He was born on 17th September 1917 at Choron near Czestochowa and joined the training school in Bydgoszcz in 1934; he qualified as an aircraft mechanic in 1937. His initial posting was to the 2nd Air Regiment in Krakow attached to 121 Fighter Squadron. His unit was involved in the September Campaign until they were evacuated to Romania, crossing the border on 17th September 1939.
His escape route is unclear but he travelled to Beirut and probably took ship from there until he reached France. He was sent to the Armee de l'Air base at Lyon-Bron and was utilised as a mechanic with the fighter group. On the capitulation of France he made his way to England, possibly via St Jean de Luz on the Basque coast, just north of the Spanish border. He arrived in England in early July 1940.
He was posted to 304 Squadron, where he trained as a fitter, and stayed with them until January 1943 when he began training as a flight engineer. On completion of this course, six months later, he was posted to 138 (Special Duties) Squadron based at RAF Tempsford in Bedfordshire. This was very hazardous duty but he completed a tour of duty with them in June 1944, comprising 28o hours flown on 28 missions.
After only one week of rest he was posted to 1586 Flight of 301 Squadron as a mechanic on B-24 Liberators (also Special Duties) until 14th March 1945 when he was posted to 4 School of Technical Training at RAF St Athan near Cardiff, Wales as an instructor.
On 3rd January 1946 he returned to 304 Squadron as a pilot. By this time they were part of Transport Command and based at RAF Chedburgh in Suffolk where their duties involved flying supplies to Italy and Greece and bringing back released prisoners of war. One source suggests that on 30th November 1946 he was transferred to 301 Transport Squadron. If true it seems pointless as both squadrons were disbanded in December 1946. It seems more likely that he was transferred to the Polish Resettlement Corps as he was not demobilised until 1948.
He was awarded the Silver Cross of the Order of Virtuti Militari, the Cross of Valour, the Partisan Cross and the Air Medal. After his discharge he was awarded the civilian version of the Silver Cross of Merit for his welfare work in the Polish community.
As a civilian, he emigrated to Canada and went to work as a mechanic and then for Air Canada. He died on 15th May 1997 at Montreal and was buried in the Field of Honour in the Veterans Cemetery at Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada.

Splink 1:
Sign on the Dotted Line
Make a covenant with each of your kids. So what is a covenant, you ask? A covenant is an agreement or a promise between two people. It's kind of like a contract.
Think of something you would like to do for your child and write it down on a piece of paper. (I promise to take you to the mall on Friday. I promise to buy you an ice cream cone. I promise to make a special dessert for dinner. Etc. ) Write "Covenant between ______ and ______" at the top of the paper.
When you keep your promise, talk about it. (Even if something comes up and you can't do it exactly when promised, try to do it later. Or it can be an object lesson that people sometimes make promises that they fail to keep. A sad lesson for all of us to learn.)
What covenant did God make with Abraham? (That the whole world would be blessed through him; that his descendants would be as many as the stars in the sky; etc.)
Even though people had to wait a long time, God kept His promise and sent Jesus to the earth (as a descendant of Abraham) and he has blessed us all! God always keeps His promises!
Splink 2:
Faith in What?
Hop on the kitchen table and say:
I think this table will take us to the store. Hop on. Do you believe that? Why not?
It would be silly to believe that this table would get us to the store.
Go outside to the car and say:
I think this car will take us to the store. Do you? Why? (It runs well; it has taken us lots of places before; it has proven itself reliable; etc.)
Hop in the car and take a spin to the store—buy a treat or what is needed while you're there.
Say something like this:
It is important where we put our faith. It is not enough to just believe. Faith must be in a reliable source. Some people put their faith in things or false gods that will NOT get them to heaven.
How do we know that God is reliable? (He has told us about Himself in the Bible; He sent Jesus to the earth to show us what He is like; millions of people over hundreds of years have put their faith in Him and we have their word that He is reliable; etc.)
Just as Abraham believed God and followed Him, we can believe in and follow the one true God.
Splink: 3
Claim One
Choose several Bible promises (from a Bible promise book or Google Bible promises or use the following promises) and write each one on a slip of paper.
- Isaiah 41:10—(I will be with you and help you.)
- 1 John 1:9—(I will forgive your sin when you confess.)
- Jeremiah 33:3—(I will answer and show you great and mighty things.)
- John 14:3—(I will prepare a place for you and bring you to be with me.)
Hide them around the house and invite the kids to find them. Read the promises aloud and allow the kids to choose (and claim) one they like for themselves.
God made a covenant with Abraham and Abraham believed that God would keep His word. God promised Abram and Sarah a baby. Even though they had to wait a long time, God kept His word. He is reliable! God will keep His promises to us!

Spring is finally here and I love the fresh flavors, especially lemon. I discovered these tasty little treats on Stephanie's Kitchen. They are mini pound cakes with lemon and lime juices and the zest too. Then they have a lemon/lime drizzle. Yummy! They are perfect for a night when you want just a little something after dinner.They would also be perfect for a brunch or with some kind of egg entree in for breakfast. My kids kept coming back and popping up for one more until there were no leftovers. You can also make them in a regular muffin tin if you would like them more like cupcakes. If you didn't want to do the drizzle you could dip them in melted butter and then some sugar.

Thank you in advance.
I have a Bain final round on Friday in the Chicago office. What can I expect? Fit and Cases with partners?
Thank you in advance.
The general structure is the same, however, at the final round, I would expect a bit more structured and demanding approach to the fit part. The partners in the last round are more experienced and they may challenge every single detail of your story.
Also, make sure that you've prepared the good questions to them
Hi Anonymous,
the structure of the final round is the same as the first one (fit + case+ your questions); however, there is far more emphasis on communication and fit.
Specifically, the main difference you will find in a final round with partners is that at that stage they:
So in order to prepare I would concentrate on:
The case study is the most important element of the case interview, which you'll have to nail in order to get into strategic consulting. Here you can learn the specific skills and concepts necessary to solve them.
Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly

Ten Politics K-12 Headlines You Probably Won't See in 2018
"Congress Approves $20 Billion Voucher Program With AFT's Backing" and other education stories you likely won't see in 2018.
"Congress Approves $20 Billion Voucher Program With AFT's Backing" and other education stories you likely won't see in 2018.
ESSA feedback from DeVos' team has come at a rapid pace this month, with California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas among the states to get critiques of their plans from the department.
Our most-read posts from 2017 included news about Betsy DeVos' confirmation hearings, changes to Every Student Succeeds Act guidelines, and a golden oldie: the Common Core State Standards.
Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas need to make some big improvements to their plans to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act features shake-ups to how state and local taxes are treated, changes to savings plans that let them be used for private school, and more.
Overall, 67 percent of those surveyed by the Education Week Research Center had an unfavorable opinion of Trump, but 72 percent said they didn't like DeVos.
All five states have work to do on the nuts-and-bolts of their ESSA accountability plans, the Trump education department says.
The Education Department's budget request includes terms like "evidence-based," "vulnerable", and "diversity," at least three of the seven words the Center for Disease Control has been reportedly banned from using.
Millions of children and families may be left in limbo if Congress does not fund the Children's Health Insurance Program by the end of the calendar year.
Florida, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Washington, West Virginia, have some big improvements to make on their plans to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act.
Are private schools poised to benefit at the expense of low-income students, thanks to the GOP tax bill? One supporter of school choice says yes.
The Senate parliamentarian ruled that a provision in the GOP tax bill giving a tax advantage to money saved for home schooling costs violated Senate rules.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos highlighted public, charter, religious, and home schooling Tuesday in a wide-ranging summit about how to "Rethink K-12 Education."
State plans for implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act don't do enough to make sure schools are held accountable for the performance of historically disadvantaged groups of students, the advocacy group says.
Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming are the latest states to receive feedback on their plans for implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act.
The biggest change for schools in the GOP tax reform plan involves state and local taxes and could have a significant impact on school funding. Here's how.
After extensive negotiations, a congressional conference committee has agreed to a final tax reform bill that could impact state and local funding and teachers' pocketbooks, as well as school choice.
Both states and Puerto Rico have some work to do to improve their plans for implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
A former staffer for Virginia Rep. Bobby Scott, the top Democrat on the House education committee, alleged in news conference that he made inappropriate sexual advances to her several years ago.
U.S. Secretary Betsy DeVos and her team will be taking a second look at regulations for the part of the Every Student Succeeds Act that deals with accountability, testing, standards, and more.
Thursday marked five years since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Asked about how to prevent such incidents in the future, Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded by discussing efforts to tighten border security.
Maryland's plan to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act needs improvement when it comes to identifying low-performing schools, setting goals, and more, the U.S. Department of Education says.
Nearly every state included some sort of strategy to beef up career readiness in its plan to implement the Every Student Succeeds Act, according to
"Educator Political Perceptions: A National Survey" is a just-released poll of the nation's educators from the Education Week Research Center.
Democrats attempted unsuccessfully to restore provisions governing teacher preparation into the GOP-backed PROSPER Act, as well as grant and loan programs that involve teachers.
States fell short on setting goals, figuring how to fix struggling schools, and making school ratings systems understandable to parents, a Bellwether Education Partners analysis concluded.
President Donald Trump has tapped Frank Brogan, who served as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's lieutenant governor, as assistant secretary of elementary and secondary education.
Lawmakers say they support the program for children who aren't covered by Medicaid, but they haven't come up with a funding plan since federal funds ran out Sept. 30.
The Minnesota Democrat and member of the Senate education committee announced Wednesday that he was stepping down in the face of allegations that he sexually harassed multiple women.
School districts wondering about the legal implications of a major special education court case now have some help from the U.S. Department of Education.
The Republican bill to reauthorize the Higher Education Act would end two types of loan forgiveness that teachers can currently use, including Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos used the PIRLS results to make the case that American education needs a shake-up. Meanwhile, her reaction to the increase in graduation rates was more muted, especially compared to the Obama administration's.
Among those saying the Minnesota Democrat should step down in light of sexual harassment allegations is Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., the ranking member of the Senate education committee.
Democrats on the Senate education committee had some tough questions for President Donald Trump's picks to head up civil rights and special education policy at the U.S. Department of Education.
On Dec. 1, we spoke with the island's Secretary of Education Julia Keleher about the state of K-12 there, and she gave us an update.
The Senate's passage of a tax overhaul bill featured some late-night, dramatic moments concerning school choice, religious instruction, and a private college linked to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
The Senate's version of a tax overhaul package contains potential changes for how teachers do their taxes, for state and local education funding, and other issues related to schools.
A House bill contains significant changes to how high school students apply for federal aid for college, as well as the information about colleges provided by the federal government to prospective students and their families.

|Mom's Secret to Perfect Cocktails
Secret #1: Tonic Water
To quote my mother, grocery store tonic water is "garbage." Most brands contain ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup or saccharin. However, my mom makes her drinks without these unhealthy ingredients. Her tonic water of choice is Fever Tree, which uses small specialist suppliers to obtain natural ingredients of the highest quality. Fever-Tree continually wins taste awards and is the tonic water chosen by most top restaurants in the world. Their Naturally Light Indian Tonic Water is spectacular and provides the ultimate Gin and Tonic experience.
Hendricks and Fever Tree G&T
- 1 part Hendrick's Gin
- 2 parts Fever Tree Naturally Light Indian Tonic Water
- Cucumber spears
- In chilled glass, pour gin over ice and,mix well
- Add tonic water, mix lightly
- Garnish with cucumber

Secret #2: Sweet & Sour Mix
Did you know that the drinks you order out might not be vegan? Daily's Sweet and Sour Drink Mix contains nonfat milk solids. Other popular brands contain yellow food coloring, artificial flavors, and of course, high fructose corn syrup. Want a better option? Try Ripe BarJuice's Agave Lemon Sour. Its ingredients: water, fresh pressed lemon juice, organic agave nectar. That's it. With a mixer this natural it's no wonder Mom's Vodka Collins taste so fresh!

|René van Alphen
What in the world is Traveling Light up to, this time? Haha, well, we like a joke and we like practical thinking and acting. Hair dresser René van Alpen (Rene Professional) loves to be practical as well, so it's no wonder we get along pretty good!
Do you remember how René (from hair salon Acoli Elite in Breda) cut off Jan's ponytail last year, and how that raised 2,500 euro for the sponsoring of the annual Teen Challenge conference in the Ukraine? That was a great fundraiser.
This time René had another idea. He donated five heads for the salon in the Ark in the Negev, the women's home of Teen Challenge in Israel.
|Polly, director of the Ark
The salon is being managed by volunteers. They teach the women in the program (who often lived on the streets for a long time) how to be a hair dresser. The heads they use for practicing purposes are quite expensive, so we were happy to take the heads René donated and bring 'm to Israel on our current trip over there.
Polly, the director of the Ark, was pleasantly surprised, as you can see in the picture. She placed the heads (for a while, at least) on the jewelry table... Jewelry made by volunteers and ladies in the program. Sales help to keep the house open.
We have an idea to help Polly with the jewelry, so keep an eye on this blog.
One of the volunteers currently working in the Ark is Pia Bakker from The Netherlands. She did a DTS training at YWAM and is now volunteering for three months in Israel.
She offered to cut Jan's hair and while doing so she explained everything she did to one of the women in the program. Pia did her work with much love and passion. We just LOVE to see that in young people!
It is really an encouragement for us to see a young girl like Pia stepping out in faith and offering her time and talents as a volunteer, towards women who have been living a hard life on the streets.
|Volunteer Pia Bakker
Well, it is clear that offering practical help can be very rewarding and fun. We get to meet interesting people and we can always find a way to encourage them!
Personal attention, small scale projects, direct help, building relationships... these are all key words that describe the ministry of Traveling Light.
We are currently fundraising for our project heater Teen Challenge Poland. The new heater will keep the men's rehabilitation center in Lekini warm during winter!
If you love what we do, please help us to move forward and send your donation to RABO bank number 1185 82 275 St. Traveling Light, Papendrecht. IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275 BIC: RABONL2U

I'm a little concerned with the characters your identifying with throughout this story. Shuggar is a horrible person. Sorry for the delay in his story but I really don't think you would want to identify with him.

I love villains! They allow a safe expression of people's inner anger without having to apply it in real life. As far as comics go, it's good to be bad!

Let's just hope the worlds that people create don't actually exist somewhere. Think of the horror you may have unleashed on people when one of these characters is introduced.

Yeah, I'm with Thomas. Villains are more interesting than heroes. Except little. He's a sidekick like no other.

Hello Mr. One, glad to see you join our conversation. Interesting that you are in agreement, but I think there's quite a few heroes that seem to go against that philosophy. Most of the current movie characters actually.

There are always passing trends when it comes to kitchen design, but natural granite work surfaces are one thing that transcends all trends and fads. Granite is a timeless classic that just cannot fail to make your kitchen look great, no matter your taste.
Granite is a naturally formed igneous rock, made from lava which cooled and set millions of years ago. It consists mainly of quartz, mica and feldspar. Because it's so hard, it is often used in buildings but this toughness is also great for kitchen worktops.
Here are some features of a natural granite work surface:
- Because it's naturally forming, no two pieces of granite will ever be the same. This means your granite worktops will be truly unique to you.
- Granite is hard-wearing and durable so it's perfect for work surfaces. It doesn't scratch easily so you don't need to worry about accidental slips while you're chopping food. That said, it's always best to use a chopping board as like all natural products, granite can always have weak points.
- Granite worksurfaces are easy to clean and maintain provided you follow some simple guidelines. This makes it fairly low maintenance on a day-to-day basis which is good news for those of us who don't enjoy spending hours cleaning the kitchen!
- Granite is available in a range of naturally-occurring colours, depending on which minerals were present millions of years ago when the lava cooled. These range from pink and grey right through to blue, brown and black.
- Granite is extremely heat resistant, so you don't need to worry about those hot pots and pans when you're cooking. Of course, as mentioned above any natural product like this can always have weak points so it is always advisable to place a trivet or mat on your granite worksurface before putting down any pots and pans. But if you forget once in a while, it won't be the end of the world.
- Once sealed (which we do with every granite work surface we supply and fit) granite is impervious and practically stain proof. It's always important to clear up any spills quickly though, especially acidic substances like orange juice which can cause a problem if left on your granite worksurface and not cleaned up immediately.
Where else can you use granite in the home?
Granite is incredibly versatile and as long as it's sealed to protect it, it can be used in numerous different places around the home:
- Bathroom countertops
- Desks
- Wall coverings
- Shower rooms
- Sinks and basins
- Flooring
Get in touch with Margrasil to chat about whether granite is the best choice for your kitchen worksurfaces.

While hanging out in a Facebook group over the course of a few hours, I noticed this question asked several times: "How should I price my Kindle book?" The options for Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system can be confusing unless you approach Kindle pricing from a strategic position.
The powers that be over at Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing are smart. They initially set up the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) program to sell competitively priced eBooks. They knew that if they put the power of pricing eBooks into the hands of the authors and publishers, they could end up with any range of prices. After all, eBooks on websites have been priced $97, and sometimes even higher. To keep people from running wild pricing eBooks way beyond their real market value, KDP decided to offer authors and publishers an incentive. And no incentive is as good as money. [Read more…]

Tuileries Garden Paris
The Tuileries Garden – Jardin des Tuileries, is a public garden located between the Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Created by Catherine de' Medici as the garden of the Tuileries Palace in 1564, it was eventually opened to the public in 1667 and became a public park after the French Revolution. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it was a place where Parisians celebrated, met, strolled, and relaxed. The gardens showcase a collection of twenty-one statues by Aristide Maillol. There are also two museums in the gardens including the The Orangerie mostly famous for its Claude Monet's water lilies. The collection includes works by Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Amedeo Modigliani.
The beautiful Jardin des Tuileries are located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, they were opened to the public after the French Revolution.The famous gardener of King Louis XIV, André Le Nôtre, re-landscaped the gardens in 1664 to give them their current French formal garden style.
Jardin du Carrousel
In the 18th century it was used as a parade ground for cavalry and other festivities. The central feature is the Arc de triomphe du Carrousel, built to celebrate the victories of Napoleon.
Moat of Charles V
Two stairways descend from the Terrasse to the moat named for Charles V of France. Since 1994 the moat has been decorated with statues from the facade of the old Tuileries Palace.
Grand Carré of the Tuileries
The Grand Carré (Large Square) is the eastern, open part of the Tuilieries garden, which still follows the formal plan of the Garden à la française created by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century.
The eastern part of the Grand Carré, surrounding the round pond, was the private garden of the king under Louis Philippe and Napoleon III, separated from the rest of the Tuileries by a fence.
Most of the statues in the Grand Carré were put in place in the 19th century.
Le Grand Couvert of the Tuileries
The Grand Couvert is the part of the garden covered with trees. The two cafes in the Grand Couvert are named after two famous cafes once located in the garden; the café Very, which had been on the terrace des Feuiillants in the 18th–19th century; and the café Renard, which in the 18th century had been a popular meeting place on the western terrace.
The Grand Couvert also contains the two exedres, low curving walls built to display statues, which survived from the French Revolution. They were built in 1799 by Jean Charles Moreau. They are now decorated with plaster casts of moldings on mythological themes from the park of Louis XIV at Marly.
The Grand Couvert contains a number of important works of the 20th century and contemporary sculpture
Orangerie, Jeu de Paume, and West Terrace of the Tuileries
The Orangerie (Musée de l'Orangerie), at the west end of the garden close to the Seine, was built in 1852 by the architect Firmin Bourgeois. Since 1927 it has displayed the series Water Lilies by Claude Monet. It also displays the Walter-Guillaume collection of Impressionist painting
On the terrace of the Orangerie are four works of sculpture by Auguste Rodin: Le Baiser (1881–1898); Eve (1881) and La Grande Ombre (1880) and La Meditation avc bras (1881–1905). It also has a modern work, Grand Commandement blanc (1986) by Alain Kirili.
The Jeu de Paume (Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume) was built in 1861 was the architect Viraut, and enlarged in 1878. In 1927 it became an annex of the Luxembourg Palace Museum for the display of contemporary art from outside France. From 1947 until 1986, it served as the Musée du Jeu de Paume, which held many important Impressionist works now housed in the Musée d'Orsay. Today, the Jeu de Paume is used for exhibits of modern and contemporary art.
On the terrace in front of the Jeu de Paume is a work of sculpture, Le Bel Costumé (1973) by Jean Dubuffet.

Saturdays are by far my favourite day here in London. Not only is it a day to spend traipsing about London, but it means a trip to Broadway Market (Leah's written about the market before). Once we've had a bite to eat, picked up bread, and had some brilliant coffee, we then decide what produce to buy. This is usually a random, higgledy-piggledy affair and involves us trying to figure out what we'll eat over the coming week. Needless to say, it's always interesting.
Absolutely beautiful, vibrant (and highly photogenic!), fresh rhubarb. I couldn't resist. Leah made crumble (one of my favourites) and delicate, little tarts. Sadly, rhubarb is quickly being replaced by English asparagus which has just come into season, but I'm hoping we'll find some more this Saturday.
A lovely, purple flowering broccoli which, sadly, was forgotten and rescued from the back of the fridge half-way through the week. Although not much worse for wear, it had lost some of its original crispness and as such, was eaten with a simple, lovely pasta. If anyone has suggestions on how to cook it, please leave a note in the comments.
Gorgeous, crusty cheese which was eaten with crackers, cornichons and bits of spicy salami. We typically end up browsing and grazing at the market's many food stalls, so this was the perfect snack once we'd come back from the market.
And lastly, luscious green beans. These were prepared simply and delicious, letting the flavour of the beans come through. Quickly blanched and then tossed them in a French mustard dressing. Brilliant.

The new challenge at Path of Positivity follows the theme of Faith. Details of this month's sponsors and the rules of the challenge can be found on the challenge post here. I have used an image from one of the sponsors for the challenge opening and will be using an image from another sponsor for the midway point of the challenge.
For this card, I have used an image from Fresh Brewed Designs called Christmas Candles. The sentiment is from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and is a quote by Helen Keller. The paper is from a Christmas paper pad. I also used some Christmas coloured mesh ribbon over the top. The die is from Tattered Lace - I added some copic marker G000 around the edge of the die. I also used copic markers to colour the image.
I am entering my card into these challenges:

- Overcome my fear of numbers... and by numbers I mean my bank account and my weight. I never like looking at my bank account number because the number is constantly going down and I hate looking at my weight because it is constantly going up... so I am hoping this year my fear of numbers will go away because my bank account will creep up and my weight will dwindle down
- While were on the topic of weight.. I have really struggled since college with my weight (actually my entire life) however, I have really noticed since I have been dating Justin (not that it is his fault at all - but just because I am more comfortable than ever) I have lost interest in working out and focusing on my physical health. My goal for this year is start towards my ideal weight loss goal - to loose 23% of my current weight, and I would be where I would ideally want to weigh
- Back to saving money - I want to save enough money to fly down and see my grandma and great grandma in Florida. I miss both of them dearly and the older I get the more time they spend down in Florida
- I would also love to furnish the basement with Justin's help. It is currently a big heaping mess! We had a funny conversation the other day after leaving Best Buy after buy a headset for Justin's PS3
Justin: Yea, I think the next purchase that I will get is a new tv for downstairs, and if I get the tv will you get the surround sound?
Lindsey: I don't mind buying the surround sound, however don't you think we
should work on buying furniture for the basement too?
Justin: I suppose
It just goes to show you how differently boys think than girls, all they want is a nice tv and the equipment to make it look and sound that much cooler - forget about the comfort level of the room (i.e. couches!). Now I just have to find couches that I will also fit down the stairs - the entrance is VERY narrow...
- Although I'm not a runner I would like to participate in one race this year - like a 5k - lets start off small and work and I can work my way up to a bigger race or more 5ks throughout the year if I get really ambitious
- I would also love to find a way to calculate walking/running 2oo miles this year.
Make sure to stop by Kellys Korner to check out other peoples New Years Resolutions!
- Blog 350 days this year... so far were off to a good start
- Paint my nails so they don't look trashy like this
- Go on a date with Justin once a month... Although we go out to dinner together, sometimes its just so I dont have to make dinner and I'm being lazy or have no creative ideas - I want our dates to be planned
- Host a a girls night out once a month for my girlfriends. I am so fortunate to have such a large group of friends who live here locally, and I love it when I am able to get together with them frequently (scarf exchange, Saturday morning movie and breakfast, dinner, ect)
- Have my parents and Justin's parents over for dinner once a month
- Write notes to my friends who may need encouragement, thank you notes to people who encourage me, just saying hi letters to my friends I might not get to see all the time, and an occasional love notes to Justin
- Continue to volunteer at my church nursery once a month
Make sure to stop by Kellys Korner to check out other peoples New Years Resolutions!
Happy Friday

Osemele bids to stick around as Ravens left tackle
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) While many of his Baltimore Ravens teammates stagger to the finish of a lost season, Kelechi Osemele is mounting a salary drive for 2016.
If Osemele can excel at left tackle in place of the injured Eugene Monroe over the next three weeks, the Ravens (4-9) might have one less position to fill during a busy offseason.
Now in the final year of a $3.345 million contract he signed as a rookie in 2012, Osemele has spent most of his NFL career at left guard. He's certainly due for a raise next year, and the increase would likely be even more substantial if he proves to be an effective protector of the quarterback's blind side.
''If other teams see I'm versatile enough to play different positions, that's cool,'' the 6-foot-5, 330-pound Osemele said Wednesday. ''But right now it's just about doing whatever I can to fill in for all the injuries we have.''
Osemele played left tackle at Iowa State and earned a Super Bowl ring with Baltimore as a rookie right tackle. He was moved to left guard out of necessity in 2013 and remained there until last week, when Monroe was placed on injured reserve. Now that Osemele is back at left tackle, he intends to stay there.
''It's fun and it's challenging. It gets me working on my game, and there's something different every day,'' he said.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh never had any doubt that Osemele could handle left tackle, a position generally deemed to be the most important - and most difficult - on the offensive line.
''You felt like he could be a left tackle, but we were in a situation where we had left tackles that weren't going to any other position,'' Harbaugh said. ''I guess it's a credit to K.O. that he could play other positions. He could probably play any position on the line, except center, maybe.''
After hesitating a moment, Harbaugh added, ''He could play center.''
Moving from left guard to left tackle involves more than just shifting one notch down the line. It requires a different kind of blocking technique, and a whole lot more film study.
As a guard, Osemele focused mostly on stopping a bull rush. At left tackle, he knows his opponent of capable of doing almost anything.
''Things happen a lot faster on the inside, so you don't really have to watch much film. It's a different story outside on the edge because you're more on an island,'' Osemele said.
''There are a variety of moves that guys can give you to get to the quarterback. It's a lot more film study - not just here, but when you're home before you go to bed.''
This week, he's checking out the moves of Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali.
''A really great player,'' Osemele said. ''It's a great opportunity to kind of sharpen your skills. It's going to be good. Looking forward to the challenge.''
The greatest left tackle in the history of the Ravens, Hall of Fame member Jonathan Ogden, went by J.O. Now there's K.O.
''There was never a doubt that he could be a good left tackle,'' Harbaugh said. ''I don't think he ever doubted that, either. Now we'll find out how good.''
Notes: QB Matt Schaub (chest) saw limited action at practice. If he's inactive against KC (8-5), Jimmy Clausen will start and newcomer Ryan Mallett will be the backup. ... Joe Flacco was in the locker room, about a week after undergoing surgery to repair two torn ligaments in his left knee. The knee was swollen and he was limping, but walked without aid of a cane or crutches.

Welcome to Codebook, coming to you from Black Hat and DEF CON in Las Vegas. Strangest slot machines I've seen so far: Goonies, Seinfeld and National Lampoon's Vacation.
Tips? Please reply to this email.
1 big thing: Google's Parisa Tabriz on turning knowledge into action
In 1994, Netscape Navigator developed the secure browsing standard — HTTPS — that is still used today. For more than 20 years, cybersecurity pros knew that needed to be what every site used. And yet, it wasn't.
It's a common scenario in the security world: Knowing how to protect billions of users isn't enough to force the cultural shift it would take to accomplish it.
The latest: Parisa Tabriz, head of Google's Project Zero, and an accomplisher of big things (including forcing sites to use HTTPS by default), outlined an operable battle plan at the Black Hat conference to make those kinds of shifts— from knowing what needs to be done to actually getting it done.
- "I want people to leave optimistic," Tabriz told Codebook before her keynote speech at the huge security conference this week. "Black Hat tends to focus on doom and gloom."
The doom and gloom comes from presentations on security problems that could have been solved if only products met very minimal security standards. It's easy to lose heart when, year after year, presentations boil down to "keep software up to date" and "enable two-factor identification."
Project Zero is tasked with finding security flaws in any vendor's product. If the vendor doesn't provide a solution in 90 days, or at least show considerable progress, Google will publish the flaw.
- When it was announced, there was a lot of pushback. Vendors worried that they wouldn't have time to fix vulnerabilities, and users worried that Google publishing unpatched vulnerabilities would be a how-to manual for hackers.
- "We've actually seen people investing in improved processes to handle disclosure," said Tabriz. About 98% of the companies the project contacts currently make the deadline.
How to change something: During her keynote, Tabriz suggested focusing on three things:
- Tackle the root cause of the problem. This limits the total number of difficult problems you have to solve.
- Pick milestones and celebrate achieving them. This breaks down solutions into achievable goals and lets the broader culture catch up with the new reality.
- Build coalitions. This may be the most difficult.
How to build coalitions: "Broaden your perspective. Leave your office more to meet other types of people and learn to articulate to other stakeholders," she told Codebook.
- "We used to have a red lock with an 'X' to denote that a site was not secure. That made sense to us. When we asked users, they thought it was a purse," she said.
- Cybersecurity pros often spend more effort learning their craft than learning how to explain it to someone who hasn't been hacking since they were 8. The jargon divide can get frustrating.
- So ..."Don't be a jerk. There will be times you will need other people to keep a project afloat despite times getting tough."
2. Symantec's race to keep up with new threat groups
Every week, Symantec discovers 10 new groupings of events that may indicate new teams of hackers committing crimes, new nation state threats gearing up for attacks or new clusters of especially active teenagers.
Though Symantec believes it can block the tactics of those groups, that's to0 many to do deep dive research on each of them to better understand if those attacks are related and — if they are —what they are trying to accomplish.
"Even with 150 malware researchers, it's too many to keep up," Liam O'Murchu, director of security technology and response for Symantec, told Codebook at Black Hat.
Why it matters: While it doesn't mean that those bad guys are winning, it does give a sense of the struggle throughout the industry to fully appreciate what's going on.
The back story: Symantec doesn't discover the groupings entirely by hand anymore. They use an automated system to find potential groups, allowing them to discover connections humans would miss.
- Symantec prioritizes full research treatment for particularly sophisticated groups or those attacking sensitive targets, like the military.
3. Cybercrime is organized, but not mob-run
In his Black Hat talk Wednesday and his upcoming book "Industry of Anonymity: Inside the Business of Cybercrime," Jonathan Lusthaus argues that cybercrime isn't as connected to traditional mafias as you — or even criminals — might expect.
Lusthaus, the director of the Human Cybercriminal Project at Oxford, did a seven-year study over 20 countries. While criminals seemed to believe the mob is heavily tied to cybercrime, few could offer concrete examples.
Why not? Because cyber criminals don't have turf wars — there's plenty of opportunity for crime to go around. Because of that, Lusthaus determined, there was no need for the physical protection the mob could provide.
That said, the criminals are still organized. While they may not be connected to a broad, violent network of criminals, they still work in hierarchical groups to maximize attacks.
4. Why Fortnite's exit from Play Store could be trouble
Mobile security experts Codebook spoke to at Black Hat were not impressed by Epic Games' decision to offer an Android version of its blockbuster game Fortnite without using the Google Play store.
Why this is bad: The Google Play store is a "walled garden," a tightly controlled environment that allows Google to check all apps for malware. By default, the only app store Android phones can use is Google's.
- But Android is meant to be an open platform. Users are allowed to shut off the Google Play-only requirement, at their own peril.
- Many off brand stores are full of malware-laden knock-offs of popular apps.
So, why do it? The Google Play store charges a 30% commission for sales on its store. Epic can enjoy far more profits by circumventing the Play store.
What they're saying: "If other major developers follow Fortnite's lead, there could be a collapse of the 'walled garden' system," said one mobile security expert. "That would be a disaster."

We left home on Tuesday about 4:00 PM. Stopped in Decater at Babes for dinner. They specialize in rib eye steaks. That's all they sell is rib eye stakes. It was good for a steak. The triple A maps are good with the exception that they go through your ass to scratch your nose when you get close to your destination. It was shear luck that we found our motel in Canyon. The motel itself was very clean, but dated. You know it looked like it had not left the 70's I walked in and immediately 'wacka sheen' emitted from my mouth. It was the first motel room I have stayed in that had a sunken shower. No bathtub but a sunkin shower. Weird. I was up checking email and what not when I heard a noise, I couldn't tell what it was at first then it dawned on me.... Rain. It was Raining! It even woke Tim up. No thunder boomers no throms, but a nice good rain.
Morning came and we woke up drove out to Palo Duro Canyon. Breath taking, amazing, litterally as one of my nephews said when he visted there, "there are all the colors in the world here" I have never seen colors like this in nature. I only hope that the photos we have taken will do it justice. We stopped at the Praire Dog Town fork of the Red River and waded in it. There is an old indian legand that says it will cure most anything you have. We had lunch in the area, a wood pecker joined us for lunch and found a grate big green bug for it's lunch. We drove around the park, saw the Spanish Skirts, Castle Rock, Light house tower, it was all breathtaking. We were told it had been raining for the past few days and everything was green... It looked as lush as it could be. Finally I'm here, finally I am sharing something that my sister did. I could see why she loved it. It feels almost magical, it feels like your in a different world. We stopped and listened... and all we heard was nature.
Regretfully we had to leave, onward to Raton NM, just a stop over. On the way we passed a signed and it stated that this was the begining of the Rocky Mountains. Raton is beautiful, it reminds me a little of a town on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Walk straight out and the first thing we see are mountains.... all around 360 degrees... It does my soul and spirit alot of good. It's not my home , not my mountains, (Blue Ridge Parkway) but it is the mountains.
Tomorrow on to Snowmass and Aspen. We leave at crack of early.
Progress on Tim's sweater... well hopefully tomorrow I will finish the center front and can begin on the sides.

A one-year course in authentic communication.
Develop, deploy and refine your in-the-spotlight communication – as a speaker, leader or presenter.
Date(s) - 17/04/2020 - 14/01/2021
09:30 - 17:30
Serridslevvej 2, 2100 Copenhagen
Nobody dreams of ordinary
Your personal presence is the strongest asset you have as a communicator, when you make presentations, when you hold meetings or when you engage in professional negotiations.
As a presenter, you should always have a heightened presence that makes you stand out from the crowd, and from those whose basic role is to "receive". This course helps you create maximum stage effect – the ability to consciously activate your presence with a strong sense of integrity and calmness.
Stage effect manifests itself as a heightened presence that captures people's attention and makes them want to hear more. It inspires and mesmerises them as well as opening the door to each listener's natural curiosity.
We all have unique innate resources that can be brought into play and applied to create this kind of an experience. Roxana Kia finds a natural, motivating way into your personal form of natural expression – delving into authentic personal resources that make you shine when you're in the spotlight, on stage or need to perform in any other way.
The course
This is a one-year in-depth course focused on authentic communication. Entry to this course requires you to have attended the "Impact Communicator Training 1" course.
This is far from conventional training in presentation technique. This modular course allows you to be who you really are and use this core realisation in a dynamic, creative way to really capture your audience's attention, so that you become heard, seen and felt as a speaker, leader or presenter.
The course consists of 9 separate and distinctive one-day modules, each lasting with one day. In between each module, you receive specific exercises to practice. This ensures a well-founded personal communication style.
Module 1 – Removing obstacles
Eliminating the main obstacles hindering you from truly shining when you're "on stage" or in the spotlight in any other key context. This makes it possible to establish a new basis for your true expression, so that you can unfold and grow in your personal communication and mode of expression. It is the first step towards freedom in authentic communication and a clear sense of your ability to create trust and belief.
Module 2 – Improvisation
We confront the beliefs and challenges that hold you back, boosting your courage and your capacity to open up to improvisation, letting go, acting in the now and actively working with the energies present. This is how you open up for a range of new "tones" in your personal communication.
Module 3 – Emotionality
You learn how to access and activate different emotional keys to play upon, evoking your ability to fire people up emotionally, and to connect to deeper values.
Module 4 – Core message
Reaching your target audience in the core of their true needs and dreams is a high art of performance. You learn about a structured tool that helps you identify which kind of core message will have the most powerful, authentic impact on your target group, and how to direct this. You also learn how to capture the audience's attention in a mere 10 seconds, and how to end with a sense of impact.
Module 5 – Handling resistance
How do you deal with resistance, scepticism or challenging questions from the audience? How do you react to such things and use them as a resource that can contribute to your own performance? You learn how to meet on-stage challenges with calmness, integrity, humour and respect.
Module 6 – Storytelling
Build a dynamic presence in communication. You learn how to balance the validation of logic, meaning and data in your performance with the richness of storytelling. You also learn to reach different types of people and how to talk on different communication levels.
Module 7 – The authentic voice
Working with a voice expert, you learn simple techniques for unleashing your unique tone and style of voice. You learn how to loosen tensions and how to speak with a full-bodied voice.
Module 8 – Impact
Learn techniques for introducing and applying metaphors, pictures, humour and vitality to your performance. You learn how to employ your heightened presence and raise the level of your passion to create a powerful, memorable stage effect.
Module 9 – Bringing it all together
Using all the techniques and inspiration from the programme, you make a final presentation performance, receive an evaluation from both Roxana and the other members of your group, and are presented with a diploma.
Your outcome
- Specific, customised-for-you tools that bring out your originality and authenticity
- Practical techniques to help you deal with nervousness, resistance and unforeseen challenges
- A clear plan for how to get a core message across to a specific target group
- Techniques to open up for your natural humour and sense of improvising
- Hands-on methods about presence and how to establish a good contact with your audience
- Training in how to interact with different types of listeners
- Direct access to your heart, mind, body and spirit in communication
- Techniques to ensure balance in delivering data, information, stories and metaphors in a compelling way
Every module includes active stage training as a prominent feature.
This means you come up on stage, and receive an individual session with Roxana Kia as well as direct feedback from the other members of the group.

This is a very clever way to make an emergency phone charger from a mint tin. Something like an Altoids can is perfect. Once completed you will have a nice little power bank which can be used to charge your phone among other things.
I can't vouch for how long it will last, but if you use it a few times in an emergency it would be well worth it. One reader mentioned they made a few adjustments and installed a switch between the battery and the sub charger so they can turn it off and not waste the battery.
Remember, this is an emergency charger. If you only get a partial charge out of it, it did it's job, and maybe got you out of a bad situation.
The main reason I posted this was to stimulate a little thinking. What other kinds of things could this be used for with a few modifications? Leave your answers in the comment section below.

12th April 2019
President's speech for Cranleigh Chamber of Commerce annual dinner 2019
Welcome to our Members and to our guests. Our guests are:
Liz Townsend – Cranleigh Parish Council Leader
Angela Richardson – Cranleigh Parish Councillor
Andrew Povey – Surrey County Councillor
Cllr Jim Edwards – Economic Portfolio Holder, Waverley Borough Council
Euan Davidson – President, Godalming Chamber of Commerce
Craig McGowan – President, Haslemere Chamber of Commerce
Brian Walpole – Cranleigh Lions
And of course, our guest speaker or rather interviewee, John James of Soho Estates and President of the Cranleigh Agricultural Show who will be speaking during coffee
This is the end of my first year as President and I have found it really worthwhile. Our Committee and I have tried to continue to add real value to our Members, whose subscriptions are vital to maintain a vibrant economy and to retain our lovely High Street which is suffering badly
So, what have we delivered for your members fees? What have we delivered that adds real value? How do we keep relevant for our members
It has been another year of events, a year of lobbying, a year of influencing, a year of campaigning and a year of partnering and collaborating.
Firstly Networking
We want to put local businesses in front of other local businesses. We want to help you develop relationships which lead to fruitful business. And we want to keep our businesses informed. Our networking events are ideally suited with speakers on interesting and relevant business topics.
And we listen to you! Some of you said that breakfast networking meetings did not work for your school runs. So, we introduced lunch and evening meetings in the past year. We held eight networking events and we have a full programme for the next year. We constantly try to keep the speakers and events interesting. Some of you will remember our cycle networking event over to the Milk Churn and Firebird Brewery? Well this May, we will be holding a Netwalking meeting. Yes, networking where we walk and talk! Let's hope we have good weather!
Big Events
We have also been responsible for two large events.
The Waverley BIG Awards was a tremendous success with all four Chambers of Commerce in Waverley taking part.
The Cranleigh Business to Business Show was new to us and really hit the ground running with 27 exhibiting businesses which was the maximum capacity of the Village Hall.
High Street Events
Supporting our High Street businesses is one of our key objectives. I am disappointed to inform you that our High Street vacancy rate has increased from 2% in 2015 to an incredible 9%, by far the highest in Waverley. It is lower than the national rate of 11% but that is absolutely no comfort.
We continue to hold our Spring and Autumn High Street events which do have an immediate on-the-day increase in sales, especially the cafes but that is not enough. Our residents and visitors are not supporting our High Street retailers and choosing to buy online. Let's face it, we all do. Online retailers do not pay business rates or rent. Whether or not they pay tax is a matter for government but one which we must lobby for when we talk to our politicians.
So, like all High Streets in the UK our High Street will have to change to survive. It must become a place of entertainment. It must develop a night time economy of bars, cafes and restaurants. It must offer unique product. The new For Earth's Sake shop is possibly a good example of that. I have no idea whether it will be successful, but I do hope so because it has livened up that end of the High Street where both Carolyn Lodge Travel and the Lemon Tree closed at the same time.
And maybe we should all think more about buying more products locally. It is a vicious circle. What would Cranleigh be like without our High Street. Pretty ghastly.
Our objective for 2019 is to form a High Street retailer steering group and work towards implementing a Business Improvement District in Cranleigh High Street. This will need the support of over 50% of the retailers and business rate payers in the High Street and will be tough to sell to them because it will mean a 1 – 2% levy on their business rates.
But the real advantage is that the large retailers like the Coop, Sainsburys, M&S pay the lions share. BIDS, as they are called, are hard to get started but once they do, they are extremely effective in improving the High Street because they bring in an annual pot of money of around £100,000 that the retailers can decide what to spend it on. Not the council, not the Chamber but the retailers and rate payers. It could be CCTV, Banners, marketing, parking subsidies, improving the pavements, street furniture, more street cleaning, street events and so on. The money and the decisions are in their hands.
Christmas Lights
The long established High Street event which is the most expensive to stage is the Xmas lights event. Every year we must start from scratch and raise at least £12,000. Last year they cost almost £16,000 to replace, renew, repair, install and take down. Can I send out a plea that you all continue to support us when we request funding to help us put them up and hold the event. Any amount really does help. And if you feel generous, we have a super Xmas 100 club with a regular monthly subscription. A draw is made very quarter and you can win a nice bonus. You stand a far, far better chance than the Lottery or Premium bonds so do consider it. Speak to Julie or Roger.
Lobbying and Influencing
Our other added value to our members is our constant lobbying and influencing of public and private sector partners to improve our Village.
This year we have proposed to Waverley Borough Council that we cap our parking at three hours payment to assist our low paid workers with cheap parking, to retain visitors in the village longer and to stop undesirable parking in residential streets. Our car parks are only 50% full at any time except Thursday during the market when they increase to around 70% full. And 95% of parking paid is for three hours or less.
We proposed to Waverley that they can actually increase their parking income with more people parking for 3 hours. However, it will take Waverley some time to get around to the proposal because they want to do a full parking review of the whole of Waverley. We re lobbying hard to make the case that we are unique because we do not have commuter parking like the other Waverley towns which fills their car parks. We will continue to push this. We know it works elsewhere.
Longfield House
We are continuing to lobby Surrey County Council about converting Longfield House, previously a care home, partly to small offices for start-ups and small businesses and partly to accommodation for vulnerable adults. This has stalled recently because Surrey CC have few staff left. But we are keeping up the pressure in partnership with Smart Cranleigh
Mobile Phone Reception
Despite what mobile phone providers claim, our reception in Cranleigh is poor and patchy. This is no longer a luxury but a necessity with vulnerable children and adults unable to access help should they need it. Nor can we use RINGO to pay for parking. So, we have carried out an online survey which received almost 400 responses and submitted it to Anne Milton. She is now organising a meeting with the mobile phone providers to knock heads together.
I have not mentioned Cranleigh in Bloom (thank you Andrea and well done for getting selected for Britain in Bloom), the Santa Dash, the Downs Link and so much more!
To achieve all this, I have depended so much on our wonderful Committee.
Thank you to Martin Bamford of Bamford Media and Informed Choice and our vice president, who handles our marketing and social media, who organises and reminds us of events, who keeps our website fresh and informative and who handles all the horrid regulation for our events.
Thank you to Roger Coupe of the eponymous estate agents, who leads the charge to raise money for our Xmas lights. He also follows up on every new business that arrives to persuade them to become a member of the Chamber and hopefully of the 100 Club.
Thank you to Julie Alexandersen, of Hans Christmas Andersen, who has knocked into order our Members Subscription Lists (so watch out those of you who are behind in payment, she is after you!); who has both provided space for and organised free training sessions for members over at Santafir. She is always prepared to spend long hours manning our stands at various shows and events. And thanks for your generous sponsorship of the Spring into Cranleigh event and our Guinness world record attempt at the largest display of painted rocks.
Thank you to John Wright of Its Eeze, who works closely with Julie on the training events and who launched the Cranleigh Business to Business Show. And yes, he is planning our next Business Show. Some of you may not know that John is also the President of the Horsham and Billingshurst Chamber of Commerce.
Thank you to Christine Martin of TRTUK, who led a team of four Waverley Chambers to stage the spectacular Waverley BIG Awards in October. It took six people, nine months in planning and an awful lot of free human resource and late, late nights to make it happen. But what a great night celebrating business success across Waverley. Thank you to Waverley Borough Council for your sponsorship of this event amongst many other sponsors.
Thank you to Mike Parsons of Cromwell's who leads our High Street Spring and Autumn events and who creates some sort of excitement at his Cromwell's restaurant every week.
Thank you to David Counsel, our treasurer who keeps us very much on the right financial track.
And thanks to Bob Bayley, a retired business member, who strives to improve our Parking, our Mobile phone reception and our Downs Link. I am pleased to say he is the bane of the lives of Anne Milton and the Waverley councillors and executive! Don't give up Bob, we are getting there!
It is remarkable the skills, the experience and the expertise we have on our Committee; and members willingness to voluntarily donate those skills and their time.
Cranleigh Chamber is a Chamber which punches well above its weight. We will continue to support businesses in Cranleigh in every way we can. Your membership subscriptions are very well used for the improvement of the economy. Thank you!

So this article caught my attention today:
The governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant, has said it was unfortunate that a predominantly white church in the state wouldn't allow a black couple to get married in its sanctuary, adding that the state should encourage the union of any couple – as long as it was made up of a man and a woman.
Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson said they weren't allowed to marry in July at First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, a small town south of Jackson.
The Rev Stan Weatherford, pastor of the church, married the Wilsons at a church nearby. The wedding was moved after some congregants at First Baptist told Weatherford they opposed allowing black people to marry in the church.
So now some folks don't even think that black people should get married and their Baptist church honored that request. I'll assume that they just don't think that black people should reproduce and thus die out as a race. I can't begin to tell you how much this angers me.
But this whole thing brings up several other streams of thought:
1) This got a lot more news play overseas and in Canada than in did in the United States.
2) What if the situation were different? A mixed race couple perhaps? Would there have been more coverage?
3) And from my perspective: If this were a CATHOLIC church that did this and not a BAPTIST church I have a feeling it would have been on the front page of every paper in the country. Lauer would have had the wedding on the Today show.
Suffice it to say that racism is alive and well. Did anyone else notice that the Governor only said it was "unfortunate" and not "wrong"?

Day 581 (Nepal Day 7)
Utter exhaustion meant I didn't enjoy all of today. My body is wrecked. But I made it. I arrived in Taplejung around 3.30pm. Despite being at the end of my physical limit, I entered little town three times – twice to record a video as I passed the 'Welcome to Taplejung' gate, and a third time to go in search of a place to stay. I enquired at three places before choosing what was by far the best deal. It has the cheapest price, offers the most homely room (it even had a desk decorated with flowers), comes with the nicest bathroom (though 'shared', the bathroom is adjacent to my room and I am the only guest, so it's basically my private bathroom, albeit one with a cold water tap and a bucket to shower with), has WIFI throughout, and is run by a family who welcomed me as one of their own. The next best option would have cost me the same amount for a spartan room, dirty outdoor toilet and no WIFI.
I dumped my stuff in my room, had a wash, and then relished the feeling of being snug and warm in three layers of clothes and thick socks. I abused the WIFI for a while as I communicated with friends and family, then I was welcomed upstairs to have dinner on a comfy couch in front of a TV showing the Discovery Channel. Dinner was delicious. As is customary in Nepal, I received all-you-can-eat rice with daal and vegetables.
I am so far enjoying my food experience in Nepal. For breakfast and lunch I have generally just been eating bread and fruit and whatever else is easy to carry on the bike. For dinner I have generally been relying on meals cooked by my guesthouse hosts. I have learned not to expect there to be meals available on demand. Instead, I have started to adapt to the eating patterns of my hosts. I feel that the most polite thing to do is find out when my host family are eating, then say that I will eat whatever they cook for themselves whenever they normally prepare it. This almost always means daal baht around 7.30pm. I absolutely love the fact that you can eat as much as you want and I basically eat two meals' worth of food every time I have a Nepali meal.
