AQUILA Children’s Magazine is the most intelligent read for curious kids. Full of enthusiastic articles and
challenging puzzles, every issue covers science, history and general knowledge. AQUILA is a quality production,
beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork throughout.
● Intelligent reading for 8 -12 year -olds
● Cool science and challenging projects
● Inspires self -motivated learning
● Exciting new topic every issue
AQUILA is created and owned by an independent UK company. It has 28 pages,printed on high-quality paper
and there are no advertisements or posters. Instead it is full of well-written articles, thought-provoking ideas and
great contemporary artwork. Each monthly issue is centred around a new topic.
AQUILA works as a superb learning extension to current primary (or KS2 and KS3) curriculum (课程 ), but it is
much more than that! Entertaining and always surprising, AQUILA is recommended because it widens children’s
interest and understanding, rather than encouraging them to concentrate only on their favourite subjects. It gives
children a well -rounded understanding of the world, in all its complexity.
The concepts in AQUILA can be challenging, requiring good comprehension and reading skills. 8 years is
usually a good age to start. Some gentle interest from an adult is often helpful at the start.
In 2020 AQUILA will have been in publication for 28 years, but it has never appeared in newsstands or shops.
We are subscription only.

Jack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his
development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier,
Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism() after he did not reach
motion and language standards as expected.
Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he
celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool
that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in
theSmithtownschool district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and
effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.
According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be
considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still
had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among the
greatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if
he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”
Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle
change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the

A growing body of research is revealing associations between birth defects ( ) and a father's age, alcohol
use and environmental factors, say researchers atGeorgetown University Medical Center. They say these defects
result from epigenetic changes that can potentially affect multiple generations.
The study, published in theAmerican Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health
status of their offspring — a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says
the study's senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and
cellular biology.
“We know the nutritional, hormonal and psychological environment provided by the mother permanently
influences organ structure, cellular response and gene expression in her offspring,” she says.
“But our study shows the same thing to be true with fathers — his lifestyle, and how old he is, can be
reflected in molecules that control gene function,” she says. “In this way, a father can affect not only his
immediate offspring, but future generations as well.”

) alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), even though
the mother has never consumed alcohol, Kitlinska says. “Up to 75 percent of children with FASD have biological
fathers who are alcoholics, suggesting that preconceptual paternal alcohol consumption negatively impacts their
offspring.”
Advanced age of a father is correlated with elevated rates of certain diseases, and birth defects in his children.
A limited diet during a father’s preadolescence has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular death in his
children and grandchildren. Paternal obesity is linked to enlarged fat cells, changes in metabolic regulation,
diabetes, obesity and development of brain cancer. Psychosocial stress on the father is linked to defective
behavioral traits in his offspring. And paternal alcohol use leads to decreased newborn birth weight, marked
reduction in overall brain size and impaired cognitive function.
“This new field of inherited paternal epigenetics needs to be organized into clinically applicable
recommendations and lifestyle alternations,” Kitlinska says. “And to really understand the epigenetic influences of
a child, we need to study the interplay
