Orloj hotels
Orloj is not just a medieval clock; it is the oldest working astronomical clock in the world. Commissioned in 1410, Orloj endured periods of disrepair over time due to financial and economical difficulties. With each repair, updates in technology and appearance were added whilst the original design was retained. Prague's Astronomical Clock is a busy mechanism with three featured parts: The Walk of the Apostle at the top, The Clock Dial beneath it, and The Calendar at the bottom. In addition, mechanical elements, sculptures, and Prague symbolism and imagery are incorporated into the clock's design for educational and entertainment purposes.
- Gather outside Prague's Old Town City Hall at the change of the hour to see the performance put on by the apostles who reside within the top of the clock and come out when the clock chimes.
- Learn the details of the legend and curse of Hanus, who allegedly repaired and enhanced Orloj in 1490 before the city's governing officials put out his eyes so he could never duplicate it.
- Visit the Prague City Museum to see original pieces of Orloj that were replaced over the years of repairs but have been preserved for viewing.
To see Orloj, head to Old Town Square, in the oldest part of Prague. Travel by car is not the best way to go about since many streets in the area are narrow, cobblestone, and intended for pedestrians only. Public transportation and walking will prove the best combination of travel methods to get you to various local attractions. The Staromestska and Mustek Stations on the metro Line A will drop you within a few minutes' walk of Old Town Square and Orloj. Travellers from outside the region will find the Prague International Airport the most convenient to fly into.

Hwy. 47 traffic counters part of rountine process
People traveling the streets of Gothenburg last week may have seen devices such as the one pictured with what looks like a black hose from it across a street.
The device is a portable traffic counters. A hose is attached and extended across the road to count axles, according to Rick Ernstmeyer, traffic analysis supervisor, Planning and Project Development Division of the Nebraska Department of Roads.
"After the raw data is collected (generally for either a 24-or 48-hour period) it is factored to represent and Annual Average Daily Traffic volume," he said.
The DOR is required by the federal government to maintain a current traffic inventory on all classified highways and major streets and county roads.
These counts along Nebraska Highway 47 are being made as part of that routine continuing process.
"We generally get to each station once every several years," Ernstmeyer said.
Several uses of the information we collect are to help plan highway needs and determine design standards.
Counts in urban areas are forwarded to the individual city.
In the case of Gothenburg, once the data is in the system (generally about two months after the count has been taken), we are happy to share the results with anyone who asks, Ernstmeyer said.

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Bored With Acting, Wants an Empire Like Jessica Simpson
Gwyneth Paltrow is giving up showbiz for, well, business. A source says that after the 33 Dias actress wraps her next few films, she will focus on growing her lifestyle website, Goop, and the fitness company she co-owns with trainer Tracy Anderson.
PHOTOS: Gwyneth Paltrow through the years
Paltrow is hoping to emulate the career of another multitalented star: Jessica Simpson! "She admires Jessica's empire," the source says of the Academy Award winner, 40. "She wants to make a killing."
VIDEO: Gwyneth Paltrow exclaims: "I'm a lush!"
The two-time cookbook author's rep says she has no plans to give up acting altogether, telling the Feb. 25 issue of Us Weekly, "She won't quit acting. Her plan is to do one, maybe two supporting parts a year."
Even so, the source cautions, "She's lost her passion for movies."
For more on Paltrow's career shift, watch this week's Hot Stuff video, as explained by Us Weekly senior editor Ian Drew and special guest, acclaimed novelist Jackie Collins!

In "2 Fast 2 Furious," an underworld kingpin tortures a potential squealer by placing a rat on the guy's stomach, covering the rodent with a metal bucket, and heating it with a blowtorch – with the implication that the rat will chew through anything to get out. "Rats have really strong, powerful jaws and certainly will chew to get through things, including human flesh," says Dr. Joanne Paul-Murphy, special-species veterinary professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "The first thing the rat would do is try to squeeze out or chew through the bucket…though he might get frustrated and try to eat something else a little bit less resistant, which would be the person."

Junk mail rams message home
Relevant offers
Up to a kilo of junk mail is being shoved through letter boxes in Christchurch every week and industry experts say the amount is likely to grow, even though many retailers are now using email and the internet to push their products.
In an unscientific experiment The Press collected junk mail - or direct, or unaddressed, mail as the advertising industry prefers to call it - from several addresses across the city over a week-long period. The mail was then weighed to get a snapshot of the volume householders accumulated over a typical week.
The results show that some suburbs are more heavily bombarded with flyers, catalogues and free samples than others, with the total volume of junk mail received per household ranging from around half a kilo in less affluent suburbs to just over a kilo in some of the more affluent ones.
Dr Ekant Veer, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Canterbury, said the reason why Christchurch householders get so much junk mail is that it is a relatively cheap and effective way for companies to get their message out.
"With a 30-second TV add you can get one or two messages out there, but people switch off the TV and you don't know if it reaches them. With junk mail it gets into the house - it's been touched by someone and something on there might hit that person straight away and so something might stick. Once you get into the home, then you've got a better chance of engaging someone."
Veer said while companies might use TV, radio and social media to build their brand, direct mail was the most cost-effective way for them to get across lots of information to their customers.
"They use their TV or radio ad to build some sort of warmth and affection for the brand as a whole; they use their direct mail to try and sell."
Around 30 to 40 per cent of direct mail was kept or read compared with less than one per cent of online advertising material, so it was likely direct mail would continue to be heavily used as a marketing tool.
While some people did object to receiving it, many people loved it because it meant they could window shop from their own home.
"Direct mail is around to stay," Veer said.
Marketing Association public affairs director Keith Norris said despite the rise of digital offerings, direct mail usage had actually increased in recent years. It was popular because it worked, with many retailers attributing more than 30 per cent of their sales directly to their mailer and catalogue marketing.
Unaddressed mail was cost-effective, highly targeted and measurable. It had a consumer reach like no other media - up to 4.4 million people in just two days.
And recent research from Nielsen Media research showed that unaddressed mail was the preferred media for consumers in just about all shopping-related categories.
Historically unaddressed mail had been used by advertisers to generate foot traffic to their stores, but increasingly it was being used to drive traffic to advertisers' websites as well.
"Ultimately the physical catalogue will work in conjunction more and more with digital offerings as opposed to one being a straight replacement for the other," said Norris.
Recent new developments meant advertisers could now target catalogues extremely effectively, reducing wastage and increasing effectiveness.
If people did not want to receive unaddressed mail, a letterbox sign was the most effective way to stop it, as distributors were required under the Code of Practice for Distribution of Unaddressed Mail to honour mailbox stickers.
Green Party MP and spokeswoman on waste issues, Denise Roche, said huge volumes of paper were used each week producing junk mail and that did come at an environmental cost, but most junk mail was recyclable.
"If people want to do their bit to save the trees the best thing they could do is put a no-circulars sign on their letterbox," Roche said.
Another issue that needed to be addressed was the low remuneration those who delivered junk mail received. Often those making the deliveries were children who had been subcontracted to deliver the pamphlets and were paid a per piece rate which equated to far less than the minimum wage, Roche said.
When the junk mail arrives at the Spreydon home Sharla Drummond shares with her 12-year-old son Jaime Neale, it is a race to the letterbox.
The pair both enjoy poring over the seemingly endless stream of advertising material that arrives in the letterbox each day as it means they can hunt out the best bargains from the comfort of their living room.
"For me it's a bit like getting a free magazine," Drummond said.
"I make myself a cup of tea, sit down and have a bit of a rest while I read through them. I don't mind them at all."
Her son Jaime would often race her to the letterbox, she said.
"If there is mail out there he runs out to get it. He really loves looking through it, particularly the ones from The Warehouse.
"He gets quite a bit of pocket money but he likes to hunt out the bargains. He'll think and think about it until he gets a really good deal."
Drummond said that around Christmas time and Valentines Day the volume of junk mail got a bit excessive but she did not begrudge the retailers who advertise.
"You got to these days, don't you," she said.

When you first access a database table via a mask, a new table is created to hold the value of the current id. if you save a record via the mask, the value in this table is incremented.
If you populate or add to the table using external means (phpmyadmin manual insert, CSV import or maybe website inserts) then this value is not incremented causing the P4A application to crash complaining the id_seq is out of sync.
Is there a built-in solution to this situation?
No there isn't. I brought this up years ago.
Somewhere in the forum is code to reset the sequence table when it gets out of synch.
Fabrizio Balliano
you can use the p4a_db_source_resync_seq function here
but more easily use p4a function to get a new sequence number so you'd keep using the same sequence for all your inserts
otherwise look into P4A_AUTO_DB_SEQUENCES constant, it does what you need if you have autoincrements

What is a tax bracket?

2009 Chimp Cartoon Used in Lawsuit Against NY Post
Muslims aren't the only ones who thuggishly acquire political leverage by overreacting to cartoons. Fallout continues from a completely innocuous but inadvertently politically incorrect cartoon that ran more than four years ago:
The New York Post and its top editor must face a bias lawsuit brought by a woman who said she was fired for complaining about harassment at the newspaper and a political cartoon that some people said likened President Barack Obama to a chimpanzee.
In a decision made public on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield said Sandra Guzman, a former associate editor, may pursue her case against the Post and Editor-in-Chief Col Allan, though not against the newspaper's parent, News Corp.
The harassment consisted of "a sexually charged environment" — i.e., the usual he-said she-said squabbling about whether people behaved boorishly, which has no place in a courtroom.
[The judge] said Guzman, who is black and Puerto Rican, offered sufficient evidence that she faced "severe or pervasive harassment" based on her race and national origin, and might have kept her job but for objecting to a cartoon published on Feb. 18, 2009, that criticized a government stimulus package.
The cartoon, which ran soon after a chimpanzee chimped out and had to be killed by police:
Moonbats opportunistically chose to believe that the cartoon refers to Obama, although it is doubtful he personally wrote any stimulus bill. They managed to wring a foolish apology from Rupert Murdoch. They are still cashing in.
According to her employers,
Guzman was fired because the newspaper had closed its money-losing Tempo monthly, where she had worked, and that no other jobs were available for her. …
But the judge said there was an open question as to whether Guzman was fired because Tempo failed, and that evidence showed she could have been moved to an open, albeit lower-paying, job.
When some left-wing judge can dictate who will be employed and in what capacity at private companies, we have a serious problem. No more calling this the Land of the Free until we get it resolved.

Hit the water with Pumpabike
With the UK gripped by a heatwave, what better way to cool off by hitting the beach? Hitting the beach with a Pumpabike, of course.
Pumpabike is a "human powered hydrofoil" and is unlike anything we have seen before. The basic principle of the device is that you power the "bike" by bouncing – the hydrofoil aspect is used for propulsion and support in the water.
The documented speeds are a staggering 5-18mph – obviously as this is based on the hydrofoil principle, the minimum speed is needed so you don't just sink.
It combines leisure and sport at the same time, providing a unique experience, and more exciting than the current market leader in water leisure – the, um, peddelo (perhaps).
Pumpabike claims to be good in all conditions, so unlike windsurfing, you don't need to wait for the wind, and unlike waterskiing, you don't need a boat. What you do need, however, is a stretch of water, something that is becoming scarce in the UK's current drought (so I'm told).
The Pumpabike is constructed from plastic and aluminium, and looks like a Star Wars Imperial Speeder Bike. To get it going you need to push off with some forward momentum from a jetty or the starting stand, after that, your bouncing up and down takes care of the rest.
Luckily, Rocket Distribution are selling the Pumpabike for £599 – more details at www.rocketdistribution.com

Proposed school zones cause upset
Tell politicians what you want in educationShare your stories, photos and videos.

A public school turf war has broken out in the quiet Auckland suburbs of Greenlane and Remuera.
Parents from two elite Auckland public schools are up in arms after learning of a proposal to put them in an overlapping zone with two lower decile schools.
The Ministry of Education advised One Tree Hill College and Selwyn College to put enrolment schemes in place due to rapid roll growth.
Both schools are consulting with the community before submitting the schemes to the ministry for approval.
The proposed home zones would overlap with Epsom Girls Grammar School and Auckland Grammar School.
Parent Matthew Hooton owns a house in the proposed overlap and says the consultation has been "wholly unsatisfactory".
The process had been rushed and parents still didn't know the basis behind the zone overlap, he said.
Many parents were anxious that eventually these houses would be excluded from the Epsom Girls and Grammar zones, he said.
This had spurred a group of parents to inquire about taking legal action, Hooton said.
"You live in this area because you pay $100,000 more for your house so you can access Epsom Girls Grammar and Auckland Grammar School," he said.
"Any perceived threat to these zones will be met with fierce resistance."
However, in an email to parents this morning Epsom Girls Grammar principal Madeline Gunn said that the uncertain future of the school's zone could soon be decided.
"At the meeting we had with the ministry on Thursday assurance was given that the proposed shared zones would not be separated off at a later date by the ministry," Gunn said.
The school was waiting for written confirmation, she added.
Parent Jo Thomson has one child at Epsom Girls and another at Grammar. Her third child is set to attend Epsom Girls in 2016.
Being in the One Tree Hill College zone would be fine, as long as the right for her children to attend Epsom Girls and Grammar wasn't taken away, she said.
"It is a shame because this should be a reason for One Tree Hill to celebrate, but it is turning into a mud-slinging match," Thomson said.
This was because parents who lived in the Epsom Girls and Grammar zones had already made clear decisions which school they wanted their children to attend, she said.
"I know where I want my kids to go to school," she said.
"They are going to the public schools that achieve some of the very best academic results. Why would I want my child, given the choice, to go somewhere that doesn't."
Selwyn College and One Tree Hill College have both extended the submission period to 5pm on August 4.

Racial McCarthyism is alive and well in Barack Obama's America, where reckless liberals hurl baseless charges of racism at critics of the nation's first black president. Remember ex-president Jimmy Carter attributing "an overwhelming portion" of the fervent opposition to Obama's health-care bill to "the fact that he is a black man"? Or actress/activist Janeane Garofalo smearing the Tea Party phenomenon as being "about hating a black man in the White House . . . racism straight up"? Or for that matter Obama himself, predicting that Republicans would demonize him because "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills"?
Last week it was David Gregory's turn to play the race card. The host of NBC's "Meet the Press" accused Newt Gingrich of having used "coded, racially-tinged language" when he described Obama as a "food-stamp president" a few days earlier.
Actually Gingrich hadn't made anything like a racially-tinged remark, coded or otherwise. He had simply given his stump speech to a Republican audience in Georgia, during which he criticized Obama's limp economic record in these words:
"Do you want to be a country that creates food stamps -- in which case, frankly, Obama is an enormous success, the most successful food stamp president in American history? Or do you want to be a country that creates paychecks?"
Gregory played a video clip of that passage from Gingrich's speech, then demanded that the former speaker explain its supposed racial subtext. Gingrich couldn't believe Gregory was serious -- "Oh, come on, David! That's bizarre, this kind of automatic reference to racism." He pointed out that what he had said "is factually true: 47 million Americans are on food stamps. One out of every six Americans is on food stamps. And to hide behind the charge of racism!?"

This is an open letter to anyone concerned with the growing or shrinking of a body other than their own, particularly to the three middle-aged women who were recently rude enough to comment on my weight gain. I encourage you to consider that any woman struggling with her body could be overcoming an eating disorder, unmanageable stress (thus causing a change in eating, sleeping, fitness habits), the misfortune of a miscarriage, or simply a love/hate relationship with diet and exercise. Regardless it isn't your business and it certainly isn't your place to ask or comment.
I've put on some weight. This, I am aware of.
Going from the photo on the left to the photo on the right wasn't easy and it didn't happen overnight but hard work in the form of careful, very restrictive dieting and an intense workout regime got me there. The benefits were magnificent! I felt rejuvenated, young and hot! I had an energized excitement and more muscle definition than I'd ever previously had. I felt unstoppable!
Fast forward a few months and the reverse happened.
Still, it isn't your place to comment.
I am not asking for your opinion so please stop with the unwarranted and unnecessary "Wow! You've gained weight" comments; the highly offensive "How could you possibly have let yourself go?" questions; or my personal favorite the super intrusive "You better not be pregnant!" exclamations. Of course sometimes these phrases are masked as genuine interest or concern and said in more gentle ways, but we all know what the underlying message is - You look fat.
Take my word for it if you noticed, I noticed. I assure you, you didn't beat me to it.. Last summer's clothes did! But before I go any further I have to make one thing clear my body is my business!
This means that I don't owe you, whoever you may be, an explanation as to why I've gained or lost a pound, why my love handles are looking more like tires or anything else as it relates to my body.
But for the sake of this blog post and answering the questions of concerned citizens, curious minds, the nosy and everyone in between, I'll continue..
Like most women, I have struggled with my weight since before my first period. Yep, it started that young!
I've had comments and questions surrounding my fluctuating weight since moving to Florida in the eighth grade where curious childhood friends wondered how I dropped the baby fat to result-crazed naysayers and eating disorder enablers who don't believe healthy diet and exercise alone do enough and encourage fad diets, food group depletion and the ingestion of harmful, man-made products (No, thanks!).
As an adult I am accepting that without serious commitment and effort I'm not going to be happy with my body, but most importantly I won't feel well so on Monday of last week I decided to hit the local track to get back to basics. When it was over I sobbed a bit. I was devastated by how unraveled I'd become and disgusted with my inability to jog a single lap without stopping. Less than a week later I'm already seeing improvements. This weekend I jogged two laps without rest! (:
That being said I am hard enough on myself as is and I am not accepting outside views on my body because in case you were confused my body isn't here for your pleasure, acceptance or admiration. Not now, not ever!
'Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof

- was traded along with a pick for two minor leaguers who won't add any salary to Philly's cap.
Right there you have two ways to dump salary without taking salary back. Oilers could package a pick or prospect with a player to dump salary. If it costs a 2nd round pick (as was the case with the Gauthier salary dump) to make room for Hossa, that's not a heavy price to pay. Oilers could send a player or two (other than Roloson, who would count against the cap regardless) to the minors. The Oilers have a pile of guys on entry-level/low salary deals who would be available to slot into 4th line/bottom pairing/pressbox duty. They could also run with a 21 or 22-man roster to save up to 1+ M$ in cap space.
I wouldn't say all of these ideas are all necessarily ideal team-building, but this is far from "financially impossible" stuff.

Future Consumer Involvement in Environmental Protection
Over 50% of the U.S. general population expects to be more involved in protecting the environment in the future, slightly higher from 2007, according to research from the Natural Marketing Institute. This future projection combined with increased involvement, identifies care of the environment as a major trend continuing in 2009.
This personal environmental responsibility is resonating far beyond only LOHAS consumers, the 17% of U.S. adults identified as having the strongest environmental, social and corporate social responsibility values and behaviors.
As this core value continues to gain momentum, understanding the importance of how this value manifests itself in the marketplace is vital for new product developers, marketers, and business strategists across industries.

If someone told you that soap is better than the shampoo, would you use soap instead of shampoo? If someone told you that soap is better for the environment than the shampoo, but not for your skin, would you use it? Human beings are the most selfish race in this planet, in my opinion. Especially the western people, we learnt the Bible since we were little children, and everything in the Bible seems as the truth for us. God say we are the master of this planet and all the other races are existed for us. Then we just do everything to prove it. We cut down the tree, we hunt animals, and that is us who make several races to be extinct.
In the last two or three decades, some of us began to care about the planet we live in. They raised our attention to the topic of environmental protection. Most of us take part in the movement of protecting our earth, but the environmental protection is not only the words which are printed on the rubber wristbands, it is the action; it is what we do in the daily life. It is more convenient to take a taxi than take the bus, but the mass transportation is obviously better for the environment. But how many people would care about it? To drink water is good for our health and could reduce the pollution which would be produced by the process of producing the drinks, but we would like to have a tie of Cola than a glass of water. To be vegetarian would save more food for the people in Africa, but we would like to have the beef steak rather than the vegetable salad. Only the one who wants to keep fit would have the vegetarian diet. These little things could help to improve the environment situation. But we failed to do them.

Curious career move, following your best album with your worst, though it could be blamed on expectation, too. What other explanation is there when the much-promised "rock-and-roll record" neither rocks nor rolls but merely drifts from song to song in search of a memorable melody to anchor it? The best you can say is that it sounds like a mishmash of all those old U2 records you used to dig but rarely dig out. Half the intros sound like Joshua Tree-Unforgettable Fire codas, reproduced and then overproduced. Come to think of it, that's also the worst thing you can say about How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, too. Been there, bought that. What else ya got, Mr. Vox?
Those who gave All That You Can't Leave Behind extra weight post-September 11, 2001--when songs like "Walk On," "Peace on Earth" and "New York," among others, sounded eerily prescient and eventually a little comforting--missed the point that it was a great record on September 10, too, brisk and catchy and more at ease with itself than any previous U2 offering. It had gravitas, accidentally so, but also grace. Not so with How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which begins with a bang ("Vertigo") before settling into a groove bordering on torpor. Ten listens through and still nothing sticks to the bone--not the melodies (dull, waiting only for Wim Wenders to stick them over a movie's end credits), not the guitar lines (Edge sampling Edge, or Boy turned Old Man), not the lyrics ("Freedom has a scent/Like the top of a newborn baby's head"--really?) and certainly not the guy singing them (is self-parody any better than someone else's?). Sounds like something recorded in a studio located in a bank's basement.

You're in jail till you reach 95: Convicted killer Ian McLoughlin jailed for murder of Good Samaritan Graham Buck
Paul Peachey
Paul Peachey is Crime Correspondent at the Independent
Crime Correspondent
Monday 21 October 2013
A convicted murderer will spend the next 40 years in prison after fatally stabbing a Good Samaritan who rushed to help a wealthy neighbour from being robbed.
Ian McLoughlin, 55, was sentenced at the Old Bailey for homicide for the third time after plunging a knife into the neck of Graham Buck as he responded to cries for help from his elderly neighbour, a convicted paedophile who had served time in prison with the killer.
Mr Buck, a father-of-three, managed to stagger to his home two doors away despite the gaping wound but died on the front lawn with his dog at his side, the court heard. In police interview, McLoughlin told officers: "I'm not sorry for what I did to the nonce, but I'm sorry for what I did to the pensioner."
Mr Buck's relatives were in court today as McLoughlin – who killed the 66-year-old on his first day release after serving 21 years in prison – admitted murder and was jailed for life. Mr Buck's wife Karen mouthed "yes" as Mr Justice Sweeney said he would serve a minimum of 40 years behind bars.
In a statement to the court, she said that her life had been turned upside down by her husband's death. "There was no need kill him. He wasn't a big man, if he got in the way he could just have been pushed over or even knocked out," according to the statement.
She said killing him was the most "senseless, vicious" act of violence possible that had devastated his family. "We will be left with that thought and of his pain and suffering for the rest of our lives," according to her statement.
McLoughlin was let out for a day from Spring Hill Prison for the first time in 21 years when he went to Francis Cory-Wright's home in Little Gaddesden, Herts, determined to rob him. McLoughlin demanded "gold and silver" from Mr Cory-Wright, released earlier this year after serving time for abusing a 10-year-old boy, then tied him up as he filled a pillow case with heirlooms.
As McLoughlin dragged his loot downstairs, Mr Cory-Wright managed to struggle free and called for help from a window. Mr Buck, 66, heard his cries for help and went to his aid, but was dragged inside and stabbed with a dagger leaving a hole the size of a fist, the Old Bailey was told.
McLoughlin had killed twice before - the first time in 1984 when he hit Len Delgatty, 49, over the head with a hammer several times after a row, and left his body in a cupboard. He was jailed for 10 years for manslaughter at the Old Bailey, reduced to eight years on appeal.
After his release, he went to live in Brighton, where barman Peter Halls, 55, offered him work. McLoughlin said he assumed Mr Halls was gay, and thought that he may be expected to sleep with him. He stabbed Mr Halls to death after he claimed that he confessed to liking young boys and took holidays in Morocco for under-age sex, the court heard. In 1992 he was jailed for 25 years for murder.

Defense of Marriage Act: Update to Prior Report
GAO-04-353R: Jan 23, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4800
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) provides definitions of "marriage" and "spouse" that are to be used in construing the meaning of a federal law and, thus, affect the interpretation of a wide variety of federal laws in which marital status is a factor. In 1997, we issued a report identifying 1,049 federal statutory provisions classified to the United States Code in which benefits, rights, and privileges are contingent on marital status or in which marital status is a factor. In preparing the 1997 report, we limited our search to laws enacted prior to September 21, 1996, the date DOMA was signed into law. Recently, Congress asked us to update our 1997 compilation. We have identified 120 statutory provisions involving marital status that were enacted between September 21, 1996, and December 31, 2003. During the same period, 31 statutory provisions involving marital status were repealed or amended in such a way as to eliminate marital status as a factor. Consequently, as of December 31, 2003, our research identified a total of 1,138 federal statutory provisions classified to the United States Code in which marital status is a factor in determining or receiving benefits, rights, and privileges.

During your pregnancy, you may start to think of all the ways that you can give your baby a great start in life. This might involve bringing in toys and stuffed animals to encourage your infant to get the gears working in his or her little head. While everyone has an opinion as to what does and doesn't work, one thing is for certain - it's never too soon to start helping your baby learn. Specifically, many parents can't wait for their infant to start saying his or her first words.
Walking and talking are two of the biggest moments you're likely looking forward to after your pregnancy calendar comes to an end. Every child learns these activities in his or her own time, but there are some tactics you can use to encourage your baby during his or her first year. Can't wait for your son or daughter to mutter the words, "Mama" or "Dada?" Here are a few tips for helping your infant inch closer to these memorable moments in your lives.
Don't rule out baby talk
Sure, people might stare at you in public when you're making silly faces or saying incomprehensible words to your little one. However, "baby talk" may help your child communicate more efficiently - and eventually with words - sooner rather than later. "Baby talk" tends to be high-pitched, according to Psychology Today magazine, which can grab the attention of infants. Unlike normal adult rhythm and sound, infants are likely to learn more from "baby talk" while they're focused. While it may sound funny to people around you, your newborn is holding onto phonemes - basic speech - while you make conversation with your child. There's no need to be ashamed!
Talk frequently to your baby
Even if your infant doesn't understand what you're saying, it's important to recognize that you're getting through to him or her. Your baby is still hearing your voice, engaging in eye contact and learning the basics of human communication. Think about sitting down with your child and cracking open a book. Reading to your baby can expose him or her to new rhythms and sounds. Over time, you may begin to notice your baby making small sounds of his or her own. Eventually, these will evolve into words!
Tell your baby about his or her surroundings
It may seem pointless to provide an explanation to your newborn, but iVillage, a female advice website, states that doing so can be beneficial as you teach your baby words. Take the time to explain to your child what you're doing with him or her, whether it's changing a diaper or putting on clothing. If you have your baby around while you're cooking or cleaning around the house, tell him or her about it. This can not only help your baby learn words, but grasp what's to come when you use certain phrases in the future.
Make conversation
Just because your baby doesn't know how to use words yet doesn't mean he or she won't try to communicate with you! Rather than just directing sentences to your infant, wait for responses from him or her. Allow your child to make noises and respond to the phrases you say. Over time, you'll help your newborn learn more about pronouncing words of his or her own. Your little one will be talking in no time!
How have you encouraged your little one to say his or her first words in the past? Do you consider "baby talk" to be helpful? Leave your feedback in the comments section!
