Friends, we know that seeing specialists and hearing your child could potentially have cardiac issues after receiving a prenatal diagnosis can all be overwhelming. We also know that while months of celebrating and advocating for awareness can be helpful, but also adds to those valid overwhelming feelings when you're new to a diagnosis. While those statistics are true, 50% of babies born with Down syndrome are born with heart defects. There are also incredible advancements in cardiology and amazing physicians like our guest this week Dr. Lorraine Schratz there for your family every step of the way! Dr. Schratz is a pediatric and fetal cardiologist at Massachusetts General for Children and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. She acknowledges the fear that comes with a diagnosis but emphasizes the advancements in medicine that have led to fewer follow-up surgeries for people with Down syndrome. Dr. Schratz stresses the importance of providing families with both medical facts and emotional support, tailoring information to their needs, and encouraging patients to ask as many questions as they need to. She shares her advice to create healthy habits for our kiddos with and without heart defects, what to expect when receiving a diagnosis, and recommends resources for support. We're so grateful for conversations like these, and in the words that Dr. Schratz's patients wanted to send us, “It'll be ok!”  --- SHOW NOTES NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society) The Heart And Down Syndrome American Heart Association (Dr. Schratz recommends using the health conditions tab for helpful resources and information) Global Down Syndrome Foundation (more information and resources on congenital heart defects) The Brett Boyer Foundation American Academy of Pediatrics: Down syndrome guidelines DISCOUNT CODE Friends, grab your narrative shifting gear over on The Lucky Few Merch Shop and use code PODCAST for 10% off!

The Government of British Columbia's Master Agreement with religious healthcare facilities allows some hospitals to 'opt-out' of providing patients with procedures that they're legally entitled too. This means your right to MAID or an abortion is subject to the whims of Catholic Bishops and not the rule of law. Find out about the history of religious hospitals in the province and how this agreement came about. We'll also give you the tools to help end these religious opt-outs.

From BMX riding to tacos, in this great episode we speak with Aurora local & operator of All Spoked Up, Mr. Jon Schratz. Jon is an Aurora native and this episode is especially cool because we were live on location! The bike shop is a cool place and they moved locations on Downer Street to simply one building over. We got to see the new place and meet Frances the cat, the store mascot. Much more than just a sport, hobby or pastime, biking is also a great way to reduce stress and reflect. Our everyday lives do tend to be a little hectic; for many people biking has replaced golf for their relaxation. We also talk about how the biking industry has been affected by covid19 and current challenges. It was great to speak to Jon and hear what he has to say about our shared community. If you're looking for a bike or need to get some repairs done, look no further than All Spoked Up! Shout outs go to Vizo Arts, Aurora Downtown & our friend Jose at Lanphere's furniture. Shout out to all postal workers, shouts also go out to all artists & authors in Aurora. We'd also like to give a kudos to all the groups and organizations doing good things on behalf of the community. Remember to donate food items to our local food pantry and to be on the lookout for ways you can help get involved. Shouts also go out to the Aurora Public Art Commission, Aurora City Council and Cotton Seed Creative Exchange. Be blessed and motivated and do great things! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningaurora/support

Man kann zu sozialen Medien unterschiedliche Auffassungen haben. Aber die Wissenschaftspodcaster nutzen das Medium twitter recht aktiv und auch das Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) bespielt seinen Kanal @KITKarlsruhe so, dass man als Abonnent tatsächlich mancherlei erfährt. Am 7. Oktober wurde z.B. dort weitererzählt, dass Ergebnisse einer Simulation aus dem KIT in einem Artikel der New York Times (vom 2.10. 2018) vorgestellt wurden, der die Auswirkungen des Sulawesi-Erdbebens und des von ihm ausgelöstenTsunamis in Indonesien (vom 29.9.2018) anhand von Luftbildern begreifbar macht. Genauer handelte es sich um Tsunami-Modelle von Andreas Schäfer vom Geophysikalischen Institut und Gudruns Neugier war geweckt. Sie wollte gern genaueres über diese Modelle erfahren. Am 23. Oktober traf sie sich mit dem Bauingenieur und Physiker zum Gespräch. Ebenfalls auf dem twitter-Kanal des KIT hatte Gudrun in der Zwischenzeit erfahren, dass Andreas der Zeitschrift des Deutschen Hochschulverbandes Forschung und Lehre zu seinem Engagement auf Twitter und Facebook Rede und Antwort gestanden hat und auch ein erfahrener Science-Slammer ist. Somit gab es noch viel mehr Gesprächsstoff. Die Aktivität auf twitter sieht z.B. so aus, dass Andreas die Daten eines gemeldeten Erbebens in seine Simulation einspeist und die Auswirkungen berechnet und visualisiert. Das Bild dazu wird anschließend über twitter (und Facebook) an die Leute verteilt, die sich dafür interessieren (die Follower). Hier als Beispiel die Analyse zu dem Erdbeben in Indonesien. Ein kürzlich aufgezeichneter Mitschnitt eines Science-Slam-Beitrags zu Andreas Forschung über Tsunamis ist der Beitrag Talking Tsunami. Im Moment ist Andreas mit mehreren Mitstreitern dabei, ein Startup zu gründen, das Risikoanalysen machen kann Risklayer.

Lawinen und Muren sind im alpinen Bergland allgegenwärtige Gefahren, daher ist die Simulation des Abgangs gerade für Anwohner und Versicherungen sehr wichtig. Auf Basis eines Geländemodell aus dem Grass GIS Geoinformationssystem hat Katharina Schratz das mathematische Modell numerisch umgesetzt, und geht im Gespräch mit Sebastian Ritterbusch auf die Besonderheiten der Diskretisierung und der speziellen CFL-Bedingungung für numerische Stabilität ein.

Betty Meyer a “north-ender with a South End heart” lived in the South End for 20 years. She is 91 years old, a great grandma and a lively woman. Betty is an avid volunteer at Newark Hospital, Licking County Alcohol Prevention, as well as the Veterans Hospital. Betty has been dedicated to doing anything and everything to better her community (Bartoshuk, Blake, Cook, Gunn, Schratz and Stark, 2013). --- The South End of Newark, Ohio is an area that is literally and figuratively made up of side streets. The South End is comprised of three district areas that border the south side of the main square of town. It is home to a variety of people, churches, and community organizations that have deep emotional ties in the area. Several families have lived in the South End for generations. Newark itself is a town not unlike many towns that are struggling financially across the United States. It has a rich history, was once bustling with commerce and community involvement, and has been significantly impacted by outsourcing, downsizing and suburban sprawl. The South End has been directly impacted by the closing of schools, stores and industries such as the railroad and the Heisey Glass Company. Where once it was a thriving community and as one participant noted, “complete,” the South End now experiences: high unemployment, low levels of academic achievement beyond high school with dropout rates of around 27%, a population of around 44% renters, and an average income of 35,000.00 for a family of four (Gunn 2103). These podcasts were produced by students enrolled in Professor Anne Crowley's “Technology & Learning” course in collaboration with students in Dr. Amanda M. Gunn’s “Communication and Culture” senior seminar.

The South End is comprised of three district areas that border the south side of the main square of town. It is home to a variety of people, churches, and community organizations that have deep emotional ties in the area. Several families have lived in the South End for generations. Newark itself is a town not unlike many towns that are struggling financially across the United States. It has a rich history, was once bustling with commerce and community involvement, and has been significantly impacted by outsourcing, downsizing and suburban sprawl.

Where once it was a thriving community and as one participant noted, “complete,” the South End now experiences: high unemployment, low levels of academic achievement beyond high school with dropout rates of around 27%, a population of around 44% renters, and an average income of 35,000.00 for a family of four (Gunn 2103).
