6 The Director, Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), administers the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) on behalf of the Secretary of Defense UOCAVA requires each federal department and agency with personnel covered by the Act to have a voting assistance program The FVAP biennial Voting Action Plan and Department of Defense Directive 1000.4 establish policy and guidelines for carrying out an effective voting assistance program
7 Your job as a VAO is to help to ensure that citizens understand their voting rights and how to register and vote absentee under UOCAVA
8 UOCAVA requires states and territories to allow citizens covered under the Act to register and vote absentee for Federal offices States and territories have their own laws that allow UOCAVA citizens to vote in state and local elections U.S. citizens allowed to vote under UOCAVA include: Members of the U.S. Uniformed Services (on active duty) and merchant marine; Their family members U.S. citizens residing outside the U.S. UOCAVA covers more than six million potential voters worldwide
9 The goals of the FVAP and VAOs worldwide are Informing and educating U.S. citizens worldwide of their right to vote; Fostering voting participation; Protecting the integrity of, and enhance, the electoral process at the Federal, State, and local levels, and; Promoting effectiveness and efficiency in the administration of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). 18+
10 1 st : UOCAVA voting success rates to equal or exceed general population rates Absentee ballot cast rate Registration/Absentee ballot request failure rate FWAB utilization/success rate 2 nd : UOCAVA voter participation rate to equal or exceed general population (by age group)
12 Voting Requirements All states and territories have two basic voter requirements: A voter must be a U.S. citizen, and; At least 18 years old on election day in order to vote (some states permit a 17-year old to vote in primary election if he or she will be 18 by the date of the general election)
13 The Voting Process The absentee voting process permits citizens covered by UOCAVA, who will be away from their local polling places on election day, to register, request a ballot, and vote through the mail (or an alternative method if allowed by the state) In order to receive a ballot in a timely manner, it is very important that citizens keep their local election officials informed of address changes
14 The Absentee Voting Process Step 1: Complete the FPCA to register and request your absentee ballot from your Election Official Step 2: Election Official approves your FPCA and sends you a blank absentee ballot Step 5: Your vote is counted. Step 3: Complete the FWAB to ensure that your vote is received in time to be counted Step 4: Complete the Absentee Ballot and return it to your Election Official
15 The Federal Post Card Application The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is a postage-paid postcard for use by absentee voters covered under UOCAVA and is available through service distribution channels The On-Line Version of the FPCA is an alternative to the card stock FPCA, available at www.fvap.govwww.fvap.gov The Voting Assistance Guide provides voting procedures for all states and territories, including Registration and ballot request deadlines State ballot mail out timeframes Ballot return deadlines Electronic transmission alternatives
16 The Federal Post Card Application The FPCA serves as a valid request for absentee voter registration and/or absentee ballot request, regardless of whether the sender was registered prior to submitting the FPCA Due to the mobility of UOCAVA citizens, FVAP recommends that each citizen submit an FPCA to his or her state of legal residence in January of each year and again each time there is a change in the citizen's mailing address

18 The Federal Post Card Application As a VAO, citizens will come to you for assistance in filling out the forms required to register and vote absentee under UOCAVA The following slides will walk through the process of completing and submitting the FPCA and the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot This process will be presented from your standpoint as a VAO providing assistance to a member of the Uniformed Services, Jim, and his wife, Jane, who want to register and vote in the November general election
19 Completing the FPCA Block 1: Register/Request Ballot Because Jim is in the Uniformed Services, he will check box (a) Jim's wife, Jane, and any eligible family members will also check box (a) This information determines, in some states, whether a voter receive a partial ballot (only Federal offices) or full ballot (Federal and non-Federal) All states allow Uniformed Services members to vote the full ballot – thus, Jim will receive the full ballot X
20 Completing the FPCA Block 2: My Information Information on race is requested by some states, but Jim's application will not be rejected if he leaves it blank You encourage Jim to provide a telephone, fax number, and email, which will help the local election official communicate with him and resolve any questions regarding the FPCA Jones Sr x 198505 7 -5777145 firstname.lastname@example.com James XY 1 14525717721125 - 23-45 - 114,, Larry -6787914523-451-14
21 Completing the FPCA Block 3: My Voting Residence The information that Jim enters here will determine which ballot he will be sent Jim is pretty sure that his voting residence is in California, but since he has moved around quite a bit since joining the Uniformed Service, he has asked you for help in making sure Since residency questions can be complicated, the following slides will provide some general guidelines on this topic, before re-visiting the matter of Jim's voting residence PAPA 06757 1007 M ayville 122 Maple Somewhere Terrace
22 Voting Residence Each voter must have a legal residence address in a state or territory to vote in U.S. elections Final determinations on issues of voting residence are made by the local election officials Voters should provide as much information as possible on the FPCA to help ensure successful registration and ballot request Always check with legal counsel if you have questions about legal residence
23 Voting Residence: Uniformed Service Citizens For members of the Uniformed Services and their family members, legal voting residence (in most states) is defined as where the citizen has, or has had, physical presence at the location and where there is intent to remain or return A voter may only have one legal residency at a time Once residence is changed, a voter may not revert to the previous residence without re-establishing new physical presence and intent to remain or return Factors to consider in determining correct voting residence: What is the address on your leave and earnings statement? Where have you registered to vote? Where is your vehicle registered? Where was your driver's license or state I.D. card issued?
24 Now, back to Jim. He presents the following facts to you concerning his voting residency situation: Jim resided in Minnesota (MN) where he joined the Military in 2000. Jim's MN address will always be his home of record. Jim was stationed in North Carolina (NC) after leaving MN. Jim still considered himself a MN resident, and had no intent on changing his residence to NC, even though he obtained a NC driver's license. For the 2002 general election, Jim used the FPCA to request a ballot and voted absentee in MN, as that was still his voting residence One year later, Jim rented an apartment in NC, registered his vehicle in NC, and had all of his bank accounts in NC. Also, Jim got married in NC to Jane, a NC resident. MN NC
25 In the 2004 general election, Jim, who still considered MN his state of residence, voted absentee in MN. Jane, even though she was an eligible UOCAVA voter as Jim's spouse, could not vote in MN since she had never established a legal residence there. Thus, she voted locally at the polls in NC. In 2005, Jim was transferred to California, where he and Jane purchased a home and she began working For the 2006 general election, Jim again voted absentee in MN, since he had not made a conscious decision to make CA his state of voting residence. Jane, although paying CA income taxes, also never made a conscious decision to make CA her state of residence. Thus, Jane sent an FPCA to NC and voted absentee there. CA
26 In 2007, Jim and Jane both made a conscious decision to make CA their state of legal residence, and they registered to vote there In the 2008 general election, they vote at the polls in CA In 2009, Jim is transferred to Japan. While in Japan, Jim and Jane decide that they miss NC, and will return there in 2011. Now, in 2009, Jim and Jane are filling out the FPCA, and they have questions about voting in 201 – can Jane vote in NC, since she was once a resident there, and they intend to return there in 2011? Can Jim vote in MN, since he was once a resident there, and it is his home of record?
27 Even though Jim once had legal residence in MN and Jane in NC, they cannot vote in those states because they both established legal residence in CA. For Jane to vote in NC, and Jim in MN, they would have to re-establish residence there, which would require at minimum their physical presence Thus, since CA is still Jim and Jane's state of legal residence, they fill out block 3 of the FPCA with the address they had in that state Key points to remember: You may only have one legal residence at a time, but you may change it each time you are transferred to a new location The address on your leave and earnings statement is often your legal residence address
28 Completing the FPCA Block 4: Where to Send My Voting Materials Since Jim is currently stationed overseas at an APO, he enters his mailing address at that location You remind Jim to notify his local election official ASAP if/when he has an address change Jim can check the VAG to see if his state permits faxing or emailing of the ballot Your State may allow you to receive the ballot electronically; refer to your State pages for details USS FVAP JamesLarry Jones FPO AE 54321 X JamesLarry Jones 12 N o r t h C o u r t s t Ro ck v i l l e, PN 4321 O
29 Completing the FPCA Block 5: My Political Party Preference Political party preference is required in most states to participate in partisan primary elections In a partisan primary election, candidates from a political party are chosen to represent that party in a subsequent general election After checking his state's requirements in the VAG, Jim decides to enter his political party preference Note that even if Jim did not enter party preference, he would still receive the November general election ballot AbcdefAbcdefPar tyty
30 Completing the FPCA Block 6: Additional Information Provide any additional information in this box that may assist your Local Election Official with processing your form. Your State also may require additional language be included in this box. Due to military contingencies, I am unable to follow the regular absentee ballot application process. I request a special write-in ballot. Last date lived in Mayville: Feb. 2002.
31 Completing the FPCA Block 7: Affirmation After reading the affirmation, Jim signs and dates the application You remind Jim that by signing the FPCA, he is verifying his information under the penalty of perjury James L. Jones 0 8 0 7 2 0 0 6
32 Jim is now ready to mail his FPCA: First, he checks his state's requirements in the VAG to make sure he complies with any/all state deadlines Next, he looks in his state's section of the VAG for the mailing address of his local election official He enters the complete address for the local election official on the FPCA mailing envelope You notify Jim that if he mails his FPCA through the U.S. Post Office (including APO/FPO) or diplomatic pouch, he should not write "USA" in the address line of the mailing envelope, as this could cause delay Note that if Jim was using a foreign country's postal service, he would have to apply local postage, and he should write "USA" in the address line of the mailing envelope
33 How to Send It Cardstock version of the FPCA is postage-paid in the US Mails U.S. Postal Service Military Postal Service State Department Pouch Mail Online version must be placed in an envelope and postage is not automatically paid Postage Paid envelope template available at http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media/returnenvelope.pdf
34 When the local election official receives Jim's FPCA he/she will process the form and send the ballot to Jim's mailing address, provided that Jim meets the state residency requirements and his FPCA was fully completed Jim is encouraged to call, fax, or email his local election official to verify that her application was processed. Jim should receive his regular state absentee ballot from the local election official in time for him to vote and return the ballot by the state's deadline for counting
35 Top Reasons why an FPCA Cannot be Processed Inadequate or No Legal Voting Residence Address Inadequate or Illegible Current Mailing Address Illegible Writing Applying to the Wrong Jurisdiction Failure to Indicate Party Preference (for Primary Elections) Form not signed and/or dated Received too late Form not completed Envelope lacks proper postage
36 Consequences of Failure YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SUCCESFULLY RECEIVE AND CAST YOUR BALLOT
37 Recent Elections Potential Decided by UOCAVA Voters 2000: Florida Presidential Election 2006: Virginia U.S. Senate Election 2008: Alaska U.S. Senate Election 2008: Minnesota U.S. Senate Election 2009: New York 20 th Cong. District Special Election
38 Electronic Transmission All states and territories will transmit a blank FPCA through electronic transmission (faxing or emailing) of the, and some allow electronic transmission of the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot and other election materials Chapter One of the Voting Assistance Guide details which electronic alternatives are available in each state and territory Refer to the Voting Assistance Guide for detailed transmittal instructions
39 FVAP Electronic Transmission Service FVAP provides toll-free faxing and email support to Uniformed Services members, family members and overseas citizens. Faxing: DSN faxing and toll-free fax numbers in 51 countries http://www.fvap.gov/contact/tollfreefax.htmlhttp://www.fvap.gov/contact/tollfreefax.html Email: Send materials in PDF form to firstname.lastname@example.com@fvap.ncr.gov Where allowed by your state, you may also send your election materials to this email address for email-to-fax conversion.
40 The Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot Occasionally, even though a UOCAVA voter has submitted a complete and timely FPCA, he/she may not receive the ballot in time to return it by the state's deadline In situations like this, UOCAVA citizens may use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) The FWAB is a ballot that can be used by UOCAVA citizens in all general elections for Federal offices The FWAB is pre-positioned at Uniformed Service bases throughout the world and available online at www.fvap.gov
41 The Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot You can submit the FWAB at any time, and multiple times In most cases you can only use the FWAB to vote for Federal offices in general elections. Some States have expanded the use of the FWAB to include Voting in primary, run-off, and special elections Voting for offices other than Federal offices. Use as a registration and ballot request. You should still return your regular state ballot Submit the FWAB no later than 30 days before the election.
42 The Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot FWAB SF-186 FWAB SF-186A(Online) http://www.fvap.gov/usm/usmfwab/index.html
43 It is 34 days before the general election, and Jim has returned to you for additional assistance Jim has not received his absentee ballot and he is concerned that there is not enough time to return it in a timely manner if/when he does get it As a VAO, you know that FVAP recommends that a UOCAVA voter who has not received his/her ballot should complete and submit the FWAB no later than the 30 th day before the election
44 Completing the FWAB First, you tell Jim to read all instructions carefully before completing the Declaration/ Affirmation, which is very similar to the FPCA Next, you notify Jim that, as with the FPCA, some states require that a notary/witness sign the FWAB, so he should check the VAG to find out what is required in his state Jim signs and dates at the bottom of Declaration/Affirmation
45 Completing the FWAB Jim is now ready to complete the write-in ballot, but before he does so, you explain to him that: The FWAB is used for Federal offices, so he can write in his preferred candidates for the Office of President and Vice President, U.S. Senator, and U.S. Representative For each office, he may write in either a candidate's name or a political party designation Some states have expanded the use of the FWAB for state and local offices as well, so he should check the VAG to see if his state allows him to write-in these offices President/Vice President U.S. Senator U.S. Representative State Governor
46 Next, Jim inserts (1) the sealed security envelope (containing the voted write-in ballot) and (2) the Declaration/Affirmation into the mailing envelope (1) (2) Mailing Envelope
47 Jim looks in his state's section of the VAG for the mailing address of his local election official He enters the complete address of the local election official on the FWAB mailing envelope You notify Jim that if he is mailing his FWAB through the U.S. Post Office (including APO/FPO), he should not write "USA" in the address line of the mailing envelope, as this could cause delay Note that if Jim was using a foreign country's postal service, he would have to apply local postage, and he should write "USA" in the address line of the mailing envelope
48 Next, Jim enters his mailing address in the upper left corner of the envelope – not his legal voting residence address You remind Jim that before mailing, he needs to review the voter checklist that is provided on the mailing envelope Notify Jim that, if possible, he should ask the mail clerk to hand stamp the FWAB envelope for proof of timely mailing Finally, Jim places the FWAB in the mail
49 Two days after mailing the FWAB, Jim receives his regular state absentee ballot. You advise Jim that he should vote and return the ballot immediately. The regular ballot must be signed, dated, and postmarked by the day of the election If the regular ballot arrives by the deadline for receipt of absentee ballots, the state will count the regular ballot instead of the FWAB. Jim should return his regular ballot regardless of its receipt date because his state may allow late counting of these ballots from overseas citizens

I write historical suspense and women's historical fiction set in the South or about Southerners traveling far from home. I am a native Georgian who loves Appalachia and Southern food, as well. I collect cookbooks of traditional Southern foods and recipes. I have subscribed to your blog and I am looking forward to more great posts. If you are interested, you can learn more about me at my website http://www.lindapennell.com/ and my blog https://historyimagined.wordpress.com Hoping you and yours have a wonderful 2017!

H-E-B earns kudos from EPA for green thinking
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is recognizing some firms that are taking the initiative when it comes to energy conservation.
Among those earning praise — San Antonio grocer H-E-B.
The company is one of the many firms involved in the Green Power Partnership — a voluntary program that encourages organizations to use green power, and thus reduce the environmental impacts of conventional electricity use.
H-E-B has been recognized as a leader in the retail industry when it comes to using green power. It is one of 20 companies that has made EPA's aptly named Top 20 Retail list.
H-E-B came in at No. 12 — having used 62 million kilowatt hours of green power.
Other notable chains making the list — including their ranking and annual green power usage (kWh):
1. Kohl's Department Stores: 1.5 billion kWh
2. Whole Foods Market: 800 million kWh
3. Walmart: 751 million kWh
5. Starbucks, Company-owned stores: 592 million kWh
For the full Top 20 list — and other top partner lists, click here.

Lisa Banu, Assistant Professor of Design History,Purdue University
Fig. 1, Kolshi
This essay follows the plight of an unlikely protagonist in the story of Bangladeshi modern art, the kolshi. Operating as an iconic object in art, the kolshi, refers to gender, geography, nationality and culture. Consequently, the matrix of meaning connecting the geographical element of water and the women of the nation often mediated by the kolshi, is significant. The narrative of the kolshi speaks of a persistent struggle in Bangladeshi modern art to both articulate a national identity and to connect to a shared modern world. The survey follows the movement of the iconic water pitcher interpreted by the following artists' works: Zainul Abedin, Quamrul Hasan, S. M. Sultan, Hamidur Rahman, Abdul Baset, Nasreen Begum and Qayyum Choudhury. In their works the theme of national and gender identity in a modern world is configured through the robust practice of art as evidence of creative confrontations of local identity and global connectivity.

Hemp Tiny Houses for Seniors
"Help Build first Hemp tiny house in Washington State for Senior Citizens – with Solar Panels on the Roof.
Share Widely – Gofundme – https://www.gofundme.com/helpseniorsbuildtinyhouses
Senior citizen Pat Rasmussen is building the first industrial hemp insulated tiny house on a trailer in the state – right in Olympia – to show other seniors how they can build their own secure, warm, comfortable green home on a small budget.
Many seniors like Pat live on $800 or less a month social security – some had jobs that didn't put retirement away for them. At age 70, they deserve a secure, warm home and they can have one – a tiny home.
Natural hemp insulation with energy efficient design means no heating is required. Solar panels mean no electricity bills. Solar water heating provides hot water. The tiny house sits on a trailer designed for tiny houses so it can be moved when needed.
Growing industrial hemp is now legal in Washington State – the first seeds go in the ground spring of 2017. We are fostering a new industry for our state. It's time to get ready for building with hemp!
The tiny house can be in a community space, a tiny home village, or as an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) in someone's yard where they can live in community with the home dwellers and other friends in the neighborhood of their choice and with a network of support."

EagleYew House — Efficient Technology With an Artist's Aesthetic
"Artist Ezio Cusi's house is a work of art —and also built smart. The timber-framed house with light clay walls is made with mostly local natural materials.
For the cold winters, it has an annualized geo-solar system (AGS) which in summer transfers hot water from solar panels to storage in the ground. In the cool months the heat flows back into the house, warming especially the periphery. It's comfortable even in the top story. A hand-sculpted dragon provides whimsy as well as warming in the masonry rocket stove — which burns far more efficiently than a wood stove as well as offering a nice warm bench to sit on! Art is embedded in walls while many windows are graced with original stained glass. Enjoy the blend of beauty and functionality."
Moving to Scenic Tourist Towns
We all know the US economy is not the greatest right now. Many people have lost their jobs and can't find new ones. Many people are thinking about moving elsewhere. One possibility is moving to a popular scenic tourist town.
Some of the most beautiful places I've ever been are quaint tourist towns in scenic areas. While the economy in many areas may be miserable, tourist towns typically do quite well financially because they are desirable places to visit and live. I've always been particularly drawn to the old town areas that have very charming architecture. This is where you'll find friendly family restaurants and shops with interesting things such as antiques, old books, local crafts, juice bars, health food stores, sporting goods, etc. Some of these towns are particularly popular because they are near large national forests, large reservoirs that attract many fishermen, as well as ski resorts, popular hunting areas, peaks and hiking and biking trails. This helps create a diverse year-round economy, not just summer tourism.
Property in town is usually expensive, but the prices often drop as you get farther outside town. One option is to fix up an old building until you can save up to build your dream home. Tip: you can check real estate listings online to get a good idea of cost and availability. Obviously some tourist towns are very exclusive and extremely expensive.
In addition to tourist related businesses, some tourist towns also have state colleges, clinics, and other businesses.

Salvaged Timber Trusses
Salvaged wood timber is an excellent option for building roof trusses. If you buy salvaged timbers through an architect for a custom home like this they will be pricey of course. But timbers like these can also be obtained cheaply or even for free if you do the work yourself.
Years ago my friends and I volunteered about two weeks to help tear down an old World War 2 era warehouse at the airport. For our efforts we obtained enough rock hard old growth douglas fir wood to build a 1,000 sq. ft. house for free. The deal included full 2" thick 2"x12" joists and 2"x4" studs. You can't buy newly sawn wood so strong. It was a lot of hot, hard crowbar work, but also a lot of personal satisfaction.
By the way, the salvage company we worked for did all the work negotiating the contract, getting insurance, etc. He made the most beautiful antique custom barns I've ever seen. They were truly works of art for rich horse owners. (This is a potential business opportunity if you're interested.)
CodeNEXT: Nightmare Agenda 21 Building Codes of the Future
This is a new building code system that city planners are trying to implement in Austin, TX.
"CodeNEXT is a plan is to effectively do away with old fashioned things like neighborhood zoning and building use restrictions. Those are too complex and burdensome. Now that Austin has become a "destination city," we shouldn't live in houses on blocks in neighborhoods. Instead, we should be divided into "corridors," "nodes" and "transit hubs." While this may work for designing certain sectors of undeveloped land, it should not be imposed on existing neighborhoods against their will.
CodeNEXT: "A comprehensive planning process that uses codes to integrate the built environment into larger economic development strategies."
You can go check out the CodeNEXT site here. The "Listening to the Community Report" artfully speaks in the reverse. You will see page after page of the same phrases, but not a single hint of public suggestions, public comments, or even any summaries of public likes and dislikes of any of the concepts mentioned. There is a long roster of consultants and assorted private firms listed in these reports. The City's website lists 11 members of an advisory group that is working with these firms as part of CodeNEXT. But nowhere will you find the backgrounds of the advisory group members, who they work for, or who appointed them. This is most likely another consultant-driven process with pre-ordained results.
Nix CodeNEXT Before It Nixes Us!
Fermenting root veggies
We have just started fermenting our own root veggies
I must admit that I never really liked foods like store-bought Sauerkraut. We had both tried Kimchi at Korean and Japanese restaurants and were not impressed. So when I started reading and hearing about how important our gut bacteria is, to not only only our digestive system, but the healthiness of our entire body, we were both rather skeptical.
Then we realized that fermented foods we have eaten previously sometimes contained vinegars, which is what gave them such a harsh flavour. Looking into fermented foods further, and talking to family that grew up with fermented foods, we realized that "real" fermented foods were much simpler.
On to YouTube to look at some videos and away I went with trying out my first fermented food trial. We happened to have a few turnips in the cool room that were getting towards the end of their storage life. We picked up a small celeriac (celery root) to go with the turnips and also added ginger root, mustard seed and Himalayan salt.
All I did was put grated ingredients together, pound them for a bit to get juices coming out and put them into an earthen bowl. There was not quite enough liquid to make sure veggies were fully covered (otherwise there will be spoilage), so I poured small amount of previously boiled water over the mix.
A lid from another bowl fit in upside down to give a partially sealed cover. I also added a few extra plates on top to make sure it stayed down on first batch. Didn't need it on this one. Then I just covered it up and put it in a dark corner of kitchen for a week or so.
It tasted great! It wasn't harsh like the vinegar-based products at all and the ginger gave it a nice little kick.
This time I am using sweet potatoes, carrots and ginger, along with mustard seed and salt. Next time, I may even add some onions and garlic!
Try it out for yourself. It is very good for your health and adds a flavourful condiment to your meal as well. Don't eat too much in a day to start or your digestive system might not be too happy. Also, if you have health issues, or an overbalance of bad bacteria in your system, you may experience die-off like I did.
Be sure to sterilize everything used in process, and don't use any veggies with molds on them.
Creating the World We Want to Live In
As Buckminster Fuller so poignantly said, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
So close your eyes, breathe deeply and relax. Now start to imagine the ideal world you'd like to live in. Here are some things I'd like to see:
– Forest gardens everywhere: no industrial agri farming with toxic sprays and fertilizers. The world could be literally covered in food producing forests since we know it's possible to regreen the deserts.
– Ecovillages built with sustainable, natural building materials: We believe that community is an essential building block for creating a cooperative and sustainable world. The structures and wisdom of community are both a means and an end to meeting the needs of all people and the planet, and must be available, understood, appreciated, and developed. We envision cooperative communities of all kinds working together to meet these needs.
– Sustainable energy: Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, bioenergy, tidal power and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency.
– Local self governance: Decentralisation of powers is a pre-requisite of a democratic society. Local self-government implies the decentralisation of powers so that the elected bodies may function independently with authority and resources to bring about economic development and social justice. For sure, I do not want to see a top down, one world government as some are proposing.
These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg. Our Natural Building Blog profiles hundreds of projects and innovative methods to improve the world.

If you need to get on a flight from Singapore's Changi Airport, you must be on a ferry to Singapore at least four hours before departure time, preferable earlier.
Transport to and from Batam to the airport Hang Nadim
Taxi from/to Hang Nadim Airport to the town will take about 25 minutes, with a cost of up to Rp 100,000.
If you are heading for Singapore best to go to the Batam Centre pier where hourly ferries head for the central Harbourfront pier in Singapore, the ferry will take about an hour but you need to pass immigration on both sides.
Flights from Batam to destinations within Indonesia are often cheaper then from Singapore. If you are coming from Singapore to catch a flight at Batam Airport best take the subway from the airport to Harbourfront where numerous ferries depart to Batam Centre. From there proceed by taxi (Rp.70.000) to the airport. Be aware there is an hour time difference.

Reflection: Vertical Alignment 10: A Helpful Best Friend - Section 1: Hook and Objective
10: A Helpful Best Friend
Lesson 4 of 8
Objective: SWBAT explain how they can use ten to solve a story problem.
Hook and Objective
Warm Up!
I will use the Make Ten game from Dreambox Learning. It is a free tool that I project onto the promethean board. I will show the game board, and students will get a whiteboard. They will record as many number sentences as they can that equal 10. They only get 4 minutes to record. After they record the number sentences, I'll have students "popcorn" call our the pairs. If we have time, we will play a game with a new gameboard.
Make 10 is an incredibly important understanding for students to have. When students have fluency with 10, they can compute accurately/quickly. This means they free up mental space for the other complexities of solving a word problem such as deciding what strategy to use, how to write the equation, etc.
Review and Connect:
We have been solving story problems and showing lots of strategies to do so all year. Today we are going to look closely at another strategy-we are going to see if we can use 10, our best number friend, to help make solving story problems easier.
Your thinking job today is: How can I use 10 to help me solve this story problem?
Opening Discussion
Present problem: I am making a necklace. I have 8 blue beads, 2 green beads and 3 red beads. How many beads are on my necklace?
Guiding Questions: I'll ask most of these questions in partners so all students are having to think about the answer, not just one!
- Retell this problem to a partner.
- What are the 3 addends in this number sentence?
- Look for 10! Are there 2 addends you could combine to make 10?
- What is the total?
I'll show this number sentence on a double ten frame. I'll use color to help students differentiate the groups of beads. The double ten frame is a great instructional tool because it helps students start to visualize numbers in a base 10 structure.
Game Rules and Practice
I will show how to record the game while we practice. This number bond recording sheet is free on the Fun, Fabulous, Firsties blog!
We are going to play a game called Ten Wins! In this game, we are going to work on finding 10 to help make adding 3 numbers easier.
Game Rules:
- Roll 3 dice.
- Look for 10: Do you have 2 numbers that you can combine to make 10?
- Highlight the addends you could use to make 10. No 10, no highlighter.
- Write the total.
We will practice playing the game a few times on the rug. Every time we practice, we will partner talk about whether or not there is a combination that makes 10.
Independent Practice
Directions: Students will record the numbers they roll on the number bond recording sheet. They will highlight number pairs that equal 10. This number bond recording sheet is free on the Fun, Fabulous, Firsties blog
See this video for how 2 students made 10 in their game! You'll also see how he takes a second to figure out how make 10 works in this particular problem.
Intervention: Students who need support in finding number pairs to 10 can use a ten frame to show the numbers in cubes. They will need 3 different colors of cubes to help them differentiate the groups.
Extension: Students who are already using this strategy need a push! Push these students to use 50 as a landmark number. Just as students need practice using 10 to help them solve problems, they also need to learn other numbers that they can use as a landmark number. 50 is a good number for students to use before they use 100!
Students can play the Grab It version. This is what we did. Students "grab" 3 groups of base ten blocks and look for 50! Watch this video of 2 students explaining how they found 50 with 40+10+31 and then how they found the sum.
I'll present this problem on the chart paper: 6 + 4 + 5 + 5= ____
Partner talk: Can you find a number sentence that equals 10?
We will quickly highlight the 2 pairs that equal 10, and solve the 4 addend number sentence.
The blog with the resource no longer exists. Can you upload a copy of the recording sheet?

Cheese Crackers (Gluten Free)
Recipe by zepharum
I haven't made these yet. If you try them before I do, please let me know what you think!
Top Review by email
I made these once and I'm actually on this site tonight looking for an easier version of this very recipe. They tasted great, but this was a HUGE amount of trouble and mess for the effort and we ate them very quickly. My son requested them again and I just can't bear to go through that! I'm trying the Cheese Straws. They look much easier.
See Discussion:
1 ReviewIngredients Nutrition
- 2 cups fine rice flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon finely ground mustard seeds
- 3⁄4 cup butter, cut into small pieces and softened
- 12 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons water
- additional salt, to top the cracker (optional)
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and ground mustard.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Mix in the cheese, and blend until the cheese is evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks and the water.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.
- Add more flour if needed to make a workable dough; it should be mostly cohesive but somewhat crumbly.
- Divide dough into two equal portions and flatten into discs about inches thick; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for about one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly-floured surface or pastry cloth, roll out a dough disc into a circle approximately 1/2 inch thick. The dough will be somewhat crumbly; just do your best to keep sticking it together.
- Cut the dough circle into four equal segments. Without rotating each segment to align the cut and non-cut sides, stack the segments atop each other. Press the dough segments gently together, and re-flouring if necessary, roll the dough out again.
- Repeat the cutting, lifting, and rolling two more times. (It's this repeated stacking and rolling that gives the cracker its flaky, crisp layers.).
- The last time you roll the dough, roll it to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- If desired, sprinkle top lightly with salt; press lightly into dough with rolling pin.
- Cut the dough into 1-inch squares; place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Prick each square once or twice with the tines of a fork.
- Bake the crackers for about 8-10 minutes.
- If any crackers are browned through, remove them to a cooling rack.
- Turn the rest and bake an additional 5-8 minutes, or until medium to medium-dark brown.
- Cool on a rack; then store in an airtight container.
- Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking for the second dough disc.


text: A mariculture company in Hawaii has invented a farming method that has near to zero environmental impact. By filling 100-ft. (30 m) copper-alloy mesh cages with fingerlings and letting them drift, tracked by GPS, in deepwater ocean, they make a safe place for the fish to grow, thus making a non energy wasting fish farm. In 2011 it tested 20-ft. (6 m) pens and collected twice as much fish as was expected. It is probably the most ecological farming possible.
