From the radiant ochre of the Red Centre to the shimmering blues and greens of the tropical Top End, Australia's Northern Territory offers a staggering palette of colors, climates and terrains ripe for adventure. When you reserve your vacation with us, we'll scour the entire state for the most fascinating perspectives, whether it be rambling amidst sculpted cliffs, skimming saltwater floodplains or even ascending into the clouds as the dramatic outback unfurls before you.
Whether you're craving the thrill of hiking bush trails or prefer a more leisurely pace to experience the outdoors, we can arrange expertly guided treks within the Northern Territory suited to every level of explorer.
From the surrounding blue waters of Darwin Harbour, cascading waterfalls and river-rippled national parks — featuring the occasional crocodile — the Northern Territory offers endless aquatic pursuits.
A carpet of terracotta earth sprawls before Uluru, or Ayers Rock, an iconic sandstone monolith that lies at the center of sacred Aboriginal creation stories. Take a sunrise walk to behold the fiery form illuminated, ride on camelback through the surrounding desert sands or enjoy a starlit dinner at its foot — but the ultimate vantage point is from above. Approach the World-Heritage listed site in a helicopter and be amazed by the view of this majestic formation rising from the desert landscape.

Central Reach Workshop Summary now available
In December, the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability solicited public input on how to improve and enhance the Willamette River area in downtown Portland. Staff summarized the ideas generated over the two-day workshop in a report, which includes several concept maps.
Download the Willamette River Central Reach Workshop Summary Report
At the workshop, more than 70 participants discussed how to ensure a robust river economy, environmentally healthy river and vibrant waterfront districts along the Willamette River in the Central City. In addition to a written summary of the event and comments received, the report contains three illustrations representing emerging themes from the each topic area, such as denoting major riverfront activity hubs, human access to/in the river with habitat areas, and commercial and recreational boat mooring locations.
Next Steps
Project staff will present the report and results of the Central Reach Workshop at both the West Quadrant and SE Quadrant Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) meetings, on January 21 and March 6, respectively. An Urban Design Concept for the Willamette River Central Reach that builds on many sources including workshop results will also be presented to the West Quadrant SAC.
Other Opportunities to Comment
A draft urban design concept plan map for the Central Reach will be posted on the Central City 2035 (CC2035) website in late January. It will depict overarching and specific place-based aspirations for the central riverfront area. This concept will be a guide for the future and for the development of implementing policies and strategies and regulations related to the Central Reach and the Central City overall. Comments on the concept plan may be given at the SAC meetings or through written comments to Debbie Bischoff at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This information is currently being used to inform draft policies and action items for Westside neighborhoods that abut the river. Public review opportunities for the West Quadrant policies will be available in the next few months. The Central Reach Working Group (CRWG), which will continue meeting in the next few months, is an open-membership group and anyone can attend and comment on the draft concept at the CRWG meetings or contact Debbie Bischoff at firstname.lastname@example.com or 503-823-6946.

Unique, individual and practical – Stacked is a modular shelving system which has been designed by JDS architects for Muuto. Stacked is available in different colours. Inside of each colour, Muuto offers three differently sized modules that can be combined with each other for your individual shelf.
According to the designer Julien De Smedt, while developing Stacked, it was an aim to build a generalist and specific shelving system at the same time. Behind that hides the problem that common shelves can only be cut oriented by their future inventory (folders for example), of offer compartments for "everything and nothing".
Creative shelving system for different demands
The storage compartments from Stacked were therefore built in different sizes so that the most different accessories would find a place inside of it, combining colours and other sized compartments. An exclusive and practical shelving system came out which enables the storage of differently efficient things. A highlight among your furniture.
The modules of the white Stacked shelving system from Muuto are available with or without back walls. Moreover there is a podium available additionally to every stacked-series in a suitable colour, in order to raise the single stacked components with it to create e.g. a sideboard.

In our work, we all find our preferred tools and we develop efficient (hopefully) ways to use them. Often that process identifies many tool features and analysis capabilities that an entire community of professionals can profitably use. Please share your stories about the multifamily energy assessment tools that you use. Tell the group what you like and don't like about these tools. Also tell the group about the analysis capabilities that are needed and you would like to see made available.
Views: 585
Multifamily efficiency analytical tools should be built in modules to accomodate vast differences in building types and the split interests in efficiency investments - as well as all the other characteristics like size, shape, fuels, distributions, outside walls, etc etc. If you then select the modules properly, the interactive/cumulative impacts of bundled measures can be quite accurately calculated. The problem is we hasten to get our calculations (assumptions, algorithms, formulas) into a simulation program, in code, and give up the flexibility and customization required to easily provide investment-quality cost and savings calculations. The key is, as always, really granular initial analytics of the energy status quo of the building, especially the most sophisticated comparative intensities and end-use profiles we can develop. My multifamily software is an excel workbook with lots of tabs, and it can be set up for a whole new market in a day and for any particular building from a NYC high rise on steam to a suburban yuppie rental complex in about an hour. It did take me 37 years to develop....
One "tool" that is pretty useful when working with a client that has numerous properties is to benchmark the buildings. There are a couple online tools that allow you to put in some basic building information and utility bill information and then see how those properties are performing compared to each other. This is especially helpful if the client isn't quite ready to commit to having all of their buildings audited. You can pinpoint the worst performing ones and target them first.
Don't have any tools at the moment, but I am responding to this so I can get notices in the future from others posting to this Thread.
Always looking for new "tools" to analyze a property, especially if they are helpful in valuing the property, or the EE benefits to the property.
Along with another appraiser, I have developed several mathematical tools to analyze the reduction in energy costs from EE upgrades and forcast the increase in value that should occur. Right now, they pertain to SFRs, but I plan to adapt them to multifamily in the near furture.
RE: the post from Sean Shanley above. Sean, would you please post the URL for the tool that you describe in your post?
John C. Carlson
Diamond Bar, CA
Everyone should make a go of PM (Portfolio Manager) for a variety of MF property types so we can start getting some consistency in benchmarking ('initial energy analytics'), at least. In addition, since I started doing multifamily energy audits in the 1970's I have believed only trained engineers should be doing properties > 20 units, certainly any facility with a single central heating or HVAC system. Multifamily expertise is not linear with residential energy auditing, it really much more sophisticated than what the BPI MF module (for example) provides.
Again, the best tools, in modules, should be assembled through traditional education / licensing organizations like technical schools or engineering-in-training or commercial-grade HVAC contractor organizations. Lots of unions are developing this level of continuing education.
I am familiar with most MF software tools, contact me directly if you like, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tom--My understanding is that Portfolio Manager isn't planning on having benchmarks for MF properties for several years at least. Do you know otherwise? In the meantime, there are several companies that provide benchmarks off of "real-time" data, which seems to me to be a bit more accurate than the way Portfolio Manager does them. Of course, this comes with a cost, unlike Portfolio Manager.
Yeah, the key benchmark analytics are some intensity numbers - no matter who's providing them. PM works for generating comparative intensities (kbtu/ft2) which is all you need , internally at least. HUD and PM and everybody else defers to those shaky intensities available regionally from EIA. As per my first post, you can readily adjust benchmark intensities for your market as you build your portfolio and keep checking against the national (EIA) standards. You can set PM up for your customers as a campus and then use dormitories.
What kind of volume of MF work are you guys doing?
We have used HUD's energy benchmark tool on over 100 Wx buildings, and it's a reasonable place to start. It's not an analytical tool. But as a first cut, it may help focus your attention on dogs, and leave you less likely to waste your time on buildings that are doing about as well as can be expected.
Get info and find links at:
It's most useful on buildings that are most like the typical HUD/PHA profile -- mid-rise, built in the 60s and 70s, master-metered for all energy use. The more "your" building varies from that profile, the more you can get pretty funky results.
Beyond that, I do mostly Wx work, and DOE says we have to use TREAT or EA-QUIP. I know TREAT best, and it's generally pretty solid. There are some very particular blind spots -- you can't evaluate insulating ONLY the plumbing that's in the mechanical room or the attic, for example. Have to use a work-around for that.
Training on MF Blower Door Testing
I am doing a hands-on three day training, April 12 - 14, 2012 in Aurora, Illinois. It is intended to teach protocols for testing multifamily buildings, how to assess a building, to plan efficient testing, the mechanics of using all major available testing systems, and acquiring & analyzing data. While the focus will be on residential buildings, the techniques and analysis methods involved are directly applicable to all types of conditioned buildings of less than 2 million cubic feet in volume. Participants will attend two days of classroom training and one day of field work performing multiple tests in an apartment building. As a result of this training you will be able to identify the appropriate test protocols for building configurations, determine appropriate test mechanics based on building systems, analyze blower door data from test procedures, identify problems, understand infiltration theory and calculate energy loss.
Wabonsee Community College in Aurora is offering the course. Insight Property Services is doing all the legwork (Thanks, Joe!!) For more info, see http://insightpropertyservicesinc.com Or, e-mail me...

Bridgeport venue makes history with show for autistic kids
A 2007 children's book by actress Julianne Moore -- "Freckleface Strawberry" -- inspired a hit 2010 off-Broadway musical that has been produced all over the country and as far afield as Australia.
The story of a girl who hates her red hair and freckles, but who learns that everyone struggles with a feeling of being "different," has struck a chord both as a book and a stage show.
Now "Freckleface Strawberry -- The Musical" is making history in Connecticut by becoming the first play in the state to have a special Sensory Sensitive Performance for autistic children after it opens at Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 23.
"I was so delighted to hear about it," the Oscar-nominated actress and author said in a phone interview last week. "It's great for the families and will be a real opportunity for the kids.
"I wrote it when my son was 7, which is when a child still acutely feels different. For me it was red hair and freckles, which I still don't like," Moore added, with a laugh. "But it's one of those things you care about less as you get older and have friends, a husband, a family. Not liking your freckles goes to the bottom of the list."
The cabaret's executive producer Hugh Hallinan said the special Sunday, March 3, presentation came about organically -- after a performance of a children's Christmas show that was attended by Gary Kupper, the composer and co-book writer of "Freckleface," who is directing the Bridgeport production.
"I wanted him to experience one of our school matinees first hand, and when we entered the theater it became clear there were a lot of special needs kids (in the audience) and that became very distracting for the other kids," Hallinan recalled.
When he realized that there was a group of 70 autistic children in the house from a local school "that got the ball rolling."
Hallinan knew that a number of Broadway musicals had been hosting matinees for special needs kids. With such a large group attending one of his shows, he realized the time had come to test the waters for a Sensory Sensitive Performance.
"My first concern was that kids who didn't have disabilities were getting distracted ... but I wanted to do something special for those other kids," he said. The theater reached out to Christine Peck, an Oxford psychologist at Cooperative Educational Services in Trumbull, the school that had booked the group sales for the Christmas show matinee.
"The importance of this (matinee) is that the theater is going a long way in trying to understand the needs of children with autism," Peck said in an interview on Tuesday.
The psychologist explained some of the challenges faced by autistic children at a live performance. "Autism brings sensory sensivity (which can cause) an over response to lights, sounds, movements ... Children may walk around or jump up and down ... issues that make it hard for them to attend a show," she said.
Peck is thrilled that the Bridgeport venue is breaking new ground in "staging a performance around these needs, making it comfortable for the audience members."
The psychologist is part of a group at the Trumbull school that looks for fun outings with a support team made up of parents and other family members.
Peck also is on the board of directors of the New England Ballet, where she has helped to produce a special annual event, "an adaptive performance designed to introduce (autistic) children to the ballet."
"It's all about how to integrate (our students) into the community," Peck said of the work she does. "This show will be a fabulous supplement to that."
The director and co-author of the show, Gary Kupper, said he is preparing his cast for this "one of a kind" performance.
"It's all about adjusting the sound and the tone of the performance. We're doing away with the intermission. It's a matter of getting as much information as possible ... so that the audience feels comfortable," he said.
Kupper believes Moore's book, and the show adapted from it, reinforce what the cabaret is trying to do with this new theatrical concept.
"Her book speaks to children who feel different ... basically saying that everyone is different in some way ... I think (the special performance) will amplify that message in real life," he said.

Jackie Chan says his serious role in "The Karate Kid" was a pleasant break from his usual action-comedy parts.
Chan's turn as the stern Mr. Han, the Mr. Miyagi character in the remake of the '80s hit, has won praise from reviewers, including The Associated Press.

He told reporters in Beijing on Wednesday that such parts are rarely offered to him in the U.S., where audiences are more used to seeing him in jokey, lighthearted roles in films such as the "Rush Hour" series.
"I'm very happy to take on a different role. It's not just a comedy, but a serious role," Chan said.

Sony's new version of 1984's "The Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend with a whopping million, according to studio estimates. Costing just million to make, the film far exceeded the studio's expectations.
Will Smith, whose 12-year-old son Jaden stars in the movie, said he hopes that success will extend to China, where the film opens nationwide on Tuesday.
"I'm very excited about how well the movie did in the U.S. and I hope the rest of the world will have the same reaction," said Smith, who served as an executive producer on the film alongside wife Jada.

Smith flew to China to promote the film's Chinese release with Chan and said the joint Chinese-U.S. production shot in Beijing could pave the way for more.
"This collaboration will speak loudly. It's truly a collaboration of two very different nations," Smith said.

Rating employee performance is one of the key components in the performance management process. Supervisors must develop and demonstrate the ability to make fair assessments of their subordinates' performance. According to the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) Federal Competency Assessment Tool - Management (FCAT- M), the assessments should be based on "observable behaviors, performance feedback, and demonstrated results." Supervisors must learn how to establish performance plans with measurable results that are conducive to differentiating performance.
First and foremost, supervisors need to become experts in establishing performance plans that allow them to make meaningful distinctions in levels of performance. They should ensure that the elements and standards established in the performance plan clearly explain what the employee needs to accomplish as well as how well the employee must accomplish it. The plan should align with the work unit's goals, which in turn align with other organizational goals, so that the employee understands how his/her performance impacts the agency's mission. Also, supervisors should encourage the employee to be involved in developing the performance plan, which helps the employee know what results are expected and strengthens commitment to achieve success.
According to Howard Risher and Charles H. Fay in the report, "Managing for Better Performance: Enhancing Federal Performance Management Practices," supervisors should "ensure that during planning discussions with employees, each individual understands what's expected, what it will take to be rated as outstanding, and what level of performance will be unacceptable." By clearly defining what is expected at different levels of performance, supervisors will be able to make distinctions in performance when rating employees at the end of the appraisal period.
Supervisors must establish performance standards that clearly express what is expected of the employee. Governmentwide regulations require performance standards written at the Fully Successful level for critical elements and allow them to be established at other levels. Supervisors must clearly define what is expected of fully successful performers and must follow any specific policies of their agency as they set performance standards. Generally, when establishing the Fully Successful standard supervisors should describe a range of acceptable performance (e.g., 3-5 articles are written). Performance that exceeds the top of that range would be appraised at a level above Fully Successful, and performance below the bottom of that range would be appraised at a level below Fully Successful (e.g., Minimally Successful or Unacceptable). Also, defining a level above Fully Successful is a good management practice because it allows supervisors to emphasize the high performance that is valued by the organization and to easily identify the top performers. Having a level above Fully Successful provides employees a challenging target to meet and a clear understanding of what is high performance.
In addition, when developing performance plans supervisors should ask themselves the following questions found in OPM's Handbook for Measuring Employee Performance:
Clear performance plans with measurable results enable supervisors to observe and track performance and make final judgments that are credible and defensible. Supervisors should be able to identify employees who are poor performers as well as those who stand above the norm.
Risher and Fay stated, "Managers need to be able to make tough but honest decisions about the performance of their employees." They describe the following steps that supervisors can take when appraising performance at the end of the appraisal period:
The Merit Systems Protection Board's report, "Designing an Effective Pay for Performance Compensation System," highlights that "learning how to fairly rate employee performance remains one of the most critical skills for supervisors." The report describes the following common rating pitfalls that could impede supervisors from making meaningful distinctions in performance:
The following tips for evaluating and differentiating performance can help supervisors prevent those universal rating tendencies:
According to the results of OPM's 2006 Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS), 64% of respondents agreed that "My performance appraisal is a fair reflection of my performance." Fifty-six percent agreed that "Discussions with my supervisor/team leader about my performance are worthwhile." Both questions experienced a slight decline from the 2004 survey, where they scored 66% and 58% respectively.
Agencies are beginning to hold supervisors accountable for the performance management of subordinates in their own performance plans. Supervisors are expected to align subordinate performance plans with organizational goals and rigorously appraise their subordinates. Supervisors need to develop their "people skills" to complete these critical performance management tasks.
How can supervisors develop the skills necessary to identify top, average, and poor performers?
When a supervisor sits down with pen in hand to assign the rating of record, it should be very easy for him/her to mark the ratings on the performance appraisal form. The process should result in a realistic appraisal of performance if the supervisor has paid special attention up front to setting goals, monitoring performance, and reinforcing goal achievement. The final rating of record should come as no surprise to anyone.

iPhone 3GS Release Prompts 400% Jump in YouTube Uploads
Mobile uploads to YouTube jumped 400 percent last Friday, the day that Apple released its iPhone 3GS. In the last six months, meanwhile, the Google-owned video site has seen mobile uploads increase by 1,700 percent, the company said in a blog post.
"This growth represents three things coming together: new video-enabled phones on the market, improvements to the upload flow when you post a video to YouTube from your phone, and a new feature on YouTube that allows your videos to be quickly and effortlessly shared through your social networks," YouTube wrote.
To take advantage of its increased uploads, YouTube issued a challenge to video creators -- make your video go viral through social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter and YouTube will feature it on its homepage. Just upload your video with the "mobiletest" tag, share it with friends, and Tweet the link to @youtube.
"We'll give you one week to spread your test video far and wide, after which we'll take a look at the most popular clips and feature a few on our homepage in a special "mobile upload" edition of our Spotlight Video," YouTube said.
Also today, YouTube announced that it is rolling out the updated version of its channel design to all new users. All existing channels will roll over to the new version by July 15.

New Michael Jackson molestation accusations surface
Choreographer Wade Robson says Michael Jackson molested him as a child, and wants money from the late singer's estate, according to TMZ.
Robson met Jackson at age 5 and the pair developed a friendship that lasted for years. By the time Robson was 7, he was going for sleepovers at Neverland Ranch and other Jackson homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. TMZ said the sleepovers continued until Robson was 14.
Robson testified in Jackson's 2005 molestation trial and denied Jackson ever sexually abused him.
Robson's lawyer filed legal documents on May 1, asking the judge in Jackson's estate case to allow him to file a late creditor's claim. The documents are "for childhood sexual abuse." The documents were filed under seal, meaning they aren't available to the public. But TMZ has sources who reportedly said they specifically outline the alleged abuse.
Robson's lawyer also supposedly mentioned a psychiatrist who treated Robson.
The website said, during Jackson molestation trial, his former housekeeper Blanca Francia testified she witnessed Jackson in the shower with Robson when the boy was 8 or 9 years old.
Robson, 30, has become a big name choreographer who has worked with Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Usher and Pink, and others. He has also appeared on "So You Think You Can Dance."
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for Jackson's estate, told TMZ "Mr. Robson's claim is outrageous and pathetic. This is a young man who has testified at least twice under oath over the past 20 years and said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson never did anything inappropriate to him or with him. Now, nearly four years after Michael has passed, this sad and less than credible claim has been made."
Sources connected with the case supposedly told the website Robson says he suffered from "repressed memory," which would explain why he didn't file his creditor's claim earlier.

19 years ago more heads of states than ever came together in Rio de Janeiro for what was termed the Earth Summit. They agreed on a few sensible things, such as that "the right to development must be fulfilled so as to equitably meet developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations" or that "states shall enact effective environmental legislation" (see here). The language is typical of bureaucrats. But the message is pretty good.
Exactly one year from today, governments will meet in Rio again to mark the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit. Few heads of states that were present in 1992 will attend when governments meet from June 4th to 6th 2012 for Rio+20. And many will be happy not to be there. That way, they can avoid admitting that they utterly failed to deliver what they promised. In 1992, for example, governments agreed the UN Climate Convention, which states that the: "ultimate objective of the Convention ... is to achieve ... stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". If they had meant it, of course, we would have stopped the relentless rise in climate damaging emissions long ago. Instead, as you probably read, 2010 was the worst year ever in terms of humanity´s impact on the fragile climate we depend on.
There was plenty wrong with what governments agreed in detail in 1992. They endorsed nuclear power, for example. Still, 1992, for those of us old enough to remember it, often seems like the proverbial good old days. At least then, unlike in Copenhagen in 2009, governments could agree. At least then, we could be hopeful that the Earth Summit would be truly a turn around moment. Shortly after the end of the Cold War, many believed that governments would finally be ready to move the billions that they spent on arms during the Cold War on solving the real problems of the world: poverty, disease, environmental destruction. That did not happen. Today, we still spend around 1600 billions on arms every year. So will "Rio+20" be worth anything? Will it deliver for people and the planet?
So far, the official preparations do not give much ground for hope. Governments are arguing over terms like the "green economy" rather than getting on with what is needed, such as delivering an energy revolution or ending deforstation. In Brazil, the host nation, deforestation is rising and forest protections are under threat rather than being extended. President Dilma Roussef needs to act to protect the integrity of Brazil´s forst code (as my colleague Paulo Adario explains eloquently here). Otherwise, with brutal irony, the current increase in deforestation will continue, just as the world descends on Rio for another Earth Summit.
No question, there is plenty the Earth Summit 2012 could - and should - achieve. We have our demands ready (see here for a short summary and here for a longer statement). Politics being politics, though, June 2012 is, realitically, not a great moment for major advances to be made. While one significant change since 1992 is that powers such as China, Brazil, India or South Africa - to name just a few - are much more powerful, it´s still difficult to make global progress on fundamental matters such as a fair and green economy without the United States. In June 2012, however, the United States will be busy with the looming presidential election. Obama - who has failed to lead on climate change so far at the global level - will be loath to agree to anything that his Republican opponents may criticize in the election, let alone something progressive. That´s sad, wrong and should be different. But it´s likely how things will be.
But likely does not mean certain, of course. Who would have thought one year ago, that we would see a conservative government in Germany abandon nuclear power, for example? If we can learn anything from the Fukushima tragedy, it is that politics is never linear, and never entirely predictable. There are moments when real change is possible.
And there are some concrete steps that could be agreed upon at Rio. The vast high seas, for example, could finally get the legal protection they deserve (a small step in that direction was taken in New York this week). Governments could create a true global institution that can protect the environment and enforce environmental rules. Governments could commit to zero deforstation by 2020 - with the host Brazil reversing the current trends and leading the way.
May be in June 2012 the global winds of change will be such, that global steps forward for the environment and people will be possible. It´s not exactly likely. But it´s worth fighting for. We at Greenpeace will be ready to hold governments accountable for their failures, to propose sensible ways forward and to push for the best deal possible for people and the planet. As Bob Hunter, one of Greenpeace´s founders, was fond of saying: "Big change looks impossible when you start, and inevitable when you finish." Such may it soon be with the energy revolution, zero deforestation and protected high seas.

Active Remedy Ltd. has been primarily established to address the environmental problems related to the imbalances of Earths' Fresh Water and Cooling Systems. Our purpose is to gain a greater understanding of these problems and to offer a potential solution for resolving them. This potential solution is intended as a Global Remedy, to help mitigate the effects of disasters brought about by 'Climate Change' and to help bring about and safeguard a long‐term sustainable future for all life on Earth.
In 1992 at the United Nations Conference on the 'Environment and Development' it was agreed that the protection of the environment and social and economic development are fundamental to sustainable development and that long-term sustainability is dependent upon the health of Earth's natural environments. When considering long-term sustainability, Earth's fresh water system is one of the most important issues that need to be addressed. This is because fresh water is fundamental for all life regardless of species, culture or economic status. The fresh water system is naturally a regenerating system and given the right conditions and ingredients, it can provide enough water for all, continuously.In considering Earth's Fresh Water System, it is vital to think about Mountain Regions.
"Mountain regions cover approximately 25% of the Earths' land surface and source most of the Earths' fresh water repositories" (U.N General Assembly 29/9/05).
"They are the primary sources for the Earth's supply of fresh water. They provide critical
storage of fresh water, stored in the form of ice and snow and in lakes, wetlands and reservoirs. This water is later released, providing critical flows to rivers and streams. Many streams and rivers would cease to flow entirely if their headwaters did not supply this delayed flow. Such valuable storage of fresh water is vital for all life on Earth. All of the world's rivers originate in the Mountains and flow to the oceans, sustaining the life of all beings, in all ways of life here on Earth." (United Nations, Agenda 21,1992)
Great rivers such as the Ganges, which is sourced up in the high Himalayas, provides the fresh water for millions of beings. If its source waters dry up with the melting of its glacier, millions in India will die. It has also been proven that the ice and snow on the high Himalayas regulate the climate for the entire Northern hemisphere. Hence wherever we live in the Northern hemisphere the great glaciers of the Himalayas affect our environments. Likewise the Andes affects the Southern hemisphere. These glaciers are melting and not being replenished as fast as they should be. We all therefore need to pay some attention to this situation for the well being of all our families and all life on Earth.
In mountain regions cloud forests are particularly valuable for their capture of water that is combed from mists and moving clouds. They are also of immense importance in maintaining a steady supply of fresh water to all the lowlands and downstream areas (Hamilton, L.S. 1996). These high altitude forests, through the action of precipitation and transpiration, are also responsible for the creation of mountain snow (Bandyopadhyay, J. 1995).
Precipitation is the process by which water molecules (H₂O) in the air form rain and snow and fall to Earth. This occurs in relation to a combination of different factors, particularly when plants and trees are present, especially deciduous species. Deciduous trees such as oak release large amounts of a powerful hydrocarbon, known as isoprene into the atmosphere. When released over natural indigenous forests, isoprene breaks down into a compound called dihydroxypoxide. This is very reactive and forms multitudes of bio-aerosols. These act like a vacuum cleaner of the atmosphere and are an essential factor in cloud formation (F. Paulot, J. D. Crounse, H. G. Kjaergaard, A. Kürten, J. M. St. Clair, J. H. Seinfeld, P. O. Wennberg, 'Unexpected epoxide formation in the gas-phase photooxidation of isoprene', Science 325, 730-733 (2009).
Another factor in precipitation is known as ice nucleation, whereby bacteria produced by plants and which live on the leaves of plants are blown into the atmosphere. These form the nuclei seeds around which ice crystals form. Snow and most rain begins with the formation of ice in clouds (C.E. Morris, D.G. Georga Kopoulos, D.C. Sands).
As mountain forests disappear there is less precipitation and transpiration, hence less snow is made, land drains more quickly and soil temperatures rise.
"Despite all of the great benefits that mountain forests provide they have been disappearing at a startling rate in the last decade." (Bishkek, Global Mountain Summit, 2002)
According to a group called Mountain Forum only 25% of the Earth's indigenous mountain forest is still intact. This implies that 75% is missing. This is proving to be very dangerous to global stability and undermines all long-term sustainability and development. It is an enormous loss and surely adds to the problems of global warming; considering that these forests are the natural mechanism, which would normally be making the mountain snows. Mountain snows are important for keeping Earth's climates regular. Nowadays there is an enormous reduction in mountain snows and glaciers worldwide. This is highly exacerbating the problems of 'Global Warming'. These snows normally act like a mirror reflecting certain solar radiation. As they melt, the mirror thins and more solar rays penetrate through to Earth's Polar regions,, thus increasing the heat on Earth and threatening many with raised water levels. Also, when this ice melts, it increases the quantity of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Water vapor (H₂O) is a very powerful greenhouse gas, which normally stays in the atmosphere for no more than nine days. However if it is not brought to Earth through precipitation, it rises into the upper atmosphere and increases the problems of the green-house effect and Global Warming (Santer 2007). To reduce this problem and to stop it from escalating, certain indigenous, high precipitating, fast growing plants need to be planted throughout mountain regions as soon as possible,
The stability of Earth's rivers and water tables depends upon maintaining the integrity of watersheds. These, in turn, depend upon the healthy biodiversity of the high altitude forests. It has been recognized that the protective function of stable forest cover is vital for the safeguarding of mountainous settlements and infrastructure (U.N 1995). The root systems of Indigenous mountain forests are also responsible for channeling fresh water into the underground aquifers and water tables. If they are not present this necessary action cannot take place and springs and wells thousands of kilometers distant from them dry up and disappear.
Nowadays with so many of these great mountain region forests seriously depleted and still being cut, we are losing precious soils, as without them, there is nothing to protect the mountain slopes from erosion.Great devastation occurs as the streams and rivers fill with rocks and silt and flood the lands below. This causes massive flooding in some areas and extreme drought in others. This situation threatens all sustainable development and hence all of life on Earth. Fresh waters from rivers finally feed into and clean the oceans. Without a steady flow of clean fresh water the oceans become too high in salts and become too imbalanced to adequately maintain marine life.
This is a global problem that affects all life, so it needs to be addressed and remedied without much further delay. Any action that is taken needs to involve all levels of society. Co-operation between groups is necessary to enable the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of an endeavor of this magnitude and importance. Thus it needs to involve governments, scientists and equally importantly, the local people and rural grass-root communities. The involvement of mountain communities is absolutely fundamental. Therefore, the methods used to address this critical situation needs to fit with the requirements and traditions of these different social groups.
In consideration of this we have looked at how these communities have traditionally preserved their environments through cultural and religious practices. One of these, that has proven to be particularly effective is that of designating specific areas as Sacred Groves. Traditionally these groves have been created and protected by the local communities and have become sites where religious and cultural activities take place. Well-preserved Sacred Groves are storehouses of valuable biodiversity. Many of the plant species found in them have great medicinal, land restorative and economic value. Sacred groves can benefit local agriculture by preserving a habitat for birds that control insect outbreaks in adjacent crop fields and may also serve as seed banks for locally adapted crop varieties and medicinal plants. Even small groves can be surprisingly effective in conserving biodiversity (Warren and Pinkston 1998). This has proved to be a well-tried and tested method over thousands of years all across the world and provides valuable traditional wisdom, which could be utilized to help solve present environmental problems and potentially make long term sustainable development realizable.
Sacred Groves provide a continued reminder that human cultures and biodiversity have evolved together and that encouragement of such a link is likely to be a key element in an ecologically and socially secure and long-term sustainable future.
"A scientific understanding of the Sacred Groves would be significantly important for designing strategies for rehabilitation of degraded landscapes, involving local people's participation, and training for promotion of traditional and social norms"(Gadgil and Berkes, 1991)
It is possible that the tradition of Sacred Groves could be utilized as a method of land reclamation and regeneration throughout mountain regions. It is a method, which is still in use and accepted by traditional mountain communities and could potentially be adopted by many other communities. This would involve the creation of new Sacred Groves and the preservation and restoration of existing ones. It could provide a way of linking mountain communities throughout large areas of mountainous regions and even the world. Also because it is quite a flexible tradition it can be easily adapted to the requirements of individual communities (i.e. in non religious areas these Groves can be designated as community 'Peace Gardens'). Green Corridors could be the means by which the groves are linked and hence biodiversity is able to spread. They would be the areas of land running between the groves and communities. In this land useful medicinal plants and vegetation can be planted for cottage industry. This will provide resources and so education for the communities. Thus it will naturally provide short-term and long-term benefits and motivate long-term sustainable conservation. We recommend that the management of these Green Corridors is linked with the local schools and Healthcare clinics so that the resources will be beneficial to the whole community.
We recommend establishing new Sacred Groves and helping to preserve existing forests and Groves as community medicinal plant projects. It is vital that this is done using local indigenous medicinal plants such as Oak, Cedrus Deodar, Tulsi, Peepal, Yew, Birch, Walnut, Vetiver, some of the legume family and many others, according to the particular area. Many of these medicinal plants have beneficial properties for land conservation. By using a combination of methods ranging from local traditional knowledge, forest garden, companion planting and permaculture techniques as a way of establishing high altitude forests fast, it might still be possible to rebalance Earths' fresh water and cooling systems. This could conceivably work as a global environmental restoration and conservation program.
This Remedy offers a means by which countries of the world can take effective action to regenerate their own unique Eco-systems and prevent further breakdown and inevitable collapse. This method can be adapted for different environmental and cultural needs. Here is a way for activating and implementing the millennium goals for Long-term Environmental Sustainable Development made by the U.N governments at Earth Summits. Because it is a method, which is so interrelated with both the ancient and present day traditions of indigenous communities, it could be a method that spreads fast and easily, without the normal resistance that many conservational efforts so often come up against. It could be a model for global environmental action. With local mountain people working together, supported by others around the world, fast mountain regeneration is potentially possible. It is very important that the connecting of different areas of land, communities, cultures and knowledge systems takes place. This is because isolated patches of biodiversity and local preservation do not have a very large environmental impact on a global scale. They also do not have real long‐term sustainability, when considering the present fragility of Earths' fresh water and cooling systems. The regeneration of high altitude forests needs to take place in a connected manner, both locally and globally, to be truly effective in this issue.
Sometimes it is important to not only ask the question:
"What can be made from a venture?" but also "What can be saved?" In these circumstances there is much to be saved. Something needs doing swiftly and we do not have time for further long discussions and deliberations. Research shows that the way to potentially do this lies in the reforestation of high altitude regions promptly. Unless a substantial percentage of mountain forests can be restored globally, fresh waters could become so scarce, as to make life on Earth almost impossible. To conserve the natural environments and species including our own, existing on Earth, fresh water is vital. It has already been agreed by world governments that high levels of funding, investment and greater support are required in mountain areas. This is essential for the survival of both highland and lowland communities (U.N,General Assembly, 29 September 2005).
"It would be of benefit for downstream communities to invest in mountain region rehabilitation, as, through watershed protection, they provide direct economic benefits and ensure necessary environmental services such as protecting fresh water supplies." (Bishkek, Global Mountain Summit, 2002).
The system of payment for environmental services (PES) is already being explored for protection of watersheds in the Andean regions of Peru (Martínez de Anguita et al., 2006) and in N. America. This way protection of Earth's environments through empowering mountain communities and true sustainable development is potentially still possible. Recognizing that mixed indigenous mountain forests and biodiversity are fundamental components for stabilizing the Global Climate and Fresh Water Systems, we have outlined a potential restoration method that could be used throughout mountain regions globally.
We believe that if Earths' mountain regions can be reforested by 25% globally within 30 years that the natural balance of these systems can be restored. This will potentially enable the natural systems to re-balance themselves and life on Earth to continue for many thousands of years. Due to rapidly deteriorating environmental conditions on Earth, and due to the fragility of mountain regions, it is urgent that an interconnected method is applied as soon as possible if there is to be any possibility of effectiveness and success. Therefore a Feasibility Study, showing the effectiveness of this method, needs to be conducted imminently. It is our wish and intention to establish a Feasibility Study to demonstrate how this might be achieved.
This Feasibility Study is intended to create a blue print model, which can demonstrate a method for fast indigenous mountain forest regeneration globally. To effectively do this, it is vital that remaining mountain forests are protected and sustained and that we restore as much as we can of their natural biodiversity as fast as possible. In order for this Feasibility Study to demonstrate fast growth of indigenous forest over mixed and varied terrain, it needs to take place over a substantially large area (approximately100killometers).
Because it would be virtually impossible to make one single plantation covering such a large area, the 'Sacred Grove and Green Corridor Method,' involves creating many small plantations (Groves) over a large area and linking them with green corridors/ belts.
If Earths' fresh water and cooling systems can be re‐balanced, then life on Earth can potentially still continue and thrive for a long time. This way sustainable development is truly possible. Throughout the world there are many environmental groups and government bodies, working on local environmental problems and doing great and valuable work. However unless we consider the greater picture within our given projects then we cannot expect to effectively succeed over a long time.
If we consider our Earth as one great house, with the mountain regions comprising the roof, we can conceive how important they are for the stability of the whole. With only 1% of the finances presently spent on environmental projects being focused on the roof it can still potentially be repaired and the house could be saved. This does not mean 1% more; it means redirecting 1% of the 100% towards "The Roof of the World." This would support and give a chance of long-term sustainability to the other 99% used in the house. This could be a way whereby many groups could join together and support a common project for the benefit of all their projects and the greater good of the whole.
"Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage; lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost‐effective measures to prevent environmental degradation." (UNCED, 1992 .Principle 15)
We believe that it is still possible to reforest 25% of Earths mountain regions within the next thirty years, so enabling the natural systems to re-balance themselves and for life on Earth to continue for many thousands of years. However for this to be successful it is important that different groups and individuals include this in their programs and join together in a common program for the good of all.
We welcome all willing to join together with us in this.

A 54-year-old Vietnamese male with a history of a subdural hematoma in 2004 with no neurological sequel and no other medical problems presented with complains of a new pattern of headache for the last 6 weeks. He mentions that the headaches wake him up around 01:00 to 01:30 persistently, as if woken by an "alarm clock." The headaches last for 15 to 30 minutes and resolve on their own most of the time. The character of the headaches are mostly dull pressure-like or sometimes throbbing in nature, and these headaches are located mostly in the bilateral temporal region. There are no other associated features of photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, vomiting, unilateral tearing, or any nasal stuffiness with these headaches. He denies any headaches during the day. Once in the last 6 weeks he woke up for a second time with the same type of headache around 04:00. He denies any early morning headache or any exertion headache. The rest of his medical and psychiatric history is nonsignificant. He denies any other sleep related problems, including insomnia, snoring or any witnessed apneas, or any discomfort in the legs. His family history is negative for migraine headaches. He did not have any history of trauma prior to the onset of these headaches.
On examination, his vital signs were within normal limits. His Mallampati score was 1, and his BMI was 25. He had a normal neurological and a general examination. Patient had good venous pulsation on funduscopic examination, and there were no pretectal or long tract signs noted. The patient was sent for a MRI scan of the brain, which was normal.
QUESTION: What is the most likely cause of these headaches?
Exploding head syndrome
Cluster headaches
Hypnic headaches
Recurrent subdural hematoma
ANSWER: d. Hypnic headaches
The patient's history and clinical examination is most likely consistent with hypnic headaches. As per the diagnostic criteria, the short duration of the headache for less than 15 to 30 min (compared to the usual attack duration of 10-180 min) which awakens the patient at the same time every night with no other autonomic symptoms is consistent with the diagnosis of hypnic headaches.1 There are no associated autonomic symptoms like unilateral tearing or any nasal congestion, as is seen with cluster headaches. Also the short duration of these headaches with no other associated symptoms of photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, vomiting does not fulfill the criteria of migraines. Migraines and cluster headaches generally have a predisposition to start in the REM period and sometimes in slow wave sleep.2,3 Absence of past medical history of headaches (with or without any associated autonomic symptoms) makes these headaches less likely to be migraines or cluster headaches.
Early morning headaches are seen in patients with space-occupying lesions, such as brain tumors or chronic subdural hematoma, or even in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. As the patient had a history of subdural hematoma in the past, this new pattern of headache justified further work-up with an MRI of the brain. However, his headaches were very time-specific and occurred at the same time every night for a short duration (hence these headaches are also known as "alarm clock headaches").
"Exploding head syndrome" is a parasomnia in which patients experience a loud bang in their head, similar to a bomb exploding, which seems to originate from inside the head. This parasomnia mostly occurs at the onset of deep sleep and is not associated with any pain or swelling or any other physical trait, but sometimes is associated with bright light or shortness of breath.
Hypnic headaches are known to respond best to lithium. The mechanism of action of lithium is hypothesized to be related to increase in melatonin secretion. There are some case reports of topiramate being effective in resolving hypnic headaches.5 Other medications used to treat
hypnic headaches with equivocal response include indomethacin, flunarizine (not available in US), and caffeine. Indomethacin has been suggested to be helpful if the hypnic headaches are unilateral.4
