It seems only yesterday that I held him in my arms, a tiny screaming bundle of joy. I just blinked for a moment and all of a sudden he's graduated primary school and is off to high school next fall. I can't begin to explain how amidst tears, frustrations, mistakes and chaos, my little hero soared thru it all with flying colors. #proudmama #autism #autismspectrum #autismmom #autismparent #autismparenting (at Escola marillac barcelona)

A perfect example of how a parent of special needs children feels on a daily basis. The author is father to three boys on the autism spectrum (like me). I love reading his blog for all the apparent reasons.

Dig Unearths Ancient Furnace in Hunt for Cambodia’s Past

A team of Cambodian and international scientists has uncovered the first Angkorian-era iron smelter ever to be found virtually intact.

On the second day of a three-week excavation in Preah Vihear province, the archaeologists unearthed what they had spotted during previous surveys in Rovieng district near Phnom Dek mountain: a furnace used a millennium ago to extract iron from ore.

“We found the footprint of the furnace and some of the sidewalls that had collapsed…and we found the base of it,” said Canadian archaeologist Mitch Hendrickson of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

While evidence of smelting—the process of extracting base metal from its ore— during the Angkorian era has previously been discovered, it’s the first time a furnace has been found. Read more.
