The life of an adventurer is a dangerous one, and characters can lose body parts due to a large number of dangers. Combat, disease, fire, radiation, extreme cold and even a really bad roll can render even the toughest adventurer crippled, blind or suffering other disabilities. But thankfully through advanced technology, a character has the option (with enough money) to be rebuilt, better, stronger, faster...
Each of these devices is an option for characters who need replacement parts or who otherwise wish to enhance themselves. In science fiction, such options are appealing to reflect grizzled veterans, re-built laborers, cyber-fetishists, technophiles and survivors of various sorts.
These rules are designed for use with the excellent Grit and Vigor RPG by John Stater. Its an excellent game that is based off of the d20 system, but has a strong element of the grittier sort of "old-school" games.
A human or humanoid body can only tolerate so much cyberware before becoming more machine than person. In the case of Androids, this is a question of becoming more robot than android. To reflect this fact, a character can have a maximum bumber of cyberware as his or her CON modifier +1. Going over this limit does not necessarily kill the character, but will turn him or her into a Construct, and thus an NPC.
As a general rule, cybernetics are treated as part of the characters body, and is healed along with it in the form of Hit Points etc. However in the case of Sunder or Ranged Sunder attacks (GnV page 73-74), specific wounds (GnV page 75-76) or other effects that might damage cyberware directly, the cyberwares Item Saving Throw (GnV page 64) is that of Steel and Titanium (Saving Throw 4). Repairing this sort of damage requires that the surgeon have the Electronics and Treat Injury skills, and having both an Electronics Repair Kit and a Medical Kit. The Venture Master may require special equipment or space parts.
Electricity Vulnerability
A creature with one or more cybernetic attachments takes 50% more damage from any attack that deals electricity damage. This vulnerability to electricity can be offset by an anti-shock implant.
Here is a selection of basic cyberware that is available on most planets with a spaceport. All of these entries have the following details;
Upgrade Slots: This represents the number of additional devices than might be included in the piece of Cyberware. These do not need to be filled right away, but can be added to during the course of play.
Standard Gadgets: These are gadgets and weapons that can be found in the equipment lists found in Chapter III of the Grit and Vigor Rulebook. The relative costs of the equipment is added to the base cost of the cyberware.
Advanced Gadgets: These are taken from the Advanced Weapons and Gadgets and Gizmos lists. The relative costs of the equipment is added to the base cost of the cyberware.
Cost: This is the base cost of cyberware.

Cyborgs are most common in the military, law enforcement and manufacturing careers of Mythos Space, where potentially crippling accidents are part of the job. Many cyborgs are ex-military of some sort or another and usually have some really good stories about how they got this or that implant. However, despite the coolness of cybernetics, most people are disturbed by extensive upgrades.
Several organizations, races and groups have a particular focus on Cyborgs. Such as:
Acolytes of Zo-Kalar: The Elder One called Zo-Kalar (lord of birth and death) has a sizable following among Cyborgs, who see the enigmatic entity as a type of cyborg or hybrid construct. Rigorous personal control and an adherence to logic is a main teaching of this society.
Androids (Race): Androids who get cybernetic implants are actually looking for upgrades and enhancements to their mechanical forms. Eventually, such androids are more like robots than people.
Cai Shen Intersolar (Corporation): This corporation specializes is security services and mercenaries, and such has a great use for cyborgs. Cyborgs comprise a large number of their specialized operatives, and can expect access to excellent gear and upgrades.
Cult of Gtuhanai: This cult is dedicated to the Great Old One Gtuhanai, the Destroyer God of the Aartna. This entity manifests as a Unicron-like all-devouring machine vortex. And as-such is appealing to Androids and certain technophilic cultists. Cyborgs feature greatly in their cult.
Deep Ones and Gillies (Race/Creatures): Manipulating life-forms is an old art of the Deep Ones, though they generally prefer bio-engineering and symbiotes over cybernetics. However, in the 51st century, Gillies in particular have taken to cyberware as a means to adapt and grow.

What's Happening in Tahiti?
The flow of large yachts has become very regular in Tahiti since the Millennium and seems to encompass all seasons now, with an average 90 days stay and a peak season from June to end August. Our concierge desk has been busy all year round booking a variety of activities for guests and crew in Tahiti and other famous leeward islands like Bora Bora, Huahine or Taha'a. We have also organized more adventurous cruises in the Marquesas archipelago this year. These islands are the most remote from any continent in the world and have a unique ecosystem with rugged mountains and fierce people, proud to display their reviving traditional culture.

Small Business and Community Investment: How to Build Your Business Neighborhood
Guest post from Sacha Ferrandi, the owner and founder of Source Capital Funding, Inc. With over 12 years of experience owning and operating a small business for real estate, Sacha is an expert in business development, lending for real estate, and networking.
Business networking is a critical component of any small business. It breathes life into your company through passion, connections, and new opportunities. In turn, networking provides a platform to learn and support other businesses and their owners, who one day, may be able to help you as well.
Many small business owners often master the art of networking with potential clients and industry professionals. While this is effective, by limiting the networking scope to a select entitled few, business owners are doing themselves and their communities a great disservice by missing out on an important component to the networking cycle: The Greater Business Community
Small Businesses can leverage networking to connect with and support unrelated businesses in their neighborhood. Many companies miss this wonderful opportunity to connect to, uplift, and promote one another.
By widening your networking scope, you gain exposure to untapped markets. No matter how removed from your industry a person or company may be, he or she may be a business marketing angel in disguise. Furthermore, from broad-scope networking comes neighborhood income growth, community integration, and higher home values, just to start.
Finding it difficult to break outside of your networking comfort zone? Try these unique, helpful and powerfully effective ways to increase your exposure while also lifting up your community.
Host A Happy Hour Networking Event
Hosting a networking event is perfect for learning more about your business neighbors and building relationships. From time management advice, to a marketing focus, create an engaging, mutually beneficial event for you and your attendees:
- Skip the sales pitches and just be yourself. Your goal to is meet and get to know your fellow business owners. Save the sales for business hours.
- Request one of your attendees to speak at your event about a topic your guests can benefit from. If possible to keep the talk unique to your community or local business trends.
- Inviting your guests to host the next event will help keep the networking momentum going and allow for greater involvement and participation within the group.
- Take feedback for future events.
Extend Referral Discounts to The Community
Visit the local businesses in your area and introduce yourself. Tell them about your company, and let the owner know that they, their employees, and customers are welcome to receive a discount for anyone that mentions the business name. To make the offer more personal and beneficial, consider the following tips:
- Offer compensation, or a special incentive for promotion for the business owner and employees if they send business your way.
- Ask the owner to provide you with cards, brochures or materials you can hand out for them, as well as any information about specials they are promoting. This is a great marketing tip as well, as any business that you connect has great potential to generate leads.
Supply Community Volunteer Involvement
By offering up your employees the option to volunteer in your community, your city gets much needed help, and your business does too. Your employee volunteers are taking part in a form of employee-based marketing. Employee volunteering adds a human element to your business that can help strengthen a good reputation, and generate leads for your business. To create useful and rewarding events for your employees, following key guidelines can make each venture a success:
- In your conversations with local business owners and non-profits, make a point to ask if they accept volunteers. Then ask yourself how your business can be of most help.
- Make a varied list of volunteer opportunities for your employees, then allow your employees to pick and choose events and projects that highlight their interests and talents. This makes volunteer time more rewarding for both the volunteers and the companies they choose to serve.
- Organize the volunteer time to suit your business needs and the needs of your employees. Respect your employees' schedules and their availability during work hours, and clarify whether the volunteer service will be paid or unpaid, and during work or personal time.
- Offer incentives for employees that bring new business or helpful contacts generated from the volunteering experience.
- Build solid connections. Remind staff to introduce themselves, and meet as many new people as they can during their volunteer work. Through the numerous connections, you may even find your next intern, or part-time employee.
Donate to a Different Local Business Charity Each Month
Whether it's assisting underprivileged youth, offering free legal assistance, or feeding the needy, business charities are often at the core of every thriving community. Supporting these valuable community resources allows you to contribute directly to uplifting your community while also gaining exposure and credibility in the process. Here are some key tips when considering your monthly contribution:
- Keep the charities local. Your donations help bring your business brand to the people you can directly serve in your area. Use location to your advantage.
- Request a highlight in the charity's newsletter. This can lend you some good exposure in return for your donation.
- Remember to save receipts. Your business receives tax benefits for every donation. With the free marketing and tax benefit, you may have even offset your donation in entirety.
Highlight A Different Local Business On Your Website Each Month
The other businesses in your area need positive exposure just as much as you. The good exposure karma goes a long way, and often when you least expect it. Whether your feature highlight is a blog post about a great dinner from a local restaurant, or a tweet about a local industry's great product, any positive exposure for your fellow businesses owners is worthwhile for two key reasons:
- This project will communicate to your potential clients your willingness to support and engage positively with your community. This builds brand trust.
- The monthly features create the likelihood of your business being promoted in the community by other businesses. You can even reach out to other businesses and offer to do a 'promotion swap'.
Although networking is a critical piece to your business and its success, the rules for a successful outcome are far from hard and fast. In fact, the best form of networking comes not from a script or a formula but from an intent to give and receive genuine value and support in your relationships with your fellow business owners toward the goal of continued growth for all.

The building itself has an elegant and extravagant design. The food tends to be pricey, but that's to be expected. This is no weekend hangout. It's a place you visit for important occasions such as that romantic date or that important business dinner. Some of the house specialties include their seafood with Italian accents, including the seared tuna or whole fish baked in salt.

When I started my own consulting business and left Pitney Bowes, my first clients were two marinas in CT. I relocated to here and now, two years later, I've been able to help many new clients in South Florida and have become very active in the business community (for example, working with the Branding Committee and joining the Marine Advisory Committee at the Chamber!).
I'm writing you to announce that I have a new, specialized area of consulting in the marine industry. Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the U.S. and my years of experience with the CT marinas have given me entrance into this great niche. Many of these marine companies don't know how to market effectively in this new, digital age. What's more, those that have tried are frustrated by bad experiences.
Here's why I'm writing: my client base is growing steadily, mostly through referrals. Will you please be on the lookout for any of your friends or colleagues who are in the recreational marine industry?
What is the recreational marine industry? It's everything from local marinas to boat dealers to companies servicing power boats, sailboats, and fishing boats. It includes companies that manufacture and service the engines and equipment used on these vessels, and encompasses condominiums and communities with their own private docks as well.
Recreational marine companies are located all over the U.S. and I can work with any organization by phone and online, so geography is not a concern. A marina or boat dealer in northern FL is as much of a prospect as one in Fort Lauderdale!
If you do see a potential match, will you please let me know? I'd love to chat with them to see if I can help them with their digital marketing. They can call me at 203.521.1752 or visit my website www.janetgranger.com. If I'm not the right person to help them I also know other great people in marketing who can!
Thanks so much for your help. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know. And please do stay in touch with your news in the future!

Tycho's news post commenting on the new Microsoft program to sell game consoles like cell phones nails it:
Subsidizing hardware with a service charge is how you sell expensive things to people who can't afford them, or can't afford it all at once. It's about context, though: the gaming console has historically been sold to people who place a premium on its ownership. Eventually the top part of the funnel gets wider, certainly, and prices drop. But seeing this model here, where I live, is like finding a bear in your driveway. What happens when you launch a console in this way?
You can look at Amazon or whatever and see that the hardware goes for $276 and up. Obviously, you and I probably aren't interested in such a device for our personal use: four gigs isn't enough to copy a single disc to the local drive, reaping the benefits thereby. The Kinect is deeply, profoundly optional as a peripheral. It doesn't matter, though: "we" already own the thing. "We" have probably owned several, statistically speaking. This box is for another type of person, and that person exists in far greater numbers than the stalwart faithful which huddle in our cloister.

In today's changeable international economy, you unmistakably ne'er know what is going to occur close. Uncertainties and concerns in connection with the Iraqi threat, North Korean crisis, and invisible terrorist cells and networks persist to soar in the rear of the minds of consumers. Moreover, the pigs markets and industries in a circle the international.
Price inflation is another great interest for each one. The current Consumer Price Index (CPI) number free by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics states that prices, in all U.S. cities, are up 0.1% in the period of December for the calendar time period of 2002. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a system that produces time unit background on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representing basket of artefact and employment. Furthermore, the national state rate continues to stay behind committed at 6.0% for the period of December 2002. Believe it or not, this may not be as bad as it sounds.
Economic suggestion suggests that an enhance in the economic process rate will organize to a lessen in the national severance charge per unit. But since the state charge per unit is currently 6.0%, this may also put forward that in bid for this rate to sooner or later decrease, we should wish more economic process in the approaching. The new flow in oil prices in cooperation next to loved metals supports this assumption and may too be a intimation of what's to locomote.Post ads:

Well, it seems that you in all probability can't fend off inflation, but in that are decidedly opportunities that you can proceeds benefit of, in directive to keep hold of up beside it. One choice may well be to evaluate depositing your coinage into a money side instead than a hard cash souk rationalization. Most star banks are at present docile an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) that ranges from 0.5% to 0.75%.

One of the unsurpassable tax that I have of late seen is ING Direct's substance of 2.25% APY for their Orange Savings Account. But if these taxation are not what you are superficial for, consider investment in the trite bazaar. With the most modern worsening in the economy, shares are beautiful worthless and going immediate. There are now numerous online brokerages that permit consumers to purchase instrument of punishment for a minute fee. For instance, Sharebuilder lets consumers place for as tiny as $4. However, please be wary, this finance picking is a greater hazard so you should ask near a business enterprise authority beforehand winning this maneuver.
Whether you settle on to put your hard cash in these asset opportunities or not, it is up to you. But in recent times bring to mind that if you don't, you are in reality losing currency because the "purchasing power" of your monetary unit is subsiding as the rising prices rate is getting higher.Post ads:

There are 2 approaches you can use to share data between you and your colleagues. You can setup cloud sync in our app between the devices which will sync all the data across the 3 devices. You do this by using the same Dropbox account across the 3 devices. That syncs EVERYTHING, and is commonly used for business partners and families. Note: each user just sees their own iOS Calendar items (which we include along with app items in our Agenda and various calendar views).
In the future we will be adding selective syncing around specific topics (e.g projects, tasks, events, etc.).
A better option adopted by users wanting to just share calendar items: Our app works directly with the iOS Calendar app to access your calendars. If you have included a calendar that you and your colleagues share (such as a shared Google company calendar) then our app will be able to access it and will display the events of your shared calendar in our app. Also, you can configure our App to use that shared calendar as the default Calendar(in Settings -> My Settings). In that case, other users will not see the actual task created by one of you in the app, but will see its "shadow copy" created in the shared calendar automatically, thereby being able to be aware of what's on the schedule.

Privacy Policy.
The Teachers Health Trust (the "Trust") recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of information we may collect from our online visitors. The Trust does not sell or provide names, e–mail address or other information to any third party for any reason. Furthermore, the Trust does not believe in sending e–mail ("spam") to people that do not wish to receive it.
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.
Health Information Privacy
This Notice is required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") and is intended to describe how the Teachers Health Trust, to the extent applicable to you, will protect your health information. "Health information" for this purpose means information that identifies you and either relates to your physical or mental health condition, or relates to the payment of your health care expenses. This individually identifiable health information is known as "protected health information" ("PHI"). Your PHI will not be used or disclosed without a written authorization from you, except as described in this Notice or as otherwise permitted by federal or state health information privacy laws.
Trust Privacy Obligations
The Trust is required by law to:
Make sure that health information that identifies you is kept private;
Give you this Notice of their legal duties and privacy practices with respect to health information about you; and
Follow the terms of the Notice that are in effect.
How the Trust May Use and Disclose Health Information About You
The Trust may use health information or disclose it to others for a number of different reasons. The following are the different ways that the Trust may use and disclose your PHI without your authorization:
For Treatment. The Trust may disclose your PHI to a health care provider who provides, coordinates or manages health care treatment on your behalf. For example, if you are unable to provide your medical history as a result of an accident, the Trust may advise an emergency room physician about the different medications that you may have been prescribed.
For Payment. The Trust may use and disclose your PHI so claims for health care treatment, services, and supplies that you receive from health care providers may be paid according to the Trust's terms. The Trust may also use your PHI for billing, reviews of health care services received, and subrogation. For example, the Trust may tell a doctor or hospital whether you are eligible for coverage or what percentage of the bill will be paid by the Trust.
For Health Care Operations. The Trust may use and disclose your PHI to enable them to operate more efficiently or to make certain that all of their participants receive the appropriate health benefits. For example, the Trust may use your PHI for case management, to refer individuals to disease management programs, for underwriting, premium rating, activities relating to the creation, renewal or replacement of a contract of health insurance or health benefits, to arrange for medical reviews, or to perform population–based studies designed to reduce health care costs. In addition, the Trust may use or disclose your PHI to conduct compliance reviews, audits, legal reviews, actuarial studies, and/or for fraud and abuse detection. The Trust may also combine health information about participants and disclose it to designated Trust personnel or others in a non–identifiable, summary fashion so that they can decide, for example, what types of coverage the Trust should provide. The Trust may also remove information that identifies you from health information that is disclosed to the designated Trust personnel or others so that the health information that they use does not identify the specific Trust participants.
To Trust Employees. The Trust may disclose your PHI to designated Trust employees so that they can carry out related administrative functions, including the uses and disclosures described in this Notice. Such disclosures will be made only to the individuals authorized to receive such information under the Trust. These individuals will protect the privacy of your health information and ensure that it is used only as described in this Notice or as permitted by law. Unless authorized by you in writing, your health information: (1) may not be disclosed by the Trust to any employee or department, other than designated Trust personnel, and (2) will not be used by Trust employees or others for any employment–related actions or decisions, or in connection with any other employee benefit plans sponsored by the Trust.
To a Business Associate. Certain services are provided to the Trust by third–party administrators known as "business associates." For example, the Trust may place information about your health care treatment into an electronic claims processing system maintained by a business associate so that your claim may be paid. In so doing, the Trust will disclose your PHI to their business associates so that the business associates can perform their claims payment functions. However, the Trust will require their business associates, through written agreements, to appropriately safeguard your health information.
For Treatment Alternatives. The Trust may use and disclose your PHI to tell you about possible treatment options or health care alternatives that may be of interest to you.
For Health–Related Benefits and Services. The Trust may use and disclose your PHI to tell you about health–related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.
For Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment of Your Care. The Trust may disclose PHI to a close friend or family member involved in or who helps pay for your health care. The Trust may also advise a family member or close friend about your condition, your location (for example, that you are in the hospital), or death, unless other laws would prohibit such disclosures.
As Required by Law. The Trust will disclose your PHI when required to do so by federal, state, or local law, including those laws that require the reporting of certain types of wounds, illnesses or physical injuries.
Special Use and Disclosure Situations
The Trust may also use or disclose your PHI without your authorization under the following circumstances:
Lawsuits and Disputes. If you become involved in a lawsuit or other legal action, the Trust may disclose your PHI in response to a court or administrative order, a subpoena, warrant, discovery request, or other forms of lawful due process.
Law Enforcement. The Trust may release your PHI if asked to do so by a law enforcement official, for example, to report child abuse, to identify or locate a suspect, material witness, missing person or to report a crime, the crime's location or victims, or the identity, description, or location of the person who committed the crime.
Workers' Compensation. The Trust may disclose your PHI to the extent authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with workers' compensation laws and other similar programs.
Military and Veterans. If you are or become a member of the U.S. armed forces, the Trust may release medical information about you as deemed necessary by military command authorities.
To Avert Serious Threat to Health or Safety. The Trust may use and disclose your PHI when necessary to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety, or the health and safety of the public or another person.
Public Health Risks. The Trust may disclose health information about you for public health activities. These activities include preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability; reporting births and deaths; reporting child abuse or neglect; or reporting reactions to medications or problems with medical products, or to notify people of recalls of products they have been using.
Health Oversight Activities. The Trust may disclose your PHI to a health oversight agency for audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure necessary for the government to monitor the health care system and government programs.
Research. Under certain limited circumstances, the Trust may use and disclose your PHI for medical research purposes.
National Security, Intelligence Activities, and Protective Services. The Trust may release your PHI to authorized federal officials: (1) for intelligence, counterintelligence, and other national security activities authorized by law and (2) to enable them to provide protection to the members of the U.S. government or foreign heads of state, or to conduct special investigations.
Organ and Tissue Donation. If you are an organ donor, the Trust may release medical information to organizations that handle organ procurement or organ, eye, or tissue transplantation, or to an organ donation bank to facilitate organ or tissue donation and transplantation.
Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors. The Trust may release your PHI to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or to determine the cause of death. The Trust may also release your PHI to a funeral director, as necessary, to carry out his/her responsibilities.
Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information
You have the following rights regarding the health information that the Trust maintains about you:
Right to Inspect and Copy Your Personal Health Information. You have the right to inspect and copy your PHI that is maintained in a "designated record set" for so long as the Trust maintains your PHI. A "designated record set" includes medical information about eligibility, enrollment, claim and appeal records, and medical and billing records maintained by the Trust, but does not include psychotherapy notes, information intended for use in a civil, criminal or administrative proceeding, or information that is otherwise prohibited by law.To inspect and copy health information maintained by the Trust, submit your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. The Trust may charge a fee for the cost of copying and/or mailing your request. The Trust must act upon your request for access no later than 30 days after receipt (60 days if the information is maintained off–site). A single, 30–day extension is allowed if the Trust is unable to comply by the initial deadline. In limited circumstances, the Trust may deny your request to inspect and copy your PHI. Generally, if you are denied access to your health information, you will be informed as to the reasons for the denial, and of your right to request a review of the denial.
Right to Amend Your Personal Health Information. If you feel that the health information that the Trust have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask the Trust to amend it. You have the right to request an amendment for so long as the Trust maintains your PHI in a designated record set. To request an amendment, send a detailed request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. You must provide the reason(s) to support your request. The Trust may deny your request if you ask the Trust to amend health information that was: (1) accurate and complete; (2) not created by the Trust; (3) not part of the health information kept by or for the Trust; or (4) not information that you would be permitted to inspect and copy. The Trust has 60 days after the request is received to act on the request. A single, 30–day extension is allowed if the Trust cannot comply by the initial deadline. If the request is denied, in whole or in part, the Trust will provide you with a written denial that explains the basis for the denial. You may then submit a written statement disagreeing with the denial and, if permitted under HIPAA, have that statement included with any future disclosures of your PHI.
Right to An Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to request an "accounting of disclosures" of your PHI. This is a list of disclosures of your PHI that the Trust has made to others for the six (6) year period prior to the request, except for those disclosures necessary to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations, disclosures previously made to you, disclosures that occurred prior to April 14, 2003 (the HIPAA compliance date), or in certain other situations described under HIPAA.To request an accounting of disclosures, submit your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. Your request must state a time period, which may not be longer than six (6) years prior to the date the accounting was requested. If the accounting cannot be provided within 60 days, an additional 30 days is allowed if the Trust provides you with a written statement of the reasons for the delay and the date by when the accounting will be provided. If you request more than one accounting within a 12–month period, the Trust will charge a reasonable, cost–based fee for each subsequent accounting.
Right to Request Restrictions. You have the right to request a restriction on the health information that the Trust uses or discloses about you for treatment, payment, or health care operations. You also have the right to request that the Trust limit the individuals (for example, family members) to whom the Trust discloses health information about you. For example, you could ask that the Trust not use or disclose information about a surgical procedure that you had. While the Trust will consider your request, it is not required to agree to it. If the Trust agrees to the restriction, it will comply with your request until such time as the Trust provides written notice to you of their intent to no longer agree to such restriction, or unless such disclosure is required by law.To request a restriction or limitation, make your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. In your request, you must state: (1) what information you want to limit; (2) whether you want to limit the Trust's use, disclosure, or both; and (3) to whom you want the limit(s) to apply. Note: the Trust is not required to agree to your request.
Right to Request Confidential Communications. You have the right to request that the Trust communicate with you about health matters using alternative means or at alternative locations. For example, you can ask that the Trust send your explanation of benefits ("EOB") forms about your benefit claims to a specified address. To request confidential communications, make your request in writing to the HIPAA Privacy Officer. The Trust will make every attempt to accommodate all reasonable requests. Your request must specify how or where you want to be contacted.
State Privacy Rights. You may have additional privacy rights under state laws, including rights in connection with mental health and psychotherapy reports, pregnancy, HIV/AIDS–related illnesses, and the health treatment of minors.
Right to a Paper Copy of this Notice. You have the right to a paper copy of this Notice upon request. This right applies even if you have previously agreed to accept this Notice electronically. You may write to the HIPAA Privacy Officer to request a written copy of this Notice at any time.
Changes to this Privacy Notice
The Trust reserves the right to change this Notice at any time and from time to time, and to make the revised or changed Notice effective for health information that the Trust already has about you, as well as any information that the Trust may receive in the future. The revised Notice will be provided to you in the same manner as this Notice, or electronically if you have consented to receive the Notice electronically.
If you believe that your health information privacy rights as described under this Notice have been violated, you may file a written complaint with the Trust by contacting the person listed at the address under "Contact Information". You may also file a written complaint directly with the Trust's regional office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. The complaint should generally be filed within 180 days of when the act or omission complained of occurred. Note: You will not be penalized or retaliated against for filing a complaint.
Other Uses and Disclosures of Health Information
Other uses and disclosures of health information not covered by this Notice or by the laws that apply to the Trust will be made only with your written authorization. If you authorize the Trust to use or disclose your PHI, you may revoke the authorization, in writing, at any time.

This morning, I had the pleasure of chairing a residents' meeting for the folk who live in the Tullideph area, followed by chairing an afternoon meeting with the residents of Morven Terrace sheltered housing complex. Both meeting were well-attended and very productive but must rate as two of the most challenging I have ever chaired - I have a bad case of laryngitis and my voice is litle more than a whisper at the moment. A radio interview I was to undertake today was really not an option!
At the Tullideph sheltered lounge, we discussed numerous issues including bus services (including the new 51 service, starting Monday - also discussed at the afternoon Morven Terrace meeting), street sweeping, a flooding issue, dropped kerbing and other local issues.

Ever since Back to the Future Part II came out and tickled my fanciful soul with the Nike Air Mag, I've been waiting to get my hands on a pair. They're finally real and oh my god they're so dreaaamy.
The upper of the shoe is made of reinforced mesh. The outer sole is lined with LED panels that'll light up just like all futuristic shoes imagined in the '80s should (we're not talking corny LA Gear shoes here, people). The Air Mag is rechargeable and will stay lit for five hours. There's also a electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap. It's pretty much the exact replica of the pair of shoes Marty McFly famously wore with a few slight tweaks to add more support and comfort.
Here's the great news about the Back to the Future Nikes: they're being made for a great cause as the proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in the hopes of finding a cure for Parkinson's disease.
The less good news? Well, in the larger scope of things, there isn't any bad news. Parkinson's is a terrible disease and benefiting the search for a cure is always a good thing. For sneakerheads looking to score the shoe of their lifetime though, the Air Mags is going to be really hard to come by as only 1500 pairs will be made. Even harder is that each pair will be put up for auction on eBay.
Crushing the far-fetched dream of wearing 2015 technology on your feet though, the shoes won't be power lacing. That's okay! Everything else about the shoe is as beautiful as when I first fell in love with it. And who knows what'll happen when it's actually 2015? Michael J. Fox is slated to be on Letterman tonight, so we'll all see the official unveiling there.
There just a pair of shoes, yes, but they might as well be Doc Brown and a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor — I feel like a kid all over again. I can't wait to put them on. [Spain Kicks via Sole Collector]

On a cloudless calm day, 29 PGR members came together to provide an outstanding display of Red, White, and Blue for Benedict (Ben) Auer at the Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Albany MN.
The day started with 12 members staging at the River Boat Depot in Sartell MN. Mark Kerfeld led the 8 Bikes and 1 cage from Sartell through the back beautiful winding roads from Sartell to Albany. Upon arriving in Albany we joined up with the other 17 members, had a short briefing, during which we were then blessed with the company of the Auer family. They thanked us to no end for being there for them. We then took flags in hand and set up around the front and down a short sidewalk in front of the Church in preparation for the review before the service.
At 11:00 the service started and we stood down and enjoyed the gorgeous day in a shady area, first in the parking lot then out in the Cemetery near the final resting spot. We then sent 4 members to provide a flag line at the church and the rest of us set up in the Cemetery to await the family. As the hearse left the church the 4 PGR members took up position in front of the hearse and behind the Legion Color Guard and they all marched the short distance to the Cemetery.
Following a few prayers the Legion provided the 21 gun salute and played taps. There were 2 Military Honor Guards present to remove the flag from the casket and present it to Mrs Auer. The Legion members and Military Honor soldiers did their parts flawlessly providing a tribute to Ben that was much deserved.
The PGR presence was due to some great members giving up their time when they could have done all kinds of other things. Members present were from St Cloud, Alexandria, Detroit Lakes, Brainerd, Metro N.W. and I believe one other area in the Metro. I can't thank those present enough for making this day the best possible for the Auer family. They know we care and they were truly taken back from the display you gave them. The flag line was maintained in true PGR Dignity, Honor, and Respect and I am proud to have had the opportunity to stand this day with some great people. One of the toughest times for a Mission is during the week as we all have busy lives and it is tough to miss work for too many Missions. But on this day you truly made a big difference with your presence and should all be proud of being a part of this Mission.
Next to the Church is a school and during the review I was approached by the Principal who thanked all of us for being there and for what we do throughout MN. She told me that the students were really amazed at what they saw at the Church and she wanted to know how her husband and she could join the PGR. I luckily had 30 PGR cards and gave her a few to share.
Without the statewide support given to St Cloud we could not provide the great day like today and without the help of the RC'S getting the word out we could not have the day we did. Without the great support from the people behind the scenes doing the web stuff we could not get anything done so I thank all of you that had a part in making this all work. Great job by all, Thank You!!

Petzl Ultra Belt Headlamp
Petzl headlamps available here.
Every so once in a while I score a piece of review gear from Lou which is better than any amount of roses or chocolates. Such a thing happened this week when the Petzl Ultra, 350 lumens headlamp landed in my lap.
I love road riding and I'm fortunate to be able to bicycle commute along a lovely 12 mile path from April thru October. My days at the office start early and often end late, so at this time of year, many of my rides are cold and dark. Wearing my lightweight backcountry skiing gear works perfectly to keep me warm, but I seem to constantly play around with lighting setups. I prefer to keep things light and versatile, so a headlamp is my preference. I get scared when I'm alone in the dark, and none of the ones I've tried were bright enough to help me see well enough to feel comfortable.
But now, with the 350 lumens duct taped to my helmet, I see far enough ahead to zip along and feel safe in the darkest morning. As the sun rises, I can easily dial down the power to conserve battery life (a big, glove-friendly dial provides control). The Petzl Ultra battery pack is heavy, but the cord is long and I stash it in a pocket. My helmet doesn't get weighed down so neck strain isn't an issue.
The one drawback to this type of headlamp, especially for backcountry use, is that you have to recharge the battery from a wall socket. I'm sure Lou could build a battery pack for the Ultra that took AA cells, and perhaps Petzl even has that as an option. But considering you've only got three hours available at the brightest setting with the larger Li rechargeable battery the unit comes with, running the Ultra with disposable batteries would dent your bank account rather substantially.
Speaking of battery life, Petzl Ultra runs like this: Two battery options are available. The larger cell will run about 3 hours on bright, 9 on medium, and 34 on the economy setting. The smaller battery option yields about 1.5 hours on max, 5 hours medium, and 16 in economy mode. An easily operated and intuitive "energy gauge" gives you a power reading by pushing a button, so you won't be mystified about how much light you've got left. (Bear in mind this is a lithium/ion power source, so it will age and loose capacity just as your laptop computer battery does.)
While we've seen other "flame thrower" headlamps that provided more complex settings and options, I actually like the simplicity of the Ultra. Three settings. Big control knob. Power gauge. Tilt head. That's it.
So far no big downsides (other than the typical wallet cleaning price of super bright headlamps), though Lou pointed out that the "lock" feature of the control knob is not positive enough for total confidence that the unit wouldn't get turned on inadvertently while stowed in a backpack. Solution to that is of course simply disconnecting the battery during storage. Meanwhile, we be biking — and seeing well.
Petzl headlamps available here.

I forget…. which Star Wars movie

$430 BUCKS, Ouch. I think you can get a bike specific head lamp for much less. It would evem mount without duct tape. Check out the Magic shine for ninety bucks. Or stick with a Niterider.

Awesome photo…..this headlamp must look like a locomotive to your approaching fellow bike commuters.
Oh and Lou…powder doesn't work for the spam question? and snirt does…….

Check out Ay-up Lights. They are the lightest, brightest, most simple lights available. Over 400 lumens per lighthead, and a 6hour battery is about the size of a deck of playing cards (and about the same weight), and the 3 hour battery is about 2/3rds the size is weighs little enough to mount on your helmet with the battery! I have also had a 3 hour battery last close to 7 hours in a race! They come with a helmet mount, a handlebar mount, and a headlamp strap kit. Have been using them for adventure racing, night mtb, orienteering, etc for years now and can't imagine using anything else- they are light, bright, and as far as I can tell indestructible.
September 29th, 2010 12:25 pm
I have to agree with Kevin. And although it was still spendy, my $300 Lupine Passubio XC bike light is plenty bright for any type of night riding from commutes to serious singletrack. AND it can be mounted to a headband for off-the-bike use and has a user progamable hard drive that lets you decide how many brightness settings, etc to run.

I recently bought a Baja Designs Stryker 700 lumen LED headlamp for $289 and am super pleased with it. They have a long history of building tough lights for offroad usage. Most of the dirtbikes on the Baja 1000 use them. I use my headlight on my mtn and dirt bike and it is incredibly bright with about a four hour burn time. It has a high, medium and low setting. $430 seems a bit steep for about half the brightness. One thing to be aware of with LED lights is that claimed lumens are just a claim.

The petzl was state of art 4 years ago. But now are there several headlamps with moore than 1000 lumen. I think this is the most powerful:
All info in swedish but it is 2100 lumen and the price is about 700 dollar.

I've seen that Petzl, and it is BRIGHT. I use a Cygolite that gives about 300 lumens and keeps me going on bike commutes year-round.

So it IS 'skiable'? No vertigo!
November 5th, 2011 7:55 pm
I have one of these Headlamps and i love it. It is a must have for night time activities outside. The battery lasts forever so i never have to go without any light.
I would definitely recommend it.

We have been in Spain for just about a week now. We are currently sitting in a cafe called Bella Vista, AKA "Orange Chair" to the Americans in town or "Orange Bar" to the English (the chairs on the outside are all bright orange). There's also a Blue Chair restaurant and a Red Chair in town. Direct and to the point…I like their style.

I'm back after a long hiatus.
I recently became an active reader/poster on Reddit. No, I won't tell you my handle. While this may have to do with not venturing much outside of certain subreddits (malefashionadvice, sex, askreddit, gonewild, self, and IAmA, mainly), I'm constantly impressed–amazed might be an even better word–at how Reddit seems uninfected by the general mediocrity of the Internet. I mean, when I first heard that Reddit was basically a gigantic dump for content/discussion/comments, it sounded like the most horrible idea ever. Of course, the genius of the upvote/downvote system means that any comments akin to "lolz this is s00per gay Obama is niggur LOL fgt" gets hidden almost immediately.
If Reddit is the gold standard for how Internet discussion/commenting should be, then what's the opposite? You know the answer: YouTube. While YouTube is a valuable source for just about anything you want (from audio only clips of heinous diarrhea to fairly high quality recordings of Wanna Be A Baller COMPLETE WITH LYRICS), the TimetoRacism TimetoHomophobia TimetoWeedworship threshold rests at about 3 comments. I honesty think some people do nothing but smoke weed and troll YouTube comments pages. This is what happens in Barack Obama's America! (I kid, folks. Don't go nuts.)
Other things…
The only time I dislike being a very large guy is when I'm shopping for clothes. I'm pretty much forced to either order things online or spend lots of money, because a lot of the cheaper brands marketed towards younger people apparently size their clothing to waifish hipsters. I went into Zara tonight and saw a nice jacket, found a 44, and managed to squeeze in and out of it before it cut off blood flow to my arms. What man with a 44 chest has arms so small, I ask you? On the other side of things, I found out (through Reddit, natch) that Redwings tend to run a full size big, which means I can JUST BARELY fit into them. Of course, now I have to find a store that actually stocks 14s…
Saw Lincoln, really enjoyed it. It made me wish that American politics still involved highly educated, literate, and incredibly witty people eviscerating each other with flowery language amidst much shouting and ballyhoo.
Trip back to Dallas was great, if not a little surreal/sad. As per her will, we divided my late grandmother's jewelry collection amongst the daughters and granddaughters, and each grandson got to pick one piece as well, for future wives/girlfriends. As I said on twitter, I feel like I'm starting a fight with a woman I haven't met yet. Still, I think I picked out a pretty good ring, it's gotten pretty positive responses from the women I've showed it too, so there's hope for me yet, I suppose. It was very bittersweet to go through her things…a large and lovely collection accrued over 88 years. Pretty incredible.
We also had a wedding reception to attend at the Dallas Petroleum Club, which, as my brother so succinctly put it, is "for when the Dallas Country Club is just too gauche." Good conversation, great view, and fancy dress all around. Then my brother and I went to a house party and were "the suits".
Also: hung out with an old friend who now lives in San Francisco, and we reminisced about our departed loved ones (his father recently passed), and also drank absinthe. First time for me. I didn't see any green faeries.
That's all for now, I think.

** This post is part of a blog series. Click here to start at the beginning. **
Another fun way that I am incorporating school into our summer days is by allowing our older 3 children to use the computer more this summer. This works out perfect during the warm part of the day when it is really just too darn hot to go out and play.
One of the resources that we have enjoyed over the past 2 years has been the Bubble Pop! Math Challenge software from Lakeshore Learning.
I highly recommend this as a great supplement to your existing math program to reinforce and practice those basic math facts. My children love to race as they try to solve the math problems by popping the correct bubbles before they splash into the pond. There are 2 levels of this program: Grades 1 – 2 and Grades 3-4.
Here are a few screenshots of the Grades 1-2 level…
The Grade 1-2 level has 4 math categories: addition, subtraction, money, and time skills. These build in difficulty and they unlock the 8 levels as you progress through the game.
And here are a few screenshots from the Grades 3-4 level…
The Grade 3-4 level is the same basic game but it focuses on a different set of math skills. It also has 4 math categories: division, multiplication, rounding, and fractions.
How Our Family Uses These Programs: Even though these software programs have suggested grade levels, this is not the way we have chosen to use this program. Last year, Caleb Davis (my then 3rd grader) was needing some reinforcement with his addition/subtraction facts. That is when I went looking for a fun, safe way for him to practice his math facts and he started with the Grade 1-2 level of the software. We still use flashcards a lot around here but this is another great way for the children to practice not only their math facts but also computer keyboard/mouse skills all at the same time. There are 4 categories so this summer they are doing a category for each day of the week (We are doing school 4x a week, so this works out great). Nathan James and Emma Lee are doing the Grade 1-2 level game so their week looks like this… Monday – Addition, Tuesday, Subtraction, Wednesday – Time, and Thursday – Money.
I love the ease of this program and that the game saves a profile for each child, allowing them to start and stop each day very easily. During the regular school year, we have a Bubble Pop! card that appears in their workboxes randomly about twice a week. This summer they are playing the game for 15 minutes (with the help of a timer) while I work independently with another child on more detailed schoolwork. They love being able to play this fun computer game, and really do not see it as "math time" each day.
This next resource was a splurge for Caleb Davis' 10th birthday a few weeks ago. This little guy LOVES history so when I saw the Veritas Press Self-Paced History Courses go on big deep discount this past spring, I knew that I had to grab one for my little history buff. I saved it for his birthday and we surprised him with a "gift card" type insert in his birthday card. Needless to say, he was THRILLED!!
I should probably back up a bit to say that we did one of these courses a few years ago when Caleb Davis was in 2nd grade. He absolutely LOVED it then and has been begging to do them again ever since.
We choose the Middle Ages, Renassiance, and Reformation series for him (due to the fact that he has had a slight obsession with knights and castles for a while now). We are not doing the historical fiction reading portion of this course (although those might be some good Christmas presents in the future) but thanks to some friends who gave us a big box of homeschool hand me downs a few years ago, he is using the flashcards to go along with the computer lessons each week.
How Our Family Uses This Program: Caleb Davis is the only one using the program at the time, but I often find his brother + sister peeking over his shoulder encouraging him during one of the fun games or flipping through the cards while the memory song is playing, so I am sure they are learning too. He loves this so much so it is not a chore at all for him to complete a lesson each day and I allow him to complete a total of 5 each week. The online subscription is good for 1 year from the date we activated it and there are 32 weeks worth of lessons so this should be a fun enrichment activity for him to do even beyond the summer months.
I will just be honest here and say that I LOVE these courses for history and bible but the part that I DO NOT love is the purchase options. They are usually $199 for the year and while I believe that is a fair price for the excellent material that you get, the bummer is that it is only for ONE student for ONE school year (12 months from enrollment date). We try to steer away from online subscriptions such as this simply becase they are an ongoing expense and they cannot be passed down to younger siblings. We would definitely purchase the entire set of these excellent curriculum (including the Bible series and Omnibus series) if they were actually "ours" to own and we could pass them down to future siblings.
The final computer resource that we love is the Teaching Textbooks math series. I am sure that you have heard of this math curriculum and if not, I suggest you check out the demo over on the publisher's website.
This is a great easy to use math program that teaches the child without much help from Mom. They basically watch the lesson and do a series of fun, interactive math problems to reinforce that particular lesson. The animations and lessons are engaging while at the same time, it truly feels like a math "game", even though there are grades and quizzes given.
This is a screen shot of the Math 3 set and as you can tell all 3 of our older children have or are currently using it. That is such a HUGE selling point to me as a Mom of Many Blessings.
This series starts with Math 3 and I must give a disclaimer here that you might want to work a grade level up. For example, both Nathan James and Emma Lee did not have any problem working the Math 3 level when they were both in 2nd grade. It may not be like this for all the courses (especially at the high school level) but I would recommend taking the Placement Tests on the publisher's website and working a grade level above where your child is currently. (At least that has been our family's experience.)
How Our Family Uses This Program: This is one of those programs that again, you could use it as your entire math curriculum for the school year but we choose to use it as reinforcement during the summer months and about 2x a week for fun supplement during the school year. Because we choose to use it this way, my children see it as another fun computer "game" and not as a dreaded math worksheet or seatwork.
I am a fan of the Teaching Texbooks math program because it allows me to very easily track each child's progress and it gives us the freedom to purchase one particular level and use it for multiple children over the course of several different years. It is also super easy to go in and have them rework a particular lesson if they are having difficulty mastering the material. (We like to get a 90 or above before moving on the next lesson.)
Well, that about wraps it up for today's Summer School post. These are just some of the resources that we have found to be helpful and safe for our family to use as our children grow and begin to explore the world of technology that is all around them.
I hope you have found this to be helpful and I would love to hear what some of your family's favorite apps and computer programs that you incorporate into your daily learning.

Winters Flat Primary School has claimed two prestigious accolades from the 2016 Premier's Sustainability Awards.
Local member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards today joined the school community at Winters Flat Primary to congratulate the school on winning big, including the highest award in the program – the Premier's Recognition Award.
The awards acknowledge the school's achievements through their Students Leading Change WFPS Sustainability Program which aimed to reduce their carbon footprint by incorporating sustainable practices within the school and community.
Students are encouraged to undertake sustainability initiatives that reduce waste, water and energy consumption.
Over the last year, the school saved 1.18 million litres of water, reduced their energy consumption from 56,023kwh to 42,893kwh and increased their habitat score from 42 in 2014 to 55 in 2015.
The school has also increased its biodiversity by working with their local council on waste projects, planting a Bird Scope and Bush Tucker garden, along with many other sustainable initiatives.
The school joined the Victorian Government's ResourceSmart Schools program in 2012 and was the first school in the Loddon Mallee region to achieve 5 Star Certification. The school was also crowned ResourceSmart School of the Year in 2015.
Quotes attributable to Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards
"Winters Flat Primary School is leading by example on how young people can learn and adapt sustainable initiatives into their everyday routines."
"I'd like to congratulate the fantastic students and teachers at the school on this award, which recognises all their hard work on making their school and local community more sustainable."
"These students are champions of change – they are taking action to make their school and their planet a more sustainable and enjoyable place to be."
"I'm proud that we can acknowledge and encourage such great work. Congratulations to the entire school community on these awards."

Editor's note: Second in a four-part series looking back at post-quake efforts in Haiti as Utahns and the LDS Church rushed to help provide humanitarian aid.
SALT LAKE CITY — Three months after Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake, the numbers seem overwhelming — a death toll climbing toward a projected 300,000 and a million or more Haitians homeless.
Humanitarian relief efforts by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have resulted in equally considerable totals — more than a million pounds of food delivered and another half-million pounds of additional relief supplies provided.
And temporary shelters built through LDS-sponsored efforts? Just five.
More than 1,000 times that many Haitians took refuge after the quake in tents and on blankets on LDS meetinghouse grounds throughout Port-au-Prince.
Five shelters — it certainly wasn't from a lack of desire or effort.
Nor is it any different than what other charity and relief NGOs — non-governmental organizations — are experiencing in Haiti, said Lynn Samsel, the LDS Church's director of humanitarian emergency response and community services.
"It's a challenge not just for us — it's something every NGO and relief organization is struggling with there," said Samsel, citing the Red Cross' projections to build 50,000 small shelters in Port-au-Prince; they've constructed about 1,000 to date.
After spending five days in Haiti soon after the quake, he returned last month for two weeks to oversee the anticipated building of hundreds of shelters for families recommended by local LDS bishops after meeting certain criteria.
One key stipulation — proving ownership of a parcel of property at least 11 feet by 14 feet or having permission from the actual owner to reside for a minimum of two years.
Employing local cash-for-work crews, Samsel and LDS humanitarian officials were ready to start building the simple shelters — each one 9 feet wide by 12 feet wide, with a tin roof, a double-layer of tarp on all four sides and, if possible, a poured-concrete floor.
Seemingly simplistic, they were more stable and secure than some shelters built by other organizations. And considerably more stable compared to Port-au-Prince's bloated "tent cities" — tents and shacks crudely crafted from blankets, tarps, cardboard, tin and boards.
Once ready to start, the LDS effort faced hurdle after hurdle.
The availability of building supplies was consistently inconsistent — one day, no lumber; the next, no hardware — and so on.
The greatest challenge was a lack of appropriate or ready property — some still buried in debris, some inaccessible because of surrounding rubble, some threatened by unstable neighboring structures, and some without proper ownership or permission.
The church has since hired a local building contractor to oversee future efforts while continuing to donate to other NGOs, such as International Relief and Development, which is building multi-shelter communities on open properties.
Soon after Haiti's quake, the LDS Church began its blitz of food and relief supplies and sent its first-ever volunteer team of doctors and nurses — 14 specializing in trauma, orthopedics and emergency care — to provide early response medical aid.
Besides trying to provide shelter, the church's primary focuses are establishing a bishop's storehouse to store and distribute provisions and aiding in employment opportunities.
The LDS Church has property and plans to build a bishop's storehouse in Haiti, but the Freres neighborhood land is still housing some 360 homeless, with the meetinghouse grounds now clear of temporary residents.
Deploying an employment specialist and small management staff, the church has established an office in the Centrale Ward meetinghouse that works with bishops to pair individuals with prospective basic-wage jobs, such as the United Nations-sponsored cash-for-work program and groups like Catholic Relief Services and MercyCorps.
Other efforts include working with other NGOs to restart a projected 100 businesses that existed prior to the quake and to foster new businesses.
Another partnership program provides mentoring to would-be employees, as the church "hires" — or pays — individuals during a short training period while a business provides training and job experience for that company or its industry in general.
Still, assistance and aid seem to crawl in a country where even before the quake infrastructure was lacking and the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished economy struggled to meet the demands of a population exceeding 9 million.
"It's a unique situation — there's nothing to compare it to," said Samsel, who then did just that by matching it against the February earthquake in Concepcion, Chile — a quake of considerably greater magnitude resulting in much less destruction.
The use of quality construction materials and practices coupled with an adherence to current seismic codes kept Concepcion damage primarily to older homes and one much-photographed apartment building. While an estimated 500,000 residents were left homeless, others in Concepcion and in neighboring cities were able to assist.
Much of Chile's ensuing relief needs were met internally, with only a small portion of the LDS Church's offered assistance being requested.
"In Haiti, it was the entire city [of Port-au-Prince] — there was no part of the city not touched nor damaged," said Samsel, adding, "In Haiti, everybody was in the same boat."
LDS aid
Since Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake, the LDS Church estimates it has delivered more than 1 million pounds of food — most shipped from the United States and the Dominican Republic, augmented with some purchased locally.
The church estimates it also sent an additional half-million pounds in other relief supplies.
The totals do not include additional supplies — such as hygiene kits, tents, blankets and medical supplies — given to other charity- or relief-based non-government organizations (NGOs) in Haiti.
Through the first eight post-quake weeks alone, LDS Emergency Services shipped the equivalent of 55 truckloads of relief supplies to Port-au-Prince, including:
894,592 pounds of food
16,070 water-filtration bottles
104,924 hygiene kits
11,760 blankets
4,300 first-aid kits
2,711 tents
2,400 tarps
600 quilts
25 medical-supply modules
