How to tell your kids that you have a new partner and you're in love


Who has not felt a tickle in the tummy the day he was to introduce the groom to their parents? Who is not filled with recommendations to his partner the first time I joined out of Saturday with her friends and boyfriends? Years pass and yet show our affections the person we've chosen to share life remains a source of stress. We accept it, they like to adopt it. Now what happens when, over the person you have to cross with our new boyfriend is a child?
Gabriela W. was separated for three long years. Her children were accustomed to this new reality, one might even say that they enjoyed having two houses where they did the impossible to "not suffer the divorce of their parents." So far, a great or at least well-off.
But one day, Gabriela began dating a man, and after five months of being in secret, decided to whitewash the situation with his family. Although he needed time to discuss how to raise it, it was not because her new boyfriend wanted to take that weekend to the beach. Just counted, then, with four days to talk to their kids and her ex, who should be in charge while she was leaving "mini honeymoon".
In desperation, convoked a summit of friends to help her think about how best to raise her new emotional state. Here are some of the advice he received:
- Be sure the relationship you are living is important enough to become public. It is best not to subject the children to the vagaries of love from adults.
- It is your ex finds out for you in your new relationship, and they are not kids who will go with the gossip. It is best to drink coffee and talk alone what he has to talk. Even the way when you're organized.
- At no time your kids have to believe they're asking permission to rebuild your life. You're just sharing the joy of starting over.
- Call to relations with the name that you have. No more "Mommy has a friend." If you're a bride, you have to encourage you to call it that.
- Do not force the relationship of this new person with the rest of your family. The ideal is to be aware of and little neutral ground: the farther from home, the better.
- Be cautious with demonstrations of affection with your new boyfriend. And he is also measured at their shows with your children. Everything has its time.
What other elements must be considered when formalizing a relationship when we have children?

They create computer sodium acetate

Sodium acetate is a compound that is used for many things. In the food industry is used to accentuate the flavor and preservative. In textiles, to neutralize the sulfuric acid and, last but not least, to make those portable hand warmers. Do you know what? Are these gel packs with a metal disk inside that if you twist causes the solidification of the bag and release heat?

Well, there's an application that until now nobody had thought and is building computers. As I read, Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England made a computer based on sodium acetate.

Sony will join the three-dimensional battle next year

3D monitors and televisions and there are several, but the mass application of this technology depends on large firms to join that ordinary consumers can buy one of these systems, and this would be possible from next year, as Sony has announced at IFA 2009 that launched the series BRAVIA televisions dimensional.

But that's not all. Sony plans to launch a series of gadgets compatible with three-dimensional display of images, such as Blu-ray, consoles (Did someone say PS3?) And even notebooks. Thereby create a new family of devices capable of providing more complete user experience and distribution channels that reach the main countries of the world.

Disney bought Marvel!


Become the main news of the day and probably the weeks and months ahead I tell them that The Walt Disney Company has taken control of Marvel, which means that the company achieved growth eared mouse brutal way to a world in which they were unrelated. The purchase, for about 4 billion dollars and reported in the Disney.com site and Marvel.com will allow the Disney Empire (no other way to call it) to completely control the fantastic cartoons company, which means not only be in charge of its publishing arm, but also of its film industry and video game industry, as well as possession of about 5 thousand characters marvelis. Disney respect the agreements previously signed by Marvel and other companies, but sooner or later begin to see some developments regarding the dissemination of company products. Furthermore, the development possibilities are raised to the tenth power considering that Marvel can begin to work with Pixar (another company of the Disney conglomerate) in the development of new film projects.

This is a spectacular and mega purchase actually result in an expansion of Disney's business to areas previously little explored. According to the report, the company of Mickey begin to develop various projects involving those 5 thousand characters acquired in addition to the important dissemination of their television series to be conducted through the cable channel DisneyXD. Moreover Pixar, now Marvel's sister company, you may begin work with the company in developing new projects, which immediately raises the question of visual surprise that we get to see in future and expected new movies superheroes such as X-Men Origins: Magneto, The First Avenger: Captain America and Spider-Man 4. It is said that the same John Lasseter, producer and creative director of Pixar, has already met with executives at Marvel to assess G-employment opportunities and was very happy after their first meetings.

Although Disney has said it will maintain independence in the operation of Marvel, will surely seek to develop new marketing channels that they can achieve important to get a slice of the profits from future films comiquero company, independent of who have previously signed agreements with third companies. Undoubtedly, this is a very important news that will develop and showcase new edges with the passing days.
