Keeping our city moving

THE POTENTIAL PLEASURE OF OUR EVERYDAY JOURNEYS IS OFTEN LOST IN THE RUSH TO REACH OUR DESTINATION BY CAR. EMBRACING THE ALTERNATIVES CAN BE EASIER THAN YOU THINK. Travel: Getting from A-to-B. Whether for work or pleasure, we spend our lives making all manner of journeys.

Many of our travel choices are dependent on the time of day, the weather, where we are heading and whether we are running late. Out of habit, the car can often appear the only or perhaps the quickest option, however on short journeys this is rarely the case. Trips into the city on foot or on two-wheels give you the freedom to do as you please long into the night, without having to worry about parking charges. What’s more, if you’re heading in for a spot of shopping it also gives you the option to reward yourself with a few guilt-free drinks. Bit by bit, whether

The i-Travel York initiative is all about providing you with the means to plan your everyday journeys and practical advice on how you can save money, stay healthy and help to reduce congestion on our roads. We can all do our bit to keep York moving by making small changes to how we travel around the city. It could be as simple as starting by walking or cycling to work one day a week as one of your New Year’s resolutions. You could use the bus to get into town and save yourself from the stress of parkQVO WZ aW] KW]TL ^Q[Q\ ___ Q\ZI^MTaWZS QVNW \W ÅVL out ways of making car use more environmentally friendly.

Rothko’s aims, as well as his techniques, differed from those of Albers. For Rothko, colour became merely “an instrument� to express basic human emotions of “tragedy, ecstasy and doom�. He wanted people to have the same spiritual experience as he had when painting them, saying, “If you are moved only by their colour relationship, then you miss the point�. As his health and his personal life disintegrated, he became increasingly concerned with ‘the transcendent’. By 1958 his palette had grown increasingly dark. The mood is strongly sombre and meditative and, to many, deeply moving.... The invigorating colour we all need at this time of year, is there to cheer you in several art galleries in York. Lotte Inch has been showing bright, colour-

It’s all too easy for great, even good ideas to fade away before they see the light of day. Turning them into action – be it for wealth or welfare - is where the skill really lies. A new initiative from York St John University is on hand to help small businesses, skilled professionals and community groups access the equipment and expertise to make their ideas happen. The Infusion Factory (www.theinfusionfactory. co.uk) acts as a matchmaker between these groups and the spare capacity in all manner of local resources. It’s a window into the potential collaborations on their doorstep and the peer-to-peer lending the market has been calling for. It could be as simple as hiring a bit of equipment that’s normally out of their price range, such as a laser cutter or video editing suite, as exciting as making a prototype for potential investors, or as complex as protecting the IP of their creation with the assistance of an expert. In other words, Infusion

For anybody with equipment or space for hire, the Infusion Factory is a great way to earn extra funds without any added effort. Without even giving it a second thought, your workplace could be sitting on the key ingredient to making somebody else’s dream project a reality.

Make a list when looking at a [XMKQÅK _MLLQVO ^MV]M ?ZQ\M down what is essential to you and start from there. For example, do you want to hold the ceremony and reception in the same place? If not, consider transport between the two. We’re lucky to live in a city where most venues can be reached by foot, with countless photo opportunities en route. If your guests have to travel to the location, don’t forget to check there’s enough accommodation available in the area?

Humanist ceremonies are increasingly popular as they can be held anywhere deemed ‘safe and LQOVQĂ…MLÂź <PMa U][\ JM XZMceded by a legal ceremony and are an excellent option for those who want an alternative venue. Head to Google for some excellent ideas and advice.

When doing the rounds of bridal stores don’t forget to try vintage. York has loads of antique and vintage shops to trawl through. Alternatively, a bespoke design is often more affordable than you might think.

Ask questions and take note of the answers. Does the venue assist with wedding planning, when can you come in to decorate the reception room, do they offer entertainment?

Thanks to some ingenious marketing from the greetings card giant, this completely fabricated version of the story made its way onto American website history.com, and became indelibly inked on the public’s consciousness, destined to be much repeated in schools around the world.

But strip away the chocolates and the over-priced red roses, and the day is, in fact, a complete enigma. Of the Saint Valentine whose feast traditionally falls on this day, almost nothing is known. His life is mired in obscurity – it’s not even clear whether the feast day honours just the one Valentine, or several.

THE ASYLUM THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

The Asylum That Changed the World OFTEN WHEN EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF YORK THERE IS ONE FIGURE THAT ESCAPES OUR MEMORY. THAT OF WILLIAM TUKE. HERE WE EXPLORE THE GRIM TRUTH BEHIND THE REFORMS AND THE ASYLUM THAT CHANGED HISTORY.

King George VI stated that: “The history of York Q[ \PM PQ[\WZa WN -VOTIVLÂş )[QLM NZWU \PM :WUIV[ the Vikings and all in between, York’s every pore is dripping with the voices of our ancestors. The many stories that lie around every snickleway, the ones we are born with, the ones we hear day by day, and yet some seem to resonate more with our cultural identity than others. One such story is the role that York has played in the history of psychiatry. A story that begins within our city, rooted in its Quaker forefathers and one that has helped model asylums around the world today. The Retreat on Lamel Hill is still a psychiatric hospital today.
