Help! Why Do My Cloth Diapers Stink?

Why Do my Cloth Diapers Smell?

If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, “My cloth diapers stink, how do fix it?” I’d be able to retire early.

So why do your cloth diapers smell? While there can many root causes, cloth diapers stink because they are still dirty, and the only way to fix them is to get them clean.

Almost everyone who has cloth diapered has had to deal with a stinky diaper now and then, so don’t think that anyone is saying you’re not trying to clean your diapers properly. Just know that while there are many solutions to smelly diapers, the root of the problem is that something is preventing them from getting as clean as you’re trying to get them.

Are stinky diapers really a problem?

Yes! Think about it, if smelly diapers are dirty diapers, and diapers are most often soiled by urine and feces, then dirty diapers hold ammonia and bacteria. If this kind of stuff builds up on your diapers and is left to fester, irritation and rashes may be the next problems you need to battle.

Can I use scent boosters or essential oils in my cloth diaper laundry to help?

You CAN use them, but you REALLY shouldn’t.

First, let me just say that adding perfumes and scents to things you put on your baby (especially that baby’s genitalia) is not something I recommend as their skin is very sensitive.  With that said and out of the way, after hearing from a few dozen cloth diaper moms who have used scent boosters regularly, the consensus is that they don’t cause major issues. I’m not 100% convinced that over the long-term they are not doing damage, but since I never touch the stuff (the insanely strong smell just turns my stomach even though I’m not one of those down-with-perfume people), I have to go with those who have actually used them. They say, you can use them.

Let’s go back to the start, and remember that smelly diapers are dirty diapers. In fact, smell is often the first indication of a washing problem. Covering that warning sign with scents and perfumes means that likely the first indication of a problem you’ll have is a rash on your baby’s private parts. At this point in the problem, you may also need a tougher solution, which will take more of your time and effort.

In my opinion, it’s way better to avoid a rash and more work by letting the natural smell of your diapers let you know if everything is chugging along of if there’s a problem.

As for essential oils, there will be no real big functional problem if you use a few drops here or there, but again, you may be shooting yourself in the foot by masking a problem rather than fixing it.

How do I fix smelly diapers?

Knowing what type of smell you’re battling can help. An amonia smell (not a pee smell, but an actual ammonia, burn your nose hairs off kind of smell) can either medical, or if it’s wash related, most often a detergent amount problem. A “barnyard” smell on the other hand, usually suggests a storage or washing routine issue.

For help with Ammonia smells, click here to read a post all about it’s causes and fixes.

If it’s barnyard stink that’s your problem, keep reading.

Trying all of these fixes in the order that they appear will fix any smell issue at the root. Work down this list and you should land on the solution that gets rid of the problem once and for all, before complicating the issue with more advanced solutions farther down the list.

1. Wash your diapers again, with detergent.

Sometimes, things happen. Machines glitch, babies get sick and dehydrated, diaper bags are particularly hot and humid that week, etc. and the result is that your diapers didn’t get as clean as they should have with your regular wash. But not every situation needs a major change to your routine.

If your diapers have been fine, but then suddenly and randomly stink one day, try washing them again and see if that solves it. If your diapers come out clean and stay that way for several washes you’re probably ok. An extra wash once in a blue moon will be a lot easier to handle than changing soaps, routines, stripping, etc. so try this first.

2. Make sure you’re storing your dirty diapers correctly

How you store your diapers can make a big difference in how clean they can get in the wash.

The cooler and dryer you can keep your diapers before wash day, the better. Heat and moisture not only allow for bacteria to breed, but also speed up the decomposition of urine into ammonia.

To keep diapers cool, make sure to keep your wet bag /diaper pail out of direct sunlight and away from vents and other sources of heat.

Keeping your your wet bag open can also help and/or making sure your diaper pail has some ventilation is a good idea.

3. Evaluate if you’re washing often enough

Even when stored correctly, cloth diapers need to be washed every three to four days at minimum, and even less when stored in a container that’s airtight (like a Diaper Dekor or other enclosed diaper pail).

The longer a diaper sits, the more time bacteria can grow and mildew can begin to form.

The more frequent you can wash the better, but ideally, you want to wash every one to two days, or as soon as you have enough of a load of laundry to meet your washer’s minimum capacity. Any longer than three days will lead to problems with smell and/or mildew and mold.

4. Double-check your detergent choice and how much you’re using

  • Are you using a homemade detergent?
  • Does your detergent have fabric softeners added?
  • If you have an HE machine, is your detergent made for HE machines

All of these detergent choices lead to washing problems for different reasons. If you’re using one of these and getting a smell from your diapers it’s definitely time to consider switching to another detergent.

If however, you’re using a good, strong detergent with no softeners, which is suitable for your machine, it might be time to take a look at the amount of detergent you’re using. Not using enough detergent won’t get your diapers clean, and using too much will prevent detergent from washing off your diapers properly, gunking them up wash after wash, and causing problems too.

To figure out how much detergent to use, jump to the How to Wash Cloth Diapers page, and build your personalized wash routine.

5. Hit the reset button

If you’ve given them an extra wash, are using a good detergent in the right quantity, are storing your diapers well and are washing enough but you still have a smell, or if you have just fixed your wash routine and need to fix the damage done, go ahead and reset things back to square one by sanitizing your diapers.

Here’s how to sanitize your diapers:

Ingredients: Use cold or lukewarm water and bleach with at least 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient.

Average bathtub – 1/2 cup of bleach to water filled to the half-way point (from the top of the tub)

Other containers (including washer)- 1 Tbs of bleach to 1 gallon (about 4 litres) of water

Process: Soak diapers in the bleach solution for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than an hour. Rinse the diapers with hot water, followed by a regular (warm water) cycle in the washing machine, complete with detergent to completely break down the bleach.

If you still smell bleach on the diapers after washing, you can do an additional wash to be safe, but the bleach should be broken down and rinsed clean if used in the right proportions

Dry as normal.

Don’t Panic

My last piece of advice is not to panic when diapers start to smell. There is no smell that can’t be fixed, and it’s not something you have to live with if you want to cloth diaper. If you’re experiencing smell issues, you’re sooo not alone, we’ve ALL been there.

Just to let you know, at the time of the first draft of this article, I’d just had to address smell issues with my toddler’s bedwetting pants due to moving and changing water systems.

And if you’re having problems of any kind with your diapers, let me and the rest of the Cloth Diapers for Beginners Facebook community know so we can offer some advice and support. You can find us here.

The Building Blocks for cloudThing Magic

Process Automation

Saving time, money and staff resource through well implemented Process Automation

Shrink Time, Close Distance

Fundamentally, cloudThing are an organisation who specialise in business and technical consulting to help an organisation shrink time and shorten distances through digital technology.

The technology changes; it could be a bespoke application, it could be by customising something off the shelf or it could be a data science process to surface new features from existing data.

What does not change however is the hard work that goes in prior to the delivery of the technology... A detailed business workshop to map out all processes across all users that make up the organisation, from suppliers, to staff, to customers.

From this, we can work out the ‘ideal state’ of your organisation, and the ‘true state’ of how things are now – based on what management perceives the process to be, and what is the process in practice.

We can then workshop with users to identify opportunities to reduce manual data entry, erase duplication of processes and spot areas to enhance processes by integrating data insights from other areas of the organisation.

A good way to imagine the change from manual to digital processes is that of the effort required to replicate sheet music, either completely digitally with minimal effort via an automated recording or by enhancing staff with technology to make a live performance more compelling.

With business know-how and expertise we can advise your organisation on which approach makes the most sense and how achievable it is based on your budget.

Often, the technology to deliver unique experiences is already available off the shelf, but just requires a modern, cloud platform to integrate and deliver it.

Selecting The Right Technology

Once we have mapped processes, we can work with you to choose the approach to optimise and automate them.

Through exploratory analysis we will analyse the relevant data to the process and build a hypotheses about how it could be automated.

Our Solution Architects will then suggest the least resource intensive way of achieving this based on cost to integrate or develop the solution, time to train users and the cost associated with maintaining the solution.

We can then test the viability of the technology and the automation hypotheses through observation of users interacting with a prototype or wireframes.

Deer in Your Headlights?

Avoid a Collision with Deer on the Move

October 30, 2018 - - The chances of deer-vehicle crashes are now rising toward their peak with mating season and the quest for different food sources sending deer on the move, according to AAA Oklahoma and The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

“Deer are on the move now seeking new food sources, which often require them to travel further distances during the fall and winter. Typically, the greatest number of deer-vehicle crashes occur in mid-November when the rut, or mating season, peaks,” said Colin Berg, Information Education Supervisor for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife.

 According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, 186 vehicle crashes reported in 2017 were deer-related (crashes in which a deer and vehicle actually collided or the presence of a deer was a contributing circumstance).

“In addition to injuries and loss of life, deer collisions often cause significant vehicle damage that can lead to large expenses for the vehicle owner if not properly insured,” said Mark Madeja, public and government affairs senior specialist for AAA Oklahoma. “Of the animal strikes reported by AAA Insurance policy holders in 2017, the average cost per claim was more than $4,500.”

Be Insurance Prepared:

Purchase comprehensive coverage as part of your insurance policy or check with your insurance agent to make sure you have it. Vehicle damage due to collisions with animals is included in comprehensive coverage. Unfortunately, many drivers don’t and will have to pay out-of-pocket for repairs in a deer-vehicle wreck. Collision coverage pays for damage to your car from a collision only with an object (e.g., a telephone pole, a guard rail, a mailbox), or as a result of flipping over.

Be Driving Prepared:

  • Be especially attentive in early morning and evening hours. Many animals, especially deer, are most active from 5-8 a.m. and 5-8 p.m. – prime commuting times for many people.
  • Pay attention to road signs. Yellow, diamond-shaped signs with an image of a deer indicate areas with high levels of deer activity.
  • Keep your eyes moving back and forth. Continuously sweep your eyes across the road in front of you for signs of animals and movement. Animals may also be alongside the road, so make sure to look to the right and left, as well.
  • Use high beams when there’s no oncoming traffic. You can spot animals sooner. Sometimes the light reflecting off their eyes will reveal their location.
  • Slow down, and watch for other deer to appear. Deer rarely travel alone, so if you see one, there are likely to be more nearby.
  • One long blast. A long blast on your horn may frighten animals away from your vehicle.
  • Use brakes if an impact is imminent. Don’t swerve. Instead, stay in your lane. Swerving away from animals can confuse them so they don’t know which way to run. “If you are unfortunate enough to have a deer enter the highway in front of your car, it is best to hit the animal and not swerve to avoid it,” said Madeja. “More serious crashes occur when drivers swerve to miss deer and lose control of their vehicle, leaving the road or veering into oncoming traffic.”
  • Always wear a seatbelt. The chances of getting injured when hitting an animal are much higher if you don’t have your seatbelt on.

Be Crash Prepared:

  • Move your vehicle off the roadway to the shoulder, if possible, and call for law enforcement at *55. Make sure you tell the dispatcher if the animal or your vehicle is still in the road.
  • Do not try to move the animal. An injured deer might panic and seriously injure you. Law enforcement or animal control officials can remove the animal from the road when they arrive.
  • If possible, move the vehicle to a safe location, off the roadway, and wait for help to arrive. Turn on your hazard lights.
  • If in a congested area, stay inside the car with seat belts on to avoid injuries from secondary crashes. Do not stand near your vehicle – especially between your car and another one. Watch for approaching traffic.
  • Take pictures to document the crash once the scene is secured from traffic.
  • Contact your insurance company as soon as possible.

U.S. Open Ticket Prices Plummet From 2013

If you’re hoping to go to the U.S. Open this year, you’ll be happy to know that it won’t require a second mortgage on your house. Tickets for the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst are miniscule when compared to prices from a year ago, and it could have something to do with a certain man in red’s absence.

It’s well known that Tiger Woods will miss the U.S. Open this month, and his presence will be missed by those attending, as well as those trying to sell tickets.

Related Link: It’s Official: Tiger Woods To Miss U.S. Open

“Prices have definitely dipped on StubHub for the U.S. Open compared to last year,” said StubHub’s Cameron Papp. “It’s what we call the Tiger Effect. There is no athlete in the world that has more of an effect on ticket prices than Tiger Woods.”

The average price for a four-day gallery pass on StubHub is about $424, with the cheapest priced at $279. According to philly.com, the average price for a week-long pass in 2013 was $1,400.

Remember: Woods played last year.

Although he won’t be in the field this year, just about every other big-name golfer will be, and these prices are too low to turn down.

“If you’re a die-hard golf fan and the U.S. Open is on your bucket list, this is the year to go,” Papp said. “You won’t see Tiger, but you’ll get a relatively great deal.”

If you’re looking to just make a day trip and watch the first round Thursday, ticket prices are as low as $62. Last year’s average price for a Thursday ticket: $285.

Granted, the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion was located just outside of Philadelphia, a huge metropolitan area. Pinehurst doesn’t feature quite the same big-city venue, which could cause ticket prices to fall. Fewer tickets were available last year as well, driving demand (and prices) through the roof.

It’s hard to determine if the absence of the biggest name in golf or the location caused prices to fall, but as a golf fan, low prices are quite enticing. Not to mention, the final round falls on Father’s Day, and U.S. Open tickets would make a great gift (hint, hint).

I took a look at Speed up processing between VBA and IE, but I didn't see anything that addressed the speeding up of the retrieval of information via IE.

Since MS got rid of the stock retrieval database (MSN Money), there wasn't an easy way to get current stock prices. From what I gather, there are some add-ins available through the app store, but like usual, I'm stuck on 2007 doing this.

This was my attempt at a UDF for retrieving the stock price from http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/ which requires finding elements on the page and getting the value from within. It's.. not very elegant, but it works. What can I do to speed up the IE processes? I know, I know - screenupdating, etc

Option Explicit

Public Function GetTickerPrice(ByVal ticker As String) As Double

    Dim IE As Object
    Dim pageData As Object

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    Dim URL As String
    URL = "http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/stockdetails/fi-126.1." & ticker & ".NAS?symbol=" & ticker & "=PRFIMQ"

    IE.Navigate URL

     Do Until IE.ReadyState >= 4

     Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5)

     Set pageData = IE.document

     GetTickerPrice = pageData.getElementsByClassName("precurrentvalue")(0).innertext

     Set IE = Nothing
     Set pageData = Nothing
End Function
  • 2
    \$\begingroup\$ Maybe using an API is cleaner? The speed issue is very likely because of the time needed to open the URL: instead you could just fetch the HTML page (without displaying it in IT) and search the price. If it is not fast enough, you might need to perform concurrent http requests (for the different stock prices) \$\endgroup\$ – oliverpool Mar 2 '16 at 12:38
  • \$\begingroup\$ @oliverpool maybe, when I was messing around with the API, I wasn't sure if I could do anything with the csv without downloading and opening it, which may or may not be faster. \$\endgroup\$ – Raystafarian Mar 2 '16 at 12:40
  • \$\begingroup\$ I think this is one of the rare cases when your question would be better asked on SO. Namely, something like "Fastest way to load and retrieve element values from a webpage using VBA" \$\endgroup\$ – Kaz Mar 2 '16 at 12:58
  • 1
    \$\begingroup\$ Why are you using VBA at all... support.office.com/en-us/article/… (let alone automating IE) \$\endgroup\$ – James Snell Mar 2 '16 at 13:31
  • \$\begingroup\$ @JamesSnell I thought that the msn money connections were deprecated in 2013. \$\endgroup\$ – Raystafarian Mar 2 '16 at 13:35

Worksheet functions were not designed for this. User-defined worksheet functions were not made a feature of Excel to go and fetch data online - in my humble opinion, this is a terrible abuse of UDF's.

A function like this should be part of the definition of a class module that defines an object responsible for this task, and wrapped with an interface, say ITickerPriceProvider:

Public Function GetTickerPrice(ByVal ticker As String) As Double
End Function

Then your code moves into a class module with Implements ITickerPriceProvider, and the signature becomes this:

Option Explicit
Implements ITickerPriceProvider

Private Function ITickerPriceProvider_GetTickerPrice(ByVal ticker As String) As Double
    'your code
End Function

What gives? Now you can get fancy and write a macro that looks like this:

Public Sub UpdateTickerPrices()

    Dim provider As ITickerPriceProvider
    Set provider = New WebTickerPriceProvider

    Dim updater As TickerSheetUpdater
    Set updater = New TickerSheetUpdater

    updater.UpdateTickerPrices provider, TickerPricesSheet

End Sub

And the TickerSheetUpdater.UpdateTickerPrices method is where you go and implement the code that locates ticker strings (your worksheet must have a column with those, right?), fetches the prices for each one, and updates the worksheet.

This is a job for a macro, not a UDF.

As a bonus, the TickerSheetUpdater class can be unit-tested because the dependencies are under control - and now if somebody cuts the network cable, you can handle errors gracefully, instead of having 200 UDF calls blowing up one after another.

As for the implementation itself, I don't see any glaring issues. I would have named IE something like browser, URL would have been url, and there would have been an On Error GoTo CleanFail statement at the top, and a CleanExit label to ensure resources get cleaned up whether or not an error occurs:

Private Function ITickerPriceProvider_GetTickerPrice(ByVal ticker As String) As Double
    On Error GoTo CleanFail

    'implementation here

    Set browser = Nothing
    Set pageData = Nothing
    Exit Function

    'handle errors
    Resume CleanExit

End Function

Turning ScreenUpdating off isn't going to help much, at least not with a UDF approach - the function isn't updating any cell values, it is a cell value.

However I'd try to see if there wouldn't be a way to remove this:

Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5)

...or add a comment that explains why it's needed, and why it needs to be a whole 5 seconds - especially given you've just waited for a specific ReadyState on your IE object:

 Do Until IE.ReadyState >= 4

What's 4 anyway? Make an Enum for the possible values, and use it instead of hard-coding a value like this. Why do you need to wait 5 seconds after the browser gets into that ReadyState? Could you keep loop-waiting for a later state value? An enum would help understanding what's going on and why here.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Raystafarian notice it leaves you the freedom to implement some XmlTickerPriceProvider and/or CsvTickerPriceProvider and/or SqlTickerPriceProvider, or whatever other way you might want to fetch this data =) \$\endgroup\$ – Mathieu Guindon Mar 2 '16 at 17:49
  • \$\begingroup\$ It's a better solution than mine, for sure. You might want to post it over at the superuser question I was attempting to solve for the bounty. \$\endgroup\$ – Raystafarian Mar 2 '16 at 17:51

Perspective on People Surveys &Talent

The Process Damage

Good people aren’t hard to find, they are right in front of us. Across many industries the conversation about talent is top of mind. Over twenty years ago a wired magazine article predicted in 2020 that people would need to evolve quickly in their ways of learning. See the article here along with other predictions.

Companies knew that learning, development and workforce concerns would evolve over time. It wasn’t a secret and it isn’t a surprise to hear from anyone that talent engagement is critical to the success of any organization. While budgets in human resources and factors shrunk to something a fraction of what it was, there is an investment in people oriented technologies.

Many companies are treating employees like clients and customers instead of treating them like employees. The companies look to monitor organizational health with customer satisfaction scores and surveys. Many companies have automated HR functions from end to end. They have outsourced almost all of HR in many places.

The lack of investment hasn’t necessarily had a scientific correlation with workforce turnover but it’s unclear if anyone is really looking at this. What the companies believe is that they have to appropriately brand themselves socially both externally and internally to meet conditions to attract and maintain the “best” talent.

I offer two simple questions on this:

  1. If you care about the “best” talent, what do you think you hired as you look at your current workforce?
  2. How did the serial takedown of human resources impact your bottom line?

As we consider these fundamental questions, the facts are that turnover is higher than ever. It isn’t because of those pesky kids either. It is because leadership has created distance between the core company and the people who work for it. Many older workers still bleed corporate colors for a lot of reasons but newer workers generally don’t get attached. This isn’t because of corporate culture, this is due to newly accepted behavior.

When the bottom line is literally the bottom line, it doesn’t build loyalty. When I was going for my Masters, there was a discussion of how the demands of the street, market and shareholders would drive out extra spend. What was “extra” spend? Maybe it was having holiday parties, or dinners. It could have been no cost gym or other benefits. The days of pension and people investment have gone. It is fairly common to get nothing more than the job; “I said good day sir”!

The final nail in the corporate coffin on talent is asking people for their opinion when it is clear that the company doesn’t care to take action on it. An acknowledgement of a survey isn’t action. Forming a board to study something, is like sitting in a rocking chair. You do a lot of moving but you don’t go anywhere. The reason is, that the company secretly didn’t want to know.

The end result is companies wind up knowing things and doing very little because it costs too much. If they do anything at all it would be by design for public consumption (because potential talent may see it or hear about it.)

The other result is that they figure out how to ask questions which are not actionable. Scoring from 1-5 how you feel on a Tuesday is not actionable because sentiment is highly variable.

The last issue with surveys and talent trickery, is the measures are all based on indicators which are generally designed by technologists not people who specialize in human factors.

If companies threw out the surveys and started to go back to investing in people and investing loyalty (meaning long term real incentive), the talent problem wouldn’t be what it is today. What do you think?

Three strains of crypto mining malware have topped the latest Global Threat Index from Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point, according to a press release published on Jan. 14.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. is a security solution provider for governments and enterprises globally, with over 100,000 organizations reported to be currently using its security management system.

As reported, stealth crypto mining attacks — also known as cryptojacking — work by installing malware that uses a computer’s processing power to mine for cryptocurrencies without the owner’s consent or knowledge.

According to Check Point’s Global Threat Index for December 2018, the top three most wanted malware strains were all cryptojacking-related — with Coinhive, a web browser-based Monero (XMR) mining code — sealing the top spot for the 13th consecutive month.

Ranked second and third respectively, XMRig is reportedly an open-source CPU mining software for XMR mining, whereas Jsecoin is a JavaScript miner that can be embedded in websites, marketed to site owners as an alternative form of monetization to advertizing.

While Coinhive is estimated to affect around 12 percent of organizations worldwide, XMRig reportedly has a global hold of 8 percent, closely followed JSEcoin at 7 percent.

As reported, multiple security researchers have underscored that cryptojacking use continues to increase, notwithstanding the global cryptocurrency bear market. Last November, Russian internet security company Kaspersky Labs published an analysis which indicated that after the crypto market bull run subsided in January and February 2018, interest in cryptojacking also briefly tapered off — yet it nonetheless remained a consistent and current threat throughout 2018.

The analysts noted that a contributing factor to the popularity of cryptojacking could be the range of ready-to-use programs, open mining pools, and miner builders that are at attackers’ disposal.

Over 4 percent of Monero, whose privacy-focused characteristics contribute to its popularity as a coin of choice for covert mining operations, is estimated to have be mined illicitly, according to research published earlier this month.

Stacks logo Stacks - STX

Stacks is a decentralized computer network that provides developers with a complete stack for building decentralized applications. So far, more than 100 decentralized applications have been created in the network. With Stacks , developers no longer have to run servers and databases: applications write data to private data lockers that are controlled by the user. This decentralized storage system offers performance comparable to conventional cloud storage and requires little effort for encryption / decryption. The authentication protocol eliminates the need for connections based on known passwords be less secure than cryptographic authentication. Users can use a single account for all services and applications, eliminating the need to constantly create new accounts for new services. Stacks development libraries make it easy to develop decentralized applications on this platform, such as building traditional internet applications.

~Think of something you wanted to do with your life while still young. Become a doctor? A lawyer? A teacher? If your dream did not work out as planned, look at the things that dream prepared you for instead. Perhaps, instead of a doctor you became a mechanic and can still fix things, and so on.

~The blind man’s parents were loyal to an organization instead of to God for whom it was organized. Explain the difference in devotion to a congregation and devotion to God.

~These parents refused to look at the evidence. They were blind to the evidence. They did not want to see and change their life. What new facts about the Bible have you discovered from these readings that you find yourself not wanting to see? How will you sit down and make yourself look at them honestly? What kind of role does ego play in such exercises?

This is an aside, from six years before "Carrie Anne"... Oh my, they look so clean cut. And I can't actually understand a word they're singing, except Louie Louie. I missed those days.

How can I make only certain tagged customers able to order a product

New Member
1 0 0

Currently building my page and am planning on offering discounts via BOLD for certain groups of customers. However, I want to know if I can turn off the "add to cart" of certain products for some groups but allow "add to cart" to others based on these tags (we have a product we cannot sell within Australia, but we can sell to international customers).

We used to stop the order going through at the cart, however, this had a detrimental effect on our conversion rate and we found we were losing A LOT of customers, so I was hoping I could only make this available to certain people once they sign in.

If there is an app or I need to get code, please let me know your thoughts as I need all the help I can get!

Hey, there.

Dallas here from the Shopify Social Care Team.

Great question and I am happy to say that I think I have some options that would work well for you. Rather than organizing your customers by tags I think it would be better to organize your customers by postal code orzipcode. In order to achieve this you're going to need to get an app. Each one has different features, but a quick summary of each app that I think could work for you:

1. Easy Country Blocker

This app would be if you wanted to block customers from your site entirely.

2. Geo Targeting ‑ Custom Pop‑Ups

This app would allow you to create different pop-ups & banners that only visitors located in certain areas could see. It would detect your visitors' locations which you can filter by country or zipcode and then depending on their location they would see/would not see the popup.

ie. If you are restricting visitors from Canada, all Canadian visitors will see a pop warning with a message that your store does not offer shipping to Canada. Unlike Easy Country Blocker, this app will not restrict these visitors to access to your site and continue browsing. If you choose to install this app, I do recommend to also install Easy Shipping Restrictions, in case your visitors missed the pop-up.

3. Product Zipcode Validator

This will prevent customers from accessing specific products until their zipcode is compared against a list of areas that you have approved. It will add a field on the product page that will be used to verify the zipcode/postal code

4. Locksmith

My fourth and final suggestion is the Locksmith app. This would basically lock the page via password. If they enter one of the passwords you create then they will be able to access the page and add that product to cart. If you wanted you could make the passwords a list of all the countries that the product is available in. Then you could ask them "what country are you located?". If they type the country that matches your list of approved countries then they will be able to enter the store. I hope that makes sense.

Based on my understanding of what you're looking for I think these would be the best options in order to achieve this. Please feel free to ask me any further questions after you have a chance to go through the options.

Can you please explain what you have done with this code? It looks like it may work for me, just not sure how to implement.

If I want to restrict customers from specific state to purchase specific item, I can create a custom shipping zone to prevent them from checking out. But, for the product page, it would be nice to have the add to cart button disabled for those customers.

Would this code work for customer.addresses? Or are customer locations saved in tags? And, how would it work for new customers that don't yet have an address associated with their account?

{% if customer %}
{% if customer.addresses contains 'STATE' %}
<button disabled class="add_to_cart">Inelgible</button>
{% else %}
<button class="add_to_cart"/>Add To Cart</button>
{% endif %}
{% else %}

{% endif %}

Do you know a solution for following request:

make a specific discount code only valid for customers with existing orders?

For example: I am shipping a discount code along with every order, so a repeated order is attracted. but I don't want customers, who never ordered anything to benefit from this code

30 1 11

@mxn I hope you've asked this in a separate thread, but the answer to your question is: go to your Customers section, perform a search ("more filters") for Number of Orders > More than this number, enter 0. Then save that filter as "customers with orders". That will create a customer group. Then when you create your discount code, under "Customer Eligibility", select "Specific groups of customers" and then search for the group "customers with orders".

@Web-Dev You had 'STATE' in quotes, which means that your code would only trigger if the customer had an address that had the word 'STATE' in it.You need to define "state" as a variable or array, and then compare it to the customer's address(es).

This code (should) produce an array for the states you want to match, and then look through the customer's addresses to see if they have one that is in one of the listed states:

{% assign eligible_state = 'Alabama,Florida' | split: ',' %}
{% if customer %}
  {% for customer_address in customer.addresses %}
  {% if eligible_state contains customer_address.province %}
    {% assign customer_is_eligible = 1 %}
  {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  {% if customer_is_eligible -%}
    <button class="add_to_cart"/>Add To Cart</button>
  {%- else -%}
    <button disabled class="add_to_cart">Inelgible</button>
  {%- endif %}
{% else -%}
  <button class="">{{ 'Log in' | customer_login_link }}</button>
{%- endif %}

Steven Tyler calls ex-manager/lawyer litigation a “travesty”

By | Published on Tuesday 18 December 2012

Steven Tyler

Steven Tyler has called a lawsuit being pursued by his former management against his lawyer “an outrage and a travesty”. A court filing by the Aerosmith frontman and former ‘American Idol’ judge regards the litigation has been seen by TMZ.

The management firm of US music industry veteran Allen Kovac began legal action against lawyer Dina LaPolt back in October. Kovac claims that he hired LaPolt to work on negotiations with ‘Idol’ producers when Tyler’s contract with the show was up for renewal in late 2011 but, he alleges, the attorney derailed the negotiations by telling ‘Idol’ producers that the star’s reps were overplaying their hand in a bid to up their client’s fee.

Then, after Tyler and ‘Idol’ had officially parted company, the plaintiff’s allege that LaPolt persuaded Tyler to sack his managers, cutting Kovac’s company out of the commission it was due on the severance fee paid by the ‘Idol’ production company when Tyler left the show.

But Tyler denies that LaPolt was behind his decision to part company with Kovac’s management firm. He says that it was Kovac himself who caused his relationship with the management agency to collapse, accusing the industry veteran of being “disrespectful, rude, and insulting to his fiancé and family”.

The rocker adds that he hired the services of Kovac’s company because of his respect for other people working there, but when it became clear that he couldn’t stop the firm’s top man from “inserting himself” into his affairs he decided the partnership had to end.

The litigation is ongoing. Tyler, of course, left ‘Idol’ earlier this year, officially so he could spend more time on his Aerosmith duties.

San Diego Judge Upholds State Medical Pot Law - Printable Version

San Diego Judge Upholds State Medical Pot Law - Easy Skanking - 01-22-2007

Quote:San Diego judge upholds state medical pot law

Published 12/21/2006

by Liz Highleyman

A San Diego judge earlier this month upheld California's medical marijuana law, rejecting a challenge by three counties contending that the state law puts them in conflict with federal policy.

"Medical cannabis patients everywhere can breathe easier," said Steph Sherer, executive director of Americans for Safe Access, a patient advocacy group, following the December 6 decision. "States can act to protect patients, and local officials are now on notice that they cannot hide behind the federal reluctance to acknowledge medical use."

San Diego County will appeal the decision.

The state's Compassionate Use Act, better known as Proposition 215, passed by a substantial margin in 1996. The law allows individuals with illnesses such as AIDS, cancer, and multiple sclerosis to use cannabis for medicinal purposes with a doctor's recommendation. An additional law passed in 2003 requires counties to implement a patient identification card program to enable police to identify legitimate medical users.

The federal government, however, does not recognize the laws of California and 10 other states, maintaining that marijuana has no legitimate medicinal value and that its use is illegal under all circumstances. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2005 that the federal Controlled Substances Act trumps state medical marijuana laws, but did not declare such laws invalid.

This past February, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming that California could not require the county to implement the patient ID card system, since the state law is at odds with federal policy. San Bernardino and Merced counties later signed on to the suit.

"California authorized use of marijuana for medical purposes, but federal law has said marijuana has no legitimate medical use," said San Diego County Counsel Thomas Bunton. "California authorizes, and in fact encourages, people to use marijuana, when that is forbidden by federal law."

On November 16, Superior Court Judge William R. Nevitt tentatively ruled that this discrepancy does not prevent California from permitting medicinal cannabis use, as long as the state does not require residents or officials to act in ways that are directly prohibited under federal law.

This month, Nevitt reaffirmed his preliminary decision that the patient ID card system does not constitute a "positive conflict" with federal law.

The state attorney general's office, ASA, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Drug Policy Alliance argued in favor of the Compassionate Use Act. The advocates represented Stephen O'Brien, an Oakland physician who specializes in HIV/AIDS care, and a group of patients who use medical cannabis, including one who died after the lawsuit was filed.

"This is a vital win for patients and a resounding step forward for the medical marijuana movement," said ACLU attorney Adam Wolf, commenting on the most recent court decision.

"This ruling upholds both the will of the voters and the legislature's attempt to help implement it," added ASA chief counsel Joe Elford. "The protections provided to patients under state law have been confirmed."

Deputy state Attorney General Leslie Lopez said Congress never intended to require states to enact identical laws.

"We are pleased that the court ruled that San Diego must follow California's medical marijuana law," said Dale Gieringer of the California chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. "The ID cards will save the county money by avoiding needless arrest and prosecution of legal patients."

The week after the ruling was handed down, however, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 in a closed session to file an appeal.

According to board Chairman Bill Horn, the judge did not directly rule on whether the state or federal government has ultimate authority over marijuana policy. "[Nevitt] kind of gave us the politically correct opinion that we ignored the will of the voters," he told the San Diego Union-Tribune. "Maybe the 4th District [Court] will give us an answer."

In contrast, Merced supervisors decided not to appeal Nevitt's ruling, and the county will begin issuing patient ID cards in accordance with California law.

Falling plates smash and cannot be restored!

Falling Plates

Falling Plates, the work of Howard Crutsinger and John Strong, is a brilliant short film about life, death and love of a Saviour. With an artistic approach, it uses so many images to show people what the gospel looks like rather just preaching.

These two friends’ creativeness shows the sinfulness of humans and the salvation of God –  and links with Romans 5:11 (NTL): ‘So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God – all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God.’

Azusa Street and Stone Church prophecies of 100 years ago

Andrew StromAndrew Strom, Revival School Moderator, in a recent blog challenges

 Have we now, sadly, become too cynical to believe such prophecies? Are we only convinced that evil will triumph and that true Revival is ‘impossible’?

Maybe such cynicism is hurting us more than we know. Why can God not pour out his Spirit again in our day the same as he did in the past?

Greater outpouring prophesied
Michael Edds (

William Seymour and Charles ParhamAs the Azusa Street Revival was coming to an end in the 1900s, it is recorded that   William Seymour (left), known as ‘The Catalyst of Pentecost’ and Charles Parham (right), known as ‘Father of Pentecost’ on the same day, at two separate locations, prophesied that there will be another stronger move of God´s Spirit on the earth, which will take place 100 years from then. They said that it will be an outpouring of God´s Spirit and his shekinah glory that would be greater and more far-reaching than what was experienced at Azusa.

This prophecy was also confirmed by Maria Woodworth-Etter in 1913. The revival had moved from Los Angeles to its new focal point of Chicago, Illinois. Pentecost swept from Chicago to Canada, Europe, South America and Africa.
One of the greatest outpourings occurred at Stone Church in 1913. The renowned lady evangelist

began a revival on July 2, 1913 at Stone Church. The services were to last until the end of July but continued for six months. This was a time of divine appointment for the city of Chicago; God rent the heavens and came down!

Scenes from the days of the Early Church began to occur at Stone Church. Word began to spread throughout Chicago of miraculous healings, deliverance from demonic possession, conversions, and of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit happening in these meetings.

  • Advertisement was no longer necessary!
  • The city was incredibly shaken.
  • Word spread of the miraculous intervention of God.
  • Thousands came on trolleys, buggies, and trains, while many walked.
  • Some came from distances of 1,600 miles away.
  • 1200 to 1500 packed into Stone Church each night.
  • The basement was filled and many stood out on the street. Street meetings were held to accommodate them.

Greater move of God ahead
As Christians prayed around the altar one evening, Maria Woodworth-Etter and others gave the following powerful prophecy-

Maria Woodworth-Etter prophecy‘We are not yet up to the fulness… it will far exceed anything we have seen.’ Also that ‘there will be a greater move of God in the next 100 years, the glory of which has never been seen…’

Michael Edds continues: ‘I believe that we have reached the time of the fulfilment of these 100 year-old prophecies. We must be diligent to pray, intercede and protect what the Lord is doing. We must encourage and edify one another as never before. We must crucify every critical, judgmental and religious spirit that may be within us. We must put on the holiness and righteousness of Christ. Our time of divine destiny has come. We are about to experience what Brother Seymour and Sister Woodworth-Etter foresaw.’

Surviving torture and agony in North Korea’s brutal prison system

Dan WoodingDan Wooding, ASSIST founder/director, who has been to North Korea, reports…

Kenneth Bae, an American citizen, spent almost two years performing grueling work for the North Korean regime after being detained and sentence to 15 years of hard labour. Born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1968, his family immigrated to the United States in 1985.

According to a story from CBN, Bae developed a love for the people of North Korea that eventually led him to the China-North Korea border. A new concern was born in his heart: one for a people so controlled, so oppressed, that no one really knew what life was like inside this isolated nation.

‘Compelled to show them they were not forgotten by the outside world, Bae formed a company that successfully led peaceful tours into North Korea for many years,’ the story went onto say. ‘His ordeal started on one fateful occasion when he crossed the border unwittingly carrying his external computer hard drive. The North Korean authorities swung into action.’

Dan Wooding - Kenneth Bae

Detaining him at a remote location, the officials subjected him to a game of ‘good cop, bad cop’ during a prolonged interrogation. Convinced of Bae’s guilt, the authorities transported him to Pyongyang for sentencing. Bae was immediately sentenced to 15 years of hard labour at a remote North Korean prison camp.

There, he suffered torture, forced labour, and failing health for two long years. ‘I worked from 8 am to 6 pm. at night, working on the field, carrying rock, shoveling coal,’ Bae told CNN. ‘The verbal abuse from North Korean officials only added to his pain.’

Bae said one of the prosecutors told him repeatedly, ‘No one remembers you. You have been forgotten by people, your government. You’re not going home anytime soon. You’ll be here for 15 years. You’ll be 60 before you go home.’

But the prayers and efforts of family, friends and strangers – and even that of Barack Obama, the President of the United States – mobilised to bring Kenneth Bae home. He was finally released in November 2014.

Dan W - Kenneth Bae Bae also told CNN that his faith helped him deal with the physical and verbal agony, ‘Along the way, I found my way adjusting to life in the North Korean prison, just depending on God.’ Now, he tells his story of those events in his new book, Not Forgotten: The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea (with Mark Tabb.

MP submits proposal to regulate massage parlours in Yangon region

Yangon – MP Thaung Kyaw, who represents Yankin constituency for from the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), submitted a proposal to parliament on December 8 to allow massage parlours in Yangon Region under rules and regulations.

He said he submitted the proposal with the intention to reduce the number of illegal massage parlours in Yangon Region.

“Residents of Yangon go to massage parlours to relax and reduce their stress. Massage parlours also create job opportunities. But the owners of illegal massage parlours only care about their business because no regulations are applied to them. People who visit these massage parlours and their owners are breaking the law. Officials have paid no attention to them, so they think they are not punishable,” said the MP.

There are two kinds of massage parlours in Yangon. One kind is operated by legitimate masseurs and is often located in hotels. The other kind, in addition to offering massages, also allows patrons to pay for sex.
Some of these sex parlours are staffed by trafficked women from underdeveloped areas who have been tricked into coming to Yangon by traffickers pretending to offer them jobs at beauty salons.

“They arrive in Yangon and are sent to massage parlours. Most of the massage parlours are named and disguised as beauty salons. The women have no choice but to work. They have to work all night long. They rest for only a short time in the morning. They earn just 20 per cent of the fees paid by the customer, while the traffickers take the rest. Thus, they can rarely afford to buy their freedom from the traffickers. They are treated like prisoners, and the government cannot protect them with the existing laws. So the Yangon Region government should deeply consider passing this proposal,” the MP said.

Local MP Myo Khin asked during the parliament session whether the Yangon Region government has planned to instruct KTVs, massage parlours, night clubs, bars and dance clubs in residential areas to relocate. Colonel Tin Win, Regional Minister for Security and Border Affairs, said the regional government has made no such plan yet.

how to protect workers from chemicals
ContractorsInsurance No Comments

How to Protect Workers from Chemicals

In the construction industry, welding and cutting are common activities that can unfortunately lead to severe health consequences. The metals used in creating a new weld joint and the chemicals used in the metals themselves that are being heated can both produce toxic fumes.

Exposure to these fumes can create immediate health effects like dizziness, nausea or shortness of breath. Long-term exposure often results in chronic health symptoms stemming from serious underlying medical conditions like cancer, neurological damage, kidney damage and other such debilitating problems. Some welders subjected to repeated exposures may even die as a result of their resulting health condition.

The only way to avoid having this tragedy happen to your workers is to engage in safe workplace practices for chemical management. Use proper ventilation, reduce the risk of exposures by removing any harmful chemical agents when possible, create work policies that limit employee exposures, and provide personal protective equipment (PPE) along with the training to properly use it.

Chemical Exposure for Construction Welders and OSHA Compliance

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has many regulatory requirements for compliance when it comes to chemical exposures at the workplace.

Each hazardous substance often has permissible exposure limits (PEL). Exposure limits usually apply to the maximum allowed amount of a hazardous chemical in the air surrounding a work site, and they can also include exposure time limits for individual workers.

You can consult OSHA’s website for a full list of requirements and policies regarding both the physical levels of exposure and the needed workplace practices to be in compliance.

How to Protect Workers from Chemicals

The Chemical Dangers of Welding and Cutting

Welding and cutting heats up metal materials to incredibly-high temperatures. These high temperatures cause substances that do not usually take on a gaseous form — such as heavy metals — to become vaporized and capable of being breathed in and absorbed by the worker.

These dangerous chemicals and substances include:

  • Beryllium — alloying agent in copper and other metals; beryllium can cause chemical pneumonia in acute exposures and lung failure in long-term exposures
  • Mercury — sometimes used as an anti-corrosion coating
  • Lead — heating of metals coated in lead-based paints can produce lead oxide fumes; inhalation can cause lead poisoning
  • Cadmium — alloying agent and anti-rust coating for steel; acute exposures can lead to death; long-term exposures can cause kidney damage and emphysema
  • Zinc — often used in the manufacture of galvanized metals, brass and other alloys
  • Chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and phosgene gas — chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents are common components of chemical cleaning and degreasing agents used in construction; heating of these chemical fumes creates phosgene gas, which rapidly destroys lung tissue when inhaled; never use cleaning agents with chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents near a welding area
  • Carbon Monoxide — created by the incomplete combustion of fuels; can asphyxiate welders in unventilated areas
  • Ozone — created during electric arc welding; can damage lung tissue
  • Iron oxide — formed when iron-containing metals like steel are heated; fumes can lead to irritation in throat, lungs and other respiratory areas

 OSHA’s Safety Guidelines

The keys to avoiding and limiting chemical exposures in construction welders include:

  • Providing ventilation such as fume exhaust systems
  • Educating workers on potential dangers and safe work habits
  • Limiting daily exposures and giving workers lengthy breaks
  • Providing adequate PPE along with the training to use it
  • Carrying workers compensation insurance to ensure prompt treatment of any workers who are suffering from acute or long-term exposures

OSHA provides a workbook describing in detail how to manage, control and limit the dangers of hazardous chemicals during construction, which includes safe welding practices. Exercise your due diligence and protect your workers so that their reward for their hard labor is not dampened by chronic health problems.
