HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE ! A Peek into the Past
Issue 4
IN THIS ISSUE:
January 1st 45BC - New Year is celebrated! New Year's Day was first celebrated on January 1st in 45BC. The Roman dictator Julius Caesar
established the Julian calendar on the advice of the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria. Caesar added 67 days to the year 46 BC in order to repair the damage done to the imperfect Roman calendar by the passage of time. A Julian year was 365.25 days long so an extra day was added every four years. Unfortunately the Julian calendar introduced an error of one day every 128 years which would eventually cause the seasons to drift. The Gregorian - or modern calendar was adopted in 1582 to correct this error. A Gregorian year is 365.2425 days long which means that a one day error is introduced every 3300 years. This is corrected by having only 97 leap years every 400 years. The way it’s worked out is as follows: Every year divisible by four is a leap year but every year divisible by 100 is not unless its also divisible by 400 in which case it is! The next time we skip a leap year is 2100.

GETTING MARRIED ABROAD?…
If you are using a tour operator and they are offering you a wedding package, ensure you know exactly what is, and what isn’t, included in your package. Ensure the wedding ceremony abroad is legally recognised by the UK. If you are planning a church wedding abroad, you will need to seek permission from the church authorities where you wish to marry. You may need to allow extra time so you may be asked to attend pre-nuptial consultations in your chosen country. If your wedding is to be performed in another language, other than English, ensure you have an interpreter present to translate the proceedings. If your marriage certificate is written in a foreign language you will need to ensure it is translated on your return to the UK. But above all make the most of your special day.
So He has finally proposed and You have accepted, but now the decision has to be made about the big day, where is it going to be? At home or abroad? If you decide to have it in an exotic country then keep reading carefully for tips we would like to give you... Ensure you can marry on your chosen date. Make sure you get this confirmed, in writing, with the celebrate who is to perform the wedding ceremony. Check you have a valid 10 year passport with at least a minimum of 6 months remaining. Check the weather for your proposed wedding date, ensuring there are no freak changes in weather predicted. Take out travel insurance and wedding insurance for all those unforeseen events. Ensure you read the small print so you know exactly what is, and what isn’t, included in the insurance. Find out if there is a minimum residence stay before you can get married. Ensure you have a list of all the required documents you will need in order to get married in your chosen country.

Top house-selling tips
Wardrobes should be culled. Place out-of-season clothes in storage. It might seem like hard work but you have to move anyway and when the time comes the job will be easier if you’ve already reduced the rubbish. The entrance hall is where a buyer forms their first impression. It should be clean, uncluttered, bright and inviting. If any rooms appear a little drab a simple trick is to use a higher wattage bulb to brighten things up.
The Americans call it ‘Home Staging’. And it was popularised over here by Ann Maurice in her TV series The House Doctor. Staging a home is not redecorating it. Redecorating a home focuses on the home owner, staging focuses on the buyer: rearranging the furnishings, pictures and accessories to best enhance its appeal. It aims to help a broad range of buyers see how they, and their belongings, would fit into the space. First and most important DECLUTTER! Go through each room systematically. Organize toys in boxes and hide them in a storage room or the attic. You can always take them out again when you don't have any viewings booked. Bookcases should be neat and attractive, not overflowing with tatty paperbacks.
14
Remove personal photos from all rooms if possible and replace with prints or ornaments. You want the buyer to focus on your home, not be distracted by your personal life. A fresh coat of paint really helps. Use a neutral colour (white, beige or magnolia). You can add a splash of colour with bright accessories: pillows, throw rugs, candles, etc.
With the housing market quiet and fewer first time buyers around how can you make your house stand out from the crowd? With furnishings, less is more. Leave space for the buyer to move around. Stack CDs and DVDs out of sight and remove photos from the mantelpiece. Clear the garage and the garden too. Mow the lawns, prune the shrubs and use pots of flowers for an instant welcoming effect. Don't leave bikes or toys lying around. You want the house to look well cared for so a coat of paint on the front door works wonders. Finally, when showing potential buyers round, have soft music playing in the background and light a couple of scented candles to create a nice atmosphere. With just a little attention to detail your FOR SALE sign will soon read SOLD! If thinking of a new house then look on the next page for some great ideas!
Bathrooms should gleam! No personal items should be visible. Use a grout whitener and wash or replace shower curtains and glass shower doors. Hang fluffy towels on the towel rails. Kitchens must also be spotless. Remove all notes, magnets, etc. off the front of the fridge. Keep work surfaces clean and clear out the cupboard under the sink. If cupboard doors are a bit out of date paint them with a neutral colour and buy new knobs for a fresh look.

Chevrolet Spark - The Daily Little Express The last time Chevrolet wanted to sell a small city car it took an existing one – the old Daewoo Matiz – and put on a shiny new ‘Chevrolet’ badge. There is no such cost and corner cutting with the new Spark though – this is a brand new design that was even voted for by the car’s customers. Chevrolet showed off three concept cars at the New York motor show in 2007, the Beat, the Groove and the Trax and asked the public to pick their favourite. The Beat won, and the funky styling of the concept car has thankfully made it through to the car that will be going on sale in March 2010. But despite not taking the cheaper option of re-badging an existing model, Chevrolet has not made a car that will break the bank. With prices starting at just £6,945 this is a cheap car. Even if you go for the top-of-the-range version you can still get change from £10,000. Get into the driver’s seat and the quality of the interior plastics shows where some of the savings have been made. The door panels in particular lack a feeling of sturdiness and feel like they’ll show up scratches over time. But despite not being made of the best of materials, the kit on offer is generous. The first thing that strikes is the stereo, which is turned on and controlled by a huge central button that makes it easy to use. It may be simplistic, but there is even the option to add a USB and aux input socket to the CD player so you can connect all manner of mp3 players. Some of the higher trim levels even add controls onto the steering wheel so you can change the volume without taking your hands off the wheel. Other toys on offer include climate control, four electric windows and alloy wheels. However, plump for the entry-level version and you’ll get none of these, the basic Spark really is simplistic and only boasts six airbags as standard. One safety feature that doesn’t feature as standard is ESP anti-skid technology. This is only available as a £350 option, which may explain why the Spark only scored four out of a possible five stars in the independent Euro NCAP safety tests.
Given the Spark is likely to spend most of its time in an urban environment, it is unlikely to be involved in many high speed smashes, and around town is certainly where the car feels at home. The steering is nice and light, making parking in a tight spot a breeze. If parking is a struggle though, the little Spark has another helpful toy that you would normally only expect to find on a big expensive car – parking sensors. At £150 they are not an expensive addition to the Spark, and may help it in an urban environment. We found the beep the sensors produced to be a little quiet, but they could be a useful aid for popping into tight spots. Amazingly Chevrolet says there will even be the option of a satellite navigation system from the middle of next year, something that is almost unheard of on cars in this price bracket. The system is expected to cost well below £1,000 so should be in taking with the frugal nature of the Spark. This prudent nature is seen in the engine range as well. At the moment there are only two engines on offer, a 67bhp 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre with 80bhp. Neither of the two is quick, but the 1.2-litre is marginally more urgent. It is infinitely more capable at lower speeds
in a city environment as it is much more comfortable diving for tight spots than performing sweeping overtaking manoeuvres on the open road. In fact it struggles to overtake everything but the slowest of vehicles and requires a fair bit of revving to do so. The 1.2-litre is more comfortable out of town, but in an urban environment there is little to chose, so if you are choosing the Spark as a second car or an occasional runabout then the cheaper 1.0-litre might be the better option. Both of them are frugal though, with both qualifying for a £35 a year tax disc and managing fuel consumption figures of 59mpg and 55mpg for the 1.0 and 1.2 respectively. Despite its small outer dimensions, there is a surprising amount of room inside the Spark, especially in the back. Two six-foot tall blokes were able to get into the back seats and have enough legroom without demanding the driver move from their normal driving position. The boot is adequate in size without being huge, and it allows you to drop down the rear seats individually for a bit more flexibility.
bases come up and away from the body of the car, and are attached by spindly arms that we found quite flimsy. Granted the Spark is unlikely to be a load carrying tool, but the nature of the seat folding meant this is something that should only be used on an occasional basis. There is no pretending that the Spark is anything but a cheap little car. The interior plastics reflect this in their basic and slightly flimsy nature, and the engines are much more about getting the car about than wild performance. But as a cheap car, we like the Spark a lot. It is fantastically well-equipped, and will be even more so when the option of sat nav comes later next year. Best of all, it is good looking, which means that the cheap option doesn’t always mean driving around in a dull, uninspiring, box on wheels.
The rear-seat folding mechanism was another area where evidence of the cost cutting could be found. The seat
Chevrolet Spark Price Range - £6,945 - £9,845 On Sale - March 2010 We Like - A cheap City car that is good looking rather than just functional. We Dislike - Some of the materials are not the highest of quality Overall - A good little runabout for anyone wanting a second car, or to stay in the City to use daily

UNIVERSITY OF KENT CHOOSE THE DARWIN SUITE FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT! Businesses, meeting and event organisers across the South East can now take advantage of the newly-refurbished Darwin Suite, one of the most flexible meeting and function suites in the region. With its moveable sound-proofed walls, the suite is available as one large meeting area (400 sq metres) for up to 300 delegates or as three smaller suites for up to 100 delegates. Situated on the University of Kent’s stunning Canterbury campus, the Darwin Suite is now available all year round. It is already proving a popular venue for dinner/dances for up to 200 guests. The extensive free parking on the site, only minutes from the city centre, is a great advantage, particularly for large events. Fully-inclusive day delegate rates start from only £41.50 per person and the University can offer a wide range of menus to suit all budgets. As you would expect from a leading University, first-class audio visual equipment is included in the price as well as technical support for each event . Kent Hospitality has also newly introduced for 2009 a web-based event management service to save event organisers valuable time – for example the system can handle everything from on-line delegate registration and payments to identity card design and production. In addition to the Darwin Suite, a further 200 conference and seminar rooms are available during the Easter and summer vacation periods, 14 April-8 May; 20 June-18 September 2009 as well as accommodation for up to 3,250 people. The University of Kent was awarded Group Travel’s ‘Best University Accommodation for Groups’ in 2008. To book the Darwin Suite or for any further information please contact : Jan Elliott, Events Co-ordinator Tel: 01227 828000 E: hospitality-enquiry@kent.ac.uk www.kent.ac.uk/hospitality/

THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NEW YEAR RESOLUTION IS NOW! If your Christmas celebrations (as delicious as they were!) have left you with a few extra pounds, you’re not alone. If you’re resolving to lose weight this new year – and would like that resolution to last a lifetime – then there’s a warm and friendly Slimming World group just waiting to welcome you. At Slimming World, we’ve been helping members successfully lose weight and keep that weight off, for over 40 years. And if you love food, love time with friends and family and would love to be slimmer, fitter and healthier, we can help you too. As a member of Slimming World you will discover a fabulously healthy no-hunger eating plan that we call Food Optimising that you and your family will love. You will discover a group of people – new friends – who will encourage and inspire you and keep you motivated each week.
Food Optimising fits so well into your life, especially the new Extra Easy plan. There are thousands of tasty Free Foods to choose from so you eat better than ever – and never go hungry! Just take a look at a typical Extra Easy menu for success! Breakfast – Full English – grilled bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms with poached eggs and baked beans. Lunch – Jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn filling mixed with yogurt, and a big green salad on the side. Then a banana, with toffee flavour Mullerlight yogurt – a fab version of banoffee pudding! Mid afternoon snack – an apple and a bag of low fat crisps or a two-finger KitKat. Dinner – Homemade burger in a wholemeal bun with lettuce and tomatoes, and Slimming World chips. You get the recipe in group, and it’s magic! Then feet up and a gin and diet tonic – heaven! Standard membership fees are £10.00 to join and £4.95 per week thereafter per group session. However, you can join with free membership (worth £10.00) when you buy a 12-week Countdown course between 4th January and 30th January 2010. Make your New Year’s resolution to lose weight easily with Slimming World – the healthy and happy way.
