Portugal Celebrates 15 Years of Weed Decriminalization
In July 2001, the Portuguese parliament passed a law decriminalizing possession, acquisition, and use of small quantities of psychoactive substances, including marijuana. For years before that, Portugal had been know for its severe drug problems and its unsuccessful and harsh "war on drugs" policy.
Since then, the policy focus has shifted primarily to educating the population about drugs and taking measures aimed at preventing drug addiction. In Portugal, citizens are free to possess up to 25 grams (a little less than one ounce) of cannabis without fear of being punished by the law. What is more, much more dangerous substances like methamphetamine, MDMA, cocaine, and even heroin are allowed.
This may seem like quite a strange approach to policy-making at first, especially taking into account the fact that Portugal has had its share of drug problems. In fact, over 100,000 people in Portugal—a rather small nation of 10 million people—were addicted to heroin. Heroin itself is an incredibly addictive and dangerous drug, yet the problem was further complicated by an HIV epidemic due to shared usage of needles. The government of the republic faced a real national crisis and had to find a new approach to solving this long-standing problem.
Eventually, lawmakers in Portugal decided to formulate their new policy based on a founding belief that a drug addict is not a criminal but a sick person that requires medical care and treatment. At first, the idea of decriminalizing all drugs seemed like a desperate last-resort attempt to solve the problem. Yet, surprisingly for many, it worked better than most people could have anticipated. And we are not talking about some subjective opinions on the matter: since 2001, the number of people addicted to heroin has decreased by more than 60 percent. As for the number of deaths resulting from drug abuse, the results were even better—the total number of fatalities decreased by three-quarters. With drugs becoming completely decriminalized, the total number of people using any kind of drugs has actually decreased, both among minors and adults.
While the example of Portugal clearly demonstrates that the idea of leading a war on drugs only sounds like a tough but necessary solution but is actually inefficient to the point of being completely ineffective, it is important to note that decriminalization does not mean legalization. That is, while buyers and users of drugs do not face any penalties, sellers and producers do. This applies to marijuana as well. Theoretically, it may be legal to grow marijuana for your own use in Portugal; in practice, it is usually quite difficult to prove that your garden is intended only for personal use. Therefore, people in Portugal can still go to prison for cannabis cultivation.
Being a shining example of progressive drug policy, Portugal should really think about full legalization of cannabis—a substance that cannot be compared to heroin (or, for that matter, alcohol) with regard to its health effects. A vast body of cannabis research suggests that there is little reason to keep cannabis a controlled substance like LSD, cocaine or heroin. We at WeedLex urge the Portuguese government to commemorate the anniversary of their successful drug policy by starting a public discussion on full legalization of cannabis.
Virginia to Become Next State to Decriminalize Cannabis?
Virginia State Senate has recently received two bills that would significantly reduce penalties for those who commit the offense of cannabis possession. The new initiatives signal a positive shift in how marijuana is viewed by the state's authorities.

4 States to Consider Marijuana Legalization in 2017
In 2016, voters in four states supported the legalization of recreational marijuana. Following their example, more and more states across the U.S. are considering the possibility of changing their cannabis policies. Here is the list of four states that may make a decisive move towards fully legalizing weed in the next twelve months.
3 Countries With Most Liberal Marijuana Policies
Though not all states in the U.S. have adopted legislation liberal to drugs, Americans consume more drugs than people in any other country in the world.

Hobby Lobby, Dunham's to lease former Brookfield Kmart
The Hobby Lobby and Dunham's Sports retail chains plan to lease portions of a former Kmart store in the Town of Brookfield.
The stores are to open at the building, 18200 W. Blue Mound Road, by September, according to a BrookfieldNow.com article by reporter Geoff Bruce.
The Brookfield Kmart closed in December 2013, among a series of Kmart closings throughout the nation.
Building owner Continental Properties Co. in January disclosed plans to split the building into two spaces for new tenants, and to develop a new 6,000-square-foot building, divided into spaces for three tenants, in the southeast corner of the parking lot, near Blue Mound Road.

"What's a centon?" - Michael, from "Greetings from Earth"
"Whatever that is, I hope it's less than an hour." - Brenda on the centar, in "Experiment In Terra"
Battlestar Galactica fans have been at a loss for words when asked to explain what terms like centon or micron mean, and other Colonial time units. These terms were never formally defined in the series. Yet nobody has yet to produce an air-tight conversion table for the terms. This document attempts to provide one.
In general, Colonial time terms substitute nicely for more familiar ones -- centon for minute, micron for second. It is this light that this document is presented. What follows is a near complete list of the terms and their probable meanings.
Major Colonial Time Terms
millenium (1000 years)
1000 yahrens, or 1000 years. According to Adar's speech in the pilot episode, the Galacticans were approaching the 7th millenium of time, which would place their calendar in the late 6900's. There seems to be at least two Colonial calendars, for the Cylon raid on Umbra occured in 7322, some 20 yahren before the events in "The Man with Nine Lives". The second figure displaces the earlier figure by some 300 yahren or so.
yahren (year)
The yahren (yah'-rain) best represents the Colonial year, as both terms are used interchangeably in the series. In one case year was substituted for yahren in the dialog. In President Adar's statement in the pilot, he utters "The first peace man has known in a thousand years.".Therefore the yahren is the Colonial year. The plural can be represented as both yahren and yahrens. Taken from the German word for year.
sectar (month?)
The sectar (sec'-tar), and its plural sectares (sec-tar'-ays), or sometimes sectars , is used mostly in the context of space distance, much as micron and centon are. In "Lost Planet of the Gods", Lucifer measured the distance between the Galactica and Baltar's base ship in sectares. In "Baltar's Escape", Adama stated that "it has been seven sectars since the escape of our captives." A hidden assumption is that sectar is to secton what centar is to centon, a unit composed of an unknown number of sectons. Using a base ten system, a sectar could represent 10 sectons (or weeks). See micron for units that also double as units of space distance.
secton (week)
The secton (sec'-tawn) best represents the Colonial week. In "The Man With Nine Lives", Apollo complains to Starbuck about how he lost a secton's pay to one of Starbuck's gambling schemes. A purely arbirary definition of secton would be 100 centares, as 100 is the base for at least one other time unit (centar). There are compelling reasons to adopt this definition, as explained later in this document.
centar (hour)
The centar (sen'-tar) and its plural, centares (sen-tar'-ays), or sometimes centars, is the Colonial hour. In "Baltar's Escape", Baltar gave Adama three centares to give in to his demands. The centar is probably 100 centons, for in "Take the Celestra", the Celestra's mutineering crew says that the Galactica would be within its viewing range within a centar. The captain, who does not want the ship to be seen, instructs the crew to hail the Galactica within 80 centons. In "Take the Celestra", the crew were subjected to 16 centares intervals of work, the Colonial equivalent of double-shifting. There is an unknown time unit representing a 24 centar interval. For example, in "The Lost Warrior", Adama gave Starbuck and Boomer 24 centares to rescue Apollo. This unknown interval is best understood as a day, which constitutes 24 hours. Note, the Latin word for 100 is cent. (see also time cycle)
centon (minute)
In all but the first two episodes, centon (sen'-tawn) represents the Colonial minute. Witness the use of the expression "wait a centon," the Colonial version of "wait a minute." In "Gun on Ice Planet Zero", Starbuck and Apollo's chronometers were synchronized to 80 centons, the length of their mission to blow up the Ravishol Pulsar. For a discussion of the first two episodes and the original centon, see the next section.
micron (second)
The micron is best understood as the Colonial second. A centon is 100 microns, for when Apollo's counter hits one centon in "Gun On Ice Planet Zero", it starts counting down from 100 to 1. The micron is also used as a term of space distance in the series. When Rigel tells the fleet that the Cylon patrol craft are "three microns and closing," she is using micron in the same way that we use the expression light year. A light year represents the distant light travels within one year. Here micron represents the distance covered in one micron within an unknown fixed velocity. No relation to the Terran micron, or micrometer (one millionth of a meter.)
The First Two Episodes - Centon versus Senton
The discussion in this section covers units used almost exclusively in the pilot and "Lost Planet of the Gods", including the possible original context of centon. The time units used in these episodes seem to conform to a different system than those used in other episodes. These include senton, millisenton, and microsenton. The units here are more obviously metric than those used outside these episodes. A different spelling for senton is used here to distinguish it from the centon used throughout the rest of the series.
senton (week)
While it is well known that centon substituted well for minute in the series, the pilot episode provides compelling evidence that this was not always the case. At the Council session dealing with Carillon, Apollo informs the Council that Adama's plan would take the fleet sentons out of the way from its intended destination (Carillon). Later, Sire Uri informs the fleet that the voyage might resume within a senton. The senton may have originally been intended to represent the original Colonial week, represented by secton in most of the series. Although the senton-as-day seems to work as well as the senton-as-week, the presence of two other time units, microsentons and millisentons, and their respective metric conventions, supports the latter view. It is suggested that the Colonials redefined senton at one point to reflect "minute" (spelled as centon in this document), and that senton represents a pre-Destruction use of the term. The other two terms almost disappeared from the series.
millisenton (10 minutes)
This unit is used usually in the context of a few minutes. In "Lost Planet of the Gods", Adama says that they have been dining for three millisentons. Only one other episode uses this unit. In "The Living Legend", Sheba informs the mission crew that they have only a few millisentons to get in and out of Gamoray. Using the senton-as-week theory, the millisenton becomes 1/1000 of a senton (or secton). Therefore, a millisenton constitutes 10 centons (or 10 minutes.) Adama's repast, therefore, becomes 30 minutes, a reasonable legnth of time to eat. In the pilot, in the beginning of the Carillon sequences Greenbeam informs Apollo that is landram is 24 millisentons from the Tylium mine. That's 240 centons or 4 hours if a centon represents one minute.
microsenton (second)
Used by Starbuck in "Lost Planet of the Gods", in the context of one second. This unit was later taken over by the unit by micron, which was used exclusively in the first two episodes as a unit of space distance. In the metric system, micro represents one millionth. Using the senton-as-week rule, the microsenton becomes 1 millionth of a senton. If the senton (or secton) represents exactly 1 Earth week, the microsenton (or micron) would clock at 0.6 seconds.
Minor Colonial Time Units
centuron (100 yahrens)
In "Fire In Space", Dr. Salik said that Adama didn't have a "chance in a centuron". The Colonial century, or 100 yahrens.
quatron (week/fortnight/month)
In "The Magnificent Warriors", Adama complained that "I've been cooped up on this ship for 16 quatrons." (Apollo's response was "wait a minute!") Adama's last previous excursion off the ship was in the episide "Lost Planet of the Gods". Possibly a week, fortnight (14 days) or a month. The time period between the two episodes would be a choice between 4 and 16 months. A quarton equivalent to one secton (week) causes the least problems. The quatron is derived from the Latin word for four.
time cycle (day)
In "Greetings from Earth", it was said that the visitors would expire before the time cycle was over. Probably the Colonial day - consisting of 24 (or 25 if you prefer) centares.
A Sample Conversion Table
Based on the pseudo-metric used in the series, and a base 100 ratio, here is a sample table for the four main Colonial units, using secton as exactly one week. Note, the centon is almost exactly one minute, for there are 10,080 minutes within an Earth week, and 10,000 centons within a secton.
secton - 1 week
centar - 101 minutes (1.7 hours)
centon - 1 minute
micron - 0.6 seconds
This is an extremely attractive conversion table, and conforms to the hidden assumptions for each of the four basic units. All tables present their own set of problems. The double-shift on the Celestra consisting of 16 centares is equivalent to almost 27 hours of non-stop work. We know from the episode that 16 centares represents an extraordinary length of time for a work shift. The Colonials may have a higher capacity for duration between sleep cycles. With this in mind, the 27 hour shift becomes slightly more palatable.
A Guide to Galactica Storytellers
Trying to create or utilize a Colonial time conversion table can be a distracting exercise. In constructing scripts and stories (outside of time-critical situtations), the best option is to assume that each of the terms uses their nearest Earth equivalents -- such as year for yahren, week for secton, hour for centar, minute for centon, and second for micron, or even use the Terran time terms. In most of the episodes, this is exactly what the writers did.
In time-critical situations, where relationships between the units are a must, the best option is to provide a table reference (such as the one above,) before proceeding with a Galactica adventure.


・(1) Opera is an art form that celebrates the human voice at its highest level of expression. No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does, especially when performed by a great singer. Such singers are trained to present some of the greatest and most challenging music that has ever been composed for the human voice.
・(2) Opera is an important part of the Western classical music tradition. It uses music, words, and actions to bring a dramatic story to life. Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe. Over the years, it has responded to various musical and theatrical developments around the world and continues to do so. In recent decades, much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording technology. Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio, on television, and in the cinema.
・(3) However, in recent years, opera has been facing serious challenges. The causes of some of these are beyond its control. One current challenge to opera is economic. The current world economic slowdown has meant that less money is available for cultural institutions and artists. This shortage of money raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists. Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multi-million-dollar contracts given to sports athletes. But what about opera singers? Somehow, people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they suffer in poverty, but this is unrealistic: If artists, including opera singers, lack the support they need, valuable talent is wasted.
・(4) Not only the shortage of money, but also the way money is managed in the opera world had led to hardships. Principal singers are generally paid performance fees once they complete a show. They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal before a show starts. To prepare for a role, they must pay the costs of lessons and coaching sessions. If they become ill or cancel their performance, they lost their performance fee. The insecurity of this system puts the future of opera at risk.
・(5) Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment. Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound. Therefore, opera singers, performing to audiences influenced by this popular culture, are now expected to be "models who sing." These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful. Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low. Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best.
・(6) There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera. However, every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talents in this special art form. The fact that opera has survived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising generation demonstrates that it remains a respected art form full of value.

Q: Xcode symbol icons... definitive list? Where can one find an exhaustive list of all of the global symbol icons used in Xcode? (i.e., for class, method, property, model, configuration, etc.) I have not seen them in the Xcode user guide, but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
Examples:

*

*blue "M" = method

*red "M" = model

*purple "C" = class

*green "C" = configuration

*blue "E" = entity

*blue "P" = property

NOTE: I'm specifically trying to figure out what the red "O" is in a Core Data entity relationship (Instead of a red "M"), but figured it'd be nice to see them all clearly defined somewhere.

A: The red "O" means it's a to-one relationship.  If you change it to a to-many relationship in the Data Model inspector, it changes to a red "M".

A: In Xcode -> Preferences -> Font & color, there's a list.

I love planting herbs indoors during the winter months. Beginning gardeners can try out their green thumbs with a small indoor herb garden. These homegrown ingredients will freshen their homes and spice up their recipes. Tentative gardeners often fret about what to plant. Selecting those first seeds can be an exciting and nerve racking experience. Beginners fear that their garden will be too high maintenance, or that they will somehow kill their plants in the first month. It can be overwhelming to see the sprawling gardens tended by advanced gardeners. Beginning gardeners should start small. Herbs are an excellent plant to begin with. They can easily be grown indoors with little maintenance. Herbs usually thrive best in temperatures between 55 and 75 degrees, so they make an ideal plant for indoor window gardening. The unique flavor of homegrown herbs will spice up even the most mundane meals, and they will smoothly introduce new gardeners to the world of dirt, water, sunlight, and fresh food.
The key to successful indoor gardening is placement. The biggest challenge will be getting enough exposure to the sun, so placement of the herbs could be the difference between an abundance of tasty seasonings and a brown withered plant. Windows with southern exposure provide the most lighting. If the natural sunlight is limited or the plant is struggling, indoor gardeners can give their herbs a boost by buying a grow light.
An indoor herb garden will need pots that drain easily, potting soil, and sand. Aim for half soil and half sand when preparing the pot. Water the herbs immediately after planting them, being careful not to over water. Most herbs should only be watered again once their soil has gone completely dry. Herb gardeners should invest in some fertilizer to encourage growth in their plants.
Indoor herb kits have been designed for those still feeling shy about the first steps in their garden. These kits can be ordered online or purchased at a local gardening store. The kits will usually provide a variety of seeds, gardening trays or pots, soil, and a booklet or CD ROM of instructions and gardening tips.
Basil is a popular herb for indoor gardens. Healthy basil plants requires more sunlight than other herbs, usually between 12 to 16 hours a day.
Parsley makes both a delicious seasoning and garnish. Parsley plants need a warmer environment than most other herbs.
Italian herbs, such as sage, oregano, or rosemary can give regular recipes a European twist. Indoor herb kits are available with an Italian herb specialty.
Starting out with a simple indoor herb garden can open up the world of green thumbs and fresh foods. I know it makes a world of difference in the taste of our food when I throw in fresh herbs versus dried herbs!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck growing your indoor herb garden! For more gardening tips you can follow the links below.

San Francisco Columbarium & Funeral Home
Find sources: "San Francisco Columbarium & Funeral Home" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The San Francisco Columbarium & Funeral Home is a columbarium (repository for human ashes) owned and operated by Dignity Memorial, located at One Loraine Court, near Stanyan and Anza Streets, just north of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California.[2] Built in 1898 by architect Bernard J.S. Cahill,[2] the copper-domed Columbarium is an example of neoclassical architecture. It is the only non-denominational burial place within San Francisco's city limits that is open to the public and has space available.

3 Notable interments
The Columbarium was once part of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, which encompassed approximately 30 acres (12 ha).[3] It was built to complement an existing crematorium designed by Cahill in 1895.
In 1902 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors prohibited further burials within the city. By late 1910, cremation was also prohibited.[3] The Odd Fellows, forced to abandon their cemetery, established Green Lawn Cemetery in Colma. Transfer of bodies began in 1929 and many families also chose to remove their urns from the Columbarium. The crematorium and various mausoleums were demolished. Many of the headstones were re-used to build a seawall at Aquatic Park. The Columbarium remained,[3] as well as interments below ground that were missed during exhumation, such as the mummified body of two-year-old Edith Howard Cook found in 2016.[4]
After a time, the Columbarium was sold to the Bay Cities Cemetery Association and later to Cypress Abbey. As it passed from one organization to another it fell into disrepair. In 1980, the Neptune Society of Northern California bought it and began restoration.[2] Among others, Emmitt Watson was hired by the Neptune Society as a painter but became the primary restorer of the building and functions as de facto tour guide to this day.[5][6]
On March 3, 1996, the building was added to the register of San Francisco Designated Landmarks.[1][7]
DesignEdit
The Columbarium combines baroque and neoclassical features. Cahill was probably inspired by the Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. The diameter, from the entrance to the stained glass window opposite, is 64 feet (20 m). The width of the rotunda within the Inner circle is 29 feet (8.8 m) and the rotunda reaches a height of about 45 feet (14 m).
The eight rooms on the ground floor bear the names of the mythological winds. Six of the ground floor rooms feature beautiful stained glass windows. The window in the Aquilo room depicting three angels in flight, is attributed equally to Louis Comfort Tiffany or John LaFarge. The first floor rooms are named after constellations. The second and third floors are simpler in design. On the grounds there is a fountain sculpture of Coit Tower.[8] Many of the internets have creative dedications and feature personal items.[8]
The first floor contains approximately 2,400 niches, the second floor 2,500, and the third and fourth floors approximately 1,800 each, with an overall total of more than 8,500.
Notable intermentsEdit

Instrument Details: Fritz Heller: straight cornetto at A-440 after Berlin instrument A=632 and mute cornetto after S. Hier (Leipzig). Both instruments were make by Heller; curved cornetto by Siem van der Veen after Hambug Museum fur Kunstgesichte; all mouthpieces built by Heller.
Other cornetto players: instruments built by Roland Wilson and Paolo Franciulatti. Sackbutts: Cas Gevers: Geert Jan van der Heide after Hainlein, 1630, mouthpiece by van der Heide; Peter Stetzl: Meinl after Drewelwecz, 1595, mouthpiece by Peter Sommer; Tim Dowling: Meinl after Drewelwecz, 1595, mouthpiece by van der Heide; Detlev Reimers: Egger after Hainlein, 1630, mouthpiece by Thein, Bremen; Peter Sommer: bass sackbut "basso variable" by Sommer & Kempkes, mouthpiece by Peter Sommer.
The three recordings under consideration here are the fruit of Fritz Heller and his ensemble, Rabaskadol. Rabaskadol was founded in 1985 to perform wind music on period instruments and their repertoire spans medieval, renaissance, and early baroque eras. In addition to being its founder and leader, Fritz Heller plays various cornetti (straight, curved, and mute). He is also an accomplished instrument maker. Unfortunately, no information pertaining to the specific make of instruments used is provided in the otherwise extensive and informative liner notes, however the reviewer recieved detailed information from Heller which has been included above under "instrument details."
The music of "In Principio" comes from a collection of some 140 works gathered by a trumpeter of the court band of Graz, Niclas Rekh in 1585. The collection contains motets, madrigals and instrumental pieces which prescribe specific instrumentation: cornets (straight for German works, curved for Italian), shawms, and trombones. Some of the works on this recording have not been performed for 400 years. Composers represented are Orlando di Lasso, Andrea Gabrieli, and Giaches de Wert.
The second CD considered here features the music of Martin Peudargent (ca. 1510-before 1594), who composed for the Court of Duke Wilhelm V of Jullich-Keve-Berg. The majority of music on this recording is from the second of his three books (1555).
In Passione Domini is a collection of Passion motets by Johannes Flamingus (d 1598?), Orlando di Lasso, Alexander Utendal (ca. 1535-1581), Michel DuBuisson (fl. 1560-73) and Jan Vakestijn (b. 1928). While the 16th century music will likely be of more interest to our HBS members, Vakestijn's music is interesting in that the composer has scored it for cornetto, strings and curtal. Rabaskadol performs it wonderfully, giving great care to phrasing and blend. The result is an attractive blend of 16th century timbres and 20th century harmonies.
The quality of these three recordings is impressive. I was moved by their richness and grandeur as well as their especially fine blend and sensitive phrasing. Some tracks are purely instrumental performances of vocal music. Care is taken in articulation to "sing" the underlay. I also admire Heller's sensitive playing with soprano Sakia van der Wel (whose warm expressive voice is itself inspiring) on Peudargent's "En Foecunda Aquila." Indeed, so well matched are they that it is easy to mistake cornetto with voice in the interweaving and imitative lines. This quality can be heard throughout. In total, this group of Fritz Heller's recordings deserves our members' highest attention.


I'm doing something insane, guys. Seriously. Even crazier than I usually do around here. I've joined a challenge posed by a new Green Blog I found to keep my trash in my garage for an entire week to see how much garbage I create. And if you think that sounds crazy, consider that the guy issuing the challenge is one day away from finishing one whole year of doing the SAME THING. As in, as we speak, he has a year's worth of garbage in his basement. It's a fascinating story you should totally check out if you get a chance. But in the meantime? Let's ponder what the HELL I've signed up for here!
If you'll recall, my family decided to make the effort some time last year to start taking anything to the recycling center that we could. Especially the things that they don't want in the bin: like glass and cereal boxes. (Huntsville residents, find the list of what goes in the bin here.) This made a HUGE impact in how much garbage we created every week as before that? We were about to have to ask the city to give us another garbage bin. And that's kinda disgraceful. Since then, some weeks have gone by where we forget to but the garbage bin on the street, but we have enough room for TWO weeks of garbage in it now. So it's not a big deal.
I'd like to try to make that amount even smaller this year. Just find ways to reuse, avoid over-packaged items, recycle more, anything to reduce what we send out in our garbage bin every week. I thought, in order to see how much of a change we make, monitoring it for a week would be a great idea! I decided we'd do this project for a week now, and a week in six months and compare the lists to see how much we reduce.
What Exactly Will You Be Putting In Your Garage This Week?
Essentially I'll be removing all trash cans in the house for the week, forcing everyone to give their garbage to me so that I can sort it in the garage. We're going to keep our recycling pile, but not take it in for a week so that we can see that pile after a week. All of the garbage without food or grime on it will go in another pile, compartmentalized if there's a lot of repeats. Anything that we can wash clean will go in that pile, but anything that we can't get clean enough for me to feel comfortable leaving in the garage…that will go in the outdoor garbage bin. But not until AFTER I've documented it and photographed it.
At the end of each day I'm going to photograph our garbage before dividing it up into the areas we'll keep it in for the week. I'll also document it in list form so that at the end of the week I'll have that list along with the photographic evidence of how truly wasteful we are. So my children can hold it against me in 10 years.
Will You Try To Create Less Garbage Than You Would Normally To Make Yourself Look Better?
No. The point of this is to see how much we waste normally. In 6 months, when I do this again, hopefully we'll have adopted new habits that will reduce our garbage production, but I'm not going to do those things this week. That said – I'm sure I'll avoid certain things because I don't feel like carrying the trash around with me, but I'll do my best to keep things wasteful as usual!
I will count how many of those go in the outside bin, but that are indeed GOING IN THE BIN. I'm not going to take this so far to photograph dirty diapers or keep them for a week. There are several reasons why we don't use cloth diapers and while I'm sure we could change this year, and we might decide that – it's not something I can up and decide to start tomorrow. And also? We're trying to show how much garbage we create and we use disposable diapers, so changing that now wouldn't give us a clear picture.
Is your whole family participating in this insanity?
We are participating as a household, and then I'm participating fully. In other words, any garbage the household produces will be documented. Any garbage I produce outside of the house I'll bring home to document. But – my family won't have to do that part. I'm not going to inflict my own insanity on them.
Now – Starting when I wake up tomorrow morning (good timing, huh?) until when I wake up next Thursday – I'll be doing this. This week will be my baseline so that in six months I can try to calculate how we've improved throughout the year. Hopefully seeing this garbage in a pile in my garage will really help me see how wasteful we are and will inspire me to make changes in our lives this year.
Either that, or it will gross me out so much I run away screaming and continue my life living in the woods and surviving off of fish and berries.
Next are the series of questions Dave posed to those of us participating. He has an "After" set of questions for us to answer as well. I'll include those when I'm done.
What do you think makes up the largest part of your trash?
What do you think makes up the largest part of your recycling?
In terms of space? It's boxes and cans from dinner prep every night because I rarely (never) cook from scratch. Lucky those are recyclable so that eases my guilt a bit. But I have a feeling I may find that my diet coke consumption will actually be the most. I'm curious to see.
Are you saving everything or keeping a list of what you would have saved?
Saving for a week, keeping a list, and photographing.
If you are saving everything, where are you keeping it?
In the garage. Except for diapers and any item I worry may attract mice (that I couldn't clean enough or something like that). I'll list those out, and then I'll put them in our outdoor garbage bin.
Do you compost and if not, what will you do with your food waste?
We don't compost now, but that is one of the things we are going to start this year. Our food waste (which there's usually not much) will just go into the garbage disposal. If it can't, we'll put it in a bag and put it in the outside garbage bin.

Jojo Rajkumari – Unstoppable female MMA Fighter
Manipur is such a place in India, where there is no gender inequality in any respect, and Jojo Rajkumari is a fine example of women empowerment. Jojo Rajkumar hails from Moirang Phiyongbam Leikai Part-II, Manipur a place famous for inseparable historical folklore Khamba and Thoibi. Jojo is just 24 year old, energetic, and young female MMA fighter who started her career in the year 2007 as a kickboxer.
What is MMA or Mixed Martial Arts?
MMA or cage fighting is a hybrid sport incorporating various techniques from games like Boxing, Judo, Thai Boxing, Wrestling, and various other combat sports. In combat sports, players use the techniques they learned from various disciplines. This game is a full-body contact game where the players do punching, kicking, throwing, and grappling in order to defeat the opponent. Generally, MMA is played inside an iron cage or inside a boxing ring. There are various ways to win in MMA like Knockout, Decision, Submission, Technical Knockout (TKO), Forfeit, and No Contest.

Weight 115 LBS / 52.16 KG
Rank Jojo Rajkumari is the 18th ranked of 102 active Middle East women (pound for pound)
How Jojo Rajkumari started MMA?
Unlike players from other states of India, the majority of the players of our state Manipur hail from a poor background, and during their initial stage, they find no support even from their home and have to face many challenges. No matter how they trained and eat they never fail to bring the laurel of the state at the national and international levels. If we can groom and provide them with at least the basic needs they can deliver us the best result and can pull up the name of the state to another level.
Jojo Rajkumari is also among the players of Manipur who grew up in a poor family, where everything from household daily chores to looking after the family rest on her shoulders.
Jojo started her career with kickboxing. She had no idea what kickboxing was during the initial stage of her career. It is the nature of humans to be influenced by each other acts and Jojo is also not different. She was inspired to start kickboxing by one of her close friends. Whenever she went to wash clothes by the pond, she'd find her friend practicing kickboxing.
Without any hesitation, she visited the place and asked permission to join the class. Seeing her dedication and love of the sports she was permitted to join and she even impresses the coach on her first kick.
To help achieve her MMA dream, she runs even a small business to get some support. She will sell candles, cotton clothes during summer, and woolen clothes in winter. Besides, she also used to help her mother in selling "Singju and Bora," a famous Manipuri snack, at a roadside stall.

Advancement of her Career as a Female MMA Fighter of Manipur
Nothing is impossible if you pursue any dream with your heart full of hard work and dedication. Jojo Rajkumari again proves that women can also fight like men in the arena of combat sports. In a state like Manipur, it is even hard for a woman to start a fighting game like MMA or Kickboxing. First of all, they won't get any support from their family and next is the speculation of society. In her initial stage, even her mother opposed her. However, she never stops and carries on with her training without knowing her mother. There is a proverb in Manipuri "How long will you cover the streak of fire with clothes?". Seeing her relentless dedication to the sport, her mother finally let her go for the sport.
Fighting against all the odds Jojo Rajkumari started her career as a kickboxing player under the strict guidance of her local coach, she was able to bag a gold medal and the best wrestler award in her maiden tournament.
Jojo Rajkumari Got the Golden chance for MMA Fight
It was in the year 2017, incidentally or by coincidence one of the pioneer of the MMA fighter Manipur, Mr. Frank, happened to come across a video post of Jojo Rajkumari kicking and punching a bag. As an MMA coach, it won't be a difficult task to identify the required quality of an MMA fighter. Jojo received an invitation from the coach, who is the founder of the Manipur MMA fighter club, Chainaba, to be a part of the MMA team. Without thinking twice Jojo Rajkumari accepted the invitation and started learning MMA under the strict guidance of the coach, Mr. Frank.
