Digital Earth Australia
The Australian Government is investing in a world first analysis platform for satellite imagery and other Earth observations.
From sustainably managing the environment to developing resources and optimising our agricultural potential, Australia must overcome a number of challenges to meet the needs of our growing population.
Digital Earth Australia (DEA) will deliver a unique capability to process, interrogate, and present Earth observation satellite data in response to these issues. It will track changes across Australia in unprecedented detail, identifying soil and coastal erosion, crop growth, water quality, and changes to cities and regions.
DEA will build on the globally recognised innovation, the Australian Geoscience Data Cube1; which was the winner of the 2016 Content Platform of the Year at the Geospatial World Leadership Awards and was developed as a partnership between GA, CSIRO and the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) supported National Computational Infrastructure (NCI).

What is Digital Earth Australia?
Australia's surface has been continually imaged by satellites for decades, recording a wide range of information about our land and water resources. Historically, this data has been warehoused in unreliable and difficult to access government stores, where its potential is wasted.
DEA translates over 30 years of Earth observation satellite imagery into information and insights about the changing Australian landscape and coastline, providing a ground-breaking approach to organising, analysing, and storing vast quantities of data. It provides access to businesses, researchers, and governments to monitor and track these changes over time.
To fully realise the benefits of DEA once operational, the platform and products will be open and freely available to any user. DEA will provide governments, individuals, and businesses with reliable, standardised, and easily accessible products and services; which will deliver new capabilities to increase efficiency, bolster profit, and create jobs. This will revolutionise land planning, agriculture, mining, environment analysis, and research.
How does DEA work?
DEA is a series of data structures and tools which organise and enable the analysis of large Earth observation satellite data collections.
A key element of DEA is the calibration and standardisation of the data. This increases the value which can be derived from Earth observation and other sources of large datasets, as it allows for the rapid development of information products to enable informed decision making across government and private industry.
In the past, satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets were downloaded, analysed, and provided to users on a custom basis. This took a long time to produce at a high cost, for a single purpose. By calibrating the entire data stream to the same standard in advance and by making the data accessible in a High Performance Data (HPD) structure co-located with a High Performance Computing (HPC) facility, DEA provides an enabling infrastructure for data-intensive science.
DEA then organises this calibrated data into stacks of consistent, time-stamped geographic 'tiles' so that they can be rapidly manipulated in an HPC environment. A database is used to track the data in DEA. Although DEA contains some 23 trillion individual observations, the database can be used to track every observation back to the point of collection.
DEA will continually synthesise satellite images collected over the last 30 years (taken every two weeks at 25 metre squared resolution) and future images that will be taken every 5 days at 10 metre squared resolution. It will provide these images freely in a platform that can be accessed by any user, and will deliver a unique capability to process, interrogate and present this data in response to specific issues, for example water quality, land use, and forest cover in Australia.
National Computational Infrastructure and DEA
The research infrastructure services and expertise provided by the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is essential to the continual development of DEA. NCI's work on DEA is assisting to overcome the global issue of making more satellite data available in a form that is quick and easy to use. The NCI has drawn on national research infrastructure and services funded by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). Since 2011 $46 million worth of NCRIS-funded infrastructure has been used by the NCI. NCI hardware infrastructure funded as part of the NCRIS NCI project has played a key role in the development and deployment of DEA.
How can I use DEA?
Digital Earth Australia is currently in a private beta for Australian government and academic users eligible for accounts on National Computational Infrastructure (NCI). To access and use the DEA, a user guide is available.
Publicly available data access and web services are currently in development.
The future
Like most new and innovative technologies DEA continues to develop at the same time it is in use. Future work will include:
- Making data from more Earth observation satellites available through the DEA;
- Building new products and tools to support Australian Government agencies to better monitor, protect and enhance Australia's natural resources;
- Developing standard 'services' to support Australia's spatial industry to develop new applications, and;
- Ongoing contribution of open source code and application development to the Open Data Cube community.
Almost every sector in the Australian economy benefits from the use of spatial information and location technologies. Spatial information from Earth observations from space (EOS) contributes around $5.3 billion annually through various industry programmes, and is projected to generate over 15,000 jobs by 20252. Globally, the forecasted growth of 30% per annum in geoservices provides a great opportunity for Australian companies to increase their businesses on an international scale.
Enabling the Australian spatial industry to exploit the full value of EOS information to enhance their business and be competitive in global markets is a key goal of Digital Earth Australia (DEA). The products created by Australian businesses and researchers using DEA will be transferrable to international markets as they evolve. The underpinning satellite data is global, and the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and South Africa are exploring their own deployments, based on DEA.
Understanding the requirements of Australian businesses for Earth observations, data infrastructure, and information products is integral to the success of DEA and to fully realising the benefits of spatial information. In 2017/18, the DEA programme will be working with the Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information to develop an Industry Strategy that ensures the DEA will generate value for the spatial industry and the wider Australian economy.
The Australian spatial community is already leading the way in developing a roadmap to transform the spatial sector over the next decade. The 2026 Spatial Industry Transformation and Growth Agenda and the Australian Earth Observation Community Plan 2026 provide a focus to drive accelerated growth that will transform the Australian spatial sector and location-dependent industries over the next decade. Both agenda and plan recognise the importance of DEA as a key part of the infrastructure needed to realise the full benefits of spatial information.

2 ACIL Allen Consulting. (2015). The Value of Earth Observations from Space to Australia.
The volume of Earth observation data continues to grow, offering great potential to improve the understanding of our physical environment. The standardised data infrastructure of DEA removes the need for difficult and time-consuming pre-processing of the data for individual applications. Economic benefits are expected to be realised from better targeted government investment, reduced burden on the recipients of government funding, and increased productivity for businesses and individuals.
DEA will benefit government departments and agencies that need accurate and timely spatial information on the health and productivity of Australia's landscape. This near real-time information can be readily used as an evidence base for the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies, programmes and regulation, and for developing policy advice.
DEA also enables more effective responses to problems of national significance. Information extracted from Earth observation data will reduce risk from natural hazards such as bushfires and floods, assist in securing food resources, and enable informed decision making across government and in private industry.
DEA will also benefit individuals and businesses who can capitalise quickly on big, open data from which they can innovate to produce new products and services for both domestic and international markets. This in turn will create demand in new and existing industries, increasing profitability and productivity and generating downstream jobs.
The following products are initial examples of how DEA will underpin innovation and capability across government, industry, and the research community. Here is an application that contains some DEA products and a time series plot function that returns pixel values over a selected location and time period.
Water Observations from Space (WOfS)
Water Observations from Space (WOfS) is the world's first continent-scale map of the presence of surface water.3
WOfS is a web service displaying historical surface water observations derived from the Australia-wide Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 satellite imagery archive. WOfS provides insight into the behaviour of surface water across Australia through time, from 1987 to today. It highlights where water is normally present in our landscape, where water is seldom observed, and where inundation has occasionally occurred.
WOfS uses imagery that has first been corrected for atmospheric affects, sun and sensor angles, and terrain affects. Each Landsat image is analysed using a standard, automated algorithm to ensure each scene is analysed in the same way. The analysis determines where water is or is not present on each image. Then, for each location, the number of water detections through time is counted and compared to the number of clear observations of that location (i.e. observations not affected by cloud, shadow or other quality issues).
The final WOfS product shows how often water was observed for every point in Australia in a 25 metre by 25 metre grid.
One use of WOfS is for the Australian Flood Risk Information Portal, which gives access to a variety of flood information through a single online location. WOfS helps us to understand where flooding may have occurred in the past, and this knowledge can reduce future flood impacts through improved disaster planning and supporting preparation.
Fractional Cover (FC)
Fractional Cover (FC) is a measurement that splits the landscape into three parts, or fractions; green (leaves, grass, and growing crops), brown (branches, dry grass or hay, and dead leaf litter), and bare ground (soil or rock). DEA uses Fractional Cover to characterise every 25 m square of Australia for any point in time from 1987 to today. This information can inform a broad range of natural resource management issues4.
Fractional Cover can provide insights into areas of dry vegetation and bare soil, as well as allowing the mapping of living vegetation extent. For example, FC can be used to monitor where animals spend time grazing, providing valuable information for land owners to ensure all of their feed is used. By monitoring the proportion of living vegetation and bare ground through time land managers can determine which parts of the property show heavier grazing or are under-utilised. Placing additional water points in the ungrazed areas may help to move livestock into those areas.
Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)
Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) provides us with the ability to assess the extent of living green vegetation across the entire Australian continent at any point in time from 1987 to today. NDVI changes can also be tracked through time. Sudden drops in NDVI can be caused by a range of processes including tree clearing, cropping, or severe bushfires. Rises in NDVI can be the result of vegetation responding to increased water availability, such as crop growth or greening of irrigated pasture.
NDVI changes over time can also be used to help to map different types of land cover. More gradual, multi-year trends in NDVI values can be used to identify areas where long term increases (e.g. woody weed infestation) or decreases (e.g. drought stress) in living vegetation are occurring.
Intertidal Extents Model (ITEM)
The Intertidal Extents Model (ITEM) is a unique new map of Australia's vast intertidal zone, the area between the land and sea that can be observed between the highest and lowest tide.5
ITEM draws on almost 30 years of Earth observation data to map the extent and elevation profile of the intertidal zone, enabling a more realistic representation and a deeper understanding of Australia's vast coastline.
The knowledge provided by ITEM can contribute to a broad range of applications, including environmental monitoring applications for migratory bird species, habitat mapping in coastal regions, hydrodynamic modelling, and geomorphological studies of features in the intertidal zone.
ITEM is improving digital elevation models of Northern Australia and Queensland. Combining ITEM with other depth and elevation provides a seamless model from the deep oceans through the coastal zone to the land.
Surface Reflectance (SR)
The Surface Reflectance (SR) product is the fundamental starting point for many analyses and provides the underlying data for all other DEA products at this time. Put simply, the Surface Reflectance product turns the images recorded by a satellite into millions of measurements of the Earth's surface. 6SR is produced through a series of corrections that account for complex variations in the atmosphere, sun position, and view angle at the time each satellite image is captured, and corrects the image accordingly. SR allows for a more accurate comparison of imagery captured at different times, by different sensors, in different seasons, and in different locations. It also indicates where the image has been affected by cloud or cloud shadow, contains missing data, or has been affected in other ways.
These corrections have been applied to all satellite imagery from 1987 to today providing a rich history of Australia's changing landscape and coasts.

Route I took: The route I took to get there wasn't necessarily direct, but it did encounter the least amount of traffic. Essentially, you take the Sakatah Trail out of Mankato until you get to Madison Lake. After passing the Trail Blazer Bar & Grill, take the first left off the trail (1st Street/County Road 26). Follow that road for about 10 miles (the road goes through the Lake Henry/Lake Jefferson area and becomes County Road 15) into Cleveland. Once in Cleveland, take a right onto Highway 99 and follow that through Le Center for about 12 miles. Then take a left onto Highway 13, follow that into Montgomery and take a right onto Ash Ave. The bakery will be three blocks down on your right. The route I took to get home (taken because it was extremely humid that day and, in hindsight, I probably should've eaten more than Czech pastries during such a trip) was shorter (Highway 13 to Highway 99 to Highway 169) but also had a lot more traffic to be wary of.
General ease/challenge of ride: Aside from the occasional tree patches on the Sakatah Trail, the back country roads on this trip don't offer a whole lot of shade or wind cover. The distance of the trip is also not what you'd call a short ride. Hill-wise, I really don't recall anything daunting. The Sakatah Trail hill out of the river valley is pretty gradual and the only real noticeable inclines after that are between Le Center and Montgomery, none of which are overwhelming. By virtue of Montgomery being at a higher elevation, the return route is easier. However, I'd imagine the return route I took would be considerably tougher than my initial route if you were to use that to get to Montgomery. The hill down Highway 99 into St. Peter was extreme enough to get my bike up near 40 mph with little effort, so I can only imagine what that'd be like biking up.
Safety of the ride: Undoubtedly, the initial route I took is the safer of the two. For one thing, 14 miles of it is strictly on bike trails and thus more closed off from traffic. For another, the county road between Madison Lake and Cleveland was easily the least busy road I traveled on for that trip. Highway 99 was nerve racking to bike on because it was busy, drivers weren't obeying the speed limit (nothing makes a biker more nervous than a truck whizzing past them at 70 mph) and it lacked a wide shoulder at any point. Highway 169 was no picnic to bike on, as it was the busiest road of the bunch. If I were to do it all over again, I would've come up with a route that avoided Highway 99 altogether. It's just not a good road for cyclists.
Appeal of the destination: While interviewing the owner of Flying Penguin Outdoor Sports about RAGBRAI, I remember him talking about how the different towns in Iowa would have starkly different cultures. Well, if you're looking to find cultural differences close to home, look no further than New Ulm and Montgomery. The towns are only a mere hour from one another, yet one is heavily German for herritage and influence while the other is decidedly Czechoslovakian (see photo of town banner). A Czechoslovakian culture nut could have a field day walking around Montgomery during Kolacky Days, with everything from St. Johns Luthern Church's architecture to Czechoslovakian-attired dancers to Big Honza House in the downtown area.
While I'm always a fan of soaking in culture, I biked to Montgomery for one reason and one reason only: To get my hands on some quality kolackys at Franke's Bakery.
For the uninitiated, according to Montgomery's website, a kolacky is a small dinner roll-like pastry which is folded, enclosing filling in the center. Kolackys originated in Czechoslovakia when working men became frustrated that fruit in the open-faced buns would get all over their lunch buckets. The men had their wives fold over the pastry. Problem solved.
Admittedly, this served as something of a makeup trip for me. Montgomery's Tour de Bun bike ride is this Saturday, and it features recreational courses of 12, 30 and 50 miles in the Montgomery area. The bike ride is part of Montgomery's annual Kolacky Days Festival which has everything you could possibly want in a festival: Carnivals, beer gardens, Czech food, museum tours, craft sales, tractor pulls, baking contests, softball tournaments, and a pageant.
Needless to say, the Tour de Bun is pretty much right in my wheelhouse for an event to sign up for. However, I'm unable to participate in it because I leave for RAGBRAI that day. So I decided to experience Kolacky Days with a little bike tour of my own. I figured I was unfamiliar with the famed Czech pasty and needed to get a good training ride in for RAGBRAI.
- After getting to Franke's Bakery, it took me awhile to locate the kolackys. As far as appearance goes, they're really nothing special; they pretty much look like plain old dinner rolls. There were certainly more eye-catching bakery items in the store (I was practically drooling over the rasperry turnovers), but I didn't bike that far for a run-of-the-mill pastry. On the advice of previous visitors, I opted for a 6-pack of kolackys split into half apricot, half raspberry flavored pastries. I threw in a carton of chocolate milk with my purchase, reason that I needed something more than water to wash the pastries down.
Yes sir, the pastries were indeed tasty. However, they weren't quite worth an 80 mile bike trip through humidity hell. I had to stop for water every 10 miles or so along the way and felt like Tim Robbins at the end of the septic pipe in 'Shawshank Redemption' by the time I reached Mankato. I actually stopped to jump in Hiniker Pond on my way home just to cool down.
If I were to do the trip over again, I would either pick a cooler day, or I would do it during the actual Kolacky Days just to get more bang for the buck out of the trip. Or perhaps couple the Franke's visit with a trip to Big Honza House (I like saying the full name of the restaurant, it just sounds cool). Might as well immerse yourself in Czech food if you're going to bike that far.

The 10 x 10 Super Quick Content Ideas Hack
Getting the ball rolling with content ideas can feel really overwhelming sometimes.
I know you guys feel the same.
From the messages, emails and updates I get, I see the content paralysis kick in and it gets harder and harder to re-start the flow, despite our best intentions.
I have a really quick method that will get you quick results for content ideas in no time at all.
It's part of a larger toolkit and framework that I use, and I love sharing this one as the light bulb moments happen really quickly (and who doesn't love lightbulbs?!).
The 10 x 10 super quick content ideas hack
To kick things off, I want you to grab a fresh notebook, or page in Evernote, and jot down under each heading 10 of the following headings. It should take you around 15 minutes for this part, so brew up a coffee and make some time.
- 10 things you have worked on recently.
- 10 stories in the media, or in your industry news.
- 10 things you only just learned to do (or are learning).
- 10 things you have improved at in the last 5 years.
- 10 testimonials you had in the last year.
- 10 things that are unique to you and your experience.
- 10 things that your clients need help with.
- 10 things that people ask you all the time.
- 10 things you are incredibly passionate about,
and could talk about for ages.
- 10 things that you do in your working day as a habit.
(tip: if you can't think of 10 of each don't worry, just make a start and do what you can).
Now, the fun begins.
Let's take each of the sections, and start to play them off against each other.
For example:
Things you have worked on versus things you are learning
What take away can you share with your audience? Do you have any before and after stories?
Or we could try:
Stories on the media versus things your clients need help with.
What is happening now that you could hook a story onto with your personal expertise? Do you have an opinion on a news item or trend that you can comment on?
Spend 10 minutes jotting down some possible combinations.
Stop when the brain freeze kicks in – we aren't about overwhelm here, just the opposite, in fact.
Ok, well done.
Hit reply and let me know how the brainstorm goes and what lighbulb moments you had.
Or, tweet @killercontentAC with your results (extra points for screen shots of lists).
Don't worry about formats, word counts, styles posts or any of that stuff yet.
This is just to show you that we can overcome the rabbit in headlights idea overwhelm.
Grab yourself a PDF of this quick cheatsheet right here.

Critical Context
(Survey of Dramatic Literature)
A recurrent theme in Mark Medoff's oeuvre is the discrepancy between the heroic and innocent dreams of childhood and adult reality. Besides When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?, this same conflict is central to The Kramer (pr. 1972) and, especially, The Majestic Kid (pr. 1965). The device is perhaps most obvious in The Majestic Kid, where Medoff introduces as a character in the play the cowboy hero the Laredo Kid. The Kid can only be seen by the protagonist of the play, Aaron Weiss, who himself throughout the play tries to conform to the macho image of his boyhood heroic projection of himself as the Majestic Kid. The Laredo Kid is a fleshing out of subconscious processes in Aaron's mind as he faces various situations and challenges. The conflict is that the cowboy heroes and their ideals, if they ever had live models, belong in the 1940's and 1950's. In Medoff's plays, they are like dinosaurs trying to pass as twentieth century animals: They simply do not belong. Aaron is a modern, sensitive man, full of angst and possessing a healthy respect for women. He cannot fill out the heroic shadow of his childhood ideal, nor can he see how this awkward, oversized piece—the cowboy hero—could ever fit into the puzzle of a modern, sleek world.
Another recurrent element in Medoff's works is the violent outsider who tries to come to grips with a world with which he somehow is about to lose contact. Teddy in When...

HEUVELTON -- Funeral services for Bernard "Butch" C. Spriggs, age 69 of York Street, will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, April 24, 2017 at Foxwood Memorial Park with Rev. Paul Dettmer and Pastor Reggie Curtis co-officiating.
There will be no calling hours.
Mr. Spriggs passed away on Friday, March 17, 2017 at Claxton Hepburn Medical Center with his family by his side.
Surviving are a son, Shawn Spriggs and his wife, Janel of Potsdam; grandchildren, Owen and Liam Spriggs of Potsdam; sisters, Irene Enslow of Lisbon and Patricia Laviolette of Trout River, Quebec; a half-brother, Leo Spriggs of Lisbon; a close family friend, David McCabe of Ogdensburg; special caregivers who cared for "Butch" tirelessly and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
His wife, Marabeth Spriggs and sister, JoAnn McDonald predeceased him.
"Butch" was born on April 2, 1947 in Ogdensburg, a son of the late William "Rocky" and Korleen (Bishop) Spriggs.
He graduated from Ogdensburg Free Academy and later married Marabeth J. Bouchey on June 17, 1967 in Hanover, NH.
During his career he worked at Woods Produce, Acco Brands and the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center where he retired from as a mental hygiene therapy aide in 2002.
He enjoyed having his annual garage sale for 25+ years, telling a good story, driving, socializing with others and spending time with his family.
Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers can be made to the St. Lawrence County SPCA or the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire and Rescue.
Condolences can also be shared online at www.foxandmurrayfuneralhome.com.

Attachments are files sent or received in e-mail messages. You can attach a variety of file types to an e-mail message. Attachments can be audio clips, graphic images, programs, or word-processing documents. Attaching files can help e-mail users because it allows users to send valuable information that is too lengthy or awkward to be included in the body of a message. Attachments also reduce the time spent on writing messages by enabling you to include files that illustrate important points.
For example, if a supervisor needs to remind employees of the importance of knowing and adhering to copyright laws when writing e-mail messages, an e-mail message with an attachment containing federal copyright laws could be sent to all employees. Sending the laws in an attachment saves time because it contains important points that the supervisor would otherwise need to explain in the message. It also gives employees access to information they might not have earlier.

This morning at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m. PT) eager customers had the opportunity to get their iPhone 5 pre-orders in before the masses – or so they thought. Not only did the massive amount of people create a sort of online traffic jam, it turns out demand for Apple's latest handset was so huge that pre-order units have already sold out.
While the initial pre-order batch may already be long gone, anyone who still wants to pre-order the new handset still can. However, it looks like those orders will be shipping out a week later than the phones early birds struggled to get their virtual mitts on this morning.
Though we wouldn't expect anything less from the Apple fanatics of the world, the sell-out still comes as a bit of a surprise. Last year, when Apple started accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 4S, it took 22 hours to run through the initial stock, this year it only took 1 hour.
That said, if you absolutely must have an iPhone 5 on launch day, Sept. 21st, you'll want to head to a brick-and-mortar Apple Store. Even then, you'll need to get there early – we have a sneaking suspicion those lines are going to be a little long and once the phones are gone, they're gone. Until the next shipment arrives, that is.

'Social contract' must be more than 'just sheets of paper'
Breaking News June 19, 2017 15:43
By The Nation
A proposed "social contract" for reconciliation consists of "just sheets of paper" and requires cooperation from all parties involved in order to achieve the goal, the spokesman for the government's reconciliation-building committee said on Monday.
Maj-General Kongcheep Tantrawanit, who also serves as the Defence Ministry spokesman, said the committee – chaired by Deputy Premier and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan – had endorsed a proposal submitted by Army chief General Chalermchai Sutthisart at its meeting on Monday.
However, in order to achieve reconciliation in line with the guidelines in the proposed social contract, the people involved need to help prevent conflicts and violence that could happen in the future, the spokesman stressed.
The draft social contract will be put before public hearings to be held at the Army Area commands in each of the four main regions of the country – in Bangkok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Phitsanulok and Nakhon Si Thammarat – between June 27 and July 7.

- 4 Diaper Materials

- 6 One last point, are recyclable nappies as much dirty work as they appear?
Prepare to transform alot of baby diapers!
Your package of pleasure will need around 6000 nappy adjustments before graduating to undies. That's a great deal of unclean nappies as well as, relying on which ones you utilize, either a lot of waste or a lot of cleaning!
There's the poo variable– that nappy has obtained ta be up to the work. The things we provide for love.
A stitch in time saves 9 … mins of rest
Obtaining a nappy plan in place before baby occurs will certainly conserve you time, cash and power, as well as will have a large influence on your ecological footprint. Having said that, it's never ever far too late to switch nappy groups or blend it up a little bit depending upon your worry for the atmosphere versus your worry for your peace of mind … as well as your need for rest.
Allow's get to recognize nappies.
Great ol' disposables. With actually just one design, they soak up dampness rapidly to protect against leaks and also 'lock it in' to maintain your bub reasonably dry; are very easy and also fast to secure; stay shut during use; and fit numerous shapes and also sizes.
Reusable modern-day towel nappies
Modern fabric nappies (MCNs) are ending up being more prominent and also, to be clear, we're not talking the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the new whiz-bang variation featuring a water-resistant cover, leak-proof elasticised leg openings and also absorptive padding and liner.
The different designs
There are more than 200 brand names– the majority of which are made by work-at-home mums who offer them online on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorbent inner to create the nappy– they can take a bit to dry.
All-in-twos, additionally called snap-in-ones, include a lined waterproof outer layer as well as absorbing internal layers, which "break in" with press studs. They could be taken apart for laundering, so they dry out faster than all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a water-proof external layer sewn together with a soft inner cellular lining, which creates the shell. In between these 2 layers there's a pocket for the absorptive inserts. These are gotten rid of for cleaning after that replaced, which could be a little bit fiddly but on the plus side they dry out swiftly.
Antique terry-towelling square nappies are also still readily available. They could take a little practice to fold and also fit right, yet they are a more affordable multiple-use alternative compared to MCNs, and also contemporary fasteners imply you do not also should use security pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– exactly how do I select in Blakesburg Iowa?
There are a number of considerations, so allow's take a look at them.
The upfront cost of multiple-use nappies is quite high, however in the long run it's possibly less expensive than disposables– decreasing in cost greatly with every kid.
Fabric nappies do need a bit a lot more job, and may be a discomfort when you're out. Much like an exhausted bub.
Top quality, well-fitting nappies– whether towel or disposable– will certainly maintain baby dry, as well as won't trigger nappy breakout.
Ecological influence
Non reusable nappies actually don't have the very best eco-friendly credibility, however there are choices to lower their impact:
Some brand names are naturally degradable, though conditions in landfill make this deterioration challenging to take place.
Some have compostable or recyclable product packaging.
Getting locally-made nappies, rather than imported, saves money on transport carbon price.
Despite the environmental costs of textile production and also nappy laundering, fabric nappies that are dry-pailed as well as primarily line-dried still appeared in advance of disposables.
Disposables come in different sizes to suit your growing bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, and also eventually you could move right into pull-up trousers from some of the very same brands.
MCNs are readily available in taken care of sizes, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has additional fastenings for readjusting the nappy as your child grows.
Fixed-size nappies suggests acquiring brand-new collections as your baby grows bigger, so it could cost even more. On the various other hand, if you're having more than one child, you'll make use of the outgrown ones once more.
You'll just require one collection of OSFM nappies, however their longer use means more wear and tear, and also they could only last with one child's infancy.
Diaper Materials
The kind of textile utilized impacts drying time. Natural fibers normally take longer to dry than synthetics, and you'll intend to see to it you have enough nappies to get via a few days of damp weather if you don't have a clothes dryer.
Paper or textile nappy liners make your laundry life simpler by keeping solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorbent materials (shell liners, pads as well as boosters) consist of bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated fabric (PUL) or lanolised woollen typically used for covers– if you have an interest in that type of point.
I desire a verdict– which nappy is ideal?
For ecological and also monetary reasons, you can't transcend MCNs.
For ease-of-use and also convenience, disposables are the means to go.
Certainly it doesn't have to be one or the various other: you can utilize fabric nappies at home during the day, and disposables when out and around, going away, in the evening, at day care, and throughout extended periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not use the dryer.
If you're uncertain:
Acquire a solitary nappy of each type that piques your interest.
Some MCN business market test loads with examples of the different designs.
Employ a test pack from a nappy collection, a service used by nappy business and also area groups: browse the web for 'contemporary fabric nappy collection' to locate one near you.
How do I recognize I've picked the appropriate nappy?
Whatever you have actually picked, right here's the list for a great nappy:
No dripping around the legs.
No liquid permeating through the cover.
Not as well limited or also loose around hips as well as legs.
No massaging or chafing from the nappy or fasteners around the legs or hips.
Baby's skin feels reasonably dry when the damp nappy is gotten rid of.
The nappy holds enough fluid to be sensible (ie you do not have to transform frequently).
Baby could relocate legs freely and also, at later phases, crawl as well as stroll without being bothered by the nappy.
One last point, are recyclable nappies as much dirty work as they appear?
There's a very easy five-step technique called completely dry pailing, which followers say make easy work of heavy soils.
Make use of flushable linings to capture solids.
Separate the components (cover and also padding) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones skip in advance to tip 3.
Rinse in cold water if required.
Place them into a container with a cover.
Toss the load into the washing machine each day.
With any luck you now have a delighted, dry infant and also the only thing you need to stress over is just how you'll locate time to Instagram every minute!

Hi Guys,
I have to create an onboarding document for new users of my product so that they have a smooth experience of using it. I need to create a catchy document with the flows of how to use the product. Please let me know if there are any tools available online for some infographic stuff that I can use for the same. I am currently taking screenshots to develop the flow and and using powerpoint to create the document. But the results have been disappointing. The screenshots are very dull and hardly noticeable. I hope someone can help me out here.
Hey there,
Welcome to the community.
I'm currently taking a course which involves a lot of userflow documentation so I feel your pain. Because mine doesn't have to look pretty I've been using pen and paper.
Here are a couple of articles which might help you out.
How do you document your user interaction flows?
Tools for mobile UX design
Using Adobe InDesign for UX design
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions. I hope this helps me. More inputs are welcomed from other users
This might be worth checking out: http://www.walkme.com/. It's a tool for guiding people through your product, rather than making a document that does that.
Just to play devils advocate a bit. I know that a lot of the time you can't get away from having some kind of onboarding when people are new to a product or additional features have been added in.
My question is, can you make your product usable without this? That your audience will have a base understanding of the context around your product, and that the experience lends itself to not needing the explanations?
@mattymcg 's walkme example looks good as you are actually doing things, not just reading information.

LOCI and Deposit Deadline
I have already sent one LOCI to each of the schools i am interested in but still on the waitlist at. As the deposit deadlines approach in april, when is the best time to send a new loci (in which i have something impressive that i've received that i can write about)/new LOR, so that it has the full impact on the admissions committees for after the deposit deadlines for when they might start taking people off the waitlist. Is it better to just do it now or to wait until right before april 1 or april 15 depending on the school? Thanks.

Re: LOCI and Deposit Deadline
I'm not an expert on this, but I think you should send it now.
The more you wait, the more you run the risk of a decision being rendered without the valuable info in their hands.

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - Police are trying to find out who impersonated a United States soldier and talked a woman out of more than a $140,000, according to a search warrant Channel 9 obtained.
The impersonator started a relationship with a woman on the dating website match.com.
They say he went by the name Thomas Peichert.
Through email conversations, he told the woman he was stationed in Afghanistan but could finish his assignment at Fort Bragg if she wired him money.
The woman sent the money to bank accounts in foreign countries with the promise he would pay her back.
Police are using information from the Yahoo email address Peichert used to try and track him down.

When users first encounter a piece of information, they usually want to see it as part of a whole. Like travelers, they need a map both at the beginning of a journey and as their trip progresses to keep their bearings in relation to the destination.
For a book (whether online or printed), users rely on the following elements as a map: table of contents, headings, introductions or overviews, and transitions. In information centers, online help systems, and Web sites, users can keep their bearings with the following aids:

Flynn: Tragedy reveals how relatable pontiff is
Credit: The Associated Press
While taking out the trash, the ever-reliable rubbish collector greeted me yesterday with his usual warm morning greeting. He then said, "Mayor, it's too bad what happened to the pope's nephew in Argentina."
He heard on the radio the pontiff's nephew was hurt and the man's wife and young kids were killed in a car accident. We often talk about what's going on in El Salvador, which is where my rubbish collector is originally from, but this time his thoughts were with Pope Francis.

On tonight's "Angels and Monsters," Heroes dropped a bombshell. The yet unseen patriarch of the Petrelli family – long thought dead by his own hand – was show still alive and running his own "company." And guess what this company's logo is?
Here's what we know: Arthur Petrelli (Robert Forster) is alive, or at least for now hanging in there. He is bed ridden.
Here's how I see it: Arthur had a parting of ways with The Company, probably over the issue of giving people powers. Seeing Arthur as a threat, Angela – or another member of The Company – killed (or at least thought they killed) him, making it look like suicide. But Arthur didn't die – not sure if that a result of his power (which is what?) or just luck.
I think for the last two years Papa Petrelli has been hiding away regaining his strength and forming a plan of vengeance and/or domination. Given what he looks like now, he must have been in really bad shape.
So now Arthur is back in the game with his own company – Pinehearst – and the company's logo is two Godsend symbols intertwined. Given that he's the guy that Daphne has been working for, I'd say that the formula – which can be used to give ordinary people power – is a major part of his plan.
But what exactly is his end game? An army of people with abilities? Why?
We also know that he's been recruiting his oldest son Nathan through the imaginary Linderman. It turns out Linderman is not so much a figment of Nathan's imagination as the work of Maury Parkman.
Major questions here. How did Maury come to work for Arthur? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time we saw Maury he was in the hands of The Company and was trapped in his own mind by his son Matt. How did he escape? Has Maury always sided with Arthur? If not, what did Arthur do to win him over?
Furthermore, I want to know why Daddy is working so hard to win over Nathan? As we learned tonight, Nathan's power is synthetic. Wouldn't the powers of Peter be more useful to Daddy? Or is it the synthetic power that Arthur needs? Although it's never made clear tonight whether Peter and/or Sylar's powers are natural or synthetic, I got the feeling that at least one of them was born with their power.
The next question would be is Arthur Peter and/or Sylar's dad? Maybe Pete's not his, that's why he didn't try to recruit him. Speaking of which, why are they recruiting certain people? Is it because of their family connections or their abilities?
When Daphne was requested to recruit, Maury (as Linderman) gave her files for Knox and Mohinder and she falters calling them "pretty nasty people." It seems Mohinder is moving up on the badass list, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he spent the entire episode collecting people (Maya included) and storing them cocoon-like on his wall.
Daphne recruits Knox, who then kidnaps Adam for Pinehearst. And someone from Pinehearst had already talked to Stephen Canfield (Andre Royo). Plus now we know how Daphne and Matt (another family connection) meet since he's on her recruit list.
Or is Pinehearst just looking for easily swayed people?
Yes I'm thinking of the Japanese Nazis, as Adam called them. "We are the worst heroes ever?" Yes they are.
First they – or rather Hiro despite Ando's protests – lost Kaito's half of the formula to Daphne. Then they got caught by the Haitian while trying to steal the second half and tonight they unbury Adam only to lose him moments later in a "cantina" after being distracted by a Star Wars reference.
Then Hiro kills Ando in an effort to prove he's bad ass enough to join Daphne and Knox. I don't for one minute believe Ando's dead. It's probably another Scooby plan of Hiro's. I just haven't figured out to what end.
While I'm pretty sure that Nathan isn't entirely buying the "dead mobster telling me he's a messenger from God," I think it's going to be Angela herself that pushes her son into Arthur's waiting arms.
After confirming that The Company did give the Tracy – and her sisters Niki and Barbara – their powers and revealing to Nathan that Daddy wanted his son to have powers even if they were synthetic, Angela tried to sound repentant. But it's kind of hard to see past the fact that she has Peter subdued in another room with a medically induced coma. Now that's a mother's love for you.
And Peter almost got a chance to pay her back for all her motherly kindness with a little slice to the head, but brother Sylar stopped him. It seems that Angela has at least one obedient child. And she's going to need it now that she knows Arthur's back thanks to that little premonition.
Meanwhile we were introduced to two new heroes villains people with powers – Stephen Canfield and Eric Doyle (David H. Lawrence).
Claire, in all her infinite teenage wisdom, decided to go hunting for escapees solo. She found Stephen. But so did HRG and Sylar.
Stephen can create vortexes and accidently killed his neighbor over a lawn mower dispute before being hauled away to Level 5 two years ago. Now that he escaped all he wanted to do was reconnect with his family.
Claire just wants to help him, HRG just wants to use him to kill Sylar and Sylar just wants to play father and daughter off each other. In the end Stephen sends himself into a vortex.
In the meantime, Meredith and Sandra discover that Claire is missing and start trolling through the Primatech files looking for clues. But when Meredith spots Eric she calls him a horrible man. It seemed like she had some history with him or at least knew something she wasn't telling.
But if she knew he was a puppet master why would she go there? And how are Claire and Sandra going to end up there next week?
I think this episode was pretty good. I hope it was critical to forming this season. Let's hope I was right and it wasn't just another tangent.
What did you think of the episode? Did you know it was Arthur behind it all? Who are you cheering for – Angela or Arthur?

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA — With the help of the Herndon Police Department, Fairfax County Police said it has arrested and charged a man accused of firing shots at a marked police cruiser.
Brian Neftali Landaverde, 21, of Herndon, Va., has been charged with attempted capital murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony related to the January 22 incident.
Police said that an officer was attempting a traffic stop on Georgetown Pike near Rossmore Ct. in the Great Falls area. The car stopped and a passenger jumped out and ran. The driver then sped off, made a U-turn, drove towards the officer and fired several shots, hitting the cruiser at least twice. The officer was not injured.
"We have made an arrest and made our county safer by taking these violent thugs off the street," said Fairfax County Police Chief Ed Roessler.
The break in the case came Monday night when members of the Herndon Police Department responded to a call of a man displaying a gun in the 1000 block of Elden St. When officers arrived, the suspect, Landaverde, tried to run, but was caught and charged with possession of a stolen firearm.
Herndon Police Chief Maggie DeBoard said statements made by Landaverde following the arrest led police to believe he was connected to the Great Falls shooting.
"Certainly, there's a lot of luck involved that we would respond to a call that would end up connected in that respect. It's what you do with that information when you get there," added DeBoard.
Police said that they had recovered the vehicle involved in the Sunday night incident.
"And it appears that the gunshots were fired from inside the vehicle, through the windshield, at our police officer," said Roessler.
Roessler added that two juveniles are also being questioned in connection with this case, but do not face any charges at this time. Police had said that there were two juveniles in the car with Landaverde during the initial attempted police stop.

Fighting against the academisation of a London school, by Colin Revolting with Juliana J.
Recipe for a community campaign:
- Ingredients: a small group of parents and teachers passionate about comprehensive education.
- Mix them together in a pub or similar receptacle.
- Whisk up ways to spread the word of 'academisation' of their school – i.e. word of mouth, leafleting, press releases, Facebook page, Twitter etc. Be as creative as possible.
- Raise the campaign profile with a small story in the local paper (good for reaching out to parents not in campaign's 'networks').
- Take the campaign to the local town hall (for one hour only) to question the councillors.
- Source info and inspiration from previous campaigns.
- Make the front page of the local paper with huge photo of the group with home made banners.
- Decorate a cold community hall, fill it with a hundred more people who care passionately about comprehensive…

Back in 1984, when the Macintosh first hit the scene, there was nothing else like it. Its easy-to-understand system of folders, files, and menus meant you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to accomplish amazing things with a Mac. But that was nearly two decades ago, and the Macintosh interface has caught on with nearly every computer and operating-system maker out there. Now almost every computer sold—whether it's running Windows, Unix, or the now departed BeOS—has its own graphical user interface with files, folders, and menus. When you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
