The first article will explore the landmark<br />
of Castle Hill. Castle Hill is an iconic<br />
view in Huddersfield that everyone is familiar<br />
with. It is a symbol of home for many, as it<br />
is visible from many points within the town.<br />
Castle Hill is universally known to those who<br />
live in Huddersfield but how well is its history<br />
known?<br />

Castle Hill has become a protected<br />
archaeological site, as it has historical remains<br />
aging back to the late Bronze Age – meaning<br />
it holds over 4000 years of history! During its<br />
early history it is thought to have been a site of<br />
camping for hunters and gatherers. During the<br />
12th Century it became a site of fortification<br />
with the establishment of a castle and<br />
settlement yet was soon abandoned in the 14th<br />
century. Castle Hill found its new purpose in<br />
the early 19th century as it became integrated<br />
into a network of warning beacons.<br />
Its most recent historical relevance created<br />
the landmark we all recognise today. In 1899<br />
to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond<br />
Jubilee the Victoria Tower was built and<br />
remains to this day as a permanent memorial<br />
to her reign.<br />

Responsibilities<br />
4 5<br />
Rights<br />
Rights and<br />
responsibilities are two of the main foundations of<br />
our modern society, but they are rarely discussed.<br />
Young people of today aren’t educated or made<br />
aware of their rights; putting them in a vulnerable<br />
position to be taken advantage of and at risk<br />
of having their rights violated. Similarly, many<br />
people are unaware of their social responsibilities<br />
meaning they are often neglected, but this can be<br />
easily solved. With this article we aim to enlighten<br />
the unknowing on their social entitlements and<br />
responsibilities.<br />
> What is hunam rights?<br />
According to the Equality and Human Rights<br />
Commission, human rights are ‘the basic rights and<br />
freedoms that belong to every person in the world<br />
from birth until death.’ Rights are a central aspect of<br />
protecting our humanity, yet how much do we know<br />
about our rights? Human rights are built around the<br />
inherent values of society, based upon qualities such<br />
as, equality, fairness and respect. The Declaration of<br />
Human Rights lists 30 articles, including rights such<br />
as, ‘Everyone has a right to life, liberty and security<br />
of person’ (Article 3), ‘Everyone is presumed<br />
innocent until proven guilty’ (Article 11) and<br />
‘Everyone has freedom of opinion and expression’<br />
(Article 19).<br />
> The importance of rights<br />
Human rights should be universally applied,<br />
regardless of your background, beliefs or way of<br />
life and they can never be taken away. However,<br />
how far is theory put into practice? As there are<br />
many examples in history of when rights have been<br />
taken away from people, based on such criteria.<br />
The importance of educating people on their rights<br />
is reinforced by the events of the past. Thus, as<br />
a society it is important to know our rights and<br />
responsibilities in order to empower ourselves and<br />
others, to ensure that they cannot be taken away in<br />
the present or the future.<br />
> The difference between rights and<br />
responsibility<br />
While rights are established in law, responsibilities<br />
reflect more upon the expectations of society.<br />
Moral and ethical practice takes the place of law<br />
when discussing responsibilities. However, nobody<br />
is legally bound to responsibilities, yet ethically<br />
individuals are accountable for fulfilling their civic<br />
duty and the actions of an individual should benefit<br />
the whole society.<br />
> What is responsibilities?<br />
The definition of responsibilities, according to<br />
Cambridge Dictionary, is ‘something that is your<br />
job or duty to deal with’ and linking this to social<br />
responsibilities we become obligated to act for the<br />
benefit of society both socially, economically and<br />
environmentally.<br />
> Two types of<br />
social responsibility<br />
There is more flexibility within responsibilities, as<br />
they are expectations not laws, which is evident in<br />
the two types of social responsibility: Active and<br />
Passive. Active social responsibility is by taking<br />
part in activities and working towards goals that<br />
will directly impact society in a positive way. For<br />
example, donating to charity, volunteering, giving<br />
blood and recycling. Passive social responsibility is<br />
the act of avoiding actions that are socially harmful.<br />
It is acting in the expected way, for example it is<br />
expected of us to put rubbish in a bin and not litter;<br />
acts that, for many of us, are engrained within us so<br />
we don’t even view them as responsibilities.<br />
> Conclusion<br />
Rights and responsibilities elevate and uphold<br />
humanity’s key values, which if lost would be<br />
detrimental to society. The video shows that young<br />
people are generally aware of what rights and<br />
responsibilities are but there are questions and<br />
issues that one definitely has to think upon before<br />
answering. This shows that, yes, we may have a<br />
basic understanding of rights and responsibilities<br />
but it is not a solidified and confident knowledge.<br />
To empower ourselves and society we need a<br />
strong understanding of what our rights and<br />
responsibilities are in order to maintain the security<br />
and protection of current and future generations.<br />
> Video:what are you rights & responsibilities?<br />
I wanted to discover how much young people knew about rights and responsibilities so I asked my<br />
colleagues a few questions about their thoughts and opinions surrounding these issues and here is what I<br />
found. Please click the buttom below to see what they say.

Huddersfield’s music<br />
scene is fruitful and<br />
flourishing.<br />
Written and edited by<br />
independent record label<br />
InfiniteVibrations, in<br />
collaboration with KLTV,<br />
we are here to serve<br />
An independent<br />
record label based in<br />
Huddersfield, UK. We<br />
pride ourselves on being<br />
built around a growing<br />
community of creatives<br />
and industry innovators.<br />
Driven by our passion<br />
for music, we do this as<br />
the scene to its fullest<br />
potential. We are<br />
passionate about<br />
music and driven by a<br />
responsibility to find and<br />

in the Hudd through<br />
InfiniteVibrations and<br />
KLTV’s social media.<br />
Here’s what Milton brown<br />
“We are InfiniteVibrations.”<br />
we feel it is our social<br />
responsibility to help<br />
up-and-coming artists<br />
gain a footing in the<br />
scene. We want to build a<br />
society of passionate and<br />
dedicated creatives to help<br />
improve the music scene<br />
for everyone; providing<br />
had to say “Huddersfield<br />
has had a massive<br />
tradition in music; as far<br />
back as I can remember<br />
back in the 60s it was the<br />
teddy boys, bluebeat, ska<br />
and reggae. Then it got<br />
into house,<br />
hip-hop and rap. Now,<br />
we see the emergence of<br />
Iranian<br />
music, Hungarian music<br />
and Kurdish gypsey<br />
music… it’s all here! There<br />
is a wealth of diversity<br />
which isn’t being heard<br />
opportunities for people<br />
within the music industry<br />
and creative sectors.<br />
Our overall vision for<br />
InfiniteVibrations is to<br />
become a large creative<br />
community, with inhouse<br />
facilities ranging<br />
from all areas of the music<br />
and we want Music in<br />
the Hudd to address<br />
that.” Now you know a<br />
little more about Music<br />
in the Hudd, it is time<br />
you learned about how<br />
to get involved! Have you<br />
released new music? Are<br />
you hosting an event?<br />

heard? If you feel you<br />
have something to bring<br />
to Music in the Hudd<br />
contact us at<br />
InfiniteVibrations0@<br />
gmail.com.<br />
and media industry, to<br />
become the Motown of<br />
this generation.<br />
Find out what we had to<br />
say in an interview by<br />
Journalist Lucy Boyd:<br />
Somewhere between<br />
Leeds and Manchester lies<br />
Huddersfield, a town<br />
that is booming in many<br />
ways. One cultural area<br />
where Huddersfield is<br />
growing is in the local<br />
music scene, with venues<br />
such as The Parish and<br />
Northern<br />
Quarter playing host to<br />
some high-profile acts and<br />
artists like Zebrahead and<br />
Dana Ali.<br />
Another venue that plays<br />
its part for the town is<br />
Small Seeds. Jonas Lapinas<br />
has worked at the venue<br />
as an events promoter<br />
Birds and Beasts<br />
Comprised of Anna and Leo Brazil,<br />
as well as many other collaborating<br />
artists from Huddersfield’s local<br />
scene, the band channel their ideas<br />
and views through songs written<br />
from the perspective of animals.<br />
Described as “if David Attenborough<br />
was in a band” they’ve recently<br />
released their debut album ‘Entwined’,<br />
which is available to purchase online.<br />
Written by Journalist Josh Murphy<br />
and sound engineer for<br />
four years, which includes<br />
the previous incarnation<br />
when it was known as Bar<br />
1:22. Back then, it had<br />
a somewhat industrial<br />
atmosphere with very little<br />
in the way of decoration, it<br />
was effectively just a room<br />
with a stage for bands<br />
to come and perform.<br />
Nowadays, the interior<br />
features a forest-like theme<br />
with trees,<br />
completely unrecognisable<br />
from over three years ago.<br />
“We welcome upcoming<br />
artists and hope to help<br />
them<br />
develop,” Lapinas describes<br />
the concept behind Small<br />
Seeds. “And there’s also a<br />
history behind that with<br />
quite famous artists like<br />
Jon Gomm. He was from<br />
Leeds and he used to come<br />
down to the acoustic club<br />
every week.”<br />
The acoustic club is run<br />
by Lapinas every Tuesday<br />
but he doesn’t want music<br />
to be an exclusive feature<br />
for Small Seeds. “We aim<br />
to be as much as possible a<br />
creative space as well,” He<br />
explains.<br />
“We very much welcome<br />
other people to put on<br />
Here’s the Steeple (Run the River)<br />
Here’s the Steeple, formally known<br />
as Run the River, is a genuine<br />
musician with raw talent and a love<br />
for his craft. Described by 2018’s<br />
Onwards festival as: “Soaring Vocals,<br />
Heartfelt songs”. His newest release<br />
‘High Hopes’ is released on the 26th<br />
January.<br />
events like alternative<br />
nights, film previews,<br />
poetry nights, electronic<br />
Future plans for the Small<br />
Seeds venue include<br />
merchandise; t-shirts,<br />
mugs, guitar pics, tea<br />
towels, and notebooks<br />
made from recycled paper<br />
are just some of what is<br />
under discussion. Also on<br />
the agenda is a café, with<br />
food fairly different to that<br />
of Bar Maroc, the upstairs<br />
counterpart to Small Seeds.<br />
Overall though, Lapinas’<br />
vision of the venue is<br />
mostly about “encouraging<br />
people to focus on mental<br />
health and address issues<br />
around the world.”<br />

Steen<br />
A well-known and respected<br />
cellist who also collaborates with<br />
Huddersfield’s artists, Steen is a<br />
classically trained cellist with a<br />
feat for exploring her own styles.<br />
Embellished by her skill with a looper<br />
pedal – Steen’s music is creatively<br />
captivating and truly unique. She<br />
begun playing music at 8 years old<br />
and at first shied away from the Cello<br />
until it was the only free instrument<br />
left in her class. Influenced by the<br />
darker tones of music.<br />

Interested in living more naturally? Curious about the harmful chemicals in your trusted household<br />
products and toiletries?<br />
If you would think twice about ingesting a harmful substance, then surely you would think twice<br />
about topically applying a harmful chemical. The skin is an organ that absorbs everything, what we<br />
put on our body is just as important as what we put into our body.<br />
From mothers, grandmothers to great grandmothers, washing powder has always been their trusted<br />
house hold friend when it comes to fresh bedding, clean uniforms and no muck, no mess. But have<br />
you ever really stopped to analyse the ingredients in your trusted laundry detergent?<br />
Just how do the whites come out so bright?<br />
The first ingredient label we are putting under the spotlight is Surf’s liquid<br />
detergent. Magnifying glass at the ready…<br />
Optical brighteners – Deceivingly make whites appear brighter. The brightener<br />
is transferred to the fabric during the wash and gives the effect of brighter whites.<br />
The chemicals absorb UV light making the clothes appear brighter. Optical<br />
brighteners or optical illusions?<br />
Perfume – Smell like your favourite flowers? That’s thanks to niffy chemicals<br />
such as Benzyl Salicylate, it is commonly used in cosmetics as a fragrance<br />
additive or an artificial flavour. Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Lily aldehyde) is<br />
also responsible for the potent floral scent in your favourite washing powder. It<br />
replicates the smell of flowers, making it a synthetic fragrance.<br />
Preservatives- Commonly found in cosmetic and household products. It inhibits<br />
bacterial growth in cosmetics by controlling and killing harmful microorganisms.<br />
The family of Isothiazolinones are responsible for keeping chemical mixtures<br />
such as washing powder, fresh before sell by date.<br />
High exposure to these chemicals is toxic to humans. Skin irritation, biocide and<br />
dermatitis are just some of the harmful side effects.<br />
Natural Alternative<br />
Fear not, there is a natural alternative to<br />
washing your clothes. Homemade and<br />
simple, it will rid you of all nasty chemicals<br />
and save you money in the future. Watch<br />
our tutorial video below to find out how to<br />
make your own washing powder at home.
