Simple Ways to Green Your Beauty Routine.
Cut down on chemicals and give yourself an easy green makeover with these simple tips! Ignore the Marketing Claims and Look at Labels- You would be amazed (and outraged) at the number of products marketed "for sensitive skin" that contain allergens and skin toxicants! Ignore the claims on the front of the package. Flip the product over and look at the label. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify- When it comes to synthetic chemical exposures, less is better than more. Choose products with shorter ingredient lists and fewer or no synthetic chemicals. Scan for common chemicals such as sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, parabens, diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), diazolidinyl and imidazolidinyl urea, PEGs, quaternium 15 and fragrance — if a product contains any of these synthetics, it is a likely bet that you will be inhaling, ingesting or absorbing unnecessary toxins into your body. Use Less Stuff- Before slathering a product on your body or spraying it around your home, it's worth asking: Do I really need this? Air freshener? (Open a window.) Bubble bath? (Not a good idea to sit in a tub full of chemicals for long periods of time.) Also, companies like to make us think we need a separate lotion for each part of our bodies and a different cleaning product for every room in the house, but a healthier (and less expensive) option is to buy one nontoxic product you can feel good about using.

Baby Eating Young children don't experience stress-driven or emotional eating, or the influences of friends and media. Here are some tips on how baby eats. - They eat only when they're hungry. We don't always follow that ourselves—we're busy, we're stressed, we're bored—and that can lead to overeating. Babies eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. - They don't skip meals. Not unless they're sick, sleeping, or already full, anyway. - They eat snacks. Nutritious snacks too, like fresh fruit, baby-friendly veggies, and whole grains. - They're picky about what they eat. And how! Babies know what they like and won't waste time eating something that's just meh. Lesson: When you like what you're eating, you'll likely enjoy it and feel more satisfied overall. - They eat slowly. They're still figuring out how to get that noodle into their mouths and chew it. Glassman says that chewing foods slowly helps increase the enzymes in your mouth, helping aid in better digestion.

Drug offences and you IX – Commonwealth drug offences – cultivating illegal plants for commercial purposes and selling illegal plants
These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for your situation.
This is the ninth article about drug offences under state-based legislation that is applied to Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands and under Commonwealth legislation.
This is the fifth article about Commonwealth drug offences – that is, offences under Commonwealth legislation. It is about cultivating illegal plants (these are called “controlled plants”) for commercial purposes and selling controlled plants.
Commonwealth drug offences are dealt with by the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (we will call it the Criminal Code (Cth)) and the Criminal Code Regulations 2002 (Cth) (we will call them the Regulations).
What is a “controlled plant?” The Criminal Code (Cth) defines a “controlled plant” as one listed as such by a regulation, or one that is urgently determined by the Minister to be a controlled plant. The Regulations list only all the species of the genus cannabis as controlled plants. There are 3 species of cannabis generally recognised.
What is cultivating for “commercial purposes”? You cultivate a plant for commercial purposes if you intend to sell any of the plant or its products or you believe that another person intends to do so.
When you can be presumed to be cultivating for commercial purposes If you cultivate a trafficable number of controlled plants, you can be presumed to be cultivating for commercial purposes ie with the intention to sell or believing someone else will. The trafficable quantity is set out in the schedule in the Regulations that lists controlled plants. A trafficable number is 10 plants or more.
You can rebut (cancel) the presumption if you can prove that you did not have that intention or belief. The standard of proof is just on the balance of probabilities, which means just greater than 50 percent, or more likely than not.
What is “cultivating”? You cultivate if you:
plant a seed, cutting or seedling or transplant a plant
nurture, tend or grow, or guard or hide a plant
harvest or pick any part of a plant or separate any resin or other substance from it.
What is “cultivating a plant”? You cultivate a plant if you:
engage in its cultivation, or
control or direct its cultivation, or
provide finance for its cultivation.
“Marketable” and “commercial” numbers of controlled plants In general terms, you can be charged with, for commercial purposes, cultivating a controlled plant (the least serious charge), or cultivating a “marketable” number of controlled plants (a more serious charge), or cultivating a “commercial” number of controlled plants (the most serious charge).
The schedule in the Regulations that lists the controlled plant (the 3 cannabis species) also sets out the numbers that constitute marketa-ble and commercial quantities. One hundred or more cannabis plants is a marketable number of plants. One thousand or more cannabis plants is a commercial number of plants.
Cultivating controlled plants for commercial purposes – the offences If you cultivate, for commercial purposes, a controlled plant or plants, you commit an offence. The maximum penalty is imprisonment for 10 years and/or 2,000 PUs (A penalty unit (PU) is currently $210). This offence can be dealt with by a Magistrates Court if both the ac-cused person and the prosecution agree.
If you cultivate, for commercial purposes, a marketable number of controlled plants, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for 25 years and/or 5,000 PUs. This offence is indictable only. This means that it can only be dealt with by the District Court and not by the Magis-trates Court.
If you cultivate, for commercial purposes, a commercial number of controlled plants, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for life and/or 7,500 PUs. This offence is indictable only and can only be dealt with by the Supreme Court, and not by the District Court, because the maximum penalty is life imprisonment .
Selling controlled plants It is an offence to sell a controlled plant. “Selling” includes agreeing to sell and also bartering or exchanging. The maximum penalty for selling a controlled plant or plants, is imprisonment for 10 years and/or 2,000 PUs. This offence can be dealt with by a Magistrates Court if both the accused person and the prosecution agree.
The maximum penalty for selling a marketable number of controlled plants, is imprisonment for 25 years and/or 5,000 PUs. This offence is indictable only and can only be dealt with by the District Court.
The maximum penalty for selling a commercial number of controlled plants, is imprisonment for life and/or 7,500 PUs. This offence is indictable only and can only be dealt with by the Supreme Court , because the maximum penalty is life imprisonment.
In the next article we will talk about the commercial manufacture of illegal drugs.

Quote of the Day
Some people care too much. I think it’s called
love.
Thought for the Day
Two little kids in a hospital. Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?" The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous." The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze." The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?" The first kid says, "A circumcision." "Whoa!" the second kid replies. "Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was born. Couldn't walk for a year." Child first day at school A child comes home from his first day at school. His mother asks, "Well, what did you learn today?" The kid replies, "Not enough. They want me to come back tomorrow."

Pelanggaran drug dan kamu VIII – Pelanggaran drug menurut Commonwealth – menanam tumbuhan terlarang untuk tujuan jualan commercial dan menjual tumbuhan terlarang
Ini adalah majalah pendek tentang perkara-perkaraperundangan yang mungkin menarik perhatian kamu. Ia bukan nasihat legal. Kamu harus selalu mengambil nasihat legal tersendiri untuk keadaan kamu.
Ini majalah yang ke sembilan tentang pelanggaran drug menurut perundangan berdasarkan state yang digunakan di Pulu Christmas dan Cocos (Keeling) dan dibawa perundangan Commonwealth.
Ini majalah yang lima tentang pelanggaran drug menurut Commonwealth – Iaitu, pelanggaran dibawa undang-undang Commonwealth. Ia tentang pelanggaran penanaman tumbuhan terlarang (ini dipanggil “tumbuhan yang dijaga”) untuk tujuan commercial dan menjual tumbuhan yang dijaga.
Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) (kita akan memanggil Criminal Code (Cth) dan Criminal Code Regulations 2002 (Cth) (kita akan memanggil Regulations) berurusan dengan pelanggaran drug menurut Commonwealth.
What is a “tumbuhan yang dijaga?” Criminal Code (Cth) menerangkan “tumbuhan terjaga” sebagai salahsatu yang didaftarkan oleh sebuah undang-undang, atau satu yang dengan segera dinyatakan oleh Minister sebagai tumbuhan yang dijaga. Daftaran dalam Perundangan menerangkan semua jenis-jenis ‘genus cannabis’ sebagai tumbuhan yang dijaga. Ada 3 jenis cannabis yang biasa dikenali.
Apa itu menanam untuk “tujuan commercial”? Kamu menanam tumbuhan untuk tujuan commercial jika kamu berniat untuk menjual tumbuhan itu ataupun produk daripadanya atau kamu percaya yang orang lain bertujuan untuk berbuat demikian.
Bila kamu boleh dianggap untuk menanam untuk tujuan commercial Kalau kamu menanam tumbuhan yang dijaga yang berjumlah perdagangan, kamu boleh dianggap untuk menanam untuk tujuan jualan commercial, iaitu dengan tujuan untuk menjual atau percaya orang yang akan menjualnya. Jumlah perdagangan diterangkan dalam daftaran dalam Perundangan yang menerangkan tumbuhan yang dijaga. Jumlah perdagangan ialah 10 tumbuhan keratas.
Kamu boleh membatalkan anggapan ini kalau boleh buktikan yang kamu tidak bertujuan atau percaya yang orang lain akan jualkan. Standard bukti ialah hanya di balance kemungkinan, yang bermaksud hanya lebih dari 50 peratus, atau lebih kemungkinan tidak. Apa itu “menanam”? Kamu menanam jika kamu:

Daftar dalam Perundangan yang menerangkan tumbuhan yang dijaga (3 jenis cannabis) juga menerangkan jumlah yang digelarkan untuk jualan dan jualan commercial. Satu ratus atau lebih tumbuhan cannabis ialah jumlah jualan. Satu ribu atau lebih tumbuhan cannabis ialah jumlah jualan commercial.
