Room In The Inn
Room in the Inn is Homeward Bound's shelter to home program for women experiencing homelessness in Asheville. Since 2001, Room in the Inn has partnered with local faith communities who open their doors and provide meals, hospitality, companionship and a warm bed for up to twelve women each night of the week. Each week, Room in the Inn creates a safe haven for women while they await permanent housing placement.
Each Room in the Inn participant is treated as an individual because everyone's needs are different. They receive a case management plan that includes a connection to services for their key areas of need, including mental health and substance treatment, education and/or employment, interpersonal violence awareness, emotional regulation, determining their path to housing and implementing that plan. This ongoing interpersonal support continues after the women are housed to ensure a successful transition into a permanent home.
Interested? Contact Sharon Blythe at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 828.776.9741.
Your faith community or business team can be the key!
Your team can:
- Participate in training from Homeward Bound about poverty and homelessness in our community and what you will experience while hosting Room in the Inn participants.
- Contribute a yearly monetary stipend to supplement the expense of a full-time case manager for the clients.
- Bring MISSION INTO YOUR SPACE. This opportunity offers real ministry in YOUR building!
- Engage in community in a real and tangible way. Be a part of the solution to end homelessness in Asheville and Buncombe County!
We work with each Room in the Inn participant individually because all our needs are different. We accept homeless women who are emotionally stable, not currently affected by drugs or alcohol, willing to abide by the rules of the program, and seeking case management assistance. These rules prohibit drinking, smoking in the building, weapons, drugs, fighting, and cursing or verbal abuse. They also ensure a safe environment for the women and the volunteers. The program is coordinated by our Steering Committee.
We invite you to partner with us in caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our community by sharing your resources with them and providing the most basic needs that we all share:
- Safe sleeping options – space in your building from 6 PM through 6 AM nightly for one week, using our mattresses
- Regular meals – supper in the evening and a light breakfast and sack lunch during the day
- Transportation – to and from the AHOPE Day Center each day
- A caring environment – provide safe space and encouragement
We often think of homelessness as an issue too large and complex for any one person or faith group to tackle. You can be the key by helping to provide financial support, a week's service each year, and by sharing your kindness with the Room in the Inn guests!
Interested? Contact Sharon Blythe at email@example.com, or call 828.776.9741.
A Conversation between Cindy and Sarah
Cindy and Sarah are a great example of the journey we take together when a case manager supports someone experiencing homelessness to move into a new home and stay in housing. A big thanks to Amplified Media for their excellent work on this and the other Story Share videos they've done for us.
Room in the Inn is a first step to the stability that housing can bring to people's lives. Partners with local faith communities provide shelter for up to twelve women each night of the week. Each week faith communities open their facilities to welcome these women as guests. They offer a warm, safe place for women experiencing homelessness who are working hard to move forward into permanent housing. The simple goal is to keep them from risking their safety sleeping on the street. The greater goal is to create caring relationships with these women, one week at a time, while they await housing placement.
Each participant is treated as an individual because everyone's needs are different. We accept women who are experiencing homelessness, are mentally stable and, if affected by addiction, are willing to engage in treatment programs. Faith community volunteers transport the participants each evening to the housing site and provide dinner, breakfast, and a sack lunch. Additionally, two volunteers remain with the women overnight.
If you would like more information or would like to support Room in the Inn by volunteering, please contact Sharon Blythe at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our mission is to work with others to end the cycle of homelessness
The Homeward Bound community includes caring staff, volunteers, board members, and people experiencing or moving out of homelessness. We believe that housing is a human right and use the "Housing First" national best practice to end homelessness. We care about the most vulnerable among us and work every day to help them improve their lives. Join us!

So the movie was a 2:00pm showing & the time after he cash those bottle in was 10am, so he walked to the El Portal did he want to see this movie No he did not he didn't have a choice back then it was about what was around what was walking distance and the El Portal was walkable and Doc Savage was the movie that was playing 4 months straight so this was the movie a young future comedy ADAM CAROLLA seen that day in the summer of 1975....

And even if you are able...you may start down the new (and better) "path" with a bad case of poison oak from the first "path". An impressive performance by Elizabeth Taylor. though I feel the Oscar was given to her just as much for the impressive (and Oscar nominated) string of solid films that she had made up to that point, as it was for this film in particular.
Lynn B (es) wrote: I love the boldness of this movie in showing the day to day life struggles of a tiny community and their effects on the making of history. This community, in the face of attacks on their livelihoods became involved in a battle for survival and in doing so became the engineers of their futures. They also added to the collective experience of the struggle against oppression. This tiny, under resourced community took on the power of an international mining corporation and the US legal system that supported it. The interweaving of the class oppression with gender oppression and race inequalities is fantastically done and so often invisible in representations of struggle. The real life struggle involved in the making of this movie adds to the greatness of it's achievement. The quality of the filmic techniques are not fabulous but the raw delivery only adds to the ability of the film to draw us in.

If I asked this question in a crowd of people, I'm sure I would hear several answers all with interestingly high figures. This is also a very sensitive subject for Realtors as we are asked, pressured, and sometimes even bullied into cutting our commission or accepting less money for the same amount of work. Although, I cannot yet educate the masses, I would like to educate my small following on the subject.
Everything, yes everything, is negotiable in real estate. The entire contract, the fee, the services provided, etc. are all negotiable pieces in the transaction. Most Realtors are independent contractors-which means, even though you may see a broker's name on her card-website, she works independently for herself. She pays all of her own expenses, taxes, fees etc. This person sitting before you presenting her heart out, is a one man ( possibly one and some assistants) show. She is a bonafide entrepreneur in business for herself.
Let's start with the normal 6% everyone sees on the local Multiple Listing Service or HAR.com. Everyone can add and multiply and usually determines that their Realtor is making a mint off the sale of their home. Not necessarily so. The seller's agent asks for 6% with plans to split this fee with the Realtor who brings her a qualified buyer. So each Realtor in essence will be paid 3% of the sales price of the home. For example;
Sales Price of Home = 100,000 x 6% = $6,000 total / by 2 Realtors = $3000 each
Now, hold 3 fingers or better yet, 3 dollars up. First dollar, this must be given to her broker, automatically. So now we have 2 left. Dollar number 2 goes to her licensing fees- and there are plenty of them to be an active Realtor, paid every three months. So now we are down to the last dollar or $1000 of that $3000 dollars. This $1000 must be used for her expenses, gas, tires, signage, those open houses she had with the food, that ad that ran in the chronicle, networking fees, etc. This is also the same money that must be used to pay her own bills, send her children to school and pay her own health insurance. For some Realtors and even for some transactions, with the amount of hours spent, this last lone dollar gets divided so much it becomes minimum wage. Not to say that becoming a Real Estate professional cannot be a lucrative and rewarding business. For many who stay in the business, they love it and have undoubtedly found a way to squeeze in even more beneficial services into their offerings for their clients. But because I, like many of my industry friends are often asked questions about our commissions, and have to explain our worth to the assuming minds on a weekly basis, I thought it would be a great idea to educate my friends a little more. So the next time you are sitting with a Realtor and she is telling of all the services and benefits she will provide to you, before you ask her to cut her fee, think back to the last time you were able to live off minimum wage . . .

Fab Racing – Round 4 Rowrah – 2011 British Championship Pit Bike Super Moto
Published on June 28th, 2011
After a mammoth 5 1/2 hour drive, which should be 4 hours, Team M2R arrive at the Rowrah circuit Friday evening at 745pm.
It's been a dry day, and already our competitors have had a day's track time. We drop off the trailer and head towards civilisation trying to find a hotel for the night.
8.20am Saturday morning and we arrive back at the track, it's raining lightly and the track is wet. We unload and get the bikes and kit through scrutineering. Both Ryan and Jake get told off about the state of their helmets, but just pass so all good!
Time for breakfast, nothing like a healthy nutritional breakfast, but instead we all have full English, nice!
Leave the onsite café, the rain has stopped, and first practice starts. The first of the two qualifiers for the 140's are about 3 sessions in. We're on wets, but have been let down last minute without notice for the generator that we borrow. Cold tyres and a wet track, means it's a disaster, 7th and 10th quickest with Ryan binning it big style at the hairpin. Luckily both rider and bike are ok. Arron Parker rides well to take 2nd in this session.
For the 160's out 2 sessions later, no generator and cold tyres, so we choose to sit this one out.
We give up on the person who's meant to bring the generator, missed called and texts all go unanswered, and I leave the circuit on a 2 hour round trip to go and buy one. Just before I part with the cash 60 miles away, Jake calls, he and Ryan have bought a used one from minimotospares, so all I need to do is buy some extension leads, and make it back for the final qualifying sessions.
140 Qualifying 2, and the genies got the tyres almost melting, The track is a little damp, but drying quick, and we make a last minute decision to fit a slick rear tyre, keep the front wet. On lap 9 Jake posts a 55.991, and on lap 10 Ryan does a 55.045. The closest battle was Sam Houlton and Lewis Meldrum posting an identical 56.031 time. We have pole and second, happy days!
160 Qualifying 2, and the track has a dry line all around, but it's damp offline. We go again with the wet/slick combo that works in the 140's. On lap 10 Ryan gets a 52.440 and Jake gets a 52.887. Happy days we're pole and second once again.
Late evening at the track, there's a presentation in the café for trophies from Landow and Wilton Mill, most of the paddock are there. We come home with a nice collection of 6 trophies!
Sunday morning 8.30am, we've had to sleep at the track, all the local hotels are fully booked. Ryan and Jake in the trailer and me in the van. We all agree in the morning that it was the worst and coldest sleep we've ever had, the wind and rain howling all night – what a place! Off to the café breakfast is calling.
The weather forecast is heavy rain all day, it's been raining, but it's stopped and the wind and practice sessions start to dry the track. The weather forecast was wrong yesterday, and today it's also wrong, the rain is nonexistent and the track is drying out. I think single person at Rowrah is relieved!
Race 1 PIT BIKE 140 / 125
From the flag to flag Team M2R lead with Ryan 2nd and Jake the winner – See video of this race
Race 1 PIT BIKE 160 / EVO
Again text book race, Jake's on fire and storms to victory with Ryan 2nd – See video of this race
Race 2 PIT BIKE 140 / 125
From the flag both Ryan and Jake take a big lead, but within 2 laps and Ryan's got a problem, and sure enough a broken up SKF wheel bearing finishes Ryan's race a lap later. Ryan DNF, Jake 1st.
Race 2 PIT BIKE 160 / EVO
Ryan's is now chomping at the bit for a win, Jake has other ideas. From start to finish both guys lead the race battling each other, until the flag drops. Jake's won again! Ryan 2nd.
Race 3 PIT BIKE 140 / 125
Last 140 race of the day. Ryan's is adamant he's going to win. Off the line Ryan and Jake lead and build a gap. The racing is so close between them, it really was action packed and wheel-to-wheel, with both riders touching wheels, and elbows out, at one stage banging into each other across the start line. Ryan makes a big mistake at the 2nd last corner and out brakes himself onto the grass, keeps it upright, a short motocross ride and he's back on track and retains second. (good man!) He's seems even more worked up, Jake has a big lead and has slowed down and Ryan has target fixation. Within 5 laps Ryan has caught up, and they're on the last lap. Over the line side-by-side. Ryan's wins it and Jakes second.
(See photos of this race)
Race 3 PIT BIKE 160 / EVO
There's 3 riders' in the paddock. Ryan, Jake, and Dayne. Each of them is determined to win the last race.
At the start Dayne gets a flyer. 3 bikes into the first corner don't go. Ryan out brakes himself and grass tracks it, un intentially taking Dayne with him. Ryan's "arm up" "Sorry Dayne!". Jake says thank you very much and rides away in the lead. Red mist racing Dayne and Ryan battle over the next 2-3 corners. The XL80's are in front, fast up the straight but slow round the corners. Ryan's' gets past one of them, and gives himself some breathing space as Dayne is stuck behind.
The race finishes with Jake in a class of his own taking the win by a massive amount, Ryan 2nd and Dyane 3rd
(See photos of this race)
So the weekend overall was a huge success for M2R.
3 x 140cc races with 3 wins and 2 seconds
3 x 160cc races and 3 wins and 3 seconds
Rider of the day has to go to Jake Gowing whom suffered manflu after sleeping in the trailer, but still manages 5 wins from 6 races!
Well done Ryan and Jake, roll on the next round!
M2R PIT BIKES – the best bikes for the best riders.

Internal dosimetry
Internal dosimetry is the science and art of internal ionising radiation dose assessment due to radionuclides incorporated inside the human body.[1]
Radionuclides deposited within a body will irradiate tissues and organs and give rise to committed dose until they are excreted from the body or the radionuclide is completely decayed.
The internal doses for workers or members of the public exposed to the intake of radioactive particulates can be estimated using bioassay data such as lung and body counter measurements, urine or faecal radioisotope concentration, etc. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) biokinetic models are applied to establish a relationship between the individual intake and the bioassay measurements, and then to infer the internal dose.
Committed doseEdit
The internal radiation dose due to ingested or inhaled radioactive substances is known as committed dose.
The ICRP defines Committed effective dose, E(t) as the sum of the products of the committed organ or tissue equivalent doses and the appropriate tissue weighting factors WT, where t is the integration time in years following the intake. The commitment period is taken to be 50 years for adults, and to age 70 years for children. [2]
The ICRP further states "For internal exposure, committed effective doses are generally determined from an assessment of the intakes of radionuclides from bioassay measurements or other quantities (e.g., activity retained in the body or in daily excreta). The radiation dose is determined from the intake using recommended dose coefficients".[3]
Routes of intakeEdit
There are a few routes of intake (of radionuclide) namely,
- Inhalation
- Ingestion
- Injection
- Absorption
In an radioactive area, radionuclide particulate may be suspended in the air and can enter the body by inhalation. These particulates may be deposited in different parts of the respiratory tract depending upon their aerodynamic diameter.[4]
Monitoring techniquesEdit
In-vivo monitoring
Internal dose monitoring of the radionuclides which emit radiation which can penetrate out of the body. For example X-rays, gamma rays of sufficient energy. It can be measured by devices such as a whole body counter.
A whole body counter[5] has a low background arrangement with counting systems
- NaI(Tl) detectors for high energy photon detection
- Phoswich detectors with Be window and thin NaI(Tl)crystal and thick CsI(Tl)or CsI(Na), for low energy (<100 keV) photon detection
HPGe detectors are replacing detectors for measuring the low energy and high energy photons with appropriate electronic systems.
Calibration of these systems is carried out with different type of physical and mathematical phantoms. Physical phantoms include BOMAB, LLNL, JAERI, thyroid and the knee phantoms. Some of the renowned mathematical phantoms are MIRD, CRISTY and nowadays voxel phantoms also known as Computational human phantoms.
In-vitro monitoring
Monitoring of the radionuclides present in the body using the bio-assay sample taken out of the body; this includes samples of urine, sweat, feces, etc.
Biokinetic modellingEdit
The ICRP models are used to simulate the distribution of the isotopes inside the human being. All current ICRP models, compiled in the ICRP Database of Dose Coefficients (ICRP 2001),[6] can be represented by compartmental systems with constant coefficients. The conceptual model used by ICRP can be summarized as it follows.
The human body can be divided into three systems:
a) The human respiratory tract model (HRTM). This model is applied for modeling the intake of radioactive aerosols by inhalation. The detailed description is given in ICRP 66 (1994). If a person inhales instantaneously a quantity I, it is deposited directly in some compartments of the HRTM. The fraction deposited in each compartment is called Initial Deposition Fraction or IDF. It is a function of Activity Median Aerodynamic Diameter (AMAD), which includes size, shape, density, anatomical and physiological parameters as well as various conditions of exposure. The IDF values may be calculated either following the procedure described in ICRP 66 (1994) or obtaining it from the Annex F of ICRP 66 (1994). The general model of the HRTM is common to any element except the absorption rates {spt, sp, st} which are related to the chemical form of the element. ICRP gives default values of absorption rates according to types F, M or S.
b) The gastrointestinal tract (GI). This is applied for modeling the intake of particles in the GI tract following the model provided in ICRP 30 (ICRP 1979) and ICRP 105(ICRP 2005). Particles can be introduced in the GI Tract directly by ingestion, or from the RT. Deposition is in the stomach (ST). Part or all the flow is transferred, through SI, to the blood (B). The rate transfer from SI to B, is given by λB = f1 λSI/(1 – f1), where f1 is the fraction of the stable element reaching the blood (or body fluids). If f1 = 1 all flows from the stomach it goes to B. The value of f1 is associated to the element and their chemical form The GI tract model will be replaced by the called Human Alimentary Tract Model (HATM), but it is not published yet.
c) Systemic compartments. They are specific to an element or groups of elements (ICRP 2001). ICRP 78 (1997) establishes three generic groups: (i) hydrogen, cobalt, ruthenium, caesium, and californium, (ii) strontium, radium, and uranium and, (iii) thorium, neptunium, plutonium, americium, and curium. For other elements not included in ICRP78, the ICRP 30 model is applicable and they have the same generalized compartmental model as group (i). For the elements of each group the same model is applied although some parameters are specific to the element. From a mathematical point of view we can establish two groups: a) Elements whose biokinetic model does not involve recycling, this includes the group (i) and the elements where ICRP 30 is still applicable, and b) elements whose biokinetic models involve recycling, this includes group (ii) and (iii). A few computer codes have been developed to estimate intake and calculate internal dose using biassay data.[7]
Bioassay evaluationsEdit
Biokinetic modeling is widely used in internal dosimetry and to evaluate bioassay data. Computer programs can be used for bioassay evaluations.[8] The bioassay measurement values can be used to estimate unknown intake.[9]

Describe a person from their parts of face using adjective and noun
Describing your personality is like writing ads for a product. What makes you unique? Are you the type of person who would ? Your job is to convince your interviewer that you have the perfect personality for the position.
Can anybody define 'vacant' as it would describe a person?
How to Describe a Person's Physical Appearance
Society gives us a pre-defined definition and a sort of vague idea of what most labels represent. For instance, if you labeled person A, then used that label to describe person A to person B, you'd immediately be giving person B a vague idea of what person A is like.
How to Describe a Person | Using Descriptive Words
Well, I would like you to use adjective "Impudent" to describe person with rude behavior. Moreover, it's not offensive at all and you can use it in different situations. For example
To write a descriptive essay, you'll need to describe a person, object, or event so vividly that the reader feels like he/she could reach out and touch it.A term to describe person, who is usually a non-transgender, that is sexually attracted to transgender people. See also Transfan, Tranny Chaser and Transamorous.

Politically Active Hamaspik Resident, State Sen. David Carlucci (D-38th Dist.) Meet Again
June 30, 2016
By Mendy Hecht, Hamaspik Gazette
Speeding neighborhood cars, turnout-friendlier statewide election dates, and even gun-control laws all have one thing in common, if you ask State Sen. David Carlucci: They're all issues brought up at a personal meeting between the public servant and a proud member of his constituency, Mr. Eliezer "Lazer" Friedrich.
Lazer has long been an active follower of politics local and national—with an impressive record of grassroots political activism, to boot.
He's written to, and has received letters from, public servants from the U.S. President on down. And local politicians in the Rockland County he calls home have long known Lazer to pay personal visits from time to time.
This time, it was State Sen. David Carlucci's turn.
On Tuesday, May 31, Sen. Carlucci made good on his agreement to greet Mr. Friedrich at his New City regional offices, with the Senator personally ushering Lazer into his meeting room.
Lazer, who resides at Hamaspik of Rockland County's Forshay Briderheim Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) group home, had plenty to talk about.
For close to one hour, citizen and representative discussed a number of contemporary concerns.
Mr. Friedrich opened the meeting with a request for publicly-funded private-school security in Rockland that would be equivalent to that enjoyed by private schools in New York City.
An insightful request followed, with Lazer asking about the possibility of combining federal and state election dates in New York—a change that would not only be more cost-efficient but which would, in his opinion, significantly increase voter turnout.
The Senator was "amazed" by the practical suggestion, recalls Hamaspik's Yaakov Grunwald, Lazer's Medicaid Service Coordinator (MSC) who arranged Lazer's request for the meeting. Mr. Grunwald, supporting Lazer in attending as well, reports a lively back-and-forth on the issue.
Mr. Friedrich next mentioned legislation being spearheaded by State Sen. Jeff Klein (D-34th Dist.) that would impose tougher gun regulations across the Empire State. Sen. Carlucci admitted earnestly pledged to discuss it with Sen. Klein—a textbook example of American civics at work.
Turning his attention to issues back home, Lazer petitioned his State Senator to lower the speed limit along Forshay Rd., whose Number 48 address is the young man's home.
With that road being the primary traffic corridor in and out of the residential area, transplanted city birds have long been seen zipping along the double-yellow straightaway at speeds well in excess of the local 30-mile-an-hour limit, Mr. Friedrich noted.
Could you do something about it? The Senator said he'd try.
The meeting, arranged weeks in advance by Mr. Grunwald in coordination with Carlucci aide Catherine Oteri, ended with the Senator personally escorting Lazer to the door—moving furniture aside to ensure his wheelchair's clear passage, and expressing an interest in personally visiting 48 Forshay Rd. sometime in the future.
"He thanked Lazer again for coming," says Mr. Grunwald of their parting at the front door. "He was very grateful, and asked Lazer more than once to send in any concerns and to please come again."
Considering that Sen. Carlucci personally greeted Mr. Friedrich as a familiar regular right from the start, you can be sure that the Hamaspik resident and the public servant haven't seen the last of each other just yet.

n one ecosystem and one planetary cycle after another, our impact already exceeds what is sustainable in the long run. We risk not only damaging the diversity and beauty of our natural environment, but endangering the resources and environmental services on which our welfare and survival depend.
The challenge ahead is decisive. It depends critically on what happens to population, consumption and technology, and all the political, social and economic factors that influence them.
Over the next half century, world population is projected to grow by one half. Consumption per person, if it continues at the rate of recent decades, will roughly double. So the overall scale of the world economy, the sum of our demand for products and services, is likely to multiply by around three times. If our current level of efficiency in resource use and waste output were to remain unchanged, then our environmental impact by 2050 would be three times greater than today, even if we did not cross any dangerous thresholds relating to oceans and atmosphere.
Determined action will be needed to bring our impact down to sustainable levels. It will be needed on all three elements -- population, consumption and technology -- and on all the policies, institutions and values that affect them. [Add]
The days when the fertility of hundreds of millions of women could be regarded as a useful instrument of environmental policy are over. Women and their partners make their own decisions about how many children to have.
Nevertheless, governments can help to create the conditions where having fewer children will make sense, and where people have the means to reach their desired fertility. And if fertility can be reduced, there will usually be environmental benefits.
Considerable progress has been made in the past decade in reducing fertility and slowing future population growth rates. The greatest scope for further progress lies in those countries and areas where fertility is still high -- in the northern parts of South Asia, much of the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa. While more than 60 percent of Asian and Latin American women were using some form of contraception in the late 1990s, the figure for Africa was only 20 percent [1]. [Add]
By and large the countries where there is scope for faster progress are also countries that are likely to face severe human and environmental problems from rapid population growth -- land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa, water shortages in the Arab world, and land shortages in South Asia.
Provision of good quality family planning with a choice of methods can have a considerable impact on women's fertility, but the greatest effect is achieved when this is combined with a broad range of measures to improve mother and child health, women's literacy and education, and women's rights more generally. These measures are win-win solutions. All of them are valuable in their own right. Improving human welfare will always be the primary rationale for pursuing them -- but the environmental spin-offs come as an added bonus. [Add]
The consumption factor is perhaps the toughest one to tackle. The poor of the Earth desperately need to increase their incomes. In 1997 the poorest 2 billion people in the world had average real incomes of only US$1 400 -- less than a quarter of the world average and a mere 6 percent of the high-income country average [2].
But even in countries with middle and high incomes people have come to expect steadily increasing prosperity. No politician can hope to get elected on a platform of reducing consumption: leaders who preside over periods of slower economic growth often fail to get re-elected.
A more realistic approach is to divert consumption into channels with lower environmental costs, while ensuring that people still enjoy the end products or services they need for dignity and comfort. The balance of taxes and subsidies can be shifted so as to make environmental "bads" like excessive car or fossil-fuel use less attractive to consumers, and environmental "goods" such as energy-saving technology more attractive.
The Internet, by enabling more people to work from home or shift information and services electronically rather than physically, is reducing the resource requirements of industry and especially services. Changes in culture and values, such as the movement for a simpler, more environmentally friendly lifestyle, are also having an impact on consumer behavior [3]. [Add]
Inevitably, the heaviest burden will fall on the technology element of the equation. If, as is quite likely, the scale of the world economy trebles by 2050, then technological changes will have to reduce the environmental impact of our activities by two thirds -- just to prevent the present rate of damage from increasing.
Since our impact is already unsustainable, the Club of Rome has proposed a Factor Four improvement in resource efficiency (that is, a 75 percent reduction in resource use per unit of production) [4].
However, in the long run that would produce an impact only 25 percent below the present unsustainable level, and may be too modest a target. More probably we need something approaching a Factor Ten reduction -- that is, we would reduce by 90 percent the amount of resources and wastes produced for each unit of consumption, while eliminating poverty and maintaining reasonable standards for all. To reach this target by 2050 would require a 4.5 percent reduction per year. To reach it by 2100 would require a 2.3 percent reduction per year.
Though these rates are higher than those achieved in fuel efficiency over recent decades, we know that at times of technological breakthrough or crisis much faster rates of change are possible. For example, the achievable density of transistors on integrated circuits doubles every two years, an annual increase of 41 percent. Refrigeration technology shifted very rapidly away from the use of chlorofluorocarbons, with an average reduction in CFC production of at least 23 percent a year between 1986 and 1995 [5]. [Add]
A wide range of policies is needed to encourage environmentally friendly technology. Many policies are specific to each different field or area and most are beyond the scope of this atlas.
More general approaches include:
All of these measures would go some way to ensuring that the pricing of goods and services reflects the true environmental costs, thereby encouraging more environmentally sound approaches to consumption and technological development. [Add]
Population-environment links
Because the population, consumption and technology equation is a multiplication sum, actions that reduce any one component in isolation are necessary. However, there is also a range of measures for tackling population and environment jointly.
There was a time when international conferences avoided all explicit linking of population and environment. Conferences in the 1990s, from the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992 onwards, were much more willing to acknowledge the interaction. Yet the areas of population and environment are still seriously underfunded in development assistance, and the United Nations Environment Programme is one of the most impoverished UN agencies.
At the national level there is still ground to be made up. Although most national development plans, national sustainable development strategies and national environmental action plans make some mention of population, it is usually simply a token gesture: the potential contribution of population measures to easing environmental stresses is not usually acknowledged.
At local level there have been many successful integrated programs which encouraged communities to pursue sustainable approaches across the board from environment to population. Efforts to incorporate environmental elements into population and reproductive health programs, and vice versa, have been less successful. The best results for the environment are achieved when these programs focus on doing their core activities as well as possible. Burdening them with extra responsibilities may jeopardize this.
Finally, research into population-environment linkages at every level from village to planet can help to inform policy. International studies of global environmental problems, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, should include scenarios showing the potential impact of slower population growth. [Add]
A number of blockages and bottlenecks can slow our adaptive response to environmental challenges and make disastrous Malthusian outcomes more likely. Various steps can be taken to remove these blocks.
Environmental science and monitoring must be adequately funded. At a minimum we have to know what is going on, and understand the processes and interactions involved. Market imperfections that worsen environmental problems must be removed -- starting with the wide range of subsidies in many countries that encourage activities like fossil-fuel burning or overfishing.
Democratic imperfections need attention too: in less developed countries the people most affected by environmental change, who are usually the poorest, need better access to the political and legal system and to the media. In developed countries state funding of political parties and strict limits on election spending will reduce the influence of business and labor lobbies on government. Freedom of information must be strengthened to allow concerned citizens full access to important environmental data, whether held by governments or private companies.
Finally we need a shift in values towards nature conservation and lower resource use. This is happening spontaneously as environmental problems mount, not just in rich countries but in many developing countries.
If we can mobilize the full range of policy responses, then we can move towards a sustainable relationship with the environment within the next 50 years. The timing is critical: even a decade's delay could trigger threshold effects with incalculable consequences. [Add]

Setting up a studio is not a task to complete in a day or two. Nor should it be completed, in my opinion, until some work is actually done. It's best to let it evolve, and let yourself evolve in it too. I really don't think it will ever be finished.
I thought writing stories about paint, ladders and second hand furniture sourcing would be getting off track a bit, so I decided to wait until some actual work was done. So, the time has come to happily announce that my very own-first ever-tiny studio is up and running somewhere in Hackney (feels good to be back)! These are happy and scary times I must say, the challenge seems enormous sometimes, but somehow I keep going slowly but determined.
I took a picture holding some Japanese natural indigo 'crystals' and realized this is, in a way, what brought me here. Isn't this one amazing thing to have found?
At times I feel as if I never left. It amazes me how easily I could fall into converting everything I lived abroad into a mere distant thought. So I've surrounded myself with little treasures I brought: books, images, things like this vintage happi (はっぴ) coat that belonged to the head of some firemen department around 80 years ago, my dye brushes, katazome stencils, some fabrics and a little pin cushion that Melanie from Sewing circle in Tokyo gave me last year.
The smell of the indigo vat I just made for the first time reminds me of Bryan Whitehead's place. This must be a good sign, but I am still uncertain. There are a lot of tests to be made. Now that I'm on my own, while watching how the indigo reacts, I'm looking forward to this challenge; hoping things turn out well, seeing my products come to life and reaching out to people who would appreciate them.
And finally, some photos of my WIP and the outcome texture. This gave me some grounds to adjust the vat, since I didn't achieve the contrast I was going for. But in general very pleased with what I think is a good start. Wish me luck for everything else to come and may beautiful things come out of my studio. I will try to keep posting often.

The bells on the cafe door jangled quietly about fifteen minutes before closing as Leon was wiping down the condiments the last time for the night- caught embarrassingly, humming the tune to "Peter and the Wolf" and small parts of Wagner operas which he only vaguely recalled in mumbled phrases. Looking up, from the ketchup bottle he was presently de-crusting- he was about to explain the kitchen was closed but was beat to the punch:
"I was in town, I heard this was your newest haunt," Diana looked the same as she did years before when he last saw her- her yellow-blonde hair shoulder length with a single band of braided hair like a headband, the same white and blue gingham shirt and jeans and friendly expression and smiling blue eyes. Her black boots matched the leather choker necklace. the only change being around her wrist she wore a tattoo of fernlike leaves and round clusters of tiny white flowers- it suited her well."Hey there stranger, it's been a while. I honestly cannot recall where we lost touch."
"Yeah, I was on tour- a little bit of everywhere, I kinda lost touch with everyone."
"No worries, I was pretty low and on so much shit I couldn't remember my own name for a while… I got this to show for it" replied Leon wryly, raising his pant leg to reveal an ankle tracker. "I have been stuck in this shit town since I got out of prison- I was so fucked up I don't even remember what the fuck I did."
"No worries, bro- I was always the last person to follow up on gossip, I don't really care. "
"Still no cell phone, eh?"
"Not one that anyone has the number to, buddy." she smiled "Hey, listen- I came by because I was wondering if you might want to come with me to New Berlin tomorrow morning. A sculpture I designed got installed and I want a good Heathen with me to see if they did it right- On the equinox, it's supposed to cast just the right shadow if it was set up right, but it doesn't mean a thing if no one is there to see it at sunrise." Leon sighed and thumped his left leg on the table- pointing again at the ankle tracker
"I would… but… I am unable to leave Lakeside for a long time yet"
Diana reached into a rucksack she had over her shoulder and brought out what appeared to be a smoke alarm.
"Is anyone else closing with you?"
"Nope, just me."
"Fantastic" and with that, she held the round, white device to the ankle bracelet and pressed a button on the front- the locking mechanism released and she was careful to keep the device held tightly to it as she moved it to around the leg of the table, "This thing prevents the circuit from being broken and transmitting that it was removed." She carefully reconnected the bracelet around the table leg before removing the smoke-alarm looking device and placing it back into her bag.
"Tamper-resistant is not Diana-resistant, apparently. I thought you hated all technology."
"Oh, I still do. I hate it enough to thwart it every opportunity."
"They are going to look for me, you know- I really fucked up my life."
"Everyone fucks up, Leon- do you want to get out of this shit town or not?"
"Fuck yes."
"Are you willing to do anything?"
"Well, I let you break my probation in the first fifteen minutes of seeing you again- I guess I must trust you."
"We were neighbors for ten years, man- that sort of frith is hard to shake- and I hate owing anyone like I owe you."
"You don't owe me anything, Diana-"
Reaching again into her rucksack, she brought out a pair of flip-flops and tossed them- he struggled but caught them.
"I do owe you, friendship is enough: Keep your socks on Japanese style, it's fucking cold… you said people will look for you, the last thing we need is a trail. Leave your shoes here."
"Where are we going?"
"New Berlin."
"How? Won't people see us leave? Where did you park?"
"The other side of the lake and they won't see a thing- let's go." Leon carefully left his shoes in the backroom behind several stacks of boxes and carefully locked up the cafe, Diana looked at the sky wistfully, "Leon- it's a woods adventure just like when we were kids. Even the sky looks the same. The only thing missing is the fireflies."
"And weed…but I snuck a few hits at work from one of the servers. The tracker doesn't detect cannabis, thank Gods"
"…I can't help you there, but I got better- I brought my flask, it's good. Homemade mead, aged at least eight years. I literally buried it at the old place just so I would have it for later."
"Three rounds?"
"Whatever you like, it's all yours. You'll need it: We are going for a swim."
"You're insane- the lake is frozen!"
"Correction, half frozen… it's more slushy than anything. I still keep everything I own in the car, However, you do not seem like a practiced polar bear so I suggest tossing your clothes so they don't weigh you down."
"I'll freeze my balls off."
"Funny, I never had that issue."
The lake was located behind the cafe past the dumpster, Leon stripped down to his boxers and kept his socks and flip-flops tossing his remaining clothes in with the assurance that Diana was roughly his size and the clothes in her car would still fit him well enough, while Diana also stripped down to her underwear but put her clothes into her rucksack. It might have been awkward if they hadn't known each other since childhood, or at least, it Diana showed no signs of discomfort despite the cold or lack of dress.
"How are we going to do this? Aren't you concerned about hypothermia?"
"Just hold in your breath, until you come back up in full on the other side. After the initial shock of the cold, you will feel fine. Follow me."
Diana dove gracefully into the thick water and disappeared, it was not a large lake- perhaps more like a glorified pond with a couple of docks. The moonlight on the rough half-frozen surface made it appear mushy and porridge-like and not particularly welcoming. Leon was more cautious and waded halfway into the thick water tentatively a few steps before taking a deep breath and plunging fully into the water; which was the last thing he recalled as his head went beneath the ice
Next thing he knew, he was wearing fresh clothes and riding in the passenger side of Diana's aging Mustang- already in the city.
"Hey buddy- you okay? I didn't expect you to get hypothermia so quickly. I guess I forget what it's like when you aren't used to washing up in the cold like I am."
"I'm not even shivering, I feel fine- what happened?"
"Doesn't matter, you made it out okay, and you aren't naked. Good thing we stayed about the same size over the years you skinny bastard- isn't New Berlin beautiful?"
It was beautiful- despite the early morning darkness, handsome people of all ages in business attire were walking briskly on the city sidewalks with purpose in all directions. The white marble buildings reflected the street lamps and traffic lights as if the structures were clothed in the colors they reflected. He had not seen the city in years, and when he did- it was under a different name and dilapidated seemingly beyond repair: Gone was the graffiti and boarded of buildings of the past he recalled. No more windows covered in iron grating or sad businesses locked up with chains and metal doors. The tacky scrolling marquis was replaced by glorious carved architecture and the windows of the skyscrapers above shined like stars.
"The roads seem a lot wider than I remember," Leon noted.
" I think it is so people have ample opportunity to turn around." she replied. It was an odd statement, but he didn't know quite how to respond. "Ah, here we are!" she exclaimed as she pulled in front of the forgettable facade of one of the many tall buildings in center city. "This building has the absolute best view- and we still have about 20 minutes to get to the thirteenth floor."
Unlike the other buildings in which lights flickered in the myriad of windows- this one was still black and seemingly asleep of human activity. They were not stopped as they entered, the security guard post was presently absent and Leon assumed he must have stepped out only for a moment- for there was only a very well trained black Alsatian dog wearing a red vest who approached him and gave a quick sniff.
"Hello puppy, are you the security guard on duty?" asked Leon in that stupidly high pitched voice people only use to greet dogs and infants. Diana rolled her eyes and the dog simple sat politely for scritches and made a sort of sound that sounded like a 'borf' in response.
"Do you want to keep petting the security or do you want to see something life-changing?" The dog snorted at Diana as if he understood her and wandered back behind the reception desk. Leon sighed and walked towards the elevators as Diana pressed the button for the elevator in the nondescript lobby and the door promptly opened the rode the elevator in silence until the door opened into a large hallway with floor to ceiling windows. The floor was of marble parquet mostly in white except for a large pattern in front of the one window which looked either to be a stylized sundial or a compass rose in a variety of colors. Diana walked excitedly to the center of it and motioned Leon to look outside the window.
Where there once was a statue of an old man with a scroll, there was now a figure with wings.
"…An angel?" he asked.
"Angels are technically depicted male or genderless- look again!" she exclaimed…And so he did, which was when he noticed in the dawning light the statue was holding a spear in one hand and a drinking horn in the other- the statue was indeed female depicted in a long gown beneath ornate armor, her skin was platinum white and her hair shined of golden metals. Those wings! Each feather was an individual slender pane of glass that caught sunlight and glowed brilliantly.
"A Valkyrie! Diana- she's brilliant! When you said you created art I had no idea that it was of this magnitude- the entire city can see this forever. She is beautiful; I can't think of anything more magnificent I have seen in all my life. It sure beats the statue of the old man pissing on the city before."
"It gets better, look behind you." So Leon turned and he saw Diana in the middle of the compass pattern and behind her, the dawning light reflected through the glass of the Valkyrie's wings recreated the grand wingspan of light on the wall behind Diana- making the wings to appear as her own. "Four times a year, any woman who stands in one of the four buildings around city hall can feel like a Disir, even for only a moment- and the spear and horn create secret shadows as well. Look up."
Sure enough, the shadows of the spear and horn created rough, angular symbols that were vaguely runic in appearance.
"They don't look like any runes that I have ever seen- what are they?"
"Numbers. It's the pentimal system- I learned it just after I saw you last."
"That is genius, what does it mean?"
"What numbers to push in the elevator." The sun was rising high in the sky and the patterns on the wall from the Valkyrie statue were diffusing. Diana walked with purpose to the elevator with Leon following- she pressed a few numbers in what appeared to be a specific order and the elevator lurched and hummed oddly before descending much more quickly than it rose before.
The door opened and mist flowed around them- before them, a bridge and the sound of fastly rushing water far below.
"…Shit." muttered Leon, and Diana simply raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I owe you, mostly, simply that you were honest regarding my memory. You did not canonize me nor did you destroy yourself over me. When it was time to get you, it was my honor to retrieve you myself. I just made your journey slightly easier than it would have been on your own. Go on, over the bridge- it's a good place. I'll see you there when I can. But, I still have a lot to work to do because of my own impatience." she said, pointing at the leather strap around her neck, " I took your debt and crossed you myself so you wouldn't have the same obligations I do. Go on… shoo. Next time you see Garm you might not want to talk to him like a poodle, though."
In Lakeside, police tape was being strung around the frozen lake- the film crews with their sleepy reporters were finding their places to report the drowning of a man who would be promptly forgotten as the garbagemen made their rounds emptying the dumpsters none the wiser. For a few days, people exchanged meaningless atheistic sympathies- as Leon's death was quickly and intentionally forgotten except for the placement of a small sign that warned against swimming in the lake.

This post is unedited except for cursory spell checking. The story idea has been in my head forever- I always kind of figured people who intentionally commit suicide would be put to work by Hel herself to guide other people to the afterlife, but that is just my own UPG and I hold no claim to the veracity of it. I have lost many friends to early death over the years…especially in Autumn.

Andrea Cochran: Landscapes for our times
Home & garden A San Francisco garden designer followed her own path to suit the times
Andrea Cochran has finessed large and small residential gardens and winery estates during the last decade into a body of work that is like nothing we've seen before.
"I felt liberated in this climate to experiment with things I could not have done back East," says the landscape architect, who arrived in San Francisco in the 1980s from New England. "I was influenced by artists Donald Judd and Robert Irwin," who designed the gardens at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Using established principles of modernist landscape planning that she learned at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Cochran, 55, creates artful spaces animated with unexpected materials: zigzagging Cor-Ten-lined paths juxtaposed against large expanses of grass, which are bordered by unusual grasses and patches of green and gravel-covered terraces. And yet, the result is always restful.
In a new book, "Andrea Cochran: Landscapes," by Maria Myers, Cochran's avant-garde gardens are showcased along with detailed floor plans. The West Coast landscapes echo another age; yet with geometric trails and sculptural beds, they also feel contemporary.
"Gardens are markers of time," says Cochran, whose work is conceptually in line with West Coast modernists Garrett Eckbo, Thomas Church and Lawrence Halprin. Cochran has followed their lead but taken her own path to shape gardens of her own time.
"I want to preserve our moment," she says.
In Palo Alto, Cochran planted a swath of swirling Mondo grass under a row of rustling eucalyptus trees juxtaposed against a courtyard filled with crushed granite. It is a composition of sound and textures. In another section of the same garden, to be viewed from indoors, low cutouts in a hallway wall frame three sculptures that represent a garden's friends and foe - a gushing geyser, soft fog and hard ice - made possible with 21st century computer software and timers.
Most of the private gardens shown in the 192-page book, mostly from the Bay Area, also feature elements that were favored by past giants such as Mexican architect Luis Barragan and French landscape designer Le Notre - reflecting pools, high walls, long paths with unexpected vistas and cascading stairways - but they are engineered using thin slabs of Cor-Ten steel, ribbons of LED lights, slender piers buttressed by uncut boulders and sculptural, undulating planters of steel.
A wide stone-paved pathway leading to a Hillsborough mansion is broken - in keeping with feng shui principles - by clumps of horsetail reeds that are like sentinels to ward off bad spirits. Such combinations make Cochran's gardens compelling and certainly compatible with the Bay Area's technologically agile, spiritual and green design sensibilities today.
Cochran on recurring garden features
Sculpture: "You can't replace old trees," says Cochran, who uses them as timeless sculpture. Any landscape design is also art. "You can walk through a landscape as you would through a Richard Serra sculpture," she says.
In one winery garden, a pyramidal mound designed to screen off a neighbor's house is also sculptural.
Walkways: "A path should lead you through a sequence of experiences and outdoor rooms in the garden," Cochran says. A gravel path introduces sounds into a garden, and bamboo planted alongside will rustle in the wind. Fragrant ground cover makes a path sensual.
Walls: A 6-foot fence is an inadequate enclosure. "Architect Luis Barragan had walls 20 feet high," Cochran says. "But I like tall walls that are permeable."
Walls with cutouts and inset acrylic panels let light in; a row of feathery Mexican grass is a soft wall; perforated aluminum walls will let light and air pass through.
Beds: Instead of conventional beds, "I like areas of plantings or a line of planting lit by LEDs. Bands and bars of one kind of plant create a rhythm in the garden." Cochran uses such bars to delineate steps on down-sloping lots and in gardens viewed from above. "Bar plantings make the steps imperceptible. When you enter the garden, the stairs come as a surprise," she says.
Reflection: "A reflecting pool tucked against a building can diffuse harsh corners," Cochran says. A pool can reflect tall trees or the sky. Pools are also light reflectors and they "bring greenery to life." At Curran House, a low-cost housing structure in San Francisco, Cochran's narrow pool with bubbling water mitigates street noise.
Patterns: "I don't like decorative patterns. I like to plant spaces with different things. and sometimes they form unexpected patterns," Cochran says. A client's feng shui philosophy led to a paved path that is broken by clumps of horsetail reeds. "The pattern helped to diffuse the chi and solved a problem."
Plantings: "I choose plants for their intrinsic structure," Cochran says. Plants become hedges, walls or surfaces to walk on. In Cochran's designs, plant colors or textures are used like paint on a canvas. "I like Mediterranean grasses and plants that need little water," she says. Her preferences are for hellebores; Mondo grass for ground cover; bamboo and horsetail for walls. "Horsetail is invasive so it has to be planted carefully," she warns.
