The Young Dubliners taking Rocky Road to Denver for Colorado Irish Festival
news Comments Off
It's been another furious year of touring and music making for The Young Dubliners. But, The 'Dubs' promise to squeeze Colorado into their busy schedule to perform one night only at the Colorado Irish Festival on Friday July 13.
The 'Dubs' founder and frontman, Keith Roberts, recently spoke with the Celtic Connection about life in 'Dubland.'
"This year has turned into another full year on the road in the US and Europe. We had thought it might be a bit lighter as we worked on the new album but the "Touring Gods" had other ideas and the offers flowed in. Sometimes it's hard to turn down shows you really want to play. It has meant that work on the new CD has been slowed down but we are still juggling the time and moving forward every chance we get."
The band will make and market their new CD independent of a record label this go around, a strategy Keith knows has both up and down sides to consider. "The big "up" to the approach is that you are no longer on a labels' time schedule which can be very demanding. You also don't have a "non band member" looking over your shoulder second guessing your every move. Over the years we have had A and R reps from labels try to lead us in the wrong direction and be quite forceful with their opinions. You can't say much when it's all their money so we had to bow down and deal with it. This time we are enjoying working with our producer and no one else."
Independence and originality will hold true throughout the new CD according to Keith. "Its all original at this point. Maybe a cover song will find it's way on but no plans for that right now. We are working on a title now but as the lyrics are usually the last thing we do it's tough to settle on one just yet. I think the theme of the album is current issues. I tend to draw a lot on what's going on around me at the time, both personal and world affairs. But don't worry, it won't all be doom and gloom. There's still loads of funny stuff that gets my attention and I love to write about that too."
On the logistics of raising funds for the expensive process of recording a CD, Keith developed a pledge system specifically for the band to partner with their fans. "We have the best fans in the world!" Keith enthused, "A few years ago when all our equipment was stolen we received over 40K in help from the fans to buy new gear and stay on the road. This time we developed a pledge system based on other ideas we have seen. We didn't want to use an outside existing system like Kickstarter as its all about being independent this time. So I designed our version and right away we started receiving donations. Its truly phenomenal how much people get behind you on something like this. The pledges go from $10 for a digital album all the way up to $1000 for a guitar, tickets to shows, vinyl copy of the album, guitar lessons, dinner with the band and that sort of stuff."
The fan support for the Dubs' new CD highlights the fan loyalty the band has built over the years. Some folks might recall when the California based band first played Denver years ago. It was down at the original site of Nallen's Irish Pub on California Street.
John Nallen had been playing the bands CD at the pub, turning a lot of people on to the sounds of Dublin native Keith Roberts and company. When the word got out that the band was heading to Colorado there was a good deal of excitement and a full house waiting.
However, there was a hitch. The Dubs were Nallen's first touring band, understandably they assumed that the band was caring sound – but they weren't.
The band gained fans without even playing a note with their 'Stay calm and Hooley on' attitude. It was quite a display of determination and technical ingenuity on the Dubs part. Somehow just enough equipment was rigged together to give it a go – and what a night of music! The energy and talent of the band and Keith's abilities as a frontman, forever impressed their new fans. Since then they've been rockin' up and down the Rockies building fans all the way.
The Young Dubliners will headline a high energy night of music when they return to the Colorado Irish Festival Friday, July 13th , where they will join friends, The Elders, The Brazen Heads, The Fighting Jamesons, and others. And, their fans should be thrilled to know that they can get in free if they arrive at the front gate between 5-6P – that could be the best musical deal in the country!
So will the Dubs give us a little taste of the new CD at the fest, or should we brace ourselves for the reload and fire of 'The Irish Sessions' album as they've done recently?
"It'll be a big mixture of all the albums. We are already playing a few new songs from the new CD but the Irish festivals always bring out the Irish songs so 'Sessions' will be well represented. It's great to be back at a festival in Colorado. Although we play at least once a year in the area most of our shows tend to be over 21. This gives us a chance to reach the kids and hopefully give our more "mature" audience a chance to bring the kids and share something as a family. We are looking forward to it!"

Profile - Linnane Wick, Wick School of Irish Dance
Dance Comments Off
by Rodger Hara
Irish dance has now been in Colorado long enough for daughters of the early dancers to have become dancers themselves. One such combination is Linnane Wick and her daughter Marisa Joseph.
Born in Denver with grandparents from County Clare, and named with her grandmother's surname, Linnane was introduced to Irish dance when she was 10 years old and Pat Minehane facilitated all of the Denver Irish dancing. From there, Linnane progressed to instruction with the McTeggart School when their classes were held here in Denver during their "circuit riding" days before opening a studio. Blessed with natural talent, a passion for the dance and supportive parents, she began competing in her first oireachtas at 14, ultimately going on to win the U.S. Western Regional Championships in 1982 and 1986. Her brother Regan, four years younger than she, began dancing when he was 8, and during many summers, their parents would take them around the country to participate in feisianna (dance competitions). They competed in the Worlds where Linnane was called back several times for the final round and Regan finished fourth on two occasions. At 16, she lived in Dublin for a summer where she danced with the daughters of her host family around the south of Ireland and learned much about dance, herself and the differences in amenities between Ireland and America at that time – the best lesson for her was "… that you can really live with less." Returning to America, she began taking classes from Tim O'Hare of Detroit/Chicago, learning from the different offerings in his school.
Linnane went on to dance professionally with Cherish the Ladies for 4 years and with the Green Fields of America troupe for another year. With them, she was able to visit the Celtic region of France, Canada and Ireland, among other places, as they logged thousands of travel miles. In Ireland, the troupe appeared on the Gay Byrne Television Show. In 1993, she was part of the cast on Cherish the Ladies' The Back Door album. On another occasion, she was in the troupe that performed at the White House for President Clinton and his guests.
In the late 1980's, she began teaching in her parents' basement. Within a year, she was working out of a studio. A few years later, she reached the point where she had to choose between touring and having a family and dance school; she chose the latter and began teaching full time. The knowledge gained from the McTeggart and O'Hare Schools, her time in Ireland and her professional experience have blessed her with tools and insight that she brings to teaching today in her studio in the Denver Tech Center, along with classes in Golden and Highlands Ranch.
Classes are held daily and with the aid of assistants, 170 students a week ranging from children through adults (who call their classes "two t-shirt workouts") learn and grow. Now she hopes to enlarge and make more efficient use of her studio space.
In the meantime, she is preparing her students for the Pikes Peak Feis this month and the North American Irish Dance Championships to be held in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend, to which she will take 15 to 20 students. .
Her students have danced for several years in the Denver Brass "Bagpipes and Brass" concerts and competed well at all levels around the country. Students from her school have won more than 25 Western U.S. Regional Champion titles and several have placed as high as 4th in the North American Dance Championships. Each spring for the past 20 years (except in years when her children were about to be born) she has traveled to Ireland for the World Championships. Given her trips there as a student, competitor, performer and dance teacher, Linnane has been there over 50 times, and has easily spent more than a year of her life there. Each time she returns, she is reminded of how amazingly kind and welcoming the Irish people are and how they always have time for a cup of tea. In addition, her daughter, who is 11 and has been a regional champion herself, was able to participate in the Worlds in Dublin last year and Belfast this year. Through it all, Linnane has come to realize how much Irish dance and music are a celebration of the culture and how privileged she is to be part of something in which everyone feels happy and can participate. She invites all to join in and spread the joy of Irish dance.

Co-ed Hurling League, Sundays 3pm Clement Park Littleton.
The Hurling League resumes next Sunday June 3rd at Clement Park after a hiatus of a couple of weeks due to the Albuquerque trip and the Memorial Weekend Holiday. The players are chomping at the bit to get back out and pick up where things left off before the break. The competitiveness and team spirit has been fantastic with all players both Veterans and New Players raising the skill level and intensity each week. The camaraderie has been fantastic even though the competition is fierce, with fair play and respect on and off the field. Each of the four teams look fantastic kitted out in their new jerseys and we have the largest number of players we have ever had in the league.
After two weeks of play 2012 Hurling League Standings have unbeaten Dougherty's Irish Pub in first place edging past the unbeaten Celtic Tavern with a total point count of 21 to 20. Scruffy Murphys were 3rd and The Fainting Goat 4th.
Co-ed Football League, Fridays 7pm Infinity Park Glendale.
The Football League kicks off on Friday June 8th at 7pm at the turf field at Infinity Park in Glendale. The league has been eagerly awaited ever since the hugely successful Draft Party and Barbecue held at Seamus Blaney's house a few weeks back. Like the Hurling League we have the highest ever number of players ever for this league. There has been much good spirited banter between the players about who the best team is but obviously all the talk in the world will not replace actual play on the field to determine each games winner. Names of each team were also selected by vote of the players the night of the draft and are as follows:
The Cute Hoors. Captain: Marci Metcalf; Honey Badgers. Captain: Damien Borg; BAMF's. Captain Katie Ortman; Orange Crush. Captain: Nathan Civili
New players are always welcome to both leagues and to the Denver Gaels in general, go to www.denvergaels.com or our facebook page for more info.**
On Going Practices
In addition to the league play, regular training sessions are continuing to improve our skills and prepare for upcoming games and of course the ultimate North American Championships in Philadelphia on Labor Day Weekend. The training times and locations are as follows:
Hurling: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm at Clement Park in Littleton; Football, Men and Ladies: Wednesdays at 6:30pm at Cook Park in Denver; Football Men: Sundays, 1pm Clement Park Littleton; Camogie (ladies): Thursdays, 6pm City Park in Denver next to the youth fields.
Albuquerque Trip.
As we have done for the past number of years, the Denver Gaels made the trek south to the Rio Grande Celtic Festival in Albuquerque on May 18th. This year the focus was men's football and we were hosted by a very strong team of Irish Lads form the Intel facility in Albuquerque.
This was our first competitive football game of the year and we were eager to test our mettle against a very experienced Intel team. We started off brightly and both sides swapped points and were neck and neck right through the game. A superb effort by our new goal keeper David Leflar kept us in the game and the teams were tied right up to the last few minutes when a late goal from a series of passes gave the Intel team the win.
After a break of a couple of hours a second game commenced. Denver started brightly in an effort to make up for the previous loss and remained competitive until the second half when the superior numbers on the Intel team plus their level of experience saw them pull away and take the second game also.
Although we lost, Denver gave a very good account of ourselves and played hard and fair and the Intel team were full of praise for Denver and how far we are progressing as a team. We have taken valuable experiences from the game and it goes a long way in helping us prepare for our up-coming games in San Diego, Kansas City and of course at the North American Championships in Philly. Best players for Denver were: David Leflar, Tom Walsh, Dylan Donnelly,Lloyd Chavez,Kieran Lynn
That night both teams met up at Dirty Burbon's in Albuquerque for some libations and where many showed their skill on the mechanical bull. There may be some transfers in the future to the Pro Rodeo Tour.
Re-Launch of Denver Gaels Youth League
After a bit of a hiatus, we are happy to announce the RE-LAUNCH of the Denver Gaels Youth league! Starting up on Sunday, June 10th from 2-4 pm we will be starting to build the new team. We are currently focusing primarily on Gaelic football, but we will have a few small clinics here and there to introduce the youth to hurling/camogie. This summer is a building summer. We are focused on laying a strong foundation so that NEXT summer (2013) the Denver Gaels Youth league will be a force to be reckoned with at the national youth conference! Since this is a building year, we strongly encourage ALL youth (both boys and girls) between the ages of 8-17yrs to come out and try their hand at this wonderful Irish sport! No need to be shy or worry about not knowing how to play, we have expert coaches that will be working from the basics up and teaching your youth how to play. The best part about this league. . . it's F-R-E-E. Simply show up with water, sunscreen, and good running shoes/cleats. We will be meeting on Sundays (starting June 10th) from 2-4pm at Clement Park in Littleton. We will be on the fields nearest the library. Please come and join us for a summer of fun, free Irish sports! For more information about our league, you can contact us at [email protected] or visit our website www.denvergaels.com/youth .
Room to Rove: Irish Rover's new expansion christened with prayer and a pint
Alan O'Gorman, owner of the Irish Rover pub and restaurant will beat the drum 7 times in June to commemorate the number of years open for business in Denver's popular Baker Neighborhood He might beat the drum an extra 3 joyous times because he has tripled the size of his 54 South Broadway location with a rooftop bar/ restaurant, party room, and new kitchen. The opportunity for the improvement became possible when the space next door to him became available explained Alan. "I always wanted to do a rooftop but learned that it is very difficult to do structural work to existing Rover premises without having to shut down completely while under construction. It was a great opportunity to do it when the space next door became available. Also, we lacked an adequate size kitchen in the Rover to do more than a limited menu. Now we can offer significantly more on our menu. With the expansion we've added a private space which I hope to book private parties such as birthdays, weddings, and perhaps use as an overflow room on special occasions such as ST. Patrick's Day.
The Rover had a 'soft opening' last month with friends and employees celebrating on the new rooftop. Prior to the official unofficial opening, two guests stopped by with some special wishes. Alan tells the story, "Father David was ordained as a priest – if that's the correct terminology -well he's a priest anyway. He went in to the seminary a month after we opened the Rover along with his friend Brother John. They made the Rover their second home and on occasion were involved in a couple of, what is described in the pub business as a 'lock in.'- Featuring John singing like Pavarotti until 4 in the morning!" Laughed Alan as he recalled, "I'm not sure if that's what caused him trouble at the Seminary but his seminary days were cut short abruptly."
Before the proverbial ribbon was cut opening the rooftop oasis, a small ceremony took place as Father David gave the Pub an official blessing.
A number of well wishers in the pub business stopped for a toast said Alan. "John and Una Nallen from Mayo, who I believe put Irish Pubs on the Map in Denver being that they opened the first true Irish Pub in Denver back 20years ago or so -great pub, great pint, great people!" Other attendees included Glen Eastwood GM of Fado Irish Pub, Wes Ingram, owner of Dougherty's around the corner, and Tommy who now works for Crispin Cider.
Alan is originally from Limerick, and is an alumnus of the Denver Gaels, the local Irish sports association, so the Gaels were well represented on the roof. Included was one of the Gaels founders Shay Dunne who is originally from Dublin. Alan and Shay banter about what county has the best teams. Said Alan, "Shay even brought the Dublin jersey with him in the hope of me putting it up on the wall opening night, but clearly, that was never going to happen," he added with a chuckle, "but a nice gesture nevertheless on his part."
Friends in the neighborhood also stopped by the rooftop to show support. "It's great to see how well the neighborhood has reacted positively. I am very fortunate to have a neighborhood pub in the Baker Neighborhood. Baker has everything great restaurants, great music venues great galleries, great bars, great coffee shops etc. etc." And now they have a great rooftop!
The rooftop and kitchen are open now. The official grand opening will be in mid June. Call the Irish Rover at 303-282-4643 for details.

Accommodations in Ireland – A plan for all vacations
news, travel Comments Off
Travel There..
by Enda Walsh June 2012 Celtic Connection
Ireland is ready and waiting for you – You just need to get there. Before you go, set your itinerary as precise or as carefree as you need it to be. No matter where you travel on the island there will be accommodations to fit your needs.
If you are going to Ireland primarily for a popular special event, location, or time, it would be wise to book your room in advance. If you are traveling alone or with like minded companions, and you have a relatively open schedule, then you might
find booking as you go an adventurous way to travel. Unencumbered by specifics can be freedom for some but daunting to others, so know your personality.
'A Hundred Thousand Welcomes' (Céad míle fáilte) is not just a clever Irish slogan. Folks in Ireland's travel industry go out of their way to help you and are proud of their worldwide reputation for Irish hospitality.
To illustrate my point I will share one of many great experiences with this phenomenon.
Outside of Galway we were driving along a shore road in a "me and you and a dog named boo" frame of mind when we realized it was time to find a room for the evening.
The night darkness was setting in quickly as rain and wind came across the Atlantic. We drove into the first B & B just as the owner was outside locking the door. We learned that he had just finished cleaning up from earlier guests and was heading to his home. With a smile on his face and no bother at all he brought us in from the storm. After calling his wife to tell her that he would be late, he proceeded to build us a turf fire, and served up hot tea with smoked salmon and Irish brown bread. Now where in the world do you find that warmth and friendly treatment of complete strangers? Ireland!
B & Bs are plentiful around Ireland in country, town, and urban settings. More often then not they suit my needs and budget. When you stay at a B& B, usually you are staying in someone's home and your host and family live on site. They are a wealth of information and are willing to educate you about their locality and give you insider tips on what to see and do, complete with directions.
As the acronym implies, your accommodation includes a bed and breakfast. Most rooms are en-suite (with bathrooms). You'll often find a sitting room in the home designed for your comfort to read or check the internet.
A sumptuous homemade breakfast will fuel you for the better part of your fun day ahead.
Hostels and Camp & Caravan are awesome options to help keep on budget as you travel through Ireland. Both are good ways to meet up with fellow tourists and share travel stories or learn about someone's home country. Amenities are more communal in nature so kitchens or cooking areas are self catering and shower areas have privacy controls but are often shared at central locations. Most Irish hostels have a selection of dorms and private rooms, and some private rooms offer en-suite facilities.
Camp and Caravan sites number around 200 in Ireland. Whether you arrive with caravan, a motor home or a tent, you well enjoy up to date camping facilities. Facilities usually include family areas for indoor and outdoor activities.
Camp & Caravan and Hostels both have curfews, so if you are a late night party animal when on vacation you might pick another type of accommodation. Both are very popular especially May through October, so book in advance.
The Irish Cottage can be a cozy base camp and another low-cost travel alternative, particularly if you are with your family or a group, and you want to hunker down and spend a longer time in one area. Self-catering cottages have full kitchens and can be your "home away from home" while allowing you to spend more time relaxing and exploring Ireland instead of changing accommodations every night.
Choose from traditional Irish cottages, modern apartments and chalets in villages, towns and cities all over the country.
Irish Guesthouses offer a viable alternative to traditional hotel accommodation in Ireland. Family-run guesthouses are all around the island conveniently located in urban and rural settings. Guesthouses are somewhat of a cross between a B & B and a conventional hotel, combining a homey personal touch with some hotel offerings like evening meals and a bar.
Manor Houses & Country Hotels are comprised of a unique collection of individual family run properties united by their owners' commitment to traditional hospitality and service. Sourcing local food and working with farmers, fishermen and food producers they bring the best and fresh to your dining room experience.
These boutique hotels can be found in idyllic settings throughout the country. All provide stylish accommodations and luxury experiences.
Castle Hotels would be ideal for the special occasion with the special person. Living in the lap of luxury and in the shadows of history could be the ultimate Irish experience that could spoil you forever – but go ahead, you only live once!
There you go, as you can see accommodations for tourists in Ireland are bountiful and brilliant! Now it's up to you to decide what suits you best.
A few tips before I sign off in regards to costs of accommodation:
Make sure that you understand if your booking price quote is per person or per room/accommodation; Most guesthouses accept credit cards but may charge a fee for this service, cash payments may be cheaper; Multiple night stays sometimes earn special discounts; In general you can go as cheap as $20 for a hostel and all the way up to – well a lot, for a room at a castle (but worth every penny). Costs can fluctuate depending on time of year, special events and other variables that effect availability.
And, the best tip I can give you is to go to discoverireland.com where all of your accommodations and vacation plans are made easy. So get your plan together and jump into action!

WILD BILL HICKOK AND THE WRATH OF THE DEAD RABBITS by James Mic Regan (Signalman Publishing, 2012, 195 pages, paperback, $14.99)
books Comments Off
From May 2012 Celtic Connect 'BOOKKEEPING' review by Mary McWay Seaman
The old American West has long been sentimentalized in story, song and film, but this book does none of that. It portrays a sorrowful world with widespread violence, mortal infections, short life spans, and few creature comforts. James Mic Regan's book, comprised of historical research, legends and his grandfather's stories, presents a fresh look at James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok, a Union Civil War veteran born in 1837. He was also a drifter and a hard-drinking, gun-slinging, poker-playing peace officer in the West who came up against members of a far-flung Irish gang out of New York City.
Around 1850 an Irish clan of Kellys formed a violent gang of robbers and killers in New York City. Products of extreme poverty and criminally dysfunctional families, they sported tattoos of dead rabbits impaled on spears and left actual dead rabbits on enemy corpses. Many joined the Union Army's all-Irish regiment (the New York Fighting Sixty-Ninth) and some were incorporated into the Irish "WHYOS" gang of New York after the war. Some enlisted in George Custer's Seventh Cavalry as the "Irish Avengers." One-third of Custer's soldiers were Irish, and most identified themselves as Dead Rabbits or Irish Avengers with roots in New York. James Mic Regan asserts that these Irishmen "plotted, carried out and covered up the assassinations of Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood, South Dakota, and his only trusted friend, California Joe." The killings were alleged retribution for Hickok's slaying of Seventh Cavalry soldier, John Kelly. The Irish Avengers (a criminal cartel of sorts) had ties with Doc Kelley's gang of Dodge City, Kansas, and also with Bat Masterson, Wyatt and Virgil Earp, Doc Holliday and William Bonney (Billy the Kid).
In 1869 Hickok was Marshal of Hays City, Kansas and Sheriff of Ellis County. He drew a salary, additional pay for each arrest, and a percentage of fines collected. Arrests soared in the dog-eat-dog environment. Hays was a wild town with all the attendant ills of frontier life, and Hickok had run-ins with the Seventh Cavalry Irishmen. He left in 1870 for work in Abilene, but soon found trouble there after a shooting: "The citizens of Abilene had learned what the citizens of Hays City had realized – that Wild Bill Hickok was not the great well-admired lawman that the eastern dime novel writers told about." Many believed that he was "a trigger-happy paranoid gunman . . ."
Hickok settled in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, in 1876 and was shot dead in the Number Ten Saloon there during the Gold Rush. James Mic Regan's evidence points to Hickok's death by the Kelly killing machine. His grandfather's stories set up Hickok's final card game with details from a Kelly who belonged to New York City's Irish gangs, the Fighting Sixty-Ninth Union Army Regiment, and Custer's Seventh Cavalry. The author's grandfather met this Kelly clan member – an old soldier named Kidd Kelly – in Prescott, Arizona around 1920. Sporting a tattoo of an impaled rabbit, he delivered his life's story from famine-stricken Ireland to Wild Bill's death in Deadwood.
The layout of the Number Ten Saloon is delivered in exquisite detail. The fall guy in the Hickok assassination was a local hand-to-mouther named Jack McCall. Two Irish Avengers finished Hickok off after McCall's gun failed. The Avengers were in no hurry to leave town; these brawlers paraded proudly through Deadwood to attend McCall's trial. McCall was acquitted, but failed to leave town forthwith; he was dispatched to Laramie where the Kellys had arranged for the army to try him again. McCall was found guilty and hanged. (Trials were speedy affairs.)
James Mic Regan relates details of Sioux Chief Crazy Horse's surrender at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, in 1877 where he was mortally injured, supposedly in retribution for the battle at Little Big Horn. The author posits that four Kellys killed him in revenge for an earlier Indian attack on a Kelly child. (The chief officially died in his sleep after being wounded by a guard.) By 1883, Tombstone, Arizona, was the "new residence for . . . fugitives of Dodge City, Kansas." Kidd Kelly had been there and offered candid looks at the silver boomtown where the Earps and Doc Holliday were feuding with the Clantons. By 1890 Kidd was sick and broke but eager to engage in a last hurrah to help stamp out the Indian threat from Chief Sitting Bull. The author tells us that Kidd and the Avengers were involved in the massacre at Wounded Knee and helped engineer Sitting Bull's execution. Kidd then moseyed on to Arizona after leaving more trouble behind in Creede, Colorado.
These new angles on crimes committed in an era of primitive technologies and old-time forensics – a time when tribalism's tenets often trumped truth – enliven historical records. (The author admits that some do not match official records.) Whether they are perceived as revisionist history is up to readers. It is safe to say that James Mic Regan's book provides plausible answers to many open questions. He rests his case.

« Jason Coleman's Top Ten Films Of 2016 (Plus Bonus #8 Director Ryan Schwartz Interview!)
Phantasm: Remastered (Blu-ray Review) »
Aaron's Terrific Top Ten Films of 2016
December 30th, 2016 by Aaron Neuwirth
The end of 2016 means an end to another year of great cinema. I had a tough time putting together this final list of films, as there was a strong selection to go through. Having watched over 175 films theatrically this year, it was fun to narrow things down to a final list of ten films. This is especially the case, given how hard I worked to keep in mind my personal thoughts on all aspects of each of these films and how they resonated with me in the time since seeing them. So here we go with my picks for the Top Ten films of 2016 and the ranked runner-ups. (As per usual, I placed lots of Easter Eggs hidden in all of the pictures).
As stated, I have a ranked set of runner-ups, so let's start here:
30. Queen of Katwe
29. The Red Turtle
28. 10 Cloverfield Lane
27. Fences
26. Green Room
25. Loving
24. A Monster Calls
23. Shin Godzilla
22. Hidden Figures
21. The Witch
20. Captain Fantastic
19. Morris From America
18. Silence
17. Everybody Wants Some!!
16. Arrival
15. The Nice Guys
14. Jackie
13. Manchester By The Sea
12. Sing Street
11. Hail, Caesar!
And now for the Top Ten:
10. Midnight Special
Director Jeff Nichols was able to see two of his films reach theaters this year. While Loving was perfectly fine as far as telling an important story, I connected more with Midnight Special. This original science fiction film essentially feels like we are picking up with a story in its third act, yet that works. Nichols' choice to withhold specific details allows the viewer to fill in the blanks where needed, but also wrap themselves up in the immediate plight of these characters. Nichol's regular Michael Shannon is as great as one would expect as a devoted father, while Joel Edgerton's understated turn as a guardian further shows how well Nichols' stripped down style can work in various genres. Not hurting is the sci-fi element, which allows for some neat moments of emotion and imagination.
"Sometimes we are asked to do things that are beyond us."
9. The Lobster
Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos brought his vision of a dystopian future to the big screen by way of a dark comedy that provides a twisted view on relationships. However, despite being in a world where you either find a soul mate or get turned into an animal, love manages to still rule all, as the film settles into its darker second half. Colin Farrell is great in a film that provides him the chance to really dig into his talent for dry humor, as this is a world that feels drained of emotion. Still, that only means the film is full of laughs and awkward moments, as it delves into strange territory. The Lobster features fine support from the rest of the cast, a visual style that evokes Kubrick and a sense of humor that helps keep the film's deeper themes in perspective.
"If you encounter any problems you cannot resolve yourselves, you will be assigned children, that usually helps."
8. The Fits
The Fits is a hypnotic drama involving an 11-year-old tomboy struggling to fit into a girls' dance troupe. Balancing some coming-of-age ideas with elements of a psychological thriller, the film's scant 75-minute runtime was just enough to make this into a memorable experience. Given the atmosphere and minimalist approach, I was reminded of films such as Enemy or Under the Skin, despite just how different all of these features are from each other. Director Anna Rose Holmer has made a strong debut film here, working with non-professional actors and young Royalty Hightower, who is great in the lead. While I saw this film the latest of all the other top ten picks, it's a film, like all the others on this list, that has had me continuing to think about it.
"Is she okay?"
7. Kubo and the Two Strings
It is of no surprise to that Laika once again delivered another fantastic stop-motion film. This time they delivered a samurai-themed action-adventure, featuring mind-boggling visuals, given the challenge it is to approach this style of animation. Once again Laika not only delivers on setting up new animation challenges and accomplishing them, but also putting together a deceptively complex story with adult themes. Kubo and the Two Strings deals with family and the nature of storytelling in a way that allows for imagination to literally take hold. Lively vocal performances and terrific action sequences help keep the film engaging, but Kubo also finds a way to end in an unexpected manner that really makes one think about the implications. I've continually supported Laika for their original approach to stories and visuals and Kubo did not disappoint.
"If you must blink, do it now."
6. Hell or High Water
The sleeper summer hit that has gotten all sorts of high regard is a wonderful modern western with more on its mind than just a couple of guys robbing banks. Hell or High Water takes a familiar idea and allows us to view two different perspectives of what is going on and present introspective thoughts from each of the four main characters involved. Jeff Bridges is about as great as he can be here, but Chris Pine was quite impressive, in addition to solid supporting work from Ben Foster and Gil Birmingham. Director David Mackenzie does the film a variety of favors thanks to his work in overseeing all the wonderful elements including the sun soaked cinematography, careful balance of tension and humor and the touches of flavor in regards to the locals we encounter and how the west has changed.
"Do you know what that makes me? A Comanche."
5. La La Land
Going from the intensity of Whiplash to the colorful joy that is La La Land shows a very promising future for the already highly praised Damien Chazelle. This enchanting throwback to musicals of the past, with plenty of modern touches, has won over so many audiences for good reason. This is a movie that brings so many great feelings to life, without betraying what it means to pursue one's dreams as well as face reality. The real world drama makes up some of the time spent with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling's characters, but so much more of the film is a celebration of Los Angeles. Characters arrive at different spots in the city and dance and sing to the superb sounds of Justin Hurwitz's winning score and original songs. Beginning with a grand opening number and concluding with a powerful musical epilogue, La La Land will be netting a lot of awards for good reason.
"This is the dream! It's conflict and it's compromise, and it's very, very exciting!"
4. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
So many of my favorite films of the year have a great level of heart and Hunt for the Wilderpeople is no exception. Shot with care in the sprawling forests of New Zealand, this story of a mismatched pair who go on the run is incredibly amusing. Sam Neill and newcomer Julian Dennison make a terrific team and director Taika Waititi has crafted a film that easily finds them rattling off one-liners that I'll be happy to keep quoting. Additionally, the familial bond that forms between the pair allows for a good amount of emotional significance to go along with the general wackiness seen throughout. There are also only so many films that come out in a year that features full-scale manhunts, a major car chase sequence and a helpful fellow who disguises himself as a bush. Hunt for the Wilderpeople has all of those things and so much more, making it a heartwarming delight.
"I didn't choose the skuxx life, the skuxx life chose me."
3. Moonlight
Director Barry Jenkins captures true cinema by evoking films from directors such as Wong Kar-wai with his incredibly involving drama Moonlight. This three part story that moves well past its stage play origins, given the film's fantastic cinematography, places you into the mind of a troubled character. Viewing the various stages of Chiron's life (beautifully acted by three different performers), we get a look at the kind of lives rarely seen on film in an attempt to explore black masculinity. However, rather than take this story down a familiar path, Moonlight subverts a number of ideas and provides some incredible support from the other actors involved (Mahershala Ali is just one of the great supporting actors seen in this film). Even if one were to be on the outside of the basic concept presented, this is a film that explores how one can find a connection in a lonely world, while breaking apart stereotypes and more. Moonlight tells a terrific story that moves through its mellow mood with assured confidence in a way that certainly has a lasting effect.
"Where's you Chiron?"
2. Zootopia
Zootopia is one of the best Disney films the studio could have made for me. It plays as an animated buddy comedy and a neo-noir mystery, which also happens to tackle themes of racism and xenophobia. The fact that this tremendous vocal cast breathes life into the numerous characters that populate this richly animated film is merely a bonus to a film with such a fantastic screenplay. It would have been easy to simply make a story about a bunch of talking animals living in a modern world, but there is so much more cleverness on display. Directors Bryon Howard and Rich Moore decided to build a world that tackles mature ideas, while also being an awesome film for kids. For a good part of the year, Zootopia was on the top of my list, but a shift to second place does not take away the fact that Disney once again delivered something special.
"Do you think when she goes to sleep, she counts herself?"
1. Paterson
I have been happy to embrace Jim Jarmusch's style during the time that I've been able to see his work. There is something so captivating about the way the indie filmmaker can draw a viewer in through his minimalist style of filmmaking. With Paterson, Jarmusch managed to tap into something that explores one's thought process and be its own sort of response to the director's previous work. It was all deeply affecting for me. The fun little touches of this story about a bus driver named Paterson who lives in Paterson are all over this film. There is hardly any actual drama to speak of, yet the film still operates on a variety of levels. It fixates on the mind of Adam Driver's character, who uses his repetitive day-to-day experiences as a means to create poetry. That makes this the story of a writer; one who lives with a loving wife and dog and demands little from the life he has for himself. Still, he's kind and observant, which is enough to make him an interesting figure among the many interesting figures he is constantly surrounded by. While quaint and seemingly uneventful, the allure of this magnificent film has kept me thinking about it in a way that will surely help me to continue appreciating what cinema has to offer. Paterson is my favorite film of the year and while it may be a far cry from 2015's champ, Mad Max: Fury Road, both (along with many of my other favorites) make it clear how wonderfully varied all films can be, yet still resonate greatness.
"I go through trillions of molecules that move aside to make way for me, while on both sides, trillions more stay where they are."
Films I Missed:
Band of Robbers, Cameraperson, Cemetery of Splendor, Christine, The Eagle Huntress, Embrace of the Serpent, The Founder, Hello, My Name is Doris, I Am Not Your Negro, Julieta, Krisha, Life Animated, The Love Witch, Miles Ahead, Neruda, O.J.: Made in America, Sunset Song, Toni Erdmann, Tower, Weiner, Your Name
And that's a wrap for this year. Feel free to check out some more random shout outs, as well as my picks for the biggest disappointments and worst films of the year. Putting those aside, it's been a joy to go to the movies, as that's all I can say when I have 30 great films to choose from, not to mention so many others I was happy to give credit to. I am looking forward to plenty of films coming in 2017, big and small, and I doubt I will be mixed on another year in film, given how much I love getting to go to the movies.

Wow! Incredible, detailed list once again!
I had NO IDEA you liked The Witch as much as you did.
While I have not seen Patterson, I really been meaning to check out The Lobster for awhile now. It's on Amazon Prime so that day is coming!
Like I said on Brandon's I just could not get into Midnight Special at all. Had it not been for you I would have missed out on Hell or High Water. And both you and B got me to watch/own Zootopia this year, something I would have ordinarily dismissed too.
Your link to the biggest disappointment though contained some of my favorite flicks, LOL, including Keanu. That was a film I was dead set against and wanted absolutely nothing to do with, but so glad I chose to ultimately partake in.

I did not see nearly as many films as you did, although if you add in the Classic Revists on the big screen, I'm not doing too bad. Still we managed to have three of the same in our top ten and seven in common if I extend to your top 30. I enjoy these end of the year lists for the quick social comparison that they allow. I'll be looking for your posts in the new year.

5 cross overs and 2 spotted the same! A record? I dunno. Great list! Your remaining 5 are ones I either couldn't get to or just opened/will be opening here and I'm excited to see 'em.
KUBO 4 EVER! Can't wait to see what's next from them. You either Laika them or you're wrong! (I'm a dad, I can make those jokes)
Cool poster for Midnight Special. Haven't see that one before. And those easter eggs always rock and its such a awesome idea and tradition that I love about your lists.
Keep on keepin' on. And here's to more talking and celebrating great movies next year!
We're close to making Hell or High Water the Why So Blu? Movie of the year!

Nice easter eggs sir! Great list as admittedly you have two films on your list here I have not seen. (Will be catching those ASAP!) Proud to be working with you!
Gerard Iribe
Woah, Jarmusch in the #1 spot! I have not seen that one but remember when Only Lovers Left Alive cracked the list a couple of years ago.
I have to admit, I have only watched 2 films from your Top-10 and a few more from the overall list.
I'll be adding quite a few to my queue.

[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[photoRequest setHTTPBody:body];

This works in that the image is sent and received by the URL. What I want to do is send some other information - the photoID for example - as a string and within the same request. Is that possible?

A: Yes, it is possible. Have a try.
NSMutableURLRequest *photoRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:photoPostString] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
[photoRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

NSString *boundary = @"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary];
[photoRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\"%@.jpg\"\r\n", obsID] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"text\"\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[@"photoID=1234" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[photoRequest setHTTPBody:body];

A: Your code is perfect, just add following code below your code to send other data like text.
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
    [dict setObject:@"<YOUR TEXT>" forKey:@"<KEY>"];

    [body appendData:[self createFormData:dict withBoundary:boundary]];
    [photoRequest setHTTPBody:body];

    NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:photoRequest returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"%@", returnString);

And here is the function to create form data.
- (NSData*)createFormData:(NSDictionary*)myDictionary withBoundary:(NSString*)myBounds
{
    NSMutableData *myReturn = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
    NSArray *formKeys = [myDictionary allKeys];
    for (int i = 0; i < [formKeys count]; i++) {
        [myReturn appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",myBounds] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
        [myReturn appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%@\"\r\n\r\n%@",[formKeys objectAtIndex:i],[myDictionary valueForKey:[formKeys objectAtIndex:i]]] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
    }
    return myReturn;
}

A group of Baptists from Missouri recently visited Cuba to learn about Baptists in that island nation. Eight Missourians joined four other Baptists last month to bridge religious, political and cultural divides between the two countries.
Ned Walsh, a former Missouri Baptist minister who lives in North Carolina, organized the trip. Walsh, who has traveled to Cuba regularly over the past 25 years, spoke at the annual gathering of Churchnet in April to urge participation.
Leaders of Churchnet joined the delegation, including Vice President Forestal Lawton, Missions Mobilization Team Leader Gary Snowden and Editorial Assistant Brian Kaylor. Four individuals from Kirkwood Baptist Church, Kirkwood, Mo., which has partnered with a church in Cuba for two decades, participated in the trip: Bob Starkey, Pat Tajkowski and Mira and Sasha Zivanov. Thelma Congleton, from Sparta, Mo., also went.
Joining them were Loretta Woodson from Texas, and Craig Henry and D.H. Clark, members of Northminster Church in Monrú, La., which has had a two-decade partnership with a Cuban Baptist church. Of the group, only Walsh, Tajkowski, Henry and Clark had previously visited Cuba.
The U.S. delegation attended the 40th anniversary of the Coordinación Obrero-Estudiantil Bautista de Cuba (Coordination of Baptist Workers and Students in Cuba), or COEBAC. More than 80 Cuban Baptists gathered at Iglesia Bautista Emmanuel (Emmanuel Baptist Church) in Ciego de Ávila in the middle of the island for the celebration Oct. 10-11.
Representatives from the Baptist Convention of Eastern Cuba and the Fraternity of Baptist Churches in Cuba gathered for the anniversary, which also was an effort to revive the organization after years of inaction. A group of Swedish Baptists attended the founding meeting. The presence of the U.S. Baptists (two of whom are originally from Bosnia and Serbia) continued the international engagement.
The COEBAC meeting focused on Baptist principles in light of the historical and cultural Cuban context. The discussions centered around five key Baptist principles: separation of church and state, freedom of conscience, autonomy of the local church, Lordship of Jesus Christ and authority of the Bible. Raúl Suárez, longtime Baptist leader in Cuba and member of the National Assembly of People's Power (Cuba's national parliament), epitomized the discussions as he incorporated Cuban history and culture with historic Baptist ideas. Speaking about the separation of church and state, Suárez traced the importance of the principle throughout the world and then connected it to the Cuban context.
Connecting the principle to Cuba, Suárez said it "hurts me" that when the Spanish conquers arrived on the island "they came with the cross and the sword." More recently, Cuba increased religious freedoms in 1992 by no longer requiring public officials to be atheists, which led Suárez to start serving in the national parliament the following year.
Two Missourians were on the COEBAC program. Lawton spoke during a plenary session about the importance of Baptist principles, focusing on the autonomy of the local church and the authority of scripture. Snowden led the breakout session on freedom of conscience.
"Being able to discuss such topics in an open forum in Cuba was perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the trip for me," reflected Snowden, who serves as associate pastor at First Baptist Church of Lee's Summit.
As Baptists in the U.S. started working in Cuba over a century ago, Northern and Southern Baptists split the island among themselves. Historically, the Baptist Convention of Eastern Cuba worked with the Northern Baptist Convention (now Ameri?can Baptist Churches USA) and the Baptist Convention of Western Cuba worked with the Southern Baptist Convention.
In the 1960s, the Cuban government expelled U.S. missionaries, including two Southern Baptist missionaries the government first imprisoned. Cuban Baptists at the meeting lamented the territorial split that U.S. Baptists introduced in Cuba — a division that remains to this day. Baptists on each side of the island grew to resemble the U.S. convention with whom they partnered. Eastern Baptists (related to American Baptists)participated in the COEBAC meeting but Western Baptists (aligned with Southern Baptists) pulled out to protest one of the speakers.
"This imposed division began developing two mindsets in Cuba," explained Ramona Matos, pastor of Iglesia Bautista Canaan (Canaan Baptist Church) in Bolivia, Cuba.
The Americans also visited Western Cuban Baptist Seminary in Havana, the office of the Cuban Council of Churches in Havana and a Baptist Church in Pinar del Río.
Brian Kaylor is Churchnet's communications and engagement team leader.


For over 20 years, Morinda has helped people achieve their financial goals through the sale of world-class products. Morinda has created over 300 millionaires* and has helped many others find financial success and relieve financial burdens.
We are proud of the financial opportunity available at Morinda. We attribute our success to award-winning, high-quality products, as well as our dedicated Independent Product Consultants (IPCs) around the world. Morinda has one of the strongest compensation plans in the industry. It is proven, sound, and has stood the test of time. In fact, Morinda has never missed a commission payment in its 20-year history.
So what kind of commissions can you expect when you become a Morinda IPC? Unfortunately, we cannot predict how each IPC will perform—success is completely up to individual effort. However, the table below will provide a breakdown of average earnings of Morinda IPCs in the United States. All figures refer to monthly income.
The income statistics above are for all U.S. IPCs who were eligible to earn commissions during 2018 (i.e., active IPCs). In 2018, 48.35% of all active IPCs did not receive any commissions. IPCs who received no commissions are comprised of IPC accounts that are inactive but have not yet been closed due to inactivity, IPCs whose customer base and downline sales organization purchased product in amounts that did not qualify them to earn commission payments, and IPCs who did not generate sales volume by building a customer base or downline sales organization and thus are primarily customers, not business builders.
These figures do not include retail profits earned by IPCs from reselling Morinda products, nor do they represent IPC profits, as they do not consider expenses incurred by Morinda IPCs in the promotion of their businesses.
Car bonuses were earned by 0.4% of all active IPCs/0.8% of all active IPCs who earned commissions. Travel benefits were awarded to 2.0% of all active IPCs/3.9% of all IPCs who earned commissions.
*The average time it took for our over 300 IPCs to achieve a million dollars in cumulative commissions is 7 years; the shortest time was 6 months.
We hope this gives you a general idea of the income opportunity available to Morinda IPCs. Individual income results may vary depending on skill and effort. Not everyone will achieve the represented level of income, and these figures should not be regarded as a guarantee or projection of actual earnings. Successful sales efforts require hard work, diligence, and leadership. Individual IPC success will depend on how effectively you demonstrate these qualities.

Lauren & Fraser booked me to be their Colwick Hall wedding photographer thanks to a recommendation. It was from their friend's, Amy & Sam who Peak Edge Hotel wedding in Chesterfield. I'm always grateful when happy customers pass my details onto their friends when they need to book a wedding photographer. Not only does it mean I get to document another bride & groom's special day. It also gives me an opportunity to catch up with previous customers. I absolutely love seeing how they're doing.
Fraser & Lauren had chosen to get married at the beautiful Colwick Hall, right in the heart of Nottingham city centre. Nestled on the banks of the river Trent, this stunning Georgian country house makes the ideal setting to say your marriage vows.
We were incredibly lucky with the weather. It rained just as we finished the afternoon portraits and it didn't stop for the rest of the day. Later on, just before the first dance. I asked the newlyweds if they'd mind stepping out into the rain for a photograph I'd planned with an umbrella. Not only did they not mind, they were even happy when I walked them to the entrance gates of Colwick Hall and took the umbrella away! I just love how much trust my couples put in me. That I will be able to deliver stunning, natural looking photographs. Even when the weather isn't ideal.
Here are a few of my favourite photos from Lauren & Fraser's wedding day. I hope you like them!

In 16 weeks I'm taking on the biggest physical challenge of my life — a 50k trail run. Easy for an athletic person with lots of free time, but that's not me. I wasn't born with grace and athleticism. And time definitely isn't on my side.
My plan is to get creative with the time that I have, to tweak my nutrition to give me the energy I need and help me recover from the additional miles, plus do everything I can to keep motivated. That's the key.
Why do we do these things? What is it that gets us up off the couch and lace up those running shoes for the first time? What keeps us gong? It's all about finding the motivation.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Tom Raedeke, from The College of Health and Human Performance at East Carolina University about understanding motivation and how to stay on track with our goals. You'll also hear from Eric Orton, the famed running coach from the book Born to Run, and get a peek into my past with my good friend Randy Cox.

LASPA has added antioxidants to reduce inflammation and to prevent skin cell damage. None of LASPA products contain harmful chemicals such as parabens, artificial fragrance or colours, or chemical UVA/UVB filters.
Chemical Sunscreens often contain ingredients that are not only harmful to humans, but not surprisingly to aquatic life and coral reefs. Many countries around the world and some cities have banned sunscreens containing a list of common chemical sun filters in order to prevent further damage to precious reefs and marine life.
LASPA contains only mineral based sunscreen actives, and no toxic ingredients that would be harmful to humans or aquatic life. Protect your environment and yourself with natural mineral based sun care.
La Spa sunscreen SPF30 protects my skin from the harmful effects of the sun. It moisturizes without feeling greasy and is not chalky. This natural product is great for the whole family.
I have been using this product throughout the summer and am very happy with its delicate consistency and sun protection. It covers well with just a small amount and makes my skin feel soft and subtle. I don't wear foundation and this product helps to keep my skin protected and hydrated throughout the day. Two thumbs up from me!
I loved that it had "no fragrence" and the texture is great.


I am going to write about the topic of future and immortality. Both of them are connected because of uncertainty. Immortality is increasing thanks to the medical advances.
On the one hand, I wouldn't like to live for ever. It's because I think that if you live longer, you will have more problems. It sounds great but it could be unbearable. Furthermore, it couldn't be the solution to all our problems, either. It doesn't mean absolute happiness. By the way, there is a song called "I don't wanna live forever" sung by Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik which is included in the original soundtrack of the film "Fifty Shades Darker". The song is a sultry ode about feeling as if life were hopeless without an ex-lover.
To sum up, if you live forever you can get relax about the topic of death but you can also die, for example, in a car crash. I think that people have a cycle, where we have to be born and to die one day. On the contrary, the world in 3000 would have better living conditions and it would be healthier and safer because of awareness.


Royal Naval Chaplains distribute NMBS Bibles to many recipients in a wide variety of locations. This project to print 5,000 New Testament and Psalms includes 2,500 'Surface Fleet' variant destined to fulfil the annual requirement at HMS Raleigh in Plymouth. The MoD no longer provides funds for such spiritual needs and the NMBS is in the process of procuring funds for this project.
This project is to provide a high quality resource to seafarers' chaplains from maritime Christian mission organisations throughout the world. The Bible is being produced in association with the International Christian Mission Association. Funding to begin this project has been requested.
A second tranche of New Testament and Psalms will be produced later in the year a majority of these 5,000 will be for the Air Training Corps. A draft ATC design is depicted above. As a reprint of the Royal Navy Sub-Surface NTP is also required consideration is being given to making this a commemorative issue, acknowledging the 50th Anniversary of the UK's sub-surface nuclear deterrent. This edition could include a picture of Vanguard Class submarine on the cover and a picture of a HMS Resolution on the rear cover.
This series New Testament and Psalms follows on from the Seafarers' Full Bible and provided as a diglot layout. The first two published will be English and Tagalog along with English and Mandarin, with further languages to follow. Funding requests are being actively pursued.
This booklet series aims to explore the concept of worldview in an accessible non-academic manner. It asks such questions as 'Who am I?', 'Where do I live?', 'What's the Problem?' and 'Where am I Going?'. The booklets are aimed to be used both by individuals and in group settings. This project is in development and is, currently, unfunded.
The Cadet's Prayer Book reprint initiative has been funded through a generous donation by Aldershot Church of England Services Trust. This reprint aims to keep the structure of the current Prayer Book, but produce 3 versions tailored to the Air Training Corps, Army Cadet Force and The Sea Cadets. These new booklet should be available in the second quarter of 2019.

Field Hockey, Field Hockey History
HISTORY OF Field HOCKEY – Page 1 of 2
History of Field Hockey
Field Hockey is played by 3 million players around the world making it one of the most popular sports around the globe. It began a long time ago, with records showing it as part of the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece as early as 200 B.C., played with a horn and a ball.
Historical Versions of Field Hockey around the World:
Field Hockey resembles a Chinese game called Beikou that was played one thousand years ago. Earlier records of history speak of similar games using a stick and ball. The Noongar of Western Australia played a similar game called dumbung with bent sticks and a ball of the pear tree's dried sap. Drawings of men playing the game non-competitively can be seen in the Beni Hasan tombs of Egypt's Nile Valley from around 4,000 years ago.
Around the 13th century, variations of this game were played in many parts of the world. The English called the game Cambuca. It was known as Hurling in Ireland. Shinty was a similar game played in Scotland. The French played Jeu de Mail and Het Kolven was played in the Netherlands.
The 14th century brought the game of Field Hockey to the royalty of England. While most of the royals supported and even played the game, King Edward III was an exception. In 1363, he banned Field Hockey from being played, on the grounds that it was an "idle game."
Field Hockey in England:
The game as we know it today developed in England in the 19th century by public schools and the Middlesex cricket clubs in London. The Blackheath Hockey Club was the first to organize in 1840 and played a very rough version of the game.
More than 20 years later, the England's Teddington Cricket Club members were looking for another game to provide exercise in the winter. They started using a wooden stick to hit their cricket ball on a cricket pitch, with a modified set of association football rules. In 1871, this led to games in Bushy Park, England followed three years later by a set of rules. Other clubs including Surbiton and Richmond joined the game. Rules were established to limit raising the stick above shoulder level and goals must be scored from inside the circle in front of the goal crease. The association formed from these early clubs survived only seven years.
In 1886, seven clubs formed The Hockey Association. They continued playing with old cricket balls, instead of the black rubber cube proposed by one of the founding members, the Blackheath Club. The number of players on each team was limited to eleven.
Field Hockey spreads throughout Europe and Beyond:
In the following years, the British army spread the popularity of Field Hockey all through the British Empire. Eighteen ninety-five (1895) marked the milestone of the first international competition in this sport, governed by an International Rules Board. Wales defeated Ireland in this contest three goals to none.
At this time, the game was gaining favor outside Europe. India, one of Britain's many colonies, took up Field Hockey when British service members introduced them to the game. In 1885, the first clubs in India were organized in 1885 in Calcutta. By the next decade, the Aga Khan tournament and the Beighton Cup were in full force. Field Hockey was made the national sport of India.
International Field Hockey and The Olympic Games:
By 1908, the game was recognized for the Olympics, with only three competing teams – England (the inventors), and their neighbors Ireland and Scotland. It truly took on international status when Belgium and France joined.
Hockey was omitted from the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris. This prompted Paul Leautey to lead the establishment of the International Hockey Federation (FIH). The International Hockey Federation was established in Paris in 1924 with Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Spain, and Switzerland as the co-founding members. By 1928, the Olympic Games at Amsterdam permanently included men's hockey as a competitive sport.
When India competed in the 1928 Olympics, they surprised followers by not conceding any goals through all their games. They dominated the next seven Olympics until 1956, with additional wins in 1964 and 1980. Their neighbors Pakistan, took over as Field Hockey Olympic gold medalists in 1960, 1968 and 1984. In Olympics to follow, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia have shown the most consistency at the top in both the men and women's games.
Between 1950 and 1970, Belgian Rene Frank worked to develop the Federation and more formally organize the game internationally. In 1970, The Hockey Association and the International Rules Board merged with the International Hockey Federation, which is the dominant governing body to this day.

Повіт — адміністративно-територіальна одиниця в таких українських державах: ЗУНР, Українська Держава, КуНР.

Західноукраїнська Народна Республіка

До складу ЗУНР входили 40 повітів, очолюваних державними повітовими комісарами. Спочатку їх обирали громади на повітових Національних Радах, потім це право передали Державному Секретаріату внутрішніх справ. Дорадчим органом при державних повітових комісарах були повітові Українські Національні Ради.

Державні повітові комісари керували фактично всіма цивільними організаціями і справами повіту, окрім війська, суду, залізниць, пошти, телеграфу (ці функції виконували спеціальні повітові та окружні коменданти). Були повіти, де Ради мали вирішальний і контрольний голос; розташовані у прифронтовій смузі взагалі не збирались. Державний секретаріат розробив «Закон про повітові трудові ради», за яким нова адміністрація повітів обиралася загальним голосуванням, комісари ставали їй підконтрольними (не вдалося реалізувати через наступ польських шовіністів).

Українська Держава
Уряд Павла Скоропадського скасував адміністративно-територіальну реформу Центральної Ради й використовував адміністративно-територіальний поділ українських земель часів Російської імперії. Українська Держава поділялася на 9 губерній і 2 самостійних округів, в свою чергу губернії складалися з повітів, ті складалися з волостей.

Губернії та округи очолювалися старостами, які керували з губернських міських центрів. Столиця — місто Київ.

З представниками Кримського крайового уряду та Кубанської Народної Республіки велися переговори про входження до складу Української держави на правах автономій.

В Українській Радянській Соціалістичній Республіці повіти було скасовано внаслідок адміністративної реформи 1922–1923 років.

Україна
Протягом часу проведення адмінстартивно-територіальної реформи в Україні були пропозиції щодо повернення повітового поділу. У 2020 році Ганущак Юрій зазначав, що повіти будуть введення в Україні, але лише після ухвалення змін до Конституції України:

Introduction Isolation 1929 Discontent Dominion League Federal League Secession
Campaign-Federal League Campaign-Secession London Failure Forgetting A Federated State ?
Extract from interview with Mr Ralph Doig by Ronda Jamieson, 1984-1986.
DOIG: The States were completely co-operative with the Commonwealth in giving them the powers that were necessary for the wartime purposes, but they were nowhere near as co-operative when it came to giving them permanent powers for the future of Australia after the war. They still believed that the States had a very vital part to play in the post war world and that experience through the years of handing powers over to the Commonwealth wasn't in the best interests of some parts of Australia. It's got to be remembered still that this was 1944, which was only eleven years since Western Australia had passed a referendum in favour of secession by a two to one majority, and that no government in Western Australia was going to be particularly popular if it set about handing over unlimited powers over State matters to the somewhat difficult situation because Labor generally were in favour of increased Commonwealth powers. The subcommittee, which was formed by this conference and which produced a concrete plan for a limited number of powers to be passed to the Commonwealth, had the support of Willcock. He introduced into the West Australian Parliament a bill to give effect to it. It passed the Legislative Assembly and when it went to the Legislative Council it was drastically amended, and that was where the deadlock occurred.
RJ As you've raised the matter of uniform taxation you refer to the fact in your memoirs that the States opposed it "with considerable hostility." I wondered what Willcock's actual attitude was; was he one of those who opposed it with "considerable hostility"?
DOIG: My recollection is, subject to correction, that he was opposed to it; that all State Premiers were opposed to it on the two grounds that I have referred to in the memoirs. The principal thing that they were afraid of was that they wouldn't get the powers back again when the war was over. In the light of experience, they had pretty good grounds for suspecting things of that nature, because the Commonwealth had never been known to hand powers back to the State, unless it was something very unpleasant they wanted to get shot of. In fact, of course, Chifley used this as a pretext when the War was over. He guaranteed that if the States gave them the powers, that he would return them when the War was over. When the War was over, he said, 'No you're not getting them back. My promise was if you GAVE us the powers. You didn't give them to us, we took them, so you're not getting them back.' But, of course, in the long run as things turned out, the States were jolly glad that they didn't get them back. They made noises from time to time saying we'd like these powers back again, but I think they were always a little bit relieved to let the Commonwealth have the opprobrium of raising income tax and then distributing the proceeds to the State.
