American DanceWheels Foundation (ADF) is an artistic organization that trains those with disabilities, their able-bodied partners, ballroom dance teachers, adaptive therapists (特定疗法技师) in the art of Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dancing (WBLD ). In the dancing the male leads regardless whether he is standing or seated in a wheelchair. ADF focuses on social dancing and is not driven by competitions although they can progress                    to competitions if they choose. If you can move your wheelchair and take direction you can dance. Both who use either power or wheelchairs, full or part-time, are encouraged to participate.

ADF has now brought its WheelOne™ syllabus (教学大纲) into two distinct areas of education: public schools and universities.

Public Schools

WBLD can be used as a physical education course for students with disabilities. It removes the separation that many other activities create since it requires a mix of these students with able-bodied partners. It encourages integration (融合) of disabled students with others in the school and the community overall. Wheelchair dancing also helps to build respect among the partners.

Universities

ADF is proud to announce that it has developed the first approved course in WBLD in the United States. This program started in February, 2008 and is developing new seated and standing wheelchair dancers each term.

The WheelOne™ syllabus teaches a specialized skill that is perfect for future dance teachers as well as future therapists. Able-bodied students learn all four aspects of the dances (able-bodied male, male wheelchair dancer, able-bodied female and female wheelchair dancer). Students will get a much better understanding of what it is like to be in a wheelchair.

Students will learn adaptations required for working with a different group of dancers. This training can even lead to a full ADF Certification Course Program.

What’s on your food label (标签)?

Nowadays we all know it’s best to eat healthily, limiting our intake of fat, sugar and salt. We at Fineways Supermarkets have reduced the levels of these in 1000 products and are doing so for a further 950 this year. Besides, we have introduced a new labelling system to help you make informed choices as you purchase food, in order to suggest a healthy way of life.

When you buy food, you need to know exactly what you will be eating. We would rather the customer decides after reading the nutritional information on the packet. So our new food labels provide an at-a-glance breakdown of the nutritional value of each product.

Our easy-to-read labels explain simply what is in your food. They show you：

how much sugar, fat and salt are in each serving

how many calories one serving contains

the percentages of your guideline daily amounts (GDAs) for each of these.

What are Guldeline Daily Amounts？

GDAs are a guide to the total amount of calories, sugar, fat, salt and other elements we should eat in a day. According to experts, GDAs for a typical adult are：

Calories 2000keal

Sugar 90g

Fat 70g

Salt 6g

Please note that children and active adults have different nutritional requirements. For more information please visit www. foodlabels. com/health.

Numbers count

Here is an example of our new labelling：

Chicken salad sandwich pack

Calories 256keal 13%GDA

Sugar 3.1g 4%GDA

Fat 4.8g 7%GDA

Salt 1.1g 19%GDA

Knowing the information about each product you buy means that you can mix healthy foods with less healthy treats, while still keeping within the recommended daily amounts.

So be informed about your shopping with Fineways’ new health-conscious labels！
