How do you decide that a country wants to be a democracy? There is no easy answer to this as well. Iraq: A guy you know has a chronic illness and he will suffer more if he doesn't move more instead of just sitting at home. He doesn't think

Absolutely agree. The problem with drugs has changed though in recent years. The new generation of addicts are doing mostly research chemicals or regular pills like painkillers and such. So in a sense some of the biggest drug dealers in the

What I think simply sucks is that the US brings democracy to countries if those countries want or not for whatever reasons but do not do anything about the civil war next door. The next step in human evolution is to wake up and for people t

Mexican cannabis is grown outdoor without much care, while most commercially grown cannabis is grown in greenhouses or for small growers under artificial light (or even in hydro setups). Most people today do not go to their dealer and ask f

The market will get much smaller for people who want to sell cannabis because lots of consumers will grow it themselves. Many cannabis dealer will also try to start larger growing operations. Same thing happened in the Netherlands.

It was quite obvious they couldn't keep it up for any longer. The harder the competition, the better the fight.

Yep if you go for real luxury goods and pricing this makes sense (also the whole process of doing it). 5 years ago this was our first startup so we screwed a lot of things up (but also learned a lot!) :)

Some companies offer 3D models you can dress up. There was also a startup in Germany if I remember correctly that offered the technology for online retailers. I didn't see it used much though. We had another fashion related project about 5

Absolutely agree. Our brand is now almost two years old, fashion bloggers love it, people pin our products like crazy on Pinterest and so on. But we clearly can not charge prices like established brands do. Opera wanted 10.000 of one of our

I wish you good luck. We are doing something similar, just in a different niche (accessories) and getting the growth you would get by selling wholesale is tough but doable. The "Made in XYZ" does help but only if the product is truly superi

That being said, sativa strains have more often an uplifting high and are therefore often preferred for recreational use while some indica / high cbd strains are actually cultivated to work as sedative or for pain relief. e.g. http://www.r

Wrong. Sativa strains take longer to flower and cultivate and they yield less. Indica is the typical street weed or sativa / indica hybrids.

Apple loses its cool right now... quickly. Wait and see. The problem for Apple is that also the "uninformed crowd" slowly starts to realize that Apple rips them off. That's at least what's happening here in Germany where also mainstream new

Exactly same thoughts. But I will give my Transformer to my wife and get the Pro, simply because I want to experience Windows 8 "how its meant to be" and because the Surface will have a big modder / hacker community.

I'm into the basic practice of mindfulness since years. I read research papers about it every month and also train people in mindfulness skills. Here is the essence of what I learned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sspY43lxqhE&list=UUh

I used my orignial Galaxy Tab a lot for reading PDFs. Works great for me. Get the ezPDF reader and you have everything you will want. The usability of the reader is what makes it stand out imo. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id

I had the original 7 Galaxy Tab and absolutely loved it. I have Transformer Prime now and consider getting this smaller tablet again because the 7 inch form factor is absolutely perfect imo.

The benefit is cognitive defusion. That means you gain the ability to observe your thoughts instead of identifying yourself with them. This gives you more control (because you also learn to accept whatever comes up) and as a result more hap

I'm a gadget nerd and power user and having less devices that get the job done is always better. I own a Transformer Prime which comes pretty close to what the Windows Surface will over in terms of experience. In terms of media consumption
