Overload

How’s your weekend, guys? I didn’t go anywhere. On Saturday, an old friend of ours came to visit and we chatted for a few hours. Last Sunday, my husband must work and I just enjoy my lazy times with watching TV for hours.

For Blue Monday, I want to share some overload captures that I saw on the street (in different cities). Anyway, overload (noun) means an excessive burden. In our daily life, it can make us under stress and exhausted. But when it comes to overloading a vehicle, it will cause dangers such as the vehicle will be fewer stable, hard to steer and take longer to stop. Vehicles respond differently when the maximum weights which they are created to carry are exceeded (source: ArriveAlive).

A Cat and a Jackfruit Tree

The cat was walking, nearing the tree. Was the cat interested with the jackfruits? Just trying to make a fun post for the weekend; would you like to guess what would be done by the cat next? Here are the options:

a.the cat did nothing with the tree and just walked passing by
b.the cat was curious with the jackfruits and sniffed them
c.the cat was only interested with the tree and started to scratch it; sharpening his front legs’ claws.
Which one is your choice?

It’s a pity that I can’t share the ‘next photo’ here. I accidentally deleted it; but I still remember what the cat did next.

Keep Your Consistency

Have you ever watched ‘Super Nanny’ television program? I’ve ever watched it several times. In this program, the parents asked for the Nanny help to handle their children who have ‘bad’ behaviors. It turns out that the main cause is always the parents themselves. One of the most mistakes that parents often do is there’s no consistency in parenting their children.

I’m so glad to find this article that written by Dr. Noel Swanson (marriageadvice.com). He said that when it comes to parenting, consistency is so needed: consistency in what you say and do, and consistency between parents. If you don’t apply it, you give full chance to your kids to manipulate you and play one parent off another.

Here are some pointers that will help you to keep the consistency:
Have a Plan
You should have a plan about how to deal with and face particular situations. Having done that, every time you’re in the particular situation, you will stay calmly and do what you had pre-planned. If you have no plan in your mind, you’ll just react, like yelling and threatening; and you’ll respond differently for the same situation.

Choose Your Battles
It means that you should choose and decide which important rules or things that you must insist on it, every time.

A United Parent
In front of children, parents should have the same decision. If your partner has said NO, you must say NO too; then you can discuss it later privately. Otherwise, kids will go to one parent that gives the answers they want.

Parents should spend time discussing rules and expectations so that you can come up with a consistent plan. One way to do this is to study a parenting book together and then talk about it. Watching TV programs such as Super Nanny would also be a great idea.

Bubbles and Bubbles

Bubbles are usually made of soapy water that has been shaped into a thin film. The film catchs air in the center, causing the bubble to keep its round form until it pops. The adding up of soap to the water is significant. The cause why bubbles only really hold their shape when made with soapy water is that the soap stabilizes the outside of the bubble. The soap reduces the bubble's surface tension, which lets it to enlarge and hold its shape.

When the soapy solution is expanded across a surface (the end of a bubble wand, for example), it forms a thin, filmy sheet with quite low surface tension. As air fills the sheet, it takes on a spherical shape. This is because, as the solution stretches and the surface concentration of the soap drops, the surface tension rises. To recompense for this increase in surface tension, the bubble forms into a shape that puts the least amount of stress on the surface layer. For any given volume, spheres have the lowest possible surface area. This means that the surface layer has to stretch the least when forming into a sphere.

Why they pop?
The addition of soap to the external layer of the bubble reduces evaporation that plagues bubbles that are formed from water alone (such as bubbles blown in a drink with a straw). However, even soap bubbles burst in the end. This is can happen for a couple different reasons. The first is that soap bubbles are automatically drawn to other objects and bubbles. Generally, when they touch these objects, the bubbles pop.

Bubbles also achieve their most capability rather quickly, particularly if they are large. This is because, as the soap in the solution extends out, it's in nature drawn to the feebleest spots in the bubble. Though the soap stabilizes these feeble spots, it also tends to avoid them from enlarging any further. When pushed away from their limits, these areas explode.

Enjoyable Weekend

How’s your weekend? My weekend was enjoyable as my father came home this weekend, Sunday morning, after 10 days in a hospital. Reaching home, straightly my father noticed that our Amarylis is blooming again since June last year.

My brother and family who live in another town came to visit my father and spent one night at our home. My father looked happy seeing my brother could come. Of course, every parent would love to receive attention and affection from their children. I hope my father also love my accompanying during times in the hospital, since my father isn’t an expressive person.

For sharing blue things this Monday, I just want to share a tool which measures the usage of tap water in our home. We subscribe tap water from a local government company. Every resident who subscribes will be installed the same water meter on their homes. The number shown on this tool will be record manually every month by an officer. I always permit the officer to come in and write the number by himself. Neighbors who don’t like ‘a stranger’ come into their yards will provide a board that mentions the numbers. The officer take notes from outside home. How about you, which way do you prefer? How the tap water usage is measured in your place?

A Fly at 3rd Floor

Sorry for sharing unclear photo. In this hospital, my father’s room is at 3rd floor. One morning, when I saw the view outside from the window, I noticed this little guy on the window balcony outside. Aww, this little guy can fly this high!

I browse a while to search more information about this. Most insects can fly as long as they are in the air about fifty degrees Fahrenheit or warmer. If the air temperature at ground level is about seventy degrees, insects have about thirty-six hundred feet before they hit the ceiling and it’s too cold. On ninety-degree days, that limit is at about six thousand feet. If they achieve a height where it’s too chilly for them to fly, they just fold their wings in and go down until they reach a more comfy cruising elevation.

A little update on my father’s condition: we’ll go back home this weekend! Thanks for your sweet attention.
