We live in a world in which everything is important. Like studies, sports are also important in one’s life. It is also said that “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy.” So “sports” is very important in one’s life. It helps us to remain healthy and fit. Everyone likes to play different types of sports and games.


There are a lot of other sports that are also played. These games are played with great enjoyment. Each game has its rules and regulations. If a person doesn’t play games, he/she doesn’t succeed in his/her life. Basketball is one of the most played games these days. It helps in keeping a person fit and healthy. This game has many other benefits also. Like:

 

  • Strong Body: Carrying a ball and running in the stadium builds up a strong body. It develops muscles.
  • Weight Loss: As in this game, the player has to run to snatch the ball from the opponent and carry the ball along with him, the calories get burnt. More is the burning of calories; more is the weight loss.
  • Stamina and Height: This game increases the stamina and height of a person. We all can see that most of the basketball players are taller in height.
  • Mental Development: This game requires a healthy mind and no game can be played without planning a strategy. So, playing basketball also helps in mental development.

This game needs a basketball hoop, a ball, and a stadium or ground for playing. There are different types of basketball hoops. One such hoop is “In Ground Basketball Hoops”.

There are two traditional feasts that Filipino families often look forward to during Christmastime: the Christmas Eve Noche Buena and the one that follows on the 25th itself, which is often held as part of a festive family reunion. Either way, expect those in charge of preparing the dishes to pull out all the stops to serve the most delectable food on the table for everyone to enjoy.

And if that happens to be you, chances are high that you already have some recipes in mind to make each of these feasts a gastronomic delight to remember. They might even be all-time family favorites or even hand-me-downs from your great-great-grandparents. Having said that, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to learn a few more recipes just to keep things fresh and put something different on the table for Christmas. Two that are guaranteed to make you look like Master Chef are Meatballs in Black Truffle Sauce and Three-Cheese Truffle Macaroni and Cheese.

The recipes are as follows:

Meatballs in Black Truffle Sauce


Ingredients
• 2 slices white bread crusts removed, broken into pieces
• scant 2/3 cup whole milk
• 2 1/4 cups finely minced ground beef (or a mixture of meats, such as pork, chicken, or turkey)
• 1/2 cup meat pâté
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Plain all-purpose flour, for dusting
• Olive oil for frying
FOR THE BLACK TRUFFLE SAUCE
• 1 tablespoon + 2 tsp butter
• A drizzle of olive oil
• 1 bunch spring onions scallions, finely chopped
• 1 carrot finely chopped
• 1 heaped cup button or oyster mushrooms finely chopped
• 3 1/2 tablespoon plain all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 2 cups beef chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
• 1/2 cup double heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon Umbria Black Truffle Sauce


Instructions
1. Place the bread in a bowl and pour over the milk. Set aside to soak.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the meat and the pâté. Add the soaked bread and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Form meatballs by rolling walnut-sized pieces of the mixture between your hands. They should be about 1oz each. Dust the meatballs in flour.

3. Heat some oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs just until they are golden. Do not overcook at this stage as we are going to finish them in the sauce. Set aside.

4. To make the sauce, heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat and add the finely chopped spring onions, carrot,s and mushrooms. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the onion is transparent. Reduce the temperature to low and add the flour to the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to make a roux. Cook for about 4 minutes and then add the wine, continuing to stir until you get a paste and the alcohol has evaporated, then add the stock with the salt and rosemary. Keep stirring and cooking until the sauce thickens, then add the cream, stirring so that the mixture doesn’t split or curdle. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes.

5. Put Umbria Black Truffle Sauce into the sauce, mix and fold and serve hot.

It was a decade ago when the Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN), one of the most active Philippine-Based community of bloggers and influencers in the country, held its first-ever Thanksgiving Party in a hotel in Quezon City.

This coming December 12, FBN will hold its 10th Annual Thanksgiving Party virtually to reacquaint with fellow members around the country and reminisce 120 months of challenges and cheers; 3,650 days of networking; countless stories and priceless memories.

Although the gathering will still be online just like last year, FBN members anticipate the annual get-together as an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while, not to mention the chance of winning some exciting prizes from the games and raffle draws. Representatives of different PR groups and brands will also grace the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.

FBN currently has around 2,000 members across the country and abroad and continues to expand as it provides a venue for Filipino bloggers to interact with other members, even those based overseas. Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from several brands are co-admins Divine Reyes and Richard Mamuyac and Lariza Garcia.

This year’s celebration is supported by the following generous sponsors:

Your child may want to undertake A Levels but may not wish to remain at their school to do so. This is fine – for many young adults, this is a healthy decision and a way to make changes in their life.


Meeting new friends, having a new routine and journey to school can be very refreshing for children and if your child would like to choose a new school or college for sixth form, it’s important that you take their request seriously.


Visits are vital

Make sure to find out when the sixth form has open days for parents and pupils. Book a spot and attend with your child. This senior school in Middlesex takes these open days very seriously and it’s a chance for parents and pupils alike to see the environment and meet the staff.


This first look is important as it will give you both a chance to assess the school and the amenities.


Your child might have a strong reaction to one school and not to another so it’s important to book a few visits.

Arts & crafts are a vital part of a child’s education. Some children take to arts more easily than others but all can enjoy the various activities when they’re presented in a fun way.


Arts & crafts support children’s cognitive learning and their hand-eye coordination in addition to developing creativity. For children who tend towards highly-strung, arts & crafts offer a great way for them to relax.


There are many activities which you can do with your child at home to support their skills and enjoyment in this area. Here are some ideas for preschoolers.


  • Finger painting – let them go wild; kids love the sensory feeling of dipping their hands into paint and if you give them permission to do it, they’ll participate with gusto. Just put down a plastic sheet and ensure your child is wearing old clothes!


  • Sticking – it doesn’t matter what they’re sticking to so much as they have a chance to do it. You can use a glue stick to avoid too much mess! Let your child cut out some pictures from an old magazine and make a collage or let them stick bits and bobs from your sewing box onto an old tissue box to make a treasure chest. Good items for sticking include lace, buttons, sequins and trims.


  • Model making – whether you use clay, papier-mache, or just old boxes, there’s a real joy for children to be found in making a model. They can make robots fairly easily out of boxes, houses or cars also make a good choice. Help them make a model of their favourite animal from old newspaper and paste or for simplicities sake, make snakes from air-drying clay and paint them after they’re dry!


As your child grows, explore different mediums with them. Older children might enjoy crochet, patchwork, woodwork, and embroidery in addition to watercolour painting or sketching.


Your child’s school will usually have a robust arts curriculum – like this independent girls’ school in Surrey. At schools like this, the arts are seen as vital to children’s development.

The big day is almost upon you and you can scarcely believe it but your child is due to start school! This is a momentous occasion and both you and your child might feel nervous about the changes. That’s natural – what’s important is that you don’t show nerves to your child.


It’s also important not to build things up too much – don’t make a big fuss about it or your child will worry that it’s going to be a big shock. Discuss the changes with your child and what they can expect but keep the conversation light.


Common issues

There are many common issues that small children find tricky about the transition to big school, here are just a few.


  • Toilets – will they be big or scary? Can your child manage alone?


  • Lunchtime – if your child is a fussy eater or doesn’t like to sit still, it’s important to discuss lunchtime expectations with them. Slow eaters should be given packed lunches which are easily managed – for example, don’t pack a whole apple because it will take your child too long to eat, instead, cut it up for them and add a little lemon juice to keep it fresh.


  • Staying hydrated – ensure your child knows what their water bottle looks like and where to find it.


  • Missing you – this is the hardest one of all and there are a number of ways in which to tackle it. Reassure your child that you will be there or their caregiver will be there at the end of the day. Give them a handkerchief with your perfume on it.


The transition to big school can be a lot of fun but there will be natural challenges along the way.


Good schools like this day nursery in Kensington have a strong pastoral care team who are well used to dealing with the common issues which may arise and they will support your child all the way.

Social skills are just like the other skills which children need to learn such as reading, writing, running, speaking and so forth.


Some children are naturally good at socialising and others aren’t. For some children, social skills just develop slower than other children’s and you needn’t worry or stress about it because it often ‘rights itself’ as the child gets older. Here are some top tips for helping your child to develop their social skills:


  • Ensure they have plenty of interaction with other children, this might be through clubs and playgroups or playdates with friends.

  • Encourage good manners in day-to-day life, no pushing, no grabbing and always please and thank you.

  • Encourage good listening skills; for children to succeed on the playground they must be able to hear others’ wishes and worries or they won’t be seen as a good playmat.

  • Good sportsmanship is vital and that means no tears upon losing a board game! Help your child to understand that you win some, you lose some! A good way around this is to stop letting them win at every board game because that’s not a natural state of affairs.


If your child’s teacher has mentioned that your child isn’t slotting in very well, it’s important that your child is supported to gain the correct skills to enable them to make friends. This independent school in Surrey has a robust pastoral care system so that children who might struggle, don’t for long!


Speak with your child’s teacher to gain insight into where your child needs more support. It might be that they’re shy or that they’re a little bossy – ask the teacher for tips on supporting your child’s development in these areas. Most teachers are well-versed in this and will gladly help you.

Need help finding quality Pidegree Medical grade gloves that protect against viruses, infections, and diseases? We've got you covered. Get everything you need to know before making your next purchase.


What are Medical Grade Gloves?

Medical grade gloves, sometimes called exam grade gloves, were first designed for non-surgical procedures. Now, they are used in all areas of health care, from medical research labs to operating rooms.


A higher standard of testing is required based on the acceptable quality limits (AQL) that are determined by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Gloves with fewer defects have a lower AQL score.


Exam grade gloves require an AQL of 2.5 or less, with only a few gloves detected with defects. The glove quality must be high enough to protect against infections and diseases. Manufacturers must also receive a 510K certification.


Who Uses Medical Grade Exam Gloves?

Medical grade gloves are worn by surgeons during surgery, medical lab technicians when handling hazardous materials and chemicals, and other medical personnel who might need protection. Exam-grade gloves are a vital form of protection for any industry with exposure to biological hazards. This ranges from caregivers, tattoo artists, and aestheticians to janitors, housekeeping staff, and childcare providers.


Anyone who comes into direct contact with blood pathogens or bodily fluids while caring for people or animals is required to wear exam gloves. Exam grade gloves are considered a necessity in areas with a higher risk of potential exposure. They effectively reduce the chances of becoming infected with blood-borne pathogens after contact.



With so much desire and demand for impressive hair, the hair market has seen an influx of numerous types of virgin hair weave, all of which are charming. A lot of virgin hair weaves are gorgeous, but virgin Malaysian hair is just one of a handful that stands apart from the others. If you want to wear hair with unbelievable smoothness and silkiness, you should keep virgin Malaysian hair in your shopping cart. What is Malaysian hair?


Like the name suggests, Malaysian hair comes from South East Asia. The hairs are obtained from women of Malaysian descent by means of donations made at Malaysian holy places in exchange for money. On unusual occasions, this hair is given away voluntarily, absolutely free. It is widely regarded as one of the best because of its texture; they typically have a lustrous appearance and come in a variety of designs to meet a variety of needs. The most popular or typically purchased ones are straight, body waves, and kinky curly hair. Unlike various other sorts of hair, virgin Malaysian hair will commonly not crinkle when wet. After shampooing, the hair might have a mild wave, but its texture will continue to be straight with great deals of body and bounce. With its sleek, luxurious texture and just the right amount of shine, Malaysian hair is known to mix effectively with the majority of hair kinds.

Music is a part of our culture and can be enjoyed by all ages. But as children grow up, they often stop playing an instrument or singing in the choir because of the time commitment required to learn new skills. Online violin lessons are available for students to continue their music education from the comfort of home!


What Are the Benefits of Music Lessons for Kids?

Music lessons are beneficial for every child, regardless of age or skill level. Some benefits include:

  • Improved concentration and focus

  • Self-confidence in public speaking opportunities

  • Developmental skills that can lead to other academic success down the road (fostering creativity & problem solving)


How Do I Find a Good Instructor?

The best way to find an excellent instructor is through online reviews and recommendations from friends, family members, or colleagues. You’ll want to find somewhere that has a staff of highly qualified music teachers with years of teaching experience.


What Types of Instruments Are Most Popular With Kids?

The most popular instruments vary depending on the child’s age and interests. However, some general trends include:

  • Piano & keyboard lessons for young children

  • Violin lessons for elementary school-age children

  • Vocals for high school students and adult

Quality time is a vital aspect of a family's strong ties. So every family has to make time for each other despite their busy schedules. In this case, being at the beach can be one of your options to have a good time with your family. You can do fun activities and enjoy the heat. You only have to pack up your things and travel to the beach.


Family time is your chance to create more happy memories together. Doing fun things with them at the beach is an excellent way to achieve it. Given this point, start choosing the activities you want to do while on travel to the beach. On the other hand, you can also select before the scheduled date.

 


Cocktail hours, whether for work or a social gathering outside of the daily grind, should be fun for everyone attending.  Although it can be hard to settle on one type of music or musician, hiring living musical talent can turn everything around and make this gathering into something nobody can stop talking about!


What Type of Mood Do You Want to Set?

What’s the cocktail gathering for, and what type of mood do you want people to have while they're drinking together?  Of course, not every gathering has to be themed, but are you going for something that's supposed to feel classy, or would it be better if the meeting was more casual?

 

Consider what the people who are attending expect and what type of clothing will be worn to the gathering.


How Large Is The Space?

Is the cocktail hour space being held going to be a small room or a large open space?  The type of musicians you hire depends on how much sound you'll need to fill a space.  Finding a violinist for hire can be enough for a small space, but for large venues, you may be better off with a quartet or band.

 

This is both because you don't want to drown out the conversations with music and also because the band will take up space.  If there isn't enough room for them to perform, having them there isn't going to make the gathering any better.


What Budget Do You Have?

How much money do you have for the entertainment budget?  This is a part of planning that many overlooks, but your budget matters.  If you can only afford one or two performers, don't try to talk large groups into giving you a discount.  Some performers will accept tips as part of their payment, but not all will so don't hold them to this if they don't want to work for discounted rates.

 

A general performer will charge anywhere from fifty to two hundred dollars an hour, so plan accordingly and try to hire as early as possible so that you can save up and budget for this amount.


How To Find Musicians

Finding musicians seems difficult, but it’s far easier than you’d expect.  Musical talent can be found in multiple ways, the easiest of which is word of mouth.  Let people in your social groups know that you’re looking for a performer for a small gathering.  If nobody you know is a musician, they may pass it on so that someone else they know can contact you.  Consider posting on social media that you’re looking for musicians as well.

 

If you don't want to seek out performers this way, the best way to ensure you get the largest assortment of musicians is to search on gig sites.  These sites will allow you to sort talent by their price, location, or availability and will give you the chance to be picky about who you hire. 


Make sure to book as far in advance as possible to ensure you get who you want.  If you put it off, you may find they get booked by someone else before you can hire them.

 


Nothing beats the feeling of a Power Parent when they witness their baby in their most active state. For each likot, kembot, and galaw that baby does, it instantly sends a rush of happiness especially at a time when everything around you seems out of control.


When active play and learning is encouraged, it stimulates baby for their next level of development. Babies also have a natural way of expressing their needs. Emotions and thoughts are voiced through movement. Similarly, babies are also always curious. When they see adults dance and sing to music, their natural reaction is to move to the beat. Dancing promotes body coordination, motor skills, and strength. It   stimulates almost every area of baby’s brain, encouraging the cognitive development growth.


An active baby is a happy, and comfortable baby. When baby isn’t as active, it might be caused by uncomfortable triggers like rashes. That’s why Power Parents choose the NEW Pampers Pants with Rash Shield! The NEW Pampers Rash Shield protection is now powered by Lotion with ALOE! This helps babies have good skin and overall health, so they can be active and comfortable to kembot, any time of the day.


Only Pampers Pants can keep babies all-around protected from rashes because of the elevated skin health proposition, Rash Shield with ALOE ingredient, improved leak, skin protection cues and wider diaper perception, and new fresh aloe scent. Now, baby can dance freely and explore with Pampers’ improved protection from rashes and leaks.

It's been more than a year since the global pandemic hits us and as we move forward, we need to adapt to the "new normal".  Some places are starting to slowly reopen businesses, public areas, and more.  Restrictions are being lifted in some places but it doesn't mean that the covid-19 is already gone completely. Now, more than ever, it's important that we must protect ourselves and other people around us.


I discovered Defensil one time when I went to buy essential stocks at the supermarket.  I love the scent and the price is reasonable too.


Defensil Isopropyl Alcohol encourages Filipinos to live safe with many establishments slowly re-opening and allowing people to resume their pre-pandemic lifestyles.


Because our daily lives make us touch a lot of things, regular disinfection of hands and high touch surfaces is a necessity to protect you and your family while slowing the spread of the virus. How can we protect ourselves and our family as we get back to work, school, or doing essential errands?


With the nationwide vaccination program in full force, Filipinos can slowly enjoy various activities such as more dining options as well as doing physical activities by going to the gym. However, health experts continue to remind everyone to not let their guards down even as we gradually go back to normal. 



Are you also wondering when will the pandemic be over? As there are reports of new and potentially more contagious variants, everyone must remain vigilant through following established health protocols and getting vaccinated so we can all continue to live safe and prevent the cases from surging again.

It is not for the faint of heart to work on a vehicle. To get the job done, you must need strength, patience, and commitment.  There could be a variety of situations or circumstances that necessitate the use of vehicle lifts.


Some of the benefits of having an auto lift are as follows:


Organized garage space

Parking lots, car storage areas, garages, and auto repair shops all have limited space. A one-car garage is standard in the majority of homes. If your family has two cars, you will not be able to park them in a one-car garage. With auto lifts, you can store vehicles while saving floor space. It can help you make the most of your garage space. You can also park your second car beneath your first car using an auto lift. 


Easier vehicle maintenance

The worst part about doing a task for people who own motorcycles or work on motorcycles is that everything requires you to kneel, stoop, or lie down to work on this type of vehicle. The use of auto lifts makes maintaining and repairing the underside of your vehicle much easier. Accessing underneath the vehicle makes it easier for car mechanics to repair, replace, adjust, or remove oil. These lifts not only can simply work but also provide satisfaction. That's why motorcycle lifts at bestbuyautoequipment.com offer the perfect fit for any kind of motorcycle.

Being a part of a community can be a source of empowerment for a child. Allowing them to feel a sense of belonging and love. It's important to exercise an active community involvement with your child from an early age to forge connections and help them in developing their own identity.

 

A nursery in Shoreditch shares more on the importance of community involvement for children.

 



Fine motor skills are responsible for many of our everyday activities from enjoying our favourite pasta to catching up with our friends over social media. To help your child develop the small muscles found in their hands and feet, there are many activities that you can do together. 

 

We have partnered with a pre-prep school in Hertfordshire to share a list of activities that you can do with your child to strengthen their fine motor skills.

 


Communication skills are perhaps some of the most vital skills for your child to develop. They allow for full integration into society in forming friendship groups and excelling in the world of work. We have joined a literacy consultancy firm to share how you can help your child with their communication skills.

You look at the mirror, and you don't like what you're seeing. You feel heavier than usual. You feel like you're moving slower than you used to. You're not used to this, and you're starting to feel bad about yourself.


It's been over a year, and you realize you gained weight during the pandemic. And you're starting to hate yourself for it.


Don't. You're not the only person in the world who gained weight during the pandemic. According to a study published in the journal The Obesity Society, 27% of people around the world believed they gained weight following the lockdown. This includes obese people, with 33% of them saying they gained even more weight.


According to the study, this could be due to people's unhealthy behavior in response to the pandemic. Stress and anxiety levels shoot up due to the pandemic, which caused people to eat unhealthily. And, because of stress, people felt a lot better by giving into their sweet cravings. It also causes people insomnia and interrupted sleep.


Because of the stay-at-home orders, people also tend to move less. Because of the remote work setup, there is limited time to go outdoors for physical activity. There is also less time in the daily commute. Because of this, people tend to be stuck in front of their desks and work eight hours a day with limited breaks. The usual hustle and bustle pre-pandemic routine has now turned into a sedentary lifestyle.


This response to a difficult situation like the pandemic is normal. But, experts can't help but worry about the kind of lifestyle people are in these days. It could be high time we all look into our weight before it takes its toll on our mental health.

The floors in your home can receive a lot of abuse over the years, especially when you have children and pets. They are often overlooked until they get so worn and tatty that we must replace them. If your flooring is starting to look tired and worn and needs replacing, you will want to consider what you will replace it with, but it may be best left till the springtime. There are many excellent reasons for this, and below are some of these reasons to give you the best chance of grabbing a superb deal and having a beautiful floor installed in your home.


Save Money When Buying Flooring In The Spring

We all like to save money on the things we buy, and the best time of the year to purchase new flooring for your home is in the spring. You will find that many of the manufacturers of flooring materials will release new products at this time of year, and they will also often discontinue older products. As such, you can usually pick these discontinued lines up cheaply, and they will still look fantastic in your home. By purchasing flooring materials from the previous discontinued line, you can make a significant saving on the cost of replacing your floors and make your house look like great.

When you decide to update your family home, you will most likely have your kids in mind and will try to create a home that your entire family will adore. However, there are many steps that you need to take before your project can be finished, and here are some tips on how to make renovations less stressful.


1.    Find the Right Materials

The first step that you should take when creating a home that your kids will love is to find the right materials for your project. If you choose the first materials that you come across, you may find that they are not fit for their purpose and that they are of a low quality. You should try to find companies that offer high-quality materials that will allow you to bring your vision for your kid-friendly home to life. For instance, if you are planning to landscape the garden, you should visit arbourlandscapesolutions.co.uk to browse their range of tools and equipment, such as artificial grass for your children to play on.


2.    Speak to Your Kids

Although you might have an idea of what their perfect home might be, you should make sure that you get your kids involved in the project, too. They might have out-of-the-box ideas such as painting the exterior of your home in bright, clashing colors; or they might also have genius ideas that will allow you to create a home that they will love, rather than one that you think that they will. By speaking to your kids, you can start to create a plan which everyone has contributed to and which you are all happy with—rather than upsetting your kids by changing aspects of your home that they love already.

Contrary to how people think that your art cannot feed you, there will always be a demand for artsy things that you can take advantage of. People love to shop for things that look pretty, especially items that can be customized as opposed to ready-made products. Along with this, the internet has also improved to accommodate every kind of entrepreneur. It is now easier to start selling products by simply creating an online store and a couple of pages on social media. Finding the right market is also easy by just advertising your products where your target audience frequents. Here are some of the trending crafts that you can make and profit from this 2021.

Jewelry

Jewelry is a beautiful product to make with different people from all walks of life looking to purchase it. Easy and simple jewelry business startups usually use low-cost materials like clay, beads, and even resin to create charms and pendants. These materials are relatively cheap alongside ready-made chains, but using them for jewelry can give you a good profit. On the other hand, the more professional and experienced jewelry makers work with expensive crystals and metals to create entire jewelry pieces. These jewelers appeal to those people with buying power by learning how to enhance the jewelry photos on their online stores to capture the real beauty of their creations. This can be a luxurious business for a skilled craftsman.


Customized Clothing

Selling customized clothing is another popular business that can make easy money. Different pieces, from shirts and pants to hats and shoes, can be customized to your clients' liking. Making them unique while incorporating your style as an artist is the best way to do this business. Different kinds of mediums can be used like paints, inks, dyes, embroidery threads, etcetera to turn these clothing pieces into something more personal, so finding the medium you like most for your craft should help you to limit the scope of your business.
