Whether you're looking for a serious relationship or a casual hookup, these are the best apps for finding a Valentine's Day companion.
By Jeffrey L. Wilson, Jeff Wilson, Karl Klockars

Whether you're looking for a long-term relationship or a quick booty call, there's a dating app out there for everyone. From the hyper-specific—FarmersOnly, JDate, 3Fun—to the ones we review here that cast a wider net, what do you need to know to find the love of your life…or just your love for the night?
The first thing you need to decide is how committed you are. As in, how much do you want to pay to make your heart go pitter-patter? Some apps, like Plenty of Fish, let you view profiles and send messages for free. Most of the others let you view your potential matches without charging, but make you pony up and subscribe if you want to actually reach out to them. While the monthly charges for the apps we review here range in price from $10 to more than $40, most offer a discount if you commit to a long-term subscription such as six months or a year. (You're not afraid of commitment, are you?) Then, there are all of the add-ons. Options—letting you pay to boost your ranking in search results, letting someone know that you are really, really interested in him or her or them, or undoing a dreaded left-swipe that was supposed to be a right-swipe—will cost you extra. While some apps may advertise themselves as free, all of them will try to get a buck from you in the end.
Selling Yourself
When it comes down to actually putting yourself out there and creating a profile, all apps ask for the basics: name, age, location, a photo, a short blurb about yourself, and (usually) if you can stand a person who smokes. Beyond that, it can be a bit of a crapshoot. Some apps, like Tinder, value photos over personality. Others, like eHarmony, make you fill out an endless questionnaire before you can even think about browsing for your match. Still others, like Zoosk, ask so little that you're left to wonder what's being used to actually match you with like-minded singles.
One thing to note if you don't fall into the cis-hetero dating pool: While most of the apps reviewed here are inclusive, there are those that are friendlier to the LGBTQ community than others. For example, OkCupid goes beyond forcing users to choose between being a male or female, including options like Hijra, genderfluid, and two-spirit. If you're a man seeking a man or a woman seeking a woman, you'll want to steer clear of eHarmony: It doesn't even give you the option of a same-sex match.
Time to Connect
Once you pick that perfect selfie and write paragraphs to sell all your best attributes to your future mate, it's time to start browsing. This is where the big differences between these apps are apparent. For instance, Tinder, with its famous hot-or-not swiping interface, makes it quick and easy to find your next date. Bumble, on the other hand, puts all the power in the woman's hands; men can't even contact a woman unless she's expressed interest first. Others, like OkCupid, have robust profiles that let you dive deep into a user's personality (or at least the one he or she has decided to present to you), before you decide to go on the pursuit.
Now that you've perused the dating pool and have your eyes on that special someone, it's time to bite the bullet and actually reach out to him or her. Each app offers different ways of showing your interest, but in most instances, this is when you have to open your wallet. Match will let you Wink at a fellow member for free, and Plenty of Fish doesn't charge for messaging, but in almost all other instances you're going to get charged for the reach-out. If you're not ready to express your feelings in words, Bumble lets you send Bumble Coins to prospective matches, for $2 a pop. Zoosk offers the slightly creepy option of giving Coins to other users to express your interest (for an additional fee, of course).
Staying in Touch
As this is 2019, all of these services, even the decades-old Match, offer both iPhone apps and Android Apps, but still have desktop counterparts for when you're at work and want to take a break from your spreadsheet to set up a weekend tryst. (Bumble is the one exception here.) Just be aware that the functionality can vary substantially between the app and desktop interfaces. For example, there's no swiping on Tinder's browser version.
Once you've installed these apps and signed up for the services, get ready for a barrage of notifications and email. Some, like daily match suggestions, are helpful, while others, like alerts that tell you every new "like" you get, can just be annoying. The good thing is you can easily tweak these alerts by drilling down into the settings menus in each of the apps.

Best Dating Apps Featured in This Roundup:

The OG of the dating world, Match has been around since the '90s. It not only set the standard for dating apps, but also gives the most reasons to keep coming back. It's a friendly ecosystem where profiles reward extra effort, but photos aren't forgotten about. Searches are quick and easily tailored and you get daily matches that seem like more than just a reason to get you to spend money. Should you decide to open your wallet, it offers enough extra perks to feel like you've spent your money well.
Free basic plan; premium plans start at $19.99 per month
If Match is an inclusive, welcoming cocktail party full of people from all corners of the earth, then Tinder is the loud, crazy nightclub down the street that's primarily for 20- to 30-somethings looking for a bit of quick fun. Sure, older folks can hang out there too, but that's not who (or what) it's built for. The swipe left/swipe right function on profiles is intuitive and immediate; there's a reason basically everyone else adopted it. Tinder knows you're only here to make a quick snap judgment on photos, so scanning users and flicking them into the discard or keep pile is easy and addictive.
Bumble is a happy bubble of dating zen. Built to be safe and respectful of everyone, the app feels far more up to date than its competition, with modern language. For example, it asks you how you identify instead of just making you check a "male" or "female" box. It also puts all the power in the woman's hands—a man can't contact a woman unless she has shown interest in him first. Not looking for love? Bumble also offers a way to find new friends, and even a mini-LinkedIn-like section for professional connections.
Free basic plan; premium plans start at $9.95 per month
OkCupid is willing to work to find you a mate. Throughout the signup process, it gathers enough information on you to make informed decisions before recommending potential dates. It's a good happy medium between eHarmony, which makes you answer a litany of questions before signing up, and Zoosk, where you can browse after entering the most barebones of data. Better yet, OkCupid lets you do a lot for free, including messaging other members.
eHarmony wants to find you more than just a one-night stand or a cool-for-the-summer situation. That said, you're going to have to work for it. To join, you have to fill out an extensive survey, and you can't see photos of your potential matches unless you pay to subscribe. If you're out to spend more time finding your mate, eHarmony is a good (if more costly) option. That is, as long as you're not looking for a same-sex mate: That's not an option here.
Plenty of Fish (POF)
Are you tired of finding what looks like that special someone, then having to pay to send him or her a message? Not only does POF let you send notes for free, but it offers helpful tools to make messaging easier and faster. This includes the Spark function, which prompts you to talk about parts of other users' profiles that you find interesting. That said, the interface feels plain and clunky, and serves up ads more often than other services.
Let's start with the good: Zoosk has a helpful, easy-to-use search tool that quickly gets you access to potential matches. Now, the bad: It has a weird name, a bare-bones interface, serves up too many ads, and asks for your money too often. It also lets you start cruising for matches with a very surface-level profile.

In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken. Book 3 in The Darkest Minds Series.
Review: Do you ever want to read a book that is fiction, with a lot of drama? Well, with the book, In The Afterlight, The Darkest Minds Series Book 3 by Alexandra Bracken, you will be able to read a fiction book, with a lot of drama. Make sure you read the first two books though, because this book will be very confusing without the knowledge of the other books.
This book is about a government attack on Los Angeles, with a lot of kids who travel north to regroup. Some kids are orphaned because of this attack, others are scarred for life, and most of them lost their parents and are relying on other kids to help them. There is a girl who is named Ruby, and the book is in her view. She is with a group called Children's League, and, when Children's League disbands, forms a group with an unlikely allegiance with Liam's brother, Cole. There are still thousands of Psi kids suffering, and getting abused in government "rehabilitation camps" all over the country. Their group is doing their best to try to free all of them to get them all back to their parents. Or put in communities where other adults will take care of the orphaned children 'till they are old enough to take care of themselves. But not everyone is supportive of the plan Ruby and Cole make and craft for months, to free all of the camps.
The age group that is best for In The Afterlight, is ages 12 years and up. Because of the violence, adult scenes, and swear words in this book, this book is best for Early Junior High, up to any age. This book is not for young children. In The Afterlight is fiction, and is sometimes confusing, because they use code words for different groups they make up. This book is 535 pages long so, for faster readers, it might only take a week, but if you are a slow reader that barely reads, it could vary from two weeks, to seven or eight weeks even. The format of the front of the plastic cover on the book would probably be appealing to most Junior High students, if you like to read. Overall, the topic, and most probably the format, would appeal to many readers.
We would like to thank Disney-Hyperion Books for providing a copy of In the Afterlight for this review.
Have you read In the Afterlight? How would you rate it?

Bulgarian village goes Chinese in yoghurt craze
World > China > Bulgarian village goes Chinese in yoghurt craze
By Diana SIMEONOVA, published 26 September 2017 at 6h15 BST, updated on 26 September 2017 at 14h39 BST.
In China, Momchilovtsi conjures up images of mystery, wonder and longevity© AFP
The Bulgarian villagers hunker over their books, struggling with their Mandarin words and characters. But they are not going to China — the Middle Kingdom is coming to them. Because of yoghurt.
"It's difficult. You have to be quite tough not to give up," says pensioner Tsvetka Radkova, 66, as she puffs and pants in the classroom in the village of Momchilovtsi in southern Bulgaria.
But her daughter Veselina, 37, accompanied in the lessons by her nine-year-old little girl, trots out whole sentences in Chinese, to the cheers of her classmates.
Few Europeans, and not many Bulgarians for that matter, have heard of Momchilovtsi, perched high on the slopes of the Rhodope mountains in south-eastern Europe near the border with Greece.
But in China, Momchilovtsi conjures up images of mystery, wonder and longevity, having given its name to a kind of drinking yoghurt that is all the rage for Chinese consumers.
This summer Momchilovtsi played host to hundreds of Chinese visitors attending the village's third Chinese-Bulgarian yoghurt festival.
Signs in Chinese are everywhere, directing visitors to the village hall for lectures on yoghurt's prodigious health benefits or to yoghurt and cheese tastings.
Children run around chirping "Ni Hao" ("Hello" in Chinese) and giving out festival brochures and village maps in Bulgarian, Chinese and English.
A beauty pageant on the festival's second day picked the new "Yoghurt Queen" to adorn the Momchilovtsi packaging.
"There's two things every Chinese knows about Bulgaria — yoghurt and roses," said one visitor, Lei Lin from Shanghai.
Village of longevity
The people of Momchilovtsi have been used to the sight of Chinese visitors ever since Chinese firm Bright Dairy in 2009 took back home the bacteria found in the local yoghurt.
Crucially, the strain enabled Bright to develop for Chinese consumers drinking yoghurt — drinkable with a straw, so easier to consume than the thicker stuff — that doesn't need to be chilled.
But Bright didn't forget its roots, branding its product "Momchilovtsi", its label featuring a Bulgarian maiden in traditional dress and cultivating links with the village.
Known in Chinese by the shorter name "Mosili'an", it's the top seller in this booming sector, on sale in most supermarkets and its adverts a common sight on bus stops and on television.
Its popularity has been helped by the contaminated milk powder scandal in China in 2008 pushing many consumers towards brands seen as international or traditional and therefore safer.
With its slogan "The miraculous secret of the village where people live a long life — Momchilovtsi", sales were 6.0 billion yuan (765 million euros, $910 million) last year, a Bright spokesman told AFP.
"Momchilovtsi has been famous as 'the village of longevity' because of the high number of centenarians living here," Pan Jianjun, the spokesman, said on the sidelines of the festival.
Indeed, at least three participants in the language course — for which 40 locals have enrolled — told AFP they had family members who had lived to be over 100.
"Our research showed that one of the secrets of this longevity is the local yoghurt," Pan said.
Long and winding road
The 1,200 inhabitants of Momchilovtsi already host about 1,000 Chinese tourists annually out of a total of 5,000-6,000 visitors, mayor Siyka Surkova told AFP.
"The numbers are growing every year and this is only normal considering the huge advertising campaign for the yoghurt in China that also benefits us," she added.
In 2014, the Chinese version of reality TV show "Survivor" was set in Momchilovtsi, with seven contestants thrown in with a local family armed only with a Chinese-Bulgarian dictionary.
But with just 18,500 Chinese visitors last year, Bulgaria is seriously lagging in the Europe-wide drive to attract Chinese tourists.
Direct flights between the two countries are only but a dream, experts said.
Visitors to Momchilovtsi have to take an internal flight within Europe to Sofia or Plovdiv. And from there it's a long and winding journey of several hours up to the village — but worth it.

JBJS 100: Talar Neck Fractures, Knee Cartilage Repair
Under one name or another, The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery has published quality orthopaedic content spanning three centuries. In 1919, our publication was called the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, and the first volume of that journal was Volume 1 of what we know today as JBJS.
Thus, the 24 issues we turn out in 2018 will constitute our 100th volume. To help celebrate this milestone, throughout the year we will be spotlighting 100 of the most influential JBJS articles on OrthoBuzz, making the original full-text content openly accessible for a limited time.
Unlike the scientific rigor of Journal content, the selection of this list was not entirely scientific. About half we picked from "JBJS Classics," which were chosen previously by current and past JBJS Editors-in-Chief and Deputy Editors. We also selected JBJS articles that have been cited more than 1,000 times in other publications, according to Google Scholar search results. Finally, we considered "activity" on the Web of Science and The Journal's websites.
We hope you enjoy and benefit from reading these groundbreaking articles from JBJS, as we mark our 100th volume. Here are two more:
Fractures of the Neck of the Talus
L G Hawkins: JBJS, 1970 July; 52 (5): 991
This article, richly illustrated with radiographs, reports on >1-year results from 43 patients treated after sustaining a vertical fracture of the neck of the talus. Hawkins introduced a 3-group classification system based on the initial radiographic appearance of the fracture, and he provided an in-depth discussion of the complication of avascular necrosis.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation and Osteochondral Cylinder Transplantation in Cartilage Repair of the Knee Joint
U Horas, D Pelinkovic, G Herr, T Aigner, R Schnettler: JBJS, 2003 February; 85 (2): 185
In the 15 years since this paper appeared in JBJS, nearly 800 articles have been published that have "autologous chondrocyte implantation" (ACI) in their title. This study—replete with histologic, biopsy-specimen, and electron microscopy images—compared 2-year results among 40 patients who had received either ACI or autologous osteochondral transplants for knee cartilage defects. Both treatments decreased symptoms, but the authors concluded that "the improvement provided by the [ACI] lagged behind that provided by the osteochondral cylinder transplantation." For more current information on these cartilage-repair techniques, see the JBJS Clinical Summary on Knee Cartilage Injuries.

Q: Signing and Encrypting a SOAP message using Apache Rampart I want to encrypt a SOAP message with public key of the Server and sign the same message with the private key of the client. Ideally the keys for signing and encryption are different.
Was referring the apache Rampart examples from WSO2 team. One such sample Rampart Configuration given is:
RampartConfig rampartConfig = new RampartConfig();

        Properties merlinProp = new Properties();
        merlinProp.put("org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type", "JKS");
        merlinProp.put("org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.file","C:/Documents and Settings/abdul.mujeeb/workspace/Axis2Clients/src/certs/oasis.jks");
        merlinProp.put("org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password", "password");

        CryptoConfig  sigCryptoConfig = new CryptoConfig();
        sigCryptoConfig.setProvider("org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin");
        sigCryptoConfig.setProp(merlinProp);

        CryptoConfig  encrCryptoConfig = new CryptoConfig();
        encrCryptoConfig.setProvider("org.apache.ws.security.components.crypto.Merlin");
        encrCryptoConfig.setProp(merlinProp);

        rampartConfig.setUserCertAlias("alice");
        rampartConfig.setEncryptionUser("bob1");

        rampartConfig.setSigCryptoConfig(sigCryptoConfig);
        rampartConfig.setEncrCryptoConfig(encrCryptoConfig);

        rampartConfig.setPwCbClass("com.rolta.axis2.client.UserNameCallbackHandler");

The example no where specifies the server public key to be used to encrypt the message.
A few questions from the above example:
1) What does rampartConfig.setEncryptionUser() function stands for ? How do I encrypt the SOAP message using the public key of the server ?
2) What does rampartConfig.setUserCertAlias() function for ? Signing ? Encrypting or both ?
Thanks.

A: What you have provided is how to programmatically set the rampart config. The set methods here are equivalent to the parameters in rampart configuration. All these parameters are listed at rampart config guide.
A more useful explanation of the two properties can be found in this blog post. In short,
encryptionUser - The alias for the public key to be used for encrypting the message. The public key certificate is available in the keystore under this alias.
userCertAlias - The alias used to retrieve the password of the corresponding private key from the CallbackHandler for signing.

Giambattista Spolverini, né le  à Vérone et mort dans cette même ville le , est un poète italien.

Biographie
Né à Vérone le , il fut envoyé à Bologne, où il étudia chez les jésuites. Peu après son retour à Vérone, la mort de son frère aîné l'obligea de suspendre ses travaux littéraires pour diriger les affaires de sa famille. Il dut aussi accepter des charges publiques. Il fut successivement officier municipal (provveditore), président de la chambre du commerce (vicario della casa de' mercanti) et gouverneur (capitano) du lac de Garda. Giambattista Spolverini mourut à Vérone le .

Œuvres
Spolverini est connu par un long poème didactique italien sur la culture du riz (La Coltivazione del riso). Pour réussir dans son entreprise, il consulta les paysans eux-mêmes, qu'il questionnait sur leurs différentes pratiques. Son poème vint occuper, dans la littérature italienne, la place que les Géorgiques tiennent dans celle des Latins. Il est divisé en quatre livres, remplis de descriptions et d'épisodes qui jettent une lumière très-vive sur toutes les parties du tableau. On admire surtout le récit du débordement de l'Adige dans le premier livre, le tableau de la vie champêtre dans le troisième et les aventures de la fille d'Inachos dans le quatrième : ce dernier, qui est une élégante imitation de la fable d'Aristée, forme un cadre heureux pour orner la narration du transport du riz de la Perse en Égypte et de l'Égypte en Europe. La Coltivazione del riso, composée d'environ cinq mille vers blancs, avait coûté vingt années de travail au poète. La Coltivazione del riso parut pour la première fois à Vérone, 1758. in-4°, fig. ; réimprimé avec des variantes, ibid., 1763. in-4°. L'édition la plus estimée est celle de Padoue, 1810, in-8°, accompagnée des notes de l'abbé Ilario Casarotti et de l'éloge de Spolverini, par le chevalier Ippolito Pindemonte.

on James Frey
In case you've missed it (or live in England - I assume this is only big news in the US), ABC news nicely summarise the controversy:
Oprah Winfrey has changed her mind about James Frey and his memoir, A Million Little Pieces. Shortly after The Smoking Gun investigated Frey's memoir and found it was full of "a million little lies", Oprah - who had hawked the memoir through her book club - told Larry King "that the underlying message of redemption in James Frey's memoir still resonates with me" and that she would still recommend the book.
But now Oprah has had Frey back on her own show, and told him: "I really feel duped, but more importantly, I feel that you betrayed millions of readers."
It's reminded me of the following:
It reads: QUARTET - SKOKIE, ILLINOIS
Kujan's eyes flash all' over the bulletin board. He finds a
picture of Rabin in the far corner. He stands beside a scale
in fishing gear. He proudly holds a hand out to his freshly
caught marlin. His eyes skim quickly over and stop on an
eight and a half by eleven inch fax sheet of what must be a
THREE HUNDRED POUND BLACK MAN. Kujan glazes over his name, it
is irrelevant. His aliases stand out.
Slavin, BRICKS, Shank, REDFOOT, Thee, Rooster...
KUJAN'S EYES WIDEN with sudden realization. He runs for the
door.

Nomatter how rich you are, if you are not healthy enjoying the life with all the money you have is impossible. We have heard of many rich and affluent people losing their life battle to diseases such as cancer and HIV aids. Even though not as popular as those, non-communicable diseases like heart diseases and diabetes can be equally serious and life threatening.
One thing you can easily do is to manage what you eat. It is imperative that you minimize if not reduce taking in food with too much sugar, oil and fat and carbohydrates. Fast foods, even though obtainable at a touch of your fingertip, must be avoided at any cost. It is not hard to make some home-made snacks when you are hungry; there is no need to go all the way to prepare a full meal all the time. Also if you scour the internet there are many ways to make vegetable eat-friendly. So many interesting ways to cut, cook and prepare it raw to make it attractive to especially kids and even adults are there.
People are exhausted every day after work. They then mistake it for working the body hard and do not do any exercises. That is not the required "workout" for your body; if you sit all day, spend at least a half an hour to walk around. If you take a train, walk to the next station than taking the train at the station nearest to your office. Take stairs rather than using the elevator. Take a walk, in fact, several walks a day. If the grocers are close enough, do not take the car but take a stroll there. Join a Wollongong fitness club and share ideas, experiences and listen to suggestions from others on how to be fit and healthy.
How to go about achieving this?
If you are to join a gym or a certain class like yoga, pilates etc. you have to keep going there for a considerable time to have a difference made in your body. Usually what happens is people join these classes but after some time get either lazy, busy or both, and miss these classes. Since it is not school where your parents or guardians are pushing you to go, and someone calls from the school to see why you didn't turn up, it is easy to forget about that certain commitment. So if you can do something which willrewardyou in many ways and not let you forget about it, that is great. Growing your own vegetables is such an activity. You can eat clean and healthy stuff, cheaper and working out in the garden can provide the required body exertion you need. Only a healthy physique will give you the total confidence and happiness. So make sure you follow the right steps to be fit in life.


Set your imagination free and enjoy all the magic that Disney has to offer at Epcot, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. The city that Walt Disney had in his mind to be the model community which would have been home to twenty thousand residents and a test bed for city planning as well as organization. The plan was to build it in the shape of a circle with businesses and commercial areas at its center with community buildings, schools, and recreational complexes around it while residential neighborhoods would line the perimeter. His idea then carried over to Disney Imagineers to create Epcot the Theme Park. Some Imagineers wanted it to represent the cutting edge of technology, while others wanted it to showcase international cultures and customs. At one point, a model of the futuristic park was pushed together against a model of a World's Fair international theme, and the two were combined.
As part of the opening-day ceremony, performers were invited and they performed "We've Just Begun to Dream". The Sherman Brothers also wrote a song especially for the occasion entitled "The World Showcase March". During the finale, doves and balloons were released. Performing groups representing countries from all over the world performed in the World Showcase. Water was gathered from major rivers across the globe and emptied into the park's fountain of nations ceremonial containers to mark the opening and located at the front of the park is a plaque bearing Walker's opening-day dedication.
It was announced at the Destination D fan event in November 2016 that Epcot would get a major transformation that would help transition the park into being "more Disney, timeless, relevant, family-friendly" while keeping the original vision alive. Then in July at the D23 Expo 2017 in Anaheim, The Walt Disney Company announced that Epcot would undergo a multi-year, redesign and expansion plan that would introduce Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille attractions to Future World and World Showcase, as well as maintaining the original vision and spirit for the park.
During the 35th Anniversary Celebration at Epcot this year you will be able to enjoy the 22nd Annual International Food & Wine Festival that will take place from August 31st – November 13th 2017. There will be 35 unique food and wine marketplaces celebrating the 35 years of Epcot on Sunday October 1st 2017.
Also to celebrate the "Begin to Dream" Anniversary new retro merchandise has been introduced.
We are all really excited to celebrate this special anniversary of one of our favorite Disney parks, so much so that one of our close friends and very gifted piano players Gijs Van Winkelhof put together a beautiful Epcot Piano Medley to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of this incredible park. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and please be sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel and see more of the other Disney melody's and more that he has on his channel. You can also join his Facebook group where he keeps in touch with all his fans and followers.

Starting solids is an exciting milestone in your baby's life, but it can also be confusing, especially when you're overloaded with conflicting information on how and when to do it.
Should I introduce iron-fortified rice cereal first, OR red meat like my friend did?
Are purees best, or are should I do "baby-led weaning" (soft finger foods) instead?
Should I start solids at four months, or six months?
What about nuts and eggs? Don't I have to wait a year to introduce those because they're allergenic?
I get it – it's confusing.
Luckily, the Canadian infant feeding guidelines have been updated recently, with recommendations that support the newest and best research that we have on infant feeding to date. Because you're a busy parent and might not have the time to read through the entire set of guidelines, I've highlighted the basics for you, according to the new Canadian Guidelines.
It is recommended that real food be introduced around six months of age, as breastmilk (and/or formula) can provide 100% of baby's nutrition up to that point. The WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that solid foods provide about one fifth of a baby's energy needs from six to eight months and just under half of baby's energy needs from nine to 12 months. Breastmilk and/or formula will continue to provide the bulk of your baby's nutritional needs until one year.
He can hold his head up on his own: Your baby should be able to sit in a high chair, feeding seat, or infant seat with good head control and be able to hold himself up.
He opens his mouth when food comes his way: Babies may be ready if they watch you eating, reach for your food, and seem eager to eat.
He can maneuver food from a spoon to the back of his throat: If you offer a spoonful, and he pushes it out of his mouth and it dribbles onto his chin (the tongue thrust reflex), he may not be ready yet. You could try diluting it the first few times, then gradually thicken the texture, or you may also want to wait a week or two and try again.
He's big enough: If your baby has at least doubled his birth weight and weighs at least 13 pounds , he may be ready to start solids.
A baby's ability to manage and safely swallow solid foods is not developed before about six months (however, some babies are ready in their fourth and fifth month). This is partly due to the fact that her gag reflex hasn't fully developed, putting her at an increase risk of choking. Her digestive tract has also not developed to the point of being able to digest the nutrients in real food either. On the other hand, starting later than six months (unless advised by baby's pediatrician) might make the transition to real food more challenging and create picky eating issues. It also puts a breastfed infant at risk for iron-deficiency anemia. This is why baby's first solid foods should be iron-rich.
Are purees still the way to go?
By six months, most babies are ready for a variety of food textures, ranging from thin purees to soft finger foods. It's really up to the parent and their level of comfort. Some babies prefer to be spoon-fed purees at the start, while some prefer to dig into soft finger foods right at the get-go. I preferred to do a combo, myself.
Because older babies quickly develop up and down jaw movements enabling them to "munch" (even without teeth), it's not necessary to start with thin purees first (think infant cereal thinned out with breastmilk), like previously thought. In fact, there may be many benefits to starting with lumpier textures. Offering soft finger foods will encourage self-feeding (reaching out, grabbing and munching on food), which helps with oral motor development, and allows babies to be in full control of how much and at what pace they eat, which teaches them how to self-regulate their food intake.
You can experiment with various textures (lumpy, and tender-cooked and finely minced, pureed, mashed or ground) to see what your baby prefers best and even feed her a variety of textures daily. By nine months, your baby should be eating a variety of foods and textures and ideally participating in family meals! Family foods may need to be modified in texture for your baby (they need to be soft enough) and free of added seasonings such as salt.
Between eight and 12 months of age, babies develop a lateral movements of the tongue, enabling them to eat foods that are more solid and need chewing.
Safe finger foods include: pieces of soft-cooked vegetables and fruits; soft, ripe fruit such as banana; finely minced, ground or mashed cooked meat, deboned fish, and poultry; grated cheese; and whole grain toast strips with a thin layer of butter or nut butter.
Hard, small, round foods, as well as smooth and sticky solid foods can block your baby's airway. It's recommended that foods such as hard candies, cough drops, gum, whole grapes, popcorn, marshmallows, nuts, fish with bones, hotdogs and sausages aren't served to children under the age of four years. Make sure that hard vegetables such as carrots are grated or steamed, pits are removed from fruits, grapes are cut in half, nut butters are thinly spread, and stringy foods such as pineapple or celery are finely chopped.
Regardless of which texture you start with, it's important to let your baby lead. This means, either allowing her to self-feed and eat how much she wants (without coaxing her to eat more or taking food away when she's not done), or paying close attention to her cues while spoon-feeding.Your baby will let you know when she's done eating by swatting at the spoon, turning her head away, zipping her lips tightly, spitting food out, throwing food, whining or crying. Don't make her eat more than she wants. Kids will eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. Honoring those instincts may help them avoid overeating now and down the road.
Iron-rich foods should be introduced right from the get-go, as your baby's iron needs increase around this time. Babies between six and 12 months of age should be offered iron-rich foods at least twice a day. Soft and tender pieces of meat or finely minced, ground or mashed cooked meat, de-boned fish, poultry, well-cooked whole egg, beans, and lentils are great first foods. Traditionally, iron-fortified single-grain cereal thinned out with breastmilk or formula was the gold-standard first-food for baby. Although it's still a fine option, it is no longer the only starter-food option.
Vegetables and fruits can follow, in no particular order, as well as whole grain foods, natural nut and seed butters and pasteurized dairy products (with the exception of fluid cow's milk). Between nine and 12 months, it's safe to introduce homogenized cow's milk (with a maximum of 750 mL per day).
What about introducing common food allergens?
We now know that delaying the introduction of common allergens such as eggs, nut butters and fish, isn't necessary and that it is safe to introduce them as early as six months, even for babies at a high risk of developing a food allergy. In fact, early exposure to common allergens may even prevent allergies from developing!
How often should I be feeding my baby?
The first weeks and months of solid foods are supposed to be fun–it's an experimental period where your baby is introduced to a wide variety of foods, flavours and textures so that he accepts them readily later on. Touching, licking, mushing, playing with, and even spitting foods out is all part of the process of learning to like new foods—it's completely normal. Try not to get discouraged if your baby doesn't eat like a champ right at the beginning. Be patient and keep introducing foods in a non-pressured way–he will learn to eat well in his own time and at his own pace. Happy feeding!

This is so helpful! I love the infographic!
Great tips! My *babies* are 14 and 15 now, so this seems like such a long time ago 🙂 I can tell you that they both loved avocado as one of their first foods, and still love it today!!
What a great post Sarah! Very informative. Love that infographic that sums everything up too!
Such an informative article! Passing along to my new mommy friends!
This is awesome! Super comprehensive and informative. Thanks Sarah!
this is great info for me since I don't work with kids and I don't have any kids of my own. But, folks do ask me questions about stuff like this! thanks for the post!
My pleasure! Glad it's helpful!
This is such great information, Sarah! I especially love the infographic you created… and your model is such a cutie!
Wow! So much info! I can't wait to share!!

Volleyball swept by Cornell and Columbia in first home weekend of Ivy play
Quakers had a two set lead over Cornell before falling 3-2

When it rains, it pours.
This weekend, Penn volleyball suffered a pair of losses at the hands of Ivy League rivals Cornell and Columbia. These losses leave the Red and Blue in the midst of a four-game losing streak and with an 0-3 record in Ivy League play.
The Quakers (7-5, 0-3 Ivy) began the weekend on Friday night at the Palestra, where they faced off against the visiting Big Red (10-2, 3-0). Despite taking the first two sets in dominant fashion, the Red and Blue could not carry their momentum into the third set, which Cornell ultimately won. The Big Red, propelled by their third set victory, controlled the next two sets as they defeated the Quakers at home in five sets.
After Friday's heartbreaking loss, the Quakers chose to emphasize mental toughness as they moved forward.
After last spring's mediation efforts, Penn volleyball says its focus is on the future
Volleyball runs in the family for defensive specialist Carmina Raquel
"Resiliency and grit specifically [are] a big thing for us," sophomore libero Carmina Raquel said. "[We wanted to] be strong the whole set through and kind of just [emphasize] bouncing back, realizing it goes either way and each point is one point."
Saturday offered the Red and Blue their chance to bounce back at home against the visiting Lions (8-5, 1-2).
The Quakers were energized from the start, and players were clearly determined to put the previous night's defeat behind them. However, despite the energy the Quakers carried into the match, it was Columbia that controlled both of the first two sets. The Lions' success was fueled by a strong performance by senior middle hitter Chichi Ikwuazom, who led the match with 20 kills.

Staying true to their theme of resiliency, the Red and Blue refused to give up. Led by strong performances by junior outside hitter Parker Jones (13 kills), who is also a Daily Pennsylvanian staffer, and Raquel (10 digs), the Quakers began the third set with a 9-3 run. Following a Columbia timeout, the Lions gained momentum and evened the score. However, after Friday night, the Quakers were determined to close out the set.
"This weekend we wanted to focus on closing out our games [and sets] and being strong the whole set through," Raquel said.
Raquel and the rest of the Red and Blue stayed true to this goal as they hung on to win the third set and keep the match going.
The Quakers kept the momentum on their side as they traded point for point with Columbia for the entirety of the fourth set. However, the Lions' strong offensive play, paired with Penn's five service errors and four attack errors, allowed Columbia to win the fourth set and secure the match.
In spite of this weekend's tough losses, the Red and Blue are remaining focused on the long season ahead.
"We are going to use this past weekend to light a fire under us and really use that to move forward," sophomore opposite hitter Margaret Planek said. "We are playing for each other during practice, and hopefully we can use that and our confidence in each other to fuel us [moving forward]."

Although an 0-3 start to Ivy League play may discourage some teams, this year's Penn team is choosing to look forward.
"We see every team twice, so no matter what happens last game we are going to go into the gym every time like it's a new game," Planek said.
The Red and Blue will look to put their rough start to Ivy play behind them as they host Ivy League rivals Brown (9-4, 1-2) and Yale (7-5, 3-0) next weekend.

Dr Abdul-Gafaru Abdulai
by Kate Pruce
Ghana, natural resources, spatial inequality
Abdul-Gafaru is a lecturer at the Department of Public Administration, University of Ghana Business School. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. Within ESID he has produced a conceptual and methodological framework for comparative research into the politics of spatial inequality, contributing to ESID's primary research within Programme Four – 'The politics of recognition'.
Abdul-Gafaru's research interests are the politics of development (as it relates in particular to the spatial dimensions of inequality, social protection and poverty reduction); extractive sector governance (specifically mining and oil) and its impact on social and economic development outcomes; democratisation, human rights and elections in Africa. For ESID, Abdul-Gafaru is leading a country study around the politics of Ghana's mining industry as part of a wider comparative research project on natural resource governance in Ghana. He is also undertaking research on the roles of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, Civil Society and Parliament in oil sector governance in Ghana.

Here is a simple strategy that can help you deal with spam in Outlook 2003. Using this method you can automatically direct any spam emails you recieve to one folder (i.e Junk or Deleted). It uses a very simple mechanism, in Outlook 2003 it is possible to move email to a folder if it is not sent from someone who's email address is already in one of your contacts folders, you can do this in Tools > Rules and Alerts.
That is not the end of the story, if your anything like me then you probably do quite a bit of emailing and you would find it pretty inconvienent to have to create a contact for everyone you get email from. Well you don't have to, Mapilab have created an Outlook 2003 add-in that will do this for you. It is not free but it is only US$15 and you can get it here. The add-in once installed can be used to process all the emails in a folder that you have already received to create a contact for the sender if one does not exist already. It can then be configured to create a contact (if one doesn't already exist) everytime you reply to an email. I have created an 'Unsorted Contacts' folder where these are put. The only time you really have to delve into your junk mail folder is if you signup to a site that needs to email you to register, then you simply find the message, hit reply and a contact will automatically be created for that address so future emails will get through.
So far this method has worked well for me, it is quite a cheap option and whilst it's not perfect it makes my life a lot easier.


Ridesharing services expand technology to food and service deliveries.
In cities across the world, "Uber" has become as popular a brand name as "Kleenex" or "Thermos." But just like there are many brands of tissues and drink containers, there are a number of different app-based ridesharing services available. One of them is trying to distinguish itself by allowing users to hail more than a cab.
GetTaxi, an Israeli company that operates in New York, London and a number of Israeli and Russian cities, will expand its business to food and service deliveries, according to TechCrunch. The company will drop "Taxi" from its name and operate as Gett, a name familiar to those who use the service in New York.
Gett customers will be able to order food for delivery like pizza and sushi, or order groceries, flowers, a massage. The mission is to deliver within 10 minutes. Eventually, Gett may even have a doctor or plumber on call for emergencies.
No news, yet, on what services Gett will roll out first and where.
It's an idea that's intriguing, to say the least. Residents who don't drive can use the same app to order dinner or summon a doctor. Very convenient. But what if Gett's preferred pizza source is from a supermarket freezer? How much DiGiorno can one person eat?
Uber has also started a food delivery service called Uber Eats, piloting in New York, Chicago, Barcelona and Los Angeles. "From tap to table in minutes," says its web page; using the same payment system as its parent app and Uber drivers, food can be delivered in the same timeframe as ordering a ride.
If anyone can set up this business and compete with mobile-app delivery companies like Seamless, it's a company like Gett or Uber, which already has the infrastructure and customer base in place to ramp up quickly.

Death To The NCAA
FBI's NCAA Investigation Bags Sleazy Financial Adviser For Bribing Assistant Coaches For Access To Players' Future Wealth
Filed to: death to the ncaaFiled to: death to the ncaa
Photo: Ronald Martinez (Getty)
Not everything dredged up in the big FBI investigation of recruiting violations in college basketball is worth the attention of federal law enforcement. An apparel company funneling actual money to elite players so they'll play for elite basketball programs, for example, is a function of a blackmarket created by the NCAA's vastly more morally corrupt forced amateurism. On that one, at least, the FBI can more-or-less go fuck itself.
But this one is worth following: Munish Sood, a financial adviser and the CEO and chief investment officer of Princeton Advisory Group, reportedly pled guilty last week to felony bribery and fraud charges in U.S. District Court in New York. Sood's scam wasn't paying the athletes who make the whole grotesque sports business churn; instead he was reportedly bribing coaches to steer athletes his way for financial advisement when they turned pro:
Sood admitted to working with others in "paying bribes to the NCAA men's college basketball coaches, in exchange for which these coaches agreed to and did exercise their influence as coaches for their respective universities to persuade and pressure student-athletes to retain the services of Sood, among others," according to the plea agreement.
According to a Louisville Courier-Journal report, Sood worked with agent Christian Dawkins to bribe assistant coaches at South Carolina, Arizona, and USC, via "telephone and email communications, and wire transfers of funds." The three assistant coaches—Lamont Evans, Emanuel "Book" Richardson, and Tony Bland—were reportedly arrested and charged with "conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud and solicitation of bribes." All three have been fired by their most recent programs, as a result of these indictments.
ESPN says Sood is expected to testify against other defendants in the FBI's sprawling and interconnected corruption cases. Probably it would be better if the feds could work out plea deals with people who put money in players' hands in exchange for testimony against exactly the kind of sleazy shitbag who pays assistant coaches to pressure athletes into giving an unscrupulous third party access to their future earnings, but the big sexy catch for the FBI would obviously be someone more widely known than a shady financial adviser. At any rate, this is the world athletic prospects are expected to navigate as fucking teenagers, and is a pretty good example of why the NCAA needs to die in a cleansing fire.
