The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Posted: 2013-08-20 11:01:29 By: by Stephanie Oppenheim Here's our chat with one of the bright new stars in toyland, Goldie Blox founder Debra Sterling. SO: People always are intrigued when I tell them that I play with toys for a living, I imagine you get much the same response? DS: I always get excited when people ask me what I do for a living because it inevitably raises eyebrows (in a good way). SO: How did you become interested in toys? SO: Your focus is getting girls to build. SO: Having an idea and getting it to market are two different things. SO: Were you surprised by the overwhelming support you received on Kickstarter? SO: From my point of view - in an ideal world boys and girls would play with the same toys. SO: As a child did you play with mostly pink toys? SO: Once you've conquered building sets for girls, are you going to include sets for boys? SO: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

5 Educational Apps for Kids | Techrony Home > Apps > 5 Educational Apps for Kids My daughter was a mere year old when the first iPhone hit the market, and she was quite capable of operating my phone better than my husband by the time she was two. The phone became our default device if she was bored in public, so I soon loaded my phone up with apps for kids. But we didn’t select “fun” games; while 90% of American kids are gamers (according to the Kids and Gaming report by NPD Group), we wanted her to use it as a learning tool instead of simple entertainment (at least until she’s on to us), so we chose educational apps instead. Four years (and three generations of phones) later, there are so many great teaching apps for kids that my kid has learned counting, spelling, and basic math with my phone. A number of gaming hubs and websites offer a variety of iPhone games and Android games, many of which happen to offer a fun “edutainment” benefit to kids. So what are the best educational apps?

A Novel Mechanism Regulating Stress is Identified Neuroscience researchers from Tufts identify potential target for drug therapy for wide range of disorders associated with stress Neuroscience researchers from Tufts have demonstrated, for the first time, that the physiological response to stress depends on neurosteroids acting on specific receptors in the brain, and they have been able to block that response in mice. This breakthrough suggests that these critical receptors may be drug therapy targets for control of the stress-response pathway. This finding may pave the way for new approaches to manage a wide range of neurological disorders involving stress. The stress-control pathway, more technically known as the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, determines the levels of cortisol and other stress hormones in the human body. “We have identified a novel mechanism regulating the body’s response to stress by determining that neurosteroids are required to mount the physiological response to stress.

Napoleon Hill's 17 Principles of Personal Achievement - SUCCESS magazine Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. Lesson 1: Definiteness of Purpose Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. Without a purpose and a plan, people drift aimlessly through life. Related: Answer 6 Questions to Reveal Your Life Purpose Lesson 2: Mastermind Alliance The Mastermind principle consists of an alliance of two or more minds working in perfect harmony for the attainment of a common definite objective. Lesson 3: Applied Faith Faith is a state of mind through which your aims, desires, plans and purposes may be translated into their physical or financial equivalent. Lesson 4: Going the Extra Mile When you go the extra mile, the Law of Compensation comes into play. Going the extra mile is the action of rendering more and better service than that for which you are presently paid.

Tolstoy’s Reading List: Essential Books for Each Stage of Life by Maria Popova Even if one could never “finish” great literature, one has to begin somewhere. Shortly after his fiftieth birthday, Leo Tolstoy succumbed to a deep spiritual crisis and decided to pull himself out by finding the meaning of life. But despite his wide and prolific reading, Tolstoy did consider specific books especially important and influential in his development. Under the heading “WORKS WHICH MADE AN IMPRESSION,” Tolstoy divides his reading list into five distinct life-stages — beginning with childhood and ending with his age at the time — and ranks each title by excellence, from “great” to “v. great” to “enormous.” That only two known women figure in Tolstoy’s list is, one would imagine, less a function of his bias than of his era’s and his culture’s — though the latter certainly shape the former. “Great”: “V. great”: The Little Black Hen (public library) by Pogorelsky “Enormous”: The novels of Mrs. Les Misérables (public library) by Victor Hugo Donating = Loving
