A queen cup (a.k.a. a cell cup) is a cell the bees build in case it becomes necessary to create a new queen in a hurry, and it can look like this:
That's what a fresh queen cup looks like on new plastic foundation. I should have taken another photo from the top because most new beekeepers will notice them from above. (See A cup fit for a queen at Honey Bee Suite for higher view, or my post from last year, Possible Swarm Cell, for a real beauty shot of a queen cup when I didn't know what a queen cup was.) Drone cells poke out like bullets, sort of. Queen cups are more rounded. They poke out and are open on the bottom. Here's a few of them clumped together, maybe mixed up with some drone cells:
We noticed several of these queen cups during inspections yesterday. Queen cups become swarm cells when a colony is ready to reproduce or supercedure cells when the old queen is dead or injured or failing and needs to be replaced. The presence of a queen cup doesn't mean any of that will happen, though. See Is it a swarm cell or a supercedure cell? at Honey Bee Suite for more info.

Gone Fishin'… With a Little Help from RFID Tags and Barcodes
Avid fishermen in Oregon and Washington State have no need to worry about fish populations. Fish and Wildlife Departments utilize RFID tags to monitor fish populations and determine sport fishing seasons, fish limits, and where closures must be made. Learn More.
In other fishing news, season pass holders for private fishing grounds have barcodes to thank for a quick start to their fishing day. Many of these fishing grounds have given season pass holders a barcoded ID tag to allow them fast and efficient admission to fishing grounds – far ahead of daily pass holders. Isn't the expression, "The early bird gets the… fish?!" Learn More.
L-Tron Corporation and Honeywell Scanning & Mobility have partnered together for nearly 30 years. In 1983, L-Tron was one of the first channel partners to begin working with Welch Allyn Data Collection. Welch Allyn later merged with Hand Held Products to become HHP in 1999. In 2007, the company was acquired by Honeywell to form Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. Today, L-Tron is proud to maintain a close relationship with Honeywell Scanning & Mobility, an industry leader in laser- and image-based data collection, including mobile computing and barcode scanning.
Throughout our partnership, L-Tron has seen today's consumer devices shift from cell phones to smartphones, while the demand for all-in-one enterprise devices has grown exponentially. Laura Kelleher, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility's Director of Marketing, Americas, recently answered some questions for us regarding the evolution of scanning and computing devices in enterprise-based applications. Here is what she had to say.
Q: What types of enterprises are using consumer-grade devices to manage their automation?
A: This shift is occurring in more consumer-facing applications, including retail in-store and healthcare point-of-care.
In supply chain applications, a premium is still placed on device security and ruggedness, a factor that is continuing to drive the need for industrial-class mobile devices for workers on the floor or in trucks. The combination of mobility and PC functionality that a warehouse or fleet supervisor can get from a rugged hand-held or tablet form factor can replace an office PC and allow that supervisor to perform tasks and handle expectations more efficiently.
There is also greater mobility in other functions, such as quality control, maintenance, and receiving – areas where the worker may previously have had a fixed PC workstation or a laptop. These workers want the whole office at hand, without having to carry a laptop around. Enterprise leaders need to determine whether a rugged or semi-rugged device would deliver a lower cost of ownership for these applications, or if a consumer-grade device would do.
Q: Will enterprises begin deploying a mix of rugged devices for some workers and consumer devices for others?
A: There's definitely more diversity in deployed devices. The objective for businesses is to optimize each worker's productivity at each node along a workflow, by providing the right data capture device for that specific task.
Q: Are some enterprises resistant to this type of "Big Data" deployment?
A: Not really, simply because the technology is so customizable that it's hard to feel force-fed. The supply chains that don't have real-time visibility from the point of sale all the way back to the point of manufacture will have difficulty meeting consumer demand. The advice I'd give a business struggling with too many data-capture options is to find a partner who can help optimize each step in their workflow in a way that is scalable and future-proof, and enable them to manage their entire system from a single remote location.

Spies have used sex as a weapon as long as there have been spies. There are some good reasons. First of all, using sex works because it should, albeit temporarily, put the "honey trap" victim in a relaxed, happy mode. Pillow talk can be a very useful source of information. And if the spy works it correctly, the victim may fall in love with the spy, making the all important job of gathering information all the more easy.
Secondly, sex has wonderful blackmail potential, because the married businessman or compromised government agent doesn't want it known they have been rolling in the hay with the enemy.
Seduction is a powerful weapon. During the Cold War, the East German Communist government employed operatives dubbed "Romeos" to wine, dine and seduce secretaries at NATO's New York headquarters. The men had to be charming, sexually accomplished, good listeners and install themselves in any situation as "the center of attention". That way, the poor unsuspecting secretary usually came to him, not him to her. The next stage in the operation was to foster a romance, propose marriage and then admit that he was a "spy", but for a friendly country (like Canada). The last sting was to break the sad (but false) news that he was in trouble for not producing results and would be sent back home unless she could come up with some information so his "friendly" handlers would be happy. It was amazingly successful. And the poor women thought it was all very harmless.
In 2013, The Chicago Tribune credited former KGB General Oleg Kalugin with a telling quote:
"In America, in the West, occasionally you ask your men to stand up for their country. There's very little difference. In Russia, we just ask our young women to lay down."
But China is the seductive spy nation to watch for these days. In 2011, a UK trade mission to China, complete with government officials and UK billionaire Richard Branson, was compromised when a UK official's Blackberry was stolen by a young Chinese woman he had taken back to his hotel room. The device did not contain any top secret information, but it would have given Chinese spies access to high level government emails. The whole affair was more embarrassing than harmful.
The honey trap has taken a twist in the digital age. It's not about sex, but rather access. A training video for defense contractors shows a man picking up a woman in a bar. Back in his hotel room, she drugs him and while he sleeps she implants tracking devices and does a trawl for information on his laptop and wireless devices.
Sex and spies just seem to go together. Here are five spies, male and female, who have used sex as a potent weapon.
5 Roald Dahl
If most people have heard of Dahl, it is as a popular author of children's fiction. But during World War II he was a handsome spy, with a seductive bedside manner who bedded American women in order to elicit information.
Before the U.S. entered World War II in 1942, the British, especially Prime Minister Winston Churchill, worked hard to woo President Franklin Roosevelt and the military might he controlled. Without American firepower, no one gave the Brits much of a chance against Hitler's Germany. Churchill all but courted Roosevelt, with frequent letters and visits. Americans, still smarting from World War I, wanted nothing to do with what they saw as a European problem.
Roosevelt was playing hard to get and it was only after Pearl Harbor in 1942 that America entered the war. A small part of this British effort to influence the American Government, Roald Dahl, was a handsome former RAF flyboy ace whose American mission was a simple one. He was to bed wealthy and influential women and get whatever information he could. One of his conquests was the formidable Clare Booth Luce. She was rich and powerful and was the first American woman to be appointed to an ambassadorial post. Said one friend of Dahl, "I think he slept with everybody on the east and west coasts that [was worth] more than $50,000 a year." Apparently, Luce wore him out and he tried unsuccessfully to be taken off of his overly strenuous assignment. His handlers sent him back for more. Moderately successful in picking up gossip and rumor, he passed-on some pillow talk, including a rumor that Roosevelt was having an affair with a Norwegian princess.
4 4. Mata Hari
"Mata Hari had a very wicked reputation. She was willing to be thrilling for her information." Or so the old song goes. The real story is less clear cut. Essentially orphaned, Margaretha Zelle left the Netherlands in 1905 to seek fame and fortune in Paris. She got plenty of fame when she became a famous, some say infamous, exotic dancer and notorious courtesan. The tall, dark, exotic dancer took on the stage name of Mata Hari. And the rest is history.
The French grew suspicious of her activities and in 1916 she was arrested and tried as a German spy. She was accused and convicted of using sexual favors in exchange for information. She was summarily executed by firing squad in October of 1917. Stories vary as to whether she actually confessed, but German documents unearthed after the war have put her firmly in the German spy camp. After her death, no one claimed her body, which was donated to medical research. In a bizarre twist, it was later discovered that her head had gone missing.
3 Christine Keeler
Take a suspect doctor with Russian friends, a model and a government minister and what do you get? The Profumo Affair. Christine Keeler, a fun, fun swinging girl of the 1960's had been used by MI5 to seduce a Russian naval attaché. She went on to make friends with Dr. Stephen Ward, an osteopath with Russian connections. They lived together for a time and it was Ward who introduced her to the Secretary of State for War, John Profumo. It would have been hard for him to miss her that day, as she was swimming naked in Lord Astor's swimming pool. Her sidekick in good times, model/escort Mandy Rice-Davies was rumored to have had an affair with the august Lord.
Profumo and Keeler had a brief affair before Keeler moved on to affairs with other men. One of her paramours tried to shoot her while she hid out in her West End house. The culprit's arrest meant that Keeler and her escort activities made a big splash in the press. The press soon uncovered Keeler's connection to John Profumo. As a result, the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan was disgraced. The scandal was huge and Profumo resigned. Ward was tried on a bogus charge (probably cooked up by a vengeful government) of living off Keeler's and Rice-Davies supposed "illicit earnings". Humiliated and distraught, Ward committed suicide. Keeler went on to a series of failed marriages.
2 2. Ellen Rometsch
You will be forgiven for never having heard of this femme fatale East German spy who, in the 1960's reportedly had an affair with non other than President John F. Kennedy. It was juicy stuff. Rometsch was a call girl at Washington D.C.'s Quorum Club (the politicians did not come in the front door). JFK was no stranger to affairs, having had a brief fling with none other than Marilyn Monroe. But this one was dangerous. As always, poor old baby brother (and Attorney General) Bobby Kennedy was left the task of shipping Rometsch back to Europe and making certain she didn't talk. She probably went back to East Germany with a chunk of the Kennedy fortune. Bobby was also given the unpleasant job of heading off J. Edgar Hoover's FBI investigation of the mess. Hoover was not a big fan of the Kennedys and so it must have been quite a task.
1 Anna Chapman
One of several suspected Russian spies arrested in New York in 2010, Chapman had married a British citizen, gotten a British passport and moved to the U.S. She supposedly ran an international property company, but was really employed by the Russians to solicit information by whatever means. She "dated" a number of rich and important men. After her arrest and trial, she was deported back to Russia, where she transformed herself into a TV personality.
Recent rumors concern a possible engagement to noted National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, now a resident in Russia. Her British husband divorced her and sold his story to the tabloids. Before Chapman's arrest, he claims not to have noticed anything unusual, save for the fact that her nonexistent property company had 50 "employees". He did say a few nice things in parting. Namely, that was she was kinky and good in bed.

Recent diversity studies have shown a worrying trend. Organisations are failing to take diversity issues seriously, and although many have claimed to support the idea they appear to be actually doing very little to support it. HR Magazine ran a Diversity Survey to investigate if decision makers are acting on their diversity strategies. HR departments must fight to push the benefits of diversity and inclusion to senior management in order for them to bring about change effectively. In a report entitled Equality and Diversity, only twelve per cent of respondents stated that diversity and inclusion was "a top priority" in their organisation.
The organisations that were surveyed seemed to value having a diversity policy and expressed that it enabled them to attract and keep the best talent in their workforce, as well as helping their customers to relate better and to increase the circulation of ideas.
Despite this HR magazine found that 16% of companies had still failed to address issues regarding age equality, with nearly half ignoring sexual orientation, more than a quarter not addressing ethnic origin and a fifth not having any disability measures in place. An enormous 70% had failed to address diversity and inclusion regarding nationality.
HR teams have a vital role to play in making sure that diversity is not viewed merely as an add-on, becoming a tick-box exercise, but as a central part of how a business works. While diversity is common in the recruitment policy of many organisations, few were able to agree that their board members diversity mirrors that of their customers. HR directors must be resilient and influential when it comes to communicating with the board and change their opinion from viewing diversity as a "must be done" issue to be got out of the way rather than something they actually need and should want to do in order to have a successful business with the best quality people.

Entertainment industry is the most important and continuously developing segment of the economy. There are many other supporting sub industries that are directly related in growth of the entertainment industry. Entertainment is the most necessary part of all human beings and when it comes to kids having variety of entertainment is important. Considering this demand there are numerous kids channels in India. To name a few top cartoon channels which are Cartoon Network (India), Hungama TV, BabyTV, Pogo TV, Sonic, Disney XD ,Disney Junior etc and many more.
These days Chhota Bheem is the most favourite cartoon character in India. Chhota Bheem is the very enthusiastic, intelligent, and courageous young boy who lives in Dholakpur village which is the part of rural India. Chhota Bheem is purely the fictional story. Chhota means small. The boy in this story is merely of 8-9 year old hence he is called as Chhota Bheem. The story reloves around kigdom, king, princess, and his enemies and how this Chhota Bheem helps everyone when they are in trouble.
Chhota Bheem is the purely Indian animation series. It is one of the most popular animation series aired on Pogo Channel. This series has won the most prestigious Golden Cursor Award for the year 2009. This animation series is the most popular series due to significant characters to the kids and it's dialect . The estimated value of this show is around ₹ 300 crores in India with more than 40 millions of viewers across the world.
The mastermind behind Chhota Bheem is Rajiv Chilaka. He establish animation studio in the year 2001 ans named online-animation-course it as Green Gold Animation. Rajiv has to put lot of effort to establish a new concept of Indian animation content. But he becomes successful after the production of various mythological stories like Vikram Betal and Krishna story series. These series were aired on Pogo Channel.
After almost of 5 years of working finally Chhota Bheem was ready to rock on Indian kids mind. In the year 2008 it firt appeared on Pogo TV and later the success is still on with total seven seasons which consists around 425 episodes in it.

You need to be using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO
2 comments:
Hi Ric,ReplyDelete
Oracle provides different layers of instrumentation for us: service/module/action/client_id.
We are using all of these stuff in our applications.
I very dissatisfied that PL/SQL lacks the ability to setup ECID (Execution Context ID).
Most of our applications use JDBC (Thin) to connect to database.
But we also have DB side scheduler jobs.
We could mimic the ECID functionality using some other instrumentation fields (module/action/client_id), but the ability to setup ECID in PL/SQL would be better.
I created enhancement request in the past: Bug 21752180 : SETUP ECID THROUGH PLSQL, which is still not resolved.
Best regards,
Hi Mikhail,ReplyDelete
I'll be honest that I'm not familiar with Execution Context ID. I did do a quick look up on this in the Oracle docs and apparently it can be set within the Fusion Middle ware context, but as you correctly point out not directly within PL/SQL. Given that PL/SQL is a database language I guess I understand why something like this isn't available within the native PL/SQL. But it sure seems like something that some sort of packaged (Like DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO) could be set up for this. I'll have to take some more time and look into this. Thanks much for the comment!

Yeah, that's right.
I never wanted to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher or astronaut or rocket scientist.
I just wanted to grow up to be different.
Think different.
Act different.
I wanted to be an Original.
Break the status quo.
- Choose my own path.
- Live my own dream.
- Stay inside the lines long enough to gain their trust.
- Then start wrecking havoc.
I wanted to be…
- A misfit.
- A rebel.
- A troublemaker.
I never quite wanted to fit in.
But then I turned 23. And now I'm expected to grow up and get a high paying job. Buy a car and a house. And work every day for the rest of forever.
But what so original about that?

Authorities in Cancún have ordered a temporary halt to the construction of a new 450-room hotel after questions were raised about the project's authorizations.
The Benito Juárez municipal government issued the provisional suspension against the Gran Solaris hotel following the presentation on November 27 of an appeal for revision by two municipal councilors. They have questioned several authorizations issued by the local Secretariat of Ecology and Urban Development.
The developer, Villas Solaris, was granted a permit in June to build the 16-story project on coastal land next to Playa Delfines in the hotel zone.
Among the permissions queried are the development's construction license and land use consent. The councilors also queried an allegedly illegal decision made in 2004 which approved the amalgamation of three separate parcels of land with different land use regulations.
Together the three lots constitute the 18,844-square-meter site where the hotel is slated to be built. Critics of the project also say that the positioning of metal structures on a section of the site where marine turtles nest had led to many of the sea creatures dying.
One day after the appeal was lodged, the municipal government's trustee for the project announced that a provisional suspension had been put in place and would remain in effect while questions about the legitimacy and legality of the project are investigated.
"We took the decision to approve the suspension request . . . for the purpose of reviewing the state of the aforementioned project," Mirna Karina Martínez said.
However, she explained that the suspension did not mean that the project would be permanently shut down and that if it is found to be in compliance with the law, it will go ahead.
Mayor Remberto Estrada Barba said public opposition to the project was also a factor in suspending work. His government is in favor of investment through real estate development, he said, but it must be sustainable and legal.
Several residents protested the project with a demonstration two weeks ago. One said the hotel would block one of eight remaining beaches to which the public has access.
Officials who head the departments whose authorizations have been called into question have been given five days to present evidence that shows they were issued legally.
The secretary of ecology and urban development, the general director of urban development and the directors of ecology and the land registry are among those who have been asked to provide documentary proof of their decisions.
The developer has also been called on to present the permits it has been granted.
A further hearing on the matter will be held on December 13. In the meantime, the developer is prohibited from carrying out any further work on the site including the removal of vegetation, infill work or any other activity related to the construction of the hotel.

Watu Wote (All of us), a short film based on the December 2015 terror attack in northern Kenya during which a group of Muslims protected Christian passengers when suspected Islamic extremists ambushed their bus, has been nominated for Best Live Action short film at the 90th Oscar Awards.
Gunmen sprayed the bus with bullets, killing two passengers. But when they asked the 62 Muslims to identify the Christian passengers, the Muslims refused, telling the militants "to kill them together or leave them alone".
Salah Farah, a teacher who was shot during the incident and died weeks after, became a symbol of unity.
The nomination was confirmed Tuesday when the complete list was posted on the Academy Awards' official page. The awards are slated for March 4.
"We were touched by the story … that in a situation like this one humanity could win," Katja Benrath, the film's director and a student at Hamburg Media School in Germany told Religion News Services (RNS) last year.
"In this life-threatening moment, people stood up for each other — not caring about the religion of the next person because they wanted to save and shield human beings," Benrath said.
RNS reported that although three German students filmed the 20-minute documentary and conducted their research in Mandera, the film was shot in other regions with a similar landscape i.e Nairobi, Mwingi and Magadi.
"Even when we travelled to Mandera and talked to people, they showed respect for each other and were aware that they needed one another to build a strong community," Benrath said.

SLS AMG Does A Few Quick Laps In Spain
Mercedes Benz recently released a video showing the new electric SLS AMG super-electric-car doing a few quick laps around a race track down in Spain. The beautiful chromatic SLS AMG is shown doing some basic driving on a closed course, but with every change of direction the paint shimmers which makes this EV look stunning.
The video does not give out much information on this Tesla or Fisker competitor, but in this article they did release some stats that include:
- 0-62 mph (0-100km/hr): 3.9 seconds
- top speed: 155 mph
- battery capacity: 60 kWh (made by UK-based AMG High Performance Powertrains Ltd in Brixworth)
- battery weight: 548 kg (1,208lbs)
- range: up to 150 miles
Take a look at the video below:

Between this and the SmartForTwo ED Daimler needs a few plug-ins in between.
How about a GLK PHEV with a diesel engine and 30+ miles AER to compete with the forthcoming Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV? A Sprinter BEV van? A C-class EV?
A PHEV Sprinter that blows the upcoming Ford Transit van out of the MPG water and somehow escapes the Chicken Tax is my fantasy vehicle. A BEV Sprinter is too limited. I'd even buy a hybrid Sprinter or Ford Transit. Just think of the RV platform THAT would be!
Agreed! The GLK is a sharp looking vehicle, if Daimler turns this into a plug in hybrid they would have a winner in their hands. My wife has her eyes on this car but I keep reminding her that you can't plug it in.

Brother of June Sarpong modelled for high-fashion brands and co-hosted MTV's 'Yo Momma'
Model, actor and TV presenter Sam Sarpong has died at the age of 40.
Sarpong – brother of former T4 presenter June – jumped to his death from a bridge in Pasadena, California on Monday. The local coroner's office has said his death is being investigated as a possible suicide, though the cause will not be confirmed until toxicology tests are completed.
Samuel Osei "Sam" Sarpong, Jr. was born in London but moved to California with his father at the age of 11. During a highly successful modelling career, he appeared in catwalk shows for high-fashion brands including Versace, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, and served as the face of Tommy Hilfiger for six years.
He also co-hosted the MTV reality series Yo Momma, which revolved around celebrities insulting their mothers, for three seasons from 2006-7.
Sarpong worked prolifically as an actor over the last decade as well, making guest appearance in US TV dramas including Bones, 24 and Veronica Mars.
US rapper and TV presenter Nick Cannon paid tribute on Instagram last night, describing Sarpong as a "great soul" with a "great heart".

The New York Times recently ran a story on BHO's conduct of the terror war. He was never committed to his liberal rhetoric* on the subject, the piece argues, and granted himself flexibility. Among other things, his administration uses a fraudulent method of counting civilian deaths. The article emphasizes Obama's personal role- he decides who to kill, and he and his team deliberate in secret on what is and is not legal and moral, setting their own limits.
The piece relied heavily on leaks, leading naturally to speculation that the administration planted the story to portray Obama as solid anti-terror fighter. Charles Krauthammer:
The piece relied heavily on leaks, naturally, which has led to speculation that the piece was a plant to paint Obama as tough on national security. Great detail on how Obama personally runs the assassination campaign. On-the-record quotes from the highest officials. This was no leak. This was a White House press release.
Obama was really pursuing flexibility, declaring independence from the Bush/Cheney rhetoric rather than tying himself down to a liberal position. If you say we are committed to victory, you have to fight until you win a victory. If you beat the drums of a Long, Global War on Terror, you are asking the public for an emotional commitment, and you leave your government little room for steps that seem to signal less than all-out commitment, in service of lesser goals such as international opinion; plus, you're in trouble once that commitment starts to die down, as it had by the time of his election.
** Krauthammer notes that Obama got criticized for his ads exploiting the bin Laden killing, but Republicans and other critics appealed to the very same idea (don't politicize foreign policy) that Democrats appealed to in the Bush years, which is why the sides traded hypocrisy charges. This criticism doesn't mean the ad was ineffective, any more than criticism of Bush's "politicizing" of foreign policy meant it was ineffective.

Giveaway Update 09/19/13: Congratulations to the winners of Pumpkin Circle and Pumpkin Jack. So far, the winners are:
Katie B., Lynn N., Renee C., and Julie G.
I am awaiting a response from the other winners before posting their names.
Thank you for entering.
It is hard to believe it is already time to start preparing for Halloween. I will have to look for these books.ReplyDelete
I must admit the cool weather in our area prompted me to get a head start with this review and activity. But, that means more time to read autumn-themed books. :-)ReplyDelete
Deb - I learned something new today about growing pumpkins! I'm seeing fields of what looks like yellow flowers just starting to come out and I never knew what they were growing - now I know - so even a 62 year old can learn something new once in a while.
What a wonderful premise. I love it. Thanks so much for bringing this book to our attention on the Kid Lit Blog hop.ReplyDelete
I must admit that I learned a few things about growing pumpkins, as well. Thank you for your interest and good luck everyone!ReplyDelete
I love books that go to the season, and these sound great. Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
I love the fall and I'm so glad we get to turn our attention to some of those fall traditions, like pumpkin carving. Thanks so much for joining us in the Kid Lit Blog Hop. Happy to tweet about your giveaway. :)ReplyDelete
Since completing the books pictured above, I've added more pumpkin-themed books to the library. Autumn-themed books--you can't stop at one, or two, or three. Well, you get the idea. ;-)
Thanks for the comments.
Such great books! One is brand new to me - I will be checking it out --- thank you for the recommendation.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Sarah. There are so many great book suggestions out there. I'm glad I discovered the blogging world.ReplyDelete

Excerpts from Elder Turnbulls Email dated Thurs Jan 22. " ¡hola!
This week has been the week of the walking dead. Friday-saturday half my district got sick with strep throat. They were down and out for a good 2-3 days. It was horrible. Then after they started to get better…The other half got a flu virus (me included) It was nasty cause our casa smelt like DEATH. 4 sick people with one bathroom.
Not only that, as we recovered , we found out half of our zone also had the flu.
<District would be a class and Zone would be everyone in your grade>
I feel fine now but ya it was horrible cause i wasn´t able to go to class. One of the healthy Elders in my district gave me a blessing and it really helped and I got over it after a day. I feel bad for my companions though cause they got hit hard with sickness. But at least when you are sick you have alot more time to study the scriptures!
Classes are really nice here. I´m learning alot and my spanish and teaching skills are getting better. I really hope i can be well versed in spanish to be able to communicate a little bit with the people in my mission. We are learning alot about grammar and also how to teach from Preach my Gospel. I find it so helpful! Really glad we don´t have to memorize all the lessons like they did before.
I still can´t believe I only have 12 more days here and then I´m off to my mission! Holy cow! It feels like time is going really fast and then really slow at the same time. But i can´t wait to go out and help people on my mission. oh which reminds me I met 2 Latin-missionaries going to my mission! Elder Perez and Elder Florez. They´re really nice. I haven´t been able to talk to much with them but they say the food outside is way better then it is in the CCM. I can´t wait to try it! Now that I feel better.
I´m finding praying here is honestly really helping. I´ve been able to do things I didn´t think i could do and it just feels great. I love being on my mission and even though i know it´s going to be hard ; I will charge straight at it will zeal and courage! Obviously there are things I still need to work on but I know that the Lord will strengthen me!
This morning Elder Ybañez and Elder Gibson and I went out to Mexico city for our residency cards so we can stay in Mexico.
Mexico city is so nice. They have a Scotiabank here in Mexico! I found that so cool.
but wow Mexico city is so great. We went through the richer areas and the central park and it´s really beautiful. I can´t remember what it´s called but we went to this official government building where I'm assuming where they take care of immigration and such. There were people from all over there. I saw someone holding a Japanese passport which i thought was cool. (really wish i could speak it but that´ll have to wait until after my mission.)
The ride to and from was a long time because traffic is sooo crazy here! but it was obvious when we started getting into the nicer neighbourhoods. Which is sad.
Just wow so many people here! I feel really grateful for the greenery and space we have back home in Canada. So many people that deserve better but they still manage to be happy, it just makes me feel really grateful for what i have back home.
Our MTC/CCM President was released on tuesday and went back home. I loved President and Hermana Pratt. Apparently he gave a talk during general conference and in a descendant of Parley P. Pratt. They´re farewell talks were really nice and apparently they have been serving as mission presidents, MTC presidents, Area of 70 and other such me callings almost all their lives. I think it would be cool to be an MTC president.
and ya it´s been nice being the zone leader, we got some new missionaries last night but I haven´t met them yet. I love our zone though it´s the best. We get along really well. My district played volleyball against the other district in our zone and it was alot of fun. We totally beat them -just wanted to say.
I only get 1 hour of computer time here at the CCM so ya it´s hard to give more detail & write everyone sometimes. Tell everyone I am sorry about that. Ahhh exams…I do not miss those! but tell Laura good luck and oh sounds like fun!
I totally forgot it´s actually winter! the weather is so nice here!
Hopefully soon I will be able to help those here in my mission. I miss you and everyone else! Hope you are all doing great and will have a great week!
Love: Elder Turnbull!"

|Cute pic right at the Toyosato Station
Nearly two months ago I was backpacking through Japan alone, and being an anime fan I feel the need to make an anime pilgrimage, as promised in the final post in my previous blog. So... not much to talk about, enjoy the photos.
Toyosato Station. Took the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Maibara (1 stop, covered by JR rail pass) and transferred to the Ohmi Main line that took me to Toyosato. Ticket cost me 700+ yen I think.
Left: A helpful map to help fellow otakus get to Toyosato Elementary School.
Right: Outside the station. The rabbit and tortoise seems to be a trademark of this town, as it's also seen inside the school
K-ON placards that leads you to the school. The design is based on similar placards depicting children, also common around the town.
It's a small and quiet town, and many shops leading to the school made use of K-ON advertising, or some sort of other moé posters.
ARG, I failed as a K-ON fan because the shirt is so familiar yet I can't remember when I've seen it. Yes, this is one of the shops along the way to the school from the station.
I haz arrive! The school plaque.
The front of the school. I guess from an fan's point of view, this is an really amazing moment.
FYI: The school doesn't actually function as a school anymore. The school is really old if you take a close look from the inside, but the people here does kept the exterior well maintained. One of the rooms on the first floor functions as gallery for the school's or town's history, and a couple of rooms on the second floor is used as a nursery. Only the top floor and canteen contains anything K-ON.
Is this shown in the anime before? Can't remember.
Furukawa Tetsujiro da man. Often got dressed up in the anime, and the girls "prayed" to it in OP Utauyo! Miracle, lol.
Each level actually has only one corridor. Here you see two shots taken from the same spot right after the entrance... that's how small the school is.
And... there's nothing behind the classroom, so it's actually way too small to be a high school, realistically. The building on the left is the canteen, and the one on right is the hall where the gang plays the concert. Or is it the other way around?
The famous set of stairs where many scenes took place.
The trademark hare and tortoise, as seen in the anime and around Toyosato.
I figured you'd realize the relation to the hare and tortoise storyline, so the sleeping hare here should have an obvious meaning. Pretty interesting way to teach something, though kind of out of place in a high school...
At the top of the stairs... welcomed by Yui's frog doll.
I don't understand... please be quiet for?
Some sort of K-ON related activity going on the Saturdays...
There's only two rooms on the top floor, and both a related to K-ON... the "preparation room" to the left is the actual K-ON clubroom, while the "music room" to the right is empty except for a stage...
Cleaning in progress. Or something.
Remember the guitars were stolen not too long ago? Well they recovered it, but it seems like they don't really bother to keep it in a safer place... This tiny space joins the K-ON clubroom to the back of the stage.
You can't see it, but the strings are rusting...
This one is in really poor shape.
The part that joins the clubroom to the back of the stage.
Some of "Mugi's" tableware, and signatures of the girls.
Someone somehow left a recent copy of the megami here.
The K-ON Clubroom
The spoilt fan that appeared in a summer episode.
Azusa's personal cup! So cute~
Plastic desserts.
Sawa-chan forgot her wig.
Unfortunately, Ton-chan in reality is born from nuclear waste.
I dunno how one of Mitsudomoe's characters got here. OH wait, is that a Mitusdomoe version of Yui?
Mugi's, Nodoka's, Ritsu's and Yui's slippers. The red ones in the previous pic belong to Azusa's year.
Cute! This shirt was hung amongst the cosplay costumes on the rack.
Some guy left these DVDs here for fellow otakus... despite the Azusa's pic, it's actually not related to K-ON. It contains only a video taken on a handheld about a trip to the Washinomiya Shrine... the Lucky Star shrine.
Pretty pointless.
Artwork, notes, drawings, sketches, screenshots, etc... about K-ON.
The lobby at the top of the stairs infront of the clubroom and music room creaks very badly... probably already rotten beneath.
A room on the second floor that's converted into a nursery or kindergarden... there are actually kids in there, so I gotta take this shot from this angle... lest I get arrested.
One of the classrooms on the second floor.
Alright, since the school is preserved for the exhibit on the first floor in the first place... There's something from that gallery.
A library on the second floor... locked, though.
The canteen. The K-ON cafe is open several days a month, and unfortunately it was not one of those days...
Half the canteen also functions as a K-ON merchandise shop. Bought a 3000 yen shirt here... ouch.
Towards the back of the canteen is some sort of fan-made gallery I guess. It's full of figures and books and stuff, and most of it are not for sale.
Oh my... is that a K-ON rubix cube?
No fear, I am here.

Lemon Curd
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks (keep the egg whites if you want to make lemon meringue. This lemon curd is perfect for it)
2/3 cup of lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 min. Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 min. Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will look curdled, but it will smooth out as it cooks.
In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, cook the mixture over low heat until it looks smooth. (The curdled appearance disappears as the butter in the mixture melts.) Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 15 min. It should leave a path on the back of a spoon. Don't let the mixture boil. Remove the curd from the heat; stir in the lemon zest. Transfer the curd to a bowl. Press plastic wrap on the surface of the lemon curd to keep a skin from forming and chill the curd in the refrigerator. The curd will thicken further as it cools. Covered tightly, it will keep in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for 2 months.

I think that what you posted made a ton of sense.ReplyDelete
But, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier post title?
I am not saying your content is not solid., but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more?
I mean "Lemon Curd" is kinda vanilla. You should look at
Yahoo's home page and note how they create post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get people interested about what you've written.
In my opinion, it would make your posts a little
bit more interesting.

Here's a name you could hear a bit more of in 2013 – Darling BOY.
(I believe the lower / upper case in the name is intentional.)
London-based Darling BOY has played just two short tours of Germany and a few 'home' shows, including the iconic 100 Club venue in home city. Even so, he already has the likes of Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Mark Ellen (TV / Radio Presenter), Andy Partridge (XTC) TV Smith (The Adverts) and Alan McGhee (yup, THAT Alan McGhee) all talking about him in favourable and encouraging tones.
The four-track 'Air Conditioned Gypsy' EP is from what I can make out, his first formal first release, and with the current fad for singer-songwriter types showing no immediate sign of abating, there is definitely room at the top table for another – this time one with a bit of 'attitude' to their performance.
The time could be right for Darling BOY
('Air Conditioned Gypsy' is released through Very Decent Music on 4th March 2013)
(I'll have a stream of the EP posted here shortly.)

Welcome to Roger's Economic Rant
March 2013 Economic Rant -Roger Mason
"There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means a new form of servitude." — Friedrich von Hayek
Well forks, nothing good is happening certainly. 2013 should be the year of the Big Staged Event that ushers in martial law. This will make the 9/11 hoax look mild in comparison. It has been 12 years now and this is very, very overdue. Be prepared!
For example, this could be the next fake 9/11 to usher in martial law. here all the top five U.S. nuclear carriers docked together for no good reason at all in Virginia. Military policy DEMANDS this never happens, that they never be grouped together like this. This makes them very vulnerable. It is an ideal setup for the CIA and Mossad to blow them up, blame the Iranians, attack Iran, declare martial law, and start World War III.
The federal Internet tax is coming. It is called the "Marketplace Fairness Act". George Orwell would be proud of them. Imagine the billions of dollars in tax money the feds will get. The tax itself is not the only problem though. Collecting taxes for 50 states, plus Washington, DC and territories like Puerto Rico and sending them check every 90 days will ruin businesses! And put many into bankruptcy. The logistics of this are terrible. Imagine what kind of shopping cart you would have to design to even handle this. And the extra employee(s) just for the taxes. It's coming. The government is broke and will steal every penny they can. Be clear about the fake "Fiscal Cliff" drama... the Republicans are asking for a mere 2.5% cut in FUTURE spending and the Democrats are asking for no cuts. We need to cut the federal budget a full 50% to accomplish anything. All this drama is completely and totally meaningless. We went off the Fiscal Cliff decades ago.
There are no budget cuts at all- it's just a big lie.
States like Minnesota and Missouri and trying to pass anti-gun bills like California and New York have. For years we have been begging you to get a semi-automatic rifle (AK-47 or AR-15) and all the bullets you can afford. It's too late now. It will cost you $2,500 for a good rifle. Ammo has gone up 500%, and that includes .22 caliber bullets. You can still get high capacity clips if you look. It's better to have one gun and 1,000 bullets, than 1,000 guns and one bullet. More and more, ammunition will be restricted and banned. You should also have a 12 gauge police-style pump shotgun, a .38 revolver, and a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol with large capacity clips. Yes, Glock is still the leader. A Ruger 10/22 rotary magazine .22 rifle is still well worth buying. Yes, large cap magazines for it, too. You can even buy a drum magazine.
Nobama bragged that the totally restrictive gun laws in Chicago were the "blueprint" for federal gun bans. Well, Chicagoleads the nation in gun crimes, as does Washington, DC, and New York City where they also ban guns, bullets and empty magazines! Law abiding citizens in such cities are not able to defend themselves against criminals. Criminals love these laws, as it protects them and punishes the average person.
This is a 50 year chart from 1963-2013 showing the hopeless collapse in home prices:
Here's your media touted housing recovery! What a crock. You can't give houses away now. Below is a 37 year chart proving housing peaked in 2005. Here are the collapsing housing prices to match the collapsing sales:
You want to know how bad things really are? Rand Paul is the least worst of all 100 U.S. Senators. He just confirmed Zionist John Kerry as Secretary of State, saying that Kerry is, "an honest man". He also said, "An attack on Israel is an attack on the U.S." And he is the least worst folks. Americans get the government they damned well deserve. The problem with America is Americans!
The liberals are going to institute universal preschool for 4 year olds. It isn't enough to brainwash them from the age of 5 anymore in the government indoctrination centers. This includes the state universities our taxes pay for. If you can't afford to send your children to private, Christian, Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim schools, then don't have children. Don't ask other people to pay for your kids to go to school. Don't send them to government brainwashing centers to be turned into mindless, unthinking sheeple.
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA is back. Internet freedom cannot be tolerated as this is the last bastion of truth in the world.)
On Feburary 19 on a Facebook Town Hall meeting Joe Biden actually compared semiautomatic rifles to "flame throwers and fighter jets". Yes, he actually said that.
We know that Sandy Hoax, NJ was a staged event. There is OVERWHELMING evidence of that. Well, this cop Chris Dorner was another fraud. At first it seemed like a cop-gone-overboard story. We may never know the truth, but we do know the whole story stinks, and they burned down the cabin he was in to destroy any kind of evidence. Why do you need to burn down a cabin after you kill someone? Look for more staged events like this every month. It is probable that the Big Event will happen this year to usher in marshal law.
A CNN poll showed 48% of Americans expect an outright depression in 2013
Warrren, Senile in Omaha, Buffett is still cheerleading for the stock market, telling the sheeple to, "invest in America", and "don't bet against America". Well, Buffett is quietly selling the stocks in his worthless Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) stock. Other billionaires like Paulson and Soros are also quietly dumping their stocks. They know what's coming.
This is a fascinating and very valuable chart. The same applies to silver. This proves gold and silver will soon take off. The red line shows gold (and silver) rose dramatically in Japanese yen over the past six months. The blue line shows they fell in U.S. dollars. Gold and silver are going up in the real world. Silver and gold have been in a 19 month slump now. That makes they a better buy than ever. The entire world is falling apart, nothing is getting better, and gold and silver have been the only real money for 6,000 years now. Yes, it has been disappointing, but the fundamentals are better than ever. Just remember that and go buy all the silver bullion you can get your hands on.
Look at this ten year chart of gold. The same applies to silver. Ten years of price history proves that when the standard deviation percent falls to a -2 level, it is a BUY. This should be the basic bottom in metals after 19 months of manipulation. The HUI must
recover and go back over 400. The commercials dramatically cut their net short COMEX gold and silver positions on February 22. We need to see a net short silver position get down to 30,000 and then 20,000. The manipulation will be over when that happens. On February 22 the Big Banks lowered the net gold shorts a stunning 28,571 or 18% and their silver shorts a stunning 8.841 or 19%. They still have 37,956 net silver shorts. To make a point, if they did this for merely three more weeks silver and gold would take off for the moon. This is huge folks. After more than three decades of manipulation it is going to be over soon. Silver and gold will take off for their real free market prices. The commercials sold 2.5 years of silver production (376,301 contracts) or 1.9 billion ounces in one day to push the price down last week. This can't continue due to 1) physical demand worldwide, and 2) we're almost completely out of silver. No, the mines cannot even think of supplying the current demand. No, there is no substitute for it. Silver is down to $28 and falling. This is a wonderful buying opportunity.
Major chains and corporations are closing their doors every day.
Best Buy will close 200 to 250 stores.
Sears will close 175 to 225 Kmarts and 100 to 125 Sears stores.
J.C. Penney (JCP) will close 300 to 350 stores.
Office Depot will closes 125 to 150 stores and merge with Office Max.
Barnes & Noble will close 190 to 240 stores.
Gamestop will close 500 to 600 stores!
Office Max will close 150 to 175 stores and mere with Office Depot.
Radio Shack will close 450 to 550 stores and may go out of business.
Would you like to take a nice cruise? The cruise lines are literally going broke. They can't give away cabins. You can go to websites like cruises.com or vacationstogo.com and get five star cruises for 50 to 75% off every day. Don't choose anything less than a five star ship, and don't waste your money on six star ships. The cruise lines will soon go bankrupt, and the huge luxury liners mothballed. Choose the best lines like Azamara, Oceania, Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity, and nothing less than a five star rated ship.
More and more you will see vitamins and nutritional supplements restricted and banned so the pharmaceutical corporations will have no competition. Did you know that America is the only civilized country in the world you can even buy nutritional supplements? They are basically banned in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, all of Europe, and Asia. Mexico and South America have some freedom, but little interest in them.
In 1942- 71 years ago- Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order that incarcerated 150,000 people without a trial, hearing, appeal, or anything else. He was the father of American socialism. This time you can expect maybe 15 million people to be incarcerated in FEMA camps when Obama (or his successor) signs an executive order.
Here is the man who says toxic genetically aberrational GMO foods are the same as regular foods. He refuses to even require them to be labeled. You cannot avoid GMO foods because of this. Vitamins supplements are dangerous, but pharmaceutical drugs are safe. Monsanto wants to own patented rights to all the food we grow and eat. They have a very good start so far. They have their own man in office now.
Yes, Adolf did say this, but he was warning the German people about gun control. He never "took the guns" or "registered the guns". Quite the contrary, the 1938 National Socialist Gun Act GAVE GERMANS FREEDOM TO OWN FIREARMS, after the Weimar Republic took those rights. Obviously, Adolf wanted a fully armed citizenry. He was overwhelmingly elected twice by popular vote, and had the full support of the great majority of the people. Common sense tells you he wanted a fully armed Germany. He was warning the German people about gun control, and gave them gun freedom in 1935. Did you know 165,000 Jewish soldier voluntarily served in Hitler's army including the famous elite SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Adolf Eichmann and SS General Reinhard Heydrich were both Jewish. Disinformation agents like Alex Jones push these kinds of lies. This is an example of how you tell a real patriot from a pseudo-patriot.
Josef Stalin, on the other hand, certainly did ban guns. Then he killed 30 million people. Don't give up your guns. Gun and ammo prices may fall back down this year, but don't bet on it. People are buying all the guns and ammo they can get their hands on. Gun manufacturers are working overtime and are backlogged. The real reason for the Second Amendment is protection from a tyrannical government, not self defense, hunting, or anything else.
Above is a list of the most successful government programs over the last 237 years. That's right, in over two centuries not one government program has ever worked. Everything the government has done failed miserably.
This is what happened in Australia when the government took all the guns from the sheeple. Crime went ballistic. Criminals loved it since the citizens had no guns to defend themselves. Crime goes up when you ban guns. Criminals will always have guns. They don't buy them at gun stores or gun shows. This is true all over the world and we did a nice color chart of this in the last rant.
Civil war is your future folks. Your tax money just bought 2,500 DOMESTIC armored tanks to kill American citizens. Your tax money also bought over 2 billion rounds of military ammunition to kill American citizens. This is enough to kill every man, woman, child and baby over six times. Obama has promised a domestic police force of 2 million soldiers to match the 2 million soldiers (including the National Guard) who are busy killing innocent people in the Mideast.
A Gallup poll last week showed 99% of the American sheeple believe Iran's nuclear weapons program is a bigger threat to us than North Korea. Is that proof that 99% of Americans are brain dead? 99% of them voted for a Republicrat in every election over the past 30 years, instead of the Libertarian candidate. Iran has no nuclear weapons program. None, zero, nada, doesn't exist. Israel has a massive nuclear armory your tax money paid for, won't join the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and has never had an inspection once ever. Iran has no nuclear weapons, joined the treaty years ago, and gets regular inspeciation. Israel is the greatest threat to world peace by far. World War III will start in the Mideast and Israel will be the spark that sets it off. Everyone knows that.
Join the Gun Owners of America (GOA) at www.gunowners.com. If you are a member of the NRA rip up your membership card and send it back. They are not what they seem. They sold out decades ago.
Be prepared. Be prepared for anything and everything as much as possible. Not paranoid, not worried, just prepared. See you in two weeks. Buy silver.

Akon ate it hard over the weekend, when he fell to the floor while trying to crowd surf.
The singer was performing at The Ranch Roadhouse in Edmonton, Canada on Sunday night (June 18), when for some reason, he felt the need to crowd surf.
Akon hopped into the crowd and eventually got to a standing position, as he stood on the shoulders of a few fans. As performed, the fans' shoulders gave out and Akon lost his balance and fell face first onto the floor.
Fortunately, Akon resurfaces from the crowd unscathed.
Hey Akon, your 44 years old. Leave the crowdsurfing to the young kids. Glad you're okay though.

I was just checking out the Running Blogger schedule of posts and I realized that I had not post anything here, on my blog, for a while. It's all been a mental exercise for me, as I try to keep and schedule and do Christmas. The holidays have really hit me hard this year and I am vowing to keep my mind, body, and spirit training method in tact. I know I mostly obsess about food (face it, I love food), but I do have a great theory about weight loss and food management that involve a deeper spiritual aspect.
The house decorating and lighting wars have started in full force as we put out lights in front of our house and many people followed. This happens every year, but now it's getting out of hand. It's beginning to look like the Osborne display of lights in Walt Disney World. When someone starts using an FM station to broadcast music with their lights, I'm moving!
Most people use yoga as their spiritual link to exercise. I use running. I can think when I run. And I tend to exercise and trance out while I do my running workout.Some times you need to clear your head and a long run or walk is just the thing to do it. Even on a cold day you can get in a few miles and work out a few issues. Snow shoveling is mostly what I use an an exercise these days. It has snowed so much lately, that I am wondering if someone shipped it in from Alaska. We have not had this much snow in years (like 5 – 10 years).
My mind training will utilize my running as well. I can usually solve my pressing issues (what color socks to wear, just kidding) during a run if I just let my body do its thing and keep running. Also, this trains me for my half marathons. There are many long and lonely days outside. I do get my best solution to my problems during the alone time of my workouts. But, I love doing it outside more inside. It has been difficult to go to the treadmill and run. I'm not as enamored as I was when I was fat, and I had to lose it NOW! It think this is when a treadmill can come in handy.
The current snowfall outside is annoying me, so the treadmill will have to do for today. I am very leery of the treadmill because my i-Fit program no longer supports my custom trails that I used to run. I used to run Central Park and Prospect Park. I may have these trails listed on the site still, but i-Fit likes to sponsor a new trail or City daily. This is not my cup of tea, but it can be great for people who love to train and not get bored.
I-Fit Fitness, if you can hear me, please support your legacy devices and stop changing your fitness program, so I can use my treadmill with it. Currently your program just to takes in cash, and gives out nothing. It's unusable. People just want to work out.
Tomorrow will be another day for me to run in the Park. I cannot wait until the snow removal process is complete, so I can run through the Park again. Happy Holiday Running.

|2011 Flood Woogaroo St Goodna looking across from Gailes.
Characteristically, restrictions on policy cover are listed as exclusions which detail the circumstances under which cover is not applicable. Flood insurance is now available in Australia for many locations (where flood mapping has been made available to the insurance industry).
The cost of cover is typically proportional to the risk of flooding in your location and the value of the assets you seek to protect. If in doubt make contact with your insurer to clarify the extent of cover currently held and your insurance needs.
Don't assume you are covered - Read your policy and if unsure discuss the extent of your cover with your insurer.
Determining the Risk to Your Home - Flood maps are available for most Australian communities that primarily focus on rivers and creeks. In some cases these maps also cover historical localised flooding due to overtaxed drains, etc (flash flooding). In many regional areas Australian governments and other agencies have studied, analysed and modelled the risks by producing flood maps showing areas of inundation for 1:100 year flood events. Whilst the style and content of these maps may differ they will all classically focus on highlighting geographic areas generally referred to as "flood zones or flood overlays", simply meaning those places at greatest risk of flood. The zones and overlays identify areas that have been flooded in the past, or are predicted to flood in the future. History shows approximately 80 percent of all flood loss occurs within these areas.
Protecting Your Home if Subject to Flood Risk - Apart from choosing to not establish a home in an area of known flood risk - the most prudent prevention method – there are personal flood mitigation actions that can be taken that may reduce the level of impact experienced during a flood.
Consumers in a known flood zone or overlay should familiarise themselves with their Local Councils emergency management plan or any flood awareness material provided by your local council, floodplain management authority or state emergency service agency for information that will help protect both yourself and to some extent your property.
Consumers can also familiarise themselves with flood preparation guidance offered by Emergency Management Australia www.ema.gov.au
If your assets are at risk of flooding you should consider a policy that covers flood damage.
To determine if there is a flood risk to your property consumers should approach your Local Council or floodplain management authority and ask if your property is known to be affected by flooding. Many States require Local Councils to develop and implement natural hazard and environmental information as part of development controls. Some States also require this information to be provided as part of various property purchasing processes in an effort to ensure that consumers are made aware of any latent risks with the property in question.
If, as a consumer, you have not been given flood risk information as part of your State's property purchasing process you should seek out the Local Council and/or floodplain management authority and request whatever information is available. Consumers should be aware that many factors can influence the accuracy of flood mapping including building development, road works, new agricultural growth, changes to river & creek catchments as well as changes to drainage and sewer arrangements for your area.
Frequent re-familiarisation of the risks through engagement with your local council and/or floodplain management authority is essential.
How do Insurers Determine the Flood Risk to My Property? - Development and maintenance of flood maps and how they impact upon the built environment is a responsibility of local government and/or floodplain management authorities in each of the states. In some instances there are highly accurate flood maps made available to the community and industry, upon which reasonable risk decisions about the risk can be made. In other instances no flood mapping is or can be made available, leaving a situation where local communities and insurers are unsure of the extent of the risk.
In partnership with each of the State Governments, the general insurance industry has developed and licensed the National Flood Information Database (NFID). NFID is an address database containing 11.3 million property addresses, overlayed with the known flood risk according to government flood mapping.
The vast majority of properties in Australia have little or no flood risk. Approximately 2.8% of
properties have some risk of flooding.
NFID is used by insurers to determine the flood risk to individual properties. Presently, not every flood prone area in Australia is covered by the NFID. Some local governments and agencies have yet to release flood mapping for their jurisdictions. Where flood information has not been released by government constituents will have very limited choices regarding flood insurance.

'Repaired' Basant Nagar road in Ludhiana has manholes wide open
Due to lack of coordination between MC's operations and maintenance (O&M) cell and buildings and road (B&R) wing, the road in Basant Nagar has been constructed without repairing the damaged manholes.punjab Updated: Nov 29, 2016 17:11 IST
Due to lack of coordination between MC's operations and maintenance (O&M) cell and buildings and road (B&R) wing, the road in Basant Nagar has been constructed without repairing the damaged manholes.
According to area residents, the road has been reconstructed after a period of around 10 years and now it has become accident prone due to uneven manholes which have gone below the road surface.
Though the B&R department has claimed to get the level of manhole raised but, the residents counterclaimed that there is a risk of a cave-in, as the walls of these manholes were not repaired before construction of the road.
Vishal Gour, a resident, asserted that they had informed the MC officials regarding the damaged walls of manholes but no action was taken before construction of the road. "Now the level of manholes is also getting down in the street number 6 of Basant Nagar in ward 33 and there is a risk of road cave-in. If MC had taken any concrete measures to get the manholes repaired, there would have been no problem,"he claimed.
An official of MC's O&M wing said it was the responsibility of the B&R branch to inform them about the damaged portion of manholes so that the required action could be initiated before the construction of the road. If required, they will dig up the road now for the repair of a damaged structure of manholes, he said.
When the construction of the road was being done, the B&R officials had said that they could not repair the manholes as this work comes under O&M wing.
Now, executive engineer of O&M wing, Pardeep Saluja, claimed that he was not given any information about the damaged portion of manholes. If the B&R wing official concerned had alerted them in time, they could have taken required steps in this regard, he added.
B&R wing executive engineer Rahul Gagneja said that it is the responsibility of the O&M branch if there was a need to repair the structure of manholes. "The level of manholes will be corrected by the contractor who constructed this road. If the contractor fails to do it, his payment will not be released,"he added.
Earlier, the MC has failed to ensure proper levelling of manholes on Hambran Road and Ishar Nagar.
