This Is the Age Your Baby Needs to Move Out of Your Bedroom

Sleep and babies have gotten scientists and common folk into heated discussions on safety and quality. But it's the kind of debate you welcome; after all, we're talking about precious cargo here. So what is the latest news on sleep? It's about when you need to move your baby into his own room.
In a new study published in the journal Pediatrics, which takes a closer look at sleeping arrangements of young children, it turns out that many babies get more zzz's if they sleep in their room.
The researchers analyzed 249 pairs of moms and their firstborns. Nurses checked up on them when their babies were 1, 4, 6 and 9 months old. The mothers also answered detailed questions about their babies' sleep habits: where they slept, how often they woke up at night, and their longest stretch of slumber.
From Newborn to Preschooler, 6 Expert Strategies for Sleep Success
The results showed that 9-month-old babies who slept in their rooms before they turned 4 months old got an average of 40 minutes of extra sleep, compared to babies of the same age who were still sleeping in their parents' room. Babies who got their rooms after they turned 4 months old slept 26 minutes longer. The findings also showed long-term effects: toddlers who still sleep with their parents for almost a year slept less compared to tots who moved to their own rooms earlier.
"Inadequate infant sleep can lead to obesity, poor sleep later in life, and can negatively affect parents," lead researcher Dr. Ian Paul, professor of pediatrics and public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine, tells PopSugar.
"When the baby doesn't sleep well, and the parent doesn't sleep well, it's not good for baby and not good for the family," he told Time.
Results of the study also showed that room sharing with the baby almost always led to bed sharing during transitions in the middle-of-the-night wakings.
Check Here if You're Following Safe Sleep Practices for Your Baby
Dr. Paul advice: parents should move their child to his or her room by the time he turns 6 months old at least. In recently revised sleep guidelines, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), however, recommended that babies sleep in the same room as their parents -- but not on the same bed -- at least for six months to a year.
In an editorial, Dr. Rachel Moon and Dr. Fern Hauck from the Department of Pediatrics and Family Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine stand by the new AAP sleep arrangement recommendations for safety reasons. It also helps a mom who is nursing on demand throughout the night; she can better monitor her baby and notice if his breathing changes.
According to Moon and Fern, the AAP's "primary objective of safe sleep recommendations will always be to minimize the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths." If the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) diminishes around the baby's fourth month and long-term sleep best practices are factored in, then the guidelines could be up for revisions soon, after more research has been done.
Sleep Expert Discusses Co-Sleeping, Night Terrors, and Teeth Grinding
At the end of the day, it's the parents' decision. The Filipino culture, which leans more towards attachment parenting, has largely ignored western sleep practices. We like keeping our babies close to us, watching them (with awe) as they sleep.
Whatever you decide, keep in mind that parents who know about SIDS sometimes still put babies to sleep in sleep in unsafe ways or hazardous environments, according to Dr. Paul. In his study last year also published in the journal Pediatrics, he recorded videos of parents putting their babies to bed one night each at 1, 3 and 6 months old. The most common risk that the videos showed was babies put in cribs with loose bedding, pillows, stuffed animals and other items that increase the danger. The videos also showed infants sleeping on their stomachs or sides, and in risky places like sofas and beside parents in bed.
Make it a point it a point to lay your baby down to sleep on his back, as advised by pediatricians and the most recent safe sleep recommendations from the AAP. Sleeping in any other position -- on his side or tummy -- increases the risk of (SIDS) and suffocation, and according to research from the group, swaddling ups these chances even more.

We are here to support and assist you in your endeavours towards achieving your dreams.
Amidst the monotony of the monochrome office existence, among the heaps of files, deadlines and work, stress and worry tend to overtake almost everyone's mind.
In such an environment, one cannot deny the impact and joy some colors could bring.
Nature, in that sense, holds a supernatural capability to inject hues into the colorless canvas describing a typical workplace scenario.
Acknowledging the need for people to park their worries from time to time in order to function more productively, we at Eccosphere bring to life, the concept of an indoor office park.
The pivotal idea behind this is to purify one's mind along with the atmospheric air at the workplace. In addition to aesthetic beauty, the soothing power of greenery abets reduction of stress and thus multiplies productivity. By absorbing sound, the green plants also contribute positively to one's concentration and helps produce better quality work. Statistics from a survey published in the Human Spaces Report suggest that employees whose offices included natural elements scored 15% higher for creativity.
Understanding the multitude of advantages, we at Eccosphere strive to bring you the best. Come, be your best, in a co-working sanctuary amidst nature's nest.

A new JPQL keyword has been added to JPQL to support native database functions (bug 300512).
EclipseLink's ExpressionOperator.ifNull will generate "NVL". How can this be used in JPQL and Criteria defined queries?
Typically batch reading uses a join of the batch query to the source query.
If a m-1 or m-m, join causes duplicate rows to be selected, (a distinct is used to filter rows for m-1, but duplicates are returned for m-m as join table info is needed).
DISTINCT does not work with LOBs.
DISTINCT may be less efficient on some databases than alternatives.
Does not work well with cursors.
Needs verification if works with pagination.
Two new configuration options are introduced in EclipseLink 2.1. One such option is to use an EXISTS with a sub-select instead of a JOIN. This should not result in duplicate rows, so avoid issues with DISTINCT.
Another option is to load the target objects using a IN clause containing the source query object's primary keys. This would also work with cursors, but as the limitation of requiring custom SQL support for composite primary keys, and produces a large dynamic SQL query.
A new BatchFetchType enum will be define and the usesBatchReading flag will enhance to setBatchFetch allowing for JOIN, EXISTS or IN. This option will also be added to ObjectLevelReadQuery, rolling up the current 4 batch reading properties into a new BatchFetchPolicy, also moving them up from ReadAllQuery to allow ReadObjectQuery to also specify nested batched attributes. A new BatchFetch annotation and query hint will be added.
The EXISTS option will operate very similar to the existing JOIN batching, just putting the same join condition inside a sub-select. Although it should have be straight forward, I hit several issues with our current sub-selects support that I had to debug and fix. This also lead to discovering some issues with our JPQL support, that also needed to be fixed. EXISTS supports all of the mappings the same as JOIN, but does not require a distinct. m-1 will not use a DISTINCT by default for EXISTS (even though it would avoid duplicates, as the reason for using the EXISTS is normally to avoid the distinct), but the distinct can be enabled on the originating query if desired. EXISTS will still select duplicates for m-m, and not work well with cursors.
The IN option will query a batch of the target objects using an SQL IN clause containing the key values. For a 1-1 the foreign keys from the source rows will be extracted, if these are the primary keys of the target, they will first be filtered by checking the cache for each object. The remaining keys will be split into batches of a query configurable size, defaulting to 256. For composite keys the multi array SQL syntax for ((key1, key2), (...)) IN ((:key1, :key2), (...)) will be used. Only some databases support this syntax, so composite primary keys will only be supported on some databases. For 1-m or m-m the source rows do not contain the primary keys of the target objects. The IN will still be supported, but will be based on join the source query as in JOIN (or maybe EXISTS?) for the set of keys. For cursors the IN size will default to the cursor pageSize, and each cursor page will be processed separately.
JPA/ORM developers will use this query feature to query across attributes in subclasses. This feature is available in JPQL, EclipseLink Expressions and Criteria API.
These examples show on how to use EclipseLink to define queries on inheritance hierarchies with down casting to specific classes (bug 259266).
Extensions to the expression framework to limit the results to those of a specific subclass have already been implemented as part of the JPA 2.0 effort. Expression.type(Class) is available in the expression framework and equivalent functionality is available in JPQL.
e.g. "select p from Employee e join e.projects p where type(p) = LargeProject" can be used to retrieve all the LargeProjects (Subclass of Project) from Employee.
JPA Criteria API already provides a casting operator. It is Expression.as(type).
As it is defined by JPA 2.0, Expression.as(type) does a simple cast that allows matching of types within the generics.
Calling a cast on a JOIN node will permanently alter that node. i.e. In the example above, after calling join.as(LargeProject.class), join will refer to a LargeProject.
In this query Employee has a xToMany mapping to Project. LargeProject is a subclass of Project and the "budget" attribute is contained on LargeProject.
An exception will be thrown at query execution time if the class that is cast to is not a subclass of the class of the query key being cast.
Casts modify their parent expression. As a result, when using a cast with a parallel expression, you must use a new instance of the parent expression.
It is prudent to do a check for type in a query that does a cast.
The following select f from Foo f join cast(f.bars, BarSubclass) b where b.subclassAttribute = "value"
Should be written as: select f from Foo f join cast(f.bars, BarSubclass) b where type(b) = BarSubclass And b.subclassAttribute = "value" by users that wish to enforce the type.
The changes as listed above in bold.
As of EclipseLink 2.1 it is now possible to reference manually defined query keys within your JPA queries. Prior to this release these query keys could only referenced in native queries using expressions.
By default EclipseLink creates query keys for all of your mapped attributes but in some scenarios users find it beneficial to add their own.
Then the query key can be references in the query in the same way any mapped attribute is.

Abstract The present study offers an analysis of the concept of non-national identity in application to the Republic of Kazakhstan as the most likely case. The primary hypothesis is that newly independent states, which are undergoing a rapid transition to market economy and actively pursue integration in the world economy and foreign direct investment, will experience fragmentation of their national identity, defined as non-national identity.; Three sites in Kazakhstan, Almaty, Astana and Aktau, were chosen for the study as representative of the market reforms in the republic as well as the best examples of the country's pursuit of foreign direct investment and integration into the global economy. The data collected indicates that while Kazakhstan does demonstrate fragmentation of its national identity, it is not necessarily caused by the market reforms and the participation in the global trade. Alternative causal variables such as the Soviet and Russian colonial legacy, intra-ethnic cleavages among the Kazakhs and the prevalence of multi-vector foreign policy were found to contribute to the development of non-national identity of Kazakhstan. The study's results also suggest that in the last few years, Kazakh identity is experiencing a rather strong revival as well, which may yet counteract the existing factors leading to the emergence of the non-national identity of Kazakhstan.

Melvin Thomas Steely was known for the many accolades he earned in his life. But to his family he was known as "Daddy" — along with brother, husband and grandfather.
During Dr. Steely's funeral in January in Carrollton, his family was joined by a host of friends and colleagues from over the years, including former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Steely, a well-liked and respected history professor at the University of West Georgia, died on Jan. 13 at the age of 79. His funeral was held at the Carrollton First United Methodist Church on Jan. 16.
All the pews were full as Steely's sister, Elaine Marshall, delivered the eulogy. She said not a lot of people knew about his antics growing up, but his family did, and she put the crowd on notice that she was about to air a few of them.
There was the time a young Steely wanted to give his two childhood cats a bath – in the washing machine. He also thought it was a good idea to dry them on the clothes line outside.
"My granddaddy happened to be visiting with us that day, and he runs out to the yard screaming at Melvin, 'get those cats down,'" Marshall said, adding: "Poor granddaddy has to reach up and get those cats.
He was such a good brother, she said. They both started at what was then called West Georgia College together; she as a student, he as a teacher.
Whenever she had a history assignment, she would go over to his house and sit on his porch. He would tell her the story behind the history lessons. The background of the people, places and things that were going in the lesson.
Steely's knowledge and teaching also influenced his eldest grandson, Patrick Campbell. Campbell studied theology in college because of Steely's influence in his life. Campbell also sang a solo at his funeral.
His grandfather taught locally at the college, but he also headed up Bible study and Sunday school. One of the things he would speak with Campbell about is theology and the importance of being a free thinker.
Campbell said Steely taught him to find the best examples that you can in people, and mirror that in their own lives.
"To me, he's a fatherfigure, in more ways than one. He really held our family together. He was the glue that took care of everyone," he said.
He was the kind of person that put love before anything else in his life, Campbell said.
"We just knew him as Daddy. We knew he did all these things. We knew he was important and did all these things. You know – he's just Daddy," his daughter Bonnie Vernon said.
Gingrich, former U.S. Representative and Speaker of the House, first met Steely when he came to West Georgia College, and over the past 49 years became a good friend, adviser and, at times, a mentor to Gingrich.
Gingrich flew to Carrollton for the day to eulogize his old friend.
"We would travel together day after day in the (U.S. House) campaign. He knew so much about west Georgia. Whether it was Cedartown, Newnan, he was just invaluable. He was a genuine companion," Gingrich said.
Steely worked with Gingrich on his campaigns and helped get him elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and then became an aide to Gingrich for 13 years. Steely was chosen as Gingrich's biographer and archive curator for UWG's Georgia Political Heritage Program, a collection of recorded interviews of many of the state's political leaders, many of whom Steely interviewed himself.
He said he became close friends with Steely because Steely cared about others, was a good listener — and they both had a mutual interest in politics.
"He immersed himself in being my adviser. I think it's possible without Mel's help, I would not have become a congressman and I would not have become speaker. He was that big a difference," Gingrich said.
Former University of West Georgia President and professor Beheruz Sethna expressed his admiration and respect for Steely during Wednesday's service.
Sethna recalled a time he had to act as a "geek translator" for Steely when he was having computer problems. He came over to help Steely, and was able to get his email working after three months.
Sethna remembers exclaiming that Steely had over 700 emails, to which Steely replied, not to worry about it; 500 of them were probably from Sethna.
During his eulogy, Sethna also read emails UWG faculty had sent after hearing of Steely's death.
Lecturer Sandra Pollard said she remembered when she got her degree and didn't know what to do afterward. She said Steely brought her back to the university and put her on the track that led her to later become a university instructor.
She said her life wouldn't be the same without him.
University professor Robert Sanders said he will always remember their conversations because, despite their differences, their discussions were always provocative and fun.
Blynne Olivieri, head of Special Collections at Ingram Library, said Steely helped her visit her dying father. She remembers one day where Steely came into her office and asked her what was wrong. She told him about her father, and he offered to help manage the archive so she could go visit him before he died.
"You just don't forget that about a person," she said.
Over the course of his career, Steely received many awards and accomplishments across the spectrum of academics and politics.
Steely earned his Doctorate from Vanderbilt University and in 1964 began teaching Modern European and German History at West Georgia College.
He was the local and state president of the American Association of University Professors and also was a lobbyist for over 20 years for the Georgia American Association of University Professors. He received the Sumberg Award and the Warren Akin IV Award while he was involved with the American Association of University Professors.
The Sumberg award is given to people who are effective at lobbying higher education issues and furthering state lobbying efforts. The Akin award is given to someone who has done a special service to education and the principle of academic freedom, according to the association.
Steely was also the president for the Southeast region of The Historical Society, and was the director of The Georgia Political Heritage Program that he founded in 1985.
"Mel did that to really document the immense amount that Georgia politicians were really contributing to form our nation and to form a stronger state of Georgia," Olivieri said of The Georgia Political Heritage Program.
She said Steely's political-insider knowledge helped draw out stories and nuances in the oral history interviews that are part of the program. She said no one could replicate Steely when it came to conducting oral histories.
"Those interviews help show the intersections between people and the issues and how sort of the sausage gets made in Georgia politicking," she said.

Also, Picasso, Escobar, and Kubrick.
Kanye West had a backstage meltdown at SNL over the weekend, according to New York Post's Page Six, and almost walked away from his scheduled performance. And now Page Six got its hands on what it calls a surreptitiously recording of the meltdown. It's textbook Kanye: He disparages Taylor Swift—seriously, bud, get over it—while declaring himself "50%" more influential than Pablo Picasso, Stanley Kubrick, Pablo Escobar and Paul the Apostle. Now that's some A+ megalomania (also, weirdly specific—50%?).
Picasso: Cubist. Maybe the world's most famous artist.
Kubrick: Director. Definitely one of the most influential filmmakers.
Escobar: Drug lord. Probably the world's most successful coke dealer.
Paul: Apostle. Basically responsible for Christianity as we know it.


Gov. Jay Nixon has signed an executive order setting strict limitations on the activities of public adjusters working with insurance policyholders in Joplin. A public adjuster is a state-licensed individual who represents homeowners in claims negotiations with their insurance companies.
Public adjusters may offer to help consumers get more money for their insurance claims. Their fee is usually a percentage of the claims payment. This service can be valuable at times, but in many cases, consumers will be just as successful working directly with their insurance company, and they won't have to pay a fee.
Offer consumers 14 days to cancel a contract.
"Consumers should first work with their insurance companies themselves to settle insurance claims," said John M. Huff, director of the Department of Insurance. "Gov. Nixon's order gives consumers some time to allow that process to work, before they're solicited by a public adjuster."
Huff says if consumers reach an impasse with their insurance company on resolving a claim, hiring a public adjuster may be an option, but it comes at a cost. In any case, he says your first course of action should be to work with the insurance company yourself.
Huff urges consumers to exercise extreme caution before signing a contract with a public adjuster. He suggests checking with the Department of Insurance to verify the public adjuster is licensed. Consumers with questions or complaints can call the Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or visit insurance.mo.gov.


We also have to recognize his was much better when playing DE rather than OLB. Why our coaches don't realize that or utilize that only god knows. Even if he doesn't roam playing him at the other DE spot and getting another OLB. That is why I want to get BBK in the 2nd. Kick Clowney down to DE. Allow Mercilus to be rushing the passer 95+% so hopefully he gets his groove back.
I'm not sure Philly would have gotten a 1st for Bradford had a team in contention not suffered a terrible injury first. The playbook point is certainly fair, but that's just base system stuff. Gameplan plays aren't installed until the week of the game, so it's possible he could survive on cliff notes weekly. I think there's a good chance Rosen could raise his stock considerably between now and September with a great preseason. The league knows that offense was miserable last year. If under a better offense Rosen shows why he was a top 10 QB, then his value will improve.
I think it is possible that our 1st rounder this year is kind of like last year with Rashaan -- didn't come in for a private visit, in order to not tip other teams off. The other rounds though, I think we stick to only private visits/private workouts as our selections. I still think Burns and Wilkins will be gone by #19, though, so at that point, I can sure as heck justify a SIMMONS pick.
theuntouchable replied to Dome's topic in This aint sports talk!
Technically, the DE (Ford) jumping offsides nullified what could have been the game sealing interception, so in a way, yes, it was the reason they couldn't stop the Pats... prior to OT.
That's the part that had me really scratching my head. They immediately let Kareem Hunt go once that video came out, and they're already dealing with Tyreek Hill's issues.
I bet that's at the end of the the movie. Majority of the movie will just be the main 4.
Dome replied to Dome's topic in This aint sports talk!
lol remind me of the other two one time @theuntouchable drew scum in my games like 7 out of 8 times or something insane.
TACT XIX: Totally Worth A 1st, Thanks Oakland!!
Who the Browns are showing interest in.
Yeah and needs an extention, but if he'd be willing to sign a 2-3 year deal, it's worth it.
Good effort by the Blazers, but OKC won the season series 5-4. Westbrook is the people's champ. Doing it big but not getting recognized by a flawed system.
If Kyler is still there at 2, I would hope our 9ers would listen to trade offers. I want more picks!
Dude its also proven you could get two Pro Bowl players in both rounds. **** Tom Brady was a 6th round pick! Agree to Disagree. It's also Proven Dan Synder doesn't know **** about Winning in Football!!
Like it a lot. Love the trade down and the possibility of grabbing the guy we had targeted at 12 still. I'd prefer a better TE prospect but I could live with the Moreau/ Wilson combo. I don't understand the infatuiation some have with adding a tackle who will be surely buried on the depth chart if we stay healthy. We've got an elite set of tackles and a back up who is a better player than probably any tackle in this draft. Some will not be happy unless they see 100% of this draft dedicated to the offense and defensive lines which IMO happens to be our best and deepest groups right now.
MWil23 replied to RavensTillIDie's topic in This aint sports talk!
Exactly! Honestly too, by selling our house, we have guaranteed capital, our HELOC paid off (we used this to buy the land that we're building on), our house is sold, and we will walk away with enough for a down payment on our new house PLUS spare cash to put in savings, which we are excited about. Throw in the time hassle/what you're referencing above, it just made sense for us. We're ready to just be done with the process and the $3,000 difference was enough for peace of mind since we hit our other goals.

Barty through to Beijing semis, Osaka ends Andreescu's win streak
October 4, 2019 by admin 0 Comments
(Reuters) – World number one Ash Barty battled back from a set down to beat Czech Republic's seventh seed Petra Kvitova 4-6 6-4 6-3 to advance to the semi-finals of the China Open in Beijing on Friday.

French Open champion Barty, who had been beaten twice by Kvitova in Australia earlier this year, fired nine aces and converted three of six break points to win the encounter.
"That was one of the highest quality matches I played all year," Barty told reporters. "Petra always has a way of bringing out the best in me, she really does.
"From both of us, I think the level was incredible. Regardless of winning or losing, I think I'd be sitting here with the exact same perspective, kind of the same feeling of the match afterwards."
Although Kvitova, a two-times Wimbledon champion, fired 36 winners to Barty's 31, her unforced error count of 28 proved to be her downfall.
The Czech saved three match points when Barty served for the match at 5-3 in the decider but the Australian fought back to deuce and then fired a crosscourt forehand winner to move into the tournament's semis for the first time in her career.
Barty will face eighth seed Kiki Bertens, who upset third seed Elina Svitolina 7-6(6) 6-2.
In another battle of Grand Slam champions, Japan's Naomi Osaka beat U.S. Open holder Bianca Andreescu 5-7 6-3 6-4 in a thrilling encounter, ending the Canadian's 17-match winning streak to book her place in the semi-finals.
"I forgot how it felt and honestly it sucks, I didn't miss it," Andreescu said after her first loss since the Miami Open in March and her first loss against a top 10 opponent. "Hopefully that was fun.
"I think we're going to have many matches like this. Our game styles are pretty different, but they level up pretty equally."
Osaka fired 10 aces, 31 winners and won 78% of her first service points in a see-saw encounter that had a total of 11 breaks of serve. She will play defending champion Caroline Wozniacki, who beat Russia's Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-6(5).
Osaka became the fifth player to qualify for the season-ending WTA Finals in Shenzhen after Barty, Karolina Pliskova, Wimbledon champion Simona Halep and Andreescu.

Q: WinRT and WPF in Windows 8 As I understand, WinRT is a different version of WPF written without using the underlying Win32 APIs.
What's the relation of WinRT and WPF? Will WPF work under Metro in Windows 7 or will it launch the classic desktop?
That's not so clear from the Keynote. If someone has Windows 8 installed can confirm it's behaviour.
Thanks

A: WinRT is a new library that you can use XAML, but not WPF.
WPF is primarily uses DirectX for visual.
You can use WinRT with:

*

*XAML

*

*C#

*C++

*VB.NET

*HTML/JS/CSS

A: WinRT is a replacement for the Winapi.  The api is native, very unlike WPF that runs as a layer on top of the CLR.  It certainly resembles WPF, part of what causes confusion.  It adopted the metadata format of managed code, replacing type libraries of old.  And uses XAML for UI designs, much like WPF, Silverlight and Windows Phone.  You can still write WPF apps for Windows 8 but your app can't be published through the store, won't integrate with the Metro desktop nor will it run on tablets that are based on the ARM core.  Whether that's a real problem depends a great deal on how well Metro will do in the market place.

A: WinRT is a non managed API based on COM interfaces. You use it by calling objects buit in .winmd metadata files ( Windows\System32\WinMedataData directory).
All the namespaces begin with "Windows.".
You can write your Windows 8 application by using XAML files, but that's the only common point with WPF.

A: There is no relation between WPF and WinRT, just like there is no relation between Silverlight and WPF. Now we have three technologies, WPF, Silverlight and WinRT.
If you try to execute WPF application, it will not execute on Metro, it will execute in the classical desktop only.
In Visual Studio 2011, you have WPF and Metro as two different types of applications, and Xaml for WPF and WinRT is not same, Xaml for WinRT is pretty much same as that of Silverlight as lot of classes which exist for WPF are missing in WinRT library. But most of classes that exist for Silverlight are available in WinRT.

A: Windows Runtime (WinRT) is an alternative API used to create Metro Applications
(and later server application).
The APIs are class/method/struct based and surfaced to .Net metro apps, html5/css3/javascript apps and C/C++ metro applications.
The implementation is native.
APIs are made visible via .winmd files, which contain metadata very similar to the metadata you have in .Net assemblies.
The APIs are designed to secure and async friendly with many APIs requiring the use of async/await due to them potentially taking more than 50msec to execute.
It includes a subset of Win32 APIs and COM apis.
Anyway... the followings links help... channel9 also has some //Build/ videos on the subject..
