Continuing the discussion from SmartTiles Dashboard v5.7: Release March 2, 2016:
##We have posted an important Announcement regarding the release of SmartTiles v5.8…
We have be released SmartTiles v5.8 to Blue edition users this week. Here's an outline of the changes to expect. Questions are welcome, but stay tuned to this Topic for more details and updates.
SmartTiles v5.8 was updated to the Green ("published") edition on Tuesday June 21st, 2016.
(Below is a copy of most of the post from our website.)
SmartTiles now "Published": What is the "Blue edition"?
SmartTiles was officially "reviewed and published" by SmartThings in mid-April to prepare for the disablement of the shared OAuth install method.
SmartTiles does not appear in the App "Marketplace" yet, but can be installed using SmartTiles.click/install
Users who installed prior to publication are actually still running against the shared OAuth edition/stream. We changed the icon and added a "-Blue" suffix to the version number. Blue edition users will receive new versions (like this v5.8) up to 3 weeks ahead of other users. More details in this Post.
Command calls all verified against device Tiles' Capabilities.
- In response to one of the concerns reported by security researchers, we made sure that only REST Endpoint calls (commands) which match the authorized Tile Capability type (e.g. lock/unlock, but not lock PIN code update…) are accepted by the SmartTiles SmartApp. In fact, only the Music Player Tile did not already have explicit command validation.
###WeatherStation Tile scheduled refresh re-enabled.
- Since the SmartThings Scheduler has been stabilized, we have re-enabled periodic refreshes of the SmartWeatherStation Tile. Users had reported that the Tile often showed stale information.
Addition of a Tools Tile for links to special functions.
- It is no longer necessary to manually modify your dashboard URL with "css" or "list" to get web browser access to the Customize CSS and** Arrange Tiles (Tile Order)** functions. We have added a new Tools "…" Tile that will pop-up a menu of these functions and more. It looks like this:
Password login sessions: Phasing out use of Access Tokens.
Use of the
access_token=parameter in the URL for SmartTiles dashboards has always been a great convenience that comes with a bit of security compromise.
We emphasize that users should not use or bookmark a tokenized URL on insecure devices. While folks avoid sending passwords in email, it is nearly as important to avoid sending tokenized URLs. We also remind users that they can invoke the "Revoke Access Token" function from the dashboard configuration
Preferences / Securitypage in the SmartThings App at anytime, and users can also choose to leave off the access_token from their URLs to force require an SmartThings login.
Out of an abundance of caution, particularly due to the recent extra attention and response to SmartThings security researchers, we decided it is best to completely phase out the ability to use OAuth access tokens with SmartTiles. Existing tokens will be automatically invalidated (revoked) within as little as a few days after the release of v5.8. We have worked closely with SmartThings (thanks, @slagle @jody.albritton!) to come up with the most practical alternative way to authenticate dashboard access. Our options were limited by the SmartThings platform and the design of SmartTiles V5.
Instead of the
access_tokenbased URL, dashboards will be given a new format of URL that will automatically redirect through a SmartThings IDE Login webpage. Any userid (email) + password linked to the same Account as your Dashboard will be valid – i.e., any login that is valid for the SmartThings native mobile App.
The unfortunate consequence of the elimination of access_token support is that you will no longer be able to share a dashboard without also creating or sharing a "Managed Account User"; i.e., an email and password. You may consider using a password manager (such as those built into your browser or an add-on like LastPass) to help make this a little less inconvenient.
The login session will remain active: (a) until you Logout (using the Tools Tile shown above), (b) until the browser exits, or © until the session times-out due to inactivity. We have no control over the longevity of login sessions and apologize for the burden this may impose. (SmartTiles V6 will have an independent external login mechanism with configurable extended login durations and secure login cookies, etc… We're excited to provide these convenient features - and much, much more - in a few months!)
Please note that the login session for a SmartTiles Dashboard will have full IDE/API access (i.e., full "logged-in" permission to access everything under http://graph.api.smartthings.com or your equivalent shard. This is an ironic increase in permissions that we have made SmartThings (@slagle @dlieberman) aware of. Granular security by individual users on an Account is a long outstanding feature that we hope comes to SmartThings soon; in the meantime, we have built this function into SmartTiles V6.
Users will have to update their URLs, bookmarks, home screen and/or desktop shortcuts accordingly. The URL for the SmartTiles Launcher with parameters for your Dashboard will be provided in the usual way from within the
View Dashboard and URLpage in the SmartTiles SmartApp configuration and on the new Tools Tile as shown above.
The SmartTiles Launcher URL will look similar to this. This will be the new page that you bookmark, pin, or share…
@625alex and I thank-you for your continued support and love of SmartTiles!!!

Welcome to the Smarter Living newsletter. The editor, Tim Herrera, emails readers with tips and advice for living a better, more fulfilling life. Sign up here to get it in your inbox.
When was the last time you just sat around and played? You know, turned your phone on Do Not Disturb mode and goofed around for an hour or two like when you were a kid?
If you can't remember, it's time to relive the old days.
Researchers have found that playtime for grown-ups can increase productivity at work, serve as a therapeutic outlet and enhance your overall well-being. Further, playing can even counteract the effects of stress, decreasing inflammation and possibly improving vascular health.
Though it sounds kind of silly, all play really means is engaging in an activity you find pleasure in, something that is deliberately unserious that allows you to disengage from the stress of real life for a while.
So in collaboration with Wirecutter, a New York Times company that reviews and recommends products, here are five cheap(ish) things to help bring a little fun back into your leisure time.
Slime-making kit
Slime! What could be more fun than playing with slime?
With the Cra-Z-Art Nickelodeon Slime Super Slimy, Wirecutter's top pick, you can make four big batches of the gooey stuff, whether that's clear slime, opaque slime or even slime that smells like cotton candy. (?!)
Drawing tablet
If art is your hobby of choice, Wirecutter's top drawing tablet for beginners is the Wacom Intuos Draw. It works on Windows and macOS with most popular art programs, and Wirecutter's reviewers found that of any tablet under $100, the Wacom offers the most precision and control.
MIDI keyboard
Keep your creative juices flowing with a MIDI keyboard — a compact, easy way to create music with your computer — like the Arturia MiniLab MkII, Wirecutter's top pick for beginners.
An old employer of mine would have a yearly raffle to get rid of all the items that were sent to us unsolicited over the past 12 months (with the proceeds going to charity, of course). One year I won a tiny, softball-size drone, the type of thing you'd buy for your 9-year-old niece or nephew, but a highly coveted prize at the raffle.
After I collected my prize, my co-workers and I gleefully raced back to our corner of the newsroom to test it out. I ripped through the packaging and charged the motor for a few minutes, then prepared for takeoff.
It was my very first drone flight, and just as expected, I crashed it into chairs, desks and the floor. An unsuccessful, turbulent ride, forever burned into my memory because as I was crashing my new toy around the offices of The Washington Post, the managing editor just happened to be passing by my section and caught the entire ordeal. He surveyed the scene of my disastrous flight path, let out a deep sigh, then looked me square in the eyes and said: "No."
Anyway, drones are really fun, and Wirecutter's favorite drone for beginners is the Parrot Swing.
(For the record, he has a great sense of humor and was joking around, but … yeah.)

This recipe was delicious. I did not have all of the ingredients available, so I used what I did have-cayenne pepper for the red pepper flakes, a 3-cheese blend with Romano cheese, 1 Tbsp. sweet and smoky grilling seasoning, divided along with 1 cup part-skim Mozzarella cheese, divided to equal the smoked Mozzarella cheese. I'd used a total of 1 lb. baby bella mushrooms, pre-sliced. Drippings had been increased for cooking mushrooms. delowenstein, Volunteer Field Editor
Sep 19, 2017
This recipe is deliciously decadent with a savory sausage and mushroom filling and plenty of cheesy sauce! I used whole wheat noodles and, not wanting to save the remaining 3 noodles in the box, I used 4 noodles per layer. I finished the sauce by adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to boost the "smoky" taste in the finished dish. I used hot Italian bulk sausage so I omitted the crushed red pepper, and, knowing the sausage and added cheese would be salty, I left out the salt. I made the lasagna a day before so it would set up. I cut up the lasagna into portions and shared with friends and family since there are only two of us. (Of course, I saved more for another meal!) Served it with a cold, crunchy cauliflower, red cabbage veggie salad which was a perfect accompaniment to the creamy, spicy, cheesy lasagna. One slight drawback, it is a little greasy with the cooked (and drained) sausage, butter in the sauce, and oil in the cheese. I would make this again but would use lean ground beef (spiced up) and would experiment with making a lighter cheese sauce.

The domestic LNG business, which has not been able to take off due to unaffordable price of imported gas, seems set for a revival as suppliers have begun to agree to renegotiate long-term contract prices, and smaller production units are now likely to switch to clean fuel.
The domestic LNG business, which has not been able to take off due to unaffordable price of imported gas, seems set for a revival as suppliers have begun to agree to renegotiate long-term contract prices, and smaller production units — apart from large consumers such as fertilisers, power and city gas distribution (CGD) — are now likely to switch to clean fuel. Experts believe that suppliers are now ready to accept the changed market conditions. "Earlier, long-term contracts were stiff but now the market is becoming deeper for the price-sensitive natural gas," said B Ashok, former chairman of Indian Oil Corporation. He added that natural gas has utility in various industries and consumers will now have the confidence to invest in infrastructure to use gas as fuel. "With prices expected to remain range-bound, I think they (consumers) will invest to move to gas," he added.
After successfully renegotiating LNG prices with Qatar's RasGas almost two years ago for a 25-year contract, India's Petronet LNG has now cut a similar deal with ExxonMobil which supplies LNG from Australia under a 20-year contract. While the deal with RasGas was signed in 1999 for 7.5 million tonne per annum (mtpa) and supply started in 2004, the deal with ExxonMobil was signed in 2009 for 1.4 mtpa and supply started in 2016.
Petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday tweeted: "India has, yet again, been able to address the long-term price issue of LNG from Gorgon to suit Indian market." Without elaborating on the specifics of the deal, he also tweeted: "Indian consumers will receive LNG volumes at amicable price soon; this is done in a similar way to what we had done with LNG from Qatar."
Petronet LNG had renegotiated prices to half with RasGas and agreed to buy an additional 1 mtpa of LNG apart from the initially agreed 7.5 mtpa.
A report from Kotak Institutional Securities released on Monday noted, "Our calculations suggest that such a change in formula will result in more than $1 a million BTU reduction in landed price of Gorgon LNG (ExxonMobil) for off-takers at prevailing crude prices."
Experts believe that such renegotiations are now happening because of the change in market dynamics. "It is an oversupplied LNG market and countries such as India and China where there is robust demand for energy are able to drive a good bargain with suppliers.
All three top LNG exporting countries — Qatar, Australia and the US — are vying for limited long-term contract opportunities as consumers are
preferring to take advantage of the softer spot prices," said Debasish Mishra, partner, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India. He, too, expects gas prices to remain range-bound.
While gas obtained from difficult fields is available at $5.56 per mmbtu in India, spot regasified LNG (RLNG) spot price is around $7-8 per mmbtu compared with domestic gas price of $2.48 mmbtu at present. While imported gas can be priced and marketed without government intervention, domestic gas prices are regulated.
As per a report by Care Ratings, fertilisers, power, and city gas distribution are leaders in consuming natural gas. "Out of the total consumption in FY15-16 (provisional), 56% has been consumed as a fuel, whereas rest 44% is used as a feedstock," said the report.
However, a decline in gas production from 46.04 BCM in FY11 to 24.99 BCM in FY17 shows that most of India's need depends on imports which are costly for many industries including power.
The new developments will help India in achieving its target to increase the use of gas in the energy mix to 15% from the current 6.5%.
Experts believe that the price at which consumers will get natural gas will depend not only on the DES price of LNG, but also on the competitive intensity across regasification and pipeline assets in a given market. "We have to see the landed cost in conjunction with the margin build-up across regas facilities, network assets, marketing entities as well as the prevalent taxes," said Kaustav Mukherjee, senior partner, Boston Consulting Group.

New York Facial Plastic Surgery
If you're unhappy with some aspect of your face, you'll be relieved to know that a lot of other people have the same feeling. Not long ago, a Psychology Today survey found that 60 million Americans do not like their noses. Thirty million do not like their chins. Six million do not like their eyes. And six million do not like their ears.
Every year, two million of these people have plastic surgery to improve their appearance. And it has very little to do with vanity. It's simply like any other physical problem people may have and wish to correct. Like bad eyesight. Or poor hearing. Or crooked teeth.
Rhinoplasty patients in Manhattan, NYC can revise a nose that's too big or too small. People choosing a face lift can turn back the clok on facial aging and look fantastic for their age. And procedures like chin augmentation and otoplasty can address other facial features that may make a person feel self-conscious.
Fortunately, New York facial plastic surgery can improve many of these situations — some of them permanently. And, if you have a problem that makes you self-conscious or unhappy, it's great to know that you can do something about it.
Can you imagine someone walking around half-blind because glasses are "unnatural"? Have you ever heard someone boast that their crooked teeth "give them character"? Or that their hearing problem is "part of their personality"? Of course not, and as plastic surgery has grown in popularity, it has become as accepted as eyeglasses and contact lenses, dental braces and hearing aids. And it is just as useful.
In addition to correcting problems we may be born with, plastic surgery procedures like a face lift in New York can also help with conditions that develop as we age. They can be inherited, or due to damage or abuse.
For A Moment, Consider Everything Your Face Is Subjected To
The Damage Is Easy To See
But There's A Lot You Can Do About It
Virtually every problem can be addressed by Dr. Erlich in New York and Connecticut.
If you are interested in learning more about facial cosmetic surgery in New York, Dr. Erlich at Profiles & Contours invite you to click to request a consultation or call 212.861.4100 to schedule an appointment at our New York or Connecticut cosmetic surgery offices.

Every year, thousands of people die in crashes that involve distracted driving, and teens are the largest age group reported as distracted during fatal crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To help prevent some of these devastating crashes, it is important for parents to work with their teens to help prevent distracted driving.
Explain the risks
Talk with your teen about the safety and legal risks associated with distracted driving. According to the most recent data, distracted driving contributed to crashes that killed 3,450 people in 2016 and injured 391,000 people in 2015. If your teen drives while distracted, that behavior puts your teen's safety at risk, while also risking the safety of others in the vehicle and even others who are on the roadway.
Distracted driving is also a legal risk. In North Dakota, texting while driving is illegal for any driver, and could result in a $100 fine. A driver who commits a traffic violation because of a distraction can also receive a $100 citation. Additionally, the law prohibits drivers who are under 18 years old from using any type of electronic communication device while driving. Breaking this law can result in a $20 fine and possibly points on your teens driving record.
Suggest responsible alternatives
When you talk with your teen about distracted driving, it is important to make sure he or she knows that distracted driving can involve actions other than cell phone use. Anything that takes a driver's eyes off the road, hands off the wheel or mind off driving is a distraction. This includes texting and talking on the phone, but it can also include changing the music, interacting with passengers, eating, putting on makeup, managing a GPS or daydreaming.
As a parent, you can help your teen avoid the temptation to engage in distracting behaviors by suggesting possible alternatives. You might suggest your teen develop a routine for every time he or she gets into the car. This routine can include setting temperature controls and music, finding sunglasses and securing a cellphone out of reach before your teen begins driving. It may also include sending a quick text message to friends noting that he or she will not be able to respond to messages for a while.
Set a good example
You may also be able to encourage your teen to practice safe driving habits by asking every family member to take a pledge, committing to diving distraction-free. As a parent, you can have a powerful influence on your children when you lead by example. It proves to your children that you believe distracted driving is risky and should be avoided.
Encourage advocacy
The opinions of friends are often important to teens. With this in mind, encourage your teen to speak up when he or she sees a friend driving distracted. If your teen is a passenger in a vehicle driven by a distracted driver, your teen could also offer to manage the distracting task for the driver. For example, your teen could offer to read or send a text message on behalf of the driver, or your teen could find a better radio station, so the driver can focus on driving.
If your teen is injured in an accident caused by a driver who was distracted or otherwise negligent, litigation may be an appropriate action. You may be able to receive compensation for your teen's medical expenses or other costs associated with the injury.

I guess I am not going to be couch surfing this trip, beyond one night with my lovely Madison friends, who have said it's fine to stay on their couch, even if I have birds with me. Otherwise, I'm hotelling it. And driving very carefully. And not getting out of the car for very long at a stretch. … The trip will be tougher on me, but having the birds with me will also be somewhat therapeutic. Who can get lonely with near-constant chirping, right? :)
As far as the car goes, there is apparently a long line at the finance office at the Subaru dealer, but I'm really, really crossing my fingers that that'll work out. I trust Grover to carry me, more or less; I don't trust Grover to carry me and my three birds.

The Orange Tree, Thornham, Norfolk
Hi again my doggie friends,
Now this is a proper dog friendly venue! Not only do they have 6 rooms where we can stay with our humans BUT in the bar they have a menu just for us! Take a look at the photo of me being shown the menu! I have been here twice now and the first time was given a bone almost as big as my head. Yum! Wanted to try the sausage roll last time but they had sold out – they are SO popular. Still we will be back again, hopefully to stop over next time (the rooms look lovely – very 'chic' Hum says) and I can work my way through the whole menu 🙂 Everyone we met was so kind to us and I got lots of cuddles; met other friendly dogs and didn't want to leave.
A definite 5 paw prints 🙂

We run a pre school transition programme called "Little Acorns" which has been designed specifically for transitioning pre-enrolled children turning 5 into the school setting. Parents are invited to bring their child to attend this programme before starting school.
There are usually 3 sessions and they will be held on Wednesday morning from 9.00 am until 10.00 am
"Little Acorns" is an opportunity for parents and children to become familiar with school expectations and for your child to get used to the school environment and systems. During these sessions your child will use school literacy and numeracy equipment and we aim to make the time together fun as well as informative.

These are what we consider the four best mattresses that cost less than $300 after-discount. For this post, we're referring to the full size mattress, though, we even have a bed that's under $300 for a queen size. And, since we know you're looking for it, we made sure to include a memory foam bed.
Typically, we use the queen size as our baseline for judging prices, but for this post we felt that the full size was more appropriate. As such, all of these beds sell for under $300 after applying a coupon code or discount. Now that you're up to speed, here's our hand-selected list of the best beds under $300:
Even so, we selected beds that we think people will actually enjoy sleeping on. They aren't luxury mattresses nor do they have any fancy features, but they are good beds, for the money.
It seems like, in particular, people want memory foam beds that retail for under $300. To be frank, there are a lot of options out there, but only a few that are actually worth your consideration—and they're on this list. You're not going to get the same feel as if you bought a TempurPedic mattress, but you will be able to tell that you're sleeping on a memory foam bed and we suspect that most people will be just fine.

|For what you're getting, Allswell is one of the best values out there. This is a durable and comfortable mattress at a stunningly low price. After discount, the full size mattress is safely under $300.
Memory Foam Mattress
|See on Amazon
|This is a 10" memory foam bed that's available in multiple firmness levels, including a plush option. If you're looking for an inexpensive memory foam mattress that retails for under $300, Lucid is a smart selection.

|Tuft & Needle Nod is a foam bed in a box mattress with a generic soft-foam feel. For a mattress that costs under $300, it's really comfortable and nice.

So you've seen most of the bed in a box mattresses on the market and you really aren't interested in temperature control, hypoallergenic materials, or any of the additional features of a luxury mattress for that matter.
The biggest requirement you have for your mattress is that it's a comfortable place to rest your head. For whatever reason, whether you're on a budget or have certain life circumstances that compels you to seek out a cheaper option, the most money you're looking to spend is $300. That's okay!
We understand that not everybody needs or even wants to spend extra money on a mattress. There are still options for you out there that won't break your bank. Many bed-in-a-box brands can offer an affordable/cheap mattress without sacrificing too much of the quality factor. Regardless of your budget, getting a good night's sleep is still important and we want you to enjoy your mattress as much as you want to enjoy more money in your bank account.

Why we like the Allswell mattress so much — Pound for pound, we're not sure that you can find a better value than the Allswell mattress. The bed is made in the USA, has a pocketed coil support system, and is able to handle a variety of sleepers. If you're concerned with price, but you still want a very nice mattress (i.e. it should cost more), Allswell is the bed for you.
Overall Feel — The top layers of the bed are memory foam, but you don't get that true sink-in feeling. It's actually fairly responsive and easy to rotate positions on the bed because it has the coil support system. The bed is on the firmer end of the spectrum (about a medium to medium-firm), but it will soften with use. Still, we think it's best for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers. It wouldn't be our favorite bed for side sleepers, particularly if you want a soft mattress.
Hybrid Construction — In the budget category, there are very few beds that use a coil support system. We make a big deal of this because it indicates that the bed should be more durable over the long run and can better handle heavy/obese people. What's interesting about Allswell is that it's not using a traditional innerspring chassis. It has pocketed coils, which are much better for isolation motion and yet are still very supportive.

Why you might consider the Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress — Most cheap memory foam mattresses are available in just one firmness level. The Lucid 10″ Gel Memory Foam Mattress can be found on Amazon in a medium-plush, medium, and firm varietal. It also happens to be more than affordable—the queen size retails for under $250!
Firmness Options — As mentioned above, typically you have just one firmness level to select with a gel memory foam mattress, which means you sort of have to cross your fingers that the firmness level matches your sleeping preferences. With the Lucid 10″ mattress you're dealing with a non spring mattress with which you can select a soft, medium, or firm option. If you're a side sleeper, you might think about the plush mattress. If you're a combo sleeper, you might look into the medium option. And if you're a back/stomach sleeper, perhaps the firm model makes sense.
Certifications — While the bed is dirt cheap, it still holds the CertiPUR-US certification, which means essentially that the mattress is safe to sleep on. If you get a foam mattress, you should make absolutely certain that it has this certification, and we are glad to see that the Lucid 10″ Gel Memory Foam Mattress has it. All of the other beds on this list also have that certification.

What's so special about the Tuft & Needle Nod mattress — This is a really basic mattress, but we could see a lot of people liking it, especially if you look at the price tag. While the MSRP for the full size is over $300, we regularly see it for under $300. It has a general soft-foam feel that's comfortable and inviting.
Design — It doesn't get simpler than a two-layer foam bed, and yet Tuft & Needle Nod is still backed by a 10-year warranty. This is a bed that we can safely say that 70% of people will find passable. It might not be exactly what they wanted in terms of firmness or feel, but it will get the job done. We see this as a wonderful mattress for kids, college students, or anyone that's smaller or is on a tight budget.
Company — You might not have heard of Tuft & Needle, but they're a heavyweight in the world of bed-in-a-box mattresses. They company is also backed by (and owned by) Serta-Simmons, which is a well-established company in the bedding industry. We bring this is up to let you know that while this is an Amazon-exclusive mattress, it's not just from some no-name brand.

What makes the AmazonBasics mattress stand out — It's all about the price. This is an uber-cheap mattress that sells for under $300. In fact, we regularly see the 8″ version in the queen size for under even $200 on Amazon! It's just a cheap bed that's pretty comfortable and accomodating. It has no extras or anything fancy—just three layers of foam and a slight memory foam feel.
Feel of the mattress — It does use memory foam, but we wouldn't consider it to have a true, viscose memory foam feel. Because it has two other layers of poly foam, it has a neutral feel with a little memory foam mixed it. We actually think it's pretty comfortable, considering it's very very affordable.
Height Options — It's available in an 8″, 10″, and 12″ height varietal. The 8″ model is best for Airbnb, kids, guest rooms, and so on. The 10″ is the most popular and is a direct competitor to Tuft & Needle, Zinus, and Lucid. The 12″ model is better for people that want a little extra padding and cushioning.

While we don't recommend a mattress under $300 for everybody who is trying to find a new mattress, there are several reasons why we would suggest somebody go for the cheaper option rather than a queen size mattress. Say you're a sophomore in college, and you're on the hunt for furniture to put in your new studio apartment after leaving your freshman year dorm. You haven't started your career yet so you're not sure where you're going to end up after school, and your part-time job at Jimmy Johns isn't exactly filling your pockets with the cash you want. You have to furnish a whole place by yourself or with a roommate, and you probably don't want to spend your entire moving budget on one mattress. You especially don't want to be tied to a large and expensive mattress if you plan on moving out of the state after college. We would definitely recommend a cheaper, smaller mattress such as a full size, to get you through the rest of your two-three years left at school.
Or let's say you're a parent and your son is getting bigger and bigger every day you look at him. He just grew out of the racecar bed he begged for when he was five, but he still isn't quite ready for a mattress like you have. He is a decent size, but you don't want to buy him an $800 mattress then boom! Puberty hits him like a rock and he outgrows yet another mattress you bought for him. This is another instance where we would recommend a full size mattress that you can keep for several years until he's done growing for the most part, but won't feel like a wasteful purchase when he's ready to get a nicer bed like his parents'.
As you can probably imagine, different mattresses are made with different materials, some being more expensive than others. You can choose between foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses of the two. The three main types of foam are memory foam, latex foam, and polyurethane foam, which is basically like a neutral foam.
Memory foam mattresses usually have a viscose feel that softens as you apply pressure and embraces the curves of your body. It has a slow response time, but that just means it has limited motion transfer so you won't feel your partner get in and out of bed in the middle of the night. Latex foam has somewhat of a spongy feel and has more bounce to it than memory foam does. Latex foam, however, is usually more expensive and we don't recommend it for somebody on a lower budget.
Polyurethane foam is widely considered to be comfortable because of the neutral feel it has. Plus, it comes in a wide range of densities and isn't too costly. So it is often the safe pick for somebody who doesn't know exactly what kind of bed they are looking for.
Coil and innerspring mattresses have a system of pocketed or an interconnected spring system that offer good support, particularly for people that are heavier or obese. We sometimes refer to coil beds as being a "hybrid" since they combine two types of materials. That said, a hybrid mattress is not necessarily a coil mattress. Take the original Purple mattress, for example. That bed uses foam and a hyper-elastic polymer material, which means it's still technically a hybrid, but doesn't use coils. The new Purple mattresses (2, 3, and 4) use foam, coils, and hyper-elastic polymer.
If you want to buy a bed in a box mattress for around $300 or under, something you're going to want to take into account before you pull the trigger is the brand's return policy, and if they offer a risk-free trial period. If they don't, you just need to make certain you know what the bed is going to feel like and whom it is best for.
When it comes to choosing between a firm mattress, soft mattress, or somewhere in between, you should first consider your weight and how well the mattress you select will support you. Your mattress will also last longer if you purchase one that accommodates your weight. Let's bring back the college student and little kid examples from earlier.
You're a college student moving out of your freshman dorm into your new apartment, but you're a basketball player who stands at 6'3 and weighs 230 lb. Your sister's best friend tells you about a new bed she purchased for a low price, and mentions to you how firm it feels and thinks you may like it too. You go to try it out, and "firm" is the last word you would use to describe the mattress. Your sister's best friend isn't wrong for thinking the mattress was firm, she just weighs a substantial amount less and what may be firm to her isn't considered firm to you. This is because the heavier you are, the more pressure your body applies to the mattress. The basketball player may want to pass on the medium-firm beds and go straight for a firm mattress.
On the opposite side of the spectrum is the young boy who says he's too old for his racecar bed and wants a bigger mattress. He still hasn't gone through puberty yet because he's only nine, and he only weighs 65 lb. He is a back sleeper so you want to get a (somewhat) firmer mattress to make sure his body is properly supported, but since he weighs so little, a mattress that lands at a medium (rather than a firm) on the softness to firmness scale would probably be a good fit for him.
Maybe you're completely fine with spending $300 on a mattress, but after a year of sleeping on it you notice a difference in the way the mattress feels. Or maybe not much has changed in the feeling of your mattress, but you have some money saved up and want to make your mattress a little comfier for you. You always have the option of purchasing a mattress topper such as the Layla Mattress Topper to add more pressure relief or support to your body while you sleep. You can find a large selection of different mattress toppers on Amazon (including the Lucid Mattress Topper) to help you achieve whatever end result you want, whether it be a softer mattress or a firmer mattress. They also have different sized mattress toppers that usually range between 2"-6" so you can make your bed slightly thicker, or significantly thicker depending on your preference.
Just because you don't spend a ton of money on your mattress doesn't mean you won't want to keep it around for a while. Maybe you want to keep it as a bed for your guest bedroom, or as an extra mattress to have in storage for a rainy day. Whatever the reason, there are different ways to make sure your mattress stays in good shape. You can purchase a machine washable mattress protector on Amazon that's easily removable to throw into the washing machine any time it needs a good cleaning. Most beds don't come with a machine washable cover, and some don't even come with a removable cover. Many brands may claim you can remove the cover, but it can be difficult to put back on so we recommend you don't even mess with it.
You're also able to spot clean your mattress by using a mild detergent, warm water, and a cloth. Make sure to not get your mattress too wet, though, because you don't want to do any damage to the foam in the process of cleaning. You may not be able to completely remove every stain, but spot cleaning will at least make it so you don't have to sleep on top of a big glob of coffee after an accidental spill. Make sure to wait until the spot is completely dry before putting your sheets back on the mattress.

GUIDANCE FOR BLOGS – Here is a guide to the things you must do – and what not to do.
This is about blogging rather than commenting. There are many other guides to the do's and don'ts of commenting. This guide is only about writing blogs not comments.
Here is a list of things you MUST DO if you want your blogging to be successful.
a) If you are just starting in Steemit, set your expectations low. Don't expect to get many rewards, votes or comments before you have written 100s if not 1000+ blogs. Steemit is not an easy money place. Just because you see some bloggers in the hot or trending section earning $100s of dollars does not mean you can do it. These bloggers are already famous and have thousands of followers. Your next blog may be much more brilliant than theirs, but sadly you don't have the followers yet. They do. No votes is the norm when you are new. It will take a long time to grow worthwhile followers.
b) Make sure your blog would be interesting to others. Write well. Write intelligently. Don't make spelling or grammar mistakes. Take care of your layout. Use correct punctuation. Use headings and paragraphs to groups ideas. Make your text and layout pleasing to the eye. Always proof-read what you have written many times. Could you write something better? Can you improve something? Is what you have written clear?
c) Photos are not essential. They can be useful to illustrate a blog. Photos just for the sake of it may not add anything. There's no rule. So use your brain to judge what is appropriate. If you are writing about a family day in the park then a lot of photos can make your blog come alive. On the other hand, if you are writing about "Does God exist" – or a blog like this one, then it is hard to see the added value of inserting photos. It could seem quite contrived.
d) Use tags appropriately. You don't have to use all 5 tags. Make sure the first tag most closely reflects the topic you are writing about.
e) Write because you love writing, not because you are trying to earn a reward.
f) If you have written about 25 excellent and interesting posts, you should expect between 5 and 10 genuine followers. If you have them, then you are on the right track. "Genuine" means followers who have a reputation above 40 and who share similar interests and write similar blogs to your own.
g) If after 25 blogs you still have less than 5 genuine followers, and are getting less than 2 or 3 meaningful and interesting comments per blog, you could be doing something wrong. Maybe you need to change something.
Here are some recommendations to keep your most valuable followers:
i. Don't allow the quality of your writing to deteriorate. Your blogs should only get better, not worse.
ii. Don't write pointless posts.
iii. I sometimes see people who start writing here with a few brilliant posts. I follow them. Then they get disillusioned and write shorter less entertaining or less interesting posts hoping for another vote from me. I see these boring posts clogging up my feed, so I un-follow them.
iv. If you write boring articles you will still get followers, but not the type you want. These will be the kind of followers who don't read your articles and whose votes are worthless.
v. You want followers like me. Having one follower with my voting power is worth 1000 times that of the people who follow just for the sake of follow-for-follow. You want to keep high reputation steemians – those with a reputation above 50, like me, interested. If not, - if I find your latest blogs lack quality, - I will simply un-follow you - to keep my feed clean.
vi. Don't expect everyone who reads your blog to vote. Your readers are not charities. They want to be entertained, by something original and interesting. I only reward effort that I enjoyed. It's like the movies. It does not matter how much time and effort was put into making the movie, I'll only pay to watch it if I like it. I'll only come back a second time to pay to watch the sequel if I enjoyed the original. If Star Wars versions 1,2,3,4 and 5 were brilliant, I'll keep coming back for more. But if versions 6,7 and 8 aren't as good, then I won't come back for versions 9, 10 and 11.
Here are the things you MUST NOT do:
Don't cut and paste news stories from other websites. That's theft of copyright material. You are depriving the owners of their revenue. You are trying to make a profit for yourself at their expense. The journalist did the hard work and you are lazy. If everybody did that, we would have the contents of every newspaper clogging up steemit. You will be flagged if you plagiarize.
Don't cut and paste content from elsewhere on the web if you are not the author. The same comments as above apply. It's OK to quote a phrase, a sentence or a paragraph if you cite the original source provided your motive is to illustrate a point you are making on your own original blog.
Don't publish third party photos, even open source ones, without citing the source. Posting someone-else's photo without any meaningful discussion or commentary about it serves no purpose to steemit users. There are plenty of photography sites which are designed for that. If you post other people's photos – whether open-source or not, then, if it is not part of a useful discussion, or to illustrate a blog, it will be seen as spam posting just like copying news articles.
The same comment as above applies to videos. Publishing someone else's video in your blog, on its own, does not justify you getting rewarded for it. We can go to Youtube to find original videos by original authors without your help. Once again, doing this is downright theft. It's like stealing goods from Walmart and then selling them in your own store. You will be flagged if you try to milk the steemit reward system by doing this. It is OK to use an extract of a video to illustrate a point you are making in your original blog.
Do not engage in blogging activities designed to "game" the steemit rewards system. Examples could include publishing lots of short boring blogs with the motive of harvesting votes from friends or an army of bots. There are lots of ways people discover to try and game the system. Experienced steemians are no fools. They will see it for what is. Sooner or later a whale will start flagging you. Your reputation and rewards will be shot to zero.
Do not publish blogs containing only the same information that would already be found on a dedicated site, such as dictionary translations, sayings, anecdotes, famous quotes, idioms, and so on, unless what you are writing is original, i.e. your own work. It should be more useful to others than what is already found on the dedicated sites.
Do not misuse tags. Adding a tag like "life" or "photography" to this blog would be misleading.
Do not post advertisements or quasi-advertisements. Do not add your own referral links to try and re-direct people to some "money-making" scheme where you will earn a commission for the referral.
When blogging, remember that some of your readers will be very different from you. They will have different backgrounds, religions, cultures, and ways of thinking. What you find funny, some may find insensitive, offensive, or plain rude. Don't stop this from letting you voice your opinions, but be prepared to face disagreement or arguments from others.
Don't abuse others, exact revenge or act like a child. We're grown ups. Someone didn't like your blog? Tough. Forget it and move on.
Don't try and write when you are drunk or on drugs. You might regret it later. Remember, this is the blockchain. Everything you write is stored forever.
If you are a school-teacher or a preacher, do not encourage your students to write here. They are not ready for the harsh criticism that can be meted out by those who are not trained in dealing with sensitive little souls.
Don't spoil your blogs with banners or non relevant animated gifs.

" John Malloy is a fantastic and cool salesperson, being professional, upfront about any issues with the car, very helpful and offered me a great deal. Mark and Jason are also great. Looking for a budget SUV for the winter, I totally understand the low-budget used car can be full of hassles.

Just said hey you got approved what car do you want and test drove it for half an hour then signed papers and kept rushing me to get insurance and hurry me put them door. Don't get me wrong good customer service but they will say anything to get there money worth. "

Today at the Pioneer Farms, we did a tour of where they keep their corn and where they start their corn plants and seeds. We also learned how they pollinate the corn, they do it all by hand. A topic that we discussed were GMO's, ways to get rid of bad insects, and also what insects are beneficial for the farm. We looked at the good and bad insects under the microscope. After this, we moved on to the Mālaola Cultural Garden at Pioneer Farms, at this garden we worked on removing weeds and invasive plants that we don't want in the garden so that the native plants there can grow successfully. We also worked on a mulch bed to keep weeds down as well as moved rocks to anchor down the weed mat. A highlight of today would be when we were weeding because I helped pull out a lot of weeds and invasive plants. Another highlight would be counting the 29 trash bags of weeds and invasive plants showing all of our progress as a group for the day.

Edward Snowden is a polarizing figure, and yet for all that has been said about the man responsible for the biggest intelligence leak in U.S. history, it took an artist to show him in a brave new light. Thanks to the work of visual artist Jeff Rosin, we can finally see what Snowden would look like with long hair.
This powerful image has Snowden standing alone, his eyes, framed by his now-famous rimless glasses, set in concentration, and, for the first time, flowing locks that stretch down well past his shoulders. Suddenly, we can envision how he would have felt resolutely brushing his bangs to the side as he prepared to leak the largest trove of government documents ever released.
Is he a hero or a traitor? Either way, as far as this picture is concerned, he has long hair. The proof is right in front of our eyes, and it's undeniable.
We all have our opinions about Edward Snowden. Regardless of where you stand, though, you have to admit that the long hair is absolutely breathtaking.

Maree Brown is Director of the Child Wellbeing Unit in the New Zealand Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. She is responsible for leading cross-sector work on New Zealand's first Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy, which will be published later this year. Prior to her current role Maree held senior positions in Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children, the Ministry of Social Development and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and has spent most of her career in child and family policy roles.
Late last year the New Zealand Government passed landmark legislation to reduce child poverty and improve child wellbeing. The new laws require successive governments to set and report against targets to reduce child poverty, as well as developing a strategy to improve the wellbeing of all New Zealand children, with a particular focus on those in poverty or with greater needs. Significantly the new legislation was passed with almost unanimous support across Parliament.
The Government has already stated its bold vision for the first strategy which will be published later this year: to make New Zealand the best place in the world for children and young people. As the Prime Minister has said, it presents an opportunity to be bold and ambitious and to achieve meaningful change.
This address will provide an update on the development of the first strategy, and the information that is helping to inform it – including key insights from children and young people on what good wellbeing means to them, what gets in the way and their ideas about what needs to be done.
It will discuss the outcomes the Government is seeking for all children and young people and the need to work differently within government and with other sectors if we are to realise those outcomes. Finally, it will talk about the importance of framing public communications and narratives about child wellbeing in a way that builds momentum and wider support for the things that will make a difference.
