Next meeting is on Tuesday 28th August 2018 July Meeting July Meeting We had Sally Sibley, Sally Metcalf, Jonathan Metclaf and Colin Sibley volunteers from The National Trust. The subject was the history and treasure from Sutton Hoo Sally's presentation was magnificent taking us back to the building of Sutton Hoo House, later to become the house and home of Edith Pretty. The excavations were initiated by local landowner Mrs Edith Pretty, who lived in Tranmer House, which over- looked the burial site. Mrs Pretty had spiritualist leanings, and it is said that she became convinced there was treasure in the ancient burial mound because of her involvement with the Spiritual movement, a clairvoyant saw and heard the funeral procession. She also claimed that one evening while looking out of windows she saw the figure of an armed warrior standing on the mound in the twilight. There is also tales that she employed a dowser who divined gold in the mound. Over a number of years Mrs Pretty became increasingly concerned with the history of her land and what lay beneath it. On the advice of Guy Maynard, at Ipswich Museum, she took on Basil Brown from Rickinghall - “a local archaeologist of no formal education” - and he began to dig with the help of her gardener, John Jacobs, and gamekeeper, William Spooner.

National Trust Once complete, the ship sculpture will include a slab in the middle, representing the burial chamber, and etchings on the slab showing where the Sutton Hoo treasures were found. It was, in fact, a spectacular funerary monument comprising a metre-long ship beneath an earth mound nearly three metres high and 30 metres in diameter. The Sutton Hoo grave is remarkable for the majesty of its contents and its monumental scale. Contents A king's grave? By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Notice. The new sculpture at Sutton Hoo. The discovery of the ship burial at Sutton Hoo, with its beautifully crafted grave goods in the Anglo-Saxon style, was instrumental in overturning this idea and revealing the rich culture of the early medieval period in England. Here are some fascinating facts about the Sutton Hoo hoard. Birch would have been used as cattle fodder and the hard wearing oak and sweet chestnut were perfect for building homes and ships. In other recent discoveries, British Museum scientists found that black tarry lumps in the burial were actually pieces of bitumen that had originated beneath the hot Middle Eastern sun before they ended up beneath the damp, cool Suffolk earth.

  • Matisyahu, Identity, and Authenticity by Sarah Imhoff on August
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IUScholarWorks The Man in Black: Matisyahu, Identity, and Authenticity By Sarah Imhoff On August 6, 2006, thousands of fans at Chicago’s Lollapalooza music festival danced to reggae in the sweltering heat under the sun. The performer wore black pants and a gray long- sleeve collared shirt in spite of the heat. Instead of dreadlocks or a knit cap, he sported a full beard and a yarmulke. White fringes hung down in front of his pants, next to the badge identifying him as a performer. At one point, during a joyful frenzy of onstage dancing, his yarmulke came flying off. Without missing a beat, he took the nearby white towel—provided to performers for wiping away sweat—and held it atop his head with his left hand while his right hand held the microphone. He did not want to stop the show, but he also needed to ensure that his head would not be bare. The crowd had surprises, too: instead of a sea of red, green, and black Jamaican flags, as one might expect to see at a reggae show, this crowd had a smattering of white-and-blue Israeli flags. Some sang along with lyrics that called to “Hashem” and made allusions to the Torah. The crowd was a mixture of fans and others who might best be described as gawkers: Was he for real? Who was this observant Jew singing reggae and calling for “Moshiah now”? But one could also ask questions about most of the people watching: Why should a crowd of young, mostly secular pop-music listeners care about a Hasidic Jew? Was it just about the novelty? Critics and fans have already written much about the life, music, and performance of Matisyahu, the most prominent Hasidic reggae musician, and his visibility is still growing.

  • 1 Political Contributions Exelon Corporation's (Exelon) Success
    Political Contributions Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) success depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country. Federal and Pennsylvania law prohibit companies from making political contributions to Federal and Pennsylvania candidates. Illinois and Maryland law limit the amount that Exelon and its affiliated companies can give to political candidates and PACs. In certain other states, corporations are permitted to contribute to state election campaigns. Exelon engages in political activity in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Exelon Corporation, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and PECO Energy Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions (ExelonPAC, BGEPAC and PECOPAC). Exelon Generation Company and Commonwealth Edison Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGenPAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all five PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov. In the interest of transparency for our shareholders and stakeholders, Exelon has posted its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines on its website. These Guidelines are intended to provide corporate governance, control, oversight and procedural guidance for corporate contributions of money, property or services for political activities in Illinois, Maryland and other states that allow corporate contributions to the political process and for political expenditures in areas where permitted.

  • Anglo-Saxons: Sutton Hoo
    Anglo-Saxons: Sutton Hoo Helmet from the ship-burial at Sutton Hoo Suffolk, England 700 AD Visit resource for teachers Key Stage 2 Anglo-Saxons: Sutton Hoo Contents Before your visit Background information Resources Gallery information Preliminary activities During your visit Gallery activities: introduction for teachers Gallery activities: briefings for adult helpers Gallery activity: Excavation Gallery activity: Anglo-Saxon crafts Gallery activity: Grave goods Gallery activity: Burying a noble Gallery activity: Sutton Hoo and Taplow burials After your visit Follow-up activities Anglo-Saxons: Sutton Hoo Before your visit Anglo-Saxons: Sutton Hoo Before your visit Background information The Sutton Hoo burial consists of a wooden long boat covered by a large mound of soil. At the centre of the ship was a wooden burial chamber hung with textiles. In it a dead person lay surrounded by possessions: weapons, armour, gold coins, gold and garnet fittings, silver vessels, silver-mounted drinking horns and clothes (linen undershirts, shoes, a woollen cloak and a fur trimmed cap). All these objects were chosen to reflect the person's high rank in life and would be considered to play a role in the person’s afterlife. No body was found, but soil analyses suggest that a body was placed in the burial chamber and totally decayed in the acid soil. The identity of the buried person is not known. Following excavation in the 1930s it was believed that the burial belonged to a member of the East Anglian ruling dynasty and four kings were considered as possible candidates: Raedwald (AD 590-625/6) king of East Anglia and overlord of the English kingdoms from AD 616, Eorpwald (died 627/8) and co-regents Sigebert and Ecric, who both died in AD 637.

Richard Brautigan, Mark Twain, 4 Maine Guy 5:19 Elizabeth Taylor, and Assata Shakur might visit his lyrics, but it’s the band itself that contains multitudes. 5 People Pleaser 3:12 6 Psy-fi/Fantasy 2:38 Ever since Joan of Arc's most recent lineup— Kinsella, Theo 7 Truck 5:23 Katsaounis, Melina Ausikaitis, Bobby Burg, and Jeremy 8 Vermont Girl 4:06 Boyle—began playing shows together in 2015, fans have witnessed an even more radical democracy at work. Live, old 9 Forever Jung 1:48 jams and new tracks have often melted and mutated, members jumping from instrument to instrument in between VINYL INCLUDES DOWNLOAD or in the middle of songs, all stasis discarded. And now, a series of nearly a cappella performances from Kinsella’s fellow vocalist Melina Ausikaitis, debuted live by Joan of Arc over the last several years, has become the backbone of their new LP, 1984. Thoroughly of the band’s lineage, Ausikaitis’ lyrics are equally measured with wit, despair and stubborn perseverance. Like RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE : the album’s striking hand drawn cover art, the music inside is Tim Kinsella often spare; anthemic highs ring from elegiac lows and back Akron/Family again.
