Guess Who Profits When You Can Throw Pregnant Women in Jail for Using Drugs?
Pregnancy holds a special space in most societies; it is a biological necessity for species preservation and represents the promise of future generations. Pregnancy is thought by many to bestow upon women an extra layer of societal protection and care. Social conventions dictate that pregnant women be given priority seating on buses, trains and other forms of transport and in lines for rest rooms and priority rescue during natural disasters. We believe ourselves to be solicitous and helpful to pregnant women and accord them an extra measure of respect.
But in many ways in the United States the treatment of pregnant women has been and continues to be class specific. Poor and working-class women often find pregnancy a difficult time, especially if they have jobs that don't offer health care benefits, sick time or maternity leave. Those challenges can make pregnancy difficult enough without the extra worry of health care providers and/or aggressive prosecutors looking over your shoulders and sometimes even examining your urine to make sure you aren't engaging in activities they consider 'harmful' to your fetus. In the aftermath of the crack cocaine media hysteria of the 1980s, laws that were enacted to give more protection to women who were physically assaulted while pregnant – began to be used against pregnant women. Punitive prosecutors and anti-choice advocates promoted the idea that the most dangerous place for certain children is their mother's womb.
This month saw an escalation in this perversion of "protection" when Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed legislation that will allow women in the state to be charged with assault for harm to their fetus or newborn that can be attributed to the mother's use of illegal drugs beginning July 1st. Haslam signed the legislation after "extensive conversations with experts including substance abuse, mental health, health and law enforcement officials," he wrote in a statement. "The intent of this bill is to give law enforcement and district attorneys a tool to address illicit drug use among pregnant women through treatment programs."
"This law brings treatment to the worst of the worst," say state representative Terri Weaver, who sponsored the bill in the House. "It's heartbreaking if you're a police officer, and you see a woman is seven or eight months pregnant and shooting heroin. There is an individual inside that belly that has no choice but to take whatever goes into it."
"Tennessee has become one of the top states for babies born addicted," says Weaver, who introduced the bill in the House. The legislation is just the latest in Tennessee's series of efforts to deal with a rise in infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), which is a group of problems akin to the effects of withdrawal.
However, as reported by The Daily Beast, the new legislation does not get at the source of problem – prescription drug abuse:
Another major problem with Tennessee's proposed law is that it ignores the fact that legally prescribed narcotics can also result in NAS. Though the Tennessee Department of Health declined to comment for this article, its commissioner, Dr. John Dreyzehner, has previously said that although NAS is a problem in his state, abuse of illegal narcotics really isn't the root of it. "In Tennessee we know that 60 percent of the babies born to mothers, the babies that develop Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, their mothers had a prescription for the medication they were taking," he said.
But doctors and lawyers interviewed for this article said it is not always easy to definitively conclude what substance produced NAS in a child. Thus, there is potential for women to be wrongly charged under this new law, even if they were taking legally obtained drugs.
There are 177 addiction treatment centers in Tennessee, but only two offer prenatal care on site. Only 19 offer any services for pregnant women. Methadone, the evidence based treatment known to work best for pregnant women who are using opiates is not among the treatment options available.
Governor Haslam may have had "conversations with experts" but clearly he wasn't listening. The legislation has been roundly criticized by health care professionals, substance abuse treatment providers, child welfare advocates and even administration officials who responded thusly when asked about the proposal:
"Under the Obama administration, we've really tried to reframe drug policy not as a crime but as a public health-related issue, and that our response on the national level is that we not criminalize addiction," said Michael Botticelli, acting director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. "We want to make sure our response and our national strategy is based on the fact that addiction is a disease."
Proponents of the measure point to the mandated review of its efficacy and impact after two years and that it classifies the new crime of 'fetal assault as a misdemeanor instead of a felony as ameliorating factors. Somehow I think that's a distinction without a difference for women who would forego prenatal care and not risk arrest for any reason, not to mention the notorious tendency of prosecutors to overcharge in order to facilitate plea agreements. Once the door is open to criminalizing women's behavior during pregnancy, it's hard to limit the impact. One can't help but wonder whether there is any connection between Tennessee becoming the first state to enact legislation that would make women subject to criminal punishment because they became pregnant and failed to meet societal expectations and its distinction as the corporate headquarters of the nation's largest private prison company – Correctional Corporation of America (CCA) – which already operates 3 of the state's 14 prisons.
Since its founding in 1983, CCA has profited from federal and state policies that have led to a dramatic rise in incarceration in the United States — a rise of 500 percent over the past thirty years (the U.S. population has only increased by 40%). Although it claims that it has not lobbied for bills that extend or increase sentences for prisoners, for nearly two decades CCA participated in and even led the task force of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) that pushed bills like so-called "truth-in-sentencing" and "three strikes" legislation as models for states to adopt across the nation. CCA and its hired lobbying firms have spent about $30.9 million lobbying Congress and federal agencies from 1998 to August 2013 on bills relating to immigration, detention, and private prisons.
CCA wields tremendous political influence in Tennessee under the current administration. In 2011 Gov. Bill Haslam found nearly $31 million in recurring money to keep open a CCA prison in West Tennessee while making deep cuts to other areas such as TennCare and higher education. His decision stood in sharp contrast to his predecessor, Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen who had sought to close the facility. According to the websiteInfluence Explorer, which tracks political contributions, Governor Bill Haslam was among the top four recipients of campaign contributions from CCA – remarkably, two of the other four top recipients are also Tennessee elected officials – Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. Earlier this month Trousdale County entered into contracts for a new 2,500 bed state prison in Hartsville, Tennessee that will be run by CCA.
"We're very pleased, obviously, with the outcome of Trousdale County's vote the other night, and we're encouraged by the process," said Steve Owen, Public Affairs Director for CCA. "And we're looking forward to helping the state of TN to meet its expressed correctional needs, and helping Trousdale County in that effort—while at the same time, bringing very positive economic impact to Trousdale and the surrounding counties."
The expressed correctional needs of Tennessee now include the potential incarceration of pregnant and childbearing women for 'harming' their fetus by using illegal drugs while pregnant. Of course we now know there's no such thing as a "crack baby" and exposure to cocaine in utero while not advisable, is not nearly as harmful to fetal development as smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, neither of which will get a pregnant woman arrested and hauled before a judge. But hey – why let science get in the way of a making profit from the warehousing of human beings?
More than 40 years after Roe v. Wade established a woman's constitutional right to a zone of privacy around her reproductive decisions, pregnant women are targets of various forms of state intrusion and restriction of their rights and privacy. There has been a steady and relentless campaign to erode those rights not limited to women's access to abortion, it is a campaign against reproductive justice:
The reproductive justice framework – the right to have children, not have children, and to parent the children we have in safe and healthy environments — is based on the human right to make personal decisions about one's life, and the obligation of government and society to ensure that the conditions are suitable for implementing one's decisions is important for women of color.
It represents a shift for women advocating for control of their bodies, from a narrower focus on legal access and individual choice (the focus of mainstream organizations) to a broader analysis of racial, economic, cultural, and structural constraints on our power.
Reproductive Justice addresses the social reality of inequality, specifically, the inequality of opportunities that we have to control our reproductive destiny. Our options for making choices have to be safe, affordable and accessible, three minimal cornerstones of government support for all individual life decisions.
Most people who care about reproductive justice are aware of the many actions by state lawmakers throughout the country to restrict women's access to abortion by various means including: creating new restrictions on abortion providers; mandating waiting periods, pre-abortion counseling and medically unnecessary sonograms and requiring women to have special insurance to cover the costs of abortions. Not satisfied with making it more difficult for women to get access to both contraception services and legal terminations, anti-choice advocates now seek to make women criminally liable for the outcomes of their pregnancies.
These are not isolated incidents, they've become increasingly common as pregnant women are used as pawns in the fight to erode reproductive justice. As documented in a recent report by National Advocates for Pregnant Women, in the decades since Roe v. Wade there have been hundreds of criminal and civil cases involving the arrests, detentions and equivalent deprivations of pregnant women's physical liberty between 1973 and 2005. The consequences to pregnant women included: arrests; incarceration; increases in prison or jail sentences; detentions in hospitals, mental institutions and drug treatment programs; and forced medical interventions, including surgery. State authorities have used a variety of measures including feticide laws and anti-abortion laws recognizing separate rights for fertilized, eggs, embryos and fetuses as the basis for depriving pregnant women – whether they were seeking to end a pregnancy or go to term – of their physical liberty.
As noted in a recent column by Rachel Cohen:
The crusade against women's reproductive rights has been led by politicians and organizations that claim to cherish the "right to life" and champion women's role as mothers. But the reality made painfully clear by the NAPW's report is that the anti-choice right wants women to be treated as second-class citizens, denied the right to health care, personal liberty and the right to control their own bodies and lives.
In all, just over half of the women whose stories are collected in the report are Black. Nearly three-quarters of those facing legal charges were represented by indigent defense. African-American women have suffered a long legacy of barbaric discrimination–from the separation of families under slavery to the early 20th century eugenics movement that pushed through laws in 32 states allowing the sterilization of women judged "unfit to breed." Today, poor Black single mothers are scapegoats for all manner of social problems. In particular, the war on drugs has served as a vehicle for the attack, with drug convictions serving as the excuse for terminating parental rights of incarcerated mothers.
And yet, ironically, the chief proponent of the new Tennessee law criminalizing pregnant women is an African-American state legislator, Representative John DeBerry, a local business person and ordained minister who also sponsored a new law that punishes educators who promote or condone "gateway sexual activity" as well as the 'don't say gay' bill and a bill to ban unmarried couples from adopting children. Representative DeBerry a committed Christian, believes it is his duty to bring Biblical beliefs into the public sphere. During an interview with a local Christian radio show, he said America had lost its way by abandoning traditional Christian values, including the sanctity of life. In his view pregnant women don't have the "right to make choices" about the life they are carrying within:
Similar but more strident sentiments are expressed in the concurring opinion by the Chief Justice Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court affirming the criminal appeals court ruling that the use of the word "child" in the chemical-endangerment statute includes all children, born and unborn, and furthers the state's policy of protecting life from the earliest stages of development. As jubilantly reported by the website Liberty Counsel:
"In an age where some judges do not know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, or do not even care, finally the Alabama Supreme Court springs forth with a ray of light," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. "The opinions by Chief Justice Roy Moore and Tom Parker are well-reasoned, grounded in history and natural law, and completely demolish the fallacies of the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions. One day soon the United States Supreme Court's abortion opinions will come toppling down like a house of cards. Then we will look back at history like we now do with Nazi Germany and wonder why our generation was so blind to the personhood of the preborn child," said Staver. The concurring opinions by Chief Justice Roy Moore and Justice Tom Parker are particularly significant because they reveal the flaws in the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions, beginning with the 1973 case of Roe. v. Wade. Excerpts of their concurring opinions are set forth below:
"Denominated in the United States Code as one of the 'Organic Laws of the United States of America,' the Declaration acknowledges as 'self-evident' the truth that all human beings are endowed with inherent dignity and the right to life as a direct result of having been created by God."
"God, not governments and legislatures, gives persons these inherent natural rights . . . Government, in fact, has no power to abridge or destroy natural rights God directly besets to mankind and indeed no power to contravene what God declares right or wrong."
"As the gift of God, this right to life is not subject to violation by another's unilateral choice."
"From local to international, all law flows from the divine source: it is the law of God. The law of nature and of nature's God binds all nations, states, and all government officials—from Great Britain to Germany to Alabama—regardless of positive laws or orders to the contrary."
"States have an affirmative duty to protect unborn human life under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."
"Any state's discriminatory failure to provide legal protection equally to born and unborn persons under, for instance, its statutes prohibiting homicide, assault, or chemical endangerment violates, therefore, the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution."
"Because a human life with a full genetic endowment comes into existence at the moment of conception, the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights encompasses the moment of conception. Legal recognition of the unborn as members of the human family derives ultimately from the laws of nature and nature's God, who created human life in His image and protected it with the commandment: 'Thou shall not kill.'"
Like the puppeteer, the life being manipulated here is incapable of acting on its own. It has no free agency and is totally dependent on the woman who nurtures and nourishes it. To set them in opposition to each other and ascribe independent agency and rights to a fetus makes as much sense as asserting a puppet can speak without a ventriloquist and awarding it the right to sue for wage theft.
Rep. John J. DeBerry, Jr. says it's about giving tough love to these women:
"At the end of the day we're still talking about criminal behavior and I think that as a society we're bending over backwards to give these people a way out without going to jail,"
In DeBerry's view being pregnant while imperfect is a crime. I guess DeBerry missed the part where Jesus advised, " let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Who benefits from promoting the fiction of 'fetal personhood'? It does nothing to empower children, who lack the agency to be 'persons' politically, but it is an effective tool to disempower women and the people, who love, support and depend on them, including the children they already have. The reality is 'fetal personhood' seeks to accomplish similar results as the "3/5 compromise" on the personhood of slaves – facilitate the economic and sexual exploitation of vulnerable women for the political and financial benefit of others.
I end with Jay Smooth of Ill Doctrine discussing yet another tactic by the anti-reproductive rights movement to persuade the public to end women's access to safe, legal abortions and the full range of reproductive health care. Surprisingly, it's a tactic we should all get behind as it represents a rare win-win for all.

Even though it was sunny and beautiful outside, we decided to take some time indoors and check out the children's science museum, CosmoCaixa. Only a short metro ride away, this turned out to be an excellent choice. We all had a fun time exploring the exhibits, plus the underwater ecosystem and rainforest is super cool!
Remember when we ate at BuenasMigas a few days ago? Well, we found another one and decided to eat here again! This is a great option for a cheap, delicious meal in Barcelona.
After catching the metro back to Las Ramblas (where our flat was located), we relaxed a bit and let our 2 year old greet people on the street from our balcony. He thought this was so hilarious! It's the little things in life, isn't it?
For our afternoon adventure, we changed into our swimsuits and caught the metro to the coast. We were headed to Ocata but spontaneously got off when we saw a nice beach. It turned out to be a great experience filled with locals; we were the only tourists. The water was a bit cold but the boys mostly like to play in the sand anyway. We soaked up some afternoon sun, listened to the waves and seagulls, watched our boys wrestle in the sand, and enjoyed some calm time on the shore. Also our baby ate a lot of sand 🙂
At this point I started getting hungry, so we walked about 3 minutes down the shore to a restaurant under a tent. I don't think it had a name, just one of those beachfront pop-ups. We shared a grilled cheese sandwich, and tapas (of course!): chili nachos (from the "international" section), and patatas bravas (our favorite!) while our 2 year old used his imagination in a playhouse nearby. It was fun to eat at a place where the staff didn't speak English. I love being able to use my Spanish and it's just more fun!
What a great relaxing afternoon and evening <3

Everyone experiences ups and downs in relationships. It is normal for there to be rough patches and little problems in every relationship. Most people manage to get through them by talking it through with their partner (or family member, friend, etc.) and coming to a solution. Sometimes the problems sort of solve themselves. However, when a problem becomes chronic, that is a sign that you may need to get relationship help from a 3rd party such as a relationship therapist.
The first step to getting relationship help
When two people are involved, be it romantically, on a friendly basis, or are linked by family ties, the relationship should not be a source of constant pain and frustration. The relationships people choose to be in should benefit them and contribute to their quality of life, not take away from that quality of life. When it comes to seeking help to improve that relationship, most people are hesitant to contact a specialist or third party. However, getting third party professional help may be exactly what is needed to save the relationship and ensure the happiness of both people involved.
Use outsourcing as a strategy
When there is a problem in a relationship, it can't always be solved by the people involved in the relationship. Sometimes, it's better to have someone with an outside perspective who is neutral to the situation to interpret what is occurring without being biased to either side. In arguments and disagreements, both parties of course think they are right. With both sides not bowing down to other, it becomes impossible to solve. That is why it's better to get relationship help. A third party professional can evaluate the situation and help both come to an agreement. Both can also get relationship advice from a third party on how to improve the relationship and avoid further arguments.
Break your paradigm
On the other hand, sometimes only one party is suffering in the relationship. Many times, people stay in unhealthy relationships with people who don't contribute to their own happiness, but only to their misery. Those same people will rationalize staying in the relationship based on their own delusions. When someone is being hurt by another, they may not know the way to escape the situation. They will also be reluctant to get relationship help because of their personal distrust of outsiders. But getting professional relationship help is the first step to seeking answers for a long term strategy. It takes others to help some people realize the things they need to do to improve their own lives.
While many people are led to believe that therapists and psychologists cannot be helpful, the reality is the exact opposite. In times of need, trained professionals can give the best relationship advice and help people take the first step to improving their lives. No matter the problem, when one gets professional help, they are that much closer to developing a strategy to improve a negative relationship or healthy ways of getting out of a relationship. Therapists are there to guide and advise their patients to an improved situation. Despite what some presumptions may be, therapists can help people achieve contentment in their lives. All it takes is making the effort to contact a professional or using online help sites to get relationship help and improving your quality of life.
Clif Kay is the founder and principal of LoveAnswer.net which is a new online relationship help site where customers who are looking for professional relationship advice and guidance submit confidential questions and receive private answers directly to their email accounts. We make our service affordable, private, and fast so everyone has access to professional help.

Travel Planner: The Little Trianon Palace in Floresti – a symbol of Romanian disregard for history
The last week passed with some ups and downs and on Sunday I decided to get out of Bucharest to breathe fresh air, to again see the amazing colors of the autumn and to visit another place full of history. My choice was the Cantacuzino architectural complex from Floresti Prahova, I had read about the history of this monument and having a great respect for the Cantacuzino aristocratic family, I drove almost 80 kilometers from Bucharest to Floresti / Prahova.
The weather and the road itself helped me along and put me in a good mood. The village of Floresti is located in Prahova County nearby the oil field of the city of Baicoi. From Bucharest to Baicoi the DN1 road is quite good and in less than an hour and a half it's possible to reach the back-road from the DN1 to the village of Floresti. The first unpleasant moment was when I "felt" the back-road, but I told myself that this road isn't better or worse than other roads in Romania and my car's German engineering can manage this inconvenience. Following the road I arrived after ten minutes in front of the Church of the Trinity and I parked there in the mud as I had no other solution.
First, I went in the garden of the church and was delighted to see the garden full of multicolored flowers and the white church. The church was built in 1887 on the site of an older church built by Grigore Cantacuzino between 1826 – 1830. The two icons at the entrance (Saint Paul and Saint Peter) are fresh and painted in amazing pastel colors and inside the church there are many interesting and well painted frescos. In the church the service was ongoing and I saw a lot of people listened to the priest's smooth voice. I silently went out, trying not to disturb the congregation, who appeared in a contemplative mood.
I asked somebody how can I visit the palace named "The Little Trianon" and after few discrepant explanations as usual when the Romanians want to 'help" you arrive at a specific location, I took the decision to leave my car and walk to the palace. The warm and fresh air, the clear blue skies and the sun's rays supported my good mood but… when I discovered the location named "The Little Trianon Palace " (by the way, this is what drivers can seen advertised on the DN1) my good mood fled away instantly.
The history of this castle is very interesting and in many aspects reflects the history of the ancient Romanian aristocratic families.
The castle was built between 1911 and 1913 by the architect Ion Berindey (who built the Cantacuzino Palace in Bucharest on Calea Victoriei) on the order to Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino. The builders included highly skilled French workers who built an eclectic French style architectural complex, unique in Romania, where Rococo and the Neoclassical styles were mixed in very good proportions using, at the same time, the Mavros stlye. Building this palace, the team used all the technological developments from the time such as: beton arme, granite and the iron rail used for the first time by the famous Romanian engineer Anghel Saligny for the "The Charles I Bridge" in Cernavoda.
The Cantacuzino family is a princely family of Wallachia, Moldavia and Russia, a branch of the Kantakouzenous family descended from the Byzantine Emperor John VI Cantacuzenus. The Cantacuzino family had a very important role in the history and in the cultural life of the two Romanian principalities (Wallachia and Moldavia) and in the modern Romania
The palace was named at first as "The lady's palace" but, due to its similarity with the Trianon Palace at Versailles, the name of the Cantacuzino palace was changed to "The Little Trianon". Another particularity of this palace is the heraldic crest of the Cantacuzino family on the principal façade and the design of the windows in Albesti marble. In the garden of the palace the "Water Tower" was built, which is 30 meters high and very similar to the "Chindiei Tower" in the ancient medieval capital of the Wallachia, the city of Targoviste. In a very French style and as at Versailles, the palace complex had a very large and neat garden, a big water basin many stepped terraces down to the Prahova meadow. The palace included a 150 hectare arboretum which once had many exquisite flora species.
This palace is special not only for it eclectic and almost unusual architectural style in our country, but for its history, because degradation began soon after it was made. After George Grigore Cantacuzino's unexpected death, his son Mihail neglected this little architectural jewel. In the First World War, the German troops stripped copper dome and the glazed tile stove and in 1940 the huge earthquake damaged the building further. After the Second World War, Russian troops destroyed another important part of this monument and, following nationalization in 1948 the entire property was used by the communist authorities as a dog training school and a tuberculosis hospital.
The earthquake in 1977 definitively destroyed the palace and especially after 1989 the stones and other remains of the palace were destroyed or stolen. So, one unique architectural complex, with a strange and sad history which once the general Von Paulus described as a priceless treasure: The little Trianon Palace more habitable and much more brilliant than the Paris original, was in its dotage.
Now, "The Little Trianon" Palace is a dreadful and horrible stone mountain of ruins and the garden is totally neglected, only the "Water Tower" is still in place. Its architectural value doesn't matter, its history, its location in the Wine Valley, the surrounding natural beauties. It doesn't appear to matter that in the early 20th century it was named one of the most wonderful palaces in Southern Romania, it doesn't matter that it was built using the newest technology of that time, now our "Little Trianon" is a bundle of trash. I sadly remembered what George Enescu's wife and George Grigore Cantacuzino's daughter in law, Maria Tescanu Rosetti once wrote:
" A real terrestrial paradise,….., rich colors, harmoniously divided : blooming flower beds, the intense green velvet of the smooth lawns, branching hornbeam, impeccably cut, brushwood full of fine smelling flowers, basins, and artistic fountains after the French fashion, classical lines on the long pathways, smooth with fine gravel, which recall the Gardens at Versailles, fresh in the mid August sunset, luminous villas and bright pavilions flamboyant with capuchins and pelargonium…"
Where are all these now? All lost in dust, carelessness, poverty and above all in our total disregard for our history and for the life and creations of the important Romanian aristocratic families. But the history of the place hasn't finished yet and if the Romanians aren't able to preserve their history, others can do it. I heard that a few foreign investors bought the place to restore it and to give back to the Romanians for a better understanding and respect of history and maybe for joy too.. I hope they have enough time, money and patience with our intricate bureaucracy and corruption. I would like to congratulate them and to wish them "Good luck!" !

When and How to Start Potty Training Your Toddler
If you think your child's ready to wean off of diapers but don't know where to begin, these seven steps will lead you through potty training from start to finish. By Dina Roth Port
Potty training might seem like a daunting task, but if your child is truly ready, there's not much to worry about. "Life goes on and one day your child will just do it," says Lisa Asta, M.D., a clinical professor of pediatrics at University of California, San Francisco, and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. "When kids want to go on the potty, they will go on the potty. Sometimes that happens at 18 months, sometimes it doesn't happen until close to age 4, but no healthy child will go into kindergarten in diapers." So don't stress—your child will ultimately get on the potty and do his thing, but you can help guide the process along. If you're ready to make diapers a thing of the past in your house, experts recommend following these seven easy steps. 1. Introduce the Potty Since kids typically start potty training between 18 and 30 months, start talking about potty training occasionally around your child's first birthday to pique interest. Keep a few children's books about potty training lying around your house to read along with your child. And bring up the subject of the potty in conversation; saying things like, "I wonder if Elmo [or your child's favorite stuffed animal] needs to go potty" or "I have to go pee-pee. I'm headed to the potty." The idea is to raise awareness about going potty and make your child comfortable with the overall concept before he's ready to potty train.
2. Look for Signs of Readiness
If your child is staying dry for at least two hours during the day and is dry after naps, this could mean she's ready to give the potty a shot. Before you head to the bathroom, know that she can follow simple instructions, like a request to walk to the bathroom, sit down, and remove her clothes. Also make sure she's interested in wearing big girl underwear. Then consider if she's aware when she's wet: If she cries, fusses, or shows other signs of obvious discomfort when her diaper is soiled and indicates through facial expression, posture, or language that it's time to use the toilet, then she's ready to start the process.
3. Pick the Right Potty and Placement
Some children are afraid of falling in the toilet or just hearing it flush, says Maria Luisa Escolar, MD, a director at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. If your child is comfortable in the bathroom, try a potty seat that goes on top of your toilet to reduce the size of the bowl's opening. If not, you can buy a stand-alone potty chair and put it in the playroom or child's bedroom, where he'll become comfortable with its presence over time. When he's ready to give it a try, experts suggest you move it into the bathroom for repeated use, so you don't have to retrain your child down the road to transition from going potty in other rooms. Also get a stepstool—if he's using a potty seat, he'll need it to reach the toilet and also to give his feet support while he's pooping. "People can't empty their bowels and bladders completely unless their feet are pressing down on the floor," explains Scott J. Goldstein, M.D. a clinical instructor of pediatrics at Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern.
4. Choose the Right Time Carefully
Even if your child seems ready, experts say to avoid potty training during transitional or stressful times. If you're moving, taking a vacation, adding a new baby to the family, or going through a divorce, postpone the potty training until about a month after the transitional time. Children trying to learn this new skill will do best if they're relaxed and on a regular routine. You might prefer to get potty training over with as soon as possible—maybe you're curious about the 3-day potty training trend. That's fine, experts say, but not if it becomes too frustrating. "I often see parents who boast that they trained their 2-year-old in a weekend, and then say that the child has accidents four times a day," Dr. Goldstein says. "This is not the same as being potty trained. When kids are truly ready, they often will just start going on the potty on their own."
When you do decide it's time to start potty training, you'll want your child to go to the bathroom independently, day or night, so make sure she has transitioned out of the crib and into a big-kid bed. "Kids need access to a potty 24/7 if they're potty training so they can reach it on their own when they need it," says Wendy Sue Swanson, M.D., a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital. Keep a well-lit path to the bathroom so your child feels safe and comfortable walking there during the night. Of course, if you think you're child isn't ready for a big-kid bed (or, let's face it, if you're not ready), there's no harm in keeping her in diapers at night for a while longer. Talk to your child's doctor about the best time to potty train your child; the answer will range greatly by child, though most kids should be out of diapers during the day by age 3.
5. Demonstrate the Potty Training Methods When you're ready to start training, let your child sit on the potty fully clothed when you are in the bathroom to get a feel for the seat. Then create a schedule: "The key is having times throughout the day where you ritualize using the potty so it becomes more of a habit," Dr. Swanson says. You might want to have him sit on the potty every two hours, whether he has to go or not, including first thing in the morning, before you leave the house, and before naps and bedtime. Tell him to remove his shorts or pants first, his underwear (or, if you're using them, training pants) next, and to sit on the toilet for a few minutes (allot more time, if you think he has to poop). Read him a book or play a game, like 20 Questions, to make the time pass in a fun way. Then, whether or not he actually goes potty, instruct him to flush and wash his hands. Of course, always praise him for trying. It's not uncommon for a child who has been successfully using the potty for a few days to say he wants to go back to diapers. To avoid a power struggle or a situation where your child actually starts a pattern of withholding bowel movements, which can lead to constipation, you might agree to a brief break. But try to build in a plan to resume by asking your child, "Would you like to wear underwear right when you get up or wait until after lunch?"
6. Offer Praise and Rewards When you're potty training, accidents are part of the process; some kids still have accidents through age 5 or 6, and many don't stay dry at night until that age (or even later). Never punish your child for wetting or soiling his pants; he's just learning and can't help it. In fact, doing so might only make your little one scared of using the potty, and that, in turn, will delay the whole process even further. Instead, when your child uses the potty successfully, offer gentle praise and a small reward. You might want to use a sticker chart—your child receives a sticker every time he goes potty; after he's earned, say, three stickers, he gets a small prize. "However, don't go nuts!" Dr. Goldstein says. "A lot of toddlers will react to excessive praise as they react to punishment—by getting scared and avoiding doing the thing that they were excessively praised or punished for." In other words, stick with stickers, a trip to the local park, or even a surprise cup of hot cocoa—no need to go on a shopping spree to Toys 'R' Us. Less tangible rewards, like finally living up to the promise of "being a big kid" are enough for some kids. Remind your child about the benefits of "being a big kid," like if he wore underwear, he would never have to stop playing in order to get his diaper changed. 7. Teach Proper Hygiene To set children up with good hygiene habits that will last a lifetime, washing hands should be a routine from Day 1, along with flushing and wiping, regardless of whether your child actually went in the potty. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wetting hands with cool or warm running water, lathering up with soap, and scrubbing for at least 20 seconds. Make hand washing fun by buying colorful kid-friendly soaps, and make it last long enough by singing a favorite song, like "Happy Birthday to You" or the "ABC Song," so the bubbles work their germ-fighting magic. Yes, toilet training can be stressful—for the parents, that is! But if you follow your child's lead, it won't be stressful for him.

Muhammad Ali's son stopped at airport, again
Several weeks after security officials detained the son of boxing legend Muhammad Ali at a Florida airport, asking him if he's Muslim, he was stopped again at another airport ― this time in Washington, D.C.
According to Muhammad Ali, Jr.'s lawyer Chris Mancini, Ali was stopped and questioned at Ronald Reagan National Airport for about 20 minutes Friday, March 10, the New York Daily News reports. As for the cause for alarm, Mancini claimed officers were skeptical about his identification but that Ali, 44, was finally released after producing his U.S. passport.
Meanwhile, TMZ reports that while Ali was in possession of his Illinois ID, it wasn't sufficient for the agent who then put him on the phone with Homeland Security. The Transportation Security Administration also tells the entertainment news site that the delay was not 20 minutes — only 11, adding Ali was never "detained."
In a separate statement, TSA claimed that agents were concerned about a "large piece of jewelry" Ali was wearing. He was then given a "targeted" pat down and "cleared" to travel. The Department of Homeland Security seconded TSA's claims that Ali was only delayed for about 11 minutes, the New York Daily News reports.

Later on, a photo surfaced via social media, featuring Ali and congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida's 23rd District, posing on a plane. "On way home on DOMESTIC FLIGHT Muhammad Ali Jr. detained AGAIN by @DHSgov. Religiously profiling son of 'The Greatest' will not make us safe," the tweet reads.

"The Go-Slow" — Nnedi Okorafor
Nnedi Okorafor is the author of the novels Zahrah the Windseeker, The Shadow Speaker, and Who Fears Death. Her book for children, Long Juju Man, won the Macmillan Writer's Prize for Africa. She is also the winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature and the Carl Brandon Society's Parallax Award, and has been a finalist for the NAACP Image Award, Andre Norton Award, and the Essence Magazine Literary Award. Forthcoming books include Akata Witch and Iridessa the Fire-Bellied Dragon Frog. Her short fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Clarkesworld, and in anthologies such as Eclipse Three, Seeds of Change, So Long Been Dreaming, and Dark Matter: Reading the Bones.
Our next tale is about wizardry in modern-day Africa. Africa is a less common setting for fantasy stories, but there are some notable works out there for readers who are interested in the continent. Among the best known are the adventure tales of H. Rider Haggard, including She and King Solomon's Mines (starring the character Alan Quatermain, who also appeared in Alan Moore's graphic novel series League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Charles Saunders has written a series of sword and sorcery tales starring African characters, beginning with the collection Imaro. Octavia E. Butler's Wild Seed begins in ancient Africa and follows the lives of two immortals as they attempt to come to terms with their unusual abilities. Alan Dean Foster's Carnivores of Light and Darkness follows an African tribesman who sets out on a quest to rescue a princess and who faces off against all manner of magical obstacles. And Lion's Blood by Steven Barnes is an alternate history in which Africa is the most powerful continent on earth.
In addition to her interest in Africa, another of Nnedi Okorafor's passions is strange creatures. Her work is full of wild and colorful animals, such as the very unusual birds in this next story.

RapidMask® - Snap It. Scratch it. Stick it.
Here are a few quick tips on utilizing RapidMask photoresist film by IKONICS Imaging. Q1: How do you determine if RapidMask is exposed correctly? A: Do the snap test. Once RapidMask is done exposing, you should be able to bend the corner of the exposed film and hear it snap! Q2: How do you determine which side of RapidMask contains the slip sheet (adheres or sticks directly to the substrate)? Do the scratch test. The slip sheet on the RapidMask film will leave an indent or a scratch mark that is visible after scratching. Pull the slip sheet off first, then adhere that sticky side of the film to the substrate. Q3: How do you determine the carrier sheet on RapidMask film? The carrier sheet is more durable and will not scratch! Leave the carrier on and use a squeegee to eliminate all the air bubbles. Remove the carrier, wire wheel any remaining air bubbles, then go sandblast!

Google employees are calling on the company to cancel Project Dragonfly, an effort to create a censored search engine in China.
"Many of us accepted employment at Google with the company's values in mind, including its previous position on Chinese censorship and surveillance, and an understanding that Google was a company willing to place its values above its profits," an open letter signed by Google employees published Tuesday on Medium says. "After a year of disappointments including Project Maven, Dragonfly, and Google's support for abusers, we no longer believe this is the case."
Eleven Google employees had signed the letter as of its posting, and the number of signatures quickly grew, amounting to more than 100 several hours after it published. By 5 p.m. West Coast time, the letter had 300 signatures.
Project Dragonfly has drawn criticism from human rights groups and U.S. politicians since The Intercept first reported details about the internal effort this summer, and in August, thousands of Google employees signed a letter saying that it raised "urgent moral and ethical issues." Google CEO Sundar Pichai responded by saying publicly that the company is "very early" in its plans but that its experiments found that it could "serve well over 99 percent" of search queries in China. Meanwhile, Alphabet Chairman John Hennessy said last week that doing business in China requires compromising "core values."
In their open letter, the Google employees wrote that "leadership's response has been unsatisfactory" so far, and called for "transparency, clear communication, and real accountability." They published the letter in alignment with a petition and day of protests from campaign group Amnesty International.
Google originally withdrew its search service from China in 2010 due to increased concerns about cyberattacks and censorship. Since then, the Chinese government has increasingly curtailed what its citizens can or and can't do online by blacklisting websites and access to information about certain historical events — like the 1989 protests at Tiananmen Square — and requiring people who use online forums to register with their real names.
Google's Chinese search app would have reportedly complied with demands to remove content that the government ruled sensitive and linked users' searches to their personal phone numbers. Critics say that by cooperating with the Chinese government, Google would have violated principles of free expression as well as users' privacy rights.
"We object to technologies that aid the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable, wherever they may be," the letter says. "Dragonfly in China would establish a dangerous precedent at a volatile political moment, one that would make it harder for Google to deny other countries similar concessions."
A Google spokesperson said in a statement the company's work on search has been exploratory and that it's "not close" to launching a product out of Project Dragonfly.
Two of the original signers of the public letter were among a core group of organizers behind an international walkout of Google employees earlier this month. In the past year, the tech industry generally and Google employees in particular have shown an unusually high level of labor organizing, with employees sounding off about multiple workplace issues, including diversity and controversial company business contracts.
Google made changes to its sexual harassment and misconduct policies after employees staged massive walkouts earlier this month (though the company ignored several of the organizers' demands like adding an employee representative to Alphabet's board)
Here's the full letter from Google employees:
We are Google employees and we join Amnesty International in calling on Google to cancel project Dragonfly, Google's effort to create a censored search engine for the Chinese market that enables state surveillance.
We are among thousands of employees who have raised our voices for months. International human rights organizations and investigative reporters have also sounded the alarm, emphasizing serious human rights concerns and repeatedly calling on Google to cancel the project. So far, our leadership's response has been unsatisfactory.
Our opposition to Dragonfly is not about China: we object to technologies that aid the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable, wherever they may be. The Chinese government certainly isn't alone in its readiness to stifle freedom of expression, and to use surveillance to repress dissent. Dragonfly in China would establish a dangerous precedent at a volatile political moment, one that would make it harder for Google to deny other countries similar concessions.
Our company's decision comes as the Chinese government is openly expanding its surveillance powers and tools of population control. Many of these rely on advanced technologies, and combine online activity, personal records, and mass monitoring to track and profile citizens. Reports are already showing who bears the cost, including Uyghurs, women's rights advocates, and students. Providing the Chinese government with ready access to user data, as required by Chinese law, would make Google complicit in oppression and human rights abuses.
Dragonfly would also enable censorship and government-directed disinformation, and destabilize the ground truth on which popular deliberation and dissent rely. Given the Chinese government's reported suppression of dissident voices, such controls would likely be used to silence marginalized people, and favor information that promotes government interests.
Many of us accepted employment at Google with the company's values in mind, including its previous position on Chinese censorship and surveillance, and an understanding that Google was a company willing to place its values above its profits. After a year of disappointments including Project Maven, Dragonfly, and Google's support for abusers, we no longer believe this is the case. This is why we're taking a stand.
We join with Amnesty International in demanding that Google cancel Dragonfly. We also demand that leadership commit to transparency, clear communication, and real accountability. Google is too powerful not to be held accountable. We deserve to know what we're building and we deserve a say in these significant decisions.

I had fun mentally re-eating all the good stuff I had in New York… let's do it again!
This week, I'm going back to Chicago. Initially, I only agreed to add it to the itinerary because husband wanted to go; I really didn't know
much anything about the city, other than it's home to the Chicago Bulls, and as children of the 90s/the Jordan era who both grew up playing basketball, that's obviously our NBA team of choice. Other than that, it was a bit of a blank city for me.
After spending almost a week there over Christmas, though, my opinion changed completely; I loved that city. I can't tell you why, either – it was just one of those places that felt good to be in. Beautiful buildings, the gorgeous river than runs through it, friendly people, and amazing food. The food scene reminded me a lot of Melbourne, actually, which may be one of the big reasons I loved it so much! We ate a lot in that week, and it was hard to narrow it down to the favourites, but here they are….
1. Do-Rite Donuts (donuts)
The food: A traditional buttermilk glaze
The memory: Ohh I loved this place! Our first day in Chicago, it was cold like I couldn't believe, and it was Christmas Eve! We were on our way to the Christkindl Christmas Market, and noticed a giant donut pointing the way to a cute little store. We grabbed a donut and some hot tea, pulled up our hoods and sat out the front in the cold to take it all in… a kindly old man sitting on the table next to us struck up a friendly conversation, and it was the most wonderful welcome to any city we've ever had!
2. Au Cheval (diner, burgers)
The food: The Au Cheval cheeseburger with a fried egg; same thing everyone else was ordering!
The memory: The wind was like little frosty daggers this day, and after a morning of sight-seeing, we couldn't have been happier to get into Au Cheval and escape the cold! After much pre-trip Googling, Au Cheval's fried egg cheeseburger seemed to be the must-try burger for Chicago, and it didn't disappoint. We were lucky enough to get a seat at the counter where we watched the most well-oiled machine out together the most spectacular looking (and smelling) food for the Saturday lunch crowd; it was mesmerising, and really made us think of Chicago as a proper food city.
3. Portillo's (hot dogs)
The food: A Chicago dog. Obviously.
The memory: Another day of walking and walking and more walking, we finally found ourselves in the neighourhood of a Portillo's, and it was finally Chicago Dog time. I remember sitting on the second level of the restaurant watching over all of the happy people and families with their tables of dogs and fries, and thinking how lucky we were to have made it all the way across the world to enjoy something as simple as a hot dog, which so many people would completely take for granted!
4. Billy Goat Tavern (burgers)
The food: Double cheezborger. No fries, CHEEPS! No Pepsi, COKE!
The memory: This was another exciting one – we love watching travel shows, especially the ones that are food heavy. And on all of the travel shows about Chicago and food, the Billy Goat Tavern shows itself. We sat there in the crowded sub-street level diner with our burgers re-hashing the Bulls game we'd been to the night before, and talking about how long ago it felt that we were sitting on the couch watching this place on TV wondering if we'd ever actually get there…
5. Lou Malnati's (deep dish pizza)
The food: The Malnati Chicago Classic – sausage, cheese and vine-ripened tomato sauce. Simple.
The memory: I know that "real" Chicagoans don't do deep dish pizza, but to enjoy it, you just need to not think of it as pizza. It's a quiche pizza hybrid. A quizza, if you will. This was one of the deep thoughts that was discussed over dinner, sitting at a high bench table, finally out of the -15°C cold. Sometimes we just act like kids…
6. Rubi's Tacos (street food – tacos)
The food: Pork tacos – amazing!!!
The memory: Market and street food are two of my favourite things, and when we came across Rubi's with a massive line, we figured we should probably join it – I remembered reading somewhere they did the best tacos. When we realised no one in the line was speaking English and there was no real menu, we figured a) we were definitely in the right place for breakfast and b) it was lucky I knew how to order pork tacos in Spanish. Sitting among the crowd, we stood out like green elephants, and really enjoyed feeling so out of place – that's what travel is all about!
7. Doughnut Vault (donuts)
The food: A vanilla glazed raised and a buttermilk old fashioned
The memory: A tiny little place with the delicious smell of fried dough in the air and nowhere to sit – it felt just like being back in Melbourne! Another freezing day, we got there nice and early, grabbed our donuts and enjoyed them outside – I remember my butt being freezing against the cold concrete sidewalk we were sitting on, my fingers being sticky as all hell, and the two of us giggling like we were two kids who'd stolen a piece of birthday cake. Good times in Chicago! 🙂

PAM_UNIXSection: Linux\-PAM Manual (8)
Updated: 06/29/2009
Index Return to Main Contents
pam_unix - Module for traditional password authentication
- pam_unix.so [...]
The account component performs the task of establishing the status of the user's account and password based on the following shadow elements: expire, last_change, max_change, min_change, warn_change. In the case of the latter, it may offer advice to the user on changing their password or, through the PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD return, delay giving service to the user until they have established a new password. The entries listed above are documented in the shadow(5) manual page. Should the user's record not contain one or more of these entries, the corresponding shadow check is not performed.
The authentication component performs the task of checking the users credentials (password). The default action of this module is to not permit the user access to a service if their official password is blank.
A helper binary, unix_chkpwd(8), is provided to check the user's password when it is stored in a read protected database. This binary is very simple and will only check the password of the user invoking it. It is called transparently on behalf of the user by the authenticating component of this module. In this way it is possible for applications like xlock(1) to work without being setuid-root. The module, by default, will temporarily turn off SIGCHLD handling for the duration of execution of the helper binary. This is generally the right thing to do, as many applications are not prepared to handle this signal from a child they didn't know was fork()d. The noreap module argument can be used to suppress this temporary shielding and may be needed for use with certain applications.
The password component of this module performs the task of updating the user's password.
The session component of this module logs when a user logins or leave the system.
Remaining arguments, supported by others functions of this module, are silently ignored. Other arguments are logged as errors through syslog(3).
- Turns on debugging via syslog(3).
- A little more extreme than debug.
- The default action of this module is to not permit the user access to a service if their official password is blank. The nullok argument overrides this default.
- Before prompting the user for their password, the module first tries the previous stacked module's password in case that satisfies this module as well.
- The argument use_first_pass forces the module to use a previous stacked modules password and will never prompt the user - if no password is available or the password is not appropriate, the user will be denied access.
- This argument can be used to discourage the authentication component from requesting a delay should the authentication as a whole fail. The default action is for the module to request a delay-on-failure of the order of two second.
- When password changing enforce the module to set the new password to the one provided by a previously stacked password module (this is used in the example of the stacking of the pam_cracklib module documented below).
- This argument is used to inform the module that it is not to pay attention to/make available the old or new passwords from/to other (stacked) password modules.
- NIS RPC is used for setting new passwords.
- The last n passwords for each user are saved in FC/etc/security/opasswdF[] in order to force password change history and keep the user from alternating between the same password too frequently.
- Try to maintain a shadow based system.
- When a user changes their password next, encrypt it with the MD5 algorithm.
- When a user changes their password next, encrypt it with the DEC C2 algorithm.
- When a user changes their password next, encrypt it with the SHA256 algorithm. If the SHA256 algorithm is not known to the crypt(3) function, fall back to MD5.
- When a user changes their password next, encrypt it with the SHA512 algorithm. If the SHA512 algorithm is not known to the crypt(3) function, fall back to MD5.
- When a user changes their password next, encrypt it with the blowfish algorithm. If the blowfish algorithm is not known to the crypt(3) function, fall back to MD5.
- Set the optional number of rounds of the SHA256, SHA512 and blowfish password hashing algorithms to n.
- Ignore errors reading shadow information for users in the account management module.
Invalid arguments are logged with syslog(3).
All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.
- Ignore this module.
An example usage for FC/etc/pam.d/loginF[] would be:
# Authenticate the user auth required pam_unix.so # Ensure users account and password are still active account required pam_unix.so # Change the users password, but at first check the strength # with pam_cracklib(8) password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3 password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 session required pam_unix.so
pam_unix was written by various people.
This document was created by man2html, using the manual pages.

Welcome to Vodafone Community
So as part of a troubleshooting issue, I thought I had deactivated my sure signal, it is no longer on my account but upon registering it is telling me it is already registered.
Tried factory resetting it.
Any help please?
Hi @Ryeshe
You may have removed the sure signal from your account but the device still needs to be deregistered.
If you use live chat or call customer services they will check the device is deregistered. It is recommended to wait 24 hours before reregistering.
Thanks, sadly live chat can't as this was done from a business account at work. There number is down due to tech difficulties. Could do with it tonight as I am 24\7 remote PC support and signal is weak but I'll try tomorrow.
Thanks again.
@Ryeshe - I hope your Sure Signal's now de-registered. If it isn't, please ask whoever's authorised on the Business account to get in touch with us. They can do this by following the steps in this private message.
