Welcome to the February edition of Shoparound magazine. I would like to start off by thanking all at Birmingham City Council, the local NHS, West Midlands Police, West Midlands Fire Authority and, most of all, the many contributing businesses, who all have provided their support in publishing this community monthly magazine since October 2012. I would also like to personally thank all our staff members for their continued hard work in making sure that the magazine is printed and distributed on time.

Well, were officially two month into 2013 right around the time when most of us are either feeling pretty positive about our New Years resolutions or ready to throw them out the window entirely

We at Shoparound are pretty positive the Shoparound magazine will help our local businesses achieve their goals.

Shoparound is pleased to announce that the online version of the magazine will be available at www.shoparoundin.com from this month.

If you would like to advertise on the website, please contact us on: info@shoparoundin.com

TWO West Midlands Police officers are to be awarded the forces top honour for extreme bravery in tackling a knifeman who doused his partner with white spirit before threatening to torch her home.

PCs Ben Taylor and Jasvir Rattan will collect Chief Constables Commendations at a special ceremony tomorrow night (Jan 16) in recognition of their actions in disarming the 38-year-old before he was able to carry out his threats.And theyll be joined by fellow Commendation recipients PC Andrew Pooler and PC Bruce Howell who pick up the accolade for arresting a machete-wielding man who threatened passers-by in Nechells.The award is the highest honour achievable within the force and only awarded to officers whove displayed extreme bravery, often when confronted by armed offenders.PCs Taylor and Rattan were first on the scene at a domestic incident in Bradley on the night of January 12 last year after a woman dialled 999 saying her partner had sprayed turpentine over her and was waving a lighter around.They spotted him drinking in the back garden but, when they approached, the suspect pulled a knife from his pocket and shouted you aint arresting me a claim swiftly proved wrong as the officers wrestled him to the ground and prised the knife from his grasp.A citation to be presented during the ceremony reads: You both displayed the highest level of courage and tenacitythrowing yourselves into a clearly dangerous situation to protect a member of the public who was understandably very scared.

This was a violent, armed individual but following a brief struggle you managed to disarm him and bring the situation to a safe conclusion.

PCs Pooler and Howell were responding to emergency calls on March 18 last year reporting a man brandishing a machete in a Nechells street.Having made local enquiries they were directed to a house where they discovered a man barricaded inside.Fearful that the mans father was also in the house, and potentially in danger, the officers forced entry and overpowered the suspect; a search of the house later uncovered a stash of weapons including a crossbow and coshes.Inspector David Keen, said: Several members of the public approached me at the scene and praised the officers bravery, plus their restraint and professionalism in the midst of extreme incitement.They specifically pointed out the sensitive, humane way they dealt with the man adding that they were clearly mindful he was suffering mental ill-heath.

The officers decisive action prevented what could otherwise have escalated into a siege situation.

A 45-year-old man was subsequently charged with possessing an offensive weapon and a racially-aggravated public order offence. He was jailed for a total of 15 months.

Birmingham will be one of the best connected cities in the UK providing jobs and economic growth right across the West Midlands, transport minister Stephen Hammond said today (January 28).Mr Hammond visited Birmingham for a tour of the proposed HS2 station site at Moor Street in the city centre as plans for phase 2 were unveiled by the Government linking Birmingham with Manchester and Leeds.Birmingham and the West Midlands can take advantage of being right at the centre of the high-speed rail network and the benefits it will bring to the existing rail and road network through released capacity, Mr Hammond said.HS2 is vital as an engine for growth in the UK and the West Midlands will be at the heart of that.Birmingham City Council cabinet member for development, jobs and skills, Cllr Tahir Ali said: The announcement of phase 2 is great news for Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region bringing jobs, delivering tremendous opportunities for growth and investment, and improving transport infrastructure.Centro chief executive Geoff Inskip said journey times between Birmingham and Manchester and Leeds would be halved by HS2.This provides a real economic boost and releases capacity on our crowded existing network for more local, regional and freight services, he said.Were excited because were right at the heart of this network and the challenge for us now is to get the very best return we can from HS2.Birmingham Chamber of Commerce chief executive Jerry Blackett added: Fast direct high speed rail connections and lower operating costs will make the West Midlands which will be at the heart of a network stretching from London to Scotland an increasingly attractive alternative to the overheated South East for business investment.Todays announcement of HS2 phase 2 connects the West Midlands with the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West, linking eight of the UKs ten biggest cities.HS2 will cut Birmingham to Manchester journey times from the current 1h 31m to 41m and Birmingham to Leeds from 2h to 57m.Independent research reveals phase one of HS2 (from Birmingham to London) will generate 22,000 jobs in the West Midlands and deliver 1.5bn per year to the regional economy.

Women smokers are five times more likely to be killed by their habit today than in the 1960s, The Sun has reported, while BBC News reports that female smoking death risk has soared.

These headlines are based on a recent study that assessed the trends in mortality between smokers and non-smokers in the US across several decades.

The authors of the research found an increasing difference in mortality between women smokers and women non-smokers since the 1960s (this means that compared to their risk in the 60s, women who smoke today appear to have even higher risk of dying compared to their non-smoking counterparts).

The increase could be explained by what could be termed the Mad Men effect increasingly from the 60s, womens smoking habits have been more like mens in that they are starting at a younger age and smoking more per day. As the authors put it: Women who smoke like men, will die like men, that is they have been dying more commonly of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Risk of death among non-smokers may also be decreasing due to advancements in treating common diseases. So non-smokers may be living longer, while smokers lifespans are remaining relatively short.

The good news is that a related study found that quitting at any age dramatically reduced death rates, and quitting before the age of 40 reduced the risk of smoking-related deaths by 90%.

Overall, the results of this study are hardly earth-shattering smoking is still bad for you and quitting smoking is probably the best thing you can do for your health.

Smoking-related death risk for women is now similar to men's
