Those are some very helpful tips for mommies looking for cloth diapering. It helps with the pic tutorial as well.
Cloth Diapering is Not Rocket Science
Cloth diapering is not rocket science at all. In the beginning, one needs to understand what exactly cloth diapering is,types of cloth diapers,how to get started,washing,storing etc.Depending on the type of cloth diaper, you are going to choose and use,cloth diapering becomes as easy as using disposable diapers and most important it does not harm our environment which is like cherry on the cake.
As each and every baby is different so is the case with cloth diapers. Each brand is unique. If you don't do little research on the type of cloth diaper brands available in the market,it is going to result in lot of trail and error. To make your job easier, today I am going to discuss about one of the best cloth diaper brands available in India i.e Bumpadum. Please click here to get transported to their website
The face behind this brand is a Mum herself,so she has taken utmost care while designing various types of cloth diapers under her umbrella brand Bumpadum. A Yale Alumnus has put her MBA skills thoroughly in making the diaper which are 100% made in India. The various types of cloth diapers that Bumpadum has are:
Fitted Diapers are incredibly versatile and are built for babies with sensitive skin. The shells are water resistant instead of waterproof, hence are a more breathable option for babies with sensitive skin.The absorbent insert is attachable to the shell through snaps.
You can pair the shell with any of inserts – daytime/nighttime/organic cotton/flats/pre-folds or with ANY insert/flat you own. Bumpadum allows you to buy the shell alone without any inserts.
Pocket diapers are same as fitted diapers but come with a pocket to stuff the absorbent inside it. At the moment Bumpadum pocket diapers are not in production
All-in-One(AIO) cloth diapers are so far the simplest to understand and to use type of cloth diaper. They are similar to pocket diapers but the soaker or the absorbent is permanently attached to it. There is no need to add anything to AIO diapers. AIO's in Bumpadum are of two types:
- Aviva Organic cotton (Please clink here to get transported to the brand's website & check in details about aviva organic cotton diapers)
- Duet stay dry (Click here to read & understand more about duet stay dry diapers)
Both are same just like AIO's but the difference is you can choose from any of the inserts depending on the usage – daytime, night time, organic cotton inserts or pre-folds which are available on their website.
We discussed inner layers of a Bumpadum cloth diaper here, the our layer is made up of water-proof material PUL (polyurethane laminate) which prevents in leaking and holding all the mess inside.
All the types of diapers come in one size, which fits to babies from 5-15 kg. Neo diapers in Bumpadum come in new-born size which fits to babies from 3-7kg. But I will recommend to all new parents to wait till your baby completes 3 months of age so that all type of cloth diapers they purchase will be useful till baby turns 3.
How to get started with Bumpadum diapers?
Washing or prepping cloth diapers is very important part of cloth diapering journey which should not be missed. The moment you get your hand on this new cloth diaper wash it in warm water at least 3-4 times before putting it to use. When you do 1st wash,make sure you are letting it dry completely before 2nd wash and so on.
The inserts/soakers(organic cotton or micro fleece) are made up of natural fibers which have natural oils in them, that would prevent them from absorbing sufficiently. So, the process of prepping cloth diapers means you get rid of those oils that prevent sufficient absorption.Washing without detergents helps in removing all the natural oils that are present in the absorbents
The diapers are made in the factory, so looking after the hygiene part its always better to wash or clean anything that is going to be on your baby's body especially private parts.
Always use cloth diaper friendly,fragrance free, mild detergent to wash cloth diapers after first 2-3 washes. You can wash them normally in warm or regular water with a regular cycle in machine. If washing the diapers with your hands make sure you don't brush the inner layers. To remove the stains just agitate against each other in your hands.
Poop smeared diapers are very easy to clean. Use jet spray to take off all the dirt, agitate the diapers against each other to get rid off any poop particles if left behind and repeat the above procedure of washing.
Hard water spoils the quality of cloth diapers. If there is hard water supply in the locality where you reside, use water softeners to soak the diapers and follow normal wash routine.
Give bleach wash to all the diapers at least once in two months. Bleach helps in extracting all the residues that are build over the period of time,sometimes due to detergent or some other reason. Bleaching once in a while helps in maintaining the quality of the soakers too.
Now the obvious question will arise,how can I know that the diapers are fully prepped? The honest truth is there is no way to be sure that your diapers are completely prepped. However washing them several times to remove the oils and soften up the fabric will definitely increase their ability to soak. So preparing new cloth diapers made of natural fiber like hemp,cotton & fleece can definitely take a lot of washes to reach its full absorbency.

Getting that perfect fit:
One Size diapers fit babies at different sizes by having an adjustment, usually on the rise (rise=the front of the diaper), that makes the diaper shorter or taller. This is done in combination with the waist that closes tighter or looser around the baby with snaps or velcro.
My son has been an average build since birth.I started using cloth diapers at 4 months since then we get that perfect fit at the mid-rise setting(see baby pic 2 in above picture). We are using same fit till now at 17 months.
Over a year's journey with Bumpadum & experimenting with various brands, I have come to a conclusion that no brand provides the same snug fit as this one does. I have communicated with many cloth diapering Mom's and most of us share same views about its fit. I think this is the most admired brand in the Indian market when it comes to getting that perfect snug fit. At the beginning of my journey with Bumpadum, I was facing leak issues. After much experimentation I understood that the type of fit I was using was wrong. Since I understood the perfect fit, its no looking back since then with Bumpadum
While making the perfect fit make sure that there is no gap near thighs. Double check by inserting one one single finger inside thighs, if your finger slides easily then its a perfect fit. Do same while checking the fit from back-side. Check below picture for understanding it better.
I am using all the types of diaper that Bumpadum has, Aviva Organic cotton AIO,pocket diaper, Duet stay dry AIO and 2.0 AIO. Fully prepped pocket diaper lasts us for about 2 hours maximum and leaking starts only after this time. My kid is heavy wetter. A pocket diaper with single insert which lasted us for 2 hours is a substantial enough for any pocket diaper to last that longer.
While travelling I always try and stick to AIO's. And Bumpadum's stay dry duet which has high quality 8 layers of micro fleece,hemp fleece and cotton terry insert just works wonders for us. The powerful soaker has helped me many times especially while travelling. Fully prepped stay dry duet has lasted for 5 hours(don't forget a heavy wetter baby) which is incredible for any diaper with single soaker to perform at that many hours. I am sure if I use an extra soaker, the same dipe will last us longer.
I think this is too much cloth diaper related information in one post. I will discuss about stripping,storing,the kind of stash you should create and other hacks for having a smooth cloth diapering journey in another post.
Till then let me know in the comments if I missed any point, if you are a cloth diapering Mom.
And if you are planning to start cloth diapers for your baby,I have covered many points that will helpful for you for smooth start.
Till then happy Bumpadum diapering. Please checkout Bumpadum's website(Link mentioned above) for more information regarding the collections, super cute prints and other cloth-diapering related accessories.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San José State men's water polo program wrapped up their 2016 season with a banquet honoring players and coaches on Wednesday night, December 7.
This season was just the men's water polo team's second year as a program since the program was revived in 2015 after a 34-year absence.
"This season was something special to be a part of," said San José State head coach Bruce Watson. "We handled a lot of adversity and we hung in there. Everybody improved individually and we improved as a team. We still have a lot of work to do but we are excited to build on what we have here."
Watson, who was an All-American water polo player at San José State in 1971 and 1972, announced the team awards during the banquet. The winners consisted of three freshman and two sophomores for a young Spartans team.
The 2016 team captains, Tyler Jamieson, who is the first senior for the revitalized program, and sophomore John Moon, were also honored.
"Leadership, direction and camaraderie are very important," said Watson. "These two guys brought these qualities to the team and they were two players we could all count on at any given time."
Freshman Finn Pardon, who tied fellow freshman Marc Weber for most goals on the team with 30, was named the team's offensive MVP. Pardon, a bruiser from Manhattan Beach, Calif., also led the team in ejections drawn (52) and shooting percentage among players who played in all 28 games (.441). He scored multiple goals in 10 games this season.
"Finn is somebody who helped establish our front court. He came up with some amazing shots and huge goals for us over the course of the season."
Ben Hauschild was named the team's defensive MVP. The freshman from Santa Barbara captured an Honorable Mention award from the Golden Coast Conference for his regular season play and finished third in the nation with 52 steals. He also added 29 goals and was third on the team with 40 points.
"Ben has a really good feel for the whole game. He's someone that led the conference in steals but also gets up and scores important goals for the team."
Rounding out the awards won by freshmen was Los Angeles-native Giacomo Lovatelli, who was named Most Improved Spartan. Lovatelli played in 24 games and scored four out of his season total six goals in the last three games of the season. He also added two assists and eight steals for the Spartans.
"Giacomo's game improved over the course of the season and he ended up becoming a really important part of the team."
Sophomore Cole Williams was named the team's most inspirational player for the 2016 season. Williams, a goalie from Stockton, Calif., saw action in 13 games and logged 180 minutes in the cage for the Spartans. He recorded 46 saves this season.
"Cole was always the first guy in the water. He kept everyone organized and did a lot of great things for us this season."
The "Ironman" award was given to sophomore Alek Dendall of Rocklin, Calif. Dendall played in all 28 games and logged 13 goals and 11 assists this season. His most valuable contribution was arguably his work ethic and hustle.
"Nobody worked harder than Alek. He got up and down the pool every day and the team could always count on him giving 100%."
The full list of the 2016 awards and team captains are listed below.
Offensive MVP: Finn Pardon (Fr., Manhattan Beach, Calif.)
Defensive MVP: Ben Hauschild (Fr., Santa Barbara, Calif.)
Most Improved Spartan: Giacomo Lovatelli (Fr., Los Angeles, Calif.)
Most Inspirational: Cole Williams (So., Stockton, Calif.)
Ironman Award: Alek Dendall (So., Rocklin, Calif.)
Tyler Jamieson (Sr., Modesto, Calif.)
John Moon (So., Lake Oswego, Ore.)

Lea Michele's Big Career Plans After 'Glee' Revealed
Lea is ready to say goodbye to 'Glee'! The actress, who proved her versatile talent while guest-starring on the Oct. 14 episode of 'Sons of Anarchy,' wants to 'focus more on movies,' a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. She even wants to win an Oscar!
Lea Michele, 28, doesn't want to be pigeonholed as Rachel Barry for the rest of her life. Though her time on Glee has garnered the actress much attention, she's ready to move on to bigger, "unexpected" roles.
Lea Michele's Career Plans After 'Glee' — What Will The Actress Do Next?
Now that Glee will be airing its final season this January, it seems like perfect timing for Lea to start branching out into different roles! She recently shocked fans during her guest-starring role on Sons of Anarchy, when she played a much darker character than her fans are used to. And it seems like Lea wants to explore this dark side more often!
"[Lea] wants to focus more on movies and wants to do roles that would be unexpected, like what Neil Patrick Harris recently did in Gone Girl. Nobody expected him in that role and he nailed it," our source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
After watching Lea take on her edgiest role yet on SOA, we totally think she can do anything! Like Lea, Neil Patrick Harris, 41, is a comedic actor with a musical background. Everyone went nuts when they saw him play the creepy Desi Collings in David Fincher's Gone Girl. We would die to see Lea play a role like that!
In addition to wanting to take on darker roles, Lea also wants to avoid being typecast for her looks. Instead, she wants to take on roles that will showcase her true talent.
"She wants to not fall into the Jessica Alba mold, where she is in movies for her looks and sexiness. She wants to win Oscars. She imagines competing for the same roles as Anne Hathaway," our source said.
We love and admire Lea for setting high goals for herself, and we don't doubt she'll win an Oscar one day!
Lea Michele On 'Sons Of Anarchy'
Lea is already getting critics' attention. Sons of Anarchy executive producer Paris Barclay raved about Lea's role and how different she was from her role on Glee!
"She brought something totally different from Rachel. I am so excited! I remember seeing her in Spring Awakening when she was just a Broadway actress, and I knew there was a lot deeper actor there then what we have been able to use before or what we have seen on Glee," Paris told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Lea played a character named Gertie, a waitress at a truck-driver stop diner, who smokes and doesn't care about her appearance. We love that the gorgeous actress doesn't limit herself.
So HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think? Would you love to see Lea win an Oscar? Let us know!

Cocktails for a cause
Over the past four years, Kathmandu Kids – a Perth-based and operated charity organisation – has raised over $100,000 to benefit the kids of the Kalimati Slums of Kathmandu, Nepal.
There's nothing better than enjoying a drink inthe name of goodwill, hence much of these funds have been raised through an annual Kathmandu Kids Cocktail Party and Auction, which is on again Monday 2 September, 2013.
The venue is Perth's up-market roof top bar 'The Conservatory', above Carnegies at 356 Murray Street, complete with retractable roof that boasts one of the best views Perth City has to offer.
So where does the money go to? To school fees, transport, uniforms, books and stationary mainly –for 100 children for the entire year. Now that's progress! Part proceeds also go toward tuition, pre-school activities, and the running of a training centre that equips parents with employable skills – so Kathmandu Kids actually goes beyond supporting the impoverished Nepalese youth.
Check the website here for more information or view the YouTube invite here.
Kathmandu Kids Cocktail Party Information:
Standard ticket $50includes a drink on arrival and canapés throughout the night.VIP ticket $75 includes a special cocktail on arrival, canapés, dessert, a Nepalese gift, plus entry into a draw to win a unique work of Traditional Nepalese art. Remember, every cent we raise goes to the Kalimati Community & Jhapa Kids charity. For tickets, email email@example.com.

MIAMI — Two plays. Two tremendous hits. That`s what it took to convince coach Don Shula that Western Michigan inside linebacker John Offerdahl could make an immediate difference in the Dolphins` porous defense.
Fourth and one. The South had the ball in the first half of January`s Senior Bowl. Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson took the handoff. Just as he was about to leap, Offerdahl met him head on. No gain.
Fourth and goal from the 1-yard line a few minutes later. Jackson took the handoff again. This time he got off the ground. Offerdahl found him in midair. No gain. No doubt about it. Offerdahl was chosen the game`s defensive MVP.
``The kid took Jackson on with a vengeance,`` Shula said. ``I liked that.``
Liked it so much he made Offerdahl Miami`s first pick, the 52nd overall, in Tuesday`s NFL draft.
No debate was necessary. Shula and his coaching staff watched that Senior Bowl film one more time early Tuesday morning. They never thought Offerdahl (6 feet 2, 232 pounds) would be around when Miami`s number was called. Defensive coach Chuck Studley was so sure of that he put a pizza on it with Director of Player Personnel Chuck Connor. Extra cheese, please.
``Don told us to give up hoping (Offerdahl would be available),`` Studley said. ``When he was still there, it took us about 15 seconds to decide. We went around the table and everyone agreed.
``We needed somebody who is intelligent enough to make the defensive calls and handle the people up front. We needed an A.J. Duhe type of guy back on our defense. I think Offerdahl can be that guy.``
Strong words for the 52nd pick in a weak draft. But the Dolphins believe they got themselves a big-time steal.
Smart? Offerdahl is a pre-med major. Productive? He`s the leading tackler in Mid-American Conference history. Consistent? Only once in his four years did he fail to get at least 10 tackles in a game.

I wast thinking about what to write and came across "The New Classics" by Kelly Gallagher-Mack on the Nerdy Book Club site and thought it was such a great topic! Kelly is only a few years older than myself and many of the classics she read in school I did as well and some I loved and others you couldn't pay me enough to read again. I think that as soon as I learned how to read, you couldn't find me without a book in my hands. My parents (both physical education professors) told me often enough to, "Go outside and play!" Which for me, meant picking up my book and finding a cozy nook outside to continue my story.
I think one someone says classics it means those particular books that is notable in some way – the characters, setting, writing style, etc. that people continue to read as the years pass and remains popular.
I agree with all the new classics that Kelly listed and have a few more of my own that I would add to the list… she did only create a Top Ten list, so here it goes:
These are obviously only a few choices and I could probably go on for days picking new classics and books that have stuck with me long after I've closed their covers. So if you have any other ideas, please let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear from you!

Kolo Toure is having a night to forget for Liverpool at Craven Cottage. We've got the lowlights.
— George Sessions (@GeorgeSessions) February 12, 2014
This is hilarious @FourthOfficial_: Kolo is having a mare http://t.co/wlaGjO1Xji
Kolo Toure's nightmare night for Liverpool took a comedic twist with this referee collision at Craven Cottage.
"@OldTraffordReds: Toure's own goal for Liverpool great finish! https://t.co/X2otL9MsPn"— Jenna.MUFC.Rafael. (@jenn_bbygirl89) February 12, 2014
He had already put his side 1-0 down via a terrible own goal, slicing an effort past Simon Mignolet.
The Ivorian is coming fresh off another mistake a fortnight ago which cost his side a win over West Brom.
The defender, a free addition from Manchester City last summer, saw Daniel Sturridge draw his side level before half-time, and while he may get away with his early error, his referee collision will surely be a source of humour for days to come.

Ho ho ho! Greater Manassas City Christmas Parade finally came to town! This year's theme: All Aboard the Polar Express!
On Saturday, festivity and joy blessed Mathis Ave through Manassas for the 71st time. Non-profits, clubs, teams, businesses, churches and organizations came together to welcome the Christmas holiday season to smiling citizens who waved and cheered the floats and performances as they weaved through Old Town Manassas.
The entire town was covered in tinsel and garland, glitter and gold, evergreens and velvet bows. Marching bands shared their mastered beats, floats were decorated on all sides in Christmas trees, ornaments, fluffy snow and gifts. Without a doubt, Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause were the highlight of the parade that warmed the hearts of all citizens and made them believe. This is what CCN member and Christmas Parade participee, Stephanie Mora, had to say about her experience.
December 3rd, 2016 was the day I had been waiting for ever since I joined my dance studios competitive team. I had seen my sister have so much fun from years before that it just made me excited to think about it. The morning was a drag, I had to wake up at 6:30 am, and I'm not used to waking up that early during the weekend. That morning I had to get up and do my hair, my sisters makeup and my makeup on top of that. We had to get dressed and make sure we were warm underneath. When we found our float, we had time to drink hot chocolate and eat some breakfast. An hour or so before the parade, my dance studio started to warm up and run through dances. While we were practicing the dances, I looked over and saw my mom. She gave me the biggest smile-the kind that let me know she was proud of me. That was when it hit me, this was actually happening and I was nervous yet happy. Dancing through the parade was an exciting experience I'll never forget. A few days later we found out that we had won first place, which made the whole experience even better.

Learnings from Two Years of Kotlin
In case you missed it, Expedia got a call out in Google's Developer Keynote at Google I/O yesterday as well as on the Android Developers blog.
Google announced that Kotlin is now ready, mature, and fully supported as a first-class language for Android development, highlighting four major applications (including ours) already heavily invested in the new language.
The Expedia brand Android native app team has been using Kotlin in production for a couple of years, making Expedia one of the earlier adopters of Kotlin for Android development. Recently Kotlin has become all the rage in Android development; community adoption and support in all sorts of applications drove Google to promote it to first-class status.
Here at Expedia we've come to love Kotlin and can't imagine going back to pure Java. We are super excited to see what Google's first-class treatment brings to Android. In the spirit of sharing our learnings, here are some of the things that we have found along the way:
What we love
There are lots of reasons to love Kotlin, and there are lots of blog posts floating around the web that will happily proselytize to you. Here are some of the specific benefits that we have seen from adopting Kotlin:
- Seamless interoperation with Java allows us to slowly migrate to Kotlin without having to throw away all of our current, working code. After about 2 years our Android app is approaching an even split between Java and Kotlin code, according to our GitHub statistics:
- Converting to Kotlin has been fairly painless, thanks to functionality built into the Kotlin plugin for IntelliJ that automatically converts Java code to Kotlin. It detects code that is copy-pasted from Java to Kotlin, or can mass-convert entire classes.
- The explicit handling of null in Kotlin has helped us to dramatically reduce the number of dreaded NullPointerExceptions encountered by our users in the wild; a big part part of helping us drive our crash rate down to less than 1% of sessions. It's not perfect; null values can still be injected into Kotlin from Java with a bit of (perhaps unintentional) effort, but it is significantly better than the Java situation.
- Extension functions have allowed us to add functionality to platform classes, allowing for a more natural coding style and eliminating the need to create utility classes full of static methods to accomplish those tasks.
- Kotlin makes it easy to write less boilerplate and more concise code, so we can spend more time working on real functionality and finding and understanding the functionality becomes easier with less useless code stacked around it. The data class is an excellent example of this.
- Kotlin brings the power of lambdas and other Java 8 features, but still compiles to Java 6 compatible byte code which allows us to use it and continue to support older versions of the Android OS.
- The Kotlin functional programming style operators, especially for dealing with collections, fit nicely in with our existing use of RxJava, allowing more of our code to feel similar.
Growing Pains
Along the way life with Kotlin has not been all peaches-and-cream. Having adopted Kotlin quite early in its development, before it had even reached 1.0, we had to deal with several frustrations that have since been resolved. We had a few internal debates about whether Kotlin was worth it when we hit some of these issues, but fortunately, JetBrains came to the rescue and resolved our biggest frustrations by the time 1.0 was released:
- Incremental compilation was not available from the start, meaning that compile times got quite long as we added more and more Kotlin code.
- Originally the debugger had a hard time figuring out which lines were executing, and would not break or step into lambda functions.
Where it falls short
There are still a few places where Kotlin falls short of Java. Hopefully the announcement of Kotlin as a first-class language for Android development will mean that many of these get resolved soon:
- No support among static code analysis tools (e.g. Fortify, SonarQube, etc.) means we lose out on the types of automated feedback these tools provide.
- Jacoco coverage is not as perfect on Kotlin files as it is on Java files
- Android Lint tool does not support Kotlin
- The latest and greatest android dev tool features are sometimes not supported on Kotlin right away

Bats Europe launches buy-side access to new European equities block IOI platform
First Published 20th March 2017
Buy-side firms now have access to Bats LIS, powered by BIDS technology.
Mark Hemsley, Bats Europe
London - Bats Europe, the equities exchange operator, and BIDS Trading, the operator of a US based block trading alternative trading system, have announced the buy-side focused launch of Bats LIS (Large in Scale), a new block trading service for the European equity market, on Friday, 17 March 2017.
Bats LIS is a large in scale indication of interest (IOI) negotiation and execution platform that allows market participants to negotiate large blocks in European equities without revealing their intentions to the wider market. Bats LIS leverages BIDS' software, BIDS Trader, and buy-side channel distribution, combined with Bats' infrastructure for trade execution, clearing and settlement.
Buy-side firms now have access to Bats LIS via the BIDS Trader system that integrates with buy-side Order Management Systems (OMS) and Execution Management Systems (EMS). Buy-side traders utilising Bats LIS can do so in a manner in which they are accustomed to through their existing BIDS Trader GUI.
Mark Hemsley, CEO of Bats Europe, said: "Bats LIS provides buy-side firms with control over their IOIs up until execution, which helps to protect against information leakage, while maintaining their important relationships with their brokers. Additionally, Bats LIS is unique in that it brings together the block flow of both the buy-side and sell-side, which allows for greater crossing opportunities."

Kentucky has not fined the company that operates two prisons in the state for repeated contract violations, including the use of inmate labor, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal. Lawmakers responsible for overseeing state prisons, including those run by Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), said they were unaware of the violations and the lack of fines, conceding that they have not thoroughly reviewed inspection reports. One state legislator said lawmakers have overlooked the operations of private prisons because just two of the 14 prisons in the state that hold Kentucky inmates are privately run. Lisa Lamb, a spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Corrections, said the violations between 1999 and 2003 were "isolated incidents" that didn't reflect a systemic problem with the prisons' operations.
CCA plans a bid to operate a new $92 million, 961-bed prison in Elliott County. The state corrections department is investigating an inmate riot last month at the Lee prison, a medium-security prison run by CCA. Other states have imposed penalties on private prison operators. In North Carolina, the state withheld thousands of dollars from CCA for not establishing a jobs program at two medium-security prisons. After three years, North Carolina and CCA dissolved the contract.

Every Time Donald Trump Sniffed at the Debate
Many things happened at the first presidential debate Monday night. Hillary Clinton said "Woo, OK!" Donald Trump name-dropped Sidney Blumenthal, Rosie O'Donnell, and Sean Hannity—and definitely did not talk about Bill Clinton's infidelities. But unless you watched the festivities with the sound off like a total weirdo, it was hard to miss the defining noise of the night: Donald Trump's incessant sniffing.
Did Trump have a tiny Lego stuck up his nose? Is sniffing his nervous tick? Maybe he has pneumonia, hard to say. Anyway, enjoy this video, which is super pleasant and not at all disgusting.

Pet of the Week: Remy
Remy "Rhett" Butler Boyd, aka "Boo Boo" is a 2 1/2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier that we rescued from the East County Animal Shelter in Dublin, CA where my husband and I volunteer with Tri Valley Animal Rescue walking shelter dogs every Sunday (have done so for over 18 months).
Remy is a 'breed ambassador' – TVAR wanted to put him in foster care for a week (before he got neutered) and then would have gone off to a more permanent foster home while waiting for find his Forever Home. We've never fostered before but love pit bulls. TVAR asked if we'd take him for a week, we said yes and then couldn't give him up! He lives with our three cats and they're 'getting used' to each other. Two of the three cats are gray, like him. He's a very handsome boy, weighs 65 pounds and is up for anything – he even lets Jeff brush his teeth every day!
Favorite Toy: Kong with peanut butter, any bone he can (and does) bury
Favorite Activity: Playing frisbee, riding in the car, sitting on laps, cuddling in the bed
We would love to feature your pet as our next Pet of the Week! Just email a photo and a short blurb about your pet(s) to firstname.lastname@example.com

How To Build a Hen Coop
Hatching chicks is wonderful to do in the early summer. It only takes 21 days and then you should have a new family. But do build a hen coop first!
The design of your hen house will depend on the size of your garden and the number of hens you intend to have. It will also depend on whether you can make their run fox proof so that the hens will put themselves to bed or if you have to shut them in every night. The latter gives you a much easier life than the former, but it does require a fox proof fence (which should be sunk at least 20cm into the ground, with the wire turned outwards to snub a digging fox and the fence should not be too rigid to make it difficult to scale. Foxes hate climbing wobbly fences!).
This type of coop is primarily for a solitary hen that is either broody or unwell. A broody hen will happily sit on her eggs in the nesting box end and leave her nest only for food and water, which is what you want. The coop also provides a safe environment for chicks for their first six weeks.
Before you begin you need to decide how big to make your coop. The larger the better for the hen, but too large makes it cumbersome to move and store. Our coop is only 1.5m long.
- Begin by building three triangular frames the same size, one for either end and one for the nest box door inside the coop. The frames for either end will need a door fitted into the frame, made out of board or tongue and groove. The doors can be held in place with a baton at the top and bottom on the inside of the door to prevent it falling outwards and a latch on the outside of the door to keep it from falling inwards. The third frame that goes inside the coop should be part covered in board, leaving a hole large enough for a hen to fit through. We have a sliding door on this panel so we can keep the hen or chicks in the nesting box, which is held in place by grooved batons either side of the door. This can be raised and lowered from outside the coop by a piece of string that can be tied onto the wire.
- The three horizontal pieces for the triangular prism frame should be the most substantial, at least 1x1", and the top bar should extend 10cm further at either end to make a handle for moving the coop around the garden. Attach these one at a time to each of the 3 triangular frames.
- The nest box sides should be covered on all three sides with board or tongue and groove. The run should be covered with a chicken wire, but only on the top 2 sides. Some people also cover the base, but we find it much cleaner to leave the base open. That way when you move it around the lawn all the mess is left behind and easy to clear up. You may though need to peg it down though so that foxes or dogs cannot burrow underneath.
That should be it. Check there are no sharp bits from the wire or nails and then find yourself a broody hen and some fertile eggs. If you don't have a cockerel to fertilise the eggs, it is easy to buy hatching eggs online. They only start hatching once the hen starts sitting and then 21 days later you should be able to sit in your garden deckchair and watch them hatch.

Ramu nickel operation
You can pay by card or invoice
Report summary
Production commenced at the Ramu River nickel-cobalt mine in Q1 2012. The first shipment of mixed hydroxide product (MHP) into China occurred in November 2012. In April 2016 failure of one of Ramu's high pressure steam pipeline resulted in the tragic death of one employee and injury to two others. The Papuan Mineral Resources Authority ordered operations to be halted on the three HPAL lines pending a full investigation by a reputable third party company in order to establish the cause of the incident, and to make recommendations to prevent a future occurrence. Mining operations were also halted due to the processing plant being offline. Operations resumed at Ramu in early July 2016 after a three month suspension of activity.

9/26/2013 | Easy Steps to Better Tillage for Better Yields
Sunflower tillage experts offer preseason advice for proper tillage
DULUTH, Ga. (Sept. 26, 2013) No matter what your tillage goal is residue management, seedbed preparation or preparing for the next crop in a rotation a properly adjusted and properly used tillage implement will result in fewer trips to the field, better management of the quality and performance of the next crop, and hopefully lower potential erosion.
Tillage experts from Sunflower®(www.sunflowermfg.com), the industrys full-line provider of tillage and seeding implements, offer some advice for preparing and setting disc harrows before going to the field this fall. These tips apply regardless of the brand of disc harrow youre working with.
"The goal should be to achieve a consistent, level soil finish across the entire width of the machine, leaving no ridges or furrows," says Larry Kuster, senior product specialist with Sunflower, a brand of AGCO. "How a machine is set and how it is used really impact reaching this goal, and also determine how effective the machine will be at cutting crop residue, sizing it consistently, and then mixing it into soil to encourage breakdown over the winter." Kuster offers these tips plus easy-to-follow photos and detailed instructions from Sunflower demonstrating how to set a tillage machine.
Properly pair the tractor and tillage tool. Size does matter, so dont overpower the tool. A general rule is 8 to 10 HP per foot to pull a tandem disc harrow at 5 to 6 mph. While the design of some tillage tools allows faster ground speeds, going too fast is an easy way to create ridges and furrows. It also can cause tillage tools to bounce, producing an inconsistent tillage depth.
Adjusting the tongue to match drawbar height is important to keep the tillage tool level and moving smoothly through the field, optimizing fuel use and minimizing wear on parts such as the drawbar, level lift assembly and other components that can receive unneeded down pressure if the tool is operated either nose down or tail down. A straight line of draft to the tool is the goal.
Purge air from the hydraulic lines to ensure the wings stay level with the machines center section. With the implements hydraulics connected to the tractor, simply raise and lower the implement several times to allow the system to cycle fully. Because air is more easily compressed than oil, air in the hydraulic lines can allow the wings to sag.
"If the cylinder sags one-third inch, for example, that could allow the wing to drop approximately 1 inch," explains Kuster. "That is significant when the tillage depth youre working toward is only 5 or 6 inches."
Level the tool from side to side and from front to back to ensure it will work the soil at a consistent, even depth, without gouging or ridging. Keeping the tool level also helps optimize fuel efficiency, reduces wear on the implement, and allows the machine to handle crop residue with less bunching or plugging. Wings and center frames should operate at the same height from side to side. To check these, lower the tool to the ground, stopping the descent when the disc blades are close to the soil but not touching it. Use a tape to measure the distance from the bottom of the frame to the center of the pivot pin on the walking tandem or the top of the wheel spindle if a single or dual wheel is present. The measurements should be the same. Always check the center-section wheels left and right to ensure the integrity of the center lift assembly. Using this same method, set the wings at identical depths by measuring from the bottom of the frame to the top of the wheel spindle or pivot pin of the walking tandem (as shown). If the wheels on the wings are smaller than the main transport wheels, adjust your measurements accordingly.
"The great thing about this method is the operator can use it at the shop or in the field," says Kuster. "You dont need a level slab of cement."
Adjust the fore/aft level so the front and rear blades are of equal distance from the ground. This is a preliminary adjustment. Once in the field, confirm the fore/aft level after traveling several hundred feet with the tool lowered in the working position. Check the soil at the center rear of the tool where the soil is returned by the rear gangs. A tool that is level front to rear will produce a complete and level fill of the valley cut by the front gangs. If soil forms a valley, the rear of the tool needs to be lowered. If a ridge is present, the rear of the tool is too deep, and the tool should be adjusted to lower the front of the machine.
Set the tillage depth to your field conditions and the job at hand. A general rule of thumb for tillage depth of an implement such as a disc harrow is 25 percent of the blade diameter. Thus, a disc harrow with 24-inch blades should be set to till no more than 6 inches deep. Implements such as Sunflower disc harrows have a single-point depth control with a convenient hand crank that adjusts the depth in one-half-inch increments each time the handle is rotated one turn.
"When setting machine depth, be sure the machine carries some weight on the wheels, because the wheels are the base of all the tool adjustments previously made," explains Kuster. "When the tires dont have some soil contact, control of the implement is lost."
Follow these steps to achieve the maximum depth of a disc harrow: Operate the tool with the wheels fully retracted; yes, tires off the ground. Stop after working the soil for a few hundred feet and allowing the disc to achieve maximum depth. Lower the wheels until the tools frame begins to lift. At this point, release the valve stopping the ascent of the frame, and stop the tractor but leave the tool in the ground. Adjust the single-point depth-control crank until the striker plate contacts the hydraulic poppet valve. Raise the tool until the audible click of the poppet valve engages, which stops the oil flow. The implements maximum depth is now set, and control of the tool is retained.
Gauge wheels are especially important on flexible tillage tools to prevent front-wing corners from gouging. When set correctly, these wheels should move slightly side to side when kicked. A tape measure can be used to ensure the setting for both gauge wheels is consistent. The gauge wheel adjustment is the final step in the field adjustment process.
Operators manuals will have full details for specific settings on your machine. For more information about the full line of tillage tools from Sunflower, see your Sunflower equipment dealer or visit www.sunflowermfg.com.

On models where the dimensions of the frame members vary, measure from the bottom of the frame to the wheel pivot bolt. When measurements are consistent, the tool is level.

Raise the tool until the audible click of the poppet valve engages, which stops the oil flow. At this point, the implement's maximum depth is set.
|Gauge wheels are especially important on flexible tillage tools in sloping or uneven terrain to prevent front-wing corners from gouging. When set correctly, these wheels should move slightly side to side when kicked. Use a tape to measure between the adjustment bolts, and set both wheels the same. This is the final step in the field adjustment process.

Autumn Winter 16/17
Story about 7II
Chapter one - Beanie
Once upon a time, there were two girls who felt in love with knitting.
The story begins with a very cold winter, when they decided to give a little glimpse of warmth to each other. After a lot of thought they understood the best present would be the warm-hearted beanie with a pom-pom. Both started to knit a very special gift and they were doing it secretly from each other. One of them knitted orange beanie with white pom-pom on top and named it "Carrot Cake" and another girl made olive beanie and decorated it with semi-precious stones and named it "Green Tea".
Girls were very surprised and amazed when they unwrapped the gifts and realized that they came up with similar ideas for the present. Following, they decided to warm the girls around the world with their beanies.
Chapter two – Scarf & Poncho
The following winter turned out to be even colder than the last one. Beanies were not enough to get through the frostiest weather. Girls have produced scarves and ponchos that made their bodies not only warm but also playful with tassels, pom-poms and pearls. Inventor hearts warmed up when they saw girls around the world wearing their creations.
Chapter Three - Mittens
The next winter brought a lot of snowy days…
Girl One: - Hey, look out of the window.
Girl Two: - OH! It's magical. Let's get our 7II gear on and play in the snow.
Girl One: We should make the biggest snowman in the block.
Girl Two: Agree, but we don't have any mittens and our hands will freeze.
This was the day when mittens were added to 7II family.
Chapter Four – "Bag"
When winter went away and the spring was blooming knitting season seemed to be over, but not for the girls. They thought it would be great to make knitted bags for summer season, for those who love sun, beach and holidays. They worked on the idea of combining knit with Plexiglas and came up with unusual concept that allowed them to create different shapes for bags. The long never lasting coastlines inspired them, so they named their designs after famous beaches. Some of these bags were easily transformed for other seasons.
Chapter Five – Keychain
One of the girls was constantly looking for her keys and the other one was so thoughtful that she came up with the keychain idea. After that no keys were lost.
Chapter Six - "& others"
Unstoppable and imaginative mind helped girls to create as much original knitted accessories as possible. Other additions to 7II family were neckwarmers and turtleneck collars.
Lastly, the story is about friendship and what comes out of it.
This partnership was bonded by yarn and tested by time.

The Fiscal Plight of the US: Three Scenarios to Deal With America's Trillion-Dollar Deficit
Simple math tells us that the US is on an unsustainable path; the country cannot operate much longer at the trillion-dollar deficit level without dire consequences.
Simple math is often revealing. That is why what follows is so scary. It's about the debt of the US and the near impossibility to fix the federal budget almost no matter what steps are taken today. Unfortunately, even the difficult steps that must be taken, and that are being avoided by the political process, won't solve the basic issue.
Let's first look at the level of debt in the US. The table below shows the level of personal debt, and the level of local, state and federal debt, all per capita, as currently estimated (2011) and what it would look like in 2015 if the growth of debt over the past year were to continue at the same pace (source: USDebtClock.org).
Clearly, US households are attempting to lower their debt levels. And while it appears that state and local debt loads are still growing, public pressure, the balanced budget requirement in most states, a taxpayer revolt, and the inability to print money on the part of these entities will cause a significant slowdown in the growth of debt at these levels. Unfortunately, this is not the case at the federal level. As Stan Laurel often said to Oliver Hardy, "This is a fine mess you've gotten us into." The rest of this piece analyzes the "mess" that the federal government has put onto the American people.
US Federal Budget Trends
The table below shows the rates of, and rates of growth of federal spending for the year ending in mid-March for the various years shown (source: USDebtClock.org). For example, the spending levels and growth rates for 2004 are from mid-March 2003 to mid-March 2004. Using the latest actual data and growth rates (mid-March 2010 to mid-March 2011) the table projects what those spending levels would be in 2015. The growth rates are shown in Compounded Annual Growth Rate form (CAGR). Also shown are the levels of federal revenue collection, the implied deficits, and projected GDPs. Because this table is based on actual revenues and expense trends in mid-March of each year, the deficit shown for 2011, $1.33 trillion, is lower than the current projections of $1.6+ trillion due to the extension of the Bush tax cuts and the temporary lowering of the social security tax on wage earners. The 2004 deficit was actually $413 billion, higher than shown in the table, for the same reason, i.e., the table projects from mid-march 2004 based on the one year trend. The column labeled CBO is the Congressional Budget Offices' (CBO) 2015 projections. While these are generally discredited, they add context to the debate.
Looking at each line item, Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security are dependent on demographics. With the baby boomers now entering retirement, the growth rates shown are likely to get larger over the next few years. As is shown in the table, the CBO projects a growth rate of only 5.36% for Medicare/Medicaid. Given the seven-year growth rate from 2004 to 2011 of 8.88%, the CBO estimate most likely assumed that Congress would take some actions to reduce the growth. The growth rate in Social Security is higher under the CBO projections than the most recent growth rate observed and projected into 2015. Income Security is composed of the unemployment and other social safety net programs, is currently 12.3% of federal spending, and is projected to fall to 7.8%. As a benchmark, this item was 8.9% of the budget in 2004, so its 2015 projected level appears reasonable. The growth in Federal Pensions appears extremely high, but this is not surprising given the recent brouhaha over government employee unions, wages and benefits. Using the recent growth rates, the 2015 projections dwarf the CBO estimates. The growth of Defense appears about in line with the growth of GDP. Debt Interest is a wild card. Because the method employed by USDebtClock.org simply projects the growth over the past year into the future, there is the growth in the debt itself, but no assumption of any increase in interest rates. Thus, it is likely that the figure shown for 2015 is extremely low. Even the CBO projects debt interest cost at over $408 billion in 2015. There have been many blogs written on the potential explosive nature of future debt costs (see my article, What Happens to the Cost of Debt if Interest Rates Rise? from November 29, 2010).
The six categories discussed above have been "untouchable" by the last few editions of the US Congress (except to add to them as was done under President G.W. Bush -- prescription drugs) and represent 87% of Total Spending. The other 13% is termed "Discretionary," as the Congress can control this spending on an annual basis. You can see how well they have done that over the past year, as those expenditures have risen at an 18.5% rate. For the seven years from 2004 to 2011, the growth rate was 3.17%, a somewhat more acceptable level. The table also shows Revenues relative to Total Spending, and Revenues relative to GDP. Using 2004 as a benchmark, the Revenue/Total Spending ratio was about 81% (deficit of about $413 billion) and Revenue/GDP was 16.2%.
The Deficit Issue
The US cannot operate much longer at the trillion-dollar deficit level without dire consequences. Some of these include 1) rapidly rising interest rates as bondholders lose confidence in the fiscal integrity of the Treasury; 2) loss of world reserve currency status of the dollar; 3) likely rapid inflation as the Fed creates the fiat money that the government can no longer borrow from the US public or the world's investors at rates that keep the deficit from exploding even further.
So, what is it that can be done on this issue? I have developed three possible scenarios. In Scenario 1, by 2015 the Bush tax cuts have expired ($132.6 billion according to the Tax Foundation), and all additional discretionary spending has been reduced to 2011 levels. Given the current political stalemate, this scenario may seem optimistic. In addition, I have made the extremely optimistic assumption that the economy has turned around and has averaged a 5% compounded annual growth rate with a commensurate increase in federal revenues. (I assumed 12 million new jobs are created over the 4 years (250,000/month), and each job generated $14,500 in tax revenue via income and payroll taxes. Under this scenario, because of the explosive growth in Medicare/Medicaid and Federal Pensions along with normal growth in Defense, the deficit is still hovering at more than $1.4 trillion. In addition, the apparent unrealistically low costs of the Debt Interest remain.
While Scenario 1 itself seems somewhat optimistic, it is my intent to show the true depth of the fiscal issues. Scenario 2 takes the results of Scenario 1 and assumes that the Congress cuts the growth rate of Defense spending in half and somehow reduces the growth rate of federal pensions by 25%. But, just as in Scenario 1, the deficit remains stubbornly high near $1.35 trillion implying that $0.328 of every federal dollar expended is either borrowed or, more likely, printed.
In the final scenario, Scenario 3, all of the previous actions of the other scenarios are accomplished plus the Congress has successfully modified the growth rates of Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security by 25% and has found enough new revenue sources (new taxes) to bring the Revenue/GDP ratio back to 2004 levels (16.2%). To summarize all of the actions contained in Scenario 3:
- Discretionary spending is held to 2011 levels;
- The Bush tax cuts have expired adding $133 billion to government revenues;
- GDP grows at an astounding 5% CAGR from 2011 to 2015, 12 million new jobs are created, and tax revenues grow commensurately ($174 billion -- from new jobs and economic growth);
- The growth in Defense spending is cut in half;
- Federal Pension growth is reduced by 25%;
- Medicare/Medicaid growth rates are reduced by 25%;
- Social Security growth rate is reduced by 25%;
- New revenue sources add $112 billion to government coffers (in addition to the revenues from the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and 12 million new jobs).
You are probably shaking your head by now, as the above task list appears impossible to accomplish in the US's political environment. The point is that, even if all of these actions would come to pass, the deficit in 2015 is still $1.1 trillion! And the deficit I am talking about doesn't include a) a realistic cost of the debt and b) the off balance sheet borrowing needed and deficits created by FNMA and FHLMC nor the additional pressures in the borrowing markets from the FHLB system, the FHA, and the SBA.
The simple math tells us that we are on an unsustainable path. There appears to be no political will to even get to Scenario 1, much less all the way to Scenario 3. And what I have ignored throughout this analysis is what will happen to the interest cost of the debt should the US continue along its current irresponsible path. Easily, the debt costs could be $300-$500 billion higher than shown. Just add that to the deficits in the three scenarios.
In their groundbreaking book, This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, Reinhart and Rogoff show that, historically, once a country's debt exceeds 90% of its GDP, either default or a rapid inflation usually occur. The debt/GDP ratio in the US is now approaching 100%, and it is clear that the debt will continue to grow at much faster rates than the GDP. Investors would be foolish to believe that "this time is different"!
Lasting through April 15, 100% of the donations made to The Ruby Peck Foundation for Children's Education will be channeled to the children of Japan as they attempt to find their footing following this natural disaster; and to kick off this drive, we'll pledge $5000 to get it started. Please do what you can, as it will add up, and thanks.

My Samsung Galaxy Win
Last Sunday, when we roamed around the mall after church, I learned that the Samsung have promos for Galaxy Win. It is when you buy the Galaxy Win, you can add 500 pesos to get the Galaxy Star. My niece Moreen's birthday is fast approaching and since she doesn't have a new phone, this is the best gift I could ever give to her. I know Samsung is a lot better than the other phones, I mean she have phones before but it was easily damaged. I didn't have money when we went to the mall last Sunday so I just went back yesterday. I went with my youngest daughter since her exam was finish early.
Galaxy Win has only the Micro Sim so I have to buy yet two micro sims since this has dual sim in which I can insert 2 sim cards. The Micro Sim is not the regular sim cards, Smart is the only one I think has this, the rest we have to modify the size by cutting it out. Galaxy Win is also Android and it is a quadcore so this one is a bit faster, even faster than of my tablet.
