Though it can be hard to tell the difference from far away, a quality dress shirt will not only look better but feel better as well. You will have freer movement and the dress shirt will last longer. To make sure you are buying a high-quality piece, look at the crispness of the collar and check for clean stitching. Also look at the paneling along the shoulders. If the shirt has a "split yoke," which is where the panel is made from two different fabric pieces sewn together at an angle, then it is likely to be better made. You can use the dress shirt to bring in pops of color to accentuate the suit or add personality. However, you don't want to go over-the-top with patterns or bright hues. A fluorescent neon shirt is unlikely to go over well in a basic office job. Instead, try to stick to whites, blues, light purples, salmon, and grays. If you are going to wear an undershirt, wear a v-neck so it doesn't show under your collar. The standard rule is that the width of your tie should match the width of the lapels on your suit jacket. So, if your lapels are two-three inches, then your tie should be the same. You should also make sure that your tie partially covers your belt buckle. To do this, you may want to knot the tie to see how long it is when worn properly. The most common knot for a tie is the Windsor knot. This knot looks good with any suit and is common for everyday work attire. You can do either a half-Windsor knot or a full-Windsor knot. Though it may sound odd, a good way to judge which knot to use is to go off of the size of your head. You want the Windsor knot to match. For less formal attire, try a four-in-hand knot.

Summary: Wear your suit with a quality dress shirt. Go for a classically styled shirt. Check the width and length of your tie. Stick to basic knots.

Melamine makes these sponges denser than regular cleaning sponges. They also have pores that serve a dual purpose. They absorb any cleaning solution they're put into contact with and give the sponge a slight abrasive quality. These make them more effective for cleaning marks and stains. You can buy these sponges in bulk on eBay and other online stores. You can buy these sponges under the Mr. Clean brand; they come already soaked with cleaning solution. Otherwise you can buy the sponges in bulk and soak them in homemade cleaning solutions. You can also use a cloth instead of a melamine sponge, but be aware it won't clean as deeply as a sponge. Use a clean rag; any dirt on it could leak out into your cleaning solution. Make sure to squeeze any excess solution. Your sponge should be damp, holding enough solution to clean your surface. It shouldn't be leaking. Wipe the leather gently, since the sponge's abrasiveness could damage the leather's coating if too much pressure is used. You use a cloth for this step. Note that since a cloth is less abrasive than a melamine sponge, you can use a bit more pressure as you clean. This includes stitching, creases and crevices where the various parts of the furniture meet. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and make sure to scrub gently. You can dip the toothbrush in your cleaning solution to dislodge any spots on the couch. Leaving any cleaning solution on leather for an extended period can damage the surface. Wipe thoroughly until the surface is completely dry.

Summary: Buy a melamine sponge. Soak up the solution with the sponge and wipe the leather. Use a toothbrush for your furniture's tighter spots. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth.

By 7 months old, typical babies express happiness and smile. A baby's first smile often occurs even before 3 months. If a baby doesn't follow objects with its eyes by 3 months, this could be a very early indicator of autism. Observe their other facial expressions. By 9 months old, babies communicate with others by displaying certain expressions like grimacing, pouting and grinning to fit their mood. Babies that develop typically will babble by the time they are 7 months old. The noise might not make any sense. It is common for babies to make repetitive sounds, but autistic babies will make different sounds and rhythms. By seven months, non-autistic children are able to laugh and make squealing sounds. Some autistic children experience a delay in speaking, or never learn to speak at all. Around 15-20% of autistic people never speak, although this does not mean they do not communicate. By one year, non-autistic children are able to say single words such as "Mama" and "Dada". By age 2, most children are able to string words together. A typical 2-year-old should have a vocabulary of more than 15 words. An autistic child might not respond to their own name or avoid play with others. By 7 months, a typical child responds to simple games like peekaboo. A non-autistic child responds to its own name at about one year old. By 18 months, a typical child will start to play "pretend" games, such as pretend feeding a baby doll. Autistic children tend not to play pretend, and may appear unimaginative to onlookers. By age two, non-autistic children will imitate your words and actions. Pay attention to speech regression. Some infants meet their milestones and then lose skills at an older age. Babies will reach for objects typically by 7 months of age. Place a toy out of your child's reach to see if he will reach for it. Babies as young as 7 months old will try to attract your attention with movements. Autistic children may be less active. By 6 months old, children should turn their head towards sounds they hear. If your child does not do this they may have a hearing problem, or early symptoms of autism. Many babies start waving bye-bye and pointing to objects they want by the time they are 12 months old. If your child has not started to walk or crawl by 12 months, this is a very serious developmental disability. By age 1, most babies will start to use gestures such as shaking their head to say "no". If your child cannot walk by age 2, you should definitely have them evaluated by a doctor for autism and other disabilities. Stimming serves a variety of purposes: from self-calming to expressing emotions. If your young child waves their hands, rocks their body, or spins in circles constantly, this is a likely sign of autism.
Summary: Note your baby's facial expression. Notice when babbling begins. Consider when your child begins speaking. Check your child's response to language and play. Examine your child's movements. Look for stimming.
