Children's Health and Nutrition

For every parent health of their children is the most important concern. Children are very choosy when it comes to eating nutritious food. They get attracted more towards junk foods like burgers, chocolates, ice creams, and chips etc. that never contribute in the nutritional intake but in fact cause bad impact on their health.

Parents normally get convinced by their children and get them all the things to eat whatever they demand not concerning much about their effects. And similarly children also are not aware of what they should eat and what they should not.

In the present modern society mostly people do not have a healthy lifestyle and thus they are getting more prone to diseases.
As the childhood age is the actual age of growth and development and thus in this age essential nutrients are very important for the body.

Lack of such nutrients can abrupt the proper growth of the body and may lead to certain diseases sooner or later. That is why parents need to take special care when it comes to the health of their children.

Taking care of health does not mean that it results in overweight of their children by increasing their diets or underweight children by reduction in the required amount of diet in fear of obesity.
Children should be given required amount of essential nutrients that is healthy diet.

For that they should follow diet-health-weight chart or nutrition chart strictly. The dieting program should be monitored by a physician. The pediatrician will guide you in controlling the eating habits of the child and will prescribe the healthy diet, which is very much essential for the growth of the child. Pediatricians and nutritionists are of great help in chalking out the healthy meal plan, which is liked by both parents as well as children.

Tips that parents can follow at home:

  • Avoid bringing junk foods to home.

  • Instead of giving chips, give your child crackers and peanut butter.

  • In place of dry fruits, offer fruit roll-ups.

  • Instead of offering ice cream, give them frozen yogurt. .

  • Be little bit creative with vegetables, like mash the cauliflower like potatoes, add cheese to broccoli, and provide ketchup with pinto beans.

  • Have stock of cereals, which are rich in fibers instead of sweet cereals.

  • Replace high fat cookies with vanilla wafers, animal crackers, graham crackers and fig cookies.

  • Replace chips, or cracker jacks with pretzels.

  • Cook the meat separately if your child dislikes the meat with sauce.

Xeno Tactic - Strategy Guide

Xeno Tactic is played as a turret defense game, of which there are many, but this is the first one I have ever played. The game has six levels or missions, each getting harder every time.

The game has a built in auto save, at mission level, so you can keep playing the missions you have unlocked. Missions one to five are relatively easy, although not without difficulty, but mission six is as far as I am aware, impossible. I have not read on any forums of people actually beating this game.

However, I and many others have reached the dizzy heights of level 93 (out of 100) in mission 6, so I feel well-qualified to write this strategy guide. I will concentrate solely on mission 6, as most people will be able to achieve this level relatively quickly, but mission 6 may keep you occupied for days, weeks or months. A very important point to make is that you should not lose your money! If you get to Mission 6 you will no doubt have come across the situation whereby you lose all your accumulated wealth!

What happens here is that as your other turrets finally kill off an alien and you are placing another turret on the board the range ring of the just placed turret remains, and if you now click on another already placed turret then you WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR MONEY. This can keep happening when a lot of aliens are being killed in quick succession, so be careful and be patient when this happens.

You must be careful not to let this situation arise, and the only way to prevent this happening is to click on the weapons bay (top right) and then click onto an area of the screen where a turret cannot be place (E.g. on top of another turret). Most people feel that this is a bug in the game, however, I have a suspicion that this may be a cunning piece of programming on the developer's behalf!

The general advice for this game is to build a maze, however, how long do you make this maze? My advice is to make just a short maze with a long horizontal of Vulcan turrets at the top of the screen and a long vertical of Vulcan turrets on the left hand side and then just a simple maze of Vulcans in the top left had corner. Attack the aliens with one or two SAM turrets (bit of a misnomer for this turret, as it only attacks ground aliens) as these turrets can cause plenty of collateral damage to adjacent aliens. In order to make this maze work you must continually 'compress' the aliens, this means selling and buying Vulcans for the ends of the longs runs and the centre 'gate'.

If you can get past level 7 in Mission 6 (the first airwave) then you should have no further problems until level 49. Continue to upgrade your weapons as and when possible, but do not forget to upgrade your DCAs as these are crucial to get to the higher levels, as the only real problems in the game are the airwaves.

Level 49 is what I choose to call a super-airwave, with only two flying aliens, but each with a very high hit-point value. By the time you have reached this level you should have at least 3 fully-upgraded DCAs, and normally this will be enough to cope, but only if the aliens are within range of at least 2 the DCAs. You may be able to predict the flight-path of these two aliens by carefully watching previous flying alien levels and place your DCA turrets along the path of the leading alien. This will not always be the case, but it is the best strategy that I can come up with. If you can get three fully upgraded DCAs (you can do this by about level 42) continue to add DCAs and upgrade appropriately so you have the maximum distribution of fire-power for level 49. I should also mention that freeze turrets, whilst a low fire-power turret.should be used to get through this level. A certain amount of luck is required to get through level 49, but it can be done.

Level 51 is another air-wave (this is the exception to the rule that an air-wave is every seventh wave), but you will almost certainly get through this level without any problem.

Level 58 is another super-airwave, again just like level 49, but with even higher hit-point values. Upgrade your DCAs and freeze turrets and you should be able to get through it.

Then it's onto level 72 which you should be able to cope with, and then level 79. At this point, hopefully you will have several DCA turrets and several freeze turrets. This is a big level, I don't think I have ever got through this level with all lives intact, but if you lose only 3 or 4 lives you are doing OK.

Level 86, what can I say, this one will hit you hard... expect to lose about 10 lives!!

Level 93... the end, I really cannot see how you can ever get through this.

If you ever get past level 93, or just need further clarification, please leave a message on my blog ...hope to see you there soon.

DOTA Strategy

DOTA stands for Defence of the Ancients. It is a mod for Warcraft 3. Since its inception, there have been a number of good DOTA Strategy guides written about it.

Here are 7 DOTA Strategy 101 tips to help you get into the game.

Tip #1 Farming

Farming means killing creeps or neutrals for gold. The more enemy creeps you kill, the more gold you'll receive. Sometimes when farming becomes difficult, player may turn to farming neutral characters for extra gold.

Tip #2 Last Hit

Last Hit means moving in close to hit the enemy creep for gold. Damaging an enemy creep does not provide gold, so its beneficial for a non-ranged character to move in for a last hit to receive this benefit. This also allows you to stay out of range of the opposing team.

Making a last hit requires a feel of the timing to deal direct damage for different characters. You can get a feel of this simply by playing the game often. A good strategy is to keep the thumb on the "ALT" key so that you can readily see the life line of the creeps, and only move in to get a last hit when its life is low.

Tip #3 Hot Key

Hot Key is an essential DOTA strategy. Different spells are tied to different buttons which when pressed will activate the spell. Since battles in DOTA last only a few seconds, clicking on the icons with the mouse is a little slow.

Tip #4 Mouse

Getting a good mouse is important for DOTA. You'll also enjoy the gaming experience more with a good mouse, skates, and mouse pad. Get it from: http://razerdeathadder.blogspot.com

Tip #5 Item Build

Having the right item build will increase the power of your character. Some characters require more health or more speed, or more mana as the game progresses. Knowing the complimentary item build for your character will increase its power and direct damage.

Tip #6 Team Play

In competitive DOTA play, its necessary to play in groups. Public DOTA Strategy and Competitive DOTA strategy are different with the latter being more difficult and emphasis on team cooperation.

Tip #7 Mana Required

Always take note of the amount of mana required to cast 2 spells. 1 spell alone will normally not be sufficient to take down an opponent.

Tip #8 Item Cost

By understanding what items need to be built, you'll be able to know the cost and time your return to the fountain. Less trips back to the fountain means more time in the battle field, which translates to more gold and experience for your DOTA character.
