Vision / Intent:
History at New Line Learning encourages students to enquire about past events. The course allows students to acquire knowledge and an understanding of the past. It gives them the opportunity to investigate historical events, people and issues from a wide range of historical periods. Students will use a variety of historical sources critically. It develops an understanding of how the past has been represented and interpreted.
The Department:
The History Department is part of the Humanities Faculty. Currently there are two rooms dedicated to the study of History. These rooms have recently been re-modelled and appropriately equipped to enable students to explore the past through a range of resources.
Mr A. Nash - Lead History Teacher
The Curriculum:
At Key Stage 3, students study a range of medieval, early modern and modern history. Vital skills, necessary to be successful in the GCSE, are developed across the three-year Key Stage 3 programme of study.
Year 7:
In Year 7, students begin with a study around causation: specifically, what enabled William Duke of Normandy to be successful in the Battle of Hastings. Students then move on to look at the mechanisms employed by William to maintain control of his new conquest after 1066. They complete an early modern history unit which scrutinises the details and events of the Tudor Age. This scheme of work has a clear focus on the religious change and continuity of the era. An important unit studied within Year 7 is the rise and fall of the slave trade.
Year 8:
Students begin to look in more detail at different eras of history within Year 8. In term 1 the students look at Britain during the Industrial Revolution. Following this they then move onto analyse key events of the 20th century. A focus is the First World War and then the causes and events of the Second World War. Students complete an in-depth study of the Holocaust before completing a course on a topic beyond British history. The final study is looking at the successes of the Civil Rights Movement in the USA in the 1950s and 60s.
Year 9:
The Year 9, the scheme of work looks to pave the way to GCSE success by bringing into the Key Stage 3 curriculum some of the elements of the GCSE course. Students study the causes and consequences of the French Revolution before completing a study of the British Empire. From term 3 students focus on a breadth study on Crime and Punishment before moving on to look at Whitechapel and the murders of Jack the Ripper.
Assessment at Key Stage 3:
Assessment at Key Stage 3 will take a variety of forms, but essentially students will be tested each term against a variety of skills. The format of the assessments will reflect the key skills required for GCSE. These will include written communication, knowledge and understanding, and source interpretation and evaluation. These will inform students and parents / carers of progress against target grades in the termly reports. In Year 9, assessments will take place which are more closely tied to the explicit demands of the GCSE specification.
The syllabus that students will study is Edexcel (1HI0). The course consists of the following core content:
- Superpower Relations and the Cold War 1943 - 1991
- Germany 1918 - 1939 (The Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany)
- Crime and Punishment 1000 to the present day; case study on Whitechapel 1850 - 1910 (including an investigation into the Jack the Ripper murders)
- Early Elizabethan England, 1558 – 88
Assessment at KS4:
Assessment is carried out at the end of the course and consists of the following:
|Written Exam
|Paper 1 - 1hr 15 minutes
|Written Exam
|Paper 2 - 1hr 45 minutes
|Written Exam
|Paper 3 - 1hr 20 minutes
This course is an excellent foundation for students to study History at A-level. It can work alongside courses in Archaeology, Economics, Classical Studies, Modern Foreign Languages, English, History of Art, Law, Politics and Religious Studies.
There are many possible careers that History can be used. The following are just some of opportunities History can open-up to an historian: Law, politics, journalism, social work, T.V. research, accountancy, archaeology, museum studies, architect, historical charities such as the National Trust and the Armed Forces.
The History department recognises the value of trips and visits. There are a number planned for this academic year:
Year 11 London Dungeon, Year 10 Whitechapel, Year 9 London Dungeon, Year 8 Ypres, Year 7 Mountfitchet.
Weekly intervention sessions are held for both KS3 and KS4 students. These are delivered according to the needs / requirements of the students in attendance.
Assessment & Key Performance Indicators
Assessment at Key Stage 3:
Students at NLL complete an assessment at the end of each academic term. In longer terms students will complete a mid-term assessment. Assessments in history are based on the Edexcel GCSE exam questions but also include a series of knowledge and/or comprehension questions to allow access for the students with a lower aspiration than grade 1. The questions are structured and assessed using the GCSE criteria but the questions are written so that students in KS3 can access the language used in the question. Sentence starters are included to help students structure their answers. After the assessment is marked students will complete a reflection sheet and consider their progress and how they can improve. Students can use their KPI sheet to set their own targets. Midterm assessments will be completed in exercise books but end of term assessments will be placed in the student's folder. The reflection sheet will be stored alongside the assessment.
Assessment at Key Stage 4:
In GCSE history students complete a range of questions based on the Edexcel exam questions which are taken from sample examination papers, text books or created by the classroom teacher. Though students will be assessed at GCSE on sources in paper 3 they will be tested on sources throughout the course. Exam questions will be set at appropriate times in the course. In general students should be completing an exam question every three or so lessons. These questions can consist of shorter 4 mark or 12 mark questions. Some of these assessments will be completed in exercise books. Students will practice 16 mark questions in books but more often students should complete these on paper and then complete a reflection sheet. The reflection sheet will allow the students to consider how they can improve their answer. Assessment sheets and reflection will be stored in the assessment folder. GCSE students in year 11 will complete formal assessments (Mocks) in line with the school calendar.
How do staff and students within the department use KPIs?
These are used in three cycles by the teacher to inform the students of how they are currently progressing. Teachers update the KPIs every two terms. The first time the KPIs are completed by staff will be at the end of Term 1/start of Term 2. This process will be repeated at the end of term 3/start of term 4 and the start of term 6.
Students will have access to the KPIs in lessons. The students can use the KPIs to help them inform their progress. Students should be able to see whether they are emerging, developing, secure or mastering in the key areas of assessment. Students will be able to determine how they are progressing in the following areas: analysing the causes of historical events; analysing the consequences of historical events; analysing the changes throughout history; analysing continuity throughout history; analysing the significance of events and to analyse historical sources.
Where are the KPIs located?
During term 1 students across both key stages will be given assessment folders. There are different coloured folders for each year group KPIs will be located in.
Where will assessed work be found?
From term 1 assessment folders will be located in the teaching classroom. Where resources and teaching space allows folders will be located in boxes labelled with the teaching group.
How often will students complete an assessed piece of work?
Students in KS3 will complete an assessment every term. This will be done when the students have completed the course of study. In terms which are longer students will complete a mid-term assessment. At the end of the year students will complete an end of year assessment.
Students in Key Stage 4 will complete regular assessments. Students will complete questions based on the GCSE Edexcel 9-1 course. The questions will follow the structure set out in the sample exam papers, past papers, text books or revision guides. Year 10 and 11 students will complete mock exams. The timetable for mock exams will follow the school calendar.
What measures does the department complete to ensure the assessment outcomes are accurate?
Post marking of assessments a selection will be reviewed. On Monday following the marking of assessments staff will complete a "moderation Monday". During this meeting quality assurance process will take place. Members of the department will select pieces of work and re mark them. This mark and the original mark will be compared. A discussion will then take place about the differences and similarities. Any issues with marking should then be made apparent. Appropriate action then to make adjustments or corrections then can be made.
Rationale behind marking within your department.
Post marking of papers students are returned their assessments. The assessment is then analysed by the student. The students should complete a feedback form. The form will allow the students to reflect on their learning and make corrections.

The Garden For Eden: A New Kind Of Show By Rihanna | Fashion News
Do you remember the incredible lingerie collection from Rihanna which sold out in May? Last week, she decided to promote and also celebrate the new line by throwing an innovative party in New York. The event was held at Brooklyn Navy Yard on Wednesday evening. The theme was 'The Garden of Eden' – but set into the future. In fact, there was plants and all different shapes from the future.
The innovative thing about this showcase was that Victoria's Secret models as well as plus size models shared the same stage, wearing the Savage X Fenty collection. The main guests from the evening were the Hadid sisters and the Victoria's Secret angel, Joan Smalls. You could see how much the singer cares about the collection by her taking the runway show.
Rihanna once again is getting success in another facet of life. She has collaborated during the past with Puma to such a great success. Originally a pop star, she has reached a new level by becoming a designer too, using her influence.
Her collection is vast; in fact you can find cocktail dresses, boxy suites, and paillettes are everywhere. You can buy online the lingerie collection here.

It wasn't in the Olympics. But to many, video gaming is a sport. Bloomberg Boot Camp, a report on today's technology. They play alone and they play in teams, and they buy professional equipment to get an edge against their opponents. One of those professional gaming equipment makers is SteelSeries, where VP Kim Rom says....
"The company was started in 2001, with sort of a vision that gaming would become one of the biggest sports disciplines in the world. Back then people laughed a lot when we told them about that. They still do. But not as much today. Since gaming is an official sport in 17 different countries including Russia and China today. It's a fast growing market. It's the second biggest sport in Germany today, right after soccer."
Among the gaming products SteelSeries has on the market are specialized keyboards and the Ikari laser mouse....
"Literally fifteen months went into the product, traveling around the world talking to professional gaming teams, two of them actually full time American teams. Materials, shape, how does it feel against your skin, how does it feel after eight hours against your skin?"
Eight hours?
"Hey some of our power users play sixteen hours a day. Our gear has to accommodate that."
There's even an iron lady bundle for female gamers...named after a popular gaming event in China. It's priced at 96 dollars. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.

I just wanted to share this great little art quilt I bought on etsy a few weeks ago.
It's called 'Keep the Conversation Going' and it was made by a man! Woohoo! You can find more of MudStuffings pottery and art quilts in his etsy shop.
This is the first art I have purchased for our home. JRoam was briefly an art major and several of our friends are artists so most of our walls are decorated with their art. Now that we are no longer on a college budget it is so nice to be able to support artists and hang new artwork on our walls.

What it means to be "Glutened"
If you're Celiac then you may have had this experience if you know someone who has you can feel empathy and understand but if you're new to Celiac disease I hope that this can open your mind to how deadly this disease can be and how sensitive our bodies really are.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a substance in cereal grains, especially in wheat that gives the elastic texture in dough. This substance can cause discomfort and reactions for people who have Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance, just like lactose intolerance or any other food reactions.
My Experience
Every body is different and everyone reacts to their own illnesses in different ways and no matter your own experience it can either get better or worse over time, sadly for me my Celiac Disease has gotten worse. Last week I ate food that was supposed to be made gluten-free and dairy-free, it was also labeled as so. I took my chances and even though I swore off sugar (one because I am tired of hearing how much I eat it and two because it has been killing my body) I still ate it. After a few bites, I realized that it wasn't actually dairy-free, and the next day I had stomach pains and gas in my stomach. I also ate it again and that's when I realized that it contained gluten, right there in the open, gluten that I had eaten. I felt okay that day, nothing out of the ordinary but on the plane ride home my stomach hurt and was very bloated. A few hours after we landed I became very tired and right before I went to sleep I decided to not take my nightly pills because I knew I was going to be sick. I fell asleep at 8 PM and woke up at 11 PM, gas in my stomach and that sinking feeling. I threw up, again and again and again, I cried in the bathroom knowing that I shouldn't have eaten what I did. I lay on the couch and threw up from 11 PM until the next night at around 4 PM. After 17 hours of throwing up, having a fever of 100.1, laying on the bathroom floor to sleep, to cry, hating myself, and hating my allergies I also realized that I need to educate more people about this illness. Now it's going to take 6 months for my intestines to repair themselves because after you eat gluten the lining in your intestines is torn off.
Glutening Symptoms Can Also Stem From Cross-Contamination
It can be difficult to generalize what happens when you are glutened because everyone has different reactions however over time you will start to recognize the reactions that your body causes which will help you determine if you ate gluten or if you have the flu.
Symptoms can include intestinal problems such as diarrhea, bloating, cramping, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Additional symptoms, not related to the intestines, can include headaches, joint pain, and numbness in the arms, fingers or legs. You might also feel like your head is foggy or unclear.
If you're still unsure if you have Celiac Disease a simple blood test can be done by your primary care physician!

To Fail Or To Regret – That Is The Question!
January 15, 2019 by Ali Skylar Comments
I tried, I failed, I got back up.
When I didn't try, I regretted it for a lifetime.
I was driving with my 19 year old Chaz the other day and he was commenting on a friend's sadness at not having the support of his parents to pursue a passion. Chaz then offered appreciation for what his dad and I do to support his dreams – many times on a path that is not "accepted" by societal constructs and is definitely seen as being a riskier financial journey.
Don't know where it came from but my response was: "You know, from my experience, at my age, regret feels a hell of a lot shittier than trying and failing. You can get up when you fail and start all over again – repeatedly. But regrets haunt you forever and are hard to resolve because you realize that you let fear run your life instead of passion and purpose."
I'm taking my own advice and working on "failing instead of regretting," appreciating all the projects I put my heart and soul into, that although manifested in truly magnificent ways, have not yet yielded a financial pay-off.
I may not have the money YET to reflect my efforts, but at least I don't have to live a lifetime with the painful energy of regret.
In the Shiftitude attached you'll see that I've reframed the word "failure" to be a positive experience rather than a negative one. A stepping stone towards my goal rather than a block that's knocked me down to my knees permanently.
I tried, I failed..next!!!

Issue 45 Oct / Nov 2008
David Morgan puts Bruno Gecchalin's Technica range for iGuzzini to the test.
Bruno Gecchalin has produced some wonderfully innovative and distinctive luminaire ranges for iGuzzini over the course of his career, including the Shuttle spotlight range that won the highly prestigious Golden Compasses Award in 1989.
Last year he produced the Technica range for iGuzzini, a series of spotlights targeted at the museum, gallery and retail display lighting markets. Given the quality of Gecchalin's work for iGuzzini over the years, expectations for Technica range were naturally high.
The cylindrical design of Technica looks back to the 1970s when Concord Lighting and others first enclosed PAR 38 lamps in spun aluminium cylinders. At that time iGuzzini was hardly known in the UK while Concord was the design leader in display lighting. Things have come a long way since then and now iGuzzini are one of the leading brands while Concord struggle to maintain their share in this area of the market.
However, with the Technica range, Gecchalin and iGuzzini seem to be design followers rather than leaders. The Erco Parscan range introduced a year earlier than Technica has a remarkably similar cylinder shape and hinged arm mechanism. The difference between the two is that the Erco design maintains the very clean cylindrical theme by housing the control gear in a separate cylindrical housing behind the lamp compartment, while the Technica range places these components in a rectangular plastic track-mounted box.
Despite the somewhat derivative design, the Technica range is comprehensive and covers a wide variety of lamp options in the three body sizes. Light sources range from 50W MR16 LV lamps up to 150 CDM and mains PAR 30 lamps.
The low voltage version operates capsule lamps up to 100 Watts and there is a screw adjustment device that moves the lampholder relative to the reflector to focus the lamp. In the flood version the beam angle can be adjusted while with the spot reflector the adjustment is only meant to adjust the optimum lamp position. One of the detail flaws with the design is that the reflectors are interchangeable but are held in place with three spring clips – not so easy if you only have two hands.
Where the Technica range seems to come into its own is with the accessory holder. Moulded in high temperature plastic it can take up to three accessories including colour filters and honeycomb louvers. The wire spring that holds the accessories in place is easy to fit and the whole assembly has an effective twist and lock mechanism that holds it into the spotlight body. There are two designs of snoot that also fit onto the accessory holder to make a sub assembly for easier lamp replacement.
Some of the wide range of colour correction filters, louvers and other accessories are also used in the Jean Michel Wilmotte designed Express range.
The gear enclosure for the low voltage and metal halide versions is integrated with the track adapter and sits in line with the track. This separation of gear and lamp overcomes many thermal problems where the lamps can overheat sensitive electronic ballasts, however it does not give the most elegant product configuration. The LV transformer incorporated a dimmer with a neat finger control so that the output from each luminaire could be individually adjusted.
In the 100 Watt low voltage halogen sample that I received there was a rather difficult to operate and ineffective plastic clip that prevents the end of the gear enclosure from drooping away from the track. The instruction sheet shows a different type of fixing for the medium size version which I was testing involving a screw rather than the plastic clip so perhaps this detail has changed on recent production. The gear enclosure plastic mouldings on my sample were a bit distorted and did not fit together particularly well.
The Technica range can be fixed in both vertical and horizontal axes with neat locking screws. This mechanism, to prevent aiming being accidentally changed during relamping, works well and is very discrete.
The Technica range has many good technical points and looks neat but some details of the build quality and the design prevent it from achieving the highest design standards that I would expect from iGuzzini and Bruno Gecchalin.

When the puck drops at Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Arena on Thursday, or whenever and wherever goalie Martin Brodeur lowers that familiar black, red and white helmet over his head for the first time this season, he will accomplish a rare feat.
In the long history of major league sports, only one player has spent more time with a single New York-area professional team than Brodeur's 21 seasons with the Devils: Mel Ott, who played 22 seasons for the long-departed New York baseball Giants, from 1926 to 1947.
Brodeur has already played more seasons with the Devils than Mariano Rivera or Derek Jeter have played with the Yankees, Ed Kranepool played with the Mets, or anyone played with the football Giants, the Jets, the Knicks, the Nets, the Rangers, the Islanders, even the old Brooklyn Dodgers.
"Really? I'm surprised," Brodeur said during training camp when informed of his place in the annals of metropolitan sports longevity. "When I started, I just wanted to get to the N.H.L., and everything else was just gravy to me."
Brodeur, 41, may delay the start of his season after the death of his father, Denis, on Thursday. But when he does take the ice, he will not be the only player turning over another page on the thick calendar of his Devils career this October. Center Patrik Elias, 37, is starting his 18th season with the Devils, making him one of only a dozen players who have spent so long a stretch on a New York-area team.
"I keep myself with the young guys," Elias said. "I compete with them and do my job well, and there is appreciation from management."
The list Brodeur and Elias belong to is an illustrious one, filled with Hall of Famers and franchise favorites.
Ott spent his entire career at the Polo Grounds and retired as the National League home run leader with 511. Then there is Brodeur, who would have tied Ott were it not for the lockout that wiped out the 2004-5 N.H.L. season. In third is Ken Daneyko, a dependable defenseman who retired in 2003 after 20 years with the Devils, and whose club record Brodeur will surpass.
Rivera's illustrious 19-year career with the Yankees will end with his retirement after the season finale Sunday. Jeter has also spent 19 seasons in a Yankees uniform.
Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra each played 18 seasons with the Yankees. Kranepool spent 18 seasons with the Mets after making his debut with the expansion team as a 17-year-old. The Hall of Fame outfielder Zack Wheat played as long in a Brooklyn uniform, from 1909 to 1926.
Pat Leahy spent 18 years place-kicking for the Jets, and Rod Gilbert made the Hockey Hall of Fame after 18 seasons and 406 goals in a Rangers sweater.
Brodeur, whom the Devils drafted from the Quebec junior league in 1990, has his name engraved on three Stanley Cups. He has more career wins and shutouts than any other goalie in N.H.L. history. Elias, whom the Devils drafted from the Czech Republic in 1994, has his name on the Cup twice. He holds franchise records for goals, assists and points.
Through all their years with the club, their boss has been Lou Lamoriello, the Devils' president and general manager since 1987. His long tenure puts him in the same category as other New York-area multidecade team executives like John McGraw of the baseball Giants and Wellington Mara of the football Giants.
Lamoriello said he saw in Brodeur and Elias qualities like those exhibited by other legendary New York-area athletes.
"You've got Marty Brodeur and Mariano Rivera — they're key ingredients to success," he said. "Marty and Patrik, like Mariano and Jeter, have the attitude that it's their team. It's in their personality. They take ownership of their team."
Since Brodeur first stepped on the ice for the Devils on March 26, 1992, the Devils have won three championships, second in the metropolitan area only to the Yankees' five. Likewise, the Devils have three players on the local longevity list, second only to the Yankees' four.
Brodeur has already played long enough to announce that the Devils had drafted his son Anthony and to spend part of training camp with him last month. His contract carries him only through this season. Will he stick around long enough to tie Ott's New York-area record?
"It depends on what the team thinks after this season, but if they want me and my body holds up, why not?" Brodeur said. "But I don't want to think about next year. For now, I have a good life. This is what I like to do, and they let me do it."

|Although last week's jobs numbers were lower than expected, employment remains strong. Unemployment claims this week unexpectedly fell to 213,000.
|The strong labor market and robust economy are pushing up inflation, which could pressure rates higher. Import duties are also boosting price pressures.
|Inflation and strong labor market data have economists forecasting the Fed will raise rates twice more in 2018. Mortgage rates have already factored this in.
|According to NAR, the median price for a single-family home nationwide is at a record $296,000. That's an increase of 5.3% year-over-year.
|Weekly mortgage application numbers were down 3% from the previous week. The drop is being blamed on tight inventory and rising home prices.
|CoreLogic's Home Price Index shows home prices rose by 0.7% in June over May. CoreLogic forecasts prices will increase 5.1% in the year going forward.

CITIZEN VOICES® br> Assessments for homeschooled kids?
Dec 12, 2017
A new bill, HB 1263, would require parents to report a home-school student's academic progress to either the state commissioner of education, a resident district superintendent, or a nonpublic school principal. Read more about this issue.
Should parents of homeschooled children be required to submit academic performance evaluations to a school official (either the commissioner of education, a local superintendent, or a private school principal)?
Discussion held on Citizens Count NH website and Facebook page November 29, 2017
What Participants Said
No: 144 people were opposed to requiring parents of homeschooled children to submit academic performance evaluations to a school official.
- "No. What's the purpose of homeschooling if you have to subject yourself to management by the state? Keep the state out of parenting."
- "If I wanted my children to be held to public school standards, I would have sent them to a public school. …Based on my experiences and observations, I consider the proposed changes to be excessive and unnecessary."
- "No. …Tenured teachers are not fired based on performance. Why should the state involve themselves in the private lives and decisions of parents?"
Yes: 35 people were in favor of requiring parents of homeschooled children to submit academic performance evaluations to a school official.
- "Yes. Absolutely. Children deserve a solid education. If they aren't getting it at home, it should be known."
- "Education is too important to society to allow people to fail to properly educate their children under the guise of homeschooling."
- "Homeschooled children need to show they have earned their academic progress just like anyone else."
Other: 22 people commented on related questions and issues instead.
These included:
- Indecision: "I'll have to look into this more before I form an opinion."
- Current policy: "How do home school kids get credited? Just wondering."
- Funding: "Why would tax money be returned to parents of home schooled children? Would this mean that I, as a taxpayer with no children in school, paying 75% of my taxes for schools, should get money back?"

"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," the book version of the London stage play, has already sold more than two million copes in just two days of release.
That makes it one of the fastest selling books of all-time, albeit a long way from the staggering 8.3 million copies that the final 'Potter' novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" sold on its first day of release in 2007.
Despite plenty of advanced warning from author J.K. Rowling herself, the fact that the book isn't a novel or novelisation but simply the manuscript used for the rehearsal version of the play has not sat well with some fans.
Rowling and Jack Thorne co-wrote said script which has since been tweaked for the final version that is currently running in the United Kingdom.
The story picks up ninteen years after the battle at Hogwarts and is said to be the last Harry Potter Rowling will do, though she is doing the film scripts for the "Fantastic Beasts" trilogy.

In the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu on a busy road exploded two car bombs, according to Reuters, reports
Law enforcement authorities claim at least 22 dead and dozens injured.
The explosion occurred close to government institutions, hotels and restaurants. Destroyed several houses and dozens of cars.
The explosion appeared to target a hotel on a busy road in Hodan district and at least 15 people were injured, police Capt. Mohamed Hussein said. Security forces had been trailing the truck after it raised suspicions, he said.
Police said people were trapped in the rubble of the Safari Hotel, which was largely destroyed in the explosion. The hotel is close to Somalia's foreign ministry. Rescue workers were at the scene.
Gunshots could be heard at the site, and ambulance sirens wailed across the capital, which has been under tight security with military-manned checkpoints.
The explosion left a trail of destruction across a busy intersection, with several bodies and bloodied slippers and shoes. Windows of nearby buildings were shattered. Overturned cars lay in the street, burning. A large plume of smoke rose nearby.
"There was a traffic jam and the road was packed with bystanders and cars," said Abdinur Abdulle, a waiter at a nearby restaurant. "It's a disaster," he said sadly.
The blast occurred two days after the head of the U.S. Africa Command was in Mogadishu to meet with Somalia's president, and two days after the country's defense minister and army chief resigned for undisclosed reasons.
The U.S. military has stepped up drone strikes and other efforts this year against the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, which is also fighting the Somali military and over 20,000 African Union forces in the country.
It is expected that the number of victims will increase.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the bombings. But traditionally such attacks are the militant group Al-Shabab.

These days with a numbskull obtuse racist president in the White House it's hard to find a silver lining. Maybe this will help, or not. But the US has made a lot of mistakes—and somehow we've kept going.
So I'll let that sink in as good news. Our Supreme Court has made lousy decisions, Congress has passed some unjust laws that impinge on the rights of certain demographics, the citizens of these United States have collectively made unwise choices. It's one reason to be afraid of but also believe in democracy. Or maybe it's about having faith.
Faith that the universe will somehow right itself. That people will at some point in history go, My bad! And turn the ship around.
You might think I'm alluding to Dreamers and the end of DACA, to that stupid wall. But, no, I'm referring to the Dread Scott Decision. Sorry, Dred Scott. Also known as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Summarily: this meant that a runaway slave who had resettled in the North, perhaps for as long as 30 years, could now suddenly be fair game for the police. Neighbors, suspecting neighbors, could turn in a black skinned person upon suspicion of them being a runaway. Immediately they could be seized and returned to southern jails to be repatriated to their master.
Much like the Polish doctor who has been in the States legally since age 5, about 30 some odd years, now in custody waiting to be deported. He had a Green Card. And speaks no Polish. His wife and children miss him.
Dreamers and others who at least for now have papers can likely relate to the Fugitive Slave Act. Suddenly one's whole life is turned inside out. You have a job, school, social network, and Poof!
I'm reading a biography of Henry David Thoreau and when the Dred Scott passed and the Fugitive Slave Act he and his friends ran to Boston to stand up for people much like we did when Trump tried to ban Muslim from entering the US, we ran to the airports. In Concord Thoreau and his friends who had already been instrumental in the Underground Railroad now assisted locals in moving on to Canada. A black person was no longer safe anywhere. Without provocation they would be stopped and ordered to show proof/documentation. (Remember they were not able to vote.)
Consider also the division this caused among law-abiding whites. They were simply following the law. Isn't that what Sarah Huckabee-Sanders was trying to say the other day to the press corp. Except that one needs to stop and think: these laws are anathema to the Constitution.
I guess that's why "On Civil Disobedience" resonated back then as it does now. Sometimes we simply have to follow our conscience and hope eventually the laws will change.
The case of Fred Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case concerning the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, which ordered Japanese Americans into internment camps during World War II regardless of citizenship.
We've dealt with shit, will continue to deal with shit, and work towards a shit-free world.

New from Rabbit Room Press: The Light Princess
Since the earliest days of Rabbit Room Press, one of our dreams has been to issue beautiful editions of books by authors we love. And ... Read More
By Pete Peterson •
Saturday night I had the pleasure of seeing the Resurrection Letters concert here in Nashville. Jill and her husband Andy Gullahorn sang this song, "Any Other Way", and I was reminded of how much I love this record. It's about the struggle and reward of marriage and it's especially touching to hear them sing it together and be able to hear the sincerity and history coming through in their voices. Truly a beautiful thing.
Pete Peterson is the author of the Revolutionary War adventure The Fiddler's Gun and its sequel Fiddler's Green. Among the many strange things he's been in life are the following: U.S Marine air traffic controller, television editor, art teacher and boatwright at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch, and progenitor of the mysterious Budge-Nuzzard. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Jennifer, where he's the Executive Director of the Rabbit Room and Managing Editor of Rabbit Room Press.
One of my all-time favorite albums. The authenticity in it is pretty incredible. This is one of my favorite songs on the album, along with "All the Good Things". Wow. . . awesome songs! Thank you Jill and Andy for your gifts, your authenticity, and your vulnerability. You guys rock!
I, too, was at the show Saturday night. My husband and I are from Michigan and we were in town visiting with our friends and although our friends didn't know it would be so meaningful to me, it was a dream come true to worship with this group of people. When Andy sang, "Any Other Way" the tears began to roll, and Truth sank in deeper. There is so much power in honesty.
Long live the Rabbit Room Tuesday Song of the Day! Hey Jill and Andy! Love this song.
I don't know that I've ever listened to the two of them sing this song and not gotten the ol' lump in the throat. I especially love the bridge: "When we first met, love was a feeling. But making it last, that's a decision. A good decision." Such a simple, sweet summary of what marriage is. I love all of Jill's records, but this one takes the cake.
The first time I heard this song I thought to myself, "wow, we've been through the same thing as Jill and Andy." Then I went back and listened again and realized the song never says exactly what happened and that I was just projecting, which speaks to how intensely personal these words are. Even though we don't get all the gritty details, we hear the pain of the trial and feel the sweetness of it's redemption. And this simple, honest story bolsters hope. "If we wanted change at all, the pain was a prerequisite" a truth that bowls me over every time I hear it. Thanks, Gullahorns.
I was there Saturday night too–what a treat. This album has been on repeat at my house for the last two months, as has Resurrection Letters, so I was the dork singing along to everything. 🙂 Thanks Andrew and team for the special evening in Nashville. Hope the concert in Ohio went well.
Aside from my 3-year-old son who, innocently, is stalking Jill (we can't go anywhere in the car without hearing "I want to listen to Jill"), this was my favorite album of 2009. I greatly admire the overall vulnerability of this record. The Gullahorns have such a tremendous way with melody and writing memorable hooks. Thanks for this song, Jill. The Peters are fans.
It's Jill's fault.
I was a fan of hers back in 1999 with her self-titled album.
Being tired of the pop/gospel/ccm machine and being tortured slowly by the same 10 songs on the radio, I sought after different music.
Jill's music seemed to be where my likes were – folk/softrock kind of thing.
So, with a little light research on Jill's site in 2006, I found the square pegs.
I was introduced to Andy G, Andy O., Ben S. Randall G. Eric P, and AP. Then, found through time Sara G and Sandra M. I was enveloped with great music.
Not long after that I was introduced to the RR and have been found new and different books. (I will save the authors names to keep post short)
It's all because of Jill, I have been enriched with real, talented, down to earth artists.
Thanks for being human, Jill (And Co.)
We had an interesting conversation in our house recently. My kids were discussing whose music was better: Andy Gullahorn's or Jill Phillips'. It was a split decision.
"What if they had a footrace?" I asked. They seemed to think Jill would win. Andy might be the better bowler.
This is one of my favorite songs that ever come Jill (and Andy). And that's saying something since I love all of their output…
This is the kind of song that needs to be heard.
Thanks for all the kind words, folks. You are right Jonathan, Andy could beat me in bowling (very badly) but I could totally take him in a foot race!
This is maybe my favorite CD of all time. Last year I went through some pretty tough times, and "All the Good Things" played over and over in my head, reminding me that He was still showering me with unseen blessings beyond number. Thanks for making music that helped keep me going on very difficult days.

Which Elephant Are You Willing To Drop?
If you're overwhelmed because you're facing too much to do, ask yourself this simple question: "Which elephant are you willing to drop?" Some of the elephants you are juggling are elephants because of perfectionist tendencies, negative peer pressure from others, or even a lack of clarity about your purpose. And the only thing that might be hurt if the elephant IS dropped might be your pride or your facade that you can get it all done.
This doesn't mean you don't have legitimate stress, overloaded schedules, and the need to better manage your time. But if the elephant has been inflated by your denial of reality or the facts, it might be best to just let it drop... and not pick up one like it next time.

Will you join me in this epic autobiographical poetry project for 2019? Please share with all your poetic blogger friends! The idea is that a growing community of us on WordPress write epic life poems to encapsulate our lives, periodically evolving the poems so that our evolving perspectives and experiences are reflected.
Every time we update our poems, we re-post them, and we mention in our introductions (this bit you're reading) all the other bloggers involved in the project, and link to all those bloggers. (If it becomes massive, we'll have to list the poets on static pages on our blogs).
We all call our poem 'All Our Tomorrows' which will hopefully increase traffic to our sites and you know, become a 'thing'. Also, giving our poems this title will hopefully help us reflect in our poetry, over time, the fact that all human beings' pasts and futures are intertwined.
Duplicating lines between poets in the project is also encouraged, (please get permission from the poet whose lines you wish to use, and be sensible i.e. don't request to duplicate an entire verse from someone else! Remember, if you pass on a line, the person you pass it to may pass it on again, and so on). As well as listing the All Our Tomorrow's community in your post intro's, please credit individual lines to whoever you have sourced them from, if they are not your own.
Thus we will be encouraged to write a community of autobiographical poems that has some overlap and develops something of a shared vocabulary. Despite our individuality, there will be threads of poetry in our experiences which resonate beyond us. And so we will develop our own special tradition. The idea is to try to span your whole life in the poem, eventually.
This is a project that I would love to see experienced poets as well as beginner poets join. Note that every time you re-post, (or 'stick' the poem for a few days at the top of your blog page) it is also a chance to redraft and improve your poem -even the bits that describe experiences which haven't in your view changed. You can re-post as often or as little as you want (I haven't touched my poem in weeks). Please also write 'All Our Tomorrows' as a tag for these posts, so folk can find us as we get more and more well known! So far in the All Our Tomorrows community there is…just me, Matthew Kalessin.
Below is the beginnings of my epic poem. A history of my life which I hope sheds some light on the issues that I care about, in a way that may also inspire others. Over time I intend it to develop to be a reflection of everything that I see as vital within me; everything that is expressed through the Epic Tomorrows blog and business.
All Our Tomorrows
Next time I come I will kill the Man inside
I was birthed in a waspital, Scots-beseiged
He gave grey opium to my fragile mother
In-out skirts of Europe's heroin city
Trial clinic, Empire pushing it on China
-The Scots mountains glowered
But the light of my Spirit daybroke
Pulsing for the justice to be
Far from the north is the English southwest
We moved for the sake of Father Career
Forgotten wee lassies and laddies just gone
Two girls and a boy, my coven my clan
Paled for Him, rugged, the eagle's decline
Lesser buzzards, scanned the factory lowlands
Neither they, nor I could make sense of this botch
-Patchwork, the bank-rolling countryside irks
Quilted confused…market-town fused
From aged three I was praised without boundary
But vaguely blamed for failures in the fable home
-That was my mother, I was provided for
Instilled with liberty's statue, that was mother
And my poor dear father, I was traumatised
In the porch, three years after Scotland
-You left, the never-returner –trauma echoes daily
I played with girls carnally young and free
Explorer of sensuality, piano keys and paper
A little older I touched boys, that was me too
The big shock of big school, soul's blocked unfurling
Uncompromising sports field, trust degraded
Of the life of the Father, sickening classroom
Sometimes I found wilderness, self-touched in mud
Reluctant into Manhood's violent ways
Now aged sixteen, mind heavy, metal rebel
Pierced and couldn't kiss the numbed young women
They meant too much to me and most of them
Seemed bewildered, maybe traumatised by Him
I never knew genderqueer, this was 'ninety-five
And Queer favours the city -didn't live there
Yet my genderwild Spirit fought its way undefined
Amidst brambles, meadows and cannabis smoke
At eighteen on a trampoline, my desperate lock on
To a woman, 'men have girlfriends' Father said
Went to university 'because that's what men do'
Father said. I learnt how Greece and Rome
Got away with murder, (Catullus and his cunts)
Smoked too much skunk, bombed on speed
Ate the junk food of the Man, ate it all
In Midlands towns, dead canal's hope
This renegade son did fancy women some
Too shy for Father's laid out courtship role
So I grabbed hold of another I was indifferent to
'This is what men do' spake Father, 'now chain your heart'
The metal got angrier, I broke down came home
Mother-coddled again, diag-supposed a 'social phobic'
Father said 'you are inept at my game
-There's no other' (Phobic of that is no illness)
I was grain-fed diag-dozed-bull-nosed 'depressed,
Moderately, with psychotic features' i.e. Father's sins
Obfuscated in this painful presentation
Capabilities pressed-down and frustrated
Then pressed-down and frustrated by medications more
Which sought to check my lofty projections
Of what humanity could achieve in me
And the others I knew who took their own lives
I learnt the Buddha-Dhamma and it was life
To realise deep in space, I'm neither he nor she
I took up boxing, to kill the Man inside me
Learnt tantra alone, came in fountains of rainbow
Joy of Holy Spirit coursing through in
Moments healing every Fatherly ill
'No-one could touch me' but I wanted touch
Genderwild Spirit, caress of leaf, thorny taunt
Lonely slipped, tripped into pornographic hell
By umbilical cord of deathly cable broke
Free years earlier but the images returned:
Women doing headstands in pools of primordial
Maggots crawling in their eyes, a huge dais
Supported on their feet, atop of which, a throne
Occupied by Father which is to say haunted
By fetid sob of guilty rage, repeated zombified
-I met a woman as selfish as I –as sweet
The destruction of She, of Earth, mental health
On her land we built against, railed against, unlawful
Silent haven with a magick core of confluence
Karmic threads infinite, there where redemption
Of everything was possible, yet the tragedy was
Our love was not equal to our difference
Or the madness of the district's laws
Labelled again, 'borderline personality disorder'
This fine personality disarrayed on society's fringes
-This society disordered, by a Romanian shrink
Border-ashamed of her agrarian country past
She assured me it was 'modernising' (Father spake)
Like her profession's pills would 'modernise' me
The pills that traumatised I now refused to take
And her suggestion that my unfinished projects
Were a sign of illness and not the poetry
Of an expansive mind spiralling out to completion
Through ever grander, superseding ventures
Like the mass adventure of humanity itself
-Then named 'bi-polar', this sort of oriented
My map –no time to teach the new doc
Long hungover as I was from illicits and psychiatrics
But thank you doc yes, a certain soaring, a crash
'Schizoaffective disorder' was then slapped on by
A young psych-twist who received the careless
Wilful spin I gave my condition that day
In orders that I profit from the welfare state hateful
Yet I had no need, for the whispers were real
The sensitive Cosmos is all my affect
And clear to me, flickering through this no-mind
Too quick for doc to notice, but voices keep stock
-The first time delectable, the only sweet time
I ever fell for a man, walked onto a farm
He was shovelling earth, we both knew at once
Our conversation, bisexual could stay just in talking
Relief of revealing release of cross-dressing
-Yet crossing what? Patriarchy's nasty 'transvestism'
Father's ice way, not admitting our freedom
Spirit spitting fire through genderdom constructs
Spirit castigating the love that is reined
His possessive lust, monogamy, now I realise
Since school days of awakening sexuality
When I'd pen epic erotica of all the girls
That my sex is liberated but greater than that
My love, my soul is unfettered is the quick
And deep growth is the sun's love, the shoot
(Even when through us Earth wars with Herself)
-To Rojava! Where the women determine themselves
Defend and study the science of themselves
In a gaping whole blasted through the nation state
That drew my Spirit through the cybersphere
English comrades have gone, recalling Spain
To where the town decides what's best for the town
Attacked by cold Turkey, Father Erdogan
Accruing weapons from the bitch at Britain's helm
Thirteen painted ominous and absent by such men
Thirteen moons birthed roots thirteen of oceans well:
First moon wilderness, second, wilderless human builds
Third, the body's hoelth, fourth, Godly dirty ecstasy
Fifth, materials to live, sixth, a family to give love
Seventh, community, eighth, a society to give worth
Ninth, worth spoken and heard, tenth, understood, eleventh
Created afresh, twelfth, in Spirit, thirteenth all dramatically told
Now finally the genderqueen's Voodoo chile
Erupts from my guts, an alien to some
Plans plenty hatched but yet to conquer
Yet to soar like the Scottish golden raptor
Now I don't want, particularly, women or men
Most would put me out back in a box again
The same old has failed, chaste in my rebellion
If you're not a rebel with me, chase me hard
But if you are genderwild I may rainbow come to you
Killing the Man inside that has kept us sweetly sick
Be we he, she, both, neither, inbetween
And orgasm as yourself and say no to all drugs
-Now frightened I crouch in my rural base
Dartmoor rocks, gushing Spirit mine, inexhausts
Was I never a Man? –never would I be –I was never
Mentally Ill –all I'm is this Rising Up!

The Percy Hedley Foundation celebrated its 65th birthday today!
On the same day in 1953, our story began when Percy Hedley School opened its doors for the first time to 12 children with cerebral palsy.
Residents from Chipchase House and Ferndene Bungalows came together with people from Hedleys Able 2 to have a celebratory coffee and cake morning.
Chipchase resident Stephen Darke, who was one of the first children at Percy Hedley School in 1953 did the honours and cut the cake for everyone to enjoy.
It was Stephen's parents, Stephen and Molly Darke, who first campaigned for a school where their disabled son, and others like him, could go.
They wrote to the Evening Chronicle, appealing for other parents for cerebral palsy children to come forward.
Funding came from the Percy Hedley Foundation, a Trust created after the death of a local engineer to support charities in the North East.
Over six decades, the Foundation has grown from a small school to provide support for 1,000 families a year, offering a range of residential and day services.

The spat between the National Seed Association of India (NSAI) and a group of members that include Monsanto and Mahyco Monsanto Biotech (India) Private Limited (MMBL) deepened further. The war of words, which began ever since the Union Government promulgated the Cottonseed Price Control Order, continues.
Compensation sought
The NSAI has asked MMBL to admit and declare that Bollgard-II technology can't give protection against the pink bollworm due to development of resistance by the insect or face huge claims of compensation from farmers.
"If such declaration is not made, there can be huge claims of compensation running to substantial amounts that might go beyond the financial strengths of the member companies," Kalyan B Goswami, Executive Director of NSAI, has said.
In a three-page letter to the BG technology provider in India, the NSAI had said that it had begun to receive letters from seed regulators, seeking explanation and, in certain cases, compensation for the loss suffered by farmers.
Members divided
The two influential groups of NSAI are at logger heads, expressing their stands in exchange of letters to one another and to the government. The NSAI supported the recent Central Order that sought to control the cottonseed prices across the nation, while the other group opposed this stand.
"Even if there is a damage of 2-3 quintals an acre, the claims could run up to ₹10,000 an acre against the seed cost of about ₹2,000. Compare this against a margin of ₹400/acre the companies make. In case you choose not to declare that the bollworm developed resistance to BG-II, we request you to take the responsibility for any compensation claims that might arise from the cotton crop sown in 2016-17," it said.
Meanwhile, 11 top players in the cottonseed industry, mostly multi-national firms, have told the Union government that they are not party to the NSAI campaign in support of the Price Control Order.
11 companies oppose
Avoiding a direct opposition to the price control order, they argued that the firms invested heavily on research and development of seeds and that they should be rewarded accordingly. The NSAI had openly backed the Order, saying that it would help solve the ambiguity in ascertaining the seed price for ever in the country.
The 11 firms asked the government to take into consideration their views, while taking decisions that would impact the industry.
In a letter to the Joint Secretary (Seeds), the firms have alleged that the NSAI (National Seed Association of India) platform was being misused to serve the interests of a few companies.
The letter was signed by Shivendra Bajaj of ABLE-AG on behalf of Monsanto, Mahyco, BASF, Bayer, Dow, DuPontPioneer, Syngenta and Rasi Seeds, Metahelix, Namdhari and Bioseed.
"We request the government not go by the representations being made by the current leadership of NSAI, while taking decisions that restrict the creation of intellectual property in the Indian seed industry. Their stand would eventually harm the interests of Indian farmers," Bajaj said.
"We have written to the NSAI President expressing our strong disagreement with the association's stand. We want to put on record that the NSAI statements do not represent the views of a large majority of seed companies and members of NSAI like us. We strongly believe that innovative research should be incentivised to create value for farmers," Shivendra Bajaj said.

I have found a tour that begins at 9:30 a.m. and i am trying to figure out if the scheduled 8:00 am arrival in port will allow us time to get off the ship and make it the 3 km to the starting point of the tour? Also, does anyone know if taxi's are readily available at the port? Will being in a suite be of any advantage in getting off faster? Thank you for any advice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
