A Riffian's Tune
A Riffian's Tune is an autobiographical novel about forging your own path, the power of hope, and daring to step into the labyrinth of life - no matter what.
Deep in the heart of the rural Rif Mountains, one boy's life is dictated by tribal tradition, superstition and religion. But Jusef dreams of more; it's a dream that will send him far from his shepherding hills to the bustle of the big city in search of education, meaning and, above all, a different way of life.
From the richness of a story overflowing with tales of tragedies, courage and triumphs, Jusef's journey reveals the complexities of Moroccan culture and the overwhelming restraints facing those on the fringes.
As the country questions its identity in the fading period of colonial rule, one Berber boy must also challenge who he is and who he is meant to be - as he discovers in the fight against adversity, dreams might not be enough...

IBPA BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DIGITAL SILVER HONOREE:'...Set in the heart of the rural Rif mountains, this little boy's life is dictated by tribal tradition, superstition and religion. He moves from nothing--with hopes and dreams; he shifts to the big town, Fez, to get an education. This book reads like a diary and yet it is a travel novel. It is a magnificent read. Each page will hold you in its clutches and squeeze from you so much emotion and the need to keep turning pages. How on earth will this little boy endure the obstacles? Moroccan culture is seen from the inside, both the positive and the negative. The story overflows with tragedies, courage and triumphs. Those on the fringe of society are powerless. The main character, Jusef, shows the reader the power of hope and the strength to believe in a positive future. I absolutely loved this book and wished it had carried on further. This book deserves the 4 1/2 stars. A wonderful book. I loved every minute. I wanted more.' F. Gibson 'I stumbled across 'A Riffian's Tune' while looking for travel books on my kindle app and I was blown away! This book is wonderful. I'd been to Morocco many years ago, and had always kept up an interest in the country, but this book showed me a whole new side; a snapshot of the Morocco on the cusp of independence. The protagonist of the story is Jusef, a shepherding Berber boy from the far north of the country. What follows is his journey as he struggles to leave shepherding behind and make a new life for himself away from the mountains. But it's really about a lot more than that; every page contains a different little tale, all woven into one big inspirational journey, full of vivid details and unbelievable situations. Joseph Labaki's writing reminded me of a cross between Hemmingway and Paulo Coelho, having the same simple but elegant style, and the succinct clarity which is so effective in transporting the reader to places and times they would never otherwise see. I thoroughly enjoyed 'A Riffian's Tune'. It made me laugh, cry and think and above all is a beautiful book.' - A Poupalou 'A Riffian's Tune is now one of my favourite books and I really would recommend anyone to give it a try.' Yul from GoodReads 'FANTASTIC READ , I found this true life story a brilliant book that took you on a journey through one young boys struggles to educate himself in a world that threw every difficult situation you could imagine. Thoroughly recommend 'A Riffian's Tune' gives you a real taste of life in another world .' -G Murdoch '"A Riffian's tune" is a beautiful, inspiring story. It brings up the authentic atmosphere of poverty and foreign occupation in Northern Morocco. This story reminds us that unfortunate circumstances do not always dictate the course of an individual.' -Fouad 'It's a wonderful experience to get lost in a book...I could not put the book down, it pulled me in deep...I did not see the end coming until the final pages, and I think that must be very good writing indeed!...the story still runs through my mind. I won't forget it.' A Clifford 'This book was so rich with culture and history.' H Sowalla

As the sunset over the headland at Kings Beach, an elderly couple watched as the passenger liner "Sun Beauty" sailed out to sea on its next voyage. The couple were in the twilight of their lives, and they had shared a beautiful life together. They had earlier that day, spent time with their children, grandchildren, and their great granddaughter while they celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary.
They shared a bottle of Muscadean, a white wine produced from white Muscat grapes grown in Ballandean, hence the name. A light, easy drinking aromatic semi-sweet white makes it perfect served chilled for that warm summer day picnic. They discovered the wine on a weekend visiting Queensland's Granite Belt wine region and, at once it became "their wine." Later on, the owners of the winery opened an outlet at nearby Mooloolaba, and while he could still drive, he managed to call in about once a month.
When the sun had set, he dozed off in his favourite chair, placed to take in the picturesque outlook over the entrance to Moreton Bay. She was comfortable with him dozing off, and she knew he was at peace. Although now in his eighties, they both liked to look back at the uncertain times, at the peak of World War two when they first met, and how over time, their love grew.
Although the population considered Australia to be safe at the start of the war, as Europe and Germany were on the other side of the world. Attitudes changed with Japan entering the war. Japan shared the same Ocean as Australia. Although Japan and Australia were successful trading parties before the war, with Japan attacking Pearl Harbour and making menacing overtures towards Singapore, Australia was now at war with Japan.
When Darwin was bombed for the first time in February 1942, the government played down the damage to the public. The general population knew nothing of other bombing raids at Broome, Mossman, Derby and even Katherine.
After the midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbour in May, it had become impossible to disguise that an impending threat became real. This became even serious when rumours began the spread about "The Brisbane Line."
When it became seriously believed by the government and military that Japan would attack Australia, it needed to be quickly decided what areas should be protected. Because Australia was a vast island with the majority of the population confined to the southeast, in February 1942 General Ivan Mackay drew a line on the map of Australia. This line stretched from the coast north of Brisbane to west of Melbourne. Although no record of the "Brisbane Line" was being activated, many believed, (and some still do) that the line was implemented and all of the country north and west of the line was to be abandoned.
The other item kept from the public, concerned that during the twelve months between May 1942 and May 1943, 25 ships were attacked within forty miles of the New South Wales coast.
The government began to realise that unless they could control panic, large numbers of the population may abandon the major cities like Brisbane.
Because of its proximity to the Pacific battlefronts, Brisbane was the crucial point for resupplying the troops in battle. The Americans developed it as a Major Naval base, including a vast submarine base. In 1942, General McArthur set up his headquarters for the Pacific in Brisbane. Brisbane needed a civilian population to make sure the smooth running of so many essential services.
The government and the military were in a "catch 22" situation. Secrecy needed to be maintained for security, and yet, the population needed to be reassured of their safety. This, compounded by the military distrust of elected politicians, as well as the parliamentarian's need to placate their constituents. A unique approach obviously was needed.
The member for Port Macquarie and now the defence minister, David Millar called an urgent meeting of his department heads to see if a solution could be found. Because of some of the difficulties, the meeting was held in Sydney. As it happened, in the same hotel that the defence department rented rooms, the senior media lecturer at Queensland University was with colleagues in a get together of their own. Tom Walker was the former editor of a major newspaper who also had extensive experience producing newsreel films. Tom and David were friends from the University of New South Wales, where they both studied. When the defence Minister ran into the media lecturer in the hallway, they made time to have a few drinks and reminisce about their university days.
It was during this time that the Minister started to conceive the basis of how Tom may be able to offer a solution to his problem.
Although they realised, the invasion of these cities by the Japanese would be remote; a specialist public relations unit still should be instigated. It could give reassurance through movies (newsreels) and newspaper articles that would show to the civilian population the defences were in place.
With Brisbane is becoming the headquarters for the allies command for the war in the Pacific, it would become necessary to play down the military importance of Brisbane as a target.
A by-product of these films would be to discourage a Japanese invasion, as they would show the Japanese Brisbane was too difficult a city to invade.
They finished their talk with Tom agreeing to put a concrete proposal together. He needed to show how it would also work including the resources needed. This plan was required to be able to be presented to the War Cabinet by the end of the week.
Being the driven person that he was, Tom was able to put the basis of his proposal together in just two days.
He approached the task as if preparing a lecture for his students. He defined exactly the end achievement needed. What would be the best way of achieving the result? What resources are needed? He was able to present a written proposal two days later.
The Proposal
To reassure the residents of Australia that there was no need to evacuate their homes and thus maintain a steady civilian population to enhance the war effort, I propose to set up the following civilian unit.
1. Reporting directly to, the Defence Minister, this unit will work, in conjunction with the military authorities, but the military shall have no control over the activities of the unit.
2. The unit would make newsreel motion pictures depicting the defence efforts of an area without divulging crucial information that the enemy may not know of.
3. The movies are to be processed and scripted before handing over to the distributors, who will then add the scripted soundtrack using their staff.
4. Regular newspaper and magazine articles are also to be produced.
5. Staff required would be
a. A General Manager to oversee operations and report to the Minister
b. A Cinematographer, who would produce the movies and supervising a cameraman. He would also act as the second cameraman.
c. A Journalist to write articles and the scripts for the movies.
d. A personal assistant to the General Manager who would also act as a secretary and other duties when needed.
e. A driver who must be competent in small boats and all types of motor vehicles. Would also be an aid in labouring and any other tasks as required?
6. The budget would be set by the Minister and vehicles, camera and other equipment to be supplied by the military where available. But the unit would buy directly when needed.
7. The Military are to supply accommodation including living, office and workshop space independently from the military accommodation. The Military is required to provide security for this area.
To his surprise, Tom received a call from the minister that afternoon is telling him it had been approved without alteration. A meeting was set up the next day with the minister and his senior staff. The chief of the defence forces would also be attending.
David told him the cabinet wanted this unit to be operating within a fortnight.
David arranged for Tom to use a parliamentary office in Canberra to enable him to get the ball rolling. Some of the minister's staff members were allocated to generate all the legal and performance documents needed so that Tom could start with the recruitment. His first need would be for a personal assistant.
David suggested Jill Robertson, 32-year-old, a career public servant with the defence department. She had previously worked for David Millar before he entered politics.
She was married to Colonel Bob Robertson, an Australian military liaison officer attached to the British Air Ministry in London.
Her knowledge of the public service, politics and military protocols would make her invaluable in dealings with government and defence personnel. Not having any ties would enable her to travel as required.
David assured Tom that, as he would be operating a division of the Ministry of Defence and all members of his unit would be paid by the department, so would all expenses. In fact, even though there were shortages of materials and other supplies, Jill would order everything under the auspices of the department. Therefore, all suppliers would, under the wartime regulations, have no alternative than to supply the unit in preference to all others. This would also mean that the unit had priority over the three military branches.
All accounts would be forwarded to the department for payment. This also meant that all the unit's civilian staff would be treated as Commonwealth Public Servants.
Tom was relieved that he would have no supply problems to hinder the operation.
Ministry Communications Unit
David arranged for an interview and within two minutes, Tom decided that she was ideal, and she wanted the job. Jill transferred to Tom's unit that afternoon. Jill was an extremely good-looking woman. She stood about six feet tall with a body would make most Australian women envious.
Tom, hearing that the famed Australian filmmaker, Charles Chauvel, was in Canberra that afternoon, had one of his staff arrange for them to meet at the Canberra Hotel.
Although Tom couldn't reveal much about the unit, he told Charles enough, so it was possible to ask if Charles knew of any suitable candidates for the Cinematographer's role. Charles had no hesitation in recommending Bill Munro, who had worked as an undergraduate cinematography assistant to Charles.
Bill, raised up, on his parent's farm in central Queensland near Roma, went to boarding school at Toowoomba Grammar and a cinematography graduate from Queensland University. Being 22 years old and single would also be helpful.
As Bill was in Sydney, Tom met with him on Monday morning at an office that Jill acquired near Victoria Barracks.
In two short days, Jill arranged for working offices in Sydney and Brisbane, while the Army provided living and working accommodation near the Eagle Farm racecourse. The army also supplied a car in Brisbane and when required in Sydney and Canberra.
Over the weekend, Jill moved into the Brisbane accommodation while Tom, taking advantage of being in Sydney, met up with his two daughters. Both were staff car drivers at Victoria Barracks, which made it easy to catch up when he was in Sydney.
The meeting with Bill concluded remarkably successful, although he advised Tom that he needed a week to tidy up his current projects. He did, however, know of a young cameraman who would be ideal for them. Tom agreed to give Bill the week to tidy up and then, he was to join him at Eagle Farm the following Monday.
Tom also gave Bill the approval to employ the Cameraman, who lived in Clayfield, the next suburb to Eagle Farm.
On Tuesday when Tom arrived at the Eagle Farm property, he was impressed with what Jill had been able to organise, on such short notice.
She heard of an experienced journalist, Joe Grady. Joe, a feature journalist for the last ten years with the Brisbane Sun, had resigned from the paper with the intention to join the army.
Joe was thirty- years old and married to Joan, a nurse working in the burns unit at Royal Brisbane Hospital. Ninety percent of her patients were R.A.N. and RAAF personnel, injured while on duty in the Pacific. Both were career orientated although, Joe wanted to join the army. Jill met Joan several years ago at a conference, so on Saturday when she arrived in Brisbane, Jill gave her a call. She heard about Joe resigning, and she asked if he would see Tom before he enlisted. They made an appointment to meet with Tom on a Tuesday afternoon. Tom, being familiar with Joe's work, looked forward to meeting him.
Joe and Tom hit it off at once. Joe could see the importance of the role and, even if he wasn't to add a by-line to each article he wrote, he was allowed to keep copies for his resume after the war.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Minister arrived in Brisbane and called on Tom. He was impressed with the speed the unit set up. Tom explained that they could not arrange for film equipment until Bill came on board, the following Monday. He explained to David that the only position not filled was the driver.
David suggested that Alf Watson may be suitable.
Alf, a 23-year-old single man, grew up in Port Macquarie and worked on fishing boats. He had driven semi-trailers to market and is a good 'bush mechanic.'
When Alf was rejected by the army on medical grounds, because of his flat feet, he appealed to his local Member of Parliament and family friend (David Millar.)
As David had known Alf as the son of a friend, he never hesitated in recommending him to Tom. "Alf will be an ideal member of his team because of his driving ability, knowledge of the sea and his mechanical ability as well."
When Tom called Alf, he jumped at the opportunity as he realised, it would be far more interesting than in the army, and he would still be contributing to the war effort.
Alf was on the next train north.
During the first week, Jill set up important meetings with the local Military commanders, where the Minister explained what was about to happen. He instructed them to brief Tom on the entire military (army, naval and air force) tasks surrounding Brisbane. They all agreed the first movies would centre on the sea approaches to Brisbane.
They felt most of the strategy for the defence of Brisbane seaways would be known to the Japanese anyway. There is only one shipping channel into Brisbane, and they were sure that the Japanese would have extensive charts. These would've been gathered before the war while Japanese cargo ships regularly carried cargo in and out of Brisbane.
Knowing the shipping routes, it would be a simple exercise for the Japanese intelligence to estimate where shore defences would most likely be located. Tom arranged for the Navy to take him on board for a journey between where they met incoming convoys and the Brisbane River.
This survey journey took place on Tuesday after Bill arrived. The first task he needed Bill for was to make a list of the photographic equipment he needed.
Jill would use her talents to make sure it was all available within days. Tom become amazed at what Jill could organise. He often wondered if Jill knew there was a war on and led to equipment being in short supply. If Jill asked for material, Jill got equipment. The acquisition of a truck and small boat created no problems for Jill.
The rest of that week the unit worked together and settled into their new roles. It was decided that they should wear army style work wear, and they were given "All Area" passes. This allowed them to enter restricted areas at any time. The unit was given the imposing name of "Ministry Communications Unit."
They all now signed the Official Secrets Act and to make their job easier when moving around they were given talks on a broad range of military subjects covering all three services. They needed to be able to recognise all badges of rank for both Australian forces as well as American forces. They also needed to know operational requirements of the Navy as well as the army.
Their quarters at Eagle Farm consisted of a separate room for each person with shared toilets and showers except for Jill, who had her own. Joe had a room, although he usually stayed at home when not required. In the office block, they all had their workspace.
Alf was allocated an area allotted for his truck. This would be where he parked it, and could do any services that the army didn't do. He also used a general store room that he stored any timber or other supplies that may be needed.
Bill had a comprehensive workshop where he could store all his equipment and prepare the film stock. All the processing of the film would be carried out at the Milton Kodak Laboratories.
The film, by its inflammable nature, was required to be stored in a special fireproof vault that somehow Jill found.
An American Air Force unit, being next to the Eagle Farm compound was ideal for meals. Jill arranged for breakfast and dinner to be taken at their Officers Mess while, lunch was sandwiches that Alf would collect after breakfast. They often joked about Alf being probably the only driver who ate in an Officer's mess anywhere in the world. Jill had also arranged for tea making facilities to be available at their compound.
They started the day that they were to have their first journey with the Navy, by having the whole unit being assembled on the Hamilton wharf.
This was the same day that their cameraman, Fred Williams, joined them from the south coast. He signed the "Official Secrets Act" paperwork on the dock. Their vessel, a harbour tug, usually travelled through the channel with every convoy in the case of an incident.
As they departed the port, they looked at Fort Lytton on the southern side of the river. The fort had been erected to protect Brisbane from the Russians in the 1870s. The tugs captain pointed that the North West shipping channel ran from the Brisbane River to Caloundra. After leaving the river, the channel runs northeast to around Cowan Cowan on Moreton Island, and then it turns North West to Bribie Island where it then rounds Wickham Point at Caloundra and heads out to sea.
They saw defences at Cowan Cowan and again at Skirmish point on the Southern end of Bribie Island, and again towards the northern end of Bribie.
At the high points of Caloundra, they could see lots of activity and undoubtedly, a lookout or two. The tug captain told them of the trenches, barbed wire and other measures that extent to well past Currimundi.
On the return journey, they observed the tight formation of the ships in the convoy, and how the escorts weaved in front of the convoy. This was to make sure that no submarines were amongst them. The same procedure took place at the rear of the convoy.
Tom thought that the journey well worthwhile, but he knew a lot more knowledge of the defences would be needed. Before the planning of the projects could start he needed to be more familiar with all the activities around the Caloundra and Bribie Island regions.
A two-day fact-finding mission was arranged to take place on the Wednesday and Thursday of that week.
Tom wanted to have the cameras rolling by the following Tuesday. Meanwhile, there were meetings to be had with the printed press, as well as with the two newsreel companies.
Tuesday morning Tom met with the editors of the two local newspapers and explained his mission to them. They both agreed they would take and publish the articles Joe would write and give them by-lines of a staff journalist. They also knew that being a War Cabinet mission, secrecy of the source along with the need not to alter the transcripts were vital.
After lunch, Tom arranged for the team to meet at the Breakfast Creek Hotel. This was a "getting to know you" exercise. Tom stressed the importance of their job and he could take the luxury of relaxing for the first time since he had run into David. In only eighteen days the unit developed from a concept into a fully functional branch of the defence ministry. Jill commented that, in all her years in public service, she had seen nothing happen so fast.
At the beginning of a semester at the University, Tom had used the following exercise many times. It involved getting everyone to tell their life story to the group. They adjourned to a private room that Jill had organised and with jugs of beer on the table and a supply of nibbles Tom started the ball rolling.
"After I gained my degree at the University of New South Wales, I started out my working career as a cadet journalist with the Cumberland group in Parramatta. As a young man I met my wife, and we had two lovely daughters within two years. I became a feature editor for the whole group in less than ten years. When I was preparing an article to focus on the benefits of the new Harbour Bridge, I happened to stand right in front of the official party. I was amazed at the audacity of Captain de-Grout in cutting the ribbon. This led me to think words could never adequately describe the mood and reactions of the Premier and all the official party. The looks of amazement mixed with anger could not be captured in words alone. This led me to think about exploring the possibilities of working with film."
"The following year I became editor of the Daily Telegraph and even though I enjoyed the work, I still had this nagging feeling about the inadequacy of the printed word."
"I stayed there for three years before I joined the Cinesound Company as a journalist working on the scripts for newsreels. This led me to become a producer supervising the story choice and managing the film crews for them."
"It was about this time that my marriage collapsed, probably because of the long and odd hours I worked, and it left me with the task of raising two teenage daughters by myself."
"I realised that to bring up the girls, my life needed to be more organised, and I needed to be home far more than in the past. It was around this time that the media studies faculty at the University of New South Wales was put into place. I applied to join this faculty and became the first media lecturer."
"War came along, and the girls were now young women. They both joined the WRAAC on the same day and now drive staff cars around Sydney."
"About a month ago I was in Sydney for a meeting when I ran into David Millar, whom I had known from my student days. David suggested we have a few drinks, and it was during this time that the formation of this unit developed. David went back to Canberra and asked me to put a proposal together. Within two days David had presented my proposal to the Cabinet and Cabinet approved it unanimously."
Jill was next to telling her story. She was apprehensive at first being acutely aware of her husband's position and careful not to infer that her position in the public service had anything to do with her husband's station in life.
"I was born in Sydney and spent most of my teenage years at the beach. I love the surf, and I am extremely motivated to be the best of whatever endeavour I undertake."
"I went straight from high school into the public service as a clerk. I noticed those around me who sought a career in the public service had university degrees. This led me to enrol in a business studies program with a major in government studies."
"An opportunity arose to transfer to Canberra that I jumped at. After all, Canberra was the place for an ambitious public servant to be.
Canberra was good for me as I started to get promotions even though still studying for my degree."
"Canberra was also good for me as this is where I met my husband, Bob, a cadet at the Duntroon Military College. We married later that year and made a firm commitment not to start a family until later on."
"Bob was more of an administrative officer and as it turned out the army is short of young administrators. They had plenty of leaders and field officers but, short of those with highly developed administrative skills. This was good for us as it meant Lieutenant, and then Captain and finally Major Robertson worked at Army Headquarters in Canberra."

I was with three dogs, all from the same household: Ozzie, a bouncy, athletic and energetic bearded collie cross; Gem, a lovely-natured little Staffordshire bull terrier; and Sam, a rather overweight, but ultra-sociable Cairn terrier whose short, stumpy legs struggle to keep his belly from trailing the ground.
In a country park, high in the hills that overlook Paisley and Glasgow, we were following our regular route. As normal, I checked each field for sheep and cattle before entering. Except, on this occasion the cattle were not apparent from the entrance and were actually ensconced in an obscured dip, around a bend.
The three dogs were off-lead and slightly ahead of me as they charged through the open ground. Well, Ozzie and Gem, at least – Sam was mooching his way around as usual, searching for scraps of discarded picnic food and leaving his scent-mark on just about every raised tuft of grass that he passed.
I knew something was wrong the instant all three stopped what they were doing and stood still. Gem threw me a look from over her shoulder which I loosely translated as:
"We've got a problem …"
Confronting us now, and quickly rising to their feet, were about twenty cows. Worse - they each had their young with them.
I returned Gem's look, hoping she'd interpret it as:
"Keep calm, and walk slowly towards the woods."
At least in there, I reckoned, the cattle would have no room to charge us, and if we were seen to be walking away from them, hopefully they'd realise we intended no harm to their calves.
The most vociferous of the herd was by now no more than four metres from me. She was snorting and stamping her front hooves on the ground. The others were becoming more animated and vocal as they circled us. I shot a look towards the wooded area, some fifty metres away.
The alarmed baying of the group in front of us had alerted a splinter-herd, who had been resting-up in the shade of the very same woods.
Gem slowly turned her head towards me, a quizzical look on her face. I think she was saying:
"What now, wise-guy?"
'What now?' indeed.
Well, Ozzie, being of nimble foot, had already made himself scarce and scarpered towards the bottom end of the field. Gem, ever so trusting, was still awaiting instruction.
Sam, completely unaware of any possible danger, decided he'd like to make friends with the cattle. This was not helping, at all.
A car stopped on the road that bisects the park, and the driver came to the fence around a hundred metres away. From his vantage point, down the slope from where we were cornered, he could see a gap forming in the herd. He shouted to me and pointed to where we should run.
And run we did – Gem close by my side.
It was, as I'd read in magazine articles, 'every man and dog for themselves,' as we, the faithful Gem and myself, raced through the break in formation. Sam, however was still dithering around with his new 'pals.'
"Come on Sam" I hollered. "BISCUITS!"
That did the trick. His little legs were a blur as he tried to catch up, more afraid of missing out on a treat than the danger of being trampled and kicked to death by an irate cow or two.
We quickly reached the sanctuary of the road, where Ozzie was waiting:
"What kept you?" I could imagine him panting.
A compelling true story about a young man who ventured on the wrong path despite a mother's best efforts to keep him on the straight-and-narrow path. This honest collection of memoirs written by Charles Carpenter while in the confines of California's notoriously violent state prison (New Folsom) depicts Mr. Carpenter's early years and details what led to his membership with the faction of Crips known as "Tray-Five-Seven."
The book explains how a young man became fixated on a life of crime and through a distorted perception, viewed the gang subculture as a normal way of life. The Charles Carpenter story is a brutally honest account of his experiences in various juvenile facilities during the 1980's and the members of various gangs he met during his unfortunate stints of incarceration.
It is pure torture to watch a loved one slowly lose everything and know there is nothing that can be done for them
It is so important to reassure your loved ones during the early stages of this disease. The more worked up they get, the more inept and useless they feel. Nobody should feel this way, especially those in the early stages of dementia. It's not easy to be patient under normal circumstances. It's even harder the fifteenth time you're looking for a cell phone or car keys. You must force yourself to always exercise patience. If finding their phone is important to them, then it should be important to you. Telling them not to worry about it, or it'll show up, doesn't help at all. You might as well be talking to a wall. Finding a lost item will become a fixation for them. Drop whatever you're doing and find the item. Be sure to include them in your search. Chances are they're going to follow you around anyway.
This is a memoir of my journey caring for two loved ones, and experiencing the loss of a third loved one to this terrible disease. Witness with me, up-close and personal, the different stages of dementia- from early signs, diagnoses, progression, and finally the heart wrenching end. Learn from my experiences to identify the early symptoms sooner. And, more importantly, learn how to care for your loved one so that they never walk alone…

Minuteman students design aid effort
Minuteman students design aid effort
A fund-raising event benefiting the Sarcoma Foundation of America and the Catherine J. Malatesta Scholarship Fund, titled "A 'CAT'Pella Festival to Belt Out Cancer," is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, at Arlington High School's Lowe Auditorium.
A silent auction, raffles and T-shirts will be available at the festival.
General-admission tickets are $15 and can be purchased at www.catherinemalatesta.com/a-catpella-festival, where you can also find the list of a capella groups performing.
If you are unable to attend, we encourage you to make a donation at the same website.
Malatesta, an AHS senior standout in sports and on stage, died of cancer in 2015.
Students in the Design and Visual Communications program at Minuteman High School in Lexington recently created publicity materials for an event that will serve two noteworthy purposes -- honoring an Arlington teen who lost her life to sarcoma and raising awareness and money to fight this rare form of cancer.
Several juniors designed and printed postcards (shown above), tickets, sandwich board signs and the event program.
Minuteman design and visual communications teacher Maria Galante said the event organizers -- Catherine's mother, Jennifer Goodwin, and Dawn Terry -- met with Minuteman juniors in the design program, some of whom knew Catherine, so they could gather information and start brainstorming. Then, the class broke down into smaller groups to create each item.
The participating students were Lili Allen, Christopher Cercone, Nicholas Cinganelli, Lucille Couet, Charles Garvey, Melanie Hennessey, Sydney Kindle, Timothy Meridal, James O'Connell, John Ross, Emari Scott, Andre Scotto, Mariana Torres-Roman, Ryan Vail and Hailie Wentworth.
Galante said the students learned a great deal from this project. She said: "They had the opportunity to share their technical skill in a way that helps support their community while they are provided with an experience that represents what happens every day in the industry. As a teacher, I'm always grateful when I see students working with the community as designers, illustrators, photographers, video editors, animators, or whatever it is they're on their way to becoming. It means the world to me when I see students pursuing their passion while helping others."
One of the students involved, Sydney Kindle, expressed her enthusiasm for the project: "The clients were great to work with and working with them to create something was awesome."
Catherine's mother expressed her appreciation for the efforts of the Minuteman students and their teacher" The partnership between the A CATpella Festival Committee and the junior students in the Design and Visual Communications program has been fantastic. The promotional materials that the class produced are beautiful and have been received with much enthusiasm. Catherine was 16 when she died. She would love that her peers designed these materials. We are so thankful to have found Ms. Galante and Minuteman High School. What a resource in our community."

Video DJ Crash
Saturday March 19 2011
Spun an in-store event, as video dj. So I had the chance to mix up music and videos, projected against a white wall. Its great to do something a little different.
How often do you get to go into a store and watch the DJ mix music and video together? never!
But, it might just start happening a bit more now.
Gave me the opportunity to mix and mash michael jackson and lady gaga video's together.
Keep video deejaying in the back of your mind. Its great for Bar Mitzvahs and corporate parties.

The article by Raymundo Larraín Nesbitt is well-documented by does not make any mention of the ability of Spanish creditors to pursue debts of residents and nationals of non-EU countries such as the USA, Turkey, Morocco or others.
Thanks for any info or insights on this question.

Icaru, I guess you are referring to this article by Raymundo: Spanish Creditors Pursuing Debts Abroad.
Although Spanish lender can in theory pursue bad debts across EU borders I have yet to hear of a case of it happening. I guess it depends how big the debt is. Another option is for the lender to sell the loan to a debt-collection agency in the home country, but I haven't heard of that happening either.
Debt collection outside the EU is even more complicated and costly. In the majority of cases I would expect the lender to write off the debt, rather than try and pursue a claim in the places you mention like Turkey or Morocco (but perhaps no the USA). The costs will often outweigh the likely payoff.

My husbands dads name was hilary and my husbands middle name is hilary so I wanted to name our daughter after them but I can't think of a middle name to go with it. I think Hilary Grace sounds pretty but I don't like the name grace very much. So help me out the last name is Clanton. And yea I know Hilary Clanton sounds alot like Hliary Clinton but I can't help it.
personally i'm not a fan of hilary but that is just my opinion. are you set on using it as a first name?
hilary ava is kind of nice.
OK, that name would be WAAAAYYY too close to Hilary Clinton!!! Please don't do that to your child! She would be teased a lot for having a name so close to the former first lady. If you had a different last name, it might be okay, but I just wouldn't subject a child to that.....
I think it's nice you are honoring your family by using the name Hilary :smile:
My suggestions:
Hilary Anne
Hilary Brianne
Hilary Nicole
Hilary Paige
My SO suggested using Rodham or Duf LOL :lol: :P
Hilary Anne is cute
Doesn't hilary have 2 l's? Hillary...
I like Hilary Nicole. And about the Hilary Clinton thing, I wouldn't worry about it. Hopefully Hilary Clinton will be way out of politics by then :devil:
Thank you all so much for your opinions I think Hilary Nicole Clanton will be great. I'll have to check with hubby but I really like it. I hope by the time she is old enough for kids to tease her that Hilary Clinton will not be a household name.
Jackie :smile:
grrrr, the last post on her under my screen name was my husband, he forgot to log me out....
I think initials are very important, I like B with an H and C
how about Hilary Blythe Clanton
Hilary Nicole is a nice name :smile: I agree, don't worry about your last name, if you like the name, go for it.
I think that Hilary Nichole is cute.

Chapter 47 'Missing'
The door to the med bay burst open as the changeling emerged with an ecstatic grin on his face. "Guys!" He yelled looking at each of his friend's confused expressions.
"Uh, B we heard a crash…is everything okay in there?" Cyborg asked slowly.
"More than okay! Dude, Robin I'm sorry about what I said earlier, it totally wasn't your fault Raven got hurt and Cy, I don't know what you did but…you did it!" He exclaimed.
"Did…what?" Cyborg asked. "Is she-."
"She's awake!" The green boy yelled. "She's gonna be fine and-."
On this note the Tameranian let out a loud squeal, which cut the shapeshifter's sentence off as she flew past her three male friends and into the room Raven was residing in.
Robin's face seemed to regain more of its color back upon hearing this as well. "Really? She's gonna be okay?" Their team leader asked allowing a smile to play on his lips.
"Dude, she totally woke up and asked me what happened after she blacked out, she didn't remember much but she seems Raven-like-enough," Beast Boy replied with a shrug.
"BOOYAH!" Cyborg yelled as he pumped his fist into the air. "Alright, now all we need to do is alert the giant group of titans piled up in our living room and we can start this party!"
Robin looked at the mechanical man narrowing his eyes. "No party."
"Oh, come on Robin you're no fun. We need to celebrate something like this!" Cyborg exclaimed looking down at his green friend who was still smiling from ear to ear.
"Um…friends…" Starfire began poking her head around the door. "I do not mean to do the upsetting but…where exactly has friend Raven gone?"
"Star, she's right there on the bed, behind the curtain," Beast Boy said with a small chuckle.
"I assure she is not," Starfire replied in a worried tone.
It didn't take more than one look at each other before the three other heroes burst into the room.
Nothing looked out of place from when Beast Boy had last scene it, the test tubes were still in shards on the floor but there was no sign of forced entry into the room at all. He looked up at his best friend with confusion crossing his features.
"Uh…what exactly happened in here?" Cyborg asked noticing the glass covering the floor. "Was that what were heard?"
The changeling laughed sheepishly at this comment. "Eh heh, yeah Raven's power's kind of did that."
"You didn't scare her did you?" Robin asked.
"No, I…it wasn't exactly like that…" Beast Boy began as a dark blush began to spread across his cheeks.
"Oh I get it!" Cyborg teased. "Maybe Rae got freaked out because you kissed her and retreated to her room?" Cyborg suggested.
"But it wasn't…I mean she…kissed…never mind, it doesn't matter, we need to find her!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
The boy wonder raised a masked brow at the shapeshifter, "You didn't happen to say anything that would have upset Raven before you left did you?" Robin asked slowly. "I mean…there's no forced entry and Raven could have easily teleported out of here."
Beast Boy let out a long sigh as he narrowed his eyes at his three friends. "Dudes, I swear I didn't…say…oh crap. Yeah, I might have said something," the changeling admitted nervously thinking back to the last question Raven had asked him before he left to retrieve their friends. But she had seemed perfectly okay with it then! Or maybe that was just a cover up so she didn't upset him at that exact moment. After all this was Raven, she had never been one to openly express and accept feelings, what would make her start now?
"Please, what is this 'oh crap' for?" Starfire asked looking down worriedly at her green friend.
"Agh, I'm so stupid!" Beast Boy exclaimed slapping his palm to his forehead repeatedly.
"What happened B?" Cyborg asked.
"I uh…may or may not have told Raven that I could possibly, think that I might be falling in love with her," he spoke quickly as his three friend's eyes went wide. "But she seemed totally cool with it then so I mean…I didn't…I didn't even think she was awake but she woke up the exact time I said it so she heard everything and…I'm an idiot."
"You are not the idiot," Starfire spoke softly.
"Star's right, you just…didn't realize that Raven's not exactly the type to…uh...admit those types of things," Robin stated rather formally.
"Yeah, but where would she go, I just-."
"She's probably in her room," Cyborg suggested. "If you freaked her out enough she probably had to meditate or consult those multicolored cloaked emotions in her head."
"Right, her room, she's always in her room, I should have known that!" Beast Boy exclaimed chuckling lightly.
"Friend Beast Boy," Starfire began noticing the shapeshifter begin to head towards the emapth's room. "I think it is wonderful how you have realized your true feelings for Raven and I am sure once she does the coming to terms with her emotions she will also feel the same."
"Thanks Star," Beast Boy said humbly before nodding at the Tameranian once and darting down the hallway.
"Do you think Raven actually transported to her room?" Robin asked looking up at his mechanical friend.
Cyborg didn't meet his eyes with the boy wonder's mask. "I don't know man. She was really weak from the fight…I know she had been healing herself but I don't see how her powers could have allowed her to."
"That's what I was afraid of," Robin stated looking around the room.
"But Robin, you have killed Slade and-."
"I never said I killed him, I assisted in his drop from a one thousand foot building. I never actually saw him die," Robin admitted. "Besides even if he is gone that doesn't mean the other villains wouldn't still finish his plan."
Starfire gasped at this comment. "They may have broken in and done the taking of our injured friend! Oh this is horrible!"
"Hey, guys chill out, we don't even know what happened," Cyborg said knowing how Starfire could get when she worked herself up. "Rae could be in her room we don't know-."
The loud chime of the titan communicator rang through the air interrupting the hybrid's sentence. Cyborg quickly pressed a button on his arm to see the changeling's face cover the screen.
"What's up B?" He asked cheerfully.
"Raven's not in her room? Any other guesses to where she would have ran to?" He asked looking worried.
Cyborg's smile dropped upon hearing this sentence. He was going to respond to his best friend but before he had the chance to do so red lights began flashing throughout the tower and the annoying buzzing sound that alerted them their city needed them rang through the giant T shaped building.
Raven or no Raven they were needed to be heroes once again. Cyborg only hoped that when they did appear at the scene of the crime Raven would be there as well.
Short chapter I know! And it's late, which is an equally awful thing. Midterms and tests have been hard on me and I can't guarantee it's going to be any easier next week so please forgive me if the next chapter is a little late. I'll do my best for it not to be but nursing school is kicking my butt right now.
Anyway, I do hope you all like this chapter. I love hearing your feedback, so as you all know by now it's very welcome, and it definitely inspires me to write a lot quicker. Thanks so much to those of you who have been reviewing you seriously make my days brighter when I log on here and see a new review. Seriously, I feel like Starfire does when someone tells her they like her Tameranian cooking. Haha.
And of course, my update wouldn't be complete without me asking you guys…what do you think is going to happen next…dun dun dunnn.

Ben Whishaw is Playing a Young Q in Sam Mendes' 'Skyfall' Bond 23
by Alex Billington
November 25, 2011
Source: THR
"Must you touch everything?" Well this is odd casting, but we'll have to accept it. THR is reporting that Ben Whishaw (in Layer Cake, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The Tempest, Cloud Atlas) will be playing a young agent Q in Sam Mendes' Bond 23, officially titled Skyfall, now shooting in England. Q is an iconic character from the original movies, played by one of my all-time favorite actors Desmond Llewelyn (seen right above), and hasn't appeared in the new Daniel Craig reboot yet. I didn't expect this kind of casting to be confirmed, but here we go. THR simply says that Whishaw is "reported to have been assigned the role."
Q (which stands for Quartermaster), like M, is a job title rather than a name. He is the head of Q Branch (or later the Q Division), the fictional research and development division of the MI6 British Secret Service. The character actually appears only fleetingly in Ian Fleming's novels, but he was a prominent character throughout the earlier Bond films, portrayed most often by Desmond Llewelyn, later by John Cleese. Q has appeared in 19 of 22 of EON Bond films; all except Live and Let Die, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
Ben Whishaw is a young British actor, only 31 years old, on the rise mostly in Europe working primarily with European directors so far. He's immensely talented and Perfume is one of my favorite films because of his performance in it. It's a bit odd that this Q will be younger than James Bond himself (Daniel Craig is 43), but then again maybe they're going to claim that Q is an interchangeable character just like 007 himself. Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Away We Go), and also stars Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney among others. Production is currently underway, and Columbia Pictures has the film scheduled for release in the US on November 9th next year.

The Ocala, Florida City Council is considering adopting an ordinance that would ban e-cigarette use wherever smoking is prohibited. (The ordinance would also ban sales to minors and impose reasonable restrictions on product placement/access, which CASAA supports.)
The ordinance will be introduced at the regular City Council meeting on TUESDAY, April 1, 2014 at 4:00 P.M., Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 110 SE Watula Ave. Ocala, FL 34471. Second reading (and vote) is expected at the next City Council meeting on April 15th, 2014, so it is imperative that vapers make their voices heard NOW.
Please (1) email and call the mayor, city manager, and members of the City Council to explain why you oppose efforts to ban e-cigarettes wherever smoking is prohibited, and (2) attend BOTH meetings (April 1st and April 15th at 4:00 P.M.) and offer testimony in opposition to this ordinance.
(As a sign of respect, we request that you refrain from vaping during the City Council meeting.)
(As a sign of respect, we request that you refrain from vaping during the City Council meeting.)
CASAA strongly encourages vapers to call and email the mayor, city manager, and members of the City Council.
What to say:
- You are an Ocala, Ocala-area, or Florida resident and while you support bans on sales to minors, you oppose banning e-cigarette use where smoking is prohibited. (If you are responding to this Local Alert and are not a state resident, please mention any connection you have to the area, for example, you travel to Ocala on vacation or have friends/family in the area.)
- Tell your story on how switching to an e-cigarette has changed your life.
- Clarify that:
a. Smoking bans are enacted to protect the public from the harm of secondhand smoke, but e-cigarettes have not been found to pose a risk to bystanders. In fact, all evidence to date shows that the low health risks associated with e-cigarettes are comparable to other smokeless nicotine products.
b. The low risks of e-cigarettes is supported by research done by Dr. Siegel of Boston University, Dr. Eissenberg of Virginia Commonwealth, Dr Maciej L Goniewicz of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand, Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University, and by the fact that the FDA testing, in spite of its press statement, failed to find harmful levels of carcinogens or toxic levels of any chemical in the vapor.
c. A comprehensive review conducted by Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University School of Public Health based on over 9,000 observations of e-cigarette liquid and vapor found "no apparent concern" for bystanders exposed to e-cigarette vapor, even under "worst case" assumptions about exposure.
d. Electronic cigarette use is easy to distinguish from actual smoking. Although some e-cigarettes resemble real cigarettes, many do not. It is easy to tell when someone lights a cigarette from the smell of smoke. E-cigarette vapor is practically odorless, and generally any detectable odor is not unpleasant and smells nothing like smoke. Additionally, e-cigarette users can decide whether to release any vapor ("discreet vaping"). With so little evidence of use, enforcing use bans on electronic cigarettes would be nearly impossible.
e. The ability to use electronic cigarettes in public spaces will actually improve public health by inspiring other smokers to switch and reduce their health risks by an estimated 99%.
4. Direct them to the CASAA.org website, as well as the CASAA Research Library, for more information.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A Florida Senate committee unanimously approved a bill Tuesday that would require a judge's permission to release autopsy photos, a measure sought by Dale Earnhardt's widow in her effort to keep a newspaper from seeing pictures of the late NASCAR driver.
Members of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee rejected a proposed compromise that would have allowed the public to see autopsy photos, but required a judge's permission to make copies of them.
Florida has some of the nation's strongest open government and public records laws. But an Orlando Sentinel request to have an independent authority look at the photos has outraged NASCAR fans and other members of the public, who have deluged public officials and the newspaper with objections.
Autopsy photos are still considered public information in Georgia, according to Jim Ellington, an Augusta attorney for the Georgia Press Association.
The Sentinel said it doesn't plan to publish the photos, but wants an outside expert to examine them as the newspaper looks into safety in NASCAR.
Earnhardt was killed in a crash Feb. 18 at the Daytona 500. His wife, Teresa, sued Volusia County four days later to stop release of the medical examiner's photos.
The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, whose district includes Daytona International Speedway, would require a person to show good cause to a judge before being allowed to see the photos.
''This is different from most open records,'' King told the committee. ''This open record has the potential of hurting a family.''
The bill still needs approval from another committee before it can come to the full Senate for a vote. A House companion bill hasn't had a hearing yet. Supporters of the bill rebuffed attempts to lessen the penalty for violators from a felony to a misdemeanor.
King, the number three Republican in the GOP-dominated Senate, and other supporters also fought off a proposed compromise that would have allowed the public to see autopsy photos -- but not make copies of them unless they had a judge's approval.
''We think this bill has a tremendous inroad for anybody to make a request from a judge to see photos,'' King said, noting he thought a judge might rule in the Sentinel's request that there was a legitimate purpose for letting the paper's expert examine them. ''But by this legislation I've cut out the rotten.coms and the ghoul.com Web sites from getting the photos,'' King said.
The compromise measure may return as the bill moves through the process, said state Sen. Locke Burt, R-Ormond Beach, its chief proponent.
Under existing law, the photos are a public record -- but a judge has blocked their release until a ruling on the widow's request, scheduled for a hearing Monday.
Burt said his ultimate goal was to prevent families from having pictures of their deceased loved ones from being publicly distributed.
But he said he was troubled by the freedom-of-the-press questions raised by advocates for newspapers, who told the committee that the public needs to have oversight over government agencies, including medical examiners.
But Thom Rumberger, a lawyer for Teresa Earnhardt, said ''you can walk all over this state and lift up every rock and you will never find a First Amendment right'' to have access to such photos.
He said there is a market for the photos in the world of Internet publishing, and even if the Sentinel doesn't publish them, someone is likely to figure out a way to get them into the public realm.
''What they are saying on the Internet is ... 'If we can just get a hold of the Earnhardt pictures, we'll make a fortune,' '' Rumberger said.
Representatives of newspapers also argued that if reporters have to go to court every time they just want to look at photos, they will unnecessarily involve grieving families, when they may not end up wanting the photos anyway after inspecting them.
King's bill, which has the support of Gov. Jeb Bush, would make it a third-degree felony to release the records with a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
King said whatever the legislature does, the issue may end up being decided by the state Supreme Court or even the U.S. Supreme Court.

Liverpool-Swansea City Preview
While Liverpool have done quite well for themselves in climbing to the top of the table without suspended striker Luis Suarez, the Reds are hoping in-form forward Daniel Sturridge can shake off his knock in time Monday for the Reds' trip to Liberty Stadium on Monday at Swansea City.
The 24-year-old Sturridge has been the offence for the Reds thus far, accounting for all three of their goals in league play as Liverpool (3-0-0) have taken the maximum nine points while not conceding a goal. He netted the side's first goal in the run of play this season prior to the international break, a glancing header on Daniel Agger's corner kick in the fourth minute to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory over reigning champions Manchester United.
Sturridge, though, was unable to further his stellar stretch due to a thigh injury that excluded him from England's World Cup qualifiers versus Moldova and Ukraine, the latter of which he was sorely missed as the Three Lions played to a dour 0-0 road draw. Manager Brendan Rodgers is hoping the time off between matches as well as the extra two days on this week's schedule will give Sturridge - who has 16 goals in 20 matches since joining the Reds in January - the opportunity to contribute.
"I think if it was a Saturday game, he may well have struggled but that extra wee bit of time gives him a chance to play," said Rodgers in his pre-match press conference. "I would suspect he will hopefully be fit. He won't be 100 percent, but we'll see."
On defence, goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has made 11 saves while keeping his net unblemished, and Rodgers singled out defender Martin Skrtel, who helped marshal the backline in the absence of Kolo Toure versus United.
"He was absolutely brilliant," Rodgers said of the Slovakian. "It doesn't give me a problem, it just gives me a nice problem to think about. He has just got on with his work, done extra work so when that time came he was going to be ready."
Rodgers' former team Swansea shook off losses to United and Tottenham with a 2-0 win at West Brom on goals by Ben Davies and Pablo Hernandez prior to the break for their first points of the season. The Swans' schedule becomes quite busy as they open a five-match stretch in 12 days, highlighted by opening Europa League group play versus Spanish side Valencia and defence of their Capital One Cup.
Still, manager Michael Laudrup insists his team's focus is on league play and continuing to put themselves in position to be a contender for the rest of the season.
"We just need to keep in there at this part of the season," the Dane told the team's official website. "The Premier League is our priority. I use the words 'daily bread' because it's here that we survive and then do well.
"The domestic cups are something extra, and the Europa League, this year for us, is a great bonus. But at this moment, the Premier League is absolutely our priority."
Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey will make his first appearance against Liverpool since leaving Anfield over the summer to join Swansea.
Rodgers claimed four points from Swansea (1-0-2) last season, posting a scoreless draw in Wales in his return. Liverpool ran rampant in the other fixture at Anfield, recording a 5-0 rout as Suarez and Sturridge each had a goal and an assist as the Reds scored all five goals in a 37-minute span bridging the halves.

PICTURED: British man killed in 'cowardly' Taliban bombing in Afghanistan
THE British man who was killed in a terrorist bomb attack in Afghanistan has been named.
Michael Hampshire was killed in Kabul
An absolute legend of a man with a heart of gold
Michael Hampshire, from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, died on Sunday when a suicide bomber blew up a car near the airport in the country's capital Kabul, killing at least three people and injuring 18.
Speaking of their loss, the 29-year-old's family said in a statement released via the Foreign Office last night: "Michael was a loving fiance, son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin and a friend to everyone who knew him.
"No words can explain what we are going through at this time and we will miss Michael dearly.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank people for the messages we have received but would now like, as a family, to grieve for Michael in peace."
Mr Hampshire was a security contractor working for the close protection team of the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan when he was killed.
He leaves his fiancee of more than six months, Claire Taylor.
Mr Hampshire's friend Nick Baker wrote on his Facebook page: "An absolute legend of a man with a heart of gold who inspired so many. R.I.P Mic. You will be missed!"
His cousin James Etchells also wrote on the social network: "Yesterday morning me and my family received some devastating news, news that no one wants to receive, but my cousin Mic Hampshire lost his life out in Afghanistan.
"This has well and truly hit us hard and I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'll never see you again.
"You will be missed massively by family, friends and your beautiful fiancee, I'm sure, but it's now time for you to lay in peace and us to be brave and strong."
Michael Hampshire was a keen guitarist
The keen guitarist is understood to have served with the 1st Battalion of the Prince of Wales' Own Regiment of Yorkshire in the Middle East.
Ian Birkenshaw left a message about Mr Hampshire's death on the Battalion's Facebook page.
He wrote: "Received terrible news today of the death of Mic Hampshire. He was killed by a suicide bomber at Kabul airport.
"Deeply saddened. My, and I'm sure your, thoughts are with the families and friends of Mic and his fiancee."
Mr Birkenshaw added: "Stand down and stand easy brother."
The terror attack appears to have targeted vehicles of the EU's police training mission in Kabul.
The car bomb was detonated near the office of the Afghan Civil Aviation Authority, a few hundred metres from the airport terminal.
A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini paid tribute to Mr Hampshire, saying: "My deepest sympathy goes to the family, friends and loved ones of our colleague and of all other innocent victims.
"The Afghan Government needs to ensure that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice."
Michael Hampshire had served in the army
The incident came just days after another Briton, who held joint Afghan nationality, was killed in an attack by the Taliban on a guest house in Kabul, which left 14 people dead.
He was working for the British Council in the country when he was killed.
Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond described both attacks as "cowardly".
Confirming a British national had been killed in Sunday's bombing, he said: "This is the second attack in a matter of days for which the Taliban have claimed responsibility and I strongly condemn their cowardly actions."

Learn how to pan-fry salmon simply and easily, searing in the flavors and omega-3 goodness of the fish. What makes this recipe so special is the tangy Thai lemongrass-honey sauce that marries so perfectly with salmon's natural flavors. An extremely delicious recipe that can be made in under 30 minutes! Great for an everyday dinner entree that even your kids will love.
What You'll Need
- 2 to 4 salmon fillets (if making more, double the marinade/sauce) - if frozen, thaw in a bowl of cool water
- 1 to 3 tbsp. canola oil (or other vegetable oil) for frying
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar (or substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 fresh red chili, minced or finely sliced, OR substitute 1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (omit for mild salmon)
- 1 tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. dark soy sauce (or substitute 1 more Tbsp. regular soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp. minced lemongrass (see link for lemongrass how-to)
- Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds
How to Make It
- To make the marinade/sauce, place all marinade ingredients together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir as you bring the sauce to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. The sauce will gradually thicken (the smell of the vinegar is rather pungent as it cooks). When sauce has thickened, place in the refrigerator or freezer to cool for 5 minutes.
- Place salmon fillets in a flat baking pan so that fillets aren't piled on top of each other. When the sauce/marinade has cooled (warm instead of hot), spoon 2 tbsp. over each fillet, 1 per side, slathering it over the flesh (reserve the remaining sauce for later). Marinate in the refrigerator 10 minutes.
- Place a frying pan or wok on medium-high heat, allowing it to warm up for at least 1 minute before adding the oil - this will help prevent salmon from sticking.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 to 2 tbsp. oil, lifting and turning the pan to distribute evenly. Now place fillets in the pan.
- Allow salmon to fry at least 2 minutes undisturbed before turning. If you turn too soon, it will stick. Instead, allow it to "sear", and it will come freely away from the bottom of the pan. While salmon is frying, cover with a lid.
- Fry a total of 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Salmon is done when inner flesh is no longer transparent and it begins to flake easily.
- To serve: arrange salmon on a serving platter or plates. Reheat sauce briefly and spoon some over each fillet. Any remaining sauce can be served as a side dish - delicious spooned over rice or vegetables!
- Serve with Thai jasmine rice, potatoes, or salad. Enjoy!
