Poet "the Pyro"
Throughout the Internet, a great many resources exist on an immense variety of topics. Some purport expertise in Survival – a sign you should instantly recognize as a red-flag.
Survival is not a topic, nor a way of life. It's a measure of adaptability. Casually discussion of methods of starting fires, building shelters, procuring clean water and food is the academic tantamount to describing the process of surgery without having ever seen a scalpel.
For this reason, I intend to write a series on Practical Survival. This will not be geared towards the rugged woodsman who knows just how difficult it is to survive off the land – it's written with an intended audience of the layman who knows little or nothing outside the modern First World.
As a matter of course, this primer is here to assist you in practicing these skills over time. It is not a reference to draw upon when suddenly needed. Without a practical, hands-on approach, it like all others, will fail you when you need them. This is no different than exercise; in order to build a level of fitness, you must use your free time to condition yourself.
The first step in developing your skills, is to begin building a database in your mind that you can draw upon. So, what is survival, really?
It's the maintenance of systems. It's the integration of respiration and consumption with a balance of heat energy. Remove one of the above and it becomes very difficult to survive. The "Key Concept" here is the Survival Saw, or as it's sometimes known, the Rule of 3's:
A human being is said to be able to survive for:
While these numbers represent an "average," it's important to note that your ability to function diminishes significantly after the first third of any given requisite, and thus plan accordingly.
Because this guide is meant to be a practical means to developing a skill set, we're going to focus first on the issue of creating a means of survival for the "medium term" – meaning something that once complete needs maintenance, but does not require that we start completely over each time – if managed correctly. Combined with a shelter which will be discussed in Part II, a fire is one of the most practical survival tools in your personal toolbox. Please keep in mind that this primer is geared for a "semi-primitive" environment - not an advanced discussion of severely austere conditions.
During human history, several innovations have led to the ability of humans to adapt their environment to them, rather than the other way around. The definitive moment for human-kind was the mastery of fire. Plainly put, fire is a change in state that results in the release of energy: Oxygen is used to facilitate the rapid oxidation of the material being burned, and the resulting energy is given as heat. This heat is used to minimize the impact of environmental conditions, such as cold, improper or non-existent shelter, bacteria in our food and water, et cetera.
The ability to build a fire from "scratch" using a bow drill, fireboard, or any other measure is a subject that would require significantly more time and effort than is practical for "most" people – therefore, we're going to approach this from the perspective that you have several items that you should keep in your first line gear – in other words, things you carry every day:
As you develop your skills, it's prudent to adjust the level of difficulty accordingly. What we want to avoid is an overwhelming experience which leaves you with no room to improve.
So, what do we need to make fire?
The challenge is combining the three in a way that creates enough heat to maintain a even, consistent burn without running out of material. So, with that in mind, the first objective in fire building is site selection. When determining or assembling the area in which you will build your fire, take a moment to make the following considerations:
It's time to get your material together.
First and foremost – the most important ingredient: Patience. If you're not patient, and don't pace yourself, you'll find yourself wasting time and material -- two things we don't have in great excess during emergencies. Manage both wisely.
This is when observation and experience really become paramount. For example, in the Pacific Northwest, things are "wet" almost all the time. However, this doesn't mean that all things are retaining water. Searching around the base of trees can provide dry tinder, thin dry sticks, and so forth. As we look for materials with which to build our fire, a simple way to think about it is:
This semi-prioritized list considers the material's size in relation to its order in the fire-building process. It will take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to gather as much wood as you'll need simply for one day, but to get started, your selection should look something like the photo above.
A good way of determining how suitable any of this material is for fire starting is checking to see if it twists or shouts – when you try and break it, does it snap audibly, or does it just twist around? Leave the twisters and take the ones which break. They contain less moisture and are more suitable for this process.
Things to avoid: (This is in bold because it's almost as important as things to look for.)
Next, assemble the dry, fibrous tinder for the tinder ball, which is essential to starting a fire without a lighter or magnesium (as was done for these photos). Once you've collected your material, take the dry, fibrous grasses, or dry bark and shred it.
Your tinder ball should be the size of a major-league baseball, or roughly the size of your hands held together as fists. This is no small amount of material, especially before you shred it, but you'll need quite a lot, as this process is very dependent on your skill at balancing the Fuel/Air/Heat triangle.
I try to find a curved piece of bark to hold the material as I set it alight; this accomplishes several things:
You can make an effective tinder ball from shredded, dry grass, and dry pine needles, with "toothpicks and pencil stick" sized kindling laid atop– they will not burn if you just leave them like this; it's just for ease of setting the fire up once your tinder is burning. If you've found some dry wood, take shavings and add it into the mix:
This finely shaven material should be kept dry – in this case, I'm shaving it into a napkin which will be kept in a pocket until I'm ready to combine it into the tinder ball.
Once you've assembled your tinder ball, and have your wood material handy, set the tinder alight – if you use magnesium, take care, as it burns very hot, and very bright. The first challenge here is managing the air flow while not smothering the fire or blowing it out. Don't blow from your cheeks, blow from your lips. This will manage the air flow into a nice, even stream and won't overwhelm the combustion process. Oh yeah, if you're not laying belly-down in the dirt, you probably will be before long, so don't wear your Sunday-go-to-town clothes.
Your burning tinder ball should end up looking something like the photo at right:
Now that you've got it to this point, don't give up – the task is not finished! It may not continue to burn freely, and you might end up relighting it several times. If you're using matches, use them as fuel. If you have hand sanitizer, check it for alcohol. If it has it, it'll burn. Same thing with wax and Vaseline. This is the "sun" of your universe – everything else will orbit this component, so make sure it's strong.
More important than flame is heat. If there is a good amount of heat coming from it, it's time to start setting the fire up, and there are a few different thoughts on how to accomplish this, but we're going to use the "teepee method." In contrast, the "hut" or "cabin" method disallows access to the interior component of your tinder, tends to collapse (which disrupts the heat distribution), and typically works poorly with smaller pieces of kindling.
The toothpick- and pencil-sized material is assembled as a circular base, which concludes in a single point atop the tinder. This directs the fire into a single point, which means your heat transfer is directional, and therefore somewhat controlled. Also, you can build upon this basic foundation – adding larger pieces in the same way until the fire is mature. As the fire becomes more stable, the lean-to method works very well, and that's how I prefer to set up my fires. For me, it's yielded the best results. This picture is difficult to see, because the larger sticks around the exterior appear to be much bigger than they are – the one on the right is actually just bark being used as a fire-reflector – directing the heat back inward. In the center there, you can see smoke – and over the top, a scavenged piece of cardboard I'd found from some road debris, which was used in this case to protect the fire from the rain.
Continually add oxygen to your fire now that it is at this stage. As your fire begins to generate more heat, it will cause the surrounding sticks to warm and ultimately burn. A better picture of the teepee below:
This shows the fire in the "growth" stage – at this point, it is burning unaided and will continue to burn until it is extinguished, or it runs out of fuel or oxygen. Use this opportunity to scavenge more wood from an area outside your camp.
It's important to gather plenty of wood in the "pre-fire" stage – you do not want to have to continually expend calories getting up, scavenging , dropping back down (and getting cold) in a chaotic sequence, never really accomplishing anything. You'll lose energy and heat, both of which are critical for survival.
So, to recap:
This concludes this very brief tutorial on starting a fire during wet weather.
The next topic in "Practical Survival Skill 101" will be Filtering Water. Now that we have a fire, we can filter and boil water to make it potable for cooking.

Thanks Aaron. great tutorial. Im going to print this one off and keep it in mile 3 ring binder for future reference.
I was wondering when we'd get Aaron in on the What Should I Do seres. Bravo! Looking forward to the next installment...
Viva -- Sager
Great post!
From my days as a Cub Scout leader---
Pine cones burn really well, and here in the southeast they are very easy to find; I guess they would be pencil size.
If you know you are going to be out making fires, you can make your own starter in advance with dryer lint and/or parrafin. Some people add sawdust to the wax. That way you can start a fire even if you have some moisture problems,. You should have some waterproof matches in the emergency kit--you can make those by dipping the tips in that same parrafin, and keeping them in a dry place.
Scouts are careful with kids and fire. Firebuilding is a great skill to know, but leaving kids with a fire is a judgement call based on their maturity and whether they can be trusted to follow instructions. They have rules from clearing the site to properly extinguishing the coals. You don't want to burn down the woods.
Aaron, thanks for the informative post. I want to try this today (I'm going to cheat and use my new fire pit, though) but it is very windy. Any ideas regarding dealing with (or utilizing) wind in the process?
Thanks again....Jeff
Aaron, I was excitied to see you're doing a survival 101 series! This is great information, and I look forward to the rest of your series!
Thanks Aaron, good stuff!
Here's an add on to the pine cone.
My Dad told me if you are ever lost in the woods and (first and foremost) have a means to start a fire, go find some "pine knots" to help get the fire going to keep you warm, cook with, etc.
In the Southeast US where we have lots of pine trees, "Pine knots" are an excellent fuel to a small fire to a larger one. Dead pine trees concentrate their sap in interior wood as they decay. Ultimately, the pine you find in the piney woods on and in the ground with the most resin resists decay for a very long time.
You will sometimes find what you think is a rotten pine log with the core being excellent fuel. With a large knife or hatchet you can split "pine knots" in to toothpick size, pencil size, and broom handles.
I prefer to use these to start a campfire, and then use other dry wrist size wood to maintain the fire.
Good article, Thank you. You mentioned a lighter in your gear. I believe man invented a better mousetrap with the disposable lighter. Yes, matches have their place. I am a non-smoker, but I keep a Bic in all of my bags, vests and coats. I spent a number of years in far remote Alaska and used a Bic often, it lights wet or cold, with few exceptions. Look forward to the rest of your articles. Thanks again.
When starting a fire, birch bark burns like a meth lab. As you hike, gather some and put it in your pocket. Note the location of birch trees as you move around.
Dry tinder (toothpicks and pencils) can be found on the dead brances of white pines.
Aaron, Great topic and post!
I have been saving all my used lighters ever since hearing how to make a prison match.
Prison Match by Trent Hardy
If your lighter runs out of fuel or you've only got a spark, you can make a "prison match" with a square of toilet paper, or tissue or even birch bark and your cotton socks. Pick a bunch of lint of your socks or shirt or whatever, then roll it into a loose bundle and wrap it into a piece of tissue - shaped like a match. Put the end of the lint to the lighter and start making a spark. It should catch after a couple of tries. I actually tried this one with a good bit of success.
Also, if you're gonna take a lighter with ya. Screw all those fancy "light up in a hurricane, or torrential downpour" gimmicks. Just scatter a few bic disposables through you pack. If they get wet, it's just a matter of rolling it back and forth across your pants half a dozen times and the flint will be dry enough to light again. Plus, if you lose it your out what a buck?
I actually saw this on SurvivorMan, so gotta give him creds.
(The link has other survival topics as well)
Thanks Aaron for the inspiration.
It's pouring rain today here and your post makes me want to go outside and try out my somewhat rusty wet-weather fire starting skills.
I've found that beginners tend to err on the side of having too few tinder, matchstick and pencil sized pieces spaced too far apart (too much air space between each stick). In this case no one burning piece is close enough to another to heat it sufficiently to ignite.
Also the bark of the paper birch tree is excellent for starting fire in wet weather due to the combustible oils in it. Thinner pieces will ignite from matchstick sized sticks or even a burning tinder bundle and thicker chunks will ignite from burning pencil wood or perhaps matchsticks. It's a good idea to grab a piece of birch bark when you see it and keep it in a pocket or bag so it's there when you need it.
Finally, a sturdy knife where the piece of metal that comprises the blade extends all the way through the handle, is quite useful for splitting thumb to wrist sized woods into smaller pieces. Simply hold the stick vertically with the knife blade resting on top and pound it with another sturdy wrist-sized stick. Of course a knife also useful for whittling away wet outer layers.
Thanks for the article. We recently installed a wood burning stove and had no previous experience using one. I started learnig 'how to' with a short article from Mother Earth News and recently discovered this on line free book that has been a great additional guide to the experience of actually using the stove.
FYI we purchased a Drolet Pyropak from Northern Tool it was reasonably priced and works great. Our only difficulty was locating an installer willing to install a stove you hadn't purchased from him.
Great work Aaron.....
The rest of you....hurry up!
Great article, Aaron. An important subject that is often overlooked. One cannot stress enough the necessity for patience in assembling the tinder and fluff for fire starting. This is real important when you're in a tight spot and in a hurry. Get a decent pile sorted by size and then when you think you have enough, go get some more.
Over the years I've tried the magnesium fire starters as a back up to matches. I finally adopted flint and steel, like the fur traders of yore, as my "go to" method for starting a fire. Much quicker than magnesium and more reliable too, once you get the hang of it.. My grandkids picked up the skill in less than five minutes.
This summer I taught wilderness survival to Boy Scouts for a merit badge and we covered emergency fire starting. It was a humbling experience. Everything looks easy when reading about it in the book, but during actual live practice we learned firsthand that the subtleties can make or break you. Some real-world examples:
1) Dryer lint: maybe this worked in the 60's when everyone wore 100% cotton. Nowadays there are a lot of synthetic fibers in your lint that will smolder but not burn. Also, if you have a pet, your lint may be turn out to be 50% animal hair that again will smolder but not ignite.
2) Magnifying glass: We tried eyeglasses and a 2 inch magnifying glass with no success. Not to worry, we switched to a 4"x3" Fresnel lens FROM A SURVIVAL KIT. Again no luck. Even though it was clear sunny day, the lenses we used could not gather and concentrate enough sun. Our estimate is you will need at least a 5" to 6" glass to gather and focus enough sun power for ignition. We had previously read that the bottom of a soda can could be polished and used to focus rays, and although we did not try this, I now have some doubts that this method can gather enough sun rays.
3) Steel wool: We used a new 9V battery that would cause the steel to glow orange (not yellow) and ignition was almost impossible to achieve. We later learned that #3 steel wool is too thick and you really need to use #00 or #000 steel wool.
4) Flint: when striking a flint the sparks spread out in every direction except towards the tinder. So in reality maybe 1-2 will actually go where you need them and the other 99% don't count. On the plus side, a flint worked REALLY well with cotton balls dipped in vaseline.
5) Tinder: A spark is crucial and so are pencil-sized wood, but the main thing is the TINDER. We looked high and low for dry tinder -- anything from the ground is almost by definition going to be damp (due to moisture evaporating from the soil). Even when we found bone dry rotted wood, it was REALLY hard to ignite it with a flint -- after 30 minutes we were dripping sweat all over it which was counter productive.
6) Fire bow: We had 3 groups of boys try this using a fire bow with some pre-made parts (cordage and the spindle). They were able to get the point of the spindle hot but not glowing red. And this was not sufficient to light any fires.
The point of all the preceding is that you must TRY what you read and only based on EXPERIENCE can you then adapt it to make it workable.
I would agree with several other posters in this thread -- scatter a handful of mini-BIC lighters throughout your gear. Why struggle to perfect esoteric skills that, with some forethought, you can simply buy for $1?
Jeffz - Flint doesn't work by throwing sparks on the tinder. You have to have char cloth, which is ignited by the sparks from sriking flint against steel. Once an ember is in the char cloth, it is virtually impossible to extinguish, unless you douse it in water. The ember in the char cloth is then used to ignite the tinder. I too taught survival skills in the Boy Scouts. My troop used flint and steel when competing with other troops, who used matches, in fire starting and water boiling contests. My troop won more often than they did not. Of course, the secret to that was confidence stemming from practice, and most importantly, gathering plenty of tinder before they even tried to strike a fire.
Aaron, an intrigueing comment you made in your excellent article that grabbed me was "Are there tactical or situational factors that make a high visibility fire a liability?"
An issue like that probably merits an article all by itself. There are situations when a fire will cause more trouble than the comfort it will provide. In certain situations, you want to avoid broadcasting your whereabouts and you want to avoid inviting troublemakers into your camp. Here are some preventive measures that I might take if I found myself in a dicey situation. Would really like to hear from others on this subject:
1. Don't depend on a fire to keep warm. Use a fire only for cooking meals and put it out immediately when finished cooking.
2. Living and sleeping quarters should be several hundred feet from any cooking fire. If an animal is drawn to the smells, or an uninvited human to the smoke or firelight, at least they won't find you sitting there with impaired night vision due to the light of the fire.
3. Build your fire slowly, and only to the degree required to cook your meal. This will minimize smoke, which can be seen and smelled for long distances. Build fires only in heavily vegetated areas to limit visual line of sight and to disperse smoke.
4. Carry a back packer stove for cooking in those instances where a fire might not be a good idea. Otherwise, be prepared for a "cold camp" with no fire at all.
Good post Aaron. I've just started learning to make fires in my woodstove. It takes some practice to get a fire burning right. And I don't know what we would do without fire. The other night I came home and my furnace was not running, temperature had dropped inside the house to 55. Without panicking, I got the woodstove going while I tracked someone down to fix the oil furnace. This is good stuff. My firepit will be ready in the spring to try this out. Thanks again!
...and for inspiration it wouldn't hurt to read (or re-read) "To Build a Fire" by Jack London...
Great stuff! A couple of years ago I got intrigued by fire pistons. They're interesting technology that makes fire using air compression just like a diesel engine. I worked out my own design (they're pretty simple and there are lots of designs on the Internet) and keep a few around in kits for firemaking. I've never messed with fire drills or such -- I should do that just to add the skills.
The point about practising on the woodstove is a good one. I use a fire piston to get the woodstove going, partly to stay in practice, partly for the fun of it (kids and fire, eh!) and partly because I can brag about how this fire piston that took me five bucks to build just saved me a five-cent match.
My fire kit looks like this:
I want to have as many options available as possible. I'm also exploring small stoves that use wood, such as Worldstove's "Beaner" stove, and small fan-forced wood cookstoves. Having a fire for heat is good. Containing that fire in a way that lets you cook or melt snow over it is also good.
Looking forward to more!
Just want to say this is a great article and I look forward to your future posts.
Thanks much. Two thumbs up! Looking forward to more!
Greetings all!
I've been waiting for an excuse to rejoin the many conversations here on CM. I took a sabatical earlier this year when I bought a place in Alaska- took a lot of time learning new "northern" skills and starting the prep work on the property- so didn't have much time for the community here.....Great to be back though!
Great stuff Aaron, as usual.
One trick I learned from one of my new-found friends, when trying to start a fire to burn off some of the slash from lot clearing when it was constantly drizzling. This is a kind of "boat-breaks-down-in-a-remote-area" scenario. This supposes you have a bit of gasoline on hand. No problem you say. Well, folks have been known to throw gallons of gas on a pile of sticks and still not have a mature fire to show for it. So, cut one of your soda cans in half, bury the bottom half in the dirt and put a few ounces of gas in it. Build the tee-pee over it and light the gas. It won't explode, but will rather burn for a real long time, enough to get your fire going great. I was amazed at how useful this was- providing you have gas.....what an incredible gift, eh?
A medicine bottle filled with petroleum product-soaked cotton balls and a magnesium stick is definately basic equipment! Thanks to all for posting your great tips!
Sager- a second on the Jack London story! I was thinking the same thing. Get chills just thinking about that story.
Aloha, Steve
Wow, and I just realized I joined CM exactly 2 years and 51 minutes ago! Thanks Chris, staff, and all you fellow posters who bring such value and community to my life! Aloha, Steve.
Excellent article.
For wet conditions, I have also used cotton wool balls soacked in vaseline and a fire steel to get things moving. It burns very hot for long enough to dry out tinder/kindling. If trekking, I normally carry 5 or 6 presoaked balls in a small platic bag.

Out of curiosity, which area of AK did you buy your property? We live in Palmer in the Mat-su Valley, and I do remote work in the Delta Junction/Fort Greely area. The only other CM'ers I know here are PlicketyCat and Gungnir, but they are far away (a few hours west of Fairbanks).
What Aaron says about the Pacific NW applies to much of Alaska too... plenty of stuff to burn, but it's usually wet. The panhandle and Aleutian chain is probably the worst, but parts of Southcentral Alaska are consistently wet too. I've never used the gas in a soda can method, but it sounds interesting. Every time I've been camping there's been no shortage of birch around, and never had enough problems getting a fire going to where we were tempted to break out the gasoline.
And I just want to second what LG said... I don't smoke but I always carry a lighter with me, and keep a couple disposable Bics in my car and emergency bags. These things are just so handy, cheap, and small there's no reason not to have some scattered around in your car, house, and on your person. I have a couple magnesium/striker units in the emergency bags, but that's for last resort. I've started a fire with one of those just to try it out, but really I'd rather just use a lighter and save time. As Aaron has shown just getting everything in place to build up a proper fire and keep it going for hours takes enough time and effort, and if I'm in any sort of emergency situation I want to keep things as simple as possible. I leave the more primitive firestarting methods for when we're camping and have a lot of time to fart around

I was smitten by the people and beauty (and relatively affordable land prices) of Prince of Wales Island. Just a summer spot for now....I hear they're getting maybe 7 hours of daylight these days....but you know about that, eh? Anybody know how Gungnir and PC are doing? Didn't they have a blog detailing their adventures? Happy Holidays to all! Aloha, Steve.
Wow, you're quite a ways away. Never been to Prince of Wales Island myself, but I'd like to see it one of these days. PC and Gungnir still have their blog (http://www.jenninewardle.com/) and are still chugging along. Give their blog a look, they update it pretty regularly.
(I wish they were close enough to visit and see their place for myself, but they're over 10 hours away from Palmer and over 6 hours from my work location. This state can be overwhelmingly big sometimes).

Thank you for a great article! I am more motivated to practice with my flint and steel now. What do you mean by first line gear? Is there a second line? Maybe this is coming in another article. I always carry a headlamp, matches, jackknife w/scissors in my purse but is that enough?

Tao Yanam gave a short speech on the topic 'Importance of International Mother Language Day in the North-Eastern region of the country'. She recalled , how the Bangladeshi people struggled to get recognition of Bengali language as an official language instead of Urdu. How people died for Mother language. In this regard she described the role of UNESCO to declare the day 21 February as 'International Mother Language Day' to promote the preservation & protection of all languages in the earth. She Mentioned, 'Now a days the tribal languages are endangered because of dominance of western culture. That's why this is the day to realize the importance of mother language. We have to take an oath to protect our own culture & heritage.' At the end of the programme a Nyishi song was performed by the students Taba Yakar,Yowa Jiri,Taba Yopu,Tassar Ania, Bengia sumpi, Nabam Yalam,Taba Nania, Reshmajyoti Nath & Nich Yaha. Two teachers of VKV NEEPCO Yazali , Chayan Sarkar & Prasanta Puzari used various musical instruments to add the beauty of the song.

In this week's Digital Distractions, senior UX designer James Reece – a member of the BIMA Hot 100 – explains how breaking down boundaries produces the best digital results…
Have you heard the one about the UX designer, front-end dev and copywriter who went into a bar? They had a friendly pint together, chatted pleasantly about work and nothing untoward happened.
Not laughing? Well, you clearly aren't an old UX hand, as the notion of such a peaceful carry-on ever happening would have elicited snorts of incredulous mirth around here just a few years ago.
Back then, UX design, editorial and technology teams were siloed and distant, working largely in isolation with minimal collaboration. It was a model that stemmed from the era of industrial product design – where every detail had to be nailed down before sending it off to be manufactured. After this point, change could not happen because it was far too costly – a design change made to a physical product could mean that new manufacturing tools had to be created or factory staff needed to be retrained.
But the nature of digital means that magic can happen where various disciplines intersect. With increasingly complex technical possibilities and ever-inflating consumer expectations, a holistic approach to digital projects is key to ensure the best possible results. This is because today, more than ever, technology is the experience.
Much of my best work as a designer has been produced when working on ideas closely with developers. For example, the design of an app interface went way beyond what I could have conceived alone when a developer took my idea and gave it steroids, manipulating data to create a more dynamic version of the design on the fly. By having different mindsets to collaborate with, lateral thinking flows.
Concepts such as agile, minimum viable product and continual improvement show that, in digital, change is good and to be embraced rather than avoided
It took the digital world a while to realise that it didn't have to follow the old model and, as our industry has matured, we've learned to love one of the fundamental benefits of our digital medium; it has a fluidity that doesn't exist in industrial design. Ideas can be tested and iterated with marketplace feedback quickly and regularly. Concepts such as agile, minimum viable product and continual improvement show that in digital, change is good and to be embraced rather than avoided.
This contemporary thinking has led to a collaboration between skillsets that is becoming more important than ever, as the challenges of today involve working with concepts such as machine learning, chatbots, VR and the integration of complex data sources. User interfaces are disappearing and leaving technology itself to be the experience, without being masked by a design facade. Services such as Google Assistant and Amazon Echo are examples of a technology-first, design-second world – and in this world, collaboration is the watchword.
As an example, let's look at creating a chatbot interface. Here, technology is the beating heart of the service. Next, UX design plays the role of ensuring that the experience of the technology feels human and matches the user's needs. Editorial teams then devise the technology's 'personality' – Google hired a team of writers from places such as A-grade storytellers Pixar and the satirical website The Onion to help make their Assistant feel funny and emphatic. Visual designers add the delightful details – for example, tell the Google Assistant you're bored and it serves you up a fun game to kill some time.
We all know that technology isn't getting simpler, so it's key that digital teams truly understand it in order to devise the right solutions. But to do this we must collaborate: with UX design, editorial and technology experts all working as one to create a technology-led experience, the kind that makes consumers feel weak at the knees.
In the words of Jony Ive: "You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential." In digital, only through collaboration of disciplines can we achieve this level of understanding.
Oh, and obviously having a pint in the pub is usually more fun if you've got a couple of like-minded colleagues with you…

If your Asus V80 phone is locked you should usually see an error message of some type. A lot of these messages vary based on your handset manufacturer. These are some examples ;
- "Enter restriction code" or "SIM card rejected"
- "Enter special code" or "Enter Subsidy code"
- "Enter Correct SIM"
- "Incorrect SIM"
- "Invalid Network SIM…Enter Code"
- "Invalid SIM"
- "Phone disabled ! NETWORK LOCK"
- "Invalid Network SIM"
Should you not have access to a SIM card from another service provider then there exists a less scientific technique to use to verify if your Asus V80 phone is locked. Simply just look to find out if your carrier has placed their company logo on your Asus V80 phone somewhere. Just to illustrate in the UK orange usually lock their phones and they usually "badge" their Asus V80 phones with their very own Orange logo possibly on the front part or the back of the Asus V80 phone.
Asus V80 PUK Codes
PUK is short for Personalized unblocking Code. You should enter it if you have typed your personal pin code incorrect. This acts as a security feature on your Asus V80 phone. If you do not have your PUK code , you should contact your service provider who can supply the PUK code after several security checks.

The Financial Crisis And The Bible
Contributed by Michael Russell on Jan 12, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: The application of some of the Old Testament law to the financial crisis - in particular, debt-related slavery and the prohibition on charging interest.
The financial crisis and the bible
This year, you could barely read the news without a mention of the financial crisis. Some of the jokes summed it up well: With the current market turmoil, what's the easiest way to make a small fortune? Start off with a large one. How do you define optimism? A banker who irons five shirts on a Sunday. I was a funds manager for three years in a former stage of life, so I understand the financial world a little. So I'm hoping I can help us to understand how the financial crisis relates to the bible.
Let me start with a short summary of what's happened. Years of good times led to lots of companies and individuals borrowing heavily, throughout the world. They were expecting good times to continue, so they kept borrowing, and kept spending and kept investing. In America, many borrowers took out home loans which they could not afford. They assumed they could sell or refinance their homes after their home went up in value. But when the boom finished, and house prices went down, the borrowers could not refinance. As a result, many borrowers could not make their payments. They defaulted.
These widespread defaults caused many banks to get into trouble or to fail. Finally, when really big banks such as Bear Stearns and Lehmann Brothers failed, the US government was forced to step in, to make sure the banking system itself did not fall apart.
For everyone else, these events in America had an impact. Banks everywhere became much less willing to lend, and they leant at much higher interest rates. As a result, many firms throughout the world were in trouble, especially those that heavily relied on borrowings. This in turn led to what we call recession in many parts of the world.
Now what does the bible have to say about all this? Is there any wisdom we can gain, either wisdom for the nation or for us as individuals? Yes, I think there's a lot. However, as you were reading some of what the bible says, you might have been thinking - this is crazy stuff; no charging interest to your countrymen, Deuteronomy 23! Cancelling countrymen's debts at the end of every seven years, Deuteronomy 15? No permanent land sales outside the city - you get your land back every 50 years, even if you've sold it, Leviticus 25! Up to six years of servitude instead of bankruptcy - not slavery, but complusory work nonetheless Deuteronomy 15:12-18! This is so radical, some will say it's stupid. Are we really going to gain anything from the bible with ideas like these, you might think?
Well let me start with a few comments about applying the Old Testament, and then we'll see what we gain. See, God gave many laws to his Old Testament people. The laws were of different kinds with different purposes. Some laws pointed the Jews towards Jesus. They got the Jews ready to accept the Messiah when he came. Examples of such laws were the ones about sacrificing animals in the temple - these are laws which we needn't follow today. Second, there were laws like 'Do not murder' - laws which should be applied to everyone and can be applied directly to us today. Finally, there were laws related to the running of the nation Israel. For example, they had laws about how many horses the king should have, or the importance of city walls in land sales. These laws need not and can not be applied by a modern country - for example, we don't have city walls. But they will have wisdom from which modern countries can learn.
So what do we make of the financial laws in the Old Testament? I want to take up two of the key Old Testament laws, and show how ignoring them has led to our recent financial crisis. You can find a whole lot more than I'll be able to say in this book, "Jubilee Manifesto", edited by Michael Schluter. What I'm saying is in large part taken from this book.
First, notice that the Old Testament pushes us to take repayment of loans very seriously. If you borrow money, you need to pay it back. It's quite simple. So, a borrower could be forced to work for someone up to six years to repay his debts. Let me read from Deuteronomy 15 verse 12: 12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free. 13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed. Now be clear on what this means. The reason they might sell themselves to you is to pay back their debt to you. The modern alternative to this is bankruptcy. But 6 years service is clearly more demanding. The Old Testament takes repayment of loans very seriously.

60,000 Hood Ornaments A Year
Unless and until we loose packs of wolves and hyenas into the woods of William Penn, the deer will keep doing what deer do naturally. Don't mistake it for some sort of Walt Disney nature film. "Bambi Does Northeast Pennsylvania" isn't so much a guide book as a memoir originally titled, "Bucks for Bucks."
We knock them a-hole over teakettle at the rate of 60,000 a year in Our Fair Commonwealth. The exceptions are the Old Order Amish, downstate, whose buggies never get to ramming speed. Generally, the deer power down and pace the horses, chatting with them as they clop along the dusty roads.
60k a year and we still have hunting season. One would think we're wiping out the beasts, yet they keep sipping wine in the candlelight after dropping Cialis.
The first day of hunting season is a holiday around here for the school kids. They aren't going to show up anyway, so why bother? Many of them grew up with hunting rifles and are out in the woods earlier than they usually get up for school (huh) and with less fuss (again, huh). Amendment 2a: Arm the deer, even it up.

Nowadays, material civilization has been progressing remarkably through outstanding improvements of science and its techniques.
First Chairman of JSHA
Dr.Hiroshi Takashima
Needless to say, memory and analyzing abilities are important, however, they do not include emotion, intuitive or creative powers. It could become possible to develop and use a so called computerized anger device to explain changes in emotions such as anger or sorrow. However, without the inclusion of the human factor, it would be impossible to define a clear line between animals and human beings, of which are driven by impulses and environmental factors.
We must especially think of the domain of the heart. Within the human heart lies the search for meanings, independent determination, responsibility, creation, creativity, deep impressions, discernment, faith, general understanding, and judging value. This is the essence of true humanity.
With such thinking, we cannot deny the tendency of scientific research to subdivide human existence. Therefore, we must go back to the dimensions of human beings which are the natural or existence realm and the spiritual realm.
There are various ways to approach educational, medical, law studies, economics, etc., all of which have commonalities in the spiritual dimensions of human beings. Specialists can also take the position of generalists in the dimensions of human beings. This is common ground for each and every research field.
The subject of the existence of human beings is difficult to be completely apprehended by each of the specialized sciences. Therefore, we have reached an agreement to establish a society of humanistic anthropology in order to discuss and study the spirit of human beings or the subject of human existence at the interdisciplinary level. Professionals and specialists from various fields of study and research agree that the issue of existence and it relationship to humanity is common and should be observed in depth.

Campfire Safety Tips/
Unusually hot and dry weather conditions, especially in the western states this season, require extra caution for campfires. For current fire warnings and fire-related weather watches use NOAA's interactive map here: NOAA National Weather Service Fire Weather
Under moderate fire-danger conditions campfires may be banned for dispersed camping but allowed in developed campgrounds. Under high fire-danger conditions even campgrounds may have restrictions against campfires and open flames. Please check for instructive signs in the campground or with your Campground Manager before you start your campfire.
Remember - a good firebuilder never needs gas or kerosene to start a fire.
Here are a few simple steps to building a safe campfire and how to safely put it out:

OK Holly, You owe Jordan (Goddess of Sewing) a prize.
She got it all right.
Here is the official answer:
Clearly Benbows yacht is named Thalia. What is the name of Benbows daughter? Not Gabrielle; for Gabrielles father would then own the Gabrielle. Not Lorna, for Gabrielle would then be Collingwoods daughter. So Benbows daughter is Rosalind; and Nelsons daughter owner of the Rosalind) is Gabrielle. So Lorna is the daughter of Colonel Drake.

Sunday, 28 December 2014 08:29 AM
The leader of one of Mexico's first anti-crime vigilante groups was arrested along with 26 supporters over a shootout that killed his son and 10 others, authorities said.
Hipolito Mora was taken in on an arrest warrant Saturday for "probable murder" in the bloody December 16 episode with a rival group, said the central government's special commissioner for Michoacan state, Alfredo Castillo.
Another 26 vigilantes were also apprehended for their involvement, he said.
Farmers and other civilians in the state first took up arms to form the groups in February 2013 claiming that local police were too incompetent or corrupt to protect them from local criminal gangs, especially the cult-like Knights Templar drug cartel.
Mora put up no resistance according to prosecutors as he was arrested for his involvement in the shootout between the two vigilante groups that turned on each other in La Ruana, a small community of some 10,000 people in the western state on Mexico's Pacific coast.
Mora, a farmer who organized one of La Ruana's two groups, and the rest of the detainees were transferred to a prison in Morelia, the state capital.
Six of Mora's followers, including his oldest son, died as well as five members of a rival vigilante group led by Luis Antonio Torres, alias "El Americano," who is also wanted for arrest and whose whereabouts are unknown.
Both leaders accuse each other of being members of drug cartels. Michoacan is a key trafficking area in the drug trade to the United States.
Mora was in prison from March to April, accused of killing two men loyal to Torres, but was released for lack of evidence.
In May self-defense groups accepted an offer from the government to become legal police units called rural forces.
The clash comes as Mexico is still grappling with the presumed murder of 43 students at the hands of a drug gang in the neighboring state of Guerrero.

text: A well-adapted model system to study aging of postmitotic mammalian cells is the analysis of the chronological life span of Saccharomyes cerevisiae, where the length of time that a population of non-dividing remains viable under stationary growth conditions is being monitored. In support of the free radical theory of aging, it has been shown that during chronological yeast aging, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate and cause damage to cellular macromolecules. However, neither the precise onset of oxidative damage nor the type(s) of ROS have been identified. Yet this knowledge is crucial to determine whether oxidative damage is cause or consequence of aging. Here we applied our highly sensitive global protein thiol trapping technique termed OxICAT to monitor and precisely quantify the extent of oxidative thiol modifications during chronological yeast aging. We found that during exponential growth, the vast majority of thiol-containing yeast proteins are reduced. The proteins maintain their reduced thiol status even upon challenge with high concentrations of physiological oxidants such as H2O2, superoxide and NO·, indicating that effective antioxidant systems exist that quickly restore the cellular redox balance. Most of the yeast proteins remain reduced for the first two days in stationary growth. Then, however, they rapidly accumulate in their thiol-oxidized state. At day 4 in stationary growth, most proteins with redox sensitive cysteines were fully oxidized, although more than 70% of yeast cells were still alive. This result strongly suggests that older yeast cells lose their capacity to maintain their cellular redox balance. To evaluate whether the onset of this redox collapse correlates with the life span of yeast cells, we cultivated our yeast strain in glucose-restricted medium, a caloric restriction (CR) treatment that significantly extends yeast life span. Under these conditions, we found that the onset of protein oxidation was significantly delayed suggesting that maintaining the cellular redox balance might indeed contribute to the life span of yeast. Clustering analysis of the affected proteins revealed only a few select proteins, whose thiol-oxidation substantially preceded the oxidation of all other proteins. One of these proteins was thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), a highly conserved key component of the cellular redox-balancing machinery, whose reduced redox status is essential for maintaining the redox status of other cellular proteins. This result agreed well with our conclusion that a collapse of the cellular redox balance causes the massive oxidation of redox-sensitive proteins. It remains now to be determined whether the premature oxidation of thioredoxin reductase is a programmed or ROS-induced process and whether it might represent one of the key events that trigger chronological aging in yeast cells.

I had enough. Of lecturers, of essays, of books and exams. I had enough of my worth only being measured by a grade on a piece of paper but after 16 years of full time education I knew no different. One night I was scrolling through Facebook, avoiding a barrage of emails from tutors when I saw an advert from an au pair website looking for British girls. I decided that it wouldn't harm me to sign up and see what it was all about. And well that is how I ended up moving to Athens.
My first few days on the website was filled with updating my profile and making myself look appealing to families. In my personal statement I spoke about babysitting family friends and my brother, my charity work and my involvement in British politics. These families aren't looking for people with childcare qualifications and a BA in education studies. They're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, who wants to learn about their culture and becoming part of their family.
I started to speak to families from Poland, China, Russia, France and Italy and none of them quite fit. Some of the fathers seemed very pushy and many just wanted a cheap babysitter or to show off to their friends that they had an au pair. I really wanted a European family with a little girl or two who really wanted me to become part of their family. I ended up interviewing with seven families: two Italian, one French, one German, one Polish, one Greek and one Chinese.
To sum up the German and Polish interviews: the families just were not for me. The Polish family simply didn't pay enough for wanted. They wanted a full time nanny for around £60 a month. And well, I remembered my distaste for the Germans the minute my interview started. The father was rude about Britain and as soon as my views on the European Union became clear I feel they wanted little more to do with me as well. The Chinese family were lovely, I cannot say many bad words about them but travelling as far away as China seemed too much for my first move out of the UK. The French family again were lovely but lived in central Paris and I felt that was too much of a risk given the current state of affairs regarding terrorism in France.
The two Italian families lived in the same city but were completely different. The first family had two boys and one girl all under seven. It paid rather well but it seemed the parents wanted little more to do with their children than to find them a new au pair; well that was the impression I got from the father who loved the sound of his own voice and barely allowed his wife to speak. His children had been looked after by British/American au pairs since they were babies yet could barely utter a sentence in English; something just didn't feel right. The second Italian family were lovely, they had a young daughter and son who were both fairly fluent in English and if by this point I hadn't had my heart set on my Greek family I would of possibly au paired with them.
But I decided on a single mum with a sevn year old daughter in Greece. Why, you will ask. Because I wasn't a glorified babysitter, I was not only allowed to Skype with the parents, I was asked questions about my life and my family and my host mum is a broadcast journalist, something that fits in with my hobbies and interests.
I had two introductory Skype interviews with my Greek family and talked daily on Facebook with her mum right up to the minute I boarded the plane to Greece. If you look hard enough on these websites you will find a family you click with and feel part of even before you arrive, it's just about seeing what you are comfortable with.
I never saw myself as the type to go and live as an au pair, never mind in Europe. But it is the best decision I've made. The satisfaction you get from seeing your family accept you, from meeting new people and from seeing your new brother/sister grow as a person is unbeatable. So before you accept that place at university thinking that it's the only thing for you to do next or dread the thought of going back to university but think you have no other option, maybe give being an au pair a try. You can take a year out to figure out what you want from life and create new connections around the globe without a trust fund to go travelling for a year.

I started busting my box of 2015 Upper Deck Dinosaurs last Wednesday (actually, I busted the box back in the summer but my posts started this past Wednesday). At the outset of the box break, my goal was to inch closer to completing my base set and hopefully make some decent progress on the remaining inserts that I'm trying for. Through the first week of packs (and I'm posting the packs in the order I open them, one pack and post done before I move on to the next pack), it's been a disappointing box in that regard. I say disappointing because I've only found two cards so far that I needed. On the bright side, I did get one of the Predators of the Deep cards (a set that I love even though I don't think I'll actually ever try to complete it). Maybe pack 8 will yield some base cards that I need?
Pack 8:
3. Giganotosurus
51. Titanosaurus
53. Cryolophosaurus
60. Postosuchus
Canvas mini: 79. Sinornithosaurus
Patch card: 41. Utahraptor
The Utahraptor patch card is part of the "Group D" which is the most common group of patch cards. I kind of like the patches but I'll never complete the 60 card (!) patch set.
Oh, and if you were wondering. Here's the current update:
Cards from the box that I need (so far): Still freakin' two.
On the bright side, this was a six card pack which makes up for a four card pack we pulled earlier (a four card pack that didn't include any "thick" cards that is).

I have redirected my domain to my website, and can access via my url. However, I really don't want the url to keep showing, and I tried everything to just show my domain, www.originsdimensions.com. I need help asap! Thanks!
Changing my url
Did you park http://www.originsdimensions.com/ yes?
Hi @wkw030210
Seems you bought domain from google. There's two option to link your domain to 000webhost
- Add a CNAME record from google DNS manager and point it here.
- Change nameservers to 000webhost nameservers and park it here.
Note: Pointing and Parking can be done in the
Web Address field in your cPanel.
I did that exactly. I parked my domain on here, and it did not like me, the domain forwards to here, but the url stays.
Can you post a screenshot of your DNS zone and cPanel dns table?
Google Dig only shows following NS
It may take some time to propagate, i think. Please check again after sometime. If it doesn't get fixed, remove NS records and readd them (Delete google ones)
I need the google ones since I use this domain a subdomain of this mc.originsdimensions.com for my minecraft server. If it works without it, sure!
my problem is that I did not make the website yet, but the domain url seems to be forwarding to odnetwork.000webhostapp.com btw, not my domain thanks for ur help!
Glad to see it fixed
If you have any other problem feel free to open a new topic

I do believe that some men may have issues with a threat of a spouse having depression and others will not, especially if they feel you are working on it and they know how to be of help. My advice would be to not discuss this in the first six weeks, not because you should feel shame, but because I don't recommend that anyone give the best of them to those who do not invest in them – and these men have not invested enough to learn your private and vulnerable information. If you are still dating the same man after six weeks and he begins to become more serious, then briefly explain that you suffer from depression and all you do to manage it. Do not make it a major issue – which would show your fears and shame. Your depression may not be an issue to him. Instead hold your head high, square your shoulders, and act with confidence believing that your depression does not define your value.
After a man sacrifices deeply and over a period of time and gets to know you and who you are, he will put this issue in perspective. The Lord has a plan for you and your happiness. The kind of man you are looking for is looking for someone like you and will invest in and pursue you.
I hope this information is helpful. I am sorry it took so long.

As a player, you most likely currently understand that a lot more accurate your mouse is, the much better you'll intend throughout your gaming sessions, and also enhance your total activities each min. This will certainly consequently enhance your ability as a player. Just what makes an excellent gaming mouse? There are a couple of points to take into account.
For FPS Players
For individuals that such as playing busy very first individual shooters, the best wireless gaming mouse would certainly be those with the very little quantity of switches, a premium sensing unit set up, a ratcheted scroll wheel and also a weight adjusting system. Currently, this could appear frustrating initially, yet it is rather rational.
You do not require way too many switches to unintentionally press. You just require the fire switch as well as the purpose switch. These are the standard activities you absorb any kind of shooter video game.
The sensing unit should be superior, given that every pixel counts when intending down the views. The best wireless gaming mouse would certainly bring a gaming quality laser sensing unit, given that this service virtually any type of surface area as well as could give outstanding monitoring abilities.
The ratcheted mouse wheel is a have to if you desire to change to the right tool in time. Mouse with loosened wheels will certainly use unintentional tool changing, so they are not advised for this kind of video games.
The weight adjusting system is optional below if you uncommitted regarding what does it cost? Your mouse considers.
For MMO And Also Actual Time Method Gamings
There is a unique sector of gaming mouse being established especially for these kinds of video games. You could identify these by the huge switch varieties, as well as for some, the additional third finger switch. The basic concept for MMO as well as real-time approach video games is that the even more activities you could do with your mouse, the much better.

La Porta di Vertine is located in Gaiole in Chianti. The estate sees its greatest advantage in the Galestro and Alberese (shale and limestone) soils, whose high rock and stone content makes the region of Chianti Classico unique. The estate follows the unusual route of cultivating high altitude vineyards where the application of organic viticultural methods sustain the landscape and regenerate the environment.
Giacomo Mastretta, winemaker at La Porta di Vertine from its inception, originates from Piemonte. After a study of Natural Science he left for France where he interned at Michel Chapoutier. There he encountered organic growing and winemaking techniques sparking an ongoing interest in sustainable viticulture and vinification. After having completed a Masters in Oenology at the Ecole Nationale Superieur Agronomique de Montpellier he has worked in Italy, Chile, Australia and New Zealand. Giacomo's philosophy can be summarized as non-interventionist. His central belief is that great wine stems from a great vineyard and therefore needs as little handling as possible.
Jeremy Parzen is an American wine writer and educator, blogger, food and wine historian and musician who resides in Austin, Texas. He is author of the wine and lifestyle blog Do Bianchi (dobianchi.com) and is a co-editor of VinoWire--a blog devoted to news from the world of Italian Wine. He received his doctorate in Italian Literature and Language at UCLA in 1997. After living and working in Los Angeles and Italy as an instructor of Italian language and music he later moved to New York City where he became chief wine writer of La Cucina Italiana before leaving to pursue an independent career as a wine and food writer.

Riverside Park
A multi-phase residential development, located right next to a river and park made for some exciting visuals. A total of 14 exterior and interior visualisations were delivered. We undertook a view study, to produce the best angles and lighting for the client. Producing several images per room to explain the layout proved to be more cost effective and led to a complete understanding of the development. Due to the early stages of the development the interior design was not complete and DJS were asked to show indicative interiors based on reference from the client. A service DJS are happy to provide and the end images resulting in the high quality finish the client envisaged.

In Brief
- Talk to Lars Battle-Born and agree to help him.
- Talk to Braith and get her to stop bullying Lars.
Talk to Lars Battle-Born in Whiterun and he'll complain about being bullied by Braith. Tell him you'll help him and he'll pay you his whole life savings – two Septims!
Approach Braith and tell her to stop bullying Lars. In order to persuade her, you can tell her:
- you are Lars' bodyguard
- Lars has a disease
- you will send her to an orphanage.
As harsh as the last choice may seem, all three options lead to the same response. It turns out Braith has liked Lars for quite some time now, and only wanted a kiss. Then she wouldn't have had to bully him.
After the quest conclusion, you'll notice that Braith no longer bullies Lars, and in fact keeps her distance from him. Lars will thank you for your help, and Braith will tell you that she has stopped bullying him.

Australia's Annual Vacancy Fee - Use it or be taxed!
Foreign owners of residential property in Australia may now be subject to an annual vacancy fee imposed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Australian law member Broadley Rees Hogan reports that foreign owners of residential property located in Australia may now be hit by an annual vacancy fee (also referred to as the "ghost tax") imposed by the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"). This was previously proposed as a measure to help solve Australia's housing affordability issues due to the significant number of vacant residential properties, especially those owned by foreign investors. It was formally announced by the Government in May 2017 as part of the Federal Budget.
When does it apply?
The new laws apply if the following criteria are met:
1. The owner of the property is a foreign individual who is not ordinarily a resident in Australia (including companies or trusts that are controlled by such foreign individuals);
2. The property is a residential property with a dwelling constructed on the land (vacant property is not affected);
3. The property is acquired after 19:30 on 9th May 2017 (being the time of the announcement of the Federal Budget);
4. The acquisition of the property was a "notifiable acquisition" with the Foreign Investment Review Board ("FIRB"), or was subject to an exemption, such as the acquisition of a new dwelling where a New Dwelling Exemption Certificate has been issued by FIRB; and
5. The property was not occupied and was vacant for more than 183 days (6 months) in a year.

- Vacancy Fee imposed on foreign owners of residential real estate in Australia to increase housing stock
Occupying the property
According to the new legislation, the property will generally be considered to be occupied for the required 183 days per year if the owner can prove:
1. The property owner or a relative genuinely occupied the property as a residence;
2. The property was genuinely occupied as a residence under a lease or licence with a term of 30 days or more. This effectively excludes forms of short term accommodation and holiday rentals (such as most Airbnb rentals); and
3. The property was genuinely available for accommodation as a residence under a lease or licence with a term of 30 days or more, where the property was publically advertised as being available at a market rent.
FIRB has issued Guidance Note 48 which includes helpful examples regarding the determination of this required period of occupation.
Which 'year' applies?
The relevant year period for the purpose of the new legislation is unique and a standard period (such as a financial year or calendar year) does not apply across the board. Instead, the annual assessment period (or "vacancy year") is each successive 12 month period commencing from the initial date when the owner acquired the right to occupy the property (usually being the settlement or closing date).
If the owner does not continue to own the property at the end of the vacancy year, there will be no liability to pay the vacancy fee.
Reporting requirements
A Vacancy Fee Return is required to be lodged with the ATO by all relevant foreign owners of residential properties acquired after 9 May 2017, even if the property was not vacant for the required 183 day period and will not be subject to the vacancy fee. The Return must be lodged within 30 days of the end of the vacancy year for each property.
Vacancy Fee liability
If the property has been vacant for over 183 days in that vacancy year, the owner will be liable for the vacancy fee. A notice of assessment will be issued by the ATO and the liability must be paid within 21 days. Generally, the vacancy fee is equivalent to the fee paid to FIRB (or the fee payable, if an exemption had not applied) for its approval to purchase the property. For example, a current application fee of $AUD5,500 applies when acquiring an interest in residential land where the consideration is up to $AUD1 million.
The need for accurate and timely reporting
The new laws are intended to encourage foreign owners to increase the number of residential dwellings available for rent. The reporting and notification requirements are designed to facilitate improved data of vacancy rates for foreign owned residential dwellings.
However, foreign owners will need to be diligent to ensure that they comply with the new reporting deadlines.
Any failure to lodge the Vacancy Fee Return (or keep records relating to the occupancy of a property for at least five years) may result in a penalty being imposed (potentially as high as $AUD52,500) as well as the liability to pay the vacancy fee for the relevant year.

Tullagh Bay Equestrian Centre, in Clonmany, is holding its annual Charity Family Fun Day this Sunday, May 3rd from 12 noon to 5pm in aid of Donegal Hospice, Buddy Bears(Helping children with Cerebral Palsy) and a local charity. The event was a great success last year with hundreds of people enjoying a fun day and it's going to be even bigger and better this year with even more attractions. There will be loads for the kids to do with bouncy castles, face painting and sports events and the adults will also be catered for with music, craft demonstrations, a tractor run and a 5kbeach walk/run.
The Vintage Tractor run will commence at 12 noon and last year more than 50 tractors took part last year, so get the polish out and shine up the old work horse. The 5km beach walk or run will take place at 1pm. For anyone training for the Couch to 5km this will be a lovely relaxing circuit to keep you motivated. For the keen runner this 5km will be a little bit different as two thirds of it will be on the beach.
The Inishowen Horse Shoe Pitching Association will be running a competition throughout the day. Opportunities will be given to anyone over the age of 14 to learn this skill.
The craft fair will showcase all the amazing talent in the area with a number of local crafters demonstrating their skills. Johnny Shields from Carndonagh will demonstrate the craft of spinning, weaving and wood turning, while Eileen Welsh from The Parish, Buncrana will demonstrate the craft of stained glass and Carol Mc Daid from Glebe, Clonmany will demonstrate the craft of glassware.
We hope to also demonstrate the craft of basket weaving. There will be a chance to purchase all the handmade crafts.
The organisers are hoping for glorious sunshine on Sunday but even if the sun does not shine they've appealed people to still come along and support these three great causes. If the weather is unkind the event will still go ahead as the Equestrian Centre has a large indoor facility where it can be held.
Tullagh Bay Equestrian is asking anyone who is on facebook to please like and share its post on the event so that we can spread the word and raise the maximum amount of money for its three charities. Make it a real family day out there is something for everyone from young to old. Hopefully we will see you on the day. Come along and bring your family and friends.

Transportable Portable Pocket
With today's digital accessories getting smaller and abundant finding a place to store them on a person is increasingly becoming a challenge. Pants may have many pockets, but a device such as a Bluetooth can easily be damaged by keys or smashed by a phone.
A portable magnetic pocket has been something I have wanted to construct for years. It consists of a framework made from one 9″ hose clamp, four neodymium magnets along with four c-clamps and an old pair of jeans.
CAUTION: Those wearing pacemakers or heart pumps should not have these powerful magnets near those devices; it could easily interrupt the precise configuration of those devices.
