In Australia, experts can now predict if a newborn baby is at risk of childhood obesity by 8 to 9 years old.
Experts from the University of Queensland designed and validated the i-PATHWAY model. It uses simple risk factors that researchers mainly gathered during routine doctor visits at 12 months of age to predict future childhood obesity.
Dr. Oliver Canfell, a research fellow and an expert on diet and nutrition, said that the said model could measure the risk of childhood obesity with 74.6% accuracy.
The risk factors used are the newborn baby s weight change in their first year, mother s height and weight before pregnancy, father s height and weight, and the newborn baby s sleep pattern in the first year. Premature birth, if the mother smoked during her pregnancy and if the baby is female, was also used.

The history of Jews in Europe has not always been a happy one. Europe’s treatment of the Jews added certain words to the human vocabulary: disputation, forced conversion, inquisition, expulsion, auto da fe, ghetto, pogrom and Holocaust, words written in Jewish tears and Jewish blood. Yet for all that, Jews loved Europe and contributed to it some of its greatest scientists, writers, academics, musicians, shapers of the modern mind.”

Fifty years ago, Orangeburg County initiated an educational system that completely changed the course of the social side of life for the people both Black and white.
While the United States Supreme Court rendered its decision on segregated schools in 1954, South Carolina and Orangeburg County delayed full desegregation until the 1970 school year when the last appeal was denied.
That year was the beginning of school consolidation for Orangeburg County.
In 1963, the first Blacks enrolled into the all-white schools in the City of Orangeburg.
Then in 1964, Orangeburg began operating under a âfreedom of choiceâ plan. The separate but equal facilities for the Blacks and for the whites gave way, slowly but surely, to an integrated system of consolidating the schools.
