Windows 10 should you update your laptop pc if you have an older version Microsoft offered to update your laptop pc to Windows 10 for free up until Summer 2016 Some people running very old equipment took the offer and suffered badly Others with newer machines managed better Now if you d like to upgrade to Windows 10 there is a cost However there is a way around this where you can still upgrade for free Why upgrade in the first place If you have a Windows 8 1 machine I would definitely upgrade as you will then get back to a user experience that is more suited to a mouse and keyboard setup Windows 10 in many respects looks and feels similar to the old favourite of Windows 7 Windows 10 1909 and came out in November 2019 I never recommend updating to these major updates straightaway and suggest users wait some months so that Microsoft have time to iron out any problems that they have caused If you have an older machine that you d like to upgrade and you d like some advice on what you can do with it please get in touch with me and I can go through all the options with you If you have a Windows 7 machine then you might be able to upgrade if you bought the machine towards the end of its time period However bear in mind that even if you have machine that was bought at the end of its time period it will be around about 8 years old already it might be time to consider purchasing a new machine Also if you re still running a Windows 7 machine then you are working unsafely as Microsoft is no longer providing security updates for this operating system Once you have Windows 10 on your laptop pc Microsoft will continue to upgrade it twice a year so you will no longer have Windows 11 Windows 12 version numbers appearing The latest version of Windows 10 is Windows 10 2004 and is currently being rolled out now The version prior to that is Jenny Stewart IT Consultant JennySys Computing Services 01661 833533 Email info jennysys co uk www jennysys co uk 10

Recording Nature One of the greatest pleasures of the natural world is that there is always so much to find out it s also one of the biggest frustrations For those starting out the mountain can seem enormous as you try to get to grips with the difference between a small tortoiseshell and painted lady butterfly or between a chaffinch and bullfinch For those with many years behind them the mountain is no less tall as the horrible realisation strikes that there is more than one dandelion or that there is a whole group of insects that you ve never even heard of For some the compulsion to identify and name everything is strong others are content to just enjoy the variety of life out there I sometimes envy that second group If you are a namer then it can be so easy to put the beauty and awe of the natural world behind the compulsion to work out what on earth you are looking at And yet that compulsion drives you into new areas sometimes unfathomable depths of knowledge and wonder the trick is to know your limits and resurface before it s too late So this summer s quest for me has been to seek things out to use evening dog walks or days out in the countryside to see what I can find to identify what I can and to record some of what I see The records are not just kept in some dusty notebook or whatever the computer version might be but are compiled to be sent to local species recorders and our local biological recording centre ERIC North East So if you are recording wildlife or could do so then please send those records you have to ERIC But there are a few tips to recording Only record what you are pretty sure is accurate Don t record everything all the time you ll lose the will to continue Check what information is needed before you start and how to keep the records what where when and who Remember the common not just the rare Enjoy it So why are records of wildlife so important The simple answer is that if you don t know what you ve got you can t look after it if you can t see what you re losing you can t protect it A good example of this would be the water vole I ve lost count of the number of people who have told me they used to see them all the time but now they are almost gone from our region No one was watching as they slowly disappeared Projects like Restoring Ratty are now putting time and energy into reintroducing this once common creature to our region For those of us in conservation it s a confusing time On one hand nature recovery strategies are being proposed while on the other planning rules are being relaxed giving less protection to already vulnerable wildlife If we are armed with information on what lives where then we at least have the evidence to try to stand up for wildlife and fight for its survival And on the subject of enjoying it my method is to do it as part of a walk or as a break from something else I record only certain things each time so that I am not spending hours sorting it all out later and I take photos Photographs can be great to help with identification but can also help you appreciate what you are looking at and will even help you discover new things You don t even need expensive kit to make a start a modern mobile phone camera can do so much In a tentative dabble into social media I share a small selection of wildlife images mostly from the local area on Instagram Have a look if you are interested It s just me sharing some pictures of species large and small but mostly small to show what amazing things we have living locally Find them duncanwildlife Duncan Hutt Head of Living Landscapes and Conservation Northumberland Wildlife Trust 16

Masquerade I live next to a field of Emus I had no idea and I moved here five years ago Splendid creatures are emus if not slightly out of place amongst the Northumbrian countryside Watching them wander I was reminded how we can easily become blindsided missing the idiosyncrasies right under our very nose only noticing what we expect to see within the context of what we know to be Consider that you can see less than 1 of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1 of the acoustic spectrum The existence of the rainbow depends on the conical photoreceptors in your eyes to animals without cones the rainbow does not exist So you don t just look at the rainbow you create it This is pretty amazing especially considering that all the beautiful colours you see represent less than the 1 of the electromagnetic spectrum Sergio Toporek Sometimes somethings happen that push you way beyond your current paradigm of perceived awareness things happen that are at odds with logic reason and rational understanding It was during 2014 I had such an experience as I presented my weekly talk show during which my IPAD began to move independent of touch I watched as it flicked though the side bar on Youtube scanning lots of different titles finally stopping on a TED talk titled Have you found your calling it then continued to move again like some kind of new age Ouija board and came to a conclusion on David Icke I was confused who is David Icke You can t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards Steve Jobs I never gave the incident much more thought until in research mode for my previous article Immune to the System I came across a live stream with David on London Real in which he was sharing an alternative take on the current mainstream owned narrative on Covid 19 Listening to it confirmed my instincts watching the interview subsequently removed and censored and all trace of David Icke removed from YouTube really got my attention Synchronicity is Gods way of staying anonymous Albert Einstein There is a much bigger picture to look into and we should ALL be asking questions One of the most important being regardless of what is being said what does it mean when someone is de platformed and their content blocked banned and removed from the internet Yes there can be misinformation but why is this particular thing person being shut down and censored Unless you deviate beyond the mainstream owned sources of information you might not even be aware lot of critical thinkers doctors academics and scientists are being erased worldwide Is this a digital equivalent to book burning To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize Voltaire Do you believe everything you have been told is happening just because you have been told it is happening Or can you discern for yourself find out information on your own terms instead of the owned government and media doing it for you I d recommend you start here 1 Mind space is a 2010 document by the British government discussing mind control influences to change the of behaviour in society 2 Operation lockstep is part of a wider document titled Scenarios for the future of technology and international development written by the Rockerfellers in 2010 also known as the agenda behind Covid 19 24 everything that is happening around you now and is said to happen in the future is in this document I don t want you to believe what I share I want you to research it for yourself alongside a healthy level of discernment intuition and critical analysis I personally struggle to take any government guidance seriously due to all the cock ups and contradictions they have publicly displayed throughout this entire pandemic and this is why I now outwardly object to wear the mandatory face coverings The terrible immoralities are the cunning ones hiding behind masks of morality such as exploiting people while pretending to help them Vernon Howard If you look at the mask from a conscious mind point of view it is protecting you from the virus If you look at the mask from a psychological point of view what does it symbolize If you are to be silenced how that might be demonstrated Professor Susan Mikey is a scientific advisor to the government who has pushed the mandatory mask agenda she isn t a professor of health but psychology Is it really about our health or is it about control Mandated masks are an outward symbol of compliance your consent to a corrupted system reinforcing the message to others and deep within your subconscious self someone else is in charge I have spoken to people in queues in shops who also agree it s nonsense cashiers who remove their masks as they are in pain tell me they have to do it so they can take a wage home and feed their family I respect that but what about the rest of us What are the consequences to your self esteem to go along with something you don t believe in What are the consequences as collective if we all just go along with it It feels and looks inhuman All truth passes through three stages First it is ridiculed Second it is violently opposed Third it is accepted as being self evident Arthur Schopenhauer At the time of writing this article an investigation has been launched into the exaggerated death toll for Covid 19 through the reclassification of deaths whilst WhatsApp introduce a fact check symbol on any content at odds with the mainstream narrative I have myself been the target for online re education on matters such as vaccines Snoopes is now strategically placed on the top of search engines on various Covid related topics but who is debunking the debunker You know the truth by how it feels It s time to face up to what is really going on here and it was never about our safety It s a BIG club and you aint in it George Carlin Resources London Real Digital Freedom Platform Documentary Plandemic released August

Do you wish you could sleep like a log Growing up I remember the adults around me always mentioning how tired they were How they could not sleep nor could they remember when last they had a good night s sleep I also remember thinking that the lack of energy and always tired phenomenon only happened to old people By the time I was thirty I realised that I was THAT old person Wishing for a good night s sleep and complaining when I did not often even feeling anxious on a Sunday night in the hopes for a restful sleep that would energise me enough to carry me through the week As a holistic practitioner when I work with clients I focus on restoring balance to the body mind and soul by balancing the pillars of health Sleep is one of theses pillars and is just as important as exercise and nutrition yet is one of the most neglected pillars resulting in the tiredness and fatigue phenomenon being experienced globally As many as 16 million UK adults are suffering from sleepless nights as a third 31 say they have insomnia initial findings from Aviva s upcoming Wellbeing Report reveal Almost half 48 agree they don t get the right amount of sleep sleep cycle lasts around 90 mins To feel fully rested and refreshed you must experience all four stages A full night s sleep will include five or six cycles while a disturbed and restless night with fewer Strengthening your circadian rhythm with the same wake and sleep time will help regulate the sleep cycle ensuring that you regularly go through all four stages of sleep during your sleep cycles The Golden Hour This is the hour before you are scheduled to go to bed In this hour you practice a series of relaxation habits which are best work for you to ensure you feel relaxed and calm Some helpful things to consider for you Golden hour are1 Switching all screens off and no gadgets in the bedroom So how do we make sure to get the right amount of sleep 2 Having a warm candle lit bath or shower There are three things to consider 1 The Circadian Rhythm 2 The Sleep Cycle and 3 The Golden Hour 3 Making sure your bedroom is softly light with dimmed lights I find Himalayan salt lamps very effective for this The Circadian Rhythm your body clock 4 Practicing some gentle stretches The circadian rhythm which is a 24 hour cycle that regulates all our biological and physiological processes works in harmony with our sleep pressure The circadian rhythm will naturally rise in the early morning promoting wakefulness and alertness and will reach a peak in the evening After a waking period of around 15 hours the pressure to sleep becomes greater and we get tired It is important to remember this fact especially if you have had a lazy sleep in morning then are lying awake in bed before the 15 hours not understanding why you cannot fall asleep Your body clock is influenced by environmental factors such as light dark and temperature hence your body clocks can go off track in winter or when the clocks change This not only disrupts sleeping and eating patterns but also mood and mental alertness If you are wanting to improve quality of sleep it is important that you strengthen your body clock to develop a regular sleep and wake up time Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day even on weekend regulates and strengthens your body clock and with time you will notice that the quality of your sleep improves For some waking up early on the weekend is a bit of a hardship but once you wake up with that joie de vivre feeling you will quite happily make the sacrifice 5 Practicing meditation breathing or relaxation techniques 6 Reading preferably a paper book If you are using a gadget please make sure you have your blue light turned on 7 Journaling out thoughts and emotions of the day you are still carrying 8 Having a note pad on the bedside and writing out your to do list for the next day 9 Using aromatherapy oil pillow sprays or room sprays for sleep calm and relaxation In summing it up to improve our sleep we need to be consistent with our practice of relaxing the body and mind as well as consistent with our new habit of going to bed and waking at the same time Here is to a restful restorative night s sleep and to waking up feeling healthier and happier The Sleep Cycle The sleep cycle is comprised of four stages Non rapid eye movement sleep NREM which is divided into three stages NREM1 NREM2 AND NREM3 and Rapid eye movement REM NREM1 and NREM2 are light phases of sleep from which we can be easily roused and together last 30mins NREM3 becomes deeper and if woken we can feel disorientated and groggy The final stage is the rapid eye movement sleep REM the dreaming stage Each 34 Nicky Robertson Holistic Wellbeing N D Somatology BFRP MAS Creating healthier and happier people www nickyrobertson com

Kidding Around Tyne Valley Out and About this Autumn I did not realise how much you can look forward to the rain until I had a toddler Before he was born I would look out the window and say ugh before sinking into the couch with a blanket and a box set But anyone who has been through the toddler stage knows that this is no longer an option because just as you sit down with a cup of tea they are immediately up to something Chasing the dog around the house unpacking pans from the kitchen drawer and enjoying the clatter as they hit the floor taking a bite out of several pieces from the fruit bowl or chucking toys out of the window just because So you buy them a decent rain suit wellies and pack a change of clothes and out you go into the gale But instead of feeling miserable I am immediately lifted by my little man s look of sheer joy and excitement as he runs towards a huge puddle and splash Or shaking the branch of a tree and opening his mouth to catch the drops of water He waves enthusiastically at passers by woofs at dogs and does not seem to mind when he falls over or when he charges into a ford and the water comes over the top of his wellies As I m trying to keep up I don t even notice the rain or the fact that whatever scrap of make up I put on that morning has been washed away I m smiling from ear to ear loving every minute of being in nature and having the best time with my boy Here are some of our favourite family friendly adventures for all weathers Corbridge You can park for free in the car park at the bottom of Well Bank and then turn right along the river walking for about 30 minutes to eventually reach the English Heritage Roman Ruins before looping back into town It s such a beautiful and easy walk past the ducks past the teenagers throwing themselves into the river from the rope swing past fields of sheep and some incredible land that time forgot vegetation further along At the Roman Ruins they have no issue with my little man running and scrambling about they also welcome you to bring a picnic and have a family loo But I almost left out the most important detail take away coffee and lunch options are in abundance in the village We like an early start usually so a Flat White is a must for Mammy Derwent Walk Rowlands Gill I fondly remember being 9 months pregnant with Bodhi and doing a 2 hour loop around in the hope that he d pop out shortly after no such luck instead it was climbing the steep banks and steps at Jesmond Dene 10 days later that did it I like to park at the Swalwell Visitor Centre or at Land of Oak and Iron Heritage Centre which has a loo and Caf Shrub with great options for kids and a generous veggie brunch We then walk along the path past the swans on the lake and up to the top of the big hill crossing our fingers that we might spot a Red Kite swooping down into the trees having spotted his lunch And the view is so breath taking looking across the Viaduct and onto Lady Liberty in the distance at Gibside is so calming Derwent Reservoir I ve only been there a couple of times but it s a good little walk along from The Boat Shack caf to the visitor centre and back again Bodhi loves to get up close and personal with the sheep roaming freely across our path and I get a lovely feeling in my tummy when I see the reservoir lined with families fishing together 46 Prudhoe Riverside This is right on our doorstep so we do this little jaunt a lot I learned the hard way though and now take Bodhi s wellies with us because there are lots of opportunities to nip into the river for a splash If we re feeling particularly energetic we park beside Tyne River View Caf chocolate crispy cake to die for and revamped play park and then walk all the way along to Wylam Bridge it s such an iconic structure to behold and even better when you walk onto it and are rewarded with the spectacular view down river Northumberland Zoo Formerly known as Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens this is a great little place It s contained and has lots to see indoors and outdoors Bodhi loves the Monkeys I think because he shares such an affinity with them And he s always thrilled to meet a wandering Peacock Northumberland National Park We like to call into The Sill up at Once Brewed and explore Wall Town Country Park a bit further along I feel so lucky to have the National Park close by and for it be accessible and well looked after I really appreciate the loos and take away food and refreshments too Belsay Hall and Gardens We love it here all year round the walk through the old quarry is so magical and full of surprises when it comes to the variety of trees and plants and little nooks for Daddy to jump out from And then there s the Castle and the Hall to run around apologies to anyone who was visiting last time we were there Bodhi discovered how satisfying it was to hear his voice at full volume echo around the Hall Finally no visit would be complete without a warmed through cheese pasty each with a sachet of ketchup yum Further afield Alnwick town and Alnwick Garden On a rainy day everybody and their aunty piles into Barter Books Bodhi loves to climb aboard the train carriage in the kids section as well as do a bit of book rearranging Heading into the Garden is a must for us too I remember our visit last summer as a family it was so special Getting taken by surprise and full on soaked by the fountains sitting all together on the rope swing as a parade of chicks passed underneath and then enjoying a picnic on the huge lawn in the sunshine bliss By the way check out our competition on
