True Or False, In The First 5 Years Of A Child's Development, The Brain Develops Faster Than At Any Other Age
A toddler's brain is a miraculous thing. In this period of a child's life, their minds learning so much new information and new tools. It's totally up to the parents in terms of how much the toddler actually learns, but the brain is automatically developing at a breakneck speed. That's why it's so important for parents to take this opportunity to help their kids at this important stage in their lives. But is it true that at this stage, the brain develops faster than any other time?
When Should You Expect Your Child To Be Walking?
3-5 months 7-9 Months 3-4 years 8-18 Months
When your child take their first steps, it can feel like a major event and a source of pride. The wait until that magical moment can feel like it takes forever. Parents might actually get impatient about this, and worry about why their child isn't walking. In order to feel most assured about their child's development, it's important to know what stage your child should be walking. Then you'll know if something is wrong. But when should you expect to see your toddler walk?
What Is The Best Way To Encourage Your Child To Develop The Use Of Language?
Sign Language Play Talk Radio Speak Frequently And Naturally To Them Flash Cards
Another important moment in your toddler's development is spoken language. Language is one of the many things that separates us from most animals, and if you think about it the spoken word is really an amazing and magical thing. The moment when your child speaks their first word is the moment when they start to really connect with other people on an intellectual level. But how can you make this day come sooner? What can you do to encourage your child?
True Or False, For The First Three Years, Children Understand A Lot More Than They Can Say
Some people make the mistake of underestimating toddlers' intelligence, although they are often much more intelligent than they might appear at first glance. Toddlers probably understand a lot more than you might think. But when it comes to language, speaking to them can sometimes feel like an exercise in futility. What's the point in talking to a baby that appears to understand nothing that you say? But is that even true? Is it true that for the first three years, babies understand more than they can say?
It's Important To Encourage Your Child To Talk In Past And…
Unconditional Verbs Future Tenses Bygone Eras Future Times
After your toddler says their first word, a whole new world opens up to them. They will begin to speak more and more frequently, and their vocabulary will grow exponentially. But the parent can't just be merely encouraging at this point. The parent must also push their toddlers to speak more efficiently and use a wider range of words. They will progress at a much faster rate as a result. But can you finish this instructional phrase in raising toddlers?
True Or False, "Babbling" Is Harmful To Language Development And Should Be Stopped
Babbling is one of the most hilarious things a baby can do. These little tykes love to say all kinds of nonsensical words to their delight. Inside the mind of toddlers, the word they're saying totally make sense. It's almost as if they're talking in their own special language. Babbling is often laughed at by people and considered to be a cute thing toddlers do. But is it actually beneficial? Is it true that babbling is harmful to babys' development and should be stopped?
When Can You Expect The First Words To Appear?
7-8 Months No Later Than 4 Years 3-4 Months 12-18 Months
We all know that when a baby says their first word, it's a major event. This is a time that you'll remember for the rest of your days as a parent. The child won't even remember saying their first word, but it's a major moment in the development of their minds. Many parents start freaking out about this, though. Some think that their child should be talking much earlier than they actually should. But when should you expect the first words?
Language Delay May Be An Indicator Of What Disorder?
Cancer Celiac Disease Autism Spectrum Disorder Blindness
But what happens if your baby is not speaking even after 12-18 months? This is an indicator of a possible language delay. This is especially true if your toddler is still not talking after 18 months, or even into 2 years. Obviously, there is something wrong if this happens, and you should probably take your toddler to be examined by a qualified doctor. Language delay might also be an indicator of a particular disorder. But which actual disorder is that?
True Or False, By Two Years Of Age, A Child Should Be Able To Use About 50 Different Words
It's stunning how quickly toddlers progress, and you'll hardly be able to catch your breath before they're using long sentences and making you feel like they're going to be a future child prodigy. But rest assured, most children should be rapidly expanding their vocabulary at this point in their lives. If you're child is using a certain amount of different words regularly, you know that they're progressing at the right rate. But how many different words should they be using by the age of two?
Which Gender Is More Likely To Experience Language Delay?
We know by now that language delay is a serious issue and can be an indicator of worrying disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, among other conditions. But in terms of language delay, it seems that both genders were not created equal. You see, one gender is actually a lot more likely to experience language delay, and this should be something that you keep in mind as you are raising your toddler. But which gender is more likely to experience language delay?
True Or False, A Child Is Usually Ready For Toilet Training When They Can Walk And Sit For Short Periods Of Time
Toilet training is another huge step that you'll be embarking upon as a parent. Most parents view this with a kind of mixture between excitement and apprehension. After all, a toilet trained toddler means that you'll no longer have to change their diapers. Toilet training means that they'll learn to be more independent, which will make your job much easier. But with toilet training comes a major challenge for you as a parent. Is it true that toddlers are ready for toilet training when they can sit and walk for long periods?
Other Than A Toilet, What Can You Use For Toilet Training?
Newspaper A Plastic Bag An Outhouse A Potty
As the name implies, toilet training involves primarily your toilet (duh). But when you're training your child to use the toilet, sometimes certain substitutes can be used to supplement this difficult educational process. It doesn't always have to be a lesson that involves your toilet. Using only a toilet might be something that you only use in the lessons sometimes, as the beginning of these lessons can get quite messy. But what other than a toilet can you use for toilet training?
Why Is Making Sure Your Child Eats Fiber Important To Potty Training?
It's Proven To Aid In Education Fiber Prevents Constipation It Makes Them Pass Stool More Often It Prevents Blood Clots
Fiber is a really important thing for all people of all ages, and it's proven to be a very healthy choice that prevents all kinds of ailments, including cancer. But if you know anything about raising a toddler, you know that it's especially important for the diets of small children. And it's even MORE essential of a dietary factor when you're potty training your child. But why could this be? What is so important about fiber when it comes to potty training?
When Wiping Your Child's Bottom, Which Direction Should You Go?
Circular Motions Back To Front Front To Back Sideways
Before your child is potty trained, however, parents must get through the rather difficult stage of putting diapers on their toddlers and small children. And of course, it's not just about putting diapers ON toddlers, it's also about taking them off... Again, and again and again. Pretty soon you'll be a natural at this, but there are some simple steps that you must follow when changing diapers. For instance, you must always wipe your child's bottom in one direction. But which direction is this?
After How Many Years Should All The Baby Teeth Arrive?
3 6 7 Months 2
Another exciting moment in the life and development of your child is the arrival of baby teeth. Before their teeth arrive, they simply have a mouth full of gums, just like an old man or woman. But pretty soon they start growing teeth, and that's when you know that your toddler is taking some of the first steps away from being an infant, and towards being a child. This means that they will be able to eat harder foods. But when can you expect this?
When Do Adult Teeth Start Replacing Baby Teeth?
At Age 6 To 20 Age 3 to 5 Age 17-31 Age 1-21
While the arrival of baby teeth can be an interesting and exciting development in your toddler, what's even more of a landmark is the arrival of adult teeth. You'll hardly get used to your toddler having their baby teeth before they start falling out seemingly right after they appear. This happens to make way for the adult teeth that will be with them (hopefully) for the rest of their lives. This is an exciting development, but when can you expect this to happen?
True Or False, You Should Use Fluoride Toothpaste As Soon As The Baby Teeth Arrive
Fluoride is something many of us take for granted in our day to day lives. It's in almost all of the toothpaste that is commercially available, and it's also in the water supply of many areas, specifically in the US. This chemical has long been touted as a beneficial chemical that keeps our teeth clean and free from cavities. When you go to the dentist, you are often given fluoride treatment. But should you use fluoride toothpaste on your baby as soon as the baby teeth arrive?
True Or False, Toddlers Grow Faster Than Babies, So They Need More Food
For some parents, one of the hardest things about raising a toddler is getting them to eat. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you coax them into taking a bite, they never seem to want to eat much. But for other parents, they have the opposite problem, and their toddler seems obsessed with eating as much food as possible. Toddlers need to eat just like everyone else. But is it true they need more food that babies because they're growing faster?
When Weaning Your Child Off Breastfeeding, Should You Stop Feeding At Night Or During The Day First?
At Night During The Day
Breastfeeding is an integral part of raising a child. There are so many nutrients that are essential to a child's development, and breast milk is going to help them with things like strength and even IQ. But there comes a time when every child must stop breastfeeding. This can be a hard time for both parents and toddlers, as there is an immense bond formed between mothers and toddlers. But when weaning, should you stop feeding at night or during the day?
How Much TV Should A Child Under 18 Months Watch Per Day?
None 1 Hour A Day The More The Better A Maximum Of 2.5 Hours Per Week
Television is going to be a major influence on your child in most situations, at least if you don't prevent your child from ever watching television. And in most cases, this never happens. Television can have a major effect on your child's upbringing and self-identity - perhaps more than we would like to admit ourselves. Small children watching television is a slightly controversial subject. People are split about how much TV their child should be watching. But how much TV should a child under 18 be watching?
What Are The Best Types Of Apps/Games A Child Can Play?
None Philosophical Apps Those That Encourage Creativity History Apps
We are living in a rapidly advancing world, technologically speaking. Things that we never had access to as kids are going to be second nature to toddlers these days. Things like iPads, smartphones, and video games are going to be as familiar to kids these days as a pen and paper. Maybe even more so. But how should we govern the use of these devices when it comes to our children? What are the best types of apps/games that a child can play?
What Types Of TV Shows Should You Avoid Showing Your Child?
Those With Violence Those That Depict Traditional Gender Roles Those That Depict Children That Are Too Attractive Those That Depict The Opposite Sex
Although kids under 18 months should not be watching ANY television whatsoever, chances are you'll let your children watch some television shows when they reach a certain age. This might be a slightly controversial topic, but most parents agree that television is a big part of our culture, and in certain cases it can be beneficial and education to our young ones. However, not all TV shows are created equal. Which TV shows should you avoid showing your young one?
When Teaching A Child To Read, You Should…
Encourage Them To Read As Loud As Possible Punish Them When They Make Mistakes Let Them Finish Your Sentences Let Them Make Mistakes Without Correcting Them
Teaching a child to read can be one of the most rewarding experiences that you can have with your toddler. It won't just feel good to you, either. If you do this right, your toddler will develop a love for reading that will provide them with endless joy for their rest of their lives. And more importantly, it will give them access to vast swathes of knowledge that will give them an advantage in life. But can you finish this sentence?
What's A Fun Way To Aid In Your Child's Literacy?
Sing Fun Songs Make Them Spell Our Their Food Before They Can Eat It Hypnosis If They Make Mistakes, Let Them Spin A Wheel With Various Punishments On It
Literacy is a very important skill when it comes to toddlers, and it might just be the most important thing you teach your kids as they get older. This is the thing that's going to make their lives easier and more successful as they get older, and it's something that you should invest a lot of time into. There are many different methods to aid in your child's developing literacy. But what's one way you can make it fun for them?
What Types Of Books Are Best For Learning To Read?
Those That Rhyme Those That Talk About The Existential Crisis Those That Use Predominantly The Color Red Those That Involve Knights And Castles
There will come a time when your child starts to get more and more excited about reading, and this can be very exciting. Soon you'll find yourself building up a whole library of books specifically for reading with your children. These books are of a very specific genre, and they're designed for kids and their learning styles. Many of these books have very particular features that children tend to enjoy. But what types of books are best for learning to read?
What Is The Most Common Cause Of Death For Children Under 5?
Drowning Asphyxiation Electrocution Murder
Deaths in toddlers are rare but the do happen. It can be the most crushing blow a person can ever face in their lives, so most parents do everything they can to make sure it doesn't happen to them. There are a wide variety of things you can do to make sure that your toddler doesn't die a premature death, but perhaps the best thing you can do is educate yourself about the statistics. What is the most common cause of death for children under 5?
True Or False, Toddlers Can Drown Even In Extremely Shallow Water
By now, we've established that drowning is actually the number one cause of death for children under the age of five. Now that you know this, you can start planning ways to mitigate this risk. There are all kinds of things you can do to help. Always make sure that you don't leave any water sources where the child can reach them. Toddlers are top-heavy, so it's hard for them to pull themselves out of water if they fall in. But is it true that they can drown even in shallow water?
How Do You Make Blinds Cords Safe?
Make Sure They're At Least 12 Centimeters Off The Ground Wrap Them In Cleats High Up Off The Ground Make Sure Your Child Knows Where They Are And Tell Them Never To Go Near Them Remove Them And Lay Them Flat On The Ground When You're Not Using Them
Along with drowning, another source of danger and potential death for toddler is something that is present all over most houses. This is something that a lot of parents miss, because they seem like such innocent and harmless items. We are talking of course about blinds cords. These hanging strings on your blinds pose a major threat, as toddlers can become tangled in them and actually hang themselves on the cords. But how can you actually make blinds cords safe?
What's A Good Way To Prevent Your Child From Getting Injured By A Dog?
Make Sure Your Child Knows That They Must Show Their Dominance Over Dogs Invest In A Set Of Baby Armor™ Teach Them To Be Gentle With Dogs Smack The Dog Firmly On The Nose Before Your Child Approaches
While dogs might be man's best friend, toddlers might just have an even stronger relationship with canines. Many of us remember growing up with a family dog, and the bond between dog and toddler can be one that is almost as strong as that of a sibling. Some toddlers love dogs so much! But if you're not careful, dogs can actually pose a danger to toddlers, especially if they're not familiar with them. How can you prevent your child from injury by dog?
Where Should A Child Never Hug A Dog?
Around The Tail Around The Waist/Torso Around One Leg Around Its Neck, Or Any Way That Brings Their Two Heads Together
Dogs are fun creatures, and toddlers love them because they're just so cuddly. The first instinct for a lot of kids out there is to give a dog a big hug, just like they would a human being. But what parents AND toddlers always seem to forget is that dogs aren't people. They abide by a very different set of social rules, and what might be acceptable to us might seem threatening to a dog. Where should a child never hug a dog?
True Or False, Children Older Than 5 Should Take Regular Daytime Naps
Napping is something many people love to do, not just toddlers. A nap can be a great way to catch up on some sleep and provide a new boost of energy to get you through a tough day. Kids are famous for taking naps, however, and because they're growing so much they need plenty of time to rest and let their bodies recharge. But what about kids older than 5? Is it true that they should be taking regular daytime naps?
What Shouldn't You Do If Your Child Is Having A Night Terror?
Give Them A Hug When It's Over Try To Wake Them Sit There And Do Nothing While It's Happening Bring Them Hot Cocoa When It's Over
Night terrors are something that not every child experiences, but those who do have them do not forget them. These are episodes of deep psychological trauma, and it's not exactly clear what triggers these events. Some researchers believe it's a result of a child not getting enough sleep. There are many things you should do when your child is having one of these night terrors, such as be there to console them when it passes. But what SHOULDN'T you do?
How Can Separation Anxiety Manifest During Sleep?
Calling Out To You Sleeping Longer Than Usual Sleeping Less Than Usual Giddiness
Separation anxiety is another troublesome thing that can manifest itself during sleep. Separation anxiety is exactly what it sounds like - the tendency for some children to become distressed when you leave their side. This is the thing that drives a lot of parents insane because it keeps them up at night. One the one hand, it's easy to understand this level of anxiety. But on the other hand, it can be very frustrating. But how can separation anxiety manifest itself during sleep?
What Should You NOT Do If Your Child Continues To Call Out To You During Sleep Time?
Inform Them That This Behavior Is Unacceptable Ignore Them Issue Them A Free Pass For *One* Bedtime Visit Per Night Go Into The Room
We've established that when children experience separation anxiety, they often call out to you as parents and ask you to come to them and console them. This is the thing that keeps parents awake at night, and it drives many parents to the brink of insanity. Kids can be quite insistent and very loud in these situations, and it's sometimes not clear what exactly you should do. The key is making it stop. But what should you NOT do when your child calls out?
Which Of These Is NOT A Sign That Your Toddler Is Tired?
Getting Quiet Less Demands For Attention Less Hunger More Demands For Attention
Toddlers are living a mile per minute, and as a result they can often get very tired very quickly. Their energy levels might be at peak levels on minute, and then dropped down to about zero the next minute. But sometimes it's hard to tell whether your child is even tired. They can be deceptive little creatures at times. However, there are some easy ways to tell if your little one is actually tired. But which of these is NOT a sign?

Minnesota United FC vs. New York Red Bulls | 2017 MLS Match Preview

Minnesota United FC vs. New York Red Bulls
2017 MLS Regular Season
TCF Bank Stadium – Minneapolis, Minn.
Saturday, July 22 – 4 pm ET
WATCH: ESPN, ESPN Deportes (USA) | TSN2 (Canada)
A newly resurgent New York Red Bulls side – fresh off a 5-1 hammering of the San Jose Earthquakes that moved them back above the playoff game – will surely like their chances heading into a nationally-televised clash at an injury-ravaged Minnesota United FC side that has struggled offensively in the last month and dropped points in just over half its home matches.
Still, Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch has warned against complacency against a side that has improved markedly on the defensive side of the ball after beginning their expansion season at a historically bad clip.
"Minnesota still has not been easy to beat at home in the last couple of months," Marsch said this week. "And we'll have to go on turf. It will be a hot day and they'll challenge us in a lot of different ways."
While Minnesota have a long way to go (nine points, to be exact) to salvage their already-fading playoff chances after a 0-0 home draw against Houston on Wednesday – the third time in 11 home games they have been shut out – the Red Bulls are back over the playoff line in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and will be hoping to both move away from the chasing pack.
A battered Loons side heads into this one with 10 players absent via either injury or international duty, plus another five listed as questionable. It's left head coach Adrian Heath with little room to maneuver in terms of his squad selection, especially on the backline where only one true center back is available.
The threadbare nature of the team heading into this weekend means that some of Minnesota's summer transfer window signings, who have spent very little time with the club, could be pressed into immediate service. New Zealand international center back Michael Boxall is a good shout to step into the backline, otherwise Justin Davis could slide over from left back.
Minnesota's other summer pickiup, Scottish winger Sam Nicholson, may not need to be rushed into action, with a little more depth available at that postion, especially if Miguel Ibarra can go after picking up an ankle knock on Wednesday.
Suspended: None
Suspended after next yellow card: D Brent Kallman
Int'l Duty: D Francisco Calvo (Costa Rica, Gold Cup), D Jermaine Taylor (Jamaica, Gold Cup)
Injury Report: OUT: M Bernardo Anor (left lower leg), GK John Alvbage (left thumb), M/D Thomas de Villardi (left Achilles), D Marc Burch (sports hernia), M Rasmus Schuller (left thigh), D Kevin Venegas (right thigh), D Joe Greenspan (head), M Sam Cronin (neck); QUESTIONABLE: M Johan Venegas (left thigh injury), F Abu Danladi (right hamstring injury), M Miguel Ibarra (left ankle injury), Christian Ramirez (right thigh injury); D Vadim Demidov (left knee injury)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Bobby Shuttleworth – Jerome Thiesson, Brent Kallman, Michael Boxall, Justin Davis – Collen Warner, Ibson – Miguel Ibarra, Kevin Molino, Bashkim Kadrii – Christian Ramirez
Notes: Following Wednesday night's 0-0 draw with Houston, Minnesota are now winless in their last three home games (1L-2D). They had failed to win only three of their first eight league home games (5W-3L). … Minnesota's Christian Ramirez was caught offside twice against Houston. His 18 total offsides this season are tied with Bradley Wright-Phillips for the sixth most offsides in the league.
After a first half that featured some drab play and plenty of hand-wringing from the fans, the Red Bulls exploded coming out of the Gold Cup, dropped five on the San Jose Earthquakes (the first time they've scored that many since last year's infamous 7-0 win over NYCFC). The outburst can be partly attributed to a shift to a 5-4-1 formation (more on that here), but they're not about to let the midweek pasting they dished out go to their heads.
"It was good," Red Bulls head coach Marsch said of the win over San Jose. "The game was in grasp. Now, they're dangerous on counters a couple of times so it could have been tied at some point. I think it was very good and we're moving in the right direction, but I still think there is plenty of room for improvement.
"We've been in a good way. We've had some results pile up for us. We've rotated the formation a little bit and we think it gets the best out of a lot of guys, but you always have to be careful that you always continue to have your minds in the right places and you don't get too far ahead of ourselves."
Suspended: D Kemar Lawrence (following international duty)
Suspended after next yellow: None
Int'l Duty: Kemar Lawrence (Gold Cup, Jamaica)
Injury Report: OUT – D Gideon Baah (broken leg), M Mike Grella (knee surgery); QUESTIONABLE – D Aurelien Collin (hamstring)
Projected Starting XI (5-4-1): Luis Robles – Tyler Adams, Michael Murillo, Aaron Long, Damien Perrinelle, Connor Lade – Sean Davis, Felipe, Sacha Kljestan, Daniel Royer – Bradley Wright-Phillips
Notes: The Red Bulls are searching for their first three-game road winning streak since April 13-May 4, 2013. They have scored five goals in their last two away games after scoring four in their first seven away games this year (1W-6L). … The Red Bulls five goals against San Jose on Wednesday night was just the 15th time in franchise history that they scored five or more goals in a league game (14W-1D). It was the second time they have scored five or more in an MLS game under Jesse Marsch.

I thought it would be nice to have some BIG Star Fleet screen grabs floating around the net so here are ten 720 by 480 images taken from the X Bomber DVDs. http://www.bigdaix.com/starfleetgallerypage.htmMany more to come.Shane.
The transfer is very good indeed, but then the Laserdiscs were pretty good too. You can see every spec of dust and scratch on the film. And lots of model wires that were once invisible because of the fuzziness of VHS now stick out like sore thumbs. But it's all part of the charm innit. If someone would just tack the english soundtrack over the top and release the bloody thing over here, all would right with the world.Shane.
Well, for measurable quality using the resolution of each format, here's one way to look at it...VHS tape can record 220 - 240 horizontal lines.Laserdiscs use 400 - 425 horizontal lines.Commercial DVDs use up to 540 horizontal lines.So, no matter what size of TV you watched as a child, seeing the same show on Laserdisc or DVD today would easily have twice as much detail than what you saw before. Then, consider that VHS tapes often degrade quickly and you've got an even greater difference.You might be surprised how much easier digital remastering is these days. The Indiana Jones series was recently remastered digitally with all the grunt work done automatically by the computers. Removing strings would be a much more tedious human-driven task, but simply cleaning up the originals would be (relatively) easy enough.Of course, I could easily forgive the strings today if it meant a real English-dubbed DVD release would be available.
Oh, I would be very displeased indeed if someone were to erase the strings, wires etc. It's part of what makes this sort of show fun to watch now as an adult. Shane.
Another 30 images to complete the gallery are now up.http://www.bigdaix.com/starfleetgallerypage.htmShane.
Hi that's a great image library - really nicely framed. (I never knew Hercules had an adjustable wrench as part of his uniform).
Beautiful! Thanks for the updates, Shane.
Thanks for those - superb!Just one question - no shot of X-Bomber?

Yopa, which says it is the second largest hybrid agency when measured by listings, has received a major new £20m investment.
Savills - an existing investor in the agency - has pumped in further cash, alongside three other companies, also existing investors.
Yopa already employs 140 people and the latest investment will be used to hire more staff, develop technology and expand a new customer service centre in Watford.
Yopa's high profile backers also include DMG Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Daily Mail and General Trust, which according to the Mail this morning has 'led' the new investment package.
Last month LSL Property Services, in a trading statement to shareholders, reported that its net bank debt rose 45 per cent to £46m thanks partly to £20m invested in the online agency Yopa.
In the spring the UK PropTech Association, suggested that Yopa had enjoyed around £55m of investment - at the time that was more than Emoov and Tepilo combined, and before today's new funding.
Yopa now has had a total of £75m invested in it.
Yopa chief executive Ben Poynter says: "This latest funding round is clear recognition of Yopa's potential to disrupt the traditional home sales industry."
Manuel Lopo De Carvalho, chief executive of DMG Ventures, adds: "Yopa is a stand-out performer in our portfolio. We are thrilled to support Ben Poynter and his team."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can't digitise personal service. This model will keep on needing more cash forever. It can never become profitable and investors need to read this article about why VCs will never "disrupt property" in this way. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-vcs-learn-cant-disrupt-resi-property-charles-wright
Congrats to Yopa on the fundraise. Money continues to pour into online estate agency, which is fully justified when you look at the enormous unnecessary costs charges to the general housemoving public to sustain the massive inefficiencies and unnecessary costs in the "traditional" model.
Money continues to pour in as they can't make money on their own! It's not possible to do a decent job for customers when you charge so little.
Funny, that is what they said about Uber, AirBnB, Amazon, Google and Netflix too. And now it is happening in banking too, with companies like Revolut. Anyone clinging to the old fashioned, high cost, "please come in to the branch and also I will send one 100 emails" models is going to get blown away. No one under 60 wants that anymore.
In what way is Yopa like any of those companies you mention?
Great, more investment for the 'disruptors'
disrupting what? and how? What has any of these companies done to actually fundamentally change the process of buying and selling property? Nothing. All they do is charge less and give less. It is not a game changing situation and the sooner the smoke and mirror advertising clears and the general population cotton on to this the better.
There is room for a truly game changing agency to emerge, but they would need to completely re write the entire process from the ground up including conveyancing. The current crop of so called disruptors are not it.

If you're like me and love all things Christmas, you're sure to like this cute little Christmas tree. Not only can it be used to decorate your home or workplace, but each box can be filled with goodies so it would make a great gift too!
Tree Trunk: Cut out and assemble the drum per measurements in table above. Set the completed drum aside for later.
ribbon knot with some hot glue. Place the stacked boxes on top of the drum base. (You could adhere the drum to the bottom of the largest box to make it more sturdy but I didn't find it necessary).
Bow: Cut out as per measurements in table above and assemble as usual. Embellish with a small button to finish it off.
Card: Only cut out the pieces noted in the table above, no resizing required. Adhere the large_star to the card_base and then tie a ribbon. Adhere the large_star_bottom directly onto the small_star_bottom and then adhere over the ribbon with some pop dots or dimensional tape. Add a matching button on top of the bow with some hot glue.
As you can't see the bottoms of the star boxes, use plain cardstock or craft paper for these parts and save your pretty paper for the bits that you can actually see when the tree is assembled.
You can mix up the set by making a different SVG Cuts card in coordinating papers and colors. There are so many to choose from!
Depending on your paper choice, you can add some ink around the edges to give your project a vintage look.
This project would be perfect for the workplace. The star cards are so quick and easy to make so you could whip up a bunch in no time. Use the tree to decorate yourdesk or counter and then surprise your colleagues by giving them each their own card and star box filled with treats or a small gift just before Christmas. Hope you enjoyed the project!

Apollopalooza to feature talks from two Mines professors
Two Colorado School of Mines professors are among the Apollo-era legends, astronauts, business leaders, innovators and thought leaders who will be speaking at Apollopalooza, Colorado's weeklong celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing and the future of space exploration.
Hosted at Wings Over the Rockies in Denver, the July 13-20 celebration will feature more than 50 public panels, workshops, lectures, movie screenings and more, culminating in a special screening party of the Apollo 11 footage 50 years later to the minute—or 8:56 p.m., July 20 MT, to be exact. VIP speakers include Apollo 11 flight director Gene Kranz and Apollo 17 astronaut and U.S. Sen. Harrison Schmitt.
George Sowers, professor of practice in the space resources graduate program at Mines, will give the July 19 keynote presentation at 1 p.m. in the Main Hangar. His talk, "Mining the Moon for Fun and Profit," will focus on what could be the first economically viable lunar resource—the ice at the Moon's poles, processed into rocket fuel.
Richard Palin, assistant professor of geology and geological engineering, will also speak July 19 on the geology and geological history of the Moon. His presentation, focused on the current state of knowledge and future directions for research that could pave the way toward gaining a formative understanding of the Earth-Moon system, will begin at 2:15 p.m. in the Harrison Ford Theater.
Both of the Mines professors' lectures are included in the cost of a daily or weekly pass for the event. For more information or to buy tickets, go to wingsmuseum.org/events/apollo.

Artwork of NIU professors on exhibit in Fermilab Art Gallery
September 18, 2013 | Leah Hesla
Charlotte Rollman's "Walking Path" is currently on display in the Fermilab Art Gallery.
As you take in the paintings, prints and sculptures currently on display in the Fermilab Art Gallery, you will see views of landscapes real and imagined, of scenes unreal and affecting.
The new exhibit, titled "VIEWS," shows works of four art professors from Northern Illinois University. An artist reception will take place in the gallery on Friday, Sept. 20, beginning at 5 p.m.
Harry Wirth's experimental landscapes are from a series of paintings called "Imaginary Spaces." Although Wirth uses only a minimum of shapes and lines — simple washes and bands of color — to depict the scene, his approach to the landscapes is far from simplistic. They are the culmination of many visual experiences.
"I just cleaned the palette completely, starting from scratch to do what I always wanted to do: deal with landscape imagery on an experimental and imaginary level," he said. Rather than representing actual scenes, the series' landscapes are born of the imagination. "I sort of put together all these little postcard pictures that I have in my brain and let those images flow onto the paper."
His spontaneous, free-form landscapes also include paintings in which only parts of a scene are shown — the part you might see while looking through a window frame. In the painting, the window frame is shown as blank, unpainted paper, a sharp-edged nothingness blocking out the scenery, letting the viewer's imagination do the rest.
Artist Charlotte Rollman also lets the paper show through in her watercolor paintings, thus allowing colors to advance that much more strongly, bringing the scenes to life.
"It's sort of like drawing and leaving the white of the paper — it energizes the color," Rollman said. "I actually like color so much that it feels like a real thing to me. It's not just a palette or a name. It's a three-dimensional thing that reflects light and life."
Her vivid impressionist-style paintings of the outdoors show scenes from all over the country: Dubuque, the Mississippi River, Rocky Mountain National Park.
Also on display in "VIEWS" are Ashley Nason's surreal prints of animals and everyday objects set in a deliberately, yet seemingly haphazardly, arranged settings. Sculptor Yih-Wen Kuo abstracts the traditional understanding of a vessel to an exploration of empty and occupied space.
Artists showing in the exhibit will be at Friday's reception to chat with attendees. All are welcome.

Video Trends 2008: Mobile to High-Def (2/08)
Acquiring Video
Camcorders: Memory Cards and HD
Video Trends
Video has never been more accessible for consumers -- and more confusing. It's even easier to use -- and harder to understand and master. It's all about "one-click" simplicity -- and an overwhelming profusion of options.
The tends in digital video for 2008 reflect these challenges and contradictions, as equipment manufacturers and software developers bring more and more technology to the market, while trying to balance the tension between ease of use and powerful functionality.
In particular, the industry is balancing the simultaneous consumer enthusiasm for both high-def video and low-res video -- with the parallel development of both HD video -- with new camcorders, formats, software, and media offering stunning video quality -- and Web and mobile video -- low-res clips on YouTube and the iPhone.
So let's look at some of the developing trends and some representative current products to see how the consumer video market has been developing, and to anticipate what's coming in the next year.
Acquiring Video: Mobile Phones
We love watching video, and have graduated from TV and movies to online video -- especially for younger consumers. We also are creating our own videos, what's called user-generated content (UGC) -- and lots of it. The mobile phone is blowing past traditional cameras as the photo-taking device of choice, and soon the majority of mobile phones with be video-enabled -- to both shoot and to watch videos.
Meanwhile, digital cameras are shooting better-quality video, at full standard-res. These devices typically shoot in variants of the MPEG-4 format (often called MP4, 3GP, and H.264), which is becoming better supported by editing software.
The real problem will com in how to save, store, archive, access, and share all this content that we are generating. Expect more emphasis on built-in file-sharing and YouTube-uploading in video software. And look for more home digital storage and media server options to back up and archive our electronic memories.
Meanwhile, the options in digital video camcorders are exploding, with an amazing profusion of recording options, as Mini-DV tape is augmented by 3-inch mini-DVD disc, hard disk drives (HDD), and solid-state memory (SDHC) -- as well as various combinations of the above.
See Digital Holiday Trends 2007: Video Camcorders
Find the Panasonic HDC-DX1 DVD camcorder
and Panasonic HDC-SD1 memory card camcorder on Amazon.com
- Mini-DV tape camcorders are proven and reliable and inexpensive. They can record for a solid hour, interfaces well with existing software, and uses low DV compression which is easy to edit. The physical tape also serves as is an inexpensive archive. However, tape is clumsy for fast access and searching, and the mechanical tape transport mechanism weighs down the camcorder and can cause alignment or other problems over time.
- DVD disc camcorders -- actually mini-size discs -- are really convenient for consumers -- just pop them into a set-top player or computer to watch your clips (though you may need to wait for the camcorder to finalize the disc). However, the variety of DVD formats is confusing, and the storage capacity even with double-sided discs is limited for higher-quality formats. These cameras record in the more compressed MPEG-2 format used on DVDs, which has lower quality and is clumsier to edit. The disc also can serve as a relatively inexpensive archive. DVD camcorders can grow in capacity with the future adoption of the high-def disc formats (HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc).
The 8 cm (3 inch) mini-DVD discs are available in single layer (1.4 GB) and dual layer (2.6 GB) sizes. For example the Sony Handycam DVD camcorders record directly to DVD-R/-RW/+RW/+R media formats (www.sonystyle.com). The Sony DCR-DVD standard-def camcorders start at $399, and can fit 20 to 60 minutes of SD video on a single-layer disc, or 35 to 110 minutes on dual layer. The Sony HDR-UX HD camcorders record 1080i AVCHD video, and can fit 15 to 25 minutes of HD video on a single-layer disc, or 25 to 45 minutes on dual layer
- Hard Disk Drive (HDD) camcorders have become more popular as storage capacity has grown into the multiple 10's of GBs, and prices have come into the range of the alternate formats. The greatest benefit is immediate access to your video -- just attach the camcorder to your computer to access the clips.
However, with HDD camcorders the media is not removable -- once you fill the camera in the fields you need to hook it up to a computer and a bigger disk to copy off the data and free up the internal storage. As a result, you will have to plan to think more about how you will store and archive your material. In addition, like DVD camcorders, HDD camcorders typically use more aggressive compression than DV -- like MPEG-2 -- in order to squeeze more video onto the disk.
For example, the JVC HD Everio GZ-HD3 has a 3-CCD sensor, shoots HD video at 1440 x 1080 resolution in HDV format (MPEG-2 TS), has a 60 GB hard disk (and can record to SD cards), and can store 5 to 7 hours of video (at 19 to 27 Mbps), for around about $1,300 (www.jvc.com). Standard-def Everios with 30 GB of storage can record from 7 to 37 hours in MPEG-2 format (at 4 to 8.5 Mbps).
- Solid-state memory is coming on fast as almost the best of all worlds for camcorder storage, at its capacity keeps doubling and prices keep dropping. Memory cards offer the instant-access convenience of hard disks, and the easy removability of tape and DVD.
The new SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, www.sdcard.org) format expands the SD card format to higher capacity of 4 GB and beyond, and faster speeds beyond 2 MB/s. Larger and faster 8 GB cards are now available (albeit at a significant premium compared to 4 GB at around $55) -- including Kingston (up to 6 MB/sec transfer rate for $139, www.kingston.com/flash), and SanDisk (up to 9 MB/s read, 10 MB/s write for $239 with USB reader, www.sandisk.com/SD). And in August, Toshiba announced a 16 GB SDHC memory card for October, and a 32 GB SDHC card for January 2008.
For example, the Panasonic HDC-SD1 AVCHD camcorder records in highest quality mode at 13 Mbps, so each GB of storage can hold around 10 minutes of video (www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/sd). As a result, a tiny 4 GB SDHC card at around $55 can hold 40 minutes of HD video, and 8 GB at around $110 can hold 80 minutes -- or more DV or HDV video than a DV tape. And the Panasonic Palmcorder standard-definition SD camcorders like the rugged SDR-S10 ($399) record MPEG-2 video at 2.5 to 10 Mbps -- or some 12 to 50 minutes of video per GB of storage.
The trend to HD has accelerated because these consumer recording formats can be upgraded naturally to high-def video -- recording similar amounts of video to the same physical media, but now in HD.
DV camcorders can be upgraded to HD with the HDV format (HD MPEG-2, www.hdv-info.org), designed to fit an hour of HD video on DV tape. And other MPEG-based camcorders can be upgraded to HD with the AVCHD format (MPEG-4 H.264/AVC, www.avchd-info.org), designed to pack HD onto mini-discs, hard drives, and memory cards.
See HD on the Desktop: HDV and AVCHD
Meanwhile, interfacing to your computer is getting easier as well. DV camcorders originally used the FireWire/IEEE 1394 interface, but USB 2.0 has become more common as it is built in to new computers. With DV tape, you typically "capture" digital video by importing it from your camcorder into your editing software. With DVD disc (and the disc-like AVCHD format), the software opens up the disc's contents so you can extract the desired clips. But with the hard drive and memory card camcorders (and with a card reader), you can directly access the camcorder's storage like an external disk to preview and copy the contents directly to your computer.
Look for video software to become more flexible in handling all these new formats -- both opening the digital files wherever they are found (USB to camcorder, memory card, local hard disk), and displaying the saved clips in useful ways (not just each shot as a separate file, but the whole collection of shots).
Video Playback Software: Web and HD
As video file and media formats have proliferated, the traditional DVD player applications have expanded their scope into general media players. The past year has seen the addition of support for high-def discs and HD formats (AVCHD), as well as refinement of convenience features for playback -- which will continue into future versions.
CyberLink PowerDVD
CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra consolidates support for the new HD disc formats, HD DVD and Blu-ray ($99, www.gocyberlink.com). It goes beyond simple movie playback to support next-generation disc features including Picture-in-Picture movie mode, networking, interactive interactivity (BD-J and iHD), bookmarks, and advanced disc navigation. And it supports high-definition audio formats including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and 6.1-channel surround sound.
It also has some nice playback features, including one-click DVD dialog looping, moveable DVD subtitles, and power-saving settings for notebooks, including automatically activated DVD time stretching.
InterVideo WinDVD 8
InterVideo (now Corel) WinDVD 8 is available in two versions, Gold for $39, and Platinum for $59 with support for the latest audio/video technologies, including MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, DVD-Audio, and advanced Dolby audio (www.intervideo.com).
As a universal player, it plays streaming formats (Real Player, Quick Time, Windows Media), mobile formats (MPEG-4 AVC H.264 Main Profile, 3GPP/3GPP2), and HD formats (DivX 5.2 Pro, HD Audio, WMV-HD).
Both applications also have media sharing features, with Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) file sharing and media playback between PCs and set-top players.
Video Editing Software: Simplicity and Power
Today's consumer video editing software provides amazing capabilities at around a $100 price point -- importing a profusion of formats, real-time editing and effects, export to mobile and Web, and burning DVD and high-def formats. At the same time, these applications also package impressive technology for automating editing, clean-up, enhancement, and music creation.
The trend is clearly towards integrated video editing tools that include both traditional video editing and DVD authoring in one application. At the same time, companies like Roxio and Nero also offer broad suites of digital media tools for video, audio, and photo capture, editing, and sharing -- plus disc tools for burning and backup.
See Summary: Roxio Easy Media Creator 10
See Summary: Nero 8 Ultra Edition
The conflicting trends of simplicity and power in video editing software are demonstrated by the decisions that the developers have made in upgrading their products. Major themes over the past year have been adding support for editing HD formats (HDV, AVCHD), exporting to mobile devices (especially the Apple iPod and Sony PSP), and burning to the new high-def disc formats (Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD).
For example, Pinnacle Studio 11 is available in three versions -- with the core Studio editor for $49, and Studio Plus for $99 as consumers step up to advanced editing and HD formats (www.pinnaclesys.com). Studio Plus adds advanced editing, effects and authoring options, plus end-to-end HD video editing workflow, including native HDV and AVCHD editing, and HD DVD disc burning.
See Summary: Pinnacle Studio 11
Plus, there's the Studio Ultimate suite for $129 that lets more advanced users expand their palette with third-party professional audio and video effects and enhancement tools, plus a chroma key green screen backdrop for shooting your own video overlays.
Studio also is well optimized to take advantage of multi-core processors, to break up the software tasks to work faster and keep your system more responsive, especially while working with HD video and exporting the finals rendered movie.
Ulead VideoStudio 11
Ulead (now Corel) VideoStudio 11 also integrates video editing with DVD authoring (www.ulead.com/vs). The core VideoStudio is $89, and the Plus version is $129 with support for HD editing (AVCHD, MPEG-2 HD, HD DVD, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround audio), and enhanced portable device support (MPEG-4, H.264 for Microsoft Zune, Apple iPod, Sony PSP, YouTube, mobile phones).
See Summary: Ulead VideoStudio 11
An important theme of HD editing is to not confuse users with the details of file formats, resolution, and compression algorithms, and instead just import and edit the desired files. VideoStudio has such a multi-format timeline, allowing you to mix any and all supported formats on the same timeline. Plus it also offers a Smart Proxy feature to help edit video even on mid-range machines by converting clips to lower-resolution versions for faster editing.
VideoStudio also has an interesting option when you want to get some other work done while it's busy exporting a long movie -- a Safely Pause Rendering to free up PC resources.
Sony Vegas Movie Studio+DVD 8
In contrast, Sony Vegas Movie Studio+DVD 8 has two separate applications: the Vegas Movie Studio 8 editor and DVD Architect Studio 4 for DVD authoring (www.sonycreativesoftware.com). It's available in two versions, the core software for $79 and the Platinum Edition for $119.95, with HD video capture and editing, 5.1 surround mixing, and professional video effects.
See Summary: Sony Vegas Movie Studio+DVD 8
The Platinum Edition adds features including HDV capture and editing, 5.1 surround AC-3 encoding, ATRAC import/export, and export to Apple iPod and Sony PSP. It also expands creative editing options with primary color correction, more video effects and transitions, additional DirectX audio effects, and surround sound mixing.
CyberLink PowerDirector 6
CyberLink PowerDirector 6 supports high-definition video editing as well as DVD creation with widescreen 16:9 video content and menus at $89 (www.gocyberlink.com). It can import formats including MPEG-2 HD and WMV-HD, and export to HD MPEG-4 AVC (H.264).
See Summary: CyberLink PowerDirector 6
But one major focus of PowerDirector is pushing ease of use with a variety of Magic automatic editing tools to clean and fix videos, and even create a finished movie from a collection of clips. These provide a quick and easy first-cut solution, with the option for you to make further refinements if you wish. PowerDirector also enables the growing trend for personal video blogging by going beyond just exporting to Web formats by connecting directly to online sharing and storage through YouTube and MediaMax.
2007 was an exciting year in video camcorders, with highly portable tapeless camcorders -- the size of a soda can -- storing on memory cards. You now can go anywhere and shoot HD video for under $1000 -- and dropping.
And it has been a difficult year in video software, as a flood of new technology has been integrated into the products -- multi-core processors, Windows Vista, HD video, portable devices, Web video, and high-def DVD. 2008 should be a year of consolidation and integration, fleshing out full support across all these areas -- multi-format editing and export, importing HD from many different devices and media, direct Web import and sharing in Flash and other formats, and import / burning of high-def DVD formats again to different media.
However, as we continue to shoot and edit more videos, we also start running into the same problem that has developed with digital photography -- just keeping all those files organized and accessible. The new Apple iMovie '08 is moving in this direction as part of the iLife '08 suite, available for $79, and included with new Macs (www.apple.com/imovie).

We've known for quite some time that Marvel would be rebooting their Avengers title with a new #1 issue this May, with writer Jason Aaron (The Mighty Thor) and artist Ed McGuinness (Hulk) taking the helm and guiding a newly formed group of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The House of Ideas released this gorgeous cover by McGuinness a few weeks ago when introducing the news and it's as stunning as the franchise deserves.
Over the past week, Marvel has been working to build the excitement for the new series by releasing character posters of the team by artist Pepe Larraz, with the promise that the group with "Fight as one!" This is telling, as recent years has seen the team fragmented by multiple series and events like Secret Empire and Civil War II, which have seen heroes fighting heroes or switching allegiances.
It makes sense that we would see Ghost Rider–who's never been an Avenger–on the roster, as the series' first arc will feature the Avengers of 1,000,000 BC, first seen in Marvel Legacy and who counts a prehistoric Ghost Rider as one of its members. Doctor Strange will be a temporary member, holding the team's rotating eighth spot early on.
Avengers #1 hits stores May 2nd from Marvel.

Home/Politics/Brexit break-up: Britain could lose Scotland AND Northern Ireland
Brexit break-up: Britain could lose Scotland AND Northern Ireland
New data suggests Britain leaving the European Union presents a "clear and present danger to the future of the UK".
If Brexit were reversed, however, support for both nations remaining within the union swings back the other way.
The polls were conducted by Deltapoll for pro-EU campaign Best for Britain, which said the results "ominously threaten the union as we know it".
When asked how they would vote on Scotlands future after Britain leaves the EU, 47% said they would want independence – with just 43% saying they would want to remain.
Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, 52% of voters said they would support a united Ireland outside Britain if it leaves the EU, with 39% favouring the province staying in the UK.
But support for a united Ireland would shrink to just 35% if Brexit does not go ahead.
Best for Britain chief executive Eloise Todd said: "This is compelling evidence as to why we need to stop and think again.
SPLIT: New data suggests the UK could lose Scotland and Northern Ireland
"The public deserve a say on the final deal, with the knowledge that if Brexit happens we could shatter the union altogether."
Voters in both Scotland and Northern Ireland overwhelmingly voted to remain part of the EU in the 2016 referendum despite the UK as a whole voting to leave.


The Philippines has the longest holiday season in the world. As early as the first day of September, Christmas tunes start to dominate radio airwaves and malls, and children start rounding up houses and streets doing carolings. Bibingka and puto bungbong become best-sellers, and children selling ampaos roam the sidewalks and streets. Giant Christmas trees and similar christmas-themed parks start get lit up.
While these traditions strongly represent holiday symbols, Christmas is never really around the corner until the two giant TV Networks –ABS-CBN and GMA Network, that is– released their Christmas station ID's.
Doing a station ID has never been GMA's strongest suit, arguably and compared to its rival station, ABS-CBN, that is. It is worth noting, however, the incredible effort the network given to come up with meaningful station IDs in recent years.
This year, the Kapuso network imparts the true meaning of Christmas by showcasing ordinary people's efforts to help one another.
The true meaning of Christmas lies in giving.When you give, you extend love to those who receive it, and by doing so, you yourself become the embodiment of Christmas. You become the 'puso ng pasko'.
In this year's station ID, GMA puts people from different walks of life, and their small but significant efforts to make lives around them, better, on spotlight.
Marian Rivera stresses emphasis on respect and how it should be given to anyone, regardless of their physical shortcomings.
800 Kapuso celebrities and GMA Network employees.
This year, the Kapuso Network gives equal importance to its ordinary employees and most prized talents. At least 800 celebrities and employees are put together in one music video to represent this year's theme.
Like every year, it is almost customary to see the biggest stars in the opening and closing frames.
This year, veteran and highly-acclaimed news personality, Jessica Soho, opens 'Puso ng Pasko', practically cementing her place among GMA's biggest talents.
Like in ABS-CBN's 'Family is Love', GMA did not appoint a single artist to close this year station ID, opting to choose its biggest stars and most important personalities, together in the closing frame.
It is interesting, however, to note some of the artists given with significant space and importance in the music video, among them Alden Richards, Maine Mendoza, Marian Rivera, Atom Araullo, Jennilyn Mercado, Julie Ann San Jose and a roster of the network's young singers.
The point of reference of GMA Station ID's success, has always been ABS-CBN's, particularly 'Star ng Pasko'. That may sound unfortunate and unfair to loyal Kapusos, but there is one way to look at it, positively.
Because of the challenge presented by the more popular kapamilya station ID theme songs, GMA has seemingly become more creative in coming up with a more impactful songs. Puso ng Pasko may not possess a different sentiment, but it surprisingly owns a much catchier tune.
It also helped that the network decided to tap its young singing talents, including The Clash's grand winner, Golden Cañedo, to sing this year's theme song.

Q: How to switch view controllers from UIApplication Basically, I have a timer set up in an uiapplication to check if the user is idle, and what I want to happen is that if the user is idle long enough, the viewcontroller on top will be the initial log in one.
The timer part works, I've tried it with NSlog.
So basically, I need to find out the current view controller, if it isn't the registration or login view controllers, it should go to the initial log in view controller.
How do I go about getting the current view controller, then switching, in the UIapplication class?
If it's any help, I'm using a navigation controller, not a tab bar controller.

A: You can retrieve the root view controller of your application by using the sharedApplication singleton:
AppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
UINavigationController *rootNavController = appDelegate.mainWindow.rootViewController;
// Change to what you want your rootViewController

A: You can view all your View Controllers on navigationController stack.
See self.navigationController.topViewController and self.navigationController.visibleViewController;

Surgeons at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London have carried out an operation to separate conjoined twin girls.
Laura Williams, 18, from Shrewsbury, gave birth to the girls, Faith and Hope, last Wednesday.
The girls are joined from their breastbone to their navel, sharing a liver but having separate hearts.
The hospital said it would not comment on how the operation had gone until Wednesday morning.
The operation had been due to take place later in the week.
A Great Ormond Street Hospital spokeswoman said: "The separation of conjoined twins Faith and Hope Williams has been brought forward... after some concerns developed last night.
"Obviously, the final decision about separation surgery was made by the family."
The spokeswoman added that Laura and her husband Aled, from Anglesey, Wales, wanted to thank all the hospitals and staff involved in their care.
Mrs Williams is believed to be the youngest mother of conjoined twins in Britain.
She gave birth to her daughters at University College Hospital in London and said afterwards that seeing her babies for the first time had been beautiful.
Mrs Williams and her husband Aled, 28, found out about their children's condition at a routine 12-week scan.
They were advised by doctors to have their daughters aborted but they refused to have a termination.
The couple have another daughter, 18-month-old Carly.
