Right here, stripped of these overdubbed elements, you possibly can focus solely on Presley, guitarist James Burton and the band of country-soul studio aces often known as the Nashville Cats whereas they recorded aspect by aspect within the studio.

This aptly titled "Tremendous Deluxe Version" affords 45 beforehand unreleased recordings that clock in at practically 4 hours. They embrace the loping funk exercise "Soul Psychodelicide," "I Want a Actual Man" (which he wrote for each Vainness 6 and Bonnie Raitt) and the ornately organized "Wally" (which was impressed by Prince's bodyguard, Wally Stafford). There's additionally an almost two-hour 1987 live performance recorded in Holland, a stay DVD shot at Prince's Paisley Park studio, and a 120-page hardback ebook.
Not all the things soars and the Miles Davis collaboration, "Can I Play with U?", is unfortunately negligible at greatest.

The Rolling Stones, "Goats Head Soup" Tremendous Deluxe Version
Approaching the heels of 1971's "Sticky Fingers" and 1972's "Exile on Primary Avenue," the Rolling Stones had set a dizzyingly excessive bar for his or her third album of that also new decade. "Goats Head Soup," which was recorded primarily in Kingston, Jamaica, didn't attain that instant-classic standing. It was, in reality, broadly considered a disappointing misfire on the time — unfocused, self-indulgent, solely intermittently impressed — a piece that was following tendencies (together with funk and glam-rock), slightly than setting them.
But when its purpose is decrease and its rewards much less heady, this 1973 album nonetheless exudes a gritty appeal that resonates 47 years later.

There are additionally three beforehand unreleased (at the very least not formally) songs. "All of the Rage" suggests a sped-up "Honky Tonk Girls," whereas "Criss Cross" (often known as "Criss Cross Man") at occasions evokes "Brown Sugar," which isn't a foul factor.

Immediacy was the purpose, not the arch irony of its Nineteen Nineties releases. Or, as U2 singer Bono described "Behind" on the time: "In our heads we've written 11 singles for this report.

An idea album-cum-rock-opera that decried such recurring Younger targets as company greed, diminishing morality and environmental decay, the unique "Greendale" launch was heartfelt and uneven — a one-off that made little affect artistically or commercially.
Practically 20 years later, its themes appear particularly prescient. Younger and Loopy Horse inject a welcome kick into these 10 songs, though there's a surfeit of reasonable tempos and never sufficient of the fiery spontaneity that has lengthy been their trademark. Greater than a curio, if lower than important, "Greendale" is an intriguing experiment by an artist who has lengthy taken the highway much less traveled.

It took me a long time to warm up to Bayside. It wasn't until their 2007 album, The Walking Wounded, that I counted myself amongst their fans. The band's earlier albums, while showing promise, made it clear that Bayside had a long way to go before reaching anything close to their full potential as songwriters. They seemed to arrive there with The Walking Wounded, and while Shudder doesn't do much to demonstrate further growth, it does see the band carry on with a sound that stands out amongst many of their pop-punk peers.
If Shudder is different from The Walking Wounded in any sense, it would be that Bayside has picked up the pace a little bit, which can be seen in songs such as "Have Fun Storming the Castle" and "Rochambo." Meanwhile, longtime Bayside fans will find solace in "The Ghost of St. Valentine" and "No One Understands." In these songs, the hooks are largely the same, but they come more frequently. The rest of the album falls very close in line to The Walking Wounded. Anthony Raneri's vocals are still heavily influenced by some of Chicago's finest (Alkaline Trio, Smoking Popes) and carry a huge dose of melancholy and woe. One shouldn't smite him for wearing his influences so clearly on his sleeve, as Raneri's vocals are still the most appealing aspect of the band. With the band's early releases, he came off as a second-rate Skiba, but time has given him the opportunity (and perhaps tragedy) to develop a more distinct voice.
Bayside has been around long enough that they're starting to influence a new generation of pop-punk bands, and that's a good thing because they have a more mature approach to the genre than many of their contemporaries. They're not without their flaws, still being inconsistent at times and repetitive at others, but these shortcomings shouldn't stand in the way of the enjoyment that Shudder can provide.

Showcasing the great work of Further Education this Colleges Week
I'll begin this month's column with a thank you to everybody who has sent me a congratulatory message following the announcement of my CBE award in the Queen's Birthday Honours List last weekend.
I really appreciated the response from people nationally, regionally or locally. I'm so proud to lead a group of Colleges that is so intrinsically linked to the fortunes of the people and communities that it serves, and the employers and economy it supports.
I'm a passionate advocate of Further Education Colleges, and the transformative impact they can have on towns everywhere, and I'm hugely ambitious for what Colleges can do for people and businesses when times are challenging, as they are right now.
Championing the great work of colleges brings me neatly onto one of the key events in the diary of our group of Colleges – Nelson and Colne College, Accrington and Rossendale College and Lancashire Adult Learning – and that is Colleges Week, an annual week of events to celebrate the impact of Further Education Colleges nationally.
Beginning on Monday, Nelson and Colne College Group will be fully supporting the campaign which celebrates the great work that colleges do and fights for fair funding for the sector, to invest in staff, students and resources.
This year's theme recognises how colleges help build communities, boost businesses, and support individuals. The fundamental way in which colleges have responded to the challenges thrown up by the COVID-19 pandemic means that there will be even more inspiring and impressive stories to share this year, and there is a determination to make this the biggest and best Colleges Week yet.
It is a fantastic chance to share the superhuman efforts my colleagues have delivered this year in providing high quality teaching, learning and support for students and businesses both in college buildings, in the community and through live online lessons. I'm really looking forward to this special showcase that puts the truly brilliant work of colleges into the spotlight.
To keep up to date with everything that is going on, you can follow our social media activity through our channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
If you are a member of the College Group's alumni network or you are an employer that has benefited from a positive experience with us, then we would love to hear from you too.
You can get involved in sharing your own stories of how the College Group has supported you by tagging us in a post and using the hashtags #CollegesWeek and #LoveOurColleges.
I hope you will see some of the positive impact we can accomplish together to overcome some of the present difficulties we all share.
Until next month, Amanda.

Special drive against poliovirus type 2 being launched in KP today
Ashfaq Yusufzai Published January 29, 2020
The government is launching a three-day special vaccination campaign on Wednesday to scale up children's immunity in districts, which risked vaccine-derive poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) after detection of cases a fortnight ago. — AFP/File
PESHAWAR: The government is launching a three-day special vaccination campaign on Wednesday to scale up children's immunity in districts, which risked vaccine-derive poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) after detection of cases a fortnight ago.
The VDPV2 was eradicated worldwide in 1999 due to which the vaccine was withdrawn from the polio vaccination programme in 2016. However, after emergence of back to back cases in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the government requested the world health agency to make supplies of the vaccines available to be administered to the children from where cases were reported.
Since October last year, Pakistan has tested positive 18 children for PV2 virus, prompting the authorities to request to the World Health Organisation to carry out immunisation against the virus. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has recorded 12 cases of VDPV2.
Dr Rana Mohammad Safdar, the coordination of National Emergency Operations Centre for Polio, told Dawn that they had received enough quantity of vaccine from WHO's strategic stockpile to control spread of the virus that was found in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of the country.
He said that the campaign would be carried out in 15 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gujranwala and Sheikhupura in Punjab to respond to the circulation of virus and fully cover the children, who risked the infection.
The campaign will be carried out in 15 districts of KP
"Initially eight districts were targeted but later on due to new detections, we extended the drive to 16 districts," said Dr Safdar. He added that it was imperative to start the drive simultaneously for best chances to cover moving children.
"Accordingly, instead of 27 January, we are conducting case-response campaign from January 29 to February 1. The campaign will target 4.03 million children in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa," he said.
He attributed the re-emergence of PV2 virus to unhygienic conditions and malnourishment and said that government was prepared to cope with the challenge posed by the virus.
Dr Safdar said that to further boost up immunity level of the under five children, two more campaigns, including one on March 9 and another on March 23, would be carried out in the at-risk districts.
"It is specific to risk and demands for a particular response. We have previously conducted vaccination against PV2 cases in Diamer and Gujranwala," he said.
Dr Safdar said that situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was not satisfactory last year but the last campaign in December effectively reached all target population due to the administrative support in all districts. He said that the role of chief secretary was highly positive due to which they covered all the population during the last campaign.
"During the PV2 campaign, we have same support from the administration and hope that all the children will be vaccinated," said Dr Safdar. He also appreciated the cooperation by all political leaders, regardless of political affiliations, during the vaccination drives which enabled the vaccinators to reach every house and inoculate children and safeguard them against disabilities.
"We are sure that this year will be crucial in efforts to eradicate the vaccine-preventable childhood ailment," he said. He added that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recorded three cases in the current year of the countrywide six cases. In 2019, the province recorded 92 polio cases of the 140 nationwide cases.

Japanese Tales from Times Past
5 1/4 X 8
This collection of newly translated tales is selected from the most famous work in all of Japanese classical literature—the Konjaku Monogatari Shu.
This collection of traditional Japanese folklore is akin to the Canterbury Tales of Chaucer or Dante's Inferno—powerfully entertaining tales that reveal striking aspects of the cultural psychology, fantasy, and creativity of medieval Japan—tales that still resonate with modern Japanese readers today.
The ninety stories in this book are filled with keen psychological insights, wry sarcasm, and scarcely veiled criticisms of the clergy, nobles, and peasants alike—suggesting that there are, among all classes and peoples, similar failings of pride, vanity, superstition and greed—as well as aspirations toward higher moral goals.
This is the largest collection in English of the Konjaku Monogatari Shu tales ever published in one volume. It presents the low life and the high life, the humble and the devout, the profane flirting, farting and fornicating of everyday men and women, as well as their yearning for the wisdom, transcendence and compassion that are all part and parcel of our shared humanity.
The 90 Stories Include:
The Grave of Chopsticks
Robbers Come to a Temple and Steal Its Bell
The Woman Fish Peddler at the Guardhouse
Fish are Turned into the Lotus Sutra
A Dragon is Caught by a Tengu Goblin
The Monk Tojo Predicts the Fall of Shujaku Gate
Wasps Attack a Spider in Revenge
Naoshi Koriyama taught at Toyo University in Tokyo from 1961-1997 and is professor emeritus. He is the translator of Like Underground Water: The Poetry of Mid-Twentieth Century Japan and numerous other books of verse.

Perilla frutescens, commonly called deulkkae, perilla or Korean perilla, is a species of Perilla in the mint family Lamiaceae. It is an annual plant native to Southeast Asia and Indian highlands, and is traditionally grown in the Korean peninsula, southern China, Japan and India as a crop.

An edible plant, perilla is grown in gardens and attracts butterflies. It is aromatic with a strong mint-like smell. A variety of this plant, P. frutescens var. crispa known as "shiso", is widely grown in Japan. In the United States, perilla is a weed pest, toxic to cattle after ingestion.

Names
Along with other plants in the genus Perilla, the plant is commonly called "perilla". It is also referred to as Korean perilla, due to its extensive cultivation in Korea and use in Korean cuisine.

In the United States, where the plant has become a weed, the plant is known by many names, such as perilla mint, beefsteak plant, purple perilla, Chinese basil, wild basil, blueweed, Joseph's coat, wild coleus and rattlesnake weed.

Infraspecific taxa
Perilla frutescens has three known varieties.
 P. frutescens (var. frutescens) – called Korean perilla or deulkkae.
 P. frutescens var. crispa – also called shiso or tía tô.
 P. frutescens var. hirtella – also called lemon perilla.

Description

Perilla is an annual plant growing  tall, with hairy square stalks.

The leaves are opposite,  long and  wide, with a broad oval shape, pointy ends, serrated(saw-toothed) margins, and long leafstalks. The leaves are green with occasional touches of purple on the underside.

The flowers bloom on racemes at the end of branches and the main stalk in late summer. The calyx,  long, consist of upper three sepals and the hairy lower two. The corolla is  long with its lower lip longer than the upper. Two of the four stamens are long.

The fruit is a schizocarp,  in diameter, and with reticulate pattern on the outside. Perilla seeds can be soft or hard, being white, grey, brown, and dark brown in colour and globular in shape. 1000 seeds weigh about . Perilla seeds contain about 38-45% lipid.

Cultivation
The plant was introduced into Korea before the Unified Silla era, when it started to be widely cultivated.

In its natural state, the yield of perilla leaves and seeds is not high. If the stem is cut about  above ground level in summer, a new stalk grows, and it produces more fruit. Leaves can be harvested from the stem cut off in the summer, as well as from the new stalk and its branches, throughout summer and autumn. The seeds are harvested in autumn when the fruits are ripe. To collect perilla seeds, the whole plant is harvested, and the seeds are beat out of the plant, before being spread for sun drying.

Traditional medicine, phytochemicals, and toxicity
Various perilla varieties are used for traditional medicine in Southeast Asia.

Characteristic aroma-active phytochemicals in perilla leaves include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, furans, and ketones, particularly perilla ketone, egoma ketone, and isoegoma ketone. Other phytochemicals are alkaloids, terpenoids, quinines, phenylpropanoids, polyphenolics, flavonoids, coumarins, anthocyanins, carotenoids, neolignans, fatty acids, tocopherols, and sitosterols.

Other compounds include perillaldehyde, limonene, linalool, beta-caryophyllene, menthol, and alpha-pinene. The crispa variety is differentiated by leaf and stem colors, which vary from green to red to purple, indicating the presence of anthocyanins.

Although perilla is widely cultivated as an edible plant for humans, it is toxic to cattle and other ruminants, as well as horses. In grazing cattle, plant ketones cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, also called "panting disease".

Adverse effects
Contact dermatitis may occur in people handling the leaves or oil. Consumption of large amounts of seeds has resulted in anaphylaxis.

Nutritional value

Perilla seeds are rich in dietary fiber and dietary minerals such as calcium, iron, niacin, protein, and thiamine. Perilla leaves are also rich in vitamins A, C and riboflavin.

Use

Culinary

East Asia

China
In Manchu cuisine, perilla leaves are used to make efen, ("steamed bun"). The perilla buns are made with glutinous sorghum or glutinous rice flour dough filled with red bean paste and wrapped with perilla leaves. The dish is related to Food Exhaustion Day, a traditional Manchu holiday celebrated on every 26th day of the 8th month of the lunisolar calendar.

Japan
In Japan, the plant is used far less compared to shiso (Perilla frutescens var. crispa). In the Tōhoku regions of northeastern Japan, it is known as jūnen ("ten years"), because it was believed to add ten years to a person's lifespan. A local preparation in Fukushima Prefecture, called shingorō, consists of half-pounded non-glutinous rice patties, which are skewered, smeared with miso, blended with roasted and ground jūnen seeds, and roasted over charcoal.

Oil pressed from the seeds was historically used to in lamps. The warlord Saitō Dōsan (1494–1556) was said to have been originally a seller of egoma seed oil.

Korea
In Korean cuisine, kkaennip or perilla leaves are widely used as a herb and a vegetable. Kkaennip can be used fresh as a ssam vegetable, fresh or blanched as a namul vegetable, or pickled in soy sauce or soybean paste to make jangajji (pickle) or kimchi.

Deulkkae, the perilla seeds, are either toasted and ground into powder called deulkkae-garu or toasted and pressed to make perilla oil. Toasted deulkkae powder is used as a spice and a condiment for guk (soup), namul (seasoned vegetable dishes), guksu (noodle dishes), kimchi, and eomuk (fishcake). It is also used as gomul (coating or topping) for desserts: Yeot and several tteok (rice cake) varieties can be coated with toasted perilla powder. Perilla oil made from toasted perilla seeds is used as a cooking oil and as a condiment.

In Korean-style western food, perilla leaves are sometimes used to substitute basil, and the seed powder and oil is used in salad dressings as well as in dipping sauces. A Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul serves nutty vanilla ice cream whose secret ingredient is perilla oil.

South Asia

India
In India, perilla seeds are roasted and ground with salt, chilis, and tomatoes to make a savoury side dish or chutney. In Kumaon, the seeds of bhangira (cultivated perilla) are eaten raw, the seed oil is used for cooking purposes, and the oil cake is consumed raw or fed to cattle. The roasted seeds are also ground to prepare a spicy chutney. The seeds and leaves of Perilla are also used for flavoring curries in north east India. Manipuri cuisine uses the ground roasted seed in a salad locally known as singju. Known as nei lieh by the Khasis its seeds are used in salads and meat dishes. The Assamese, Bodos and Nagas are also well aware of its uses.

Nepal
In Nepal, perilla is called silam (सिलाम). Perilla seeds are roasted and ground with salt, chilis, and tomatoes to make a savoury dip/side dish or chutney.

Seed oil

Having a distinctive nutty aroma and taste, the oil pressed from the toasted perilla seeds is used as a flavor enhancer, condiment, and a cooking oil in Korean cuisine. The press cake remaining after pressing perilla oil can be used as natural fertilizer or animal feed.

Do you notice more parents drinking alcohol while taking their children trick-or-treating? Apparently, it's a thing that I just became aware of.
Let me say that I don't drink alcohol, simply for lack of interest. It makes me tired and headachey. I used to enjoy a social drink in my single or childless days, but after pregnancy, I stopped drinking entirely and never regained the taste or tolerance.
I was taking Olivia around for trick-or-treating when we bumped into a mom friend. "We rushed out of the house and I forgot the beer!" she moaned.
"Beer? For what?" I asked.
"To make this bearable! Everyone does it!" she answered, amused at my ignorance.
"Yes! Don't you see everyone with the coolers?" she laughed.
I've seen people pulling wagons with coolers. I really thought it was full of juice boxes for the little ones. I have never thought to question the contents.
I found my husband in the fray of the group of friends we were walking with. He was ahead ten paces.
"Claus! Guess what! Did you know people DRINK while they walk around?" I gossiped.
He looked at me as if I've been living in a cave, which I guess I kind of have. Which is probably a horrible thing to admit since my job now – and for most of my working life – has been as a news professional. I'm supposed to, you know, be aware of what's going on?
Face palm. OMG, I am so naieve!

'Shoestring sailor' Rose's round-the-world epic still enchants, 50 years on | Andy Bull
The solo adventures of Alec Rose, minding his own business on the seas while the press struggled to work out where in the world he was, attracted a reported 250,000 for his return
There were two reasons why Alec Rose wanted to sail around the world. One was to visit his son who lived in Melbourne, the other was the simple matter of having done it. Rose was 59 at the time, and working as a greengrocer in Portsmouth. He left on 16 July 16 1967, and got back 354 days later on 4 July 1968. They say there were more than a quarter-of-a-million people waiting for him on the day he landed. The voyage made him one of the most famous men in the country and earned him a knighthood. Sir Alec was absolutely baffled by it. "What," he asked, "have I done to deserve this?" He went back to work at as greengrocer.

Between the mountain and the sea and under the clear evening skies, the intimate gathering of Viracnons at the newly paved boulevard -- with congressional and gubernatorial aspirants Jorge V. Sarmiento and Cesar V. Sarmiento in attendance -- was part nostalgia and indeed a spontaneous journey into the past.
Jorge, for one, was born in barangay Ilawod in Bato town and grew up still in Ilawod in Virac in that street which is part of San Pablo.
Pointing at the sea, the incumbent congressman added he grew up in this part of the boulevard and can be rightly called one of the original Ilawod boys Viracnon can be proud of.
Well, the Ilawod boys have grown up and have lived up to the island's expectations.
It is now the turn of the islanders to review their May 13 choices and turn to the leaders who did their island proud.


Special Weather Statement: Coastal flooding is possible as spring tides occur. The greatest potential for that will be in the afternoon hours when the tide is expected to be the highest. This coupled with Fernanda swell could lead to higher than usual run-up. This could last through the weekend.
High Surf Advisory: East facing shores of Maui and Molokai through noon Monday.
Small Craft Advisory: East to northeast winds up to 25 knots through 6:00 a.m. Saturday.
An unsettled period is in the forecast for this weekend and into early next week as an upper level disturbance interacts with low level moisture riding in with the trades, and then with deeper tropical moisture associated with weakening and dissipating Tropical Storm Fernanda early next week. Drier weather with lower humidity and strong trades will return by midweek.
We expect east winds around 10 to 15 mph. High temperatures are forecast from 85° to 90° and feeling warmer with a higher heat index. Partly to mostly cloudy skies with showers likely in windward and mauka spots and scattered leeward showers.
Mostly cloudy skies with showers likely for windward spots and scattered showers for leeward areas. Low temperatures from 72° to 77°. Winds are expected to be northeast around 10 to 15 mph.

St Helena: Reefs, Wrecks & Whale Sharks in the South Atlantic
The remote island of St Helena has been an enigma in the South Atlantic Ocean ande ffectively out of reach for most people. For over two decades, contributor Raf Jah had his eyes on St Helena, and he made a vow that when the day flights were announced, he would buy a ticket.
He kept that promise and this is the story of the adventure.
Raf Jah
Farhat "Raf" Jah started taking photographs at the age of about seven with a borrowed camera. Always planning to be a journalist, he fell into the world of scuba diving in 1994. He went on to set up India's biggest dive centre.
At this point, he started writing and taking pictures of his journey's through India in dilapidated landrovers.
After closing his dive operation in 1998, he set off around Africa in another landrover, writing along the way. He never left. He set up a dive centre off the coast of Tanzania on the Island of Pemba.
Now he concentrates on writing and underwater and fine art photography.
His articles and images have appeared in numerous publications, with subjects as diverse as expedition, aviation, travel and fine art images of his native Turkey.
Jah currently divides his time between Tanzania, Turkey and Asia.
For more information, visit: farhatjah.com.
Historically, the only way to visit the British territory was by Royal Mail ship or yacht. With limited yet lengthy sailings and even more limited and very expensive cabins, the island was effectively out of reach for most people.
Three months after the first Embraer E90 landed on St Helena's new airfield, Raf and and his wife Francisca stepped off the plane with a group of rather experienced divers.
Much has been made of the new airport on St Helena Island. And much has been made of the dramatic landings on St Helena. Our reality was simple: a three-hour-and-15-minute flight from our last refuelling stop over the azure Atlantic Ocean. As we approached St Helena, I peered out of the window at the clouds and the shape that was the Island. We made one pass by the island before beginning our approach. The plane curled past an impressive brown knob of rock and suddenly banked to the left and descended slightly. With a healthy bounce, we made contact with the runway. The pilot steadied us, and then all three wheels were on the tarmac. With reverse thrust and a bit of braking, the Embraer E90 rolled to a stop.
St Helena Air Terminal looked ultra-modern, with its shiny glass exterior and clean parking mat. State-of-the-art crash fire tenders, ambulances, re-fuelling trucks, various vehicles along with an out-of-place Dennis town fire engine were parked near it. In the afternoon sun, it all looked quite delightful and breezy, like a tiny regional British airport in the glorious summer sun. For this was all undeniably British. Sadly, the vestiges of Britain were also in attendance, with needlessly officious immigration and quarantine officers. This was not the United Kingdom of 2018, but of my childhood in the 1970s. Rather than be bothered by the foolishness of the situation, we made jokes about it until we finally exited the building.
The airport has been misnamed Jamestown Airport, but in fact, it should really be called "Spider Hill Aerodrome," for it sits next to the world-famous Spider Hill. Indeed, its runway sits in the direction it is, wind shear and all, to save the protected funnel web spiders.
In the carpark, our friend and contact, Anthony Thomas of Sub-Tropic Adventures, met us and loaded our bags onto two vehicles. We set off along a winding road towards Half Tree Hollow and our accommodation. The jeep must have passed through four different ecosystems, from barren desert to lush green forests and small patches of farmland.
After dumping our frogman kit, Anthony took us on a quick cook's tour. The island consisted of a large volcanic rock with lush green valleys, peaks and mountains starting at 2,000ft. With the cooling wind blowing at altitude, you would almost think you were in the valleys of Wales.
Ladder Hill Fort
Then we descended to Ladder Hill Fort. Pronounced "ladi hiw for" by the Saints, this was an impressive fortification that overlooked Jamestown and its sheltered harbour. Once a simple East India Company fortification, Ladder Hill Fort has evolved over the centuries, with its last additions of naval guns being added during World War II. Now, it was home to the "interim fire station," a tin-roofed shed that housed a couple of British Dennis fire appliances and a Carmichael conversion- a fire-fighting landrover. When I asked, I was told that the interim fire station was, in fact, the main fire station and had been "interim" for 20 years.
The fort was open to all, and afforded views of the yachts at anchor and the tenders and barges that service the Royal Mail Ship St Helena. The RMS, as she was known by the Saints, was due in the harbour for its last sailing in a few days.
Below us was a series of 700 large steps that descended 700ft down into Jamestown. These steps were called Jacob's Ladder. Once a supply railway to the fort, it had now been transformed into a steep shortcut from town to Half Tree Hollow. We declined to descend the high steps and drove sedately down into St Helena's administrative capital, Jamestown.
It turned out to be a quaint English fishing village, with no recognisable shops. Jamestown had the same air as parts of Malta and Gibraltar, but with quintessentially British people. The Saints spoke with a patois that sounds to have its roots somewhere between Cornwall and Australia.
The only downside was that the only restaurant that was open every night was that of the Mantis. Other restaurants or cafes would open for a few hours on certain evenings to cater for the wishes of the Saints and expats wishes. After a quick familiarisation with the sea, post office, tourist office and the rendezvous point for diving, we drove back up the hill and went to dinner.
Our diving started the next day. We had opted to stay in the Williams Estate, a series of well-appointed semi-detached bungalows on the side of a mountain. This meant driving down to the wharf every day. Ladder Hill Road was a narrow winding path, which had clearly been an old wagon track. In most places, it was a single-track road, with a small stone wall between the driver and the drop. Descending against the flow of traffic required a keen eye and a swift foot for the accelerator and brake. We made it down with no issues and sought out the dive centre.
St Helena was not the most conventional of islands. Its towering rock cliffs had occasional fissures that dropped down to the sea in steep valleys. At the end of these valleys, there was sometimes access to the sea. This could be in the form of a rocky cluster or a stony beach. At the mouth of every Jamestown was a case in point. The end of the valley was capped with a fortified wall, which sported a large gate. Beyond the wall was a now dry moat, the sea wall, and a shingle beach. There was no jetty, as the island had no deep-water wharf. All ships had to anchor in the bay and have the containers and passengers offloaded by lighter or barge. Every single person going onto and off St Helena had to arrive or leave from a set of steps, 20ft wide.
Anthony had just rented new premises for the Sub Tropic Adventures Scuba Diving Centre, but had not as yet, made the move with all his kit. As such, we assembled by the famous steps and waited. A white Ford transit pick-up appeared, and Anthony and his no. 2, Paul Cherret, started to unload everything. We pitched in and helped while Anthony took a skiff out to collect his RIB. Loading up took seconds, and we were on our way. Anthony was apologetic: "This is not normal. Soon, we'll have the dive centre down here and we'll pre-load the boat, and you will simply step aboard."
Anthony was definitely on the ball, but it made the expedition more real to unload our dive equipment, cylinders and weights, before assembling our scuba kit on the wharf. Just as we were ready, Anthony appeared with a solid South African-manufactured RIB, equipped with radio, first aid kit, oxygen and twin 115 Suzuki four-stroke outboard engines.
Getting into any vessel from St Helena involves a step of the famous steps. Ropes hang down from a metal pole to allow people to pull themselves up at low tide. It seemed incongruous to depart for a dive trip in exactly the same way as governors, Saints and traders had done for over a century.
Anthony turned the RIB eastward, and we zoomed out on the flat calm water. It was a grey day for summer, and we looked back at the island, which looked like a forbidding brown rock made up of towering cliffs and nothing else.
"When expats used to arrive on the RMS, they would look at the rock and wonder where they had arrived. It was only when they went ashore and found the green valleys and views that they calmed down," chuckled Anthony mischievously.
Long Ledge. Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at Long Ledge. Paul threw the anchor in, and we checked our air and kit. After a safety check, we rolled backwards into the water and descended to 6m (18ft) and waited for Anthony.
At 22 degree Celsius, the water was unseasonably cold, and I regretted not bringing my hood. I squirmed and wriggled until all the water in my 5mm Mares suit was warm. I had chosen to buy a standard 5mm suit, rather than some fancy so-called semi-dry effort, and with careful use, the Mares was quite fine.
The others soon appeared, and Anthony led us into a series of swim-throughs or large caves. Each of these caves was brightly lit by shafts of light that pierced into the blue water. The water was extremely clear. The bottom seemed to be a mixture of sand and rock, and yet the rocks were colourful under a torch. Between each one, there was life of some sort. Nudibranches, flatworms and small fish were everywhere. Inside the caves, there were schools of sergeant majors and squirrelfish.
Anthony led us along a series of ledges until we ended up swimming along a finger that pointed out to sea. The bottom dropped away below us, and as we got to the end of the finger, the marine life started to build up.
The fish were clearly attracted to the point. This was a long ledge, and we were at the end of it. I popped down to 26m to have a look at the base of the ledge and found some moray eels and pipefish wandering around. But by this time, I had been diving for 45 minutes and my air was getting low. I slowly made my way back up, and Cisca and I continued along the ledge at 10m, and then 6m, slowly off-gassing as we went.
Papanui. Our second dive was the Papanui, a broken-up steamer that sank in front of Jamestown in 12m of water. The rudder was full of life, but the broken plates and boilers made for a fascinating dive site.
We wandered off across the sand to find the second even more broken-up wreck, and we were pleasantly surprised to find it. We had quite a feeling of history, diving on these two ships, which were over a century old.
We ascended early, but soon the others popped up, yelling and screaming about a devil ray playing with them for 30 minutes. I grabbed my camera and slipped back into the water to look for the ray. It appeared below me and started to do circles. I ducked down on a single breath hold and snapped three photos of the amazing creature below me. Having broken one of the cardinal rules of diving, I thought it best not to be too naughty and left my post-scuba dive, snorkelling activities at that.
We spent five days diving in St Helena, snorkelling with whale sharks and going for afternoon walks in the green valleys. It would be quite boring to list all of the dives, but if there was one dive that summed up the reason to jump on a plane to St Helena right now, it was Torm Ledge.
This dive site in St Helena is based upon a ledge that is about 45m deep and runs a mile out to sea. Only here does the drop-off really begin and descend to 3,000m. Torm Ledge turned out to be an underwater pinnacle that rose up from the sea bed.
We dropped in at 9m and were immediately surrounded by amber jacks, giant trevally and rainbow runners. As this was our last day underwater, I dropped down to 36m where the fish swirled lazily around my camera. They bumped into me, blew bubbles and hunted in front of me.
As I made my way back to 18m, a cloud of powder-blue surgeonfish covered the top of the pinnacle. When they lurched into the blue, they blotted out the sun. Cisca and I sat in the cloud, finning gently in the current watching the pelagics play and hunt.
Just when I thought it could not get any better, a dark shape loomed out of the blue and cruised slowly up to us. An enormous whale shark was right in front of us. It was so slow, I could even snap a photo of Cisca with the shark in the background. The whale shark cruised away, around Torm Ledge, and came back, keeping us company until the end of the dive.
As we climbed back onto the RIB, the whale shark, not satisfied with saying hello once, hung around us under the dive boat. We could literally see it from the pontoons. Someone slid into the water with a mask, and the whale shark just sat there unperturbed.
After that, there was only the final task of enjoying sundowners at Rosies Café, before descending Jacob's Ladder to the Mantis Hotel for an evening meal of plov, the St Helenan specialty. Central Asian pilav, or plov, arrived in St Helena through the East India Company. Now, it is their national dish.
The next day, it was time for the trek past Napoleon's house to the aerodrome at Spider Hill. There was some sea mist, but the E90 landed as soon as it cleared. We walked across the tarmac and boarded the aircraft. It taxied to the end of the runway and roared down the concrete strip. Soon enough, we lifted off the British rock in the middle of the south Atlantic Ocean, turned southeast and made a course for Africa. Four and a half hours later, we landed at Johannesburg Airport and the real world. ■
Every week, an Embraer E90 arrives at Spider Hill Aerodrome. As such, the atmosphere of the island has not changed since the boat days. So, the time to visit is now, before the dynamic and spirit of the island is changed by multiple flights. We travelled with the African and Oriental Travel Company, which specialises in travel to St Helena and Africa. The company organises dive holidays in St Helena, starting at GB£800.00 per person. Flights are GB£780 from Johannesburg and GB£450 from Europe to Johannesburg. So, one week, ex-Europe, could cost a traveller around GB£2,030. For more information, visit: orientafricatravel.com.

St Helena: Diving in the Remote South Atlantic Oasis


A tasty slice full of only good-for-you ingredients. Bake it on the weekend to prepare for the busy week ahead. It freezes brilliantly so it can go straight from freezer to lunchbox. It will be perfectly thawed by lunchtime. Created by Kelly Gibney.
Place banana, butter, honey, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds into a food processor. Blitz until you have a rough puree Add the remaining ingredients and process for two minutes until thoroughly mixed.
Place the batter into a small slice tin and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds. Bake for 35-40 minutes until lightly golden.
Wait 1 hour before cutting. Slice will keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
We asked Sydney creative Luke Lucas how he helped to make our new All Good & Sparkling flavour bombs explode.
