Abstract:
In Reply.— If all swimming were limited to pools that were always supervised by a lifeguard or competent adult, we would not have approximately 1,500 children drowning each year. The risk of drowning or near-drowning for a child with epilepsy is four times that of other children. The risks to children who have been seizure-free for 1 year are only minimally greater than for the general population if they have stable therapeutic anticonvulsant levels, are mentally normal, and are well supervised in the water.1

Abstract:
When we arrived in Vancouver at the start of our vacation, the tabloid headline at the newspaper stand caught our attention. “World’s Bravest Mom,” it shrieked. We stopped to read. The story was simple; it needed no journalistic embellishment. Dusk, August 19, 1996. Mrs. Cindy Parolin is horseback riding with her four children in Tulameen, in southern British Columbia’s Okanagan region. Without warning, a cougar springs out of the vegetation, hurtling at the neck of one of the horses. In the confusion, Steven Parolin, age six, falls off his horse and is seized by the cougar. Mrs. Parolin, armed only with a riding crop, jumps off her horse and challenges the cougar, which drops the bleeding child and springs at her. Ordering her other children to take their wounded brother and go for help, Mrs. Parolin confronts the cougar alone. By the time rescuers reach her an hour later, she is dying. The cat, shot soon afterward, was a small one, little more than sixty pounds. Adult male cougars can weigh as much as 200 pounds, we learn the next day from the BC Environment’s pamphlet entitled “Safety Guide to Cougars.” We are on our way to Garibaldi Provincial Park, where we plan to do some hiking, and have stopped in the park head-quarters for information. “Most British Columbians live all their lives without a glimpse of a cougar, much less a confrontation with one,” says the pamphlet, noting that five people have been killed by cougars in British Columbia in the past hundred years. (Actually, the number is now higher; cougar attacks have become increasingly common in the western United States and Canada in recent years.) “Seeing a cougar should be an exciting and rewarding experience, with both you and the cougar coming away unharmed.”However, the pamphlet notes, cougars seem to be attracted to children as prey, possibly because of “their high-pitched voices, small size, and erratic movements.” When hiking, “make enough noise to prevent surprising a cougar . . . carry a sturdy walking stick to be used as a weapon if necessary,” and “keep children close-at-hand and under control.”

Abstract:
Laxmanshastri practiced what he preached. For him and in his household, Untouchables were treated no differently than brahmins. Although the domestic staff essentially came from the Untouchable community, he and his wife, Satyavati, were sure to encourage their children to study and get formal college education. Throughout his life, he used his scholarship to focus on the heterodoxy of thought within Hinduism, and the wide spectrum of religious beliefs and practices within the Hindu fold. For him, that was the truth and with that, he set personal examples of not adhering to any dogma blindly, of not discriminating against any individual on the basis of his or her hereditary caste. As an ardent humanist, he presented evidence, providing innovative arguments in simple terms, and with courage, encouraged respectful dialog in a bid to transcend convention instead of bowing to it. Like Tagore, he was in every respect one of India’s renaissance men. His writings and thoughts had an enduring quality. He became one of the leading voices in the evolution of a free, secular, modern, and progressive India.

Abstract:
A funny thing happened to me on the road to affluence. I have talked about it with others often enough to discover that it is a common happening and an important one. But before you read any further, you should know that what you are about to encounter is presented as a middle-class problem—nobody dies in an unheated garret, nobody is thrown out on the street with their meager belongings, nobody is in prison as a birthright, nobody is caught in a drug runner’s crossfire. For all its bourgeois setting, however, my story is about the aspirations of our whole society; directly or indirectly it affects us all. What happened is that as I got more affluent, I didn’t feel any richer. Affluence, according to my Random House dictionary, is an “abundance of money, property, and other material goods.” Setting aside quibbles about what constitutes abundance, there is no doubt that I now have more money, property, and other material goods than I did, say, twenty-five years ago—especially if books count as material goods. So why don’t I feel wealthy? I can best explain by starting at what was forme the beginning. I grew up in a nice house in one of the better residential neighbor-hoods of Passaic, New Jersey, a city composed mostly of immigrants and their children and grandchildren. The town of Clifton, a more prosperous community, began one block over; you could tell you were leaving Passaic because there was a sign. (It was not until I went to camp in Maine that I realized that in other parts of the country there can be open space between towns.) Our house had wood siding, two stories plus an attic and basement, three bedrooms, and a garage in back. It had cost my parents $6,600 in the late 1930s—a good deal of money for a struggling young doctor who was helping to support his bankrupted parents. The property, narrow and moderately deep, amounted to about one-sixth of an acre.

Abstract:
I have been reading about the Lenape. It started as a kind of penance. Every day I pick up the newspaper and learn about different ethnic peoples who have been driven from their homeland by some other ethnic peoples or have been simply exterminated in place, a more lasting way of getting rid of them. One morning, while eating oatmeal and skimming over the news of the latest genocide in The New York Times, a thought occurred to me: Aren’t I lucky that this isn’t happening in New Jersey? Not that it couldn’t, but at the moment it seems quite unlikely. Why not? I wondered. Is it our democratic government that protects us? Our melting pot society? Then another answer came to mind. New Jersey has had its ethnic cleansing already, a very comprehensive one—the destruction of the Lenape. As a child I was taught in school about the Lenni Lenape Indians, who once lived in New Jersey and then didn’t. The teaching never went much farther than that; it was pretty superficial compared with what my children learned about Indians (but not about the Lenni Lenape) in elementary school. So I decided to remedy the defect in my education and bought the only book about the Lenni Lenape I could find, a scholarly paperback by Herbert C. Kraft called The Lenape: Archaeology, History, and Ethnography. I bought it out of guilt—as I said, a penance. Not guilt for what was done to the native people of New Jersey, which wasn’t my fault or even the fault of my ancestors, who arrived in America in the late nineteenth century, themselves victims of persecution. The guilt was be-cause of a feeling that to live in the New Jersey–New York–eastern Pennsylvania region—that is, Lenapehoking—without knowing anything about its prior residents was disrespectful; it was a dishonoring, even an obliteration of their memory. Because of its penitential and scholarly nature, I expected my reading to be dull; surprisingly, the book turned out to be fascinating.

Full text
Abstract:
My earliest memory—was I two? three?—is of a nurse or babysitter who was dressed in white and had a bad smell. When she came into my room, I would pretend to be asleep. She looked down at me (I could sense her presence), then, satisfied by my closed eyes and quiet, if shallow, breathing, would turn and leave the room. Soon her odor would go away, too, and I could breathe deeply again. This taught me a lesson of dubious value: when helpless in a situation, pretending can give you power. I, a small, weak child, had controlled the movements of an enormous, smelly adult. It was some time later, I suppose, when I learned that pretending usually doesn’t work. Although I can’t recall the time or place, I know that on one grim day of disillusionment and reckoning I discovered that when I closed my eyes I didn’t become invisible; I couldn’t transport bullies to distant, foul places by imagining them there or alter the course of unwelcome events by pretending they were otherwise. Healthy children come to know the difference between pretending that is relaxing, stabilizing, healing, necessary—we call it fantasy—and pretending that is dangerous. A hot fire burns, even if we pretend that it won’t. In our personal lives most (but not all) of us learn to instantly distinguish harmless from harmful pretending, so we do not pretend in away that endangers our lives or physical well-being. Strangely enough, society as a whole is a different story. For at least the past fifty years, probably longer, we have been working hard as a high-tech civilization to ignore the limits of safe pretending, even to blot them out of our collective memory. And the more obvious the warning signals, the more blatant our pretending has become. A few examples will make the point. The first example is genetic engineering. In the late 1950s, I was fortunate to have as one of my teachers a visiting professor from England, Francis Crick of Watson and Crick fame, who taught part of an upper-level biochemistry course on the structure of macromolecules, especially desoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.

Abstract:
I am the only person in my university building who wants no part of the university’s free e-mail and who does not surf the Internet, which makes me the last holdover from the days when conversations by voice, dusty books, and rectangular white envelopes with colored stamps in the upper right corner were our primary means of communication. Nevertheless, rumors of the new and wonderful electronic inventions reach me often—from my wife and children and especially from my students. Like the seven golden cities of Cibola, the Internet beckons; if I had the energy of Coronado, I would seek it out and master it. Being lazy, I sit in my office with nothing more modern than an automatic pencil, a telephone, and an aging Macintosh Centris equipped only with Microsoft Word 5.1,and think about what I am missing. I imagine the chat rooms, for instance, abuzz with scintillating conversations, the twenty-first century equivalent of the salon of Madame deStaël or that celebrated Oxford club where J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis read to each other from their latest manuscripts. I know that chat rooms are not really rooms, but in my mind I can see one clearly: the lustrous walnut paneling, the floor-to-ceiling mullioned windows framed by the thick pleats of burgundy velvet drapes, the comfortable arm chair supholstered in rich mahogany leather, and next to one of the chairs—my chair—a small Louis Quatorze table holding a Waterford snifter with a generous dollop of Napoleonic brandy. Sometimes the rooms are contemporary in style, with walls consisting of giant liquid-crystal sur-faces that shimmer with ever-changing, abstract splashes of color o bold, functional patterns of steel-like beams intricately linked, endlessly dissolving and reconnecting. In place of chairs there are convivial arrangements of very large, “smart” cushions that rapidly mold them-selves to the contours of the body regardless of whether one wishes to sit or recline. And the conversations! Here must be the ultimate purpose for which language was invented, especially my language, English, with its unparalled wealth of words.

Abstract:
Swimming is a life skill and everyone should have the opportunity to learn to swim. In the scientific and methodological literature on swimming, in training programs and teaching aids for teaching swimming, it is said that it is not advisable to combine children of different ages in one group, but the real side of the problem lies precisely in the fact that mixed groups are formed quite often, and children of elementary, middle and high school age are engaged in one group. The article reveals the relevance of teaching swimming to children aged 7-15 years-old with different levels of swimming t

Abstract:
General human intelligence and anthropometric indices are important factors in the cognitive learning process, but also in the motor learning such as swimming. In the period March-June 2022, we conducted a longitudinal study on 136 children aged 6.0 to 9.11 years (mean 7.2 years), who practice swimming for leisure (beginner level) in the swimming pools from Iasi city, Romania. The instruments used were the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices for intelligence quotient, an OMRON BF511 device (scale) for body mass index, adipose tissue mass and muscle tissue mass, a Makita laser rangefinder and a
