Sustainability 2: Green Tyranny?
Original post made by Tom Cushing, Danville, on Apr 18, 2013
Rachel Carson's seminal book about the disastrous implications of DDT's tendency to "bio-accumulate" – move up the food chain with its poisonous effects intact, was a wake-up call to the world that 'better living through chemistry' sometimes wasn't. It demonstrated the interconnectedness of everything in the earthly realm, and suggested that being at the apex of all life forms did not imply insulation from those beneath. The book was a Defining Moment that gave impetus to mid-century environmentalism, which, up to that point, had been better known as the conservation movement.
So-called 'Green Tyranny' is a current rallying cry of those who fear that concern for human effects on the natural world is over-blown -- that counter-measures designed to sustain that world for future generations will impinge on today's precious liberties. Remember Walter Peck, the anatomically incorrect EPA inspector in Ghostbusters? He might be the archetype for these tyrannical Greens. Predictably, if ironically, the charge against sustainability is being led by the Tea Party.
The specific object of their concern is a 300-page document called "Agenda 21." Its saga begins roughly in the 1980s, when the term 'Gaia' took hold, in recognition of the fact that the earth is, ultimately, one circular system. One organism's waste (our exhaled CO2, for instance, as this is a family publication) is another's food, and around-and-around. That system does not respect man-made borders – 'Freon' escaping from our coolers carved a hole in the Antarctic ozone layer, for example, and pollution from China is detectable here.
The UN, then, took the lead in organizing transnational approaches to address these global concerns. Its conference in Rio in 1992 produced the Agenda, named for the 21st century. It was updated in later meetings, on its 10th and 20th anniversaries .
It's no mean feat to cobble together a document that can appeal to 192 countries in every region and stage of development. Obviously, 'sustainability' sounds different to folks in search of their next meal, or on the cusp of competing with big boys, than it does in Europe or here. And it is a truism in these multilateral negotiations that the language must remain general: more specifics usually means somebody will find a reason to opt-out, and generality may provide enough wiggle room that at least directional progress can be made.
In content, it's a voluntary undertaking, not a treaty (a problem for its foes, since it was never formally ratified), and divided into sections headed Social and Economic Dimensions, Resources, Empowering Major Groups and Implementation. For our purposes it's important to note that the first section seeks to integrate sustainability considerations into planning processes and encourage market-based mechanisms to reduce pollution and promote Agenda goals.
Section 2 deals with traditional environmental protection, broadly defined, while Part 3 notes the importance of empowering particularly NGOs and, notably, women, in pursuing these ends. Regarding Implementation, the Agenda reiterates its voluntary nature, committing its signatories only to 'continuous and constructive dialogue' in the 'delicate balance between environmental and developmental concerns.' The shorter 2010 update repeats the primary role of national policies, development strategies and the rule of law in pursuit of global sustainability.
So, what's not to like? I was frankly not sure, so I consulted the website of the East Bay Tea Party for direction. Among several Issues (which did not include forlorn and derelict billboards along 680, which may instead constitute an important private property right), was Green Tyranny. "Right now," it exclaims, "forces are working to eradicate the United States Constitution and give regulatory and political power to the United Nations and their vision for a global, one-world government."
But wait, there's more: according to the EBTP, more specifically: the UN, via Agenda 21 wants to dictate your car (if any!), where (and when!) you may travel, where you can live, where (and whether!) you may own property and how many offspring you may produce.
Now, if true, those claims would be deeply troubling, starting with the Constitution and ending with enforced family planning. So, I looked for any links on the site that would indicate how I missed all these dire outcomes in my quick review of the Agenda. And here's the problem: they do not exist. The site plays very fast and loose -- it is all fear-mongering contention, and no evidence. It does contain one linked passage critical of private property rights – but that sentence is from a different UN document written in 1976, 16 years before Agenda 21. And somehow our system of government has survived the intervening 38-year conspiracy. Perhaps others will come up with something to trouble my slumber in this regard, in the Comments?
Otherwise, I'll be left with just the irony of an organization that has bleated incessantly about the unconscionable consequences of the government debt we're leaving our grandchildren then turning both blind eyes to the global environmental catastrophe they are advocating. A national debt of any size will simply not matter in the context of calamities associated with an unsustainable planet, fifty years hence.
In the meantime, instead of gumming-up the local planning works with dark, unsupported warnings about sustainability conspiracies, perhaps the Tea Party faithful could take on fluoridation of our water, the Communist menace or maybe impeaching Earl Warren?
Synopsis: The concept of Sustainability is sustainable; Green Tyranny is not.

Agenda 21 is a great idea---for you guys. The world would be better off if people in the U.S. moved out of single family homes and into stack & pack housing near job centers.
Ideally, no one would have more than 900 square feet of living space. Less space to heat & cool. You'd need less furniture (likely made by slave labor in China out of wood illegally cut from endangered Indonesian forests).
You'd drive less, pollute less, walk more, interact with people. Roads wouldn't wear out as fast.
If you want to see Agenda 21 in action, head to Oslo, Stockholm, or Copenhagen. Don't stop at the Potemkin village they present to tourists, with the quaint shops, cafes, cobblestone streets, etc. Head out to where people really live. Better yet, as you fly in, look our your window at the endless sea of high rise apartments.
Personally, I would have a hard time adopting to this type of lifestyle. It's too late for guys like me. I've tasted the good life and I'm not giving it up. I love my 4,000 sq. ft. house, my swimming pool, my SUV, Costco, etc.
But you guys should do it. Go for it.
Obviously, people need incentives to adopt an Agenda 21 lifestyle. One popular way is to make suburban commutes miserable. And we've done this. We've essentially stopped building new freeways in California. And we've created 26 government agencies that must approve freeway expansions. And our environmental laws enable activist groups to greatly delay road and bridge expansions. California freeways cost triple to maintain than the U.S. average. We also take toll money and other taxes away from roads and fund things like San Jose light rail and San Ramon buses (that no one uses). That's a start.
We need to make suburban commuting more expensive. California already has the second highest gas taxes (after New York). We require a special gasoline blend that adds another 20 – 30 cents a gallon. And in 2015, when AB 32 kicks in, that should raise the price of California gasoline by another 18 cents. But gas is still much cheaper here than Europe. If we truly want to embrace Agenda 21, we should dramatically increase the price of fuel as Steven Chu, Obama's former energy secretary, suggested.
We also need to make suburban living more expensive. One way is to raise utility rates on family sized suburban homes. We're already doing this in California. If you have a typical Danville family size house, you'll use around 900 kWh of electricity per month, which is less than the U.S. average. But you must pay $0.34 kWh for most of that. The U.S. average is around $0.12 kWh. It costs PG&E around $0.05 kWh to deliver it to your home. Under California law, PG&E is allowed to charge you $0.34 kWh. This provides people a financial incentive to live in smaller homes so they'll use less electricity or switch to solar (which costs "only" $0.22 kWh). California law also requires PG&E to give financial subsidies to poor people. So, in effect, PG&E over-charges Danville family home owners so PG&E can give discounted electricity to small unit city dwellers. Spreading the wealth and saving the planet at the same time.
Increasing the cost of housing, education, and raising children will help people make the choice to have less children. We've eliminated the scenario where 25-year-old newlyweds buy $100,000 homes and multiply like they did in the 1950's. When people have no choice but to live in small apartments, they're less likely to have large families. Consider the benefits this could have on the environment:
Over his/her lifetime, each American born in the 1990s will produce an average of:
-- 3.1 million pounds of CO2 (same as 413 plane trips from New York to Tokyo)
-- 22,828,508 pounds of water waste (the equivalent of 48,060 10-minute showers)
-- 16,372 pounds of yard waste (enough to fill 442 large garbage cans)
-- 7,249 pounds of food waste (as much as 16 households produce in a year)
-- S/he will eat 1,654 chickens, 74 turkeys, 25 pigs, 11 cows, two sheep, and 18,675 eggs.
-- And s/he will use 1,870 barrels of petroleum (enough to fuel a Subaru Outback for 822,800 miles).
But we will never truly embrace Agenda 21 principles until we adopt a value added tax (VAT) as proposed by Nancy Pelosi and other forward thinking politicians. The U.S. is practically the only country in the world that does not have a VAT. That's why goods are so cheap here. We pay a fraction of the cost for consumer goods than what Europeans and the rest of the world pay. This makes suburban life affordable for the masses. If we want the earth to survive, we must stop this massive consumerism. A VAT would encourage people to consume less and also fund important social goals, like Obamacare.
Clearly, Tom is right. There is no dark conspiracy. Just common sense.

A Senator makes the religious case for taking action on climate change. Web Link
"...It is less an expression of religious thinking than it is of magical thinking. The statement that God won't allow us to ruin our planet sweeps aside ethics, responsibilities, consequences, duties, even awareness. It comforts us with the anodyne assumption that, no matter what we do, some undefined presence will, through some undefined measure, make things right, clean up our mess.
That is seeking magical deliverance from our troubles, not divine guidance through our troubles..."

Timber Hitch TyingPass the end of the rope around the pole and then around the standing end. Wrap the end around itself three times and tighten the knot so that the three turns are gripped against the pole.
Timber Hitch Details
Uses: The Timber Hitch is described by (Ashley ABOK #1665, p 290) as much used for handling cargo "... for which it is very convenient, as it practically falls apart when pull ceases." It is also useful when towing a spar or log either afloat or on land. When used for this purpose, the Timber Hitch is often placed near the center of the spar and a separate Half Hitch is dropped over the end of the spar to act as a guide.
Other Applications: The same hitch is known as a Bowyer's Knot because it attaches the end of the bow string on a longbow. It is also used to attach the strings on some stringed instruments including the ukelele and the guitar.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.

The neighbourhood of Gràcia is just one stop up from the top of Passeig de Gràcia but it feels like a whole different world. Gràcia was an independent town until the late 19th century and even now the community is small and tight. The people are exceedingly proud of their roots, they don't say they come from Barcelona, they say Gràcia.
The area is popular with artists and a generally bohemian crowd, it also has a high ethnic population and the highest concentration of foreign restaurants in Barcelona.
Plaça de Sol is the most renowned area of the neighbourhood, it's lined with terrace cafes and at night this is where the people convene to drink and be merry. However despite the trendy nature of Gràcia it is also a very traditional barrio with a large elderly population which makes for an amusing and odd mix - and very entertaining people-watching
All the Gracia streets are small and full of pedestrian areas, is a perfect neighborhood to discover by walk or bike if you like to move like a local!

Anyone have any ideas where to find glass gallon jars free or reasonable.

My 2 to 1 sugar water is crystalizing in feeder. Anyone know a remedy?
My 2 to 1 sugar water is crystalizing in feeder. Anyone know a remedy?
How long has it been in the feeder?
It's probably not 'crystalizing' like honey does-I'm thinking its probably just undisolved sugar thats left over in the syrup. 2:1 is incredibly thick and takes a lot of heat and a lot of stirring to get all the sugar disolved.
-Dan Williams
ALL of the sugar was thoroughly dissolved when I put it in there two days ago.
Humm I mix thousands of pounds of sugar syrup up a year and store it for weeks at a time and I've never seen it crystallize? So if you got it thoroughly dissolved I don't know...
-Dan Williams
If you are off in your measurements and add too much sugar, you'll no longer have 2:1 and the possibility of it crystallizing increases.
Here's a handy table: The Solubility Of The Sugars
Tony P.
There must be a harder way to do that... let me find it for you.
You need to dissolve the sugar better. Keep at it, becuase 2:1 is pretty thick; not abnormal though.
A little lemon juice or citric acid can help. The acidity will invert some of the sugars making them more soluble than plain table sugar.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
I did add a splash of vinegar. Also, I still have two quart jars full of the same batch sitting on my kitchen counter. They're both clear as glass and have no crystals whatsoever.
What ratio of vinegar/lemon juice does a person add per say gallon of 2-1?
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
citric acid or ascorbic acid per kilogram of sugar. But, the heating is really what inverts the mix.

the chart, even at the freezing point of water: 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius, 5:3 (a 60% sugar solution) will not crystallize.
I've switched to 5:3 (5 parts sugar to 3 parts water).
Tony P.
There must be a harder way to do that... let me find it for you.
also went to 5:3. goes into solution easy with hot tap water, still a little crystalization left in the bottom of the feeder after the syrup is gone.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Sorry to be so late with a reply, but I wanted to be sure that everything worked out. Y'all were right; my water was not hot enough when I added the sugar. I cleaned out the $15 "Plastic 10 Frame Hive Top Feeder" from Brushy Mountain on hive #5 by removing all of the sugar crystals with a heavy hose spray. Then I brought the two remaining quarts of 2/1 sugar water to a boil while stirring. I put it in two days ago, and there is no crystallization. My next batch will be 5:3 ratio, Thanks! Joe
BTW, FYI Some of you might remember my earlier writing how those Brushy Mountain feeders didn't work and had killed a lot of my bees. My son (owner of Hive #4) told me that his had worked great this spring... hmmmmmm, geeeeeee, surely it was not MY fault that they didn't work for me! Well, I figured it out (somehow ? it had to be my wife's fault)... Anyway, I have them on both hives #1 and #5, and there is no problem(s) with them whatsoever.423 PlasticTopFeedersm.jpg

So to convert a 2:1 syrup to 5:3?
If I have 20lbs to 10 pints I guess I would add 2 more pints to bring it to a 60% solution.
Yes, 20# sugar to 6 quarts water would be 5:3, i.e., 20#:12#.
Last edited by Hoosier; 08-24-2012 at 07:39 AM.
ETA You also have to make several sizes of boards to cover it and the top of the hive. I have five different sizes cut to cover all areas, depending on wherever I decide to place the feeder.

With certain exceptions, all persons and organizations that intend to do business as futures professionals must register under the Commodity Exchange Act (Act). The primary purposes of registration are to screen an applicant's fitness to engage in business as a futures professional and to identify those individuals and organizations whose activities are subject to federal regulation. In addition, all individuals and firms that wish to conduct futures-related business with the public must apply for NFA Membership or Associate status.
Depending on the business activity of your firm registration is required unless the FCM, SD, MSP, RFED, IB, CPO, CTA qualifies for an exemption. If you have any questions as to whether you qualify for a particular exemption from registration, you should seek guidance by referring to the appropriate section of the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Regulations or by consulting NFA registration personnel.
Requests for exemption or for "no action" opinions with respect to the applicable registration requirements should be submitted to the CFTC and a copy of any such request should be provided to NFA.
Click on the links below to obtain specific information to help you determine whether, by law, you are required to seek CFTC registration and, if so, in which category. Each link defines the business activity associated with the category, any exemptions for that category and lists forms and fees required for registration in the category.
How to register
Foreign entities that transact business directly with U.S. customers solely in futures contracts and commodity options traded on foreign exchanges are exempt from registration if:
To increase efficiencies, NFA has developed an Online Registration System (ORS) that allows firms and individuals to register with the CFTC and apply for NFA membership electronically. In most instances, ORS will issue a temporary license (TL) instantaneously to eligible AP applicants.
Templates of the electronic forms can be viewed, completed, downloaded and printed to assist in filing forms electronically using ORS. Notice registration forms and Form 8-W can also be viewed, completed, downloaded and printed and must be sent in hardcopy format to NFA for processing. To access the templates and forms, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
NFA has produced a series of educational video tutorials to help applicants and Members with the registration process.
NFA's Information Center is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST to answer your registration and ORS questions. Call (312) 781-1410 or toll-free at (800) 621-3570. You may also email inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The proposed study is a two-group randomized repeated measures design that will examine the efficacy of Project ACCEPT (Adolescents Coping, Connecting, Empowering and Protecting Together) to improve engagement in care among youth newly diagnosed with HIV at five AMTU sites across the United States. Youth will be randomized into one of two study arms; Project ACCEPT, the intervention, or HEALTH, the health education attention-controlled comparison condition. Both arms consist of two individual sessions followed by six group sessions and a final individual session which is expected to take approximately nine weeks after which youth will have four follow-up visits at the following time points:
- post intervention (immediately after the last session);
- 3 months post the last session;
- 6 months post the last session; and
- 12 months post the last session. The trial will be repeated in up to three waves.

Francofile: Talking with Sam Raimi

James Franco and his Spider-Man director swap gossip, memories and lessons learned from the set of their latest, Oz.

From cult horror films including The Evil Dead to his blockbuster Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi is a filmmaker who is hard to pigeonhole. His horror films are simultaneously vicious and humorous, and he invents entire grandiose worlds from his imagination—for example, Oz the Great and Powerful, which stars the great and powerful Playboy Contributing Editor James Franco in the title role. The two recently got together to chat about what went on behind the scenes of Spider-Man and how the director's messy style of filmmaking has turned into a huge advantage.
FRANCO: What does a director do when faced with developing effects and a story on the scale of Spider-Man or Oz? How do you figure it out?
RAIMI: Experiment, research, talk to experts. You try to explain to artists what you see. The process of directing is one of communication, explaining to the writer and cinematographer how it's supposed to feel. You communicate with actors about what they want and why. They then lend insight to the characters, because they're living them inside out. Your vision gradually becomes clearer.
FRANCO: I was a supporting character in all three of your Spider-Man films, and we've just finished Oz, in which I play the lead. I felt you gave Tobey Maguire so much attention during Spider-Man because of your feelings for his character, Peter Parker, that I didn't get as much of your love as he did. On Oz, for the first time I felt your full love as a director.
RAIMI: Yeah, I felt our communication went deeper with this picture.
FRANCO: There was one moment at the end of Spider-Man when we were in a cemetery in New York.
RAIMI: You always mention this.
FRANCO: Maybe I'm wrong about it. It was the last shot of the film, when the characters are burying Norman Osborn, my character's father. You wanted me to try a couple of different lines.
RAIMI: I'll have to check the film.
FRANCO: You said, "Say to Parker, 'You'll help me avenge my father; we'll do it together.'" It's not a bad line, but it sounded weird, so I didn't say it.
RAIMI: That's a mild way of putting it. You said, "I'm not saying that stupid line!"
FRANCO: In front of everybody.
RAIMI: But it's fine. I thought to myself, He knows who this character is. Maybe he realizes he would have more self-control than that and wouldn't make such a dramatic gesture. I never know why people say the things they do on set, but if an actor I respect doesn't want to do something, I try to find the truth behind it. You see that as a moment of disrespect, but I see it as being in touch with something. It was an emotional place. You were suffering, feeling anger toward your father, and you weren't about to say, "Sam, I don't know why, but this feels wrong." And that's okay.
FRANCO: Tobey and Kirsten Dunst became a couple around that time. I had a crush on Kirsten, and I think I was upset about that as well.
RAIMI: Oh, I didn't know that. Gee, that's just like the movie.
FRANCO: Exactly. Tobey was mad at me for a while. By the second film we were cool, but that's another reason I felt hurt, with you giving Tobey all the attention.
RAIMI: And he was getting Kirsten, like the script said he should.
FRANCO: Yes. You were the father who wouldn't give me the love I needed.
RAIMI: Maybe I had to play Norman, the father, a bit. And you had to play your character, without that father.
FRANCO: Yeah, that's weird. Let's talk about Oz. When you were given the script, what did you think you needed to accomplish?
RAIMI: I thought, How does this carnival magician, this charlatan, become great? What seeds are here? I boiled it down to the story of a selfish man who becomes a selfless man and therefore a great wizard, someone who starts caring about other people more than himself. Then I knew how to handle it. I found what I loved about the movie and then enhanced the drama in every scene I could. On set I'd say, "James, how can we keep this struggle of selfishness versus selflessness alive?" How can we keep it realistic and do what the story asks, then go to that next level and keep his conscience alive so the ultimate moment is one the audience has been wrestling with, in the big and small, throughout the journey? If you can do that, it works for me. It's in the fabric of everything.
FRANCO: I've found your working style is free-flowing, at least with actors. But there's another side of you that's incredibly meticulous. How do you balance those different approaches?
RAIMI: The best performances happen when you let actors follow their instincts, which is absolutely counter to my job as a director to tell a concise story. I'm always at odds with myself. I need the brilliance of actors without constraints, but I need the formal structure of a well-told narrative. When actors run wild, it yields great performances but destroys structure. What I'm left with is a beautiful thing that needs help. I have to repair that structure afterward, usually more than most directors, because I let it get crazier on set than most. But I'm not afraid of outrageous expressions from actors anymore. It's the seed of greatness. And I don't want to see how brilliant that performance will be ahead of time. I want it to be more brilliant than I could ever imagine.

General GMAT Test-taking Techniques
You may have heard that you can't study for the GMAT. But that's just not true! There are a bunch of things you can do to prepare yourself, and the more time you spend, the better your scores will be. In our first lesson, you'll learn everything you need to know about the general makeup of GMAT so you'll know exactly what you're getting into come test day. You'll learn how to relax when you start feeling panicky, how to eliminate the wrong answers the tests try to entice you to choose, how to guess when you're not sure of the right answer, and how much time to spend on each question.Overview of GMAT Sections
If you're not familiar with the kinds of GMAT questions in the different sections, you'll know exactly what to expect once we're finished with this lesson. You'll get a taste of the format of reading comprehension, sentence correction, and critical reasoning questions, as well as the analytical writing section. We'll also cover problem solving and data sufficiency questions in the quantitative section and introduce the question types found in the integrated reasoning section. Then we'll go over the information in much more detail in upcoming lessons.
Reading Comprehension: Questions and Practice
You've been reading since first grade, but that's not enough experience to get you ready for the GMAT passage-based reading questions. There's more to these babies than just reading a passage and working through its questions, and after you finish this lesson, you'll have the tools you need to develop your own personal reading strategy.
You'll learn how to glide through even the most sleep-producing reading topics by focusing on what's important and ignoring what's not. Then you'll find out how to eliminate answers that hook other unprepared test-takers and spot the distracters the test-makers use to make wrong answers seem right. After that, we'll steer through GMAT reading comprehension passages that have appeared on past tests to give you a step-by-step approach for getting the most information from the passages in the least amount of time. We'll finish the lesson by practicing these skills on actual GMAT reading questions, and you'll have the opportunity to discuss your efforts with your instructor and classmates.
Sentence Correction: Questions and Practice
The GMAT has some multiple-choice question types (called sentence correction questions) that test your grammar and English usage skills. In this lesson, we'll go over a detailed strategy for tackling each of them. You'll learn what errors crop up most commonly in the given sentences so you can focus your attention on what's important, and you'll find out what questions are best to skip if you notice that you're running short of time. Knowing the rules of grammar is essential to maximizing your score on sentence corrections, and this lesson gives you the goods. But it won't bore you with every grammar rule known (or unknown) to the English-speaking public. We'll only review the rules that are most commonly tested on the GMAT
Critical Reasoning: Questions and Practice
You may not have seen the GMAT critical reasoning questions before. Even though they may be unfamiliar, by the time you've completed this lesson, you'll know just how to tackle them, and they may just end up being your favorite GMAT test questions! In this lesson, we'll review the elements of a logical argument and the major types of inductive arguments you'll see on the GMAT. Then we'll go through step-by-step instructions on how to examine each type of argument and pick the best answer to each question.
Analytical Writing: Assessment and Practice
For years, MBA programs have complained that students don't know how to write. So you're going to give them a sample of the way you write before you even get to graduate school. If the thought of writing a complete analysis of an argument in about a half an hour has you running for the hills, don't despair. Today, we'll go over a specific plan for making the most of your time so you can prove to the admissions committee of your favorite graduate program that you can put your thoughts together in a cohesive and interesting essay.
And before you impress the GMAT essay readers, you'll get a chance to wow your peers. During this lesson, you'll compose sample essays and share them with your instructor and classmates for review. You'll also get the chance to read what other test-takers write and provide them with your enlightened commentary!
Arithmetic and Algebra Review
You learned arithmetic in grade school, but you may have forgotten some of the basics that you'll see on the GMAT math. Don't worry, we'll review all the essentials in this lesson. We'll go over a lot of the things you probably remember, like how to perform multiplication and division, as well as some of the things that might be a little fuzzy, like exponents and fractions. The GMAT also tests your knowledge of standard algebra. We'll go over variables, factoring, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff so that you know exactly what you need to answer the many algebra-related questions the GMAT has to offer.
Geometry and Advanced Mathematical Concepts
This lesson covers linear geometry, geometric shapes and measurements, coordinate geometry, statistics, and more. If you can't remember (or never learned) the difference between mean, median, and mode, this lesson will help you!
Problem Solving Questions
In today's lesson, we'll focus on the most common type of GMAT math question—the multiple-choice question. Through a thorough examination of GMAT math questions from previous tests, you'll learn how to work through all kinds of multiple-choice math. You'll be whipping through the answer choices in no time!
Data Sufficiency Questions
The quantitative portion of the GMAT contains a question type that doesn't appear on any other major standardized test. It's called the data sufficiency question because instead of figuring out the answer to a math problem, you have to determine whether the information provided is sufficient to figure out the answer to the math problem. If this sounds a bit complex, don't worry! We'll go through a step-by-step chart to help you flow through these problems, and you'll get plenty of practice on prior GMAT data sufficiency test questions.
Quantitative Practice
We'll go over a lot of information in this six-week course, and you probably won't remember all of it, even with all of the additional work you put into each lesson. So in this lesson, we'll go back over all of the tips and strategies you'll need to know to do your best on the math questions on the GMAT. You'll also take a practice test.
Integrated Reasoning and Course Wrap-Up
Today we'll cover the newest section of the GMAT: integrated reasoning. We'll also talk about test-taking techniques so you can do as well as possible on the test.

HRT Falls 14% After Surprise CEO Resignation
Look out below.
Shares of HRT Participacoes em Petroleo (HRTPY) have plunged 13.6% to $1.02 after its CEO resigned unexpectedly, and was replaced by Muilton Francke. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Franke takes over for founder Marcio Rocha Mello, who resigned as CEO late Friday. The company's board of directors opposed Mr. Mello's decision and had asked him to reconsider, but he ultimately declined. Mr. Mello will remain as a member of the company's board of directors...
Last week, HRT completed the purchase of a 60% stake in the Polvo offshore oil field in Brazil. HRT paid the local unit of BP Plc (BP) $135 million for the stake in the field, which produces about 13,000 barrels per day. HRT owns a 55% interest in 21 exploratory blocks in Brazil's Solimoes Basin. The company also operates 10 exploration blocks off the coast of Namibia and holds minority interest in two others. In April, HRT started drilling its first well in Namibia.
Tudor Pickering offers its thoughts:
...the timing may ring some alarm bells as there are two material well results due in the coming weeks: the Wingat well in Namibia (GALP PL read-through) and the Cajazeira well in the Solimoes basin. HRT reports results after close tomorrow.
Shares of HRT have dropped 60% during the past 12 months, while the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped Index ETF (EWZ) has fallen 3.4%.

OK I think I just figured something out! I think you can use a FAL FCG for this, or something very similar. It would just need to be "thin" enough to fit in the empty space on the side.
Here is my idea:
Lay the hammer and disconnector on their RH side, LH side facing up.
Modify both the disconnector and the trigger to add a 45 degree slope on their adjoining lip. The trigger may need a slightly taller back-end, which may need to be farther to the side.
The action is identical to a normal FAL action. The difference it that both the disconnector and hammer axis is vertical, and the sloped face of the trigger pushes upward, forcing the disconnector to move left-right on its vertical axis.
The trigger frame could contain the ends of the axis pins, the tops of which could be set into holes in that blocking shim.
Modify the shape of the hammer to fit.
For the spur that prevents out-of-battery misfires, a block could be placed on the carrier in that area in-between the top of the recoil spring and the bottom of the bolt. There is a threaded hole there. That hole could be the mount point for the spur. The spur would be oriented like the AK's in such a way that the hammer cannot touch the firing pin until the bolt is in battery.
I'm sure that would work!
Are you saying a totally new grip housing and throw away the old? I don't think I would need a new grip housing. What I would do is yank the guts out of the existing housing and replace with the FAL trigger .

Substitutions may be necessary to ensure your arrangement or specialty gift is delivered in a timely manner. The utmost care and attention is given to your order to ensure that it is as similar as possible to the requested item.
Why do substitutions occur?
Occasionally, specific varieties of flowers or colors of a certain variety may be out of stock or not available. There are hundreds of flower arrangements ad bouquets shown on our website and unfortunately every flower in every color cannot be kept in stock at all times. In the event that something is not available for your arrangement, the designer will select either the same flower in a similar color or another flower in the same color. In all scenarios, the original style and color scheme will be followed as close as possible.
In arrangements of assorted flowers, the colors shown online will be used if at all possible, even if this means substituting other kinds of flowers of equal or greater value.
Just as all flowers are not always available, specific containers or unique vases may not always be in stock either. This is most common during peak times such as holidays when containers often sell out. If your selected container is not available, the designer will select a container that is as close as possible to your selected container.

On Friday, November 16, 2012, the Medical College of Wisconsin's (MCW) Board of Trustees authorized MCW's leadership to begin contract negotiations for program site locations in the Green Bay and Central Wisconsin regions for MCW's community-based medical education programs.
In both regions, MCW identified facilities at multiple locations for classrooms and offices, learning laboratories, clinical simulation centers, student services and support, interprofessional training, clinical experiences and physician residency training programs. The medical education programs in both regions would partner with and engage physicians and faculty members from area colleges and universities and health systems.
"Outstanding site options exist in both regions," said John R. Raymond, Sr., MD, president and CEO of MCW. "We are very grateful for the high level of interest, innovation, and thoughtfulness that went into the creation of the various options in the Central Wisconsin and Green Bay regions. Truly, we were presented with many outstanding options. Preferred sites have been identified in both regions and we will begin the negotiation process. If need be, we have the flexibility to develop our programs at other superior site locations."
Dr. Raymond noted, "We have determined that the strongest approach in both Central Wisconsin and Green Bay is to have components of the programs at several locations."
Site plans may be adapted or expanded based on the size and quality of the student applicant pool, curriculum design, budget, community needs, and opportunities for interprofessional training.
Concept papers for specific siting options were submitted by community leaders and institutions in both regions. A facility review team from MCW conducted preliminary site surveys at each proposed site and developed budget specifications that included anticipated costs for construction, equipment and technology at each site.
In addition, MCW's senior leaders identified the top sites in each region based on cost, branding, community support and long-term growth opportunities. Student and faculty amenities were evaluated during site visits by MCW students, resident physicians, and faculty members.
Green Bay Region
MCW will begin negotiations with St. Norbert College in DePere to share space in St. Norbert's planned new science building for the medical education program's classrooms, offices, and learning laboratories. It is anticipated that Green Bay area medical students also would have access to student services and support (health service, counseling, library, etc.) at St. Norbert.
Negotiations will be conducted to locate a clinical simulation center at Bellin College in Green Bay. Future plans include the development of interprofessional training programs for MCW's medical students and Bellin College's health professional programs.
MCW plans to work with its academic partners in the Green Bay region (University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, St. Norbert College and Bellin College) and possibly other academic institutions to identify science faculty members for the medical education program. Physician faculty members would be from Aurora BayCare Medical Center, Bellin Health, and Hospital Sisters Health System – Northeast Division/Prevea Health (St. Vincent Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital). Physicians from other health systems in the region may also be engaged in the medical education program.
The Green Bay area's three major health systems and the VA Outpatient Clinic would be the sites for both medical school clinical training as well as resident physician training. Clinical training may be expanded to other sites in the region.
MCW would work with faculty at UW-Green Bay, St. Norbert, Bellin College and possibly other academic institutions to create medical school pipeline programs for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in medicine.
Central Wisconsin
It is planned that MCW's community-based medical education program in Central Wisconsin would have components offered in Marshfield, Stevens Point, Wausau and possibly other Central Wisconsin communities such as Wisconsin Rapids.
Negotiations will be conducted to locate classrooms and offices at the Liberty Mutual Building #1 in Wausau. The facility also provides space for the development of future interprofessional health sciences training programs.
Student services and support would be located at both the Liberty Mutual Building #1 and at the University of Wisconsin – Marathon County in Wausau.
MCW will negotiate with Northcentral Technical College in Wausau for space designated for medical student learning laboratories and the clinical simulation center.
Opportunities for interprofessional training would be explored with the University of Wisconsin – Madison's physician assistant training program offered at UW - Marathon County, Marshfield Clinic's proposed School of Dentistry, and the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire's Doctor of Nursing Practice program.
Science faculty members would be identified from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, University of Wisconsin – Marathon County, University of Wisconsin – Marshfield/Wood County, and Northcentral Technical College. Clinical faculty members would be physicians from Aspirus, Ministry Health Care, and Marshfield Clinic. Faculty members and physicians from other academic institutions and health systems in Central Wisconsin, including Riverview Hospital Association, may also be engaged in teaching.
Medical students would receive their clinical education at Aspirus, Ministry Health Care, and Marshfield Clinic, as well as other potential health care providers in the region. Central Wisconsin health systems also would develop physician residency training positions.
Pipeline programs to prepare undergraduate students for medical school would be developed with UW – Stevens Point, UW – Marathon County, UW – Marshfield/Wood County, Northcentral Technical College, and possibly other academic institutions.
Joseph E. Kerschner, MD, MCW's dean of the medical school and executive vice president, said, "MCW is developing community advisory boards in both Central Wisconsin and Green Bay to assist with the development and implementation of the local medical education programs. The community advisory boards also will advise me in the selection of a community campus dean in both regions." Volunteers to the community advisory boards will represent healthcare and educational affiliates of the program, as well as representatives from the broader community including physician leaders, business, education institutions, government entities and/or civic organizations.
The estimated cost to develop medical education programs in both regions is approximately $11-12 million per region. MCW's community-based medical education programs in both Central Wisconsin and Green Bay are targeted to open in July 2015, pending completion of required milestones: curriculum development, accreditation, funding, governance structure, faculty recruitment and development, creation of additional residency training positions, and formalization of agreements with local health systems and academic institutions.
In the first year, enrollment at both campuses will target 15 students with class sizes increasing to at least 25 students in subsequent years. An immersive medical education model is planned; students would complete their entire required medical education coursework in either Central Wisconsin or Green Bay. Opportunities will exist for elective coursework that can be taken at other medical school campuses.
The Medical College of Wisconsin's expansion into Green Bay and Central Wisconsin is in response to projections of a significant physician shortage in Wisconsin over the next 20 years. Extensive studies by the Wisconsin Hospital Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Wisconsin Office of Rural Health project serious shortages, particularly in primary care and in rural and urban underserved areas.

Introducing: Reema Major
In this history of heralding upcoming rapstresses here in Beastonia, I've covered a pretty fair portion of spitters, stylers and scenesters, but none of have come as young as the one we're super geeking out about right now. Back in early '09, it was 17 year old Azealia Banks who turned my head and ear. 2010 has belonged to 19 year old Dominique Young Unique's super steez, but today, it's 15 year old Reema Major who's getting the Beaston stamp of approval.
The Toronto-based teen hit the Canadian scene by way of Kansas City, but don't let her North American homebase fool you: Major speaks Arabic and Tribal Tongue (Sudan) in addition to native English. Apparently she was also born in a jail cell...whoa. Reema's already released two singles, Gucci Bag and Arabian Princess, to a limited online outlet, but recently, she's found a fan not only in this blogger, but also in rock legend Gene Simmons. Headscratch, what? Here's what the tongued-one has to say:
Two days ago, I was in Toronto doing promotion and media for our first signing, THE ENVY…
While there, Universal's Mark Spicoluk suggested that I meet REEMA MAJOR and Kwajo, head of G7 Records. We met at the hotel… and, well… I was awe struck. I've been around the music industry for 37 years. There is a phrase — maybe you've heard it…"EITHER YOU'VE GOT IT… OR YOU DON'T."
And Reema Major has "it."
She is all of 15 years old. She was born in a jail cell. She raps. She struts. She IS style. Reema, Kwajo and the G7 crew met to talk about our interest in signing Reema. And then we decided to go get some Starbucks, which was next door. The excitement that Reema caused was immediate and overwhelming. A crowd gathered right away. A television crew picked up on the excitement, and we were interviewed on the street. We, at Simmons/Universal, intend on putting the full court press on this ARTIST, which is what she is.
You will be hearing a lot about her. Remember her name – REEMA MAJOR.
Holy moly, when Simmons speaks, we listen, but when Reema Major spits, we freaking pay attention! You can download Major's Youngest in Charge mixtape for free here. Also check out this freestyle she spits on a recent radio show. It's dope like whoa.
Can't wait to hear what comes next out of this emerging talent!

Ok I think that I am figuring out this signature block. We would make a block out of the material we are using and then share it with everyone on the list. Then we will take these squares and use them for our backing. Is this correct?
If so, then I am in. I think that I would find it fun to make one for everyone on the list. But I also understand that this is something in the thinking stage and will not be actual until after summer or later????? Right???

The work of Rivane Neuenschwander is uncommonly poetic and beautiful yet tinged with a hint of the mortal. In works that range from installation and drawing to video and photography, she uses simple means, often taken from the natural and organic world—garlic husks, culinary spices, coconut soap, rice paper—for maximum magic. Growing up in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, she often played with the insects, arachnids, and other small animals that populated her childhood haunts, and they have now become a frequent component of her artistic process. Metaphorically charged, these collaborations across species are also based necessarily on principles of chance and negotiation.
The artist created Carta Faminta (Starving Letters) (2000) with the help of snails she collected at a church in Stockholm during a residency at the International Artists Studio Programme in Sweden. These seven drawings were produced as the snails, with some guidance by the artist, ate through pieces of Chinese rice paper, leaving behind trails of silvery slime on half-eaten sheets that suggest pages of a forgotten atlas.
In Portuguese, Neuenschwander's first language, carta means both map and letter. A frequent traveler, she speaks of the period just after arrival in a new place as a time of suspended animation while she adjusts to the new sensations of place, custom, and language.1 She has to find her place on the map. Always somewhat imaginary, maps are often a form of wish fulfillment promising discovery, invention, conquest. From the comfort of our armchairs, they may evoke distant lands, foreign tongues, and exotic tastes, which can be both inviting and anxiety-provoking.
A world in our hands and our heads, these cartographic letters speak to that space in between our cravings and our fears, our feelings and our ability to express them, our impulse toward boundless exploration and our sometimes guilty search for that which is familiar. Each drawing, a poetic meditation on place, empire, and desire, is also a free-floating Rorschach test gnawing at that empty space in the belly of our imagination. A letter, a map, a destiny unfulfilled.
Neuenschwander, interview with the author, March 2001. ↩

Steve looks like a real yank !!!!!
There was no one in central park ...... where is everyone ?
Still no movement.....
Loading Map
New York is AWESOME!! so much to see and do, and around every corner there is something new.. or bizarre to look at.
Today the weather started out perfect - cold, snow still on the pavements, but sunny and visability was good so we headed up the Empire State Building to the viewing platform on the 86th floor. We had to queue for what seemed like an eternity, but eventually got up top to see the views. The sun had buggered off by the time we got up there, and it was trying to snow again, but thankfully the clouds stayed away so we got to see just exactly how big New York is..
We also did a little shopping today, Steve got himself a nice 'man bag' from Zara.. now he just needs to find a man to put in it!!! We then headed into the 'I love New York' shops where they sell all the crap, but you just have to buy. We both found ourselves beach bags, and I bought my cousin Sam a little something!! - Sam - you're going to be so amazed with your present.
All we seem to be doing in New York is EAT EAT EAT! the food is amazing, but i have a feeling i will be harpooned when I arrive on the beach in Hawaii... I am currently sat in my bunkbed eating a whole punnet of grapes, to try to force a 'movement!!!' As the title of this blog explains, I have not totally 'adjusted' to the whole eat and expel routine of New York eating. I guess as the food is so good, it wants to stay put... anyway, enough of my bowels!!
We are having such an amazing time here, and we have lots to look forward to.. VEGAS tomorrow!!! wahoooooo!!! i will definately be trying to steal Mike Tyson's tiger at some point... Both Steve and I are loving our bunks in the Pod Hotel, and our maid (who we have named Juanitia!!) is looking after us lots, making our beds every day, folding my pink moo cow pj's, and steve's smalls and leaving them on our pillows for us. Definately will be tipping her! Will be starfishing in our hotel in Vegas tomorrow as we will have a queen bed each in our room!
Right, we have both sorted out our bags, as I am not going to be happy if i get overcharged on the plane again tomorrow... so tonight we head out for our last night in New York. Back to Times Square to the lights, restaurants, hustle and bustle, Levi shop - did I mention I bought some Levis yesterday!!!!??? only $60!!!! - so maybe heading back there for another purchase as it would be criminal not to at that price!!.... and we're going to catch a movie.. or show if we can get cheap tickets!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures

Reviews of this property
Comfortable location. Bus station is very close and it takes about half an hour to get city centre and airport. Also there are some fancy restaurants around. All necessary facilities are available for usage and landlady is extremely helpful and polite.
Perfect stay, quiet place with regular bus connection to city center.
The room was spacious, the common bathroom clean and the kitchen amenities usefull. The only drawback I found was, that there was no chair or even a stand in the room.
It was definately worth its money, and thus recommended for a short or longer stay.
My stay in liverpool was fantastic. Carmel was great and very helpful. The room is very nice and has everything you need. From Liverpool Lime Street, to Anfield, and the Pier Head, they're all just 20 minutes away on bus. In my opinion you can't beat this room at such a good price. I highly recommend staying here! Thanks Carmel!
We had a great time at Carmel's house.
She's very kind and a wonderful host. Very helpfull with tips about Liverpool.
Thanks for receiving us, Carmel!
Laura & Pablo
Our stay in Liverpool was really nice. Carmel's house is really comfy and clean and our room was lovely. It's very easy to get to the city centre and back by bus (~ 15 min) but it would probably take about an hour by foot. There are shopping facilities for groceries nearby (although breakfast is provided) and you can use the kitchen 24/7. Unfortunately we only saw Carmel for a couple of minutes, but she seemed really nice and helpful. Would stay there again.
Very friendly and helpful host, plus perfect location with easy travel options both to Liverpool centre as well as to the airport. Katerina
Hello Carmel,
we are back to Germany! Your Bed with Breackfirst was very good! These days at your home-we will never forget.many greeting to you and Penny Lane, Klaus&Claudia

The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.

It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

I've visited this web sight a few times and today a new friend (iddee) who is a member here suggested that I register as a member.
I am part owner in a small family farm; We farm Boer goats Orchard grass hay several acres of garden and now a small but growing bee operation in Union county North Carolina.
I manager a feed mill for Perdue Farms Inc (As my day job) and farm the rest of my leisure time away. The bees are not a new item to the farm but we never spent any time learning why we lost so many hives in years past (actualy had little to no time left to spend.)
The new hives have sparked a new interest in learning all I can to keep them alive and healthy. I hope to be a master bee-keeper at some point in life and would sure appreciate any advice from the pro's.
I prefer to learn as many natural treatments and remedies as possible for general bee hive problems but I'll sure be thankful for any good advice..

Great apartment. Very clean and excellent location. Close to metro, easy walking to many sights. Staff was responsive and quick to attend to our needs. Would stay here again! Only thing to consider in the heat of the summer is that with windows open it would be noisy from the street.
We were a group of 6 adults and a 4 yr old and stayed in the apartment for 5 nights.
Plus points- great location, the apartment was on the 4th floor and there was no disturbance from the road below, unless u left all the windows open. Even then not too bad.the apartment was newly refurbished and all the fittings were good.
There is one bedroom with a double bed which is a good size. The second double bed is in the mezzanine level with no doors. The mezzanine level has a ensure but with no toilet.
The sofa bed was of vey good quality and had a proper mattress.towels and fresh sheets were provided. There was internet available.there was good communication from them. An agent named Christian was there to welcome us and went through the fittings with us. My fault was to rush him through it and not get all the details.
Minus points- not a lot really. The lift to the apartment is from the first Floor and can only fit 2 people at a time or one with luggage. Not a real problem. The main problem was that there was only one toilet,As we were the first people to stay there after refurbishment there were a few niggling issues which I am sure they will sort out
Eine tolle, saubere Location für eine Parisbesichtigung. Wir waren zwei Ehepaare mit zwei wissbegierigen Jungs. Von hier aus kann man die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen und für eine Pause kurz in die Wohnung zurückkehren. Auch die Besichtigung von Disneypark geht auf Grund der Metro und RER Nähe wunderbar. Die Abwicklung und Buchung samt Schlüsselübergabe funktionierte super einfach. Danke für diese schöne Erfahrung.

Very well situated apartment for 4 to 5. Would happily stay there again on my next trip!
Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
Everything worked perfect.
It was easy to pick up the keys, and we were very satisfied with the appartement.
It was well ecuiped with all what we needed.
It was very closed to everything, the baker, shops with food and cafe's.
We can highly recommend this appartement.
Everything in the apartment worked perfectly, it is exactly as it is in the pictures. Very close to many great places to eat, the metro/RER, grocery stores, shops, and most major attractions are walking distance
The only complaint is also a plus. The apartment is right in the middle of everything, but it can be noisy later at night (especially weekend) and mid morning with tour groups going by. It did not bother me, but I could see how a light sleeper might have a problem with it.
Marvelous apartment, the landlady Diane is extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything worked smoothly.
Highly recommended
The flat was pleasantly decorated and clean. Good location, just by Notre Dame and Boulevard St Michel, and this is a very good asset of course. Unfortunately a very noisy musical bar underneath in the street played loud music until the early hours in the morning. Three of the rings in the cooker did not work from the very beginning of our stay, and the handbook instructions about this particular appliance were not too precise, so we had to work out how to operate the only working ring, it took a while. We indicated this to the agency, but the cooker was not repaired during our stay. The coffee machine did not work from the very beginning of our stay, but it was replaced a couple of days after we arrived. The area is full of restaurants of all types and prices. For us a good point was bookshops nearby, and walking distance from the Centre Pompidou library. The flat was well furnished with plates and pots. The shower cubicle is rather comfortable in size, and the main bed is big and provided with a comfortable mattress. The heating system was efficient. There is a big television set. Wifi internet worked only sporadically for the first half of our stay, but it was fine in the last few days. All in all, we had a pleasant stay despite the problems indicated here.
recommendable !

I was actually really impressed with this kit because it gave a complete package of everything I needed! I hadn't previously used any products from this brand before and the scents are sooo good! I travel a lot and the size was perfect. Started with my face, washed my hair, cleaned my body, shaved after the shower and topped my hair with the gel. I already bought a full size of the shampoo for my apartment, just saying.5

Cloth diapers come in many different shapes and sizes. For someone who is jumping into the cloth diapering world for the first time, it can be a challenge (though also kind of fun!) to wade through all the options to choose a diaper that will work well for you, especially when you have to decode all the industry lingo that is often used to describe cloth diapers.
For those of you who are exploring your cloth options for the first time, or who would simply like some categorical clarification, we give you the diaper dictionary!
All cloth diapers fall into one of two basic categories: 1-piece or 2-piece.
1 wrap + 1 insert or fitted diaper = a 2-piece diaper. The image above also shows the Bio-Soft liner on top.
Inserts generally come in different sizes, and are available in a variety of fabrics. The most common fabrics are cotton, organic cotton, bamboo and hemp. Compared to flats, prefold inserts are much more common in contemporary cloth diapering since they are so simple and user-friendly.
We recommend using inserts with an adjustable wrap. When fastened snugly, the wrap will hold the insert in place. If using an insert with a pull-on style wrap, a Snappi will be necessary to hold the diaper in place.
Advantages of inserts: versatile, easy to wash, quick to dry, extremely durable, simple, very affordable.
Advantages of fitted diapers: complete coverage for increased leak protection, diaper fastens securely, no folding, can be worn with pull-on wraps.
Advantages of 2-piece diapers: versatile, customizable, less laundry (insert or diaper must be washed after each use, but wrap can be rinsed, hung to dry, and then put back into rotation), easy to use, easy to wash, quick to dry, natural fibres against babys skin, many affordable options, durable.
Whereas in a 2-piece diaper the waterproof exterior and absorbent interior are two separate pieces, in a 1-piece diaper they have been sewn together into a single unit. There are two basic styles of 1-piece diapers: pockets and all-in-ones (AIO).
*Although most pocket diapers actually consist of two separate pieces, they are generally categorized as a 1-piece diaper, probably because they look like a single unit once the liner is stuffed into the pocket.
Advantages of pocket diapers: Very easy to use, OS diapers can be used from birth to potty, pockets can be stuffed in advance for quicker diaper changes.
Advantages of All-in-ones: As easy as disposable diapers, sized versions are very trim-fitting, no stuffing or folding.
