In 2002 on the 12th anniversary of the Innocenti Declaration, UNICEF launched the Golden Bow Initiative, formalizing and encouraging the use of a golden bow as the symbol for the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding. Golden Bow by Sanja Gjenero Why a Golden Bow? The gold color symbolizes that breastfeeding is the gold standard for infant feeding. The yellowish colostrum is often called “liquid gold” and I know many mothers who call their precious bags of expressed breast milk “liquid gold” as well. The bow is used rather than a simple loop of ribbon because the two loops of the bow represent the mother and the infant. Naturally, both parties are necessary for successful breastfeeding and neither is more impo...

The British legislature, the Queen in Parliament, remains supreme. In theory, an Act of Parliament could be passed tomorrow taking us out of the EC, abolishing the Act of Settlement, even abolishing the monarchy. The beloved political doctrine of the separation of powers has little reality in the UK. The executive controls the legislature and, with a working majority and the veiled powers of patronage, can pass any legislation it wishes. Do not underestimate the influence of patronage. There would have been no feminist diatribe from Caroline “give the girls a job” Flint if she had been offered the Home Office.O...

A tall boy with big feet and able to reach an octave on the piano merely by opening his hand wide, and not really able to read. When he was three, we started to teach Charlie the alphabet. He had quickly learned the numbers from 1-10 and we thought that he would pick up the letters with equal ease and speed—but after a few letters, confusion set in. Too many of the letters had an “e” sound (b, c, d, e, g, p, v) or looked alike (b, d, p, q; i, l, t). We kept at it; we had alphabet cards, blocks, puzzles of various textures, the computer. We tried to teach Charlie to memorize some sight words in the thought that he might be better able to identify the letters when he saw a few together...

He said “helmet” and went and found it atop a box and started to strap it on backwards: “Other way,” we told him, and Jim helped him straighten the helmet with the visor-like edge pointed forward. Charlie ran back for Jim’s helmet and placed it on the ground beside the yellow bike and Jim concluded that, for the first ride of March, it would be just as well for Charlie to ride his old bike. “The new one is big,” he noted, adjusting the seat on the yellow bike, and off they went,. Ten minutes later Jim called me: He needed the wrench to adjust the seat even more. “He can’t really pedal,” said...
