THE $6 million built Mahusekwa Hospital also known as the China-Zimbabwe Friendship Hospital is developing some cracks throughout its ceilings, floors and walls, due to poor workmanship during the first phase of the project, a district health official told HealthTimes in an exclusive interview.
By Michael Gwarisa recently in Mahusekwa
The visible crevices on the three-column, two-storey structure have seen residents panic in fear for their safety. The hospital was commissioned in 2013 and was built under a Chinese aid project to help Zimbabwe provide quality health services in the countryside, where 70% of the population live.

In an interview with the Medical Officer at the Hospital, Dr Munyaradzi Muzamhindo he said first phase of the construction job might not have been probably done but the cracks were not life threatening yet and everything was under control.
"The first job was not done thoroughly I would say. We are however working flat-out to fill up the cracks, already the construction team is on the ground doing their job.
"The situation is not yet worse, the cracks are not yet life threatening as far as I can say," said Dr Muzamhindo
By merely glancing at the three-column, two-storey hospital from the front, one is tempted to admire the finest architecture and aesthetic beauty. When the HealthTimes news team visited the hospital, a team of contractors and builders were working flat out to cover the crevices ahead of the First lady of Zimbabwe, Amai Auxilia Mnangagwa's visit to the institution.
"The hospital looks beautiful from the outside, just get closer and see for yourself the cracks through out this structure. The front looks nice but as you move to the maternity ward and kitchen side you will see what I am talking about," said a 75 year old granny who only identified herself as Mbuya Godhi.
A tour of the facility by HealthTimes however confirmed the old lady's fears as the backside of the structure is ridden with fissures and builders were still busy filling up gaps. Construction and supply of medical equipment of Mahusekwa hospital took about two years to complete.
The hospital was part of the 30 hospitals China pledged to build, along with 30 malaria control centres across Africa at the first summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in 2006. It was followed by a pledge to further donate $79 million worth medical facilities and medicines to these aid projects.
The hospital however has some state of art medical equipment. The institution has a staff complement of 175, including three medical doctors, the Mahusekwa hospital serves people from distances as far as 200km away. Some even come from Harare.

Recently, Google announced that mobile-first indexing is now the default method for crawling websites. Concurrently, Google added further notifications about your site's status in regards to mobile first indexing, including the date your site was moved to mobile first indexing (Google began moving sites to mobile-first towards the end of 2018). It's self-explanatory that Google is now looking more closely at your mobile website, but what does it ultimately mean for SEO? Thankfully, there are only a few key components to understand what mobile-first indexing means to your site.
Mobile Friendly
First and foremost, you'll want to make sure your site is mobile-friendly! While optimizing your mobile experience should be a continuous focus, you'll want to ensure Google deems your site what it considers to be "mobile friendly." For Google, "mobile friendly" means users can access and use the site on a smartphone without difficulty (as opposed to the poor experience of trying to navigate a desktop site on a mobile device).
In Google Search Console under the "Enhancements" section, the "Mobile Usability" tab will report any issues with the mobile version of your site. Errors in this report are related to issues that prevent users from easily accessing your site, including: text too small to read, clickable elements too close together, or content wider than screen. Conveniently, Google Search Console allows you to test and render pages on demand, so any issues you find can quickly be confirmed with Googlebot's render of the page. In addition to the negative SEO ramifications, mobile experience issues like these should be immediately addressed to prevent any issues with conversion rates.
Beyond confirming your site's mobile friendliness and its ability to handle traffic, it's important to understand what kind of mobile site you have. Responsive site designs have become very prominent. A responsive site is a website with one source code that serves an extremely similar experience that adjusts based on the screen size of the device. An easy way to test whether or not a site is responsive is to load the website on a desktop device and then resize your browser window and observe if the site renders again to fit the updated window size. The primary advantage of a responsive site is that it requires only one set of code to manage and eliminates the possibility of inconsistencies between the mobile and desktop site. When it comes to the shift to mobile first indexing, fully responsive sites are oftentimes properly configured to handle the change by default.
If you host your mobile site at a separate subdomain (frequently an "m." site), you'll need to strive for consistency between your mobile and desktop sites. In addition to making sure your desktop site's content is fully available on your mobile site, confirm that your site's metadata and structured markup is also in your mobile site's source code. Proper canonical tags in this situation are of extreme importance, so make sure you properly configure your mobile pages to canonicalize to the mobile version of the page while your desktop pages should reference the mobile site as an alternate URL. On the Google side of things, confirm that both the desktop and mobile versions of your websites are verified properties on Search Console. While a separate mobile site requires more oversight to maintain, it is still a viable option as long as it is properly configured.
Mobile Performance & Testing
Google has measured site speed as a ranking factor for several years, and the move to mobile-first indexing means that the speed of your mobile site is now tied to your organic ranking. In addition to running speed tests on the mobile version of your site (performance between your desktop and mobile sites can greatly vary, so be sure to test both) consider running a performance test with Taistech to determine whether your website is equipped to effectively handle your site's traffic. While slow websites can sometimes rank well despite slower speeds, there is no doubting the negative impact a slow website can have on both bounce rates and conversion rates.
Once the technical aspects of your site are squared away, it can be easy to forget that Google (not to mention the majority of your users) are accessing the mobile version of your website. When testing your website and evaluating user experience, prioritize the mobile version of your website. Beyond it being the basis of your organic rankings, your mobile site will only continue to increase its share of your overall traffic as time progresses and mobile browsing becomes more prominent. With mobile sessions that are usually shorter in length and feature higher bounce rates, winning organic mobile traffic means nothing if these sessions end without any conversions.
Given how different the experience can change between desktop and mobile (even if the same content is presented in a different format), tracking your performance should always be segmented between desktop and mobile devices. Engagement and conversion rates can vary drastically as can your organic rankings, so optimizing for both experiences regardless of how Google sees your site is crucial to maintaining a successful site.
As Google continues to evolve and reevaluate how it crawls and indexes the web, an overarching theme of favoring usability and experience has emerged. The move towards mobile-first indexing is another sign of this—now that that the majority of users view sites on mobile devices, why wouldn't Google as well? Though the mobile-first index change seems like an additional complication to the already confusing world of SEO, focusing on your mobile site's performance and user experience should already be a priority.

The German financial service company Ginmon opened an office in Shanghai and signed a partnership contract with Everbright Yunfu Internet Co. Ltd, the internet finance subsidiary of China Everbright Group. The cooperation is the first of its kind in the world.
Jerome Eger, Managing Director Ginmon China arranged the cooperation: "According to Casey Quirk the Chinese assets under management will grow from US$ 3.2 trillion to US$ 17 trillion in 2030 and thus will become the second largest asset management market behind the US. The Chinese market for Robo-Advisory is estimated at more than US$ 750 billion in 2020. The industry offers an enormous growth potential of more than 15 percent", Eger explains. The wealth management adviser who formerly worked at The Boston Consulting Group has been engaged in China-projects for over ten years and manages a team of seven persons in Shanghai.
Lingwu Xia, Vice Chairman and CEO of Everbright Yunfu Internet Co. Ltd is pleased about the collaboration and looks forward to a successful cooperation: "After a deep analysis of all providers we are sure that Ginmon's leading technology is the best match with our ambitions", explains Xia. Beside their convincing technology the new partners are impressed with the attractive investment solutions. Everbright Yunfu Internet Co. Ltd plans to cooperate with Ginmon through various channels. The institution's parent company, China Everbright Group, is one of the most dominant Chinese financial holdings, comprising security trading and banking with total assets of US$ 579 billion.
Ginmon paves the way for the cooperation with China by means of the advisory board founded in March. "200 million individual investors in China are already invested in capital markets. Automated portfolios are considered to be the next trend in the Fintech sector", says Ginmon's managing director Lars Reiner. Since founding, commitment in the Far East is part of Ginmon's corporate DNA. As a result of having studied together at Frankfurt's Goethe University Eger and Reiner know each other from early in the beginning.
The Frankfurt based Fintech-company enables private customers to invest in ETF-portfolios, which are managed by state-of-the art software technology. The portfolio management technology – developed completely in- house – invests customer assets based on Nobel prize awarded research and the 3-Factor model by the US portfolio scientist Prof. Fama. Due to the high degree of automation, the investors gain a reliable portfolio management at very low costs. Ginmon thereby offers a service which could previously only be delivered to very wealthy and institutional investors. Ginmon cooperates with DAB BNP Paribas Bank, a Munich based partner bank, which provides their fully regulated custodian accounts and offers the customers the highest level of security. Ginmon also offers saving plans, starting at 50 Euro per month and tax-optimised accounts for children. For further information, please visit: www.ginmon.de/presse

I probably shouldn't have brought an ancient scholastic text book with me but I still have a fondness for it, in part in memory of an early mentor Herbert McCabe OP who I first met when I was still a student. I have fond memories of many a meeting and discussion at Blackfriars in Oxford, sometimes shared with Terry Eagleton and Giles Hibbert OP; a colleague of Herbert who was a witness for the defence at the Oz trial (Thanks to Iwan Jenkins for tracking that down) Herbert's article "The class struggle and Christian Love" remains relevant today. I still remember one late night discussion, fuelled by spirts and possibly The Spirit on the subject of idolatry, the sin of seeing either God or Mammon as an object within the world. Then of course there were the Spode House sessions. The 70's was a good time to be alive, young and engaged, it was a time of change and above all of hope. As I get more into complexity and anthropology the more the discussions of that period come back to me and I'm currently re-reading Moltmann's Theology of Hope for example and finding it relevant to many of today's issues without any need to accept his ideas around the resurrection which can be treated as a metaphor.
Reflection brings back memories but I should probably move on to the goal of todays post which is to introduce the idea that description impacts on ethics within organisations. This is a relatively new idea so consider this post an exploration. I chose the scholastic word synderesis deliberately as some of the modern equivalent such as habitus or disposition, The concept links back in with yesterday's post. It is all about the application of practical reason (prognosis) based on a natural disposition derived from principles of human interaction. It is generally thought to derive from the greek syneidêsis (συνείδησις) which means shared knowledge or conscience and I want to build on the idea of shared knowledge, or understanding, which is one of the main objectives of Cynefin in practice.
I've always argued that one of the main utilities of Cynefin is to reduce conflict. By understanding in which domain an issue is situated by can readily agree common practice based on agreed principles. If we go back to sense-making and my definition (making sense of the world so we can act in it) then understanding where we are, and holding that understanding in common, is key. One of the ongoing issues with platitudinous future goals is that while people can readily agree to the form of the words, the nature of their understanding of what it means may be radically different. The present can be known, the future is uncertain. It is a lot easy to agree on the current nature of a system if we avoid debates about what should happen, or how we have arrived here.
Within Cynefin this is relatively simple and has four basic stages:
- For things that are Obvious we already know what to do, in the UK we know to drive on the left this is not a matter for controversy.
- Where they are complicated we delegate the decision to professionals whose practice and education over time allow them to determine the correct path. A generic problem in the modern day is that we have expected experts to make decisions in the complex domain (and they have claimed that right) which means they are wrong as often they are right and generally loose credibility in consequence. Knowing the boundaries of expert legitimacy is key to conflict reduction and effective decision making. My earlier post on how we gain that is key here.
- For everything else the situation is complex (if it was chaotic we would be out there doing something not talking about it). Key here is that multiple hypotheses about what happened and what should happen can all be valid in different ways, or invalid for that matter. The nature of the system is that we cannot know, we can only know that we don't know, and can only gain knowledge through parallel safe-to-fail experiments. Differencing points of view only have to agree that other people's hypotheses are coherent, not that they are valid. Further we know that failure is a part of the process of understanding or exploration, it is not associated with being right or wrong.
- Finally we have the choice of methods of exploring those options and planning for when things wrong. I'll come back to that in a future post.
To be clear I am talking here about organisations not necessarily the wider issue of ethics and morality in society as a whole. But it wouldn't be that difficult to make the jump. I am arguing that what is correct is linked to the nature of the situation we are in but I also want to avoid utilitarian and constructivism as either can legitimise behaviours than would't repeal any normally educated and raised human being. I used the panopticon as an opening illustration both to raise the issue of observation modifying behaviour, but also the way in which that was too readily taken to excess creates something deeply horrific. Constructivism too readily gives rise to moral relativism. Interestingly both tend to be common in organisations manifesting themselves in various forms with arguments such as if it works it must be right and so on.
Now I don't want to resolve those issues for the moment, but I am arguing for a first stage. Start not with what things should be, not how they came to be but take a deeply realist perspective on describing how things are and where we can act for change. Keep that at the right level of granularity and the unintended consequences of error are manageable. Linked to that we have the wider issue of training and experience, creating a tendency to virtue (to reference Aristotle and Aquinas). I think we have an innate sense of what is collectively right and reject unfairness and selfishness (and I can see evolutionary reasons for that). Things go wrong when we allow idealistic visions to pervert our understanding of the here and now. To return to where I started, with tongue ever so slightly in cheek:
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only
James 2:24

Dear JMP user
I built a model and i wanted to assess the effect of 6 different independent variables, including interdependency, on a certain output. Not sure how to do that but what i did is that i assigned a Low and High level for each variable to minimze the number of runs. Then i used the Fit definitive screening method in JMP and i ran the multi regression model the program built and i used the logworth table to rank the effect of each variable.
Now the question is, is the methodology correct? and if not, what will be the best way to build a multi-regression analysis in JMP and calculate the p value/logworth for each variable as well as the interdependency
Thank you
When using statistically designed experiments (DoE for short), 'design' and 'analysis' should go hand in hand. To reflect this, (in JMP 14 at least) there are two menu options under 'DOE > Definitive Screening', though the principle is general.
So, the answer to your question about the analysis will depend crucially on what runs you actually performed (your design). You say you used 'a Low and High level for each variable to minimze the number of run', and that you are interested in interactions between the six factors. Maybe you could use 'Tables > Anonymize' and post up the result? Then folks will have more to go on . . .
There are no labels assigned to this post.

Providing the figures come back on target, it will be all systems go with the next stage - Design Development. There have been instances where cost estimates have come in under budget, however this is very rare. But how good would that be?
Saturday, 30 June 2012
Cost Estimates
All the necessary documentation has now gone out to the builders to prepare a cost estimate. This process is to ensure that the proposed building works are within budget. This is likely to take about 4-5 weeks, so there will be little progress next month.
1 comment:
Under budget? Really? That actually happens? Good luck with this stage- it is so daunting isn't it when you have no idea if your ideas are affordable or not. We assume everything will go up once we have complete working drawings but have tried to factor in for that as well. Btw I forgot to thank you for linking over to me with your previous post. melxReplyDelete

When crossing the Bushwick border into Ridgewood, it's hard to tell when you leave Brooklyn and enter Queens.
The brick row houses, along with the coffee shops, kitschy bars and art galleries popping up throughout Ridgewood evoke a Brooklyn aura.
Due to the similarities, young professionals looking for a Brooklyn vibe in recent years have drifted into Ridgewood — which formerly has predominantly been a haven for German, Italian, Hispanic and Egyptian immigrants.
As many are priced out of Williamsburg and Bushwick, the low-rise apartment buildings, multi-family homes and townhouses in Ridgewood become the next-best choice, said Cono Natale, a licensed broker with Citi Habitats.
"You see a lot of younger people moving into the neighborhood because of the affordability and the convenience of getting into the city," Natale said.
It takes about a 40 to 45 minutes to get to midtown from Ridgewood, which has access to the M train.
Residents don't need to leave Ridgewood to run their errands, however. Along the commercial districts on Myrtle and Seneca avenues is a plethora of shops and restaurants, like Polish delis and Mexican eateries, which reflect the diversity in the area.
One staple, Muncan Food Corp, is an Eastern European butcher shop on Myrtle Avenue, opened in 1992 by the same family that runs a shop by the same name in Astoria sjnce 1978.
Families head to the local Grover Cleveland Park, on Stanhope Street between Grandview and Woodward avenues, for its playground and softball and handball courts. A wading pool provides a spot to cool off in the summer and is sometimes used as an ice-skating rink in the winter.
Ridgewood is becoming more like Brooklyn by way of the trendy new businesses popping up, too. The café and bakery Norma's Corner Shoppe, for example, opened on Catalpa Avenue in 2012, and the bar and antique shop The Keep opened in 2014 on Cypress Avenue.
Nowadays, a seasonal bar on Cooper Avenue that opened in June 2015 by the team behind the Mister Saturday Night and Mister Sunday dance parties in Brooklyn, offers everything from beer and sangria to food, movies and beer pong tournaments. It will reopen for the summer on May 12.
There are trendy art galleries too, like Lorimoto on Hancock Street, which opened in 2013 and displays local artwork.
Anibal Cordero, 52, who has lived in Ridgewood for 28 years, said he appreciates the newer establishments in the area, especially the coffee shops.
"[They're] good for kids to go in and get their homework done because of the free Wi-Fi," he said.
But while rents are relatively cheaper than Bushwick and Williamsburg, Ridgewood residents, including Cordero, have noticed the cost of living rising in the neighborhood.
The median rent in Bushwick and Williamsburg in 2015 was $2,500 and $3,100, respectively, according to the listings site StreetEasy. Meanwhile, the median rent in Ridgewood was $2,300 last year, up from $2,050 in 2014.
The median sales price in Ridgewood in 2015 was $750,000, StreetEasy found.
Meanwhile, construction is underway on a 90-unit building at 16-14 and 16-26 Madison St., considered within Ridgewood's boundaries by some, which developer Essex Capital is reportedly gearing toward artistic types with a shared workspace for residents.
Despite the changes, Vincent Arcuri Jr., chair of the local Community Board 5, said local residents maintain their community-oriented values and celebrate their diversity.
"Ridgewood is abuzz since it has been discovered by the hipster community," Arcuri said. But, he added, "anyone interested in Ridgewood should be aware of the camaraderie of its residents [and] its multi-ethnicity."
Find it:
Ridgewood sits between Flushing Avenue to the west, the train tracks just past Decatur Street to the east, Fresh Pond Road to the north and Cypress Avenue to the south, according to StreetEasy.

It's not always that I got phone calls. Except my mother's frequent phone calls, I got no other. My phone actually is one of the least valued among my gadgets. If it were not for the music, I suppose it won't get charged at all.
However today, a friend called me. A dear friend and I'm glad I charged the phone.
A familiar voice and a familiar language – the distinct language of WanPamili Dumaguete – rang unto my ears. O how I miss hearing those talks where God is always involved.
My friend is currently in a great – somehow- weird test. But as I dug into it just now, what Jesus once said echoed:" On my own, I can do nothing."
Now listen folks. Jesus Christ is a God-Human. Yet He humbled Himself so low as to say that there is nothing He can do by Himself. I believe that even with all our efforts, if God is not the one initiating whatever action, then it is futile. If Jesus Himself said that there is nothing that He can do by Himself, then how much more us?
Trials, troubles, brokenness, – they all serve one purpose and that is to send us all to our knees before Him in earnest seeking and prayer. Earnest.
Seek God, my friends. Seek God.

still the masses live in denial everyday.They can still buy their little trinkets so it must be untrue….a shock is coming!!
For those of us who prepare the plans we have made will soon serve us well.
We posted yesterday that the Germans are starting to think out loud about the breakup of the Euro. Here's an excerpt and chart on the economic aftermath of a Eurozone split from the Der Spiegel piece,
Collapse of Currency a 'Very Likely Scenario'
Investment experts at Deutsche Bank now feel that a collapse of the common currency is "a very likely scenario." German companies are preparing themselves for the possibility that their business contacts in Madrid and Barcelona could soon be paying with pesetas again. And in Italy, former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is thinking of running a new election campaign, possibly this year, on a return-to-the-lira platform.
Nothing seems impossible anymore, not even a scenario in which all members of the currency zone dust off their old coins and bills — bidding farewell to the euro, and instead welcoming back the guilder, deutsche mark and drachma.

Never Mind Those Earthquakes: Atmospheric Rivers Could Put Sacramento 30 Feet Under Water
By Candice Wang
The Sacramento Bee
The biggest freshwater rivers on Earth don't flow along the planet's surface.
Start an Emergency & Disaster Management degree at American Military University.
Instead, they surge and whip through the atmosphere thousands of feet above our heads, carrying 2 1/2 times the amount of water that gushes through the Amazon River at any given time.
They're called atmospheric rivers, or, more aptly, rivers in the sky.
These rivers are capable of burying Sacramento under 30 feet of water.
A research team led by Sasha Gershunov at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego published a new study on atmospheric rivers in Nature Scientific Reports this week that places atmospheric rivers under scrutiny as the driving cause behind California's increasingly extreme, infrequent bouts of precipitation.
Gershunov's team used 16 global climate models to analyze the expanding role of atmospheric rivers as contributors to precipitation in California. The results show that atmospheric rivers are getting stronger and wetter, and catastrophic events like the Great Flood of 1862 could happen again.
"In 1862, Sacramento was underwater," Gershunov said. "It was most certainly due to an atmospheric river."
In 1861, Northern California became the focal point for two consecutive atmospheric rivers that surged into the Sierra Nevada, melting snow at disastrous rates. By 1862, a catastrophic flood swept through the Central Valley, augmented by two rainstorms, creating an inland sea that was 300 miles long and 60 miles wide.
It rained for 45 days straight, according to a film produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. Thousands of cattle drowned, and vineyards and homes were washed away. The state went bankrupt. The American River near Auburn rose 35 feet, submerging towns.
No place was more affected than Sacramento, however.
Situated at the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers, the city went under 30 feet of water.
Leland Stanford, the governor-elect, had to row a boat to his inauguration in January 1862.
"Nearly every house and farm over this immense region is gone. America has never seen such desolation by a flood," wrote botanist William Brewer of the California Division of Mines and Geology in 1862.
According to a team led by scientist Dale Cox at the U.S. Geological Survey, California is due for another megaflood.
"Absolutely, it could happen again," Gershunov said. "The probability of it happening is increasing with stronger atmospheric rivers."
Indeed, these rivers in the sky are becoming wetter and stronger.
Around Valentine's Day this year, California was inundated by record-breaking moisture. On Feb. 13, some cities in Northern California received more snow than Boston saw all winter. The next day, Palm Springs saw more than eight months' worth of rain in one day. In San Diego, the city's dusty streets became slick with mud, and sinkholes and mudslides ravaged the formerly dry landscape.
The culprit? One of the largest atmospheric rivers ever recorded, 300 miles wide and 1,000 miles long. All signs point toward even stronger atmospheric rivers, rendering California more vulnerable to a megaflood.
Gershunov said that atmospheric rivers are gradually overtaking storms as the main contributor to California's fickle precipitation.
Currently, atmospheric rivers are responsible for 40 to 50 percent of total precipitation, according to Gershunov. This number is rapidly expanding, however.
"They're becoming more potent," Gershunov said. "They're becoming wetter, longer, and fatter, so when more moisture gets slammed against the mountains, you get more extreme precipitation events."
Atmospheric rivers are wetter than ever because warming global temperatures increase their water-holding capacity. When global wind currents push these rivers westward from the subtropics, they slam into the Sierra, unleashing as much water as an East Coast hurricane over three days, Gershunov said.
Everything points to another megaflood, named ARkStorm, short for "atmospheric river 1,000," by the USGS.
According to the USGS, the ARkStorm is a hypothetical but scientifically realistic megastorm, modeled on past megafloods in California. Analysis of sediment in the Bay Area, Santa Barbara basin, Sacramento Valley and Klamath Mountain region revealed that six floods even more catastrophic than the one in 1862 occurred in 212, 440, 603, 1029, 1418 and 1605, according to the USGS.
"A storm of this scale is inevitable," the USGS said in a harrowing short film on ARkStorm published in 2011.
According to the film, such a megaflood could flood Sacramento, the Delta, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Ten feet of rain would fall, with landslides crushing homes, highways and buildings. Levees and dams would be overwhelmed, and property damage would approach $400 billion. This figure is three times more than the predicted damage costs of a mega-earthquake.
After nearly a month of constant rain, the storm would subside, leaving California wholly unable to grapple with the aftereffects. Only 12 percent of Californian properties carry flood insurance, according to the USGS, so millions of homeowners would be unable to rebuild. Parts of California would be left underwater for months.
Anne Wein, a disaster scientist on the ARkStorm team at USGS, warned that atmospheric rivers could be just as dangerous as hurricanes, if not more so.
"In our scenario, we found a million people in the flood zone, which is comparable to Hurricane Katrina," Wein said.
"They're like our versions of hurricanes in a sense," Gershunov said.
To prepare for such a catastrophe, Wein urges Sacramento residents to know evacuation routes ahead of time. This can be crucial to survival, according to Wein.
"We saw that many people don't own vehicles in Sacramento," Wein said. "Just knowing what the evacuation plan is for your neighborhood and city is pretty critical ahead of time."
Although the megaflood would cause widespread catastrophe, Gershunov said that the accumulated damage incurred from smaller, yearly floods due to atmospheric rivers are also a concern.
"It's not just these extreme floods or megaflood, it's also the regular floods that we get almost every year in California, mostly driven by atmospheric rivers," Gershunov said. "That's clear from flood insurance data."
In the coming weeks, Gershunov will publish a study on the yearly economic impact of such atmospheric river-driven minor floods on California.
For now, Gershunov's team continues to examine atmospheric rivers in an attempt to understand their powerful impact on California's increasingly chaotic weather patterns.
"They are so ephemeral and variable," Gershunov said. ___

The plight of Kosovar Albanians, sadly, is only the latest example of ethnic cleansing or outright genocide. Our century began with massacres and expulsions of Armenians from Turkey, culminated in the Holocaust of Jews, Romanis (Gypsies) and other so-called "sub- humans," continued with the "killing fields" of Cambodia and Rwanda, and is now concluding with the atrocities committed in Yugoslavia and its former constituent republics.
While we properly focus our attention on the slaughter of human beings, we cannot ignore other, less bloody, but highly pernicious acts of inhumanity that still exist as the twentieth century closes. I refer specifically to the enslavement of human beings throughout the world - in Africa, Asia and in the Americas. Moctar Teyeb, the outreach director of the American Anti-Slavery Group, told a group of seventy people in Meriden at Temple B'nai Abraham earlier this month about his own experiences as a slave in Mauritania, west Africa.
The Record-Journal devoted much space to Mr. Teyeb's story. Allow me, therefore, to go beyond his words to report on the work of both the American Anti-Slavery Group, based in Boston, and an allied organization, the Coalition Against Slavery in Mauritania and Sudan, based in New York. Samuel Cotton, a journalist, heads the latter organization and serves on the board of the former. Mr. Cotton authored Silent Terror: A Journey Into Contemporary African Slavery (Harlem River Press, NY: 1998), based on his academic research and his visit to Mauritania.
Silent Terror details particularly gruesome accounts of brutality. Captured escapees in Mauritania, for example, are often castrated or branded like cattle. There is also the "burning coals" torture, wherein the victim is immobilized with burning coals placed between the uppermost portions of his thighs. The "camel treatment" is yet another method of torture. The master causes his male victim to be strapped atop a camel that has been deliberately denied water for up to two weeks. The slave's ankles are tied together under the belly of the animal. The camel is then allowed to drink, expanding its abdomen, slowly causing the victim's legs, thighs and groin to become dislocated. The slave remains bound to the camel for as long as five days and receives no medical treatment. Women are usually spared, lest their breeding value be diminished. The book reports extensively on slavery by white northerners against black southerners in Sudan. However, slaves and enslavers are not confined to only particular ethnic groups or religions. President Clinton this week called attention to the enslavement of children in Asia and elsewhere. Even in the United States, a number of instances of the enslavement of immigrants and illegal aliens have occurred during this decade. We cannot ignore slavery, even if events in Kosovar appear more pressing.
Samuel Cotton writes: "I place my hope in those who hate injustice in every form it takes, who owe no allegiance to a particular religious or political belief. People who are brothers and sisters of spirit because they hear the call to correct an evil and are compelled to answer it, I welcome their help.
"Are you one of those people?"

Insects constitute the most diverse group of organisms on the planet and although they have received great attention from researchers who work on modern groups, there are only a few workers in the country who use the fossil record to study the evolution and ecology of insects. To study insect biodiversity, I work at very different spatial and temporal scales; conducting both in depth field-based research at targeted localities and large-scale literature based research across multiple geologic time intervals. I also conduct studies in modern ecosystems and in the lab in order to learn more about the specifics of plant-insect interactions and processes of fossilization.

This is a teddy bear that I crocheted for my daughter. I got the pattern online from DMC for free. It turned out a lot bigger than I thought, and I had a hard time finding the right colors of yarn in the right sizes and textures. Overall, though, I was pleased with the finished product.

|Seth Bullock in his younger days
Seth arrived in Deadwood in 1876 along with his partner Sol Star. They were in the hardware business and began by selling mining equipment out of their wagon. Being successful, they soon set up shop on the corner of Main and Wall Streets, building a store. That same year the law in Deadwood, Wild Bill Hickock died. Having prior experience as a Sheriff, Bullock was soon made the law in town to keep the peace. They say he was able to do so because he had a stare that scared most people. It was said that he was the sheriff "whose gaze could stop fights."
|The Star & Bullock Hardware store in Deadwood, South Dakota 1877
|Seth Bullock and Sol Star circa 1880s on their ranch
Although his hardware business still thrived, it burned down in 1876. The only surviving structure was the brick warehouse in the rear of the building. Seth and Sol decided to abandon the hardware business and rebuild on the site with a luxury hotel which became widely known as the finest in the region. They added a bar in 1900 obtaining the adjacent property.
|The Bullock Hotel in Deadwood, South Dakota 1876
Seth Bullock met with Theodore Roosevelt when he was in Deadwood bringing in a horse thief. The two became good friends over the years and when Roosevelt was elected president, he appointed Bullock as the first Forest Supervisor of the Black Hills Reserve. He was appointed U.S. Marshall of South Dakota by Roosevelt in 1905 and continued the office through two more presidencies through 1910.
Almost a decade later, Seth died of cancer in September of 1919 at the age of 70. He was laid to rest near Mt. Moriah Cemetery which some say has become a very haunted place in itself. However, Seth had never really left the hotel which became his pride and joy.
|Seth Bullock of Deadwood, South Dakota
The Bullock Hotel still stands to this day and several dozen people over the years have claimed to have seen his ghost with it's steely stare roaming the hallways of the hotel. Most sightings have occurred on the second and third floors of the hotel, but other strange occurrences have occurred in the restaurant and cellar area of the hotel which is used for meetings and banquets. Occurrences range from a full body apparition to misty figures being seen in several of the rooms. Some guests have sworn that someone has tapped them on the shoulder or felt someone brush against them to turn and find nobody actually there. Other folks have heard whistling and foot steps only to find that there was no one around to have actually made the sounds. Several times in the hallways, apparitions have been spotted in mirrors, some claimed to have captured them in photographs.
|The Bullock Hotel today
There are some poltergeist activities that take place as well. In the restaurant, dishes have been known to rattle, lights turn themselves on and off, appliances turn on and off at their own accord as well. Glasses and bottles have been known to move in the bar area by some unseen force. There is an antique clock that stands on display but does not function. Every now and then it has been known to chime.
|A snapshot taken inside The Bullock Hotel showing what many to believe is an image of a man in the right of the mirror
In the cellar of Bullock's Hotel which is known as "Seth's Cellar", near the bar an image of a cowboy has been spotted in the mirror when of course there was no one dressed as a cowboy in the room. Perhaps this is Seth looking out from the after world to make sure that everything is running smoothly at his pride and joy hotel!

Welcome to Meadowland Irises
Since moving to Pukehina Beach we are very pleased with how the irises grow here. They are thriving in the well draining soil and warmer weather.
As we are now into Winter, orders received from now on will not be delivered till mid December onwards, depending on when they bloom. This is because the iris are in their dormant stage over the Winter months and it is not advisable to move them at this time. As it is the end of the season, we have limited irises showing on the website for sale. A stocktake will be done in September and adjustments made.
Bare-rooted orders will be sent via NZ Post and the cost will depend on the size of the order. Every care will be taken in the preparation of your order but if a mistake should occur, please let us know. Please refer to the Shipping page for further information.
Bearded Iris need at least half a day of sun and must have good drainage. Plant in clumps for stunning effect. They will thrive in most well drained garden soils. Please refer to the Care Sheet for further information.
If you are wanting to give iris plants as a gift, we now offer a Gift Card to the value of your choice. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange this.
Please click on SHOP above to see our selection of wonderful bearded irises.

Driving in flash floods Hot spots in Singapore and safety tips
Recent monsoon downpours caused major flooding in parts of Singapore.
Some motorists were forced to abandon their cars after being stuck in floodwaters that left their vehicles un-roadworthy or seriously damaged.
There are things you can do to minimize the risks. The road safety experts at Budget Direct Insurance have this practical advice:
Good reasons to avoid flood water
- If you come across a flood the best advice is to avoid it and to find an alternative route. Even if you're late for that 'urgent meeting' forget it! You'll regret ruining your car for the sake of a few minutes.
- Try to avoid driving through standing water that is more than 15 cms and if it is moving water then it should be no more than 10 cms deep. In short, if it's ankle deep - avoid it. At this level, water can easily get into your engine bringing you to a halt and causing serious damage to your motor.
- A study by the Automobile Association says that most people would endanger their lives by driving through floodwater. And that more than a quarter of respondents would drive through moving floodwater deeper than 30cms which is enough to move a car. Shocking statistics, which show motorists really do underestimate the power of flood water.
Safety advice if you have no alternative
If you really have no alternative and must drive through flood water, here's what you need to know.
- Enter the water at 1-2mph and then accelerate up to 3-4mph to create a bow wave and to keep water out of the engine. Even if you're driving into quite shallow puddles avoid going too fast as the car can start aquaplaning which means the front tires are no longer steering the car and you lose control.
- Stay in first gear and keep the revs up to avoid water entering the exhaust pipe. Don't speed up, though, as this will push water into the engine.
- Stay on the crown of the road or the highest part of the road where possible and where water is most likely to be shallower.
- When you get out of the water, dry the brakes by using them gently.
What to do if your car aquaplanes
If you hit a build up of water, your car can loose traction. Don't panic. Resist the temptation to break hard or accelerate suddenly.
image: formula1-dictionary.net
"Since hydroplaning is a loss of traction to the front tires sudden braking slows the front tires but locks the rear tires which can cause a spin out. Also sudden acceleration could pull the vehicle straight ahead which could be dangerous if the vehicle is pointed toward the edge of the roadway." defensivedriving.com
If your car has:
- Front wheel drive with or without ABS and traction control OR
- Rear wheel drive with ABS and traction control
Keep your foot lightly on the accelerator, look for the best open space and gently steer in that direction.
If your car has:
Rear wheel drive without ABS and traction control
Ease off the accelerator and gently steer in the direction of an open space.
Hot spots for flash floods
Areas that have been identified as problem flood spots in Singapore include:
Upper Thomson Road
Paya Lebar
Tanjong Pagar Road
Craig Road Maxwell Road
Tiong Bahru Road
Alexandra Canal Sub Drain B near Redhill MRT station
Bishan Road
Enterprise Road at Jurong West
