Hawaii volcano update: Lava eruption could happen' IMMINENTLY' - Kilauea still erupting
ACTIVITY at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano seems to have slowed but officials warned seismic activity could reactivate at any time causing a fresh eruption of molten lava.
Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island has been erupting since May 3, spewing huge volumes of lava, ash and gas into the atmosphere.
The landscape on Hawaii's biggest island has been forever changed by the devastating three-month tirade, displacing residents and destroying structures.
Finally, activity seemed to be slowing at the explosive volcano.
In their latest message, Hawaii Civil Defense has reiterated that activity at the summit of Kilauea has reduced, with few earthquakes.
This is a considerable decrease from what was hundreds of earthquakes a day occurring at the summit.
But lava flowing out of the volcano caused the structure to shift and numerous earthquakes to rock the island.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said: "The lava pond in fissure 8 cone is mostly crusted over.
"Fissure 8, along with other fissures, continues to release gas."
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been spewing lava for over three months
"Lava was reported oozing at several points along the Kapoho Bay and Ahalanui coastline creating a laze plume."
Hawaii Civil Defense also warned another eruption could be on the way.
The government agency warned: "Although a lull in activity continues, it is common for eruptions to go through periods of diminished output, or to pause completely, only to reactivate days or weeks later, or longer.
"Activity could occur at any time. Residents should remain informed and heed Hawaii County Civil Defense messages and warnings."
The volcano has caused the destruction of hundreds of homes and has created a dangerous environment along one coastline.
Lava has flowed from fissure 8 into a channel, moving toward the ocean and entering at Kapoho Bay.
This molten rock has caused huge toxic clouds known as laze to rise from the ocean.
Laze is made of steam, hydrochloric acid and fine glass particles and can cause respiratory issues if breathed in.
Despite the lack of activity, the following guidelines remain in effect according to the Hawaii Civil Defense:
Do not access the flow field due to extreme hazard. Lava eruption could resume at any time.
Motorists on Highway 11 between the 28 and 32-mile markers are advised to stay on the pavement, be alert for changes in road conditions, and drive with caution.
The plates on Highway 130 are stable. Motorists are reminded to slow down while travelling through the area.

Bastrop County Long Term Recovery Team
In 2017 Hurricane Harvey left a path of destruction across Bastrop County leaving many residents with flooded and wind damaged homes. A large percentage of these families had flooded for the 3rd or 4th time in the previous two years. In the last 12 months BCLTRT has been able to fund over $200,000.00 in repairs and replacement for Bastrop County families.
From October 2015 – October 2016, our organization housed over 50 families in hotels immediately following the Hidden Pines Fire and 2016 Memorial Day Flood. BCLTRT gave close to $20,000 in gift cards to families to use at local vendors to assist with clothing, food and baby supplies. In addition to assisting families with their immediate needs we funded nearly $300,000 for repairing and building homes in almost every city in Bastrop County.
Along with assisting families with repairs from Hurricane Harvey, our team is assisting neighborhoods with readiness plans. Education and preparation of neighborhoods and families is a primary goal for BCLTRT moving forward. The better we are prepared the less impact any future events will have on our county.
Bastrop County Long Term Recovery Team is dedicated to helping those who were uninsured or underinsured from natural and man-made disasters in Bastrop County such as the September 2011 wildfires, the Memorial weekend flood and tornado event, the Hidden Pines Fire and the two October floods. If you need help, please contact us and we'll walk you through the process of recovery.

As more of the nation's crude oil is transported by rail, federal authorities will face continuing pressure to ensure it's done safely, according to an expert in the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.
Rachel Meidl, fellow in energy and environment at the Baker Institute, outlined her insights in a new issue brief, "Is There a Correlation between Vapor Pressure and the Severity of Crude Oil Transportation Incidents?" Her brief examines federal and international efforts to assess the safety of transporting crude oil by rail and to specifically consider the roles of vapor pressure and volatility in accident scenarios.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has long considered regulatory and non-regulatory actions that would enhance the safety of transporting crude oil by rail. With crude-by-rail shipments projected to continue growing as pipeline projects face opposition and delays, PHMSA faces lingering pressure to act, Meidl said. That pressure has come from Congress, from petitions for rulemaking and from National Transportation Safety Board recommendations associated with those petitions, she said.
"Although crude oil has been transported by rail for years, there is a noticeable uptick in the Permian Basin and Bakken region as companies struggle to build pipeline infrastructure to meet production demands that are further delayed by legal challenges and public opposition," Meidl wrote. "Past high-profile accidents have raised concerns for PHMSA about the safety of rail transport of crude oil, including physical and chemical properties; adequacy of transport regulations; rail integrity; packaging; and conditioning and stabilization practices."
In response to some of these concerns, PHMSA published a rule that went into effect in July 2015. The Enhanced Tank Car Standards and Operational Controls for High-Hazard Flammable Trains (HHFT) was intended to improve the safe transportation of large quantities of flammable materials, particularly crude oil and ethanol, by rail. The HHFT rule and other congruous agency actions called for improved standards for both new and existing tank cars (retrofitting or new design specifications, such as thermal blankets and top-fittings), Meidl said. The PHMSA also called for a sampling and testing program, reduced operating speeds, information sharing with state emergency response commissions, enhanced braking, and comprehensive oil spill response plans, she said.
Not long after that, then-President Barack Obama signed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), which instructed DOT to mandate additional amendments to tank car design standards and to revise the tank car phase-out schedule codified in the HHFT rule, prioritizing crude oil and ethanol. Neither the HHFT rule nor the FAST Act directly addressed the role of volatility or vapor pressure thresholds of crude oil transported by rail, Meidl said.
"The concern with high vapor pressure is that it is indicative of a higher proportion of organic compounds of low molecular weight such as methane, ethane or propane, known as 'light ends,' as well as elevated levels of dissolved gases," Meidl wrote. "There are widely diverging opinions within DOT and industry regarding: the role vapor pressure and volatility play in a normal transportation incident, if elevated levels of dissolved gases increase the volatility of crude oil, and if high vapor pressure accentuates the severity of consequences of an incident. However, studies have not conclusively quantified the potential hazard associated with higher vapor pressure in crude oil transportation scenarios."
On Jan. 18, 2017, two days before President Donald Trump was inaugurated, PHMSA did publish an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking soliciting input on the volatility of petroleum products and flammable liquids and the possibility of establishing of a national vapor pressure threshold for these commodities on any mode of transport, Meidl said.
"Although PHMSA postponed immediate action on the proposed rulemaking to consider a vapor pressure cap (DOT's Fall 2018 Unified Agenda denotes "Next Action Undetermined"), domestic and international interest will likely continue to force the agency into action," Meidl wrote.
She concluded, "Appropriate classification is necessary to ensure proper packaging, operational controls and hazard communication, all of which are imperative to mitigate the negative effects of a train derailment or other hazardous materials incident. While more research is needed to determine the correlation of vapor pressure with the severity of consequences of crude oil transportation events, time should be allowed for the existing and unfolding crude oil safety plan to take root. In the meantime, as industry continues to research and integrate new methods and technologies to manage and upgrade the integrity of the nation's pipeline network, the efficacy and strong safety record of the pipeline transportation system should be underscored as a viable and safe means of transport for crude oil."
Meidl, who joined the Baker Institute in July, is a former deputy associate administrator of PHMSA. Prior to her role in federal government, Meidl was the director of regulatory and technical affairs at the American Chemistry Council in Washington, D.C., where she advanced a broad range of regulatory and policy issues that involved enforcement, compliance, investigations and litigation.

Hi Everyone~!
Just a quick Sunday Tip on how I conceal my under eye area!
Years back, when I was learning about makeup... I was taught the classic method of concealing. This method basically taught me to use a lighter shade to cover the darkness under my eyes in the rough half circle shape (on the right).
The issue with this method is that it create a REVERSE PANDA EYE and it actually doesn't look flattering!!!
So over the years, I learnt a new method that is called the "Triangle" (on the left).
Using a salmon based concealer or a shade that matches your skin tone, apply the concealer in a triangular shape under your eye. You may use a concealer brush to line out the triangle, fill in the area, and then blend the edges out to the outer under eye area and to the sides of your nose.
The photo of myself above is without makeup to show you how bad my dark circles & eye bags are.
With makeup and this method of concealing... the result is this!
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you!

Music making has been a topic of discussion today. Last night I went out to hear a friend's band play at a venue down the road. I have been reminded that this simple activity is rarely a part of the lives of most of the people with whom we work at The Salvation Army. Living on a fixed income with very few choices about expenditure is only part of the problem here - the gap between the lives of those most disadvantaged in our society and the average citizen is disconcerting. Recreation and leisure opportunities are just one example of this distinction.
An important principle of our services is to ensure that real options are created for people to enjoy music, art, cultural activities, sports and other recreation that they might not otherwise experience. This isn't just an optional extra. It's taking seriously Jesus' statement about coming so that we might know 'fullness of life' (John 10:10).

Unified Driver Surveyor
Unified Driver Surveyor (UDS) replaces the concept of "Quickdrive" and greatly expands upon the capabilities previously provided. In short, the system allows you to switch back and forward between Driver Mode and Editor (Surveyor) Mode instantly. When you switch mode, the User Interface changes and functionality changes accordingly.
Change Modes
When in Driver, click the Tools button on the menu bar, then select "Surveyor Mode" to change to editing mode. The User Interface will change to the traditional Surveyor tool tabs and the new Surveyor Menubar options along the top. (A warning will appear the first time, and this can be hidden for future mode switches).
You will also notice that items that show only in Surveyor will now be visible, such as trackmarks, spline points, direction arrows on trains etc.
When in Surveyor, click the Tools button on the menu bar, then deselect "Surveyor Mode" to change to Driver Mode. The User Interface will change to the traditional Driver Mode.
Changes to existing behaviour
- The Quickdrive option in the menu is removed. You can use "Create Session" to gain access to all of the Surveyor Tools prior to commencing your driving/operating session.
- The Quickdrive button in Surveyor is removed, and it's default keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-F2) is now mapped to the Surveyor Mode toggle .
- The Surveyor Mode toggle allows you to swap instantly from Driver to Surveyor and back again without any delay or loading screen.
- A game pause control has been added to Surveyor (in the Tools Menu).
- Switching modes does not pause the game automatically, so after switching from Driver to Surveyor your trains will keep moving.
- The "Edit Trains" option is removed from Tools menu in Driver (replaced by Surveyor Mode).
- Achievement progress is disabled if you activate Surveyor mode.
- Session Rules can now be manually reset after entering Driver (see below for more details).
- A number of Session Rules have been updated to correct flaws exposed by UDS, but many have not. See Session Rule Implementation for a programmers guide to correct Rule behaviour.
Saving Games, Sessions and Routes
The save options provided will be determined by which edits have been made.
- If no edits have been made, then "Save" will prompt to "Save Driver Session" and create a "Saved Game" (asset kind "savegame").
- A Save Game can be loaded from the View Sessions menu but cannot be edited directly.
- After you load your saved game into Driver, you can still switch to Surveyor and edit as before.
- If edits have been made, then wherever possible, saving will prompt to generate a savegame asset by default.
- If edits have been made which are not compatible with the savegame asset type, you will be prompted save the Route and/or Session as appropriate.
- Exit Driver will return you to the menu. If you want to return to Surveyor, simply change mode instead.
More to follow...
Resetting Rules
Rules are used to "program" what happens within a session. For example, a Cinematic Camera Rule will define which item the camera is attached to and the path and speed the camera will take when the rule is triggered.
In UDS, Rules can now be reset to their original state, so that the Rule can be re-run if required.
For example, if you've already hit a trigger required in a Trigger Check rule (and it shows as complete), but you adjust the session and now need to hit that trigger again, then you can manually reset the Trigger Check rule (in Edit Session) to make it active again.
Another example is adding new Driver Commands to the Driver Setup rule. If the status shows as "Complete was-complete" then the new instructions will not be executed. To fix this, right click on the rule (in Edit Session in Surveyor) then Reset. This will change the rule to Paused. Click the Tick to save your changes, then switch modes to Driver
Using Undo
Undo is found in the Edit menu in Surveyor. Alternatively use the hotkeys Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y.
Given that trains can be in motion in Surveyor, Undoing certain actions (such as laying track) will result in derailments. However, it should be possible to use Redo to re-lay the track and the train will also be replaced.
It is likely that edge cases can be found where Undo, Redo does not do everything as you expect, so use common sense when using this option.
Practical examples:
Adding or Replacing Rolling Stock
Switch to Surveyor mode, open the Trains Tab, select a loco or rolling stock and place on the track (or open the Consist tab to create or place a whole train).
NOTE: Beware of trains in motion (we do not recommend editing moving trains).
Adding or Replacing Track
The normal restrictions of not being able to move track that has a train on it still apply. TIP: Lay a short section of track nearby, move your train to the new track, make your edits, them move the train back again and delete your temporary track.
Adding or Replacing Trackside Objects
Adding or moving signals, trackmarks or triggesis now so much quicker and easier.
Adding or Replacing Scenery Objects or Splines
Driving along and notice something missing or out of place? Switch to Surveyor, add, move or replace the item(s) then switch back to Driver mode.
Changing/Editing Environment Settings
With UDS you now have full control over weather, sky, lighting, colour etc. Note that certain rules (such as the weather rule) may override your Surveyor settings when the Driver session starts (of if you reset all rules).
Changing/Editing Session Rules
It is important to note that editing rules that are marked with a status of complete will not be executed when you switch to Driver mode. See Resetting Rules above for more detail.

What Happens If Your Car Fails Its Emissions Test and What Should You Do About It?
A failed emissions test is one of the nightmares of any efficient driver. If your car is getting old, this is a risk you should be prepared for, and it can take some time before the problem is resolved. If you know what to do, however, you'll find that everything can be taken care of in good time.
So you just took your car to be tested. After it failed its emissions test, you got a detailed report about what's wrong, and were sent home to pool your resources and prepare to head to the nearest repair shop.
A failed emissions test means you don't get your license plates validated. This means you can't drive until you get your car repaired, get it tested again, and pass the test.
The report you get from the experts who tested your car should provide a detailed overview of what went wrong. After taking it to the vehicle repair shop along with your car, the mechanic should be able to give you a detailed estimate and take care of the repair work.
Once all that's done, you can go back and take the emissions test again. Make sure you don't procrastinate, since if you wait too long, you risk the license plates expiring before the repairs are completed.

Tuesday, February 13, 2018
President Donald J. Trump released his proposed infrastructure plan Monday (Feb. 12), including $200 billion the administration says will "spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments" by state and local governments and private parties over the next decade.
The plan relies largely on state, local and private investment, relying on federal funding to leverage more than six times as much new revenue from those sources. The proposal also looks to expedite project permitting, limit environmental reviews and increase workforce development.
$100M for State and Local Governments
According to guidance released by the White House and the proposal itself, headed to Congress for consideration, $100 billion would be set aside for an Infrastructure Incentives Program, providing grants to states and municipalities for specific projects. Each grant would comprise up to 20 percent of the project cost, with states expected to generate new revenue to cover the majority of the cost of the work.
President Trump's infrastructure plan includes $200 billion in federal funding that's meant to leverage $1.3 trillion in state and private investment.
The money would be distributed through the Department of Transportation, Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency, and would support projects addressing surface transportation, airports, passenger rail, ports and waterways, flood control, water supply, hydropower, water resources, drinking water facilities, wastewater facilities, stormwater facilities and brownfield and Superfund sites.
Grant proposals would be solicited from state and local governments every six months after the establishment of the program, and according to the plan, projects would be chosen largely on the basis of how the project will leverage new, non-Federal investment. Other criteria would include the dollar value of the project, evidence of improvements to efficiency in project delivery, plans to incorporate new and evolving technologies and evidence the project will spur economic and social returns on investment.
Any one state should not receive more than 10 percent of the funds available via the incentives program, according to the plan.
Other Expenditures
The proposed Rural Infrastructure Program would include $50 billion in federal investment, funds that would be distributed to state governors, who would decide how the money would be best used on infrastructure improvement. (Some funds would also be distributed to tribes and territories for their infrastructure, via the DOT.)
Another $20 billion would be allocated to the Transformative Projects Program, which would fund "bold and innovative projects" that may not attract private investment due to "technical and risk characteristics." Transformative Projects Program grants would be distributed via three tracks, for different phases of projects: demonstration (funds could cover up to 30 percent of total cost), project planning (up to 50 percent) and capital construction (up to 80 percent).
Infrastructure Incentives Program funds would be distributed through the Department of Transportation, Army Corps of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency.
A total of $20 billion would be allocated to expanding infrastructure financing, including $14 billion for the existing programs like the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) and Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA). TIFIA, under the plan, would be expanded to include airports and ports, in addition to surface transportation projects.
The remaining $6 billion would go to the expansion of Private Activity Bonds, money the administration says would "provide tools and mechanisms for market participants to invest in public infrastructure."
Another $10 billion would go to a new Federal Capital Revolving Fund, which the administration says would help with the purchase of federal real property in order to cut down on the long-term cost of leasing property. The administration says year-to-year spending limits sometimes mean a lease is authorized even if the overall cost would be lower if the property were purchased outright.
Regulatory Provisions
Other provisions of the plan include:
The proposal includes language establishing a "One Agency, One Decision" protocol for environmental reviews on federal projects, to streamline the process, a move previously discussed by the administration. The plan also calls on federal agencies to shorten the permitting process to expedite infrastructure projects.
Also in the interest of expediting project starts, the proposal calls for two pilot programs that would have the potential to replace the current environmental review. One, the performance-based pilot, would "experiment with using performance measures instead of an environmental review," allowing the project sponsor to commit to meeting performance objectives in lieu of undergoing the review process. The administration says this would "focus on good environmental outcomes rather than a lengthy environmental review process."
The other pilot would be a negotiated mitigation program, in which authorities would negotiate approaches such as offsets, avoidance of anticipated impacts and "in-lieu-fee dedicated to an advanced mitigation fund."
The plan also includes steps to increase federal support of workforce development programs, including expanding Pell grants and encouraging apprenticeship and career and technical education.
2019 Budget
The plan is part of Trump's proposed $4.4 billion federal budget for fiscal year 2019, a proposal that cuts the Department of Transportation's discretionary budget by 19 percent in comparison with the 2017 budget. In addition to spending increases for the infrastructure initiative, the budget proposal increases defense spending by $80 billion compared with 2017.
The plan does not specify where the money for the increased infrastructure investment will come from, other than to note that a new fund would allow fees from energy development on public land would help bankroll infrastructure development on public lands.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials reacted Monday to the release of the plan, saying it looks forward to working with the president and Congress on infrastructure investment, while stopping short of endorsing the plan as it stands.
AASHTO and The Associated General Contractors of America said in their statements reacting to the infrastructure plan that the Highway Trust Fund—underfunded and dependent on a gasoline tax that hasn't been raised in 25 years—must be shored up.
"State DOT leaders appreciate the president's ongoing interest in, and support for, increased federal investment in infrastructure," said Bud Wright, AASHTO executive director. "We hope the release of the Trump infrastructure plan can be a starting point for a robust conversation on how best to make the critical investments in surface transportation. AASHTO and its members stand ready to work with the administration and Congress to address the long-term viability of the Highway Trust Fund and to speed the federal review and permitting process."
In a statement, The Associated General Contractors of America called the plan "needed and thought-provoking" but said the organization "will seek changes to further improve upon the president's concept."
AGC chief executive officer Stephen E. Sandherr said the plan touches on the importance of increasing funding for infrastructure improvement and streamlining the environmental review process, but it also points to the need to address shortfalls in the Highway Trust Fund.
The Highway Trust Fund, which has faced funding crises in recent years, is based primarily on the federal gasoline tax, which has not been raised since 1993.
Just ahead of the Trump plan reveal, Democrats in Congress called for what they call "A Better Deal to Rebuild America," a $1 trillion federal investment.

About Us
The Plein Air Scene has been on the web for many years under the leadership of Sarah Beserra and it continues to be developed by plein air painter Robert Lewis. View Site Map for a list of our content or search by categories.
Our intention is to develop a comprehensive list of plein air competitions, organization, and other information for plein air artists, and to make this information easily searchable.
For more information about the publisher, Robert Lewis, visit the online portfolio of his plein air and studio work at www.robertlewisart.com.
The Plein Air Scene site and newsletter was originally published by Sarah Beserra. The following image shows the original visual style of thepleinairscene.com website:
The following is a quote by Sarah Beserra from her August 2000 statement on the original thepleinairscene.com website:
I started The Plein Air Scene * in December of 1997, at the request of a friend who had recently started collecting plein air paintings. She wanted to know where she could see the work of local painters. That one-page letter has grown into a 14-16 page publication with color inserts and a nation-wide mailing list which includes collectors, artists, museums, galleries and painting lovers. The Plein Air Scene magazine reports on all of the plein-air painting news in California, as well as some out-of-state goings on.
I had been a modest collector of plein air paintings over the years even before I knew exactly what they were. When the prices started skyrocketing during the 1980′s, I began collecting the works of more affordable contemporary regional painters and the rest, as they say is history. In addition to publishing the magazine and the Web site, I teach a course on California Impressionism and conduct studio tours in Northern California.

Languages play a critical role in the daily lives of people, not only as a tool for communication, education, social integration and development, but also as a repository for each person's unique identity, cultural history, traditions and memory. But despite their immense value, languages around the world continue to disappear at an alarming rate. With this in mind, the United Nations declared 2019 The Year of Indigenous Languages (IY2019) in order to raise awareness of them, not only to benefit the people who speak these languages, but also for others to appreciate the important contribution they make to our world's rich cultural diversity. To find out more check out their website here.
In order to celebrate and to acknowledge Indigenous Language events happening in libraries and archives across Canada, the Canadian Federation of Library Associations Indigenous Matters Committee (CFLA-FCAB IMC) is encouraging library and archives staff to submit their events and share resources on the UNESCO portal. This resource is meant as a guide on how these resources and events to the appropriate portal, as well as how to sign up for a UNESCO IYIL2019 Account.

Central Otago Pertussis Outbreak Over
Press Release – Southern District Health Board
1 December 2015
Central Otago Pertussis Outbreak Over
Public Health South has confirmed the recent outbreak of pertussis in the Central Otago District is now over.
Between the last week of July and the end of November this year, 117 cases were classified as pertussis. Most of these were in the Wanaka and Hawea region.
"The outbreak peaked in August, but continued through to the end of September with an ongoing increase in notifications," says Southern DHB Public Health Physician, Dr Naomi Gough.
"Over half of the notifications were children but Public Health South is not aware of anyone becoming seriously unwell. Nevertheless, pertussis should be taken seriously. Prior to immunisation, pertussis was a major cause of infant mortality."
Rates of pertussis returned to their normal background levels for Otago and Southland around early October and have remained there since. Pertussis is always circulating in the community, so cases to continue to be notified. However the significant transmission of pertussis that occurs during an outbreak has settled.
"We would like to thank the communities and general practices all around Otago and Southland for their proactive response to this outbreak, especially for the efforts of Wanaka and Hawea. Large numbers of people took the opportunity to get themselves vaccinated to protect infants and other people at high risk of serious illness, such as the immunocompromised and pregnant women.
"General practices consulted many people with symptoms and assisted in protecting the wider community by vaccinating many others. These efforts along with people staying away when unwell have certainly assisted in promptly containing this outbreak."
Dr Gough says immunity to pertussis is not lifelong and while this outbreak is now considered over, it is important to remain vigilant.
"Historically national outbreaks have occurred in four to five yearly cycles, which is thought to be linked to waning immunity across the population. Pertussis does circulate in the community and while adults who catch the disease may only have a mild illness, they can pass it on to others. For this reason it is recommended that all children keep up to date with their immunisations and adults who have regular contact with high risk people get boosters."

Gift your Child an Eco Toddler Bed: Top 5 Choices
What do you get a child who has everything? An eco toddler bed! If you have had children or know anyone that has them, then you will know that while children are small, they come with a lot of things, and buying your child the newest, comfiest, prettiest item becomes an obsession of sorts. In an era of eco toddler beds and natural made baby cribs, you would be laughed (or scowled) out of mother and daughter club for making your child sleep in the bottom drawer like in the good old days. To give mothers a helping hand we have a list of the top five eco toddler beds and cribs.
Argington - Petra Toddler Bed
From Argington, the little one can spend the night in their own Petra Toddler Bed. This item tops the chart because it is elegant, space-saving and adapted to your child's growth. The wood has been finished using sustainable Baltic birch, which is non toxic and ensures the toddler stays in good health. The Argington - Petra Toddler Bed is available for $300.
Sam Crib from MUU
The favorite is from the customizable range from MUU, in particular their tailored Sam Crib. While looking fabulous it is helping the environment by using recycled wood fiber medium density fiberboard (MDF). Along with being eco friendly, it is also friendly to your pocket as this item can be changed from crib to toddler bed as your child grows up. Your child will love it as their personality can be added to it through the Muu Panel (shown on the website as a helicopter). These eco toddler beds can be customized over the years, using anything from helicopters to action men to Ben 10. Sam Crib costs $1175.
Oeuf Toddler Bed
Coming in second is the Oeuf Toddler Bed for $570, perfect for when your big boy/girl does not want to sleep in a cot designed for babies, but you are not ready to risk your little one falling off the edge of the bed in the middle of the night. This bed has bars around the edge preventing your child falling as they sleep, yet it allows your child to get themselves up and out of bed should they need the toilet during the night. Ouef does their bit for the environment by fueling the factories with the wood that does not meet the high standards for their eco toddler beds.
Roh Crib
Costing $1590, the Roh Crib is very eco-friendly and is breaking the mold for cribs, making it perfect for your child's eco style bedroom. The company behind this innovation is Spot on Square. They have taken away the conventional bars leaving your toddler free to look through clear 100% recyclable acrylic and free of both BPA and Phthalate. While this crib is a little on the pricey side, it is much cheaper than sending them to college; … let us hope they stay this small forever.
Lullaboo Rocking Cradle
Last, but by no means least is the Lullaboo Rocking Cradle designed by Celery costs $510. Gone are the days of putting your newborn in a buggy and walking round the block until they drop off. Just place your child on their organic mattress swaddled in eco friendly bedding and rock them to sleep. This would make a perfect edition to any eco style bedroom as it is made out of bamboo and 100% recycled MDF, which is formaldehyde free and finished with low/zero VOC varnishes for your eco toddler beds.
With such fantastic options to choose, I am sure you won't look for a fancy decortaive bed which is not environment friendly.

There are a lot of elements that make a hydroponic system work. You may have heard of many of the most common ones -- like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. However, there is another chemical ingredient that's pretty helpful for hydroponics, even though in general, it has kind of a bad name.
Culturally, we kind of associate sulfur with bad things. It's associated with the devil -- you might remember the famous words of Hugo Chavez talking to international diplomats back in the George W. Bush era. It's also associated with bad wine, and a really nasty bad-egg smell.
But sulfur is important for plants. They need it to complement those other essential metals that help them produce healthy harvest. Here are some steps to understanding how to use sulfur in a hydro scenario.
Figure out how much to use
One of the first steps with sulfur is to figure out how prevalent this element should be in the nutrient mix. Experts recommend having sulfur levels at least as much or greater than the parts per million of magnesium in the system. That's not to say this will be the predominant chemical -- nitrogen is probably going to predominate. Some growers might use sulfur in the range of 10 to 100 ppm.
Evaluate nutrient mixes
Say you get a nutrient mix and it really smells like, well, something bad. You may have too much sulfur in there to really be optimal for plans. Again, stay with the parts per million range mentioned above, and ask retailers about how much sulfur a nutrient product contains.
Using odor blockers
Even in reasonable sulfur mixes, you might wind up really smelling the sulfur quite a bit. Luckily, there's a solution. Carbon filters and odor blockers are designed to fix all sorts of aroma issues with hydroponic gardening. These installations deal with the smells that come out of a grow space, so that the room around it doesn't get inundated with bad smells. Odor filters are effective on the natural smells of plants, the smells of different kinds of fertilizers, and yes, the smells of sulfur as well.
Learn how to recognize a sulfur deficiency
It's also going to help quite a bit to learn how to recognize a sulfur deficiency in your plants. When your plants don't have enough sulfur, you may notice yellowing leaves and problems starting in the veins of the leaf, especially with smaller leaves - you might see some curling and withering as well. Plant growth may be compromised. You might see some scorch marks at the edges of the leaf. When you see this kind of thing, take a careful look at the chemical composition of your nutrients to make sure everything's okay.
For more on every type of chemical that your plants use, keep checking the Dealzer website as we talk about the biggest issues for growers, and how you can put together the best type of system for you.

Earlier this week I shared my sweater pillow. I turned a $3.99 Goodwill sweater into a pillow to rival Pottery Barn's sweater pillow.
When I was at Goodwill, the same day, I spotted a hand knit, very thick, wool sweater. I didn't know how it would work, being so thick, but the price was right. I brought it home, washed it in some lavender detergent, and went through the same process for making my sweater into a pillow.
Here's the sweater.
And here's the pillow!
I'm in love! I love the texture, the neutral colors, and the warmth it adds to any room.
I really should have scoured every thrift store around before posting this. Mareen and Diane are probably at Goodwill right now!
Happy thrifting!
Check out these parties I like to link up to.

July 11, 2017 – Snyder to Abilene – 80 miles
Tuesday was a particularly special day for me because it was my birthday. Not only was I able to spend it with my team but also with the amazing people of Abilene. After a long tough ride on the rough back roads of Texas we arrived at Disabilities Resources Inc., for lunch. This friendship visit was an amazing experience! Everybody at the arrival treated us like the Beatles, greeting us with home made signs, high fives, USA chants, and explosive attitudes that gave us the energy to dance the afternoon away.
After our dance party we freshened up at Zion Lutheran Church and went off to dinner. We ate at Perrini Ranch, a famous local restaurant, where we enjoyed fried catfish that was prepared excellently. Washed it down with some sweet tea and finished it off with some homemade bread pudding. Special thanks to Wehmeyer family for the dinner and the city of Abilene for making my birthday an unforgettable day!

Leaving the Aderich area I drove along the L106 through Mützenich to Kalterherberg and then into the Ruitzhof enclave. I have had to divide this video into two because of the YouTube 10 minute time limit.
Part One (Hosted at You Tube Here):
Part Two (Hosted at YouTube here):
Unfortunately one feature of my camera that I had not realised about is the "drop protection" that turns it off when it thinks it is being dropped. Because it writes the video image directly to a hard drive, this is to protect the disk. When I started to drive over the rough track at the end of the Ruitzhof enclave, the bouncing made it think it was being dropped and so it turned itself off. Sadly I didn't notice this until a long time afterwards so there was no video of the return journey recorded.

Fanfare of Martian trumpets!
Electron's Blade launched in November 2019! The 4th book in the Zeke Hailey saga is available here .
So what's the new book about..?
Civil war breaks out on Mars. The Governor of Mars fights the Unpro and terrorist group the Martian State Brigade. As bombs explode and fatalities mount, there is one boy who can bring peace to the 'Little Pumpkin'. Zeke alone can solve the riddle of Electron's Blade. This ancient relic has the powers to save everyone. At least that's what the Governor says. Zeke must decide who to trust, as old foes return. With Pin-mei no longer his friend, and the school in chaos, will he chose the ultimate sacrifice?
"But why would you do that?"
"The day will dawn when you'll want me to unseal the Trap."
"Not in a month of Martian Sundays," Zeke said firmly.
"Things change."
The Devil swivelled a hundred and eighty degrees and took one step. A step that took it ten metres.
"Wait for me," Zeke cried, breaking into a trot. "Please, there's so much I want to ask you." The Devil soared another ten metres.
Oh, no you don't, Zeke thought and translocated. He reappeared beside the Devil.
"When will I see you again?"
The Devil gazed blindly at him. The face creased into a new expression. Sadness.
"You won't," it said. "You will die."

"Jeopardy!" is a classic TV game show. The rules are as follows: the game host states a sentence and the players respond with a question that matches the answer. For example, if the host were to say "This English King had six wives," the player could respond with, "Who is King Henry VIII?" Changing the questions to relate to the bride and groom would make this an entertaining game for a bridal shower. Being that this game is a classic TV game show, many will be familiar with the rules and excited to try the bridal shower version.
Think of categories to play in the game. Generally, there are six categories but more or less is perfectly fine. Categories can include personal topics about the bride, groom, the bride and groom's family and members of the wedding party. The topics can be more general, such as honeymoons, wedding planning, marriage issues, famous couples, wedding cakes starting a family, wedding history and more.
Write several statements and an appropriate answer in question form for each category. Whatever questions are chosen, make sure you research the correct answers. Statements can be something like, "The bride and groom do this every Friday night." Let's say the answer is ordering pizza and watching episodes of their favorite TV show, then an appropriate question form that the player would want to say is "What is ordering pizza and watching TV?"
Draw vertical lines on the large poster board with a marker to separate the number of chosen categories. Then, draw horizontal lines to indicate the prizes. Typically, there are five prizes in each category so that would mean the host would need 30 door prizes. The first row are the smallest prizes and they get bigger as they go down. You can modify this for more or less prizes depending on budgets and number of guests..
Write the names of the categories up top in the first horizontal row of boxes. Underneath each column, write the door prizes.
Decorate your "Jeopardy!" board with bridal decor.

This week's guest in the Vital MX Forum QNA is Blake Wharton. Blake spent several years in the pro ranks with the GEICO Honda and Rockstar Energy Suzuki squads, after a great amateur career. He's shown some musical skills over the years, and is now turning his attention to the writing side while exploring a variety of different events for Racer X. We ran into him this weekend at Glen Helen, where he was checking out the race while riding a TM two-stroke. He's definitely a guy who's been there and done that, on a variety of levels.
Just like always, bring your best questions, and he'll be peeking in here this week to answer them. Keep it respectful, and ask questions that you would like in a face-to-face meeting.

The Minister for Justice and Attorney General says there is already a National Action Plan against corruption in place, which now needs actioning.
The protection of whistle-blowers and the establishment of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) are two important aspects that need to be addressed.
The Deputy Prime Minister says the simple reality is that all corrupt conduct involves more than one person so if people are not afraid to be whistle-blowers then it will be a quicker and cheaper way to deal with corruption.
This was revealed by the Secretary for the Department of Justice and Attorney General during the TIPNG Annual Walk Against Corruption on Sunday.
Transparency International PNG holds annual Walk Against Corruption to raise funds for programs to address acts of corruption in the country.
The walk on June 9th raised K165,000 for the TIPNG operations, but TIPNG alone cannot eradicate the problem. It needs the whole community to fight this disease called corruption.
Transparency International PNG says to date, the ICAC bill has not been passed. It is still overdue for tabling in Parliament.
"The ICAC is intended to be an independent constitutional body that will have powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute cases of corruption in both the public and private sector, working alongside existing law enforcement agencies," said TIPNG Policy and Advocacy Manager, Yuambari Haihuie.
The committee will consider it and then report to the Parliament before there is any opportunity for debate on the proposed law.
The Organic Law will contain the full details of how the ICAC will operate.
ICAC will be headed by a commissioner and two deputy commissioners who shall be appointed through an appointments committee.
The composition of the appointments committee will be provided for in the new Organic Law.

Yeah… I know I just did a notes column earlier this week, but time crunches sometimes call for easier posts.
***Last month, I posted the first single off of Neko Case's upcoming album Middle Cyclone. The album still isn't due until March 3rd, but for a short time you can stream the whole thing from NPR's website. It's all part of NPR's All Songs Considered podcast and a new "Exclusive First Listen" series they're doing this year. Already, the site has streamed new releases from Andrew Bird, M. Ward, and the Animal Collective among others.
***Also, in case you aren't already subscribed to the All Songs Considered podcast… this is your invitation. Each week, host Bob Boilen highlights a wide range of new music from all genres and styles. Whether it's instrumental music from African kora player Toumani Diabate (now touring with Bela Fleck)… or the Brooklyn based pop of Bishop Allen (from this week's episode)… each show always sends me searching for something new.
Toumani Diabate: Kaounding Cissoko (Buy Album)
Bishop Allen: The Ancient Commonsense of Things (Buy Album)
***The line-up for the March edition of Tennessee Shines has been announced. The bill consists of Theresa Anderson, Scott Miller (the unofficial Godfather of this blog), Donna the Buffalo, and The Gourds. Odds are it will be one heck of a show March 25th at The Bijou Theatre. If you want to make the trip to Knoxville for the show, get your tickets now. These shows almost always sell out, and I have a feeling this one might go a little faster than some others have. If you can't go to the show, you can always listen live on WDVX.
***On a bit of a sad note… Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Steven Page has left the Barenaked Ladies. Both Page and the rest of the band say the split is amicable, but the announcement comes less than a year after Page was arrested in New York for cocaine possession. Given the band's goofy, clean-cut image it's still hard for me to wrap my head around the charges, and even harder to believe Page has left the band. Even thought I came to it a bit late, their 1992 debut album Gordon was one of my absolute favorites in college.
Here are the Barenaked Ladies, with Steven Page, at their goofy best.

Leeandra Norman is a Far North Queenslander with an inspiring weightloss and wellness story. She has transformed her family's life through a simple change in eating habits and routines.
What was your inspiration behind Love-Lee Cooking?
My son was the main stimulus to get me started on this cooking journey. I already had a passion for cooking and my son has special dietary requirements. I wanted to be able to make him yummy treats that were nutritious. Eventually people started asking me to make them some too. Also, through my own journey with food I found that it helped empower me. I found passion for having organic food as a healing medicine: nourishing the body, rather than poisoning it.
I had been overweight all my life. On my wedding day in 2001 I was 187kg and had tried everything to lose weight. When our family changed our diet for my son's needs we started eating whole foods with no preservatives, additives or processing. The weight I had struggled for years to lose just naturally came off without me even having to focus on it.
Moving to the Tablelands where there is an abundance of organic local food I felt further inspired to become a part of my local community of farmers.
Take us on your food journey, where did you start and how did it evolve?
I taught Home Economics as a teacher for 20 years but looking back, I didn't know very much about nutrition. I had no idea that many widely consumed foods in society are actually not good for us. When my son was diagnosed with autism his paediatrician suggested a link between diet and behaviour. My own research and experimentation with the effects of diet on behaviour then sparked a journey to better health and wellness for the whole family.
Now the food I cook is not just healthy but also locally grown, meaning that I am not just looking after my health but also the environment we live in and sustaining our local economy. I am passionate about being part of building a resilient community.
What are your beliefs when it comes to healthy nutrition?
80% of the time follow good wholefood nutrition and be vigilant. The other 20% will take care of itself. It is all about balance, stressing too much about what we eat isn't healthy either. Everything is about balance: work, food, play, I am still learning all the time!
How has this path changed your life?
This food journey changed my life completely. For me losing weight meant that I gained health, not just for myself but for my family as well. Gareth went from daily traumatic meltdowns to one every three months or even less. That alone is enough to make it all worthwhile. But this journey has changed everything for us.
We now live a totally organic life, with no chemicals in the house. Not in our food nor in our cleaning products or personal care products. In the end I was so inspired by our own evolution to health that I started a whole new career just so that I could share the joy of healthy food with others. I see my role as helping people to be aware of their diet and make positive changes. Food can heal you. Food is also a social sharing that brings people together and I love to see people using healthy whole food as part of their community.
What is the most important tip you can give others when cooking at home?
Use whole foods and keep it simple. It doesn't have to be a gourmet meal every night. My favourite food to eat is plain dahl – just onion, garlic, butter & dahl, divine! Also, learn one thing at a time. People can get overwhelmed by trying to do everything. Don't try to change too much at once, master one thing then move onto the next. Create new habits and routines as a part of your everyday life. Cooking should be joyful, not stressful!
Leeandra is the owner and founder of Love-Lee Cooking – a business with three specialties: Catering to specific dietary requirements – gluten free, vegan, dairy free, egg free, wheat free and chemical free; Cooking School Workshops and Retreats; and Products. All Leeandra's food and catering uses local, organic produce and activated seeds and nuts.

We take measures to safeguard your data and apply security standards and controls to prevent any unauthorised access to it.
There are occasions when we need to limit access to the record of a service user because of its sensitive nature. In these instances Gloucestershire Children's and Young Peoples Services will ensure that such cases are 'locked' and only accessed by those members of staff directly involved with the care of that service user.
- Examples of where this procedure should be used are as follows;
- Where the information could cause the breakdown of an adoption placement;

This procedure must be used in conjunction with:
- Access to personal client records protocol dated July 2012;
- Information sharing protocols;
- Locked Cases Procedure for Children's Helpdesk (see Appendix 2: Procedure for Children and Families Helpdesk).
3. Legal Context
Children Act 1989 and Children Act 2004 - Sets out the responsibility of Councils with social care responsibilities to ensure that all children are safeguarded.

4. Mandatory Procedures
4.1 Request to Lock a Case
The criteria outlined above sets out the circumstances when this procedure can be used. In such circumstances, and where workers or managers decide that the criteria is met to lock a file the following procedure must be adhered to in all circumstances.
- Officers must discuss the case and the circumstances with their line manager;
- Team managers must request permission from their Service Manager to lock the file (see form in Appendix 1: Template for Locking Cases). Information required in Appendix 1 includes the following:
- The person responsible for the security of the file and to who should be contacted should access be required by another member of staff or agency;
- Name of child and ID number;
- The reason why the case needs to be locked;
- The names of other staff members or whole team name who will need access to the files;
- Details of any individual or team who must have their access denied;
- When permission has been granted, the Team Manager must forward the approved Appendix 1: Template for Locking Cases to the ICT Service Application Support for action.
Unless specifically refused, the following teams will automatically be granted access to the locked record, System Support / JJ Team (asked for name) and the Emergency Duty Team (EDT).
There are a limited number of occasions, where the information displayed in the lock notification could imply a child / young person's physical location in the County or the referral reason based on the name / team within the notification message. If this is the case, the notification will be removed, and notes on who to contact held within the restricted area of the system. These instructions will explain to the ICT Service Application Support Team on who to contact. Examples include cases locked to the LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer) under the Allegation Management Procedure or adopted adults seeking birth records information.
4.2 Short Term Access (24 Hours) by Non-Allocated Staff
When a member of staff not allocated to a locked case requires short-term access, e.g. because of their specialist knowledge/role, investigation of a complaint, etc. they will contact the named manager or accountable member of staff named on the locked notification message to permit access, stating the reason for the request. The agreement to permit access must be forwarded to the ICT Service Application Support Team and the decision must be recorded as a case note in ICS.
It is the responsibility of non-allocated staff to contact the named team manager to confirm when access to the locked case is no longer required. The named manager will inform the ICT Service Application Support by e-mail.
4.3 Reviewing Locked Cases
All locked cases will be reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure that the circumstances for locking the case still exist.
The manager and the key worker must discuss whether a case needs to remain locked. Each manager must have access to a list of all their current locked cases. Once the decision is made to unlock a case, the Team Manager must send an e-mail to the Service Manager for authorisation. The permission being given by the Service Manager to unlock the case will be copied to the team manager and the ICT Service Application Support mailbox with the Person ID, with a request that the case be unlocked.
With respect to Serious Case Reviews, it will be necessary to keep the case "locked" until the outcome of the review is known and any criminal charges have been completed.
4.4 Closure of Locked Cases
When closing a case, the worker should discuss with the Team Manager whether it is necessary for the case to remain locked. If the decision is made to unlock the case prior to closure, the above procedure must be followed.
4.5 Locked Cases Report
Managers with locked case responsibility will run the locked cases report on a bi-monthly basis to check current locked access for all locked cases. These reports should be sent to the relevant service manager for scrutiny.
Twice yearly report on the status and numbers of locked cases will be prepared for OLT by the responsible Service Manager or Head of Service
5. Implementation
This policy takes effect immediately. All managers should ensure that staff are aware of this policy and its requirements. This should be undertaken as part of induction and supervision. If staff have any queries in relation to the policy, they should discuss this with their line manager in the first instance.
6. Monitoring and Review
This policy will be flagged for review twelve months after implementation.
Appendix 1: Template for Locking Cases
Click here to view Appendix 1: Template for Locking Cases.
Appendix 2: Procedure for Children and Families Helpdesk
Locked Cases
This process states what the Children & Families Helpdesk should do when they come across a locked case.
Contacts can be received by phone, e-mail, fax or letter, from many different sources. The Customer Service Officers (CSO's) will refer to ICS to record the information and pass it to the appropriate team. CSO's will not have any access to locked cases, even temporary access. This procedure defines what they do with the information and who needs to make a record of the contact.
When the CSO tries to access a locked case it will inform them that it is locked to a named person.
In all cases, the information will be collected and e-mailed to the owner of the locked case, copied to the appropriate R&A Team. It will include a statement that the case was locked.
If the case is a child protection issue, the information needs to be passed through to the appropriate person as soon as possible. The e-mail will be marked urgent and will be followed by a phone call to warn the team that there is an urgent case.
The CSO will not record anything on ICS (they are unable to as the case is locked) and the owner of the locked case (or the person that picks it up) will make the appropriate record on ICS.
Change of Address
If a contact is received showing a different address than that shown on ICS, CSO's will firstly attempt to clarify the address with the referrer. If the referrer believes that the address is correct or the CSO cannot verify the address with the referrer, then the following will happen:
- If the address is in the same area of the county, the CSO will not request a change of address but will highlight the different address within the Contact and then pass all information to the appropriate R&A Team;
- If the addresses are in different areas then:
- Open cases (and those closed within 13 weeks) are sent to the team that it is open to, the different address information will be recorded in the Contact;
- Closed (more than 13 weeks ago) or "new" child cases should be sent to the team indicated by the address included in the contact information.
If the R&A Team Manager decides that the case should have been allocated to a different R&A Team then they will need to liaise with each other to resolve this. No cases should be referred back to the Children & Families Helpdesk.
Under no circumstances will a CSO request a change of address; this will be the responsibility of the R&A Team once they have verified the change.
Recording Information
Calls where the child is named and the call is transferred to an R&A Team will not be recorded on ICS by the CSO. This is the responsibility of the R&A Team concerned. CSO's currently record this on the EDS form, going forward they will record this on the CRM.
