Please clarify how to use natural consequences when my child has a health issue.
How do I handle natural consequences that cause the whole family to suffer?
I need help using the "Five Steps to Problem Solving" model.
My nine-year-old son often loses his coat at school. Sometimes we don't get them back. We have had him use his own money to buy a new one for himself and he has improved but sometimes he is still careless. Is it reasonable to send him to school without a coat on cold days to teach them responsibility or should we bail him out? I am afraid going to school without a coat could negatively impact his health. If he gets a cold, it could develop into a lung infection. – Dave N. P.S. He recently lost his new coat- again!
Sounds like you have a pretty normal nine year old to me. Frustrating at times isn't it!? Surprisingly, a kid who loses his coat can grow to be an adult who appreciates nice clothing, buys expensive stuff and takes care of it. Wonder of wonders!
If there is a pretty good possibility that he will lose whatever he buys, make sure he always has a second rag - an awful looking coat on hand that he can wear as an emergency coat until he picks out and buys his next coat. The secret is to have fun with this. Take a picture of him wearing the coats he picks out. They may look pretty bad considering how poor he is! You'll love looking at those pictures and reminiscing when he is an adult! Myself, I would allow my kid to be somewhat cold, but I would certainly stop short of allowing him to outright freeze.
And, when health issues are present, as in your case, natural consequences may not be appropriate. Pages 22 – 31 of Parenting Children with Health Issues teach the important distinctions between using natural and imposed consequences. Natural consequences should never be used when they can result in danger to life or limb. So, if your child's health might be affected by not wearing a coat, then the "used coat" option is the way to go.
Luckily, as is often the case, this problem appears to be chronic. So we can plan ahead for it. And we can wait for a good time because chronic problems will always crop up again. No sense rushing into a solution!
Now, with your daughter, have fun brainstorming solutions that only involve her. Some ideas can be immediately discarded such as gluing a large piece of sandpaper onto a big piece of cardboard on the floor so she can rub her back on that. :-) Or perhaps you can decide that she simply needs to have one type of ointment or another available and a back scratchier and sponge so she can apply when she is very, very itchy in the middle of the night. I'm sure you can be more creative than I.
The point is: you need your sleep and waking you up is NOT one of the options!
Just remember to always solve chronic problems when they are not occurring. Problem-solving can be fun for the parent, if not for the child. Hopefully it will be fun for both of you.
It is hard when the consequences of a child's lack of self-care affect the whole family. Foster gave some great ideas about how to problem-solve together. But what if she just won't take care of herself and doesn't really care about how she affects everyone else? The key is to find a way to ensure that the consequences (of your daughter's bad self-care) affect her the most (without ever crossing the line to "damaging to life or limb"). This is where imposed logical consequences come into play: when natural consequences affect others or are too harsh to allow. We discuss this at length on pages 23-31 of our book.

Most issues like this one are time limited, and if parents don't show frustration and model the right behavior they are simple stages and children generally outgrow them.
When children are 1 1/2 through 2 1/2, parents simply have to put up with a bit of nonsense. Sorry about that! However, things will probably turn around if you handle pureed eating in a "matter of fact" way that is not particularly fun. I mean, don't be grouchy but when the child is "forcing a parent into a non-optimal position," it should be no fun for the kid. However, if a parent shows frustration, it always makes the situation worse.
On the other hand, it is important to make each time of eating "regular food" a real blast. Give yourself a pea and go crazy over the taste of it. Show particular joy in eating all those foods you would like her to accept. Do a lot of joyful modeling as you chow down on the right vittles! Have fun.
Finally, always keep in mind that the taste buds of children are different than those in an adult. Things taste very different to children. Children taste things on the side of their tongue in the back. Almost all adult taste is on the tip of the tongue. Things that taste really good to an adult may taste like they came right off the barnyard to a child. So give your kids some slack for not trying certain foods!
I hope this is helpful. - Foster W. Cline, M.D.
One of the first "demeanors" every parent should perfect is the "matter-of-fact and not particularly fun" demeanor as described above by Foster. This is also known as "poker face." We don't want to make undesirable behavior "pay off" by showing any kind of emotion around it. This includes both positive and negative emotion. Either response can cause the behavior to continue well past its natural life expectancy.
Poker face is very useful in situations where you need to help a child with a necessary task that you don't particularly want to encourage. This includes food issues, changing diapers for a child who is in potty training or dealing with a child's misbehavior.
Use poker face in situations where you are tempted to express negative responses like anger or frustration. And use joy, joy, joy in situations that you want to encourage.
Practice your poker face in the mirror till you know just how it feels. When you are feeling the beginning twangs of frustration over your child's behavior, immediately put on the poker face. Then, pull out the old Love and Logic tool box to respond accordingly.
And lastly, with tube feeding, there can be oral aversion issues at play. There are specialists that can help you in this area so be sure to check with your doctor about this.
This simply falls under the category, "Never lie to your kid!" If you don't know how other people have handled it, then don't use this statement.
There can be an inherent problem when using Love and Logic. Love and Logic teaches all kinds of caring, truthful statements, tools and techniques that parents can profitably make to enhance the parent-child relationship. However, these tools can be tossed off so frequently and lightly that they lose their message. For instance, one example might be, "That is so sad for you" which, when said with caring, lays the problem on the child while allowing the parent to show loving regard. Yet, the same phrase can also be said with all the empathy that a leopard seal shows while eating a penguin!
It sounds to me like you need to say to your child, "It looks like you need to research what other children have done or you are likely to make your own unique mistake. That would be sad for you."
The essential facts around sharing the thinking and problem solving are covered in Parenting Children with Health Issues on pages 31-34. Love and Logic's Five Steps to Problem Solving are shown in the Powerpoint presentation of this website.

AC/DC's New Song 'Demon Fire' Featured In 'Fortnite Galactus' Event (Video)
AC/DC's new song "Demon Fire" was featured in the final tense shooting sequence in the Fortnite Galactus event, which took place earlier today (Tuesday, December 1). The game's Chapter 2, Season 4-ending live event saw players take control of Fortnite's iconic Battle Bus, which drops users onto the playing field at the start of every game, and fight the planet-eating Galactus in an epic battle to save reality. It laid the groundwork for the start of Fortnite: Season 5, which is hours away.
According to Gamespot, some Twitch streamers resorted to cutting the game's audio in order to avoid getting flagged by Twitch's copyright detection systems due to the use of the AC/DC song.
"Demon Fire" is taken from AC/DC's latest album, "Power Up", which was released on November 13. The LP features AC/DC's 2020 lineup of Brian Johnson (vocals), Phil Rudd (drums), Cliff Williams (bass), Angus Young (guitar) and Stevie Young (guitar). It was recorded over a six-week period in August and September 2018 at Warehouse Studios in Vancouver with producer Brendan O'Brien, who also worked 2008's "Black Ice" and 2014's "Rock Or Bust".
"What I like about Brendan is that he keeps you working when you're doing a project with him," Angus told Rolling Stone. "He's talented himself. He knows his bass and his guitar and a bit of drums. And piano. He covers the spectrum for what we can do musically. It's very good because you're working with a musician, since he can apply that musical knowledge."
Although AC/DC originally planned on releasing "Power Up" earlier this year, the pandemic forced the band to reconsider.
"We were hoping to get the album out before all this happened," Angus said. "They were getting ideas together for packaging and video promo things. And then that virus thing came along. It kind of put everyone on hold."
"Power Up" hit the No. 1 spot in 18 countries, including in the U.S., where it sold over 117,000 copies in the first week. It is the fastest-selling album of 2020 in at least three of its biggest markets — U.S., Australia and the U.K.
"Power Up" is a tribute to Angus's brother Malcolm Young, who died in 2017 from effects of dementia at age 64. Malcolm is credited as a writer on all 12 tracks on "Power Up", along with Angus.

After delivering a series of "woe"s to the Pharisees, Jesus turned to the teachers of the law with some equally reproachful words. In this message, Alistair Begg breaks down Jesus' three rebukes. The teachers Jesus confronted burdened the people with needless rules, participated in their fathers' persecution of the prophets, and woefully led the people away from the true key to the Scriptures: Christ Himself. We, too, should practice self-examination so we can be careful not to lead others astray.

What's the point of consciousness? The brain-wide information sharing system that now seems to define consciousness allows relevant cortical and subcortical systems to interact before agreeing to one interpretation of an event. This shared decisional system within a single brain could also help us to understand how groups of brains might also democratically solve complex cultural issues. It also makes it possible to finally consider the possibility of machine consciousness a couple thousand years after Socrates suggested how important it was to "know thyself".
In his recent highly acclaimed book, Consciousness and the Brain: Deciphering How the Brain Codes Our Thoughts (2014) the world-renowned neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene analyzed and reported on the consciousness research that his and other laboratories carried out. Dehaene believes that advanced research technologies during the past 20 years now allow neuroscientists to finally free themselves from a disembodied consciousness and to strongly support the existence of brain correlates, which are probably centered in our brain's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex but are then connected with most other brain systems (Dehaene, p. 101).
We're only conscious of our conscious thoughts. Outside of research labs we're unaware of our unconscious operations, so we tend to overestimate the role that consciousness plays in our physical and mental lives. Daehene believes that the research credibly indicates that our brain contains unconscious systems that constantly monitor our environment and assign values that guide our attention and thus shape much of our behavior. The initially meaningless incoming stimuli become a set of opportunities that in parallel are carefully and unconsciously sorted according to their relevance to current goals. Only the most relevant stimuli draw enough attention to enter into consciousness. Below that level unconscious systems ceaselessly and statistically evaluate probabilities. Much of our attention thus operates largely in a subliminal manner. Think of TV weather forecasters who combine a myriad of unconscious statistical observations before they consciously and briefly predict weather probabilities during the next few days -- and how often they get it wrong.
Since most inputs into our brain are initially suppressed, consciousness includes the need to be awake, vigilant, and to have a specific attentive focus (all of which Dehaene suggests have both unconscious and conscious elements). Since we can simultaneously deal with only a few inputs at most, the determination of the significant and insignificant is important.
The concept of conscious access is the central element in our understanding of consciousness in that at least some of the information that we specifically attend to must eventually reach cognitive levels that allow us to report our thoughts to others. Being awake and attentive aren't enough. Conscious access implies a sense of self, the 'I' who is interpreting and commenting on the results of conscious experience.
Dehaene relates this reductive element of consciousness to the spokesperson of a large organization who reduces the complexity of an issue to a simple non-technical announcement that expresses its substance. The global workspace thus maintains conscious thought that it can incorporate into understanding past and current events and making future plans. The philosopher Daniel Dennett wryly calls such increased activity in the global workspace as "fame in the brain".
Various maternal hormones sedate a preconscious fetus. Birth triggers a massive surge of stress hormones and neuronal stimulations that activate the various systems that regulate consciousness. Conscious behavior begins slowly and sluggishly, developing over a 20 year period as parents and educators well know. Delivery is thus the genuine birth of a conscious mind.
As a social species, we have a tribal tendency to adopt the conscious beliefs of others. We thus tend to develop cultural beliefs either by conscious choice or by default (such as accepting parental beliefs) and so we often allow such organizations as religions and political parties to influence our thinking through their biased basic perspectives. In effect, they do our preliminary thinking. Is this any different than accepting the opinions of newspaper columnists or TV pundits? How socially-driven human beliefs relates to machine consciousness provides an intriguing problem, one that the article below will explore.
Our understanding of the field of consciousness is thus growing rapidly, but so are the questions about it.
The previous article explored recent advances in our understanding of consciousness from the perspective of an internationally renowned cognitive neuroscientist, Stanislas Dehaene. This article focuses on the perspective from the renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, as explored in his excellent non-technical The Future of the Mind: The scientific quest to understand, enhance, and empower the mind (2014). Kaku takes readers on an incredible tour from the beginnings of consciousness and intelligence to the increased roles that robotic technology will play in future cognitive behavior -- and then on to possible explorations in other planets.
Telescopes that could compress space and thus allow us to see galaxies up close had been invented 350 years before we could make the major step forward to enter the space age. Conversely, it only took 15 years from the invention of brain imaging technology to bypass our skull and observe brain functions up close.
Nature functions on gravity, electromagnetism, and weak/strong nuclear forces. Part of the rapid progress in the ability to observe brain function occurred because physicists now have a good understanding of electromagnetism. These govern the electrical signals that process neuronal activity and are also the basis of the most advanced imaging technologies. Cognitive neuroscientists, who understood about 30 brain regions prior to imaging technology, now understand the basic roles of several hundred.
Consciousness is central to human rational thought. Animal consciousness is predicated on the kinds of information that's important to the species' survival (which differs in bats, dolphins, and humans for example).
Many brain sub-units cobble together, each competing with the others in feedback loops to create a model that best represents and responds to the current challenge. The feedback loops process how we relate to space, time, society, and a possible future. This conscious activity feels smooth and continuous. The internal almost collegial brainstorming that we engage in (often at multiple levels) seems so normal that we're not really aware of it. Eventually our brain's CEO (the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) makes up its mind after evaluating the past, assessing the present, and simulating the future. If we make a wrong decision we'll typically come up with an explanation that makes the decision appropriate. Or else we'll just laugh it off.
The laughter of humor depends on the punch line. We can imagine how the story will turn out on the basis of our extensive understanding of the physical and social world. Laughter is the release when the punch line provides an unexpected conclusion. That's the essence of humor. Our survival depends on our ability to foresee and effectively respond to unanticipated events. Humor certainly has other values but a sense of humor develops and maintains this capability in a pleasant non-threatening way. Play, games, and gossip are similar to humor in that they deal with unexpected outcomes to the solutions that folks develop.
The size of the female birth canal led to a human brain that's 1/3 of its adult size, leading to an extended juvenile dependent period that's focused on nurturing and formal education. We've become a very successful social species with a current life span in the upper 70s. The chimpanzee is our closest genetic relative, sharing 98.5% of our genes. It has half our life span and lacks both articulate speech and human technological capabilities. We thus have a slight genetic and social edge that scientists are now trying to understand. With the world's current population at seven billion and exponentially growing, humans dominate an already crowded earth.
What do we humans need to know about our cognitive capabilities and limitations in order to live in a probably increasingly complex world, given the profound ecological challenges that confront humans and the rest of the biosphere and the effect of advances in science and technology? Kaku devotes much of the rest of his book to this issue. His basic point is that we've pretty much maxed out the cognitive capabilities that we've developed through evolutionary processes. It may however be possible to use a combination of gene therapy, drugs, and imaging capabilities to increase our intelligence and collaborative potential in order to enhance our survival and that of the rest of the biosphere.
A relatively inexpensive approach would be to encourage the development of delayed gratification in children. The evidence is strong from longitudinal studies that children who are willing to delay gratification mature into adults who are socially and vocationally successful. Compare the costs of regular maintenance and replacement. It's much cheaper to provide regular maintenance of such things as a public building or a bridge or to respond in a timely manner to massive issues such as global warming, but we seem to prefer to not tax ourselves a little now, opting instead for our children to tax themselves substantially.
It's not that we don't intellectually understand the cost of delay. We have a rich history of the cost of cultural economic neglect. Knowing what has happened in the past is basically the initial element in problem solving the present with an eye to the future. For example, Kaku provides incredible descriptions of new technological discoveries that will enhance intelligence and motor control for people who suffer from various sensorimotor disabilities. Will we encourage the development and adoption of such technologies or continue to warehouse the disabled?
The complexity of the human brain with its trillions of synaptic connections mediated by more than 50 neurotransmitters suggests that things can and do go wrong because of the failure of various checks and balances that carry out assigned tasks. Addictions and such forms of mental illness as schizophrenia and obsessive/bipolar disorders can disable people. Other forms of mental illness can affect personal and family life.
We humans have gone from demonic possession to ostracism to talk therapy to drugs to the current situation in which all these solutions are still on the table -- artificial intelligence (AI) providing the latest potential therapy. Can such robotic technologies affect both normal and dysfunctional cognitive capabilities? Not an impossible thought since such previous technologies as dictionaries enhanced memory, clocks kept time, autos extended mobility, and phones enhanced communication at a distance. Kaku describes several of the promising new AI systems.
Pattern recognition and common sense are the two basic problems that confront AI. For example, robots have a problem with the essence of such things as a chair. They can easily translate a chair into lines/edges/dots/pixels but the great variety of coverings, sizes, and shapes mystify a robot (albeit not a four year old child). Further, imagine the computer code that can interpret such a phrase as "muggy weather is uncomfortable", something humans can easily understand. Common sense is currently common only to humans.
Life forms emerged on earth 3.5 billion years ago when the ocean's stirred organic soup produced the self-perpetuating bubbles that became our planet's earliest lifeforms. Error-prone copying resulted in a continuous production of diverse forms of life. Those that best adapted to the current conditions flourished, while the incidence of less-adapted forms decreased. Sentient conscious people appeared 200,000 years ago. Kaku suggests that we're probably still several decades away from developing robots that can function normally in human society. Even then such issues as self-awareness, recognizing emotions, feeling pain, and developing ethical behavior indicate the great distance between what robots can do now and will still need to master in order to meet potential environmental challenges.
Could the basic concept of evolutionary progression continue into the future as human wetware and robotic hardware merge, something analogous to the symbiotic relationship that we already have with bacteria and immune cells? Many of us now wear glasses and some have pacemakers, cochlear implants, or artificial retinas. Most people carry a cell phone. Will the emerging wetware/hardware combination stop at that or will we reach a point at which replicating inorganic material can exist within humans as bacteria and immune cells currently do? Given the concept of evolution, does a scientific reason exist why;it can't?
Cognitive neuroscientist Douglas Hoffstadter suggested to Kaku in a discussion that we might begin to think of robots as being our children. We should begin to love them as we do our human children, realizing that robots might take over in the end (as our human children do now).

The refinement of the Côte d'Azur has been passed down by a generation of nobles to visitors of exclusive sites such as Montecarlo, Saint-Tropez, Antibes and Juan-les-Pins.
Nice is just as significant, presenting the immortal panorama of the Promenade des Anglais, the pedestrian by the sea, extending from the airport to the port, 5 km long, accompanied by the palm trees of the famous French Riviera.
Nice is the primary port of entry to the Côte d'Azur, thanks to France's second airport.
Four out of ten visitors who come here are attracted to Nice for a number of reasons: the quality of the infrastructure and hospitality, 7 km of beaches, always accessible thanks to an ideal climate with more than 3,000 hours of sun per year, hundreds of restaurants representing French cuisine, the first port in France for cruise ships, a hotel industry that is second only to Paris and, finally, a series of events, traditional festivals and top rate level exhibitions.
In addition to the Nice Carnival, a must-see event, the numerous traditional festivals are not to be missed, such as la fête des Mais, la fête des Cougourdons, la fête de la vigne and the Niçoise gastronomy festival, in the squares and streets of the old town, surrounded and protected by buildings decorated in trompe-l'oeil.
Tradition is jealously preserved by the Niçoise, who keep their market culture alive, with markets selling flowers, fruits and legumes, as well as fish at Place Saint-Françoise.
The warm colors of Nice's nature have always inspired great fascination in artists, writers, sculptors and musicians. The heritage left behind by great artists such as Matisse, Marc Chagall, Yves Klein and Arman is present in the city's various museums, among which are the Matisse Museum, the Chagall Museum and the MAMAC.

Kazakhstan's Nursultan Nazarbayev helped steer his vast, oil-rich Central Asian nation through the turbulent years that followed the fall of the Soviet Union.
"It could indeed be a model for Putin, and this is by no means the first time this subject has come up," Zach Witlin, a senior analyst at the political consultancy Eurasia Group, said.
"It says something about Russia and the entire post-Soviet space that Putin and other leaders are approaching the succession trap," he added, referring to countries that do not have clear plans for transferring power.
Although Nazarbayev resigned from the presidency, he still holds the title "Leader of the Nation" and will stay on as the head of the ruling party and of the Security Council, a lifetime position.
"As the founder of the independent Kazakh state I see my task now in facilitating the rise of a new generation of leaders who will continue the reforms that are underway in the country," he said in a nationally televised address announcing his resignation.
On March 20, former Prime Minister Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was sworn in as the interim president, at least until the next election, which is slated for 2020. Tokayev immediately proposed renaming the country's capital from Astana to Nursultan, Nazarbayev's first name.
Nazarbayev's daughter, Dariga, was elected Senate speaker — a role that had just been vacated by Tokayev.
Nazarbayev has managed to step down as president without relinquishing influence, drawing comparisons to other world leaders who have done the same, such as Singapore's Lee Kwan Yew. That's something Putin could well want to emulate, said Alexander Gabuev, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center, a think tank.
In contrast, Nazarbayev has had to balance good relations with his country's two large neighbors, Russia and China, as well as the U.S. In a move away from the country's Soviet past, he also pushed for a switch to a Latin-based alphabet from a Cyrillic one.
In 2016, Uzbekistan's repressive leader, Islam Karimov, died, leaving his country and family without a clear succession plan.

he most basic truth about cannabis is that, quite simply, it is just a plant. It grows essentially the same way that any other plant in your garden grows. The scientific classification of the cannabis plant is cannabis sativa L. This classification was made by Carolus Linnaeus (thus the L.) in 1753. Further classification happened in 1785 when Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck added an additional species, cannabis indica, after studying varieties of cannabis that grew in and around India – specifically those in the Hidu Kush valley region. The plants do show distinctly different characteristics.
Sativa and sativa-dominant varieties are typically taller with fewer branches, long, thin leaves and a longer flowering season due to the regions and climates they grow in. Indica and indica-dominant varieties tend to be stockier plants with many side branches, large, wide leaves, and a relatively shorter flowering cycle when compared to the sativa varieties. While there is some debate whether these actually represent different species or simply varieties within a single species, usually people will speak of cannabis separated into three main families – sativa, indica and ruderalis. More on those later.
Cannabis, no matter the variety, is an annual plant that completes it's lifecyle in a single year, propagating through sexual reproduction. It is a dioecious plant, meaning that reproduction occurs between distinctly male and female plants.
Male plants produce pollen in small clusters of relatively-small blossoms, while female plants produce large blossoms that are made of calyxes. Each calyx has two pistils – long, feeler-like protrusions.
The female's flowers are covered in a sticky resin meant to capture the pollen released by the male plants, pollen which descends the sticky pistils, reaching the calyx where an ovule is fertilized by the male's pollen, producing a seed that is a genetic mixture of the two parent plants.
For this reason, male plants – while great for fiber and hemp-based products – do not have any value for medicinal or social applications. It is the female that is cultivated and dried for these purposes. You may have heard the term sinsemilla when referring to marijuana. This is Spanish for "without seeds" and is accomplished by removing male plants prior to them releasing pollen, thus preventing the ovules from being fertilized on the female plants, which in turn keeps the plant from spending energy on creating seeds. The response of the female plant in this situation is to increase blossom size and resin production as she does everything possible to receive pollen that may float by.
So let's talk about that stickiness you feel when you squeeze a marijuana bud between your fingers. The resin is actually comprised of small structures called trichomes that exist all over and around the cannabis flower on a female plant. These trichomes look like little stalks with a ball on top, and it is these structures that contain the cannabinoids that your body processes through the endocannabinoid system. These are what give your bud the appearance of being covered in sugar, what some call "frosty". It is also the substance that provides the distinctive smell of cannabis. These trichomes go through stages as well. The early stage, as the trichomes first form, is marked by a crystal clear appearance. As production of cannabinoids such as delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the main, known psychoactive produced by the cannabis plant – and cannabidiol (CBD) – which acts as a counter-agent to THC and has many benefits regarding health and regulatory functions within the human body – increase, the trichomes become cloudy or milky in appearance which marks the second stage of their development. As these substances degrade, the trichomes move onto a third stage demonstrated by an amber color – this, along with the pistils changing color, accounts for the brownish-red hairs on your bud. You will often hear of cultivators seeking to harvest when most of the trichomes are in the 2nd and 3rd stages – it is at this peak "ripeness" that a balance of properties and characteristics is achieved.
As seeds sprout, they eventually enter a growing stage, known as the vegetative stage. Initially the seedlings feed off of small, rounded "leaves" called cotyledons. These are not true leaves, but are photosynthetic, providing the needed energy for the tiny seedling to begin developing a strong root system in order to support the significant growth that will occur when it enters the vegetative stage. Once roots develop, the cotyledons wither and fall off, replaced by true leaves that have the familiar marijuana pattern and look. The juvenile plant begins gaining height and sending out branches and leaves which allow for further photosynthesis and thus larger and more lush growth. The plant recognizes that it should be in this stage based on the length of the daylight period. Eventually, sexual maturity is reached and pre-flowers begin to form. Pre-flowers indicate whether the plant is a male or a female and signal that the plant is ready to move into the next stage of development – the flowering stage – though they can remain in the vegetative state indefinitely under the right conditions.
As days grow shorter, the plant reaches a stage where it realizes it is time to begin the flowering (or fruiting) stage. At this stage the plant begins to stretch its main growth tips upwards in preparation for clusters of flowers that form large, conical blossoms that will develop a thick coating of trichomes (on the female plants) or smaller cluster that will fill with pollen (on the male plants). Indoor cultivation of cannabis actually replicates this by keeping the plants in the vegetative state under 18 hours of light followed by 6 hours of total darkness per day, and then switching to 12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of total darkness which triggers the flowering stage.
Indoor cultivators also typically use different mixes of light wavelengths in an attempt to imitate the light characteristics that would be present in nature during these two stages as well – with more blue light in the vegetative stage (thus imitating the sun being higher resulting in more of the red end of the spectrum being filtered out by the atmosphere, leaving relatively more blue light) and more red light in the flowering stage (the sun being lower and thus allowing for more red light to find its way to the plant). For this reason, many indoor growers utilize different bulbs or LED wavelength mixes for these two stages when growing cannabis. Both sativa and indica varieties follow this photoperiod-induced change to flowering, The exception is the third variety of cannabis – ruderalis – which moves from vegetative to the flowering stage based on time and development alone, not depending on the light/dark time periods. Maybe you have heard of "autoflowering" cannabis plants or seeds. These strains have genetics from the ruderalis line of cannabis bred into them in order to remove or reduce the dependency on lighting changes when growing cannabis.
Regarding the differences between the main two varieties of cannabis – sativa and indica – there are some contrasts regarding the makeup of their particular cannabinoid profiles. Most indica, and indica-dominant strains have a higher CBD:THC ratio. This is why strains that are indica-heavy can produce a relaxed or "couch-lock" effect as the CBD act as a counter-balance to the THC which produces the euphoric or cerebral effects. These indica-dominant strains are highly sought after for their medicinal properties and efficacy. Most sativa, and sativa-dominant strains have a much lower CBD:THC ratio (some nearing 0% CBD with 18%+ THC) and thus produces an effect that is more energetic and creative. These strains are valued for their pain relief and mood-elevating properties. While "landrace" strains (those native strains growing around the world which have changed through evolution alone) typically are pure indica or pure sativa plants, selective breeding and seed production has spawned a huge industry of experimentation and improvement as the best plants with the best qualities are bred together to create hybrids that produce a balanced effect with the most desirable characteristics from the indica and sativa parents (length of flowering, height of plant, yield of flowers/resin, THC/CBD profile, quality of effect, etc.). Ruderalis varieties are much smaller with considerably lower production – however they have been bred into sativa, indica and hybrid lines in order to introduce their automatic flowering (without requiring special light changes) into other strains of cannabis.
Cannabis is grown both outdoors and indoors for consumption. Outdoor cultivation relies on the natural influences of soil, sun, rain and the seasons to move the plant through its lifecycle and will typically result in much larger, higher producing plants. Indoor cultivation reduces the natural flowering time and seeks to produce the highest yields and quality through growing methods that range from soil, to hydroponics (no soil is used, instead the roots are bathed in a nutrient-water solution that is continually fed to the root system), to aeroponics (similar to hydroponics, but with the nutrient solution being misted onto the roots), to coco (looks like soil, but is actually coconut husks that have no nutrients and thus are watered with similar nutrient solutions used in hydroponics/aeroponics). Plant are kept in the vegetative period for as long as desired – the longer in this stage, the larger the plant and higher the yield typically (thus the reason for outdoor plants producing up to a pound or more of dried bud – they get huge) – and then placed under lights that are on a schedule which triggers flowering.
Once a cannabis plant has reached its peak, it's flowers are harvested, trimmed and hung to dry. The drying period varies based on room temperature, humidity and air movement, but typically a period of 4-7 days is required. Once line dry, it is placed into glass jars to cure.
Curing continues the drying process, allowing moisture to move from inside the plant out so it can evaporate. The taste, smell and quality of the smoke refines over this period as excess moisture is allowed to slowly work its way out of the flowers. Once dry, the flowers are ready for consumption – curing is not a necessary process, but improves the overall taste and smoothness of the herb.
Whether you vaporize it, roll it into a joint, smoke it out of a pipe or bong, or infuse it into butter or some other food product, it really is just a dried up herb that you are consuming. Nothing added. No chemical processes to make it all happen. Just a seed that was planted and did its thing. The stigma created around cannabis (marijuana) has displaced this foundational fact. We aren't talking about a "drug" here. We are talking about a plant. The DEA is not busting huge drug production facilities when dealing with marijuana, they are pulling plants out of someone's garden.

From people to places: focusing AIDS prevention efforts where it matters most

Author(s): Weir SS, Pailman C, Mahlalela X, Coetzee N, Meidany F, Boerma JT
AIDS 2003. 17:895-903.
Objectives: To develop and implement a method to identify and characterize places where people meet new sexual partners and to assess HIV prevention program coverage in those places. Methods: In three townships (populations 60 000-100 000 each) and one business district (population < 20 000) in South Africa, interviewers asked over 250 informants per area to identify public sites where people meet new sexual partners. All reported sites were visited and mapped. A knowledgeable person onsite was interviewed about the site and its patrons. Individuals socializing at sites were interviewed about their sexual behavior. Results: More than 200 sites in each township and 64 sites in the central business district were identified and visited. The male to female ratio among site patrons was approximately 2:1. In each area, men and women socializing at sites reported high rates of new sexual partner acquisition and low condom use. Almost half of the 3085 men and 1564 women interviewed while socializing reported having a new sexual partner in the last 4 weeks. A third reported meeting a new partner at the site of the interview. Commercial sex was rare in the townships but available at 31% of central business district sites. Fewer than 15% of township and only 20% of business district sites had condoms. Conclusion: The PLACE method successfully identified sites where people with high rates of new sexual partnerships can be reached for prevention programs. Sexual networks in these areas are extensive, diffuse, and characterized by high rates of new partnership formation and concurrency with little acknowledged commercial sex.

Is this the AI game-changing smartphone?
This week, Google launched the first phone made both inside and out by Google that is set to change the landscape for smartphones as we know them.
Equipped with a whole range of advanced features, including a fingerprint sensor on the back that users can swipe to access their notifications, a fast-charging, long-lasting battery (up to seven hours in just fifteen minutes), an incredibly high-quality camera and Google Assistant. It also comes in two different sizes; the 5in (12.7cm) or 5.5in (14cm) OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen.
Pixel is the first phone with Google Assistant built in. Somewhat like Apple's Siri tool, users just need to say, "Ok Google" or touch and hold the Home button to activate. Labelled as "your own personal Google, always ready to help", the tool allows you to hold a more advanced conversation with your device than any smartphone has before.
Instead of just giving commands in isolation like its competitors, Google Assistant is dialogue driven due to the advanced and sophisticated way in which it stores data. It can bring up anything on your phone from last weekend's photos to a review of your day on request. It also offers help with directions to a location your friend gave you in a text. Just say, "navigate there."
Now, the camera. The Pixel camera is the highest rated smartphone camera anyone has ever made, scoring a DxOMark Mobile of 89. The 12.3MP camera features an f/2.0 aperture and a sizeable 1.55 micron pixels that enable users to capture exceptionally high-quality photos in any kind of light.
Capture action shots easily with Smartburst – a tool that takes a sequence of shots at high speed and automatically picks the best one. The Lens Blur tool achieves shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, and with new exposure controls, users can finally capture dramatic scenery in a quality good enough to do it justice.
To top it all off, there's free unlimited storage for original quality photos and videos at full resolution in Google Photos.
Other key features include the pre-installed Google Duo and Allo, allowing users to video call and text their contacts, whether they're on Android or iOS.
Google's Pixel aims to be an app experience without needing any apps; a seamless way to access your Google ecosystem.
How well will this device fight off competition in the market from big players Apple and Amazon? Google will no doubt have to convince users that talking to a virtual assistant is better than using individual apps. As Pixel features an advanced version of many of its competitors' tools, it will be interesting to see how the consumer market reacts.

Where can I get a factory unlock (code) for my KDDI Japan iPhone 5?
Where can i get a factory unlock for my 32gb iPhone 5 locked to KDDI Japan. Can anyone help me with a website that offers unlock for that carrier and how much it will cost me?


Yep. That's a message many of us are giving ourselves every day.
We have a negative voice in our head that is constantly judging, criticizing, shaming and blaming and "shoulding" on us.
I stopped fighting with this voice a long time ago.
Just because you have a thought, doesn't make it so.
The negative voice(s) in your head will probably never totally disappear no matter how high you elevate your self-esteem, no matter how many personal growth workshops you take, or how much therapy you have – our core wounds never truly disappear 100%.
So, I suggest we just learn to have fun with this part of ourselves.
My sister, Debbie, would have told you to give this part of yourself a name – maybe call her "Nasty Nellie " or "Critical Carl" or "Negative Nancy" and when they show up, laugh in their face, tell them they are wrong and then give yourself a big hug and find a mirror in which to blow yourself a kiss!
We've all been there…..the days when we spiral down convinced that life just isn't going our way… that we are undeserving of love, or the new job, or the thing we are most wishing for.
Our mind goes into overdrive, some would call it a negative feedback loop, and we keep replaying the negativity over and over again, convinced our mind is telling us the truth.
BUT….just because you have a thought does not mean it's true!
It's up to us to begin to manage our thoughts and emotions and there are ways to do this but it requires a little time and attention.
2) Then take time to do a feelingization (go to www.soulmatesecret.com and scroll down to the Love Magnet video) to move from your monkey mind to your heart and begin to feel love, appreciation and gratitude. Remember, you attract MORE of what you are grateful for!
3) Now create a positive affirmation that FEELS GOOD IN YOUR BODY. Statements such as: I am a kind and loving being or I am grateful for all the love in my life right now. Whatever statement feels most natural to you. Write these on post-it notes and place where you can look at them daily.
I strongly encourage you to write this down and look at it daily. You deserve love and the one you are seeking is ALSO seeking you.


When sewing bloggers post about the pretty new bra they just sewed, I always wonder if the bra actually fits, if it's comfortable, and if they are actually still wearing it months or years later.
So here's an update on the bras I made a couple of years ago. Those bras no longer fit, but I wore the smallest three up until recently anyway. In fact, after all that work sewing 20+ bras in a row, the final bras I made only fit me for a few weeks. On the whole, my weight is usually stable, but somehow I decided to sew bras during one of the few times in my life my weight was fluctuating. First I gained weight, and then I changed my diet and lost weight. I kept wearing the bras I made even though they were too large because I was too tired of sewing bras to work on revising my bra pattern yet again, and they still fit better and were more comfortable than anything I could buy.
I recently decided my weight had been stable for long enough that I could face working on my bra pattern again. I realized I'd been holding back on sewing everything else I wanted to because I was afraid the garments wouldn't fit right after I finally had a correctly fitting bra. So I really needed to make some bras. I'm highly motivated to maintain my current weight, because I really don't want to have to adjust my bra pattern again for a long time!
This time adjusting my bra pattern was much easier. I put on my bra that was too large, marked a new wire line for the smaller wires I need now, carefully pinned out the extra fabric in the cups, and adjusted the pattern to match. Sizing down is definitely the way to go. It's hard to see how much larger you need to make a cup that is too small, but pinning out extra on a too large cup is not too difficult.
Then I made a bra muslin. I was shocked – it only needed a few small tweaks to fit perfectly! It's almost like I actually know what I'm doing. Which I would hope would be the case after sewing so many bras.
The second bra was wearable, but the fabric stretched out as I wore it, so I added a lining and an extra support piece to the bottom of the lower cup on the next versions. By the fourth bra I had a bra I was happy with, so I made a couple more. Unfortunately, these bras only fit me well for half of each month, so I made a second slightly larger "PMS" version of my bra pattern and sewed a couple more bras in that size.
Since every different fabric affects the fit of a bra, I decided to make things easy and just make a bunch of boring white bras.
However, after sewing a few white bras I started to get really tired of all of that white, so I made one bra using a scrap of yellow polka dot fabric, and I dyed another one red. The problem with dyeing is it's a hassle and the colors bleed in the wash.
I absolutely cannot stand to hand wash bras, so I put them in my front loading washer on the delicate cycle, and it seems a waste to run the washer just for one bra. With my last batch of bras I washed my red bras with the white ones and let the white ones turn pink, which I don't really want to do this time. Maybe I'll pick one white bra to wash with the red one, so I'll just have one that turns pink.
I do like the polka dots. The lower cups and sides of the cups are made from cotton shirting, so I have lots of fabric options for that part of the bra. Maybe I can find some more polka dot cotton shirting with colored dots on a white background. Then I could have a little bit of color, but I wouldn't have to worry about it bleeding in the wash. Stripes might be fun, too. I kept telling myself I was perfectly happy with white bras – I just wanted some bras that fit! However, in keeping with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as soon as I had a few white bras that fit, I started wanting some pretty ones, too.
Since my bra pattern is now fairly complicated and takes a while to sew, I was wondering if I could simplify my pattern if I made the cups out of duoplex, which does not need a lining. I had been avoiding duoplex because heavy-duty polyester fabric just did not sound appealing. I bought some duoplex, adjusted my pattern, and sewed up another version. The cups on this bra came out a bit pointy, almost like a bullet bra, and um, you can really tell when I get cold.
I could work on the duoplex version of the pattern to get a better shape, but I'm not going to, because I don't like wearing duoplex. It feels cold and clammy sometimes and too warm other times. It feels like wearing plastic (which it is). It also generates static electricity. It's hard to pinpoint why I don't like wearing polyester, but I feel slightly on edge and out of sorts all day when I wear it. I can see why people like duoplex for making bras, though. It's really sturdy and supportive, it has just a little stretch for comfort, and it is easy to sew. I'll wear this bra occasionally, when I'm behind on laundry, but it's definitely not my favorite.
I make the upper portion of my bra cups out of nylon tricot, but this doesn't bother me like duoplex does. It probably helps that it's a smaller piece of synthetic fabric, not the whole cup. Also, nylon breathes better and is softer than polyester.
The key to comfortable underwires for me is to topstitch a second set of channeling on the outside of the bra and put the wires in the outer channeling. That way the wires don't dig into my ribs.
Here's an inside view. With the lining, it looks almost as nice as the outside.
It took me a while to figure out which fabric and notions I like for bra making. Unfortunately the supplies I like come from several different online shops, so I end up paying a lot in shipping costs. I'm not sure whether I should stock up on more supplies now while items are still available, or wait in case I want to make a different type of bra next time.
I should at least stock up on 5/8″ band elastic from Bravo Bella, because this is absolutely the only type of band elastic that works for me. 1/2″ band elastic is too narrow. I've tried several different kinds, but they all cut into me at first and then stretch out over a couple of hours so I lose support. I'm baffled as to how anyone can make bras with it. All of the 3/4″ elastic I tried was so firm that when it was under any tension at all I had difficulty taking a full breath and got sore intercostal muscles. I imagine firm 3/4″ elastic is good for larger band sizes, but it doesn't work for me. The 5/8″ elastic from Bravo Bella has a high enough spandex content to be comfortable and hold its shape for a whole day and the width is just right.
Upper cup on both outer cup and lining, and outer straps: 40 denier nylon tricot. Needs to be pre-shrunk.
Back band fabric: Power net from Porcelynne. Sadly, no longer available. This is the best power net I've ever had – it's thin, but provides good support.
Neckline elastic: 3/8″ elastic from BiasBespoke on Etsy (it's listed as 1/2″ but the actual elastic width excluding picots is 3/8″). The neckline elastic is not under much tension, so I find pretty much any elastic works there. I just used this elastic because I had some and it's pretty.
Strap elastic: PE 580 3/4″ strap elastic from Sew Sassy. This is very high quality strapping elastic.
Strap inner padding: I used Moisture Wicking Diamond Knit (I have it in white, which appears to be no longer available). If I run out of this, I'll probably use 1/16″ bra foam instead.
Strap sliders: 3/4″ Nylon covered metal sliders. I got these from a couple of different places (I think Sew Sassy and Porcelynne), and the quality was the same. I use a second set of sliders instead of rings to connect the elastic strapping to the non-stretch straps. I think in the future I'll get silver colored sliders so I won't have to dye them and can use them on any color bra.
Bridge stabilizer: I used silk organza on some of the bras and nylon sheer cup lining on the others. They both work equally well.
Channeling: CH909 – White Flat Bra Channeling from Sew Sassy. I like this better than any other channeling I've purchased, but it needs to be preshrunk really well before using it (I learned that the hard way).
Underwires: Flex-Lite underwires from Bravo Bella or Sew Sassy. The sizes are labeled differently on the two sites. Add 6 to the Sew Sassy Flex-Lite size to get the BravoBella size.
I'm happy with my current me-made bras, but I thought it would be nice to also have a foam cup bra for occasions when I want a smoother look. I know you can buy pre-made foam cups and cover them with stretchy fabric, but I imagine I would have to buy several different sizes of cups to find the right size, and they are not cheap. Plus I just don't want to have to start over and learn how to make a different type of bra fit me. It finally occurred to me that since I can make a bra from scratch, I could probably alter a ready-to-wear bra to fit me, too.
I looked for a full frame bra with a foam cup. Full frame bras are kind of hard to find. Most ready-to-wear bras are partial band bras. The flexible wires I use do not work in partial band bras and the band just doesn't stay in place as well on that type of bra, so I did not want a partial band bra. I thought I'd try ordering a bra online, so I'd at least have a larger selection to choose from. I can never find both the style and size I want in a store, so I didn't see how purchasing online could be any worse. Plus many sellers offer free returns.
Calculating my bra size from my measurements puts me in a 32D, but I know from experience a size 32 band is way too tight, so going up a band size and down a cup size would put me in the sister size 34C. However I also know from past experience that 34C bra cups are too small for me. So I thought I'd try size 34D. I'm one of those people whose measurements don't put me in the right size. Not that there is a ready-to-wear size that fits me.
The first bra I tried was the Hanes Ultimate T-Shirt Soft Foam Light Lift Bra*. When I first tried it on, the wires were significantly too narrow, and I did not fill out the upper part of the cups. I took out the wires and replaced them with ones that fit me. These wider wires pushed the sides of the cup outward, making the upper part of the back band too long. Rather than doing a complex alteration and taking the bra apart, I decided to just sew a dart in the band. When I put on the altered bra, the wires fit, but the cup volume was now a little too small, since the cup was pulled into a wider shape with the wider wires. The wires did not touch my chest in the center, and they poked into me on the sides. I cut some wide plush elastic and hand sewed it in place on the inside to pad the ends of the wires and cover the lump caused by the dart. This bra is now wearable, even though the fit is not perfect and it's not as comfortable as the bras I sewed. I can wear the Hanes bra for a full day without experiencing pain, so I'm calling it a success.
I thought since the cups on the 34D were too small after changing the wire size, I would try a 34DD, but the Hanes bra was not available in that size, so I bought a size 34DD Bali One Smooth U Ultra Light Embroidered Frame Underwire Bra*. When I tried on this bra, to my utter astonishment and delight, the underwires were the perfect size. The band fit, too. However, the cups were much too large.
The cups on this bra are made from 1/16″ foam that is an even thickness and is easy to sew through. I pinned out a 1″ wide dart in each cup to see about how much I needed to take out. Then I took apart the bra, cut off 1/2″ all the way around the wireline edge of the cups, and sewed everything back together.
This alteration was almost as much work as sewing an entire bra. The bra now fits and is reasonably comfortable. I don't really care for the shape of the cups, though. They flatten my breasts and push them out to the sides like a minimizer bra does. I don't think that this shape is just because I altered the cups, since it looks like the same thing is happening on the model in the product photos. I'm calling this bra a success, too. I wear it more often than the Hanes bra, but less often than the bras I made.
Although I'm not officially entering, my bras fit in well with the SMYLY (Sewing Makes You Love Yourself) challenge currently going on. After making this batch of bras, for the first time in my life, I have a drawer full of supportive bras that fit. It was a ton of work to get to this point, and I'm proud of myself for finally getting this done.
Being able to wear an underwire bra is a big deal to me. I've always wanted the support of underwires and been jealous of other women who could wear them, but I've never been able to find an underwire bra that fits, so I've always resorted to wearing poorly fitting non-wired bras. The bands on non-wired bras always cut into me painfully on the sides, so I've found that a correctly fitting underwire bra is actually more comfortable than a non-wired bra. My underwire bras are just as comfortable at the end of the day as when I put them on in the morning. Yay!
The underwires take the weight of my bust off of my shoulders, so I feel so much lighter and my posture is better. Plus it no longer bothers me that I'm getting older and saggier, because when I put on one of my bras, I feel young and perky again. I look down at my chest and I'm like, "Hello, girls, nice to see you back up where you used to be!" It's amazing how wearing a comfortable, supportive bra improves my whole outlook on life.
Thank you so much for your informative posting here! I will be back, bras are in my near future and I'm glad to know about your resources and links.
Good luck! My main stumbling blocks were finding the right size and type of underwires, making the right type of bra (partial band did not work for me), and finding the right band elastic. Hopefully you can start with a good pattern and have an easier time than I did.
I have followed your bra making adventures with interest as I have been experimenting too. I have not found a satisfactory solution for underwires and so settled for soft-cup bras.
However, I now have a new problem – I broke my shoulder last year and cannot put my arm far enough round my back to fasten a normal bra so now have to work out how to get a comfortable, supportive front-fastening bra. Oh the frustration!
I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. Can you cut your existing bras up the center front, bind the edges, and sew on regular hooks and eyes? This might be difficult with some styles of bras, but I would think it should work fine for most bras.
