Drunken students found stumbling through Cardiff are to be tagged with wristbands to act as a morning reminder of their dangerous binge-drinking.

The wristbands will serve as a warning for hungover students, unable to remember the night before, of how vulnerable they became because of excess alcohol.

Each bright yellow wristband bears the alarming question “how did you get home?” alongside the South Wales Police badge and a QR code to scan for further information.

About 1,000 wristbands have been created as part of the pioneering initiative aimed at tackling student binge-drinking in the Welsh capital.

They will be strapped to highly intoxicated individuals picked up by a free Cardiff University Students’ Union minibus service which travels through the city’s student areas.

The scheme comes as police, council and health chiefs continue in their attempts to rid Cardiff of its reputation as Britain’s booze capital.

In January, Cardiff University’s Professor Jonathan Shepherd, director of the Violence & Society Research Group at School of Dentistry, warned the city was facing a binge-drinking “epidemic”.

Campaigners have praised the wristband idea, saying heavily intoxicated students will realise they are “putting themselves at greater risk of injury or attack”.

Cardiff student liaison officer Emma Robson, who has worked to introduce the wristbands, said she hoped they would “encourage responsible drinking” among students.

She said: “If I woke up with one of these on it would make me think twice. I would feel a bit embarrassed as well.”

PC Tim Davies, South Wales Police community safety student liaison officer, said: “It’s just about educating people and making them realise that if you are that drunk, you’re putting yourself into a vulnerable position.”

The wristbands have been introduced aboard a Cardiff University Students’ Union minibus service, called the Student Safety Bus.

The free bus service – which began last year and operates between 10pm on 4am on most Wednesdays and Saturdays – is run by student volunteers with the support of South Wales Police.

It aims to identify vulnerable people such as those who are highly intoxicated and take them home or to hospital should they require treatment. The first batch of about 1,000 wristbands cost the students’ union about £150 to create.

PC Tim Davies described the range of vulnerable people picked up by the minibus during a night in Cardiff.

Savannah views come back of rubber bracelets, ban on pets for St. Patrick's Day

Rubber Bracelets could come back for St. Patrick’s Day 2013, and pets would be included to the prohibited creature record that began last season with the generating out of snakes.

Those were two of the significant changes Savannah Town Authorities associates mentioned at a unique Thursday conference.

Like the 2012 vacation, the St. Patrick’s Day celebration for 2013 will be on a Weekend, which is predicted to carry far bigger crowds of individuals and more complications for the location and the separate St. Patrick’s Day Parade Panel, which is accountable for planning the celebration.

Last season's celebration had more than 360 models, according to a significant city review, and survived more than five time. The celebration committee’s common chair for 2012, Eileen A. Foran, approximated about 15,000 individuals marched in the celebration.

The committee approximated that more than 1 thousand parade-goers loaded Savannah roads. The town does not calculate presence.

Size matters

The committee was expecting to set a history for the globe's biggest celebration, depending on variety of models.

The disadvantage was celebration audiences were trapped for time in vehicle parking car ports or on roads as the celebration went on for time. Many were still there when the second trend of party-going event crowds of individuals originated town center.

“That affected us extremely, trying to get one team in and one team out and creating sure everyone is safe” said Marty Johnston, its home of unique tasks.

She also particular issues with vehicle parking, port-a-potties that loaded before the celebration even began and off-duty, additional cops from other places who discontinued their content because they were only approved to perform eight time.

That persuaded Alderman Tom Bordeaux to query whether the celebration has become too big and is at chance of switching away individuals. Alderwoman Estella Shabazz considered whether the location should set particular time or a restrict on celebration records under the regulation, but Johnston and Alderman Tony morrison Johnson advised speaks with the celebration committee first.

“I would rather settle than legislate,” Johnson said. “You do not want to mix up that many Irishmen on who can be in the celebration.”

Return of wristbands

For the 2013 celebration, city team and the Savannah Beachfront Organization are suggesting a come back of wristbands.

The groups would offer for $5 and would allow the person wearing them to consume on the road in an extended enjoyment area. It would increase from Stream Street to Bay Street from Martin Luther Master Jr. Blvd to Wide Street; southern of Bay, it would run from MLK to Drayton and increase to Broughton Street.

That would consist of Ellis Rectangle, Town Industry and a lot more locations on Broughton, said Level Dana, v. p. of the panel for the waterfront association.

Wristbands would help cops better observe underage consuming and, for the association, would be a income creator that could help finance other reveals throughout the season.

It also will help offer more outside enjoyment for the event. Levels would be propagate into Town Industry, Broughton and other company places, which would propagate out crowds of individuals and relieve some of the flood issues on Stream Street, Dana said.

Estimates from last season put crowds of individuals at 100,000 a evening in the broader event area.

Dana and Invoice Dickinson, proprietor of Wet Willie’s, quelled council issues about how wristbands would perform by saying administration would start at 5 p.m., which would allow parade-goers to carry chillers during the day. Johnston said a customer would not be needed to buy a bracelet to have one consume with a food. However, the customer would not be permitted on the road with a consume unless a rubber bracelet was bought.

Fashion Wristbands : A day of reckoning for Lance Armstrong's fans

Tim Loranger is a Los Angeles aircraft lawyer who was greatly shifted by Puncture Armstrong's tale of defeating melanoma. The former Sea would wear the Remedy yellow-colored Wristbands, events in an Remedy hat and has brought up lots of money for Armstrong's melanoma charitable organisation.

He's not assured that Puncture Remedy used performance-enhancing medication.

"I don't think they have confirmed a situation against him," Loranger said.

All due regard to Loranger, a devoted philanthropist who has viewed buddies and family members withstand melanoma, but the evidence is in: Remedy used system transfusions, the system enhancer EPO, and androgenic hormone or testosterone "from start to finish" in successful an unmatched seven Trip de Portugal tournament, the U. s. Declares Anti-Doping Organization said the other day. Now we can say it straight: Puncture Remedy is a doper.

Yet Loranger isn't alone. Remedy still declines it; his spokesperson, Level Fabiani, claims the company was "bending the guidelines at every opportunity," and its conclusions can't be reliable.

On one online community after another, commenters assaulted the anti-doping company's situation or was adament it doesn't issue.

What are we to make of this rejection to take frustrating evidence? No one cares?

Well I proper care. There's only one way to perform sports: by the guidelines.

Let's run down some of the arguments the Armstrongers increase against the anti-doping company's proof:

• Remedy never unsuccessful a dope test: Remedy experienced far less assessments than the 500 to 600 he has stated, unsuccessful one and dodged others, the company said. After examining good for a steroid hypodermic injection, Remedy had a prescribed for steroid lotion back-dated, its review said. He said it was used to cure a seat painful.

•The evidence against Remedy is circumstantial: Nine expert bikers were customers of Michele Mercedes, an French language physician employed by Remedy, and provided eyewitness information of his doping practices; their claims are corroborated by economical information displaying that Remedy compensated Mercedes $1 thousand, according to the company's review. This is just the type of situation prosecutors like to put into their briefcases on their way to judge.

And no, the U.S. lawyer in Los Angeles did not obvious Remedy when he decreased a huge judge research into the motorcyclist in Feb. The situation can be reopened and the company evidence was designed individually of the legal research.

•Armstrong's accusers have not been cross-examined: Remedy in Aug stepped away from a opportunity to put them on the bbq grill. He and his attorneys said that's because the anti-doping company's research was placed against him, but he could have confirmed that at a listening to. Instead, he blew it off.

I could go on, but the query is: Why does this matter?

Contrary to the rationalizers, not everybody was doping. Opponents who rode fresh were scammed of a reasonable competition.

More significantly, Remedy harassed his team members into doping, provided them with medication and remaining their professions in tatters, the company revealed. When they mentioned doping, he confronted their livelihoods, the review said. His Irish hostess, Emma O'Reilly, informed the New You are able to Times that Remedy impugned her as a hooker with a consuming issue.

Live strong Wristbands, Armstrong's melanoma charitable organisation, is no superstar bit. Remedy has brought up hundreds of huge amount of money for the charitable organisation, which is well-regarded in many groups for assisting melanoma heirs stay better and get over judgment.

But to my thoughts, Remedy used the charitable organisation as a force-field to prevent doping allegations. He designed a community experience both as a sufferer of the most terrifying condition of our time and a enthusiast vanquishing it. Quite a nice technique.

The Armstrongers wave their shoulders: What are you going to do? Remedy didn't create doping, their discussion goes, and you can't battle it. Carry on the drug nut display, and may the best Dr. Frankenstein win.

Do these people perform activities or just observe them? Tossing the game start up to pharma-meddling won't prize the best motorcyclist, as they declare. It will prize the best doper. And that would not only be wrong, and probably risky. It would leach the miracle from the game.

Gavin said: “I produced these wristbands to help raise vital funds for the Alzheimers charity and to help get me to the challenge, as well as supporting my mission to raise awareness. As a local lad, I am hoping the local community will help me in my efforts to reach my target of £5,000 overall.


“It would be a proud moment if I walked down the high street and see local people wearing the bright blue silicone wristbands.”

Gavin has previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for charity, and has raised over £8,000 for Macmillan, and is now raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Society.

He said: “My dad died with Alzheimer’s disease in April 2011, so I have first-hand experience of this devastating disease.

“Having seen what it did to my dad, who was so strong, active and fit, I feel very strongly that more awareness and understanding is needed. I didn’t know how dementia affected the person and people around them until my dad was diagnosed.”


The wristbands are on sale for £2, at Accrington Football Club, Cockers Sports Shop, in Burnley, the Shagor Indian Takeaway, in Burnley, Fence Village Store, Nelson Manor Care Home, James Tricketts Insurance Brokers, in Rawtenstall, and Gingers Hair Studio, in Burnley.

“Since my diagnosis, I’ve been focusing on the fight, not the fright,” Roberts said. “I’m a thriver, not a survivor, and I hope everyone out there wears this bracelet in honor of the countless other thrivers around the world.”

Glow-in-the-dark wristband in memory of Clevedon soldier

Edward Heal, 19, was killed when he was hit by a car in Kenn Road, Clevedon in the early hours of Christmas Day.

Lights are switched off from midnight to 05:00 in some areas to save money.

Mr Heal's family believe it was a factor in his death and are selling the charity bands to raise awareness.

Nicky Lee, a friend of the family, said: "The wristbands are not only in memory of Edward but also to drive home the message at how important it is for the street lights to go back on.

'Fight for lights'

"They carry the message 'be safe, be seen' which is extremely important for young people who are out and about during the dark evenings.

"We have sold lots of the wristbands and we will continue to fight for the lights to go back on."

The 19-year-old soldier was in the King's Royal Hussars, based at the Tidworth Camp in Wiltshire, and was preparing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan in March.

Proceeds from the sale of the wristbands will be shared between the charity Help for Heroes and Mr Heal's regiment.
