Louise and Philip Simmonds' daughter, Charlotte, almost died after developing a group B Streptococcal infection. |
Louise and Philip Simmonds’ daughter, Charlotte, was born at Bassetlaw Hospital in Worksop on September 11 at 38 weeks, but it was soon clear that she was deeply unwell and she was taken into urgent special care, after developing a ‘grunting’ sound when breathing. |
Charlotte has since made a full recovery. |
Charlotte developed sepsis and on day three, her parents were faced with the news that Charlotte also had suspected meningitis. |
Louise, who is the headteacher at Charles Baines Community Primary School, said: “A few hours after Charlotte was born she started having breathing difficulties, making a grunting sound. She had very high infection levels in her blood and meningitis was suspected. |
“A lumbar puncture was done, but the spinal fluid sample couldn’t be used as a vein was caught and there was blood in the sample. |
Unlike many developed countries, the UK does not routinely test for group B Strep, which causes a range of serious infections including pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. |
The bacteria may be passed unknowingly from a mother to her baby around birth, and kills one baby a week in the UK. |
Most group B Strep infections in newborn babies can be prevented by testing the mother late in pregnancy and providing intravenous antibiotics during labour to those who test positive. |
“I hadn’t even heard of group B Strep before Charlotte was born and was not offered a test for it,” said Louise. |
“I think all women should be screened as a matter of course as I wouldn’t wish anyone to go through what we’ve suffered as a family. |
“The whole experience has been highly traumatic, not least for our little two-year-old son, who was separated from me and his new baby sister. |
Louise and Philip, from Beckingham, near Gainsborough, are being supported by Group B Strep Support, which is working to eradicate the infection in newborn babies. |
Jane Plumb MBE, the charity’s founder and chief executive, said the UK’s policy on group B Strep was not working. |
She added: “At present, pregnant woman are assessed for risk factors for group B Strep developing in the baby, however we are missing lots of babies whose mums don’t have risk factors but do carry the bacteria and this means we’re putting newborns at a terrible risk of dying or suffering from a devastating long-term he... |
‘Public opinion is moving in the direction of this bill,’ Chief Research Officer for SurveyMonkey Jon Cohen told the Times. |
The poll, published in the New York Times conducted by SurveyMonkey, shows that 51 percent of Americans now approve of the new law, while 46 percent remain opposed. |
Support for the law has been on the rise since its passage in December when only 26 percent of Americans approved of the bill, according to Monmouth University. In a new poll released last month, the university showed that support had risen to 44 percent nationally. |
Though Facebook growth may be slowing here in the US, the social networking service has been doing very well overseas; especially in Brazil. In fact, at the end of 2011, the service pulled into the top position for Brazilian social networking sites and surpassed the long-favored Google Orkut service. |
According to comScore, Facebook managed to attract 36.1 million monthly unique visitors by the month of December in 2011. The rapid growth in Brazil since December 2010 marks an increase of 192 percent. Despite Facebook’s new lead, Orkut managed to grow by 5 %, and ended 2011 with 34.4 million visitors. The total Brazi... |
“Brazil has always been a particularly social market and currently owns the fifth largest social networking population in the world. But despite the cultural affinity for social media, Facebook adoption had traditionally lagged in the market. That has all changed in the past year, during which the site has tripled in a... |
ComScore points out that, not only have the number of users grown for Facebook, but so has interest. Average visitors spent 4.8 hours on the site, up from 37 minutes in 2010. The average number of monthly visits rose by 163 percent, and users average page views increased by 655%. |
Though the majority of Facebook interest began in Brazil’s Southeast region, traffic is now widespread across the country. Visitors from Rio de Janeiro and Distrito Federal seem to be the most interested in Facebook, spending an average of 5.1 hours on the social networking site. Brazilian women also tend to average mo... |
Along with Facebook’s growth Twitter visitors have grown by 40%, which puts the micro-blogging site in the number 4 position for popular social networking sites. Interest in Vostu and Tumblr have grown dramatically, with an increase of 338% and 206% respectively. |
The Facebook numbers seem to have dropped off for early adopting countries like the US and the UK, with these types of numbers in countries like Brazil, Facebook is well on its way to the iCrossing projected 1 billion users by late-summer. |
May I appeal to residents in Bexhill and the rest of Rother, to consider becoming a local councillor. |
Just 38 troops are needed to take on the developers. |
We have just experienced a full council unable to make a decision, mainly because developers are in control of planning. |
We should not have a situation where a developer can say ‘I want to build here, you try and stop me’. |
If you are concerned about over-development, social care, education and transport, do something about it. We have an opportunity to change things in May this year. |
1) Take away the right of appeal from developers. |
3) Build communities not just estates. |
4) Create open space and self-sufficient gardens to grow food for residents on the developments – this would give a healthier lifestyle. |
6) No development at Spindlewood. |
7) Reconsider the Drill Hall plans. |
8) A plan for £60 million for a Bexhill Town council. |
Get your application form from your District Council. They need to be in by April 3. |
Drawing inspiration from ethnic jewelry and antiques, Thompson layers pieces to create unique jewelry and knits. |
Next Door Boutique may have opened several months ago in downtown Delafield, but Renotta Thompson's work represents a lifetime of work. The boutique, which used to be in Brookfield, is where Thompson displays her knits and jewelry under the brand RRT Designs. She pairs her pieces with complementary clothing and accesso... |
For Thompson, her jewelry making process starts with a bead. She's been collecting antique beads for more than 20 years. |
"I love ethnic jewelry. A lot of the time it's a bead," Thompson says of creative process. "I like fabricating the metal element. I don't have a set idea as I start; each piece evolves." |
She finds the beads in stores, at flea markets and on trips with her husband to the Southwest. She takes those antique beads and fabricates them into jewelry, combining the pieces with newer beads and stones, and pewter that she cuts and molds herself. She sells her jewelry at the Milwaukee Art Museum and at her store. |
She makes necklaces, bracelets and earrings that are, overall, simple in design and construction. They're sometimes chunky chokers, sometimes just a pendant, but they're always interesting. |
Each piece is unlike any other. It has to be, considering some of the items she uses are products of a time before machines made products uniform. Take the Hebron beads in bracelets she keeps at the front counter. The color of each stone is a bit different from the next, reflecting its hand-made nature. |
She explains her process. She experiments by combining the stones with pewter, which is a soft metal that she can shape however she likes. |
"I don't solder anymore," Thompson said. "Everything I do is simpler now, more affordable." She explains that she used to work with sterling silver but that it costs a lot more. She typically sells her jewelry for $30 to $100. |
Thompson applies that do-it-yourself approach to knits as well. She knits simple scarves, hats and wraps, table runners and pillows, but she often spins her own yarn for the pieces. Or she weaves one pieces and adds a crocheted element to it. Or she adds simply prints to a woven pieces. There are layers of texture and ... |
"I've always liked antiques," she said. "I collect Japanese, Chinese, Indonesia pieces for our home." |
You can see the ethnic influence in her slightly bohemian style. In her boutique, she pairs her work with complementary clothing and accessories like soft knits, loose tees and funky jewelry. |
Thompson said, "I became interested acquainted with textiles and jewelry in college, and I went back to it as I was working." |
She studied occupational therapy in college, and said that jewelry making, knitting and weaving was part of the coursework at the time. |
She had a fiber shop in Wauwatosa, then opened her clothing boutique, Next Door, in Brookfield before relocating the store to Delafield. She lives in Hartland with her husband. |
She said, "I enjoy coordinating (the jewelry) with items in the store. It all comes together in the store." |
You can visit Thompson's store and get an insight into Thompson's aesthetic for yourself. |

If everyone wants what’s best for kids, why is getting a deal to fix Detroit Public Schools so hard? |
Charter advocates say they want the same things as public school proponents – accountable, well-managed schools that offer great educational outcomes for all kids. |
But charter advocates like Michigan Association of Public School Academies Dan Quisenberry, who appeared Wednesday morning at the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac Policy Conference, seem bent on resisting the implementation of any standard or process that would require charter operators to deliver the outcomes they’... |
The current sticking point, in the slate of DPS reform bills being debated in Lansing, is governance. Oh, and money -- Oh, and money – the state Senate’s version of the DPS reform bills included $200 million folks like Gov. Rick Snyder, state Sen. Geoff Hansen and Detroit schools emergency manager Steven Rhodes say is ... |
But the real problem, for Quisenberry and other charter advocates, is the creation of a Detroit Education Commission, a body envisioned as an air traffic controller for Detroit schools. It’s a simple idea – this commission would take a citywide view of the education landscape, ensuring that school openings make sense g... |
Detroit kids don’t need another “adult” organization fiddling with education, Quisenberry said repeatedly. Bad charter schools close, he said. And people should be held accountable for charter school performance – neatly bypassing the reality that state law doesn’t offer sufficient controls to make that possible. |
Quisenberry’s charter apologia seemed to boggle John Rakolta Jr., chairman of construction company Walbridge and a leader in a Detroit-based coalition to improve educational outcomes and Quisenberry’s putative opponent in Wednesday morning’s debate. |
Where’s the alternate plan, Rakolta asked Quisenberry. The reform package the House has balked at has been on the table for the last 18 months. If charter advocates have a better idea, it’s time to bring it forward. |
GOP lawmakers in Lansing are holding up a package of education reform bills required to keep the state’s largest school district solvent, because the package as written seems, to some lawmakers, to privilege traditional public schools over charters. On Twitter, Gary Naeyaert, of the charter-and-choice advocacy group Gr... |
It's pretty plain language: Protecting the doctrine of choice supersedes educational outcomes for children. |
And it’s an astonishing situation. |
Charter schools are here to stay. Some 40,000 Detroit children are enrolled in them. DPS is here to stay. About 47,000 Detroit children are enrolled in it. |
What’s required is financial assistance and academic oversight to ensure that both systems function as they ought, so Detroit kids get the education they deserve. |
A new retail building is planned on two commercial properties along El Camino Real in Sunnyvale. |
