MOVE MORE IN 2020 Being active and moving more can improve your mental health and overall wellbeing, as well as reducing your risk of many health conditions.

You can meet new people and enjoy life more. Becoming more active doesn’t mean spending a lot of money or taking up any kind of exercise that you don’t enjoy.

Whenever you move in any way (even doing the housework or gardening) this counts as being active.

Reduce sitting or lying down time Reducing long periods of sitting or lying down is a great way to increase your activity levels. Remember all movement matters. Here are a few ideas to make those day to day activities more active: • • • • •

Stand or march on the spot or go to make a cuppa during the TV adverts After every chapter of reading a book make a conscious effort to stretch your legs and go for a walk Stand up at work Set time limits on sitting or lying down If getting up and about is difficult, march or move your arms in a circular motion whilst sat down

Increase movement in leisure activities This can be a fun and simple way of increasing activity levels. Here are a few examples: gardening, using the car or bus less; walk or cycle instead, taking the stairs instead of the lift, home decoration or repairs, going bowling, or taking a walk on the beach.

A first step with exercise you enjoy Moderate exercise is recommended to be best for improving our health. Guidelines suggest you work towards 150 minutes per week (which can be in short sessions). This will make you breathe faster and your heart rate increase.

One way to tell if you’re exercising at a moderate intensity level is if you can still talk, but not sing during the activity.

You should include both a warm up and cool down into your routine. It is important to include both aerobic exercise (which work our heart and lungs) and strength exercise (which strengths and builds muscles and bone strength). Some examples are: Aerobic: brisk walking, riding a bike, dancing, doubles tennis, pushing a lawn mower Strength: water aerobics, carrying heavy shopping bags, yoga / pilates, lifting weights / doing exercises such as sit-ups and pressups, heavy gardening Most importantly, get moving more!

Whether standing during TV adverts, walking on the beach or bowling with friends.

ALL movement matters and we all have different starting points!

Diabetes... how much do you really know?

Lincolnshire’s east coast is one of the UK’s hotspots for people diagnosed with diabetes.

Where to get support

Nearly 3,500 people living in the Skegness area have diabetes.

That’s more than one in every ten people!

They will be able to help you to manage your diabetes or give you advice on how to prevent getting Type 2 diabetes.

Speak to your GP practice

Diabetes is a medical condition that requires a lifetime of care and treatment to help control your body’s blood sugar levels. If it is not controlled properly, diabetes can lead to serious health problems affecting your eyes, heart and nerves. It can even kill you! This year alone over 50 people in Lincolnshire have had part of their arm or leg removed because of diabetes.

There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Both occur when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone which controls your bodys blood sugar levels).

Type 2 diabetes is more common and is often linked to being overweight or inactive. You are more likely to be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes if you are are over 40, have a close relative with diabetes, or are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin.

The good news is that 90% of Type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented by making simple lifestyle changes.

Remember to book in for your annual diabetes health check!

The “Healthier You” National Diabetes Prevention Programme An education programme where you will receive tailored support to help you to make positive changes. Once you have your blood results from within the last 12 months you can refer yourself or ask your GP practice to make a referral for you. www.preventing-diabetes.co.uk Diabetes UK Information and tips for managing your diabetes and preventing the development of Type 2 diabetes. www.diabetes.org.uk One You Lincolnshire

Drink more water: Aim for 6-8 glasses per day. Remember many drinks (including energy drinks) contain high levels of sugar.

Read food labels: This can help with healthier choices. Aim for foods with 5g total sugars or less per 100g. Avoid foods with more than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g.

Reduce your portion size: Use a smaller plate. Your eyes still see a full plate but you will be eating less.

Move more: See the Fitness page for more information about ways in which you can keep active.

A healthy lifestyle service to help you to stop smoking, lose weight, move more, and drink less. www.oneyoulincolnshire.org.uk You can also find out more about your risk factors using the ‘Know your Risk’ tool. www.diabetes.org.uk/risk

The best beaches 0 2 to visit in Italy 0 2 s y this summer Holida H

ave you been to Capri and fallen in love with its shores? Well, so have we but it’s only the beginning. Italy has 4,723 miles of coastline, dotted with some of the most beautiful beaches and seaside towns in the entire world.

Think white sand, limestone cliffs and the bluest, clearest waters imaginable. It’s hard to pick exactly which beaches are the most beautiful, but we’ve narrowed it down to this list.

From Sicily to Sardinia, and everywhere in between, here are ten of italy’s best beaches.

Cala Goloritzé, Sardinia Cala Goloritzé is one of Italy’s most famous beaches, located at the base of a ravine on Sardinia’s picturesque northeastern coast. It’s tiny, but no less beautiful with its limestone cliffs, soft ivory sand, and striking, blue-green ocean. In fact, it’s so special that it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

Cala Di Volpe, Sardinia

14

Scala dei Turchi, Sicily

The beach at the base of Scala dei Turchi, a rocky cliff on the coast near Realmonte, is striking in its uniqueness.

Its fiery bronze sands are a stunning contrast to the azure ocean in front and the pale gray cliffs behind. The area is famous for being one of Sicily’s most beautiful natural wonders.

Atrani, Campania The tiny, picturesque village of Atrani - located along the Amalfi Coast - is reminiscent of Italy’s most famous coastal towns, only much less crowded. Aside from its colourful cliffside perch, beautiful churches, and charming piazzas, the town has an idyllic beach flush against the Tyrrhenian Sea. Trust us: The views of the water bookended by two cliffs is hard to beat.

Chiaia di Luna, Ponza Chiaia di Luna is quite easily one of the most scenic spots in all of Italy.

The beach is a narrow crescent of silky sand at the base of a towering, 328foot volcanic rock wall curved in a halfmoon shape - hence its “luna” name.

It’s located on Ponza, the largest island in the Pontine Archipelago, which is dense with spectacular beaches.

Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle, Marche This super-secluded beach on the spectacular Riviera del Conero is accessible only by shuttle or boat from Porto Numana. The shore is made up of fine, white pebbles, which lead into the striking, emerald green Adriatic.

The best views are from the ocean, where you can admire the steep white cliffs of Monte Conero towering over the beach before you.

Spiaggia dei Conigli, Lampedusa The “Beach of the Rabbits” on the island of Lampedusa’s south side doesn’t just have an adorable name - it’s also one of the most dazzling stretches of sand in all of Europe.

The aquamarine water is perfect for snorkelling, while the blindingly white sand is just ideal for sun worshippers.

Cala di Volpe, Sardinia

Scala dei Turchi, Sicily

Cala di Volpe is located on Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, one of the most beautiful (and expensive) stretches of coastline in all of Italy. The beach is famous for its Bermuda-blue water and the glamorous Hotel Cala di Volpe resort behind it, though you don’t need to be a guest to swim there.

Baia delle Zagare, Puglia Accessible by land through its namesake hotel or via boat from Mattinata, Baia delle Zagare is as secluded and exclusive as they come.

Sheltered by steep limestone cliffs, the half-mile beach allows just 30 visitors a day outside of hotel guests, keeping its shoreline pristine and perpetually uncrowded.

Chiaia di Luna, Ponza

Cala Tonnarella, Sicily It’s a trek to get to Cala Tonnarella, a hidden cove in the Zingaro Nature Reserve on the Gulf of Castellammare.

The beach is inaccessible by road, so you’ll have to hike about an hour to get there from the reserve’s southern car park. It’s worth the effort: Upon arrival, you’ll be met with a secluded and uncrowded paradise.

Spiaggia di Sansone, Elba Tuscany’s Elba Island is home to many contenders for this list, but Sansone edges out the competition. Its pristine shore - a mixture of sand and smooth white pebbles - leads you to calm, transparent water. It’s shallow, too, making it popular among families and snorkellers.

Building a vegetable garden Are you trying to eat a little healthier this year? Or are you planning to live a more selfsufficient, environmentally friendly lifestyle? Was ‘getting outdoors’ your New Year’s resolution?

June Indoors: Plant radicchio and harvest pak choi.

Outdoors: Plant Swiss chard and harvest chicory, courgettes, mangetout, peas, spring onions, golden berries.

Gardens

Planting a vegetable garden could tick all of those feel-good boxes, and what could be better than eating good quality, fresh food that you’ve grown yourself? We’ve put together this handy annual planting guide, showing you what to sow, when to sow it and where…

January

Vegetable plot design

February

If you want to plant your vegetables outside, then take some time to plan out your plot. Pick a sunny area with soft, rich soil and try to avoid parts of your garden that have poor drainage.

Indoors: Plant peppers & watercress.

Outdoors: Plant broad beans, Brussels sprouts, summer cabbage, cauliflower, chicory, leeks, parsnips, radishes and shallots.

Adding compost to the soil will give your plants all the nutrients they need.

Divide your patch into sections with paths running in between so you can easily tend to your plants from all angles and you won’t overcrowd the soil. If your topsoil is thin, you may want to build some raised beds which add extra depth for your plants to take root in.

March

Propagating vegetables When your patch is ready to go, then you can start sowing. Please note, these planting times are only a guide, and will vary depending on your region, the type of seeds you choose and the weather…

Indoors: Plant aubergines, celeriac, celery and strawberries.

Outdoors: Plant rhubarb, golden berries.

Indoors: Plant lambs lettuce, cucumbers, pak choi and heritage tomatoes.

Fitness Your 12-month guide to complete health

W

e’ve got a year of challenges and a calendar to challenge you, and they’re all for a great cause: you and your health. Daily commitments can turn into a new lifestyle with kilograms dropped, and those new habits turn into a new you…and a new body.

January Water and Wine Month. With Silly Season ending, why not start 2020 with the right amount of liquids. Fizzy or energy drinks and juices are out.

Water, water, and water is in. Drink two litres of water every day, and enjoy two healthy wines on Saturday night.

February 50 Push Ups Month. Push Ups are a classic, underutilised exercise that build chest, core, shoulders, and triceps strength. There are 28 days in February – that equals 1400 push ups that month – great effort.

March Three Habits Month. Do you smoke?

Drink too much diet soft drinks? Waste too much time on social media? What habits are affecting your health and time to exercise? Change one bad habit every 10 days and by month’s end, you’ve got a new life.

April

August

50 Sit Ups Month. Like push ups, sit ups are classics that still work for tight, toned abdominal muscles. You might like crunches, bicycle kicks, or whatever … work your abs in April.

Leftovers Month. The suit and tie crew always struggles at food courts … unhealthy choices with big portions, paired with fizzy drinks. The best cure to food coma lunches is BYO from a healthy dinner. Leftovers guarantee portion control, a healthy meal, and saving pounds every single day.

Utilising leftovers are a healthy dream.

May Meditation and Positivity Month.

Some go to yoga, others do beach walks, and some do pure meditation. Every day, find some way to meditate for stress reduction, mood improvement, and increased productivity. Add a positive quote to your reading list each day that will set the mood for your morning.

June Seven Hours of Sleep per Night Month. Rest is just as important as water, fresh food, and exercise. Aim to get seven-to-eight hours of sleep every night - your heart, mind, weight and muscles will thank you for it.

July 10,000 Steps / 1000 Jumps Month.

The Japanese invented the ‘10,000 steps’ theory and it’s a pretty good gauge for meeting daily movement needs.

If you can’t walk, you can jump.

Skipping rope is a high intensity movement that burns serious calories.

September Burp & Pull Month. If some of the above might be a bit soft, so the last month will challenge all fitness levels.

Every day, bang out 50 burpees and 50 pull ups … Break it up if need be, but these two full-body, bodyweight movements are as tough as they come.

A September with 1500 burpees and 1500 pull ups? You’ll be fighting fit.

October 20 minutes of Outdoor Running Month. Clocks are changing. which means more daylight arrives this weekend, lending more time to be outdoors… so, run. Run because we were born to run... and run because of the cardio, calorie burning, and leg strengthening benefits.

November Fryin’ Equals Dying Month. Spend a month with nothing fried or processed.

That means no fast food and zero junk at the supermarket. It’s time to load up on the fruit, veggies, and healthy protein. Cut out the chemicals and sugar laden foods, and watch your weight fall, skin glow, and energy increase.

December 100 Squats and Two Minute Planks Month. Get moving with two superb exercises. Squats (100 per day) build strength and tone in practically every muscle from the waist down; they’re a must do in any exercise routine, like planks. Planks (two minutes per day) build inner core strength - a requirement for everybody and every body.

WIN

magazine

Win a pair of tickets to see

Don Airey (Deep Purple) and Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy) with support from Rebecca Downes

at Hull - Welly on Sunday February 23, 2020 In these days where everybody seems to want to show off at every given occasion, Don Airey has more reason than most to be proud of his CV. It is hard to find a legendary rock name from the last 30 years that has not utilised Don’s keyboard skills at some point - amongst them Ozzy Osbourne, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Gary Moore, Brian May, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath and, obviously, Deep Purple, the band of which Don Airey has been a full time member for over fifteen years.

But... Don Airey has never been a

session player. Bands and artists work with him for his unique musical vision and for the twist he gives to their songs. It is with the same passion, energy and talent that Don Airey approaches his very own songwriting.

It is not difficult to see Don Airey playing one day with Deep Purple in front of 15.000 people, and the next day playing the organ in the church of his beloved local village with the same concentration and respect for the music and the audience.

Brian Downey on drums needs no introduction......

Hailing originally from Dublin, Brian

enjoyed his first taste of success in Ireland with the top 20 hit ‘Morning Dew’ before forming Orphanage with Phil Lynott. The two went on to form the legendary Thin Lizzy with Eric Bell, and Brian remained a constant member until the band split in 1983.

Brian also worked on Phil Lynott’s solo albums and his subsequent Grand Slam project.

Brian remained in constant demand as both a touring and session drummer and is often cited as being an influence by many of the world’s top drummers. He feels invigorated to be playing the songs he co-wrote in Thin Lizzy with his new band Alive and Dangerous.

To be in with a chance of winning the tickets, just answer the following question: “How long has Don Airey been a full-time member of Deep Purple?”

Send your answer, along with your contact details, to: insideskegness@yahoo.com - Closing date January 23, 2020.

Pets

Obedience training for dogs

Part One To communicate clearly and consistently with your dog, you need to understand how she learns. Dogs learn through the immediate consequences of their behaviour. The nature of those consequences determines how they’ll behave in the future.

Dogs, like other animals (people included), work to get good things and avoid bad things in life.

dog’s leash and jerk her to the ground every time she jumps up to greet people, and you’d most likely get the same effect in the end-no more jumping up. But consider the possible fallout:

If you don’t like the behaviour, take the rewards away

If a behaviour results in something rewarding - like food, a good belly rub, playtime with dog buddies or a game of fetch with her pet parent - your dog will continue with that behaviour.

On the other hand, if a behaviour results in an unpleasant consequence - like being ignored or losing things she finds rewarding - she’ll behave like that more often.

The most important part of training your dog is teaching her that it pays to do things you like. But your dog also needs to learn that it doesn’t pay to do things you don’t like. Fortunately, discouraging unwanted behaviour doesn’t have to involve pain or intimidation. You just need to make sure that behavior you dislike doesn’t get rewarded. Most of the time, dog motivations aren’t mysterious. They simply do what works! Dogs jump up on people, for example, because people pay attention to them as a result. They can learn not to jump up if we ignore

If you like the behaviour, reward it Some training methods use punishment, like leash corrections and scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you want them to do. Other methods cut right to the chase and focus on teaching dogs what you do want them to do.

While both tactics can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it’s also much more enjoyable for you and your dog.

For example, you can easily use treats, games and praise to teach your dog to sit when people approach during walks in the neighbourhood. If your dog is sitting, she won’t be dragging you toward the people, jumping up and so on. That’s pretty efficient training - no pain or intimidation needed.

Alternatively, you could grab your

manners without hurting or frightening her, why not do it? Rather than punishing her for all the things you don’t want her to do, concentrate on teaching your dog what you do want her to do. When your dog does something you like, convince her to do it again by rewarding her with something she loves. You’ll get the job done without damaging the relationship between you and your best friend.

t

Your dog might decide that people are scary since she gets hurt whenever she tries to greet them and she might try to drive them away by growling or barking the next time they approach.

l

them when they jump up instead. As soon as she sits, you can give her the attention she craves. If you stick to this plan, your dog will learn two things at once:

l

Doing something you like (sitting) reliably works to earn what she wants (attention), and doing things you don’t like ( jumping up) always results in the loss of what she wants.

If you can teach your dog polite

Part two will appear in the next issue.

Your dog might decide that YOU are scary since you hurt her whenever she tries to greet people.

Factory work: The Main Cause of Noise Induced Hearing Loss

By Sam Sleight

Did you know that 8 out of 10 people in the Manufacturing Industry alone have Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)? Working conditions and environments which consist of noisy machinery, such as Manufacturing, Carpentry, Joinery and Building, can often cause serious health issues to arise in workers.

The recommended noise limit should not exceed 85 decibels (dB). Working with machinery such as CNC Routers, Spindle Moulding Machines and Thicknessers can create noise levels of up to 105dB. This significant level of noise can cause serious damage in just 1 hour of exposure.

Whilst at first, the noise may not appear to be a problem, as time progresses, it is likely that your hearing will gradually deteriorate. In cases of NIHL, the affects may take many years to become apparent, therefore, those suffering may not be aware that their hearing has been damaged for some time after exposure occurred.

Workers who develop NIHL have usually not been given the correct protective equipment or health and safety training from their employers to help prevent the illness from developing. NIHL is very preventable, however, once hearing is lost, it cannot be restored without the help of equipment such as hearing aids. Health and safety should be taken seriously by employers as they have a professional duty to protect their employees from harm.

Regulations state that employers are required to provide employees with protective equipment and the appropriate training for working environments where the noise levels exceed 85dB. In such cases your employer is also required to monitor for hearing damage.

If your employer did not take the appropriate steps to protect your hearing by failing to put basic health and safety training in place, failing to provide the correct protective equipment, or failing to provide sufficient training on how to use such equipment, you may have a claim for NIHL. If your employer no longer exists, your Solicitor can still pursue your compensation claim via the insurance company that insured your employer at that time.

If you are unsure whether your hearing loss was caused through work, we recommend that you contact our Solicitors for a free assessment. Due to strict time limits we urge that you contact our Solicitors as soon as you discover that your hearing loss may be the result of your employment. Our Team of Industrial Disease Specialists will assist you with your claim on a no win no fee basis and help you to obtain compensation to aid your pain, suffering and financial losses. To get in touch call Hodgkinsons Solicitors on 01754 897150.

NIHL is one of the most common work-related illnesses, with over 23,000 workers in the UK suffering from this condition. When someone develops NIHL they may experience difficulties in sound related activities such as having conversations. The condition can also cause ringing in the ears, which is a further medical condition known as Tinnitus. It is not uncommon for such health issues to affect everyday life and the ability to work, which brings financial consequences.

Skegness Business Awards Winners 2019

Congratulations!

The stars of the Skegness Business Community celebrated their best at the Skegness Business Awards 2019 at the Southview Hotel on Friday 29th November. The awards ceremony was the conclusion of a rigorous judging process at which each business had been visited and challenged on their claims in their entries. In addition the winner of the public web vote for the Visitor Attraction of the Year was revealed.

The event is promoted by the Skegness Business Area Chamber to encourage and reward business effort and success. They have designed the categories to reflect the wide range of business activities and make the town successful as a whole.

The event was hosted by BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s Melvyn Prior and featured 3 course dinner followed by the presentation of the awards.

During the course of the evening £580 was raised for the RNLI and this was boosted to £1740 by the generous donations of Natureland Seal Sanctuary and Micronclean.

The RNLI representative Mairi Perry “I am overcome by the generosity of

Skegness businesses. This has been a fantastic evening and I am delighted that we have been invited as honoured guests and to receive such a sum is overwhelming” County Linx radio conducted interviews with some of the finalists at the start of the event and took a video and photographs of the proceedings.

Andrew Ayres for County Linx radio said “ It has been a fabulous evening.

The presentation gave details of the finalists businesses and you cannot fail to be impressed by the range and quality of the businesses” At the end of the evening Paul Dixon Chair of the Skegness Business Area Chamber announced that Micronclean was the Skegness Business of the Year.

Striking and sophisticated: The new Ford Kuga F ord has released UKspecific pricing and trim level details for the new, third-generation Kuga SUV. It’s priced from £23,995, with priority deliveries of the highspec First Edition models early next year.

The base price gets you in a Zetec model powered by a 118bhp 1.5-litre Ecoboost turbo petrol engine. The other trims are Titanium (from £27,245), ST-Line (from £29,345), ST-Line X (from £30,645) and Vignale (from £31,945).

All Kugas come as standard with the Ford Pass Connect embedded modem, wireless smartphone charging and “advanced driver assistance and safety features”. First Edition variants of Titanium and ST-Line models bring a Bang & Olufsen sound system and the Driver’s Assistance Pack.

customers. Ford has beaten many of its rivals to market with its plug-in hybrid option, which mates a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an electric motor and 10.3kWh battery to deliver 222bhp. The model can travel up to 34 miles on electricity alone, giving it an official economy figure of 201mpg on the WLTP cycle in PHEV operating mode (or 43.5mpg WLTP with no charge in the battery). Official CO2 emissions are just 29g/km.

Buyers will also able to choose a regular hybrid set-up, akin to that of the Toyota Prius, linking the 2.5-litre petrol engine to an electric motor and smaller battery to deliver 50.4mpg and 130g/km. A 48-volt mild hybrid setup is mated to a 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine to offer 56.5mpg and 132g/km.

Conventional 1.5-litre petrol and 2.0-litre diesel variants are also available, mated to

more contoured lines of the latest Fiesta and Focus. The interior also follows those cars, delivering an uncluttered, sweeping look despite the raft of technological functions that are offered - the majority of which are controlled through the central touchscreen.

Further engine options include a 148bhp 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre diesels, the latter of which is also available in 187bhp form or 148bhp form with mild hybrid tech.

A new plug-in hybrid option is also available from £33,095 in Titanium trim - the same price as the higherpowered 2.0-litre diesel.

The Kuga has been redesigned from the ground up in a bid to attract more buyers in the still-booming family SUV sector, and the new model will be offered with petrol, diesel, mild hybrid, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

As Ford ramps up its European business restructuring, SUVs will play a crucial role. “One in three sales across Europe are SUVs, and for us it’s one in five. We want to change that,” Jorg Beyer, managing director of product development, told Autocar.

The hybrid line-up in particular is expected to be key to attracting new

either a six-speed manual or eightspeed automatic gearbox. Front and four-wheel drive are both available.

Also striking is the new, more sophisticated and less boxy look of the third-generation Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson rival. The styling moves Ford’s design language another step on from the

The Kuga sits on the same C2 platform as the new Focus, being longer, wider and having a larger wheelbase - and therefore improved stability and dynamics - than the car it replaces. The platform is also said to be 10% torsionally stiffer than the outgoing car’s, as well as supporting

Despite sporting a dramatic, sloping roofline and an overall height that is lower by 20mm than that of the outgoing car, the new Kuga also offers 13mm more head room in the front and 35mm in the rear, thanks to clever interior packaging.

New technology for the Kuga includes Ford Pass Connect, which can provide wi-fi connectivity for up to 10 devices, a head-up display, wireless charging for a phone, a system that automatically brakes the car if it drives forwards or backwards into crossing traffic and a self-parking system that can parallel park or drive into a space perpendicular to the car at the push of a button. A hands-free boot-opening system, which is operated by waving your foot under the rear bumper, is also available.

A radar and camera-guided system that detects slower-moving and stationary vehicles, and which will automatically steer around them to avoid a collision if necessary, is also available.

the basis for a more aerodynamic design and allowing weight savings of up to 90kg over today’s model.

In particular, the new Kuga is said to deliver more interior room than before, including what Ford says is classleading space for rear-seat passengers thnks to an 89mm length increase.

In the front, occupants get 43mm more shoulder room and 57mm more hip room than in the current model, while in the rear there is a 20mm increase in shoulder room and 36mm more hip room, while the seats, split 70:30, slide fore and aft as standard.

This increased rear accommodation has been achieved in part by setting the dashboard closer to the engine bay bulkhead and positioned more upright, allowing front seat passengers to be seated farther forward.

Also available are lane-keeping assistance, wide-angle cameras to aid front and rear visibility and Wrong Way Alert, which combines camera-based sensors and satnav technology to warn if the car is being driven the wrong way down a road.

To sum up: The ‘quirky’ Kuga of old is dead and buried. Although highly rated ,it proved popular on too few continents and catered for too narrow a spread of tastes.

Its replacement has in effect moved up a class... or two!!

Horoscopes 2020 Aries

(March 21 - April 19)

For Arians, 2020 is a balancing act of a year, astrologically speaking, as you will often find yourself caught up in dilemmas between career and personal life. The previous period has made you wiser and more mature, so those decisions should come more naturally, although not without some effort.

Taurus

(April 20 - May 20)

Gemini

(May 21 - June 20)

Cancer

(June 21 - July 22)

You are in a phase of building the foundations in matters that are important to you and the stars are giving you a little bit more time to do just that. As you’ve changed, your needs and wants might have changed too and now is the time to finds ways to fulfill them.

Love planet Venus will be spending one third of the year in your sign –this doesn’t happen often! Get ready to welcome her gifts, because love will be fun, spontaneous and exciting this year! Career and money will be on your mind, but it is all under control. 2020 will keep you on your toes and you will enjoy it a lot!

2020’s yearly horoscope for Cancerians predicts one of the best years of your life, believe it or not! There are so many planets in the sector of your chart that rules relationships, that it will be impossible for you not to get numerous opportunities for a caring, lasting romantic bond.

Leo

(July 23 - August 22)

Throughout the year you are ambitious, confident and in touch with yourself. That can’t go unnoticed but it will also bring upon you important changes. Whatever doesn’t fit into your new life will make room for something new, something better. Embrace change - 2020 marks the beginning of a new life stage!

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22)

This year you will see a new version of yourself take charge. As long as you accept the things you cannot control and loosen up a bit, there’s a lot to gain this year - both in relationships as well as in financial matters. There’s a lot to gain this year, both in relationships as well as in financial matters.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

You love the calm, the balanced and the beautiful and this year you are about to enjoy all of that.

Relationship challenges are unlikely, but you do tend to stir up some drama from time to time, just to keep things interesting. You’ll definitely remember 2020 with a smile a few years down the road!

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)

2020 is going to be a rather intense year for Scorpio as your horoscope predicts. Passions run high throughout the year and wherever there is passion, you cannot go missing! You will need all the discipline you have to avoid temptations and the urge to rebel against what you feel confines you.

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

Yours is one of the signs that had a pretty rough last couple of years. The tables kept turning and the luck that is usually on your side seemed to abandon you at the most crucial times. Your ruling planet Jupiter moves onwards to Capricorn, so the intensity will subside a bit.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)

There’s so much planetary activity in your sign, that the coming of lucky Jupiter will only magnify everything anew! Everything gets bigger: love, romance, career opportunities, money. Use your resources wisely, because you might exhaust yourself on the way, particularly around the Eclipses.

Aquarius

(January 20 - February 18)

You are a bit prone to leaving things unfinished, but this will not be the case this year. Now is the time to take the plunge and dive in head first, to whatever project (or relationship) you have your mind set on. The people around you will welcome your conviction to make things work, as long as you communicate clearly.

Pisces

(February 19 - March 20)

You are not one to fear change - usually - and you don’t settle for the mundane. Well now is the time to try new things, talk to strangers, apply for your dream job, think BIG! As exciting as all that sounds, don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. Keep a cool head and enjoy the ride
