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.
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. Holding Your Hands Above Your Head Can Hurt The BabyThe truth is that the positioning of your hands has nothing to do with your baby’s positioning in the uterus or the umbilical cord becoming wrapped around him. Wearing A Lei Can Choke Your Fetus This Hawaiian superstition is just that…a superstition. Sex Can Kick Start LaborThis one is actually true!
WeMothers 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.
Create your birth plan (a sample birth plan included) A birth plan is a very important thing to create for many reasons. 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. All in all, you can include anything you would like in the birth plan, from who should cut the umbilical cord to whether or not you have a mirror to watch the birth. We’ve created a birth plan which you can use as a reference. P.P.S: Get this pregnancy book NOW to enjoy a special discount.

Morning Sickness Survival Guide Image Credit: Photodisc/Getty Images Babies make me sick. Literally. I am one of the "lucky" women who suffer from horrible morning sickness. As a dietitian, I am well aware of the dos and don'ts of eating healthy for pregnancy.

Morning sickness usually starts around week 6 of the first trimester and can last up to 14 weeks for some women. Awesome, right? Can Morning Sickness Hurt Your Baby? In most cases of mild nausea and occasional vomiting your baby will be just fine as long as you stay hydrated and try to eat a well balanced diet.

Contractions - What Do Contractions Feel Like? If you ask a woman ‘what do contractions feel like?’, you may get a ‘deep in thought’ or confused look back. This is because describing a contraction is something that women can find really difficult – I liken it to trying to describe an orgasm, something else which women can struggle to explain! Experiences of contractions and labour pain can vary a great deal from one woman to the next and one labour to the next, and so many factors contribute to what a woman is feeling. For example, if a baby is in posterior position (their back lined up against your back) then the mother may feel intense back pain on top of normal labour pains, which adds to their account of what labour feels like. Some women may have done Calmbirth or Hypnobirth classes and deal really well with the contractions, reporting feeling minimal pain. Fear also increases the amount of pain we feel. So with all that in mind, I asked some BellyBelly forum members to tell us what labour pain felt like to them!
