November 20th, 2010—As darkness fell on Lake Placid New York, a 22-year-old hiker set off into the High Peaks Wilderness after his shift at The Downtown Diner. Several hiking parties spotted him in his green Carhartt jacket before vanishing into the trees two miles in. Days later, that jacket was found. He was not.

In part three of this special miniseries focusing on the historic sailing of the Mayflower from our shores to America 400 years ago, we focus on the heart-warming story, known in every American home to this day – as Thanksgiving. After a grueling 66-day journey at sea the Mayflower and its passengers finally reached the New World November 21, 1620. They suffered terribly from sickness and by the end of the first winter 50 of the 102 passengers lost their lives. However, the settlers soon built a strong relationship with the native Indian Wampanoag tribe who taught them to hunt and grow crops. In the autumn of 1621, a bumper harvest was achieved, and a three-day feast was celebrated, which to this day is known as the first Thanksgiving. Just before Thanksgiving a few weeks ago I met up with two American Chefs Jerome Grant and Justin Walker. Chef Jerome is Executive Chef at Sweet Home Café at the National Museum of African American History & Culture, and Chef Justin Executive Chef at Walkers Maine. Both flew over as part of the Thanksgiving Culinary Diplomacy programme, in partnership with the US Embassy in London, and began their tour in Rotherhithe where we met up. Later that afternoon after a Sunday roast at the Mayflower Pub, I caught up with them to find out what Thanksgiving means to them today. This is Your London Legacy. Justin Walker: “I was sort of born into it—my grandfather was a cook in the US Army during WWII, and when I was a kid I would spend every Thanksgiving preparing food.” 4:00 Justin grew up in Lake Placid New York and attended college in Vermont, interestingly enough with a focus on competitive skiing. He jokes that they don’t have ski teams at culinary school, but once he settled that he wasn’t going to race professionally he settled into expanding his cooking abilities. After moving to Main he met his wife in 2000 and at the time she was a waitress in the restraint he worked at. History is an important part of their family, as his wife can trace her lineage back to Devon England, and her family came over to the United States in 1627. Justin finds that tradition lies at the heart of Thanksgiving, and each family has their own—with his own making octopus for their son on Christmas eve. Justin and his wife now have their own restraint where the close down on Thanksgiving to volunteer and give back to the community—a true embodiment of the holiday if there ever was one. He’s excited to share traditions and pick up on new ones while travelling around our lovely city. Jerome Grant: “It all started off with my mother and my grandmother. The backbones of our family—always watching them cook, always enjoying a meal with them.” 26:00 Jerome started off flipping burgers and making pizzas – learning the ins and out of the kitchens in his teens, going to culinary school, and eventually jumping on a flight to St. Croix to work on a beach resort. He soon became the chef there at the age of 21 and pulled a lot of long days and weeks as he dove headfirst into the culinary world. Jerome sees cooking as a constant giving—it’s not about cooking to the best of his ability for himself, but it’s to create a snapshot for someone else, becoming a part of someone else’s memory. Over the last ten years he has delved into museum dining with a large focus on cultural dishes. Figuring out how to showcase those cultures in edible exhibits makes Jerome a perfect chef to come to our city to learn more of our styles of cooking and share them back in the United States.

Today a short discussion on training brought to mind by a visit to Lake Placid Olympic downhill ski jumping training center. These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 06/08/2018 The Importance of Training Craig Peterson: [00:00:01] Hi, Craig Peterson here. I don't know if you've seen my Facebook feed you might want to check it out. I'm up at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid and it's really kind of cool. This is where they do the training for the Winter Olympic ski jump competitions. And, of course, when I'm recording, it's summertime well, early summer. And you might wonder how they do it. I got some really cool video that I posted up on Facebook of them doing some training of the younger kids who are Olympic hopefuls. Of course, the team isn't assembled yet. They're not doing the training here, but these kids are certainly hopeful in their own teams and they're moving their way up there's a progression. It's really cool, to see and how they do it in the summer time which is they're using basically the same hills and some of the small hills covered with some kind of plastic type of surface on the top and then they ski jump into a pool. They’ve got some special devices in place to help make sure that they don't hit the water really hard to kind of break the surface tension. It's fun to see and it's fun to watch. So, you might want to check it out. Over on my Facebook page. The thing that comes to mind is something that again the FBI has been talking about and I've been talking about for years on my radio show when it comes to training the number one thing that most people and businesses just aren't paying attention to, when it comes to right down to security. : [00:01:30] These kids in the summertime doing winter ski jumps. They've got everything right. They've got their winter ski boots on. They've got the winter skis going down these hills that are typically used in the winter and they're recreating the conditions just like it would be if they were here in the wintertime except of course for the problems of being no snow right. So, they're doing the best they can. How much time are we taking, with our employees, when it comes to conducting training on the security front, keeping the black hats out and making sure that our employees are really getting white hat training. So that they know what the bad guys are going to do. So, they know how to derail it when the bad guys are trying to attack, because we're talking about a multibillion dollar industry where they're coming after us and sometimes they're just pretending they're good guys right there pretending they're wearing white hats and they get us to do things maybe we shouldn't do and our employees to do things that they shouldn't do either and we end up losing a whole lot of money because of it. And I don't know if you noticed in the news, I'll have to talk a little bit more about this, but you know that router hack that we talked about the one the Russians have been involved in. It turns out according to Cisco talos that Cisco is determined here that it was a lot worse than we originally thought. : [00:02:55] I mean a lot worse, they were breaking SSL encryption and using man in the middle attack techniques. As part of that, they were also faking Bank sites. So, you'd go to your bank they get your account information your log in, eccetera. They would take money out of that account and then guess what. When you went to the bank legitimately to try and see how your balance was right they would change the bank's page so that when you checked your balance everything looks normal. Right. And because it's all going through Russia just going through your local VPN. Believe it or not, one that you did not install but they installed for you. And now when you are looking at the bank balances, actually adjusting it in real time as you go on the site, you have no idea that they've actually stolen that money from you and transferred it out of your account. So, even looking at the bank balance online doesn't guarantee that they didn't get it from you. So, check it out. Go online you'll see a whole lot more information about it. The training's really important and I think you'll have a lot of fun if you have a look at those videos I posted of the kids doing their training at the Olympic facilities in Lake Placid New York. Take care and We'll talk again, tomorrow. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Happy Valentines' Day Weekend! This week's second set from Lake Placid New York, October 17th, 1983 should bring a warm smile to any lover's heart as it contains a really wonderful 'To Lay Me Down'.. one of the most romantic of all Garcia's songs. Of course I don't want to minimize the enjoyment the remainder of this set will bring you. They start off with 'Touch', then move into 'Samson and Delilah'.. then the aforesaid 'To Lay Me Down' starts a nice combination as it rolls into 'Man Smart (Woman Smarter)' and Terrapin Station pre-Drums. Following Space, we get a fine version of 'The Wheel', a rocking 'Miracle' then they 'Go Down the Road Feelin' Bad' into a set-closing 'Good Lovin' That one features some interesting improvisation by Bobby.. listen for it..
