track, we made it clear that riders must be at the
peak of fitness by next June. Without the necessary
advanced training there is no way even an
experienced cyclist would survive this challenge.
Thats why the 18 strong riding team will be
starting now to get under their belt the planned
training of the 2,500 miles target prior to the ride,
including 75,000 feet climbing and at least fifteen,
70 plus mile, rides over the next 12 months. And
lets not forget why were putting ourselves through
this: the fundraising target for the Border2Border
Challenge is 100,000 and with industry support
we would love to surpass this. Every penny raised
goes to Hope House Childrens Hospices because
the riders and support team each cover their own
costs. Were also delighted to welcome Deceuninck
as our proud headline sponsor and with the support
of this leading global brand, we aim to make the
2016 B2B journey a safe and enjoyable experience
for all involved, while ultimately raising much
needed funds for the families looked after by Hope

to retain this aesthetic, for uniformity across the
blocks, like-for-like replacement would have meant
unnecessary cold spots. We had to design a window
solution which would allow as much of the building
to be wrapped in EWI as possible.
As the tilt and turn windows werent popular with
either Rykneld or the residents, we opted for a 50/50
split casement window with a vertical mullion and
push out window. We also shaved 100mm off the
height simply because window design has come on
leaps and bounds since the early 1990s, and were
able to work with slimmer, improved PVC-U profiles
nowadays.
To achieve the same look we retained a 50/50
window/timber panel composition but rather than
simply fixing plywood panel beneath the window
or skimming plasterboard we fastened the timber
panel to a PVC-U frame with two vertical mullions
fabricated with the Profile 22 FI70 system.
Using a specific screw, (a factor that we had to
stress on-site) combined with Profile 22s recycled
composite material (RCM) reinforcement we were
able to achieve the necessary wind load calculations,
proving that the substrate was strong enough to
withstand the pressures at height and carry the EWI.
While we had solved the issue of the timber panel
we also had to work out how the EWI could wrap
around into the external reveal, continued Rob. For
this we used tanalised timber, this meant that the
EWI operatives could go right into the reveal and
again, eradicate another potential cold spot.

were firmly set on this road. However as many do at the age of 19 he fell in love & shortly after he
had a young family to think about. This meant that Micks first dream had to take a backward seat
for a new, more challenging dream to begin. Mick quickly got into work to provide for his family &
after 8 years at the forefront of face to face selling decided that in 2014 he wanted to take a more
relaxed & customer based role. This led to working at My Trade TV in the customer liaison/admin
role he is in today. Mick is in charge of chasing up all the press releases and advert artwork from
our clients. In his spare time Mick loves the sport of Rugby League, but admits it does fall short in
comparison to his young family who he loves to spend time with.

Rob Wade
Graphic Designer
Rob became interested in graphic design after co-founding an online design forum - gfxskool.com
in 2005 at only 14 years old. He used this community to learn many digital imaging applications.
The forum opened his eyes to all types of digital art & graphic design, he was hooked at a very early
age. After finishing school he studied graphic design at Worcester school of art/design & obtained a
btec national diploma in graphic design. Three years later he completed his graphic design degree
(BA Hons) at the University of Huddersfield where he still resides today. He now works as the sole
designer at My Trade TV creating our digital, interactive magazines. On weekends he DJ's around
the country playing club nights wherever he's booked. He also runs his own monthly jungle/sound
system night in Huddersfield. When not DJ'ing, he likes to strum away on his guitar & play the odd
acoustic gig.

we met with her at her hotel, she continued lying.
She told us about stories she had just planted in
the press. She seemed extremely manipulative and
dominating. She didn't seem so concerned about
what was going on with him, although she said he
was suicidal and everybody knows he's going to kill
himself. Yet she seemed more concerned about her
career than anything else. So as we left the room,
I told my partner, Ben Klugman that we're going to

document carefully."
Coroner reports identified Kurt had lethal doses of
heroin in his blood at the time he pulled the trigger.
Toxicological tests determined 1.5 milligrams of
heroin per liter of blood and evidence of Valium.
This is a very high level of heroin to have taken,
so much so that you would overdose and die in
seconds, even with the needle still stuck in, like in
many overdose cases. Max Wallace, author of Love
& Death; The Murder Of Kurt Cobain says there
is not a single case in U.S. history documented
where someone was able to survive more than a
few seconds after ingesting this dose. Yet he was
able to pick up a shotgun and shoot himself point
blank in the head. Some say due to his tolerance of
the drug, he might be able to pull this off?
A long trail of evidence suggests investigators never
seriously contemplated the idea of murder at all. In
fact on the same day the body was found Seattle
Police had already officially labeled the death as a
suicide. It was widely reported that Kurt had locked
himself in the room and barricaded the door shut
with a stool. Tom Grant asked Sergeant Cameron
the police chief in charge of the investigation, if he
can examine the photographs that police took at
the scene. The detective refused, offering yet more
proof that he never took his murder investigation
seriously. "We haven't developed the photographs and
probably never will. We don't develop photographs
on suicides said Cameron. Months later, Grant
obtained the incident report filed by the first
detectives who arrived on the scene. The report
clearly demonstrates that the stool wasn't, in fact,

A key to the success of the Stuga ZX4 is that it
is designed to be uncomplicated and easy to look
after. The trend of other machinery becoming
complicated has led to a shortage of good

they are not able to deal with complex technology
that needs a lot of support from the manufacturer

buyers of this kind of technology. There is no long
list of freelance service technicians operating in
the market that can be hired at competitive prices
to keep the cost down. Stuga have their entire

Healthy Living
Healthy Habits
Healthy Living
habits. You may have a goal to lose weight - to get
that beach body for the summer, you may want to quit
smoking for the health benefits and to be able to run
around playing football with your kids without feeling
out of breath all the time. We make small decisions
each and every day which either work for us or against
us in reaching our goals. Theres no quick fix to living a
healthier lifestyle. Its those small conscious decisions
which we make every day which count. This is how
habits are formed. Eating an apple today wont make
you instantly healthy but eating an apple every day
instead of opting for that chocolate bar every day for
a few years can make a difference. Lets say that an
apple contains around 50 calories and your favourite
chocolate bar contains around 250 calories (these are
just estimates but you get the idea) and then theres
the nutritional value of each. All other things being
equal if you eat an apple a day for two years then youll
have consumed around 36500 calories in apples. Do
that with your favourite chocolate bar and youll have
consumed around 182500 in your chocolate bars. Now
considering that theres the old 3500 calories equals a
pound in body weight rule and whether you consider
this to be a myth or not I find this to be a good rule
of thumb. This means that in 2 years the chocolate
bars will be around 52 pounds in body weight against
the apples being just over 10 pounds. Thats over five
times the difference. Its that cumulative effect that,
over time, making certain food choices, has on your
body.
Now I love chocolate but had to cut it down because
I knew I was eating too much of the stuff and that
eventually it may catch up to me. So I did just that
I cut down. I now enjoy it occasionally and it is a
treat rather than part of my daily routine. Now I enjoy
chocolate more than I ever did because of the scarcity
of it in my life. I no longer feel guilty about eating it
because its a treat. I essentially required my brain in
terms of how I think about chocolate. I also exercise
daily and have done so since being very young but there
have been times in my life where Ive stayed away from
the gym for periods of timeI have got out of the good
habit! Its been more difficult to get back into this good
habit the longer Ive stayed away so theres a positive
correlation. I find that when I go to the gym I get the
rush that people describethe endorphins. Its great!
I love it! I find that writing down my goals is a great
motivator and then tracking my exercise habits helps
to keep me accountable.
Ive always found that there can be a big difference
between what we say and what we do. Ideas are good
but without action they are just ideas. So take action
but remember that slow and steady wins the race
remember The Tortoise and the Hare. Were looking
at lifestyle changes which have a positive effect
over time and forming good habits. You see, when
you work on your good habits, youll actually start to
find that you have less space and time for your bad
habits. For instance, when I go to the gym I feel like
eating more healthily. Its almost like your good habits
and opening even more doors to other good habits!
Theres a positive knock-on effect. Remember, healthy
lifestyle is the goal, not quick dramatic unsustainable
changes. On the other hand, there are some things I
gave up instantly, these were all or nothing habits like
smoking. Some people may be social smokers but I
was a daily smoker and I didnt like what I was doing.
There were no benefits to my bad habit of smoking so
I quit outright and never looked back. This was over
11 years ago and I never think about smoking anymore
and I havent done so for a very long time.
Personal development is often about putting off instant
gratification for longer term benefits such as giving up
some of your free time to study at night class or cutting
out some unhealthy foods so that your waistline wont
increase and you wont need to purchase larger sized
trousers every few years. Im happy to recognise my
faults and work on myself to become the best version
of myself possible. Striving towards a healthier and
more fulfilling lifestyle does require some often major
changes but the results are often well worth it and
these changes can be broken down into smaller steps.
As the long-term effects of making positive changes
in our lives begin to spill over into other areas of our
lives then the benefits just keep on growing. Working
out helps you to sleep better, leads to heathier eating
choices, gives you more energy, helps you concentrate
better at work and be more productive. The benefits
seem endless and affect every area of our lives. One
healthy habit leads to another. It all just requires that
first step which we have the choice to either make or
not make. The first step always seems to be the hardest
but then it just gets easier from there.
The Stuga ZX4 can produce 800-1000 internally glazed windows per
week. There are many reference sites for this high output machining
centre. Includes sawcuts and preps for all window and door styles
including bi-folds. U shaped configuration allows the possibility for single
operator usage. All Stuga machining centres notch on both sides of any profile.
