Beyonce’s Bare Belly Full-Term Blue Ivy Photo won’t silence naysayers

Aaah! First come love, then come marriage, then come Beyonce with Blue Ivy in a baby carriage.
Perhaps to silence the numerous conspiracy theorists who do

not believe megastar Beyonce Knowles was actually pregnant with her daughter Blue Ivy and hired

a surrogate to carry her instead, Bey and her husband Shawn “Jay Z” Carter showed a nude bump maternity

portrait in a video slideshow during their joint performance last week.
During their performance of “Young Forever” and “Halo” at the

Saturday, September 13th show at the Stade de France in Paris at a

show taped and aired for HBO, the background video also included video of the couple exchanging

their vows in their New York city apartment in 2008 and Mrs. Carter holding

baby blue shortly after giving birth to her with the hospital monitors in the

background.
I suppose the reason she didn’t share them immediately was

to avoid coming off reactionary and as if she was validating the rumors by

responding.  But needless to say, the

extensive time lapse will still induce naysayers. They said the ultrasound video flashed during her 2013 HBO show didn’t convince them. Neither did paparazzi photos of the couple while Beyonce was about 6 months pregnant and wearing a bikini. This may not either.
Though, clearly,  in photos a

couple of years ago, while she was pregnant, one  could clearly see weight gain in Bey’s face,

neck and arms which are classic for pregnant women and a pretty hard thing to

fake when you’re not really preggers.
Needless to say, it is quite very possible that the die-hard

naysayers and haters will still doubt the authenticity of the images.

Oh well! Leave them with their “beliefs” we say.
Doubters will always doubt.  Think about it. There are people around today who still believe Elvis and

Tupac are alive, that the moon landing and the September 11 attacks never really happened and that aliens captured the missing Malaysian flight…though where

did that plane go? Really now? Ha!
Check out the whole performance with the video here:

REDDIT SURVEY: Late Summer and these 4 days see most US Births

This coming Thursday, September 25th and Friday, September 26th is among the 4 most common birthdays for babies born in the United States.

Dan Lin, a University of Virginia grad student analyzed Centers for Disease Control data from 1994 to 2003 and determined that the months of August and September are the most popular months for births.  He found that 9 months after days when there are major snow storms in many parts of America,  most babies are born on September 12, 18, 25 and 26.

Lin also discovered that holidays like New Year’s Day, the 4th of July and Christmas are among the least likely days Americans give birth.

The most common day babies are born is Tuesday, while Sunday is the least common day.

Interesting stuff!

Study: Low iron intake in pregnancy linked to autism

A new study by UC-Davis researchers found a five-fold increase in autism spectrum disorder in children born to mothers with low iron intake and some metabolic conditions.
“Iron deficiency and its resultant anemia is the most common nutrient deficiency … affecting 40 to 50% of women and their infants,” said Rebecca Schmidt, assistant professor at the UC-Davis Department of Public Health Sciences and a MIND Institute researcher, in a written statement.
“Iron is crucial to early brain development, contributing to neurotransmitter production, myelination and immune function,” Schmidt said. “All three of these pathways have been associated with autism.”
Research has been conducted previously on the link between autism and mother’s intake of folic acid, but this research is the first to look at iron intake as a possible contributor, Schmidt said. UC-Davis’ MIND Institute — Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders — is a collaborative international research center examining causes and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. 
The study is expected to be published online this week by the American Journal of Epidemiology.

10 iPhone Child Discipline Apps for Parents

In light of the NFL Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson controversy in play now, it’s key that parents be able to arm themselves with an arsenal of discipline tools beyond spanking. 
When it comes to Apple’s powerful and popular iPhone, it seems that there’s very little the mobile device isn’t able to streamline and simplify. 
Thanks to the App Store and the developers that make it great, there are even offerings to help busy parents track and manage parenting and disciplinary tactics. 
These 10 apps are among the most popular and useful for keeping up with kids’ behavior, as well as the rewards and consequences of their behavioral choices.
1. Positive Parenting Practices – This $3.99 app is geared towards parents who espouse a more lenient, gentle approach to discipline. Positive Parenting Practices is more than an app detailing disciplinary methods, offering valuable insights into the motivation behind kids’ problem behavior and real-life solutions.


2. KidChart – Charts are great tools for tracking kids’ accomplishments, chores and behavior. Unfortunately, they’re also rather difficult to carry in your pocket. That’s where this $0.99 app comes in, putting the power of a full-sized paper chart at your fingertips. KidChart is also an effective way to monitor kids’ daily behavior for later discussion, when cooler heads allow for constructive conversation.
3. hAPPy Family – Encouraging positive behavior on the go is easy with this powerful app, which rewards kids with collectible marbles, ocean animals, treasures, insects or candy when they make the right choices.
4. iGrounded – Teenagers are notorious for pushing boundaries a bit too far in a bid to assert their burgeoning independence. A game of consequences that you’re able to edit and modify to suit your teen’s individual needs, iGrounded is available in the app store for $0.99.
5. iReward – The customizable motivational charts provided by this $4.99 app are designed for use by parents, caregivers and educators to reward good behavior. Traditional rewards, like gold stars, are among the options offered by this simple but powerful application.
6. Timeout – Ultimate Discipline Tool – Tracking the length of a timeout to provide kids a visual representation of how long they are sentenced to this punishment is a snap with this application. The app isn’t loaded with extra features, but it does deliver exactly what it promises.
7. Tymoot – Designed by a parent for parents, Tymoot is a $0.99 app that helps you create and set timeout timers. However, there’s a bit more to this one than meets the eye due to the Wheel of Discipline feature that allows your children to spin the virtual wheel in order to be “sentenced” to one of eight customizable punishments.
8. Caught Being Good – The free CAUGHT BEING GOOD app takes the spinning wheel of chance approach to rewarding kids for undirected good behavior. You can change, add or remove any reward, and also set the probability of a particular one appearing. Surprising your child with an unsought reward for good behavior that you have not requested or directed is an effective method of encouraging her to continue on the right path, even when she doesn’t think you’re there to see her.
9. Positive Discipline – Rather than a traditional punishment and rewards systems, the Positive Discipline approach relies upon a motivational system that helps kids to develop strong moral fiber, character and a sense of self-reliance. Encourage a sense of connection with the respectful, encouraging tone that motivates kids to make the right decisions in their daily lives, autonomously.
10. Rich Kids – Behavior & Reward Contracts for Child Discipline – This $2.99 app combines positive reinforcement parenting tactics with a method of teaching the fundamentals of financial responsibility that helps kids grow into the well-rounded, well-adjusted adults they were meant to become. Suggested for kids between the ages of three and 15, Rich Kids is an effective tracking and incentive tool.
