The data gathered about you might be used to send adverts to your computer in the form of annoying pop-ups, to send you spam email or, in rare cases, to impersonate you online.
The definition of spyware varies greatly. Some privacy enthusiasts argue that all cookies are spyware, but these small files can make using the web easier (remembering logins, for example). The truly malicious spyware programs are those that install themselves without your permission and send data silently without you knowing.
Put simply, adware is software that displays advertising on your computer. Often spyware and adware are part of the same program. Adware is, in theory, harmless on its own; some programs are free because they show adverts which pay for the developer's time. By clicking 'I agree' when installing these you are often agreeing to see the adverts in return for the free software. But when the software starts silently spying on you, it stops being harmless.
How does spyware and adware get onto my computer?
These programs are often installed because your browser or operating system has a security hole which was exploited by a website to install the spyware/adware. Or you might have installed a piece of free, advertising-supported software which has also installed spyware alongside the legitimate advertising.
Before you protect your computer from spyware and adware you need to remove any that may already be on your machine. There are lots of programs which claim to remove spyware and adware.

When it arrives to earning funds, no make a difference what small business you're in, passive cash flow is a wonderful thing. This means that you will be acquiring paychecks, even when you're not doing the job. There are couple of corporations that can prosper with no this. In regards to on the web corporations, nonetheless, you can make a massive bounce if you glance into the gains cycle that arrives from placing up a little something in this arena. The net is a proving ground for options that are in just this banner of earning funds. If you're not positive whether or not this is a little something that you want to get into, contemplate the gains that appear by means of when you do the job in just net alternatives that present you with a passive, residual cash flow.
This is the aspiration, even although persons assume it's significantly out of access, sleeping and acquiring paid. Think about acquiring paychecks although you're not accomplishing anything. In reality, envision sitting poolside somewhere and acquiring paid although accomplishing almost nothing but experiencing your existence. This is the final of dreams, and there are people that are living it on a everyday foundation. Some are even bored with this, and they are just waiting around for a new thing to do the job on. This is the amount a person benefit that arrives by means of passive streams of cash flow. When you established up your small business for results, this results in being really obvious overall.
Just one of the largest issues that you are likely to discover with a work is that there's a ceiling. No make a difference how challenging you do the job, and no make a difference how many raises you receive, there is a limit provided to a work. With on the web corporations, together with net advertising, and even Network marketing alternatives, you have no this sort of limitations. If you want to do the job ten hour days on this and you want to pull 7 figure once-a-year earnings, almost nothing is halting you. You clear away the limitations by having a passive answer to your cash flow. You can make as substantially prosperity as you want and you can do so with verified procedures that many other folks are doing the job on appropriate now. You are no longer minimal to the notion of limitations, nor a ceiling of wages.
There is no program placed on people that are earning funds on the web. In reality, they are earning their individual program. They are producing their individual small business entities, and accomplishing regardless of what they want. If you want to do the job only 2 hrs a working day, and that is it, then you can undoubtedly make a small business product that elevates you to that. Think about having a lot more time to devote with household, buddies, and go after hobbies that you want to go after. It really is a beautiful thing that many persons do not definitely get to do mainly because they are trapped in standard work. You can crack that mould and get paid just as substantially if not a lot more, with no having to commit a comprehensive time program into the doing the job approach.
When you're doing the job a normal work, no make a difference how substantially you enjoy it, it's stifling creatively. The common worker in a cubicle is not cost-free to do regardless of what they want. There is a method to the do the job that they have to do, and they have to do it with a specified target on precision. The very same goes across a number of industries. The a lot more you glance at this, the a lot more you're likely to know that your creative imagination is not on screen. Even artists that are doing the job on graphic design and style projects have to do the job with creative imagination that is relegated to what their shoppers need. You are unable to have that independence outside of the notion of passive cash flow, and doing the job from residence. If you choose to do the job from residence, and you want to observe your passions, you could really perfectly be as imaginative as you want, and devote a lot more time honing your competencies in this arena.
In these modern-day periods, you do not have to be concerned about conversation. Maybe a person of the most effective gains to appear by means of the notion of producing passive cash flow is this a person, net accessibility. You can now hook up with your small business anywhere you space. You can do so with tablets, smartphones, laptops and past. No longer are you chained to a desktop, or anything like that. If you want to move ahead into an additional space, or you want to do the job from a coffee shop, you can. The position is that you are in an arena wherever the ubiquitous mother nature of the net is permitting you to do the job from any place. That alone ought to glow gentle on the gains that appear from passive cash flow streams, that is for positive.

Jonathan Gardner '96, co-founder of the firm Cohen Gardner, has a practice that spans the areas of technology, entertainment and media.
You might find the name Jonathan Gardner, a 1996 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, listed as executive producer on the next film you watch. But that role is only part of what keeps him busy these days.
Gardner, along with Jeff Cohen, co-founded the firm Cohen Gardner in Beverly Hills, California, in 2002 after working as a business affairs executive at Universal and Fox. His practice focuses on the technology, entertainment and media industries.
He's also helped structure high-budget projects financed by Amazon and Netflix, and has executive-produced feature films and short films, including "Miles Ahead" with Don Cheadle and Ewan McGregor and "American Ultra" with Kristin Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg.
How did you get interested in the kind of law you're practicing?
The old joke is that everyone has two businesses: their business and show business. I just wanted to work in show business.
What was your career path? What led you to your current position?
I interned during my second summer with a film production company and went back to work for them after graduation. I was basically an assistant until the company folded, and I was out looking for a new job. I landed at a company called PolyGram, which subsequently was acquired by Universal.
What inspired you to start Cohen Gardner? How did you meet Jeff Cohen?
We met at Universal. Everyone already knew Jeff because he starred as "Chunk" in "The Goonies." We felt a little bit stifled in the studio environment and wanted to do something entrepreneurial. So we bet on ourselves and started the firm. We didn't know any better.
A lot of what I do revolves around "packaging," which means assembling the key artists necessary in order to attract or trigger the finance for a movie. So a big part of my day is talking to the artists or producers that I represent and trying to put together the artistic, financial and legal puzzle that is a film. The pieces sometimes don't fit, either for creative or money reasons, and sometimes it takes a lot of legal wrangling, diplomacy and finesse to greenlight a project. The interesting thing is that as a lawyer I get to participate at the inception stage of a movie, and really provide an opinion as to the viability of a proposed deal. Sometimes for the artist the money doesn't make sense for the time commitment, or the script isn't ready. Sometimes for the producer or the financier, the value of the actors involved doesn't add up to the price of the movie. A lot of factors are at play.
Tell us about one of your favorite days/experiences since co-founding Cohen Gardner.
I have twice been lucky enough to represent the film that opened the Cannes Film Festival, and there is nothing like walking the red carpet on the Croisette. For me, though, my best moment was when Ryan Coogler's film "Fruitvale Station" premiered at Sundance and went on to sweep the festival's major awards, helping to start a national conversation about implicit bias and the use of force by police. Ryan went on to write and direct "Creed" and now is prepping "Black Panther" for Marvel.
In what ways did your UVA Law experience help prepare you for your career?
UVA focuses on teaching lawyers to understand the business of their clients and promotes flexible legal thinking. Understanding the concerns of artists, producers and distributors is critical to success. The contract represents a moment in time when the parties wish to be bound, but you have to understand that in a creative endeavor, relationships will change significantly over time and you might end up with the dreaded "creative differences." Knowing how to get a client into a deal when the going is good, and then out of the deal when it turns sour, can be more of an art than a legal science.
Do you have advice for law students or alums who are interested in following a similar career path?
Pursuing a show biz career is not going to be like the [Office of Career Services] process your fellow students are engaging in. Unfortunately, scholastic success isn't a great predictor of how you will do in the jungle. Hollywood tends to place greater value on street smarts, personal relationships and experience. You really have to check your pride at the door and absolutely resolve never to quit.

A last-gasp lap by Lewis Hamilton has secured the Mercedes driver his 75th Formula 1 career pole position for this weekend's French Grand Prix at Circuit Paul Ricard.
The Englishman had to pull out a special final sector to overhaul teammate Valtteri Bottas, beating the Finn to a front-row lockout by just 0.118 seconds.
An all-silver front row was expected given Mercedes' dominance this weekend, with Hamilton fastest in both Friday practice sessions while Bottas was quickest in the day's rain-affected final practice hit-out before qualifying.
Hamilton, who trails Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel by just one point in the Drivers' Championship fight, took control in qualifying with the fastest overall times in the first and second knockout sessions. His opening Q3 lap, a 1:30.222, put him one-tenth of a second ahead of Bottas and set fans up for an exciting intra-team battle for pole position.
The session was then red-flagged by a crash for Romain Grosjean, who slid sideways into the barriers at Turn 4 after losing the rear of his Haas Ferrari. The Frenchman, yet to score a points' finish this season, looked on course to have his best weekend of the season and appeared to throw away his shot at leading the 'best of the rest' charge behind the 'big three' teams.
The session restarted once his stricken car had been removed and Vettel, slower than Hamilton by two-tenths of a second, was unable to improve on his second flying lap after an untidy exit through the Turn 3/4 chicane where Grosjean had come to grief just moments before.
Bottas moved to provisional pole position with an excellent 1:30.147, but just seconds later Hamilton would cross the finish line and post a 1:30.029.
Behind Vettel, the Red Bull Racing duo of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo were fourth- and fifth-fastest respectively ahead of the second Ferrari of Kimi Räikkönen who survived a post-qualifying hearing with the FIA Stewards after Kevin Magnussen complained the Finn had impeded his Q3 flying lap.
In an interesting strategic play, both Ferraris will start Sunday's race on the Ultrasoft tyres after using that compound to post their fastest laps in Q2. By contrast the two Mercedes' and Red Bull Racing pairings will start on the more durable Supersoft tyres for their opening stints.
With Grosjean out of the session, Renault's Carlos Sainz Jr gave the French squad a somewhat unexpected seventh-fastest result. Perhaps the standout performance of qualifying went to Sauber rookie Charles Leclerc, who gave the Swiss team its first Q3 appearance since the 2015 Italian Grand Prix and went on to qualify eighth fastest.
The earlier Q2 session saw Force India's Esteban Ocon eliminated from a top-ten shootout berth by Leclerc; he and the second Renault of Nico Hülkenberg came within six-hundredths of a second of scraping into the final session.
Pierre Gasly's Toro Rosso, the second Force India of Sergio Pérez and Sauber's Marcus Ericsson completed the top fifteen qualifiers.
While Sauber was left celebrating both cars having made it out of the first knockout session, that came at the expense of former champions McLaren. The Woking squad's MCL33 was well off the pace on low fuel, with Fernando Alonso and teammate Stoffel Vandoorne sandwiching Brendon Hartley's Toro Rosso Honda in sixteenth and eighteenth respectively.
The papaya cars at least qualified ahead of fellow former champions Williams, who were the slowest qualifiers as their season of woe continues. Sergey Sirotkin survived his own visit to the FIA Stewards' offices after allegedly impeding Hülkenberg. His teammate Lance Stroll damaged the floor of his Williams after running over the sausage kerbs exiting Turn 2.
Sunday's 53-lap French Formula 1 Grand Prix starts at 16:10 local time (GMT +2).
Brendon Hartley – who provisionally qualified 17th fastest – willstart from the back of the grid for exceeding his allocation of power unit elements.

Altoona Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich/The office operations and finance area of Elevation Management Group known as EMG Brands at 1014 Pennsylvania Ave., Tyrone, is housed in one of the first properties purchased by Russell Property Holdings, owned by Tyrone native John Russell. He recently purchased three more downtown Tyrone buildings to house his businesses.
TYRONE PA The 1000 block of Pennsylvania Avenue is taking on a new look.
Russell Property Holdings, owned by Tyrone native John Russell, recently purchased three downtown buildings 1010 and 1018 Pennsylvania Ave. and 1004 Blair Ave. to go along with the 1014 Pennsylvania Ave. building purchased in 2014.
Russell, 31, plans to create up to 100 new jobs at his numerous business ventures, which will be housed in these buildings.
We are investing one million dollars between purchasing and remodeling the buildings, Russell said.
Two of the buildings had been abandoned with the windows boarded up. An internal construction crew has been hired to renovate the spaces to provide additional space for business growth.
Shortly after graduating from Tyrone Area High School in 2004, Russell moved to Pittsburgh and worked in two different phone stores.
I quickly realized I wanted to own my own business, and in 2008, I opened a Verizon Wireless Zone store in Tyrone, Russell said.
Today, he owns 25 Wireless Zone franchises across five states, and his corporate headquarters was the first business to occupy the Tyrone downtown building in 2014.
After successfully growing his Wireless Zone stores, Russell said he was propositioned by a previous business associate to explore a new investment. In 2014, he invested in a local Green Home Solutions territory, a national franchise with 140 locations in the United States.
After operating the territory for a few months, he realized the huge potential in this company. The owners of corporate Green Home Solutions approached him and offered him the CEO position. He moved his family to Connecticut and became CEO and owner at the corporate level.
After a short time in Connecticut, in October 2016, Russell decided to move the corporate headquarters to his hometown of Tyrone 1014 Pennsylvania Ave. He hired an additional 25 staffers to join the team that was already supporting his phone business.
With several businesses now housed in one location, a management company EMG Brands was created to provide accounting, financial and operational support for each entity.
In December, to support the Green Home Solutions franchises, the EMG Call Center was launched. Plans are for the call center to be housed in the renovated warehouse 1004 Blair Ave. and employ an additional 60 operators in the next few months.
Today, the 1014 Pennsylvania Ave. building at one time home to Patrice's Boutique is home to EMG Wireless (the 25 Verizon Wireless franchised retail locations), Green Home Solutions, Russell Property Holdings, EMG Brands the management company for all of Russell?s businesses and the EMG Call Center, which supports all businesses in our portfolio and our franchisees, Russell said.
The 1018 Pennsylvania Ave. building, which housed Rhonda?s Retreat, now holds EMG Print Co., a wholesale printing business which does work for all of our internal businesses and a few wholesale accounts, Russell said.
The 1010 Pennsylvania Ave. building, which housed Sammy's Pet Shop, is being converted into office spaces for Russell's employees.
Russell said he has a long-term vision for downtown Tyrone.
This entire block will have businesses in each storefront with 150-200 jobs. People will have career opportunities that pay well. The goal is to create jobs and revitalize the heart of Tyrone, which is Pennsylvania Avenue, Russell said.
Our vision is to create a downtown area that will attract new professional families to relocate to Tyrone, he said.
Our 2017 growth plan includes adding several new ventures as well as expanding current businesses. Within the next few months, we will have job offerings for 75 plus employees. We will be providing career opportunities for call center operators, finance staff, marketing experts, administrative support staff and more.
Russell said he could have picked State College to serve as headquarters for his businesses.
?We decided to come here. We knew how much of an impact 100 jobs would mean. To fix up Pennsylvania Avenue, to make an impact in a small community we have ties to is very attractive. We knew Tyrone was a perfect location to continue our growth. Tyrone is easily accessible from many surrounding communities and has a highly ranked school district, Russell said.
Rose Black, executive director of the Tyrone Area Chamber of Commerce, is pleased with Russell's efforts.
I think it is an excellent idea. He is talking about bringing other people into the community as well. I think it would spur growth of other small businesses and attract new people to move into the area, Black said.
Steve McKnight, president and CEO of Altoona-Blair County Development Corp., said Russell represents the next generation investor, entrepreneur and pioneer.
He and others like him increasingly see the value in mountain towns like Tyrone and the benefits of living and working in communities like ours. We have reached a point in technology and communications platforms that businesses like John's can reach any market in real time. So why not live where you want, enjoy life and do it cost effectively, McKnight said. The next generation want to be a part of transformative projects. When you can do it in your hometown like John has, it can produce a win-win for everyone. This is big and I believe it is just the beginning for Tyrone, Altoona and all of our mountain main street communities.
ABCD Corp. is assisting Russell with his projects.
We are working to assist with his building renovation and talent attraction efforts by telling his story and celebrating this type of homegrown leadership. It is the future and a great example of our Think Big approach, McKnight said.

Nitric oxide is a molecule that our body produces to help its 70 trillion cells communicate with each other by transmitting signals throughout the entire body. The most common way to increase nitric oxide is through exercise. When you run or lift weights, your muscles need more oxygen, which is supplied by the blood. As the heart pumps with more pressure to supply the muscles with blood, the lining in your arteries releases nitric oxide into the blood, which relaxes and widens the vessel wall, allowing more blood to pass through.
When plaque builds up in your arteries, called atherosclerosis, you reduce your capacity to produce nitric oxide, which is why physicians prescribe nitroglycerin for heart and stroke patients.
With nitric oxide deficiencies due to aging, inactivity, smoking, high cholesterol, fatty diets and lack of healthy foods, increasing your nitric oxide levels can help increase your energy, vitality and overall wellness. Increasing nitric oxide has become the new secret weapon for athletes and bodybuilders.

Creative businesses often have the same challenge.
Creative businesses often have the same challenge. That challenge is how to be creative and successful. This isn't always easy to achieve, so these ten tips have been provided to help you in your venture.
1. Put your focus into one area and become good at it. If you focus on what you're good at as opposed to doing what people want, you'll notice you have a greater chance of success. This is because you specialize in one area, allowing you to offer more value in your specific area of work.
2. Plan where you want your business to go. If you have a good vision of what you want, this will be very helpful. You can always change your plan as things in life change, but having your plan written down will keep you focused on your goals.
3. Do different things. When you change things up a little bit, people are bound to notice and pay attention to you. Realize that if you only offer the same things as everyone else around you, you won't stand out in the crowd of businesses. Taking risks gets you noticed.
4. Pay attention to the numbers. You may work in a more creative field but that doesn't mean you can forget about numbers. You have to ensure that you have a regular cash flow and without an organized way to go through all of the numbers, you'll never know how successful you are.
5. Share your ideas to revolutionize. Talking to others is the key to a successful business. Having a great diversity of ideas can help you to adopt an innovative way of doing things for your business. Collaboration helps you to succeed in this world.
6. Have proper protection of your ideas. You don't want to ever run into the issue of someone stealing your ideas. Be sure to be able to defend your ideas if you ever do run into this unfortunate issue. Your ideas are the essence of what you and your business are, so ensure that you know how to protect yourself including use of trademarks and/or copyrights as needed.
7. Take a digital approach to your business. Engage with you customers, employees, and suppliers. Learn how to use different social media platforms to help promote your business. This will help you to extend the boundaries of your business and how to appeal to people to support you and your business.
8. Don't lose hope. People always make mistakes but it's important that you move away from them and learn from them. You need to be determined to run a business of your own so don't give up easily.
9. Always strive to improve. Continuous improvements help to make a business succeed. This includes looking back at things that went wrong and making them better.
10. Have fun. You're supposed to have fun while running a creative business. Having fun makes work enjoyable, even the more routine tasks that form part of any business.
It's not easy running your own creative business but when following these tips, hopefully it can help your business run a little bit easier.
You Need To Know The Benefits Of Garcinia Cambogia!
With a line of functional beverages, people all over the world are experiencing a new kind of health and vitality. Faye and Blair Arn are sharing the Valentus products and helping people worldwide develop better health and create extra income for them and their families. In his article we discuss the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia.
Garcinia Cambogia, a tropical fruit also known as the Malabar tamarind, is a popular weight-loss supplement. People say it blocks your body's ability to make fat and it puts the brakes on your appetite. It could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, too. You'll find it in bottles on the shelf at the store as well as mixed with other ingredients in diet products.
How It WorksThe active ingredient in the fruit's rind, hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, has boosted fat-burning and cut back appetite in studies. It appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which your body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make you feel less hungry.
Type 2 Diabetes and High CholesterolGarcinia cambogia may make it easier for your body to use glucose, the sugar your cells need for energy. Mice that got garcinia cambogia in one study had lower insulin levels than mice that didn't. That's another reason, besides weight loss, that people with diabetes are interested in it.
Fall in love with Black Currants!
Add Black Currants to your diet with Prevail Breakthrough and also add a dietary supplement during the cold and flu season!
Traditional Uses: In Europe the leaves were used as a diuretic,and as a gargle for sore throat. The berries were made into a drink for colds and flu.
Medicinal Uses: Diaphoretic; Diuretic; Febrifuge; Miscellany.Leaves of blackcurrant are a folk medicine and are taken against arthritis, spasmodic cough and diarrhea. Leaves and buds are taken in cases of rheumatism and urinary problems. As a tasty source of vitamin C, the fruits of blackcurrant are useful as a dietary supplement during the cold and flu season. Fresh ripe fruits and fruit juice are useful in cases of mild diarrhea. Seed oil has become popular as an alternative to evening primrose oil. It contains about 15% gamma-linolenic acid.
The oil from the seed is added to skin preparations and cosmetics. It is often combined with vitamin E to prevent oxidation.
A yellow dye is obtained from the leaves.
A blue or violet dye is obtained from the fruit.
The leaves are used for vegetable preservation.
The oil is generally used today. Black currant seed oil is a rich source of essential fatty acids. These are converted in the body to prostaglandin, which is necessary for fighting infection. Many women find this oil reduces breast tenderness associated with PMS.
The Black Currant is occasionally found wild in damp woods as far north as the middle of Scotland, but is considered to be a true native only in Yorkshire and the Lake District - when found apparently wild in other parts of the country, its presence is due to the agency of birds. It is easily distinguished at all seasons by the strong perfume of its buds and leaves.
The berries are sometimes put into brandy like Black Cherries. The Russians make wine of them, with or without honey or spirits, while in Siberia a drink is made of the leaves which, when young, make common spirits resemble brandy. An infusion of them is like green tea, and can change the flavour of black tea. Goats eat the leaves, and bears especially like the berries, which are supposed to have medicinal properties not possessed by others of the genus.
The juice can be boiled to an extract with sugar, when it is called Rob, and is used for inflammatory sore throats. Excellent lozenges are also prepared from it.
The juice,especially when fresh or vacuum-sealed, helps to stem diarrhoea and calms indigestion The leaves are cleansing, diaphoretic and diuretic.The raw juice is diuretic and diaphoretic, and is an excellent beverage in febrile diseases.
The infusion of the leaves is cleansing and diuretic, while an infusion of the young roots is useful in eruptive fevers and the dysenteric fevers of cattle.
A decoction of the bark has been found of value in calculus, dropsy, and haemorrhoidal tumours.
So important is the use of Ribes nigrum in French phytotherapy that Dr. Leon Binet, an often quoted authority at the beginning of the last century, made a point of indicating how strongly he felt about the benefits of using black currant on a regular basis,as part of a daily herbal regime.
He wrote that one of the best ways of maintaining health in old age was to: have an infusion of the leaves of black currant in the morning; an infusion of mint at noon; and, an infusion of linden flowers in the evening. (Ed: For more on Linden, see Vitality archives here.) Since Dr Binet lived to a ripe old age, it might not be a bad idea.
Black currants, a forgotten fruit in most American diets (but extremely popular in Europe), may be just what the doctor ordered. This dark-colored fruit is jam packed with antioxidants, which have been shown to have significant health benefits. Studies show that antioxidants can prevent various types of degenerative diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, as well as slow down the aging process and protect the body's vision and neurological functions.
Until now, blueberries have long been regarded as the "king of antioxidants." Research has shown that the black currant has a much higher source of antioxidants than the blueberry and has three times the amount of Vitamin C found in oranges. Black currants also contain significant amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, copper and soluble fiber. They are rich in phytochemicals called anthocyanins which are known for their outstanding anti-inflammatory benefits. Anthocyanins are the plant pigments that give black currants their dark color - the darker the fruit, the higher the amount of anthocyanin and the more antioxidant benefits available.
The fruit of the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) has a very high vitamin C content and tastes wonderful in the form of jelly, syrup or fruit juice, says Rolf Stmer in his book The Big Book of Health. Thus it is good for building up resistance; one glass of hot blackcurrant juice when you have the flu, sweetened with honey, works wonders.
Compounds in black currants may help protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to a study in the current issue of Chemistry and Industry magazine.
Researchers found that these compounds,anthocyanins and polyphenolics,had a strong protective effect in cultured neuronal cells. Darker black currants contain more anthocyanins and are likely to be more potent."These compounds also work in hippocampal cells taken straight from the brain," researcher James Joseph of Tufts University said in a prepared statement. He said these protective effects will likely be reproduced in the human body and that these compounds may prevent or significantly delay the onset of Alzheimer's.
While previous research found that compounds in black currants acted as antioxidants, this is the first study to demonstrate that they may help protect brain cells. Exactly how they do this remains unclear, the study said. "We have evidence that the compounds protect against Alzheimer's by influencing the early gene expression in learning and memory, which influences cell signaling pathways that help neuronal cells communicate with each other," Joseph said.
The leaves are cleansing, diaphoretic and diuretic. By encouraging the elimination of fluids they help to reduce blood volume and thereby lower blood pressure. An infusion is used in the treatment of dropsy, rheumatic pain and whooping cough, and can also be used externally on slow-healing cuts and abcesses. It can be used as a gargle for sore throats and mouth ulcers. The leaves are harvested during the growing season and can be used fresh or dried.
It is believed that an infusion of the leaves increases the secretion of cortisol by the adrenal glands, and thus stimulates the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. This action may prove useful in the treatment of stress-related conditions.
Blackcurrant fruits are a good source of minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin C. They have diuretic and diaphoretic actions, help to increase bodily resistance to infections and are a valuable remedy for treating colds and flu. The juice, especially when fresh or vacuum-sealed, helps to stem diarrhea and calms indigestion. Tea made from the leaves of the blackcurrant increases the flow of urine and induces heavy perspiration. This is why the tea is also used for rheumatic diseases. A decoction 30 grams to one liter of water of which two to three cups are sipped daily, makes an excellent kidney treatment, says Stmer.
Modern French phytotherapy has looked at this plant primarily as a drainer of the tissues. This means that it is exceedingly useful anywhere in the body where the tissues have become congested: inflammatory, toxic, or auto-toxic conditions. These include arthritis, gout and prostatitis. It has also been used successfully to relieve skin problems.
Because they are a tissue drainer, black currant leaves have the ability, unlike any drug, to "drain" tissues especially those in the area of the kidneys and urinary tract and the liver. Tissue drainage was first observed by French phytotherapists in the second half of the 20th century. It allows the affected tissue to be cleansed internally by stimulating the body's own internal restoration processes. This means that natural healing is encouraged by providing an ideal terrain, which also requires a balanced whole food diet and a lifestyle that keeps stress to a minimum and outdoor exercise plentiful.
One might well ask why is it so important to get rid of the congestion in the tissues? If congestion is allowed to remain in tissues, the life supply to the cells in the region is compromised. It also means that the toxic wastes of normal metabolism are accumulating in the area. Herbal medicine is able to relieve congestion in specific tissues by using external applications. "Drawing" poultices such as clay or chickweed draw out the metabolites of the inflammatory process. But botanical tissue drainers such as black currant leaves can work from the inside too, enhancing the body's ability to rid itself of the encumbrance.
Now it is easy to understand why taking black currant leaves as an infusion (herbal tea) will help with a skin problem such as dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema. Skin problems always respond well to liver remedies and black currant leaves are widely used in France as a liver remedy. But black currant is doubly effective here because it is also a "tissue drainer." This means that it reaches down into the tissues of the skin and extracts any toxic irritants which may be stored there. At the same time, it stimulates liver activity, making sure that these same toxins are carried right out of the body.
The fresh leaves are also a friend to our skin because they can be crushed and rubbed on insect bites as well as rubbed on the skin to prevent insects from biting. It seems that even waving whole branches of black currant bushes at flying insects will make them feel unwanted; however I wouldn't advise testing this out in the face of a cloud of swarming wasps!
And menopausal symptoms are said to improve as a result of its hormone regulating power. Many women have experienced relief from menopausal symptoms using black currant leaf tea because it is a hormone regulator. It is in the same class as all the other useful botanical hormone regulators including English marigold (Calendula officinalis), red raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus), and vervain (Verbena officinalis), which seem to be helpful for any woman. Rina Nissim calls black currant a hormonal regulator specific to the adrenals and the ovaries, as well as a decongesting agent, indicated for menopausal complaints. However, it would not be wise to take black currant or any other herb during pregnancy without the advice of a qualified herbal practitioner.

Add the pineapple smoothie to a cup.
Now add the inside of the dragon fruit, not the skin, to a blender with a splash of non-dairy milk and blend. It should blend very easily.
Top off each glass with the blended dragon fruit juice and like slowly stir the cups with a spoon to create the swirl.

Escazú Agreement essential to the development and sustainability of the region—President Ali
Calls ratification of environmental treaty a milestone
Georgetown, Guyana (April 22, 2021) His Excellency Dr Irfaan Ali today called the ratification of the Escazú Agreement a significant milestone in the region and highlighted its importance to overall development and sustainability.
In his address, the President noted that the agreement will reinforce democracy, transparency, accountability and effectiveness in dealing with an environment affected by climate change.
The agreement which was adopted in 2018, entered into effect today after a structural ratification process by 24 nations took place in January of this year.
The Latin America (LATAM) and the Caribbean's environmental treaty seeks to ensure that people have access to timely and reliable information and can participate in an effective way in the decisions that affect their lives and their environments.
It is also structured to ensure that people can access justice in environmental matters.
"The coming into effect of this 'Agreement' represents a significant milestone, one which coincides, fittingly, with the commemoration of International Mother Earth Day 2021. The Caribbean and Latin America should feel a sense of collective pride on account of its continued sterling environmental leadership as exemplified by this 'Agreement,'" President Ali stated.
He added that the effects of the pandemic and the exacerbation of our climate crisis highlight the need for an arrangement tailored to our specific requirements.
"The climate crisis represents an existential threat to humanity. Climate change characterised by extreme weather events, rising sea levels, landslides, floods, drought and biodiversity loss are inflicting losses on our economies and our peoples' livelihoods."
The President added that with the regional hurricane season approaching (officially scheduled to start on June 1), natural hazards can strike at any time.
He also pointed to the struggles of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after the eruption of its Soufrière volcano and reminded that natural disasters threaten the very survival of small-island and low lying coastal states.
He also called for countries in the region that are yet to ratify the agreement to do so.
"I, therefore, reiterate the need for us to act collectively for the protection of our people and their environment. Our twin celebration…should engender a greater sense of urgency to work collectively to safeguard our peoples and the planet."
The President pointed out that the essence of the agreement is that it does not only protect the environment, but it protests the people who defend it.
"Rights and inclusion, cornerstones of democratic societies, are at the heart of the Escazú Agreement. The 'Agreement' responds to the important affirmation of Heads of States and Governments at Rio+20, that access rights contribute to the strengthening of democracy, good governance and human rights."
President Ali added that Guyana was the first State Party (States Parties are countries that have adhered to the World Heritage Convention) to ratify the Escazú Agreement.
"Guyana as a signatory to the 'Agreement' hereby endorses the right of access to environmental information. It welcomes public participation in the environmental decision-making process. It supports access to justice in environmental matters and commits to working to ensure the right of every person to live in a healthy environment."
He emphasised that Guyana subscribes to the belief that public access to information, and citizens' participation in environmental decision-making, are vital elements of sound environmental stewardship.
The President said that the agreement is aligned with Guyana's constitutional obligations.
"Our 'Constitution' proclaims that, 'Everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to his or her well-being'. We subscribe to the belief that public access to information, and citizens' participation in environmental decision-making, are vital elements of sound environmental stewardship."
The agreement's provisions for judicial and administrative proceedings include remedy and redress, which according to the President is necessary to strengthen the inclusive and transparent approach that his Government is fostering on environmental matters.
The Head of State noted that theprotection of the environment is mainstreamed in Guyana's Low Carbon Development Strategy.
"This 'Strategy' is premised on the REDD+ Mechanism. In the ongoing implementation of this 'Strategy', we are committed to continuous multi-stakeholder consultations undertaken in an institutionalised, systematic and transparent manner to ensure full and effective participation of indigenous peoples and other forest-dependent communities, through free, prior and informed consent. Further, we are working towards the enhancement of transparency and access to extractive industry information, as required under Guyana's Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) obligations."
Along with President Ali, several others contributed to today's virtual discussions, including Michelle Bachelet, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and Epsy Campbell, Vice President of Costa Rica.

It is hard to believe we are now at the end of term 4 and what a lovely term it has been! We finished our learning theme with the magnificent banquet and are finishing today saying good bye to our gorgeous chicks who are off to Puxton Park so lots of other children can enjoy them too.
The children were fascinated watching the chicks hatch and they have been surprised at how quickly they change from being tired and wet and very straggly to being up and about, cute and fluffy!
We are now very much looking forward to our final two terms and I am really grateful to everyone who has said they will help with our SURPRISE trip on the 1st May. Remember it is a dress as a pirate day and please bring a bucket and spade if you have one.
We are now very much looking forward to our final two terms and I am really grateful to everyone who has said they will help with our SURPISE trip on the 1st May. Remember it is a dress as a pirate day and please bring a bucket and spade if you have one.
We have been learning about the story of Easter this week, the children have enjoyed creating their own Easter garden and discovering more about why Easter is so important to Christians.
This week has seen us celebrate the end of our learning theme with our performance of understanding in the shape of a medieval banquet. Thank you to everyone who came along to support the children ~ you were an amazing audience and the children certainly showed what brilliant learners they are. We were incredibly proud of each and every one of them! Please check our Facebook and twitter accounts for more pictures of the banquet.
As well as all the hard work that went into preparing the banquet the children have enjoyed learning more about what is happening in the development of the chicks. They have been scientists and removed the shell and then the membrane of the eggs to get a closer look at the structure of the eggs and we have experienced the hatching of the butterflies too!
Finally we are desperate for more helpers for our surprise trip to Sandbay on the 1st May. Please let one of us know if you are able to help in anyway.
Next week is the banquet and the children are very excited and have spent the week preparing for it. The banquet will start at 1.45pm and should be finished by three. We will open the doors at 1.30ish to get you settled so we can start on time. As we mentioned before it is two places per child and we respectfully ask that if you bring little ones to watch please be mindful that this is the Busy Bee's first performance of understanding and we ask that you take them out if they are not settled.
In class this week the children have been learning all about symmetry linked to the imminent arrival of our butterflies! Why not keep a look out with your child for symmetry in the environment. We were also very excited this week when we put eggs in the incubator ~ we hope to have chicks in time for Easter!
What an amazing week we have had as we have celebrated the joy of reading in World Book Week. It was great to see so many of you at our bedtime story evening on Monday and I loved sharing some of my favourite stories with the children. Dress up day was brilliant too and we spent the whole day immersed in stories which had the knock on effect of the children wanting to make their own books and write stories themselves.
In Maths this week we have been solving addition and subtraction number problems. The children loved making up their own number stories and representing the characters to find the answer to the calculation. Great learning Busy Bees!
Finally a few reminders! The Banquet is on Tuesday 19th March at 1.45 until 3pm. We are planning to hold a SECRET day at the beach on Wednesday 24th April to introduce our pirate theme. We will need lots of helpers that day so if you can spare some time we would really appreciate it and I promise it is lots of fun! Please let me know at the door if you can help and remember it is a secret! More details to follow!
Welcome back to the start of term 4, I hope you all had a lovely half term. It was great to see the children again so full of enthusiasm for school and learning and they all enjoyed showing and telling me about the learning opportunities you shared with them. Lots of you went to castles, did lots of reading and the writing from the children has been amazing ~ thank you so much.
It is set to be a really exciting term with our first performance of understanding with the banquet on the 19th March. The children are so excited about it and we added to the excitement this week with a visit from a real falconer and her birds to teach us about life in a castle and the role birds of prey would play. The children loved the visit (especially the naughty owl Chilli who started to roost in the hall roof and wouldn't come down) and they have produced some amazing pictures and writing about the experience. Why don't you ask the children to tell you something about the birds of prey and record it for Tapestry.
In other learning the children continue to learn about subtraction and are becoming really confident with many of them writing number sentences in their play! In phonics the children have been learning the sounds nk, as in ink, ear as in hear, ure as in pure and or as in form. Our new sight word this week is all. Please remember to write in their books when they have read with you and if you get the chance practice their sight words with them at home too.
Yesterday the children were lucky enough to have a visit from a real author and next week there will be lots of lovely reading activities to celebrate World Book Day. Reading is in my opinion one of the greatest things a child will learn to do. It opens doors to all other areas of learning and there is such a lot of pleasure to be had from reading a good book!
In PE we introduced the children to the Olympic sport of Kurling. Finally today we had a special delivery ~ 30 very tiny, very hungry caterpillars! The children have enjoyed a story about 'the very hungry caterpillar' and have looked closely at them and recorded in words and pictures their observations. We look forward to observing the process of them changing over the coming weeks.
In class this week the children have been shopping! They went to the 'great pet sale' and used money to buy some very unusual pets including a platypus and a skink! They had to use the skills they have already learnt in maths to find the correct money to pay for their pets. If you would like to support your child at home why not set up your own shop and price it up from 1p- 5p and then have some fun while consolidating their knowledge and vocabulary of money.
In phonics this week the children have been learning the sounds 'oo' as in look, 'oo' as in zoo, 'ar' as in car, 'or' as in for and 'ur' as in fur. They have also been consolidating their knowledge of the sight words 'the, I, no, go, to, into, me, he, she, we and be. It would be a great support if you could have these words around so the children become really familiar with them.
This week has also been dragon week and the children have listened to amazing myths, legends and poems about dragons as well as studied the famous piece of art by Uccello, George and the Dragon. Of course they have also made and painted their own dragons as well as had lots of fun fighting dragons as they retold the stories they had heard.
Thank you to everyone who supported our 'number day' in aid of the NSPCC. The children started the day with a number wake up shake up. We then asked the question, 'How big is a million?' We started by looking at 10, then 100, then 1000 then 10000, 10000 and finally a million!
In RE this week we have looked at the parable of 'The Good Samaritan', thinking about how we can be helpful and kind to others.
We had an interesting visit from a team from Tarmac today, they parked a big lorry in the playground for us to explore and we learnt lots about staying safe around lorries. The whole class stood in front of the lorry and we discovered that when the driver sat in the driver's seat, nobody could be seen! We know that these areas are called 'blind spots' and we need to be extra careful around big vehicles.
In maths we have been learning about 3D shapes and the children have loved making their own models using these shapes and playing games with them. If you would like to support them at home why not go on a shape hunt at home and record some of the shapes they see ~ our store cupboards are always a good place to start with this activity!
Last week the children planted beans in a bag and they are growing really well in the greenhouse that is our classroom! At the start of next week we are going to be sending the beans home with them and we would like you to re-pot them into soil. Then we would like your child to record in words and pictures the growth of their bean and share it with us on Tapestry. We look forward to seeing whose bean will be the tallest and whose will produce the most beans!
As many of you will have seen, the date for our banquet is Tuesday 19th March @ 1.30pm . We look forward to seeing you ~ fancy dress is optional!
What an exciting week of learning we have had! On Monday we were scientists and answered the question 'where is the beanstalk in the bean?' The children were amazed to find the beanstalk is inside waiting for the right conditions for it to grow! They learnt the names of the parts of the beans and labelled pictures of what they had observed. We also planted some beans in bags so we can observe the process in action. We are excited to say some of them have already begun to sprout! We will watch over them carefully over the coming weeks.
In Phonics we have been learning the diagraphs 'sh' as in sheep, 'ch' as in chips, 'th' as in thumb, 'ng' as in strong, 'ai' as in snail, 'ee' as in bee and 'oa' as in goat. We have also learnt the trigraph 'igh'. This week's sight word is 'she'. Please keep reading with your child at home ~ they are so enthusiastic and really want to learn to read. It is also one of the single most important things they will ever learn to do as it is the key to accessing all other subjects. Don't forget to write in the book so we can change the books!
In maths this week the children were exploring numberless word problems and the children loved representing the characters in the problems with pictures and counters and many of the children had a go at writing number sentences too! Great work Busy Bees.
In PE this week we challenged ourselves to bounce and catch tennis balls…and soon discovered this isn't as easy as it looks! In RE we learnt about the story of Matthew the tax collector, how he was given a second chance by Jesus and how we can be given (or give) second chances too.
This week the children have started to explore their key text for this term, 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. They started by listening to the story and hot seating some of the characters to give them a better understanding of the characters and the plot! They then had the opportunity to act out the story with the beanstalk and props which had appeared in our role play castle. The children also had the opportunity to play with puppets from the story and build their own small world castles and to retell the story that way. Next week we will be planting the 'magic' beans' kindly donated by one of our parents ~ many thanks!
In maths we have been following on from your home learning challenge by estimating in lots of different ways. It was really lovely to hear the children talking about what they had done and to see them on Tapestry!
This week we were also exploring ways to keep healthy and have started the daily mile challenge. I joined in with the children and was helped around the course. I was very proud of even having a little run, cheered on by the children!
In RE this week we have been starting to look at what Christians believe, focusing this week on creation.
The children's knowledge of phonics and enthusiasm for writing has been lovely to see this week and we have been practicing writing some simple sentences with the children. In other areas of learning the children have continued to develop their ball skills with bouncing and catching. In RE they looked at how and why Christians pray.
Christmas is almost here and this week we have been have been enjoying lots of Christmas activities and crafts and a wonderful Christmas dinner cooked by our lovely cook Sharon.
In phonics this week we have learnt 'y' as in yogurt, 'z' as in zip and 'qu' as in queen. The children have begun consolidating the alphabet of sounds they now know and are working really hard with their reading. Please keep reading with them over the holidays ~ a little and often. If they finish their book please ask them to read it again 'Fred in their head' (the children are familiar with this terminology and know what to do). They can then read it again for fluency and expression and you can use the questions in the book to check their understanding of what they have read. You might also like to support them to practice writing some of the words from the story. All of these skills will really support them with their learning.
In maths we have been doing lots of counting and thinking about numbers that are more or less (fewer). There will be lots of opportunities over Christmas for you to support them with counting (how many presents, pigs in blankets, and chocolates in the tin) and of course for playing board games which support them to recognise and order numbers. Christmas paper for looking at repeating patterns and shapes and if I eat 3 chocolates how many will be left? ~ this is a particular favourite of mine!
As a church school we have also been learning about why we celebrate Christmas and have been reading lots of wonderful Christmas stories. I wonder if your little one can tell you about the Christmas story?
We are all very excited about next term's learning theme 'who would you be if you lived in a castle' and our introduction day will be on Tuesday 8th January when we would like the children to come to school dressed as a castle character.
Finally we would like to say a huge 'thank you' for all the wonderful presents and cards. We have been over whelmed by your generosity and would like to wish you and your families a happy and healthy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you again in 2019!
Without a doubt the highlight of our week was the amazing nativity performance of 'The Magical Christmas Jigsaw'. The children were absolutely fantastic! Thank you for your support with costumes, we are sure you will agree, the children all looked amazing!
Our Christmas preparations have begun in the classroom. The children have enjoyed making some Christmas crafts and have enjoyed hearing and learning about Christmas traditions through stories. The children have been sharing what they love most about Christmas. It has been so lovely to hear about all of the fantastic family traditions that take place during the festive period. They have started to think about the reason for Christmas and the nativity story. We look forward to continuing Christmas activities next week.
In Maths we have been learning about money. The children have had the opportunity to handle real coins, and talk about their value. They have been learning that a 5p coin has the same value, or is equivalent to five 1ps and variations using 2p and 1p coins. We have set up a Christmas shop in the role-play area and the children have had the opportunity to use real money in their play. They have enjoyed handling money and observing the differences in size and colour of the coins.
This week the Busy Bees have been enjoying practicing phonics in lots of fun games and activities. They have learnt the new sounds 'e' as in egg, 'r' as in red, 'u' as in up and 'h' as in hat and the new sight word is 'go'. They are beginning to read simple words and sentences and a really big thank you for supporting them at home with their reading ~ it is so very important that they get the opportunity to practice this new skill.
Also this week the children have been thinking about how we stay well and healthy through a good diet and lots of exercise. They made fruit kebabs and filled 'healthy' lunchboxes as well as did lots of physical exercise (when the weather allowed)!
In Maths the children have been ordering numbers and finding the parts that make the whole of a number as well as playing lots of games that support the concepts we have been learning.
We hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy the school fair tonight!
The children continue to make great progress with phonics and reading. We have been learning the sounds , g as in goat, o as in ostrich, c as in cat, and k as in Kangaroo this week as well as the sight word 'I'. It is wonderful to see how well supported the children are with their phonics and reading, it makes such a difference in their reading development. We aim to change reading books on Monday, Wednesday and Friday but please send books and journal in their book bag everyday. If we can just ask you to remember to record when they have read and any comments on their progress is particularly helpful. If you feel your child might benefit from holding on to the book another night just let us know via the journal.
In maths this week the children have been exploring different repeating patterns and have begun to recognise, create and describe patterns. They have been immersed in lots of hands on practice developing their own patterns using shapes, colours and even animals!
In literacy the children enjoyed the story of the 'Leaf Man' by Lois Herbert. This inspired the children to become very creative as they made their own leaf characters or stick men and then developed their own stories around their characters. What wonderful stories and imaginations we have in Busy Bees!
In art we learned about a fun painting technique called Pointillism developed by the artist George Seurat. After looking at some famous paintings the children made their own dot paintings using q tips.
In RE we have looked at the Jewish festival of Passover, tasting some of the different foods from the Seder plate.
As part of Road Safety Week, we learnt how to be safe on and near roads, we pretended to be cars and pedestrians finding safe places to cross the road.
Finally, the children have also been doing a great job practicing for the The Magical Christmas Jigsaw' nativity ' which they will perform on the 6th of December. A letter regarding costumes was sent home in your child's bag. If you have any questions please ask one of the teachers.
As part of Road safety week, after learning how to be safe on and near roads, we pretended to be cars and pedestrians finding safe places to cross the road.
This week the Busy Bees have been extremely busy doing lots of amazing learning! They have learnt four new sounds and a new sight word and they are all so keen to write that we have had to extend our writing table! The sounds they have covered this week are i as in ink, n as in net; m as in mat and d as in dog and the sight word is 'to'. We have also sent home reading books for you to read with your child at home. Help them to sound out each word and then blend the sounds together to read the word. When they are confident doing this they need to try reading it 'Fred in their head' (the children know they need to read it in their head and then say the word. This is to increase their fluency and understanding of what they have read. Finally please focus on their comprehension of the text. You can do this be using the prompts at the beginning and end of the books. Don't forget to write in their journal to say that they have done this so we know when to change their book.
In Maths they have been estimating how many and checking by counting. If you would like to support the children at home you could put small collections of objects into a jar and ask the children to estimate how many. They can record their estimate by drawing dots to represent their number or they could write the numeral. They then check how many there are by counting the objects.
Also this week the children have had a lovely story sent to us by Network Rail about keeping safe on the railways which prompted lots of really good discussions about staying safe.
Welcome back to term 2! I hope you all had a wonderful two week break. It was really lovely to see the children again and they have settled back really well.
We started the week by thinking about why we celebrate Bonfire Night with the children. We then listened to and discussed the story of Guy Fawkes and the Houses of Parliament and created some lovely firework art and most importantly talked about firework safety. The following day we looked at and compared our celebrations to another festival which often has fireworks, the festival of light ~ Diwali. The children absolutely loved listening to the story of Sita and Rama and enjoyed making masks to retell the story with as well as getting creative with mehndi and rangoli patterns.
A really big thank you to everyone who attended our maths and phonics sessions this week. It was lovely to see you and I hope it was useful. I understand it was a difficult time for everyone to attend so we will be holding a 'mop up session' on Thursday 15th November at 2.30pm ~ it really would be great if everyone could come. As one parent with a child in Year 2 said on Tuesday 'it was a really useful reminder'!
In phonics this week the children have been busy reading simple words with the sounds they have learnt this week. These are: 's' as in sun; 'a' as in apple; 't' as in tap and 'p' as in pat. This week's sight word is 'the'. Please support your children at home by looking for objects that begin with these sounds and record them and show us what you have found on Tapestry.
In maths the children have been looking for the parts in numbers and have taken part in lots of practical games and activities to support this. I wonder if they can tell you about the parts and the whole?
On Friday we found out more about Remembrance Day and the reason we wear poppies. As a whole school we had a minutes silence at 11 o'clock. The children enjoyed making and drawing their own poppies and reflecting on being thankful.
In class this week the Busy Bees have been very busy thinking about what they want to be when they grow up! They have been listening to stories, dressing up and learning about what different jobs involve! The children have had some wonderful ideas that have ranged from being superheros to mums (I would argue that is the same job!) and from astronauts to zoo keepers.
We have been really working with the children on their fine motor control and the children have been playing in the finger gym, hammering golf tees into pumpkins and doing a dough disco to aid their development. They have also used the few days of sunshine we had at the beginning of the week to work on their gross motor control by using the scooters, balls, golf equipment and big playground chalk. We are really seeing the impact of this in the children's mark making which they are all enjoying very much.
In maths this week we have been focusing on non standard measurement and as well as measuring lots of objects they also measured some wolves footprints as part of a challenge from the three little pigs! Please check your child's bag as there is a homework sheet for you to continue the learning at home.
In RE this week we have learnt about the first part of the story of Moses. In PE we have been focusing on throwing and catching. The children are really proud of themselves changing independently, thank you for helping them to do this.
We hope you have been enjoying reading the Tapestry observations about your child's learning. If you have not logged in yet or if you have any problems please talk to either Katie in the office or see one of us at the door and we will support you in accessing their diary.
This week the Busy Bees have been making up their own stories using the structure of 'the three little pigs' tale. They have had some amazing ideas for characters including three little ninja's and the big bad Pokémon, the three little dogs and the big bad butterfly and the three little diplodocuses and the big bad tyrannosaurus rex! They also explored houses around the world and looked at materials for building houses other than the traditional straw, sticks and bricks and next week we are going to be building with some of their more unusual ideas!
In maths this week we have been doing lots of counting and the children are beginning to record their maths pictorially in lots of ways including on whiteboards, with playground chalk and even in the sand. They are enjoying playing maths games and making number puzzles with their friends and we have been working on them talking about their maths and explaining their reasoning in maths.
This week the children attended our beautiful Harvest worship where they enjoyed singing harvest songs and finding out about how we can support our community. They also made their own harvest bread, we hope they enjoyed ( and maybe even shared!) the bread they made and brought home today.
This week has been all about the 'Three Little Pigs'! The Children have had fun listening to and retelling the story with some beautiful puppets. They have built houses big and houses small; houses out of Lego and houses made from real bricks. They have been architects, designers and builders and we have been so impressed by their creativity and imaginations.
The late September sunshine has provided us with some lovely opportunities to develop our core strength as we have played in the garden on the scooters and bikes. We also have explored a range of small equipment such as stilts, launchers, discs and balls as well as played in the water tray and created wonderful worlds for our dinosaurs.
We continue to learn to toy talk ready for reading and are tuning into sounds by playing some fun games and activities. We have also been playing with numbers and have been focusing on ordering them and recognising them out of sequence.
Our first full week of school has been fantastic with all the Busy Bees settling really well and enjoying their learning at St Anne's.
This week we have been doing lots of early phonics in the form of 'toy talk' and it is great to see how well the children are tuning into sounds.
We have been unpicking these rules with the children and it has been lovely to see how they are really applying them in their learning and in their play.
In Maths this week we have been counting collections of objects, looking at recognition of number and ordering numbers in their play. We have also been playing lots of listening games and enjoying the garden and the Learning Street where they have been role playing with their new friends.
Today the children had their first PE lesson where they fully changed into their PE kits, please ensure all clothes are fully named.
This week the children have stayed for lunch and been out to play in the playground and they have been absolutely superb. They have shown good manners; they have played together beautifully and we have been really proud of their attitude to learning. What a great start to school Busy Bees.
In school this week the children have been practicing writing their names using the correct letter formation and they have been making ice creams to sell in the garden. They have also been counting collections of objects accurately and they have been using lots of numbers in their play. For example they were building a wall for Humpty Dumpty in the construction area and they had to build it using 20 bricks.
Next week all the children will be in full time and we are looking forward to introducing our key text 'The Three Little Pigs'. Please remember the children will need a coat in school every day as the weather is changeable but we will be outside! We will also need PE kit in school next week.
Thank you for all your support in helping us to make the children's start in the Busy Bees so positive and happy. Remember if you are ever worried please speak to one of us as we are here to help and we want happy children and parents!
Welcome to all our new Busy Bee children and families, it has been lovely getting to know you this week. Thank you for making us so welcome on the home visits.
The children have settled really well on their first two days, it is lovely to see them already starting to come in independently and confidently. They have enjoyed exploring and playing in the classroom and the garden, starting to build friendships and getting to know new faces.
We look forward to next week, have a lovely weekend.

About Born to Run Foundation
The Born to Run Foundation is a registered Health Promotion Charity.
It is has ATO approved Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, which means any donations made to the Foundation of $2 or more are tax deductible.
The purpose of Born to Run Foundation is very clear and focussed.
The Born to Run Foundation will undertake a range of activities to raise funds to contribute towards research efforts to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. In addition the Foundation intends to have a strong focus on implementing real and tangible initiatives that will help those with diabetes and depression improve their health and fitness, assisting them in reversing the adverse impacts of these diseases.
The conclusion of the March 2012 Baker IDI institute "Diabetes the Silent epidemic" report states the following:
"Diabetes represents a major and growing challenge to the health and economy of our nation. The size of the current and future impact of diabetes on individuals, families and communities mandates that the substantial work on its management done so far is significantly expanded. New interventions are needed, and established interventions must be made available to all who would benefit from them.
Adoption of healthy lifestyles is essential for the prevention of type 2 diabetes, but substantial progress in this area will only occur within a framework of societal and government support for and facilitation of appropriate lifestyle choices. Continued government funding for research to help find a cure and improved treatments for type 1 diabetes is essential as there is no mechanism for the prevention of this disease."
By adopting the Born to Run Foundations mission – "Fitness for Fighting Diabetes" the Foundation intends to contribute to the "Framework for societal support for facilitation of appropriate lifestyle choices." which will help to reduce the growing burden on individuals and society caused by the diabetes epidemic.
Encourage, inspire and motivate people of all ages and backgrounds to improve their mental and physical health through running and exercise.
Improve the public awareness of diabetes and depression, with particular emphasis on exercise and fitness as a component of managing these diseases.
Development a range of tools and support services which will help Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics, and people with depression and other mood disorders to incorporate exercise into their lives to improve their physical fitness and mental health, which will in turn reduce the side effects and complications of their disease.
Fund medical research, with an emphasis on finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to identify suitable and promising research projects that have the potential to progress towards a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
The Born to Run Foundation has set an goal of developing a business model to enable it to make a $5 million funding commitment towards Type 1 diabetes research.

Q: Codename one: Not able to change Spanlabel style I am not able to change style of span label such as color,font.whenever I change style with codename one designer it doesn't reflect on app.
Is there any other way to change style of span label in codename one using codename one designer?
Thanks in advance.

A: Use
.getTextAllStyles()

instead of
.getAllStyles()

to modify the style of the text.
Edit
Sorry, I might have misunderstood you.
In designer I guess you should modify the "Label" UIID.
