Things doubled up...If you come up to the library to use our computers don't be surprised if you are seeing double. Thanks to a successful bid for funding from HEE we have been able to provide two screens for each of the NHS computers. If you have worked with two screens you will know how useful it is to have, for example, a spreadsheet open on one and a Word document on another at the same time. If you are not sure how to do this please ask any of the library staff for help.

Children who eat takeaways once or more each week have more body fat and higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol levels than those who never or hardly ever eat them. Their diets were also higher in fat and lower in protein and calcium. This cross-sectional study looked in depth at eating habits and risk markers for coronary heart disease, obesity and diabetes in 2,529 children in England. Though this type of study can only show an association between takeaways and risk markers, it is one of the first of its type, and the results do give cause for concern. Increasing numbers of people are eating takeaways in the UK. Local authorities and healthcare professionals are well placed to encourage parents and children to choose healthier foods, in line with current national guidance.Things about abuse...
