Sleep training

I decided to start Alrisha's sleep training tonight.
She fell asleep shortly after the feeding. However,
She woke up in about ten minutes.
No matter how I cuddle and walking, she didn't seem to
Sleep and want to play. I put her down on the bed. After a few minute,
she start to cry. I was sitting besides her, but won't be seen by her.
She was crying and coughing. I comforted her after a few minute and
then I still hide. After about half an hour, her crying seemed diminished.
I put the quilt on her and finally relieved. My wife
was trying to stop me 20 minutes after Alrisha's cry. She said that the
baby may not be ready. Admittedly I am not 100 percent sure about
the training, but I guess every baby has to go through it and every parents
have to weather it. I wasn't feel good either, but I am glad that my doughter
made it. It's a milestone for her and us.

Quantum Physics Adds Twist to Chess

I read an interesting article about scientist adding new twist to traditional chess game. The twist is to change the role of the piece unpredictably. You won't know the role of the piece only until you touch it.

It's an interesting idea. This idea may be used as a mechanism in designing board game. Sign, I really should start designing my own board game.
