When creating a new lock a user has the option to create a lock that can be shared with others. And when you load a lock that has been shared you will load the settings that they chose and they will become your keyholder until the lock has finished.
When a user shares a lock they are sharing a QR image that's encoded with the lock ID. You can load a shared QR image in one of two ways. You can save the image to your device and load it from your device gallery/photo album, or you can scan the QR image with your device camera.
Once you've loaded the image you will see all of the information about the lock, i.e. the number of each card type included, if emergency keys have been disabled, how other users have rated the lock/keyholder, plus more. Some of this information can be hidden by the keyholder.
A keyholder can add or remove the different card types to users that have loaded their shared variable locks, and add or remove hours/days to users that have loaded their shared fixed locks.
A keyholder will see a list of users that have loaded their lock and that are currently locked with it. For each user they will see a username, how long that user has been locked for so far and how many cards or hours/days they have left with the option to make changes as well as instantly unlock users. Each user is assigned a default username which will look something like this: CKU457. You have the option to change it from within your profile page.
Changes a keyholder has made to your lock will show the next time you load the app (when the black splash/logo screen shows). You can also press the refresh button at the top of the locks screen which will download the latest changes made, if there are any changes available. You will see an alert that looks a little like this and a ribbon on the top right of the lock which says that it was updated remotely.
Please note that there is no way to communicate with users within ChastiKey at the moment so please use other channels to communicate with users that are sharing locks.
You also aren't able to search for users/keyholders from within ChastiKey. This may change but in the meantime there's plenty of shared locks on the ChastiKey Forums. Some users also share locks via other channels like Tumblr and Twitter etc.

Justice Ranjan Gogoi was sworn in as the 46th Chief Justice of India on Wednesday by President Ram Nath Kovind. Justice Gogoi, 63, will have a tenure of a little over 13 months and would retire on November 17, 2019. He is the first Chief Justice of India from the north-east.

— President of India (@rashtrapatibhvn) October 3, 2018
As is the norm, Gogoi, the senior-most after former CJI Dipak Misra, was recommended by the latter and the appointment was then confirmed by President Kovind in September this year.
Justice Gogoi started his career as a Permanent Judge of the Guwahati High Court in February 2001. He was transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2010 and was appointed Chief Justice there in 2011. He came to the Supreme Court as a judge on April 23, 2012.
ALSO READ: Justice Ranjan Gogoi appointed as new CJI, will assume office on October 3
There was speculation on Justice Gogoi's elevation, following the unprecedented press conference on January 12 this year, when Justice Gogoi and three colleagues — Justices J Chelameswar (since retired), Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph — raised questions on the CJI's allocation of cases to benches in the Supreme Court.
At the Supreme Court, Justice Gogoi is currently monitoring the update process of the National Register of Citizens, intended to identify illegal migrants in Assam. He is also dealing with a plea seeking appointment of Lokpal. Earlier, he was part of the seven-judge bench, which, in May 2017, held Calcutta High Court Judge C S Karnan guilty of contempt of court. He also headed the bench that directed the government to set up special courts to fast-track cases against politicians. In May this year, his bench struck down an amendment passed by the Uttar Pradesh government that allowed all former chief ministers to retain their official residences.

What is Life Coaching ?
Life Coaching is a relationship that creates a space for the person to be coached. I call it a sacred space. Coaching is built on a model that establishes committed ways of being, honor, respect, integrity to name a few. Coaching aligns ones belief and values with the way they want to live their life and then take responsibility for their life.
Here's an example of one person's experience coaching with Margaret:
"My experience is that she graciously establishes sacred space and time in which individuals can share their stories, struggles, hopes and values. But even more, I think the greatest strength I've seen develop is Margaret's ability to draw upon what someone shares in conversation and guide that person toward real, practical, and effective life changes. I have experienced a sense of Margaret walking alongside me in the difficulty. And especially when she has met with our church's mentor group, I've noticed her openness toward others and her active listening create an atmosphere of both trust and safety in which people seem to be able to speak freely about what matters most to them. In fact, I have repeatedly seen groups grow in unity through the insight she has drawn out of others during the conversations.
Margaret's respectful use of time has been the other most significant elementI have experienced in her work. She has always patiently allowed for either my or another's story to unfold in the conversation, often marking particular points as insights on which to build. Intentional, hopeful, and unhurried, Margaret's directed questions have helped me identify feelings and values often otherwise hidden from my own view. Perhaps one of the greatest skills I've benefited from has been Margaret's ability to help me choose and commit to practical, workable solutions to problems. By her own acknowledgement of a person's essential dignity and her trust in the mystery of God working in our lives, she has communicated confidence and hope to me when I've felt 'stuck' in a particular situation or decision. Clearly, when I look back over issues I was struggling with a year to two ago, I can recognize specific positive changes in my life that are a direct result of working with Margaret."

Keep in mind that Manar Park is only open for 10 months of the year, with February and November being the months when the park is closed for upgrades.
4WD tracks
4WD enthusiasts have plenty of options when it comes to 4WD tracks at Manar Park with over 230kms of tracks to explore, all of which are graded and marked to suit all experience levels. You can choose between climbing the toughest hills, tackling the gorge, enjoying plenty of river and creek crossings, or just taking a relaxing drive down to the river. There's also a beautiful waterfall and plenty of lookouts to explore, along with a skid pan located near the entrance of the park for those that wish to splash around in the mud!
For extreme 4WD enthusiasts, there's plenty of tough terrain on offer including gullies, drops, hill climbs, and the gorge. Manar Park is renowned for being a playground for the toughest of trucks who wish to tackle extreme rated tracks which are very steep, so bringing your winch is a must! Don't forget that there's also extensive tracks for motorbikes, quads, buggies, and unregistered comp vehicles too.

If you don't want to leave your four-legged friends at home, you'll be pleased to know that dogs are permitted at the park so long as they're on a leash and there's plenty of free firewood available for campfires.

Photobucket acquisition confirmed May 7, 2007Posted by Daniel Gardner in Fox, MySpace, Photobucket, TechCrunch.
1 comment so far
Last time I spoke about this I said:
I would say the decision was made because of the latter as Photobucket is currently on the take for an estimated $300 – $400 million, this play may be an attempt by Fox to dilute Photobucket's worth by distributing FUD with relation to the future of there Online Video offering and it's actual value, possibly allowing them to pick up a bargain and expand there media powerhouse.
It looks like this has held up, TechCrunch are reporting Photobucket was acquired for 50m under what was expected, this shows again Murdoch's ruthlessness, doing anything to secure a deal at the right price (or the best price).
Google's tactic on vertical search: Simply buy em May 5, 2007Posted by Daniel Gardner in alarm clock, Business Thoughts, Fox, Google, Internet, mashable, News Corp, TechCrunch.
40 comments
Rumors this morning are spreading that Google may be positioned to acquire vertical job search site SimplyHired (see the Alarm:Clock, Mashable and TechCrunch stories), a vertical job search engine who's business as a job search company has somewhat stagnated over the past year but has blossomed as an careers engine for third part sites, specifically MySpace Careers.
My take on this deal is that Fox Interactive (part of News Corp) will acquire SimplyHired, they last year invested 13.5m in SimplyHired and use SimplyHired to power MySpace Careers (owned by Fox), even if Google do decide to acquire SimplyHired, Fox will put in a counter bid to buy the rest of SimplyHired (which I am surprised they haven't already done). In the event that Google try to pay an exorbitant price (YouTube anyone?) Fox will pull away or damage the MySpace distribution deal and leave Google holding a floundering Job Search engine they could of built themselves.

ABC's Chasers War on everything, one of my favourite Australian shows on TV recently got Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales, asking him a barrage of particularly stupid questions.
It really has to been seen, view it here on TechCrunch.
If you have never seen chasers war, some more of there videos can be seen here (a really good move for a show like this I think).
Yahoo and Google in online advertising dual May 1, 2007Posted by Daniel Gardner in Advertising, Current Events, Google, Internet, TechCrunch, Yahoo.
add a comment
Many companies (particularally conservative corporates) like the machine gun style of display advertising, taken from traditional advertising mediums such as Print and Television and thrown into the 21st century by putting them online, basically this method of advertising involves finding websites that attract there target demographic, placing advertisements and opening fire, hitting many people with only a few being there actual targets.
For branding purposes this type of display advertising works well as many eyes view your brand, but for most companies advertising is done to increase sales and with the constant pestering of marketing to show ROI on there advertising campaigns the newer CPC style of marketing makes sense as it puts the onus of finding interested customers onto the advertiser and means the advertiser only pays for those who are interested in there message they want to convey.
I have been intently watching the evolution of advertising and in the past few years two search engine giants in particular that have two very different strategies, these being Google and Yahoo.
Over the past few years Google have been cashing in on there multi-billion dollar Adsense cash cow while Yahoo have sat back with there floundering display advertising model until it became too much and announced there very Google like Panama product last year, which would force these rivals into a head to head match.
While the panama project I think was a necessary and good move for Yahoo they will not knock Google off there perch for quite a while due to Google's huge customer base that was created due to it's first mover advantage in evangelising the CPC model.
Google, intent to hold onto there crown as web advertising king acquired DoubleClick for $3.1bn recently, putting them right into the thick of Yahoo's display advertising territory, with an already large customer base DoubleClick was a good acquisition to enter Google into this market.
Yahoo however have taken a different approach, already owning a significant portion of the display advertising market they have brought the fight to Google by acquiring Right Media for $680m, whilst the size of this acquisition is dwarfed by Google's DoubleClick acquisition in monetary value they have it seem decided to out-innovate Google in revolutionizing this market by allowing customers to bid on the ad space they want in real time and awarding the space to the highest bidder, eliminating negotiating costs and allowing more revenues to be passed on to the company supplying the ad space.
I believe this is a particularly good move by Yahoo as it allows them to out pace Google in innovation in this sector and allow them to grow there own advertising brand organically whereas Google will have separate branding under both DoubleClick and themselves not to mention they saved themselves a mint!
Saying this though I do not doubt Google and there ability to capitalise in the online advertising industry, they will probably even have something similar to Right Media's functionality in the coming months but Yahoo look to be keeping Google on there toes, maybe even taking there eyes off there Adsense goldmine just a little bit while Panama swoops in.
With all these acquisitions it's an exciting time in the online advertising world indeed!

Terry Collins told ESPNNewYork.com that Eric Young Jr. is his primary leadoff candidate at this point.
Still, with a full spring training to go, Collins cautioned: "But anything is possible."
A look at the 2013 output out of the leadoff spot for each NL team.
The interesting wrinkle would be: How does Collins get Young in the lineup?
The easiest route and seemingly most likely route is at the expense of Juan Lagares, even though Lagares demonstrated Gold Glove-caliber fielding last season.
Perhaps the switch-hitting EY Jr. also eventually could chip away at Chris Young's playing time against right-handed pitching, since the ex-Diamondback/Athletic is a career .225 hitter against right-handers (versus .262 against southpaws). Maybe EY Jr. could get an occasional start at second base, too, although it would be difficult not using Daniel Murphy for any considerable number of games.
Of course, EY Jr. is going to need to boost his on-base percentage to stay in the leadoff role for long. He had a .310 overall on-base percentage last season with the Colorado Rockies and Mets.
The Mets ranked 14th in the 15-team NL last season with a .293 team on-base percentage from the leadoff spot, better than only the Miami Marlins (.282). The National League average for OBP from the leadoff spot was .333 in 2014.
The Mets started 10 players in the leadoff spot last season -- the most by the team in a season since 2003. They were Young (90 games), Jordany Valdespin (16), Ruben Tejada (15), Collin Cowgill (nine), Mike Baxter (eight), Murphy (seven), Omar Quintanilla (seven), Lagares (six), Justin Turner (three) and Kirk Nieuwenhuis (one).

Dr. Sean Medlin
Dr. Sean is originally from Fairfax Station, Virginia, where he grew up in a family of five. He was very active as a child and throughout his teenage years. He played many sports such as basketball, lacrosse, and ran track. Dr. Sean attended George Mason University, completing his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor's degree in Business Management. With the help of his chiropractic mentor, who was also a neighbor and family friend, he then realized that chiropractic was where he was meant to be. He attended Life University in Marietta, Georgia and quickly became enamored with the amount of knowledge concerning the intricate workings of the body and nervous system that was out there for the taking. He enjoyed attending various seminars and workshops where he expanded his knowledge of adjusting techniques and chiropractic philosophy. Later, he had the opportunity to shadow and work with many successful doctors in the field. He also participated in a mission trip to India, where he was able to touch the lives of hundreds of people through chiropractic. Ultimately, his vision for the practice is to help people understand that chiropractic is more than just receiving an adjustment. Chiropractic is a lifestyle that can open the doors to health on the physical, mental, and spiritual level.
Dr. Krystal Czegus
Dr. Krystal grew up in Warren, Michigan and later moved to Washington Township, Michigan at the beginning of her college career. Growing up, she was very involved with school, sports, dance, and family. She always knew she belonged in health care where she could help others, but really wanted a more natural approach. She attended Wayne State University where she completed her undergraduate studies with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. She then went on to receive her massage therapy certification at the Flint School of Therapeutic Massage. During this time, she realized how special it was to be able to affect people in a holistic manner with something as simple as a soothing touch. She became very interested in the science, philosophy, and art involved with the practice of chiropractic and was immediately hooked. After doing some careful research, she knew Life University in Marietta, Georgia would be the perfect fit for her. During her clinical internship at Life, she had the great opportunity to work with many children and expectant mothers, which was a priceless experience. She was intrigued with the fact that the body had an innate intelligence that functions and heals without any help from an outside source. She continually strives for a practice full of excited people and their families interested in learning to live a healthy, happy, chiropractic lifestyle.

About Harare International Airport (HRE)
Address: Airport Terminal Arrival Hall, Harare
Harare International Airport is the biggest in Zimbabwe and is located just south of the city.
It is known to the local's as Robert Gabriel Mugabe airport, after the former leader of the country. Certainly, the best way to travel to your hotel once you have landed here is by making use of a small range of Harare Airport car rental options found in and around the terminal building.
Getting around
Travelling in Zimbabwe is easiest by car rental thanks to the poor quality of public transport found in the country. Rather be safe in the knowledge that booking a vehicle in the lead up to your trip means no hassles in terms of trying to secure transport once you arrive in the country. This will also get you the cheapest rates possible.
It also means the time between disembarking and securing a car rental through one of the Harare Airport car rentals on site is as short as possible thanks to the fact that the vehicle is waiting for you. Because nothing is worse than waiting around at an airport when all you want to do is get to your hotel or safari lodge, right?
Choosing your car
Visiting Zimbabwe's top tourist attractions in and around Harare is best done through car hire. And a wide range of vehicles from the likes of Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet and Hyundai are available. The airport car rental companies that can be found here include Europcar, Hertz, Impala and the local company, Zimbabwe Car Hire
No matter your car rental requirements, you will find something to suit your needs, although the selection is not as broad as it would be in South Africa, for instance.
While Victoria Falls is around 700 kilometres away, day trips in and around Harare provide an adventurous tourist with much to do. Among those worth your consideration include the Lake Chivero National Park, Ngomakurira mountain, which has a great hiking trail and Thetford Game Reserve.
Tips and advice for renting a car at Harare Airport
Much like South African drivers, those in Zimbabwe can be a little reckless. Keep your eyes open at all times.
Do not stop at traffic lights at night, even if the light is red. Try to time it that you get a green light or proceed cautiously through the light if red. Sadly, some traffic lights have become hijacking hotspots. In fact it's better not to drive at night.
Keep valuables out of sight in your vehicle and never leave them in the car when you exit it.
Police roadblocks are a familiar site but generally, as a tourist, you will be waved through. If you are pulled over, chances are that the police for fine you for something outlandish. Simply pay the fine instead of getting into an argument.
Roads in and around cities are normally in a decent condition but consider a 4x4 or SUV when travelling in rural areas, especially within the game reserves.
Always be on the lookout for animals on the side of the road or crossing it, particularly in rural areas.

There's a growing trend for the estates of famous deceased authors to commission new "continuation" titles based on the settings and characters the authors created, sort of like officially sanctioned fan fiction. One good example is The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz, a new Sherlock Holmes novel approved by Arthur Conan Doyle's estate. Agatha Christie's estate has also recently authorized more Hercule Poirot mysteries. Publisher HarperCollins is going one step further with its Austen Project, asking some of today's best-selling British authors to re-imagine Jane Austen's works with close retellings of her books set in the current time period. The first of these out of the gate is Joanna Trollope's Sense & Sensibility.
Trollope's book, like the classic, focuses on the three Dashwood girls, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, and their mother. Mr. Dashwood expires before the book even begins, but from a modern ailment – severe asthma – not from a hunting accident. His estate passes to his son from his first marriage, not due to entailment laws, but because he never actually legally married the girls' mother, a modern twist. Left homeless, they snap up the offer of a cottage in the countryside free of rent from a wealthy cousin, John Middleton. The story proceeds with the same characters and plot points as the original, but with modern "sensibilities."
Much of the charm of Austen's books lies in the customs and manners of the time period when they are set and her own unique style in making fun of them and her character's many foibles. Trollope's book is also witty and satirical in its own way. It's interesting to see how much of the humor and how many of the romantic predicaments are timeless and translate well to today.
The Austen Project has scheduled all of Jane Austen's books for this treatment. Next up is Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid, followed by Pride and Prejudice by Curtis Sittenfeld.

Play Therapy - Therapy Tidbits
The How Tos of Backwards Chaining - Therapy Tidbits
The How Tos of Backwards Chaining
Strength and Power Training for Children with Poor Coordination!
By Veronica Glen, PT, DPT
When Physical Therapists see a clumsy or uncoordinated child, one of the first thoughts we think is "That kid can use some balance training!" or "They could benefit from functional activity practice!" What current evidence based research is finding is that strength and power training can be just as helpful if not MORE helpful than functional movement training!
Physical Therapy: An Enormously Beneficial Tool for Children With Down Syndrome!
Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic disorder caused by one too many copies of chromosome 21. This extra copy changes the typical way the brain and body develop. As a result, individuals with Down Syndrome can face both physical and mental challenges from birth onward, such as delayed developmental milestones. Other possible challenges include:
It's About Celebrating Abilities!
Downs Syndrome awareness month is coming in October. The National Advocate for People withDowns Syndrome is having it's annual Buddy Walk. Persons with Downs and their friends and family are encouraged to participate.
How sensitive to cultural differences are you?
According to the United States census bureau, 36% of the population described themselves as "nonHispanic white". By 2050, fully 50% of our nation will be comprised of persons who identify as other than Caucasian.
Speaking About Apraxia
Children are naturally disposed to learning, but when natural processes are interrupted, a little help is needed for a child to develop their full potential. It is a pleasure to play a role in the development of stronger bonds that are built between parents and children as they work toward better communication. Helping children acquire the skills they need to effectively communicate with their families and peers is very rewarding.
Learning to speak is a difficult task. What seems effortless to those without a speech impairment is an incredibly complex set of skills to learn. It helps to become aware of what may be in the way.
May is Williams Syndrome Awareness Month
Williams syndrome is a developmental disorder affecting approximately 1 in 10,000. It affects both males and females equally.
This syndrome is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays and learning disabilities. These often occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities, and an affinity for music.
Children with Williams syndrome tend to be social, friendly and endearing. In fact, they are likely to be overly friendly, and lack so-called "stranger danger". This tendency makes Williams syndrome children socially vulnerable.
Although Williams syndrome affects those afflicted for life, there is much that can be done to help. Early diagnosis for Williams syndrome can dramatically change outcomes for the future of children affected.
This is a video done by ABC news a few years ago which gives an excellent look into the challenges and joys of Williams syndrome. We hope you enjoy learning about these wonderful members of our community!
Celebrating Our 1 Year Milestone
As a society, we've come a long way towards understanding the need for paying close attention to the development of our children, and intervening when natural processes aren't unfolding the way they should.
ASHA recently reported that, 'Many toddlers diagnosed with ASD who receive early intervention can attend regular kindergarten, cutting annual education costs by $10,000 per child, according to Autism Navigator. The Autism Society of the United States says that early intervention can reduce the cost of care by 67%."
The role that speech and language pathologists play in these interventions can change the trajectory of a child's life.

Where do I access DataLiNC on this website?
Users can find DataLiNC in Resources & Information, under Professional Resources - Online Services - Institutional Services or by clicking here.
How does DataLiNC work?
Users log into DataLiNC from the NCMB website. Users create a list of "favorites" (licensees you want to track) and then when the status changes for any one of them, NCMB generates an automatic email letting you know. The Board will also send an automatic email if one of your "favorites" receives a public file (most often, this occurs when the NCMB takes public disciplinary action, although a small number of public actions include nondisciplinary matters such as re-entry agreements).
What is DataLiNC?
DataLiNC is a paid service offered by the NC Medical Board. DataLiNC allows users to track the status of multiple NCMB licensees. It eliminates the need to look up each licensee individually to make sure that licensee is still active.

Who are 'The Gurkhas' ? - complete history of Gurkhas
KHHI MD, Mr. Saroj Lama Tamang with his depth study and research has prepared the history of 'The Gurkhas'. Starting from the begining to the current stage he explains how the history unfolds about the recruitment of Gorkha soldiers into the British Army from the old days of Nepal to Gorkha, and from Gorkhas to British Gurkhas.
Geographically located in the south-east Asia between India and China, Nepal, a Hindu country with a population of more than 28 billions is actually believed to have existed for over 1500 years but the universal recognition as a country came only after the unification in the mid 17th Century. Kathmandu is the Capital city; also known as the Land of Temples, houses the majestic Himalayas; is the birth place of Lord Buddha, embraces the amazing natural beauty and believed to have resided by Gods of heaven.
>>Learn more about Nepal in detail.
About 120km west of Kathmandu, Gorkha is a small mid western district in Nepal in today's context but with immense historic significance with a population of more than 3 million were majority of people belonging to Thapa, Magar, Gurung, Rai tribes reside. Kings, generals and army of Gorkha conquered several small scattered kingdoms into one big and named it as "Nepal" in around 1767AD. Gorkha was captured by the Rajputs of N India in early 16th century.
Title taken from "Gorkha", also known as "Gorkhali". People from Gorkha, especially army and soldiers from this place with whose strength king Prithivi Narayan Shah united Nepal in 1760's. Known for their military prowess, their courage, their brutality and their religions fervor; most Gorkhas are modestly built hindoos, religious and devoted, calm in nature yet ferocious fighter with the warrior intuition in blood.
"It is Better to die than to be a coward" - motto of the world famous Gurkha Soldiers
As they were later known after the treaty of Saugali in 1815. Gorkhas and British East India Company fought against each other during their military campaigns out of which both stimulated respect and admiration for one another which later contributed to national level agreement that gave British the right to recruit Gorkhas under their Government and hence "British Gurkhas" was born. Interestingly "Gorkhas" was called fervor "Gurkhas" (which is universally accepted now), this is what we see as an anglicized version of a word first heard by English ears back in the early 18th century. Britian and India both recruit Gurkhas presently.
The city of Kathmandu with its exotic temples, hills and a vibrant ethic population is one of the most romantic cities on earth. Approximately 200 kilometers from Kathmandu lies the valley of Pokhra surrounded by the mighty Annapurna range. The recruitment of the Gurkhas from the surrounding villages is concentrated in this region. Once in the hills, these villages can only be reached by a network of interconnecting footpaths through treacherous passes, across deep gorges and bamboo bridges. Torrential rain, blizzards, earthquakes, landslides and floods usually hit this region. Getting supplies here is difficult and farming is limited.
This is the home of the Gurkhas. A land that is inhospitable, tough and remote. It is also the landscape that makes the Gurkhas what they are. Culture also plays its subtle role in their overall development. They are family oriented and pride and honor are words and deeds synonymous with the Gurkhas. Their simplicity shines through their cheerful personality and the generosity of their hospitality is profound and touching. Yet, in warfare their strength of character and bravado is legendary. Gentle yet tough. The Gurkhas represent nearly all the ethnic groups of Nepal even though Magars, Rais, Gurungs and Tamangs form a majority within the ranks. Gurkhas are famous for their courage, loyalty, neutrality and impartiality. A Gurkha soldier is more than a mere warrior and embraces the traits of simplistic humanity without a fuss. The poignancy of their simple lives in remote, beautiful villages as well as the fierce determination they show in battle is a reflection that borders on the aesthetic.
A face contorted with determination and intensity, a warrior honorable, brave, loyal and astute. He is a symbol of these qualities in war and peace. His ferocity is as legendary as his loyalty to the British Monarch and his regimental history is packed with acts of incredible bravery and sacrifice. The love of his mountainous homeland and his family is profound and keeps luring him back after the call of duty. He is the indomitable Gurkha soldier and a legend in his own right.
War is never pleasant but its harsh reality can exude the human side of the soldiers involved. Flipping through the pages of history, there are not many tales as fascinating as the history of the Gurkha warriors from the high Himalayas in Nepal.
The word "Gurkha" is derived from Gorkha. The latter is a small town in Nepal and the significance of this place is tantamount to the history of the Gurkhas. The importance of this town is monumental both for Nepali and Gurkha history. Ninety kilometers north of Kathmandu valley, on the way to Pokhra lies the town of Gorkha where it all began. "Gorkha Durbar" is a palace as well as a fort built with a strategic intent by the kings and generals of the House of Gorkha for their planned expansion across the country and beyond. The palace is only 1463 meters above sea level but the climb is very deceptive and is much tougher than it seems. Once atop, it's easy to realize why this particular place was chosen as the focal point for launching military missions in the process of further expansion. It is also blessed with stupendous views of the Himalayas all around.
Prior to the recruitment of Gorkha soldiers into the British Army, this is how their history unfolds :
Prithvi Narayan Shah was the most famous king from the House of Gorkha and was born in the fort itself. At a time when Nepal was dissected into various small kingdoms, Prithvi Narayan Shah managed to unite them all through his military prowess and campaign. He spent 26 years of his life planning a military strategy. He finally launched his campaign after succeeding his father in 1742 and successfully united Nepal into one large kingdom in around 1768-69. Even though Prithvi Narayan Shah died in 1775, the rulers who succeeded him continued the expansion campaign beyond the new territories of Nepal. As the campaign progressed, ambition also grew with it. Northwards expansion towards Tibet angered the Chinese while southern expansion towards India alarmed the British. This brought the fierce Gorkhas or Gurkhas as they were later known, into direct conflict with the British East India Company. The court of directors in London called for an assessment report of the situation. They found out that the Gorkhas had built a substantial munitions factory in the hills and had established efficient supply columns.
The Gorkha soldiers were known for their speed and their willingness to fight till death under extreme conditions. They also had an intricate knowledge of the terrain and were perfectly suited for guerilla warfare. The British were reluctant to take on such an elusive and successful Gorkha force, which had required the strength of a vast Chinese army to push them out of Tibet. Eventually the Governor General of Bengal was authorized to declare that the British Empire was at war with the small but aggressive state of Nepal. By the time this declaration was made, Nepal was under the insightful leadership of Prime Minister, Maharajah Bhimsen Thapa and very young king Girvan Yuddha Shah. This was to be the first campaign for the British General in the unfamiliar hills of Nepal.
The British had decided to use a two-pronged attack using 22,000 men. The force was divided into eastern and western division :
East Side: The eastern battalion was confronted by extremely difficult terrain and failed in every single objective and first campaign nearly collapsed. A British General by the name of Rollo Gillespie left his camp at Meerut, 112 kilometers from Delhi and headed towards the Nepali border with 4000 men and 20 guns. He captured the valley of Dehra Dun but was abruptly halted for six weeks by Gorkha resistance run from a small fort in Kalunga; famously known as the "Nalapani Ko Ladain" in Nepal. It was built on a 152-meter high hill and was surrounded by dense undergrowth. In it were 600 men and women of Magar and Gurung descent under the astute command of Bal Bahadur Kunwar. Gillespie's army had surrounded the fort and was convinced that the Gorkhas would give up any kind of resistance since the British heavily outnumbered them. He sent a message asking the Gorkhas to surrender. Instead, the leader of the Gorkhas in the fort tore the letter and in the next few days repelled several attacks by the British. One of Gillespie's officers, James Fraser wrote: "they fought us in fair conflict like men, and in the intervals of actual combat, showed us a courtesy worthy of a more enlightened people." Another officer John Ship wrote: "I never saw more steadiness or bravery exhibited in my life. Run they would not and of death, they seemed to have no fear, though their comrades were falling thick around them, for we were so near that every shot told." In the middle of all this mayhem, a Gorkha soldier came clamoring over the ramparts. His jaw had been shattered by a musket ball and was pleading for medical assistance.
After receiving treatment from his British adversaries, the British were expecting him to surrender but he audaciously said no and headed back to the fort to resume the battle. Every British attack on the fort was repelled. The Gorkhas and their women threw every kind of missile at the British soldiers until, out of food, water and ammunition; the fort finally gave in to the attacks. Still, there was no surrender. The remaining 85 able-bodied Gorkhas escaped under the cover of darkness to fight another day. The battle of the fort had been ferocious and the British had suffered more losses. The British casualties included 31 officers and 732 soldiers while the Gorkhas lost 520. Both armies fought with utmost bravery and military proficiency and in return succeeded in earning mutual respect and admiration for one another in and through the battle. Two years later, two obelisks were raised at the sight of the fort in honor of the British and the "gallant adversary";.
West Side: The western front was under the leadership of General David Ochterlony and faced the Gorkha General Amar Singh Thapa. The Gorkhas were forced to retreat but this small British victory did not dampen the Nepalese spirit. The British still needed more firepower to dislodge the Gurkhas. Given the circumstances, the court of directors decided to mobilize 35000 men and 120 artillery pieces. They managed to defeat the Gurkhas but such was their admiration for their adversary that they let Amar Singh Thapa march out with all his arms and his personal property. The Nepalese forces were heavily outstretched and were forced to seek a settlement before being completely outrun.
The Gorkhas finally caved in to pressure from the British and had to relinquish large parts of land they had won thus withdrawing from Sikkim, territories west of the Kali River and most of its lands in the terai. (Southern lowlands bordering India). One of the British generals wrote in 1815: "they are hardy, cheerful and endure privations and are very obedient, have not much of the distinction of caste and are a neutral kind of Hindu. Under our government, they would make excellent soldiers." After this, an important and highly unusual clause was included in the peace. agreement, which was became known as the "Treaty of Segauli". The clause gave the British army the right to recruit Nepalese citizens. From then on, Nepal became the only country whose citizens fought in wars that it had no direct conflict with. The initiation of the recruitment itself was unique in military history. Seldom in the history of warfare been two sides so impressed by the others performance and bravery that they decide to unite rather than collide. This speaks volumes about the ferocity as well as the gentlemanly amicability of the Gurkha soldiers. From then on, the camaraderie between the British and Gurkha soldiers has grown unflinchingly.
The formation of the Gurkha Army started long before the "Treaty of Saguali" was actually signed by Nepal, India and Britain. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gurkha Riffles (as they were later known) were raised from the captured Prisoners of War of Indo-Nepal war in 1814-15 and large number of volunteers from Nepal (Gorkha). They were initially recognized as the "Local Battalion" or "Native Army" and were deployed to numerous fronts and successfully assisted the British achieved their military objectives. However, it was only after the "Great Indian Mutiny" in 1857 in which the Gurkhas exhibited extra ordinary military prowess, fearsome courage and utmost loyalty that the British comprehended the Gurkhas and realized the importance and thus in the process it cemented the relationship of the British and Gurkha which continues till this day. The Honorable East Indian
Company was in the verge of collapsing during the great Indian Mutiny that lasted for almost three years. The deployment of Gurkha Units came as a savior for the company that was further boosted by the reinforcement of 7 Nepalese Regiments commanded by Prime Minister and Army Chief of Nepal Jung Bahadur Rana who himself eliminated the mutineers. This highly commendable support from the Gurkhas strengthened the bond of friendship and loyalty in between Britain and Nepal and both have been the closest of friends and allies since then.
Gurkhas along with British have fought countless wars, campaigns, battles including the Great War (World War I) and World War II and in many post-world war fronts where Gurkhas have shown their outstanding bravery, courage and spirit to fight till death under the harshest of conditions. More than 200 thousand fought in WW I and more than quarter a million in WW II with more than 45 thousand killed or injured in both wars. Gurkhas continues to serve the British with the same passion, attitude and faith and their courage, loyalty and ability as an honorable and a fearsome soldier of the world has never been questioned and presumably will never be.
They have proven their worth . . . "We salute you"

Do you miss the smooth purring sound your RV engine used to make when you switched it on? An aging/malfunctioning battery can make your RV ride frustrating with consistent engine ignition problems. Ignoring these problems would turn our 'funV' into a box of disappointment; taking too much time to start, dying in the middle of your trip leaving you stranded. That is certainly the most inconvenient and unsafe way to travel. And you cannot have that, especially when you are thinking about selling the RV. Your potential buyers would surely notice these problems and the deals you are looking for would be gone forever. The only way to handle these issues is maintaining the batteries properly. How? Well, here are a few suggestions that can get you started.
Charging the Battery
It could be aging, over usage or lack of usage that pushed your battery to the breaking point. However, proper maintenance can work wonders to prevent repairing or replacing the battery. Charge your battery when its charge drops to 80 percent or more. If you do not, a chemical reaction known as sulfation will occur, degrading the battery performance. You should also check and reduce the discharge depth of your battery. And make sure it has more than at least 10.5 volts while discharging. Make it a habit to recharge your battery every few days even if it is in the garage, to stop it from discharging automatically.
Look for Parasitic Loads
Appliances like LP-gas leak detectors, clocks, and stereos siphon power from your battery thus leading it to discharge even when the RV is not in use. You can tackle this problem by using the battery disconnect switch. When your RV is not in use, shut down the power supply from the battery to prevent it from discharging automatically.
Keep the Battery Performance in Check
Checking your RV battery for performance will give you clues about whether you need a better maintenance plan or if it is time to replace the old fellow. You can use a multimeter to check the performance level. Hook it up with the battery and check the readings after charging the battery. If it shows around or over 12 volts (engine off), and 13.8 to 14.5 volts (with engine on) then it is working fine. Also, check if your battery is showing a pattern of losing all the charge overnight (from being fully charged). That could indicate you need a new battery for the RV.
Boosting up the RV resale price is not simple, with so many sellers out there. But, remember that your buyers are looking for a well-maintained RV to start their trip right away. Keeping your battery in check can win you huge points in this regard.
