Top Ten Tips for Responsible Pet Ownership 1. Think carefully before getting a pet and learn about its special requirements. 2. Ensure your pet is sociable and well trained. 3. Always provide a nutritious and well balanced diet. 4. Provide suitable housing & bedding. 5. Clean up after your pet and worm it regularly. 6. Protect against disease. Your vet can provide you with advice. 7. Prevent unwanted litters and neuter your pet when appropriate. 8. Groom your pet regularly. 9. Control your pet and ensure it is properly identified. 10. Take out pet insurance for dogs, cats, rabbits and horses to cover against unexpected veterinary fees and third party liability.

It’s All About You

MOTIVATIONAL ADVICE FROM AWARD-WINNING BUSINESS COACH PAM FEATHERSTONE

SMALL STEPS MAKE HUGE DIFFERENCES If you grabbed a sheet of paper right now, you could probably list at least 20 things you know you should have done, but haven’t. But the question to ask yourself is “Why haven’t you?”

It’s very easy to get caught up in life and not get around to doing the things you most want. You might say it’s because you simply don’t have enough time – but don’t we always make time for the things we really want to do? What is it that’s really getting in the way? Do you want to lose weight? Get fitter? Spend more time with your family? Do you want to be rich, successful, famous? Whatever your goal, you have to have a plan to achieve it. It doesn’t matter how enthusiastic about it you are, how many books you’ve read on the subject or how often you’ve googled it, if you don’t have a vision of where you want to get to and an insight into how you are going to get there, you will eventually lose momentum. That’s why you need to understand that a simple, small change is all it takes to get you started. If you want to lose weight and get fitter, make a pact with yourself to stop

To Contact

snacking between meals and to take the stairs at the office or the shopping centre, You could get off the bus a stop earlier or just walk around the block 3 times a week. If you want to spend quality time with your family, build in a weekly activity to your diary – it might be a weekend bike ride, going to the cinema or making time for a proper Sunday dinner so you can all chat around the table. But if you continue to do the same thing day in, day out, then you can’t expect your life to improve. It’s about taking action. So go on. Choose one of things on your list. Commit yourself to making a small change in your life or business. Write it down, track how well you’re doing it every week and reward yourself when you’ve achieved it. Create new behaviours and habits that will move you toward success. Good luck! To contact Pam please call her on 01482 227060 or 07540 888016. Alternatively, you can email her at pam@coachpam.co.uk

The Benefits of Enjoying a Warm Relaxing Bath Do you take many baths? If not then now may be the time to start thinking about how a bath can improve your life. In order to make the most of the experience there are a few things that you can do. How to Enjoy Your Bath The first thing that you should do before taking a bath is to make sure that the environment is relaxing and easy on the eye. You may not have the money or the time to re-decorate the room, but there are still things that you can do to instantly make the room more relaxing. Start by clearing out any clutter and ensure that there will be no distractions. One thing that many women don’t get right when they take a bath is it’s temperature. There’s a tendency to have hot baths rather than warm ones. The problem with this is that hot water can actually stimulate you, rather than help you to relax. So try making your bath a little cooler if you usually tend to have a hot one instead. Add bath salts or bubble bath to create a nice scent. Also light candles or listen to soothing music. This enhances the experience and really helps you to relax. If you take at least one bath per week it will help to lower your stress levels, give you a little ‘Me’ time and it will help you to sleep better too.

Understanding Credit

Do you know what your credit score is? You may not have checked your credit score lately, but there’s a good chance someone else has. Whether you’re arranging a mortgage on your next home or buying that new sofa on interest free credit, someone has accessed that magic three-digit number that determines if and how much you can borrow. A credit score is more than just a number in the eyes of a prospective lender. It’s a measure of a person’s financial reputation and the determining factor on whether they will lend and what they will charge. A credit score answers this question for the lender: What is the likelihood that this person will pay his or her bills on time? A high score means a person is likely to pay bills on time; the lower the score, the more likely a person is to miss payments.

l l

A card at it’s limit is worse than two that are at half the limit. 15% of a score considers account age; Older accounts are better than younger accounts. The type and mix of credit makes up 10% of a score. The healthier the mix of credit, the better the score. The number of enquiries from creditors into a person’s score also constitutes ten percent and multiple credit searches can damage your score.

Improving your score: l l l

Make sure all your debts are registered to your correct name and current address to avoid missing important correspondence from the lender. Ensure there are no mistakes on your credit file. Tackle the credit provider to resolve these quickly if there are. Register on the electoral roll, so that your history can easily be tracked.

Protecting your score:

We’d like to think that it’s a human being accessing our credit score, deciding our borrowing capacity and creditworthiness, but in reality the majority of decisions are made by computers! So to avoid the misery of “the computer say’s no”, understanding, protecting and improving your credit score has never been more important. Here are some tips to help you do just that. Understanding your score: l l

The majority of a person’s credit score - 35% is determined by whether they pay their bills on time; missed payments can be very detrimental. Outstanding balances are next, making up 30% of the score. The lower the balance-to-limit ratio, the better the score, so don’t max out on your credit cards;

l Avoid making too many applications for credit in a short period. Watch out for companies that credit score you unexpectedly. Opening a new bank account or even taking a car insurance quote may trigger a credit search, so check before you apply. l Apply for credit only where you have a good chance of being accepted. Read the eligibility criteria. For example if the product says it will not accept those with County Court Judgments within the last 12 months, then avoid applying if you have a CCJ within the last 12 months. l When applying for a large loan, such as a mortgage, seek advice from a professional broker to ensure that you meet the lenders criteria, which is often not advertised. l Make sure all of your debts are paid by direct debit. This creates an automatic payment and avoids late payment issues around dates such as bank holidays. l If you change your address update everyone and make sure that you have a post redirect until it’s done.

It’s All About Hull

3 Great Facts About Hull That You Should Know. Hull is bidding to host the award show the BAFTA’s, in 2017. It coincides with the City of Culture celebrations, and could bring in huge publicity to the area. A new, purposebuilt venue would be created, on a derelict site in the centre, for the show. The bid could see Hollywood A-listers, such as Emma Watson and Colin Firth, visit our city. The BAFTA’s (British Academy of Film And Television Arts) is dedicated to celebrating the moving image, and is held in London annually. This would mean that Hull would be the first city, outside of the capital, to host the awards.

Hull is set to receive huge investment, as an international business is due to move into a £25 million site. This comes after Siemens announced they had plans to invest £310 million into the development of the city. The new business, set to be named soon, will be based opposite the Siemens factory. It will create over 500 jobs for Hull, and will bring in huge revenue for the city. After achieving the title of City of Culture for 2017, many are hoping that this will be the start of more businesses coming to the area.

Since winning the title of City of Culture, for 2017, it is estimated that Hull has received up to £7 million of positive press coverage. This is quite a change from the publicity it has had before, with Hull once labelled as the ‘worst place to live.’ Alongside this, Trip Advisor has reported a 29% rise in the number of people looking to travel to Hull. A third of these people admitted they would be more likely to visit the city now, due to the title. Museums in Hull have also reported that their numbers are up, and the art industry has stated that there is more investment coming to the city.

Local News

Hull Folk Archive From the 19th century ploughlads of Holderness, to the play of Noah, performed in the Middle Ages, Hull and its surroundings have a wealth of traditional lore going back centuries. However, during the middle years of the 20th century the city saw itself at the forefront of a revival of interest in folk music and song. This revival saw some of the most influential folk clubs in the country formed in the East Riding and it is difficult to attend a folk festival anywhere in the UK and not hear people speaking fondly of Nellie’s, or Folk Union One, Freedom Folk, the Processed Pea and the Rugby to name but a few. Similarly, and associated with these, people still speak with great feeling, for example, of the Watersons and Kathy Mitchell whose contributions to the revival were so important.

Although Hull and the East Riding was only a small area in a national upwelling of fondness for folk music, in many respects the influence of the area was out of proportion to its size and location. For this reason, a group of enthusiasts who were there at the time, have formed a group dedicated to preserving the documents and history of that period. The Hull Folk Archive is a collection of memorabilia, documents and ephemera which chart the people, the places and the times when Hull was at the centre of a worldwide phenomenon. Amongst these documents is a vinyl LP which was produced as a record of the resident singers at the Blue Bell’s, Folk Union One, a seminal club which met in the Old Town on a Sunday night. The LP has just been re-released as a CD in support of the Archive project and allows people to listen to the young folk scene as it was in 1969. The Hull Folk Archive has a Facebook page where the group may be initially contacted and where photographs of the ‘old days’ are often posted. The group are still wanting to expand the initial collection and would welcome any photographs, press cuttings, posters etc. that people I the area may have accumulated over the years. The main part of the archive covers the period from 1950 to the end of the 20th century but this does not preclude earlier or later material being included. Please contact us either on Facebook or via the following email if you can help expand this unusual archival project. Email: gardhams@hotmail.com

Gardening in May Beware treacherous late frosts and keep vulnerable plants and new shoots protected at night if frost is forecast. Don’t be tempted to put out tender bedding until the middle of the month and even then be prepared to cover it if necessary. Continue with the spring cleaning. Hoe your borders to get rid of weeds before they take hold (ideally on a dry day to desiccate the victims) - annual weeds such as bitter cress and groundsel are enough of a nightmare without allowing them to go forth and multiply by seeding. If it’s dry, attack ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves. Remember these systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill anything they contact. Dandelions are a monstrous nuisance at this time of year - if you don’t have time to deal with them terminally, at least chop their heads off before they set seed. Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it is neither too dirty, greasy nor full of detergent) for watering, collect rainwater and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation. Automatic watering systems are economical with water, as well as convenient! The trick with watering is to water thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often (containers need watering every day).

Gardening Mulch away while you can still see what you are doing and before the herbaceous growth really takes off. Use your own garden compost or leaf mould, well rotted manure, the contents of out-of-date grow bags or ready-made soil conditioner. Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to grow, add general purpose fertiliser before covering with mulch especially in borders, the fruit and vegetable patch and containers. If you have already mulched, draw it back (if possible), tease the soil a little, add fertiliser and replace the mulch. Carry on removing moss and weeds from paths, terraces and drives and keep an eye out for pests around the garden. Try to keep the use of chemical controls to a minimum - they may kill off pests, but they also kill off the beneficial insects that prey on them such as ladybirds and hoverfly larvae. Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of clear earth around them - this MUST be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through. Mulch with bark / compost. Hard pruned clematis should now be growing vigorously - tying the new stems in regularly will prevent a haphazard tangle of new shoots which can break easily. Thin annuals to prevent them becoming spindly and leggy - a gap of 6 inches between seedlings is usually about right. Tidy up spring flowering perennials such as pulmonaria - cut off the old foliage, lift and divide large clumps and replant with plenty of water and organic fertiliser - lift polyanthus and relocate to a nursery bed for planting out next spring.

This isn’t the Challenge Cup, something watched by a few million at most and just Australasia outside of Britain but one of the major sporting events of the year watched by hundreds of millions across the globe. This will be genuine international marketing for the city of Hull and Hull City AFC. I do not expect the semi-final to be easy and I hope that our achilles heel of a weak forward line does not come back to bite us. With Jelavic and Long I would expect a win but with Fryatt our main threat, Aluko not yet at his peak and Sagbo no doubt suspended it evens things up more than playing with our first eleven. Fingers crossed X.

East Stand Views...

Away from the Cup however Hull City look assured of another Premier League season. The pre-season target set by Steve Bruce was ten wins and a couple of draws. With ten wins, nine point gap and superior goal difference it will take a miracle for some of the strugglers to catch us even on the assumption we should also lose our five remaining fixtures. This is the best ever Hull City team. They have looked at home in this division and have never really struggled in most matches except

maybe against Southampton and the title chasers. We did defeat Liverpool 3-1 however. We won’t forget that and maybe they will rue their defeat in Hull on the final day of the season. Most of the team look completely at home in this division and several have taken the step up with ease. I suppose there maybe isn’t too much of a gap between the top end to the championship and the mini-league at the bottom of the Premier League. Steve Bruce bought well and brought in established players unlike Cardiff and Norwich who have wasted millions.

Curtis Davies will probably be Player of the Season though he would rather be celebrating an England call-up by the end of the season. It looks unlikely that Davies or Huddlestone will make a breakthrough to the England squad but we are just happy to have this quality playing in black and amber. On the subject of Curtis Davies we now need to watch situations at both Tottenham and Arsenal. Allegedly according to media reports Spurs are keen on our star defender and they

would also wish to recall and play Jake Livermore next season. This would be dependent on Tim Sherwood retaining his position and if he is replaced by yet another foreign manager we should have little to fear. Livermore would no doubt be a squad member sold off to finance another over priced Italian. There is no doubt that Curtis Davies is attracting attention elsewhere in the Premier League but European football could help keep him here. This brings us to Arsenal. If we have hopefully defeated Sheffield United then we should have reached the Europa League by virtue of playing Arsenal in the final. Unfortunately Everton may pip them to 4th spot and European football could be dependent of us winning the FA Cup itself (Am I really discussing this!?) Our final fixture is at home to Everton so we may need to defeat them to assist Arsenal!. This week will also see the next stage of the Hull Tigers saga. Only 2,517 voted against this out of 15,000 adult passholders offered the vote but the FA will no doubt dismiss the idea on April 9th. I am not too bothered either way but the future of the Allams is

more of a worry. The club could be put up for sale though I can’t see many bidders with £90 million for a club with no assets besides players. They will only gain a sale once established in the Premier League so they may have to stick with us. They could take a chunk of Sky money and sell the likes of Davies, McGregor and Huddlestone but then we could lose our Premier League place, funding and probably Steve Bruce as well. It is a mess really. We are in a position few could dream of back in the 1990’s but the name

change proposal has caused so much trouble for everyone. One possible solution would be for the Stadium site to made available by the council and the clubs owners could build hotels or offices and redevelop the stadium. That would seem a pipe dream considering the hostility to the council but by 2017 City of Culture wouldn’t it be great if major acts could once again play at the KC Stadium the home of an established Premier League football team. However let’s hope that by the time we are in print that the only thing we need to worry about is getting hold of an FA Cup Final ticket.

Words by Joe ‘Woody’ Mellor

I find myself in the bizarre situation of having to write this before a Wembley appearance but I hope that by the time you are reading this Hull City will be in their first ever FA Cup Final.

Step into spring with Dove House Hospice… As the sun begins to shine this spring, Dove House Hospice are encouraging local people to join us at our annual Spring Sponsored Walk on Sunday 4th May. There are three walks to choose from to suit all ages and abilities, families and even your four-legged friends too! From a gentle 4.5 mile Westwood Walk, an intermediate 12 miles to a challenging 21 miles, routes take in the rolling countryside and picturesque villages of East Yorkshire surrounding the market town of Beverley. Fundraising co-ordinator, Amanda Ashburner said “Our annual Sponsored Walk is very well supported by our dedicated walkers; however we would also like to see a sea of new faces for 2014. We are very excited to return to Beverley and hope this will entice local residents to step out into the spring sunshine, enjoy our surrounding countryside whilst supporting Dove House Hospice.” Registration for the walks is free; however we do ask each walker to raise a minimum of £20 to take part in the walk. Registration begins at Longcroft School, Burton Road, Beverley, throughout the route walkers will pass by marshalled checkpoints where refreshments will be available to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk. Dove House Hospice provides specialist palliative care to adults in Hull and East Riding living with life-limiting illnesses. The annual running costs of the hospice is £6.1 million each year, with only the equivalent of 45 days per year funded, it is events like this and the support from local people that enables the hospice to provide care for the remainder 320 days. To register just visit: www.dovehouse.org.uk/sponsoredwalk or you can contact the fundraising team to request an entry form by telephoning: 01482 785 743 or email: fundraising@dovehouse.org.uk

New Kumon study centre opens in Hull The new Kumon Hull, Newland Study Centre is now open and taking enrolments It will offer Kumon’s unique maths and English study programmes, which enable children to develop their study skills and confidently tackle advanced work. Kumon develops children through the acquisition of independent learning skills, rather than teaching in the conventional sense. Your child will therefore be equipped with the ability to learn for themselves so they do not become dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others. Your child will initially start at a comfortable level, with a focus on building a strong foundation in the way they study; they will develop invaluable study skills such as concentration, pace and rhythm, before confidently tackling topics they will not have previously studied. Kumon Educational is the UK’s largest supplementary education provider, with over 70,000 students studying at 680 study centres. The Hull, Newland Study Centre is located at Community Church, Bradbury Community House, with classes running on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30pm to 5.30pm. For more information, contact Instructor Penelope Barlow on telephone number: 01482 762 016 or alternatively you can email: hullnewland@kumoncentre.co.uk.

New Centre now open Kumon’s maths and English study programmes work to build your child’s confidence and inspire a passion for learning. To unlock your child’s potential, contact your local Instructor for a free assessment.
