Something Today About Germany...
Bamberg (population 70,000) is one of the few cities in Germany that was not
destroyed by World War II bombings because of a nearby Artillery Factory
that prevented planes from getting near to Bamberg. Bamberg is home to
nearly 7,000 foreign nationals, including over 4,100 members of the
United States Army and their dependents. In February 1926, Bamberg
served as the venue for the famous Bamberg Conference, convened by Adolf
Hitler in his attempt to foster unity and to stifle dissent within the
young NSDAP (which was the National Socialist German Workers' Party).
Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church.
The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal begins near Bamberg. With its completion
nearly 20 years ago, uninterrupted water transport was made possible
between the North Sea and the Black Sea.

Aerobic exercise can be fun for both adults
and kids. Examples of aerobic activities include: basketball, bicycling,
ice-skating, inline skating, soccer, swimming, tennis, walking, jogging,
and running.
Improving strength doesn't have to mean lifting weights. Although some
kids benefit from weightlifting, it should be done under the supervision
of an experienced adult who works with them.
But most kids don't need a formal weight-training program to be strong.
Push-ups, stomach crunches, pull-ups, and other exercises help tone and
strengthen muscles. Kids also incorporate strength activities in their
play when they climb, do a handstand, or wrestle.
Stretching exercises help improve flexibility, allowing muscles and
joints to bend and move easily through their full range of motion. Kids
look for opportunities every day to stretch when they try to get a toy
just out of reach, practice a split, or do a cartwheel.

 Did
You Know?
Inside your head is the most amazingly
complex known structure in the universe: the human brain. It looks like
a huge, soggy gray walnut with a wrinkled surface. It is split into two
halves and weighs on average about 3.3 pounds. Within its soggy mass,
the brain contains literally billions of intricately interconnected
nerve cells. The chemical and electrical impulses continually shooting
through your brain cells produce all of your thoughts, and control
nearly all of your actions (and record every sensation) by signals sent
to and fro along the remarkable network of nerves that link your body to
the brain – like the wires in a computer. ______________________________________________________________________________
