Don't think of a white bear.
Are you thinking of a white bear? Stop. Don't think of them.
Not to sound too much like the Verizon guy, but how about know? Still thinking of a white bear?
Ahhh, the power of a mental image. So what does this have to do with Perspective No. 6? (As you may recall from last week, this is a six-part series.) And why am I jumping past numbers 2 through 5? Because there are powerful reasons to evoke negative mental images in your copy, and equally powerful reasons not to — and they both involve the persistent power of white bears, er… negative images, that is.
Oh, and because Perspectives 2 and 3 provide the answers to this problem.
In his Monday Morning Memo of December 4, 2006, Roy Williams wrote that:
Happiness rarely triggers commerce. Unhappiness often does.
Purchases are triggered by dissatisfaction with the way things are. We purchase when we have a need, a desire, an itch to scratch. We want to change our condition, our surroundings, our state of mind. We buy because we are dissatisfied…
…To increase your sales volume, you must identify the dissatisfaction that lurks in the heart of your customer.
And then you must shine your flashlight of words into that darkness…
This would seem to be a powerful reason to evoke negative images in your copy: remind the buyers of the itch, then present your solution as the ideal way to scratch that itch, right? Aye, there's the rub…
Like white bears or WMDs, negative images persist. And it's somehow easier to create powerful negative images than it is to produce powerful positive images.
Emotionally speaking, worries trump daydreams.
Worse, most copywriters create a powerful negative image and then try to counter it with a logical or syntactical argument. Which is kind of like letting a skunk loose at work and trying to keep the smell away from your desk with a cubicle partition.
As an example, a copywriter just can't get away with something like:
"Having trouble getting to a second or third date? It could be your facial acne – now you can get rid of painful acne with Wonder-X!"
What do you think is going to be associated with Wonder-X: the cure, or the painful emotions stirred up by the copy?
Dismissing a logical argument from the mind is all too easy. It's why rationalizations work. The good angel on your shoulder gnashes his teeth at that all too often, doesn't he? Mine sure does.
But a powerful mental image is almost impossible to dismiss.
So, does that mean you should always go with gain over pain? With positive mental images rather than negative? Frankly, no. It means:
In fact, psychologists have done research on white bears (really!), and the only way not to think of a white bear is to consciously think of something else. As the copywriter, you must provide something else that's sticky enough to effortlessly displace the negative image you created.
How do you do that? Well, you have 3 choices:
And how do you modulate an image's intensity and vividness? With perspectives 2 and 3. But that's for another post…
Catch me next week when I show how it's done.

Great topic! We had debated at our fitness equipment company whether or not to use negative images (pictures of fat people), your article really helped with that… the only way to counter a picture of a fat person is with a gorgeous fitness model- something people see everywhere, so it would not be powerful enough to counter the "white bear" (fat image), and therefore a bad idea…am I right?
Great article. I will surely refer to it when I'm copywriting in the future.
One thing: "Not to sound too much like the Verizon guy, but how about know?"
Surely you mean "now" correct?
[...] note: Fans of Copy Perspective Monday may notice that the would-be final installment, #6, came before #5. To understand the madness to his method — or is that the other way around? [...]
What about outlining features that a product DOES NOT have? Assuming you have a target audience that you know will consider these missing features a definite benefit. For instance, 35mm camera manufacturer marketing to parents of young beginning photographers as well as Seniors who are not sold on digital photography. "No complicated menus" and "No computer required". Would this be considered a negative?
Thanks for your help.
Hi Jeff – my mom is 87 and still very much on her own, but every time I think about that it has been a while since I called (or visited), I STILL recall an old AT&T ad that shows a mom (my mom?) sitting there alone, looking at the phone, hoping her son will call. Rats — that ad is probably over ten years old, and it STILL gives me the big-time guilties.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think Pain is probably too broad of a term. What normally hurts copy is the use of fear or sadness. These are depressive emotions that hinder action on the part of your reader. But anger and guilt or disgust do the opposite – they lead to a strong bias for action. Plus the intensity of these emotions make them highly memorable (as you've experienced with the AT&T ad).
What I find with a lot of very successful pain-based copy is that it normally breaks down into surprise + anger or surprise + disgust and almost never fear or sadness.
Hope that helps
- Jeff

I am really very musk impressed with this great article. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with the fact that often negative images often encourage ation.However, the key is to do this in a way that shows empathy and understanding. everything has to be thought of from a customer/client viewpoint, and often sitting down and writing a diary of a typical day of a customer helps with this.
So as a Personal Trainer I empathise (in copy) with the fact that it's common for people to find it difficult to motivate themselves and that they are not alone.
Anyway, great article that gets you thinking about how best to engage with potential customers.
we often see the use of negative images to 'stop' us buying a product these days e.g. cigarette packets, ut using negative images to make us buy is a difficult route to go down.

The pen drive was invented in the year 1998 by IBM, with the intention of replacing the floppy drive in its ThinkPad line of products. The first flash drive was manufactured by M-systems under contract with IBM and was called the ?disgo?. The disgo came in various sizes; 8MB, 16MB, 32MB and 64MB. Following the launch of disgo, a number of pen drives of different sizes, types and brands started surfacing in the market. Flash drives usually consist of a male type-A USB connector that connects to the computer, USB mass storage controller that provides seamless user interface, NAND flash memory chip that stores the data and Crystal Oscillator that controls the device's data output. Some pen drives have additional components such as Jumpers, LEDs, Write-protect switches, USB connector Cap, etc. Flash drives are available in different designs, dimensions and cases. Modern pen drives have USB 2.0 connectivity and have large storage capacities. Popular manufacturers of pen drives include compa ...moreAnswered by Jack Johnson, 13 Nov '09 01:35 am

The dividend yield on the S&P 500 has been declining throughout 2009, amidst one of the worst years for dividends since 1955. Back in late 2008 and early 2009, yields on major market indices exceeded 3%. Currently the dividend yield on the S&P 500 is 1.70%. However, if we remove the negative yield effect of non-dividend payers in the index, the dividend yield increases to 2.30%.
In order to be flexible in this market and not limit myself only to higher yielding stocks with disappointing dividend growth prospects, I am considering lowering my entry yield criteria to 2.50%, down from the 3% which was in effect since the end of 2008. As long as the selected companies for purchase have long histories of consistent dividend raises in addition to having good prospects for future dividend growth, my yield on cost would keep on increasing over time.
The screening criteria applied toward the S&P Dividend Aristocrat index was:
1) Current yield of at least 2.50%
2) Dividend payout ratio no higher than 60%
3) Price/Earnings Ratio of not more than 20
4) 25 years or more of consecutive dividend increases
These investment ideas are only the beginning blocks of a sustainable dividend portfolio. Investors should strive to maintain a dividend portfolio consisting of at least 30 individual securities representative of as many sectors as possible. The process of building a dividend portfolio is long, as it takes time to find enough qualified candidates for further research. As a result investors should consistently apply their screening method under all market conditions, in order to take advantage of market opportunities, and include enough of the best rising dividend stars available.

Good list.ReplyDelete
CINF is one in particular that I've been looking at lately. I decided to go with HGIC instead (another insurer), as I liked their conservative collection of assets, but most importantly because while their dividend yield is lower than CINF, their recent increase was much larger. CINF still looks pretty good to me, though.

Great list, thanks! Several of those were on my watch list... all of them now are.ReplyDelete
It would of been nice to own these from the start of their dividend spree... That being said, have you ever given a thought to searching out companies who've recently (<5yrs) started paying dividends with a steady payout ratio? The future is impossible to predict but with a long term focus finding these needles in the haystack might payoff in spades. Thoughts? SBUX seems like a contender to me...

Excellent list. One cautionary note: it has been more than a year since last LLY increased their dividend.ReplyDelete
This list is just for illustrative purposes only.ReplyDelete
KO was not included because its payout ratio was a little bit above 60%. I guess using mechanical rules does have its short comings. Other than that I do find KO to be a great company.
LLY is a little bit questionable, as it failed to boost distributions in December. I am not comfortable holding on to pharmaceuticals right now, as most face steep patent expirations cliffs over the next 2-4 years. Most pharma companies are growing through acquisitions, not through R&D discoveries.
I've had my eyes on pepsi for a while now. Not only am I total soda fiend myself, but their stock looked incredibly conservative. Fantastic for a dividend growth approach.ReplyDelete

Before you rush out and get your unlimited, 10 quid all you can eat deal, be made aware that GG are currently having an open consultation the net result of which is that the tenner deal will be restricted to 750MB data monthly. Should still be unlimited for 13 quid though. Rather more worryingly so far as I am concerned, they are promising to improve their tether detection which means that my poor Nexus 7 could be left out in the cold on those long bus rides into work. VPN might be the only way to go.

MADISON, Wis. -- The 2012 Wisconsin Football Spring Game presented by Culver's will be held Saturday, April 28. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. at Camp Randall Stadium, UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez announced Wednesday.
Tickets are $5 and are on sale now. Proceeds will benefit the UW Center for Nonprofits in the UW School of Human Ecology.
Money raised through ticket sales will specifically help fund student internships for UW students within nonprofit organizations. While demand for student interns is significant and growing, many nonprofit organizations do not have the financial capacity to support students (stipends, travel expenses, etc.).
The fund developed from the ticket sales at the game will launch a program to place UW students in nonprofit organizations, providing the students with critical practicum experiences while also benefitting the exponentially expanding nonprofit sector with next-generation talent.
Preceeding the game will be the annual Crazylegs Classic. The 8K run and two-mile walk get underway at 10 a.m. at the Capitol Square and finish inside Camp Randall Stadium. Registration for the Crazylegs Classic is now open.

text: Reports: Holder Knew of Petraeus's Affair for Months Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 12 Nov 2012 post a comment Reports claim that Attorney General Eric Holder learned of the investigation into CIA Director David Petraeus' affair with Paula Broadwell during the summer of 2012 but said nothing. Allegedly, Holder and the rest of the DOJ, including the FBI, sat on the news of the affair until election day, when officials finally informed Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Clapper, in turn, immediately asked Petraeus to resign. These reports only give rise to new questions regarding Holder, who is already in the hot seat over Operation Fast and Furious. Scrutiny of the controversial AG could now focus on whether he contributed to a cover-up intended to put Obama's re-election above everything else. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) commented: "The FBI has a lot of explaining to do, and so does the White House. I have a hard time accepting most of the story we've heard so far. It doesn't add up."

November 25, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - California's high court has ruled that hosts who charge admission to parties may be held legally responsible if a drunken underage guest is hurt or injures someone else.
The state Supreme Court said in the unanimous ruling Monday that a cover charge amounts to a sale of alcohol, and state law creates liability for those who sell alcohol to obviously intoxicated minors.
The case stems from a 2007 party organized by then-20-year-old Jessica Manosa at a rental home owned by her parents. Nineteen-year-old Andrew Ennabe died after being hit outside the home by a car driven by another man who had been asked to leave the gathering.
Ennabe's family sought to hold Manosa liable for his death, through her parents and their homeowners insurance.
Manosa's attorney declined to comment.

Rep. Hank Johnson, who's probably most famous for his concern about the island of Guam tipping over due to large numbers of military personnel on the island, has made a statement that's not as glaringly dumb…but it's not far behind when you look at the numbers. You see, Johnson was talking about Republican efforts to take a long, hard look at environmental regulations that they claim has caused increases in energy costs as well as the corollary impact on business.
"Since 1970, the Clean Air Act has reduced toxic and health-threatening air pollution by 60 percent while our economy has grown more than 200 percent," Johnson said, and he's essentially right. PolitiFact took a look and found that his numbers are essentially dead on. So what's the problem? Well, only that it looks like growth was better before the Clean Air Act.
Johnson's statement seems to imply that the Clean Air Act did not hurt the economy or even helped it. Wallace wasn't sure a direct correlation can be made.
She researched GDP 10 years before the Clean Air Act passed and the 40 years since and concluded that the average annual growth was greater before 1970. "It's kind of difficult to say it's directly related," Wallace told us.

When I was little, my mom would yell for my sister and I to run outside and watch the sky.
Watch the way it changes, the way it moves, watch what it is about to bring.
There was a stillness, right before it hit
A beauty right before the destruction.
And we would stand and watch, as if we were the storm, and it was just watching.
To be honest, my sister and I always thought my mom was crazy.
Why stand on the tallest hill in town watching the sky?
Getting so close we could kiss the wind.
Why stand on the tallest hill in town, just to feel the heat on our skin?
When I was little, my mom would take my sister and I to a forest preserve, but we would never stay on the path.
Right in the middle of winter, always straying off from the gravel rode.
She had read that Robert Frost poem a bit too many times.
But we always made it right back to the path, with cold noses and breath in the air.
We made it back with a little more adventure.
One night, when my sister and I were young, we turned our living room into a giant fort. Tent and all.
Blankets and pillows and cushions from the couch created our castle.
We sat in there, enticed by the stories my mom was expressing as the light flashed across her face.
It was raining outside, and so she did what she does best.
Took us right into it.
Our little legs followed as we ran through the field, lollipop in one hand, thunder in the other.
Talk about dancing in the rain. We danced the night away.
The little pitter patter of our excitement as we felt the grass squeeze between our toes with each step
You may ask what kind of mother has her daughters watch a tornado.
You may ask what kind of mother drenches her daughters in the middle of the night to get closer to the rain
My mom taught me about what it means to go after the things that make you feel strong and goofy and a little bit crazy.
Life is not waiting for the storm. Life is being the storm.
Life is an adventure, she taught us.
So go out, don't run from the rain, live in it.

12640 World Plaza Lane, Bldg 71
Fort Myers, FL 33907
(239) 243-8222
Hello… I am a Board Certified physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology and currently provide comprehensive care in the field of Gynecology as well as Cosmetic Medicine at U First Surgery & Gynecology in Fort Myers, Florida.
I received my medical degree at Nova Southeastern College of the Health Sciences in Florida. I then completed my Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Hills, Michigan , an affiliate of Michigan State University. After completing formal training, my husband and I both ran solo practices for 6 years in south Texas, where I served as the Chief of the Ob/Gyn Dept for 2 years. I gained invaluable experience in both my chosen specialty as well as in Aesthetic Medicine. I have a special interest in education and have been a speaker for many venues and audiences ranging from adolescence through menopause. Offering a range of minimally invasive surgical options for women is also an area of strong interest to me.
I am fluent in both Spanish and English. My affiliations with national and local medical associations are many, including the Lee County Medical Society.
I am also the mother of three amazing children, with whom I share all of my heart and much of my challenging schedule!
Upon relocating back to South Florida, I decided to take a leave of absence from medicine this past year to partake wholeheartedly in our latest child's beginning stages of life. I have now come full circle. Having benefitted tremendously from this decision, I am returning to practice rejuvenated and determined to make a difference in our SW Florida community.
This is a necessary exam for all women starting from age 21 (or SOONER if sexually active) and continuing into menopause. This includes patients whom have had a prior hysterectomy or mastectomy.
It will typically include a BREAST EXAM, a PAP SMEAR, a Pelvic exam and a thorough discussion of age-related preventative measures to promote a healthy female lifestyle. It may also include recommended Labs or X-ray studies based upon your age or any findings noted during your exam.
Upon completing your childbearing years, or if children are not an option for you, we may discuss methods of permanent sterilization. I offer procedures which are either hospital-based OR even office-based. Ask about both Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation (small incisions on the abdomen, hospital-based) versus an Intrauterine Tubal Occlusion approach (the ESSURE procedure). Incisions and therefore scars and minimal to none, and down-time from work or home life is very little.
These may be reversible, but that is NOT the intended purpose.
A very common consult is to discuss choices for preventing pregnancy.
Options are many and include oral birth control pills (OCP's), Injections (Depo Provera), upper arm implantable device (IMPLANON), the Vaginal Ring, Barrier Methods and the Intrauterine Device (IUD's- MIRENA & PARAGUARD). Pros & cons are discussed, age-related recommendations are given and life style affects are reviewed thoroughly.
At nearly any age, this can be a serious or even uncomfortable consult and exam – but truly important. This may include simple questions & answers, screening tests, preventative measures (including the HPV VACCINE, Gardasil), and/or medical treatment. This appointment is an important and sensitive matter at any age, and I especially enjoy educating the young adult female population.
This is an area which I fully enjoy being a provider for. There are a variety of physical, psychological and hormonal changes to address.
HORMONE THERAPY, both traditional and Bioidentical, may be in the plan. Most important is that we update any necessary exams/testing, investigate ANY concerning pathology or symptoms and restore a sense of balance to this incredibly important time of your life.
An area of concern for any of us, this is a very common consult. This appointment will include a thorough history and related physical exam, and likely require some labs/Xrays or ultrasound studies, biopsies/D&C or cultures to solve the problem. We will almost always need additional appointments to find our answers and make a treatment plan together.
Depending upon the presence or absence of ANY pathology (FIBROIDS, POLYPS, CANCERCOUS LESIONS) treatments vary.
Options include simple Observation WITH Reevaluation, Medical (Prescriptions to control it like OCP's or LUPRON) AND/OR surgical (major or minor procedures to reduce or stop it). Exciting minor surgical treatments are available even in an office setting, ask about ENDOMETRIAL ABLATION, done inside the uterus via HYSTEROSCOPY with no scars! HYSTERECTOMY is the end option for some, and there are different surgical routes here, too, from Abdominal (Full abdominal incision/scar or Laparoscopic with minimal incisions) to Vaginal (no abdominal incisions). Our treatment options are strongly age-related and are many. The issue is to recognize what is NOT normal, evaluate it thoroughly, and help you to replace your focus off of this disruptive problem and back to your daily life.
Click here for more information regarding Endometrial Ablations.
An extremely common area but one which many do not discuss, this issue causes a negative influence on both our personal lives and our work lives.
We will review the history of your problem and undergo a directed physical exam & testing (labs, urine testing, URODYNAMIC studies to help differentiate types of INCONTINENCE). Treatment options are either non-invasive or minimally invasive and include Pharmacologic (oral medicines), Bladder Training, Vaginal PESSARY placement (device placed vaginally to support a weakened bladder) and/or Bladder/Urethral Support Surgery.
Excellent methods are available to regain control of this area of concern. If surgery is an option, ask about the VAGINAL SLING Procedures which essentially eliminate any leakage!
This problem-related visit evolves from a frequent symptom affecting the relationships, both at work/school AND at home, of multiple women.
Our visit will involve again a thorough history and physical, both lag and Xray studies, and likely return appointments for results or further tests (a second exam, cultures etc). The etiology or reason for your pain will be addressed and it may be purely Gynecological (ENDOMETRIOSIS, OVARIAN CYSTS, PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE, ECTOPIC PREGNANCY) or involve other anatomical sources (your GI tract/Colon, Urinary System, Scar tissue/Adhesions). Occasionally, Emergent Surgery is necessary(Severe pain or Ectopic Pregnancy). Otherwise, at our follow-up, we may simply observe & reevaluate or discuss Pharmacologic Treatments (OCP's, LUPRON Injections, Antiinflammatories, etc) OR Surgical Evaluation/Treatment. Surgical Evaluation will likely be with a LAPAROSCOPY (small abdominal incisions, looking with a camera and treating diseased areas, done in the hospital and mostly outpatient or overnight stay). Further or continued treatments or more involved surgeries are always a possibility. We will educate you regarding your choices and strive for resolution or improvement of your problem yielding a return to peace & productivity in your life.
This procedure, In-office, is offered to correct or improve upon redundant/lax/bothersome tissue of the vagina and/or labia minora. For a variety of reasons, we may have excessive or lax tissue in this area which affects us as individual women in how we feel physically (even causing recurrent vaginal irritations) or psychologically. A minor surgical treatment with limited downtime but beneficial results.
For either young or more mature females, this problem can be a recurrent, frustrating concern affecting daily activities. We will review your history and conduct a directed physical exam, the exam may be limited depending upon the age of the patient. The etiology will be identified immediately or following minimal testing including labs/vaginal cultures.
An infectious source may be identified or other reasons found, like irritants or VAGINAL ATROPHY/DRYNESS. You will then be treated typically with medication and some lifestyle modifications, and be reevaluated to assure that the problem has resolved as planned.
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery, a cutting-edge technique, has gained recent popularity amongst surgeons. This type of surgery utilizes a single umbilical(belly button) incision, placing a device or port through this incision and passing various cannulas via this port to pass a Laparoscopic Camera and surgical instruments. We may perform a variety of Gynecological procedures with this method, including SILS HYSTERECTOMY (removal or uterus +/- ovaries and tubes), SILS OOPHORECTOMY (removal or one or both ovaries) and SILS Treatment of ENDOMETRIOSIS (tissue from the inner uterus which has spilled out into the abdominal cavity causing pain, cysts, scarring, abnormal anatomy). It is coined as Scar-free surgery since there is only one incision which is nearly hidden within the umbilicus. This procedure is NOT for everyone, but a wonderful option for many.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney may have some 'splainin' to do, and to the House Intelligence Committee at that, when the panel kicks off its investigation into claims that the CIA kept information about a covert counterterrorism program secret from Congress for eight years. Rep. Jan Schakowsky announced the probe Friday.
"The House Intelligence Committee will move forward with a full investigation that will explore certain CIA programs and the core issue of how the committee is kept informed," Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), the committee's chairwoman announced in a statement issued Friday evening.
"My subcommittee will take the lead on significant portions of the investigation; we will explore instances where the Congress was not informed in a timely way and situations in which laws may have been broken."

Fired Manchester officer charged in Bedford hit and run to see pension
Pensions continue under the New Hampshire Retirement System, even if a member is arrested and convicted of a crime, said system spokesman Marty Karlon.
But other benefits aren't available. Because Coco didn't retire from his job, he won't be eligible for benefits such as a medical subsidy or survior benefit, Karlon said.
And he will have to wait to get his pension. Coco is 41; no one is eligible for pension benefits until the age of 45, Karlon said.
He had been with the city for 17 years and 8 months before his termination on Monday. Based on his departing annual salary of $84,000, Coco's pension will amount to about $37,100 a year.

DR. WINDSOR DENNIS, age 78, and a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, was sentenced today in federal court by Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle to two (2) years of probation in a health care fraud, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten. As a condition of his probation, the defendant was ordered to spend twelve (12) months in home confinement and to be subject to electronic monitoring. In addition to the term of probation, Judge Lemelle ordered that DR. DENNIS pay restitution in the amount of $750,000.00, a special assessment of $100.00 and to pay a $5,000.00 fine to the United States.
DR. DENNIS, an orthopaedic surgeon who operated a medical practice in New Orleans, Louisiana, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Ivan L. R. Lemelle to one count of health care fraud on March 3, 2010. According to court documents, DR. DENNIS billed the United State Department of Labor, Office of Worker's Compensation, for health care services he claimed he performed after Hurricane Katrina, when his office was not open.
The case was investigated by the Offices of Inspector General for the United States Postal Service and the United States Department of Labor.
The case was being prosecuted by Assistant U. S. Attorney Patrice Harris Sullivan.

I have always been one of those metal heads that claims to listen to all musical genres--except for country.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that there is nothing in the intellect which first does not exist in the senses. She based her method of teaching young children considering the fact that a child between two to six years passes through the 'sensitive period for the refinement of senses' along with the others and they can be helped in the development of the senses while they are in this formative period. In order to serve this purpose Dr. Maria Montessori introduced a subject called 'Sensorial' where the materials are specially designed to enable the children to use their senses to explore different attributes of the world. It is not fully correct to say that Dr. Montessori was the first person to realize the importance of sense training for a child. She was greatly influenced by the ideas of his two predecessors – Jean Itard and Eduoard Seguin. She took the idea of introducing didactic materials and the three period name lessons to the child in Sensorial curriculum from Seguin. In fact, it was Seguin who first followed the scientific method of teaching which was later adopted by Dr. Montessori in a more concise and modified form. She also took the idea of isolating one sense and highlighting it through one presentation from her predecessors.
Though the idea of didactic materials is taken from Seguin, Dr. Montessori modified them based on her observations of the children. By Didactic materials we mean the materials which are self-corrective and by the process of trial and error a child can achieve the end result without much assistance from the adult because of these didactic materials in Sensorial. This is basically known as 'Auto Education'.
All the sensorial materials involve the use of the hands in a
classifying act. For example: visual classification of dimensions. The hand and the mind act together making a mental connection between an abstract idea and its concrete representation. The materials should be simple, direct aim being highlighted and the material is easy to understand. Children use these materials in spontaneous exercises. The sensorial materials are concrete bits of information which can be organized into meaningful patterns. The didactic nature of the material gives the children hands on experience with mathematical concepts. As teachers, we need to understand how children move towards understanding concepts and how different ways of using the materials match children evolving conceptual development.
An object possesses nine qualities as following:
1. Shape
2. Colour
3. Texture
4. Sound
5. Smell
6. Taste
7. Temperature
8. Weight and
9. Size.
By using his all five basic senses i.e. visual sense, tactile sense, auditory sense, gustatory sense, olfactory sense and also using the additional senses like baric sense (sense of weight), thermic sense(sense of temperature) and stereognostic sense (sense of shape and size of an object by holding it with hands) the child explores all the nine qualities of an object but in separate sessions and also with separate materials. For example: a child using his tactile and visual sense explores different dimensions of an object i.e. height, diameter etc. in the presentations like Cylinder Blocks, Pink Tower, Brown Stairs and so on. He explores different intensities of colours using his visual sense in Colour Boxes. His auditory sense is enhanced while exploring different intensities of sound i.e. loud and soft in Sound Cylinders while he can differentiate between tow textures i.e. rough and smooth using his tactile sense in Touch Boards. In Baric Tablets, he gets a clearer perception of weight – light or heavy using his baric sense and so on.
Young children like to explore experiment, tinker and try new things. They like to touch and feel and manipulate objects. They feed their minds through activities. They learn through their senses to satisfy their insatiable appetite for things to do. Dr. Montessori designed her sensorial curriculum area considering these facts. The first of the child's organs to begin functioning are his senses. It is necessary to begin the education of the senses in the formative periods, if we wish to perfect this sense development with the education to be followed. The education of the senses can start from infancy and should continue during the entire formative period to prepare a child for his future.
Sensorial materials not only provide the refinement of sense but it actually prepares the child for many other subjects which the child encounters afterwards. Sensorial activities are indirect preparation for Maths. Because in Sensorial, we deal mainly with different shapes and seizes like what we do in Geometry. There is an excellent way of introducing Geometry to a child at a very tender age by the presentations of Geometry Cabinet, Geometry Solids etc. in every presentation a child thinks logically or compares the materials with other to achieve the final goal. This actually sharpens the comparative study skills and logical thinking of a child. It indirectly prepares a child for Decimal system because most of the materials are ten in number. Sensorial also prepares a child for different aspects of Languages like Adjectives, Opposites and also new words by the three period name lesson given on each material. We prepare a child to write with the presentation of drawing insets and the knobs present in the materials being the thickness of a writing pencil prepares the hand for holding it.
The education of senses makes men observers. The child who has worked with the sensorial materials has not only acquired a greater skill in the use of senses but also guides his exploration of the outside world. The aim of sense training is not only that a child shall know the colours forms and textures but also that he refines his sense through an exercise of attention and through comparison.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Cyclists and people who spend long periods of time in a squatting position may be at greater risk of developing arthritis in their knees, new research shows.
Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, occurs when the cartilage of the joints breaks down, and usually begins after a person reaches middle age. It commonly affects the knees and can be disabling.
To determine whether occupational or leisure-time activities could influence the risk of a person developing the condition, Dr. S. Dahaghin of Tehran Medical University in Iran and colleagues compared 480 people with osteoarthritis of the knee and 490 arthritis-free controls.
People who spent more than 30 minutes daily in a squatting position were at 1.5-fold greater risk of knee osteoarthritis, while people who cycled for more than 30 minutes daily were twice as likely to have osteoarthritis in their knees, the researchers found.
People with jobs that required them to bend their knees for more than half an hour daily were about twice as likely to develop knee osteoarthritis, although the findings were of borderline statistical significance.
Housewives were also more likely than women who worked outside the home to develop knee osteoarthritis.
There was no link between playing sports or working in a non-sedentary occupation and knee osteoarthritis.
The findings support the hypothesis that overuse of a joint can influence arthritis risk, the researchers say.
"Education on preventable risk factors should be considered in order to ensure people use knee joints appropriately and avoid overuse," they conclude.
