At least once a month an email arrives at The Official Shadow People email box from someone desperately seeking assistance in getting rid of a threatening shadow being hell-bent on scaring or terrorizing the person senseless. Fortunately, these are rare events; however, aiding these poor victims is beyond the scope of this website. Admitting that, it doesnt stop my stomach from dropping to my feet when I read them. It is hard to ignore their pleas.
Below are a collection of stories by some brave people who have found ways to either cope with, or banish these presences altogether from their households and working environments. I can only offer stories here to help, but cannot personally endorse any of the methods described below.
For myself, my grade school Catholic prayers worked very well for me. (As a note here, this did not make me a religious church-going person, just a more spiritual one.) If interested, the prayers were the: Hail Mary, Guardian Angel Prayer and Prayer to Michael the Archangel.
If you are a victim of sleep paralysis when you see shadow people, try lying on your side rather than on your back. There is a connection between lying back-to-mattress and sleep paralysis. When lying in this position a person feels more exposed to attack.
Otherwise, read on to learn how others coped. I will add on new information as I receive them.

My cousin came over to sleep over my house. We were staying up watching TV all night, but then she felt sleepy and went to sleep. I stayed and watched TV for like half an hour more; it was like 1 or 2 in the morning. When I decided to go to bed I couldn't open the door, she was sleeping on the floor blocking my entrance. I kept calling her name telling her to get up and let me in, but she was sound asleep. I finally gave up and grabbed a blanket from the closet and went to sleep on the couch.
About 3 minutes later I started seeing this dark figure approach me. It was kind of a silhouette. I didnt notice until later that it was kind of like smoke. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. At one point it was right it front of me, I couldn't move. All I could think of at the time was to start praying. I noticed that as soon as I started praying it started moving back. Then I stopped. It started coming forward again, I started praying again, and again it began to move backwards. The figure kind of seemed like that of a man, but then it kind of went into a big ball of smoke. (I don't know any other way to describe it.) It kept going back and forth between those two things. I kind of knew that it wanted to hurt me, so I kept praying hoping it would leave. I kept praying and praying until the figure of a man just became a ball and slowly started to move back and disappear through a window. After that I didnt even think about it, I was so tired I just fell asleep right after the incident. I haven't even thought about "it" much until I stumbled into this website. It's good to know I'm not the only one who has experienced something like this. ;)

My late night shadowperson experience happened about a year ago. I was asleep on the couch in my living room, when a noise that sounded like snoring woke me. Even though I had my back turned to the room, I could feel a heavy presence and it seemed as though something was staring at me. I turned over slightly to see what was there. To my shock, there was a black, almost human like figure looking back at me with golden eyes. The being was about 10 feet away from me, and it didn't move at all.... it just stared. At this point I was really creeped out, so I told the shadowperson to go away because it wasn't welcome. After I spoke, the being looked as though it walked through the wall, and has not returned since. I don't remember feeling as though the shadowperson was really evil, but it certainly freaked me out.

To: firstname.lastname@example.com
A few times I have relayed this story to close trusted friends and family members about an experience I had 17 years ago. No one knew what to make of it and they all said they never encountered such a thing as I had. Only after reading similar stories did I feel relieved about what happened to me. I am a bit shocked to see how common these 'visits' are although with my Catholic upbringing, I have always been aware that a spirit world exists...both good & evil!
At the time I had just rented an apartment in Houston, Texas and was living alone. As my room was small, my bed was positioned with the long side flat against the wall. Every night I slept with my back against the wall. Except for the faint glow of a far away street light my room was very dark. I recall being awakened out of a deep sleep by a strange feeling of uneasiness. I opened my eyes to find a short dark figure standing up against my bed directly opposite me. This figure was blacker than the darkness of my room and it was in silhouette. It stood there staring very intently at me. I could not make out any facial features or eyes and the outline looked like someone draped in a sheet. It was short, maybe about 4 feet tall. The intense energy of this being was very frightful and I did not have a good feeling about it. I laid there for a time feeling somewhat paralyzed and all the while this figure continued to look at me. Suddenly I reached up and turned the light on and the figure disappeared. I know this was not a dream because I recall distinctly being awakened from my sleep. I know now that what awakened me was the intense energy and presence of this shadow person. It seemed like it stood there watching me sleep almost out of curiosity. I have never encountered it again and hope not to. Its not the kind of thing you want coming around for a visit.
I have made sure many times to say the very powerful 'Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel' for protection. I would suggest that anyone having these kinds of strange encounters to please do the same. He is very powerful in protecting us against the forces of darkness! Trust me, it works!
Archived Story Excerpt: Doorway Ghost
My mother was currently going out with someone who we later discovered was in the Brahma Kumaris cult, (Yeah, was a big suprise to us). Once mum found out about this, i began to wake up with nightmares, very bad nightmares. They were never the same, however, i could always feel when i was about to have them. My body would lock up and i would begin to be afraid. after the nightmare, i could feel something in my room. I would be able to feel where it was too, always in my doorway. I would never look, just freeze up with my eyes closed. I could also feel waves of pure malice and evil from it too, directed at me of course. I would sometimes flick the light on without looking, and then look. I would never see anything, probably because the light was on, but I would still feel it, just out of sight around the corner. To get back to sleep i would watch tv for awhile or something until it was gone.
This was happening for several months and with the exams closing in I needed something to help me sleep. I told mum about all this, and it turns out she had been having the same sort of thing, except she saw "The Hat Man", who seems to be reasonably well known. Mum said she dealt with it all by sleeping with my Great-Grandfather's cross next to her bed. She said it gave her strength. So she gave me the cross for the night.
That night I had the nightmare as usual, and I could feel myself freezing up as usual. However, this time I remembered I had the cross. I casually flipped on the light, looked towards where i feel it, and told it very rudely to leave. I turned off the light and went back to bed.
The next night things heated up a little, probably because i fought back a little the previous night. This time i was woken by tapping on my window next to my head. It startled me, (To this day I can't sleep without the blinds drawn on my window) especially as it was clearly a couple of fingers tapping on the glass. I knew this because i could easily hear the nail of the finger tapping. Again I turned on the light and told it not-so-nicely to leave, then went back to bed.
I wasn't disturbed nearly so much from then on. It helped even more after my mum got rid of the Brahma Kumaris boyfriend. I now never experience those horrible nightmares or nightime visits. My guess is that you need to be brave and be strong when visited by them, a very tough thing to do though. I also found that i was never woken on nights when I had my cat or dog sleeping in the room. I'm happy it has stopped now though, and I hope it never starts again.

Subject: Shadow in the Corner
Two months ago I got a Great Dane pup who barks at everything. He sleeps in bed with me every night and frequently wakes me up growling at something. I always pet him, reassure him its fine and go back to sleep.
But two nights ago, he started barking and growling really loud. This woke me up, I was going to pat him on the head, but as I came out of my sleepy daze I felt this awful pressure. Kind of like the feeling you get when youre in an argument; you just feel the other persons anger. I felt like I was going to be sick. I saw something move out of the corner of my eye.
When I looked up, there was a tall shadow standing in the corner of my room, I'd say it was about six, six and a half feet tall and looked very much like the shadow of a man. My room is nearly pitch black except for the light on my alarm clock which casts a bit of a blue glow around the room. The shadow was as dark as could be, I couldn't make out any features, just its body shape.
When I saw it, I gasped and flipped on the light that's beside my bed. It just disappeared as I turned on the light. I'm 100% sure it wasn't just a shadow in the room, there's no tall people shaped things in my room that could possibly cast something like that.
When it disappeared, my dog stopped barking and laid back down.
I tried to go back to sleep with the light off, but every time I did I got the eerie feeling I was being watched. I ended up having to go back to sleep with the lights on, and even then I still slept awfully. Later that day I went right out and bought some sage which I burned all around the house and in all the corners (my mother used to do this every time our animals began to become uneasy for no reason at all, she was a firm believer they could see things that we cant). Since then, my dog has not barked at anything in the middle of the night and I have yet to see another shadow in the corners.
I hope sage comes in handy to someone out there having problems with shadows, it's always helped my family out.
You have the permission to post my email, story and name on your website, I hope it helps someone out.

Subject: Shadow People
I met my husband 3 years ago and we have now been married for 5 months. My husband has seen shadow people since he was about 12 years old when his father passed away till about a year ago. It has always been about six that he sees. He wakes up in the middle of the night to all six gathered around his bed and until our daughter was born our bed. I asked what he felt when they are around and he said it is always comfort like they are there for his protection or his benefit.
Since the last time he had seen them we have had some scary things happen. We both feel very uneasy when we are alone, i have waken up to cabinets in the kitchen being open. Lights turn on and off on and our sink facets turn on by them selves as well. Even though what we experience is a bit unnerving we have never been harmed, i have learned that if you ask or tell the spirits to leave that they are not welcome they generally leave or make their presence unknown.
Archived Story Excerpt: Darting Black Shapes
I have come to the conclusion that they really dont wish us harm; that they are here when we are stressed, fearful, or going through a period of unstable change. I mostly just ignore them, and view them now as just playful shadows... a bit of a nuisance but a force that is sharing my space whether i like it or not :-)
The best advice I can give is dont be frightened of them. Show them no fear. Try to accept that they share our space sometimes. And if they overwhelm you when you are feeling a little weak or sad or vulnerable... then say the Lords Prayer... and do the sign of the cross asking God for protection over you and your family and your pets and your household. Also look after you, and if necessary leave the lights on sometimes, this seems to deter them.

EAU CLAIRE — Melodee A. Hoffner has been hired as the alcohol education coordinator for the Center for Alcohol Studies and Education at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Hoffner, who started in the campus position Sept. 6, has experience working with college-age students, including an internship in the counseling office at UW-Stout.
"Melodee is a perfect fit for the position," said Jodi Thesing-Ritter, associate dean of student development. "She brings a wealth of wellness education experience as well as a counseling background and a keen understanding of environmental change. These assets will help us to reach our goal of reducing high-risk drinking on our campus."
In her new position, Hoffner will be part of a team of university and community partners who are leading alcohol education and prevention initiatives, said Dr. Nina Albanese-Kotar, psychologist in UW-Eau Claire's Counseling Services and director of the recently created Center for Alcohol Studies and Education.
"Melodee will be an important addition to the Eau Claire team," Albanese-Kotar said. "With campus and community leaders involved in the effort, we truly are a team and everyone has a contribution to make. She is a splendid addition to our campus."
This summer, UW-Eau Claire received a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help support the Center, which includes an initiative aimed at reducing rates of drinking among first-year students.
The Center encourages collaboration among the university, Eau Claire City-County Health Department, law enforcement, alcohol distributors, parents and students in its alcohol education and prevention efforts, Albanese-Kotar said.
The goals of the grant program include increasing awareness of the consequences of high-risk drinking, enhancing enforcement of state laws and university policies regarding underage and high-risk drinking, reducing the number of students who drink and drive, combating pre-college students' perceptions that underage and high-risk drinking are "rights of passage," and reducing the negative consequences of underage and high-risk drinking among first-year students.
The grant also will fund 16 grants for faculty-student undergraduate research projects on physiological, social and other aspects of alcohol abuse as well as identifying best practices for reducing high-risk drinking.
To encourage faculty participation in changing campus culture, the program includes a faculty workshop and a $100 honorarium for First Year Experience course instructors. Local alcohol distributors will fund speakers and materials for the faculty workshop.
The Center for Alcohol Studies and Education is located in Old Library 2104, 2106 and 2108. The phone number is (715) 836-5111.

The Shell is a sound installation, created for the summer project module of the MA. It is an interactive audio/visual book, based on James Stephens' poem The Shell, which can be found in the Linen Hall Libraries poetry collection.
The piece combines various book art techniques with audio, giving the reader an immersive and intimate experience of the poem. While walking on Sandymount Strand in Dublin, Stephens picked up a shell and pressed it to his ear. This poem instantly came to him. Therefore, many of the sonic and visual materials that make up this piece are from a journey made by Isobel to Sandymount Strand, and in doing so, the piece seeks to explore the role of the library in inspiring and reflecting the stories and landscapes of the world outside its walls.The Shell was on public display in Belfast's Linen Hall Library from the 23 - 28 August 2010.

varying coupling and pickup
varying mass per unit length
This paper investigates the possibility of real-time simulation and control of a finite difference string coupled transversely to a resonant beam represented in modal form. A background study of beam physics and modal synthesis methods is first carried out. Then the beam is simulated in modal form using the functional transformation method. Next, the string and beam are coupled together using a unique coupling update formula. Software models are presented first in off-line format in MatLab, and then in real-time as external objects for the Max/MSP environment. The final simulation is adapted for real-time control using a hardware controller and a Max/MSP patch.

Building Lights
Building Lights is a sped up video of an installation, created by the actions of 5 performers dispersed over different floors in the building. The resulting light pattern was based on a score, that starts with a synchronous framework at start, rapidly shifting to an asynchronous one.
This apparent error, that comes with the low tech nature of the work and different performance speeds, enhanced the objective of disrupting an otherwise static façade. Prompting the idea of a building malfunctioning. This resonates with contemporary discourse, that questions the role of the individual in performing and reading space, within the context of everyday life.
Charalampos Saitis | 2008 Dissertation
The stiff string wave equation has four solutions, two of which are related to the string stiffness. In the case of digital waveguide modelling these are ne- glected [Bensa 2003]. Current research suggests that all four travelling waves should be considered, at least at the neighbourhood of the excitation point [Ducasse 2005]. This dissertation investigates the effect of omitting string stiffness in the context of sound synthesis of the piano by physical modelling. A stiff, lossy string with a spatially distributed hammer force excitation is implemented using both a finite-difference time-domain scheme and a digital waveguide model. The two models are designed so as to have the exact same features but for the two stiffness-related solutions. The numerical experi- ments study the contact force signal over time for different initial velocity values. The resulting sounds are also discussed. The results generally con- firm that the two fast-decaying waves cannot be ignored during simulation. The effect of string stiffness becomes more audible in the low register of the piano as the initial velocity increases, whereas in the high-frequency region results are more ambiguous.

Eric Sterling, Esterlina's winemaker and a practicing physician, at his Sebastopol home, which has become the family's gathering place. Its 12 acres includes a Pinot Noir vineyard and a stable. Max Whittaker/Prime for The Wall Street Journal
Steve Sterling and his three brothers never set out to be winemakers. While farming is in their blood—their father was a cattle rancher in California's Central Valley, and their grandfather raised vegetables on 600 acres in Louisiana—they each chose different paths in college and graduate school that had nothing to do with their heritage.
"We all thought we were getting our degrees to get away from the farming thing," says Mr. Sterling, 54 years old, who has an M.B.A. in marketing management.

But after retiring, their father Murio started growing grapes for large winemakers on a property he bought in 1994 in the Alexander Valley, about 90 minutes north of San Francisco. Slowly, the family added vineyards in the Russian River, Mendocino and Healdsburg. In 2000, after years of being growers and home winemakers, they launched their own boutique winery called Esterlina, the Spanish word for 'sterling'.
One by one, the four sons came back to work in the family wine business. Now Esterlina Vineyards and Winery is one of only a small number of African-American-owned wineries in the U.S. Mr. Sterling, the vice president of marketing and sales, estimates there are probably no more than a dozen.
"Most of the barriers are economic, but there's also the cultural barriers because there's a lack of cultural identity, in that people from African-American or Latino backgrounds don't grow up with wine as a staple in their culinary experiences," he says. "The other challenge is that people don't expect to see people of color as the owners of wineries or the owner of the property."
The family pooled their resources and used the proceeds from their ventures and the equity in their properties to expand. Max Whittaker/Prime for The Wall Street Journal
Nearly 20 years after they took over their first vineyard, the family controls 175 acres that produce Pinot Noir—an Anderson Valley vintage won the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition gold medal in 1998—Petite Sirah, Zinfandel from Dry Creek, Riesling from the Cole Ranch in Mendocino and Cabernets from the Alexander Valley.
The wines have been served at the White House on more than one occasion and can be found in restaurants like Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The winery produced about 12,000 cases in 2012. Wines cost from $18 to $95 a bottle, and sales last year totaled about $2.8 million.
Murio Sterling started growing grapes in 1994, and slowly the sons joined the family business. Syrah grapes are shown. Max Whittaker/Prime for The Wall Street Journal
The business was built from the ground up. "None of us grew up wealthy," Mr. Sterling says. The family pooled their resources and used the proceeds from their ventures and the equity in their various properties to expand.
While the family's interests extend from vineyards to a cattle ranch in the Dominican Republic, it is Eric Sterling's house in Sebastopol that has become their gathering place.
Eric Sterling, Esterlina's winemaker, still works as a practicing physician—the only brother to keep his non-winery profession. He bought the approximately 3,400-square-foot, three bedroom, three bath home on 12 acres in 2008 for $2.2 million. He says that he looked at more than 50 houses before seeing this one, a board-and-batten home with beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace in the living room. At the end of a gated driveway with a windmill and a pond, it had an apple orchard, a stable and a 1,000-square-foot, two bedroom, two-bath guesthouse for his parents to live in. "I made an offer the day I saw it," he says.
Esterlina is one of only a small number of African-American-owned wineries in the U.S. The barrel room is shown. Max Whittaker/Prime for The Wall Street Journal
Now Dr. Sterling, 51, is in the process of a four-month remodeling project. He has taken out the original dark tile floors in favor of a lighter travertine. In the master bedroom he added glass doors that open onto a deck and look out at the pumpkin patch and the eucalyptus trees in the distance. He is putting in a lap pool. The stable has become home to two steers that his father keeps as pets. Dr. Sterling recently replaced the apple orchard with 8 acres of grapes that should start producing in 2015.
About a 15-minute drive from the home is the latest addition to the Sterling's holdings—the approximately 35-acre Everett Ridge Winery in Healdsburg, purchased in 2006 for $3.8 million. On a hillside overlooking the Dry Creek Valley, the property boasts both vineyards and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities that allowed the family to stop using outside facilities to make some of their wines.
While Everett Ridge goes back to the 1850s, Steve Sterling says it had been completely modernized when they purchased it, from the crush pad with its 11 open fermentation tanks to the barrel storage rooms to the tasting room. The Sterlings made only a few changes, including painting the array of red, barnlike buildings a soft driftwood color and expanding the outdoor seating area. Scattered around the property, they left original touches, such as two wine presses, a plow and a wagon that date back to the 1850s. Eventually they would like to add an amphitheater, says Mr. Sterling.
All of Esterlina's wines are made at their own facilities using almost entirely their own grapes. Max Whittaker/Prime for The Wall Street Journal
Master sommelier Catherine Fallis, a San Francisco-based wine industry consultant who has worked with restaurants like Michael Mina's Aqua, says the family's wines stand out because of both the quality of their land and the artisanal nature of their production—qualities that particularly come through in the Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley and the Cole Ranch Riesling.
Cole Ranch in Mendocino is the smallest appellation in the U.S., with only one vineyard—Esterlina.
"When you get down to the family-owned business there is a sense of craftsmanship and pride and uniqueness and personality," says Ms. Fallis.

We welcome you to our beach front home on the Island of Kauai!
Lae Nani is a premier resort located on the east side of Kauai. This location means that you have easy access to both the North Shore (Napali Coast) and South Shore (Poipu, Waimea Canyon and beyond). Close to the resort, there are several grocery stores and shops to provide for your needs and there are several fantastic restaurants within walking distance.
Our top (3rd) floor, two-bedroom renovated condo has all you need to enjoy your time here. When Ric's father purchased the condo, before it was constructed, he was advised by the builder that our unit was the best one of the entire complex due to its proximity to the beach, amazing views, distance from the road and top floor location. Because it is on the top floor, there is no noise from neighbors above. The building is situated in such as way that you will wake to the beautiful morning sun as it lights the Lae Nani gardens and ocean out front. In the afternoon, when the sun heats up, the angle of the building allows for enjoyment of the trade wind breezes as they flow through the screen doors and are stirred by the ceiling fans inside the unit.
Our condo does have amazing views of the beautiful Lae Nani gardens, beaches and surf from two separate lanais (balconies). For a romantic getaway, the view from the master bedroom lanai can't be beat and the lanai in front of the living room has a table large enough to eat dinner by plus two relaxing chaise lounges.
Because we are beach front (not just ocean view) you have an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean and the sand is only about 75 feet from the condo. There is a small keiki (children's) pool out front that is protected and perfect for small children who are ready to explore what the ocean has to offer. For adults and older kids we have good snorkeling. There is also a pool for Lae Nani guests that you can relax at and enjoy the sight and sound of the ocean out front. Most days you will look out to see surfers catching a great wave and endangered monk seals often rest on the beach in front.
We listen to the feedback of our guests and are continually working to improve our condo. We travel ourselves and like to provide comforts that we enjoy at other places we stay. Our condo is family-friendly, with a portable crib, stroller, booster seat, games and books for children to enjoy. Free secured wireless internet, Netflix, Amazon Prime, blue ray player, iPod docking station and a phone for you to use not only for local calls but also long distance to the US and Canada. Our kitchen is stocked with a few extras you may not find in other condos, like coffee, spices and staples such as oil and vinegar. We provide good knives and high quality utensils. Our beds and linens are comfortable and we stock your bathroom with locally-made beautiful soap. We have wood or tile flooring throughout and beautiful artwork which includes several local artists – one of them only 8 years old.
As you relax listening to the sound of the surf, you can plan your day, knowing you are never far from adventure.
Keywords: Our unit is a 3rd floor walk-up with two lanai's (decks); one off the living room and one off the master bedroom. The ocean is less than 75 feet from the building.
This unit has been in the family since the original construction. My father inspected the property prior to construction and was advised by the developer to purchase our unit as it would have (he felt) the best view and location in the complex.
The East side of Kauai (also known as the Coconut Coast) is unsurpassed in location and access to the rest of the island. The weather here is in between the wet zone (North Shore) and the dry zone (South Shore). We have a number of great restaurants within walking distance.

Visit Barnsley House and, above our garden door, you'll find '1697' and 'BB' carved into the Cotswold stone. The carvings mark the date Brereton Bouchier, Barnsley village's squire, built the property.
Centuries later in 1952, architectural historian David Verey and his wife Rosemary Verey, fell in love with the house and moved in. As keen gardeners, both spent many hours transforming the grounds into a place that enjoys international acclaim for its beauty.
Rosemary passed away in 2001, and her son, Charles, took care of the property until private owners bought and converted it into a luxury Cotswolds hotel. In 2009, we too fell for the hotel's charms and, inspired by its potential, bought it as a sister hotel to Calcot Manor.
Barnsley House has gained the following awards and accolades since its 2010 relaunch:
Condé Nast Johansens Traveller Reader Choice Awards 2014: Barnsley House ranked number 8 in 'UK Holiday Hotels'
Condé Nast Johansens 2013 Awards for Excellence for UK & Ireland:

'Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100':
Calcot Health & Leisure - owner of Calcot Manor and Barnsley House - the only hotel operator to be included in the 15th annual listing.

Lots of people have been saying that "data is the new oil". Data flows through networks, powers applications, lubricates markets – the analogy makes perfect sense. But it occurred to me recently that data is also taking on a more structural feel. Instead of data being simply a flow, it's feeling more like a foundation. My favorite example is Zynga which was built on top of Facebook which was built on top of you and me. Personal data is the oil for Facebook, but Facebook data was the steel for Zynga. It's the resource they used to build their business. Twilio data was the steel which GroupMe used to build its application. There are many examples.
Data is the new steel.
I like the analogy because it helps me think about concepts like Big Data in new ways. It helps me recognize that analytics are not the only useful applications when confronted with massive data quantities. John D became the richest man in history peddling oil. But the #2 guy didn't do too badly either. His name was Andrew Carnegie and he was all about steel. I'll write more about this theme in the coming days.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Bridgeport landlord who once boasted he'd be acquitted of murder has instead been convicted in a shooting over rent money and faces up to 65 years in prison.
Jimmy Cunningham was convicted on Friday of fatally shooting an unarmed man he claimed was in self-defense. The Connecticut Post reports (http://bit.ly/15h7P7F ) that the 41-year-old Cunningham told court employees before the trial he would not be sent to prison.

Shoreditch is an area of London within the London Borough of Hackney. It is a built-up part of the inner city immediately to the north of the City of London, located east-northeast of Charing Cross.
The etymology of 'Shoreditch' is debated. A legendary early tradition connects it with Jane Shore, the mistress of Edward IV who according to an ancient ballad died in the eponymous ditch....However as the place is attested as 'Soersditch', long before this, a more plausible suggestion is 'Sewer Ditch', in reference to an ancient drain or watercourse in what was a boggy area adjacent to the 'fens' of Finsbury/Fensbury to the west (Mander 1996). Possibly it refers to the headwaters of the river Walbrook which rose in the Curtain Road area.
The legendary associations of Jane Shore with the area are commemorated by a very large painting of that lady being retrieved from the ditch at Haggerston Branch Library and by a design on glazed tiles in a shop in Shoreditch High Street, showing Edward IV meeting her at the goldsmith's establishment her husband kept. This shop was formerly 'The Jane Shore' tavern (Clunn 1970: 312, 493).
The medieval parish of Shoreditch (St Leonard's), was originally part of the county of Middlesex until 1889 when it became part of the new County of London. The parish vestry was the local unit of administration until the creation of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch in 1899 in the same area. Shoreditch town hall can still be seen on Old Street. It has been restored and is now run by the Shoreditch Town Hall Trust. The Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch was made up of three main districts in all: Shoreditch, Hoxton and Haggerston. The whole Metropolitan Borough was incorporated into the much larger London Borough of Hackney in 1965.
Though now part of the inner city, Shoreditch was previously an extramural suburb of the City of London, centred around Shoreditch Church at the crossroads where Shoreditch High Street and Kingsland Road are intersected by Old Street and Hackney Road.
Shoreditch High Street and Kingsland road are a small sector of the Roman Ermine Street and modern A10. This, known also as the Old North Road, was a major coaching route to the north, exiting the City at Bishopsgate. The east-west course of Old Street-Hackney Road was also probably originally a Roman Road, connecting Silchester with Colchester, bypassing the City of London to the south (Sugden n.d.).
Shoreditch church (dedicated to St Leonard) is of ancient origin and features in the famous line: 'when I grow rich say the bells of Shoreditch', from the nursery rhyme: Oranges and Lemons.
Shoreditch was the site of a house of canonesses, the Augustinian Holywell Priory (named after a Holy Well on the site), from the 12th Century until its dissolution in 1539. This priory was located between Shoreditch High Street and Curtain Road to east and west and Batemans Row and Holywell Lane to north and south. Nothing remains of it today (Wood 2003).
In 1576, on the site of the Priory, James Burbage built the first playhouse in England, known as 'The Theatre' (commemorated today by a plaque on Curtain Road, and excavated in 2008, by MoLAS).[1] Some of Shakespeare's plays were performed here and at the nearby Curtain Theatre, built the following year and to the south (marked by a commemorative plaque in Hewett Street off Curtain Road). It was here that Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet gained 'Curtain plaudits' and where Henry V was performed within 'this wooden O'. In 1599 Shakespeare's Company literally upped sticks, and moved the timbers of 'The Theatre' to Southwark, at expiration of the lease, to construct The Globe. The Curtain continued performing plays in Shoreditch until at least 1627 (Shapiro 2005).
The suburb of Shoreditch was attractive as a location for these early theatres because it was outside the jurisdiction of the somewhat puritanical City fathers. Even so they drew the wrath of contemporary moralists as did the local:
"... base tenements and houses of unlawful and disorderly resort' and the 'great number of dissolute, loose, and insolent people harboured in such and the like noisome and disorderly houses, as namely poor cottages, and habitations of beggars and people without trade, stables, inns, alehouses, taverns, garden-houses converted to dwellings, ordinaries, dicing houses, bowling alleys, and brothel houses." (Middlesex Justices in 1596 cited in: Schoenbaum 1987: 126)
During the 17th century, wealthy traders and Huguenot silk weavers moved to the area, establishing a textile industry centred to the south around Spitalfields. By the 19th century Shoreditch was also the locus of the furniture industry; now commemorated in the Geffrye Museum on Kingsland Road. However the area declined, along with both textile and furniture industries, and by the end of the 19th Century, Shoreditch was a byword for crime, prostitution and poverty. This situation was not improved by extensive devastation of the housing stock in the Blitz during World War II and insensitive redevelopment in the post war period.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Shoreditch was a centre of entertainment to rival the West-End and boasted many theatres and Music halls:
Sadly, none of these places of entertainment survive today. For a brief time, Music hall was revived in Curtain Road, by the temporary home of the Brick Lane Music Hall, this too, has now moved on.
A number of playbills and posters from these Music halls, survive in the collections of both the Bishopsgate Institute and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The historic heart of Shoreditch is Shoreditch High Street and Shoreditch Church. In the past the area of Shoreditch was defined by the borders of the parish of Shoreditch which later defined the borders of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch. Since 1965, when the latter unit of local government was dissolved, it has been more fuzzily defined. Contemporary Shoreditch is often seen as the area bordered to the north by Old Street, to the east by the northern end of Brick Lane, to the south by Old Spitalfields market and to the west by Old Street Station. However, Hoxton to the north of Old Street was historically part of Shoreditch parish and borough and is still, often, conflated with it resulting in the names "Hoxditch" or "Shoho" sometimes being applied to the whole.[2]
Shoreditch has, since around 1996, become a popular and fashionable part of London. Often conflated with neighbouring Hoxton, the area has been subject to considerable gentrification in the past twenty years, with accompanying rises in property prices.
Recently – During the second 'dot-com' boom the area has become popular with London based web technology companies who base their head offices around Old Street. These include Last.fm, Dopplr, Songkick, SocialGO and 7digital – who tend to gravitate towards Old Street roundabout, popularising the term 'Silicon Roundabout' to describe the area.
Formerly a predominantly working class area, Shoreditch and Hoxton have, in recent years, been gentrified by the creative industries and those who work in them. Former industrial buildings have been converted to offices and flats, while Curtain Road and Old Street are notable for their clubs and pubs which offer a variety of venues to rival those of the West End. Art galleries, bars, restaurants, media businesses and the building of the Hackney Community College campus are further features of this transformation. However, to the north, east and south, poor quality housing and urban decay is still prevalent. Other traditions of working class entertainment survive on Shoreditch High Street where the music halls of yesteryear have been replaced by the greatest concentration of striptease venues in London (Clifton 2002). On Commercial Street to the South, prostitution was still rife (Taylor 2001: 61) in 2001, but since the development of Shoreditch High Street railway station and other amenities this has declined markedly.
|Old Street
|Bethnal Green
|City of London
In the mid-1960s, the main streets of Shoreditch were formed into a mile-long one-way system, which became associated with traffic congestion, poor conditions for walking and cycling, high speeds, high collision rates, and delays for bus services. The gyratory system came to be seen as "the main factor holding back the cultural regeneration of South Shoreditch"[3] and "a block to economic recovery"[4] . Following a lengthy campaign[5], the then newly formed Transport for London agreed to revert most of the streets to two-way working, a project which was completed in late 2002.
In 2005 funding was announced for the East London Line Extension which would extend the existing line from Whitechapel tube station bypassing Shoreditch tube station (which closed in June 2006) and creating a new station titled Shoreditch High Street at the site of the old Bishopsgate Goods Yard which was demolished in 2004.

NARRAGANSETT – Sixty-six percent of 11th graders at Narragansett High School achieved at or above proficient on the 2013 NECAP math exam.
The achievement represented a 21 percent increase in the total percentage of students achieving at or above proficient, which the Rhode Island Department of Education considers "statistically significant," according to the NECAP scores released last week.
"It's fabulous news," Superintendent Katherine Sipala said of the score and improvement.
Narragansett High School 11th graders also scored well above the overall state results, which indicated that 36 percent of 11th graders scored at or above proficient.
Sipala said the Narragansett school department has been working diligently to improve NECAP scores, especially math scores.
"We've been taking the NECAP for almost 10 years, we know the test very well," Sipala said. "And so curriculum has had to change during that period of time. It isn't easy to change curricula and it's taken some time for all of our curricula – elementary, middle school, high school – to be adjusted to meet the NECAP requirements."
Sipala said adjusting the curriculum involved a process of looking at scores and offering students additional intervention, particularly math intervention, when necessary.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is hearing the case of parents who prayed for their diabetic daughter instead of getting medical help.
Dale and Leilani Neumann were convicted of reckless homicide in 2009 after their 11-year-old daughter died from juvenile diabetes. Now the couple is asking the state supreme court to overturn their convictions.
They say they believed prayer would heal her and that if they took her to a doctor that would be "taking the glory away from God."
Faith healing is protected under Wisconsin state law and under Louisiana law too, but prosecutors say that law does not apply in this case, because…

A 2003 Dodge Ram pickup was destroyed by fire Monday morning at Gerweck Auto Sales' used car lot in Monroe Township.
Members of the Monroe Township Volunteer Fire Department extinguished the blaze that completely engulfed the vehicle that had no registration plate on it and was parked at 15407 S. Dixie Hwy. next to J&R Tractor Supply.
A motorist from Dundee noticed the fire and stopped at a nearby gas station to call police about 5:50 a.m. Monday, sheriff 's deputies reported. It was snowing at the time, and the business was closed.
Due to extensive damage to the pickup, the cause of the blaze could not be determined, deputies said.

Water Protection Program
Wastewater Financial Assistance
Loan Information | Grant Information | Applications and Documents |
Additional Resources | Contact Us
Promoting Water Quality and Protecting Public Health
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program is a partnership between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the states. The Clean Water Act is the primary federal legislation for protecting surface waters and it was enacted in 1977 due to the public's growing concern for controlling water pollution. The reference to 'Clean Water' such as in the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and Clean Water Programs was derived from the name of the legislation. However, everything in the Clean Water Act is actually addressing wastewater and sewer system concerns. Any future reference to Clean Water throughout this website, unless mentioning specific citation of the actual legislative act, are available under wastewater headings/subheadings, a more familiar and user friendly terminology.
The program provides the states with the flexibility to fund projects that address their highest-priority water quality needs. Traditional uses of this program are to build or improve wastewater treatment plants for municipalities; however, new and emerging conservation, agricultural and urban projects can also be funded through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. These types of projects may include urban runoff, wet weather flow, Stormwater and sewer overflows, water reuse and conservation and alternative treatment projects. Besides financial savings, loan recipients can realize significant environmental benefits and help to stimulate local economies.

IGT pioneered gaming machine communications over 18 years ago with the introduction of the Slot Accounting System (SAS) protocol. Initially designed to automate slot machine meter reporting and event logging, SAS has steadily evolved over the years to meet the needs of the industry, including player tracking, bonusing, ticketing and cashless gaming.
SAS has become the de-facto casino communications standard because of its availability to all manufacturers in the industry. The Gaming Standards Association (GSA), representing a broad range of gaming industry manufacturers and operators, adopted SAS 6 as a recognized communications standard for the industry in July of 2002.
The latest version of the protocol is SAS 6.02, which is fully backward compatible with all previous versions. SAS 6.02 complies with the latest Nevada Gaming Control Board Technical Standards for gaming machine accounting, as well as providing complete multi-game and multi-denomination accounting. SAS 6.02 also supports all of the features currently required for a modern casino, including Ticket In/Ticket Out (TITO), system bonusing and cashless gaming.
Over 400 gaming machine and system vendors and regulators worldwide have received SAS 6.02 so far. IGT continues to work diligently to provide ongoing support for the SAS protocol, and assist with the efforts of GSA. You can request further information by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
