Manhunt After Police Officer Shot Dead

Mark Smith, chairman of the Essex Police Federation, added that PC Dibell was a "dedicated professional officer who even though off duty, has paid the ultimate sacrifice for his bravery and selfless actions in trying to protect his local community".

Police launched the manhunt after the shootings in Redbridge Road,van cleef and arpels perlee fake bracelet, Clacton, at 3.30pm.

A spokesman said: "Residents are being urged to remain indoors while armed officers locate the gunman.

"Neighbourhood policing officers are maintaining a high profile and visible presence in the community, supporting victims and witnesses.

"Members of the public are urged to contact police on 999 if they see the gunman who should not be approached."

Gary Sanderson, spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service,bracelet fake van cleef alhambra, said: "Sadly on our arrival a man was pronounced dead at the scene and a man has been taken to hospital with minor injuries."

A woman answering the phone at nearby Willow Tree Nursery and Children's Centre,van cleef fake bracelet alhambra, which cares for children aged three months to 12 years, said: "We've just made sure we're secure, which we are anyway.

"The nursery is about to close anyway, the parents are able to get in and out to collect their children."

Adrienne Szabo, 36, a dental nurse in nearby practice Noble Dental Care, said: "We're due to be here until 8 o'clock and have locked the door to make sure we stay safe.

"There are four of us here myself, the dentist,vca fake bracelet, a student dental nurse and the patient so we'll have to make a decision later about what to do.

"I'm checking the internet to see what is happening. The whole thing is frightening."

"Our police officers keep us safe day in and day out and sadly PC Ian Dibell has paid the ultimate price."

Local MP Douglas Carswell said: "This is not Los Angeles or urban London this is Clacton and I think people will be truly shocked and appalled."

Essex Police said the force had received "many phone calls" from members of the public and officers were confident of catching the gunman.

Teams of armed officers were spreading out across the town and a police helicopter has been deployed.

Armed police entered a property in nearby Havering Close shortly before 7.30pm. Dog units were on standby.

At the scene a white tent had been erected in front of a house and more than 13 police vehicles were parked nearby, including a van full of armed officers.

A group of 20 neighbours were led away from nearby houses by forensic officers and gave their details before leaving the scene.

Paul McKeever, chairman of the Police Federation, wrote on Twitter: "Every police officer in the country is thinking of our colleagues in Essex.

"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our colleague who has been killed in Essex. It's a very sad day indeed."

A helicopter remained overhead as more police arrived at the scene.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said the gunman had crashed a car in an alleyway near a local doctor's surgery.

He said doctors later rushed out to help the injured men.

Another neighbour said: "The first indication I had was what sounded like car doors being slammed.

"I thought someone was coming here to the house.

"I went to look out into the street and there were all these police cars. All I could see were police cars and my friends were then phoning me telling me to stay inside and keep my doors and windows locked.

Kasperi Kapanen's goal in double OT lifts Toronto Maple Leafs past Washington Capitals 4

Kasperi Kapanen goal in double OT lifts Toronto Maple Leafs past Washington Capitals 4 3, series tied 1 1Lance Hornby, Postmedia NetworkToronto Maple Leafs' Kasperi Kapanen, right rear, celebrates his goal that beat Capitals netminder Braden Holtby while Toronto defenceman Connor Carrick raises his stick during the second overtime of Game 2 of their first round playoff series in Washington on Saturday night.

They'll go home with the split they so badly wanted, taking the bigger, more seasoned, first place Capitals to double overtime and emerging as 4 3 winners on the second of Kasperi Kapanen's first two NHL playoff goals.

With the Capitals trying to get into beast mode early after starting slow and nearly losing the series opener in OT to underdog Toronto, they came into Game 2 intending to bring out the heavy equipment at home, being physical and grinding the smaller Leafs into the ice.

"We're going to give them a run for their money," Kapanen said of the Presidents' Trophy winners, who entered the playoffs vowing to erase a line of spring flops.

The loss of veteran defenceman Roman Polak in the second period with a season ending ankle injury injury put more heat on the young Leafs, who had to rely on blueliners Martin Marincin, Connor Carrick and Morgan Rielly, all in their first NHL playoffs with six other Toronto forwards. Rielly and Jake Gardiner played 40 plus minutes when Polak went out in the second period, Matt Hunwick 35:19.

"For the next game, we have young legs and a great training staff," Rielly said. "We'll be ready.

"Going home, we look forward to it. We have the best fans in the world and the opportunity to play two home games (Monday and Wednesday) with getting a split here. You can't ask for anything more."

Kapanen ended it at 11:53 of the second overtime, hitting an empty net after a beauty Brian Boyle backhand pass from behind the other side of the cage. Matt Martin had an assist, too, as Toronto's fourth line matched the OT goal by Washington's pluggers in Game 1.

The Leafs came back after the Polak injury on goals by Kapanen and Rielly (also his first playoff goal) to take a 3 2 lead. Nicklas Backstrom tied it late in the third as Washington's top line finally arrived in the series. Alex Ovechkin answered a James van Riemsdyk goal, but was stopped by Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen in the last minute of the first overtime on a breakaway. It was one of 47 Andersen saves, while Braden Holtby made the same. All night, the 19,000 capacity Verizon Center was jangling.

"Great fans here,van cleef arpels clover necklace replica, they had cowbells going if I'm not mistaken,replica van cleef mini alhambra necklace," quipped Rielly. "This was a great atmosphere to play in and that provided a great atmosphere."

The back to back overtimes on the road were the first for the Leafs in a series since splitting at Boston Garden in 1933,replica van necklace.

"We're going to get better and better as this series goes on," Leafs head coach Mike Babcock said.

That will be hard from an own zone perspective without Polak, another injury on defence they can ill afford. With Nikita Zaitsev already on the sidelines, though skating on his own after a suspected concussion, the club lost a player Boyle called "a rock back there."

In full flight with the puck at the Washington blue line, Polak was met by Brooks Orpik, another rough blueliner. Sent spinning, Polak's right skate caught in the ice upon landing and his leg twisted under his body. When he did get off the ice. Polak needed help to the dressing room. He played 75 games this season. a year in which Zaitsev and others appeared in all 82 and the Leafs escaped significant injuries, especially on the blue line. They have Alexey Marchenko in reserve for Game 3 or might call up a member of the AHL'sMarlies.

Both teams had power plays to work with in the first extra frame, with the Capitals getting one after Boyle took down Evgeny Kuznetsov in the corner the kind of non scoring chance not normal in OT. Later, Nazem Kadri goaded Holtby into a slashing call that also could not be converted.

Van Riemsdyk's goal was his first off the playoffs, with Jake Gardiner earning his seventh point in eight career playoff games. The more difficult saves early in the frame were at the other end as Andersen atoned for the Tom Wilson overtime goal in Game 1, stopping a Brett Connolly breakaway. Justin Williams, with two goals in Game 1 in addition to his battlefield experience, said earlier in the day the Caps hope to win that war of attrition.

"The main goal of winning a playoff series is having them realize, 'you know what, this is too hard,' and then you have it won," he said. "We expect a long series every time we come into one and this one is certainly no different and it's going to be a grind."

Marincin, culpable on the Wilson goal that decided Game 1, struggled to clear and then took a penalty, during which Ovechkin got on the board after more than four periods in the series. Zach Hyman left him alone for a one timer only a few seconds into Marincin's sentence.

The fourth line also provided an earlier goal, a Martin feed in front to Kapanen, who spun a five hole backhand past a surprised Holtby. Kapanen had to sweat out a coach's challenge by Barry Trotz that Martin had preceded puck carrier Boyle into the zone. By the thinnest of margins, the goal stood.

Auston Matthews, Toronto's leading regular season sniper, awaits his first NHL playoff point, but not for lack of trying. He had 10 shot attempts, won 11 of 17 faceoffs and had a William Nylander pass go into his skates with a half empty net to shoot at.

"We have to focus on the next game," Holtby said, noting the Caps have rarely played with the lead in this series after playing with it the most this season. "You're not going to win them all,replica vca butterfly necklace, you don't want it to be easy. One of the beautiful things about the playoffs is how hard it is."Glavin: We're shedding idiotic talk about terrorismThe most dramatic event that occurred in Britain this week may or may not have been.

Kuala Lumpur ready to have another go at Razak Cup glory

have, over the last few years, exposed quite a lot of players from the Sukma (Malaysia Games) ranks. Today, many of them have made the national team (both the junior and senior sides). I have nine players who are national team materials. My two goalkeepers are also former National Juniors. So, I believe we have a balanced side to aim for the title,replica alhambra clover necklace, he said.

The national players in the KL ranks are Mohd Ramadan Rosli, Izzat Sumantri, Baljit Singh, Shahril Saabah, Syafiq Sumantri, Mohd Aideed Aiman Rozemi,replica alhambra pendant necklace, Joel van Huizen and Harvinder Singh.

Another fomer international,replica van cleef and arpels white gold alhambra necklace, Mohd Syamin Yusof, is also part of the team. The former National Juniors goalkeepers are Abdul Hakim Adnan and Shahrul Azaddin Auskarzie.

we have a young team ,van cleef and arpels necklace clover replica. but a vastly experienced line up. The target is to go all the way and regain the title. It won be easy as all the other teams will also have a blend of experience and youngsters from their Sukma team.

unexpected win last year will surely encourage others to aim for the title as well, he said.

Malacca, with the bulk of their players coming from the Sukma squad, surprised everyone to win the title when they defeated the vastly experienced Perak team.

Interview with Leslie Harrington

from the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology. Leslie Harrington has been her singing teacher for four years. Together, they have a goal to teach the world to sing. In late July they are offering a five day singing workshop in Taos, New Mexico. The intention of this interview is to acquaint the reader with how Mr. Harrington singing methodology can lead people to enlightenment, as well as to introduce him/her to the structure and format of the workshop itself.)

LESLIE: Before you even ask me any questions, I want tell everyone, singing is such fun! It is the most fun I know, the most fun I ever experienced. It better than sex. Singing is the ultimate act of playing!

BARBARA: What is meant by the title of your workshop Build a Stairway to the Stars The opportunity exists to experience reality in its eternal glory by capable use of the voice. Some cultures call that reality nirvana, others call it enlightenment. One of the benefits of singing is that enlightenment can occur within a relatively short period of time for those open to it. The stairway is learning the steps that will erect the voice for singing. The voice singing is the stars.

BARBARA: I can better understand why a person might want to sing, but why should they spend their time studying singing?

LESLIE: Learning to sing is even more fun than singing itself! I have more fun preparing music than performing it always! The real joy is in the preparation.

Because the body is designed to sing, then it must be a psychic requirement. Singing is not necessary for normal existence, but for spiritual enlightenment, vocalization with inspiration is requisite. The most fun I know is singing with inspiration.

All of the emotional experiences of humankind are most clearly expressed in song. When a person sings, they touch the fundamental core of their being and access their deepest emotions. Singing is a necessary element of the fulfilled personal experience.

The vocal process is a complex system which requires conscious understanding of the involved reflexive structures. Though vocalizing is a reflexive function, our socialization process can establish habitual patterns antithetical to it. As a result, our singing voice gets covered up with the of life, rather than being a true expression of who we are. Studying singing can over ride habits and restore a person instinctual vocal freedom.

The impediments culture places upon the voice can be corrected and controlled by learning vocal technique,replica clover necklace brand.

BARBARA: What do you mean by vocal technique?

Vocal technique is using the voice with control. The method used here employs the reflexes of the tongue, and the breath. The breath is the source of inspiration, which means breathing in. The tongue is the reflexive control center. Learning and controlling the reflexive triggering mechanisms of the breath and the tongue provides conscious control of the voice. This is vocal technique.

LESLIE: The body is a system of erectile functions. For example, we erect our spine to stand. The voice erects in much the same fashion. When a person sings, the voice erects the body into vocal posture. This erection is reflexive in nature.

There are three master vocal communication reflexes: "Conversation", "Screaming", and "Calling". "Conversation" is the one most commonly used. "Screaming" is used as a warning sending people away, and "Calling" is a beckoning inviting people to gather. "Calling" is the reflexive structure most effectively used in singing and orating. When used as an added benefit, the complete tonal range of the voice is available when "Calling" is employed.

Remarkably I found that the tongue, the palate, and the torso contain the reflexive points of the tonal musical scale; meaning the body has the musical scale built in in several locales. These structures are assembled with coordination into vocal erection. Because of this discovery about this innate or built in scalar structure, I learned that the ability to inflect intent in melody is available to all. Joy,van cleef and arpels clover necklace replica, grief, ecstasy, astonishment, all the greatest emotions now become our tools of grace.

BARBARA: Is there a therapeutic benefit to singing?

LESLIE: Culture and society instill inhibitions which block our instinctive responses. Singing restores our instinctual abilities, which can then over ride cultural/societal habits. Learning to sing, then, provides a means of accessing our emotions, which are also reflexive. As a result, singing can help create emotional balance in the singer.

Singing also teaches another order of time, which is an emotional relief. Time is an artificial construct, which is hard to escape from. The reality is that everything is now. Rhythm, tempo, and speed changes result in a of time. Music also exists in another order of time which reconstructs our experiences and memories and allows us to exist out of ordinary time temporarily. . This is also true of music in general.

Through the process of singing, a personal core value structure is established. This happens in part through the resurrection of the instinctive expressive function. Singing also develops self awareness, as the singer must tune into the deepest parts of his/her body in order to coordinate the reflexive functions needed for singing.

Increased self esteem is another therapeutic benefit of singing. This occurs as the singer perfects the means to use the vocal function as it is designed to be used. The singer can respect their self more for what he/she can do as a result of mastering the use of the vocal process.

BARBARA: You mentioned that singing can lead to spiritual enlightenment. Would you please say more about that?

LESLIE: The voice is ultimately the center of awareness. It is the first expression of each of us at birth. The first time we utter a sound is when we are born. That first utterance, which is usually a scream, is made because we want to breathe. That scream is the first issuance of self, and of self awareness. Through our individual awareness of self in our first utterance,replica sweet alhambra necklace, we tap into the power of the universal utterance of existence. Enlightenment may be achieved by learning to become the instrument of the universal utterance in song.

BARBARA: How did you discover this method you teach?

LESLIE: I was gifted with a fully functioning singing voice. As a result, singers who were not as facile with the use of their voice regularly came to me and asked how I did what I did. I sincerely tried to help. I must commend all those who asked,replica mother of pearl van cleef necklace, because their questions encouraged me to examine what I was doing in order to produce the sounds I was making. As a result, I studied pedagogy along with the biomechanics of the body. I tested my methodology out on students and I can say with complete assurance that any student who works with this method can also have a fully functioning singing voice.

BARBARA: How will you conduct your workshop? What can the reader expect to have happen when they attend?

LESLIE: First of all, I want the participants to have fun while they are learning something new. In the morning, the participants will be experiencing dynamic meditations, which include dancing and production of sound. The meditations are designed to open the chakras, enabling the person to experience the vertical core of their being, which prepares them for singing. After the dynamic meditations, two hours will be given to learning inspirational methodology. A pianist will be present to accompany all singers throughout the week. I will also coach each participant individually on their song(s). By the end of the week each participant will be able to successfully sing two songs of their choosing.

BARBARA: Can participants continue the work they begin in your workshop once they leave?

LESLIE: Absolutely! Through the internet with a webcam and microphone, I offer intimate instruction in the privacy of their home. We can view each other and converse live. For more information, please visit my website. Also, out of town visitors are always welcome to work with me in my studio.

BARBARA: Before we close, I would like to hear more about your goal to teach the world to sing.

LESLIE: This gift comes to me with requirements. I cannot imagine anyone in the world not being as fulfilled as I am. In my studies and experience I have come to understand that human beings are designed to sing and are not fulfilled until they do. All artists can find spiritual enlightenment through their work, but what is special about singing is that it is accessible to all because they are designed for it.

Kristen Bell loves that the dialogue in

truth, I swear a lot, said Bell, whose series is in the midst of its fifth season, airing on The Movie Network in Canada and channel of origin Showtime in the United States.

use a lot of language, not all of it is clean. I don't mean it in an offensive way, I simply use colourful language. I also use a lot of crazy adjectives.

don't find that a lot of people edit out their swear words during the day, unless you in a business setting. These people (the main characters in House of Lies) are harsh and edgy and severe,van cleef and arpels necklace clover replica, and their language mirrors that. in some ways the dialogue on TV has caught up to real life.

cable television has, Bell agreed. can drop your guard and write how humans talk. You don't have to deal with the censorship issues you have on network.

yes, Bell said. would dominate. on a group of cutthroat management consultants, House of Lies stars Bell as Jeannie van der Hooven,van cleef & arpels alhambra necklace replica, Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan, Ben Schwartz as Clyde Oberholt and Josh Lawson as Doug Guggenheim.

As maniacally driven and greedy as Jeannie, Marty, Clyde and Doug can be, they often form the cumulative voice of reason for clients who might be successful and rich on the one hand, but are frighteningly flaky on the other.

What I'm saying is, if House of Lies has taught me anything, it's that super high achieving people are also nuts. Bell laughed when I said that, but she didn't disagree.

think you're spot on, Bell said. really do.

think that anyone who achieves there are enigmas, of course but anyone who achieves greatness or massive success has probably done it by seeing the world in a different way. They have different glasses than the rest of us, and usually that means they're a little bit nuts. Their priorities are different. They're not the norm.

think highly successful people see the world differently. And if you see the world differently, you're often a bit crazy or eccentric. of course, has been a well known showbiz fixture for a dozen years now, going back to the debut of her TV series Veronica Mars in 2004.

Bell recently has been linked to a new NBC sitcom called Good Place, from Parks and Recreation co creator Mike Schur, in which she will co star with Ted Danson. But that is not expected to interfere with Bell's work on House of Lies, if in fact that show is granted a sixth season.

feel like there's much more story to tell (in House of Lies), particularly because Jeannie and Marty have just had this baby, Bell said. we all know, having kids embarks you on an entirely different journey. It's a time when your personal interests and professional interests hit a collision point and you have to make a lot of tough decisions about who you want to be.

I feel like there's plenty of story left to tell and certainly hope that it goes on. I also love working on this show. I love these people and this part, so I don't ever want it to end. Kristen Bell gets to swear on camera in House of Lies. Who could f ask for anything more?

London mother and daughter living in a Mini tell how they once had a

They once lived in a lavish five bed property in a desirable area of north London, complete with a swimming pool, a third of an acre of land and a view of a sprawling golf course.

But for the past 13 months, 72 year old Louise and her daughter Laura, 38, have been living in a cramped, 11 year old Mini, in an incredible fall from grace which has seen them sneaking into McDonald's just so they can brush their teeth.

The mother and daughter now spend their days driving around residential roads in Barnet, north London, trying to find places to park their makeshift home.

Scroll down for video

Louise, 72 (left) and her daughter Laura, 38, (right) have spent the past 13 months living in a cramped Mini after being evicted from their home when they fell into rent arrears. They say they are in a 'desperate' situation

Their nights are spent huddled beneath old blankets in a unlit supermarket car park, where they try to squeeze in four hours' sleep before the day's deliveries begin.

Louise and Laura now face another harsh winter and another lonely Christmas living out of their rusty convertible and say they have reached the point of desperation.

The shocking riches to rags tale has striking similarities to the new film starring Maggie Smith, The Lady in a Van, which features a homeless woman who parked her camper in Alan Bennett's driveway.

'It was absolutely freezing last night,' Louise tells MailOnline. 'My knees get so painful it's not just the cold, but being all cramped up as well.

'I can't live like this it's no life. I promised myself I would end my life in the sunshine. I simply can't see any way out.'

Their current plight is a million miles from the somewhat glamorous existent they previously enjoyed in the affluent neighbourhood of Hadley Wood.

But after more than a year of effectively living on the streets,replica van cleef and arpels alhambra diamond necklace, the two women have honed their lifestyle into a military operation.

They know exactly where and when they can park without being fined or moved on and they have a trusty list of hotels, cafes and restaurants where they can use the facilities, free of charge.

They also rely on the kindness of pseudo strangers to help them with everyday needs. They are on first name terms with a worker at McDonald's who sometimes gives them reduced price hot drinks, while another friend, who works as a hairdresser, washes and dyes their hair when needed.

Laura, pictured washing her face, says they have to sneak into private businesses to use the toilets and wash

Louise and Laura tend to eat just one meal a day and even ration their drinking so they do not end up needing the toilet at inconvenient times.

When night falls, they drive to a supermarket car park where they drift off to sleep 'with one eye open',van cleef diamond necklace replica, amid fears of being targetted. With hardly any room in which to recline their seats, they sleep almost upright in repetitive discomfort.

Then, as staff start to arrive in the early hours, they drive off to another car park where they can stay until office workers park up for the day's work.

By that time, Laura says they are 'bursting' for the toilet and will make their way to a cafe or hotel to use the facilities and, occasionally, rinse their clothes.

Showering takes place simply as and when they can pluck up the courage to ask a friend to use their bathroom. Otherwise, they clean themselves with wipes while sat in their car in a routine which Louise describes as 'humiliating'.

'It really is just horrible. It's embarrassing to even admit it. Being dirty is my worst fear. It's not ever where we imagined ourselves to be,van cleef arpels alhambra necklace replica,' Laura said.

But where they can get a decent shower is the least of their problems. The pair also have to battle the cold, which is made all the harder due to Louise's arthritis. In a desperate attempt to combat the pain,replica van cleef necklace wholesale, she keeps a pair of old pink slippers next to the pedals which she puts on between driving.

'We sometimes put the heating on in the car, but we try not to very often because we don't want to waste petrol,' Laura said.

Their car a 2005 Mini which they have owned for several years is rammed full of blankets, which sit beside bags of dirty washing and worn clothing.

I can't live like this. It's no life. I promised myself I would end my life in the sunshine

Louise, 72, who lives in a car

They carry these around until a friend offers up a washing machine.

There's no sign of photo albums apparently left with friends while their valuables and furniture were sold off years ago in a bid to give the couple a bit of extra cash.

Laura said: 'It's pretty much all our belongings just cramped into the boot of this car. All mum's jewellery and other possessions were sold off years ago. This is pretty much what we have left.'

How the Dutch confront the rise of the oceans

Windmills are more than just a traditional part of the Dutch landscape; they have played a key role in the war the Dutch have been waging against the ocean for the past thousand years. Our Cover Story is reported by Martha Teichner:

The windmills at Kinderdijk were built nearly 300 years ago, to pump water out of the surrounding farmland. But the Dutch have been outsmarting the water that's everywhere around them for a thousand years,

A massive storm surge barrier called the Maeslantkering, or Maeslant Barrier, was completed in 1997, to protect Rotterdam, Europe's largest port. It's equal in size to two Eiffel Towers, on their sides.

A massive storm surge barrier called the Maeslantkering,replica van cleef onyx necklace, or Maeslant Barrier,replica vans necklace, was completed in 1997 to protect Rotterdam, Europe's largest port.

"This Maeslant Barrier is really here to safeguard us for the future," said Henk Ovink. He is water envoy for the King of the Netherlands a water ambassador,quatrefoil necklace van cleef replica, if you will.

The Dutch are the world's go to water management experts. Ovink spent two years working in areas hit by Superstorm Sandy. "I said [to them], 'Did you think of preventing the disaster?' And they were like, 'Preventing the disaster? No, we couldn't. No, we have to make sure that we respond faster.' And I said, 'But suppose that there is no disaster because you prepared better?'"

Who doesn't know the fable about the little Dutch boy who plugged the hole in a dike with his finger and saved his country?

What really happened taught the Netherlands about preparedness. A ferocious North Sea storm in January 1953 flooded 500 square miles and killed more than 1,800 people. The Dutch built themselves a fortress of flood protection.

Today, the Netherlands considers itself protected against a 10,000 year storm, in part thanks to research done by Deltares, a gee whiz kind of place, with the largest wave machine in the world.

At their experimental facility, they can test structures that protect against the coast from ocean waves.

The largest wave machine in the world, at the Deltares engineering facility.

Deltares has worked with clients in 140 different countries, including the United States. Ap van Dongeren, a coastal flooding expert with Deltares, says all of their designs are assuming a rise in sea levels. "And that will come with higher waves, so you have to figure that all into your design," he said.

Sea levels in Holland are expected to rise more than three feet by the end of the century. This projection prompted the Dutch government so used to walling water out at all costs to rethink, and let the water in instead.

"For the Dutch, this is a revolution the idea that you're safer by lowering the dikes? This is extraordinary," said journalist Tracy Metz.

In her latest book, Metz, a longtime Netherlands resident, tells the story of how the farmers of Overdiepse Polder voluntarily agreed to give up their land so that it could become a spillway for a nearby river when it floods, in order to protect cities and towns downstream.

For Nol Hooijmaiers, it was a sacrifice with a silver lining. Huge mounds were constructed, so that he and a few of his neighbors were able to build brand new farms high above the floodplain.

"So you're happy, not angry?" aske dTeichner.

"Everybody is happy, ja," he replied.

Learning to accommodate water has led to innovation, for example: The Sand Engine (), a 24 million ton pile of sand dumped off Holland's south coast. Nature was the engine that spread it into a flood barrier and a beach.

Jim Murley, the man in charge of confronting Miami Dade County's water issues, and who has consulted Dutch engineers, says parts of the Dutrch model are applicable elsewhere. "Just the way they go about thinking about managing water, how they use their land,replica van cleef rose gold necklace, creates a mindset," he said.

In South Florida, flooding has become a regular occurrence. According to current estimates, sea levels here will rise as much as six feet by the end of the century. At stake: trillions of dollars of real estate and more than seven million lives.

So at a vulnerable Miami waste water treatment plant, critical infrastructure is being rebuilt higher.

"We want to be sure that this facility will withstand a storm surge," Murley said.

In Miami Beach, streets are being raised 2.5 feet. A new art museum in downtown Miami is designed so flood water can flush through its foundation.

Murley said, "We're starting to think about how we might develop in the future, if we were having to live with water like the Dutch are."

Like Rotterdam, where there is a floating conference center surrounded by floating trees; and Amsterdam, with its whole neighborhood of floating houses.
