* Shred the daikon and carrot. (This is best done with mouli-legumes or in a food processor to give you fine strands.) * Place the daikon and carrot in a bowl of water with several ice cubes and place in the fridge for 1 hour to crisp. * Drain well, mix together with the noodles, red pepper, red chilli, konbu and salad dressing, and season with salt. * Divide between 2 plates. * Heat a griddle until smoking and toss the asparagus and beansprouts in the oil and a seasoning of salt. * Cook on the griddle for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. * Add the choi sum towards the end so that it just wilts. Allow cool, add to the rest of the salad and top up with the coriander. student-i magazine | Winter issue 2013

Trapped behind the lens

When I was fifteen I discovered an addiction within photography. I loved experimenting with cameras as I became lost in a world of lenses and shutter speed. Ever since then I have worked hard to pursue a career in photography whilst trying to keep up with my studies. I am currently studying Media Arts at St Marys University in Twickenham which has opened my mind to an array of different techniques whilst putting my own personal touch on existing ones. I have worked towards defining my own personal style as a photographer and creating a business which has enabled me to meet a wide range of people and produce a varied portfolio of work.

When I am taking a photograph, my initial aim is to capture moods and not moments. I love creating feelings within my images and love using editing software such as Photoshop to my advantage. This allows me to completely manipulate the mood of a photo. I have a very un-stereotypical approach to photography and love to focus on dark and meaningful photos and tend to stay away from the generic, fashion type images.

I am very much influenced by both new and old styles and I like to include an underlying sense of narrative within my shots, be it editorial, fashion or my personal work and I am inspired by old masters in

12

painting and photography, romanticism, poetry and literature.

If you have a passion in life you need to pursue it and my tips for those wanting to get into photography is to expose yourself within each image and make sure you get into a habit of always taking photographs. That way you are constantly feeding your obsession within the art whilst also thinking about each shot you take.

GET FIT IN 2013 British Military Fitness is the most effective way of getting fitter, stronger, faster and having fun while you do so.

British Military Fitness is all about getting fit together. While joining a fitness group can seem daunting to some, from the moment that your instructor greets you, you’ll be made to feel part of the group and in a matter of minutes you’ll be drawing strength and having fun with your class mates as you crawl under, jump over, and run around them. We’re also a pretty friendly bunch, so you’ll get plenty of opportunities to get to know your fellow classmates after class.

British Military Fitness offers a highly sociable way to health and fitness.

British Military Fitness Instructors don’t just stand in front of the class and demonstrate exercises that the class then repeats. Our instructors lead, explain, guide, and motivate you through each session. According to the needs of the group they will accelerate and decelerate the pace of the fitness class, introduce exercise variations, and ensure that everyone pairs up or gets in the right group for team games and challenges. Using the landscape around them, they’ll take their classes around the ups and downs, ins and outs of the park and get the most out of the natural environment.

Give yourself a reason to exercise. This can be anything from feeling great to looking great, but be focused. Whatever it is, your reason must be sufficiently compelling to get you active.

Set yourself goals. Break these down into short and long term. A good short term goal is to go for a run or attend a British Military Fitness (BMF) class once a week.

A long term goal might be losing weight, achieving rippling abs or even completing a 5 or 10k run. The main thing is to exercise for yourself and set your own targets - you will be far more likely to succeed this way Keep a log of your training. It’s much more motivating if you can track your activity levels and see that you’re working towards those long and short term goals Workout with someone else. It has been proven that people who exercise together are more likely to exercise consistently. BMF is group training class designed to create a positive and competitive atmosphere. Why not come along try it with a friend?

Focus on your technique. For speedier results, getting your technique right is a must to make exercising more efficient and prevent injuries. At BMF, our instructors are there to correct form and ensure that each participant exercises safely and effectively Reward yourself. When you’ve achieve one of your goals it’s important to celebrate your success. Give yourself a treat, anything from a glass of wine to a new outfit – whatever it takesto keep you motivated.

Ruby’s – A genuine speakeasy in Dalston

Editor of DesignMyNight.com

Netil 360, Netil House, 1 Westgate Street, London E8 3RL

Being one of the most dynamic and forward thinking cities in the world, it’s only natural that London has a banging nightlife scene made up of countless hedonistic hubs dotted all around the city. The trouble is of course, there’s a lot to choose from. And it doesn’t take a genius to work out that with the good, unfortunately comes the bad.

‘Speakeasy’ is a term that’s been bandied around in London throughout 2012, and in some cases, the shoe doesn’t always fit. Ruby’s Dalston fully deserves its Speakeasy stamping; hidden away by Dalston Kingsland Station underneath a cinema sign, Ruby’s focuses on top quality cocktails and drinks, alongside a buzzing atmosphere for those who can find the entrance.

When I moved to London 4 years ago after graduating, I was eager to experience all the city had to offer. I knew then that it takes a little research to get the most of out the big smoke and walking aimlessly around town would only get me so far (not very far). Luckily enough for me, and the rest of London, along came DesignMyNight.com; an impartial nightlife comparison site routing out the newest, coolest and best venues London has to offer. They also offer free online bookings for tables, guestlists and areas to secure your place at the hottest parties in town. Now working as their Editor, I get an insight into the various happenings and hotspots across this bodacious city. Whether it’s new Peruvian delights, a Ping-Pong craze or the plethora of pop-ups on offer, London really does bring a lot to the metaphorical nightlife table.

Here are a few of my top picks for must-visits in London 2013…

Love & Liquor – Quirky late night club in Kilburn The Stables Market, Camden NW1 8AH Though a little pricy, Love & Liquor is a Brooklyn-inspired club in Kilburn packing a punch that justifies spending a few extra quid. Neon lighting, well thought-out drinks and big tunes are the signature for this late night haunt. Love & Liquor also features a hidden bar called the ‘Volstead Library’…accessible via a wardrobe.

The Golden Bee – Late Night Shoreditch Cocktail Rooftop Bar Singer Street, Shoreditch, London EC1V 9DD A new addition to Shoreditch in 2012, The Golden Bee is an experimental cocktail party bar and club serving up bespoke drinks and an awesome open-air roof terrace bar. All from the heart of cool Shoreditch, it’s a great place for rooftop drinks amongst the buzz of happening East London.

Blueberry Bar and Kitchen – Ping-Pong, Live Music and Food Joint 2 Paul Street, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4JH We’re not sure if it was Olympic-fever, but table-tennis has taken over London. There are a few options for you to get your ping-pong on across the capital, but Blueberry Bar and Kitchen in Shoredtich is a good happily affordable bet. As if the table-tennis wasn’t enough, it also hosts bitching DJ nights and live music events throughout the week, as well as serving up delicious food for its guests to enjoy post-match.

The Nest – Electro Club in Dalston 36 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7XJ

LOW – Ibiza house clubbing experience 91 Jermyn Street, London SW1Y 6JB Located beneath an unassuming restaurant, LOW nightclub is set in an unlikely location, which only adds to its allure. Boasting a sound system that’s only found in two other clubs in the world, the LOW experience is akin to deep house nights usually only found in Berlin, Detroit and Ibiza.

The Nest in Dalston is the epitome of cool electronica.

Setting out in 2010 to provide a creative space for banging electronic music, The Nest has gone from strength to strength and its intimate interior is an awesome place to get lost in the music. 2013 should be a big year for these guys.

Drink, Shop & Dance 9 Basement Caledonian Road, Kings Cross, London N1 9DX

Worship Street Whistling Shop – Experimental Drinking Experience

Drink, Shop & Dance is located in a former steam room of a Victorian bath house, which later housed a sex shop, so it’s only fitting that it’s a tongue-in-cheek type of bar.

Expect killer cocktails, disco balls and a few peep holes thrown in for good measure: a definite must-visit for 2013.

63 Worship Street, Shoreditch, London EC2A 2DU If you’re looking for a quirky drinking experience, the Worship Street Whistling Shop is sure to impress. It’s an experimental Victorian inspired drinking den with a wide range of weird and wonderful drinks on offer. There doesn’t seem to be too many boundaries, which makes it all the more fun.

Is travelling in our genome?

By Macca Sherifi, travel editor of gapyear.com

Everyone who travels talks about how hard it is to hang up their travel boots, and if the infamous ‘travel bug’ were an actual illness, then GPs around the world would be inundated with patients.

Travellers are constantly in the search for the unknown, to get lost in new and exciting locations, and to get off the ‘beaten track’.

Each adventure becomes more far-flung, more extreme, and more dangerous.

There’s no doubt about it, travelling is on our blood. But what exactly does that mean? And why do we travel?

One scientist, Svante Pääbo, is on a quest to sequence the Neanderthal genome, and he has come up with a theory as to why humans travel and seek the unknown.

Pääbo said: “I want to know what changed in fully modern humans compared with Neanderthals. What made it possible for us to build up these enormous societies, and spread around the globe.”

Records show that Neanderthals evolved in Europe or Western Asia and roamed the globe from there, only stopping when they reached water or some other obstacle. However, this is where modern humans differ; modern humans carry on. They don’t stop.

They continue to travel despite the obstacles.

If the defining characteristic of modern humans is a hunger and desire for the unknown, then there must be a gene for this.

Pääbo continues: “It’s only modern humans who start this thing of venturing out on the ocean where you don’t see land. Part of that is technology, of course; you have to have ships to do it. But there is also, I like to think or say, some madness there. You know?

“How many people must have sailed out and vanished on the Pacific before you found Easter Island? I mean, it’s ridiculous. And why do you do that? Is it for the glory? For immortality? For curiosity? And now we go to Mars. We never stop.

As travellers, we are crazy in some way. We throw ourselves at of planes at 14,000 ft, down grade four rapids, and bungee canyons without a second thought.

We put ourselves in situations that are deemed ‘dangerous’ and come out the other end grinning from ear to ear.

Yes, we are crazy in some, and that’s why we travel…

“We are crazy in some way. What drives it? That I would really like to understand. That would be really, really cool to know.”

University can be the best years of your life, made up of a whirlwind of parties, fun and of course studying. A drink might help ease those initial nerves of meeting new people, but drinking your body weight in cider is not necessarily an essential initiation into university life! The mayhem of fresher’s week and the freedom of being away from home makes it tempting to drink heavily.

Drinks deals are everywhere at uni, but don’t get too casual - all the spending adds up and a student loan will only go so far.

There are easy ways you can cut down your spending when you’re out. Take cash out and leave your bank card at home… it makes over spending harder. Also, steer clear of rounds. If you get into rounds and don’t want to drink any more, you might still feel like you have to drink at the pace of the fastest drinker. This could mean you end up glugging more drinks than you intended and is often more expensive than just buying drinks for yourself.

soundest piece of advice to help you avoid potentially risky situations is to keep an eye on your mates and try to stick within the government’s unit guidelines which advise that people should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units of alcohol for men (equivalent to a pint and a half of 4% beer) and 2-3 units of alcohol for women (equivalent to a 175 ml glass of wine).

‘Regularly’ means drinking every day or most days of the week.

Drinking too much could also lead to taking unnecessary risks with your personal safety, like taking an unlicensed taxi or walking home alone. Being drunk can increase your chances of getting into fights or having a nasty accident or injury when you’re out.

Because alcohol is a depressant, it slows down the brain and affects the body’s responses which is why simple things like coordination become more difficult. The

If you do wake up and you have overdone it, drink plenty of water and perhaps have some fresh juice to give yourself a vitamin boost. Get plenty of rest and relaxation, fresh air and maybe take a break from alcohol. Avoid hair of the dog – it only delays the problem.

Use Drinkaware’s free ‘Good Times’ app to help with arranging your night out. Keep a note of your drinks to avoid waking up to a Facebook wall of shame. The app can even keep tabs on your friends via GPS and

Tip Box 1. Turning down a drink is less embarrassing than throwing one up 2. Eating isn’t cheating 3. Miss a round, not the whole night 4. Take cash on its own, when it’s gone, head home 5. What’s the big rush? Drink too much, too early and you’ll miss out 6. Alternate alcoholic drinks with soft ones
