Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 84

Which Antivirus? If you use your computer to go online, you need antivirus protection. It doesn’t matter whether you only check emails once in a while, or just check the BBC news, if you go online you need to protect your data and your computer. So, you know you need an antivirus, but which one do you chose? Whilst it’s tempting to go for a free version, there are solid reasons to opt to pay for a security product that will keep your computer better protected. Ask the following questions before deciding what is best for you. Will My Antivirus Cover: Anti-spyware software and does it include a firewall? Regular updates to keep me up-to-date with the latest security threats? Parental controls to keep the whole family safe?

Is it a premium service provider, i.e. it will be updated as soon as the latest threats are discovered? Does it cover just one computer or can I install the same protection on two or more computers in my home? My mobile devices as well, like my phone? Will it clash with systems already in place on my computer? Here at Dolphin the software antivirus package we recommend is the one we use ourselves -BullGuard. We use it because we know it works. But in addition, it has been awarded ‘best buy’ and ‘best-in-test’ by the leading independent consumer testing organisations, including the Which Best Buy in the UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium and Germany. If you would like know more about keeping your computer, your data, and your family safe online then please get in touch with us.

Osteopathy tips

Bridgefordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Bites:

Carpal tunnel Syndrome A common condition affecting more women than men of all ages, increasingly with age, particularly affecting menopausal women. CTS causes pain, numbness and a tingling or burning sensation in the hands and fingers; also weakness in the hands and fingers and a dull ache spreading into the forearm. Anatomy: The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in the wrist between the small carpal bones; it has a tough band of elastic tissue, the carpal ligament across it that supports the movement of the tendons that attach the muscles to the fingers to bend them. The median nerve passes through the armpit, down the arm and through the carpal tunnel to the fingers. Symptoms: Most symptoms are caused by irritation of the median nerves that control movement and sensation in the hands; giving pain, numbness and tingling, mostly in the thumb, index, middle fingers and half of the ring finger. Symptoms usually develop gradually and can tend to be worse first thing in the morning and at night. Other symptoms include dull ache in the arm and hand, swelling and change of skin colour in the hand, weakness and wasting of the muscles, particularly at the base of the thumb. Weakness can affect the grip and cause you to drop things. Symptoms can be aggravated by repetitive movements or by keeping the arm still for a long time. Causes: Compression of the median nerves that control movement and sensation in the hands. Pressure on the nerve can disrupt signals affecting movement and sense of touch. The cause it not always known though it can be related to and the risk increased by repetitive or strenuous use of the hand, such as in playing a musical instrument, manual labour or vibrating tools; injuries to the wrist, pregnancy, family history of CTS, or conditions such as diabetes, underactive thyroid, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation and swelling.

Prevention: Avoid repetitive tasks that aggravate the symptoms. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the arm, hand and fingers and all surrounding tissues; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess nerve pathways. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests and determine the root cause. Treat to improve strength, functionality and movement and reduce tension, nerve irritation, inflammation, pain and swelling. Advice regarding use of the hand and wrist, rehabilitation exercises and stretching, wrist splint or taping for support. Treatment may include manipulation, deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascial techniques, dry needling, etc. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation. Lin Bridgeford DO KFRP MICAK MICRA FSCCO MSc Registered Osteopath & Kinesiologist & Yoga Teacher Aether Bios Clinic Saltdean 01273 309557 07710 227038 www.osteo-info.co.uk www.biosyoga.co.uk

Diagnosis: Your doctor may tap your wrist to see if you feel tingling or numbness in your fingers; flexing your wrist or holding it above your head for a minute may produce the same symptoms. A blood test may be suggested to rule out diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Nerve conduction tests can measure the nerve transmission and determine any nerve damage, X-ray will rule out fractures and ultrasound scan allows examination of the structure of the median nerve. Treatment: Some cases resolve without treatment, self-care may improve the symptoms in others. With pregnancy CTS, symptoms may take 3-12 months to resolve after birth. Mild cases can be helped by non-surgical treatments such as corticosteroid injections or by wearing a wrist support to protect the nerve. Ibuprofen may help relieve inflammation, though there is no evidence to support this as a treatment. Carpal tunnel release surgery may be recommended, particularly to prevent nerve damage; mild cases may have immediate relief of symptoms, severe cases may still take a while to recover.

Local history

Local History - Part 52

Mike Laslett

Harvest Time

Brighton has been a popular bathing resort since Dr Russell of Lewes promoted seawater treatment in the 1750’s. This was furthered by the arrival of the Prince Regent and his entourage in 1783.

Rottingdean by contrast was always an agricultural community, the beach merely a convenient access point for smugglers. The scene here in Dean Court Road was a familiar sight as sheep were driven to drink at The Pond in their hundreds. Sheep were grazed for their wool and meat, while teams of oxen were used to plough the fields for the grain harvest.

Steve Barrow

Moppett the Shepherd

The documents on display also include a thatching agreement which states “no beer allowed …1 ½ d to be paid instead of beer.”

The last major farmer was William Brown of Challoners who farmed Court Farm into the twentieth century. A 1922 plan of the farm shows that it extended as far as Saltdean, which was then open land except for three barns, the coastguard cottages and Bannings Farm. The three barns still exist, though much altered: Saltdean Barn in the Oval, Looes Barn and Newlands Barn. Ox man Luke Hillman had a cottage at Newlands Barn, probably the only cottage in Saltdean at the time it was built.

A flavour of the agricultural past of The Deans can be seen this month in the Rottingdean Preservation Society display in the entrance hall of The Grange, Rottingdean. You may view some accounts relating to Court Farm, some of whose barns now form Tudor Close. These include the account book of David Turner, the appropriately named wheelwright; a record of the names and wages of agricultural labourers in 1896 and John Copper’s lambing account. The Copper family featured greatly in the farming life of Rottingdean. James Copper (‘Brasser’) was the farm bailiff and his son John one of many shepherds.

Some shepherds became famous in their own right: John Dudeney the scholar shepherd 1782 -1852 who studied and became a schoolmaster; John Henty who fought in the Crimea and Steve Barrow (pictured) who died in 1932 and was so sure that Kipling would steal his songs that he refused to sing them in his presence!

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Six 1900 - World War 1 period. At the turn of the century Brighton had two Lifeboats. The Brighton Corporation boat "John Whittingham" still in service since 1879 and the RNLI Station boat the "Sunlight No 2". Very few details of services exist but in April 1900 HMS Resolute anchored off Brighton and sent a small boat ashore which capsized in the rough conditions. The "John Whittingham " launched and rescued the two occupants. In April 1904 the ketch "Antelope" sprang a leak in strong westerly conditions and her crew ran her ashore. The RNLI "Sunlight No 2" was called but insufficient crew were available and she eventually launched with a mixed crew from the two lifeboats and saved the three crew from the casualty vessel. The last service of "Sunlight No 2" was in August 1904 to the SS"Marquis of Lorne" which was in trouble in a severe gale and heavy seas off Saltdean. Ultimately the lifeboat was not required but the conditions were so bad it was unable to return to Brighton but made safe landfall at Newhaven until conditions improved. In December 1904 "Sunlight No 2" was replaced by a new 35ft 10 oared self righting boat built at the Thames Ironworks in London provided from a legacy by Mr Wallis from East Street, Brighton. After a service of dedication by the Bishop of Chichester it was named the "William Wallis" by Lady Louise Loder. During the next decade records for the "William Wallis" are again sparse but there were several services, mainly to small vessels. From 1914 and the start of WW1 everything changed. The most serious was the immediate loss of revenue as all financial appeals were abandoned except those involving the war effort. Most Coastguards were withdrawn, often to be replaced by boy scouts who, in time, became remarkably efficient. Lifeboat crews, shore committees, headquarters staff all answered the call to the Colours. With human and financial resources reduced to almost nothing matters were not any easier at sea. Whenever lifeboats were called they had to work under unprecedented conditions. All coastal lights were extinguished, buoys and beacons removed, large areas were extensively mined, lightships while unlit but still in place were forbidden to report casualties by gunfire or wireless. The final frustrating rule, sometimes defied, was that Lifeboats could not proceed on services without the permission of the Naval officer in charge of the district. These officers were often inexperienced in lifeboat matters and reportedly sometimes actively obstructive. Previously lifeboat crews had come from a fairly small group of personnel. Beach communities, fishermen, Coastguards, etc. but now that had to change. Older men filled the places of sons and grandsons, shore crews stood in, in fact any fit person could be taken. Farm or any horses available were used for launching as the dray horses had been taken. Everybody stood together in any way they could. Around the country lifeboats were needed even more as warfare took it's toll on shipping and people. Crew details are sparse but the "William Wallis" carried out several excellent services during this period. In November 1913 during a North Easterly gale the fishing vessel "Emilie" was reported missing. After an exhaustive search she was found five miles off Lancing, her crew exhausted and towed back to Brighton. In July 1915 the Schooner "Marie Celine" had her sails blown out and her rigging damaged in a South Westerly

gale. The lifeboat soon found her, put three crew onboard and with the lifeboat's assistance managed to bring her safely into Newhaven. In October the same year the "William Wallis" spent nine hours at sea overnight searching for a small dinghy before it was learnt it's crew were safe ashore. In July 1917 "The Emilie" lost her nets and got into difficulty off Lancing. She was rescued and safely towed back to Brighton. In July 1918 a gale and thunderstorm arose suddenly endangering six small rowing boats, with a total of eight crew off Brighton. All were successfully rescued although some of the boats were awash when reached. Lifeboat design around the world at this time was following a similar programme with mainly retro fitted power units. America had around a hundred similar craft in service, the latest with " six cylinder four stroke Holmes" engines. Germany had about four with France and Holland three apiece and one in Spain. As a result of WW1 considerable effort had gone into the design and reliability of petrol engines and this was shown by the vastly improved design of motorised lifeboats which started to appear from this time onwards. During the first hundred years of the lifeboat service when nearly every lifeboat was a pulling boat with auxilliary sails one of the main points of discussion was whether the boats could or should be self righting. Making pulling boats self right introduced increased windage and instability. Weight was also a problem and in almost all cases the crew preferred the non righting vessels for ease of usage and handling. Between the wars when lifeboats started to be designed and built to include initially one and later two engines the debate raged on but the weight of the engines became advantageous in the very slow movement towards designing self righting lifeboats. In fact even as late as 1957 when the RNLI had an active and reserve fleet of nearly 180 vessels only six were self righters and it was as late as 1970 that the decision was made by the Committee of Management, following some very sad disasters, that all lifeboats should be made self righting within the next ten years. If your group, school, scouts,etc. would like talks or Station visits please call Margaret Kimber on 07786 446901 Compiled by Alan Young 07950 224122

Neighbourhood Watch

PCSO - Kate Mitchell I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Police Community Support Officer for the areas of Rottingdean, Ovingdean, West Saltdean, Roedean, Brighton Marina, and Sussex University. From 4th July I took over the role from PCSO Helen Richardson who has recently left the force. I have been a PCSO for over 8 years, covering Moulsecoomb for 4 years and then Sussex University for 3 years, before going on maternity leave last year. During my 8 years as a PCSO I have worked on a number of neighbourhood issues, including; off-road motorbikes and youth disorder in Moulsecoomb - working with a number of agencies. I have also worked on tackling bike thefts, laptop thefts, and student targeted burglaries within the University (on and off-campus). I have enjoyed working in Moulsecoomb, and the University, however I believe change is good and therefore look forward to facing new challenges within my newly allocated areas. Over the next few weeks I will be visiting local businesses, introducing myself and passing on my contact details. In the meantime, however, if you wish to discuss any matters with me please use the details below. However, I need to stress that if there are any matters that need to be reported

officially then it needs to go via 101 initially.

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 Scout Group

Volunteers Needed Have you ever been a beaver, cub or scout? How about one of your children or relatives? It’s highly likely that someone you know very well has had an amazing experience as part of the Scouts. There are over 90 groups in East Sussex, with two in the Deans area: 23�� Brighton in Rottingdean and 42ⁿ� Brighton in Saltdean. These two groups have over 130 children taking part in weekly activities, with nights away during term time and go on camping trips during the holidays. They are supported by our teams of volunteers who do a great job. The thing is that our teams would really like to have some extra bodies, leaders, trustees to help spread the load. Many hands make light work and all that! Can you spare an hour or two during term time to help these fantastic local groups who do such a great job to get even better and even stronger? You don’t have to be an adventurer like Bear Grylls - he’s our Chief Scout - to get involved with Scouting. Do you have first aid knowledge? Are you good with numbers? Handy in the kitchen? Or are you a DIY whiz? We all have useful skills and you can volunteer and help in many ways. Volunteering with us is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is completely up to you. Whether you help out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events or camps, there is bound to be a role you can play, and no matter how you get involved, we'll make sure you're properly trained and supported. You don’t even have to work with children or young people; there are behind the scenes roles too.

As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers the chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. A study found that over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives. It’s fun, adventurous, and you make lots of new friends - young and old! As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. Please contact David Floud on 07947 764817 or on david.floud@scouts.org.uk to have an informal conversation about how you can get involved.

Local Group

Rottingdean Camera Club 42 years ago Rottingdean Camera Club was borne with a few local photographers meeting to discuss focal length, f numbers, film speed and other photographic topics as well as taking and commenting on their photos, all on prints and slides… That has now changed as we are now in the digital age. After all these years the club is still going strong, meeting between Oct and the end of April every other Monday night at the Whiteways Centre Rottingdean. The meetings include illustrated talks on photographic themes and a photo competition, for those who wish to enter, ending with a winner and best photo awards, all carried out in a friendly and encouraging manner. During the summer we usually hold one or two photoshoots at venues around the area. This year for instance,we have visited Newhaven Fort and RNLI Shoreham. At the beginning of the season we have a show of members photographic efforts as well as what else they have been up to during the summer, photographically. Next year we are holding an exhibition in the William Nicholson Gallery at the Grange in Rottingdean where we show off our talents, or not, to the public. We are a small and friendly club and have room for more members, experienced or not so experienced photographers, there is always someone to help you with your queries and you could even have some of your photographic efforts hanging in the exhibition. So if you wish to join or learn more about our club, contact me, Alan Smallman on 01273 302967, speak to one of our members on our stand at the Rottingdean Village Fair on the 6�� August or just turn up at the Whiteways Centre on 3�� Oct at 7.30 where a warm welcome awaits you.

News from Cinema Saltdean

Joy

(Cert 12a)

Drones, nice frocks, bigotry and a mop – it must be the new season at Cinema Saltdean! Welcome to the new season of films: I hope your summer was good. What does the new season hold? Well, the first three films have powerful female performances from Cinema Saltdean favourites, including Kate Winslet, wearing haute couture in the Australian Outback but having trouble with her past; Helen Mirren, wearing military fatigues, having trouble with terrorists; and Jennifer Lawrence in an extended family, having a bit of trouble with a mop. The first of these is ‘Joy’: Jennifer Lawrence (‘The Hunger Games’, ‘Silver Linings Playbook’), plays Joy Mangano, real-life business woman, battling against all commercial odds and an obstructive, discouraging family, to get her business off the ground. It’s unlikely that when you mop the floor you think of Jennifer Lawrence, but this film may change that. Joy is an eternal inventor / creator; the commercial success of her inventions being restricted only by financial constraint. Joy is at the heart of a family for whom she makes constant sacrifices. Everyone turns to her, which results in her forgoing her own life; she gives up the idea of attending college, so that she can see her parents through their divorce. She takes unsatisfying work, to make ends meet, as a ticket issuer with an airline company. She lives with her mother, Terry (Virginia Madsen: ‘Candyman’, ‘Sideways’) who spends all day in bed in watching soaps. Joy also has an unsupportive ex-husband and two children: something has to give. Joy is however determined to take to the American people her latest invention, the Miracle Mop: an easy-to-wring-out floor cleaning mop, a novelty in the US in the early 90s. No matter how much of a revolution in domestic cleaning this might have been, there are those around her who will not see the value of the product or the person behind it. The film has a chaotic opening sequence that looks like a badly edited home movie. I think it takes fifteen minutes for the film to settle down and engage. When I first saw it, I thought it was just poor narrative but actually, seeing it a second time, I get it. The family is chaotic, so our introduction to them has to be equally chaotic: this way we are dropped into Joy’s world without explanation and left to make sense of it.

Watch out for the sequence where Joy tells her halfsister not to represent the business in the future – you will feel her pain! Added fascination - if you were ever curious about the addictive, but financially dangerous, TV shopping channels, then ’Joy’ offers you a behind-the-scenes glimpse of this synthetic world, as Joy tries to get her domestic wonder-mop sold to the US Nation. Watch out too for an excellent supporting performance from Bradley Cooper, hotly tipped by Robert De Niro to have a bright future; whilst De Niro himself plays one of his better supporting roles of recent years: although you may feel like throwing something at him at one point in the film. Next month: slapstick, comedy, fun, bigotry and nice frocks in the Australian outback as Kate Winslet defends her past, her reputation and rekindles her relationship with her somewhat odd mother. That’s Tuesday October 25��. Doors: 7:00pm Film: 7:30pm. Jon

Book review

Douglas d’Enno with his new book

Local Author on the Right Track

Douglas d’Enno's name and books will no doubt be familiar to a fair number of this magazine's readers. Many probably still have their copies of his Saltdean Story, which appeared back in 1985. His latest offering is Sussex Railway Stations Through Time, presented in a fascinating 'then and now' format. It provides the reader with a wide selection of images of nearly all of Sussex’s stations, whether lost, converted or operational. Some of the changes are startling, such as at Rotherfield, where the former trackbed behind the splendidly restored station house has been converted into a swimming pool (see photos). At Ardingly, the station's platforms have largely deteriorated (although the elegant station house survives up at road level and is used as offices), but remnants of them may be seen on the ‘now’ image featured on the extraordinary front cover of Douglas's book. Today the site behind the photographer is still open for business – as an aggregates production depot, with a few trains a week bringing in stone from Somerset and, occasionally, granite from Wales. At Heathfield, the station house survives as the premises of Steamer Trading Cookshop & Café, which has operated in the building for the last 13 years.

Line Stations. There is a historical county railway map at the end of the book. The book is an intriguing and fact-filled record which can be enjoyed not only by readers interested in past and present railways in our county but also by those with an interest in the heritage, architecture and social history of Sussex. Sussex Railway Stations Through Time is published by Amberley Press, Stroud. It is priced at £14.99 and is available at most bookstores and, of course, online from the publisher or other sites, such as Amazon.

Rotherfield Station in its operational days - it closed in 1965

These, and many other interesting comparisons and developments, are all waiting to be discovered in this new and unusual volume. Since the publisher's policy for this series is to have no index, the author has provided a contents table breaking down the pages into three parts: Lost Main Line Stations; Heritage Railways; Tramways and Branches; and Operational Main Rotherfield - nearly unrecognisable today

Local News update

Saltdean Dining Club It’s not about the food… People sometimes ask if there are vegan and veggie options at our venues and I say “Yes always, but it's really about the company, not just the food.” And July's outing (our fourth) at the Spanish Lady brought us some special new company, new to both the area and to our club. Non-stop lively conversation across the tables was the order of the evening: you know you've enjoyed it when you don't want to leave at the end. The most popular choice of dish was bangers and mash, a speciality of the house, which I myself enjoyed a lot: I must say the portions they serve are very generous! The service was excellent, the staff being most attentive and prompt. We meet on the last Wednesday of each month and we look forward to welcoming yet more new people, as well as our regulars. To book, please email LearnTheSecret@outlook.com or text 07530 051 576. Jack Berwitz Coordinator Dates: 28 September. 26 October. 30 November. 28 December.

The park has Wifi and free parking and you get to watch the jumpers from the viewing gallery. If you’re looking for a party venue, Sky High also hosts birthday parties.
