В детстве конфеты такие белые большие продавались - зефир.
Одна коробка в руки.
А на Гаваях они сами из земли растут - ешь, сколько хочешь. |

Chaotic homes hamper child development
An association between disorganised, noisy and cramped homes and lower childhood intelligence has been observed before. But whether socio-economic status (SES), genetics or the environment itself is the cause has never been clear.

The results showed that the homes of wealthier and better-educated parents were slightly more organised. But after controlling for the large genetic contribution to intelligence*, the team found that chaos had an influence on cognitive skills independently of SES.

i wonder how it relates to family size, e.g. number of children, and etc. |

| Saint Francis Of Assisi: a prayer |
[Aug. 26th, 2004|08:12 pm] |
Lord, make me an
instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. |

| Shema Israel |
[Aug. 26th, 2004|08:23 pm] |
God, trustworthy King.
Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Blessed is the Name of His glorious kingdom for all
eternity.
You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart,
with all your soul and with all your resources. Let these matters that
I command you today be upon your heart. Teach them thoroughly to your
children and speak of them while you sit in your home, while you walk
on the way, when you retire and when you arise. Bind them as a sign
upon your arm and let them be tefillin between your eyes. And write
them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
And it will come to pass that if you continually hearken
to My mitzvot that I command you today, to love the Lord your God, and
to serve Him, with all your heart and with all your soul -- then I will
provide rain for your land in its proper time, the early and late
rains, that you may gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil. I
will provide grass in your field for your cattle and you will eat and
be satisfied.
Beware lest your heart be seduced and you
turn astray and serve gods of others and bow to them. Then the wrath of
God will blaze against you. He will restrain the heaven so there will be
no rain and the ground will not yield its produce. And you will swiftly
be banished from the goodly land which God gives you.
Place these words of Mine upon your heart
and upon your soul; bind them for a sign upon your arm and let them be
tefillin between your eyes. Teach them to your children, to discuss
them, while you sit in your home, while you walk on your way, when you
retire and when you arise. And write them on the doorposts of your house
and upon your gates. In order to prolong your days and the days of your
children upon the ground that God has sworn to your ancestors to give
them, like the days of the heaven on the earth.
