Each May, the United States celebrates Older Americans Month to recognize older Americans for their contributions and provide them with information to help them stay healthy and active.
When Older Americans Month was established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays. About a third of older Americans lived in poverty; few programs existed to meet their needs. In April of 1963, President John F. Kennedy's meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens culminated in designating May as "Senior Citizens Month," which in 1980 was renamed by President Carter as "Older Americans Month."
In 2014, the focus of Older Americans Months is on injury prevention with the theme Safe Today. Healthy Tomorrow.
Older adults are at a much higher risk of unintentional injury and even death than the rest of the population. Unintentional injuries to this population result in at least 6 million medically treated injuries and more than 30,000 deaths every year.
With a focus on safety during Older Americans Month, the U.S. Administration for Community Living is offering some safety tips to older adults in order to raise awareness of this issue.
Safety Tips
1. Talk to your healthcare provider.
Discuss physical activities that are appropriate for you. Have your vision checked regularly. If you are on Medicare – and most older Americans are – Medicare pays for an Annual Wellness Visit.
If you have had Medicare Part B for longer than 12 months, you can get this visit to develop or update a personalized prevention help plan to prevent disease and disability based on your current health and risk factors. Your healthcare provider will ask you to fill out a questionnaire, called a "Health Risk Assessment," as part of this visit. Answering these questions can help you and your provider develop a personalized prevention plan to help you stay healthy and get the most out of your visit.
2. Manage your medications.
Drug therapy problems occur everyday. The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative reports that drug-related morbidity and mortality costs exceed $200 billion annually – more than the costs of the drugs themselves. Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic illnesses see an average of 13 physicians and have 50 different prescriptions filled annually.
U.S. Administration for Community Living recommends that seniors educate themselves on how medications interact and affect their ability to walk or operate a motor vehicle. People should use a scheduler box. Pharmacists can give tips on how to set up a box and the proper use of prescription drugs.
3. Prevent falls.
Handrails, grab bars, lighting, footwear, walking aids, flooring all affect the risk of falls, injuries from falls.
For eligible veterans, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Home and Community Based Services programs provide health care services and assistance with activities of daily living in their homes.
One of the goals of the VA's Home Based Primary Care program is "assist in the transition from a health care facility to the home by providing patient and caregiver education, guiding rehabilitation and use of adaptive equipment in the home, adapting the home as needed for a safe and therapeutic environment, and arranging and coordinating supportive services, including home telehealth, as appropriate."
4. Drive wisely.
The U.S. Administration for Community Living recommends that older Americans plan their routes before driving, eliminate distractions inside the vehicle, and know when they need to limit or stop driving.
Every President since JFK has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs, and other such activities.

Things to Know Before Hiring an SEO Company
Things to Know Before Hiring an SEO CompanyDecember 3, 2014 No Comments on Things to Know Before Hiring an SEO Company
If u planning to start a new website or business, then you are sure to be thinking in terms of generating traffic to it. But without the in-depth knowledge or desired expertise, this task is sure to be an uphill climb. That is why hiring somebody to optimize your website is a great idea. Using the services of an offshore search engine optimization or SEO company will deliver the results and the impact that you are looking for. Let us know the things before hiring an SEO company.
Search Engine Optimization:
Search engine optimization, popularly referred to as SEO, is essentially a marketing tool to generate traffic to your website through organic search engine results. Generating a steady and continuous flow of hi-quality traffic may result in increased business and increased profits for your business. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.
Local SEO vs Outsource SEO:
A few stats that put things in the right perspective. A study conducted by the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization found that experience in search engine marketing carries a high price tag. If you were to hire someone in the US or Canada with more than five years of experience in search engine optimization, you should expect to spend between $100,000 and $200,000 per year, while somebody with lesser experience would come with a price tag of $60,000 to $1,00,000 per year. It should also be noted that these figures do not include the additional costs associated with hiring – training, benefits, and the like. Therefore, if someone made you believe that search engine optimization is something easy that could be done by an employee with limited, or worse still, no experience, better think again.

- LATEST NEWS.......... 2018 BTCC – Brands Hatch GP Rounds 28/29/30
Blog 8 – Knockhill17/09/12
I had travelled to the circuit on Wednesday in order to test during the afternoon. All the Porsche teams were there as this is a circuit where nobody tests at and for most of the drivers including myself, it was exactly a year since we'd been here last.
We showed strong pace throughout Friday's test sessions as the weather remained dry for the duration. I was happy with the balance of the car in race trim, although there were a few tenths to find for qualifying to catch Meadows and Barker who headed the times. This circuit is a place where you have to attack and often drive the car beyond the limit. Personally as a smoother driver, I find it difficult to drive with the car dancing around and flying over kerbs but this is Knockhill and you just have to accept it and get on with it best you can.
For qualifying I didn't get the best out of the first set of new tyres initially but managed to go third by the end of my first run. As I pitted, the heavens opened as they had been threatening to do so, meaning nobody would improve. I was very relieved with my time as I had to dig deep when I thought I had blown the chance by taking too long when the tyres were at their best. In the end however, third for both races was great, right behind championship leader Meadows and I had even saved a set of slick tyres.
Sunday's Round 13 was once more dry. I made an average start allowing teammate Daniel Lloyd to get alongside me into Turn One but I held him off to tuck in behind Meadows. It quickly became clear that I didn't quite have the pace to stay with the leaders as they edged away. On Lap three I then made an error at the final hairpin and blew all chance of a win. With the leaders over two seconds ahead, I had a lonely race from then on. Jonas Gelzinis kept me honest for the next 15 laps until the safety car was deployed handing me a lifeline. Following a short spell behind the Safety Car, the race restarted and I was tucked up right behind Meadows. However immediately there was carnage in the midfield and crashed cars everywhere. The race was red flagged and declared a result, giving me a podium.
For Round 14, I now had my unused slicks from qualifying which I hoped would give me the extra pace needed to race with the leaders. As the lights went out pole-man Barker made a poor start and Meadows immediately went to the outside with me tucked underneath Barker. As we arrived at turn one, Meadows abandoned his overtaking attempt and cut back underneath Barker making contact with me. Meadows was sent spinning as I kept on the track. It immediately became clear that my car was damaged and sure enough, the radiator had broken ending my race on the spot. It was very frustrating as Meadows managed to recover and extend his championship lead.
All in all, it was a mixed weekend. I was very happy with the pace we showed on a track that I haven't typically gone well at and a podium in the first race was also valuable championship points. Unfortunately the second race ended prematurely but risks have to be taken if Meadows is going to be caught. It didn't work out this weekend but I won't stop trying until the final round.

Aukia Menswear – A pioneer in men's fashion
A completely new kind of clothes shop for men has arrived in Helsinki. Aukia Menswear, founded in 1956, is the answer to the cries for help from all the men lost in the department store jungle.
The selection in this shop, located on the 4th floor of Kamppi shopping center, is much larger than that of a small boutique – more like a department store, but on a more compact and interesting scale. We also offer the guidance and fashion tips of our friendly and skilled staff.
Aukia Menswear also includes two specialist shops: the Japanese-influenced British brand Superdry, and the fashion and outdoor brand Peak Performance from Åre in Sweden. Both specialist shops have a direct entrance to the Aukia shop, and they also offer womenswear from both collections.

Movers and Shakers: Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of LACMA – SOLD OUT
LACMA's Transformation and the Future of Art Museums in Urban Areas
Please join ULI at our next Mover and Shaker event, presenting Michael Govan, the Chief Executive Officer and Wallis Annenberg Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Mr. Govan has served as CEO and Director at LACMA for a decade now. He has already had significant impacts inside and across the Museum during his tenure – adding over 27,000 works to the Museum's collection — and now he is at the forefront of the effort to transform the Museum's physical presence itself on Wilshire Boulevard. From his vantage point, he is uniquely positioned to consider the critical role that art museums play in fostering urban vitality. It is that broader community impact that museums like LACMA have in cities across our country and the world that Mr. Govan would like to discuss with ULI and its guests. Mr. Govan will discuss LACMA's proposed transformation as a model for his remarks about urban planning issues. These matters go to the heart of the Urban Land Institute's mission to foster dialogues about the fabric of our cityscapes. As always at a Mover and Shaker event, after Mr. Govan shares his remarks, we will open the floor to your questions.
Michael Govan has spent his professional career immersed in art and art museums, of both the urban and destination styles. He studied Art History at Williams College in rural western Massachusetts, where he participated in the founding of the nearby MASS Moca. Mr. Govan then went to the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, serving as Deputy Director at the Guggenheim, and working at that Museum's branches in Venice and Bilbao as well. Mr. Govan then led the creation of another destination museum, Dia:Beacon, about 90 minutes outside New York City. He came to LACMA in 2006.
LACMA will be hosting this ULI Mover and Shaker event in the Board Room at LACMA's offices. Seating in this facility is quite limited, and so this event is expected to sell out early – we urge to register at your earliest convenience. Parking information will be provided to those guests registered for this event.

A motorist never knows when he or she will be involved in an accident while driving on North Carolina roads. Even when a driver takes all precautions and carefully adheres to traffic regulations, another motorist's negligence can result in a collision. When a person suffers an injury or loses a loved one because of a negligent driver, he or she may experience frustration in addition to grief. When a drunk driving accident is determined to have caused an injury or death, it only makes matters worse.
Finding legal help after a North Carolina drunk driving accident
Witness shocked at North Carolina fatal accident wreckage
A woman taking a morning stroll along a North Carolina road never expected to witness a tragedy that day. She said she's never before witnessed anything so devastating in all her life. The wreckage she saw was debris from a fatal accident that involved two vehicles.
North Carolina hit-and-run devastates community
Parents typically teach their older children to look after their younger siblings. It appears one boy took such teaching to heart when he recently performed a heroic deed at a school bus stop to save his little sister from harm's way. What happened next has left the North Carolina community reeling with grief. What began as a usual morning at a school bus stop turned into a tragic hit-and-run accident that resulted in the loss of one brave life.
North Carolina crash might have been caused by negligent driver
Whether one is traveling alone or with a car full of passengers, the person behind the wheel is expected to operate his or her vehicle in as safe a manner as possible. A negligent driver can cause an accident, which can be tragic if someone is injured or killed. Such was the case in a recent incident in North Carolina when a single vehicle crash left others mourning in its wake.

Update: We just posted this and then saw the Need For Speed account has also just teased a name reveal for later this week. Cheers, everyone.
The official Need For Speed Twitter account yesterday posted 'Let's get this party started shall we?' along with an image of a skyline obscured by cloud. Prevailing opinion is that this is a teaser for the location of the next Need for Speed game, and that it is of Seattle.
People think it's Seattle because one of the things you can clearly make out on the right is a tower, and everyone knows about the Space Needle in Seattle, if only because Frasier is endlessly repeated on Channel 4. Here's a desaturated version of the image helpfully posted by another user.
As you can see, they're of the opinion that the setting is Las Vegas, because if you ignore the tower red herring you'll see the rest of the skyline closely matches the ridiculous silhouette that is the collection of Vegas hotels. Vegas also has an observation tower.
We agree with this assessment. Next Need for Speed set in Las Vegas: confirmed. Kind of. A fictional version of it, at least.

A member of Landmark Wholesale, Country Fare, went above and beyond for its clients despite adverse weather conditions last week.
Staff at the foodservice company, which delivers local produce to a wide variety of clients including hospitals, schools and nursing homes, braved last week's snowy conditions to distribute more than two tonnes of deliveries to customers most in need.
Tim Whyatt, marketing manager at Country Fare, explained how the team pulled together to make sure its high-priority customers weren't left out in the cold: "Customer service is our top priority at Country Fare. We knew that some of our clients might not be able to feed their customers if we couldn't deliver their goods so we worked closely with Dorset Police to assess road conditions and identify those customers most in need and hospitals, nursing homes, boarding schools and hotels were put to the top of the list.
"While we were keen to maintain the high-quality service our customers know to expect, we were also conscious of the safety of our team so our most experienced drivers volunteered to brave the snow in 4×4 vehicles, with a small team staying behind at the office to ensure our clients were kept up to date with progress with hourly updates. As a result, our high-priority customers all received their deliveries. It was a real team effort, with everyone demonstrating the can-do attitude that Country Fare prides itself on. One of our directors even got up at 2am to make bacon sandwiches to keep everyone going."
One client had more than 200 hotel guests at the Queens Hotel in Bournemouth to feed with limited stock, but was saved when Country Fare director Gavin Millward arrived safe and sound with their delivery. A chef at the hotel commented: "I can't thank Country Fare enough for managing to deliver our goods in the awful weather. They saved me – I'll never forget how they managed to do in that terrible weather!"
Ian Berry, head chef at Castledean Residential Home, commented: "Country Fare really helped me on the day of the snow fall. Gavin, the owner, personally drove my order to me to ensure residents weren't without fresh produce. What a good service and really appreciated the delivery. Thank you!"
John Mills, managing director at Landmark Wholesale, commented: "We're delighted by how Country Fare went the extra mile to deliver fantastic customer service to those most in need despite the inclement weather conditions. This commitment to their customers typifies our membership and their dedication to delivering exceptional customer service."

UC Blue Ash College Accreditation
UC Blue Ash College has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) since 1969. In 2019, UC Blue Ash College will undergo its reaffirmation of accreditation, a process that happens every ten years.
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is the process whereby an outside organization certifies a college or university as meeting certain requirements of excellence. Accreditation is an important "stamp of approval," accredited colleges and universities prove to their peers that they are deeply committed to educational quality and improvement. The designation serves as public recognition that an institution has met accepted standards of academic quality.
What is the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)?
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an independent corporation that was founded in 1895 as one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States. HLC accredits degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region, which includes 19 states. The mission of the Higher Learning Commission is to "serve the common good by assuring and advancing the quality of higher learning."
What is the Process for Accreditation?
UC Blue Ash College's review will be carried out through the HLC Open Pathway process. This upcoming visit will serve as the reaccreditation and is conducted on a ten-year cycle. This process includes writing an Assurance Argument, demonstrating Federal Compliance, and hosting a site visit by a team of reviewers comprised of faculty and staff from other universities with similar missions. As part of the Assurance Review, the institution submits an Assurance Argument - along with materials of evidence - explaining how the institution complies with each Criterion and Core Component. The peer review team also uses the Assurance System to conduct its review of the materials.
UC Blue Ash College's HLC site visit is scheduled for February 25 and 26, 2019. More details will be sent to faculty and staff in the coming months.
There are many good reasons to attend an accredited institution.
- Quality Education: accredited colleges and universities deliver high-quality educational programs.
- Financial Aid: accredited schools receive student financial aid dollars.
- Transfer: most schools will only accept transfer credits from an accredited school.
- Graduate School: most graduate programs will only accept students with degrees from accredited schools.

"What is it?"
"Here, I'll read it to you. 'I always believed, never wavering, from a young boy on, that when you die you learn everything about everyone - everything they've done, everything they've thought. One giant revelation. I always tried to live up to this belief, to live in such a way that I could stand up to it when everyone learned everything about me.'"

"Did you know he believed in an afterlife? I thought he was an atheist."
"There are atheists that have beliefs about an afterlife."

"I think your father lived up to it to an exceptional degree."

"Sure, but how many had the degree of faith my father must have had?"
"Probably not many."

Permaculture in Mecca
Geoff Lawton reports from a consultation trip to what will become the Al Bayda Project, Saudi Arabia
The Al Bayda Project in Saudi Arabia aims to help rehabilitate a large area of land, roughly 35 x 20kms (700km2 in total) containing 9 villages of Bedouin people who have been settled for 20-30 years in very basic conditions. The main mission is to develop a sustainable design demonstration system for how they can develop their villages and manage their environment and quite large herds of animals. Traditionally they would move with seasonal conditions around good grazing range-land patterns of management. Now, in settled villages, they don't have the possibility to manage good range-land grazing with the appropriate patterning, and so the environment is greatly suffering from over-grazing and cutting of trees for firewood. As this grazing is their cultural heritage, they are not prepared to let it go and yet they don't exactly fit into modern systems of settlement either.
People drive far to collect firewood – and goats range far to eat up any
new saplings that might be trying to establish themselves
The Islamic world is very familiar with this area as it is in the region (and governance) of Mecca, where people of the Muslim faith the world over direct their prayers to 5 times a day. This project could provide a significant example of large dry-land area management and rural village sustainable design principles and is of the utmost importance because it could have one of the largest influences imaginable throughout the Muslim world, which makes up approximately 23% of the total worldwide population.
Some of the work that we've already initiated is choosing an area to set up as a demonstration site of land use using such techniques as gabions, swales and limonia to harvest the small amount of rainfall that they have, which is only about 80-90mm/year. There are only one or two large run-off events per year, sometimes none, but there is quite high ground water in the area at 20-60m, which can be sustainably pumped, as long as there is a good management of water harvesting techniques across the broad area to recharge the aquifers. A major example of this type of landscape regeneration through the use of forest systems is the Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) practiced by Tony Rinaudo of World Vision who has been working in Niger for the past 20 years. This is a successful system that we've posted on our website twice now. Tony is a student of permaculture and is now supplying us with all of his information as he extends this system across the world.
We'll also be showing in demonstration some sustainable building techniques for more appropriate energy conservation, as well as stand-alone solar systems using the latest technology of copper, indium, selenium panels with no-maintenance gel batteries. We will include solar energy pumping techniques and state-of-the-art solar hot water techniques, grey water recycling and dry composting toilets, as well as home gardening methods for improved health via the diversity of locally grown products. Fruit, vegetables, herbs and firewood will all be demonstrated as possibilities for local people to engage in.
The main stocks of animals that people keep are goats, sheep and camels, kept for their meat and milk, and we'll be working with the Al-Faisal University in Saudi Arabia on research to demonstrate how we can improve breed diversity through genetics towards better milk production. We hope to be able to develop cheese and dairy production as a local economy for people to engage in. Initially, we have performed a census to learn the number of animals in the area and will be funding the local people to pen up their animals, supply them with feed, and employ some of them whilst we demonstrate how we can repair the landscape by employing people to use the FMNR system, which we could also call Bedouin Natural Rangeland Regeneration (BNRR) to give them a sense of ownership of this process. The outcome of this will be to get back into appropriate patterns of grazing in relation to their settlement and increased productivity towards value-added products of milk, yogurt, cheeses, and meat.
The census that we performed also included all people, houses and land use and we're now in a secondary stage of starting the earthworks to enhance the systems in place, having secured an area of land that will now be fenced so that the site will have no accidental mismanagement from grazing flocks that may not yet be penned. This demonstration site will also act as a permaculture education centre for local people and also visitors of the area, particularly visitors to Mecca, which is only a very short distance away and hosts the largest gathering of people on earth each year on a pilgrimage that all muslims pledge to take at least once in a lifetime.
We expect to be able to really raise the profile of permaculture project work throughout the Islamic world with this project. With it comes a huge potential for uptake and replication.
There are more pictures of the kind of terrain we're dealing with below.

20 thoughts on "Permaculture in Mecca"
I'm so happy to see something good is finally coming from our western civilization to the Muslim world, after we have infected their culture for decades with the modernistic virus: https://www.planetizen.com/node/63
I hereby encourage all Muslim nations to abandon modernism and go back to their cultural heritage: https://www.amazon.com/Foreshadowing-21st-Century-Art-Environmental/dp/0195208668
For those wondering, the first picture is looking out from the top of one of the wadis on the demonstration site, the third picture is looking at the demo site from across the road, and the 4th is right before the wadi opens out onto that little plain.
This is very encouraging. It will work!
Wow, this does sound like a big deal. Good luck!
Wow! What a huge challenge and amazing undertaking! I'm sure we all want to follow the progress as this project evolves over time. Fantastic work Geoff and friends.
keep on the good work Neal!
It would seem to me the main challenge in the region is not nature but people. Nature is trying to heal the landscape and would succeed, were it not prevented from doing so. This project will have to deal with Bedouin culture first and foremost, which means working with those 9 villages and getting good cooperation. Succeed there, and the rest will fall into place very easily. That no one has previously succeeded in this regard should be a cause for caution.
Hopefully when the Bedouins see a fenced off plot under the expert care of knowledgeable agriculturalists bloom with trees and food after a few years they will take serious notice.
good work geoff and we like to give some help if u need and i hop to do the same in palestine too .so good luck and keep going .
I hope that the Saudi Arabian government can be encouraged and educated to understand that settling people who live nomadic existences that need to allow their livestocks to roam in order not to degrade the desert environment further, is vital for the sustainabality and future of the region, and should be clearly understood for the sustainable future development of the Kingdom.
I hope that this issue will be clearly understood elsewhere throughout desert regions of the Middle East, that being 'modern' does not necessarily give all the answers, when Western models from temperate rain rich climates are applied in areas that are not so water rich.
"I believe that the 9/11 event raises disturbing questions about the failed responsibilities of those professions. Two reasons are: (i) a prominent modernist architectural symbol (the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center) was specifically targeted to be attacked and destroyed; (ii) the leading terrorists (Mohamed Atta and Osama bin Laden) had an architecture/urbanist/construction background. Writing with Michael Mehaffy, I earlier proposed that the third world — and the Islamic world in particular — feels a rage towards the United States, at least in part due to the modernist architectural and urban models we have introduced to those countries, which have destroyed their traditional built heritage. Atta was a professional planner who was said to be outraged over the desecration of traditional Islamic cities by modernist architecture and planning [1, 2]. Of course, Atta was a criminal, but how many ordinary people in traditional cities of the third world share those feelings?"
See: https://www.planetizen.com/node/63
I think it's time we westerners start to realize what a destruction we have brought upon the world through modernism and industrial agriculture. That we have got fundamentalist Islam in return is not the slightest strange. I think the only way now to heal the wounds we have created in the Islamic world, to make us join forces for a sustainable future, goes through permaculture. I hope permaculture can help to reestablish traditional Islamic architecture, villages and towns, to ancient beauty.
If any in the Arab world read this, I'll strongly encourage studying the works of Christopher Alexander and Nikos A. Salingaros. The work of these two giants is mostly helpful to learn returning to your lost architecture and towns.
Great work guys! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see how this projects develops over time as it really kicks off. It's business time.
Good luck to you, Neal, and everyone involved. Looking forward to hearing about & perhaps even seeing your results. You've got the training, skill and sincerity to get this going. I for one won't be surprised if the outcome far eclipses your expectation.
Very impressive and inspiring!
I can't wait for more news.
Hi Geoff,
I hope you still remember some of our earlier communication.
May I first applaud the intent of this project. This rejuvenation, I believe, should transcend beyond the physical nature of its implementation. There lies an opportunity to harness greater understanding of human predicament over the centuries, one of stewardship of all things on earth.
Recent developments in Makkah (Mecca) was confined to the efficiency of logistics and accommodation for the hajj (pilgrimage) purpose. What's missing is the environmental solutions to balance the immense pressure caused by human activities, excessive activities based on our modern requirements, in performing Hajj. as well as the off seasons. To have 4 million people in a small place within certain period requires immense management of time, resources and furthermore, human faith.
On another note, I was recently introduced to an interesting documentary, called The Blessed tree https://vimeo.com/14770191 which highlighted the special roles of our natural environment in providing shelters to human activities, in every sense of the word. Perhaps such concept can be rejuvenated in the regions.
My best wishes to you and the team at the Institute for the demo project.
BTW, may I expound that Muslims around the world collectively pray towards Makkah (Mecca) not exactly 5 times a day, but every moment of the day, in turn. But perhaps you already know these.
"Prince Charles has written the Preface to this book, declaring Salingaros to be "an intriguing, perhaps historically important, new thinker". Prince Charles' detractors may be surprised to find that this book is not at all about Classical architecture. Like Prince Charles, Salingaros is a great admirer of Islamic architecture, and the design theory he presents is claimed to be equally valid for Classical, Islamic, or any other vernacular or traditional architecture. [4] Salingaros' book presents a very different view of architecture and design from the teaching texts used for courses in architecture schools during the past several decades. He criticizes present-day architectural education for continuing to rely uncritically on models that he argues lead automatically to non-adaptivity and unsustainability. If one can get beyond the natural reaction to such criticisms, then designers will find much useful material for a new approach to architectural education."
with all thats going on at the moment in arabic countries…we should start sharing the knolege and hellping people feed them selfs more efficiently and organikly with diversity as fast as possible …..yeah gentlemen well done…..
This seems very promising. Any chance of visiting the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho? The conditions are quite harsh, and the land overgrazed with a lot of nutrients leached out by the heavy rainfall.
Keyhole gardens, though encouraging does not cut it for feeding large families sustainably. HM King Letsie III would be most receptive and supportive.
Any chance of a visit, Geoff?
Aloha sweetest community,
Geoff — We met in Feb 2005 in the NZ EcoShow parking lot, when I was so excited to meet you, I walked up to you and your Beloved and introduced myself after you spoke on the Permaculture panel and I asked: How does Permaculture Design inform peace on earth?
Here, I have my living, growing, thriving, beautiful answer. So well done!!!
This is my dream-come-true and why I became certified in 2003. Please send me any contacts for organizations n Egypt and Israel and Beirut where I can offer to work sharing KLARITY Permaculture Design & Earth Art & Architecture Introduction workshops, children & adult trainings and Hands-On designing and building workshops, as well as Living Blessings Core Regeneration and Illumination workshop facilitation.
I like to close the loop on the Zones and introduce Zones 0-8 — Zero being the body, so healing addiction, alcoholism, etc, embracing Body Ecology Diet & lifestyle for optimal inner ecology, and Zones 6 being Community/Family outside Zone 5, Zone 7 being our Global Family, and Zone 8 being the INFINITY of Allah/The One God, and how Love expresses through each life, bringing it back to Zone Zero…..ta da.
I am so grateful I could pass out the link to "Greening the Desert" video these past 7 years when teaching, especially last Wednesday, when 35 people came to the Makawao library on Maui, in Hawaii, and the question was asked by my Scottish cousin: Is it too late or is there any hope in bringing life to deserts? Life is Love.

I have been reading up on the Al Baydha project, and am very impressed with the great efforts of Mr. Neal Spackman. I understand that the first priority lies in getting the water management systems right. Overgrazing is of course one of the problems and perhaps causes of problems in this area. Have you ever thought about joining forces with Allan Savory, once erosion has stopped and plant life has begun growing? It seems the most logical next step for a herding community, though perhaps a bit of a step too far at the moment?
When I saw Bill Mollison's videos of Global Gardener, I was struck by how African people love to work together, singing as they work. Neal writes how the community factor in Al Baydha has been a struggle, because of lack of this culture of co-operation. Even more something he deserves my respect with.
Intrigued with the idea of greening deserts, and firmly believing now that it is doable, I have been reading up on it. One finds all kinds of (sometimes silly) technological solutions, but I believe you have shown the way: it can be done, (if we would just stop spending money on wars, for heaven's sake!) with low-tech efforts coupled with a huge amount of knowledge and insight. Thanks to you Geoff, to Bill Mollison and all of you pioneers, for shaping our future. Wish it could go a lot faster!

I am sure it will be difficult to find an educated person who doesn't know about Taj. When I say taj I don't need to say it is the Tajmahal by the Mogul emperor back in the days. But there is more taj than the taj of Agra. We are talking about the taj of Brick Lane.
It is surprising to see the assortment of collection in one store. Taj is one of the bigger departmental stores in London. Often the collection of Bangladeshi products will dwarf that of a large shop in Dhaka or anywhere in Bangladesh.
Some snaps of Taj were taken earlier this year in Brick lane.
I'm sorry, forgot to take photo of the front and so

I can't help but find it shocking that a high school went so far as to actually cancel prom because 2 girls decided to attend together. Whether they were openly a couple or not, the fact that 2 girls were such a threat to the hetero hegemony leaves me speechless.
In this day and age it never ceases to amaze me that this continues to exist. And as I was thinking about it, I realized, holy crap… I went to prom with another girl and it never even occurred to me at the time it would be an issue.
Me and my lovely prom date, who was one of my closest friends at the time.
Perhaps it was because we weren't a lesbian couple (or at least not an openly lesbian couple… cause for all anyone knew, we could have been), but no one ever batted an eye over the fact that I was going to prom with another woman. In fact, I wasn't alone in taking another girl to prom with me.
I guess the thing that continually gets me is this: I don't expect everyone to share the same opinions and beliefs, and I don't expect everyone to agree on what is right and wrong… but I do expect people to respect other's rights to choose for themselves. Cause I mean really… we live in a global world full of different values and ideas, ways of living and standards of behaviour, and to insist that we all walk down the same narrow line is preposterous.
So if some girl wants to take her girlfriend to prom with her, let her. You don't have to agree with it. Hell you don't even have to like it. But you have to like the fact that you live in a country that allows her the choice to do so and respect that the same laws that give you the right to live your life the way you want, dictate her choices too. And living in North America, we are luckier than most because we have liberties that are unimaginable in other countries. So embrace them and let the damn girl take her girlfriend to prom already!

Adidas Superstar 86 Uprock Sneaker Grooms Cake
Our bride told us her husband to be was fan of all things sneakers and wanted a Grooms cake to reflect that! Apparently his favorite pair are the Adidas Superstar 86 "Uprock", which has a complex graffiti design. A lot of careful hand painting required to replicate the "Uprock" design, but I'm pleased to say I did it, and of course even the shoelaces are edible!
The black Adidas shoe box is made with chocolate fudge cake with Madagascar vanilla bean filling, while the sneaker is yellow vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling.

Now in its 10th year, The Hartt School/Hartford Stage Partnership in Training offers a unique alliance of an undergraduate acting conservatory program and a respected professional theatre—one of only two such collaborations in the country. This partnership helps ensure that acting students at The Hartt School receive rigorous training and bring their skills, imaginations, and intellect to the demands of a professional theatre setting. Hartford Stage staff and guest artists guide workshops, and faculty and students appear in Hartford Stage productions. Hartt students have been seen in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Christmas Carol, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Noises Off!, To Kill a Mockingbird, Snow Falling on Cedars, The Crucible, and many other shows. Over the years, Hartford Stage has hired a number of Hartt students.
One of twenty nationally recognized Centers of Excellence, Hartford Hospital's Center for Education, Simulation and Innovation (CESI) is a training destination where healthcare professionals can sharpen their skills and practice a variety of realistic simulated medical scenarios using robotic surgical equipment, such as the da Vinci® Surgical System, and Sim mannequins. CESI's Program Director and University alumnus Steve Donahue says CESI is, "[p]art of a legacy when it comes to patient safety. It is dynamic and ever-changing, and is a source of great pride to health care providers."
CESI has afforded University of Hartford students opportunities to observe and explore sophisticated and cutting-edge healthcare technologies and solutions. As CESI volunteers and interns, University students have helped to create simulators, used 3D printers, worked with tissue models, and observed clinicians in training. This fall, School of Communication students enrolled in a new class titled "Video Production for Clients" are earning credit for producing a CESI training video that will be used for CESI's future training purposes. Donahue and his CESI colleagues help students "[g]ain a fresh perspective and develop new and innovate ways to solve problems." In return, University of Hartford students have enhanced CESI's workforce while contributing their time, skills and talents.
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC) is a nonprofit health services company whose mission is to improve the quality and value of health care for the people and communities it serves. Since arriving in Connecticut in 2014, HPHC has built a comprehensive network of the state's top doctors and hospitals; cultivated a rapidly growing membership of Connecticut employers; and developed relationships with businesses and the community at large, including the University of Hartford.
HPHC Vice President, Jason Madrak, has guest lectured to MBA students on healthcare issues, hosted undergraduate students during the Barney School of Business's Mock Interview Week, and participated in campus panels and roundtables on the importance of establishing and tending strategic partnerships. University of Hartford students have interned at HPHC and HPHC team members have volunteered with students and staff to prepare and serve lunches at a local soup kitchen.
University senior Chris Daley says his HPHC internship paved the way for future success. "It taught me the basics of the health insurance industry, as well as the fundamentals of a business environment—how to dress, write a memo, professionalism, using excel and different databases, and figuring out innovative and of out–of-the-box ways to complete a task."
University Community Service Director Matt Blocker-Glynn says HPHC's great culture promotes community service. "HPHC has been a tremendous University partner, helping to purchase food for our soup kitchen lunches, and working with us to help prepare and serve lunches to Hartford residents."
Since 2011, HPS and the University's College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions (ENHP) have had a formal partnership to grow educational and research opportunities that benefit HPS students and Hartford communities, and our University students and faculty alike.
One of the primary goals of the partnership is to encourage research that informs education reform in Hartford, the region, and beyond. ENHP'S Institute for Translational Research is the key unit that facilitates collaborative research that is relevant to residents of Greater Hartford.
HPS students and faculty benefit from enrollment in University courses while University education students are afforded priority placement in Hartford schools for internships and teaching positions, clinical placements, and other training opportunities.

Research paper preparing one's own communal sciences books at school
As you're studying at better amounts of faculty and in addition all the way through college, you will possibly you ought to be questioned to arrange study papers. A groundwork paper can be employed to obtain exploring and even figuring out methodical, complex and social issues. If its your very first time writing a examine paper, it may well appear overwhelming, but with exceptional organization and focus of intellect, you can make the process much simpler on all by yourself research paper crafting. Writing a basic research paper includes 4 biggest stages: looking for a topic, looking into your topic, generating an outline, and undertaking the actual composing. The paper isn't going to be able to write itself, but by preparation and planning clearly, the writing practically falls into site. Also, try to refrain from plagiarism.
Whilst you could be confined by special classroom or operate correlated pointers, deciding your matter is most likely the first and many crucial step in your own groundwork paper assignment.
Essay publishing program obtain lookup written documents, dissertation the great project
Irrespective of irrespective of whether your subject research paper creating tends to be everything you are looking for or has rigid conditions, it can be vital that you continue to keep a few questions in your mind: Is there adequate analysis attainable on this subject matter? Is a matter new and one of a kind good enough which i can offer fresh viewpoints? Could it be pertinent to my class/occupation? If you decide to are struggling to come back up by using a subject that feels just correct, consult your professor or coworkers/classmates for information. They may most likely have superb thoughts that investigate paper creating, even though they are not options for you to definitely choose, can inspire you with new suggestions. Inquiring a professor for help may seem terrifying, but if these are worth everything to be a professor, they need you to achieve success along with your give good results, and can do the things they can to produce that occur. "Research paper." What image arrives into intellect when you listen to those people phrases: doing the job with stacks of content articles and books, hunting the "treasure" of others' thoughts? Anything picture you formulate, it is a positive wager that you are envisioning sources of knowledge articles, publications, human beings, artworks. However a exploration paper is a lot more compared to extra information sum within your resources, added than a collection of different pieces of information a few subject matter, and a lot more than the usual analysis from the literature inside a field analysis paper composing.

A research paper analyzes a point of view or argues some extent. Whatever the type of homework paper you might be creating, your finished researching paper must present your individual believing backed up by others' suggestions and knowledge. To attract a parallel, a lawyer researches and reads about nearly all scenarios and employs them to aid their own scenario. A scientist reads so many circumstance scientific studies to assist an approach about a scientific investigate paper producing theory study paper crafting. With the comparable way, a background university student producing with regard to the Vietnam War could perhaps study newspaper content articles and guides and job interview veterans to grow and/or confirm a viewpoint and service it with proof. A basic research paper is definitely an expanded essay that presents your own personal interpretation or analysis or argument. When you compose an essay, you use anything and everything that you simply personally know and possess considered a subject matter. At the time you create a investigate paper you build up upon everything you know about the subject and create a deliberate attempt to find out what authorities know. A groundwork paper will require surveying a subject of data in order to discover the ultimate available data investigate paper writing in that subject.

About Us
Mission Statement
The mission of the Veterans Welcome Home and Resource Center is to assist our local military veterans with job placement, filing claims with the Veterans Administration, help those veterans who find themselves in deep financial difficulties, and to shelter those honorably discharged veterans who are homeless.
In order to accomplish these goals we will seek out all available resources within the community, and bring a better awareness to the sacrifices our military veterans have endured to provide safety and security for the United States of America.
About the Center
This center is a non-profit organization, incorporated in South Carolina. The center is not affiliated with any government agency, including the Veterans Administration. The center was established for the sole purpose of providing veterans with much needed assistance in learning about and applying for benefits due to each individual veteran.
The center was founded by veterans and others who support veterans and their rights. The center staff is currently an all volunteer group (no staff receive any money for any reason). A Board of Directors exists to oversee the operations of the center, as well as, the services provided.
It is important to note that Ron and Amy, and everyone who works at the Veterans Welcome Home and Resource Center are volunteers who have a deep desire to help those veterans who, for whatever reason, need assistance.
The board and the staff invite all veterans and any other interested parties to stop by and visit the center. Staff will be available during our normal business hours to provide information and answer questions regarding the center's work.

Entering my 50's has been a time to really reflect on all of I have been through and learned as life has thrown me curveballs. As a two time cancer survivor, I share my observations on many aspects of life and hope you will find it inspirational, entertaining and something you can relate to. This blog may also take twists and turns from the more serious and reflective to the lighter aspects of life with a goal of sharing ways to embrace the experience. My hope is that you feel free to comment, share your perspective and make this an interactive experience.

What are the Benefits of Bioflavonoids?
When it comes to antioxidants, vitamins seem to take center stage. But what about those "sort of" vitamins with incredible health benefits? Yes, we are talking about bioflavonoids.
While not true vitamins in the strictest sense, bioflavonoids work together with vitamin C to form collagen, one of your body's main structural proteins. Bioflavonoids also aid your body's immune-defense system and have mildly estrogenic properties, making them helpful in regulating some hormonal conditions. They are also the Crayola of the vitamin world, providing all the brilliant colors to fruits and vegetables. Some of the best sources of bioflavonoids include citrus fruits—lemons, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and limes—and buckwheat (a gluten-free grain that is not botanically related to wheat). Other good sources are apricots, cherries, grapes, plums, blackberries, papayas, green peppers, broccoli, and tomatoes.
In addition to "eating the rainbow," you can also take bioflavonoids in supplement form. Aim for 1,000-2,000 mg per day.

There still are many great rock bands out there. I probably hear at least one new band every day, but September Sky have managed to make an impression. They simply write great hard rock/metal songs in the vein of Soundgarden, Tool, Alice in Chains, even a bit of Guns n' Roses and Black Sabbath, without sounding like a carbon copy of their influences. You can hear for yourself here: https://www.facebook.com/septemberskyrockshttps://www.facebook.com/septemberskyrocks
How is the Rock/Metal music scene in Indianapolis? Are there lots
of bands/shows?
"The Indianapolis scene is interesting. Several great hard rock bands & metal bands in this city. And there are a handful of venues and supporters who are dedicated to showcasing original metal acts. The number of venues promoting original hard rock and metal are not as thriving as one may expect in a big city. we are definitely thankful for the venues, supporters and bands we have worked with, and we are dedicated to helping grow the scene. Indiana in general doesn't seem to fall on many industry executive's radars. I think that's the norm for Midwest entertainment. Seems to gravitate toward East Coast, West Coast and Nashville. Nevertheless, we are grateful for where we are and what we have."
What record would you say inspired you to become a musician the most?
"Its all over the board for everyone in the band but here are a few. Metallica: Master of Puppets, Tool: Undertow, Soundgarden: Superunknown, Alice in Chains: Dirt, Anything Ozzy or Black Sabbath related..."
There's more bands now than I think there's ever been before, is it
a blessing or a curse?
"I think it's great because there are that many more styles and great artists to discover. It Definitely makes it tougher to break through and get noticed on a national scale."
I love your guitar riffs. Who writes the music/lyrics? Is the
songwriting one member's job or is it a collaborative thing?
songwriting one member's job or is it a collaborative thing?
"We all write the music collectively. The riffs Usually start with one guitar and drums. We add and layer from there. I write all the lyrics and those typically come last."
Are there any bands playing/touring right now that you would say
you're big fans of? Or that you would want other people to hear?
"Definitely. Too many to list. 5FDP, A Day to Remember, Trivium. On a more regional level, I just discovered a new band from Ohio called Cinema Sleep. Really digging those guys..."
Your sound is kind of hard to classify. Does that make it harder to
earn fans?If you had to describe your band's sound to someone who has
never heard you, what comparisons would you make?
"I think it helps our fan base because we offer a little bit of everything. The Rock crowd seems to gravitate to the songs but so do metal fans. To describe our music? Imagine if modern hard rock, metal and grunge all had a collective baby. I'd say that about does it."
Let's talk about artistic vision. Do you have any idols that you
look up to and wish to emulate/pay homage to, or is your music more
personal expression?
"We certainly all have our artists that we like. But we don't try to copy any of them. It's more about combining those influences and our original expressions to deliver a message."
Is there an 'overall' message to your music or are your songs
written to stand alone?
"Every song is different but the overall message would be one of perseverance through dark times and dark seasons in life."
How has the band's style/sound evolved or changed since inception?
"Its become more refined and fuller. More well rounded and dynamic. "Beautifully heavy" is how some have described it. I think that fits pretty well."
Any shout outs or people you want to thank or acknowledge?
"Many thanks to every single one of our fans and supporters. This is all for them in the end. Hopefully our songs have spoken to our fans in some way. We are also very appreciative to all the venues and bands who work with us on a monthly basis. Scott Rainey of The Hit Department for recording both our albums. Adam Shewmaker for his video production skills. Yourself for this interview...forgetting several more so thanks to everyone who has ever helped or cared about September Sky. We cannot thank you enough."

Siam Country Club Waterside
The Siam Country Club Waterside course is the newest addition and third layout of the Siam Country Club in Pattaya. Designed by IMG, the course reflects a pleasant atmosphere and keeps to the same high standards of the previous two courses, the Plantation and the Old Course.
Spread over 200 acres, the course features a slight undulating terrain whilst being designed with several lakes and creeks flowing through the well maintain layout. The course stretches to 7400 yards from the back tees which will test the best golfers, whilst the front tees are more enjoyable for those less experienced golfers. Look out for the signature 17th, a gruelling Par 5 over 500 yards, that gives big hitters the opportunity to bypass a dog leg over the lake to reach the green in two, a true risk and reward hole.
The modern Waterside clubhouse offers a great finish to the day with a 180 degree view of the surrounding valley and a panoramic view of the course and its fabulous layout. The Waterside course is a superb addition to the already popular Siam Country Club, making it one of the best golf clubs in Asia Pacific.
