"Think of the children" (also "What about the children?")
is a phrase that became a strategy used when you are in an argument with someone.
Basically in its simplest use it can mean just children's rights, like for example talking about child labor problems.
But when this phrase is used in the middle of an argument, it can be used to try to make people feel emotional when thinking about the needs of children, and then to try and fool people into doing what they want because they might be scared that they do not want to harm children.
The 2002 book Art, Argument, and Advocacy (2002) said that using this phrase replaced emotion instead of reason in the middle of an argument with someone.
Ethicist Jack Marshall wrote in 2005 that the phrase is so popular because it can stop people from behaving rationally especially when they are talking about morals.
"Think of the children" was used by censorship supporters to try to defend children from things they thought were dangerous to these young people.
The book Community, Space and Online Censorship (2009) wrote that calling children just babies in need of protection was a form of focusing too much on the concept of purity.
A 2011 article in the Journal for Cultural Research wrote that "Think of the children" was caused by people thinking too hard about telling everyone what to do and the difference between right-and-wrong.
"Think of the children" as a phrase was used in the 1964 Walt Disney Pictures film Mary Poppins; where Mrs. Banks pleaded with her departing nanny not to quit and to asked her to "Think of the children!".
Its use was popularized through satire on the television program The Simpsons, beginning in 1996.
Character Helen Lovejoy pleaded: "Won't somebody please think of the children!"
during loud arguments in the town of Springfield on the TV show.
Law professor Charles J. Ten Brink in the 2012 Georgia State University Law Review wrote that The Simpsons character Helen Lovejoy's use of "Think of the children" was a good form of parody.
The phrase's use was made fun of a lot when people used it in politics.
After it became popular on The Simpsons, use of the phrase was called "Lovejoy's Law", the "Helen Lovejoy defence", the "Helen Lovejoy Syndrome", and "think-of-the-children-ism".

Lofsöngur (Icelandic for 'Hymn'), also called Ó Guð vors lands ('O, God of Our Land'), is the national anthem (or hymn) of the Nordic country of Iceland.
It was written for the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the first Norse settlement of Iceland, though it wasn't considered a nation anthem for another 40 years.
It was adopted in 1944 when the country became a republic during the constitutional referendum.
Previously in 1874, the music of the hymn was composed by Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson and the lyrics (words) were written by Matthías Jochumsson.
It's often thought to be difficult to sing due to having vocal range of high and low registers.
This anthem has strong religious connotations despite the country becoming more secular.
It has been suggested that the anthem be replaced with a more modern, less religious anthem.

A maternal insult (also referred to as a "yo mama" joke) is a reference to a person's mother.
This is through the use of phrases such as "your mother" or other variations, often used to insult the target by way of their mother.
"Your mother" can be combined with most types of insults, although suggestions of promiscuity are common.
One of the purposes of these insults is to incite violence.
Slang variants such as "yo mama", "yo momma", "yer ma", "ya mum", "your mum", "ya mudda" or "your mom" are sometimes used, depending on the local dialect.
In the Bible, King Joram is greeted by the rebel Jehu with a hostile expression concerning Joram's mother:
When Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?"
William Shakespeare used such a device in Act I Scene 1 of Timon of Athens:
Painter: "Y'are a dog."
Apemantus: "Thy mother's of my generation.
What's she, if I be a dog?"
(In this example, the implication is that the mother is a "bitch".)
The world's oldest yo momma joke was written about 1,500 BC.
It loses much in the translation but was found in Iraq on an ancient tablet:
'' “...of your mother is by the one who has intercourse with her.

The origin of the blues.
Little is known about the origin of the music known as the blues.
No year can be cited as the origin, because the style evolved over a long period.
Ethnomusicologist Gerhard Kubik traces the roots of many of its elements back to the African continent, the "cradle of the blues".
There are few characteristics common to all blues.
The genre takes its shape from the peculiarities of each individual performance.
Some characteristics are common to most styles of African American music.
The earliest blues-like music was a "functional expression, rendered in a call-and-response style without accompaniment or harmony and unbounded by the formality of any particular musical structure".
This pre-blues music was adapted from the field shouts and hollers performed during slave times, expanded into "simple solo songs laden with emotional content".
Many of these blues elements, such as the call-and-response format, can be traced back to the music of Africa.
When African slaves went to work in North America, they took musical traditions with them.
Early forms of music include spirituals and work songs.
Spirituals were religious songs and work songs were sung to the rhythm of working.
Work songs included a vocal call and response, or where the lead drummer makes a beat and then the others respond to it.
The majority of blues songs have four beats in a bar, and are built on the 12 bar blues form which uses three phrases, each four bars long.
They can also use the blue scale.

A bye in sports and other competitive activities can have two different meanings.
Both mean that a participant in a competition is not required to compete while most of the other participants are.
Its main use is in tournament competitions.
In single-elimination tournaments, when there are an odd number of participants, a bye allows one or more to play in a later round.
Other types of eliminator tournaments may also include a bye for others reasons.
An example would be as a reward for the best ranked team(s).
In round-robin tournaments where there are an odd number of competitors, usually one gets a bye in each round.
However, over the whole tournament, each team plays the same number of games.
Similar to the round-robin context, in leagues where most teams play on the same days during regular-season play, a team that does not play on a given day is said to be on bye.
In sports that are played weekly, especially gridiron football, a team that does not play at all during a given week is said to be on its bye week.
For example, during the regular football Season in the NFL, each team gets a week off (bye week) during the regular season.
The Ptolemaic dynasty, also known as the Lagids or Lagidae, was a Macedonian Greek royal family who ruled over Egypt.
Their rule lasted for 275 years, from 305 BC to 30 BC.
They were the last dynasty of ancient Egypt.
Ptolemy, was one of Alexander the Great's generals and deputies.
He was appointed satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death in 323 BC.
In 305 BC, he declared himself King Ptolemy I, later known as "Soter" (savior).
The Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemies as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt.
Unlike their previous rulers under the Achaemenid Empire, they usually lived in Egypt.
Ptolemy's family ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest of 30 BC.
All the male rulers of the dynasty took the name Ptolemy.
Ptolemaic queens, some of whom were the sisters of their husbands, were usually called Cleopatra, Arsinoe or Berenice.
The most famous, was the last queen, Cleopatra VII.
She was involved in the Roman political battles between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and later between Octavian and Mark Antony.
Her death marked the end of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt.
Ptolemaic rulers and consorts
Dates in brackets represent the ruling dates of the Ptolemaic pharaohs.
They often ruled jointly with their wives, who were often also their sisters.
Several queens exercised royal authority, but the most famous and successful was Cleopatra VII (51–30 BC), with her two brothers and her son as successive nominal co-rulers.
Several systems exist for numbering the later rulers; the one used here is the one most widely used by modern scholars.
Ptolemy I Soter (305–282 BC) married first (probably) Thaïs, secondly Artakama, thirdly Eurydice and finally Berenice I
Ptolemy II Philadelphus (282 BC–246 BC) married Arsinoe I, then Arsinoe II Philadelphus; ruled jointly with Ptolemy I Epigone (267–259 BC)
Ptolemy III Euergetes (246–221 BC) married Berenice II
Ptolemy IV Philopator (221–203 BC) married Arsinoe III
Ptolemy V Epiphanes (203–181 BC) married Cleopatra I
Ptolemy VI Philometor (181–164 BC, 163–145 BC) married Cleopatra II, briefly ruled jointly with Ptolemy Eupator in 152 BC
Ptolemy VII Neos Philopator (never reigned)
Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (Physcon) (170–163 BC, 145–116 BC) married Cleopatra II then Cleopatra III; temporarily expelled from Alexandria by Cleopatra II between 131 BC and 127 BC, reconciled with her in 124 BC.
Cleopatra II Philometora Soteira (131–127 BC), in opposition to Ptolemy VIII
Cleopatra III Philometor Soteira Dikaiosyne Nikephoros (Kokke) (116–101 BC) ruled jointly with Ptolemy IX (116–107 BC) and Ptolemy X (107–101 BC)
Ptolemy IX Soter II (Lathyros) (116–107 BC, 88–81 BC as Soter II) married Cleopatra IV then Cleopatra Selene; ruled jointly with Cleopatra III in his first reign
Ptolemy X Alexander I (107–88 BC) married Cleopatra Selene then Berenice III; ruled jointly with Cleopatra III till 101 BC
Berenice III Philopator (81–80 BC)
Ptolemy XI Alexander II (80 BC) married and ruled jointly with Berenice III before murdering her; ruled alone for 19 days after that.
Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (Auletes) (80–58 BC, 55–51 BC) married Cleopatra V Tryphaena
Cleopatra V Tryphaena (58–57 BC) ruled jointly with Berenice IV Epiphaneia (58–55 BC) and Cleopatra VI Tryphaena (58 BC)
Cleopatra VII Philopator (51–30 BC) ruled jointly with Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC), Ptolemy XIV (47–44 BC) and Ptolemy XV Caesarion (44–30 BC).
Arsinoe IV (48–47 BC) in opposition to Cleopatra VII
Other members of the Ptolemaic dynasty
Ptolemy Keraunos (died 279 BC) - eldest son of Ptolemy I Soter.
Eventually became king of Macedon.
Ptolemy Apion (died 96 BC) - son of Ptolemy VIII Physcon.
Made king of Cyrenaica.
Bequeathed Cyrenaica to Rome.
Ptolemy Philadelphus (born 36 BC) - son of Mark Antony and Cleopatra VII.
Ptolemy of Mauretania (died AD 40) - son of Juba II of Mauretania and Cleopatra Selene II, daughter of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony.
King of Mauretania.
Members of the Ptolemaic dynasty were described as extremely obese.
Their sculptures and coins show prominent eyes and swollen necks.
Graves' disease within the family could explain the swollen necks and eye prominence (exophthalmos), although this is unlikely if they were simply obese.
Members of this dynasty likely suffered from a multi-organ fibrotic condition such as Erdheim–Chester disease or a familial multifocal fibrosclerosis.
With this condition, then thyroiditis, obesity and ocular proptosis can all occur at the same time.

Hedjet is the name for the White Crown of Upper Egypt, used in Ancient Egypt.
The crown was white and after Lower and Upper Egypt joined together, it was combined with the Deshret, the Red Crown of Lower Egypt.
This Double Crown was called the Pschent.
The symbol sometimes used for the Hedjet was the vulture goddess Nekhbet.
This would be shown next to the head of the cobra goddess  Wadjet, the Uraeus  on the Pschent.
The white crown has a long history, going back into the Predynastic Period.
This shows that kingship had been the base of Egyptian society for some time.
The earliest image of the Hedjet was thought to have been in the Qustul in Nubia.
New discoveries, particularly the excavation of Cemetery U and the tome U-j, dating to Naqada IIIA have shown that it appears earlier in Egypt.
Nekhbet, the protective goddess of Nekhebet (modern el Kab) near Hierakonpolis, was shown as a woman, sometimes with the head of a vulture, wearing the White Crown.
The falcon god Horus of Hierakonpolis (Egyptian: Nekhen) was generally shown wearing a White Crown.
The White Crown is on the Narmer Palette found at Hierakonpolis.
It shows the king of the South wearing the hedjet, triumphing over his northern enemies.
Vases from the reign of Khasekhemwy show the king as Horus wearing the White Crown.
As with the Deshret (Red Crown), no example of the White Crown has survived.
It is unknown how it was made or what materials were used.
It is possible it was made from felt or leather.
The fact that no crown has ever been found, might suggest that the crown was passed from one ruler to the next, much as in present day monarchies.
