Hundreds of former servicemen and their families armed with traditional silk scarves and garlands of marigolds for Ms Lumley gathered at Kathmandu airport for what they called her "homecoming". Many waved Union flags and banners.
As well-wishers and even the policemen in charge of crowd control pressed around the actress for a closer look, the crush was so intense it took around 15 minutes for her to walk 30 yards to her waiting car.
"It's a very warm welcome. I'm very emotional. If it wasn't for a Gurkha who saved my father's life I'd never have been born, which is a grim thought," she told The Daily Telegraph, with a thick pile of silk scarves and garlands on her shoulders.
She added that she was "delighted" to finally visit Nepal, before shouting "Ayo Gurkhali!", echoing the soldiers' war cry that means "The Gurkhas are coming".
Ms Lumley, 62, was born in Kashmir in what was then British India, the daughter of a Gurkha officer who fought in Burma during the Second World War.
She has said of her campaign to win the right for the former soldiers to settle in Britain that her father "would have been overwhelmed with shame at the British treatment of the Gurkhas".
Earlier this year she helped force the Government to back down in its policy of allowing only Gurkhas who retired after 1997, when the brigade's headquarters moved from Hong Kong to Britain, to retire in the UK. After Gordon Brown backed down in May, all former British Gurkhas with four years' service are now eligible to apply to settle in Britain.
Among the crowds at the airport was Narendra Jung Gurung, who served for 16 years in VI Gurkha Rifles. Spotting Ms Lumley he said in broken English: "Our goddess, a great supporter."
Mr Gurung, 59, said he intends to move to Britain in three months and hopes to find work as a security guard. "If I go with my family to London I will be very happy," he said. "I will get a job in London."
Sunam Rai, 19, said her father – who retired from the British Army in 1996 – recently moved to Britain and she is looking forward to joining him.
"Of course we want to go, for the education and for jobs," said Miss Rai.
But she admitted she has spoken to other relatives who are already in Britain. "They say it is difficult over there. They do not get jobs easily. All the expenditures are very heavy," she said.
Miss Rai's mother said: "We have to get a job and settle for the sake of the children. I'm very excited, very happy".
Others said they have not yet decided whether to make the move. Bala Kaji Rai, 51, was smartly dressed in a blazer and regimental tie.
"If we migrate to the UK what is the future?" he asked. "We are already settled in Nepal. We haven't decided whether to sell our property here.
"I think I might drive a taxi in the UK, if I go," he said mournfully, to the laughter of his smartly dressed friends. "We [Gurkhas] normally work as security guards but I am too old to stand around in such horrible weather."
On Monday Ms Lumley has meetings scheduled with the foreign minister, the prime minister and the president of Nepal, tea at the British Embassy and a function at city hall led by the speaker of parliament.
After that she will embark on a tour of the towns in the east and west on Nepal where many retired Gurkhas live. She is expected to be feted wherever she goes.

Britain's superyacht industry is weathering the Brexit storm with the sector reporting its highest level of confidence in the wake of the EU referendum – although choppier waters could be on the horizon.
Fresh figures released by British Marine and Superyacht UK on Monday show that revenue rose 11.5 per cent to £605m in 2015/2016, marking the industry's fourth consecutive year of growth.
However, Peter Brown, Superyacht UK chairman and salesman at yacht broker Burgess, said that "the decision to leave the EU is likely to dampen this growth".
Nevertheless, the news has buoyed industry sentiment, with 75 per cent of Britain's superyacht companies recording positive outlook for the next 12 months.
"With the majority of members reporting high levels of confidence post-referendum, this is in stark contrast to the sharp falls in business optimism recorded in August among British SMEs in non-marine industries," the report highlighted.
The industry has managed to stay afloat in part thanks to its limited exposure to the domestic market.
"Recent years have seen greater demand for yacht sales from international markets, including Asia and the US," Richard Selby, international development manager for Superyacht UK and British Marine, said.
Meanwhile, the pound's post-Brexit drop has also supported turnover, strengthening the purchasing power of overseas customers.
Sterling has dropped around 11 per cent against the dollar and 9 per cent against the Euro since the referendum result was announced.
About 72 per cent of Superyacht UK's 250 members have reported a jump in business activity, up from 61 per cent in the company's last survey.

Olalekan Adetayo and Olaleye Aluko, Abuja
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday evening paid a visit to the two Nigerian Air Force officers involved in helicopters crash in Abuja on Friday.
Buhari visited the injured pilots at the Defence Intelligence Agency Hospital, Abuja, where they are receiving medical attention.
As of the time of the crash on Friday, Buhari was in New York, the United States of America, where he attended the 73rd United Nations General Assembly.
He returned to the country in the early hours of Sunday.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, in a statement, said Buhari arrived the hospital at about 5.30pm to pay the injured officers what he called "a morale-boosting visit."
Adesina said the President rejoiced with Squadron Leader Batuba, and Flight Lieutenant Andy, giving glory to God for sparing their lives.
He was also said to have commiserated with them on the loss of their colleague, Squadron Leader M.B. Babari.
He prayed that God would give the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss.
The statement read, "Chief of Medical Services at the hospital, Air Vice Marshal Saleh Shinkafi, assured President Buhari that the medical condition of the officers was improving steadily and that they were being kept for further rest and counselling, as part of the rehabilitation process.
"The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was also on hand to receive the President, explained that the three pilots ejected successfully from their jets after the collision, while training for air parade to mark the country's 58th Independence anniversary, but the helmet of Babari flew open, and he suffered head injuries that turned fatal.
"Among others that received the President at the hospital were his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abba Kyari; and Chief of Defence Intelligence, Air Vice Marshal Mohammed Usman."
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Air Force has said that it is expecting the delivery of six new attack helicopters from Italy.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, stated this in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during his inspection tour of the 115 Special Operations Group, noting that the military had also trained 90 pilots in the last three years.
The air chief in a statement on Sunday confirmed that Nigeria was expecting 18 new aircraft from the USA and Italy, which would help to enhance the war against the Boko Haram insurgency and other internal security threats.
According to the statement by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, Abubakar stated that the NAF had brought in 31 aircraft into its inventory since 2015.
… commiserates with NASS over Adedoyin's death
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday sent condolences to leadership and members of the National Assembly over the death of a member of the House of Representatives, representing Irepodun Isin/ Ekiti /Oke Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara State, Funke Adedoyin.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President also commiserated with the government and people of Kwara State, the deceased's family and friends.
He said Adedoyin's death had deprived the nation of the wisdom and maturity she had always brought into service.
The statement read, "As a former member of the Federal Executive Council and legislator, the President believes Adedoyin's sacrifice and contributions to national development will be remembered by posterity, especially her unreserved commitment for more representation of women in government and education of children.
"President Buhari prays that God will receive her soul and comfort all her loved ones."Copyright PUNCH.

February 2015
This is my favorite haircut I have ever gotten. It's a shot from exactly a year ago, when Karmela (my stylist at John Sahag, who I found after reading about the salon in an Allure Magazine way back when I was in high school) and I decided to chop off my increasingly straggly post-partum locks into a bob. And I've been a bob girl ever since.
Except then I got The Really Bad Cut. I remember when I moved out to California, my mom saying "Oh you'll just have to come back to New York when you need a haircut so Karmela can do it," because apparently my mother is under the impression that I have transformed into an heiress, or perhaps just a very wealthy socialite of the Hilton genus. ("…Shall I take the private plane, mama? Or must I fly first class with the plebeians again?")
So instead of making little cross-country jaunts for trims, I did what actual people who are not movie stars do, and went to a random place near my house. The girl who gave me the cut was so sweet, and had beautiful hair herself, but I knew almost immediately upon departing the salon that the next few months were going to be a little rough in the hairstyling department. My chic little bob had been transformed into a vaguely Kate Gosselin-ish too-short-in-the-back and weirdly choppy…thing. Sort of a non-cut. Definitely not my cut. (I didn't post too many pics in which my hair wasn't pulled up or back or covered by a hat, but you can kinda see what I'm talking about here.)
Many months later, it's still in the growing-out stage (uggggggg), but I decided that on this trip I'd go over to Karmela to see if she could do something. Anything. Because for real: a bad haircut makes you feel bad, and there was just nothing I could do with this one. Up, down, curly, straight: nothing worked, and it made me feel dumpy and un-put-together and a little bummed out. Hair has that power, you know – to make you feel ten years younger, all floaty and gorgeous…or to make you feel like total crap.
I felt like the latter; now I feel much, much closer to the former.
I'm baaaack!
All of us have been the victim of a truly terrible haircut at one point or another, so I asked Karmela how to handle one, short of sitting around for five months feeling like there's nothing you can do with your hair while you wait for it to grow out (which is what I did).
In essence, what she said is that most "bad cuts" are actually just bad layering, and that there's really no reason to wait to get one fixed – you just need to find a stylist talented enough to fix the layers (which, in my experience, unfortunately does often involve spending more money on a cut than you might at the random place down the block). The dry-cut method that John Sahag uses (where they wash, blow-dry, and flat-iron your hair prior to even touching it with a pair of scissors) creates layers that look more like glass than like steps, so you can't tell where they start and end – and so as it grows out it just grows out into a different (but equally pretty) look.
I seriously feel like a brand-new person. (THANK YOU MY FRIEND.)

Padre Quotes
We know we have what it takes to win the division. Both those teams (San Francisco, L.A.) would tell you that. We're as good as anybody. I don't think those two teams are overlooking us. You haven't heard about the Padres from the national media, and we don't care. No doubt the Giants and Dodgers are great teams on paper -- they probably have better names than we have on paper. But that doesn't always get it done. - Jake Peavy
We don't know him as well as the Padres do yet, but we've always liked him from the other side, catching and receiving the ball. Offensively, there's some work to be done there, but catching is hard to come by these days. Everybody's looking for it right now. We like the depth we have. - Clint Hurdle

Next, I want to tackle a scene that confronts Nick Cannon's Chiraq with his demons, a scene that comes to life through Lee's careful application of the zolly technique. I spoke at length about this device within the context of Lee's Inside Man (here's a link to that discussion).
After a tense one-on-one with Father Mike Corridan, during which the pastor indicates his knowledge of Chiraq's involvement in the death of Patty, the leader of the Spartans finds himself confronted by visions of scantily dressed women dancing outside of his home. One by one, the imaginary women tantalize Chiraq in a series of whip-pans/POV shots as they strut up and down the street in front of him. In between these shots, with the camera trained on a suddenly distraught looking Chiraq, Lee employs a subtle zolly effect, effectively shrinking the character against an ever-enlarging background. Then, after a few more whip pans to more sexy women, Lee follows up with these two shots:
Here, Lee subverts viewer expectations for the scene. At first, it seemed as if Chiraq was simply feeling the effects of smoking far too much weed, causing his sexual frustration to manifest as a parade of sexual objects. With the employment of the zolly effect, Lee seizes the opportunity to transform this scene into a powerful moment of self-reflection and moral judgement through the images of mourning women and murdered black children. With the eyes of murder victims before him, Chiraq enters Commissioner Blades SUV with no resistance as he prepares to bring an end to the strike.
To me, this scene furthers Lee's intention to flip the script on the sexualization of black bodies, allowing this narrative device to unmask the film's most hard-nosed character. By lulling Chiraq into a state of rumination over his role in the death of a child, Lee demonstrates his ability to dig into a previously unsympathetic figure with an aesthetic that teems with visual weight and emotional potency. This small moment allows for Chiraq's confession at the end of the film to seem all the more powerful as he becomes confronted with Patty's mother holding a picture of her slain daughter. Thus, this dream sequence sets Chiraq on the road to consolation and, ultimately, redemption.

I got my third piece of post this week! Post that's not a bill, or trying to sell me anything. Just awesome post from some lovely friends.
After gazing quizzically at this bridge and driving underneath it for over 8 years, I finally worked out how to get onto it.
I'm on the bridge! And I'm super excited! (Slightly cold though)
My friends Martin and Ricky accompanied me to Ikea today for meatballs and a bit of a play. I had lots of fun and love this photo of Martin very seriously typing on the fake computer sitting on the chair he was about to buy :)
I had some lovely moments today as well, which included bumping into Fraser Brown on the train.
And also a moment where I was laughing sympathetically (but mostly mercilessly) at the fact that my friend broke a rib by falling off a chair. I know it's mean, but our mothers/fathers/grandmothers/teachers always told us not to swing on our chairs because we'd hurt ourselves. I know someone who knows not to do that now.

Nina And Reta's Cape Epic Adventure
Project 2018-02-01 20:41:44 +1300
Nina and Reta are on a mission to race the ABSA Cape Epic; an 8 day mountain bike stage race based in Cape Town, South Africa from March 18th-March 25th. The Cape Epic is known as the greatest stage race in the world and we are charging hard so we can laugh, talk and ofcourse sing our way through every stage, and hopefully stand on the podium at the end!
The opportunity to race the Cape Epic came as a result of us winning the Women's team section at the 2017 Pioneer and we are super excited to venture to the worlds' greatest MTB stage race in Cape Town.
We love to ride our bikes and are grateful we have the health and opportunity to do so. We hope that by sharing our journey and our biking adventures we will inspire others to adventure upon two wheels and experience the endorphins, healthfullness, glee, epic views, sense of freedom and connection with nature we get from riding our bikes.
Your pledge will help us cap off our fundraising campaign and help us pay for our race insurance- just incase those rocks jump out at us when we least expect it!

I don't have a whole lot to say about Re:coded, but I wrote an entry like this for 358/2 Days and intend to do it when I get around to 2.8 and Back Cover, so it makes sense to put a little something together.
But Coded was always the least consequential of the Kingdom Hearts games. You could understand the overall story without 358/2 Days, but it filled in a lot of backstory for Roxas and Axel in particular – which is vital for trying to get us to accept Lea in KH3. Coded on the other hand could be left out altogether.
Like all the minor KH games, this was a handheld spin-off. Not just a handheld console game, but a phone game. It was later ported to the DS and pushed that hardware fairly well. It was also fun because you could make it very difficult if you wanted to. Story-wise, however, it was a bit of a dull chick.
The story revolves around the Disney characters discovering that the journal Jiminy Cricket kept has been wiped. Apparently a semi-digital creation, they use a data version of Sora to recompile the fragments of data and eliminate bugs that have somehow been included. Pete and Maleficent get involved and it all gets more convoluted, and the ending actually supplies a little more depth and clarity to Naminé's character and decisions, but so far at least, this game's events haven't had any significant repercussions. The Re:coded release added a little bridging scene between Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, which is quite fun, but doesn't give any information other than making it clear that what will happen in KH3 is a result of defeating the other forms of Xehanort.
This HD remaster doesn't have any new visuals, either, though it is quite nice to see the story presented in a nicer way. The cast come in to record the lines, too, Haley Joel Osment now well-practised in his slightly weird high-pitched Sora voice, which still sounds very odd coming out of the KH1 model, but that definitely makes for a more entertaining 'movie'.
Final Mix 1.5 had a fun game, a lacklustre game and a fairly interesting movie. 2.5 has two fantastic games and a rather throwaway movie. But I have to say of the two, the latter is a far better package.

Jason Mayden Q&A: The Story of a 'Super Heroic' Sneaker with a Cause
Jason Mayden stood inside Michael Jordan's bathroom and realized his dream had finally come true. Mayden, at the time, was a burgeoning sneaker designer in the midst of a sneaker presentation who couldn't wait to call his parents to share his whereabouts.
Mayden, a Chicago native, was Jordan Brand's first design intern. He climbed his way up the ranks to become the brand's lead designer. There, Mayden had the opportunity to create products for Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Derek Jeter and, of course, his Airness. After a 13 year career at Nike and Jordan Brand, Mayden set out on a new path following a conversation with his then seven-year-old son, who was crying because of his with weight issues. Mayden quit Nike and began working on Super Heroic—a brand that is reinventing the way children play through sneakers and apparel. With the backing of investors in Silicon Valley and Magic Johnson, the company created its first-ever performance shoe, the TMBLR V1, which was designed specifically for the playground.
The Crossover had the opportunity to chat with Mayden about growing up in Chicago idolizing Jordan, designing sneakers, the full bathroom story and his plans for Super Heroic.
(This article has been edited and condensed for clarity)
Jarrel Harris: You grew up in Chicago during the Michael Jordan reign. What was your experience growing up in the city?
Jason Mayden: Growing up in Chicago on the South Side was probably the most informative part of my life. Because it allowed me to understand the importance of narratives, the importance of the strength of my community, but most importantly the importance of strength of knowledge itself. The people that surrounded me quoted to me daily that who I am was enough and what I can do is limitless despite where came from or what I looked like. I was surrounded by art, music, sports and entrepreneurship and so many different encouraging narratives that you often don't see when you hear about the South Side of Chicago. I feel like I have a unique advantage growing up in the city because it prepared me for so much more than even I knew I was prepared for.
JH:Chicago gets a bad rep for its violence and all the events that end up on the news, but it also boasts some of the most creative people in culture today, such as yourself, Kanye West, Chance the Rapper, Dwayne Wade, and Hebru Brantley. What is it about Chicago that makes it this hub for creativity?
Mayden: Well, if you look at its history and the founding of the city itself, the city was at the epicenter of the great migration so we had the best and brightest talent—so specifically black people moved to the South Side and moved to the West Side at the same time. So there is a mashup of entrepreneurial spirit because of music, performing arts, spoken word and there is just this hustle that comes from the factories and this blue-collar culture. People from my generation and my neighborhood just don't have a sense of quit. We knew it was going to be hard but we sought out challenges and knew every move we made was a multigenerational move and about the next people. It's something in the water man. A mosaic culture. No one from the Chi is short of words. We all have the ability to speak well because we were encouraged to read and articulate ourselves to tell stories. And that is what we are seeing in today's young generation of men and women who were given a voice at an early age and never actually fell victim to being told our voice didn't matter.
Montrezl Harrell Q&A: This Clippers Forward Is Coming for the Sneaker Crown
JH: Where did your love for sneakers originate?
JM: It was in the fourth grade, my classmate came in with military blue Air Jordan IV's and I was so blown away because her whole outfit was coordinated from the beads in her hair down to her sneakers. Just that outfit architecture alone was impressive. I was just a kid but seeing how that whole outfit and how she coordinated it, I just knew I had to be a part of it. I got in trouble because the teacher thought I was staring at her but I was like, 'Nah, I am staring at the shoes (laughs).' I risked it all in that moment. That is when I fell in love.
JH: Growing up in Chicago, how much influence did Michael Jordan have on your life and career?
JM: One-hundred percent influencing in my early days. Michael Jordan was the first true super hero. I was fortunate because my father played pickup ball in Chicago all of the time and I had the opportunity to see MJ play pick-up ball before I saw him play in the league. He was Bruce Wayne and Batman all in one. So being a big comic book fan and a geek of the culture, I wanted to be Luscious Fox. I wanted to be the gentleman that designed that gear for that man, and if I can be great enough in my craft, one day I can design for Michael Jordan because he was a real life superhero to me. He gave me confidence to speak about my dreams because he conducted himself in interviews with eloquence and style. I learned about fashion, culture because of the cars he drove, the clothes he wore, it was just special. He introduced us to a world outside of Chicago by simply letting us see his lifestyle and that changed a lot of our perspectives. Walk downtown, take the train and go to Michigan Ave. and we just hoped MJ would come out Armani. We didn't know what Armani was until MJ told us. We were able to dream bigger because of his lifestyle.
JH: How has being a black designer in the sneaker business affected you? Were there times when you felt that companies weren't giving a chance because of your skin color?
JM: I think that is always ever-present, but for me I don't allow anyone to make me feel less than because of my skin color. I know my worth in this industry. You will always have obstacles. I think it is honestly harder for women. I have spent more time advocating for fair treatment for women in the industry. While I can say things have happened, I honestly can't say that I have had any difficulties because of my race. But I have seen my female colleagues go through challenges. I think for us in this industry it is heavily male dominated. It is incredibly competitive and we need to figure out ways to look at our differences as our greatest strength. It can be an obstacle for some but I wasn't brought up to be spiritually or intellectually shackled.
JH: You went to Europe to learn about crafting leather and storytelling through sneakers. You went to Asia to learn about manufacturing. How have these experiences helped you?
JM: Man, you did your research. That's awesome. They helped me tremendously. What I did was created a curriculum for myself. I knew that in order for me to really understand my craft, I first had to respect and understand the history and the heritage. So in my 20's I made a deliberate choice to forgo big salaries to experience and travel and I wanted to learn. I feel that knowledge is the currency that never fades in terms of value. When I went to Europe I learned how they made leather, treated letter and I learned how it was distributed. So I had that appreciation because I saw how many steps it took to make it the way it looked. It gave me a different perspective on crafting and the small details. In Asia what I saw was this understanding that in order for me to design the best possible product I have to consider how many hands touched the product and learning how to be efficient. I simplified how I designed from manufacturing and seeing how things are being made. I humbled myself. I don't know everything so I seek out experts till this day and learn from them.
JH: What was it like working on your first design for Jordan? What were the sneakers and can you describe the thoughts that was going through your head?
JM: There are two stories. The first one is when I was an intern and I designed the Air Jordan 17 'Mule', which is a slip on post game shoe and it happened by accident. I just made a pair for myself and people around the company kind of saw what I was doing and I told them the story. I was overcome with emotion when I actually saw it went into production and it sold out. It is amazing.
But my first real chance designing an Air Jordan was in 2009 and I was extremely nervous because this is the moment I dreamed about my entire life. My first presentation was to Michael in his home in Chicago and I walked in and I immediately went to stand in his trophy room, which was like the court inside the Chicago Bulls arena and I just got nervous. I said 'Excuse me, may I use your restroom?' And he allows me to go to the restroom and I go to the restroom and I call my mom and I'm like, 'Mom he has Jumpman towels in his bathroom. This is crazy'.
I didn't realize I was in the bathroom for about 20 minutes and just imagine being in someone's bathroom for 20 minutes on the phone. It can be an awkward experience. So he realizes finally that I'm on the phone with my parents so he says, 'Do me a favor, tell your parents I said hello and wash your hands when you come out the bathroom.' So I walk out and I'm embarrassed. He had this smile on his face and gave me a hug and said, 'I understand it, I understand why you called your parents. You should be proud. I know how far you have come and I know what you have been through'.
I thought he was upset but honestly that was his way of just taking a moment and helping me to calm down because he knew that this was my dream my entire life and I was finally living it. He wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and gave me a moment to express my emotions and not pretend that I have been there before. But it was fun man. Till this day I still crack up. I spent 20 minutes in Michael Jordan's bathroom on the phone with my mom but I would do it all over again.
JH: You also had a hand in the ultimate dad shoe, the Nike Air Monarch. The sneaker is a favorite to get clowned on now but honestly, where does it rank for you?
JM: (Laughs) That shoe is honestly the reason why my career took off. It was a project nobody wanted and at the same time I was doing the branding for Michael Vick, so I was stuck in between two worlds. One was this crazy and emergent cultural icon, he was a phenom just coming out of Virginia Tech and I was fortunate to help him with his footwear and it was crazy. And then I got a project that no one wanted and that was this white leather shoe for J.C. Penny. And I put the same amount of energy and care into that product because I knew that shoe was for the everyday hero. The high school football coach, the dad that works in factories, or the grandfather that picks you up after school and walks you home.
So I focused on celebrating these men and fathers that we often overlook because they are not athletes but they are performing. And everyone clowned me because I took so much care and I put so much effort into the shoe. Mr. (Phil) Knight and the leadership at Nike saw that and saw the effort and they rewarded me by giving me the opportunity to return to Jordan so I can work with professional athletes. I tell everyone excellence is the small things you do consistently over the time. I pulled myself into this small project and it gave me the biggest impact of my career.
JH:What is crazy is that dad shoes and the Monarch are in style now. Are you mad about the recent acceptance in culture? Are you like, 'Where was all of this when we first released these'?
JM: Honestly, man, it doesn't really change much for me because I saw the numbers reflect the interest. The Monarch is the second-highest selling shoe in the footwear industry. To see the impact, to see the faces and people wearing it everywhere I go, I always felt that it was cool. Because the people who I designed them for loved it and now that I see the culture picking up on it and everyone is rocking the chunky dad sneakers I kind of chuckle because we talked about this 15 years ago when we first worked on it in 2002. We honestly joked about this shoe becoming a fashion icon. So every design has its time, every product has its moment and it's just funny after 15 years of commercial success now it's being culturally accepted. It's pretty cool.
(Watch the video above to learn about the origins of Super Heroic)
JH: Magic Johnson came on as an investor in Super Heroic. How is the experience working with him and what are some things he in saw in this business?
JM: It's been a very humbling experience. I met Magic when receiving an award from an educational organization in Chicago and he saw me and my passion for the youth and he was the first person to say that Jason is going to own a shoe company one day. This is two years before I actually founded Super Heroic. He has given me a lot of advice and the support. Just like how he has been the president of the Lakers, he he been like a player/coach for Super Heroic because of the personal advice he has given me and helping me navigate this next level in my career. He has been very instrumental and very helpful.
JH: What is your ultimate goal for Super Heroic and what can we expect later from you guys?
JM: What we hope to build is a mobile hybrid experience where children can physically wear the product and play. Our vision is way bigger if you can't tell than footwear and apparel. Our goals is building a system and a platform through play and getting children to the playground.

A Greener Christmas
Christmas can be thoughtful
At this time of year, we are all thinking about christmas shopping, the expense, the time, trying to find that perfect gift. This year, I think a lot of people are trying to find the perfect GREEN gift, be that gifting your time, an experience or something made locally or from a small business. With this in mind, here are some of the ways that my business is working really hard to be green.
My Greener business
I try very hard to make sure that my work and all my packaging is as good as possible. Each piece of jewellery comes in a beautiful natural coloured box made from re-cycled boxcard and outer paper from sustainable forests. There is an organic cotton insert dyed using vegetable dyes and it is finished off with a luxurious ribbon which you can reuse.
Re-use – Reduce – Recycle
I re-use padded envelopes and packaging so please excuse the not so perfect look when your post arrives, what is inside will be perfect!! I am working on making this better by using small pouches made from Bio Leather in future.
I recycle as much as possible and have just started making Eco Bricks to remove some of the non-recylable plastic from the waste chain. I do small beach cleans whenever I take the dog to the beach and I'm working on reducing the amount of plastic I buy in my grocery shopping by buying loose veg and using shops like my local Unwrap where you can bring your own containers.
Eco and Fair-trade
I use eco silver and gold to make jewellery and all the stones I buy are ethically sourced and traceable. I do not use diamonds (unless for a commission) and I am a huge fan of the manmade diamonds which are being produced in Cornwall. They are chemically identical to natural diamonds and have no imperfections and are made by people being paid a proper wage in good conditions. https://www.kinetique.co.uk/blood-from-stones-2/
Enjoying a green Christmas isn't about not having the things you love; it's about being thoughtful and considerate for our environment in the way in which you consume. The benefits of reducing your consumption are visible in your happiness, sanity, your bank account, and importantly: the environment. So, there are plenty of good reasons to celebrate a green Christmas this year and ever more.
If you have ideas that could make my small business more friendly, please drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.

Some basic planning and precautions can help keep you healthy and happy while traveling.
Where to Get Care
Emergencies Dial 911 toll free, and no coin required at a pay phone for emergency assistance. The Red Cross Rescue unit may be reached directly at 128 throughout the country (2221-5818 in San José). Tourism Care Medical Services has road and air paramedic and ambulance service throughout Costa Rica (2286-1818). Listings for private physicians are under Médicos in the yellow pages.
For non emergency care your first line of defense should be your own first aid kit. Second, you can turn to the local farmacia (pharmacy).
Drinking the Water
Note: overbuilding, lack of planning, illegal wells, and El Niño induced droughts in 2014-2016 lowered many aquifers (especially in Guanacaste and the Nicoya peninsula) to the point that water quality suffered.
In 2018 the government initiated the "Paacume" reservoir plan to flood the Bebedero wetlands wildlife refuge and use a series of canals and pipelines to supply water for agriculture and residential use in Guanacaste and Nicoya. The plan is opposed by environmental groups both because of the destruction of habitat and because they say it will encourage further irresponsible development.
2019 is another El Niño year. Aquifer levels are dropping and arsenic and other contaminants are on the rise in the northwest.
Bottled water may be advisable.
In other areas municipal water supplies in most of Costa Rica are excellent. Especially in the mountains the water is probably higher quality than what comes out of the tap at home.
One of the reasons so much land is protected in parks and reserves is that Ticos recognize the importance of their watersheds. Water quality standards monitored and enforced by the AYA are similar to those followed in North America and Europe.
Water from rivers and streams is generally not safe to drink without purification. As nearly anywhere in the world, free running water contains parasites and bacterial pathogens (including giardia). When we trekked across the Talamanca mountains we found some streams several days from the nearest population that were safe to drink from but generally it's a bad idea.
Downstream from San José and in the waters around Puntarenas pollution and contamination can be severe enough to make swimming unsafe in the rivers.
Sewage in the Rivers and Oceans
Only about 5% of Costa Rica's sewage passes through a treatment plant and that only came on line in 2015. Most sewage goes into septic systems many of which are inadequate or prone to leaking into the groundwater during rainy season. A surprising amount of wastewater still simply gets dumped into the nearest river.
Generally the water quality of Costa Rica's beaches is not monitored. The ministry of health occasionally shuts down beaches due to high coliform bacteria counts (basically sewage in the water) even in supposedly pristine areas like Manuel Antonio National Park.
Red Tides
Red tides (phytoplankton and dinoflagellate algal blooms) are naturally caused by storm stirred upwellings of nutrients but are becoming more frequent as the ocean temperature rises and more fertilizer is carried out to sea in runoff.
The micro-organisms that turn the water red or rusty brown release brevetoxins which cause rash and skin irritation and should not be ingested. The most common health threat from red tide is the wind and surf lifting the toxins into the air in the form of an aerosol which causes respiratory distress and can be dangerous for people with asthma or other conditions.
Shellfish concentrate another red tide poison (saxitoxin) in their tissues and eating them can cause fatal paralytic and neurotoxic shellfish poisoning in humans.
Large numbers of dead fish may wash up on the beaches during red tides but they are typically not the victims of algal toxins. They die due to severe oxygen depletion.
Red tides in Costa Rica are more common on the Pacific coast and may last from a few days to several weeks.
Hot Springs
Amebic Meningoencephalitis is extremely uncommon but Costa Rica's hot spring resorts are nearly perfect habitat for the microorganism (Naegleria fowleri) that causes it. The CDC assumes that Naegleria is present in any warm fresh water and grows best up to 115°F (46°C) – precisely hot spring temperatures. The only mechanism of infection is when water containing the ameba enters the body through the nose. There is no cure. Once symptoms are seen it is 97% fatal.
Washing your hands is one of the most effective ways of preventing disease transmission whether you are traveling or not.
Common sense is your best defense against digestive ailments. Wash any fruits and vegetables (especially ones you don't peel), don't eat food from stands or restaurants unless it's as hot or cold as it should be, and don't change your diet dramatically overnight.
A separate travel insurance policy might be a good idea. Your normal health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid will not be accepted and will not pay for any care you need.
Costa Rica's Social Security Institute offers medical and emergency dental coverage by the week. It is available by the week through Tico travel agents, ask for the Instituto Nacional de Seguros travelers insurance.
Many multinational companies offer policies that cover trip cancellation, lost baggage, medical costs, and emergency evacuation. For what you get this insurance is relatively expensive so shop around, get details from the providers, and read the policy carefully before purchasing.
Your ultimate medical resource must be your physician. We have provided some general information, and daily updates by qualified medical professionals are available on the CDC and WHO web sites.
No inoculations are currently (November 2015) required for travelers from North America to Costa Rica. However, you may want to consider a gamma globulin injection to boost your general immunity and defenses against hepatitis.
If you are from or have recently traveled to some regions of South America or Africa proof of inoculation against Yellow Fever may be required. It is not present in Costa Rica and they want to keep it that way.
Use repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk. There are a couple of mosquito borne diseases in the tropics world wide and in Costa Rica which are very unpleasant – chikungunya, zika, and dengue fever.
First Aid
Everyone should carry a basic first aid kit when traveling. Hikers, backpackers, campers, surfers and others who are likely to find themselves away from medical care should carry more extensive supplies.
A minimum kit includes pain relievers/fever reducers (Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, or Aspirin) Imodium, band aids, tweezers, neosporin, tape, eye drops, insect repellent, sun screen. The benefits of having each of these items convenient should be apparent.

Did Facebook create the greatest real estate video of all time?
October 5, 2012
While watching the recent Facebook video in honor of surpassing the 1 Billion user mark, I couldn't help but think how it resonated with me, as a home buyer.
Did Facebook create the greatest real estate video of all time without even knowing it?
The entire video talks about the things that connect us. I loved seeing all the cool places highlighted, how people of all ages were having fun and the great memories that were being created.
These are things a potential home buyer or renter looks for in a community, a town or a neighborhood. All the elements that every great community real estate video should have. I felt like it would be so amazing to Live there and experience a lifestyle like that while being a part of that vibrant Community.
A great nation is something people build, so they can have a place to belong
What a great statement. The same can be said about the cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods, blocks or even the hi-rise building we live in. Together, people make it a great place to call home and belong.
I want to connect with more ""real estate" videos, like this one. Will you create one for me and other consumers?

The World's First Carbon-Neutral Zero Waste Town – "Masdar City"
Welcome to the world of Energy!
In Physics, Energy is a scalar physical quantity that shows the amount of work that can be performed by a force, an attribute of objects and systems that are subject to a law of conservation. Any form of Energy can be transformed into another form, but the total energy always remains the same: that's the principle of the conservation of Energy.
Nowadays, about 18% of global energy consumption comes from renewables, such as Biofuel, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar energy, Tidal power, Wave power and finally Wind power.
Indeed,the use of renewable energy has an enormous potential future thanks to sustainable development and global warming groups that have proposed the use of 100% renewable energy source supplies without using fossil fuels or nuclear power. For example, scientists from the University of Kassel have suggested that Germany can power itself by only renewable energy!
Secondly, there is the world's first carbon-neutral zero waste town: "Masdar City", a planned city in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirate. Masdar City aims to become the Silicon Valley for clean, green and alternative energy. A global centre where over 1,500 companies will converge to address one of man's greatest energy challenges and city where current and future technologies will be funded, researched, developed, tested and implemented.
In fact, the project is expected to cost US $22 billion and take some 8 years to build. The city is planned to cover 6 square kilometers and will be home to 45,000 people and 1,500 businesses. It will also be the location of a University, The Masdar Institute Of Science and Technology (MIST) which will be assisted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology( MIT).
Among the first construction projects will be a 40 to 60 megawatt solar power plant. This will later be followed by a larger facility, and additional photovoltaic modules will be placed on rooftops to provide supplemental solar energy totaling 130 megawatts. Wind farms will be established outside the city's perimeter capable of producing up to 20 megawatts, and the city intends to utilize geothermal power as well. Automobiles will be banned within the city!
Masdar will also attempt to reduce waste to zero. Biological waste will be used to create nutrient-rich soil and fertilizer, and some of the waste may also be put in use through waste incineration as an additional power source. As for industrial waste, such as plastics and metals, they will be recycled or re-conditioned for other uses.
Finally, the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) will be located in Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, a site which is currently under construction. It will be the world's first carbon-neutral, zero-waste city completely powered by renewable energy.
"People often ask why the UAE is undertaking such an extensive environmental initiative. The answer is that Masdar integrates the full technological lifestyle of modern time and places the UAE in a leading position in the field of renewable energy. We cannot keep living the way we are at the present moment ; Masdar is the future."
Energy is our future!

Be it adventure travel, leisure tour or a fun-filled family holiday, the country will provide you everything that makes for a memorable vacation.

Can you find anything more exotic than Mandalay?
Plan to explore the cultural side of the country, and you would get nothing better than Mandalay city.

Your trip is more than worth when you plan to land in this city that is the cultural heart of Myanmar. A tour to this city is like stepping out of the ordinary and exploring something that is unfamiliar yet majestic.

Explore the historical mystique of Bagan
The city of Bagan and the plain are majestic, and a sight to behold. When Myanmar used to be the geopolitical player in Southeast Asia, then Bagan was the capital of the country.
