Activity Report: Area & Country >> South Asia
Third Joint Project Meeting Team for Sentinel Asia STEP3 (JPTM2016) in Colombo 19 - 21 January, 2016 (Colombo, Sri Lanka)
Since 2009, ADRC has been conducting DRR Policy Peer Reviews to help develop the DRR capacity of ADRC-member countries through the promotion of information sharing and the strengthening of relationships among member countries. The target project selected for review this year, the sixth since the Peer Review process was launched, is a project titled "Integrating Cultural Heritage and Disaster Risk Reduction (Disaster Preparedness and Sensitization Training program on Dzong (Fortress) Safety at Dagana)". After the country report was submitted, a reviewer team comprised of the following two individuals visited Bhutan to conduct interviews: Ms. Yuko Nakagawa (Executive Director, NPO SEEDS Asia), and Mr. Junji Moriwaki (ADRC Researcher).
The team visited the Ministry of Home & Culture Affairs Department of Disaster Management (DDM) and so on, which is involved in DRR activities, to examine its DRR development efforts in Bhutan. The team also conducted inspections of Dagana District, where is a place of DRR drills were carried out, after which it prepared a draft report of its survey results highlighting its specific findings (e.g., "5 days training increased the awareness and knowledge on fire safety and DRR to monks and administrative officers in Dagana Dzong which was not there.", "Good coordination among relevant agencies such as DDM, fire division, and district administration made smooth implementation." and "Well understanding of the Governor and Disaster Focal person of the district office for the need of DRR and willingness for their continuous efforts.") and recommendations (e.g., "Fire is not the only hazard in Dagana. Training and raising awareness on multi hazard, especially on earthquake should be sought." and "Collaboration between school and community on DRR drills can be sought."). A workshop was also held to gather opinions and comments used in finalizing the report as well as to introduce the importance of community involvements and education in schools for enhancing the DRR, with local participants. This proved to be a very good opportunity for participants to share information and ideas with one another.
After its survey mission ends, the reviewer team compiles a survey report, which it sends to the countries examined as well as to other ADRC member countries, so as to enhance cross-fertilization.
ADRC would like to express its sincerest gratitude to all of those who have made such important contributions to this project.

23 - 29 December 2013, Maldives
Since 2009, ADRC has initiated a pilot project of DRR Policy Peer Review with the aim of developing DRR capacity of ADRC member countries by sharing information and strengthening the relationship among member countries.
This year, "Developing a National Framework on Managing Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) during emergencies" was selected as one of the target projects of the fifth year. After the submission of country report, reviewer team composed of Ph.D. Anawat Suppasri (Associate Professor, International Research Institute of Disaster Science, Tohoku University, Japan), Ms. Nwet Yin Aye (Deputy Director, The Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, Myanmar) and Mr. Junji Moriwaki (Researcher of ADRC) had visited Maldives to conduct interview surveys.
The team visited relevant organizations involving in DRR activities to examine how they have been making efforts of developing DRR in Maldives. Then, the team conducted inspection and interview at 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami affected area, and prepared a draft report of the survey result with all findings and recommendations (such as the development of DRR at community level, through capability and legislation building). Also the workshop was held in Male for getting opinion and comments to finalize the report, as well as introducing good practices for reducing tsunami risk and IDPs management activities in Japan and Myanmar. It provided a very good opportunity for exchanging opinions each other.
This project aims at developing the mutual learning process among ADRC member countries instead of one-way learning. After the survey missions, reviewer team will compile survey reports and send them to target countries and then to ADRC member countries to enhance cross-fertilization.
ADRC would like to express its sincerest gratitude to all of those who have made precious contribution to this project.

28-30 November 2011 (Islamabad, Pakistan)
Over thirty nine government officials and representatives from civil society organizations, who are engaged in long-term recovery, participated in the discussions on recovery planning organized by the Government of Pakistan, UNISDR, and UNDP with IRP contributing the key resource persons. The three-day event was held at Hotel Best Western, Islamabad, Pakistan from 28-30 November 2011.
The discussions facilitated the sharing of knowledge and experience on recovery planning with the intention to further enhance capacities and enrich the recovery planning process before and after large scale disaster. Additionally, the discussions were organized to provide an avenue for participants to discuss different recovery issues and reflect on wide array of options and examples from global experiences. Towards the end of the event, recommendations drawn from the group discussions were fine-tuned through comments from other participants and experts from IRP member organizations.
As way forward, NDMA Pakistan, UNDP, and UNISDR are exploring the best way to forward this type of learning event down to the district and village levels. NDMA, in partnership with other development organizations, can serve as focal for dissemination of training on recovery planning at national and local governments as well as other relevant organizations. IRP welcomes opportunity to assist NDMA in this endeavor.

Workshop on Developing Capacity for Resilience to Water related Disasters in Pakistan through Space Applications and Flood Risk Management
1-4 March 2011 (Islamabad, Pakistan)
The objective of this Workshop, which is organized jointly by UNESCAP, Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) at SUPARCO, Islamabad, Pakistan, is to develop the capacity to build better resilience to water related disasters as well as for more effective adaptation to climate change through the applications of space technology and flood risk management in Pakistan.
Space-based technologies increasingly play an important role in disaster risk management as demonstrated by floods in Pakistan and in Thailand. ADRC was invited as an expert by the organizers and made two presentations on "Enhancing the use of space-based technologies for disaster risk management" focusing on Sentinel Asia and "Community-based disaster risk management" respectively. Participants especially from Pakistan showed great interest in Sentinel Asia and other space-technology related programmes. Also, some participants underscored the importance of community-based disaster risk reduction activities in Pakistan. Space-technologies have been becoming more relevant to and useful for disaster risk management.
ADRC as a focal point for emergency observations of Sentinel Asia and a regional support office of UNSPIDER will continue to contribute to this objective.
(2011/03/04 13:10)
(8-9 February 2011, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
ADRC, TDLC, DMC Sri Lanka, NDMA Pakistan, and IRP jointly organized the training on disaster recovery planning for two SAARC member states. Over 40 high level government officials, who are engaged in long term post disaster recovery, participated in the event. It created a critical mass of government officials sensitized in concepts, principles, and tools of post disaster resilient recovery both at policy and field levels.
The training was linked to other countries through video conferencing. It included lecture, discussion, reflection, simulation through scenario, and presentation of group recommendations at the plenary. Participants were encouraged to share their experiences and lessons with other countries for improved understanding and abilities in recovery. Comments for improving recovery plans were facilitated by IRP trainers with comments from ADRC Executive Director and other experts at different VC sites.
Majority of the participants were decision-makers (Directors and Generals) indicating that the training attracted the interest of governments. It was clearly expressed that demand for training is at provincial and district levels. The use of case studies for training was highly appreciated by most participants, as it presented actual experiences. Suggestions to include more case studies from both Pakistan and Sri Lanka were strongly made.
Additionally, adjustments in the training module will be made, such reducing the length of lectures and adding more photos to the presentations to better describe the key recovery messages. Encouraging governments to own the training activities will be further promoted by transferring the training module. This arrangement will be strengthened in future training activities to reach out local government officials. (2011/02/09 14:20)
17-22 January 2011 (Jeju, Republic of Korea)
The ADRC participated in the 43rd Session of Typhoon Committee organizend by United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific(UNESCAP), the World Meteorological Organization(WMO) Typhoon Committee in Jeju on 17-22 January 2011.
The 43rd Session was hosted by Republic of Korea and around 100 participants attended the meeting included representatives from China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Republic of Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, USA, Viet Nam, Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, as well as representatives from the organizing institutions.
The Committee consists of three working groups, namely, WG on Meteorology(WGM), WG on Hydrology(WGH), and WG on Disaster Risk Reduction(WGDRR), among which ADRC has joined WGDRR.
The Committee as well as its WGs addressed issues related to the impact of climate change on tropical cyclone frequency and intensity, growing risks of urban flooding, among others. The ADRC gave a presentation on the recent activities introducing the framework of Sentinel Asia using GLIDE numbers for effective disaster response.

2 December - 5 December (Colombo, Sri Lanka)
ADRC representative recently visited Sri Lanka to explore the possibility of further strengthening collaboration between Sri Lanka and ADRC, especially focusing on the next Asian Conference on Disaster Reduction (ACDR) to be held in Sri Lanka sometime next year. Sri Lank, similar to many other Asian countries, is susceptible to various types of disasters. The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, already six years ago, killed more than thirty thousand people, injured more than twenty thousand and affected more than 1 million populations in Sri Lanka, the sheer scale of which is second only to Indonesia. Flood and land/mud slides frequently cause extensive human and physical damages in many parts of the country, but one of the most recent ones was the flash flood occurred in the capital Colombo affecting a large number of residents.
During the stay there, we visited several disaster stricken sites. One of the most intriguing sites was the Tsunami Photo Museum located nearby the site of a passenger train washed away by Tsunami killing over a 1,000 people in Galle district, southern part of Sri Lanka. This museum, privately owned, contains precious photos and messages of Tsunami, but in a small hut.

Participation in the Fourth Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (4th AMCDRR) in Incheon, Republic of Korea
25-28 October 2010, Incheon, Republic of Korea
ADRC participated in the 4AMCDRR held in Incheon, Republic of Korea from 25 - 28 October 2010. More than 900 participants comprising ministers of disaster management from 53 Asia-Pacific and European nations, representatives from UN agencies, international organizations, and NGOs attended the conference. The Prime Ministers of Republic of Korea and Kingdom of Bhutan were among the high level participants.
Under the theme "Disaster Risk Reduction through Climate Change Adaptation" (DRR through CCA), the conference was organized into three sessions: Session 1 "Raising awareness and building capacity for DRR & CCA", Session 2 "Developing and sharing information, technology, sound practices, and lessons learned in climate & disaster risk management", and Session 3 "Promoting integration of DRR & CCA into development for green growth". ADRC chaired Technical Session 1 and co-chaired the High Level Round Table of Session 1 (HLRT1) with the Maldives and Bhutan.
The outcomes of the technical session emphasized two key concerns. One is the need for training for both government officials and civil society organizations. The other is the need to learn from local and indigenous peoples on how they manage risk and the need to support their efforts in raising awareness. In this regard, it was suggested that DRR and CCA should be framed within local and national development planning. At the HLRT1, the ministers expressed problems of their countries, including issues on raising awareness and building capacity. HLRT1 recognized that problems vary from country to country, and that solutions need to be localized. HLRT1 had drawn commitments from delegates to work together and share technical knowledge. Recommendations from Technical Session and HLRT1 were reflected into the conference outcome documents: Incheon Declaration, Incheon Regional Roadmap or REMAP, and Incheon Action Plan aimed at establishing climate resilient disaster risk management systems by 2015 that will contribute to sustainable development at the regional, national and community levels.
ADRC also co-organized various side events at 4AMCDRR including "Incorporating space-based information and technologies into DRR and CCA" with UNOOSA, "Asian Film Festival on Disaster Management" with GFDR and ADPC, and "A tool for Better Recovery: Introduction to Guidance Notes on Climate Change Adaptation and Recovery" with IRP. The next AMCDRR will be held in Indonesia in 2012 and the progress of REMAP will be reviewed accordingly.
For more information on ADRC's activities during the 4th AMCDRR, please see the ADRC Highlights to be issued shortly.

17-18 June 2010 (Bangkok, Thailand)
The ADRC participated in the "Orientation Training on the Use of DRR Project Portal" developed under the IAP initiative on Regional Stocktaking and Mapping of DRR interventions, held in Bangkok, Thailand on 17-18 June 2010. The training was organized by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) in partnership with UNISDR and with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Approximately 30 officers from IAP members and other organizations in Asia and the Pacific joined the training.
In the training, participants learnt about the DRR Project Portal, including its usage, and also discussed on possible ways to increase the use of the DRR Project Portal and challenges in updating information. This portal is expected to contribute to promoting coordination and collaboration among DRR practitioners in Asia and the Pacific, avoiding duplications of activities, and better planning and programming in Asia and the Pacific.
The ADRC would like to provide support to the portal and contribute to further promoting it among DRR practitioners in Asia and the Pacific.

5-6 May, Singapore
The roundtable on Asian Regionalism was organized by the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, Centre on Asia and Globalization (CAG) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on 5-6 may at the LKY School in Singapore. Many experts in the fields of energy security, climate change and natural disaster response attended the roundtable from across Asia.
The Asian Disaster Reduction Center had been involved in the preparatory process to some extent, but the organizers invited Mr. Atsushi KORESAWA of the ADRC as one of the discussants in the session "Response to Natural Disasters." He presented why ADRC was established and how ADRC has been conducting its activities as one example of many regional/sub-regional organizations in Asia, especially focusing on its comparative advantages. The head of SAARC Disaster Management Centre in New Delhi and the executive director of the Pacific Disaster Center in Hawaii also participated in the session as discussants.
CSIS will produce a report by reflecting discussions at this forum. It has become certain hat disaster management has been gaining its importance in the context of the non-traditional security areas. However, it has been recognized that there are many disaster management related activities conducted by many different organizations which have some similarities or commonalities and thus some rationalization is required to make them more effective and useful.
ADRC will continue to conduct its activities in good collaboration with other organizations and focus on areas which ADRC has comparative advantages.

IRP participated in the State-Level Consultation on Gujarat Recovery Status Report, 20 March 2010 held at Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) Conference Room, Gandinagar City, India. The event, which was jointly organized by Global Forum for Disaster Reduction (GFDR) and Delhi University (DU) in close coordination with GSDMA, brought together over 20 representatives from various organizations in India, including national and local governments, local and international NGOs, development agencies, and academia.
During the consultation, IRP presented the rationale for developing a series of recovery status reports and emphasized the importance of highlighting innovative practices and experience in recovery to advance knowledge build-up. In particular, the Recovery Status Report on Gujarat Earthquake will help inform the development of Guidance Notes for Recovery to be used by national and local governments to ensure "build back better". The consultation resulted in (i) threshing out of issues and gaps in recovery process, (ii) sharing of experiences, good practices, and lessons, and (iii) deliberating the key messages drawn from Gujarat's unique recovery experience from the earthquake of 2001. The report will soon be uploaded in the IRP Website (www.recoveryplatform.org).

15-19 March 2010 (New Delhi, India)
The second phase of national consultations on the development of "Guidance Notes for Recovery" to be used by national governments to ensure "build back better" was held in India Habitat Centre, 15-19 March 2010. The event was jointly organized by IRP and UNDP India to draw lessons, experiences, and stories of post-disaster recovery. Over fifty Indian experts in the fields of infrastructure, shelter, climate change adaptation, health, and psycho-social aspects participated in the consultation. Case studies, good practices, and stories on various aspects of recovery from the wealth of experience in India were drawn from the week-long consultations. The Guidance Notes offer "Menu of Options" for enhancing recovery operations, wherein policymakers and practitioners determine the contextual relevance of those options. Each sector-specific guidance note is evidenced-based highlighting relevant case studies. The Guidance Note is continually updating to generate new options. As follow through to the consultations, IRP will organize a writeshop in Kobe as well as facilitate peer reviews in April 2010.

"Workshop on Transfer of Japanese Disaster Management Measures to Enhance Self/Mutual-help Capacity in Community of Sri Lanka"
The ADRC joined the "Workshop on Transfer of Japanese Disaster Management Measures to Enhance Self/Mutual-help Capacity in Community of Sri Lanka" held in Kandy, Sri Lanka from 18-19 February 2010. The workshop was organised by the Cabinet Office of Japan, Disaster Management Centre (DMC) of Sri Lanka and Tokio Marine & Nichido Risk Consulting Co., Ltd.
In the workshop, the ADRC made a presentation on disaster risk assessment and its efforts in Japan and also conducted a town watching program on both days. The target area for the town watching has been considered as a high risk area of flooding to be caused by dam break in the near future. DMC has been preparing for the expected disaster through the awareness raising of local government officials and community people in the area, as well as developing hazard maps. The workshop offered a good opportunity to enhance understanding and recognition of risks in the area among high level officials in the concerned local government and agencies.
15-19 February 2010 (New Delhi, India)
IRP and UNDP India jointly organized the first phase of national consultations on the development of "Guidance Notes for Recovery" to be used by national governments to ensure "build back better". The Guidance Notes shall highlight lessons learned and good practices from global recovery operations, covering the sectors: Livelihood, Environment, Gender, Governance, Public Infrastructure, Shelter, Health, Psycho-social Aspects, and Climate Change Adaptation.
The national consultations (Phase I) were held at UNDP Conference Room, New Delhi, 15-19 February 2010. Over 50 Indian experts in the fields of livelihood, gender, environment, and governance participated in the consultations. Case studies, good practices, and stories on various aspects of recovery from the wealth of experience in recovery from disasters were drawn from the consultations. The Guidance Notes will offer "Menu of Options" for enhancing recovery operations, wherein practitioner determines the contextual relevance of those options. It is evidenced-based that highlights case studies and it is continually updating to generate new options.

The 4th ERRP Regional Workshop was held in Dhaka on 10-12 Decmber 2009. The participants from each ERRP country exchanged of their opinions actively in the general workshop and also group formation/ discussions in parallel sessions concerning about the technical / financing/ monitoring and evaluation. On the last day of the Workshop, we visited Mirpur Training Center, Fire Service and Civil Defense and observed the fire drill at earthquake time. Flood disaster prevention is the major disaster management in Bangladesh, but felt enthusiasm to wrestle with earthquake disaster prevention more positively. At the end, it is requested from ADRC to make the best use of the results of last 2 years' ERRP activities in each member country and to develop ERRP further at each country level continuously in future.
In addition, ADRC carried out the guidance of the technical assistance service on 7-8 December 2009 at Rangamati Municipality ( from Chittagong to north-east for about three hours by car). We conducted the training about "Earthquake safe construction of Masonry Building" and "Quality Management of Reinforced Concrete Building" to the thirty local engineers stationed in Rangamati Municipality, then we visited several construction sites to observe the defects and also the counter measures with exchanging the technical opinions between us. This technical assistance service had been successfully completed.
ADRC conducted the second pull down test of a retrofitted building in Kathmandu, Nepal, on 2-3 November to compare with the first pull down test of a non-retrofitted building on 15 October as one of activities of Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness Programme (ERRP).
The non-retrofitted building used for the first pull down test completely fell down by intensity 13.5 ton, whereas the retrofitted building used for the second test did not even crack when intensity reached as much as 25 ton.
The comparison clearly demonstrates that earthquake-resistance of a building can be strengthened by applying the proposed retrofitting method (steel wire mesh plus mortal coating).
We will further examine the test results and produce a poster to promote the use of the proposed retrofitting method to masonry buildings as a very useful and cost-effective tool to enhance earthquake resistance.
The Asian Disaster Reduction Center has been carefully planned and prepared "Pull Down Test" for the last one year as a big event of "Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness Program for the South Asian Region". The first "Pull Down Test" of the existing non-retrofitted building was conducted on 15 October in Katmandu, Nepal.
This time, a 30-years old existing building was pulled until falling. The main purposes of the experiment are to enhance awareness of the threat of earthquake by observing actual situation how the building is collapsed when a big earthquake occurs, and also to examine the strength of an old house. Further, we will conduct the second "Pull Down Test" on 2 November for the purpose of verifying the effectiveness of the retrofitting by the JAKETTING method.
Many participants from Nepal government, United Nations, the ERRP member countries, and local communities observed the result of the experiment with particular interst. As the tensility was carefully enlarged, the cracks on the wall of the house became bigger, and finally the house was collapsed in a moment. The participants could realize well the vulnerability of the existing buildings to the big earthquakes. Further, local newspapers covered the event giving a great deal of space, which contributed to raiging people's awareness of disasters.
5th-8th Oct 2009 (Dhaka, Bangladesh )
The fourth Workshop on Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness Programme (ERRP) will be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 10th to 12th December. Through the workshop the relevant countries will present their outcomes on ERRP while experts will make presentations or give lectures on topics like retrofitting, risk assessment, hazard mapping, area disaster prevention plan, and contingency plan. On 5th to 8th October, ADRC sent its staff to Bangladesh to consult with Ministry of Food and Disaster Management and UNDP Bangladesh on the holding of the Workshop and exchange views concerning participation of Japanese experts and other issues. Detailed programme will be announced through ADRC Website once it is set.

Shoe Tree Rack The Easiest Option
Shoe tree rack – place shoes on shelves, there are different alternatives for storing shoes inside furniture. The easiest option is to place shelves, which can be positioned horizontally or at an inclination.
Boxes, another alternative is to keep the shoes in their own boxes or shoe tree rack. So you can form stacks to better exploit the spaces, but too many boxes can make it difficult to remove your shoes when you want to use and save them back to later.
Cardboard, it is also good idea to put small lasts vertically in the bottom of the cabinets. These are structures that take advantage very well the dimensions of the furniture. If you do not like this option (cardboard), you can always opt for furniture fabric, a great option for vertical spaces prove char economically, without installing shoe tree rack ,shelves or structures.

These cute little lemon berry trifles in a mason jar make the perfect treat for dessert or a snack. You can make them ahead of time and they'll keep in the refrigerator for several hours. Lemon berry trifles are so easy to put together that even your kids can make them. With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, they would make the perfect treat for mom to go along with her breakfast in bed (hint,hint). The best part about them is everything is store-bought, you just layer the ingredients. They would also be perfect to take on a picnic.
Anything in a mason jar seems to be the trend right now. Mason jars are inexpensive and have a multitude of uses. I found these little 8 ounce jars at Wal-Mart. You could use a larger size as well, but I felt this was just the right portion size since we were having a big lunch.
I used a store-bought angel food cake, but pound cake would be delicious as well. If you're feeling really lazy or don't have mason jars, you can omit the jar and serve a slice of cake with lemon Cool Whip and berries. You can find lemon curd at Trader Joe's and most grocery stores. It gives the Cool Whip a fresh tangy taste.
This is a light dessert mom will love that's not full of a ton of calories.
|Recipes in a Jar: Lemon Berry Trifle
- fresh berries, such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
- 8 oz. container of Cool Whip for 4 small jars
- jar of lemon curd
- angel food cake or pound cake
- mason jar or any type of dish
- Wash berries.
- Cut angel food cake into small pieces, roughly one inch.
- Mix equal portions of lemon curd and cool whip together in a bowl.
- Layer angel food cake, cool whip and berries in a mason jar.
- Top with berries.
My friend Chelsea shared this strawberry french toast recipe last year which would also make mom happy. Click here for the recipe.

U.S. Catholics and Protestants agree: they have more in common than not
The theological differences that led to the Protestant Reformation 500 years ago have since dwindled in both the United States and Western Europe.
That's the finding of a Pew Research Center survey released in anticipation of the October commemorations of the 500th anniversary of the schism in western Christianity.
Among U.S. Protestants, many today seem unaware of the differences, voicing beliefs that are more traditionally Catholic than Protestant.
"I think it's fair to say the differences between the two groups have diminished to a degree that might have shocked Christians of earlier centuries," said Greg Smith, associate director of research at the Pew Research Center. "Maybe it's not a huge surprise in the context of modern-day United States, but if you look back at the longer term—at the 500th anniversary of the Reformation—that would be quite surprising to a Christian of 300, 400, 500 years ago."
Of course, Smith noted, no survey data exists to measure responses to the same questions in the 1500s.
According to the survey, more Protestants reported they believe salvation comes through a mix of faith and good works (52 percent)—the traditionally Catholic position—than through "faith alone" (46 percent). That belief—sola fide in Latin—is one of five solas that form the backbone of Protestant Reformers' beliefs.
The same shares of Protestants also reported they believe Christians should look to the Bible, church teachings, and tradition for guidance—the Catholic position—rather than the "Bible alone," or the Protestant belief in sola scriptura.
Only 30 percent of U.S. Protestants affirmed both sola fide and sola scriptura. Belief in both doctrines was higher among white evangelical Protestants (44 percent) than white mainline Protestants (20 percent) or black Protestants (19 percent) and jumped even higher (59 percent) among white evangelicals who reported they attend church at least once a week.
U.S. Catholics, in contrast to Protestants, voiced beliefs more in line with the teachings of their church: 81 percent reported both good deeds and faith were needed to get into heaven, and 75 percent reported Christians should look to the Bible, church teaching, and tradition for guidance.
Differences between Catholics and Protestants once led to wars and persecution, but now most U.S. Catholics (65 percent) and Protestants (59 percent) agree they have more in common than not.
The U.S. survey of more than 2,500 adults, funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, was conducted online from May 30 to August 9. The margin of error for results based on each sample in that survey is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. —Religion News Service
A version of this article, which was edited on September 8, appears in the September 27 print edition under the title "Survey: U.S. Protestants and Catholics have more in common than not."


text: Back in December, Junior and I realized that we didn't have enough money to get the kids the Christmas gifts they really wanted. We had some things, but we wanted to get them more. A simple solution to our problem was doing a quick, easy payday loan. We were able to borrow enough money to finish up our shopping, and it didn't interfere with our bill money. Paying it back was as easy as using Junior's first check in January. While I do not recommend doing this if you are in a financial crisis, because if you can not pay it out quickly, it becomes a vicious cycle. But for emergencies between paychecks, payday loans are a great solution.

Coase Quotes at School for Collective Individualism
Coase Page at LSE History
While doing some online research for a short paper on Ronald Coase due today in my History of Econ class, I came across this nugget of humor from the leftish-leaning New School for Social Research:
- Coase's Theorem: A Land theory discussion
For the clueless, it's supposed to be the School for Cooperative Individualism.

If you want to understand the operation of hydraulic cylinders, it is important to know what transpires in the process. For the proper functioning of the hydraulic cylinder, the presence of the entire component is essential.
The main part of the hydraulic cylinder is:
- Cylinder barrel
- Piston
- Piston rod
Operation of hydraulic cylinder:
In the hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder barrel is the area in which the piston moves back and forth. When a force is applied to the cylinder head, piston rod comes out from the cylinder. The piston is configured of seals and sliding rings. It divides the cylinder into two parts that is rod end and the cap end.
The linear motion is achieved in a hydraulic cylinder through hydraulic pressure. The piston rod is used to attach the product to another object.
In the generator side of industrial hydraulic cylinders, you will find the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump is responsible for bringing the right amount of oil in the bottom part of the cylinder.

All villages have an Inn, and the Parrot, on the East side of the Green, has stood there for at least 400 years. In the Records Office at Guildford is an entry "Parrot Inn" stating that, "in 1712, on the 8th day of February, in the tenth year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lady Anne, an agreement was signed between John Evelyn, Esq., of Wotton, and Walter Miall of Abinger, for a cottage and one rood on Farlyes Green, this being renewed in 1812." This may have been transference of business, or possibly for an additional cottage. A map of 1840 shows the Parrot with Tea Garden on the opposite side of the road, on the Green. Those were the days of quiet slow-moving traffic. For many years the Surrey Trust Houses were responsible, leasing it privately as a Free House designated as a Cottage Inn, with two tiny bedrooms available for visitors, bed and breakfast being three shillings and sixpence per night in the 1930s.
The Village Shop and Post Office (East of Danesmead, after Beech Cottage), was a place to buy groceries and provisions, local postcards and the Parish Magazine whilst exchanging views. Earlier in the Century, there was a bakery behind the shop. It was run for many years by the Cuthbert family and finally closed in the 1970s. The shop has now been converted to two dwellings, The Old Post House East and West. In the early 1970s Tony McCann continued to run a shop for a few years from the premises of the garage.

You may need to have a small amount of breast tissue removed on the left side to make the breast more similar in shape.I think you could have a very nice result. Good luck!

Strain Highlights
This one's also part of that perfect run. Oh and its strong as hell as usual. She's best for night time and proper pain relief.
White Dawg is an Indica hybrid strain that is typically a cross between Chemdog and White Fire OG. White Dawg has been a winner of the Cannabis Cup Champion and with a strong smell that is floral in nature but not too overpowering. This strain has a nice, strong earthy taste and carries a THC content of more than 20%. The effects of White Dawg vary for people as those who use a bong and a vaporizer experience different effects. Within a few seconds, a person experiences a full body high. This is essentially a highly sedating strain hence is not recommended for depression. White Dawg carries tightly condenses buds that are covered in light green leaf, white tric's with orange hair. It smells pleasant with a hint of OG and Kush. With a CBD level of 0.18%, White Dawg is an extremely potent indica and induces a heavy body high. It is a great strain for anxiety, pain relief, nausea and insomnia but after consuming it, the need arises for a nap. The presence of a frosty white coating on White Dawg provide it with the high CBD and TCH levels that help with a number of ailments. White Dawg is certainly not a morning strain and should be consumed before heading to bed at night.

Nevoa- The Absence of Void- CD/ Digital ( Altare Productions)
More Epic Post Black metal with a very shoegazing element within it's framework as well. The Melodies as those sweep and expansive one that you hear now from the new wave of Northwest Blackened metal bands like Wolves in the throne room, Alda, Wolvserpent, Agalloch etc mix with bands like elements of bands like Anathema, Fen, Deafhaven etc . I thin you very clearly get where I'm going with this project . Portugal is becoming a bigger and bigger land for extreme and experimental metal sounds. Nevoa is as haunting as caustic in sound and creation. Altare Production has a band we should all be taking notice of as Nevoa can come out of no where and really rattle the black metal music world. The folk, Ritualistic and Post black metal is shining bright with this band ... Very impressive and complex yet delicate at same time. I swear at times they even have a love for Amber Asylum and Third and the Mortal. More Please and soon Nevoa.
Shape of Despair- Monotony Fields - CD/ Digital ( Seasons of Mist)
Where is the 90's Funeral doom movement been well it looks like 2015 is bringing it back in a massive wall of molasses like Brilliance with Skepticism and now Shape of Despair. My soul aches with the majesty of the primitive drumming, Pianos, Organs, Lumbering guitars and bass and those deep ultra guttural vocals that you know the moment you hear them. Ahhh the waves of sonic depression and pain are just what the doctor's ordered for a Doom metal fan. Every track over 7-11 minutes in length and have that wonderful build up and time to be come wall of low end we all need in this genre. With each release Shape of Despair add some new element this time out is a Post rock vibe to the way the reverb and layers ebb and flow through out the album. This could be the soundtrack to the last few survivors of a dying forget world. We have one of Doom metal's elite soldiers with Shape of Despair ... Time and time again they keep showing how to expand the style and keep the very roots at hand as well. The candle burns eternal at the window for you to come home my dear dear friends..
Vaee Solis- Adversarial Light- CD/ Digital ( Signal Rex/ Mordgrimm)
Black doom in the most tormented and tortured manners . The female vocals are that of bands like 13, Black lodge, Damad, Crisis etc. The suffering you can hear in the vocals are amazing and soul reaping. The music is cold and raw like black metal of northern europe with that crusty/sludge doom full low end and slow tempo that just claws right under your skin. There is a noisy hardcore element going at time like Oathbreaker and His hero is gone. You can just feel the sorrow and aggression with every note and riff that is being released from Adversarial Light. Bands like Vaee Solis are something that will fester in your mind and make you listen to them over and over again. There is nothing fast about this band but you never need it with a band like this. I hear elements of eye hate god and deinonychus all at the same time with this band. Many they have something every in common with the Dark/ Suicide Metal movement as well. What we have hear is as grim and sick as nightmarish and terrifying .
Fin amor- Forbidding Mourning- CD/ Digital ( Self Released)
As we move into a more futurist world bands like Fin amor really come out every one an a while to shake things up. This time we have a mix of Melodic , Symphonic, Tech Death metal with elements of Black Death and Prog metal into something that could have come from legendary bands like Edge of Sanity, Hypocrisy etc. There is a doom element that also comes from bands like Novembers Doom earlier days as well as bands like Paradise lost .. So Fin amor really comes from 2 or 3 different metal realms. This Brooklyn force needs to be heard and experienced by many more out there. So I hope many of you take a chance of a DIY band that deserve much success with the creativity and talent they have put into this release. They are a brooklyn band that has nothing to do with the scene that is there currently there is nothing indie or noise rock about them. I look forward to more and by bigger labels and support for this ultra talented unit.
Majestic Downfall- When Dead- CD/ Digital (Pulverised Records)
Ok this is nothing a expected with a band name like Majestic Downfall. It started out like a atmospheric doom metal force from the Peaceville glory days and with the 1st full track its blistering black death like Dissection, Samael and Behemoth then half way through the track it goes back to the death doom sounds of early Tiamat, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost.. This band is another playing mind games with genres in the most wonderful of way as well. " When Dead" is huge in sound and scape of arrangements. There is Bleak melody and an occult element to it all at the same time. The guitars go from space prog of Amorphis to will of Doom and then Black Death then back to the spaced out riffs again. I even hear elements of DHG and Early Code going on here. You even get that classic metal sound of Mercyful Fate and Sabbat.. You really need to hear it to fully understand and the more challenging of releases are the ones that stick with you long term.. Very interesting indeed ...
My Hollow-On Borrowed Time- CD/ Digital ( Self Released)
This Decade is the 1st time so many bands of amazing talents and skills are doing so many self releases with out label support and just working with good PR and Social media to get out to the world. With My Hollow they mix some elements that together make a potent combo for the metal world. They love Power metal, Extreme Thrash, Prog Death metal and a good dose of groove to come at you with both fist flying. If you could mix bands like Trials, Strapping young lad, Pantera, Warbringer and Testament to name a few.. The manic and aggressive nature of the band and very punchy bass lines makes this have a very modern and nu metal element to it but they are not really in the genre. There is a very post hardcore/Mathcore element to all of this as well. Damn it all I know is this is a great heavy metallic album with many many vocals styles and guitar riffage going on. Horns up and keep independent metal alive !!!
Take over and Destroy- Vacant Face-CD/ Digital ( Pulverised Records)
From my current home of Arizona come a mix of sounds that are just so out there its amazing. Mix Thrash, Prog, Indie Noise, Sci fi metal, Post Hardcore and Avant oddball elements. This is what if Mr Bungle, Dog Fashion Disco, Slayer , Voivod and Devin Townsend all got together and formed a band and just played the 1st things that came to mind and released. Absolutely fucking amazing in so many levels words will not even come close to explaining the levels of excitement this is giving to this reviewer. I love the horror elements within all of this as well. I want to call them the american Sigh at time as it has those weirdo 70's prog meets Black Death and avant wonderment that Sigh does at well but there is so much more going on here as well. Do not miss out on this it's god damn amazing !!!!
Hope Drone - Cloak of Ash- CD/ Digital (Relapse Records)
THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING RELEASES OF 2015 !!!!! IT IS LAYERS OF POST METAL, DRONE, NOISE, ETHEREAL , SPACIAL PROG ROCK AND A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH FOR YEARS TO COME.... YES I'M YELLING THIS TO THE WORLD AS THE MIX SOME OF THE BEST BANDS EVER INTO SOMETHING EVEN BETTER.... THINK OF BANDS LIKE ALCHEMIST, WOLVHAMMER, ISIS, KHANATE, MINDROT, NEUROSIS, THE RED CORD, VOIVOD, WOLVSERPENT AND TRIPYKON and THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.. THEY HAVE ELEMENTS OF BANDS LIKE DOLORIAN AND KATATONIA AS WELL. OK IF I KEEP GOING ON I WILL NEVER STOP AS THIS MAYBE THE ALBUM OF 2015 FOR ME. I WANT JAMES PLOTKIN TO JOIN THIS BAND AS WELL AS I THINK THEY WOULD BE THE BAND TO UNITE THE SONIC REALMS TOGETHER AND GIVE US A 1000 YEARS OF PEACE. THIS ALBUM IS REALLY THAT GOOD.. GET IT OR FOREVER BE LOST!!!!!!!!!!
Funeral Throne- Threshold- CD/ Digital ( Blut & Eisen Productions)
Ambient and Hypnotic Post Black metal again with elements of Thrash, Shoegazing and just all out left field sounds. This at its heart is a Post Black metal release showing all the other sounds the band loves on its sleeves. There is even an old school gore/ death metal feeling coming through out the tracks from time to time. Some loves the old Black metal ways of Northern Europe and Northwest of America and wanted to mix it into some that even the noisiest of thrash and punk fans could love as well. This is aural chaos in all it's stellar grandiose traditions . With bands like Funeral Throne the past is something the want to expand and experiment on with 2015 ideals and technology and the two work very well with a band of this talent. This is an album with many themes, styles , layers and even most times to listen to it and hear something new..

Hey all you bunny lovers n' tree huggers…
This is how natures works!
This baby elephant had a very lucky escape after a crocodile tried to bite off his trunk – only for his mum to come to the rescue.
In a real-life version of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, this calf had been splashing around in the shallow end of a watering hole in the African bush, when the crocodile launched out of the water and clamped down on his trunk.
The rest of the herd stood around in shock, trumpeting and snorting as they battled to save the helpless baby elephant from the attack.
Against the odds, the tiny baby elephant managed to beat off the reptile and stumble backwards, leaving the crestfallen crocodile to slink back into the murky water.
The incredible pictures were caught on camera by Zimbabwean farmer and keen amateur photogtapher Francois Borman, by the Mana Pools in Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley.
Francois, 48, said: 'I was out in the bush for a few hours waiting for some action – but this is the last thing I expected to see!
'I often have great expectations when I go out with my camera, and this sighting was just truly amazing to witness.
'I saw a small herd of elephants coming down to drink – a local crocodile spotted them and spent some time sizing them up, homing in on the small calf playing in the shallows.
'The baby elephant had obviously been looking forward to the drink, because he ran straight in and flopped down into the shallow, muddy water, rolling and splashing about.'
