Challenges In Rural Marketing
Our nation is endowed with a very good degree of ethnic and regional diversity. About a few-fourth of the complete population resides in the rural regions and greater part of them are dependent on agriculture for their subsistence. Agriculture contributes about 24.7% to the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of the nation. It also contributes about 13.1% to the complete Indian exports. This sector delivers work to 58.4% of the country’s workforce and livelihood to extra than 650 million persons. Even with this point, the situation of these persons has not shown any sizeable enhancement.
The progress of the country largely is dependent on the progress of the rural population. Mahatma Gandhi had when claimed: “India’s way is not Europe’s. India is not Calcutta and Bombay. India life in her a number of hundreds of villages”.
Rural Market Opportunity
India is an agro-centered overall economy and the development of most of the other sectors of overall economy is pushed by rural demand. City marketplace is reaching in the direction of the saturation place, thus bringing in and urgent need to have to target on rural progress. In addition, extra than 70% of India’s population life in villages and constitutions a big marketplace for industry for the reason that of rising disposal incomes and consciousness degree.
In comparison to just 5,161 towns in India there are 6,38,365 villages in India. This in itself is an indicator wherever the actual India resides. Companies are noticing slowly but definitely that the essential to attain genuine marketplace leadership lies in tapping the rural opportunity. Even so, the rural sector in India suffers from different forms of issues. Some regions are owning plenty of funds but their degree of consciousness and that’s why consumerism is very small. But there are a lot of regions wherever financial empowerment, instruction, overall health and many others., are significant issues.
What is rural marketing and advertising
Although there is a big development in the urban marketplace, the rural or latent marketplace is nevertheless to be tapped, and has an monumental opportunity for development. A rural marketplace can be defined as any marketplace that exists in a place wherever the population is considerably less than 10, 000. The rural marketplace in India is scattered and distribute in excess of a vast geographical place. Indian marketplace is divided into urban and rural markets.
o Urban marketplace is flooded with small demand.
o Rural marketplace witnesses a high demand It truly is the rural section of marketplace that contributes extra earnings than its urban counterpart. Rural marketing and advertising broadly entails reaching customers, being familiar with their would like, supply of products and providers, and eventually satisfying individuals, major to extra revenue. The typical effect is that only agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, cattle feed and agricultural equipment have a opportunity for development in the rural marketplace. Even so, there is a expanding marketplace for client products now. It has been believed the rural marketplace is expanding at the price of 5 occasions its urban counterpart.
Troubles in Rural Internet marketing
Although rural markets are a enormous attraction to entrepreneurs, it is not simple to enter the marketplace and take a sizeable share of the marketplace, in the limited time thanks to the adhering to causes.
There are not plenty of chances for instruction in rural regions. The literacy degree is as small (36%) when in contrast to all- India regular of 52%.
Seasonal Demand from customers
Demand from customers for products in rural markets is dependent on agricultural situation, as agriculture is the key resource of cash flow. Agriculture to a big extent is dependent on monsoon and, therefore, the demand or buying capacity is not stable or standard.
Many rural regions are not related by rail transport. Kacha roadways turn into unserviceable all through the monsoon and inside villages get isolated.
An powerful distribution procedure necessitates village-degree shopkeeper, Mandal/ Taluka- degree wholesaler or preferred supplier, distributor or stockiest at district degree and organization-owned depot or consignment distribution at state degree. The presence of much too a lot of tiers in the distribution procedure will increase the price of distribution.
Services these kinds of as phone, fax and telegram are alternatively very poor in rural regions.
Common Daily life
Daily life in rural regions is even now ruled by customs and traditions and persons do not very easily adapt new tactics. For instance, even wealthy and educated course of farmers does not put on jeans or branded footwear.
Rural individuals are cautious in buying and conclusions are gradual and delayed. They like to give a trial and only following becoming individually glad, do they invest in the product or service.
Media for Promotions
Television has made a wonderful impact and big audience has been uncovered to this medium. Radio reaches big population in rural regions at a rather small price. Even so, arrive at of official media is small in rural households therefore, the marketplace has to undertake distinct revenue advertising routines in rural regions like taking part in melas or fairs.
Job in Rural Market
Although rural marketing and advertising offers a challenging occupation, a rural revenue individual really should involve selected skills and specialized expertise.
Culture is a procedure of shared values, beliefs and perceptions that impact the behavior of individuals. There are different groups centered on faith, caste, occupation, cash flow, age, instruction and politics and every single team exerts impact on the behavior of persons in villages.
There is a belief between rural persons that expertise is extra vital than official instruction and they regard salespersons who can supply realistic options to their issues. As a result, it is appealing that revenue persons, specially all those who have been brought up in cities are given a complete coaching consisting of both of those concept and realistic facets of village life. The coaching will aid these revenue persons to align by themselves with the marketplace realities and settle down effortlessly in their employment.
Rural marketplace has a remarkable opportunity that is nevertheless to be tapped. A tiny raise in rural cash flow, effects in an exponential raise in buying ability.
Long run Tendencies
Markets which are not equipped to deal with the rigid competition posed by MNCs, can restore their income in the rural sector. The marketplace share of urban marketplace when in contrast to the rural marketplace is small, that’s why if Indian industries concentrate on rural markets their revenue will raise. If rural markets are brought into the limelight of progress, they pave way to prosperity. Prosperity of India lies in the prosperity of each individual Indian, that’s why no rural section really should be remaining untapped.


Nestled between the bluffs and the Mississippi River, Cochrane is a small village with lots to offer! In a recent survey, many residents commented on how they appreciate the small town atmosphere and natural beauty that the area provides for their families. The Village has its own lumberyard, auto repair shop, bank, and post office. We also have a golf course, a scenic park, and outdoor swiiming pool and several taverns/restaurants for recreation. We even have a small lake. Originally an unsightly pond, in 1966 the pond was turned into Goose Lake Memorial park. While strolling through the park you will enjoy the fountains that aerate the lake, the many trees that have been planted in honor or memory of loved ones, the ducks and geese that visit every summer or kids playing on the playground and at the swimming pool across the road.


St. Chapelle, Notre Dame and Sacre Cœur today. Also found a vegan cookbook with french recipes :).
Second day in Paris and the highlight was definitely the Père Lachaise cemetery. Saw the tombs of composers and others (including Abelard and Heloise).
Been practicing my french by ordering food and talking to a nice lady at the cemetery.
Anybody remember this place? Brandt Lake, Greensboro. I used to come here all the time and this was where I ran my marathon.
I’m in town visiting friends at school before I leave, but it’s a little weird being back some place that I love and know so well (and knowing that I won’t be able to stay). Ran about 3 miles here, was a little drizzly, but still lovely (and cooler than it’s been in a while).
Sunset last night from the beach. Today is my last day at work!
Over the summer my love for this place, this beach, has just increased so much and even though I’m leaving, Fort Fisher was a place I grew up with and will stay in my heart as one of my favorite beautiful relaxing places. I’ve also learned that there is a lot of trash in the world (some days I felt like I picked it ALL up) and I’m going to work towards creating less waste in my life.
Stay tuned as more exciting things are about to be happening…4 days until I leave the country to go study abroad in France!
Haircut before and after. No more ponytails for me!
After running 6.5 miles last night, I made rice pudding for dessert and breakfast today. Also check them out at theveganstoner.com.
For those of you who are worried, I have not officially started packing. But I’m nowhere near being ready to leave yet.
my cats woke me up at 2 AM this morning and I’m really tired and don’t want to go to work. Ugh.
19 days until I leave the country and I still haven’t started packing yet.
I’ve been absent…
So it’s been awhile since I actually posted anything about what was going on in my life…so here’s a long list of things that have happened since then.
continued to work 40 hours at the beach
got my long stay visa for studying abroad in France
perfected my farmers tan
got back into a good running schedule (I haven’t been on one since February)
read a lot of books
got some new composition software that was really expensive but is really freaking cool and I love messing around with it
made my own vegan veggie burgers (sweet potato, black eye pea and spinach) without a recipe
burnt myself making said veggie burgers
ignored my own advice and ran two miles barefoot out of the blue even though I knew my feet weren’t calloused enough
oh my goodness I’ve started packing for France….so close…
Germany won! (these are not in order) Woo!
trying to convince my parents that a mohawk would be a really cool haircut
went to the farmers market all by myself, got baby eggplants and roasted them (on a weekend when I had the house to myself), felt grown-up
i think that’s all…if you want more detail about any of these things…message me and I’ll do a whole blog post. :)

What is Edge of Existence and why do I support them?
I grew up in the home counties just to the north of London in England. We lived in a modest tied cottage on the side of the small estate where my father was in charge of maintaining their landscaped gardens perimetered by hay fields and farmland. And though we were surrounded by green belt fields, our local town began its sprawl barely a mile away.
These surroundings gave me my first awareness of the threats and fragility of our green spaces and wildlife.
Grass cutting days were a particularly big event in the holidays in which I spent the day piling grass clippings high up in the trailer they were being collected in, getting bitten and jumped on by insects that got caught up in the chaos. I delighted in picking fruits from the orchard and watched in fascination as the ferret man as I called him, came to control the local pheasant and rabbit population. I often sat at my bedroom window in the evenings looking over our back garden into the fields beyond. Watching the planes fly over our local town in the distance, while the pigeons cooed as summer twilights set in.
After relocating to London as an avid walker and explorer I went about discovering everything I could about what made this city tick. In particular how we all move and interact with our urban environment in all its forms. These experiences led me to work with Zoological Society of London in a gap year during my studies where I got an insiders view on wildlife conservation and habitat protection first hand, where my passion for the subject was fully ignited.
However this was not my first encounter with the organistion. As a teenager we often went to Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire for school visits, art class drawing days and family days out. And so the seeds of species and habitat protection were sewn.
In 2015 my sister suggested I run the London Zoo Stampede 10k race in Regents Park with her. I jumped at the chance as I have always wanted to take up running more seriously and sign up for some races, and it had the added bonus of raising money for an organisation I felt passionately for. Not long after cutting my teeth with the runs at London Zoo I signed up for more, including my first marathon distance at Brighton Marathon, running in aid of the Edge of Existence programme.
The EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus, highlight and protect some of the most unique and endangered species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history and their habitats.
EDGE species have very few close relatives and are often extremely unusual in the way they look, live and behave, as well as in their genetic make-up. They represent a unique and irreplaceable part of the world’s natural heritage, yet an alarming proportion are on the verge of extinction.
The aim of the EDGE programme is to put these species on the map and catalyse conservation action to secure their future.
Each year a number of the most poorly known and neglected EDGE species are selected for conservation attention. Where virtually nothing is known, ZSL-led expeditions often represent the first step in determining whether rare and cryptic EDGE species still survive. Longer-term surveys are carried out by EDGE Fellows (aspiring in-country scientists that receive financial, institutional and logistical support from the EDGE programme) to determine the status of these species and identify appropriate conservation actions. ZSL partners with EDGE Alumni to support long-term, scaled up conservation projects focusing on their priority EDGE species.
The ultimate goal of the EDGE programme is to ensure that local stakeholders, governments, and in-country and international conservation organisations take ownership of these forgotten species and commit to ensuring their future survival.

During the days 7th to 13th of March we took out the fourth meeting of our current Comenius Project. This time, the country to be visited was Portugal. The Portuguese school is placed in a charming and very quiet place called Portalegre, close to the Spanish border with Badajoz. We made up a very nice team with nine students, mostly from 3º ESO, and two teachers, Rafael Jiménez and Alberto Rubio. During our journey we made a stop in Mérida, where we spent a most interesting day visiting the Roman Art Museum and the magnificent remains of the Roman historical buildings. The Portuguese school was a very modern one and made our students feel themselves as the characters of some North-American film. The families were most hospitable, and the students, as much as de teachers, really friendly. Although the weather was very cold, even snowy, we could enjoy viewing the most splendid landscapes during our visits to several beautiful places nearby Portalegre, such as Castelo do Vide and Marvao. The students took a lot of pictures and don Rafael Jiménez, one of the teachers, who is a very talented photographer, gave us a fine collections of pictures as a keepsake of our journey. On the last day of our visit we went to lisbon, where we had the opportunity of appreciating the beautiful style of the Portuguese Renaissance in the Monastery of San Jerome and the Tower of Belén. Afterwards, we spent the afternoon in the Aquarium, one of the best in Europe. At the farewell moment, all our students cried uncontrollably and promised to their Portuguese friends to be always in touch and to prepare future exchanges for the next courses.
During the present school year 2009-2010 our schhol is carrying out an interchange with the Instituto Comprensivo de Ripi (Italy).
From 21st to 27th March a group of 19 1st and 2nd ESO students accompanied by two teachers: Mª Dolores Galera y Rafael Somoza, travelled to Italy. The students stayed at Italian students' homes.
The trip was absoluteky satisfying from all points of view, as besides the cultural learning, the students were able to share and know the Italian customs. So, it has meant a unique personal experience they'll, definitely, never forget
Now we are looking forward to welcoming our Italian guests from 21st to 27th May, and hope their visit comes out as succsessful as ours there.

The Continent Africa is most times mistaken to be a single country with one central government. A close study will show that there are 54 countries each independent on its own, with its own people, language, belief and culture and other dependent states within the borders of the continent.
Africa in this 21 century, has become the business hub of most countries and companies because of its vast resources and growing population. In this article, I will categorize all African Nations as one because they all are making almost the same mistake.
In today Africa, starting a business as an entrepreneur without adequate funding is quite hectic and stressful. That is why many of its inhabitants are migrating to other countries. But the big question is “how long will they keep running off?” Most countries now have strict laws on the immigration of foreigners especially those from Africa.
So how can we make Africa with its vast resource and population to be the business center in the world not just in terms of consumption but in terms of production and manufacturing. The same way Asia is dominating the world, remember that Asia was once regarded as a poor continent.
Below are some of the challenges that African countries are passing through and have refuse to admit it or find a solution to it and thus making it easy for any country to exploit it.
Despite the fact that colonialism is long gone in Africa, we still undergo a different kind of colonialism called NEO-COLONIALISM. Neo-colonialism can be defined as the control or domination by a powerful country over weaker ones (especially former colonies) by the use of economic pressure, political suppression and religion.
In all African country especially Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal you can see the influence of other country especially in its economy.
Let me take Nigeria for example with its large reserve of Oil, it still doesn’t refine its products in the country but have to export it for processing and then import it and other petroleum products at a higher cost, its impact on the economy is not visible because it is able to keep the its budget afloat from the selling of the “black gold”.
Dependent on Import
Africa is considered as a consumers’ continent because it barely produces anything it needs apart for some agricultural products. Because of this, it relies so heavily on import on things it could have locally produce.
Most economic analysis will say Africa is a dumping site for most foreign goods. That may be true. Let me give an example using Senegal for example. The country main importers are China and the European Union, the import trade between these two countries and Senegal is estimated to cost at 351 Billion West Africa Franc (CFA Franc) -as at when this article was written. The highest the country has ever had was 524.40 Billion West Africa Franc (CFA Franc) in January 2017, but how much does this country make from export to others countries? The amount of export is 163.30 Billion CFA Franc. With a negative balance trade of (-) 187 billion CFA Franc meaning that it is approximately loosing 187 Billion CFA Franc from its trade.
Lack of Innovation
This is a serious issue in Africa, because of Africans heavy reliance on import, the local factory barely tries something new. Most factories are either owned by foreigners or by extreme wealthy business tycoons which are sometimes managed by foreigners.
Only a few countries in Africa such as Nigeria, South Africa, Angola etc. that has an active manufacturing sector that are indigenously owned but the level of the patronizing (purchasing) power of the citizens is very low when it comes to buying on local produces as many of term prefer to buy foreign products.
Though some African countries such as Rwanda, Kenya are gradually becoming more seriously on making it economy to be self-reliance, there are other internal threat that slows its economic activity down such as corruption of politicians and government official, terrorism especially in Somalia and North East of Nigeria and high illiteracy rate among its populace.
I am still optimistic that Africa will be great again, if its inhabitants are ready to take issues on their hands rather to wait for external solution from abroad.

Promoting awareness of biodiversity
The Mobile Biodiversity project meets the main cross-border challenge of protecting biodiversity. Although the environment is one of the most valuable assets, its potential is underused. The scope of the program reveals high levels of vulnerability to climate change compared to EU 28, Greek and Bulgarian national levels. Combined cross-border adaptive capacity is among the lowest in Europe. The range shows a significant degree of ecological connectivity and accordingly faces similar challenges such as – reduction of nesting sites, deforestation, forest fires and others. The main challenges identified include transboundary coordination in mapping, assessment and study of common ecosystems, the implementation of a common habitat conservation policy, and the promotion of biodiversity awareness.
Improved biodiversity management
The project approach envisages territorially integrated actions for improved biodiversity management at the cross-border level in accordance with the specific objectives of the INTERREG V-AΕ Cross-Border Cooperation Program: GREECE – BULGARIA 2014-2020. The planned actions, which define an innovative approach for presenting specific and scientific information through attractive ICT solutions for the protection of distinctive habitats and promoting awareness of biodiversity, are aimed at the identified needs of the municipalities of Kresna and Paggaio within the cross-border region.
More information can be obtained from the official “Mobile Biodiversity”project website.


– travel guide for la vega, dominican republic
La Vega continues to be one of the most attractive cities for domestic tourism of Dominicans, despite not being lined with beautiful beaches or lavish resorts. Within its territorial extent of about 2.287 square kilometers, the province hides interesting hidden treasures and historical accounts. It is a town which has retained many traditions, cheerful and helpful people, beautiful royal poinciana trees, colorful masks, and carnival music full of joy. It has been home to outstanding athletes, journalists, doctors, artists, writers, and presidents such as Juan Bosch.
Located in the Cibao Valley, La Vega has an exuberant nature, numerous rivers, and the two major cities of Constanza and Jarabacoa, which are nestled in the heights of the Cordillera Central, more than 500 meters above sea level. Both are considered among the main tourist attractions of the province for its rivers, waterfalls, and valleys, which ideal for ecotourism and adventure tourism.
The main economic activity of the province is farming. Among the most common of the locally produced agricultural products are rice, coffee and snuff, bananas, cassava, beans, pigeon peas, corn, fruits, and other minor items.

Among other traditions is the veneration of the Virgin of Mercedes and the festivities that venerate the Virgin of Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Antigua.
The main attractions are: The colonial ruins of La Vega Vieja, El Santo Cerro, the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercedes, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, La Vega Carnival, and Jarabacoa.
La vega carnival
An entire industry works on the preparations for the carnival in La Vega, when more than half a million visitors come to see the colors and listen to the sounds of the Naughty Diablos Cojuelos (Limping Devils), with their huge colorful masks and their long horns. The tradition encourages the devils to chase the spectators when they cross their path in the parades, which take place every Sunday in February. Later, the main bands will play merengue, bachata and salsa until late at night. You will be able to enjoy the main characters Los Africanos, Los Indios, Roba la Gallina, Se Me Muere Rebeca, Diablos Cojuelos, Califé and La muerte en Jeep, among others.

Immigrants & Migration.
French immigrants left Canada or France to come to the United States. Many of these immigrants settled in the New England area of the United States where cotton mills and woolen mills offered employment. Other French immigrants settled in New Orleans where a large French population had been living since the early days of French exploration. French immigrants stablished roots in their new land that would influence generations to come.
Unlike the previous century, during which the vast majority of immigrants were European, these newer immigrants have come primarily from Central America and Southeast Asia. Many have entered the United States to escape the violent conflicts and ensuing chaos in their own countries (conflicts in which the United States has often been involved). Others, like millions before them, have simply sought a better standard of living and brighter future for their children. While the spread of immigration was mostly the Europeans at the begining of the 1900's, it was now becoming more common for other countries also. From 1940 all the way up to 2000 the numbers of different countries grew rapidly.
Africans, Arabs, Armenians, Asians, Brazilians, British, Canadians, Cambodians, Central Americans, Chileans, Chinese, Cubans, Dominicans, Europeans, general, Filipinos, Greeks, Guatemalans, Haitians, Hispanics, Hmong, Indians,Indochinese, general, Iranians, Irish, Japanese, Jews, Koreans, Laotians, Latinos, Mexicans, Pacific Islanders, Poles, Portuguese, Puerto Ricans, Russians, Salvadorans, Sikhs, Southeast Asians, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, West Indians.
There are three levels of explanation: the individual, the familial and the structural-institutional. At the first level, the individual, focuses on individual perception and asks what advantages individuals hope to obtain by migrating. These often include the prospects of increased economic opportunity or a higher standard of living or escape from social turmoil.
A second level of explanation focuses on family needs. Often, the decision to migrate is not simply a personal but a family decision, reflecting the desire of a large family unit to enhance its security or improve its well-being. Many family or kin groups receive “remittances”—cash payments that help to support family members—from relatives who have migrated to another area.
A third level of explanation—the structural and institutional—focuses on the broad social, political and economic contexts encourage or discourage population movement. Factors that stimulate migration include improvements in transportation and communication or income differentials between more economic advanced and less advanced areas. War, too, induces migration. Factors that inhibit migration include immigration laws restricting exit or entry.

Allowing contributors to enter alternative viewpoints with provenance
Provenance is key for establishing trust. Trusting information implies a judgment by the consumer on whether they accept the information. Trust is based on provenance records, for example looking for authoritative sources in the provenance records or particular well-accepted processes such as a published scientific method. In social knowledge collection frameworks, the provenance of the information really matters since the contributions can have varying quality.
Traditional research on trust focuses on entity trust, where the trust is associated with particular entities (Artz and Gil 07). For this work, we are interest in a novel notion of content trust, where the trust is placed on a piece of information (Gil and Artz 07). A qualitative notion of content trust can be provided as users create queries that refer to provenance records of entities. For example, “According to government sources, what US congress representatives own a business?” would deliver to the user only answers that were associated with sources that are government organizations (e.g., NIST). We can also measure trust quantitatively with metrics derived from provenance records.
For this work, we are looking at tracking provenance in sites that crowdsource geospatial information, and in mashups of geospatial sources. We are working with the Open Geospatial Consortium to understand requirements for provenance in a geospatial context, and to determine how quality and trust can be derived from provenance records. We are using the W3C PROV standard to represent geospatial provenance. An OGC Provenance Report will be released publicly soon, for now there is an interim OGC document available to OGC members: the OGC OWS-10 Provenance wiki.

UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex
After the closing of the Airport Ice Rink, the Pittsburgh Aviators found themselves without a home. With much hard work from our team managers and help from the terrific staff at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, we were able to secure ice slots and continue with practices and games during the 2016-18 seasons. In addition to Cranberry the Aviators have picked supplemental ice at Bairel Ice Complex, RMU Island Sports Complex, Pittsburgh Ice Arena, and Shadey Sdie Academy. We continue to explore opportunities and secure ice time for next season's tryouts, practices and games.


When I was young I wanted to be an explorer.
I never made it to those places I was fascinated by: Madagascar, Baffin Island, Inner Mongolia, Africa, the Amazon and Tierra del Fuego.
But my life through its twists and turns, has been a life of different explorations, different careers.
I started art relatively late (turning 30). I drew a lot when I was a child and admired my mother for her portraits. I had grown up in the Chicago area, entered and left the Catholic Seminary, went to university in St.Louis, Missouri. Trained as a geologist, I tried that field, but moved on to other things. I tried various types of work, all kinds of work. As I changed jobs, I changed locations. I lived in various places all over the US, Michigan, Missouri, Washington, Arizona, Montana, California and British Columbia. When I went through a divorce, I moved to Colorado where I started my art career at the University of Colorado, Denver. I wanted a new beginning and found it in art.
With my new girlfriend I moved to Massachusetts, then Maine. During the period living on the East Coast, my girlfriend became my wife and my daughter came to live with us at 8 yr. old. During that period I worked hard at painting, trying various media such as oils, acrylic, gouache, mixed media, encaustics. I made my money as a food server and/or art model. I had some success, being shown in galleries and museums in Maine. In 1986, we moved with our daughter to California continuing on my art making and working as a food server. For a short time I had a studio in downtown San Diego, showed in Old Town in San Diego, had a couple of agents. After a few years, when I was in my 40’s, I realized that I needed to find another form of work to support myself. I went back to grad school at San Diego State Univ in the grad program in geography, specializing in GIS (geographic information systems) and remote sensing interpretation. I got a professional GIS Analyst job in Redding, Ca, worked for them for 11 years, then began working as an independent GIS Analyst up to the present.
In 1993 my wife, daughter and I moved to Redding, Ca. so I could start work as a GIS Analyst. While working in GIS I had to make many maps on the computer. I got interested in digital media, such as digital painting, landscape visualization, 3D work and digital work in general. Over the next 15 years I continued working in GIS, but also kept my my interest in digital media and art.
In 2013, still working independently as a GIS Analyst,but semi-retired, my wife and I moved to Chico, Ca. Re-entering the art world, I enrolled in ceramics, printmaking and digital media at CSU Chico. Since then I have been reshaping my life to once again be the artist I was when I was younger.
Now in 2015, I want people to see my art, both in traditional media and in digital media. I am free to pursue my art freely since becoming semi-retired.


I’m what some might call a World Traveler. I wouldn’t call myself that, but only because it sounds a bit too grandiose for my tastes. Still, the nickname might be warranted. I’ve traveled to fifteen different countries in the last five years. Though that’s mostly thanks to school-sponsored programs and dumb luck.
Whatever the reason, I’m privileged to have visited the far reaches of the globe. I’ve spent summers gallivanting across Europe and winters reclining in the Caribbean. I’ve had trips to Central America in the fall and East Asia in the spring.
The Often Overrated Rewards of Travel
First, I’ll start with the cliché travel tropes.
Frequently, people talk about traveling in almost abstract terms. Like going to another country is more about “getting away” than going away.
They talk about wanting to lose themselves in the ancient architecture of a distant city. They fantasize about wandering through its cobblestone streets and finding a new appreciation for life when confronted by an old, refined beauty.
Others think of travel as an opportunity for culinary exploration. Their trip might center around tasting exotic foods and unfamiliar drinks. They seem mesmerized by the myriad of foreign flavors that leave them wondering how they managed to live without. They might even bring some spices back home.
To be sure, nothing is necessarily wrong with either of these approaches. Taking time to admire architecture or sample cuisine are quintessential to the travel experience. I believe these things can serve as worthwhile forays into the history and culture of a given country. However, they should not stand as the end-all.
Every trip is transformative.
The more I learn about the world, the more I learn about myself. It’s this quality that makes international travel so enticing. Having a conversation with anyone who’s been bit by the travel bug makes this fact abundantly clear.
Yet, it’s hardly revolutionary to say that traveling to another country is a life-changing experience. It seems to be common knowledge at this point. What travelers fail to agree on, however, is what exactly makes it so transformational. Surely, there must be something that gives the experience its appeal.
Personally, I believe the most poignant aspect of visiting a foreign destination is also oftentimes the most overlooked – meeting the people who live there.
The Importance of Meeting People
In my experience, the greatest pleasure of travel comes not from seeing the beautiful buildings peppered throughout a city but from interacting with the people who live inside them. It comes not from tasting the decadent cuisine but from talking with those who create it. The people who I meet in these faraway countries tend to leave me with the most poignant memories I have of these places. I have learned three major lessons from making travel centered around the people and not just the places.
Learn History and Culture Up Close
First, I believe making an effort to meet and talk to people lends itself to being a more inclusive learning experience. It should come as no surprise that the people who live in these places are usually raised learning the history. They are also the ones who are the most intimately familiar with the culture.
It seems people are always happy to talk about two things: themselves and where they are from. Everywhere I go I try to learn a little about both of these things. Having a genuine interest in a person and their culture seems to open people up, and this makes for a lively conversation. Over the years, I have felt like I learn as much in a heartfelt conversation with a local friend as I would during a trip to a museum.
Another boon to prioritizing connections with people during travels also stems from these conversations. However, in this case, I’ll focus on my role. Naturally, any good conversation is a give-and-take. Both people take turns exchanging their thoughts and ideas. So during the culturally inclined conversations I tend to find myself having, I’m usually granted the opportunity to talk about my own country and culture.
This might not seem like a big deal, but initially it was huge for me. The first time I left the United States I was still young, and the concept of American identity still seemed abstract to me. But when I was thousands of miles away from home fielding questions from people who wanted to know more about where I was from, it gave me this sense of group identity. Ultimately, it was when I left America that I began to feel American.
Exchange of Ideas
The last and perhaps most important gift one can get out of travel is an understanding of different ways of life. The idea is not only a person knows the customs and traditions of a foreign land, but he is also able to understand why they are practiced. In the huge diversity of the world, some people live very differently than others. Perhaps the instinctual reaction is to avoid those who act and think differently.
However, it is the people who seek out foreign ideas and customs who learn the most. They are the ones who experience the most growth during their travels. Some might even go so far as to reevaluate some of the customs and beliefs of their own countries. These transformational moments only come to those who dare to discuss their ideas with others when they land in another country.
I will end with a story.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti. Up to that point I had basically only traveled to European countries. Haiti would be different, to say the least.
I was there for almost a week touring the country and volunteering; however, what I remember most vividly was a conversation with a young boy. After a short class, I sat talking with students when a boy only a few years younger than me came to talk with us.
We conversed for nearly two hours. During the conversation, he talked to me about his country. He talked about its triumphs and its failures. He spoke of the countries history, and he explained the problems its people faced now. He talked about the poverty, the danger, and the pain many people live with.
But still, they smile.
They smile and laugh because they have each other, he said. They have human connection.
Ever since, I have also made sure to put connecting with people before anything else.

I am a UK citizen over 21 years old and my mother has filed an I 130 petition. It is currently at the stage where I need to submit police records and photgraphs prior to an interview. I am currently in the US on the Visa Waiver Programme. In 2005 I met a young lady on the Internet and we struck up a relationship that has since blossomed into love. We have been on vacation in Jamaica in 2006 and she stayed with me in the UK for three months in 2008. I also visited her in July and December last year and I am currently with her up to September when I will need to leave the US. She lives in the US and I live in the UK. I have a few questions that I am hoping to get some advice for. 1. Can I legally get married to this young lady without jeapordizing my current I 130 application? 2. If we get married would I need to return to the UK and come back to the US sometime afterwards as we intend to live in Florida? 3.Would getting married in the US be a better option than to wait for the completion of the I 130 petition. 4. Can I adjust status from the I 130 petition under VWP entry to the US?

A North American favourite and the fruit of a longstanding Californian tradition, the rosy sun-blushed Cling Peach blossomed from both historic and international roots. This section provides a detailed look at the extensive travels of the California Cling Peach.
The origin of the peach dates to tenth century BC China where the first wild peach trees produced small, sour fruits. The ancient Chinese quickly learned to cultivate the trees, resulting in larger, more flavourful fruit. Mentioned in ancient Chinese writings, the peach was a valuable trade commodity and was also believed to confer immortality.
“Sweet” News Travels
Carried west by caravans, the news of sweet, velvety peaches slowly spread along trade routes throughout Asia. In Persia, the suitable climate provided exceptional growing conditions for peaches, hence the name (prunus persica). By 140 BC, peaches had reached the Mediterranean region, specifically Rome and Greece. In 65 BC, the Roman emperor Pompey introduced peach trees to Roman orchards, and peach production rapidly increased throughout western Europe. When peaches finally reached northern Europe, they were enjoyed as a rare delicacy as the climate did not encourage peach farming.
An American Peach
Peaches did not reach the shores of the Americas until more than 1500 years later. In 1513, the Spanish introduced peaches to Florida where they quickly began to cultivate the extremely popular fruit. Peach farming slowly spread throughout the thirteen colonies and then westward towards the Mississippi River. In 1524, the Spanish introduced peaches to Central America independently. Beginning in Guatemala, peach farming spread north through Mexico and eventually, into California.
A Californian Tradition
Beginning in the late 1700s, Spanish missionaries from Mexico began to build the California Missions as they traveled north along the coast. In addition to Christianity, they also brought peaches, which they planted in their gardens. However, mission cultivation did not supply the general population. Most peaches were shipped into California from the eastern states.
In 1849, the gold rush initiated a population boom within California. As a result, eastern supply could no longer satisfy demand for peaches. California peach production began. Numerous varieties flourished in California’s Mediterranean-like climate and an important industry was born.
The California Clingstone
There are two types of peaches, Freestone and Clingstone, both descendents of the first wild peaches from China. The Freestone Peach, usually enjoyed fresh, is distinguished by the ease with which the fruit separates from the pit. Conversely, the fruit of the Clingstone Peach “clings” to the pit. Clingstone Peaches are therefore processed (the pit is removed) and preserved to ensure yearlong availability, convenience and nutrition.
Both freestones and clingstones are produced in California, but Cling Peach farming has been exceptionally successful. In fact, California produced nearly 100% of the 2001 US Cling Peach crop.

A Taste of Summer in Midwinter
Something I did for practice a couple of years ago. You've likely seen a smaller version on my website on NCF for the last couple of years, right under the sidebar menu column.
And if you live in Ottawa, you may recognize it as one of the landmarks of Confederation Park's northern side, abutting the Mackenzie King Bridge...


There are so many big things happening at DHS, one of them is a very exciting trip June 4-13 .
Ms.Wood has been planning this trip since last school year with a hope for many students to become involved with this extravagant event.
When asked, what motivated Ms.Wood in wanting to travel so far with a group of students she said, ¨When my parents turned 70 they decided to retire, and start doing adventures from their bucket list that involve traveling. They really enjoyed it and learned so much from it that they decided to travel abroad every other year, and made sure to tell me not to wait until I turned 70 to start seeing the world.¨
The students attending the trip, will be traveling about 12+ more hours across the world to London, and spend about ten days traveling around Europe. Students have different reasons for going on the international trip.
¨I’m very excited about this trip, as it has been a dream of mine to go to Europe for some time,¨ Haydan Frische.
The travelers will visit some of the most historical places in London, Paris, Florence, and Rome, and will learn more about culture and history for example the London Bridge, Tower of London, and The Colosseum.
“I want them to learn more about areas that we hear about and see in history books,” Ms.Wood said
The trip isn’t just a life experience it helps students with college credit. Students can earn up to 3 hours of college credit for their time and experiences on the trip. Students can use the Europe trip on their college applications to show that they have international experience.
“Going to Paris excites me the most, and my parents are excited for me being able to go,” senior, Marie Guevara said. “My parents are excited that I am getting to travel and experience cultures and life outside of Texas. They want me to explore and see new places.”
“I have always wanted to go and explore the world,”Jenny Dahn said. seeing Rome and London makes me want to attend this amazing trip. My parents want me to explore new places,” Danh said.
Ms. Wood enjoys motivating other people to travel, as well as getting to experience these new places with the students. This is Ms. Wood’s second trip traveling abroad with students. Now that the trip is getting closer, the students are beginning to learn some basic French words. Such as ‘Where is the restroom?’ and ‘How much is that?’


Press Release - 21 October 2011
Nepal’s first national park - Chitwan National Park - is famous for biodiversity conservation and has been listed as the World Heritage Site. The park is known world over as home to Asian Rhinoceros and Royal Bengal Tiger.
After the ten years of political conflict, media, conservation organisations and other stockholders initiated conservation activities which helped increase the population of rhinoceros and tiger.
In this situation, NEFEJ is concerned that the government initiation to allow elephants owned by private businesses to enter the national park will severely affect the conservation efforts.
Thus, NEFEJ urges the government to control the movement of privately-owned elephants into the national park and help encourage the wildlife conservation.
Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) expresses serious concern on the government initiation to allow privately-owned elephants inside the Chitwan National Park for business purposes.

Anyone looking to renovate their front yard or backyard has probably considered adding a retaining wall. This provides a unique and elegant design that increases the theme of your home and, potentially your property value. We’ll be going over what is a retaining wall, the benefits it provides, and how to plan around its construction.
What Is A Retaining Wall In Construction
Retaining wall construction is a wall that is built to support soil or rock. The soil or rock is usually behind the wall. The wall is built to keep the soil or rock from moving forward. Retaining walls are often used in construction projects.
Retaining walls can be made of various materials, including wood, stone, and concrete. They can be simple or complex. Simple retaining walls are usually just one layer of material. Complex retaining walls may have multiple layers of material, or they may be reinforced with steel or other materials.
Retaining walls are used for many different purposes. Some retaining walls are used to hold back soil or water. Others are used to support a structure, such as a building or a bridge. Still, others are used to create terraces or other landscape features. The retaining wall is great for anyone who loves to garden and has a huge plant collection.
Why A Retaining Wall Is Constructed
Retaining walls are built to hold back soil, rocks, or water. The slope of the land often dictates whether a retaining wall is necessary. If the ground is too steep, it may be difficult to grow plants or build a structure on it without a retaining wall. In addition, a retaining wall can prevent erosion and help to stabilize the land.
There are many different types of retaining walls, and the best type for your needs will depend on the slope of the land and the amount of weight that needs to be held back. For example, a gravity wall relies on its own weight to hold back the soil. A cantilevered wall is anchored into the ground and uses beams or trusses to support the weight of the soil. A crib wall is made up of interlocking timbers that are filled with dirt or gravel. Each of these retaining wall types serves a purpose.
It’s best to think and plan your retaining wall design with the help of a construction company.
Is A Retaining Wall Considered A Permanent Structure?
A retaining wall is considered a permanent structure if it is built to last for an indefinite period of time. This means that the wall must be made out of durable materials that will not degrade over time, and it must be designed to withstand the forces of nature. Retaining walls can be made out of concrete, stone, or brick, and they can be either free-standing or anchored to the ground.
When deciding whether or not a retaining wall is considered a permanent structure, it is important to consider its purpose. If the wall is being used to hold back soil or water, then it is likely that it will need to be replaced at some point in the future. However, if the wall is being used for decorative purposes, then it may last indefinitely. Overall, while it is not impossible to remove a retaining wall, it’s important to look at its purpose for your home.
What’s The Difference Between Shotcrete And Retaining Wall?
There are two main types of concrete walls: retaining walls and shotcrete walls. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to know the difference between the two before deciding which is right for your project.
Retaining walls are typically used to support soil or other materials that would otherwise collapse. They are often used in landscaping projects to create raised beds or terraces. They can also be used for landscaping and gardening purposes. Shotcrete walls, on the other hand, are mostly used for decorative purposes. They can be used to create interesting architectural features or to cover up unsightly objects like pipes or air conditioners.
So, which type of wall is right for your project? It really depends on your needs and preferences. If you need a functional wall that will support a lot of weight, then a retaining wall is probably your best bet. The retaining wall can even have a unique paving pattern to compliment your home with the help of a paving company. However, if you want something that’s more for aesthetics, then the shotcrete wall can be the best choice for you.


I've fallen a bit behind in updates (I blame pregnancy fatigue- it was no joke during that first trimester), but memorial weekend we took another spur-of-the-moment road trip with the goal being to visit Zion National Park. I had a few other stops calculated out as well.
As usual, we left Friday after work, drove until we were tired and found a campsite for the night. USA RV park was true to its patriotic name, although being located next to railroad tracks made sleep difficult. We boiled water for oatmeal and hot chocolate the following morning and prepared PBNJ for later consumption.
The next day's sight-seeing agenda had us stopping in Arizona to see Horseshoe Bend - a section of the Grand Canyon we had been dying to see since our first trip! It was gorgeous! We sat on the edge and soaked in the view.
Not far from that was Antelope Canyon - another popular tourist trap. Let me tell you, this is a literal TRAP! After stealing a but load of our money ($8 each person just to park, plus an additional $20 per person entry ticket for the lower canyon) we waited for HOURS for our time slotted tour (it was packed being memorial weekend). After being delayed multiple times, we decided to call it quits and spend the remainder of our time on something more productive.
Disappointed and agitated, we headed to Zion. It took our breath away driving in. Upon entering the park, we discovered how the shuttle system worked. Our hopes were to hike The Narrows that night, but we were informed we wouldn't have enough time before the last shuttle.
We decided to call it a day (just driving through the park was a sight to see), grab some grub and find a place to pitch a tent. Every campsite in the area turned out to be completely full! By this time we were exhausted and at our wit's ends.
Luckily, we discovered a rental shop had quarter machine showers so we could clean up before figuring out our next course of action. Spencer talked to the guy manning the shop and he suggested a patch of private land available to campers. Driving in the dark, we managed to find aforementioned spot and settle in for the night. We love the adventure this self-brought-on exhaustion returns us.

Several years ago when I lived in my little beach cottage on the Oregon coast (B.N.---before Nils came into my life), I was taking my almost daily beach walk when, as I looked down the coastline, I saw something large on the beach. As I got closer, I realized it was this magnificent sandcastle. No one was around putting the finishing touches on...and no one was standing around admiring it, as I soon would be. It was over 6' tall and enchanting in detail.
The waves were beginning to erode the lower levels when I first saw it, and a sense of immediacy came over me. I had to get a photo of this...but, of course, my camera was safely at home several blocks away, and I had walked to the beach, not driven. With adrenaline flowing, I walked as fast as I could back up the beach and the several blocks home, grabbed my camera and drove back to the beach access. All that time, I feared a little boy like my grandson would take a big stick and feel compelled to smash the castle, or that the incoming waves would have caused it to dissolve back into granules of sand.
But when I returned all was still intact, the castle was being ignored by all but me, and I was able to shoot the many shots I wanted of this fabulous creation. Later it would end up in several pieces of my collage work...like La Mer.

A magnificent ode to nature, a film that suspends time, set to the sublime music of Warren Ellis and Nick Cave.
The Velvet Queen explores the awe-inspiring landscapes of Tibet and the unpredictable journeys of its inhabitants. Wolves, bears, yaks, birds and the mythic snow leopard come to life on the big screen.
High up on the Tibetan plateau, lie untouched landscapes of unmatched beauty. Amongst unexplored and inaccessible valleys, filmmaker Marie Amiguet (La vallée des Loups) accompanies renowned nature photographer Vincent Munier and writer Sylvain Tesson on an adventure, in search of the snow leopard. For several weeks, they’ll explore these valleys encountering unique animals and searching for the elusive snow leopard that very rarely, if ever, reveals itself to humankind.
The Velvet Queen provides audiences with the atmospheric experience of a hunt without weapons, as we follow particularly Munier’s obsession to capture the holy grail of the animal kingdom. The documentary feels simultaneously like a test of human patience and a celebration of slowness. Escapism that is grounded in the reality of the natural world.
Maroons us in a desolate but beautiful part of the world, in a narrative building to a final unforgettable encounter. – Catherine Bray, Film of the Week
Wondrous and utterly sublime, The Velvet Queen is a visual ode to perfection — a mesmerising piece of cinema that exudes utter childlike joy and sets the gold standard for those that would follow in its footsteps. – June Butler, Film Ireland Magazine
