Rebecca Adlington, OBE (born 17 February 1989) is a British former competitive swimmer who
specialised in freestyle events in international competition. She won two gold medals at the 2008
Summer Olympics in the 400-metre freestyle and 800-metre freestyle, breaking the 19-year-old world
record of Janet Evans in the 800-metre final. Adlington was Britain's first Olympic swimming champion
since 1988, and the first British swimmer to win two Olympic gold medals since 1908. She won bronze
medals in both the women's 400-metre and 800-metre freestyle events in the 2012 Summer Olympics
in London.
Adlington was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, where she attended The Brunts School. She started
swimming with Sherwood Colliery Swimming Club, and was selected for the Nottinghamshire County
Elite Squad (Nova Centurion Swimming Club). She swam in local swimming leagues for Nottingham
Leander Swimming Club, having taken part in the National Speedo 'B' Final in May 2010. Adlington's
great-uncle was former Derby County goalkeeper Terry Adlington, and she is a keen Derby supporter.
On 5 February 2013, Adlington retired from all competitive swimming, at the age of 23. Since retiring
as a competitor, she has worked for BBC TV as a swimming pundit at the Olympic Games and World
Aquatics Championships, and made various other media appearances.

Year of the vegan? Record numbers sign up for Veganuary
On Sunday alone, 14,000 people pledged to go meat-free for first month of new year
As the hangovers kick in and promises are made at the end of the festive season, more and
more people are committing to making a lifestyle change that may require stronger
willpower than, say, going to the gym more than once in the first month of the year.
Record numbers have signed up to “Veganuary” and will try living on a plant-based diet, at
least for a few weeks. With vegan options becoming cheaper, and more widespread and
convenient, organisers of the initiative believe 2019 will be the year of the vegan.
Since the movement started five years ago, participant numbers have more than doubled
each year and a total of more than 250,000 people in 193 countries have signed up. Rich
Hardy, head of campaigns at Veganuary, said that on Sunday alone 14,000 people pledged to
go vegan for the first month of 2019 – a rate of one every six seconds.
“In 2018 there hasn’t been a week that has gone by without veganism hitting the headlines,
whether it is a magazine editor being fired or Waitrose launching a new range of products,”
Hardy said. “Vegan products are getting a lot better and it is becoming a lot more convenient
to have a tasty plant-based diet.”
He suggested stark warnings from scientists about the environmental cost of meat had
persuaded many people who would not previously have considered veganism to give it a try.
In May, scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming
does to the planet declared that avoiding meat and dairy products was the single biggest
thing an individual could do for the environment.
Joseph Poore, of Oxford University, who led the research, said: “A vegan diet is probably the
single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth – not just greenhouse gases but
global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down
on your flights or buying an electric car.”
According to the supermarket chain Waitrose, a third of UK consumers say they have
deliberately reduced the amount of meat they eat or removed it from their diet entirely.
One in eight Britons are now vegetarian or vegan, and a further 21% say they are flexitarian
– where a largely vegetable-based diet is supplemented occasionally with meat.
Chris Packham is among the celebrities to sign up to this year’s Veganuary, while the Tory
MP Andrea Jenkyns and Green party peer Jenny Jones have joined the ranks and the Labour
MP Kerry McCarthy, a committed vegan, has called on other parliamentarians to take the
pledge.
Many regard 2018 as the year that veganism moved out of the realms of counter-culture
and into the mainstream. Hardy said that while vegans and veganism were sometimes
portrayed as judgmental and exclusive, movements like Veganuary aimed to be as fun and
inclusive as possible.
Like all New Year resolutions, sticking to veganism can be tricky, but Hardy urged those who
try it not to worry unduly. “If you fall off the wagon, you fall off the wagon,” he said. “Just
pick yourself up, remind yourself why you signed up to the pledge in the first place and start
afresh. It is meant to be fun and enjoyable.”

Principal’s Reading 14th Jan Achieve at BBA ‘Kicking Through Mental Health’ with Remi Allen (Reading FC Women) The idea is to share so that we all (be it me, you, parent, coach, team mate, teacher, fan etc) remember that we are not alone, that even if it might not seem like it, so many of us have our struggles. And there is hope. Remi Allen (Reading) has made this happen. I’ll share her words to explain why she and her friends in the game decided to do this because she does it better than me. These women are inspiring. These are their stories. JEN O’N (SK Ed) REMI EXPLAINS: To be fair, it is something I have wanted to do for a while. It’s not one of those things like ‘I want you to know my business and to know how I have struggled’. It was on ‘World Mental Health Day’ and I was on social media seeing so many people coming out and saying how they know people who are struggling or that they are struggling, or their daughters, sons, whomever. As female footballers, we have a powerful influence and can be huge role models, especially to children. I thought, if I can share my experience and I can get other players to share their own, then potentially, how much difference could we make? Whether it is one person, or a lot of people, if we can just get youngsters and adults to know that it’s okay not to be okay and that it is also okay to speak out.
HERE IS REMI’S STORY Has something outside of football or outside of your control affected your training and/or playing?
Yes. There’s been quite a few periods of my career where outside factors have affected my game or my ability to train to my best. There are always going to be external factors in life because, well, that’s just life I guess. However, through certain periods of my life I have definitely struggled a lot more than anybody knew about and certainly a lot more than I would have liked too.
What were the problems, if you can explain?
I had a very unstable upbringing. My mum and dad were both alcoholics and my mum certainly suffered with many mental health problems. I ended up not really seeing my mum or having much contact with her from the age of 13 onwards. I lived with my dad and that was a very abusive hostile upbringing. I cut ties with my dad as I got older but there were many damaging effects from the years spent in his care as well as my mums. I had three younger sisters so I had a lot of responsibility on me to look after them and protect them from stuff. I developed a lot of anxiety issues and looking back now probably bouts of depression as well. It probably impacted every aspect of my life without me even realising. I always felt quite negative towards most things and like I couldn’t cope with simple tasks or even look forward to the day ahead on bad days. I would make bad decisions in terms of relationships and my general life all because of the mind set I was in, I had a lot of anger towards my parents and it just wasn’t a good place to be in at all.
How did it affect your football? Did it happen ‘overnight’ or build slowly?
Sometimes it wouldn’t affect my football at all, often football was an escape for me and it allowed me to feel ‘free’ from all my worries and my problems. It almost felt like my saviour. However sometimes it would affect me, I wouldn’t feel in control of my emotions and I would struggle to deal with silly things, like refereeing decisions or getting beat 1v1 for example. Sometimes it would make me feel quite lonely and I would keep myself to myself, feeling anxious or depressed can feel like the loneliest place in the world.
How long did it take for you to realise this was a problem and and do something about it?
Ithink I always knew it wasn’t quite right the way I was feeling but it took me years to finally admit it to myself and to anyone else and to be in a place where I wanted to go and get help.
Did you tell your coach or team mates?
The only person I really opened up to was my best friend, who also happened to be my team mate. I never fully admitted to her the extent of how I felt but she was the only one I felt comfortable enough to say anything to. I think close friends were kind of aware I was struggling but it was never really addressed that I was struggling with anxiety or depression.
If yes, what happened?
She encouraged me to open up a little more and to go out and seek some professional help. She never once judged me or made me feel bad about anything I was feeling. She supported me throughout and became my sounding board almost. She’s a big reason I’ve coped the way I have and took the steps I needed to help myself.
If no, why not?
I never told any of my coaches because I couldn’t bare the thought of being judged or being treated differently. I didn’t want them to think I was weak or that I couldn’t handle things because I always no matter what wanted to play.
Did you look elsewhere for help? Where and did you find it?
I contacted the Professional Footballer’s Association (PFA) who were amazing to me. They got me in with a counsel-lor pretty quickly and I started my journey to my recovery from there. I feel like counselling was a huge step but it’s definitely something that I would recommend as sometimes managing the battles on your own is just too much.
What did you do or do you to manage it or make it better?
Along with my counselling, I now read as many self-help books as possible (I recommend Susan Jeffers). I listen to podcasts daily and I have also started meditation. I try to surround myself with good, honest, people who all sup-port me on my battle.
Did it come back or did something else come along and affect you in a different or similar way? How did you cope?
I believe it’s something that I will always have to live with as I basically have throughout my entire life. I now know with the right coping mechanisms and things in place it is something that I can handle. There of course will be good and bad days but I feel in a much stronger place to handle whatever it is.
Is there something you wish you had done differently? What would that be and what would you say to someone who is facing the same issues?
I would say SPEAK OUT! Don’t be ashamed of how you feel, we all have struggles and issues. It doesn’t matter if you are the most famous person on earth, or you have all the money in the world, people still struggle. By speaking out you take back the power and you will be surprised how much people want to help and support you.
How do you think having these issues/problems have affected you as a player and as a person?
I actually think as a player in a way it has helped me. I focused all my positive energy on football, it gave me the desire to succeed and it also helped with my self confidence because it was something I was good at and got praise for. As a person I think I’ve allowed it to consume a lot of my life and I’ve spent many years feeling miserable, mis-understood and lonely. However, since I’ve decided to go and get help and get my head around beating this illness I’ve felt so much stronger. I have an excitement about life again and I feel very proud of myself.
Do you or did you feel embarrassed, guilty or weak?
I think for a long time I felt very weak and pretty shameful for feeling the way I did. I was scared to be honest for the fear of being judged. In earlier years in my sporting environment it wasn’t something that was really spoken about. Now I see it totally differently. I feel strong and I feel proud of my journey and I would love my story to help anyone who feels in anyway like I have.
Is there any other advice or suggestions you can offer?
Please remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It really is okay not to be okay. There are so many organisations out there who can help you, there’s so many resources available to you that can help too. Always remember that people are here to help: friends, family or even strangers. Speak out and let them support you. It may seem scary and that nobody will understand but I promise you they will.

Section 3: Facts/Context/Historical
The play is set between the 1960s
and the 1980s. The sixties were a
time of optimism and social
change, but the eighties was a
time of economic depression and
high unemployment.
During the sixties and
seventies, many inner-city
slums were knocked down
and people moved to “New
Towns”. This was fine until
the industries in the town
closed.
Of course, there were well off
people in Liverpool and
Skelmersdale (think of the Lyons).
However, under eighties Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher , many
of the traditional jobs in the area
disappeared and working class
people were left jobless—on the
dole. Upper Class = the extremely
wealthy.
Middle Class = people with
good jobs and qualifications
(the Lyons).
Working Class = manual
workers and those who have
lower status jobs.
Poverty Line = people on
benefits or very low paid
work (Mrs Johnstone).

Subject: GCSE Computer Science: 1.2 Memory Year: 9 Term: Spring 1 Achieve at BBA Section 1: Key Vocabulary
Tier 3 Vocabulary Definition
RAM
Random Access Memory: Volatile (data lost when
power is off) Read and write. Purpose: temporary
store of currently executing instructions and their da-
ta. E.g. applications and the operating system in use.
ROM
Read Only Memory: Non-volatile (data retained when
power is off) Read only. Purpose: stores instructions
for starting the computer called the bootstrap.
Virtual
Memory
Using part of the hard disk as if it were random access
memory. Allows more applications to be open than
physical memory could hold.
Flash Memory Solid state (no moving parts). Faster than a hard disk
drive. Robust. Used to store the BIOS.
Volatile Data is lost when the power is turned off
Non-volatile Data is not lost when the power is turned off
BIOS
Basic Input Output System - used to setup the hard-
ware when the computer is turned on and load the
operating system from secondary storage. Another
term for bootstrap.
Bootstrap Used to setup the hardware when the computer is
turned on and load the operating system from second-
ary storage. Another term for BIOS.
Primary memory
The main memory of a computer used to temporarily
store currently executing instructions and their data.
Commonly named RAM.
Secondary
memory
Non volatile storage devices typically inside a comput-
er where operating systems and user files are stored,
e.g. Mechanical Hard Drive or SSD
Offline storage Storage devices that can be stored away from the
computer, e.g. CD, DVD, USB memory stick
PGOnline pages 9—10
Section 2: Important Ideas
RAM purpose To store programs or data currently in use
RAM is volatile
This is why when your computer crashes or there is
a power cut, any files that have not been saved
(written to the hard drive) are lost.
RAM
Is an internal component that plugs into the
motherboard. It is available in different capacities
and formats. It is available in single sticks of 4, 8, 16
and 32GB. The sticks are usually installed in pairs,
fours, sixes or eights. Very easy to upgrade.
Upgrades will only make a difference if it RAM
capacity is the bottleneck slowing down the system.
BIOS is
configurable
The BIOS allows the speed that the CPU, RAM and
memory can run to be modified, affecting system
performance. This can make the system less reliable.
They also include a set of slower default values that
the system can be reset to in the event of failure.
Virtual
memory is
slow!
RAM runs at approximately 1/10 th of the speed of
the CPU. Hard drives run at less than 1/10th of the
speed of the RAM
Virtual
memory is
used when
RAM is full
So to improve the speed and responsiveness of a
system, especially when multitasking (running
multiple programs at the same time), install more
RAM
Section 3:
RAM ROM Commonly 4-8GB, professional work
stations have up to 128GB, Servers may
have over 1TB and some
supercomputers have over 1PB!
8-16MB is common, some BIOS’s have
a GUI, and have started to use 32MB
chips
Volatile—Data is lost when the power is
turned off (temporary memory)
Non-volatile—data is NOT lost when
power is turned off (permanent
memory)
Stores user data/programs/part of
operating system that is currently in
use
Use to store the BIOS/bootstrap
loader which is required at start –up
of the computer
Memory can be written to or read from Memory can only be read from and
NOT written to
Task:
Using the diagrams, explain the purpose of
virtual memory, how it works and why it is
important.

Section 1: Key Vocabulary
Tier 3 Vocabulary Definition
Variable A place in memory to store a value that can be changed by a
program while it is running
Constant A place in memory where a value is stored that is not
changed while a program is running (e.g. pi)
Inputs Any information or data which goes into a system
Outputs Any information of data which leaves a system.
Assignments Giving a variable or constant a value. e.g. counter = 0
Sequence One of the 3 basic programming constructs. Instructions
happening one after the other in order is sequence.
Selection
One of the 3 basic programming constructs. Instructions
which can evaluate a Boolean expression and then branch the
code to one or more alternatives paths is branching/
selection.
Iteration
One of the 3 basic programming constructs. A section of
code which can be repeated either a set number of times
(count controlled) or a variable number of times based on the
evaluation of a Boolean expression e.g. WHILE x!=5 (condition
-controlled).
Data Type The name given to specify the type of data stored in a
variable or constant.
Integer A data type used to store positive and negative whole
numbers.”In python this is referred to as a ’int’
Real A data type used to store a number with a decimal place, eg
3.54. In python this is referred to as a ‘float’
Character A single alphanumeric character or symbol.
String A sequence of alphanumeric characters and or symbols. e.g. a
word or sentence, #123dsc!£
String
Manipulation
Commands and techniques which allow you to alter and
extract information from textual strings e.g. LENGTH, LEFT,
RIGHT, SUBSTRING, UPPER, LOWER, ASC, CHAR etc.
Comments Used by a programmer to explains sections of code. Ignored
by the compiler.
Indentation Indenting makes it easy to see where structures begin and
end. Conditions and iterations should be indented. Code
inside procedures and functions should be indented.
Section 2: Important Ideas
Questions: Answers:
What are
suitable
variable
names?
Variable names cannot begin with a number
Variable names cannot use python command
words, e.g. print
Variable names cannot include spaces
Variable names should be consistent throughout
a program
Variable names must be descriptive
Examples:
firstName, surname, age, favourite_Colour
What are
camelCaps?
camelCaps is a naming convention for variables with
multiple word names which capitalises the first letter of
the second and subsequent words, forming a hump.
This makes the names easier for programmers to read.
Examples are addressLine1, yearOfBirth, countOfApples
What is
casting?
Converting a variable from one data type to
another. e.g. variable entered as a string, but
needs to be an integer for calculation. age =
INPUT(“Enter your age: “) #stored as a string
age = int(age) #cast to an INT
Other examples
distance = float(distance) #cast to a FLOAT
distance = str(distance) #cast to a string
Why are
comments
important?
Comments help other programmers to
understand the purpose of your code. This makes
it easier for other people to repair, improve or
maintain the code.
Key Syntax
print() Used to output text to screen
print("Hello World")
name = “Bob” print(“Hello “ + name) print(“Hello”,name)
input() Used to take input from a user, if you wish to
store this input you need to assign it to a variable
variableName = input(“Text to
display”)

obsolescence and apply the knowledge to other
products. Explain the reasons for your choice.
Section 2: Important Ideas
What are the 5 ways we
would judge the success
of new technologies
and products?
Cost
Reliability
Longevity
Sustainability
Recyclability
What type of
information should you
gather prior to
designing new
product?
Successes and shortfalls of similar
available products
Available technology
The size of the market
The market need
What is planned
obsolescence?
Planned obsolescence is when a product
is deliberately designed to have a specific
life span. This is usually a shortened life
span. The product is designed to last long
enough to develop a customer’s lasting
need. The product is also designed to
convince the customer that the product is
a quality product, even though it
eventually needs replacing. In this way,
when the product fails, the customer will
want to buy another, up to date version
What is disposability? Disposability is when a product is
designed for or capable of being thrown
away after being used or used up
What is meant by the
term designed for
maintenance?
Maintenance means any activity which
allows the product to have a longer life. It
can include anything from repairing worn
out parts to replacing batteries.
Designing a product to allow maintenance
may mean including features such as
access panels and standard screws. These
help to allow parts to be replaced.

process or facility.
Production The action of making or manufacturing
from components or raw materials, or
the process of being so manufactured.
Industry The people or companies engaged in a
particular kind of commercial enterprise.
Market pull The term 'Market Pull', refers to the
need/requirement for a new product or
a solution to a problem.
Technology push Technology Push is when research and

Fairtrade Fairtrade is about better prices, decent
working conditions and fair terms of
trade for farmers and workers in less
economically developed countries
Society The aggregate of people living together
in a more or less ordered community
Culture The ideas, customs, and social behaviour
of a particular people or society.
Ethics Moral principles that govern a person's
behaviour or the conducting of an
activity.
Planned obsolescence is sometimes designed into a product, in
order to encourage the customer to buy the next upgrade. A
good example of this is a mobile phone. Mobile phones are
often designed with only current technology in mind, despite
the manufacturers knowledge of future technological develop-
ments. For instance, a mobile phone may have USB / connec-
tions / jack plugs, that fit current products, such as head phones
and computers. This means that the phone is not future proof.
The manufacturer may already be working on updated phones,
that connect using different sizes of USB ports / connections.
Although the current phone can be upgraded with software,
eventually the ‘old’ USB / connections / jack plugs will make the
product obsolete. The customer will need a new phone, even
though there may be nothing wrong with his / her existing
phone. The old phone becomes obsolete
