Afrikaanse Persvrystelling
23 November 2021 – CANSA, founded in 1931, has reached an extraordinary milepost, celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. CANSA has remained relevant, highly adaptable, and resilient, through refining its focus and service offerings to better meet the needs of those affected by cancer and educate the public on how to lower cancer risk.
#TogetherWeGive #GivingTuesday #CANSA90
CANSA demonstrated this adaptability when responding to the restrictions imposed by COVID-19, by substantially increasing its online support offering and resources to patients and loved ones, who struggled to deal with the isolation imposed by lockdowns and fear of contracting the virus due to lowered immunity. This included information for cancer patients to protect themselves against COVID-19.
On Giving Tuesday (30 November 2021) from 12:00 to 13:15, CANSA invites the public to join a virtual celebration 'Conversations with CANSA – Celebrating 90 Years', on CANSA's Facebook page or YouTube. It's an opportunity for the public to give an online donation in support of the efforts CANSA makes to help those affected by cancer.
Elize Joubert, CANSA CEO, appreciates being able to make a positive impact in a cancer patient or loved one's life through the Organisation. "I am immensely proud of all CANSA's achievements, and to have played a role. CANSA's service includes supporting local cancer research and driving community based educational campaigns to lower personal cancer risk. We further offer cancer screening and employee wellness programmes promoting early detection and providing a care service that helps patients and loved ones to manage the physical and psychological challenges of cancer treatment in a practical manner. Our CANSA Care Homes cater for patients receiving cancer treatment offering accommodation, transport and meals and we've accommodated more than 33 000 cancer patients at our Care Homes over the last 10 years."
Modernising Service
Joubert adds, "Despite the impact of COVID-19 and strain on resources, we actively make use of technology to support daily operations, with the dual purpose of lowering costs, while forging better ways of providing service."
CANSA launched CANSA Tele Counselling in 2020, free cancer specific tele counselling in seven languages. In addition to those who have received Tele Counselling, CANSA has individually counselled nearly 200 000 people over the last 10 years. Patient support groups continue via online platforms. CANSA assists an average of 900 – 1000 people through its Help Desk per month.
Advocating and Educating
CANSA also advocates for patients' rights within the workplace and access to treatment, medication, pain control and palliative care. CANSA has contributed to the National Cancer Strategic Framework, 2017 – 2022, and to updating national cancer prevention and control policies for breast, cervical and prostate cancer (yet to be published). ( For more achievements regarding advocacy, view the CANSA 90th Infographic). CANSA has produced over 300 Fact Sheets to help educate about cancer and related information.
Bugs Pancha, President Board: "I serve CANSA because of the joy I get from working with the most dedicated and committed team. Within the next 10 years I would like to see CANSA's research, education and support programmes expanded and reaching all people in our country."
While the Chairperson, Vuyokazi Memani-Sedile, Chairperson Board added, "In the words of Madiba 'education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world'. The more people we educate the more the word can be spread so that people can get checked for cancer or get treatment earlier."
CANSA'S Community
CANSA relies heavily on individuals, corporate donors, donations and volunteerism to fund its service, care and support programmes, advocacy and research initiatives.
Memani-Sedile believes that one of CANSA's most extraordinary achievements in its 90 years of operation is establishing a community of people, affected by cancer in one way or another, who work together to raise funds and get work done.
"These include cancer Survivors, caregivers, medical and research professionals, sponsors and the general public who never cease to surprise us with their generosity and participation in our national and regional events, be it face-to-face or virtual," says Memani-Sedile.
In the past few years alone, CANSA has been recognised nationally for its significant contribution to South Africa's fight against cancer. It was also voted the 'Most Coolest' brand by youngsters in the 2016 Sunday Times Generation Next Survey.
In November 2015, CANSA's CEO was announced as the African Continental Winner for Welfare and Civil Society Organisations at the 2015 Africa's Most Influential Women (MIW) in Business and Government Awards. This followed her winning two awards in July: 'Country Winner from South Africa' and 'SADC South Regional' for the category 'Welfare and Civil Society Organisations.' In June 2016, a testicular cancer video made pro bono by partner agency HelloFCB+ won an international Silver Cannes Lions Award and three local Loerie awards. They further developed a prostate cancer video (also pro bono) that won two Loerie awards in 2020.
In April 2018, CANSA partnered with the University of KwaZulu-Natal and KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health to promote awareness of cervical cancer and increase screening achieving a Guinness World Record number for the most Pap smears in a day.
Joubert concludes," I am so grateful that I am surrounded by a highly driven and successful Board, staff and volunteers who genuinely care about those they work with and the communities in which they serve. We wouldn't be able to operate without our committed volunteers, who are the backbone of our Organisation, or the public's support. Together, we continue making an impact based on our values of leadership, improvement, passion, accountability and integrity. We encourage you to visit our CANSA Website for more information on how you can become involved with our organisation or to make an online donation."

Malvern Hills District Council is challenging 14-25 year olds to become fitter, leaner and stronger by signing up to a new sports course it is running.
Working with the Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire, to deliver Sport England's Sportivate programme, the Council is running a six to eight week course called 'Fitter, Leaner, Stronger'.
The course costs just £10 and will begin on Wednesday 24 September, from 8-9pm at Malvern Splash. Sessions within the course include fitness testing and strength testing to promote high-end fitness and fat loss and are developed in order to suit everyone's needs.
Off the back of this, participants may find other activities to suit them such as dance fitness, zumba or yoga – all of which can be done at Malvern Splash.
Mark Cawthorne, Malvern Splash Fitness Manager, said: "The Fitter, Leaner, Stronger course is a wonderful introduction to sports training and will encourage those who take part to continue with sport once the programme has finished."
If you would like more information on the Fitter, Leaner, Stronger course, please contact Mark Cawthorne at markcawthorne@everyoneactive.com or contact Malvern Splash on 01684 893423.
Malvern Hills District Council is offering would-be Wimbledon tennis stars aged 14-25 the chance to develop their skills on an exciting new course.
TennisXpress is a six week course designed to provide participants with the fundamentals of how to play tennis.
The first session will take place on Friday 3 October 2014 and will run from 7-8pm at Manor Park Club, Albert Road North, Malvern, WR14 2TL. The cost is just £10.
TennisXpress has been made available thanks to the Council working with Sport England on their Sportivate scheme. Sportivate is a scheme which aims to get non-sporty 14-25 year olds to take up a new sport with courses typically running for six to eight weeks. Participants pay £10 for each course and hopefully get more active as a result.
Jane Poynder from the Manor Park Club, said: "Anyone aged 14-25 with a budding interest in tennis can come along to this course and learn how to serve, rally and score the games. We have qualified coaches and top equipment and the course promises to be a lot of fun."
If you would like more information on the TennisXpress course, please contact Jane Poynder at malverntennisacademy@gmail.com or contact George Wathen at george.wathen@malvernhills.gov.uk.

I have a double room available In my ground floor Edwardian flat in West Dulwich, that I would like to rent out. The room can be furnished or unfinished.
The flat is quite large and on a quiet street in West Dulwich. I work self employed, full time and live a pretty quiet life too, I'm tidy and easy going. The flat has a comfy sitting room, dining room, bathroom to share, kitchen and garden. It's about 12 mins walk to the station and five minutes to the local shops and restaurants, as well as having an off licence 1 minute away. Trains to Victoria also take 12 minutes walk. I don't have any pets. Gypsy Hill and West Norwood stations take around 15 minutes walk. Dulwich Village is very close too. Parking is available outside without the need for permits.
I would be happy for you to use the flat and contents as your own.
Please get in touch if this is of interest to you, or if you have any questions.


Last night in our comfy bed. I can sleep anywhere (side effect of growing up in lots of foster homes) but it won't be near as comfy as our air mattress.
I'm going to miss you terribly, Chelsea.

Idea to retire: Buy and build IT infrastructure
Series: Ideas to retire
TechTank
Craig Orgeron Friday, April 1, 2016
Traditional information technology (IT) has long fostered a belief in the value of buying and owning infrastructure, a dominant model across many public sector organizations. However, the era of buying, building, and maintaining complex and costly infrastructure is quickly becoming an outdated and arcane approach to long-term technology investment. The need for state governments to deliver services to citizens as efficiently as possible has hastened the demise of traditional processes for planning, developing, and testing IT capabilities. Cloud computing, in its various iterations, embodies much of the debate in the public sector on how to maximize shared investment in technology and lower the cost of service delivery. In this new era, technology services are brokered instead of infrastructure being procured.
Public sector benefit
Retiring the era of buy-and-build infrastructure promises a number of benefits. In the IT ecosystem today, cloud computing represents a new reality—nearly infinite scalability. Cloud computing will minimize or potentially eliminate the need to make capital investments in technology infrastructure, one of the more difficult tasks for a public sector chief information officer (CIO). Charge-back models for IT organizations raise revenue for work as it is defined today, but they do not allow planning for tomorrow. That is the most incrementally conservative and safest way to fund technology services, and it is much easier than drafting requests from a general fund. Yet, information technology is fast becoming critical infrastructure for governments to make significant investments—on par with transportation and economic development. The elimination of upfront costs with cloud computing is a powerful argument, especially in the public sector.
Cloud computing has carved out a niche in commodified services like email and storage. Larger mission-critical systems may not now be a good fit for cloud computing, with questions of performance, security, and obsolescence still viable business concerns. Even with little need for upfront investment in cloud computing, incremental investment in onsite infrastructure remains a norm; however, that model is unlikely to remain stable. Cloud computing may very well mature into the norm for how technical services are procured and managed in the public sector, and with that maturation the landscape for public sector CIOs will change dramatically. Cloud computing would alter the landscape of IT management, and redefine how technology budgets are prepared and defended during the appropriation process. And the defining metric of cloud computing—hyper-scalability—would be front and center in public sector funding discussions.
Promise and peril
The basic promise of cloud computing lies in hyper-scalability, the ability to aggregate a greater volume than any one collection of agencies and departments can muster. Hyper-scalability of cloud computing is synonymous with shared services in the public sector CIO lexicon. This is both the promise and peril of cloud computing. For the public sector CIO, building enterprise services of all varieties and sorts is fundamental to success. Volume can drive down the unit price of any and all services. That pattern has certainly been true of email, for example. Cloud computing pricing for email seems to beat, hands down, what can be offered by on-premises email systems. Across the board, public sector CIOs are steadfastly focused on building consensus for the development of enterprise services used by many of the agencies and departments of government. Why? Many argue that it is to gain and keep control, but enterprise models that drive volume up and price down are also the most cost effective in government.
Similarly, relying on cloud computing also comes with perils. Typically, cost recovery models offer the greatest savings when volume is maximized, as is the case in a government-owned and operated data center. More agencies and departments participating in a data center, as an example, allows contract managers to negotiate discounts and reduced operational costs. Yet, the purview of a government data center limits the number of customers that can be served and volume of services delivered. In the past, that volume was enough to drive efficiencies and make the case for shared services. Cloud computing renders that model obsolete.
Expect change
In the evolving arena of information technology, change is expected even in the slower-paced public sector, and hyper-scalability of cloud computing services gives the public sector CIO another tool in the toolbox. While they will benefit from leveraging cloud computing services in conjunction with standard service delivery, does the hyper-scalability of cloud computing remove volume as a key negotiation lever? Will the unit price of cloud computing services fall to the point of nullifying volume? At first glance, public sector CIOs may see hyper-scalability as a direct challenge to specific services offered in a cost recovery data center. This idea will prompt the CIO to develop a strategy that advances investment in cloud computing as a counterweight to traditional IT services.
Meanwhile, the public sector CIO must also consider a more challenging issue: how can enterprise services be planned and implemented without volume as a driver? Individual agencies and departments will see diminishing from shared services, when these services can be procured in the cloud.
The shift away from buying and building infrastructure will push the public sector CIO to focus on business leadership and strategy instead of technology management.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Federal Courts › Courts of Appeals › D.C. Circuit › 1992 › United States of America, v. Derrin A. Perkins, Appellant
Receive free daily summaries of new opinions from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
United States of America, v. Derrin A. Perkins, Appellant, 955 F.2d 764 (D.C. Cir. 1992)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit - 955 F.2d 764 (D.C. Cir. 1992)
Before MIKVA, Chief Judge, and RUTH BADER GINSBURG and BUCKLEY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the memoranda filed by the parties. The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for an opinion. See D.C. Cir. Rule 14(c). It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's order filed December 20, 1991 be affirmed substantially for the reasons stated therein. The findings of the district court regarding appellant's dangerousness to the community are supported by the evidence and are not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Simpkins, 826 F.2d 94, 97 (D.C. Cir. 1987); United States v. Vortis, 785 F.2d 327, 329 (D.C. Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 841 (1986).
We also note, contrary to appellee's suggestion, that appellant's notice of appeal was timely filed. Where, as here, a notice of appeal is filed prior to the entry on the district court docket of the order appealed from, the notice is considered filed on the date of entry. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b). Finally, appellant's contention that the conditions of his confinement do not afford him adequate opportunity to consult with counsel is not properly before this court, in the absence of an antecedent motion in the district court for relief from the conditions. See Fassler v. United States, 858 F.2d 1016, 1018 (5th Cir. 1988), cert. denied, 490 U.S. 1099 (1989).
The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 15.
of D.C. Circuit opinions.

Ministry of Interior assures security clearance of personal belongings of MS181 hijacker
Passengers arrive in Cairo following MS181 hijack, eyewitnesses give accounts
Amira El-Fekki March 29, 2016 Be the first to comment
Passengers who were on board of the hijacked EgyptAir MS181 aeroplane safely landed in Cairo International Airport on Tuesday evening.
The flight was hijacked Tuesday morning shortly after it departed from Borg El-Arab airport near Alexandria and forced to land in Larnaca airport in Cyprus, with at least 55 passengers and crew members on board.
Several hours later, and as negotiations for the safe release of passengers progressed, the hijacker was identified as Seif Eddin Mostafa, who claimed to be wearing an explosive belt to hijack the plane.
The Egyptian Ministry of Interior assured that all security measures were applied before plane take off, adding that Mosatfa was personally checked, as well as his luggage through electronic x-ray gates.
"His handbag was checked and contained personal non-prohibited belongings which he used to imply that he was wearing an explosive belt and threatened the crew and passengers," the ministry said, adding that "his request to reroute the flight was approved for passengers and plane safety".
The ministry said Mostafa was known to authorities, as he had a "criminal record with several crimes of forgery, impersonation, burglary and drug dealing". It further claimed Mostafa—who is married to a Cypriot woman—was sentenced to one year in prison for forgery. He escaped during the revolution in January 2011.
A ministry official told Daily News Egypt earlier on Tuesday that the hijacker has a criminal record, having been charged with crimes such as forgery, burglary, drug dealing, and impersonation.
"Mostafa has a criminal record. The ministry archives reveal that he was sentenced to one year in prison for forgery. He escaped during the events of the 25 January Revolution but he surrendered himself to police in 2014. He was later released in 2015," the ministry source clarified.
Meanwhile, a senior flight attendant who was on board of the hijacked plane told AlHayat local TV channel upon landing that he was the first person addressed by the hijacker, and continued as a negotiator throughout the operation until passengers were safely freed from the plane and the hijacker was arrested.
"I was surprised to find him standing behind me. He told me he was a wearing a suicide belt, showing me something wrapped around his waist," the eyewitness said, adding that the hijacker threatened to detonate it if the crew attempted to land in Cairo. He then asked to be directed to Cyprus, Lebanon or Turkey.
"We had to avoid any sort of panic among passengers, especially as we did not know at first whether he had partners on board," he added.
Other witnesses told the media that the hijacker collected their passports, following which he released women and children, then men, with the exception of a few non-Egyptians. They also said they did not directly speak with the hijacker and that communication took place through the flight attendants.
A woman said the flight attendants informed them of the situation when they inquired as to why their passports were being collected, and convinced them to stay calm until landing to avoid "angering the hijacker", assuring them they would land in Cyprus.
The hostage situation on-board the EgyptAir MS181 was resolved, with all passengers and crew members freed. The hijacker was arrested by the Cypriot authorities.
The Cypriot foreign ministry announced that the hijacker was arrested at about 2.00 pm, more than seven hours after the hijacking.

November 30, 2016 September 12, 2017 Background, Uncategorized Leave a comment Background
What Happened to Anya Nesterova and Lyuba Tanailova
In late November, 1944, while fighting in Lithuania, a few girls from Roza's platoon were stationed at a lookout post with some other soldiers. It was a very foggy morning, making any sharpshooting or observation impossible. The girls passed the time in conversation. A Nazi reconnaissance group managed to get to their trench through the fog and grabbed four girls: Anya, Lyuba, Dusya Kekesheva, and Dusya Shambarova. As the Nazis took them away, Anya and Lyuba shouted back to their trench to open fire – her comrades did not, as they feared hitting them. Then one of the Nazis stepped on a mine – Kekesheva was able to get free and run back to the trench. Shambarova was hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground, playing dead until the Nazis were out of sight. She had surgery to remove the shrapnel, but never recovered and died shortly after the war.
Anya and Lyuba were featured in a Nazi propaganda leaflet dropped on the Soviets in December, 1944, but the rest of the story would not be known until much later. After interrogation, the two were taken to a Nazi concentration camp. Anya died a short while later, but Lyuba survived until the Americans liberated the camp in 1945. However, she was not yet free. The Soviet army considered surrender or capture tantamount to treason; clearly, surviving Nazi captivity meant that one had collaborated willingly with their captors. Lyuba was transferred from the concentration camp to a Soviet prison camp. After serving her sentence, she was sent to internal exile in Kazakhstan. When the political climate finally relaxed in the 1960s, she was allowed to return to work at her childhood collective farm in Chelyabinsk.1
One of the innumerable tragedies of WWII, and of course every war, is that those who fought often must continue fighting after the war is over. The Soviet demands on their troops produced acts exceptional heroism, and near superhuman feats of endurance and survival. These demands, often unreachable ideals, also punished the innocent, and produced what several historians have termed "double-victims." Understanding this is key to understanding the sacrifices made by so many.
1 Vinogradova, Lyuba. Avenging Angels. New York: MacLehose Press, 2017. p181-185. Vinogradova cites her interview with Kalya Petrova, who recalled the story from the front and had reconnected with Tanailova at a veteran's reunion in 1970.


Jane Austen completed Persuasion in August 1816 It was to be her last book She left us with the story of Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth and she left them approaching happily ever after What happens the day following happily ever after The story of Kellynch picks up three years after the couple married and were able to secure the Kellynch estate from Sir WalterJane Austen completed Persuasion in August 1816 It was to be her last book She left us with the story of Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth and she left them approaching happily ever after What happens the day following happily ever after The story of Kellynch picks up three years after the couple married and were able to secure the Kellynch estate from Sir Walter and Cousin William Elliot agreed to waive the entailment It would seem all is well with the young couple, but all is not as it seems Kellynch is a story of deceit and treachery as well as courage and overcoming the odds It is a story in which those who were assumed to be friends are not and where support comes from unexpected places Love again, will, be tested in a story set against the backdrop of historical events Throughout the book, I have tried to remain true to the characters as Miss Austen created them I sought to develop and introduce new characters that would meet with her approval.
KellynchKwen writes as though he has lived what he writes. His knowledge,history and discriptivness is superior. High standards is just one of his best qualities. Amazing story! Renews a person's faith in the goodness of people and the love of family's I highly recommend all. seven of his books!!!!.
Persuasion is my favorite Austen book. To say we got a decent story about Wentworth is true, but this was not the Anne Elliot I'd come to admire. Anne could have run Kellynch all by herself. Also, the book was mostly landscape.
I should have liked this book. I WANTED to like this book. Instead I gave up less than 25% in because I just couldn't stand it any longer. So disappointing.

Three impressive Alpine peaks — the Eiger, Moench, and Jungfrau — rise abruptly from the river valley in the central Alps on this gay Swiss hiking tour. During our week of hiking, these "Oberland Giants" form a constant backdrop to the shining green meadows and breathtaking cliffside paths.
The Swiss Alps were made for hiking, and no region of Switzerland offers a more picturesque setting than the Bernese Oberland. Our hiking trip is set deep in this mountain valley, in the centuries-old village of Grindelwald. To the south rise some of the best-known alpine peaks: The Eiger, Moench, and Jungfrau, and three glaciers. Unfolding more gently to the north are the meadows of wildflowers, forests, and mountain lakes that have made Switzerland such a favorite with calendar illustrators.
We'll hike into both of these alpine worlds, walking along the base of the intimidating Eiger North Wall, near frosty glaciers, and through acres of green pastures dotted with brown cows and inquisitive goats.
The tour begins with a scenic train ride to transfer from the airport to our chalet. Switzerland's rail system is among the best in the world: fast, comfortable, and efficient. As you pass the picturesque lakeside town of Thun, you may resolve to return to this pretty medieval town after your week of hiking.
Today's hike will take us across a glacial river and past an abandoned marble quarry (once a source of jobs and income for the town) to arrive just outside Grindelwald. We will continue along an alpine trail above the icy crevasses of the "Lower Glacier." Soon we're hiking well above the glacier, with changing views of the icy mass below.
Lunch today is at a remote mountain restaurant that serves a surprisingly sophisticated menu for its unique location. After lunch, we will hike farther bringing us not only closer to the glacier but to Schreckhorn, a 4078-meter peak. Hardier hikers might get to the Schreckhorn hut before turning back.
Our final stop is at Gletscherschlucht, the narrow gorge whose vertical walls were carved into the rock by the churning waters of the glacier. A narrow boardwalk, jutting out from the cliff face, gives us a close-up look at the sculpted canyon and rushing waters below.
Today we will ride the Jungfrau cog rail train to Europe's highest railroad station (3454 meters) on the massive Jungfrau mountain. The journey will take us over deep ravines and through mountain tunnels carved inside the Eiger and Monch. From here you'll enjoy views of the Aletsch glacier, the longest in Europe. Roam the Ice Palace, carved into the blue glacier and decorated year-round with intricate ice sculptures; enjoy a run of summer skiing, or slide down the slopes on a snow disc.
Continue hiking part of the way back on the recently-opened Eiger trail right under the Nordwand (North Wall) of the Eiger, a vertiginous cliff that has defeated many a mountaineer. We won't try any mountaineering ascents today, just a scenic hike, crossing the narrow, twisted gorges of glacier-fed streams, then winding through forest, until we emerge over (but on the other side of) the "Lower Glacier".
Price includes: 7 nights lodging in shared or single room, with private bathroom; 6-day pass that covers MOST Jungfrau-area trains, buses and lifts, including the Jungfraujoch train; Welcome packet with map; Breakfast or breakfast supplies; Opening-night reception, orientation, and dinner; Two mid-week dinners; A beer-tasting, featuring regional specialties; Closing-night dinner at a superb local restaurant. HE Travel provides complimentary Medical & Evacuation Insurance for every US Resident on our group tours who does not have other coverage.
Not included: Transportation to and from Grindelwald (easily accessible by train); Meals not listed here; Optional activities, such as mountain biking and paragliding; Personal expenses such as laundry, telephone charges, alcohol (except when provided with a meal) and gratuities for guides.
Where and when does the tour start and end?
This tour starts and ends in Grindelwald, Switzerland. As for most of our trips, the official starting time is 6:00 pm on our official "start date". At that time we'll have a reception and orientation, followed by dinner. It ends after breakfast on the last day. You can arrive earlier or depart later, but please note that (as of this writing) check-in time is 4:00 pm, and check-out time is 9:00 am. Our pre-trip newsletter will keep you posted on any changes in these times, as well as tips on what to do with luggage if your travel schedule allows you to fit some activities on your arrival or departure dates.
The most direct way to get there is to fly into Zurich, Geneva, or Milan, then connect by train. But many other European cities also have convenient connections. If you want to visit Paris, Munich or Berlin, for example, you may choose to fly into one of those cities instead.
Our gay Switzerland hiking week is designed to be enjoyable for hikers of ALL levels. Our skilled guides will be available throughout the trip to offer alternate options to tailor the activities to any level. Those that are always "raring to go" can hike or climb every segment. Other hikers may choose to hike and ride any of the lifts, buses, trams, cable cars, cog railroads, etc. that are widely available around the Alps.
Due to sometimes steep terrain, hiking poles are recommended. Travelers should be comfortable with high-altitude hiking on narrow trails with expansive vistas.
What's the weather like in the Oberlands this time of year?
During June, July, and September, daytime temperatures around Grindelwald will generally range from the mid-60s to the high 70s and will drop 5 or 10 degrees as you hike up to higher elevations.
Mountain weather anywhere tends to be unpredictable, and the Bernese Oberlands are no exception. This is a moister climate than, for example, the Zermatt region. That's why the pastures are so green, and the wildflowers so lush! Some years we have had only a few hours of rain during our entire week around Grindelwald, and a t-shirt will often be all you need. However, it's quite possible we'll have a day or two of rain, and you should always carry a sweater and light waterproof top.
Should I get a Swiss rail pass?
Swiss transportation is among the world's best — but not the simplest. The simple Eurail pass of a generation ago has given way to dozens of pass types. Some cover one country; some several. Some cover travel on a certain number of days, i.e., any 5 days in a 30-day period. It's particularly complicated in Switzerland, which has many privately-owned rail lines. Some give a discount for some passes, some do not, and it's virtually impossible to get accurate information about what's covered until you're actually there.
If you are not doing additional travel within Switzerland, we recommend the Swiss Card (not to be confused with the Swiss Pass), which will (as of this writing — subject, but not likely, to change), get you from your entry point (the Swiss border, or any airport in Switzerland) to most destinations (including Zermatt and Grindelwald), and back; it also gives you a 50% discount on most additional travel in Switzerland, including some of the lifts and railroads from Zermatt and Grindelwald. You can find out more about various passes from RailEurope. But please remember: We never promised that this was simple.
What language is spoken in this part of Switzerland?
Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian and Romansch. The prevalent language in this region is Swiss German, a distinct German dialect. If you know German, they'll understand you, but you may have some trouble understanding them. Fortunately, from a very young age, Swiss children learn many languages. Not everyone speaks English, but enough speak some English that you should be able to get by.
Will I need good map-reading skills for this trip?
However, the more popular hiking trails in the Alps are generally well marked, with clear signs that indicate distances in walking hours (Std.=stunde, German for hour.) Yellow signs mark a wanderweg, a relatively easy trail. The more difficult Bergwegs (mountain trails) are marked with white-red-white blazes at the top. These may involve scrambling over rocks occasionally, or narrow trails that occasionally wind near a vertical drop.
Swiss trails occasionally cross onto private property. You're welcome to hike here, but close the gates after you, to keep the sheep or cows in. You'll see signs that say, Bitte die Tur Schliessen, which means Please close the gate.
Some fences are electrified. You'll see the telltale plastic or glass insulators. Gates on such fences have plastic latches for you to use.

Fashion Knotty Scarves, Grey Hall Design
Knotty Scarves, Grey Hall Design
by Sara Elliott - Oct 23, 2017
A local lady turns her dreams into artwork, and then her artwork into luxury accessories that help women up their "chic" game. Read on for more.
Grey Hall is the founder of Grey Hall Design and The Knotty Scarf.
Grey Hall is always dreaming in color. Vibrant colors to be exact. "I dream of artwork I want to transform into products my customers will love," she says.
As someone who would often become discouraged with shopping because she could never quite find the outfits she'd envisioned in her mind, she wanted to create something that would allow her to look chic without the big closet (and big price tag that often come with big closets).
She says that she always envisions Parisians when it comes to fashion. How did they look so chic so effortlessly? Hall believes it's one simple answer: scarves. "Scarves are their defining accessory to make every black, gray, and other black outfit in their armoire look reinvented, classic, modern, and effortlessly put together for the catwalk each time they pop outside," she says.
With a grandmother who once hand-painted silk scarves, Hall began to think about producing the same types of silk scarves that would solve the gap she believed fashion was missing.
That's when she launched The Knotty Scarf, a line of scarves specifically created to make luxury attainable. "There is a significant gap between haute fashion brand quality and level of design versus mainstream shopping," explains Hall. "But why does this have to be so? We are in the era of digital transformation where affordability can now be the bridge to achieving the most beautiful high-end quality without the significant price tag."
Through her Cincinnati-based brand, The Knotty Scarf, Hall not only wants to create beautiful pieces of art that customers can wear, but she also wants to make luxury accessible. "The question should not be, 'Can I afford this gorgeous accessory as a staple in my wardrobe?', but instead, the question should be 'Which design theme is the most beautiful to me?'"
Hall doesn't have formal training in art, but she has been sketching and sewing from her earliest memories. "I developed and strengthened my skills in art through observing and learning from my mom, Fran Hall, a commercial artist who was a graphic designer for Delta Airlines before Photoshop existed," she says.
Growing up in a family with a deep appreciation for art, she found that she naturally gravitated toward creative entrepreneurship. Her business also receives help from her sister, Page Hall, who offers ongoing creative collaboration and trend inspiration. "She and I have a long-term vision for future products that we're excited to introduce over the next 18 months."
Hall's scarf designs date back to 2008 when she because translating her artwork to silk for a non-profit that is close to her heart, Starfire Council's Artability Fundraiser to benefit teens and adults with disabilities.
Grey Hall finds inspiration for her scarves from her travels and passions.
"This opportunity was the driver into exploring my artwork on textiles," she says. She soon had the privilege of designing custom scarves for the Cincinnati Reds, P&G London Olympic Games, the Washington D.C. White House Gift Shop, and an Australian fashion designer. "I have to say, the most challenging of all was gaining artwork approval from the International Olympic Committee," she jokingly adds.
The Knotty Scarf pieces are 100 percent silk. Hall offers 18 designs with two sizes available as well as a 100 percent cashmere scarf with Turkish tassels, and hopes to offer necklaces and other types of jewelry soon.
As her business continues to grow, Hall will focus on creating original silk scarves inspired by her travels and passions. Currently, Hall's Etsy site includes a few Cincinnati favorites that make for unique holiday and hostess gifts such as cutting boards, prints of iconic scenes, and coasters.
In addition to The Knotty Scarf, Hall is also the owner of Grey Hall Design, a lifestyle brand bringing original hand-painted artwork to everyday living. "With watercolor as my primary medium, my illustration doodles are designed with home and fashion in mind," says Hall. "The time-honored tradition of handcrafted elegance and attention to detail is the focal point of every piece."
Hall says that she will continue with her ventures in both collaboration and giving back. She is currently in the early stages of working with Starfire members that have a passion for art and working with them to transform their creativity to wearable art.
To learn more about The Knotty Scarf, follow along on Instagram or check out Hall's Etsy shop. You can learn more about Grey Hall Design on Instagram or at www.greyhalldesign.com when the stand-alone site launches in early November.

- LO 3.2.2 Determine how large data sets impact the use of computational processes to discover information and knowledge. [P3]
- LO 3.3.1 Analyze how data representation, storage, security, and transmission of data involve computational manipulation of information. [P4]

## What is Data?
Data, in the context of Computer Science, is stored information. A computer stores all sorts of data: instructions on how to execute a program, the contents of your word documents, the background image for your desktop. All those are forms of data which are abstracted differently based on their use. It is important to understand the context of data when displaying it. Displaying the binary values that make up an image isn't useful, and conversely, displaying a compiled program as an image doesn't have much use either!

## What is Big Data?
Over time, the way we store data has increased in scalability. That means that computers have become more advanced and storage costs have gone down, which allows people to store more and more information about the world. A spreadsheet that used to fit in a room-sized 4 megabyte hard drive used to be "big data". Now? Google is estimated to store 10+ exabytes of information. An exabyte is 1,000 petabytes... A petabyte is 1,000 terabytes... And a terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes! So around 1,000,000,000 gigabytes of data is stored and processed by Google. That's around 16 million modern video game installs!

## How can we interact with and manipulate big data?
In contrast to "small data", or data which can be read and easily understood by individuals, big data is data that cannot be understood at a glance. Usually the dataset is so massive that a single person cannot understand every aspect of it at once. This is why we manipulate large datasets to help us understand them.

A list of populations of each city makes it hard to find any patterns, but color each city on a map, you can start to see population centers across the various countries.

Trying to monitor all the tweets as they come in is nearly impossible. However, picking a keyword and highlighting tweets that match can help a person identify events as they happen.

Think of working with big data as trying to create an abstraction. Simplify what you need into a series of inputs and

## Activity 1: Census Explorer
### What you need:
- census.gov's Census Explorer: https://www.census.gov/censusexplorer/censusexplorer-youngadults.html
- Some way to record information and compare (Paper and pencils. Computer and a note-taking or spreadsheet program.)

Interact with the census.gov's Census Explorer to find out how your school's county compares with another.

Locate your home county on the website and record various details for the current slice of time. Be sure to record both the percentages and actual counts. Pick three categories to record and log all the values between 2009 and 2013.

Pick a neighboring county and record it's values for the categories you picked. Compare between the two. Are there any major differences between the two? What does the data say about the two countys when viewed that way? Does it reflect your perception of these two countys?

### Discussion Questions
- How much disk space do you think this census takes? 1MB? 1GB? 1TB? More?
- Are you able to identify any specific person or group through the census data? If so, who could you see? If not, why do you think this was?
- Can you think of any risks of having publicly accessible census data available to anyone in the world?

## Activity 2: Group Data Exploration
### What you need:
- Link to TED Talk https://www.ted.com/talks/kenneth_cukier_big_data_is_better_data?language=en#t-746603
- Links to large data sets, such as:
 - https://www.data.gov/
 - https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/
 - https://aws.amazon.com/datasets/
 - http://www.gapminder.org/data/
 - https://www.google.com/finance?ei=16GnWbGlGMW-jAHuy5iABQ

Begin by showing the TED talk linked above. Then lead a short discussion debriefing the video for about five minutes. Use the questions listed below if you need starting points.

Next, split the students up into small groups of 3 or 4 people. Each group should explore at least two different big data sites. For each site, the group should determine if the site contains big data, how the site visualizes the data, if the visualizations are helpful, and where the data is coming from. In addition, the group should download at least one large data set as a CSV and try to open it. Each group should submit their findings from each site and from the CSV download in writing at the end of class.

### Discussion Questions:
- How would you describe big data?
- How do large data sets impact the use of computational approaches?
- What are the security concerns with large data sets?
- How are large data sets transmitted?
- How are large data sets manipulated?
- What kinds of visualizations can be used for large data sets?

Aleister Crowley's Boleskine House
Aleister Crowley's Boleskine House
About Aleister Crowley
Once described as "the wickedest man on earth" is an magician and occultist who inspired a generation of rock stars and became a fascanating character for millions more, myself included.
Whilst I am not into the dark arts at all, and it is not something I will ever dabble with myself, I really wanted to make this video and to visit the notorious house that this man once lived in. It is regarded as being one of the most dangerously haunted buildings on earth, and the hauntings that have occured there are extreme.
Aleister (born Edward Alexander Crowley) was brought up into a religious and wealthy family, but he would lose both parents at an early age, and after inheriting their fortune, he would rebel against his strict christian upbringings.
He became skeptical with the church and the bible, and he would meet people in life that would inspire him to take an interest in Magik and in particular, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Having so much money at a young age, Aleister didn't spend it wisely, a lot of it going to prostitutes. But he had his eye on developing himself as a magician and wanted to live in a remote area where he could find his inner spirit.
He searched across the UK for suitable houses. His first choice was Yorkshire in the Dales, but soon found a former hunting lodge on the banks of Loch Ness close to the small village of Foyers, and he fell in love with it. He wanted it so badly, he even offered the previous owner twice the value of the house to persuade them to sell, in which they did. He paid a total of £2,000 in 1899 for a house that was valued at around £1,000.
Aleister would use this to practice his rituals, which involved summoning spirits to the house. And this is where it starts to get really dark.
About Boleskine House
The building already had a dark history before Aleister even set foot inside it.
The land that Boleskine is built on was once part of a 13th century Kirk, a Scottish word for church. It was small, as it only catered for the remote local area. But as Catholisism spread across the Scottish Highlands in the middle ages, it was felt that one would be needed here.
The Kirk had its own graveyard, just a few meters away, close to the shore of Loch Ness, and this is where paranormal activity would begin.
The small building, with blocked up window, used to store dwad bodies at Boleskine burial ground
Minister Thomas Houston (1648–1705) is said to have had the task of reburying corpses back into their graves after an evil wizard would raise them during the night. Raising the dead is quite an extreme claim, but it was also a time when grave robbing and body snatching was popular, so I personally believe graves were probably being targeted in this remote area under the cover of darkness. This is backed up by the fact there is a building located at the bottom of the graveyard with a small narrow window where bodies could be stored until they were decomposed enough to be buried, and also for someone to watch for robbers from.
At some point, there was a fire at the Kirk one Sunday morning and the place burned to the ground, killing people inside. This is not historically documented and some versions of the story vary. Some say it was carried out by arsonists who were banished from the local area by the church for being suspected devil worshippers. They would take their revenge by blocking the door out of the church and setting it on fire while people were inside.
During my time in the area, I researched this story, and found that there may be a lot of truth in it. During the building works on Boleskine House, nails were found here pre-dating the current structure and there is evidence that a church manse existed nearby. Why would there be a manse and a graveyard if there was no church?
Boleskine House was built as a hunting lodge in the 1760s by Archibald Campbell Fraser of Lovat. They were a wealthy family who were known to have many servants working for them at Boleskine. They lived in the house until the 1830s.
The first ghost story involves that of Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, the father of Archibald Campbell Fraser. He was among the Highlanders defeated by the crown at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and was captured and beheaded at the following year at the Tower of London. It is said that as he was being placed on the block, an overcrowded timber stand collapsed nearby crushing nine people to death. Fraser laughed just as the blade sliced through his neck, and coined the term "laughing his head off."
Whilst he never visted Boleskine House, his ghost is said to haunt it. Even Aleister Crowley is reported to have seen it in the Billiards room of the house during his years. In a humerous version, it is also said to be seen in the form of a bouncing head coming along the main hallway.
The other ghost story of this era comes from a small stable block at the rear of the property. It is said to be haunted by a young stable boy. It is unclear who exactly he is, or how he died, but he has been heard walking around in the stable block and mediums have also been drawn to his spirit.

The top floor of the stable block
About 30 years before Crowley lived in the house, a lady called Margaret Smythe lived there. She died after falling from a bedroom window whilst her husband was away on a hunting trip. However, I have heard a story that the husband confessed to a priest on his deathbed to killing her after an argument involving an accusation of adultry. He also confessed to raping a servant and forcing her to abort the unborn child. This is a story I have not read anywhere else, so I cannot verify if it is true.
During Crowley's years, as mentioned before, he is known to have created a temple space at the front of the property, but there was a problem – in order to perform the ritual correctly, he needed a north facing entrance. As you will see on the map, that while Boleskine House faces Loch Ness, the Loch itself runs at a 45 degree angle across Scotland, so the property actually faces more of a north western direction. Aleister had a small doorway extension built, which was angled north. It is a myth that he bought Boleskine because it faces north, because it doesn't. This was a modification he needed to make. Crowley also lay fine river sand across the patio, which many in the occult believe allows spirit footprints to become visible. Crowley is believed to have travelled to Inverness to get this sand from a shallow part of the River Ness.
An image from the side of the property. Notice the extension sticking out from the front, this is Crowley's north extension with a north facing door.
These rituals are said to have worked. The purpose of them was to envoke his Guardian Angel by summoning the 12 Kings and Dukes of Hell, to bind them and remove their negative influences from the magician's life. Every morning, Crawley would wake at 4am and perform in his temple space beside the north facing door. He would also claim that at the crack of dawn, he would observe footprints in the sand to see that spirit had in fact entered via this door. As a part of these rituals, Crawley would also abstain from eating many types of foods, which meant he only ate bread, was not allowe alcohol and also abstain from sex.
Crowley also claims to have summoned three demons into the property, but was protected from posession. These entities are said to have existed within the temple space room on the ground floor.
As these rituals are said to be extreme and very dangerous, I won't disclose fine details of what they entail.
These rituals are meant to last for six months, however, Crowley broke the cycle by leaving Boleskine House to go to visit a friend in Paris. In doing so, the circle was not comlete, and whatever he had brought into the property, remained.
When he returned, he is said to have noticed the building was different. Dark shadows were seen moving around the place, and he decided he could no longer live there.
His own lodge keeper, Hugh Gillies whom had remained on site during Crowley's trip to Paris is said to have become posessed and tried to murder his own wife and children. The effort failed, but within weeks, both of his children would die under mysterious circumstances.
A local butcher in Foyers would end up slicing his finger (or fingers, or thumb or even hand depending on which version of the story you read) whilst preparing a meat order sent to him from Boleskine House. Crowley had written to order down on a piece of scrap paper that he had scribbled some strange text onto, beleieved to be part of a verse used to envoke a demon.
One incident I found in my local research involved a fishing boat called The Pansy, which vanished one night in Loch Ness, killing those onboard. Boats had been using the Loch since the opening of the Caledonian canal to get from one side of Scotland to the other. For years, its sinking was a mystery. It was recently discovered by a team of divers directly in front of the shore by Boleskine Burial Ground…literally. If you see its sinking point, it is directly a straight line out from the shore. It is believed to have gone down in the night. Could this have coincided with Crowley's night time rituals?
He would soon sell up and leave, as he had realised that what he had done was out of his control.
Boleskine after Crowley
The house has since past through several owners, and stories of a curse has been told around the local area, and later turned the house into an internet talking point that has seen it broken into many times by urban explorers.
Boleskine became the heart of a scandal, called The Great Sausage scandal. It involved a businessman claiming to have a pig farm on the site under the company name "Loch Ness Foods", but debates still carry on about whether it really did exist. I was told by historian Elin Morgan at Boleskine that there were in fact pigs here, and they were left abandoned to die. In this case, when pigs have no food, they eat the dead or vulnerable pigs until only one is left.
In the 1960s, a retired Army Colonel called Edward Grant was living in the building. He had heard the stories but thought it was all a load of rubbish. However, he would soon start telling people that something dark was following him. He was found dead in the house shortly after. He'd blown his head off with a shotgun.
His servant had arrived at the house and seen the family dog playing with a bone. She took if off the dog and threw it in the bin, believing it to be from a piece of meat. When the police searched the house following Grant's death, they realised that the bone was actually the top part of his head.
A couple would shortly live in the house afterwards, but within a month, the woman had gone completely blind and her husband walked out on her.
In 1969, the rock star and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page bought the house. He was drawn to it by the stories of Aleister Crowley. It is known that Page did not spend a lot of his time there, but he is knwon to have had sessions with his band mates inside the property. One band member, John Paul Jones is said to have refused to set foot in the place.
It was Malcom Dent that Page put in charge of keeping the property going, and he is the one who encountered most of the paranormal activity. He regularly heard growling coming from outside of his bedroom door, but when he opened it to have a look, nothing would be there other than an icy blast of coldness. He also describes poltergeist activity where furniture would be found in different places as if dragged across the floor, and the carpets pulled up.
Many people believe the curse of Boleskine passed on to Led Zeppelin. John Bonham died of an overdose at the young age of 32, and Robert Plant was involved in a near fatal car accident in Greece. Yet mysteriously, at the same time that Plant had his car accident, it is rumoured that Jimmy Page was in Sicile visiting the Abbey of Thelema, a small house near Palermo that Aleister Crowley had setup as a magik school. The site is now abandoned after Crowley was banned from Italy by Mussolini and the Catholic Church after a 23 year old man called Raoul Loveday died during one of Crowley's rituals.
Jimmy Page, during his time living in Boleskine House, seen here with his dog by the burial ground.
Jimmy Page put the house on the market in 1991 for £250,000, and it was bought by Ronald and Annette MacGillivray in 1992, in what they described as a "very bad state."
The couple later ran the building as a small hotel until Ronald MacGillivray died in 2002, and claimed they never experienced any hauntings whilst they were there.
A Dutch millionaire called Trudy Piekaar-Bakker who made her wealth from selling Japanese car parts in Amsterdam would buy the house. She was very secretive and rarely talked to anyone other than a few local friends. She did however tell The Express that she didn't believe in ghosts.
On 23rd December 2015, broke out at Boleskine House destroying 60% of the building. It is believed that the blaze started in the kitchen area.
In July 2019, another fire tore through the remainder of the property almost completely shelling it. The police suspected arson, but nobody was ever charged. The fire started directly below Crowley's former bedroom.
Yet mysteriously, when I was shown around the building by historian Elin Morgan, she pointed at all of the doorways which have wooden frames around them. They were all completely charred and black with fire damage….except one. Crowley's north facing door, which was completely untouched.
The first fire at Boleskine in 2015, coming from the kitchen area.
Boleskine is now being restored by a group of volunteers, but not without controversey. There are many in the area that want it to be pulled down and never talked about again.
Yet strange goings on continue. Three contractors working on the roof have refused to go back after experiencing strange activity. Nearly all of the volunteers there have seen a black dog walking around the property which just vanishes.
My night in Boleskine was extreme. My main aim for the video was to debunk some of the internet claims, which I have done to some extent. At some point in the night, I received three bloody marks on my foot which I didn't notice until I got back to my hotel at 3am. Was this a claw mark? It is claimed that demonic scratches come in threes which is a mockery of the holy trinity.
The marks on my foot after the night at Boleskine.
I also tried to get a drone shot of the building for the video, but the drone started drifting away from the building, and an error message displayed as "Magnetic intererance". Could this be paranormal? I used the drone the next day to get some shots of Loch Ness without any bother.
Other content creators have broken into Boleskine ilegally and have experienced bad luck since doing so. I do not believe I have experienced anything like this so far, but I had permission to film inside and I also thanked the house verbally on video, and treated it with respect.
I did however catch unusual voices, and strange shadow movement in the building, as well as white whisps in the graveyard.
A white mist appears on camera in Boleskine burial ground. I was videoing whilst this photo was taken and you can see that nothing moved when the flash went off.
Watch the video to see my most extreme investigation I've ever done.
Visit Boleskine
Address: Boleskine House, Foyers, Inverness, IV2 6XT
Website: https://www.boleskinehouse.org
The house is located just off Military Rd, the road that runs along the south side of Loch Ness, and is about 19 miles by road from Inverness, and 15 miles from Fort Augustus in the other direction. Drive on the south side of the loch and you will find it. The house is gated so can be easily missed, easpecially if coming from the Fort Augustus end of the loch. If you are coming from that end, you will pass through the village of Foyers first, and then a minute or so later you will see the grave yard on your left a few seconds before you pass the gates to Boleskine house on your right.
If coming from Inverness, you will see a power station on your right a few seconds before you pass the gates of Boleskine on your left. If you see the burial ground, you've passed it.
There is a bus (#16) from Inverness that goes to Foyers and will pass directly past the property, but it doesn't run often.
Boleskine House is available for guided tours, and they can be arranged online and via their Facebook page. In fact, I was filming there for a full day and two cars pulled up within an hour of each other and it was both people wanting tours. They had no idea that the house was a building site, and believed they were going to break in and explore illegally!
At the time of writing, Boleskine House is a building site, with hopes of it being fully restored by 2023. They are raising money by donations and also from selling items sich as original materials of the house that are too damaged to be used again such as wood, granite and stones. You can own a piece of Crowley's house!

But there are lots of ginger fans out there, so there has to a recipe for Gingerbread on the channel and blog.
Gingerbread is usually made with fresh or ground ginger, spices and molasses for that rich color and flavor. This recipe from Alice Medrich has an unusual ingredient - milk chocolate, stirred into the batter. She describes the Gingerbread as a 'pure bolt of ginger heat' which is what you must expect considering that there is an entire half cup of fresh ginger in the cake! A cake meant for serious ginger lovers. Honey, molasses and brown sugar are the sweeteners which soften the heat, chopped milk chocolate lends it an exotic touch.
The recipe uses light unsulphured molasses. Since I was not able to source it in time, I have used jaggery liquid. You can find it at organic food stores nearby.
Please subscribe to my channel to watch a new video every Monday! Click here to subscribe!
So if you are a die hard fan of intense ginger, do try this recipe! A sweet, very spicy ginger cake with a tender crumb is what you can expect.
Preheat oven to 180C /350F. Line and grease a 9'' round /9'' square baking tin.Weigh all ingredients and line them up on the counter before you start mixing the batter.
Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda and ground ginger twice. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey,molasses and brown sugar. Stir in the fresh ginger. Whisk in the egg.
Whisk in the hot water and butter into the honey mixture.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Be sure it is not a chunk of gooey chocolate your toothpick has encountered!
The baking time may vary slightly in your oven. Do not overbake.
Cool the cake in the tin over a cooling rack.
When it is still very slightly warm, Invert the cake on the rack, peel the parchment. Reinvert on the serving platter,right side up. Serve warm plain or with a dollop of whipped cream /creme fraiche.
Note: Try using mixed spices along with a lesser quantity of ground ginger. I would suggest you halve the recipe and bake in a muffin tin. Taste and tailor the spices and ginger to your taste.
