The Stone Lions

Gwen Dandridge’s middle gradenovel The Stone Lions recentlyshowed up on the digital book-shelf – true cause for celebration.

In this tale of intrigue andmathemagic, the reader joins Araand Layla to rush through thestunning Alhambra, in all of itsearly-Renaissance glory. Our twoheroines search for various types

of symmetry in the Alhambra’smiraculous tilework, as they striveto keep the Alhambra – and thethriving Islamic life & culture itrepresents – alive.

Following are etymologies for some of the words that playimportant roles in the tale:

The story takes place in theAlhambra, a stunning Moorishcastle. Alhambra means redpalace, and comes from Arabic,al hamra, which refers to theglowing red bricks of its exterior.

The stone lions of the title are thecenterpiece of the Alhambra’sCourt of the Lions - a fountainsurrounded by twelve stone lions.Lion entered English in the 1200sfrom Old French, wherein theword meant not only lion, but

hero.

The French borrowed the wordfrom Latin (leonem), whichborrowed it from Greek (leon),which appears to have borrowedit from a Semitic language (mostlikely the Hebrew word labhi).Some of the meanings lion hasheld during its long life as anEnglish word include:

- one who is fiercely brave,

- tyrannical leader, and

- greedy devourer.

The idiom “the lion’s share”entered English in 1701. Theword lionize initially referred toa person of note who is muchsought after, a macabre referenceto the lions kept in the Tower ofLondon. Over the span of a dozendecades, it has come to mean “totreat someone as a celebrity.”

It takes little to imagine thatwhat with paparazzi and all, our modern celebrities may feel theteeth of the earlier meaning.

The Alhambra is located insouthern Spain in the city ofGranada, whose name most likelycame from the Latin, granatum,which translates to seeded apple,or pomegranate.

Symmetry made its way toEnglish in the 1560s through Latin,

from the Greek word symmeaning having a measure, even, or propoBy the 1590s, symmemeant a harmonic arraof parts (a phrase that crefer to Dandridge’s n

Americans, we’re used toking that we will inevitably doer than our parents’ generation.

for now at least, this typeprogress may be facing somedblocks — and this inabilitygain ground, nancially, cane real implications for today’s

nger people and their approachnvesting.

ore we get to the investmentponent, let’s quickly review the

ure of the problem. In a nutshell,nger Americans — those inr twenties and thirties — haveued signicantly less wealth

n their parents did by the same according to a recent study byUrban Institute. Here’s why:

sting of housing “bubble:” ny younger people who bought

ses shortly before the housingbble” began deating in6 now nd themselves to bederwater” on their mortgageshat is, they owe more than their ses are worth. Consequently,

y have less opportunity to buildme equity, which has been an

ortant means of building wealthpast generations.

dent-loan debt: The mediannce among all households with

dent loan debt is now more

n $13,000, according to the Pewearch Center, and debt levels arech higher for recent graduates.an take years to pay o thesets, and the money being useddebt payments is money thatt go toward building wealth for

g-term goals.

ge stagnation: For several years,job market has been prettyfor younger workers. Even

se with jobs aren’t makingch headway, because wages,sted for ination, have largely

stagnated for over a decade. Lessincome clearly equates to lessopportunity for investing andcreating wealth.

Still, even given these somewhatgrim realities, younger people canhelp themselves build resources

for the future and make progresstoward long-term goals. If you’re inthis group, what can you do?

For starters, pay yourself rst. Setup an automatic payment eachmonth from your checking or savings account into an investmentvehicle, such as an IRA. At rst, youmay only be able to aord smallsums, but, over time, you may bepleasantly surprised at the amountyou’ve saved.

Next, every time your salary goes

up, try to increase the amountyou put into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirementplan. Because you typicallycontribute pretax dollars to your 401(k) or other plan, the moreyou put in, the lower your taxableincome. Plus, your money can growon a tax-deferred basis.

Here’s another suggestion: Don’tbe “overly-cautious” with your investments. Many younger investors, apparently nervous dueto market volatility of recent years,

have become quite conservative,putting relatively large amountsof their portfolio into vehiclesthat oer signicant protectionof principal but little in the wayof growth potential. Of course,the nancial markets will alwaysuctuate, and downturns willoccur. But when you’re young, andyou have many decades in which toinvest, you have time to overcomeshort-term declines. To achieveyour long-term goals, such as acomfortable retirement, you will

unquestionably need some growthelements in your portfolio, with theexact amount based on your risktolerance and specic objectives.

These aren’t the easiest times for young people. Nonetheless, withdiligence, perseverance and a

measure of sacrice, yousome control over yourfortunes — so look opportunities.

Both groups in the study weregiven a standardized test ofobject manipulation, in whichthe child plays games with theexaminer that involve pickingup small objects, using a pencilto write, turning the pencil over to erase, cutting with scissors,handling papers, constructingprojects, and manipulating coins.

In the study, children who wereoptimally seated performedsignicantly better in all tasks. Thestudy’s results suggest that the tof furniture relative to the child’ssize has a signicant impact onthe student’s manipulation skills.Complex hand skills, (like moving

objects around in the hand, usingboth hands at the same time,and stabilizing paper with thenon-dominant hand) appear tobe easier when the child sits in acorrectly tted chair.

There are several easy methodsto ensure that your child ts intohis new school desk. First, startwith your child’s chair. Make surethe student sits back comfortablywith his back just touching the

back-rest. His feet should restwith his ankles and knees bent toninety degrees. If the student’sfeet swing or his knees are bentover 90 degrees, he should usea chair that is shorter. Consider using last year’s chair until thechild grows.

If the only chairs available are toohigh, put a sturdy box or largebook under the student’s feet, sothat his ankles rest comfortableat the required ninety degrees. In

addition, you can have the childtrace his feet onto poster board,cut these out, and color them inbright colors. Secure the paper feet under the desk in the correctposition. This serves as a reminder for the student to keep his feetin the proper place. It is harder to slouch when a student’s feetlay at on the oor. In addition,teachers may need to remindstudents to use good posturethroughout the day.

area in front of Mission SanObispo has a long and rich

ory, but I would like to focusre on Mission Plaza and howortant it has become as anaction to the city. At one pointme, I would say that Montereyet was the main street in

n. During the 1800s, manynesses lined the street andors from the city of Monterey

uld travel down this street toer the sleepy little town of San

Obispo. Travelers in wagons,later in automobiles, drove

t in front of the Mission. Inr years, people would parkr cars in front of the missioneither side of the street and

around town doing their pping or other activities. Even

before the Plaza was created, kidswould hang around the front ofthe Mission and watch the carsgo by as they would pass the timeaway during long summer days.During the early 1960s, the ideaof closing o Monterey Streetbecame a very controversial topicin town.

After many years of discussingthe Monterey Street closure,citizens voted in 1968, in a two toone margin, to close o MontereyStreet and develop a plaza infront of the Mission. It took afew years to develop the designof a gathering place in front ofour historic Mission, but by 1970,walkways and new trees wereplanted and the plaza started totake shape. Within a few more

years, a grass lawn, restrooms, aagpole, and other projects wereincorporated into the plaza.

La Fiesta was one of my favoriteevents in the Plaza. La Fiestawas started way back in 1925 byFather Keenan. He called it LaFiesta de las Flores (The Festivalof Flowers) and the money raisedwent to repair of the Mission.Unfortunately, the spirit of LaFiesta has left us, but I’m sure one

day, some brave soul will bringthis historic event back.

One of my current favorite eventsin the Plaza is I Madonnari, whichis a festival featuring peopledrawing wonderful chalk art workon the sidewalk in front of thePlaza. Every year when I walk

through the Plaza looking at theart, I am amazed at the talentedpeople who live in our community.Some of my students and their families have spent hours ontheir knees to create incrediblepictures.

Another favorite time in MissionPlaza is during the winter holidayevents. Santa comes to the Plazaevery year to greet kids of allages and to listen to their holiday

wishes. I have not only taken our three daughters to the Plaza tosee Santa, but now I get to takeour grandchildren to visit the jollyman. I also like all of the greatholiday gifts (including hand-made goods and creative artwork) that local artisans display inthe plaza.

The Greek Festival is another annual event that keeps peopleentertained over a two-day

weekend. We have a vibrantGreek population living in andaround San Luis Obispo County.The food is great, and the dancingand costumes are amazing.Mission Plaza becomes home towonderful Greek traditions for everyone to enjoy.

Child DevelopmentPrepare for

BreastfeedingSuccess

ectant American couplesnd many hours preparing for after baby arrives; shoppingclothes, cribs, strollers, and

cking out car seats. Weorate a special room, lookour insurance coverage, and

showered with gifts. Butastfeeding, the single mostortant item for ensuring apy healthy baby and a lessssed mom, is given very littleught or preparation. Mostmen in San Luis Obispo Countyply assume they are goingbreastfeed their baby, that itatural, and will come easily.at is the reality? August isastfeeding Awareness month,

and expectant parents need tobe aware that breastfeedingsuccess usually depends on thechoices they make; prenatally,during birth, and during the rst 6months of their baby’s life.

The good and the bad news:

When it comes to helping womenstart breastfeeding, our countyis doing better than 41 other California counties. Sounds goodright? Let’s look closer using 2012statistics from UC Davis’ HumanLactation Center. Hospitalbreastfeeding rates are compiledtwo ways; exclusive breastfeedingand any breastfeeding. In studies,

“any breastfeeding” appliesto all moms who are trying tobreastfeed, even when themain source of nutrients givento the baby is formula. Ninety-six percent of women left SLOCounty hospitals giving somehuman milk to their babies.Yay! Unfortunately, one quarter of moms are unsuccessful atexclusively feeding their babiesbreastmilk.

Let’s look even closer. Howmany of the successful motherswere actually getting their milk into their babies the oldfashioned way, via their nipples?Unfortunately, we do not know!Because of the high priority placedon simply getting human milk intobabies, no matter the deliverysystem, separate statistics arenot collected. The rates includemothers who are pumping or expressing and then bottle, cup,or syringe feeding their milk.True, this gets all the wonderfulnutritional benets of human milkinto babies, but leaves out all thefantastic psychological benets.Meanwhile, the moms feelexhausted and lack condence intheir own mothering abilities. Toomany women leave our hospitalsin this time-consuming andstressful position.

More to the story:

There is a well-kept secret in theUnited States. Numerous studiesshow a correlation betweenstandard hospital birth practicesand breastfeeding success.The choices that parents makeprenatally about who will takecare of them during the birth,where they will birth, and what

procedures they will allow duringlabor, all impact a woman’s abilityto breastfeed during those rstvulnerable weeks. So what’s our local story? At our top-rankedbreastfeeding hospital, nearlyone-fth of the women traveledhome with a baby not exclusivelybreastfeeding, while at our lowest ranked hospital, closeto a third of the moms did so.This may be partially explainedby demographics. In California,

white mothers have a 70of leaving the hospital exbreastfeeding, but mothers’ chances are only 40%. Compare twomen in our commuchose to birth out of thewith a midwife. Appro95% are exclusively without the use of meaids! Demographics?these women put a high“natural” mothering tebut not all of the discrepbe explained this way.

The long-term story:

Let’s face it... Breassuccess cannot be mby what the mother when she walks out thedoor on day 2 or 3. In American Academy of Pdened success as exbreastfeeding for 6 monare we doing by this mesuccess? According to t2012 Breastfeeding Repless than half of babieU.S. are fed ANY breas6 months of age. And breastfeeding? AstonishCDC reports that 84% of Ababies were NOT fed theAAP recommends. Califo

is only slightly better national average. In the healthful living, 78% of oare being fed an articimilk substitute by 6 mage, despite all the studiformula feeding to rises indiabetes, cancer, and alle
