Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The best high chairs boast bells and whistles that our grandparents never dreamed of, and yet, the best ones continue to deliver in a few key areas: durability, cleanability and the best positioning for children. After testing 10 high chairs over several weeks and researching many other bestsellers, I found the Graco Blossom 6-in-1 to be the best high chair overall considering how easy it was to clean, adjust, buckle and use. Not only does it support the baby in a proper eating position, but the tray is removable with an easy one-handed motion. Another favorite was the Peg Perego Siesta as the best splurge high chair. If you’re willing to spend another hundred dollars (or $200, depending on sales and colors), you’ll gain a few more features in the Peg Perego, including the ability to fold it for storage and a slightly elevated look. (Read my in-depth reviews of the Graco Blossom and the Peg Perego Siesta .) Then there … [Read more...] about The Best High Chairs Tested To Ensure Proper Seating For Babies And Tots

Do You Want Better Performance? Help People Strengthen Their Relationships
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin So much of work can feel transactional, cold, even mind-numbing. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As Dr. Robert Waldinger , professor of psychiatry, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development , author of The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness , and a Zen master, said in an interview, “Maybe you don’t like making the widgets, but maybe you like the person you’re next to making the widgets. And that can really make a difference.” He contends that the people who are happiest and healthiest have warm connections with others . “Many of us spend more of our waking life at work than we spend anywhere else,” Waldinger explains. “So what is really a tragedy is to treat work as though it’s just something you get through so you can live the rest of your life, because it is much of your life. That artificial division is something that’s worth really looking at and calling into … [Read more...] about Do You Want Better Performance? Help People Strengthen Their Relationships
Roomba 694 Review: The Best Roomba For Daily Maintenance
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An iRobot robot vacuum has been on my wishlist since the day I set foot in my first apartment. The thought of a little machine effortlessly whirring around my floor picking up dog hair and dust was too good to be true. Though there’s a time and a place for a stick vacuum , I excitedly accepted this assignment for a Roomba 694 review to put the gadget to the test using common messes found in my home. As the mom of a 17-month-old baby girl and a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix, there’s no shortage of messes in my house, so I wanted to see if Roomba’s most affordable robot vacuum was up to basic, everyday cleaning tasks. I wanted to test how well this robot vacuum could avoid cords, shoes and laundry without getting tangled in a mess, overheating and giving up. I put this vacuum cleaner to work over the course of six months and observed how it cleaned carpets, wood floors and tile. Though the Roomba 694 isn’t the … [Read more...] about Roomba 694 Review: The Best Roomba For Daily Maintenance
Personality And Job Success: How To Separate The Method From The Madness
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Professor of IO Psychology. CEO of fitt , a multi-method digital talent platform. In my work leading talent assessments, one of the most frequent questions I get asked by organizations is, "What role does personality play in job success?" Whether I am conducting talent reviews for succession planning in a corporate environment, advising a company on a hiring decision or giving feedback coaching for leadership development, there is always a keen interest in understanding the personality makeup of a candidate and whether or not this will have an impact on performance in a role. At the risk of giving the standard psychologist rendition of “there is no right or wrong answer,” the honest response is: It depends. Personality assessment in work settings is nothing new. Used first by the military to gauge the battle readiness of soldiers, tools have evolved over time, become more sophisticated and branched into … [Read more...] about Personality And Job Success: How To Separate The Method From The Madness
Will Receptor Decoys Both Prevent And Treat SARS-CoV-2 Infection?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A new ACE2 decoy mechanism efficiently neutralizes a variety of Covid-19 variants, including Omicron strains. With the continuous evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus over the last three years, the pathogen has become more efficient at infecting our cells and evading our immune defenses. One crucial aspect of this efficiency is affinity to the ACE2 receptor, a major selection criterion in virus evolution. The ACE2 decoy mimics the host cell ACE2, similarly engaging the virus and inhibiting viral entry to a real cell. Using receptors as decoys is not a novel concept. In connection to SARS-CoV-2, ACE2 decoys were tested against closely related viruses, SARS-1 and HIV, in recent decades. The decoy did not come to fruition against these viruses for myriad reasons. For SARS-1, the strategy showed some signs of reduced symptoms in mouse models, but the outbreak calmed before further animal and human testing could continue. For HIV, … [Read more...] about Will Receptor Decoys Both Prevent And Treat SARS-CoV-2 Infection?
James Cameron Finally Admits ‘Jack Might’ve Lived’ On Raft At The End Of ‘Titanic’
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Titanic director James Cameron has finally admitted that Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jack “might’ve lived” at the end of the movie when the titular ocean liner crashed into an iceberg and sank, Variety and Rolling Stone reported Thursday, giving credence to an obsessive 25-year-old fan theory. Key Facts To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, Cameron participated in a National Geographic special, “Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron,” in which three scientific tests were performed by stunt actors to determine if Jack could have fit on a makeshift raft along with Rose, which saved her life. In the one successful test, stunt actors who were roughly the same size as DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who portrayed Rose, performed the “strenuous activities” that the characters went through in the film before they got off the sinking ship, before balancing on the raft with only the lower portions … [Read more...] about James Cameron Finally Admits ‘Jack Might’ve Lived’ On Raft At The End Of ‘Titanic’
Skipping Pilot Purgatory For TinyML And IoT Solutions
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Vitaly Kleban is the CTO at Everynet | Tech due diligence for VC | TinyML Contributor | LoRaWAN Contributor | ISO Blockchain Contributor. Pilot projects are crucial for assessing the performance of IoT solutions—yet many of them are stuck in pilot purgatory. One of the reasons for that is that many project teams start thinking about the pilot evaluation criteria once the project is underway already, or even when the project has been completed. Skipping The Pilot Purgatory One way to avoid pilot purgatory is to move your team's attention from project planning to project rollout by using binding “try-and-buy” contracts. Within the framework of such contracts, the customer undertakes to roll out the solution in question right after the success criteria of the pilot project have been achieved. In order to successfully apply such a framework, it is necessary to provide reliable ways for designing and … [Read more...] about Skipping Pilot Purgatory For TinyML And IoT Solutions

Cancer Diagnosis Early Saves Lives
(CTN News) – Medical Oncology Specialist Dr. Celal Alandağ stressed the importance of early cancer diagnosis. “Everybody now knows the importance of early cancer diagnosis.” Cancers that are detected in time with state-of-the-art scans can extend patients’ life expectancy. It’s true. Women are most likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, so doing self-exams is essential to catching early. When you’re 20, you should start checking your breasts once a month and consult your doctor if anything changes. My recommendation is to see a doctor every 2-3 years between 20 and 40. It’s life-saving to get a mammogram and physician evaluation once a year after you’re 40,” he said. She said after the first sexual experience, a smear test and examination should be done once a year to keep an eye on cervical cancer. If it stays normal for three years, you can repeat it every 2-3 years. Controls should be done regularly if there are diseases or drugs that weaken the immune system. … [Read more...] about Cancer Diagnosis Early Saves Lives
