I have always had a soft spot for Gábor Kiss's reds but it never meant uncritical acceptance. Like with most other Pannonian winemakers the name in itself is no guarantee for year in, year out consistency (and by consistency I don't mean ironing out vintage differencies). Let's just say that when I'm looking for a proper Villány wine I always start with Wassmann and Kiss Gábor.
Code is just code for cabernet franc, as Enigma is for merlot. In my experience Code has always had the edge over Enigma. This year I didn't even bother to compare the two, in fact, I wouldn't even have bothered to taste any of them at all were it not for the recommendation of a friend whose judgement I trust. Sadly, my expectations for affordable South Pannonian reds have hit rock bottom in recent years.
2016 is not a great vintage for reds, certainly it wasn't particularly "warm & sunny". That still leaves the door open for balanced, "classic" reds. And of course to doctored, botoxed, "hi-tech" reds too. Thank God, Code belongs firmly in the first category.
There is nothing stunning about this wine. But in the space of three days it managed to convince me that it still holds good promise and it is as "naked" as possible. A wine its maker will be proud of in 4-5 years' time.
The nose is rather shy, it takes time to coax anything out. On the third day when it was at its most expressive it showed pencil shavings, dark chocolate, tobacco, cherries and hints of green pea pods. The balance was right from the get-go and it is probably the wine's greatest asset. There is nothing overdone, perhaps the tannins need a little taming but that's only fair with a youthful cabernet. The palate is brisk and vivacious, with peppery spices and juicy cherries. It's relatively light and is great to drink. The finish could be longer and could do with more fruit, as it is it's slightly too tannic and bitter for my taste. All in all, this is a classically restrained and pure cabernet that holds good promise for the future.
5-6 points and by international standards it is definitely uncompetitive at 25 euros.

I Hope Weird Nintendo Shows Up To E3 2019
In a conference filled with sequels and remakes, I'm looking for a curveball only Nintendo can throw.
Opinion by Eric Van Allen, News Editor
Updated on 7 June 2019
When you think of the games that most represent Nintendo, there are a few classics that come to mind, namely, the Marios, Zeldas, Pokemon, and other classics that have withstood countless years and iterations. But there is the other Nintendo, the "weird Nintendo," a company that loves to innovate and experiment with franchises in ways you don't expect. Since we're in the second year of the Nintendo Switch, headed into the third, now is prime time for some Weird Nintendo.
The first few years of a Nintendo console are when the marquee games land. From Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey down to Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64, Nintendo consoles frequently launch with a stable of recognizable names. While every now and then a GoldenEye 007 or Pikmin slips in, the start of a Nintendo console is where things are mostly standard.
But moving into the three or even four year out marker, where we're fast approaching with the Nintendo Switch, you start to see the risk-takers. Kirby Air Ride and Donkey Konga both hit the GameCube in 2003, a few years after launch, and took big risks with unconventional takes on classic characters.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance marked the tactics series' resurrection in the West, and the first console Fire Emblem to come stateside in the West; it later became one of Nintendo's most successful games in 2005. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was a creepy, strange evolution of the framework of Ocarina of Time, twisted into a Groundhog Day loop, but it's a franchise high point.
Modifying the status quo isn't just what Weird Nintendo is, to me at least. It's the complete left-fielders, the new IP or clever reinvention you never see coming. It's Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, a crossover developed by an outside studio mixing the devil summoning of Shin Megami Tensei with the heroes of Fire Emblem and throwing them into a world of idols and entertainment. It is Pokemon Snap coming out three years into the Nintendo 64's life cycle to turn the worldwide phenomenon of Pokemon into an on-rails camera-shooter, like Time Crisis: National Geography edition.
Super Mario Maker, which came late in the Wii U's life cycle, was custom-made for the blend of Nintendo nostalgia and the novelty of an otherwise strange controller. Splatoon is the poster child of weird for Nintendo, allowing developers to run wild with gameplay ideas to create something that feels like it reinvents a genre.
In the Nintendo Switch's current lineup, there is a lot to get excited about. I'm elated to play another Fire Emblem on a console, and to build more impossible Mario levels. I've loved my time with Breath of the Wild, and now my favorite Zelda is getting remade for the Switch as well. What we've seen so far is Nintendo's greatest hits, either new takes on classic series or incredibly solid iterations on established ground. My wish is in no way a reflection of the quality of Nintendo's catalog.
The time seems ripe for Nintendo to swing for the fences; to come out of E3 with a left-field game, either a reimagining of a classic or something bizarre and new. My favorite Nintendo announcements leave me bewildered, because I have no framework to put them in. When a new Mario is announced, I can run through the standards of what I know and understand Mario to be, and marvel at the ways in which they've disrupted or changed that. But with a game like Splatoon, I feel utterly lost. I have no preconceived expectations for something like that, just guesses at what Nintendo could do with what I'm seeing.
This E3 feels like the right time to pull out some surprises, to introduce something new and elevate it alongside its pantheon of classics. My expectations are that we'll see a lot of games we can expect, most of them sequels or remakes. But my sincere hope is that Nintendo takes this opportunity, in a Sony-less E3, at the height of Switch fervor, to get weird.

52.5. Planner/Optimizer
Prev Up
Chapter 52. Overview of PostgreSQL Internals
52.5.1. Generating Possible Plans
The task of the planner/optimizer is to create an optimal execution plan. A given SQL query (and hence, a query tree) can be actually executed in a wide variety of different ways, each of which will produce the same set of results. If it is computationally feasible, the query optimizer will examine each of these possible execution plans, ultimately selecting the execution plan that is expected to run the fastest.
In some situations, examining each possible way in which a query can be executed would take an excessive amount of time and memory. In particular, this occurs when executing queries involving large numbers of join operations. In order to determine a reasonable (not necessarily optimal) query plan in a reasonable amount of time, PostgreSQL uses a Genetic Query Optimizer (see Chapter 62) when the number of joins exceeds a threshold (see geqo_threshold).
The planner's search procedure actually works with data structures called paths, which are simply cut-down representations of plans containing only as much information as the planner needs to make its decisions. After the cheapest path is determined, a full-fledged plan tree is built to pass to the executor. This represents the desired execution plan in sufficient detail for the executor to run it. In the rest of this section we'll ignore the distinction between paths and plans.
The planner/optimizer starts by generating plans for scanning each individual relation (table) used in the query. The possible plans are determined by the available indexes on each relation. There is always the possibility of performing a sequential scan on a relation, so a sequential scan plan is always created. Assume an index is defined on a relation (for example a B-tree index) and a query contains the restriction relation.attribute OPR constant. If relation.attribute happens to match the key of the B-tree index and OPR is one of the operators listed in the index's operator class, another plan is created using the B-tree index to scan the relation. If there are further indexes present and the restrictions in the query happen to match a key of an index, further plans will be considered. Index scan plans are also generated for indexes that have a sort ordering that can match the query's ORDER BY clause (if any), or a sort ordering that might be useful for merge joining (see below).
If the query requires joining two or more relations, plans for joining relations are considered after all feasible plans have been found for scanning single relations. The three available join strategies are:
nested loop join: The right relation is scanned once for every row found in the left relation. This strategy is easy to implement but can be very time consuming. (However, if the right relation can be scanned with an index scan, this can be a good strategy. It is possible to use values from the current row of the left relation as keys for the index scan of the right.)
merge join: Each relation is sorted on the join attributes before the join starts. Then the two relations are scanned in parallel, and matching rows are combined to form join rows. This kind of join is attractive because each relation has to be scanned only once. The required sorting might be achieved either by an explicit sort step, or by scanning the relation in the proper order using an index on the join key.
hash join: the right relation is first scanned and loaded into a hash table, using its join attributes as hash keys. Next the left relation is scanned and the appropriate values of every row found are used as hash keys to locate the matching rows in the table.
When the query involves more than two relations, the final result must be built up by a tree of join steps, each with two inputs. The planner examines different possible join sequences to find the cheapest one.
If the query uses fewer than geqo_threshold relations, a near-exhaustive search is conducted to find the best join sequence. The planner preferentially considers joins between any two relations for which there exists a corresponding join clause in the WHERE qualification (i.e., for which a restriction like where rel1.attr1=rel2.attr2 exists). Join pairs with no join clause are considered only when there is no other choice, that is, a particular relation has no available join clauses to any other relation. All possible plans are generated for every join pair considered by the planner, and the one that is (estimated to be) the cheapest is chosen.
When geqo_threshold is exceeded, the join sequences considered are determined by heuristics, as described in Chapter 62. Otherwise the process is the same.
The finished plan tree consists of sequential or index scans of the base relations, plus nested-loop, merge, or hash join nodes as needed, plus any auxiliary steps needed, such as sort nodes or aggregate-function calculation nodes. Most of these plan node types have the additional ability to do selection (discarding rows that do not meet a specified Boolean condition) and projection (computation of a derived column set based on given column values, that is, evaluation of scalar expressions where needed). One of the responsibilities of the planner is to attach selection conditions from the WHERE clause and computation of required output expressions to the most appropriate nodes of the plan tree.

"Warriors" Cat Fiction: The Next Big Thing?
By Tom Demerly.
I was in a small gift shop on an island when I first saw one of Erin Hunter's The Warriors series books. I opened it and read one page.
And my trip began.
Warriors is an opulent, luxurious fantasy novel series featuring fictional cats who are empowered with mythical abilities. Their mystical powers have roots in ancient lore attributed to Native American, African and Asian cats- including Egyptian mythology. The result is a dream-like journey with loveable characters overlaid on a detailed examination of cat zoology and animal behavior science. Plot lines and morals threaded through the series feel like an amalgam of sacred texts, from Buddhist writing to the Bible and many others.
The Warriors series is immensely complex, featuring a dizzying number of cat-characters. On the Wiki page for the book series one reviewer is cited as saying the series is "confusing due to its large number of characters".
But the incredible dream-like quality of the scenes, characters and the fairy-tale, Aesop's-like moral themes unfold at a brisk pace that is incredibly readable and engaging.
"The incredible dream-like quality of the scenes, characters and the fairy-tale, Aesop's-like moral themes unfold at a brisk pace that is incredibly readable and engaging."
Author Erin Hunter is actually three writers and an editor/plot director; Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui Sutherland write the The Warriors series with Victoria Holms editing.
"Warriors" writing team includes (Left to right) Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, Tai Sutherland and Cherith Baldry.
This writing team may have created The Next Big Thing. Before you dismiss this idea, let me propose the following:
According to the A.S.P.C.A. there are 96 million pet cats in the United States. Nearly 37% of American households, more than one-third, have a cat. One celebrity cat, Tara the Hero Cat, earns an estimated "$55,000-$463,000 per year" according to the New York Times. Add in other celebrity cats and the total take for the top earning celebrity cats is well over $10 million- probably much more. Now, consider the "Hobbit" film trilogy grossed over $3 billion for three movies, and no one has a Hobbit for a pet. You get the idea; combine cats with a Star Wars style plot line and some convincing computer generated cat characters with celebrity voices and… The commercial potential for The Warriors series is titanic (pun intended), with licensing possibilities for plush toys of each of the cat characters, lines of every pet accessory attributed to the series and about every other standard movie merchandising theme imaginable. The earnings potential is boggling. Why the big movie studios haven't grabbed this series already is a mystery.
Business potential aside, The Warriors series is why we read. It is escapist, descriptive, creative and pulls you in. Your imagination wanders the mystical forests in the moonlight with the cats. You learn about real cat behaviors and you see your own cats differently after reading these.
I'm a Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Robert F. Dorr fan- technotrhillers, not flowery fantasy stories. But The Warriors series spans genres and speaks across topics to the animal lover and storyteller in me. This series is a gem waiting for mainstream discovery. I'm looking forward to seeing this series explode in popularity and I'm thrilled I discovered it early.

Yes! I think these were originally intended for a young adult readership but grown-ups love them too! Thank you for reading!
Just bought a copy last evening of the first series (book two) and interestingly enough this series has been around for at least ten years as the girl that led me to them had been reading them since she was 12 (she is now a college student!) 🙂

Dr. Lee was a wonderfully kind and patient doctor. My adult daughter has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum disorder and the entire staff was wonderful with her. I would highly recommend the office to anyone looking. It was clean and cheerfuland we waited less than 10 minutes to get in to see her. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff.
Whole staff was extremely kind and helpful. Answered every question and were very courteous, bedside manner is fantastic.
The staff and Dr Lee were most attentive and professional. They explained everything to me and I left feeling so much better!
The front desk staff was extremely nice, the nurse taking all information for the doctor was very thorough. The woman who did my hearing test explained what she was doing and immediately told me the results which was nice. The Doctordid a very good examination and explained everything very well! I really liked that she wants to do the conservative treatment before going further...will go back and see her!
Everyone was very nice, great atmosphere to be in especially for a doctor's office. ????????
Most of my time was spent with audiologist Paige and she was very good!

Brain Development: How is the Brain of a Baby Developed?
Baby brain has finished growing 80% of its cells by age three, thus how your child spends this time will have a decisive impact on your child's intelligence. Here, we will discuss the best ways to stimulate your baby's brain.
The most crucial of all organs in the human body is the brain. That includes the baby's brain of course. This organ is the highest nerve center which governs all of human being's activities, from the heartbeat to sophisticated thoughts and emotions.
Despite its importance, it is a very small organ. It weighs a mere 1.5kg, with a volume that is no more than that of a newspaper.
The brain's main sources of energy are oxygen and glucose. It also has a much higher caloric consumption compared to other organs, taking more than 20% of total caloric intake.
Our brain can be roughly divided into three areas: the cortical forebrain, the information center of the midbrain, and the hindbrain, which governs vital functions.
The forebrain can be further divided into the cerebrum and the brainstem.
Hindbrain, on the other hand, consists of the cerebellum, medulla, spinal cord and pons. The cerebrum develops latest among the parts of the brain. It occupies most the space, and is formed from right and left hemispheres. Meanwhile, the cerebellum can also be divided into left and right. Its surface is covered with numerous horizontal channels. This organ keeps the body balanced and upright.
Whereas the midbrain is responsible for eyeball movement, iris contraction, and other eye-related activity. In addition, it manages hormone secretion, regulates body temperature, and controls appetite, among other things. The brainstem, found between the cerebrum and the cerebellum, almost acts like an inspection station for all the senses. All sensory information passes through the brainstem before moving to the sense organs.
In the hindbrain, the medulla regulates heartrate, breathing, digestion and other necessary vital functions. That's why injuries to the cerebrum and cerebellum are not fatal, but damage to the medulla leads to brain death and is fatal. The lowest extent of the brain is the spinal cord, the throughway of the nerves for movement, sensation and self-regulation. Lastly is the pons, which is situated between the midbrain and the medulla, and acts as the bridge between these organs.
Most of the space occupied by the brain is taken up by the cerebrum, which is divided into left and right hemispheres. The two hemispheres are joined by the corpus callosum, forming a coordinated neural system. A layer of neurons 0.3cm thick forms, creases and soon becomes the neural cortex.
The concentration of some 1.4 billion neurons form winding shapes, giving the appearance of jagged canal channels. Using a number of the coarser channels as reference points, the cerebrum can be divided into three. They are the frontal, parietal, occipital and two temporal lobes.
The widest part of the frontal lobe is responsible for abstract thought and language, and can be said to have some relationship to human sociality.
During brain activity, the frontal lobe serves the additional purposes of accessing memory and other information stored in the brain. Impediments to the frontal lobe can lead to mental illness.
The parietal lobe is capable of synthesizing information from the outside world to guide physical activity.
Temporal lobes, on the other hand, are associated with language and hearing, and are also an important site of higher mental activity.
Lastly, the anteriorly located occipital lobe is the vision center of the brain.
The cerebral cortex looks like an almond with all of its crooked channels. However, it is in fact the place in the brain, unique to human beings. It is where higher reasoning, judgement, imagination and other such mental activities take place.
The brain cells that make up the cerebral cortex are composed of numerous dendrites. Those of which protrude from the cell body on one end, and the branch-like axon on another end. Dendrites function by transmitting external stimuli to other brain cells. Linking axons to brain cells are what are called neurons. Healthy neuronal development will mean faster processing in the brain.
Therefore, an intelligent child is one who lives in a nurturing environment from an early age where they are provided with plenty of stimuli that encourage neuronal growth.
The newborn's brain has a mass of 400-500g, no more than 25% as that of an adult. By 1 year, brain mass rapidly increases to 1,000g. At age 3, baby brain mass reaches 1,200g. That is already 80% of the way to fully-grown mass and reflects a fourfold increase of volume and mass. The number of brain cells at this time still amounts to the 1.4 billion that the child had at birth.
Therefore, increasing the number of brain cells has little impact on the brain. The real determining factor is how many connections exist between brain cells. That is, to what extent the neurons have developed.
The connections between brain cells form at a remarkable rate before age 3. Thus, it is critical that you provide plenty of the appropriate mental stimuli during this period.
By age 3, no part of the brain more developed than any other part. Rather, the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes have developed at a balanced rate. Development occurs primarily in the frontal lobe from ages 3 to 6. Progress occurs mainly in the two temporal lobes. Those are responsible for language and the medially located parietal lobe. Occipital lobe development takes place from ages 12 to 20.
Since brain development is distributed evenly across the entire brain prior age 3, it's during this time that the foundation for all future development is established. If the brain grows as much as possible in this 3-year timeframe, all subsequent development of the different parts of the brain will have a better outcome. This is why, prior to age 3, the key to fostering brain growth lies in balanced and generalized development.
The so-called "linguistic brain" also governs various forms of intelligence like abstract thought, counting, analytic problem-solving and deliberation. Linguistic intelligence reaches maturity when the new cortical tissue of the cerebral cortex fuses and forms connections. This is a higher form of intelligence that other animals lack.
This side of the brain governs the right side of the body and is associated with intuition, artistic ability, musicality and rhythm. It also keeps the emotions of the left brain in check, and stores information crucial for human survival. The left brain has better memory storage. However, if the right brain doesn't develop, all of those memories simply pile up in the brain for lack of any creativity. Therefore, it is essential that right and left sides of the brain undergo balanced development.
The skin has been referred to as "the second brain" or "the outer brain". Whereas, the brain and skin alike are formed initially from the epiblast. What's more, the skin is linked to the brain by vast array of nerves. That's why even the slightest stimulus transmits to the brain immediately upon contact. The closer to being a newborn a child is, the more you should massage their skin. This way, you help promote brain development by stimulating the skin. What's more is, with your gentle, caring hands, you can strengthen the bond between mother and child.
Brain and muscle development go hand-in-hand. It was when we gained bipedal locomotion, freeing up our hands, that we became the wisest of all creatures. Furthermore, the part of the brain that occupies the most space happens to be the area associated with hand-movement. You should give your child toys that they can manipulate with their fingertips. That contributes significantly to the development of intelligence.
Carbohydrates nourish brain cells, proteins facilitate nerve transmission, and fats assist in the formation of the nerve cell membranes. All of these nutrients encourage brain development. The act of eating itself can stimulate the organs associated with sight, smell, taste and touch. It also reinforces the system of nerves leading to the brain. Feed your child different kinds of foods and talk to them as they eat to stimulate all five senses.
By talking with your child nonstop, you stimulate your child's center of hearing and encourage further brain development. Not only does this improve your child's linguistic abilities. It goes a long way in bringing mother and child together on a more intimate level. Whether changing diapers, feeding weaning food, bathing or cleaning, you'll find your child's budding linguistic abilities developing even more quickly. That is if you talk to your child during these activities.
When your child is playing, keeping in line with their development, it is necessary to praise them even for the smallest accomplishments. Praising your child gives them self-confidence and a sense of achievement. It is also associated with later attempts on their part to try more sophisticated activities. In this repetitive, constantly advancing process, your child's brain will be able to pass through all the stages of development.
You should give your child plenty of opportunities to closely observe a variety of objects so that their curiosity will flourish. When your child is sitting and playing, if there is something that can stimulate their curiosity, try your best to make sure they experience it. The kitchen in particular is like a laboratory where the spirit of discovery can take shape. Putting aside things that you need to be especially careful about, such as knives, fire and glassware. Let your child rifle through whatever is on the countertop or cupboards. For your child, this can serve as a very valuable chance to learn new things.
Children feel happy when the temperature of a room is about 24˚C and in a humidity of 50-60%. Ideally, the baby room should be open to sunlight, but direct exposure should be avoided. Try to minimize disturbing noises coming from outside the room. The sounds of voices, laughter and the television are, of course, not good for the child. If you played antenatal music for your child, you should play this for them on a low volume. Also try your best to reduce the noise of all daily activities.
Although every mother knows she should stimulate her child's brain, many have no idea just how they should go about so-called "genius training". On top of this, the majority of a child's time at this age is spent eating or sleeping. If you give your child all kinds of cards or study materials, they will have a tantrum and won't be able to pay any attention to these things. Their studies will progress very slowly. For this reason, all you can do is stimulate your child's brain through daily activities by talking to them during bathing, nursing, dressing, diaper changing and massaging.
You should be sure to respond to your child and show them that you care. Try to quickly observe your child's reactions and responses to things so that you may find out what they like, what they want, what they dislike, what they find funny and what makes them mad.
The earlier your child begins musical education, the more influence it will have on their cognitive and emotional development. When your child hears more music, the more they will pay attention to it, the bigger contribution it will have to fostering creativity. As your child is still an infant incapable of free movement, you can play them music to help them get acquainted with their surroundings.
Months 1-3 are the period when intimate relations are established. Your child comes to form a relationship with you by hearing your heartbeat, feeling your skin, smelling your scent and other bodily interactions. These activities also promote development of the five senses. Make the most of this time by playing with your child as much as possible when they are awake. Take advantage of nursing, diaper-changing and bath times to massage or hug your child.
From months 1 to 3, children enjoy aural stimuli most of all. Because your child's sense of hearing is undergoing rapid development at this time, be sure to play them plenty of music. Throughout the process of listening to music, your child's hearing will improve naturally. Singing lullabies as you rock your child to sleep has a calming effect. Classical music is a good choice especially pieces with a clear rhythm and lots of repetition. It is recommended that you pick one song and play it several times over the course of the day for your child.
By this age, your child will be able to move their hands and feet however they please. They will unconditionally place anything they can grasp in their mouth. Your child becomes familiar with objects as a means of learning about objects. So, you should not keep them from sucking or biting objects they find. This is critical for brain development. Place mobiles within arm's reach of your child to give them something to touch and explore. Through this process of looking, thinking and grasping, they will gain a sense of accomplishment and find more stimulation in their surroundings.
At this time, your child should begin supporting their neck and be attempting to turn over their body. Giving your child ample time to lie on their tummy can promote muscle development. Aside from that, it also widens their field of vision. It is easier for your child to rotate their neck left and right while on their tummy as opposed to on their back. If your child is a fast learner, they will start crawling as soon as they can get their neck up which is an important step in the development of physical activity.
By this age, your child should be weaning off breast milk. You should add some more flavors to your child's menu besides breast milk and formula. Various weaning foods that are balanced in nutrients can also be used to stimulate your child's sense of taste.
Your child's activity level will increase dramatically during this time, so make sure that they are getting enough calories.
Curiosity is what drives a child's activity. By constantly giving your child new things to play with, you do much to stimulate this sense of curiosity. Your child is quite sensitive to things that stimulate vision, hearing, smell and the other senses. Toys that emit sounds and that are brightly colored are an apt choice. From 6 months on especially, it is highly recommended that you encourage your child to work their little muscles. If you give them a plastic cup or other small toys, encourage them to grasp the objects as they play.
In addition to encouraging the growth of major and minor muscles through physical activity, you also need to promote the development of the five senses and the brain. For this reason, it is best if you can find toys for your child that make your child more active while also stimulating the five senses. Some examples include electronic toys, toys that can be rolled around, toys that emit noise upon shaking and toys that can be grasped and sucked on. Your child will use both hands to play with these toys, which engages both sides of the brain equally.
Your child will be keenly attuned to adults and will imitate what they do at this age. Though incapable of speech, they will still imitate adult behavior. Imitative behavior generally appears when your child is sitting and playing. Until about age 1, your child will attempt lively imitations of the things they see on TV.
While your child becomes concerned with what's around them, you should make an effort to describe these things to them. Every time you go outside, take the opportunity to describe in detail the things in your child's line of sight. As you do this, the range of things your child can pay attention to will grow. Although your child will make a mess of the whole house as they explore this and that with their hands, such activity helps them, mentally and physically, through the process of developing self-expression. Rather than trying to maintain the strict tidiness of your home, it's always better to give your child the freedom to play to their heart's content.
It is at this age that your child begins to develop self-recognition which comes with a stronger desire to do things on their own. Despite this, they will still become uneasy if Mom disappears, as this is also when their feelings of dependence form. It is not recommended that you encourage independence by keeping your child out of your arms or simply letting them play on their own. Being frightened will impede activities that encourage brain development. You should build trust with your child, let them know you are by their side protecting them, and then try to give them chances to play on their own.
What makes this period special is that it is when your child learns how to walk. Walking indicates that the part of your child's brain that controls motion and activity has developed normally. With your child's first steps comes a desire to move about and explore one's surroundings independently, this desire becomes evident progressively and naturally. This desire reflects your child's attempts to learn about the world independently and is a catalyst for further brain development, which naturally drives the formation of self-recognition and independence.
No matter how big of a mess is made or how many things get turned over, you need to ensure that your child forms a will of their own that says "See for yourself." Allowing for mishaps let your child feel around and run into things so that they can come to better understand the properties of objects. It is alright to step aside and let your child handle things themselves. Try to help them feel a sense of accomplishment and thereby gain some self-confidence.
This is the age in which curiosity flourishes. With a fairly solid understanding of most speech, a two year old will be able to string together two words to express more complex ideas.
This is both a need for and an expression of linguistic development which comes about gradually through imitation. The two year imitates as a form of learning self-expression. Therefore, you should try to give them more to see and hear, give them more chances to imitate, so that their creativity and imagination can slowly take shape.
Though everyone is different, in general, your child should now be using more single-word phrases, and even be able to string them together into sentences. At this time, you will see them take a greater interest in using language as a means of self-expression. Listen to what your child has to say and try to teach them even more ways to say what they mean by giving them plenty of opportunities to talk.
And that's it when it comes to the information needed to know regarding baby's brain.

How to Make a Magic Mixtape
Photo by naumoid/iStock / Getty Images
I self identify as an enchantress, as in I use music and words to subtly shift reality (namely mine) in a positive way . Scientifically speaking music has a clinically observed ability to stimulate positive chemical release in our brains, changing our mood in a very real way. My theory is that when we're in the right mind set, we see opportunities to keep our internal narration going in that direction, so the better you feel the more you set yourself up to feel better. When I have a specific intention, I use songs I've written as well as playlists to help shift myself into the mindset and life I desire. It's easier to interact with than a vision board and it's easy to change as my needs change. Power Playlists are where it's at! So here's how to make one for yourself.
I'm focusing on a healthy relationship with money this moon cycle so I'll use my own playlist as an example.
Start by naming whatever your intention is. I've named my playlist "Fear No Expense". To start off with, you want to use songs that reflect how you feel about ______ most of the time, like your most common feelings about whatever it is your trying to change. I'm starting my playlist off with Pink Floyd's song Money. Getting down these base feelings often takes more than one song, since we're complex creatures with a variety of influencing experiences. I added Aloe Blacc's I need a Dollar and Barrett Strong's Money, that's what I want. I'm building from being disgusted by money, then being desperate for it, then admitting that there is an overwhelming need to improve the quality of my life and being frustrated that I don't have the money to do it.
Now that I've got my "where I'm at now' feelings covered, it's time to climb up an emotional ladder, which I'm doing with New Radicals song You Get What You Give and Michael Franti & Spearhead's song I'm Alive (Life Sounds Like) I picked these songs as kind of my in between "I don't have money yet, but I'm grateful and it's going to come in eventually" songs.
To wrap things up I added Kerli's Walking on Air as a success story, Lissie's Everywhere I go for a dose of always being looked out for, and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's Can't Hold Us because feeling like no glass ceiling can hold me is the goal.
Check out my Playlist Here
Once you've got yourself a magical mix, all you need to do is listen to it when you find yourself slipping into habits, or before you go to bed, or right after you wake up. What are you going to make a playlist for?

2 Know A Worthy New App? Let Us Know!
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android games that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous week or so. Today I have an interesting take on the murder-mystery format, a creepy game about a frog surviving in a flooded forest, and the latest puzzler from Hamster On Coke Games. So without further ado, here are the most notable games released this week.

Android Police coverage: [Update: Now available] Interactive murder mystery game The Black Widow coming to Android August 1
The Black Widow was slated for an August release, and now that it's here, you may be wondering what's on offer. This is an interactive murder-mystery game that revolves around Australia's first female serial killer. It's basically a narrative-based adventure where you'll get to interview a digital representation of the killer in order to hunt down clues and ultimately solve a string of murders.

They Breathe
They Breathe is an indie release where you play as a lone frog that's tasked with diving the depths of a flooded forest. While diving in the water you'll have to search out air bubbles to stay alive, and of course, there will be enemies trying to kill you and your frog brethren. The deeper you dive, the creepier the game becomes, and while I don't want to ruin the ending, trust me when I say things can get real disturbing real quick.
Developer: The Working Parts
OXXO comes from Hamster On Coke Games, the creator of Zenge and Scalak, two very-worthwhile puzzle games. Luckily this dev has not lost its touch as OXXO is just as delightful as its previous two releases. Interestingly there is no tutorial in OXXO, which means each player has to figure the game's mechanics out on their own. Mainly the title's puzzles offer simple sliding-tile setups where you'll shift and rotate the pieces on the board in an effort to discover a sensical solution.

G30 - A Memory Maze Demo
G30 - A Memory Maze is a minimal puzzle game that landed on Android earlier this year, and this week a demo version has landed on the Play Store. Just like the original release, this is a game that tells a unique story about a person suffering from a cognitive disorder, and it will be your job to piece together their memory by solving two-part puzzles made up of scattered text and random visual images. Of course, since this is a demo release, you'll only get to play through part of the game, so if you like what you see, you can pick up the full title off the Play Store for $3.99.
Monetization: free / no ads / no IAPs
G30 - A Memory Maze (Demo)
Developer: Ivan Kovalov
Planetaris
I stumbled across Planetaris on Reddit, and while the game looks simplistic, it's definitely worth a try. You'll start out by avoiding obstacles in space, but as you progress more mechanics are added to the game, which means you'll have to stay on your toes if you plan on making it through the title's seventy levels.
Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs
Developer: Untouched Unicorns
Zombie Defense is labeled as a classic RTS game that features tower-defense mechanics, though really its setup resembles every other mobile game of this nature. It will be your job to recruit your teammates, to then send them out on the battlefield to auto-battle your many enemies. As your soldiers perish, you can click on the buttons at the bottom of the screen to send out more units. Along the way, you'll want to upgrade your units to remain competitive.
Zombie Defense: Battle TD Survival
Developer: DIVMOB
BRIKO CBT : Build, Break, Repeat
BRIKO CBT : Build, Break, Repeat is a new release that's currently in early access, and it offers a simple brick-breaker setup. While you are free to test the game during early access, saves will not carry over once the title is officially released. So if you'd like to check out this adorable brick-breaker before the official release, now's your chance.

Developer: Com2uS
Human Heroes Einstein's Clock
Human Heroes Einstein's Clock was previously covered whenever the premium version Human Heroes Einstein On Time was released on the Play Store. Today's release offers a demo of the premium version. At its core, this is an educational game that's perfect for any child that wants to learn how to tell time. The title stars Albert Einstein, and he is voiced by the English actor Stephen Fry. The game is very polished, and obviously, the voice work is top-notch. So if you'd like to try the game before you buy, now you can.
Developer: Human Heroes Ltd
Seven Seas - Sink Your Friends
Seven Seas - Sink Your Friends is a stylish online-multiplayer Battleship clone. Much like its inspiration, you'll spend your time competing against online opponents to see who can sink each other's fleet first. But if that doesn't float your boat, you may be more interested in the game's quests and empire-building mechanics, which fleshes out the game past its Battleship roots.
Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs $0.99 a piece
Developer: Teatime Games, Inc.
Long Keith The Sausage Thief (Snake Game)
Long Keith The Sausage Thief is an enjoyable Snake-like game that's themed around an adorable Dachshund that loves to eat sausages. There are fifty levels to play through that span five different worlds, and if you're into high-scores, there's a leaderboard available. All in all, if you love Snake games, you'll probably enjoy Long Keith The Sausage Thief.
Developer: Pack It Up Boys
Kubrix
Kubrix is an interesting puzzle game where you turn the edges of multiple cubes to connect a few lines to the center cube. These lines are scattered at first, which is why you'll have to use trial and error to figure out each puzzle. The graphics are clean and vibrant, and the gameplay is rather enjoyable in short bursts, so if you dig visual puzzle games, Kubrix is a solid choice.
Developer: Kenny Sun
Pack Master
As a person that enters into an enjoyable trance-like state as they delve into the minutiae of packing luggage for a trip, Pack Master is the game I've been waiting all of my life for. At its core, this is a casual puzzle game where you are tasked with fitting objects inside of random suitcases, and the more you progress, the harder it is to fit each item. Honestly, there's nothing quite as satisfying as carefully fitting each every item into a bag, much like in real life. So if you're as much of a fastidious packer as I am, you're going to want to download Pack Master post-haste.
Developer: Lion Studios
Zombie Royale
Zombie Royale reminds me a lot of PIKPOK's Into the Dead series, though it clearly offers less polish, not to mention a ton of advertisements. Considering that this is a Ketchap release, the ads are hardly a surprise, though you can remove them through a single in-app purchase if you'd like to play without any distractions. More or less, you simply run through each stage shooting or dodging any zombies that get in your way, which can be fun at first but grows old quickly.
Developer: Ketchapp
OneBit Adventure
I discovered OneBit Adventure thanks to a post on Reddit, and despite the name, this game actually offers graphics closer to that of the 8-bit era. It's a roguelike dungeon-crawler, and it will be your job to plunge the depths of these dungeons in search of loot. Of course, the better your equipment, the better your chances of surviving, so you'll want to hunt down new loot as much as possible. Just keep in mind that the title is still under development, so expect a few rough edges.
Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs from $0.99 - $9.99
Developer: Galactic Slice
Truck Night in America: AR
Truck Night in America: AR is a tie-in release for the popular History Channel show Truck Night in America. You'll get to create and customize your very own truck, and there are tons of parts, colors, and decals to choose from. The goal of the game is to compete for the best truck designs, so customization is vital if you're looking to win a few competitions.
Developer: A&E Television Networks Mobile
COREz
COREz is an interesting shooter from 111%, and unlike the majority of titles from this developer, you can expect detailed pixel-based graphics. Your job is to equip your planet with turrets that can shoot incoming threats. As you progress, you'll unlock new turrets as well as a few abilities, which means you'll eventually get to build the ultimate Death Planet.
Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs from $0.99 - $15.99
Developer: 111%
Tough Road is another release from 111%, and it's an enjoyable destruction-derby-like game where you ram into vehicles until there are none left standing. As you advance through the game's stages, you'll earn new equipment for your car, which should help you in your quest to take down every vehicle that crosses your path.
DodgeHarder
DodgeHarder is a simple auto-shooting action game where character placement is matters a great deal. This is because you can't shoot while you are moving, and so you will have to position your character carefully in order to get off enough shots to kill each of your enemies. Of course, these baddies are also shooting at you while you are trying to kill them, so you'll have to stay on your toes by continually shifting your position every time you get a few shots off.
Developer: IKINA GAMES

"Only What You Need...At A Price Guaranteed!"
This 6.6 L GMC Sierra had a 3 1/2" System. With Customer here, we tested 3 Different mufflers. Only the Magnaflow had a dual outlet. The 2nd muffler we tried was a Heavy Duty Cherry Bomb, and the last muffler was a Flowmaster 50 Series with a 3 1/2" Inlet and outlet. This last one was Customer's choice, it sounded the deepest. So we needed to make y pipes to acomodate the 3" tails with 4" chrome tips.

Třída U 93 byla třída ponorek německé Kaiserliche Marine z období první světové války. Celkem bylo rozestavěno 38 jednotek této třídy, z nichž bylo 24 dokončeno (dvě až po válce). Ve službě u německého námořnictva byly v letech 1917–1918. Sedm ponorek bylo za války ztraceno. Po válce přeživší čluny získaly vítězné mocnosti (Francie, Itálie, USA a Velká Británie).

Stavba
Do stavby této třídy se zapojily německé loděnice Germaniawerft v Kielu a Bremer Vulkan ve Vegesacku. Celkem bylo rozestavěno 38 jednotek této třídy.

Jednotky třídy U 93:

Konstrukce

Základní výzbroj ponorek U 93–U 95 představoval jeden 88mm kanón TK L/30 C/08) a u ostatních ponorek jeden kanón 105mm kanón KL/45. Ponorky nesly šest 500mm torpédometů (čtyři příďové a dva záďové) se zásobou 12 torpéd. Zásoba torpéd byla u některých ponorek za války zvětšena až na 16 kusů. Základní Pohonný systém tvořily dva šestiválcové diesely MAN o výkonu 2400 bhp a dva elektromotory SSW o výkonu 1200 shp, pohánějící dva lodní šrouby. Nejvyšší rychlost dosahovala 16,8 uzlu na hladině a 8,6 uzlu pod hladinou. Dosah byl 8300 námořních mil při rychlosti 8 uzlů na hladině a 50 námořních mil při rychlosti 5 uzlů pod hladinou. Operační hloubka ponoru dosahovala 50 metrů. Ponoření trvalo 66 vteřin.

Modifikace
Část ponorek se lišila svým pohonným systémem. Ponorky U 96–U 98 a U 111–U 114 poháněly diesely Germania o výkonu 2300 bhp, ponorky z loděnice Bremer Vulcan měly elektromotory o výkonu 1230 shp.

In Disaster in Japan: Nuclear Energy, the Economy and the U.S.-Japan Alliance, CNAS experts provide their perspectives on three critical areas: America's vital alliance with Japan, the world's energy future and the Japanese economy.
The U.S.-Japan Alliance. Daniel Kliman suggests there may be a transformation of Japan's domestic politics, a possible reorientation of Japan's defense policy including changing attitudes toward the American military presence and new pressures on Japanese defense expenditures.
The World's Energy Future. Christine Parthemore writes, "as Japan's nuclear energy future is altered, the world's nuclear energy future will shift as well." She analyzes whether the crisis will induce a retreat from nuclear energy, if development of next-generation nuclear reactors will accelerate and whether global confidence in Japanese nuclear technology will falter.
The Japanese Economy and Ripple Effects. David Asher and Patrick Cronin write, "The severity of the nuclear meltdown is crucial and may determine whether Japan eventually bounces back to its original economic trajectory or plunges into another deep recession."

So tell me how do I control my dandelions?
... and Liz Rog. The letter that Liz wrote about not spraying dandelions (5/14/2015), was well-timed. I had just gotten a flyer in my mailbox from All-American Turf Beauty, and I must confess that I was sorely tempted, mainly because in my front and side yards, I don't have grass with some dandelions, I have dandelions with some grass, and the eastern three-quarters of my little backyard is mostly Creeping Charlie, with the remainder perversely growing in obscene, weed-free luxuriance at the rate of about an inch an hour.
The Decorah Town and Country Garden Club recently planted an 'Autumn Blaze' maple tree at Vennehjem in memory of Elaine (Mrs. Gerald) Johnson.
"What's Your Spark?" is a series of free, weekly hands-on activity and reading programs for anyone age 10 and older, including curious adults.
Running through Aug. 4, the series focus is on things to make, do and learn about that "spark" ideas and creative self expression; develop useful skills and build connections with others (human and non-human).
The second meeting of the Single Women's Social Network is a potluck at Pat Brockett's house Tuesday, March 4, at 6 p.m.
It can be challenging to live in a society that seems to demand we "do more" and "be more" – often with no regard for the impact our actions might have on others. In the rush of our daily routines, we can lose sight of the fact that peace is available to us in every moment. The concept of a more peaceful and mindful approach to living will be explored in the film "Peace Is Every Step," being shown Sunday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 12, and sponsored by the Northeast Iowa Peace and Justice Center and the Decorah Zen Center.


I have been traveling with my show guns for over 20 years now. Some of that air travel has logged over 160,000 air miles each year. That has given me the opportunity to test a lot of gun cases. I choose my sponsors so I don't have to lie about their products!
