BETHEL, Maine (AP) — A large chunk of rock from Mars goes on public display in Maine on Wednesday.
The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum in Bethel has said the specimen weighs 32 pounds (15 kilograms). The museum will host the rock, which it has said is the largest intact Mars rock on Earth. here
The museum has said the rock was the result of an asteroid impact on the surface of Mars that ejected material into an Earth-crossing orbit in space. It has also said only about 560 pounds (254 kilograms) of Mars rock is known to exist on Earth.
School officials removed a “racist” boulder from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus earlier this month at the request of minority students who said that the massive boulder symbolized racism. here
The “Welcome BBQ” flyer states that the free event is for “students of color,” and is intended to welcome back students who are “self-identified people of color.”
In a Tuesday morning statement to the outlet, UW-Madison spokesperson Meredith McGlone said that there is “nothing unusual” about the way that the campus is advertising the event, despite it not showing up on the campus events calendar nor the University Housing events and activities page. The outlet noted that to the contrary, a “Latinx New Student Welcome” was posted online. more
The rock was removed and placed on university-owned land near Wisconsin’s Lake Kegonsa. [links]
“The derogatory term was commonly used in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock,” the news agency noted. “University historians have not found any other time that the term was used, but they said the Ku Klux Klan was active on campus at that time, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.” [links]
What kind of routine do you do before you go to sleep each night? Do you watch TV? Talk to your partner? Do you read a book? Do you sleep on a pillow? These are the types of things you associate with going to sleep each night. What would happen if your power was out and you couldn’t watch the news or read your book? Would you have trouble falling asleep? Perhaps. Or, perhaps not. Would you have trouble going to sleep without your pillow? That might be more likely to give you trouble. Some sleep associations are stronger than others. What if you went to sleep with your pillow and covers and 2 hours later woke up and they were GONE!? Would you be able to go back to sleep without looking for the pillow? Now let’s look at how this concept of ‘sleep associations’ might affect your baby/child. more
Let’s look at how many babies fall asleep. They might fall asleep while their mother or father is rocking them in a rocking chair, bundled up and very cozy in their parent’s arms. Or, they may fall asleep nursing or drinking their bottle. Or, perhaps they doze off with the simple use of a pacifier. Minus the teeth issue with formula later on, there isn’t a problem with any of these methods of falling asleep until it is a problem.
From the time my son was an itty bitty baby, he loved to be walked, rocked and nursed to sleep. He also loved napping in the moving swing. At first this was not a problem. He would fall asleep quickly and we’d put him down. But, several weeks later, I found myself rocking him for 2-3 hours each night to put him to bed. He’d fall asleep easily, but then when I put him down he’d wake up! Ah! And, then I’d need to repeat it every 1-2 hours when he woke up. It was exhausting and I was at the end of my rope! So, we took to co-sleeping, which got us both more sleep, yet I was so nervous I’d roll on top of him or my husband or I would cover him with blankets. I’m not the best sleeper, so every time he’d want to nurse, I’d have trouble going back to sleep (and I never got good and switching sides without actually switching sides either). Co-sleeping works for many and I’m not knocking it. It just didn’t work for us and it is important for every family to learn what works for them best. After learning about sleep associations I was able to transfer him back to his crib at 4 months old and we both got a LOT more sleep then! here
The problem with sleep associations lies in the fact that your baby needs YOU to recreate the environment in which they fell asleep. YOU become their “pillow” and when they wake up through sleep transitions (that we ALL have!) and their “pillow” is gone, they don’t know how to go back to sleep. So, the key is to allow them to go to sleep the same way they will wake up periodically throughout the night. If they wake up briefly and you’ve “disappeared” or the movement has stopped (as with my son) or their pacifier is gone or…they will wake up more and have to call out to you so you can “help” them once again. The beauty of this is that after they get to be about 3-4 months, they really don’t “need” you as much as you might think and they can actually learn to fall asleep on their own, if they haven’t learned already up to this point.
Is it a bad idea to rock your baby? It depends. It is never a bad idea to cuddle your baby and give him/her lots of love and affection! It’s only when rocking your baby becomes something you can’t keep up with that it is a problem. Let’s take a step back and let me explain what a sleep association is.

I am so grateful to everyone who shared their stories and offered details that mirrored my own experience. I feel so much less ashamed.
I'm not entirely sure this is the right forum, maybe it should be mental health but if anyone could help me understand I would much appreciatre your thoughts! If not i will try the other forums. Thanks for your time
Maybe even strengthening back muscles. :)
I'm 50, ricked since I have had memories of rocking. Broken springs in chairs. holes in walls from springs and Rock when I drive. I have not wrecked from it ever. I also found ways to use it, and times in the last 10 years of it lessoning. I remember when I was around 13 seeing another grown woman rock and I whispered a prayer to not be rocking at that age. I have been mocked, and diagnosed, given so called reasons and suggestions on how to stop. The greatest help for me has been aging and acceptance of me as a person from my family. I still rock, but not entire days, can go days without Rocking. If in a car I cant drive without rocking, and if I stop rocking while driving you better know something is up!'' lol. I would problem solve while rocking, enact needed compassion or anger responses in my head. Music is a high trigger to set off rocking. The strange thing is. there are times now, I think I want to go back to losing entire days rocking just for the strength I think it gave my back and ab muscles. Creativity flowed easier, and lonliness and emotions were seemingly managed easier.
I still rock but not to the extent of hours on end. more
