Earthquake overview : The very strong Singkil, Aceh earthquake at intermediate depth happened below land on Sumatra, Indonesia. 3 people have been killed (1 direct and 2 indirect impact), numerous houses collapsed, much more were damaged and widespread panic in very big cities like Medan.
We need urgently somebody to translate this article into Indonesian, as we want to serve also the Indonesian people. Send us a message if you want to inform other Indonesians the best possible way.
"I have Felt it" Reports --> see below + Let us know how you have felt this earthquake
"Saya telah Felt itu" Laporan -> lihat di bawah + Marilah kita tahu bagaimana Anda merasa gempa ini
To read the full story as it happened, we advise our readers to start at the lower part of the page (earthquake data).
Keep this page open or return regularly as we will be back with more details when they become available
Update 07/09 - 12:47 UTC : The BPBD (Sinkhil Disaster Management Agency) is quite upset about the media horror caused by this earthquake. They refer to only 1 person killed by direct impact.
Tribunnews maintains his story (with details) that at least 2 other people have been victim of the earthquake by Indirect impact.
Earthquake-report : @ ER we are focusing on trusted sources who are reporting detailed storries about what happened, often citing the names of the affected people, which village what happened, etc. Most of our sources are or official or local press (many reporters) who can be trusted. Also important for ER are the indirect deaths of an earthquake. People killed by an heart attack during the shaking are indirect victims of the earthquake.
IMPORTANT Update 07/09 - 07:08 UTC : Indonesian authorities have reported that a 4th person has been killed (1 boy was killed by direct impact, the other 3 by indirect causes like explained in the initial article (link above). The damage was (as usual) far underestimated the first day after the earthquake. Since yesterday authorities have continued to make further assessments of the situation. Their reports have revealed much more impact than originally thought. 1,417 houses were destroyed in Subulussalam, 417 houses were severely damaged and many more slightly damaged. 3 counties alongside Subulussalam (Pakpak Bharat, Humbanghasundutan (Humbahas), and Dairi) also suffered severe damages. Besides houses, also office buildings, mosques, schools, hospitals, irrigation infrastructure, etc etc was damaged.
Besides the 4 killed people, 3 people in Dairi were reported severely injured.
The Aceh Disaster Management Agency (BPBA) and the Social Service of Aceh have provided quick relief aid to the affected people in the earthquake zone.
The damage estimate, in Subulussalam alone would exceed 50 billion Rupiah.
Residents of Subulussalam and Singkil have said that the shaking went on for about 2 minutes what explains the damage and victims (the longer the quake is lasting, the more vulnerable buildings become).
Update : Landslides and debris have closed the main road between Kabanjahe and Kutacane, Southeast Aceh Regency. The closure has led tp a queue of hundreds of buses from Kabanjahe toward Kutacane, or vice versa. Heavy equipment from the Public Works Department was deployed to clear landslides and debris.
Additionally numerous other roads in the Aceh province have been blocked by landslides, cracks, holes etc.
Update 17:18 UTC : A third and probably last person has been reported killed. 2 people are from the Subussalam District. The third person lived in the Dairi district. Additionally 3 people have been slightly injured. This information has been released by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). On top of the earlier announced damage (see below) also 15 irrigation systems were seriously damaged.
BNPB personnel are currently making further assessments and are also working on relief and aid to the region.
Update 15:34 UTC : The governor of the Aceh province has estimated that the damage caused by the earthquake will reach more than 40 billion Rupiah (4.7 million US$) (early estimate for the Singkil district). People are returning more and more to their houses and the living conditions are gradually normalizing. Very strange for this earthquake is the almost complete lack of aftershocks! This is very unusual.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 12:44 UTC : Hundreds of homes in the villages of Desa Tangga Besi, Kecamatan Simpang Kiri and Subulussalam are uninhabitable.
Damage also occurred to a number of mosques in District of Kecamatan Simpang Kiri.
Nearly all the pillars of the mosque are cracked. Damage was also inflicted to the ceiling stucco of the mosques. Residents are afraid to enter the damaged mosks.
The districts of Sultan Daulat, Simpang Kiri and Longkib have also reported severe damages.
People will need help from the local governments to repair and rebuild their destroyed houses.
BPBD Kota Subulussalam has reported that 5 mosques, 11 schools, 3 health centers and 21 houses and shops were seriously damaged in the city of Subulu. Losses estimated at tens of billions of rupiak.
Update 07:24 UTC : The toll of this earthquake is becoming heavier since daylight has given a better view on what happened and since remote villages could be inspected by rescue teams.
John Linn (50) has been killed after he was traumatized by the shaking of the quake. He allegedly suffered on asthma.
Hundreds of houses have been damaged and even more walls have been cracked.
Update 04:57 UTC : The building of the Midwifery Academy of Subulussalam also suffered heavy damage, and dozens of units of houses were also damaged. Public facilities were damaged in Subulussalam and the District Simpang Kiri. Two people have been slightly injured by a collapsing house in addition to the death of Rianda Syahputra, 10, a resident of the Village of North Subulussalam, Subulussalam, Aceh Province. Local authorities are still collecting damage statistics.
Update 04:55 UTC : In addition, the secretary of Subulussalam on Aceh said that at least 12 schools have minor damage and 3 health centers also have damage.
Update 04:51 UTC : A number of houses have been destroyed in Subulussalam and the damage has been estimated in the billions of rupiah (millions of dollars). The boy (Rianda Syahputra, a resident of the Village of North Subulussalam, Subulussalam, Aceh Province) who was aged 10, died from a collapsing wall. CATDAT Red rating has been issued.
Update 23:29 UTC : The BMKG epicenter was located at 59 kilometers north-east Singkil, Aceh and 78 miles Southwest of Kabanjahe, North Sumatra
Short 2 minutes 27 seconds informative video of this earthquake
Balazs Szombath has produced a short video for those among you who do not like to read a lot.
Update 23:29 UTC : A house in Tiga Binanga (approx. 30 km from the epicenter) has also been heavily damaged.
Update 23:02 UTC : The full extend of the damage (if there is damage) will be revealed within 2 to 3 hours.
Update : The picture at right is courtesy and copyright tribunnews.com and shows some damage inflicted by the earthquake.
Update 22:24 UTC : It is now 05:22 in Indonesia and we still have no serious reports from the epicenter area. We do not expect major widespread damage, but a limited number of damaged and collapsed houses are always possible.
IMPORTANT update : METROTV Indonesia reports that a 12 year old boy has been killed by a collapsed house.
We advise people who understand Indonesian to follow the very good news updates from METROTV. Click here for the news bulletins of this station.
Update : MetroTV is talking about cracked houses (still dark in Indonesia).
Update : The quake was well felt in the following locations : Medan, Siantar, Langkat, Sibolga, Tana Karo and North Sumatra
Update : WAPMERR, the theoretical damage engine reports : USGS gives 119 km depth. A recent earthquake at similar depth generated high frequency waves that did more damage than expected in Padang. Thus, casualties are possible in this case, although not likely to be numerous. Here, we consider the worst case (map attached)
Update : It has been reported however in Singkil that people also fled from their homes thinking that a tsunami may come. However, there is no tsunami threat.
Update : Hundreds of patients were evacuated from 1 hospital in Medan. The area is said to have been also without power.
Update : It was felt for 30 seconds in the location of Dairi. Reports from Indonesian news sources say the tremor was alleged to have caused an electrical installation in the Dairi to become disrupted as residents experienced power outages. "It is pitch black". From ground level they also believe that there must be damage given the shock. It is the strongest earthquake that a lot of residents have ever felt according to them.
Update : Further reports indicate power outages in the epicentral area, but these reports still do not know of any collapsed houses or casualties.
Update : BMKG is reporting a Ml6.7 , with 78km depth at 2.81 N- 97.85 E. BMKG is the main Indonesian Geophysical center (as well as meteorology).
Update : Reports from near the epicenter through Indonesian press show that the earthquake was felt very strongly, and people have left their homes in panic, however this was a lot due to the memory of the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 in the same region.
Update : Strangely enough, very few CATDAT damaging earthquakes have occurred in this epicentral region historically. Generally they occur further offshore. The depth of the earthquake has meant that shaking is not as strong as expected. 1990 and 2005 had shocks within 150km.
Update : The 'I Have Felt It reports' we have received so far are coming from Malaysia + 1 from Medan, Indonesia
Update : The data below are weakening the earthquake to an important but probably minor dangerous quake. Let us hope it. It will take several hours before the situation in the inland hypocenter area will be clarified. We will of course update when more information becomes available.
Update : Data from other seismological agencies are confirming the deep hypocenter :
BMKG (Indonesia) : 6.7 @ 78 km
EMSC (Europe) : 6.6 @ 95 km
GFZ (Germany) : 6.6 @ 91 km
China : 6.6 @ 110 km
Australia : 6.6 @ 101 km
Update : We continuously try to reach the local Indonesian seismological website, but it hangs constantly (probably to many attempts to reach the website).
Update : The earthquake occurred at 00:55 AM and however deep, we feel that this earthquake is strong enough to create (minor) damage and injuries.
Update : It is very normal that people in Malaysia and Thailand will have felt this earthquake as the' shaking is generated by the combination of the deep hypocenter and the magnitude.
Update : Even with this deep hypocenter, USGS still predicts a MMI VI, strong shaking in a wide area around the epicenter.
IMPORTANT Update : USGS has recalculated its data and comes now with a magnitude of 6.6 (earlier 6.5) and the good news is a far deeper hypocenter at 110 km (instead of 52 km earlier on). The new epicenter location is luckily in a wilderness area at approx. 20 km from Siempat Nempu Hilir.
Update : USGS pager is giving only a very slight probability of injured and damage. All will depend on the precise depth of the earthquake.
Update : the villages closest to the epicenter are : Kluet Selatan, Bakongan and Trumon. The epicenter is approx. 15 km from the coast. A tsunami is not likely as the magnitude is limited and the epicenter is below land (if the preliminary data are correct).
Update : the earthquake is felt as far as Thailand
Update : A V moderate MMI (moderate shaking is reported from Banda Aceh
Update : The earthquake was even felt at Penang, Malaysia

Rising up from the sweeping marshlands where Denmark meets northern Germany lies the man-made hill of Seebüll.
It was here that Emil Nolde, one of the leading painters of the Expressionist movement, lived and worked from 1927 to 1956. Seebüll was his favourite place and there is nowhere better to learn about the painter and his world-famous works of art. Nolde's historical home-cum-studio with its annually changing exhibitions, the garden that the artist designed himself and the Seebüll restaurant offer ample opportunity to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Panasonic Corp is considering selling its healthcare business to raise cash as the consumer electronics maker fights to end losses with flat-panel televisions, two sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
The troubled consumer electronics company has been selling assets, including real estate, to strengthen its finances.
"As a part of our growth strategy, we are considering a number of options," a Panasonic spokeswomen said.
Panasonic was planning to sell the profitable healthcare business for about 100 billion yen ($1.05 billion), Kyodo reported, quoting industry sources.
The electronics company wanted to sell the entire business to one buyer, although it would also consider selling it off in parts, Kyodo said.
Panasonic's healthcare business involves electronic medical chart systems and blood-sugar monitoring devices.
The company this month sold a central Tokyo building for around 50 billion yen to two Japanese investors, the third such sale in recent months.

Hear What Others Have to Say
We could achieve home ownership with some hard work... the information she has given us is so valuable that we would recommend everyone to go through (this) company and program because the education you receive... My family and I had been viewing the website for approximately two years before we decided to pursue contacting Lori about a home. Primarily, that was because we were not sure about engaging in a "rent-to-own" program and we had heard that programs like that were not ideal and sometimes were dangerous to get into because they turned out to only be beneficial to the other party instead of being mutually beneficial. When we finally decided to contact Lori, we were in a situation where we had been given notice to move out of the rental house we were in, and frankly, we truly wanted to have a nice home that we could look at buying, but we were going to need help. Lori and her company made it possible for us to get a very nice home in a wonderful neighborhood, and we absolutely LOVE this home. She communicated with us, helped us and assured us that no matter our situation, we could achieve home ownership with some hard work! We are still new to the program, but the information she has given us is so valuable that we would recommend everyone to go through Lori's company and program because the education you receive, along with the caring and warm nature , you will not only be able to buy the home you deserve, but you will do it knowing that the help you needed was given so abundantly. THANK YOUM.Coleman and C. Ott
Congratulations to Fabian on purchasing his first home from us. [caption id="attachment_2610" align="alignnone" width="300"] Fabian successfully purchased his home after renting it for just over 2 years.[/caption]

Absolutely amazing!!!!! My husband and I just bought our first home yesterday after a year and a half of renting. Lori was great about taking care if maintenance issues quickly and efficiently, and made our first home experience easy and phenomenal. She even went the extra mile and got us a congratulations gift to celebrate our new home. She was also the one that sold my parents their first home!! I 100% absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to get their forever home!!!!!

"My husband and I started working with Ashley and within a week we found the home of our dreams. Ashley is amazing. We tell all of our friends about Swift and give them Ashley's number so they can find the home of their dreams. We would recommend Ashley to friends, family, and strangers, that's how AWESOME they are." -Sonya and Ron
I rented a home to own two years ago in a beautiful part of Colorado Springs. As a single person, who is also self employed, I thought that owning my own home was going to be a very difficult process to accomplish. Lori helped me with the process every step of the way. I closed on my house June 1, 2015. Follow her instructions, do the classes and go to the monthly meetings. Then you will be on your way to success. Life happens and it is nothing to be ashamed of. This is a way to put your best foot forward again and get back to where you were, or start to build that family home that you simply have not been able to save for yet or get your credit to where it needs to be. If you have dreams but need help to make them become reality, I would recommend talking to Lori, she is a true fairy godmother! Give her a call and she will set you on the right track to make those dreams come true. The rest is up to you. I would recommend this company and Lori to anyone out there, 100% . We don't know what we don't know. But Lori does…. MichelleM. Carroll

Comments on the Proposed Reissuance of the US Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits
Comments on the Proposed Reissuance of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits
Comments on the Proposed Reissuance of the US Army Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits
Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act gives the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers responsibility for protecting rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands from the effects of dredging, draining and filling. The Corps' primary procedure for regulating these activities is the issuance of permits for a range of activities that alter these water bodies and related wetlands. To lighten its workload, the Corps has issued blanket authorizations, known as nationwide permits, that allow thousands of developers, farmers and others to conduct literally thousands of supposedly routine activities in wetlands and other waters without individual scrutiny from the Corps. The Clean Water Act allows for the use of nationwide permits, recognizing that many minor activities can take place in wetlands or other waters without significant damage. However, to make sure that the nationwide permitting authority is not abused, the Clean Water Act only allows nationwide permits that both individually and cumulatively have minimal impacts on the aquatic environment.
Despite the requirement for minimal impacts, the Corps' nationwide permit program has been widely criticized for allowing unnecessary, and largely undocumented, damage to wetlands, streams, lakes and other water bodies. In particular, Nationwide Permit 26 (NW26), which authorizes activities that can destroy up to 10 acres of isolated waters or headwater streams, has been seen as a significant loophole for wetlands losses, permitting the destruction of thousands of acres of wetlands every year.
In spite of these criticisms, on June 17, 1996 the Corps proposed to reissue its existing nationwide permits, including NW26, for a term of five years. In addition, the Corps proposed to add several new permits that may authorize even greater wetlands losses under the nationwide permit program. One of the new permits would automatically approve many sand and gravel mining operations in wetlands, streams and lakes--operations that can harm water quality and damage fish and wildlife habitat.
These comments present a new analysis of data obtained from the Corps of Engineers. We found that the nationwide permit program has, indeed, led to the destruction of thousands of acres of wetlands and significant damage to other water bodies. We also found very significant gaps in existing information--gaps sufficiently large that we recommend a major improvement in information about wetlands conservation and losses before any extension or expansion of existing permit authorities.

U.S. Removes China's Taobao From Piracy List
The U.S. removed Chinese e-commerce marketplace Taobao from its list of "notorious" markets for piracy, marking a success for owner Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. after it pledged earlier this year to work harder with the U.S. to improve the site.
In a report released late Thursday, the U.S. Trade Representative said Taobao, China's No. 1 e-commerce site by transactions, had been removed from the site "because it has undertaken notable efforts over the past year to work with rightholders directly or through their industry associations to clean up its site."

Memo to The Darkness: Consider vocal downsizing
The Darkness
Permission to Land
I think I summed up my feelings on the Darkness late one night a month ago, reclining in my spacious king-size bed, at the end of a long conversation about life, love, existential crisis, and what it means to grow up. My last words before entering into the deep abyss of well-deserved sleep came in the form of this non-sequitor, timed perfectly to cap off an evening of intensity: If I can give you one last piece of advice, it's that the Darkness is not a good band.
The kids on the street, so often right about music, art, books, and which piercings are in and which ones are out, might tell you that this English band of retro late-'70s schlock rock is a hot ticket these days, right up there with The Unicorns, The Shins, and countless other "The" bands that currently inhabit the mental recesses of a large portion of America's youth.
But they would be wrong.
Even Pitchforkmedia.com, the source for learned indie-opinions of all sorts (if you want to know about rock oriented modern music, check it out), gave the group an 8.4/10. But I'm here to tell you, as someone who can actually remember at least the latter days of the hair metal revolution, that operatic falsetto, eyeliner, and leopard-cat-suits do not make an act– they make a looming cultural disaster.
The Darkness' latest, Permission to Land (2003), begins with the rocker "Black Shuck," and though the first few distorted guitar riffs don't really give you much warning as to your listening fate, once singer Justin Hawkins opens his mouth, it's game over.
"In a town in the east" he begins in a high but perfectly valid modern-day indie-rock voice. The next line begins safe too: "the parishioners were visited..." and on the next word "upon," Hawkins brings out his vocal big guns, jumping up a quivering octave, and taking us back to the age where rock dinosaurs like Ratt ruled the earth.
"I believe in a thing called love" has the pop hooks that should easily reel me in, but it's just utterly impossible to get past Hawkins' continual jumping from normal to über-falsetto mode at a part of every line. Lyrics wise, The Darkness is all about women, booze, drugs, and an amusing tangent on un-cool extracurricular activities ("Bridge Club," "Archery," etc.)– the former three being the timeless triumvirate of rock song topics.
But pop music vocalists (indie for the most part) have, in the last few years, graduated to bigger and better topics for their sonic poetry. The Darkness look, sound, and read like the surviving member of a useless species thought to be extinct, and no matter how much I skew my perception of the group, they still make me want to evacuate my stomach cavity.
Consider this review a warning about what not to buy– save that hard earned $15 and buy some Motown.
Permission to Land

tender for plot N, Sloterdijk-Centrum
|VORM Ontwikkeling BV
|in collaboration with:
|Civic – The Cloud Collective; LOLA Landscape Architects
|Benjamin Robichon
|project team:
|Eraldo Brandimarte, Xihe Tian
|Radarweg, Amsterdam
|plot size:
|2.474 m²
|floor area:
|ca. 20.100 m²
|start design:
|October 2016
Sustainable principle 1: nature-inclusive building
Living in an urban apartment in a private oasis: an ecological biotope façade. In addition, greenery shall be incorporated in the façade zones of the high-rise building around the apartments. These will become meeting places for residents. Diversity is vital for a healthy society. For that reason, plot N will be for young and old, with opportunities for growth to suit different stages of life and needs. Hyperlofts, warehouse apartments and loft apartments. In addition to 200 homes for people, 200 homes for animals too. Every animal – whether a bird, insect or mammal – has different requirements in terms of habitat. All the habitats at Huis te Bretten have been optimally oriented in terms of height and wind direction.
Sustainable principle 2: energy roof system
The high roof will be crowned with an energy roof system. The roof will be fitted with high-efficiency PV panels, wind power will be captured by a large wind collector (PowerNest) and water will be collected via a roof rain collector. Everything on the outside which is clearly EPC-related is incorporated in these top two layers. There is a sports facility on the lower roof. Should more solar cells be required, then these will be incorporated in transparent form in the glass surfaces.
Sustainable principle 3: flexible solid
Carrying out projects that will create great places to live not only now but also in 100 years' time represents a huge step towards achieving sustainability. The shell has been designed in such a way that it will be able to accommodate various functions in the long term. This will prevent the possibility of the building being demolished or standing empty prematurely. In concrete terms, that means:
• floors with an adjustable load-bearing capacity,
• reinforcement-free zones in the walls,
• flexibility in terms of layout,
• application of the loft principle: a floor-to-ceiling height of 3.2 metres and an arcade arrangement on the ground floor.
Huis te Bretten
What if we create a completely nature-inclusive living environment? What if we expand the green Bretten zone? What if we let more animals live in Sloterdijk than before? Who wouldn't then want to live, work or spend time there? Huis te Bretten: a new nature-inclusive spot in Amsterdam!
'Nature-inclusive construction' is the main starting point. 20% of the roof surfaces and façades are reserved for flora and fauna to inhabit. The aim is not only to incorporate birds' nests and beehives in the architecture but to strengthen the relationship between humans and animals. A relationship between all the residents of Huis te Bretten.

Often times life is like a boxing match. You're put into the ring with a challenge and you have some rounds to hash it out. Once you're in this figurative ring you have a few options: you can get scared and jump out of the ring, you could dance around for a few rounds, or you can try to engage the challenge and see how you hold up. I know this metaphor sounds incredibly cliché, however it reminds me of a phrase our Fellows director told us way back in San Fran. To prepare us for our experiences in the "microfinance mundo," ( I borrowed this from Susan Arthur, I really like it!) he told us that we should be ready for a few "gut punches." When I heard this I wasn't really surprised, I knew that things out in the field wouldn't be easy. I knew that we all would have our fair share of adversity. I mentally prepared myself to expect the unexpected and for things to not always happen according to plan.
Soon after settling in at the head office in Hanoi, I was eager to meet more clients and visit them at their place of business. All worries and various setbacks that happened to me so far would soon wash away as I met my first clients. I didn't mind that the trip there took over 3 hours in a cramped bus with the thermometer hovering above ninety degrees. I couldn't wipe off the grin I had on my face as we pulled up to the first client's house. The client came to the gate and we explained why we had come to visit her. With a friendly smile she invited me in, introduced me to her family and offered me a delicious cup of tea. Everything was going well during the interview and then it happened, my first gut punch. POW! Right to the gut, I was down and the referee was already giving me the ten count. The question I asked her was about how the loan has changed her life and if there has been any positive change since she has expanded her business. She replied emphatically, "No!" She even told me that her loan was too small to make any real changes in her life and that she needed double the loan if she was to have any impact on her children's lives. After a couple minutes of Vietnamese back and forth my interpreter explained to me that although she was very happy with the loan and that it did help her pay for things, she still didn't have enough to see serious changes happen in her life. The client then explained to us that although she could vary her family's diet every week, she still didn't make enough to buy meat or fish, or save enough to send her children to a university. I felt confused and frustrated. I knew that as a Kiva Fellow I wouldn't be hearing dramatic stories every time I met a client, but I didn't believe that I would have a client tell me that their loan hasn't helped much.
After finishing the interview I contemplated what had gone wrong and why this woman hadn't seen much change in her life. As we rode on the motorbike to the next client I felt a bit defeated. Even some of the street dogs we passed seemed to stop and give me a look of disappointment.
Fortunately enough for me my MPM ( Kiva's partner manager in Asia and my fellows manager) was coming to the office this week and I explore the issue with some of the management in the office before I came to any conclusions. What I realized was that things weren't as black and white as I thought they were. Although SEDA was a great organization and was expanding it still faced many challenges that so many other MFI's face all over the world. They still have to manage their portfolio and develop solid lending practices for each one of their clients. There were many challenges that SEDA was still dealing with which kept them from lending larger loans like some of their competitors. Vietnam also has very different regulations from many other countries which keep a microfinance institution from lending as freely as they would like to. Essentially SEDA understood the problem of small loan sizes for their clients and is working to improve on it, however it is better for them to loan what they can and maintain their risk mitigation strategies than to create a situation which may compromise their lending ability all together. Also many of the clients that had complained about loan size had just recently started borrowing and they had to build their credit with small loans before they were considered for larger ones. When I spoke to some of my friends in other organizations I was reassured that many MFI's were dealing with this challenge and that it was a matter of time before they could grow to their full potential.
It is important to understand that progress is being made! Whether it is because clients who are borrowing are now learning about practical business principles and how to manage a loan, or that the MFI is working out bugs in its operation model, progress continues. Even though many of the clients have been working hard to pay back some of their loans they are still very new to the credit system and they are learning about good borrowing behavior. Although some clients may not have realized it, many displayed a new understanding of the credit market. One could see the difference in behavior from a client on their third cycle to a client who just received their first loan. The older clients understood the difference between rates and repayment schedules. Experienced clients could explain why they like certain methods of repayment over others and some even kept track of their cash flows on ledgers, which they were always happy to display. I was excited to see that in some communities where SEDA had built a presence, principles of sound business and finance had taken root and taught business owners how to leverage their debt to improve their lives.
After I had considered the perspectives from the clients all the way through to SEDA's management I felt more at ease with the progress of microfinance in Vietnam. I understood that although some clients didn't feel a tangible improvement in their life, there were many positive improvements to the general financial system which previously didn't even exist in these communities. I understood that there were still many clients who considered the changes in their lives to be very significant. A client I met last week told me her son might be attending a medical school if he passes the entrance exam this fall. She told me that another successful loan cycle would be enough to help pay for the tuition he needed if he gets in. At the end of the interview she gave me a wink and told me that she was confident everything would fall into place. I guess I learned to carry that confidence about the progress I'm witnessing in the poorest areas of Vietnam and engage the fight worth fighting, even if it means hitting the mat a few times on the way.
Michael Kasseris will be working with SEDA in Vietnam this summer for 12 weeks. If you would like to learn more about SEDA or lend to one of their borrowers click here./>

If you're like me, you've never caught a ball (fair or foul), but always wondered what it felt like. Well, this amazing video is probably the closest we're going to get.
YouTube user "dodgerfilms" seems to have found the sweet spot, somewhere in the first row of the bleachers in left-center at Dodger Stadium, judging from his numerous videos of snagging batting practice balls. But this one, from yesterday's game, appears to be the first one that really counts.
Again speaking on behalf of everyone who's never caught a home run, good on the cameraman for not giving in to peer pressure to throw the ball back. Who cares if a Pirate hit the home run? Those things are fucking valuable! Not in any sense that implies, you know, currency or objective worth, but still valuable.
Still though: you're over 13 and bringing a glove to a game? Maybe you shouldn't have made this video public.
I've received word from Daulerio that he's "still up," so we should have a full house tomorrow, though please hold off on the bright lights and loud noises.

John Tucci of Gordon Biersch Palo Alto to open his own breweryUploaded: Apr 7, 2014
John Tucci, veteran brewmaster of Gordon Biersch Palo Alto, is moving on after 16 years with the company to open his own brewery in South San Francisco later this year.
After searching for more than a year for a worthy space, he's settled on a 10,000 square foot South San Francisco warehouse. He's hoping to break ground on 47 Hill Brewing Company, named after the reported 47 named hills of San Francisco, in late May or early June.
"I guess I've been doing it so long it seems like the natural progression of things," he said.

He said 47 Hill's beer will draw on "innovative tradition," a.k.a modern twists on traditional recipes. There will be some German and Belgian beers, plus a few "hybrid styles," he said.
The brewery will be a production facility focusing on the draft beer market first and foremost, Tucci said.
There will also be a tasting room and kitchen. He said he doesn't have a particular chef on board or in mind right now, but he wants to specialize in gourmet sausages and quality salads.
"It's going to be a very simple menu, but very high quality," he said.
He's in the midst of various city processes right now, but hopes to be open in late summer or by the end of the year. He hasn't yet set what is sure to be a bittersweet end date for his Palo Alto post.
"It's going to be tough. I've been with them for 16 years," he said. "But new beginnings are always real good."

chronic bronchitis liver - Our guide to the Reishi mushroom

Stop persistent cough

Naturally relieve pain and fever
Relieve lung inflamation
Breathe easier

Great Product
for a spasmodic painful cough - Magnesia phos. for a loose, rattling cough with watery phlegm 'Calcarea, alternating with Ferrum phos. Aromatherapy Massage chest and back with essential oils-eucalyptus, sandalwood, frankincense, and myrrh are recommended. Add essential oils to hot water and inhale to help expel phyegm. For a dry, hard cough, try cypress, hyssop, bergamot, or cammomile oil used as steam inhalations.
Bronchitis is an infection of the intricate network of airways both within and connecting to the lungs. Usually striking when the immune system is low,
commonly develops as a progression of an upper respiratory infection and will normally clear within a couple of weeks although chronic cases may last for months. A small percentage of
cases are bacterial in nature and will respond to antibiotic treatment however in most cases the
is caused by a virus and so antibiotics will have little effect.
Coughs Coughing is the body's natural way of clearing irritation and congestion from the lungs and airways. A dry cough is reacting to an irritant, a productive cough helps to expel congested phlegm. A common cold or influenza is usually accompanied by a cough. But coughs can be a sign of other respiratory problems (a hoarse cough may indicate laryngitis in an adult and croup or whooping cough in a child), or more serious breathing disorders (see Pleurisy, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Emphysema, and Asthma).
The lists of health risks range from kidney failure, heart attacks, and heightened blood pressure and strokes are now only the beginning added on to health wise. With so many snoring complications and no sign of the health risk list stopping anytime soon, it is vital for every regular habitual snoring individual to do all that they can to stop the snoring forever. Before there is a need to consider one of the invasive anti snoring surgeries, such as Somnoplasty, or one of the several other types of surgical procedures, it is best to try out some of the many other anti-snoring remedies now available.
Although the bronchitis virus which causes the more common acute bronchitis infection needs to run its course, the coughing and wheezing symptoms can be eased by following a few simple guidelines such as:
Symptoms of bronchitis include a persistent cough producing phlegm, breathlessness, chest pains, fever, and headache. Treatment Aromatherapy Take deep inhalations of eucalyptus and sweet thyme.
Breathing problems are becoming more common as air becomes more polluted. Many alternative therapies, especially herbal medicine and homeopathy, can help in many of the more common conditions that affect the respiratory system.
1. Stop Smoking Smoking is directly linked to the vast majority of chronic
infections either from being a smoker or breathing passive cigarette smoke. If you smoke then the only solution for complete recovery from chronic bronchitis is to quit and if you are a non-smoker then it is wise to consciously avoid areas where others are smoking.
With snoring becoming more prevalent year after year, there are now many on going studies for finding out all that can be on the repercussions of long-term steady snoring in both men and women of all age groups. Doctors and researchers have only really officially studied snoring as a worrisome on going problem since the 1960's, but a wide array of serious health issues have been connected to habitual snoring, and the health risks are still being discovered.
Treatment Herbal Medicine Make infusions of the following: for most coughs white horehound is effective for a hard cough use mullein for an irritating cough in adults use wild lettuce, and in children wild cherry bark (a mild sedative)
One of the most recent health risk findings is the association of snoring all the time and chronic
. As of January 2008, those patients that suffered from chronic
had been found to more often be regular nightly snorers than those without chronic
. These specific linking studies between chronic bronchitis and habitual snoring have been under the research microscope with doctors around the globe since the earliest part of the 2000-decade and the studies have been continuous ever since. Even with all of the studies linking the chronic
and habitual snoring, the exact causes and specific reasons of connections are still being researched due to some unsure answers still not being known.
for a cough with a fever use yarrow or angelica for a catarrhal cough use elecampane or elderflower. Diet and Nutrition Biochemic tissue salts, taken in tablet form:
Herbal Medicine A cupful of elecampane infusion, three times daily, can be helpful in clearing mucus and easing a bronchial cough. And taking garlic capsules every night in winter and herbal teas cold twice daily may help prevent a recurrence of acute bronchitis.
5. Liquorice Tea The liquorice herb is a good treatment for assisting recovery and preventing bronchitis. When treating bronchitis three cups of liquorice tea can make a big difference to the length and severity of the infection.
/wheezing Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways that connect the windpipe to the lungs (bronchi). Acute
lasts up to two weeks and is caused by a variety of viruses and bacteria. It can be dangerous in the elderly and those with heart disease. Chronic
is more serious and can last for months, getting progressively worse. It is usually caused by breathing polluted air or smoking. Coal miners and construction workers, for example, are particularly susceptible.
Triterpenes in the mushroom are what is believed to assist in lowering blood pressure. The side effects experienced by eating the Reishi mushroom are generally rare, but they can include dry mouth, nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, skin rashes, and nosebleeds in a small amount of the population. If any of these symptoms arise in you, you should reduce your dosage or discontinue your use of the Reishi mushroom. Guidelines as far as dosage go as follows:

What People Said About
Bronovil Bronchitis Remedy
I felt miserable so i went to doctor and he said i had a bronchitis. he gave me antibiotic but even 2 weeks later i was still coughing. i got the bronovil remedy and 3 days later my cough went away.
" Betty - California
Consult a qualified practitioner/therapist for: Acupressure Coughing spasms in the upper back can be relieved by pressure on the point between the shoulder blade and spine, at heart level.
For the more serious snorers, a continuous positive airway pressure mask or also known as a CPAP mask that holds the throat open throughout the night and increases the nightly oxygen flow might be another option. But it is best to start exploring less invasive anti-snoring remedies such as Asonor nasal drops that can be purchased over the counter, because with so many to choose from, there is a good chance to find just the right one for you.
At this point, there are now over 88 million snoring Americans, and a good 10% of these habitual snorers are beyond the embarrassing nuisance that snoring tends to be. Even though, habitual snoring is not a good safe way to live, but it is within this last 10% of excessively loud and breath stopping constant snoring that is found to be where the highest level of health demeaning risks will set in.
Many experts also look to the Reishi mushroom for helping to lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and help increase the beauty and vitality of skin. While the studies still need to be conducted, some believe the Reishi mushroom to be an anti-cancer agent, as well. The Reishi mushroom contains polysaccharides, a substance that has fought cancerous tumors in mice. Polysaccharides also help to enhance the immune system.

In many cases of snoring, breathing periodically stops and starts which may last up to a few seconds throughout the night. But it is the constant nightly breathing interruptions over the years that so many more life serious health risks will start to arise. With almost 50% of men being snorers, and a good one third of women now regularly snoring, the evidence of the serious health risks has only become even more evident.
2. Drink More Water Drinking plenty of water will loosen up the phlegm and mucus and make it much easier for the body to eliminate it when coughing. Warm clear drinks are also good but stay away from mucus producing drinks such as milk as this will only make things worse.
cough at night when lying down, lack of thirst, and loose green sputum in the morning. Traditional Chinese Medicine This treatment aims to improve lung energy with remedies such as plantain seed, balloon flower root, honeysuckle flowers, or gardenia fruit.
4. Use a Vaporizer Using a vaporizer to deliver warm moist air into the lungs will also help to break up the mucus and assist your recovery. If you don't have access to a vaporizer then you can either run a hot shower with the bathroom door closed or perhaps place some boiled water in a pan and place your head above it and breathe the steam.
Reishi mushrooms can be found in supplements, capsules, powders, teas, and coffees, providing numerous ways to get your dose. About the author: John Gibb manages Nutritional supplements
should not be taken lightly as it can progress to more serous health problems such as pneumonia if left untreated. In most cases antibiotics are not the answer so the simple measures outlined above along with plenty of rest will help to reduce the time it takes to recover from the infection and make life a little easier while you have the condition. Follow these bronchitis treatment tips and you'll be back to health in no time.
Consult a qualified practitioner/therapist for: Homeopathy Remedies will be prescribed for the individual case but may include the following: Aconite 6c for fever, tight chest, tickly cough, and thirst might be recommended; Kali bich. 6c when there is loose white sputum, a rattling cough, and irritability; Phosphorus 6c for voice loss, burning throat, cough, and thirst; Pulsatilla for dry
3. Avoid Diuretics It is a good idea to avoid diuretic type drinks such as alcohol and coffee as these have the effect of lowering fluid levels within the body because they make you urinate more. To assist the body to fight the
infection you need to maintain good fluid levels to break up the mucus.
7. Forego the Cough Suppressors It is sometimes best not to take cough suppressing medicines as the action of coughing actually helps to loosen up the phlegm and move it from the lungs. Cough suppressing medicines tend to dry the mucus which slows its elimination.
Acupuncture An imbalance in the flow of energy to the lungs can be treated by inserting needles into the Lung meridian on the arms, or into the meridian of another organ with a related rhythm.

for a hard, dry cough with fever - Ferrum phos. for a cough with thick, white phlegm - Kali mur. for a cough with yellow phlegm that is worse at night - Kali sulf.
General health supplement: 500mg twice per day Heart disease: 1500mg per day Immune system enhancement: 500mg three times per day
: 1500mg per day while the condition persists
6. Regular Flu Needle If you suffer from chronic bronchitis then it is wise to have a regular flu injection to be on the safe side. This is especially important for the elderly as bronchitis can progress to pneumonia quite easily.

The Plus Project: Third Iteration
Greetings friends and followers, I wanted to let you know that Ardith Goodwin has volunteered to begin the third iteration of The Plus Project! Ardith will be selecting a different member of the Google Plus community every day and writing a poem just for them!
Corey Gearhart did an awesome job with the Second iteration of The Plus Project, and I know that Ardith will absolutely continue to do it justice. You can follow her progress at ardithgoodwin.com. Make sure you circle her so you can stay on top of who she selects. Who knows, the next one could be you!
The Power of Relationships
When I began The Plus Project the point was to connect with other people and to make them feel good. I wanted to take one person, and make them feel valued and recognized.
I wanted to bring joy to someone else's life and show them that they matter and that they are loved. I know that I have it in me to be heard and to make a difference for someone. And I hoped to be able to make a difference by showing others that they can make a difference.
It reminds me of the story of the boy and the starfish. It's been travelling around the internet for some years, so you may have heard it.
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die."
"Son", the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!"
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said "I made a difference for that one."
I wanted to do that for someone. I wanted build a globe spanning community that is connected by more than just wires and electricity, but by an appreciation for each other and for the value inherent in all human life. I want people to be able to focus on the things that connect them more than the things that separate them. I want people to see that we are – each and every one of us – incredible beings, with the ability to make a difference; with the ability to bring joy into the hearts and lives of others.
Since creating The Plus Project I have met a staggering number of fantastic people, and I have been amazed at the number of individuals who have expressed an interest in walking the same path. I've had the opportunity to speak words of encouragement to people dealing with the challenges of being gay in a culture that is largely anti-homosexual. I've participated in discussions on gender assumptions. And I've been able to support people who have fought for, and won, their personal freedom.
There have been several people that have contacted me about doing something similar on their own, and I've been asked to host some video chats with the individuals that I selected for The Plus Project (currently in the works) to continue the discussion. The point is that people have the desire and the ability to connect, and to do awesome things. Sometimes they just need an idea to rally around and to motivate them.
The picture above was created by Corey Gearhart, as part of his Second Iteration of The Plus Project. I've been under the weather for the last few days, and he surprised me with it earlier today. To say I was blown away is an understatement, but not just because it's a great piece of artwork or because it was unexpected. I was blown away because it is an example of the fact that a single person has the ability to make a difference to others, and to the world.
Maybe something I said or did was important to Corey, but it doesn't matter because now he is doing and saying something that is important to others. He is showing people that they matter enough to him for him to set aside time from his day to do something that is just for them. He is giving them a gift of beauty and joy that is not only theirs to keep, but theirs to share. It is my sincerest hope that the people touched by Corey will choose to share their joy with others, and so continue the cycle.
Corey is like that boy, tossing the starfish back into the ocean. I want to be like that boy too. I want to be able to say "I made a difference for that one."
The Plus Project: Second Iteration
Hey all, I just thought you'd be interested to know that Corey Gearhart has agreed to begin the next iteration of The Plus Project, starting today! As I understand it, he intends to do one sketch every weekday for the next month. He already completed his first post earlier today, and you can view the piece on Flickr. Here's a thumbnail:
Corey is totally awesome! Be sure to check out his work!
Thoughts on The Plus Project
So, I just concluded the Plus Project yesterday. If you're interested you can go read that post here, or follow the discussion about it here. I had expected there to be some people that would congratulate me, or offer some nice words, but the outpouring of support that I received went way beyond what I could have expected. Why am I still talking about this? Because it is a great example of the way that sharing our stories and our lives with each other can bring us together. Not in some hokey utopian kind of way, but in a real and authentic human kind of way.
I've met so many wonderful people through this experience. Certainly the people that I selected for the Plus Project come to mind, but I've also met so many incredible people through them. People I never would have spoken to otherwise. Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive. I know that it's not like I just magically became BFF's with everyone all of a sudden, and there are some (maybe even many) of them that I probably will never hear from again. But that's ok. It's ok that our connection may have been transient. It's ok because the point wasn't to build lifelong friendships (though that would be nice), the point was to make someone smile, even if only briefly.
I also wanted to remind the readers that I am still looking for people that would like to begin their own iteration of the Plus Project. I'd love to help you if you're interested, but it doesn't have to be a collaboration. You're welcome to do it on your own. I would encourage you to do whatever you love. Do whatever you're good at. Whatever sparks passion in your heart, do that thing, and find a way to bring others into it. It doesn't matter what that thing is, just take a step in the direction of what you love, and invite others on the journey.
I'm keeping this short and sweet today, so go hug someone, go laugh with someone, or comfort someone. Go play with someone, or share your story with someone. Go and share your authentic joy with another person, and remember that only you are uniquely qualified to share your joy with the world.
The Plus Project: Conclusion
Yesterday was a full thirty days since I began the Plus Project! Wow, what a ride it's been! I've met designers, a scientist, a birthing specialist, an author, and even an animal trapper. There were single moms, recent college grads, cyclists, and entrepreneurs. I've had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of men and women from all four corners of the map, some whose language I do not even speak, each doing wonderful things with their lives by speaking their opinions, creating with passion, and sharing their stories. Each of them is leaving an indelible mark on this world simply by being here; simply by living. Each of them is making the world a better place just by being themselves.
With that being said, I have officially decided to conclude the first iteration of the Plus Project.
Wait, what?
Yeah, it's true. I've thought long and hard about whether to continue the Plus Project, but I think it would be pretentious for me to attempt to stretch it further in its current form. The ultimate goal of the Plus Project was to recognize people for their extraordinary selves, for the simple poetry of each of their individual lives, and in the process identify the beauty and majesty within each of us. In that regard, the Plus Project has wholly succeeded well beyond what I ever would have imagined.
The beauty of the Plus Project is that it is personal. There were no algorithms used in selecting people. There were no hordes of machines on an assembly line. No focus groups, or test markets, or advertising campaign. Just one guy with a silly idea. Just me, trying to make someone else's day brighter. While I could continue, I would be forcing it, and instead of it continuing to gradually reveal the masterpiece of our humanity, it would become something much more manufactured. It would become something mass produced, machine assembled, and prepackaged for your convenience.
However, you may have noticed that I referred to it as the first iteration of the Plus Project. That is because I don't intend for this to be the complete end of it. I would like to see the Plus Project continue in new forms and shapes, with new ideas and methods. I would like to see you carry the torch in showing the world that people matter, and that one person can have an impact on the mankind.
With that in mind, I am looking for people that would like to begin their own iteration of the Plus Project. I am looking for people that would like to partner in creating something that is fresh, and authentic, and from your own heart. It could have a duration of thirty days, or a year, or just a week. It doesn't matter. You could do what I've done and write about people. You could sketch someone's portrait each day, or photograph them at play. Maybe you have a podcast and could interview them.
The means and method don't matter near as much as the underlying goal of unveiling the beauty of humanity to the world, and bringing joy into someone else's life. If you're interested, let me know in the comments, or send me a private post, or you can email me from my Google Plus profile. I'm happy to brainstorm with you to come up with ideas, and you're even welcome to use the logo I made for the Plus project, if you like. So I'm asking you, will you begin your own iteration of the Plus Project?
In case you missed any of them, I am including below a list of all of the individuals that I have selected, and links to what I had to say about each of them. Feel free to share my posts on Google Plus, or on my blog as you see fit.
To the people that I have already selected, you are creative, fantastic, incredible people, every single one of you, and I have been beyond honored to get to know each of you. You are each individually and uniquely awesome in a way that no one else ever has been or ever will be. What you do is wonderful, what you think is critical, and what you say is crucial. You bring a light and a vibrance to humankind. The passion in your heart is essential. Your impact on the world is irreplaceable, and you are irreplaceable. You matter, and you are loved.
I wish the best to each and every one of you.
Mike Searle

Facebook's billion-dollar acquisition of photo-sharing software Instagram on April 9 confirmed that the world wants to take and look at pictures with interesting filters. But artistic manipulation of the photographic process is not new and, contrary to what users might expect, interest in Instagram has had a positive effect in a surprising place: at analog-only photography company Lomography, which has opened 12 new stores just since this past fall and has plans to open two more, in Chicago and Antwerp, in the coming months.
Matthias Fiegl, one of the original founders of the 20-year-old, pinhole- and fisheye-loving, Vienna-based company, recently visited New York City. He sat down with LightBox at the company's Greenwich Village store— where signs proclaim the "prophecies of the analogue future" and the walls are papered with photographs—to discuss why its competitor's success is good for business.
"People have tried out filters on Instagram and now they want to do the real thing," says Fiegl. "We hear that all the time in the shop."
Lomography started as a way to buy the Russian Lomo cameras that Fiegl and his friends loved, and now sells a variety of cameras, accessories, film, clothing and books. Fiegl says that people are often surprised that the Lomography website sees up to 8,000 images uploaded daily and about 2 million unique visitors each month. It's a tiny sum compared to sites like Flickr but, Fiegl notes, users tend to be more selective when they need to develop and scan their photos. "Lomography is a niche," he says. "From that perspective it's a huge community."
According to Lomography USA's general manager Liad Cohen, Lomography benefits from blending online and live communities. Lomography's website has sharing capabilities, and the stores host photography workshops and exhibitions. One such exhibition is a traveling world tour of a collection of vintage 1960s and '70s "Diana" cameras (Lomography sells a model) amassed by the award-winning photographer Allan Detrich. The exhibit, which also features camera customizations by local artists at each stop it makes, returns to the U.S. on May 10 and will spend about a month in San Francisco before going on to Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago and New York City.
Fiegl theorizes that people who are interested in making art in a novel way want to do something unusual: "The younger the people are, the more they want to do analog," he says. Lomography once considered selling a digital camera, but a survey of customers revealed that "Lomographers" were more interested in new analog cameras instead. And even if digital filters can achieve Lomography-like looks, Fiegl thinks that users who see themselves as artists, rather than snapshot-sharers, are drawn to his company because it encourages users to keep and come back to older work, whereas the streaming format favored by media platforms like Instagram makes it hard not to just look at what's most recent.
Even though new customers often have to be taught how to load film and reminded that they can't see the photos right away, Fiegl says that amateur photographers for whom digital is normal see something appealing in old-fashioned technology—and unlike larger and older photo brands, Lomography has grown alongside digital photography and has not had to struggle to reorient itself in that landscape.
"Maybe the technology is redundant," says Fiegl, "but it's opening up new possibilities."
The Diana World Tour returns to the U.S. on May 10, opening at the Lomography Gallery Store in San Francisco. The show will then travel to Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago and New York. Information from past stops the show has made is available here, and more information about Lomography is available here.

Francona wants Day 1 energy to permeate camp
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians manager Terry Francona liked the energy level he saw from his players during Friday's full-squad workout. He is hoping that the team continues to display the same intensity as Spring Training rolls on.
"That's the idea," Francona said. "It's easy the first day. Everybody is all excited. The idea is to match that every day. Weather-wise, it was perfect. You're not fighting the elements. And the idea moving forward is to have that energy every day regardless of what drill we're doing. It's easier said than done, but that's the idea."
Francona jumped right in to the workout, manning first base during infield drills and helping catch throws back to home plate at one point. Francona said he enjoys being a hands-on manager as much as possible.
"I like to try," he said. "As you get older, it's not quite as easy. A couple times I saw a couple balls coming over. Once I almost blew out. But, yeah, I enjoy it. You want to be out there with the players. It's important to me. But that's the importance of putting together a staff, too.
"There's so much confidence in [third-base coach Brad Mills] putting the day together. I could walk off that field, come in here and talk to you guys, and I know the day would go exactly like that if I wasn't there. That doesn't maybe say much for me, but I think you get my point."

I've never been to the capital of love and was extremely fortunate to be whisked off at the weekend. I wanted to capture my trip in a way which represented how I would look back on my memories in my head. Confused you may be, but try this… when you reminisce, what do your mental memories look like? Well – this is how mine are! Enjoy the mood boards I've created and inhale the architectural beauty that is Paris in Spring!
Of course, as a Francais newbie, I had to capture the iconic Eiffel Tower. I played around with the colour in the picture to add an aged effect which I'm very pleased with – especially the purple sky effect. (Confession – I'm also a Photoshop newbie believe it or not!) Also, there was no doubt that I HAD to experience the street of high society, home to Versace, Christian Dior, Prada and the famous 5* Plaza Athenee Hotel – Avenue Montaigne.
Below is a classic French restaurant, Lasserre, which was poised beautifully at the end of Avenue Montaigne. The middle picture is my partner who so thoughtfully organised our Parisian trip and at the bottom, graffiti which was written on the top of the tunnel where Princess Diana tragically died.
The spiked tower below which pierces the French sky, belongs to the historic Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. It reminds me of the spine that sticks out of the gruesome alien in the film Alien – very eerie. The stair case instantly struck me when we checked into our hotel – the range of bright colour, variety of materials and unusual design was an eclectic piece to feature in the centre of the hotel.
The carousel below looks like it's bounced back from the 1930's with the stained yellow film staining the accent colours. The man featured below was carefully re-arranging his souvenirs perfectly in line – the concentration was intense. But I adore this picture, it heavily contrasts with the romantic and luxurious stereotype that is attached to Paris. It humansises the city and exposes its roots.

Ten years ago, Nick Carr said IT doesn't matter - sort of.
The jarring headline of Carr's May 2003 article, IT Doesn't Matter, is what many people remember, and it tends to overshadow his more thought-provoking thesis: that companies have overestimated the strategic value of IT, which is becoming ubiquitous and therefore diminishing as a source of competitive differentiation.
"The opportunities for gaining IT-based advantages are already dwindling," Carr wrote in the Harvard Business Review article. "Best practices are now quickly built into software or otherwise replicated. And as for IT-spurred industry transformations, most of the ones that are going to happen have likely already happened or are in the process of happening."
[ Q&A:Nick Carr on 10th anniversary of 'IT Doesn't Matter'
BLOG POST:IT Doesn't Matter: What every IT pro needs to know to survive in the cloud era - Part 1 | Part 2]
Carr advocated spending less on IT, both to reduce costs and to decrease the risk of buying soon-to-be obsolete equipment and applications. He also predicted the rise of utility-like computing: "The arrival of the Internet has accelerated the commoditisation of IT by providing a perfect delivery channel for generic applications. More and more, companies will fulfill their IT requirements simply by purchasing fee-based 'Web services' from third parties -- similar to the way they currently buy electric power or telecommunications services."
The article ignited an industry firestorm. It wasn't shared on Facebook, it didn't trend on Twitter and it wasn't voted up on Reddit - none of those sites existed at the time. The article went viral the old school way: It was passed around the office, written about by other publications and discussed on IT news forums such as Slashdot.
Carr spoke with Network World this month about his inspiration for the article, the backlash, and the article's unexpected longevity. (Read the full Q&A here) LINK TO Q&A
"I knew I was writing something that was provocative and that went against the grain of a lot of the rhetoric that was out there about information technology and business. But the reaction went way beyond what I expected," Carr says.
His editor agrees. "He, I, and we (all of us at HBR) knew that it would be controversial," said Tom Stewart, former editor of Harvard Business Review, in an email to Network World. "We also suspected that it might be misinterpreted as being a Luddite's argument for typewriters rather than a nuanced argument that IT was strategically important not for itself but for what it enabled one to do, just as [using the analogy Nick used] electricity was more important for what people did with it than for the fact that it spawned a utilities industry."
"Our suspicion proved well-grounded: Nick was attacked as much for what he did not say as for what he said -- maybe more," said Stewart, who today is chief marketing and knowledge officer at Booz & Company.
IT suppliers were the most upset, Carr recalls, since he essentially was telling corporate leaders to ignore vendor hype and to stop overspending on IT.
"The biggest backlash came from IT companies. Steve Ballmer called it hogwash, Carly Fiorina dissed it. All the vendors were really up in arms," Carr says.
In the trenches, CIOs and IT executives had more mixed reactions. "Some of them really took offense at the article, but others said, 'Yeah, I can see a lot of sense here. This is kind of where we're heading, this is what I'm trying to do,'" Carr says.
Andi Mann, a former industry analyst and longtime enterprise technologist, saw that dichotomy among the IT executives he worked with. Some IT pros, threatened by the thought of losing control, wanted to prove Carr wrong to their CEOs and maintain the status quo. Others saw Carr's essay as a wake-up call.
"One group was trying to maintain their legacy and trying to stop the momentum of change, of innovation, of enabling rather than controlling the business," Mann says. "The other group was saying to me, 'I think this guy's onto something, and I want to be the innovative CIO, I want to be the CIO who actually uses this technology.' Both groups were interested in trying to prove Nick Carr wrong, but for different reasons and in different ways."
Making a career of it
"IT Doesn't Matter" turned out to be a career-defining missive for Carr, who followed it up with multiple books (including 2004's "Does IT Matter?" and 2008's "The Big Switch") speaking engagements, and another ire-raising essay titled "The End of Corporate Computing."
Looking back on the 10-year-old HBR essay, Carr says he got some parts right and some parts wrong.
"Back then, IT companies tried to sell the latest server model as the key to strategic advantage -- you need to be on the cutting-edge of infrastructure or your business is going to be overwhelmed by competitors. At that level, the idea that the basic technology was going to be neutralized as a competitive differentiator has basically panned out," Carr said.
On the other hand, IT pros have new challenges to address, such as cloud strategy, mobility and social media. "From another point of view, I think I probably understated the new things that IT departments would have to grapple with. I don't think I expressed the full range of what was to come," he says.
Industry watchers agree - to varying degrees.
"He didn't look into the future. He looked at the present state and saw a lethargic, slow, controlling, almost domineering department of IT," says Mann, who today is vice-president of strategic solutions at CA. "He got it right: IT needed to be fundamentally different. But he also got it hideously wrong."
Suggesting that IT doesn't matter, that it's commoditized, and that cloud providers can do the job of IT fundamentally underestimated the value that IT brings to businesses, Mann says. "Nick Carr is a provocateur and author rather than a technologist, and I don't think he understood what IT does when it does it well."
More on the same page as Carr was analyst, David Tapper, vice-president of outsourcing and offshore services at research firm IDC, who says he fundamentally agreed with Carr's article.
"I think he got people to start to think about it, to say, 'Let's step back from what we do and ask: Where is this all going, folks?' He was right. I think he needed to modify it a little bit, but he struck the right chords," Tapper says.
To Tapper, one distinction Carr should have made is to specify who will care about IT in the future: "I think he should have said, 'To whom should IT matter?' Because it won't matter to the consumer, it will matter to the suppliers and the service providers," Tapper says. "The service providers are the ones that are going to buy all this stuff, they're going to integrate it and operate it." To everyone else, technology is just a tool to do their jobs, something that's taken for granted, according to Tapper. "Do I wake up in the morning thinking about my telephone or the boiler in my house? No. Only when there's a problem. Otherwise I never give it a second thought."
Tapper agreed with Carr's prediction that IT would move to a utility model. "Once the masses of the world need something, it always becomes a utility. There are no exceptions," Tapper says. "It's the only way you can deliver it. And technology is now something we can't live without."
March to the Cloud
Ten years after the HBR article, companies still have a long way to go on the path to Cloud computing.
"If you look at IT, the bulk of investment these days, certainly on the vendor side, is on Cloud systems and applications," Carr says. "On the other hand, if you look at corporate spending, Cloud is still a fairly small percentage of overall spending, even though it's growing quickly. So we're still kind of between two eras."
Tapper agrees. "Companies are in the stages of restructuring their IT departments and trying to form them around cloud categories, such as platform as a service. They're outsourcing or procuring different clouds. They're trying to get it under control. It's a bit out of control now -- one company had 30 Amazon contracts and didn't know about them."
Back when "IT Doesn't Matter" was published, the idea of utility-like computing was relatively new in the trenches of enterprise IT. But Mann saw some IT leaders accept the implicit challenge and begin laying the groundwork for Cloud computing because of Carr's article.
"There were a couple of organisations that specifically started talking to me about virtualizing everything, automating everything, implementing chargebacks and things like that. That was the start of a number of my clients' journeys to the Cloud," Mann says.
The fact that it's still being talked about suggests Carr made some valid points.
"If Nick had just merely [been] a provocateur/bomb-thrower/iconoclast - i.e., had he been wrong - then the article would have been a 9 days' wonder, not something you'd like to write about on its 10th anniversary," Stewart said.
At the very least, the article left a lasting impression. "It's still a bit of a raw nerve for a lot of people," Mann says.
