An Exhaustive Timeline Of How Daphne's Protest Site Became An Endless Battle Longer Than The Actual Great Siege
By BeccaBG
Two days had passed since the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. On this day, people leave wreaths, flowers, notes, and candles as a sign of respect to her and her work. Some school children also leave their messages to her during the evening vigil.
Nobody could have guessed that something so civil and tender would stir so much public controversy.
A woman in red bashes the memorial, striking down letters, flowers, and even a picture of Daphne. She's Little Red Riding Hood with a vengeance, and my god is she mad.
The makeshift shrine lasted three months. Valletta local councillors started to complain, so the Civil Society Network announce plans to crowdfund a new memorial for Caruana Galizia in front of the law courts.
The chairperson of the Valletta 2018 Foundation, Jason Micallef, comes out and says that this will not happen.
Councillor Ray Azzopardi's attempt at having the memorial removed was shot down before it was even put to vote. Despite all the claims and noise that everyone is making, mayor Alexiei Dingli claims that it didn't have any legal foot to stand on.
Protestors of the memorial (yes, this became a thing) included photos of the late Dom Mintoff and the murdered victims of unsolved cases; Karin Grech and Raymond Caruana.
Labour supporters leave a note at the memorial, which read:
"To our beloved Mintoff, you are always in our heart, we are what we are today because of you. For that, we are grateful."
All of the photos are removed; Daphne, Dom Mintoff, Karin, and Raymond's alike. In the meantime, letters to Mintoff and Karin Grech are placed alongside messages demanding justice for Caruana Galizia's murder.
In a night ambush, cleaning troops are deployed to perform a memorial sweep. The next day activists rebuild it slowly throughout the day and then gather around it in the evening.
Nationalist MP Karol Aquilina asks the police to investigate the robbery of flowers and candles from the makeshift Valletta memorial through an email that he sends to Lawrence Cutajar and the Valletta police station.
Egrant allegations against the Muscat family were absolved. So posters showing former Leader of the Opposition Simon Busuttil, MEP David Casa, slain journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia and informant Maria Efimova are stuck onto the makeshift memorial.
The memorial has been removed again! They've also placed police barriers surrounding it, stopping people from restoring it.
It seems that the removal is in light of this evening's traditional Victory Day ceremony, where dignitaries will gather at the Great Siege Monument to pay homage to the Maltese people who perished in the Great Siege, the French blockade of Valletta and the Second World War.
A couple of hours after the memorial was blockaded, activists put it back up again. Simon Busuttil even picks out a photo of Daphne that was thrown in the bin, and put it back onto the memorial.
The entire monument now has been boarded up and blocked off. Shortly after the ceremony ends, workers begin setting up scaffolding, wooden boards and thick green material all around the Great Siege monument.
Activists place photos, candles and messages in honour of Daphne Caruana Galizia at seven national monuments across Malta.
They also get even more creative and, seeing the scaffold sheeting as their canvas, plaster a large photo of Daphne onto it with the words 'She investigated them…they killed her'.
As a woman leaves flowers by the memorial, an elderly man snatches them and attempts to remove them.
The police barriers that were blocking off the site were removed, and so activists raise a large banner demanding justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia on the memorial.
Over 60 lawyers, including former Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, petition a Maltese court to prevent the removal of the makeshift memorial.
They stripped off the police barriers. Blogger-journalist Manuel Delia reports the robbery of the banner. After investigating, the police confirm that it was removed at the request of Justice Minister Owen Bonnici.
The police order the items to be returned.
On the one year anniversary of Daphne's murder, a makeshift memorial is placed outside the boarded-up Great Siege Memorial in Valletta.
Veteran BBC journalist John Sweeney has this to say; "The Maltese government can bin the flowers, trash the photographs and snuff out the candles but it can never kill the light that Daphne shone," he said. "Not allowing people to grieve at a shrine doesn't only look bad but makes it seem as though they're trying to hush up a murder."
The makeshift memorial was removed again, but this time was replaced by a Heritage Malta banner promoting the Great Siege monument.
Justice Minister Owen Bonnici has the following to say on the issue; "When people organise a manifestation, they usually clear the site after making their message clear. When they don't, we're obliged to clear it ourselves at the end of the day."
An iron fence covered in yellow fabric is erected around the Great Siege Monument. Bonnici says that the restoration works will be completed in time for Christmas.
The night before, activists spray graffiti on the yellow hoarding. During the day, public authorities turn the hoarding around so that the text is facing the monument. Activists then spray the other side.
A vigil takes place this evening, and activists hurl the following insults; "night after night after night, Owen fucking Bonnici, the minister of fucking justice. Fuck you, Owen Bonnici. Fuck you!"
And this is where we are now.
Something that started off as an impromptu makeshift memorial by a group of school children has become the symbol of an overblown power struggle between the public authorities and a group of activists demanding justice for Daphne.
But how long can this tug-o-war last, and which side is going to topple over first?

Maria Nafpliotou is a Greek actress. In addition to lead roles in Greek television and movies, she has delivered many leading roles on the stage, and is also a dancer.

Nafpliotou was born in Athens and still resides there. She took up dancing while at school, initially with the Rodopi Kouvari Dancing School but continued her studies at the Rallou Manou Professional Dancing School, whence she graduated. After she completed her studies, she started her career as a professional dancer as a member of Rallou Manou's Greek Chorodram (1987-1992) and a member of the modern dancing group Andromeda (1990-1992). From 1992 to 1996 she was the lead dancer for the dance theater group Roes, formed by Sofia Spyratou.

In 1992 she made her first appearance on the big screen in the movie Island. In 1993 she was the leading lady of the short-length film From Now On (Apo do kai pera) by Maria Douza. From 1996 to 1998 she studied drama at the George Kimoulis Modern Theater Of Athens drama school. She had previously had acting lessons at the Giannis Rigas workshop. In 1996 she appeared on television for the first time, taking part in the TV film Niovi Was Dancing Her Life () by Alexandros Papailiou. However, it was in 1998-1999 that she became widely known, starring in the critically acclaimed Mega Channel television series The Throne Room (I Aithousa tou Thronou) as Glafke, a young woman returning to the Greek islands in the 1960s to find out more about her father, who had been executed as a partisan during World War 2. The series, directed by Pigi Dimitrakopoulou, became internationally famous for its multi-dimensional storyline, lush photography, and insights into generational change during the 1960s. Since then she has starred in a number of TV productions, namely Stand by Me (Meine dipla mou) by Reina Eskenazi and The 10 again by Pigi Dimitrakopoulou. Her movie career includes 3 films: Chariton's Choir, for which she received a Best Actress Award in the 22nd Alexandreia's Film Festival, Soul Kicking (Best Supporting Actress National Award) and Dying In Athens (Pethainontas stin Athina).

In 1999 she began to make an impact on the stage, appearing first as Catherine Holly in Tennessee Williams' Suddenly, Last Summer at the New Stage of the  National Theatre of Greece under the direction of Korais Damatis. In the summer of the same year she took the role of Antigone in Euripides' Foinisses, a production of the  National Theatre of Northern Greece in Epidavros, Herodion and other ancient theatres. Since then she has appeared in Shakespeare's  Twelfth Night, Love's Labours Lost, King Lear, Dostoevsky's The Idiot, Ibsen's The Lady From the Sea, Molière's Don Juan, Euripides'  Iphigeneia in Tauris  and  The Trojan Women, and Aeschylus' Oresteia. Much of her work has been as a member of the successful Experimental Theatrical Group of the National Theatre of Greece under the direction of Stathis Livathinos, with whom she continued working in Mikhail Lermontov's  Masquerade, in J.M.Synge's Playboy of the Western World and in Carmen, an adaptation of Bizet's opera and Mérimée's work. In September 2010 she portrayed Dushanka in Goran Bregovic's monologue Diaries of a Sad Queen, successfully presented in Herodion.

She has also continued to dance, including in two dance theatre pieces written and directed by Constantinos Rigos.

Playing an ancient Greek high priestess, she lit the Olympic torch for the 2008 Beijing Olympics using the sun's rays, starting the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay.
On October 22, 2009, she repeated the performance, starting the 2010 Winter Olympics torch relay.

SEOUL, Jan. 12 (Korea Bizwire) – Pantech Co., a struggling South Korean handset maker, said Tuesday it is targeting to post annual sales of 1.5 trillion won (US$1.23 billion) in 2018 by reforming itself and more aggressively tapping into new markets and business areas.
Once South Korea's No. 3 smartphone maker, Pantech was placed under court receivership in August 2014 due to growing debt, but a local consortium acquired the firm for 49.6 billion won in October last year, paving the way for its normalization.
Two months later, a new Pantech set sail, vowing to turn itself around and get back on track by focusing on budget smartphones.
The company is aiming to generate sales in earnest from the second half of this year, return to profit starting in 2017 and generate sales of 1.5 trillion won a year later, with its operating profit reaching 75 billion won, he said.
Pantech has not launched new smartphone models since May 2014, when it showcased the Android-powered Vega Iron 2.
Pantech managed to sell telecom components during the receivership period, but it has been posting net losses since as expenditures exceeded earnings.
Pantech, however, has yet to give details about its new smartphone, including the launch schedule and specifications.
According to Chung, Pantech said it will focus on four areas in the future: the domestic smartphone business, Internet of Things, overseas joint ventures and wearable devices.
The company will focus on the mid-end smartphone segment as its new strategy for smartphones and tap the Internet of Things and wearables segment as new growth engines, he said.

Axel's Gameplan
With Glen Rice (47% 3P) and Peja Stojakovic (43% 3P) on the wings, a simple high-low offence should stretch the defence. With Arvydas Sabonis's size, athleticism and shooting touch operating in the high post/screen game, Kevin McHale should have plenty of room to operate his post game (26PPG on 60.4% FG%) on the low block. Off ball movement from Rice and Peja will trap any defender trying to help on the ball, especially with staggered back screens, with open threes. Defending the ball in the hands of Oscar Robertson is impossible for any single defender, so help will have to come. The Big O, the only player to ever average a triple double for a full season, will pressure the defence with his elite scoring and passing.
Against a front court that lacks muscle, the 7'3" 292lbs Sabonis, will power his way to rebounds and deep post positioning. A great passer with perimeter range, Sabonis offers pick and pop, low post or high post options to initiate the offence against the smaller JimiCliff bigs. Manu, Gervin, and Amar'e all offer high octane offence off the bench, along with athleticism, intelligence, and ball movement.
Defensively, the length/size of my team will contest shots and with elite rebounders cleaning the glass, each trip should be one and one. By controlling the glass, we will be able to control the tempo and use our size and skill to defeat team JimiCliff.
JimiCliff's Gameplan
This series is going to come down to defence.
Up and down, my squad is strong defensively, with multiple All-NBA defenders (DJ, Bird, Brow and Spree), elite rim protection (Brow), excellent one-on-one post defenders (Vlade and Sheed), and solid positional players (Hill and Horry).
The starting lineup will be set to maximize the D: all-time great defender Dennis Johnson slowing down the big O; Spree, with the quickness, strength and tenacity to make life tough for Gervin; Rasheed, who, with his combo of size, b-ball IQ and athleticism, is the perfect post defender to match up with McHale; and Vlade, who's big enough to handle Sabonis, but more importantly has the European training that will allow him to be comfortable and effective checking Arvydas at the 3pt line.
Defence, though, is Axel's team's glaring weakness. Most critically: there isn't a wing on the roster that has a hope of guarding Larry Bird. Peja and Rice were average defenders at best. Neither Gervin (6'7'', 180 lbs.) nor Manu (6'6'', 210 lbs.) were any kind of defensive force, and both would be undersized against Bird (6'9'', 220 lbs.), an all-time great scorer who'd be able to punish them outside and inside.
Guarding Bird is an issue Axel's team can't possibly solve. It's the only significant mismatch you can find amongst the two teams, and it's more than enough to swing this matchup my way.

Grant Hill, Spree, Bird and Horry all have the quickness and intelligence to maneuver around and through those screens, and would be able to stick with the relatively slow-footed Rice and Peja.

I really doubt Sabonis was 292 in his pre-NBA days - 292 seems right for the, uh, 'un-athletic' version the NBA saw, but not the supposedly nimble European version.
Defending the ball in the hands of Oscar Robertson is impossible for any single defender, so help will have to come.
Maybe impossible for an average, or even above-average defender, but not an all-time great like DJ. This is how he did covering Magic (an even tougher cover than the Big O) in the 1984 Finals: 'DJ took credit for playing smothering defense on Hall of Fame Lakers playmaker Magic Johnson, limiting him to a sub-average 17 points in the last four games, and being at least partly responsible for several of the Laker point guard's game-deciding errors in Games 2, 4 and 7.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis...te-magicbio-17
Defensively, the length/size of my team will contest shots and with elite rebounders cleaning the glass, each trip should be one and one.
It just isn't true - there simply isn't any length to contest Bird's shots. Axel's wings max out at 6'7'', and Bird was 6'9''. Once again: the Bird mismatch is the difference maker here.
Axel's In Game Adjustments
"Vlade, who's big enough to handle Sabonis, but more importantly has the European training that will allow him to be comfortable and effective checking Arvydas at the 3pt line" - when they faced off as starters in the 1988 Olympics gold medal game, Vlade put up 11 points, 7 rebounds, while Sabonis put up 20 points, 15 rebounds in a 76-63 win for Sabonis.
Sabonis, at 7'3, 292 lbs (as referenced on NBA.com for his Hall of Fame induction), is simply too large for the smaller Divac to match physically, let alone handle the skills that have been called (quote from a Grantland article) "He had the skills of Larry Bird and Pete Maravich, the athleticism of Kareem, and he could shoot the 3-point shot; He could pass and run the floor, dribble." - http://grantland.com/features/arvyda...-strange-trip/
"there simply isn't any length to contest Bird's shots. Axel's wings max out at 6'7'', and Bird was 6'9''. Once again: the Bird mismatch is the difference maker here." - The 6'9" Peja is obviously taller than 6'7", but with size advantages at starting PG, SG, and C all contributing to the overall length, Dennis Johnson's inept 3 point shooting (career 17.2%) and passing (2.8 APG) allows the 6'5, 205 lbs Oscar Robertson to sag off completely to pressure Bird as a secondary defender.
Oscar Robertson, clearly a tougher match-up than Magic due to his 1961-1962 averages 30.8 PPG (higher than any season by Bird and not even Oscar's best scoring year), 11.4 APG (when assists were harder to score), and 12.5 RPG (higher than anyone on JimiCliff's roster), is the most dynamic player on the court and has a 20 lbs (listed weight) and 1 inch height advantage over DJ. JimiCliff cannot defend the Big O with single coverage, leaving opportunities for Oscar to score, hit open 3PA with Rice/Peja/Manu, find inside looks for McHale/Sabonis/Stoudemire or find 4x NBA scoring Champ Gervin anywhere in between.
So RR faithful, who wins this game?

I don't want to vote against bird here but I think bringing hill off the bench is a mistake and Davis off the bench is a mistake. Bench is really small now. I think amare goes nuts on anyone you bring in against him.
I think in a series bird wins this but voting axel.
Good game guys.

Good matchup. I also like Jimi's team more with Hill starting, I think he was bad matchup for Rice. I liked Davis starting too, though I'm not sure if I'd start him instead of Sheed or Divac. Maybe Divac helps with rebounding more than Sheed? That's important against Sabonis. But Davis / Sheed would be harder for Sabonis to defend, and they are both long, quick, you could try mostly fronting Sabonis with them.
Sabonis outplayed, maybe you could say dominated Divac multiple times in FIBA, so I think I might've went with Davis / Sheed just because it's unknown, Divac - Sabonis is too known and not in a good way for Divac.
With Sabonis, I think the key is to deny him the ball in the low post, because if he gets it close enough to the rim, he has a hundred finishing moves, huge size and soft touch, he'll probably make it, hooks with both hands, finger roll, bank shot off the board, simple turnaround jumper, you name it. I think Sheed / Davis might be an interesting combo to throw at him, two long guys, one fronts him, the other is quick and long enough to crowd him if necessary for a bit.
I don't want to overrate Sabonis here, but he did play well in the NBA even as an old rookie. He was clearly a star level center, just played limited minutes, around 20-12 per 36 with very good efficiency, great passing, good shooting, some rim protection in those first years. If he enters the NBA a little younger, a bit more athletic, adjusts to the NBA at a younger age, I think it's reasonable to think that he'd be at least a Yao level player.
That Walton quote that 19 year old Sabonis was as athletic as Kareem, I doubt it, though I don't think I've seen a game of Sabonis as a 19 year old. At 20, he definitely wasn't anywhere close to Kareem's athleticism, but he was more athletic than in the NBA. Then again, Sabonis added a lot of weight in his late teens, so maybe when Walton saw him at 19, he was that athletic. This is Sabonis at 17:
Very thin, by 20 he was much more muscular. Anyway, that weight and power was important for Sabonis, so I think his prime is after 20 at some point, and at that time, he was nowhere as athletic as Kareem, but much stronger.
I think his prime is either in 1986ish, before injuries, or early-mid 90s. I think he was more skilled in early-mid 90s, more post moves, more... mental maturity maybe (he's an emotional guy, he could get easily rattled especially as a young guy), but he was thinner and more athletic as a 20-21 year old and could already shoot 3s, make great passes, score in the paint over big guys in a variety of ways. So it's debatable, when exactly was he at his prime.
I also think that Sabonis / Oscar combo fits nicely, Oscar's bread and butter as a scorer was off screen shooting, and Sabonis is a great huge screen setter. Oscar played huge minutes in a very fast ball era though, no way he's a 30-10-10 or something guy today, maybe more like 20-10-5. Also he dominated the ball even more than someone like CP3, and he would have to share it more in today's game. But I think he'd be a very good player, and he played hard on both ends, great footwork defensively.
Overall, I like team Axel offense a lot, two great scorers in the post, both with shooting range, good screens for Oscar, a lot of shooting everywhere, good passing. Defensively, bigs and Oscar are solid, Peja maybe average because of IQ, Rice I think was bad.
Guarding Bird will be a major issue. But I feel that there are too many subpar shooters and bad shot selection around Bird. Team Jimi has much better defense, but on the other end I think it kind of helps defend itself a bit. Tell Peja or maybe Oscar to do their best on Bird and send help a lot, and hope that Spree ends up taking a lot of midrange jumpers and 3s.
It's a close call, but I'll go with Team Axel here. I think with Grant Hill and Davis starting I might've gone the other way, I'm not sure.

A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock
I really like this matchup, but overall I really like the problems that Axel's team can cause to Jimi's defense. Although he has bird, I really feel like Axel's team has the drive to pull this one out

Switched mine up last minute and went with Axel ... Sorry Jimi! Haha
Jimis team just doesn't have that one guy who will look to get everyone involved and make his teammates better, and with this type of format, you need that in my opinion ... for Jimi, I actually envision alot of the offense going through Vlade, with Sprewell taking on the majority of the playmaking and ball distibution, but if Spree is the guy with the ball in his hands, then there's a problem. He didn't really speak at all to how he would involve Bird more in the offense, and Bird should have been the focus for anything related to the offense.
Good matchup though guys! Really enjoyed reading the write-ups and counters!

I'm torn on this one. Jimi's got the team that I think would win but Axel argued better.
This was close but going with Jimi on this one.. I don't think Axel has anyone that can stop Bird, yet I think a combination of DJ and Sprewell can do enough of a job on the Big "O" to slow him down. I also can't discount Big Shot Rob coming off the bench. Bird to Horry for a clutch 3 to ice the game is bound to happen in this game.
dos doc come break ties?
what's going on with this tie? how much time is left? maybe a half hour by half hour reminder for members to come vote. this is tense

Brentwood's Whetstone falls in foreclosure
Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 7:00am CDT Modified: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 7:22am
Nashville Business Journal - by Jenny Burns Staff Writer
A Brentwood housing development with million-dollar homes, Whetstone, is in foreclosure.
Developers say this is the first major development in Brentwood to go into foreclosure during the current recession, and the property owners had been trying to sell the project.
Developer Sedona Investments LLC bought the 157-acre property in August 2005 for $9.4 million. James Cross, who is listed as the developer of Whetstone who took out the loans, did not immediately return calls Monday.
Homes in Whetstone, which is located off Edmondson Pike in Brentwood, start at $900,000.
The 141-lot development was appointed to a successor trustee in June, according to Williamson County records.
The development was sold on the Williamson County courthouse steps on Thursday to Fifth Third Bank for $7 million, says Tony Marble, a real estate agent and builder who is selling a home in Whetstone and attended the courthouse sale Thursday.
The Whetstone foreclosure has not yet been recorded in county records.
Fifth Third was the property's lender, making at least two loans to Sedona for $6.1 million and $4.5 million, according to Williamson County records.
Four homes have been built in Whetstone. One of them is occupied, and the remaining three are for sale, Marble says.

Whilst it is obvious that as you travel through different countries you can observe the differences in culture, language and people. Sometimes these begin to blur and start to become the same, some much odder differences then begin to shine through.
In the UK we sometimes like to think that we are different. Like most countries do. We have our identity, our pride and our faults. The media makes us appear that we are unique in our problems and our issues. Our thoughts on the Iraq war, the economy, and immigration appear to be our own. But quite obviously this is not the case. Every country you visit shares the exact same views. But there are more things that seem very different but are in fact the same.
In Europe and North America there is a desire for people to have a good tan. I do not say this out of jealousy as for me to tan takes about six months of travelling, but in many of the publications and advertisements you see it's about having a nice tan - a Mediterranean look perhaps. The shops are full of tanning lotions, sun-blocks that can give you that bronze look and even tablets that claim to make you go darker quicker.
When you travel to Asia it's a completely different story; or is it? Yes there are sun blocks and lotions, but not to help you tan, but to help you look white. There are hundreds of different brands of whitening and bleaching agents to help get that West Factor. In fact it can be incredibly difficult to purchase face wash or shower gel that does not contain 'whitening agents'. I for one do not need any help to get more whiter.
But yet, with a 10,000 mile gap, one side of the world wants to look like the other - and vice versa.
What does this all come down to, and is Asia different to the west in its reasonings?
In most of Asia you were perceived to be poor if you had a tan. This is because you would be someone who works out in the fields and rice paddies. Someone of wealth would never work outside.
The same is for those on the other side of the world. For us, wealth is shown through vacations you take abroad, coming back with a great tan whilst those who cannot afford to travel still have their indigenous skin colour.
This belief has transitioned over time and whilst it could have faded out it is driven further with the help from marketing and advertisers in Asia like Nivea, for example, whom will scream from the roof tops with their flash advertising about how great it is to have pure white skin, whilst on the other side of the world Nivea will scream how it's all about having that bronze glow.
A friend of mine, who whilst not being born in Asia was of Asian decent felt the need to follow this trend. She often tried to whiten her skin, wore false contacts to colour her eyes. All this to be different. She needn't had to. She was beautiful, intelligent and smart and just needed to be reminded of that. I have another friend who is English that tries so hard to be brown. Absorbing every ounce of sunlight that is available to them or using tanning salons. Two people trying so hard to be the other.
Whilst everyone is not trying to be like the other or trying to be different this is one of the things that makes me realise how we are all the same. We all share the same dreams and desires, go through the same problems and turmoil. Yet on other smaller bizarre things we can be very different.
I take for granted the luxury I have of being a native English speaker. I don't have the difficult challenges of learning it as second language - but yet speaking English to another English speaker can be quite different.
A close American friend often asks me to say certain words in English as they are pronounced so different to her own and we both mock each other for our own vernacular and the way we spell things. The way I use trolley (to denote shopping cart), chips (instead of fries), cinema (for movie theatre), petrol (instead of gas), and Autumn (instead of fall).
The same differences are here in Australia too. I have learnt through my new friends words that made no sense to me before - but do now. Thongs (for flip-flops), Doona (for duvet) and Bottleshop (off-licence / liquor store). But more bizarrely for me is the term CBD (central business district). Three letters that I thought would not be seen again after my high school geography coursework on the small town of Wombwell in England. "Are you going to the CBD later?" is often used in conjunction with the more recognised "Are you going into town?".
I don't think I've been blind in the past to the obvious differences in language. Like many British I have been frustrated when the spellchecker switches to "American English" all the time. I think it's that I've never needed to think about it that much until I began travelling. Often using English words in Asian countries can be confusing to those that live there and you have to switch to American English instead as it's most commonly taught in schools and beamed to the TV sets of homes through imported episodes of Friends, NCIS and How I Met Your Mother. Even today I for one still find myself using words like mall, cab, subway but I'm still far from calling flip flops thongs!
Of course there are many more significant (and important) differences and similarities that you do observe when travelling, and far too serious a topic for me to comment and invite debate, but it was colour and color that really stood out the most for me.
So which is the correct spelling? Well it's in fact "Color", which was the original Latin spelling - the UK took the Old French spelling which itself is derived from Gaulish, Frankish and Latin.
Always reading your updates Dave, they're all so interesting!
Hope you're having a wicked time buddy and keep them coming!

The pure, light-filled spaces of a Cornish house by Marion Lichtig
Making the most of a series of delays, interior designer Marion Lichtig has collaborated with the owners of this newbuild near Padstow to create a coastal retreat with an established feel, thanks to a blend of vintage textiles and decorative antiques
By Hatta Byng
Paul Massey
In today's fast-paced world, many interior designers are taxed with punishingly short deadlines. But when the London-based Marion Lichtig was asked to design her clients' Cornish holiday home, she was faced with the opposite scenario. "Planning permission was drawn out and, even after the first dig, the project took three years,' she says. As a result, the job evolved organically, which is just how Marion likes to work. Patience was the key.
Today, the stone house stands squarely in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, its quartet of french windows facing south-west across landscaped lawns to the Camel estuary. The clients bought the site in 2000 and originally wanted a state-of-the-art modern house there, but the planners turned that down in favour of the second option, a traditional Cornish structure. Marion was brought in early, so she and the architect, Duncan Mackenzie of Macken zie Wheeler, were able to collaborate closely. "The aim was for a seaside-meets-country mood, emphasising the wonderful light,' Marion says. The owner concurs: 'We wanted pure spaces that wouldn't fight with the views beyond.'
The client and her family are London based, so this was intended as a comfortable holiday retreat. My husband grew up in Cornwall and this really is home,' she says. "We already had a major commitment to the area.' And that commitment came early on. The minute that planning permission was granted, local stone for the house was quarried from a nearby farm and old Delabole slate, used for the hall floor, was sourced from local reclamation yards. As a result, the house feels genuinely part of the landscape. 'I was able to choose all the surfaces, including the amazing Dinesen floor boards,' says Marion. Cut from 20-metre-high Douglas fir trees, the planks are extra long, and have a soft white bloom.

The long build process was a bonus. Early on, Marion commenced furniture shopping with her client. We were squirrelling things away long before the first dig,' she says. "If you wait until all the decoration is done, it's too late. It takes time to amass all the perfect things.' Marion and her client had originally met in 2000 and since then Marion had designed the client's Chelsea home and her chalet in Verbier, so stylistically they were in tune. She knew my look and she trusted me,' says Marion. So when, on occasion, she emailed her client with a photograph of a particular piece and the words 'We have to have it, the answer, every time, was a 'yes'. The furniture came mostly from London shops and antiques fairs.
A walk through the house reveals it has a brilliantly planned layout that really works. On the ground floor there is a hall, kitchen/dining room, drawing room, family room, boot room and cloakroom, while upstairs there are five en-suite bedrooms. The large kitchen is the owner's favourite room. 'It is fantastic for entertaining and is simple without feeling cold,' she says. Marion chose a Bulthaup kitchen and teamed it with a custom-made table built from the same Dinesen floorboards. 'It is actually two tables, which gives flexibility for entertain ing,' she says. The bathrooms are deliberately streamlined, in wood or Italian limestone.
Marion has worked as an interior designer for more than 25 years and prior to that studied fashion at what is now Central Saint Martins. She has an encyclopaedic knowledge of fabrics and a fondness for natural fibres. Early on, she bought armfuls of French vintage linen sheets, some of which were made into curtains, others into quilts and throws. She had one splurge in the main bedroom, where there are curtains in a glamorous silk from Tissus d'Hélène. "I enjoy that juxtaposition of a simple curtain style teamed with grand fabric," she says. Decorative details are subtle. Marion's characteristically muted palette - bone white to oatmeal - works perfectly with the Cornish light. Walls are painted throughout in 'Quiet White from Papers and Paints – 'my secret weapon', confides Marion-with ceilings in a brilliant white. "That contrast gives a visual break,' she says.
Once the clients were ready to move in, the house was furnished in a trice. Before I met Marion, I always wanted modern things, the owner says. "She showed me that mixing antique and modern gives softness and depth.' The drawing room has a delightful combination of periods and silhouettes. One gently sloping Georgian armchair has been upholstered in vintage linen. 'That was one of the "must have" buys,' says Marion. So too was the scallop backed nineteenth-century chair, 'Because it reminded me of the sea. As a neat contrast, the sofa is linear, designed by Marion and custom made. Design isn't just about choosing fabrics,' she says. 'It is also about movement and atmos phere, and everything working in the right space.'

When it came to certain details, however, Marion took her time. Originally, the drawing room curtains were made up in sheer linen. But they didn't drape properly, so we took them down and had them lined,' she says. Ever the perfectionist, she also had the nineteenth century hall sofa reupholstered a second time, after the specified leather looked 'hideous'. Above all, it is the owner who appreciates her attention to detail. 'Marion is good at telling you when not to buy,' she says. "Then she takes care to find the right things.' For a holiday home that will be revisited time and time again, this quiet patience has certainly paid off. 'It is simple, practical and comfortable,' concludes Marion. 'My client wanted the house to be full of family and friends. And it is.'

The drawing room encapsulates the 'seaside-meets country' look of the interior, with its nineteenth century scallop-backed chair and rustic fireplace.
The zinc-topped coffee table in the drawing room is from The Conran Shop; Marion Lichtig designed the sofa beyond it, in a simple style to contrast with the antique furniture.
Marion covered a nineteenth-century sofa (below) and a Georgian armchair (here) in rough vintage linen; the diamond-pattern rug is from Gallery Yacou in the Fulham Road.
The entrance hall is laid with slate from a local reclamation yard; above it hangs an antique lantern from James Worrall in Marylebone.
The tables in the kitchen were made to Marion's design using the same Dinesen timber that was used for the flooring; the chairs are 'Eames DSW'.
A double set of french windows opens on to the terrace.
The antique leather armchair in the family room was found at Sarah Meysey-Thompson Antiques.
The large wooden shell in the upstairs corridor, from The Trading Room in Fulham, adds to the coastal mood.
Marion designed the headboards in this spare room echo the nineteenth-century Dutch, harlequin-painted armoire.
In the main bedroom the simple headboard is covered in Abbott & Boyd linen; the bedside table came from John Bird Antiques in Petworth.
The bateau bath in this spare bathroom came from The Water Monopoly.
The nineteenth-century chaise longue in the main bedroom has been left 'as is', for a relaxed feel; the curtain fabric is 'Tulipano' from Tissus d'Hélène.
The house was built from locally quarried stone.
The terrace is furnished with woven willow chairs from Gloster Furniture.

Sakur Khan
Sakur Khan & Group
Melodies of the Golden Desert
Sakur Khan had always aspired to be a musician and was mostly tutored at home. Like all other members of Manganiyaar community, his family has been singing for the royal families since generations. Satto Khan's inspiration has been his uncle, Nazeer Khan and he wants this art to pervade into the future generations. Satto Khan belongs to the Alamkhana gharana of the Manganiyaars. He has been singing since the age of 8. Simple, humble and not very talkative, Satto Khan explains about his music with a sense of calm, and with a composed articulated manner.
As he talks about the Alamkhana history, Sakur Khan explains, that there are four sub-castes even amongst Manganiyaars, namely, "Bhand": Jesters in the royal courts, "Nagarchi": People who play the 'Nagada', a sort of large drum, 'Dagga' people who played the dholak, and 'Chandani'. His group has performed many times in the royal courts and the songs are customized for the Maharajas. Unlike other groups who combine classical and folk raagas, his group is only into pure folk music, and follow the traditional system of 6 main Raagas, and 30 raaginis. (wives of raagas, as per mythology). At times, singing styles like Dadra is improvised on the spot.
This 36-year-old also teaches in Gunsaar organization, setup for musical training of the Manganiyaar community. One of his main principles has been to always lend a helping hand to others, as he believes that God watches over all of us. Sakur khan is a song composer too, and through his songs, he pays a tribute to women and their "Shringaar", which literally means ornamentation, or the way the women deck up themselves to please their husbands. One can almost feel the pain of these women who dutifully abide by their husbands' whims and fancies, yet, their love for them is unending, and their devotion towards them never dies, just like the music of Jaisalmer.
Such is the music of Jaisalmer, embedded in its golden sand dunes and engraved in every stone of the majestic living fort-city. Manganiyaar communities like that of Sakur Khan have kept their tradition alive through all these years through Guru-Shishya parampara, (teacher disciple tradition). They have been entertaining the royal families since generations and their contribution to musical history is as vast as the Thar desert itself. The elegant use of poetry and numerous metaphors is what makes them different. Every nook and corner of Jaisalmer is filled with several Sakur Khans who are trying to carve a niche with their individual uniqueness. This group has young and passionate folk musicians who are always keen to learn new aspects of their musical heritage.
The music is infinite, and the possibilities of his melodies are endless. Music itself is so vast that it cannot be confined to a textbook and standardized, as there are no set standards to learning music which is imbibed in his blood through generations. India is known for its colors and various layers of culture, and the culture of Jaisalmer is rich enough with harmonious melodies promulgating in unforgettable renditions.As Jawahar Lal Nehru says, "India is like a palimpsest", with layers and layers of thoughts and reverie inscribed on it. Such is this music of Manganiyaars, which have layers and layers of voices, history, folklore, love and melodies. This land of Jaisalmer, which is so rich in history, music plays a vital role in shaping their livelihood, and their life in Jaisalmer. This is the music, the culture which deserves to be preserved since it's a part of the intangible heritage, and a vital part of the socio-economic fabric of Jaisalmer.

All the converted signed binary two's complement numbers
How to convert signed binary numbers in two's complement representation from binary system to decimal
To understand how to convert a signed binary number in two's complement representation from the binary system to decimal (base ten), the easiest way is to do it by an example - convert binary, 1101 1110, to base ten:
In a signed binary two's complement, first bit (leftmost) indicates the sign, 1 = negative, 0 = positive. The first bit is 1, so our number is negative.
Get the signed binary representation in one's complement, subtract 1 from the initial number:
1101 1110 - 1 = 1101 1101
Write bellow the positive binary number representation in base two, and above each bit that makes up the binary number write the corresponding power of 2 (numeral base) that its place value represents, starting with zero, from the right of the number (rightmost bit), walking to the left of the number, increasing each corresonding power of 2 by exactly one unit:
(0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0)(10) =
(32 + 2)(10) =
Signed binary number in two's complement representation, 1101 1110 = -34(10), a signed negative integer in base 10

Donald J. Seymour (1961 – 26 June 2020) was a Canadian jockey in Thoroughbred horse racing who is the only jockey in history to win two Canadian Triple Crowns.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario and raised in Etobicoke, Ontario, Don Seymour began his professional racing career riding in Western Canada. From 1981 to 1986 he was the leading rider in Alberta. In 1988, he finished second aboard Play The King in the Breeders' Cup Sprint. In 1989 he signed on with Kinghaven Farms where that year he teamed up with trainer Roger Attfield to become the first in twenty-six years to capture Canada's Triple Crown series. Following their 1989 Triple Crown with the colt With Approval, in 1990 they repeated the feat with Izvestia, an achievement that has never been equalled.

Don Seymour retired in 1994 having won the Sovereign Award as Canada's top jockey a record four times. In 1995 he was voted the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award in recognition of his significant contribution to the sport of horse racing. In 1999, he was inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.

He died on 26 June 2020, at the age of 58, from complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A Lifestyle, Travel and Food Blog by a Swedish Fisherman's daughter living just outside London with her husband, three kids and dog. 🇸🇪🇬🇧 Why are the Brits and Swedes so good at queuing? Do we eat meatballs every day? Why are Mince Pies called Mince Pies? Is IKEA the Swedish Mothership?
Jessica is a Swede living in London. She is a freelance Writer, Voice Over artist and Translator. Currently working on a project for Netflix. Mother of Three. Wife. Xennial. Jess blogs about everyday life - but mainly what it's like being part of a Swenglish family. Like why the Brits and Swedes are so good at queuing and whether IKEA really is the Mothership. All things Scandinavian. All things British. She is very passionate about Film, Travel and Food.
"Så mörk är natten i midvintertid.
Men se, då nalkas Lucia.
Hon kommer, den goda, med ljuset hit.
Hon kommer med hälsning om julefrid.
Yesterday was Santa Lucia day – the celebration of light. It's one of my favourite Swedish traditions. The origins is the story of Saint Lucy and marks the beginning of Christmastide. It always falls on the 13th December.
The legend of the martyr Saint Lucy is rather grim. During the Roman Empire, the Christians were being persecuted. Many hid in the catacombs, and Saint Lucy would venture down there with trays of food. As it was so dark, but in need of full use of her hands, she wore a candle lit wreath on her head to light up her way with her tray of food. She was later killed for refusing to marry a pagan.
Then we patiently wait for Lucia to enter the church. Wearing a white dress (white representing innocence. Cheerful!) and a red sash (red symbolising the blood of martyrdom. Again, cheerful.), and a gold wreath/crown with candles on her head (the candles symbolises the fire that refused to take Saint Lucy's life….Yep.), walking at the head of the procession.
And it gets me every time.
The Nordic countries have very little sunlight in winter.
And from the darkness that engulfs the church, suddenly this glorious light appears, gradually filling the space. The heat from the candles warming us.
And the singing. The beautiful hymns. Softly in the beginning and then progressively building in strength.
This year I was invited to talk about Lucia at my daughter's school. I dressed up in my white dress and crown, (yes, I have my own set!), brought extra white dresses and candles for our very own Lucia procession and gingerbread cookies.
We all sang Lucia songs and ate the gingerbread cookies.
Because that's the other thing about Lucia day. It's a Feast and we eat. A lot.
Speaking of Feasts – I tried a new trifle recipe that went down very well with my friends that I'd like to share with you. It was so easy to make! I've tweaked a recipe my friend Erika shared with me.
1.	Melt the chocolate, either in a microwave in short bursts or over a bowl of simmering water on the stove. Leave to cool but not to get too stiff.
2.	Gently stir in your custard and mix the two together.
4.	Pour over the cherry brandy, then sprinkle over the cherries.
5.	Put your amaretti biscuits into a bag and bash gently with a rolling pin until a coarse like sand consistency. Don't worry if there's smaller and bigger bits. The difference in texture will taste wonderful.
6.	Sprinkle your amaretti sand over the cherries.
7.	Now pour over your custard in an even layer.
8.	Put some clingfilm over your trifle and leave to chill until just before serving.
10.	Whisk the double cream in a bowl until it forms soft peaks, then smooth this over the custard.
11.	Decorate with your toasted almond flakes, chocolate curls and cherries.
I know. Why would you voluntarily put yourself, and your whole family, in a tent for the weekend?
Not only that – but you'd bring all your friends along too! (though good thing obviously!) And a dog!
We've been going camping since Jackson was in Reception with a few of his school friends and we always have a blast. It's a firm favourite of ours and we always look forward to it every year.
The kids play and parents get to chill, drink wine, eat and catch up.
We normally have a BBQ and make s'mores, (also firm favourite!) and we all and chip in and share food and snacks. It's beautiful.
It's completely stripped back, with all our focus firmly on our kids.
We have a fantastic bell tent that we bought from Soulpad a few years back. I can't recommend this tent enough. It comfortably fits us all (2 adults, 3 kids and a dog), all our gear and food. It's relatively cool in the day time and warm at night. Check out the website – I promise it's worth every penny.
This year we decided to head to Swiss Farm in Henley and boy – it was fabulous. It's a great camp site! I completely understand the hype now. Staff are so helpful and nice from the get go at reception. We stayed in a deluxe pitch (with electrical point, park bench and water point close by) and it was well worth the extra. We had so much space! The site is very well looked after too – everything is super clean and accessible. The showers and toilets were fantastic, and easy to find. Again, really fresh and super clean.
We loved the pool area. We were lucky (?) to travel here during the heat wave so the water was a welcomed break. I don't know how well I would have coped inside the tent when the sun was blazing down on us. Buddy the dog could come to the restaurant next door to the pool and this was a life saver. It meant one of us could sit and have a coffee with the dog whilst the rest of the gang went for a swim. But it also meant that he could come with us when we went for a beautiful cooked breakfast in the morning!
The only gripe was that people were putting towels out in the morning session to save sun loungers in the pool area. I mean… Really?
Some of the families left their towels on the sun loungers, then kept popping out for lunch and later dinner – making those sun loungers out of action in between… Anyway. I was desperate to get an umbrella for the baby and my porcelain skinned children! Next year I will bring my own umbrella.
We had dinner in the restaurant twice and it was really nice. I can really recommend a visit here if fancy a break away from the usual camping food. Order the fish and chips – it's amazing! Followed by any of the breakfast dishes. You'll thank me later!
The staff are so friendly and service minded. Always smiling. They can't do enough for you. Our food order got mixed up twice, but they were quick to rectify the problem.
Bring your own pool umbrella. No joke.
They're meant to operate a "one session per day system" whereby you can use the pool for one particular 2 1/2 hour session only, but this wasn't in place when we where there so the pool was rammed. I reckon head for the early slot if you fancy a swim with little ones.
Head into Henley if you fancy a change of scenery. It's gorgeous.
Check the calendar before you head here. There was some sort of music festival in Henley when we stayed and the music was SO LOUD. We didn't sleep.
As you know, I like my coffee.
Sweden is in the top 10 coffee consumers in the world. We like coffee in Sweden.
I mean, we reaaaaaally like coffee.
On a work trip to Stockholm a few years back my English colleague Clara didn't slept at all that week due to the copious coffee consumptions.
But we not only drink coffee. You also eat buns, biscuits, patisseries, and cookies alongside it.
And you chat. You hang out in your favourite cafe for hours.
This is called FIKA and is part of the Swedish DNA.
More than often than not you'll find Kladdkaka (Sticky Chocolate Cake) on the fika menu. It's a firm favourite amongst Swedes and it's easy to see why.
I added some Swenglish flavour and added dates to the recipe. The result was beautiful! Similar to a Sticky Toffee Pudding, but in Fudgy Chocolate Cake form. YUM.
1.	Turn the oven on 175°.
2.	Melt the butter in a pan. Remove from the heat once melted.
3.	Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt; and set aside.
4.	Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla into the pan with the butter.
5.	Now stir in your dry ingredients. Mix well.
6.	Finally add your chopped dates. Stir the mixture.
7.	Pour the batter into a well greased pan and put into the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes.
9.	Let the cake cool on a metal rack.
10.	Serve with some whipped cream or ice cream and fresh fruit.
My dad is a Fisherman, so fish was always been part of our weekly diet.
Growing up, I didn't really appreciate the freshly caught fish on our dinner table. I didn't realise how fortunate I was. But I do now. I crave it.
I don't like to mess around with the fish though. It's truly beautiful gently oven roasted with a few accompanying ingredients.
My husband had to have a major operation this week and nothing says "I love you" as a home cooked meal.
* So the night before my husband's big operation I made him some beautiful oven cooked Lemon and Tomato Stuffed Sea Bream.
1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. 2. Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and, put in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and add salt, cook for 20 minutes or so. (Depends on the type of potato you're using).
Once cooked, drain and start mashing. Add a little bit butter and milk for taste and texture.
3.	Rinse the fish properly. Now slash the fish through the flesh down to the bone.
4.	Season and rub with the olive oil.
5.	Slice the lemon into medium slices. (In term of the thickness, think a pound coin.).
6.	Add the lemon slices to the cavities of the fish.
7.	Now add your washed tomatoes to the belly cavity and a sprig of thyme.
8.	Chuck in some pieces of butter on top of your fish fillets.
9.	Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes.
10.	Baste the fish occasionally during the cook.
11.	Serve with your mashed potato and vegetables.
Sums me up pretty accurately.
It can't be any kind of coffee though. I'm quite particular. It has to be strong, with a healthy helping of frothy milk in a nice mug or cup. Yes, slightly OCD perhaps but there we are. I am a mum of three, I don't have lots of luxuries left in this world.
But I also really like to experiment with coffee beans. I like to mix in some hazelnut coffee with my normal coffee beans. In time for Halloween and thanksgiving it's Pumpkin spice.
Not the syrup mind you – it has to be the actual bean. I find the syrup too sickly for my liking.
My absolute favourite is an Amaretto Flavoured coffee from the Little Coffee Box Co. Just like dunking a gorgeous biscotti in your coffee!
Recently I discovered S'mores Coffee and it's amazing. It tastes just like you'd expect it to. I can imagine sitting by the campfire with a cup of coffee slowing devouring some scrummy S'mores at the same time.
Speaking of S'mores. I found a really easy peasy recipe online I'd like to share with you.
Most S'mores recipes call out for Graham crackers. Unfortunately we don't have them in England and so I was thrilled when I discovered this recipe which uses McVities Milk Chocolate Biscuits.
This recipe is so simple. Honestly, It'll only take a few minutes to prep, cook and eat.
•	Place the biscuit on a plate, chocolate-side up. This will be the base of your S'more.
•	Set the top biscuit close by.
•	Toast your marshmallows over an open flame until they're hot and soft in the middle. If they catch on fire, just blow them out and continue toasting until browned. They'll be even nicer!!
•	Slide the toasted marshmallows onto the biscuit (chocolate side) and sandwich the top cookie on top.
•	Press down slightly until the marshmallow oozes out the sides a little… Heaven.
When I was little I used to subscribe to a Swedish comic series called Kamratposten. It tackled all the issues a nine year year old might face; friendships, jealousy, love, hate, and most importantly not getting Applejack for a Christmas present.
I'm still upset about that one.
In my teens I moved on to Veckorevyn. The Swedish equivalent of Teen Vouge if you like. It had lots of teen advice, interviews with Hollywood and pop stars, make up tips and shiny posters. Who doesn't need to know what Jason Priestley and Luke Perry's favourite breakfast cereal is?
And don't worry Petra – Luke Perry is still yours!
As an adult I've tried a few subscriptions – a certain popular health mag, (in the hope that I would somehow become more healthy just by reading it), a monthly cookbook club, the National Geographics, Science magazines, Mother&Baby, Snack subscriptions and more.
There is one subscription though that I would wholeheartedly recommend, and it's a gem.
"We look after special places throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland for ever, for everyone.
We are so fortunate in this country to have so much history, so many stunning places to visit, and just being able to walk around these grand old estates and houses, learning about its past owners.
We've been to quite a few National Trust places and they all have their own individual charm.
It's the perfect day out for the whole family.
When we go there's mum and dad, grandparents, a 90-year old great granny, kids, a baby and dog. A tall order!
When we stayed in the Peak District last we visited Hardwick Hall.
Built in the late 1590's the house and the furnishings were very impressive, but what really stuck with me was the story.
Its first owner Bess of Hardwick was an extraordinary woman. She came from humble beginnings to becoming the second wealthiest woman in the country, after Queen Elizabeth. She married four times, and seemed a remarkable woman for her times.
This is also a stark contrast to poor Lady Arbella Stuart, Bess of Hardwick's grand daughter. Related to the Queen Elizabeth and Mary, Queen of Scots, she was thrown into the middle of royal intrigues and was practically imprisoned at Hardwick Hall for most of her life.
Bess brought her up to be fit for the royal court. She was introduced to Queen Elizabeth who was very impressed by the girl. But when Arbella's aunt, Mary Queen of Scots was executed she fell into Queen Elizabeth's bad books and Bess had to keep Arabella away from all society.
As an only way out of her house arrest, Arabella fought for her right to marry a man of her own choosing.
She almost did manage to escape to France with her beloved, William Seymour, but was caught and put in the Tower where she died aged only 39.
How there's not been a series about this house, and these remarkable women, is a mystery to me!
And we'll need a King James and a William Seymour. I wonder if Jason Priestley and Luke Perry can do English accents?
I noticed him straight away. He was very tall and handsome and had luscious floppy hair. He was charming and confident with a cheeky smile to match.
He asked me where I was from and I said Sweden. He said he liked meatballs from IKEA. I asked where he was from. I said I really like a Sunday Roast.
We would end up being in the same class at Uni for three years but our love didn't blossom until our third year when we were cast opposite each other in a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Being a Swenglish family means we get to pick and choose the best bits from both cultures. I make foods that I love from home, as well as dishes from my new home country.
Some purist would say one shouldn't mess with perfection but I think fusions enrich our lives.
So the humble Swedish meatball. And an English sausage roll.
I decided to marry the two and the result was beautiful.
Best served with a lingonberry jam creme fraiche dipping sauce on the side.
Add your cream and milk to the breadcrumbs and let it stand for 10 minutes. Stir gently.
Put your Mince in a bowl and mix in your spices carefully, followed by your egg and lastly the breadcrumb/cream mixture.
Get your pan ready. Now wash your hands and get rolling! Start by rolling the meatballs and putting them one by one on a side plate, ready for some frying.
Once you're done with the rolling, start frying! Make sure you shake the pan from time to time as you want an even cook.
Once cooked take them off the heat and let them cool completely.
Get your puff pastry and cut into thin strips.
Now roll your meatballs up into little rolls, just like you would a sausage roll.
Once you've wrapped the meatballs in pasty, get some egg wash on them. This will give the pastry a nice shine.
Put your meatball puff pastry roll into a hot oven (180, fan assisted) for about 10-5 minutes – or until the pastry is nice and golden.
In the meantime, mix your lingonberry jam with a bit or creme fraiche into a nice thick dipping sauce.
Take your meatball roll out of the oven and serve.

Juan Cristóbal Nápoles Fajardo, más conocido como El Cucalambé, (Las Tunas, Cuba, 1 de julio de 1829 - ¿finales de 1861?), poeta cubano nacido en Victoria de las Tunas. Famoso por su obra El Cucarambó. Se dedicó a la poesía popular y al cuento costumbrista. Otra de sus importantes obras fue Rumores del hórmigo de 1856, elaborado en décimas guajiras.

Vida personal

Nació en Victoria de Las Tunas (actualmente Provincia de Las Tunas), un poblado fundamentalmente agrícola y ganadero, el 1 de julio de 1829. Sus padres eran Manuel Agustín Nápoles Estrada y Antonia María Fajardo, una familia de ricos terratenientes, que poseían un ingenio llamado El Cornito en las afuera de la ciudad. Residió ahí hasta los 29 años.

Juan Cristóbal fue educado por su abuelo materno. Desde pequeño tuvo talento para la poesía, por lo que su abuelo le dio a conocer los autores clásicos como Homero, Virgilio y Horacio. Igualmente, su abuelo le enseñó sobre la literatura clásica española, y de los poetas cubanos Zequeira y Rubalcava. Sin embargo, fue su hermano Manuel quien lo inició en la poética y la retórica.

Durante su vida como poeta y repentista, también desempeñó a la par algunos otros oficios como periodista, editor, dramaturgo y pagador de obras públicas. Compartió su vida sentimental con Isabel Rufina Rodríguez Acosta.

Obra poética

Nápoles Fajardo publicó sus primeras décimas guajiras en 1845 en el periódico El Fanal de la entonces Villa de Santa María de Puerto Príncipe, actual ciudad de Camagüey. Luego colaboró con La Piragua, órgano del grupo siboneyista, por ello se dice que fue un genuino representante del siboneyismo y el criollismo en la poesía cubana.

En 1856 publicó su poemario titulado Rumores del hórmigo, considerado un clásico de la lírica en la isla caribeña. Participó en la conspiración independentista de Agüero en 1851 y en otras posteriores.

Presentó en 1859 su obra teatral Consecuencias de una falta, drama en cuatro actos escritos en verso. No solo escribió décimas, sino también sonetos, letrillas, epigramas y romances.

Desaparición física

Vivía en Santiago de Cuba cuando desapareció sin dejar rastro, hacia finales de 1861, a los 32 años. Hay varias teorías sobre su misteriosa desaparición, pero la más aceptada actualmente es la del suicidio.

Legado

En 1886 se publicó póstumamente una colección de sus poesías inéditas. En 1974 se editó en Cuba el volumen Poesía Completa sobre su obra.

Actualmente, en la antigua residencia de la familia Nápoles y Fajardo, se reúnen los poetas y los músicos para interpretar sus obras. En ese lugar, se encuentra el motel campestre El Cornito, donde pasó la mayor parte de su vida el más conocido cantor de la espinela en el siglo XIX Cuba.

Se dio a conocer en vida como El Cucalambé. Según el ensayista y poeta Carlos Tamayo Rodríguez, dicha palabra significa cierto baile de negros.
