Forget the "grandpa cane" you used to know and get to know the designed canes for 2015: The walking cane helps the elderly navigate their daily lives, prevents falls and helps with their stability - so why not turn the archaic product into a designed and exclusive item?
Over the age of 80, more than 501% of people fall due to various posture problems that worsen with age. A walking stick can be very helpful in providing proper support and preventing most of the aforementioned falls, but many people avoid using walking sticks due to shame, or unwillingness to accept that they have grown older.
Telepharma, the leading online pharmacy in Israel, decided to initiate a special campaign that will convey the message that using a walking stick is important, protects health, and can also be fashionable. Operation Saba – is a first-of-its-kind collaboration with leading designers, in which they designed simple wooden walking sticks and turned them into a fashionable, cool, and up-to-date product.
The goal of the project is to reinvent the cane, emphasize its importance, make it accessible, and make the product useful, also stylish and up-to-date (Photo: Yoni Reif).

As parents, you are probably familiar with the stage where your baby tries to grab anything that comes his way and put it straight into his mouth (and this doesn't necessarily mean just food). This usually happens when the baby is 8-9 months old, when the coordination between the eyes, hands, and mouth is already sufficiently developed and the baby is practicing the "pincers" grip, when he holds small objects between the thumb and finger.
Now, during the holiday month, when there is plenty of time for the whole family to be together at home, it is recommended that you take advantage of the quality time with your baby and the multiple holiday meals and let your baby experiment with eating "finger foods" of a size and texture that allow the baby to hold it and eat independently.
Try giving him pieces of cooked vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, beets, potatoes, etc. or peeled and cut fruit, pasta, pieces of cooked meat and chicken, soft meatballs, cheese cubes, small cubes of bread spread with some kind of spread, biscuits adapted for babies, etc.
Patience is the key word: Eating alone is an action that may seem simple to us, but is complex for a baby who needs to reach for the food with his hand, grab it with his hand, bring his hand closer to his mouth, while opening his mouth at exactly the right time to put the food in his mouth, close his mouth (after the hand is no longer inside him), chew, and swallow.
The beginning can be very awkward and messy - the food doesn't always end up in the mouth, but on the face, hair, clothes and... the floor. But as with any learning process, self-experimentation is very important for improving technique and skill.
