Learn Photography - RMIT Short Courses | RMIT University - Duration: 1:35.
(serene music)
- My name's Deborah Dorman.
I teach a number of short courses at RMIT.
The introduction to photography level one, level two,
and a people and portrait course.
The courses are very comprehensive.
The introductory course covers everything
from your technical camera skills, exposure
and what all the bells and buttons and whistles do
through to composition design, lighting.
We get all ages, from high school students
through to retirees.
There are some people that are looking to build a folio,
to go on to further education.
Others are just doing it for a hobby.
- I'm a full-time tradesman, but always been into
like videography or anything to do with cameras.
It's something to start off at, like doing it
for short course, it can make you think
whether or not I do want to push it.
I knew that I had to put a lot of attention
to get, to look better.
Within the first lesson, practiced that
during the week, and you could definitely see
the quality of photo turn out a lot better.
I've learned a lot.
- One of the things with the short courses
is that there's no formal assessment.
So if you're feeling a little bit anxious
about passing, then you don't have to worry.
It's just adult education.
You come, you learn at your own pace.
When you get tot he end of it, just to see
how excited they are about photography
and that they know to get the results
that they want now, it's very rewarding.

Linking Google Scholar to Lancaster University Library collections - Duration: 2:59.
Hello and welcome to this short video on linking Google Scholar to library
collections. The reason you might want to link Google Scholar to library
collections is that lots of people really like the simplicity of searching
Google Scholar. It's free easy to use and provides Quick Links to millions of
scholarly articles books and papers. However Google Scholar can't provide you
with access to papers which require a paid for subscription. To avoid being asked
to pay for articles that the library has already paid for on your behalf you can
update your Google Scholar settings. Before I do that I'll just run a really
quick search in Google Scholar. In Google scholar you can use double quotes to
phrase search and you can add multiple keywords so I can do a search here for
'attitudes towards end of life care for children with cancer' and you can see
here that we've got lots of links Google Scholar is trying to pick up on open
access publications and because I'm based on campus at the moment it's
already trying to link with us our collections in the background. However we
can see this top one has no link and so we'd be asked to pay for that so for
that article if we go to the three lines at the top of the google scholar page we
can open the options menu go down to the settings cog and here we can see an
option for library links. Click on library links and in the search box. Type
in Lancaster University and hit the search button. You'll see that we now have
an option for 'Lancaster University find it at Lancaster'. Click Save and now we
can see we've got a link through to find it at Lancaster. If we click on the link
we're redirected to onesearch and we can see the article information from
onesearch. Please bear in mind if you're searching Google Scholar from
off-campus it won't automatically recognize that you're a member of Lancaster
University even if you have the library link set up. You'll still need to
log into onesearch click login and then staff and students. Pop in your details
and then you'll be logged in to onesearch. Then if we click on the link
through to the publishers website you can download the PDF from there. I hope
that was helpful and please do check out our other videos on making the best use
of library collections. Thanks very much!

University of Montevallo - Behavioral and Social Sciences - Duration: 2:40.
(uplifting pop music)
The Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences
is a great place for students to study
because we have opportunities related to internships,
we emphasize the real-world applications
of our curriculum and we encourage students
to become involved in undergraduate research
and then a lot of our classes are very discussion-focused
and we encourage students to build
those higher level thinking skills.
I chose the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences
at the University of Montevallo based on the willingness
of the instructors to help their students
and the small class sizes allow you
to get valuable one-on-one attention with your professor
and they always make time for their students.
My favorite thing about the Department
of Behavioral and Social Sciences would be
the one-on-one attention that I get from the professor.
Basically, we're able to come into their office hours
and get help after class, any questions that we have,
if we just want to talk about class or politics,
we're able to do that with them, so,
just that one-on-one attention that we're able to get.
We use a variety of new technologies in the classroom.
For example, I've recently been working
on delivering podcasts to students
in one of my online courses and then a lot
of our faculty have become interested in, for example,
using virtual reality in the classroom.
Then we also have a number of professors who utilize Skype
and they'll often have well-known speakers
or scholars Skyping in the classroom
and that's really exciting for students
to be able to talk to some of the authors
that they've read recently and some of the public figures
that they never thought they'd actually
to communicate with.
I would recommend the Department of Behavioral
and Social Sciences to future students
because the professors here really care about the
students' future and there's a large amount
of resources here that they offer.
I would tell prospective students
that the University of Montevallo's
Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences
is a place where you will get to know the faculty.
You'll be able to take field trips to far away places,
you'll have opportunities to present
your own original research that you conducted under
the guidance of faculty, at regional conferences,
you'll be able to engage in what's called service learning.
You will have opportunities for very close contact
with the faculty and so that makes this experience unique,
makes it different from what many other universities offer.

My WOW Experience | Matthew Harris-Edwards | University of Lincoln - Duration: 1:41.
When I first got accepted into the University of Lincoln, I was really excited
but at the same time nervous and that's understandable. You see, I have
Autism and I'm not used to things unfamiliar to my usual surroundings and
I was going to the University of Lincoln - a different location from where I was.
I will be far away from my home, meaning I would be in a place I'm not familiar with.
But the University of Lincoln had this summer program called Wow which
helps people like me with special needs feel comfortable in the area
in order to prepare us for uni.
We did activities such as building bridges made from newspaper
entering the university as well as touring Lincoln itself.
After that I felt more confident when moving here. Ever since studying here I feel confident and
happy. I've managed to make some new friends, I've joined the society or two,
and I've even went clubbing down at the Engine Shed.
Lincoln is also a really nice City as well, since I had everything I wanted on my doorstep.
Cinema, restaurants, train station, gym, you-name-it.
The main thing that has helped me cope is that
there are people in the university who listen to your problems. Whenever I had
some concerns or issues I always spoke to one of the staff members.
The staff faculty at the University and the Student Wellbeing Center are
really nice people as they are able to figure out your problems and the best
way to solve them. The tutors who help how in your lessons are also extremely
helpful too - as they are able to give you advice on what you need to do and how to improve.
Overall, being in Lincoln has helped me to become a more confident individual,
and I hope it does it same to you too.

CMU and DT Swiss USA project | Colorado Mesa University - Duration: 1:29.
my name is Korey Moore and I'm the operations manager here at DT Swiss I
got an email from Chris Pennock looking for projects for the engineering
department working with the students from CMU has been a was a huge help for
us. I was a little bit apprehensive on their gonna develop a pretty
sophisticated tooling that we have as I started working with with the three of
them and then also meeting their professors you could tell that they
genuinely had a desire to do something in in a way hit a home run any little
tidbit of information I gave them they would ask really pertinent detailed
questions that I didn't think that that I would I was going to be asked it blew
my expectations out of the water the project was to help us design a truing
stand that would be able to do dish basically all dishes is that the rim is
gonna circle the hub evenly so that when it goes down the road it rolls and
doesn't go wobble the feedback that the professor's were giving to say like okay
you hit all these marks but I'd like to see you do a little bit more on X Y & Z
and next time around it was they did a really good job for us and a couple of
the changes that they made we're gonna incorporate from the stand point of DT
Swiss working with with CMU, I think it's a win-win

Nevada Weekly, University of Nevada, Reno, November 5, 1979 - Duration: 29:24.
Terrie Nault; Good morning and welcome to another edition of Nevada Weekly. I'm Terrie Nault with
John Marschall. John, how are you feeling this morning?
John Marschall; I'm feeling a little plugged up, thank you. Terrie nault; You seem to be taking turns on that. I hope
you're feeling better. John Marschall; I hope to be better by next time. Terrie Nault; What's
up first this morning? John Marschall; Terrie, it's a matter of life and breath,
as a matter of fact. Terrie Nault; John, are we going to be talking about smoking? John Marschall; We're not going
to be talking about smoking, but some good friends of ours are. Dr. Joe Crowley,
Vice President Bob Carell, Dr. Pacita Manolo, and northern Nevada Chairman of
the Great American Smokeout, Bob Rusk. We're all going to be talking about the
need to quit smoking on November 15th, for that day or, perhaps, forever. Bob Rusk; It's my
pleasure to introduce Dr. Pacita Manolo Sears, who is a associate
professor Doctor of Laboratory Medicine at the University Medical School, also
Dr. Robert Carrell, University Vice President, pleasure to have you here with
us today, and the President of the University of Nevada-Reno, Dr. Joe
Crowley. Joe, it's a pleasure to have you here. We have amongst us, a couple of
ex-smokers, a recent pipe smoker, who's not sure whether he's an ex-smoker or
not, and a happy smoker, and between this awesome group, I think we should be able
to have a good general discussion of what the Great American Smokeout is
about. It certainly could draw the attention to the general public as we
have the past three year three years to the idea of why anybody should
consider, that's a smoker, giving up smoking. Going just briefly
through some of the statistics, kind of interesting, the world tobacco
consumption, again from 1978, five million tons were produced nationwide, which
produced four point two trillion cigarettes, which is a lot of cigarettes.
Americans and those in the advanced industrial nations smoke less because of
high taxes and warnings that it is bad for your health. The world's emerging
countries are smoking more American cigarettes. Companies export under the
government Food for Peace Program. Throughout most of Africa,
vendors are required by law to sell cigarettes individually, rather than by
the pack, and some of the isolated Sudanese towns, for example, where a young
man might have an income of two-hundred a year, will spend ten cents for the right to
smoke a cigarette. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, takes the position that
they're very much against cigarette smoking. They outlaw all advertising of
cigarette smoke, of cigarettes, and they restrict special areas where smokers are
allowed to smoke. They insist that young people and health officials not smoke.
China is the world's largest producer of cigarettes, has only recently begun to
take the first steps in discouraging their young people from smoking. They, on
the other hand, are in the export business, and at a recent trade show, in
the Philippines, they displayed twelve different brands that they plan on
exporting worldwide. The Surgeon General's report came out in 1964 and
now, fifteen years later, the updated report shows us some interesting things. Smoking,
among men in the United States, has decreased significantly to remain
virtually the same among women and got up sharply with teenage girls. In fact, in
1964, teenage girls comprised about eight percent of their
population, and today they're with teenage boys at about fifteen percent, so with
thirty percent of our women smoking and forty percent of the men, it's interesting we
might just get into the general conversation here in discussion of the
effect from the standpoint, clinically. Dr. Manolo, I know that you've brought
some slides and some information regarding what a lung looks like and
what it goes through, as compared to a smoked nonsmoker. Patica Manolo; Yes, I thought that that
if the individual is aware of the normal structure of the lung, and what happens to
some of this normal structure in heavy smokers, that this would be quite helpful
in stopping from smoking and here, I've got the demonstration of
a cross section of a lung. Normally, this windpipe is lined by a certain type of epithelium,
which has this brush like structure on the surface, which we refer to as cilia
and this acts as a filter for all the foreign material and dust that are
normally inhaled by this individual, and when one coughs, all these materials that
were caught and this cilia are expelled from the lung and that prevents it from
settling down in the lower portion of the lung, and individuals who are heavy
smokers, the first thing that is affected, is this cilia, and so they're lost and so,
which means that you also lost the uh filtering capacity of this epithelium
Bob Rusk; And what about a smoker who decides, makes the decision one day to give up smoking?
Is that lung going to improve as a nonsmoker? Pacita Manolo; Uh yes, the sequence of events, is
after the loss of this cilia, eventually the whole thickness of this epithelium
is also lost and afterwards, in order to compensate, there is a regeneration of
this epithelium, but then the regenerated epithelium is a different type of
epithelium that the normal has. It is a squamous type of epithelium and it stays
like that and if this continues on, there will be an uncontrolled increase in the
number of cells and this is what gives rise to the carcinoma. There is
uncontrollable growth, both towards the lumen of the pipes, the wind pipes and
also towards the wall of the bronchus and into the lung tissue, but... Bob Rusk; So, there is a
regeneration? Pacita Manolo; Yes, that's the bad part of it, but then if you stop smoking, then these
replacement, eventually, will be towards the normal epithelium and this has been
proven. I participated in a study in Illinois, where in a cancer screening
program, where we screened about a thousand heavy smokers, no symptoms, no
signs of tumor, and then by chest x-ray and we just collected sputum from this
patient and about ninety-five percent of the heavy smokers showed some kind of change in
the cells that were extruded from this windpipes, but then the same patients
were followed through, afterwards, and they the ones that stopped smoking,
showed the normal epithelium, afterwards. Bob Rusk; What period of time afterwards
did that... Pacita Manolo; Uh, well and nor according to statistics, it takes about like about
from about three to ten years. You may show improvement depending on
what the type of injury it had done and, initially. Bob Rusk; Okay, now this is a bit of
shaking news that I'll display on this group. You probably didn't know who the
nonsmoker of the year was, this past year. It was Prince Charles from England, and
the reason for that was, that this was awarded by the National Society of
Non-smokers. He refused to allow his fellow guests to smoke until the end of
a recent dinner party. Now we'll give him all the applaud its necessary, for those
of us that are non-smokers, but bringing us right down to the bottom
line of what we're talking about here, we've got a happy smoker in the
midst. Dr. Crowley, give us your feelings on on how you deal with smokers and
non-smokers? Joe Crowley; I'm not sure that exactly about to describe me as a happy smoker.
It would be appropriate to say that I enjoy smoking, which is why it has been
so difficult for me to quit. I can recall a period in my life when I was a heavy
smoker and an unhappy smoker at the same time, and several times over, the course
of the years, made an effort to to quit the habit and succeeded for periods of
four months to six months to a year and eventually rationalized my way back into
it and finally, decided, I guess about eighteen years ago, that if I was going
to smoke I was not going to smoke very much and, so cut down to oh, I think at
that time three or four cigarettes a day. Over the years, I guess, I have gradually
worked my way up back to seven or eight. Most days, there are some days when I
exceed that. But those are cigarettes, I guess you could say, that I enjoy.
Previously, I would smoke every hour on the hour, every half hour around a half
hour, or what just couldn't wait to to light up, but didn't enjoy most of them,
so it's only in that sense you could describe me as a as a happy smoker. I'd
be delighted to quit and I have told myself and my children who pressure me
relentlessly, that one day soon I will and I still say that, whether it will
happen or not. I I don't know, but I certainly do understand that it's
unhealthy, that in part, I guess, is what has led me to cut down drastically, but
that in itself may be in danger. I mean, you may feel that since you don't smoke
much, it's not dangerous for you. I think, no doubt, to the extent you smoke, it is
it is dangerous. Bob Rusk; Dr. Carrell what's uh... Bob Carrell; I'm just looking at
Dr. Manolo's series of pictures and wondering what state my lungs are in.
I think I smoked a pipe for at least forty years, whenever I sat down, but I never I never felt that I was
addicted to smoking and I'm not, obviously, I was in one way or another
and maybe still am, although with me, it's it's a at least a considerable
measure of a nervous habit and I I have at least a recipe for stopping. I don't
know if this is going to work, but I picked up a flu virus about about a month or
six weeks ago and and couldn't say I didn't feel like smoking and, curiously,
just haven't started again and I don't know that I will. One of the the side advantages,
quite a part of whatever it's doing or not doing to my lungs, is that I
discovered that quit burning holes in my trousers, I don't have to empty tobacco
and ashes out of my pockets every evening, and and there's some advantage
in not having to collect all the materials all the time. Bob Rusk; Have there been any comments
from your family, friends? Bob Carrell; Uh oh yes. Well, in general, everyone tells me
how great it is that I've made this great sacrifice and, the fact is, that I
haven't thought much about it at all. Pacita Manolo; I understand. I understand that it only
takes one cigarette for the smoker who just quit to get back into the smoking
habits again. Is that true? Bob Carrell; I don't know. I've never smoked cigarettes. Joe Crowley; Well, in a
way it is. when I quit and I did, as I said, several times. Eventually, I would I
would pick something up, a cigar or a pipe and because those were not as
dangerous and I didn't inhale them and, so I would smoke them for a while. This
was the typical quitting experience for me. I would get to the point, usually
ended up with pipes because I just couldn't tolerate cigars nor could
my wife nor my clothes, and I thought I would end up with pipes, which have a
pleasant smell about them, I guess, and I would reach a point where I would begin
to inhale the pipe tobacco and then I would say to myself, boy that really is
dangerous because inhaling pipe tobacco is worse than inhaling cigarette tobacco,
so I'm far better off if I go back to cigarettes and that was the typical
pattern. I would then light up a cigarette. It would taste perfectly awful,
the first one, but the the the urge was reinvigorated and the first would
inevitably lead to the second which would still taste bad but not as bad as
the first and the third was better than the second and so on. I have no way of
knowing whether my experience is typical, but, I think, it likely that the first one
you take after a long period of abstaining is not going to delight you
too much, but it does do something to you psychologically or or internally, that
leads you to the next one. Bob Rusk; This is the the year the child. We've heard that many
times over and, certainly, the most successful non-smokers, the one that
never starts. I don't think I've ever talked to somebody that's really serious
about their health and well-being. It doesn't say much as you say, I really
would like to give it up, and they have mixed degrees of success in
accomplishing that. Bob Carrell; Mark Twain, remember, said it was easy, done it hundred times.
Bob Rusk; Exactly, so with the well, let's just start right
at the beginning and let me review just, there's a good little pamphlet. In fact,
out at the American Cancer Society has answers to the most often asked
questions about cigarette smoking and lung cancer. It's available here at the
local agency, but they they point out, here, the dangers for women while
pregnant, which is it's earth-shaking, just a couple of things. Recent evidence
linked smoking, while smoking while pregnant
to stillbirths, increased mortality among newborns, low birth weight is apparently
a standard sort of thing, you can find a child being smaller at the point of
coming into the world, nicotine restricts blood vessels and
breathing movements of unborn babies and women who smoke while carbon monoxide
reduces the oxygen level of their blood. So, you know, this is serious. There is no
question of that and, yet, it isn't it hard to see a lady that's obviously
pregnant smoking a cigarette and it's just as if they must not be aware. It's
difficult to deal with that. Children, in the early years in school now, your
experience at home with your kids coming home and expressing themselves. I see that
in my kids and their peers, really, they give as much problem to parents who
smoke as anybody. I think it's a good healthy trend, so it has been a
delightful opportunity for me and I appreciate very much the three of you
taking the time to join us today to discuss a subject that, Joe, you're
representing seventy-five million people here today and the rest of us in the sixty
percent or so group, will continue to deal with this problem and I think we're
making progress in the area that most people agree and that is, that we can
smoke less and we're better for it. Thank you very much.
Terrie Nault; Nevada's First Lady, Kathy
List, recently spoke to a local suroptimist group about her role as
chairperson of Nevada's International Year of the Child campaign. She talked
about what was going on in the International Year of the Child
nationwide and explained that the major concern throughout the country, is the
subject of child abuse. John Marschall; And, we have certainly sufficient reason in this
state to be concerned about the topic because statistics tell us that Nevada
has the highest rate of child abuse of any state in the Union.
Nevada Weeky wanted to address that issue and brought together some
concerned citizens, a pediatrician, a Juvenile Court Master, Assemblyman, and
professor of journalism. Nevada Weekly reporter, Norma
Lindaburgh, introduces them.
Norma Lindaburgh; Steve Coulter, Assemblyman and UNR professor of
journalism, discussed the role of local state and national programs dealing with
child abuse with Charles Springer, Juvenile Court Master of Washoe County,
and Dr. Robert Tim Benzyl, pediatrician and professor in the School of Public
Health in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota.
Steve Coulter; Doctor, Nevada ranks fourth in the nation per capita on the number of child abuse
cases. In the last two years, the number of child abuse cases have doubled in the
state to over about twenty-two hundred, I believe. Is this indicative of the trend
nationally? Robert Tim Benzyl; Yes, throughout the United States are more and more cases being
reported to child abuse. The latest national data we have, is 1977.
About three quarters of a million children have been reported for suspected child abuse
and neglect and I think the experts, who look at this, say that it is both better
reporting because of laws. There is a considerable amount of data that says
there's more abuse cases because there's more stress on families. Every time the
country goes to a recession, this puts more economic stress and some of that
frustration may come out upon the children. Steve Coulter; Of course, historically, child
abuses is nothing new. It goes back a long time. Robert Tim Benzyl; That's correct. One of my special
interests, is looking at the historical roots, and the last four thousand years,
in Western culture, has been a history, really, of abuse and neglect of children.
We've moved out of an era of infanticide for parents, actually, and condoned by
society, tell their children to return or abandoned. We saw a society respond by
orphanages, care institutions. We've gone through a period of child labor in
this country, that put children to work and finally children got more rights in those
areas, and it's kind of interesting that we're in a current phase, really starting
last hundred years of being aware in society about
abuse and neglect and, particularly, since 1961, when the term "battered child
syndrome" was coined by Dr. Kemp and Denver, kind of brought a lot of public
awareness to the issue. We created, in a way, a new kind of awareness in society
that there was an issue called child abuse in play.
Steve Coulter; Of course, child abuse is not just a problem of the family, it's a social
problem and that's where the court system comes in. Mr. Springer, you are the
Juvenile Court Master in Washoe County. How do you view the situation from your
perspective? Charles Springer; What I see, is a situation that's completely consistent with what Dr.
Tim Benzyl is saying. I'm getting, now, where I can identify children who are
accused of violent crimes before I even read their social history. I know that
these children have been abused. have been neglected. have been consciously
rejected. I think there's one point that is worthy of emphasis and that is, that
we're not necessarily restricting ourselves to physical abuse. Physical
abuse has definite consequences. It teaches violence. It lowers self-esteem.
It makes it difficult for a child to have a trusting relationship with anyone.
It makes them resist authority, but this isn't the only part of it. A
child who is rejected and constantly put down, verbal abuse emotionally abused
children, have pretty much the same type of reaction and, one way of putting it, is
that we know how to create violent criminals in this country and we're
doing a very good job of doing it and I might add this, that we're doing it on an
expanded level, that we seem to be creating more of these children, who in
turn, become parents, who again abuse their children and we have to do
something to interrupt this flow, this cycle and if we don't, we're going to have more
serious social problems than we have now. Steve Coulter; One of the interesting statistics, it's
come up in hearings before the Nevada legislative subcommittee studying child
abuse, is it there is an increased frequency of parents being abused by the
children. They abused their children when they were very young, the children grow
up to become teenagers and end up abusing the parents and I think there's
a statistic, like two thousand parents each year are killed by their own children. Charles Spring; They've
learned violence, the old expression, the father saying to his ten-year-old son,
I'll teach you to beat up on your six-year-old brother. Well, that's exactly what
he's doing, is teaching violence and I think, from my perspective, this type of
violence, I'm talking about excessive abuse, physically and emotionally. I am
seeing a lot more of it than I would have thought was present, had I not had
the opportunity to be sitting on the juvenile court. Robert Tim Benzyl; I think our dimensions of
it are changing constantly, which is confusing to the lay public, is that we
have a [inaudible] called child abuse, which is now related to the whole question of
battered wife syndrome and battered husbands.
People are looking at the elderly, the fact that the elderly can become victims
of abuse or verbal abuse, also, so that we have a widening dimension, now. Some
people call this whole field inter family violence. It takes place in the
family and so the other big issue, is the sexual area. We've talked about long term
outcomes, physically, I think that people, there's a huge toll we take
psychologically. People are starting to correlate one or thirty percent of the population
mentally ill and, again, it goes back to these some of these same factors of
trusting other people, knowing what's right and what's wrong,
how do you behave in a society. They may all have common roots in abuse and
neglect of children. Steve Coulter; And, Nevada, one statistic has come that a hundred and
forty children that are in the two state children's homes, twenty percent of those
have been sexually or physically abused, which would indicate the longest trend.
Charles Springer; I would think the figure would be higher. Steve Coulter; So, what's the solution?
Robert Tim Benzyl; What's the solution? Very tough question. Where I'm coming from, is a public health
approach, that prevention is better than cure. I think that public awareness to
the issues, public discussion of the issues, support services to intervene in
those families that have problems, a society giving people permission to say
I am an abuser. I need help, It's like AA. We have groups called "Parents Anonymous",
or cope. How do we help parents to take advantage of these kind of self-help
groups? How the systems relate. How do social services relate and
I think one of the important things that needs to be mentioned, that most of the
case reports in a community come from friends, relatives, and neighbors. They
know what's going on inside the family, that the Welfare Department. There is a
number you can call if you have a concern and I think that's important to
realize, you know, to bring it out in the open and deal it, same way we dealt with
alcohol. We didn't keep alcohol in the closet, we brought it out, we discussed it,
we developed treatment programs and preventive programs, so I think alcohol
model is a good model to look at for a community and there's a whole wide range
of services that need to be coordinated within the community. Steve Coulter; Saying coming out
of the closet, that's not an easy thing to do. How does a person say, hey I'm a
bad parent. I don't know how to take care of my children and come out publicly.
Robert Tim Benzyl; Well, it's what we did with alcohol. I mean, if you look back fifty years ago, nobody would say
I'm having trouble with alcohol or I'm having any kinds of problems and, we know,
we rounded that corner and I do see parents, now, who do have permission to
say, I've had some difficulty. I think the general society cannot punish parents. I
mean, if we take the attitude of punishing parents, that there's a lot of
professionals, including myself, who say, well how much am I going to report cases
if our physician is not one of support, generally, of support. Now, you cross the
line where the abuse goes bad and there needs to be, you know, further legal
intervention, obviously, in families, but in general, most of the cases of child
abuse and neglect can be handled within the family with good support services.
Steve Coulter; Mr. Springer, how do you see a problem? Charles Springer; Well, I see I would trace a lot of this to
ignorance on the part of parents, of the terrible toll that's being taken by the
abuse of children and not only are we creating criminals, we're creating a lot
of maladjusted unhappy people and I prefer to think that if a lot of these
parents knew how destructive they were being to their own children, they they
might change. I believe with Dr. Tim Benzyl, first in
prevention by education, by early intervention. I believe that we should
use the mass media, television, maybe simulcast so everyone has to pay
attention, maybe parenting courses, but now, we
finally have the means to know the terrible mistakes that we're making in
child raising and I don't think that this knowledge is being adequately
communicated to the public, and I would like to see at least that done. That's
that's feasible. That doesn't cost a lot of money. Steve Coulter; If you have information dealing
with child abuse in Washoe County, the number to call will be seven eight five
five six one one. That's the Washoe County Welfare Department.
Terrie Nault; Two lectures on November 13th and December 11th also address the topic of child abuse and
they are sponsored by the Center for Religion and Life and the National
Council of Juvenile and Family Court judges. Both lectures will be held at the
Judicial College Building. Bob Rusk; I'm Bob Rusk, Chairman of the Great American Smokeout
November 15. I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Oscar. I think it's quite
obvious that Oscar would never quit. On the other hand, it's my pleasure to
introduce to you the mayors of Reno and Sparks, Mayor's Bennett and Player.
They've agreed to join us November 15th by giving up smoking, signing the pledge,
and throwing their cigarettes out. Won't you the smoking public of Washoe County
consider November 15, throwing out your weed and accepting the challenge of no
more smoking? John Marschall; We hope you join us again, two weeks from this morning, same time,
same place, KOLO TV - Reno. Terrie Nault; John and I wish you a beautiful day.
