December to release their final U2 cover 'The Refugee' BY:  SELINA JUENGLING 'The Refugee' is going to be the last U2 cover the Glasgow band will release. December made a name for themselves  by putting out unique covers of U2 songs . Although this policy earned them loads of new followers, the Glasgow band now announce their final U2 cover. Their version of 1983's 'The Refugee', taken from U2's third album  War , will be released on November 6. The trio are currently working with LA filmmaker BK Garceau III who also directed the video for 'The Refugee'. Highlighting the international refugee crisis, the visuals particularly showcase the acute problems ongoing at the US border over the issue. Paul, guitarist with December, said, "It's arguable that  War  was the greatest album of the '80s – when you think about the songs on it. When the rest of the charts in the early '80s were arguably totally self a...

One day..... youngsters will learn words they will not understand.  Children from India will ask:  What is hunger?  Children from Alabama will ask:  What is racial segregation?  Children from Hiroshima will ask:  What is the atomic bomb?  Children in schools will ask: •  What is war?  You will answer them.  You will tell them  Those words are not used anymore,  Like crucifixions, galleys or slavery  Words no longer meaningful.  That is why they have been removed from dictionaries.  Martin Luther King,  preacher, civil rights activist BHP

Nick Gibb the Schools Minister who said the worst possible thing about education that I,  not a formal educator -  but as an informal educator, gasp at his words :: “Social & emotional education is ghastly …. ” It makes me wonder about his emotional life especially in the current climate & emphasis on awareness of mental health - AND  in context of 12 UK men committing suicide every day. Ghandi comes to mind - when he was asked about his tough life 'What was the hardest thing you have experienced?' and he said 'The hard heartedness of the educated.' What bothers me is if education says that  SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL learning is ghastly -  not just not being 'in balance' with academic education. I worry. Where I am coming from is that we need education of the head AND HEART. My own interest in emotional intelligence is on informal education - education of the heart.  I have s...

I have learned a lot over the years. Today not an exception. Strangely  but true we learn more when we step outside our comfort zones or when we are driven reluctantly outside them zones or when the slide gets slippy and we slide uncontrollably. I have spent a considerable few years conducting group work in YMCA Hostels  around London & beyond. I have learned so much from the pain of others. It hurts me even now to reflect back to these BHPs who were struggling with powerful burdens. Often no their own making. Often such a terrible family life or no family life ......... The pain - I feel it. I remember many particular times I can visualise  ............. I have the movie in my heart & head ....... This one time we were engaged in group work when one person burst out with their feelings::- They had just returned from mental assessment session at hospital  and they had been diagnosed!! ...

POVERTY ,  SPORT The poverty that creates knife crime October 12, 2019 Jon Kuhrt My community in south London lives in the shadow of knife crime.  Young people have been killed on our street and the threat of violence continually affects the young people we know and care about. As a father of three children, including two teenage boys, I am more anxious than ever about their safety. Like all enduring social problems, knife crime is complex. If it wasn’t, it would get solved quickly.  I find this model helpful in thinking about the combination of causes of the violence: Resources Of course, a key factor is the most obvious form of poverty – a basic lack of resources .  Low income, insecure employment, zero-hour contracts and the lack of affordable housing all play a role in feeding the inequality which disaffects young people. But in addition, there are the  community  resources which support and guide young people in th...

Illustration:  Carolyn Figel In a March 2019 study,  researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine reported that they had identified and tested a new compound for depression that may work differently from all other depression drugs on the market. As part of the study, researchers put mice in a cage with a bigger and more aggressive mouse for 10 minutes a day.  The smaller mice were bullied and started to isolate themselves by hanging out in an empty corner of their cage.  These   “depressed” mice were then given   daily doses of a new compound called JHU-083, which succeeded in bringing back the rodents’ sociable personas.
