Spectrum Framing & Gallery celebrates 10 years! “I can’t believe it’s been ten years since we left “corporate land” to take on this adventure”, says Tim, as Spectrum Framing and Gallery in Thirsk celebrate their ten year anniversary in September. With Jo, his wife and business partner, they have developed a thriving business over this period. “We now have hundreds of repeat customers, mainly local, but also from around the country. Thirsk is a wonderful place to work, with all the independent businesses working hard to serve both locals and visitors”. Says Jo; “we are continually developing our framing skills and techniques to meet the demands of our customers. Many people are now wanting something unique on their walls. It’s important, therefore, to offer innovative, sympathetic, imaginative and creative ideas when working with the customer to find the best solution for their artwork. There

is very little we can’t frame and there is great job satisfaction in presenting the final product to the customer”. “We also continue to work with and support local artists in exhibiting their work in our Gallery”, explains Tim. “We take great pleasure in watching their progress, some of whom now enjoy national recognition. The Gallery has evolved as people’s demands for artwork changes. It’s all about listening to the customer and responding, there has been an enormous shift in the type of artwork people are now buying compared to when we started”. “As Thirsk continues to grow, we are looking forward to grow with it”, says Jo. “The ever changing needs of customers keeps the job exciting and rewarding. Here’s to the next 10 years!”

Pain Removed...Permanently! A local therapist is getting powerful results with an unusual new psychological approach to removing old and unwanted pain. Suitable for those suffering with: • Arthritis • Back Pain/ Sciatica • Old injury/ fracture pain • Sports injury • Fibromyalgia/ ME/ CFS • Hay Fever & Allergy The methodology operates on the basis that pain is a message from the unconscious that is being transmitted from the brain, received by the area affected. It is meant to alert us to do something about it and keeps us safe. However, when a pain continues after this time, it serves no purpose and prevents us from knowing when new pain arrives that needs dealing with. The method is a little strange at first as it simply negotiates with the person’s unconscious to ‘switch off’ the old pain messages

instantly and permanently. People can be sceptical and not believe it, as long as they truly wish to turn off the pain. It is a one-off session, with no further treatments required. People only pay once the pain is gone or significantly reduced, a one-off fee of £150, so there is nothing to lose but the pain!

The Autumn Therapist Hello my name is Cherie Darley I am a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist. As Autumn is now upon us so are the jobs and activities of gardening, home painting and maintenance. These throw up the old problems of strained backs pulled muscles and joint pain. Harvesting time alone for Farmers is always a challenge and I have seen an increase in shoulder and lower back injuries lately. At Hambleton Remedial Massage Therapy I am able to examine and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions caused by injury, posture and lifestyle problems, as well as helping people live with long term conditions. I use a range of examination procedures to identify issues and then treat them accordingly. People with long term, chronic aches and pains have probably led stressful lives, resulting in long term problems they just tolerate. (I know that I did, sadly, for over ten years). I use a variety of massage techniques, mobilisations and specific treatments to help with a wide variety of problems. Having

A brief history of British curry! I’d always thought of curry as a recent introduction to Britain but bizarrely it all began with the Dutch in the 16th Century. They were world-leaders in the trading of pepper and because they had a monopoly they were able to sell it at an extortionate price. So Elizabeth I granted a Royal Charter to a small group of merchants allowing them to create a trading company which became known as the East India Company. Its initial purpose was to secure a better price for pepper than could be obtained from the Dutch. Actually the British had never been keen on trading with India, which was viewed rather arrogantly as simply a handy stopping-off port and a place to exchange goods like cotton and linen. But the Dutch made life very difficult for other traders so private armies, dedicated to the protection of European traders, were set up all along the coast of India. At the time India was ruled by Emperors and Mughals and there was a lot of in-fighting. The Europeans took full advantage of this and seized whole regions and territories for their own purposes. Eventually the Mughals yielded to the British and the East India Company profited, becoming extremely powerful and influential. The reign of the British Raj was a decadent period and this was expressed in their food. Indian chefs were trained to cater for a western palate and there was a tremendous
cross-over of cultures which resulted in a fusion-style cuisine. When the British returned to their home country they still craved the spicy Eastern flavours they’d left behind. It’s unsurprising therefore that the first published recipe for curry appeared in a 1747 book, The Art of Cookery. Initially it included just coriander seeds and pepper. Subsequent editions added ginger and turmeric. Even Mrs. Beeton included a curry recipe, which used all manner of spices, in her Book of Household Management. The first ‘curry house’ in Britain was opened by Dean Mahomet, who came from an eastern Indian middle class family. He chose London because of its cosmopolitan atmosphere, and The Hindostanee Coffee House opened on George Street at the turn of the 19th century. Curry houses became extremely popular but fell into decline during the two World Wars when people were preoccupied with survival and rationing. The fall of Hitler and Indian independence in 1947 led to more people from the sub-continent relocating to the UK and once again there was a surge in popularity for spicy cuisine. Curry is now firmly embedded into British culture. When you next bite into a poppadom give a thought for the history of the curry and impress your fellow diners with your knowledge. By Colin Tyler

Spacecraft to be deliberately crashed into Saturn Launched on 15th October 1997 Cassini’s final mission concludes dramatically on Friday 15th September when it is deliberately crashed into the planet of Saturn.
Illustration of Cassini spacecraft prior to one of its dives between the planet and its rings (NASA) By this date it will have completed the 22nd and final dive between the 1,500 mile (2,400km) wide gap between Saturn and its rings. Cassini’s Discoveries Since arriving at Saturn in 2004 Cassini has discovered water vapour geysers on the moon of Enceladus along with evidence of liquid oceans beneath its surface and hydrothermal vents that could culminate in providing evidence of life. In addition there is the possibility of the moons Rhea and Dione also containing water. A report from NASA informs that the most recent of Cassini’s discoveries has been the identification of a molecule in the thick atmosphere of Titan, the largest of Saturn’s moons. It is believed that this molecule is instrumental in producing complex organic molecules which may “have acted as the basis of the earliest forms of life on Earth”. This leads to the hypothesis that Titan’s atmosphere may resemble that of Earth’s early atmosphere. Scientists are now asking the question “Can some exotic type of life begin and evolve in a truly alien environment, that of liquid methane?” Why does Cassini have to be destroyed? The answer is relatively simple, Cassini utilises 33 kilograms of radioactive plutonium to provide the power to drive the radio isotopic generators. Only 1% of its power source is now avail-

able. Should Cassini be left to orbit without its own power source there is the danger of it being drawn in by the gravitational energy of one of the other moons. Should this happen the moon that it hits will be permanently polluted extinguishing further research. It is believed that with a good amateur telescope the destruction of Cassini will be viewable from Earth. However; the event will be well publicised and shown on the relevant national news programs plus newspapers and astronomy magazines.

Diary
Autumnal Equinox - Friday 22nd September, 21.02 hours (British Summer Time). The moment when the Sun crosses the equator on its way south. Sunday 29th October - clocks go back one hour. The Planets Mercury, Venus and Mars These 3 planets can be seen each morning dancing for position at around 06.00 hours. To observe look East and low in the sky as the following images show. Their positions with each other will slowly change over the 2 month period, but please note that Mercury can be difficult to observe and will not be visible during October. Venus is predominantly bright and difficult to miss, thus it is often referred to as the Morning Star. Jupiter: Can be observed slowly disappearing within in one hour of sunset, so by the end of September Jupiter will no longer be in view. Saturn: During September Saturn will set around 22.30 hours and during October will be the only prominent planet in the evening sky setting around 21.30 hours by the end of the month. John Harris

A Good Read The First Phone Call from Heaven n Mitch Alom
chronic back pain is increasing across the population due to our sedentary lifestyle both at work and during our leisure hours. Around 4.2 million working days are lost to back pain by
All the calls have one thing in common: the callers are deceased and want to tell their loved ones about heaven; to tell them that death is not the end. The town becomes a place of pilgrimage for people who are desperate to hear from their own friends and family. Of course, some are sceptical. Single father Sully – still grieving for his wife – is concerned when his young son starts asking why his mum hasn’t phoned him. So he sets out to unearth the true source of the phone calls. This touching novel is beautifully written and builds to a page turning climax. Will Sully find out where the calls are coming from? Or are they really coming from heaven? Ultimately, the novel isn’t about where they came from. In fact it doesn’t really matter. Alom draws on our natural fear, not of our own deaths but of losing a loved one. What he offers is a story of a group of people who draw hope and comfort from these seemingly miraculous events. And that is the inspiring message from this book. Maybe heaven exists, and maybe it doesn’t, but whether you believe or not, you can still take something from this thought provoking novel.

The exercises should strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, and also the abdominal and oblique muscles that encircle the trunk like a corset. Those of us stuck at desks for most of our working day can try these exercises whenever we have a few minutes spare. Try 10-15 repetitions and hold each position for a count of 15. 1.

Could private tuition benefit your child? Barely a day goes by without schools making the news in one way or another.
Tom’s Midnight Garden n Phillippa Pearce When you are born you occupy a small slot within history and for that period of time you live your life in your own way. But how much thought do you give to those people who came before you? Your house or your school now may have been someone else’s house or school; a place where someone else grew up and had hopes for the future. Tom is getting ready to enjoy his summer holiday when his older brother comes down with measles. To ensure that he doesn’t catch it, Tom is sent to stay with an aunt and uncle who live in a small flat at the top of a large old house. This is not how he imagined spending the summer. One night he is lying in bed, unable to sleep, when he hears the old grandfather clock in the house chiming. He counts the chimes. 9 … 10 … 11 … 12 … 13. And so the most amazing and magical summer of Tom’s life begins as he meets Hatty, a young girl who wears strange clothes. This 1958 novel is a children’s classic and is frequently rated as one of the best children’s novels published since the war. It is inspiring with its message that life is to be lived to the full and reminds children that even their grandparents were young once.

Back to Back
Recent headlines have screamed: British Children bottom of the European League Table...and Crisis in the Classroom. Is it any wonder that as parents we have never been more concerned about our children’s schooling? Many of us are so concerned that we are employing private tutors to help our children achieve their goals. How do I know whether my child might benefit from private tuition? Is your child struggling with course work? Are they stressed about certain lessons? Do they avoid certain subjects during homework sessions?
Please mention InFocus when contacting any of our advertisers
Does your child find course material too simple? Do they complain of boredom and does the teacher accuse them of being disruptive or a daydreamer? Do you feel that your child is neglected by the system because they are neither special needs, nor especially gifted? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then your child might benefit from private tuition. What do I look for? It sounds obvious but you really need someone who can teach! Being specialised in a subject area is great but teaching skills are everything. A tutor should be able to relate to a child and explain things at his level.
2. Stand about 30cm from a wall and place hands against the surface at shoulder height. Bend elbows to support upper body and, using abdominal strength, lift heels while keeping the back straight. 3. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, about half a metre from a wall. Face the wall and lean against it using hands, the back should be straight. Reach up with right arm and simultaneously lift left leg backwards and upwards. Repeat on the opposite side. By Louise Addison
Once or twice a week for two or three months is a good starting point. After this time you should have a good idea how much tutoring is helping your child. What questions should I ask? Check professional references and qualifications. Ask to see a copy of their CRB (criminal Records Bureau) check Ask about any career gaps on their CV The right tutor can boost results but more importantly they can also boost a child’s confidence and self esteem.

Wet Weather Advice This time of year often brings with it some wet and windy weather. This can mean pets are spending more time indoors. Try your best to keep your dog walk routine as much as you can, even when it’s wet. If your pets are staying indoors a bit more make sure they have lots of thing to keep them mentally active. Daily dog walks and inquisitive cats in the garden aren’t just getting the exercise they need. Mental stimulation is vital to prevent pets from getting bored and frustrated and resorting to behaving in ways we would rather they didn’t! Hide your cat’s food in scrunched balls of edible paper and hide around the house so that they are encouraged to ‘hunt’ for it. Make sure their litter trays are changed as needed and remember the more cats the more litter trays you will need. Encourage the whole family to take time out for play. Not only is this huge fun for all
involved but it can really increase the bond between pets and their owners.
Protect your pet from firework fears With autumn nights soon drawing in we often talk to pet owners whose cats or dogs are terrified of the flashes and bangs fireworks celebrations bring. If your pet gets worried around this time of year check our advice at www.bluecross. org.uk or pop into the centre for a free leaflet. If you would like to find out more about Blue Cross in Thirsk, have an hour or two to volunteer at the centre or would like to make a donation to the charity’s work please contact the centre on 0300 777 1540, email thirsk@bluecross. org.uk, or join us on Facebook.

Driver Survivor Most people spend many hours in their car each week, but none of us expects to have to live in it! But in the face of a major incident or in the event of a breakdown or bad weather, you could be forced to rely on your car for short term shelter and survival. With a properly equipped car emergency kit, you could survive in your vehicle for days if necessary. If you get into trouble and you are in your car, studies have shown that you are most likely to survive if you stay with your vehicle rather than venture out looking for help. But if you do decide to leave your vehicle only do so if it’s safe to do so, the weather clears and you have proper protective clothing. In addition, make sure the vehicle is parked well off the road and leave a note indicating what has happened, where you have gone, and your health situation.

ready mixed or concentrated screen wash, which you’ll need to mix with water.
Check your car battery
Check antifreeze
When winter arrives it’s important to know that your car is capable of dealing with the inclement weather, so we’ve produced a vital winter car checklist to ensure you don’t get caught out.
Cold and damp weather is a battery killer. There’s little worse than the mechanical groan when you turn the key caused by a dying car battery. If your battery is struggling to start your car, the chances are it’s on its way out.
Antifreeze, as its name suggests, stops the water in the engine’s cooling system from freezing. To test the effectiveness of your antifreeze, you’ll need an antifreeze tester, which cost about £5. To use it, unscrew the coolant reservoir cap under the bonnet, after checking the engine is cold.
Screen wash has a lower freezing temperature than water alone, meaning you shouldn’t end up with frozen washer jets.
Breakdowns more than double during the winter months, as snow, ice, wind and rain cause havoc with driving conditions. However, a few simple winter checks can ensure both you and your car are prepared for what’s to come. From quick winter car checks, such as testing washer fluid levels and ensuring your exterior lights are working, to the fitting of winter tyres, we have it all covered. Below you’ll find a list of checks and recommended purchases to help you and your car enjoy a troublefree winter on the road. It’s important to keep your car well maintained throughout the year, but this becomes even more vital during the winter months. The good news is that winter car checks

You can test the battery yourself if you have the correct equipment, but it’s far easier to ask a specialist. Assuming you can start the car, you can drive to your local main dealer or car spares shop to buy a new one. Most car battery stockists will even fit it for you. Car battery prices vary, and can cost from around £60 fitted, although models fitted with stop-start systems can cost more than £100, depending on the size, type and the electrical current produced. There are dozens of combinations, so make sure you get the correct one. If you can’t start your car, you can use a set of jump leads, or remove the battery and charge it indoors. This can be complex, not least
Lower the tube into the coolant and squeeze the rubber bulb on the end to suck some antifreeze inside the tester. You can then read the freezing point of the antifreeze using the scale inside the tester. Replace the antifreeze in the car’s system and replace the cap.
Check screen wash
Wintery weather is frequently wet, meaning you’ll spend lots of time using your windscreen wipers. There’s a high risk of them smearing grime across the windscreen if your screen wash bottle is empty. To ensure this doesn’t happen to you, open the windscreen washer bottle under the bonnet, and fill it with screen wash. You can buy
Please mention InFocus when contacting any of our advertisers
Check exterior lights
It sounds simple, and it is. The days are shorter and the weather is worse during the winter months, making maintenance of your exterior lights an important aspect of any winter car checklist. Check and clean your lights regularly. The salt and dirt can quickly build-up, reducing visibility at night as well as during periods of snow, fog and rain. Carry extra bulbs in case of a failure.
Professional winter car checks
If you’ve not got the time to prepare your car for winter, then you can ask an expert to do it for you. Many main dealers and high street car spares shops can do this, and shouldn’t cost more than a few pounds. Some even offer free winter car checks.

Darlington Hippodrome taking shape
The past year has simply flown by. Following the final ever performance at Darlington Civic Theatre at the end of May 2016 the construction teams have transformed the site creating a corner plot that will, in just a matter of months, become the eagerly awaited Darlington Hippodrome. As can be clearly seen in the aerial photograph, the footprint of the theatre has almost doubled in size with the addition of the new-build section on the site where two restaurants used to stand. This new section will house a foyer cafĂŠ bar and open plan box office area on the ground floor with administration offices and dressing rooms on the two floors above. This modern section of the project will be joined to the Edwardian theatre by a three-storey glass atrium which will

flood the public circulation areas of the building with natural light and create a stunning main entrance to the new venue. Three gallery areas (one on each floor) will present visitors with plenty of room to relax and enjoy pre-show refreshments as well as offering a regular series of exhibitions and displays. The original exterior wall of the theatre has been left exposed creating a beautiful architectural feature beside the main staircase leading up to the dress circle and upper circle areas of the theatre while the addition of lifts will ensure these areas are accessible to all. The beautiful auditorium has been completely restored back to its original Edwardian splendour, including its colour scheme, while all-new seat designs will ensure a more comfortable experience for audiences.

North Yorkshire retail unit scoops prestigious architectural award A new retail unit in Northallerton has won an award for its architectural excellence. Marks and Spencers Foodhall, which was designed by GT3 Architects for Jomast Developments, has won a regional Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) award celebrating the best architecture in the UK and around the world. The store, which sits on the site of the former Rutson Hospital close to the town centre, was built to provide a more substantial Foodhall in the historic market town. Blending both old and new, the unit draws its inspiration from the existing urban grain of Northallerton while incorporating a contemporary twist. “This project clearly reflects the added value of thoughtful detailing and how well-designed spaces can have a lasting impact in enhancing the wellbeing of all users and create sustainable towns and places” said Simon Dunstan, Director at GT3 Architects. “The building is a testament to the commitment
of a dedicated client, a visionary design team and an engaged local authority. The development makes a positive contribution to the High Street and perhaps more significantly makes a contribution to the legacy of the architectural heritage of Northallerton” he added. The new store opened in October 2016, following a period of planning between Jomast Developments, GT3 and Hambleton District Council to ensure the landscape was retained, conserved and enhanced. Speaking about the project, Hambleton District Councillor David Webster, Cabinet Member for Planning, said “This building demonstrates the high quality of design and use of materials that the Council aims to encourage in such locations. A particular feature here is how well the building respects and fits into the historic plot pattern of Northallerton.” For 50 years the RIBA awards have championed and celebrated the best architecture in the UK and around the world, regardless of form, size or budget.
in Northallerton has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects” added Adam Hearld, Development Direct at Jomast Developments. “The project has had a significant impact on not only the aesthetics of the local landscape but also the residents of the town who now have access to the larger, dedicated Foodhall. The unit has significantly improved retail provision in the area as well as creating a number of employment opportunities”. This project is one of a number of retail developments which Jomast Developments has undertaken in the past 12 months, collectively worth over £20 million. RIBA Yorkshire Award winners will also be considered for a highly-coveted RIBA National Award, which will take place later this month.
