Dr.Ashok Kumar Kavitha,Asso.Prof.,Dept. of ENT,Father Muller Medical College,Kankanady,Mangalore, 575002,Karnataka,(India)Ph:0824-2238182E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org
Identification of hearing loss proves vital at any age for health considerations. In school, hearing loss may interfere with learning and if undetected, it can cause poor school performance. This study was conducted to assess the hearing status of 339 preschool children attending 6 kindergarten schools in Mangalore. Each child underwent an otoscopic examination, followed by tuning fork tests and pure tone audiometry. Otoscopic findings were found to be significant in 217(64.01%) children. After the audiological examination, 37 (10.91%) children were found to have conductive hearing loss and none had sensorineural hearing loss. Out of the 31 children with middle ear disease, only 11 (35.48%) were detected to have hearing impairment. Prevalence of hearing impairment and otitis media was higher in rural school children than in urban schools.
Hearing assessment in children; Kindergarten children.
Hearing impairment accounts for 14% of total disabilities in India. The incidence of the same is around 3 per 1000 children in the country. In contrast to blindness which has received major attention from the national authorities for its prevention, deafness as yet, remains a major neglected issue, even when hearing function is equally vital for learning. In schools, hearing loss may interfere with learning and if undetected, can cause poor scholastic performance or academic failure. Further, children with hearing loss may exhibit negative behavior related to hearing loss; such as not paying attention, interrupting others, inappropriately responding to oral directions or not responding at all. Yet, a major problem exists in the lack of timely identification of many children with hearing impairments. These inadequacies appear to be due to a lack of awareness on the part of healthcare providers, as to the potential hearing losses, ignorance concerning the ability to diagnose and a lack of awareness about the potential of effective treatment (1).
Hearing assessment in the 0-5 year childrenâ€™s age group is difficult, but is not impossible. Technical advances in the past 15 years have made reliable hearing tests possible even in very young children (2). The pure availability of sophisticated screening methods is insufficient if they are not included in a universal screening program (3). Schools in developed countries provide screening to identify children with significant hearing loss. Such hearing loss, when identified, can be corrected. However, such a system does not exist in India.
This study therefore, aims at
1) Assessing the degree of hearing in kindergarten children and finding the occurrence of hearing loss in these children.
2) Finding out the type of hearing loss (conductive/sensorineural/mixed).
3) Assessing the aetiology of hearing loss (treatable/untreatable).
The secondary objective of this study was to analyze its effect on the academic performance of the child.
This descriptive study was conducted in the months of July and August 2007. Six schools among all the schools in Mangalore, having kindergarten, were selected using the cluster sampling technique. Three schools were from the rural region and three were from urban region.
The consent from the hospital ethical committee was obtained. The principals of the schools were approached one week in advance and consent for conducting the study in the school was obtained. Parent consent forms in English and Kannada (native language) languages were handed out to the parents, one week in advance. Parents were requested to bring the filled in consent forms on the day of conduction of the study.
The study was conducted in the school premises itself. All children whose parents gave consent were included. A total of three hundred and thirty-nine children were included in the study.
Each child underwent the following modalities of hearing assessment.
1) Otoscopic examination.
2) Tuning fork tests.
3) Diagnostic pure tone audiometry .
4) Tympanometry (if required).
Otoscopic examination was done to detect any ear pathology. Hearing was tested using a 512Hz tuning fork, followed by pure tone audiometry by a trained audiologist in a sound proof room. Hearing at frequencies 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz and 4000Hz, were tested in the child. For each ear, the pure tone average was recorded in decibels. Hearing was graded according to the American Speech and Hearing Classification as mild(loss in 25-40dB range), moderate(loss in 41-55dB range), moderately severe(loss 56-70dB range), severe(loss of 71-90dB range) and profound ( loss of >90dB).
To analyse the academic performance of the child, child-parent questionnaires (Vineland maturity scale) relating to the childâ€™s academic performance, social skills and behaviour were sent to the parent. The parents were requested to bring the same and to meet the child psychologist during follow up.
The data was analysed by the SPSS statistical Package 11.5. For comparing outcomes, the Chi-Square test was used. A p value of <0.05 was taken as significant.
The study was conducted on a total of 339 children whose parents gave consent for their child to be enrolled in the study. Of the 339 children, 23% (n=77) were from rural schools and 77% (n=262) were from urban schools. The prevalence of hearing impairment and otitis media was higher in rural school children than in urban schools. While 16.9% (13 out of 77) of the children in rural schools had hearing impairment, only 9.2% (24 out of 262) of the urban school children had hearing impairment. Similarly, 14.29% (11 out of 77) of the rural school children were found to have middle ear disease, while only 7.63% (20 out of 262) of the urban school children were found to have the same. The prevalence of chronic suppurative otitis media was found in 9.09% (7 out of 77) of the rural school children and in 0.76% (2 out of 262) of the urban school children. Of the total 339 children that were studied, 37.2% (n=126) were males, while 62.8% (n=213 ) children were females. 14.2% (n=48) of the children were 3 years old, 50.1% (n=170) were 4 years old, 34.8% (n=118) were 5 years old and 0.9% (n= 3) were 6 years old.
No significant correlation could be drawn between the age or sex of the children and their hearing function. Of the 339 children, 64.01% (n=217) had significant otoscopic findings.The otoscopic findings have been detailed in (Table/Fig 1).
On testing by tuning forks, Rinneâ€™s test (Table/Fig 2) was found to be negative in the right ear in 8% (n=27) children, whereas it was negative on the left side in 71 % (n=24) children.
Findings of Weber's test and Absolute Bone Conduction Test have been depicted in (Table/Fig 3) and (Table/Fig 4) respectively.
By tuning fork tests, only 27 children were suspected to have conductive deafness and 4 were suspected to have sensorineural deafness. However, on audiological examination, only six children of those suspected by tuning fork tests had conductive deafness and none of the children had sensorineural deafness (Table/Fig 5). Hence, tuning fork tests are not reliable in children of this age group.
Audiometry results revealed that 37 children (10.91%) had some form of conductive hearing loss. Of these, 11 children (29.73%) had otitis media and the remaining 26 (70.27%) had cerumen impaction. Hence, cerumen impaction was also concluded to cause considerable hearing loss. Only 11 children (35.48%) with middle ear disease were detected to have hearing impairment.
For the assessment of the social maturity quotient of the child and the treatment of the diagnosed pathology in the child, parents were requested to come for follow up through the hospital out patient facility. Three twenty four (95.5%) of the 339 children did not come for follow up after the screening (Table/Fig 6). As a result of poor follow up, the secondary objective of finding the relationship between the childâ€™s hearing and his /her social quotient was not met.
The present study was a descriptive one to bring out the prevalence of hearing impairment among the (3-6 years) Kindergarten attending children. A low prevalence of chronic suppurative otitis media was noticed among urban children, probably due to better medical services which facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media. Similar observations were made by Minja BM and Machemba A in 1998 (4). The same study when conducted in school children in Tanzania, ear disease was found in 27 .7% of the children, 15.7% had cerumen impaction, 2.6% had chronic suppurative otitis media and 8.7% had sensorineural hearing loss (4). These are similar to the findings of the present study.
Jacob et al reported otological abnormalities (excluding wax) in 21.5% of 284 children from rural primary schools, whose ages ranged from 6-10 years. Otitis media was diagnosed in 17.6% of the children (5). In the present study, only 9.15% were diagnosed with middle ear disease, which could be attributed to the sample being drawn from both the urban as well as rural populations.
They further reported hearing impairment in 34 (11.9%) of the 284 children. Conductive hearing impairment (10.9%) was predominant. While 91.2% of the children with hearing impairment had associated middle ear disease; only 53.4% of those with middle ear disease were detected as having hearing impairment, which is comparable with the results of this study (5).
In an evaluation study by Weichbold V et al, on conducting a screening for hearing at nursery schools, they found that in most cases, as seen in the present study, a temporary conductive hearing loss due to external or middle ear problems was diagnosed, which is a treatable entity (6).
Poor patient follow up in the present study was disappointing. This was seen despite motivation by the researchers and availability of free services. Similar observations were made by Weichbold V et al (2004) (6) and Flanary V A et al (1999) (7). This throws light on the lack of awareness and attitude of the present day society on the harmful effects of hearing impairment in children. Caretakers donâ€™t take hearing impairment seriously till it is severe. Most of the middle ear diseases cause mild to moderate problems in hearing. This attitude is different for diseases related to vision. Blindness related studies tend to have much better follow up rates. This calls for the need of not only a nationwide screening program, but also the need for education of the general public on the prevalence of hearing impairment and the effects of hearing impairment on their childâ€™s development and performance.
1) In this study, the prevalence of undetected hearing impairment among the kindergarten children of Mangalore was brought to light. Mass screening of hearing status in the school system is useful for detecting transient conductive hearing losses
2) Parental awareness of hearing impairment in their children is very poor.
3) Tuning fork tests are not reliable in very young (pre school) children.
4) There is a higher prevalence of hearing impairment in rural school children as compared to that in children studying in urban schools
5) Prevalence of chronic suppurative otitis media among rural school children is more than in urban school children. This emphasizes the need to improve the health services in rural areas.
6) There is poor follow up among the families of those students detected with hearing loss in the screening program.
In light of this research and other similar studies, it is evident that a nation wide screening program for hearing impairment in school children is a necessity.
Schools in developed countries provide screening to identify children with significant hearing loss. Such hearing loss, when identified, can be corrected. However, such a system does not exist in India. The early detection of hearing loss in children plays a major role in health care system.

1 lot auctioned
Seller here: My auction manager just tickled me with this thread’s existence. I’m complete newbie to this site. Listed vehicle on this site at suggestion of a friend. This is only Porsche I’ve ever owned and selling since I just don’t have time to drive it as much as I’d like due to my work out of state. I’m not a Porsche expert, as clearly some of you commenting are. To try to comment on all posted so far:
-O-ring dash: no clue. Dash instrumentation same as when I purchased.
– PPI: sure thing if needed, as long as I’m not paying. I’ve driven regularly, just not super often. Still a blast to drive.
– Cold start: I didn’t even know this was a thing. When I cold start, it smokes a bit, but clears quickly.
– Targa top: I was going to replace the worn-out one when I purchased with another folding cover, but was priced at almost $10K and so I opted to search aftermarket options. Couldn’t find aftermarket folding top option, so went with fiberglass non-folding. This was mounted to the original targa top skeleton. Fits like glove and no water leaking. Master Porsche mechanic, Bobby Stikeleather, who handled the massive Porsche collection (with vehicles sold to Jay Leno, etc….) did much of major repair work including the top. I can get extra photos of this top posted.
– Photo of engine welds: I didn’t know this is a thing and don’t even know where to photograph, but if needed, can try to get for interested persons with a little guidance.
-Undercarriage photos: I don’t have a lift, but I have peered under vehicle and I see no rust and the under side is solid metal.
– Decal photo underside of hood: I didn’t know this was a thing. I can get for interested persons.
– Rust: I’m not aware of any.
– Paint job: Original paint job as far as I’m aware. Had it detailed, and detailer commented that paint hood paint getting a bit thin, and at close look I can see this.
– brake pads: It shouldn’t need pads. All changed at 94K. person who commented on perhaps gauges needing cleaning or sensor(s) needing replacing is perhaps correct. Dash light on/off, but no driving perception of brake excessive wear, and I do put it through it’s paces when I can drive it.
– Person commenting on painter’s tape: that just seems mean.
Look, I’ve tried to take good care of this vehicle and have been it’s good steward. It’s not perfect, but in damned good shape as far as I can tell. Any of you are welcome to email me if needed via this BaT site. Thanks!

My right hon. Friend is obviously right to recall Holocaust Memorial Day, which we will mark on
Our focus is clearly on trying to assist the children who are most in need and the refugees who are most in need. That is why we have taken the approach of providing aid assistance and of having the vulnerable persons relocation scheme. The resettlement scheme is aimed at the issues of vulnerability, part of which is about children and about orphans, and it is very much focused on those who have suffered most.

Neovasc Inc (NASDAQ:NVCN) reported that the company has failed to meet the minimum market value guideline required for continued listing on the NASDAQ platform. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) mandates firms to maintain a minimum market worth of US $35 million for sustained listing on NASDAQ platform. A failure to attain the market value requirement remains if the deficiency continues for 30 successive business days. NVCN failed to meet that requirement from February 6, 2018 to March 21, 2018.
Neovasc now has the grace period between now and September 18, 2018 during which it will monitor the market value. During this period, the business operations will continue to progress normal, and shares will also continue to trade in the NASDAQ platform. This notification in any way has no impact on the firm’s listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
This year has not been great for Neovasc stock. So far, the stock has recorded decline of more than 81% in a matter of less than three months. On Friday, the stock posted drop of 3% to close the day at $0.1101. The company is all set to post its financial report for the year closed December 31, 2017 on March 28, 2018, which will further define the direction of company’s stock.
Earlier in the month of January, Neovasc reported that its board of directors has appointed Fred A. Colen as Chief Executive Officer and President of the company. This change was implemented effective immediately. The change in leadership comes a major step under firm’s plan to boost commercialization of its Reducer™ product in Europe and the development of its Tiara™ program. Alexei Marko, the ex-CEO, continues to be a Director on the company’s Board of Directors. Also, he remains to serve as an advisor to the firm. Neovasc comes in the list of leading specialty medical device firms that develops, markets and manufactures products for the fast growing cardiovascular marketplace.

Marksburg Castle (Germany)
Rhineland-Palatinate See list of castles in Germania
The Marksburg castle perched on a cliff, seemingly impenetrable to enemy forces. And this castle has resisted more than others. It holds the enviable title of 'unique medieval castle in the Middle Rhine that was never destroyed.
The Eppstein family is that we have to thank for this wonderful example of medieval architecture. The Marksburg Castle is a miracle in itself. For over 700 years, it has been untouched by the ravages of time and the destruction of the war. Even with two world wars, the Marksburg was happily spared so that present and future generations to appreciate its splendor.
The steep, almost inaccessible cliff where the castle is located has certainly helped to survive these centuries of blood. The original purpose of Marksburg was to protect the citizens and the city of Braubach.
By 1283, the castle was passed from the hands Epsteins the Katzenelnbogen family. The counts Katzenelnbogen tinkered with the design of the castle endlessly through the ages 14 and 15. They are primarily responsible for its Gothic appearance. By 1479, the line was finished and Marksburg Katzenelnbogen was once again in the hands of new owners. This time, it was the Count of Hesse.
The 19th century was one of the most tumultuous, when the palace was used as a state prison at the time of Napoleon. Ultimately, it was sold to the German Castle Association for 1,000 marks, and this group has worked to preserve the castle.

The Platonic Theology is a visionary work and the philosophical masterpiece of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), the Florentine scholar-philosopher-magus who was largely responsible for the Renaissance revival of Plato.
A student of the Neoplatonic schools of Plotinus and Proclus, he was committed to reconciling Platonism with Christianity, in the hope that such a reconciliation would initiate a spiritual revival and return of the golden age. His Platonic evangelizing was eminently successful and widely influential, and his Platonic Theology, translated into English for the first time in this edition, is one of the keys to understanding the art, thought, culture, and spirituality of the Renaissance.

An aristocratic devotion to our culture continues to manifest itself even today in the most prestigious centers of study and thought. One has merely to look at the very recent (begun in 2001), rigorous and elegant humanistic series of Harvard University, with the original Latin text, English translation, introduction and notes. - Vittore Branca, Il Sole 24 Ore
The editing and translation of Ficino's text has been done superbly well. Allen and Hankins have begun a work of scholarship of the highest calibre, whose continuation is eagerly awaited. - British Journal for the History of Philosophy
The Loeb Classical Library...has been of incalculable benefit to generations of scholars...It seems certain that the I Tatti Renaissance Library will serve a similar purpose for Renaissance Latin texts, and that, in addition to its obvious academic value, it will facilitate a broadening base of participation in Renaissance Studies...These books are to be lauded not only for their principles of inclusivity and accessibility, and for their rigorous scholarship, but also for their look and feel. Everything about them is attractive: the blue of their dust jackets and cloth covers, the restrained and elegant design, the clarity of the typesetting, the quality of the paper, and not least the sensible price. This is a new set of texts well worth collecting. - Kate Lowe, Times Literary Supplement
Ficino set out to show that the ancient Neoplatonic philosophy embodied a "gentile theological tradition," one that complemented the Mosaic revelation to the Jews and prepared its devotees for the final truths of Christianity. Ficino worked in full knowledge of the internal complications of Neoplatonism. He wrote and argued in styles that ranged from the logical and synthetic to the poetic and evocative, as he struggled to find ways to prove that the universe was orderly and governed by a Creator and to lay out the place within it of the immortal human soul. - Anthony T. Grafton, New York Review of Books

Over the past 20 months, we’ve seen VPW newcomer Kai Katana inside a steel cage against VsK, claim the New York State Championship, and three seconds away from claiming the Gold Rush Rumble.
What we didn’t see, until Fans Choice V in Deer Park, was The Zombie. And he returned to the cheers of the fans and the concern of the Asian assassin.
The Zombie cleaned house after Katana’s match against Super Pogo! and Razzle Dazzle, but not before Katana was able to get a few shots in of his own.
With the former New York State champion at the entrance to the locker room, The Zombie declared, “ZOMBIE.. KAI KATANA.. MATCH..”
The former ECW superstar Zombie will face Kai Katana in a match that can only be labeled as unpredictable when Victory Pro Wrestling returns to Centereach for Upper Limits 2014.

Founded in 1980 as an annual international meeting of independent theatre groups, the Zürcher Theater Spektakel quickly evolved into a cultural event of international appeal. Today it ranks among the most important European festivals for the contemporary performing arts. This success story has been based on consistent and artistically outstanding programming, a unique atmosphere, the large number of engaged and open-minded spectators. For over 30 years these ingredients have made the Theater Spektakel a popular venue for both renowned and upcoming theatre and dance companies from all over the world.
The festival is spread over 18 days in late August at the «Landiwiese». This superb, park-like site, located directly on the shores of Lake Zurich, hosts various different sized venues. These include a covered lakeside open-air stage and a shipyard offering undreamt-of spatial possibilities. Onsite restaurants and bars, performances under the open sky and various ad hoc events, together with the appealing programme, attract cultural aficionados and night owls from far beyond the borders of Zurich. It is an annual event that is ablaze with life as we celebrate the last days of summer and the open-air season.

Austit's Streetcar 8ra
A. T. JACKSON
ON JANUARY 6, 1875, after four years of planning, the
Austin City Railroad Company dispatched the first
mule-drawn streetcar on an inspection tour of its newly
completed transportation system. The moving spirit of the enter-
prise had been Colonel John M. Swisher, soldier, banker, and
early Texas settler, who came to Austin in January, 1868, to organ-
ize the undertaking. Uncertainty characterized the initial develop-
ment of the company; meetings of the organizers were irregular,
interspersed with extended periods of inactivity. At one meeting,
which epitomized the venture, the capital stock was set at $50,000,
with the authority to increase it to $500,000. Finally, however, on
September 7, 1874, the city council granted a franchise authorizing
the company to build and maintain a horse or mule railroad,
with permission to use any streets within the city, and work on
the project was begun.
The beginning of transportation service in 1875 took place
under even more inauspicious circumstances than those that had
marked the period of organization. At the corner of Eleventh
Street and Congress Avenue, just south of the entrance to the
Capitol, misfortune overtook the inaugural tour of inspection.
As the mule hitched to the small streetcar jogged around the
corner, the car left the tracks and turned over. No one sustained
injuries but the dignity of several company officials who had been
passengers was badly bruised. Eight days after the accident, on
January 14, a second inspection was made of the road to decide
whether to accept it from the contractor. Before the streetcar
completed its circuit the experience of the initial tour was repeated.
four times, and each time the derailment occurred on a curve.
Complaints were made and the difficulties quickly remedied.
The first paying passengers were hauled on January 15, 1875.
The returns were small as measured by the standards of today.
It must be recalled, however, that the population of Austin then
was only 7,500, and that the operating costs also were small.
A local newspaper, early in 1875, contained this news:

Online casinos are highlighted with different offices, which pull in players to remain associated. It is basic to adhere to the casino rules set so as to play at some site casinos. Yet, most online casinos are not highlighted with the same number of guidelines and rules as the continuous land based casinos. Likewise, it is a great idea to have the option to effectively spring up the brew bottle, sit at PC and light up the cigarette and not stress over the floor casino chief criticizing the player.
Online casinos give unwinding in an extraordinary domain too. As opposed to playing at boisterous casino where you can be diverted, the virtual casinos offer the players a choice to play in whichever climate they pick. Simply envision yourself in jam-packed casino with those suggestive eyes from the contenders gazing at you and attempting to compromise each move.

Most famous free casino destinations additionally give numerous language emotionally supportive networks. In this way, the players without the information on English language can in any case make the most of their preferred games with no trouble of the correspondence or language.

Juan Mata wants Manchester United to show unity as they look to bounce back from their lacklustre defeat at Huddersfield.
United's first Premier League defeat of the season, a leaden-footed 2-1 reverse, saw manager Jose Mourinho tear into his side's "poor attitude" and lack of desire.
But Mata, who was hooked at half-time at the John Smith's Stadium, has called for the team to pull together and return to the methods which saw them secure 10 wins and two draws from their previous 12 matches.
In his blog on the club’s official website, the Spaniard wrote: “We knew this moment would arrive sooner or later, although that’s something you never wish for, of course.
“Now, it’s time to learn from mistakes and keep going, as we always do, showing that the team sticks together when things don’t go so well, which is when we need it most.
“Since the European Super Cup defeat last summer, we’ve been performing really well against all kind of opponents. On Saturday, though, Huddersfield played their cards better than us and took all three points. All we can do now is congratulate them and move on. This is a not a sprint, but a marathon and there is still a long way to go.
"Let's not forget that, before that game, we had got a good win in Lisbon. We beat a very good side in Benfica, a team with plenty of Champions League experience."
United have an early opportunity to wipe the slate clean, as they continue their defence of the Carabao Cup with Tuesday's last-16 trip to Swansea.
From there it is back to Old Trafford for the visit of Tottenham, who thrashed Liverpool at the weekend to go level with United on 20 points.
By Saturday evening it should become clear whether Mata’s optimism is shared in the dressing room.
“It’s going to be a tough game,” wrote Mata of the Swansea tie.
“But, we are the reigning champions and we will try our best to win and keep moving forward. There’s another big game next weekend, this time against Tottenham.
“They’re one of the most difficult teams to beat in the top-flight, and it’s a key game for us to show all the virtues we have been talking about over the last two months.”
Phil Jones limped off against the Terriers at 0-0 and will not feature at the Liberty Stadium, though there is a decision to make over his replacement, Victor Lindelof.
The Swede turned in a sloppy performance and was directly responsible for what proved to the winning goal. Eric Bailly's continued absence could mean he gets the chance to redeem himself but Mourinho may also be keen to see 19-year-old Axel Tuanzebe in action.
Scott McTominay, Luke Shaw, Matteo Darmian and Sergio Romero are others eyeing places in the event of changes.
Roque Mesa will start for Swansea. Mesa has started only three times since his £11 million (€12.3 million) summer move from Las Palmas, but Swansea head coach Paul Clement confirmed that the midfielder will line up against United.
Renato Sanches (thigh) is unavailable after joining Wilfried Bony (hamstring) and Kyle Bartley on the casualty list, while goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is set to be rested.

In what he has said will be his last campaign, longtime incumbent Fred Richardson (pictured above) is set to face political newcomers Tim Hollis and Cory Penn in the District 1 Mobile City Council race.
After more than 20 years on the council, Richardson said he wants to serve one last term and then spend the rest of his time writing, while he still can.
“I am 77,” he said. “I’ll be in my 80s and I can’t chance not having control of all my facilities to do what I want to do. I can’t say that after four more years I won’t start slipping and won’t be able to do what I want to do.”
Richardson said he wants more time to oversee capital improvement program funding in the district. The councilman takes credit for sponsoring the ordinance extending the sales tax increase for three years, funding the program. Through capital improvements, he said, the city is able to repave streets and perform other infrastructure work that has been neglected.Penn, a behavior trainer for the Mobile County Public School System, said he supports CIP funding, but still believes more can be done to improve parks and recreation in the district.
“We need more funding because that’s where people go to enjoy their family, their friends … they make you feel safe,” Penn said. “I believe we need to have more funding in the area.”
In the Beau Terra neighborhood where he lives with his wife and daughter, Penn said children play in the middle of the street because there’s no common space.
Richardson defended his own efforts by mentioning Figures Park, which he called the most “diversified park in the city” because visitors can swim, play basketball, play baseball, play tennis and run on a track. Richardson said he’s made improvements to many parks in the district, including Trinity Gardens Park, which recently benefitted from a new playground.Hollis, a U.S. Air Force veteran, said he also believes the city could do a better job funding parks and youth activities.
“We should have playgrounds that present some form of destiny, some symbols of hope,” Hollis said. “[There should be] a place where a kid can go and have more than just one swing to swing on, a place where a kid can go and be creative just as I did when I grew up.”
Hollis said he’d like to see more playground equipment in District 1 parks, including jungle gyms and merry-go-rounds.
While Richardson touted Henry Aaron Park as the only facility specifically for children 12 and under, Hollis said he didn’t agree with segregating the parks by age.
Regarding jobs and economic development, Richardson touted helping to secure the recruitment of Publix in midtown, while his opponents want to aim higher.
Richardson took credit for negotiating with the school system on a price for the former Augusta Evans property near the corner of Old Shell Road and Florida Street, where the store is currently under construction. Richardson said the store will bring $1.5 million in tax revenue per year into the city and create 235 new jobs.
While he said jobs are important, Hollis wants to focus on luring higher paying jobs to District 1, while also partnering with small businesses to help beautify blighted areas. Overall, Hollis said he gives the city a C plus in economic development efforts.
“… It’s good to have jobs for the entire city, it’s good to have jobs that will help the entire county, but we need to focus on those high-paying jobs within the districts that will go to community residents,” Hollis said. “That way they’re making money in their neighborhoods, they’re traveling in their neighborhoods to their jobs and the money’s rotating within the community. District 1 has a lot of undeveloped land and there’s no excuse why we couldn’t move companies in to take interest in some of these undeveloped properties.”
Penn said that while he believes the city is doing a good job in economic development, he’d like to see more of a focus on the people. He said he wants to expand job training efforts in the district.
“I can bring a company in, but is it benefiting the people of a district?” He asked. “Are they being hired for those positions?”
Richardson said he tries to include employment and job training information in all of his regular community meetings. Unfortunately, he said, turnout for younger individuals targeted by those jobs is not always what he’d like.
In the area of crime and the community’s relationship with the Mobile Police Department, Richardson said he believes there’s not enough community involvement in the city’s policing effort, despite millions of dollars in grant money devoted to it each year.
“There’s no input,” he said. “You’re not going to stop nothing until you get down to the cause. I’d take the community-oriented policing, or COP money, and get some professionals in here and find out what the cause is.”
Hollis said he supports community policing, where officers walk beats on foot to get to know individuals in the community. He said he’s glad the city has begun the program, which will start to ease the mistrust residents feel toward police officers.
“I do believe it will help, but I know it will not be an easy process,” Hollis said. “We have to understand we’re dealing with a systemic situation; something that has been in the mindsets and DNA of these citizens for a long time, most of their lives.”
Penn would also like to see the relationship between the citizens and police improve. One proposal is a program called PACT, or Police and Citizens Together.
“By creating this program, we have to build mutual respect between the police officers and the citizens,” Penn suggested. “We have to build relationships and I believe through this program that would help decrease the crime.”

In suspending his bid for the White House on Monday, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham acknowledged two stark realities: attacking billionaire businessman Donald Trump doesn't work and the establishment lane is still too full.That may be the sane reaction, but it's not what's happening, as Wochit shows in GOP Candidates Vie For Lindsey Graham Supporters.
"We're going to have to start consolidating as Republicans," he said in an exclusive interview with CNN's Kate Bolduan on his decision to leave the 2016 GOP presidential nominating race.
Graham's parting plea echoes what prominent Republicans and conservatives have been saying for months as Trump's dominance and that of other outsiders have left the GOP establishment rattled and split among several candidates.
Conservative Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin put it bluntly in a column: "Lindsey Graham is out, others should follow."
Lindsey Graham's withdrawal from the race for Republican presidential nominee is only hours old, but his former rivals are already jockeying to pick up the support of the South Carolina senator. Graham's endorsement is strategically important due to the early timing of the South Carolina primary, the first in the Republican-dominated South. Graham, who told CNN on Monday that he has "no intention of endorsing anyone right now," has already seen the various campaigns lining up to heap praise upon him: from Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, to Jeb Bush, all now seeking the backing of Graham and his supporters.Graham's supporters may be useful in South Carolina for endorsements and money, but as far as making a difference in actual voters, I'll let this graphic from P.M. Carpenter show how much that will really mean.
Good luck going after that one percent, Establishment candidates. They might get one of you into third place.
As for the rest of us, drink a South Carolina Swizzle for Lindsey: South Carolina Swizzle Cocktail - The Proper Pour with Charlotte Voisey - Small Screen.
Inspired by the delicious produce of South Carolina and Georgia, Charlotte created the South Carolina Swizzle Cocktail to celebrate one of her favorite regions of the United States. Served in a julep style, this refreshing libation is perfect as a summer sipper.
Remember, great cocktails start with measuring responsibly.

Bank subsidiarisation is a good thing but probably won’t help if the Greeks default
When my father was Lord Mayor, the Mansion House Speech was press released after the event.
Nineteen years on, no Chancellor can resist the temptation to preannounce his speech and press release it nearly a day before, despite the disrespect to the City audience. I doubt if the clock will turn back, even if good manners suggests it should.
So today the Chancellor has leaked that he will announce the subsidiarisation of UK retail banks’ investment banking arms in his speech tonight.
On balance I think this is a good idea and will reduce risk in the economy.
But there are no free lunches in banking regulation and we need to appreciate that the benefits of reduced risk of default in the longer term have to be set against the likelihood of slower growth of bank lending.
The less exciting retail banks will find it more difficult to raise capital and hence will be less able to lend than they might have been. And some might even move abroad, which will partly achieve the Chancellor’s objective of handing the costs of potential bailouts to someone else but at the cost of loss of control over the UK economy.
Slower growth in bank lending will mean slower economic growth.
Another issue is that the biggest short term threat to the solvency of British banks could come from the breakup of the euro. And it is not clear that the subsidiarisation will do anything to help here.
But taking the costs with the benefits, what the Chancellor proposes will probably be a worthwhile derisking of the economy. Just don’t expect it to be a panacea and don’t expect it to be cost-free.

Class Format. Most classes will consist of a lecture, with some give and take as questions come up. Do not hesitate to bring up questions and comments at any moment. It is assumed that you will complete the assigned reading for each week. It is also assumed that you will attend all classes, although I will take roll only on discussion days.
Class Participation. There will be four class periods devoted to discussion. In three of these we will discuss a group of readings from The Essential Readings. In one we will critique a popular portrayal of the crusades. Your class participation grade will consist of my evaluation of your preparedness and the level of your participation in these discussions Obviously, if you are absent on a discussion day you will be unable to participate very effectively. If an absence is accompanied by an official excuse I will assign an alternate writing assignment.
Exams. Standard, garden variety history exams with a group of identification questions and a choice of essays. The final exam will include one comprehensive essay. No makeup exams will be given without official excuse.
Term Paper. The largest chunk of your grade, and the reason that the other reading for this course is light, is your term paper. You may choose almost any topic in crusading history but you must first clear the topic with me. Stop by my office during regular office hours, speak to me after class, or make an appointment to talk about your topic. But first explore your possible topic a bit. The Supplemental Reading list is a good place to start, or check out the Dictionary of the Middle Ages, which is in the reference room of the library. The final paper must be typed, double spaced, font size no larger than 12 point, 1 inch margins all around, and no less than ten and no more than twenty pages. Footnoting must be done in a published standard style and the paper should have a bibliography. You should make use of at least one primary source (something a medieval person wrote). Your term paper is due on December 9. Papers will be graded on substance as well as style. Late papers will have one letter grade deducted for each day late. I am very willing to read and comment on paper drafts turned in at least two weeks prior to the due date.
Academic Honesty. Please see the Student Handbook for a definition of plagiarism and all sorts of dire warnings about what will happen to you if you engage in it. Don’t! What with the Internet it is pretty easy nowadays to detect plagiarized papers and discover their source.
Office Hours. My office hours are MWF 8:00-8:50 am. If that isn’t convenient we can work something else out. My office hours are for you. Get your money’s worth! If you have any questions, complaints, or just want to chat, please stop by.
Graduate Students. See the supplemental graduate student syllabus for additional course requirements

After a friend of my brother’s from his AmeriCorps days showed him a video of this band playing “I Want You Back” on a sidewalk in Boston, my brother turned around and passed it on to me, and thus began my obsession with Lake Street Dive.
LSD has been around for awhile (2003-ish?), and there’s something wonderful about discovering a contemporary band that hasn’t “blown up” yet, is excellent, and has a good amount of work in the bank already. I’ve been proselytizing for Lake Street Dive for about a year now, and I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like them. Part of that has to do with their pop/jazz combination – they’re literally perfect background music.
But another, larger part of that has to do with the fact that they’re just incredibly good. Rachael Price has a voice like a bourbon-infused angel, the music is fun-first while maintaining enough jazz elements to make it surprising at times, and most importantly, these guys have fun. It’s eminently clear that these four individuals just have a blast playing music, and that’s a huge plus in my book.
Here are some of my favorite Lake Street Dive videos. Their albums – In This Episode…, Promises, Promises, Lake Street Dive, Fun Machine, and the upcoming Bad Self Portraits are well worth your time. The upcoming one – out in February – is going to be the first album I’ve physically bought in about a decade, and I’m looking forward to it the way I look forward to a new book in a beloved series.
A collection of awesome Lake Street Dive videos
If you’ve heard of them at all, it’s probably from this video:
Right away, you get a sense of irreverent, whimsical enjoyment with the various takes of the four of them posing. And when the music starts, Price’s voice is on full display. It’s amazing how lush the song sounds when you think about how sparse it actually is – voice, drums, trumpet, bass. No guitar, no piano – nothing to give it a noise foundation. But the reconstitution of a beloved pop song, the jazz sensibilities, the fact that it’s on a sidewalk, and Price’s vocal stylings all combine to make this an amazing, jaw-dropping video.
Here’s one to get a sense of how amazing they’d be to see live. The energy is just palpable. Mike Calabrese’s drumming leads the way, really driving the song. Mike “McDuck” Olson really shows off his trumpet chops as well, as his solo really stands out and compliments Price’s voice here.
Breaking away from their admittedly spectacular covers of pop songs, here’s an original. Bass player Bridget Kearney wrote this one, from what I can tell, and it’s extremely solid. The buildup and slight dive before the chorus is just awe-inspiring. Calabrese gets a verse (while still drumming, ‘natch) and his harmony with Price is really fun to listen to. Olson’s switch from trumpet to guitar (he seems to be doing this more often, from what I can tell) gives the song a bluesy, upscale dive bar-type feeling.
Here’s LSD covering Fleetwood Mac’s “Second Hand News” – made all the more awesome for the impromptu nature of the recording. It’s obvious a rough cut – Calabrese plays percussion on a chair, they’re not mic’ed, so you’re hearing just what the camera picks up, so the levels are off, they have some hilarious synchronized moves they do during the song that they’ve obviously only practiced a couple times, Price starts laughing halfway through a verse…etc. I know it sounds like I’m being negative, but these are all positive. It comes off as incredibly heartwarming and endearing. The fact that they can do something like this off-the-cuff is just flippin’ amazing.
Every Halloween they dress up as 2 girl, 2 guy bands. (Previous video – Fleetwood Mac). This year, they did the Starland Vocal Band. Yep. Let me just point out a few things about this video:
– Maybe it’s just the lighting, but at 0:21, when she turns sideways, Bridget Kearney looks like the goddamn Platonic ideal of beauty.
– The look Price gives Calabrese at 0:30 when he’s starting his verse is incredibly adorable.
– 1:47 WHAT A FIDDLE OH MY GOD THAT’S AMAZING, ALWAYS DO THAT
– The harmonies at 2:00 are just. wonderful. Especially Price’s harmony on the line “come around.”
– OK, this is wierdly specific, I know, but since this is the most low-impact blog ever and basically only my 10 friends read it, I’m going for it. 2:56, I cannot shake the notion that Bridget Kearney’s expression + what she does with her hand, just that little subtle gesture, is eerily reminiscent of my friend Carolina. Someone back me up here. It’s not so much the physical similarity (although I think they do look something alike) as it is her expression and what she’s emoting.
Couple more. Here’s one from Pickathon 2012. This one’s an original. The thing I like about this is just the pure physicality of Price. She sings with movement. Check out 3:32; that’s just so cool. Really, really makes me want to see them live.
I can’t figure out how to embed this, so whatever, just click the link. This one’s hard to find, but amazing in a down-tempo, melancholy way. The lyrics really get me on this one.
Last but not least, here’s a teaser from Lake Street Dive’s upcoming album. Yep. Yep yep yep. Rachael Price has pipes.

Work Package Leader - Jean Charles Hourcade, CIRED
Work on energy, primary resources and environmental challenges must help to clarify another three major issues over the coming decades: a) the progressive exhaustion of cheap world oil and gas resources and their concentration on a limited number of countries; b) the mitigation of climate change; c) the rise of concerns about the environmental safety of large scale alternatives to fossil fuels (nuclear, biofuels).
The responses to these intertwined issues depend critically upon the articulation between the negotiation of formal regulatory regimes (Kyoto framework, WTO) and the policies conducted at the regional and national levels. What makes numerical foresight necessary to disentangle the many facets of these issues is that the energy/environment interface depends, beyond the energy sector, upon a) dynamics in sectors such as transportation, urban infrastructures, agriculture and land-use, energy-intensive industry; b) the global dynamics of the world economy, including industrial competition, trade flows and capital markets, with, at this latter stage, a critical role of the magnitude and sharing of the oil rents. This world package builds on the capacity of the Imaclim model to couple explicit description of the technological dynamics in energy, transport, agriculture and industry with a general equilibrium framework of the world economy allowing for possible transitory disequilibrium due to the inertia of technical systems, imperfect foresight and market (and regulatory) failures. In parallel with the modelling exercises developed in WP1 it will provide an ensemble of scenarios to better understand under which conditions, i.e. technical assumptions and prospects about the future of international negotiations, national systems of innovations can adjust to these new constraints and help European Economy to develop a robust economic strategy faced with this uncertain and quickly changing system. To do so, it will focus on a) how various configurations of domestic EU policies (innovation policies, fiscal reforms, EU-ETS and sector specific policies) under various hypothesis about future climate regimes will change the distribution of oil and gas rents and how these changes will impact of the European economy b) the various uncertainties and their implication for the diffusion of technical change.


First and foremost, as a filmmaker, the question representation and inclusion in cinema is a central one. Not all of my projects involve direct action. My narrative projects emphasize collaboration with WOC, POC, LGBTQ identifying filmmakers/artists, along with writing scripts that, for instance, pass the Bechdel Test, and casting characters that are of diverse backgrounds.
Most of my documentary projects have involved some sort of direct action/organizing.

In the wake of the #oscarssowhite movement, the panel discussed the erasure of POC talent at the Oscars as a symptom of the larger issue of lack of diversity in Hollywood and the media. The panel tackled questions of intersectionality regarding gender, sexuality and ability.

|Are these shoes worth $315?|
Mr. Jackson responds to Mr. Morial's concerns that the shoes' price will promote violence in urban communities, and that the price isn't justified given America's economic troubles: "There are several troubling things that are implicit in Morial’s statement. These shoes are not targeted towards Blacks — Whites buy more of LeBron’s shoes than Blacks. There is absolutely no causation between poverty and crime and I was surprised to see that the National Urban League, of all organizations making that argument. Second, why would Morial assume all or most Blacks can’t afford to pay $ 315 for a pair of shoes? Last time I saw Marc, I didn’t spot him wearing a low priced suit from KMART. Who is he to tell a parent that they 'represent twisted priorities and confused values?' Yet, Morial and his organization expend tremendous energy pushing a homosexual rights agenda while Black-on-Black crime goes through the roof and as Black unemployment continues to rise. Tell me who 'represents twisted priorities and confused values?'"
He ain't done just yet about Mr. Morial's position: "Marc, how you ever thought about the number of Blacks that work for Nike across the country and how many jobs have been created by virtue of the popularity of LeBron’s shoes? Liberals like Morial don’t believe a Black parent has the capacity to do what’s in the best interest of their own family, therefore some third party (Morial, the government, etc.) must force a parent to do what they think should be done. They don’t trust the parent. Morial and liberals like him must make up their mind. Either Blacks are smart enough to do right by their kids or they need 'massa' to raise their kids for them."


HORMONES used in menopause medication could help protect women from dementia and Parkinsons, experts have claimed.
Women had previously been concerned about taking HRT due to fears surrounding dementia.
Now a new study by the Mayo Clinic found that loss of oestrogen could accelerate the ageing of the brain and that HRT has no adverse effects on memory.
Researchers said the surgical removal of both ovaries was associated with a five fold increased risk of Parkinsons in women under the age of 43.
They added that the explanation could be due to the lack of oestrogen.
Lead researcher Dr Walter Rocca, of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, US, said: We can say that oestrogen has some neuroprotective effects and some possibly harmful effects on the brain.
The protective effects may be against vascular or degenerative processes. For example, it has been hypothesised that oestrogen may reduce the accumulation of amyloid in the brain.
The balance between positive and negative effects on the brain may vary by age and may depend on the presence of other diseases.
Writing in Jama Network Open, the experts explained that replacing the oestrogen lost through HRT could be beneficial.
Another study published in September 2019 found that using HRT does not increase dementia risk.
HRT works by replacing the hormonesthat are depleted in menopause, including oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
The team, from the universities of Nottingham, Oxford and Southampton, looked at 118,000 women aged 55 and over who were diagnosed withdementiabetween 1998 and 2020.
Their information, drawn from UK GP surgery data, was compared to almost half a million women who did not havedementia.
In each of the groups, 14 per cent of women used HRT for more than three years.
Overall, no increased risks of developing dementia were seen in menopausal women taking HRT, the authors said.
This finding was consistent across different types of hormones, doses, applications, and time of hormone therapy initiation, the authors said.
Oestrogen-only therapy usually only taken by women who no longer have a womb appeared to be protective.
It was linked to 15 per cent decreased odds of dementia among women younger than 80 who received treatment for at least ten years.
Each year of treatment correlated with a 1.1 per cent decrease in risk.

TEL AVIV – The new Israeli government, set to be sworn in on Thursday evening, has “the right and the obligation” to decide if and how it wants to apply sovereignty over Jewish settlements in the West Bank, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday as he wrapped up a six-hour visit to Jerusalem.
He met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and newly appointed defense minister, rotational prime minister and unity government partner, Benny Gantz.
“We had a good conversation about how to go forward. They will need to find a way together to proceed,” he said in an interview with Israel Hayom.
“I reminded them that, at the end of the day, this is an Israeli decision,” he said. “They will have both the right and the obligation to make a decision on how they are going to do it.”
Pompeo said his meetings revolved around the coronavirus pandemic, Iran’s regional aggression, the U.S.’ concerns over China’s involvement in Israel, and President Donald Trump’s “vision for peace” for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“We spoke not only about the matter of annexation but also about many other topics that are related to it — how to deal with all the elements involved in the issue, and how it would be possible to ensure the move is done properly in order to bring about an outcome in accordance with the vision of peace,” he said.
Later, Pompeo seemed more unequivocal in an interview with the KAN public broadcaster.
“The Israeli government will make decisions about annexation — whether to do it, and how to do it and the timing of annexation,” he said.
After his remarks, senior State Department officials said the new Israeli government will need time to decide how and whether to move forward with the annexation plans and added that the U.S. would support a decision either way.
“The Israelis are working through this,” an official said. “We’re supportive of their efforts. They’ve got a coalition government that has various strands and I think it’s going to take them a while to come together with what they’re going to do.”
According to the unity deal struck between Netanyahu and Gantz, Israel can begin annexation as early as July 1.
The Trump administration’s peace proposal sees Israel annexing 30 percent of the West Bank which Friedman emphasized includes “areas essential to Israel’s Biblical DNA” – and the entire Jordan Valley.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSGAY RIGHTS RALLY
from Eyewitness News Online
Same-Sex Couples Try To Apply For Marriage Licenses; Opponents Also Turn Out For Rally
Reported by: Darrah Wilcox
Videographer: Kenney Barnette
Web Producer: Jeff Morris
Also Contributing: Dave Benton
Reported: Feb. 14, 2013 12:50 PM EST
Updated: Feb. 14, 2013 10:00 PM EST
Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia
About a dozen same-sex couples walked into the Cabell County Clerk's Office to try to apply for marriage licenses Thursday morning during a rally by a group of gay rights activists and supporters.
Justin Murdock helped organize the event. "You know a man and a woman can meet out here on the sidewalk and go in and get a license, but my partner and I who have been together for over two years now, we're in a committed. We have a home together. We're a part of this community, a part of our church. We still can't get a license."
He and his partner went into the Cabell County courthouse Thursday to apply for a marriage license.
"We know we're going to get turned down, but we don't think that's right.
He's not alone. Several other same sex couples applied for a license this Valentine's Day.
Jessica Crum also went with her partner. She said, ""We're American citizens, we're patriots, and at the end of the day we deserve equal rights."
Many friends turned out to support them. Raine Klover is straight and married, but helped organized the equality rally. Klover said, "I believe that equality is universal. That everyone deserves the right to be married, to love the person that they love, and to have the rights and privileges that marriage confers. "
While there were some counter-protesters, the group decided collectively to ignore them.
Murdock said, "We're here with a message about love and equality. From our standpoint there here with a negative of hate and inequality.
Although gay marriage is not recognized in the state of West Virginia, couples wanted the act of applying for licenses to represent their hope for a change in that law.
Murdock said even though they were denied a license, he felt the message was successful, and they're not ready to give up. "We'll keep applying until we can get one."
The group of gay rights activists and supporters held the same event last year on Valentine's Day and this year the demonstration has grown.
