The European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR) is intended to serve as the forum for exchanging information and knowledge, coordinating efforts throughout the Europe region and for providing advocacy for effective action to reduce disasters. Moreover, it shall be devoted to contemporary issues of importance needed to promote a good political climate for implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action.
Hosted by the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning, the Chair of the EFDRR, the meeting is co-organized in collaboration with the Council of Europe (EUR-OPA) and UNISDR Europe.
The purpose of the meeting is to facilitate discussion, exchanges and synergies towards disaster risk reduction activities in Europe and to provide inputs from European HFA Focal Points to the Post-HFA consultations.

Audio-reactive graphics, rendered in real-time on Processing. A group of particles are driven by a flow-field that reacts to sound's amplitude. Along the track the particles move around the screen with unpredictable paths generated by the sound inputs on the flow-field. Different types of visualizations are explored: the particles, the flow-field, and Voronoi cells created by the particles’ positions.
Created in Processing (works on v3), captured and recorder with Syphon. Voronoi cells made with Mesh library by Lee Byron.
Processing code here: github.com/visiophone/Reduction_Reflection
Inspired by: The "Nature of Code” by Daniel Shiffman (in fact this project started over the code example “FlowField” on chapter 6); ++ The amazing recent work of Raven Know with Voronoi, Particles, and other weird moving things.

Stress Reduction
03 February 2013 -- 34/365
Providence, Rhode Island
First a bit of backstory. There is a memorial park along South Main Street that is frequented by skateboarders. I see them there virtually any day the sun is shining. When I set out for my photo today, that's what I hoped to photograph. Well, today was the one day they were NOT at the park! Continuing onto Water Street, I spotted a lone fisherman, standing on the Dyer Street Landing. I quickly parked and started walking to the landing. He was on the opposite side of the river, so I had about a 1/4 mile walk - all of about 4 minutes. By the time I got there, though, he had packed up and was putting his rod in the back of his truck. Missed opportunity #2.
In today's case, third time was definitely a charm. I was about to walk back to my car when I saw this girl stroll along the river, stopping at this overlook to stare across to the colonial section of Providence. Once I explained the "Photo a Day" concept, she readily agreed to be photographed. She's a student at Johnson and Wales University, and likes to walk the waterfront here as a way to relax and relieve stress.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted the color sensitivity sliders, followed by adaptive exposure, regions, protect highlights, boost black, and boost white. The goal in this case was to preserve all the wonderful detail and texture in her jacket and backpack. They were both black to begin with, and I didn't want the detail lost in the processing. I added an overall levels adjustment in PSE, followed by a levels adjustment just to the sky. That was followed by a slight contrast adjustment and topped with a sepia photo filter.
Cleaned up and started the disassembly of the chaindrive.
The 24v Electric motor runs a double-roller chain to an intermediate sprocket reduction shaft. I'll keep this first chain since there is little or no wear.
The small sprocket behind the larger green middle sprocket will be swapped out for a new single-roller chain of larger cross-section, which in turn transmits power to the Axle sprocket.

THIS PROJECT WOULD HELP IN DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN RURAL AREAS AND WILL MAKE THE RURAL POPULATION SELF RELIANT AND SELF DEPENDENT. AT LARGE, IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO HELP IN REDUCTION OF CRIME. THE VISION IS TO HAVE THE TRAINING CENTRES AND PROJECT SITES/ GARMENT FACTORIES/ SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN ALL THE RURAL AREAS OF OUR COUNTRY/ WORLD TO PROVIDE OUR NATION/ GLOBE A NEW HORIZON FOR BEING SUSTAINABLE

OVERALL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DC MOTOR 75 WATT PER HOUR
Published on May 29, 2014
[[ A system to reduce power consumption in industry ]] by :- J S PASRICHA
1) Previously the machines had AC Clutch and AC Induction motor i.e. 400 Watt to 500 watt consumption per hour. Now, I have used DC motor 50 watt to 100 watt consumption per hours
.
2) The size of DC motor now is which is much smaller than the AC motor used previously. The size of the table has also been reduced accordingly.
3) The battery of 70 Ampere 12 volt can be charged with single solar panel of 75 Watt and this can work for 10 hours where there is no electricity/ rural areas.
4) In cities, AC to DC converter would be used to run the motor.
5) The DC motor can work on small invertors also.
Overall, the idea of operating industrial sewing machines on DC motors is very beneficial and this project would be helping many lives in future
I am a 51 years old business man working in the field of Industrial Sewing Machines since 1977, i.e. when my age was just 14 years. After passing my 8th class, I started operating Button Hole and Button Stitch machines. That time the cost of making one button hole and putting one button was 2 paisa each. The more button holes and buttons were stitched, the more money I would make. This was my only source of earning bread and butter, but at times I would end up earning nothing in the day because of electricity failures and operational dysfunctions in the machines for which there were hardly any repairers around at that time as the machines were not made in India . After making lot of efforts, I was able to understand and fix some of the common problems myself that occurred in the machines. This helped me to great extend as I was no longer dependent on getting the machines repaired from outside or buying new machines. But the problem of electricity failures persisted. However, there was no solution to this that time. I moved on in life and my business, gradually got into sale and servicing of all kinds of Industrial Sewing machines and progressed.
But I wished if I could still do something that could help people like me at large who are till date struggling great deal and ending up compromising on their bread and butter because these high-load industrial machines like Button Hole, Button Stitcher, Overlock, Bartake, Feedoarm, Double-needle, Zig-zag, Belt machine, Elastic inserting machine, Snap button machine etc. do not work without electricity. Each machine consumes about 400 Watt of electricity per hour. Using these industrial sewing machines on present day generators, invertors and solar plants is possible, but that requires huge investment, set-up and space. Consequently, the profit becomes small. So this was not a welcoming and exciting idea.
I was constantly thinking of some other way by which these high-load industrial sewing machines could perform on low-load/ less energy and should be portable so that it could be used anywhere, no matter that place is connected with regular power source or not.
The whole idea was to make these industrial sewing machines available, accessible and operational in the most under developed areas and also save energy. For discussions, understanding and research on this proposal, I visited companies in abroad during 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 but they suggested that the power consumption can be reduced to 50% but this was not enough, as this meant that each machine would still consume 200 watt per hour. I aimed to reduce the power consumption by 80% so I continued making efforts. After lots of research and experiments, I have finally been able to achieve success. Now all such high-load industrial sewing machines could be operated only at the consumption of 75 Watt per hour.
