Bicycle helmets for kissinger first class

The healthy city network of bad kissingen has set itself the goal of making the living environment and living conditions of the citizens of bad kissingen healthier and of developing the city sustainably into a place of health for all citizens. On this path, the safety and health of the youngest kissingers plays an important role.

At the franz-von prummer school, the handover of the bicycle helmets by oberburgermeister kay blankenburg was incorporated into the advent celebration. To illustrate this, the chairman of lebenshilfe bad kis singen, wolfgang rompf, had pretended to the children that he was riding a donkey with a bicycle helmet. However, he exchanged the helmet at the bad kissingen christmas market for a christmas bonnet, which the children recognized as wrong.

It will be a very hard test of patience

It will be a very hard test of patience

Martin halbig (coach FC fuchsstadt). I am surprised that the break will last so long; but health comes first. Now we have a new, modest situation, because no one really knows how it will go on. The time is getting very long until september. You can’t keep the tension in the team high until then. You have no clear goal in mind. It can only be rebuilt when you know that on day X you will continue. The fairest solution for me would be to play the round to the end, because otherwise the teams at the top of the table will complain. From my point of view, ghost games are not an option. Personally, I am relaxed, have time for other tasks in the private sector.

David bohm (player-coach FC westheim): it’s not easy decisions that the BFV has to make, and this one is understandable because health is paramount. However, it is difficult for players and coaches to keep the tension high until the end of august and one should consider whether to start the second half of the season again or whether to cancel the season and start again. The BFV had to position itself promptly and initiate steps so that the clubs can plan. For the FC westheim is megaschade that the kreispokalfinale against rodelmaier on the 1. May is canceled and therefore also our rough may festival is canceled.

The appeal of politics appeals to barbara becker

The appeal of politics appeals to barbara becker

She would give up everything. At least all that she has built up professionally. Barbara becker would "very, very much like" to become a member of the state parliament. "The stimulus is really rough," confesses the 47-year-old from wiesenbronn.

She had her first experience with politics when she was 17 years old. At that time still on the other side. Becker has been active in the protestant rural youth movement and was already state chairwoman at the age of 17. She was fascinated by the behind-the-scenes discussions with politicians, but also by the struggle for compromises behind the doors – and the subsequent presentation of the results. "You still have to present the compromise you have found as your own result."

Two olympic champions compete in Lower Franconia

The pferdefreunde lindenhof hambach mastered a major challenge by organizing the international eventing tournament and the bavarian championships for juniors/young riders. When even olympic, world and european champion michael jung, who won the two international competitions, praises the event, it's like a knighthood for the organizers.

"I am the michi", imagines the professional, with a baseball cap on his head and leaning relaxed on a landing jump. Sympathetic. "It was just a good time to offer a one-star and two-star test here. I think it is the first time that I am here in this area to ride", explains the 31-year-old.

Small sting, big help

Small sting, big help

In 2013, more than eight times as many measles cases were reported in bavaria as in the previous year. Also in the district of kitzingen two cases have already been detected since the beginning of april. Although a vaccine against measles has been available for 40 years, the disease has not yet been fully contained.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, on average one in 1000 measles cases in germany is fatal. This is also confirmed by the latest research by the university of wurzburg and the bavarian state office for health and food safety. The risk of fatal complications following infection is particularly high among young children. In contrast, the possible side effects of vaccination are negligible. "There may be isolated cases of rash or fever, but I have not experienced anything worse", says dr. Anna burcky, doctor of pediatrics and adolescent medicine in ochsenfurt, germany.
Dr. Benedikt weibbrich, a researcher at the institute of virology and immunobiology at the university of wurzburg, is working intensively on the topic of late complications of measles infections. "Since only a few cases of measles still occur, people are often no longer aware of the dangers of the disease," says marie-luise tisch, he regrets.
