  • News Society Second thoughts Home truths Poor housing can destroy a child's future, says Lisa Harker Share 3 Email Lisa Harker The Guardian, Tuesday 12 September 2006 Britain is hooked on housing. Queues snake round DIY retail parks each weekend, and TV schedules are saturated with home makeover shows. But there is one area where the appetite for all things housing appears to have stopped short.While the government's Every Child Matters programme for child welfare picks out health, safety, economic well-being, making a positive contribution, enjoying and achieving as the critical factors that shape children's lives, there is no explicit recognition of the role that housing plays - despite the fact that more than a million children in Britain are living in poor housing.That figure will come as no surprise to professionals working at the sharp end of the housing crisis, but whether the scale of the problem is grasped by those shaping public policy is far from clear.Earlier this year I was commissioned by Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity, to undertake a comprehensive review of research examining the impact of bad housing on children's future chances. The resulting report, Chance of a Lifetime, published today, documents the powerful influence of poor housing on children's lives and shows how its destabilising impact is felt long into adulthood.

  • On every aspect of life - mental, physical, emotional, social and economic - living in bad housing can hand children a devastating legacy. Studies show that poor housing can lead to a 25% higher risk of experiencing severe ill-health and disability before they reach middle age. In particular, such children face a greater chance of developing meningitis, infections, asthma or other respiratory problems

  • It can also have a devastating impact on emotional wellbeing. Research shows that homeless children are three to four times more likely to have mental health problems than other children
  • How can a homeless child flourish when they are two to three times more likely to be absent from school and become used to watching their no more able, but well-housed, contemporaries leapfrog their progress? How can a child develop healthily when their home is cold and damp, their chest hurts when they breathe, and they can't sleep at night, as one girl described her experience of living in a house where the heating does not work?

    Where a child is required to make their home has a lasting effect on their health and their well-being. This carries into society and has an effect there as well.

    I chose going to a thrift store as something to do in the city that would bring me the most enjoyment because my husband and I often go to thrift stores and antique stores to wander and simply lose ourselves together in the things of the past and things of the broken, unwanted, and unused present. I find more treasure in a thrift store that appeals to my heart than I could ever find at the mall.

    Music as a health patterning modality for preterm infants in the NICU Neal, Diana Odland . University of Minnesota, ProQuest, UMI Dissertations Publishing, 2008. 3330515. Turn on hit highlighting for speaking browsers Hide highlighting Abstract (summary) Translate Abstract Preterm birth is on the rise causing neonatal mortality and is a major determinant of early childhood mortality and morbidity in the United States. Numerous preterm infants suffer from neurological disability including cerebral palsy; visual and hearing impairments; learning difficulties; and, psychological, behavioral, and social problems. This increasing incidence of prematurity, prevalence of significant morbidity, and burden to society, both personal and cost-related, make it imperative to identify developmental care strategies such as music that might reduce this burden . This study integrates the work of music therapy, neuroscience, audiology, and medicine with nursing to address the uncertainty regarding the effect of music as a holistic health patterning modality and discover if preterm infant physiological and neurobehavioral state responses to music and ambient noise are different. The goal of this study was to establish a foundation for further research related to the use of music with preterm infants and to address the issue of safety in providing music as a health patterning modality for this population. Forty-one clinically stable, non-ventilated, appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) preterm infants from 32 to 35 weeks gestation in a large, urban Midwest Children's Hospital NICU were included in this study. An interrupted time-series design with repeated measures was used to explore the health patterning responses of preterm infants to an intentionally designed music intervention of recorded piano music. The effect of the music was measured every 30-seconds before, during, and after the sound condition of music or ambient noise by observi

Why Aren't Cameras Allowed at the Supreme Court Again? - The Wire - 0 views

  • Then, in 1999, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley introduced legislation that would have allowed cameras into Supreme Court proceedings. As a response, the Court began to release audio of oral arguments, but only after arguments concluded. To state the obvious, the Supreme Court last year makes history on a regular basis, whether by ending racial segregation in schools or legalizing both interracial marriage and abortion. In 2000, the Supreme Court essentially picked the President. The Constitution gives a tremendous amount of power to grant a group of nine judges who aren't elected and are given lifetime appointments. Adding a little more transparency into the mix certainly wouldn't hurt anyone.
  • It is Supreme Court Justices themselves who have been the most vocal opponents of allowing cameras into their courtroom. However, there are several members of the current Court who have expressed either a desire to allow cameras in the proceedings or at least some interest in entertaining the idea. C-SPAN has compiled a conclusive list of instances where justices have spoken either for or against cameras in the courtroom. Going by their past statements, the Court is currently split 4-3 towards not allowing cameras, but those two undecided votes could swing the majority in favor of allowing them.

  • Parental drug misuse can have an effect on the development of the foetus and long-term consequences for children. Some effects may be physical, but the most important ones will be on the developing mind and brain of the child. These effects may not be visible, and, in some cases, the impact on the child´s development and behaviour may not manifest for some years.
  • The effects on the unborn child include: chromosomal abnormalities; structural malformations (e.g. cleft palate); intrauterine growth retardation; functional impairment (e.g. deafness); behavioural abnormalities (e.g. hyperactivity); and learning difficulties.

    On this web page we see that Parents have a major effect on the development of their child before birth. When the parent makes choices to expose their unborn children to any form of drugs or alcohol there are high costs for their child. These costs do not end with childhood.

  • Parents’ educational level when the child was 8 years old significantly predicted educational and occupational success for the child 40 years later. Structural models showed that parental educational level had no direct effects on child educational level or occupational prestige at age 48 but had significant indirect effects that were independent of the other predictor variables’ effects. These indirect effects were mediated through age 19 educational aspirations and age 19 educational level. These results provide strong support for the unique predictive role of parental education on adult outcomes 40 years later and underscore the developmental importance of mediators of parent education effects such as late adolescent achievement and achievement-related aspirations
  • Maelani Parker on 26 Aug 12
     
    This passage shows that the level of education a person attains in their early years will effect the education of their children. This is another effect parents have on their children and future generations simply by their choices in the field of education.
