A History of the Future: A World Made By Hand Novel352
A History of the Future is the third thrilling novel in Kunstler's "World Made By Hand" series, an exploration of family and morality as played out in the small town of Union Grove.
Following the catastrophes of the twenty-first centurythe pandemics, the environmental disaster, the end of oil, the ensuing chaospeople are doing whatever they can to get by and pursuing a simpler and sometimes happier existence. In little Union Grove in upstate New York, the townspeople are preparing for Christmas. Without the consumerist shopping frenzy that dogged the holidays of the previous age, the season has become a time to focus on family and loved ones. It is a stormy Christmas Eve when Robert Earle's son Daniel arrives back from his two years of sojourning throughout what is left of the United States. He collapses from exhaustion and illness, but as he recovers tells the story of the break-up of the nation into three uneasy independent regions and his journey into the dark heart of the New Foxfire Republic centered in Tennesee and led by the female evangelical despot, Loving Morrow. In the background, Union Grove has been shocked by the Christmas Eve double murder by a young mother, in the throes of illness, of her husband and infant son. Town magistrate Stephen Bullock is in a hanging mood.
A History of the Future is attention-grabbing and provocative, but also lyrical, tender, and comica vision of a future of America that is becoming more and more convincing and perhaps even desirable with each passing day.

Read an Excerpt
Two days before Christmas in the year that concerns us — a year yet to come in an America much beset by change — Brother Jobe, pastor, patriarch, and head honcho of the New Faith Covenant Brotherhood Church of Jesus, supervised the finishing touches on his pet project of the season: a tavern and place of fellowship on Main Street in the village of Union Grove, Washington County, New York.
Despite the hardship of recent years that had followed the bombs that destroyed Los Angeles and Washington, DC, and the attendant travails of a collapsed economy, and other serial calamities, this was a happy week for most of Union Grove's people. The growing season, which extended three weeks longer than in the previous decade, brought a bounteous harvest (apart from the troubling appearance of a previously unknown corn smut in a few farmers' fields). The town had gotten through the year without suffering a major epidemic like the ones that had burned through the region in past years and decimated the population, though there was plenty of routine illness for the weak and unlucky. A community laundry was close to opening in the repurposed Union-Wayland paper mill building beside the Battenkill River. It was the first new enterprise of size that the town had seen since the modern age drove itself into a ditch, a joint effort between the regular town folk and Brother Jobe's New Faith brethren. They had arrived in late spring seeking refuge from the disorders elsewhere in America, bought the vacant high school, moved their seventy-eight members into it, and done much to stimulate a revival of community spirits in Union Grove, for all their odd ways.
Being Christmas week, the townspeople did their best to make festivity visible without electric lights. Fir swags festooned the porches and wreaths hung on doors. Lighted candles on windowsills flickered defiance against the year's longest nights. Men and their children dragged balsam trees out of the woods and pine scent filled the crisp air all over town. Women pinned bright red sprays of winterberry onto their knitted hats as they went around trading and visiting. Horses wore holly sprigs on their cruppers as they clip-clopped along the streets. A bright sense of the holiday affected even the gloomier personalities around town, those who struggled in adjusting to the new ways of the new times. All that was missing was snow. The bare ground made everyone impatient for a new look. It had rained a few times the previous week, but when colder air finally swept through it felt as dry as the distant Canadian prairie it came from.
The farm laborers who lived in the village had been given the whole week off, with most of the year's work completed. Many were out and about in town enjoying their rare hours of leisure, stopping to chat with friends, and visiting the other Main Street businesses that the New Faith people had set up, including now the barbershop, the smoke shop, and Brother Jobe's "haberdash," which sold new-made clothing to people who had all but run through the last ragged remains of their off-the-rack manufactured casuals from the old times. Russo's bakery had received a shipment of scarce wheat flour from Albany that Stephen Bullock's Hudson River trade boat brought back on its weekly run, and the bakery shop window was filled with Christmas cookies, confections, fruit jellies, panettones, gingerbread men, and a wondrous great bûche de noël, the buttercream frosted roll cake tricked out like a Yule log, baked just that afternoon, with meringue mushrooms and holly leaves of filbert paste — which was rumored to be destined for Bullock's own table. Einhorn's general merchandise store had laid in a stock of goods intended to please children: sleds, chess boards, lacrosse sticks, dolls (in costumes that looked suspiciously like the New Faith getups), puppets, a rocking horse, skittles and bowls, knock hockey, marble mazes, jigsaw puzzles, all things made by hand. There was nothing electronic on display and few of the town's children would have even remembered what computer games were like. Terry Einhorn kept a big pot of cider warming on the woodstove for customers. His chore boy Buddy Haseltine, who had the mind of a child, wore a floppy Santa Claus hat and a broad smile as he carried in an armload of stove billets from out back. He loved this time of year when the store was so busy.
Brother Jobe's new Union Tavern stood at the center of all this activity, in the generous corner storefront where Van Buren Street came to a T at Main. The space, in a fine three-story redbrick business block with marble steps, lintels, and string courses, had originally been built to house Alger's Drug Store in the year 1902. It was operated by Alger's grandson until 1981 when a Walgreens opened in the strip mall at the edge of town. The loss of the soda fountain alone was a blow to the life of the town. For decades after that, the shop front was given over to Luddie's Pizza, with a big internally lighted plastic sign that spanned the frontage and turquoise paneling above. It covered up the whole Main Street facade, including all the upper-story windows. The interior was a motley assemblage of vinyl, linoleum, stainless steel, and other clashing materials, which had all looked even worse under the harsh fluorescent lighting. In those days, Americans virtually lived on pizza and consumed it in settings that would make livestock feel queasy. As it happened, the entire Luddie family perished in the Mexican flu epidemic, and that was that. Meanwhile, the wheat flour scarcity, the lack of gas for the ovens, and changing work routines put an end to the century-long pizza craze. Like a score of other shop fronts along Main Street, Luddie's remained dark and vacant for years as the economy sank.
Brother Jobe's crew had taken off the turquoise paneling to reveal the old brick and the graceful arched upper windows. Then they set about gutting the first-floor interior, including the now useless stack of pizza ovens, and rearranged the kitchen in the back. The renovated middle room featured cherrywood wainscoting, a selection of castoff sofas and easy chairs arranged in sociable groups about a big woodstove, and a row of cozy booths along the other wall. Removing the greasy drop ceiling revealed magnificent old pressed tin twelve feet high. Up front, the New Faith crew had installed a twenty-foot-long cherrywood bar backed by an impressive array of mirrors above a row of kegs that contained the best ciders, beers, and ales produced around Washington County. The original transom that spelled outalger's drugs in ethereal green, sapphire blue, and opalescent yellow stained glass had been rescued from the basement and was back above the door, while a new handpainted wooden sign over the breadth of the frontage spelled out union tavern in ocher letters that looked like old gold on a black background, with a welcoming pineapple stenciled at each end to denote hospitality. Both outside and in the place were decorated for the holiday with pine garlands and holly.
Brother Jobe paced fretfully in the front barroom, stopped, and pointed up at the chalkboard menu behind the bar.
"What do you mean 'hot soup'?" he asked Brother Micah, the bartender and nominally manager of the new establishment, which would open its doors to the public for the first time in just a little while.
"Hot soup?" Brother Micah said. "Everybody knows what that is."
"All soup is hot," Brother Jobe said. "Why not just say soup?"
"Well, you say 'hot' to give folks the idea that it'll warm them up on a cold day, make 'em feel good inside," said Brother Micah, who had once worked in a Golden Polenta franchise restaurant back in the old times.
Brother Jobe just stared wearily with a sour expression on his face. A wintry ache crept through his joints. Along with all his other duties and responsibilities, getting the tavern ready had worn him out. Back in the middle room, two New Faith sisters bustled about. One set out jars of the New Faith red hot chile sauce on the tables in the booths and another lighted candles in the tin wall sconces. Daylight was fading at four o'clock in the afternoon this time of year. A painted sign that hung beside the woodstove saidno card playing, marijuana, spitting on the premises.
"Ain't it self-evident that soup is hot?" Brother Jobe said.
"It's the psychology of the thing," Brother Micah said. "You see?"
"Hmph, psychology," Brother Jobe muttered. "I'll take a dram of whiskey."
"The Battenville light rye, the Eagle Bridge corn, or the Shushan what-have-you?"
"What-have-you? Did they stick a possum in the barrel or something?"
"It's not half bad."
"I'll try half a dram then. Sounds indifferent."
"It's different enough."
Brother Jobe scanned the other menu items on offer from the kitchen as he sipped the whiskey. Ham plate. Cheese plate. Hard sausage plate. Pulled pork plate. Variety plate. Chicken liver fry-up. Meatballs and gravy sauce. Corn dodger with pepper jelly. Tater tots ("our own!"). Cheese toast. Pickled eggs. Pickled peppers. Mixed pickles. Popcorn.
"What all is the darn soup, anyway?" Brother Jobe asked.
"Split pea with lard cracklings, I believe," Brother Micah said as he pounded a bung valve into a keg of Holyrood's special Christmas brew, pear scrumpy, a carbonated cider with a greater than average kick. A knock on the front window prompted both brothers to turn their heads. Peering through the glass was Robert Earle, carpenter by trade and, since last June, mayor of Union Grove. Brother Jobe waddled over to the door and let him in. Three other townsmen who had gathered out on the sidewalk made to follow Robert inside but Brother Jobe stopped them.
"Hey, let us in, too!" said Dennis Fontana, chicken house manager at Ned Larmon's big farm on Pumpkin Hill.
"Four-thirty, boys, like it says on that there sign in the window," Brother Jobe said.
"Aw, come on —"
He locked the door briskly behind Robert, who carried his fiddle case.
"You gonna grace us with some tunes here on our opening night?" Brother Jobe said. He pronounced it chunes.
"I'm on my way to Christmas practice," Robert said. By this he meant the music circle at Union Grove's First Congregational Church. They'd been rehearsing for months.
"I hear you all gonna put on a musicale Christmas Eve."
"That's right. Your bunch is welcome."
"We was thinking of putting on some carol singing ourself, mebbe Christmas Day, proper. You think some of your town folks might want to come over to our sanctuary for it? We got a heat system all rigged up. I aim to see we all mix more, your people and ours."
"Hang up a sign for it in the window here," Robert said. "Folks will see it. This place is all the talk of the town."
"Is that so?" Brother Jobe said, perking up visibly. Now there were five men and two women waiting outside for the place to open, one pressed right up against the window peering in. "You suppose they'll come regular, like?"
"Look at them out there. You're not insecure, are you?"
"Hmph," Brother Jobe said. "What do you think of the joint?"
"I like it. Your boys did a nice job."
"It ain't exactly a come-to-Jesus spot, but we're all for fellowship whatever style it comes in."
"How'd a guy like you ever learn the bar business?" Robert said.
"It ain't brain surgery. My daddy had a half-interest in a roadhouse in Gate City, Virginia. Ugly little burg full of hillbillies. I worked there one summer as the fry cook and learned just how the partner was robbing us. Daddy burned the place down and collected on the insurance. The partner happened to electrocute himself in his own hot tub a month later. Vengeance is the Lord's, I guess. Won't you have a taste of something on the house?"
"I came by to give you my invoice."
Robert handed Brother Jobe a folded sheet of paper. Robert had been working for two months outfitting the interior of a special chamber over in the former high school. The work had involved very exacting marquetry and a coffered ceiling. It was designed to be the winter quarters of the New Faith's clairvoyant epileptic spiritual guide Mary Beth Ivanhoe, also known among them as Precious Mother or the Queen Bee.
"We appreciate the fine job you done," Brother Jobe said. "I was just sampling this here whiskey, the Shushan what-have-you. It's got bark and bite both. Try a glass."
"Sure, thanks," Robert said.
The crowd was yet growing outside on the sidewalk. A few were clean-shaven New Faith members in broad-brimmed hats. Carol singing could be heard among them.
Brother Jobe called for two more whiskeys, then glanced down at the invoice.
"Shoo-wee," he said. It was for $350, payable in silver. "You kept track of your hours, I suppose."
"Yes I did."
"Sure you won't take paper money? It'll work out to more than a half million bucks if you do."
"People don't like paper dollars anymore."
"You'd feel rich, though."
Robert shifted his weight on the stool. "I'd only be fooling myself," he said.
"I'm just funnin' with you, old son. Come by my office at headquarters and you'll be paid in full in hard silver coin. Say, what if our choir put on a free concert on Main Street on Christmas Day? Right on the town hall steps or something. Think your townies would turn out for that?"
"It's possible."
"Spread the word, then. We'll do it! Now lookit, I'm about to throw the doors open, first time ever. Won't you give us just one tune to kick her off?"
"Oh, all right."
By the time Brother Jobe let the public in there were twenty-three people waiting. Seven were women. Robert Earle played a medley of "Deck the Halls," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "Jingle Bells," and by the time he stopped there was such a groan of protest from the now thirty-five people standing three deep at the bar that it was all he could do to get out of the place.CHAPTER 2
When dire events overtook American life and the economy collapsed and so many once normal arrangements dissolved with it, and everything changed in a matter of months, Andrew Pendergast's true romance with the world began. It manifested in a rebirth of his gratitude for being. The world tilted, but he had anticipated and prepared for it and the tilt affected him favorably, especially his internal demeanor, which was one of a cheerful engagement with reality. His work as a freelance editor of scientific books and journals evaporated, of course, as so many livelihoods did, but before long so did any need to make monthly mortgage and car payments to a bank that no longer functionally existed, nor to an electric company that no longer delivered service, or the phone company, or the Internet provider, or any other entity that had formerly claimed some obligation from him. With every far-flung corporate network down, from the state and federal governments with their tax collectors to the skein of rackets that had posed as health care, the vast parasitical armature of institutions and corporations lost its grip on those who had survived the difficult transition and the epidemics, and Andrew Pendergast, for one, blossomed.
Andrew had no family left. He had lost his only sibling, a sister he had idolized, in a waterskiing accident when she was sixteen and he was twelve. His parents never lived to see the global collapse. Andrew was a bachelor who lived alone. In the old times, he defined himself and the precinct of his daily life as gay, meaning homosexual. Now, with the old contexts dissolved, it was no longer possible to think that way. His personal map of the world had changed as much as the geography he was immersed in.
He had survived a decade of adventures in the New York City publishing world and its extracurricular social venues. He had felt himself an outsider even in that lively subculture. Then, seeing the disorders blossom in politics, banking, and oil, he very deliberately planned his escape from that life to a new one in the distant upper Hudson River valley, a region he had discovered on B & B weekends before everything fell apart. On one of those forays upstate, he had seen the house for sale on Cottage Street. The seller was "highly motivated" due to financial reverses, the realtor disclosed in a low whisper. This was the case for a lot of unfortunate people at the time. Andrew bought the house, moved up from the city, and worked his freelance editing jobs at a remove until the bomb in Washington, DC, tanked the nation's economy altogether and scattered the remnants of its government. By then, though, he had made a beachhead for himself in Union Grove.(Continues…)

Customer Reviews
Since the fall of the country as we know it, people are doing whatever they can to survive without electricity and other advantages of pre-collapse. This story takes a look at the world and how they have survived after the collapse. It is around Christmas time and everyone is getting ready for the holiday when tragedy strikes. A young mother kills bother her husband and her son. Union Grove is going to have to find a place to lock her up. They also need to create some form of justice system to punish her for her deeds. At the same time, Robert's son Daniel has returned after traveling around the country. He tells about the different people, territories, and events that are happening. I love apocalyptic stories and this is right along my line. I really like how the community has revived after the loss of modern conveniences. Of course with the double murder it brings another problem to light. What are they going to do with her? What kind of legal proceeding will they have? I really liked the descriptions of the rest of the country and what other areas were doing. I have not read the other books in this series but I will be adding them to my purchase list. I think this is a great view of what could happen and what some people would do to survive. This is a great book and I recommend people to check it out. I received A History of the Future for free a long time ago in exchange for an honest review.
Great read
As I read this book I wonered if JHK was under a word/page contract for this latest edition. I didn't need to be reminded that Bullock is a near despot on his plantation, Loran is not only the town cop but he is also the preacher, Robert Earle used to be a computer exec but is now a carpenter and that Andy Pendergrast prefers the company of men in his bed to that of women. Other than that the book was enjoyable.
Pulling a copy of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in The Willows off a bookshelf, Andrew Pendergast, without question James Howard Kunstler's most autobiographical character in this series so far, sits at the bedside of his friend Jack Harron, who is recuperating from a deadly fight with an assailant bent on murdering them both. "What's it about?" Jack said when Andrew held up the cover. "A rat and a mole and a badger and a toad who mess around in boats down by a little stream in the English countryside." "They all get along, all these different animals?" Jack said. "They're all friends," Andrew said. "It's a book about friendship." A History of The Future is a book about friendship. It describes another hard won Christmas season in the lives of the citizens of Union Grove, a Hudson Valley town that we have come to know and appreciate in previous installments of the World Made By Hand series. Back are many of the earlier characters, including some we have not seen for quite some time, and new and even more interesting refugees enter our circle of friends. The novel is an exploration of the process of rebuilding a broken civilization, even as the old continues to decay and collapse in both expected and unexpected ways. Civil society cannot be rebuilt by solitary individuals, religious charismatics, wealthy aristocrats, or fascist dictators although all those find a place in this future world. It takes the whole lot — the rats, the moles, the badgers and the toads — struggling to cooperate as friends, to find common ground and stand a chance. Kunstler is a moralist. His good guys win. The bad guys get what they deserve, or are just left to inhabit whatever Hell they've made for themselves. The tale, though, revolves around what a good guy has to do, just to survive. The Yiddish word beshert refers to that which God has given. And, in Judaism — as in Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and probably every other religion — there has always been a heated debate about how much of fate is determined by higher authority — a monster in the sky, as Paul Erhlich says — and how much is the result of human choices — good and bad. To quote Maimonides, "Every human being can be righteous or wicked, merciful or cruel, avaricious or charitable. There is no compulsion exerted upon one. A person chooses one's way with one's own determination." Maimonides, who lived in Spain at the end of the 12th century, also did not think of progress in terms of technological or cultural advancement, as cumulative. Maimonides said it was cyclical. This is the aboriginal view, and for someone in his time and place, or even now, it's quite a radical notion. For Kunstler, we can foretell our future by simply surveying the contemporary milieu — global Ponzi economics, gas gauge on 'E', weather getting weird — but history is circular. After the cataclysm comes another Christmas. We have often disagreed with Kunstler's provincial view of the American South as it occasionally pops up in his nonfiction essays and books. Kunstler is such a devout Yankee that he has often portrayed New England wisdom and ingenuity as the sole province of the old Union; that below the Mason-Dixon Line there be nothing but Skol-chewing bubbas, hearing-damaged NASCAR fanatics, racial bigots and fried food junkies imprisoned by air conditioning. The War of Northern Aggression, in our humble opinion, was, like most wars, all about energy. The North was rich in coal and the factories run by that magnificent jewel of fossil sunlight. Then, mid-18th century, Col. Drake discovered bubbling "coal oil" in Pennsylvania, a real game changer. In contrast to these überpowerful energy slaves, the Southern states operated on the old economy, you know, the human and animal-powered one. The one that built the pyramids of Egypt and Mesoamerica, and Machu Picchu and the Great Wall. The Southern plantation economy was based on imports of African slaves. The North had the luxury of enough fossil energy slaves to afford emancipation of its human ones. The moral rectitude to actually do so gradually arrived, in fits and starts. Then they had to lord it over everyone else. Until Texas and Louisiana discovered oil half a century later, the South had no such leeway. In the epic 19th Century contest between machine power and humans, the machine won. A region of the United States that was militarily superior in the acumen of its Generals, the skill of its cavalry and the esprit of brotherly men in arms was occupied and enslaved, then punished for more than a century, reduced to the lowest echelons on every index of human welfare, and finally addicted to talk radio, NASCAR and air conditioning. But don't count them out. Surprisingly, Kunstler doesn't. He takes a more generous tack in A History of the Future. The South, while enthralled by Christian bigots, has established itself as a rival government to what is left of the federal sovereignty, rumored to be somewhere up in the Great Lakes. The center of this rival government is at Franklin, Tennessee, a town with which we are personally very familiar — Old Highway 31S is a route we've bicycled. Franklin today embodies much of what Kunstler-the-non-fiction-expert-on-urban-design lauds. It revitalized its pedestrian downtown by moving traffic out to encircling corridors; enshrined its landmark buildings; in-filled the broken teeth on Main Street with antebellum vernacular; and revived the local arts, theater and music scene. While it has become for now a tony bedroom community for wealthy Nashville commuters, it is a perfect setting for a national capitol in a more austere and decentralized future. In many ways, Franklin Tennessee is Union Grove, only hotter. The World Made By Hand series gives only short glimpses of the changes in weather that lie in store for any future history. There may be a shortage of wheat or a ruined season for other crops, but Union Grove still gets snow in winter. Sacramento is still above water and apparently no one has died of insect swarms or clathrate flares. Changes in climate, which are almost certain to radically alter our lives in the next 50 years, are not really part of this story. In any science fiction yarn that becomes a series a writer has to be alert to the danger of revealing too much backstory lest new narrative choices are straightjacketed in with the old, or worse, the details he describes are so ludicrous in light of actual events that his work later falls into ridicule. In his first two novels, much of Kunstler's imagined history remained cloaked in mystery and conjecture. As the dust jacket tells the casual browser, "The electricity has flickered out. The automobile age is over. The computers are all down for good. Two great cities have been destroyed. Epidemics have ravaged the population. The people of a little town named Union Grove, in upstate New York, know little about what is going on outside Washington County." The third novel gives a much larger sweep of the shocks that presaged the predicament in which the people of Union Grove find themselves. Our "messenger," Robert Earle's long lost son Daniel, arrives back on Christmas Eve, near dead from exhaustion and hunger, to tell the story of what he saw "out there." So gripping is his story that in the print edition, Grove Atlantic has set it apart with a change of font and format. It is a novel within a novel, and we would defy anyone to set it down for longer than it takes to refill a teacup. With Daniel's story Kunstler has us in his grip, but he teases us with the intermittent resumption of the "real time" plots and subplots, leaving us hanging onto our curiosity as we wade through the needs of Union Groves' badgers and moles for their part in the tale. Kunstler is teaching us patience, an attribute that our digital world is trying hard to render obsolete. It is an essential skill for the turn that our collective sense of passing time is poised to make. When you walk from home to work, or to shop; when you sit out to watch the sunset instead of the television; when you spend a day teaching yourself bicycle mechanics, watercolor, or cheese making — you are once again present in the world. To the uninitiated, peering in at this scenario for the future, it all seems so very quaint. Hardly. "I got forty-six highly motivated skilled men with good tools," Brother Jobe tells Magistrate Stephen Bullock. "That's my insurance. And, by the way, if you thought that was funny, it ain't."

Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF), through its newly established Internal Treasury Unit, has invested in excess of N$8 billion in Government paper, Board of Trustees Chairman, Goms Menette, said this week.
The revelation by Menette comes as analysts have said that demand for new Government debt has virtually dried up over the past two years.
The Windhoek Observer reported in October last year that Government continues to struggle to secure takers for its debt instruments, with a bond auction held at the time managing to raise only N$3,25 million from the N$160 million sought.
In another auction held in September to raise N$2 billion, GIPF is said to have taken up more than 90 percent of the debt while other investors stayed away.
Menette said a further N$5,9 billion in assets were swapped with the Bank of Namibia to support the international reserves of the country. He added that further sales of this portfolio will over time be invested in local Government instruments.
Analysts have previously warned of GIPF's increased exposure to Government securities, which have been shunned by other investors including commercial banks.
Economist Rowland Brown recently told the Windhoek Observer that the rapid increases in the debt stock, with an effective doubling of outstanding debt over the past two years, has firstly outpaced the growth in assets looking for a home, and secondly has made many of the conventional buyers of Government debt cautious, when it comes to increasing their holdings.
Namibia Equity Brokers Head of Research, Alfred Kamupingene, has also previously opined that concerns over the proposed National Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) and the decision by ratings agency, Fitch, to revise Namibia's outlook from stable to negative were some of the factors impacting on investor appetite for the Government issued paper.
"The confluence of these two factors is now manifesting themselves in investors either through undersubscribing to the sovereigns or asking huge premia in order for them to touch the sovereigns," he said.
Speaking during GIPF's annual stakeholders' consultative meeting held in Windhoek on Tuesday, Menette said as at end of March 2017, the Fund's total asset value stood at N$99,5 billion, after recording an annual return of 5,84 percent against the benchmark of 4,59 percent.
Of these assets, 49,15 percent were invested in Namibia; 26,29 percent on the international market, while 18,08 percent were in South Africa and 6,48 percent invested in the rest of Africa.
In terms of asset class, at least 56,8 percent of total assets were invested in equities, 22,82 percent in fixed interest assets, 15,17 percent in property and 2,55 percent in private equity.
Other asset classes comprised of cash (2,08 percent) and derivatives (0,04 percent).
Menette said GIPF, through First Capital Real Estate Finance Fund, had received N$1 billion, which had been fully invested and had assisted close to 2,000 members by providing finance to acquire houses.
The Fund also assisted in the construction of 735 general and single residential housing units across the country. In addition, the Fund recently approved the servicing of 327 single residential plots and the construction of 180 housing units in the affordable housing segment.
Windhoek has the highest number of houses constructed to date at 318, Otjiwarongo 69, Okahandja 65, Ongwediva 52, Otavi 48, Keetmanshoop 40, Arandis 33, Rundu 20, Eenhana 15, Tsumeb 14 and only one in Swakopmund.

A further N$300 million was availed for the purposes of land servicing. To date, the Fund has serviced 391 stands at a selling price of N$120,000.
Menette said GIPF had further committed N$2 billion to a second round of fund managers with unlisted mandates in the areas of venture capital, debt funds, infrastructure funds and general private equity.

Claiming with a Purpose, with the Blessings of the Inventor
This post was first published on March 1, 2010. Claims draw the boundary to the invention that is being claimed. The boundary that is being drawn must be carefully done in order to ensure that the claims serve their purpose. The point here is that every claim must have a specific purpose and must be targeted to a potentially infringing product or process, or be targeted to protect a specific implementation (in case of defensive approach). In order for the practitioner to be able to do that, he must have a clear understanding of how a product or process is implemented...Continue reading

... it's COMING!!!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
NEW acquisition...
... it's COMING!!!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
Duh da - duh da - duh da - duh da...
Meet ya' at the bridge.
Duh da - duh da - duh da - duh da!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
Duh da - duh da - duh da - duh da!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
Meet ya' at the bridge.
MORE accoutrements to come...
Meet ya' at the bridge.
STOOPID photobucket - you're not ruining MY new acquisition!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
I can't remember the last time a COMPLETE project was this slow in getting done. I'm guessing because so much stuff was custom ordered/custom made.
And speaking of which... my Vickers BFG sling finally arrived today!
HK clips are going the way of the dodo bird apparently, so I decided to go with MASH hooks for the first time. I all honesty, the factory mounting points on the CZ are really designed for an OLD school web sling. There's a nominal concession at the top for HK clips (or now, MASH hooks) - LAPG used to make a really GOOD sling with HK clips that I think would fit better (I have one in FDE on my Spikes 'Snowflake' build), but alas... they're out of them these days.
Because of the extra weight of this piece, I'm going to appreciate the Vickers padding in the long run, but these MASH hooks will take some getting used to. I suspect both mounting points and the hooks will grind a fair bit off of each other in time...
NONETHELESS... I'm assembled now, and hitting the range with a few friends next Monday.
Thing is, with it slung, I feel like this oughta be playing!
Meet ya' at the bridge.
Writeup I did elsewhere, since it's been to the range now, too. Figgered I may as well share it youse guys too.
Believe it or not... I'd NEVER heard of the 805, until a few months ago.
I'm nominally up-to-date on AR's, primarily, and had been leaning more and more towards building an AR pistol the past few years. And suddenly - THIS appeared on my favorite local shoppe's FAZEbook page back on April 10!
I INSTANTLY fell in love, and decided I had to have it! I started looking at a couple of AR's, and some under-the-mattress-money to trade towards it... and like THAT: it was sold!
I resolved to learn everything I could about this beauty, and started researching prices EVERYWHERE (and I can see why this one went FAST - it WAS a good price!).
So I'm researching for a month, running prices everywhere, and finally scrape together enough pocket change, to get one for around $1,500. So the day I'm READY to, ahem, pull the trigger... a "Buy-it-NOW" auction for a NiB model pops up on G-B, for $1,378!
I already had an Aimpoint T-1 2moa optic waiting for it. Had to add a few other items, LIKE:
- KNS M-lok lower rail & siderails
- KNS knurled charging handle
- GG&G absolute co-witness mount for the T-1
- Magpul M-lok light rail
- Inforce WML 400 lumen weaponlight
- SBT805 folding brace (got a decent deal on a used one off G-B)
- Magpul M-lok handstop, ladders
- Troy (full-size) BUIS
So now I need something to tote it around in. I wanted something discreet, since it is a 'fold-able' package. For my MONEY... WRB out of Texas made the nicest case. I went with the 25 1/2" case, JUST so I didn't get one too small. In retrospect, I think the 23" case might've worked as well.
I ESPECIALLY like, that the mag pouches are on the INSIDE, so it doesn't SCREAM - DISCREET WEAPON CASE, RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!
You get two (2) dual mag cases, a suppressor pouch (don't have one, so I stuck a CaT in there - seems a GOOD thing to have handy when shooting! I have two more on my chest rig), and that clear ID pouch, for any paperwork. And all that's Velcro adjustable, as are the weapon tie-downs, as you can see below.
SPEAKING of toting it around... I needed a sling... but which to get?
Trying to run a sling through the factory sling mounts was TIGHT... & eyeballing even the bulge at the top, I knew that would be awfully tight for even an HK clip. So I took a chance, on having a Vickers BFG sling custom built for it.
NEVER had a padded sling before - I run Tactical Link and Gear Sector slings on my rifles, and have had good service with both brands. Couldn't WAIT for it to arrive, and it did NOT disappoint - the quality is self evident.
I went with the MASH hooks, since they looked thinner; it looked like it would work well with the thin sling mounts.
It LOOKED good, and the sling FELT good, BUUUUUUT... the MASH hooks kept binding. They WEREN'T gonna hurt the mount, but it would've ground the hooks down eventually. So I had to let the sling go.
CONSEQUENTLY, I went back to what I KNOW works - even with the HK clips. And now it sports a Gear Sector 2pt. sling.
And I think it MIGHT be complete!
And yeah, I moved the charging handle to the OTHER side. On the left (being a righty), it was getting hung up in my chest rig. So to the AK side it went!
It HAS been to the range - reminds me of a classic '60's muscle car. It's LOUD, you could flash fry a hotdog in the muzzle blast, you could cook the fries on the front of it, when it starts heating up (shooting gloves are a MUST by the end of two 30rd. mags!); it's heavy, barks like an angry rhino, but runs like a dream.
And it's dead-nuts ACCURATE at CQB range with M193, which is PRECISELY what I wanted it for!
Oh - and LIKE a good muscle car, it scared the (scatological reference redacted) out of everybody at the range...
Meet ya' at the bridge.
My newest toy ?
Bushmaster AR-15 with a Nikon Long range scope.
New handrail able to be equipped with a bi-pod if desired.
Love it!
Stay alert, stay calm, stay alive... Stay human!!!

Cloudboss Pro Review
Cloudboss pro is another, front line, cutting edge facilitating empowering programming administration for cutting edge SEOs who require a streamlined approach to set up and keep up their blog frameworks. It goes about as a platform between the SEO and a couple of Cloud Services, to unravel the process of managing your encouraging records while helping your goals to avoid Google's curious eyes. This is why a Cloudboss proreview is needed.
Notwithstanding the way that this product is new and inventive, the creator, Terry Kyle, is not a newcomer to the universe of SEO. Any person who's been around SEO for any time allotment will see the name of Terry Kyle. Terry is a finished SEO ace who was starting now has a couple of productive and trusted SEO products accessible. He is similarly the proprietor of an encouraging Association and an SEO firm. He keeps the engaged forefront of new improvements and puts out simply top notch products.
The cloud organizations have a huge degree obfuscated setups and interfaces that are past the limits of generally SEOs. Cloudboss.pro improves the process of acquainting destinations with the cloud colossally – allowing customers to present districts with a few ticks. Without a doubt, even give modest bunches or hundreds on autopilot.
Dissimilar to other SEO facilitating administrations, Cloudboss.pro clients don't utilize any assets that are specifically imparted to different SEOs or different Cloudboss clients. Therefore, and a few various reasons Google won't have the capacity to focus on your locales.
Any individual who does SEO as a profession or to promote a site online for profiting would be all around assisted by having own Blog Network or PBN with a specific end goal to push their destinations up in the query items. Nonetheless, private blog systems can be extremely hard to set up, arrange, and keep up – particularly in the cloud. Cloudboss expels a significant amount of the cerebral pain and bother of making and keeping up a PBN, permitting you to concentrate on different things like profiting.
Top notch approaching connections are a standout amongst essential things with regards to building a site rank great on Goggle. Read more about the software here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cloudboss-pro-provides-cloud-hosting-100000171.html

Hypocrisy should not be a political value.
As lefties, we'll leave it for the right to police their own; however, we will hold our own ranks accountable.
2008 was one of the most appalling and illuminating years.
We saw that inexcusable behaviors would either be minimized or outright ignored in order to whore for a candidate.
Which is how Barack Obama was able to stage a campaign event in South Carolina back in November 2007 featuring numerous homophobes on stage and get away with it. FAIR provided no action alert. Semi-closeted lesbian Laura Flanders chose to misdirect by asking Barack to break with Richard Daley over torture. Only The Progressive and the Black Agenda Report called out a leading Democratic candidate for the party's presidential nomination use of homophobia.
Mere months later, Amy Goodman and the anti-religious religious fanatic would slam John McCain because an endorser of his was a homophobe. Suddenly, homophobia mattered again. Until Barack got his homophobes back out to meet and greet for the 'swing-state tour' leading up to the general election.
Then, yet again, all was quiet on the left front.
Sexism was repeatedly ignored.
Katrina vanden Heuvel showed a bit of bravery calling out MSNBC vermin who suggested Hillary was "pimping" her daughter. In part, it was brave because it was one of the few times that The Nation bothered to call out sexism. It wasn't just The Nation ignoring the sexism. Though FAIR's CounterSpin found real racism and what they pretended was racism to call out every week of the fall of 2007 through 2009, they only found time to call out sexism once -- for one brief sentence -- at the end of May 2008. Back to The Nation, Katha Pollitt would reveal in the summer of 2008 (in a column calling out sexist Tom Hayden) that she was "doing my part" for Barack by refusing to call out sexism. Gee, Katha, when did you become a Barackist? We'd thought you were still pretending to be a feminist.
Feminism doesn't allow anyone the luxury of ignoring sexism.
Now, as you look around, you see the damages you've created by your silences.
Guess what?
There's more damage to come.
As Grace once warned Will, (Will & Grace, Alley Cats), "Oh, oh, and by the way, once you let Jeannie out of the bottle, there's no way she's going back to that little circle couch."
And as for you who built this Frankenstein monster -- either via whoring or silence -- you own him. Don't think you can show up -- Norman Solomon, Kevin Zeese, David Swanson, et al -- and pretend like your own hands are clean. You need to publicly take accountability for your actions.
For years and years, the likes of FAIR have attacked MSM reporters and pundits for being wrong and not admitting to their mistakes. Yet it's 2010 and to hear the newly emerging from the womb critics of Barack tell it, they were always critics of Barack, they were always warning you (Alexander Cockburn is one of the worst at this -- forgetting that he went back and forth every month on whether he was trashing Barack or cheering him on).
It's not just time to get accountable. It's time to get serious about what the so-called media of the left is supposed to be doing.
It is not supposed to be a Democratic Party organ. Come 2012, the refusal to cover Green Party and independent candidates, the refusal to do anything other than shill for the Democratic Party in an attempt to elect a Democratic President will be very, very obvious. We think your hypocrisy has already exposed you as the whores you are. But the thing about whores is, it's so very hard for them to pass up a buck. Meaning 2012 might feature even more exposures. Don't forget, the world is watching.

Here we go again! A huge number of links this week, but plenty of interesting news, so be sure to check it all out! Thanks to everyone in the community for creating all the news! 🙂 If there is anything you want me to include, email me or contact me on twitter – my contact details are to the right.
- Want to go to JavaOne? Don't have the cash to fly to San Francisco and buy the JavaOne tickets? You may be in luck, Sun and CodeProject have a competition going where the first prize is tickets (up to $1500USD worth), and a JavaOne conference pass. All you need to do is write an article about Java (including JavaFX I'm sure), and be the top-rated article (judged by both your peers and Sun) . And if anyone wins and doesn't need the tickets, I'd gladly appreciate them 😉
- Fabrizio Giudici posts that he has forked the Beans Binding project .
- Jan Haderka has announced that SwingX 0.9.6 has been released , which should be the last release before the 1.0 release. There are a number of bug fixes and code cleanups in this release, and even includes my first contribution to the project 🙂 If you are not using SwingX , I seriously recommend that you explore the various components offered by the project.
- Ken Orr posts about an application developed by Dirk Lemmermann which looks very polished . It makes use of the Mac Widgets for Java project , and the post includes a number of screenshots which should serve as inspiration for many UI developers out there.
- Christopher Deckers got in touch with me to let me know that a new version of DJ Native Swing has been released . DJ Native Swing allows for easy integration between some native components and Swing applications, and provides native utilities to enhance Swing's APIs.
- Alexander Potochkin (the current leader of the Swing Application Framework project) posts that the project is on the lookout for people to help contribute to it . I have a feeling this request has fallen on deaf ears – the SAF mailing list has been very quiet recently. If you think you can help, please, get in touch with Alexander and/or get on to the SAF mailing list. Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like the SAF project is lacking a vision, so it would be good to have that clarified.
- The Swing JavaBuilder project has had it's final 0.3 release . This project attempts to make it possible to build Swing user interfaces with a declarative markup language.
- JavaFX 1.1.1 has been released, prompting many to believe that the JavaFX versioning scheme is based on binary arithmetic. Despite this, Danny Coward has posted a quick summary with all the relevant links .
- Drew posts about his thoughts on JavaFX, and whether it is right for you .
- Wanting to do 3D in JavaFX? Following on from last weeks link, I have a direct link to the people behind the code . On their site is a few demos that you can run as webstart applications/applets.
- Richard Bair posts to show how he formats his JavaFX code . This is an odd discussion to have, but given how new the language is, best practises have yet to be worked out.
- JavaWorld has a tutorial on how to use a Swing spinner component in JavaFX . Following this tutorial, you should understand how to use other Swing components in JavaFX.
- Having never used db4o , I can't offer much insight to the next post. However, according to the db4o developers, JavaFX plays nicely with it, allowing for <insert whatever db4o does> to work .
- James Connell posts about how he made a JavaFX game using the JavaFX production suite . I haven't had a chance to read this indepth yet, but he appears to go into a lot of detail that'll no doubt be invaluable to other JavaFX developers/designers.
- James Weaver , as per usual, has been busy promoting JavaFX. He has a puzzler for people to try to develop (solutions are in the comments) and a link to a very sad looking JavaFX petstore demo (at least align the components!).
- Last week Andres Almiray's (@aalmiray ) website was down, so I held back some of his links until this post. In one post, he talks about assorted Griffon 0.1.0 features . In another post, he discusses various builders offered that make building Swing-based user interfaces easier .
- James Williams (@ecspike ) has a post containing a video from his presentation in Sydney regarding Griffon and how it relates to Swing . You need to click the 'On Demand' button and select his video from the list.
That's it – have a great week everyone!

Finding inner peace while travelling
Traveling can develop our knowledge about the place we visit; but it also builds our understanding of its people as well as the local customs and culture. Another important reason why people go on vacation and organized tours is to look for serenity. Religious people and spiritual individuals set out on spiritual journeys to near or distant places to find inner tranquility.
A lot of people go on a trip to relax and feel good after the stress of daily routines. The ambassador of peace Prem Rawat has also been on several spiritual retreats in some parts of the world to find mind tranquility. How to find inner peace while traveling?
Unplug yourself when you are away
At work, we constantly work with electronic devices like computers and i-phones. Others work with noisy machines and equipment. Every day, we spend very long hours online to get abreast of events happening in town, in the country and even in the world. Aside from that, it is fascinating to get striking pieces of news from our friends and relatives via social networks. All those tasks are combined with the daily occupations and deadlines.
Therefore, it is not surprising that we feel burnt out. Burnout is due to the extreme pressure we put on ourselves in order to produce quick results. If such is the case, it is essential that you set out on a pacific journey at the seaside or near a lake in the forests. When you go, it is crucial that you unplug yourself from the frenetic pressure of social networking and occupations.
Instead, take good care of yourself by focusing on introspection. Slow down and focus on your life priorities, which consist of finding inner peace. Spend more time for yourself when you can focus on prayers, meditation, holy verses readings, and spiritual development.
Adopt minimalism mindset
It is needless to say that the more material wealth you accumulate, the more dangerous it is, because these can attract burglars and thieves. Minimalism consists of living with only the basic necessities of life; therefore, you avoid clustering your room with unnecessary things.
When you travel regularly, it teaches you to satisfy yourself with only the basic needs in life, which makes life more peaceful. Minimalism helps you not to worry too much about the safety of your home even if you are away. Besides, it enables you to travel more frequently because you are not bound by the feeling of home insecurity which prevents some people from discovering places and finding mind tranquility.
Traveling teaches life skills
When you are a visitor in a place, you can learn to be in good terms with foreign people. By making new acquaintances, you can discover new cultures and lifestyles. In addition, it teaches you different life skills that you won't be able to get if you stay within the same community or neighborhood. Traveling teaches you to deal and communicate with different kinds of people. It enhances understanding, mutual help and generosity.
For example, when you travel, it is common to ask people the way when you get lost in unfamiliar places. Before traveling, though, it is primordial to learn about the culture of the people in the place you will visit so as to avoid culture shock. Thus, it is possible to find inner peace when you go on a trip.
Traveling fosters emotional management
By traveling to some of the places where people are struggling for peace because of violence and wars, and where children die from malnutrition or epidemic diseases, it is clear that we learn to control our emotions and refrain from nagging over unnecessary things. Frequent complaints are strenuous, and these can absolutely attract more negative energy and problems.
Therefore, to find inner peace, learn to manage your emotions by being grateful to God, and pray for those who suffer from violence and insecurity. Also, think about engaging in some sort of humanitarian acts like what Prem Rawat is doing, and help those who are deprived of their basic rights in order to find inner peace.

New Site Babybreaks Launches To The Media
Family-friendly info-site BabyBreaks.com has appointed travel and lifestyle PR firm Turtle to launch the brand to the UK media and beyond.
Offering a unique one stop shop platform concept, BabyBreaks aims to inspire families with inspiring accommodation, restaurant and activity ideas for families with babies, toddlers and small children.
Spotting a huge gap in the UK market, BabyBreaks was founded in 2018 by Guillaume Thevenot who, as a father himself, struggled to find a website that catered for young families.
The free platform covers the very best places for families to visit in the UK and Europe. Users are also able to find child-friendly hotels and holiday homes and book via different third-party booking agents. BabyBreaks will also soon launch an opt-in weekly newsletter, full of the finest UK and European leisure inspiration, exclusive offers and travel ideas for little people and their families.
Turtle will create a unique communications strategy for BabyBreaks, to raise both the brand and Thevenot s profiles in the travel, family and lifestyle press.
Thevenot states: We are delighted to be working with Turtle. We plan to spread the word about BabyBreaks, as the best and only site families need for hassle-free travel ideas. Turtle immediately identified with our aims and we are excited to start engaging with press about our unique concept.
He continues: We are also launching BabyBreaks during and exciting growth period for the family travel market. According to ABTA statistics* young families with children under five are the segment of society who travel the most, taking on average four holidays per year. Our mission is to become the go-to website for these some eight million UK families, to help make travel make a stress-free experience.
Leila Stocker, Turtle PRs Director says: We are thrilled to start working with BabyBreaks and relish the challenge ahead, of gaining exposure for the site through the consumer media.
Thevenot worked for nearly 20 years for several online travel companies including TripAdvisor, Booking.com and Voyage Privé, before deciding to launch his own venture, BabyBreaks. He is father to a six-year-old daughter and a 10-year old boy.
