Is the NNEB a valid level qualification??
Hi Everyone,
There seems to be some confusion over whether the NNEB is still a valid level 3 qualification. I have been told recently by two nurseries that it isn't and l will have to do my NVQ level 3 or a top up course.
Well l contacted Ofsted and they passed me onto the CWDC and l have written confirmation that it is still valid as a level 3 qualification as it still meets the 3 mandatory requirements. If anyone tells you otherwise then they are wrong!!
Hi, yes i thought it was still valid, although correct me if i'm wrong.
When you did your NNEB course it was only talking about children up to 8 yrs, now when you do your level 3 it's talking about children up to 16 yrs.
If i'm right, then a top up course would be a good idea.
Yes its still a 'valid' L3 however its now considered 'old' - the NVQ L3 is considered the replacement and more up to date.
I was told by the Early Years team in my borough that the NNEB was no longer considered a full & relevant qualification and would need to be topped up with some modules from the Level 3 Diploma.
It might be an old qualification but surely the childcare experience that goes with it should count for something too? 15 years in my case....
It doesn't meet 2 of the optional requirements, l think one of these is to do with the EYFS which obviously didn't exist then and the other l think is because it only goes up to the age 8 yrs. It still meets the 3 mandatory requirements still making it valid.
All qualifications become 'old' eventually but I think as long as you keep up to date with EYFS training etc and make it clear you are only qualified to look after children up to the age of 8 then you should be ok.
i don't see the point in doing another level 3 qualification when l've been told that it is still valid.
This is what l was told
Thank you for contacting the Childrens Workforce Development Council.
CWDC define qualifications for the early years foundation stage so that practitioners may count in the legal staff to children ratios in an early years setting. We do this by mapping them against three mandatory criteria. The three mandatory requirements are as follows:
Demonstrate depth and level of learning appropriate to specified outcomes of full early years, childcare or Playwork qualifications
Demonstrate it has valid, reliable assessment and awarding procedures
Include an element of assessed performance evidence
I can confirm that the Diploma in Nursery Nursing awarded by the NNEB is a full and relevant qualification and you can count in the ratios at level 3 in an early years setting. Please refer to our website for confirmation.

Banner Gateway recognized for our Electronic Medical Record Model
By Pam Nenaber, CEO
Banner Gateway Medical Center was recently recognized by HIMSS Analytics for having achieved the Stage 6 designation of the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Model. This is a very impressive recognition and I want to share the letter I received from the President and CEO of this company as we could not have accomplished this without all of you!
"Dear Ms. Nenaber,
It gives me great pleasure to announce Banner Gateway Medical Center as having achieved the Stage 6 designation of the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model. This distinction honors your organization's accomplishments to implement technology solutions that have the ability to improve patient safety and quality of care.
Currently, only 277 hospitals (5.2 percent) in the United States and only 291 hospitals in the world, including yours carry a Stage 6 designation. Banner Gateway Medical Center is a great example of how a vision can become a reality in the world of healthcare information technology.
We know that it takes executive commitment, support and a great team of health care professionals to achieve this advanced level. We encourage you to publicize your accomplishments, so that other organizations may follow your example...and come to you for assistance and guidance as they embark on a similar journey.
We also believe that Stage 6 hospitals are well positioned to be successful with achieving the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) goals, measurements and funding through 2013. We hope you accomplish all of your organization's potential in meeting the ARRA objectives. Your hospital will be recognized at The HIMSS 12 Annual Conference & Exhibition in February 2012.
Again, congratulations on your exemplary work in leading the way towards healthcare IT adoption that improves patient care."
H. Stephen Lieber, CAE
President & CEO
HIMSS & HIMSS Analytics Chair of Board"

The mission of the CCD Prevention Task Force is consistent with the mission of the U.S. Public Health Service—to prevent disease and...disability. The task force advocates for the service's programs. The prevention task force also engages in concerted advocacy for national public policy and heightened public awareness in the area of prevention of congenital birth defects and acquired illness/injuries and prevention of secondary conditions in persons with disabilities.

BackgroundThere is a persistently reoccurring misassumption among the public that disability among Americans is rare. Recent data indicates that there are 53.6 million Americans with disabilities with over 80% acquired during ones lifetime. Less than desirable lifestyles such as alcohol and substance abuse, tobacco environmental toxins, lack of access to clinical preventive services, and medical services and insufficient physical exercise can diminish health to a point where there is an adverse impact on a major life function (i.e. disability).The World Health Organization indicates that the United States is 37th among industrialized nations on the health status measure of quality life years. A major reason for the poor health of Americans, that can lead to disability, is a less than adequate public health system. Therefore, the major focus of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities Prevention task force is to advocate for the implementation of effective public health through programs directed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes for Health.The goals and priorities of the U.S. Public Health Service through Healthy People 2010 and the public health issue of poverty is the major legislative policy content for advocacy of the task force.
The CCD Prevention Task Force works toward crafting, enacting, passing and implementing prevention legislation in Congress; securing Congressional appropriations for necessary programs; supporting prevention-related public relations/media initiatives; and working collaboratively with federal agencies and national coalitions.
Prevention and Environmental Health
Prenatal Exposure to PBDEs and Neurodevelopment
The Prevention Task Force sent a letter to President Bush in protest of the proposed cuts to more than 70 disability prevention/public health programs included in his Fiscal Year 2007 budget. A co-chairs letter was sent to the American Public Health Association in support of its initiative through the Healthy Places Act of 2006 to design assessments and evaluation of implementation of public health programs. An interagency working group on environmental health that includes nearly all federal agencies will facilitate communication on environmental health-related projects and policies and serve as a centralized mechanism to coordinate national efforts.

No. The liners should never see the inside of a washing machine. Fill a big bucket with a room temp water and dissolve half a cup of liquid laundry detergent in it (no bleach, no fabric softener). You can also use an enzymatic bacterial cleaner but detergent will do just as good a job. Soak the liners for a couple of hours and then rinse them well in cold water and air dry. Oh and take the insoles out before you do it.

Summer officially ends today, and in Paonia, Colorado, it has been an unpredictable ride. First arid, stifling, and pest-ridden, and then topped off with monsoons that helped to rescue flagging crops—these are some of the ground-level conditions that residents like Mark Trujillo in the video above have observed for iSeeChange this season.
A participatory environmental reporting project led by Julia Kumari Drapkin at KVNF, iSeeChange flips the script by surfacing story topics from users' weather observations, and then tapping scientists to explain the whys and hows. Notably, this bottom-up sourcing has foreshadowed some of the nation's biggest recent weather stories—weeks and sometimes even months in advance:
- Fire: In April, Hotchkiss Fire District Chief Doug Fritz texted iSeeChange's hotline on the way home from a wildfire he thought was oddly early in the season—so unseasonal that it was doused by snow. Drapkin followed up on the tip—listen to the story here—which preceded the larger fires that erupted in May and early June.
- Heat and Drought: An April text about drought was the first of several iSeeChange reports on the unusually warm and dry summer—listen to this piece on water stress to get a sense of the high stakes for farmers. At Paonia's July Cherry Days festival, Drapkin spoke with Trujillo and other residents who expressed concern —for good reason. Since 1895, this was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and the hottest 15 months on record for the U.S.
- Mosquitoes: A June text from Amber Kleinman wondered about the mosquitoes that were swarming in her garden a month earlier than usual. On air, Ken Norstrom of the Delta County Health Department confirmed that not only were there more mosquitoes appearing earlier, and their breeding pools were testing positive for West Nile Virus. As Drapkin reported, the mosquito-borne virus has been spotted in record-breaking numbers across the country this year.
These examples reveal the promise of involving audience members to provide telling accounts about what's happening in their own backyards well before climate reporters clue in. "We're talking about the issues before they become big problems," Drapkin says.
But not all iSeeChange news is bad news. In August, the team turned their attention to "critters," asking listeners for submissions about what wildlife they were seeing, such as the photo sent in by Andrew Cranson at left. Drapkin drew both scientists and residents in to take part in KVNF's lighthearted hour-long call-in show on the topic, featuring riffs on roadkill, horny toads, bear sightings and more.
For KVNF, iSeeChange offers an opportunity to engage and inform listeners more and more deeply around important community topics. For scientists, it's a chance to connect and gather the kind of grounded data they need to understand larger trends. And for listeners, it's a chance to contribute, and to talk with one another about topics that shape their lives. See this "Anatomy of a Story" slideshow for a deeper dive into how this process played out in Drapkin's reporting on rain.
The iSeeChange team spent much of the summer in R&D mode, testing out various online, mobile and face-to-face strategies for gathering submissions. Along the way, they discovered a small but passionate community of farmers, ranchers, environmentalists, recreationists and others who are already keeping notes about the weather in the margins of calendars and the backs of envelopes, and welcome the chance to compare them. Working with Localore's interactive storytelling partners Zeega, Drapkin landed upon a promising interface for aggregating and sharing these "sees"—a crowsdsourced online almanac.
For centuries, almanacs worldwide have served as one-stop guides for planting and astronomical data, day-to-day living tips, and community lore. Drapkin has been pondering their value since college, when she worked with a team of anthropologists to research the origins and uses of the Madrid Codex, a fifteenth-century illustrated Mayan manuscript that tracked key seasonal and religious dates.
The forthcoming iSeeChange almanac is notable for its community focus and open design. Almanac editors have famously guarded their weather prediction methods, hiding behind jokey forecaster pen names such as "Caleb Weatherbee"—or even, in the case of the Old Farmer's Almanac, locking the formula up in a black box. While their forecasts have grown more scientific, they've remained proprietary.
In contrast, iSeeChange will transparently explore emerging weather trends, through a combination of participants' submissions, layered with up-to-date climate and emergency feeds that will help place the local information in a global context. Drapkin is even in conversation with NASA to see if there are ways to incorporate remote sensing data.
Users will be able to browse this data month-by-month, season-by-season, by emotion, or by type of contributor: ranchers, gardeners, scientists, etc. Designed by Civic Center and developed by Zeega, the site will allow users to submit text, audio, video and photo reports on what they're noticing, and to comment on one another's posts.
Drapkin unveiled the designs for the almanac last week at an event featuring Colorado state climatologist Noland Doeskin, who has become a repeat iSeeChange source and was on hand to answer weather questions. Attendees responded to the site wireframes enthusiastically, and are excited to start posting. In some ways, Drapkin says, "the technology is almost irrelevant—the most important thing is working with a community that cares. Together, we discovered that there was a service to provide and stories to tell in whole new ways. "
Visit iSeeChange on Facebook for news about the almanac's launch, and check this blog regularly for updates on all 10 Localore projects.

Jeffrey H. Sloman, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, John V. Gillies, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Miguel Exposito, Chief, City of Miami Police Department, announced that Miami Police Officer Christian Alvarez-Vega, 37, was charged in a criminal complaint, unsealed today, with depriving an individual of his civil rights while acting under color of law, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 242, and possessing and using, without lawful authority, a means of identification of that same individual, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028(a)(7). If convicted of these charges, the defendant faces a maximum statutory sentence of six (6) years in prison.
According to the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, in the early morning hours of January 11, 2010, Alvarez-Vega, a 12-year veteran police officer, responded in his official capacity to an incident where the victim had been the passenger in a car crash. After Alvarez-Vega transported the victim in his police car, he found the victim's bank card. Later, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Alvarez-Vega contacted the victim, claiming that he needed the victim's bank "PIN" number as part of his official police investigation. The victim provided the information to him. Later that morning, Alvarez-Vega, still in uniform and driving his marked police car, and without consent from the victim, went to a supermarket ATM and used that bank card to withdraw $460 from the victim's bank account.
This afternoon, Alvarez-Vega appeared before Chief Magistrate Judge Stephen T. Brown for a bond hearing. He was released on a $150,000 personal surety bond and is scheduled to appear in court on April 29, 2010 for a preliminary hearing or arraignment.
Mr. Sloman commended the officers of the City of Miami Police Department Internal Affairs Section Anti-Corruption Unit and the Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for their work on this matter. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan R. Osborne.
A complaint is only an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Rupert of Salzburg
Rupert of Salzburg | |
Head of a Gothic style statue of Saint Rupert
Bishop | |
Born | 660? |
Died | 27 March 710 Salzburg, Austria |
Venerated in | Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy |
Feast | September 24 [1] 27 March |
Attributes | Holding a container of salt |
Patronage | Salzburg, The State of Salzburg |
Rupert of Salzburg (also Ruprecht, Hrodperht, Hrodpreht, Roudbertus, Rudbertus, Robert)[2] (660?[3] – 710) is a saint in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches and a founder of the Austrian city of Salzburg. He was a contemporary of Childebert III, king of the Franks.[2]
Tradition states that Rupert was a scion of the Frankish royal Merovingian family.[4] He was also the uncle of Saint Erentrude.
Rupert was bishop of Worms until around 697, when unbelievers in the vicinity of Worms exiled him from the city.[4] He was sent as a missionary to Regensburg in Bavaria. There, he may have first baptized Duke Theodo of Bavaria,[5] whose permission was necessary for further missionary work, and then baptized a number of the nobles. After such success, Rupert moved on to Altötting and converted the locals. He soon had converted a large area of the Danube. As well as converting the locals, Rupert introduced education and other reforms. He promoted the salt mines of Salzburg, then the ruined Roman town of Juvavum, and made it his base and renamed the place "Salzburg." [6] He reportedly died on Easter Sunday around 710.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Rupert's feast day is 27 March.[4] In Austria it is on 24 September.[1]

When you've gone through a process that was flawed to the extant that you are left with one candidate, isn't it human nature for that one candidate to start looking even better?
I hope the School Board has the intestinal fortitude to admit that something has gone wrong and reopen the process. This position is too important not to do everything we possibly can to get it right. Even if it takes longer. I have no reason to doubt that the Board tried in good faith. Sometimes things just don't work out.

NEW Data Roaming Monthly4G International Calling Rate Increase International Calling Rates Increase Regulatory Programs Fee Texas Recovery Fee FlexPay Paper Payment Reminders Returned Payment Fee Increase Premium Handset Protection updates Licenses Bankruptcy Legal Notices
Beginning on April 5, 2012 there will be a limit on the amount of data that can be used while a T-Mobile customers device is connected to another providers network (off-network or domestic roaming). Customers that are domestically roaming will receive free text message usage alerts for data. If the roaming data limit is exceeded for a Rate Plan, then data service will be suspended from off-network roaming until the start of the next bill cycle or a qualifying change is made to the Rate Plan. This will not impact: (1) voice usage, and (2) data usage on the T-Mobile network.
To determine domestic roaming areas, see the T-Mobile data coverage map by visiting www.T-Mobile.com/Coverage. The domestic roaming data allowance for each Rate Plan is outlined in the chart below. To use this chart, review the Current Rate Plan Full Speed Data Allotment column to identify the megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB) included in your Rate Plan, and then see the domestic roaming data usage limit that applies on the right. The megabytes or gigabytes for a Rate Plan can often be found by reviewing the Available Service section on page 1 of the bill (ex: Classic Simple 200MB Data Promo) or by dialing #WEB# send from your mobile phone.
Off-network data use may occur even when you are within the T-Mobile coverage area. See T-Mobile.com for directions on how to update device settings to avoid domestic roaming and for more information about this notice. Review Sections 3-5 of T-Mobiles Terms and Conditions available at T-Mobile.com for information on your rights (which may include early service cancellation) as a T-Mobile customer. Please retain a copy of this notice for your records. © 2012 T-Mobile USA, Inc.
Data Roaming Frequently Asked Questions
To continue providing the most competitive pricing options in the industry, T-Mobile has chosen to introduce a domestic data roaming allotment on all data plans. Very few customers will use enough domestic data while roaming to be impacted by this change. Domestic roaming allotments are used across the wireless industry and so this is common with other carriers as well.
The best way to determine your active network is to go into the handset settings and look for the mobile network or phone status options. This specific process varies by device and we advise you consult your user guide for details. Many devices, however, including BlackBerry will display T-Mobile on the home screen anytime you are on the T-Mobile network. If your handset doesnt display this information on the home screen, it may display it on the screen that shows when the device is locked. In addition to your device display, you can review the T-Mobile coverage map prior to traveling to determine if your destination is within the T-Mobile coverage area. See Personal Coverage Check and select Data.
This depends on your data plan. The larger the data plan, the more domestic data roaming you have access to each month. This also means that if you exceed the amount for your plan, you may be able to upgrade to a larger plan either temporarily or permanently. See chart to determine the domestic data roaming allotment for your data plan.
Note: The megabyte allotment for your data plan can often be found by reviewing the Available Service Section on page 1 of your bill (ex: Classic Simple 200MB Data Promo) or by dialing #WEB# Send from your mobile phone
You will receive a free usage alert via text message to notify you once you use 80% of your monthly domestic data roaming allotment. You will receive another free usage alert via text message to notify you when you reach 100% of your domestic data roaming allotment. These text messages will contain a link that will allow you to view your real-time usage. You can also view your domestic data usage by using the MyAccount feature on your device while roaming.
You can upgrade your data plan to one that includes a higher domestic data roaming allotment (temporarily or permanently), return to the T-Mobile network, wait for your billing cycle to start over, or use Wi-Fi for unlimited data access if you have a Wi-Fi capable device once you reach your domestic data roaming limit.

"I am sorry. We are sorry." It was with those unscripted two sentences uttered in front of a standing-room-only crowd of more than 400 people that Emory University's president, James Wagner, gave voice to a great wrong.
But first some background. From 1948 to 1961, the university's dean, John Buhler, led Emory's dental school. . Every year, a small number of young Jewish men would be admitted to the school. Then, at Buhler's instigation, often within a year, many would be flunked out. Some of the luckier ones were forced to repeat a year. Their lives were, in the words of one student, "a living hell." They knew that irrespective of how hard they worked or how well they succeeded, all would probably be for naught. Many were told by Buhler that "Jews do not have it in the hands" for dentistry.
Humiliated, they had to explain to parents, many of whom had sacrificed greatly for their sons' education, that they had been ejected. Parents asked their sons, "Couldn't you have worked harder?" Many of these men went on to stellar careers in dentistry; one became a cardiac surgeon. Despite their successes, most never spoke to their families about the shame they had felt.
Some in the Atlanta Jewish community knew what was happening, but in typical Southern Jewish fashion they elected not to make a fuss. Some communal leaders were convinced that the students were trying to make excuses. One brave soul, Art Levin, head of the local Anti-Defamation League, believed them and chose protest. He amassed statistics showing that 65% of the Jewish students at the school were failed or had been forced to repeat a class. He compared this with the medical school, where only 4% faced that fate. He was told that none of this happened and it won't happen anymore. But it did.
In 1961, the dean, probably feeling impervious, prepared an admission form with three boxes at the top. Applicants were to pick one. The choices were Caucasian, Jewish and Other. (It goes without saying that there were, of course, no African-American students at the school during those years.) After the ADL brought the admission form to the university's attention, Buhler resigned, though Emory insisted that this was unrelated to the charges of anti-Semitism.

This is a very fine milled highlighting powder. It has five stripes of color, in various champagne, golden toned shades. It makes a stunning highlight for cheek bones, cuspids bow inner eye corner and brow bone. It also looks lovely used as eye shadow.
The shimmer is so fine, it makes skin look luminous. Good quality product. Good job Dior!

After purchasing rose diamond and loving it so much, I was very excited to try amber diamond. I was afraid it might end up looking a little too brown/bronzy on, but it actually looks amazing on my NC20 skin! I've found that with rose diamond, I can sometimes overdo it and end up looking slightly too pink, but the shades in amber diamond blend in with my skin even better and really do just leave me with a healthy glow. I would best describe the color of the highlighter on my skin as gold, but it is not obviously gold. Just a warm sheen. It's beautiful! I just swipe it over the tops of my cheekbones and it really completes my look. I would definitely repurchase this, if it weren't discontinued, and I'm afraid I will have a hard time finding a replacement for it. Just like with rose diamond, there are no obvious glitter chunks. This is a very sophisticated highlighter, and I am very happy with it!
I had wanted to try this product forever ! I'm Nc15 and i love gold Highlighters. This Highlighter is so finally milled it gives such a beautiful glow to my cheekbones. I cant believe how many compliments I have had since I started using it. So glad I bought it , its a HG product now.
I finally gotten the famous Dior Amber Diamond and I'm so glad I did! I bought this in one of my Sephora Hauls. I was very hesitant to purchase this because of the price tag. At $44, I was definitely hesitant! But I purchased this at the Sephora Friends and Family sale, so seeing that I get 20% off I thought I might as well. Plus, there was a rumor going around that it was going to get discontinued so I jumped on the band wagon. The powder is so finely milled it's amazing! The pigmentation is absolutely amazing! It looks so beautiful on the skin I can hardly believe it. I just love the shimmer and shine it give off. I'm between NC30-NC37. It is not oily looking at all, just gives a beautiful glow. You can use the colors separately but I prefer using the colors swirled together for a beautiful highlight. This powder can also work as an eyeshadow...using the lighter colors as a great inner highlight. My pictures do not do this highlighter any justice. It was definitely worth the price tag!
I absolutely adore this product. It gives my skin a healthy glow without making me look oily. The color suits me perfectly as it is flattering on my warm skin (NC25). It is finely milled and looks natural on the skin.
The only reason I wouldn't give this 5 lippies is because of 1. the price (granted, it will last me forever) and 2. it doesn't last all day on me.
I agree with the post below. I don't get it. This worked OK -- not great -- for me. I couldn't really see it very much, and when I did notice it, it never looked great. I don't know, maybe I am not using the right brush to apply but I prefer other luminizers. The kicker is that it crumbled into a nasty mess about a month after I bought it. It is unacceptable to pay so much for a product only for it to crumble so quickly.
I really really wanted to love this product. I love Dior packaging and products, but this one just does not work on dark skin like mine the way I wanted it to. My skin tends to be dry in patches and oily the rest and this product just has way too much shimmer that settle in the oily creases. It does, however, give you an immediate all over glow that does not last too long if you are oily or sweat like me. It also, I suspect, irritates my skin because my pores start showing within half hour of having the product on my face. Might work for the rest of the body maybe, but I am not a shimmer person. I like the Benefit Watt's up sooo much better. And the price just cannot be justified any which way for the cons its has.
I have light-medium beige skin and had high hopes after reading fabulous reviews at Sephora. Like another reviewer who stated she couldn't get it to show up unless she layered it on very heavily I have the same issue. When I finally get enough on it looks like I smeared icing on my face. Plus, I have very, very oily skin and truthfully after a couple of hours it's pretty hard to distinguish the oil from this highlighter. If you have medium or dark skin with yellow or olive tones you will probably love this. Unfortunately, it' snot for me.

Truthdigger of the Week: Tomas YoungPosted on Mar 23, 2013
(Page 2) "He was more distant than he'd been before," Richards said. "I'm sure he was troubled by his inability to speak. But he was very friendly." Richards took a handful of photographs for the couple. He said that by then Young had made the decision to stop living. "He told me very tactfully that he was considering a change in his status, so to speak," Richards said. The photographer recognizes that the pain of being unable to socialize was a determining factor in Young's decision to die. "I think one of the worries he had [after his brain injury] was that people wouldn't talk with him as much as they used to," he said. Young's independence was already gone, but the inability to participate in the sort of nuanced communication that constitutes so much of interpersonal relating stands as yet another grievous, isolating loss. A number of people commenting beneath the many published articles about Young this week have written that suicide, even in Young's condition, is inexcusable. "I've met other people who have terribly debilitating diseases, but the consciousness is still there," Richards said. "Tomas is becoming trapped. His world is shrinking." Richards is tempted to try to persuade his friend to abandon his decision. "I would love to get on the phone and argue with him," he said. "I would because I care for him so much. But on the other hand, what he calls life is progressively coming to a close for him. It's kind of pretentious on my part to think that my idea of life applies to his. He's been thinking about it for a long time, and I think life is closing in on him very quickly." For a moment Richards thought about the consequence of Young's coming absence to liberals across the country. "One of the biggest problems for me, a practical problem," he confided, "was that we'll lose a major voice that is questioning these fucking wars. We won't have that voice much longer. That sounds so selfish, but it's real." Advertisement Square, Site wide For struggling for as long as he has, for publicly shaming a class of people who make a holiday of the deaths and suffering of the powerless, and for forcing us again to consider the terrible consequences of America's unnecessary, ongoing and disgraceful wars, we honor Tomas Young as our Truthdigger of the Week.

Drilling Fluids: A drilling fluid is any fluid which is circulated through a well in order to remove cuttings from a wellbore. This section will discuss fluids which have water or oil as their continuous phase. Air, mist and foam, which can be used as drilling fluids, will not be discussed at this time. A drilling fluid must fulfill many functions in order for a well to be drilled successfully, safely, and economically. The most important functions are: Remove drilled cuttings from under the bit, Carry those cuttings out of the hole, Suspend cuttings in the fluid when circulation is stopped, Release cuttings when processed by surface equipment, Allow cuttings to settle out at the surface, Provide enough hydrostatic pressure to balance formation pore pressures, Prevent the bore hole from collapsing or caving in, Protect producing formations from damage which could impair production and Clean, cool, and lubricate the drill bit.
Drilling Fluid Properties: For those working at wellsites, a basic knowledge of "fluid" properties is required, especially those properties that distinguish fluids from solids. Fluids can be either a gas or a liquid, where gases are highly compressible and its volume being dependent upon pressure and temperature. Liquids, on the other hand, are only slightly compressible, and their volume being only slightly dependent upon temperature. We shall be dealing with only liquids in this text. Since drilling muds are commonly referred to as drilling fluids, the term "fluid" will be used throughout the text. The effects of temperature and pressure on a volume of drilling fluid will be ignored. A cube of water measuring 1 foot along each edge weighs 62.4 lbs. The density or "specific weight" is then 62.4 lb/ft 3. Specific weight divided by the gravitational constant is known as "mass density" or just density. This same cube of water exerts a hydrostatic pressure of 62.4 lbs distributed evenly over its bottom surface of 1 ft2 or 0.433 psi (62.4lbs 144 in2).
Hydrostatic pressure of a column of fluid is thus determined by:
Hp = (Dv – Fl) x MD x g where: Hp = hydrostatic pressure.
Dv = vertical depth. Fl = flowline depth. MD = fluid density. g = gravitational constant.
Note that this is dependent upon vertical depth and fluid density. In oilfield units the fluid density will be the "mud density", with a conversion factor 0.0519. The conversion factor is derived from: There are 7.48 gallons in 1 cu/ft and 144 sq inches in 1 sq/ft because: lb/gal x 7.48 gal/ft3 x 1/144 ft2/in2 = psi/ft and: 7.48/144 = psi/ft/lb/gal therefore: 0.0519 = psi/ft/lb/gal. A drilling fluid of 8.34 lb/gal exerts a pressure of; 8.34 x 0.0519 = 0.4328 psi/ft. In SI units the conversion factor is 0.0098, therefore: Hp (kPa) = MD (kg/m3) x Dv(m) x 0.0098
Drilling Fluid Additives: Many substances, both reactive and inert, are added to drilling fluids to perform specialized functions. The most common functions are:
Alkalinity and pH Control: Designed to control the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the drilling fluid. Most common are lime, caustic soda and bicarbonate of soda.
Bactericides: Used to reduce the bacteria count. Paraformaldehyde, caustic soda, lime and starch preservatives are the most common.
Calcium Reducers: These are used to prevent, reduce and overcome the contamination effects of calcium sulfates (anhydrite and gypsum). The most common are caustic soda, soda ash, bicarbonate of soda and certain polyphosphates
Corrosion Inhibitors: Used to control the effects of oxygen and hydrogen sulfide corrosion. Hydrated lime and amine salts are often added to check this type of corrosion. Oil-based muds have excellent corrosion inhibition properties.
Defoamers: These are used to reduce the foaming action in salt and saturated saltwater mud systems, by reducing the surface tension.
Emulsifiers: Added to a mud system to create a homogeneous mixture of two liquids (oil and water). The most common are modified lignosulfonates, fatty acids and amine derivatives.
Filtrate Reducers: These are used to reduce the amount of water lost to the formations. The most common are bentonite clays, CMC (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and pre-gelatinized starch.
Flocculants: These are used to cause the colloidal particles in suspension to form into bunches, causing solids to settle out. The most common are salt, hydrated lime, gypsum and sodium tetraphosphates.
Foaming Agents: Most commonly used in air drilling operations. They act as surfactants, to foam in the presence of water.
Lost Circulation Materials: These inert solids are used to plug large openings in the formations, to prevent the loss of whole drilling fluid. Nut plug (nut shells), and mica flakes are commonly used.
Lubricants: These are used to reduce torque at the bit by reducing the coefficient of friction. Certain oils and soaps are commonly used.
Pipe-Freeing Agents: Used as spotting fluids in areas of stuck pipe to reduce friction, increase lubricity and inhibit formation hydration. Commonly used are oils, detergents, surfactants and soaps.
Shale-Control Inhibitors: These are used to control the hydration, caving and disintegration of clay/ shale formations. Commonly used are gypsum, sodium silicate and calcium lignosulfonates.
Surfactants: These are used to reduce the interfacial tension between contacting surfaces (oil/water, water/solids, water/air, etc.).
Weighting Agents: Used to provide a weighted fluid higher than the fluids specific gravity. Materials are barite, hematite, calcium carbonate and galena.
Drilling Fluid Classification Systems: Non-Dispersed System: This mud system consists of spud muds, "natural" muds, and other lightly treated systems. Generally used in the shallower portions of a well.
Dispersed Mud Systems: These mud systems are "dispersed" with deflocculants and filtrate reducers. Normally used on deeper wells or where problems with viscosity occur. The main dispersed mud is a "lignosulfonate" system, though other products are used. Lignite and other chemicals are added to maintain specific mud properties.
Calcium-Treated Mud Systems: This mud system uses calcium and magnesium to inhibit the hydration of formation clays/shales. Hydrated lime, gypsum and calcium chloride are the main components of this type of system.
Polymer Mud Systems: Polymers are long-chained, high molecular-weight compounds, which are used to increase the viscosity, flocculate clays, reduce filtrate and stabilize the borehole. Bio-polymers and cross-linked polymers, which have good shear-thinning properties, are also used.
Low Solids Mud System: This type of mud system controls the solids content and type. Total solids should not be higher than 6% to 10%. Clay content should not be greater than 3%. Drilled solids to bentonite ratio should be less than 2:1.
Saturated Salt Mud Systems: A saturated salt system will have a chloride content of 189,000 ppm. In saltwater systems, the chloride content can range from 6,000 to 189,000 ppm. Those at the lower end are normally called "seawater" systems.
These muds can be prepared with fresh or salt water, then sodium chloride or other salts (potassium, etc.) are added. Attapulgite clay, CMC or starch is added to maintain viscosity.
Oil-Based Mud Systems: There are two types of systems: 1) invert emulsion, where water is the dispersed phase and oil the continuous phase (water-in-oil mud), and 2) emulsion muds, where oil is the dispersed phase and water is the continuous phase (oil-in-water mud). Emulsifiers are added to control the rheological properties (water increases viscosity, oil decreases viscosity).
Air, Mist, Foam-Based Mud Systems: These "lower than hydrostatic pressure" systems are of four types: 1) dry air or gas is injected into the borehole to remove cuttings and can be used until appreciable amounts of water are encountered, 2) mist drilling is then used, which involves injecting a foaming agent into the air stream, 3) foam drilling is used when large amounts of water is encountered, which uses chemical detergents and polymers to form the foam, and 4) aerated fluids is a mud system injected with air to reduce the hydrostatic pressure.
Workover Mud Systems: Also called completion fluids, these are specialized systems designed to 1) minimize formation damage, 2) be compatible with acidizing and fracturing fluids, and 3) reduce clay/shale hydration. They are usually highly treated brines and blended salt fluids.
Make-up of a Drilling Fluid: In its most basic form a drilling fluid is composed of a liquid (either water or oil) and some sort of viscosifying agent. If nothing else is added, whenever the hydrostatic pressure is greater than the formation pore pressure (and the formation is porous and permeable) a portion of the fluid will be flushed into the formation. Since excessive filtrate can cause borehole problems, some sort of filtration control additive is generally added. In order to provide enough hydrostatic pressure to balance abnormal pore pressures, the density of the drilling fluid is increased by adding a weight material (generally barite).
In summary, a drilling fluid consists of: The Base Liquid, Water – fresh or saline, Oil – diesel or crude, Mineral Oil or other synthetic fluids Dispersed Solids, Colloidal particles, which are suspended particles of various sizes Dissolved Solids and Usually salts, and their effects on colloids most is important. All drilling fluids have essentially the same properties, only the magnitude varies. These properties include density, viscosity, gel strength, filter cake, water loss, and electrical resistance.
Normal Drilling Fluids: Though this type of drilling fluid is easy to describe, it is hard to define and even more difficult to find. In the field, a normal fluid generally means there is little effort expended to control the range of properties. As such, it is simple to make and control. General rules include:
- It is used where no unexpected conditions occur
- The mud will stabilize, so its properties are in the range required to control hole conditions
- The chief problem is viscosity control
Formations usually drilled with this type of mud are shales and sands. Since viscosity is the major problem, the amount and condition of the colloidal clay is important. To do this, two general types of treatment are used:
Water soluble polyphosphates
- they reduce viscosity
- can be used alone or with tannins
- if filter cake and filtration control is required - add colloidal clay to system
Caustic Soda and Tannins
- they also reduce viscosity
- used under more severe conditions than phosphate treatment
Special Drilling Fluids: These drilling fluids are made to combat particular abnormal hole conditions or to accomplish specific objectives. These are:
- Special Objectives
- faster penetration rates
- greater protection to producing zones
- Abnormal Hole Conditions
- long salt sections
- high formation pressures
