...What are the unhealthy foods unhealthy foods are those that provide empty calories; they do not have enough fibre and cause damages on the body; such include fatty acids that cause cancer. Others weaken nutrients that are meant for the body such as soda pop drinks. CAUSES OF EATING UNHEALTHY FOODS Eating during Other Activities If you eat while watching TV, while working, while reading or even while cooking then you are also developing an unhealthy eating behavior. When you eat while doing other activities, you become unable to measure how much you eat. As a result, you tend to overeat without knowing it. Try to have a specific schedule for eating. In the house, have a designated place exclusively for eating. For instance, you can make sure that you only eat in the kitchen and not in the other parts of the house. Eating Late at Night Having an occasional late night snack is fine, but if you can't go to bed without having a plate of cookies or a slice of pie first, then you could be setting yourself up forweight gain. Eating too close to bedtime will also give you sleeping difficulty since your body will be busy digesting food. Skipping Breakfast Breakfast is believed to be the most important meal of the day, but many people still seem to make a habit out of skipping it. When you have to rush for work in the mornings or get your kids ready for school, it's easy to neglect breakfast. Doing so not only drains you of energy, but also makes it more likely that you will...

...Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through Universal Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given the means to slowly adjust to formal education. Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten have better completion rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based Kindergarten program are better prepared, for primary education. Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning and for the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0 to 6 years, are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70 percent of adult size..[Ref: K to 12 Toolkit] In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement) Examples, activities, songs, poems, stories, and illustrations are based on local culture, history, and reality. This makes the lessons relevant to the learners and easy to understand. Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects. Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the enhanced curriculum. Building Proficiency through Language (Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual...

...Kayla Pryce Professor Clark March 25, 2016 Newsletters I decided to analyze the Business of Fashion newsletter. I really enjoyed the components contained within the newsletter. I was able to see the magazine elements and blog similarities. A newsletter is a bulletin issued periodically to the members of a society, business, or organization. It is generally about one main topic that is of interest to its subscribers. General features of newsletters include news and upcoming events of the related organization, as well as contact information for general studies. Newsletters are the most mis-used marketing tool around. The Business of Fashion use of newsletters are very effective. The Business of Fashion newsletter use it to reveal worldwide clothing, spread the news of particular designers, and wardrobes. It is an essential daily resource for fashion creatives, executives and entrepreneurs in many countries. Newsletters such as “The Business of Fashion” are seen as an addiction. Some people wake up and the first thing they do is read. Some newsletters are a required read. The audience is anyone who would benefit from the information the newsletter contains. The Business of Fashion newsletter began as a project of passion, aiming to target the informed, questioning and opinionated point of view on the fashion business. This target audience can be rich businesses in the Fashion Industry, celebrities who participate in filling their closets with fancy worldwide accessories...

...Acknowledgments ix Acknowledgments This book owes a great deal to the mental energy of several generations of scholars. As an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, Francis Wilson made me aware of the importance of migrant labour and Robin Hallett inspired me, and a generation of students, to study the African past. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London I was fortunate enough to have David Birmingham as a thesis supervisor. I hope that some of his knowledge and understanding of Lusophone Africa has found its way into this book. I owe an equal debt to Shula Marks who, over the years, has provided me with criticism and inspiration. In the United States I learnt a great deal from ]eanne Penvenne, Marcia Wright and, especially, Leroy Vail. In Switzerland I benefitted from the friendship and assistance of Laurent Monier of the IUED in Geneva, Francois Iecquier of the University of Lausanne and Mariette Ouwerhand of the dépurtement évangélrlyue (the former Swiss Mission). In South Africa, Patricia Davison of the South African Museum introduced me to material culture and made me aware of the richness of difference; the late Monica Wilson taught me the fundamentals of anthropology and Andrew Spiegel and Robert Thornton struggled to keep me abreast of changes in the discipline; Sue Newton-King and Nigel Penn brought shafts of light from the eighteenthcentury to bear on early industrialism. Charles van Onselen laid a major part of the intellectual foundations on...
