Transforming the Teaching of Shakespeare with the Royal Shakespeare Company
Joe Winston — 2015-02-26 in Literary Criticism
Author : Joe Winston
This book tells the story of the Royal Shakespeare Company's acclaimed and influential project to transform the teaching of Shakespeare in schools. It examines their approaches to making his plays more accessible, enjoyable and relevant to young people, describing the innovative classroom practices that the Company has pioneered and locating these within a clearly articulated theory of learning. It also provides evidence of their impact on children and young people's experience of Shakespeare, drawing upon original research as well as research commissioned by the RSC itself. Authoritative but highly readable, the book is relevant to anyone with an interest in the teaching of Shakespeare, and in how a major cultural organisation can have a real impact on the education of young people from a wide range of social backgrounds. It benefits from interviews with key policy makers and practitioners from within the RSC, including their legendary voice coach, Cicely Berry, and with internationally renowned figures such as the writer and academic, Jonathan Bate; the previous artistic director of the RSC, Michael Boyd; and the celebrated playwright, Tim Crouch.

Transformation Embodiment and Wellbeing in Foreign Language Pedagogy
Joseph Shaules — 2022-12-15 in Language Arts & Disciplines
Author : Joseph Shaules
This volume introduces pedagogical approaches and empirical studies that emphasize deeper, embodied engagement with language, the transformative potential of the language learning experience, and the importance of learner and teacher well-being. A deep learning orientation sees foreign language learning not as a psychologically neutral process of internalising linguistic rules but as an embodied process that is intimately tied to learners' experience of self, including emotion, body states, metaphoric understanding, aesthetic sensibilities, and moral intuitions. This volume challenges language teachers and teacher trainers to move beyond instrumentalist views of language learning, to recognise the deeply impactful nature of the language learning experience, and to consider how language pedagogy can contribute to the development of the learner as a whole person. Chapters in this volume consider the enactment of deep learning from diverse theoretical perspectives, including positive psychology, embodied cognition, cognitive linguistics, motivational theory, literary theory, and moral psychology. The volume provides language teachers, teacher trainers and applied linguists with concrete insights into the multidisciplinary foundations of conceptualizing, planning, and implementing deep learning in language classrooms.

Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose
Ayanna Thompson — 2016-01-28 in Drama
Author : Ayanna Thompson
What does it mean to teach Shakespeare with purpose? It means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching "Western Civilisation†? and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable student-centred discovery of these complex texts. Because Shakespeare's plays are excellent vehicles for many topics -history, socio-cultural norms and mores, vocabulary, rhetoric, literary tropes and terminology, performance history, performance strategies - it is tempting to teach his plays as though they are good for teaching everything. This lens-free approach, however, often centres the classroom on the teacher as the expert and renders Shakespeare's plays as fixed, determined, and dead. Teaching Shakespeare with Purpose shows teachers how to approach Shakespeare's works as vehicles for collaborative exploration, to develop intentional frames for discovery, and to release the texts from over-determined interpretations. In other words, this book presents how to teach Shakespeare's plays as living, breathing, and evolving texts.
Embodied Aesthetics in Drama Education
Matthew DeCoursey — 2018-12-13 in Education
Author : Matthew DeCoursey
If it is a good thing to use drama for education, there must be something specific about drama that makes it good for the purpose. It has power of some kind: it makes things meaningful that would otherwise be meaningless, or things memorable that would otherwise be forgettable. Or perhaps it enables independent thought in an area that would otherwise become mere rote learning. Many practitioners believe that drama has the power to develop learner autonomy, or even to give learners power over their lives. In the last twenty years, a widespread view has developed that this 'something' that creates the benefit of drama is 'aesthetics'. There are many views of aesthetics, but what unites them is the special significance that art has for our lives. This book is about the relation between aesthetics and education in the use of drama. Within it, philosophy appears as the essential connecting discipline between the practice of arts-based education and our advancing knowledge of the interrelations of cognition, emotion, and embodiment. Matthew DeCoursey argues that the power of dramatic art is to be found in its bodily, emotional nature. Drawing on recent work in the aesthetics of theatre, he shows that much of the power of theatre can be attributed to a specific range of ideas and techniques, notably including double meaning-making, aesthetic focus and dramatic tension. Finally, the author relates different forms of drama education to different educational results, holding that the conventional improvised forms are neither superior nor inferior to scripted theatre, but merely serve different purposes. Among those educational results discussed are the emancipation sought both by Rancière and by many practitioners of applied theatre, but also curricular areas, including language education.
Drama based Pedagogy
Katie Dawson — 2018-03-14 in Performing Arts
Author : Katie Dawson
Drama-based Pedagogy examines the mutually beneficial relationship between drama and education, championing the versatility of drama-based teaching and learning designed in conjunction with classroom curricula. Written by seasoned educators and based upon their own extensive experience in diverse learning contexts, this book bridges the gap between theories of drama in education and classroom practice. Kathryn Dawson and Bridget Kiger Lee provide an extensive range of tried and tested strategies, planning processes and learning experiences, in order to create a uniquely accessible manual for those who work, think, train and learn in educational and/or artistic settings. It is the perfect companion for professional development and university courses, as well as for already established educators who wish to increase student engagement and ownership of learning.
The Politics of Performing Shakespeare for Young People
Jan Wozniak — 2016-03-10 in Drama
Author : Jan Wozniak
This book examines performance projects of Shakespeare's plays for young people in terms of their value for their young audiences. Using interviews with theatre workers and workshops with young people, the book argues that it is by trusting young people's experience of performances, rather than promoting a range of pre-determined textual understandings of the plays, that they might gain most benefit. It argues that by privileging the meanings young people make of Shakespeare, new and exciting interpretations of his work might be found.
David Ruiter — 2020-11-26 in Drama
Author : David Ruiter
The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice is a wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on Shakespeare and issues of social justice and arts activism by an international team of leading scholars, directors, arts activists, and educators. Across four sections it explores the relevance and responsibility of art to the real world ? to the significant teaching and learning, performance and practice, theory and economies that not only expand the discussion of literature and theatre, but also open the gates of engagement between the life of the mind and lived experience. The collection draws from noted scholars, writers and practitioners from around the globe to assert the power of art to question, disrupt and re-invigorate both the ties that bind and the barriers that divide us. A series of interviews with theatre practitioners and scholars opens the volume, establishing an initial portfolio of areas for research, exploration, and change. In Section 2 'The Practice of Shakespeare and Social Justice' contributors examine Shakespeare's place and possibilities in intervening on issues of race, class, gender and sexuality. Section 3 'The Performance of Shakespeare and Social Justice' traces Shakespeare and social justice in multiple global contexts; engaging productions grounded in the politics of Mexico, India, South Africa, China and aspects of Asian politics broadly, this section illuminates the burgeoning field of global production while keeping as a priority the political structures that make advocacy and resistance possible. The last section on 'Economies of Shakespeare' describes socio-economic and community issues that come to light in Shakespeare, and their potential to catalyse ongoing discussion and change in respect to wealth, distribution, equity, and humanity. An annotated bibliography provides further guidance to those researching the subject.

Mince pies, parsley cakes and cream gateaux: everyday life in Entre-deux-Eaux, September – December 2016

The swimming pool was on the E2E patio and the damsons dropping from the orchard trees in the last episode. Now, at the start of December, the pool has long been deflated and the pot plants, swing seat, garden benches, garden ornaments and trickle watering pipes are stowed away in a barn, protected from the heavy frosts sparkling on the fields. The winter tyres are on the cars, the summer mud and autumn leaves cleared out of the drainage channels, the oil storage tank re-filled and the underfloor heating comforting indoors. So we could withstand being snowed in. But as yet there is no snow.
On the radio up in the attic there is discussion of pantomimes – Aladdin, Jack in the Beanstalk, Cinderella and Mother Goose – and the mince pies have been opened (though not the sherry, which is rarely sold in France). Tonight Saint Nicholas, resplendent in his purple bishop's robes, will follow a long and colourful procession of floats and dancers through the streets of Saint Dié, before disappearing with a flourish, door bang and fireworks into the Cathedral till next year. We shall probably give the procession a miss, as there's a lot of standing around waiting and evening temperatures have been sub-zero. However next weekend, having been unaccountably delayed for a week, a less dignified Saint Nicholas will manifest in Entre-deux-Eaux, together with the sinister Père Fouettard, to check if the village children have been good all year, before distributing sweets and being serenaded by the children. This is a warmer, homely event in the village hall, so there may well be English observers.
As for the mince pies: this year Helen, sad that the Sainte Marguerite pensioners' Friday Scrabble has diminished to a fortnightly event, has joined the group which meets on the alternate Fridays to do number and word puzzles to keep the ageing brains active. Their sessions are more sociable, starting with funny anecdotes round the table, moving on to exercises and finishing up with cakes and drinks. Helen volunteered cakes for the first December meeting and the group gamely agreed to try out something foreign. But what? After some thought when we were recently in the UK, we stocked up on mince pies and Bakewell tarts. Most people started, gingerly, with a mince pie, with one of the more elegant, sophisticated ladies voicing everyone's uncertainty about the filling. "Dried fruits" puzzled them until someone pronounced it more like marmalade than anything else they knew. The icing on top of the Bakewell tarts was a mistake though, as it was far too sweet for French tastes and overwhelmed the almond flavour which would have been familiar to them from galette des rois. Helen's opening anecdote was probably better received than the tarts: the one most of you will already have heard about incomprehensible English accents and our neighbour being horrified when asked if he'd killed a sanglier (boar), but hearing it as anglais (English man). The ensuing discussion of accents produced another story involving a Breton in a Saint Dié bakery trying to order a bougelov having earlier tasted the Alsace kougelhof cake delicacy.
Kaysersberg is a calendar-picturesque Alsace walled village and even in the damp mist a couple of weeks ago the hills above were golden with autumn leaves. John dislikes going there as he considers it is always crowded with visitors and its quaintness is artificial (having chosen, after the war, to rebuild houses to look just as they used to, with fake beams, timber and carvings concealing the concrete). However after a very good meal in l'Alchemille, a recently opened restaurant on the outskirts, he agreed to a short stroll around the old town. For once the streets were almost deserted and the structurally unnecessary timbered facades and overhanging eves were being decked with green branches and red berries in readiness for the forthcoming Christmas Market and its crowded car parks, mulled wine, traffic wardens, spice bread, wooden stalls, shuffling throngs and, maybe, armed police this year, like Strasbourg. Even the shops were looking sleepy, though the bakery window was full of anticipatory kougelhof and berawecka. Berawecka is a very expensive Alsace Christmas treat made of dried fruit, spice and a dash of kirsch cherry liqueur. It is sold in small slices and, as you would guess, tastes very like the filling of mince pies.
l'Alchemille amuse bouche (link to photographs)
We were glad, however, that the restaurant menu at l'Alchemille had still been very autumnal. Autumn being the time when the pigs are killed, the menu-of-the-day had pièce de cochon gras d'Alsace as its main course. However, another menu with its equally autumnal ingredients caught our eyes with mushrooms "from our mountains", chestnut and celery in the starter. The surprise pre-starters were served first and looked so artistic. On a bed of straw nestled two green conkers, edged with beige mushrooms and dark brown rounds on a fir twig. We were formally introduced to this creativity as parsley crunchy cakes, terrine on a stick and cinder biscuits with pate filling. Wow! And delicious! The creamy mushroom soup starter tasted wonderful and the chicken main course a worthy successor. And then an autumnal dessert of caramelised apple. With the coffee came colourful discs of beetroot, carrot and apple and little blackberry tarts. No wonder John could affably face even the quaintness of the main shopping street afterwards. Perhaps the wine also helped.
Having have been in the UK more frequently this year, we have missed quite a few of the regular autumn events here, like the International Festival of Geography and some of our favourite flea markets. However we were here in September for the Patchwork Festival in Sainte-Marie-aux Mines and surrounding villages. Each year's competition quilts are artistic creations, but the quilts hanging in the church in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines were very basic designs and looked more hastily stitched. But they had a fascinating story.
Mennonite quilt
During the war a Dutch woman, An, and her pastor husband were in the Resistance and sheltered many refugees. At the end of the war all the bedding was burned as it was vermin infested. But then, in 1945, came Ukrainian refugees fleeing Russian persecution. The American and Canadian Mennonites had been canning food and sewing quilts to aid the people of Holland post-war and immediately supplied quilts, which were unfamiliar to the Dutch (but part of the Ukrainians' heritage so they piled them up happily for warmth). When the Ukrainians departed on a ship to Patagonia, where farmers were required, An folded up the quilts and kept them. Years later in 1980 a young American, Lynn, living with her Palestinian husband and child in Holland, spent a weekend in An's farmhouse and was amazed and nostalgic seeing the Mennonite quilts on all the beds. An said they weren't hers to sell but offered to give her one. Lyn, knowing their value, felt she couldn't accept such an expensive gift from a stranger. However, 10 years later, when patchwork and its history were becoming popular in Holland, she asked An if she could exhibit them in their American bookshops in Amsterdam and The Hague at Thanksgiving and their story started to emerge. Eventually Lynn wrote an interesting book called "Passing on the Comfort: The War, the Quilts and the Women Who Made a Difference". Helen is happy to lend her copy to anyone interested.
Around the same time, the oldies of E2E had their September cake and champagne social get-together. Helen took her walking boots as the former mayor often leads a walk for the more active members, usually about six or seven. This time he led us up the track near our house, which we know rather well, then on and ever on. It was a longer walk than many people wanted; one had to turn back, a lift had to be flagged down for another, and the rest of us got back an hour after the cake and champagne were served. There was considerable grumbling. The ex-Mayor was not present at the November meeting and everyone seemed relieved to relax and to play Scrabble and Rummikub instead – and be at the front of the cream cake queue.
We seem to watch a lot of crime series on TV these days, especially during the long winter nights. But the one with the best scenery is definitely Montalbano, which has for a long time been enticing us to visit Sicily, as has the lavishly illustrated book we picked up in an Amnesty Book sale in Saint Dié. And there are flights from Basel to Catania. So we flew to Catania at the end of September and picked up a hire car at the airport. But instead of heading down the coast to Montalbano-land we drove inland. We spent the first night in a B&B outside Piazza Amerina which did a wonderful breakfast spread at which all the guests sat sociably round the laden table exchanging information and tips.
Piazza Armerina Roman mosaics (link to more photographs)
We were well placed to arrive at the nearby palatial Roman villa before all the coach tours, so could gaze for as long as we liked on the amazing mosaic floors from the walkways at first floor level. Each room was decorated very differently, our favourite being a woodland hunting scene to which we returned. There was a more spectacular long floor showing exotic mosaic animals being captured and loaded onto ships, and the one shown on all the posters of "dancing girls", but the rural scene was so delicate and flowing.
By mid-day it was hot, so we drove to Aidone and looked round the cool little museum in a former Capuchin monastery which displayed objects from the excavations of the Greek city of Morgantina. Montalbano was not forgotten, however, as we revived ourselves afterwards with cold drinks and our first (and best) taste of the detective's favourite arancini risotto balls, before exploring the almost deserted Morgantina excavations. This hilltop site was less spectacular than temple sites we were to see later, but its ruins so extensive, with its houses, roads, agora, workshops, amphitheatre, bath-house, granary and sanctuaries, that the sun was going down when we left.
The next day we took a country route towards the south coast and the temples of Agrigento. We did wonder about the meaning of a temporary road sign but were many kilometres further on when its meaning became apparent: boulders deliberately blocked the junction with the road we wanted to be on next. It was a weary return and diversion (un-signposted after the first turn off, then blocked by goats). We were so grateful for our satnav but at least we saw plenty of the wild flowers and changing land use before reaching the more arid coastal landscape where our B&B, the Garden Cactus, rejoiced in an enthusiast's collection of thousands of cacti. That evening it rained, so our next day exploring the famous and popular Greek temples of Agrigento was unpleasantly humid on the exposed temple ridge.
Odd memories of the next day's drive westwards along the coast, with John's hacking cough and cold troubling him, are of a disappointingly scraggy beach, a lonely old man accosting us verbosely in good English in front of one of the gateways to Sciacca old town, and an elegant country hotel where a dish of grapes and a peach was offered as Helen reclined on a chaise longue reading.
Doric temple at Segesta (link to photographs)
In the late afternoon light the following day the Doric temple at Segesta looked magnificent and we caught the last shuttle bus up to the amphitheatre at the top of the hill with its spectacular view.
We spent our most memorable two days, despite John's painful chest and fatigue, in Monreale with its Norman cathedral and pleasant town.
Monreale cathedral (link to photographs)
The cathedral glittered with mosaic Bible stories running in strip cartoon bands on a gold background right round the inside walls of the cathedral, with the magnificent golden Christ Pantocrator of the apse dominating all. More Bible stories as well as intricate plants, mythological beasts, acrobats and archers embellished the capitals of the marble columns supporting the Arab arches of the cloisters. Outside, seen from the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter, the flamboyant Arabic external decoration of the apse was striking.
Christ Pantocrator, Cefalu (link to photographs)
After Cefalu on the coast, whose even earlier cathedral mosaics, apart from the Christ Pantocrator, were disappointing after Monreale, we headed inland again to the hilltop villages and towns. In Castelbuono we enjoyed the museum in the castle and the rather crude frescoes in the damp church crypt, and a cheap cafe in Nicosia. The wooded scenery was attractive but then the narrow road began to disintegrate and John had to navigate craters for many kilometres. To add to the atmosphere, Etna smoked dark but subdued ahead of us; and as we got nearer, the fertile orchards were blackened by lava flow, the winding country lanes were edged with black walls and the houses looked sinister with their black stones. Back in Catania the buildings and shabby streets were also a depressing black, but the vibrant street fish market and vegetable market added plenty of colour.
Despite not doing everything we'd planned in Sicily, we had a memorable twelve days there. We then had three days back in E2E, before setting out for the UK, which gave time to get the washing done and the car loaded with extra chairs, cooking equipment and crockery, as we planned to celebrate John's 70th birthday in our considerably smaller (and relatively less well-equipped) house in Letchworth.
It was Jacob's half term, and he helped us prepare the house and garden and food for the party, in between playing some of his favourite games. It was a shame he wasn't with us on the Saturday as he would have enjoyed helping Alistair put up his two gazebos in the garden to form a spacious food tent. But he was back on the Sunday with Farrah, Rachel and Toby to join all the guests sampling the spread (thank-you Ann and Jessica for all the delicious extras!) laid out in the gazebos. And the day was even warm enough (just about) for some people to sit outside and others to undertake the Letchworth quiz. It was a good celebration and catch up with family and old friends. Ann and Derek came back for dinner on Wednesday, John's actual birthday. And on the Friday we met up with Jessica and Mark for an amazing nine course lunch at The Clove Club in Shoreditch. So it was a lovely week.
The following week we had an enjoyable day in Cambridge (some good book purchases!) and on the Thursday drove up to Nottingham (another convivial meal, this time Indian, with Leila, John and Wendy). From there we drove up to the Lake District to meet up with the Train Gang. We all gathered at Sue and Hugh's Old Schoolhouse for honey-chicken on the Friday evening, and it was good to include most of the husbands for the first time; even the neurotic and fearful (abused) dog coped with the gang by dint of watching the clock timer ticking loudly. The autumn colours were glorious as the gang drove to Patterdale church to see the plaque to the fifth member who died a couple of years ago. And in the evening we went back to a pub the gang had enjoyed a few years back.
On the way up Cat Bells
The weather was not so good the next day when Jessica, John and Helen climbed up Cat Bells and Shelagh and Melvyn returned to Patterdale, but the hills were purple with heather and, when the rain clouds lifted, snow could be seen on the top of Skiddaw and Helvelyn.
On the way back from seeing the Traingang, we stopped to have lunch with Ann and Michael at the Old Hall in Sandbach (wonderful building but standard pub food). They had rented our farmhouse in the early days, and returned several times to dog-sit for our American friend Nicola. So it was good to catch up with them. And there was another link to that era when we returned to E2E a few days later; an e-mail from Nicola announced the death of Godiva, the last of the cats that Nicola had adopted in 1997 after other farmhouse tenants had told her about the four kittens abandoned by a wild cat in a woodpile below our vegetable patch. Two of those peasant kittens had later moved to a Paris flat and two had gone to the south coast with Nicola and her dogs, far from their humble origins.
Since those busy weeks in Sicily and in the UK, everyday life has seemed calmer back in E2E. The most frequent vehicles on our road are tractors bringing bales of hay down to the cowshed. So it was a surprise the other day to hear a gaggle of girls running after a car, waving something in their hands. They turned out to be some of the Saulcy baton-twirlers selling their calendar – probably more colourful than that of the firemen or rubbish collectors, and a definite indication of the fast-approaching end of the year. No doubt the postman will knock soon with his calendars. He will have to hurry, as only next week we hope to be re-packing the car and setting off for Christmas in Letchworth.
In the meantime, we hope you are enjoying all your December activities and preparations. Joyeuses fetes de fin d'année!

The American car company "Lucid" is in talks with the Saudi Public Investment Fund to build an electric vehicle plant in Saudi Arabia.
Sources told the American "Bloomberg" agency that it is possible that the factory will be built near the city of Jeddah overlooking the Red Sea, as the Kingdom is diversifying its economy and trying to become a Middle Eastern center for the manufacture of electric vehicles.
The sources expect that the factory will be built in King Abdullah Economic City, noting that the talks have reached advanced stages, but some changes may occur at any moment, such as changing the location of the factory to the city of Neom in the north of the Kingdom, as it is also one of the options presented as a possible site for building the company's factory. American.
It is noteworthy that Lucid obtained investments from the Saudi Fund in 2018, and the Kingdom set a condition for establishing a factory for it in Saudi Arabia.

NEWCOMERSTOWN When an event draws enough people to create a traffic jam, it's a success. And that was what the Easter Experience hosted by the Home Plate Project became on Saturday, March 27, at Cy Young Park.
The free event by the community ministry program included free food, prizes (including bicycles and Easter baskets), and thousands of Easter eggs.
A crowd estimated at over 1,000 jammed into Cy Young Park with plenty of children, parents and grandparents coming to enjoy a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. Traffic was backed up to College Street prior to the event and cars were parked everywhere at the park. One of those attending was almost in awe when they arrived, saying, "I didn't know there were this many people in Newcomerstown."
As a result of the generosity of the community, the Home Plate Project was able to donate 18 bicycles, 33 Easter baskets, an Xbox series and 7,293 Easter eggs.
Daniel and Kristen Bias of the Home Plate Project said, "You came together as a community to help spread the love of Jesus and put smiles on families' faces today! We cannot wait to share videos, drone footage, and lots and lots more photos in the week to come! Stay tuned! And thank you again for allowing us to participate in this community wide event."
The event also featured references to the Easter season and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Prior to the event, the Bias family said, "We want to remember the real reason for the season, which is why we will have a kid friendly Biblical walkthrough at the 'Experience' to learn about the real Easter story."
Mayor's report
Mayor Pat Cadle thanked members of the Masonic Temple for donating $500 towards a splash pad project at Cy Young Park when he posted his weekly report.
In addition, Mayor Cadle reported:
• The Strategic Planning Commission met on Monday, March 22, to begin reviewing for the zoning program.
• Prices for the 2021 pool are set to go to council, with not a lot having changed, other than installing out-of-district prices again.
• Meeting with Carol Swigert about the free pool pass program this year.
Mayor Cadle said the village will need to replace the culvert under the road for the new boat ramp at the former Simonds site along the Tuscarawas River.
"We will need to excavate the old clay tile pipes that are half filled or half-broken," Mayor Cadle said. "AT&T has been consulted due to the large fiber optics line that they are moving being above the present pipe."
Hot spot donations
The Newcomerstown Public Library is continuing a campaign to provide additional Internet "hot spots" for the community.
The need for additional hot spots stems from low income households, those seeking alternatives to internet usage for remote learners, more rural and outlying areas in Appalachia untouched by direct connections and those areas only accessible by cellular devices.
Cody Addy, Library Director, noted, "With the option of using mobile hotspots, we were the first library in our three-county radius to help offer unlimited 'free' WiFi for school education, job and career searching, career education needs and entertainment.
"The main focus for this project is to offer those needing web access the option to have it. While focusing on the implementation process, the thought was to be able to help students access their school information and classwork as well to help those in the job and career field to look for and respond to job applications. Currently, internet connection is similar to other amenities like water, electric and gas. Without access to the internet, people face hardships because of its lack. They might not be able to continue their education, apply for most careers, have the opportunity for required research for work and school. The list goes on.
"As Library staff and users, discussions with patrons and being members of the community, we understand the impact to be magnificent for many. We have heard that access to the hotspot was a Godsend. There are firsthand accounts from parents, students and educators who couldn't afford or receive internet at home during the school closures. This project helped them get through that time. Others needing to search and apply for careers have not been able to because they could not access some public computers during Library open hours and other restrictions."

Graduation/Dance
This year's eighth grade dinner dance will look a little different than in years past, according to Principal Jason Peoples.
"We are glad that we are now able to hold an event, yet we had to make some changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic," Peoples said. "We are trying to get this information to parents and guardians before they make any clothing purchases as may have been done for previous years, and we want to provide a special evening for our outgoing eighth graders."
On Friday, May 14, from 1:30-2:45 p.m., the school district will live-stream the certificate part of the eighth grade graduation. For those unable to watch the ceremony live, it will be posted on the Middle School Facebook page so you can watch it at any time. Students attending can wear school attire or business casual attire.
From 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, May 15, there will be a dinner/dance at the Middle School. There will be pizza, wings and pop available starting at 6 p.m., followed by a dance starting at 7 p.m. Peoples said Trojan shirts and jeans would be appropriate attire.

The Nigeria Amputee Football team was involved in a car crash on their way to Abuja from Lagos on Monday. The team had a visa appointment at the Mexican Embassy in Abuja for their trip to the Amputee World Cup in Mexico.
The Special Eagles have constantly battled against odds in their bid to get to the World Cup in Mexico. After missing the last three editions of the World Cup due to a lack of funds, the team hopes to avoid a repeat which would result to heavy sanctions by the World Amputee Football Federation.
Though there was no loss of life from the accident that happened on the Lokoja-Abuja expressway, some of the players sustained minor injuries and scrapes. According to reports, the members of the Amputee team were helped by some military personnel that helped them out of the crash site.
The team under the Sports Ministry, however, is in a race to gather enough funds to cover logistics costs, upkeep and flight tickets to Mexico. They have explored various means to sourcing funds including a crowd-fund and sales of their bright-colored jerseys. They got a major boost when the Nigeria Football Federation and the Super Eagles donated money to their cause. The NFF gave the Special Eagles N2.5 million while the Super Eagles pledged almost N6 million. The team is still reportedly short of the N14 million estimated to get the team to the World Cup.


OKLAHOMA CITY – Romance might be on your mind with Valentine's Day on the horizon, and a couple of Oklahoma restaurants have been named some of the most romantic in the country.
On Friday, Yelp released its 'Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants of 2019' and two Oklahoma City restaurants made the list.
Paseo Grill in Oklahoma City ranked 64th on the list, followed by Cheever's Cafe in Oklahoma City at 68th.
Yelp says they identified restaurants with a large number of reviews that mentioned the words 'romantic,' 'Valentine's Day' and 'date night,' and then ranked those spots using several other factors.

Stuck - Ex partner taking the house but not buying me out!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I work part-time, ex partner is full time. We broke up. Me being part time nearly impossible to afford mortgage and bills on my own. He's refuses to move out. So I've had to rent a room somewhere.
Problem is, the bank he's with has only been able to approve a new mortgage for him, paying off a joint loan, but no pay out to me (I can't have a mortgage being part time). The house is worth at least 10k above the mortgage cost and loan. That's 5k each, and that's based on the lowest property valuation.
If I demand my share, he more than likely will move out in protest and leave me paying the bills and mortgage with all of my wage. Nothing left over for groceries/food or transport.
I've tried Citizens Advice Bureau, but the phone lines are constantly busy. Obvious one solution is finding someone to rent a room out to.., but coming from someone that's been renting during this situation and close by, there's no one interested in renting.
Everyone is screaming at me to not sign away the house without payment. But without a solution, I can't see any other way.
Thank you for reading all of this. Just need to talk through any options more than anything.
Move back in. He'll soon get the message.
From what you say it sounds like both of the shares in the house are worth very little, especially after costs are taken into account. The property valuation is a guide only - the house could turn out to be in negative equity. Under those circumstances is it worth the hassle? Easiest if the ex takes on the mortgage and responsibility for the loan leaving you with no encumbhrances and so able to get on with your life.
So the mortgage is currently in both of your names, but he's getting a mortgage only in his name, which will also pay a joint loan you both have?
I suppose this all depends on if the current mortgage is also in your name......because if it isn't, he's going to pay off a joint loan you both have (if I've read that right) but not give you half of a 'possible' £10,000 equity in the house? If I'm honest with you that seems fair to me.
Being part time wouldn't stop you being on a joint mortgage by the way. So I'm unsure why his current bank would only approve a new mortgage for him?
Your choice is a simple one - either he buys your joint ownership from you, or it goes on the market.
£10k of equity in the property is not much, and in the event of a sale it'd be very easy to see that disappear in a little bit of prep, some negotiation and EA/legal fees - as well as a few more months of mortgage interest. You could even end up with less than the current nothing. So perhaps if you agreed to him paying you, say, £2,500? Maybe £500-1k now and the rest over the next 6-12 months?
Can the two of you trust each other to have a sensible, adult discussion about this without descending into recriminations about the relationship...? Is there somebody you both trust who could act as a moderator to keep you on track?
For 5k just walk away.
If you had to sell you would be paying for estate agents, extra solicitor costs etc and would likely lose a lot of that anyway.
If you try to insist on him giving you 5k and drag it out you stand to lose much more.
Let him have the hous3, clean break, start again.
How long have you had it, and how much is paid off? How much deposit did you both put in?
It would think it would be fairer to force a sale.
Another recent poster on MSE had a problem a joint loan where the ex wouldn't make any payment towards it. At least your ex is happy to clear all the joint borrowing you have so that you are unencumbered and cannot have a CCJ against you because he decides not to pay at some point.
As others have said, for the amount involved, I would walk away and be happy that you were able to achieve a clean break.
You have the option to do more work so that you can save for a deposit and pay a mortgage. It's always tough when a relationship breaks down, but given that this has happened, you should focus on bringing enough money in to make your dreams happen.
For some reason I've not been notified of the responses.
Bigisi, I am unable to move back in as he has a tendancy to be confrontationally unreasonable to put it politely. One of the reasons for our rift.
Linton, I am starting to realise the shares aren't worth very much either (after much research), it's more sentimental for myself, as this property has been in my family for three generations, and he fully knows the history. I am also very scared of rejecting transfer of equity, and then the house sells without clearing the loan, which is in joint names.
Adrian, I thought my choice was simple too, he pays me £5k or I pay him £5K, banks will not stretch that far with his salary or mine even though he is full time. Sensible adult discussion? - not sure he's capable - you know what they say, you only truely know someone once you live with them. Lesson learnt I guess!
Onwards and Tacpot, After having my family and friends grill me for leaving the house (for my own health) telling me I'm crazy to walk away without anything, I've been trying to figure out the fairest solution. Even though he is a **** I am a fair person. Strangely enough I was initally granted a mortgage and the loan cleared before christmas but he refused to move out for wanting at least £5k. Now he wants me to sign over without a share!
Time to tell the folks I'm losing the family house, but fresh start.. Thank you guys. I needed the impatial advice.
Choose what notifications you want.
Honestly, just be done with it. I wouldn't usually advise that but it's a sum which isn't worth fighting and fighting over (as galling as it is giving in) and the relief you will feel when you walk away will be worth every penny.
I'm in a similar position too and now I feel I've been mugged over by my ex wife. I gave her and the children the house and walked away. I didn't even know about equity etc or being bought out. We paid the mortgage together, we married, I was on the mortgage until the divorce and I walked away giving her the transfer of ownership. Is it now a case of horse, door, bolted?
Absolutely impossible to say based on that.
How long ago was the divorce, and has there been a complete financial settlement agreed?
What ages are the children, what are your relative incomes and other assets? Do you pay any maintenance to your children?
What was the house worth, what was the outstanding mortgage?
Were you joint borrowers as well as joint owners? Are you still?
House bought in '99 £80k, partner paid deposit from previous property and existing mortgage.
Hoping to see Citizen Advice Bureau. Hoping there's at least a little bit I can have back that is rightfully mine.


We are unnecessarily wasting our precious resources in wars… If we must wage war, we have to do it on Unemployment, Disease, Poverty and Backwardness.
No Guns, but only brotherhood can solve our problems.
Our aim should be to make India a global R&D.
We hope the world will act in the spirit of enlightened self interest.
My poet's heart gives me strength to face political problems, particularly those which have a bearing on my conscience.
We have to move forward, together!
Our words, actions and diplomatic efforts should be aimed at trying to achieve pragmatic goals rather than creating rhetorical effect.
Why shouldn't I live every moment to the fullest ?
Why shouldn't I admire the beauty in every fragment?
We can break at this point, but we can't bend now.

Analogous Ratings – What They Are
Upon granting service connection for a veteran's disability, VA assigns a disability rating for that disability based on the presence and severity of symptoms and treatment. VA disability ratings are designed to compensate veterans for the approximate loss of earning capacity due to their service-connected disability.
VA uses the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) to assign diagnostic codes and disability ratings to veterans' disabilities. A diagnostic code is simply the numerical code assigned to a specific disability or condition that VA uses to identify and rate a veteran's disability.
However, not all disabilities have their own diagnostic code in the VASRD. Those that do not have their own diagnostic code are given analogous ratings.
What Are Analogous Ratings and How Are They Assigned?
Analogous ratings are ratings given to conditions that are not explicitly included in the VASRD. Analogous ratings are assigned based on what condition most closely matches the overall symptoms or treatment of the disability that VA is trying to rate. Under 38 C.F.R. 4.20, VA can look at "not only the functions affected" when assigning an analogous rating, but also "the anatomical localization and symptomatology" to ensure they "are closely analogous." Additionally, when assigning an analogous rating, VA must apply the rating criteria that is most favorable to the veteran, usually that which results in a higher disability rating for the veteran's disability.
Analogous ratings are assigned in the decision in which VA grants service connection for a veteran's condition. Typically, VA will explain in the decision that the disability is being rated analogous to another diagnostic code.
Common Examples of Analogous Ratings
These are some common examples of conditions that are rated analogous, and the criteria used to rate them:
Headaches – Tension or Sinus
Headaches, tension headaches, and sinus headaches do not have their own rating criteria. These are all rated analogous to the rating criteria for migraine headaches under diagnostic code 8100. The rating criteria for migraine headaches is based on the average occurrence of prostrating attacks. Prostrating attacks can include those that require a veteran to lie down due to the pain from their headache.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common condition among veterans in which stomach acid flows up the food pipe and irritates the lining of the esophagus. Despite how common it is, VA does not have a diagnostic code for GERD and must rate it analogous. Frequently, GERD is rated analogous to hiatal hernia under diagnostic code 7346. The rating criteria for hiatal hernia is based in part on the presence of vomiting, pain, and regurgitation.
Do Analogous Ratings Decrease Compensation?
As mentioned above, VA is supposed to assign the rating criteria that is most favorable to the veteran, and that typically means the rating criteria that results in the higher disability rating. As many veterans know, the higher the disability rating, the more compensation a veteran receives.
However, VA does not always assign the most applicable rating criteria when assigning an analogous rating. If a veteran or their advocate believes that they should be getting more compensation for their condition, they can argue that the veteran be rated under another, more fitting rating criteria that could result in more compensation.

Mesa expansion means BRI will be able to go back to its creative roots
Steve Burks
Empty Beer Research Institute kegs sit in the now empty space that will soon be filled with a 105-barrel brewing system and seating for 100 people as the Mesa brewery and restaurant launches an expansion project. (Steve Burks/MyNewsMesa.com)
Walk into The Beer Research Institute (BRI) on just about any late afternoon or evening and the place is abuzz. Pints, snifters and flights of beer fly out from behind the bar at a steady clip. Business is good.
Plywood covers what will soon be the pass-through doorway between the original Beer Research Institute bar and dining area and the new expansion. The expansion will mean 100 more seats for patrons at the nearly 3-year-old Mesa brewery and restaurant. (Steve Burks/MyNewsMesa.com)
For founders Matt Trethewey and Greg Sorrels, who began their adventures by experimenting with the brewing process in the garage of Trethewey's home in Mesa, all this business has taken away their ability to live up to their unique name.
"We love to play, but over this past year, our beers just keep getting sucked down so quickly that we just have to keep brewing and brewing," said Sorrels. "We can't have that creative touch right now."
Soon, however, there will be ample room to put more R in what BRI stands for, as the Mesa business launches an expansion project at its Mesa Grand Shopping Center location, taking over the retail space next to its current operation at 1641 S. Stapley Drive, steps away from the AMC Mesa Grand 14 theaters.
"Expansion has always been a part of our focus," said Trethewey, who now handles the operations side of the business while Sorrels handles the brewing side. "The original concept and business plan that we came up with was to open a local, independent brew-pub that has scratch food and craft beer that we made and do it on a small scale. Then, as we got success, look at doing an expansion."
Why Mesa?
Trethewey has had his eye on the space next door to BRI since the brewery opened in 2014. The vacant space tucked into the far north side of the center, was originally an El Paso BBQ, then later a fitness center. After negotiations, the landlord divided the space, with BRI taking 2,300 square feet of the more than 7,000 that was available.
"The location has a lot of challenges, but we knew that if we can make it successful in our first year, we'll have enough substance to handle an expansion," Trethewey said. "This plan was by design, but we knew we had to be patient and not commit to more than we could handle. So we just had to wait."
BRI has been planning for this expansion for more than a year and has been ready to begin work since the start of 2017, but the landlord had to complete work on dividing the space. BRI's work on the space is expected to begin by Sept. 7, with contractors tearing up the concrete floor to put in drains in what will be the new brewing facility.
The expansion takes BRI's footprint from 3,000 square feet to 5,300 and gives Trethewey and Sorrels room to expand their brewing capacity from 25 barrels of fermenting space to 105 barrels. In simpler terms, the brewery will go from being able to produce 50 standard, 15-gallon kegs during one brewing cycle (usually 14-16 days) to being able to churn out 210 kegs in that same time.
"Our No. 1 selling beer is the 480G IPA and we make it in our 10-barrel fermenter (the largest fermenter currently in the brewery) and we simply cannot make enough of that," Trethewey said during an interview in early August. "As I talk to you, we just tapped our last keg of that and it will be gone today. We'll be without that, our No. 1 seller, for eight to 10 days. These are the struggles that we're in. We knew we had to expand."
The new brewing space will be separated from the added seating area by a glass wall, allowing patrons a look at the equipment and any work that is being done in the brewery.
"The thing that people geek out on the most is seeing the tanks," Trethewey said. "So anytime you can showcase those, you're just drawing people into what you do."
The seating capacity for the brewery will go from 100 to more than 200, with the new seating space also doubling as a private event area. The kitchen will remain unchanged during the expansion, which Trethewey hopes will take 10 weeks to complete. That time frame will likely mean the expansion will be done by late December or early January. BRI celebrates three years in business in November.
The room that currently houses the BRI brewing equipment will be turned into a barrel aging room. Barrel aging is a popular process in the craft beer industry that uses wood barrels that once held bourbon, tequila or wine. Brewers age their brews inside, and the beers come out with subtle flavors from the liquor or wine that mix well with certain styles of beer.
"We've done Belgian blondes in wine barrels, we've done stouts and ambers and dark beers in bourbon barrels, we've had a lot of success with small-batch barrel aging," Trethewey said. "Now we'll be able to dramatically increase what we're doing there.
"We typically have two or three barrels going at one time, but with the expansion, we'll have anywhere between 18 and 21 going at any time."
With his current brewing operation running at full steam nearly year-round, Sorrels had precious little time to experiment. Now, with more than four times the brewing capacity, he is looking forward to the opportunity to try out new recipes.
Brew experiments
"Playing with new beers, constantly having a new beer out every week, it's going to be fun and exciting," Sorrels said. "Right now, we have a laundry list of things we want to do, but we have to keep our tap handles full. I'm hoping that with this expansion, we can play with those new beers and live up to our name and get back to our roots."
Trethewey said that he is proud that his brewery and accompanying restaurant is growing. The expansion will allow him to create more local jobs. He plans to add more servers and kitchen help, as well as brewery personnel.
"As a business owner, I would rather create jobs here than to outsource it to someone else," Trethewey said. "We want to build community, we want to add to it and pay taxes to the city and help our community. We live in Mesa. I wanted to open this in Mesa so we could add another nugget of culture."
Aside from the jobs the expansion creates, the added brewing capacity will mean BRI will expand its market reach. Currently, Trethewey can't fill all of the orders from local bars and restaurants that want to have BRI products on tap. Saying no to businesses that want to sell his product has been difficult for Trethewey, but he had to in order to keep the taps in his own facility flowing.
"We can't make enough beer to keep us with 15 lines flush at this place. We sell through it too fast," Trethewey said. "We currently juggle 10 different outside accounts right now, but we've got a list of 35 accounts that desperately want our beer in the Valley.
"We have the brand recognition, people have the desire for our beer. It's a great problem to have. Now we need to have a solution, we need to make more beer."
As the beer starts flowing out of BRI's facility and to different accounts throughout the Valley, Trethewey will be adding a sales staff and delivery driver. If BRI sees continued success in the market and can grow even more, Trethewey said he's already thinking ahead.
"The remaining space (next to the area BRI is expanding to) is in a tricky area and it's going to be really tricky for them to lease it out to anybody," Trethewey said. "So it's sitting there waiting for us to make our next expansion."

United Porto Rican Sugar Co. v. Saldana
74 F.2d 410 (1st Cir. 1934)
1st Circuit
United Porto Rican Sugar Co.v.Saldana
Circuit Court of Appeals, First CircuitDec 19, 1934
No. 2874.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the District of Puerto Rico.
Earle T. Fiddler, of San Juan, P.R., for appellant.
Francis H. Dexter, of San Juan, P.R., for appellee.
Before BINGHAM and WILSON, Circuit Judges, and LETTS, District Judge.
BINGHAM, Circuit Judge.
This proceeding is ancillary to the action at law in No. 2873 (C.C.A.) 74 F.2d 409. It was brought by the United Porto Rican Sugar Company against Fernando del Toro Saldana in which it asked for and was given an injunction restraining the defendant from destroying or interfering with its derivation canal pending a final disposition of that action. As the disposition of this proceeding depends upon a determination of the merits of the cause in No. 2873 (see our opinion in that case), and the facts and rulings of law found and made in that case are not made a part of this one, it cannot now be disposed of and may stand postponed to the January session 1935, when such disposition of it may be made as circumstances require.
At the time the appeal was taken and allowed in the District Court, the court ordered the injunction herein granted should be continued pending the appeal upon the sugar company filing a bond in the sum of $1,000 conditioned to pay all damages suffered by the defendant by reason of the continuance of the canal, which probably has been given, and, inasmuch as the plaintiff in No. 2873 has been enjoined from interfering with the defendant's possession of the land in dispute where the canal is and the defendant is restrained from interrupting the operation of the canal, the rights of the parties will not suffer.

Q: GWT ComboBox Chronological Order I have the GWT ComboBox widget(ListBox+TextBox) .User can enter some text into this widget or select from the list of previously existing texts by clicking on the dropdown arrow.
So ,i have an ArrayList and when ever a user enters text and clicks the "Search Button" i perform a search if the entered text exists in the ArrayList and if it doesnt exist i add the text to the ArrayList .
Then later when i need to display the ComboBox in the View, i am iterating through my ArrayList and adding every String in the Arraylist to ComboBox.
The way the values are displayed in the Combo Box are not in Chronological order.The latest entered text is at the bottom of the ComboBox.How can i make this Chronological?
I can reverse the list and add it to my ComboBox.But when a user selects a text which is already existing thats when the problem is.(I can sublist the ArrayList ,push the selected item to the top and make adjustments to the sublist and add it back to the main ArrayList,but i feel its too long and not effective)
So are there any suggestions with respect to the data structure that i am using(ArrayList)? which could make my task easier?
Sorry for being over elaborate but i always feel its better to be than not to.

A: Does this sample code manage the list of criteria in the way you wanted:
import java.util.*;
public class ListManager {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String[] items = {"snow", "rain", "ice", "sleet", "ice", "sunny"};
    List<String> criteriaList = new ArrayList<String>();
    String criteria;
    for (String newCriteria : items) {
        if (criteriaList.remove(newCriteria)) {
            System.out.println(newCriteria + " was in the list already");
        }
        criteriaList.add(0, newCriteria);
        System.out.println();
        System.out.print("List is: ");
        for (String x : criteriaList) {
            System.out.print(x +"  ");
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

}
The output is:
List is: snow
List is: rain  snow
List is: ice  rain  snow
List is: sleet  ice  rain  snow
ice was in the list already
List is: ice  sleet  rain  snow
List is: sunny  ice  sleet  rain  snow

Years of dedicated public engagement on the part of State and federal Council members, in a variety of forums, yielded a wealth of information that supported the development of the ecosystem restoration goals and objectives outlined in the Initial Comprehensive Plan and have shaped the work of the Council. In an effort to ensure that public input provided to the Council and its predecessor, the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, over the past four years is considered as the Council begins project evaluation and selection activities, the Council summarized public input regarding restoration in a Summary of Public Input: 2010-2013.
The Council will consolidate this input into a report and consider this high-level input when developing a draft FPL to identify which projects and programs closely resonate and align with what communities hope to see as outcomes of this important work. While the draft FPL will be published in the Federal Register to formally solicit public comment, various Council members may provide additional opportunities for public input (community conversations) prior to the release of a draft FPL. Dates, times and location information is posted below. We will update this list as additional meeting information becomes available.
"The public meeting scheduled for October 22nd in Panama City has been changed to a Public Webinar. The webinar will be held on October 22nd from 6PM to 8PM EST. We hope this allows broader participation state-wide and we look forward to you joining us."

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice hasn't been a flop, but Warner Bros. are still disappointed with it, especially as it's unlikely to reach $1 billion. After a record breaking opening weekend, ticket sales have fallen dramatically, a sign that after the initial rush of people keen to see these two icons together on the big screen, repeat business and word of mouth was almost non-existent.
Clocking in at three hours, that gives it a good thirty minutes of never before seen footage, but will moviegoers want to re-watch a longer version of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice after not enjoying it the first time? If nothing else, comic book fans would certainly flock to this one, and positive reviews could at least stoke the interest of the general public.
Regardless, this is a plan that could either backfire on Warner Bros. or pay off big time by taking Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice past $1 billion worldwide, a figure it needs to reach to really be considered a hit in a marketplace where even Deadpool has topped $750 million.
For now, we're just going to have to wait and see how all this plays out, but tell us, would you be interested in watching an R-Rated cut of the film? Sound off below and let us know.

Love Is Blind's Mark Cuevas Marries Aubrey Rainey
Somebody notify the pod squad!
Love Is Blind alum Mark Cuevas is married. The reality star, 28, tied the knot with Aubrey Rainey, 27, at Sapphire Creek Winery and Gardens in Chagrin Falls, Ohio on Sept. 4. The bride announced the news by sharing a photo from their wedding on Instagram and writing, "Officially The Cuevas family."
According to Us Weekly, Aubrey walked down the aisle in an Enzoani gown while Mark donned a white suit jacket along with a matching button-up shirt, bow-tie and black pants. Aubrey told the outlet they wanted to incorporate the colors champagne, black and white into their décor for a "classic modern" look. Guests sat at tables featuring white table cloths, gold chiavari chairs and white blooms, and there was a giant light-up "Cuevas" sign featured on the floor.
The event was certainly a family affair. According to Us Weekly, Mark and Aubrey's sons Ace, 16 months, and Axton, 6 months, served as ring bearers and joined the couple for their first dance. Some of their Love Is Blind family members were there, too—with the outlet reporting that Matt Barnett, who wed Amber Pike on the show, fulfilled the role of groomsman.
