
It seems obscene to me that Her Majesty's Government is happy to currently spend £4.5 billion per year fighting an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, yet we cannot feed and house the homeless in the United Kingdom because, strangely enough, the country is bankrupt. I wonder if there's a connection?
