Hello Readers,

4 Win Gig Tickets to see:

Hazel O’Connor & Band,

Welcome to this months edition of HULLMAG. I hope that you are all finding the time to enjoy some of the many exciting events and happenings in Hull under the City of Culture umbrella.

We have a very interesting interview in this months magazine with 0-Ten Photography who have just done the photoshoot for Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark’s (OMD) forthcoming album release.

Chris Oaten talks about how he first met the band and has worked with them over the years as well as what he is doing currently with 0-Ten Photography. I am sure you will be impressed with his photography and I do recomend that you check out some of his other work on his website.

Sir Quentin Blake Exhibition

We have some great competitions in this edition with tickets to see Hazel O’Connor and her band at Sheffield Foundry - I must say the her song ‘Will You’ is one of my all time favourites. We also have tickets for the ‘Through The Decades’ show at Bridlington Spa which features the music of two of the all time greats - Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison - againg I’m a fan of thier music and the hits they both had are far too many to mention.

We have some wide and varied articles in the magazine this month that will hopefully keep you entertained, informed and motivated (to either get out and go somewhere interesting or to make some lifestyle changes) these include articles on Detoxing, Friendships, Travel, Downsizing your home (for all you empty nesters) diets as well as the regular gardening and motoring features.

We have a great article about dogs and emotional eating on page 24 which has really made me stop and think about my own dog and his eating habits.

You can never say that we don’t have unusual articles in the magazine!!

Please do contact us at HullMag if you have a story that you feel needs to be shared or any issues that we can help with. We are always looking for writers, artists, musicians and photographers to help in our wide and varied business interests - so please do get in touch.

Until the next edition I hope you all enjoy the nice summer weather and take care.

Beautiful, but thought-provoking photographs shine a light on the lives of Sierra Leone’s LGBT community in new exhibition International documentary photographer Lee Price launched a powerful new exhibition at Humber Street Gallery in Hull on Thursday 27 July as part of Hull UK City of Culture 2017’s LGBT 50 programme. That day marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967 that decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two men in England and Wales.

It is still illegal to engage in homosexual acts in 77 countries, including in Hull’s sister city Freetown, Sierra Leone where a maximum sentence of life imprisonment can be imposed. While the law is rarely enforced, people of the LGBT community face persecution of a different kind.

Harassment, ridicule, eviction and violence at the hands of people who say homosexuality goes against their religious or cultural beliefs. Therefore, the vast majority of LGBT people choose to keep their sexuality a guarded secret from the people around them.

However, within the heart of Freetown, lives a young transgender woman who offers a warm welcome to members of the LGBT community in need.

Her home is a sanctuary where they do not have to hide who they are and can live without oppression whilst surrounded by those who understand and accept them. They call it ‘The House of Kings and Queens ‘.

Lee Price was commissioned by Hull 2017 to create this unique collection of photographs, which acts as a window into the lives of the house ‘s inhabitants and explores what it means to be gay in Freetown.

Price’s personal work predominantly focuses on the topic of sexuality. As a gay man, sociological attitudes towards sexuality have always been of great interest to him, and he has explored this subject matter in numerous forms and in various parts of the world.

His projects often document groups and subcultures that are hidden from view, from the gay cruisers of Sex with Strangers to the discriminated LGBT community of Uganda in Against the Order of Nature, and act as windows into underground worlds we might otherwise not know exist. With his ability to tell a poignant visual story, Price hopes to raise questions and spark debates surrounding issues he feels ought to be addressed.

Martin Green, Director of Hull 2017, said: “In this country we are in the privileged position of being able to celebrate how far LGBT rights have progressed, which is an important part of our LGBT 50 programme. However, we also wanted to shine a light on those parts of the world where they do not enjoy those same advances.

The photographs convey both the cloud of secrecy that the subjects of the images live under and the sense of liberation that they feel at being able to express themselves freely, even in such a restricted environment.

Lee said: “I was delighted to be asked to document such a poignant subject matter and to mark this important anniversary year of decriminalisation.

“The work, whilst a reminder of the progress still to be made with regards to international gay rights, is also a celebration of the inspiring defiance of oppression and segregation amongst the gay community of Sierra Leone.”

“We often hear the question ‘why does the LGBT community still need Pride’, the answer is simple, it’s because there are parts of the world where people are still persecuted for being themselves. That happens in Sierra Leone, but it also happens on the streets of our towns and cities where many LGBT people do not feel confident and comfortable to be themselves for fear of physical or verbal abuse.

“Lee Price’s strikingly beautiful, yet thought-provoking photographs show that hope can persevere, even in the face of adversity and I hope that in some small way, they will inspire people to be more supportive of each other closer to home.”

One of those people who visit the house, who can’t be named for fear of persecution back home, said: “Life is tough for gay people in Sierra Leone and especially those who are transgender. We face a lot of problems here; transgender people can be flogged in the streets and we don’t feel safe going out after dark in case we are attacked. When ebola came to Sierra Leone it was blamed on gay people. We suffer so much humiliation every day, but I am proud to be gay.”

A ban on petrol and diesel cars by 2040 – how will that affect me?

The government has announced plans to ban both the sale of both petrol and diesel cars by 2040. While this is 23 years away, it’s fair to say that the days of the pure internal combustion engine car are now officially numbered.

We’re assuming for now that the government’s plan doesn’t exclude hybrid cars. Hybrids use a combination of fossil fuel and electric energy to propel the vehicle – there are various setups, but the principle is the same, and the result is almost always a reduction in emissions from the tailpipe.

Hybrid cars almost always employ a petrol engine to work with an electric motor, though there are a very small number of diesel-electric hybrids on the road – a technology more commonly found in rail locomotives.

There’s no indication of a ban on the use of petrol and diesel cars, just their sale. Some of the cars on the road today can be expected to survive for another 23 years, and we’ve heard nothing to suggest that you’ll be prevented from owning one. However, as discussed above, local authorities may make life more difficult for drivers of diesel vehicles.

Is this the end of the road for diesel – and can I still buy one?

Categorically not yet. Diesel is still an important fuel for most larger vehicles, and remains the sensible choice – both financially and environmentally – for plenty of private car buyers. The planned ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars will not be enacted for another 23 years, and beyond that we expect the vehicles to linger.

These new rules will have an effect on the diesel car market, however.

The value of second-hand diesel cars will drop considerably, for a start, which in turn has an effect on how difficult they are to finance. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to recommend diesel vehicles to private buyers, apart from those with quite specific needs.

Both petrol or diesel are fundamental components of the transport infrastructure in this country. Diesel will remain an essential fuel for long-distance vehicles such as lorries, while petrol’s role in hybrid cars cannot be ignored. Bombastic headlines abound, but we shouldn’t proclaim the end of the internal combustion era just yet.

Have your children flown the nest? Our top tips for downsizing…

Like many parents, you will have raised your children in your current family home, but after they have fled the nest to attend University or start the next chapter in their life, you may find yourself in home that feels too big.

Lesley Stagg and her partner recently downsized their property; take a look at their top tips below.

“With our daughters having left home and living their own lives around the world, we decided that it was time to sell our family home and downsize to a smaller house.”

2.

Less maintenance, etc. For me this is a great incentive to downsize – less rooms to clean! It obviously depends on the style of property you choose, but a smaller property usually means less maintenance, smaller household bills and less garden to look after. Less time spent on your house will mean more time to pursue other things, such as your hobbies and visiting your offspring.

3.

Release equity. Selling to downsize could release some funds so that you have a cash injection for that dream trip you’ve always promised yourself, or to realise other dreams you may have.

4.

Mortgage payments. If you sold your current property and bought a cheaper property then you could pay off your mortgage or move to lower monthly mortgage payments, releasing money for other things.

Suitable properties for downsizing

Reasons to downsize 1.

Empty Nesters. Like us, you might be empty nesters who now rattle around in the large family home and just need a more suitable property for the number of permanent occupants. I do sometimes think about how we will accommodate any potential grandchildren, but I think that’s a long way off and wasn’t it loads of fun to camp out in a put-you-up bed at Grandma’s when we were kids?

To Contact

1.

Location. Obviously you’ll need to decide this first. Do you want to stay in the same location as your current house, or is this your chance to try something different? Move to the city vs move to the country, move closer to the kids vs move further away!

2.

Property Type. It might be a bit of a cliché to suggest a bungalow or a flat as your downsize options in later life. But it might be best not to be tied to those options as you can always move again later.

3.

New Build. Thinking about having less maintenance then a new build property might be an excellent choice.

Roald Dahl centenary portraits now on display at Central Library To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the best-loved children’s authors of all time, Roald Dahl, ten new portraits of Dahl’s most famous characters

by Sir Quentin Blake are now on display at Hull Central Library.

Part of the Living Knowledge Network and supported by the British Library, Sir Quentin Blake and Arts Council England, Hull is the first place exhibiting these new portraits outside of London, formerly on display at the British Library.

Dahl (1916 – 90) is one of the best-loved children’s authors of all time and for many people his work is inextricably linked with Blake’s distinctive illustrations. Today it is hard to imagine characters such as Matilda or the BFG without Blake’s illustrations immediately springing to mind.

Describing his project, children’s illustrator and cartoonist, Sir Quentin Blake said: “The Roald Dahl Centenary Portraits ask you to imagine that a number of Dahl’s characters have been invited to come and sit for their portrait; they are depicted, not quite as they appear in the illustrations, but more formally.

The perceptive spectator may notice that one celebrated couple declined to appear together, and another formidable personality obviously disapproved of the whole venture. Nevertheless I hope you will be happy to see this group of well-known characters treated as though they were real people – which, of course, to many of us they are.”

Councillor Terry Geraghty, Hull City Council Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Tourism and Chair of Hull Culture & Leisure Limited, said: “We are incredibly lucky to be the first city out of London to host these new portraits, celebrating Roald Dahl’s 100th birthday. Our thanks go out to the British Library, Quentin Blake and Arts Council England for making this possible for Hull, a unique opportunity to see some well-known characters that have been so popular with families over the years. And of course we have a fantastic range of books and films available, if families would like to borrow them from the library!”

Illustration workshops with illustrator and cartoonist Calvin Innes will take place at libraries across Hull as he leads a series of illustration workshops for children aged seven and above, inspired by Sir Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl. They they take place on: l Saturday 5 August, Fred Moore Library between 10am – 12noon l Saturday 26 August, Hull Central Library, between 10am – 12noon

The exhibition is on display until Wednesday 13 September celebrating Roald Dahl Day and Roald Dahl’s 101st Birthday. With free admission, the exhibition is open: Monday and Tuesday: 9am – 5pm, Wednesday: 10am – 7.30pm, Thursday: 9.30am – 7.30pm, Friday: 9.30am – 3.30pm and Saturday: 10am – 4pm.

Health & Wellbeing

Why You Should Detox Health and Wellbeing Guru Mary Tersini explains how toxins affect our health and what we can do in the short and long term to prevent exposure and clear them out.

Many health conscious people have tried a detox of their bodies. It is like starting with a clean slate which will make up for all of the unnatural foods and chemicals that they have previously been exposed to. It is a fresh start which may go along with resolutions to eat better and shy away from products containing toxic chemicals.

You may wonder why we need to detox at all? It’s because our bodies function the best when they are free of toxins that, in excessive concentrations, can damage virtually every aspect of our immune system and cause a myriad of health problems. Some toxins cause the immune system to overreact and our bodies become sensitive to everything. The result is autoimmune diseases wherein the body is attacking itself. Other toxic chemicals cause the immune system to under react allowing diseases and infections like colds, flu and other diseases to take hold.

safely removes toxic wastes. Over time, if you ingest, inhale or absorb through your skin more toxins than the liver is capable of removing, it becomes overloaded. The toxins are then recirculated through your blood system until the liver can handle them. If this condition continues, excess toxins have to be stored somewhere and they end up in our fat cells resulting in the formation of cysts and benign tumors.

When the fat cells can hold no more, toxins are stored in connective tissues like ligaments, bones, blood and muscle and nerve tissues. This may lead to joint pain and/or blood-related health conditions.

Eventually toxins accumulate in the cells of organs and glands causing diseases of the thyroid, vision, kidney, liver, lungs and heart, ultimately affecting the DNA of cells causing malignant growths.

Other ways our bodies expel toxins are via the kidneys, so be sure to drink plenty of water. A recommendation is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water per day. So, take your body weight, divide by two and drink that many ounces.

Toxins have been blamed for having a hand in just about every illness known to man.

Children are born with the same level of toxins in their bodies as their mothers. Recent tests have revealed the presence of about 200 chemicals in the umbilical cords of newborns.

Infants are more sensitive to toxins than adults which may be why there has been such a dramatic increase in some of the diseases that affect children such as autism.

A widely recognized and broad reaching problem toxins cause is disruption of our endocrine system – or our hormones.

In 2013 the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a report coproduced with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), titled: “State of the Science of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals.” The joint study has been touted as the most comprehensive report on endocrine disrupting chemicals to date.

According to the report, a wide variety of health problems are associated with exposure to these pervasive chemicals, including: l Non-descended testes in young males. l Developmental effects on the nervous system in children. l Prostate cancer in men. l Developmental effects on the nervous system in children. l Attention deficit hyperactivity in children. l Thyroid cancer.

The report states: “The diverse systems affected by endocrine-disrupting chemicals likely include all hormonal systems and range from those controlling development and function of reproductive organs to the tissues and organs regulating metabolism and satiety.

Effects on these systems can lead to obesity, infertility or reduced fertility, learning and memory difficulties, adult-onset diabetes or cardiovascular disease, as well as a variety of other diseases.”

The liver is the organ primarily responsible for detoxing our bodies. It receives, filters then repackages substances for use in the body and

Your skin is the largest organ of elimination so use your pores to expel toxins. Working up a sweat three times a week will help. If you can’t do that try a sauna, steam or detox bath using 1/2 to 1 cup of epsom salts. A few drops of lavender in the water will help you relax into the experience.

Breathe deeply to fully oxygenate your brain, body and spirit. We breathe in toxins from gas fumes, allergens from pets and plants and mold spores, and our lungs help to filter most of them out. Breathing deeply will help to get plenty of oxygen into your bloodstream to help keep all organs functioning at their peak.

These methods are natural ways that the human body has been detoxing since its creation, and are adequate if your exposure to toxic chemicals from food, air, the things you touch and wear and personal care products, that you rub on your skin, are in amounts that these body processes can adequately manage. But there is no way to know when toxicity levels have exceeded their capabilities other than when illness sets in. Unfortunately modern medicine’s remedies are usually more toxins in the form of prescription drugs or chemotherapy that further increases the toxic load. Unless the body is cleansed it may continue to experience more and more disease.

When deciding on a programme to clean up an excessive accumulation of toxins it is best to incorporate a process that will gradually release the toxins. If not done in this way too much toxicity can enter the blood stream and cause an overdose like reaction.

Our modern way of life has brought us many creature comforts and conveniences, an abundance of food, advanced medical care, the ability to travel long distances in a very short time and for the most part has been beneficial to mankind. But some of us are paying for it in our health because the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, the clothes that we wear and the things that we touch are laden with chemicals that didn’t exist 100 years ago. These chemicals overload the systems in our bodies that were not designed to cope with them in the levels of exposure that we currently experience.

And that is why we need to detox.

Summer Days Out

Family Guide to the Summer We’re lucky to live in an area that has lots of great outdoor attractions and things to do in the summer months. There’s lots of family events and activities coming up too so here’s my roundup of what’s ‘hot (!)’ this summer and what I’m looking forward to doing with my little ones.

The big one is the Hull 2017 City of Culture program of events. As July starts we are already half way through the year and we enter the third season, Freedom. Hull certainly has a buzz about it now, I’ve enjoyed simply strolling around the marina with my children, getting ice creams and seeing some of the art installations. The new Trinity Square is lovey and we always like a trip up the High Street to the Museums Quarter. In addition to simply seeing the sights of the new city centre, there are some specific family events coming up l Streetlife Museum is hosting an exhibition from 3rd July to 2nd October – Tiger Rags, the Fabric of Hull City AFC. My 6 year old is football and Hull City mad so this exhibition of kits and memorabilia is on our must see list! l The Humber Street Gallery is becoming a hub for family events on Humber Dock Street. They will be holding regular children’s activity sessions, Free Play Fridays, where to whole family can drop in and get creative. Find them on 21st July, 4th and 18th August and 1st and 15th September, all 10am-12noon. l Deuce (opposite Humber Street Gallery) are also holding events called States of Play, family workshops to make your own innovative pieces of craft. These run on 2nd, 16th and 23rd August. l Albermarle Saturdays are regular Saturday free shows and workshops at the Albermarle Music Centre in Hull. Their next children’s show is Lullabyhullaballoo on 5th August.

l Yum Food Festival is 11th and 12th August around Queens Gardens in Hull, as well as lots of food there are children’s activities.

Details and booking info for all of these are on the Hull2017 website and the Mumbler website. l The Deep have an event on across the summer, I love the Deep, where families can get creative and celebrate the city of culture by helping to create a giant montage in craft corner to showcase your favourite things about The Deep.

If you’re in Hull city centre it’s also worth popping into St Stephen’s.

For wet weather days they have 2 great indoor attractions which we’ve enjoyed trying out, Gravity Trampoline Park and Rock Up, indoor climbing and soft play. The shopping centre is also holding special family events every Sunday during the summer - 30th July, 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th August and 3rd September.

My other top family events around our area to check out this summer are: l National Playday is 2nd August, a must for all families with young children, this free event in Queen’s Gardens, Hull, has lots of stalls, activities and fun for little ones. We go every year! l Hull Show in East Park is 12th & 13th August, a funfair and lots of entertainment in the park including Knights Jousting! l I’m also holding my own Mumbler Family Fun Day this summer, Sunday 20th August 1-4pm at the Hallmark Hotel in North Ferriby.

There will be bouncy castles, children’s games and activities, stalls, BBQ and a program throughout the afternoon of local baby and tots taster classes to come along and try out. It’s free to attend and I hope to meet some of you there! l Beverley Racecourse are holding 3 family racedays, with extra children’s activities alongside the racing. 1st August is the circus themed Roll Up Roll Up Raceday, Camel Racing is on 17th August and A Sunday Hop is 27th August. Under 18s are free and tickets start at £5 so this makes for a cheap family day out.

For the sunny days, we have some great Houses & Gardens nearby to visit, many of which have special events over the summer. We like Burnby Hall, Burton Agnes, Burton Constable, Sewerby and a short drive across the Humber bridge Normanby Hall and Elsham Hall. Check their websites or the Mumbler website for when they have family activities on. Fort Paull is worth a visit too, they have lots of events on including Pirates and Knights in Battle.

Summer Days Out We have a fantastic selection of parks in our area and you can make a free day out of going to a few and taking a picnic. There are some lovely places just to have a walk or bike ride. Try some of the stretches of the Humber, we like parking near the Humber Bridge at Country Park Inn and walking up towards North Ferriby. Humber Bridge Country Park and Beverley Westwood are great to explore too and again if you take some snacks or a picnic are a free day out. Water’s Edge across the bridge in Barton is always a lovely day out, you can walk around the boardwalks feeding the ducks, cycle along the Humber and go inside the visitor centre where there’s children’s activities. After the bridge toll, it’s all free. .

Allerthorpe Lake is a little gem near Pocklington, a nice lake with a shallow area to paddle in, some sand a good park. For a small entrance fee you can go for the day.

Don’t forget the coast; we live near some lovely stretches of coastline and seaside resorts, pack a picnic and some buckets and spades and you can have a full day crabbing, rock-pooling and exploring for free. We like Bridlington and Withernsea as they have lots to do and also Fraisethorpe for somewhere quieter. Hornsea is good for a stroll on the sea front and you can also call at Hornsea Freeport who have their new Bugtopia and Beach Cove attractions open.

Summer can be an expensive time to have a family, but there are lots of things you can do to keep the cost down. A lot of the City of Culture Events and Family Fun Days are free to attend so look up which ones seem to be the best value for money. We usually set a limit for extra’s such as going on rides and buying ice creams while we’re at events or on a day trip, giving each child a set amount of money and they choose what to spend it on (trying to teach them the value of money at the same time as having a trip out but it usually ends in tears when one spends up!).

I’ve put lots more ideas for things to do this summer on the Hull & East Riding Mumbler website. Within the Days Out section are pages on the left with ideas for Walks, Parks, Attractions and more. The Events Calendar lists special one off family events and the School Holidays section has holiday clubs and activities running across the summer.

Check it all out at hullandeastriding.mumbler.co.uk.

Have a great summer!

HullMag Interview

Musical Manoeuvres in Hull, O-Ten Photography shoots 80’s synth icons OMD for their new album.

HullMag catches up with O-Ten to discuss his inspirations for the new shoot.

HM: How did you meet OMD? O-Ten: I met OMD, in particular Andy McCluskey, in 1984 on their Junk Culture Tour. It was in Sheffield and I snook backstage after the gig but a burley bouncer tried to stop me shaking hands with Andy however Andy stopped him and so we briefly chatted.

I left the concert one very happy bunny.

HM: How did you keep the connection going for so long?

O-Ten: After our first meeting Andy used to allow me backstage to meet the band before the gig which was amazing. We have remained friends ever since.

HM: How did you get into OMD? O-Ten: I can remember when and where I first heard their music, it was when I was in the sixth form at Kelvin Hall School. I used to go to my mate’s house, Andy Duffin, he played Electricity and Messages and I said, “ Can you copy these songs, I love them!” I saved up and bought their first album and then began to add to my OMD collection.

HM: Is this the first time you have photographed OMD? O-Ten: No I photographed them in 2010 for ‘History Of Modern’ album. My photos appeared in the album, limited edition vinyl, tour programmes and DVD artwork.

To Contact

HM: Why did OMD choose you as their photographer for History of Modern and their latest album?

O-Ten: Andy saw my photos in 2009 which I had taken of my muse, Kitty, and he loved how edgy my photos looked.

He said, “You will have to do some OMD promo shots”. A year past and in 2010 Andy sent me an e-mail saying, “Are you ready to do the shoot?”

I did two separate shoots, location and studio, a mixture of which were used for History of Modern.! !

HM: Didn’t you have a 2 months OMD exhibition at Hull Truck?

O-Ten: Yes I had the photos from the History of Modern shoot enlarged up to AO and Andy kindly attended the official opening of the exhibition. The Lord Mayor of Hull attended this event too and the press did lots of interviews with Andy and myself, also fans were able to meet Andy and brought CDs etc for Andy to sign. He also exclusively played the new album too along with a video for their first single release. It was a great night.

Most of the large prints were bought by a huge fan of OMD, Imogen Bebb, she really is a super fan! Other prints were given to The Lord Mayor and Andy for their charitable events.

HM: Have OMD ever played Hull?

O-Ten: Unfortunately no. I have asked Andy a few times but sadly there are no plans as yet to play Hull. Gary Numan, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Stranglers and Primal Scream for example have played this

City to packed houses, so maybe OMD will see someday that Hull should be put on their tour itinerary in the very near future.

there were a lot of funny photos taken too.

HM: Do you ever get nervous about shooting OMD?

O-Ten: I asked Hayley Young as she is a great make-up artist and Paul Dobson from Hair

By Sapphire, I like to get local talent involved wherever I can.

Post production and editing was by Micci (She’s Got Claws), I trust her to edit my photos as she has a very creative eye for choosing the best shots. She knows how to make people look the best they possibly can.

O-Ten: No not at all, I have never been nervous when shooting any client. I keep shooting until I know I have the shots and even then I sometimes keep going, I like to give my clients the best photos, I think if I became nervous this would distract and hinder my work, so I keep very focussed.

HM: What happens after you have completed a shoot with OMD? O-Ten: Usually it’s off to the pub to chill, this particular shoot OMD decided to stay over in Hull and we partied at Thai House until late. I know the owner Gabrielle who pulled out all the stops to make our evening amazing,

HM: Who else was involved in the shoot?

HM: Did you get a brief for the shoot?

O-Ten: Not from OMD, although Paul did bring a great variety of clothes which they could both use and Andy has often used a few of my jackets and for this shoot he did wear my shirt lol. Their management company gave me a brief of what they wanted from this shoot, they

wanted Andy and Paul to look like the synth icons they are with a dark, strong and edgy feel to the photos and I believe that is what they were given. I’m very proud of these photos as I delivered the brief with the help of Hayley, Paul and Micci. OMD brought slides so we could project their album artwork across their faces, then Hayley recreated their artwork by painting onto their faces, she did an amazing job. I would like to thank our friend Pete Street for the loan of his projector.

HM: What’s the name of OMD’s new album?

O-Ten: The album is called Punishment of Luxury and is to be released 1st September on 100% Records.

the photos were causing a huge wow with over 100 comments and likes. It was a great relief to know that I had delivered, there were some very kind and positive comments, I even made a few girls swoon on how amazing the guys looked.

HM: What are your plans for the future?

O-Ten: I have just taken the photos for a new album by She’s Got Claws. Her new album is called War Torn and I’m very excited about this anti-war album and the images. I love to create the images to the sound that I hear, that’s why I love photographing music artists.

Visit O-Ten and see all the images at: www.otenphotography.co.uk

HM: What has been the feedback from these photos?

O-Ten: I put a few online as a test on an unofficial OMD fan site and in less than one hour

Pets Column

Is Your Dog an Emotional Eater?

Does your pooch like indulging in too much of a good thing?

He could be an emotional eater.

As authorities battle the growing obesity problem among the UK population, the concept of emotional eating has been brought into the limelight. For many Brits, “comfort eating” is something we do during periods of emotional turmoil. Just been dumped by your partner? Why not try curing the resulting depression with a tub of ice cream? Angry and stressed after an horrendous day at work? Maybe you’ll find happiness at the bottom of a biscuit tin.

However, she says that emotional eating may be related to boredom, stress or depression, all of which are more chronic conditions. When combined with other factors, such as a lack of exercise and the availability of unhealthy “junk” food, emotional eating could be a contributing factor to pet obesity rates in the UK.

STATE OF MIND

More research needs to be done before we can form a full picture of what causes overeating in our canine companions.

However, if stresses, anxieties, fears and phobias can have an impact on our dogs’ eating habits, how can we help our furry friends feel relaxed and happy?

most. Food? Toys? Companionship? They can then address these needs,” Dr Righetti says. “So if a dog needs companionship, hire a dog walker, ask a friend to visit or use doggy day care. If the dog likes toys, rotate toys around. Food and toy oriented dogs will love food-releasing toys.

‘Hunting’ for food helps occupy a dog and helps with weight reduction, as the dog spends longer searching for food.”

“A fear is nature’s way of avoiding potentially dangerous situations,” Dr Righetti explains. “Fear is normal when truly fearful stimuli are present. When an animal perceives that a frightening stimulus will occur (whether it actually does or not), this is anxiety. Anxiety can occur in all sorts of situations. Those in which the dog has had a negative experience, for example loud noises like thunder, or no experience of, for example meeting children for the first time, can cause anxiety and stress.

Having nothing to do can cause stress (boredom), as can being separate from your social group (separation anxiety).

But new research suggests it’s not just us humans who are emotional eaters — our pets do it as well. Studies have shown that when confronted with stress, anxiety or even boredom, some dogs and cats will use food as a coping mechanism.

Rather than eating only when they’re hungry, these pets will overeat in response to how they are feeling.

And the results of this can be pretty unhealthy — after all, up to 40 per cent of Australian dogs are either overweight or obese. Animal behaviourist Dr Joanne Righetti says emotional eating has been documented in humans and other animals, including mice, so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that it is also aff ecting our pets.

“More often, however, I see the opposite: pets who do not eat due to stress,” Dr Righetti says. “When adrenalin runs through our bodies, it slows digestion and overt stress may even result in the pet evacuating its bowel and bladder. You do not need to digest a meal if you are about to fight for your life. Thus, major stress causes a reduction in eating.”

To Contact

Dogs have different reactions to these stressors. Many dogs, due to adrenalin energy build-up, react in an external manner. They may try to escape, dig holes or bark. Other dogs, however, will eat more.

“Socialisation when young is a very important part of a dog’s life,” Dr Righetti says. “Controlled and positive introductions to experiences in life are the best way to prevent any anxieties later in life. When an anxiety has developed, gradual introductions to the frightening stimulus can help — this is known as desensitisation. This is the best method for solving anxiety issues.”

There are also management strategies that can be used to help prevent doggy stress. For example, having a dog walker walk your dog may alleviate the stress of separation anxiety for a little while.

If your dog is struggling with boredom, try giving him an occupation. Many breeds were traditionally working dogs and now have very little to do in our home and gardenss, especially when left alone all day.

“Owners can look at what drives their dog

UP TO YOU

Of course, owners have a massive role to play when it comes to stopping their pet from overeating. It’s important not to overfeed your pooch, as overweight pets have a shorter lifespan and are at a much greater risk of suff ering any number of health conditions.

“If a pet is an ‘emotional eater’, though, to take away their safety net food would actually stress them more,” Dr Righetti says. “It’s better to provide food but in a way that the dog can have a longer enjoyment period with their favourite activity eating so use a food-dispensing toy.”

It is also important to understand the cause of the dog’s stress and remove the stressor, or work on desensitisation. With a patient and considered approach, your dog’s comfort eating can soon become a thing of the past.

“Owners are basically everything to their dogs,” Dr Righetti says. “They are the food supply, the gym, the emotional support.

We need to be mindful of this and satisfy canine needs.”

Gardening

Why it’s worth growing fruit in the shade For sweetness, yes, most common fruit need full sun. But for a tangy tartness that’s ideal for jams, hide raspberries, gooseberries and cherries in a shady spot Pick up a growing guide for pretty much any common fruit and I am willing to wager that a spot in “full sun” comes up in the top three list of requirements. But, in the cool of the shade, the tart, cooking varieties really come into their own. Which is a pretty spectacular silver lining for lovers of homemade pies, jams and jellies who have an awkward, shady garden plot.

Once upon a time I wondered why anyone would want a mouthpuckeringly sour gooseberry when they could have a luscious sweet one straight from the plant. What’s the point of fruit if you have to boil it in an avalanche of sugar to make it edible? But boy I was wrong.

You see, “culinary” varieties aren’t used in cooking simply because there is no other way of eating them, but because their bright acidity is essential to balancing out the sugar levels in most desserts. So they resolutely hang on to their zesty, fresh fruity flavour far better than many low-acid “dessert” varieties.

For me, the easiest of all of these old favourites to grow has to be blackcurrants, whose woodland origins mean they thrive in the shade. Unlike blueberries they are totally unfussy about soil and ridiculously easy to propagate from cuttings, despite containing far more phytonutrients than the celebrated “superfood”. A firm favourite of mine for flavour and yield is “Ben Connan”.

Raspberries will also offer up great yields even in shade. My current favourite for its excellent vigour and almost e-number intense flavour is a purple hybrid form called “Glen Coe”.

They are like gumdrops that grow on canes.

If it is tree fruit you are interested in, it doesn’t get any better than the tart cherry variety “Morello”. It’s an old Kentish cultivar that is the secret behind any of the most incredible cherry jam and cherry aid you’ve ever had.

I once made two cherry pies to compare this favourite versus shopbought “sweet” forms bred for low acidity and long shelf life. It was barely possible to even identify what the fruit was in the latter – there was just a generic sweet, red fruit flavour. Yet with “Morello” it was as if I was eating a cherry for the very first time.

If you are up for something more exotic, however, I implore you to give Chilean guavas a go. The candyfloss-meetsstrawberry fragrance of these South American blueberry relatives is unbeatable – yet will never be seen in even the fanciest supermarkets.

Yet, sadly, many of these culinary varieties have disappeared from commercial cultivation over the past half century. So if you want the real McCoy you’ll just have to grow your own – and a shady plot is the perfect spot.

Time to give up the pot: why it’s much better to plant in the ground We assume earthenware vessels are easier; in fact the opposite is true

To newbie gardeners the world of horticulture can seem a daunting place. Between the daily slog of summer waterings, the bewildering range of fertilisers and the cost of pots, potting mix and assorted paraphernalia which can soon start to add up, I don’t blame them.

Fortunately, there is a single tip that can slash your workload and significantly up your chances of plant growing success, not to mention cutting your garden centre bills. It really couldn’t be simpler either: just ditch the pots and plant everything in the ground. This may go against what beginners are often told – after all, there is even an industry campaign with the slogan “It starts with a pot” – and it may seem counterintuitive, as container growing can seem a smaller, simpler undertaking than tackling a whole plot. But it is generally true. Let me explain.

In comparison to the ground, containers hold substantially less growing media. This means their surface-area-to-volume ratio is far greater, which causes them to heat up and cool down far quicker than the ground. These fluctuations in temperature can damage plant roots and compromise overall growth. To make matters worse, the same applies for the rate of water loss in pots, meaning you will have to get out with the hose more. In the case of hanging baskets, this can be up to twice a day at the peak of the summer.

If you are using a traditional compost-based potting media for your pots, you will probably also be tied into the effort and cost of continual fertiliser applications. This is because these are usually made of ingredients such as peat or coir that naturally contain low levels of essential plant nutrients. Being organic plant fibres, these tend to break down over time, meaning they will need to be topped up every year with new material.

The difference these cumulative effects can have on plant growth can be astonishing. Apple trees and berry bushes I planted in the ground consistently offer up yields up to twice that of identical varieties I bought and planted at the same time in large pots, not to mention the extra work and C cost of the pots themselves.

But what do you do Y if you are growing on a paved area or patio and have to use containers? There areCM still three ways to up your chances. First, choose pots of nonporous materials like metal, glazed ceramic, plastic or resin, not MY breathable terracotta, which can lose water throughout its entire surface. Second, a few large pots will always be less susceptible CY than loads of small ones. And, finally, using a soil-based growing media (also known as loam-based) will hold water and minerals CMY for far longer and won’t break down anywhere near as fast as compost-based ones. But, trust me, the ground is always best.K

Mediterranean diets ‘cut deadly breast cancer risk by 40 percent’ – study Maximising your intake of plant-based foods and cutting refined carbs could help prevent one of the most deadly forms of cancer A Mediterranean diet could reduce the risk of a form of breast cancer, a new UK study has found.

Scientists have found that women following a Mediterranean diet, which is high in fresh vegetables, fruits and lean proteins, and low in sugar and saturated fats, are 40 percent less likely to develop oestrogenreceptor (ER-) negative breast cancer.

The study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, monitored postmenopausal women over a 20-year period to ascertain the impact the diet had on developing ER-negative breast cancer.

The study found that women who adhered most closely to the diet were 40 percent less likely to develop ER-negative breast cancer than women who adopted the diet the least.

Each year in the UK, one in three cases of breast cancer is categorised as ERnegative, which is found to have higher fatality rates due to the cancer not having receptors for hormones, meaning that it is unresponsive to hormonal therapy.

The study’s results could save thousands of lives a year.

Every 10 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with breast cancer. That equates to nearly 62,000 people a year.

Of these, 11,400 women in the UK die from breast cancer every year. While the main risk factors of breast cancer are gender, family history of the disease, and aging (most breast cancers occur in women over 50), scientists are increasingly

looking at other contributing factors, and what can be done to help reduce the risks.

The Mediterranean diet first piqued interest in 1978 when American nutrition scientist Ancel Keys started his ‘seven countries study’, and found the rate of fatal heart disease in Crete, Greece, was 20 times lower than in the US. People in Crete also had the lowest cancer rates and fewest deaths overall.

The classic Med diet has similar health benefits to a vegetarian diet such as a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, inflammation, type 2 diabetes, reduced risk of strokes, and depression.

Professor Piet van den Brandt from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, who led the World Cancer Research Fund sponsored study, said,

“We found a strong link between the Mediterranean diet and reduced oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer risk among postmenopausal women, even in a non-Mediterranean population.”

Those on the diet need a reduced intake of refined grains such as white bread, rice, red meat and sweets.

Alcohol was excluded from the criteria, even though it was part of the diet due to it being a known risk factor for breast cancer.

Emma Pennery, clinical director of the charity Breast Cancer Care, said, “It is very important to remember that while lifestyle choices like eating a well-balanced diet and taking regular exercise can help reduce the risk of cancer, they don’t guarantee prevention.”

Remember, while choosing a more balanced diet and lifestyle will certainly help with your overall health, it’s also very important to regularly check for symptoms and contact your GP if you have any concerns.

More than 12,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented each year in the UK if alcohol was cut from people’s diets.

To find out more, visit Nutritionist Resource for expert articles and to find a nutrition professional in your area.

While the diet itself is a key factor, the ‘Med lifestyle’ that comes with it could also be a contributor.

Additionally, you can find more information on breast cancer on the NHS website.

Relationships

Do friends make you happier than family?

Friendships are less judgmental and and more likely to be positive. Having good friends can even make you healthier Do you believe that blood is thicker than water?

That your family relationships are more important than friends? Well, think again. Research from Michigan State University suggests that friends may make you happier and healthier than your relatives.

Solution As William Chopik, associate professor of psychology and author of the study says: “Friends are a conscious choice. Family relationships can be serious, negative and monotonous.” The research included two studies – one a broad survey of nearly 300,000 people, aged between 15 and 99, from more than 90 countries. This study found that those who valued friendships highly were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older.

The second study used data from a US survey of 7,481 people over 50. Subjects were questioned about the quality of their friendships – how much friends understood them and how much they let them down. They were also asked how strongly they agreed with the statement: “My life is close to ideal.” Over the next six years they were followed up and asked whether they had illnesses such as diabetes, cancer or heart disease.

When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported higher rates of disease. When friends were supportive, people were healthier. Most of the friendships were reported as being supportive. Family, however, were found to have little influence on an individual’s health and wellbeing. Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as friends.

Chopik says he isn’t suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better. “With friends you are more likely to do activities – they provide an outlet. You can say things to friends and they are less judgmental. There is a distance there that provides a level of honesty.”

Research consistently shows the benefits of friendships – a review of 148 studies with more than 308,000 people found that those with strong social relationships increased their odds of survival over the seven years of the study by 50%.

The researchers pointed out that this increase is comparable to the health benefits of giving up smoking. Other research shows that people generally say they have a better time with friends than with relatives in later life.

However, friendships often fall away after people cohabit, marry or have children. Chopik says the fall can be from five or six close friends to two or three. He says that cultivating good-quality friendships across our lives is beneficial – raising self-esteem and buffering against stress. We tend to naturally drop friendships that aren’t good for us or are superficial. Listening and being trustworthy are important in good friendships – the same qualities that would enhance family relationships.

Travel

New Zealand

The Land of the Long White Cloud...

I didn’t quite know what to expect from my trip to New Zealand last month but I have to say it did not disappoint.

The more I saw the more I wanted to see and be amongst these ultra-friendly people. The country is made up of two islands, the North Island & the South Island. Both are very different in what they have to offer and I was lucky enough to experience a little part of both. New Zealand covers an area slightly larger than the UK but with 60 million less people is wonderfully uncrowded, allowing the spectacular landscapes to take centre stage.

My tour started in Auckland, on the North Island and ended in Queenstown on the South Island.

I enjoyed many activities along this route all very different but equally enjoyable for various reasons. In this edition I am sharing a little about the North Island.

Sailing out of Auckland Harbour & taking the wheel was a fun activity.

Having never experienced this before I found it both exhilarating & extremely peaceful sailing away from this bustling harbour. I now know why they call Auckland the “City of Sails.”

Moving South to Rotorua you are surrounded by one of the World’s most active geothermal areas. On route you travel via Waitomo to experience the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. You are joined by an extremely knowledgeable guide who takes you inside the caves to experience how these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light. The informative commentary provides you with information on the cave’s historical and geological significance, ending in a boat ride on the Waitomo River, which enables you to enjoy thousand’s of glowworm lights making up Glowworm Grotto.

A visit to Te Puia Thermal Reserve gives you a guided tour around this cultural centre enjoying maori arts, crafts & history. Bubbling mud pools & geysers are in abundance here & you can even sit on natural “hot rocks” to warm your bottom! The erupting geysers are a spectacular sight to see.

A Maori Hangi Feast is a one of a kind storytelling evening highlighting their local traditions & customs. After experiencing a traditional welcoming ceremony enjoy an evening of interactive fun, whilst learning all about the Maori way of life.

A Maori feast , prepared for you in the traditional way, is followed by a concert of music and dance.

Wai–O-Tapu, translates to Sacred Waters, and is another phenomenal thermal wonderland in this unique area of natural beauty. This is a very colourful volcanic area to explore spectacular nature that you can walk around at your own pace along well defined wooden tracks. The colourful photography you can take here is stunning & ever changing. The sulphur smells in the whole of this area do not suit everyone, but the spectacular natural sites it allows you to visit make it a must see option on anyone’s itinerary.

From here I took a small plane to take me from North to South Island, landing at Christ Church, for the start of my Southern Adventure which I look forward to sharing with you next month.

Summer Fun

5 Ways to Embrace your Inner Child this Summer If you’re afraid to let your imagination run wild, remember that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean growing up Remember when you were a kid, and your biggest worry was whether the rocket you were building from cardboard boxes would be able to carry all your toys to the moon? The pressures of daily adult life can often make us feel stuck in a rut of responsibility, and we forget to let our guards down in order to enjoy some carefree fun. But what if we took a day out to not act our age? Or to at least give in to our playful selves and release our inner child again? Here’s a few thoughts on how you can add some happy-go-lucky playfulness to your daily routine:

BUILD A FORT

All you need are a few pillows, blankets and a creative mind to let a comfy castle – or perhaps a secret cave – begin to take shape in your home. If you’ve got kids, they’ll love to get involved and have a secret space to play. If not, you’ve got yourself a perfect den for reading, writing or even watching one of your favourite childhood films.

HAVE A FANCY DRESS PARTY

Part of being a kid all over again is enjoying a lack of inhibition, whereby you can let your high spirits come out to play. Getting into character and making a costume can be a fun release, and giving your party a fancy dress element makes things that much more special with the effort you and your friends will put into it.

It also gives you something to anticipate: trying to guess what your friends will show up as. Plus, with a few summer cocktails, it’ll be full of laughs.

HAVE A WATER FIGHT

Get yourself outdoors with a bunch of friends, water balloons at the ready, and let the chaos commence! Hopefully the British summer will appear as an excuse for you to cool off in the sun, but whatever your reason, it’s great to recreate the fun of running around and playing chase-and-catch. The water is just another element to throw into the mix.

EXPLORE NATURE

It could be as simple as heading to the local woods to climb a tree, visiting a brook to build a dam, or going for a bike ride around the places you normally just pass through on your way to work. Experiencing familiar haunts from a fresh, creative angle can be an easy and fun way to get outside and rekindle that adventurous spirit.

HAVE AN ADVENTURE

If you fancy a new activity or want to go further afield in your exploring, there are lots of activities for adults that allow you to access your inner child. Bounce Below is a thrill-seeker’s subterranean playground with trampolines, bouncy nets and slides, set in a cavern in north Wales. Another great day out is Go Ape, which has locations all across the UK, providing tree top adventures where you can unleash your primal Tarzan as you face high rope obstacles, or explore the forest on your own Segway experience.

THE LAST WORD

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

SUMMER CHALLENGE

It’s that time of year again when all children and teachers cheer and all parents shudder at the thought of the 6 week school holiday! It’s not that we begrudge them the time off. I mean, I loved it when I was young. It’s just the challenge of keeping youngsters busy and, when you’re at work, finding somewhere safe to leave them. So, have you got your 6 week calendar ready? If not, make a chart and stick it on the wall so you know who’s where, when and what they’re doing, whether you’re on your family holiday, having a day out, leaving them with friends or family for the day or if you’ve signed them up for a summer sports programme. You get the idea! That’s what I’m planning to do! Don’t forget though that it always goes quicker than you think, so do try to make the most of any down time while you can!

FITTER THAN EVER?

Ha! Well, I started off really well when I got my Fitbit in May but I must say June was a bit of a let down on the whole fitness front. Of course, that’s entirely my

own fault, but fear not! I am back at it and my best day recently was 12,995 steps.

If only I’d taken 5 more steps I’d have broken the 13,000 barrier! Anyway, I must keep taking advantage of the light evenings with my 10-year-old daughter, aka my walking buddy! If you’re trying to get fitter and struggling, keep trying. Remember small changes, like taking the stairs or parking further away from the supermarket entrance, all count towards extra steps and, eventually, combining it with a sensible diet, can have impressive results not just on what you look like on the outside but what’s going on inside aswell!
