High Voltage Festival – Saturday
By Ash in live
High Voltage is yet another addition to the burgeoning series of summer festivals currently plaguing London. Setting itself as a potential competitor to the global Sonisphere Festival which sits alongside the established Download and Reading Festivals, High Voltage boasts a simple three stages: Classic Rock, Metal Hammer and Prog Rock. Located in Victoria Park, East London, this festival of elders could potentially attract up to three generations of rockers.
A short walk from Mile End tube station leads to Victoria Park. En route, there is a pub carving up a whole, roasted pig for wandering rockers. The dress code for today generally includes men sporting black t-shirts with amusing slogans like ‘More rock than a crack house’ printed on the chest. ‘WALK WITH ME IN HELL!’ demands an average sullenly clothed posterior. If there’s an IT crisis somewhere in London this weekend, the experts are likely to be contained within these temporary, green walls.

Niger Food Crisis
By Ash in RandomPut simply, the Niger Food Crisis is worse now than it was in 2005 : triggered by drought and lack of crops. There has been little mention of this in the press and millions of people are threatened by death.
There can be no DEC appeal until there is greater public awareness. So while we’re all wrapped up in what’s happening on this tiny island, the papers are paying scant attention to what tragedy is about to unfold.
We – no matter who we are – are never far from death, irrespective of circumstance.
The very least anyone can do is draw attention to the crisis.
Please – I implore you to do something: post an article on Facebook; Twitter about the crisis – use whatever means you have at your disposal.
Yes, you can donate to the cause, but right now, what is needed is the attention of the UK so that the DEC feel they can run a national appeal with the major news channels.
Thanks.
