The Enya Nova Concert Ukulele is a brilliant addition to your instrument line-up. It is acoustic-electric, carbon fiber, lightweight, and packs a punch of vibrant sound.

Solitary constructions. In this factory I build a life worth living. In retrograde you destroy all I’ve built. When you see the life I’m living, You know that I don’t measure up to your standards. Carry me, I’ll sing you a song. From hardened chords and melody, I offer you all I’ve got to give. Re-map the schematics. Measure twice, and cut me from my mold. Replace me, with 3-d printed structures. That fit the type you always wanted to have and hold. Tools are deceptive, Just when you think you’ve got a handle, You drive the hammer right onto your thumb. You limber up, and bend before you breakdown, You need a hand that lifts you from the toil, and sets you free. Now you’re here with me, Everything that I imagined. Now you’re here with me, And everything is finally happening for me. Music in this channel is written, recorded, and produced by Danny Hauger.

Bee Madness is one of the coolest indie guitar pedal makers in the world. I was pretty excited to read on their Reverb store page (https://bit.ly/328P0pe) about their exclusive boutique designs. As an independent writer of free weekly songs, I want to stand out and “bee” different, and this is the perfect partner for this video. If you have been in the market for a guitar pedal, take a look at their exclusive offerings. This Vico Vibe vibrato guitar pedal responds instantly to turning the control knobs, is sturdy, and vastly changes the level of the guitar alteration for a defining and distinctive sound. It is the best vibrato effect I have ever used in my studio, or digitally. I am not being paid for this review, but was sent this unit for review purposes. Moshe and his wife, a family owned and designing T-shirt business, have designed some awesome nostalgia and current pop culture clothing that will be the center of your rotation. I was reflecting on the “Gamer Dads are the Coolest Dads” shirt, and thinking about how growing up with video games has defined a generation. I would say in a good way, a playful, challenging, engaging hobby that led to many enjoyable hours and a fun childhood. Now I look to how many fun shirts that CoolCatDesigns has made on Etsy, and it makes me smile that this store encapsulates the fun of now being an adult with these memories. Look at all of their designs on their Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CoolCatDesignsStore?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=675981155  I am not being paid for this review, but was sent this shirt for review purposes.   You can support me by:*Buying Danny Hauger music on iTunes and Amazon*Streaming Danny Hauger on Spotify*Subscribing Danny Hauger Podcasts on iTunes or download weekly free songs from Danny Hauger: http://dannyhauger.podbean.com/ *Share or buy my Teachers Pay Teachers resources: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Haugerhistory *Download my educational shows from the Hauger History Podcast at haugerhistory.podbean.com *Support this free podcast and get in touch at www.dannyhauger.com *Twitter: @DannyHauger and @DHXmusic*Subscribe to this YouTube Channel!

On November 20th, 17th I had the chance to go and interview my former teacher and mentor Melba Pattillo Beals. Melba was my radio teacher at Dominican University of California, she was also Communications Department chair, and this interview features conversation about history, parenting, and loving yourself and others around you. Melba was one of the Little Rock 9 who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. As one of my 8th grade students pointed out, she is in our history books, but to me, she was a teacher and mentor for my first year and a half of college. In a year and a half at San Rafael, I was fortunate enough to gain a wider lens to focus my own perspective. I was taken back mentally to the college classroom above the library where we met twice a week. I hope you enjoy this conversation nearly as much as I did. It was really nice to sit and discuss philosophy and outlook on life with Melba. Melba inspired me to take a challenging road once and a while, and value myself along the road of life, even when you can't see what's coming around the corner. There were a lot of takeaway quotes from Melba, and I decided to highlight a few of the most motivating quotes with on screen caption. This interview is a touching part of my past and my future simultaneously. I think we all can gain some insights and perspective from Melba's wisdom. We discuss education, faith, and potential, among many other topics. Not just a conversation about Central High School in Little Rock, we discuss a wide range of topics and I found it both informative and entertaining. To me, Its a cross section of American history and humanity. It was a pleasure to get to spend so much time discussing the uplifting side of the human spirit.

Happy Halloween everyone! Do you know the history of Halloween? In this edition we unearth some of the harvest festivals and Roman holidays that evolved over time to our own trick or treating! Enjoy the episode, for educational purposes (so if you're not entertained, go get some candy or something). Thanks for listening!Hauger History Halloween!This podcast is intended for educational purposes only. Entertainment not guaranteed. How did the howling of halloween historically hitch itself?On the Eve of All Soul’s Day, in the Liturgical calendar of the Church, in a week 500 years after Martin Luther posted his theses, on the doors of Schlosskirche. The Gaelic festival Sowin, spelled Samhain, widely observed in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of man preparing cattle and harvests for fall. OriginsThe Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1st. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with the end of life.Celts believed the division between the living and dead becomes less defined.  The Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn produce and animals as a form of sacrifice to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, often consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes. When the party was finished, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the dangers coming winter.By the year 43 CE, Romans had expanded their empire conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints’, All Saints’, and All Souls’, were called Hallowmas. (History.com)The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as “going a-souling” was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.The Hauger History podcast is designed for Social Studies and History Students in Middle School Grades 6-8.

Hey teachers everywhere! Mr. Hauger here with a great idea for classroom interactions with your students. Print and cut a list of your favorite journal or speech prompts and put them into a glass jar, or any container you have in the room. Choose a student at random, or take volunteers and have them draw a topic and speak for one minute. If the class appreciates the speech, they snap, and if the majority of students snap, the speaker has been successful. You can modify this public speech activity in many ways, but its a winner in my classroom, and I thought you might appreciate the idea!   Thanks for listening and subscribing!

I love using games to help learn or develop a fun atmosphere in the classroom. I believe that teachers (including myself) should always be striving to make the classroom more dynamic and playing games like password liven up the classroom and still require students to think and participate critically which can help in learning vocabulary or just enjoying a moment with other students collaborating. The rules I play with are:1. Students may only give one-word clues. 2. No names3. No gestures. You can make your own rules as well!

Having some advice and tips on how to choose a college may help narrow the selection and application process for you. College rankings are fine, but they apply to students in general, and not to your specific needs. Think and reflect on my 5 tips for choosing the right college. Hosted by Mr Hauger. College selection can be a stressful and trying time for high school students looking to take the next step on their academic and personal journeys. Today I spoke with nearly 200 high school students in Martinez about their goals and wishes for their future. I was surprised how many students asked me what the most important factors were for choosing a college. I was glad to supply them with 5 fundamental reasons to consider before selecting a college to attend or apply to and I am happy to share them in this conversational podcast with Mr. Hauger, a first in a series.

Most were being terribly mistreated at the time. Her tireless work, lobbying, research, records, and legislation began to see a change for the better over time, because of her dedication to helping others.

What do you know about Islam? Maybe that the word Islam comes the Arabic root "Salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience. Maybe you know that it's The fastest growing religion in the world, the center of study for millions in the United States, and a trending topic on Social Media everywhere. In today’s edition of the Hauger History podcast, we separate hype and fiction, and discuss some of the origins of Islam for MIddle School Students. Thanks for joining us on this 6th grade edition of Hauger HIstory Podcast with Mr. Hauger, I am the second part. Today we discuss the origins and spread of Islam. Thanks for listening, you can find the Hauger History Podcast on YouTube at the Danny Hauger Channel, at Haugerhistory.podbean.com, on itunes, or on Twitter @HaugerHistory. (www.dannyhauger.com)  Islam began on the Arabian Peninsula and spread outward. Islamic traders from the Arabian Peninsula who traveled to Persian, Egypt, Spain, and elsewhere brought their religion with them. Islam spread through trade, war, and peace. Today, more than a billion people around the world practice Islam, and the Middle East, which includes the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the most important regions in the world. In this unit, you will take a closer look at this region. The prophet Muhammad was born sometime around 570 C.E. (For a Christian reference point, this was about 540 years or so after the time of Jesus. Muhammad taught of a faith called Islam. The word Islam comes the Arabic root "Salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience. Followers of Islam are called Muslim. Muslim is an Arabic word that means one who submits to Allah. Allah is told to be the same God worshipped by the JEws and Christians, who are often referred to as people of the book. Islam shares many of the Old Testament and Christian prophets. Muhammad teaches that he is the seal of the prophets, who is the final messenger with a direct line of communication to teach the will of God. Muhammad’s birthplace, Mecca, was an ancient place of worship and is sacred ground for Muslims. There are also many relevant locations to Abraham and other Old Testament prophets, building on the history of the people of the book and making reference to it.   Abraham built a house of worship at the site, called the Ka’bah. Over time, people settled near it. By the time of Muhammad’s birth, this settlement, now known as Meccas, was a prosperous city at the crossroads of great trade routes. Muhammad had a difficult time growing up, losing his father, and was sent to live with a family of nomads in the desert. He learned the skills of being a merchant from his family and became a skilled trader, and communicator who won the respect of colleagues and people around him. He married an influential woman at 25 and had several children. Between 610 and 611 CE, Muhammad had a vision within a cave in the Mountains and was visited by the Angel Gabriel. He was told he was a messenger of God. His teachings were recorded by his followers in the Qur’an, as Muhammad could neither read nor write. Not everyone accepted him readily as a prophet, and he was met with significant resistance. The ideals of charity, peace, and generosity won many people over as Muhammad continued to travel and teach people of his faith. Muhammad led an army to eventually remove all previous idols of worship in Mecca, and did so without battle, after finding loyalty from other clans and tribes who were appreciative of his message. After Muhammad’s death shortly after, there was disagreement over who should continue to lead the faith, Abu Bakr, the chosen Caliph, or Muslim Ruler, Bakr used military force and converted much of the Arabian Peninsula. Caliph Umar continued to expand territory of Muslim influence after Bakr’s death. Most Muslims, called Sunnis, supported the line of the Caliphate, as leaders of Islam. A split came when Shi’ah Muslims, believed that true leadership could only come from Muhammad’s bloodline through his daughter Fatima, should be acknowledged as the true leaders of the faith. Many people came to worship and make pilgrimage to the Ka’bah. This still occurs today, as one of the five pillars of Muslim faith, to make at least one trip to Mecca in your life, if you are able. After Muhammad’s call to faith and diligent work, which was challenged by many at the time, the Ka’bah became a center of Islamic worship as the faith spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam. Its pages record Muhammad's teachings. Eric Von Seggern/Shutterstock Importance to modern day: In the religious sense, Islam means submission to the will of God and obedience to His law. A Pew Research poll in 2015  are predicting a jump from 1.6 to 2.7 billion Muslims by the year 2050 if current trends continue (Becoming nearly 31% of the world’s population).

6th graders day today! We started studying the Kingdom of Israel around 1000 B.C.E.My students had plenty of questions about things they know, read, and have heard growing up. This brought plenty of reason to record a synopsis podcast for our first day to follow a lesson about geography, the stories of the Old Testament, and our day studing King David and Solomon. This podcast goes very well with a Powerpoint by another teaching colleague, Mrs. McLaughlin, and I thank her for posting her educational presentation as well. The more resources the better, right?

I can't think of a single American who embodies the qualities of a leader more than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He is my favorite American. He deserves his holiday, in a country where individual people have very few national holidays to memorialize them. His efforts and legacy live on as a reminder to me to do what I can for equality and justice. I am grateful to have been taught about his important work, and in a small podcast effort, in my humble way, offer this moment of thanks to Dr. King for his tireless work, and that I should remember to teach my students that the work is not yet over.  "Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) is my favorite American. Bravery as notable as any figure, humility to take on a great cause without expecting personal gain, and dignity, the belief in rights and equality, with the presence of mind and persistence to continue his important work, regardless of consequences. Students, this podcast is a preview of a great man, in all senses. I encourage you to follow up this podcast with some research of your own. Dr. King was a Baptist minister and an educated man from morehouse College, where he started at age 15, Crozer Theological Seminary, and graduate school at Boston university. He was well read. He gained from theorists, philosophers, and became school class president senior year in a mostly white class. We often speak about King’s role as asocial activist. His pivotal role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Gandhi, King towards equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind cornerstone events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986. Here are a few tips you might not have known, according to NewsFoxes: 1. King’s birth name was Michael, not Martin. The civil rights leader was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929. In 1934, however, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his 5-year-old son. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech was not his first at the Lincoln Memorial. Six years before his iconic oration at the March on Washington, King was among the civil rights leaders who spoke in the shadow of the Great Emancipator during the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957. Before a crowd estimated at between 15,000 and 30,000, King delivered his first national address on the topic of voting rights. His speech, in which he urged America to “give us the ballot,” drew strong reviews and positioned him at the forefront of the civil rights leadership. King was jailed 29 times. According to the King Center, the civil rights leader went to jail nearly 30 times. He was arrested for acts of civil disobedience and on trumped-up charges, such as when he was jailed in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 for driving 30 miles per hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. King narrowly escaped an assassination attempt a decade before his death, on September 20, 1958, King was in Harlem signing copies of his new book, “Stride Toward Freedom,” in Blumstein’s department store when he was approached by Izola Ware Curry. The woman asked if he was Martin Luther King Jr. After he said yes, Curry said, “I’ve been looking for you for five years,” and she plunged a seven-inch letter opener into his chest. The tip of the blade came to rest alongside his aorta, and King underwent hours of delicate emergency surgery. Surgeons later told King that just one sneeze could have punctured the aorta and killed him. From his hospital bed where he convalesced for weeks, King issued a statement affirming his nonviolent principles and saying he felt no ill will toward his mentally ill attacker.
