How It Works
Anticoagulants work by increasing the time it takes a blood clot to form. They also prevent a clot from getting bigger.
Normally, when an injury that causes bleeding occurs, the body sends out signals that cause the blood to clot at the wound. The clot naturally breaks down as the wound heals. A person who is prone to abnormal clotting has an imbalance between clot formation and clot breakdown. Anticoagulants prevent the production of certain proteins that are needed for blood to clot. Anticoagulants do not break up or dissolve existing blood clots.
Why It Is Used
In people who have had pulmonary embolism, anticoagulants are used to prevent more blood clots from forming and causing another episode of pulmonary embolism. They are used in the hospital as first treatment of a pulmonary embolism. And they also may be used at home. Treatment with anticoagulants may continue throughout your life if your risk of having another pulmonary embolism remains high.
Heparin is given as an injection. It immediately affects the clotting system in your body. It might be the first anticoagulant used to treat pulmonary embolism. You might take heparin for a few days. Then you'll likely take another anticoagulant in pill form.
- Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as initial treatment is usually preferred because it can be given as an injection once or twice per day, and it may be given at home, which allows you to leave the hospital earlier. Blood tests are not usually needed to monitor LMWH's clotting effect.
- Unfractionated heparin is another form that can be used. It is given in the hospital. Unfractionated heparin is usually given continuously through your vein (intravenously, or IV). But it can also be given as an injection under the skin. Frequent blood tests are used to monitor the clotting effects of this medicine.
Rivaroxaban is taken as a pill. Rivaroxaban can be started right away for treatment or right after you stop taking heparin.
Warfarin is taken as a pill. Warfarin is usually started while a person is still being treated with heparin because it takes several days for warfarin to build up to a level that's effective. When warfarin is at the right level in your blood, you stop taking heparin shots and keep taking warfarin pills.
Fondaparinux is an injected anticoagulant. It is used only in the hospital.
How Well It Works
Anticoagulants are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.1, 2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Allergic reaction
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. (It may be a sign of bleeding in the brain.)
Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if you have:
- Any abnormal bleeding, such as:
- Nosebleeds.
- Vaginal bleeding that is different (heavier, more frequent, at a different time of the month) than what you are used to.
- Bloody or black stools, or rectal bleeding.
- Bloody or pink urine.
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Realize that it will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
Heparin: Side effects often happen at injection sites. These side effects include:
- Pain.
- Irritation.
- Bruising.
Warfarin: Other side effects include:
- Skin rash.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
When you take anticoagulants, you need to take extra steps to avoid bleeding problems. These steps include:
- Prevent falls and injuries.
- Go to all follow-up appointments and tests.
- Tell your doctors about all other medicines, vitamins, and dietary supplements that you take.
- Know what to do if you miss a dose of anticoagulant.
Long-term use of heparin is not typically recommended. It requires one or two injections each day. And long-term use is linked with osteoporosis.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant: You will take heparin during your pregnancy. Heparin has not been shown to affect the fetus.
If you think you might be pregnant or plan to get pregnant: Talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide which medicine you will take during your pregnancy. Doctors don't know if rivaroxaban affects a fetus. This medicine might cause pregnancy-related bleeding. If you take rivaroxaban, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Do not take warfarin if you are pregnant. Warfarin can cause miscarriage or birth defects. If you are taking warfarin, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
If you think you might be pregnant: Call your doctor. If you are pregnant, you will take heparin during your pregnancy.
If you plan on getting pregnant: Talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide which medicine you will take—warfarin or heparin—while trying to get pregnant.
For more information, see Pregnancy and the Increased Risk of Developing Blood Clots.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Using Elster EnergyAxis, BEA is rolling out advanced metering and communications technologies to provide more customer information and future payment options (prepay), giving the utility's consumers greater control of their energy use and costs. BEA is the seventh TVA power distributor to partner with Elster as part of the TVA's move toward delivering improved operational efficiencies to customers. Elster will work with its partners CalAmp, ElectSolve, WESCO and Apex CoVantage on the BEA Smart Grid deployment.
"Elster's work with TVA members such as BEA is helping the Tennessee Valley Public Power Association achieve its mission to meet Smart Grid initiatives and deliver value to customers," said Mark Munday, President and CEO of Elster Solutions.
"Elster looks forward to working with BEA as the utility honors its commitment to deliver greater electric grid efficiency to its customers. Elster continues to work with leading utilities across the globe to make Smart Grid benefits more tangible to energy consumers," Munday added.

Solar Clutch
this wiki
Over 2 million people are displaced and living in displacement/refugee camps. The ongoing conflict has brought close to 400,000 deaths in the past 4 years. Dispite UN intervention and humanitarian relief efforts the situation has gone from bad to worse. Solar Clutch has been working with local agencies on the ground to promote solar cooking in the regions where trees are scarce. The risk of rape and death face the women and children searching the remote country side for firewood. Agencies like Darfur Peace and Development Organization, Samartian's Purse, World Vision, World Relief, Action Contra Faim, World Food Program, and the International Red Cross are all working to bring relief to this region of the world.
Working with available materials for solar cooker construction
- Stephen Harrigan, Solar Clutch, 2012
"Available material" is a major factor in making solar cookers practical around the world. Take the CooKit as an example: We assume that cardboard is readily available everywhere and cheap to obtain. However most regions of the world where they most need solar cooking you will not find cheap cardboard. You have to buy the cardboard box from a local merchant. And most likely it is torn and has holes in it that you have to patch with tape (which then you have to buy a roll of tape.) Then you have to find aluminum foil….again not easy to locate except in a "Western" supermarket. Price goes up accordingly. Glue is usually available but you have to get a whole tin of it…maybe more than you need. You will also have to buy some razor knives to cut out the cardboard and foil.
Your cardboard CooKit still has to be reinforced at the joints and seams and finger tips. At best it will last 6 months, and then you do this all over again.
Even though at Solar Clutch we love our Poly-Furnace …. alas the material, however good it is, might as well be from the moon as most places haven't a clue what polypropylene fluteboard is or Mylar.
Is there another alternative material? "Cool Roofing" material. Everywhere in Africa and most of the Third World you will find roofing pan that is galvanized or zinc coated.
In the past the galvanized coating has been dull and oxidized over time. But with of the improvements in zinc coating you will find zinc pan that is highly reflective to the level of aluminum. In the effort to reflect the heat in the tropics the zinc roofs are now looking like mirrors dotting the country side. I noted this April 2012 in Ethiopia.
So I went to the market in Addis Ababa and purchased some flat rolled zinc tin of medium grade thickness. With the help of my Ethiopian crew we made a CooKit. We had to cut it with tin snips and bend the seams with a wood board for a straight edge. The "fingers" we bent over as "dog ears" too keep them locked in. We dulled the sharp edges by rubbing stones against them. The cookit won't fold up in a little packet but who cares? It is washable and can be left outside or inside. The cost was just about $6 which is about the same cost of buying material for a cardboard and aluminum foil cooker!
I took it to the Afar region of Ethiopia and tested it against our Poly-Furnace cookers. It did its job just fine and although was not as bright as the Mylar, the practicality and availability of material make it much more indigenous option and reproducible by the average guy and definitely will outlast many cardboard cookers.
News and recent developments
- April 2010: Stephen Harrigan runs a U.S.-based nonprofit organization called Solar Clutch that designs and produces solar cookers for distribution to impoverished parts of the world. His cookers include a corrugated plastic solar box cooker called the Sun Scoop and a panel-type solar cooker made from woven baskets and modified clay water pots common in Sudan, called the Borma. Through Solar Clutch, Harrigan also offers consultation and training services to organizations wishing to set up solar cooker programs. In 2006, Harrigan helped the Darfur Peace and Development Organization (DPDO) begin a solar cooker training program for women displaced due to persistent conflict in Darfur. After much research and experimentation, he prepared a solar cooking training model for DPDO. Harrigan selected Solar Cookers International's cardboard and foil solar CooKit as the primary solar cooker to be used due to its low cost and simplicity. Though the solar cookers are being made locally in Sudan, DPDO has also imported several hundred more durable corrugated plastic versions made by volunteers in the United States. Volunteers in Fort Wayne, Indiana (USA) are making corrugated plastic solar cookers for displaced families in Darfur, complete with uplifting personal messages written on the backs (photo: Solar Clutch) From the beginning, Harrigan believed that DPDO's infrastructure and ongoing work in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps would be useful in promoting solar cooking. Solar cookers make a lot of sense in these camps because traditional cooking fuels, especially firewood, are in short supply, and the women that forage outside the camps for firewood must not only walk ever greater distances to find firewood, but also risk their personal safety. DPDO reports having trained 321 IDPs to solar cook from 2006 through mid-2009. Workshops have taken place in a number of camps and towns, including: Kalma and Sakali IDP camps in South Darfur, El Fasher town and Kassab IDP camp in North Darfur, and Omdurman and Haj Yousif towns in Khartoum. Women spend less time and energy foraging for firewood outside of IDP camps when they use solar CooKits (photo: DPDO) According to DPDO's Web site, "workshop participants quickly recognized the time- and money-saving benefits of the cookers, and learned to prepare all of the traditional Sudanese foods. [They] … continue to experiment with recipes, develop cooking-time charts, and conduct training workshops within their communities. DPDO subsidizes training workshops and provides supplies and training expertise, manuals, and follow-up assessment of use." Future trainings have been scheduled for DPDO women's centers in Kassab and Abu-Shouk camps, the latter of which was visited by U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan Scott Gration in September 2009. Many of the women at the center had previously been trained and were solar cooking when Gration visited. DPDO reports that Gration "was impressed with [the women's] efforts and tasted rice that had been cooked with a solar cooker."
- January 2009: In Ethiopia Steve Harrigan made solar cookers with the Ethiopian and Somali people at the Agape Reading Center. The Somali people are already refugees in Ethiopia and in great financial need. Solar cooking is a free source of energy to that allows them to cook without having to use firewood. An Ethiopian couple also was excited to learn how to make solar cookers because they run an orphanage near the Somali boarder and have 30 little mouths to feed 3 times a day! We made cookers from the wheel chair boxes that had been donated to the handicap people of Ethiopia. A double use of the resources God has put at our disposal. If you would like to help provide solar cookers for this orphanage please contact us.

Popular Dungeness crab season opens
It's a fishery well anticipated by a great many anglers – crab, a crustacean made even more popular by the TV series "Deadliest Catch."
California anglers don't have to fight the often-fearsome conditions of the Bering Sea. Party boats going out for limits of rock cod will set out crab pots. Once fishing is concluded, the boat will swing by and pick up the pots, dumping out crab, rebaiting the pots and putting them down.
When the hydraulics begin the process of lifting the pots, anglers commonly mass around the deckhand handling the gear to see the pots rise to the surface, to see the crabs. There are ooohs and aaaahs when anglers see the pots surface with the crabs trapped inside.
Oftentimes, especially early in the season, anglers are rewarded with limits of rock cod and Dungeness crab.
The location of the port determines the limit. The daily bag limit is 10 unless you're on a party boat south of Mendocino County, where the limit is six. The minimum size limit for crab is 5¾ inches, except for anglers on party boats, where the minimum is six inches.
The Department of Fish and Game conducted a first-ever study, and data showed more than 350,000 crabs taken by sport crabbers last year. The majority was caught in November and December.
And while crab populations are cyclical, the great news is that the DFG reports crab numbers appear to be on an upswing.
Some of the best crabbing is found before the commercial season opens, and there is competition from the large number of pots set out by commercial boats. That season isn't open, so you have the chance to get into a dynamite fishery with access to the most and largest crab available.
Current fishing
Port of Sacramento: Access no longer is easy. The south shore side has been fenced off, but anglers still find a way to get to the levee and fish the port and channel. Some will go further west, where there are launches, and boat up to the bass fishery. If you get a boat onto the port, know you're not allowed within 150 feet of the docks.
The Lake Washington Outboard Club held its annual striped bass derby last Saturday. Many bass were checked in, but there were no lunkers. The biggest was a 10.8-pounder, and the majority was cookie-cutter size – from 2½ to five pounds.
Those trolling, jigging and drifting jumbo minnows were accounting for fish, but minnows held a lead in attracting and catching. One boat with three anglers reported going through nine minnows in a short time, which only accounted for two keepers.
Suisun Bay: The mothball fleet is a short run from the boat ramp at Martinez. And, early indications are the sturgeon fishery this year is going to be great. There are several shakers being caught and having to be released and are readily grabbing shrimp baits, eel and pile worms. Roe also should be a top attractor. There are a big number of bass roaming the waters, and soaking a bullhead should get you bit. Many bass in the teens and some 20-pounders are on the prowl, too.
Bodega Bay: Ocean waters got crowded for the crab opener with a good 300 boats. The good news, everybody who brought up the pots were rewarded with limits. Besides the crab, party boats will be running for the big Humboldt squid.
New Melones: The winter trout fishery is always great and shaping up to be no different this year. To help, the Department of Fish and Game added a plant. Glory Hole is the closest area along with its boat ramp. Don't troll deeper than 15 feet to find limits. Action is picking up for those limited to being on shore with the usual offerings of eggs, crawlers and Power Bait.
Ice House Reservoir: No storms are in the near future, and the roads are open. Expect it to be nippy in the early morning, so dress in layers. The dock at the launch ramp has been pulled out, so you'll have to rough it when launching. But going is worth it. Fish aren't that big, perhaps to 12 inches, but they're plentiful. Haul a J-5, J-7 or thread on a brown or green Grub, and stay in the top 15 feet of water. There will be times you can't seem to beat off the trout.
Folsom Lake: The bass and salmon/trout bite appears to be picking up. In a day's worth of fishing, you'll get bit but limits are rare. You'll find bass in 10-30 feet of water, and those that were caught took jigs, spoons and even cranks. Troll the deeper water, from 35-50 feet, in and around the river channel at Brown's Ravine or in front of the dam. A threaded-crawler behind blades should get you bit. Watch your scope and adjust your depth as you find fish.

Bus lines for company personnel
Aware of the importance of facilitating travel for its employees in a widespread region that is not densely populated, Jaeger-LeCoultre has for many years been an active supporter of carpool arrangements, by making bulletin boards available for employees to match their transportation needs. The Swiss watchmaker also reserves a number of parking spots for carpool vehicles. These initiatives, in line with the values of Jaeger-LeCoultre, have significantly reduced traffic in the Vallée de Joux.
Since October 2007, the Manufacture has also set up a bus service operated entirely at the Company's expense. Two bus routes run currently, to provide staff with a safe and pleasant means of commuting from home to the Manufacture in the morning and back in the evening, over distances ranging between 35 and 50 kilometres.
Bus route 1: Morez – Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Morez, Les Rousses, Le Noirmont, Bois d'Amont, Le Brassus, Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Bus route 2: Pontarlier – Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Pontarlier, Jougne, Vallorbe, Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Bus route 3: Labergement-Sainte-Marie – Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Labergement-Sainte-Marie, Mouthe, Charbonnières, Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre
Studies indicate the carpooling and the bus routes serve to keep 270 cars off the road, each of which would cover a distance of around 50 kilometres on around 220 days per year. The total annual reduction amounts to approximately 3 million kilometers – thereby making a major contribution to reducing traffic-related air pollution!
First prize in the "Cantonal Mobility Prize" in 2008
The Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre has been awarded the cantonal mobility prize. This prize, presented by Canton Vaud, rewards efforts by companies to provide transport for their employees. The company's initiative in reducing traffic by finding alternative solutions has thus been singled out as an example.

May 6, 2016
A historic courthouse in Wilson damaged by last winter's snowfall and recent summer downpours is getting a much needed renovation.
The Imagination Station Science and History Museum, which is inside the old Wilson County Courthouse, received $25,000 in grants to repair the roof.
Large spots of plaster of the nearly 90-year-old courtroom - where federal court cases were once heard - are falling onto the floor and jury box.
Museum Executive Director Nancy Van Dolsen says the roof is flat and collects large puddles of water that's now seeping through to the ceiling.
Van Dolsen says it's important to preserve the historic buildings around us. "This was the old courthouse and post office building. We're very committed to restoring it. It is a key building in downtown Wilson and many people still remember this courtroom, it operated until the early 1980's and we want to preserve part of our past."
Van Dolsen says the grants will replace the original gravel roof, but that it will take at least a year to repair the plaster.
The money came from individual donors, as well as the Wilson Tourism Authority.

ENGLEWOOD — Gun-control supporters gathered Saturday afternoon with signs and posters to raise awareness of the gun debate at the federal level.
State Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, spoke to a crowd of about 100 people at the First Universalist Church of Denver, urging them to call their U.S. senators and representatives and press them to support national gun-control measures like the ones passed in Colorado.
On Thursday in Washington, Senate Democrats got the support of several Republicans in voting to reject a GOP filibuster and proceed with the gun-control debate.
"I'm excited they decided they're going to vote," Fields said.
The state representative was joined by her daughter Maisha; Don Macalady, president of Hunters Against Gun Violence; and other pro-gun-control groups such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Organization for Action and Moms Demand Action.
"We're not gonna solve all problems. We're not gonna end gun violence," Macalady said. But he said he is going to at least support laws that address those issues.
Speakers touched on emotionally sensitive gun-related tragedies such as the Aurora movie theater shooting, the Sandy Hook incident and Columbine.
Sunny Kelly choked up thinking of the victims of Sandy Hook as she held a sign stating, "Friends don't buy friends guns."
"I think now is the right time," said Kelly, a member of Organization for Action.

Healthy Eating: Staying With Your Plan
Eating one healthy meal isn't hard. It's not even hard to eat three healthy meals in a single day. The hard part is making changes in your daily life so that you start eating healthy every day—and keep eating healthy every day.
If you're having problems staying with your plan, don't worry. You're not alone. You'll be glad to hear that there are plenty of tips and tricks you can use to get yourself back on track and stay there.
Let's begin with these key ideas:
- Your reason for wanting to eat healthy is very important. It won't work if you're doing it because someone else—your spouse, your children, your doctor—wants you to. You have to want it.
- If you've started a healthy eating plan but don't feel like you're making any progress, it may be time to update your goals.
- If you've started a healthy eating plan but are having trouble keeping it going, it may help to figure out what's getting in your way. Then you can figure out how to work around those barriers.
If you haven't started a healthy eating plan yet, it may be helpful to read:
It can be frustrating to start a new habit like healthy eating and then have to stop because something gets in the way—illness, travel, or even just having a bad day. Your goal is to get back in the habit and find a way to make it a routine part of your life.
Remember that you can't create a habit overnight. Keep at it, even if you slip up along the way. It can take as long as 3 months of repetition to form a habit, so every day is a step in the right direction.
Here are three important steps:
- Have your own reasons for wanting to eat healthy.
- Set goals. Include long-term goals as well as short-term goals that you can measure easily.
- Think about what might get in your way, and prepare for slip-ups.
Test Your Knowledge
In order to stay with your healthy eating plan, you need to make healthy eating a daily habit.
This answer is correct.
A habit is something you do almost without thinking. When a task like brushing your teeth or eating lots of vegetables becomes a regular habit, it's much easier to keep doing it over the long term. But it takes patience and practice.
This answer is incorrect.
A habit is something you do almost without thinking. When a task like brushing your teeth or eating lots of vegetables becomes a regular habit, it's much easier to keep doing it over the long term. But it takes patience and practice.
Your reasons for wanting to eat healthy are really important. Knowing your reasons may help you keep going. What makes you want to eat healthy?
- You want to feel better and have more energy.
- You want to control your weight.
- You have another reason for wanting to do this.
It's not always easy to make healthy eating a lifelong habit. But taking the time now to really think about what motivates or inspires you will help you stay with it.
Tips for staying motivated
- Sit down with a pencil and paper and write down all the reasons you can think of for wanting to stay with your healthy eating plan. It may help to see them written down. Hang the list in your kitchen, bathroom, or maybe at work—someplace where you will see it every day.
- Think back to when you first started your switch to healthier eating. Did you notice a difference in the way you felt? Did anyone else notice a difference? Write down any positive responses you got, and hang them up too.
- Put up a photo or a quote that inspires you. It can be something that you find in a book or online. Or maybe it's a snapshot of you and your family playing sports or doing some other activity together.
Test Your Knowledge
It's easier to stay with a healthy eating plan when you're clear about why you want to do it.
Update your goals
When you first started your healthy eating plan, you probably had one or more big goals in mind, like controlling your high blood pressure or lowering your cholesterol.
Are those goals the same today? Or do you need to change them?
- Are you having trouble meeting those long-term goals? You may need to come up with new short-term goals to help you get there. Short-term goals are things that you want to do tomorrow and the day after.
- Did you try to take on too much too fast? That's a reason why some people have trouble making a lifestyle change. Remember to make your short-term goals small steps. For example, if you want to lower your blood pressure, a small step would be to limit the amount of sodium in your diet by cutting down on the amount of processed foods you eat, like packaged snack items, luncheon meats, and canned soups.
- Did you meet your long-term goal and then stop? Good for you for meeting your goal! But now you need a new long-term goal to help you stay with your healthy eating plan.
Getting past slip-ups
Everyone has slip-ups. But there's a difference between slipping up and giving up. Going back to your old eating habits for a while is a slip-up. It doesn't mean that you're a failure.
When you slip up, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened. Why did you stop? Think of ways to get yourself going again. Learn from your slip-ups so that you can keep on toward your goal of eating healthy.
For some common reasons for slip-ups, and suggested solutions, see:
Tips for maintaining your healthy eating plan
Remember that healthy eating means eating a wide variety of foods in the right amount:
- Limit alcohol. Alcohol provides a lot of calories and no nutritional benefit.
- Make mealtimes pleasant. A meal is more than just eating food. It can also be a social event, a time to communicate with family and friends, and a time to relax. Eat slowly, and enjoy the food. Do not watch television or read while you eat.
- Use a meal plan to help control what you eat. Plan meals ahead of time. Many people find it easier to plan meals for a week at a time.
- Avoid unplanned eating. Eating unplanned calories can spoil a healthy eating plan. If you are someone who tends to get hungry between meals, schedule healthy snacks throughout your day to manage that hunger. The healthy snacks will keep you from being so hungry at regular mealtimes that you overeat. Just be sure to plan your snacks as part of your overall calories for the day.
Test Your Knowledge
Feeling guilty is the right response when you let your healthy eating habits slip.
This answer is incorrect.
When you slip up and get off of your healthy eating plan, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened and why you slipped. And then come up with ways to get yourself going again.
This answer is correct.
When you slip up and get off of your healthy eating plan, don't get mad at yourself or feel guilty. Think of it as a learning experience. Figure out what happened and why you slipped. And then come up with ways to get yourself going again.
There's something wrong if you've tried a new healthy eating step for 4 weeks and you still don't feel like it's become a habit.
This answer is incorrect.
No, 4 weeks is not enough time to form a habit. Experts say that it takes about 3 months of repetition to form a habit.
This answer is correct.
Yes, 4 weeks is not enough time to form a habit. Experts say that it takes about 3 months of repetition to form a habit.

Looks like a real and large city to me
I'm excited you are going to another version. You are breaking the city up in multiple islands I think?
Woah, long time no post...
So, I was brainstorming some ideas for converting my Fogdown D&D 3.5e game to the new Eberron 4e rules and to help facilitate that, I thought I would give the ol' Fogdown map a go again. I was never really happy with some of the things in the last map, so here is my chance to fix it up, and to hear everyone's great suggestions!
I started to lay the bases for the buildings and the land mass, using a tweaked version of Ascension's continent building tutorial, as well as some experiments along the lines of the Lazy Man's City builder tutorial.
Currently, I'm going around the edges and "breaking up" some of the building clusters (like the top part). The idea is that the outskirts are maze-like shanty towns and tenements. Closer to the center, the building have a little more order and represent more of the commercial and industrial centers. Finally, on the largest buildings are immense towers that loom over the city.
Let me know what you think!

Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Yeah, the last map didn't have enough bridges for cool fight scenes, so thought I'd breakup the island a little.
Also, since Eberron is a little steam-punky, i like the idea of races to opening draw bridges, leaps to barges passing underneath and fights on ferryboats.
Sounds like a neat idea, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Wow, I put Fogdown in my 'Creation and depiction' tutorial as an example of great city building....so wonderful if you're going to improve it even further.
Your base is the kind of base that I use for the lazyman's city, but check this thread out.
Alfar has kindly made a 'context free' program which will make some interesting shaped buildings to break up the monotony of the voronoi / mosaic shapes, which I think will work excellently at this scale.
Please post lots of WIPs Redstar. My mapmaking is on hiatus while I'm waiting for a new computer to arrive (Thursday...hurrah!) and I'll be making a city quite closely aligned to the same principles you're using for Fogdown redux. I made a start here until my computer packed in...so I'd love to compare notes as I/we progress in our work.
All the best
That's funny, it was your commissioned piece that got me thinking of ways to redo the Fogdown map! I love this site... I saw the deception pdf just the other day, I'm glad Fogdown could be used to help other folks out! I'm also glad you give fair warning for the "close up maps", noting that it can take days. I hoping the Lazy Man technique can let me focus more on details and not on layouts. There is a strange zen to drawing squares though...
That context free render script looks like it can come in handy. I'll be sure to post plenty o' WIPs as I go along -- partly to sedate your mapping fix, partly to hear what folks think
Stop talking and start posting WIPs!
Haha, just kidding of course. But I am kinda excited. Loved the first map and I am a sucker for town maps.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Worked on the map a little today...
- I got impatient and started experimenting with the textures. I'm not sure if the water is exactly what I'm going for. The ground I also have mixed feelings about. The buildings I like and may add a few more different textures to add some variation.
- I also need to add the "unique" buildings
- Need to mess around with the road texture a little more to get more sand in there
I found a way to make variated colours on the buildings using (I think) clouds with strong colours and then the posterize filters...you end up with each bulding having about four colours or so on it and then you wand/fill them to colours of your choice....I'd have to play around a bit to remember it properly tho'
It's looking really good!
That is looking really SWEEEEET

- Voldemort: "Ah ha ha ha! Bravery! Your parents had it too. Tell me Harry, would you like to see your mother and father again? Together, we can bring them back. All I ask is for something in return. That's it Harry. There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it. Together we'll do extraordinary things. Just give me the Stone!"
- Harry: "You liar!"
- Voldemort: "Kill him!"
- — Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter[src]
The attack in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers was a battle that took place in early 1992, during Lord Voldemort's attempt to use Quirinus Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone. It was Voldemort's second attempt on Harry Potter's life.
During Harry Ron and Hermione's time in the chambers they battle through a set of obstacles that most eleven year olds would find near impossible. It is the beginning of them finding out that their lives are never going to be normal and that he-who-must-not-be-named will make sure no year ever runs smoothly.
Philosopher's Stone Chambers
There are seven chambers of the Philosopher's Stone:
- Fluffy (Rubeus Hagrid's Chamber)
- Devil's Snare (Pomona Sprout's Chamber)
- Winged Keys (Filius Flitwick's Chamber)
- Human Chess Game (Minerva McGonagall's Chamber)
- Mountain Troll (Quirinus Quirrell's Chamber)
- Potion Riddle (Severus Snape's Chamber)
- Mirror of Erised and the Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers (Albus Dumbledore's Chamber)
Fluffy was a giant three-headed dog, and Rubeus Hagrid's contribution to the protections put in place for the Philosopher's Stone. In 1992, Quirinus Quirrell enchanted a Harp to put Fluffy to sleep while he was searching for the Stone; when the music stopped, Fluffy awoke, and Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger had to play a Flute to put it back to sleep, before they were able to slip through the trap door Fluffy was guarding. Quirrell found out how to get past Fluffy earlier that year by enticing Hagrid into a card came, offering a dragon egg as the stake, and getting him drunk enough to disclose the secret of how to pacify the otherwise vicious dog. After the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, Hagrid released Fluffy into the Forbidden Forest.[1]
Fluffy may have been a play on Cerberus, the giant three-headed dog of Greek Mythology. It was a servant of Hades, and guarded the underworld.It was also put to sleep in the same way; Orpheus lulled Cerberus to sleep with his harp, just like Quirrell.
Devil's Snare
- Hermione: "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare...what did Professor Sprout say? - it likes the dark and damp -"
- Harry: "So light a fire!"
- Hermione: "Yes - of course - but there's no wood!"
- Ron: "HAVE YOU GONE MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?"
- Hermione: "Oh, right!"
- — Hermione, Harry, and Ron struggle with Devil's Snare[src]
The second obstacle within the Chambers was Pomona Sprout's Devil's Snare, placed seemingly to soften a deadfall through the trapdoor guarded by Fluffy. However, as the Devil's Snare is known for strangling its victims to death, and increasing its force of constriction at signs of struggle, Hermione Granger just barely managed to save Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and herself from death by strangulation, by attacking the plant with Bluebell flames.
Winged Keys
- Hermione: "These birds... they can't be here just for decoration."
- Harry: "They're not birds! They're keys! Winged keys."
- — Hermione Granger and Harry Potter when they entered the chamber of winged keys.[src]
The third of the Chambers contained several brooms and was filled with Winged Keys, provided by Professor Filius Flitwick, which, at a distance, appeared to be birds. There was a locked door at the end of the room which was impervious to the Alohomora spell, and could only be opened by identifying and catching the one key among the "flock" that would fit the door's lock. Hermione Granger cleverly deduced that the key that would open the locked door must be an old one, to match the old lock on the door. The only old key was readily identifiable, as Quirinus Quirrell had just used it and bent one of its wings. As soon as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione took off on brooms to catch the winged key, they rest of the keys scattered to make the correct one more difficult to identify again. Harry was, however, able to retrieve the necessary key, which was described as old-fashioned and silver, with bright blue wings, by employing his skills as a Seeker.
Human Chess Game
- Hermione: "What is it?"
- Harry: "He's [Ron] going to sacrifice himself!"
- — Ron Weasley's sacrifice[src]
The fourth obstacle was Minerva McGonagall's- a giant Wizard's Chess set. Ron took command of the game, with Harry, Hermione and himself replacing certain pieces (a Black bishop, rook and knight respectively), to defeat the opposing team and be allowed to pass. In the end, Ron sacrificed himself to allow Harry to capture the opposing King. At the End-of-Term Feast, following the events of the attack, Albus Dumbledore awarded Ron fifty House points for winning "the best played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years".
Mountain troll
- "I do say I have a gift with trolls."
- —Quirinus Quirrell[src]
When Harry and Hermione arrived at the obstacle set in place by Quirinus Quirrell - a troll - they realized it was already out cold. It was later discovered that Trolls were Quirrell's specialty, which he had also used to create a diversion during the 1991 Halloween feast, in his first attempt at retrieving the Philosopher's Stone.[2]
Potion riddle
- Hermione: "This isn't magic - it's logic - a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven't got an ounce of logic, they'd be stuck in here forever."
- Harry: "But so will we, won't we?"
- Hermione: "Of course not, everything we need is here on this paper. Seven bottles: three are poison; two are wine; one will get us safely through the black fire and one will get us back through the purple"
- — Hermione and Harry discussing the Logic Chamber[src]
Harry and Hermione next arrived at a Severus Snape's potions riddle. Hermione realized which potion would help them, but there was only a little bit left. So Harry drank it and Hermione drank another one which allowed her to leave the chamber safely. Harry went on alone.
The attack
- "Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?"
- —Quirrell reveals the truth.[src]
Harry, then arrived at the obstacle of Albus Dumbledore - the Mirror of Erised. Standing there was Quirinus Quirrell. Harry was shocked - he had expected Snape.
Quirrell explained that he tried to kill Harry, while Snape tried to save him. He said that he let the troll in on Halloween. He then tied up Harry and tried to figure out how to get the Stone. Voldemort told him to "Use the boy.... Quirrell summoned Harry to tell him what he saw in the Mirror. Harry lied and said it was himself winning the House Cup. An accomplished Legilimens, Voldemort wasn't fooled and told Quirrell to allow him to speak to Harry. Quirrell unravelled his turban to reveal the red-eyed and snake-like face of Tom Marvolo Riddle.
- Voldemort: "Harry Potter. We meet again..."
- Harry: "Voldemort!"
- Voldemort: "Yes. You see what I have become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another. A mere parasite. Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. Something that conveniently lies in your pocket. Stop him! Don't be a fool! Why suffer a horrific death when you can join me and live?"
- Harry: "Never!"
- Voldemort: "Ah ha ha ha! Bravery, your parents had it, too. Tell me, Harry, would you like to see your mother and father again? Together, we can bring them back. All I ask is for something in return. That's it, Harry. There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it. Together, we'll do extraordinary things. Just give me the Stone!"
- Harry: "You liar!"
- Voldemort: "Kill him!"
- — Lord Voldemort to Harry Potter.[src]
After Harry's refusal to join the Dark Lord, Voldemort ordered Quirrell to kill him, but because of Lily Evans' loving sacrifice ten years earlier, Quirrell couldn't touch him without experiencing debilitating levels of pain, and having his flesh burn. Dumbledore arrived moments later, and Voldemort left Quirrell's body and fled, abandoning his servant to die.
End of first year
- Dumbledore: "Harry, do you know why Professor Quirrell could not bear to have you touch him?...It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act lives a mark. No, no this kind of act cannot be seen, it lives in your very skin."
- Harry: "What is it?"
- Dumbledore: "Love, Harry. Love."
- — Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter[src]
Three days later, Harry woke up in the hospital wing to find Dumbledore standing before him. Dumbledore explained that the Stone had been destroyed and Nicolas Flamel would die. He, then, explained the reason Voldemort, and by extension Quirrell, couldn't touch him.
- "Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher, there was just the minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out of the back of his head."
- —Harry Potter to Dolores Umbridge[src]
Three years later, while explaining all he'd done to Ron and Hermione, Harry mentioned the Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers. He was later given detention by Dolores Umbridge for saying that Quirrell had been possessed by Voldemort. Then, at the Hog's Head, Neville Longbottom told everyone that Harry saved the Philosopher's Stone. Then, while trying to come to the Department of Mysteries, Ginny Weasley brought up the fact that she was three years older than they were when they first fought Voldemort.
- "Quirrell was mediocre..."
- —Severus Snape[src]
Four years after this battle, at Spinner's End, Bellatrix Lestrange maliciously reminded him that Snape himself had interfered in the events leading up to the Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers. Snape replied that Quirrell was "mediocre", and that he had stopped him simply because he was "unworthy".[4]

The woman allegedly involved in a hit-and-run that left a Denver high school student in critical condition is reportedly a teacher.
Sister KCNC reports that the suspect has been identified as 31-year-old Erin Jackson, who is a teacher at an Aurora charter school. Police believe Jackson is the one who drove through a red light at Colfax and Elizabeth Wednesday morning and hit East High School junior Dee Bridgeman, 16.
Police released video Wednesday night that shows the car never slowing down before hitting Dee. Dee remains at Denver Health Medical Center in a medically induced coma. She suffered a serious head injury in the crash.
Jackson's car was found a few blocks away from the scene.
Jackson turned herself in Thursday and made her first court appearance Friday. KCNC says she sobbed through most of the session and was visibly shaken.
Jackson's bond was set at $25,000.

The final vote to close the developmental wing of the Singer Clinic is in.
Although the developmental wing will close the mental health facility will remain open. The 150 patients in the closing wing will be relocated.
The state says it will pay for healthcare for those patients. About 51 employees are expected to be laid off and some will take early retirement and a few will be moved to a Dixon facility.
The state says this move will allow Singer to serve more patients in the mental health facility.

Our images of the week show the amazing snow art created by Simon Beck.
Snow art. Image © Simon Beck.
Beck creates those beautiful geometrical shapes by walking through the snow. The shape you see above is based on the Von Koch snowflake. To create the full shape, you start with an equilateral triangle and replace the middle third of each side by a "spike" consisting of two sides of a smaller equilateral triangle. Now do the same for each of the twelve straight-line segments of the resulting shape and repeat, ad infinitum. The Von Koch snowflake is an example of a fractal, a mathematical shape that is infinitely intricate and self-similar: it exhibits the same structures over and over again as you zoom in on smaller and smaller pieces. You can find out more about fractals here.
Beck can't produce the Von Koch snowflake exactly, of course, because it involves an infinite process. But he has created an amazingly good approximation, which comes from using the first few iterations of the process. He gets the shape down in the snow by counting steps to measure distances and using a compass when changing direction to make sure he gets the correct angles between straight-line segments. "In the case of the Koch shape, I found I was soon able to judge the 60 degree angles and do it quicker to an acceptable level of accuracy without using the compass," he says.
If you like the pictures, you can see more of them in Beck's new book, Snow Art, which you can purchase from his website. Here are a few more samples:

How important are experiments in science? Scientists use experiments to check whether a theory's predictions match up with reality, so without them you can't pick out bad theories.
In theoretical physics, however, there are many theories that cannot be tested. Not only because our experimental tools are nowhere near good enough, but also because there's some fundamental reason that stops us exploring some of the predictions those theories make. Examples are string theory, M theory and the various multiverse theories. Should we pursue them anyway, or dismiss them as speculation?
This debate, featuring one of our favourite theoretical physicists, David Tong (among others), explores this question and asks whether physics has strayed too far from experiment. It's been produced by the Institute of Art and Ideas in London.

Our good friend Julian Gilbey has just told us about an amazing fact: if you roll a parabola along a straight line then the shape its focus traces out as it goes is ... a catenary! That's the shape a chain makes when it hangs freely under gravity and also the shape that gives you the strongest arches (see here and here to learn more).
Just why the two curves are connected in this way is a mystery (at least to us) — you can do the maths to prove it, but there doesn't seem an intuitive reason.
Julian has also produced this beautiful applet to illustrate the result. It shows the graph of the parabola with equation
which has its focus at the point (Use the left-hand slider to change the value of ) You can roll the parabola along using the right-hand slider and see the catenary the focus traces out. Its equation is

Why do diamonds sparkle? Why is the shower the best place to sing? Where is the best place to stand to look at a statue? Where is the 4th dimension in Dali's paintings? Do you know the answers to these questions? Or perhaps, you didn't know you didn't know these interesting facts!
Never fear, John D. Barrow is here with all the answers to these and 96 other questions you didn't know you didn't know about maths and art. To celebrate the launch of his new book (his 22nd!) called 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know About Maths and the Arts he's giving a talk at 6pm on Thursday 13 November for Gresham College. As well as find out more about the interplay of maths and art, you can also enjoy a free drink with Barrow after the talk!

The tightrope walker Nik Wallenda's latest achievement is breath-taking. Without a safety net or harness Wallenda walked the gap between buildings on either side of the Chicago River before crossing between the two Marina City towers — blindfolded. His feat was televised, but with a ten second delay, in case he fell. Thankfully he didn't! You can see part of his walk in the movie on the right, but don't look if you're faint-hearted.
Like any tightrope walker, Wallenda carried a long pole to aid his balance. But why? What's the physics behind it? We rummaged in the Plus archive and found that a few years ago mathematician John D. Barrow had already come up with an answer. The key idea is something called the moment of inertia, which measures an object's resistance to being spun around an axis. The long pole increases the tightrope walker's moment of inertia by placing mass far away from the body's centre line (moment of inertia has units of mass times the square of distance).
As a result, any small wobbles about the equilibrium position happen more slowly. They have a longer time period of oscillation (the period of small oscillations about a stable equilibrium increases as the square root of the moment of inertia) and the walker has more time to respond and restore the equilibrium.
To convince yourself that this really works, you don't need to do a blindfolded tightrope walk 150m above the ground. Simply compare how easy it is to balance a one metre ruler on your finger compared with a ten centimetre ruler.
You can read more about the moment of inertia, as applied to space crafts and boomerangs, in these Plus articles.

Duck Sports Authority
As the game of the year in the PAC-10 approaches, so does the time for the Oregon program to host some of the top recruits in the nation. Among the official visitors this weekend will include one committed player, one who has previously claimed that Oregon will be his school, a couple big time defensive prospects and a couple of the nation's top offensive recruits from the south. This weekend has been built up on so many levels and now it's here, so Duck Sports Authority brings you an update on each of these visitors.Committed Player: Chris McCain -6-foot-7, 220-pound LB/DE from Greensboro, NC; McCain, along with teammate James Scales, verbally committed to the Duck program earlier this season and now McCain is headed back to Eugene for his official visit. Chris will be taking in the type of game that he hopes to be a part of many times in his career. After playing last season at North Guiliford High School along with Scales, the two of them have since transferred to Central Carolina Sports Academy in order to finish their academic requirements. Scales plans to graduate early while McCain is looking like a gray-shirt candidate who may in fact become part of the class of 2011.McCain is a long and rangy player who is surprisingly quick and nimble for a player of his size. In all likelihood, Chris will eventually wind up in the hybrid spot that Kenny Rowe has made a huge part of this Oregon defense. McCain, along with Scales, fellow visitor Gabe King and another recruit, Keenan Allen, all visited unofficially this summer with one of their high school coaches for the Oregon Football Camp. The group came away more than impressed and that was eventually enough to secure commitments from McCain and Scales. According to Chris, this weekend is, "Another chance to tell me I made the right choice. It is going to be a good time for sure."Uncommitted Players: This group is full of star power and reaches across the southwest as Trovon Reed and Lache Seastrunk will make their way from Louisiana and Texas respectively. Erick Dargan will be making his 3rd PAC-10 official visit so far this year. Dontae Williams, the four-star running back from Houston, TX will also be making his long awaited official visit. Gabe King, another of the group of players from North Carolina, is now a member of the South Eugene community and will be making it to his 3rd Duck game of the season.Trovon Reed: Reed is an explosive player who has long had the Ducks on his radar and even named them as part of his "top 4" a few months back. Then the confusion came as he told numerous media outlets that he was down to Auburn and the home state LSU Tigers and that he "needed to be real with the other schools." Now, he is on his way to Eugene for an official visit and that just goes to show you that the staff does not give up on the players they really want and getting a recruit on campus is a huge step, especially for a cross country visit.Reed is the type of player that can make plays all over the field and the type of player the Ducks need at the wide receiver position. He and Lache Seastrunk are extremely close and have long been thought to want to play their college ball together. To have both of them out here for such a big game is about as good as it gets. The stadium will be on fire and there will be some commits on hand to help answer any questions about the Ducks and their program. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Additional Information
First Editions® Wildfire™ Winterberry and Southern Gentleman Winterberry
- Dramatic, berry-laden branches brighten the winter landscape and are ideal for cutting for seasonal displays
- Berries also provide food for winter birds
- Wildfire is a female variety with brilliant red berries; requires a male plant to produce berries
- Southern Gentleman Winterberry is a (non-berry-producing) male required for pollination
Winterberries offer spectacular color in the winter garden, their brilliant red fruits adorning stems long after foliage has dropped. This deciduous holly is hardier than its evergreen cousins, and the abundant berries are even more striking on the bare branches. Cut some berry-covered branches to use as winter decorations; leave some on the plants to attract berry-eating birds. Winterberries produce separate male and female plants. Wildfire is a female plant; to produce berries it needs a compatible male plant nearby. We recommend Southern Gentleman (handsome foliage, non-berry-producing) for pollination. A good guideline is to plant at least one male plant for every six female plants nearby. Shipped bareroot.Advantages of bareroot plants:
- Healthier plants with less root circling than container plants
- Shipped while dormant, so there's less shock during shipping
- Shrubs are planted in early spring, so roots can settle in and begin growing before plant leafs out
- Shrubs acclimate quickly to the garden and start growing faster than container-grown plants
- Winterberries usually begin producing abundant berries about three years after planting
- 18" to 24" tall bareroot plant
- Wildfire winterberry (female, produces berries): Ilex verticillata 'Bailfire'
- Wildfire's mature size is 8' wide and 6' to 7' high
- Southern Gentleman winterberry (male, no berries): Ilex verticillata 'Southern Gentleman'
- Southern Gentleman's mature size is 6' to 10' wide and 8' to 10' high (may be pruned after flowering to maintain a smaller size)
- Hardy in zones 4-9
- Full sun
- Grows well in most soils, including soils that remain moist to wet
- Shipping by growing zone begins in early April and continues through June

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes
All stories about Indonesia
Indonesia: Chocolate starts out tasting like vanilla yoghurt — who knew?
Whenever I travel, I'm always sure to pack an emergency supply of chocolate. But until yesterday, when I saw cacao trees for the first time and talked to cacao famers in Indonesia about the help they are getting from Mercy Corps, I'd never really thought about where it comes from.
Indonesia: Water, water everywhere… and every drop to drink?
As I write this, my shoes are hanging up to dry, dripping onto the ceramic floor of my hotel bathroom. In more ways than one this — my first day in Ambon, capital city of Indonesia's Maluku Islands — has been thoroughly water-soaked.
Indonesia: Thinking out of the box on World Food Day
Over the weekend, children in the Yayasan Darma Indonesia orphanage were cheered up by the visit of Global Citizen Corps (GCC) leaders and volunteers.
Indonesia: Mercy Corps billboards are stopping traffic
"You've got to see this," said Erynn Carter —who heads up Mercy Corps' projects in West Sumatra — yesterday when I arrived in Padang. "Our new disaster billboards went up last night, and there was a huge traffic jam this morning at rush hour because so many people stopped to look at them!"
Indonesia: Normally I don't like children. But today I had no choice!
As most of my colleagues will tell you, generally I'm not keen on kids. But today, celebrating Global Handwashing Day with more than 1,500 mothers and children in West Jakarta, I had to get over that pretty quickly.
Indonesia: Working in all levels for better disaster risk reduction initiatives
This Wednesday — October 13 — is International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction. It's a day to focus on disaster preparedness and resilience.
Indonesia: From gloom to loom
Indonesia: Recognition for our programs in West Sumatra
Indonesia: One year after the earthquake, a measure of relief
Today, September 30 here in West Sumatra, Indonesia, brings remembrance of the earthquake a year ago that killed more than 1,000 people and affected the livelihoods of an estimated 1.25 million more.
Indonesia: Smiles from Padang's orphans
September 8, 2010 was the last day of working in Mercy Corps West Sumatra before the office closed for the Eid al Fitri, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadhan. I joined the Urban Team in distributing supplies to the orphanages in and around the city of Padang.
