The endless dance between being a solo mama and the owner of an expanding entrepreneurial business here in Thailand is tough. Last week, Miss 16 asked if we could ***please try to eat earlier***. Cos the 9pm plus meals were just too late and her study load as final exams approach leaves her needing to sleep earlier. What that REALLY means is mama has to reconfigure the way she uses her time, and reassess what we cook and serve. And it has to be not only EASY, but low carb, vegan-ish and healthy. Enter my Slow Cooker. Ta Da!!! And enter the idea of throwing some old cooking habits out the window. One of the easiest dishes I have created - and cook regularly - is an easy slow cooker black bean dish. Takes all of 20 mins to prepare, with NO pre-soaking or prep of the black beans in any way. ![]() Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-120586/@artemislives/easy-low-carb-slow-cooker-vegan-black-beans

Can we tell if a particular cannabis flower has been successfully pollinated just by looking at it? Yes! I pollinated certain parts of my Reclining Buddha cannabis garden a few days ago, and as these photographs show, there are already clear differences that the perceptive gardener can spot!The VirginThe untouched, virginal, and unpollinated flower (shown on left above) has long and fluffy pistils that are white and pointed upward.The Mother-to-beThe side of the plant which DID get visited by a pollen-coated cotton swab looks quite different. First, here she is 4 days ago, at the moment of conception:Congratulations! She's pregnant! A new generation has been bred, and is now being nurtured inside the mother plant. In just a few weeks, protective shells will form around these baby plants, and when the flowers are dried, the seeds will be gathered and saved.The lower nodes of the same pollinated branch look the same:So yes, there are several clear indicators to look for when checking for successful pollination in cannabis plants. I hope these photographs and descriptions clearly demonstrate those indicators.Control groupMy other two females didn't get involved whatsoever. They're just doing their thing, unaware a male was ever among them! (He's in the compost now. RIP "Monster".) Because they aren't part of the experiment, it's useful to follow their progress as well. So far, one is unremarkable, but the other seems to be accelerating:Lots of growth - a big afro of pistils reaching and stretching for pollen! She clearly resembles the unpollinated side of the other plants, showing no signs of pollination at all.I wouldn't exactly say she's "stacking up" or anything, but for 200% organic plants, this early into flowering, that's pretty good. In other words, maybe not having ANY pollinated flowers at all might boost a plant's sensimillia (seedless bud) production significantly. That's worth noting, because I had previously believed that pollinating half a plant didn't affect the other half. It would mean I should treat each plant as either a seed-bearing plant or a medicine-bearing plant, not pollinating parts of plants. More experimentation is required.Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-195708/@drutter/pollinated-versus-unpollinated-cannabis-flowers

I don’t know about you, but I find breakfast to be the most challenging meal of the day. I generally don’t wake up wanting food, and I certainly don’t want to start the day with anything sweet. Why are so many breakfast foods sweet? But I know I should start the day off right, and something healthy and savory is appealing. So I devised a way to make breakfast fast, healthy, interesting and hearty! # Meet the Breakfast Frittata Join Hive at Hive.ioHive is a social blockchain where you can join communities, blog about your favorite topics, curate content and earn cryptocurrency.

Hello, folks! Javier here for the first time doing a third curation in a week, yet this post is only to cover for the ones I couldn't do a couple of weeks ago. Lotus Love is a peculiar curation too because it kind of summarizes the quality of the entire week, and we've had some really amazing posts of late, no doubt about that! How did you work with the Full Moon in Virgo this Saturday? I did my usual Lunation Ritual and reorganized some important data that was a bit strewn all over the place, connecting the dots and establishing references, coordinates. This is often most important when we're crossing a threshold, unlocking a new potentiality or simply encountering a radically unfamiliar context, such as the one we've been traversing for the past few years. The posts I bring you today deal with recognizing personal potential, expanding our ambitions and working toward improving our relationship with ourselves in a changing world.

Line up shortest to tallest!" the teacher calls out. "Not again," some kids might groan — especially if they have to stand at one end or the other. For most kids, height isn't something they can change, so what do you do if you don't like how tall or short you are? It might be girls feeling too tall and boys feeling too short. But some really tall boys might not like all that height and some shorter girls might get tired of all the jokes or of feeling like they're staying little while their friends are growing up. It's in Your Genes But the truth is that everyone is growing up — it's just that they're doing it at their own pace. In other words, your body grows on its own schedule. You can't wish yourself taller or stretch yourself. Or if you're already tall, you can't do anything to hurry your friends up so you're not the tallest one. For kids concerned about their height, there are two big questions: When will I grow taller (or stop growing)? How tall will I be? Your genes, which you inherited from your parents, largely determine how tall you will end up being and how fast you'll grow. Kids get taller more quickly during growth spurts, times when their bodies grow fast — as much as 4 inches or more in a year during puberty, for example! When Does Height Happen? Your biggest growth spurt happened when you were a baby. In that first year of life, you grew about 10 inches as you got bigger and stronger. Since then, you've probably seen your height increase a few inches a year. You might find out how much you've grown during your annual checkup at the doctor's office or when your pants get too short. Uh, oh — we can see your ankles! After babyhood, the next big growth spurt for kids comes during puberty, a time of many changes when boys and girls grow bigger and start to look more like adult men and women. But no one can tell you exactly when you'll experience these changes. Puberty starts at different ages for different kids and it is a process that takes a couple of years. So the getting taller part will happen at different ages, depending on the kid, and whether he or she is a boy or a girl. In general, puberty starts: between ages 8 and 13 in girls between 9 and 15 in boys During puberty, boys and girls will have a growth spurt and grow to their adult height. So that means girls who start puberty the latest will still be getting taller in their mid-teens. For boys, the latest to reach puberty will still be getting taller into their late teens. A few of these boys may grow taller even into their early twenties! How Tall Will I Be? You might want to know how tall you will be. Will you be nose to nose with your mom or dad someday? There's no way to know for sure how tall a kid will be as an adult, but it's easy to get a clue: Look at your parents and the other adult members of your family. How tall are they? Chances are you'll be around the same height as your parents. If one parent is tall and one short, then you're likely to end up somewhere in between. But you could be taller or shorter, too. Boy, there are a lot of "buts" when it comes to height! That's because your height is determined by your genes — the complicated code of instructions that you inherit from your parents. Genes tell your body how to grow and determine lots of things, including how tall you are. But those genes don't make you an exact copy of your mom or dad. Kids only get some of the genes from each of their parents, and parents don't give the same bunch of their genes to each kid. If you have brothers and sisters, you know this is true. Brothers and sisters can look very different even though you have the same parents. Even identical twins can end up being different heights! Height-Related Worries Here are some things some short or tall kids might have to deal with: You're too short to ride the rides you want to ride at an amusement park. This one is upsetting. You're all ready to board the super-fast roller coaster and the ride operator says you're too small. Sometimes, you will be allowed to ride with an adult, so try to have one handy. You still have to use a booster seat in the car. Though you haven't used a car seat for a long time, older kids are supposed to use a booster seat until they are 4-feet-9-inches tall. The seats are meant to position the seat belt properly in case of a crash. If your friends don't have to use one and you do, you might feel funny about it. On the plus side, sitting higher makes it easier to see and might help if you get carsick and need to keep looking out the window. You're a girl who's taller than the boys. This can make a girl feel awkward, especially when it comes time to be paired up, like at a school dance. Eventually, this evens out, but it takes a little while because many girls have their growth spurts before the boys do. Someone teases you about being too tall or too short. This kind of teasing is the worst. You can't change your height, so what are you supposed to do? As with most teasing, try not to let it bother you. Tell a teacher, parent, or another adult if it's bothering you and the person won't stop. What Can I Do Right Now? If you are still worried about your height, talk to your parents and your doctor. Most kids don't have a growth problem that needs help from a doctor, but it's always OK to ask if you're concerned. So for most kids, it seems like there's not much to do but wait to see how it all turns out. But you can do something right now: Eat healthy and take care of yourself. If you get the nutrition, sleep, and exercise you need, you're likely to reach your maximum potential height. In other words, you'll grow as tall as you were meant to grow. And even though you may hear people say it, taking extra vitamins or supplements that you can buy in a store won't help you get taller. Just stick to a healthy diet if you want to be the tallest you can be! Kids who wish they weren't so tall should still eat healthy and take care of themselves, of course. Eating less won't make you end up any shorter unless you really starved yourself and made yourself sick. As they get older, most kids learn to feel comfortable with their height, whether they turn out tall, short, or somewhere in between.

Dear friends and family, hive community, Hello you, how are you? I hope everything is doing great for you. If you are following my post yesterday, you know that currently we are waiting for tomorrow, where an ambulance will send us to the capital hospital. It's a boring day says Ray. Since I didn't allow him playing games for more than 20 minutes. You know, it's not a good idea to hand him an android phone and let him play for hours. It will make him irritated, his mood will swing, and more obvious it will make him emotionally unstable. He is not always like this before, that's the changes that I see to him since his AA getting worse. So, to fill his boredom, I give him Bible. He ask a lot while he is reading. I tried my best to answer him. There is time I say I don't know. Well, It's the Bible, not everyone can fully understand everything in it.
