Hawaii Born.
I was born and raised on the island of Oahu, half the time living in town and the other half spent in Ewa Beach. I grew up the local way… eating spam musubi, popping fireworks at New Year's, and complaining about traffic on the H1. As a young boy I looked forward to the day I would leave the islands and call the mainland home. While I did call the frozen north (Minnesota) home for five years, as I grew older I realized my love for Hawaii – its food, people, lifestyle, weather, and culture. I came back to Honolulu in 2016 to be among friends and family once again.
The Food Blogger.
I love food. I love exploring new flavors and ingredients. I want chefs to challenge my palate. I want food to tell a story, to convey emotion, to form a memory I will retain for years to come. Nowadays I travel specifically to places where I also want to eat and hope to continue adding to the list of my culinary experiences around the world.
I started taking photos and blogging about my dining experiences in Honolulu back in 2007, way before it was cool to be a food blogger. Over the years I've progressed from a Canon PowerShot to full DSLR photography. Now I'm on the mirrorless bandwagon, but still shooting in RAW.
Over the year's I've written short pieces for a few publications online. Those pieces include (starting with the most recent):
Frolic Hawaii
- Vintage Cave Cafe (March 27, 2017)
- Gen Korean BBQ (March 13, 2017)
- Something New: KatsuMidori Sushi (January 17, 2017)
- Food Trends I Hope Will Thrive (January 16, 2017)
- My Top 5 Standouts from Senia's Chef Tasting Menu (January 9, 2017)
Heavy Table
- Sandcastle at Lake Nokomis (July 10, 2013)
- John Ng and Lina Goh of Zen Box Izakaya (May 29, 2013)
- Aqua in White Bear Lake and Forest Lake (May 13, 2013)
- Smack Shack in Minneapolis (April 29, 2013)
- Kangaroo – From Australia to Hell's Kitchen's Menu (April 24, 2013)
- Shady Grove in Ellsworth, Wisconsin (April 15, 2013)
- Sushi Fix in Wayzata (April 8, 2013)
My food photos, amateur as they are, have been fortunate to appear in several online and print publications. These publications include Food & Wine Magazine, Savuer, AFAR Travel Magazine, Eater, Heavy Table, and Frolic Hawaii. I archive photos from most of my notable meals on Flickr. You can view those albums here.
Aloha Epicure.
This site was created so I could have a place to aggregate my posts on various topics. However, as the name implies I'll be mostly writing about my thoughts* on different restaurant experiences both at home and abroad. I blog to compile my thoughts and experiences, but also to share them with others.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you find here at least one thing of interest!

What's Unique about Open Bible Fellowship
Our goal is to help each person grow as far as they desire in the knowledge and the grace of God. We offer deliberate step by step studies which take a person from understanding the very foundations of the Christian faith up to and including accredited Bible School courses all the way to full ordination if desired. We take our goal from Colossians 1:28 which says: "Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ." Colossians 1:28 (ESV)
Faith is not just about knowledge but about coming into loving and accepting relationships with others. We consciously keep fellowship in mind as we plan our services and events in a way to help develop relationships. "And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother." and " If anyone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen." 1 John 4: 21, 20 (ESV)
This means we believe God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow, that He still answers prayers and still does miracles. His Holy Spirit still works and manifests His presence through these "gifts" of the Spirit. "Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts." Corinthians 14:1 (ESV)
We hold to the Scriptural attitude that we will "not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable", Acts 20:20 (ESV) Meaning we will teach what the Bible teaches and not shrink back because it may be controversial or that some object because they do not know or believe what the Bible teaches. We hold that the Bible is the true word of God and we must be balanced in teaching the whole of it.
Note article: Are Pastor's teaching What Is Relevant?
God gives his people "gifts of the Holy Spirit." (I Corinthians 12-14). The "Gifts" are "manifestations" of different ways the Holy Spirit works in his people to minister to His people. The Holy Spirit was given to the church forever and "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." Hebrews 13:8.
"Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. I Corinthians. 14:1" "What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. I Corinthians 14:26."
Worship is not just to be a program we sit through, but a personal, real experience of being in God's presence adoring, thanking and praising Him! "The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth." John 4:23
The Bible says we are to worship Him with singing, clapping, playing instruments, raising hands, kneeling, rejoicing, dancing, prophesying, and even shouting praise to God. We are to enter into worship with liveliness, in good order.
Psalm 150:3 –6 says, "Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him
"Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe.
Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD."
"I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands,… I Timothy 2:8"
"So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. Psalm 63:4"

One of my Enchanté columns from April 2014
By Mark Bergin
Joanne Langlois has spent much of her career promoting other artists and causes. She excels at it. Now it's her turn to be promoted.
Always creative, her current project, and destined to be her biggest ever, is Twirl Designs. She first described the concept to me over a year ago. Now it's taking shape.
Although I won't be surprised when I see her collection in New York or Paris, Joanne wants success to come from within Canada first.
Twirl Designs is a venture with integrity and class. Joanne Langlois has established a fashion collection and she isn't searching Third World countries for cheap labor to produce it. She's got the quality she wants within our own borders.
She wants to reflect the quality of her culture in as artistic a manner as possible. Art is something I can get behind. Even better is art you can wear.
According to international rights organizations, Bangladesh has more than 4000 sweatshops. Hundreds of people have died in them. Fires. Poor working conditions. Industrial accidents. The Guardian (UK) reported that, in a typical incident, dozens of workers jumped to their deaths and more than 100 were injured when a fire swept through a sweatshop that made clothes for The Gap.
You won't have to worry about that with Twirl Designs. This Canadian company won't be using exploitative settings to cut costs. You'll have a clear conscience when you purchase and wear Twirl.
"Know that the clothes are comfortable and flattering on most body types," said Joanne. "These aren't cookie-cutter fashions that come out of factories. We have to look at the social footprint we leave. We're creating jobs and promoting art."
She said that when she attended a recent event where her fashion line was on display, people told her she could have the clothes made cheaper if she went offshore.
"They're missing the whole point," she said. "The purpose is to promote art in an ethical way."
We sat down last week and wound along an interesting path of topics.
It was interesting to see how much easier it is for Joanne to promote the creativity of others than it is for her own creations. That's not a bad thing. There are too many people in the world going, "me, me, me." Still, when the focus is on her, there's an awkward sense that she's squirming to get away from the spotlight.
Born in Toronto, Joanne moved to Kingston to attend Queen's University for a degree in history a couple of decades ago. I asked if she ever sat in her history classes and imagined she'd be launching a clothing line in the future.
She burst into laughter.
"You're assuming I went to class," she said.
Thus goes a conversation with her. Behind all seriousness is a playful approach to life.
"I realized pretty close to graduating that I was going to be qualified for nothing after my degree, so I went back to school in Toronto for a post-grad program in public relations at Humber College."
By then, Joanne had fallen in love with Kingston and a man, Paul. With her heart in Kingston she came back to live and put down roots. Joanne and Paul will be celebrating their 23rd anniversary this June. They have two daughters. Those are pretty solid roots.
She's established Twirl Designs. It's mostly local; it's all Canadian.
"Art has always spoken to me," she said. "For years, in many ways, I've been spoiled by Heather Haynes art. I started to think about her art on fabric. Clothes are something I love. Heather taught me over the years to dream big and to put it out there. There's something to be said about the way she approaches things. She always said, 'There's no reason why this can't be as big as you want it to be.' I've learned a lot from her about optimism."
Joanne is living her dream of creating a clothing line. She's put together a talented team. Twirl uses fabric made in Montreal, which is shipped locally to another site in Montreal where the design is applied. Then Joanne works with fashion design consultant Olivia Coughtrey to get the clothes made.
The inaugural collection features the paintings of Heather Haynes.
"Heather has been kind enough to trust me with her images to launch the line," said Joanne. "The whole idea behind this is to support Canadian art."
In the longer term, Joanne's hopes to see her creations in higher end gift shops across Canada.
"For places that want something less gimicky but want to offer a piece of Canada for Canadians or visitors to take home," said Joanne. "It would be great for a place like The Bay to pick up a line like this."
I can see Twirl Designs fitting nicely at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) or the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
"I'd love to see Twirl in department stores," she said. "I'd love to see Twirl grow large enough that artists are being supported in their work. All the designs are simple with clean lines. The art is timeless. I love the idea of having three or four of the same kinds of dresses featuring the work of different artists."
Where does she find the energy for all her projects?
"I like to challenge myself and see what I'm capable of," she said. "As I get older it's one of those things. I've always tried to live by the rule that if I have the thought, I can do it. Like if you have a nice thought, you should say it to someone. I've always tried to follow through. I don't ever want to be in the situation of thinking, 'what if?' or 'if only.' And in that way, I don't feel the stress of work. I'm not living with regrets."
She explained that Twirl now involves a team of Kingstonians.
"They keep me upright," she said. "I would like to see a centre in Kingston where the products are made. Know that the clothes are comfortable and flattering on most body types. Twirl is on the higher end of affordable. Maybe someone can't afford a $5000 painting, but they can wear leggings displaying the art."
The clothing has a diverse and wide age appeal.
"My kids are into the clothing," she said. "Their friends really love the leggings. At the same time, women who are forty-something can wear Twirl Designs."
In the next few months, the Twirl website will be launched. In the longer term, Joanne hopes to take things further afield.
"We'll be marketing outside Kingston," she said. "I love that we're able to have niche success in Kingston, but I'm hoping for Kingston to be a small part of the bigger picture."

Sixty percent of downtown employees and business owners recently surveyed oppose charging for evening and weekend parking.
The survey results will be reviewed by the Rochester City Council at 3:30 p.m. Monday during its weekly committee of the whole meeting in room 104 of City Hall.
The survey was conducted after the city council reviewed a parking rate study with Walker Consultants in early June. The review included discussion of implementing a potential $2 flat fee for weekend and evening ramp parking, which would break with the city's long tradition of offering space for free.
At the same time, it would provide added revenue for a system designed to operate without reliance on tax dollars.
"It's approximately a $400,000 to $500,000 difference," Phil Baron of Walker Consultants' Chicago office said, regarding whether to add the additional fee.
On Monday, the council will review a proposal that suggests maintaining free parking.
"Based on the input from stakeholders there does not appear to be support for charging on evenings and weekends," Tony Knauer, the city's transit and parking manager, wrote in a report sent to the council.
He suggested the city continue monitoring revenue from proposed rate increases to see if they will support future demand and expansion of parking facilities without the added fees.
In June, he noted the revenue is key to providing successful parking services.
"We're a utility fund, and revenues have to support operations, along with improvements and expansion of parking," he said.
Proposals from the rate study would increase some hourly rates on an annual basis through 2022 to help ensure the fees cover costs, while also streamlining the rate structure.
Under the consultant's proposal, the first year of hourly rate increases would increase revenues by an estimated 23 percent, bringing approximately $763,800 in extra revenue without the weekend and evening changes.
At the same time, the proposed rate changes would maintain the city's free parking for the first hour.
In addition to free weekends and evenings, Knauer is suggesting the city council hold off on considering an event fee, which would be charged during special downtown activities.
"This will allow time for more discussion with the (Rochester Public) Library and (Mayo) Civic Center concerning impacts, operations and event size," he wrote in his report. "It should be noted that the event fees would only apply in the evenings and weekends."
Members of the Mayo Civic Center Commission discussed the potential fees during their meeting Wednesday, noting the revenue could be used to monitor the economic impact of entertainment events at the center, even if the revenue doesn't directly support the facility.
"It would be good to know, but I'd like to see some of it coming over here," commission member Warren Harmon said.
As city council members ponder adjustments for parking rates on Monday, they will have results from the recent survey of downtown employees and business owners. The responses were split with roughly 60 percent coming from employees and 40 percent from business owners.
Here's what was revealed:
• 53 percent said a $2 to $4 flat weekend and evening rate would be too high, while 42 percent said it was "just right."
• 54 percent supported implementing event parking charges.
• 50 percent of the respondents said the suggested $5 fee per event was the correct amount, while 41 percent said it was too high.
• When asked about the top concern with proposed changes, 43 percent cited the cost of parking for employees, while 18 percent said customer expense was the primary concern.

This year, for the first time EVER, we stayed home for Christmas. As in, our home. We did not travel to either one of our parents' houses. There were no trains, planes, or automobiles. No one traveled to spend the holiday with us, either (which was perfectly fine with us!). We had a lovely holiday with just us four. We think this will be our new normal.
The week before Christmas, we boarded the Christmas Train at the Irvine Park Railroad to visit Santa. Lil seemed to like Santa. Viv seemed to still be freaked out by him.
On Christmas Eve Eve, we ate an early dinner, bathed the girls and put them in their jammies, and then loaded them into the car. We went through the Starbucks drive-thru and then drove around for almost two hours looking at Christmas lights in Nellie Gail Ranch and Baker Ranch and listening to Christmas music. The weather was cold and windy, as a rain storm was blowing in. I remember driving around looking at Christmas lights before we had kids, imagining what it would be like to celebrate the holidays with kids of our own. This year, there was no need to imagine – our two precious girls were with us, snug in the backseat.
On Christmas Eve, Dan baked homemade cutout sugar cookies with Vivian. I made homemade spaghetti for dinner. We went to mass at 4pm. Dan helped Vivian put out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer. And then…Santa came!
Christmas day was a lazy day (well, as lazy as it can be with two small babies at home). We opened presents. Dan helped Vivian paint outside using some of her new art supplies. I made a pot roast and homemade mashed potatoes for dinner. In the afternoon, Lillian and I took a walk around the neighborhood and then in the evening, we all walked around the neighborhood and looked at Christmas lights and the city views.
Before the day was done, Dan had composed this poem and posted it online. Too, too funny!
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Wait just a minute – that wasn't it
For Christmas this year, I won't feed you bullshit
We just finished making cookies and were covered in flour
When Carrie said, "We must be at church in one hour."
I looked at little Vivian who is just past two
"Ready in one hour" is about the best she can do
The tale I will now tell you led to our Christmas psychosis
And reaggravated my granulomatosis
You see earlier that day, Vivian had skipped her nap
Because she had asked me to and I'm a warm-hearted sap
Her behavior that evening was not quite the best,
Perhaps due to early onset PMS?
I need to go back, I'm getting ahead of myself
Let's just say Viv is lucky there's no elf on our shelf
Through fussing and crying we cleaned up our mess
I threw on a shirt; Viv picked a dress
Carrie prepped Lillian and we head to the car
With 20 minutes to spare and church was not far
Although crowded it was, we found a parking space
Miracles were happening all over the place!
Upon entering the church, our eyes filled with gloom
It seemed all that was left was just standing room
I traded for Lillian and picked a spot by the door
Carrie wandered down front and sat with Viv on the floor
Then a miracle happened, wouldn't ya know
Space for one more family – in the front row!
Things broke down after the first reading
As we all said 'Amen' and returned to our seating
Viv pointed to the altar showing where she was to go
Carrie and I together silently shook our heads no
She grinned and did what she intended to do
With no words at all she was saying, "Eff you!"
Carrie's reactions are quicker than mine
And she grabbed our girl in the nick of time
But that was just the beginning of it
As Viv melted down into one full on fit
While Viv was committing this mortal sin
Mom looked at Dad – it was time to tag in
Of course once I had her, she did perfectly well
Like ice cubes are currently freezing in hell
So the evening went on, we did the best we could do
Then wouldn't you know it, Lil joined in too
When I couldn't take any more, I took Lil outside
And low and behold that just turned the tide!
Since Lil was silent and crying no more
I looked at my fantasy football score.
Yes I know – I wasn't too proud
But Carrie will hear you if you say it too loud
Since it appeared that I had no chance of winning
I went back inside to finish the inning
We finished the service and left after communion
As parishioners looked at me like a heathen
We zoomed out of the lot and had not gotten far
When I only heard silence and looked back in the car
And of course the reason I did not hear one peep
Is because both of them were fast asleep
And then my jaw nearly hit the floor,
When Carrie smiled and said, "I still want two more."
We rushed through our dinner and put the kids to bed
"We can make number three now if you want to," I said
Carrie sighed and told me she had too much to do
Now the balls in Santa's sack aren't the only ones that are blue
Carrie always does too much before she gets her rest
Lil would be up again in three hours at best
Eventually, though, Carrie went up the stair
As I stared off in space, while I sat in my chair
Clearly it had to get better than this?
In just forty-five minutes it would be Christmas
I let Carrie get a 30 minute head start
(Because when I come to bed I snore and I fart)
I yawned and I slowly slipped under the covers
And held onto my pillow as if we were passionate lovers
Seven hours later I awoke with a smile
I had not slept the whole night through in awhile!
I grabbed Viv and Lil and we went down the stair
Mom was still sleeping blissfully unaware
I got the kids breakfast and I did my best
To make no noise and let Mom get her rest
Two hours later Mom woke to the clatter and came down the stairs to see what was the matter
There was fog in her eyes as she stared at me
But it lifted after just three cups of coffee
(Carrie had gotten up four times last night, to her detriment, but Lillian's gastro-delight)
We smiled and laughed as we opened each gift
A happy Christmas morning gave us all a great lift
As we gathered this morning around our green tree
I thought to myself, "how I love my family"
Let's all be honest, sometimes life gives you shit
But through faith and love you make the best of it
I hope that this story has made you all chuckle
'Cuz the Chambers may bend, but we will never buckle
This Christmas has given us time to reflect
That no matter how much we try, no one is perfect
To all of our friends we wish you good cheer
Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Since we also had December 26th off work, we continued our holiday celebrations. Dan took Vivian to the park for a few hours. We all went to the Santa Ana Zoo's Winter Zoobilation (pretty lame). Of course, we had to ride the train and carousal while we were there, in addition to looking at the monkeys and other animals.
Of course, I'm a little sad that Christmas is over. It was fun listening to Christmas music (and hearing Vivian sing many Christmas songs) this past month. It was also fun getting into the holiday spirit over the past few weeks – decorating, baking, wrapping gifts. It kind of felt like Christmas was a month long and not just one day. We are looking forward to celebrating many more Christmases with our girls – at home!

Cryptomining Software Discovered on Tennessee Hospital's EMR Server
A Tennessee hospital discovered cryptomining software installed on a server that hosts its electronic medical records (EMR) system.
In January 2018, Decatur County General Hospital began notifying patients of a incident involving its electronic medical record systems. Its breach notification letter (PDF) reveals the hospital first learned about the security event from its EMR vendor:
On November 27, 2017, we received a security incident report from our EMR system vendor indicating that unauthorized software had been installed on the server the vendor supports on our behalf. The unauthorized software was installed to generate digital currency, more commonly known as "cryptocurrency."
Decatur County General Hospital subsequently launched its own investigation into the incident. So far, it's determined that a remote actor likely accessed the server on which its EMR system stores patients information including their names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers, insurance details, and medical treatment records. It's also found that the cryptomining software had been active since at least 22 September 2017.
The hospital's EMR vendor replaced the server and operating system four days after discovery.
At this time, Decatur County General Hospital cannot confirm whether the individual responsible for the breach accessed patients' information stored on the server. It tells patients as much:
Again, while our investigation continues into this matter, we have no evidence that your information was actually acquired or viewed by an unauthorized individual, and based upon reports of similar incidents, we do not believe that your health information was targeted by any unauthorized individual installing the software on the server. Our investigation to date, however, has been unable to reasonably verify that there was not unauthorized access of your information.
Cryptomining emerged as a salient threat in 2017. Tools responsible for generating (Read more...)

The installation meeting of Lancaster Castle Lodge No 5952 saw master elect James (Jim) Sexton Hamilton take the chair of this fine lodge for a second time, having already been master in 2001.
The principal guest and representative of the Provincial Grand Master Tony Harrison, was a familiar and much respected Mason John William Robson, who was accompanied by Lancaster and District Group Chairman Neil McGill, group vice chairman Scott Devine, group secretary Chris Larder and grand officers Phil Gardner, Jim Wilson, Chris Butterfield and Malcolm Dewhurst. Further distinguished support was provided by acting Provincial grand officers Reg Wilkinson, Les Newlands and Graham Dowling.
On being introduced to the principal guest by the lodge director of ceremonies Peter Whaley, who after many years of great service to the lodge was standing down at this installation, the WM John Clare welcomed John and his distinguished colleagues into the lodge and wished them a happy and enjoyable afternoon. John suitably responded by expressing his delight at being at Lancaster Castle Lodge and 'yes, he was determined to enjoy himself, but hoped that the WM and all the brethren would as well'.
The Master elect was presented by Alan Fleming, upon which installing master John Clare conducted the ceremony in fine style, together with his team of installing officers.
After assuming the chair of King Solomon, new master Jim was presented with faultless explanations of the working tools by three 'light blues'. Andrew Capocci presented the third degree tools, those of the second degree were explained by Thomas Wilkinson and those of the first degree were given by Daniel Millican.
In delivering the address to the master, Alan Fleming gave a very powerful performance, which was mirrored in the address to the wardens by Philip Howden and the address to the brethren by John Robson. The acting Provincial Junior Grand Deacon Reg Wilkinson, was asked to give the address to the deacons, which he gave in superb fashion.
As the ceremony drew to a close, John was delighted to bring to the newly installed master and the lodge, the greetings and congratulations of the Provincial Grand Master. John felt sure that had Tony been present in person, he would have been very impressed with the proceedings, as it had been one of the finest ceremonies he had seen for a long time; everyone had excelled. Tony would also have wished to thank Jim for taking the chair of the lodge again and to wish him the very best of health to enjoy his year in office.
After being presented with a number of cheques and a list of disbursements by John Clare, on behalf of the lodge, John was fulsome in his praise, commenting that these were wonderful donations. The beneficiaries of the lodge's generosity included the MCF 2021 Festival £2855 (including £1355 from the white envelope scheme), Lancaster Masonic Hall £1200, lodge widows £100, Masonic sporting charities £140, Sunbeam Childrens Charity £400, Positive Futures North West £250, North West Ambulance £400, North West Blood Bikes £465. Together with various other Masonic donations of £420, this gave a combined total of £6230, an unbelievable amount of money and one which John described as a 'wonderful achievement'.
On account of the money raised towards the MCF 2021 Festival, it entitled the lodge to be awarded 'Patron' status of the festival. A certificate acknowledging their achievement was passed by the group charity steward Simon Hanson to the principal guest, who then had the pleasant duty of presenting the certificate to Jim.
The Festival of St John held in the dining suite at Rowley Court was well attended, with well over 90 guests. In response to the toast to the grand officers, John Robson began by bringing his own personal congratulations and those of his grand lodge colleagues, to everyone who had played a part in the ceremony and affirmed his admiration for the fine standard of work he had witnessed earlier in the lodge room. John made particular mention of the young brethren who had presented the working tools as well as the DC Peter Whalley for arranging and choreographing such a magnificent ceremony. As this was his last ceremony as DC, John wished Peter much success in the future and passed on his best wishes to the new DC Richard Holdstock.
In drawing the attention of his audience to current Masonic issues, John elaborated on, amongst other topics, the MCF 2021 Festival and the Royal Arch.
In conclusion, John expressed his sincere wish that all the brethren would continue to enjoy their Freemasonry and that 'today he had been made to feel amongst friends'.
In proposing the toast to the newly installed master, Alan Fleming was well placed to provide some potentially embarrassing stories, being a close friend of Jim's, however he restricted his speech to an interesting but often humorous summarisation of Jim's personal life and Masonic career. Particular mention was made of the WM commitment to Lancaster Castle Lodge.
The master's song was performed by the consummate Gary Rogerson, with musical support by David Tattersall, following which the newly installed master made his response. Jim thanked all the brethren of Lancaster Castle Lodge for their encouragement, with particular praise for John Clare, who will be a hard act to follow.
One final detail of the evening was to present John Robson, on behalf of the lodge, with a bouquet of flowers for his wife.
A bonus, on top of what had already been an excellent afternoon and evening, was the announcement that the raffle had raised £624 for good causes and that with the additional 'donation' of £40 from the 'master's swindle', the grand total stood at £664.

SAT: Learning Beyond Language (Rachel Adams)
The use of visually augmented health education for low-literacy patients and carers in the community
Cloud created by:
Rachel Adams
31 December 2018
In 2017, more than 3.5 million Emergency Department attendances in England were considered unnecessary and could have been managed in the community (digital.nhs.uk). This puts tremendous pressure on the National Health Service, as well as being disruptive and upsetting for patients and their families.
One of the ways the NHS is seeking to tackle this situation is by increasing the availability and resilience of community-led healthcare. Keeping an unwell patient in their home environment, where it is appropriate to do so, has obvious benefits for the health service. However, it also reduces distress for the patients and their families as hospitals can be unfamiliar and confusing places. This in turn can have physiological and psychological benefits that improve patient care.
For the decision to manage an unwell patient in their home to be made, a healthcare professional must ensure that the patient or their carer knows how to evaluate the progression of the illness and how to respond in the case of deterioration. While face-to-face/telephone-based contact is essential in beginning this healthcare education journey, the amount of time a healthcare provider can personally give is limited. This needs to be supplemented by resources that can be left with or are accessible to the patient/carer to ensure comprehension and retention of information. Typically, this is done by the provision of written materials that explain the condition and any actions that need to be taken.
While this may be sufficient in the majority of cases, UK Census data shows that in some urban areas up to 12% of households do not count English as their main language (ons.gov.uk), and 16.4% of adults in England have 'very poor literacy skills' (literacytrust.org). This leaves a significant proportion of people disadvantaged and will inevitably contribute to unnecessary hospital attendances and admissions. A move towards visually augmented resources would reduce the reliance on language-based resources and increase the accessibility of health education. In turn, this will help reduce pressure on the NHS and ensure the best outcome for sick and vulnerable patients.
This presentation will first address the generic questions:
- What is visually augmented learning?
- Why is it important?
- Does it work?
It will then move on to consider what visually augmented resources for use in the community might look like and consider how open practice between clinical staff and developers, drawing on work done by the wider educational community, is essential for their successful creation and implementation.

Hello Rachel, I am glad to see you here at last!
I loved you poster when you first shared it with all of us. I think your project is very interesting. I advocate for visual aids whenever possible. I read your abstract and I think that your initiative could help many patients that, as you mentioned, English is not their first language or those who struggle reading text whatever their circumstances.
I can't wait to see your presentation. Best wishes,

Hello Rachel,
A really interesting and well needed project. I can see real benefits of visually augmented learning for patients in the community setting and can reduce any serious untowards incidences etc due to non-comprehension of materials.
Looking at the video, I like the layout a lot. Clean and simple, well done. Perhaps slowing down the video of the temperatures so you can see the figures and when to ring the numbers it moved a little bit too quickly. I had to watch it a few times to get the detail.
I wondered what networks you dipped into to develop the project and the website? Which ones were particularly useful? You mentioned drawing on work from the wider educational setting so just wondered if it was those networks.
The launch of the Topol Review: Preparing the healthcare workforce to deliver the digital future The Topol Review An independent report on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care February 2019 took place today and I really think use of virtual augmented learning in the way you explain it in your project could be included: https://topol.hee.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/HEE-Topol-Review-2019.pdf
It does look at augmented learning, simulation etc it made me think of elements of your project and how innovative it is. All the best with your presentation preparations and hope it goes well :-).

Though it was a shame you couldn't be at the conference for your presentation, I thought it was excellent. I loved the bus viusal as an analogy for excluding preople with low literacy. I also think visually augmented learning benefits a much wider pool of people (as universal design principles do). I am thinking of people like my elderly mother who is literate but who could benefit from more visual clues if feeling anxious or confused.

Hi Rachel
Well done on a great presentation! Shame fate prevented you from presenting live but it was clear from the comments that your recording went down very well. Here is a summary of the comments and questions you received following your presentation (including those you may have addressed verbally). Please respond in whatever way you choose - I suspect you may wish to deal with the first few in one response!
Best wishes
- This is a whole area I didn't know anything about, and it's immediately interesting and useful for me. Big thanks to Rachel Adams for introducing it to me!
- Do you think that 23yrs after the diabetes study that this type of learning is now more accepted? We live in a very visual world now with icons being used everywhere
- Excellent video. I think it is just as applicable to learners with high literacy skills.
- Are end-users involved in co-creation?
- Are there links to Makaton?#
- Excellent explanation Rachel. We struggle with the diabetic students' care plans. We are all relatively litterate and they are difficult. It would be excellent to have a visual representation.
- When did you first become interested in visually augmented learning?
- What are Rachel's plans for continuing research or practice in this area,
- What is the scope for visual approaches being more iterative? -- one of the difficulties I always have in creating presentations (for instance) is the time it takes to find the 'right' image.
- Thanks Rachel, use for neurodivrse learners too?

I left the office at noon to run an errand on my lunch hour, little knowing that I would come face-to-face with some Thai students in an unexpected way. I had to purchase my airline tickets for my trip to Nakorn Sritammarat and Trang and I had to pay my monthly Internet service provider bill as well. It did not take long to finalize my travel plans to visit the two schools that are the farthest south and I was quickly on my way to the shopping mall where CAT, my local Internet service provider, has an office that accepts monthly payments. Having been there before, it did not take long to make my payment and head back to the parking garage to get my car. I was minding my own business when, suddenly, I heard a small voice behind me calling, "Excuse me! Excuse me!" and I heard the sound of running feet. I turned and was instantly surrounded by Thai students in uniform. What were they doing the shopping mall in the middle of a school day? It did not take long for me to find out.
The designated spokesperson (or the student whose turn it was to do the interviewing) asked if I was busy or whether I could answer a few questions. I agreed to answer a few questions. The entire interview was conducted in English. What is my name? Why am I in Thailand? Do I like Chiangmai? Why do I like Chiangmai? Do I like Thai food? What is my favorite Thai food? There were about twelve questions. As one student asked the questions, the others helped her fill out the questionnaire, spelling some English words and making sure she asked everything she was supposed to ask me. Then, one of the other students took a photo of the two of us together – proof that she had actually interviewed someone and not just filled out the form. She thanked me and I went my way – only to be surrounded again when I rounded the corner by another group of students doing the same thing. The process was the same, but the questions were slightly different. After this interview, I found one of the teachers standing nearby and learned that the students were from Varee Chiangmai School and this was an English class. What a great way to give the students some practical experience speaking English to non-Thai people! It was fun to be a part of their learning experience and to see their enthusiasm for this activity. (And it's another idea to share with our schools as I visit!)

The Land of Shadows is one of nine dark realms in Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja.
The First Ninja banished the Sorceress to this realm in the year 1209. She escaped 800 years later, only to be banished once again by Randy Cunningham. Later on, Evil Julian was trapped here after Randy and Howard tricked him, only for him to escape by swapping places with the real Julian.
It is said that the dark magic contained within the Chaos Pearls is connected to this shadowy realm.

The material we used for the frame was white laminated melamine boards. These boards provide a smooth non-porous surface to pour the concrete into. So we cut a board larger than we wanted the finish slab to be. Then stripped out side pieces, with a table saw for the frame of the slab. We decided on 1 1/2 inch thick countertops. So the stripes we cut 1 1/2 inch wide. We marked off the dimensions on the flat melamine board and screwed the strips to the board using wood screws. This formed a tray on the surface of the larger board. (sorry, I don't a photo of this)
Once the frame is built, you want to run a bead of chalking along all the corners inside the frame. Then remove any excess chalking so the corners are still square. I just used my finger to run along the chalking line and wiped off the excess chalking. This allowed me to feel that there was no large buildup of chalking in the corners. We also experimented with using 1/2 round shoe molding to form a beveled edge to the overhang. We decided it was worth adding the molding. We cut the molding to fit snuggly into the frame along the front and used the chalking to hold it in place. (note: if using the molding, do all the chalking after the molding is in place.) You also want to keep in mind that you are pouring the countertops upside down. Be sure the beveled edge is where it needs to be once the tops are flipped over.
You can see the beveled edge in the photo below.
