"Perfect Peak District base"
Cosy Corner is a beautiful little cottage in an ideal location. I stayed for a short week and will certainly hope to come back. Made a great base to explore the Peak District and wasn't far from anything. Best of all was the walk to Chatsworth; you're on the estate within 10-15 minutes! Communication with Liz was great from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Thankyou for a lovely review.I am so pleased you had a lovely time.Hopefully look forward to preparing the cottage for you in the future.

"Great cottage for a short stay"
Really nicely done out cottage. Looks great, clean and definitely cosy!! Liz was great at getting in touch and we really appreciated the little things like the coffee waiting. If you're a couple looking for a place to stay look no further.
Thankyou for a lovely review.I am really pleased you enjoyed your stay and Cosy corner Cottage.

"Absolutely marvellous"
Cosy corner cottage is just that -cosy. Tucked away in quiet location with good pubs and restaurants - plenty to do and close to beautiful chatsworth estate. Owner has given attention to detail and created a lovely place to stay . It was lovely to get a txt on arrival day to say that cottage had been prepared for us and having tea / coffee/ milk/ biscuits & even wine on arrival (plus other items) was a lovely touch. The best thing I liked was the location - fantastic scenery and walks and plenty of places of interest. The least thing I liked was going home . Didn't notice any presence of a fish and chip shop but at least there was a spar shop close by which was very handy
Wow.What a lovely review.I am really pleased you enjoyed yourselves. The extra little touches were a treat to replace your last night you were having to miss and go home.Shame. Next time maybe I will replace the wine with a Bakewell Pudding or Fish and Chips!! Thankyou for choosing my cottage.

"Ideally situated for Peak District experience"
The cottage was perfect for our short break to visit our son at Sheffield University and take in some hill walking. The Cottage is lovely and has been designed and decorated to a very high standard. We will be returning as it is perfect for our needs. Baslow has good places to eat and drink a short walk away.

"Perfect retreat for a couple in a beautiful part of the world"
Booking the cottage was really easy, the online booking system allowed us to see exactly when the cottage was available and book without any delay . Communication from Liz was excellent and she was incredibly helpful offering to book restaurants for us and making recommendations. The cottage was a perfect blend of character features with modern conveniences and high end finishes that you may find in a hotel or boutique establishment. For the price that we paid it felt incredibly good value and it certainly lived up to it's name of providing us with a lovely cosy retreat for our weekend away without the kids! It was spotless when we arrived and had everything we could have wanted (including decent coffee which my husband was very thankful for on our arrival!). The local area is just lovely and there are a number of really very good restaurants in walking distance the village which meant we were spoiled for choice! We highly recommend Rowleys, Fischers, The Devonshire Arms and Hatties Tea Rooms (at the back of the Devonshire Arms). We were lucky enough to be staying the weekend of the Chatsworth Christmas Market and that was a lovely day out too. We also had lovely walks in Eyam and Bakewell. And for those of you who like an early morning walk Grindleford has a lovely walk which can be finished with a hearty breakfast at the Grindleford Station Cafe. We looked at a good number of cottages before we settled on Cosy Corner and we were absolutely delighted with our choice. It's in a perfect location for anyone wanting to escape the rush of busy lives for a few nights and it's exceptional value. Can not recommend enough.
Thankyou so much for your review.I am really pleased you enjoyed your break and for choosing Cosy Corner for such a special occasion. The fresh coffee will always be awaiting your return!

"Cosy, clean, comfortable and compact"
A great little end terrace cottage in a very quiet location, well away from the busy main road that goes through Baslow. Ideal for a couple who want a base from which to explore the Peak District, Chatsworth, Haddon Hall etc. Plenty of nearby options for eating and drinking, within easy walking distance, and a useful Spar corner shop 50 metres up the road. Fischer's restaurant at Baslow Hall is quite superb; but be prepared for an expensive night out if you go there. Rowleys is nearer, and not nearly so expensive.
Hi, That is fantastic.I am really pleased you had a lovely time in the cottage and the surrounding area. Thankyou very much for taking the time to do trip advisor. Kind regards Liz

This week, the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) is meeting in New Orleans. Although I am privileged to serve on the Executive Committee of the AALS Agricultural & Food Law Section, I was not able to attend this year's meeting. I am pleased to report, however, that the LL.M. Program is very well represented.
One of our alumni, Alison Peck is chair of the Agricultural & Food Law section, and she developed an excellent panel presentation for the conference, "Exploring the Links Between Food & Agriculture Policy and Obesity," co-sponsored by the Section on Law, Medicine & Health Care.
Alison is well regarded for her work in agricultural and food law. Last year at the AALS, I was pleased to present on a panel with Alison where she delivered an Update on USDA Regulation of Biotechnology. Alison has written on the difficulties associated with regulating GMOs including, Levelling the Playing Field in GMO Risk Assessment: Importers, Exporters, and the Limits of Science, 28 Boston Univ. Int'l L.J. (2010) and Toward an Advocacy Strategy for GMO Accountability, 21 Geo. Int'l Envtl. L. Rev. 37 (2008). And, last year she authored the interesting look at the history of food regulation, Revisiting the Tea Party: The History of Regulating Food Consumption in America, 80 UMKC L. Rev. 1 (2011). Her outreach work includes presenting at the West Virginia Farm to Schools Conference, Morgantown, WV on Giving Geographic Preference for Local Foods.
The panel presentation this year will feature professors Richard A. Daynard from Northeastern University School of Law, Emily Broad Leib, Harvard Law School, Lindsay F. Wiley from American University, Washington College of Law, and Pamela A. Vesilind, an LL.M. candidate in this year's class.
20th Annual Animal Law Conference at Lewis & Clark Law School, and her work in progress includes The Humane Methods of Slaughter Act is Unconstitutional, but That's Not a Bad Thing.
Articles from this AALS section presentation will be published in the Spring 2013 issue of the University of Arkansas School of Law Journal of Food Law & Policy.

So your kitten is now a juvenile or young adult, what is next?
By Claude West (Cat Man)
Young Cats: as mentioned in the previous blog for kittens, a young cat is very impressionable and now is the time to train them. If your cat is a bit high strung or stubborn then behavior modification techniques at this age work well. Some of the training needs usually revolve around the kitchen counter and dining table and one of the best techniques is positive reinforcement (snacks) given only when they get off or stay on the floor.
Here is a wonderful video providing the example of using positive reinforcement as a training technique.
This may require several steps for example from the table (no snack) to your lap or chair (yes snack) and work it until kitty transitions all the way down to the floor. Of course, they must also learn the negative reinforcement that is a loud noise and the word no. I prefer this when they are kittens but you may be adopting a juvenile or young adult.

by Keys, Alicia
Publisher:Berkley Trade
The long-awaited songbook of poems and lyrics, penned by one of the most acclaimed music artists of her time, Alicia Keys, is finally here for her throngs of fans. When she burst onto the scene, Alicia's years of intensive classical piano study and musical schooling paid off with over 12 million copies of her two albums sold, a huge international fan base, and an arena tour with female musical contemporaries, Beyoncé and Missy Elliot. Her talent has been rewarded with nine Grammy Awards (including Best New Artist), four American Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, a Billboard Award, and two Soul Train Awards.
Though Alicia has been very vocal through her career, there were always "delicate thoughts" that she never before imagined she'd share with anyone else-until now. Alicia Keys opens the journals and notebooks that she has kept throughout her life, documenting her growth as a person, a woman, and an artist, and reveals her heart to her fans in return for all the love they have shown to her and her music.

Board secures $1.5 million loan for upgrade.
During a brief meeting of the Macon County Board of Commissioners Tuesday, August 14, commissioners voted to finance the new computers that will bring the school system's technology up-to-date.
Originally commissioners were going to pay for the $1.5 million upgrade out of the county's fund balance for this fiscal year, but after county attorney Chester Jones and finance director Lori Hall explored financing options, commissioners decided to break the payments up over two fiscal years.

OPP: Should I Stay With Pregnant Girlfriend?
by Slacker and Steve
posted Aug 7 2012 4:44PM
His girlfriend made a mistake and now wants his help dealing with it…and it's something that could impact the rest of his life!
Yi! My girlfriend and I had a fight in late June. She hooked up with a guy and got pregnant following a one-night stand. We got back together before she found out she was pregnant. She wants us to raise the child. I love my girl, but am torn over what to do? HELP!
Slacker says they talked to this guy (who wishes to remain anonymous) and today's OPP sees this as an accident, like they need to just pick up the pieces and move on. He feels he needs to be the bigger man and raise the child as if it were his own, but he's genuinely torn. Steve can't believe this guy is even writing in, but points out that his relationship with the girlfriend is now permanently fractured. Even if he does take on the burden of this child, if they were to have a child together in the future, would the first child (his adopted child) at some point feel different or lesser than the second (his biological child)? What about when times get tough and he wants to jump ship...and can because it isn't really his kid? Basically, what Slacker and Steve boil it down to is this: is being with the person you love worth taking on a situation of this gravity?
This is a tricky one, and it's easy to make assumptions especially without all the details (how long they were together before they broke up, etc.). I think, as a few others on Facebook pointed out, if he really loves her and is committed to this relationship he will stay. Yes, at times it will be difficult, but if they are meant to be together then they will work it out. However, if he's really that torn then maybe it's a sign that he needs to end it. In short, if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be and he needs to follow his instincts.
What would you do if you were put in our OPP's shoes? Would you be able to ask something this enormous of a guy?
Until next time,

There seems to be room in the sandbox for lots of people to play.
Recent recesses have seen the NLRB dominate the discourse over the do's and don'ts when it comes to social media and employment law. But another federal body wants to come and play too.
The EEOC, responsible for enforcing all Title VII obligations, recently held an open meeting to discuss how the use of social media by employers, employees, and applicants may implicate equal employment opportunity laws. According to an EEOC press release, Chair Jacqueline Berrien noted that "[t]he increasing use of social media in the 21st century workplace presents new opportunities as well as questions and concerns. . . . This meeting has helped the EEOC understand how social media is being used in the employment context and what impact it may have on the laws we enforce and on our mission to stop and remedy discriminatory practices in the workplace."
Among the highlights gleaned from the open meeting:
Employer Take Away: What should you as an employer take away from this development?
There will be public comments submitted to the EEOC in response to its open forum, and more than likely some guidance will eventually be issued by the EEOC to help employers navigate many of these issues. Until then, your company would be wise to continue to stay ahead of the curve in how it implements its employment policies and practices, and not end up in the corner crying because the federal government threw sand in its eyes.

To determine possible reasons for these associations, the researchers performed statistical analyses of pathways linking family support and neighborhood problems to asthma symptoms and lung function. They found that family support and asthma outcomes were linked via inflammation, but not behaviors. That is, low levels of family support were associated with greater inflammation, and, in turn, greater inflammation was associated with poorer asthma outcomes. In contrast, family support did not appear to change childrens behaviors.
Neighborhood problems and asthma symptoms were linked through behavioral pathways, but not through inflammation. The more problematic neighborhoods were associated with greater rates of child smoking and exposure to smoke. In turn, smoking was associated with poorer asthma outcomes. In contrast, neighborhood characteristics did not appear to change childrens inflammatory profiles.
Poor family relations may foster psychological experiences with direct physiologic consequences, whereas problematic neighborhoods may operate by providing role models for maladaptive behaviors, wrote Dr. Chen.
Interestingly, peer group support had no significant effects on asthma symptoms or lung function. These findings suggest that among children with asthma, family and ones neighborhood play a more important role in asthma morbidity than do peers.
Dr. Chen noted that the study group was small and that the cross-sectional design of the study precluded drawing a direct causal relationship, stressing that more research is necessary before drawing any definitive conclusions. If these findings are confirmed in future research, however, they could have important implications for asthma interventions. For example, interventions that target family interaction patterns may help improve childrens asthma by altering biological profiles. The neighborhood effects suggest the potential utilit

Well contructed lamp Stephen from Basking Ridge, NJ on 09/22/2014 – Verified Buyer
Other than the plastic diffuser and the post being twice as thin as you would expect, the lamp is study and made well. All in all I guess having a plastic diffuser is better than a heavy glass one that would shatter if it ever go knocked over. Local chain stores had options that were around $30, but they were very poorly made and looked cheap. It's worth paying at least $50 for one that will last.

Working great! Anonymous from New Jersey on 08/12/2014 – Verified Buyer
It's a good quality lamp and is working out just great so far. There's nothing that stands out as being disappointing. Overall it was a good purchase and just what we were expecting.

Lamp was cheap and is quite flimsy Debi from Edmonds, WA on 06/24/2015 – Verified Buyer
We bought 2 of these lights. The price was very low. The product is pretty cheap. Light weight and flimsy. Would recommend this product for an area that gets very little traffic. If anyone bumps the lamp, the threads on the middle post easily unlock. Pros: price Cons: middle section threads unlock easily. Plastic top is quite light weight.

Much ado about nothing Harrassed to Write a Review from USA on 10/15/2009 – Verified Buyer
I ordered black lamps, but they sent me a silvery/metallic color instead. I have bought similar lamps for years, but this one was way more expensive than what I've had in the past--and not as good looking. The on/off switch looks like it will break very soon, though I'm very careful with it.

Awesome food. Great service. We would eat there every week if we lived nearby. We are making plans to have a large family due there in December. It will be worth the effort and the wait. Two months away.
Good Pub food. Had 2 meals in 2 days - Elk Burger was great with a kickass sauce. On a good day, use the patio, a much better place to sit and eat than the dark inside. If you have to sit indoors, ask for the seating upstairs. Second meal was a Pho Lemongrass Chicken noodle broth which was full...
Love this restaurant for burgers and chips. The best in Canmore by far. It's not cheap but great for family and friends.
Every time we go to Canmore we have to visit the Paw!.. The food is excellent and the selection of beers is outstanding.
We did a tour of the brewery down the road then came here for lunch! The brewery was FANTASTIC! the restaurant was good, service was a little slow but it was busy.
Decent meal. Tried the flight of beer. Was real nice to be able to try all beers from their brewery. Service was decent. They left the front door open all night. We were seated upstairs and it was freezing!
My wife had been here once before and loved it. She had had the Bison burger last time, but unfortunately it was not on the menu this time. I believe they have seasonal items. The beer they brew is amazing according to her. Raspberry ale is her go to. I dont drink so opted for the homemade black cherry soda....
Went in just for a drink service was intense we were asked four times if we wanted more to drink it was so annoying and intrusive did not try the food we thought about it and declined because of the hastle also very loud rock music!
my daughter had mentioned this restaurant to me and she wanted all of us to go and try it . so we did and it was very good . they make there own soda pop . my daughter has orange soda pop and my son had cherry soda pop and i had a root beer. that was our main purpose...

Anne Hathaway's Ex Raffaello Follieri Gets Released From Prison
On Friday, Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke told the Huffington Post Follieri was released from a prison in Loretto, 80 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa,. and transferred to immigration authorities.
The Italian entrepreneur, who was still dating the Devil Wears Prada star at the time of his arrest, was jailed in 2008 after stealing more than $3.6 million from investors. During his trial, Hathaway broke things off with Follieri after her private journals were seized by the FBI for investigation. No charges were ever made against the actress.
Hathaway, 29, is currently engaged to The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning actor Adam Shulman. The couple has been dating for three years.

CORAL GABLES, FLA. (AP) - When Florida State and Miami play Saturday night, it'll be like old times.
No. 1 vs. No. 2.
OK, not in the national polls. But when it comes to sacks and tackles for loss this season, the Hurricanes and Seminoles are ranked 1-2 in each of those departments _ the biggest reasons why the Sunshine State rivals are much better defensively so far in 2010 than they've been in recent years.
The last three meetings between the teams have been shootouts, with a combined 218 points. Saturday's 55th renewal of the rivalry could seem much different.
"They're getting it," said Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher, who'll lead No. 23 Florida State against No. 13 Miami for the first time after 3 1/2 decades of Bobby Bowden matching wits with the Hurricanes. "They're understanding it. They're buying into what we're trying to do, and they're hungry for success, and they're playing well."
Real well, actually.
Since getting embarrassed 47-17 at Oklahoma in Week 2, Florida State (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won its last three games by a combined count of 99-24.
The Seminoles have given up a paltry total of 204 rushing yards in those games; they have two players, Chris Thompson (235) and Jermaine Thomas (219) with more than that by themselves over the span.
Given that, Miami (3-1, 1-0) knows it will have little room for error.
"This is a game where second-and-8, second-and-9, that'll be great," Miami coach Randy Shannon said. "Getting into second-and-15, third-and-12, that won't be so great. Any time you get a positive play, and both teams would say this, that's a good thing when you're talking about Florida State and Miami."
A year ago, Florida State's defense was porous, ranked 108th natioanlly in terms of yardage allowed. So far in 2010, they're 21st _ just nine spots behind Miami. The Hurricanes are giving up 266.8 yards per game, while Florida State is yielding 293.4 per outing.
Where the teams are truly excelling, however, is in the attack game.
Florida State leads the nation in sacks, averaging 5.0 per game. Miami is second on that list at 4.3 per game. And in tackles for loss, their spots are reversed: Miami is No. 1 at 10.5 per game, Florida State is No. 2 with 9.4.
So remember those 37-29, 41-39 and 38-34 games of the last three years?
This one might not shape up the same way.

Photos from ChildFund's offices in Bolivia, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Mexico and Timor-Leste
In the lobby of ChildFund's international headquarters, we don't have your typical office décor. Instead, we have a sparsely furnished Kenyan classroom, a world map mural with paper dolls holding hands, and homemade toys collected from around the world. A lot of the toys are made with what some people might call trash: used plastic bottles, twine and bits of rubber and metal. But the toys themselves are not junk and are often prized by the children who made and played with them.
In these pictures below, you'll see the ingenuity and creativity of children who play with what they have — animals, traditional games and toys made from available materials.
By Rashmi Kulkarni, ChildFund India
Raimani lives with her family in Tangiri, a small village in India. She has three sisters and one brother, and is in the 8th grade. Not long ago, she wasn't sure if she would be able to keep going to school. She used to walk more than four miles every day to get to class, often alone, which wasn't very safe. Sometimes she was late, or she just didn't make it to school at all. Her grades suffered, and, because her parents couldn't afford transportation for her, she considered dropping out altogether.
But thanks to ChildFund's Dream Bike program, things have improved for Raimani. Now, she regularly attends school, arriving on time and with plenty of energy, and her performance has dramatically improved. She no longer has to walk to school, which allows her time to invest in her studies. Her siblings are also attending school more regularly because Raimani gives them rides on her bike, too. Having a bike also enables Raimani to participate in club meetings and other events organized by ChildFund and our local partner organization in Tangiri.
"I am very happy my daughter received a bicycle," Raimani's mother says. "It has turned out to be very useful as my other children can also use it to go to school. The gift of a bicycle has ensured that Raimani can continue her education. We are very thankful to ChildFund."
If you would like to make a girl's dream of an education come true, consider giving the gift of a Dream Bike today.

Five months after the launch of ChildFund India's Books, My Friends campaign, we're learning more about the children who are getting their first chance to own books and read for pleasure.
This spring, ChildFund India and its campaign partner, Macmillan Education, conducted a baseline assessment of 1,200 children across 15 Indian states, to understand their reading abilities. About 40,000 children have received books and bags since December through the Books, My Friends program.
The analysis showed that reading ability improved with age, although far too many children still can't read. In the group of 6- to 8-year-olds tested, 66.2 percent were not able to read at all, while 44.8 percent of 11- and 12-year-olds and 29 percent of 13- and 14-year-olds were illiterate. Geography mattered as well, with higher literacy rates in the states of Delhi, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, while Rajasthan, Jharkand and Chhattisgarh had lower rates.
Pooja, 14, who lives in a village in Andhra Pradesh, was able to read at the level of an 8- or 9-year-old when she received her books in December.
"I wasn't sure if I'd be able to read these books," she says. Also, most of her time was spent in studying her textbooks or attending classes, so Pooja preferred to get away from books during her leisure time.
But because some of the books she received were in her local language, Telugu, they piqued her interest. Soon, she was enjoying them, and she moved on to the other books in her bag, which were in English. That presented an obstacle, since English is harder for Pooja to read.
With a smile on her face, Pooja says, "My school coordinator has helped me a lot in improving my English reading ability. She would patiently sit with me, make me read these story books and correct me whenever I went wrong. And as soon as I started understanding the stories, I started enjoying them and wanted to read more."
As a result, Pooja has joined a group of other students who discuss their books.
"This campaign has really helped me make new friends," she says. "All the students who have received these books have formed a group, and during weekends, all of us sit together to read these books and enjoy chatting with each other. The illustrations in these books make the reading all more interesting. I'm really grateful to ChildFund for giving me these books. Because of this campaign, I've made this extra effort to read, and today I can read an entire sentence in English without faltering."
Reading is an important source of knowledge, happiness, pleasure and even courage. It opens your mind and transports you virtually into newer worlds. It develops your brain and helps in communicating and sharing ideas, and therefore is essential for advancement and development of any society.
Read Rashmi Kulkarni's first story about Books, My Friends.
By Rashmi Kulkarni, ChildFund India
Last December, ChildFund India launched a nationwide campaign called Books, My Friends to provide bags full of age-appropriate books for 115,000 children ages 6 to 14 across India. The goal of the project is to make reading fun for children while helping them improve their reading, comprehension and learning abilities. We hope to create a love of reading that continues through adulthood.
In India, we work with children who live in rural villages and urban slums, and lack of education is a big concern everywhere. Many children living in poverty can't read at grade level and often don't have access to books at home. In rural communities, children are often limited to textbooks printed on poor-quality paper. Many parents are barely literate, so a culture of reading has not yet taken hold. Without strong reading comprehension, children can't excel in school.
To address this situation, ChildFund India started the Reading Improvement Program, our flagship education initiative, and the Books, My Friends campaign, which encourages students to read for pleasure.
Shreelakshmi, a seventh-grader from the southwestern state of Karnataka, received a reading bag in December during the launch of Books, My Friends. She had a chance to meet Anil Kumble, a world-renowned cricket captain and major sports celebrity in India.
Shreelakshmi recalls the meeting fondly: "The experience of receiving books from Anil Kumble is still fresh in my mind. He and the ChildFund team spoke with us freely and inspired us to read more books. I am very grateful to ChildFund for giving me this opportunity," she says, a smile spreading across her face.
Shreelakshmi received 17 books, and she's already read many of them. Her favorite was Kadhakalu Maha Nagara, about a girl who had no one to read a story to her. Finally, she finds one person who starts telling stories to her daily. Slowly, other children start joining her to listen.
"I, too, like stories, and my brother also sometimes reads them to me," Shreelakshmi says.
Since most of her neighborhood friends also have received reading bags, they enjoy reading and discussing books together.
Parents say it's great for their children to have something constructive to do with their time, and Shreelakshmi's teacher adds that the habit of reading appears to be taking hold, just a few months into the project.
Watch this space for another story soon about Books, My Friends and the Reading Improvement Program.

Pictures often communicate information more efficiently than words do (hence the famous adage), and that holds true in a small classroom in western India, where children are discovering the alphabet, animals, fruits and vegetables through paintings and pictures.
"Earlier, I could not tell the difference between a cabbage and a cauliflower. Now, I know all the fruits and vegetables that we eat," says 4-year-old Vaishnavi, one of the 30 children enrolled in an Early Childhood Development (ECD) center in the Raigad district of Maharashtra state, where ChildFund works in 43 rural villages. "Cauliflower is my favorite vegetable, and it contains many vitamins," she adds.
Vaishnavi's best friend, Ashok, is more interested in animals, particularly lions. He explains that the lion is the king of the jungle. "You know, a lion won't kill other animals if it is not hungry," the preschooler says, recalling a story that his teacher told them the other day.
According to Dr. Virendra Kulkarni, program manager of PRIDE India, ChildFund's local partner organization in this area, young children explore visual art with both a creative and a scientific eye.
"Through art, they not only identify objects and concepts clearly, they try to explore everything related to them," he explains. "Wall paintings are one of the best ways to make children know many things through visual expression. Our role is to provide them with materials and inspiration, then to stand back and let them go."
Shanta Ghatge, a tutor at the ECD center, agrees: "Wall paintings, posters and other wall decorations not only make the classrooms look great, but they also make learning easy for children and remind them of concepts.
"We cannot just talk all the time in class," she adds. "Children need to be stimulated in their learning, and we need such wall paintings, posters and other teaching aids to make their learning interesting."
Ghatge, who has been an ECD teacher in the area for more than 20 years, says she follows a curriculum adopted by ChildFund to teach the preschoolers, and their routine includes examining paintings, writing, singing, storytelling, drawing and painting.
"Although the children like almost all the activities, the most favorite for them has been creating their own art," Ghatge says. "I often give out drawing sheets and watercolors to them and ask them to make some art. They just love this activity."
Children need to be stimulated in their learning, and we need such wall paintings, posters and other teaching aids to make their learning interesting.
Research has shown that participating in art, music and storytelling activities helps children develop language, mathematics and social skills. "These essential activities can help the young brain develop to its fullest capacity," Dr. Kulkarni says. "In all our ECD centers, we use learning methods that are recognized as best practices for preschoolers.
"One of them is using rhythm to help children develop patterning abilities and make relationships between the rhythm, beat and words," he explains. "There are a lot of local language rhymes that teachers use to improve children's patterning ability, while toys and other aids are used to improve their motor skills."
Ghatge points out that the children also have fun in the classroom. "Amidst all this noise, we certainly know one thing: These children are learning while enjoying their childhoods."
In this video, Mamta talks about how the Udaan scholarship available through ChildFund India has helped her overcome financial challenges to attend university to become a teacher. Her parents are illiterate, and many of her friends in her village dropped out to get married, so what she is doing is remarkable.
"I want to teach other girls to continue their educations so they'll be independent, like me, and have a good life," Mamta says. Video by Jake Lyell.
Reporting by ChildFund India
Last month, former Indian cricket team captain Anil Kumble helped launch a reading campaign with ChildFund India, presenting tote bags filled with books to children in Karnataka, a state in southwestern India. Each bag contained books appropriate for different ages, from 6 to 14, and the program aims to provide books to nearly 115,000 underserved students in 14 Indian states this year, with more to come in the next three years. ChildFund India also has plans to set up 30 community libraries throughout the country.
"If you want to get more knowledge, it is important to read books," Kumble said. "A culture of reading picked up at this age will continue forever." The campaign focuses on providing access to literature, creating a supportive environment and removing barriers to reading. To address poor electricity in rural areas, families will receive solar-powered lamps with chargers that can also be used for cell phones and flashlights.
By giving children the opportunity to own books other than school textbooks, it is hoped the "Books, My Friends" program will inspire them to become lifelong readers for fun and enjoyment.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, we asked our staff members in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia to collect stories from survivors.
By Saroj Kumar Pattnaik, ChildFund India
Bursts of rain and wind punctuate an otherwise pleasant day in India's Nagapattinum district. The streets are quiet in the village of Sampathottam, and it's time for lunch. The scent of a dry fish curry wafts through the air. Govindaraj, though, is impatient and waiting for the rain to stop.
"I don't like this rain, like the way I hate the sea," he says, visibly irritated. "Since the morning, I am waiting for this rain to stop. I will get the flowers from the market. Every year, I offer these flowers to my parents on their anniversary." This isn't a happy anniversary, though. It's the 10th anniversary of his parents' death and the Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed 230,000 lives in South Asia.
Govindaraj lost his parents, his elder brother and 10 other members of his family in the 2004 tsunami that killed more than 7,000 people in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu alone. He dusts off the photographs of his lost relatives.
"She is my mother, he is my father, and the other one is my elder brother," he says, pointing to the pictures. "They were among the 13 of my family members who became prey to that devastating tsunami and left me alone to die, every day remembering them. Anita is also an unfortunate child like me."
Thirteen-year-old Anita is Govindaraj's cousin, who also lost her parents in the tsunami and is now being taken care of by Govindaraj and his wife Malakodi.
"I am lucky to have survived nature's fury," Govindaraj says. "Actually, I was at my uncle's place where my wife and Anita were, when that killer tsunami hit our village. It destroyed everything, killed my entire family and that of Anita's," he says, turning his face toward the door to hide his tears.
Comforting him in her arms, Malakodi says,"It's God's decision. What can we do?
"We were fortunate enough that our village, Perumalpettai, is located a bit higher than the other villages. The tsunami water did come to our village but did not sweep us along. We survived. Only those who were near the shore at that time were killed or have gone missing," she says.
When asked what she remembers about that day, Anita says, "I cannot recall anything about what happened on that day and how the tsunami was. The only thing I know is that it killed my parents and deprived me from the fortune of having parents. "
"I have only photographs of my parents. I miss them the most when people talk about them and about the tsunami," she says, pointing at their pictures.
Elsewhere in the village, Mahesh and her husband Ashoghan and son Amrith survived the tsunami, but they were forever touched by the trauma of the day. A pregnant Mahesh was slammed into walls by the waves, and later she and her husband were confronted with scores of dead bodies while searching for their 3-year-old son in a shelter. They found him in a corner, alive but unable or unwilling to speak.
"It was a horrible situation out there," Ashoghan recalls. "We decided to move to another place, as the atmosphere was affecting both our body and soul, especially my son, who had not spoken a word since we found him. We crossed a backwater river stretch and moved out of the village and walked throughout the night to reach a nearby town."
Amrith, now 13, is sponsored through ChildFund and attends school. After the tsunami, he was able to spend time in a Child-Centered Space to help recover from the trauma. But the family still suffers hardship. Amrith's younger sister, Joyse, who was born a couple of months after the tsunami, has a nerve disorder that has prevented her from forming words or walking. She receives treatment for her condition, which is paid for by the government, her father says.
Near Govindaraj's home, K. Rathnavel, a leader of this community, is busy preparing for a commemoration event for the victims of the tsunami.
In between phone calls to other community members, he says, "I want to build a memorial dedicated to the people who lost their lives in the tsunami. I have yet to raise the required funds for it.
"But I am sure we will soon be able to erect a memorial in our village," he adds confidently.
When asked to tell his tsunami story, Rathnavel's confidence disappears.
"Whenever I see the ocean, I get reminded of how it took away hundreds of our fellow villagers – men, women and children alike," he says. Most who survived have become so scared of the sea that they have given up fishing, the ages-old occupation of the village, Rathnavel says.
"Most of us live in these houses allotted to us by the government as part of their rehabilitation plan for tsunami-affected people," he adds. "Our old place has now turned into a ghost village.
"We are simple human beings, not gods. You might escape from the place of nature's fury, but you cannot control it. Now, we don't take a chance. If there is any alert from the authorities, we simple abide and stay away from the sea."
According to K. Krishna Kumar of the AVVAI Village Welfare Society, ChildFund India's local partner in Nagapattinam district, "The 2004 tsunami taught us that resilience is the key to recover from difficulties and to bounce back. People in this region have seen unprecedented devastation and lost numerable lives but are now moving on. That's life, and we tell the affected communities to be strong and look forward."
"Today, a decade later, the important question before us is how prepared we are for another such disaster," he asks. "The disaster forced the development sector to focus on resilience in their programming efforts. As the largest NGO in this region, we played a coordinating role in the post-tsunami rehabilitation and reconstruction process in partnership with various funding agencies and governments," he continues.
Part of ChildFund's response to the disaster, carried out through local partners like AVVAI Village, was to build Child-Centered Spaces to help children recover from trauma in safe places. In this district, we and our partners also started a program to help people find other sources of income after losing their livelihoods.
"The tsunami should be remembered as a history of setbacks and tears," Kumar says. "But the motivation to go forward must be harnessed."
This week, we are marking the 10th anniversary of the Dec. 26, 2004, earthquake and tsunami, which devastated towns and villages in 14 Asian countries and claimed more than 230,000 lives. ChildFund works in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, which were all hit hard by the disaster. Saroj Pattnaik of ChildFund's national office in India asked several people who live in coastal regions devastated by the tsunami to share their memories of that day. You can read more about the tsunami this week on our blog and here on the ChildFund website.
"That was a Saturday morning, and we had just returned home after a daylong fishing trip. I was inside the bathroom when the tsunami struck our village. It was like the entire stretch of sea came rushing towards us. We all ran for safety, holding each other's hands, and found ourselves on a building that had been pushed up by the water. Suddenly, we realized that our younger son was missing. We searched all over, crossing through heaps of dead bodies, uprooted trees, broken boat parts and debris. Thoughts of his being no more had started killing us from inside. Five days passed, but we never stopped our search. And finally my wife found our son in a rescue center in another village. We were relieved. But other parents were not so lucky — their grief of missing their loved ones still continues." — K. Rathnavel, 41
"I hate the word 'tsunami.' For the past 10 years, I have been going to the sea every day and talking to it. I ask the sea, 'What did I do wrong? Why have you eliminated my entire family – just because I never liked to stay alone? Were you jealous of me just because I was the most loved and privileged one? You killed 13 of my family members and must be thinking that I am afraid of you. No. Actually, I hate you!' " — Govindaraj, 30
"It was terrifying, and I struggled to get our door open. While the water was gushing into our home, the door was pressed from outside by a wooden log. Suddenly, I realized my feet were not on the ground. I was floating. I forced myself out through the broken window. There was water everywhere, and it was perhaps going back to sea again. I still remember the power of the water. You couldn't hold yourself in one place. It was taking you where it wanted. I managed to cling to a concrete house. When the water receded, my mother and brother returned home from another building while my father returned after searching for us. But we could not find our younger sister, who had been playing outside with her friends." — Divya, 21
"When I hear the word 'tsunami,' dreadful pictures of the huge dark wave and the trail of devastation play in front of my eyes, and I start feeling the pain anew. It did not kill any of our family members, but it gave us lifelong suffering instead. I was very pregnant and was eager to welcome the new family member. But the tsunami water washed away our happiness. The strong current of the water swept me along and slammed me with some hard object. It was painful, but I managed to cling to a building wall and survived. Three months passed by, but there was no sign of any labor. Doctors advised me to go for an emergency C-section. I obliged, and my daughter Joyse was born. The joy of her birth, however, was cut short when we learned she was suffering from cerebral palsy, which left her dependent on others and suffering for her whole life. Watching her suffer kills us every day." — A. Mahesh, 31, pictured with Joyse, 9.
"I cannot recall anything that happened on that day and what the tsunami was like. But from what I have heard so far, I visualize a dark, huge wave that came rushing toward our village and devastated hundreds of families, including mine. I am told that my parents were killed in that disaster and I was left to be cared for by my aunt. I have only photographs of my parents. I miss them the most when people talk about them and about the tsunami." — Anitha, 14

Indian cuisine is noted for its samosas, curries, biryanis, vindaloos and kormas — rich, complex and savory dishes. ChildFund staff members at our International Office in Richmond, Va., went to an Indian restaurant for lunch recently, where we tried a variety of dishes, along with rice and bread (naan) and sauces, such as raita and chutney. A raita is a yogurt-based sauce that often includes cucumbers, fresh mint, pepper, coriander and cumin. It helps quench the fiery spices of some dishes. Chutney, a relish made of spices and fruits or vegetables, can be fresh, pickled, spicy or sweet. The word is derived from the Sanskrit word that means "to lick."
We're going to learn how to make a classic tomato-apricot chutney, which is sweet and spicy, a relish that would go well with northern Indian or even Persian cuisine. Eat it with any rice and sauce dish, like a korma or a masala, or flatbreads.
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh, grated ginger
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cardamom
¼ cloves
Butter or coconut oil
1 cup chopped, dried apricots
3 to 5 chopped tomatoes
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
Mix and sauté garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves in clarified butter or coconut oil for 1 minute. Add dried apricots, tomatoes, sea salt, honey and lime juice. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes, until apricots are soft and the chutney thickens.
Chill before serving. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or freeze, if you want to keep the chutney for longer periods.
This month, ChildFund's blog is celebrating the harvest and traditional foods of the countries where we work. On Fridays in October, we'll share recipes. If you try one, take a picture of your dish and share it with us on our Facebook page!

hey ITDO - at least NVAX is climbing out of the 60% haircut (unwarranted). This PPS is absurd but let's watch and see if the IBB/NBI recovers.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
BO, I was saying this was a good sign. The 2.5 year CF study in Europe/Canada already has proven safety so now that the cat is out of the bag on culture Conversions, this LAI/ATU connection in France enhances approval (IMHO). Maybe the "market" will get a clue now??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Either that is a coincidence (but the French are notorious for doubting) or he believes this "drug" is approvable (obviously safe).
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"Concert Pharmaceuticals price target raised to $28 from $18 at JMP Securities
JMP Securities hiked its price target on Concert after it achieved an $8M milestone from Celgene (CELG) based on Phase I data from CTP-730 for psoriatic arthritis and plaque psoriasis and presented positive Phase I single ascending dose data for CTP-656 at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference. JMP reiterates an Outperform rating on the shares."
Sentiment: Buy
INSM, AERI and RLYP are all under attack today. All three have upcoming catalysts. Seems planned and manipulated to get cheap shares.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Almost every day, the market seems to find any negative spin and plays off of it. Today (overall) is the awaited FED minutes. Now someone help me with a drop in the market on something we already know? What are the FED minutes going to tell us that is so "bad"? For Insmed to take such a haircut today (seems like scare tactics so far) is absolutely questionable (see AERI too). It will make the retail investors think something is wrong and sell to the vultures circling these stocks. At $17.43, and 230K shares already, what the %$#$ is going on?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
100% agree Dorian!!! "The attack on the sector will result in additional lobbying and possible SEC investigations."
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Agree with the longer term (IF the market becomes "fair") but Insmed has lost over 35% of its value in a little over 2 months. Also, this is about the overall BIO sentiment which most of us have holdings beyond Insmed.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not sure why the future's are down (China is up) but along with NASDAQ, the IBB is down again but with little volume. So, unless Insmed breaks away from the trend with BUYERS, we may have a tough time getting back to $19. Most BIOS w/o drugs on the market and positive news, have suffered needlessly this past month IMO.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sharoky could have MORE than doubled his money (last august at $11.25 or so) when we went over $24. So, he knows and or sees much more than what we have seen in value to-date. I am not a huge fan but if he did not sell any shares, he has to feel pretty assured that something good is coming.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I have the same issue (lost $150K on BIOs in last 2 weeks thx to the IBB crash). We should have seen a move upward yesterday due to Andrew Fein's assessment and Schwartz at Leerink but nothing happened. Also, we dropped below $17.50 today initially when the IBB dropped under 300 (again). Very disappointed but I don't see a problem with the "data" or our progress but could be wrong (IMHO). Anyone else???
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Blue - IBB still down 23% since its high. Somehow Insmed's PPS was "capped" after being pushed back under $18.50. There was no big volume and it looked more like accumulation at these lower prices versus selling to get out. We were set to lag (as were some other BIOs) the IBB by 1 or so %. Others (BIOs) were allowed to progress (see AERI and CNCE) not sure it makes any common sense. Perhaps (jad chime in) it was the mm's allowing shorts to cover???
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This is really positive "news" (thx BO) - the list is only 16 jobs so some others (looks to be the Frankfort job openings from March etc.) have been filled (or deleted).
Manager, Marketing - EU Commercialization Frankfurt, Germany
Director, Toxicology Research Bridgewater, NJ
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The IBB wreaks havoc on Insmed (and NVAX and CNCE and EGRX etc.). It seems the rules have changed where the financial analysts used to have some say in any stock's valuation. Now, unless they are downgrading/negative, they are ignored. Even good news is thrown out as being trivial in many cases. This stock (Insmed) should be over $20 today but it doesn't stand a chance against an IBB that hovers around 300.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I think this is what has most of us baffled. Many stocks have had good/positive news/upgrades which in most cases would bump the PPS up. But, what has happened in the past month, is "good" news is muted by the IBB sell off or shorts (sell the news?) or owners of short positions getting out before a catalyst(?). How do they get out with a profit in these cases? Something is really amiss here. Does anyone think they Insti's that bought at $20.25 have sold out? Especially now.......
Sentiment: Strong Buy
thx jad - I posted specifics
Leerink Partners recently hosted a Rare Disease Roundtable that included fireside chats with 24 biopharmaceutical companies. Following the event, analyst Joseph Schwartz released a report that included a list of 20 Outperform-rated names that attended the roundtable.
In addition to the specific names mentioned above, Leerink also sees potential upcoming catalysts for the following Outperform-rated names in the space:
•Auris Medical Holding AG (NASDAQ: EARS)
•Epizyme Inc (NASDAQ: EPZM)
•Fate Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: FATE)
•Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOLD)
•Insmed Incorporated (NASDAQ: INSM)
•ProQR Therapeutics NV (NASDAQ: PRQR)
•Uniqure NV (NASDAQ: QURE)
•Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ: RPTP)
•Retrophin Inc (NASDAQ: RTRX)
•SAGE Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: SAGE)
•Acceleron Pharma Inc (NASDAQ: XLRN)
•Zafgen Inc (NASDAQ: ZFGN)
•Zogenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZGNX)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
ITDO - agree and then (also) explain NVAX as well as Insmed. What has happened is the "hedgies" have used ANY (including Hillary) negative spin to force the IBB index down which then significatly lowers mostly ALL BIs that are a of that index. Eventually, they will buy back at a 25-30% discount. NVAX PPS is ridiculous but many BIOs are now in that boat.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Jesse, Normally I agree with you but HOW can Insmed overcome an IBB that is down over 5% (for no reason I can think of)? An IBB under 300 (25% cut) keeps the thumbs down on BIOs unless we get some buyers (big buyers that is). This is only today but even yesterday was a BIO bloodbath.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Someone besides PJ (not that this will help today):
"Insmed (NASDAQ:INSM) had its price objective raised by investment analysts at HC Wainwright from $30.00 to $35.00 in a research note issued to investors on Tuesday, Analyst Ratings Net reports. The firm presently has a "buy" rating on the biopharmaceutical company's stock. HC Wainwright's price target suggests a potential upside of 82.20% from the stock's previous close."
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Kenny is here!
Kenny, it seems when analysts are looking for upsets in the early rounds, they pick what ever team is playing Wisconsin. Why do the experts have such a hard time embracing Bo Ryan's teams?
They shorten the game, which makes the game always going to be a 2 or 3 possession game with their deliberate style on defense and offense. Most teams don't practice for that.
Can Nc state make a run in the ncaa tournament?
Well, I really thought this is where they'd be. This is one of my "sleeper" teams. They're very difficult to guard in their front court. I feel this is accurate.
Saying that, I don't think they can beat Kansas. I had them losing to Kansas.
Since your working with Coke Zero, what's your favorite kind of Coke?
I'm a Classic guy, man. I'm a Coke Classic kind of guy.
What do you think about Baylor's Brady Heslip? He is a clutch kid! NINE 3's in one game? That's THREEdiculous!
He's shooting the ball extremely well. He's probably the biggest reason they are where they are. He's the guy that I feel has kept them in the tournament.
Do you think we can blow Kentucky out? They're kinda overrated, don't you think?
Instead of trying to blow them out, you better try to slow them down. Keep the game in the 50s.
I've been seeing those pop-up ads during the tournament for Coke Zero. What can I win (and is there a site to go to if I'm not an instant winner?)? Also: how much more weight could Chuck lose if he started drinking Coke Zero?
Well, first thing you have to text to win. Then you watch those scores and text to win. You can win a trip to the 2013 Final Four, ultimate basketball prize, home entertainment makeovers. Those are just some of the prizes.
Kenny: How impressed were you with Lehigh and the way they were able to beat Duke, and played in the 1st half against Xavier?
I was very impressed. One of Duke's weaknesses is their big guys don't score particularly well. And CJ was able to match the guards for Duke.
How many of the sweet 16 teams did you pick in your bracket?
I picked 12.
My Final Four is still alive.
Who's you pick for Thursday night's all Ohio matchup between Cincy and OSU?
Wow! That is my toughest pick. I'm going with Ohio State, only because I've seen them play two more times. No other reason.
Who do you think will be the 2011-2012 National Champions in NCAA Men's College Basketball?
Well, I had picked North Carolina to win it all, however with Marshall's injury, it puts a question mark next to that.
Can the Jayhawks get past NCSTATE if they can do you think they have a real chance at beating UNC now that k.Marshals out?
Well, they'll have to go through the state of North Carolina to get there, huh? They're one of the most talented teams in the country for sure.
Which double digit seed remaining is most likely to make it to the Final 4?
NC State.
If MSU and Kentucky meet in the Final Four, is Coach Cal's team too strong for Tom Izzo's team, or can Sparty find a way to gut it out?
The one advantage that MSU has is they know how to slow the game down and make it a possession game, instead of a fast break game.
Why is it that people are putting UofL rather low in their rankings. I understand they are not the best team in the tourney but I think they are a little better than people think.
Interesting team. Last year, when UConn did what Louisville did, it was a national story, this year, no one's paying attention to it. Watch out for the Cardinals.
Any word on how long Marshall will be out for UNC?
The surgery was successful. We're all just playing it by ear now.
Who's your tournament MVP so far?
Wow. That's tough....But if I have to choose one, I would say, Draymond Green from MSU.
Do you prefer doing the college basketball shows, or Inside the NBA?
They're both different. I don't prefer one, they're just different. In the NBA we have more time to talk and joke around. We can do both, so it makes our job easier. With the tournament and so many games, we don't have that flexibility.
What upset was more suprising in your opinion? Missouri or Duke?
Missouri losing to Norfolk State.
Who do you have in the Final Four as of now?
My Final Four: MSU, OSU, Kentucky and UNC.
Who do you got winning the national title on your bracket? Let me guess, North Carolina right?
Yes, UNC. They're good, not great any more. They were great before the injury.
How does it feel to be the dad of a pop star?
Oh man! This is the most fun time I've had, so follow her at KaylaBrianna.com and @KaylaBriannaX.
Enjoy more Madness!
