No music, doodling or photos or for a week for the Usher family
A north east family have endured a week without art as part of the Arts Council’s efforts to demonstrate that people take part in lots of art throughout their daily lives, sometimes without realising it – and just how important art is to a full life.
Fiona Usher and her daughters Julia and Amber agreed to keep a video diary as they were challenged to live without art for a week. From flute lessons to drawing and reading, the family had to go without any arts activities, which proved to be much harder than they anticipated. After the week finished the Usher family took back their books and pens and visited arts venues including Dance City and BALTIC while enjoying workshops with local artists.

Don't Judge a Woman by her Cover New research shows young women expect men to judge them mostly on their appearance, while mature ladies know it’s how YOU feel inside that counts.
It seems that young women weren’t listening when their mothers told them, “it’s what’s on the inside that counts”. Women in their 20s and 30s, more than any other age group, expect to be judged on their physical appearance, according to new research out today.
Contrary to what people say about inner beauty, over half of the young women surveyed (53%) feel they are judged on their physical appearance, compared to just over a third (36%) of women aged 56 or over. A third (38%) will rely on their intellect to make a good first impression, compared to half (50%) of their older, and perhaps wiser, counterparts.

‘2010’ dads really do want to spend time with the baby
Campaign launches to remind dads of their rights at work Flexible working is increasingly important to modern dads who want to take care of their children, according to figures published today by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). More than half (56%) of dads surveyed with children 16 and under said that they would look for an employer who offers flexible working when choosing a new job.The overwhelming majority (91%) of dads with children aged five or under believe it is important that fathers have the option to take paid paternity leave. Nearly two thirds (62%) believe a dad’s relationship with their child will suffer if they are not at home after the baby is born.
Being Dad gives real-life pregnancy and birthing advice that men can relate to, and will want to watch
“Darling ... I’m pregnant.” However you choose to share the news, those three little words have rocked millions of men to the core, turning their lives upside down, and changing their title instantly to “dad”. However, fathers- to-be now have nothing to fear with the release of the ground-breaking and often humorous DVD – Being Dad!
As always at this time of year, our families are creating more than the usual load of dirty washing, which means more strain on the Washing Machine and tumble dryer while the weather is as cold and as wet as the recent weeks have been. While this is putting a strain on our budget, this also puts more strain on the environment too. We can all do our bit to help. Try washing on a lower temperature, dry your clothes outside when you get the chance, or use a clothes drying rack. Another way to help is by buying a smaller concentrated package of washing liquid. Look out for the environmentally friendly washing balls, they can be used over and over again. The average British family gets through 247 washing loads a year and with each costing about 33p, their yearly washing powder bill amounts to nearly £82. Although it doesn't seem like a lot, replacing it with Ecoballs ™ costing 3p per wash, they could be saving a massive £74 per year. When replacing your Washing Machine look out for a more economic design, one with options such as Half load or cool wash. A new washing machine generally is more lean running, and should also be more kind to your Electricity bill too! To buy Ecoballs ™ and other eco friendly products please click here...
