JOINS INTERNATIONAL DAY ON DISASTER REDUCTION & GLOBAL CLIMATE WORK PARTY
In December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean
was hit by one of the strongest Tsunamis the world has ever experienced that it
left enormous destruction to 11 countries which destroyed properties and killed
thousands in a flash. That fateful day has taught the world of natural hazard
events like tsunami’s can hit anytime and without remorse.
However, the lives that were lost on
that day was not put in vain when 168 countries signed the Hyogo Framework for
Action that pushes for Disaster Risk Reduction as a framework that will guide
communities all over the world in building their resilience against natural and
human induced hazards. The world has also recognized that climate change have
exacerbated natural hazard events which put rich and poor communities
susceptible.
With this,
the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction has started to
advocate and urge countries to implement DRR and start building their
resilience. On their part, 350.org also started to work on a global climate action
calling world leaders to seriously work in the reduction of greenhouse
emissions to 350 parts per million (ppm).
In support to the global actions on DRR and
climate change, the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR)
organized a forum on DRR and Climate Change supporting both UNISDR and 350.org.
The said event was organized on October 13 in IIRR, Silang, Cavite,
Philippines.
Dr. Julian Gonsalves, Senior Adviser of IIRR
on his opening remarks challenged the participants to change their lifestyle as
an individual commitment to contribute to the reduction of the global carbon
footprint.
A film showing followed on the experiences of
Latin America, Africa and Bangladesh on Community Managed Disaster Risk
Reduction (CMDRR). The stories came from the experiences of Cordaid partners
which are working on CMDRR that IIRR co-pioneered in 2006 as a global program.
A presentation on CMDRR was given by Jhun
Servano, Intern of IIRR on Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change. Servano
asserted that CMDRR is an emerging framework and tool on development to guide
development practitioners and communities in building their resilience to
respond to the impacts of climate change which is translated into
hydro-meteorological hazards. An assessment exercise followed to initially
guide participants on how to identify and characterize climate related hazards.
Mr. Benhur Villoria, IIRR Program Specialist
on Agriculture and Natural Resource Management gave a presentation on the
significance of Sustainable Agriculture as a response to climate change
considering the fact that both global warming and agriculture have extreme
impacts on each other. He shared that current developments towards industrial
agriculture brought about by the Green Revolution in the 70s only exacerbated
the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs). It encouraged the extensive use of
synthetic fertilizers, pesticides (byproducts of fuel production) together with
new sterile and mono-cropped hybrid plant varieties. Aside from consuming a lot
of energy and its byproducts, it also led to the clearing of forestlands which
diminished the capacity of the soil and vegetation as carbon sinks. Industrial
agriculture also discouraged the traditional practice of seed storage and seed
exchanges among farmers. It contributed a lot to the release of GHGs like
carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. In return, climate change has
brought about disruptions in agriculture production through extreme
rainfall/flooding, droughts and frequent incidence of pest and diseases.
Sustainable Agriculture is meant to reverse these trends by returning back
traditional and proven agriculture practices that are diverse, environmentally
friendly, socio-culturally acceptable, safe, productive and climate change
resilient. IIRR is in the forefront of
promoting SA technologies primarily through the promotion of the Bio-Intensive
Gardening (BIG).
Maggie Rosimo, IIRR Program Specialist on
Learning Community Program and Eco-DRR lead the soft launching of the “Safe
School to Offset Vulnerabilities and Increase Empowerment of Children” or SOLVE
Project which is a new program of IIRR that is pushing for safe school and is
initially funded by Metrobank Foundation, Inc. SOLVE will be piloted at IIRR’s
learning community in Ticao Island in Masbate. According to Ms. Rosimo, SOLVE
aims to build the resiliency of the children against natural and health hazards
as well as strengthening the capacities of teachers and parents to reinforce
resilience. SOLVE Project also aims to build disaster resistant classroom and
promotes environmental rehabilitation.
As part of the survivability and readiness
framework of the CMDRR, Jun Servano presented another new program of IIRR, the
Community Emergency Response Team or CERT. During the presentation, Gonzalo
shared that the purpose of CERT is to capacitate local communities and
organizations on community led emergency response to save more lives while
waiting for professional responders to come. CERT, according to Gonzalo,
involves a wide array of skills on disaster preparedness such as earthquake
management and contingency planning. It also involves skills on medical, fire
suppression, light search and rescue and disaster psychology.
As a gesture of commitment, the participants
of the forum were asked to list down at least 3 personal actions that will
contribute in the response to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The event culminated with the 350 human
formation of the participants which coincides to the Global Climate Work Party
organized by 350.org.

My last post, Afternoon ripple, had pretty good ripple action so I decided to take the focus to just the water and I suspect this is the limit without resorting to tricks. Today the breeze caused the water to ripple and I took advantage of the water and reflections. It requires the breeze, water and the sky to display at the same time. That might not always be in the cards. At the end of November it also ought to be a chilly breeze but probably not when the temps are in the 60s. This is another shot to take advantage of the afternoon clouding. I have shot here before when there was better autumn foliage. The foliage is burned and sere but I think the reflections on the water can still be used to advantage. I also feel I hit the water exposure just right if skirting a shaky capture. I edited toward that water effect. The water didn't perform on my more recent trips; I really only took away mostly exercise, booo. This afternoon, I was out there later but determined an evening sky was not going to form. This earlier afternoon brought great skies but generally still waters that reflected the terrific skies so I returned to visit old haunts. We have been subject to some days with dud skies and I was determined to take advantage of these skies. The clouds are what generated the great reflections on the water around the snags. Fall is over; I have resolved that my best autumn ever is at a close. I am still not willing to let this autumn slip away even though the foliage is largely gone. I made another loop of the path because we had a break in the overcast and some still waters. Drama reflected by the waters.
I needed a lot more exercise because I have spent too much time at the computer. I got a couple of shots of the foliage in the distance but it is deteriorating so I let it go dark but processed like crazy. I guess this scene just grabbed me emotionally for some reason.
Here in this blog you will get to learn a few facts as well as benefits of breast reduction technique. If you are willing to know about this in details, then have a look below. Visit Us : www.drzwiebel.com
An operation performed on a sagging (ptotic) breast designed to lift the breast and reduce or eliminate the sagging. A constant feature of the operation is that breast skin is subtracted in strategic areas to make the skin –container of the breast smaller, and the breast less saggy.

Example of noise reduction using multiple exposures.
These are crops at 800% from the sky of a photo taken in daylight with CirPol, ND and ND Grad filters giving a 1.3 second exposure.
A digicam owner would no doubt be pleased with the result in frame one, but the result from averaging 4 frames from a DSLR is quite remarkably smooth! Reducing the noise effectively increases the dynamic range, giving more scope for post-processing.

In 2006, ActionAid started the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) through schools project.
We have been working with people in seven different countries which have been affected by disasters such as floods or cyclones.
These countries are: Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi and Haiti.
As the world heats up scientists predict more extreme weather like floods or droughts. In many countries where ActionAid works people say changes in the weather are already affecting their lives.
Our DRR project aims to help over three million people.
The project uses schools as a base to educate children and the wider community about the risks of disasters and how to protect themselves.

Hormonal imbalances sometimes develop female-like breasts in men. This condition is known as gynecomastia or ordinarily referred to as 'man-boobs' that is brought about by the swelling of breast tissues in guys. While standard exercise extending a while will insignificantly decrease this swelling, in order to have an etched body, one should be patient to see that outcome normally. Be that as it may, if you want to see quick results, you can choose gynecomastia male breast reduction medical procedure.

Still looks full, but I have thinned it out a bit. Doing more shelf thinning in the coming days. Owners are going to show the house so I need to have stuff packed away in boxes. At least I'm getting some of the work done now.

I get headaches (migraines - I've had them all my life) and have found certain ways to help reduce the severity of headaches (which work for me but may not for you if you also have headaches - I'm a compute programmer, not a doctor). Sometimes, if I drink a bottle of milk tea (the sugary kind), it helps to reduce or stop my headaches if I drink it early enough. The bottles in the back are straight, black coffee and also work well but not as fast as the milk tea.
Unfortunately, if I get a headache in the afternoon, I almost never drink any caffeine because of the problems it usually causes in going to sleep.
