pets Timmy asks ‘Will you give me my forever home?

Dogs Trust Celebrates the Launch of Their New Nottingham Dog School

Timmy is hoping readers can help him find a home. Rescued by Animal Accident Rescue Unit, he has been waiting a while – could that home be with you? Here he explains: ‘Hello, I’m about 3-4 years old, and a lazy and lovable boy! I enjoy playing a bit but then I want to relax. I’m friendly, enjoy fuss and adore my food. My fosterers are trying to get me used to grooming …. I’m unsure about this brush thingy but it’s nice around my head. So if you’d like a laid back cat who’s fully house trained, well behaved and exceptionally cute, I could be your perfect match!’ Timmy was FIV/FeLV-tested and is negative; he is neutered, flea and worm treated, microchipped and vaccinated; his new owner is responsible for further vaccinations. For details, contact the Adoption Officer at admin@aaru. org.uk, who will reply as soon as possible. All adoptions need a successful homecheck. The charity does not rehome cats on or near busy roads unless indoor-only, and recommends keeping them indoors at night, and for 6-8 weeks to bond with the new owner/home. To raise funds for cats like Timmy, the charity’s next monthly fair is 2-4pm, Saturday 19 August at Lowdham Village Hall, Main Street, Lowdham NG14 7BD. The charity does not cover healthy strays/ unwanted pets, but helps neglected, injured and vulnerable animals and birds. Anyone finding an animal needing emergency transport to a vet should leave a detailed message on 0115 932 1555. For all animals needing homes, see www.animalaccident.org.uk.

Dogs Trust, the leading UK dog welfare charity, has launched a new dog school offering training classes and individual lessons to Nottinghamshire pet parents. The new school is part of a significant expansion program following a successful year for 13 pilot schools across the UK. The Nottingham team, led by Head Coach Chelsea Martin, aim to offer a fun, stimulating and informative environment for dogs to learn household manners, whilst working to identify and prevent unwanted behaviours. Of the launch, Head Coach Chelsea Martin said, “I’m extremely excited about the opportunity we have to make a real difference to the lives of dogs and pet owners. By preventing problem behaviours in the dogs we see and training for the real-world we’re hopefully able to keep more dogs with their families.” Initially, classes will be offered in Sneinton, Lenton and Thurgarton with plans to add an additional two venues in or around the city. Every class consists of five 50-minute sessions, taught on five consecutive weeks. To ensure education is affordable to all, courses are priced at £50 each with a £10 discount for rescue dogs. By offering a variety of puppy, adult and rescue dog training classes, Dogs Trust hope to prevent problem behaviours and reduce the number of dogs given up for rehoming. To achieve this, the Nottinghamshire Dog School team will: • Utilise science-based, positive reinforcement training methods in all classes • Offer affordable seminars, workshops and other events to local dog owners • Provide CPD accredited events to veterinary staff in the area

olcino has brought Gelato joy Nottingham.

Based at Beastmarket Hill, the two-floor establishment serves authentic, artisan gelato, freshly made in store. Gelato being seriously flavoursome Italian Ice Cream. It is being run by gelato experts Francesco Arcadio, and his wife Kirsten, assisted by son Sebastian. The Arcadio family has an impressive history of making gelato and operating café bars dating back to 1950s in Italy. The Nottingham venture is hot on the heels of their first highly successful UK business in Loughborough. Diners can expect traditional flavours such as Cassata Siciliana (a traditional sweet from all areas of Sicily) and Pinolata (a lemon and chocolate Sicilian pastry). But Dolcino has also produced exciting new gelato flavours, including Twist on a Twix, Chilli Chocolate and Salted Caramel, and Hazelnut and Avocado. Customers who want to experiment with their own gelato mix, can ask the Dolcino experts to blend their choice of flavours to create something bespoke and brand new. There is a viewing window on the first floor where customers can see gelato freshly made every day. Dolcino has brought the Freakcone to Nottingham. Mouth-tinkling flavours, such as Black Forest Gateau, Toffee Popcorn, Mars Bar Magic, or any other combination the customer asks for – are served oozing over a gelato cone. There is also a premium selection of crepes, waffles and focaccia olive-oil bread sandwiches, all hand-made in store. Locally sourced ingredients are used where possible and own blends of coffee roasted on site.

We chose waffles and crepes. Lovely big portions, juicy fillings and to die for gelato. We had the beautiful flavours of cherry bakewell, raspberry and caramel. Our most favourite however was pistachio. Yum! The Dolcino experience is also enhanced by an Italian retro feel, with cosy booths, funky pictures of Italy, an iconic Vespa scooter and Fiat 500 wallpiece. A lot of the establishment’s equipment, including the gelato counter, a state-ofthe-art gelato making machine and the coffee roaster, has been shipped in from Italy. The upstairs is a perfect area for meetings and events. Dolcino is open seven days a week, morning to evening. It hopes to become the perfect place for an extra treat during a night out in Nottingham. Dolcino.. where every day is a sundae!!

Summer Desserts Summer is here and hopefully the sun is out, the gardens and parks look lovely and barbecuing and al fresco eating is in full flow. Summer brings a bounty of fresh fruits, herbs and salads with which to create delicious dishes. The smell of basil evokes memories for me of eating out in Italy. If you have some in your garden, how about making an easy basil pesto? – you can freeze it in ice-cubes and use it all year round. If you have a pot of chives on your patio, snip them over a salad for a subtle onion flavour. The market stalls and supermarket shelves are groaning with berries this time of year, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries - a large bowl of berries sprinkled with caster sugar and a dollop of whipped cream makes a perfect, simple dessert. Aubergines and courgettes can be sliced, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt and grilled on the barbecue. Tomatoes, radishes, sliced cucumber and spring onions are perfect for nibbling on while the meat or fish cooks on the barbecue, and salad leaves are in abundance. Dress with a little salt and pepper, olive oil and white wine vinegar for a simple side. On long sunny days, no one wants to be standing over a hot stove making puddings but we all still enjoy our desserts. So here are a few very easy to make “no cook” desserts that will impress your family and friends, take hardly any time to prepare, and make the most of the summer

Iced Raspberry Brûlées with Basil

Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Ice Cream

Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

Ingredients (serves 4-6) 225g raspberries (or you could use chopped strawberries) 50g golden caster sugar 142ml double cream 100ml custard Handful of ﬁnely shredded basil leaves 3 tbsp icing sugar

Ingredients 4 ripe peaches or nectarines, halved and stoned Rapeseed or vegetable oil Best quality vanilla ice cream Honey and sea salt to serve

Ingredients Strawberries Cream cheese Icing sugar Vanilla extract Crushed digestive biscuits (to almost a powder)

Method Divide the raspberries between 4 heat-proof ramekins, scatter over the sugar and press down the fruit slightly. Whip the cream until it holds its shape and then fold in the custard and basil. Spoon the mixture evenly over the raspberries and smooth the tops over. Put the ramekins in the freezer for about half an hour to set. Dust each ramekin with the icing sugar and then, using a blow-torch (or a very hot grill) caramelise the sugar and leave to harden for 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Method Heat the griddle to a medium high heat. Brush the cut surface of the peaches with a little oil and place down on the griddle for a few minutes and then rotate (to get the characteristic grill marks), push down gently for a further 3 or 4 minutes until the fruit starts to caramelise. Remove from the grill and serve with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with sea salt.

Method Remove the hulls and hollow out the middle of the strawberry (you will probably need a paring knife for this). Thoroughly combine the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Fill each strawberry with the cream cheese ﬁlling (a piping bag is best) and then dip the cheesecake side of the strawberry into the digestive biscuit crumb. What could be easier!

kids Teenagers Bring Ray Of Sunshine To The Elderly The High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire has praised 30 teenagers from Rushcliffe School who give companionship to care home residents.

Students Hear Testimony From Holocaust Survivor Students at Rushcliffe School, in West Bridgford, have been hearing first-hand the moving story of holocaust survivor Simon Winston. Simon and his family escaped from a Jewish ghetto in Nazi occupied Poland during the Second World War and spent nearly two years in hiding, narrowly escaping capture on numerous occasions. After the war his family, who were then homeless, came to Nottingham and Simon, now 79, has lived in Nottinghamshire ever since. 240 Year 9 students listened in stunned silence as Simon spoke of how 2000 Jews in the ghetto (prison camp) where he lived as a child were rounded up, marched into the forest and shot dead; of how his father used one of the gold bars, which he had hidden in secret compartments in clothes, shoes and a brush, to bribe a German soldier into allowing their family to escape; and of how they spent years hiding in holes in the ground, only coming out at night to forage for food. The talk was the culmination of a year-long “Lessons from Auschwitz” project which the school has been undertaking through the Holocaust Educational Trust. Simon went on to work as teacher for 35 years but he never told anyone his story until 20 years ago when he heard about Beth Shalom, now the National Holocaust Centre and Museum.

Sixth-formers from the Boundary Road school visit residents at Leawood Manor in West Bridgford – where they spend an hour or so each week chatting to them, exchanging news and encouraging them to share their memories. Many of the residents have dementia but the young people are taught to see the person and not the disease, but also how to cope with its effects. The ‘YOPEY Befriender’ programme is run by the charity YOPEY, which stands for Young People of the Year. YOPEY runs a growing number of YOPEY Befriender schemes up and down the country of which the RushcliffeLeawood Manor scheme is one of the most popular and oldest, having started three years ago. One of YOPEY’s main aims is to change the image of young people and break down barriers between young and old. High Sheriff, Col. David Sneath, paid a special visit to the Hilton Crescent home to meet some of the Rushcliffe YOPEY Befrienders along with their elderly companions and to congratulate them on their volunteering. “It’s wonderful that this charity is bringing the generations together and encouraging us to see young people being caring in this way, because they represent our future,” he said. During the visit the befrienders and their companions had tea and cake with Col Sneath, the residents, care home staff and Tony. The high sheriff handed out awards for the number of hours they had spent on the visits. Seventeen-year-old Jack Dewick, who is the Rushcliffe YOPEY Befrienders current leader, having notched up nearly 30 hours of visits, said: “If I have spare time this is what I do with it.” He had two special friends at the care home and continued to visit after one of them died. “I was absolutely devastated when Harry died. I thought about not coming anymore but decided Brian still needs me.”

kids Nottingham Emmanuel students use virtual reality to enhance lessons

Students from The Nottingham Emmanuel School have been using virtual reality to enhance their lessons thanks to Google Expeditions and their cardboard viewer kits. Teacher Bryony Watson said that students were able to explore the oceans and outer space amongst other topics using the viewers, and that its immersive qualities held students’ attention and increased their interest in the subjects explored. She said, “The students were able to ‘visit’ a place that they would never usually get the opportunity to see and were able to explore historical buildings, famous landmarks and natural disaster sites. They even looked at the inside of the human digestive system! This has given a wider context to their learning and made the topics more memorable.” Student Daniel Morledge said that he thinks the use of virtual reality in classrooms will become more popular. “I loved looking at the sharks because it was like actually being there!” Bryony Watson says that the Google Expeditions covers many subjects and would be a great way to add value to lessons, “The students really enjoyed the experience. Some students were lucky enough to use it in 2 lessons on the same day with very different learning outcomes. We look forward to using the technology again in school and creating opportunities for more students and areas of the curriculum to benefit from this opportunity.”

TRENT ACADEMIES EXPLORE UNI LANGUAGE OPTIONS AT 14

Three Nottingham schools have been trialling a new way of getting pupils as young as 14 and 15 hooked on studying languages through to A Level and University. Rushcliffe School, The Farnborough Academy and Arnold Hill Academy – which together make up The Trent Academies Group – have paired up with the University of Nottingham to give Year 10 students a flavour of what studying languages to degree level can offer them. The three academies took 60 of their aspiring linguists, currently in their first year of GCSEs, on a visit to the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies at the university. These types of visits do not usually happen until Year 12. The students were given taster sessions in Italian and Russian, a tour of campus, and they also heard first hand from undergraduates what it’s like to study languages at university and where that can take you in the future. 22-year-old Evie Ross, who has just completed her finals in Spanish and Portuguese, spoke to the students about her languages path; about how she was a beginner in Portuguese when she started university and about her year abroad working in Barcelona and then Brazil. Pupils from the three schools were impressed with what they heard. Jacob Simpson, aged 15, from Rushcliffe School, said: “It taught me that languages can take us down many career paths, not solely language- based careers and that speaking other languages gives us an ‘edge’ in the employment world. I will definitely be considering it in the future.”

WIN A GREAT FAMILY DAY OUT AT SWADLINCOTE SKI & SNOWBOARDING CENTRE

he winner will get a private ski lesson, 30 mins tubing, 5 viper slides, 4 toboggan rides & a hot meal in the Alpine Lodge for a family of 5!!

They also have the viper slide to ride down in an inflatable ring, which consists of a 70m slope full with twists and turns.

Swadlincote Ski & Snowboard Centre, in the heart of the National Forest, bustles with activity and has so much to offer. For the budding skier or snowboarder they offer lessons on a nursery slope, and for those with a little bit more experience they have the main ski run of over 160 metres. You can book lessons or open sessions whatever suits you.

The Alpine Lodge & Bar overlooks the slopes and offers hot and cold food as well as beverages for those apres ski moments, or you can relax in the new coffee lounge which overlooks the nursery slope.

I don’t know about you but ever since I watched ‘Cool Runnings’ I have wanted to try a Toboggan run. Well Swadlincotes Cresta Run didn’t disappoint with 500 metres of exciting twists, tunnels and turns. Age restrictions apply, 4-7 year olds must ride with an adult and 8+ years must ride on their own. The Sno-tubes are so much fun, they are large inflatable rings which can be spun and linked together to slide down a section of the slopes. (Min age 4 years.)

Not too bad to say it started its life as an old spoil heap left over from the highly productive coal mining days and was transformed by John Nike who’s estate also owns many other ski centres in the UK.

DEADLINE

30th SEPT

kids Mr Marsh’s incredible journey with The Nottingham Emmanuel School! In September 2004, a slightly anxious 11-year-old Oliver Marsh was embarking on a new chapter in his life by starting a new secondary school. Little did he know that a full 13 years later he would still have to get up on weekdays and put in a full day at The Nottingham Emmanuel School. That’s because Oliver Marsh is one of the school’s success stories. After GCSE’s and A Levels at the school, he was offered the opportunity to stay and become a Community Sports Leader, working closely with local primary schools and engaging students positively in sport. That work led to Oliver taking on more pastoral work as Assistant Achievement and Pastoral Manager for Year 11. This new role seemed to be ideal for Oliver and last month he was delighted to be selected to become the new Achievement and Pastoral Manager for Year 7 at the school. Oliver says he is passionate about his work and the school, “The fact that I have stayed at Emmanuel for 13 years now shows just how supportive and caring the staff are and how they are keen to see everyone achieve their full potential.” Oliver’s new responsibilities are to manage the academic progress of new students and their holistic, pastoral and spiritual growth for the following five years. “Having been in their situation, -and in this school, all those years ago, I think gives me an empathy for each and every student within in the new year group.” Oliver says his message for new starters in September would be to give school their best shot. “Give it everything, enjoy your time at Emmanuel and you will achieve your full potential.”

SMILE! Inspire wins Arts Council Support Inspire has received funding through Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts Libraries Fund to develop an exciting and innovative musical project in Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City libraries for children aged 3 – 5 and their families. In collaboration with MishMash Productions the project will create a brand new musical performance based on the popular children’s picture book Augustus and His Smile, written and illustrated by Catherine Rayner and published by Little Tiger Press, www. littletiger.co.uk. Titled Smile, the performance will convey the enchanting story of Augustus’s search for his smile through magical theatrical chamber music. Smile will be a musical adventure to delight young audiences across the county. Inspire who now deliver culture, learning and libraries on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council, aim to attract new audiences to libraries and to introduce children at an early age to high quality musical experiences. Elaine Dykes, Service Manager – Literacy and Reading, Nottingham Library Service, “This is an exciting partnership which will deliver an innovative musical experience to very young children in library settings. The programme is an excellent addition to our offer - Creating Better Futures – which we believe will bring classical music to new audiences”. Performances will tour libraries in Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City in October. Further details about the performance will be announced soon, on the Inspire website and via social media.

TAROSCOPES Air signs- Libra, Aquarius, Gemini (Seven of Coins, Page of Swords, Knight of Cups)

A new attitude will get you past this plateau. Up to now you’ve been a cynical, wry observer of a situation which is causing an issue. You’ve not wanted to get stuck in, and have remained on the sidelines, detached and cool. But, unfortunately, things won’t change till you jump in. Do so with as much positivity as you can muster: make the job a game, make the task fun. A spoonful of sugar will help this medicine go down.

Fire signs- Leo, Aries, Sagittarius (Three of Coins, Page of Cups, Four of Swords)

Taking a time out will actually move you further faster. Sometimes we can only go so far on our own, using our willpower and talents to propel us forwards. Now is a time to actually take a break, a time out from the fray. Do something silly and fun. Let your imagination take you on a playful adventure. And, you know what, it’s in this reverie that you’ll find crystal clarity about your next move.

Earth signs- Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus (Five of Swords, King of Wands, Nine of Wands)

This is the last stretch of a tough time; you’ve got this! You face one last test in an area of life you’re already wearied by. Ongoing conflict has led you to believe this might lead to a hollow victory and you’re not wrong, so draw things to a conclusion swiftly and forget about who’s right or wrong. Be bold and take a risk to shut this sitch down. Enough’s enough.

Water signs- Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio

(Eight of Cups, Ten of Wands, Death) Leave behind something which has drained you; it’s time for a change. You’ve taken on heavy burdens and carried them for a long time and, deep inside, you’re yearning to change course and move forwards lighter and brighter. You can! Follow this yearning, even if it means leaving something behind. A real, significant change is achievable by putting things down which have become too heavy.

from your Neighbourhood Beat Team.... Tackling antisocial behaviour Nottinghamshire Police recognises that antisocial behaviour is an important issue to individuals and communities. The impact of persistent nuisance or harassment can be worse than that of a single crime as due to the wider impact on a victim’s life, their health, mental and emotional wellbeing can suffer.

What are we doing? We actively work with local authorities to tackle and reduce antisocial behaviour, which can include anything from rowdy and noisy behaviour to street drinking and selling drugs on the street to vandalism, graffiti and flytipping. Through our neighbourhood teams we take a number of measures to understand and respond to local concerns by attending local meetings and engaging with community groups, and sharing the work that we do via Nottinghamshire Alert and our various social media platforms.

We have a range of powers that enable us to tackle antisocial behaviour including advice and warnings, escalating to antisocial behaviour orders, criminal sanctions and penalty notices for more serious incidents.

How to report antisocial behaviour • In an emergency: call 999 only if life is at risk or a crime is in progress. If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired, you can also text 999 with an emergency, but you have to register your phone beforehand by texting ‘register’ to 999 • In any other situation: call 101. This non-emergency number is the ideal way to report ongoing problems of antisocial behaviour • Call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

A significant number of people get stung by wasps and bees. In certain cases, these stings can lead to anaphylactic shock, which can be potentially fatal. Ray from Confirm a Kill Pest Control recommends ways to avoid stings and how to deal with them.

1) Remain Calm

People often wave their arms and move rapidly, this can cause the insect to become increasingly distressed, increasing the chance of a sting. Move away slowly if you encounter wasps or bees and do not swat them.

2) Buy repellent and avoid strong perfumes / deodorants Purchase an insect repellent with at least 50% DEET (diethyltoluamide) to effectively work. Spray this on uncovered skin.

3) Getting Stung

Clean the sting using soap and water. Keep a cold compress on the affected area for 10 minutes and elevate if possible. Antiseptic cream can be applied to provide soothing relief. Avoid home remedies such as bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. They have no effect.

4) Dealing with stings

NHS Choices website is a great site to visit for information on stings, it recommends you: • Call 111 for facial stings • Call 999 for anaphylactic shocks. • Call a professional pest control company to deal with wasp/bee nests.

Do not attempt removal yourself Confirm a Kill Pest Control have the correct equipment to deal with them safely minimising the risks of you being painfully stung or worse having a serious allergic reaction.

S Q U AT. KEY POINTS FOR A BETTER BACK SQUAT

Squat: you have all heard this term by now and the fact that injuries and mobility permitted, this exercise should be one of your main go to movements for multiple reasons.

Explaining the position

In this article, we will cover a few reasons why you should squat, and some technical points for improving your movement pattern. Why should I squat? Squatting is one of the key compound movements within exercise. It is a multiple joint, posture related movement, one of the first you perform as a child. If you watch a child from an early age their movement when performing a squat is natural, and pretty much perfect. This is because they have not yet had the factors of life that adults must manage with posture related issues.

1. Ideal position

The back squat is one of the most commonly, poorly performed exercises you will see in gyms.

2. Above parallel (not deep enough)

Why do people get it wrong? There are two main reasons this exercise is performed wrongly; first being the individual’s mobility. This is a key point we are going to address shortly. The other is social media. So many people now follow so called fitness professionals and take misguided information into their own training. You DO NOT need to reinvent the wheel on a basic but structured movement. If you already struggle with movement then forget pulse, paused and all the other BOOTY growing nonsense you are reading. Perfect the form of the basic movement, unweighted if you have to, before moving on to more complex squat methods.

3. Parallel (safe depth for knees)

Mobility How many times have you seen someone squatting but they have not warmed up the movement pattern before they add load on to their back? I am guessing a lot. A good squat needs a little attention before you even lift the bar. Are your hips mobile and warm? Is there any quad and hamstring tightness? Are there any joint issue or strains? Is your foot wear and positioning correct? There are many things to consider when it comes to performing this great exercise, to get the maximum benefit. Please reconsider your preparation.

Practise performing these movements. A great way to improve squat positioning is to: • Face a wall • Squat a few inches away, if your knees touch first, you are quad loading, try sitting back more • If your nose touches the wall first you are hip extending too soon, add a little knee hinge in at the same time • If clearance is good, focus on keeping as upright as you can by getting as close to the wall as you can, AND yes, it is possible to squat with your toes against the wall all the way to your bottom range. Happy Lifting! Kind regards The Strength and Physique Team

Woman: r e d n o W s iew Bur ton Rev Gal Power The DC Extended Universe has had a rocky road since its inception, with no movie yet released (Man of Steel, Batman Vs Superman, Suicide Squad) being given really positive reviews by critics. But while Batman Vs Superman was mercilessly beaten by the internet, it was praised for the DCEU’s interpretation of the badass woman from paradise – Wonder Woman. So surely it would make sense to put such a well received character into their own standalone adventure...right? The story of Wonder Woman shows us the origins of the shield and sword wielding goddess. Here we get to see her humble origins as the princess of a mythical island of warrior women, that has been hidden to the world by the daddy of all Greek gods, Zeus. Well that was until a German warship following an escaping spy happened to stumble onto the hidden paradise of Themyscira. Wonder Woman, or Diana, saves the spy and learns of the terrible war raging across the rest of the world, the war to end all wars, or as we know it now, World War 1. Compelled by her innate goodness and an immeasurable amount of courage, Diana leaves her paradise of a home to help the world of man and stop the war by killing Ares, the god of war. It’s a one woman against the world story. Well one woman with super human strength, indestructible gauntlets, a helpful shield and god-killing sword, against the world. Think we’re in safe hands. Gal Gadot is incredible as Wonder Woman. In this film she gets to explore a younger, more naïve Diana, one who is bristling with hope for a world ruled by peace and love and just so happens to be a superpowered tank of a woman. Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, the spy saved by Diana, was the perfect choice for this role, and is an actor to watch out for. Patty Jenkins not only continues to uphold the grainy and palpable house style of the DCEU movies that was created and perfected from Man of Steel through to BVS, but she also finds ways to make World War 1, a period of history that has been depicted on film many times before, look fresh and hauntingly beautiful.

Seeing Wonder Woman walk through the trenches, we were left in no doubt about how dire and desperate the situation was out there. When she ﬁnally suits up and enters no man’s land, her bright costume juxtaposing against the bleak, war torn land she is wading through, we get a real sense of sadness at how a once beautiful land has been destroyed. There is also hope, through Wonder Woman, that this world can be saved, nurtured and allowed to breathe again. Overall Wonder Woman isn’t a mind-blowing, runaway success that everyone should run out and see, but it is a solidly entertaining superhero ﬁlm that looks incredible, has a charismatic and almost perfectly casted set of characters, and shines a light on a whole new and interesting female lead for the DCEU.

Including Digital Legacies in Your Will The amount of data we store online is ever-increasing, from using online banking and streaming services to emails and online accounts. You might not have given much consideration to what will happen to all this electronically stored data after you die, but it could actually have a big effect on your estate. For example without any physical copies of bills or bank statements, and without login details for your online accounts it would be difficult for family members or trustees to manage your finances once you are gone. Therefore by making plans for your online accounts it will be easier in the long term for those you leave behind.

Recently legal academics and solicitors have been calling for a provision for online data to be included in wills after a court in Germany ruled that the parents of a teenage girl who had died did not have the right to access her Facebook account. The parents had sought access to the account to establish whether their daughter was being bullied and had committed suicide. In the UK online assets lie with the service provider, but it is still unclear who is allowed access to them upon a person’s death. Families can request for accounts to be deleted or to have partial access

to them, but with most websites having different policies, even a change of law in one jurisdiction would not necessarily help families to get access to the accounts of a deceased family member. One suggested solution is to store passwords for digital accounts in a letter alongside the will; however relatives who obtain the passwords but do not attain appropriate authority could be committing a criminal offence under section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. In order to prevent this content being lost to families forever a reform has been advised for when testators intend for this access to be given, or encouraging service providers to play a more prominent role in the access of digital legacies by giving users the opportunity to state whether they want account details to be made available to family members after their death. In 2014 America implemented the Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets act, establishing a process for allowing an executor, trustee or Power of Attorney to access and manage someone’s online accounts after their death, whilst also allowing designated accounts to be marked as “off limits”. Time will tell whether similar legislation will make its way over to the UK, but as a start it is worth at least maintaining a list of websites that you have signed up to which can be passed to your solicitor or a family member, making it easier for them to identify which sites have data about you. If you need advice about passing on your digital legacy to your relatives in the event of your death contact our Wills and Probate team on 0800 088 6270 or email enquiries@rotherasharp. co.uk

A LITTLE BIT OCD? I’m on a one-woman crusade! What I really want is to make people think before they use the phrase “I’m a bit OCD like that” or “that’s totally my OCD side coming out”, meaning that they like tidiness and order. Many people like to be in neat tidy surroundings and find neatness and symmetry pleasing but that doesn’t mean that they have OCD. Nor would they wish to because as any sufferer of OCD can tell you, it is a recipe for a miserable and severely limited life. OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and, as the name suggests, has two main components - the obsession side and then the corresponding compulsive behaviour side. It comes in a number of forms, mainly: • Checking – whether taps are off, doors are locked, etc. • Fears of germs and contamination. • Intrusive thoughts of a distressing nature. • Symmetry and order. When people think of OCD, they generally think of the sufferer with their cans and jars all neatly arranged in the cupboard, labels facing outward. But that is only the most visible symptom of the disorder. What gets completely missed are the distressing obsessive thoughts that cause the sufferer to spend hours and hours of their lives making their surroundings “just so” and the dire results they believe their failure to do so will cause. Most people will have had the experience of being just about ready to leave the house and then having to run back just to make sure they’ve unplugged the iron or switched the cooker off. They run

back, check all is ok and then continue with their daily business without giving it another thought. The person who suffers from checking OCD is unable to do that. Instead they are locked in a cycle of checking and rechecking, never able to trust their own judgement until the “ritual” has been performed to their satisfaction, restarting that ritual from the very beginning if it goes a fraction off-plan, often having a serious impact on their lives as a result. And the imagined result of their “failure” to check even worse – the death or destruction of their loved ones, of their home. One would hope that most people wash their hands after using a public toilet but imagine being so afraid of germs and contamination that even after you have washed your hands, they still don’t feel clean and already you can picture the germs swarming and multiplying on your skin and you believe the end result of your “unclean” hands will be that your family will get contaminated from the germs you brought home and will get sick and die. And that ultimately it just works out easier if you just avoid going out in the first place so that you are never in the situation where you need to use a public toilet or come into contact with germs left behind by others. These are just a few examples of the true distress that comes from suffering from an OCD illness – however, help is available if you feel your life is being ruined with such distressing and intrusive thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT) has been proven to help sufferers retrain their thoughts away from such distressing compulsive thoughts.
