Interesting and emotive title for a story in the Guardian about the United Kingdom preparing claims on the ocean floors surrounding several of its island territories. One of the claims includes the Falklands Island, close to Antarctica, the reason, mineral resources, similar to the recent Russian actions in the Arctic. Futures anyone….

There is now a webpage on the Geographical Association website about the project I have been involved with on webcams, some nice ideas already. I need to start writing up my parts now…

Here are the statistics I promised from our holiday postcard display.

Our sample

• Travelled to 19 different countries, with most people holidaying in the United Kingdom, Wales was very popular.
• We travelled to 3 different continents, North America, Africa and Europe. Europe being the most popular.
• The total number of miles we travelled was 45,220, this could take us 5 times around the equator.
• The furthest distance travelled was by a member of staff was Miss Lancashire, to Hawaii.
• The furthest distance travelled by a student was Stringy, to Mauritius.
• The shortest distance travelled was by the staff of the office, who travelled 11.3 metres to my pigeonhole.
• The average distance travelled was 1739 miles.
• Mr Hayden wins the award for outstanding contribution, for travelling to Albania and then doing battle with officials to post it.

Thanks to all, I’m now worrying about our carbon footprint…

For both myself and Stringy, our blogs have both appeared in the appendix of a piece of research by Phil Wood on advances in e-learning in Geography, part of a new Geographical Association online publication. Thanks to Alan for the hat-tip.

Saturday is my DVD catch up day, apart from ‘The Lives of Others’, which is excellent and a nice background for those going to Berlin, I purchased this blast from the past ‘Last Place on Earth’, the last hour we’ll use in class, because I think the failings and challenges of Scott’s expedition will inform your coursework nicely. Stars a young Martin Shaw and a younger Hugh Grant, I was nine when this was first released, but it has aged well… produced by Central, remember them?

The postcard display is now complete and in the main Humanities area, thanks to all staff and students that contributed, Mrs Marston and her gang for putting it together, who ever thought coloured string could be so exciting,and Alan for the original idea.

I have completed a statistical analysis of our travels which I’ll post over the weekend, sorry I left it on my desk tonight!
