Buddhist spiritual leader Dalai Lama to address the faithful at Manchester Arena during summer tour

The Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama will address tens of thousands of people at the Manchester Arena as part of a three-day visit to the city.

The Buddhist spiritual leader will make Manchester the focus of his UK tour in June which will also see him make one-day stops in London and Scotland.

It is the first time Dalai Lama has visited Manchester since July 1996 when he addressed thousands in the final public event at the Free Trade Hall.

The 76-year-old, a former Nobel Peace Prize winner, will address crowds at the arena on June 16, 17 and 18.

His followers say he will spread the message of non-violence and compassion in the wake of last summer's riots in Manchester and Salford.

Spokesman for the Dalai Lama, Thubden Samdup, told the M.E.N: “This visit will be an opportunity for people across the UK to hear the message of this globally recognised spiritual and moral authority.

“In particular his message will encourage youth across the UK to seriously consider their unique potential as decisive catalysts for peace, able to bring to reality the better world they hope to inhabit.”

The addresses will include a special event for young people in the city on Saturday 16 June, and a series of teaching sessions on Sunday 17 and Monday 18 June.

The 14th Dalai Lama has been at the head of the Buddhist church since 1950 and made his first visit to the UK in 1973.

Tickets for the Manchester event will go on sale in mid-March. For more information and further announcements visit mcr-arena.com or dalailama2012uk.org .

Subject: RE: Redesign killer junction at Bow
To: David Kelly

Dear Mr Kelly

Bow roundabout and cycle safety

Thank you for your email.

The Mayor is very concerned indeed by the recent fatal collisions at
Bow roundabout and his thoughts and sympathies are with the friends
and family of both victims.

The Metropolitan Police is investigating both collisions in order to
determine the specific causes. Alongside this, Transport for London
(TfL) is urgently reviewing the operation of Bow roundabout. In
addition, TfL will review all major planned schemes on the Transport
for London Road Network and all junctions on the Cycle Superhighways
already introduced. This builds on work TfL is already doing to
improve cycling safety, for example by trialling blind spot safety
mirrors through the Cycle Superhighways programme and developing Heavy
Goods Vehicle (HGV) driver training courses to specifically address
the safety of vulnerable road users. TfL will widen this work by
initiating an independent review of the safety of HGVs used in the
construction industry.

The Mayor is determined to maintain and build upon the cycling
revolution that is happening in London and, while overall road safety
in London is improving, the recent fatal collisions at Bow have made
clear the need for all organisations involved, including TfL, the
Boroughs, the freight industry and the Police, to redouble their
efforts to further improve cycle safety.

Thank you again for writing to the Mayor.

Yours sincerely

Tony Preston

Public Liaison Officer

Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy

Dear Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy,

I am very concerned at the lack of ambition in this, in particular there should be more to support cyclists.

There should be a Target for commutes by cycle.

There should be a commitment to reduce air pollution.

Speed is a killer on Islington roads, the 20mph speed restriction should be enforced more.

There aren't enough secure places to lock up bikes, particulary at tube stations like Cally Road.

We could also benefit from more Tfl hire bikes, particulary at hubs and parks, like Caledonian Park with the Tennis Centre and football pitches.

As a Holloway resident, both holloway and seven sisters roads are nightmares.

There needs to be more bike lanes.

There is so much more that could be done to encourage, support and make cycling safer

Cycling: "Proposed removal of one-way restrictions on some City streets

http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/LGNL_Services/Transport_and_streets/Cycling/

Please email plans@cityoflondon.gov.uk by Thursday 8 September 2011 to show your support.

In 2009, the City made changes to a number of one-way streets to make the City more permeable, particularly for cyclists. Since then, the City has reviewed how these have operated and is very encouraged by their success. As a result, more streets have now been assessed and a consultation on altering these streets is underway.

The consultation period for changing the one-way system on eighteen streets is open until 8 September 2011. The affected streets are listed in the table below, which sets out the proposed alterations.

Cyclists are being urged to email their support for proposals to revert 10 one-way locations in the City of London to two-way for cycling.

As reported on the Cyclist in the City blog, the City of London has opened a consultation until Thursday 8 September 2011, and all cyclists are being urged to email plans@cityoflondon.gov.uk showing their support.

The streets that could be affected are:

Little Britain
Stoney Lane/White Kennett St/Cutler St
Aldermanbury St
Copthall Ave/Great Swan Alley
Carmelite St/Tallis St
Kingcote St/Watergate
Carter Lane/Creed Lane
Russia Row/Trump
Old Jewry
Furnival St/Norwich St
All the streets are fairly minor, but converting them to two-way for cyclists provides helpful ways to navigate the City more safely (by potentially avoiding larger roads) and more directly.

The latest proposal comes after the City successfully converted six one-way streets to two-way in 2010.

According to the City of London's own figures, concerns over safety over the first batch of streets that reverted to two-way proved groundless, and there have been large increases in cycling on those routes.

City Police also praised the earlier reversions to two-way, saying they'd caused no crashes and that "the ability for cyclists to avoid busy streets will be a contributing factor in improving road safety".

There's more information about the proposals on the City of London website.

Please email plans@cityoflondon.gov.uk by Thursday 8 September 2011 to show your support.

Cricket is not played in every country of the world. For example, when I lived in Tibet, I never heard about this game. Frankly, even now, I do not fully understand cricket! But when you live in India, how can you not be influenced by it? Cricket is one of the most important or prevalent games in India -- some might even call it one of the 'religions' of India -- so one way or another, one gets influenced by the game.

"The Sandemanian Meeting House in Highbury Quadrant"

The Sandemanian Meeting-House in Highbury Quadrant

On roaring iron down the Holloway Road
The red trams and the brown trams pour,
And little each yellow-faced jolted load
Knows of the fast-shut grained oak door.

From Canonbury, Dalston and Mildmay Park
The old North London shoots in a train
To the long black platform, gaslit and dark,
Oh Highbury Station once and again.

Steam or electric, little they care,
Yellow brick terrace or terra-cotta hall,
White-wood sweet shop or silent square,
That the LORD OF THE SCRIPTURES IS LORD OF ALL.

Away from the barks and the shouts and the greetings,
Psalm-singing over and love-lunch done,
Listening to the Bible in their room for meetings,
Old Sandemanians are hidden from the sun.

Aid to Tibet - Yushu Prefecture Health Initiative

Aid to Tibet is a programme of Tibet Foundation, which has been directly helping Tibetans in their homelands.

Yushu Prefecture Health Initiative is a five year £1 million sustainable project, which is requested by the local people and approved by the government. This is a joint project with two thirds of the funding from Tibet Foundation and the remaining third from the Chinese Government Department of Health and the Yushu Prefecture Tibetan Hospital. Since August 2010 we have raised £150,000 from our supporters and we would look to match this over the following years with ongoing appeals and support from trusts and other grants.

With excellent virtue and happiness
May these dependently arising appearances inseparable from emptiness,
Bring benefit and prosperity in all the worlds there are,
May the light of auspiciousness always blaze bright"

29/09/72 The Clock Tower, Caledonian Park
(Formerly Listed as:
MARKET ROAD
The Central Clock Tower of the
Caledonian Market)

GV II*

Built as the clock tower of the Caledonian Market. 1855. By
John Bunstone Bunning, Architect and Surveyor to the
Corporation of the City of London. Portland stone, with
ornament of cast iron, roof of slate. The tower is square in
plan with five stages, the first two wholly decorated with
banded rustication, the third and fourth partly so. Two round
arches project from each of the four sides, those on the south
projecting southwards, and so on; they have keystones and are
flanked by a rusticated pier on the tower side and a
rusticated anta on the outer side; their cornice continues
that of the first stage of the tower and there is a ball
finial to the anta; a concave buttress sweeps up from each
finial, rather in the manner of an inverted console, and meets
a continuation of the inner pier; both are crowned by a ribbed
cornice and bold double consoles.
The tower proper has a round-arched entrance to the south set
under a round arch with a keystone; there are round arches to
the other sides, now blocked (above this level the features
are identical on all four sides); plain moulded cornice;
round-arched windows to the second stage with ribbed sill and
keystone, and original glazing now partly obscured on all
sides; ribbed cornice; keyed oculus to third stage; ribbed
cornice; the fourth stage has paired, round-arched, louvred
openings with entablature, panelled spandrels and keystone
below a clock face with panelled spandrels; the clock by John
Morris of Clerkenwell, 1856; the whole of the third and fourth
stages set under a round arch of rustication; ribbed cornice;
the fifth stage has a balcony with elaborate cast-iron
brackets and railings and is arcaded, with three round arches
to all four sides forming a belvedere which acted as a
bell-chamber, the arches having entablature, keystone and
panelled spandrels; panelled frieze; deep bracketed cornice;
parapet with stone piers and rail, and cast-iron balustrade;
pyramidal roof with iron weather vane.
