Overview

At night, shadows can keep kids awake and trembling and in the dark. DisMonster helps kids embrace the shadows by making them more fun and familiar. In this slightly dark and a little bit spooky app, kids use a flashlight to search for items in the shadows. They then put those items back together to make silly monsters. While they may be a bit scared at first, kids will learn that that shadows that keep them awake at night aren’t really monsters, but instead just everyday items hidden around their rooms.

• Progressive levels of difficulty
• 70 different monsters to create
• Ability to create own monsters
• 3 different scenes to explore

Quality

DisMonster makes kids feel like they’re lying in their beds at night and seeing all of the shadows on the wall. From the dark rooms to the slightly eerie background music, the app does have a bit of a scary fear. However, it is not too scary for kids. Once the flashlight is turned on, they’ll find it’s not too hard to spot the items that make up the shadows and put them together to create monsters. The app responds well and contains clear graphics, so kids can focus on playing the game.

Education

DisMonster works with kids’ emotional development in a subtle way. Rather than talking to kids about their fears, it simply has them interact with the shadows they see in the dark. Kids can put shadows back together to create silly monsters or pick out items from around the room to create their own spooky shadows. As they play, they’ll begin to make the connection that the scary shadows they see at night are just like those they’re finding as they walk through the app. Kids will also build some shape recognition skills as they learn to match an object with its shadow.

Entertainment

Two modes of play – finding and recreating monsters and creating spooky shadows help make the app more enjoyable for kids. At first they will have to figure out how to put the items together to make the monsters or how to drag items to create the shadows, but once they do they’ll have a lot of fun creating. The most exciting part for kids is the ability to create their own shadows because it truly allows them to let their imaginations run wild.

Value

It’s hard to compare DisMonster to other apps because there’s not a lot out there like it. Still, it’s priced fairly well for what it offers. It’s a great way to help kids get over their fear of the dark while having fun at the same time.

Child Friendliness

Aside from the darkness of the app and the spookiness of the background music, the app is very child friendly. An icon on the top of the main screen leads to the parent section, but the info is protected by a parental block. While a description in the parent section boasts no social networking, there are links to Facebook and Twitter contained within the parent section. A small icon showing another one of the developer’s app appears at the bottom of the main screen, but it is also protected by a parental block. Both the additional app and parent section are largely overshadowed by the large play button leading to the fun of the game.

Before Christmas turkey, trees, ornaments

How famous Georgian

 

What was the holiday season as before turkeys and trees? Caroline McGhie visit the house in Spitalfields breaks Dennis particular

It's hard to imagine before Christmas Victorian has his hands on it and wrapped sentimentality and garlands. But there is a very old house in Spitalfields arthritic London where you can still enjoy the experience. Gateway back in Folgate Street, everything is cold and dark. The only heat comes from the chimneys, the only light and flickering candles filter gray sadness when the wings are open.

There is a smell of the forest floor and spices. David Milne in his baker's apron, sewing fir garlands dotted with clementines to hang from the ceiling of the room. He is the curator of this extraordinary home, cared for 15 years and sometimes sleeps here.

This garland of fruit, wood and flowers that resemble wood carvings decorated 18th century Grinling Gibbons, who wove their magic in Hampton Court, the Cathedral of St. Paul and Blenheim Palace. "The use of green was pagan and returned to classical mythology," David said. The Christmas tree as we know, did not get his first role until the coverage Illustrated London News is Queen Victoria in 1848, so there was no turning back.

David is preparing for a night in which historians, fans of the Georgian era, local celebrities - including TV presenter Dan Cruickshank and local artists, perhaps, Gilbert and George - come. Jeanette Winterson, owner of green coffee slow food in Spitalfields Market, located so you can not be there. Wassail Bowl, a huge trunk, grated scarlet silk curves down the stairs, and gingerbread men among kitchen utensils copper helps create a festive atmosphere.

The piece de resistance in the dining room is a beautiful black swan mounted on a ceramic substrate with a chandelier above that David has with fresh oranges between fixtures. No raisins, nuts, candied fruits and grenades. "What we take for granted today were tremendous luxury and made in North Africa and Spain," he said. The famous house a mix of periods of King George, William IV and during the reign of Queen Victoria.

 

The Georgians loved their gelatins and puddings. David setbacks as mussels and small castles copper melting jelly flashing in the dark as defective gems. "The cakes were made of ox tongue and other meats that can put in our hands, fruits and spices. Later, the meat was abandoned and only had fruit pies, spices and fat in them." King George was supposed to have eaten plum pudding, as part of its first monarch of Christmas dinner in 1714, which was known as the "sausage king".

How to Sleep like a Baby

It’s 3:00 a.m. where are you? Most people would probably be asleep. However, for a large majority of people, it is near impossible for them to get a good nights rest. Without it, they are unable to focus well, they have low energy, and let’s face it, they are usually in a not so good mood. Is there anything that the sleep deprived can do in order to help give their body the much needed sleep it needs? Aside from counting sheep, which rarely works, try some of the suggestions below.

First, start out by examining your bedroom for sleep distractions. Sleep distractions would be such things as clutter, the color of the paint, the noise level, etc. If your room is painted in bright, electrifying colors, you may want to consider painting it a soothing cool color. A pale green or a soothing blue would be good choices. You can’t expect to be able to sleep if the paint in your bedroom is so bright that it looks like an airport runway.

If your room is cluttered, consider scheduling a spring cleaning day and get rid of all those unwanted sleep thieves. If a room is cluttered, it gives our mind more things to focus on and think about during the night instead of sleep. Your bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary, and let’s face it, who wants piles of bills or junk mail in their sanctuary? Not too many people.

As far as the noise level goes, this is different for each person. Some people enjoy some form of noise while they sleep and may even purchase a noise machine, while others have to have quiet. If you fall into the latter category, try purchasing some heavy drapes to see if they block out any of the unwanted noise. While the drapes probably won’t get rid of every unwanted noise, you will notice a big difference.

Next, try not to exercise before going to bed. I’m not saying don’t exercise at all, because exercise is good for us, but we all know that exercise releases endorphins which amp us up. You can’t expect to be able to go to sleep if you feel like you could run a marathon. Try to keep exercise to either early in the mornings or to around four hours before bedtime. This will give your body time to calm down and will help you to drift off to sleep much easier.

Another suggestion to help you get a good nights sleep would be to take a nice warm bath just before you are ready to go to bed. The warm bath will not only help you to relax physically, but it will also give your brain some time to unwind as well. It doesn’t have to be a long bath, just 10 or 15 minutes should do the trick. As you are letting the water out of the tub, picture your troubles and cares being washed down the drain. A mind that is not burdened with troubles is a mind that can easily drift off to sleep.

Lighting is another issue that effects sleep. If your bedroom window lets the light of a nearby street light into your bedroom, you might want to try some of those room darkening curtains to eliminate that problem. If you can’t find any or can’t afford them, try putting a quilt up instead. If your curtain rods are sturdy, they will usually hold up the extra weight of the quilt. Either of these two things will help darken your bedroom and help you drift off to what could be the best nights sleep you’ve had in a while.

Of course, don’t forget to flip your mattress every so often to keep it from getting worn. However, if your mattress is not in good shape and you can’t afford to buy a new one (because we know they don’t come cheap), consider buying a mattress topper. This will give you the sense of a new mattress, but will cost you a fraction of the price. Toppers come in a variety of styles, and it is up to you to find the one that suits your needs.

The last tip, try and keep the temperature in your bedroom at a comfortable level. You don’t want the temperature too hot or too cold. You want it just right. Again, it is up to you, as an individual, to decide what your perfect temperature is. Try these few tips out and see if they help you get the peaceful nights slumber your body has been missing. Pleasant dreams sleep deprived.
