Racial prejudice & Kids

Nataliya Recommended the following articles:

"Mothering" magazine # 96 September-October 1999
"The colours of love" and "Pride or prejudice".
Mothering has a website . They also give you the opportunity to buy back issues.

They apparently had more articles on the subject in # 58 "Raising interracial children" and # 45 "Between me and you".

Anyone interested can check out this website.  We'll keep this here past the date in case it gives details of future Conventions.

We are told you can find a Shakespeare game, called The Play's the Thing here.
and that there is another interesting web site for games

Various members found our discussions about Names interesting.  One offered  a collection of World Wide Names

Some time back someone told us there was once a debate whether the official language in the United States of America was to be German.  It turned out to be a Legend - but here is some
more about the Muhlenberg Legend that Cindy explained so well

Pikabo Street

One list member could not let the debate about this oddly named skiier rest.
The following link references the "Indian name" version of the story.

Back in November 1999 we debated vaccines quite a bit.  Here are two links that surfaced from that debate:

This may change your outlook on Vaccines.

For what another member finds to be "a more balanced discussion of the pros and cons of
vaccinations...."  I recommend the following web site of Dr. Koop, the former US
Surgeon General, who has in his "retirement," focused his energy on public
health awareness and issues.

Another member has a favourite site to add to the vaccine debate. It is here.

The Great Toy debate has not escaped our scrutiny:

Apparently etoy supporters have put up a website with more detailed information and
links to a number of articles about etoy and about this conflict.  Read all about the toy wars
there!

Tired of just being classified as a housewife? Check out how one mother in the list tackled this.

Well, here is a great web site that Sara enjoyed.  It has lots of scientific information
about music.  It's the MUSICA site "Musica and Scientific Information
Computer Archives."

Sara says their newletters have many interesting articles about music and behavior and brain development.

For a European perspective, she suggests we try the "European Society for the Cognitive
Science of Music."  The website is in English and French.  Interesting, because the address is in Hannover!  Their journals are all published on-line.

The "Musical Intelligence Neural Development Institute" (M.I.N.D. Institute) also has a great website.  Some may find the articles too technical, but you don't have to be a neuroscientist to understand them.  Their board of directors include at least one Nobel prize winner, so this is high quality science.
