The Revelation of 7-11
Martin Banner
Recently while on a trip to Northern Canada the Lord showed me the following revelation. One night while I was praying and seeking God in prayer the Lord spoke to me and said "7-11 take note". I looked up at the clock and it read 7:11 on the clock. The next evening while I was again praying the same thing occurred. The Lord spoke to me "7-11 take note". I again looked up at the clock as I did the previous night and again it read 7:11 on the clock.
I then started to seek the Lord as to the meaning of this and what 7-11 meant. After seeking the Lord for some time about this, the Lord spoke to me the following "there is an event coming on 7-11 that will begin World War III and the rise of the little horn the antichrist". The Lord then showed me the scripture in Daniel 7:11 which speaks about the rise of the little horn the antichrist and He then showed me that this number 7-11 is the number of the little horn... the antichrist.
Dan. 7:11
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake...
We then started to have this number 7-11 come to us in many ways. We received a post card from 7-11 spaghetti sauce from Italy; we then received an electric bill for 711 kilowatt hours. Then I was watching a football game where they repeatedly stopped the game with 7:11 seconds left in the quarter and would then show the scoreboard with the time 7:11 in the middle of the screen and then they would go to a commercial. This happened several times during the game.
The Lord later showed me that September means seventh month and that the 7-11 date is on the Julian calendar and that September is the 7th month on the Julian calendar.
I was shown that there is an event coming on 7-11 that will begin World War III and will begin the rise of the little horn the antichrist. I was also shown the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns with the little horn the antichrist being the 11th horn, which gives us the number 7-11, which is the number of the antichrist.
I was not shown what year this event would occur, nor was I shown where it would occur or what this event would be, but only that there is an event coming. This event on September 11th will begin World War III and the rise of the little horn the antichrist.
NOTE: Many have falsely applied the number 666 to the antichrist but this number 666 is the number of the beast. The beast is the Dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns and represents world government. The antichrist is the little horn, the eleventh horn that rises up with the 10 horns and the number of the antichrist is 711.
FulfillmentThe fulfillment of the prophetic word I received while in Canada in 1998 came on September 11, 2001 when the terrorists attacked America and destroyed the twin towers in NYC. This event I believe fulfilled every aspect of the word I was given in 1998.
I want to condemn this horrific act of terrorism perpetrated against the American people and all acts of terrorism committed anywhere against anyone. Acts of terror and fear, designed to manipulate people, are condemned by God and by His word.
I want to also pray and ask God for healing for all those who lost loved ones, family, and friends in this terrible event. Our prayers and our sympathy go out to each and every one of you and we pray for healing for your hurt and pain. The word of God says to weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn and I know that many of you have suffered an irreplaceable loss, due to this wicked and evil criminal act.
First I was told there was an event coming on 7-11 on the Julian calendar. If you look at any Julian calendar you will see that 7-11 on the Julian calendar is September 11th.
Second I was told that the event that was coming would begin World War III. Many believe this event has begun World War III and that this war on terror is the beginning of World War III. President Bush has even declared that 9-11 began World War III.
Third I was told that the coming event would begin the rise of the little horn the antichrist. This event has changed many things and we will have to wait and see who the antichrist is, but we know that the bible describes him as a "little horn". This means he is insignificant in the eyes of the world community and he is not a major world leader but rather he is a "little horn". He is someone that you would not look to as a leader of the world and he has no major leadership role. Did someone who fits this description come to world prominence from the event on September 11th?
I would say yes! Osama Bin Laden came to world prominence through this event and he would definitely fit the role of a "little horn". He also has the ability to unite the Moslem world in an Islamic Jihad against the Christian nations as Mohamed did. Is Osama the antichrist? That we will have to wait and see, but it is interesting that the bible prophecies that the antichrist will attempt to cause all those who refuse to worship him to be beheaded.
Of course we know that God will not allow His bride to be beheaded so we know the antichrist will fail in His attempt to kill the bride of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, but the Moslems do use beheading as a way to kill those who violate their antichrist religion.
Could Osama or someone like him arise from this event to be the "little horn" to lead an Islamic jihad against the western civilized nations?
Time will tell, but since the first two aspects of this prophetic word have come to pass as God declared, I believe the third aspect will as well and that this event will bring to power the "little horn" spoken of in the word of God in the book of Daniel and that He will be the prophesied antichrist who causes all to receive a mark that they might not buy or sell without it.
Since this event the Lord has revealed many other things about the number 7-11 as well. This number is the base number of the pyramid which is 11 wide and 7 high. This number is in the music scale with 7 notes and 11 scales. Sound travels on the fraction of 7 over 11. In the year 711 Mohamed attacked the Christian nations of Europe.
The September 11th event also has the number 711 stamped all over it and if you research this you will find the connections to be numerous.
God knows the beginning from the end and his word always comes to pass.
Amen and Amen!
Dream of a Great Tidal Wave
Martin Banner
On the evening of May 22nd, 2004 I was given the following dream. In the dream I was at a strange and unknown home. The house had a river flowing behind it with hills around it. It was a large home and at the home there was a meeting of the brethren taking place.
I found myself in the meeting and apparently this was a house church that was meeting in this home. During the meeting it appeared that this group of believers was looking to me for spiritual direction and that I was ministering to them during the meeting. At this time someone in the meeting looked at me and said "what is coming next?" To which I replied, there is coming a tidal wave. Once those words left my mouth we all heard a tremendous roaring sound, it was like the approaching of many train engines, the ground began to shake and a tremendous roar could be heard. We hurriedly rushed to the window and as we peered out the window towards the river we could see a wave of water approaching up the river.
The scene then immediately changed, as it does sometimes in dreams to a future point where we found ourselves on the top of one of the nearby hills. We all had tents and were camping out on the hills until the water receded. I then woke up from the dream and that morning shared the dream with my wife Cherie and my daughter Elizabeth Joy.
Later that day I was impressed to contact a brother I know named Brother George. I was impressed to call him and relate this dream to him. I know Brother George through an internet web site and have never met him nor have I been to his home. After I shared the dream with Brother George he said "Marty, that sounds exactly like our house in the dream. We have a river behind our home and hills around it just like in the dream. We also have a house meeting in our home."
After being told this I was quite impressed that the Lord had led me to call Brother George and relate the dream to him and felt that there was some connection with his home and the dream of the Tidal Wave. I later called a brother Martin who was an elder in a church with Brother George in Ohio and shared the dream with him. He also was impressed that the house in the dream seemed to be Brother George's.
InterpretationThe interpretation of the dream seems to be that the next great event on God's timetable dealing with the end time is an enormous tidal wave coming. Brother George's home is on the east coast and seemed to be the house in the dream. It appears that there is a massive tidal wave coming to the east coast of the United States of America and will be centered near Brother George's home.
The dream was at least partially fulfilled on Dec. 26th 2004 when an enormous tsunami slammed into Indonesia and several other countries killing an estimated 300,000+ people. It has been said of the tsunami that it is one of the worst recorded disasters in history.
The fulfillment of the dream came through a number of unusual events. In October my family and I were experiencing a number of attacks of the enemy coming through close relationships and in particular our neighbors. We also were experiencing a large amount of attacks directly against our business, which had been going on for several months. A number of these attacks were coming from professing Christians. These attacks could be summed up as demonic in nature and seemed to be persecution aimed at our beliefs and lifestyle. We believe that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ should be different from the world, His people should be separate from the world, a people set aside for Him, and we also believe that nominal Christianity is a mirror of the world, it watches the worlds TV, goes to the worlds movies, listens to the worlds music and dresses and acts like the world. The nominal Church even has a divorce rate that is higher than the worlds.
The persecution became so intense that we decided to move. We took a trip up to Canada to look at some homes with a Christian couple, once we were there they abandoned us and left and returned home. At this time I called Brother George since we were near his home and I thought we could go and stay and visit with him while we sought the Lord for direction. Once we came to his house I realized this was the house in the dream, Brother George showed me the river behind his house and I could see the hills all around his home. Later we sat in on one of the house meetings they have at the home, a few days later the tsunami hit in Asia. The Lord showed me the tsunami at Brother George's house because he knew we would be visiting brother George when the tidal wave hit. We are all amazed at the goodness of the Lord. Not only did He show us what was coming, but He also let us know that we were in His will and that He knew we would be at this particular home when the tidal wave struck.
Anyone who wishes can contact us and I will provide contact information for both Brother George and Brother Martin who will confirm that this occurred exactly as I am writing.
Even as Joseph found himself in some very intense circumstances that led him to Egypt and eventually to the fulfillment of the dream he was given, so we had gone through similar circumstances which led to the fulfillment of this dream. God is in control, He knows all things. He knows our past, our present and our future. He is a sovereign God and His purposes shall not be defeated and of the dominion of His kingdom there shall be no end. It is an everlasting kingdom. Hallelujah! He is in control of every aspect of our lives right down to the minute detail. Once again He has proved Himself strong on the behalf of His people.
We pray for the victims of this tragedy and their immediate family and friends. We pray that God would use this event to draw people to himself. We pray for the Indonesian government that has persecuted the brethren in Indonesia to repent and stop their attacks against God's people. We pray that all people who read this dream would realize the hour in which we are living and would put the Lord and His work first priority in their lives.
Amen and Amen. To God be the Glory.
The Lord has now shown me many of the major events in the last few years including 9-11, the Tsunami, The changing of the Pledge of Allegiance, The Raising of the Titanic, World War Three and the coming economic collapse as well as the coming disarming of America and the aftermath. So far everything we have put out on the newsletter as coming from the Lord has come to pass. I believe at this time the Lord wants me to focus my time and commitment upon the prophetic call on my life. Please pray for direction for me and my family as we seek the Lord about our business, and selling our business in order to serve the Lord in what He wants.
May the Lord Bless you with His presence in these Perilous Times
In everything you say and do let the Love of God shine through and beloved keep your eyes on the eastern skies.

Prophecy To America
Martin Banner
Hear the Word of the Lord, oh America! Have I not called to thee as one calls to His bride to come to the bridal chamber and you would not! Have I not called to thee as a lover calls to His beloved and you would not hearken! Have you not said "we have other lovers to pursue, the god's of money, success and prosperity". So, I the Lord will strike your false god's and they shall come to naught and you shall find yourself naked, saith the Lord your God. You shall look to be clothed and shall not be, because you looked not to Me, but to your own god's of prosperity and wealth. I shall bring down your idols of gold and silver and shall bring them into the dust!
Why shall I do these things?Because you have broken the covenant, and done despite to the Spirit of Grace and have turned to your other lovers and have forsaken Me, the Lord your God. So have I sent a sign to you, oh America! A sign of judgment and not blessing, for your false prophets run to and fro proclaiming peace and prosperity, when I have determined war and judgment.
You have murdered your own children, oh America!The precious fruit of the womb have you sacrificed to your false god's of prosperity and wealth. The spirit of murder is on your land and the blood of millions of innocent children is on your hands. You call it choice, but I call it MURDER! You call it abortion, but I call it an ABOMINATION! My anger has come up in my face because of your wickedness and your lewdness, oh America! I will wink at your sin no more! For I have sent a sign to thee! A sign of things to come! For even as the World Trade Center was a symbol of your false god of prosperity, so I have sent a sign of judgment to you by allowing your false idol to be destroyed. This was a sign of judgment to you, oh America. For even as the sinking of the Titanic was a sign of judgment to England, after her visitation during the Welsh Revival. So was what occurred on September 11th to the World Trade Center, a sign of judgment to you, oh America.
I have this against thee, oh America! You have spilled the blood of the unborn and now you have the audacity to even kill your children as they are being born, which you call "full term abortion". I hate these acts of rebellion and I will judge you for it America. You murder your innocent children and then you ask me to bless America? I am the Lord your God, and I will not be mocked! I will not bless these acts of murder and rebellion, but rather I will enter into judgment with you, oh America! I warn you to turn from your wickedness, for you are weighed in the balance and are found wanting. Surely my destruction is on the way! You shall pay for the innocent blood which you shed daily upon your land, for that blood cries to me day and night for judgment!
So hear what I will do to you! You who protect the sodomite and murder the child! I will make an end of you! Even as I sent the Titanic to the ocean floor as a sign of judgment to that generation because they failed to discern the hour of their visitation. So have I sent the World Trade Center into the dust as a sign of judgment to this generation. Even as the Titanic was a sign of judgment to England that World War I would follow. So is the destruction of your economic center a sign of judgment that your economy shall fail, and World War shall follow, and even as it was with the Titanic, that more perished than were saved, so shall it be with you America!
When I bring my fiery judgments upon your land, more of your children shall perish than shall be saved, and even as I divinely ordained for my servant John Harper to be on board the Titanic at the time of her sinking, and even as his appointment to preach his scheduled revival meetings had to be cancelled. So shall it be with your ministers, oh America! They will have to cancel their itineraries to preach to the dying, and even as it was on the Titanic that I brought in a harvest through judgment and some were saved as though by fire. So shall it be with thee, America! Your ministers will cancel their meetings to minister to the dying and through judgment and hardship will come in a harvest! So shall it be with thee, America!
For even as I have called and you have not hearkened, now through judgment and hardship I will call again, and then you will hear my call. Then shall you look to return to the Lord your God! When your economy fails, and you find yourself at war, and millions have perished.
Men said that even I could not sink the Titanic, yet I allowed it to sink! Your financial prognosticators have said that even I could not sink your prosperous economy, yet I will cause your prosperity to come to nothing, says the Lord.
Why, you ask, would a God who loves us do such a thing?Because you, oh America, have turned from me, you have forsaken the Lord your God, and have pursued other god's which can not satisfy you. That is why I have placed this deep hunger within you! You long for something to fulfill the emptiness of your soul, and yet you find no satisfaction! You will not be satisfied until you return to the fountain of your blessing, which is in Me, the Lord who formed you!
I have this against you, oh America! You consult witches and horoscopes instead of Me! Your land is polluted and has become barren from all of the harlotries and occult practices, which I despise!
REPENT! Repent America and return to the Ark of thy safety! For safety can only come from Me, the Lord who has set thy boundaries, and even as I raised up My servant Rees Howell to intercede for England during her time of affliction and war. So shall I call to my intercessors to cry out for you America, that I might spare thee from my fury and that I might deliver you from your evil ways.
Hear Me, oh My people! Call out to Me, the Righteous Judge of the earth and I will hear your cry! Be not discouraged for what your eyes see and what your ears hear. Cry to Me in your day of affliction and I will hear you and deliver you! Cry out for the sin that is all around you. Cry to the Lord of the Harvest, that I might have a Holy Remnant in this land. Oh My people, be not burdened with this world and its false hope, but cry out to Me and be delivered from this false sense of security.
Return to Me! Return with a right heart and seek Me and I will hear your cry! He who has made the eye, can I not see? He who has made the ear, do I not hear?
Cry out and spare not and warn My people to repent and return to me with a clean heart, and I will receive them.
I will have a harvest in the earth, says the Lord, but I will first shake heaven and earth to gather it in.
Dream of Pledge of Allegiance
Martin Banner
In my dream I found myself standing in front of a high school with a large group of children assembled in front of the school reciting the pledge of allegiance. When they came to the part with "one nation under God" they said "one nation along side another nation" instead.
I immediately took note of this change in the words of the pledge and noticed that "one nation under God" had been removed and replaced with "one nation alongside another nation".
After this the children began to recite a World Anthem.
The next thing that occurred was I saw tanks and airplanes and military equipment with both U.S. and Russian insignia's on them. The military equipment seemed to be involved with a joint military exercise and working together.
Then I was lifted up into the heavens where I could see both the U.S. and Russian countries as they were changing. The U.S. was becoming more and more like Russia and socialistic communism and Russia was becoming more and more like the United States and democracy.
This continued until the U.S. lost most of its freedom and liberty and Russia acquired more and more freedom until the two nations seemed almost identical and then I awoke from the dream.
InterpretationIt appears the dream is saying that there will be an attempt to remove "one nation under God" from the pledge of allegiance and that this event will signify the beginning of the loss of freedom and liberty in the United States while Russia will continue to receive more and more freedom until the two nations will be almost identical in their political structure.
FulfillmentAbout three weeks after I received the dream about the changing of the pledge of allegiance the California supreme court passed a law saying that "One nation under God" was unconstitutional and that the pledge could no longer be recited in California. After this ruling 9 states in the west banned the pledge of allegiance. This was a partial fulfillment to the dream.
"One nation under God" was said to be unconstitutional and the pledge was banned in many states. This was an attempt to begin to remove the clause "One nation under God" from the pledge of allegiance just like in the dream.
This attempt I believe is the sign that the United States of America will now begin to loose it's freedom and liberty and Russia will begin to receive more and more freedom and look more and more like a democracy. The US is a Republic, but will loose most if its freedom and will end up looking much like Russia's socialistic communism, while Russia will appear to have more and more freedom looking like a democracy until the two nations will be almost identical in political structure. Then one day they will sing a World Anthem as the nations of the earth unite into an Antichrist global government.
The attempt to remove "One nation under God" from the pledge of allegiance I believe is the sign according to the dream that these things have begun to take place.
The tribulation is close at hand!
It is time to go fishing for the souls of men!

30. November 1989USA- Wall Street Journal "If Berlin Is Unified, Could Europe Stand So Much Schnauze?""For Berliners, everything must always be faster, higher, prettier," says Joerg Schlegel, the deputy director of West Berlin's Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Like a good Berliner, he illustrates with a joke: A Berliner and a Bavarian are arguing about who has it best. The Bavarian effusively describes the majestic Alps and asks the Berliner if there is anything like them in Berlin. "No," says the Berliner, "we don't have any mountains. But if we did, they would certainly be higher than yours."

The province is asking parents to prepare for the possibility that schools will be closed next week as B.C. teachers get set to vote on beginning a full-scale strike.
The last nine days of the school year could be eliminated if teachers vote Monday and Tuesday to escalate their job action and walk out on June 16.
In an information bulletin Sunday, the ministry of education told parents that "every effort is being made to ensure the strike does not disadvantage students, nor delay their transition to the next grade or on to post-secondary," but added that parents of young children may soon need to make child care arrangements.
The government says students in kindergarten through Grade 9 will still receive final report cards, although they may be abbreviated. Meanwhile, secondary schools will be open for final exams and "every effort" will be made to ensure provincial exams are marked and students receive their final grades.
The ministry told school superintendents in a letter Friday that officials are working with the B.C. Public School Employers' Association to figure out how to make sure final exams go ahead.
"We appreciate the current labour dispute may disrupt or delay the marking of the written portions of these exams," the letter states. "In recognition of the heightened burden on administrators as a result of job action, additional mitigation strategies are being explored to address cases where it is not feasible to have the written portion of these exams marked."
Vancouver school board chairwoman Patti Bacchus said that superintendents are scrambling to figure out how to ensure adequate supervision of exams and determine who is going to mark the tests.
"The logistics of how you would supervise that exam are not defined. We have many students who need special support to write exams — some need to write in a quieter room or some need special education assistant support for scribing or some other need," she said. "The marking is a whole other kettle of fish. For example, with a course like Socials 11, you need people with fairly current knowledge of that course. You can't have someone who taught it 10 years ago or some retired administrator."
Bacchus said cancelling exams wouldn't be fair to some students who hope to improve their final marks by doing well on provincials.
Final exams begin on June 16 and continue through June 24. All B.C. students must write five provincial exams in order to graduate, but most students going on to post-secondary schools have already been pre-admitted based on their grades to date.
"There is the potential of students facing a picket line, which is a very difficult position to put students in," Bacchus said. "Many of those students would have parents who are union members or teachers or who are philosophically opposed. I wouldn't want my kids crossing a picket line."
The BCPSEA applied Friday afternoon to the Labour Relations Board to vary the terms of the teachers' essential services order to include final exam supervision and marking and the entering of final grades. A ruling is expected soon.
"I would be surprised if the LRB would declare exams and report cards as an essential service, but it's hard to predict how these things will go," Bacchus said. "It doesn't strike me as something that is a matter of urgency compared to some of the other issues that are at stake."
She said she would be more concerned about students' safety or those who rely on meal programs in schools than about students who don't get a report card.
Bacchus is also concerned about the damage being done to "B.C.'s brand" for attracting international students, particularly at a time when school districts are increasingly reliant on their fees.
"We have international students coming for summer programs. Many of them will already have purchased their tickets and paid for their programs," Bacchus said. "They need to know if those programs are going to go on."
The B.C. government issued a news release Friday morning saying that in 2012-2013, 112,800 international students spent $2.3 billion in B.C. on tuition, accommodation and other living expenses, arts and culture, and recreation, which supported almost 25,500 jobs.

In 2012, the JCI's Editor in Chief Howard Rockman proposed a new series focusing on the careers of today's most accomplished physician-scientists. Since then, Editor at Large Ushma Neill has interviewed scientists as part of the Conversations with Giants in Medicine series, including Laurie Glimcher, Huda Zoghbi, and Oliver Smithies. The interviews have revealed the diverse career paths, hidden talents, and sometimes quirky personalities of this inspirational group of researchers. To reflect on her experiences, she collected her favorite moments from the series in this highlight reel.
JCI Editor at Large Ushma S. Neill shares some of the best moments from the series Conversations with Giants in Medicine, 2012–2017.
During Stuart Orkin's training as a physician-scientist, he decided to focus on pediatric blood disorders as an area where disease genetics could connect directly to scientific investigations. His work in this field ultimately identified the genetic mutations responsible for thalassemia and chronic granulomatous disease. Recently, his focus has shifted toward singling out hematopoietic targets that can be exploited to treat hematological disorders, including leukemia and sickle cell disease. In this issue of the JCI, Editor at Large Ushma Neill interviews Dr. Orkin to discuss his path toward medicine and scientific research as well as the stories behind these highlights of his research career.
Eric Olson's pivotal research in the field of molecular biology has uncovered the mechanisms that control cardiac and skeletal muscle development. His current work focuses on finding new treatments for muscular dystrophies, potential regenerative approaches for cardiac and skeletal muscle, and the role of epigenetic mechanisms as regulators of muscle development. Dr. Olson currently holds the Annie and Willie Nelson Professorship in Stem Cell Research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and is himself a talented musician. This month, in a conversation with JCI Editor at Large Ushma Neill, he discusses how creativity and a love of discovery have driven his career in science and what it was like to meet Willie Nelson.
Though Bruce Alberts is well known for his work on the biochemistry of DNA replication and as the editor-in-chief of Science, he is also recognizable as the author of the seminal biology textbook Molecular Biology of the Cell. Alberts served as the president of the National Academy of Sciences for over a decade and is currently a professor at University of California, San Francisco. This year, his dedication to advancing science policy and education was recognized with the Lasker-Koshland Special Achievement Award. JCI's editor-at-large Ushma Neill sat down with Alberts to talk about how his background in science shaped his later work as an educator and leader in science policy. They also discuss the challenges of improving science education through writing, editing, and policy making.

Today's Saturday Sky isn't just the sky, it's the squeal inducing sight I saw this morning when I climbed out of bed:
To understand why I squealed, I have to back up a bit, to Tuesday.
A fast moving, strong snowstorm went through on Tuesday. The storm started with ice pellets falling from the sky for several hours and this morphed into 50+mph winds and several inches of heavy, wet snow. During the storm, my power went out and I looked out my window to see a power pole snapped in two:
Power outages are common where I live so I had prepared by filling my washing machine with water and turning up the heat in the house.
When I saw the power pole was snapped, I knew I was in trouble. Once the storm cleared and ushered in warm, sunny weather, I discovered that at least five power poles right about my house were snapped and over 150 poles in my area had suffered the same fate.
This was not going to be the usual 4-6 hour power outage. I expected it to be about as long as the longest power outage I had ever experienced here: 26 hours.
I was wrong. So very wrong.
My power went out Tuesday afternoon. It did not come back on until late Saturday afternoon. For those of you keeping track at home, my power was off for 98 hours.
98 hours with no electricity, no heat and no running water.
The lack of heat was only a problem the first day. I spent Night One shivering underneath five blankets while wearing a sweatsuit, wool socks and fuzzy feet.
The lack of running water was a pain, but wasn't that big of a deal. I keep ten gallons of drinking water in the house at all times and while I did make a Wal*Mart run on Day Two for more water and batteries, the critters and I probably could have survived on those ten gallons. I used the water in the washing machine to flush the toilet, so I just missed showering and washing my hair.
The lack of electricity bothered me a lot for the first day or so. I'm a news junkie and am always checking the cable news channels and websites to see what's going on in the world. When I knit, I'm always watching TV, surfing the Internet, emailing and IM'ing at the same time. After a day without these distractings, I settled into a relaxing new routine.
I took time during the day to sit on my deck and watch the birds play in the trees. When the sun had set in the evening I didn't immediately pull the curtains and turn on the lights. I kept the curtains open until the last drop of daylight had been squeezed from the sky.
Then I turned on my lanterns and began to knit.
I started with the Socks of Spring, but they didn't hold my interest for long:
I was in a heel turning mood one night and turned four heels:
Finally, I cast on for the socks I've been thinking about for about a month:
I'm amazed at how much I can knit when I focus on just the knitting. It was a nice change to knit only to the soft snoring of dogs and when I felt the need to hear noise, I caught up on the many podcasts that have been languishing on my iPod.
I'm happy to be back in the 21st century, but I'm grateful for the time I had to slow down and appreciate everything around me.

Humphrey Fellows to Gain Entrepreneurial Edge
New International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Academy
By Marianne Scoczek
UC DAVIS will host more than 40 Humphrey Fellows from around the world at the inaugural International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Academy in March, presented by the Child Family Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
The academy represents UC Davis' expanded involvement in the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. Each year the program brings about 200 mid-career professionals from five continents to 18 host universities across the U.S. for a year of nondegree graduate study, leadership development and professional collaboration.
Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the program has hosted almost 4,300 fellows representing nearly 160 countries since its founding in 1978.
UC Davis first participated in 1986, and welcomes Fellows with expertise in natural resources, environmental policy, climate change, agricultural and rural development, and environmental science. The academy is one of just five Enhancement Workshops specially developed for the Humphrey Program.
Academy highlights include presentations by Professor Andrew Hargadon, the institute's founder and director, as well as venture capitalists and veteran entrepreneurs. The Fellows will visit start-ups and tour the UC Davis Robert Mondavi Institute, the world's most environmentally sophisticated facility for making wine, brewing beer and processing foods.
"Academy participants will gain the necessary tools and insights to move forward with a venture, whether it is an idea for improving social well-being or development of a technical or novel solution to a problem," says Gwynn Benner, assistant director of the UC Davis Humphrey Fellowship Program. "The academy will help guide them in making a big difference once they return home."

Washington State has confirmed the NCAA has approved a waiver for wide receiver Vince Mayle that will allow him to play one more year for the Cougars.
The senior wide receiver played in all 10 games this season and has caught 32 passes for 423 yards (third most on the team) and five touchdowns (second most on the team) this season. There was optimism in the Washington State program that a waiver application would be approved by the NCAA, but the NCAA is not always exactly known to make the right decisions when presented with the opportunity. Fortunately for Mayle, the NCAA agreed another year was appropriate.
Mayle needed to apply for a waiver to play one more year in Pullman because he had played competitively at Shasta Community College (basketball) and Sierra College (football) prior to arriving at Washington State. Because he started playing basketball in 2009, Mayle's eligibility clock got started early according to NCAA rules.
Mayle took to Twitter to break the news himself Friday and the school released a statement later in the day to confirm the news from the NCAA.

Emulex has announced figures showing a fall in third quarter earnings and a loss, emphasising its weak position facing the Broadcom bid.
In its third fiscal 2009 quarter (Q3 fy09) Emulex revenues were $78.6m, 39 per cent less than the equivalent a year ago of $127.8m, and 28 per cent down sequentially. It announced a net loss of $5.96m (-$0.07/share) compared to Q3 fy08's net profit of $15.5m ($0.19/share).
Emulex' reliance on OEMs increased with 86 per cent of revenues coming from that source, compared to 78 per cent a year ago. It expects to also make a loss in the next quarter, giving guidance of $73m to $80m revenues and a net loss of $0.01 to -$0.05 a share.
Jim McCluney, Emulex president and CEO, said Emulex had battened down the hatches to ride out the recessionary storm: "I'm very pleased with our overall execution during the March quarter. In addition to meeting our revenue and earnings targets, our focus on controllable expenses and maintaining a strong balance sheet resulted in lower inventories, lower accounts receivables and an increase in our cash balances by over $17 million during the quarter."
However, the business environment for Emulex has pressures other than the recession. The rise in SAS as an alternative to Fibre Channel for high-speed disks is reducing the need for Fibre Channel HBAs, which impacts that part of Emulex' business. Also Emulex has said that an OEM for its InSpeed array switching technology - thought to be HP, which has just refreshed mid-range EVA products - is bringing a supply contract to an end.
Against that, Emulex has announced its HBAs support the new EVA 6400 and 8400 arrays. Also, its HBAs and FCoE CNAs are fully supported in Microsoft's System Center suite of products.
As ever in earnings releases, Emulex mentioned its product highlights, including this point: "Our Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA), unlike the competition, is based on ... 10Gb/s Ethernet technology, supports multiple protocols including TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE, and leverages our ... Fibre Channel stack. Our new 10Gb/s Ethernet adapter solutions include 10Gb/s NICs and iSCSI adapters which expand our addressable markets beyond storage networking and into to the high volume local area network (LAN) market."
According to Stifel Nicalaus analyst Aaron Rakers, Emulex says it has 16 current design engagements with tier-1 OEMs for its Ethernet products: the CNAs, 10GbE NICs and iSCSI adapters. It has realised five design wins with first tier OEMs for its 10GbitE NICs, three for its 10GbE iSCSI CNAs, and four for its 10GbE FCoE CNAs. This must be very attractive to Broadcom.
McCluney said that Emulex recognised early on that success in supplying the converged data centre meant Emulex had to be willing to create a new business model, and seek the right technology partners to create long term value. A 10GbitE technology capability was crucial to this. Where has it come from?
Rakers reckons it comes from privately-held ServerEngines, a stealth-mode silicon chip developer, reckoning Emulex has a joint-development agreement for 10GbitE silicon and firmware with the firm.
ServerEngines provides 10GbitE converged network controllers and adapters for I/O virtualisation in data centres and controllers for remote server management. It describes itself thus: "ServerEngines is very much a restart of ServerWorks; a maker of Intel-based server chipsets that was started in the mid-1990's and was subsequently sold to Broadcom in 2001. In 2003, ServerWorks CEO Raju Vegesna, left Broadcom... In early 2004, Raju and the other two founders of ServerWorks, Sujith Arramreddy, CTO, and Sai Gadiraju, VP of Engineering, founded ServerEngines and funded the company themselves. The goal was to leverage industry trends of network storage fabric convergence, virtualisation, and server and client feature integration as semiconductor line widths continue to shrink."
Broadcom, of course, is now bidding to takeover Emulex. Executives at Emulex are saying nothing about that bid at present, refusing to take questions about it in an earnings announcement conference call.
A problem is that Emulex investors are looking at a Broadcom boost to share values which Emulex would be hard pressed to achieve on its own. It is expected that Broadcom might raise its bid to encourage Emulex shareholders to accept its offer and exert unstoppable pressure on the management and 8-man board.
Broadcom is also going to court to have Emulex' poison pill defence against a takeover nullified. If that succeeds it is hard to see how the board and management could persuade shareholders to reject a well-priced bid. After all, they as much as everyone else understand that in a world of data centre convergence, converged suppliers have a stronger chance of success than a niche player, which is what Emulex currently is. ®

Residents in long-term care facilities are often physically and emotionally vulnerable, facing daily challenges in pursuing a meaningful quality of life. Whenever problems arise, residents or families can call upon an ombudsman for help. Ombudsmen receive complaints about long-term care services and then voice the residents' concerns to nursing homes, residential care facilities, and other providers of long-term care.
Experience has shown that when residents and families understand the long-term care system, they are able to effectively act on their own behalf when problems occur. By educating residents, families, and facility staff, the ombudsman program fosters an understanding and knowledge of the long-term care system. To find out more, you can view the Resident Bill of Rights in English or Spanish (Declarición De Derechos Del Residente).
More information about the differences between abuse, neglect and exploitation, and who to call should you observe any of them, can be found in this two page " Spot Abuse" brochure (small pdf).
The ombudsman program is governed by the federal Older Americans Act and by the South Carolina Omnibus Adult Protection Act. The Lt. Governor's Office on Aging administers the statewide program through ten regional offices located throughout the state. These programs are located within Area Agencies on Aging and funded with federal, state, and local dollars. There is no charge for services provided by the ombudsman.
Ombudsman Complaints
Ombudsmen work closely with residents, families and facility staff to offer guidance and resolve substantiated complaints. In federal fiscal year 2007-2008, the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program received 6,858 complaints involving residents in long-term care facilities.
The ombudsman program is also responsible for investigating complaints in psychiatric hospitals and facilities operated or contracted for operation by the SC Department of Mental Health and the SC Department of Disabilities and Special Needs. Of the 6,858 complaints, 3,538 were from nursing homes, 3,276 were from residential care facilities, and 44 were from other facilities.
Often a single complaint affects more than one resident. For example, complaints regarding lack of staff to assist with meals could affect a single resident or the entire facility depending on the circumstances. Also, a case may have more than one complaint. For instance, a resident may voice a complaint about the length of time it takes staff to answer call lights and the poor attitude of staff when complaints are lodged. More than 70 percent of the cases investigated by the LTCOP involved multiple complaints in a case file.
Volunteer Ombudsman Program
In 2007, the name of the Volunteer Ombudsman Program changed to the Friendly Visitor Program to better reflect the program's purpose. That year also saw an upswing in number of volunteers recruited, trained, and working; in visits made to facilities; and in facilities requesting participation in the program. The program ended the year with 35 Friendly Visitors volunteers working in the program. Volunteers made 433 visits an increase of 22 percent in number of visits, up from 354 visits in the previous fiscal year. They spent a total of 1,233.03 hours visiting 6,116 residents during the year. This was an increase of 26% in hours, up from 975.23, and an increase of 41percent, up from 4,349.
The program, which was previously limited to three regions, expanded to cover seven of the ten regions in South Carolina. Additional expansion to cover the remainder of the state is in the planning stage. For more information or how you can volunteer, email us at email@example.com

One Week in Thailand?Anne Merritt
Most people plan their trips to Thailand as part of a larger Southeast Asian travel circuit, visiting many countries in a limited period of time. Thailand's diversity and beauty gives visitors plenty of travel options. You could spend years exploring its jungles, beaches, and urban temples. For the backpacker who wants to see it all, planning an itinerary might be stressful. Here, khaosanroad.com offers sample one-week routes in Thailand, to fit different traveller's needs. Enjoy.
Jungle Immersion for the Nature Fan
From Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal, head to Khao Yai National Park for a few scenic days of jungle treks. Thailand's oldest natural park boasts 2172 square kilometres of rainforest, evergreen forest, and countless wildlife. A few guesthouse spots make you safe from the park's natural population, which includes elephants, deer, black bears, tigers, gibbons and macaques, and leopards.
Next on the list is historic Kanchanaburi. This town is an easy homebase for your daytrip to the Erawan Waterfall. This seven-tiered waterfall, located in nearby Erawan National Park, is considered one of the most beautiful in Thailand. Visitors can trek up the side of the falls, or like local people, hop right in to swim and climb at the same time.
An overnight bus to Chiang Mai may leave you worn out, so take some time to rejuvenate before bussing to Doi Inthanon National Park. The challenging treks around Thailand's highest peak are rewarded with fresh mountain air and breathtaking scenery. The mountain boasts hundreds of bird species, and is one of the last remaining homes of the Asiatic black bear.
A History Tour for Temple-lovers
Start in Bangkok, which offers countless temples and wats to feed your curiosity. Take your time touring Wat Phra-Kaew and the Grand Palace, more commonly known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This property contains hundreds of buildings and represents architecture and art from 18th and 19th century royalty. Have your camera ready for gilded chedis, mosaics, and murals. From here, stop at Wat Pho, Bangkok's oldest wat, to see the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand.
A two-hour train ride to Ayutthaya drops you in the
middle of Thailand's compact and walkable former capital. During the 14th-18th centuries, this city was the hub of the Siam empire, and the "Ayutthaya-style" architecture, made popular by the royals of the time, is still a prominent influence on Thai design. Rent a bike and circle the river for some temple-spotting, then head to the centre of the town to Ayutthaya Historical Park, where a small entrance fee lets you explore the expansive grounds of temples, gardens, and statues.
Go north to Sukhothai, Thailand's first capital, for a glimpse of royal architecture in the 13th and 14th centuries. Sukhothai Historical Park boasts Khmer-style and early Thai architecture, with popular lotus-bud and bell-shaped stupas. This park offers 70 sites within the old city walls.
Scenic R&R for Beachgoers
Your trip starts in Phuket, the island nicknamed "pearl of the south" for its sparkling beaches and exotic beauty. Once you fly onto the island, you can settle in Phuket Town for some snorkeling and diving in popular nearby beaches, or spend a couple of days beach-hopping to the island's more remote beaches in northwestern Mai Khao, Nai Yang, and Nai Thon.
From Phuket Town, hop a ferry to Ko Phi Phi Don, an island of long white beaches and pretty coral reefs. Ao Ton Sai is the tourist hub, while smaller beaches with modest bungalows dot the coastline southeast of the city. while pricier resorts occupy the beaches on the eastern coast.
Catch another boat to Ko Lanta for denser wildlife as pretty beaches neighbour mangroves and crops of wide umbrella trees. The island's booming tourist economy means that diving, snorkelling, and boat tours are readily available to visitors. Take a day tour of Koh Lanta National Marine Park for easy island-hopping to the coral-filled beaches of Koh Ha and Koh Bida, or cliffy Koh Rok Nok. The latter beach allows camping.
From here, outdoor athletes can move on to Krabi to make use of its famous limestone cliffs and caves for rock-climbing. Slower-paced travelers can explore the pretty mainland beach of Ao Nang. Visitors can follow the main road to the waterfront, which is lined with bungalows and tourist-friendly restaurants and shops. The landscape is pretty and fairly unspoilt, despite the beach's popularity. Those in search of peace and quiet can head a few hundred metres north along the coast to Hat Noppharat Thara, a 2-kilometre strip of shallow emerald waters and clean sand.
A Weeklong Crawl for the Life of the Party
Starting in Bangkok, you'll have no shortage of nightlife options. Sukhumvit (around soi 20-26) and the head of Silom street are packed with bars. Go-go bars line the streets of Patpong. Silom soi 4 is considered the main artery of gay nightlife. Those in search of live music should try the concert venues around Siam Square. Those hoping to dance should go to the trendy strip of bars known as RCA.
Next to the city nightlife, popular beach parties are another popular way to let your hair down. Head south to the well-known islands of the Gulf of Thailand, starting with the popular Ko Samui. The island boasts beautiful mountainous landscapes, long beaches, and enough tourist amenities for many nights' entertainment. Hat Chaweng, on the east coast, is the longest beach with the biggest concentration of accomodations. As a result, it offers the best nightlife on the island, with a main strip running parallel to the beach that stays lively well into the night. Hat Lamai, though smaller than Chaweng, has the same lively atmosphere and dance-til-dawn nightlife.
Hop a ferry to the infamous Koh Phagnan and you may be in time for one of the famous full-moon parties on popular Hat Rin. If the timing isn't right, you may stumble across a half-moon, quarter-moon, or new moon party. Visitors to this island will cook up easy excuses for all-night festivities, where beachside bars spill onto the sand and partygoers dance, mingle, spin fire, drink potent cocktails from plastic beach buckets, and lose time until the sun rises.

Gigabyte took us on a full two-hour walkthrough long of their exclusive Computex showcase on the 36th floor of the iconic Taipei 101 tower. Here are some of the highlights…
First on the agenda were the new Gigabyte Intel 8-series motherboards.
Other than the usual entry/business and mainstream offerings, the company brought out their customary refreshes of their G1.Killer gaming motherboards – the Sniper 5 and its smaller mATX counterpart Sniper m5, both based on the Z87 Lynx Point chipset.
Both Ultra Durable 5+ infused motherboards come with souped-up audio subsystems featuring a shielded/isolated Creative's Sound Core3D codec, swappable opamps to change the audio signature as well as audiophile-grade Nichicon capacitors. An onboard Killer E2200 Gigabit LAN chipset also gives advanced QoS functionality to help improve online gaming latencies. The regular ATX-sized Sniper 5 comes with 4-way SLI/CFX support (via a PLX 8747 switch) and features a hybrid water/air cooled heatsink over its CPU VRM modules.
Next up is a blast from the past for the more senior enthusiasts – the Z87X-OC / OC Force. Back during the X58 / Nehalem days, Gigabyte had a limited-edition orange-themed motherboard that was built ground-up for competitive sub-zero overclocking (the X58-OC). Several generations later, they decided to bring it back just in time for the launch of Z87/Haswell.
The OC Force (considered the halo offering) commands a price premium over the relatively inexpensive Z87X-OC (just $199 on NewEgg) by having actively cooled heatsinks for the PCH and VRMs and 4-way SLI/CFX support (again via the PLX 8748 bridge chip). It also comes with extra onboard SATA ports, bluetooth/wifi module and one more Intel Gigabit LAN interface.
In addition to the new UEFI BIOS interface and Easytune that is also available on the other boards, the two boards comes with an "OC Brace" which is a metal bracket to secure the graphics cards during open-case benching and "OC Ignition" to keep the other components except the CPU powered-on (useful for water-cooling maintenance or "cold bug" scenarios).
Gigabyte also showed off upcoming Titan/GTX780 graphic cards based on their own custom "Windforce 3X" cooler, touted as capable of taming up to an impressive 450w of heat (unlikely, since Nvidia restricts AIB partners to safe overclocking limits above the official 225/250w TDP).
Next-up on the tour is Gigabyte's answer to the Apple Mac Mini/Intel NUC – the BRIX mini-pc.
Besides the current Ivy Bridge model and the obvious Haswell refresh, we also spotted new variants with AMD's Kabini and Richland mobile APUs, which should make for a decent "cheap and cheerful" HTPC/gaming build.
In the peripherals department, Gigabyte also showed off new headphones and their Aivia keyboard/mouse gaming accessories. One of their upcoming wireless mouse (show below) even has a LCD panel on the receiver to show the active status and configuration options.
Lastly, Gigabyte had a plethora of gaming laptops and Ultrabooks to show off. One of them (U24T) even has Thunderbolt connectivity in addition to its mobile Geforce Kepler GTX765MX graphics. The last picture in the gallery below is a "Microsoft Surface-ish" Core-i5 class tablet with a kickstand and a detachable keyboard that uses magnets for docking.

Cato Unbound: Mental Health and the Law
We have lately witnessed several high‐profile criminal events for which insanity may or may not be a tempting explanation. To name only the most prominent, consider the spree killings in Aurora, Colorado and Oak Creek, Wisconsin; Anders Breivik's rampage in Norway; and the shooting of former representative Gabrielle Giffords and a group of her constituents. Giffords' shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, was medicated against his will for nearly a year and recently entered a guilty plea. Anders Breivik has denied the suggestion that he was mentally ill, insisting that he is of sound mind and motivated only by ideology.
At Cato Unbound this month, we're taking a close look at mental health and the law. American University's Dr. Jeffrey A. Schaler is skeptical that "insanity" is a good explanation for criminal—or any—behavior. Indeed, Schaler denies that "mental illness" is a valid category of disease. For that reason he is also one of the world's foremost exponents of consensual psychiatry, a branch of the discipline first comprehensively defended by Dr. Thomas Szasz: if a patient wishes to be treated, he should be allowed to seek treatment; if not, his behavior remains his own responsibility.
Dr. Allen Frances, professor emeritus of psychiatry at Duke University, disagrees in part: while mental illness is unlike many other diseases, those who present a clear threat to others owing to mental illness should not be treated either as criminals or as harmless. They have a condition that needs to be treated in order for them to rejoin the rest of society.
Jacob Sullum, a journalist and author who has often written on mental health, therapy, and the law, points out that psychiatry can't have things both ways—either a criminal is responsible for his actions, in which case he should be punished; or the criminal is not responsible for his actions, in which case one might argue for involuntary treatment. Yet current laws, particularly regarding sexually violent predators, often try to do both to the same person.
Amanda Pustilnik, an associate professor of law at the University of Maryland, argues that the outrage about coercive psychiatry is misplaced: more mentally ill people inhabit our prison system than are to be found in our psychiatric hospitals. They get there not because they are more criminal, but because they are less cooperative with police, worse at defending themselves in court, and find it difficult to comply with the rules of prison life and parole. Many of these people would prefer to be in mental institutions, where they would receive the treatment they both need and want.

After nearly two years of dis- cussion, much international
speculation and protests by some
NATO members and neighboring
countries, the Russian Navy's purchase of Mistral-class amphibious
assault ships (LHDs) from France
has been made official with the
signing of a deal for two LHDs
worth more than $1.6 billion with
Paris shipbuilder DCNS.
The two Mistrals will be built in
France, with the possibility of
another two being built later in
Russia under separate contract. Both
DCNS units are scheduled for delivery to the Russian Navy by 2015.
Mistral is capable of transporting and deploying 16 helicopters,
four landing craft, 70 vehicles, 13

main battle tanks and 450 troops,
and is equipped with a 69-bed hospital and command ship capabilities. The French Navy maintains a
force of three Mistral-class ships.
The ships' characteristics, however, have concerned nations along
the Black Sea, especially Georgia,
who expressed their objection to
the deal. Russia maintains the
ships primarily will be used as
command and control and humanitarian relief vessels.
Although the transfer of technology, notably the SENIT- 9 combat
management system (CMS), had
been a longstanding sticking point
in the negotiations, a spokesman for
Russia's Rosoboronexport stated
that the CMS will indeed be part of
the technology transfer.
Some of the construction of
components for the ships will take
place in Russian shipyards and
equipment/system houses, providing the Russians with needed work
as well as expertise required for the
two additional, indigenously built
units. Admiralty Shipyard in St.
Petersburg will build the stern
modules for both LHDs, with construction beginning in December.
South Korea's STX Offshore and

with Russia's United Shipbuilding
Corp. on the same day the Mistral
deal was signed, June 17, to help

Flood resistant housing
How strengthened homes can hold up against floods
Year after year, floods destroy homes and crops, often hitting the poorest hardest. Every year, flooding in Bangladesh alone kills over 700 people, damages four million homes, and wipes out over a million hectares of crops.
Most of the deaths are not due to drowning, but to disease spread by the shallow stagnant water that covers everything. But there is a simple answer.
Practical Action has worked with communities to develop simple and affordable flood-resistant housing.
Flood-proof houses and cluster villages
Previously, houses in Bangladesh have been made from flimsy wood, sitting on traditional earth floors and topped with corrugated iron roofs. As a result, thousands of families are forced to watch their homes wash away when the rains arrive in earnest.
With training and materials supplied by Practical Action, landless people have been able to build their own flood-proof houses. Homes in four villages along the Jamuna River have been replaced by 'cluster villages' in which the houses are raised above the floods by building them on a 6ft plinth of sandy soil, brick and concrete, strong and high enough to last through repeated floods.
Walls can be made of brick up to window level, increasing their resilience. Jute panels make also make resilient walls that cost very little yet are quick and easy to replace. Treated bamboo poles on concrete bases are strengthened with metal tie rods to hold the wall firm and safe.
A plinth raises a house up further above the surrounding land. Made from soil, a little cement and some pieces of stone and brick – strong and high enough to last through repeated floods, unlike the traditional earthen floors that simply wash away.
Animals are considered in the plans too. Crucial to the family's welfare, poultry and livestock have a separate area in the improved houses, to improve hygiene – and the henhouse can be picked up and carried to safety, out of the way of the floodwater.
Bracings and fastenings bind the walls firmly to the house 'skeleton' through a network of holes and notches – locally called a 'clam system' – and the whole building can stay standing through the strongest of winds and rain.
Water-thirsty plants are set around the house, such as bamboo, banana, hogla and kolmi – they 'drink up' flood water and hold onto the soil, helping the whole homestead stay intact. Most plants can be found growing wild locally, but a little people power is needed to get them in place.
Safe drinking water from raised wells
More people are killed by drinking the stagnant, polluted flood water, which contaminates village wells. With people forced to drink the dirty flood water, it can be no surprise that 110,000 Bangladeshi people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases.
Now village wells are raised up on concrete plinths above the highest historic level of flooding in an area – simple, but no one had thought of doing it before Practical Action did. 100 wells have been elevated and 60 new ones have been built, saving an estimated 30,000 people from waterborne diseases.
The Mollah family, Bangladesh
For the Mollahs from Bangladesh, just one of the families we've already helped, it is a dream come true. "Before, when the rain came, we wouldn't sleep," Mr Mollah remembers. "We were terrified, but now at last we can live our lives in peace." And with their home intact, the family can bring in their crops, send their children to school, and keep their businesses running. Their whole livelihood can continue, grow and thrive.
Aklima Begum lives in Mukimpur, North-West Bangladesh
Aklima Begum lives in Mukimpur, a riverine village of Sirajgonj district of North-West Bangladesh, with her husband. The village is exposed to seasonal flooding – many homes of the village are submerged just by mild floods.
"Ten years ago, our neighbourhood was eroded by the river Jamuna. We lost not only our land, but also our cattle-shed, two cows, three goats, five chickens. We were able to only salvage some materials of our living hut."
"Being uprooted by the river, we became ootuli (a local term referred to indicate people displaced by river erosion), we were desperately seeking a place to live. One of our relative permitted us to build our new house upon his land. With the help of many, we built our new house."
"Our new house, however, was not safe from flood – we had to face monsoon-hassles as we faced at our previous home."
"More miseries were waiting for us. Seven years ago, my husband became paralyzed, and became completely unable to work. Sometimes, we could not arrange anything to eat. I tried to maintain my family by working in a handloom factory. It was not a regular job. Other time, I work in other's house as a domestic aide."
"Besides, I rear goats in a share arrangement, income from which greatly helped to support my family."
"I was lucky enough to be selected as a beneficiary of V2R project. Considering my needs, it was decided that the plinth of my house would be raised so that my family could stay at home during flooding. Structure of the house also made stronger. It was beyond my expectation – because I would never be able to do so in my lifetime."
"Now I feel secure – we don't have to move to other place during monsoon. I can sleep at my home during flooding without any worry. In addition to my work, I grow vegetables in my homestead and rear goats. "
"There are many poor families at our village – who have been facing flood-hazards. If their house were elevated, it would be a great help for them."
After years of living on a river embankment, Mansur Ali and his family now have a new flood-proof home, which they built in partnership with Practical Action. For the very first time, they can look forward to a flood-free future.
Shahana from Salabhora village, Sirajgonj, Bangladesh
For the past 6 months, Shahana, her husband Abdul and their two daughters have lived in a new, flood-proof house which they built in partnership with Practical Action. As one of the most vulnerable families in the area, they were one of 10 (in Salabhora village, Sirajgonj, Bangladesh), who were given the opportunity to leave their life on the riverside and build a better future.
"It feels so good to have our own home – to finally have an address. In the past we had no land or home of our own, I saw how people used to see us. Now we have more respect and more chances in life".
The entire area of land on which the new homes have been built has been raised by around 6ft. Each newly-constructed home, of 18ft by 12ft, then sits on a plinth, further lifting it out of the reach of any future flood-waters. A road will shortly be built to ensure that there is easy access to the mainland even during times of flood.
Families are determined to stay in Salabhora so are keen to help it stay flood-free. Shahana's family and others who have moved into their new homes have already begun to strengthen the embankment by planting fruit trees and napier grass, to reduce the chance of erosion. They have each been given a 99 year lease on their homes, cannot sell the building and can only pass it down to named dependents.
Before moving into the village, Shahana suffered greatly during the floods. Her family home was twice completely submerged under flood waters and they lost everything. She could not believe that their new home could be safe from the flood, until she saw it with her own eyes: since moving 6 months ago, a flood has hit the area but the waters did not reach their home. Despite the whole area being flooded, the village stands out as a safe, dry, island.
Shahana mentioned that the raised tube-wells (flood-proof pumps) had proven especially useful during times of flood, with women from other areas coming to the village to use the pumps. Even during the record high floods of 2007, the pumps remained above the water level, supplying a clean, reliable source of water for up to 50 families each day. The community have also been trained in how to add height to the pump (using an extension pipe and a wrench) should the waters ever come close to the top of the water pump platform.
As a result of working with Practical Action, life for the Akhter family has changed: "There was once a time when I used to starve with my family. We lived in a barren land. But for the last two years, after training in floating gardening, starving is no longer part of our lives. It seems a long time ago, in our history now. My husband has so much work with his crops that he is turning down labouring for others!"
Shahana's husband, Abdul, is making a living from cultivating vegetables and seedlings on his floating plot. Recently, for example, Abdul nurtured enough paddy seedlings on his floating farm to plant up 18 decimals of land (1 decimal is equivalent to 100 acres).
The current price for these seedlings, if he were to sell them now, would be 1,000 Taka (£9). He also sold 320 Taka (£2.80) worth of excess seedlings at the local market and is growing a variety of vegetables on the same floating farm, which are likely to have a value of around 700 taka (£6). (Average monthly income in Bangladesh is £23.)

Northern lights put on a show
Strongest solar storm in 6 years triggers aurora borealis
MIAMI – The solar storm that erupted from the Sun late Sunday caused quite a show late Tuesday night in the northern latitudes with the aurora borealis, or northern lights, dancing across the sky.
The video above was taken near the city of Tromso, in northern Norway on Tuesday where spectators braved temperatures as low as -20° F to watch. You can see the auroras swirling in the night sky.
The northern lights were triggered by solar plasma that was release by a coronal mass ejection on Sunday. The plasma travelled 4 million miles per hour to reach earth on Tuesday with 13 minutes of scientist's forecast. That ability to predict and track space weather will become even more crucial in the years ahead as the sun is currently in an active phase of its 11 year solar cycle, which is called Solar Cycle 24. Solar activity is expected to peak in 2013.
This was the strongest solar storm in 6 years.
Solar storms can be strong enough to disable satellites and other electronic equipment. Minor disruptions to spacecraft and power grids were reported this week. In 1989, a solar storm caused a massive blackout in Quebec.
Solar storms can also impact communications with polar traveling airplanes so several airlines rerouted flights Monday and Tuesday as a precaution.
The northern lights are created when the solar plasma, which are highly charged particles, interact with the Earth's upper atmosphere causing an energy release that is seen as lights. The charged solar particles are usually drawn to the Earth's poles by the planets magnetic field so the lights are most often seen far to the north and south.
In the northern latitudes, the northern lights are called aurora borealis named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas. In the southern hemisphere the lights are called aurora australis.
