Will Sweden Win Because They Have More Mothers In The Team?
I am posting this at half-time with the Lionesses two-nil down.
I think that Sweden has two mothers in the team and England has none.
I base my question because of four things.
- I played a game of real tennis once, with a sports psychologist and she felt that in real tennis, there could be an improvement in female players after childbirth. As real tennis has a universal computerised handicap, increase or decrease in performance is easily measured.
- There have also been a number of female athletes who have improved after childbirth.
- Mothers fight for their children.
- C and myself had three children in a short space of time. As we had no help and I was working from home, she looked after the elder two and I had the baby sitting on my desk in a plastic chair.
I would even take George across Regents Park to a client, if I needed to see someone. Sometimes, he would even be kidnapped by the secretaries.
One outcome, was that I was closest to George than my other two children and when he died, a psychologist, who knew me well, felt I grieved like a mother.
The Great Cadaver Shortage: Inside Doctors’ Latest Crisis
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.
This is the sub-heading.
Faced with a dwindling supply of fresh bodies to train on, British medical schools are having to turn to America’s low-regulation ‘tissue trade’. Would you donate yours, asks Jenny Kleeman
My late wife, C; left her body to medical science and I may well choose to do the same with my body.
She left her body to St. George’s Medical School, mainly because one of her friend’s mother had done the same and there had been no problems.
Looking back on the nearly twenty years since she died, I remember a few months after her death, there was a multi-faith joint Memorial Service in Southwark Cathedral for all those who’d donated their bodies, in the previous year.
None of my family were or are religious, but I’m sure the service helped our grieving, as it was a very moving and inclusive service, that was the Church of England at its best, with assistance from other faiths.
Perhaps if donation were to be linked to support for the bereaved and perhaps a Memorial Service, this might increase the level of donations.
What sort of affect would it create in a city like Liverpool, if the yearly service alternated around the major places of worship in the city and was well-covered on local media?
