Naturally, there is no one-size-fits-all price. The cost depends on the amount of work your book needs. For example, does it require heavy editing? If so the cost will be more than for a book that requires little or none. Editing is a time/labor-intensive process, and may be the biggest component of the total cost.
Here are some guidelines and things to consider.
There is a $100 non-refundable charge for the ISBN number. This must be provided before work commences.
Once a book is published, Arjuna's Arrow will take a 25% cut of all royalties from sales of the book, in perpetuity.
A single book royalty will typically be in the $2.50 to $4.00 range (for a book with a selling price of $10 - $15). You will receive royalty payments of 75% of your book's monthly sales royalties, one month after the month's sales (eg. royalties accrued in October will be paid in December).
(Be advised that distributors other than Amazon, particularly overseas, often pay significantly smaller royalties--typically half of the figures above, which are what one can expect from Amazon U.S., which typically constitute the bulk of all the sales.)
Once a project is submitted and we are able to estimate the amount of work that will be involved, we will send you a contract stating the terms and an estimated cost as well as a timetable of payments. Besides the initial $100 for the ISBN, a small down payment will be required. This might be in the range of (an additional) $100-$200.
If artwork and/or image processing work has to be contracted, you may be charged for those as they occur. Be advised, we are able to get such work done very cheaply using fiverr.com. Typical costs don't exceed $50. However, if your book requires some specialist artwork, such as an original piece of artwork for your book cover, that will be expensive and we suggest that you have that done on your end. In that event, there will be no additional charge from us.
To give a ballpark figure for a typical book, 150-250 pages, standard size (such as 6" x 9" or 8.5" x 11"), with minor editing, with no interior graphics, you can expect to be charged somewhere around $500 (not including the $100 for the ISBN). For such a project, your initial charge might be $250 (including the ISBN $100), and you would be expected to pay the balance of $350 when the first proof is finished.
Typically, a book will require at least two proofs. Each proof will be sent to you for edits and approval. We will work together on incorporating fixes/edits to the proofs. Once we are both satisfied with a proof, the book will be published.
To repeat, editing is the most labor intensive and time consuming of all the tasks, and if a lot of editing is needed, requiring many hours of work, you can expect to be charged accordingly. Extensive editing may add several hundred dollars to the cost. Also note we will not know the extent of the editing needed until we actually have the manuscript. We cannot give a good estimate without seeing the manuscript. This should not concern you. We have no interest whatsoever in pilfering any author's work. Until a contract is agreed upon, you do not need to send us an editable file. A non-editable PDF is fine. Our object is to produce the best finished product possible that will give credit to our imprint as well as be lucrative for both you and Arjuna's Arrow.
Another huge advantage to P-O-D publishing is that once the book is published, it can still be updated if errors are found that weren't caught in the proofs--or for any reason at all, such as you decided that something just has to be change or added. The cover can also be updated after publishing. Obviously, updating after publication is not something we encourage, but it can be done. When an update is in process the book will be unavailable for sale until the update is approved (by us). In such instances, a new proof may be ordered, adding more time to the book's unavailability. If the change is extremely minor, we can skip the proof. An update to an already published book will cost no less than $50. If the changes are extensive, you might want to consider publishing a new edition of the book. A new edition is a new book: new ISBN, etc. Total costs would likely be less than for the first edition, as less work should be required.
Choosing to publish an Kindle ebook version requires little work under normal circumstances. You can expect an additional charge of around $50.

An exhibition devoted to King Faisal bin Abul Aziz entitled "A life at the Heart of the Twentieth Century" will open this month in London, commemorating with it the 100th anniversary of his historic five-month visit to Britain, Ireland and France.
At the time, King Faisal was only a child and his visit marked the very first Saudi royal visit to England.
The exhibition will be held on December 20th in the Nash Room for three weeks, and it is organized by the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies.
King Faisal Foundation and the Kingdom's embassy in the UK are both the official sponsors of the exhibition, while the Family Office Co. and Al-Saad Group for Investment and Development are the strategic ones, and finally Sadco Holding Co. comes as a gold sponsor.
"This exhibition is one of many to be held in Europe to introduce the world to King Faisal, his personality, history and biography as one of the most prominent world leaders," said Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies.
"The event, titled 'A life at the Heart of the Twentieth Century,' will run for three weeks. It will include some of his personal possessions, along with manuscripts, telegrams, letters, paintings, maps, photographs, articles and press coverage that documented this historic visit." He added.
The exhibition will be divided into seven sections, "Najed" will showcase the king's early life, while "India" will tell the story of the visit that constituted his first contact with the outside world.
"London" to document his visit, while "England, Wales and Ireland," traces his subsequent tour of Britain and Ireland.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — A 70-year-old Davenport man has been sentenced to five years' probation and fined $5,000 for buying or trying to buy congressional military decorations and medals without proper authorization.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa says Robert Ellsworth Brooks was sentenced Tuesday after earlier pleading guilty under the Stolen Valor Act.
Brooks served in both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army in the 1960s and at times in the Army Reserves and Navy in the 1970s and 1980s. Prosecutors say Brooks earned a number of medals by 1970, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bronze Star Medal. But prosecutors say he claimed various other medals throughout the years, including Purple Hearts and Silver Stars, which he knew he had not earned and had bought.

When my son was just eight weeks and two days into his gestational period, I settled my anxiety of giving birth to a Black male. The night before I gave birth, unlike his twin sister, he was hovered up into the corner of my womb and his heart rate had begun to slow down. That following morning, he was born. Now 20, my Black son has dreams and aspirations but there is the threat of death in the air.

Why We Need to Act Now to Address the Harmful Effects of Unemployment on Black Millennial Men
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for Black males between ages 20 and 24 is more than double the national average for this age group (14.3% vs. 7.1%). The APA report on "Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic and Sexual Minority Boys & Men" prompted a deeper focus on how these employment disparities lead to adverse health impacts, specifically amongst Black millennial men. An APA fact sheet examines this narrowed topic.
Depression in Black Boys Begins Earlier Than You Think
From 2001 to 2015, the suicide risk for Black boys between the ages of 5 and 11 was two to three times higher than that of White boys, according to a new research letter in JAMA Pediatrics (Bridge, 2018). This concerning trend continues through adolescence as reported by the Nationwide Youth Risk Behavior Survey (Kann et al., 2017). The rates of attempted suicide, including attempts that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or overdose, are 1.2x higher among Black males compared to White males.
How Black Boys Turn Blue: The Effects of Masculine Ideology on Same-Gender Loving Men
They say, "Black boys turn blue in the moonlight". In the Oscar winning movie Moonlight, the story follows character Chiron as he develops into a man. What's interesting about Chiron's story is that it mirrors that of countless other African American men. Chiron is simply not allowed to "be" – he's bullied for being "Little," beaten because of his demeanor, and denied the opportunity to safely and freely explore his sexuality. It is indeed under this distress that Black boys turn blue.

B'nai B'rith Intercommunal Affairs Director Attends Installation Ceremony for Pope Francis
Interviews Available
B'nai B'rith International Director of Intercommunal Affairs David J. Michaels is in Rome to attend the installation of Pope Francis. Michaels will also take part in an audience with the new pope for interreligious leaders.
For interviews from Rome, contact: email@example.com or 202-857-6699.
B'nai B'rith welcomed the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to his new role when he was elected on March 13. Supporting strong Catholic-Jewish relations in Buenos Aires, where the new pope served as cardinal, has been an important hallmark of his tenure as a church leader.
In November, then-Cardinal Bergoglio was the keynote speaker at B'nai B'rith's Kristallnacht commemoration in Buenos Aires, where he helped light a candle in commemoration of the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
Michaels will attend the Papal inauguration on March 19 at St. Peter's Square. On March 20 he will take part in an audience for interfaith leaders at Clementine Hall at the Vatican. Michaels previously met with Pope Benedict XVI on numerous occasions.

This weeks weekly photo challenge from Daily Post is Signs
"For this challenge, share an image of a sign: it can be a sign near your home — a comforting sight after a long journey — a sign that doubles as art, or other types of signs that hold meaning for you."
In New York you can't look down a street without signs of all kinds exploding in your eyes – a fact of life there that I very much enjoy. In this photograph you can see giant imagery of consumer goods and finance organisations. Below these titans of commercial activity, appearing almost shapeless and insignificant are human beings. Which of the two seems more important to you?

I read a few of my original entries, back in October 2007. It felt like I was reading about someone else. It's amazing how you forget things.
First, I was still taking walks for exercise and I was playing with my horse, Stoney. I was complaining about having trouble walking. I complained of pain in every joint. When I read some of those symptoms, I can't even remember how I was feeling. Much of it doesn't even sound familiar? That seems strange.
I was on treatment of Revlimid and Dexamethasone from August 2006 through November 2007. I suspect the pain in my joints might have been from either the Revlimid or the Dex, or possibly both? I thought the problem with my legs was from the Dex (steroid) but now I know it was my spinal cord atrophying.
It was a bit haunting to read those entries. I'm not sure why. But it was back when I still had my horses and my pets and I was living in my home on "the farm." It was 17 acres, but I called it "the farm." Well, actually it was two pieces of land that were attached. My house was on 12.5 acres and then I had a separate 5 acres. My sister has since purchased the 5 acres, as she lives on another 5 acres attached to it. A family rents my home now until they can buy it.
I talked of juicing. It seemed I was a little more into trying to eat and exercise back then. Things have certainly changed. I miss the animals. I miss the walking, yet I recall I was getting dismayed at the trouble I was having walking. It was very unnerving at first. I mean, when you used to walk around without a second thought, then suddenly you're having strange sensations and limps; it's been quite a journey.
I mentioned a friend, Joanne. I met her at a Christian book store. I overheard her talking to an employee of the bookstore about her cancer. My cancer was new enough to me that I walked up to her, feeling like we were in a club, and introduced myself to her, telling her that I had cancer, too! She didn't take offense or think I was strange at all, but looking back, how silly of me. I realize now that while others thought I was taking "having the cancer" so well, I was probably still fighting the fear and looking for some comfort-level yet. Where else but with others who share the same battle? Anyway, we became friends of a sort and exchanged numbers and emails. Joanne had breast cancer and also had tremendous faith in God. She was very much into holistic treatment. She sent emails to family and friends updating on her own journey. She spoke of not only health but spiritual things. Her writings and faith were so amazing! She had a meeting at her house to share her experiences and knowledge of health issues. She showed us how she grew her own wheat grass. She juiced it and we all had a sip. I loved it. I thought it tasted delicioius. She gave us all literature and information on books and organizations on various health and/or cancer topics.
I don't recall exactly Joanne's experience, only that she tried to go as natural as she could. I believe she did have a tumor surgically removed but instead of doing chemo right after, she tried to do things "naturally." It got worse and she then went one of those "Cancer Centers of America" places. I think that's the name and I think she went to the one in Arkansas or Oklahoma. I forget which state it's in..but these are the places advertised where they say they never give up hope on patients plus they treat everything. For example, if you are a Christian, they will include prayer as well as traditional treatment. She was very impressed with them. In summary, Joanne combined traditional with lots of alternative. I think she errored in one way and her husband sort of hinted at it later. She was doing some Chinese herbs and something happened…she ended up dying. Something that the herbs did that her liver ws trying to detox…I don't recall…but she might have been going to pass anyway and this herb-thing just made it a little more complicated. I don't really know. Joanne did write a really neat email to the email chain that she hoped she had not led any of us astray. Joanne said that one thing she did learn is that sometimes, no matter what you do, you may not be able to change your outcome. She said it much more eloquently. But she said some people can do all the natural things and still die and someone can handle their cancer with all the traditional treatments and be healed.
There's no clear answer to what treatment course we should take. I guess we just make the best choice we can with what information we have and with what route we think we can handle. That's the best any of us can do. The important thing, I think, is to just do your best and don't second guess. Always look forward because looking back is surely a waste of time. Believe me, because I find myself looking back too much. I'm getting better at NOT doing it.
Actually, now that I've read a few entries, I'm realizing that I really have been through a variety of "hells" since then! Wow. I'm not trying to toot any horns here, but I am a little more proud of myself. I have been really feeling like a big old baby and complainer. Now I can cut myself a little more slack. I remember where I've come from. Maybe I was trudging forward so hard back then that I didn't get to appreciate the uphill battle I've had. There's the cancer, there's getting to and from the appointments alone, there's financial and insurance stuff, there's personal issues and fallout with family at times, there's losses and giving up things that meant much to me, there's just been a bunch of stuff. I'm at a better place in many ways now than I was back then. Of course, the "unknown" is always the hardest and many things were not known back then. Heck, that's when I had the Hitler-like female doctor! Ha! Oh my, those were the 'bad ole days.'

Sony Announces QX Series Lens Cameras That Attach to Smartphones
Sony announced its new QX series of lens cameras that can attach to smartphones today at IFA 2013. The previously rumored QX100 and QX10 lenses contain all of the hardware ordinarily found in a point-and-shoot camera except for a viewfinder, and use Wi-Fi to connect to a smartphone to fulfill that requirement. The lenses can be physically detached from the phone while still connected via Wi-Fi, allowing users to shoot independent of the viewfinder. For more specs on the higher-end QX100 and the Q10 zoom lens camera, take a look at the product pages on Sony's website. Both the QX100 and QX10 lenses are already available to pre-order from Amazon, and will ship on September 27th according to the retailer.

AeroVelo's human-powered helicopter|
The American Helicopter Society has officially declared AeroVelo winner of the Igor I. Sikorsky Human Powered Helicopter Competition. The AHS Sikorsky competition began in 1980, and the prize was destined for anyone able to stay at least 10 feet in the air for at least 60 seconds within a 30′ x 30′ space using a flying machine powered solely by a single human. No team has ever managed to meet all of the requirements — until now. AeroVelo Atlas Human-Powered Helicopter captured the long standing AHS Sikorsky Prize with a flight lasting 64.1 seconds and reaching an altitude of 3.3 metres.
Canadian Todd Reichert and his team have just been awarded $250,000 and the honor of building something that really worked. Reichert said:
"This isn't something that you're going to commute to work in any time soon, but it's an exercise in really pushing the limits on what's physically possible, and what you can do with lightweight materials and really creative design. Winning this competition really is a catalyst to keep doing the things we love. Our goal is to take on projects that really inspire people to follow big dreams."

Demonstration of the Powered Jacket MK3 Electromechanical Exoskeleton
In this bizarre video, a Japanese schoolgirl demonstrates an electromechanical exoskeleton as a hideously disfigured host, "Scarface Santaro," explains the many features of device, the Powered Jacket MK3. According to the manufacturer Sagawa Electronics, the aluminum and carbon fiber exoskeleton is over 7 feet tall, weighs 55 pounds and will be produced in a limited run of five examples. The company has also released a manga series about the Powered Jacket. Given the satirical nature of the video, and the lack of information on the Powered Jacket MK3, it's unclear if the product is actually destined for production. That being said, Sagawa Electronics claims the exoskeleton will be publicly demonstrated at Wonder Festival 2013 in Chiba City, Japan at the end of July.

AMMO, Photos Reveal the Design of Ammunition in Cross-Sections
"AMMO" is a photo series of some 900 pieces of ammunition that have been neatly cut in half to reveal their surprisingly varied and intricate contents. Photographer Sabine Pearlman shot the series last year in a WWII-era bunker in Switzerland.
I was originally intrigued by the ambiguous nature of the subject matter. The cross-sections reveal a hidden complexity and beauty of form, which stands in vast contrast to the destructive purpose of the object. It is a representation of the evil and the beautiful, a reflection of the human condition.

Sony Unveils PlayStation 4 Video Game Console Design, Pricing, & Release Date at E3 2013
Sony has finally unveiled the PlayStation 4 video game console's design at E3 2013 after facing criticism for not showing a physical console at the initial announcement in February. The new console is all black, looks somewhat like a slanted PlayStation 2, and shares a partially shiny, partially matte design with Microsoft's Xbox One.
Sony also took aim at Microsoft's online requirements and used game policies for the Xbox One, promising the PlayStation 4 won't impose restrictions on lending or reselling game discs and users will not have to be connected to the internet to play single-player games offline.
Turning to games, Sony announced a number of new PlayStation 4 exclusive titles like The Order: 1886 developed by Ready at Dawn, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV — formerly known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII — and Kingdom Hearts 3. The company also provided brief updates on previously announced PlayStation 4 launch titles Killzone: Shadow Fall, Evolution Studios' DriveClub, and Knack. Infamous: Second Son will be released for the new console in Q1 2014, as well as Blizzard's Diablo III, and Square Enix MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be released exclusively on the PS3 and PS4. Upcoming Bethesda MMO The Elder Scrolls Online will also be available on the PS4 in Spring 2014.
Sony also showed off a number of indie games that will be console exclusive to the PlayStation 4 — though several have already been released for the PC. Transistor from Bastion developer Supergiant Games, Don't Starve by Klei, and Mercenary Kings by Tribute Games — the developers behind Scott Pilgrim — will all be coming to Sony's new console alongside Young Horses' Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Secret Ponchos by Switchblade Monkeys, Ragtag's stealth-action puzzler Ray's the Dead, and Outlast by Red Barrel. Oddworld Inhabitant will also launch a remake of the original Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee titled Oddworld New N Tasty, and 7 bit Games, creators of Skulls of the Shogun, will release a side-scrolling world space shooter titled Galak-Z The Dimensional.
Developers also demoed previously announced titles Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and Watch Dogs, and Quantic Dream showed off a small clip of another impressive tech demo titled The Dark Sorcerer. Sony also briefly touched on upcoming entertainment offerings like Redbox and Flixster, which will join existing offerings like Sony Video Unlimited, Music Unlimited, Netflix, and more.
The PlayStation 4 will cost $399 — $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One — and will be available "this holiday season." Sony's website has a current list of PlayStation 4 games, and for more coverage of Sony's E3 announcements, head over to Kotaku.
Visualization of the Screens of Every iPhone Ever Sold Combined into Monolith Looming over Manhattan
Josh Orter of Stupid Calculations has worked out exactly how large the combined screens of every iPhone ever purchased would be. Extrapolating from Apple sales data that reports 352,292,000 sold iPhones since the product's launch in 2007, Orter calculated that the "Kubrick-inspired monophone" would measure a staggering 5,059 feet tall and 2,846 feet across. To give you a sense of scale, Orter created an infographic placing the monophone in the middle of New York City — the massive monolith is wider than Central Park and far outstrips any skyscraper in the city. More detailed information on Orter's calculations can be found at the Stupid Calculations website.
Artist Creates Paintings out of Videos Stills from CCTV Cameras
Artist William Betts creates paintings out of video stills from closed-circuit cameras. To make the paintings, Betts processes the still images with custom software, sending the data to a CNC machine that paints the images with tiny dots of paint.

Eidos, Two Headsets That Grant Enhanced Sight and Hearing
Eidos – Sensory augmentation equipment (full version) from TJB on Vimeo.
Students Tim Bouckley, Millie Clive-Smith, Mi Eun Kim and Yuta Sugawara at the Royal College of Art in London have created Eidos, a system of sensory augmentation equipment that allows users to enhance their senses of sight and sound. The Eidos headset records video, transfers the images to a computer where they're processed, and sends them back to the viewer. The result is an effect similar to long-exposure photography, which ideally allows the viewer to more easily identify patterns of movement. The other Eidos headset enhances hearing by neutralizing background noise and allowing the listener to focus in on one particular source of sound. It uses a directional microphone to capture audio, which is processed by a computer and sent back to the listener via three speakers — one headphone for each ear and a bone conduction speaker at the mouth. The group of students predict that Eidos could have uses in sports analysis, performance art, and heathcare.
Virtuix's 360-degree treadmill

Virtuix is aiming to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the Omni around the end of May or the beginning of June, and it's targeting a price of $400-600 for the device. Watch the videos after more, it looks cool!

text: In August 2013, I took a road trip up to the Isle of Mull to cover Russell and Laura's big day. Starting off at the beach and then on to a reception at Am Birlinn, we managed to get a relatively rain-free day (other than when leaving the beach and the groom's car getting stuck in the mud!). Luckily, there was umbrella's for everyone and the weather didn't dampen any spirits for the great party that was to be had well into the wee hours of the morning. There was such a great atmosphere throughout the day, and friends and family had got together to make sure everything was customised to give the whole wedding a really personal feel. A lot of friends had travelled up from London as well, so obviously there was the obligatory ceilidh session in the evening too.

Many parents love to co-sleep with their babies, but the time always comes when the baby needs to be transitioned into a separate room, away from their parents. However, babies often find the process of transitioning from the parents' bed to the cot a rather difficult experience. As a result, they can't sleep in the cot as quickly and as easily as the parents would wish. As a parent, you'll understand that it's not easy for them to move from your bed with the comfort that you're next to them and be able to sleep in the cot right away. Hence, you need to take the right approach that won't be too stressful for your baby. The following tips can work for you in a great way.

Teenagers and Sleep: Why Teens Need Their Sleep
Sleep is a very important part of everyone's life. To every human being, sleep is the vital time for the brain to rest and for your body to heal. Therefore, sleep has everything to do with the well-being of every person. Without sleeping well, your quality of life will be substantially lowered to the extent that you won't be able to operate to the expected standards of living. Teenagers, generally have a slightly different sleeping pattern from adults. However, sleep is vital for their growth. The golden rule is that every teenager needs to sleep for around 8 to 10 hours every single day. Anything less than this duration leads to problems in the overall life of a teenager. Here are the main reasons why teens need their sleep so much: Continue reading Teenagers and Sleep: Why Teens Need Their Sleep

Tips for Keeping Your Mattress Clean and Germ-Free
Cleaning your bed keeps it free from stains, odours, moulds, and dust mites, including disease-causing bacteria and viruses. You just need two things in dealing with them: vinegar and baking soda.
How to Clean a Mattress with Baking Soda and Vinegar
- Strip off the bedding and cushion covers and wash them carefully using hot water to kill dust mites. While soaking them in warm water, add ½ to 1 cup of vinegar to soften the sheets and remove bad odours.
- Baking soda is a powerful deodorizing agent for your bed. Sprinkling baking soda over your bed and leaving it on for more than 30 minutes will remove bad odours. After that, use the upholstery attachment available on your vacuum to remove the sprinkled baking soda.
How to Clean a Mattress Stain
When removing stains, always use a small amount of liquid cleaning solution to keep your bed's interior padding dry. Excessive moisture may damage the timber inside the bed and cause mildew and mould growth. Likewise, you should clean the stain as fast as you can. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the excess liquids. Blot the stains and apply pressure to remove them completely.
Upholstery cleaners are suitable for most stains. Check the label and follow the given instructions carefully. Again, make sure you use the solution at the smallest amount possible to avoid oversaturating your bed.
You can also use natural cleaning agents in removing tough stains. Spray the vinegar all over and sprinkle the baking soda afterwards. Let the mixture bubble and cover the bed with a towel for one to two hours. Use the vacuum nozzle to remove the excess baking soda.
How to Treat Bloodstains
You can use 3% hydrogen peroxide for bloodstains but check first your bedding for colourfastness. Hydrogen peroxide can act as a bleaching solution which may harm fabrics. You can either spray it when treating a bigger area or apply it on cotton buds for smaller spots to clean.
Blot the stains with a white cloth. Allow the solution to sit for another five to 10 minutes before rinsing with cold water. Blot the treated part to dry, and repeat the procedure if necessary.
How to Remove Urine Stains and Odorus
For urine, you can blot the excess liquid with a towel. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda, a tablespoon of dishwashing soap, and a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide. You can spray the mixture or use a cloth dipped in this solution to treat tough stains like urine. Leave it there for 24 hours and wipe or vacuum the excess baking soda. Repeat the procedure for the lingering odours. You can also blot the spot with fabric moistened with vinegar.
A plastic bed bag can help in treating odours on your bed. Sprinkle baking soda all over, put the cushion in the plastic bag, and keep it sealed for one to two days. On the third day, take the cushion out of the bag and vacuum it.
Baking soda and vinegar are two affordable home remedies that can effectively remove tough stains and unpleasant odours on your mattress. Follow the steps given above and be amazed at the results.
When to move your young one from cot to bed
Moving from a baby cot to the bed is a huge transition for all children. It makes them feel that they've grown and now ready to sleep in a bed just like the older folks do!
The big question is when to make this transition for your child.
There's no specific right age or time for this to be done, taking into consideration that each child is unique. But a toddler will commonly make the transition from cot to bed between around 18 months and three years old.
Since every child is unique, however, this can make it inappropriate to take a universal age at which you transition your children from the baby cot to bed. However, there are certain guidelines that can help inform your decision.
How to know it's the right time
Setting some age or time to move your child from his/ her baby cot is not the right way to go if you want them to be happy. The following signs can really be helpful in making the decision to move them to the bed:
1. The child has outgrown the cot
When you notice that your child has clearly outgrown the cot, it would be the right time to make the move. One of the things to look for when you want to make this decision is when he's not able to lie in the cot straight. Also, if he hits himself on the sides of the cot often when he moves, it's a sign that his size is now bigger and needs to be moved to the bed.
2. He's able to climb out of the cot
Babies are quite explorative. They will always attempt to climb out of the cot and give everything they've got to manage.
Your toddler's main aim here is to see if they can get out and play while everyone else is asleep! However, this is quite a task for them and they won't be successful until they get to be able to coordinate their moves and have enough effort. This will only be possible when they attain the age of one year. So, if you realize they are able to do this, consider the transition.
3. When there's another baby who needs the cot
Moving a baby from the cot to the bed may be necessitated if the former is required for use by another baby. Moving the older lad to the bed will create room for you to be able to use the baby cot for the younger family member. However, in such a case, the older baby must be given a smooth transition. Ensure that they are comfortable with their new place of sleeping. This should not be less than two weeks before the new baby is brought.
Preparation for the Move
To successfully move the baby, you should ensure the process is as easy as possible for the baby and yourself. They most likely won't be able to quickly adjust to the environmental changes involved and it can be difficult and confusing for them. To get them excited about the move, the following tricks can help:
• Talk to them about it and promise them how exciting it's going to be sleeping in a bigger bed.
• Give them a choice by taking them to shop for their preferred bed in case they resist the idea of moving.
• Place the new bed in the same room with the baby cot if the baby wouldn't like to change the environment.
• If you're moving the toddler as a result of another baby, do it in a way that they won't think of the new baby as one who has come to take their place.
• Make the new bed as close in structure to the cot as possible by using the same things such as sheet colours and pillows.
Hanging Storage Solutions for Clothes
Due to lack of closets in some small or old apartments, there's always a huge problem when looking for ways to stores clothes. If you find yourself in such a situation, you have to think creatively about alternative ways of coming up with a hanging storage for your clothes or those of other family members. However, don't be tempted to only think about the storage problem but also about the décor of your space. You don't want to come up with storage solutions that will work against the organization and appearance of your rooms. To help you in the journey, here are some creative hanging storage solutions for clothes that you can consider.
1. Look for a detached wardrobe rack
For those of us who love the traditional closets in storing clothes by hanging, there's the option of mimicking the closets; the clothes rack. These racks are available for purchase at considerably cheap prices. When you opt for the detached clothes rack, take care of the size, whether it's small or large. If it's small, strategically think about how you'll get the most space out of it when you fill it with clothes.
2. Hang the accessories
Most people often forget about accessories which include jewellery and scarves likely because they are not always stored in plain sight. It's easy to tuck them away into places that you won't be able to reach them easily the next time you'd like to use them. For these items, why not use command hooks, thin nails or wall organizers to hang them? Alternatively, you can have the scarves and tights tied in knots around the hangers and then placed on the display. These hangers will also fit perfectly well on the detached wardrobe rack.
3. Install a picture ledge
Without a lot of floor storage space, the picture ledge can come in handy when you want to open up opportunities for the storage of your clothes. On an open wall, install one and on its underside attach a clothes rail. In this way, you'll then be able to hang hooks for bags, jackets and clothes. Cup hooks may also be screwed in at the bottom for hanging lighter items such as necklaces and tank tops. For holding handbags, sunglasses and shoes, you can use the top of the ledge.
4. Hang a clothes rod from the ceiling
In thinking "upwards", you can come up with your makeshift closet by hanging a clothes rod from the ceiling. On the ceiling, strong hooks are installed. A rope is then attached to dangle below both of them. You should tie the rope tightly along a rod to provide a space for hanging items that are prone to wrinkling. With a tall enough space and strong ropes, another rod can be added below the first one to get a double hanging space.
5. Try DIY Tiered Hangers
To maximize the use of your space, you can use a lightweight piece of chain for staggering hanging clothes in tall closets. To do this, loop the first chain link over the first hanger. The subsequent hangers are then made to hang on the subsequent hangers all the way on the subsequent links.
With these 5 solutions, you can effectively and efficiently make use of that small space and find great hanging storages for your clothes.
If you still require more storage solutions but cannot spare much more space in the house then we would advise that you use stacking euro containers. This storage option delivers protection and a viable place to store your unused pieces of clothing.

We are Bed Hire and we are the nation's bed and sleep experts, hiring beds out to companies, organisations and homes across the UK. We're here to help you get a good night's kip and one of the key moments that people struggle with this is the moment between when your head hits the pillow and your finally doze off.
You may be surprised to know that there are a number of things that can help you (or prevent you) from getting to sleep, and below we've listed some tips that tap into these factors:
Continue reading Trouble Falling Asleep? 7 Tips to Help You Nod Off
How to Choose a Pillow for Neck Pain
Sleeping should be relaxing and comfortable on most occasions. This should serve as our foundation on how we face our daily challenges. But isn't it annoying waking up with a terrible neck sprain or a nerve wrecking backache? These can be prevented by choosing the correct pillow for your waking up problems. Say no more to waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Pillow Firmness
Choosing the firmness of our pillow where we rest our head when we sleep is important. Our neck should lay aligned with our spine thus not having too sunken bending our necks too far from our shoulders or skewed from the mattress thus there should be no gap from our pillow.
Firmness may not be the same for everybody's comfort this is why we need to know the correct pillow that is most comfortable.
Pillow Filling
Same with the firmness of our pillow, the filling of our pillows provides different levels of comfort. Each type has its own pros and cons. Unfortunately, the key to knowing which one provides you best comfort is to try them for your own experience.
Know your type and it is always helpful to research about different types of filling.
Pillow for your sleeping position
Sleeping positions vary from person to person. There are those who are comfortable in sleeping on their back, on their side or even on their stomach.
Depending on your usual position when sleeping, there are pillows that fits you to support your shoulders, neck and head. Always remember that the alignment of these three should always be taken in to consideration thus the height of your pillow should make an impact on whether you are sleeping flat, on your sides or on your stomach.
The alignment of our spine, to our shoulders, to our head has been straight for a reason. Thus good posture even when lying down when we sleep helps a lot in preventing those undesired aches in the morning.
Pillows for sleeping issues
Woken up by your own snoring while you were asleep? Pillows also has a role in helping you with this problem. It may be too high or too low that it restricts your airways because it doesn't provide you the proper alignment of your neck.
Change your pillows when it's due
Pillows wear off. After sleeping on them for countless nights, the material of the pillow gets worn and soaked with sweat, and lets not be shy about it – saliva. It also gets infested with microorganisms that often causes allergies. It is advisable to change your pillows when its due depending on its' type.
Sleep should be a privilege. Not an agony. Being able to sleep with a pillow fit for you is the first step to a glorious nights sleep.

Inside the Americas – Bolivia's Lake Poopo Transformed into Desert
Bolivia's once mighty saltwater Lake Poopo has been transformed into a dusty, dry desert. At an altitude of nearly 3,700 meters, it was formerly Bolivia's second largest lake after Titicaca. Fishermen who depended on the lake to make a living are out of work, and 200 species of birds, mammals, fish and reptiles have been wiped out. Various factors leading to its disappearance have been cited, but most scientists focus on climate change along with the "El Niño" phenomenon. This isn't the first time Lake Poopo has vanished, but some fear it may be the last. teleSUR

Prevalence of Fractures in Upper Front Incisors and its Relationship with Overjet in Costa Rica
Artículo científico
Ulate Jiménez, Joseph
de la Cruz Rojas, Ronald
MetadataShow full item record
At the present time, in Costa Rica did not exist a national research on dental trauma, an issue that has become a worldwide public health problem. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries of permanent maxillary incisors. Thus, 1 626 Costa Rican school students of 12 years old were evaluated. The national prevalence of children with at least one fracture was 20.17 %, males showed a higher prevalence than women (p < 0.05). Moreover, it was observed that the group of students with more than 6 mm of overjet had a higher prevalence of fractures (p < 0.05).

If you haven't figured the title out. This is a list of 10 things that piss me off. Sounds simple right? Good, here we go:
1) The joys of social networking websites!
Now listen closely 'FRIENDS'…. I don't want to know if you updated your status message to 'I got a circumcision done' or if you've uploaded a new batch of pictures of your girlfriend with whom who you got back together a week ago, after breaking up the week before that. I don't give a damn if you made a new video of you singing James Blunt's new song in a fake falsetto voice which is screechier than a cat in mating season.
And for God's sake Facebook! Stop telling me that someone clicked 'Yes' on a friend of mine on 'Are you interested?' and that I don't have any 'Yes's yet!
Thank you!
2) Crappy Bollywood Movies.
I would like to take the time out to address some of our bollywood-wallahs here
a) Dear John Abraham,
To say that Goal was the most pathetic excuse in the name of cinema that I have witnessed in recent times, would be a pathetic excuse in the name of an understatement. The words 'Awesomely Bad' scarcely suffice. Just return my 70 bucks and no one gets hurt….capiche?
b)To Kareena Kapoor,
Your eyes… so wide,
Your skin… so white,
Your hair…so frizzy,
I'm going dizzy.
Don't make more movies,
Kindly Spare me,
'Khushi' was bad,
But 'Jab We Met',Scares me!
c) To Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali,
Saawariya is like painting a white wall black and blue and watching it dry oh-so-slowly while Ranbir Kapoor prances around half naked in front of it every seven minutes or so.
d) Dus Kahaniyan
The thought of watching ten bad movies in one movie scares me almost as much as watching Kareena jig to 'Yeh Mera Dil'
3) Reality TV
The day someone starts an SMS campaign to get these shows off TV forever and ever I will vote till my thumbs fall off.
P.S. Shekhar Suman…..you can't sing and please button up. No one wants to see your 'buff physique'…trust me no one does!
4) People with Loud music phones
The sheer stupidity of such people never fails to amaze me. If they can spend a small fortune buying the shiniest,loudest phone around, why in God's name can't they use the FREE (notice the word 'FREE') earphones they get with the damn phones?
5) Politically Correctness.
One of the worst things to happen to mankind….I mean humankind…since the giant asteroid killed the Flintstones in about 1000 BC…..I mean B.C.E.
P.S. If you send me orkut messages and e-cards that say 'Compliments of the Season'….I swear I will send you close-up shots of Himesh rubbing his waxed chest in 'Aapka Surroor'
6) CallerTunes.
For the last time I don't want the ten-minute theme song of Dus Kahaniyan to be played to everyone who calls me. I still have a handful of people who love me and I don't want to drive them away. I have better things to do with my phone credit, like saving it up for the day someone launches an SMS campaign to bump 'Talent Shows' from television, remember?
7) Forwarded emails.
If I haven't said this enough already…..I have absolutely no concern for the rare endangered fluorescent chickens in Mozambique, nor any time to waste on some late millionaire's daughter in Nigeria who wants my bank details so she can transfer half the cash she inherited to me. I don't care if Jane the 'CEO of Yahoo' or 'Dianna the big Kahuna of Orkut' will close my account if I don't forward her email/scrap to every person I have known since kindergarten.
I won't believe in these things till an email that threatens to kill my friends if not forwarded gives them a nagging cold at least.
8 ) Pop Comebacks.
Rejoice….Britney Spears is back, so are the Spice Girls and not to mention the Backstreet Boys as well (who suddenly proclaim that they were 'Never Gone'). Time has certainly not made any of these artists any better, if anything their, 'struggling to go Gold' albums are much worse than their multi-platinum disasters from the past. Before Cher decides to get her 37th face lift and relaunch her career, I would like to remind her and all her friends from the era of Jurassic Pop that they've overshot their 15 minutes of fame by a good decade.
9) Cricket OVERDOSE.
Now I have no issues with the game. But come on, we have channels dedicated JUST to cricket, at least 3 test series going on at the same time, plus the ICL and soon the IPL and the day is not too far when we have the international gully cricket league. Can't we have more airtime for Women's Beach Volleyball….now THAT is a wholesome sport! If you are not big on volleyball, let's get the girls to play cricket, in their Volleyball outfits. Then we can have 10 day test matches and no man will ever move from the ground!
10) End of season sales.
My female friends think it's the greatest idea since sliced bread, but to me it's like buying firecrackers for Holi. Would anyone from the opposite sex explain what exactly is so appealing about these sales?
Is it the 10% discount your 2000/- bucks bill? Is it the serpentine queues outside the changing rooms and the cash counters,?or Does the idea of elbowing fellow women to get first picks from the lingerie tub get your adrenaline pumping?

Technology Succeeds With Community
I love this time of year. Sure, it can be filled with a lot of hustle and bustle, but it's also a time where we reflect on what's most important and spend time with those we care about. That's why I wanted to share a cute video of the students from Alain Locke Charter School. They recently came to visit SWC Technology Partners this holiday season to sing carols and tour our office.
At SWC, we value community outreach, and that doesn't just mean writing a check to some non-profit that we have no relationship with. Through SWC, our employees have built a strong kinship with the faculty, staff and students of Alain Locke Charter School, and throughout the year we participate in various functions with them, including Reading Angels and the Robotics Club. Alain Locke is making some great strides in closing the achievement gap to help students not only compete nationally, but globally and it's incredible to be involved in their mission.
As the weather began to change, we learned about a need from our friends at Alain Locke. Many of the students were lacking proper outdoor attire for the impending winter. Can you imagine not having a warm coat in the midst of our treacherous Chicago winter? It's one of the countless things I know I take for granted. So, as an organization, we decided to host a coat drive. Our employees pulled their resources and we were able to purchase a coat for every child that needed one. It was so exciting to see everyone pitch in and when we had collected all the coats, I was honored to be a part of the distribution. It's a perfect reminder that technology succeeds with community.
As we near the end of the year, I'd like to wish you and yours a warm and safe holiday season. To learn more about SWC's community service initiatives, please visit: www.swc.com/community-outreach.
