The Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing earned our Editors' Choice award, beating out all the other options in our Baby Swing review. It outshone the competition regarding soothing ability thanks to its fully customizable features. It has soft, plush fabrics, many song and nature sounds, and multiple swing directions. The quirkily patterned mobile can be turned on to rotate while the baby is in the swing and has a mirrored surface to entertain the baby from below. The seat is designed for a newborn up to 25 lbs and is sure to keep your baby happy.
Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing Review
Pros: Good soothing ability, multiple swing directions, interactive mobile
Cons: Large footprint, loud, difficult assembly
Manufacturer: Fisher-Price
The Skinny
Our Analysis and Test Results
Herman Fisher, Irving Price, and Helen Schelle got together in 1930 New York and together started the Fisher-Price toy company. Their mission was creating innovative baby toys that would be more fun and exciting than what was available at the time to better stimulate early development in babies and toddlers. Today, Fisher-Price is a household name in most homes with young children. It has grown to be more than just a toy company, offering baby gear products such as high chairs, bassinets, and baby swings as well as their iconic baby toys.
Performance Comparison
We are impressed with the functionality of this swing, once again. Its combination of soothe-ability, ease of use, quality, and safety features make it a parent favorite. It is the perfect place for a baby to calm down, nap, or chill while giving mom or dad a hands-free moment.
The main purpose of having a baby swing is to soothe a fussy baby, and this is where the Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing excels. The plush fabric found on the seat (above left) and insert are gentle on sensitive skin. The deep seat helps maintain proper hip flexion and gives a baby a feeling of being snuggled close. There are six swinging speeds and 16 different songs and soothing nature sounds. When being used at full speed it may get a bit loud compared to some of the competition, but this is likely more bothersome to parents than babies as some babies find the rhythmic whirring and clicking comforting.
There are two recline positions, the first is nearly flat for younger infants (above right), and the second is more upright for when your baby is older and has better head and neck control, usually around four months. The Cradle 'n Swing is one of the few products in the review that has multiple swing directions and can be easily rotated to either the left or right using a button at the top of the swing. The direction of the motor remains the same, but turning the seat allows it to swing front to back or side-to-side. The best part is that all this can be done while the baby is in place, so you don't have to worry about adjusting things while holding a crabby child in your arms.
The mobile on the Cradle 'n Swing was one of the best in the group. It is the only mobile that is not stationary, and turning it on will make the cute leaves and brightly colored animals rotate above your baby. The underside of the motor has convex, mirrored surface so that baby can see their reflection. This mobile design includes much thought for baby's enjoyment, and it paid off as it easily keeps little ones entertained while in the seat.
Ease of Use
Out of the box assembly of the Cradle 'n Swing is a bit more involved than some others. It requires an included tool and a close read of the instruction manual to get everything set up. Once assembled, however, the controls are very intuitive (below left) and easy to use, and we never had any problems or reason to refer to the manual again.
We like the style of the 5-point harness (below right) because all of the straps are separate and can be laid out of the way while putting the baby in place. This also means that the harness can be strapped around the baby, rather than having to try and fit wiggly limbs through the armholes. The crotch strap has a padded backing to avoid any potential pinching.
Unfortunately, the Cradle 'n Swing is very large. It has the most substantial footprint of the competition, taking up 1,540 sq inches of floor space. If it is ever necessary to move or store this swing, the back support can be unhooked in order to fold the legs together, but this does not really change the bulk of the swing, so we recommend having a dedicated space where it can remain set up during the months it is used.
The Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing is a good quality product. The components of the swing all feel sturdy, and the fabric holds up well through multiple washes. Some long-term users have reported that the motor starts to have issues after three months, especially when consistently used with heavier babies. However, this doesn't seem to be a common problem, and Fisher-Price covers the swing parts under warranty, so getting a replacement shouldn't be too difficult.
Regarding safety, this swing checks all the required boxes. The deep seat keeps the baby in an ergonomically correct position and allows enough recline that there is no worry of slumping over in a way that could block the air passage. It has a 5-point harness to keep baby secure, and an extra-wide base to keep the swing stable at full speed. The bottoms of the feet have a rubberized material to keep it from edging itself over with the swing's momentum.
Other Versions
Fisher-Price makes a wide variety of baby swings in addition to the Cradle 'n Swing. A few alternate options to consider are:
- Fisher-Price Deluxe Take-Along Swing & Seat is Fisher-Price's portable baby swing. It has six swing speeds, a vibration setting, and can be folded for easy storage or transport.
- The Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing is a full-size swing with many of the same features as the Cradle 'n Swing reviewed here. It has multiple swing directions, songs and nature sounds, and a cool mobile. Additionally, it has a starlight show and canopy above baby's head. It also has a removable play tray that goes over baby's lap.

Leap Summer Camp
Specialized Therapists
Your child will enjoy having Speech-Language Pathologists and other specialists facilitate the overall development of your child. Because our staff has expertise in the area of speech and language development, our program is equipped to meet the needs of your child.
Whether your child is typically developing or speech and language delayed, LEAP provides an atmosphere that every child can only benefit from.
What is LEAP?
Language Enrichment & Acquisition Program
The Language Enrichment and Acquisition Program is a language program for children ages three to six years of age. Speech-Language Pathologists integrate speech and language intervention with play and everyday activities. LEAP is for both typically developing children and children with speech and language impairments.
LEAP includes both typically developing children and preschoolers with normal intelligence but some language impairment. Language impairments can include problems with pronunciation, syntax, sentence construction or using inappropriate voice to communicate.
The curriculum is structured to encourage the children to talk to each other and to their teachers as they move from one activity to the next. Activities include structured free play, sharing, stories and music, and snacks. Weekly themes are used as a basis to plan activities. Speech and language intervention is integrated into all of the daily activities of the program for the children with speech and language impairments.
All children, both typically developing and language impaired, benefit from language enrichment. The program teaches communication skills that all the children can benefit from. Here at LEAP, children will learn to think about thinking. The program promotes a strong foundation for learning to read and write and for later academic success.
A Look at the Curriculum
Circle & Sharing Time
The children greet each other and tell the group something about their day. Orientation about the child's environment is discussed using props like the weather bear and giant calendar. Explanation of theme and corresponding materials are presented.
Children have an opportunity to present a "show-and-tell" item to the group. Each child holds the floor for 2-3 minutes as child-child interactions and conversational turn taking are facilitated.
Motor Activity Time
Large motor activities facilitate full body activity including outside play, exercises, games with movement, etc. Children will be interacting with each other, based on direction from adults; large group or small group activities are planned to encourage child-child/child-adult interactions.
Play Centers
Different activities at each play center revolve around a theme. Play centers include activities focused on art, dramatic play, books, and sensory integration. Children have an opportunity to choose their desired play center for the day. At this time therapists have opportunities to provide one-on-one speech and language facilitation for the children.

Disco Bowling
As the game name suggests, bowling gets colorful. The disco ball leads you into the world of Disco Bowling. And with this we are at the challenge that awaits you in this game. Before you start, you have the opportunity to look at a brief introduction. Also, if you do not remember exactly know where to go during the game, you can go back and look at these explanations at any time. With one click on "Start", the disco music welcomes you to the bowling alley. If this bothers you in your concentration, the music can also be disabled, as well as the sounds upon your throw. The actual game takes place in three steps. First you see a hand holding the bowling ball. The goal is to place the bowling ball somewhere on the bowling alley by hitting the left mouse button. Right after that you will see a bar on the left, which is entitled "Power" and which indicates how much energy the ball is going to have. While you push the mouse forward or backward, the bar goes up or down. Once it is all filled up, it has the maximum strength and is sent on its way toward the bowling pins. Now you have access to the third way of controlling the ball by moving the mouse left or right. Directly in front of you, an arrow will then be displayed, which bends accordingly so that you can see which way the bowling ball is going to go. To manage a perfect throw in Disco Bowling, a little practice is needed. This you can do until the ball hits the first pin. A round consists of 10 turns with 2 throws each. Can you manage to successfully complete the challenges of Disco Bowling?

Exercise Bikes
Exercise Bikes
It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle but how many of you have been struggling to hit the gym? We understand that it becomes hectic to go to the gym every day, but what if we told you that you can get to the gym at home. Yes, an exercise bike is a great option to help you stay healthy. A great exercise cycle is one that is easy to operate and fun to use. These cycles provide a number of benefits to users, irrespective of their level of fitness or fitness goals. They help in increasing your endurance and tone your muscles. The WHO, as an effective method for weight loss, has recommended fitness exercise cycles. It is great for the back and joints. Also, checkout Elliptical Cross Trainers for a complete workout
Questions Which Will Help You Choose:
Exercise Bikes come in two variants - upright and recumbent. So it is important to understand your fitness needs, before picking up the type that best suits you. Also, ensure that you invest in an exercise cycle that has smooth-functioning pedals, height adjustment, and safety features.
A Wide Range of Exercise cycles to Choose From:
Domyos at Decathlon lets you buy gym cycle online in India, which is embedded with electronic trackers and adequate safety features.
Top Features:
Functions: The stationary cycles include features that display the number of calories burnt, distance, time, speed and heart rate. An efficient exercise cycle's flywheel should enable smooth pedalling.
Seat: It is very important to choose a seat that suits you best. Ensure that the seat you choose is large enough to accommodate various sizes (if being used by multiple users).
Height Adjustability: It is always useful to choose an exercise cycle that has flexible height adjustments so that users of various heights can use exercise cycles with ease.
Safety: It is necessary to ensure that all the moving parts such as chains and belts are covered with a safety shroud.
The right adjustment of your exercise bike
Before beginning to train on your exercise bike, the right adjustment is essential. To do it, we recommend adjusting the height of the saddle to hip level. Your leg should be slightly flexed when your foot is at the lowest point on the pedal. On certain models, you can adjust the depth of the saddle, as well as the height of the handlebars, in order to easily adapt to each individual body type.
The Console
These exercise cycles are fitted with a console that displays helpful information regarding your session, such as your speed, distance travelled, riding time, average calories burned.
Check the components of the exercise cycle that are designed to provide a comfortable ride:
Seat and handlebars: We recommend an exercise cycle with a seat and handlebars that can be adjusted both height-wise and depth-wise. The height of the saddle should be adjusted so that your leg is slightly bent when the pedal is at its lowest.
Domyos exercise cycles are designed for users measuring 1.55 to 1.95 metres.
Toe clips or pedal straps: These provide your muscles with a better workout. An exercise cycle with a step-through (open) frame makes it easier to get on the cycle (especially for those with reduced mobility).
Max user weight: Check the total weight compared with the user weight. All Domyos exercise cycles are designed for a maximum user weight of 130 kg.
Stability: Check that your exercise cycle is equipped with stabilizers that ensure that the cycle remains stable while in use regardless of your floor type.
Easy to get on and off: You should check whether the frame of the exercise cycle is open enough (known as "step-through") to allow you to get on the cycle without having to climb over the crossbar.
Moving the exercise cycle around: Exercise cycles with wheels are highly practical. Domyos exercise cycles all come with wheels, allowing you to easily move your bike around your house and store it wherever you like.
Decathlon provides you with a number of stationary gym cycles to choose from. Buy the exercise cycle of your desire online.

The relation between emotional and physical health
Most people are aware of the mind-body connection; how your mental processes can affect your physical state. A frightening experience can cause you to faint, an angry disposition can bring on back pain, a positive attitude can aid in recovery from disease and stress can kill you.
This idea has been a fundamental premise in many ancient healing systems, including Hippocrates, the 'Father of Western Medicine', who taught that good health depends on a balance of mind, body and environment.RELATED: RECOMMENDED PLANS FOR YOU
"A basic emotion such as fear can be described as an abstract feeling or as a tangible molecule of the hormone adrenaline," writes Deepak Chopra in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. "Without the feeling there is no hormone; without the hormone there is no feeling … The revolution we call mind-body medicine was based on this simple discovery: wherever thought goes, a chemical goes with it."
The effect of emotions upon the body
In Greek Medicine, as in other ancient medical systems, the internal organs are seen as being strongly affected by the emotions. For example;
The colon
– Very vulnerable to aggravations and excesses of the Melancholic emotions – especially chronic or deeply held worry, anxiety and nervous or emotional stress and tension. Security issues and deep insecurities will also impact negatively on the colon, so physically this can produce symptoms like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome or spastic colon, and if the aggravation is severe, even colitis and more serious degenerative diseases may result.
The adrenal glands
– Our fight-or-flight adrenaline response is excessively provoked by acute stress and emotional outbursts of anger and frustration in those whose lives have become an over-dramatized emotional roller coaster. Chronic stress aggravates the functioning of hormones like cortisol, which can lead to weight gain, especially in the lower body and midriff, as well as rising blood sugar, if the stress is constant and unresolved.
The throat
– The body's main communications centre. An inability to speak one's truth will often cause physical problems with the throat; in extreme cases, one may even become mute and unable to speak. The throat is also the upper end of the digestive tract, and hence part of a bigger physical and emotional system. Acute emotional tensions and anxieties can agitate,say,the liver, causing it to rise and get bottlenecked in the throat; one then feels like they're choking on something, or has something lodged in the throat, a condition called Globus Hystericus.
Emotional feelings of sadness, grief or intense sentimentality can cause a lump in the throat. Stuffing one's emotions and feelings down one's throat can have a huge impact on health, and will increase the vulnerability to dysfunction and disease.
The discovery of the mind-body connection
There is this extraordinarily intimate two-way communication going on between our body and mind that affects both our physical state and our mental and emotional health and modern science is also recognising this.
It began in the 1920s, when Harvard scientist Walter Cannon, MD, identified the fight-or-flight response through which the body secretes hormones such as epinephrine and nonepinephrine. When they enter the blood stream, these hormones produce changes in the body – i.e. a quickened heart or increased breathing rate, that put the person in a better physical state to escape or confront danger.
In the following decade, Hungarian-born scientist Hans Selye, MD, pioneered the field of stress research by describing how the wear-and-tear of constant stress could affect us biologically.
The Placebo effect
One of the best ways of seeing how this works is via the Placebo effect:
The word placebo comes from the Latin for "I will please," and occurs when a fake treatment, an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution can inexplicably improve a patient's condition simply because the person has the expectation that it will be helpful.
Ted Kaptchuk, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, conducted a study with a group of subjects who had joined hoping to alleviate severe arm pain: carpal tunnel, tendinitis, chronic pain in the elbow, shoulder or wrist.
The results
In one part of the study, half the subjects received pain-reducing pills; the others were offered acupuncture treatments. And in both cases people began to call in, saying they couldn't get out of bed. The pills were making them sluggish, the needles caused swelling and redness; some patients' pain ballooned to nightmarish levels.
"The side effects were simply amazing," Kaptchuk explains; curiously, they were exactly what patients had been warned their treatment might produce. But even more astounding, most of the other patients reported real relief, and those who received acupuncture felt even better than those on the anti-pain pill. These were exceptional findings: no one had ever proven that acupuncture worked better than painkillers.
But Kaptchuk's study didn't prove it, either!
The pills his team had given patients were actually made of cornstarch; the "acupuncture" needles were retractable shams that never pierced the skin. The study wasn't aimed at comparing two treatments. It was designed to compare two fakes.
The "self-healing" experiment
A study at the Harvard Medical School took this one step further. People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) were given a placebo and informed participants beforehand that the pills they were being given were made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, though that they have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes.
What the researchers found was startling in its implications for medicine.
Despite being aware they were taking placebos, the participants rated their symptoms as "moderately improved" on average. In other words, they knew what they were taking wasn't a drug — it was a medical "nothing" — but the very consciousness of taking something made them experience fewer symptoms.
Moving forward
Remember, your body responds to the way you think, feel and act. So next time you are stressed, anxious, have a niggling back pain or headache- listen to your body- it is trying to give you a message and let you know that something isn't quite right.

Questions? Comments?
E-mail our editor.
Dear Editor,
Although I agree with many of the points Dr. Adamec raises in his "insight"
piece on mandatory retirement (Gazette, April 27, 2006), I think that
the issue is much more complex than what is presented in such a brief overview
of the topic.
I can only offer anecdotal evidence as I was a graduate student in the United States in 1993, when the Supreme Court passed the law against age discrimination. When I finished my undergraduate degree in 1992, there were many saying that this was the "right time" to enter the field as Cold War professors would soon be retiring.
However, with the Supreme Court's ruling, there was a major shift in the retirement and hiring cycle within Russian departments and it became increasingly difficult to find academic work for the next 10 years.
There were a few years in the late '90s when only two or three tenure-track jobs were offered in all of the United States and Canada for a certain year and many graduate students ahead of me abandoned the field because it was clear that they would not find work in academia.
At the same time, the average age of the faculty grew older and students (also due to many other factors) saw Russian as a less vibrant and interesting field to pursue.
An overall decline in student numbers meant that when some of these Russian professors retired, their positions were redistributed to Medicine, Business, Engineering, etc.
Overall, there was a general loss in Russian positions and it is only within the last four years that double-digit tenure track positions are being offered again on the MLA job list.
This said, I do not think that we can make broad statements about productivity and age. My PhD advisor was 66 when I defended my dissertation and since then, he has published a book, several articles and is considered the most active researcher in his department.
However, the fact that tenure protects academic freedom and also allows for the abuse of such job security suggests that we cannot automatically repeal mandatory retirement without also instituting some sort of tenure review.
I agree with Dr. Adamec that mandatory retirement should be discussed and possibly overturned, but only after a very lengthy discussion with all members of the university community.
Frederick H. White
Assistant professor
Department of German and Russian
Neither Professor Adamec nor any of the other propagandists I have read on
this subject (Challenging mandatory retirement, Gazette, April 27,
2006) have addressed the rank social injustice of ending mandatory retirement.
Younger faculty are increasingly frozen out of the benefits of the full-time tenured employment taken for granted by our older colleagues. While so many of us remain consigned to the limbo of temporary labour it is galling to think that aging baby boomers, the most privileged group of individuals in the history of this country, feel no obligation to share their very considerable slice of the pie.
Should any society devote scarce resources to making an already comfortable 67 year old man feel useful in his golden years while a single mother in her mid-30s has to scrounge for part-time teaching?
Does Professor Adamec not think that chronic underemployment might negatively impact her "mental health and longevity"? There are surely other ways for aging baby boomers to remain productive (ever heard of writing a book?) besides hogging salaried positions in perpetuity.

A few weeks ago we took a ride out to an area generally referred to nationwide as "the Hamptons" — a string of English-founded towns* on the southeastern extreme of Long Island, many of which end in the suffix -"hampton" {ie. Bridgehampton, Easthampton, Southampton, etc.}
The "Hamptons" are a culturally distinct entity for several reasons. One is that they are the New York-adjacent playground of the rich and khaki. This is a place where Jerry Seinfeld and Puff Daddy are neighbors. The Hamptons are also the last area on Long Island where the indigenous population plays a political role. Indeed, the "big" question is whether or not a casino will be built on Indian land.
At the glorious Easthampton beach, as seen above, we went to enjoy the ocean, except Epp got a little bit more of the north Atlantic than she bargained for. The waves looked nasty, and I could tell that there were few people in the water because they feared getting beaten in the surf. But Epp waded in, sort of waving off our beach paranoia, until {boom} she disappeared under a breaking wave.
The next thing I saw, as the waves retreated from the shore, was Epp's leg sticking up through the foamy surf. She pulled herself up and started to make her way back, with a sort of surprised, nervous grin on her face, when {boom} another wave knocked her down. I was holding our daughter, so my father, who was with us, made his way down and helped her out of the mess.
It turns out we weren't so paranoid. There have been a number of drownings in recent weeks on the ocean side of the island, following a similar pattern, where the strong currents, encouraged by storm systems to the south, sweep inexperienced swimmers away to a place where teams of divers and rescuers cannot find them. We could sense the danger because we have grown up here, but Epp couldn't, because she hadn't.
It reminds me of an inverse story where Epp ridiculed my lack of natural knowledge. We were in Rhode Island, and we happened upon a crop of mushrooms in the grass. Epp saw them and instantly knew she could make food out of them. But I had been taught from an early age not to tango with wild mushrooms. My friend does pick them, but he learned his 'shrooming skills from books on fungi and a wandering Pole he met one day who enlightened him to 'shroom harvesting techniques.
To your average suburbanite, or whatever you wish to call people who live in suburban-like areas an hour plus from a metropolis, the knowledge of which mushrooms are edible and which ones are not so nice was lost long ago. I have no idea, and no one ever imparted that knowledge to me. But Epp knew, and to her my paranoia about mushrooms seemed silly. In her opinion, something so natural could hardly be seen as dangerous.
But maybe that is just the difference between North America and Europe. Epp was quite amused one day when I told her not to go near the shiny, three-leaved plant preposterously known as 'poison ivy.' To her, no plant could seriously exist. For Estonians, you see, nature is friend. To, at least, northeasterners, nature is a place where one must tread carefully. After several others reinforced my 'stay away from poison ivy' message, Epp came to believe that there really were these nasty plants that could leave you with an itching, oozing rash.
Estonia, though, has its own bounty of natural surprises. One, the ubiquitous stinging nettles, I have already touched on here. But, in my mind, tenderfoot visitors to Estonia should beware of its armies of killer ants. I am serious. A few years ago in Suure-Jaani, I took a wrong step near a playground and my foot was submerged in a sea of moving, red, hostile insects. The litte girl nearby stammered "sipelgad!" {ants!}, which my beginner's ear heard as "sibulad!" {onions!}.
More recently, while mowing the lawn {always a treacherous activity}, I picked up a plastic tube that belonged to one of my daughter's toys. I shook the tube to remove the dirt inside, when it seemed a handful of white rice slid out onto the backyard table. But it wasn't rice; it was a red ant's nest, and those were their little babies. Needless to say, they were really pissed off, and by the end of the day, I had two or three bites on my hand — and when Estonian ants sting, it hurts.
Sometimes, I guess, the best way to learn about nature is to experience first hand.
* There are Dutch-founded towns on Long Island as well, such as Hempstead {Hemestede}, and Flushing {Vlissingen}.

Sailing: 28 March 2020
Discover desert delights, ancient pyramids, and the Suez Canal
This is the voyage of opposites: modern vs. ancient, desert vs. oasis, but all similarly breathtaking. From Dubai, sail to Oman: modern high-rises vs. the architecture of the ancients. Spend four luxurious days at sea indulging in our spa experiences and specialty dining before arriving in the port city of Safaga, where an overnight gives you plenty of time to discover the renowned healing properties of the mineral rich waters of the Red Sea.
A late stay in Eilat—home to stunning beaches, spectacular coral reefs, and excellent hiking–provides ample opportunity to explore this popular resort area on land or under the sea. An overnight in Jordan introduces Aqaba. History buffs will want to head to the ancient city of Petra, carved into rock. Nature lovers may prefer Wadi Rum, one of the most amazing desert landscapes in the world, said to resemble the moon. With two full days in Aqaba, there's time to try both.
Next, we make for the modern marvel of engineering with passage through the Suez Canal en route to the Mediterranean. Check a visit to the pyramids off your bucket list in Alexandria, and take a selfie with the Sphinx. Your voyage concludes in Europe's oldest city, Athens, where you may want to stay for a few days before heading home. Of course, you could probably spend a lifetime in Athens and not see everything it has to offer.

Chef Philippe Schmit calls himself "the French cowboy." It's a self-assigned nickname that can also apply to the overall aesthetic at his namesake restaurant, Philippe, which is the subject of this week's cafe review.
Schmit's food is strongly French, make no doubt about it. But in among the French standards -- the coq au vin or the foie gras -- are cheeky Texan touches that translate elegantly in dishes like duck tamales or "pigs in a blanket," a slightly Texan twist on pork blanquette.
On his blog, Schmit explains these touches in a recent post about adding pecan pie to his list of holiday offerings alongside Bûche de Noël: "Texas traditions also make me happy," he says, going on to assure his diners that the pie is "deep dish style, with bourbon and chocolate chips!"
The Texan touches at Philippe extend to the decor, too, which hosts pops of cowhide among the steely-chic lounge downstairs and the modern Louis XIV-style vibe upstairs in the grand dining room.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
It's precisely these fond nods to Texana that keep Philippe itself grounded and fun without ever being fussy, and it's what gives the impression that you're both in a New York City hotspot and a Houston restaurant all at the same time. (The aggressively priced menu doesn't hurt either.)
Take a trip through Philippe's richly appointed dining room and busy kitchen, then make your own reservation at the restaurant to experience it all for yourself. It's my top pick of places to spend New Year's Eve (were I able to spend it in Houston): The downstairs lounge will feature a balloon drop and champagne toast at midnight, with food specials all evening long. Just remember: At Philippe, you always need a reservation.

Bulletproof Your Morning With Bulletproof Coffee
How To Turn Your Morning Brew Into Your Personal Fountain of Youth
One of the hot trends in fitness the past few years has been the concept of Bulletproof Coffee. If you have never tried it or have been curious about it, it's essentially using fats to fuel your day. Now when you first hear the sound of that you may be thinking "Wait, I'm drinking FAT coffee?!?" or "Doesn't fat make me fat?"
In reality, fueling your body with energizing Omega-3 fats can be a great source of energy, an effective weight loss tool, and your weapon for Anti-Aging! As I like to say, the right fats can help you Think, Shrink, and Not Wrink ;)
I'll go through each of those so you can get started today seeing good results.
Fats Help You THINK: Fats are a readily accessible source of energy for the brain cells and when you consider that the brain is 3/5 fat it makes no sense to go low-fat. Medium-chain fatty acids are vital to keep good health and when it comes to staying mentally sharp, coconut oil will power the brain for hours!
Fats Help You SHRINK: When we wake up in the morning our body is primed for fat loss. We have been in this 'fasting' state and the body has good fat burning potential. When we take in a morning bagel, cereal, or some other high carb breakfast this shuts down our fat burning. This is where using fats in our coffee became the great weight loss weapon that also gave us sustained energy for hours. Also increasing good fats in our diet can have a positive impact on our carb sensitivity if we are struggling with weight loss. Is this the perfect solution for every person? No, we all process carbs, fats and dairy products differently so you have to find out if it works for you. Try a little fat in your coffee and assess how you feel.
Fats Help You Not WRINK (Wrinkle): Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer for the skin and provides excellent nourishment to the cells which delays the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. Also, the antioxidants that it is well known for it are highly effective for degenerative skin diseases and premature aging. Honestly, search for coconut oil benefits and you'll find an extensive list of amazing things coconut oil can do for us. It's really a remarkable oil!
How To Make Bulletproof Coffee:
- 1 tbsp of Grass Fed Butter
- 1 Tbsp of Coconut Oil
- Blend with your coffee
I like to add a dash of cinnamon, some cocoa powder, protein powder and some nectar or maple syrup.
Enjoy Jeff

No Excuse Nutrition
How To STOP Make Excuses And START Making It Happen!
If you are finding yourself hitting a plateau in your fitness or struggling with reaching the goals you have set for yourself, then today I am going to show you exactly how to break through those barriers with just learning the 3 R's. Don't worry, it's Reading, Writing and Arithmetic ;)
Now it's not going to be easy, but if you can say to yourself that you are truly serious about getitng results then you can get started today!
The Three R's
Be Reasonable:
I call this finding your "B".
When I meet with someone the first question I ask them is what is your A – Z? In other words, where are you right now, and ultimately where do you want to get to.
I like to say that we are "GPSing" their fitness goals.
They tell me their starting point and destination and I help plot out their points to get there.
Before we can get to "Z" we have to first go from A to B. Don't miss this point. The reason that most resolutions and goals fail is that they are not reasonable goals but instead are these huge changes that end up being much too difficult a jump from our current habits. It's like going from A to M.
What is reasonable?
What's an easy first step we can take to see some positive changes? If you set a goal for yourself and you don't think you can maintain that 6 months from now, then that is not a reasonable goal. Think simpler. Many of the first steps can be just getitng started with something small.
Be Realistic:
One of the questions I also ask my clients when is could they maintain that goal on the craziest, busiest week of the year.
Sure, if it's a really slow week and you have plenty of free time you can probably do awesome with meal prepping, workouts, etc.. But what about when it's chaos week at work and you have activities and events every evening?
If you think it would be hard to maintain it during those times it's not a great goal to set because trust me, life WILL get hard. Think small, think simple.
Be Refelective:
I call this finding your WHY. Okay, so you want to go from A to Z? Why?
It's suprising how many of my clients cannot answer this the first time I meet with them. They know they want to change, but they can't explain to me why this is important to them. Not at first anyway.
After some gentle prodding and getting them to let their guard down we finally get to the truth of why they want to work towards their goal. It's here that real growth happens and it's here I want to encourage you to start.
Take some time to reflect on why you want to lose 30 lbs., compete in a tough mudder, hit a new Deadlift PR.
How is reaching that particular fitness goal going to spiral out and impact the rest of your life?
Once we know our A to Z and we understand why we need to be there, the goals we set become much more manageable.
Bottom Line: Get started mapping out your own GPS for where you want to go and how you are going to get there. Start with A and get to B.
To set up your own personal 1-On-1 Success Session with me personally email me at email@example.com and let me GPS your fitness blueprint.
Magnify the Good,

I need help on how to write a journal article critique on one of the attached articles. Half of the paper must be the summary of the article and the second part my insight (no first person). Attached is the article found on eric.gov.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 9, 2019, 11:54 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
First off, I would like to say that your choice of articles is fantastic. They give plenty of information and are insightful giving plenty of opportunity for critiquing. To begin, you will want to make sure that you understand what the article is telling you.
From what I have read, a short summary would be along the lines of : The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test is administered each year to all graduating seniors. According to Florida state law, all public school seniors must pass this exam in order to graduate from high school. However, according to Borg, Plumlee and Stranahan's article Plenty of Children Left Behind: High-Stakes Testing and Graduation Rates in Duval County, Florida, some students are lacking the skills necessary to pass these tests.
For definition purposes, high-stakes testing refers to tests in which the results are used to make important decisions about educators, administrators, students and schools.
As previous studies have shown, race and ethnicity are factors that may skew test results for students taking the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). It is also shown that minorities from poor, less educated or transient households score lower on the FCAT due to the lack of resources and the increasing score needed to pass the exam.
Borg, Plumlee and Stranahan's article, however takes this issue one step further. Looking at one district's FCAT ...

Error installing MariaDB on Ubuntu 16.04 LEMP
Have a relatively default latest Ubuntu server (16.04) running LEMP.
Unlike all the other wonderful step by step tutorials the page here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/switching-to-mariadb-from-mysql simple said to uninstall (even though commenters said not necessary) and then install and provided a link another website without any further details. None the less, installed following those instruction.
When installing using the instructions on the MariaDB site: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=digitalocean-nyc&distro=Ubuntu&distro_release=xenial–ubuntu_xenial&version=10.1 all steps work except the last when it actually tries to install.

I assume this must be a common issue since I'm using the latest stable Ubuntu and using the latest stable MariaDB. What am I missing?


text: I always encourage my couples to choose a location that is special to them for their engagement session, so Rebecca & Min chose Shoreline Park in Mt. View as the backdrop. They were friends of a couple, whose wedding I photographed a couple years ago, but I had not met them before this day. My goals were to make sure they felt relaxed during our shoot and to document the amazing chemistry they had together. It was funny because right away I had found a cool area where the weeds were way over our heads. Rebecca and Min thought I was nuts to drag them down this ravine surrounded by dead grass. I just gave them a big 'ol smile and said, "The lighting there is beautiful, so that's where we need to be." After everything was said and done, we ended up with some super fun photos with a bunch of different looks.

Can't Skip Function? Girls Can Nevertheless Flex May possibly On A Day With no A Lady
Proverb Continuous work without rest or relaxation is damaging to one's private life and effectively-becoming. Students who finish their courses in Winter Term 1 (December) and graduate in the spring (May) will be eligible to hold a Operate Understand in Winter Term two only. My husband and I had lived in Texas for only a brief time when wolf spiders of almost every size began appearing many occasions a week everywhere in our apartment house.
Many folks think of a degree in human solutions as applying only to jobs with-in the realm of social function such as counselors, caseworkers or advocates. I went to school in Paso Robles and covered the operate needed for 10th-year students in the California school program, and entered Manual Arts for the 11th year upon my release.
When employers submit their proposal for the plan, they select a wage from the Position Classification Guide that matches the level and variety of perform outlined in their proposal. Students are not eligible for Perform Find out positions when analysis is based on their own thesis perform. Graduate students on a leave of absence are eligible to hold a Operate Learn position.
Discovering my trade of no instant benefit, I threw off my calking habiliments, and ready myself to do any kind of function I could get to do. Mr. Johnson kindly let me have his wood-horse and saw, and I extremely quickly found myself a lot of function. It was new, dirty, and hard function for me but I went at it with a glad heart and a prepared hand.
Students are not eligible to hold a Perform Discover position in the exact same term they are holding a co-op position, NSERC Undergraduate Student Investigation Award (USRA), or Canada Summer season Job. The unit for measuring perform is the identical as that for energy in any system of units, because function is just a transfer of power.

HUDSON – In dire need of new, unused pillows, Fresh Start Furniture Bank this week received a donation of 100 pillows from Long Automotive.
Fresh Start, located on Tower Street, provides one-time assistance in helping those in need turn their house or apartment into a home. The furniture bank provides furniture, home goods, appliances, silverware, dressers, blankets, towels and pillows to clients referred by more than 200 human service agencies across the state.
The all-volunteer organization is in need of new pillows. Long Automotive is celebrating its 90th anniversary in business and is awarding a $10,000 grant to a local human service organization. Sue Waudby, co-director of Fresh Start, told Long officials about the bank's need for pillows while interviewing for the $10,000 grant and the auto dealer decided to donate 100 pillows.
"Geoff (Schultz) and Sue were telling us about the need for pillows," said Scott Barry, of Long Automotive.
Waudby said Long's donation will help several local families.
"We're out of pillows," she said. "Everybody wants them. They'll go fast. They're using their sweatshirt or nothing (as a pillow)."
Fresh Start is holding fundraising drives to help purchase new pillows. If Fresh Start receives the $10,000 grant from Long Automotive, the organization will likely use the grant to purchase more pillows, general operating funds and potentially purchase more space for its showroom.
The furniture bank has seen an increase in the number of clients recently. Schultz estimated the bank will provide 360 households with 7,700 pieces of furniture this year. In 2016, the bank aided 258 households with 4,115 pieces of furniture.
"It would be nice to have more space," said Schultz, Fresh Start co-director.
For more information or to donate items call 508-485-2080.

Very quick&dirty 30 seconds implementation of the idea from http://meetthegimp.org/hue-slider/
In fact, I did use the hue slider, but pre-gimp - in ufraw. The different shapes of the trees help emphasize the effect.
Worth noting: While making this (two layers with different wb and different ufraw hue settings and one almost transparent layer in burn to enhance the orange tone) took about 30 seconds, it took twice as long for gimp to even display the final image, thanks to still unoptimized gegl code. So it's faster to arrange the layers first and only activate gegl rendering for exporting the image.

A reverse chronological resume lists a person's job experiences in chronological order. It generally covers past 10 to 15 years.It is used by those persons who are not a professional resume writer. In this format, the main body of the document becomes the professional experience section. This format starts forms the most recent experience and moving chronologically backward through a succession of previous experience.
Functional resume:
A functional resume lists work experience and skill area or job function. It is used to focus on skills that are required by the nature of job and position.It works well for those making a career change, having a varied work history or with little work experience and also for those applications to jobs that require very specific skills. Rather than focus on length of time that has passed, it allows the reader to identify required skills quickly.

Recording & Studio Microphones for Every Budget
A recording or studio microphone is typically a large diaphragm condenser microphone with high sensitivity and high quality. A studio mic is typically designed around studio recording or use in a home studio. Recording microphones and accessories are designed to make sure you can record the cleanest tracks possible.
Analog or Digital
Recording mics are available as analog with XLR connectors or as digital USB microphones. We normally recommend using analog microphones with an audio interface for recording. A computer can usually only record from one interface at a time. You have more options when using an audio interface with analog microphones.
Condenser or Dynamic
Recording condenser microphones use phantom power to operate and usually more sensitive to sound. This makes them a better choice for recording than a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphones are usually a better choice for live performances. But, as with anything, sound is personal preference and different solutions work for different people.
Choosing Your Vocal Recording Microphone
For most budget is king, but selecting the best type of studio microphone for your vocal recordings will really be the key here. Here are a few of our favorite "microphone types" specifically designed for vocal recording applications.
Condenser microphones: This is the most popular type of mic for recording vocals, for recording anything, really. The reason condenser mics are so great is because of their quality and accuracy. Construction quality and of any kind song or spoken word. Condenser mics are also built very well and have polar patterns that aid in sound isolation for only recording what's directly in front of it, as opposed to some other microphones designed for recording everything in the area.
Tube microphones: While still technically considered a 'condenser' microphone, tube mics are sometimes associated with "the old days". Really it's a warmth that is added. "Old" sound can even sound better than some digital based sound these days (of course it depends on who you ask).
Basically, tube mics are built differently than normal condensers, and they have 'tubes' that handle your audio as opposed to transistors. The result is a different 'sound', very subject to and really depending on both the listener and recorder. We recommend giving tube microphones a listen to hear for yourself. This can help decide whether you want a tube microphone or a regular condenser microphone.
USB microphones: Not really considered a 'type' and still technically 'condenser mics' as well. We would still like to keep USB microphones separate for a few reasons. They are a lot easier to use and are mostly for beginner vocalists. USB microphones are plug & play, you simply plug them into your computer and they're powered up and ready to use.
USB microphones are usually more affordable than some professional condenser microphones out there. However, their quality is not as high as standard condenser mics. Also, you lose the ability to hook them up to a preamp or audio interface for flexibility in your recording settings.
Recording Microphones for Instruments
Microphones for instrument music recording are a personal choice. There are some brands, makes and models that always work well to capture the sound any instrument. There are also microphones designed with specific instruments in mind.
Whether recording a piano; acoustic guitar or other stringed instruments; drums, percussion, cymbals or overheads; or woodwinds and brass of many types, there is a recording mic that will be perfect for you.
For instruments, you can't go wrong with any Neumann "U" series mic, Electro-Voice RE20, Sennheiser MD 421 and AKG's C414 multi-pattern condenser. These are just a few of the superb instrument microphones we offer and are good additions to any microphone kit.
Instrument microphones should have a broader range of frequency response and should be very flat and faithful to the sounds they are hearing.
Microphone Stand
Recording microphones of any kind should be mounted on some kind of stand. Desktop scissor-type microphone boom stands are popular for vocals. Mobile studio boom stands are also really popular as are all the other standard microphone stands out there.
Mounting your microphone on a stand will prevent handling noise and help isolate the microphone from sounds and vibrations in the room.
Pop Filter
A good pop filter is a must for recording vocals and a valuable addition to your recording tools. If you have a microphone with someone speaking, singing, or screaming into it, please put a pop filter between the sound source and the microphone.
Pop filters can reduce or eliminate popping or plosive sounds caused by fast-moving air on the microphone which happens during speech and singing. Also a bonus, a pop filter can protect against the accumulation of spittle or saliva on the mic element. Salt in saliva is both gross and corrosive; therefore, use of a pop filter may help improve the lifespan of your recording microphone.
Microphone Cable
Sometimes the cable you use is an overlooked yet important choice in outfitting your studio toolbox. Make sure to use high quality XLR cables with durable connectors and wire. The cable can be a weak link in your audio route. Getting the right cable doesn't have to be expensive, check out the NM1 series XLR cables from Horizon, or our own Performance Audio professional XLR cables built right here in our custom cable shop.
