Find out how a non-Saint who had never even been to St Helena came to write the island's national song…
Below: How it came to be written • The song itself • For posterity • Read More
As a British overseas territory, the official national song of St Helena is, of course, the British National Anthem 'God Save the King/Queen'. But the unofficial national song is 'My St Helena Island'.
Our national song was written by an American called Dave Mitchell, who was not a Saint and had never even been to St Helena!
How it came to be written ∧
Dave Mitchell, nicknamed 'Old Saddlebags', was a Country & Western Disc jockey on AFN Volcano Radio on Ascension Island. He was also a ham radio operator. Dave was introduced to Saints on Ascension Island by one of his best friends, Charlie Renn, and became involved with them, playing for parties all over the island. It was Charlie who suggested that Dave wrote a song for St Helena. Dave was reluctant to do so, as he had never been to St Helena so Charlie, who had visited the island, promptly brought Dave some large colour postcards of St Helena. Sitting in his room for a night or two studying the postcards, Dave picked up his guitar and in a few minutes the song was written. It is, appropriately, a Country song. The photo is the only known photo of Dave Mitchell performing (left, with hat).
The song was an immediate hit with the Saints on Ascension Island. With the help of recording company Camaro Records, Dave made two 45-rpm records (4 songs) in Memphis, Tennessee in 1975, receiving 600 copies, 400 of which were supposed to have been distributed to USA radio stations but apparently never were. Dave and Charlie had planned to make a trip to St Helena to deliver some records and some photographs of himself in person but it proved not to be possible so he had to mail them instead. The reaction on St Helena was as enthusiastic as that of the Saints on Ascension Island and 'My St Helena Island' quickly became the de-facto National Song of St Helena.
Dave was delighted that the RMS St Helena took to playing his song whenever the ship left port, saying it gave him a big thrill to know that his song hadn't been forgotten. Dave died in 2003 but his song is still played regularly as a request on local radio.
The song itself ∧
In case you can't make them out from the audio file{1}, here are the lyrics:
(Note the line So is your fancy cars, suggesting that Dave Mitchell had been around Saints so much he had picked up their ways of speaking!)
For posterity ∧
As part of the St Helena airport development a time-capsule was buried beneath the new terminal building in June 2014. Contained within is an mp3 file of 'My St Helena Island'. This should no-doubt fascinate archaeologists in many years to come!

Article: Fascinating facts about 10 national anthems
By Arika Okrent, published on theweek.com 22nd July 2013{2}
If you listen to a bunch of national anthems one after the other, they all start to sound pretty much alike. The typical anthem is in the musical style of a march or a hymn, and the lyrics have to do with struggles for freedom and independence, beautiful landscapes, and symbols of unity and pride. But every anthem has a story - not just of its nation's history, but of itself and how it came to be. The fascinatingly comprehensive site www.nationalanthems.info has the full background, lyrics, and music on 'over 400 anthems, past and present'. Here are some interesting facts about 10 of them.
1. Malaysia: an on-the-spot decision
The national anthem of Malaysia originated in a moment of panic for an aide to the Sultan of Perak. When the sultan arrived in London at the invitation of Queen Victoria in 1888, the aide was asked for the music to the anthem so that it could be played during the welcome ceremony. He thought it would look bad to admit they had no anthem, so he hummed the melody of a popular tune from the Seychelles. He then told the sultan what he had done, and reminded him to stand when the tune was played. It remained the official anthem of the state of Perak, and when Malaysia became an independent nation in 1957, it was chosen as the national anthem and new lyrics were written for it.
2. Mexico: written under duress
In 1853, Mexico held a contest to see who could write the most inspiring poem to serve as the lyrics of an official national anthem. The girlfriend of the poet Francicso González Bocanegra tried to convince him to write something, but he wasn't interested, so she locked him in a room in her parents' house filled with pictures of scenes from Mexican history until he came up with something. She let him out after he slipped a 10-verse poem under the door. The poem went on to become the national anthem, and the girlfriend went on to become the poet's wife.
3. St Helena: never been there but it sounds nice
The tiny South Atlantic island of St Helena is under British rule, but they have an anthem that is played when the RMS St Helena leaves port. It was written by an American named David Mitchell who had never been to St Helena. He was working on the nearby island of Ascension Island (only 1,300Km away) when a friend who had been to St Helena suggested he write an anthem. Inspired by looking at some postcards of the island, he came up with 'My St Helena Island', the only country-and-western-style national anthem in the world.
4. Netherlands: fun with word games
The anthem of the Netherlands did not become official until 1932, but the song had been around for at least 300 years before that. The lyrics consist of 15 verses and make up an acrostic for Willem van Nassov, a hero of the Dutch revolt against Spain. Taken together, the first letter of each verse spells out his name (though in modern orthography it comes out as 'Willem of Nazzov').
5. Andorra: a first-person narrator
Many national anthems tell a story about the nation's founding or history. Only Andorra's anthem tells its story in the first person, with the nation referred to as 'I.' The 'I' of Andorra is imagined as a princess being protected by her princes (the people):
The great Charlemagne, my Father, liberated me from the Saracens,
6. Cook Islands: making beautiful music together
The national anthem of the Cook Islands, officially adopted in the early 1980s, was written by a husband-and-wife team. The music was composed by Sir Thomas Davis, the prime minister at the time, and the lyrics, in Maori, were written by his wife, Pa Tepaeru Terito Ariki, a tribal high chief.
7. Czech Republic and Slovakia: a 50-50 divorce
When Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918, it created an anthem by combining one verse from a Czech opera (Fidlovačka) and one from a Slovak folk song ('Kopala studienku'). When Czechoslovakia split up in 1993, the anthem was simply split up too, with the first verse going to the Czech Republic and the second going to Slovakia.
8. France: parental discretion advised
Lots of national anthems are about the violent battles that gave rise to nationhood or liberation, but they usually focus on the glory more than the blood. France's anthem, 'La Marseillaise', doesn't sugarcoat, keeping things incredibly gory, especially in its full version, which refers to blood-soaked flags, soldiers slitting throats, fields being fertilized with the blood of enemies, and metaphorical tigers tearing apart the breasts of their mothers.
9. South Africa: bringing it all together
Until the end of apartheid in South Africa, the official national anthem was the Afrikaans 'Die Stem van Suid-Afrika', but a different song, 'Nkosi Sikelei' iAfrika', served as the anthem for the African National Congress and the anti-apartheid movement. In 1997, both melodies were united (resulting in an anthem that begins and ends in different keys) and new lyrics were written, incorporating five languages. The song begins with two lines of Xhosa, followed by Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, and English.
10. United States: not declared until 1931
'The Star Spangled Banner' was a popular choice for official state occasions in the 19th century, but it wasn't the only one. 'Hail, Columbia' and 'My Country 'Tis of Thee', among others, also served as anthems until 1931, when Congress declared 'The Star Spangled Banner' official. The tradition of playing it before every baseball game didn't start until WWII.

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him.The New York Times' only story on World Youth Day is titled "Catholic Clergy Protest Pope's Visit, and Its Price Tag". The fact that one million young people are coming to Spain to celebrate the Catholic faith and to welcome Pope Benedict XVI seems to be of little importance to them.
– Matthew 5:1
Somehow the NYT was able to track down a group of Catholics that had something negative to say about this wonderful event. You'd probably assume that this group wants to question the Church's teachings on women's ordination or "homosexual marriage". Hardly.
|Fr. Eubilio Rodríguez
His other area of concern seems to be that the Church hierarchy is too distant from the people that it serves. Who would argue with that? I'm sure there are some very good bishops that complain about the very same thing.
I did not find any information on the group's website about the size of the group. The NYT says that 120 clergymen have signed their petition. I don't know where they got that number from. I couldn't find any indication of who the signers might be. I wonder how many priests there are in Madrid altogether? Did the NYT just decide that since the name of the group is Priests of Madrid that all the priests in Madrid automatically are in agreement with Father Eubilio? Maybe. Who knows.
The New York Times article emphasized that Father Eubilio is not happy with the cost of the Papal visit and that he would like to see some of that money spent on the poor. This is not exactly a new issue. See the Gospel account in Matthew for example.
Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor."Can you imagine the New York Times headline? "Disciples Protest Jesus' Visit and Its Price Tag". Some things never change.
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me."
– Matthew 26:6-11

If you want to travel by train and bus, or you want to cycle and walk, it can be tricky to work out the route. So I thought I would take a look at a few web sites that do a lot of the work for you.
Google Maps
The updated journey planning features on Google maps include route planning for walking and driving. I use Google Maps a lot when I need to get to a place I haven't been to before, this is partly to see if there is a rail station near by so that I can then work out a rail journey and costs via the National Rail Enquiries web site. But it is also useful for planning bus journeys and walking.
The walking route planner probably makes my 'walk to Waterlooville' map application redundant. The new route planner allows you to put start address and end address, you then click on the 'Get Directions' button and your route is drawn on the map, complete with time to complete the journey, distances to walk and directions. If you are unhappy with the route you can move the start or end addresses and Google Maps alters the route.
I just wish they would add cycling.
Cycle Streets
If you want to plan a cycling journey then the best site for that is Cycle Streets. This works on similar principles, however the amount of detailed information about roads, hills and carbon emissions saved is outstanding!
First of all you type in your start and end points, the site then gives you the option of different cycling speeds, Unhurried (10mph), Cruising(12mph) and Quick(15mph). It then calculates the journey based on your chosen speed.
The results give you a choice of a Balanced route, Fastest route or a Quiet route. The Quietest route may not be the most direct since it will avoid busy roads. The results also show you a profile of the terrain indicating whether the journey is hilly, the distance to travel, a comparison with walking and a list of directions complete with mini maps showing the stretches of roads that you have to cycle along.
The break down of directions also state which roads are busy, whether it is pedestrianized, cycling is permitted, residential, a footpath etc.
Probably the most comprehensive journey planning app on the web!
Travel Line
Like most journey planning map sites this one requires you to enter your start and end points. The difference with this one is that it will produce journey plans using multiple modes of transport. These include Bus, Tram, Coach, Rail, Ferry and Walking. Although walking isn't option that can be selected, it assumes you -for example- have to walk between a bus stop and a train station.
After entering the start and end locations, you put the details of leaving/arrival dates and times and click on the go button.
The site will then work out a number of journey plans, complete with bus numbers, bus and train operating companies, service times (train, bus, ferry etc), walking directions and the time the journey will take.
I have one or two gripes with this site though. One is that it doesn't include cycling as one of the modes, eg. you could cycle to a train station or ferry, then lock the bike up or take it on the train or ferry.
The second is that it assumes that the walking parts of the journey are short, this can result in ridiculously long and convoluted routes being calculated taking public transport services. eg. if your destination is 1 mile away from a rail station, instead of suggesting you walk it from there, it will suggest a convoluted bus route that will require say about 3 buses and a 6 mile deviation. So instead of taking 1 hour, the calculated route may be 2 hours!
There maybe ways of forcing it to consider walking, admittedly I have only used it once so I might have not seen all the options. Also any sensible person would see errors like that and choose to walk.
Despite these problems, it is a very good way of finding out about services that operate in areas that you are not familiar with.
(Added: In retrospect I was probably a bit unfair. Despite some flaws, Travel Line does produce some nice maps that can be printed to help on the journey and will even animate the journey, showing icons of buses etc. travelling along the route)
National Rail Enquiries
This site is the main place to find out about train journeys, including ticket prices for specific journeys, train times and the number of changes you need to make for a specific journey. Like most of the planner sites, you give it the start and end points (rail stations in this case) and the leaving/arrival times/dates.
First Bus and Stagecoach
These sites provide downloadable bus timetables and bus route maps for different areas. They are more 'traditional' in the way they provide information.
For many journeys you can use a combination of these sites for planning. Google Maps can be used for a walking section of a journey, whilst National Rail Enquiries can be used on a rail section and Cycle Streets can be used to work out a cycling route to the station.
Hope that is useful. Many keen internet users will already know of these sites, however many are not aware of all the options. If you know of other useful sites, leave a comment.

HOUSTON --A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to trade the 18th overall pick in the NBA draft to Houston for Chase Budinger.
The deal brings in a veteran perimeter player that coach Rick Adelman knows well from his days as a coach with the Rockets. The person told the AP about the move on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because it has not been officially announced. Yahoo Sports first reported the deal.
udinger averaged 9.6 points and 3.7 rebounds and shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range in his third year with the Rockets last season.
Houston now owns the 14th, 16th and 18th picks in the draft, plenty of ammunition to make a bigger move on Thursday.

Actress Linda Cardellini is engaged to her longtime boyfriend.
The Mad Men star and her partner, Steven Rodriguez, are already parents to one-year-old daughter Lilah-Rose, and on Thursday (06Jun13) he popped the question over dinner with family and friends after taking in a performance of Tom Hanks' Broadway play Lucky Guy, which also features Cardellini's former ER co-star, Maura Tierney.
Announcing the news during an appearance on chat show The View on Friday (07Jun13), the bride-to-be said, "I was surprised that it was happening at that moment because we were actually with some of the people that I love most: my sister, my cousins, and one of my best friends, Maura...
"We were watching Lucky Guy, the play... and we're all sitting there, having dinner... and he started getting choked up and he got down on his knee, it was very beautiful. It was nice to share it with people."
Blushing as she showed off her diamond ring for the cameras, she joked, "I'm not ready for this, my manicure is terrible!"

From Ipswich, Suffolk, England:
A relative, who has newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, was prescribed Isoptin, and I have read that there is a possibility of added fatigue. I am worried because he is a lorry driver, and I would like to know if it may affect his job by not being safe to drive. It is a worry to me. Could you advise the possible effects of long term use of Isoptin?
Loperamide (Isoptin) belongs to a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers which are widely used in the prevention and treatment of the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. Undue fatigue is reported as a complication in less than 2% of patients but clearly could be a problem for someone who is a long distance lorry driver.
Your friend should discuss this issue with his doctor because there are two other groups of drugs that can substitute. These are angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (Lisinopril) which may also cause fatigue but not neccesarily in the same people and the newer angiotensin II receptor blockers.

Venting a bit - a bit down today. I worked so hard to get an associates degree. Went part time, as I also worked. Went for four long years (when it normally takes two) and finally got the degree in 1997. I felt so proud, and thought I would keep going to college for a Bachelor's. Struggled to keep going with moderate depression at the time and a horrible break-up with an ex..kept going..even when family said I was taking "forever" and that I was living in a fantasy world..another 5 years..at the age of 41, I finally received my Bachelor degree.
Decided I would try to keep going and get a Master's in Social work, but when I saw how much debt I was in from nine years of college..I decided to not keep going. That I would (hopefully) get a decent paying position. When I received my degree two years ago..the job market and economy were not good and I went into customer service and inside sales because I really enjoy it. I thought I would eventually find something that pays a bit better because of the degrees. I thought college degrees opened doors..but I feel my education was wasted. I still struggle like I did before and live paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes I even have to ask my Dad for financial help, which is humiliating and embarrasing.
I try to go to interviews at positions that pay more, and I feel intimidated, like I am not "worthy" of higher salary. Does anyone feel like this? So, I stay in the same low salary positions, because I feel I am not good enough to make over $35,000 a year. Pretty bad..huh? Can anyone relate? Like they are not headed to where they want to be..because something gets in the way like self esteem, etc? Thanks for listening.

the bottem lineand look at your degrees as an acomplishment not a steppin stone i loved my job i was outside playin in the dirt and it was a polar opposite of what i went to school for but i was happy
hope this helps a little
I have walked the road of recovery
for sometime now
I look behind and see progress
though slow and alone it was
I look foward and see no end
I am alone.......
then a hand touched each shoulder so tender
so I looked to both sides and I found friends
who dont walk behind nor ahead
but by my side
I am not alone.......
and through my endless journey
I hope to see them reach
the end of thier road of recovery
I will always be here
but NEVER ALONE

I know I might wax a bit too phylosophic on this topic so please take what I say with a grain of salt. Realize I am still paying off my student loans too. I received my associates in Horticulture and enjoyed what I was doing and the job I had. After a short time in the field, I realized I really enjoyed the design aspect of the job and went back to school for my Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. I did it because it was something I really enjoyed doing and wanted to learn more about
it. When I graduated and found a job with a landsacpe architecural design firm, that is when it became work. I have since gone on and gotten a master in business. In looking back, I realized I did it because I enjoyed both aspects of the career. I loved designing, meeting with clients, selling my design ideas, and seeing the final project being used close to what was invisioned. I loved many aspects of running a business, developing business strategies, marketing the firm, and seeing projects that I workded on receiving national recognition (all ego driven stuff). I didn't enjoy payroll, cash flow, contract management, and personnel issues. Those all became part of the job that made it become work.
How does this relate, I went to school and learned about
things I loved and wanted to learn about
. It made me a better person. Helped me to understand what it was like to set goals and acheive those goals. I don't regret the college years, yes I do regret the student loans, because I not only learned about
my career but I learned that I am a survivor. I can and did accomplish what I set my mind to and did it with a chronic illness.
The time you spent in college is much the same way. It wasn't and never will be a waste. Good was accomplished even if it is just knowing you can complete and overcome a major challenge. I tis easy to look back and say what a waste, I am not getting out of this financially what I had hoped, try and find the intangibles that you gained from your college experience. There are many if you choose to look.
We can respond to irritation with a smile instead of scowl, or by giving warm praise instead of icy indifference. By our being understanding instead of abrupt, others, in turn, may decide to hold on a little longer rather than to give way. Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.

Oh my goodness, I am blown away by the replies from Never alone and Randy. Thanks guys for taking the time to write! Sometimes I really need to get off my pity party and count my blessings. I wonder at times, if the real reason I went to college was to feel better about
myself, and to say I "had" something (since I don't have children or a husband) or for career advancement. I still wonder about
that to this day. Thanks again for your replies. I think doing what you love is better than making a ton of money. Wow..I think it is great Never Alone..that you built your landscaping company from the ground up. I think it would be a great job to be a landscape architect.

Brett Jackson Is Indeed Joining Team USA
As I guessed last week when it was announced that Josh Vitters would be replacing Brett Jackson in the Arizona Fall League, Brett Jackson is indeed joining Team USA next month.
Team USA will first play in the Baseball World Cup during the first two weeks of October before heading off to the Pan Am Games in the second half of the month. Jackson, the Cubs' top prospect, played for Team USA last year as well.
Jackson will finish out the AAA season with the Iowa Cubs, whose last game is today. From there, it remains unlikely that he'll becalled up to the Chicago Cubs this month.

Seniors at the Rochester Older Persons Commission crafted wooden holiday decorations from old logs and branches on Nov. 28. Using machinery including band saws, drill presses and other tools, a handful of crafty seniors created a sizable reindeer, creche, and Christmas trees.
The holiday woodworking project is part of the OPC�s ongoing shop classes, where students learn a trade under the direction of volunteer skilled craftsmen.
�It�s a pretty creative use of cut down trees,� said participant Ruthmarie Atallah. �In Oakland Township, we have a lot of trees that are coming down, so this is something fun and nice to do. My grandchildren will love this.�

School of History
Dr Sara Barker
Lecturer in Early Modern History
+44 (0)113 343 8400
Summary: Early Modern France, especially late sixteenth and early seventeenth century: history of printing, books and news, particularly international works and translation; the European Reformation.
Location: Michael Sadler building 3.08
After undergraduate studies at the University of Durham and an MA in Early Modern History at the University of York, I undertook my doctoral research at the University of St Andrews. From here, I went to Paris as a postdoctoral research fellow on the St Andrews French Vernacular Book Project. From 2009-2010, I was the postdoctoral research fellow on the Renaissance Cultural Crossroads project, based in the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick. Before joining the School of History in Leeds in September 2014, I spent four years as Lecturer in European History 1500-1750 at the University of Exeter.
In 2012 I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. I'm also an elected member of the Bibliographical Society, and a member of the Society for Renaissance Studies, the Sixteenth Century Studies Society and the Renaissance Society of America. I am on the committee of the Centre for the Comparative History of Print (Centre ChoP) at Leeds, and I am on the editorial board of Library and Information History.
Research Interests
I am interested in the cultural, social and political history of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe.
My early research focused on sixteenth-century France, and the processes and effects of the French Reformation, particularly how different media forms were used to explore different problems faced by the French Reformed community during the period of the Wars of Religion.
Current Projects
My current research focuses on early printed news and its movement between different countries, in particular translations of news pamphlets in western Europe in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. I am interested in printed news before the development of the newspaper, in particular the ways in which news moved between countries, which stories were translated and why, the sources used for news reports, the formats that were used, how stories were told and translated, and the ways in which printers sold foreign news to readers. My work combines detailed textual analysis of the translations undertaken and consideration of broader concerns about change, time, space and community identity in the post-Reformation era. As part of this, I have worked with projects like the Universal Short Title Catalogue at the University of St Andrews, and I was an Associate Member of the News Networks In Early Modern Europe Network. In 2017, I was awarded the Katherine F. Pantzer Jr Fellowship by the Bibliographical Society to investigate formatting and typographical changes in translated news pamphlets. As well as publishing several essays on related aspects, I am currently working on a monograph, provisionally titled New and True? Translation, News and Pamphlets in Early Modern England and France'.
I'm also interested in the ways that the events of the French Reformation and the French Wars of Religion were recorded, both at the time and as they passed into history. I was awarded a Huntington Fellowship in 2017-18 to investigate how the French Wars of Religion were written about in England as they were happening, comparing original compositions with translations of French works. I've also got an interest in how the French Wars of Religion have been represented in art, literature and film over time.
I also research print practices and history of the book. I received funding from the Printing Historical Society in 2016-17 to investigate how and why printers copied each others works during the French Wars of Religion. This project led to a bigger project, funded by a British Academy Small Grant, looking at printing piracy during the French Wars of Religion. I have also edited a collection of essays on International Exchange in the European Book World with Matthew McLean at the University of St Andrews.
Postgraduate Supervision
I welcome enquiries from students wishing to pursue research in the following fields:
- Printing history, particularly in the sixteenth-eighteenth centuries
- early modern European cultural history
- the cultural impact of the Reformation
- early modern French cultural, social or political history
If you are interested in working in these or connected areas, please email me a 500 word outline of your proposed topic and a copy of your CV.
Undergraduate Teaching:
HIST2073: Most Christian Kings develops from my ongoing fascination with early modern French culture. The module explores life in France between the accession of Francis I and the death of Louis XIV, and the problems of the French state at this time. We look at the institutions, the people and the places of early modern France, and their ongoing legacy in the modern world.
HIST3497: Printing and Books in Early Modern Europe is designed to introduced students to one of the most vibrant and interdisciplinary areas of early modern studies, and to draw on the wealth of resources we have in Leeds. Students learn about the business and practicalities of printing, as well as about books, authors and readers. We have sessions in Special Collections in the Brotherton Library, as well as visiting the Print Room in the School of English and the Leeds Library.
HIST3688: The French Wars of Religion is inspired by the period that made me want to become a historian, which I first encountered as an undergraduate and which went on to become the focus of my masters and doctoral studies the series of civil wars that ripped France apart for nearly four decades at the end of the sixteenth century. The module presents a fascinating mix of religion, politics, war & violence, with students becoming familiar with the full range of French society: monarchs, noblemen and women, merchants, peddlers, students, farmers and foot-soldiers.
I also contribute to HIST1060: Faith, Knowledge and Power, 1500-1750 and to HIST2557: Thinking about History.
My research also informs how these modules are taught. As someone interested in how information travels, I encourage students to think beyond the content of a source to consider how its material composition affects its reception. I make extensive use of online digital material, from sites like EEBO, Gallica, and Jocande. In lectures, I use images, music, tv clips and scenes from films to bring the early modern period into the classroom. My overall teaching aim is to open up sixteenth and seventeenth-century Europe to those who are a bit nervous about studying new areas at degree level and to give them the confidence to tackle some of the big questions that emerge from this era.
Teaching enhancement work:
I am very interested in keeping up to date with the latest work on university education: in my previous post at the University of Exeter, I contributed to departmental and college workshops on developing online support tools for students. I have also taken part in HEA workshops and conferences on using film and TV to teach early modern history. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and was also awarded an Aspire Fellowship in 2013 at the University of Exeter. I also tweet about early modern things I come across from teaching, researching and in everyday life at@DrSKBarker and blog about teaching and studying history at HE History Hub.
EKT / Esteem Indicators / Media Contact / Advisory roles:
In the past, I have given talks to local community groups and schools on topics such as what history at University is really like and how much early modern people knew about foreign events. I was a contributor to the BBC series 'Inside Versailles'.
I am available to the media for comment on issues relating to the European Reformations, early news history, sixteenth and seventeenth French culture and society and the history of Britains links to the continent.

Expansions: MoMath's gifted program to engage and challenge NYC's brightest math students
Program | Application Process | Pricing | Schedule | Policies
What is Expansions, the gifted program at MoMath?
Featuring programs for mathematically gifted students enrolled in 1st through 12th grades, the Expansions workshops are designed and delivered by MoMath's educational team to illuminate the wonders of mathematics, challenge and inspire students, and broaden their mathematical horizons. With topics ranging from fractals to cellular automata, these afternoon classes provide an opportunity for participants to learn advanced and fascinating topics not included in the standard K-12 curriculum. Plus, your child can benefit from enjoying math together with small groups of talented and focused young scholars.
Expansions offers the following weekly sessions, which are differentiated by mathematical experience, rather than by age or grade. Grade levels shown parenthetically provide rough guidelines, and final placement is based on demonstrated student ability.
- Tetrahedron: For those who are comfortable with addition and subtraction (approx. grades 1-2) — Tuesdays, 4:15 pm to 5:00 pm.
- Hexahedron: For those who have conquered multiplication and division (approx. grades 3-4) — Thursdays, 4:00 pm to 4:45 pm.
- Octahedron: For those who commonly find common denominators (approx. grades 5-6) — Tuesdays, 4:00 pm to 4:45 pm.
- Dodecahedron: For those with functional knowledge of functions (approx. grades 7-8) — Thursdays, 4:15 pm to 5:00 pm.
- Icosahedron: For those who routinely find the roots of polynomials (approx. grades 9-12) — Currently not running due to low enrollment. If you are interested in the Icosahedron sessions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once accepted into the program, students may register for only their assigned class series and must register in advance.
Admission is by application only; past Expansions students must re-apply. At this time, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis as spots become available. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to check on the availability of spots in Expansions.
Due to limited capacity, participation in the 2017-2018 academic year will require full semester enrollment. The Fall 2017 semester runs from September 26 through December 28, 2017 (no classes during Thanksgiving week, November 20-24). The Winter 2018 semester runs from January 2 through March 29, 2018. The Spring 2018 semester runs from April 3 through June 28, 2017. Registration fees are $495 per semester (13 classes). Refunds will not be given for absences or for any other reasons.
Need-based scholarships are available. Scholarship applicants must meet the income guidelines of the federal Free and Reduced Lunch program and provide verification of household income. Scholarship applicants should complete the regular application form online and send a separate email to email@example.com with a request for scholarship application instructions. Please allow at least two weeks for the scholarship committee's review process.
Workshops will run weekly starting on September 26, 2017 through June 28, 2018. No classes will run during Thanksgiving week, November 20-24, 2017. Classes will be held on all other dates throughout the year. No refunds will be given for absences due to any reason.
MoMath will make every effort to run classes as scheduled, but occasionally severe inclement weather or other unusual circumstances beyond MoMath's control may require that a class be cancelled. If such a cancellation occurs, MoMath may, at its sole discretion, offer make-up sessions.
Note that grade-level sessions will run only if a minimum number of participants is reached before the start date of the full session. In the rare event that a grade-level series is cancelled, registrants will be notified and provided with a full refund.
MoMath does not provide make-up classes for absences. Each Expansions series accepts a limited enrollment in order to provide individualized attention to each student. While many reasons may cause a student to miss a class, a registered student holds a reserved seat while others may be turned away due to limited capacity. Additionally, the Museum provides staffing, materials, and other resources based on registration. For these reasons, the Museum has a strict no-refund and no make-up policy.
Adult chaperones are required to wait outside the classroom during classes. In the event that a class is scheduled to end after 5 pm, adults must wait in Additions, the shop at MoMath, and students will be brought to Additions for dismissal.
All Expansions participants are expected to exhibit good behavior to ensure a positive experience for all participants. At its sole discretion, MoMath may remove a student from the Expansions program for behavioral reasons. If a student is removed for behavioral reasons, for either the day or the remainder of the program, no refund will be provided.

Megan Lott, aged nine, and her sister, Holly, almost eight, discuss a love of Strepsils, the perils of blackcurrants and what's swell about living in Al Safa.
What's it like living in Al Safa?
Megan: My dad takes us skiing and we go exercising at Safa Park. My sister and I go on our bikes and my dad runs.
Holly: On our bikes, we're faster than our dad.
Megan: We're really close to Ski Dubai and now we can ski really fast with pizza and French fries!
Er, is that what you have for lunch?
Megan: No! We have a thingy to help us learn quicker. 'Pizza' is go slow and 'French fries' is go fast. It's all about your feet.
Holly: And the hot chocolate is the best in Dubai and has M&M's and marshmallows and cream!
Where else do you play close to your home?
Holly: We can walk to the beach.
Megan: But we don't really like going there because sometimes the red flag is out which means there are blackcurrants which means you're not allowed to swim because it's dangerous.
Ah yes, the dreaded blackcurrants… But aren't you guys strong swimmers?
Megan: We're in the swim team at school which means we're one of the fastest in our class, and we swim in our pool in the compound nearly every day.
Where do you like shopping?
Holly: We go to Park 'n' Shop because it's just over there [points] and I can buy My Pet Shop and my gooey stickers and my drinks and my food and also my aliens.
Your aliens?
Holly: Yes. They're gooey and they're alive. My mum has a baby in her tummy and it looks like a gooey alien.
Megan: But it can't help it because it's only 20 weeks old and not even born!
Where else do you go?
Megan: To Baskin Robbins!
Holly: I go to the chemist all the time and pretend I'm sick because I like the stuff there. I say I have a sore throat so that I can get some yummy Strepsils.
Megan: I prefer the Love Potion at Baskin Robbins. It's a strawberry mixture and has chocolate hearts and caramel in it.
Holly: [dramatically] and luuurve! And write this down. I have a boyfriend and his name is Elliot and he's at Safa School like me. Please put that in your magazine!
What else do you do at school apart from meet your boyfriend?
Holly: We walk there from our house, or ride our bikes.
Megan: My favourite subject is art. I like the playground too, but I'm never normally in it because I have a job as a Resource Manager.
That sounds important. What does it involve?
Megan: I help look after the Blue Balloons – that's the baby class. I have to clean tables and rub off their writing sheets. I had to make an appi…, apple… [looks at mum]… I had to write a letter to say why I was good for the job and then I got a letter back to say I could do it.
Holly: My job is better. I'm Class Council which means I go to meetings and talk to the Principal, Miss Knight. She's nice, but sometimes she shouts because that's what teachers do, especially if I'm chatting.

5 hottest bars in Athens
Don't miss these awesome cocktail bars. The hottest places to unwind after dark.
Baba Au Rum
Now why does it abbreviate to B.A.R.?
Taking its name from a cake soaked in hard liquor, you would expect they take their booze seriously here. You'd be right. Just south of Parliament Square, Baba Au Rum serves a vast variety of cocktail concoctions, with all the classics and many of their own making. Given the name, rum drinks dominate but, with friendly bartenders on hand, they'll mix whatever you fancy. The mood is chilled, the music is old pop, the idea is to linger!
6 Kleitou Street, Athens

Greek island on the mainland
Why skip off to one of Greece's islands when you can have just as grand a time in Athens? In summer, the most glamorous clubs set up shop on the coast, and the hippest of the hip is Island. With décor inspired by the Cyclades, and a sea-view terrace with flickering candlelight, this club is gorgeous. Add ambient, oriental, ethnic and mainstream music plus celebrities and sports personalities, and this is one sexy island to explore.

Beach party for the beautiful
Be seen in the scene. This sea-front designer resort in its fashion-conscious suburb is the place to get your celebrity on. Apart from boasting a restaurant, health bar, steam bath and yoga space, you can also shake your perfectly-toned bottom on the outdoor dance floor, with international DJ's kicking off around noon. Don't forget your suntan lotion, everything else you can find here: from tanned babes and boys to long and tall cocktails!

A for Athens
Make the most of the city's past
Athens has always brimmed with history but its cup also overfloweth with uber-modern bars. One of the most popular rooftop cocktail bars is A for Athens. (You're unlikely to forget that name.) Hugely popular with both locals and travellers, it's open-air terrace makes the most of the city's past, with awesome views of the Acropolis and Parthenon. But this is no museum. It's loud music and club central every weekend! We give it an A+.
Miaouli 2-4, Monastiraki
Tel: +30 21 0644 1215 http://balthazar.gr/?lang=en
Be treated like an emperor
Once the home of a famous starlet, this neoclassical abode, with its magnificent interior and sumptuous courtyard, is possibly the most desired address in town. Complete with outstanding restaurant, Balthazar is also famous for its drinks, with two choices of bars, including a golden-lit garden where trees stand guard as fanciful cocktails and rare wines are offered up to you like you're the emperor. Called Balthazar.

This quilt marks the turning point, between years of my Dad asking in exasperated tones, 'You think you'll ever make any money at that?' -- to his displaying this proudly in his living room and telling all his friends that his daughter was a quiltmaker (even, oh chagrin, asking me years ago if I had a website he could tell them about!)

What do you think? It is a good idea to offer my art on Zazzle products, where shoppers can customize the design, add text or whatever?
The link will take you right to the page… my store there is not open to the public yet.
I started playing on Zazzle with some of my original button designs, thought it would be fun to offer other round products (like earrings and cuff links instead of just buttons) but things keep disappearing… reading the agreements tells me that they will delete products that are poorly described or violate copyright rules. Maybe they think my original clipart crosses and peace signs are stolen designs?
I don't know… so, I'm starting with art.

YOU® is a substance abuse prevention program for 3rd and 4th graders. The primary goal of the program is to develop and nurture each child's sense of uniqueness and self-worth. It further enhances the protective and resiliency factors of children by teaching them appropriate ways for dealing with feelings; steps for making decisions; and skills for healthy living, effective group interactions, and resisting drugs, as provided through the program's "no use" message.
The program is administered by experienced facilitators through eight 50- to 60-minute group sessions, which are designed to be enjoyable for children and include a variety of hands-on activities.
To become a trained facilitator, an individual with group leadership experience (e.g., a teacher, youth leader, counselor, prevention specialist) is recommended to complete a 2-day training. unique YOU® has been implemented with both universal and at-risk populations in school classrooms and in after-school settings as well as with youth groups (e.g., clubs, Scouts). Progam is available in English and Spanish.

There seems to be a growing media attention toward those who are gender neutral or gender confused. While on the treadmill the other day, the TV in front of me had the Ellen Show on and I was intrigued with the captioning I was reading. The person being interviewed desired to be considered gender neutral.
From a Biblical perspective, there is no neutral. God created them male and female. However, I feel we don't fully understand the effects of the Fall. When sin and evil entered, there was more than just a problem with Adam and Eve. The whole universe "fell" into an evil situation. With that said, we are now faced with further consequences of this and each generation progresses.
Today we wake up to a world of desired neutrality where some want us to disregard genetics and focus on how we feel. We are called to be kind and loving in the name of Jesus, but we do not have to agree on this. May we share the truth IN LOVE as Paul told the Ephesians. There is no room for hate in this arena, but the design was to be male or female based on body mechanics. A desire to be someone or something else is a result of the fallen nature of humanity that only Jesus can remedy.

"Best place for lunch near the Leaning Tower of Pisa?"
Centreville, Virginia
We will be in Pisa in mid-September for just enough time to have lunch and would like a good place to eat hopefully with a view of the Tower. Any suggestions?
Need more information? Question already been asked? Let the poster know!

Alessio Signorini from Pisa, Italy
In Piazza Dei Miracoli there are plenty of restaurants. Every time I bring someone to visit the tower I stop for lunch at the Bar San Domenico (Bar San Domenico). It's 2 minutes from the tower, you can look at it while eating, and the food is nice, genuine and reasonably priced.
Ask for Emiliano (the owner) and tell him that I recommended you to go there. You will share a laugh and be friends right away. ;)
Ask for clarification, suggest corrections, or give thanks!

– Recently on The Ric Flair Show, WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair weighed in on Dolph Ziggler's rumored imminent departure from WWE. Flair goes on to say that he hopes the former WWE Intercontinental Champion will stay with the company and work behind-the-scenes. Here are the following highlights:
On wanting Ziggler to stay with the company:
"Well, I've heard that, but I hope it's not true. He has too much left to offer to the business, and I think, I hope I'm not letting the cat out of the bag, I think they want him to work in the office. But he loves Phoenix [Arizona] and I don't know that that will happen, but he [has] got, he can be with the company as long as he wants to be. He's that good. He's that a nice guy and he's that highly thought of, so he's in a good place. I think he's still very much part of the roster and I like seeing him on TV, so I hope he doesn't walk away from it this early. But if he does, I'm sure he [has] done well with his money. He [has] made a lot of money, so he'll be okay."
On whether he thought Ziggler ever got his just due in WWE:
"No. I think he's really a lot more talented than he [has] had a chance to show. He has a chance to show it, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. It's one week on, one week off for Dolph. And that's the way it [has] been for two or three years for him. I think Dolph has just, I think he has so much ability and he [has] been there a long time. People forget. He [has] had a great run and a great career, but he's still young, he looks like a million bucks, and I hope he stays longer."
– On wrestling performers who have not gotten their due in the professional wrestling business:
"Well, my favorite of all time, the guy I bring up all the time that never got his due was Arn Anderson. And there've been other guys, I mean, Barry Windham. I'm trying to think in recent times. I haven't followed as close. I've been watching every week with Charlotte being on, obviously, and watching Sasha [Banks] and all the guys, and Roman [Reigns]."

MIPS 7 Inch Android Tablet, NOVO7 With Android 4.0 'Ice Cream Sandwich' Available Now For $99, Very Affordable … But Worthy?
Today a new standard was set in the tablet world (at least according to the company). MIPS Technologies has announced the release and availability of the first Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) tablet, the NOVO7 for a very affordable $99. Now of course one has to wonder at this price if the tablet will be worthy. Fortunately, all signs points to just that. Here is what Andy Rubin of Google had to say about the tablet:
"I'm thrilled to see the entrance of MIPS-Based Android 4.0 tablets into the market. Low cost, high performance tablets are a big win for mobile consumers and a strong illustration of how Android's openness drives innovation and competition for the benefit of consumers around the world."
So what's behind the NOVO7? According to the press release, "the tablet is powered by Ingenic's JZ4770 mobile applications processor, which leverages a MIPS-Based™ XBurst™ CPU running at 1GHz. The new tablet is available with a 7" capacitive multi-touch screen. 8" and 9" form factors will be available soon. All versions include support for WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3 and microSD, as well as 3D graphics with the Vivante GC860 GPU, 1080p video decoding and dual front/rear cameras. The XBurst processor's power-efficient architecture provides extended battery life—the 7" tablet draws less than 400mA during active web browsing."
Now of course this sounds really good on paper. Hopefully, we'll know pretty soon how well it performs in the real world.
For those that are considering purchasing this device, as stated earlier it'll only cost you $99. Additionally, "the new Android 4.0 tablet is available in China and online through Ainol Electronics Co., Ltd. at www.ainovo.com."
So if you decide to purchase one, let us know what you think about it. We may even have something to tell you about it shortly. We're still skeptical on this one … and btw, shipping is about $60.

About Us
We are Gaia Enterprises, Inc., the inventor and manufacturer of Safe Paw® (Safe Thaw®) Ice Melter.
How We Started
Gaia Enterprises started as a manufacturer of specialty chemicals (solvents, degreasers, and corrosion inhibitors) that were sold to power generation companies, construction firms, railroads, and municipal governments. Our products helped these entities comply with strict environmental regulations and equipment manufacturer's specifications. Failing to comply results in EPA fines and the voiding of manufacturers warrantees.
In 1986 we received a number of patents on our ice melting product, Safe Thaw®, which was designed to solve the many problems associated with using salt-based ice melters at nuclear power construction sites. The Safe Thaw formula proved to be:
- Environmentally safe (land and waterways)
- Non-corrosive to all metals
- Non-conductive (won't short out circuits)
- Safe on paints, plastics, and rubber
- Safe on asphalt, concrete, and pavers
- Nontoxic to animals and humans
In 1992, we decided to market this product to new users (markets) under several names including:
Safe Thaw®—Its non-corrosive and non-conductive properties attracted various commercial and government clients. Safe Thaw was also approved by the FAA for use on airport runways and jet ways.
Paver Saver®—Touted as the only product that is safe for concrete pavers and other hardscape products. Paver Saver was approved and recommended by the manufacturers of concrete pavers.
Helipad Deicer (Helipad®)—Non-corrosive to all parts of the helicopter and associated equipment. Helipad Deicer grips the ice during its liquid phase. This prevents the product from blowing during helicopter operations and decreases accidental injuries to passengers.
In 1996 we created the Safe Paw® brand (same formula as Safe Thaw) designed to sell to the pet industry (retail consumers and veterianarians). Safe Paw benefits include:
- Guaranteed safe for pets and children
- Environmentally safe
- Won't harm decking of any kind
- Safe on asphalt, concrete, and pavers
- Safe on plants and shrubs
- Proprietary traction agent (helps prevent
slips and falls)
- Won't stain or destroy flooring
For more information about any of these products , please contact us.

Business Briefs: India Health Ministry, Takeda, Sucampo and Pfizer Consumer Care
India Today reported that the Indian health ministry will ban sales of painkiller Analgin, diabetes treatment pioglitazone (Actos) and anti-depressant Deanxit. Takeda's Actos, which went off patent in 2012 in the US, has been linked to increased risk of bladder cancer. Actos was recalled in France and received a warning for usage by FDA in 2011. India Today also reported that the health ministry has been debating the ban of Analgin and Deanxit for "years now, despite pressure from a parliamentary panel," but that, "the decision on the diabetes drug pioglitazone has taken the industry completely by surprise." Those drugs' bans will take place immediately.
In other Takeda news, the pharma company made a $10-million milestone payment to Sucampo, triggered by the commercial launch of Amitiza in the US for opioid-induced constipation (OIC), as per an existing license agreement between the two firms. Amitiza was approved by the FDA in 2006 for chronic idiopathic constipation. The OIC indication was sanctioned this year.
Pfizer Consumer Care, as part of the existing Advil Relief in Action campaign, said that the brand has signed on to become the official pain reliever of the Tough Mudder series of endurance-challenge events. Their partnership kicks off this weekend at a Tough Mudder event in Michigan. Participants at select events will be able to find an Advil Relief in Action station at the end of the course and, at 10 events, join Advil for a photo opp to share their accomplishment on Twitter and Instagram using hashtag #ReliefInAction.

I recently finished taking a sewing class at G Street Fabrics. I loved the class (a pants drafting class) and really like the teacher, but the people in the class…my God.
The class was six weeks long and every single week, at least one person was unprepared. Usually, it was all but two who were unprepared (the class ranged in size from six to nine people each week).
So what, right? As long as I was prepared, who cares?
Well, it caused me to lose out on the class. During one of the earliest classes, a woman was so unprepared that the rest of us had to wait twenty minutes to get started.
Toward the middle, two of us spent an entire class period watching our instructor fit people. The previous week she had spent half of the class sitting around, waiting for people to finish their work. Had people been prepared, the second fitting class I could have gotten a fitting rather than sitting around. I did learn some things from the class, but it was still frustrating.
During the last class, one of the women ended up getting into a verbal confrontation with our instructor because she hadn't listened and had messed up. She tried blaming the instructor, and even claimed she was prepared for every class. That was not at all true. She once showed up with none of her materials. None. Not even her measurements. The rest of us just stood there, uncomfortably looking at each other.
I did meet another woman in the class who seems awesome. (She was the other one who had to sit there doing nothing during one class.) We will be spending more time together and will help fit each other. I also left the class with a great fitting pants muslin, so it was worth it.
Still, I don't get grown-ups. It's one thing if my students don't do their homework, but you're an adult! Why take the class if you're not actually going to do any of the work?
