	I have become a member of a community resilience effort in California. I also have minor experience in aquaponics which has connected me experienced aquaponics practitioners who are willing to help design and build the aquaponics aspect of a structure. I ~~would also~~ scale up the innovative vermiculture method I have just got running successfully on May 3rd ~~and place~~ run it ~~complimentary~~ to the aquaponics system in the same structure~~. This facility would ideally be a CEB structure~~. Every aspect of this facility could be open sourced. ~~This facility~~ can begin strategic development around this idea to prepare the effort to begin Spring 2013. This could be done in California because the aquaponic practitioners live there. The facilities could then be replicated at Factor e Farm once the project is completed. Ideally, Factor e Farm and the California location could be producing their own food by the end 2013 with the proper direction, planning, and funding.

I can scale up the innovative vermiculture method I have just got running successfully on May 3rd. I'd run it complementary to the aquaponics system in the same structure which will also provide housing for the master gardener after the aquaponics is up and running.

	It will be my dream job and it will also enable me to have achieved it in about 80% of the time. The only thing left for me to do would be to retire as a teacher spreading the knowledge wherever I go. This is important because after providing security on the roof of the polls during the first election ion Iraq in a combat zone only to have our rules and regulation prevent viable ideas to flourish because a few properly positioned individuals can impede progress because there is a lack of understanding and knowledge about true solutions. I have been waiting for a company with the proper values and objective to continue my own personal mission of developing and providing a safe community with food and water security for my family and inherently to the surrounding communities. My ideas have been commonly called grandiose.		It will be my dream job and it will also enable me to have achieved it in about 80% of the time.

	Yes. Information is our abundant resource. Our ability to think and prevent problems while expediting solutions is invaluable to a successful business. My design philosophy that I developed while finishing college was and still is "Presentation and profit present themselves if the purpose, people, and process are prioritized. And what better that an iteration for an iterative existence."		Yes. Information is our abundant resource.

	Laws and regulation are a lack of trust. This lack of trust stems from disproportionate innovation between technological and social means of communication. For example, we can laugh at a video someone posted on the other side of the Earth while we still find it uncomfortable starting a conversation in an elevator with someone that speaks the same language. Effective communication is what separates us from wild animals. We use our ability to communicate best practices, current threats, family history, stories, what is safe to eat, where to find water, sing and so on. Now , an excessive amount is used to gossip, tell lies, deceive nature, and work against the best interest of the entire community.		Laws and regulation are a lack of trust.

	We value spending an endless amount of valuable time and energy talking about, watching, and financially supporting grown able bodied individuals making millions playing professional sports when teachers are asked to take pay cuts and people have to volunteer their time to grow food. We need to value working together for a common cause, not against each other just to see who is stronger or faster.
