The admissions decision is a holistic process based on a range of criteria, including:
- Undergraduate degree – students must have completed a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) preferred.
- Prior experience – post-undergraduate social service practice experience is preferred, but not required, for admission.
- Prerequisite content – students admitted to the program need to have completed a course in three specific areas: one in statistics or research methods, one in human biology and one in lifespan developmental psychology. Applicants do not need to have these courses completed in order to apply, but they must be completed before you start classes in the program. (See prerequisite FAQ below for course options)
- Letters of recommendation – applicants must submit three complete (required form/checklist and letter from each recommender) recommendations
- Personal statement – applicants must submit a personal statement addressing the specific questions listed on the application form.
- Fieldwork evaluation – advanced standing applicants only. A copy of your final evaluation from your senior field practicum will be reviewed.
The MSW program does not grant course credit for life experience or previous work in accordance with CSWE's Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards. The University of St. Thomas Master's program has a written policy indicating that it does not grant social work course credit for life experience or previous work experience (www.cswe.org).
Applicants with a cumulative undergraduate GPA below 3.0 will be considered. A limited number of exceptions may be made to the GPA requirement, with those students admitted on a provisional basis. You should include an Explanation of GPA Statement with your application to explain any extraordinary circumstances for your low GPA and/or why your undergraduate GPA is not reflective of your potential for academic success at the graduate level.
There is no entrance exam required for admission. The only exception is for international students that would be required to take the TOEFL or IELTS English language proficiency exam.
International applicant checklist»
There are three prerequisite courses that must be completed before starting the MSW program. Keep in mind that students may apply to the MSW program if they are missing one or more prerequisites, but all prerequisites must be completed before the first day of graduate classes. If you are missing one of these courses, click on the course to see a PDF of options in Minnesota or online that meet the prerequisite requirement.
- Statistics or Research Methods
- Lifespan Developmental Psychology (course should cover normal human development across the lifespan: birth to death; general/intro to psychology does NOT count)
- Human Biology (course should cover human systems; a general biology course typically does NOT count)
NOTE: In recent years, most incoming students have elected to take the online courses offered by Sophia.org or Study.com to meet needed prerequisite requirements. These online courses are designed to be self-paced and able to be completed in 2 months or less.
The MSW application will ask you to indicate if you've taken or are currently taking these courses. If you are unsure, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and be prepared to share the course name and description (from the course catalog) of the course in question. As appropriate, you may be asked for a course syllabus to help us determine if the course covered the required content. If you indicate a course has been "completed," you'll be asked to provide the course name and institution where it was completed in the text box below.

Yes, you can take courses in the MSW program before being admitted by registering as a non-degree student. Non-degree students can take up to 6 credits (2 courses) before they are accepted.

Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid and are not guaranteed admission to the MSW program. Contact the MSW Program manager for further information at email@example.com

There is no separate application process for these grants/scholarships.
After acceptance to the MSW program, incoming students are provided information about additional scholarship and financial assistance programs for which they are invited to apply. These opportunities include the following: Area of Emphasis Scholars, endowed scholarships, the Diversity Social Work Advancement Program, and research assistantships.

Solar Tax Credits in Mc Cune KS – What You Had to Know in Kansas
Solar energy is a clean, renewable power source. Many people asks themselves if solar panels are worth it because of their high cost. The production of this renewable electrical system on residential and commercial structures creates no pollutants and is starting to make serious financial sense. The cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels has dramatically decreased. In 47 states, the concept of net metering is now an established fact. Net metering simply means you can sell energy from your panel systems back to utilities, thus eliminating or seriously reducing utility bills and you may reduce your electrical bill dramatically. As oil and natural gas costs skyrocket, the Federal Government is doing even more to promote the use of solar energy. They are giving special rebate incentives by the solar panel tax credit of 2020.
To claim the tax rebate, there are a few restrictions and requirements. First, you can't claim the credit if you use this power system to heat a hot tub or pool. Second, the system must be certified by a solar rating certification corporation to establish that you, in fact, installed a working system. Third, the system must be activated between January 1, 2005 and the end of 2007. Finally, you cannot claim the credit if the government gave you a grant or financing to purchase the system, to prevent double dipping.
When energy from the sun is discussed as a potential alternative power source, most supporters point to the environmental benefits and advantages of this electrical power source. The American Solar Energy Society explains that ultimately, the benefits to one's bank account will really make the difference and the federal tax incentive is a solid step in that direction. With this new technology you may reduce your electrical bill. Many people in the United States are claiming a 30% Federal Tax Credit upon installation and are even leasing panels for as little as $0 down. The Federal Solar Tax Credit is very limited as some government rebates available now in 2020 will end in 2021. IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Armonk, New York, will lead a new project based on the Watson computer system that uses big data processing and self-adjusting algorithms to integrate different prediction models and learning technologies.
These projects are working with the Energy Department and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association to improve the accuracy of sun forecasts and share the results of this work with industry and academia in order to position photo voltaic sun cells.

Eric Dier's flying Spurs start hands Roy Hodgson a gentle reminder
West Ham 0 Tottenham 1
Eric Dier once posed at a kit launch alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart and Theo Walcott as emblems of England's future generation, but practically no one would have recognised the tall, blond youngster in the back row. Back then, he was playing in Portugal, but there's a fair chance that Roy Hodgson will be phoning the Tottenham Hotspur defender about the senior side if he produces a few more displays like this.
Dier started his debut at centre back, shifted to right back then popped up at the other end to slot home a stoppage-time winner at Upton Park. His head coach looked straight-faced as he expressed no surprise to see Dier running clear and rounding the goalkeeper, then jokingly pulled at

Women are in majority although an increasing number of men have entered the profession. Women and men physiotherapists tend to undertake different career paths. The overall aim of the present thesis was to use a gender perspective to describe and analyse attitudes to the professional role, health care work and the development of the profession among actors engaged in physiotherapy education.
A questionnaire was distributed in 1997 to all Swedish physiotherapy students in the second semester of the education (n=273). The same cohort was investigated in 1999 at the completion of the education. The response rate was 93 percent at both occasions. For an international comparison, the same questionnaire was distributed in 1997 and in 1999 to a group of Canadian physiotherapy students in their first and last semesters (n=60). Qualitative research interviews were conducted with 8 novices in physiotherapy and with 14 women educators in academia. Five focus group discussions with clinical supervisors were conducted (10 women and 5 men). Methods used were Grounded theory, factor analysis, logistic regression and path analysis. Feminist theories and Bourdieu's theory of culture constituted a theoretical framework
Four ideal types were identified among the novices representing attitudes to the professional role. The Treater and The Supervisor were attitudes found among the women, whereas The Coach and The Entrepreneur were attitudes among the men. Type of health care facility was important for their positioning in the organisational hierarchy. Swedish students favour future employment in private practice. Sports medicine clinics and fitness centres are health care facilities highly endorsed, as is health promotion. Neither care of elderly nor hospital work are preferable fields of practice. Research is not favoured. Men students are more likely to have chosen the profession because of their interest in physical activity and sports. They are also more likely to prefer owning a private clinic and working with alternative approaches such as fitness training in sports medicine clinics. Women students are more likely to prefer an employment in private practice. The Canadian men students favour private practice whereas the women prefer the public sector of health care. The academic educators experience a gap between theory and practice which causes conflicting messages to students. Competing professions, emergent societal change and a conservative clinical practice constitute threats to the profession. The uniqueness of professional competency, theoretical development and new arenas such as home rehabilitation, consulting and research constitute a vision for future development of the profession. Masculinity is highly valued for status and power whereas femininity symbolises empathy and caring. The clinical supervisors update their theoretical knowledge base through supervision of students, but claim that students lack hands-on skills. Stress at work, unequal power relations in the hierarchy and restructuring of health care are factors that influence work satisfaction negatively. To conclude, gendered habitus, different symbolic capital and different attitudes towards health care work and development of the profession were found in the sub-fields of physiotherapy.
Most Swedish physiotherapists are women, but an increasing number of men are entering the profession. The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the experience of eight novice physiotherapists. In-depth interviews with four female and four male novice physiotherapists were conducted. The analyses used Grounded Theory and ideal model. Gender, context and time were identified as important analytical categories. Four ideal types, which reflect the attitudes of the novices to the profession, were constructed. The attitudes of the female physiotherapists were used to construct the ideal types called the 'Supervisor' and the 'Treater'. They were patient-oriented and experienced great job satisfaction in their close relationship with patients. They had an open mind as to their future professional activities. The attitudes of the male physiotherapists were used to construct the ideal types called the 'Coach' and the 'Entrepreneur'. They were team-oriented and unsatisfied with team leaders, salaries and organisation. They were choice-decided as to their future professional activities. In the primary health care setting, the physiotherapists wished to cooperate upwards with others in the organisational hierarchy as well as outside the health care organisation. In hospitals, the physiotherapists wished to cooperate horizontally or downwards with others in the hierarchy.
Career choices are still strongly gendered in health care professions. In Sweden, physiotherapy is a middle-class women's profession that nowadays also attracts men. Career strategies and professional development in physiotherapy are sparsely studied from a gender perspective. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe and analyse perceptions of individual professional development, physiotherapy education and the profession in general, among a group of women educators in physiotherapy, using a gender theoretical framework and some of Bourdieu's theoretical concepts in the analysis. Thematized in-depth interviews with fourteen educators in physiotherapy were performed. The analysis used the Grounded Theory method of constant comparison. To increase credibility, the study design used triangulation in interviewers and investigators, member checking and reference group checking. Three core categories were identified. The Competent Woman category involves the professional development of the educators, including aspects of competence, success, efficiency and flexibility. Perceptions of femininity and masculinity reflect the symbolic dimension of gender. Femininity is regarded as symbolic capital for empathy and care, while masculinity represents status and power. The core category Theory-Practice Gap describes the isolated position of physiotherapy education in relation to the field of health care. The fragmented and disintegrated professional knowledge base does not facilitate the development of the profession. The core category Profession under Change reflects ideas about physiotherapy in society. Other female health care professions, ongoing societal change and conservative physiotherapy practices constitute a threat to the future development of the field. Visions for future development of the field emphasized the importance of professional competence and engagement in innovative activities in new arenas and new professional roles. The results shed light on the symbolic dimension of gender in a professional field where femininity is connected with academic success, empathy and care, while masculinity is related to business mentality, status and power. Notions of competition include both internal and external factors affecting the field of physiotherapy.
The aim was to identify reasons for the career choice and professional preferences among students enrolled in the Swedish physiotherapy education. The study design was longitudinal and used a questionnaire administered to a cohort of 273 students in the beginning of the university programme in 1997 as well as at the completion of the programme in 1999, yielding a response rate of 93%. Data were analysed with factor analysis and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. To test the relationship between the factors and outcomes that showed significant effect in the logistic regression analysis, a path analysis was performed. The two most preferred healthcare facilities after graduation were sports medicine clinics and fitness centres. Future work in private practice was highly endorsed by a majority of students. Health promotion was highly valued. Care of elderly and hospital work were not preferred. Significant differences between men and women appeared. Men were more likely to have chosen the programme because of their interest in sports and physical activity. Men were also more choice decided about future professional activities, whereas women were more open for several areas of practice. Men preferred to become the owner of a private clinic and to work with alternative approaches to healthcare, such as fitness training in sports medicine clinics.
This article focuses on reasons for the career choice and the longitudinal development of attitudes to healthcare work and the physiotherapy profession. The study is part of a larger project on professional development in physiotherapy. A cohort of 60 Canadian physiotherapy students was surveyed on two occasions during their educational programme. The questionnaire was constructed using a theoretical framework about professional socialization. Forty students completed both versions of the questionnaire yielding a response rate of 67%. Seventy-two per cent were women and 28% were men. Job accessibility or economic (25.5%) were the most frequently indicated reasons for the career choice. The most frequently chosen role models were the preceptors in clinical placements (52%). None of the students indicated having a faculty member as a role model. The desire to work in private practice and with adults was ranked highly in both administrations of the questionnaire. Few students regarded home care and community health as preferable healthcare facilities after graduation. Research, managerial work or occupational health were not given as preferable areas of practice. There advantages were statistically significant differences between women and men in their preferences for private practice work and the public sector of healthcare. The results are discussed in relation to gendered division of labour in healthcare and to the development of the profession.
The aim was to study perceptions of professional role, education and the status of the profession among clinical physiotherapy supervisors. Five focus group discussions were conducted with 15 supervisors attached to four universities in Sweden. Qualitative analyses were carried out using constant comparisons. Triangulation of researchers was used to increase trustworthiness. The supervisors experienced themselves as being in the centre of two competing and changing fields - the academic setting and the clinic in healthcare organization. The contact with students and their updated knowledge base were the most positive aspects of being clinical supervisors. To create a good learning environment for the students was considered important, but lack of time in all aspects of the work created stress and dissatisfaction. Students' hands-on skills and treatment techniques were regarded to be rather poor and there is too much emphasis on theoretical knowledge and research methods in the curriculum. The physiotherapy profession has potentials to develop in innovative fields such as health promotion and disease prevention outside the hospitals, but healthcare with its hierarchical organization is a hindrance for this development. Collaborative efforts to bridge the gap between university and clinical setting are needed.

Academic Writing Tutorial - 5 Qualities Of A Good Topic For An Essay
You will likely have to write a lot of academic papers. It is one of the most used evaluation tools in school because it gives the teacher the best gauge of how well you are understanding the topics discussed in class. It does have its flaws. Some students who understand the topics are just not good at writing papers and some students who have no clue what is going on can fudge their way through an excellent paper. But all in all, it is an effective tool.
The topic that you choose for your paper is very important. It is really hard to write a paper on a bad topic. It can start you off in a bad position and make it really hard to accomplish the goal. There are some qualities that your topic should have that will make it easier for you to write a good essay. They include:
- Interesting
- Relevant
- Specific
- Broad enough
- Sophisticated
The topic that you choose should be interesting. You will likely have to read through a ton of information so you want to make it so that you can handle it without falling asleep. You want to also write about something interesting to you because you will likely know more about it. That will make it easier to develop your ideas.
This is an obvious characteristic but still worth mentioning. If you are taking an American history class, you have to write your paper on a historical event or personality relating to America. You also would want to make it relevant to the times. If you are asked about how technology changes life today, you wouldn't want to write about an old technology.
You don't want to write about a general sweeping topic. Choose one that is more relevant. You will have less information to sort through and it will be easier to come up with ideas to talk about and easier to write a thesis statement when you have a more specific topic.
Even though you want a specific topic, you can't choose one that is too specific that you can't find any information on it. This pertains mostly to things that are newly discovered or things that haven't been studied. You need to at least meet your resource requirements and length requirements so keep that in mind when choosing one.
You topic has to show that you understand the topic so be sure to choose one that is sophisticated enough for your education level.

Shareholders of Illinois corporations have certain legal rights when it comes to governing those corporations. Because shareholders own a small portion, or "share" of the company, they have the power to affect vital aspects of the organization. If a shareholder is denied his or her right, that shareholder may take action against the corporation. If an individual causes damage to the corporation and the corporation does not sue, the shareholders may be allowed to bring a lawsuit against the corporation in order to make the company sue the wrongdoer. Depending on the shareholder's loss, a shareholder has to decide what type of action to take against the corporation: a derivative lawsuits or a direct lawsuit.
In this article, we'll answer the following questions:
· What's a derivative lawsuit?
· What kinds of suits have to be brought derivatively?
· What is a direct lawsuit?
· What's the difference between derivative and direct suits?
· How do you decide whether a claim is derivative or direct?
· Why does the distinction between derivative and direct lawsuits matter?
Initiated by a shareholder on behalf of a corporation, derivative lawsuits are claims that belong to the corporation, but are brought by a shareholder because the corporation's management is either unwilling or unable to do so. Essentially, derivative lawsuits allow shareholders to force the corporation to sue those that are liable to the corporation. The legal duties in a derivative claim are duties that are owed to the corporation, not the shareholders; the legal remedy that the court awards is for the benefit of the corporation, not the shareholders. These suits are called "derivative," because the shareholders' loss is derivative to the corporation's loss. If a shareholder sues a corporation and claims that the actions of the management harmed him or her individually, it is a direct lawsuit.
The filing shareholders act as a representative, or "ally," of the corporation in derivative lawsuits. This method is often used to expose fraud and other breaches of fiduciary duty that occur within the corporation, like if perpetrators are actually the highest management positions (for more information regarding the specific responsibilities and roles of Illinois shareholders, see our other article, Duties of LLC Members). Minority shareholders can also file derivative lawsuits, but only in the event of a wrongful sale of corporate control by majority shareholders. While the shareholder is named the plaintiff and the corporation is named as a normal defendant in a derivative action, the corporation is the true plaintiff, and the shareholder, as the representative of the plaintiff, owes fiduciary duties to the corporation and to the other shareholders in conducting the lawsuit.
Examples of Derivative Suits: What Kinds of Suits Have to be Derivative?
Based on legal rights that belong to the individual shareholder, direct claims are oftentimes used by shareholders in small corporations, particularly with minority shareholders who are alleging unfair treatment at the hands of majority shareholders. In a direct lawsuit, a shareholder brings forth a claim based on the shareholder's ownership of shares, so the plaintiff shareholder brings his own claim in his own name to vindicate the violation of legal duties to him or herself and seeking a legal remedy for his or her own benefit. Examples of direct lawsuits include contract rights related to shares, rights related to the recovery of dividends, and rights to review the records of the corporation. In these suits, the individual shareholder is seeking redress of wrongs committed by the corporation's board or other shareholders that directly affect the individual shareholder.
If an Illinois court is determining if a claim is direct or derivative, the main focus is on whether the injury associated was either to the shareholder directly or the corporation. If any funds sought to be recovered belong to the corporation, the action is considered derivative. In order to determine if a claim is derivative or direct, answer these two questions:
1.) Who was harmed: a corporation or a shareholder?
2.) Who would receive the benefits of recovery: a corporation or a shareholder?
If the answer to either of these questions is "the shareholder," the claim will likely be considered direct. If the answer to either of these questions is "the corporation," the claim will likely be considered derivative.
The distinction between derivative lawsuits and direct lawsuits is important, because the law imposes different requirements on the process and the ability of the parties to sue. If a shareholder is planning on asserting a derivative lawsuit, that shareholder is subject to specific requirements that may differ from if the same shareholder were to assert a direct lawsuit. For example, if the lawsuit is a derivative one, shareholders are required to make a demand on the directors to bring a lawsuit from the corporation before they can file a complaint themselves. On the other hand, demand is not required if the suit is a direct one. Directors represent a corporation in all decisions, including litigation matters; therefore, a demand to sue is required. If a board says no, the shareholder cannot bring the same claim on behalf of the corporation unless he or she can prove a wrongful refusal.
If shareholders made a demand and the board of the corporation refused to file a lawsuit, the shareholders have to state that the demand was futile beforehand. Demand requirement may be excused under the demand futility exception if 1) majority of the board is interested or not independent, or 2) if the original decision will not receive a business judgment rule protection. Even if the demand is excused as futile, the boards can still take action to stop the litigation by establishing a committee of disinterested directors to take a fresh look: a Special Litigation Committee. When it comes to deciding whether to uphold the decision of the Special Litigation Committee, Illinois court applies a two-prong test:
1.) Inquiries into dependence and good faith of the committee, and
2.) A balance between legitimate corporate claim and corporation's best interests in not to due applying court's own judgment.

I really like this Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus! One, it has cilantro, the best herb ever. Two, it has a little kick and three, hummus has to be one of the easiest, healthy dips to make.
Hummus is an excellent source of plant-based protein & it is high in fiber, both of which can help you feel full longer. Chickpeas are also considered a complex carb which takes a little longer to break down in your body providing almost a "time-released" energy effect. Plus they do not spike your blood sugar.

In this recipe, I chose not to use tahini because I think it is an unnecessary expense but you can definitely add a couple of tablespoons to this recipe if you have it on hand or you really like it. there are certainly health benefits to tahini as well.
Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed & drained
- 1 small jalapeno, seeds removed
- 2-4 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp lime or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- pinch of salt, to taste
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp – 1/3 cup water
Blend everything together except for the water and olive oil in a food processor or blender. While the food processor is running add 1- 2 Tbsp olive oil and slowly start adding water until you get to the desired consistency. I prefer mine with a little texture so I don't add a lot of water. The more water you add the thinner and smoother the hummus will be.
Put your hummus in a small serving bowl drizzle with a little olive oil and top with some fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes if you like. Serve with some fresh veggies, multigrain chips or pita chips are tasty too.
*I tried making this hummus with whole jalapenos (seeds & all) and I didn't care much for it. There was too much of a raw jalapeno flavor and the heat wasn't a good heat. If you want this hummus spicier I would recommend adding more red pepper flakes or maybe a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce.
I really want to get this bowl for my hummus! Isn't it so cute, it would be great as a gift too. You could totally make this Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus and give it to a neighbor in this bowl for Christmas or a housewarming gift!
An added bonus about hummus … Did you know that it is actually a natural stress-reducing food too? You can read more about it and my top 5 Stress Relieving Foods here.

David Deans Skincare Moisturising Cream
Product Description
The David Deans Skincare Moisturising Cream provides a rich blend of natural antioxidants, essential fatty acids, intense moisturisation and a boost to collagen synthesis. Each ingredient is supported by scientific research and is shown independently to help relieve dry, red, inflamed and damaged skin caused by a variety of symptoms. This cream is water-based, free of alcohols, fragrances, aluminium and steroids.
Key ingredients of this products are:
Sea Buckthorn - Modern research demonstrates great potential for Sea Buckthorn in burn relief due to its extremely high profile of vitamins (A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K, P), phytochemicals, carotenoids, amino acids, polyphenols, minerals (including zinc) and flavonoids. It is the only known plant containing all essential fatty acids; omega 3, 6, 7 and 9. High concentrations of omega-7 are of particular interest, stimulating epithelisation (healing of epidermis) by micro-circulation modulation. While no studies currently exist for Sea Buckthorn's efficacy in the treatment of radiation-induced skin conditions, its profile reveals great promise. Sea Buckthorn is well known in Chinese medicine, it is used to treat radiation burns in their astronauts and was also a popular treatment in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The published literature cites strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Sea Buckthorn for relief of eczema, dermatitis and burns.

Journal of Biological Sciences 4(5) 687-693
Hyaluronic Acid - This natural moisturiser with a water binding capacity 1000 times its own weight, is found in almost every cell of the body. It plays a vital role in wound healing via the skin structure, promoting cellular communication and organisation of new cell growth. It has been shown to induce collagen synthesis by activating fibroblasts and helps organise collagen structural deposits when applied topically.

Beta Glucan - Beta glucan is a natural polysaccharide which stimulates the immune response. Within the dermal layer it activates the innate immune system (especially macrophages) to consume damaged tissues and encourage wound healing. Evidence indicates that macrophages encourage re–epithelisation and stimulation of granulation tissue in the construction of the new dermal extracellular matrix. Beta Glucan contributes to the healing process and regeneration of new cells.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 - is a chain of amino acids that has the ability to mimic TGF-1β. When TGF-1β is present in the skin it induces a biological response in synthesising collagen and elastin proteins (helps rebuild the skin via cellular communication).
Aloe Vera - Aloe Vera has been used for centuries for health, beauty and medicinal purposes. It contains an abundance of vitamins, enzymes, and essential fatty acids, which nourish and support the skin.

On Edmund's death, however, despite leaving two sons, Canute gained control of all of England.
Battle of Assandun - 1016
From the death of Ethelred until the arrival of Canute, Edmund Ironside, so named for his bravery in standing up to the Danish king, reigned for just under seven months.
Edmund Ironside fought a number of battles against the Danish army, but they ended in his defeat this day, the 18th October 1016 at the Battle of Assandun in Essex. The signing of a peace treaty gave Edmund control of lands south of the River Thames and Canute ruled north of the Thames.
On Edmund's death, however, despite leaving two sons, Canute gained control of all of England.
Birth of William de la Pole
Today in 1396 William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk was born to Michael de la Pole and Katherine Stafford.
William's father had died in the September of 1415 at the Siege of Harfleur and his older brother Michael had died at the Battle of Agincourt thus William became the 4th Earl of Suffolk. He was created Earl of Pembroke in 1447 and Duke of Suffolk in 1448. He had married Alice Chaucer, the granddaughter of poet Geoffrey Chaucer in 1430 with whom he had one son, John.
William de la Pole was a one time favourite of Henry VI he was an English commander who sadly is remembered and blamed for the loss of French territories of Maine and Anjou, these lands formed part of the marriage contract of Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou that Pole had arranged.
Pole was blamed for much, a scapegoat, who was exiled and murdered on route to Calais.
William de la Pole is a favourite of mine, a man I believe who was much wronged, here he is being booted out of the country to his death 2nd May 1450.
Myles Coverdale was a reformer and for a short time, he held the position of Bishop of Exeter. However, he is mostly remembered for his translation and printing of the Bible into English.
In 1534, Coverdale was in the Belgium city of Antwerp working on this translation, and it has been suggested that he had seen the translations of William Tyndale and George Joye's bibles come off the presses of Martin de Keyser, a French publisher and printer who worked mainly in Antwerp.
It was this day, a year later that Myles Coverdale's first print run was completed with the title page showing King Henry VIII distributing bibles.
Birth of Richard III
This week has been a sad one for those of us take a keen interest in the life of King Richard III because, as many of you will know already, part of the land on which Richard lost his life in 1485 will be covered with an ugly carpet of tarmac. Instead of looking across to the site of Henry VII advance we will now be able to see assorted cars going round and round and round just like mad dogs chasing their own tails and all in the name of progress.
However, it was on this day in 1452, a few miles west of Bosworth, that Richard was born at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire to Richard, Duke of York and Cecily Neville. He was the couples fourth son.
For more about Richard's life, you can read a post written two years ago by the author of the latest book on Richard III. Thanks again for that Matthew.
Photographs one was taken at Fotheringhay, the second at Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester are both my images. The Fotheringhay Castle is Matthew's.
Matthew also has a new book our entitled Richard III: Loyalty Binds Me.
An Uprising Begins
In Lincolnshire in the October of 1536, murmurings of discontent began at St. James Church in Louth. The people's grievance was Henry VIII's political, social and religious policies.
Talk soon turned to rebellion and the people of Louth quickly gained support in Horncastle, Market Rasen, and Caistor and the 'army' gained up to 40,000 men. While these men were moving from village to town adding to their numbers the King had sent word ordering them to disband and return to their own villages but Henry had no intention of letting any man slip back into the shadows as he had already sent Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk at the head of his own army.
The men of Lincolnshire had the support of local gentry and they marched on Lincoln arriving at the Cathedral demanding to be allowed to continue worshiping as Catholics and protection for their local churches but the threat of a trained armed force making its way from London they quickly took the offer to disband on condition of being pardoned.
By the middle of October, two of the main leaders were captured taken to Tyburn and hanged but these death of were not enough for Henry, he saw to it that most of the other local ringleaders were also executed. During the following twelve days, they were all hanged, drawn and quartered.
This brave uprising by the men of Lincolnshire inspired what was to become known as the Pilgrimage of Grace.
A Cold Case - Violante Visconti
All three of Italian Violante Visconti's husbands died an unnatural death, two were murdered and Lionel of Antwerp, the son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, died on the 7th October in 1368 of suspected food poisoning.
A cold case in need of re opening don't you think?
On this day in 1483 - All Souls Day, the execution of Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham for his part in the rebellion against Richard III.
Richard III: Act V, Scene 1 Salisbury. An open place.
Why, then All Souls' day is my body's doomsday.
This is the day that, in King Edward's time,
I wish't might fall on me, when I was found
False to his children or his wife's allies
This is the day wherein I wish'd to fall
By the false faith of him I trusted most;
This, this All-Souls' day to my fearful soul
Is the determined respite of my wrongs:
That high All-Seer that I dallied with
Hath turn'd my feigned prayer on my head
And given in earnest what I begg'd in jest.
Thus doth he force the swords of wicked men
To turn their own points on their masters' bosoms:
Now Margaret's curse is fallen upon my head;
'When he,' quoth she, 'shall split thy heart with sorrow,
Remember Margaret was a prophetess.'
Come, sirs, convey me to the block of shame;
Wrong hath but wrong, and blame the due of blame
I wonder if he managed to pass through purgatory without stopping?
On 31st October 1396 Isabella of Valois married the widowed King Richard II.
Isabella was the sister of Catherine of Valois, wife of King Henry V. She was just six years old and Richard was 29.
As you can see from the image below she must have been apprehensive if not petrified. It is said that Richard treated her well when she came to England to marry Richard she brought her dolls with her and along with them their miniature silver furnishings.
Foxes Book of Martyrs
On this day in 1555 the deaths of Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, burnt at the stake as seen in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
"Be of good comfort, and play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out."
Birth of Edward VI
At the beginning of 1537, Jane Seymour, Henry VIII's third queen became pregnant. On the 12th October she gave birth to the much awaited male heir, the future King Edward VI at two o'clock in the morning at Hampton Court Palace.
This letter, found at the Dunham Massey estate in Altrincham, Greater Manchester in 2012 is from Jane to Henry informing him of the birth of their child, it reads
'And forasmuche as by the inestimable goodnes and grace of Almighty god we be delivred and brought in
child Bed of a Prince conceyved in moost Lawfull Matrimonie betwebe my lord the Kinges Majestye and us.'
As was the custom of the time the baby was christened, without its mother being present, on 15 October 1537. Jane had never recovered from the birth of Edward and on the day of the baptism Jane was seriously ill she died nine days later.
History is so interesting isn't it? Do you love the story of King Alfred's unsuccessful afternoon in the kitchen or King Cnut unsuccessful attempt not to get his feet wet? Maybe you're interested in when the Normans landing on our shores or the stories of an era closer to our time?

While it's always nice to receive a gift under the tree from your other half come Christmas Day, sometimes it's better to share in an experience or getaway together that adds to those all-important memories.
Personally, and particularly at this chiller time of year, I love nothing more than escaping to a cosy UK retreat for rest, relaxation and pure indulgence – you know the type that involves sitting next to a roaring log fire with a glass of fizz in hand!
Well, if this is your idea of pressie heaven too then you might want to start dropping some rather large hints to your significant other about a beautiful luxury North East hotel that we had the pleasure of visiting recently – the details of which we are sharing with you on the blog today.
Sat within ten acres of private estate in rural Northumberland, Doxford Hall, is a perfect example of quintessentially British hotel, complete with historic charm, grand yet homely interiors and the politest of staff. So, when we were invited to pay this 200-year-old country mansion a visit to experience its hospitality, culinary offering and spa (oh how we love a spa!) Julia and I snapped it up quicker than Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You re-entering the charts come 1st December!
Visiting on a crisp autumnal day, the warm and welcoming ambience of Doxford Hall wrapped around us like a gentle hug – and this was just upon entering the reception area. After a few squiggles on dotted lines we were given a brief tour of the hotel, absorbing its beauty and character on every turn, before being shown to our rooms, both of which were spacious with fitting décor and furnishings, plus beautiful bathrooms with Molton Brown toiletries as standard.
Following our two-hour journey up to the North East we kicked off our indulgent overnight stay with lunch in the lounge area: a hearty bowl of soup with freshly-made bread and a glass of champagne (don't be too quick to judge the soup and champagne combo, it works – trust us!).
Pleasantly full we weaved our way through the hotel to Doxford's Aqueous spa, which has recently introduced holistic spa brand, Ytsara as its new supplier of products and treatments, both of which we were eager to try!
More than just spa range, Ytsara is said to deliver a lifestyle philosophy, embracing more than skin-deep beauty and is aimed at those who identify with the need to disengage from fast life – after a hectic year of wedding shows across the north, both Julia and I were certainly ready for that! And so, ready to rid myself of a few niggling aches and slip into that slower paced way of life – even just for 24 hours – I opted for the Garden of Calm Massage while Julia rehydrated her complexion with the Skin Drink Facial.
As a full body experience, my therapist worked her magic on my back, legs, arms, shoulders and neck, with the sweetest smelling of oils which left me feeling more supple and relaxed than Mr Soft himself (apologies to any of our younger readers that may not get that retro ad reference!)
Julia meanwhile confessed to intermittently nodding off during her treatment as she was taken to a new level of calm while her therapist used Ytsara's 100% natural, vegan products to replenish and plump her skin while restoring the skin's barrier to prevent water loss and protect against external assailants.
To extend this dreamy state of relaxation we took advantage of the spa's other facilities, taking a dip in the pool and soak in the bubbling jacuzzi before a detoxifying stint in the sauna and steam room.
With half- and full-day spa options and breaks available, Doxford isn't necessarily just a retreat for romantic getaways, but brides-to-be in need of some 'me time' could head here for pre-wedding prep and time out or even make a sophisticated hen do of it my inviting your #girlsquad or mum along to join you!
After shower and change back in our rooms, we settled upon a comfortable sofa in Doxford's stunning Morning Room with more fizz ahead of our evening meal. This was three beautifully presented and exquisite tasting courses served in the hotel's George Runciman Restaurant, which bears 2 AA rosettes awarded for the highest standards in cuisine and service.
To start I had wild mushroom velouté while Julia went with a fitting seasonal option of duck liver, smoked bacon and pistachio parfait. The fresh, locally sourced ingredients shone through and delivered on flavour and texture – as they did in the courses that followed too. Next, we enjoyed mains of pan seared cod steak with pickled cockles, spiced cauliflower puree and tempura battered sweet potato, and pan roasted chicken with smoked garlic pomme puree, heirloom carrots and English Parma ham chard. Though adequately full at this point we just couldn't resist dessert and so finished by sharing a raspberry mille feuille with white chocolate, crème patisserie and coconut meringue – and it was every bit as delicious as it sounds (those of you awaiting your lunch break #sorrynotsorry!)
Following a restful night in Doxford's tranquil surroundings we were still pretty full but managed to make our way through breakfast of beautiful homemade porridge and fresh poached eggs on toast before (reluctantly) departing.
And so hopefully you can see why we highly recommend a visit to this spectacular gem of a North East venue that, as I say, can cater for pre- and post-wedding getaways, as well as some chill time with the girls! Furthermore, if you're still on the hunt for a setting for your big day, Doxford may be just the answer. Ideal for those who crave a fine, traditional wedding with an edge of modern elegance, the Hall has all the beauty and charm, both inside and out, to wow your guests whilst offering luxurious on-site accommodation, wonderful spa facilities, friendly and knowledgeable event staff award-winning cuisine. What more could you possibly want?
