Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 78

Data Responsibility TalkTalk’s CEO recently admitted that they had “underestimated” the challenge of protecting their business and customers from cybersecurity threats which ultimately resulted in them being hacked last year.

1.2 million email addresses, names and phone numbers were stolen, as were 21,000 account numbers and sort codes and 28,000 partial card details.

It makes for sobering reading; how many times have we entered personal details onto websites? Or given those details out over the phone? How do we know that the information we provide is kept protected?

Should we just trust that they will keep our details, their database, safe and secure?

So much has moved online now that we cannot function without filling in forms on websites, from your Tesco delivery, to your bank account, to your DVLA updates, everything is moving away from paper.

Whilst it is large companies that bring in the headlines it is actually small businesses and individuals who are attacked most often. TalkTalk admitted that the cyber-attack cost it £60 million in terms of lost

revenue and exceptional costs, and confirmed 101,000 customers had left the company. That’s significant but probably recoverable for a large company. But what about smaller businesses? Could your business survive a cyber-attack? Just what consequences would you suffer if the data that you have on your computer about your customers were to be published online for the world to see?

There are no excuses anymore for not taking the protection of the data that you have stored on your computer seriously, especially if you are running a business. From the basics such as premium antiviruses and secure backups, to regular updates and computer health checks, through to ensuring that your website and mobile devices are secure, businesses and home users need to take their own security seriously.

Osteopathy tips

Bridgeford’s Best Bites:

Maintenance Osteopathic Treatment (M.O.T.) Many people take much better care of their car than their body. In essence the aspects of care are similar with both cars and bodies‌ A car regularly needs petrol, water, oil, and air in the tyres; also services and various repairs, usually increasingly with age. At regular services, a car may need a change of oil, spark plugs, filters, belts, etc.

When a car is old enough to require an MOT you may be advised and / or required to replace tyres, brakes, windscreen, etc. If we fill our tank with diesel when the car is designed to run on petrol, things can go badly wrong.

When the tyres are flat you can fill up the tank with the best fuel, but you will still not be able to drive; equally putting air in tyres when the fuel tank is empty will not help get you from A to B. It is necessary to give specific attention to correct a specific problem your car is having in order for it to function well for you.

Similarly with a body, some of its basic needs are fuel (good food, the right food), water, oil, air (and rest); also 'services' and various repairs, usually increasingly with age! If we are healthy, the most regular services relate to teeth and eyes and with ladies of a certain age cervical and breast checks. Many people tend to consider their health only when they are ill.

We can buy a new car but not a new body!

I notice that many people tend to come for osteopathic treatment only when something hurts and then stop coming when it feels better, which is absolutely fine.

The down side to this is that, apart from acute injuries, by the time we get symptoms and things may start to hurt, we have probably walked around with the problem for quite some time and built up a number of very clever compensations to help us deal with it; some of the compensations may start to give symptoms too.

In my experience, regular M.O.T. helps to keep the body moving and functioning well and helps to iron out the problems we are compensating for so well, before they cause symptoms. Each person is different in how often they need an M.O.T. depending on health, issues, activities, work, lifestyle, etc. Generally, M.O.Ts. can be cost effective as it can help in preventing issues from causing further problems through compensations becoming issues in themselves and taking more time and work to sort out.

We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation.

I also notice that people's symptoms start to ease when their body has not yet fully restored optimal movement and functionality. This is part of a wonderful self preservation method we have, our ability to compensate for a problem or issue. This enables us to function well even though we have problems and limitations in our bodies. We don't have to think about limping when our foot hurts, it just happens naturally; for example a young child with a hip problem can still manage to run around by using a swinging movement at the hip to use their leg; nobody needs to be taught how to do this, it just happens naturally.

Local history

Local History - Part 47

Mike Laslett

Bayko Buildings

I grew up in the 1950’s in a terraced house built of yellow London stock bricks…

I was therefore surprised to feel immediately at home when I moved to Saltdean with its great variety of house styles. I eventually realised that many of the buildings were just like the detached houses I built with my Bayko set as a child. The plastic parts and plans allowed one to build a typical 1930’s detached house if one tired of Meccano projects, Dinky toy cars, Harbutt’s plasticine or Pelham Puppets.

This was because its plastic blocks lacked any sort of integral pegging or connecting system and could therefore be thinner and have finer detail. Bayko blocks were instead threaded onto vertical metal rods inserted in a baseboard.

Invented by Charles Plimpton, a Liverpool engineer and entrepreneur, Bayko was exported throughout the British Commonwealth and became a worldwide brand between 1934 and 1967. The name derived from Bakelite, one of the world's first commercial plastics, that was originally used in its manufacture.

Here are some examples of the houses which invoked memories of my childhood projects.

With the assistance of eBay I was able to procure sufficient Bayko parts to construct the house pictured here. It is the first one I had built for 55 years so it took me a while to recall the system however I was soon back in the swing!

Bayko was a British plastic construction system designed for making 1/43-scale (gauge 0) model buildings. The Bayko system managed to achieve a finer level of detail and architectural realism than many later systems such as Lego.

You can see many Bayko models and all your other favourite toys from the 1950’s and other decades at The Brighton Toy and Model Museum located under Brighton Station at the top of Trafalgar Street.

Local History Feature

41

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part One. How did it start ? 1771 - 1809 In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain's road system was extremely basic and the majority of goods were transported by boat. Around the coast this was usually done by sailing vessels between about 60ft - 140ft and built almost entirely of wood. If there was no local port they would be hauled up the beach towards high water, loaded and/or unloaded during the tide and floated off again on the next high water.

Working like this was difficult, hazardous and because the vessels and crew were always close to the coast were extremely vulnerable to weather conditions.

Larger vessels importing goods from overseas had rudimentary navigation aids and reaching landfall at the expected time and place was also somewhat random.

This resulted in many accidents with huge loss of life. A count of vessels lost in the area twenty miles on both sides of Brighton in the local newspaper of the time revealed an average loss of around ten boats per year at this time., almost entirely in storm conditions.

There have always been emotional responses to lives in danger but it is unclear where or when the first concerted actions to save lives took place.

Early records show that in 1771 a horseback beach patrol was set up at Bamburgh Castle during storm condition with a "speaking trumpet" to attempt to warn sailors and later in 1786 a converted Coble was used here exclusively for life-saving. However later research uncovered evidence from Liverpool municipal records in 1777 for repairs to "the boat kept at Formby in readiness for recovering shipwrecked persons" and shortly afterwards a record that Richard Scarisbrook and his crew be "handsomely rewarded for good services done".

This may possibly be the first authenticated report of an organised lifeboat service in the UK. A disaster in 1789 in the mouth of the Tyne when the severity of the storm stopped any form of assistance and where the crew were clearly seen one by one dropping from the wreck into the sea, most of whom were drowned, prompted the members of a private South Shields club - The Gentlemen of the Lawe House - to offer a prize of two guineas for the design of a lifeboat.

Half the prize was awarded to the winner William Wouldhave as it was felt the design could be improved.

This was done by two of the adjudicating committee

and the construction of the vessel was given to Henry Greathead a local builder. It's success brought him great acclaim and financial reward. Named the "Original" the first of this design went into service in North Shields in 1790 and arguably was the first purpose designed lifeboat, many others being adapted vessels.

The vessel, of which 30 were built and used around the UK and abroad, was an open double ended 22ft clinker boat with five oars each side. A full complement was ten oarsmen, one or two helmsmen, a bowman who also had a steering oar and several spare crew.

In 1803 one of the Greathead designs was stationed at Newhaven and paid for by a gift from Mr John Godlee and a ÂŁ50 contribution from Lloyds. However the design was much more popular in the North East, possibly due to the different coastal conditions, and in 1809 Mr Godlee wrote to Lloyds expressing the Newhaven crew's prejudices but saying, should Lloyds agree, that Brighton would be prepared to accept the boat. In February 1809 this became Brighton's first purpose built lifeboat. Little is known about any services carried out and by 1816 it was reported as unserviceable.

Brighton's current lifeboat station was re-opened in 1977 on completion of the Marina outer walls but was demolished in March 2014 to make way for the Marina Development. At present the crew are in temporary floating accommodation, still carrying on their excellent work, and it is hoped the rebuilt station will be re-opened in July this year and once again open to the public.

Local therapist

What is Counselling?

Emily Rush

Is it for you?

Counselling and Psychotherapy are known as the 'talking therapies'. Talking things through with a trained therapist in a confidential and non-judgemental setting is the first step towards starting to live your life in the manner that you want.

At some point in our lives we will all experience situations and emotions that we cannot make sense of. There might be times when we feel anxious, guilty, ashamed, scared, depressed, overwhelmed, confused, angry, stressed, or even suicidal. Not knowing what to do with these feelings often closes the door to improving the situation. Sometimes it is a case of 'unpacking' these feelings within a safe environment that leads to making better sense of the situation. Other times it is a case of having someone listen to you that relieves the pressure.

Whatever it may be, I am a firm believer that Counselling can provide something for everyone.

People often ask why families or loved-ones can't play this role? Well there are many answers here.

Not least because friendship survives on reciprocality, whereas the client counsellor relationship does not. But more importantly, society itself is changing. Humans have spent most of the past 150,000 years living in multi-generational, multi-family groups where there was no lack of either love or interaction.

living alone has risen by 10%. With the inundation of social media, actual physical interaction occurs less and less. Isolation can be devastating for the human psyche and counselling is one way to connect on a deep level with another human being, something which can not be underestimated.

Having been through my own struggles I understand just how difficult life can be and I am committed to being non-judgemental and caring. Please feel free to call or e-mail if you would like to discuss anything.

I offer a free initial consultation which lasts 30 minutes and then each additional session lasts one hour and costs ÂŁ45. Discounts are available for longterm clients.

Over the past few years this relational milieu seems to have collapsed. The majority of people in the Western world live in families of three or less and over the past decade the number of British people

Myofascial Release Penny Koster, Holistic Pain Therapist Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space.

I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give why generally women get more lower back problems then men because these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally WORTH THE WAIT! call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or or phone me on 07951 117826

Local Personal Trainer How many of you made a New Year’s resolution to get fitter, go to the gym, lose weight, tone up or exercise more?

A new year, a new start – 2016 will be the year of the new you?!

Well a few months into 2016, I hear from many people who are finding it hard to maintain the momentum when it comes to changing their body and lifestyles.

Whatever the goal, especially with today’s busy lifestyles, the motivation and willpower can easily diminish.

Regular exercise not only has physical benefits, but maintaining an active lifestyle can result in improved memory and co-ordination and encourages the happy endorphins that can de-stress and improve our mental well-being also.

However, it is important to tailor your exercises to your own particular body to achieve the desired goals you want to reach, as we are individuals. An hour running on the treadmill every day is not going to get rid of those bingo wings, and weight training is not going to give you a six-pack you can see if you are overweight and need to burn fat.

My origins lay in the Caribbean, where a love of good food is coupled with an active healthy lifestyle. I realised at an early age that I was happier when I was fit and I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and experience I have acquired over 25 years in the Fitness Industry as a personal trainer with others.

My private home gym facilitates, one to one coaching where you can be sure that I will guide and encourage you, and keep on encouraging you to reach your goals, whatever they are.

With a free initial consultation, and subsequent one hour sessions charged on an “as you go” basis or reasonable block sessions, what have you got to lose?

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions activities in 2015 The Lions are active throughout the year with fund raising activities enabling us to make some significant donations and the club has contributed to a wide range of local service activities. This month I have listed some of the major contributions made by our club in 2015.

Through the Message in a Bottle scheme we have issued information bottles to several local elderly or vulnerable people and through collecting boxes in all libraries and doctor's surgeries approximately 620 used spectacles were collected for use in the developing world, plus 12 hearing aids. We organized two coach trips and cream teas for a total of 91 senior citizens and held Christmas lunches for 90 Senior Citizens. Also, together with other local Lions Clubs, we participated in ‘It’s a Knockout’, for people with learning difficulties.

With our main fundraising events like the Rottingdean Fayre and Saltdean Gala coming, we at the Lions look forward to another successful year of fundraising and service to local charities and the community in 2016.

For further details on any of the above, please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk.

The major donations during 2015 have included: Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice and Leo House at Home £1,410; Rottingdean Village Fair charities £976; 50% contribution (with Brighton Lions) for a wheelchair for local young person £900; Marlets Hospice £1,000; Sussex Air Ambulance Lions Night Flying Project £1,000; various cancer research charities £1,400; local youth projects (including scouts, guides, schools, etc.) £1,507; Deans Youth Project in Woodingdean with a new kitchen contribution £1,000; Support for various local senior citizen organisations £707; contribution towards senior citizens coach outings £615; contribution towards senior citizens Christmas lunches £866; Blind Veterans UK £600; disability sports projects £600; Autism Sussex £500; Southdown Housing Trust £570; and a donation to Sightsavers of £300. We also sent £1,000 in support of flood relief in Cumbria and the surrounding area and through Lions Clubs International £1,175for relief in Nepal and Taiwan together with refugee support. There were also around 30 other small donations.The total spent or pledged in 2015 was approximately £20,000.

Charity Concert with SlimShack, Rottingdean Village Hall, 12�� November Last month we had some exciting news about our confirmed charity concert to be held at the Rottingdean Village Hall. Due to circumstances beyond our control the date has had to be changed and the group has been changed to SlimShack. The concert will now be held on Saturday 12�� November at the same venue – please put this date in your diary. I look forward to seeing you there. I hope this event change won’t inconvenience anyone.

Recently, our Lions President and supporting colleagues presented to Chestnut Tree House a cheque to the value £1,000. This had been made up from the proceeds of the sponsored swim held last October at Roedean School.

Local Group Update

Saltdean & Rottingdean Badminton Club The Saltdean & Rottingdean Badminton Club are a friendly, local group who play each week for fun and fitness.

They are looking for new members to play on Monday nights from 8-9pm and Wednesday nights from either 78pm or 9-10pm, in addition to the current 6-7pm Wednesday session. This gives a choice between three sessions on Wednesdays – or to play for two hours (6-8pm) if you are feeling particularly energetic! The Monday 8-9pm and Wednesday 7-8pm sessions will start at the beginning of May, but you can try one of the current sessions out now, to see if it’s right for you. Please note that the club is proving very popular and quickly gets full each week, so always speak to Skye (who runs the group) to book your place before coming. Because of the club’s popularity, Skye is also now taking pre-bookings for May onwards, if you would like to secure one of the limited spaces in the two new sessions.

From just £3.50 per session, the group is lower in cost and offers greater freedom than other badminton clubs.

Shuttlecocks are provided free of charge and racquet hire is also available at a very pocket-friendly 50p per session.

Skye says: “We aren’t a scary, highly competitive group.

We are about having fun, getting fit and enjoying the game. We pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming group, so if you don’t have much experience playing, haven’t played in twenty or thirty years or just don’t think you’re very good, don’t worry about it! Playing badminton is a great way to stay fit, socialise or just keep your New Years’ resolution. Absolutely everyone is welcome, regardless of abilities, age, gender, etc. Don’t be afraid to give us a go – we might surprise you!”

Please note: If you pay by Direct Debit, then you pay the lower rate of £3.50 per session, but you’ll still be charged even if you can’t make a session. However, you are guaranteed a place.

Alternatively, you can pay the higher rate of £4.00 per session. This offers much more flexibility. However, you have to actively book your place every week and you are not guaranteed a place.

Saltdean & Rottingdean Badminton Club currently play from 6-7pm and 9-10pm on Wednesdays, but are looking for new players to begin from May for two new sessions – Mondays from 8-9pm (starts on 9�� May) and Wednesdays from 7-8pm (starts on 4�� May). All sessions are at Longhill Sports Centre (previously called the Deans’ Leisure Centre), in the grounds of Longhill High School, Falmer Road, Brighton BN2 7FR. If you would like to know more or to book a place, please contact Skye on 07900 705 248 or at skye.samuelson@brighton-hove.gcsx.gov.uk

Film Review from Cinema Saltdean

Suffragette Cinema Saltdean favourite Carey Mulligan returns in an inspirational story of the early feminist movement. have a memory of a woman throwing herself in “Back in the day”. Everyone seems to say this when they mean ‘back then’ or ‘this is how it used the path of a King’s horse at a horseracing to be’. Back in the day, I seem to recall the Monty meeting (as part of a high profile protest). Beyond that, we may struggle to remember much.

Python boys ending one of their most ‘Suffragette’ reminds us of the passion, courage remembered sketches with: “you tell the young and determination ordinary women showed, in people of today and they wouldn’t believe you’’. order to achieve something that is now mostly The sketch concerned several self-congratulatory taken for granted. The punishment that they men conducting a bout of one-upmanship; each suffered for their efforts was often brutal and trying to outdo the other bragging about who had always disproportionate. had the greatest struggle whilst growing up!

So, to the film ‘Suffragette’: struggle, political As the Pythons once said: “you tell the young injustice, domestic upheaval and civil unrest are people of today and they wouldn’t believe you’. all vividly represented here, bringing us a visceral, Next month ‘Brooklyn’: The Irish go to the U.S., bold and often savage account of life in the early starring the Oscar-nominated Saoirse Ronan 1900s.

Jon. We see this turbulent period in our recent history through the eyes of Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan: ‘Far From the Madding Crowd’, ‘An Education’, and ‘Never Let Me Go’). Maud is a factory worker who is drawn into the world of the suffragette almost by accident. Maud, like many other women fighting for the right to vote, is neither genteel nor educated. She sees how peaceful street protests were having no effect in furthering the cause of votes for women. Maud becomes radicalised, a foot soldier of the movement, turning to violence as the only route to change.

Maud, like others, was willing to lose everything in a fight for equality and, as a result, suffered imprisonment and family disruption. The story of Maud’s fight for dignity is as gripping and visceral as any thriller: it is also a heart-breaking and inspirational story. Mulligan gives another powerful, well-judged performance.

The film captures the period perfectly, with a terrific eye for detail and atmosphere. It is hard to believe that conditions were really so bad so relatively recently.

Votes for women may now be taken for granted, especially by those who have never been without the vote. Some may recall the name Pankhurst or To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Local News

NCT Deans Bumps and Babies NCT Deans Bumps and Babies is a weekly relaxing and informal get-together for expectant and new parents.

It is a great place for parents to share their experiences with people going through the same things and make new friends. Many new parents often need a reason to get out of the house if everything seems too much or overwhelming to socialise with people in this area. Run by committed volunteers and supported by the Brighton and Hovel NCT committee, the group welcomes parents, babies and young children as well as expectant parents in an environment suitable for very young babies. NCT set up the group after a call from parents in the Saltdean area, who wanted support in this area without having to make a trip into the city centre. It is vital for early childhood development for young babies to interact with other babies and they may make friends for life. A wide range of baby toys, soft mats and baby gyms are provided to keep the little ones happy and entertained.

As well as giving parents the chance to meet and chat, some weeks there are taster sessions from classes such as baby sensory groups, baby signing, Pilates and dance instructors. Speakers and demonstrators with skills and service to new parents are always welcome. Meetings are every Friday 11.30am - 1pm (including school holidays) with tea/coffee, cake and a chat at the Scout Hut in Longridge Avenue, Saltdean BN2 8RB. The group is open to everyone, not just NCT members. A donation of £2 is requested to contribute towards the costs of the hall hire but refreshments are FREE.

Rottingdean Art Club Rottingdean Art Club is a group of artists of varying ability who meet every Wednesday afternoon. The sessions take place at the Whiteway Centre in Rottingdean from 2pm to 4,30 pm with a social tea break at 3 pm.

A programme is usually followed which determines what subject will be painted on a particular day. Having said that, the club is quite flexible and members are allowed to paint a subject of their choice if they so like.

But having the programme pushes all the artists outside their comfort zones and encourages them to attempt a new subject or medium. Every term the club tries to organise a session with a tutor to keep everyone interested. Many interesting subjects have been done in the last year including silk painting, stone painting, life drawing, various landscapes, interesting still life compositions, collage to name a few.

The Rottingdean Art Club will be exhibiting works by its members at The Grange Gallery, Rottingdean from 7��19�� April, 2016. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. There will be paintings for sale at the exhibition and you could find something beautiful for your home or office there.

If you are an artist or would like to explore your creative side do give the club a call and you could join. Maybe you will be exhibiting with the Rottingdean art Club next year.
