Lovely Lavender in my garden, which the bees are enjoying but refusing to be photographed. See the sneaky leaves in the bottom right hand corner? I've got half a dozen cheeky tomato plants that have self seeded from last year, I think thanks to the mild winter.
Finally the perfect pattern for the yarn I bought way back at Christmas. The pattern is here and super easy.
My little apples are getting bigger and bigger!!! It's not like I thought they'd get smaller, I'm just amazed they are surviving!
A little Sunday Treat whose photo refuses to cooperate. Oh! and do you see those lovely floors? The Mister has been hard at work fancying up the place.
Little J has nurtured this amazing sunflower from a tiny seedling he was given on a school field trip. He had no idea what type of plant it would be and I have never seen him take such great care and interest in a plant. Usually I am begging him not to destroy the garden. I have to say the colours of the photograph of this sunflower took my breath away. I'm not sure it looks this good in real life.
A new addition at the Gephart. Of course you'll never guess what this is.....he he he
Yep, I did it again! But honestly, how could I say no? Isn't she beautiful? I really only wanted the cabinet to use as a sewing table, but when I saw the machine I couldn't say no and I think she was $50 well spent. Oh it's a Singer 24 chain stitch machine (no bobbin) from 1911. She came from a gentlemen who lives near Antietam battlefield, but apparently she belong to a very wealthy lady who lived in my town. Her husband owned most of the coal mines in our area and they were very well to do, so the machine is back where it started.
This machine was sold as a domestic and industrial sewing machine AND as a toy machine. It is quite petite.
Oh and the best bit, those drawers weren't empty.
Beautiful Singer tin with the original attachments.
Lovely old buttons. One drawer is overflowing with them. I just love the little card, apparently these are pearl.
The tiniest lace doily I have ever seen - the needles show just how small it is. Loads of needles too, thank goodness as I believe these machine needles, which are tiny, are hard to find.
And of course, the key.
I hope your Sunday is making you smile too!
Toodles...L x ♥

Stress experienced in childhood is associated with an increased risk of developing psychiatric disorders in adulthood. These disorders are particularly characterized by disturbances to emotional and cognitive processes, which are not currently fully modeled in animals. Assays of cognitive bias have recently been used with animals to give an indication of their emotional/cognitive state. We used a cognitive bias test, alongside a traditional measure of anxiety (elevated plus maze), to investigate the effects of juvenile stress (JS) on adulthood behaviour using a rodent model. During the cognitive bias test, animals were trained to discriminate between two reward bowls based on a stimulus (rough/smooth sandpaper) encountered before they reached the bowls. One stimulus (e.g. rough) was associated with a lower value reward than the other (e.g. smooth). Once rats were trained, their cognitive bias was explored through the presentation of an ambiguous stimulus (intermediate grade sandpaper): a rat was classed as optimistic if it chose the bowl ordinarily associated with the high value reward. JS animals were lighter than controls, exhibited increased anxiety-like behaviour in the elevated plus maze and were more optimistic in the cognitive bias test. This increased optimism may represent an optimal foraging strategy for these underweight animals. JS animals were also faster than controls to make a decision when presented with an ambiguous stimulus, suggesting altered decision making. These results demonstrate that stress in the juvenile phase can increase anxiety-like behaviour and alter cognitive bias and decision making in adulthood in a rat model.
Exposure to stressful events early in life increases the risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders later in life [1], [2], [3], [4]. Early life stressors can take a variety of forms and may be experienced in different phases of life (prenatal, early postnatal or juvenile). There is a wealth of information on the effects of stress in the perinatal phase, but comparatively little research on the juvenile phase (the childhood or pre-pubertal phase). The juvenile brain is predicted to be very sensitive to stress, as it is a 'brain in transition', undergoing dramatic changes in structure and function as it matures into an adult brain [5]. Research to date suggests that stress experienced in this phase is of great importance, as it is associated with the development of disorders such as depression, anxiety and PTSD, as well as impulse control disorders and suicide attempts later in life [6], [7], [8]. In animal models, juvenile stress causes lasting changes in the adult animal, increasing anxiety behaviour and altering fear conditioning, learning and memory [9], [10], [11], [12], neural gene expression (e.g. L1 and GABAa receptors [13], [14]), and increasing basal corticosterone levels and reducing neurogenesis in females only [15]. Stress in the juvenile phase also affects the animals as juveniles, remodeling cortical areas involved in emotional-type behaviours [16]. Whilst effects on behaviour are observed when animals are given stress in adulthood, they are significantly exacerbated when stress is given in juvenility [9], [17], indicating that certain changes observed in adulthood are specific to stress in this phase. These findings largely reflect what has been found in human populations, making this a suitable model for human pathologies.
Abnormal mental processing is a central component of human psychiatric disorders, resulting in disturbances in emotional and other affective behaviours. Current behavioural measurements in animal models are relatively simplistic (e.g. elevated plus maze and open field, measures of anxiety-type behaviour that can only be administered once per animal), and are not able to provide information on more complex, subjective aspects of psychiatric illness. Investigating the subjective nature of symptoms is challenging, but progress in this area would greatly enhance the translational aspects of animal models. One way of assessing affective/emotional symptoms in humans is through cognitive bias [18], [19]. The decisions an individual makes in uncertain or ambiguous situations can be influenced by their affective state, producing cognitive biases. Hence cognitive bias demonstrates a close relationship between cognitive processes and emotional state. Cognitive biases in the interpretation of ambiguous information are particularly apparent in anxious and depressed populations, who tend to interpret the emotional valence of ambiguous statements ("That is an interesting pair of shoes you are wearing"), the meaning of ambiguous homophones (e.g. die/dye, pain/pane) and the interpretation of scrambled sentences ('winner born I am a loser)" – positive interpretation "I am a born winner", negative "I am a born loser") in a more negative manner than controls [20], [21]. The link between cognition and emotion is bi-directional, and cognitive biases can be used to predict emotional state [22], [23].
In recent years, assays of cognitive bias have been modified for use in non-human animals, with the aim of using their cognitive biases to inform us of their emotional state [24], [25], [26]. Studies so far have revealed that manipulations associated with negative affect (e.g. unstable housing, removal of environmental enrichment) result in animals interpreting ambiguous stimuli in a negative manner (rats [27], [28], starlings [29], honeybees [30]), and those associated with positive affect (e.g. addition of enrichment) result in positive cognitive biases [31]. Furthermore, negative cognitive biases have been observed in congenitally helpless rats (a genetic model of depression [32]), dogs with separation anxiety [33], and acutely (within hours of testing) induced in rats and chicks through the administration of pharmacological and environmental stressors [32], [34]. Interestingly, the effects of short-term environmental stress on cognitive bias were successfully pharmacologically reversed with the antidepressant imipramine in the chick model [35]. There is therefore a growing body of evidence to support the utility of cognitive bias measurements in assessing state and trait affect in animals.
In human populations, stress in early life is correlated with increased susceptibility to affective disorders and is associated with cognitive biases in adulthood [19], [36]. To date, the effects of early life stress on cognitive biases have not been studied in animal models. Successful implementation of such an assay would enhance the translational aspects of early life stress models, and may provide us with novel therapeutic targets. We therefore investigated how stress experienced in the juvenile phase affected cognitive bias in a rat model, alongside a more traditional measure of anxiety-type behaviour (elevated plus maze). We used male and female rats, as there is evidence for sex-based differences in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders in humans and animal models of perinatal stress [16], [37], [38], [39]. We predicted that animals experiencing juvenile stress would display greater anxiety-type behaviour and react more pessimistically (demonstrating a negative cognitive bias) when compared to control animals.
Subjects were 24 male and 24 female Lister Hooded rats, bred from 11 adult pairs (Charles River, UK) at the University of Edinburgh. After weaning (post natal day (PND) 21), animals were housed in standard, same-sex, same-litter cages (61 cm ×43.5 cm, 21.5 cm high, Techniplast, UK), lined with wood shavings (Lillico, UK), on a 1212 h light/dark cycle with food (standard rat chow, RM1, Special Services Diet, Lillico, UK) and water ad libitum. Temperature and humidity were maintained between 19 and 21°C and 45 and 60% respectively. Six of the litters were assigned at random to the juvenile stress group, the remaining 5 were controls. Rats were identified via rings of permanent marker around the tail, and killed via rising concentration of CO2 at the end of the experiment. Rats were weighed once a week, and all procedures were carried out in strict accordance with local ethics guidelines, the UK Home Office Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and under a personal Home Office license (PIL number 60/10185, PPL number 60/3915).
The protocol used was a modified version of that presented in [14]. Rats were exposed to variable short-term stressors in the juvenile phase, on PND 25, 26 and 27, in a designated experimental room away from the regular housing area. On PND 25, animals were given a swim stress: they were placed into an opaque swim tank (25 cm high, 34 cm diameter, 12 liter capacity filled with 6 liters of water), water temperature 25+/−1°C for 10 minutes. On PND 26, animals were given restraint stress: they were placed into a plastic restraint tube (15 cm length, 5 cm diameter) for 3 periods of 30 minutes, separated by 30 minute breaks. On PND 27, animals experienced mild electric footshocks: they were given 6×0.5 mA, 0.5 s footshocks over 3 minutes (one every 30 seconds) in a rat shock chamber (30 cm ×25 cm, 32 cm high, 16 shock bars, Coulbourn Instruments, PA).
Animals were taken from all litters for testing in the elevated plus maze (2–3 per sex per litter). Animals were housed 2–3 per cage, separated from the rest of the litter at least one week prior to testing. 12 control and 12 juvenile stressed animals were tested, aged 83 days ±11.46 S.D. at the start of testing (early adulthood). All testing was conducted blind to group.
The elevated plus maze was raised 80 cm above the floor, made of wood and painted dark grey, and comprised two open and opposite arms (70 cm ×12 cm) and two closed and opposite arms (70 cm ×12 cm and 17 cm high walls) arranged in a cross shape. A central square connected the arms (10 cm ×10 cm). During a test, an animal was placed on the central square facing an open arm. Behaviour was recorded over 5 minutes via a video recorder mounted above the maze, and tracking software ("Tracker" University of Edinburgh) was used to calculate the amount of time the animal spent in each arm and the centre of the maze. The apparatus was wiped clean between animals. The amount of time animals spent in the open vs. the closed arms (minus time spent on the central square) of the maze was compared. Animals are presumed to be more anxious if they spend a greater proportion of time in the closed compared to the open arms.
The remaining animals (12 control, 12 juvenile stress, 2–3 per litter) were tested in the cognitive bias assay. Animals were housed 2 per cage, separated from the rest of the litter at least one week prior to testing, and were aged 99 days ±12.7 S.D. at the start of testing (early adulthood). A sample size of n=6 per group was sufficient to detect effects in a previous study using this cognitive bias assay [31]. All testing was conducted blind to group.
The maze apparatus consisted of a clear Perspex start box (61 cm ×43.5 cm, 21.5 cm high) connected to a clear Perspex goal box (61 cm ×43.5 cm, 21.5 cm high) via a piece of white Perspex drainpipe (diameter 10 cm, length 80 cm). Two foraging bowls (diameter 9 cm, height 5 cm), one black and one white, one placed on the left and one on the right, were put into the goal box (Figure 1, reproduced from [31]). This apparatus was set up in a designated testing room separate to the housing area, on a bench side (1 m high) with regular room lighting.
The protocol is described in full in [31], and outlined below.
Rats were handled daily for 10 mins each and hand fed the items to be used as rewards in the task (white chocolate drops (chocolate) and Honey Nut Cheerios (Cheerios)) for 5 days. Over the following 5 days, rats were also placed into the maze for 5 mins per day. During this stage, the maze contained the foraging bowls filled with scented sand (either coriander or cinnamon scented, 1% by weight). Each rat had a specific reward paired with a particular bowl colour, sand scent and spatial location (left or right of goal box). This remained consistent for each rat throughout the experiment (e.g. Cheerio reward always in white cinnamon bowl on left, chocolate in black coriander bowl on right), and was randomized between individuals. Pairings were counterbalanced between groups and sexes, but due to the number of possible stimulus combinations, a fully factorial design was not possible. In order to habituate the animals to the presence of sandpaper, during this stage the tunnel connecting the start and goal boxes was lined with Silicon Carbide Waterproof sandpaper (3 M, U.K.; P600 grade), which was different to sandpaper used in later stages of the experiment. In order to facilitate maximal contact (whiskers and feet) between the animal and the sandpaper, the tunnel was completely lined inside.
After habituation, rats were given 5 days of pre-training. They had four trials per day in the maze apparatus, two between 0900 and midday (am trials) and two between 1300 and 1700 hours (pm trials). During a trial, a reward of half a chocolate or Cheerio was put onto the surface of the sand of the appropriate bowl. Cheerios were a low value reward, chocolate high value. As both of these rewards are sweet, and it well known that many mammals, including rats, have a preference for sweet foods [40], it was assumed the rats would forage for them. Rats are expected to value the chocolate more highly than the Cheerio for several reasons: they have a higher sugar content and calorific value (0.4 kcal and 0.07 g sugar in half a Cheerio vs. 3 kcal and 0.34 g sugar per half chocolate drop), they were observed to habituate faster to eating chocolate during the habituation phase (hand feeding), and during all of the reward trials they located chocolate faster than Cheerios (see Results and previous findings in [31]). At the start of a trial rats were placed individually into the start box. A timer was started, and the time for the rat to enter and exit the tunnel, choose a bowl (which bowl was chosen, one containing reward or not) and choose the bowl containing the reward (if not chosen first) was recorded. In this phase, a choice was determined by the rat putting its face into a bowl. A rat received two trials for Cheerios and two for chocolate each day. The order of trials for a rat each day was determined using random numbers, and altered daily. Sandpaper of different grades was used to line the tunnel in this phase. Half of the rats from each group and sex had coarse sandpaper (grade P60, average particulate size 269 μm,) associated with the chocolate reward and fine sandpaper (grade P1200, average particulate size 15 μm; Faithfull Tools, Dartford, Kent, U.K.) associated with the Cheerio reward, the other half the reverse. Rats then learned to associate a particular sandpaper grade in the tunnel with a particular reward outcome, and were able to eventually choose the rewarded bowl first when entering the goal box (e.g. a rat might learn the coarse sandpaper indicated a chocolate reward in the white, cinnamon scented bowl on the left, whereas fine sandpaper meant a Cheerio in the black, coriander scented bowl on the right). The apparatus was cleaned between trials.
Over the next five days, the same protocol was followed, except the rewards were gradually buried further into the sand, until they were at the bottom of the bowl by day five. During this stage, choice was determined when a rat began digging in a particular bowl. Burying the rewards removes visual and olfactory reward cues, ensuring that rats are learning to associate the sandpaper with the reward outcome.
Animals were then moved onto the training stage. Here, the rewards were always buried at the bottom of the bowls. The same protocol as the previous stage was followed, with the exception that one randomly selected trial a day was not rewarded. Correct performance on these trials ensured that rats were not using any cues directly associated with the reward (e.g. olfaction). Rats did not appear to be using reward-related cues, as performance was not affected by presence or absence of reward (see Results). Once rats had completed at least three out of four trials correctly for five days in a row, we assumed they had learned the task, and they were moved onto the next stage. Therefore the duration of this phase was dependent on individual learning.
The next stage was the probe phase, and lasted for five days. In this phase, trials proceed as before, with the alteration that on randomly selected unrewarded " blank" trials, an intermediate, ambiguous grade of sandpaper, intermediate in texture to the two training textures (P180, average particulate size 82 μm), was used instead of the sandpaper usually associated with the reward. During these trials, if rats selected the bowl usually associated with the chocolate reward this was recorded as an optimistic choice, if they chose the bowl usually associated with the Cheerio it was recorded as a pessimistic choice.
Unless otherwise stated, data were analysed using mixed effects ANOVA's (JMP statistical software, SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). All data were checked for homogeneity of variance and normality of distribution. Where these assumptions were violated, data were transformed to provide the best approximation to a normal distribution [41]. Independent variables with no measurable effect on the dependent variable (defined as p>0.1) were removed from models in a stepwise manner. The main effects are provided in the text. Where the underlying assumption of homogeneity associated with the covariance matrix was violated (e.g. in repeated measures models), degrees of freedom were automatically adjusted and may be decimal.
The first model investigated the effect of group (Control vs. JS), sex, age, sex*group, sex*age, group*age and group*age*sex interactions on weight, with animal (nested within group) fitted as a random variable. The second model investigated the effects of group, sex, litter and all two and three-way interactions of these terms on % of time rats spent in the open arms of the elevated plus maze over five minutes. A third model investigated the effect of group, sex and group*sex on number of optimistic choices in the probe phase (ambiguous trials). A chi-squared test was also conducted within groups to determine if rats were making more optimistic choices than expected by chance during the ambiguous trials. A model was set up to investigate the effect of group, sex and group*sex interaction on number of trials taken to learn the cognitive bias test in the training stage. Another model explored the effect of group, sex, trial type (chocolate, cheerio or blank), group*sex, group* trial type, sex* trial type and group*sex*trial type on correct selection of rewarded bowl, with animal (nested in group) added as a random factor. A further model investigated the effect of reward (chocolate vs. cheerio), sex, group, sex*group, sex*reward, reward*group and reward*group*sex interactions on time taken to make a choice in training trials. A final model investigated the effects of group, trial type (regular vs. intermediate, ambiguous trial), sex, group*sex, trial type*sex, trial type*group and trial type*group*sex interactions on time taken to make a choice during the probe stage. It was not possible to use litter as a factor in the cognitive bias analyses as less than three animals per litter were used in some groups. However, at least three litters were used per group, and visual inspection of the data demonstrated that data did not cluster by litter, and this can be seen in Figure 2.
Control animals were significantly heavier than JS animals (F1,8.54=8.76, P=0.02), and this difference occurred from PND 42, two weeks after the administration of juvenile stress. Males were significantly heavier than females (F1,759.4=740.1, P<0.0001), and all animals gained weight as the weeks progressed (F14,503.2=655.9, P<0.0001). A significant sex*age interaction (F14,753.3)=30.83, P<0.0001), demonstrated that males were only heavier than females from PND 42 (Figure 3).
JS animals spent significantly less time on the open arms of the EPM than control animals in both sexes (F1,47=10.64, P=0.002) (Figure 4A).
JS animals made significantly more optimistic choices than control animals (F1,22=4.7, P=0.04) (Figure 4B). Control animals made significantly less optimistic (or significantly more pessimistic) choices than expected by chance (Chi-squared test: X2=5.3, P=0.02), and JS animals made chance levels of optimistic/pessimistic responses (Chi-squared test: X2=0.3, P=0.56) (Figure 4B).
Females learnt the cognitive bias task significantly faster than males (F1,22=10.24, P=0.004), and were less likely to make an incorrect choice during the training stage (F1,24.97=27.2, P<0.0001) (Figure 5A). Overall, control animals took longer to make a choice during this phase than JS animals (F1,22=4.43, P=0.046), and all animals chose faster on chocolate compared to Cheerio trials (F1,23=13.40, P=0.001) (Figure 5B).
Control animals took longer to make a decision during ambiguous probe compared to regular trials, and longer on ambiguous probe trials than JS animals took on both ambiguous probe and regular trials (group*trial type interaction: F1,21=9.83, P=0.005, post-hoc Tukey HSD test) (Figure 6A). Females took longer on ambiguous than regular trials, and longer on ambiguous probe trials than males took on ambiguous probe and regular trials (trial type*sex interaction: F1,21=37.75, P<0.0001, post-hoc Tukey HSD test) (Figure 6B). There was no interaction between sex and group.
Animals that received juvenile stress were lighter than their control counterparts two weeks after the administration of stress (PND 42), and this difference persisted until PND 105. The same pattern has been found in previous juvenile stress studies: in [42] differences persisted until PND 68, and [43] found similar, but shorter term effects. Prenatal and early post natal stress often lead to long lasting decreases in bodyweight in animal models [44], [45], and underlying mechanisms are thought to include decreases in the secretion of essential enzymes for normal cell growth, a reduction in DNA synthesis, abnormal patterns of endocrine secretion, and a suppression of cell responses to growth hormone [46]. Further studies would have to be conducted to determine if the same mechanisms underlie juvenile stress induced reductions in bodyweight.
The EPM was used to assess the effects of JS on anxiety-type behavior. Adults that had experienced JS displayed greater levels of anxiety-like behaviour, as they spent significantly less time than controls in the open arms of the EPM. This confirms what has been found in previous studies [11], [43], and has been specifically related to stress in the juvenile phase [9]. Furthermore, this reflects what is found in human populations, where childhood adversity is strongly associated with the development of anxiety disorders in adulthood [36].
Control animals responded in a pessimistic manner when presented with an ambiguous choice. This supports what has previously been found, and is discussed further in [31]. Animals that had received JS made significantly more optimistic choices than control animals. We predicted that early life stress would result in a more negative cognitive bias, as is observed in depressed and anxious human populations [20], [21]. A possible explanation for the relative increase in optimism found here is that stressed animals were more optimistic, or risk prone, about a high value reward because of their lower body weight. Animals that have been subjected to stress and experienced a subsequent decrease in body weight have been found to increase their risk taking whilst foraging, resulting in increased food intake and compensatory growth [47], [48]. It is possible that the JS rats were employing a similar strategy, and were therefore taking a greater risk for the higher-energy reward when presented with an ambiguous stimulus in the present study. These results may be specific to a foraging context, and it would be interesting to use a cognitive bias task that did not involve food, to determine the generalisability of these results. This result highlights the complications inherent in measuring emotional states in animal models of juvenile stress.
Closer inspection of the data revealed that control animals took longer to choose a reward bowl when presented with an ambiguous stimulus (intermediate grade sandpaper) compared to a stimulus they had been previously trained with (rough or smooth sandpaper), whereas JS animals did not. When an individual has to make a decision or choice between two alternatives, it will sample information from the environment until some threshold of neuronal activity is reached, and then a decision will be made [49]. As the difficulty of a choice task increases, so does neuronal activity, and this correlates with an increased time taken to make a decision [50], [51], [52]. One factor that increases the difficulty of a task and hence reaction time is the discriminability of presented stimuli [51], [53]. In the experiment described here, presenting the animals with an ambiguous stimulus increases the difficulty of the task, and so theoretically the time taken to make a decision. The ambiguous stimulus does not match either of the stimuli the animals have learned to associate with particular reward outcomes; its texture is in between that of both trained stimuli, making it harder to discriminate and match with confidence to either. Based on theory and previous empirical evidence [51], [53], we would predict that animals would sample this ambiguous information for longer, and therefore take longer to make a decision in this situation. Indeed, this is what we find with control animals. However, this process is altered in JS animals, as they make a choice at the same speed in trials with learned and ambiguous stimuli. One interpretation of this is that JS animals are acting impulsively when presented with an ambiguous stimulus. Altered decision making is found in humans with a range of neuropsychiatric disorders, including trait anxiety [54], major depression [55] and in suicidal individuals [56], and adults that have experienced childhood stress are at greater risk of developing impulse control disorders [57].
When presented with an ambiguous stimulus, females from both groups took longer than males to make a choice. Interestingly, there is evidence in the human literature that women are more averse to risk and ambiguity when making decisions [58]. We also found that females learned the cognitive bias task significantly faster than males. The literature on sex differences in learning in rodent models is not straightforward: most studies find no difference, some a male and some a female advantage [59]. It is not clear why females learned the task presented here faster than males.
In conclusion, we found that juvenile stress increases anxiety-like behaviour and decreases decision-making time to ambiguous cues in a rat model. This reflects the affective disturbances and impaired decision making seen in human clinical disorders related to childhood adversity. Future work should be directed at investigating the underlying mechanisms of such behavioural changes, and at assessing potential therapeutic interventions (e.g. environmental enrichment, pharmacological administration), with the aim of improving human medicine.

Skip to comments.We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here
Posted on 01/09/2013 5:09:12 AM PST by expat1000
Ever since FDR made it his campaign song in 1932 while running for office during the Great Depression, the unofficial anthem of the Democratic Party has been that Tin Pan Alley classic, "Happy Days are Here Again." But no matter how often the old Victor spun, it would not be until well after Roosevelt's death that happy days would be here again.
Like Hope and Change, Happy Days are Here Again was a blandly optimistic and non-specific promise that good times were coming. Someday the happy days would arrive, an appropriate enough sentiment for a song whose pivotal moment came in the movie "Chasing Rainbows" where it was sung to reassure a cuckolded husband who is threatening to kill himself. And in an even more appropriate bit of symbolism, the actual movie footage of that moment is as lost as the happy times.
No matter how often the Democratic Party cheats on the American people, it can always break out a new rendition of "Happy Days are Here Again" to win them back. And even if the happy days never seem to actually arrive, the promise of "So long sad times" and "Howdy gay times" where "your troubles and cares are gone" is always a winner.
While the American Democratic Party may not have an official anthem, the British Labour Party does and its anthem, "The Red Flag" would be entirely appropriate for the new Democratic Party that no longer has anything in common with Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson.
It might be awkward to imagine Harry Reid or Joe Manchin trying to make it through verses like, "The people's flag is deepest red" and the sonorous chorus, "Then raise the scarlet standard high /Within its shade we live and die/Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer/We'll keep the red flag flying here."
They would probably look almost as awkward singing it as Labour Party leader Ed Milliband does, but you could easily imagine Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett belting it out. And that would be only right because while The Red Flag never gets around to mentioning Manchester, despite its popularity there, it does namecheck two cities. "In Moscow's vaults its hymns were sung/Chicago swells the surging throng."
These days red flag songs, once mandatory, are confined to all sorts of vaults in Moscow. The new Russian anthem is Putin's redress of the old Soviet one, with lyrics by the same composer. And the Soviet National Anthem, that secular hymn, has a familiar pedigree going back to the Anthem of the Bolshevik Party in 1938, which took its melody from "Life is better, Life is fun."
You might be forgiven for thinking that the Bolshevik Party had borrowed its melody from some Moscow musical, but that wasn't the case. "Life is better, Life is fun" was based on a statement by Stalin: "Life has become better, comrades. Life has become more fun." The year was 1935 and while it is impossible to know whether Comrade Stalin had decided to crib from the Democratic campaign of 1932, the theme was the same. So long sad times. Happy days were here again.
And just to remind everyone that happy days really were here again, Stalin began another round of brutal purges. A year earlier, Uncle Joe, as the Fireside Chatter liked to refer to one of the world's bloodiest mass murderers, had arranged for the murder of Sergei Kirov, who was everything that Stalin wasn't, and used the murder to begin a purge of anyone more popular than him, with the support of red flag wavers in Chicago, New York, London and Los Angeles.
Unlike Franklin, Stalin's idea of a campaign involved a lot of firing squads to properly soak the red flag in the deepest red, while the band played, "Life is better, Life is fun." After the purges were wrapped up, Stalin signed a pact with another red flag waver from Berlin. The Nazis and Communists might have disagreed on any number of things, but both of them had inherited the Jacobin fetish for painting a flag red with blood and then waving it while calling for more death.
While Moscow might have turned in its red card, Chicago's "surging throng" is still swelling the polls, and even though their shirts are purple, their fingers are red from the strain of repeat voting. If there is anywhere in the United States that the red flag has gone on flying, outside of Marin County, it's Chicago. In its shade, generations have lived and died, and now generations have begun living and dying in its shade across the country as the red flag keeps flying for another four years over D.C.
The red flags of the post-modern, post-American, post-British, post-everything revolutionaries aren't usually as obvious as a gang of wealthy politicians staggering to a microphone once a year and belting out, "We'll keep the red flag flying here". It usually sounds more like the parody of that anthem, known somewhat sarcastically as the "Battle Hymn of the New Socialist Party,"
"White collar workers stand and cheer/The Labour government is here/Well change the country bit by bit/So nobody will notice it." A policy of changing the country bit by bit so none of the workers who want their benefits notices that everything else they value is being dragged away to the rubbish heap while they sleep may be sneered at by the real reds, but it's worked quite effectively.
Tony Blair did a masterful job of changing Britain, leaving behind Neil Kinnock's threats to take the workers into the streets if the election did not go his way. (It did not. He did not.) Kinnock proved good enough for Joe Biden to plagiarize his biography from, but the future rested with a sensible left. A New Labour that would talk like technocrats while importing unprecedented number of immigrants to change the electoral balance of the country, so that the red flag would go on flying here, even if it was green and had a crescent and a pair of crossed swords in the middle.
Instead of the flying red flag, Tony Blair's New Labour used D:ream's "Things can only get better" as its election anthem, which despite a title that made it sound like another, "Happy Days are Here" or "Life is better, Life is fun" was more of a love song to a Labour messiah promising to cure "prejudice and greed".
"Walk my path/Wear my shoes/Talk like me/I'll be an angel," New Labour voters were promised and they fell for it. The age of the Me Generation PM was here and the new egotism resounded in lyrics like "Things can only get better/Can only get better/Now I've found you/(That means me)" that took both self-help and self-involvement to a whole new level. But British voters probably should have paid more attention to warning lyrics like, "I sometimes lose myself in me".
Bill Clinton was America's Tony Blair, but with enough Good Old Boy charm to leaven the false earnestness that led so many to hate Blair. If Blair was a liar pretending to be an honest man, Clinton was a liar pretending to be an honest man pretending to be a liar, a rotten sandwich of a paradox that you have to be a politician or an observer of them to properly appreciate. Like Blair, Clinton worked to change the country bit by bit, appealing to white collar workers and leaving the red flag in the trunk next to the road flares and the dynamite.
It's Chicago time now and the red flag is back. Talk of changing the country bit by bit is done. Now the country is being changed aggressively, every change a finger poke in the eye of the people who don't notice right what is in front of their faces. The cuckolding is no longer subtle. It's more out in the open than ever and the country is being bankrupted and the middle class is being wiped out to a rousing chorus of "Happy Days are Here Again", when an entire generation has come of age never knowing a time when happy days prevailed.
Whatever faults Kinnock and old Labour had, losing himself in himself wasn't one of them. But the Baby Boomer and Generation X leaders had the narcissistic habit of doing just that. Clinton and Blair both lost themselves in themselves and since then never appear to have found themselves again. And Barack Obama never lost himself in himself because he never stepped out of himself to begin with.
Obama marries the red flag radicalism of the old left with generational egotism to show us the spoiled brat as leader, the tyke born with a set of silver spoons in his mouth who not only waves the red flag, but who mistakes his shamelessness for political genius. Where Clinton limited his shamelessness to his personal life, for his Democratic successor, in the tradition of both the hard left and the fellowship of mirror gazers, the personal has always been political. To the Hope and Changer, the man is the office, the state is the man, and the whim is the national agenda.
Stalin famously told his mother that he was the new Czar, transmuting collectivist revolution into the egotistical authoritarianism of one man. Obama has managed the same trick, merging revolutionary politics with his own brand until there is no longer a difference between the man and his revolution. FDR only promised happy days, but Obama has become the actual incarnation of hope, which may explain why there is no longer any hope to go around.
There is a flag flying over Washington and it's no longer the stars and stripes, but the same red flag that flies over Chicago. It's the red flag under whose shade misery and tyranny spreads while the band strikes up the same anthem over and over again. "Happy days are here again." Life is better, life is fun." "Things can only get better" and of course Obama's victory speech promise; "The best is yet to come."
It might have been more honest if he had instead admitted, "We'll keep the red flag flying here."
Please put me on this list. Greenfield is a master.
Hmmm...needs editing.
The patriot's flag is striped with red.
It oft has shrouded martyred dead.
And 'ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their blood preserved each treasured fold
So raise the Founders' standard high
Within its shade we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep Old Glory flying here
Outstanding. Please add me to the ping list.
>>Please put me on this list. Greenfield is a master.
Gee, Glock, I thought you were on it already! :-)
Welcome to the Sultan Knish/Daniel Greenfield ping list!
Good read, and spot on.
There you go again luv. =^..^= We're gonna have to stop this double pinging you know ;)
There is a house not far from here where the Soviet flag flew in the front yard every day for the first 2 yrs. after Obama's immaculation.
It went away when the house went up for sale. I can just imagine that discussion with the realtor. "Paint the living room a neutral color, and get that Communist flag out of the yard!"
The 'idealists' of Current TV have had their spoiled brat silver spooned mouths and eyes opened... but they're too few to notice...
You know, the red we want is the red we've got
In the old Red, White and Blue.
It's red, not the wrong red,
And the old flag knows it, too.
We've got a true-blue red flying overhead
Waving free to see us through.
The only red we want is the red we've got
In the old Red, White and Blue.
--Jimmy Kennedy
The Red We Want--Ralph Flanagan (1950)
Years ago, I talked to some Old Timers about that and they said. yeah, they sang that song, with gritted teeth and tears in their eyes.
>>There you go again luv. =^..^= Were gonna have to stop this double pinging you know ;)
Gee, then I won't be receiving any more messages from you - what a pity! It's been a long time since anyone called me 'luv'! Seriously, it's FR, not me.
I believe you luv. =^..^= Your posts have been doubling down for some time now. I didn't want to say anything. Keep 'em coming ;)!

"Fatso" reference degrading, offensive
EDITOR: I believe Lowell Cohn hit a low when he wrote his column on the Giants that appeared last Sunday in The Press Democrat with the headline "Giants need Fatso's bat to carry weight."
The word "fatso" was used seven times in the article.
Lowell even used "fatso" when referring to Pablo Saddoval as the MVP of the 2012 World Series.
Lowell could have stated that Pablo was overweight and his editorial would have been OK. Lowell even states that he is overweight. Since Lowell is a professional in his field I guess calling him "fatso" would be OK.
"Fatso" is a word that offends people and Pablo deserves to be treated like a professional just as much as any person who has a weight problem.
Lowell is probably not going to change since Wednesday in his editorial on the 49ers' win against the Washington Redskins he referred to the Washington team and certain players as "clowns" 13 times.

High school athletes don't need protection
EDITOR: Should sports reporters mention the name of high school athletes who make critical mistakes while competing? They already do: the quarterback who throws a key interception, the running back who fumbles, the linebacker missing a tackle.
Scarred for life? Hardly. Stuff happens in sports as in life.
Regarding the Rancho Cotate center who erred on his snap of the ball in the loss to Cardinal Newman, he was undoubtedly attempting to do his best, which is all he can do. In this particular case he was unsuccessful. He is human.
As long as what a reporter eventually writes is factual and does not elaborate in a purposely demeaning way, of course the young man can be identified.
The real question is whether the lineman's name would have been mentioned had he made a perfect snap of the ball. On previous, successful extra-point attempts had he not played an instrumental role?
High school athletics is an endeavor where young athletes can learn lessons about life. They do not need excessive protection. They require proper guidance, feedback and perspective from coaches and parents dealing with adversity as well as success.
Appropriate, objective, and comprehensive sports reporting is part of the process.

King, coho fishing illegal on Russian
EDITOR: As a fish biologist for the Sonoma County Water Agency, I'm very concerned about the fishing report that was published Tuesday in The Press Democrat. Specifically, the following: " ... there are both kings and coho in the river, since the mouth has been open for 2? weeks ... Remember to release all salmon, and don't mistake an adipose-clipped coho for a steelhead, it will cost you $400."
This implies that it is legal to fish for king (Chinook) and coho in the Russian River. It is not. Both salmon are on the Endangered Species List and it is illegal to fish for them in the river, even using barbless hooks and catching-and-releasing.
Since the mid-1990s, multiple government agencies, nonprofits and private landowners have cumulatively spent millions of dollars on habitat restoration projects and, since 2001, on the state-of-the-art coho broodstock program located at the steelhead hatchery at Lake Sonoma.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Rex Ryan joked that he was "staggered" and "wobbled" by the playful jab Browns coach Eric Mangini fired off about his weight loss on Thursday.
"I think everyone in New York is happy about that," Mangini said of a slimmed-down Ryan, "except maybe Macy's losing one of their floats."
Responding on Friday afternoon, Ryan joked that Mangini's comments caused him to "tear up" because he is "sensitive" about his weight.
"He took a shot at me and it wobbled me," said Ryan, who underwent lap-band surgery in the offseason. "There is no question about it, it staggered me.
"So I've got one message to say to Eric Mangini: You've just made the list buddy."
The days leading up to Sunday's Jets-Browns game have been filled with friendly barbs between Rex Ryan and his twin brother Rob, who is a second-year defensive coordinator for the Browns.
Rex and Rob have traded mock insults all week, culminating with Rex donning a long wig under a Browns cap and putting a pillow under his sweatshirt to imitate Rob while addressing the media on Thursday.
Rex also said he put a bounty on his brother for Sunday's game but joked that he was afraid his players would bounce off of Rob's sizeable belly.
He injected Mangini into the fray when he mentioned that he tried to put a bounty on the ex-Jets head coach "but he's small right now. It would be hard to hit that kind of target."
Mangini, who has shed weight recently, then responded with the Macy's float comment.
"I liked it," a smiling Ryan said. "That was a good one."
Ryan also said he was surprised Mangini doesn't joke around in a public manner more often because "that's the Mangini I know."
The Mangini Jets fans are familiar with was super-secretive.
And he's continued that practice this week in Cleveland.
With Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme back on the practice field, Mangini has yet to announce his starting quarterback for Sunday's game.
Colt McCoy has started the past three games for the Browns (3-5) and is likely to start against the Jets, but Mangini has yet to make it official.
"He could pull a fast one on us if Colt McCoy is not the quarterback," Ryan said. "Because that's who we've prepared as the quarterback. So if he wants to start one of those other kids, go for it."
Ryan smiled when he was asked about Mangini's diversionary tactics.
"That's Mangini being Mangini," he said.

We just attended the Hospice Palliative Care Ontario 2016 Conference in Toronto. Wonderful event with nearly 800 attendees.
Much talk about PAD (Physician Assisted Dying) or MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying). The following day there was an interesting opinion piece in the Globe and Mail by Dr Tom Koch, a gerontologist and ethicist, who provides chronic and palliative consultations. The title of the article, "The next court challenge, the right to better care".
Koch asks the question, "If the Supreme Court decision enshrines choice as a principle of Canadian justice, then what choice are we to be offered? If it is between constant pain and an early death, most of us would prefer the latter. Expert palliative care can mitigate physical suffering in, according to experts, perhaps 95% of all cases. But at present, that level of pain control is unavailable to many Canadians. Without its surety, the choice is limited, if not empty, and justice therefore denied because a real full choices is withheld. Similarly, all agree that end stage home care and hospice care can make the last stage of an illness more than bearable. But many Canadians who would choose this, can not, it is not available. And without its insurance, the choices they are offered to care to the end are limited."

The Sarnia Sting improved to 4-1-1-0 on the season after knocking off the CHL's 7th ranked Kitchener Rangers in a shootout on Friday night. Justin Fazio was stellar in goal once again; turning aside 46 shots in 3+ periods and stopping both shootout attempts to secure the win for the Sting. Fazio was named the game's first star.
Offensively, Nikita Korostelev led the way for the Sting with two goals and one assist. Korostelev now has 6 goals and 9 points in four games played this season. First year centreman, Brady Hinz also picked up three points (1 goal, 2 assists) and now sits in a tie for 2nd in OHL rookie scoring.
The Rangers came out firing in the opening frame, shelling Fazio with 24 shots on goal. Adam Mascherin, who also had 3 points on the night opened the scoring for the home side at 5:11 of the first period. Leafs' prospect Jeremy Bracco and Doug Blaisdell were credited with the assists.
In the latter stages of the first, Sean Josling hopped on a loose puck and beat Dawson Carty for his first career OHL goal. Both Franco Sproviero and Kelton Hatcher picked up assists on the goal. The assist for Hatcher was the first point of his young OHL career.
Before the period drew to a close, the Rangers would regain their lead – this time from the stick of sophomore forward Greg Meireles. Kitchener would take a 2-1 lead into the break.
It was a wide open second period with both teams exchanging chances early and often. Nikita Korostelev drew first blood; jamming home a rebound to tie the game 2-2. Both Brady Hinz and Jordan Kyrou were awarded assists.
The Rangers would respond; and within a span of 0:25, Jacob Cascagnette would find the back of the net twice and give the home side a 4-2 lead.
Just 15 seconds after the second Cascagnette goal, Brady Hinz would tip home a Connor Schlichting point shot and reduce the Rangers lead to one.
Just a few minutes later, Korostelev struck again for the Sting. After a good stick from Hinz broke up the Rangers breakout, Korostelev would streak in and dodge two defenders before beating Carty with a back-hand shot over the glove.
The Sting would take their first lead of the game at 9:12 of the second period when Jaden Lindo capitalized on the powerplay. After a couple of whacks near the goal mouth, the puck eventually crossed the line, and upon further review, was called a good-goal.
Jeremy Bracco tied the game for Kitchener with less than 5:00 remaining in regulation, sending the game to overtime and eventually a shootout. During the extra frame, the Sting would be forced to kill off a 4-on-3 man advantage before progressing to the shootout.
In the shootout, both Nikita Korostelev and Jordan Kyrou would capitalize for the Sting while Justin Fazio turned aside both Garreffa and Bracco to solidify the two points for Sarnia.
The Sting are back in action on Saturday night at the Progressive Auto Sales Arena when they take on the visiting Peterborough Petes for the first time this season. The Petes are coming off a 6-3 to the London Knights after topping the Saginaw Spirit on Thursday. Puck drop is set for 7:05 PM.
- The Sting were 1/3 with the man advantage while going 5/5 on the penalty kill
- Korostelev now leads the Sting with 9 points on the year
- Jordan Kyrou picked up 2 assists in Kitchener – giving him 8 points in 4 games this season
- The Sting were 41/70 (59%) from the faceoff dot. Troy Lajeunesse was 10/13

Good Points
Camera, different coloured lights, memory card, mp3.
Bad Points
No my dictionary
General Comments
I love Sharp phones so I decided to upgrade from a GX10 to a GX30. It is a very smart looking phone, the camera is fantastic, the video is pretty good too! The only bad thing I have to say is the fact that when a word isn't in the T9 dictionary, in other Sharp phones you can spell the word out and save it to your dictionary but on this one you can't so you have to retype it everytime you use that word and to do that you have to keep going through the options menu and select input method and you're going backwards 'n forwards all the time, especially if you swear a lot like I do. But yeah, good phone in general.

No, you can't replace the Lantus with Novorapid. They are both very different types of insulins, with different profiles and they cannot be interchanged. Please see a doctor to get a new prescription for Lantus.

Annual Fund
Tuition does not cover the cost of educating our students.
The Annual Fund raises funds to cover this gap. Giving to the Fraser Woods Montessori School Annual Fund is a very personal expression of your belief in the school's mission, and your commitment to supporting each student's unique gift for learning.
This year our goal is to raise $80,000 with 100% participation.
We ask each member of our community to make a gift that is personally significant. Your donation is an investment in your child's education, an endorsement of Fraser Woods Montessori School mission, and a gift that will benefit every FWM student.
Gifts may be paid by cash, check, credit card, securities or pledges fullfilled over the course of the fiscal year, and matching gifts from your employer can help you to increase the size of your gift. Leadership gifts are recognized at a gracious givers reception in the fall of the following academic year. Thank you!
Give to the Fraser Woods Montessori School Annual Fund.
Why does FWM have an Annual Fund?
Fraser Woods Montessori School, like virtually all independent schools and colleges, relies on unrestricted tax-deductible gifts to meet annual operating expenses. Tuition does not cover all the annual operating expenses, and the difference between what tuition and fees cover and what is left is called "the gap," valued at roughly $2,000 per student. Every Student enrolled in the FWM (full day) relies on the generosity of our parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents and friends of FWM to cover the "gap". Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund provide opportunities for all FWM students to become their best.
Annual giving helps bridge this gap and keeps our financial base strong while enabling us to attract and retain specially trained teachers and keep a beautiful environment while maintaining a low student-teacher ratio.
Why not charge for this "gap" in tuition?
On a practical level, the Board of Trustees tries to keep tuition as low as possible so as many families as possible can afford to send their children to Fraser Woods Montessori School. The Board feels it is important to keep our tuition competitive with other independent schools, but is also committed to maintaining our small class sizes and academic excellence.
On a philosophical level, charitable giving ensures we can sustain Fraser Woods' excellence. American schools and colleges were built on the generosity of others because the belief in the value of education was (and is) so strong. Fraser Woods' value to its students and other constituents is clearly measurable. We all can and should be very proud of that.
Why should I give more? I pay tuition.
Tuition does not cover the cost of educating your child. When you chose a Fraser Woods Montessori education for your child, you made a conscious choice for quality. Your gift to Fraser Woods Montessori School Annual Fund helps to preserve that quality.
Voluntary gifts to quality educational institutions are a tradition in this country. Parents and alumni of independent schools, colleges and universities recognize this fact across the country—and also by hundreds of corporations through their matching gift programs. Such a gift is your way of demonstrating your support to advance the school's educational priorities.
What is the difference between the Annual Fund and the Annual Spring Auction?
The Annual Fund campaign is FWM's top fundraising priority. Gifts to the Annual Fund offset the yearly operating budget whereas the annual Spring Auction raises funds to support diversity through tuition assistance.
How much am I expected to give to the Annual Fund?
All gifts are welcome and count, regardless of size, in helping us reach our yearly goal. We hope that every parent will be as generous as possible, and for each family that amount may be different.
Why is participation so important?
Every dollar gift, no matter what the size, is needed and important. Strong participation within our school community attracts greater opportunities for grants from banking institutions and foundations. Broad-based participation from the parent body also helps major donors determine their level of giving.
Do I have to pay all at once?
Most gifts are paid all at once but you may opt to pay in monthly installments. The annual fund fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th.

Night blindness is not a complete lack of vision at night, as the name implies. It is a below-average ability to see at night or in low light. Night blindness, unlike color blindness, is not a disorder in itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying condition. It can occur in people of all ages, even young children.
Your night vision naturally differs from your day vision in many ways. In darkness, the eye is basically color blind; visual acuity is poor, and the eye sees only a fraction of what it sees in daylight. A central scotoma appears in the center of the visual field; and the eye is unable detect stationary objects as well as it can detect moving objects.
If you have night blindness, you will have consistent difficulties in seeing at night, but will be able to see normally during the day or when an adequate amount of light is present. You will not be able to see objects in the dark that are easily visible to others, and your eyes may need more time to adjust after you go from a brightly lit space into a dark space, such as a movie theater. People with night blindness often have problems driving at night. If you have a history of poor night vision, whether it is a recent occurrence or a long-standing problem, you should see your eye doctor for an evaluation.
Symptoms of night Blindness can vary on an individual basis for each patient. Symptoms include weak vision in dim light, difficulty seeing during night driving, and slow vision adaption between bright and dim light conditions. Only your doctor can provide adequate diagnosis of any signs or symptoms and whether they are indeed night blindness symptoms.
The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of night blindness. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor regarding your symptoms Retinitis pigmentosa, Macular Degeneration, Rod-Cone Dystrophy, Cataracts, Vitamin A deficiency, Cystic fibrosis, cirrhosis of the liver.
Testing for Night Blindness
If you have difficulty seeing at night, it is important to visit your eye care professional. He or she will perform tests to determine whether you have night blindness and whether it may be connected to an underlying disease. The eye examination will include the following such as tests to measure your visual acuity, ability to see colors, and your pupil light reflex, refraction test to measure your prescription for eye glasses orcontact lenses.
Slit lamp examination to examine the structures in the front of the eye, including conjunctiva, cornea, eyelids, iris, lens, and sclera and retinal examination to look for any damage to the structures in the back of the eye.

While many parents may assume that bullying in schools is a problem that occurs in middle or high school, the fact is that schools and parents should take steps to prevent and stop bullying in schools as early as kindergarten and early elementary school. By teaching children about what bullying is and the facts about how and why it is harmful, teachers and parents can set important foundations to stop bullying behavior before it starts.

What is Bullying?

Bullying is defined as aggressive behavior that is intentional. It can be physical (such as pushing or hitting) or verbal (such as hurting someone with insults or malicious gossip). In younger children, bullying can also frequently include exclusion (a child telling another she doesn't want to play with her and urging others to join her in excluding the victim of the bullying behavior, for instance).

Bullying can affect children of any age, from kindergarten and elementary school years to high school. Studies show that as many as 15 to 20 percent of kids are bullied "sometimes or more often," and 15 to 20 percent of kids admit to bullying others with some frequency, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Bullying in Grade School

While problems such as cyberbullying may be less prevalent in grade-school, bullying can still occur among young children. While younger children are much less likely to have access to social networking sites or cell phones to exchange hurtful messages, they can nevertheless encounter hurtful behavior on the playground or in classes.

Bullying among younger kids can take the form of ostracism, as in when a group of kids may agree not to include a classmate in their games. Some other ways younger children bully may include verbal aggression, such as name-calling or physical aggression such as shoving or hitting.

Kids who are targeted by bullies often include those who have a disability or children who are not adept at making friends and have little social support. Recent research has shown that obesity is also a significant risk factor for being a victim of bullies. In some instances, a child may become the target of bullying behavior based upon nothing more than a distinguishing characteristic, such as her name. Remember the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes? In this spot-on story about young kids' behavior in school, poor Chrysanthemum is teased and ostracized by some mean girls in her class simply because of her name.

What Parents Can Do to Prevent and Stop Bullying

Stay connected with your child. The more you know about her friends and the details about her interactions with classmates and peers, the more likely you are to spot any changes in your child's social interactions. Talk with your child every day about specifics at school and extracurricular activities such as who she had lunch with or what the best or worst part of her day was. This is also an important way to establish good communication with your child so that she knows that you are someone she can go to when she has a problem.

Explain to your child what bullying is. Young children understand that hitting or pushing another child is wrong (that's why even young bullies will try to be aggressive toward their victims when teachers or other adults aren't looking). But you can also explain that other forms of bullying, such as excluding or ignoring someone, can also be hurtful.

Tell her what to do in case she experiences or witnesses bullying. Establish and periodically review with your child the basics of what to do if they encounter hurtful behavior directed toward them or someone else. Tell her to alert a teacher right away if she sees bullying behavior (explain that this is not tattling, which is reporting something to the teacher just to get someone in trouble, but is an important way to stop someone from getting hurt).

Teach a child the importance of empathy. Research has shown that emotional intelligence and empathy skills may be even more important for success in life than intellectual intelligence. A child who is able to understand what it may feel like to be bullied and can understand and regulate his own emotions is less likely to engage in that behavior.

Set a good example. Do you ever make fun of other people or gossip about others in front of your child? Have you ever spoken rudely to a waiter at a restaurant or to a store clerk in a shop? Even if you think your children are not listening or observing your behavior, the fact is that kids learn a lot about how to conduct themselves from watching their parents.

Look for warning signs that your child may be the victim of bullying. Does she express reluctance to go to school? Are you seeing sudden behavioral changes such as aggression or emotional problems such as anxiety or depression? Children may be reluctant to discuss a school bullying problem with parents, but there are common signs parents can look for if they suspect that their child may be the victim of school bullying.

Talk to your school about what teachers can do and about effective programs that are being used by schools to deter bullying. If you suspect that your child may be the victim of school bullying, you can tell your child's teacher about your concerns and ask her to keep an eye out on the interactions between your child and his classmates. Ask the teacher to watch out for problems and notify the school principal and counselor about your concerns.

Head-Direct HE-400 Planar Magnetic Headphones ReviewPerformance »
Closer Examination
The sample we secured was without box. The retail version of the headphones will feature a cardboard box with a plastic insert that holds the headphones. The HE-400s ship with a less extensive bundle compared to the HE-500s which is to be expected considering the price difference between the two. Worth noticing is that the new HE-400s ship with the HiFiMAN pleather ear pads per default which gives a better bass response and a slightly better rendering of the midrange.
Cable wise the HE-400s are quite well equipped for at home listening. The Canare cable used is of very good quality and the termination is really good as well, albeit using a standard no-name jack. Bundled with the headphone is also a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.
HiFiMAN seems to be employing the time tested motto of "if it works don't change it". The HE-400s share the basic design from all of the HE-series headphones from Head-Direct HiFiMAN line of products.
The headband has been left untouched for the HE-400s. If you have a normal sized head the clamping force will be fine (your reviewer's head is 58 cm circumference). Fortunately the headband is a basic design with a steel core that can be bent into shape if you are careful not to overdo it. Padding wise it is a bit on the lean side, but it does not pose an issue due to the headphone's relatively low weight.
The HiFiMAN HE-400s employ a brand new version of their planar magnetic driver. This new driver setup is more sophisticated than that featured on the other HE-series headphones which enables HiFiMAN to mass produce and sell them at the more sober price of $400. The driver area is similar to that of the HE-500s, but the magnetic array is much smaller and a less complex design.
Compared to the HE-500 driver the ones featured in the HE-400s looks simple and crude. A few looks around inside the ear cup do reveal that a lot of thought has gone into optimizing the layout for mass production.
Pad wise the HE-400s are good, gone is the much hated tab system of the first generation pads from Head-Direct. The new pads are much more durable and much easier to install.

Jolokia is a fresh way of accessing JMX MBeans remotely. It is different from JSR-160 connectors, as it is an agent based approach that uses JSON over HTTP for its communication. It provides new features for JMX remoting: bulk requests allow for multiple JMX operations with a single remote server roundtrip, there is a fine-grained security mechanism for restricting JMX access on specific JMX operations, JSR-160 proxy mode, and history tracking, to name a few. Jolokia's origins are in jmx4perl. Client bindings in addition to Perl have already been added, and more are planned.
Release Notes: Beside bugfixes this release adds the ability to configure the MBean name ordering for JMX queries, and adds the ability to obtain the handles of all jobs registered in the JavaScript scheduler.
Sudokuki is a graphical SUDOKU game. It solves even the most difficult sudoku grids for you. It can generate a sudoku, play sudoku, and print a sudoku.
Release Notes: This release adds Arabic translations. It also includes a fix for an issue where the language menu would lose sync with the current locale. Translations files have been updated, including for 'nl' and 'pt_BR' locales.
irked is an IRC client that runs as a daemon accepting notification requests as JSON objects presented to a listening socket. It is meant to be used by hook scripts in version-control repositories, allowing them to send commit notifications to project IRC channels. A hook script that works with git, hg, and svn is included in the distribution.
Release Notes: irclib 5.0 and urlparse compatibility fixes.
An alternative DNS client library.
An image viewer and organizer.

Bordering on the absurd, Mullick has been quoted as saying, "Do not look at their (CPI-M workers) faces. If they are on your left, turn right. Do not look at them, for you may fall into trouble. It will bring you bad luck. If you are heading for work and see their faces, you may end up getting crushed under the wheels of a vehicle."
This shocking diktat was made by Mullick when he was addressing an assembly in North 24 Parganas late Saturday night. If that was not all, he also asked partymen to keep a picture of Mamata Banerjee in their homes for good luck. He commented, "Always keep a picture of Mamata Banerjee at your home and look at it before going out. You will have a great day. Make it a point to look at her picture before going out."
The Ministers past comments on CPM workers had drawn flak when he said, "Don't mingle with CPI-M workers. Don't talk to them. Don't establish any marriage relations with CPI-M cadre."
