Keep up the good work Bob. I'm behind in my reading [weather has been very settled and not conducive to being indoors], but looking forward soon to catching up with your valuable, insightful and varied posts in detail.
It's great to see realistic preparedness and that looks like good gear you have ready.
Cheers

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hi Bob
Great picture of you posing with your underlings and colleagues in humanitarian service. I know it is profound to be proactive and not reactive. Careful planning calls for assessment of current situations and past situations, the rewards for so doing are manifold blessings. A lesson for Haiti to embrace. Natural disasters will never go away from the inhabitants on earth so it is prudent for all governments and the people to have on the front burner disaster management techniques in all the various shades available for all and proper maintenance of infrastructure and all other peripherals essential for daily living. Keep up the good work; and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and job related activities.
Good morning Paterika. It's 5.30 am in Jakarta and I am just about to go for a morning walk. I love that quiet time to myself.
I have been working in disaster preparedness since 1975, and I started in a very poor country, Nepal. A small ammount of money invested in careful contingency planning, community awareness and training, can save countless lives and minimise damage to property and infrastructure. But alas, many Government to not give risk reduction or disaster preparedness the funding it deserves.
Thank God the Indonesian Government and Red Cross see it as a high priority.
Have a relaxing weekend.
Bob
