Saint Helier, Jersey
The capital of Jersey, Saint Helier is a charming town with a vibrant foodie and shopping scene, and an ideal location from which to base your tour of Jersey and the Channel Islands. Odyssey includes a tour of St Helier in its small group tours to the Channel islands.
The town was named after Hellerius, or Saint Helier, a 6th century ascetic hermit. Hellerius's pagan parents sought out St. Cunibert because they had struggled to conceive a child. Cunibert advised them to pray to God, and when they had a child, to hand him over to God, so he (Cunibert) could raise them in the Christian faith. However, after Hellerius's birth, his father, the Saxon governor, came to resent the influence that Cunibert had over his son and killed Cunibert. Hellerius fled his parents, wandering what is now Normandy, joining monastic orders, but found nowhere that could provide the quiet he wanted for Christian contemplation.
Finally, he answered a call from the few inhabitants of Jersey (then known as Gersut or Agna) to protect them from – depending on who tells the tale – Vikings or Saxons, and bring them the gospel. In Jersey, Hellerius settled on a tidal island – now known as the Hermitage Rock – near today's Saint Helier, where he watched for invaders and (according to legend) starved himself for 13 years. Helier was eventually martyred by pirates, who beheaded him with an axe. Today, believers make a pilgrimage to the island every 16 July, while Saint Helier is recognised as the patron saint of Jersey.
Elizabeth Castle in low tide, St Helier.
An Abbey of St Helier was founded on a tidal island adjacent to the Hermitage in 1155. Closed during the English Reformation, the site of the abbey became the island's major fortress, Elizabeth Castle, established by the then-Governor of Jersey, Sir Walter Raleigh.
Elizabeth Castle remained in use as a fortress until 1923, when it was opened to the public as a museum. It was soon put into military use once again when Jersey was occupied by Germany during World War Two. The Nazis modernised the castle, and used Eastern European slave labour to rebuild its fortifications. Today the castle is again open to the public as a museum, as well as the Jersey war tunnels. The castle is accessible by foot at low tide and by boat at high water.
Until the end of the 18th century, Saint Helier was only a small village. King George II gave 200 pounds to build a Saint Helier harbour, bringing greater prosperity and population growth to the town, while Saint Helier grew further in the 19th century with an influx of English residents. Reflecting its rapid growth during this period, the town today has a mostly Regency and Victorian Old Town, easily explored on foot. To explore this history head to the Georgian house at 16 New Street, now renovated and open to the public as a museum.
Today, over 33,500 people live in Saint Helier making it the biggest settlement in the Channel Islands. Though the port and city can get busy, the charming historic centre makes a tour of St Helier easy to walk around and always full of life. Sights of interest on a tour of St Helier include the Jersey Museum and Art Gallery, located in a restored 19th century merchant's house, and the Jersey Maritime Museum and Occupation Tapestry Gallery. The Maritime Museum brings to life Jersey's long connection to the sea, while the occupation tapestries are a moving reminder of the island's sacrifice under Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1945.

In recent years, St. Helier has emerged as something of a foodie hub. The city is home to two Michelin-starred restaurants as well as plenty of more affordable locations that offer menus based on local and seasonal produce.

Childcare system leaves parents broke and angry
Childcare issues keep women from work (Pic: Lars Plougmann/Flickr)
https://socialistworker.co.uk/art/52720/Childcare+system+leaves+parents+broke+and+angry
Walthamstow's Labour MP, Stella Creasy was told she was breaking the parliamentary rules after bringing her three month old child into the House of Commons last week.
She's not he only one having childcare troubles.
The unavailability and rising cost of childcare for working parents hits poorer parents—and especially women—hardest.
Jesska is a parent in Staffordshire, who was forced to leave her job during the pandemic in order to care for her child.
Now she is finding it difficult to find a job that pays enough and is flexible.
She told Socialist Worker, "Childcare isn't even considered by companies—I've applied for jobs that don't allow me to pick up my son from school.
"It is an absolute miracle if you find a workplace that has an in-house nursery."
Many women are forced into second jobs to pay for childcare, or to leave work altogether because they cannot afford the fees.
That women are made to feel responsible for navigating the crisis reflects the idea that women's main role in society is that of a "caregiver".
And, the low paid but more flexible jobs that many women have to take are in turn used to suggest that women's work is secondary. It is a way of holding down all women's wages.
"I just couldn't work during most of the pandemic," said Jesska. "Working in distribution cannot be done from home, I was considered a key worker. It wasn't fair to leave my child with my mother—who's vulnerable—or to send my child into a nursery with kids getting Covid.
"It got to the point where I was doing the maths and with childcare costs taken from my wage, I wouldn't be much worse off leaving the job and signing on. Jesska and her child rely on both support from her parents and child benefit but, "I only get like, £20 from them," she said.
The government claims to do enough to provide adequate childcare funding.
One initiative is 30 hours of free care each week during term time for three and four year olds. But campaigners argue the government doesn't fund these places adequately.
With the Tories relying on private companies to provide care, firms reclaim money from charging under threes more.
When asked about the impact of the rising cost of living Jesska described it as "just upsetting".
"It's definitely ruining my mental health, it also has an impact on my son that I worry about."
Women are most affected by the lack of childcare.
In a survey of 20,000 working parents, 16 percent of women said childcare hadn't affected their income or seniority at work, compared to 42 percent of men. This is beneficial to the bosses, keeping a mother at home with the children, while a male partner is able to work long hours.
Creasy and Jesska are right, parents aren't heard and we must start demanding change and public ownership of childcare services.
Women, the family and the coronavirus crisis
Childcare prices soaring
A third of childcare providers in Northern Ireland are planning to put up prices as they suffer inflating costs.
The research, conducted by Employers For Childcare found that a significant number of childcare providers were experiencing a "distressed" financial situation.
This expands further than just Northern Ireland.
Many childcare providers are facing closure and with government funding low, the responsibility for payment falls onto the parents.
Some 28 percent of families said they are struggling to find and afford suitable childcare.
Covid exposed the childcare crisis on a huge scale. More parents and carers are returning to work, with no furlough or additional childcare services to support them.
This doesn't just hit parents and children. Many childcare workers—95 percent of them women—suffer poverty wages.
The survey suggests that many providers say they won't be able to afford the minimum wage increase. To defend their profits they will make job cuts.
As we reach a new phase of the Covid pandemic the government must adequately fund childcare so parents have the choice to return to work or not.
Teaching assistant says, 'My entire wage goes to childcare'
Fifty hours of childcare each week for a child under two in nursery will set you back £13,700 on average according to Coram, a childcare charity.
The cost rose by around 4.5 percent in the year starting April 2019. Wages rose just 3.6 percent according to the Office for National Statistics.
The situation is forcing parents, usually mothers, to leave work and provide childcare themselves to keep costs down.
Sarah is a parent and teaching assistant in Shropshire. When two of her children were in nursery her "entire wage went on childcare," she told Socialist Worker.
"I changed my job because my previous job, in admin, meant I couldn't pick up my children from school and nursery—the commute was just too long.
"I got a job in a local school, doing the same thing, to fit in with school times and holidays.
"I didn't want to pay for childcare for three children across the holidays.
"It would have been a nightmare, I wouldn't have had any money," she added.
Sarah outlined some of the pressures mothers face in work and when trying to access childcare, "It's always been too expensive," she said.
"When I started the job, I got pregnant and had been there just long enough—to the day—to be entitled to maternity pay.
"One of the worst things was that over the school holidays I still had to pay for childcare, despite not sending my children there."
A parent earning the average salary of £25,057 would pay 54 percent of their wage on childcare for an under two year old child.
With rent, additional children and other essential costs, the system is unsustainable.

Living healthier and trying new things are two common New Year's resolutions, and several breweries across the state offer the opportunity to meet both goals at once. Sour beer lovers
Four North Carolina Breweries Producing Kombucha
These breweries are tapping into the growing kombucha trend by offering the fermented tea alongside their traditional craft beers.
by Ethan Butler
Living healthier and trying new things are two common New Year's resolutions, and several breweries across the state offer the opportunity to meet both goals at once.
Sour beer lovers will find familiar flavors in kombucha, an effervescent, tart, non-alcoholic drink made from fermented black and green tea.
For 2,000 years, people have drunk kombucha for its healing properties. "It's low in sugar and caffeine, and offers clean natural energy packed with beneficial yeasts and bacteria," says Carly Erickson, proprietor of Boro Beverage in Cary.
If you're curious about kombucha, plan a visit to one of these four breweries that are tapping kombucha alongside their craft beers.
Lenny Boy Brewing Company
Charlotte's Lenny Boy Brewing Company has been fermenting kombucha longer than they've been brewing beer. The South End brewery became the Southeast's first certified organic kombucha brewery in January 2013. In September of the same year, Lenny Boy became licensed as a microbrewery — becoming the only certified organic brewery in North Carolina.
Today, the brewery offers seven kombuchas year-round, including Lost Rose, made with rose petal and lemongrass, and Lavenderade, made with lavender and lemon, as well as seasonal flavors, like sweet potato pie.
Lenny Boy's kombuchas are sold by the bottle, crowler, growler, and keg in the brewery's taproom, and in stores across North Carolina and along the East Coast.
3000 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28217
Southern Peak Brewery
Apex's Southern Peak Brewery creates small-batch kombuchas from local fruits and homegrown herbs. Past releases have included a pineapple-kiwi-mango-ginger flavor and a batch featuring North Carolina muscadines. Call ahead or visit the brewery's Facebook page to check availability, as the kombuchas often sell out within days of each batch's release.
For those interested in the science of kombucha brewing, Southern Peak is hosting two home brewing classes in January with in-house kombucha specialist Sarah Michalski.
950 Windy Road, Suite 100, Apex, NC 27502
Steel String Brewery/Boro Beverage
Carly Erickson has been the manager of Steel String Brewery's taproom since the brewery opened in Carrboro in 2011. Erickson is also the proprietor of Boro Beverage, a company producing kombucha, switchel, and shrubs. Steel String carries Boro Beverage's kombuchas on draft or in growlers, including small-batch releases like Bloody Mary kombucha.
Recently, Erickson launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the conversion of a 1968 Shasta camper into a mobile unit to serve farmers markets, food truck rodeos, and more. Boro Beverage products can currently be found across the Triangle, including at Grey Squirrel Coffee Co. and Johnny's Gone Fishing in Carboro and Guglhupf in Durham.
106 South Greensboro Street, Carrboro, NC 27510
Fortnight Brewing Company
If you're not quite sold on kombucha, Cary's Fortnight Brewing Company has something to help ease you into it: Lucid Dreamer, a "beer/kombucha hybrid."
On the beer side of things, the drink is brewed with the malt and hops you'd expect. On the kombucha side, which is sourced from Cary-based kombucha company Tribucha, the drink includes organic tea and spices such as ginger, cayenne, and turmeric. The brewery describes the drink as "delectably sour with a warming sensation." While kombucha normally contains only trace amounts of alcohol, Lucid Dreamer clocks in at 4.5 percent ABV.
Lucid Dreamer is currently on tap at the brewery, and will be available in cans soon.
1006 Southwest Maynard Road, Cary, NC 2751

Top 9 Coolest Movie Bouncers of All Time
by Listverse Writers
fact checked by Alex Hanton
[WARNING: Some scenes and text may offend] If your job description includes being able to thrash someone within an inch of their miserable lives and doing so with impunity while enjoying the odd drink on the job, you're either a cop or a bouncer.
Bouncers, like cops, are there to maintain the status quo: ensuring that the good-looking, monied classes get preferential treatment and aren't made to shuffle their feet with the rest of the lumpenproles in line, however this isn't their sole responsibility: they're also called upon to do the kind of math long forgotten since the 5th grade: being able to calculate how old someone is, simply by looking at the date of birth on their authentic, state of Hawaii Driver's License.
Bouncers face occupational hazards that the average cop doesn't have to deal with, the "I could take that guy" delusion that drunks with superhuman Popeye strength brought on by cheap bourbon rather than leafy greens think they possess. A cop faced with a similar notion could, say, have you quickly chalk outlined on the street, whereas a bouncer has to put aside their headset and determine whether a disorderly patron can be talked down, or separated from both their dental work/teary girlfriend and sent a-packing.
You'd think a profession where there's a near constant threat of having a pinot bottle slammed off the side of your noggin like a newly christened cruise ship would land bouncers more film and TV gigs beyond the usual "Sorry sir, I don't see a 'Lindonhoffer', party of two, anywhere on the list?" roles. Generally though, it's their biceps that are called upon to wring the neck of the depressed, drunk protagonist, ignoring pleas of the leading lady as they toss them out of their favorite watering hole.
The doormen we've focused on here however, have accomplished more than simply folding burly arms and wearing suits three sizes too small, they've become pop culture icons.
So, for those who get paid to kick some gluteus max outside the confines of a ring or the auspices of an Athletic Commission, and who'd rather hold out for bribes than slave for tips, we honor the humble bouncer, with our Top Bouncers of All Time!
Pat Roach
Roach, a Judo black-belt and former wrestler, played a red-bearded bouncer in the Stanley Kubrick classic, and though he didn't actually utter any lines, he impressed the director so much that he was cast in "Barry Lyndon" and then famously, as the guy who gets his ass beat twice in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and is dispatched by propeller. The mute Clockwork role eventually led to parts in "Never Say Never Again", "Willow" and "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". For making the most of being menacing, and doing security detail for one of the coolest bars around, the Korova, which serves up narcotics-laced milk rather than the use with which we're more familiar—as a tasty dairy adjunct to Kahlua, Roach lands a spot here. Unfortunately I can not find a clip – or even a photo to accompany this item, so you get the intro to Clockwork Orange.
A Night at the Roxbury
SNL, for the better part of a decade, has brought us mirth-free Saturday nights, but prior to this, they were known to broaden eight-minute sketches into gray matter-atrophying, feature-length forgettables. "A Night at the Roxbury" bucked this trend somewhat, and did its best to derive Toyota Prius-like comic mileage from heads bopping along to the beat of What is Love? (baby don't hurt me). Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking gawk who later starred alongside Tom Hanks in the Green Mile, is no stranger to holding onto a clipboard having held down bouncer roles in both Bulworth and Married with Children for the doorman trifecta.
7) Craig Robinson
In most movies, bouncers get about as much dialogue and have as much on-screen presence as a large cactus, but "Knocked Up" bucked that trend with its hilarious exchange between Craig Robinson, of "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and "The Office" fame and Lesley Mann. Striking a blow on behalf of anyone ever deemed too ugly or old to enter a club, the Mann character lays into the bouncer, "What the fuck is your problem? I'm not going anywhere, you're just some roided out freak with a fucking clipboard!" Robinson, (showing that, although appearances may at times suggest otherwise, bouncers are human after all) admits that the system is unfair, "It's not cause you're not hot, I would love to tap that ass. I would tear that ass up. I can't let you in cause you're old as fuck. For this club, you know, not for the earth."
Max Baer
The Prizefighter and the Lady
Boxer Baer famously got Hitler's mustache in a twist by dispatching Max Schmeling at Yankee stadium, while sporting Star of David trunks. "Madcap Maxie" also laid out 6'6 Italian strongman Primo "The Ambling Alp" Carnera, who, along with former heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey make appearances in the 1933 flick, "The Prizefighter and the Lady", about a bouncer-turned boxer who tries to not let fame, fortune and loose women get to his punching bag rattled head. Baer also famously killed a man in the ring, an achievement he appears to relish if we're to take the Ron Howard movie "Cinderella Man" at its word. With that kind of resume, he's the exact kind of guy you'd want to be standing at your door if you're a bar owner to pound a hippy into the dust if need be.
Steve Collins and Lenny 'Gov-nor' Mclean
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
More former boxers to add to the list, same flick: one legit (well, as 'legit' as the current state of boxing could ever be), The "Celtic Warrior" Steve Collins, who once said of pound-for-pound champ Roy Jones after a deal fell through that he'd "fight him in a phone box in front of two men and a dog". The other bouncer pugilist, famous in the less than legit London East End bare-knuckle scene, was a 500 lb bench-presser, who tossed enough toothless yobs out the front door of enough taverns to be crowed 'King of Bouncers' in the city's pub scene. Though technically not portraying a bouncer in this film, The Guv-nor gets kudos here for his Barry the Baptist portrayal as well as for his scene stealing appearance in Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope
"No one in here but card-players tonight and I do mean no one!'
Ray Winstone
The "Don't forget to carry a big fuck off stick" and "This is the biggest irony. The ones that like you the least, normally those who have a degree in philosophy under their pacifist belts, and absolutely no fuckin' idea about the reality of life outside the college campus, they are the ones that need you most when shit and fan meet." bits of counsel, lands Winstone a spot here. Another former boxer, but more interestingly, another Indiana Jones connection here in that Winstone is to appear in the forthcoming flick Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, alongside Hollywood A-listers John Hurt, Cate Blanchett and the increasingly creaky piece of archeology that is Harrison Ford. Winstone, the actor, is a fan of the east London soccer team West Ham United, which neatly segues into our third position.
Ricki Harnett
Rise of the Footsoldier
This Brit flick chronicles the rise of Carlton Leach, a West Ham soccer hooligan whose exploits randomly beating the crap out of opposing team supporters, were exactly the tools of the trade required to bounce in some of east London's dive bars before becoming an enforcer for the local neighborhood heroin dealers.
"Everybody got what they came for. If you came in looking for a drink and a couple of birds, that's what you got. But if you came in for anything else, you'd end up with my fist in your face. And if you came back with your little army wrapped around ya, well, I'd just have to get my metal bar out."
Chow Yun Fat
Chow Yun Fat plays a club bouncer in the seedy back streets of Bangkok, Thailand, where instead of laying the smack down on pudgy middle aged Dutch pedophiles, runs afoul of a sleazy underworld boss and has to flee with his dancer girlfriend, a fellow bouncer, and his best buddy. Shown here in full on switchblade, ass-beating glory, here's some 'Fat' camp.
Roadhouse
After putting baby in a corner in Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze completely revamped his Johnny Two Step image, in this, the quintessential bouncer flick. He portrayed 'Dalton', a 'cooler' (head of bouncer security) called upon to haul drunk and unruly detritus out of the Double Deuce, a biker bar (a place that has a sign over the urinal that says 'don't eat the big white mint') in a nondescript Missouri town. In addition to battling black t-shirted coiffured mullet typecasting, Swayze had to battle fired rival 'Morgan', played with engaging fierceness by one of the titans of the squared circle, former WWF heel, Terrible Terry Funk.
For kicking copious ass while uttering 'Pain don't hurt' and 'Nobody ever wins a fight' cogitation, we salute Swayze with our #1 and sincerely hope he wins his real-life fight with the Big C.

The purpose of this website is to give a different view of what we believe is YAHWEH'S Truth!
What we are proposing to do on this website, is to break it down plainly, so one can better understand what Yahweh's Truths are .
Our purpose also is to try to get one to read the word for themselves and to ask questions, that we hope one will search for the answers.
We propose to get one to read the word and begin to ask questions, for example:( using nkjv) What does it mean when LORD and GOD is used in the word (bible)? "What is the difference between LORD and lord, or GOD and god? Does the Creator have a Name, that we are suppose to be using, is LORD and GOD His Name or a Title.
What is the Sabbath, and how many are there? What are Yahweh's laws? Did our Saviour keep them, and tell us to also? Did the disciples keep the laws, after the Saviour's death? What is Sin? The Holy Spirit what or who is it? These are just a few examples of questions that we pray one asks themselves.
We Yahweh's House Of Prayer is a "Voice In The Wilderness Crying Out Repent" and Serve Yahweh Right, His Way Not Man's Way!" We Pray Yahweh Open Up Your Understanding Through The Holy Spirit!
"Our Mission is to Search for Souls that are Thirsting for Yahweh's Truths"!

Matt Barnes trashes Tristan Thompson
Paolo Songco
NBA journeyman Matt Barnes has recently gone on tirade against Cleveland Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Barnes gave his two cents on the beef between Thompson and former teammate Draymond Green. Barnes did not put much of an effort to conceal his dislike of Thompson. He claimed that Mr. Khloe Kardashian is one of those guys that has more bark that bite.
According to Barnes, Thompson is just "not built like that." He was pertaining to Thompson's apparent fake tough guy facade. Barnes even went on to say that this is known around the NBA, and that Thompson's tough talk "wears on people."
Here's the link to the TMZ article containing the full video interview.
Barnes, who won an NBA title with the Warriors in the 2016-17 season, also added that he had Draymond's back. If there was one guy in the league who one would want to have in his corner, it would definitely be Barnes. Although, we are not exactly saying that Green is the type of guy that would require backup.
After playing 15 years in the NBA, Barnes called it a career just last December. It was the perfect time for the 37-year-old to call it quits, after winning a championship with the Warriors. During that year, Barnes played a limited role off the bench, seeing action in only 20 regular season games. In the Playoffs, he averaged only 5.1 minutes off the bench, contributing 0.8 points, 08. rebounds, and 0.6 assists per contest.
Nonetheless, we all know that Barnes' contributions to a team go way beyond the box score.

As part of the effort to make our blog more visible (and hence relevant), I am looking for other blogs that we can target to interact with and hopefully bring traffic our way.
There are two ways to approach this. First, the local/regional/state angle. Let's find people who care about our issues and also have a stake in this area. Second, the issue angle. In that case, we might target blogs or other social media on any geographic level but that are interesting for their political or topical focus.
Agent Ska: Covers many topics in Pittsburg. Politics, feminism, art, music. The link is to the posts on politics.
Gil Smart's Smart Remarks Describes himself as a Steelers fan and an avid anti-conservative. I am not sure what lancaster online is, but he may represent a cross over from homebrew blogging and commercial media.
Beaver County Blue: Describes itself as a chapter of PDA (Progressive Democrats of Maerica). Like us, a multi-author blog. Where is Beaver County?
Scatablog: Six friends who post on many topics, one of whom is in PA.
Finally, Daily Kos, one of the biggest progressive/liberal outlets made up of thousands of users and a cadre of writers who make it to the front page.
DAILY KOS on PA: This link takes you to anything by any regsitered user on Daily Kos who added a tag of Pennsylvania to their diary.
