On Tuesday, May 4th the Ambassador of the Netherlands, Renée Jones-Bos and the Netherlands Defense Attaché, Air Commodore (RNLAF) Tom de Bok of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington, D.C., will place a wreath at the Netherlands Carillon at Arlington, VA. to pay tribute to all Dutch victims of war. Special honour is paid to civilians and to members of the armed forces who lost their lives in the Second World War, and to all Dutch nationals who have lost their lives since, in other wars or in peace operations.

Today, March 20th, is the international day of the Francophonie. I didn't know this either but my teacher told me this in the afternoon.

"It's an opportunity, for French-speaking people of the entire world, to affirm their solidarity and to live together, with their differences and their diversity."

This afternoon I tried an on-line class for the first time, and it worked well. I really like my Tuesday classes, but want to practice more than once a week. I've looked for a teacher in Durham or near my work, but that turned out to be hard. So I went on-line and today I had a 1 hour lesson through Skype from a teacher in Lyon, France.

I've started a training course at work. It's called Bullet Proof Manager, and there's a session once a month. Today was the first one, and the topics were 'negotiating' and 'listening'. It was quite interesting, and I especially liked the role-play, a good exercise.

The training was in SciWorks, a technology museum for children, in Winston-Salem. There was a divers group of participants, from many different industries.
