Now some seventeen years after the ship's discovery in 2002, the conservation process is nearing completion. The timbers have been cleaned and recorded, and the majority have finished the ammonium citrate and PEG stages and are now being freeze-dried. The freeze-drying is being carried out primarily by the York Archaeological Trust, but some timbers were too large for their facilities and were instead sent to the Mary Rose Archaeological Trust.
In late 2014 the Project moved from its original base in the Maesglas industrial estate to the current site just south of the Spytty retail park. Visitors to the Ship Centre can see many of the conserved timbers in the two environment-controlled stores, along with a number of artefacts and some of the first pieces to be put back together. Many of the other artefacts from the ship are on display in Newport Museum.
Work led by Professor Nigel Nayling, a timber specialist at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, has established that the trees used to construct the ship were probably felled in the upland interior of the Basque Country around 1449. This research was carried out in coordination with experts from Iberia, and has contributed greatly to the building of much fuller tree-ring databases for that area.
Most recently (autumn 2018) our Basque friends have further identified the actual woodland from which our timbers were harvested and together we are following this trail further in the hopes of finding out more information about our Ship.
Meanwhile, the recording of each timber using 3D-spacing technology has allowed for a 1:10 scale 3D printed model to be produced, on display at the Ship Centre.
This is currently being 'upgraded' to show the 'capital reconstruction' of our Ship – with higher stern- and fore-castles than originally suggested.
In 2014 the fruits of over a decade of study allowed for the publication of a comprehensive article in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology (Volume 45, No. 2, September 2014) summarising the finds so far. An article on the ship's dendrochronology (tree-ring data) was published in the same volume.
In that year we hosted a sell-out conference in conjunction with the University of Bristol 'The World of the Newport Ship' which has now been followed up with the papers from the contributors published in there most complete form. This wonderful volume is available from the Cabin in the Ship Centre and Guidebook and Book.
As the conservation stage moved towards completion the project is planning the next phase "reassembly", part of which will be to find a permanent home for the reassembled ship. The Friends continue to help fund the project and raise awareness about this extraordinary vessel.
The repairs or refitting of the ship was interrupted; we can't be sure how or why, and the ship toppled over and was left to sink into the riverbed

[Viewpoint]Rewriting our history
The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology recently began revising social science textbooks including those involving modern history and the economy.
For a ministry responsible for inspecting and approving textbooks, the project is natural and marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of modern Korea.
Teaching students unbiased historical and economic viewpoints is the most important function of a textbook. Borrowing an expression from French philosopher Ernest Renan, history is a nation's soul.
Forming a consensus about our history can help establish our identity and unify our people.
Textbooks can foster a better understanding of both liberal democracy and the market-based economy. However, Korea's textbooks have been criticized repeatedly for their failure to do so.
Many parents have complained that they cannot debate Korea's modern history with their children at the dinner table. There is a divide between the history that the parents have experienced and the history written in textbooks.
This is wrong.
Because of faulty historical education, even the military academy and army has trouble educating and disciplining their students and soldiers.
Among countries that became independent after the Second World War, Korea is the only one that simultaneously achieved industrialization and democratization.
The reason for this is clear.
Korea was built on the foundation of the principles of liberal democracy and a market economy, respecting an individual's freedom, equality and property rights.
That was possible because Korea formed an alliance with the United States and became a member of the liberal world.
Despite this, some of the current textbooks describe our country as a product of national division, painting the past 60 years as an embarrassing failure.
Many include groundless criticism of the principles of market economy, which brought us economic prosperity.
Some blame the United States for the North-South division and foster anti-American sentiments. Such a misunderstanding has frequently been noted by scholars and economists. Yet it still makes its way into textbooks.
It is fortunate, albeit belated, that the Education Ministry has begun a review aimed at revising faulty textbooks.
In a liberal democratic society, inspection and approval of a textbook can never be the state's unilateral decision. It always needs the public's review and approval.
It is important that textbooks be based on solid research and reflect historical consensus. As such, the narratives of current textbooks must be fundamentally revised. If the revision takes time, special classes should be organized to mark the 60th anniversary of the nation's modern foundation. Those classes must correct inaccurate historical perspectives.
Our history textbooks should center on how the Republic of Korea was established, as well as the hardships this entailed and the difficulties our development faced.
When we divide our 5,000-year history into two parts, with the foundation of Republic of Korea somehow inexplicably appearing at the center, our history is nothing short of a miracle. After reaching the "middle," our nation made more achievements than in thousands of previous years.
The history before the founding of the republic should focus on important events that are necessary to comprehend, including the independence movement during the Japanese colonization period.
There is no need to mix the history of North Korea after the national division with our modern history. Not mixing these the two would have prevented the unbelievable mistake in current textbooks that directly compared the Saemaeul (New Village) Movement of the South and the Chollima Movement of the North. These are, in fact, two completely different concepts.
Recently declassified documents of the former Soviet Union show that immediately after Korea was liberated from Japan, Joseph Stalin ordered that an independent regime be established in the North. New interpretations of history based upon such information available in the post-cold-war world should be reflected appropriately in new textbooks.
Revising textbooks to help our younger generation learn correct historical and economic views is an urgent task that cannot be further delayed.

I appreciate your visiting my website. When I have published books in the past, there has always been some tension between my own thinking and the ideas of the publishers and editor. Book publishers have the belief that shorter is always better, so they cut cut cut. Often they are right, but not always. In some cases, chapters that I have felt were vital to the message and methods of a book were deleted in the interests of making the book shorter.
My book, Feeling Good Together, describes a new approach to understanding and healing trouble relationships. The last chapter, which the editor deleted, was on the connection between psychotherapy and spirituality. I am not referring to any particular religion, but rather to some of the deeper themes that are common to many of not all religions. I have always felt sad about the elimination of this chapter from the book, so I decided to edit it a bit (since publishing it out of context might be confusing) and publish it right here on my website.
Let me know if you like it, and if you'd like me to publish more of the "lost chapters." I'll give you an ultra short survey when you're done.

New Land Rover Defender: 5 features that define an icon
South Africa, 18 November 2019
Land Rover has defined all-terrain capability and toughness from the conception of its very first 4x4. The Defender and Series models before it, have gone above and beyond for decades, securing iconic status for their ability to help people make more of their world.
Though its distinctive overall silhouette makes the New Defender as instantly recognisable as the original, there are a number of iconic features which have been passed on through generations of Series Land Rovers and Defenders since the original appeared at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948.
The New Defender takes these much loved characteristics and reimagines them for the 21st century. Here's a list of five features which contributed to the Defender's iconic status, and all of them can be found on the latest iteration:
Alpine windows
A defining feature of all Defenders, Alpine windows in the upper-rear roof area are specially designed to let light into the cabin. The Alpine name also alludes to their original purpose - offering scenic views when touring mountain ranges.
Side–hinged tailgate
A tailgate that swings open like a conventional door has been a trademark of all Defenders, right through to today. The design helps give the New Defender its unique rear profile, while also allowing a mounting place for the spare wheel. Featuring a strong four-layer design, the Defender tailgate's hinge and strike plate have been subjected to 30,000 test slam cycles in temperatures from -30 to +80 degrees Celsius.
Externally mounted spare
Whether fixed to the bonnet in the early days or on the tailgate later on, the iconic Land Rover's spare wheel has always been handily mounted externally. Apart from being a visual Defender trademark, this mounting position helps achieve a short rear overhang, and therefore steep departure angle. The Defender's spare is secured with heavy duty locking wheel nuts.
Rugged steel wheels
Though alloy wheels are far more commonplace today, rugged steel rims are a requisite option on all Defenders. The New Defender comes with optional 18-inch pressed steel wheels in Gloss White and offroad tyres with an outside rolling diameter of 815mm - the largest across the entire Land Rover family.
Pale green hue
Right from the very first Series 1 Rovers, when colour choice was dictated by surplus aircraft paint, the iconic 4x4 has come with pale green body panels. More recently the Heritage Edition Defender was finished in a throwback Grasmere green. The New Defender is available with the latest iteration of the historic colour - Pangea Green.
Massimo Frascella, Creative Director, Land Rover Design, said: "For us designers, nothing comes close to redesigning the last automotive icon. The design of the New Defender is a manifestation of our modernist design philosophy, elemental yet incredibly sophisticated."
The New Defender 110 is scheduled for South African launch in the first half of 2020 with a short wheelbase 90 derivative set to follow later in 2020.
"The New Defender is respectful of its past but is not harnessed by it. This is a new Defender for a New Age. Its unique personality is accentuated by its distinctive silhouette and optimum proportions, which make it both highly desirable and seriously capable – a visually compelling 4x4 that wears its design and engineering integrity with uncompromised commitment."
Gerry McGovern
Chief Design Officer, Land Rover

Pay Study To Lead Summer Talks At City Hall
May 27,2010 by DispatchAdmin
OCEAN CITY — This week,
as the Mayor and Council enjoyed a respite from their scheduled weekly
meetings, City Manager Dennis Dare was putting the finishing touches on a
salary study that is expected to be one of the main political talking points in
what could be a rather quiet summer at City Hall.
Historically, after the
Mayor and Council passes the annual budget, the focus shifts from lengthy
debates about things that could affect the way the town operates, to just
merely operating the town and tending to the millions of summer visitors.
"Usually, it is a little
bit slower in the summer time, because we've been working so hard all year to
get the budget and the town ready for the summer and once the summer gets here
everyone is too busy working hard to cater to Ocean City's guests to sit down
at City Hall and get into huge political discussions," said Mayor Rick Meehan.
"But, I think the salary study that Dennis is working on will probably be one
of the big things we'll be working on and talking about."
Dare was tasked with
putting together a comprehensive study of employee salary structures,
specifically for new hires, by Councilman Jim Hall several months ago, and the
fact that Dare hadn't completed the study by last week's first reading of the
fiscal year 2011 budget made Hall vote against the budget's passage.
"I voted against it
because I have been asking for over a year to address the issue of a new pay
and benefits structure for new employees and I still haven't gotten it", said
Hall last week. "I'm very disappointed and I just can't move forward and not
address that."
Hall went on to say that
he believed that if the town didn't restructure its pay and benefits package
for new hires in the future, that it would have extremely adverse consequences
for the town's proverbial bottom line.
"If we don't address
this, it's going to break the city in the long run, and we can't just keep
moving ahead with this old pay structure. I just won't have it," said Hall.
Dare contested that
compiling the information that Hall requested was time consuming and deemed to
be not as important as preparing and presenting the budget, but he claims that
he is awaiting some feedback from the private sector about comparable
statistics to what they pay their employees. Dare also says that it is
difficult to find feasible comparisons locally.
"It's not like we are
competing with other industries here on the island," said Dare. "We are a
resort destination that is comprised of a lot of service-oriented positions
that are historically on the lower end of the pay scale. We've compiled a
comparison list from other municipalities and that's been easy because all of
that information is public record, but sometimes, the private sector is less
willing to give out their information."
Dare expects to present
the study in a few weeks and hopes to provide benchmarks for full-time
positions in the town's hierarchy and compare what the town pays those
positions to what other areas are paying their people in those same positions.
"We have to stay
competitive with what other places are paying their full-time people if we want
to recruit and retain them," said Dare. "I think that people look at the
salaries of the top 100 people and think that everyone on the town's payroll is
making six figures because that just isn't true. What was listed was
predominantly a list of senior members of the town's workforce that have been
here for 25-30 years, so that list is more of a snapshot of salary structure,
and not the big picture."
Meehan, on the other
hand, says that another part of the so-called big picture is perhaps
generational.
"It's human nature to
look at what someone is making and point out that they think someone is getting
a better deal than they are," said Meehan. "If you look at not only what people
are spending on college educations these days, and then what the starting
salaries are when they get out of those schools, it is very much different than
someone who recently retired after working for 30 or 40 years. We are going to
look at it closely and more than likely, have a lengthy discussion about where
we are and where we should be."
Dare conceded that thus
far, he's finding the salary structure in Ocean City to be "right about there"
with other pay scales in governments, and he noted that the city has done
studies like this in the past.
"We've done exercises
like this on an annual basis for quite some time," said Dare. "This time
around, we are trying to be even more thorough and extensive with our report
because of the interest from the council, but we have always strived to make
sure that what we are paying our people is not below or above what the market
is dictating. We have to stay competitive."
Last summer, after the
council set the tax rate at 39.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, which is
the same tax rate officials are on the brink of passing this year, the hot
button topic of discussion for the Mayor and City Council in 2009 was what to
do with the proliferation of Salvia Divornium in some of the resort's Boardwalk
The council, in the name
of public safety, voted through emergency ordinance to ban the substance and
the sale of the substance from the city limits.
Recently, the General
Assembly in Annapolis followed suit and banned the substance as well at the
state level.
Although Meehan doesn't
expect another issue like Salvia to come up this year, he says that he expects
there to be much discussion throughout the summer season at City Hall.
"We've got lots of
things to talk about and we are going to closely monitor how the town runs this
summer since we've made so many departmental changes and we are working with a
much more diminished staff," said Meehan. "We need to see if the right-sizing
of our staff and government is working out just right when the summer reaches
full tilt."


When a betrayal can take place in a relationship it can be very upsetting and it can be filled with great emotional intensity. Feelings of guilt, sadness, anger and misplace of trust can be just some of the emotions that may be involved.
However bad and intense the emotions may be, it is possible to overcome the betrayal if both individuals want to overcome it and move forward, however, this is not an easy task and nor will it be to everyone's liking. It will be a hard, painful task for both of you but if both of you are willing to commit to repairing the damage, rebuilding the trust and reconnecting with each other then it can be done.
Before you do this both of you need to make the first fundamental changes together, the unfaithful spouse should stop seeing or speaking to the other person and be honest with their spouse and be willing to answer all the questions that their spouse may have in regards to their betrayal, and for the betrayed partner, you need to try and set aside the overwhelming anger and despair in order to learn more about what has happened and reasons as to why it has happened so the necessary changes can be made to improve the relationship.
Below are more tips that you could use to help rebuild your relationship further.
The pain of betrayal can be a heavy one and can take time to repair. Don't expect for repairs to take place instantly as it will take time, patience and hard work.
When there has been betrayal, often the partner who has been betrayed will have many questions for the unfaithful partner. Willingness to talk can rebuild the trust and can show your partner that you have no more secrets. If the unfaithful partner leaves out details that emerge later, the betrayed spouse will only feel even more betrayed later on, so it's important to be open and honest.
The person who has done the betrayal has to admit that they have done wrong. They have to take responsibility for their actions to be truthful, honest and willing to cooperate with everything in order for the relationship to move forward.
This will take time, but your actions have to match your words, so spend time together and rebuild the love you have for each other. Try to focus on the good memories and the positive day to day outcomes to move forward.
Even though you have decided to stay together, inevitably something will have changed in your relationship and will be different. Therefore you will be grieving together what you have lost and looking forward to the newly changed relationship.
It is important to not only listen to each other but to hear each other and then talk to each other so that you can try and understand each other and support each other by giving each other what you need.
As a couple use the incident of the betrayal to reflect upon to help you in the case of repeat episodes. Look back at what happened, identify how and when and write down the path to its occurrence. Then write out what each of you would do differently at each step so that you will stay safe in similar future circumstances.
Start identifying the weak areas in your relationship and then look to strengthen these areas in your future together. The stronger your skills for talking together about sensitive issues the less likely you will be to drift apart to let the anger rift lead into resentments or fights.
Look for a therapist that can assist you to work through your emotions together. There is a reason why the betrayal happened and counselling will help to understand the underlying unmet needs of the relationship and help you to build a stronger relationship.

Home > Blog > Where Should You Sit At Your Wedding?
Viva Max Kaley, creator of Viva Max Weddings, is here today to discuss seating options for your special day. Thanks, Viva!
Your guests want nothing more than to feel like they're a part of this experience with you, so where the wedding couple sits says a lot. We all know seating plans in general can be challenging to execute, but if you consider these options to discover what works best for you, it will alleviate stress for you, your partner, and everyone invited to the affair!
A head table is the perfect option when you want a visual of your core crew and don't want to be separated from your guests. The size of the table depends on how many people are in your closest circle, what size fits in the space, and what size tables are available to rent at your venue. This seating option is best used when there is a large family or group of attendees (e.g. many siblings, a large wedding party, etc.).
Another common seating option is the sweetheart table. It's nice for the newlyweds to have a moment away from other people to sit and eat in peace. It's a chance for some breathing room. You can keep it traditional with the elements of decoration, or spice it up with a cool backdrop or fun tablecloth. It can be a design focal point in the room.
A sweetheart table also comes in handy when there are more complex family dynamics that you need to manage – perhaps there are multiple parents on both sides, and it would otherwise be difficult to decide with whom you're seated. Sometimes not sitting with anyone is the most diplomatic choice.
The last option is a standard table – a regular sized guest table without any added decorations or flowers to make it the focal point of the room. Many of my couples choose this arrangement because they prefer not to be the center of attention, and would rather sit amongst the guests.
However, whichever table you choose will still end up being highlighted as the VIP section – after all, you're the stars of the show! It's definitely an honor to sit with the couple so though it won't stand out visually, the table choice still needs to be intentional.
Be sure you have clear sightlines to the dance floor, allowing easy access for special dances and speeches throughout the night.
The most important thing to consider when choosing your seating option is the personalities of the key players involved. Know yourself, your closest friends, and your family – no one is changing just for this wedding. If you already know that you don't enjoy being the center of attention, seat yourself at a table that looks like all of the other ones.
If family members have strong opinions on whether they're seated with you, next to you, or on the other side of the room, try to choose a seating plan that will make the most people comfortable, so on the day there will be fewer outbursts and challenges. It's worth taking the time to balance all of the personalities in advance rather than hoping they'll change just for this day. During dinner you will most likely be working the room, visiting your guests at their tables, dancing and having fun so don't stress it too much!
I hope you found these seating ideas helpful. Please feel free to share your seating arrangements and table preferences along with any other thoughts in the comments!

FOI-avoidance or good records management? Cabinet Office Email Policy
Whitehall Ornithology
Mr Gove's Internal Review
FOIMan wonders if 90 day retention of email by the Cabinet Office is a conspiracy, or if it could be a (clumsy) attempt at governance.
The FT has a piece this morning stating that the Cabinet Office routinely deletes email after 90 days. It argues that this is evidence of the Cabinet Office deliberately avoiding FOI. Cue outraged voices from all quarters.
However, this may not be the dark conspiracy that everyone supposes. Email causes significant problems for those responsible for managing information in all organisations. Despite the fact that it has been around for years, there is no generally accepted approach to managing it. Records management consultant James Lappin wrote a really good piece a couple of years ago outlining the options and their shortcomings. Amongst them is the option of automatically deleting email after a short period.
The argument in favour of this policy is that most email is ephemeral. Keeping it all forever isn't an option for various reasons (including data protection requirements). But some emails are important records. What you need is to identify a way to encourage staff to file the important emails. But staff tend to put off filing. So the aim of the 90 day retention policy is to force staff to file key email because if they don't it will be gone forever.
There are of course weaknesses with this policy. Staff may still fail to file things and then they are lost. It is usually easy for staff to find ways to get round the policy by creating folders and moving all their email into them in bulk before the 90 days is up. Their intention is to get round to weeding and filing them at some point but it never happens. As the FT article demonstrates, the policy can be readily misinterpreted. But it is a policy widely adopted because at least it is an attempt to manage the chaos of the email server.
My understanding is that this policy was adopted by many government departments in 2004. It was a policy that we adopted at the Greater London Authority possibly at my suggestion (it's a long time ago). The intention – at least on my part – was to manage email, not to bypass FOI. As I've previously argued, retaining everything would be impractical – it might even reduce the likelihood of information being disclosed, as the section 12 limit would more often be an issue. And I should be clear – the intention was never that all emails would be deleted; it was to encourage staff to take action by identifying and keeping the emails that were formal records. My strong suspicion is that staff in the Cabinet Office are encouraged to do the same. This is not about deleting ALL emails; staff should be saving emails which document key decisions within whatever records management system is in place within the Cabinet Office.
One of the reasons I advocated it was that it was a policy which had been adopted by a previous employer. That employer wasn't in the public sector, and didn't face the prospect of receiving FOI requests. I saw it as a legitimate and established way to address the management of email.
None of this is to say that the policy hasn't become a convenient way for the Cabinet Office to avoid having to answer certain questions. As a policy it has significant weaknesses and it is not necessarily one which I would advocate now. Given the complaints made by the officials quoted by the FT, the approach doesn't seem to be working well for the Cabinet Office's staff (although it's also possible that those quoted ignored the instructions they were given on email filing). If I was advising the Cabinet Office (not very likely, I grant you), I would be advocating a different approach, not least because of the obvious reputational harm that it is causing.
As I've written before, records managers do need to consider the political ramifications of their advice and policies. But my strong suspicion is that the 3 month email policy was not – at least initially – proposed as a way to avoid FOI. It was just one of many options for managing email – and every single approach that I've ever used or read about has its shortcomings.
Are journalists paranoid about FOI?
Practically Speaking Part IV – take it to the (appropriate) limit
London councils: how good are they at FOI?
I'm interested in what approach you would/do recommend, if only as the least bad option?
June 17, 2015 at 12:28 pm 8 years ago
There are several methods – none of which are perfect.
1. Keep everything forever – not practical/compliant as this would include personal data which shouldn't be kept longer than necessary. Furthermore even though server space is cheap, it still costs.
2. The approach of the Cabinet Office but with varying retention periods. 12 months is common.
3. Some kind of auto-capture/classification. Technology in this area has moved on a lot, but might still result in the wrong things being retained or filed.
4. Retain whole email accounts, at least for key figures, but put onus on staff to remove personal data/private email. Sort of the opposite of what the Cabinet Office does. But still compliance risks, and relies on staff following rules.
5. Some sort of hybrid approach.
My personal thinking is that a combination of 3 & 4 would be preferable. The best solution would be that the Govt recognise there is a serious issue here and give The National Archives funding to develop a workable approach for all of government. The problem is that this is seen purely as a basic admin issue. It's really very complex and needs serious thought. Recommend James Lappin's writings on this whole subject.
June 17, 2015 at 8:43 pm 8 years ago
If the home office had been doing this then presumably we would not have seen the emails where they tried to offer 'comforting' advice to companies trying to do something that they ought to have known was legally questionable. Couple that with the number of un-minuted meetings on that same subject and it's impossible to trust the cabinet office to reliably file important emails.
If anything the failure to do so is pretty much guaranteed when you look as past behaviour, both to keeping records and to FoIA generally (the cabinet office in particular has managed to get on the ICO naughty list in the past for failing to respond acceptably if memory serves).
I'm assuming that they would be running the same searches in Outlook – or whatever system they use – with the only difference being the date range, so would section 12 really be that likely to apply here?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/06/17/downing_street_secretly_deletes_emails_foi_dodging/
Even the civil servants are complaining it seems
This deletion policy has bigger implications not least for the historians and academics when there is a likelihood that the e-mails will be destroyed and the history will have been lost. It is not that this deletion policy was not known about before, it was raised in Parliament in 2004. I doubt whether the coincidence of FOI and records management, I doubt if they would have tried this, Government would probably fail.
In my view, unless an e-mail is sent for information or is personal then it should not be destroyed after such a short period as three months and that a review of e-mails should be scheduled, it should be treated like paper files and have a time limit to be kept or preserved. The issue is the never ending e-mails, you send one, you get a reply, you send another, etc etc, so you should only keep the complete one. What do you do if someone doesn't want to file e-mails?.
David Matthew
I agree with using 3 and 4, but the real thing that needs to be done is provide training to staff about the email application that is being used (how to set up folders, rules,etc) as well as training on how to write emails ie single subjects, standardized subject headers, etc. without training you can't expect staff to properly manage their emails. In my experience (private and public sector) no one provides such training.
Thanks for commenting Peter – always an honour to hear from a living legend! Completely agree on the training thing. Very clear from the article that prompted this that staff didn't appear to know what they were supposed to be doing with the emails.

Carrie Underwood and John Legend Bring Holiday Magic With 'Hallelujah' on 'The Voice'
Melinda Lorge
Melinda Lorge Updated: December 15, 2021
'The Voice'
Carrie Underwood was a guest star on the Season 21 finale of The Voice on Tuesday night (Dec. 14), and she came armed with her powerhouse vocals. Taking the stage with coach and R&B singer John Legend, the two launched into their Christmas duet, "Hallelujah."
With Legend on piano and Underwood on the microphone, both stars had the audience in the palms of their hands and screaming in their seats. The stage, adorned with lit candles, appeared heavenly, as the two artists took turns singing back and forth and showing off their angelic harmonies.
"Let the world stand still, the church bells ring / Silent night as the angels sing / Hallelujah, Hallelujah / Let the magic warm the moonlit air / Hear the choirs join in singing everywhere / Hallelujah, Hallelujah," they sang in unison, bringing the Christmas magic to life in the Universal Studios room in Hollywood, Calif.
Along with Underwood, Coldplay, Keke Palmer, Tori Kelly, Ed Sheeran, Jennifer Lopez, Alisha Keys, Kid Cudi and Walker Hayes also performed during the two-hour finale. Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend took the stage with the remaining artists from their teams.
"Hallelujah" appears on Underwood's chart-topping 2020 holiday project entitled, My Gift. The project also features classic holiday tunes like "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "O Holy Night" and "The Little Drummer Boy," featuring Underwood's oldest son Isaiah.
Earlier this week, Underwood performed the final shows of the first leg of her Reflection: The Las Vegas Residency. Her husband Mike Fisher and their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob, made the trip to Las Vegas to catch her on stage.
"Boys are ready!" Fisher captioned a shot of the family seated in the audience.
Watch the video above to see Carrie Underwood and John Legend's performance of "Hallelujah" on The Voice.
Famous Singers from The Voice, Then + Now
Ten years (and counting) made a huge difference for many of the most popular singers and stars of The Voice. Blake Shelton looks noticeably different, but so do some of country music's most memorable performers.
Winners like Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery wore baby faces when they auditioned during their respective seasons. The same can be said for Morgan Wallen, a forgotten castmember from the show who's transformed more than anyone else on this list of The Voice stars then and now.

Lt. Col. Allen West headlines Wicomico County Patriot's Dinner to be held September 27
Former Congressman and Iraqi war hero headlines election prelude and fundraiser
The Wicomico County Republican Central Committee is proud to announce their first Patriot's Dinner will feature former Congressman, Lt. Col. Allen West.
Describing himself as "steadfast and loyal," Lt. Col. West grew up in the same Atlanta neighborhood where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached. After serving 22 years in the Army, including combat in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Afghanistan, West retired in 2004, later serving as a civilian military adviser in Afghanistan.
In 2010 he was elected to serve in Congress, representing Florida's 22nd District. After being redistricted to the 18th District, he lost a bid for re-election in 2012 by less than 1% of the vote. Since serving in Congress, West has become a Fox News Contributor, a Senior Fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, and regularly writes for numerous media outlets. He recently served as a guest host for Sean Hannity's radio show.
"This will be an opportunity for local residents to meet and hear the most famous conservative to visit the Lower Shore within memory," said Wicomico County Republican Party Chair Dave Parker. "West loves his country and its Constitution more than its government or his own skin color, and proves that people of every race can be Christian, patriotic, and conservative."
"Every time I've had the honor to hear Lt. Col. West speak, I have been invigorated and encouraged," added Wicomico County Republican Club president Jackie Wellfonder. "We are very grateful for the opportunity to have him here on the Eastern Shore as we get closer to election day in November. It is my hope that his message will promote a deeper level of engagement with our local conservative base."
A number of public and private events are slated with West:
4:30 p.m. - Private reception with the Salisbury University College Republicans.
5:00 p.m. - Allen West Guardian Roundtable, to benefit West's Guardian Fund PAC. Donation is $1,000 for Host, $500 for Patron, $250 for Sponsor. Attendees also receive an autographed copy of West's new book, Guardian of the Republic.
6:00 p.m. - VIP Reception and Pictures with West, to benefit the Maryland Republican Party. Donation is $150/person or $270/couple.
7:00 p.m. - Patriot's Dinner featuring Allen West, to benefit the Lower Shore county Republican parties. Donation is $65/person or $115/couple.
The College Republican reception, Guardian Roundtable, and VIP Reception will be held at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, 909 South Schumaker Avenue in Salisbury. The Patriot's Dinner will be held at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, 500 Glen Avenue in Salisbury. Attendees of the Guardian Roundtable or VIP Reception will also get free admission to the Patriot's Dinner.
The Republican Central Committee asks that those interested in attending the VIP Reception or Patriot's Dinner register and pay through their website: http://www.wicomicogop.org/allen-west-dinner/ or mail check payable to WCRCC with the mail-in form at the above site by September 20, to WCRCC, PO Box 252, Salisbury, MD 21803.

A child's safety is every parent's priority. Yet many parents think their child is safe when they're in their car seat, and the truth is that they may not be. Too often, car seats aren't installed properly, or the car seat may not be the right fit for the age and size of the child riding in it.
Car crashes are still a leading cause of death for children 1 to 13 years old. Car seats make the difference: they reduce the likelihood of death in a car for infants by 71 percent and a toddler by 54 percent. Having a child in the right seat for their age and size, and having the car seat properly installed, is crucial.
Having a car seat registered is just as important. We need your help to educate parents and caregivers on why car seat registration matters. It's the best way to know if a car seat has been recalled. Registering a car seat is part of keeping children safe on the road.

We'll be sharing life-saving tips about car seats, from how to find the right car seat for your child's age and size, to how to register a car seat.

Pocomoketoberfest in the beautiful waterfront Cypress Park!
The Pocomoketoberfest was held on Saturday. In spite of the heat and humidity, vendors and
visitors were having a great time. Local wineries and breweries showed off some of their finest products and answered questions from visitors.
Sparking bottles of wine from St. Michael's Winery.
Layton's Choice!
Ready to sample?
Artists came to downtown Pocomoke on Friday and Saturday, painting "Plein Air" on Market Street and in the park. By 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, the freshly painted canvases were on display. Standing in the shade of the buildings, I watched one lady work, as she was taking some artistic license in painting some very familiar downtown businesses. As she worked, the familiar fragrance of oil paints and solvents assaulted my senses, making me want to join her in the colorful quest of putting art on canvas.
Artist Kathy Gibson painted a scene of Bill Hudson's office and The Pincushion.
Complete with tartan kilt, Gus the Troubador from Accomack VA, sang ballads in a comical brogue voice. Very entertaining songs were perfect for the beer and wine fest!
Creative displays of handmade crafts were juried.
For the juried show, Amused Studios won 1st place in Fine Art for the ceramic art "Telluric", Guy Shover 2nd for his bronze and wood snail. in Crafts, Linda Muir won 1st place for her crab goblets, and Marilyn Deihle won 2nd for her Baby Circles Afghan. In jewelry, Mona Margarita won 1st for her "Epic Fairy Wing" and Dana Smith 2nd for her "Take Me to Your Leader."
Winners of the Scarecrow contest will be announced on Monday.

TIME MACHINE ... 1968, 1922, 1977, 1939, 1953, 1902
This place (Newtown) is a pretty snug little village, containing about 500 clever and hospitable inhabitants; is has good wide streets, quite clear of that "eye sore," known mostly over the Peninsula by the name of "deep sand"; the houses, though built of frame, are generally built substantially and with some discretion and taste; there are two neat, new, and quite handsome frame churches in it; as for the merchants of the place, suffice it to state that they are very clever and hospitable. F. Mezick, Esq., the landlord with whom I stopped, and his very obliging and jolly assistant, are richly deserving of a passing notice, for the good treatment and the extension of the many civilities to "the stranger."

The Capital (Annapolis, Md.)
Teachers Threaten
PRINCESS ANNE- The Somerset County Teachers Association says 85% of the county teachers and school administrators have agreed to sign letters threatening to resign if their salary demands are not met. Jack C. Morgan, association president, said he had received about 155 signed letters and expects more by tonight, when he plans to present them to the county school board. There are about 180 teachers and 25 administrators in the county. The teachers want a salary package which would give starting teachers $6,000 a year and provide a $300 salary increase for each year of experience up to a maximum of $8,700 after 10 years.

RICH MAN ACCUSED OF ABANDONING BABY BUYS FREEDOM
Girl Jointly Accused Also Released From Prison by Virginia Authorities.
FINDER TO KEEP INFANT
NORFOLK, Va., April 29.- William E. Thursby, wealthy yachtman, and a young woman posing as his daughter, both of whom were arrested a week ago on a charge of abandoning a baby, placing it in a basket and hanging it to a gate post, have been released from the Accomac county jail through the payment of $800 and the deeding of a half-interest in a costly home to the child.
The money has been paid to J. A. Brasure, who conducts a general merchandising store in Chlncoteague, Va., and on whose gate post the baby was hung.
Lived in a "Pretty House."
Thursby and the woman have been occupying a luxuriously furnished home on Assateague Island. Other inhabitants of the island called it the "Pretty House." Thursby and the woman have spent the best part of a year cruising up and down the Atlantic coast. They always returned to the "Pretty House."
The night of December 7, J. A. Brasure and his wife heard the cries of a baby. While his wlfe held a lamp at the front door, Brasure explored the yard. He found a basket hanging on his gate post.
In the basket was a baby, just a few days old. It was wrapped in costly garments. There was money and a warm bottle of milk in the basket. The baby was taken in by Brasure. The next morning he reported the case to the county authorities. He also assumed the role of detective.
Causes Couple's Arrest.
Ten days ago he caused the arrest of Thursby and the woman. He said he was unable to secure sufficient evidence sooner to cause the arrest. He accused Thursby and his woman companion of leaving the baby on his gate post. Both denied the charge. The woman said she was Thursby's daughter and she threatened to "make it hot" for Brasure for subjecting her to arrest.
Thursby and the woman were placed in jail in Accomac. They had money enough to secure their release on bail, but the authorities decided they could not go on their own bond. They were told they would have to secure some person who owned real estate In Virginia.
The prisoners made no further effort to secure bail. They lingered in jail several days.
By some unexplained method, Thursby and Brasure reached an agreement whereby neither the man nor woman would he prosecuted for abandoning the baby, although such an offense is criminal in Virginia.
The authorities agreed to the compromise.
Thursby agreed to pay and has paid Brasure the money, which Is to be used, according to the agreement, for the support of the baby; a half interest in the "pretty house" at Assateague was deeded over to the baby until such time as it is competent to handle its own affairs.
Case May Be Reopened.
Despite the agreement between Thursby and Brrasure, the authorities may be called to terms for permitting Thursby and the woman to go free without answering to the laws of the State for abandoning an infant. Had the child died of exposure before it was found, those guilty of abandoning it could have been held on a murder charge.
The Accomac county authorities offer no explanation for the release of Thursby and the woman, excepting the compromise reached with Brasure. The case has attracted unusual interest on the eastern shore of Virginia and elsewhere since the facts were published.
Thursby claims his home is in Flushing, N. Y. He is said to be very wealthy. The identity of the woman Is a secret.

Heating Asphalt Starts Fire At Snow Hill
Snow Hill, Md., May, 18 (AP)- An attempt to heat asphalt with a blow torch today caused a $16,000 fire which destroyed a tank truck and the State Roads Commission warehouse.
L. H. Steuart, commission secretary, said employees told him Luther Jones, driver of the truck, was attempting to heat the asphalt so it would flow from the truck and the warehouse was soon enveloped in flames.

(Conclusion of Tangier Island article from last week)
Sunday, however, is the great day of the week. Not by any means a day given to mirth or sport, for the boats are all anchored and all of the islanders are at home for the purpose of attending church, and there is service of some kind for nearly every hour of the day, from 9 in the morning until twilight. The one street at this time presents a busy appearance for on account of its long, narrow character it seems literally crowded from the time of the tolling of the church bell until the service has commenced. All of the services seem to be well attended and young and old are very constant in attendance upon church.
The final service of the day closes a little after sunset, and at its close the young men take the young women of their choice and promenade the narrow street, the only boulevard of the town. There is noted an absence of the noise and gayety that might be expected from so many young people. As they walk along some of them hum selections from the gospel hymns or converse in a quiet manner. Occasionally some young fellow without a partner stops a promenadlng couple with the inqiuiry, "Who's best?" and if the young lady desires a change of partners she accepts the arm of the newcomer and leaves number one disconsolate, but such affairs are few and far between, and love seems to run as smoothly as it might be expected in Arcadia.
The promenade lasts but a little time and at an early hour the street is deserted, for the men are obliged to be on the crabbing grounds at an early hoar the next morning. The day of the week has passed and life until the next Saturday afternoon will be filled with the exciting struggle of dipping a livelihood from the sea.
