Earthquakes happen along vault lines like the San Andres Fault. A fault plane is the surface of a fault fracture along which the

what people are taught even at organizations who train people to do predictive type jobs. But it works for me. Here are my ten guiding principles for accurate prediction: 1. Care about being right. This sounds obvious but circumstances and other requirements often get in the way.
