  I am sure almost all of you played with balsa wood gliders at some time in your youth, just as I did. Whether it was a toy that your mum or dad bought you for being good a party favour or something you spent your allowance on in order to have some fun with friends on sunny, summers day.

We just opened the packages slid the wings and tails into the slots and we were ready to go flying. Few of us even bothered to read the assembly instructions. We all knew what aeroplanes looked like. Assembly was simple and easy almost intuitive.

Some of the gliders, we merely tossed into the air. Some we shot skyward with rubber band catapults. Others had rubber-band motors that we wound furiously and released to fly off under their own power.

Many youngsters loved to fly toy aeroplanes, but like me lacked the building skills necessary to assemble those marvellously complicated balsa wood stick & tissue kits. So these ready-to-fly (RTF) balsa wood toys provided an easy way for us to enter the realm of flight.

We soon discovered that we could alter the way the gliders flew by moving the wings forward and back or by adding weight to the nose or by changing the shape of the wings and tail with a piece of sandpaper or even by winding more and more knots into the rubber-band motors.

Unknowingly, we were actually learning about the basics of flight in almost the same way Wilber & Orville Wright did … experimentation. (As the legend goes, it was the gift of a rubber-band powered helicopter toy that first piqued the Wrights interest in flying.)

Many, many times, our best flights ended with the aeroplanes landing on a neighbours rooftop, or in a tree or disappearing totally from sight. But a quick trip to the store could easily replenish our air force. They seemed to be available everywhere, with lots of company choices. There were company names like America Junior Classics, North Pacific, Guillow, Comet, Testors, Champion and Top Flite. And many others I cant remember.

Ready-to-Fly Balsa Wood Toys:

Fond memories indeed. And for me, the start of what turned out to be a 35 year career in aviation.

Although hand-made airoplane-like (or bird-like) flying toys appeared in the 1800s, its unclear exactly when company-made RTF toy aeroplanes first became available. Some model aeroplane kits reportedly appeared as early as 1910. 1911 issues of Aircraft magazine (about real aeroplanes) had numerous ads from several manufacturers for model aeroplanes in kit and RTF form. Most of these were expensive to buy. In a time when $20-25 per week was a really good, working-class salary, the Ideal Model Aeroplane Co. (which became the Ideal Toy Co.) advertised aeroplane kits for $4-6. RTF versions sold for as much as $20. Most of the Ideal RTF aeroplanes were factory built examples of their kit aircraft.

From 1914-20, Ideal offered wood and fibre board RTF gliders for 45 cents. Though not inexpensive by any means, these can probably be considered some of the fore-runners of our toy aeroplanes

In the 1920s and 30s, balsa wood became more readily available and the number of simple RTF toy gliders increased. Certainly the Charles Lindbergh phenomenon also boosted sales of toy and model aeroplanes of all types. However, most were still only available from hobby shops, finer toy stores or through mail order. Many of the companies that would become household names in the toy and model aeroplane world American Junior aircraft, the Paul K Guillow Co., the Cleveland Model & Supply Co., the Testor Corporation and Comet Model Aeroplane & Supply Co. all had their beginnings in this period.

During World War 2, balsa wood was considered to be a strategic material, so toy aeroplane production was reduced dramatically. However, AJ aircraft founder Jim Walker cleverly developed a launching platform for his folding wing balsa gliders. This provided the Army with a quick and effective system for gunnery practice. As a result, AJ aircraft received significant supplies of balsa and over 120,000 Walker gliders met their doom for the war effort.

After the war, balsa once again became plentiful. As the post-war economy and family production boomed, dozens of companies now competed in the toy aeroplane market. The number and variety of toy aeroplanes was truly dazzling. New and important entrants into the RTF glider market included North Pacific Products, Pactra Chemical Co. and Top Flite.

Education For A Nine Month Old Baby.

By Saen Ansellt

  The world of exploration opens up to your 9-month-old as they begin to accomplish many exciting new things. And, of course, they are getting closer and closer to walking. Many new parents begin to feel a great deal of anticipation for the big day to happen.

Leading up to walking

Regardless, at this age, they can manage thier way around quite well. they are probably creeping or crawling up stairs and cruising around furniture. They may have even attempted to take a small number of steps with support. At this stage she will be developing and strengthening the muscles in thier lower body, as well as establishing thier sense of balance. she needs to be involved in activities that keep them on the move such as standing, crawling, climbing, exploring, walking, squatting, rolling and kicking a ball.

The world of exploration opens up to your 9-month-old as she begins to accomplish many exciting new things. she will discover ways to bend thier knees and to sit after standing, which is actually quite a complex task to accomplish. One way to help them strengthen thier legs is to kneel or stand in front of them, hold out your arms, reaching your hands encouragingly toward them, and grasp both thier hands and walk them toward you.

There are many push toys that they can hold onto and push, which enable them to develop not only thier muscles but additionally thier confidence. Should you opt to buy one of these toys, be sure that it has a wide base for support.

One crucial factor to consider at this stage of thier life is safety. If you havent childproofed your house, you should definitely consider putting safety latches on the doors of off-limit cabinets where you store cleaning solutions and medicines. Curiosity almost ensures they will make a beeline for the very place you keep such things.

Shoes

As she starts to cruise the furniture and spend more time upright than crawling, many parents begin to consider whether or not shoes are necessary. Apparently almost everyone you talk to has a definite opinion in regards to the subject. But according to Penelope Leach, in Your Baby and Child, most of the experts believe that they are not going to need shoes until they are walking around outdoors on a regular basis.

In fact, by allowing them to go barefoot, you will be enabling them to accomplish two significant factors needed in walking. First, they will be strengthening thier arches and leg muscles, and second, they can balance much easier when thier feet are bare because they can feel the varied textures of what she is walking on.

Hands-on play

Though you will be concentrating a lot of time on developing thier large motor skills, it is also imperative that you continue developing the fine motor skills through hands-on play, they ought to be quite good at manipulating toys and other objects such as a bottle or cup. Stacking and shape-sorter toys are great because they are three-dimensional and encourage them to pick up, stack, release and remove objects. But you do not have to rush out and buy a sorting or stacking kind of toy. You can simply give them a plastic bucket with colourful blocks or toys which have moving parts, like plastic or wooden cars with doors that open and shut and wheels that roll. For stacking you can use blocks, cardboard books or merely plastic food containers from your kitchen. Just remember to check the size of the objects, ensuring they will not be small enough for them to swallow.

Changing emotions

Thier emotional development changes significantly as they becme quite adept at asserting therselves, making thier wants and desires known. You might have noticed that they now respond to your gestures with thier own intentional gestures. For example, when you reach out to them they will reach out to you in response. She will also initiate social interactions with those close to them. You notice how they reach for your hair or Dad’s nose and raises thier arms up, signaling that they wishes to be picked up. She expresses her excitement and pleasure by smiling and placing fingers in your mouth, then thier own, and finally, she|they} can protest or show anger by pushing away objects, screaming when you take away toys or they slide food off of the high chair tray.

Fears and anxieties

Other emotions that they demonstrate are fear and anxiety. Stranger anxiety usually begins around 9 months old, although it can appear earlier or later. But because this is the stage when separation anxiety is at its peak, it would be perfectly normal for them to become upset when they are unable to see you. Your 9-month-old does not understand that when something is out of sight it is only temporarily gone. When you apply this to something or someone of a greater significance such as Mummy or Daddy, they may experience separation anxiety and form an extreme attachment to you, thus causing them to demonstrate fear toward everyone else. This can be most difficult for grandparents, carers and family members to understand. There are ways that you can help them deal with anxiety. You can play object permanence games such as peek-a-boo, which helps them to understand that just because she is unable to see you for a moment does not mean that you are gone for good.

Baby&Baby Development&Baby Names&Baby Shower&Pregnancy20 Mar 2012 04:14 pm

By Ian g Williamson

  An expecting mom possibly will be the happiest person in the world should she give birth to a little angel. And in anticipation of the new child, baby showers are normally held around 3 months ahead of the baby is born. It is possible to hold it subsequent to the baby is given birth to. It has advantages in doing that plus it would be little simplier and easier choosing gifts if it were being held after. A elevated percentage though holds it before the baby’s delivery. Searching for baby shower gifts and things may well be extremely amusing. You can bestow anything designed for the baby, from child consumables to playthings. Selecting the best gift can be tough To help you in picking, you can check out these suggestions:

Buy something that the infant will use regularly. You can get infant ointments, child lotions, diapers, wipes, baby power, and other things, and set them all in a basket or any apt container. All babies make use of diapers, and no mom can live lacking it now a days. Most mothers as a rule deem this as a sensible present because if they get enough of it from guests, they need not pay for diapers for the child until after a few months. That’s a big advantage and big cost savings for them. Running out of diapers in the night could be a nightmare. You can also add a few medicines and vitamins intended for the child. This could come in handy in times of need.

Buy something fun for the child. You can buy toys. Excellent toys are those that move and generate sounds. Purchase something that can be installed on the crib. Options can be infant tape player, vibrator seats, swings, bouncy seats, high chairs, or walkers. The catalog is countless. These toys also increase a baby’s brain expansion through color, item, and noise recognition.

Buy some cute clothing. While this might be risky since you won’t know the gender the baby will be, or its weight upon delivery. Attempt to buy rompers and shirts in standard measurements. This way you can be certain the baby can be dressed in what you bought at least a few times. Don’t buy clothes that require ironing because that is additional task for mothers and you would not wish for that, of course.

Buy something valuable for mommy. Gifts aiding moms caring for the infant is such a good idea. You can purchase a baby carrier or slinger. It is very helpful for mothers to get a little baking or washing completed while moving the infant. A helpful apparatus you can buy is a diaper genie to help keep the smell down from used diapers.

Buy something for moms as well. True, baby showers are for the little ones. But mothers, with all the exhilaration that they feel towards giving birth, can be anxious about the idea as well. You can give gift certificates to moms from a store or shopping center. You can give mothers books or magazines about parenting. You can give them coupons from a Laundromat or a specialized home cleaner. You can prepare for them a dinner for one night and send it over. Or better yet, provide delivery stubs from pizza parlors so in the event dinner can’t be cooked, foodstuff can be driven over.

Baby showers are held to welcome the infant to the the human race. From time to time, baby showers are held only for the first-born. It would be nice to have a shower for all of your new born child so that the child would feel well received and wanted even from the mommy’s womb. Little ones are cute little blessings families are given with. Let’s welcome them even before they come out and join us!

BABY SHOWER FOOD: WHAT TO SERVE AND HOW TO SERVE THEM

By blue casiliar

  A baby shower is a traditional way of celebrating the coming (or the birth) of a new baby and welcoming him or her as a new member of the family. They can be hosted and organized by anybody, usually the close friends/group of friends or relatives of the expectant parents. It was once considered improper for family members to host baby showers (because they usually center on the gift giving), but nowadays it is fine for family members to help (and plan) them.

Baby showers are usually held a month or two before the mother’s expected due date (some cultures, however, consider it bad luck to hold baby showers before the baby is born). They are intended not only to welcome the baby but also to help the expectant parents by giving them gifts that they will need for the baby.

Planning for a baby shower can be an enormous task. Everything requires a great deal of planning – from the guest list, to handing out invitations, to the decorations, to the games, to baby shower favors – and, most especially, to the food.

Every party cannot be without food, as they are considered as one of the best parts or the highlight of a party. This applies to baby showers as well.

There are numerous types of food that you can serve during baby showers. Some of them are the following:

? Bread or sandwiches

? Dessert (cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc.)

? Chips or fries

? Pasta

? Pies (pizzas, etc.)

? Salad

? Drinks (punch, juice, wine, etc.)

Below is a list of several tips and guidelines on food ideas that will surely delight your guests and the parents-to-be:

1. The baby shower food that you serve will largely depend on the time of day when it will be held. A baby shower that will be held at noon or at dinnertime usually requires a full ‘sit-down’ meal, while early afternoon or early evening showers can do with appetizers, salads, and finger foods. In addition, the amount of food that you need to prepare will depend on the number of guests you will be inviting.

2. Have multiple snack trays for serving different varieties of food – you can have one with an assortment of finger sandwiches, another with sliced turkey or smoked chicken, and still another with sliced fresh vegetables served with a dip that you can place in the center of the tray.

3. Try to match your food and keep them in-line with the baby shower’s theme (if ever there is any). You may consider serving scones and finger sandwiches if your baby shower theme is a tea party. Or, if you are having a nursery rhyme-themed baby shower, cakes and pies that resemble the characters from famous nursery rhyme (such as Humpty Dumpty deviled eggs).

4. Put some ‘life’ in the baby shower foods that you will serve. Instead of serving your fruit salad in a simple salad bowl, try presenting them in a melon bowl (or better yet, in a baby carriage-shaped melon server).

5. Decorate your food table by tossing baby pacifier candies, chocolate bars, and confetti all over it.

6. Personalize your eating utensils. Match their colors with the color scheme of the entire party. Consider using disposable cups or plates for easy clean up.

7. It is important to take into account the special diet of the mom-to-be, so try to avoid serving food that the pregnant mom herself would not eat. In addition to her allergies and food aversions, avoid the types of food that are prone to contamination and food poisoning, such as soft cheeses, uncooked meat and (most especially) alcohol.

By following these food tips, you will surely be able to pull off a successful (and memorable) baby shower.

Parenting has never been an enjoyable experience yet become perfect moments. By selecting Baby Shower Foods, parents are assured not only the quality but worth the price.

Baby&Baby Development&Baby Names&Baby Shower&Pregnancy06 Mar 2012 01:40 am

By Arthor Greenwald

  Plenty of people put on their yoga clothing and get stuck into classes up and down the UK, and in many other countries around the world. However, relatively few individuals combine these sessions with laughter.

However, one woman may be set to change this. Sue MacLusky is seeking to establish a ‘laughter yoga’ club in Kidderminster, local paper the Kidderminster Shuttle reports. The enthusiast already runs such classes in Stourbridge and has received requests to set up a new club in the Worcestershire town.

The theory behind the sessions is that individuals wearing their yoga clothes start off by pretending to laugh, which acts as an aerobic exercise and soon find they are in hysterics. Because laughing releases endorphins, this can have the effect of giving people the so-called ‘feel good factor’.

According to Ms MacLusky, who is a trained laughter therapist, this is the perfect way to boost people’s moods. She stated: “This is not a comedy club it is based on something called laughter yoga. We use breathing techniques, laughing for no reason. An hour of laughter is better exercise than an hour on the running machine.”

Meanwhile, one of those who dons her yoga clothing and gets stuck into these unusual classes is Diane Allen. Commenting on her experiences, the 61-year-old said: “I have already started recommending it to people. It is so good to spend an hour laughing and releasing all your worries and frustrations.”

According to the Kidderminster Shuttle, laughter therapy was developed by an Indian doctor named Madan Kataria, who was looking for a way to make people feel happier after he became tired of writing people prescriptions.

Indeed, depression and anxiety-related problems have been rising among consumers in many countries around the world and so the demand for new therapies is particularly high these days.

How Body Pillows And Pregnancy Pillows Help The Pregnant Women

By rold

  A pregnancy pillow is a great support to the pregnant women against pain in different body parts. In later months of pregnancy, most of the women have been found complaining about sleeplessness or restless night sleep due to pain in different body parts. Belly and back are the main aching areas. As the pregnancy period goes on, the baby gains weight and the back muscles have to bear greater exertion to keep the body balanced. This leads to weariness in lower back muscles which causes pain. The optimum solution is to keep the body weight balanced particularly while sleeping. This is what pregnancy pillow and body pillow are meant for.

Basically, three different styles of pregnancy pillow have been designed to bring relief to pregnant women. They are J, C and U shapes. All these shapes of pregnancy pillow are equally trustworthy and bring contribute a lot to comfortable night sleep.

The C-shaped pregnancy pillow wraps around you to provide support legs, stomach, neck and head. They are smaller in size as compared to other types of body pillow and your body gets a snug fit with these pillows. They also provide a great support for your back and help relieving back pain.

A J-shaped pregnancy pillow provides more flexibility than any other body pillow. They can be bent easily to the position that you feel more comforting and relaxing. If your preference is a total body pillow then nothing can be better than a J-shaped pregnancy pillow. You can enjoy true sound sleep because of their versatility.

A U-shaped pregnancy pillow is somehow similar to the J-shaped body pillow but extends a little to your back. This type of body pillow provides great support to your stomach, head and back and allows keeping space between the legs which is often desired by pregnant women at later pregnancy months.

Since all the three pregnancy pillows are equally effective therefore it can create a little confusion about selection of the right one for you. There is no need to worry at this point because at your first glance, you’ll be able to assess that which one will be more suitable for you. The only thing to keep in mind is that whichever you’ll choose will bring you relief from the pain. There is absolutely no chance of choosing the wrong pregnancy pillow. Since they are flexible, therefore you can bend them according to your needs i.e. you can turn a C-shaped pregnancy pillow into a J-shaped one and vice versa.

Not only during pregnancy, you can also take advantage from these body pillow even after pregnancy as they can be used while breastfeeding. They help keeping the baby according to your breast level so that the baby could be able to get the nutrition in the right way. Feeding a new born is a sensitive issue and maintaining the right position is extremely important. Here, body pillow can help you in this regard. So if you are pregnant, get a body pillow without any delay lest you buy it after realizing its need.

A pregnancy pillow is the ultimate need of every pregnant woman. Click here to learn more about body pillow and pregnancy pillow and find the most suitable one for you.


Do you Leak When You Spin?

By Tammy MChamberlain

  Incontinence is the last taboo subject, but is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! Researchers have found that as many as 30 percent of women who run experience incontinence while running. Those figures are just based on runners – but we know that it’s not just runners who experience incontinence! Millions of people, individuals who exercise – from yoga, to Pilates, to spinning, to Latin Dance (Zumba is the rage right now!), weight lifting, running, power walking – experience incontinence.

After all 25 million Americans (75 percent of those are women) live with it, those numbers may actually quite a bit higher. With statistics like these, why aren’t we talking more about incontinence? Because it’s the last taboo subject! But we shouldn’t be humiliated about it – so lets discuss it – now! Lets get real. Urinary incontinence (UI) is very common in female runners, as well as those women participating in other forms of exercise, such as; calenetics, Pilates, yoga etc, and those who participate in other types of exercise. It’s been said that one third of women have incontinence issues as they become older, some say that value could be as high as 60 percent! So again, why aren’t we exchanging information about it?

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as an uncontrollable and unintentional loss or leakage of urine. Stress incontinence occurs when you’re doing aerobics (or other exercising). Stress incontinence means that that when stress is applied to the bladder, it leaks. In this scene, the stress is the physical exertion of you’re doing aerobics or exercise. While women who have had children are more likely to break silence they suffer stress incontinence, females who have never given birthalso deal with this issue.

What can women do to correct this predicament? Well, that depends on the severity of the incontinence. First, find some beautiful incontinence underwear. Incontinence knickers will help you to correct the leaking issues until you can tone up your pelvic floor. Tip: shop for incontinence panties that hold a minimum of 4 oz. Shop for incontinence undergarments that have a built in waterproof barrier and odor control. Some incontinence panties can hold as much as 12 oz! Also, buy good quality incontinenence knickers that can be washed more than 200 times.

Second – fortify your pelvic floor. Not that again! Yes – that again – kegel exercises! If you don’t know what muscles to build up (after all – when was the last time anyone showed you where your kegel muscles were? Mirror please! Um, no thanks – but thanks for sharing!). Shop for book Hold it Sista by Mary O’Dwyer – the ‘down under Dr.” from “Down Under”. She has an intriguing way of explaining to you what you need to do to bolster your kegel muscles.

Third – buy IncoStress. This medical device (do not let the phrase medical device spook you! IncoStress is made of medical grade silicone. It is inserted like a tampon and then held by your pelvic muscles for the period of your kegel exercises and then you can take it out). IncoStress is made by women – for women. It helps you distinguish your kegal muscles and gives you something solid to clench with your kegel muscles – which makes them stronger! The easiest time to do your kegel exercies is right before you go to sleep at night, or first thing before you get out of bed in the morning. These can’t be done effectively when you’re driving your car – and to know why – you need to read Hold it Sista by Mary O’Dwyer.

Incontinence is not a customary part of maturing, and we don’t have to live with it. We need to become our own advocates, we need to teach ourselves and our friends, our mothers, our daughters, about the pelvic floor. Knowledge is power.

What about when these fixes for urinary incontinence aren’t enough. When urinary incontinence conspicuously impinges your life, urinary incontinence surgery may be an option.

By Kenny Tan

  1. Know who’s going to plan the event.

It is important that you have someone to organize and plan the event. It can either be you, a relative, or a friend. Two or more people can help to make the task easier. Each should have a clear understanding of his duties and responsibilities.

2. Decide on the date, time, and place of the baby shower party

When planning to have a baby shower, it is best to talk to the expectant mother and her partner. Ask their opinion on when they wish to celebrate the event. If most of the guests have work during weekdays, hold the event on weekends. If you are planning to have it on weekends, mid-day is usually the preferred time. Have the party at night-time if the event is going to take place on weekdays. As for the place, most baby shower events are held in the house of the hostess. But if you have a huge budget, you can either choose to have it on a restaurant or a private resort; just make sure that you make reservations as early as 8 weeks before the party.

3. Choose a theme and for the party.

Planning a baby shower becomes easier when you have a theme for the event. It helps you decide and plan on invitations, foods, decorations, games, party favors, etc. Do not forget to ask the expectant couples about their preferred theme for the party.

4. Make a Guest List.

The expectant mother and father are the ones who should list the guests for the baby shower. Make sure that you have the address and phone number of each person included on the guest list. These will help you in mailing the invitations and updating the guests about the party.

5. Prepare the invitations.

In preparing the invitations, do not forget the four important details that you need to include. These are the names of the expectant parents, date, time, and place. When mailing the invites, make sure that you include when and where to RSVP, as well at the directions to the baby shower party.

6. Plan the food menu and beverages for the party.

Consider the number of guests attending the party, as well as the time when the party will be held. Decide on what foods to serve during the baby shower. You can have finger foods, cupcakes, and cookies. Stick to non-alcoholic drinks like fruit juices and sodas.

7. Arrange the tables, chairs, and utensils on the day of the baby shower.

Make sure that you have enough tables and chairs to accommodate all your guests. Prepare table napkins, condiments, and utensils. Make sure that all the foods and beverages are ready on the buffet area. And lastly, do not forget to have fun.

Suggestions on How to Come Up with a Splendid Baby Shower Gift Idea
