Our Origins
Fruitful Abundance began when a group of keen Northamptonshire gardeners decided to swap the surplus produce from their allotments or veg' patches. From that small seed, we have grown beautifully!
We now tackle the over-supply in our wider food system. Supermarkets are often left with unsold, but perfectly edible, food. Our team of collectors pick up from a wide variety of stores and bring produce to our hubs to be stored in our goods area; or frozen or chilled.
Other volunteers work in our network of shops (pop-up and bricks and mortar), event stalls and cafes. The chefs and waiting staff give up their time to create delicious meals, tailoring menus to match our stock.
Schools, charities and other charities also share our produce and we support new projects to get going. As a Community Interest Company we invest any profits into developing the enterprise.
Raising awareness
Through talks and food demonstrations we show how food 'waste' can be saved from ending in going for landfill. We also spread the word at festivals, local events and organise shows. Our allotments – some in the middle of busy areas of social housing – grow food for us – while farms, gardens and smallholdings surplus also donate to us..
Taking Donations
For the communities we serve, often in areas of deprivation, our cafes allow people a place to enjoy the company of others and enjoy a nourishing, home cooked, meal. Some cafes have price lists, which start from a £1 for a meal. Many projects just ask for donations to cover our costs. For any of our customers, including those who face food poverty, our fresh fruit and vegetables, other goods and plentiful supplies of bread offer an alternative place to shop.
We rescue an average 3 tonnes of food each week, but are adding new suppliers and collections all the time. But that is not the only way we aim for a social impact. Many of our volunteers gain confidence working in the shop or cafes and through our training. We are an inclusive organisation, where those with learning difficulties or physical disabilities are valued for their contribution.
True to our origins, the principles from the earliest days are still there today: sharing, creating a sustainable food system and growing our community for future generations.

President's Message
Fall is in the air... the humidity is dropping and there is just a hint of coolness. Yes, it's time for our 4th Annual Ybor OktoberFest Pub Crawl. And, what better way to celebrate this time of year! I am pleased to say the Ybor City Chamber is poised to host our best O'Fest ever!
Speaking of the best ever - I am proud to announce that Ybor City received five "Best of the Bay" awards from Creative Loafing. Three "Readers Picks" - Best Party District, Best Place to Bring an Out-of-Towner and Best Place to People-Watch, along with two "Critic's Picks" - Best Move Toward Improvement: Guavaween and Best Drag Show Circuit (which I would like to share with our GaYbor colleagues).
While we are much cooler than your father's Chamber of Commerce, we also honor tradition. Our 48th Annual Gala was awesome. We celebrated three generations of engagement in Ybor City by the J.C. Newman Cigar Family. The Gala was both breathtaking in its elegance and deeply moving in its ceremony. The Newman's own and operate the last major cigar manufacturing company in Ybor City and one of only four remaining in the United States.
Our next event of Ybor's Holiday Season will be our 28th Annual Guavaween Costume Contest to be held on Saturday, October, 26th in the south courtyard of Centro Ybor. Local rock band Scilter takes to the stage at 7:00 PM with Mama Guava coming on at 9:00 PM to judge the Costume Contest.
Our theme this year is "Monster Mash" featuring the classic movie monsters from the golden age of horror films. I expect a gruesome array of mummies, werewolves, Frankensteins, vampires, and of course zombies will be stalking their way through the streets of Ybor City on Guavaween night. Grotesque and/or camp movie-aliens are also encouraged to land, infiltrate and replace the native population.
Ciao, Tom

New Zealand issued airmail stamps for the first time on 10 November 1931. However, some stamps were sold in Highfield (Timaru) on 9 November.
All the Highfield covers contain the full set of airmail stamps and are postmarked Highfield on 9 November, the day before the stamps were officially issued.
The example cover is to England and is routed via the Karachi-London Air Mail Service. Mail from New Zealand to the UK was first sent by sea to Sydney. The routing instructions would mean that it was then sent by sea from Sydney to Karachi.
However, it has the cachet of the first All Australian Airmail in which Christmas mail was flown all the way from Australia to London. As there are examples of that cachet being applied in error, the question of which service was used remains.
The following three points show that the cover was flown on the All Australian Airmail of Charles Kingsford Smith and Scotty Allan.
It seems clear that the sender intended the cover to be sent by the regular Karachi - London service and the reason that it carried extra postage was purely philatelic - i.e. to have the complete set of airmail stamps.
According to the Airmails of New Zealand, vol 2, some covers flown on the special internal flight and intended for the Karachi-London service also received this cachet. However it was noticed that some of these covers that did not carry sufficient postage for the All Australian Airmail and they were sent by sea to Karachi. (The 3d fee for the internal airmail meant that a cover with the full airmail set plus 2d surface postage would be 1d short of the required postage.)
It therefore seems that the authorities decided that, provided a cover carried sufficient postage, mail for the UK would be sent by the (supposedly much faster) service provided by the All Australian Airmail.
The covers were all sent by Alex F M Paterson, the first President of the Airmail Society of New Zealand. He was from Timaru and was the originator of many covers of the period, often addressing the letters to himself. The covers usually have Paterson's name and address on the back in purple produced by a rubber stamp.
I have seen several other Highfield covers described in articles or auctions or scans have been sent to me by their owners. They were sent mainly to other aerophilatelists or dealers and brief descriptions are given below.
Nine more to Davis
A second cover {2} addressed to Davis in Liverpool is depicted in an article [4], a third one {3} was offered on eBay in June 2008 while a fourth one {4} was offered by the Complete Stamp Company in December 2010, a fifth one {5} by Auckland City Stamps in April 2012. A scan of a sixth one {6} has been sent to me by its owner while a seventh one {7} was sold by Len Jury in 2004 and a scan has been sent to me by its owner. An eighth one {8} was on eBay in June 2013. A ninth cover {9} was offered in an Mowbray auction in October 2014 at $1000NZ while a tenth cover {10} was sent to me by its owner after my article in The Kiwi [6].
Four to Paterson c/o Dalwick
The scan of the cover on the left {11} was sent to me by its owner, John Desbois. It is addressed to Alex Paterson himself c/o R Dalwick in Bournemouth. A second cover to Alex Paterson c/o Dalwick was in the 2011 auction of the New Zealand Society of Great Britain {12} while a third cover was sent to me by its owner {13} and a fourth from the Robin Startup estate was in the auction of the New Zealand Air Mail Society in February 2018 {14}.
Seven more to Dalwick
Another Highfield cover {15} addressed to Dalwick himself is shown on the front cover of the Stapleton catalogue [2] while a second cover {16} to the same address was sold on eBay in August 2004 and again in an auction in 2008 and a scan has been sent to me by its owner. The scan of two further covers to dalwick {17, 18} have also been sent to me by their (different) owners. A fifth {19} was in an auction in August 2013 while a sixth {20} was on eBay in May 2016 and a seventh{21} was on eBay in February 2018.
Three to Drossos
Walker [1] describes a cover to Greece and such a cover {22} is
shown on the website of the
Air Mail Society of New Zealand.
The cover is addressed to
Alex Paterson
c/o the famous dealer
P J Drossos.
A similar, but different,
cover {23} was offered in an auction in 2003.
It is routed via the Karachi - London service and was backstamped
in Greece on 15 December.
A third from the Robin Startup estate was in the auction of the New Zealand Air Mail Society in February 2018 {24}.
Two to Smith
Two covers {25}, {26} to Stephen Smith in Calcutta were advertised in auctions in 2011. They have the routing instructions Via Australian Air Mail Services. One of them was offered again in 2012.
Two to Paterson c/o Roessler
A cover to America {27}, addressed to Alex Paterson c/o the famous dealer A C Roessler was offered for sale in 2003. A different cover {28} with the same address was in the Auckland City Stamps auction in March 2012.
Five more to Roessler
A cover addressed to Roessler himself {29} was offered on eBay in 2010 and the successful bidder sent me a scan which is shown here while a similar cover {30} from the Allan Berry collection was in an Auckland City Stamps auction in March 2011 with an estimate of $NZ1000. A scan of a third cover {31} to Roessler himself was sent to me by its owner and a fourth from the Robin Startup estate was in the auction of the New Zealand Air Mail Society in February 2018 {32}. A fifth {33} was listed on eBay on 31 August 2018.
One to Haiti
A cover to Haiti {34}, via USA, was offered in 2004 in the sale of the Mike Shand Collection.
One to Dworak
Finally, a cover to a Mr A.V. Dworak at the Gossip Printery in Kansas {35} was offered in a John Mowbray auction in 2009 with an estimate of $NZ1000.
(This is the only page on the site where other people's scans are shown.
I have other scans of Highfield covers, but do not show them as I do
not have the permission of their owner.
However, I save them to ensure that there is no double counting in the above list.
If you own a Highfield cover, I would be very interested in receiving
a scan to check if it is on the list.)
The first two scans were made by the author.

Book Description:
Published: June 30, 2015
When Ian saves Lissa from a terrible first date, he discovers that they share a sizzling physical connection. Unwilling to draw the seemingly innocent young woman into his world of violence and espionage, Ian tries to keeps his distance. But when the blonde bombshell asks him to introduce her to BDSM, all bets are off.
Ian vows to protect her from his secret life, but Lissa quickly becomes involved in the danger that surrounds him. What neither of them realize is her secrets might put them both in greater peril than Ian ever imagined.
Review –
I enjoyed reading this free book but was disappointed that it was so short(103 pages). I understand the author's thinking that if you like it enough you'll be willing to buy the next in the series. But, I don't know if I want to spend money for a book that is only about a hundred pages long and then have to buy another and another to complete the series. Instead, why not write one long book and charge a reasonable price? It's a shame because I really liked the two main characters and their intense chemistry together and a bad guy has turned up that I didn't expect. That being said, I don't plan to go any further with this series.

If you have ulcerative colitis find out the best ways to manage your symptoms.
Has one of our Troy, MI, gastroenterologists diagnosed you with ulcerative colitis? If so, you may be trying to learn everything you can about this condition, including how to treat it. Let our gastrointestinal specialists step in to provide you with the information you need to put your mind at ease and to reduce ulcerative colitis flare-ups.
What is ulcerative colitis?
This chronic condition causes inflammation and ulcers within the lining of the digestive tract, more specifically within the large intestines (also known as the colon) and the rectum.
When symptoms flare-up the sufferer may experience abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, diarrhea, loss of appetite, unexpected weight loss and fatigue. Everyone's body responds differently, and symptoms of ulcerative colitis can range from mild to severe. Some people may experience regular and severe flare-ups while others may never experience a flare-up at all.
How is ulcerative colitis treated?
If symptoms aren't present then you may not actually require treatment. Of course, our Troy, MI, GI doctors will create a treatment plan based on the frequency and severity of your symptoms. In most cases, your treatment plan will include both lifestyle modifications and medications.
Those with milder symptoms may be able to control their symptoms through a proper and balanced diet, antidiarrheal medications, and steroid medications (for when flare-ups occur). Those with moderate-to-severe flare-ups may require more long-term steroid medication to reduce inflammation and ulcers. The strength of the steroid medication will depend on the severity of your symptoms.
The goal of steroids is to reduce the length of your flare-ups and to send ulcerative colitis into remission. Immunosuppressants may also reduce severe inflammation. In rare cases, surgery may be required.
Can diet help with ulcerative colitis?
It's important to understand that your diet did not contribute to you developing this intestinal condition; however, the foods you consume could affect flare-ups. This is why it's important to find the right diet and lifestyle that works for you. This varies between people so don't assume that a diet that works for one person with ulcerative colitis will work for you. It will take some trial and error, but common diets that do improve flare-ups include:
- Low-salt diets
- Low-fiber diet
- Low-fat diets
- Lactose-free diets
Talk to one of our GI specialists about which diet might improve and lessen your symptoms.
Gastrointestinal Specialists in Troy, MI, is dedicated to treating your gastrointestinal problems. No matter whether you are dealing with unexplained abdominal pain, stomach discomfort or other symptoms it's important that you have a medical team by your side to provide you with the answers and individualized care you deserve. Call us today!

ISLAMABAD — Gunmen killed 16 people in Pakistan's largest city Tuesday, officials said, the latest victims in a surge of violence to grip Karachi and underscore the poor state of law and order in this U.S.-allied nation.
At least 48 people, including several political activists, have been killed and another 48 have been wounded since Saturday in the southern port city, according to Sharmila Farooqi, a spokeswoman for the Sindh provincial government, and police. The violence coincided with Sunday's election to replace a provincial lawmaker killed in August.Story: Indian gov't: Pakistan spies tied to Mumbai siege
Karachi, a vast metropolis with more than 16 million residents, is prone to political, ethnic and religious strife. While officials would not name any suspects, many so-called "target killings" in Karachi have been linked to gangs allegedly controlled by two of the city's long-feuding political parties.
Because of its status as the country's main economic hub, keeping Karachi calm is of prime importance to Pakistani leaders who have already seen criminal activity soar alongside Taliban-led Islamist militant violence.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.

- Olympic construction leaves Sochi residents in the cold
- Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The two parties most linked to violence in Karachi — the Muttahida Quami Movement and the Awami National Party — have their electoral bases in different ethnic groups that make up a large share of the city's population.
The MQM claims to represent the Urdu-speaking descendants of those people who came to Karachi from India soon after the birth of Pakistan in 1947. It is secular and likes to speak out against the so-called Talibanization of the city, a jab at the Awami National Party, which represents the ethnic Pashtuns from the Taliban heartland in the northwest.
Raza Haider, the member of the provincial assembly who was gunned down in August, was a senior member of the MQM.
Both parties were competing for Haider's vacant seat, but the ANP announced Saturday evening that it would boycott the election, saying the MQM would rig the vote. The MQM won the seat.
MQM lawmaker Haider Abbas Rizvi said the party had handed authorities a list of 150 alleged criminals it suspects in the attacks but that nothing had come of it. He not only blamed the ANP, but also faulted the Pakistan People's Party, which control's the provincial government.
ANP spokesman Amin Khattak said the MQM was to blame, noting that the killings began shortly after his party said it would boycott the election.
Farooqi said Karachi police were working alongside paramilitary rangers to track down the suspects involved in the attacks, but that the security agencies were overwhelmed and lacked resources.
Also Tuesday, militants attacked an army checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan with rockets and assault rifles, killing three soldiers and wounding two others, said intelligence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The attack took place in the village of Qalandar in South Waziristan, part of Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal area near the Afghan border where the army launched a major offensive against the Pakistani Taliban last fall.
A separate attack against a checkpoint in the nearby village of Pasht Ziarat wounded two soldiers, said the intelligence officials.
The army fired artillery rounds at several militant hideouts in retaliation for the attacks, but it was unclear whether the insurgents suffered any casualties, said the officials.

Students and teachers send Thx notes to recognize and reinforce positive behaviors. Student peer and teacher relationships strengthen and classroom community grows.
Students reflect on their Thx notes, see how their actions impact their community, and build healthy self-perception from the positive feedback while practicing good online behavior.
Teachers monitor and coach students to develop strong gratitude practices and identify and support socially isolated students. All teachers participate in giving and receiving Thx notes to build relationships with their students and colleagues.
Together, teachers and students identify specific positive behaviors and develop a common language for recognition and reinforcement.
We built GiveThx to take proven gratitude practices and make them more accessible, coherent, and powerful.
Equitable Access: Private, digital Thx notes make the practice of gratitude safer for all students, particularly those who do not feel comfortable expressing gratitude to others in a public way (i.e. shoutouts or kudos).
Coherence: Students have a way to understand how their actions impact their community. Additionally, they realize the ways others appreciate them, building positive self-perception.
Powerful: Two of the hardest things about building a new habit are getting started and sticking with it. We designed GiveThx with students and teachers to be easy to use and contagious.
Much of social emotional learning measurement involves pre and post surveys over many months. GiveThx captures artifacts of gratitude practice such as giving frequency, goal progress, and behaviors recognized. This data provides evidence for learning in the moment, filling in the blanks between surveys and informing students of their progress over time with their own words and statistics as their guide.
Pilot results in schools across the country show significant increases in positive student peer and teacher relationships and a deeper sense of self. We are currently working with the Youth Gratitude Project and California State University Dominguez Hills to explore the effects of using their gratitude curriculum with GiveThx. Initial research results shows significant increases in gratitude, positive moods, life satisfaction, and friendship satisfaction and decreases in negative affect, perceived stress, and anxiety.
"I like GiveThx because it helps people feel better and that's what makes me feel better."
- 2nd grader, South San Francisco, CA
We are looking for a select group of 2nd-12th grade teacher leaders to join our Fall 2018 Teacher Pioneer Program. Learn more and apply to become a Teacher Pioneer and use GiveThx at your school for free.
Using research-validated curriculum, teachers introduce the concepts of gratitude and mindfulness to students over multiple lessons
Using GiveThx, teachers and students identify specific positive behaviors and develop a common language for recognition.
Students practice behaviors such as cooperation, listening, and critical thinking throughout the school day and gain recognition from their peers.
On a GiveThx profile, students see a visual representation of the actions they've been recognized for and the behaviors they've appreciated in others.
Students reflect on gratitude given and received as well as their own personal growth, captured by their GiveThx profile.
Teachers coach and guide students by seeing group and individual activity in real time and progress over time. Students receive frequent and contextual feedback.

This joint chairing is aimed at bringing together industry and the 3rd Sector in a new and effective way to increase coverage and the strategic opportunities for effective partnership working. The purpose of the Research, Cures and Treatments panel is to provide a unified position on methods to prevent, treat and cure eye health conditions, now and in the future by establishing a partnership between the sight loss and eye health sector as well as patient groups, service providers and industry.
The Vision UK Services Support and Care Panel will be joint chaired by Phil Ambler, Director of Evidence and Policy, Thomas Pocklington Trust and Paul Bowerbank, County Manager, Sensory support & Assistive Technology, Norfolk County Council & Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS). The panel brings together local authority and the 3rd sector and will look strategically at a wide range of issues within services from 3rd to statutory sectors. This will include topics such as: habilitation, rehabilitation, technology, housing and social care. The panel will put forward, and advocate for, unified strategic outcomes to improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people. The target groups include children, families and carers, those with complex conditions and multi-morbidities in consultation with blind and partially sighted people. To achieve this, the panel will include a wide representation from the eye health and sight loss sector to statutory and medical services.
Tina Houlihan said: "I am delighted to be joint chairing this panel at this exciting time for eye research in the UK. We are all aware of the deficiencies and gaps in eye research and coming together to collaborate on solutions is a central part of improving the potential for innovations and cures."
Paul Bowerbank said: "I am pleased to be part of the Services Support and Care Panel. The issues around social care and support for blind and partially sighted people are wide ranging and complex and only through collaborative efforts can we begin to make strategic changes to improve lives and make society more inclusive. I look forward to the work ahead."
Matt Broom CEO Vision UK commented: "The new strategic panels are the cornerstone of the work of Vision UK and our strategic aspirations for the UK to be a nation where everyone is aware of eye health eye conditions are identified early, treated effectively and, where possible, cured.

The Junior Tennis program runs for eight weeks on our four private courts located at the Fisher Family Tennis Center. Any child that resides in the dwelling of an active Colony Club member may participate in the program. Junior Tennis program rates are determined based on active SBCC Family Tennis membership.
The Junior Tennis program is run by Steve Queenan, USPTA, SBCC's head tennis professional, along with a staff of assistants, and offers these programs for all ages and skill levels:
- Special Events include the Pizza Party season opener and the Tiny Gregg tennis tournament, scheduled the 7thweek of the season.
- Pee Wee Hopefuls for ages 4 to 6, or younger, at the Pro's discretion. An age-appropriate introduction to the game of tennis. Players in this clinic use lower compression red balls to learn the fundamental motor skills and basic techniques of the game. Parents are encouraged to help feed balls during match-play at the end of practice.
- Junior Hopefuls for ages 7 & 8 years, or younger, at the Pro's discretion. Includes an introduction to ground strokes, service and net play and instruction of game rules and strategy for beginners in preparation for B – Team Tennis, playing with orange ball from the 60ft court.
- Team Tennis for ages 9 to 16 years, or younger, at the Pro's discretion (for players who can serve from the baseline and return serve). Includes intra-club practice two days per week and weekly match play against other nearby clubs. The team is split into two groups, the "A-Team" and the "B-Team," based both on age and ability at the Pro's discretion, and Sagamore certainly has some talented kids! The "up or down" age has traditionally been 12 years old – meaning a strong 12 year old would play up or a developing 12 year old may play down. The B-Team competitions use either orange ball on a 60 ft court or green ball, full court. B-Team players need to be able to hold orange ball rallies and serve from the 60ft court with some consistency. A-Team players play full court, yellow ball.
- Private lessons are available by contacting Steve Queenan, USPTA directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 508-888-2827. Rates are $40/hour flat fee for either private or semi-private lessons. As a reminder, Steve is the only tennis pro authorized to use the Club's tennis courts for tennis lesson

For the new issue of luxe mag Violet Grey, Kim Kardashian was given a stunning makeover by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath.
Here is the icon chanelling another (two) icon(s); as Elizabeth Taylor's character in the 1963 film, Cleopatra. Just wow.
It's not your standard Celopatra graphic liner look though, this is "a futuristic 3D version," Pat explained.
"I wanted to portray a luxurious decadence by using elements of ornate facial jewellery constructed into shapes that pay homage to Egyptian culture, and of course to the rich exotic character that Taylor portrayed in this role."
The feather-like gold wings around Kim's eyes were created with wire, Swarovski crystals, gold metal leaves, wax, paint, kohl, gel, and glitter. Phew!
This is makeup as jewellery – super-luxe and super-Kardashian.

We've always loved the freedom that any sort of leisure vehicle gives you, starting out with a tiny 2 berth caravan not long after we first met back in 1988, I was just 18 years old and driving off for the odd night away to our local haunts in Snowdonia, it was a welcome break from the hard working week and a proper little home from home, sadly we had to sell the small Sprite to buy a more essential bit of kit, a washing machine!!
Throughout our twenties and thirties with babies in tow, travel cots, bottle warmers, prams, toys and bikes all accompanied us over the years, seeing caravans replaced by motorhomes and children becoming teenagers then adults until we reached the big milestone of empty nest syndrome and our now late forty something selves, we're back to being just the two of us with time to expand our travelling wings and take on new vanlife adventures of a slightly different kind, taking on a smaller van, a 4×4 Sprinter, to get us to those more out of the way places no matter what the terrain.
These 30 years of caravan, motorhome and van travels have led to a complete array of destinations across Europe and further afield covering a 23,000KM road trip of Australia and 3 separate van tours of New Zealand. We're hoping these are just the beginning of more long haul van explorations, one reason we opted for our Sprinter in the hope that we ship it over to Canada, America and others to get a taste of different worldwide travels in the comfort of our own van.
We've learnt so much over the years, experienced so many weird and wonderful destinations and most importantly found out the nitty gritty in's and out's of everything van related, from fixtures and fittings, equipment, problem solving, what we love and hate in a van, what we can't do without, what we can leave behind and those bits and pieces that you think are a good idea at the time but turn out to be a complete waste of time and money!
Sometimes, we've learnt the hard way, for instance, the first time we travelled by camper into Europe, we booked several weeks of campsites before we left home, thinking that we would be touring in a similar way to what we used to do with our caravan! Oh my goodness, what a mistake, passing beautiful villages, amazing scenery and driving for ages just to reach a campsite didn't last long!!
After a few days our first lesson was well and truly learnt, those campsite bookings were cancelled and we discovered why all the French campers were parked together in something called an Aire de Camping Car!!!!!…….gosh it's hard to believe looking back now that we didn't even know about Aires back then, there was no English Aires book to give a list of All the Aires in France and certainly no mobile phones, let alone an app!! We did, though, find a French publication that gave us a rough idea of what we were looking for and where we'd find our parking spot for the night and never looked back!
We'd first bought a garage model van with a fixed bed above, something a bit unusual then, it was a British Swift Bessacarr and unusual for a British manufacturer then to actually build a fixed bed European layout, in fact, we got it at a highly reduced price as the dealer couldn't sell it to the Brits who wanted a traditional lounge type layout! The garage fixed bed layout still suits us now, storing all the outdoor gear out of sight, bikes, skies, boots, wet clothes, bbq, outdoor chairs have all been hidden away in the garage and no having to make up and put away a bed each day and night!Problem Solving
Over the years we learnt many tips and tricks to get the most out of a trip and how to deal with things when they go wrong, especially those dreaded moments when the heating stops working or the lights go out just as the temperature's dropped to some unkindly extreme and there we are fumbling around with a torch for a solution. We've also heard a tale or two, some real strange ones during our business years of our motorhome hire company, it certainly reminded us that nearly all problem solving has a back to basics approach, as 9 times out of 10 there really is a simple solution to an issue.
We hope to enlighten you with a little of our knowledge, we always think that even if you learn just one thing then it could be enough to jog the memory when on your own travels or maybe guide you on your path to what to include in your own van or even help with a little problem solving no matter how big or small.
There's so much information to give, too many hints, tips and tales to tell in just one article so watch this space, follow our blog and social media as we gradually bring out the best of our knowledge and share the warts and all of vanlife with the masses!!

One of the earliest transactions involving Bitcoin was the indirect exchange of 10,000 units of the then-little-known cryptocurrency for two pizzas in 2010. Hopefully the pizzas were very good, because those Bitcoins are now worth about US$100 million.
While the story is now part of Bitcoin lore, it serves to illustrate just how extreme the growth in the cryptocurrency's value has been.
That rise has added a new dimension and urgency to a question that has been complicating the estate-planning process in recent years: What happens to your digital property when you die?
Since the concept of digital property is so new, it is rarely addressed in wills, often leaving ill-equipped trustees or family members to attempt to navigate a web of online accounts and assets.
Cryptocurrencies are only part of the story.
Social media accounts have become an integral part of our lives. Rewards programs, travel miles and even gaming profiles are also increasingly common, while email accounts routinely carry massive amounts of information, sentimental history and value.
This information and content is certainly worthy of protection, and making conscious decisions in advance is the best way to ensure that these assets and accounts are passed along in the manner intended.
Rewards programs, travel miles, gaming profiles are increasingly common, while email accounts carry massive amounts of information, sentimental history and value
One potential solution whose time has come is the idea of appointing an "electronic" estate trustee within a will.
While an electronic estate trustee would have the same general duty as the executor or "traditional" estate trustee — carrying out the wishes of the deceased — its role would be much narrower: this individual would be simply tasked with managing and administering digital assets and accounts, and could be selected based on their trustworthiness and technological savvy.
When it comes to digital assets, making sure the electronic estate trustee knows what to look for is key.
Currently, many rewards programs allow for a deceased person's points to be transferred, but if your representative doesn't know you have enrolled, there's a chance an asset worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars could be lost.
Just knowing what exists, however, isn't always enough.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are tracked on a public ledger, can only be accessed by an individual holding a private password. That password could be stored online, on a private computer, on external devices or even scrawled on a piece of paper. Individuals must ensure this knowledge also makes its way to the electronic estate trustee — Bitcoin has no central registry, so a forgotten password and backup sadly means a huge loss.
When it comes to digital accounts, things can be even more complex.
One of the electronic estate trustee's roles would be to navigate the specific rules and regulations of each digital account provider. This can be difficult, as each provider's terms and conditions can seemingly change at will.
Facebook, for example, has acknowledged that the handling of pages of people who have died is a growing concern. In response, the company has allowed users to appoint a legacy contact who is provided with limited access to a user's page after the original user dies. While a legacy contact can write pinned posts and update a user's profile, the legacy contact cannot technically log in to the account, or remove or change past posts.
If a legacy contact has not been appointed, Facebook requires confirmation from an immediate family member or executor. This is where the electronic estate trustee can step in. Upon providing the right confirmation, the electronic estate trustee could even request removal of the Facebook account.
The key information for the electronic estate trustee is full knowledge of the digital assets and digital accounts, as well as the passwords needed to access them.
You should not, however, put a password directly into a will, as wills generally become public. Finding another way to convey that information is best.
A method that has been growing in popularity is the use of an electronic wallet or a password manager program. This is essentially a safety deposit box in which the "valuables" are the passwords for email, reward programs, social media and so on.
Digital assets and digital accounts are becoming a massive part of people's lives. They will continue to accrue incredible value. Taking the right steps to preserve this property and pass it along in accordance with an estate plan is not an easy endeavour.
Appointing an electronic estate trustee can be a very useful way to make sure your wishes are carried out. In contrast, failure to properly plan can bring with it the loss or destruction of property.
As time goes on, the use of digital assets and digital accounts should only increase. Although still a bit unusual today, there may be a time when including digital assets and digital accounts in your estate plan is second nature. Even if your assets are only worth of a couple of pizzas now, who knows what they will be worth in the future.

It may seem weird, but yes - SharePoint Web GUID is not unique across the tenant/farm. And it has never been.
It is unique only inside a site collection.
It can be confusing (everyone knows what acronym means), most of us probably has never noticed that... But it is what it is.
And you'll probably notice it more often with fast site creation for modern Team and Comm sites in SharePoint Online.
So remember that fact... and modify your code if it based on assumption that the Guid is unique.

Yet another celebration has past, and I have yet again created my own pie. This pie started because certain members of my family have gone Gluten free, and I wanted to make a pie with a real gluten free crust. Then I decided that I wanted chocolate mousse in that pie crust, then I decided that I wanted a thick cherry topping on that pie… so here is the recipe of my Christmas pie that turned out to be really amazing. (I am basically amazing at pie making… 🙂 )
Pie Crust (gluten free)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/3 cup lard
Yes you have to use lard… it is the fundamental component of pie crust… besides for this gluten free, it makes the crust work right despite the lack of gluten.
Cut the lard into the flours until thoroughly mixed, add water little by little until you have added enough to make a ball of dough that is not moist. Roll it out, put it in a pie pan, and back at 350 for about 10 min. Let crust cool before adding mousse.
For the mousse, I whip heavy whipping cream with a touch of vanilla and sugar until very stiff, and then melt one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. When they have almost cooled entirely, you fold the chocolate gently into the whipped cream. I always have varying success at making the mousse smooth and chocolate looking, however, if your chocolate does make little clumps, the flavor is unaffected. Scoop mousse into pie crust and smooth the top.
For the cherry topping:
~ 1lb of fresh cherries, halved and pitted
1/2 cup late bottled vintage port (you could use a tawny port too…)
touch of vanilla
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
no more than 1-2 tablespoons sugar. (The goal of the pie is rich, not sweet)
Heat on medium to low heat until the cherries have thoroughly juiced. All of the actual cherry parts should be slightly submerged in the liquid.
To thicken, place 1.5 tablespoons corn starch in a bin that has a lid, add 3-4 tablespoons Port and shake. Pour into cherry sauce and stir. Remove from heat as soon as it thickens. Allow this to cool completely, and then spread on top of the mousse.
I always make mousse pies the day before both for time and because the mousse improves with overnight refrigeration. The pie crust was flaky, crumbly, and yet held together, and the mousse and cherry combination was rich and absolutely amazing.

It's late at night--I'm heading off to bed with plans to get up early in the morning and prepare for Thursday morning training. I've been busy with small and big things at the office - training more staff to work as operators for our phone system, setting up links on the intranet so staff families can access ministry information from home, and planning a software upgrade for one of our servers.
My coordinator just returned this week from spending multiple weeks in Asia -- helping them network their offices with computers to increase communication and help things on the mission field run more smoothly. Now we're praying for more staff in India to help run those computers. And we can use more IT staff in the US office as well. Oh, and we lost one of our native missionaries this past week to malaria.
Please pray for me -- that I would continue to be diligent in what God (and my coordinators) have asked me to do.
Following God's call to be a radical Christ-follower, a passionate helpmate, and a relentless eternity-changer

|Pte Solomon Hanson
Grenadier Guards,
Killed in Action,
1st August 1917
Age 22
Buried Dozinghem Military Cemetery
Newspaper Report:
Helmshore has lost a brave young fellow in Private Soloman Hanson, Grenadier Guards, who fell in action on August 1st 1917, age 22.
He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert hanson, of 1 Station Brow, Helmshore. At the time of enlisting 13 months ago he was a firebeater at Holme Bleachworks, Rawtenstall, and his name is on the roll of honour of Musbury Church, which he attended regularly. He went to the front a year ago.
His younger brother, Private John James Hanson, Lancashire Fusiliers, although only 19, has been wounded twice - the last time being when two of his toes were blown off, - and he is now at Bury Military Hospital. The youngest brother is 17.
The father himself is an old soldier. He served 10 years with the Lancashire Fusiliers, and received his discharge in 1889.
Newspaper Memorials:
In loving memory of Private Soloman Hanson, Grenadier Guards, eldest son of Albert and Annie Hanson, of 1 Station Brow, Helmshore, and who was killed in action on August 1st 1917.
"He fought for King and country;
He's done his level best,
For the sake of old England's honour,
And now he has gone to rest.
Duty called him; he was there,
To do his bit and take his share;
His heart was good, his spirit brave,
His resting place a soldier's grave.
He marched away so bravely,
His head so proudly held;
His footsteps never faltered,
His courage never failed.
He will answer no more the roll call,
Nor rush at the bugle's sound;
But Lord, when the roll is called in heaven,
May his name on Thy book be found.
From his Father, Mother, Sisters and Brothers.

text: International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Blind Angler Slams Trout Australian sees way to IGFA Royal Trout Slam in record time Trout caught by Australian angler Cynthia Stevens. Fishing for trophies and records is a challenge for any angler, but this month's IGFA Hot Catches update covers one of the most impressive achievements ever.In addition to potential world record carp caught in Japan and South Korea and a tropical gar caught in Costa Rica, the November IGFA report includes the announcement of the fastest Trout Royal Slam ever achieved – and done so by a woman who is legally blind.Click image to check out potential world record submissionsin the IGFA's Hot Catches for November 2013.Australian angler Cynthia Stevens became the IGFA's newest member of the Trout Royal Slam, which she completed in an incredible 15 days – the fastest ever – during a whirlwind trip through North America. Her quest began on Sept. 15 when she caught a brook trout in New Hampshire while fishing with Rick Holloran. Ten days later, and on the other side of the country, Cynthia caught her golden, rainbow, and brown while fishing the San Joaquin and Owens Rivers in California. After only two days of rest, Cynthia then traveled north to Oregon where she caught her lake, bull, and cutthroat over three consecutive days, while fishing Odell Lake, the Cougar Reservoir, and the Williamette River, respectively.Given Cynthia's passion for angling, her extreme determination, and her goal-oriented personality, the IGFA's Royal Slams were a perfect fit. And although Cynthia accomplished her slam in record time, it was anything but easy.Because all IGFA Slam & Trophy Clubs must be caught by IGFA rules, Cynthia made sure she was completely unassisted in all of her seven captures – something she had to reinforce with the helpful guides, all of whom provided testimony to the legitimacy of Cynthia's captures.Enthused and invigorated by her success, Cynthia is planning to tackle more IGFA Royal Slams, explaining that they "allow anglers of all abilities to achieve something extraordinary in their passion of fishing."

Reportedly, Aamir Khan's next flick will hit the wide screen on Christmas one year from now i.e. on 2016. But however, the pre-production unit has been settling on news for its casting choices for some time now.
Tv Artist To Act Opposite Aamir Khan As A Heroine:
The most recent advancement is that TV on-screen character Sakshi Tanwar — best-known for acting the part of Parvati in the hit TV show, Kahaani Ghar Kii — has been settled to play Aamir's wife in the film.
"Sakshi's role in the film will be challenging and only experienced campaigners can do that kind of. More than 70 performing artists were auditioned for the same part. Around 52 of them were from rural communities crosswise over states like Haryana and Punjab. A couple of them had TV experience.
As per the sources, Aamir authorized scenes with all the 70 performing artists when they auditioned for the part. "By and large, no huge star would do that; however Aamir did it, since the thought was to gage their non-verbal communication, comfort level and look. After a considerable measure of trails and meetings to generate new ideas, the on-screen character and the producers then accepted the call to cast Sakshi," includes the producer.
In spite of the fact that before, Sakshi has done a cameo in C K kompany (2008), other than acting in a couple of low budget plan movies, director Nitesh Tiwari's motion picture will stamp her first-class invasion into Bollywood.
"Before she begins shooting, Sakshi needs to experience extreme instructional meetings to get the lingual authority (Haryanvi), and non-verbal communication right. She will likewise take signs from true Haryanvi couples, following the producers need a certain sort of comfort level in the middle of Aamir and her. They assume the roles of a matured couple," says the producer.
A couple of days back, gossipy tidbits were additionally overflowing that Mallika Sherawat, who hails from Haryana, was looking at the same role against Aamir, and supposedly had likewise auditioned for it. While we couldn't reach Aamir for a feedback, the film's representative gave some clues.

Screening Newborns For Disease Can Leave Families In Limbo
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm David Greene. Good morning.
Today, in Your Health, we're taking a closer look at newborn screening. Every time a baby is born in this country, a few drops of blood from a small heel prick are sent to a lab for testing. The idea is to catch health problems that could cause death or disability without early intervention. In recent years, states have started screening for more and more diseases.
NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce reports on mandatory testing for a disease that has no easy diagnosis or treatment.
NELL GREENFIELDBOYCE, BYLINE: For Matthew Wojtesta, it all started about a week after the birth of his daughter Vera. He was picking up his son from kindergarten when he got a phone call.
MATTHEW WOJTESTA: It was our pediatrician who called and said: So, you've been scheduled to go in and meet Dr. Kwon from Neurology. And I said: I have? And he said, yeah.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: The pediatrician explained that Vera had been flagged by New York's newborn screening program as possibly having a serious disease.
WOJTESTA: I said: Well, which one? And he was quite cagey at first.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: The doctor said you'll find out at the appointment. If I tell you now, you'll just panic. But Matthew insisted. Finally, the doctor said: Vera's blood test had shown signs that she might have Krabbe disease, a rare neurological disorder. Matthew went home, where his wife Brianne was napping. She remembers that he gently woke her up.
BRIANNE WOJTESTA: And put his hand on my knee and said, you know, honey, the doctor just called.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: That night, they got on the Internet and read and read. It was terrifying to learn what Krabbe can do to a child.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: To understand how bad this disease can be, meet Jaylah. She lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with her grammy and her pappy. She's almost two years old and has dark brown hair. She's snoozing on a couch in front of a muted TV that's showing cartoons. There's an oxygen tube in her nose, and one just like it in the nose of her stuffed animal.
ANGEL CUSTER: That is her monkey. Her monkey plays music. She sleeps with that. That gets placed in between her arms.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Angel Custer says her granddaughter can't move her arms or legs. She can't sit up or talk. She can't even swallow her own spit. Someone has to suction it out with a tube.
CUSTER: Do some more? No, OK.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Jaylah seemed normal for the first few months of her life. Then she stopped taking her bottle. She started screaming in pain, nonstop.
CUSTER: She stopped smiling. She stopped laughing.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: No one knew she had Krabbe, because Pennsylvania, unlike New York, does not test newborns for this disease. It took months to figure out what was wrong. By then, it was too late for treatment. Jaylah will go deaf and blind, and then die.
CUSTER: I always said, you know, you wouldn't put your dog through that. But we've got to watch our child go through that.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Jaylah's family says no one should suffer like this. That's why they recently brought Jaylah to the state capital, to convince lawmakers that Pennsylvania should follow New York's lead. New York was the first state to screen newborns for Krabbe.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Here in Albany, tiny blood samples are sent through machines.
MICHELE CAGGANA: This is the Krabbe lab.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Michele Caggana is the director of the state's newborn screening program. She says for Krabbe, they check the level of an enzyme. If it's low, they run DNA tests. She says they've been doing this for over seven years.
CAGGANA: As of yesterday: 1,955,754 babies. So almost two million babies have been screened.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Of those two million babies, about 300 have been picked out as possibly having Krabbe. One of them was Vera. After Brianne and Matthew Wojtesta got that phone call and read about children with Krabbe, they couldn't sleep.
WOJTESTA: The scariest part was that they are asymptomatic at the very beginning.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Little Vera looked so healthy. But if she had Krabbe, she would immediately need a risky treatment: chemotherapy to destroy her bone marrow, then a cord blood transplant, probably at Duke University.
WOJTESTA: So we're looking at flying interstate with a brand new baby to try to do a completely radical transfusion.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: The next day's follow-up appointment was at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Neurologist Jennifer Kwon had their lab results. She told them that what was seen in Vera's DNA probably meant she was just a carrier, who did not actually have the disease.
JENNIFER KWON: I didn't think it was going to be a difficult situation at all.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: But Kwon couldn't be sure until she ran more tests. Matthew says they spent an anxious week waiting for the results.
WOJTESTA: We talked a lot. We cried. We read science.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: In the end, the tests showed Vera did not have Krabbe. Kwon says, in this case, she could be reassuring. But for other families, she can't, because the diagnosis isn't simple. This disease doesn't only hit infants. There are forms that don't appear until later in childhood, the teen years or even adulthood. When scientists run tests and find genetic mutations, it's often unclear what they mean. Kwon sometimes has to tell parents, look, we just don't know. Your child may develop some form of Krabbe.
KWON: But I can't tell you when. I can't tell what it's going to look like. I can't tell you if there's any way to prevent it. And I can't tell you that we will be able to treat it if it develops. So that's very difficult for families to hear.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: And how do they react?
KWON: They're often very angry.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: And scared. Now, as they watch their children grow up, they're haunted by the thought of this terrible disease. This has happened to dozens of families. And when the screening program does find unmistakable signs of infant Krabbe, the treatment is problematic. Five infants in New York have been candidates for cord blood transplants. One family refused. Four babies got treatment. Two of them died of complications. One child is severely neurologically impaired. And one child has had problems, but has been able to start kindergarten.
So, here is the stark question posed by Krabbe screening: To try to help a small number of children who will still face an uncertain future, is it worth putting other families in a fearful limbo for years?
Kwon says no.
KWON: No one should be screening for disorders that are this difficult.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: But some doctors do support screening. Maria Escolar is a Krabbe expert at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. She says even if treatment isn't perfect...
MARIA ESCOBAR: You know families develop relationships with their children no matter what degree of disability they have, they treasure each day that they are spending with their children.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: And she says, without screening, babies with Krabbe often go months without a diagnosis. That means the baby doesn't get the right drugs to ease pain, the family is desperate.
ESCOBAR: It is a terrible thing to see, and when you experience that, when you live that, that's when you realize how important newborn screening is.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: The small group of families who have lived that are the driving force behind an expansion of Krabbe screening. Missouri started last year, New Jersey and Illinois will start next year, and New Mexico has decided to do it too. The reason New York started this controversial program was because of a family -the family of Jim Kelly, a former Buffalo Bills quarterback who's in the NFL Hall of Fame. His son had Krabbe. A foundation named after him, called Hunter's Hope, wants testing in every state, even though an expert committee that advises the federal government looked at New York's results and did not recommend that.
Vera's parents, Brianne and Matthew Wojtesta, say they don't know if mandated screening is the right way to go. They personally were glad for the testing, even though Brianne also says it was traumatic, and the fear lingers.
WOJTESTA: What part of this disease do we not know, what part of the genetic composition do we not know, what about the late onset? Irrationally, I know, it still hangs over me. It's still scary.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: She says the experience has changed her. And it will forever be a part of her relationship with her daughter.
