“The word au pair is French for on par – meaning, one who is on-par with the rest of your family. An au pair is a person from another country who lives in your house to help care for your children, but is not a “servant” or “nanny” – she is someone who is on par with the rest of the family, acting as a member of the family for their stay. Our au pair out on a nature hike by the river with the family.
In the USA, the Au Pair program was set up by the U.S. State Department as a means of increasing communication and understanding (ARC) between the USA and other countries by allowing people from other countries to come to the USA for a period of 1-2 years, live with an American family, and help participate as part of the family. It’s much like the concept of an exchange student.”

Do Scientologists breastfeed their kids? Yes, they do. But the decision as to whether or not to breastfeed, and for how long, is one that is up to the family and not one that the religion has any say over. (via Regarding Scientology and Breastfeeding | Scientology Parent)

My own personal observation is that most people would like to be athletic. It’s my feeling that most kids would like to be able to go out and push the body and have fun with it. And it’s my feeling that it’s only when parents, relatives and friends run a black-PR campaign against working out, that it starts to fail. Continued statements of “Oh, I’m too tired to go outside,” and “Oh, go out and play…I’m just going to sit here & watch a movie,” all steer kids away from an active lifestyle.

It’s that last part I’m reminded of constantly now that I get to rub elbows with the Church Staff here on a regular basis. They are the most caring, fantastic, outrageous, amazing people I’ve ever known, people that I am just utterly proud to say are my friends.

“Unfortunately there is often a wide variance between what the founder of a religion actually said, and what the individual who hears it all verbally takes away from such an experience.”

Scenario: A user comes up to the sysadmin, frantic. He says, “You need to help me – the server is down.” When asked what behaviour he’s seeing, he says that there’s a message on the screen saying it can’t connect to the server. “Ah – so your problem is that you’re seeing an error message on the screen!” The sysadmin would then have an array of powerful tools at his disposal to handle the problem he can: Hang a piece of construction paper over the screen so that the user can no longer see the error message Install a plugin on his browser to suppress the error message from coming up, Write some dummy code to make the user think the site is working when it’s in fact not Simply power off the computer (as it will then no longer display the error message) Change the user’s computer’s UI language to Icelandic so that he can’t understand whether the software is working or not (“It says – ‘Þessi hugbúnaður er completetely helvíti!’ — that must mean it’s working!!” Hook up a monitor from someone else’s computer to the user’s desktop, so they can think they’re doing work There are a nearly infinite number of ways that a sysadmin could go about describing the problem describing how the error makes you feel, etc. One could say that the error message is due to an imbalance of electricity in the computer which is causing it to display an error message, and the handling is to rebalance things so that the error message doesn’t display.

Psychiatrists recently released their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V – which literally is simply an eloquently-worded bunch of random observations about every facet of human behavior, compiled in such a way that psychiatrists can point at amazing-sounding illnesses like Nicotine Use Disorder for smokers, “Caffeine-Induced Sleep Disorder” or even “Complicated Grief Syndrome” for if you’re bereaving the loss of a loved one or pet dog. Any of these are simply then used as a ticket to push more drugs. Watch this video about it. It’ll open your eyes. (via Protesting the Drugging of Our Children | Scientology Parent)
