My Favourite Gifts and Purchases of Christmas 2013

Happy New Year Readers!

I hope you all had a lovely New Year.

So I happened to have gone to Westfield's Stratford City, London on the look out to find some Chelsea Boots, reason behind this is because my suede ones from ASOS that I love are falling apart and I wanted to get some leather ones so I could also use them for School shoes, that's my excuse for purchasing them, I know what you thinking, Yes that's a very good excuse. After searching in almost every store I finally found a pair that I loved, obviously my favourite brand, Dr Martens which I purchased at the Dr Marten Store, even though they come at a price of £110, the quality of them and the style I preferred over any of the others I saw the whole day.

One of my favourite Christmas presents was given to me by my Dad and which was a complete shock/suprise to me. I think Mum might of had a little bit of an input into the purchase of these, but I have wanted a pair of these for a couple of months and was never sure of how much I wanted them, but I asked for them for Christmas and am so glad I did, they're called Nike Roshe Run and they are probably the most comfortable shoes I have possibly ever owned or worn, and wish I got them soon!

Another gift I was given to by my Mum was aftershave, and I was surprised by the choice she made as I had never heard, seen or smelt it which is risky with me as I am a little fussy with the smell of my aftershaves, but this one is called Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger which smells to me like ocean meets a sweet Yankee candle, rubbish description I know but I didn't realise how hard it is to write a scent into words. But overall I love the smell and will probably purchase this again. (PS. I realised I didn't photograph the bottle, sorry.)

Hope you enjoyed this post, I know it's a little rusty but I am trying my best to get back into the swing of it all!

Snow Control

Snow and Ice Control

The Borough of Denver has an area of approximately 1.1 square miles inside the Borough limits and approximately 15 miles of streets. It is the Borough’s intention to meet the needs of our residents and travelers by providing safe street conditions during snowstorm events. The primary goal is to provide the best service possible in the most efficient manner at the lowest cost to the taxpayers.

Snow Plowing

The Borough’s Public Works Department provides winter maintenance and snow removal services to all Borough and State roads in Denver.  Streets will be plowed when the snow accumulates to two (2) inches or more and the snow continues to fall.  Snow emergency routes and major arteries will be cleared first.  Streets feeding the main arteries will be cleared second, with all other streets third, and Cul-De-Sacs and alleys cleared last. Please click on the following for the Borough’s Public Works Snow and Ice Control Plan.

Property owners are required to remove and clear away or cause to be removed and cleared away snow and/or ice for a path of at least 30 inches from your sidewalk within 24-hours after the finishing of any snow, sleet, or freezing rain event.  Also, it is unlawful to deposit snow and/or ice on or immediate next to a fire hydrant or on any Borough public street or highway. If there is a fire hydrant on your property, please remove the snow piled around the fire hydrant.  This will assist the Fire Company in case of an emergency.

Please note, if you encounter a sidewalk that is not cleared of snow and ice as per the guidelines of the ordinance, please contact the Municipal Building at 336-2831 to report that property.  When calling, please provide the address and street name of the property.

Also, if you see a snow emergency on the Borough streets, please report this problem to Municipal Building. Borough staff will forward the list of hazardous areas to the Public Works Department for immediate attention.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in helping a senior citizen or disabled resident clear his or her sidewalk or driveway, please contact the Municipal Building and leave your name and telephone number.  The Borough staff will forward that information to any senior citizen or disabled person who contacts the Municipal Building seeking assistance.

The Revolution of the Workspace – BuzziSpace

Owing to the Generation Y – the fastest growing segment of today’s workforce – the workplace is undergoing a true revolution. The Belgian brand BuzziSpace heralds this niche and has just presented its 5 office revolutions at Orgatec in Cologne, while its products are already omnipresent at IT giants such as Facebook and Google.

Is the workplace finally stepping over to the same side as, not the “workforce” or “employees,” but the people? It seems that Generation Y (born sometime between 1979 and 1997) is the rising force that will change the conventional notion of work, which, despite the lack of gratification received from it, no felt empowered to tackle until now.

Designed by Alain Gilles, BuzziBooth Targa is a addition to the family of BuzziBooth. It allows you to work together and alone, be a team worker, but on your own. It is suitable for offices and hotel lobbies, airports and train stations, or simply your home office. Photo: BuzziSpace.

Comfy workplaces

In this age led by knowledge and networking on digital platforms, Generation Y has coalesced with technology, performing more effectively and adapting faster than previous generations. Though workaholics, their life and work fused firmly together, they choose meaningful jobs with challenges regarding high pay, transparent and creative workspaces with flexible work schedules and valuing their social lives enriched with a handful of activities.

BUZZIHUB - design: Alain Gilles. Photo: Studio BOA for 2TEC2.

“A note to their bosses: they will question your authority and walk out if you ignore their needs, their loyalty and their excellent performance! In fact, they are your future bosses.”

As Work becomes one with Life, the office requires all the elements of home – comfort, sources of inspiration, support for transparency, flexibility, and collaboration – but at the same time must fulfil the role of a “cocoon of privacy,” where people can relax, sheltered from the hum of the surrounding environment.

BuzziMe - designer Axel Enthoven came up with a well-thought-out look that perfectly combines functionality and ergonomics for the situation when the going gets tough at work and all you want to do is be on your own and enjoy some peace and quiet. The acoustic insulation of the lounge chair reduces sounds from the outside and viceversa. In a nutshell, this is the perfect chair for lobbies, airports and offices – or even at home, as your very own cocoon of peace.

Because positive acoustics have a direct effect on our concentration, performance and health, we can therefore achieve the most without being annoyed by countless distracters, either from our colleagues or the sterile interiors.

BuzziWings – the design duo Couvreur & Devos created these inventive ceiling accessories to divide large spaces both acoustically and optically. The result is a unique modularity but also subtle lighting thanks to their integrated, indirect light sources. Photo: BuzziSpace.

This trend has been the highlight of the Orgatec 2012 in Cologne, which is in line with shifting toward user-driven innovation as the newest paradigm of the recent years.

BuzziWings can be attached to your ceiling at a 90-degree angle to modulate light and sound to your tastes and preferences. Photo: BuzziSpace.

BuzziSpace covers every Work Situation

BuzziSpace is a relatively young brand based in Belgium that has been responding to the growing trend by taking into account the well being of the people and thus developing innovative acoustic solutions for professional workspaces and home offices.

Alain Gilles also designed BuzziGrid that mainly works as a sound buffer above any meeting table or desk. Here the DIY aspect is very important: the panels can easily be locked into each other to create a unique Grid, which is, of course, more than merely decorative.

The designers Alain Gilles, Axel Enthoven, Sas Adriaenssens and Couvreur & Devos have defined BuzziSpace’s authentic product line so far, while the products are being crafted using recycled PET bottles.

Review: "The count of Monte Christo" as a manga

I remember reading the story as a child in the comic book Donald Duck but not as a comic but as a adaptation summarizing it by three pages each week. I was wondering if I had read the original novel as well. Probably. I do remember seeing a movie. So I knew the story.

The fun for me in reading this adaptation was that it was the first manga I ever read and very much liked the way the creative team explained how to read a mango but even better told about their decisions in adapting a classic novel to a Japanese style of comic book. How she scanned society pages looking for a man who could be the inspiration to the count and such.

Manga is not my favourite style of comic book though. The way people are pictured is too childish for my taste. But for an experiment I really liked this well researched and imagined version of the classical tale. It is also a great way of introducing literature to people who will not be enthusiastic about the more old fashioned, many pages original. And remember I was introduced to this great story by a comic book too.

A four stars out of 5

Super fun concert in Brno. The grand plan was an outdoor concert in a field in a forest. Sort of a rave.

Organized by an extraordinary individual who on Facebook goes by the name Snediggen Snurssla. Thank you!

Information for Students

Information for Students Undertaking an Envision Based PhD Project

Envision brings together a powerful group of UK researchers with industry and NGO partners to provide a new generation of environmental scientists with the skills, knowledge and experience they need to take on the challenges of a changing world.

Funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Lancaster University is leading the initiative which brings together the Universities of Nottingham and Bangor, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the British Geological Survey and Rothamsted Research. The initiative also involves large multinationals, SMEs and international research centres.

Students will benefit from: broad research themes, access to leading world experts, close ties with business, relevant work experience and leadership training. Envision will recruit 16 PhD students per year over the course of five years.

The Envision DTP provides students with:

  • A world-class multidisciplinary research training environment that includes supervisors working at the cutting-edge and world-class research platforms, which will deliver excellent scientific and transferable skills training using a multidisciplinary cohort development programme that develops professional and leadership skills.
  • Broad research themes with access to a critical mass of established researchers across a broad, but coherent, range of disciplines with a track record of research and postgraduate excellence.
  • Close ties with business and Research Institutes through our CASE partners, core and co-located Research Institute partners and co-located businesses and embedded teams of KE professionals within the Lancaster Environment Centre and the North Wales Marine/Coastal Science Group Maritime Cluster, Bangor.
  • The opportunity to gain employment experience either though an industrial placement, a CASE project or through working in one of the three Research Institutes.
  • Multiple research organisations that complement each other and offer the potential for new science and collaborations, exposing students to different research cultures, a wide variety of supervisors, a depth of research excellence and training resources (including facilities and equipment) and a wider cohort of peers.

As a student undertaking an Envision based PhD project, there are a number of additional administrative requirements that you will need to be aware of. An induction session at the start of Michaelmas term will cover these.

Types of Engagement

Collaborative CASE studentships

CASE studentships are when a student works collaboratively with an external organisation. It is expected that students will spend between three and 18 months with the partner and the student receives additional funds to be added to their RTSG.

Research, policy and industrial placements

To enhance their employability all Envision students will be offered the possibility of an internship to acquire career-enhancing skills. Placements will vary in nature, from working in a large industry research laboratory, with a small charity, or a policy placement. There will be flexibility in terms of when, and how (e.g. a block or one day per week) students will carry out their placement or internship.

International Internships

Our international partners the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), The Centre for Tropical Agriculture Research and Education (CATIE), International Centre for Agro-forestry Research (ICRAF) and UoN’s international campuses will provide an opportunity for our students to carry out their placement in an overseas research centre, allowing them to experience research in another culture and helping them to develop international linkages.

The partnership will also deliver placements within businesses outside the UK by using existing programmes, in particular the INTERREG IVB funded KARIM network (LU) which facilitates international internships with SMEs across NW Europe.

The Connection Addiction - Are You Immune?

My husband took me out to eat recently. We went to LongHorn Steakhouse and I must say that we had the best steaks we've had since our honeymoon eight years ago in Las Vegas. You wouldn't often describe meat from a cow as luscious, but this meat, well, it practically melted in your mouth. I even told the waiter and managed not to drool when saying it. But eating cow is not what this post is about. It's about communication.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we realized we were in for a wait, a very long wait, a one-hour-wait-to-seat-two-people kind of wait. We sat on the little waiting area bench and talked to each other. My husband had to use the bathroom facilities and so I filled my time with one of my favorite activities, human observation. Almost every person who entered the restaurant took their little "your table is ready" notification apparatus, which looks alarmingly like some sort of Taser device, by the way, found a place to park themselves either sitting or standing and promptly pulled out their phone to do whatever. Some already had their phones in their hand when they came through the door.

Now, being the human observer that I am, I took note of the dynamic the phone played in various situations around me. People who were waiting by themselves, I could understand. There is a need to "do" something while you wait. Me, I am still a connoisseur of the fine art of vegging, i.e. being in a vegetative state, or quite the opposite of "do" which is to do nothing and just be still. I have always said that patience is a virtue and this is part of it.

The woman beside me, I noticed, was on Facebook. Not that I was snooping, I just happened to glance and see that familiar blue and white I know so well. Of the group of four beside her, three had their phones out and were excitedly exchanging information. I overheard one woman say to the other, "Now you've done it. He has your number. Who knows what you'll get from him now!" Across the entryway, several sat on the opposite bench, poking at their phones. I wondered if they too were on Facebook or if they were texting or perhaps playing Angry Birds while looking important and busy. A young man waiting alone used his phone to serve as his Walkman, ear buds intact. Old fogies, you know what that is, the Walkman. Go ahead, date yourself right a long with me. Younger generation, you would know it as the archaic version of the iPod. A young boy played a loud game on his phone, or perhaps the phone belonged to one of his parental units, these days it's hard to tell. We get our kids phones at stupid ages. By we, I mean you, of course.

Then there was the couple who came in, looking quite ritzy and well-off. A husband and wife, I'll presume, who immediately pulled out their respective communication devices and ignored each other completely. Maybe they were talking to each other on their devices, who the heck knows? It made me feel bad for them. Can't they talk to each other? Do they hate each other? Are they so bored with one another that they are forced to shift their focus to avoid divorce? I remembered the days of beepers. Remember? The only time you were ever interrupted when out in public was if you really were important and you had a beeper. Respect, man, now that was respect. You were a doctor or a chief of police or some highly regarded profession. "Excuse me, I have to take/make this call," meant it was really important. Someone was dying, being born, or on fire. Nowadays, that same person might be interrupted with an "LOL!" Sheesh.

Even when seated at our table, I observed people using their phones while conversing with their table companions. Personally, I find this very rude if it is done consistently. I am here, pay attention to ME! Is it a status symbol, something to make a person appear prestigious? People like to feel needed, possibly even need to feel needed, some acutely more than others. I realize this. However, I believe we are in the midst of a connection or communication addiction epidemic. Some people just cannot ignore a text or go without being "connected" for even an hour. It's a sickness, really.

If I were an alien from another planet and I observed this behavior, I think my report would go something like this:

I observed the human race on the planet of Earth today. It appears they all need some sort of life support, battery pack, or energy device to keep them alive. Only the very young and old of the species seem to survive without the device, plus a few select others who seem to be immune to the need for this life-giving technology. Many of the subjects observed were required to pull the machine out and touch it with a finger hundreds of times before being able to put it back in its storage facility, a "pocket" or "purse". These devices beeped and chimed when the user needed a recharge and the user was required to pull out the device and touch it, presumably to continue life-force. Some were even required to put it up to the ear. We assume this was for people with advanced disease who needed an opening close to the brain for direct penetration of this energy. We were not able to determine what would happen if the prompts were ignored. We suspect that they would fall over in a slump and possibly die altogether. However, the beeps and chimes are never ignored. Therefore, we may never know.

As I pondered this at the table at LongHorn, I pulled a pen and piece of paper out of my purse and began to jot down notes for this blog posting. My husband said, "Look at you, old school with your pen and paper," and I thought to myself that yes, it would be nice to have one of those smart phones that I could take the notes on or an iPad and one of those cool roll-out wireless keyboards and then I could just whip it out and type these notes so much faster, right there at the table! And then I realized in horror that would make me "one of them". As usual, I made myself giggle just a little.

  1. I would be right there with you veggin'! People need to put the phone down and connect with the people they're Spending time with.

  2. Cindy. What a thoughtful post. The alien reaction you describe - it's almost like a horror story, but how true. I have to admit: I'm still resisting this fad. I don't have a cell phone or any other portable device, but I'm not very young, alas. I do check my email several times a day though. My mom is 78, and sometimes we wonder together: how did people live without the internet or emails before? They did, really...

  3. Love this - I don't have texting or internet access on my phone - I guess we could call it a "dumb phone".

    I also hate how we no longer talk to the cashiers at the stores. We pick up a little stylus and use it to respond to questions on a little screen while the cashier looks on. I find this strange. What a disconnected connected society we are.

  4. I have thought the same thing SO many times lately! I'm noticing it more and more with kids, too-my son immediately asks for my phone to play games on while he waits for anything. Sometimes I comply, but sometimes I just make him talk to me :) And I'm old school, too-I keep a pad of paper for blogging ideas in my purse, too! visiting from shewrites

  5. Kierie,

    What and wonderful and funny writer you are! I look forward to reading more of your posts. I love the "alien report"! Hilarious! But I just love your whole piece. Clearly you are a trenchant and witty people (and life) observer. Of course, everything you say here is spot-on. There needs to be a national holiday in which everyone is forced to abandon his/her electronic devices for 24 hours. Would probably kill some people, just as the aliens noted.

    Thanks for this--Janis

  6. So sorry, Cindy, to call you "Kierie"! Was looking at the name on the first comment, I guess! What a space cadet!

  7. No worries, Janis. It was probably the aliens, LOL!

Students give thanks for America and Sullivan High

Melak Alhajmani, 16, (far left) a junior from Iraq, smiles at Oyinea Alonge, 17, from Nigeria, while students give thanks during Sullivan High School’s third Thanksgiving celebration.

     Before tucking into dinner at Sullivan High School’s Thanksgiving celebration last week, Sarah Quintenz, leader of the Rogers Park school’s International Academy, asked the 180 participants — students, teachers, alumni, guests from the community — to stand, hold hands, and give thanks.
     She started us off in English.
     ”For food, for raiment, for life, for opportunity, for friendship and fellowship, we thank thee O Lord,” said Quintenz. “Bless the cook and bless the dishwasher.”
     That drew a chuckle from the kids, whom she then asked to give thanks, each in their own native language.
Chance Uwera, 16, left, and Josiane Irafasha, 19,
    ”Iman ihey umah dishey ... ” Chance Uwera, 16 began at our table. Next was Josiane Irafasha, 19, both speaking in Kinyarwanda, one of four official languages of Rwanda.
     ”Thanks, for having a life,” translated Uwera. “God bless everyone who’s here and in the whole world.”
     A world well-represented among the 650 students attending Sullivan, long a magnet for immigrants.
     ”Sullivan’s probably one of the most diverse schools in the city of Chicago,” said principal Chad Thomas. “We have kids from all over the world — over 40 languages spoken here.”
     In 2017, partly in reaction to growing anti-immigrant rhetoric in the United States, Sullivan decided to hold a school Thanksgiving. Among those celebrating their first Thanksgiving dinner last week was Shahin Keliby, who thanked her parents and “the American government.”
     ”They allowed us in and we are here,” said the senior, 18, a Muslim from Burma. “Three years and two months.”
     The event, organized by the Friends of Sullivan, reflects the diverse face of our country’s future.

Shahin Keliby, came to the United States from Burma "three years and two months" ago.

  1. Lovely. This embodies the true spirit of the holiday. Thanks!

  2. The United States is changing: there's no doubt about that. About now it seems like for every step forward we take 2 steps back. But like a sports team hopelessly behind in the score, we can and should celebrate our last minute touchdowns and 9th inning home runs. Hip hip hooray for Sullivan High School!

Harry S. Truman: Kansas City's Fascination with the Legacy Continues

When Harry S. Truman decided not to run again for president in 1952, he said he'd had all he wanted of Washington and returned to his hometown of Independence, Missouri. Washington had probably had enough of Truman, too. His approval rating at the time was the lowest of any president in the 20th century -- even lower than Nixon's.

To the people of Independence, however, approval ratings meant nothing and they gathered by the thousands to welcome Truman home. And, although more than four decades have passed since his presidency, Kansas City is still wild about Harry, as evident in the impressive structures, historical sites, and artistic undertakings that bear his name.

The Harry S. Truman Library completed the first phase of a $10-million museum renovation in December 1995. The Truman Farm Home in Grandview, Missouri, once farmed by Truman himself, recently joined the Truman Home in Independence as part of the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site and opened to visitors in the spring of 1996. Independence residents celebrate "Truman Week" each year and present awards in his name.

In addition, "Truman," an HBO film which debuted in late 1995, chronicled the man, his achievements and his involvement with important leaders, including corrupt Kansas City political boss Tom Pendergast. The movie was shot in the Kansas City area and gave several area actors the chance to rub shoulders with Gary "Truman" Sinise.

"He had the perception of being a man of honesty and integrity and he spoke his mind," said Sam Rushay, an archivist at the Truman Library who has seen an increase in the number of scholars using the library to study Truman. "He was clearly a leader."

A trip to historic Independence, just minutes from the heart of Kansas City, offers insight into the life of, as one historian deemed him, "a most uncommon common man."

The Truman Library Although born in 1884 in Lamar, Missouri, Truman always claimed Independence as his own. His family moved to the hospitable town when he was 6. He graduated from Independence High School and headed for Kansas City where he worked as a bookkeeper. In 1906, at the request of his father, he went to work on his grandparents' farm located 20 miles south of Independence in Grandview. Now operated by the National Park Service, the Farm Home was where Truman spent nearly all of his waking hours for 11 years, farming the 600 acres of land.

Today, the Truman Farm consists of a second farm house (the original burned to the ground in 1893); a reconstructed smokehouse; the Grandview post office-turned-garage (Truman moved it to the farm to store his 1911 Stafford automobile); a restored box wagon once used on the farm; and several stone fence posts marking the original boundaries of the farm, plus other original and reconstructed buildings.

Working the family farm played a big part in defining Truman's character. Riding the plow day after day gave him "time to think," and, later, opportunities to influence politics as he was widely respected among area farmers. It was also as a farmer that Truman was reacquainted with Bess Wallace, a woman he had known since his Sunday school days. Their romance began when he volunteered to return a cake plate to the Wallace home at 219 North Delaware Street. Bess answered the door and a nine-year courtship ensued.

By early 1917 the couple was engaged, but Truman was soon off to war. His leadership abilities were tested as commander of Battery D, which Truman, according to one historian, called a "spirited group of Irishmen and German Catholics" from Kansas City. The members of Battery D later affectionately referred to him as "Captain Harry."

Upon his return to Independence in May 1919, Truman married Bess and they soon after moved into 219 North Delaware (another important part of the Truman National Historic Site), sharing the home with Bess' grandmother and mother. The stately Victorian home had gas fixtures and running water, and was considered a "mansion" by the standards of the time. Five years later, Margaret, the Trumans' only child, was born upstairs.

In 1922, one in a series of business ventures gone bad afforded Truman his break into politics. Known as a stylish dresser, Truman and a war buddy ran a haberdashery in Kansas City until postwar depression drove them out of business. It was about this time that Truman hooked up with Pendergast, the man running Jackson County politics. Pendergast and company called on Truman to run for Jackson County judge because of his good reputation. He received the Democratic nomination and took the oath in 1923. He lost re-election in 1924, but was again elected county judge in 1926.

While Pendergast was known for his "strong-arm" techniques and corruption, Truman realized the only way to work for the people of Jackson County was to work with the Pendergast machine. So, while his two fellow judges would shoot craps during court, Truman, according to one historian, would introduce legislation for Jackson County.

Truman's association with Pendergast, however, made him out to be a tool of the machine in the eyes of many.

"He was very conscious of that," Rushay said. "It was baggage he carried with him. He always tried to retain his independence and integrity and I think he did. Pendergast didn't pressure Truman into corruption. Truman gave the machine the appearance of uprightness and honesty."

Truman went on to the US Senate in 1935 and the vice presidency in 1944. He returned to Kansas City for Pendergast's funeral in 1945. Pendergast had served jail time for tax evasion and Truman was widely criticized for attending the services, but Truman simply contended Pendergast had been a friend.

Truman's political career climaxed when he took the presidential oath upon Franklin D. Roosevelt's death in April 1945. As the 33rd president of the United States, Truman endured many challenges, not the least of which was ending WWII. His decision to drop the atomic bomb helped shape postwar nuclear policy. He also is responsible for the creation of NATO, the National Security Council, and the CIA.

"All of these legacies are Truman's," Rushay said. "Truman represented an important time in American history. Anyone interested in the current state of the country really has to look to the Truman administration. America today was shaped by the institutions created and the decisions made by President Truman."

But even while he worked in Washington, Truman never forgot his roots. His heart never left Independence and he longed to return home to friends and family. (He referred to the White House as the "Great White Jail.") Truman's visits to 219 North Delaware became less frequent when he took office, yet the home became known as the "Summer White House." It was from the home, however, that President Truman gave a radio address on the night before the 1948 election, and it was there that he was informed of North Korea's invasion of South Korea in June 1950.

Truman Home Ironically, while the Trumans always considered the "Summer White House" their real home (Truman wrote to Bess in 1913, "It seems like a hollow week if I don't arrive at 219 North Delaware at least one day in it."), they didn't actually own the home until they returned to Independence in 1953 and bought it from Bess' mother's estate. Today, it houses many invaluable family heirlooms: portraits of Truman, Bess and Margaret; Margaret's baby grand piano; Truman's expansive book collection; and Truman's own coat and hat, perched on a rack near the door.

Delaware Street also was home to relatives of the Trumans. The Wallace Family Compound includes two homes, built on lots behind the Truman home, once occupied by two of Bess' brothers and their families. Truman's cousins Nellie and Ethel Noland lived at 216 North Delaware, just across the street. These homes also are part of the Truman National Historic Site.

After leaving office, Truman returned to Independence and sought the anonymity of civilian life. His fans, however, constantly approached him for autographs and pictures. Truman always obliged.

In retirement, Truman devoted much of his time to establishing the presidential library, just minutes from his home. The Harry S. Truman Library, formally dedicated in 1957, was built entirely with private funds. It is operated by the National Archives and Records Administration.

With the purpose of preserving Truman's presidential papers and materials, the library has a collection of more than 14 million pages of manuscript material, 94,000 photographs, 63 miles of motion picture film, 700 hours of audio recordings, and more than 25,000 museum objects. Some of the library's audio and motion picture materials were used in the "Truman" movie.

The Truman Library The highlight of the museum is the replica of the Oval Office. Careful effort was taken to recreate detail, right down to the flooring, wall color and texture, room furnishings, hidden doors, and the addition of a Dumont Essex television set (Truman was the first president to have a television in the White House). While not a completely accurate replica (the height is full scale, but the length and width are about seven-eighths scale), it was good enough for Truman, who called it "an exact copy." Truman's voice, recorded in 1963 and revised in 1964, welcomes visitors into the re-created Oval Office.

The focal point of another display area is a wooden sign with the boldly painted phrase, "The Buck Stops Here." This original artifact, a gift to Truman, sat on his desk in the Oval Office and served as a symbol of the accountability of his presidency.

In the Courtyard outside the library, Truman and Bess are buried side by side. The simple inscription on his ledger is indicative of the humble life he led even while holding the country's highest office.

13 Of The Most Wonderful Photos Of Our Marvelous World

Image Source: Flickr

The world is an amazing place and there are things that can take your breath away. Exploring our planet is probably one of the best things anyone could do in their lifetime and we strongly advise everyone to travel as much as possible. This is the best way for a person to spend their money. Possessions are one way to keep you happy, but the experience you get from travelling is like no other! You can take a lot of breathtaking photos while travelling and sharing them with your friends will make you relive the good moments once again. Of course, you can simply choose to take photos of simple objects and situations and prove that there is beauty everywhere around us and we need to pay more attention! The list you are about to see will surely inspire you to pack your bags and go somewhere you have never been before or it can be the spark you need to grab your camera and create some stunning shots!

1. Here is a photo which is extremely hard to capture

Image Source: Instagram

We guess that most people love the sea and they enjoy roaming the endless beaches every summer. This is the kind of experience that is always loaded with lots positive vibes and we are certain most relationships start in the summer because of the good mood everyone is in. The summer magic is overwhelming but the beauty of the sea and the beach is also worth mentioning. There are magical beaches all around the world and sometimes just standing on one and admiring the beauty is enough to make you feel as happy as possible. This amazing photo was taken at the perfect moment and it really makes us dream about next summer.

2. Now this is a photo which you have surely never seen before

Image Source: Reddit

This amazing photo blew our minds when we saw it. It is like nothing we have ever seen before. You might think that it is one of those fancy hand-carved candles, but it is not. This is actually a chunk of multiple layers of paint found at an abandoned car factory in Detroit. The chunk was carved and polished from one side and an amazing effect was achieved. It looks like a work of art and we would really like to own one. We guess that such impressive pieces are probably not easy to make of find.

3. This is another marvelous photo that is almost impossible to replicate

Image Source: Reddit

We have seen a lot of amazing photos before but some can really stand out from the rest! This image is definitely one of a kind and we cannot believe that someone was able to capture it with such quality! The tiny seahorse seems to be really intrigued by this diver’s watch. The beautiful sea creature seems to notice its reflection and that makes the image even more curious. The person who took the photo absolutely nailed the perfect shot and such a photo will be extremely hard to replicate. Underwater photography is always intriguing because it is a whole new world down there and it is nice to see parts of it that we have never seen before.

4. This gorgeous photo shows something really simple

Image Source: Facebook

Some of the most beautiful photos you see are actually showing relatively ordinary objects. The trick is to take the photo in a way which creates a surreal feel to the object. The angle, the composition, the light and the effects are equally important when it comes to creating a mesmerizing image. The one you see here is the best possible example! The beautiful photo looks stunning and it sparks the imagination but it is actually an ordinary object. If you find it hard to guess, we will tell you what it is. What you see are the pages of a book! It is that simple!

5. Here is a colorful explosion like no other

Image Source: Inhabitat

This beautiful photo is probably the most colorful image we have seen in a while! It is really warm and the warp it creates is awesome. It is similar to the photo above, because it actually shows something simple. Those scattered items are kayaks! Yes, real full-sized kayaks. There must be thousands of them in the photo and this speaks of the massive scale of the place it was taken. Maybe they are waiting their turn to be scrapped or recycled in some way.

6. This beautiful image is simple and beautiful

Image Source: Instagram

The image you see here is a nice example that a random and really simple shot can be beautiful! As you can see, it was taken at a shoemaker’s shop and all it shows is a stack of shoes waiting for their soles. This does not change the fact that it is a stunning photo because it brings a certain mood! The atmosphere it creates is amazing and you could almost smell the leather and the typical scent of the glue used for shoemaking.

7. Here is one shot that requires risking your life

Image Source: Pinterest

Sometimes taking the perfect shot requires a lot of work and patience. Photographers spend days in the wild and countless hours climbing mountain tops or hiding from the elements. Some of them take things to the extreme and put their lives at risk in the name of taking the perfect photo! As you can see, the danger is absolutely real and it is questionable whether it is worth it or not. The beauty of such tornado photos is something like no other and it is probably worth it after all

8. You have probably never seen a tree like that

Image Source: Me Me

This is one really powerful photo! It kind of speaks for itself and we think that it is stunning. Seeing that tree makes us think that nothing is impossible! This is the message it brings and we could not agree more. It is clear to see that the tree survived years of severe erosion and still stands tall! Many people could relate to it because it shows that no matter the circumstances or the struggle you experience, you could still stand your ground and endure! Everything will change soon or later and you need to stand tall!

9. Here is another simple object that was captured in a beautiful way

Image Source: Reddit

This is an image that looks intriguing but the object in it is more than simple. In fact, we all have it in our wardrobes. Yes, this is a close shot of a piece of denim clothing. The fibers of the fabric are clearly visible and the simplicity of the image is what makes it special. It might appear to be an easy shot to take, but it is actually a tricky one. It takes a lot of skill to make something difficult look easy.

10. This image features something curious

Image Source: Reddit

The clever way this image was taken leaves room for all kinds of interpretations! Every person’s imagination works in a different way and that means that everyone would assume a different thing if asked what was actually in the photo. It looks like a massive rope is attached to a dock, but it is something much smaller than that. The photo actually shows the tuning keys on a guitar head! The close-up shot is really beautiful!

11. Here is a log pile like no other

Image Source: Instagram

Sometimes photographers experiment with different techniques in order to create the perfect image. One way to do is to play with the scale of the objects featured. When someone sees the impressive scale of the objects or events photographed, they are often left stunned which is the purpose of the whole thing after all. This massive log pile would not be as impressive as it is now if that person was not in the photo. We love images like this one!

12. Here is another proof that simplicity is all you need to create beauty

Image Source: Facebook

This image is probably the best example that every simple object can be photographed in a way that can astound everyone. The stunning image features only the head of a matchstick! Similarly to some of the photos above, it takes a lot of skill and patience in order to create an image like that. As you can see, the zoom is incredible and it provides a whole new different outlook on matches.

13. This is what it means to take things to the extreme

Image Source: Pinterest

We have never been huge fans of any extreme sport, but we definitely love seeing people doing crazy stuff with the sole intention to boost their adrenaline. However, as much as we are used to seeing such examples, we need to admit that there are still photos that can make us shiver! This is one of those images! The ridiculous place this person is standing as is unbelievable. It looks as if there is no escape and that makes the photo so cool!

I Am Finally Moving Today!

It is finally Moving Day! And above is a very sneak peek of a piece of the living room as the sun was going down a bit…!

I am telling you, if I actually ran the marathon I trained for a few years ago I would be less tired already. But it is a good kind of tired— the kind where you know at the end of a day your whole life will change 😉

decor vignette

My dear Alexis Hyde helped me unwind a few boxes of stuff I haven’t seen for 15 years… since I left my very 70’s home… and I am geeking out over all the elephants, gold horses, hunks of coral cut crystal and wildly opulent golden things that will be sprouting up all over the place!

And, Alexis made me homemade potpourri: dried local rose petals gathered from unravelling roses, sun dried with ranculus and perfumed with artisan fragrance. It is massively inspiring!

And… my first painting ever, made at age 10 or 11, made its way back to my walls today!

Needless to say, my present home is still not completely packed, movers are on the way, and I have the fur babies to make my first priority.  Even when you do everything well in advance, there are always last-minute things you never thought of before… so give yourself some extra supplies or extra tie when making a big move!

This should be a fun Thursday!

I have no Internet until Friday… so if you want some good juju for the day you have a few hundred pages to scroll through… First time I’ll be offline for a full day for over a year, and it feels good.

Idea for the week: find an heirloom, or something that is unique and thorougly reminds you of your best childhood memories, and spotlight it in your home… !

See you all Friday when the rugs and curtains get found…and the new feng shui begins!  xoxoxo Dana

I think it is a very impressive piece for a 10 year old, I certainly wasn’t able to paint anything like that then! Or even now! Lol. (not to be negative, I know you’re doing that art course on FB, but I did not join).

That fireplace and the natural light!! LOVE! 🙂

Jeanne May 4, 2014 at 7:31 pm

Your home is gorgeous!!!! The fireplace is just stunning and the light that passes though that window is amazing! I am sure you have big plans for those windows!!! Hopefully you will share your personal “feng shui” on your blog. I am sure from all your posts you have some sort of personal look-book with ideas. Like Tami said, your artwork (at at 10 or 11!!!) is fantastic and your artistic persona is a natural, God-given talent 🙂 Best of luck with you new place! I hope the move went well 🙂

oh thank you so much Jeanne!!! Its going to be exciting in a few weeks to do a full house tour… & yes, I will post my feng shui too! off to keep unloaded boxes and cleaning up! I will be sharing lots of projects in the coming weeks… this is certainly a bit more work than I anticipated, but worth it! 😉

Parenthood: TV Drama or Reality TV?

When I heard there was a new TV drama starting up called "Parenthood" all I really thought was "oh, cool, Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls is back on TV, I'll have to check it out!". I actually managed to catch the first episode (total fluke) and as the plot was laid out, it became apparent that one of the story lines was going to be about a family "coming to grips" (see me doing air quotes with my fingers sarcastically) with their son being diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. I was tempted to turn it off and never watch it again, my feeling being that I ride this Autism roller coaster every damn day and I don't need to watch it during my time to relax. But the siren song of Lauren Graham lured me in (and the ever sexy Peter Krause) so I decided to give it a few shows before I made the call.

Funny enough, the character with Asperger Syndrome is named Max. Go figure. I've been asked if I see any similarities between what is being portrayed on the show and my personal experience. Our Max was diagnosed with Autism at 32 months old, so we are really living a different reality. The Max on the show is quite high functioning whereas we really have no idea where our Max will end up on the spectrum. I certainly have high hopes for my little guy, but only time will tell. What did hit home is how overwhelming it is when you first start out. Everyone has advice, well meaning parents tell you what you should do, what doctor you should see, have you tried this diet or this B12 shot? Read this book? Seen that documentary? You are bombarded from all directions and you haven't even asked for help yet. It's completely nuts and when I look back on the last year and a half I wonder how I managed to stay out of the funny farm (I'm guessing it was full and my family just didn't have the heart to tell me).

I remember someone emailing me the "Welcome to Holland" poem, thinking it would help me get perspective on having a child with special needs. After I read the poem, all I could think was "Fuck Holland, them and their wooden shoes". I still feel that way today, especially now that I have a neurotypical child. Raising a child with Autism sucks. It really does. It is heartbreaking and painful, it eats away at you and breaks you down. It tests every single one of your relationships to the fullest extent possible - be it your spouse, your best friend, parents, siblings, employer, whatever - nothing is left untouched. I've had some people suggest to me that I love Max just the way he is and that they are sure I wouldn't change him for the world. That's complete bullshit. Yes, I do love him the way he is, but if I could wave a magic wand and make him not Autistic I would do it in a hot second. Life is hard for us as Max's parents, but it is way harder for Max. I wish more than anyone can understand that I could lift this blanket of Autism off of my little boy and let his full sunshine light the world.

Back to the show though - because that's where we started. I like it, and I'll keep watching. Not for Lauren Graham or sexy Peter Krause, but for Max's mom "Kristina". I see a lot of my experience in her. She feels woefully inadequate on all fronts, can't seem to make anyone happy, and has lost her identity somewhere in the shuffle. She's doing her best to keep her head above water and keep on keepin' on. I feel for her, and I'm rooting for her. Telling her it will get better, hoping for myself that it gets better too. Next time you watch this show and you get to turn it off after the hour is up, remember that for a lot of families, this isn't a TV Drama, it's our personal Reality Show, and we don't get to turn it off, and we don't win a million smackers for getting through it.

  1. We love, love, love that show. Only it makes me cry every damn week. When Kristina was with the therapist watching Max play ball with the little girl, I was bawling because I see hints of our own struggles and the conversation between the two women was so familiar to me. Obviously our challenges aren't the same as the characters either but somehow watching Kristina makes me feel less alone.

  2. I like it too..I keep forgetting to record it though. Gotta set the DVR !

  3. My sister's son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at age 6. After watching a couple of episodes I made a point to ask her if she saw any similarities. Like Max on the show, my nephew, Dean, is also highly functioning. It was amazing though how many things she could relate to. It was a good thing for someone without a special needs child to see (me) and for the record, Chad & I love the show! We relate most to Adam & Kristina when they're figuring out how to deal with Hattie and her boyfriend. Peyton's only going on 13, but it's amazing how similar they look with cell phones
    in hand texting like mad!!

  4. Anonymous10:10 p.m.

    I have been watching with interest myself. As a parent to a young child with mild autism, I was interested to see how this family was portrayed. I can't relate entirely to Max since he is much older than our son. Also, as they say if you've met one child with autism, you've met ONE child with autism. We can't expect that Max will be like our little guy. However, I could relate extremely well to Max's parents and how they deal with the emotions involved. The show often moves me to tears. As much as I like that I can relate to the show on a personal level, I also hope that the show is able to educate people that are not personally touched by autism and teach them some compassion.

  5. Just a heads up - it appears the Parenthood has been confirmed for a second season.

Our history

"I am motivated by outrage that we, who live in plenty, do so little"
Carol Martin, Find Your Feet founder

Find Your Feet was founded in 1960 by the journalist Carol Martin, in response to the plight of Eastern European refugees after the Hungarian uprising. She was particularly concerned that families were suffering from hunger and malnutrition and was motivated to do something about it.

Over our 60 year history we have evolved from being an organisation that provides humanitarian aid to one that supports long-term rural development projects. We have also shifted our geographical focus from Europe to Asia and Africa where we believe the need is greatest.

We have worked in numerous countries over the years, but in 2004 we chose to focus our work in northern India and Malawi so as to maximise our impact and in 2011 we expanded our reach to start work with families in Nepal and Zimbabwe.

Find Your Feet has evolved considerably during our 60 year history, but our vision remains the same. Just as our founder Carol Martin did, we believe in social justice; a world in which everyone has the right to build a future free from hunger and poverty.

If you walked into an ice cream parlor in 1947 and ordered a root beer float, you’d probably end up with something quite different from what you’d get today. The root beer float, also known as a black cow float in the thirties and forties, was root beer mixed with a couple of shots of chocolate syrup and topped with vanilla ice cream. We’ve attempted to re-create the old black cow experience with this flavor. It’s a root beer–flavored ice cream with swirls of milk chocolate.

For the root beer ice cream:

  • 1 recipe Walt’s Dream (see recipe here)
  • 1 tablespoon root beer extract (see note below)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the milk chocolate swirl:

  • 6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream

  1. Make the root beer ice cream: Prepare Walt’s Dream according to the recipe directions. After cooling the base in the ice bath, add the extracts and stir to combine.
  1. Transfer the cooled base to an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  1. While the ice cream is churning, make the milk chocolate swirl: Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to bubble up. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  1. Transfer the base to a storage container, gently folding in heaping spoonfuls of the milk chocolate swirl as you do, softly lifting and spinning it throughout the ice cream. Be careful not to overmix. Serve immediately or harden in your freezer for 8 to 12 hours for a more scoopable ice cream.

Note: Homemade Soda Company sells a line of various root beer extracts, including a couple of all-natural ones. Sprecher also bottles an extract of their New York Times award-winning root beer, made with Wisconsin honey.

"America! America! How Great Are the Days Ahead!"

By Barry Wunsch

Prophetic word received on September 11, 2021 at 4:30 AM:

America, This Is Your Hour!

The Lord says: "America! America! How great are the days ahead! Can you not yet see it? Can you not yet discern? Have not the veils been removed for you to see? I am revealing to you what has been hidden in plain sight!

"America, America, the home of the brave! The eyes of the nations are upon you! This is your hour! This is your time! America, things are coming to a boiling point!

"Some shall harden, some shall soften, but rest assured, all will be tested!

"Do not, do not, walk in the flesh in this hour, for it will only play into the enemy's hand. It will bring no good fruit! As you rest in Me and are led by My Spirit, watch Me pull out the lynch pins that the enemy has put in place. They are being extracted.

"I am pulling lynch pins – state by state I shall pull them! Ungodly alliances shall be separated... networks and communications cut. They will start to sing like birds, exposing one another. Confessions are coming. Evidence is coming. Things are about to be overturned and turned inside out! And as they are, you will see enemy structures coming down.

"I am stirring up every man, woman and child across this nation, calling them unto Me. Watch Me as I bring family restoration! Watch Me as I bring revival to the young. Schools and universities shall become hubs of revival. They will run with holy fire and a call for righteousness and justice! They will hear and spread the truth and it shall set them free!

"House Churches shall be birthed out of factories and offices! There will be Bible studies and prayer meetings in the lunchroom and boardroom! I am raising up a new breed of pastoral care in this nation! It will come in fast!

"Mend your nets! Tend to your nets! America the Beautiful, let the winds of My Spirit catch you, fill you, and move you today! Today! Today! Right here! Right now! Receive it!”

A Meeting of Leaders

A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I was traveling with a Canadian delegation of leaders. There was a Canadian national political leader with his chief of staff and other staff members; a few members of parliament, a few apostles, prophets and members of the Canadian Ecclesia. We were being escorted by high-level security and intelligence agencies. We were moved quickly and strategically. Everything was very well prepared and planned; everything was being done very covertly, with some things underground and in stealth-mode to be sure.

With check points and security all around, we were being very well taken care of. You could feel the hearts of these men and women who would lay down their lives for each other.

It then became very clear that we were being escorted in to meet with President DJT (Donald J. Trump) and American delegates. As we entered the final destination, we walked into a great and ornate room. It felt like the White House, but it was not in Washington DC. It was in Florida.

There we were met by President DJT, political leaders, generals and members of the American Ecclesia who had been waiting for us. The unity and solidarity that filled the atmosphere in that room was breathtaking. Our hearts, souls and spirits were hemmed together as we shook hands and introduced one another. I have never felt anything like it...a camaraderie, and brothers-in-arms for such a time as this. It was outstanding.

I knew in that moment, like a snapshot on an old camera, that this was a very important moment in history – not only for the USA and Canada, but for Israel and the global harvest that is to come.

President DJT and Florida

This dream I just had, I believe, actually ties in with the word below, which I gave in August.

Prophetic word released on August 18, 2021:

"Florida, you are a key to this nation, and I am about to turn this key for the world to see." (I saw the state from the air, and it was solid gold.)

"What I am starting in Florida shall not only ignite your nation but the nations of the world. Leaders, domestic and foreign, shall come and gather and be touched by My glory, never to be the same again. It will be the true gathering place for the 'United Nations' – united in Me!" (I saw the flags of the nations set up there.)

Now to clarify a little further here, I saw what looked like a private airport. It seemed to be on a golf course, and on the property of President DJT in Florida. It felt like the real White House. You felt the authority in the air. The governmental mantle clearly rested there. It was very well-secured, with agents all around. Nothing came in or went out that was not carefully secured and kept private.

I could see planes landing and taxied to private hangers with limos ready to go. There were international leaders coming for meetings and gatherings. Godly strategies and alliances were coming together. This is where we, as a Canadian delegation, arrived for our meetings.

A Word for Steve Shultz and Elijah Streams

Prophetic word received on September 7, 2021:

I was taken into a vision where I saw Steve Shultz and a small team setting up a new facility. Steve and crew were dressed in military fatigue-type attire, and Steve was wearing a very special vest (mantle) for this assignment, as it was the first of its kind for him; but he knew what he was called to do.

This facility was a command center of sorts, and had "high-technology" cables and gold fibers that ran underground to strategic buildings and centers around the world.

I was given a satellite view and could see them touching every nation on the earth. Lines were going out from this "command center studio" to global cities... Egypt, Europe, South Africa – only to name a few.

This command center was in the Southeast, and I sensed it wasn't far from DJT/Florida. This was sort of portable – like a military unit. It was tied into underground bunkers with massive servers in them, and when you opened a case, you could see that they were pure gold. The equipment on the on ground was rugged, heavy duty, strong and could take a beating without damage.

The team started small but was well oiled, well trained, like a special ops tactical team, running it all. (This is going to be good.) There was a peace and confidence in the air as they set up and went about their work, preparing to throw the switch!

Prophetic word received on September 11, 2021 at 3:00 AM:

The Day That Changed the World

The Lord said, "Barry, this day in history will never be forgotten. It was a day that changed the world forever. Never again will there be a day like it. The enemy has a strategy that still is based in fear, death and destruction. It has been ramped up on scales beyond imagination. It is the ultimate game of deceit. That has never changed.

"The world is about to enter into days where they will see My glory poured out over the earth. I am about to expose the wretched, evil and demonic people, systems, networks, plots and plans for all the world to see. Nations will rise and fall before your eyes. There will be bloodshed. There will be city streets covered with blood. Fear will overtake many. Good men will be forced to stand up in defense.

Evil Leaders Running in Fear

"Paris will burn. I saw the city at night with the Eiffel Tower in the skyline. The sky was glowing as fires raged throughout the city and nation. Things had gone too far, and the scales finally tipped. I saw millions on the street overtake the police and military; they were overcome, and then turned against the evil rulers with the people. I saw them take over government buildings and facilities. Evil leaders were running in fear, in exile; some taking their own lives – falling on their own swords.”

Key Leaders Are Coming Out of Prague

City after city fell across Europe. Then I heard the name Prague, and the Lord said, "There are key leaders coming out of Prague that I have put in place for the days that are unfolding ahead. They will have the tenacity and the fortitude to stand and to lead My people into victory. They are not in it for the glory; they are in it for the sake of justice and righteousness. The battle is going to be fierce. But rest assured, as they pursue Me, I will be with them and I will give them victory."

7 Things To Do On A Gloomy Autumn Evening ft. Boomtown Bingo*

*This is a collaborative post*

This time of year the nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder and wetter. (Well it is here at any rate!) Most of us will be saving money ready for Christmas which of course means more nights in, usually curled up on the sofa. But being stuck inside doesn't have to be boring. If you're lost for some ideas then here are seven things to try on your gloomy autumn evenings.

Netflix Binge

Why not watch a movie or have a Netflix binge? A personal favourite of mine as many of you will already know is Gilmore Girls. I've also recently become a huge fan of Chesapeake Shores. This is definitely one to try!

Read A Good Book

Granted I don't read half as much as I used to. I just don't have the time now that blogging has taken over. But I'd recommend authors such as Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella and Paula Hawkins.

Play Online Games

Are you a Solitaire or Candy Crush fan? Or perhaps Bingo is more your thing? Playing online games does not necessarily mean that you have to gamble. You don't have to spend a penny if you don't want to as there's many games that don't even require a deposit.

If you do like to play online games then the Boomtown community is a fun and friendly place to visit. Here you can read the latest online gaming comparisons and see who has the best deals before you choose where to play.

Pamper Night

If you're in need of some relaxation, light a few candles, put on some tunes and give yourself a pamper evening. Apply some leave in conditioner or hair oil to your mid lengths and ends and then wrap your hair in a heated towel. Slap on a face mask and let it do it's thing whilst you paint your finger and toe nails. Don't forget to have a glass of Prosecco on hand.

Organise The Chaos

It doesn't have to be Spring to go on a cleaning spree. Gut your whole house or even just your bedroom. Throw out any clutter you've been hoarding and bag up any clothes that a charity shop would be grateful for. As a guide, if you're going through your wardrobe and you notice something you haven't worn in over twelve months, get rid!

This doesn't mean you have to go on an all out gruelling routine. Just try a few squats, sit ups or planks. You'll feel rejuvenated and healthier for it. If you want something to really get your blood pumping, then why not try a workout DVD?

I couldn't finish this post without suggesting the one thing I love to do the most...Blogging! If you haven't tried it then I definitely recommend giving it a go. Sure it's hard work at times but it's also so much fun.

Namib Desert

Thinking of the Namib Desert huge sand dunes immediately spring to mind, but different to the massive sand sea of the southern desert the central and northern Namib Desert are characterized by the Namib plains with inselbergs and rocky outcrops.

The wonder plant, Welwitschia mirabilis is endemic to the Namib Desert and some of them are believed to be 1 000 to 1 500 years old. Although it appears otherwise, the plant has only two leaves, which grow continually from the base, even in the absence of rain. The leaves are apparently able to take up fog-water, although the root, which extends three meters into the ground, is well adapted to find any available moisture in the gravel where the plant lives. Though the annual growth of a leaf in a dry year can be 10 to 20 cm, it can be up to10cm a month during a wet year.

Lichens, plants that may even be older than Welwitschia mirabilis, occur in great numbers in the fog zone along the coast and are also extremely sensitive to damage. There are several hundred species of lichen and some species are believed to live for thousands of years. Lichens are the result of a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi. The fungus portion of a plant provides the physical support, while the algae carries out the photosynthesis that provides food and energy. Lichens are able to use moisture from humid air as well as from fog.

Saltpans and lagoons in different stages of evolution occur all along the coastline while the soil inland in the fog-belt consists mainly of gypsum. Gypsum soil are extremely sensitive to damage from off-road driving, and tracks on these surfaces persist for decades.

Please take care when driving off-road!
