New safety vests for kindergartens

When it gets dark outside, children are particularly at risk. Also on the way to kindergarten or when you go home. Although they usually do this accompanied by their parents or grandparents, they should still wear safety vests.

Otherwise, it can quickly lead to bad accidents. That’s why the kindergartens are helped now. The children of all day-care centers with corresponding needs can now fall back on the widely illuminated safety vests with reflective materials provided by Raiffeisenbank Kaarst together with Volksbank Düsseldorf-Neuss. Representing all kindergartens, a small delegation of the kindergarten has taken the vest in Kaarst town hall. These children are allowed to take home with them to be able to put them on their way to kindergarten in the morning. “We will also use you for excursions. It’s great that we can now spend new vests, “said Kita director Nathalie happily at the handover by Raiffeisenbank board member Martin Amman.

The kindergarten also has a great need. “We could use 25 more vests,” says director Stefanie Schneider: “We got a few vests through the ADAC, but are also registered for this action,” says Schneider on request of our editors. It assumes that the responsible employee of the Youth Welfare Office will bring in the West in the coming days. The vest with reflective tape for the daycare center on the buzzard road is ready for pickup in the city hall, as a spokeswoman said on Montage. The second establishment of the family center Kaarst, sufficient safety vests is available. “We currently have two groups of West available, which is enough,” says a spokeswoman.

Will Donald Trump move Halloween?

In any case, it is the wish already made by thousands of Americans through a petition.

In France as in a number of European countries, it is possible to celebrate Halloween without worrying too much about bedtime. The party is set for October 31, the eve of All Saints, a large part of the population can enjoy this holiday to recover from his evening.

In the United States, November 1 is not a holiday, which seems to be a problem for a growing number of citizens across the country. As a matter of fact, a petition is circulating to ask that the Halloween date is officially moved. At the time of writing, more than 16,000 people have signed to have Pumpkin Day and Michael Myers celebrate on the last Saturday in October.

Safer children

These are primarily safety reasons that are advanced by the authors and others of the petition. In the text, more than 3,800 children who without wearing reflective materials are injured each year as part of their night sweets hunt. If accidents are so numerous, it is because 70% of parents do not accompany their children during their trip, but also because 65% would not have discussions with their offspring to the safety rules. Respect. Figures whose source was not provided by the petitioners.

No flashlight, no reflective tape, no reflective vest: most kids would walk in complete darkness until hours, at the risk of being run over by motorists or falling victim to fall. However, according to the group at the origin of the petition, this lack of security would be due in large part to the low mobilization of parents, who work the next day and therefore do not make themselves available enough for their children.

The authors’ theory is that placing Halloween on a Saturday would make the party more family-friendly, allowing parents and children to celebrate together, or in any case to pay more attention. In addition, some of the children would probably have the right to sleep later if Halloween was a Saturday, which would be total to their advantage.

Still, it seems difficult to move a party celebrated on the same date around the world. Addressed to Donald Trump, the petition should not be among the priorities of the US president, even if we can expect anything and everything until the end of his term.

Reminder of safety instructions

Police want to remind parents and kids of safety tips on Wednesday night to collect Halloween candies.

To ensure that children are clearly visible when traveling, it is advisable to choose reflective clothing with reflective tape. The costume should be short to prevent the child from stumbling and it is better to wear makeup rather than wearing a mask to see and hear well. It is also recommended to bring a flashlight.

During the evening, children should always:

Determine a trip and an hour of return with their parents;

Rest in a group or with the accompanying adult;

Never enter the houses, always wait outside;

Never follow a stranger, whether by car or on foot, refusing to approach a vehicle or to go up without the permission of his parents;

Browse one side of the street at a time and avoid crossing unnecessarily;

Cross streets at intersections and respect road signs;

Wear a reflective vest when go out at night;

Check with your parents the treats received to make sure you can eat them safely.

Finally, the police and the assurance automobile du Québec are asking for the cooperation of motorists who will have to be particularly careful and vigilant.

Is this the lightest Gore-Tex cycling jacket in the world?

The Canadian brand chose Gore’s new Active Gore-Tex fabric, which uses a waterproof, breathable membrane on the outside, bonded to a protective inner liner. This new fabric has already been used for the Gore One jacket (>100g for a size medium), and the jacket (123g for a large) – but it’s lighter than both.

 

It’s also considerably lighter than jackets made from older three-ply Gore-Tex fabrics, which are made by sandwiching the waterproof, breathable membrane between a protective inner and water-repellant outer. These typically weigh upwards of 200g for a similar roadie-focused, pared-down garment, although they are more durable thanks to the outer fabric.

 

So how did 7mesh manage to beat even Gore on the scales? Well, the design team included jacket elements that serve multiple purposes where possible so, for example, the vents also double up as pass through for jersey pockets, and the stuff sack doubles as an essentials pocket when the jacket is being worn.

 

7mesh also managed to reduce the amount of fabric needed to make the jacket, with smaller teams, a reinforced raw edge hem, tight pattern tolerance and custom welded zippers all helping to shave off a few grams. It still gets elasticized cuffs and 360-degree reflective tape, for nighttime visibility.

Chemical protection and high visibility

The suit combines protection against chemicals, infectious agents and airborne solid particles with high visibility.

 

It consists of fluorescent orange material with silver reflective tapes. It fulfills the requirements of EN ISO 20471: 2013 for high visibility clothing.

 

As protective clothing with a limited service life, this suit is disposed of directly after contamination or heavy soiling. In contrast, reusable clothing must be costly cleaned and treated accordingly, so that their properties even after washing nor meet the requirements of the standard.

 

The suit is always available to employees new protective clothing whose fluorescent and reflective materials are completely intact. Typical applications are activities in hazardous environments in poor visibility and weather conditions, such as in the railway sector, in mining, in waste disposal, and in road construction.

Yellow vests were made for Heart Hangers

While the Angevin festival is fast approaching, the time has come to dress in its most beautiful coat of light. And this year, it will be necessary to respect the theme of the building sites. Head to the Grand Theater to customize a yellow reflective vest.

 

Plumbing pipes, duct tape, pieces of cardboard, orange fabric… and of course, the famous yellow construction vest. Since August 28, when we go to the first floor of the Grand Theater of Angers, the room seems to have turned into a real fashion workshop.

 

Because to stick to the theme of the yards of Heartbeats, 7, 8 and 9 September, it will be necessary to dress accordingly. The yellow vest obliges. And to set herself apart from others, Caroline de Pommereau, a set designer, provides daily advice to participants in the dress code workshops between 2 pm and 6 pm “I imagined a place where you can create, cut … not just customize your yellow vest. ”

 

In the vast hall of the Grand Theater, busts of models are covered with the artist’s creations. There a woman’s bust with epaulettes and a puff skirt in orange paper. Here a man’s bust with ribbon tape for red and white plastic work. Tuesday, August 28, for the first session of the season, about twenty people have been busy making their dress of light, they will wear during the Angevin festival.

 

As soon as I arrive, I immediately warn the designer. I do not have the soul of an artist. Caroline de Pommereau advises me to cut the two edges of the vest at the waist, the latter being too wide for me. Seeing the yellow vest transformed into a dress mentioned above, I start making a skirt. I search through all the objects and fabrics offered and decide on a burgundy colored paper and a white and red plastic ribbon.

 

A felt paper sign

With the paper and with a stapler and a pair of scissors, I make a skirt, which I hang on the yellow high visibility vest. Then, I cut the paper to make fringes. I then make a belt. Result: I am not really convinced. I look at a girl next to me. She makes a traffic sign with red and black felt paper, and it’s really very successful. “I wanted to do a lot of them, but when I see how long it takes, I think I’ll do just one,” she says.

 

Next to 15-year-old Leonora, her brother Constant explains that he is making “a belt with small beige plastic tubes”. At the other end of the room, 9-year-old Louis turns his yellow vest into a SCO jersey, with his name written with reflective tape and a logo of the football team.

 

Little by little, participants leave the room, yellow vest in hand, ready to parade with. Those who only have their daily clothes in their closets can still register, and why not, become the most beautiful or the most beautiful heart-catchers.

 

Heroes in safety vests

Safety vests are helpful – but also cool? Some first graders find: no. You should take a look at bikers!

 

Safety vests – are not they a blessing invention? In bright red, reflective green or neon yellow and some reflective materials, they help to make sure road workers are more reliably recognized, and garbage collectors can change the side of the road more calmly. Railway workers are not allowed to go to the tracks without the eye-catcher. There is even severely separated: green is the security service. Red are the ones who are walking. Equally struggling runners look out, scurrying through the woods and meadows dressed in signal colors in the darkness that is now breaking in, in order to catch the attention of road users on the way there. And – little look back at the summer holidays – woe, you get caught on the road in Italy without the airy clothes. For every human, a neon top must be on board. In short, once the warning vest had a little the nastiness of the proletariat, today it is part of everyday life, almost like the house key and wallet.

 

Not everyone will find the safety vest cool

But what did you hear recently at the presentation of the new school plan? If the first graders were initially proud of the vest, which was equipped to start school, “specialists” would leave them home after just a few days. This was reported by the managing director Karl. After all, a real guy did not want to “come out” as a freshman. “I can only confirm that,” says Mayor, father of three school-age boys.

 

So ends the project of the ADAC Foundation, which wanted to set the security action “Accents with foresight”. Father jogs through the village with his vest, his mother rides to work, the offspring make you cool. Since all the dunning helps nothing. But wait, what is it doing around the corner? A chrome-gleaming motorcycle with a rich sound, the handlebars as high as if the stars were to be taken from the sky and with wheels like rubber rollers. The biker wears over the black leather air: a safety vest with reflective tapes. And if that is not a real guy!

Why do you have to dress like a construction manager

Welcome to a world where the orange reflective vest, the sanitary hood and the safety shoe play it “survival solutions” in urban jungle.

 

Three options are available for the podium pillar to prepare for the advent of the post-human – an allegory of an uncertain future that everyone, the baroque demiurge way Alessandro Michele to the minimalist convinced trend JW Anderson, dreads.

 

First: to enter fashion orders and to wander in this very closed circle in a dress of bure and bare-feet of tourism.

 

Secondly, put on his gadget glasses and his amphibian suit, and finally be the trunk on the wings of a cyborg – dragon, chameleon or humanoid with three eyes.

 

Tertio: sign for life in the secondary sector and get the services of the house uniform: parka and pants with reflective tapes, helmet (or hood) and

Safety shoes, all carved in traffic light colors – green, yellow, red and ripe orange.

 

No less doubtful aesthetically but much more prophetically than the DHL t-shirt collective released in 2016, this is the option chosen this season by Simons, anxious to denounce the reign of fake news and prepare for the reign of an all-powerful AI, dresses the woman and man Calvin Klein in a high security uniform, between the construction engineer and the firefighter of New

 

John Galliano at Maison Margiela, Marcia Prada and Christopher Bailey at Burberry apply the same security policy, slipping an orange vest with reflective material under a overcoat, on a mini-dress or changing the parka to a bionic stage, between the garment cosmonaut and sapper, worn with a pencil skirt and sneakers survival blanket.

With safety vests safely to school

The kick-off event of the community campaign “Safe to school – safe home” was filled on Thursday at the Jean Paul School. The school district hosted this event for new school children and their parents.

 

The beginning of school is an exciting event especially for the first-graders and their parents, said school director Owe villages. The action “Safe to school – safe home” exist since 1969 and has been an important concern since that time, all at the beginning of the school year, because it is about the safety on the way to school. For decades, various measures and police protection have ensured that all students come to school unscathed, emphasized Dormer. But the school also made an important contribution to the exploration of the school environment, said the school director – even if there is no complete security, said Droller to consider.

 

In Upper Franconia, 8584 first graders were enrolled, 3.5 percent more than in the previous year, said government vice-president Thomas Engel. Many parents remembered their own school days and whether their children could get along with the teacher or get used to school. But what can one do so that nothing happens to the children on the way to school? Engel pointed out that a whole network of Upper Franconia cares about the safety on the way to school. Professional helpers, such as the police, but also many volunteers, institutions such as the VR-Bank or companies that provide financial resources, care about the safety of the youngest.

 

“Children learn from their parents”

 

Traffic education started very early and the children first learned from their parents, Engel said. “Children see parents as role models”. And this role model of the parents is just in demand at the beginning of the school year. Safety is not just a task of the parents, but a common task.

 

Cobourg’s second mayor, Birgit Weber, recalled her own school enrollment in 1969 at the elementary school. Exactly this year, the campaign “Safe to school – safe home” was launched. At that time, the first years were equipped with yellow caps. In the classroom there was the subject of traffic education and in school the bicycle license was made. Since that time, a lot has happened and today the children would be equipped with throws the traffic guard and reflective vests of the ADAC.

 

 

Too many accidents

The time of starting school was a very intense time for the police, said police commissioner Thomas. For several weeks every day, several dozen school trips would be carried out, and that would be as intensive as possible. His colleagues would love to do that and pay attention to the safety of the weakest traffic participants. Last year, 32 000 traffic accidents involving 5300 wounded and 57 fatalities were recorded in Upper Franconia. But there were also school-leaving accidents, with 44 students injured and eight of them were seriously injured. This figure, according to Thomas, is too high and the police are trying to minimize it. Motorists often did not give the first-graders the necessary attention. In the area of the police headquarters Upper Franconia, there are 1645 school helpers, 745 school students, 117 school bus attendants and 511 school bus drivers, reported the police council.

 

Distribute over 1000 throws

The first-graders are the weakest road users in traffic, Sebastian said in his capacity as the second chairman of the watch tower. Over 1000 reflective tapes have been distributed in the city and in the district. Sebastian directed his appeal to the parents to ensure that children carry these throw consistently, because especially in the dark season, the recognizability is particularly important.

 

In the 2018/2019 school year, 1062 pupils, including 323 in the city and 739 in the district of Cobourg, begin their school life. The kick-off event was musically designed by Neil Stefano and Noelle from the Music School.
