Tuesday, December 23rd, 2003 – Day 308
I was up at 8.00am and headed to the market for some steam buns. I also left my bags at the hostel and only took a day pack. The bus was at 9.20am. It was cold. We had lunch after 3 hours. It was OK but I made the mistkake of not
getting off at Benzilan. I had expected two other locals to get off here but did not. I knew it was the town as I went throught it but its so small that once we passed it was too late to get off. I decided to stay non the extra 4 hours to Deqin.The town of Deqin is nothing to rave about. The whole purpose of the journey from Zhongdian to Deqin is the journey itself.
It was scary. There was ice ans snow on the road in shaded areas and we passed over very high ranges. There are no crah barriers. One mistake by the driver or oncoming traffic, and we would plummet hundreds on metres. I had to close my eyes part of the time.
Once there, I walked 200 metre to the Tibet Hotel. A twin bedded room was 50 Yuan (5 Euro). It was very cold. Its a small town with one main street.Lots of various tribes were down in the market. Its small with lots of outdoor POOL
tables. Still, many different looking faces. Some guys were as big as me, wearing cowboy hats and boots. Others were dressed in balck head to foot with red bekts with the women covering there faces. Others guys were wild looking
with long hair and as if they came from the stone age (no offense).
Anyway the real celebs are the goat like, feral like cows. They wander up and down the streets eating out of dustbins. Very extradordianry to wtch them as they take no notice of humans. There is little grass here and they eat anything from leaves (even dead ones) to human rubbish.
Anyway no restaurants have English menus here and I had two beers before I set off to eat. It can be difficult to get your point across. The first one was too hard so I had a beer (I was warming to the idea). In the next place we went throught the Lonely Planet. its the pits as it does not give the words (like the Vietnam Guide) for common food such as rice, noodles, chicken etc. All it gives is speciality food like ell, snake, shark. Anyway we joined the dots from various foods and I got a nice diner for 11 Yuan. I was hungry soon again (beer talking) and saw a a nice lady in a restaurant. It was empthy so I pointed to her fridge. She let me pick what I wanted. I choose a big streak (I was drunK0 and soona fter I had a massive bowl of rice fit for two and a separate pate of beef and vegetbles for 12 Yuan. I even started talking to another Diner.
As mentioned before 65% of Chinese men smoke. I ahve been offered dozens of times. Its a pity I must refuse as its a good way to begin a chat. Anyway I had one tonight. Teh meal cost 12 Yuan (.20 Euro). Its nice here that even though
there is no central heating, they haave a cool (Or hot) alternative. They place charcoal in stainles steel basin an light them. A restauranrt may have half a dozen of them. They place them beside you as you eat. They are very warm. The
five fingers guesthouse during the Gorge Trak had the same.
Anyway there was little to do tonight. I had a warm night with my thermal clothes and electric Blanket. I wathed a ba movie called Ed's Next Move on TV. Chinese TV buy the cheapest shoddiest movies. I did not see any other tourists about.

Wednesday, December 24th, 2003 – Day 309
We had passed three snow-capped mountains yesterday – Meili, Baimang and Haba – standing magnificently over the landscape, crisscrossed by the Jinsha River and Lancang (Mekong) river which are flanked by overhanging gorges.
Although many refer ZhongDian county as the "Shangri-la", a hidden paradise in James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon. Personally, Lonely Planet says Deqin is the REAL PARADISE.
I was up at 9.00am and visited the market. Various peopel werejust arriving. Tibetans, Lisus, Naxis and Yis. I decided to walk to to Fei Lai Temple. Well, I did not as it was 10km up hill. I hitched and got a lift from a National PArk Official. Excellent.

Deqin – A town on the valley floor on the road abck down from the Fei Lai Temple (24-12-2003)
Tibetan houses are very diiferent from all others I ahve seena nd they are very distinct. Built like fortresses Tibetan farmhouses are massive, squat, 3 storied things with earthen roofs and beautifully decorated brightly painted windows. Most have an inner courtyard on the third floor with perhaps an open granary on the fourth.
The Tibetan Fei Lai Temple is small with prayer cylinders inside and out. These cylinders contain sacred scripts whose vibrations go out into the universe when the cylinders are turned.
The mountain pass into Deqin valley lies at the snowline and the surrounding snowcapped mountaintops are blinding in the sunlight. The lower mountainsides are brown bare rock, too poor to host anything more than occasional scrub except for the few squares of cultivated fields of rice. Nevertheless, they are majestic and indescribably beautiful. In these mountains, mundane thoughts fall away and what remains borders on the spiritual. It is perhaps for this reason that the Tibetans build their monasteries in these regions, away from the material trappings of society.
In 1206 Genghis Khan broke through the Great Wall of China and in 1252 Kublai Khan rode into Yunnan. These mountains and the resistance of the fierce minority kingdoms cost him 27 years before subduing Yunnan and bringing it within the proper borders of China.
Anyway I had the place to myself and the views were fab. often the snow capped mountain can not be seen with cloud and mist but I had blue skies today. It was cold though. Every bus that came from Dqin stopped here so that passengers come burn some sacred bus, bow and pray for a safe journey. Most traffic stops here to pray Journey. it makes me fear for my bus journey back.
I walked back down and it was nice. i saw many goat like cattle eating leaves and twigs standing half way up mountain that seem too steep for any animal. They are like goats here.
It took me an hour to walk back down. There was little to do for the rest of the day. I had noodles twice. They only cost 2 Yuan on Zhongian but cost 2-5 here depending on what extra bit they trown in. They overcharge a little!!
Little to mdo. Drank a beer, wrote inthe traveller guesthouse book, watched them expalin English Christmas words like Carol-ling on TV. Nothing to do. Found an Internet Cafe behind a curtain. No English words like Internet or Email. Was
not in the mood and spend 30 minyutes there (2 Yuan). Had dinner in the same place as last night. nice lady, great food. Felt a bit lonely as it was my first Christmas away from home. USually I would be in the HARP bar having a few pints.
I miss it.
I was in bed by 10.45pm. It was cold and I decided to leave tomorrow- Christmas

So, it's not exactly, Christmas in July, but it's close. Every holiday season, the Charm City Craft Mafia puts on their famous Holiday Heap—one of our very favorite craft shows around. "The Mob," (as they're known) put on great (if too-crowded-with-shoppers-to-navigate) craft shows that always feature some of the best crafters and artisans from around town and away. What I like best about The Mob's craft shows is that they always feature a great variety of wares. There's something for everyone and every budget, and there are always local foodie favorites like Kinderhook Snacks around to provide the fuel you'll need to shop. The Mob keeps it simple by only organizing a couple of craft shows per year—and one of them is this weekend.
Pile of Craft (as this weekend's craft show is known) is the perfect opportunity to see the latest creations by your favorite local crafters. If you're a fan of Cotton Monster, Red Prairie Press, or Baltimore Papercuts, you can look forward to seeing them this weekend– and surely with brand new stuff. Returning out-of-town artists we love include Metamorphosis Metals (pictured above), and Horrible Adorables. I'm personally proud to say that on a recent visit, my mother was wearing the hair accessories I'd bought her as a birthday gift from Hannah's Ideas in Wood (she'll be at Pile of Craft, too—Hannah, not mom). If you're still kicking yourself for not springing for that ceramic mug or one-of-a-kind necklace in December (sure, it's hard to spend on yourself when it's all about gift-giving) this is your big chance. See? Christmas (kind-of) in July (er.. June).
Pile of Craft takes place this Saturday, June 22 from 10am-5pm at 2640 St. Paul St in Baltimore. For more information, visit www.charmcitycraftmafia.com.

№1 – The Original GORILLA GRIP
Why did this shower mat win the first place?
The product is very strong. Its material is stable and doesn't crack. I really enjoy the design. It is compact, comfortable and reliable. And it looks amazing!

Also great
The Momentum Home Modern Bath Premium Bathroom Rug with Non-slip Backing absorbs water as effectively as our main pick and dries a little more quickly, but between the synthetic fibers and the nonskid coating brushed on the back, we believe it's likely to be less durable over the long term. The chenille-style fibers are plusher and thicker than those of our pick, which feels nice but can be an obstruction to a swinging bathroom door. This rug also costs less than our pick, but it's more limited in color and size options, and the warranty is not as good.
How we picked and tested
Woven rugs are probably the most universally appealing, since they're comfortable underfoot, made to absorb well, and easy to clean.
Because there are so many styles and preferences for different types of rugs and mats, we split our review into three categories: woven, memory foam, and wooden (bamboo or teak usually).
Woven rugs are probably the most universally appealing, since they're comfortable underfoot, made to absorb well, and easy to clean. We wanted to test both cotton and synthetic versions, because they each have distinct advantages (and disadvantages). Cotton tends to absorb better but takes longer to dry. Synthetics, often made of polyesters or nylon, don't absorb quite as well—synthetic fibers tend to repel moisture because of their hydrophobic tendencies—but dry much faster. At the higher quality levels, cotton can cost more and last longer. We considered rugs with a variety of pile heights (the length of the fibers that stick up) but tried to focus on those that were about an inch or less thick and looked like they'd fit under a door (although that's pretty hard to determine just from specs and pictures online). Woven bath rugs can sometimes have a grandma-ish style; we avoided those, focusing on designs that looked more modern.
Memory foam appeals to some people because it gives underfoot and dries quickly. We found that the best memory-foam rugs are roughly ½ inch thick. If the foam is thicker than that, it feels swampy underfoot, whereas if it's thinner you lose that pampering effect of stepping onto the foam. The foam itself is encased by fabric, usually polyester microfiber, which dries quickly and feels especially soft against the skin. We preferred foam rugs with rectangular embossing, which helped water stay pooled on the rug. (Designs with straight embossed lines tend to let water run off the sides of the rug.) A binding that securely attaches all the way around and doesn't unravel or fray makes the rug more durable.
We dismissed any rugs or mats that lacked a nonskid backing. Rubberized backs are far safer than a slippery rug moving around your bathroom floor. For the woven and foam rugs, we preferred rugs with a thick latex or rubberized backing over rugs with a thin, painted-on coating; although a thick backing can make drying take longer, it's less likely to come off in the wash. We looked for wood mats with nonskid nubs or feet.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Besides the price, which we realize might be high for some people, the only real drawback of the Lands' End Supima Non-skid Bath Rug is that in our tests it dried slower than some competitors, particularly the synthetic rugs. Depending on the humidity and circulation in your bathroom, though, this rug should have no problem drying at a similar pace to a medium-weight terrycloth bath towel. We suspect that this Lands' End rug dries slower because of its cotton top and its thick latex backing, which probably retains moisture better than a thinner nonslip coating.
Manual mixer showers
Recommendations: For families with young children, a thermostatic mixer will avoid the risk of scalding.
Thermostatic mixer showers
Benefits: Avoids the risk of scalding, and the temperature is not affected by water use elsewhere in the home.
Electric showers
Electric showers are quick and convenient way to install a shower in almost any home. They contain their own heating units and so don't need to be connected to a hot water feed, making them ideal for installing in en suites or downstairs shower rooms.
Recommendations: Use as a simple solution for en suite bathrooms and shower rooms.
Benefits: Can be more economical. Temperature not affected by other water use in the house.
We work with some of the best electric shower manufacturers such as Aqualisa, Mira and Triton, to bring you a high quality range. Find out more about them with our electric shower buying guide. Please note: Electrical shower installation should always be carried out by an experienced professional.
Shower baths
If you just want to install a new shower system over your bath, you won't need a shower tray, but you will need a bath screen. A bath screen can provide a sleeker and more stylish alternative to a shower curtain, and there are lots of styles to choose from. We have single-screen or folding options, as well as complete over bath screens, and other handy additions such as built-in towel rails.
Fixed shower head
Perfect for designer bathrooms, this type of shower head is generally fixed to the ceiling or to the wall, creating a clean, high-end feel. They are great for creating a stylish and elegant look, and are luxurious and enjoyable to use.
However, they may not be the best choice for a busy family bathroom, as the head cannot be detached for more versatile use. There are both contemporary and more traditional styles available, so can be matched to any bathroom look.
Riser kit shower head
This type of shower head slots into a bracket fixed to the wall of your shower enclosure, meaning its position can moved according to the height of the person using it, as well as detach for just washing your hair or cleaning the bath or shower. There are also lots of different designs available in this style of shower head, so they can suit a wide range of bathrooms.
Combination shower head
A combination, or riser, set allows you to have both a fixed and a detachable shower head for maximum versatility. There are many different designs available in both contemporary and traditional styles, so it's easy to find what you want to create your perfect look.
Shower fittings & accessories
Unvented water systems have a hot water cylinder which is directly fed from the mains supply, without the need of a cold water tank. The water is heated by a boiler or immersion heater and has a strong pressure as it is coming directly from the main supply.
Cold mains supply
If you don't have stored hot water or don't want to use up the hot water when you shower, you can fit an electric shower to the cold mains supply. With an electric shower, the water is heated automatically when it's switched on which means you don't use up any hot water stored in a cylinder.
Mixer showers
Mixer showers take both hot and cold water and blend them together for the desired showering temperature. They have three different temperature controls. With manual control, your shower temperature may vary depending on changes to the incoming water supply.
Pressure balancing mixers compensate for an imbalance in pressure between the hot and cold water supplies, providing you with a stable showering temperature. This is particularly useful for combination boiler installations which often have imbalances between the hot and cold supplies.
Thermostatic mixer showers are great for families with young children or the elderly as they monitor the incoming water temperature and adjust it to provide a comfortable showering temperature.
Mixer showers are ideal if you have lots of stored water from a combi boiler or large hot water cylinder and generally provide a faster flow than electric showers. If your home has a low pressure system, you can install a pump to increase the flow for a more powerful shower.
Power showers
Power showers require a supply of both hot and cold water, which is then blended to the optimum temperature. They're designed for low pressure gravity fed systems and are available in manual and thermostatic versions. Power showers have an inbuilt pump so are able to significantly increase the flow rate from a gravity fed system.
Power showers are a great option if you have low water pressure in your home but they can use a lot more water. This is important to consider if your home has a water meter or a small supply of stored hot water.
Digital showers
Digital showers allow you to set the right temperature and flow of your water from a control panel. If your shower has a wireless remote control, the control panel can be located within a metre radius of the shower which means you can turn the shower on and wait for it to warm up to the desired temperature before getting in. You can also pre-programme the water temperature to suit your personal preferences, giving you complete control.
There are two different types of digital showers: a low pressure variant which has an inbuilt pump as part of the valve and a high pressure variant. Which type of digital shower you choose will be dependent on your water pressure and system.
A processor box is connected to the shower's controls though a wireless remote control and blends the hot and cold water supply to the required temperature using a digital thermostatic mixing valve. Water is delivered to the shower head through the riser rail, celling or wall, so there's no pipes on show. The processor box can also be hidden so it isn't on display within your bathroom.
Thermostatic temperature control
A thermostatic shower provide a constant water temperature, which isn't affected by the use of other household items. This prevents spikes in temperature which could lead to scalding. Manual temperature control showers do not have this.
From clear and patterned to 3-fold and 4-fold, our range of shower screens offer great protection against water spray.
Boost the water strength and overall performance of your mixer shower with a pump. A pump is used to simultaneously boost hot and cold water supplies so you can enjoy a more powerful shower.
Bathroom Accessories
As our little babies begin to grow and become more independent, the tasks that we once helped them with will soon become their own responsibility. One of the most important places at home to be aware of dangers is the bathroom so that we can teach our kids about safety around water.
According to Parents magazine, the bathroom is full of hazards for your child that many people are unaware of. The tub and shower are a risk for young children due to their slippery nature, so a quality non-slip bath mat is the best protection you can give your children.
Modern bath mats can be literal lifesavers, preventing from slips, slides and trips that can do serious damage to your little ones. Check out our buyer's guide for bath mat sets that will prove both practical and personable in your bathroom.
Baths Mats for All Ages
Not only are bath mats for kids, but there are lots of other styles of bath mats on the markets. Hospitals, assisted living homes, hotels, and gyms are just some of the places where you might find modern bath mats that prevent slips and trips. The elderly in particular are prone to slipping in the bathroom, with rates of bathroom injuries for over 85s significantly higher than other adults.
Parents might like their own unique bath mats for use in their ensuite to ensure their own safety, or perhaps one of the fun bath maths to add a bit of personality into your bathroom at home.
Environmental Hazards
One third of all falls in the elderly population involve hazards at home. Factors include: poor lighting, loose carpets and lack of safety equipment.
However, falls are not an inevitable part of growing older. Many falls can be prevented, by making the home safer and using products that help keep seniors more stable and less likely to fall.
Install at least one stairway handrail that extends beyond the first and last steps.
Make sure rugs, including those on stairs, are tacked to the floor.
Remove loose throw rugs.
Avoid clutter. Remove any furniture that is not needed. All remaining furniture should be stable and without sharp corners, to minimize the effects of a fall.
Change the location of furniture, so that your elderly parent can hold on to something as they move around the house.
Do not have electrical cords trailing across the floor. Have additional base plugs installed so long cords are not necessary.
Install Grab Bars
Grab bars provide extra stability and assistance during transfers. They are typically installed in areas where a senior may need something to hold on to for added balance. Bathrooms are a common location for grab bars, since they can help seniors sit down and get up from the toilet and enter and exit the bathtub or shower safely.
Anti-Slip Mats
Install anti-slip mats on the bath tub or shower floor. The hard rubber material prevents the elderly person from slipping and provides stability.
This Gorilla Grip Bath and Shower Mat features excellent gripping and fits any size bathtub.
You can also throw in your washing machine! Wash on cold with gentle detergent (no bleach), and air dry.
Making over a busy family bathroom? A glass bath shower screen is a smart and practical choice. Designed to fix to the wall and over your bath, it's easier to clean than a shower curtain, and will provide more of a sense of light and space, even the smallest room.
We've picked out our favourite bathtub shower screens below. Scroll down, and you'll also find a handy buyer's guide.

Video Of The Week
A quick wipe after each shower with an appropriate cleaner should keep it sparkling. Opting for a special wipe-clean or anti-calcium surface will keep it looking better for longer. This is a see-through coating over the top of the glass. It helps to reduce water spots from limescale and mineral deposits and helps to prevent bacteria and mould growth.
Up to 80% of falls in the home are in the bathroom.
Walking and attempting to use towel bars, sink tops or other objects to support balance.
Use a shower chair.
A shower chair can provide stability for an elder with difficulty balancing and a rest place for those who have difficulty standing for long periods of time. A good shower chair has rubber tips on the legs to prevent sliding. When used with a hand-held shower head, an elder can remain seated while bathing.
Use a tub-attached grab bar.
If an elder uses a tub to bathe, they need to step over the tub's high sides whenever they get in and out.
Clamp on" safety bars are designed for steel bath tubs and can't be easily tightened onto newer fiberglass or acrylic tubs without cracking the tub. A tension pole can serve as an alternative.
A rubber non-slip mat.
A mat or non-slip adhesive strips applied to the bathtub and shower floor surface provides stable footing. Sometimes elders with decreased vision and poor depth perception view bathtub surfaces as "bottomless pits" and become fearful when entering. Placing a mat or strips on the tub/shower floor can eliminate this problem by providing visual cuing.
These can be placed on the top of sink edges to guard against hand slippage if these surfaces are used for balance support.
Use a raised toilet seat.
Elders may have difficulty lowering themselves down to sit on a low toilet seat and rising to a standing position safely (due to lack of arm and leg strength and balance). A raised toilet seat (raises toilet seat height by 3-inches) reduces the amount of squatting and the distance that has to be covered to sit on the toilet.
Grab bars on the raised seat itself provide added safety.
Bedside commodes are beneficial if toilets are difficult for an individual to use. Elders who have a difficult time traveling to the bathroom because of the location of the bathroom also benefit from bedside commodes.
Install a telephone in the bathroom. Having a phone nearby in the event of a fall and/or injury ensures that the elder gets help quickly. This may be life-saving for an elder who lives alone. As an alternative, a medical alert system (that's waterproof) can be used.
Is the pathway from the bedroom to the bathroom dark? A poorly-lit pathway can easily cause a fall. Use nightlights to create a well-lit path to the bathroom. Having nightlights in the bathroom helps as well.

As I write this post my eyes are burning, I can barely keep them open!Every night I think I must be asleep by 10.30pm tonight incase Joshua wakes in the night…this never happens!2.30am…Joshua wakes up and climbs into our bed…not too bad I thought he'll fall back asleep in a minute. Well last night Joshua decided to he was refusing to sleep with a nappy and had to and I mean had to take it off! This argument lasted until 4.30am…I contemplated letting him take it off and waking up in a pool of piss…but I then I thought maybe not.As my alarm went off at 6.30am I almost cried…Joshua was still fast asleep! 😩How I envied the stay at home mum's today that would be able to sleep when they sleep! Maybe I could sleep under my desk at work..
*coffee my only saviour
Today is the 11th, which means in two months time Joshua will be two years old. It feels like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital…this morning's feeling has definitely reminded me of those newborn sleepless nights.
Fast forward almost two years later, will I ever sleep or am I just destined to look 40 by the time I'm 30. Only time will tell.

People in Devon are being asked for their views on 5G as part of a council-led 'call for evidence' on the technology.
Devon County Council (DCC) said local concern has led to it running an investigation into the emerging high-speed mobile internet.
It said it has no plans to make use of 5G in its ICT and is not involved with planning applications for mobile infrastructure.
An online questionnaire is now available inviting members of the public to give their views, it also asks what evidence and information the council should consider in reviewing the technology.
Camilla de Bernhardt Lane, DCC's head of scrutiny, said: "We want to hear from as many people as possible across Devon regarding 5G technology.
"The information shared will be used in our Councillor-led spotlight review. While scrutiny can only make recommendations, this work is planned to help to inform council policy on 5G technology.
"This is your opportunity to let our review know your thoughts and what you feel Devon County Council might do to address any concerns you have."
Feedback must be submitted by Monday, December 9 and those who fill in the questionnaire will have the opportunity to take part in a discussion with the scrutiny group at a later date.

Welcome, friends, to the first Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan posts of our second year! Yes, week 53 is here! If you missed our 1st year anniversary post last week, please go back and check it out. We all shared our most popular, tried and true recipes, and you will love all of them. You can find that post here.
And find all our posts in our archives.

Want to pin this post? Here you go! I think you'll prolly want to pin this, because this is a great week of menus. To summarize, we have 2 InstantPot (read FAST) meals, quesadillas and sheet pan salmon (also fast), AND Pizza Friday. Huzzah! Our extras are two tasty adult beverages, so be sure to check them out down at the bottom of the post, you guys.
Smoky Beef Carnitas from me. These carnitas? Seriously amazing. Making them is a bit of a process, but nothing about it is hard. Make them on Sunday and use the meat as taco filling, to top nachos or a salad, in the quesadillas or even as a pizza topping. So. Delicious.
Instant Pot French Onion Meatloaf from The Speckled Palate. No words, friends. Just comfort. Pure, Tuesday night, Instant Pot comfort.
Mango Chicken Quesadillas with Brie from Comfortably Domestic. What a fantastic combination of flavors Kirsten has come up with. Ooey, rich brie, tender chicken, and sweet, earthy mango. Winner!
Sheet Pan Honey Chipotle Salmon from Pook's Pantry. I am truly coming to believe that a sheet pan is a busy person's best tool to make a quick, easy supper. Just put whatever you're going to eat on a sheet pan, and roast. Of course, a honey chipotle marinade does not hurt. No, it does not.
Bacon & Pickled Pepper Pizza from me. Make your own dough or grab some frozen or fresh at the store. Peter Piper would adore this pizza, and he's appreciate the addition of bacon, too. The zing of the pickled peppers cuts through the fattiness of the cheese and bacon. Plus: vegetables!
Blueberry Mint Juleps from The Speckled Palate. This right here? What a gorgeous beverage. You want this. Bourbon never had it so good.
Mint Julep Kombucha Cocktail from Pook's Pantry. Zingy and "practically good for you," says Cheryl. And I believe her. She is brewing her own kombucha, but use your favorite. Or ask her to teach you how to make your own. And then add sugar, mint and bourbon. Yes.
See, I told you it was a good week! I hope you enjoy this menu plan friends, and that it helps you answer the question, "What's for dinner?" Grab your pens and get to work on that shopping list.
Thank you so much for spending some time with us today.
Take care, and have a lovely day.

National building contractor Stepnell has won the contract to deliver a £2.85 million foodservice refurbishment and extension project at Bromsgrove School.
The scheme will transform the present dining hall to create a contemporary food hall catering for 1,400 students each day at the leading independent co-education day and boarding school in Worcestershire.
Construction work is underway by Stepnell's Kidderminster team on the major redevelopment programme, which is set for completion in August 2015.
As well as a modern food-hall style servery area and new staff dining facilities, the project will create a brand new kitchen, housed in one of three extensions to the current building.
Catering Insight contacted the company for details of the kitchen aspect of the scheme, but had not received a reply at the time of publishing.
In a release announcing the contract, Stepnell's West Midlands construction director, Alan Lyons, said: "We're delighted to be continuing our highly successful working relationship with Bromsgrove School.
"This is a major project which will create a cutting-edge kitchen and stunning new dining hall facility where students and staff can enjoy eating and socialising in a stylish and comfortable environment."

La Spezia is a port city in Liguria, Italy. Its 1800s maritime arsenal and the Technical Naval Museum, with ship models and navigational instruments, attest to the city's seafaring heritage. The hilltop St. George's Castle houses an archaeological museum with artifacts from prehistory to the Middle Ages. The nearby Amedeo Lia Museum exhibits paintings, bronze sculptures and illuminated miniatures in a former convent.
Pisa is a city with aristocratic airs and rich in charm that, thanks to the nearby sea, emanates a special light. Its most famous attraction is without doubt the Leaning Tower and yet, besides the wonders of Piazza dei Miracoli, the city contains incredible surprises. Pisa is so ancient it doesn't really have a birthdate but it's been tied to the sea ever since its first days. It was founded in one of the great bays along the Arno River
Naples, a city in southern Italy, sits on the Bay of Naples. Nearby is Mount Vesuvius, the still-active volcano that destroyed nearby Roman town Pompeii. Dating to the 2nd millennium B.C., Naples has centuries of important art and architecture. The city's cathedral, the Duomo di San Gennaro, is filled with frescoes. Other major landmarks include the lavish Royal Palace.
Florence , capital of Italy's Tuscany region, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. One of its most iconic sights is the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and a bell tower by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia displays Michelangelo's "David" sculpture. The Uffizi Gallery exhibits Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and da Vinci's "Annunciation."
Rome, Italy's capital, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture and culture on display. Ancient ruins such as the Forum and the Colosseum evoke the power of the former Roman Empire. Vatican City, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, has St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, which house masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes .
Sicily, the largest Mediterranean island, is just off the "toe" of Italy's "boot." Its rich history is reflected in sites like the Valley of the Temples, the well-preserved ruins of 7 monumental, Doric-style Greek temples, and in the Byzantine mosaics at the Cappella Palatina, a former royal chapel in capital city Palermo. On Sicily's eastern edge is Mount Etna, one of Europe's highest active volcanoes.

Heya! I'm Jess aka Jelly. (Jelly is my forever nickname and long time camp name) I mostly go by Jelly but you can call me Jess, Jelly, J, J Boogie.
I'm 30 years young and I went to camp as a kid and always had so much fun I wanted to have camp be a part of my adulthood! I was a counselor for a summer and kitchen staff for three! I am originally from Iowa but would like to move my way to the west coast and start a life out there. In my spare time I love hammocking, writing, painting, hanging out with friends, dressing up in a banana costume with my family dog, and cooking for other people. I have two cats named Zephora who is 8 and Ziggy who is 3, I call them Mama and Zigbert. They are the loves of my life!
I have done a lot of community service and volunteer work for the mental health community as far as walks, seminars, and generalized awareness! I also have had experience volunteering for children's cancer awareness and breast cancer awareness. I truly enjoy being part of the education and awareness while networking and getting to know people's experiences and backgrounds. I want to work at camp because children are raw and unfiltered and their creative drive fuels me to be more creative as well. I am positive that my working at camp I can share my love for cooking with children and hope they find a love for it as well. I look forward to meeting all of my fellow staff and all the amazing campers this summer will bring! I am so excited for meeting all of you!

1997 Lexus LX 450 4WD
$9,500Plus Taxes & LicensingSold
Japanese automakers are being very cautious these days. High production costs are softening sales across the board, and executives across the Pacific are frantically searching for ways to cut costs. Decontenting is one way to do this. Badge engineering is the other. Lexus chose the latter method when making the decision to offer a sport utility vehicle.
The Toyota Land Cruiser, legendary desert runner and jungle jumper, was donated to the Lexus team of plastic surgeons. They grafted a new grille, new headlamps, new alloy wheels, and bodyside cladding onto Toyota's big SUV. Inside, they added leather and wood. Underneath the sheetmetal, suspension tuning was reworked to provide a better ride on the pavement. Standard equipment levels were raised to include automatic climate controls, rear seat heater, and an amazing 195-watt audio system powering seven loudspeakers. Topping things off, a LX450 badge was added to the tailgate.
The rest of Land Cruiser remains intact on the LX450. The familiar 4.5-liter inline six produces 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. of torque. Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are standard, and the LX450 can tow 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. All-wheel drive is permanently engaged, and an optional manual differential lock system provides outstanding traction, for the two LX450 owners who will actually go way off-road in truly lousy weather. Dual airbags and adjustable front seat belts come standard, as well as a handy first-aid kit.
You'll pay a $7,000 premium over the Land Cruiser to get into a LX450, which is less than you'd spend optioning the Toyota up to Lexus standards. Factory options on the LX450 include a CD changer, moonroof, and differential locks. Incredibly, floor mats and wheel locks are optional. Talk about nickel-and-diming; these items should be included as standard equipment.
Land Rover sales have been skyrocketing, and luxury marques from the United States and Japan have definitely noticed. However, at $47,000, the only reason to purchase a LX450 is for status value, or to save a few thousand over the cost of a Range Rover 4.0 SE. Most luxury SUV intenders will find the value inherent in the GMC Yukon SLE, Chevy Suburban LT, and upcoming Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator twins more attractive than nice leather and wood inserted into a tough Toyota

With only a few days to go, the final details are all in hand with the team well prepared to help all of our clients attending and exhibiting at the Forum in Luxembourg.
The agenda for the European Captive Forum presents the delegates with a truly global view of opportunities and challenges in the market and it will be interesting to see how the market is responding to economic, geographic and social changes – all of which will no doubt shape current and future demands and the way in which the market responds to risk and opportunity. The recent European Risk and Insurance Report from FERMA gave us some further insight into the world of Captives, so I'm sure that this will be on the agenda too as the leaders of the market make the bi-annual trip to the centre of Europe.
We are certainly seeing a greater level of investment in marketing and communications at this event, and more widely in the market as a whole. I am sure that the level of investment from those attending will be greater this year than in 2014, and the list of exhibitors continues to grow with Chubb leading the way as Platinum Sponsor and a strong showing from Gold Sponsors – AIG, Allianz, Aon, AXA, Marsh, XL Catlin and Zurich. Interesting to see technology heading the list too with Noria exhibiting.
Naturally, regulation and risk management is uppermost in the planned presentations – we have to understand the market space and how this shapes what is possible. Opportunities in other territories from the US to Asia are explored on both days, as well as the ongoing expansion into the Asian markets.
Lots to talk about, so see you in Luxembourg.

Actions or threatened actions on France, EU, Argentina, Brazil and China
In today's updates:
* France promises EU retaliation after U.S. tariff proposal
Markets: U.S. stock futures are signaling lower values, a day after the Dow sank 270 points and the S&P 500 posted its worst one-day decline since Oct. 8. "In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal, but they want to make a deal now and we will see whether or not the deal is going to be right," President Trump told reporters in London today. Meanwhile, the state-run Global Times said China will release an "unreliable entity list" soon — aimed at punishing businesses deemed harmful to Chinese interests — that reportedly includes U.S. entities.
Chicken sandwich wars. McDonald's began December by entering into the "Chicken Wars," a food fight Popeyes challenged Chick-fil-A with in August by releasing its Chicken Sandwich. The contender from the Golden Arches is reported to feature a fried chicken filet served on a buttery potato roll, with butter and pickles (a deluxe version also includes tomatoes, lettuce and mayo). McDonald's is testing the new sandwich in Houston, Texas and Knoxville, Tennessee until Jan. 26.
Ninety thousand packages disappear in New York each day, and package theft has soared in other cities as well, leading to some creative measures to thwart thieves. Link to NYT article.
— In President Trump's trade policy battles, no steps forward and several big steps back. President Donald Trump's move to propose duties on up to $2.4 billion of French goods, including wine, cheese, Champagne and handbags) over a tech tax, restore tariffs on steel from Brazil and Argentina, plus a threat to increase levies on Chinese goods if a Phase 1 deal can't be reached between the two.
- Trump and France: A report from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) declared a French tax on technology onerous and that retaliatory tariffs as high as 100% on French wines, cheeses and handbags would be justified. The report did not impose such tariffs but cleared the way for Trump to do so if he chooses. The U.S. said the digital revenue tax France has proposed "discriminates" against U.S. companies and it is exploring whether to open investigations into similar digital levies in Austria, Italy and Turkey. While threatening levies on new categories of imports from France, the Trump administration said it would consider whether to impose "fees or restrictions" on French services. The new tariffs will not be imposed until after a public comment period that includes a hearing in Washington on Jan. 7, where producers and consumers of the affected goods can argue against them, and a Jan. 14 deadline for rebuttal comments. (The U.S. has already targeted French wines and many other ag products in a separate dispute over European subsidies for Airbus.)
- Trump and the EU: The U.S. Trade Representative's office said it was looking at broadening a range of punitive tariffs on EU products, including goods from the U.K., France, Spain and Germany, because of subsidies to Airbus, the aircraft maker, that have been judged as illegal by the World Trade Organization (WTO).
France reacts. French finance minister Bruno Le Maire called the Trump administration's latest threat "unacceptable" and said the EU would retaliate with "a strong riposte." "If there should be new sanctions from the Americans, the EU is ready to retaliate," Le Maire said on Radio Classique. The U.S. proposals, he said, were not actions worthy of an ally. "It's in no one's interest, it's not in the interest of growth, or of political stability," he said.
- Trump targets Argentina and Brazil: On Monday, Trump made a surprise announcement that he would restore tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from Brazil and Argentina, jolting markets and accelerating his global trade war. He accused both countries of currency manipulation. The Trump administration exempted Brazil, Argentina and other countries from the president's metal tariffs in March 2018, with the Trump administration saying it would continue negotiations with those countries to improve their trade terms. In May 2018, the U.S. announced that it had reached an agreement with Brazil and Argentina that would cap their metal shipments (export quotas) at a specific volume each year. Argentina makes up less than 1% of U.S. steel imports. Imports from Brazil have increased by nearly 50% this year, making up for lower imports from Turkey, Canada and other countries that were hit with the Section 232 tariffs.
Currency wars. Last week the Brazilian currency, the real, fell to a record low against the dollar after the country's economic minister signaled that he was not concerned about exchange-rate fluctuations. Trade tensions and domestic concerns about unrealized tax and public-sector reforms have pulled the real to a record low of 4.27 to the dollar. Currency movements have made Brazilian and Argentine goods cheaper to purchase abroad, particularly important for the agricultural sector and the U.S.' trade war with China. China has shifted to purchasing products from Brazil and Argentina instead, a move that has upset Trump and other American officials. "I gave them a big break on tariffs, but now I'm taking that break off because it's very unfair to our manufacturers and very unfair to our farmers," Trump told reporters on Monday. "Our steel companies will be very happy, and our farmers will be very happy."
Were Brazilian officials surprised? Yes. Brazil's conservative populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, had gone to great lengths to strengthen ties with the Trump administration. "Aluminum?" Bolsonaro asked when reporters presented him with Trump's tweet. "If that's the case, I'll call Trump. I have an open channel with him."
As for Argentina, Dante Sica, Argentina's minister of production, called the move "completely unexpected... I was in Washington last week, and I talked to a lot of people, and there was no sign whatsoever that there would be any kind of change," he said. Sica dismissed the claim that Brazil and Argentina have been deliberately devaluing their currencies. "Our currency has a flexible exchange rate and adapts itself to global changes," he said.
- China: The ongoing U.S./China trade war: If the Trump administration and Chinese officials can't finalize a partial trade deal by Dec. 15, the U.S. is prepared to drop the "hammer" on Beijing, said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Trump is threatening to slap 15% duties on another $156 billion in Chinese goods on that date. "If nothing happens between now and then, the president has made clear he'll put the tariffs in," Ross told Fox Business Network on Monday. Ross said the key questions regarding potential ag purchases is "how far do they go in this phase, and how enforceable" are the commitments.
President Trump suggested the trade war with China could drag on beyond the 2020 election. Trump said he had "no deadline" for a trade deal with China. He spoke at a meeting with the heat of NATO in London today. And giving some proof to what some observers have said for months, Trump added, "In some ways I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal"... it is dependent on "Do I want to make it?" The president again stated the U.S. is "doing very well" with China. "And China is paying for it, and China is having by far the worst year that they have had in 57 years. So we'll see what happens," Trump said.
Meanwhile, China may designate a list of "unreliable entities," which could lead to restrictions on American firms. The state-run Global Times said China intends to punish America for passing a bill about human-rights abuses in Xinjiang, its north-western Muslim region.
— Perspective on escalating Trump trade battles: Here we go again is giving Dolly Parton the fits. Trump's return to an aggressive stance on trade spooked investors, leading to a fall in equity indices. But it also likely shows Chinese officials, if they didn't have the feelings before, that even if they do reach any Phase 1 accord with the Trump administration, the agreement could become undone if something, however minor, upsets Trump. Other countries wanting to negotiate trade matters with the U.S. will also take note of the ups and downs of dealing with a volatile presidency.
The return of Trump's trade confrontations could significantly impact the economies of some countries and some sectors in the U.S., including farmers and agribusiness.
— China insists pork supplies relatively ample. Inventories of frozen pork in China in the fourth quarter are considered to be relatively ample, according to Yang Zhenhai, director of the ag ministry's animal husbandry and veterinary bureau. Imports and commercial stocks have boosted state pork reserves, he noted. The focus is on making sure pork supplies are in place for the late-January Lunar New Year holiday.
— China has used up almost all of its waivers — about 10 million metric tons — to purchase American soybeans that are free of retaliatory tariffs, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News (link). Beijing is unlikely to issue new waivers for U.S. supplies before progress is made in trade negotiations with Washington, one of the people said. China has been issuing waivers that allow buyers to ship in U.S. soybeans without having to pay the 30% retaliatory tariffs Beijing adopted in response to American levies. Total export commitments to China for soybeans so far in the 2019-20 marketing year stand at 9.307 million tonnes, with outstanding sales of 3.75 million tonnes and 5.56 million tonnes already shipped.
— Grassley: USMCA deal needed this week for year-end ratification. If a deal on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is not reached by the end of this week, "I do not see how the USMCA can be ratified in the year we're in," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said yesterday on AgriTalk radio and on the Senate floor. "By all accounts, the deal is close," Grassley said. "I urge House Democrats to act quickly and be reasonable so that we can finally deliver certainty on this issue to the American people."
Grassley said he has recently been in touch with both House lawmakers and members of the Trump administration. "By all accounts," he said, "a deal is close."
The Trump administration is considering scaling back intellectual-property protections for drugmakers to help win Democratic support for a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada, the Wall Street Journal reported (link).
Note: Sen. Grassley had some rather explosive things to say on AgriTalk Monday morning. He was somewhat critical of the president over the reimposition of steel and aluminum tariffs today and he suggested that Andrew Wheeler may see his career at EPA end if the RFS rules are not changed. Listen to the audio.
— Growth Energy says EPA supplemental plan 'fails' to deliver on biofuels. Formal comments filed by Growth Energy on EPA's supplemental plan under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to account for obligations waived via small refinery waivers (SREs) "fails to provide the certainty and stability that America's farmers and biofuel producers need to rebuild after years of demand destruction," said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. "It offers a solution based on outdated and inaccurate estimates, potentially keeping billions of gallons of biofuels off the market."
As other biofuel backers said in their comments on EPA's supplemental plan, Skor stated the EPA plan runs counter to commitments on the RFS by President Donald Trump. She reiterated their call for the SREs to be accounted for via a rolling average of those actually exempted from the three most recent compliance years, not the plan to use an average of the exemptions recommended by the Department of Energy.
The final rule from EPA on the 2020 biofuel and 2021 biodiesel levels is expected to come "this winter," according to an agency spokesman, with the agency's regulatory guidance indicating it is expected yet this month.
— Other items of note:
House on Monday extended its legislative schedule by one week, so lawmakers will remain in town until Dec. 20, when a continuing resolution expires. The move was expected.
North Korea threatened the U.S. with a bad 'Christmas gift.' A top official said that the U.S. needs to find a new approach to denuclearization talks. Previous "gifts" from Pyongyang have included a short-range rocket test on Thanksgiving, and an intercontinental ballistic missile test on the Fourth of July two years ago.
Progress on FY20 spending bills. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said lawmakers are working to finish fiscal 2020 government spending bills by the end of the year, after reaching an agreement on the top-line amounts for the 12 bills. Schumer said Democrats will insist on investments in infrastructure and will continue to oppose any effort to take money from military projects to pay for President Donald Trump's border wall.
Senate confirmed Dan Brouillette on a 70-15 vote to succeed Rick Perry as Energy secretary. Brouillette has been deputy secretary since August 2017.
The water wars that defined the American west head east. Urban growth and a surge in crop irrigation are taxing water supplies and fueling interstate legal fights, such as one in which Georgia and Florida battle over how much should be drawn from a river basin they share. Link to Wall Street Journal article. "Farmers' rising thirst, together with urban growth and climate change, is now taxing supplies and fueling legal fights pitting states against one another. The shift has exposed the region to water-supply changes occurring globally — as swelling populations, surging industrial demand and warmer temperatures turn a resource long viewed as a natural right into a contested one," the article notes.
Treasury Department issued new rules on two major pieces of the 2017 tax law that will lessen the exposure of U.S.-based multinationals. Link to WSJ article.
A shortage of french fries? Cold, wet weather damaged potato crops in the U.S. and Canada, leading to tight supplies. Link to Bloomberg article.
Trump strikes back at Bloomberg News. Bloomberg News announced that it would not investigate the presidential candidates in the Democratic field. In retaliation, Trump's re-election campaign said on Monday that it would bar Bloomberg News journalists from attending its rallies and political events.
— Markets. The Dow on Monday fell 268.37 points, 0.96%, at 27,783.04. The Nasdaq dropped 97.48 points, 1.12%, at 8,567.99. The S&P 500 lost 27.11 points, 0.86%, at 3,113.87.
Cyber Monday sales were on course to bring in a record $9.2 billion for U.S. retailers, according to estimates, up 16.9% from a year ago.

Mondo gave them the toll free number 116, so that all survivors or victims of rape are able to report the cases to police or any other authority.
Amina Osman, a refugee in Nakivale refugee camp in Isingiro district, Southwestern Uganda has asked government and development partners to put measures in place to address the challenge of rape in refugee camps.
Currently Uganda is home to over 1.2 million refugees of which 900,000 are South Sudanese. Others are from DRC, Burundi, Somalia, Ethiopia and Rwanda.
Osman who is a peer educator in the camp said some girls and women have confided in her and told her how they were raped and defiled.
"Something needs to be done to address the issue of rape in refugee camps," she requested.
Amina Osman, a refugee talking to the New Vision during a press briefing at the Uganda solidarity Pre-summit workshop with young people on refugees.
She made the remarks during the pre-summit youth workshop held at United Nations Population (UNFPA) offices in Kampala on Wednesday.
The meeting which brought together young people from different refugee camps from across the country was under the theme "Young people are an asset for inclusive sustainable development of refugees and host communities
It was organized by the UNFPA in partnership with Reach A Hand Uganda (RAHU).
In response to Osman's concern, Mondo Kyateka, the Commissioner for Youth at the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development said acts of sexual violence and rape in settlement areas are barbaric, and unacceptable and government strongly condemns such acts.
He noted Uganda is a people-loving country, that is home to many refugees and therefore a few people that are involved in rape-related crimes are 'rotten tomatoes'
Mondo gave them the toll free number 116, so that all survivors or victims of rape are able to report the cases to police or any other authority.
The UNFPA country representative Alain Sabinaler said rape is not acceptable whether one is a refugee camp or not.
"No matter where one is, or the circumstances they are going through, rape is not acceptable and should not happen," he said.
The Royal Danish Ambassador Mogens Pedersen giving his key note address during the Uganda solidarity Pre-summit workshop with young people on refugees.
He said as an agency, they have trained several people who will deal with things like clinical management of rape in refugee camps as well as prevention and response.
Other issues the refugees raised at the meeting include; limited access to microfinance, lack of funds for to finance their project, inadequate scholastic materials, language barrier, and inadequate scholarships.
They called on government and development partners to add on the number of scholarships, increase on the number of teachers in schools where they go to, provision of market for their products and provision of funds to run youth-led projects.
