In fact, I love it so much I tend to order it whenever I can. Pan-fried so that thin, crispy fresh egg noodles are browned on both sides, and then served with a shredded chicken sauce, it makes a wonderful finale to any dim sum meal. As with noodles in general, this dish is enjoyable anytime and one can see people eating it throughout the day, not just after dim-sum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It combines the crispy texture of the noodles with the softness and blandness of the chicken breasts. In this recipe the chicken is velveted, that is, coated with egg white and cornflour, to keep the meat moist and tender. The result is a comfort dish elevated to a simple culinary delight.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Serves 4<br \/>\nPreparation time: 30 minutes<br \/>\nCooking time: 25 minutes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients<br \/>\n\u2022 225g boneless chicken breasts, skinned and finely sliced<br \/>\n\u2022 225g dried thin Chinese egg noodles<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tbsp. Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp. Lee Kum Kee Double Deluxe Soy Sauce<br \/>\n\u2022 3 tbsp. groundnut or vegetable oil (for pan frying the noodle)<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tbsp. groundnut or vegetable oil (for pan frying the chicken)<br \/>\n\u2022 175g fresh bean sprouts<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tbsp. shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry<br \/>\n\u2022 300ml chicken stock<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp. cornflour mixed with 1\u00bd tablespoons water<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tsp. salt<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bd tsp. freshly ground black pepper<br \/>\n\u2022 For garnish &#8211; 3 tbsp. spring onions, finely sliced<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For the marinade:<br \/>\n\u2022 1 egg white<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tsp. cornflour<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tsp. salt<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bd tsp. freshly ground white pepper<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Method<br \/>\n1. Combine the chicken, egg white, cornflour, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and leave in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2. Blanch the noodles for 2 minutes in a large pot of salted boiling water or accordingly to the package instructions. Drain them well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3. Heat a large frying pan until it is hot, then add 1\u00bd tablespoons of oil. Spread the noodles over the surface evenly, turn the heat to low and allow the noodles to turn brown slowly. This should take about 5-8 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4. When the noodles are brown, gently flip them over and brown the other side, adding more oil if needed. When both sides are browned, remove the noodles and keep warm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">5. Heat a wok until it is very hot and then add oil. When the oil is very hot, remove the wok from the heat, and immediately add the chicken shreds, stirring vigorously to keep them from sticking. When the chicken pieces turn white (this should take 2 minutes), quickly drain the chicken and all of the oil in a stainless steel colander set in a bowl. Discard the oil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">6. Clean the wok and reheat it over high heat. Now add the bean sprouts, rice wine, Double Deluxe Soy Sauce, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to boil and add the cornflour mixture. Bring it to a simmer again. Return the chicken to the sauce and give the mixture a few stirs. Pour this over the noodles, garnish with the spring onions and serve at once.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ken Hom\u2019s Stir-fried Cucumbers with Hot Spices<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413318 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/popl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"458\" height=\"686\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThis is a simple stir-fried cucumber dish inspired from my trips to western China. Once the ingredients are assembled, it is very quick to cook and the chilli oil and ginger contrast well with the cool, crisp cucumber. Once you get into the habit of cooking cucumbers, you will be delighted by their transformation into a greater tasting vegetable.\u201d \u2013 Ken Hom<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Serves 4<br \/>\nPreparation time: 30 minutes<br \/>\nCooking time: 5 minutes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ingredients:<br \/>\n\u2022 750g cucumbers (about 2)<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tsp Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tbsp spring onions, finely sliced<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tsp salt (1 for marinating, 2 for cooking)<br \/>\n\u2022 \u00bd tsp freshly ground black pepper<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tsp sugar<br \/>\n\u2022 120ml water<br \/>\n\u2022 For garnish &#8211; chopped coriander<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Method<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">1. Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthways then use a teaspoon to remove the seeds. Cut the cucumbers into 2cm dice then sprinkle them with the salt and mix well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2. Put the mixture into a colander and let it sit for 20 minutes to drain. This rids the cucumber of any excess liquid. When the cucumber cubes have drained, rinse them in water and then blot them dry with kitchen paper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3. Heat a wok or large frying-pan over high heat until it is hot. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the ginger and spring onions and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">4. Add the cucumbers, Black Bean Garlic Sauce, Chiu Chow Chilli Oil, salt, pepper and sugar and stir for another 30 seconds until they are well coated with the spices and flavourings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">5. Add the water and continue to stir-fry over a high heat for 3-4 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and the cucumbers are cooked. At this point, add the Pure Sesame Oil and garnish with coriander.

Put the slices into a small bowl and mix them well with the Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry, soy sauce, sesame oil and cornflour. Let them marinade for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2. Heat a wok or large frying-pan until it is hot.

Then transfer to a colander set on a bowl.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3. Wipe the wok clean, re-heat it and add the rest of the oil. Then add the spring onions and shallots.

He stated that &#8220;It will be like a dream come true to fight at such a special venue in front of 4,000 people &#8211; having seen fights by champion boxers like Carl Froch, to step into that ring is an honour that many boxers don&#8217;t get to achieve in their careers&#8221;.

However, the Albion Bath Company are a perfect example of how a beautifully designed tub can work in a whole range of styles, from the classic to the contemporary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547923 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/3b2b7f54-77bf-4608-907f-208c270f7d4b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"945\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The freestanding bath is a staple of a traditional bathroom, but as more and more people move towards contemporary schemes, they are being found in a much wider range of decor. Here, the Albion Bath Company looks at how each and every bathroom can benefit from the luxury and style of a freestanding tub.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Traditional<br \/>\nWhen it comes to the traditional bathroom, choose a classically inspired free-standing bath with generous dimensions. If the room layout allows, place the tub towards the centre of the room and, to be really creative, position the tub so you can view one&#8217;s estate while bathing!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">However, many of these spaces are not as grandly proportioned \u2013 especially when it comes to older houses. Tubby baths from Albion are short and compact while still being deep enough to for a truly satisfying bathing experience even in a small space. Plan carefully and even a small country cottage bathroom can be beautiful, functional and luxurious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contemporary<br \/>\nIf you\u2019ve got your heart set on a more contemporary look, you don\u2019t have to abandon the dream of a freestanding bath. Albion have a collection of baths with a more modern feel, focusing on crisp, clean lines to help you create a stylish and practical scheme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One way to create a contemporary, up to date scheme to incorporate a bath in a bold colour. We\u2019ve seen customers combine a brightly coloured bath with a feature wall for a statement look, while others make a statement by making a metallic bath the star of the show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">No matter what kind of bathroom you\u2019re imagining, the experts at The Albion Bath Company are always on hand to advise you on the perfect product to help you make it a reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Zodiac Nautic Introduces Brand Tagline: \u201cKeep Exploring\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547922 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ibg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"294\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Zodiac Nautic, the world leader in inflatable products and services for boating with more than a million customers, unveils its brand tagline today at the 2018 Miami International Boat Show: \u201cKeep Exploring\u201d.

Having been one of the trailblazers to galvanize the base behind the now multi-billion- dollar industry of eSports, Owen has been working diligently toward achieving this moment for nearly two decades, with outlets like Bloomberg.com recognizing him as \u201ca pioneer of the video gaming industry.\u201d In fact, Paris intends to include eSports in the 2024 Olympic Games\u2014a development that underscores Owen\u2019s many achievements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The potential introduction of eSports offers the Olympic Movement a game-changing activity to fulfill its own Charter that \u201cthe practice of sport is a human right\u201d. Whilst many Olympic sports favor young athletes who spend a lifetime preparing with a specialist regime in a national athletic organization, eSports offers a potential democratization and broader participation in being short- listed to participate. PlayAPI\u2019s Ted Owen emphasized that, \u201cwhilst traditional athletic events may involve at most several hundred athletes being shortlisted for a particular event, eSports could potentially involve millions of individuals competing for a spot on their 2024 eSports national Olympic team\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Between 1993 and 2017, serial video game entrepreneur Owen launched several innovative companies. An early venture Owen, Diaz &amp; Actshul financed several early stage companies in the video game industry such as 3DO and Spectrum Holobyte which gave Owen an entr\u00e9e into understanding the complexities of the industry and first-mover insights into how to grow user participation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Not content with investing and advising Owen also launched several groundbreaking ventures. Game Dealer (which led to UGO) and Professional Interactive Entertainment Inc. which became Global Gaming League (GGL), the World\u2019s first professional online gaming community. Some of GGL\u2019s many achievements were to incorporate an eSports event into The Gravity Games and broadcast play-by-play coverage of the eSports scene and community through GGL\u2019s media division, Epileptic Gaming (a precursor to Twitch), all aiming at making e-sports more accessible to the mainstream. During his time as CEO of Global Gaming League, Owen made a name for himself in the video gaming community leading to his latest endeavor &#8211; PlayAPI \u2013 which has the capability to create and maintain fair play between global eSports participants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Owen\u2019s campaign to bring competitive eSports to the Olympics began over a decade ago, in 2006, when he participated in talks initially with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and then the Chinese government to introduce video games as a sport during the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing with a Global Gaming League Exhibition event being held prior to the Games. Although the idea was slow to catch-on, with the rapid rise in competitive gaming and popularity of eSports (some 680m streams of video games were watched in the past year alone), officials on reflection are now giving credence to what Owen has been suggesting all along.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to say \u2018no\u2019 from the beginning. I think it\u2019s interesting to interact with the IOC, with them, the e-sports family, to better understand what the process is and why it is such a success,\u201d the co-president of the Paris Olympic bid committee, Tony Estanguet, told the AP. PlayAPI\u2019s Ted Owen commented,\u201c eSports offers the Paris Olympics the ability to break new ground in becoming a truly global phenomenon in 2024. Handled correctly, eSports can provide a truly global, fair platform for everyone to compete in \u2013 what more could the IOC and Paris hope for in meeting the aspirations of the Olympic Charter\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Owen\u2019s influence on the largest entertainment form in the world both predicted and contributed to what is now the largest sport in the world: e-sports. He has again positioned himself as an entrepreneur to watch now and in the years leading up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Irish Beauty Samantha Mumba to present an Award at The Toscars in Hollywood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547920 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/itr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Brits in LA are excited to announce that comedian and actress Lucie Pohl will host this years Toscars.

Its healing and warming properties have been sworn-by for centuries and used in ointments, balms and tinctures \u2013 even in jewellery claiming to relieve pain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The ointment contains minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium, as well as organic compounds combined with iodine, volatile substances and resin acids which are all believed to have a positive influence on our health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Baltic amber also contains up to 8% succinic acid, a bio-stimulant which activates cell metabolism and shows anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Succinic acid is also found in various food ingredients including gooseberries, apples, grapes and turnips. However, Baltic amber contains a thousand times more succinic acid than even rhubarb stalks, the food richest in the acid!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-417643 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/amber-418235_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Beneficial for massage and after exercise, Amber Ointment can be applied several times a day to joints and muscles. Terpenes, found in Baltic amber in large quantities, have warming abilities which help to loosen up muscles around the joints as well as improving blood circulation. They also have the ability to stimulate sensory nerve endings, therefore extending blood vessels and increasing skin blood flow, which can be beneficial in pain reduction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Free from artificial colours, preservatives and parabens, Amber Ointment is also an effective moisturiser and is nourishing and soothing for the skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now available in the UK, Amber Ointment (35g) costs \u00a36.99 and is available from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthy2u.co.uk\">www.healthy2u.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-417641 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/heart-1202129_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-417644 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/sky-264778_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-417642 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/amber-669470_960_720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"911\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tell a Story with Classical Pieces from Shimu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547913 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ixx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"544\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Classical Chinese furniture has a timeless appeal that never goes out of style. Steeped in tradition and admired for its elegance and beauty, these time-honoured pieces instantly evoke feelings of peace and calm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Shimu\u2019s signature range of traditional Chinese furniture is handcrafted from reclaimed elm and includes reproductions from China&#8217;s golden age, as well as contemporary designs inspired by the same period. From larger pieces of furniture to accessories, there are a huge range of products to choose from, meaning any room in the home can benefit from a hint of timeless Chinese style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of the most fascinating things about Chinese furniture is the tradition and history behind it. Many of Shimu\u2019s classical pieces have a story which will fascinate your guests and add an extra dimension to their beauty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The two pieces above are fantastic examples of this. The Square Daybed Table in Warm Elm (above left) is based on the original design of Chinese daybeds, reduced in size to fit into today\u2019s modern homes. Daybeds were used in Chinese homes as seating during the day and for sleeping on at night. They were often made with solid wooden frames but with either rattan or woven top panels to add comfort.<br \/>\nAnd who could ignore the beautiful, intricate designs of the Black Lacquer Alter Table (above right)? Again, this has been made smaller and more practical for modern western homes, but still retains the beautiful style and carvings of the original pieces. Chinese altar tables were not only used for holding offerings to ancestors, but also as more general surfaces to display flowers, vases or other prized possessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For the more romantic amongst us, take a look at these classic Chinese wedding cabinets. Traditionally, these large cabinets or armoires were presented as part of a bride&#8217;s wedding dowry. The contents of the cabinet &#8211; fabrics, clothes and silks, also formed part of the dowry. Just like these stunning reproductions, the cabinets were usually in either red or black lacquer and decorated with large, circular brass plates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Last but certainly not least, Shimu\u2019s collection of Apothecary chests are certainly not to be missed, combining stunning traditional design with practicality for the modern home. Multi drawer medicine chests were used by apothecaries and pharmacists throughout China, and were ideal for holding herbs and other remedies. The larger ones were referred to as \u2018hundred eye chests\u2019 due to the multitude of drawers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All of these treasures and more can be found within Shimu\u2019s classical collection. Their passionate team of experts are always on hand to help you fully appreciate the centuries of tradition and love behind every piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jazz up your garden this spring and be sure to make all your friends green with envy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With Flying Tiger, glam gardening is a thing of the future and we can&#8217;t wait to get our green fingers going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547912 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/pin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"207\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Available From Flying Tiger Stores Nationwide &#8211; gb.flyingtiger.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>With a third of the UK population identifying as \u2018flexitarian\u2019, supermarkets and restaurants across the UK are bolstering their vegetarian and vegan ranges amid signs that plant-based eating is becoming increasingly mainstream.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In response to increasing market demand, Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury\u2019s, Ocado and Asda have all announced vegan range launches since the start of the year, but as Planet Organic has thousands of vegan products, its next logical step was to create a vegan-exclusive shop where consumers can easily shop thousands of vegan products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Since its first store opened in 1995, Planet Organic has been providing choice to consumers with free-from needs and dietary requirements, and it estimates that at least 70 per cent of its customers follow a defined diet.

Reubyn is the current English open surfing champion and two-time European Champion.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547910 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ddf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Growing up in Cornwall in a family of surfers, Reubyn started surfing with his father when he was only a toddler. So it was no surprise that by the time he was 18 he was English and British champion in every category from the under 12\u2019s to the open division. He also became European junior champion in the under 14 and under 18 divisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It was around this time that he started to develop his aerial act and he is now seen by many as the best aerialist in Europe, pushing himself to go harder, faster and higher each time he goes out. He invented a manoeuvre called \u201ca front side backflip 540 aerial\u201d which is as impressive as it sounds. He is a member of the British team set to compete in the run up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics where surfing will be included for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Last year Reubyn added a second English Open Surfing Champion as well as UK Pro Surfing Tour Champion to his many titles. And to round off a great year he qualified as a lifeguard and surf coach and then opened his own surf school in his beloved Cornwall enabling him to share his passion for the sport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cIt is important to me to break boundaries and take risks in the pursuit of my sport,\u201d said Ash, \u201cand to be involved with a company like Formex who do the same with the design and development of their incredible watches is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Formex Watches are designed to withstand challenging environments making them perfect for extreme sportsman. They are completely Swiss designed and made; a fusion of high performance materials such as stainless steel, titanium grade 2, ceramic, carbon-fibre and very reliable Swiss Made movements. One of the most unique aspects of a Formex is its patented case suspension system. Inspired by the world of high performance bikes and racing cars, this cushion concept protects the watch movement from strong impacts or vibrations and makes the watch incredibly comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Formex name is a combination of the two French words \u201cforme extr\u00e8me\u201d meaning extreme fitness or sport and the unique shapes and designs developed by the brand. These indestructible watches, arguably the most affordable high-end watches ever made, are sold exclusively online through their website https:\/\/www.formexwatch.com. One of the main reasons for the competitive pricing is that Formex eliminated retail margins, when they moved to a direct-to-consumer business model in 2016, effectively cutting their prices in half and transferring this added value entirely to their customers. Formex offer all-inclusive pricing, a free return policy, an extended warranty and an Augmented Reality App that lets you try on the watches virtually on your wrist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Raphael Granito, Formex CEO, said of the partnership, \u201cWe are thrilled to be teaming up with Reubyn.

Fresh out of college, Lawrence Wu created a hot sauce that he believed could be the next iconic condiment. It was his goal to create not just a spicy hot sauce, but a delicious blend of exotic spices that can add flavor to every meal from sunrise to sunset. After perfecting his recipe, Wu set out on the internet to build his brand. Engaging thousands of Reddit users to try his delicious recipe and give him honest feedback, Wu launched WUJU out into the world to truly phenomenal acclaim. In 2015, Wu ran a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, which fueled WUJU\u2019s early days. Today WUJU Hot Sauce is available in some of the country\u2019s largest chains across the country.<\/p>\n<p>True to its artisanal roots, WUJU Hot Sauce\u2019s first label was created by Wu\u2019s sister. Wu loves the original label, but because they are beginning to see an uptick in mainstream demand, Lawrence decided WUJU needed to expand upon its roots. Lawrence hired QNY Creative, who have worked with behemoth brands like Levi\u2019s and Ferrari, to design brilliant new packaging for WUJU Hot Sauce. WUJU Hot Sauce\u2019s original logo was inspired by a photo of Lawrence\u2019s friend Cody looking out into the sunset. Wu lost Cody to cancer several years back, but his positive outlook and bravery in the face of the horrible disease remain core inspirations for Wu in his own life and business. WUJU Hot Sauce\u2019s new packaging design fully integrates Cody\u2019s sunset into the logo and package design and also includes all of the labeling requirements to support mass distribution.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m really happy with our new packaging,\u201d says WUJU founder Lawrence Wu, \u201cWUJU is now ready to take the mainstream marketplace by storm.\u201d<br \/>\nWUJU Hot Sauce is available for purchase in select Whole Foods, Safeway, Kroger, Albertsons, Central Market and in natural food stores nationwide as well as online on Amazon and wujuhotsauce.com. WUJU Hot Sauce is available in 5 oz. bottles in original and extra hot and can be purchased in a single bottle or packages of 6 or 12. Suggested retail for one 5oz bottle is $4.99.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-417761 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/filt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"279\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In remembrance of Lawrence\u2019s dear friend Cody who lost his life after a fierce battle with cancer and for his mother who is currently battling cancer WUJU Hot Sauce helps fund, support and provide hot sauce for Cook for Your Life\u2019s Hope Lodge Program cooking classes and dinners created for people touched by cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About WUJU Hot Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2014 by Lawrence Wu, WUJU Hot Sauce is a thai-inspired hot sauce made with 16 all natural ingredients including spices and flavors like agave nectar, mango, curry, and more.

UNiDAYS, the world\u2019s largest student affinity network, can reveal that 43% of UK students are now living at home. Some 39% say it\u2019s due to being unable to afford the expense of moving out, as tuition fees and other living costs continue to rise. This means that of the 2.28m* students in the UK, 980,000 of those are forced to live at home and are losing out on friendships and independence, the research discloses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The research revealed that students who live at home feel as though they have a worse quality of life compared to those that have flown the nest.1 Those that live at home attribute this lower quality of life to the lack of independence (59% say they\u2019re missing out on this), missing out on valuable life experiences (46%), not being able to form new friendships (39%) and even being able to find love (15%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When students stay at home, it costs parents dear. A 2017 study by banking firm Aldermore found that those over 18 living at home increase parents\u2019 outgoings by \u00a34,996 a year2, which over a three-year period at university adds up to almost \u00a315,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Hollie Bidwell, a student at the University of Nottingham said: \u201cThe decision for me to stay at home whilst I complete my studies made sense. With the substantial cost of tuition, I didn\u2019t want to have to take on increased debt to fund my living expenses whilst at university, hence my choice to stay closer to home to study. Luckily, I have very supportive parents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cYes, I may miss out on some forms of independence and at times I have missed out on the social element of living with friends or in halls, for me though the savings really outweigh this!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mai Fenton, Marketing Director at UNiDAYS commented: \u201cIt\u2019s no surprise, with the rising cost of living and staggering tuition fees, that many students are just unable to afford the cost of living away from home whilst at university.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThis highlights the need for careful budgeting and savvy spending over the course of your studies. We at UNiDAYS are passionate about supporting students and are always on the lookout for new partners that will help ease the burden on students of rising costs for university essentials and make their money last longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">UNiDAYS is a must-have for savvy students looking to save money, both for those living at home and those studying away from home. Using the latest verification technology, the network instantly confirms student status for those at college and university. The UNiDAYS app is available to download on iOS and Android devices for free, and is the ultimate student lifestyle app offering exclusive discounts from the biggest, most-loved brands essential for student life, including Apple, Microsoft, Ryman, Iceland, Waterstones and many more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">1Students were asked to rate their current quality of life out of 10. Those who stayed at home rated their quality of life at 6.9, while those who\u2019ve flown the nest gave a score of 7.3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2 Research conducted by Aldermore in May 2017 &#8211; https:\/\/www.aldermore.co.uk\/about-us\/newsroom\/2017\/06\/the-first-time-buyer-burden-parents-spend-201-billion-a-year-supporting-their-adult-children\/<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-420697 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/eeeeeeek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"87\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Inessa Wellness Launches Advanced Multi-Vitamin<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inessawellness.com\">www.inessawellness.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-420694 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/awwwa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"617\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Inessa Wellness Advanced Multivitamin is a company founded by Aliza Marogy, who has shared her own story on her struggle for good health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Aliza\u2019s story<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Aliza suffers with an auto-immune condition named Ulcerative Colitis, which causes severe inflammation of the rectum and colon. Sufferers can experience severe symptoms which include agonising abdominal pain, frequent emptying of bowels and chronic fatigue, among others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Aliza was misdiagnosed until the age of 18, by which time her symptoms had worsened and she was prescribed a heavy dose of steroids, plus a lifetime maintenance drug to suppress the immune system. On the medication, Aliza developed a tremor, lost a significant amount of weight, lost nearly all of her hair and faced the prospect of a colostomy bag.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-420692 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/asa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Desperate for another solution, Aliza told the doctor she would do her own research, and try a change of diet based on what she found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Astonishingly, and to the doctor\u2019s surprise, Aliza\u2019s strict new diet meant that her condition stabilised. He insisted she would still need an operation, but Aliza stood firm. Within a year, Aliza was in full remission- confirmed by a full colonoscopy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Aliza\u2019s personal experiences, in which typical medicine failed her and the doctors were at a loose end, motivated her to become a qualified Nutritional Therapist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Founding of Inessa Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Years on, Aliza founded Inessa Wellness, working with a GMB certified lab to create a high-quality multivitamin that has all the nutrients you need in one tablet. The aim was to set aside the need to buy multiple products for different issues, and Aliza scouted the UK to find a lab that could put all the nutrients into one tablet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Years of research have gone into a product that the body will benefit from; every inch of this multi vitamin has been thought about, from the recommended dosages to actually have an impact, all the way down to the coating. Inessa\u2019s vitamins are orange with a strong smell; that\u2019s because they aren\u2019t coated with the usual titanium dioxide which is a carcinogenic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To find out more, head to the website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inessawellness.com\/\">www.inessawellness.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-420693 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ppbc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"454\" \/> \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-420695 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/zzzsz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Through the Looking Glass with MY Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-547902 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ess-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"586\" height=\"301\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mirrors can do so much more than simply show your reflection.

Even a small shortfall in magnesium intake can seriously impair athletic performance and increase chance of injury.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/betteryou.com\/health-matters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Transdermal-Magnesium-Trial-paper.pdf\">Studies<\/a> have shown that magnesium absorbed through the skin works five times faster than tablets. The mineral gets taken in through the pores and directly into the blood vessels and muscles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cBy building a performance and recovery routine using our magnesium bath flakes, body sprays, gel and lotion, the players are able to easily absorb high amounts of this vital mineral through the skin without experiencing the laxative effect which is often associated with high dosage oral supplementation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JqaVbYFjkIs\" width=\"615\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cWe are also supplementing the players with vitamins D, K2 (MK-7) and B12, which are vital for bone and heart health along with building immunity and boosting energy levels. By taking these vitamins in oral spray form, the players are guaranteed the ultimate convenience (as they don\u2019t need to be taken with food or water) and absorption bypassing the digestive system. <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritionj.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12937-015-0105-1\">Research<\/a> has shown that vitamin absorption via an oral spray is 2.5 times more effective than vitamin capsules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Commenting on the new partnership, Dr Jason Davidson, Head of Athletic Performance at Leeds Rhinos said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cIt\u2019s important that the guys recover properly after games and training to ensure they can perform at their best. BetterYou Magnesium is an essential part of the team\u2019s recovery and performance preparations. It helps them relieve muscle tension, increases their strength, supports energy production, and aids with sleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cOur partnership with BetterYou has allowed us to get an in-depth understanding of each players nutrient requirements, helping us to tailor their vitamin and mineral supplementation to ensure they are in peak condition. The purity of the source, quality, and effectiveness of the products are what makes BetterYou products superior to anything else on the market. Our players deserve the best and that is exactly what they are getting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">BetterYou will be supporting the first team on their trip to the 2018 World Club Challenge in Melbourne in February.

the colder months and now research from the University of Manchester points to a direct correlation between colder, wet weather and increased joint pain and stiffness: bad weather, particularly rain and a lack of sunshine, can make chronic pain worse[i].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">According to Georges M Halpern, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the University of California, Davis, Green Lipped Mussel Oil Extract is \u201cthe most powerful anti-inflammatory available and its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving action is superior to any conventional pharmaceutical medicine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Formulated to help with chronic joint pain and inflammation, Pernol\u2019s main active ingredient is a patented, highly purified 99% stabilised pharmaceutical grade oil, extracted from the Green Lipped Mussels (Perna canaliculus) that are exclusive to the New Zealand coastline along the South Island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Perna is a great source of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), a naturally occurring glucosamine, which is one of the most widely-used ingredients for joint health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In healthy joints glucosamine occurs naturally and is used to repair cartilage, the slippery material that cushions the end of bones. Over time your body becomes less able to replace new cartilage to counteract any loss, allowing insufficiently-cushioned bone to rub together causing inflammation, pain and stiffness. Excessive sporting wear and tear, through running or cycling for example, can also accelerate this process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pernol is 100% natural and safe and there are no known side effects or interactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It costs from \u00a318.95 for 30 capsules and is available exclusively from Stirling Health on 0845 450 1471 or online from www.stirling-health.net.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8216;Auto-Pilot&#8217; parents have a whopping 22 tasks to complete BEFORE they<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>leave the house and spend 14.5 hours dedicated to family life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Case study and expert spokesperson available if of interest, please email to find out more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Families are suffering from a deficit in spending quality time together, with the average British mum dedicating a staggering 14.5 HOURS A DAY (60 percent) undertaking tasks for the family, with modern dads just behind with 10 HOURS (42 percent)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">According to research from Dorset Cereals, it is not surprising that we don\u2019t have time to slow down and enjoy family time, the average parent has a whopping 22 household tasks to complete each day BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE HOUSE. With mums undertaking 25 chores a day and dads also tackling an impressive 18, it isn\u2019t surprising to hear that a staggering 83 percent regularly feel at their wits end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The poll of 2,000 mums and dads unveiled that the rat race of the modern age has forced time-strapped parents to juggle both family life and career, leaving 71 percent of parents feeling \u201cdisconnected\u201d from their family due to their fast and busy lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A new wave of parents has been identified following the research revealing, eight out of ten have confessed they feel like they are on \u2018autopilot\u2019 most days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dubbed the \u2018Auto-parent\u2019, this modern breed has declared that \u2018being on auto\u2019 is the only way to get them through a hectic day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Although we have modern technology and services at our finger tips, it looks like we are STILL following in the footsteps of our parents\u2019generation and facing the same challenges they did. While certain aspects of the parenting process have become easier, parents reveal life has got no less stressful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Over two thirds of mums and dads declared that they feel pressure to become the \u201cperfect parent\u201d and have everything in control like they felt their parents did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Constant cleaning and tidying emerged as the biggest bug bear, with almost half (48 percent) saying if they could transfer the responsibility to someone else, they would. Ironing the school uniform came second (14 percent) followed by emptying the bins and taking out the rubbish (12 percent).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Nearly half (49 percent) said that breakfast is the most stressful part of the day, with the daily rush to get out of the door taking its toll. Sitting down for breakfast was once norm for previous generation, however modern life has made this fall from the morning agenda, withjust 8 percent making the time to come together to enjoy breakfast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To help facilitate time for families to come together, Dorset Cereals and Molly Maids have partnered together to donate over 100 hours of cleaning time to ease some of the daily burden.
