The Little Red Hen An English Folk Tale
One day the Little Red Hen was scratching in the farmyard, when she found a grain of wheat.
“Who will plant the wheat?” said she.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then,” said the Little Red Hen, “I will.” So she planted the grain of wheat.
After some time the wheat grew tall and ripe.
“Who will cut the wheat?” asked the Little Red Hen.
“Who will plant the wheat?” said she.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then,” said the Little Red Hen, “I will.” So she planted the grain of wheat.
After some time the wheat grew tall and ripe.
“Who will cut the wheat?” asked the Little Red Hen.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then, I will,” said the Little Red Hen. So she cut the wheat.
“Now,” she said, “who will thresh the wheat?”
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then, I will,” said the Little Red Hen. So she threshed the wheat.
When the wheat was threshed, she said, “Who will take the wheat to the mill to have it ground into flour?”
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then, I will,” said the Little Red Hen. So she took the wheat to the mill.
When the wheat was ground into flour, she said, “Who will make this flour into bread?”
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then, I will,” said the Little Red Hen, and she baked a lovely loaf of bread.
Then she said, “Who will eat the bread?”
“Oh! I will,” said the duck.
“Oh! I will,” said the cat.
“Oh! I will,” said the dog.
“Oh, no you won’t!” said the Little Red Hen. “I will.”
And she called her chicks and shared the bread with them.
“Not I,” said the cat.
“Not I,” said the dog.
“Very well then, I will,” said the Little Red Hen. So she cut the wheat.
“Now,” she said, “who will thresh the wheat?”

THE LEAP FROG Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales
A Flea, a Grasshopper, and a Leap-frog once wanted to see which could jump highest; and they invited the whole world, and everybody else besides who chose to come to see the festival. Three famous jumpers were they, as everyone would say, when they all met together in the room.
"I will give my daughter to him who jumps highest," exclaimed the King; "for it is not so amusing where there is no prize to jump for."
The Flea was the first to step forward. He had exquisite manners, and bowed to the company on all sides; for he had noble blood, and was, moreover, accustomed to the society of man alone; and that makes a great difference.
Then came the Grasshopper. He was considerably heavier, but he was well-mannered, and wore a green uniform, which he had by right of birth; he said, moreover, that he belonged to a very ancient Egyptian family, and that in the house where he then was, he was thought much of. The fact was, he had been just brought out of the fields, and put in a pasteboard house, three stories high, all made of court-cards, with the colored side inwards; and doors and windows cut out of the body of the Queen of Hearts. "I sing so well," said he, "that sixteen native grasshoppers who have chirped from infancy, and yet got no house built of cards to live in, grew thinner than they were before for sheer vexation when they heard me."
It was thus that the Flea and the Grasshopper gave an account of themselves, and thought they were quite good enough to marry a Princess.
The Leap-frog said nothing; but people gave it as their opinion, that he therefore thought the more; and when the housedog snuffed at him with his nose, he confessed the Leap-frog was of good family. The old councillor, who had had three orders given him to make him hold his tongue, asserted that the Leap-frog was a prophet; for that one could see on his back, if there would be a severe or mild winter, and that was what one could not see even on the back of the man who writes the almanac.
"I say nothing, it is true," exclaimed the King; "but I have my own opinion, notwithstanding."
Now the trial was to take place. The Flea jumped so high that nobody could see where he went to; so they all asserted he had not jumped at all; and that was dishonorable.
The Grasshopper jumped only half as high; but he leaped into the Kings face, who said that was ill-mannered.
The Leap-frog stood still for a long time lost in thought; it was believed at last he would not jump at all.
"I only hope he is not unwell," said the house-dog; when, pop! he made a jump all on one side into the lap of the Princess, who was sitting on a little golden stool close by.
Hereupon the King said, "There is nothing above my daughter; therefore to bound up to her is the highest jump that can be made; but for this, one must possess understanding, and the Leap-frog has shown that he has understanding. He is brave and intellectual."
And so he won the Princess.
"Its all the same to me," said the Flea. "She may have the old Leap-frog, for all I care. I jumped the highest; but in this world merit seldom meets its reward. A fine exterior is what people look at now-a-days."
The Flea then went into foreign service, where, it is said, he was killed.
The Grasshopper sat without on a green bank, and reflected on worldly things; and he said too, "Yes, a fine exterior is everything—a fine exterior is what people care about." And then he began chirping his peculiar melancholy song, from which we have taken this history; and which may, very possibly, be all untrue, although it does stand here printed in black and white.

Lulu Walks the Dogs CYBILS Nominee
The bulk of the story is taken up with how Lulu attempts to earn money to buy her hearts desire, since her parents refuse to shell out the moolah. She quickly hits upon the idea of dog walking. Fleischman, a nice polite boy whos yin to Lulus yang, helps her manage her workload--Brutus, a belligerent bulldog, Pookie, a spoiled toy fuzzball, and Cordelia, a vain dachshund. Lulu is less than pleased with Fleischmans help--even though he asks for nothing in return and is an ace dog whisperer. Lulu just doesnt like him, mostly because hes a goody-two-shoes.
Viorst tells her tale with plenty of authorial asides--all quite clever and amusing. There are frequent time-outs in which she humorously answers questions young readers might be asking, such as "What is it Lulu wants to buy with all this money shes earning?" The answer? "I really dont feel like discussing this right now." Smiths clever pencil illustrations match the books satirical tone.
By the end, surprise, surprise, Lulu and Fleischman work out their differences. But to Viorsts credit, the mismatched pair dont become best friends. As she aptly puts it: "You want a happy ending? Read Cinderella."

Beyond the G Spot Secrets of the Female Human Body amp The U Spot
HUMAN BODY SYSTEM DIAGRAM :
There has much been written about the G-Spot (named after its discoverer, Grafenburg). It is an area within the womans vagina that, when stimulated, can bring intense pleasure.
Beyond the G-Spot- Secrets of the Female Human Body & The U Spot
Now due to the advances in non-invasive anatomical investigation with MRIs, CAT scanners, and other highly sensitive investigative instruments, the human form is revealing more of its secrets.
Here we examine two newly discovered pleasure areas within the general area of the female genital zone.
The U-Spot.
The U-spot is a small area of highly sensitive erectile tissue located just above and on both sides of the urethral opening.
Some American clinical researchers have recently discovered this aera, and proved that if it was stimulated by caress, with the tongue, the head of the penis, or even a lubricated finger, it brought an unexpected and highly intense erotic response.
This is not the urithiral opening, but just above and to ether side of it.
There is no U-spot underneath the urithra towards the vagina. Care should be taken when attempting to stimulate it, and ask for feedback from your partner.
The Anterior Fornix Erogenous Zone (also known as the A-Spot or
T-Spot ,or just AFE)
Recently a Malaysian physician reported the existence of a highly sensitive erotic area just above the cervix, at the innermost point of the vagina. The cervix is a part of the uterus that extends slightly into the vagina.
As it so extends, it leaves a depressed circular area, technically called the anterior fornix. Tests have shown that pressure on this area causes the vagina to lubricate very quickly.
In fact, direct stimulation of the AFE zone can cause immediate and profound contractions only found in orgasm. Some anatomists say the AFE zone is really a evolutionary degenerated prostate, homologous to a mans prostate gland that would be located in just about the same place.
The AFE - Zone and Erotic Pleasure
Technically, the AFE Zone is a vortex of the nerves that carry information from your whole genital to the spinal cord and brain. These nerves, when stimulated, send arousal signals to the part of your nervous system which enhances engorgement of appropriate areas, ans is responsible then for sexual arousal.
This is also true for women that normally are not sexually responsive.
Obviously the most easy way to locate the AFE zone is to slide the fingers halfway up the posterior vaginal wall you will find a larger area than the G-spot, which is slightly rougher than the normal vaginal wall.
Recently specially shaped vibrators (long, then and with the neck bent in an oblique way) have come onto the marketplace which are meant for self-stimulation of the AFE zone.
Size Matters?
This is long-standing debate on the benefits or deficiencies of a large and long penis. In the case of the AFE zone, no matter the size of a mans penis, he must be experienced to find, and then stimulate the AFE zone.
For the man with a shorter penis, there are some advantagous positions to shorten the womans uterous, and thus still find a way to stimulate the AFE zone as well.
The use of the advanced missionary, where the woman will have her legs drawn to her breast, with the mans arms both holding her legs apart, and suspending himself, will create, even if he is short and small of penile stature, complete penetration and stimulation of the AFE zone.
Due to small depression at its location, and roughness of the area, it also provides some intense pleasure for the man as well.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip DDH
.png)
Definition
- A spectrum of disorders ranging from complete dislocation of the femoral head to a reduced hip joint with acetabular dysplasia
Types:
1. Complete hip dislocation.
2. Partial hip subluxation.
3. Hip dysplasia (incomplete development).
Risk factors:
- family history - may reflect laxity of ligaments
- Race- common in white
- Breech presentation - Exaggerated positioning in acute flexion and adduction in utero may occur
- Female sex - the presence of maternal relaxin in the fetal circulatory system
- large fetal size
- First born child
- With the child is lying on a flat surface, flex the hips and knees so the heels rest flat on the table, just distal to the buttock .
- A dislocated hip is signaled by relative shortening of the thigh compared with the normal leg, as shown by the difference in knee height level.
- This test is almost always useless in children under 1 year of age and is negative if dislocation is bilateral.
Barlows test
- This is a provocative test that picks up an unstable but located hip; it is unsuitable for a dislocated hip.
- Thighs are gently grasped in the hand, with the thumb at the lesser trochanter and fingers at the greater trochanter . The hip is adducted slightly and gently pushed posteriorly with the palm.
- Detection of "pistoning," or the sensation of the femoral head subluxating over the posterior rim of the acetabulum, is a positive finding.
.png)
Ortolanis test:
- This test detects hips that are already dislocated.
- The flexed limb is grasped as in Barlows test. The hip is abducted while the femur is gently lifted with the fingers at the greater trochanter.
- In a positive test, there will be a sensation of the hip reducing back into the acetabulum.
Clinical Manifestations
- We can diagnose DDH in this period by positive Ortolani’s test or Barlow’s test.
- Asymmetry of the skin fold may help, but its not specific.
- Shortening of the limb at this age doesn’t exist.
- We cant use X-rays because the acetabulum and proximal femur are cartilaginous and wont be shown on X-ray.
- USG is the best method to Dx.
In the early childhood:
- Parents notice asymmetry of creases of groin, limitation of movement of affected hip or click every time hip is moved
In older children:
- Complaints of limping, waddling gait (bilateral DDH), Trendelenburg’s gait (unilateral DDH), lumbar lordosis, limitation of hip abduction, etc…
X-ray
Von Rosen view:
hips abducted 45º & medially rotated.
Anteroposterior.
We draw a line through the central axis of the femoral shaft.
in normal hip ( ossific nucleus )will be inside the acetabulum.
in dislocated hip it will be above acetabulum.
.png)
Delayed development of ossific nucleus / smaller
Horizontal line of Hilgenreiner:
drawn between upper ends of tri-radiate cartilage of the acetabulum.
Vertical line of Perkins:
drawn from the lateral edge of the acetabulum vertical to horizontal line.
4 quadrants:
Normal hip: the ossification center of the femoral hip lower medial quadrant.
Dislocated hip: upper lateral quadrant.
.png)
Acetabular index:
angle between horizontal line of Hilgenreiner and the line between the two edges of the acetabulum.
normal hip 20º-300
dilocated or dysplastic hip ≥ 30º
Shenton’s line:
semicircle between femoral neck and upper arm of obturator foramen, in dislocated hip this line is broken.
.png)
The earlier the better.
Exact treatment depends on patient age at presentation and degree of involvement
Goal is to:
1.Flex and abduct hips.
2.Reduce femoral head and maintaining it.
Reduction can be achieved by closed manipulation , traction followed by closed reduction and opened reduction
maintenance can be done using plaster cast(frog leg or Batchelor) or splint (von Rosen’s splint)
- Acetabular reconstruction procedure
- Salter’s osteotomy
- Chiari’s pelvic displacement osteotomy
- Pemberton’s pericapsular osteotomy
- From (0-6 months)
A dislocated hip at this age may spontaneously reduce over 2-3 weeks if the hip is held in a position of flexion.
Reduction by closed manipulation and maintained with plaster cast or splint
- From 6 months -2 year
Gentle closed reduction of the dislocation under a general anesthetic and maintenance of a located position for 2-3 months in a hip spica cast usually stabilize the joint
- From the age of 2-6 years:
open reduction with osteotomy
- 6-10 years
No treatment for bilateral
Open reduction with reconstruction for unilateral
- After 10 years
Only indication for treatemnt is pain. If only one hip affected total hip replacement may be done.
Learn about the flu AND win 2500
The federal Department of Health and Human Services has just announced a contest that should be of interest to students of human anatomy and physiology who have a creative urge:
Make a brief video PSA (public service announcement) and youll have a chance to win $2500 . . . enough to cover the cost of your A&P textbook AND your A&P lab manual AND a candy bar!
Even if you dont win the contest, youll have learned some useful information about human health and disease . . . perhaps something thatll come in handy in your own life or your career. And maybe you can use it for credit in your A&P, micro, or film course, eh?
Check it out:
If you cant see the video in your news feed or emailed newsletter, then just click here to access it at the blog.
By the way, do you know what you should do about your A&P class if you have the flu?
NOTHING! Do not come to school. Do not work on your homework. The rest of us dont want your flu . . . and you need to rest and survive the flu so you can come back and work like the dickens to catch up with what youve missed.
{FYI, the image seen in the blog post is a colorized negative stained transmission electron micrograph (TEM) depicted some of the structure of the A/CA/4/09 swine flu virus.}

Stone Walls and Large Ancient City Described Along the Ohio River in West Virginia
Stone Walls and Large Ancient City Described Along the Ohio River in West Virginia
Stone wall or fort above Pratt, West Virginia, formerly known as Clifton.
Ten miles below the mouth of Armstrong Creek, on the Kanawha river, is another wall similar to the one in Fayette county described by Captain Wm. N. Page. It is on a high mountain, facing the river, just above the mouth of Paint Creek. The characteristics of the two works are so nearly alike that the foregoing description of the one at Loup creek renders unnecessary any description of the one at Paint creek, except to say that it is erected on a smaller scale.

At the base of the Paint creek mountain, too, is an extensive burying ground, similar to the one described. It is just where the village of Pratt (formerly Clifton), now stands; and so numerous are the remains that excavations for any purpose are almost sure to unearth skeletons, as well as stone, bone, earthenware, copper implements, and relics. [The burial are not marked by mounds]
At Sattes, opposite the mouth of the Coal River, there have been found evidences of a very large city, much larger than Charleston. There are also carved stones in different places on the river. Earthworks or fortifications are also found several places both on the Kanawha and on the Coal river
Dont Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Dont Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
By: Mo Willems
Summery:
I dont know where to start. Dont Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is by far one of the silliest books I have picked up. It is so ridiculous that I find every time we read it, we get a great laugh. The book starts off with a bus driver. The bus driver is in need of a break and asks the reader to help watch the bus until he returns. Right before he leaves, he give the reader a warning not to allow the pigeon to drive the bus.
Sure enough on the following page the pigeon arrives and asks the reader if he can drive the bus. At this point the book terns very interactive as the children keep screaming no to the pigeon. This is a very manipulative pigeon as he tries many ways to get onto the bus like mentioning his cousin. After trying all sorts of things, the bus driver returns and is relieved to find the reader did not allow the pigeon to drive the bus.
Pros:
- Interactive
- Hilarious
- Wonderfully simplistic illustrations
Cons:
- If you are not a fan of silliness and laughter then this is not for you.
Suggestions:
- As the pigeon asks to drive the bus, rather than everyone shouting all at once, ask the child why it would be a bad idea to drive the bus.
- Try acting it out. For example give your child something fun like a bag of snack. Tell them to watch it and no give it away. Come back with a silly hat or something and tell them you are a new person. Try to get them to give up the item. When the fun is over, come back as your self and you can enjoy the snack together. This is a great activity to do before snack time. I find grapes work for us. A bag is enough for the whole family to sit and enjoy.
Age Range:
- 2-6
Bottom Line:
This is by far one of the best childrens books I own. This book starts off with an instruction to the children and then they have to follow through. In a way it is a lesson on responsibility as well as funny. There is no way to describe the book except saying is is a really funny must have for every library.
