A beginners guide to running
f you’re tired of paying out for gym memberships but never having the energy or willpower to go, or you can’t be bothered to do your old workout DVD yet again, then there is another option open to you. What’s more, it doesn’t cost a penny. Say the word “running” to most people and you’ll probably see a look of horror sweep across their face, followed by a comment protesting their complete inability to run even the shortest distance. But remember, you won’t be doing a marathon on day one. The key to becoming a runner is taking a gradual step-by-step approach. Once mastered, the ability to jog is a great asset and allows you to effectively exercise any place you may be. When done correctly it increases the density of your bones and can significantly improve your health and fitness. However, getting past the initial mental barrier of starting to run is arguably the most difficult part of the sport. The key is to start off gently, then progress gradually and before you know it you’ll be running 10k without thinking. To help you get started here is a simple guide aimed at complete beginners. So what are you waiting for? Get those running shoes on and give it a go. Step One: You have to walk before you can run. Let’s be honest, if you can’t walk a circuit of your local park without getting seriously out of breath you’re not going to be able to run round it. So to get your fitness levels up, start walking for an amount of time that feels comfortable – anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
6
Step Two: Once you can walk for 30 minutes easily, sprinkle one to two-minute running intervals into your walking. As time goes on, make the running intervals longer and the time you spend walking shorter, until you are running for 30 minutes straight. Step Three: The first goal is to set out a maximum time period or distance to cover. This should be something you can realistically perform a few times a week – maybe in your lunch hour, before or after work. Then build toward achieving that. Step Four: There is no need to run with pain. Instead, back off from the training and examine what is going wrong. Remember when jogging that the rate or perceived exertion should not go past 15 out of 20 – 5/20 is easy, 10/20 is comfortable, 15/20 is hard and 20/20 is collapse. Step Five: In the beginning try to aim for at least a couple of sessions a week and build up to three or four times as you feel more comfortable. These goals should be fairly attainable depending on your current fitness. The key is to let your body dictate your progress. After a few weeks you should have an idea if this is the sport for you. If so, then invest in a pair of good running shoes, as these will help soften the impact on your joints and support your ankles. There are countless magazines and running websites that will be able to offer you advice on which shoes to buy. The key to becoming a good runner is to listen to your body. Joggers are among the most stubborn of all sportsmen for ignoring aches and pains and causing more significant damage as a result.

Motoring

Is the future car crash free?
f there’s one place where technology seems to be moving faster and faster it’s in the world of motoring – as evidenced at the Intelligent Transport Systems Congress in Stockholm this year. The congress sees around 2,500 delegates from around the world gather to discuss high-tech transport systems and how they should be integrated in to daily life. Not a thrilling subject for the average joe but prick up your ears; this is the event at which a totally car crash free future has been unveiled. In the UK where nearly 250,000 injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to fatalities the promise of a world in which driving is perfectly safe can only be looked forward to eagerly. But just how do the boffins at Stockholm intend to achieve such an incredible feat? And is it really a possibility? A German company is reportedly working as we speak on new technology which will make human error a thing of the past. Ibeo’s invention, already being touted around several major car brands, will allow manufacturers to construct cars which are wholly able to drive themselves. Based on laser sensors the product has already been tested in a 60 mile trial in the US without a driver. Meanwhile another product closer to being launched is Safespot. Showcased in Stockholm this incredible product has the capability to send messages to other cars in the area meaning that should a driver find himself in a sticky situation others would be immediately warned and thus able to avoid danger. Already coming under fire from those concerned about living in a so called ‘Big Brother Nation’ is the proposed introduction of road pricing. The scheme, which has been ruled out by the UK for
8 88
at least the next five years but is already on its way to fruition in Holland, will ask drivers to essentially pay-per-drive, potentially using an in-car touch screen device, one of which was shown at the ITS Congress. However while road pricing may be anathema to many no one could argue with the other features which are found on the system which should retail at around £300 but may be fitted ‘as standard’ in some cars. As well as giving useful information to drivers about the next train running from the city they’re heading for or even the nearest available parking space, motorists would be warned when they neared a special area such as the Greater London Low Emission Zone, assisting in avoiding both fines and the stresses of every day driving. But that’s not all. When it comes to safety the same box can detect other nearby cars which could endanger the driver, warning them of, for example, a car approaching on the wrong side of the road. Self driving cars and knowing what’s around every corner may sound the death knell for driving for fun and will no doubt rile the Jeremy Clarksons of this world but nobody could argue that the possibility of safer roads is something that we can all look forward to.

Vegetable Saucer Pies Nutritious and economical, and they taste divine Makes six little pies which can be frozen before baking and taken straight from the freezer to the oven. Preparation time: 75 min Cooking time: 40 min Ingredients Filling 60g / 2oz butter 225g / 8oz leeks - trimmed, thinly sliced and washed 225g / 8oz carrots - peeled and finely diced 1 small head of broccoli, broken into tiny florets 115g / 4oz mushrooms, sliced 60g / 2oz frozen peas 60g / 2oz walnut pieces 60g / 2oz plain flour 1 level tsp ground coriander 150ml 1/4 pint single cream 150ml 1/4 pint milk 4 tbsp chopped fresh dill Salt and freshly ground black pepper Pastry 450g / 1lb plain flour 225g / 8 oz butter 115g / 4oz mature cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 level tsp English mustard powder 1/4 level tsp salt 175ml / 6fl oz milk 1 medium egg, beaten Method Filling Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the leeks and carrots and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, mushrooms and peas and cook for a further five minutes. Add the walnuts.
10
Stir in the flours and coriander and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Gradually add the cream and the milk and cook over a moderate heat for five minutes until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from the heat, stir in the dill, season well and leave to cool. Pastry Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter. Stir in 85g / 3oz of the cheese and all the mustard powder and the salt. Add enough milk to make a soft, but not sticky, dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Lightly grease six oven-proof saucers, about 15cm / 6 inches in diameter. Cut the dough in half. Roll out one half thinly, and using the saucers as a guide, cut out six rounds, each a little larger than the saucer. Line the saucers with the rounds and divide the filling equally between them. Roll out the remaining dough and, using a saucer as a guide again, cut out six more rounds. Brush the edges of the saucer dough with cold water and cover with the lids, then press the edges together well. Make a small hole in the centre of each pie and chill the pies for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C / Gas mark 6. Put the saucers containing the pies on two baking sheets, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes then turn the tray and bake for a further ten minutes until golden brown.

Be a Quitter!
ach New Year countless people plan to stop smoking and discover just how difficult it is. Smoking is not just a habit but a full-blown addiction and quitting may require outside help. To give up smoking requires dedication and a plan. Your chances of success are increased if you employ all the extra resources you can. Some people can stop smoking instantly, but most need help in the form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). The NRT you choose depends on your lifestyle, habits and the extent of your addiction, so seek advice from your GP or pharmacist. There are also new prescription medicines available to help you quit. The NHS runs nationwide Stop Smoking Services and their website http:// smokefree.nhs.uk is particularly useful to help you on your way to a smoke-free life. Enter your postcode to find the nearest service to you. Also included on the site are applications (apps) for download onto your computer, iPod or iPhone, to help keep track of your success. Alternative therapies provide excellent support in a quest for a non-smoking life. They include hypnotherapy, acupuncture and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Yoga and meditation are also recommended as a way of increasing mental stamina, to help cope with the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Tell friends and family that you are quitting - their support is vital. You are far more likely to quit for good if you have your very own team of supporters cheering you on.
Many people are put off giving up smoking for fear of gaining weight. Exsmokers can miss the comfort of having something in their mouth and often turn to sweets, which can cause the pounds to pile on. This need for oral comfort can be alleviated by CBT, hypnotherapy or sugar-free gum. Take it one day at a time and consider each day you don’t smoke as a major achievement. My friend had a novel way of successfully stopping: she emptied the contents of her last ashtray into a plastic bag and each time she wanted to light up, she took the bag out and sniffed it. It worked for her! Find a method that works for you. Don’t give up hope if you relapse. Most people who permanently quit smoking have made the attempt several times. If at first you don’t succeed, try - again and again. It can take a while, but if you’re committed to quitting, you can do it. Just keep trying and remain positive. As well as the many well-publicised health benefits you’ll gain from giving up smoking, the amount of money you’ll save is astounding. Many smokers spend over £2000 a year on cigarettes, think of the holiday you could take! Whatever your personal reasons for wanting to quit, there’s a wealth of help and support out there to help you. So make 2011 the year you become a quitter. Suki North
Be prepared for the withdrawal symptoms but understand that they will disappear after about two weeks.

A Good Read You Choose – Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt This is a picture book in the very best sense of the word, one in which the illustrations take centre stage and provide the talking point - and talking is what’s needed here. Far from being a traditional bedtime story, Goodhart and Sharratt’s collaboration is a stimulus for a bedtime (or anytime) chat! The premise is simple – on each page, the reader is invited to choose what they would do. Text is kept to a minimum, allowing Sharratt’s lively drawings to take up as much of your attention as possible. You
14
start by choosing where you would go and the accompanying picture offers jungles, seas, forests, mountains, towns, cities, castles, cliffs and even a funfair, all in one landscape. As you read on, you are invited to select friends, food, clothes, jobs, pets and eventually, a bed to sleep off all the excitement. Children love this book because of the endless possibilities, one day you might be a firefighter in a pink tutu, the next an acrobat who lives in a lighthouse and wears dinosaur slippers. Even the very young can join in by choosing a picture for each page. Grown ups can play it as straight or as silly as they like, much to younger readers’ delight - and why not? I bet by the end you will be giving serious thought to which bed you’d like to have, but not the four-poster please - that one’s mine!

Gardening

Pruning: a gardening job that’s a cut above
ne job which lots of gardeners are reluctant to tackle is pruning. They are afraid that if they make a mess of it they will spoil, or worse still, kill the plant. But pruning is essential to the health and wellbeing of landscape plants. Any overgrown or struggling plant will benefit from a bit of cutting back and even a healthy plant benefits from a trim occasionally. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a tree or a shrub, a bush, flowers or your vegetable plants. They all benefit by pruning and trimming. Pruning makes your plant look better and feel better too. It allows the plants support system to send vital energy and nutrients to a smaller area and to prompt newer, more vigorous growth. The result will be a lusher, healthier and better-looking plant. Pruning is used to do the following: remove dead, weak, or unsightly branches; reinvigorate plant growth so that new leaves and branches grow faster; reshape the plant into a more desirable shape; produce a denser, bushier appearance; thin out growth, providing more air circulation and light; limit plant size. Autumn and winter are the best time to prune, as most species are dormant then. If you don’t prune them when they need it, some plants will get very ugly. Pruning a plant badly is not likely to ruin it forever. It’s a bit like a bad haircut, it may not look too good right now, but it will grow out. Rose pruning probably causes the most panic for most people. Begin by cutting out all the dead wood. Then open out the centre of the plant, removing any tangled or branches that cross over. This allows air to circulate, thus reducing bug and disease problems. You should reduce the remaining stems by at least one third. Using a pair
22
of good quality, sharp secateurs, make a clean cut on an outward facing bud located between the leaf axle and the stem of the plant. Next remove the suckers which grow below ground from the original base rose that your variety has been grafted on to. Pull these suckers off rather than cutting them. If you don’t bother to do this, your rose will revert and become a little wild. Finally rake up and remove any old leaves to prevent the spread of diseases. If you have trees which need pruning and you think the job is too big to tackle yourself, the best thing to do is call in a tree surgeon. If nothing else, this expert can give you advice on how to go about your project and whether or not the tree is actually worth saving. For example, many flowering cherries have a finite life of about 25 to 30 years. After that they succumb to disease and the only solution is to dig up the tree and plant another one, replacing a large part of the surrounding soil at the same time. Before you start pruning make sure you have the correct equipment, as a bog standard pair of kitchen scissors just won’t cut it for this garden task. The following guide should give an idea. Hand pruners: commonly called pruners, these tools resemble a pair of pliers and come in three main types. An anvil pruner features a single, straightedged cutting blade that closes against an anvil of softer metal. A ratchet pruner also has a straight cutting edge but it has a ratchet mechanism that cuts through the branch in stages. Bypass pruners, the most popular type, cut with two curved blades that bypass each other in the manner of scissor blades.

Speak English Reasons why the English language is hard to learn: The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. I did not object to the object. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. They were too close to the door to close it. The buck does funny things when the does are present. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. After a number of injections, my jaw got number. Upon seeing the tear in the painting, I shed a tear. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend.

Lifestyle & Leisure Make Do & Mend
I
t can’t have escaped your notice that Britain is in a time of austerity. On TV, on the radio and in every newspaper the talk is all about cuts, budget deficits and us all ‘being in this together’. Whether or not we really are all in this together is up for debate, but setting aside the political rights and wrongs of our current precarious financial situation, I wondered whether we could learn anything from our Grandparents or Great-Grandparents. Perhaps the time is right to re-examine how they coped with the austerity years during and just after the Second World War. In the 1940s everyone had to take responsibility for economising, saving and salvaging - or recycling as it is known today. It bound people together as they found ways to cope. Ooer...this sounds rather like ‘The Big Society’ idea of today’s coalition! There was a lot of Government propaganda then too. Perhaps we’ll soon see leaflets similar to those issued during the 1940s, urging us to make-do and mend; offering hints about washing, re-using and patching; maybe we’ll even see one urging us to be creative with potatoes...perhaps adorned with a photo of Jamie Oliver pointing outwards and with the strap line Your Country Needs You. Seriously though, we all need to think hard about how we’ll get through the next four years of cuts. I browsed through the list of evening classes at our local college recently. There were dress-
24
making classes, basic cookery courses, engine maintenance and one enigmatically entitled ‘up-cycling: make do and mend for modern times’. Perhaps these classes would be a good place to start for those of us looking to do our bit while we save a bit! According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, there has been an increase in sales of brisket and fish paste! Other staples such as custard powder and corned beef are also enjoying an upsurge in popularity. It seems we’re forgoing those expensive deli sandwiches in favour of a packed lunch, before we return home to tuck into a cheap and cheerful casserole followed by pud and custard. Certainly cheaper cuts of meat are more popular at the moment as households try to manage on less income. More of us are hitting the markets in search of bargains too. Veg boxes from local greengrocers are better value than prepacked supermarket produce. Charity shops and dress agencies may be the beneficiaries of our new state of penury as we rummage through the rails in search of bargains. We’ve had geek chic, now it’s the turn of ration fashion. Remember, you heard it here first folks. So perhaps the news isn’t all bad. We’re a creative and resourceful lot us Brits and few other people are better in a crisis. Like the shrub pruned back for the winter, we may even come back stronger and more beautiful than before.

Community Information Teenage Cancer Trust eachers and students from South Nottingham College have created a charity calendar for 2011, to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.
The initiative is part of the College’s Channeling Positivity campaign, launched at the beginning of the academic year and spearheaded by a College teacher and student duo Justine Drury and Kate Vines, who will attempt to swim the Channel in 2011. Called ‘The Big Name Drop’, the calendar uses photography and imagery of the letters ‘TCT’, which stands for Teenage Cancer Trust. The images have been created in different ways that are relevant to courses run at the College, such as Beauty Therapy and Mechanics, as well as images that Kate and Justine have created as part of their training programme.
students and staff could easily contribute. We certainly had a lot of fun with the different representations of the letters TCT – it really brought out everyone’s creative streak. But more importantly, as the calendar will last a year, we hope it will be a constant reminder of the great work that the Teenage Cancer Trust does, as well as raising funds for their East Midlands campaign.” The calendar will be on sale from 5 January 2011 at a suggested minimum donation of £2.50. To order a copy email enquiries@snc.ac.uk
SNC Marketing Manager Chris Stephenson said: “We thought the calendar was a great idea as it was something to which both
YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!!! The EDWINSTOWE and DUKERIES LIONS CLUB would like to say A VERY BIG THANKYOU to all the locals who donated money in these difficult times to the LIONS 2010 DECEMBER CHRISTMAS SLEIGH RUN. We had one day at TESCOS in Ollerton, another two days at TESCOS in Mansfield, and one day at Ollerton NETTO. We also tried our very best to drag the sleigh around some of the local streets, but due to the awful weather only managed Bilsthorpe, and a few days in Ollerton and Edwinstowe. This was a massive loss to the Lions, as we rely very heavily on a successful December, as the monies raised is given throughout the year to lots of local people, organizations and charities.
some interesting ideas how we can raise some extra cash give us a call, even better come to one of our meetings and maybe get involved with our hardworking band of Lions. We all live locally, have great fun whilst doing good work for the community, as a bonus we have grown great friends that socialize regularly, individuals or couples are welcome. If this appeals, then why not ring JON YARWOOD on 01623 411136, it could be the most rewarding call you make. The EDWINSTOWE AND DUKERIES LIONS CLUB WISH EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Having said all that we raised a very creditable £ 2700.00 So once again a great big THANKYOU to all those who dug so deep to contribute. SO we need a PLAN B anyone who has
