Bowling has been around since the 16th century, so its no `five minute wonder'.
Bowls is one of those games that can be played by both men and women in a multitude of formats, from singles to pairs, triples and finally fours. Rinks are approx 96 feet long and there are 6 rinks per green and outdoor bowls is played from May – September.
Play is either all men teams, all lady teams or a mix of men and women in the same team (mixed club). The clothing is Grey or White bottoms, traditionally with White tops, shoes are either Brown, grey or White with flat soles – to protect the grass surface!
Whats your perception of bowls? Played by old people, without much humour, cant be much fun, can it? Not much exercise either.
Is this your view of bowls? Then let me enlighten you.
Yes you can play against some funny folk, but equally you will come across many more nicer ones as well. As for fun, many of us only bowl to enjoy ourselves not for the competition – it's the company you see!
As for exercise, if you bowled in a normal 21 end game then you would have played for around 2 ½ hours in the fresh air, walked nearly a mile, bent down and pushed or bowled your bowls 42 times up and down the grass and used your brain and eyes to concentrate on the delivery, the weight and where those bowls have to end up!
Finally there is the travel, yes traveling, `away' visiting and playing other clubs.
Its a summer game. Its played whatever the weather – yes that right in the rain as well! If that's not exercise for the whole body then I don't know what is, so from all this you can see that bowls is very much a game for all ages!.

As shown in the now-famous exchange between Taylor Swift and Apple, artists have a love/hate relationship with music streaming services. Is the increased exposure worth the relatively low payout? Is it worth nopayout? Several 1960s rock bands say no and have subsequently sued Sirius XM and Pandora.
"Since the Federal copyright only protected songs made after 1972, players such as Sirius XM and Pandora were not paying royalties for songs launched before 1972," Forbes reports. The Turtles and other classic bands sued, arguing that they deserved a cut of the streaming revenues anyway. The lawsuit against Sirius XM just settled, "with the satellite radio provider agreeing to pay $210 million for broadcasting songs made before 1972" and promising to negotiate a new licensing deal.
This lawsuit illustrates why it is so important to stay abreast of changes in your industry. Streaming services are at risk if they don't anticipate and address the trend of artists demanding and receiving greater royalties. They may face their own lawsuits, or worse, defamation from one of society's most influential voices, Taylor Swift.

'Article 6 not applicable on Pervez Musharraf'
KARACHI – Barrister Farogh Nasim, counsel for Pervez Musharraf, has said that the Article 6 is not applicable on the former president despite the fact that the violation of constitution was a wrong step.
He argued this before a two-member bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) during hearing of Musharraf's application seeking removal of his name from the exit control list (ECL). The bench comprised of Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Shahnawaz Tariq.
In his arguments, Barrister Nasim said that the former president cannot be tried under Article 6 of the constitution. The offense of subverting the constitution, if proved, carries death penalty under Article 6. He said non-provision of FIA report is 'mala fide' of the federal government, and without it he neither could prepare cross-examination for prosecution witnesses nor could determine defence witnesses.
He also said that many documents pertaining to the Nov 3 emergency rule had been disappeared by the government and the FIA could resolve the mystery. "For a fair trial, it's very important to provide all relevant documents of the case to the accused. With the FIA report, the trial is baseless," he said.
Prosecutor Tariq Hasan termed Barrister Nasim's concerns baseless and held out the assurance that all document-based evidences would be provided in the stage of witnessing. The bench granted two weeks to the federal government to file a formal response over Musharraf's petition seeking permission to go abroad to visit his sick mother.
The former strongman will have to wait a fortnight for government's response. Despite his applications, the government has rejected his requests for flying to Dubai. Later, the court adjourned the case till Friday. Barrister Nasim will carry on his contention tomorrow as well.

How This is Different
How this is different
You know…
Different from the diet roller coaster that takes your weight zooming down and then climbing up again — and no matter where you are on the ride, you still feel out of control and anxious about what's going to happen next.
Different from the authoritarian systems that rely on strict rules imposed from above, obsessive calorie counting and contrition sessions — like you're a criminal on supervised release.
Different from the relentless rehashing of past hurts that leave you exhausted and disheartened — with no supported strategy for dealing with the here and now, and no clear way forward.
My one-to-one coaching sessions and group coaching programs, delivered by phone, Skype, online and in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia are different for a number of reasons:
1. I know that our relationships with food and our body are tied to our most primal experience of Self — our existence and identity.
Opening up to work on these relationships is challenging — it's tender — you may feel vulnerable. I am not here to fix you, but to revere your inherent wholeness and beauty. I am sincerely honored to be your trusted guide as you find your way back home and discover the simple pleasure of being alive.
2. I know that making lasting changes is inner work, and it can only happen through self-compassion and acts of love.
Together we will leave behind the destructive environment of shame and blame and the violent tools of self-denial, self-rejection, and punishment. Truth, not force, is how we end compulsive eating and body obsession. With enough awareness, enough curiosity, and enough genuine tenderness, the old stories will fall away, revealing your sweet truth. And when you believe in your truth more than you believe in the quick fix, you will have the power to choose a life of ease, pleasure and fulfillment.
3. I help you build a bridge between mind and body. I think this is the most important difference.
So many of us become trapped in our heads, trapped in repetitive habits, and completely disconnected from our bodies and free flowing emotions. All good relationships are built on good communication. We'll open the lines of communication between your mind and your body to establish a solid foundation for lasting change, using simple and effective mind-body techniques.
4. I cross-pollinate ideas and methods from many sources — formal education, a wealth of professional trainings and certifications, teachers from varied spiritual and philosophical backgrounds, personal experience, and direct interaction with women through coaching, workshops and courses.
And just as bees collect nectar from fields of flowers to feed their hive, I've gathered nourishing expertise and wisdom from far and wide to help myself, and hungry women like me, to transform our relationships with food, weight and body image — for real. That's how I know that I can help you create your own nourishing honey to fuel your truly luscious life.
Why weight? It's time to reach out and go for it…

Blackburn & District Pony Club member shortlisted for BETA Award
Blackburn & District Branch of the Pony Club are more than a little giddy this morning! One of their members, Ricki Riley, has received some amazing news: Ricki Riley (sponsored by Horzehoods) has been shortlisted as a finalist for the BETA Rider Award Category alongside Piggy French (Dodson & Horrell), Sophie Webster (Neue Schule), Kristie Clinch (Airvest), Ben Hobday (Equilibrium Products) and Marie Sandell (Bliss of London).
This award recognises sponsored riders who have made the greatest contribution to the trade. It is presented to those who have participated fully in building a relationship with their sponsors, generating good results for them as well as themselves.
Ricki has competed successfully with her pony Mister Copperfield at County Working Hunter and has represented Blackburn and District Branch of the Pony Club as a leading light in their show jumping and dressage teams.
Ricki says: "I'm so proud to even be nominated for such an award so to become one of 6 finalists is absolutely unbelievable, especially for an amateur up against riders who I aspire to! I can't thank Stacey of Horzehoods enough for believing in me and nominating me, even without me knowing! And to my fantastic pony of a lifetime Mister Copperfield for helping me achieve the results I have! I can't wait to get dressed up and enjoy the night regardless of results!"

By this time next year, hungry families in Mozambique will be receiving their first cow, a bit of "hope on the hoof," if the efforts of the Field of Hope Growing Project are successful.
For five consecutive years, they have been.
Success has come, one acre at a time, in five different countries, sending hope and opportunity to thousands of people.
Enthusiasm runs high in the eight small churches that comprise the Field of Hope Growing Project as this year's project is announced.
The congregations of Grossnickle Church of the Brethren, Harmony Church of the Brethren, Welty Church of the Brethren, Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren, Myersville (Md.) Church of the Brethren, Hagerstown Church of the Brethren, Christ Reformed United Church of Christ, Middletown, Md., and Holy Family Catholic Community, working through the network of Foods Resource Bank, will work together to raise funds to support a cattle project in Mozambique.
Foods Resource Bank explains how the project works: New cattle clusters are formed in rural areas where good grazing exists. A cluster consists of five families who build a common corral and work together herding the cows. Each family is given two cows and the cluster shares a bull. The cattle multiply for a period of four years and then 10 cows and a bull from the offspring are given to five additional families in the area, forming a new cluster. The training of one "village vet" per cluster increases animal husbandry knowledge in the villages. The village vets are introduced to government veterinarians who provide services to communities. This partnership relationship develops further each year.
The group of Frederick and Washington county churches has worked closely with Foods Resource Bank in the past. Last year's project raised more than $24,000 to improve food security and agricultural practices for the most vulnerable of the population — orphans and the elderly — in the Nkhoma region of Malawi. Prior projects have focused on similar projects in Bamba Kenya, Eastern Zambia, Congo and Nicaragua.
Inspiration for the growing project came from a Sunday school class at Grossnickle Church of the Brethren. After studying the book "Ending Hunger Now" by George McGovern, Bob Dole and Donald E. Messer, the class decided to take action. Options were researched, the partnership with Foods Resource Bank was formed and area churches were invited to participate.
Celebrations include a "Blessing of the Seeds" held along a stream on the farm at planting time, and a "Harvest Festival" in October. A worship service, cake auction, scarecrow making and authentic food from the sponsored country are shared on the farm.

Thermophilic ancestry of Bacteria
Textbook readings
Chapter 8, page 105
Notes, Comments and Updates
The fact that the deepest branches in the bacterial tree are thermophilic, and often extremely thermophilic, implies that the ancestors of Bacteria were also thermophilic, and that mesophily arose later in the tree, approximately at the main evolutionary radiation where most of the non-thermophilic phyla originate. The possibility of a thermophilic ancestry for Bacteria is strengthened by the fact that the deeply-branching and primitive Archaea are likewise thermophilic, and so probably both the Bacteria and Archaea share a thermophilic ancestry.
But not all bacterial thermophiles are primitive and related only to other thermophiles; many are close relatives of otherwise mesophilic species. This means that there are 2 types of fundamentally-different thermophiles:
Ancestral thermophiles (e.g. Thermotoga and Aquifex) have only thermophilic ancestors. These organisms have been thermophiles as far back as we can observe phylogenetically, & so seem never to have adapted to mesophily - they evolved from scratch in thermophilic environments and thermophily is built into them from the basics up.
Adapted thermophiles (e.g. thermophilic Bacillus and Clostridium species) are related to & evolved from mesophiles, (re)adapting to thermophily more recently.
This is a critical difference for those interested in examining how life is possible at high temperatures.

GodisaGeek: "Here are the official descriptions of both characters:
The Fighter is the hulking meatshield of Dragon's Crown. Clad in armor and skilled as a swordsman, the fighter sets the pace for the battlefield with quick strikes and area-of-affect power attacks. A good all-around character, the Fighter packs enough brawn to survive battles while still being a deadly combatant.
The Sorceress exudes a powerful aura thanks to the lethal elemental magic she uses to leave stacks of frozen or burnt corpses in her wake. But her powers don't end there – her knowledge of the dark necromantic arts allows her to raise skeletons to fight for her as an ally. If things get too perilous for the Sorceress, a teleport spell allows her to blink away from danger. Her vast amount of skills means she's suited as a support or solo character."
Another great looking game which will be ruined by idiots
Odin Sphere meets Dungeons and Dragons meets Guardian Heroes meets Guilty Gear = Dragon's Crown!
Fighter is one helluva Meat Slicer!
Nothing beats the speed, snappiness and precision of 2D fighters.

Arkansas boy hated sister he shot, friend says
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An Arkansas teen never told police or prosecutors why he shot and killed his sleeping sister, but a childhood friend says the 15-year-old hated the straight-A student and athlete.
Colton Harvey pleaded guilty this week to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. He confessed to killing his 16-year-old sister, Candace, but didn't explain why.
In a document obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, one of his friends described animosity between the siblings. The friend says Harvey said he hated his sister but never said anything along the lines of wanting to kill her.
Harvey showed up at a sheriff's office in January and said he killed his sister. Prosecutors initially charged Harvey with first-degree murder, but they worked out a plea bargain with his lawyer.

12/01/2017 On the Alzheimer's Horizon
Alli Walsh, Social Media Strategist
On the Alzheimer's Horizon
More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease in 2017 and according the Alzheimer's Association, that number could rise to 16 million by 2050.1 The disease kills more people than prostate cancer and breast cancer combined2, and the devastating effects ripple out, impacting loved ones near and far. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. Supplementally Speaking is highlighting three current areas of research and sharing renewed hope for those with the disease.
Brain inflammation.
While much past research related to new Alzheimer's treatments has been focused on commonly seen amaloid-beta deposits in the brain, scientists struggle to gain traction with drugs focused on this area.3 While testing shows decrease in the deposits, it does not demonstrate reduced symptoms. Many researchers are turning their attention toward brain inflammation –another trademark of the disease—as a cause instead of being only a byproduct.4 Studies in mice show promise in drugs designed to target immune cells called microglia, which tend to be overactive in Alzheimer's patients. Initial results demonstrated reduced memory and behavioral problems and also prevented brain cell communication errors commonly seen in Alzheimer's patients.5
Epigenetics, simply defined, is the study of biological mechanisms that will switch genes on and off. Epigenetics affect how genes are interpreted by bodily cells and in turn, how those cells react.6 Understanding how certain genes are turned on and off and all possible on/off combinations could, in theory, determine cures for many diseases and ailments.7 Epigenetic alterations have been identified in Alzheimer's disease, and more research is being conducted to further understanding and therapeutic applications.8
Alzheimer's cocktail.
Twenty-five years ago, a diagnosis of HIV meant certain death, but today, thanks to pharmaceutical advances and combination therapy, those diagnosed can go on to live long lives.9 This same story has played out in relation to cancer and heart disease and in recent years, the probability of treating Alzheimer's disease similarly has become popular. Thanks to a joint effort called the Alzheimer's Combination Therapy Opportunities grant initiative, $2 million will be provided in 2017 for analyzing combination therapies that target two or more processes believed to be related to Alzheimer's disease. The combination approach may utilize drugs currently approved to treat other conditions, which could limit time-to-market for approved combinations.10

ALBUQUERQUE — Four Mexican nationals have been ordered held without bond after they were arrested in connection with a bribery case involving the illegal purchase of resident alien cards.
Special agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives made the arrests Saturday as part of a six-month joint investigation.
Luis Daniel Miramontes-Morales, 44, is accused of paying $12,000 in cash to a federal agent he believed was a corrupt government employee in exchange for four green cards.
His wife, sister and brother-in-law are charged with illegally entering the United States.
The four drove from Colorado – where they had been living – to Albuquerque on Saturday to pick up their green cards. Instead, they were arrested by federal agents.

The Conservative Party should back the government's plans for higher education and end the agony of opposition policy for opposition's sake, a former Tory minister said this week.
Robert Jackson, who as education minister from 1987 to 1990 carried out research into the feasibility of top-up fees, fired a broadside at Conservative leaders who are rewriting higher education policy in an attempt to put clear water between the party and government aims as laid out in the white paper a fortnight ago.
Mr Jackson said that the government's higher education white paper, which set out plans to allow universities to charge different levels of fees up to £3,000 a year, sat comfortably with Tory free-market principles.
Mr Jackson, one of three Conservative MPs on the education and skills select committee, said he would support the government's higher education policy during the committee's forthcoming inquiry into the white paper proposals. Many Labour Party members of the committee have misgivings about the white paper.
Mr Jackson said: "The government is doing something firmly within the parameters of Conservative Party philosophy and I think it would be ridiculous for Conservatives to end up taking a more leftwing position than the government."
The news that Mr Jackson and like-minded Tories may support the white paper will come as cold comfort to the government, which faces a rebellion by Labour backbenchers over impending top-up fee legislation.
But shadow education secretary Damian Green said that there were conflicting Conservative principles at stake and that Mr Jackson did not speak for the rest of the party in opting for a market solution in higher education.
Mr Green said: "I am not remotely convinced by the argument that all we have to look at is the market solution. There is another respectable Tory principle of opportunity for all."
Mr Green had earlier told The THES that, while he was not opposed to higher tuition fees and measures to allow universities more freedom from state control, he was worried by the levels of debt that students would accumulate under a top-up fees system.
The party has set up an independent education commission to examine policy and practice in schools, colleges and universities. It is headed by Sir Robert Balchin, vice-chairman of governors of Goldsmiths College, London.
The Conservatives hope to finalise their higher education policy later this year.
Higher education minister Margaret Hodge will be the first to give evidence to the select committee's white paper inquiry on Tuesday. Education secretary Charles Clarke will be last. He is due before the committee in early March.
* In a speech to the annual dinner of the Conservative's Bow Group on Monday, party leader Iain Duncan Smith said that the government's 50 per cent higher education participation target amounted to social engineering in the name of egalitarianism, which would force people into university whether or not they stood to benefit academically.
Jonathan Shaw, Labour MP for Chatham and Aylesford : "One of my concerns is about the differing status between universities that the white paper implies. I think this is an important part of the widening-access debate."
Meg Munn, Labour MP for SheffieldHeeley : "I am a rare breed, being broadly supportive of the white paper. But the important thing for me is to get a sense of the thinking behind the whole white-paper package."
Jeff Ennis, Labour MP for Barnsley East and Mexborough : "There are many good things in the white paper. My questions will be about ensuring an appropriate access strategy and whether the maintenance allowance is pitched right."
Valerie Davey, Labour MP for Bristol West : "I will ask for the financial evidence to be set alongside the options the government considered. I am looking to better understand the analysis that led government to decide that this is the best way forward."

text: I don't know if this has been asked before, but I figured I'd try anyway. There are a lot of threads asking what are your favorite demo discs. My question digs a little deeper. IF ALL OF YOUR DVD's HAD TO BE TAKEN AWAY (Heaven forbid!) EXCEPT ONE. What is the ONE DVD you would have to keep. It's ok to list reasons: Picture Quality, Sound , Story Line etc. Mine would have to be U-571 (subject to change later in this post) for sound and story line. It may or may not be accurate, but I enjoyed it regardless.

To me, the biggest problem in Ireland was the hold the Church had over the people and the fact that clergy (& nuns, Heaven preserve us!), had so much power. From that pov, it was certainly far worse in Ireland than here.
However unmarried mothers had a very hard time here too, they seemed to have no rights and could be 'placed' wherever the charities, middle class type social workers and sometimes their parents, saw fit.
The CofE did 'Churching' too, it went out of fashion in the 1960s. When it was explained to me, it didn't seem to be about sin but about having time to get over birth, physically, and then giving thanks for that recovery.
It was a sawn off version of the purification ritual Jewish women went through a few weeks after giving birth - still do in many Jewish communities. They have no physical contact with men, don't prepare food until after this is done. They are thoroughly looked after for a few weeks and Jewish women tend to look upon that as a precious time.
I've never asked but imagine Muslims have similar. I know Hindus do.
Most others have left all those traditions behind.

Our horse racing tips for Saturday November 24th come from Lingfield, Ascot and this evening's card at Wolverhampton. As ever, we've a couple of strong fancies plus our Each-Way "longshot" recommendation, a 12/1 (13.00) shout with Bet365 at present. Mick Channon (pictured) trains one of today's racing tips – read on to find out which…
Recommended bets:
1.10 Ascot – Balbriggan @ 5/2 (3.50) with ToteSport
9.20 Wolverhampton – Sir Dylan @ 6/1 (7.00) with Bet365
Longshot of the day:
1.55 Lingfield – Emman Bee @ 12/1 (13.00) with Bet365
Mick Channon's Balbriggan is the first of our free horse racing tips for Saturday November 24th, in the 1.10 at Ascot. An impressive enough chase debut at Bangor last time out saw the grey gelding register a first win under rules and the extra 3f today should play to his strengths. I've no concerns about the soft ground either and at current odds of 5/2 (3.50) with ToteSport, I think the selection looks a good bet.
The second of Saturday's horse racing tips goes in the 9.20 at Wolverhampton and is currently rated a 6/1 (7.00) shot with Bet365. The Ron Harris trained Sir Dylan doesn't have an amazing record at Wolverhampton, which probably goes a little way to explaining the generous price, but then he's never attempted this trip at the course (and both career wins came over today's trip). The three year old is in the best form of his short career, finishing second over 11f two runs back and confirming that promise with a win over 12f next time out (both Kempton). The third placed horse in that last time out effort has since gone on to win, to boost the form. Up 6lbs on that effort, it won't be quite so easy for the selection this time around but in fairness, it looks a weak race today.
Emman Bee is our bigger priced Each-Way tip for Saturday November 24th, running in the 1.55 at Lingfield. The grey filly won over this course and distance earlier in the year and although she's up 9lbs on that effort, she did win a race on turf this summer off a mark of just 1lb lower than today. Don't worry too much about her disappointing effort at the course last time out, as she was ridden by an inexperienced jockey over an inadequate trip. She clearly has some ability when conditions allow and a current best price of 12/1 (13.00) with Bet365, I'm happy to gamble that today could be her day.
Follow us on Twitter @betpal_ and get all of our great horse racing tips!

Lithuania Get Some Hometown Love from Philly's WXPN, The Deli; On Tour with Beach Slang
"It's really exciting for me not to be sitting down," Dr. Dog drummer Eric Slick told Philadelphia's WXPN about his role playing guitar and singing in his current garage rock project, Lithuania. "My whole life I've been sitting down, and now I'm like wait, I can move around? No wonder people like to do this!" Slick and his bandmate Dom Angelella (DRGN King) talked to their hometown radio station this summer before the release of their new album Hardcore Friends, detailing a history of hardcore friendship that dates back to their freshmen year in jazz school. According to WXPN, the new album is "some of the hookiest, propulsive punk songwriting the guys have offered." Read all about it here.
The album was also the Deli Philadelphia's September 2015 Album of the Month. According to the review, which you can read here, the album "fuses punk-rock attitude and assertiveness with a resounding melodic pop sensibility. The energy and emotion are palpable."
The band still have about a half dozen dates opening for Beach Slang remaining – catch them live at one of these shows:
11/17 – Mohawk – Austin, TX
11/18 – Double Wide – Dallas, TX
11/20 – Outland Ballroom – Springfield, MO
11/21 – Subterranean – Chicago, IL

Well the GSCE results are in and another year of improvement. I imagine that the fact that there has been constant improvement for the last 23 years has not been much of a comfort for the teenagers, and their parents who were waiting biting their nails last year.
I did mine in 1982 and I remember the tension, unbearable, especially as I had just moved to Germany and had to wait another week to get mine as someone had to post them to me. The day they arrived in our letter box, it was a very hot day and I was so excited I rang one of my old teachers to talk about them.
So congratulations to all of you that did your GCSE's I hope that you got the results you were looking for and will get the help you need if they weren't as good as you hoped.

Last night, my husband and I went to the The King's Speech, the movie about how Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue helped King George VI overcome his stammer when he was forced to give public speeches upon gaining the throne after the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. Like almost all the critics, we loved this movie. It features terrific actors, it captures the look and feel of the time perfectly, it is based on true events, and it has an uplifting ending. My husband and I don't get out to the movies much, but if we do, this is exactly the kind of movie I want to see.
The subject matter is appropriate for middle school and high school students. It provides some background on the lead up to World War II, and certainly gives Americans a better picture of the family of the current Queen, Queen Elizabeth II, and of the institution of monarchy altogether. Even more importantly, I think it gives some great lessons about heroism. It is a great example of how we might admire someone famous or from a great family or with great power, and never realize that they, just like all of us, have their own challenges to overcome, their own demons to face. Colin Firth's "Bertie" is a man who is surrendered to his duty, who is noble and persistent and struggles to live up to what his nation and his people need him to be, even if it is not the path he would have chosen for himself. Helen Bonham Carter makes a wonderful wife to the would-not-be King, sweet and strong and stoic and compassionate all at once. (Her performance is especially delightful since the last time we saw her, she was playing Bellatrix Lestrang in the latest Harry Potter movie, where she is pretty much the polar opposite of the role she plays here.) And Geoffrey Rush's Lionel Logue is an eccentric commoner who never loses his dignity and refuses to be pushed around in the face of the royal juggernaut of honors and procedures, facing down the issues of power and class differences that were quite a big deal at the time. It is really a film about everyone striving to be their best selves under trying circumstances, which is a message that none of us, but especially our middle and high school students, can hear often enough.
The issue in sharing this movie with students, however, are several instances of extreme profanity. The swearing scenes, which are a great contrast to the language in the rest of the movie, serve a dramatic purpose. Nonetheless, many of us may not feel comfortable taking our children to a movie with language that is profane enough to have earned the film an R rating.
So you may have to wait until it comes out on DVD, and then fast forward over a couple of bits. Other than that, however, it is a great movie for teaching students a variety of lessons, historical and otherwise.

I saw an amazing show last night at Andyman's Treehouse (I feel compelled to explain to those readers not from Columbus: it's a bar with a tiny back room. The tiny back room has an enormous tree growing up through the floor and out the ceiling. Music acts play there. Watching from behind the tree is not recommended.)
I have no energy left tonight to describe the show, so I point you to this excellent Interview With Eric Bachmann over on donewaiting.com. (By the incomparable Stephen 'Slayballs' Slaybaugh.)

Why Breastfeed?
By: Anne Smith
With over half the women in the United States choosing to breastfeed their infants these days (as opposed to twenty-five percent in the mid sixties), it is obvious that today the majority of women are aware of the many benefits of breastfeeding. When asked why they chose to nurse their baby, most mothers will mention the health advantages, as well as the special closeness they share with their baby. What many are not aware of are the many advantages not just to baby and mother, but to the entire family, as well as to society as a whole.
Advantages to baby include:
Human milk is biologically specific for human babies. Simply put, this means that each species of mammal makes a milk that is uniquely suited for its young. Cow's milk is high in protein and minerals because baby calves are up and running within hours after birth, rapid muscle and bone growth is necessary for their survival. In contrast, the human survival organ is the brain. Human milk is high in factors that promote brain growth. This means that children who were breastfed tend to score higher on IQ tests, due to the beneficial effects of human milk on neurodevelopment. As a side note: why not choose a mammal closer to humans to provide an artificial milk supplement for human infants, a primate, perhaps? Can you imagine a gorilla sitting passively, attached to a milking machine like a cow? Not very likely, but kind of fun to think about.
Human milk contains enzymes, hormones, and immunoglobulins that simply can't be duplicated in formula, although formula manufacturers keep trying. They advertise that their brand is most like mother's milk, but even they agree that breastmilk is best. Look on the can of formula, it says so right on the label.Since breastmilk is always raw and fresh, you don't lose any of the nutrients that are destroyed in formula processing.
Breastmilk is living tissue that changes to meet your baby's nutritional needs, and to protect him against disease. The fat content of human milk varies month to month, day to day, and even hour to hour. For example, the milk produced for a premature infant is higher in protein and calories than milk produced for a full-term infant, giving the tiny baby what he needs to catch up on growth. In cold climates, human milk contains more fat, in warm climates, more water. If your baby is very hungry, he nurses more vigorously and receives more fatty hind milk. If he is just thirsty, he feeds more leisurely and receives a lower calorie milk. As he gets older, the fat content of the milk will gradually decrease because his growth will slow, and he will need fewer calories per pound of weight. Standards for formula are based on data about pooled human milk, so every serving of formula is the same. Human milk constantly adjusts during the whole time your baby is nursing.
Human milk also changes to protect your baby against germs.This is especially important during the first six months of life while his immature system is gradually building his own supply of germ fighting elements, or immunoglobulins. You provide these through your milk for as long as you breastfeed. If you or your baby are exposed to a germ, your milk begins producing antibodies which protect him from the same germs. The white cells in your milk produce a special protein which coats his intestines, preventing the passage of harmful germs from his intestinal tract into his bloodstream. The concentration of antibodies in your milk actually increases as your infant gets older and nurses less often, thus continuing to provide protection as long as you nurse.
Breastmilk contains antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antprotozoal factors as well as antibodies to many specific disease organisms. Breastfed babies have a lower incidence of infection, anemia, diarrhea, meningitis, diabetes, gastroenteritis, asthma, constipation, allergies, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, dental and speech problems, childhood cancer, pulmonary disease, cataracts, high cholesterol, and many more. Artificially fed babies are three to four times as likely as bottle-fed infants to suffer from ear infections and lower respiratory infections, and sixteen times more likely to be sick during the first two months of life.
Let's not forget the importance of the emotional security and closeness to mother than nursing infants enjoy. Anyone who has ever seen a baby blissfully drifting off to sleep while nursing, or being comforted at the breast during periods of stress, knows that breastfeeding offers much more than nutritional and immunological advantages. Breastfeeding ensures that the baby will have lots of physical contact with his mother, there is no way to prop a breast!Rather than making babies more dependent, studies have shown that nursing makes babies more independent as they grow up, since their needs have been met so effectively while they were infants.
Advantages to mother include:
Continuation of your natural reproductive cycle. Breastfeeding suppresses ovulation and delays the return of fertility. In mothers who exclusively breastfeed (no bottles, unrestricted nursing day and night, and no solids before six months), breastfeeding is about 95% - 98% effective as a birth control method. Most women will not have a period during this period of exclusive nursing, but will start their cycle again within a few months of introducing solids. World wide, breastfeeding is the most extensively used method of birth control. Most women in this country don't practice this type of exclusive breastfeeding, so most will use another method. One of the nicest things about nursing is that you get to go for a while (usually months) without having a period.
Breastfeeding helps your body adjust to the many changes that occur after giving birth. As your baby nurses, two hormones are released, oxytocin, which makes your uterus contract and return to its pre-pregnant state more quickly, minimizing blood loss, and prolaction, which helps you relax. Nursing uses up extra calories, and most mothers find that they lose weight faster (without dieting) than formula feeding moms.
Breastfeeding is easier than bottle-feeding. I once asked a young teenage mom why she chose to breastfeed, and without hesitating, she replied "because I'm lazy!". Breastmilk is always ready, always the perfect temperature, and doesn't need to be measured. There are no bottles to clean and transport, and no formula to keep cooled and then warmed. Night feedings are easier because all you have to do is tuck the baby in bed with you and nurse while you both drift off to sleep. Traveling is easier with a nursing baby, so much less to carry. In emergencies (whether ice storms, tornadoes, or being stuck in traffic), breastmilk is always immediately available.
Breastfeeding your infant is satisfying emotionally. That's not to say that you can't bond with a bottle-fed infant, but there is a unique closeness between a mother and her nursing child. Nursing mothers tend to be very in tune with their baby's needs, and that increases not only the baby's security, but also the mother's self confidence in her mothering ability. Being able to comfort a sick, fussy, or tired baby at the breast is one of the most satisfying things about breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding provides health benefits for you as well as your baby. There is a lower risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and osteoporosis in nursing mothers.
Advantages to the family:
Baby smells better. No, really, he does. His bowel movements and spit-up have a much less offensive odor. Dads especially like this.
Although dads sometimes feel left out of the whole breastfeeding process (especially during the early weeks of exclusive nursing), they really like the fact that they are saving tons of money. Formula costs average around $100.00 - $200.00 each month, (depending on the baby's age and weight), and that's assuming your baby isn't allergic and can use the inexpensive stuff. Hypoallergenic formulas cost more. Add in the cost of doctor's visits for ear infections, etc., and you can save a couple ofthousand dollars during the baby's first year.
When siblings see their baby brothers and sisters nursed, it provides a natural form of sex education. What could set a better example in a society so obsessed with breasts as sex objects than seeing your siblings mothered in such a beautiful, natural way?
With today's hectic lifestyles, breastfeeding forces you to take a break, sit down, and nurse. It's almost as if nature provided a feeding system that encourages you to take care of yourself, even if you have a million other things you feel you ought to be doing. Relax and enjoy these precious moments, because babies grow up way too fast.
Advantages to society (this may seem like a stretch, but bear with me)
Breastfeeding is good for the environment. Think about it, it involves no use of energy or packaging materials, and no animals, feed, or machinery.
Breastfeeding is good for employers. Since artificially fed infants are sick more often and for longer periods than breastfed babies, working mothers who don't breastfeed miss more work. Corporate breastfeeding programs in the US resulted in a 27% decrease in absenteeism and a 36% decrease in health care costs. Working mothers who are supported in the workplace not only miss work less often to care for sick babies, but they tend to be more loyal employees.
The WIC program in the US spends twice a much per mother for formula as it does for food given to nursing mothers. If each WIC baby nursed for six months, the US government could save $450-$800 million in health and welfare costs.
Artificial feeding costs billions of dollars to governments, health care organizations, and families. In many countries, babies who aren't breastfed run the risk of increased death rates from illness, diluted formula, and unsafe water. Choosing not to breastfeed is often a life or death decision in developing countries.
I hope this information has given you something to think about if you are trying to decide whether or not to breastfeed your baby. If you have already made your decision, then congratulations. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
Personally, (and I am definitely not objective here because I have the six smartest, most beautiful and talented children on the face of the earth, all breastfed, of course), if I had to choose one advantage of breastfeeding, it would be the way you feel the first time your baby pulls off the breast in the middle of nursing and grins at you with milk drooling out the corner of his mouth while milk sprays everywhere, and then eagerly goes back to finish the feeding. That's a feeling that money just can't buy.
