Rural System's
The Tamrakar Project was initiated by an email from Anand Tamrakar to Professor Robert H. Giles, Jr. in February, 2005. Mr Tamrakar was starting a horticulture clinic in Bhilai, Chhattisgarth, India. As I first understood, he conducted a kitchen-garden and seasonal- flowers consultancy from his clinic. His customers seemed to want pictures of new gardens. He sought software relating to landscaping and general improvements, especially for the betterment of horticulture.
Anand explained in his second correspondence that he graduated from his studies in agriculture science in 1998. He was very much interested in working with the tribals' and farmers' communities. As all of us, he admitted need for support from many hands who really want to work as he did. His interest and reaching out pleased me and I decided to try to be of help.
As I explained in a subsequent letter to him, I hoped that we could work together. I wanted no money, only to learn that some ideas have been put to good use and that my web site is being seen by students and people interested in improving natural resources in India (and elsewhere). Though I was a student of botany and a home gardener, I knew that my specific knowledge about horticulture would not compare to his. I knew from past experience that there would be may things to share. I knew I would learn much from the interaction. The Internet offered a great opportunity.
I sought to assist and since I believed Rural System concepts were widely relevant, perhaps part of India's golden revolution, I suggested that we work together for our mutual education, interests, and hopefully for his financial benefits. I was also hopeful that other relations might be developed, especially with EarthQuilt.

Ignorant of the specific details of the ecology of Bhilai and aware of the limited time to be spent, I intend to concentrate on the principles of s system for raising and managing plant crops for profit. It may be modern "horticulture" but there is not time for discussing that term and its definitions. The work here within this project may provide the basis for (and demonstration of) a system aiding in achieving sustainability of small holdings, increasing human health through nutrition, increasing employment, improving environment, and providing an export potential. It is a worthy endeavor and participation by others is very welcome.
It is clear that India now has substantial horticultural research being carried out at eight ICAR institutes (with 26 regional stations), 10 National Research Centres (on major crops) and a Project Directorate on Vegetable crops. Area specific, multi-disciplinary research is also being conducted under 14 All India Coordinated Research Projects each on Tropical, Subtropical and Arid Fruits; Vegetables, Potato, Tuber Crops and Mushrooms; Ornamental Crops, Medicinal and Aromatic crops; Palms, Cashew,
Perhaps The Tamrakar Project can tap the results of these projects and programs with over 700 scientists to provide clear returns from these efforts and funds in this one place for its people.
Its challenges, as elsewhere in India, probably can be seen in gaining the resources and time for using biotechnology, protecting cultivation, using computer-aided land and crop system management, integrating nutrient management, using leaf nutrient standards, using biofertilizers, developing integrated animal and plant damage management systems, and using mycorrhiza innoculants.. Perhaps research can be taken up in partnership with the private sector to sustain cost-effective studies long enough to yield conclusions on topics like producing hybrids, producing green house flowers, adding value, and exports with significant local benefits.
Paddy is the principal crop and the central plains of Chhattisgarh are known as rice bowl of central India. Other major crops are coarse grains, wheat, maize, groundnut, pulses and oilseeds. The region is also suitable for growing mango, banana, guava & other fruits and a variety of vegetables with 44 percent of its area under forests it has one of the richest bio-diversity areas in the country. It has abundant minor forest produce like Tendu leaves, Sal seed, etc. Medicinal plants, bamboo, lac and honey are other potential money earners for the state. Chhattisgarh has embarked on a concerted plan to increase double cropped areas, diversify the cropping pattern and improve incomes from agro-based small-scale enterprises.
Much of this site will be devoted to notes that I have made as I learm about Mr. Tamrakar's business, Chhattisgarth and its ecology, and horticulture as it may relate to the Gardens Group of Rural System
Preliminary Ideas and Suggestions From Giles
February 28, 2005
I try to get a business started here and one part is a tourism group. I think we may be of mutual help as I consider and develop more, and perhaps work to get tours to your area and gardens.
I promote the concept of ranging, a new world for outdoor sports as well as sightseeing and ecotourism. Visiting your clinic, as well as the cultural sites, the jewel mines, your gardens and the forests can make an excellent ecotourism attraction.
My notes on soils, hopefully are directly related to your work, probably not at all related to rice growing.

I do not know about earthworms in India. I imagine they can be cultivated and can be used to make good garden soil. We need to discuss that. I have hope of developing alpha earth for gardens. Such "earth" may be a good sale item for you, a medium for your plants that you can demonstrate and sell, and by having different species of earthworms in separate units, can make claims about the differences --- diversification is good for business. Perhaps it can be used in mined land reclamation. I learned that there is much mining there.
My ideas about the gardens are available. I hope some will be useful.
Perhaps there is a publisher there who will print my book called Forest Faunal Systems - it is a book about wildlife management in the forest and it is on the web.You can sell it out of your gardens, perhaps with your native plant cultivars being raised by you for commerce.
We need to discuss reducing wildlife damage to crops. Work with tribals should supply much common sense and old techniques for protecting crops and reducing losses.
I think we need to emphasize reducing loss as much, or more, than increasing production.
My ideas on the total system , Rural System I call it, all (I think) are related to your garden and horticulture interests.
I think we can develop with you computer maps of the entire state, maybe just your area near Bhilai, and then make specific maps of where different plant communities grow best. Each species has its own ecological requirements. If we have most of the major ones in a computer, we can map the places where the plant is likely to be successful. You can then sell these maps or at least give specific advice about growing season, insects, disease zones, and plant stress. Computer students there may be interested in GIS (geographic informations sytems). My students have been very successful in using computer maps (GIS).
Maybe we can discuss species of bamboo (if grown there ) and their uses. What varieties? here the price is high and there are collectors of species. Perhaps we can study an export market for you, at least sharing of possible uses of different species.
I struggle to get this thing, this enterprise, that I call Rural System started. I have taught most of the concepts behind it in a university class in systems ecology and elsewhere, developed computer systems, done research, but learned too late that to get sustained natural resource management it must be done by business and with a profit incentive.. That is why I continue. Perhaps we can join forces, you can make some money and develop your clinic, but maybe by finding helpers and contacts some of the ideas and effects can be felt.
I shall gladly work with you and large land owners who may see the advantages of Rural System and a cooperative, coordinated project among us.

The United Nations Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee held a regional conference on October 2 on countering terrorism financing and proliferation for the Middle East and Northern Africa region.
The event lasted two days and was run by CTED, the Middle East and North Africa Financial Action Task Force and the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Unit of Jordan. Thirteen representatives from Member States of the MENA region participated in the event, along with several representatives of international organizations. Participants examined the international legal framework of efforts to prevent money-laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation.
The leaders of the event discussed attacking the funding of terrorism as a way to fight terrorism. If terrorists have no financial resources, they have little leeway to carry out attacks. The participants discussed how punishing those who fund terrorism both deters future efforts to fund terrorism and limits current terrorism capabilities.
Participants also discussed how best to enforce the rule of law while respecting human rights and how to implement Security Council resolutions 1718 and 1874, which require Member States to be vigilant in transactions that may be linked to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
CTED will continue to support Member States in the MENA region in the fight against terrorism funding.

About 10 years ago, my husband and I first visited Wolf Hollow in coastal Massachusetts, a sanctuary for endangered gray wolves. We were headed to the area earlier this month so we asked our son, Graham, if he wanted to visit. He agreed and started his research on Wolf Hollow's website weeks before the trip. There he saw he could adopt a wolf. It was perfect timing. We were helping Graham look for an organization to donate to from his "give" jar (he also has "spend and "save" jars). He picked out a wolf and on our recent visit he met Linnea. Graham feels great about his contribution and my husband and I are thrilled with our... Continue Reading →

I would call our family an "on-the-go" family. We need to stay connected all the time, but staying connected comes with the high cost of an iPhone family plan for us. We were given the opportunity to try out the new Cheap Wireless Plan from Walmart Family Mobile and I figured it was a great way to start saving money.
So why do we need to stay connected all the time? Kyle and I both work full-time outside of the house and Lennox attends Montessori school full-time. We all have different schedules and meetings going on. So when you add a child into that mix, having a schedule and being able to communicate easily with each other at any given time, is very important.
Now that Lennox is in school rather than a daycare, we have an exact schedule to stick to. We try to get her there as soon as the school day starts so that she gets her full day and doesn't miss any lessons, work time or even recess, because we all know recess is lots of fun!
So, how do we keep the schedule when both parents have to work? We stay connected to each other via our smartphones. Whether it's a text saying, "Hey can you pick Lennox up? I'm stuck in a meeting" or a "Hey, getting out of work early, I'll pick up the kiddo so you don't have to…" we stay connected. Imagine if we didn't have cell phones or email and we had to actually catch the other person at their desk, I have a feeling we would be crossing our paths more often, showing up at school with Lennox already being picked up and running around like crazy people. It's so convenient to stay connected all the time via our iPhones. Another bonus of having this connection? Lennox's school emails us if they need to check on something or send alerts.
So this all sounds great, so what is the catch? Being this connected all the time, comes with a cost. A big cost actually. I love our phones but the service is NOT cheap. I did the math and we pay close to $2,000 a year on our AT&T iPhone bill. That is more than an extra month's mortgage payment, or 2 months of school tuition, and even more than 5 car payments, etc…you get the picture, It's a lot! So when we were given the opportunity to try out this new service by Collective Bias and the #FamilyMobileSaves, #cbias campaign, we were excited to save money!
Lucky for you, starting July 14th, Walmart Family Mobile has a price rollback of just $39.88/month on the unlimited plans (unlimited text, talk and web) on all the Concord and MyTouch phones! What a great savings that is compared to how much we have been spending per month through AT&T.
The whole process of getting one of these Walmart Family Mobile cellphones and getting it ready to go is SO simple and fast. No contracts to review, no add-ons to be pushed on by a salesman at the cellphone store, you just go into Walmart, purchase the phone of your choice and buy the $25 starter kit. After, activation you can even log in anytime to access the online account management and information center.
Over the next few months we will be trying out this service and hoping we can save money while still staying just as connected! I will keep you updated on how this all goes, but I have high hopes and my budget will appreciate it!

North Texas Friends of the People's Weekly World met on the first Wednesday, as we always do, at an Oak Cliff restaurant. We had selected a new ideological article by CPUSA Chairman Sam Web that is in the current Political Affairs.(http://www.politicalaffairs.net/article/articleview/8479/) for discussion. We also thought that Bruce Bostick's op-ed in the current PWW might be considered a companion piece. "The role of the left in current politics" was our theme.
Our discussions are bilingual, and it was a drawback that the Webb article hadn't come out in Spanish yet. But all of us were aware of that there are fiery voices on the left that are trying to burn holes in the progressive American coalition that elected President Obama last November. Various pundits and smaller organizations have been calling for a break in this coalition. In fact, some of them were calling for a break even before the election and before the coalition had formed!
Should we, as responsible activists, be demanding that the banks and auto companies be nationalized? Should we demand single-payer health care take precedence over the general unity of the progressive coalition? Should we demand a condemnation of the Obama administration? Certainly, we all agreed that we are in a time of great opportunities, but what, specifically, should we be doing about it in North Texas?
We realized quickly that the Webb article did not specify what local tactics we should take. One member pointed out that not having specific issues to work on tends to dilute our coalition work. The Bruce Bostick op-ed was more specific, but may have been a little too impatient in tone, according to one participant. Bostick's phrase, "the workers are begging us for leadership," sounds great, but is it really true in North Texas? The unremarkable response to recent public protests indicates that it is not literally true here as yet.
We looked at the historical precedent marked by Franklin Roosevelt's second term. The progressive coalition in that case made great improvements for workers in America, and activists of that time played a very good role.
One important difference between serious communists and less committed political activists is that we stick to the strategy of putting the working class first. "Communists have no interests outside the working class," is more than just a familiar quote from the Communist Manifesto. It is a test that every proposed tactic must pass.
Our discussion brought us toward acknowledging that Webb is right. We should work as hard as we can toward unifying the progressive coalition around workers' needs, not destroying it. Advanced demands such as "nationalize the banks" need to be raised, but not as do-or-die ultimatums that might shatter the coalition. We can make proposals and offer opinions without issuing ultimatums. The workers in North Texas may not be begging us for leadership, but they are more open to ideas than at any time in memory.
Specifically, we emphasized two important areas of work. One of them is to push state government to accept the $555 million in unemployment stimulus funds. The governor is grandstanding on this, as covered in the PWW (http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/15534/ "The Battle Continues Over Unemployment Funds"). We noted that the Texas AFL-CIO was doing a terrific job in this fight, and that church leaders from Dallas Area Interfaith are making it a priority. Our work in that direction has been very good. The broader fight for the right to organize in America is also a very good priority. Both of these issues are thoroughly working class, both of them already have significant support in the larger American coalition, and both of them can benefit from our efforts. We suggested ways to bring more civil rights activists to join the unions and church leaders in this battle.
In Texas, people who commit themselves to building a better world can sometimes feel isolated. Getting together for a monthly discussion invigorates us. We get good ideas, and we tend to focus better on our work. During our May discussion, participants also contributed another $45 to the People's Weekly World.

Mordekaiser is a great champion if played correctly, and fairly weak if not. I have seen few Morde's that go dps and play well. That being said, this is just my opinion of Mordekaiser - that he is best played as a tank. I am an average player, and have a record of 76 wins, 39 losses with Morde currently. I thought I would share a few tips that I have learned.

Dallas McCarver falls in a ditch!
Dallas McCarver is an up and coming star in the bodybuilding world. That said, we all have to agree that he looks like Oompa Loompa hit a growth spurt, then slipped fell into a ditch full of Sustanon syringes. Once he got out of the ditch, he entered into a Dianabol eating contest, and won by a mile!
Dallas proceeded to make a bet with a friend, that he could live off of nothing except winstrol, for 30 days. He lost, he could only do it for 29, so he had to tattoo his last name on his back. Regardless, Dallas is a great new talent, and will definitely be a staple in bodybuilding for a long time. That is not a good enough reason not to get roasted!

- Design Review Guidelines Update
Design Review Guidelines Update
The City of High Point's Historic District Design Review Guidelines are in the process of being updated in a joint effort between the City of High Point, the Historic Preservation Commission and members of the community with an interest in preserving the city's historic properties.
The High Point Historic Preservation Commission has identified the need to update the Design Review Guidelines, which have not been significantly revised since adoption in 1992. A redesigned and more comprehensive document is needed that is more user-friendly, and reflective of current expectations of the property owners in our three local historic districts, the design community and Commission members.
The City, through its Historic Preservation Commission, received a 2016 federal Historic Preservation Fund grant, awarded and administered by the State Historic Preservation Office of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. The grant is being used to partially offset the cost of updating the Design Review Guidelines.
What are design guidelines?
Design review guidelines provide a framework from which recommendations may be offered about the appropriateness of exterior treatments to homes located within a historic district. Through such guidelines, the Historic Preservation Commission, homeowners and staff are supplied with minimum standards for making decisions when reviewing applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). An application for a COA must be submitted and approved prior to conducting any exterior work, other than ordinary maintenance.
The Process & Timeline
The process of updating the Design Review Guidelines is scheduled to be completed by August 2017. At that point, the City will have a fully revised document in a digital format. A consultant team, consisting of Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll, of Ramsey Leimenstoll, Architect, and Heather Wagner Slane, of hmw Preservation, were selected to complete the new design review guidelines.
There will be several opportunities for the community to provide feedback throughout the process. The initial public meeting on the project was held on February 8, 2017 at the High Point Library. A Design Review Guidelines Task Force has also met monthly with the consultant team to provide feedback and direction on the Design Review Guidelines.
A completed draft of the updated Design Review Guidelines was presented at a community meeting on June 15, 2017 at the Roy B. Culler, Jr. Senior Center. This meeting offered residents of the city's three historic districts, Johnson Street, Sherrod Park, West High Avenue, as well as other members of the community, an opportunity to view the completed draft (available to view or download below) of the updated Design Review Guidelines. The meeting also provided an opportunity to learn more about the update process, ask questions and share concerns. Community involvement is essential in ensuring that the new design review guidelines are tailored to the specific needs of the City of High Point.
The completed update to the High Point Design Review Guidelines will be on the agenda for adoption by the Historic Preservation Commission at its regular meeting on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the large conference room at the Parks and Recreation Administrative Office, located at 136 Northpoint Avenue, due to the ongoing renovations of the City Council Chamber.
The Design Review Guidelines, Final Draft (PDF) is now available for review. A link to the final draft is available at the bottom of this page. Questions or comments may be directed to Dave Fencl or Bob Robbins in the Planning and Development Department at 336-883-3328, or via e-mail at email@example.com or email@example.com.

It's the demand of Ford Bronco that forces and motivates the Ford group to come up with this new version of SUVs midsize along with the wheels 4×4. It is made of latest smart technology that increases a love of a person for automobiles to a great extent.
The 2020 Ford Bronco share the platform with the Ranger truck. People are waiting desperately for 2020 Ford Bronco so that can enjoy the ride to a great extent at a price that is not too much high as compare to the other versions.

In distributed storage systems (DSS) data is reliably stored over a network of nodes in such a way that a user can retrieve the stored data even if some nodes fail.To achieve such a resilience against node failures DSS introduce data redundancy based on different coding techniques. For example, erasure codes are widely used in such systems. When a single node fails, the system reconstructs the data stored in the failed node to keep the required level of redundancy.
This process of data reconstruction for a failed node is called node repair process. During a node repair process the node which is added to the system to replace the failed node downloads data from a set of appropriate and accessible nodes.
There are two important goals that guide the design of codes for DSS:
reducing the repair bandwidth, i.e. the amount of data downloaded from the nodes during the node repair process, and achieving locality, i.e.
reducing the number of nodes participating in the node repair process.
These goals underpin the design of two families of codes for DSS called regenerating codes and locally repairable codes.
In this talk, we first will present a construction of a new family of optimal locally repairable codes based on maximum rank distance (MRD) codes. Second, we will discuss hybrid codes which for a given locality parameters minimize repair bandwidth. These codes are based on a combination of locally repairable codes with regenerating codes.
Finally, we will consider DSS containing nodes with adversarial errors. The key challenge in such systems is the propagation of erroneous data from a single corrupted node to the rest of the system during a node repair process. We will present a novel coding scheme for DSS which provides resilience against adversarial errors. This coding scheme also makes use of MRD codes.

Millwall 1, Barnsley 3
(SkyBet Championship)
A repeat of their 2015-16 League One play-off final scoreline earned Barnsley their first away victory for five months – and even Millwall manager Neil Harris admitted that it was deserved.
Reds' head coach Paul Heckingbottom was not arguing with that, although he did, apparently, express his disagreement with referee Oliver Norwood's decision to award the home team a first half penalty in such strong terms that he was ordered to spend the entire second half sitting in the stands.
Heckingbottom was still insisting after the game that the official, acting on the advice of his assistant, had got it wrong when Matty Pearson was penalised for his challenge on Lee Gregory.
"It was a clean tackle", claimed Heckingbottom. "We could all see that. When I watched it back it was so apparent, with the Millwall players' reaction, but the linesman's flag went straight up.
"I made sure none of the players went up to the referee at half-time. I approached him myself. When I came out for the second half to go to the technical area he told me I couldn't go in there.
"I didn't want to make a scene, but I don't know why I wasn't allowed to be there in the second half."
As it happened it had no adverse effect on the game as far as the Reds were concerned. Going in at the break with the scores level at 1-1 they added two more goals in the second half – and might even have had more.
It was a performance which left Heckingbottom as pleased as punch, despite his red card!
"!'m delighted with the way we handled Millwall," he said. The only blemish was in not keeping a clean sheet."
Some people are never really satisfied, are they? But then, that's the best way of targeting improvements.
For example, a team with so many new players as the Reds have fielded this season needs time to build up an understanding, and there were further signs on this occasion that this is beginning to happen.
Some of the link-up play was top-class and while Tom Bradshaw (pictured) earned the plaudits with his match-winning double he owed much to the supply line provided by an outstanding Ashley Barnes down the left flank.
The first half provided little of note until Barnes sprinted clear five minutes before the break to deliver the perfect cut-back for Bradshaw to steer the ball home from close range.
The game sprang suddenly to life and Millwall levelled matters in the second minute of first half stoppage time with that controversial penalty, converted by Gregory who was also the player who had gone down under pressure from Pearson.
On the resumption, with Heckingbottom banished to the stands, the Reds were indebted to a point-blank save by Adam Davies from Steve Morison and there was a period of Millwall pressure, but Barnsley began to create chances of their own, particularly on the break.
A Brad Potts' header brought a brilliant save from Jordan Archer and on the hour mark the Barnes-Bradshaw combination struck again.
This time there was some excellent complementary play by Cameron McGeehan, who was making his full debut. He played a superb 35-yard pass to Barnes, who again provided the cross from which Bradshaw gleefully netted with a carbon-copy of his opener to give his side the lead.
Victory was assured seven minutes from time when two substitutes combined in the third goal, ironically from a penalty!
Jared Bird was brought down and Mamadou Thiam made no mistake from the spot.
The Reds could have increased their lead in stoppage time, with Adam Hammill firing wide from a good position and Thiam forcing the goalkeeper into a fine save.
Millwall boss Harris had no complaints. "If you give any players at this standard the opportunities they will take them. Barnsley deserved to win."
It was the Reds fifth win in the last five meetings with Millwall, and this one, at a notoriously difficult venue, provided another promising indication that Heckingbottom is putting together yet another team that will eventually do Barnsley proud.
There is still a lot of work to be done, and there will be disappointments along the way, but players and fans alike can go into the international break in a very positive frame of mind.

The little pig who built his house with bricks foiled the big bad wolf, but there's another risk the fairy tale porker might not have considered.
A wood-frame house has a much better chance of survival when the Big One hits — and as a recent article in The New Yorker suggests, the Big One might (or might not) strike soon.
According to the State Office of the Insurance Commissioner, 155 companies underwrote earthquake insurance in Washington in 2013.
Of those insurers, State Farm Fire & Casualty Insurance Co. wrote the majority, with a market share approaching 30 percent and direct premiums written of $36.8 million. The company suffered no losses, and neither did the second largest insurer, Geovera.
So earthquake insurance is a moneymaker for insurance companies — until the Big One hits.
The Olympian recently spoke with Karl Newman, president and 16-year veteran of the Northwest Insurance Council, concerning earthquake insurance.
The council is an educational body sponsored by member insurance companies, and Newman explained that one of his goals "is to speak plain English to help people understand what's covered and what isn't."
As it turns out, earthquake damage typically isn't covered.
Q: Let's start with the obvious. What is earthquake insurance?
A: It might be better if we start with what it isn't. A standard homeowner's or commercial policy specifically excludes earthquake damage. Earthquake insurance is designed to fill that gap. It covers damage to homes, outbuildings and contents, and for a business, the structure and the contents.
Q: It seems that not a lot of people buy it. Why do you think that is?
A: Many times people say, "I'm not going to get earthquake insurance because it's too expensive and the deductibles are too big."
Q: How expensive is it?
A: Earthquake insurance can double what you pay for a homeowner's policy. If you're paying about $600 a year, you could pay $400 to $600 more per year, on average. The deductibles are 10 to 20 percent, depending on the company that's writing it.
Q: For those who might not know, please explain what a deductible is. Some people might think it's something they have to pay up front.
A: It's the amount of the loss that you're responsible for, deducted from the final payment.
Q: People who own homes have homeowners insurance, and they might think they're covered against any casualty. What percentage of policyholders do you think are unaware of the exclusions?
A: I'd estimate that 50 percent or more are not aware that they don't have coverage.
Q: Do you have an estimate of how many people in Washington have bought coverage?
A: Only 10 to 15 percent or homeowners and renters have earthquake insurance.
Q: Maybe they are aware and just figure the government will come in after a disaster and start handing out grants.
A: Federal assistance in most cases come in the form of low-interest loans rather than grants. That's on top of paying your mortgage, which doesn't go away. With earthquake insurance, you get paid right away and you can begin rebuilding right away.
Q: It's probably too early to see if there's any impact from The New Yorker article, but did companies see an increase in interest after recent earthquakes?
A: With the Nisqually quake, you saw an uptick in interest, but the actual (business) doesn't rise much.
Q: About brick versus wood-frame construction, how much of a difference would that be in the cost of coverage?
A: With a wood-frame house, it might double the premium. With a brick house, it could be three, four, five thousand (dollars) per year. Wood flexes and masonry shatters. Wood can take much better stress.
Q: The Nisqually quake didn't cause that much damage, and I'm guessing most people wouldn't have losses much above their deductible. Maybe it's better to just save money and hope for the best.
A: People might have been lulled by (the Nisqually quake). But to say we made it through the last earthquake and I'll be fine is a dangerous approach. A Cascadia subduction quake (such as geologists are suggesting) will be massively larger in scale. Nisqually was a relatively small quake, and away from major population centers.
If there's a disaster on the scale of what the experts quoted in The New Yorker are predicting, it will be decades before the area recovers.
Q: So what are you recommending?
A: We recommend that you shop for earthquake insurance. Companies' rates vary, as do the deductibles. Everyone who lives in an earthquake area should consider it. The risks have been known for a number of years, and rates have been relatively stable for more than 10 years.
Q: We've been reading about the importance of making an inventory of possessions and having family emergency kits ready in case it happens. Other than buying insurance, is there anything else you recommend. Is there a way to save money?
A: I retrofitted my own home in Tacoma. It cost about $1,200. It's a good investment, and it can save you money on earthquake insurance premiums. Research shows that a $2,000 to $4,000 investment to retrofit a home can save 30 to 50 percent off premiums.
Strap heavy shelves and your hot-water heater. Some older homes just sit on a foundation. In a retrofit, you bolt the frame (to the foundation).
Q: Good advice, but do you think people will follow it?
A: We have a huge risk, but earthquakes are infrequent. We as Americans tend to be optimistic. We send people to the moon, we do all kinds of things. The result of that is, "It won't happen to me." That strategy works until it doesn't.

Hey there!
This is just a monthly update on my acne scars journey, as I showed you my before after face when consuming a Vitamin C supplement. Be prepared to see my gross face.
The above picture was taken on 19th January 2018 and the bottom picture was taken on 19th February 2018. No significant differences but if you look closely, I have few acne scars that faded. And this is amazing. Wanting a quick result is risky and dangerous, so I prefer taking my time and let it heal slowly. I am truly happy because I can just stick to consuming Vitamin C and not worry whether it'll work or not because it will. This is my 2nd month on Hakubi White C Plus.
Have a good day!

And here I thought I could score a free laptop battery (brand new!).
HP is recalling laptop batteries from a couple of brands because it just might go KABLOOEY on you (via Chris Null). So if you have a HP Compaq, HP Pavilion, Compaq Presario or HP, you need to validate your battery. If it's one of the models they are recalling, congratulations, you get a new battery for free!
In the meantime, suit up.

Text: John 3:1-17
This Sunday brings to a close what is called the "Festival" half of the Church Year. This means that in the first half of the Church year, we have all the sweet festivals like Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost, and Holy Trinity. After today we don't really have anything super special until we, as Lutherans, celebrate the Reformation in October. During the first half of the Church year we generally follow a chronological series of events in Christ's life. But during the second half, the non-festival half, our Sundays are organized by theme.
Today is Trinity Sunday, a Sunday where the Church has historically set aside time to specifically treat the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Traditionally, congregations recite the Athanasian Creed this one Sunday of the year. But of course, for us, every Sunday is a Trinity Sunday. We begin each service in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Our hymns and prayers address all three persons of the Trinity. Just last week, the sermon mentioned the Holy Spirit over thirty times. This thinking is what led German Christians to be stubborn when Pope John XXII declared this Sunday Trinity Sunday in 1332 and keep the original Gospel reading, instead of switching to Matthew 28.
The original Gospel reading for this Sunday, the first after Pentecost, is from John 3. This gives us an opportunity to speak about another area of Christian doctrine that remains a mystery to many people. In the Gospel reading Jesus teaches Nicodemus about the necessity of rebirth. Jesus says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."1 But what is this being, "born again?" Why is it necessary, what is it, and how does it happen?
"You must be born again," is really a slight mistranslation. I know that there is a footnote in my Bible that says the word, ἄνωθεν, is ambiguous and could also mean "from above." Given the context, we would wager that that is the correct translation; Jesus said, "Unless one is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God."2 But Nicodemus didn't understand. He thought that Jesus meant that one must be physically born again. And so Nicodemus scoffed at the idea of an old man returning to his mother's womb to be born a second time.
Though Jesus is not saying that one must be physically born out of their mother's womb again, He is saying that rebirth is necessary. In fact He makes it a fourfold oath. He uses the word, "truly," four times. Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God." Then clarifies what He means, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."3
Jesus is dreadfully serious. Unless one is born from above, not only can he not enter the kingdom of heaven, but He can't even see it. How true that is. Unless one is born again of water and the Spirit, they can neither enter nor see the kingdom of God. And so the world misunderstands the Gospel. Instead of looking to Christ for forgiveness and renewal, many claim from Christ affirmation for behavior they are already dead-set in. The necessity of rebirth is underscored by Jesus' words, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."4
All things that are born in the natural way are tainted by the corruption of sin. Even the inmost desires of our hearts and minds are devoid of righteousness. Like Nicodemus, our natural inclination is to come to Jesus in the dark, clinging to our own good works and morality as proof of our goodness. But minds set on works and our own worthiness are minds set on the flesh, which St. Paul, says are "hostile to God." For minds set on the flesh cannot please God.5 Therefore Jesus knocks Nicodemus and us on our butts: "You must be born again."
But what does that mean, "You must be born from above?" Jesus explains in verses 14-15 of our text, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."6 To be born again, from above, means to have faith. But lest we rest on our laurels and say, "I have faith, therefore I am reborn," and stop there, we must say that to be reborn is to have a living and active faith. When you are physically born, you have a will, an understanding, and a desire to act. Thus it is also with the spiritual rebirth. We are given a new understanding, a new will, and new desires to act according to God's Word.
Before rebirth, we were all by nature children of wrath. Our thoughts were evil, our actions were evil. Even our good works were a stench to God. But the rebirth and renewal of the Holy Spirit, being again, is having faith. By faith we are made children of grace. Jesus says this faith, this rebirth is necessary for salvation. He says, "Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of heaven." So far we've seen the necessity of rebirth, and that to be born again means to have faith in the Son of Man who was lifted up for our trespasses; But how are we born again?
We are not born again by our own actions. It's not your decision or prayer that makes you reborn, but it is solely the work of the Triune God. Thus Jesus says, "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."7 This also what James says when he writes, "Of [God's] own will He brought us forth by the word of truth."8
Article V of the Augsburg Confession, one of the documents that makes us Lutheran Christians, paints exactly where rebirth, where faith, comes from. It says, "So that we may obtain this faith, the ministry of teaching the Gospel and administering the Sacraments was instituted. Through the Word and Sacraments, as through instruments, the Holy Spirit is given. He works faith, when and where it pleases God, in those who hear the good news…This happens not through our own merits, but for Christ's sake."9
To be reborn, to be born from above, means to receive the gift of faith. Without a living faith, one can neither see the kingdom of God nor enter it. So that we may receive this faith, Christ instituted the preaching of the Gospel and the Sacraments. Through these things the Holy Spirit is given. The Holy Spirit works faith in us to believe in God the Father who created all things and still takes care of them. The Holy Spirit works faith in us through preaching and the Sacraments to believe that Jesus is the Son of God who suffered and died as payment for our sins. And, the Holy Spirit calls us through the Word to believe that He is the divine Comforter who is with us in all afflictions and assures us of the grace that we have in Christ.
Jesus said with utmost seriousness, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. These are serious words, and like Nicodemus, we can be left in bewilderment by them. The biggest question that comes away from these words is, what if I don't feel reborn? The answer: believe. Believe in Jesus Christ, who was lifted up on the cross as payment for your sins, and you will be saved. Pray that the Lord would continue to beat back the old sinful nature in you. Continue to hear God's Word preached and receive Jesus' precious Body and Blood for the forgiveness of your sins. By these things, Word and Sacrament, the Holy Spirit works in faith in you and causes you to be born from above, so that you already live in the Kingdom of God here in time and will always live there, in heaven.

Tart Cherry, Candied Ginger and Chocolate Kugelhopf
Recipe and photo by Tami Ganeles Weiser
to 10 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes Resting and Rising Time: 3 hours Cook Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Kugelhopf, a traditional Germanic sweet cross between a cake and a bread, gets a French accent in this version, which is made with a brioche-style dough.
1 (¼-ounce/7-gram) packet instant yeast or active dry yeast (about 2¼ teaspoons)
¼ cup warm water, between 85°F and 95°F (see Kitchen Tips)
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
4⅓ cups (589 grams) bread flour
¾ cup (153 grams) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup almond unsweetened milk, room temperature
2 sticks (1 cup/227 grams/8 ounces/16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch pieces and refrigerated
¾ cup (about 90 grams) pitted dried tart cherries, cut in quarters
⅓ cup (about 65 grams) candied ginger, cut into ¼-inch dice
¾ cup (about 5 ounces/143 grams) dark chocolate chips or ¼-inch chunks
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- Combine the water and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix at low speed for 8 to 10 seconds until the mixture is just combined. Let stand for 4 to 5 minutes, until the mixture is foamy and frothy and bubbly.
- Meanwhile, combine the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk until incorporated.
- Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl or on a piece of parchment paper.
- Add about half the flour mixture to the stand mixer and mix at low speed until combined. Stop the machine and scrape down the side of the mixer bowl and the paddle. Switch to a dough hook.
- Add the milk and mix at low to medium-low speed until fully incorporated. Add about half the remaining flour mixture and mix at low speed until fully incorporated. Add the egg mixture and mix at low speed for until fully incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix at low speed until completely combined.
- With the mixer at medium-low speed, add the butter, piece by piece, allowing each piece to be incorporated before adding the next. This will take about 11 to 12 minutes. The dough will become slack, thinner, and much softer.
- Add the dried cherries, candied ginger and chocolate and knead at medium to medium-low speed for another 2 to 3 minutes. Scoop the dough into a lightly oiled large mixing bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Set aside and allow to rise for 2 to 2¼ hours, until it is about 1½ times the original size.
- Spray a kugelhopf pan or a (12-cup) bundt pan with nonstick baking spray . Scoop the dough into the pan, cover with a kitchen towel, and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes until it is about three-fourths of the way up the pan.
- Fifteen minutes before you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, until it has puffed up to the top, is a rich, warm brown in color, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into it reads 205°F. Remove from the oven, gently turn out the cake onto a cooling rack (see Kitchen Tips) and allow to cool completely before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. This cake will keep well wrapped, for 2 to 3 days.
Kitchen Tips
- The dough in this recipe requires some intense kneading, and is best made with a stand mixer.
- Yeast is a little living creature, and it needs special handling. You need warm water to activate it—between 85°F and 95°F—but if the water is too warm, you'll kill it and it simply won't work at all.
- Place a cooling rack or plate on top of the cake pan, holding it firmly with one hand. Slide your other hand under the bottom of the pan (with an oven mitt if necessary) and press firmly. Turn the whole thing over quickly, still holding firmly with both hands, so that the bottom of the pan faces up and let gravity and the nonstick vegetable oil spray do their work. Tap lightly if necessary to release the cake.

Nancy Kaye Pulham Coley passed away Thanksgiving morning at the age of 73.
Her unforgettable memory is continued by her daughter, Laura Knight (Travis); granddaughter, Aurelia Knight; four sisters, who she loved "one at a time": Judy Vance (Wally), Shauna Price (Richard), Tammy Struhs (Bill), and Marjean Bird (Allan); brother, David Pulham (Melana); and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family, too numerous to list but, not forgotten.
Nancy was born in Salt Lake City, UT, to Barrett Frederick and Margaret Wale Pulham. She graduated from Highland High School and earned a bachelor's degree in Business from the University of Utah.
Nancy worked for the Department of Defense, where she served at Hill Air Force Base for 26 years, but her greatest achievement ,was being a mother. Her fierce love for her daughter is profound and unmatched.
She was a woman of grace and made all who she came in contact with feel loved. She had unwavering faith and remained active in the LDS church throughout her life. She served in many callings, but found a love for the children in the ward in her final calling as nursery leader.
Nancy is loved by many, and missed by all. Family, friends, and neighbors are invited to a gathering to celebrate her life at a memorial service on Saturday, December 9, 2017, at 11 a.m. at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park in Salt Lake City.

We just got back after 38 hours of travel, feeling pooped ... But the trip was fabulous, beyond our expectations. The Delta and Deserts organization is so impressive, and the friendliness and the warmth of the people in all locations was such an important part of our enjoyment.
We totally loved Botswana, and the game drives, birding, boat trips, etc were stunning. I recorded 96 species of birds, almost all of which were identified by our guides. All our guides were wonderful, but I have to say Moses at Camp Okavango was the best guide we've ever encountered, and we've encountered some excellent ones!
Anyway, I wanted to write you BEFORE reality took over, while the glow was still fresh, even after 38 straight hours of return travel (all of which went very smoothly, by the way). We also loved our brief time in Victoria Falls, including the walking tour of the Falls and the Zambezi River cruise, which was awesome.
So ... thanks again for all your help. We had the trip of a lifetime!

Dear Suzaan,
I want to thank you for working with me this past year on helping plan such an epic adventure! We all had an amazing time and have memories that will make us smile for the rest of our lives! From the selection of the accomodations, to the restaurant recommendations and all the side excursions, you helped make our vacation one that we will cherish forever! It could not have been planned any better (minus the issues in Livingstone!). We lucked out with the weather and all of our flights were on time! And thank you for working with the other girls on their internal flights.
Tom and I talked this morning and we do know that in the near future (ok perhaps in a couple of years), we would definitely like to go to Namibia and other places (perhaps even return to Cape Town and Dulini). I hope that you are still at Southern Africa Travel since I would love to have you as an agent again! And I will recommend you and the agency to any friends thinking of an epic African adventure.
Thank you once again, and if you ever get to New York, please let us know!!
Warm Regards,

Hello Sandi,
We're back safely from Namibia. We had a wonderful time in Namibia, all the flights & arrangements went without a hitch.
Thank you for putting together such a great itinerary for us. The lodges/camps and flights were all very professionally run and managed and it was a really great vacation for the both of us.
Cheers, John

We had a wonderful holiday. The arrangements worked out really well. We did lots of things - visited some vineyards, walked with elephants at Storm River, descended into the Cango caves, walked to the Cape of Good Hope, re-visited Kirstenbosch etc etc.
The hotels were very high quality other than de Opstal which was mediocre (we recommend that you don't use it again or the Black Swan restaurant). The Bartholomeus Klip is very special – very peaceful but with the advantage of the adjacent game reserve. We walked there with the bontebok, ostriches & eland for instance.
The food and wine in the hotels was first class and the staff very friendly.

Yes, home safely but long journey, good long sleep last night!
We had a fantastic holiday, our 3rd visit now and it just keeps getting better and better.
Kwandwe was out of this world, the property, the service, the lot was awesome.
Fancourt was awesome, even the little hiccup with tee time and changing of rooms, we thoroughly enjoyed it there and didn't want to leave.
Hermanus is beautiful. Oceans Eleven is nice and in a great location.
Stellenbosch is nice, but probably prefer Franschoekk. The Oude Werf was nice, our room was at the front of hotel so was noisy, a mixture of old room with new contemporary bathroom.
SeaFive in Camps Bay is stunning. They upgraded us from a garden room to mountain view room which was great. It felt we had the whole place to ourselves.
Before we came away, we were already thinking about where to go next year...we shook hands over dinner on one of our last nights that we would be coming back to South Africa after having such a great holiday.
Posted | Review by Marianne Hawke, United Kingdom | Travelled in November 2015
We are safely back home and went back to work today, we have a saying that goes "all good things must come to an end" which really sums up how we are feeling after our wonderful holiday.
Thank you so much for all of your help, we really appreciated having somebody recommend suitable accommodation for us, they were all really good, in fact Sea Five was great. Marco and his team couldn't have done anymore for us, we felt like royalty!!!
We have had such a great time we have spent a lot of time talking about our next visit and how we might change things, so I guess that tells you what we think of your beautiful country.
Posted | Review by Kathleen Starmer, USA | Travelled in October 2015
We are finally back in the US after almost a full month out of the country. Thank you SO MUCH for putting together such an amazing collection of hotels for our South African adventure. We were absolutely blown away by the safari "tents" at Kariega, and The Residence in J'Burg was truly one of the best hotels we've ever experienced. Our only regret was not having more time to spend at Kariega, but that's just incentive to return!

Hi Monique,
Apologies for the delay-we both got caught up in work!
Upon arrival at Johannesburg it was very nice to be met by a representative and brought to check-in and security for our flight to Livingstone.
We really enjoyed our few days "chilling out" in Livingstone and we definitely needed this time as we were exhausted after the wedding. Very nice hotel, the cruise on the Zambezi was just beautiful. So glad we included this in our trip; the Victoria Falls were amazing and it was lovely to have a guide to ourselves. We went to the cheetah experience which was one of the highlights of our trip.
Onto the safari…
This was the most amazing experience of our lives. We would have stayed for a month! We were treated like royalty-gorgeous touches like having our bath filled upon arrival to a very well stocked bar and snacks. The staff were extremely friendly and we met the owners while there who are such nice people. The food was absolutely terrific. They fed us every few hours!
The safari drives were amazing-we got to see a lot while there (including the big 5, twice!), even the ranger was impressed. We felt like we were part of a family while there and I cannot recommend Savannah enough. We will definitely go back.
Cape Town:
Really nice hotel and again some nice touches, like champagne and cakes in our room on arrival. Very good location, car parking, close to lots of bars and restaurants and convenient for the tour buses. Felt a lot safer than I thought we would and we had no problems at all.
We drove from Cape Town down to the Cape of Good Hope and onto Hermanus. I wouldn't really recommend staying for more than one night here. The guest house wasn't great and there didn't seem to be anything to do other than whale watching which was terrific. The food in the guest house was pretty awful, we were served raw scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Such a beautiful end to our honeymoon. The hotel was just gorgeous, and again we were upgraded as we were on honeymoon. Really friendly staff and lovely location in the centre of the town, close to lots of vineyards! Dinner in The Tasting Room was the perfect end to our honeymoon…it was spectacular!
We had a really amazing time and totally switched off from the real world!Thank you so much for your help, everything was so well organised..transfers, flights all went so smoothly. We will be recommending you to all our engaged friends!!

We had a great holiday & excellent organising by Monique.
Kruger & Sabi Sands safaris were the highlight. We also appeared to get the best rooms at the properties: very appreciated!
Thanks for great holidays!
Posted | Review by Beth & Peter Bacos, United States | Travelled in July 2015
The trip was the best trip we have ever taken. We can't wait to go back!
I would not ever stay at Camp Moremi again though, as there were several cape buffalo that took up residence at the camp and we had to run from them with our guide escort in the dark on our first night there. They terrorized us for our entire stay. We were never able to go to our tent alone even during the day as they were hanging out around our tent :( It was unsettling to say the least. Also showers provided no privacy. That is something unsettling as well.
Chobe Lodge was perfection. Victoria Falls Hotel was beautiful and we loved it, but food was very expensive and not many vegetarian options.
All in all it was an amazing trip!
Thanks so much for all your help!

I love a good ikat print. Ikat for those of you who may not know is created using a resist dyeing technique that uses binded fabric [similar to tie-dyeing]. Ikat is often translated "to bind". Ikat prints are popping up everywhere and they can add a global feel to your home. Here are my 7 favorite ikat prints.
[one: aphro chic shop | two: susy jack | three: 7100 islands | four: c wonder | five: artisan gems boutique | six: apartment therapy | seven: anthropologie ]
