Thomas Foulds Ellsworth Ipswich MA Hero & Medal of Honor
Melissa Berry and Laurie Short Jarvis sharing Archives & Memorabilia Captain Thomas Ellsworth was one of four soldiers who earned the Medal of Honor for heroism during the battle at Honey Hill, South Carolina, on November 30, 1864. Under a heavy fire he carried his wounded commanding officer from the field, thereby saving his life and preventing him from being captured.
Thomas Fouls Ellsworth was born in Ipswich, MA November 12, 1840. He was the son of Benjamin Noyes Ellsworth (1812-1902) and Laura Ann Titus (1810-) daughter of John Smith Titus (1780-1868) and Sally Boyton (1784-1871). Laura was formerly married to Timothy Jewett Ellsworth of Salem, MA. (see records below) More family photos end of post Benjamin N Ellsworth son of William Ellsworth and Esther Noyes.

Thomas married Harriet Taylor Colby March 6 1861. Harriet born November 1 1841, was the daughter of George Curwin Ward Colby (Isaac4, Isaac3, Isaac2, Anthony1) and Harriet Kitchen
George married first Dorothy B. Philbrook, daughter of Simeon Philbrook on March 27, 1825. The family lived on the present Arthur Taylor place and then removed to Newburyport, MA. George was a truckman and had extensive business for several years. The house was located on 62 Middle Street. Dorothy died Sept. 12, 1831, and he married Harriet Kitchen/Kitching April 27, 1832.

Back of photo recorded by Laurie Short Jarvis GGG Uncle Captain Thomas Foulds Ellsworth, son of Benjamin Noyes Ellsworth (Ipswich lighthouse keeper during the 2nd half of the 1800's) Received the Congressional Medal of Honor for saving the life of his wounded commanding office who was trapped under his horse at the Battle of Honey Hill. He was in the 55th Black Infantry out of Mass, referred to as the 'overflow unit' for the infamous 54th of "Glory' fame. The men from the 55th were moved into the 54th after the 54th received heavy casualties. The 54th and 55th fought side by side at Honey Hill. Was wounded at Gettysbury 2/3/1863
Thomas was wounded in the ankle at Gettysburg July 3, 1863, but not considered disabled so he reenlisted. He was discharged January 19, 1864 on receiving commission of of second lieutenant in the 55th Massachusetts October 4, 1863. He became first lieutenant June 20, 1864 for his bravery and promoted to Captain December 1, 1864. He was awarded one of our country's top honors for saving the life of his commanding officer in the battle of Honey Hill in 1864. Under heavy fire, and at great risk to his own life, he carried his wounded commanding officer from the field of battle. Ellsworth had joined the Union Army's Second Massachusetts Volunteers as a private while still in his early twenties and went on to see action in numerous battles including Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was promoted to an officer due to his reputation for bravery under fire. Ellsworth faced a major challenge when he was selected to serve as an officer of a company in one of the first regiments made up of "colored soldiers" in the Union Army, the Massachusetts 55. This regiment struggled to get the respect and support that they deserved, but went on to gain distinction for their valiant actions in battle in South Carolina. After the war, Ellsworth worked for many years as an officer of the Boston Custom House. In the 1890s, he moved to burgeoning city of Pasadena where he and his son ran a successful contracting business. He also organized Post 100 of the Grand Army of the Republic Friday July 16, 1869 in Ipswich.

HISTORY OF 55th MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY by Katherine Dhalle
Copyright 1995. LWF Publications. Posted from Lest We Forget, Volume 3 - Number 2, April, 1995.
So much has been written recently about Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. The movie "Glory" brought their story to the silver-screen and enhanced our historical and cultural awareness of the role black soldiers played in the Civil War. Yet few people know that there was a sister regiment to the 54th - - the 55th Massachusetts. Even fewer know that the 55th trained at the same camp as the 54th and like her sister regiment, went without pay for nearly 18 months. Ironically, on July 18, 1863, just hours before the 54th Massachusetts launched its historic, ill-fated charge on Fort Wagner in far-away South Carolina, the 55th was presented its regimental colors by Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew. Both regiments would experience the same bigotry at the hands of the government and their fellow soldiers, and both regiments would eventually be brigaded together and would fight and die, side by side at Honey Hill, South Carolina on November 30, 1864.
In January of 1863, after the incorporation of the Emancipation Proclamation, Governor Andrew asked for and received permission from the War Department to recruit a Negro regiment for the Union Army. Recruiting efforts began in earnest when George Stearns, a friend of the Governor's formed a string of recruiting stations across the northern states. To complete his endeavor, he enlisted the help of John Mercer Langston. Langston was so successful in his assignment that when more men that necessary showed up for enlistment, the 55th Massachusetts was formed. Everywhere Langston went, he found "colored men enthusiastic for the Union, and ready and anxious to prove their loyalty by their deeds." From Ohio alone, a total of 222 men enlisted in the 55th - - "a number almost twice as large as Pennsylvania and far greater than any other northern state."
Recruits for the 55th began arriving at Camp Meigs in Readville and they immediately moved into the barracks recently vacated by the 2nd Massachusetts Cavalry. Norwood Penrose Hallowell and Alfred Stedman Hartwell were designated Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel respectively, both having been promoted from the already-formed 54th. Charles B. Fox of the 2nd Massachusetts was promoted to Major.
On May 28th, Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts left Boston and marched into history. That same day, "the recruits of the 55th were transferred to the barracks thus vacated, and the routine of drill and discipline began" and continued until July 21st when orders were received for the 55th Massachusetts to embark for Newbern, North Carolina.
The regiment had originally been ordered to proceed to New York, but the recent Draft Riots in that city curtailed any such plans. "Owing to the excited state of the public mind, and a heavy shower, which commenced before the column reached the wharf, the comtemplated review by the Governor on the Common was omitted. The regiment marched through Boston with loaded muskets and fixed bayonets and five rounds of ball cartridges per man."
Shortly after their arrival in North Carolina, news came of the severe repulse of General Gilmore's forces at Fort Wagner and the 55th was ordered to report to Folly Island, next to Morris Island. For over six months the regiment was at work in the trenches on Morris Island, and on picket duty and fatigue duty. It was this duty that in September of 1863, led to the Confederate evacuation of Forts Wagner and Gregg as well as the construction of the "Swamp Angel" battery. On this battery was erected a 200 pounder Parrott gun which was used to shell the City of Charleston.
On September 24th, Colonel Hallowell left for the North on a 30 day furlough to receive treatment for an old wound in his arm that he had received at the Battle of Antietam. He would not return to the regiment and was obliged to resign his commission. Alfred Hartwell and Charles Fox were soon mustered in as Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel with Sigourney Wales as Major.
Ab out this time, rumors regarding the pay of the regiment's enlisted men began circulating the camp. When first organized, the 54th and 55th had been assured by both the War Department and Governor Andrew that they would "receive the same pay, rations, and clothing," as white troops.5 However, the men were offered the sum of only $10.00 per month, less $3.00 for clothing allowance. "The enlisted men refused almost unanimously to receive this offer, preferring to await a decision of the War Department, or the action of Congress, to give them their just dues."
Governor Andrew pressed the issue of a supplemental pay act and this law passed the Massachusetts Legislature on November 16th. On December 11, 1863, Major Sturges, paymaster for the state and Mr. Edward W. Kinsley, a Boston merchant arrived at the camp on Folly Island to offer the men the difference between the $10.00 a month, and the promised $13.00...but the men respectfully declined it. "They felt that their manhood was at stake. They were regarded as good enough to be killed and wounded, and to work in the trenches side by side with white soldiers, so they said they would wait until they got their dues."
In February of 1864, the regiment was ordered to Jacksonville, Florida to join an expedition under General Truman Seymour. On February 19th, six companies of the 55th were marched out approximately 13 miles in the support of Seymour's forces (the 54th among them), who on the 29th, would fight and lose the Battle of Olustee. At no time was the 55th engaged and on the 22nd, the entire regiment would return to Jacksonville and later be moved to Palatka, Florida.
From that camp on April 7th, Colonel Hartwell wrote to his old friend Edward Kinsley: "I can hardly write, talk, eat or sleep, I am so anxious and indignant that pay is not forthcoming, or official assurance of pay, for my men. Can anything be done to hasten this thing? No man staying home can imagine how great and terrible is the wrong done these men, and the distress they suffer. I do all I can to make things right, and there is a great deal to almost discourage us. The wives of the men, they say, often reduced to degradation that drives the husbands almost crazy. Leave nothing undone; my dear sir, to get us the greenbacks very soon." Upon the regiment's return to Folly Island, Colonel Hartwell attempted to gain approval to go North in an attempt to pursue the pay issue. He left for Hilton Head on April 25th but would return to camp on the 28th having failed in his endeavor.
Because of the refusal of the Government to settle the pay issue, morale within the unit was faltering. Several mutinous disturbances among the enlisted men occurred that discouraged Hartwell even further. To counter-act these problems, he proposed the commissioning of men of African descent to the grade of 2nd Lieutenant. On May 24th, 1st Sergeant John Freeman Shorter was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant by Governor Andrew but the Department Commander, General John P. Hatch refuse to accept his discharge as Sergeant and muster as Lieutenant because 'men of African descent could not be commissioned in the United States Volunteers.'
On June 5th Hartwell once again traveled to Hilton Head to gain permission to go to Washington regarding the pay issue. Armed with a letter of introduction from the Post Commander, Hartwell met with with General Foster who chose to send Colonel Edward Needles Hallowell (picture below) of the 54th Massachusetts in his place.
Further frustrated by the receipt of anonymous threatening letters from the enlisted men, Colonel Hartwell took it upon himself to pen the following letter on June 13th to the Secretary of War: "Sir: Application is respectfully made that this Regiment be mustered out of the service of the United States, for the reason that the men have not been paid according to the contract made by the Government." Shortly after, Hartwell received a reply from Major J. F. Anderson, Aide-DE-Camp of General Foster: "General Foster is in receipt of your favor of the 13th inst., and directs me to inform you that...he considers the letter to the Secretary of War as ill-timed. The General Commanding is afraid that your letters show an inclination to make trouble, or at least appears that your course is not calculated to allay the existing difficulties."11
On July 2nd, the 55th was brigaded with the 103rd New York and the 33rd U.S.C.T. and ordered to attack Fort Lamar, a large Rebel earthwork fortification on James Island, South Carolina. Although the Fort was not taken during this skirmish, (known as the Battle of River's Causeway), two brass 12-pound Napoleon guns were captured by the 55th from a Confederate artillery group that had been stationed about a mile in front of Lamar. These guns were returned to Folly Island and permission was received from the Commanding General to have them placed in front of the 55th's headquarters, where they remained for a long time as trophies.
August 22, 1864 finally brought the pay issue to a close. Word was officially received that all colored troops were to receive equal pay "from January 1, 1864, and providing for payment on the same basis, from date of enlistment, of all enlisted previous to that date who were free 'on or before April 21, 1861,' to which latter fact each man was required to make oath." The task of administering the oath fell to Lt. Colonel Fox. He wrote of his experience: "Never may I have such another three hours experience. I felt that I must not fail and I knew that no two companies could be treated alike...I had to use all the little eloquence I was master of to try to turn them from selfish thoughts of themselves...to the thousands of their brethren in the living death of slavery, until the last man raised his hand, saying with tears and bred a freeman to submit to such a humiliation."13 In the end, only a few men refused to take the oath, more out of stubbornness that principle and only two or three acknowledged having been slaves.
For the regiment, October 7th turned out to be a banner day, the day they were all finally paid off. The process took three days to complete and when it was finally completed the men had sent home to their families the amount of over $60,000. As well, "it is not known that in a single case any man present with the regiment failed to repay his debts."
On October 18th Colonel Hartwell left for the North on a 30 day furlough. During his absence, the regiment continued at Folly Island until November 23rd, when instructions were received from General Hatch to be ready to move at a moment's notice. The expected expedition was to be the destruction of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad and then an advance on the village of Grahamville which would leave Savannah and Charleston vulnerable. When the regiment arrived at Hilton Head on November 28th, Colonel Hartwell was there to meet them. He had been appointed to command a brigade consisting of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts as well as the 102nd and 26th U.S.C.T.
The Battle of Honey Hill, South Carolina, took place on November 30, 1864. In Hartwell's words: "We landed at Boyd's Neck, and at daylight next morning started for the railroad. After Marching a few miles and encountering slight opposition from the enemy, we came upon them, heavily entrenched behind an earthwork, and a battery of field pieces." Hartwell continues: "The leading brigade had been driven back, when I was ordered in with a portion of my brigade; and I was also knocked out. I was hit first in the hand just before making a charge, then my horse was killed under me, and I was hit afterwards several times while they were taking me to the rear. One of my aides, Captain Crane, was killed, and another, Lieutenant Hill was blown from his horse by a concussion of a shell and taken to the rear." During the furious fight, the Color-bearer was shot and killed and it was Private Andrew Jackson Smith (later promoted to Color- Sergeant), who would retrieve and save both the State and Federal flags.

De spite the fact that the expedition and its goal was unattained, Savannah would be taken by Sherman in December. The coastal railroad would survive less than two months, Grahamville would burn, and Charleston would fall. To the men of the 55th, "this engagement gave the opportunity which the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts had at Fort Wagner, of proving that a black regiment, well disciplined and well officered, could behave as gallantly under fire as the best troops in the service."
While Colonel Hartwell was recuperating from his wounds, the 55th stayed encamped at Boyd's Landing until January 11, 1865, when the men were ordered to board steamers and head for Fort Thunderbolt near Savannah. During his convalescence, Hartwell had been Breveted a Brigadier General for his bravery at Honey Hill. Now, on the 30th of January, the regiment was pleasantly surprised at his arrival at the camp.
February 10th would find Hartwell and the 55th involved in yet another attack on James Island. Known as the Battle of Grimball's Causeway or the Last Fight for Charleston, each side would retreat after the brief skirmish with no sufficient gains made.
On February 18th, news was received that Confederate General Hardee had evacuated Charleston. The 55th was ordered to bring up the rear of the advancing Union troops on their way to occupy this seat of secession. Along the way, the regiment was ordered to forage for cattle and to supervise the large numbers of contrabands who joined in the march. "After a few days upon Sullivan's Island, we were transferred to Charleston. We landed just before sunset and I [Hartwell] had the pleasure of marching through Charleston with a brigade at the head of which was the Negro regiment, the 55th Massachusetts."
In the latter part of February, and all of March and April, the regiment was involved in Expeditions into the interior of South Carolina to ascertain the number of enemy forces that might still be in the area. During this time, the 55th was ordered to rebuild several bridges over the Santee and Biggin Creeks. Two companies of the regiment participated in the rescue of four members of the 54th New York who had been captured by rebel cavalry at Moncks Corner, South Carolina. As well, the entire regiment would be placed on call as a reserve unit to back up General Potter's movements within the interior and they would also return to James Island. Since the Confederates had recently evacuated the area, the 55th Massachusetts was responsible to visit, garrison, and dismantle all the rebel guns at the line of batteries on the island.
O n May 1, 1865, Hartwell was placed in command of a brigade consisting of the 25th Ohio, 55th Massachusetts, 102nd U.S.C.T., and a section of Battery B of the 3rd New York Artillery. This brigade was ordered to Orangeburg, South Carolina, and would be a part of the Northern District, Department of the South. Their assignments consisted of provost duties, giving the oath of allegiance to civilians and paroled southern soldiers, and setting up a Commission on Labor to ensure that ex-masters and freedmen entered into equitable contracts for work and remuneration.
2nd Lieut. William H. Dupree, 1865 Of The Renowned 55th Massachusetts Dupree was one of the three fully commissioned black officers of the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. The chaplain of the famous regiment called Dupree and his two fellow black officers, "Three as worthy men as ever carried a gun." They were promoted from the ranks in 1864 but the army refused to muster them in as officers until the end of the war.
While all of this was going on, the contracts between the black soldiers and the government was still unsettled for those Sergeants who had been commissioned but not mustered as 2nd Lieutenants. But things were to change, for on the 22nd and 28th of June, Sergeants John F. Shorter, William Dupree and James M. Trotter were finally mustered into the regiments as 2nd Lieutenants. However, despite this bit of goodness, Trotter wrote: "There in much feeling in the Regiment among the officers against these promotions of colored men in Regiments with white officers; but all the best officers are in favor of it...Some talk of resigning on account of these promotions. I cannot say that they will do so...I do not know how it will all turn out, but Dupree and I will try to do our duty as officers let prejudice be as great as it may."
On the same day, Hartwell penned the following to Governor Andrew: "The colored Sergeants are mustered. The result is now uncertain...I propose to await the resignation of officers who have declaimed against this action of the government, and then if I find their influence not for the best and that the policy of having colored officers is not to be adopted by the government, I shall recommend them to resign for their own good and the good of the regiment."
Fortunately, General Hartwell never had to ask for the resignation of these black officers and the regiment was mustered out of service August 29, 1865. The war that had taken so many lives had also seen fit to form many survivors into the leaders of a new, reunited country. Despite frustrations, disappointments, obstacles, and restrictions, the men of the 55th bore their military office well. Instead of retreating in the face of adversity, whether it be the enemy, their fellow officers, or their own government, they continued in their quest to promote freedom and preserve the Union at all costs. For this they deserve our unending respect and admiration. As well, the brave men of the regiment, both black and white, who fought side by side, and lived through the inequities of a discriminatory government, deserve to be remembered as the heroes they are. Nothing less would be acceptable.

Ravens to open camp on new field
By Gina Davis
Making his way along a mulch-covered walkway yesterday at McDaniel College's Bair Stadium, Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick wore a smile.
Today, his players will begin their ninth training camp at the college. But this year, they'll practice on a new synthetic turf surface that was installed this summer on the main athletic field as part of a six-year contract between the college and the football team.
"We're thrilled about the new field. It's not only good for the Ravens, but it will also serve the college's purposes," Billick said after a quick stroll on the field.
Billick said he is glad the team and the college were able to work together on replacing the field. The team and the college shared the cost of installing the new turf, matching it to the surface used at M&T; Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
"I've always felt a little guilty about coming and beating up their field," Billick said.
Like a new pair of shoes, the field needed a little breaking in. To help with that, the college had many of its summer campers walk the field to help compact the surface.
"We've had several of the camps play on the field - soccer and field hockey camps, as well as the kicking camp" for high school and college students, said Mary Jo Colbert, director of conference and auxiliary services for the college.
A day before the three-week training camp was scheduled to begin, workers put on the finishing touches and curious fans showed up on campus for a peek.
"It's a beehive of activity. You see the concessionaires getting everything washed down, displaying their products. Boscov's putting up their shelves, making sure their cash registers are working. Sign people and display people installing things. White picket fences going up to show walk areas," Colbert said.
Among those setting up shop was Joseph Gwiazdowski, store manager for Boscov's, a department store chain that operates the official Ravens training camp store.
"We're anxious for the champs to come back to town. ... The fans are very receptive and seem to appreciate the assortment we offer," said Gwiazdowski, who works at the store in TownMall of Westminster. Boscov's is in its second year with the training camp.
"We found that a large number of women attend training camp, close to 50 percent of all visitors are women. So we have lots of women's apparel - the women asked for it," he said.
There's even a gift offer through Clinique, a makeup and perfume brand, for training camp shoppers, Gwiazdowski said.
Finding a football won't be hard either.
"We have over 160 running feet of footballs - ranging from $14.99 to $100," Gwiazdowski said. Some of them even cheer like a fan or squawk like a raven.
For the Ray Lewis fan, there is a "game day" Lewis jersey, which will sell for $300. Replica jerseys for other players will be sold, but for decidedly less money.
Most agreed that the best parts of training camp are free.
Fans will be able to meet the team and get autographs from players after morning and afternoon practices, which start today and end Aug. 24.
This year's camp also features "Ravenstown," an obstacle course-type area on the college's two tennis courts, where visitors can try throwing a football through a target or kicking a football through the uprights, among other activities.
There is also the "Gatorade Junior Training Camp," where youngsters can experience training camp drills. One of them is the "quarterback challenge," which requires children to circle cones and then jump over two dummies before throwing the ball at a target.
"Fans of all ages come over to test their skills," said Scott Westcoat, director of fun for ASG Sports, a sports marketing and event company that operates the events.
"We follow the same schedule as the training camp. While the adults are watching the athletes, the children can come over here" to the Ravenstown play area, Westcoat said.
"There's something for everybody. ... I'll be bringing my own children up here," said Westcoat, who has a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old. "The players' kids come, too."
Training camp is "a good opportunity to get geared up for the season. Everyone gets to get up-close to the players," he said.
The Ravens will report for their first practice today at 8:45 a.m. An afternoon session is set for 4 p.m.
"Everyone is excited about having the Ravens here. ... It's neat to have an NFL team training in your back yard," Colbert said.

The charter is San Francisco's constitution. The first city charter was adopted in 1898, creating a "strong mayor" form of government. Reformers in the 1920s succeeded in voter adoption of a new charter in 1932, establishing a chief administrative officer to direct most of the city's departments. Under this charter, power was diffused throughtout the city. Over time, numerous incremental charter changes made governing arrangements more complex.
Charter revision was attempted several times--including three failed attempts--but resulted in little change. Mayor John Shelley initiated charter reform in 1967, establishing the San Francisco Citizens Charter Revision Committee. This fourth committee made recommentations that appeared on the November 1969 ballot as Proposition E; the measure was defeated.
A reconstituted committee then rearranged charter sections more logically with no substantive changes. This recodification, Proposition R, passed in November 1971 by a two-to-one margin. Following this, Mayor Joseph Alioto charged the committee to study recommendations of the Crime Commission, Blyth-Zellerbach management committee, and other blue-ribbon committees. A committee member noted that 150 pages of the 225-page charter were concerned with City employees' rights and obligations. A final report was produced in June of 1972, and the committee was dissolved the following spring.
This collection documents the work of the San Francisco Citizens Charter Revision Committee, which met from to 1968 to 1972 and submitted Proposition E, which failed (on Nov. 4 1969), and Proposition R, which passed (on Nov. 2, 1971). Materials include charter history, drafts and final text, reports, minutes, memoranda, research materials, and newspaper clippings.

Meringues may look fancy AF, but they're actually super easy to make—so long as you keep beating the egg white-sugar mixture until you get stiff and glossy peaks.
If making eeni mini meringues, pipe 60 small rounds of meringue evenly onto your baking trays. Place the trays in the oven for 20 minutes. Place the trays in the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven for a further 40 minutes.... Whisk the meringue frosting until stiff peaks forms and has a glossy look.

Q: add esc sequence with sed ( \033[K) I want to add an escape (tty control) at the end of each line.
sed '/s/$/foo/g' appends foo to the end of the line.
I want to append esc[K to the end of line (erase to end of line)
I've tried
sed 's/$/\033[K/g'
sed 's/$/\\033[K/g'
sed 's/$/\e[K/g'
sed 's/$/\\e[K/g'

Neither produces an escape-character, just prints what I enter.
How can I get an escape-character  in sed?

A: Try an escaped string
sed $'s/$/\033[K/g'

The $'…' tells the shell to handle escapes inside what is otherwise a literal single-quoted string
A better approach could be to append the Clear to EOL only if you're writing to a terminal:
test -t 1 && el=$(tput el)
…
sed 's/$/'"$el/"

Notice I switch quoting styles part way through - this helps the $ remain as a literal while allowing $el to be expanded to its value (if any). We could also have used "s/\$/$el/"

Kodaline are Stephen Garrigan, Vinnie May Jr, Jason Boland and Mark Prendergast, boys who are in their early twenties and probably could perhaps do with being a little more mature, to make them less 'moon'. That is to say, to demonstrate a more refined approach to women, as opposed to their literal school-boy 'moons' whenever a female hottie appears. It's endearing, if anything.
But what the craic really is with Kodaline is they're actually a pretty decent indie band with some really lovely songs. It can't be denied that on first hearing you might recall Coldplay, Mumford and Sons or any respectable indie band of the moment. Yet what this band can offer you is honesty and, yes, a loud heart-felt burst of guitar, piano and honest songs about break ups, it seems.
Despite their occasionally adolescent vibes they have been together as a band since 2005 when they were called 21 Demands, only later changing their name to Kodaline in 2011. It's easy to be critical of these guys - their similarity to other bands and so on - but we can't help but love this new track of theirs Love Like This. Guaranteed they'll be playing at all the big festivals come this time next year, for after all, they've got the charm and vivacity to win us all over.
Catch these guys play live next at The Great Escape festival in Brighton and pre-order Kodaline's forthcoming album In A Perfect World here.

The content in the book is very comprehensive.
It meets the needs of several of our diploma-level business communications courses and could also meet the needs of our degree-level business communications courses.
A lot of the content will also be suitable for our diploma-level and degree-level technical communications courses.
Several chapters may be useful resources to our degree-level sociology or psychology courses.
There is no Table of Contents, Table of Illustrations, or Index. All of which would be useful additions.
Accuracy of the content is excellent. Supplemental materials take the form of takeaway statements, exercises, and end-of-unit references.
Content is current and relevant.
New software for report generation or presentations may mean that some chapters require small updates at some point in the future.
The text is written in a straightforward manner.
I particularly appreciate how the content of each chapter is "chunked" into small, manageable pieces.
Very clear. Relevant. To the point. The writing is very accessible. While the book is written for diploma- and degree-level students, the writing itself is not heavily academic.
Consistent writing and editing voice.
There is consistency in terminology.
If by framework you mean the flow of the writing and the organization of the formatting, then both are excellent. The layout of the chapters/units within chapters is logical and it makes navigation very easy.
The chapters are broken up into manageable "chunks" so that students are not overwhelmed with large chunks of academic text.
Because the content is broken into smaller units, it would be very easy for an instructor/professor to assign reading material. It's also these smaller chunks/units that make the book so flexible, accessible, and manageable for students (even reluctant students) because some chapters or units within those chapters would be supplemental reading material in courses other than business communications courses.
It's going to be very easy to select chapters and units within chapters as reading material in several different courses.
They topics in the book are presented in a logical, clear fashion.
There's a logical flow from one topic to the next. There's also a logical flow from one unit in a chapter to the next.
There's organization consistency (which supports the logical flow of content) in each chapter and each unit within the chapter. Each chapter has one or more quotes relevant to the content, introductory exercises, content, learning objectives, key takeaways (which function as a unit summary), and suggested exercises.
The unit exercises are relevant and interesting. They provide students and instructor/professor with ideas and options. Most of the unit exercises will work (or can be adapted) for both on-campus students and distance students.
I didn't notice any interface issues or navigation problems. Images displayed just fine.
The only distraction I noted was on page 253 where the e-mail example appears to overlay some of the chapter text.
I assume that the book can be read by an e-reader for those students with vision limitations/challenges and that it will display well on mobile devices. I will be following up with my institution's multi-media team and Accessibility committee to ensure that we are not disadvantaging some students.
I was not aware of any grammatical or spelling errors. The following images will need citations, though: Fig 14.1, 14.3, 14.5, and 16.2.
The author was aware of and respectful of inclusion and diversity. The author used he/she in most instances and occasionally "they" as a singular pronoun. Several chapters included content that made students think beyond their own culture. One whole chapter is devoted to doing business in other cultures. Many of the photos are U.S. based and some coud be changed. While there are some photos with non-caucasion participants, many could be changed to include a more diverse group including indigenous students and those with obvious physical disabilities.
I would recommend this book. In fact, I have recommended it to several colleagues for several of our business communications courses as a starting point.
This text covers many areas and ideas relevant to business communication. The index is complete and easy to navigate. However, I felt that some of the areas were not covered in enough detail, with enough examples, or with enough practice. For this reason, I think this textbook is suitable for students past first and second year levels of study.
I found no errors in the content and found it to be unbiased, with the exception of intercultural communication. My comments are included in the response to Question 10.
I found the content up-to-date and the assignments reflective of the digital world of students. Updates would be easy to make as technologies that are mentioned sunset, making way for new technologies to be referred to. The short chapters with short sections make it easy to make such changes; there is no one section that is so large or at risk of being dated that I have concerns.
I found the prose accessible and pleasant. I felt there could have been more description and examples used throughout the text, especially for some of the more technical aspects (such as the fundamentals of revision) and philosophical aspects (such as intrapersonal communication and intercultural communication).
The textbook is incredibly consistent in both terminology and framework, making it easy to read and navigate. As an instructor, it is clear how the textbook has been organized and why. It is also clear how the textbook has been created, with three foundational chapters and an array of additional chapters from which an instructor can "mix and match" to best suit the needs of the program and students.
As mentioned in my previous comment, this is one of the major strengths of this textbook. As an experienced instructor who has taught Business Communications courses many times and at a handful of institutions, I can easily imagine which sections I would draw on after teaching the first three chapters. I also really liked that the "additional" chapters (those that come after the first three) are not just a smattering of different aspects of business communication, but go deeply into these different aspects. It would be easy to tailor a course to focus heavily on writing, with a little bit on presentations, or to focus heavily on the spoken word. Rounding out this ability for the instructor to balance writing and speaking are some true gems on effective group work, meetings, and leadership.
Most of the topics are presented clearly, with accessible descriptions and a few examples. However, I think the text would be strengthened with more examples, more scaffolding for some of the activities, and more opportunities to practice the content - although that might be seen to be the work on the instructor, to interpret the text for the students. The more abstruse topics of intrapersonal communication and some of the points raised in the section on intercultural communication could be brought more into students' daily lives through the text, not just in the exercises.
I encountered absolutely no issues with the interface of this text. I used the online version on my tablet and found the text easy to navigate and read. The images were helpful and provided some clarity to concepts presented in the text.
The text has no insensitive or offensive language. The photos represent a diversity of people. However, I felt that the textbook often (but not always) assumed homogeneity in the classroom. For example, in chapter 1.4, there could have been mention of high context/low context cultures, which would likely have been represented in the classroom by students, who would likely hail from different co-cultures. Also absent was explanation of how to interpret the impact of culture on written texts. Third, I thought the chapter on intercultural communication was interesting, but not applied to students' daily life, which kept it abstruse and philosophical, instead of tangible and practical. Intercultural communication can be a separate chapter, but should also be woven throughout the textbook to help students navigate the various and ongoing impacts of cultural differences on both written and spoken business communication.
This textbook would benefit from more examples, more practice opportunities, and more scaffolding to some of the more challenging ideas and skill sets. For example, the sections on plagiarism and incorporating the ideas of others should include more examples of incorrect and correct paraphrases, quotations, and summaries. This is often a challenging learning goal for students, which means they need to see more examples and have more practice. As it stands, the text seems to focus more on the ethics of plagiarism instead of the more common accidental plagiarism that reflects a growing, but incomplete, writing skill set. That said, as an experienced instructor who has taught many, many sections of Business Communications, I would use this text because it is easy to pick and choose from and I can imagine how to build on each section. But for a new instructor, this textbook may not be the easiest starting point for the first time teaching Business Communication.

Chelsea Target Reportedly Set To Have Release Clause Increased To £178m
Chelsea target Lorenzo Insigne could have his release clause increased to €200m (£178m) now he has switched agents, according to reports in Italy.
The Napoli winger was a player Maurizio Sarri was looking to sign in the summer, along with teammate Jorginho, but the Serie A club's owner Aurelio De Laurentiis refused to sanction the move.
Since then, Insigne has moved agents to Mino Raiola, and while this may suggest that a move away from the Partenopei has become more likely, it has been suggested that it could lead to the 27-year-old signing a contract on better terms.
Earlier this month, De Laurentiis actually confirmed there was a verbal agreement between Raiola and himself about the size of the new buyout clause:
"He has a symbolic release clause, Raiola and I have decided that if we get a €200m bid we'll sell him. It's not a written agreement, but a verbal one. €200m, is that clear?"
However, up until this point, it hasn't been set in stone as Raiola wasn't officially his agent. That may change with the Italian-born Dutchman now being his sole representative.

The safety of fluoridation for caries prevention is being defended in a recent commentary that claims that the meta-analysis of 27 studies had been "severely criticized", although this critique is not further explained. As evidence of safety, the authors refer to a New Zealand study that "found that fluoridation is not neurotoxic for either children or adults, and does not have a negative effect on IQ". This interpretation is rather optimistic, as the statistical confidence limits suggest that a loss of 2-3 IQ points could not be excluded by their findings.
Dr. Grandjean is being conservative.
Dental fluorosis, the visible sign of fluoride toxicity during formative childhood years claimed by dentists to be only a "cosmetic" concern, also has a racial component. According to the CDC, it affects 36% of white and 58% of black children. Also, the most severe forms of dental fluorosis are mostly seen in non-white populations, Blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics. That's why Civil Rights leaders oppose community water fluoridation.
BTW: Severity of dental fluorosis also correlates with increase bone fracture rates. Per Heller et al. in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry (1997), very mild fluorosis almost triples non-traumatic bone fracture rates and severe fluorosis (almost exclusively seen in non-white and poor children) increases fractures by nine times.
The citizens of the U.S and other Fluoridated countries should not be forced to drink Fluoride. This should be an individual choice, just like taking Vitamin C or any other supplement/vitamin or mineral. Fluoride is BIG Business and they care only about their bottom line, not the safety and health of the people. We all need to wake up and protest against this insanity. Call your local Water Engineer and ask them how much Fluoride they add to your water?
Keep up the good work! It is astounding that the dental community continues to think that fluoride, a known neurotoxin, only impacts teeth. Just last night, a DMD testified to the Gloucester City Council that there are no "peer reviewed" studies documenting that any harm occurs, that fluoride does not pass the placental barrier, and that dental fluorosis is only a minor issue only detectable by dentists. All patently false and all refuted by this excellent, if horrifying, study.

The protesters started marching from Lalue and attempted to walk toward the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH). However, security guards stopped them from advancing.

The American dollar will be the death of all Haitians, when will we wake up? Stop devaluing the Gourd, stop dependent on foreign governments, when will Haiti stand on her two feet's? For once obey the decree of land. Haitians mindset is stuck in 1804, they still waiting for Desaline to meticulously waken from the grave to deliver them. No I got
No business in Haiti, I live there for 10 years, I was born in Haiti and I lived the tough times.
The American dollar will always be the death of all Haitians because they refused to touch the problem. In order to stop depending on foreign governments Haitian people should stand for what's needed to be done. Reinforcing the GNP by stopping stealing revenue from their institutions. BRH is one of the most corrupt institution responsible for all wrongdoings there. Developing their agriculture to reduce import of certain products Haiti can produce, for instance, corn, rice, eggs, tomatoes, to name a few. Haitians ignored their potentials, they always after foreign governments for help instead using their own potentials. Therefore, if their mentality is not changed, they will need 150 gourdes for one (1) american dollars very soon. We do not need the Emperor waken from his grave to deliver us again because he already trace the way for us.

What police can do if you don't wear a mask in a supermarket
There are concerns disabled people could "bear the brunt" of any crackdown
Conor GogartyChief reporter
Sainsbury's, Winterstoke Road, Bristol
FIND OUT WHAT'S ON NEAR YOU WITH OUR NEWSLETTER
The crackdown on shoppers not wearing masks has sparked tension between the Government, police and disability charities.
In recent days Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and Waitrose have said they will deny entry to customers who do not wear masks, unless they are medically exempt. Sainsbury's has said it will challenge those who flout the rules.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has welcomed the move, saying: "That's the right approach, and I want to see all parts of society playing their part in this. Stronger enforcement is necessary, and I'm delighted that the police are stepping up their enforcement."
But the tougher stance has raised questions over what can actually be done to enforce use of masks, who has responsibility for enforcement and whether exempt shoppers need to show medical evidence.
Here are all the key points, including the approach police are taking in Bristol.
Can police fine you for not wearing a mask in a shop?
Government coronavirus guidance says stores should take "reasonable steps" to promote compliance with the law on masks, which applies unless you have a medical exemption.
If that fails, then police can take action. The Government says police powers include issuing £200 fines for a first offence – reduced to £100 if paid within two weeks.
After the first offence there is no discount. A second fine amounts to £400 and a third £800, and so on up to a maximum of £6,400.
The Guardian says it understands Morrisons "is prepared to call in police as a last resort if customers do not comply".
How do police know if you have an exemption?
This is where it gets tricky for authorities – shoppers do not need to carry any proof of their exemption when they are in a store without a mask.
Government guidance says: "If you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering, you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this and you do not need show an exemption card.
"This means that you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering.
"However, some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign.

"Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and is not required by law."
There are no checks in place when it comes to downloading an exemption card template from the Government website. The authorities are, in effect, trusting people to be honest.
This leaves police in a difficult position, because shoppers not wearing masks are under no obligation to show evidence that they have an exemption.
The guidance suggests the only realistic basis for police to issue a fine is if the customer admits they have no exemption and refuses to leave.
How are Avon and Somerset police approaching the issue?
An Avon and Somerset police spokesman did not rule out officers attending stores to enforce use of masks.
But he also pointed us towards a statement from the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC): "Enforcement doesn't and shouldn't always equal police involvement or the issuance of a fixed penalty notice. Individuals, businesses and a range of agencies all have a responsibility to ensure the virus is suppressed."
The force also cited a comment made by NPCC chairman Martin Hewitt on Tuesday: "Workplaces are ultimately the responsibility of any business owner in that space – primarily our space is the public space."
We asked Avon and Somerset police if officers could attend a store and issue a £200 fine.
The Avon and Somerset police spokesman added: "Police attendance is always based on the threat, harm and risk posed, Covid or otherwise.
"Any attendance for a breach of the Covid regulations would follow the 4Es approach – engage, explain, encourage and ultimately enforce where necessary."
The NPCC says it is clear there is no legal basis to demand proof for exemption, though officers will have conversations to establish the facts.
Concerns from disability groups
Human rights campaigners fear disabled people could "bear the brunt" of any crackdown.
PA reports there are concerns over some police officers across the country "wrongly claiming" people with disabilities must carry paperwork to prove their exemption.
Big Brother Watch, Disability Rights UK, Mencap, the Royal National Institute for Deaf People and the Survivors Trust have called forclarity on legal exemptions.
They have written to the NPCC: "We are concerned that those who are unable to wear face coverings will be disproportionately impacted by the increased emphasis on enforcement of the regulations.
"We are alarmed by ongoing reports of police officers wrongly claiming that people with disabilities must carry paperwork and show proof on request that they are exempt from the requirement to wear a face covering.
"This has no basis in law and risks discriminating against those with disabilities.
"Regulations on face coverings have been in force for six months and as such police should be clear on how they should be lawfully upheld.
"As long as this widespread confusion among police continues, we are concerned that people with disabilities will risk facing harassment, intimidation and unlawful fixed penalty notices."
The NPCC has responded by saying police have "clear guidance" on the exemptions to face coverings rules.
Are 24 hours vaccinations the way forward? Story continues below.
"Officers will have conversations with people to understand if they are exempt," said an NPCC spokeswoman.
"Whilst officers will be inquisitive to establish the facts, we are clear that there is no requirement to provide medical proof of an exemption."
Concerns from police
The Guardian has reported concerns from senior police figures over Mr Hancock's comment about officers "stepping up their enforcement".
Asked about enforcement of masks in stores, one police leader told the newspaper "we won't be doing that".
They added: "Do people really want the police telling you, 'That's not above your nose?'
"There are no extra officers. Everything else [crime] is still happening. Where is the greater risk: do you put two people in a supermarket not wearing masks before a woman suffering domestic violence?
"You need clearer, consistent messaging, not new rules and more enforcement."
Another senior police source told the Guardian: "The government wants to see more enforcement but that will not regulate behaviour.
"There is no way the 40,000 officers you can deploy can enforce regulations on 65 million people if they do not want to follow."
