The Leonid meteor shower, an annual mid-November treat, is set to peak today and tomorrow.

Estimates range from seeing a few meteors up to dozens per hour at the peak. As with most meteor showers, the best time to watch the Leonids is usually between midnight and dawn.

Those in the Southwest will likely have the best view, as clouds from a sprawling storm will likely obscure the show in much of the central and northwestern U.S., Much of the East Coast should have "fair" visibility.

No matter which language one decides to direct towards a newborn, a soft voice lullaby for a baby is best.

How do I know? I read all about it and practice what I preach with my grandchild Olivia. The study published in the journal Infancy by researchers from the University of Montreal and the University of Toronto, included two experiments.

Much is known about the efficacy of infant-directed speech and singing for capturing attention, but little is known about their role in regulating affect.

In Experiment 1, Infants 7–10 months of age listened to scripted recordings of ID speech, adult-directed speech, or singing in an unfamiliar language (Turkish) until they met a criterion of distress based on negative facial expression. They listened to singing for roughly twice as long as speech before meeting the distress criterion.

In Experiment 2, They were exposed to natural recordings of ID speech or singing in a familiar language. As in Experiment 1, ID singing was considerably more effective than speech for delaying the onset of distress. We suggest that the temporal patterning of ID singing, with its regular beat, metrical organization, and tempo, plays an important role in inhibiting distress, perhaps by promoting predictive listening.

In Experiment 3, Just allow ourselves to fall in love with this adorable baby in the key of we!
