Christmas trees, menorahs, nativity scenes. All of these are symbols of the season, and Oklahoma lawmakers want to make sure it stays that way in public schools.
"Oklahoma, we declare it is okay in the school houses to say 'Merry Christmas' and `Happy Hanukkah,'" Rep. Ken Walker said in a press conference Monday morning.
The bill would allow schools to celebrate Christmas without fear of a lawsuit.
House bill 2613 mirrors a Texas law that states a school district may educate students about the history of traditional winter celebrations and allow students and district staff to offer traditional greetings regarding the celebrations.
"This has been discussed in the courts and the courts have said this is okay to celebrate these different holidays and this is just reaffirming it at the local level because there has been some confusion," Rep. Joe Dorman said.
So what brings this bill up now? State Representative Donnie Condit has been in education for more than 30 years and sees a drastic change in how Christmas is celebrated in schools.
"When I first came in until about 20 years ago, there was no problem, and then I started sensing it probably about 10 to 15 years ago when people felt uncomfortable…," he said.

Eli Happy to Be Back on Normal Schedule
By John Fennelly | Oct 3, 2012 | 9:25PM
Giants' QB Eli Manning faced the media today in what is first of many normal weeks coming up for the team....
How important is it to put this past Sunday's game against the Eagles behind you?Yeah. From each game, you learn from it, and we did some good things, there are things that we need to clean up, we're looking forward to having a home game, a 1 o' clock start, and facing a good team. Their defense has done well, a lot of turnovers, a lot of sacks, they've played every game close, and so, we've got to make sure we have a great week of practice, and go out there and play great football on Sunday.
Do you like afternoon starts? Early games?Yeah. You can't beat Sunday at 1 o' clock. That's when you like playing football. The night games are good, but three of the first four at night, I think everybody's looking forward to it, Sunday at 1 o' clock.
Because they've played mostly close games, do you think it's an easier sell job for the coaches to keep you guys on your toes? That this team is better than its record shows?I never worry about records. A lot of the time, I don't know the opposing team's record. I watch film, I see the situations, and see how they're playing, and I see a team that makes a lot of big plays. They get turnovers, they get sacks, they have a good scheme, and they do some good stuff defensively that causes problems. So, we've got to be well prepared, and it's going to come down to execution, and guys stepping up and making plays.
Some questions were raised by Cris Collinsworth about Rueben Randle's work ethic on the broadcast the other night. What's your opinion on his work ethic?You know, Rueben's young. He's trying to figure out what it takes to compete and get mentally and physically ready for upcoming games. He has talent, he's been working better. Having an understanding of just how we work, how we prepare each week, and he's been getting more reps these last few weeks, he's doing a good job of putting everything together, and he's going to have to play for us. Whether it's this week, or sometime, he's going to have to make some plays for us, and I believe he can do that. He can help us out.
Did you talk to him about what you expect from your receivers?Yeah. We talked, and go over things, plays from last week, and plays from practice. Just trying to get on the same page, and he is young. It takes time for a quarterback and receiver to gain that trust and that confidence to get on the exact same page and be able to understand what each other is expecting.
You guys have had some injuries at the receiver position. I mean, how much does it put on you to get different groups of guys each week up to speed and ready to contribute?I think our coaches do a great job. We've been fortunate to have some veteran receivers around here, who know what they need to do and how to get ready, and we have young guys in Rueben who have talent, and he's going to be prepared, he's a smart guy, he understands what's going on. I think the more reps you get, the more time he gets with the starting group, game-time experiences, and practice reps, the better we'll get.
How has Victor adjusted to being a guy this year who most of the time sees the focus of the other team's defense, more than he might have been last year?It seems like he's doing well. He's making a lot of catches, a lot of plays for us, and doing a good job getting open. He's just doing his job, and reading the coverages, and running the right routes.
Tom said that he referenced the 2008 loss to Cleveland to some of the guys who were around then. Obviously, you were. What did he say about it to you guys? Does that drive you at all this week?Yeah He just mentioned it. I think for me, each week, I'm always driven to get better, and have a great game plan, and go out there and practice well, and take those reps into the games. So, this is the NFL, and every game is important, every game is tough, every team is good and talented. If you're not 100 percent committed, and bought in, then you're going to lose. Those are the facts; we understand that, I understand that. So, we're working hard to have a great week.
The Browns are a team you guys probably aren't super familiar with. You play them pretty rarely. How does that affect when you're preparing and studying them?You have to get yourself familiar with the personnel. We haven't gone against a lot of the players, figuring out who they are, and just what their scheme is. You go back and watch a lot of pre-season, see if you can pick up on any tendencies, and just get a sense of how we're going to prepare, how certain plays are going to work versus them.
Any lingering bad memories of your last trip to Cleveland?No. It was four years ago. Those get wiped away pretty quickly. New team, new players, new coaches on that side. So, we've just got to make sure we handle our business, and try to go out there and play our best game.
David (Baas) has the hand injury. I know he didn't practice today. Does that affect you guys at all?No. It shouldn't. Guys stepped in today. We had a good practice. We have some guys banged up today. Hopefully, they get back, either tomorrow, or later in the week.
Is there a fine line for a quarterback when you're been dealing with a lot of different receivers? You need to correct these guys at times. Like Tony Romo did the other day. It's clear he was upset with Dez Bryant. You don't need to show that, but I'm sure you feel it. How do you balance that?You try to teach them. Some things, you can get on a guy. Some things, you try to talk to them. It's a matter of are they learning something? Is it a weird look? Are you trying to prepare for the next play, or are they making mental mistakes? The mental mistakes are the ones that are the frustrating ones.
When it seems to look bad, even if it's not bad, it's just two guys talking out a play.During a game, you're not really worried about what it's looking like. I don't like to show up anybody, or throw blame on someone else. It just depends on the circumstances. I don't think much into it; it just depends on how close the receiver is to me when I want to say something, how recent it was to the last play.
Is there such a thing as a good 2-2 record, or a bad 2-2 record? If so, where does this one fall under either category?I think a 2-2 record is a 2-2 record. So, it is what it is.
What do you like about playing at 1 o' clock? You mentioned it a couple of times. What's good about that?You get up, and you go play. Those night games, you kind of feel like you waste a full day, just sitting around and waiting, and waiting and waiting. Growing up, I was a football fan. In New Orleans, it was 12 o' clock. That's what I thought of football. Sunday, 12 o' clock, Saints game is coming on. Now, here, 1 o' clock, that's football time and it's just good to get up and go play. You don't have to sit around and wait for it.

Giants reportedly to interview Marc Colombo for offensive line coach

With Bill Callahan off the market, another name has surfaced as the Giants seek to fill their offensive line coach vacancy.
The Giants plan on interviewing former Cowboys offensive line coach Marc Colombo for the spot sometime this week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Colombo served underneath new Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett in Dallas since 2016, first as an assistant offensive line coach, before taking over the reins of that position group in 2018. When the Cowboys hired Mike McCarthy, it was announced that Colombo would not return to the Cowboys.
Giants 2020 NFL Mock Draft roundup: Here's who the experts have Big Blue taking

The offseason continues and NFL mock drafts continue to update themselves, as the top prospects officially declare for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Now that the Giants coaching search is all done and Joe Judge's staff is basically complete, Giants GM Dave Gettleman has all his focus on who to select with the No. 4 overall pick.
Here's who experts believe Gettleman will call on in Vegas this April in the first round...
Browns hire Bill Callahan as offensive line coach, taking him off the board for same role with Giants
Big Blue set to interview Dave DeGuglielmo on Tuesday
As the Giants look to fill out the rest of their Joe Judge's staff, the Browns have made a move to hire one of their targets to coach the offensive line.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Bill Callahan is expected to be announced as Cleveland's offensive line coach. Callahan's interest in the role with the Giants may have waned after the team hired Jason Garrett as its offensive coordinator.
Callahan was on Garrett's staff with the Cowboys from 2012-2014, serving as both offensive line coach and offensive coordinator. He was the team's primary offensive play caller in 2013, but was stripped of those duties before his final season in Dallas.
Rick Gosselin ranks Giants among NFL's best special teams units

Rick Gosselin, a 47-year veteran of analyzing special teams, releases a yearly review and ranks the 32 units across the NFL.
Gosselin's system has long been a highly-respected system to grade out the league's specialists. Teams are ranked in 22 kicking-game categories and assigned points according to their standing -- one for best, 32 for worst.
For their efforts in the 2019 season, the Giants finished ranked as Gosselin's seventh-best special teams unit with 314 total points. That's an improvement from the year prior, as Gosselin's system tabbed the Giants 15th in special teams grouping.
Giants' Dexter Lawrence named top rookie interior defender by Pro Football Focus
Lawrence was fourth DT selected at 2019 NFL Draft
The Giants landed a promising gem with defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
The 17th overall pick from the 2019 NFL draft was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team recently and adding to that is an honor from Pro Football Focus.
The football analytics outlet named Lawrence the NFL's best rookie interior defensive lineman in 2019.

Giants to interview Dave DeGuglielmo for OL coach position

The Giants will interview Dave DeGuglielmo for their vacant offensive line coach position on Tuesday, reports SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.
SNY reported last week that Big Blue had interest in DeGuglielmo.
DeGuglielmo began his NFL coaching career with the Giants in 2004 as their assistant offensive line coach and in an offensive quality control position. One of his two Super Bowl wins came during his tenure with the Giants in Super Bowl XLII when the Giants upset the undefeated Patriots, 17-14.
Former Giants DC Steve Spagnuolo headed to Super Bowl with Chiefs
Spagnuolo spent five seasons in New York, most recently working from 2015-17

Steve Spagnuolo is back in the Super Bowl, and his return to the NFL's biggest stage is nothing short of remarkable given how he spent the 2018 season.
The two-time Giants defensive coordinator, nearing the completion of his first year in the same capacity with the Chiefs, helped Kansas City clinch the AFC Championship Game thanks to Sunday's 35-24 win over the Tennessee Titans.
While the Chiefs' offense gets the well-deserved shine, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the skill players at the unit's disposal, Spagnuolo has guided Kansas City's quiet turnaround on defense throughout the 2019 campaign.

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten could possibly join Jason Garrett with the Giants: report
Witten has played his entire 16-year career with Dallas

Dallas Cowboys veteran tight end Jason Witten could possibly join former head coach Jason Garrett with the Giants, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Witten, 37, has played his entire 16-year career with the Cowboys. He briefly retired after the 2017 season to join ESPN's Monday Night Football as an analyst, but returned to play with the Cowboys for the 2019 season.
Mortensen added that since Witten is obviously familiar with Garrett's offense, he could be an ideal veteran presence to a young team.

Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons announced on Saturday that he will forego his senior season and has declared for the 2020 NFL Draft.
"And now, it's time for me to take the next step in my journey," Simmons said in a statement he posted to his social media accounts. "Today, it is with great humility and gratitude that I announce that I will be declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft. While I am incredibly excited about the opportunities and challenged that await me, please know that a part of my heart will always remain here in Clemson, South Carolina."
Simmons, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound linebacker has seen his draft stock soar, particularly after a very strong performance in the National Championship game against LSU, a game in which he may have played himself into consideration for the Giants with the fourth overall pick.
Jason Garrett on joining Giants as offensive coordinator: 'It just felt right to me'
Former Cowboys coach discussed Joe Judge, Daniel Jones, and more

On Friday, the Giants officially announced the hiring of Jason Garrett as the team's offensive coordinator under head coach Joe Judge.
Garrett joined the Giants Huddle podcast to discuss returning to the team he once played for, his initial conversations with Judge, and his opinion on Daniel Jones.
During his playing career, Garrett was a backup quarterback for the Giants from 2000-03, and now that he's back with Big Blue, he's excited to get to work with such a storied franchise.
Arrest warrant for former Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. to be withdrawn
Officer involved in spanking incident is declining to pursue charges
(Mark J. Rebilas)
It appears Odell Beckham Jr.'s wild night following LSU's national championship victory won't land him in any trouble with the New Orleans Police Department after all.
On Thursday, the NOPD issued an arrest warrant for the former Giants wide receiver, accusing the wide receiver of simple battery on a police officer after he was caught spanking a member of the department in the LSU locker room following the game.
But ESPN reports that the officer has signed an affidavit saying that he does not want to pursue charges. The arrest warrant could be withdrawn as early as this weekend.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has all the praise in the world for new Giants QB coach Jerry Schuplinski
Schuplinski was Dolphins assistant QB coach in 2019

Giants head coach Joe Judge certainly knew what he was getting when he brought in Jerry Schuplinski as his quarterbacks coach. The two coached together with the Patriots for six years from 2013-2018.
Schuplinski joined the Dolphins in 2019 as their assistant quarterbacks coach, where former Jet quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was one of his charges. The 14-year NFL veteran was more than impressed with what he saw from him.
"I got to see it from two different sides," Fitzpatrick told The Post. "He had to talk to me, treat me and coach me a different way than maybe he had to treat young guys like Josh Rosen and Jake Rudock in our room. His ability to know who he was teaching and the way that guy learned - and adapt based on who he was talking with - is one of his huge strengths."

The Giants have hired Burton Burns as their new running backs coach, according to Alex Marvez of Sirius XM NFL Radio.
Burns, 67, was the associate head coach and running backs coach at Alabama from 2007 until 2018.
His ties to Giants head coach Joe Judge go back to Alabama, where Judge was a special teams assistant from 2009 to 2011.
7 things to know about Giants' new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett

The Giants added an experienced former head coach to Joe Judge's staff on Friday, hiring Jason Garrett as the team's offensive coordinator.
Giants fans likely know all about Garrett's tenure as Cowboys head coach, as he went 85-67 over 10 seasons with Dallas.
But here are some things you may not know about the Giants' new OC ...
- Garrett, 53, was born in Abington, PA. He spent time growing up in Ohio and New Jersey, before playing quarterback at Princeton University, where he majored in history. In 1988, Garrett was named the Ivy League Player of the Year.
Why Jason Garrett is an inspired choice to join Joe Judge's staff with Giants
Garrett is a perfect fit as Giants' OC
The Giants bosses thought enough of Jason Garrett that they planned to interview him for their head coaching job last week. They always knew he'd be tough to sell to their fan base, though.
Selling him as their new offensive coordinator is going to be a lot easier. And it makes much more sense.

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett has agreed to become the Giants offensive coordinator, SNY's Ralph Vacchiano has confirmed.
The news was first reported by ESPN's Ed Werder, and later made official by the team. The Giants also offically announced Patrick Graham as assistant head coach/defensive coordinator and Thomas McGaughey as special teams coordinator.
Garrett was let go by the Cowboys on Jan. 5 after going 85-67 over 10 seasons as the team's head coach, and his contract officially expired on January 14.
Sportsbook places odds on whether Odell Beckham Jr. will be sentenced to jail in 2020
Beckham was issued an arrest warrant for simple battery on a police officer

On Thursday morning, the New Orleans Police Department confirmed to ESPN that an arrest warrant was issued to former Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., accusing him of simple battery of a police officer.
Beckham was in New Orleans on Monday night to attend the College Football Playoff National Championship, and was seen handing out money to LSU players while celebrating with the team after the game.
While celebrating with the team in the locker room, Beckham was also seen slapping a male police officer on the butt. And now some sportsbooks have released odds on Beckham being fined for battery or even being sentenced to jail time in 2020.

Former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo has interviewed for with the Panthers and Jaguars this week as he looks to return to an NFL sideline for the first time since 2017.
The Athletic's Joe Person reported Thursday that new Panthers head coach Matt Rhule brought in McAdoo to interview for an unspecified role. Former LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady has already been brought on as the new Carolina offensive coordinator.
However, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, McAdoo met with the Jaguars this week specifically about their offensive coordinator position. Jacksonville fired fromer OC John DeFilippo after one year with the team.
Latest on Giants' offensive coordinator search: Scott Linehan is in the mix

The Giants' search for assistants to fill out Joe Judge's staff is ongoing. Here's the latest on the offensive coordinator job...
Jan. 17, 8:45 AM:
Former Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan will be interviewing with the Giants this weekend, reports Chris Mortensen.

Darius Slayton had exactly the same reaction as almost everyone else when he heard the Giants new head coach was going to be Joe Judge.
"Yeah, I had not heard of him prior to the Giants hiring him," Slayton told SNY in an interview on Thursday. "But you know he's coming from a really good organization. Everybody I've heard speak about him has glowing things to say about him, so I'm sure he'll be a good guy for the job."

Odell Beckham Jr. is already in trouble with LSU and the NCAA for handing out wads of cash to players after the NCAA football championship on Monday night.
Now he's in trouble with police, too.
An arrest warrant was issued for the former Giants receiver on Thursday morning, the New Orleans Police Department confirmed to ESPN, accusing Beckham of simple battery of a police officer. The charge is based on a video that showed him slapping a male officer on the butt in LSU's post-game locker room.

Sources: Bills denied Giants permission to interview offensive coordinator Brian Daboll
Daboll has worked well with Bills QB Josh Allen

Joe Judge seems likely to hire an experienced offensive coordinator, and it might turn out to be Jason Garrett. But the new Giants coach had hoped to talk to Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll about the job first.
The 44-year-old Daboll, who was on the New England Patriots staff with Judge from 2013-16, was high atop Judge's wish list when he was hired by the Giants, multiple sources told SNY. The Giants requested permission for Judge to interview Daboll, the sources said, but that permission was denied by the Bills.
That wasn't surprising, considering it would've been a lateral move for Daboll, who was a big part of why the Bills finished 10-6 this past season and made the playoffs for just the second time in the last 20 years. He's also earned rave reviews for his work with second-year quarterback Josh Allen. Daboll was so highly regarded that he interviewed for the Cleveland Browns head coaching job last week, and was reportedly a "sleeper" candidate before they hired Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski instead.
LSU's Joe Burrow admits former Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. was giving out real money to players
OBJ gave money to two Tiger juniors that haven't declared for 2020 NFL Draft
Former Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. wants the media to leave him alone, yet he found himself in the spotlight yet again following the National Championship where his alma mater LSU Tigers came away victorious.
Beckham, who was joined by LSU and Browns teammate Jarvis Landry among other former Tigers players, was able to celebrate with the team on the field and in the locker room after the game. And during that celebration, Beckham was seen handing out cash to players as he shook their hands for winning the contest over Clemson.
LSU was quick to say the money was fake, but their Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow killed that claim during the latest episode of Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take.

The main news coming from the Giants facility Wednesday is that former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is in the building to interview for the offensive coordinator job, but that wasn't the only information coming out of East Rutherford.
The Giants let go of outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson, defensive backs coach Evertt Withers and offensive assistant Ryan Roeder, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. These coaches join the likes of tight ends coach Lunda Wells, inside linebackers coach Bill McGovern, and others as those who have left as new head coach Joe Judge builds his own staff.
The remaining coaches from Pat Shurmur's staff include running backs coach Craig Johnson, offensive line coach Hal Hunter, assistant offensive line coach Ben Wilkerson, defensive assistant Bobby Blick and special teams assistants Tom Quinn and Anthony Blevins.
George Young, who resurrected Giants franchise, elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame
As GM, Young brought the Giants Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, and Bill Parcells

The man who helped resurrect the Giants franchise and built their first two Super Bowl champions will finally take his long-overdue place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The late George Young, the general manager of the Giants in the 1980s and '90s, was selected to the Hall's special "Centennial Class" of 2020 on Wednesday morning. He was chosen by a "blue ribbon" panel as one of three "contributors" in what will be a monster, 20-person class when he's officially inducted later this year.
"George Young's career is the very definition of a Hall of Famer," said former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi, who was Young's assistant and later his successor. "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of George or something I learned from him. The only bittersweet part is that he's not here."
Wells' status was up in the air with Joe Judge still assembling his staff

Giants tight ends coach Lunda Wells, whose status with the team was up in the air with new head coach Joe Judge still assembling his staff, is leaving to become the tight ends coach for the Cowboys, SNY's Ralph Vacchiano reported Wednesday.
The 36-year-old Wells had been with the Giants since 2012.
His first role with the Giants was as an offensive assistant in 2012. He then served as their assistant offensive line coach from 2013-2017 before becoming tight ends coach prior to the 2018 season.
Sources weigh in on who Joe Judge is considering for Giants' OC job
Could Jason Garrett have a Big Blue reunion? What does Mike Shula have to prove?
Jason Garrett/Mike Shula
The Giants have given new head coach Joe Judge the freedom to choose his own assistants, though his bosses have certainly made their preference for an experienced staff clear. John Mara even said publicly that "having experienced people on both sides of the ball is going to be critical," and that an assistant with head coaching experience "would be great," too.
Judge didn't meet that criteria when he hired Patrick Graham as his defensive coordinator. That's why his next big hire -- offensive coordinator -- will be so interesting to watch.
There are many experienced candidates available for the 38-year-old Judge, including a few that sources say he is considering. It's unknown whom he plans to hire, or if he feels any pressure to bring in someone with head coaching experience. But it's expected that his choice will become clear by the end of the week.
Sources: New Giants DC Patrick Graham will also be their assistant head coach
One former Giants player called Graham a 'commanding leader' and a 'big presence'
Patrick Graham (Mark Hoffman)
Patrick Graham isn't just going to be the Giants' defensive coordinator. He's going to be their assistant head coach, too.
The 40-year-old has been given both those titles by new Giants head coach Joe Judge, according to multiple sources. That's not only a sign of the respect Judge has for his new top assistant, but it also explains why he wasn't blocked from leaving his job as defensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins. They couldn't block Graham from leaving for a job that is technically a promotion.
Graham also will likely get a raise over the normal salary for a defensive coordinator, though the terms of his deal with the Giants were not available. It's also unclear what other duties Judge will give his "assistant head coach."
The 17th overall pick proved to be a solid interior force this season

The Pro Football Writers of America have released their All-Rookie Team for the 2019-20 season, and one Giant has made the list.
DL Dexter Lawrence, the 17th overall pick by New York in the 2019 NFL Draft, has made the cut after a solid rookie season.
Lawrence was actually Pro Football Focus' top-graded rookie after the first six weeks. He had totaled two sacks, a forced fumble and two tackles for loss in those contests.
Did Clemson's Isaiah Simmons play his way into Giants' 2020 NFL Draft plans Monday night?
The versatile Tigers linebacker boosted his draft stock in the National Championship

The LSU Tigers may have been crowned national champions down in New Orleans Monday night, but Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons was also a winner in terms of draft stock.
And that stock might have boosted all the way up to the Giants at No. 4.
Simmons was electric for Clemson's defense, setting the tone early by getting to LSU's Heisman Trophy-winning QB Joe Burrow. Overall, he had seven tackles -- two for loss -- a sack, and two passes defended.

Giants won't bring back LB coach Bill McGovern, DL coach Gary Emanuel
Freddie Roach steps in for Emanuel, but who will McGovern's replacement be?

The Giants will not be bringing back linebackers coach Bill McGovern or defensive line coach Gary Emanuel next season, per The Post's Ryan Dunleavy.
Moving on from Emanuel was a given after new head coach Joe Judge brought on Ole Miss defensive line coach Freddie Roach on Monday. This will be his first NFL coaching job after spending time with Alabama along with Ole Miss, which is how the two coaches have a connection.
As for McGovern, it does make sense to get a breath of fresh air at linebackers coach. This unit has been sub-par for a few years now, and Judge recognized that. New defensive coordinator Patrick Graham also has a history as a linebackers coach.
Blueprint for how the Giants should handle their important 2020 offseason
Dave Gettleman and Joe Judge have a 'daunting task' ahead of them as they prepare for an organizational rebuild
Now that the Giants have finally conceded they really are rebuilding, new head coach Joe Judge faces what John Mara called "a daunting task." And that's not just because he's a 38-year-old, first-time head coach, either.
It's because the Giants went 9-23 over the last two years and could look very different by the time they hit the field for the start of next season. They do have a few good, young pieces to build around, but the reality is they still have plenty of holes.
To fill them, both Judge and GM Dave Gettleman swear it'll be a "collaborative" effort -- that they'll work together, and that their philosophy on how to build an "old school" team is already perfectly aligned. That remains to be seen, of course. But in case they need any help in getting started, here's a blueprint for them to quickly make the Giants a contender again:

Giants expected to hire QB coach Jerry Schuplinski, who helped mold Jimmy Garoppolo
Schuplinski was on the same Patriots staff as Giants head coach Joe Judge from 2013-18

Jerry Schuplinski is expected to be hired as the Giants' new quarterbacks coach, reports Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network.
Schuplinski coached with the Patriots during the same time as new Giants head coach Joe Judge. From 2013-18, he first served as an offensive assistant and then as their assistant quarterbacks coach.
He spent the 2019 season with the Dolphins as their assistant quarterbacks coach.
Roach coached on the same staff as Joe Judge at Alabama
The Giants are hiring Freddie Roach to be their defensive line coach, SNY's Ralph Vacchiano confirmed.
This will be Roach's first NFL coaching job. He served as the defensive line coach at Ole Miss for the last three seasons.
Roach has also coached at Alabama, with his time there overlapping new Giants head coach Joe Judge's tenure there as a special teams assistant from 2009-2011.

Before he was ultimately hired by the Giants as head coach, Joe Judge nearly missed his interview for the job.
Judge opened up on his hectic process, interviewing with Mississippi State before he did the same for the Giants, in Peter King's Football Morning in America column.
Upon interviewing with the Giants last Monday morning, Judge got off at the wrong train station.

As the Giants continue their search for a new offensive coordinator, the Jaguars have fired OC John DeFilippo, adding another potential candidate to the pool Big Blue was already considering.
The firing of DeFilippo was first reported by Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
According to Rapoport, the firing came as a surprise.
Graham's coaching journey started in New York

New Giants head coach Joe Judge wasted no time in getting a key hire added to his coaching staff Sunday, when he reportedly brought Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Patrick Graham aboard for the same position with New York.
Graham, who turns 41 on Jan. 24, joins Judge just three days after the Giants introduced the former New England Patriots assistant.
The two coached together under longtime Patriots head coach Bill Belichick from 2012-15, but perhaps Graham's Giants ties make for the more intriguing aspect of Judge's move to bring him on to run the defense.
Graham's Dolphins defense was ranked 30th in the NFL last season
The most important hire Joe Judge will make for his new Giants coaching staff will be his offensive coordinator, who will be entrusted with the development of franchise quarterback Daniel Jones. Perhaps nobody will end up being more important to the long-term success of the franchise.
His new defensive coordinator, though, could come close.
Patrick Graham, who spent last year as the Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator, will get that job with the Giants, a source confirmed, and will be entrusted with the growth of a very young and incredibly underachieving defense. That unit has been the real Achilles heel of the Giants the last three years, including two ugly seasons under outgoing defensive coordinator James Bettcher.

Former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur is expected to be the next offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported and SNY's Ralph Vacchiano confirmed.
SNY sources say Shurmur had several options, but the Broncos made a big push because they really wanted an experienced play-caller.
The Vikings, Browns and Bears had reported interest in Shurmur, but it look like he'll be heading to Denver.
The latest on the Giants defensive coordinator search: New York hires Patrick Graham
Who will lead the Giants defense under Joe Judge?
The Giants are searching for their next defensive coordinator under Joe Judge. Here is the latest on potential candidates for the job...
Jan 12, 5:36 PM:

Graham becomes Joe Judge's first big hire as head coach. The Dolphins are reportedly expected to promote cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer to DC.

With Vikings OC Kevin Stefanski accepting the Browns' head coach position on Sunday, former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur could be finding his way back to Minnesota next season.
SNY's Ralph Vacchiano is hearing from a source that Shurmur is expected to be a candidate to fill Stefanski's role as the team's offensive coordinator. It's the same role that he held with the Vikings in 2017 before he became the Giants' head coach.
If Shurmur were to return to an offensive coordinator job after serving as a head coach, it would be the second time he's done so. He joined the Browns in 2011 as their new head coach, but would only last two seasons. He, then, went to Philadelphia to become the Eagles' offensive coordinator for three seasons.
Joe Judge to keep Tyke Tolbert as Giants WR coach
Tolbert joined Giants under Pat Shurmur
Giants head coach Joe Judge is getting his roster of coaches together on his staff, but at least one will be an in-house hire.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Giants will retain wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert under Judge.
Former Giants coach Pat Shurmur brought Tolbert to the Giants in 2018 when he was first hired by the team.
Giants' RB Saquon Barkley is changing his offsesaon approach this year
"I took off last year. I'm not taking off this year," Barkley said

After a combined nine wins in his first two NFL seasons, there's no doubt Saquon Barkley wants to help lead the Giants out of the rut in which they're currently stuck.
After a rookie season which saw him lead the league with 2028 yards from scrimmage, the Penn State product finished the season with 1003 rushing yards, despite missing three games with an ankle injury.
That injury was initially expected to keep him out for longer, but Barkley wowed the Giants medical team to return much faster than anticipated.

Giants co-owner John Mara discusses Eli manning's potential future within the organization
Manning has been with the Giants for his entire 16 year career
The 2019 season was widely expected to be the final one in Eli Manning's career, but the 16-year veteran quarterback has yet to make a decision on his future and has left the door open to possibly coming back.
Giants co-owner John Mara spoke to WFAN early Friday morning and said that although Manning's role as starting quarterback is over (with the ascension of Daniel Jones), there are still other options available for him to stick around.
"I haven't closed any doors on that," Mara said about Manning finding another role within the organization during an appearance on WFAN's Moose and Maggie Show. "Eli came to see me a few days ago, and we had a nice, long talk, but I don't think he's fully decided yet what he wants to do. And I've told him just take his time, think about it some more and then come back and see me again."

Giants gave head coach Joe Judge a five-year deal: Report
Judge was introduced on Thursday at MetLife Stadium
New head coach Joe Judge's contract with the Giants is for five years, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The financial details of the contract have not yet been reported.
Judge, 38, was introduced on Thursday at MetLife Stadium, with John Mara saying Judge's interview was perhaps the best he's ever been a part of and Judge following that introduction with an intense and at times riveting press conference.
Joe Judge and Dave Gettleman are in philosophical alignment about building Giants' roster
"It's collaborative. We'll work through every situation."
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - From the moment Dave Gettleman learned he wasn't fired, he vowed to do whatever his bosses wanted in the best interests of the team. If that meant giving up some of his power or even final say over personnel decisions, he said he'd do it.
In the end, he didn't have to. And it turns out, no one asked.
10 of the best quotes Giants' Joe Judge gave during introductory press conference
'We'll play every play like it's a history in a life of its own with a relentless, competitive attitude'
By Danny Abriano and Scott Thompson | Jan 9 | 3:40PM
Giants head coach Joe Judge
There are many words you can use to describe how Joe Judge sounded during his introductory press conference as Giants head coach: intense, passionate, to-the-point, and inspiring are among them.
In fact, Judge looks like he's going to be a walking quote card during his tenure with the Giants, as he had some brilliant lines while making his opening remarks and answering questions from the media in attendance.
While there are a plethora to choose from, here are 10 of the best quotes from Judge that shed light on what type of man and coach the Giants have hired…
Winning games is the main goal -- and Judge knows it

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Tom Coughlin had people wanting to run through a wall for him five minutes into his introductory press conference back in 2004. Three years later, he was nearly run out of town, one year before winning a Super Bowl.
Ben McAdoo was mocked for his goofy haircut and ill-fitting suit in 2016, then went 11-5 as a rookie head coach before the walls caved in one year later.
And two years ago, Pat Shurmur looked every bit the "adult" the Giants needed -- a mature, calm, football lifer. Two years later, he was out with a record of 9-23.

Congratulations to Hemdean House School for issuing letters and Sun Safety leaflets to the parents / guardians of all of their children. Hemdean House School have also pledged to make sure that all children have access to Sun Hats & Sunscreen and that all teachers at the school will be good role models with regard to sun safety.
"All are children are requested to buy a school legionnaire sunhat, as part of the uniform when they enter the school. If they prefer they can bring an appropriate hat from home to be kept at school. Hats remain in school and staff ensure children wear a hat when they are involved in outdoor activity both at school and when on school trips and visits. There is a box of spare hats available for use by the children.
Many children bring their own sun screen to school and this is kept in their classroom and applied as necessary. We are also keeping a bottle of sun screen with the first aid bag and have asked parents to sign a consent form if they wish their child to have use of this.
"I, Mrs Illingworth, made a presentation to staff at our weekly staff meeting about the SunSmart scheme, and its aims and message. I asked staff for their support in reinforcing and modelling the message to the children through out the school and all agreed that this was an excellent idea and that they would remind the children of the importance of the "slip, slap, slop message" and act as appropriate role models themselves.

Transform Your CX from Good to Great by Treating Your Agents Right
Sitting on the front lines of the contact center, agents are the personification of your brand. They provide the human-to-human connection that makes lasting impressions and supports more engaging customer experiences (CX). But, while CX continues to play an outsized role as a competitive differentiator, best-in-class contact centers are increasingly replicating the same type of customer-centricity to the agent experience. Contact centers make significant investments in process and technology to power seamless, effective engagements with customers. However, without also focusing on reduction of agent friction their ability to bring those exceptional customer experience to life can fall flat.
In fact, The State of Experience and Engagement in Today's Contact Centers study, commissioned by NICE inContact and ICMI, found that contact centers are increasingly emphasizing the agent experience (AX) as part of their wider CX strategy. The research found that half of contact center leaders said that employee experience is a top priority, and that they regularly source insight from agents to better understand their needs and perspectives—much like they would with customers. Seeking agent input enables contact center leaders to stay agile and proactively make adjustments and take action to ensure the most robust agent experience possible.
If you're looking to better support agents, and turn them into brand ambassadors through onboarding improvements, easy-to-use technology and personalized career growth strategies, the following are a few things to keep in mind.
Great Service Starts with Hiring and Onboarding
As customer expectations for digital-first omnichannel service grow, there's an increasing demand for contact centers to grow to meet this demand. In fact, over one-third of contact centers are planning to expand agent-related resources in the coming year, according the NICE inContact CX Transformation Benchmark.
But positive growth is more than just filling seats—contact center leaders need to be strategic in how they approach the hiring process. If a person isn't fundamentally the right fit with the right skills as an agent, they might be set up for failure in the long run. Think about it this way: modern buying journeys are thoughtful—brands get to know the customer in order to build a customized experience. The same approach is true for hiring the right agents.
Consider some of the traditional skills hiring managers look for in potential candidates: problem-solving, communication, empathy. The common thread between these skills is an ability to make deep human connections while quickly solving problems with frictionless communication. That said, most agents spend most of their onboarding time learning the literal tools of the trade, rather than improving core communication skills. Modernizing to a consolidated, easy-to-use cloud contact center platform actually streamlines technology and process training, freeing up time to improve customer service capabilities by up to 50%. That's time that can then be focused on the customer.
When core competencies like problem-solving, communication and empathy are met, and agents are empowered with best-in-class and easy-to-use technology, the foundation is set for sustainable success. Otherwise, contact centers run the risk of exceedingly long and difficult onboarding processes, which can have negative consequences in our fast-paced environment.
Eliminate Agent Stress with the Right Tools
Once agents are on the job, they're charged with engaging customers and supporting them in real time. In today's omnichannel landscape, that engagement can take shape in an ever-growing number of ways. The skill sets required expand beyond answering phones or responding to emails—agents need to be able to navigate digital channels like text, chat and social while understanding the nuances of each. What might be read as a positive emoji via text could have different implications if sent via private social messenger.
Without the right technology to bring these channels together cohesively, omnichannel can be a significant source of agent stress. The study found that the number of channels agents are balancing is the second most common stressor (67%), just behind the amount of paid time off they receive (75%). Interestingly, this problem isn't rooted in the channels themselves but rather the interface that they are using to navigate these channels.
If agents are forced to toggle between 12 windows at any given time, it can feel as if they're playing whack-a-mole as opposed to delivering meaningful customer service. By seamlessly unifying channels in one easy-to-use desktop interface, the modern cloud contact center platform eliminates agent strain by easing both training processes and moment-to-moment toggling between screens, so agents can spend more time on customers and less time on chasing down channels.
Give Your Agents Room to Grow
According to The State of Experience and Engagement in Today's Contact Centers, the number one cause of agent attrition in the contact center is a lack of career advancement opportunities. Agents want to know that an upward trajectory for them is on the horizon, and that there's a clear path to achieve that goal.
Adopting and embracing of omnichannel is a powerful way to support this need. When polled, 54% of agents already believe that expanding omnichannel skills is a beneficial career move. Furthermore, omnichannel can have a direct impact on financial compensation: In one-third of organizations, agents who handle multiple channels as opposed to one are paid more than their peers—upward of 10%. The promise of career growth helps agents get invested in the organization and themselves, much like contact centers look to build investment from customers into the brand and what has to offer.
Treat Employees as Customers
You can't move customer satisfaction without moving employee satisfaction. Research firm Gartner has revealed that 86% of CX executives rank employee experience as a top factor in delivering CX. In today's experience economy, organizations need to approach their customer experience (CX) and agent experience (AX) experience strategies holistically. True, effective customer centricity simply cannot be achieved without paying equal attention to the very professionals who execute it day after day. When the right people are matched with the right omnichannel tools, building exceptional experiences becomes scalable and effortless.

Hercules in the Haunted World (1961)
June 12, 2015 March 19, 2019 ~ monsterhunter
A fun and colorful film, Hercules in the Haunted World gloriously features Reg Park, one of our beefiest Hercules (his pecs are the size of a mere mortal's head) and whose acting consists of standing around talking in a dubbed monotone, while periodically swinging giant papier-mâché stones over his head. British horror legend Christopher Lee also shows up as the evil King Lico. Obviously he lost some kind of bet.
Hercules and life partner Thesus arrive at the kingdom where Herc's girlfriend, Princess Deianira, resides. The queen has died and even though Deianira was supposed to assume the throne, her kindly uncle with the evil haircut (Lee) has taken over for her because she is sick.
With his bowl shaped hair and dark clothes, it doesn't take a genius to see that Lico is up to no good and is in league with Pluto. Of course, Hercules' smarts are all in his massive arms and not his head. So when he's told that to lift a curse afflicting Deianira, all he has to do is go down to Hades and get a magic rock that Pluto has, he tells Thesus to fire up the magic ship and make for Hades.
Even though Herc encounters obstacle after obstacle, he meets them all with gritty determination. I'm assuming that Reg Park's limited emotional range (it vacillated from muscleman pose to sticking his jaw out to thrusting his pecs in my face) comes from a steely confidence in the face of a crazy suicide mission and not just the fact that his acting background was being Mr. Universe three times.
Hercules in the Haunted World had many memorable moments: Christopher Lee being dubbed by someone who surely wasn't him, Medea periodically intoning some vital bit of information in a voice that reminded me of Jean from the Freedom School in Billy Jack, and even Thesus wussing out and falling into a lava pit to his death, only to reappear unharmed moments later with his new girlfriend Persephone, but for true Hercules fans, the hunky highlight is when Hercules fell out of an evil tree!
There he was climbing up this big, nasty tree trying to retrieve a golden apple when all of a sudden there's sparks, lightning, and explosions like you usually see up in the tops of really, big, villainous trees and poor old Herc is taking a header toward the ground below!
He survives falling out of the tree (he is Hercules after all) and secures the apple with an assist from Zeus. The women who were watching the apple tell him good job, but while you were flopping down the beefcake tree and hitting every branch your friends were being harassed by a rock guy named Procrustes!
Procrustes likes to cut and stretch everyone to fit in his beds. Hercules confronts Procrustes and we get one of our many guffaws as we see a guy in a really soft, foamy, rock suit lurching around, his voice sounding like an old, sinister computer!
Hercules has seen lots of fake-looking monsters in his career and is thus unimpressed by this rocky dude and simply picks him up and hurls him into a wall of rocks, breaking open the doorway to Hades! (Is Hercules a master tactician or what?)
Hercules has to climb over lava pits, dive into fire and avoid chained up maidens as he makes his way to this glowing rock that Pluto has. Once he gets it, the action and fantastical adventure is only beginning!
He spends the rest of the film trying to save Deianira from the clutches of Lico as Lico tries to use Deianira's blood in his own body so that something diabolical will happen. It's all because Pluto has cursed the place after Theseus has hooked up with Persephone, who is Pluto's favorite daughter. (It's always a muscleman's twink who causes all the trouble, isn't it?)
Director Mario Bava (Planet of the Vampires) brings his signature style to a lot of this movie, especially regarding the use of colors in his lighting. He's able to shoot scenes in reds and blues that give things an eerie, otherworldly feel. Perhaps even more importantly, his inventive use of lighting also allows him to mask the cheap sets to good effect.
The plot didn't always make much sense as it charged from one action scene to another and the pacing of the movie was strange to say the least (characters stand around talking about what they have to go and do, then they do it, then they talk about what they have to do next and go and do that and so on throughout the film), but Bava smartly never gets bogged down in one location and the rapid fire nature of things combined with the unique visuals make it an enjoyable muscle stud romp despite the questionable story, the laughable attempts at acting, and the high school play sets.

Port Hardy school sending food home to students in need
Hunger doesn't take the weekend — or a pandemic — off
Zoe Ducklow, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Jun. 5, 2020 6:35 a.m.
Port Hardy's elementary school has partnered with Backpack Buddies to distribute food to students in need.
Every Friday, support staff open the school for families to pick up six meals of child-friendly food that's easy to prepare without adult supervision.
The Vancouver-based non-profit organization supplies non-perishable food like Kraft Dinner and canned spaghetti. The weekly bags are supplemented with fresh food from the B.C. School Fruit and Vegetable program, and the Nanaimo-based Loaves and Fishes food bank.
Child poverty in the north Island is one of the three highest regions in B.C., according to the official 2017 Canadian census. Provincially, one in five children live in poverty – in the Mount Waddington region, it's one in three.
Eagle View principal Jillian Walkus sees her school as a natural access point to address child hunger.
"It's a basic human right for children to have food, and food security is a problem for a number of families. And it's something we can do."
RELATED With child poverty in Port Hardy a growing concern, what can be done to help families struggling to get by?
Of the school's 220 students, 48 signed up to receive the food packages, and Walkus expects more will join if the program extends.
It started in May as a pilot, and will run until the end of June. Now that the school knows they can manage the workload — it takes support staff four hours to break down the bulk pallets into 192 individual bags, and a few hours each Friday to supplement bags with fresh food for pick-up — they are interested in extending the program through the summer and into the next school year.
"Hunger doesn't take a break on the weekend just because school isn't in session. And it's the same for summer – families are still in need," she said. Walkus is reaching out to participating families to find out if they want the program to continue.
When school is in session, Eagle View serves breakfast five days a week, and has groceries on hand to make emergency lunches. They typically make 16-20 lunches a day for students who arrive without food. Food programs are made possible with support from Breakfast for Learning, B.C. School Fruit and Vegetable program, Harvest Foods Food Bank, and donations from the Lions club and the school PAC.
Discussions to start a Backpack Buddies program in the north Island began long before the coronavirus caused schools to close. In October, Mount Waddington Community Food Initiative leader Leslie Dyck connected School District 85 with Backpack Buddies. By January, funding to start the pilot program was confirmed, and the first delivery was sent in May. Don Kattler with the Ministry of Children and Family Development has been instrumental in supporting the program, Walkus said.
Eagle View is just one school receiving the Backpack Buddies deliveries – Port Hardy Secondary School, Sunset Elementary in Port McNeill, Gwa'sala-Nakwaxda'xw Elementary school and the 'Namgis T'lisalagi'lakw School in Alert Bay are also participating in the Backpack Buddies program.
Pallets of non-perishable food are delivered monthly to Eagle View where they are separated for each school, and then packed into bags.

India's de Villiers is seasoned in Suryakumar's team
India's de Villiers is seasoned in Suryakumar's team
ZBRAdmin August 18, 2022 2 min read
Bangla Hunt News Desk: Suryakumar Yadav has shown great rhythm with the bat in the recent past. The three-match T20I series against England and the five-match T20I series against the West Indies lacked consistency, but he played some entertaining innings. It can be assumed that the number four spot in the Indian team in the Asia Cup and the upcoming T20 World Cup has somehow been allotted to him.
What most Indian cricket fans like about Suryakumar Yadav's batting is his range of shots. He has two or three different shots for a certain type of delivery. The delivery he can easily hook over the head of fine leg to the gallery, the same type of delivery he can uppercut over the head of short third man for a boundary.
For this quality of Suryakumar Yadav, many people call him the 360° player of India. Earlier, the South African legend AB de Villiers ruled the world cricket under this name. He also had the power to make people marvel at his batting. The delivery he could have sent over the head of mid-off to the gallery, against the kind of bowling he would have had the power to guide the ball to the square-leg boundary with a light flick outside the off-stump. So former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has given some approval to this comparison of 'AB' with Suryakumar Yadav.
He is hopeful that he will see Suryakumar Yadav not only in the World Cup squad but also in the Indian team's starting XI.
Ricky Ponting watched Suryakumar Yadav from a very young age when he was part of the Mumbai Indians team. He praised the courage of the Indian star and said that Suryakumar never hesitates to play any shot which is a sign of a very good and strong mentality. Ricky Ponting believes Surya Kumar Yadav has already proved himself a match winner for India. However, like AB de Villiers and not opener Suryakumar Yadav, Ponting said he would prefer to see the Indian star batting in the middle order (at number 4). Suryakumar Yadav has already scored 672 runs with a strike-rate above 175 in just 23 international T20 matches. He is now the second best batsman behind Babar Azam in the T20 rankings. If he performs well in the Asia Cup, he can even surpass Babar Azam.

The sheriff's office said the grandmother's account of the incident matched the evidence at the scene, as well as the victim's injuries.
Investigators determined that the child had gained access to an unsecured firearm and accidentally shot the mother, identified as 33-year-old Cora Lyn Bush. She later succumbed to her injuries at the hospital.
A forensic autopsy was scheduled for earlier Thursday. The sheriff's office told Fox News an investigation is ongoing, without providing additional details.

Haggard, H Rider
Entry updated 7 August 2021. Tagged: Author.
(1856-1925) UK civil servant, lawyer, agricultural expert and author. Haggard spent the years 1875-1881 in the Colonial Service in South Africa, where he gained much of the material for his fiction. On his return to the UK he read for the bar while at the same time beginning to produce novels and other work. With his third and fourth published novels, King Solomon's Mines (1885) and the even more successful She: A History of Adventure (2 October 1886-8 January 1887 The Graphic; cut 1886; full text 1887), Haggard was catapulted into fame, and soon left the bar; he was knighted in 1912. These two novels of anthropological sf remain his most famous; they established a pattern he would follow for the rest of his career. That pattern – which seems central to the shaping of what much later became known as Imperial Gothic – might also be described as a central model for Edgar Rice Burroughs and the Science-Fantasy subgenre whose popularity attended the latter's revival in the 1960s: it is a pattern in which realistic portraits of the contemporary world (in Haggard's case South Africa) are combined with backward-looking displacements (in his case invoking Lost Worlds, Immortality and Reincarnation) to give a general effect of deep nostalgia. Haggard was fascinated by ruins, ancient civilizations and primitive customs, attempting to use their resonances as a kind of radar to locate himself (and his readers) in the precarious and fragile late-imperialist world which had also fixed his imagination (see Ruins and Futurity); the works of his later years are now read as rebarbatively defensive of the values that made it possible to create an empire. His allied interest in the Pseudoscience of Spiritualism link him to such contemporaries as Bulwer Lytton and Marie Corelli, though in fact his central literary friendships were with Andrew Lang and Rudyard Kipling; he shared with the latter a fin de siècle sense – which proved entirely accurate – that the British Empire was on the wane. His prose was sometimes overblown, but he was a gifted storyteller with a powerful imagination and the ability to create memorable heroic figures, like the Zulu Umslopogaas, whose early life is the subject of the remarkable Nada the Lily (1892).
Umslopogaas appears also in Haggard's principal sequence, the novels about white hunter Allan Quatermain which gave Africa to the world as a great adventure and romantic haven in the mind's eye, and to which he added sequels and prequels throughout his career. The Checklist (see below) presents these titles in order of publication; the sequence is given here, however, in order of internal chronology, the dates in which they are set preceding the titles: 1835-1838 Marie: An Episode in the Life of the Late Allan Quatermain (September 1911-February 1912 Cassell's Magazine; 1912); 1842-1869 Allan's Wife (1887), which was incorporated into Allan's Wife and Other Tales (coll 1889; exp vt Hunter Quatermain's Story: The Uncollected Adventures of Allan Quatermain 2003); 1854-1856 Child of Storm (1913); 1859 Maiwa's Revenge; Or, the War of the Little Hand (July-August 1888 Harper's New Monthly Magazine; 1888), a short novel narrated much later by Quatermain in a Club Story frame; 1870 The Holy Flower (December 1913-November 1914 Windsor Magazine; 1915; vt Allan and the Holy Flower 1915); 1871 Heu-Heu, or The Monster (March 1922-March 1923 Hutchinson's Story Magazine; 1924); 1872 She and Allan (July 1919-March 1920 Story Magazine as "She Meets Allan"; 1921); 1873 The Treasure of the Lake (February-May 1926 Hutchinson's Adventure-Story Magazine; 1926); 1874 The Ivory Child (2 January-1 May 1915 Melbourne Argus; 1916); 1879 Finished (January-May 1917 Adventure; 1917); 1879 "Magepa the Buck" (Christmas 1912 Pears' Annual) in Smith and the Pharaohs and Other Tales (coll 1920); 1880 King Solomon's Mines (1885); 1882 The Ancient Allan (March-October 1919 Cassell's Magazine; 1920); 1883 Allan and the Ice Gods: A Tale of Beginnings (1927); 1884-1885 Allan Quatermain: Being an Account of his Further Adventures and Discoveries in Company with Sir Henry Curtis, Bart., Commander John Good, R.N., and one Umslopogaas (January-August 1887 Longman's Magazine; 1887; vt Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold 1999) [see Checklist for movie adaptation]. The precise period covered in A Tale of Three Lions (October-December 1887 Atalanta; 1887 chap US; rev as coll, vt Allan the Hunter; A Tale of Three Lions 1898) was not determined.
Not all these books could be described as Science Fantasy, but all project that sense of desiderium – the longing for that which may never have existed, but which now seems poignantly lost – that lies at the heart of true science fantasy; and those titles written late in Haggard's career – like The Ancient Allan, a tale of love-death set in Egypt – confusedly adhere to outmoded political values (see above), while at the same time they express their author's potent (but submerged) sexuality in venues so remote that a suppressed libidinousness can become, occasionally, almost explicit. But Allan and the Ice Gods, which generally conforms to this description, interestingly sends Quatermain thrown back in time by means of a Drug where he inhabits the body of a paleolithic man through a process of Identity Transfer (see also Prehistoric SF); his attempts to Uplift his new people force upon him an awareness of the decrepitude of modern civilization, and he desists.
It is, however, in the Ayesha sequence that Haggard's Victorian libido found easiest release from the chains of the present. The sequence comprises She: A History of Adventure (2 October 1886-8 January 1887 The Graphic; cut 1886; full text 1887; cut W T Stead, vt She: A Romance of Marvel and Mystery 1896; rev vt The Annotated She 1991 US [see Checklist for full title] ed Norman Etherington is a variorum text with erratic additional notes); Ayesha: The Return of She (December 1904-October 1905 Windsor Magazine; 1905; vt The Return of She: Ayesha 1967); She and Allan, which provides a link with the Quatermain series; and Wisdom's Daughter: The Life and Love Story of She-Who-Must-be-Obeyed (March 1922-March 1923 Hutchinson's Story Magazine; 1923). Haggard created here, in the immortal and subversive Ayesha, what has come to seem an abiding emblem of that longing for "primitive" transcendence that typically marks the end of eras; but her lamia-like sexual power over men, which is presented as being parasitic upon the male principle, typically exemplifies Late Victorian male wrestling with issues of Sex and race; her sudden ageing in the first volume of the sequence (later volumes dally inconsequentially with her earlier life) has an effect both tragic and petty (see Apes as Human). The World's Desire (April-December 1890 New Review; 1890), with Andrew Lang, a pendant to the main series, is in part a Fantastic Voyage tale which carries Odysseus into new adventures, during which he discovers that Helen of Troy and Ayesha are one. A knotted eroticism also infuses When the World Shook: Being an Account of the Great Adventure of Bastin, Bickley, and Arbuthnot (November 1918-April 1919 The Quiver; 1919), a novel plotted in part by Kipling (who later helped Haggard with Allan and the Ice Gods): the three eponymous Victorians find the high priest of Atlantis in Suspended Animation; having caused the first Flood, he is about to start another; his daughter, likewise discovered, causes ructions in the hearts of the three.
Haggard can seem both heated and evasive to modern readers, but read in context he is a figure of very considerable power, an exemplar of his times, a stirrer in deep waters. [DP/JC]
