An Introduction to Islam, by Bassam & Shirley Madany.
Middle East Resources, 221 pp.,
Muslims Meeting Christ, by Shirley W Madany.
Middle East Resources, 144 pp.,
August 14, 2006
By Harry Antonides
Many of us are perplexed about the phenomenon of radical Islam, which seems to have come out of nowhere to hit us with a ferocity that is stunning. Islam has forced itself onto the world stage in a way that is unavoidable and without precedent. Yet, questions abound, and we are inundated with conflicting information and answers.
What is the real message of the Koran? Whence the hatred spouted by the likes of Osama bin Laden and his millions of admirers? Why is the Israel/Palestine conflict seemingly without a solution? Is the Islamization of Europe inevitable?
The questions go on and on; and so do the confusion and division about the answers to them. The biggest challenge is to find trustworthy information and true insight about Islam and its impact on the world.
This is where the life and work of the Rev. Bassam and Shirley Madany in their joint ministry to the Arab world fills a very important role. Bassam Madany was born in Syria, received his early education there, emigrated to the U.S. in 1950, trained for the ministry, and preached the Gospel to the Arab world on the Back to God Hour radio broadcast for 36 years until his retirement in 1994. He and his wife Shirley maintain an Internet ministry focused on Islam and the Middle East.*
Previously, Bassam Madany published The Bible and Islam: Sharing Gods Word With a Muslim (reviewed in this paper August 2,2004). Their most recent joint publication, An Introduction to Islam, consists of 33 chapters of interviews, reviews and essays, dealing with every important facet of Islam, its relationship to Christianity, and its impact on the Western democracies.
The reader is introduced to a slew of titles and authors, as well as few documentaries and films dealing with Islam, such as the following: Islam is More Than a Religion; Islam and War; Jesus in the Quran; Missions to Muslims in the Twenty-First Century; Muslims and Christians in Dialogue; The Muslim Challenge to the West; What You need to Know About Islam and Muslims; The Attraction of Islam; and In Depth: A Conversation with Bernard Lewis.
One of the most important facts about Islam, ironically the hardest to understand by secularized Westerners, is that it is more than a religion. Many commentators tend to ignore this reality and therefore do not understand the depth of conviction (fanaticism) of believing Muslims. This is why so much of the public discussion about Islam misses the point.
Bassam Madany explains that Islam views religion, culture and politics as one indivisible entity. It rejects the idea of the separation of church and state. Instead, it has an exclusivist political worldview and therefore has no room for non-Muslim entities (i.e., states) to freely exist within the context of the Household of Islam. (195) It is this theocratic notion of politics that makes Islam an imperialistic religion with imperialistic designs. (163)
The migration of millions of Muslims to the West is occurring at a time when the West, especially Europe, is in the process of cutting its ties with its Judeo-Christian heritage. This is what makes for a confusing picture for these new immigrants. They tend to remain isolated from the mainstream where many find their identity in their religion while seeing around them moral decadence and spiritual confusion. They are convinced that Islam is the superior religion that has answers for all that is wrong with the West.
But the contrast with Islam goes deeper. Islam presents itself as the superior religion because it is based on the latest and perfect expression of Gods law for all times and for the entire world. Although the first centuries after its founding by the prophet Muhammad in 622 was a time of political conquest and cultural enrichment, during the last 500 years Islam has suffered decline and conquest. It blames the West and modernization for the poverty and the lack development within the Arab world.
The result is that the mindset taught by the proponents of radical Islam is absolute confidence in their world-embracing mission combined with revenge toward the West, which they blame for their own backwardness. The chapters in this Introduction provide fascinating insights about this background of what now constitutes one of the most complex and dangerous challenges for the Western democracies.
Introduction is very good at helping us to become better acquainted with the history of Islam as well as its main, immutable source of inspiration, the Koran. The latter is held to be holy and infallible because the prophet Muhammad, so it is claimed, received it directly from God (Allah). Pious Muslims accept the Koran to be the only and all-inclusive authority for faith, worship, and morality. This exclusivist view lies behind the belief that all man-made laws are an attempt to defy Allahs authority and therefore amount to blasphemy, a sin worthy of death.
This central article of their faith explains that ultimately radical Muslims do not hate us because of what we have done but for who we are. In other words, their hatred is not caused by the hedonism and crime within the West, but by their considering us Infidels (especially Christians and Jews, but all other non-Muslims). As the authors of Introduction explain, according to the Islamic worldview, the world is divided into two realms: "The Household of Islam" versus "The Household of War". This belief makes the hatred between radical Muslims and all "others" so irreconcilable.
Oddly, refusal to face this reality is now deemed to be the better part of wisdom in the West. This notion is very much at work in the Western media, the academy and has even infected the Christian churches. Bassam Madany describes how this is happening, and he refers to two films shown on U.S. television and used in public schools. Many of you may have watched Islam: Empire of Faith and Legacy of the Prophet Muhammad. Madany writes about the former: One can hardly believe the shocking revisionism, distortions, and omissions that are replete in this account of the history of Islam. (197)
In the same category are some non-Muslims who are seen as authorities and in fact serve as apologists for Islam, including John Esposito and the former Roman Catholic nun, Karen Armstrong. On the other side, the authors mention a number of outstanding experts and critics of Islam who provide helpful information and insights, including Robert Spencer, Wolfgang Pannenberg, Peter Riddell, Peter Cotterell, Bat Yeor, Bernard Lewis, and many others.
Bassam Madany singles out for special attention the amazingly gifted missionary and prolific author, Samuel M. Zwemer (1867-1952) whom he calls Defender of Apostolic Missions. Zwemer authored more than fifty books and was the founder and editor of the journal, The Moslem World. He knew Arabic very well and delighted in explaining the claims of the Christian faith to inquiring Muslims.
The Madanys take issue with those Christians who advise that we must proclaim a pluralist or contextualized kind of Christianity and downplay the fundamental difference between the Bible and the Koran. These modern Christians think that we should adjust the biblical message by making it more in tune with the notion of tolerance and inclusiveness. Bassam and Shirley Madany explain why the age-old message of salvation by grace alone is the only one entrusted to the Christian Church.
They do a masterful job in showing the difference between the biblical message of a loving God and salvation by grace versus the Koranic teachings about salvation by works and by conquest. This message comes through most clearly in the second book listed. *************
Muslims Meeting Christ is edited and mostly written by Shirley Madany, containing a large number of testimonies from listeners to the Arabic language Back to God Hour radio broadcasts. The last chapter tells the story of this mission to the Arab world beginning in 1958. Chapter 2 consists of a 1975 conference speech by Bassam Madany, The Changing Situation in Islam.
Chapter 8, Pioneering in Arabia, is the story of a remarkable missionary of the Reformed Church of America, Cornelia Dalenberg (1893-1988) who spent more than 50 years in the Arab world. Her speech The Cross of Christ in Arabia, presented in 1936, is a moving description of the hardship and spiritual poverty she encountered. It is above all a story of faith and the power of Gods love to heal and redeem those lost in darkness and fear.
In his 1975 speech Bassam Madany began by reminding his audience of the character of Islam and the circumstances that contributed to its rise since the mid-seventh century. He said:
Of all the great world religions, Islam is uniquely anti-Christian. It has always been a formidable enemy of our faith since it denies every fundamental Christian doctrine. The greatest tragedy in the history of the world is that things could have been otherwise, and that Islam may never have arisen had the early church been more concerned about the spiritual welfare of the Arabs. If only the church had given them the Word of God.
It was not until the early nineteenth century that the Christian churches began a robust mission outreach to Muslims by making the Bible and other Christian literature available in Arabic. But traditional Christian missions in Islamic countries came to a virtual halt after the Second World War. In 1955 Madany had to discontinue his mission work in Syria. But shortly after that, a whole new era of proclaiming the gospel by radio to the Arab world opened up.
Muslims Meeting Christ is really a testament to the love and dedication of Bassam and Shirley Madany in proclaiming the Good News to the Muslim world via radio, old-fashioned mail, and now through the Internet. The responses from the listeners in many Arabic-speaking countries, which make up the bulk of this book, are heart-warming confirmation of the power of Gods Word to change hearts and lives in the most unlikely places and circumstances.
The moving testimonies in this book constitute only a small fraction of the thousands of letters received each year. All of them convey a deep sense of longing for truth and inner peace. Most of them spoke of the radical difference between what they had been taught and what they now learned first-hand about the real teachings of the Bible.
These respondents to the Gospel message were anxious to learn more about their newfound faith, and their letters were filled with questions and requests for the Bible and other study materials in their own language. The sentiment most often expressed is one of tremendous thankfulness for the new sense of hope and freedom they had begun to enjoy. For the first time, they received true answers to the deepest questions of life.
These two books provide a great deal of information and insight about the history and character of Islam at a time of apprehension and confusion, also within the Christian community. Above all, they confirm that where the truth of the Bible is diligently proclaimed and lived, hatred makes way for love, and fear and despair are replaced by courage and hope.
These timely and clearly written books deserve a place of honour in every Church and Christian school library, as well as in every Christian family.

Ideally, you could pay a professional press release distribution service but if you don't have that kind of money, there are a few good free distribution services out there that I myself have used. PRlog.org is one of them. Remember! A press release is not an ad. Keep things objective, detach yourself from your business and write the press release from an external point of view.
There are a lot of things you can do for Search Engine Optimization, both on-page and off-page. SEO will be a constant learning experience and it will require how much regular effort on your side.

Write about your business, find your niche, be creative and express your personality. I for one am still pretty new in blogging and I'm still trying to find my own style. Plus, considering my type of website, it is pretty challenging to find a niche to write about. But I've decided that I'll be mainly blogging about website promotion, sharing interesting things found on the web and generally writing about stuff that other beginner webmasters such as myself would find useful.

A duvet is developed to fit the size specs of a bed. It is, thus, offered in King, Queen, Twin, and other taken care of sizes. For that reason, unlike comforters, duvets do not spill much over the sides of the bed. As discussed earlier, a comforter is always larger than the real size of the bed and may often, even reach 3/4th of the bed near the floor. That being stated, comforters are offered as per bed sizes as well. These large blankets curtain all sides of the beds, thereby, hiding the under layers of the bedding from plain sight.
Advice Mom Never Told You About Fitted Queen Sheets
Coverlets can be broadly classified into two types, woven and quilted. Both the types serve comparable purposes, though they are various from each other in design and density. You can much better comprehend this with the following provided explanation.
Down is frequently rated by exactly what's called "fill power," which is a measure of how much one ounce of down would take up within a certain variety of cubic inches. The greater the variety of cubic inches the greater the insulating capacity of the down itself. High quality down generally has a fill power of 700 or more, by the method.
Since it can naturally combat dust and mold, silk does not require a rigorous cleaning regime. The first two or three times that you do clean silk sheets, however, hand washing in a sink is suggested. Constantly utilize a mild detergent and cool water to wash the product. After a few washes by hand, you can utilize the washing machine without harming the silk. Make sure to let the bedding air dry, which will not take long due to the thinness of the silk bedding. Silk comforters ought to just be cleaned as needed, such as a spill or other stain. It can naturally keep itself clean otherwise.
Simple Ways The Gurus Make Good Use Of Sheets
Fill power straight relates to the quantity of heat you will receive from a down comforter and is likewise an indicator of the quality of the down. The fill power is measured by the number of cubic inches one ounce of down uses up. So if a comforter has a fill power of 450, it implies that one ounce of the down inside that comforter will take up 450 cubic inches. The higher the fill power, the higher the quality of the down and the more heat it provides. Furthermore, the higher the fill power the more heat you get with less weight. So higher fill power implies more heat, and more fluffiness however still a lightweight.
Is the room going to be cold in the evening in the winter season? If so, then a heavy spread, perhaps made of wool, is probably an excellent choice.

You are going to definitely dedicate a lot less above the prolonged haul by picking these more expensive collections to decorate your bed room.
Tips On How To Buy Sheets On A Limited Budget

Hence, it's possible to dispense with added layers of fitted queen sheets such as sheets, quilts, bedspread, and blankets.

The Things You Can Learn From Professional Decoraters About Sheets
The bedspread has to be the right size for the bed. From tiniest to largest, the conventional sizes are twin, full, queen, and king. Full is sometimes called double. There is also a California king, even bigger than a conventional king. Young children have their own sizes. Some beds are not conventional at all. A king sized bedspread is going to be an issue if you have a twin sized bed.
Down comforters are also examined by their weight. Typically, they come in either light, medium or high-weight versions. Winter season comforters are usually those that are high in weight. Normally speaking, a good down comforter that showcases a fill power of 700 or even more would work exceptionally well in a bedroom that's just heated up to around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind, also, that excellent comforters can cost numerous hundred dollars, a minimum of.

We get asked a lot "Will this be perfect?" when we get done detailing.
A lot of that depends on budget of the owner and the condition of the car. This Nissan GTR we just finished is a great example. This car is a daily driver with 70k miles on it.
While it is still an amazing super car, it definitely carries with it the memories of some fun evenings in the form of normal wear and tear – door dings, rock chips, scratches, etc.
While we would love to get a car back to its original glory there are some damages we cannot fix (other than repainting) like deep scratches, rock chips, and deep scuffs and scrapes.
The other constraints are time and budget. We could have easily spent 40-50 hours just paint correcting this GTR. The GTR's have a special clear coat called scratch shield that helps keep small scratches out, but can also make it a bear to polish scratches out once they are in the paint.
In the case of the GTR, we got it back looking as good as possible given time and budget. Is it perfect? No. However, compared to the condition we received the car in, it looks AMAZING now.
At Neospektiv we like to educate our customers and set proper expectations. Perfection costs time and money, how perfect do you want to be?
We highly encourage you to get your new car ceramic coated and protected with a film like Expel as soon as you can after you get it. This will help prevent damage that could cost a lot more to repair later.
And while we love getting in exotic cars that are pristine and immaculate, fresh from the garage, cars like this GTR, while not perfect, make us happy as it is the reflection of an owner living a life well lived.

VGP - The U.S. group Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) has inaugurated an animal feed plant at Hoa Mac industrial park, Duy Tien district in the northern province of Ha Nam.
At the inaugural ceremony
The new facility is strategically located near northern Viet Nam's key farming region and is close to port facilities.
Built on 4.6 hectares of land, the new facilities include a production area, three warehouses for storing raw materials, and finished goods, offices, and a loadout bay with ample space for customer trucks.
Speaking at the ceremony, Nguyen Xuan Duong, acting director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's Department of Livestock Production, said the operation of ADM would meet increasing demand, contributing to boosting the livestock sector in Viet Nam and the province.
He said the U.S. group has actively contributed to the development of the livestock industry in Viet Nam over the past 25 years.
Mr Duong hoped with new modern technology and financial potentials, ADM will continue bring the latest technology to Viet Nam and connecting the Vietnamese livestock market with the global market.
He requested industrial parks and other departments and sectors in the province to continue to support and create a favorable environment for ADM factory to do business in the area.
President of ADM's Animal Nutrition business Pierre Duprat said the building of the plant is part of the group's strategy of expanding to key breeding areas in the north of Vietnam with convenient access to seaport facility services.
He said that the plant will employ about 200 seasonal and permanent workers.
ADM Animal Nutrition is a global leader in animal nutrition, providing amino acids, additives, ingredients, tailor-made premix formulations, and complete feed for the production animal, aquaculture, and companion animal markets.
With more than 110 production facilities around the world and unmatched research and development capabilities, ADM Animal Nutrition provides innovative individualised solutions to support its customers' growth and optimise value creation and differentiation while reinforcing food safety and animal health and wellness.
The plant is expected to help Ha Nam province and neighbouring areas develop safe animal products for domestic sales and exports.

Ordinary 15 Sea Sunday
Vicar's Reflection: 12h July 2015, Ordinary Sunday 15
The saying "Man* proposes but God disposes" is from a widely read work 'Of the Imitation of Christ' by a German cleric Thomas a Kempis who died 25 07 1471. His book has many wise spiritual insights and influenced me as a young Christian. Thomas drew from similar insights in the Bible: 'In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps..' from Proverbs 16:9; and again:- "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21. The Gospel for today has the story of the execution of John the Baptist, brought about almost randomly through a rash promise made by King Herod to a dancing girl. 2 Samuel 6 records the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and David's frenzied dancing which leads to his wife regarding him with contempt. Left out is a section (v6-12) which records the unfortunate death of Uzzah, who reached out to steady the ark of God when the oxen stumbled, causing his death. Although attributed to God, we would see his death as a random accident, for such things happen. We live in a world created by a loving God who has a vast yet personal plan according to Ephesians 1:4, yet random and tragic events also happen. This is one of the mysteries of faith, and a call to trust in God's ultimate purpose. Alex Czerwonka
*Please note that the common use of the term 'Man' in older texts was intended to refer to men and women.

"Linkage Bingo" to summarise and connect key factors
This whole-class game is a great way firstly to summarise issues of cause or effect, and then (most importantly and most challengingly) to link them together in a meaningful way prior to students producing a written essay. The class will be divided into 5 teams and one piece of scrap paper to jot down ideas….
Answer Buzzers for Revision Quizzes
A quick search for "Answer Buzzers" on Amazon will provide you with a link to something like this. They are a great way of adding a bit of fun to team revision quizzes with the teacher in the hotseat as the quizmaster! Taking it further In team quizzes, I usually nominate one person in…
Target Diagrams for Categorisation
The ClassTools Target Diagram Generator is a fantastic way of getting students to break down a key question. Three factors are placed in the centre of the diagram. In the next layer, each factor can then be broken into two examples. In the final layer, each of these examples can then be substantiated with factual detail…
"On School Report!" – A fun way of evaluating factors and individuals
When assessing the successes and failures of a particular historical figure, consider approaching the task in the form of a "school report". This can be the basis of a consolidation exercise at the start of the topic, or an intensive and efficient way of covering fresh material step-by-step. Start by identifying the main 'subjects' that…
Diamond Diagrams for Prioritisation
Overview: Students produce or are given 9 pieces of information which they arrange in order in a diamond diagram. Examples: Arrange outcomes of the Treaty of Versailles from most successful to least successful; Arrange medieval jobs from highest status to lowest status; arrange historical figures from most significant to least significant. Taking it further: Students…
"Takeaway Homework"
In a 'Takeaway Task', students are given the flexibility to design their own project assignment based on one cell, row or column of the table. The task is constructed so that the table in itself provides a useful overview of the topic (in this case, the Origins of the British Empire). When students are told that they will be…
"Factor Auction"
This is a great idea to get students to think more creatively about which factors are the most important to cover in their written work. I think I originally came across at a session by @MrsThorne at the SHP Conference (who informs me that the slide originally came from @JiveSpin – we're a professionally incestuous…
Create a "Fakebook" Profile for a key character
When researching a key character, students could frame and present their findings by creating a fake "Facebook" profile using the Fakebook application at ClassTools. Using this tool, students can create a timeline of a person's life, written in the first person and in the present tense (to help prevent 'cut and paste' syndrome). They can…
Creative Acronyms for Topic Revision/Introductions
For revision purposes, creating memory words, with each letter representing the first letter of another key word, is an effective way of getting students to reflect on factual information and construct an effective way of recalling a larger amount of information. At the start of a topic too, it can also be used as a…
"Create a Google Doodle to represent our topic"
At the close of a topic or as a revision exercise, ask students to design their own 'Google Doodle' to represent the essence of the subject. What symbols, colours, terms could they use? This is an idea from @littlestobbsy on Twitter. (2208 views)
PieChart Prioritisation
At the end of a unit of study about causation, ask students to divide responsibility between factors in an Excel template which automatically converts the percentage splits into piecharts; thereafter they have to explain their reasoning. Here's an example where students had to reflect upon WHO and WHAT was most responsible for the First World…
Causation Diagram Template
The following image comes from an old textbook, and illustrates the respective importance of long, mid and short-term factors in causing World War One. I created a 'blanked out' version which I provide to students at the end of a topic and ask them to decide what factors they would place in the various spots in the…
Create a Subject-Themed Spotify Jukebox
I am a big fan of using music in my lessons. Sometimes this is simply some quiet classical music to help create a calm working atmosphere, sometimes though it is great to have subject-related songs playing as students come into the room or to provide some stimulating source material (e.g. by analysing the lyrics). I…
Create Bookmarks as Rewards
I designed a range of subject-themed bookmarks using an image editing program. I then printed these off in colour, laminated them and cut them out to give out to students as prizes for good work. They went down a treat! You can download my history-themed bookmarks, which look something like this: (961 views)
"Only Connect!"
I have coded this brand new quiz generator based on the popular BBC Quiz game! Provide students with 16 subject-specific terms in a 4X4 grid.

Create a tweet for a fictional/historical character
The "Twister" template allows you to create fictional "status updates" that can then be printed off for display purposes. Students could be asked What are the most important people in this topic? What was their most important moment within the topic? What would their comment be about it? What particular keywords would they use within…
Interpretation Tracker
At the start of the lesson, ask students to write down their initial answer to a key question that is about to be considered further. Partway through the lesson, and then at the end of the lesson, ask them to repeat the process. Students then read the comments. How have our interpretations changed? Whose views…
Interpretation via Triangulation
It is always a interesting to compare and contrast the differing views of students on key questions. When the debate can be reduced to an either/or option (e.g. 'success or failure?', 'hero or villain?') this can be done most simply by students organising themselves along a continuum line. When the debate is based around three main interpretations,…
Museum in a Box
I really like this idea from @ChrisWaterworth, who shared this nice picture of "Our school collection of Borrowers Homes" as a primary school project. This reminded me of the concept of a "Museum in a Box", which would follow on neatly from the 'Curate an Exhibition' task outlined in this earlier post. Once students had decided…
Balloon Debates!
"You are in a hot air balloon that is losing height rapidly. It will soon crash into the side of a mountain because it is overweight. To prevent the certain death of everybody on board, only one person will be allowed to stay in the balloon!" Balloon debates are a great way of promoting research…

When conducting debates in role, get students to create a simple mask to add an extra dimension to the event. Use Google Images to locate an image of the character's face. Copy and paste this into Word. Scale it up so it fits the available space. Print off on A4 and it will be roughly the…
"Design a DVD Inlay"
As a way of consolidating or revising knowledge and understanding of a study unit, students have to design a DVD inlay for a fictional documentary film / biopic. They should give careful thought to the images to include, the cast list, the reviews, the 'blurb' at the back, and so on – using real DVD…
"Guess the Stats"
To get students reflecting more closely on sources, it is a good idea to get the class to anticipate what they are going to say before showing them. The method by which this can be done with textual sources is the subject of this post. With statistics, this can be done in the form of…
"Leaderboard Challenge" for 'Fling the Teacher'
During revision time I start every lesson with a 'Fling the Teacher' quiz on the topic to be covered in that lesson. Prior to the lesson, I warn students what the topic will be so they can revise. At the start of the lesson, I outline the main task for the lesson so they know…
"Design a new page for your textbook"
Students identify an aspect of the topic that is not covered in sufficient detail in their standard level textbook. They then have to produce a page or a double-spread in the same style of the textbook covering that particular topic area, complete with sources, questions and other tasks as appropriate. Thanks to @BSB_Humanities for the…
Sourcework Anticipation Task
After knowledge of a topic has been developed, provide students with a written source addressing a key question relating to the topic, but with key details deleted. Students can then work alone or in pairs to anticipate how the source will look when complete. How will the author explain his points? What evidence will he use to substantiate…
Students design a Hollywood Film about the study topic
A great way to get students familiar with the key events of a historical person's life and consider concepts of significance. Stage 1: Start by outlining the central task [themify_box style="purple comment rounded" ] You are a Hollywood director producing a film about [person / topic]. You will produce a poster advertising your film, including: –…
Image Wipe
Provide students with an image with key details partly obscured. Ask them to anticipate what might be going on, when and where it comes from, and any other relevant questions (see image slideshow for ideas). Then uncover the image and ask them the same questions again. Finally, ask them to speculate about what happened before /…
"Open Me" Display Pieces
When producing a display poster summing up several ideas, students should identify a 'cover image' for each main part of the piece. This should be 'lifted up' to expose the written detail. See the image for an idea of how this works. Taking it further: An even simpler method is to take a piece of A4,…
Design a Cartoon
For a homework exercise, get students to design a political cartoon to illustrate one key aspect of the topic from either a negative or a positive perspective. No words allowed. In a subsequent lesson, the pictures are swapped around and each student answers the question "What is the message of this cartoon?" using the framework…
Challenge Grid
A simple twist on a factual test. Colour code different questions in a grid by difficulty. Students choose which questions to answer in the time available and get scored accordingly. An idea originally shared by @MsLiddell. (896 views)
Living Graph
A "Living Graph" encourages students not only to select the most important events within a topic, but also to rate them (over time) against criteria such as success and failure, strength and weakness, significance and insignificance. Stage 1: Brainstorm: Ask students, working individually or in pairs / small groups, to identify what they consider to be…
Silent Discussion
This is a great way of getting students to conduct some close reading of detailed sources. The lesson is framed around a key question for investigation (which could be about causes, consequences, significance…), and then carefully selected sources are placed at different points around the room. Students move between the sources in pairs, in silence, annotating and…
Modern Makeover: Where would they be now?
Overview: After studying a historical character, students have to superimpose their face onto an appropriate modern scene / character and explain their choice. Taking it further: Some students should focus on producing positive impressions, other negative – in other words, some images are designed to work as propaganda, whilst others could have been produced by their…
Students design a cover image for their topic packs
Overview: When you provide your students with a printed work pack, or even if they have their topic notes in a ring binder with separators, ask them to decide upon an appropriate cover image with an explanation of its relevance directly underneath. The image here shows examples from my Year 10 students, who produced front…
Speech-bubble PostIts onto paintings / photos / cartoons
Overview: Provide students with a photograph of a particular moment in history, then ask them to write speech-bubble PostIt notes to imagine what the characters might have been saying to each other. Taking it further: For cartoons, students have to provide a caption. This works even better if the cartoon has an original caption that it can…
"Keyword Challenge" revision game
Overview: This is a simple game which is a great way of rounding off a unit and revising important dates, concepts and people. It is particularly effective just before students have to produce some written work making effective use of key terms. Instructions Put students into teams of 4 or 5. The first member of the…
Timeline Jigsaw
Overview: Provide students with a list of events running down the page. To the right of the events are two columns as so: Event My Guess Correct Answer Difference William has himself crowned as King of England Edward the Confessor dies Harold Godwineson swears to support William as the next King of England In "my…
Interpretation Exercise – Complaint Letters v. Advertising Blurb
Overview: After playing the Middle Ages Time Machine Adventure at activehistory.co.uk, Sidney wrote a complaint letter to the Time Travel Holiday Agent about her experiences. One half of the class wrote similar complaint letters focusing on the negative dimension; the other half wrote travel brochures focusing on the positive experiences! Examples: This approach can work for any…
Curate a Museum Exhibition
Provide students with a range of images relating to the topic. They imagine they are curating a museum exhibition on four separate walls. How will they categorise the images into four categories? How will they caption them? Examples: Portraits of Napoleon, Stalin or other dictators with a penchant for propaganda. Images of the Middle Ages. Images…
Source Evaluation Overlay Template
Overview: This template is designed to be placed over a written or visual source and provides a scaffolding framework to help students develop source work evaluations skills. Taking it further: Ask students to focus on the issues highlighted in the left-hand column first and make annotations as appropriate. Then they swap with a partner, read…
Peer Assessment Slips
When conducting group work, there is always a danger that certain students might take a bit of a back seat and let their teammates do all the work. To avoid this, provide the students in advance with a 'peer assessment' slip. At the end of the lesson / project, each student should complete the slip by…
Using Hexagon Learning for categorisation, linkage and prioritisation
The ability to select, prioritise, categorise and link evidence is a valuable skill that students learn in History. It is also highly transferable to other subjects. Using hexagons is a particularly simple and effective way of developing these skills. Read a detailed case study here. I have created an Online Hexagons Generator at ClassTools.net. …
Tic Tac Know
Great idea by @sallyluane: 'Tic Tac Know': Write a grid of keywords. Each student gets a point for each sentence they construct using all the words in a particular horizontal / vertical / diagonal line. Taking it further: Get the students to decide upon the words. If more than one student opts for the same…

Digital legacy: Archaeology of the future


text:
An overwhelming experience, a journey into contemporary despair, an electro-shock in slow motion. This is what you can expect approaching Double Negative, the new release from American band Low (out via Sub Pop). What happens when there is a negative response to a negative situation? Is it possible to have a positive final effect, in the end? This question inspires the band that expanded slowcore worldwide starting in 1993 from Duluth, Minnesota. Alan Sparhawk (voice, guitar), Mimi Parker (voice, drums) and Steve Garrington (bass guitar) always kept an experimental attitude through the different episodes of their discography, from the tipycal slowcore albums (the first, I could Live In Hope) to the mutations in albums like Drums and Guns (2007) and One and Sixies (2015) in which the electronic fascination prevails.
In Double Negative, however, the experimental attitude arrives to the extreme consequences, in the different levels of meaning and sound. We are living a very negative period, in which is very difficult to have hope for any future, and it is easy to develop negativity in front of it. Is there hope anymore? Is there something to save ourselves in this poor contemporary world? The lyrics offer only little glimmers, focusing on the discouragement in which we are into.
From the sound point of view Double Negative is a hard experience, very fascinating if you are musically courageous. The band worked with the young producer BJ Burton to obtain the most essential and dark sound they could, and he gave the album an electronic structure based on noise, glitch, deep atmospheres.
If you survive to the fuzz clouds of "Quorum", pass through the melancholic slowness of "Always trying to work it out" and the "dubstep" depth of songs like "Poor Sucker", you will get to the final "Disarray" and its message: we have to go on because somewhere, maybe, there is a little hope.
A powerful album, an unbelievable experience, the best music in 2018 so far.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Kapiʻolani Community College and Honolulu Community College are located in the most livable city in the United States, according to the The Global Liveability Index 2018, an annual report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
Honolulu was ranked 23rd out of 140 countries around the world and is the only U.S. city to score in the top 25.
The EIU assesses which cities around the world provide the best and worst living conditions. Every city is assigned a rating for more than 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across five categories: education, stability, culture and environment, healthcare and infrastructure.
Each factor in a city is rated as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. The scores are then compiled and weighted to provide a score of 1–100, where 1 is considered intolerable and 100 is considered ideal. The liveability rating is provided both as an overall score and as a score for each category.
Honolulu scored 100 for education, 95 for stability, 88 for culture and environment, 91.7 for healthcare and 85.7 for infrastructure.
Pittsburgh was second in the U.S. and Vienna ranked number 1 worldwide.

In our final episode of the season we review academic year 17-18.
Featuring Nicky Old, Director of Communications and External Relations at Universities UK, Richard Brabner, Head of the UPP Foundation and Mark Leach, Editor and Founder of Wonkhe. We'll be back in the Autumn.
Speculation over fees and USS pensions were in the news for much of the autumn, but the first big policy announcement of the academic year came early on in September, when Higher Education minister Jo Johnson announced to a surprised Universities UK conference changes to the TEF that would halve the value of NSS in the assessment, as well as introducing new supplementary metrics that would look at grade inflation and graduate salaries (via "longitudinal education outcomes" data).
These narratives played out throughout the year, with LEO data further remixed by IfS and by the minister into an app competition; grade inflation becoming the subject of a controversial Reform report and 2018's NSS results suggesting that there may have been some partisan lobbying from parts of the sector on the weighting change. TEF's general impact remains a open question- UUK research suggested it was raising the profile of teaching and learning within institutions, but UCAS research in January suggested that less than 1 in 5 home applicants were even aware of it. And subject-level TEF remains a hot topic.
The results of the UCU ballot on industrial action over USS were announced in October, and the long-awaited publication of the Office for Students regulatory framework consultation provided plenty of work. But after weeks of cabinet infighting over undergraduate fees, the major story of the month was Theresa May's three bullet party conference announcement– that the graduate repayment threshold would rise to £25k (a key benefit for the incomes of struggling twentysomethings), a freezing of the headline fee level and a "major review" of the tertiary funding system – later announced as the "Post-18" review. The latter was seen as a major – if insanely expensive – victory for No.10 over a minister and department that was publicly resistant to opening the pandora's box, and has arguably kept fees (which had become a key election issue thanks to Labour's proposals) off the front pages- at least for the time being.
October also saw the publication of an sector circular FOI from back bench brexiteer Chris Heaton-Harris, asking for details on curriculum (and names of teachers) in relation to Europe. The sector's social media's response was variously characterised by outrage and derision – and we never did hear anymore about the book that Jo Johnson insisted Chris was writing – but with Heaton-Harris now a junior minister at the Department for Exiting the European Union, the long term fear is that the whole of HE is being regarded as a part of a remoaning liberal elite.
As the winter begun, the Sutton Trust recommended contextualised admissions, a Scottish report recommended a Wales-esque £8,000 minimum income for every student and the sale of the student loan book swung into gear. But perhaps the most eye-catching development of the month was the Advertising Standards Authority's intervention on "comparative claims" in University advertising. Naming and shaming six examples of what it viewed as sharp practice, it mirrored earlier action from the Competition and Markets authority by using case studies to establish a foothold in an increasingly complex regulatory environment for the HE market.
The month also saw the publication of the government's much heralded industrial strategy. It was viewed as a relative damp squib at the time, but the sector's role in it likely to become much more of a focus when the pressure is on for the country to rally around and rebuild the economy post-brexit.
After December's confusing report from the National Audit Office on value for money, and a Christmas Day and New year's day double punch of freedom of speech and Toby Young, we returned to work in January to find a new minister in post. Sam Gyimah– self styled "minister for students" in the "age of the student"- set about touring University campuses to rebuild confidence in the conservatives, and has also taken his science brief to heart.
When it comes to the sector his interventions have tended to rankle a suspicious sector- his views on freedom of speech, "in loco-parentis", grade inflation, VC pay and unconditional offers have all played well in the press, but position the minister (and what he might regard as his new regulator) in opposition to sharp sector practice in the interests of students- when many argue that the marketisation of the sector that his party has accelerated to be the cause of the problems he highlights.
The treasury committee's report on student loans caused a minor stir in February, and the formal launch of the post-18 funding review provided a fresh opportunity for the government to be seen to be acting on student concerns. But it was Jacob Rees-Mogg's appearance at the University of the West of England that captured much of the commentariat's attention, and as a single story encapsulated all of the angles of the ongoing moral panic over freedom of speech. Rees-Mogg's appearance had been disrupted by masked hecklers, and he had resolved to tackle this directly by getting involved in a scuffle. For some this was redolent of what they viewed as higher education's intolerance toward right wing voices on campus- for others a great example of why the narrative lacks evidence- he did speak, and the suspicion was that the protestors were not even students.
The Joint Committee on Human Rights later in the year produced a report whose evidence sessions had begun in December, and whilst it concluded that the "problem" of campus free speech was not to be exaggerated and was not "pervasive", that didn't stop the press suggesting the opposite. A minister-led round table ensued and new guidance is likely to emerge from the Equality and Human Rights commission later in the year.
In an unusually snowy march the Office for Students finally came to life, but it was the UCU strikes over USS that were to really bite. The scale and depth of feeling espoused by those taking action arguably took both the sector and UCU's leadership by surprise, with the action highlighting not just strength of feeling over pensions, but wider issues of pay, conditions and the general direction of higher education policy.
With further discontent booked in over pay and the pensions issue kicked into only medium length grass, the question for the sector will be how it might rebuild the relationship between university leaders and those doing the day of teaching, research and wider professional roles. There are also likely to be long term implications on student consumerism and fees – multiple petitions and solicitors framed the loss of teaching hours as a refund issue and the Office of the Independent Adjudicator is likely to be considering how to respond to that set of completion of procedures letters this summer.
Widely respected NUS President Shakira Martin launched the report of her student poverty commission in April, joining calls from around the sector to restore maintenance grants for the poorest students. Philip Augar's Post-18 Review panel will have to consider maintenance and costs, but whilst most agree that grants in some form should return there are few new ideas around on how to pay for them within the fiscal envelope.
Unusually, the Open University (and its proposed restructuring) hit the front page of the Daily Mail. The mail framed the OU as a national treasure, and the story briefly (and helpfully) reignited the debate over the collapse in mature students that as been experienced more broadly by the sector since 2010.
May, June and July
As the UK's unusually hot summer began to kick in, UKRI formally launched- and perhaps inevitably the quiet consolidation of seven research councils was very much in contrast to the high profile launch of the Office for Students. The early summer also saw a hastily withdrawn survey from the Migration Advisory Committee, TEF3 results and HEPI/AdvanceHE's student experience survey suggested a moderate uptick in student perceptions of value for money.
Fees and funding were never far away- a Lords Economic Affairs Committee report on the economics of HE added heat but little light to the debate, and a Public Accounts Committee report on the operation of the HE market sat in this space too. Mental health- a rumbling issue throughout the year- was given additional focus as Sam Gyimah convened a round table on the issue to launch the UPP foundation's investment in a mental health charter project to be led by Student Minds. And a UCAS report on widespread use of unconditional offers placed further public pressure on a sector keen to scramble for a still declining market of eighteen year olds.
And so to 18-19
Of course Brexit continues to dominate both column inches and government policy bandwidth, but we still expect plenty of HE policy action in the year ahead. We are expecting Auger's first thoughts in November with a DfE response in the spring; the culture wars over freedom of speech appear to be never ending, and it is hard to imagine that aspects of market concern over grade inflation and unconditional offers will be met without some form of regulatory intervention. On Wonkhe we'll continue to bring the community the latest in thinking, ideas and analysis as the new season begins in September.

29 Nov A Neilson departure won't impact game
Rangers manager Mark Warburton insists Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson's possible move to MK Dons will have no impact on their clash at Tynecastle on Wednesday night.
The 36-year-old Gorgie boss is reportedly on his way south for talks with the English Football League club who confirmed on Monday that they made an official approach.
It looks like Neilson, who played under Warburton at Brentford, could be in charge of the Edinburgh side for the last time against the Light Blues.
However, the Gers boss believes the Hearts players will not lose focus as they look for the win that will take them above the Ibrox side and Aberdeen into second place in the Ladbrokes Premiership.
He said: "All I know is I had Robbie at Brentford, he was a top professional as a player, he is a very talented manager and he has a very big future in the game.
"I like him enormously. I am very impressed with Robbie and he has a very bright career ahead I am sure but I am only focused on Rangers and he will deal with what he has to deal with.
"It doesn't (impact), it is about your relationship with the players and I am sure Robbie has a very strong relationship.
"The most important people are the players.
"We do what we do in our capacity but at the end of the day it is about the players.
"It is an important game tomorrow night and I am sure their focus will be as equally as strong as ours.
"It doesn't affect our preparation, we go there and respect them but it is just about Rangers from our perspective."
