appy New Year to you all!

This month’s Local Issues is about a very inspirational local man, Clarence Adoo. I had the pleasure of meeting Clarence back in November and was really touched by this man’s outlook on life although he lives with the most dreadful disability.

Clarence’s achievements are outstanding and when reading about him you can’t help but be inspired and appreciate your own life more, I really recommend the read.

With the new year ahead it is a time when many people will be thinking about a New Years resolution, whether it is to lose weight, get fit, move house, give up smoking, study harder etc… whatever resolution you decide upon there are a number of local businesses who are happy to offer their particular service/product in order to help you reach your goal.

What’s a Mobile Phone Website?

One half of local searches are performed on I am sure that some of you will be asking the mobile devices. question what is a Mobile Website? Quite simply 86% of mobile internet users are using their it is a website used in conjunction with your mobile phone whilst watching the television. existing website but for a mobile phone or any other portable device.When browsing the World Women aged 35 – 54 are the most active Wide Web it can be extremely frustrating trying group in mobile socialization to read and navigate around a standard website which has been originally built for a standard On average Americans spend 2.7 hours computer screen.

According to estimates by The ITU (June 2012) there are 1.1 billion active mobile-broadband subscriptions in the world, that is 16 percent of the global population. Mobile-broadband subscriptions have grown 45 percent annually over the last four years and subscriptions outnumber fixed broadband subscriptions 2:1.

This next stage in the development of websites is a natural progression and those businesses who want to maintain a strong competitive edge will need to think seriously about updating their website to become mobile phone compatible in order to maintain their market share and be credible within this continually challenging technical climate.

My Local Hero M

y brother Clarence Adoo was brought up by foster parents with myself and my two sisters. We spent most of our early days living in Richmond Avenue, Shoeburyness. Clarence went to Richmond Primary and then Shoeburyness High School. He always had a great love for music after learning to play the cornet (trumpet) with the Shoeburyness Salvation Army band from the age of six.

Today, despite his disability, Clarence has retained a role with the Northern Sinfonia as an Education Animator. He visits schools, colleges and adult groups in the north of England to lead music workshops or discussions on music and composers and has been selected on several occasions for the panel of BBC Young Musician of the Year. His charismatic personality and positive attitude have earned him opportunities to take part in television and radio programmes, where he is a strong Clarence or Claz as he is affectionately known, left advocate for disabled issues.

School and worked in the insurance industry in London. The company relocated north, so he used Clarence was one of the founder members of the this opportunity to also follow his dream career as a recently formed British Paraorchestra, led by world professional trumpet player. famous conductor Charles Hazelwood. Their biggest concert to date was performing at the He studied at the Royal College of music and then Paralympics closing ceremony with Coldplay. They became a renowned freelance trumpet player. also made a Christmas single involving the Kaos During this time he worked in all forms of music, Choir for Deaf and Hearing children with the from pop and jazz, to classical. He worked with Cliff Paralympics GB team. Also, they were invited to play Richard, Courtney Pine, and the Jazz Warriors and their version of the National Anthem, by the Queen also in several West End shows. He freelanced for herself, following her 2012 Christmas speech to the many orchestras including The Scottish Opera, City country, a real honour. of London Sinfonietta and Symphony Orchestra. He toured Britain and Europe as a Soloist including a In recognition of his services to music and the way specially written solo performance at The Royal he has inspired people, Clarence was awarded the Albert Hall.

He has a brilliant sense of car from Newcastle to London as a surprise to my humour and his interest and zest for life is truly Stag Party. He had an accident which left him remarkable and you can’t help but have real paralysed from the shoulders down and was in admiration for him.

love of it enables him the escapism that he needs in order to live with this very difficult and challenging disability.

The reason I wanted to write this article is that Clarence was not entitled to an insurance payment following his tragic car accident; this was because he had lost the use of his limbs rather than losing his limbs which the small print in the insurance stipulated. Consequently, a Trust Fund was set up to enable him to purchase specialist equipment necessary to retain an active and independent life.

The running cost of Clarence’s care to enable him to teach and help other people with their music and their disabilities, over and above what Social Services contribute, is currently £70,000 per year.

Thanks to the generosity of friends, work colleagues and organisations, Clarence is able to live in a specially adapted house in Newcastle. He uses a mouth-controlled computer for his work and travels across the UK and Europe helping with the design of disabled access for new buildings and has been heavily involved with the design of The Sage Concert Hall in Gateshead.

Many people who have been touched by Clarence’s story, have organised various fundraising events and his Trust continues to encourage new initiatives.

Fundraising events have included concerts, parachute jumps, dinner dances, coffee mornings and a DVD with world renowned musicians.

On behalf of my brother, I’m asking for people to help Clarence as he is in desperate need of a newer specially adapted disability van which is essential for him to be able to travel around the country and carry on his work, his present van is 14 years old! The cost of this is estimated at £40,000 and I am asking you to please help in any way you can whether it is to organise a fundraising event or simply make a donation, so that my brother is able to have a reliable disabled van to take him around the country and carry on with the work that he so loves.

Baby Bump Beauty I

‘m sure I was not the only one raising a glass and shedding a tear at the news William and Kate are expecting a future heir to the throne.

Over the next few months all eyes are going be on the Duchess of Cambridge to see how she deals with her pregnancy. Will she go the glamour route of fashion-forward women such as Victoria Beckham, who wore sky-high Louboutins when heavily pregnant? Or will she adopt the time-honored uniform of pregnant royals: loose fitting Laura Ashley prints and elasticated waists all designed to divert attention from the bump - and make you look HUGE?!

These days, flounces and smocks are history. It is totally acceptable to wear a skin-tight dress at 9-months - even luxury brands have woken up to the fact that yes ... women do become pregnant! Yet Kate needs to walk a very fine line in order to look like a lady taking the role of a royal mum-to-be seriously, without taking maternity back to the bad old Victorian days of hide the bump.

actually growing more hair;you’re just losing it more slowly than normal. Generally around 80% of your hair is growing, with the remainder in a resting stage, which then naturally falls out - about 100 hairs a day.

During pregnancy, higher levels of oestrogen prolong the growth phase,resulting in thicker tresses.

After giving birth, your cycle goes back to its previous pattern,so you may notice more hair falling out.And the other hair raising fact is that your facial and body hair may also grow faster when you're pregnant, due to a boost in hormones called androgens. You can safely tweeze, wax or shave, but avoid chemicals which can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

And all this unwanted hair should be gone 3-6 months after giving birth.

However I have no doubt that Kate will breeze through her pregnancy in the only way she knows how:with superb style,poise and grace.

And being Craig the Hairdresser, I immediately think of the hair! Kate might find that her locks feel fuller– it’s something pregnant clients often comment on. Let me explain. You’re not 16

Another Chapter in Thorpe Hall School’s Progress

L

iteracy is at the heart of the curriculum at Thorpe Hall, with a number of innovative strategies to ensure pupils continue to enjoy reading as they progress through the Upper School.

When pupils join the Upper School in Year 7, it is essential that they are given a wealth of opportunities to continue enjoying books and discussing reading. And this year’s Year 7 pupils have responded enthusiastically to ‘book group’-style discussions about a range of exciting fiction titles.

The initiative grew from the school’s continued involvement with Booktrust, a national charity whose aim is to empower young people through reading and writing.

The school was delighted to receive a ‘School Library Pack’ of five thought-provoking fiction titles , each containing multiple copies and discussion questions.

Pupils who had read the same book independently discussed these in their groups and teachers were impressed with their mature and thoughtful response. ‘Pig Heart Boy’,

by Malorie Blackman, provokes challenging questions of morality when a boy who needs a transplant is offered a pig’s heart in a radical and controversial experiment. ‘Oranges in No Man’s Land’, by Elizabeth Laird, explores life in war-torn Beirut through the eyes of Ayesha,

20

T H O R P E B AY O R A C L E

the narrator and main character. Their discussions underlined the importance of reading in helping pupils make sense of the world around them.

The initiative was a new addition to a number of successful strategies already used throughout Years 7 to 9:

Bookboxes are mini form ‘libraries’ of 40 fiction titles from which pupils borrow books to read during tutorial time and at home.

Audioboxes - for use during English lessons, contain 50 audiobook packs comprising an mp3 player and the book itself in each pack.

Guided Reading – teacher-led groups of no more than 5 or 6 pupils regularly practise key reading skills.

And the very latest story is another successful one – the English Department will shortly receive 20 Kindle ebook readers following a generous donation from the PTA and an extra-special deal at Waitrose, Southend.

Money Matters

Investment Management – Making The Right Choice

S

uccessful investment is critical to your future financial well-being, but it is a field which presents a unique problem; future performance is unpredictable.

For whatever reason, there exists today an obsession with the short term and this manifests itself with investors buying the latest fashion, only then to be disappointed.

What really matters to investors is the longer-term performance of their investments, rather than the outcome for any particular year because short-term results are illusory and have little or nothing to do with the preservation of wealth over the medium to long term.

There are a number of ways to select an investment manager. Firstly, you can look at their past performance. Regrettably this in isolation is of little help - simply because the figures alone do not tell you whether the person who achieved that good result is still managing the assets. Furthermore, past performance figures should not be seen as an indication of future performance. In the investment industry it is commonplace for managers to move around and this has significant ramifications for investors because if they do find out that a star manager has left, they then have to decide what to do next.

22

T H O R P E B AY O R A C L E

Having selected a manager to look after your portfolio or indeed a number of investment professionals to manage your assets collectively, you then have the task of monitoring their performance. Most of us do not have the necessary resources or probably the interest to do this in a thorough, meaningful way on a daily basis - preferring instead to review our investments once or maybe twice a year.

The final, and often overlooked, aspect is the benefit of diversification, which is widely recognised as an effective way of reducing investment risk. Experience shows that too many investors are either not diversified or, in contrast, excessively diversified.

So as a first step you need to reassure yourself that those who are entrusted with the day-to-day management of your money have been handpicked, have a good long term track record and are being independently monitored by other investment professionals.

currently a very strong market for anything military, whether it be medals, weapons or memorabilia and a package of the whole group together with information about the original owner can make all the difference.

Under The Hammer

Dont miss your chance Lots of people used to have cabinets full of Doulton, Moorcroft, Clarice Cliff and so on but have relegated it all to boxes in order to de-clutter or after moving home. Whilst many of these things are less in fashion than they used to be they are still sought after in other parts of the world so are an asset that is easily cashed in via an auction. Many people think that by keeping them they may go back up in value but with changing taste they are probably not worth storing with that in mind so cash now is better than possible cash later.

Selling Potential A

New Year starts for most people with a New Year’s resolution. Get fit, quit smoking, clear out the attic or raise some cash from unwanted items. Well we can’t help with the first two but if you are heading in the direction of the third or fourth ideas then the chances are you might need some advice.

Unwanted collections, inherited junk, family treasures, all of these have the potential to net a few unexpected pounds in the pocket rather than on the waist. Sadly some people do think their geese are swans and expect more than the market will pay for things but many are pleasantly surprised or even shocked when what has remained hidden for years pays for a holiday.

These days there are alternatives to an auction in ebay, bootsales and so on but they come without advice, a lot more work and less chance of the right price at the end. For ebay the commission also works out higher so a local auction with a worldwide reputation and audience is pretty much un-beatable.

Memorabilia makes Money The current market is very fickle so many of the “family heirlooms” no longer carry any value at all but others are hidden gems just waiting for the world wide auction market. Jewellery is always a good start and usually nets a lot more in an auction than the basic scrap price paid by most local buyers. Following on from that there is

What is Hot Yoga?

H

ot Yoga is the hottest new fitness trend to sweep the country. It is, simply, classical Hatha Yoga postures performed in a heated studio.

The idea behind the heat is to simulate the climate of India. Bikram Choudhury was the first yoga teacher in the west to suggest heating the studio to reap the benefits of working more deeply once the body is warm.

The room temperature of Hot Yoga classes is about 42 degrees. By keeping the temperature this high, participants are sweating out toxins in their body.

Your muscles will be warm and you will stretch further due to more flexibility - and much more safely than in a regular yoga class.

Hot Yoga is dynamic, inspiring and challenging. It provides you with a full body workout from the inside out, engaging every cell, tissue, organ, muscle and ligament to improve both physical and mental strength. It balances stretching and flexibility while increasing heart rate to deliver a cardiovascular workout too. Graceful movements replace pounding flesh while increasing flexibility, suppleness and muscle tone.

Detoxification – Sweat and release the toxins in your body and benefit with visibly clearer skin. Sweating also stimulates your metabolism and immune system helping you to burn calories more efficiently and stay healthy.

Joint lubrication and flexibility – The heat produces a fluid-like stretch allowing for greater range of movement in joints, muscles, ligaments and other supporting structures of the body.

Mentally Stronger – Provides strengthening of willpower, self control and determination due to a challenging environment.

Stress Relief – Hot Yoga relieves stress and anxiety, promoting a calmer peaceful mind with improved sleep patterns.

Helps sporting and other injuries – Heat is healing so regular practice should alleviate stiffness and pain.

It is proven to help those with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and back pain.

The heat brings many benefits: Weight management – Burn 500 to 1,000 calories per class. By attending Hot Yoga classes, the heat will elevate your heart rate which improves the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). Combined with the asanas (postures) performed, it is common to lose centimetres of shape in a very short time.

Health & Beauty

What’s the best kind of aerobic exercise to shed the festive season flab?

I

t’s that time of the year when you may be thinking “I really ought to do some exercise to shift those party season pounds…”

Low- intensity, long duration aerobic exercise is not the best method for burning body fat.Whilst this approach may work for absolute beginners, I recommend that anyone with a basic level of fitness use interval training (cardio that involves alternating periods of high-level effort with periods of low-level recovery) for faster results.

Research shows that, whilst the body uses fat stores as a primary source of energy during steady work, high-intensity interval training burns more calories in the 48 hours following training as your metabolism becomes, and remains, elevated.

Instead of spending hours a day doing steadystate cardio, keep your sessions short (20-30 minutes) and always use interval training which can be performed using any kind of aerobic activity (i.e. running, rowing, swimming, cycling), so choose something you like.

There is some dispute over exactly when to perform high-intensity interval training for best results i.e. before breakfast, after weights, after breakfast on a day you are not weight-training. I suggest experimenting to find which time works best for you.

Personally, I prefer interval training first thing in the morning before breakfast and find it boosts my metabolism for the rest of the day and maximizes the fat-burning effect.

Remember, you choose your own levels to work at, so be honest with yourself. If it’s too easy - step it up; if it’s too hard – be sensible and drop it down. Your fitness level will improve over time.

I often get asked, what’s the best activity? My reply is: the one that you actually DO! So choose a cardio activity that you like the most (or hate the least) and give it your best effort. The only thing that can stop you from success is yourself.

More motivated individuals take note; the more complex the movement, the more muscle you use so you’ll see swifter improvement if you choose an activity like running or skipping rope than cycling on a stationary bike.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service.

‘Our product is simple.

If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Southend, Leigh on Sea and Thorpe Bay areas DQG &KULV LV ÀQGLQJ WKDW his approach is a major

factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for,

which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Academic Academy!

L

ast year we became an Academy following the academic success of the last seven years: from 33% GCSE 5A*-C in 2005 to 87% GCSE 5A*-C this year; from below average attendance to above the national average attendance and where year-on-year improvements in the Sixth Form have resulted in our being at national average for Year 13 and significantly above for Year 12. Do we now stand still? No, not at Shoeburyness High School and this year we have launched our Academy Plus Programme.

Academy Plus was launched on 15th November 2012 with our Year 7 students and their parents. The Academy Plus Programme is about extension and enrichment for all students, based solely on their interest not their particular ability in that area. It can also offer the opportunity for students of all ages to work together.

Academy Plus groups forstudents to choose from. They ranged from Astronomy and Space/Physics to Forest Schools and from Digital Art to Boat Building. All subjects offered an Academy Plus group that will take place after school. It was amazing to see the sheer enthusiasm generated for the additional learning,including the queues at Maths and Modern Foreign Languages.

No-one will forget our Year 7 pupils signing up for the Basketball Academy Plus with our Year 12 and 13 Basketball Academy students towering above them, most of whom top 6ft and one reaching 6’10� tall!

Shoeburyness High School has built its reputation on being unique and different, for being innovative and now highly successful. Academy Plus is here to widen students’ experiences, to deepen their

knowledge of subjects and develop a true love of learning that will not only support their learning in school but in their lives in years to come.
