Years after bullying, negative impact on a child's health may remain
The longer the period of time a child is bullied, the more severe and lasting the impact on a child's health, according to a new study from Boston Children's Hospital published online Feb. 17 in Pediatrics. The study is the first to examine the compounding effects of bullying from elementary school to high school.
"Our research shows that long-term bullying has a severe impact on a child's overall health, and that its negative effects can accumulate and get worse with time," says the study's first author Laura Bogart, PhD, from Boston Children's Division of General Pediatrics. "It reinforces the notion that more bullying intervention is needed, because the sooner we stop a child from being bullied, the less likely bullying is to have a lasting, damaging effect on his or her health down the road."
Bogart and the team collected data for the study by following a group of 4,297 children and adolescents from fifth to tenth grade. The researchers periodically interviewed them about their mental and physical health and their experience(s) with bullying.
The researchers found that bullying at any age was associated with worse mental and physical health, increased depressive symptoms and lower self-worth. Participants who experienced chronic bullying also reported increased difficulties in physical activities like walking, running or participating in sports. Those who experienced bullying in the past and were also experiencing bullying in the present showed the lowest health scores.
According to the authors, the study reinforces the importance of early intervention to stop bullying and to be aware of the need to intervene again, even if the bullying is not ongoing, to address the persistent effects. Bogart and colleagues are calling for increased research to better develop and clinically test bullying prevention and intervention methods.
"There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to addressing bullying," Bogart says. "But providing teachers, parents and clinicians with best-practices that are evidence-based could better assist those at the frontlines helping children cope with this serious problem and lessen the damage it causes."

PHPBuilder has another excerpt posted from the book "PHP 5 in Practice" from Sams Publishing. It takes a quick look at a method to simulate graphical charts with some XHTML and CSS tricks (and PHP's help).
When you need to present data in a chart on a web page, it is often worthwhile to generate graphical charts. This method is covered later in Section 18.4, "Creating a Graph/Chart Library"; however, sometimes for a quick chart CSS can suffice. Listing 9.4.1 presents a function that creates a visual chart of data using CSS and XHTML only.
You can find the code they're talking about for "Listing 9.4.1". They explain it briefly, but it's a quick "here's what it looks like" and less of a "here's the logic behind it" kind of post. Never the less, it's still quite useful.

I've been so tempted to wait until tomorrow to post another (award-winning blog) that ultimately turns out to be a cruel April Fool's joke but I cannot wait – I must opine!
According to the statistics, more and more people are reading this blog. That's pretty cool. Still, it seems that there are only a handful of people who actually then step up to comment on my thoughts or stories. I don't know what that means. I frankly wish there were hundreds of comments to my posts but I'm told that people generally are just too shy or too intimidated to chime in.
As the moderator of the threads, I try to be as objective as possible. Although I am firmly pro-choice, I have expressed certain concerns, reservations, etc. about the world of abortion. I am also not shy about complaining about the pro-choice organizations. I think I am blunt to a fault. Indeed, when I was a "public figure" in the abortion rights movement that bluntness got me into trouble on a nunber of occasions.
Since I am available and blunt, I am curious why we don't have more in-depth conversations about the actual abortion process. Whenever the opportunity has arisen, I have candidly talked about how abortions are performed and in what venue. I have made a number of rather interesting admissions on this blog and am anxious to answer anything else. But it just seems to me that the "debate" on our threads often degenerates into a series of nanny-nanny poo-poo comments or a game of "gotcha" designed to try to embarrass the other side. Indeed, I have been caught up in this silliness at times myself.
So, someone says she works at a crisis pregnancy center and some pro-choicers immediately respond by saying ALL cpcs are deceitful, that they intimidate women, that – and here's the big leap – they condone anti-abortion terrorism. People just sit in front of their computers and attack, attack, attack, barraging the opposition with persistent, inane questions or comments. Then, the pro-lifer comes back and attacks, attacks, attacks. I share my truly confusing feelings about former Senator Bob Packwood and pro-lifers see an opportunity to point out some hypocrisy on my part. Well, they're absolutely right – at times I am a hypocrite. I guess that's because I just don't always have the answers. So, sometimes I just don't know what the hell to say. Sue me!
In another part of my life, I run a Facebook page that poses the "political question of the day." I ask what people think about Libya, taxes, legalizing marijuana, etc. And 99 percent of the time, people just reply with a monosyllabic answer. It's
"yes" or "no" to them – that's it. They are just so right and the others are just so wrong. It is very, very rare when someone comes back and asks a follow up question to try to formulate a more educated position. No, we're just locked in, our feet are stuck in the ground, no one is gonna call me a wimp or, worse, a flip-flopper.
So it is that some pro-lifers will just continue standing outside an abortion clinic, yelling through a bullhorn at women entering the facility. As far as they are concerned, those women are about to murder their babies and it's their mission to stop them if possible. It's their way or the highway. I'm right and they are wrong. This dynamic is reflected throughout our society in so many venues. It is particularly evident in the Halls of Congress where absolutely nothing gets done because you're either right or wrong and I don't wanna hear what you have to say.
So, I wanna say that I welcome the participation of folks like "Mary" and "Rogie" to our threads. I have appreciated their willingness to opine and to listen. Sure they (and we) can all get a little testy but it is my hope that we can continue having a true dialogue and get away from the dueling invectives. My hope is that we can try to at least understand our opposition and base our positions on agreed-upon facts (not the "facts" spewed out by our national organizations that only benefit from the continuing abortion "war").
To that end, I stand ready to answer any question as best as I can about why I am pro-choice and what I know about the abortion process that is experienced by over one million women each year.

After reading 100+ comments on the chat just in the past 3 days of new people asking things that are already explained on both the "Advanced" and "Basic" tutorials, i came to the conclusion that maybe the UI ain't noob friendly enough and/or that it can be a bit confusing?
- For Instance on the #Top Right Corner# of the main screen(city screen) you get the "Banner" button, that shows the tutorials.
- Then in the bottom right u have the "?" button that displays the names of the different buildings on the City.
Would it not make more sense if the function of both buttons were the opposite? "?" for tutorials and "Banner" for Building names?

This is another worthwhile and well-done episode from the team that creates the Who Do you Think You Are? program on NBC.
My favorite part is seeing how proudly people react to discovering and sharing with relatives that they have actual family ties to historical places, historical events, and real historical figures, and in this case, to two of Tim's heroes.
It was interesting watching the story unfold leading up to being able to tell Tim that his hero George Washington knew Tim's ancestors, and another one of Tim's ancestors came to America with one of Elvis' ancestors.
I wonder how Tim and his family will react when they discover that, according to recorded history, they actually share ancestors with George Washington, Elvis Presley, General Patton, Reese Witherspoon, and many other well-known people?
The Family Forest® is now capable of generating a huge number of relationship charts connecting Tim and his children through common ancestors to most of the key people, places, and events in human history, as well as to many of Tim's entertainment collegues, and probably even more importantly, to Tim's fans and potential fans.

Reality Check: Jumbaco from Jack in the Box
Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot.
I like commercials for Jack in the Box way more than I like their food. The latest ad begins with a pitch for the "Jumbaco", which consists of a Jumbo Jack sandwiched between two tacos. It's not a real menu item—the ad-within-the-ad is a clever way to promote the Jumbo Deal (2 tacos, a cheeseburger, fries, and drink for $4.29), but even so, with the jingle stuck in my head, I got to thinking: maybe the Jumbaco could actually be good.
I had to find out.
What's New On Serious Eats
The real life version isn't nearly as pretty as on TV. A chunk of pale iceberg juts out one side, and the tacos look infinitely more sad. Eating it posed several challenges such as navigating the edges of the taco, which stuck off past the bun, and the sheer height of the burger, which required a slack jaw. I ate mine in the courtyard of my condo building, so there was also the fear of witnesses. Eating a double taco burger definitely requires privacy: it's best to consume it in secret, quickly, and then burn the evidence.
Still, despite the inevitable shame and messiness of attempting to eat three fast food items simultaneously, the Jumbaco was an improvement on the plain cheeseburger.
Cheeseburgers and tacos share a lot of the same core ingredients, so the flavors blended together well (with the exception of the pickle). This was probably helped by the fact that asked for mine without ketchup and onion. The taco did more for the burger than vice-versa. The shell added some texture, and the two extra slices of cheese and taco "meat" brought a touch of simulated Mexican flavor to the burger, which is pretty mono-texture and bland on its own. On the downside, you need about one napkin per bite, and under no circumstances should anyone ever look at the slimy meat paste inside the tacos.
I'm no marketing expert, but I figure there are two main target consumers for the Jumbaco: young boys who eat one on a dare, and those under the influence of appetite enhancing chemicals. Oh, and shameless food bloggers.
Adding it to the menu as a legitimate item would be too weird, but a burger with taco chips and some of that seasoned beef wouldn't be a terrible idea.

Give this quartet of new books a listen
- Armistead Maupin%27s %27Tales of the City%27 is read by splendidly actress Frances McDormand
- Hilary Mantel%27s %27Bring Up the Bodies%27 is read magnificently by Simon Vance
- An audio about the real Downton Abbey is from the Countess of Carnarvon
Bring Up the Bodies
Written by Hilary Mantel; read by Simon Vance
MacMillan Audio, unabridged (14 hours, 35 minutes)
**** out of four
Can one improve Hilary Mantel's tale of Tudor intrigue, Bring Up the Bodies, which has racked up both sales and awards? Well, yes, if you add Simon Vance's acclaimed voice. In an Audie-nominated performance, Vance doesn't simply narrate the Man Booker winner — he seems to inhabit the characters in Bodies, the sequel to Mantel's Wolf Hall. One moment, Vance channels Henry VIII's relentless fixer, the low-born Thomas Cromwell; then his voices transforms, capturing the bold, doomed Anne Boleyn, complete with a touch of an accent from her years at the French court. Vance also conveys the narcissistic petulance of King Henry VIII and the despair of his first wife, the dying Katherine of Aragon. Beyond perfection.
Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey
Written by the Countess of Carnarvon; read by Wanda McCaddon
Tantor, unabridged (7 hours, 32 minutes)
***½ out of four
In this charming and moving Audie-nominated audio, the current Countess of Carnarvon, Fiona, tells the story of Lady Almina and Highclere Castle, known to Anglophiles as TV's Downton Abbey. In 1895, Almina married the 5th Earl of Carnarvon (who later discovered King Tut's tomb with Howard Carter). The radiant 19-year-old bride came with a vast fortune and a touch of scandal. (Her adoring father, Alfred de Rothschild, never married her French mother.) Read by Wanda McCaddon with pep and an aristocratic British accent, the audio bubbles over with details about the Edwardian lush life — the flowers, the estates, the food, the clothes, the servants. It's almost lifestyle porn. Until World War I. With energy, imagination and her father's money, the pampered socialite transformed Highclere Castle as well as her London house into first-class, innovative private hospitals for wounded soldiers, saving lives and earning gratitude.
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
Written by Sheryl Sandberg; r ead by Elisa Donovan
Random House Audio, unabridged (6½ hours)
*** out of four
Even if you consider Facebook to be a privacy-snatching time suck, its COO, Sheryl Sandberg, is a female pathfinder in Silicon Valley. As a working mother of two, she's also a magnet for media attention. Witness the pre-publication hysteria surrounding the release of Lean In . Written by Sandberg and read by the appealing Elisa Donovan, it urges women to be less timid in the workplace. Which is not always easy to accomplish in corporate America today, notes Sandberg. In this interesting but scarcely revolutionary audio, Sandberg describes her meteoric rise and the various obstacles, sometimes internal, sometimes external, she has faced and overcome. Refreshingly, she doesn't pretend she's an average mom who works because she needs to put food on the table. Sandberg works because she wants to. And because her husband "leans in" at home, splitting parenting 50/50. Sandberg astutely notes that if past generations were naïve about the challenge of balancing work and family, many smart young women today are too practical, checking out from their careers before the first sonogram. (Warning: Donovan utters the F word: Feminist!)
Tales of the City: Book One
Written by Armistead Maupin; read by Frances McDormand; introduction by Rachel Maddow
Harper Audio, unabridged (7 hours, 39 minutes); on sale March 26
***½ out of four
Amistead Maupin's groundbreaking books about bohemian life in San Francisco are now available as unabridged audios. Actress Frances McDormand does a splendid job as she narrates the first, Tales of the City. First published in 1978, it opens as a young woman from the Midwest decides suddenly that the city by the bay is where she belongs. The interconnected stories provide a glimpse of the recent past (mood rings! pet rocks! disco!). They also paint an atmospheric portrait of a unique American city teeming with eccentrics back in its pre-Web days. McDormand's strong voice adapts to each character, young and old, male and female, straight and gay. HarperAudio is also releasing the five sequels on March 26: Cynthia Nixon (More Tales of the City); McDormand (Further Tales of the City); Alan Cumming (Babycakes); Nixon (Significant Others) and Eric McCormack (Sure of You).

|Romantic comedy involving a British businessman (Grant) unable to find a hotel room in Tokyo due to the crowds staying for the 1964 summer Olympic Games. He winds up renting a room from an Embassy secretary (Eggar) and then meets and invites Hutton, a member of the U.S. Olympic walking team, also without a place to stay, to share it with him. Grant then proceeds to play matchmaker, despite the fact that Eggar has a fiance. Grant's last film. Innocuous, unnecessary remake of "The More the Merrier."

WICHITA, Kan. (July 16, 2009) - U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe knows that his team must win at least one match against Netherlands in FIVB World League play this weekend in Wichita, Kan., to secure first place in Pool A and advance to the final round in Belgrade, Serbia.
But Knipe does not feel any pressure being in the driver's seat.
"What you want (in the last weekend of World League) is to have something to play for and have it in your control," Knipe said. "Our job is to take care of the things we can control."
The United States will do its best to keep things in its control when it plays Netherlands on July 17-18 (7 p.m. CT both nights) at Charles Koch Arena on the campus of Wichita State University. The United States leads Pool A with a 7-3 record. Netherlands is in third place at 4-6.
The United States is the defending World League champion.
While Netherlands cannot catch the U.S., it could play spoiler if it won both matches and Italy, which is in second at 6-4, wins both of its matches in China. The United States has a record of 22-31 against Netherlands since 1981.
Team USA opened World League by playing Netherlands in Rotterdam and fell in the first match, 0-3 (22-25, 19-25, 24-26). However, the U.S. came back to win the second match, 3-2 (25-16, 30-32, 25-17, 20-25, 15-6).
"First off, they played really well against us, especially on Night 1," Knipe said. "I thought we played a lot better Night 2. They have some guys who have some experience."
The Netherlands is led in scoring by 6-10 opposite Kay van Dijk who has 128 points on 116 kills, eight blocks and four aces. Outside hitter Robert Horstink is second with 110 points on 95 kills, six blocks and nine aces. Horstink is sixth among all spikers in World League.
Netherlands' Rob Bontje is seventh among all blockers with an average of 0.64 per set.
Team USA is being paced by outside hitter Sean Rooney who is fifth among all scorers with 158 points on 142 kills, 13 blocks and three aces. He is seventh among all spikers.
U.S. middle blocker David Lee is fourth among all blockers with an average of 0.74 per set.
The U.S. Men's Team will welcome captain and 2008 Olympian Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.) back to the team in Wichita. Setter Jonathan Winder (Irvine, Calif.) will travel with the team to Wichita for his first World League weekend.
Team USA will still be without the services of outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) who is recovering from illness. Outside hitter Jayson Jablonsky (Yorba Linda, Calif.) will not be with the team in Wichita as he is getting married this weekend.
Most members of the 2008 U.S. Men's Olympic Volleyball Team attended the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night, although the team was not nominated for an award. The show will be broadcast on ESPN on July 19.

Korea wins game, but Chinese Taipei advances
TAICHUNG, Taiwan — Korea defeated Chinese Taipei, 3-2, in a hotly contested first-round game, but its journey in the 2013 World Baseball Classic ended after it lost a tiebreaker. Chinese Taipei and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will now go on to play in the second round in Tokyo.
Chinese Taipei, the Netherlands and Korea were tied with two wins each after Tuesday's games in Pool B in Taichung. According to the official rule, the tie is broken based on head-to-head records or by ranking each team's Team Quality Balance (TQB). Based on TQB, Chinese Taipei emerged as the group leader, with the Netherlands taking second place.
TQB is the sum of runs scored divided by the number of innings played on offense, minus the number of runs allowed, divided by the number of innings played on defense. For purposes of determining TQB, only the scores from the games between the tied teams are to be used in the calculation.
It was a surprise that Korea, which reached the semifinal in the first Classic in 2006 and claimed second place in the 2009 event, did not qualify for the second round.
Chinese Taipei scored one run in both the third and fourth innings, then the game remained 2-0 in Taipei's favor until the eighth, when Korea overturned the game with three runs, including a two-run homer.
In the bottom of the eighth, former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Hung-Chih Kuo took over on the mound for Chinese Taipei. Kuo allowed a ground-rule double to Seung Yuop Lee.
Kuo seemed to have the situation under control after striking out Hyun-Soo Kim and inducing a lineout by Jun-Woo Jeon, but Jung-Ho Kang clubbed a two-run homer to put Korea up for good.
Korea needed to win by five runs or more against Chinese Taipei to advance, but was unable to do so. Since it was ahead, it forfeited its turn at bat in the ninth inning.
For Chinese Taipei, its two runs came about on superior baserunning and hitting by Dai-Kang Yang of Japan's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.
Yang led off the third inning with a single. Two outs later, Chih-Sheng Lin singled on a line drive to center. Jeon fumbled the ball, allowing the speedy Yang to score from first.
Yang was also the driving force behind Chinese Taipei's run in the fourth inning. Yen-Wen Kuo hit a two-out double to right field, then Yang singled him home.
In this tight contest, both sides missed some good opportunities to score.
In the top of the second, Korean starter Woo-Jun Chang walked Chinese Taipei's Szu-Chi Chou to open the inning. After a flyout, Chien-Ming Chang singled on a line drive to third, pushing Chou to second. However, Korea induced a flyout and a groundout to leave the game scoreless.
In the bottom of the third, Korea was unable to exploit shaky pitching by Taiwanese starter Yao-Hsun Yang. After two outs, Yang hit Yong-Kyu Lee with a pitch and walked Keun-Woo Jeong. After sustaining a minor finger injury, Yang then was replaced by Ching-Ming Wang, who got Seung-Yuop Lee to pop out to end the inning.
Korea similarly missed a chance in the fourth inning. After one out, Kim and Jeon hit consecutive singles. After a groundout, Min-Ho Kang walked to load the bases with two outs. But pinch-hitter Tae-Kyun Kim flied out to end the frame.
The strong defense of Taiwanese catcher Kao helped prevent Korea from scoring in the fifth. Jeong reached first on a fielding error, then attempted to score on a two-out single to center from Dae-Ho Lee. Center fielder Che-Hsuan Lin got the ball to second baseman Yen-Wen Kuo, who relayed it home, and Kao blocked the plate successfully.
The victory went to Korean reliever Won-Sam Jang, while Hung-Chih Kuo took the loss in front of a sellout crowd of 23,431.
Chinese Taipei began the first round by topping Australia, 4-1, and then conquered the Netherlands, 8-3, while allowing just a single hit.
Dai-Kang Yang was named Most Valuable Player of the first round. In addition to his outstanding performance against Korea, he scored the first run for Chinese Taipei against Australia and ripped a two-run homer against the Netherlands.
Chinese Taipei manager Chang-Heng Hsieh showed appreciation for his team moving on, but he acknowledged imperfections in the loss against Korea.
"Our players have worked hard to give their best in the three games in the first round," Hsieh said. "I would like to thank my team and hope that we will continue to perform well next."
"However, there are some regrets after tonight's game," he added. "Korea is a tough opponent … we have not done well against them in recent years. We will continue to improve ourselves, and hopefully one day we can surpass other strong teams in international competitions."
On the other hand, Korea tripped in the first game of the tournament, when it was blanked, 5-0, by the Dutch squad. It recovered somewhat when it toppled Australia, 6-0, but its power hitters began to get going too late against Taipei.
Korean manager Joong-Il Ryu apologized to fans for the team's failure.
"I am very disappointed by the outcome," Ryu said. "We reached the semifinal in the first Classic and final in the second, yet this time, we could not make it through the first round. I would like to say sorry to the Korean fans for the poor result."
Earlier Tuesday, the Netherlands secured a spot in the second round with a 4-1 win over Australia.
Chinese Taipei and the Netherlands will play in a group against Japan and Cuba in Tokyo, with games beginning on Friday.

Revised November 13, 2008
Bose takes pride in designing each product with the goal of providing the highest-accuracy musical performance possible in its price range. We strive to reproduce musical sounds as closely as possible to the original performance—and to avoid flashy sounds such as those associated with accentuated bass and treble frequencies.
Our reputation rests on our steadfast pursuit of this policy in researching, designing and building our products. We use only the highest quality parts and the latest assembly and quality control techniques to ensure the reliability and long life of our products.
Bose supports research that continually gives rise to new technologies for improving sound reproduction. When you purchase any product from Bose, we encourage you to compare it, as we do, to competitive products for musical accuracy. We believe this process will enhance your appreciation of the product you select.
Bose products purchased by consumers directly from Bose carry our limited warranty:
This warranty is extended only to the original end-use purchaser or the person receiving the product as a gift, and shall not be extended to any other person or transferee.
Unless a different warranty period is stated in the owner's guide provided with your Bose product, for a period of 1 year (2 years EU) [5 years for any non-powered speakers that may be incorporated into this product] from the date of retail purchase by the original end-use purchaser, Bose warrants that this product, when delivered to you in new condition, in original packaging, from a Bose authorized reseller and used in normal conditions, is free from any defects in manufacturing, materials and workmanship.
This warranty does not cover defects resulting from improper or unreasonable use or maintenance; failure to follow operating instructions; accident; excess moisture; insects; lightning; power surges; connections to improper voltage supply; unauthorized alteration or modification of original condition; damages caused by inadequate packing or shipping procedures; loss of, damage to or corruption of stored data; damages caused by use with non-Bose products; product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to operate in any country other than the country for which it was designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of products damaged by these modifications; and products purchased from unauthorized dealers.
During the warranty period, we will, at our sole option, repair or replace (using new or refurbished replacement parts) any defective parts within a reasonable period of time and free of charge.
Pay shipping, insurance or transportation charges from you to us, or any import fees, duties and taxes.
Return product, with proof of purchase from an authorized Bose dealer, using the following procedures:
- Contact the Bose organization in your country/region (visit Global.Bose.com for Bose contact information in your country/region) for specific return and shipping instructions;
- Label and ship the product, freight prepaid, to the address provided by the Bose organization in your country; and
- Place any necessary return authorization number prominently on the outside of the carton. Cartons not bearing a return authorization number, where required, will be refused.
This warranty is void if the label bearing the serial number has been removed or defaced.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you also may have other rights that vary from state to state or country to country. Some places do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
Try your Bose product risk free. We're so confident you'll be delighted with it, we give you 30 days* to make sure it's right for you. If, for any reason, you're not satisfied with your purchase from Bose, simply return it within the trial period for a full refund. That's the Bose performance guarantee.
*45 days for L1® systems.
The only way to be sure you're buying a genuine Bose product is to buy directly from Bose or a Bose authorized dealer. Bose products purchased by consumers directly from Bose or an authorized dealer, whether online, by telephone, from a catalog or in a store are genuine and carry the Bose limited warranty.
Buying from unauthorized dealers can be risky. Unless the dealer provides a receipt showing purchase from an authorized dealer, the products carry no warranty from Bose. Moreover, products purchased from unauthorized dealers may be counterfeit or stolen goods, and if you attempt to resell such products, you may be subject to significant civil liability and/or criminal penalties.
There are growing numbers of counterfeit products in the marketplace. Bose has become aware of sales of counterfeits of most types of Bose® headphones, including IE2, MIE2/MIE2i, SIE2/SIE2i, QuietComfort® 3 and 15, OE2/OE2i, AE2/AE2i, and Bluetooth® headsets, as well as SoundLink® Mini speakers and older model in-ear and on-ear headphones and QuietComfort 2 headphones by unauthorized sellers on popular auction and other e-commerce websites, and in flea markets. In some cases, sellers located in China claim to be selling genuine "OEM" headphones, but these products are fake. Typically, these products are sold at lower prices than those offered by Bose and its authorized dealers, but the prices are often not low enough to cause buyers to suspect that the products are counterfeit. The counterfeit products do not meet the high standards of performance found in genuine Bose products.
The counterfeit products and their packaging are extremely close in appearance to genuine Bose products, but they do not meet the high standards of performance found in genuine Bose products. Counterfeiters go to great lengths to make their products look like genuine products. They include warranty registration cards in the packaging, and apply serial numbers to the products that copy genuine Bose serial numbers to make them look authentic. They have even copied the hologram sticker that Bose applies to its products to assist us in identifying fake products. It is extremely difficult to distinguish fake products from the real ones. If you believe that you may have purchased counterfeit Bose products, we encourage you to contact firstname.lastname@example.com so that we may be able to assist you in determining whether the product is counterfeit.
Headphones and headsets are the Bose products that we have seen counterfeited most often, but we have also encountered counterfeit speakers, such as 101, 301, and 502A models, and, occasionally, the BOSE trademark is applied to products that are unlike any that we currently produce, such as karaoke microphones. In all cases, your best protection against buying fakes is to purchase from an authorized dealer.
- Buy direct from Bose, either online, by telephone or in Bose retail stores. Bose.com is the official Bose Corporation website for residents of the United States and its territories. If you wish to purchase a product now, be confident that you will receive a genuine Bose product.
- Look for the official Bose Authorized Dealer badge featured on some retailers' websites.* The badge links to a window explaining the advantages of buying from a Bose authorized dealer. The window's URL (in the address bar) should begin with "www.bose.com" to be valid.
- Contact us to inquire whether a dealer is authorized. If you reside in the US, call 1-800-999-2673, or email us. If you reside outside the US, click below to find your country's contact information. A Bose representative will check the name of the dealer or website from which you are considering a purchase and let you know whether it's an authorized Bose dealer.
If you would like to report a suspected counterfeit Bose product, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Bose appreciates your assistance in preventing the distribution of counterfeit products.

Bose Corporation is dedicated to delivering products through a direct supply chain that respects human rights and the dignity of human labor. Bose has adopted Business Ethics and Conduct Guidelines which require, among other things, that employees know, understand and abide by the laws of the countries in which Bose operates. Bose will not knowingly do business with direct suppliers that treat workers improperly or unlawfully, including, without limitation, those that engage in human trafficking, child labor, slavery or other unlawful employment practices. By contract, Bose requires that its suppliers comply with all applicable laws including those prohibiting the use of slavery or human trafficking or other forced labor in the production of goods and services supplied to the company.
In addition, Bose is developing a training program for its employees and managers to help them identify warning signs for human trafficking and/or slavery in its direct supply chain, and steps they can take in working with suppliers to reduce the possibility that Bose Corporation is contracting with businesses that treat employees improperly or unlawfully. Bose does not currently engage in additional steps to verify the direct supply chain to evaluate and address the risks of human trafficking and/or slavery, nor does the company audit its suppliers to determine whether they are engaging in human trafficking and/or slavery.
Bose employees are expected to abide by all laws of the countries in which Bose does business, including those governing human trafficking and/or slavery. If an employee believes that the Business Ethics and Conduct Guidelines may have been violated, he or she must report that violation to Bose management. Bose will investigate any reports of human trafficking and slavery in its direct supply chain, and take appropriate action to remedy the situation. Any employee that knowingly contracts with such a supplier will be subject to discipline, which may include termination. Bose is committed to making a strong positive contribution to the societies and people served by the company and its employees.

Many from the GMG community may be familiar with FOB Anne Kennedy through the lovely photos she submits and by her always kind and thoughtful comments she contributes. Recently I subscribed to her blog Haddock and Dill, a simply fascinating personal memoir gleaned from diary accounts and a cache of letters and notes between Anne's mother, Bonnie Belshe, and Bonnie's parents (Anne's grandparents).
Currently Anne is posting about her family's life in post-war Japan; I believe the time period is roughly 1953-1954. Upon their return from Japan, Bonnie wrote a book about their journey to Japan titled Dragon-fly Land: Japan.
"…Each one has its own special feature which attracts both Japanese and foreign visitors. Some of these old buildings contain famous paintings or wood carvings enriched with gold. Others are noted for their cherry trees or gardens which are unusual in that they have no flowers in them. The gardens are made of sand, rocks and moss." ~ Excerpt from Dragon-fly Land: Japan, by Bonie Belshe, 1955.
Harvested Root Vegetable– Ed note: looks like daikon?
I am thoroughly enjoying the wealth of beautiful snapshots of Japanese landscapes and post war culture, and especially the collection of photographs of everyday life; with photos of rice fields and vegetables, wildflowers and children gathering fruits beneath a gingko trees, woodblock prints, fascinating recipes, and lovely brush and ink illustrations painted by Bonnie.
"We have been taking walks up into the mountains. We all love the walks and you can see for miles in all directions. There are several old air raid shelters left in the mountains–dark, damp tunnels. They make me shudder to look at them. From the top of the mountains we can see Kobe in one direction, Osaka the other direction & the ocean all in front of us with big ships anchored in the docks. The goldenrod is beautiful here–taller than B–and each time we walk we find some different flower." Bonnie Belshe
Ed note: I am struck by how similar this species of Japanese goldenrod looks to our native Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens), with thick waxy leaves, large flowers, and in its height.
"I wish you could have one of these maple trees for your yard. Some of them are turning red now and they are simply scarlet. Japan has so much beauty. No matter how shabby a house or how small the garden there is always a clump of blooming flowers. Cosmos and dahlias are everywhere. Even the vegetable gardens are beautiful–rows so straight and never a weed." Bonnie Belshe
Adorable Photo of Anne and her Brother Bobby
"Bathing is a special event to the Japanese whether it is done at home or at a resort. The body is washed clean before one gets into the bathtub. Then the bather gets into the water and soaks for a long time. It is a way of relaxing the body as well as a way of getting warm since Japanese homes have very little heat even in the winter."
~ Excerpt from Dragon-fly Land: Japan, by Bonie Belshe, 1955.
