He
didn’t
adjust
to
going
to
work
without
my
father
right
away,
so
he
came
and
lived
with me in New York City for a while.
He went wherever I went and seemed to adjust
pretty well. Still, Jimmy longed to
live in my parents’ house and work at his old
job and I pledged to help him return.
Eventually, I was able to work it out. He has
lived
there
for
11
years
now
with
many
different
caretakers
and
blossomed
on
his
own.
He has
become essential to the neighborhood. When you
have any mail to be picked up
or your
dog needs walking, he is your man.
My
mother was right, of course: It was possible to
have a home with room for both
his
limitations and my ambitions. In fact, caring for
someone who loves as deeply
and
appreciates
my
efforts
as
much
as
Jimmy
does
has
enriched
my
lif
more
than
anything
else ever could
have.
Iron deficiency is
very common among women in general, affecting one
in four female
teenagers and one in
five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the
ratio is even
greater
among
active
women,
affecting
up
to
80
percent
of
female
endurance
athletes.
This
means,
Lyle
says,
that
“too
many
women
ignore
the
amount
of
iron
they
take
in”.
women of childbearing age are at
greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a
major source of iron loss. Plus, many
health-conscious women increase their risk by
rejecting
red
meat,which
contains
the
most
easily
absorbed
form
of
iron.
And
because
women often restrict
their
diet
in an
effort
to
control weight, they may
not consume
enough iron-rich food, and
are liable to experience a deficiency.
In
the
mid-1870s,French
artist
Frederic
Auguste
Bartholdi
was
woeking
on
an
enormous
project
called
Liberty
Enlightening
the
World,a
monument
celebrating
US
independence
and the France-
America the same time, he was in love with a
women whom
he
had
met
in
Canada.
His
mother
could
not
approve
of
her
son’s
affection
for
a
women
she had never met, but
Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.
That
same
year
Bartholdi
had
assembled
the
statue’s
right
arm
and
torch,a
nd
displayed
them in
Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his
wife’s arm as the model, but
felt
her
face
was
too
beautiful
for
the
statue.
He
needed
someone
whose
face
represented
suffering
yet
strength,
someone
more
severe
than
beautiful.
He
chose
his
mother.
Although
scientists
still
cannot
predict
earthquakes,
they
are
learning
a
great
deal
about
how the large plates in the Earth’s crust move,
the stresses between plates,
how
earthquakes work, and the general probability that
a given place will have an
earthquake.
Someday
soon it
may
actually
become possible
to predictearthquakes
with
accuracy.
However,
even
if
prediction
becomes
possible,
people
who
live
in
areas
where
earthquakes are a common occurrence
will still have to do their best to prevent
disasters by building structures that
are resistant to ground movement and by being
personally prepared. These precautions
can make a great difference in saving lives
and preventing the loss of homes.
Education concerning how to survive an earthquake
should
be
a
major
emphasis
for
all
government
programs
and
earthquake-related
research
projects.
