Her grandfather, U Tin San was disabled 16 years ago, and could no longer work as a day labourer. He survived fishing for prawns, but he claims that since Nargis, there are no prawns left in the creeks

Finally rode the Cyclone. I was in the third seat from the front and had the whole car to myself. I slide around quite a bit, but I wore the blood blister I got on the palm of my hand with pride! PRIDE!
LOVE the Cyclone.
A minor attempt at a Robotech (Mospaeda) Cyclone cycle. I couldn't figure out a good way to get the hub-mounted missile launchers on. And the colors aren't very accurate. But that helmet is very close to the animated version. Oh, and it doesn't transform. Someone better than me will have to tackle that.
Even nature was not spared as landslides and uprooted trees caused much damage to the otherwise scenic rural Bangladesh. Cyclone Sidr swept through southwestern Bangladesh on Novenber 16, destroying homes, crops and wildlife. The zinc roofs and wooden walls of many homes in villages throughout the worst-hit Khulna and Barisal divisions were unable to withstand the winds that hit on November 16, and rice fields were destroyed for a third time after floods earlier this year as rivers overflowed their banks. Official death toll figures stand at 2,000, although the Red Cross estimates that up to 10,000 may have perished in the storm. Relief efforts have been unable to reach some rural districts, hampered by destroyed roads and lack of information. Barisal, Bangladesh. Novenber 18, 2007.
An important success factor of the many projects in the affected region was to hold regular consultations with village committees who gave valuable input to the relief effort. This bottom-up approach helped international agencies to provide the assistance that the villagers needed most.

La tenue de réunions régulières avec les comités de village, qui ont apporté une contribution précieuse aux opérations de secours, a constitué un important facteur de réussite pour de nombreux projets dans la région touchée. Cette approche ascendante a permis aux agences internationales de fournir l’aide dont les villageois avaient le plus besoin.

MSH Apr 2007: "maelstrom"
The screen capture I took of Monica as I tracked it all day. IT is just about to hit the coast at full force very close to the township of Maningrida. It did eventually hit Darwin but was down to a Category 1 when it finally passed over us. It was pretty scary though watching this cyclone's path. Cyclone Tracy was a Category 3 and wiped out most of Darwin. We were very lucky.
TC Monica was a Category 5 at this point of time shortly before she hit Maningrida.

I got the new Festool 36 with the Oneida Dust Deputy for my 31st birthday this January. I got the Vortex to use with my old shop vac which I use on the table saw.

This Mural was painted at La Curtiduría in Oaxaca Mexico artist in residence center 2010.
Influenced by the Mexican wrestling characters which i saw the final outcome shows the robot wrestler smashing his way through the wall of faces which were collaged onto the wall of the old tannery building by artist Pilar Munoz.
Our very 1st encounter with a cylcone. Very exciting but a bit nerve wracking aswell. Don't think I really want to see another.
Cyclone B was originally used as a cyanide-based pesticide that was invented back in the early 1920's and although it was used to stop pests and small animals, it had a more gut-wrenching role for being used for mass genocide as the major gas used in chambers.
The gas would be formed by mixing the crystals with water which will form the poisonous gas. During tests, Cyclone B also had lethal affects on humans which would be used by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
Cyclone B would be used in the gas chambers which would be sent through pipes and as the crystals got wet, this would release cyanide gas.
With Cyclone B used for mass murder at Auschwitz, co-inventor of the gas Bruno Tesch was executed by the British in 1946 for his role in the Holocaust, including Karl Weinbacher for distributing the gas.
The majority of those murdered during the Holocaust were in gas chambers.
