You love your newborn baby, but his constant cries and demands for attention are more than you can bear. You may feel like the newborn has taken over your life and you're no longer able to sleep, eat or relax when you want to, especially if you're alone with the baby for most of the day. If your newborn's crying tests your patience, you can soothe your frazzled nerves by giving yourself some much needed TLC.
It's a moment parents imagine during pregnancy: the first time you look deep into your newborn baby's eyes and he gazes back. While you might picture this magical moment happening in the delivery room, newborns often don't maintain eye contact that early. Most babies start to maintain eye contact at around 6 to 8 weeks of age, but some don't give you the big gaze until closer to 3 months. You can encourage eye contact by reading your baby's cues and watching for opportunities to interact.
All teenagers tell half-truths or white lies from time to time. Whether to avoid hurting someone else or to prevent the consequences of inappropriate behavior, occasional lying isn't generally a serious cause for concern. Habitual lying is another matter. It involves repeated instances of lying over both trivial and serious issues, and can be a very frustrating, troublesome problem for parents.
Raising a teen is no walk in the park. While you can teach your teen all the important things she needs to know, you can't force your budding adult to follow suit. This is especially true when it comes to honesty and truthfulness. Your teen may feel the need to lie for any number of reasons -- to avoid consequences or protect a friend, for instance. By placing a hefty emphasis on truthfulness in your family, you can help your teen learn that honesty truly is the best policy.

Successful relationships, whether personal or business-related, rely on good conversational skills and, by extension, being able to establish eye contact.
Pageviews and impressions are calculations that help you track visitor behavior on your website. They measure the number of people who view each page and the number of people who see specific page elements, like advertisements.

Sometimes during a division calculation, the remainder is of more interest than the integer quotient. For example, when dividing 17 by three, the remainder of two could be more important to know than the integer quotient of five. One of the thousands of built-in functions in the mathematical software program MATLAB is the “mod” command, short for “modulus.” The “mod” function directly computes the remainder of a division operation.

The Impression does not limit the amount of textual characters in a Multimedia Messaging Service message, but does restrict the size of the file as a whole.
Matlab, short for MATrix LABoratory, is a computer language that allows a range of manipulation, vizualization and mathematical functions to be performed on data. The language is structured so that its main element is an array, or matrix, and the language contains a number of built-in computational and graphical procedures. This gives Matlab the edge over languages like C or Fortran, where such dimensions and techniques would have to be manually programmed from the outset to be used for the same purposes as Matlab.
