SureBaby Neuroscience The "Invent with Python" Blog — Nobody Wants to Learn How to Program I frequently see a problem when people (especially techies) try to teach programming to someone (especially non-techies). Many programming tutorials begin with basic programming principles: variables, loops, data types. This is both an obvious way to teach programming and almost certainly a wrong way to teach programming. If you are teaching a class of adults who are paying with their own money for an education, then this is an appropriate and direct way to teach programming. But for the casually interested or schoolchildren with several activities competing for their attention, programming concepts like variables and loops and data types aren’t interesting in themselves. Here are my five pieces of advice to people who want to teach programming or create programming tutorials: 1. If you make the realization that nobody wants to learn how to program and jump past that trap, there’s a second brick wall on the other extreme you might hit: software creation kits. 2. 3. 4. 5. Enough said.

WeMothers Pregnancy and Old Wives Tales There are so many old wives tales floating around during pregnancy that it is hard to know fact from fiction, except in the case where the tale is really off the wall. You will probably hear strange things from your grandmother regarding what you should and shouldn’t do. While your grandmother probably believed this when she was pregnant with your mom, there is no reason why you have to believe it now. We can’t cover all the pregnancy related old wives tales in this article, but here are some of our favorites, and some of the funniest. Pregnant Women Should Not Take BathsThis idea is false; however some of the beliefs behind it are true.

Wearing A Lei Can Choke Your Fetus This Hawaiian superstition is just that…a superstition. Sex Can Kick Start LaborThis one is actually true!

Pregnancy A National Tragedy - What Teens Aren't Being Taught A lot of interesting things have happened to me over the years - fodder for stories. Today as I was reflecting about what parents do and do not teach their teens, I remembered one of those gems. I was 22 years old, and it was the morning after my bride and I had returned from our honeymoon road trip out West. For the first time in my life I asked my wife a simple question I would ask thousands of times throughout my life: "What would you like to do for breakfast?" "I don't know. I decided to keep it simple and easy. Then she told me she wasn't sure how to cook fried eggs. At the time, I didn't ask myself why this was so. But sometime later I did reflect on that. And then: Her mother was a gourmet cook. Today, I think a lot about the things that teenagers don't learn. And of course that isn't true. Imagine the enormous advantage a teen would have if he or she was coached in these areas before starting a career! Yes, it's a "full plate," as I like to put it. Post by Dennis E.

It can help you stay calm throughout labor and delivery since you will already have decided how you want things to happen. Additionally, it will help your physician know the things you want to happen should you not be able to make the decisions again in the moment. If you go into labor when another physician is on call, then the birth plan will be all the more vital. Just what is a birth plan? There are many downloadable birth plan guides you can use that will make it easier for you. You should list who you would like to be allowed in the room for the birth.
