Rivington is a village and civil parish of the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, occupying . It is about  southeast of Chorley and about  northwest of Bolton.  Rivington is a rural area consisting primarily of agricultural grazing land, moorland, with hill summits including Rivington Pike and Winter Hill within the West Pennine Moors. The area has a thriving tourist industry centred around reservoirs created to serve Liverpool in the Victorian era and Lever Park created as a public park by William Lever at the turn of the 20th century, with two converted barns, a replica of Liverpool Castle and open countryside. Rivington and Blackrod High School is located here. Rivington and its village had a population of 109 at the 2011 Census.

History

Toponymy

The name Rivington is made up of three elements: riv is from the Old English hrēof meaning rough or rugged; ing is a place name forming suffix that seems to have crept in over the years; the last is the Old English tūn meaning a farmstead, estate or settlement. Together they indicate a farmstead or settlement at the rough or rugged place. Another suggestion is a place at the rowan trees.

Rivington was recorded in many ways in earlier centuries, Rowinton, Rawinton, and Revington were used in 1202; Ruhwinton in 1212, Riuiton in 1226, Rowynton and Rouynton in 1278, Roynton in 1332, Rouyngton in 1400, Revyngton although rare, from the 14th until the 16th century the area was known as 'Rovington', being the name used on a Royal Charter in 1566 along with an alias of 'Ryvington'.

Early history
A Neolithic or Bronze Age stone, with a cup and ring mark dating from between 2000 and 3000 BC, was found near the Lower Rivington Reservoir in 1999. It is possible that settlements have existed in the area around Rivington since the Bronze Age. Arrowheads, a flint knife, scrapers and the remains of cremations were excavated from a Bronze Age cairn at Noon Hill in 1958 and 1963–64. It is possible that the name Coblowe on the eastern bank of the Lower Rivington Reservoir derives from the Old English hlaw, a hill, which denoted an ancient barrow or burial place. Evidence for the existence of a settlement here in Anglo-Saxon times is found in the Rivington and Coblowe names.

Manor

Although the manor is not registered at the land registry, the manor has a long history with the majority share of seven-eights originally held by the Pilkington family of Lancashire and is recorded as early as 1212 This share had reduced to five-eights at the sale of the manor in 1611 to their relations Robert Lever and Thomas Breres. Inheritance of the Pilkington share of the manor is assumed next to have passed by inheritance alongside Rivington hall thereafter. In 1729 John Andrews of Little Lever purchased the Breres' share of Hall and its associated land and his property was inherited by the Cromptons by the nineteenth century. Other owners of the manor were by a quarter originally owned by the Lathoms and an eighth by the Shaws. In 1765 the Shaws and their relations the Roscoes inherited the one-eight share.

Landmarks

The most prominent of all buildings in Rivington is on the skyline at the summit of Rivington Pike is the tower, one of twenty eight listed buildings.

Outside the village centre landmarks include Rivington Hall and its adjacent Hall Barn. At Lever Park on the bank of the Lower Rivington Reservoir is a replica of Liverpool Castle, Great House Barn, serving Tea's and snacks. What was Lever Park Information center at Great House Farm is now used by the Heritage Trust.

On the hillside the former Bungalow Grounds contain eleven listed structures, being remains of its garden features, a feature visible on the skyline is the Pigeon Tower, now surrounded by woodland. The area was a former gardens and now has many woodland paths of crazy paving and preserved stone gardens structures.

Within the village buildings with listed status are Wilkinson's and cottage attached to right, Rivington School, Rivington Church and the Unitarian Chapel, the two latter being active places of worship. Fisher house operated as a school in the mid Victorian period and later as a Temperance Hotel in that era, it is now a secluded private residence.  The village stocks are a feature on Rivington village green, inscribed "T W 1719" on the stone base.

Near Horrobin Embankment, Horrobin Lane which passes between the Lower and Upper Rivington reservoirs is a car park, this was the former site of the Black O'Moors Hotel and Bowling Green Public House, adjacent is Rivington Bowling Club, Bowling Green and Club House, operating as a Tea Room from 11am.

Social History

Rivington was once an arable farming and grazing agricultural-based area transformed after 1850 by the Rivington Reservoir Scheme, which led to new businesses providing for a large number of workers that arrived for what was a large scale build. As the Lower Rivington Reservoir was completed the tourist industry was also born and has since been dominant alongside farming. Prior to this Rivington was a rural village built around what is now the village green. Its inhabitants were employed in agriculture on scattered local farms. The textile industry was a secondary form of income until the industrial revolution, alongside farming. Textile bleaching took place on the River Douglas at Knoll Wood which was closed to protect the water catchment of the reservoirs and demolished in 1868 by Liverpool Corporation, some remnants of its dam still remain. The
Cottage Industry of Handloom weaving and use of the Putting-out system was common in the 18th to early 19th century, Samuel Oldknow was a prominent local figure, his family grave being at the Unitarian Chapel. Income was also generated from the quarries, coal mining was on a small scale at Rivington Moor. Rivington Moor Colliery employed two workers mining coal for local use.

The house, New Hall, opposite the Chapel, until its demolition by Liverpool Corporation in 1905 operated a commercial slaughterhouse, the house had a date stone of 1642, and its barn, which survived demolition built in the early 19th century has since been converted into a house in 2015. New Hall was a former dwelling of the Pilkington family over centuries, in 1544 reference is made to its adjacent field, Ferneley possessed by the family from at least 1336 The house was sold in 1611 to George Aynesworth.

Water Power

Prior to the reservoirs the valley of Rivington was mostly farmland, with little natural woodland, a small village with stone cottages, and a pub. The valley had a stream flowing through, crossed by packhorse bridges. Lester Mill was located near the upper reservoir and there was a mill utilising water power once located where now stands the village hall, the mill was used as a smithy in the 19th to early 20th century.  A further water mill was located at Rivington Hall. In the 19th century, farming was reduced with the construction of reservoirs. The area of the Rivington Unitarian Chapel is named Mill Hill on the 1848 OS map and extended to Croft Bridge, crossing Hall Brook. The Victorian 'School Houses' became known as Mill Hill cottages.  Mill Dam wood is at the rear of the Vicarage, a pond existed there prior to the reservoir construction, on the watercourse is a ruin that could be a past water wheel house.

A water mill and kiln was mentioned in a deed of 1544 and sale agreement of Rivington Hall in 1611, use of a kiln would have been part of the agricultural milling process.  A water mill was once located in a small deep valley at the rear of the hall.

Water Catchment

The Industrial Revolution  ended the viability of cottage industries such as weaving, small mines closed and the long-term population decreased as the Water Authority cleared land in the Rivington Pike Scheme catchment area, being the name of the plans for the building of the chain of reservoirs to supply Liverpool with clean water.

The flooding of the valley for the reservoirs was at first met with significant opposition, but did boost the local economy. Plans required the demolition of some existing properties and the flooding of farmland, the original proposal was to demolish all buildings in the village, which was stopped by local opposition, Leverhulme with his political influence was instrumental in saving the village and seeing protections put in place in the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902. The building of the chain of reservoirs required a large labour force and during and after the build resulted in an unexpected influx of tourists.

In the early 20th century tourism had led to two hotels, busy public houses, Tea Rooms and many offshoot businesses including a wash house at Rivington Hall supplied by Leverhulmes father, James Lever. The tourist industry was further increased with the opening of Lever Park in 1904.

Reservoirs

Rivington was dramatically changed by the construction of the Rivington Reservoir Chain through the contentious 'Rivington Pike Scheme' orininally to supply clean drinking water to the city of Liverpool, it now primarily supplying 70,000 households in the Wigan area and can be used to supply Liverpool, Merseyside and Manchester. The original scheme flooded the valley creating what is now the 10,000 acre Rivington watershed, Nine properties in the valley were demolished before construction work began. The Scheme was undertaken by Thomas Hawksley between 1850 and 1857. The Liverpool Corporation  Act 1902 was used to purchase large areas of occupied land and to construct five reservoirs and a water treatment works at the south end of Lower Rivington with a  pipeline to storage reservoirs at Prescot. Water from two higher level reservoirs, Rake Brook and Lower Roddlesworth, was carried south in the Goit, a man-made channel connecting them to the lower reservoirs.

Leverhulme Era

In 1900 Liverpool Corporation attempted to acquire the entire area of Rivington and proposed clearing away all of the village which met huge opposition. Properties from mansions to ancient farmhouses were cleared across the catchment area. The clearances were enabled by Act of Parliament known as the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902, William Hesketh Lever  assisted locals in saving the village after he had purchased the Hall and lands from the Crompton family and it is assumed rights of the manor, he then later sold the hall and land to Liverpool Corporation by agreement and terms set out in the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902, the transfers completed between 1902 and 1905.  The Act allowed the corporation to acquire subject to compensation properties in the west of the village, including the Black-a-Moors Head public house (known locally as the 'Black Lad') and New Hall, which were demolished between 1902 and 1905. Most farms were cleared. The result was a small settlement that has remained largely unchanged since then.

The Liverpool Corporation act makes no mention of the manor but does refer to shooting rights to be retained by Leverhulme, this omission preserved the manor. Leverhulme also retained an interest over all of his former land which is recorded at the Land Registry preventing development. Leverhulme until his death in 1925 retained a residence on the hillside, shooting rights and use of Rivington Hall as a Museum of Lever Park. The Liverpool Corporation Act 1902 protects Lever Park and  at the Terraced Gardens the Act only required landowner consent for commercial use.

Little Lake District

 'The Little Lake District' became the name for the chain of reservoirs created by the Victorian era Rivington Pike Scheme and had attracted tourists, with increasing visitor numbers, this led to a change in the areas local economy from agricultural to tourism, aided by a new railway at Blackrod in 1841, close to Horwich Vale and a rapid increase in population at Horwich with the arrival of the Horwich Railway Works and railway station, within walking distance. The area attracted well known landscape artists.

The open countryside and moorland had, by the Victorian era become a public asset the working classes especially wanted to preserve access to and was the site of the Winter Hill mass trespass in 1896.

Lever Park

 Leverhulme was fond of the area that he got to know well as a boy and a place he and his wife frequently visited whilst courting, he had a keen interest in its history, he sponsored and contributed to the book titled 'A Short History of Rivington' published in 1904, in which is the map of the park.   Leverhulme also supported open access to the fields and moorland.
Leverhulme donated  of land for the creation of a public park at Rivington in a proposal to Bolton in 1901. The Hall became part of Lever Park and the Crompton family had remained resident at the hall until 1910 as part of an agreement of sale, then afterwards it was a museum until Leverhulmes death in 1925. By the early 1950s it was derelict, it was rescued and leased as a residence by the Salmon family.

The park became formally created and protected in law within the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902, enshrining in law that the corporation and its successors shall manage Lever Park, named after Leverhulme and keep open the park for the "free and uninterrupted enjoyment of the people of his native town of Bolton".

The present owner and successor to the corporation of Liverpool is United Utilities. The main area of the park is adjacent to the Lower Rivington Reservoir and behind Rivington and Blackrod High School toward Rivington Hall Barn, Rivington Pike, although a distance from the reservoirs and now owned by Chorley Council is part of Lever Park, it is mentioned as such in the Lever park Act 1969 and protected under the wider 1902 Act. Access to Lever Park very briefly stopped during the great war and was met with significant public objection. The park land was formerly farmland belonging to The Crosses, Great House Farm and Rivington Hall. Leverhulme sold the remaining areas outside the park to Liverpool Corporation in 1905 and retained an interest by a covenant on the land preventing building without his or his heirs consent, other than by farms and for operation of the water works.

Two pillars commemorating the gift of Leverhulme mark the entry to the area named Lever park and are located at the junction of Scholes Bank and Lever Park Avenue, Horwich, inscribed with the words "William Hesketh Lever 1st Viscount Leverhulme. Lever Park the gift of William Hesketh Lever 1st Viscount Leverhulme born at 6 Wood Street, Bolton, September 19, 1851 died at Hampstead, London, May 7, 1925. For the benefit of the citizens of his native town and neighbourhood by act of parliament in 1902 the ownership and care of the park were vested in the Corporation of the City of Liverpool". The park opened in 1904 and retains its tree-lined avenues and a network of footpaths. A dedication ceremony took place to dedicate the park to the people of Bolton on 10 October 1911.

The park was at its peak until Leverhulmes death in 1925, after which everything including buildings, Rivington Hall Museum contents, Leverhulmes Bungalow and contents including fine art, furniture, antiques, Rivington Hall Zoo animals and even the ducks and pigeons were sold by auction. The work on the replica castle stopped. The park was a staging post for troops in the second world war and its barns and adjacent land used to store and produce foods. The park suffered significant neglect in this period, the hall became a derelict building with broken windows, it was saved and remains an attraction after Salmon catering agreed a lease.

Today Lever Park consists of avenues of woodland with bridleways and footpaths converging on a replica castle, the routes are former roads which are in disrepair, the main access route for vehicles is Rivington Lane and has limited car parking. There are two converted barns which trade as tearooms serving food and drinks and Rivington Pike Tower is a landmark on the hill.  The valley area gives good vantage points to enjoy the lower Rivington reservoir, the hill is popular with hikers and mountain bike enthusiasts. There are boating facilities at the Anderton Center, a Go Ape operates adjacent to the Great House Barn with toilets nearby. The area is popular with a variety of user groups including ramblers, cyclists, horse riders, motorcyclists, young and old and families wishing to enjoy the countryside.

Rivington Castle
Leverhulme commenced the build of a folly, named Rivington Castle in 1911, a scale replica of Liverpool Castle at Coblowe Hillock near the Lower Rivington Reservoir, grade 2 listed since 1967 and is one of the most important features of Lever Park. The build commenced 1912 with clearance of the land and digging foundations, with the first foundation stone laid in 1913 and ended on Leverhulmes death in 1925, after which the one tonne crane, stone bogie and other equipment used for the building project including barrows and the workers shed were sold by auction and cleared from the site.

Access to the interior had been blocked by steel bars in the post war decades after World War Two, it is now open to the public. The structure has been altered a number of times by the landowner, before and after listed building status, with the demolition of a stone spiral staircase leading to the 'Great Hall' and stone steps that led to the keep, known as 'The Great Tower', a ledge remains. The castle walls were altered by rebuilding to an angular style at the north wall and near the Keep, stonework was also removed from the wall of the Prison tower as it joins the ante-chapel, the work was undertaken in 2012 as part of safety work in an effort to stop visitors climbing.

Leverhulmes Former Gardens

At the slope of Rivington Pike is an area of woodland, once a gardens serving a Bungalow demolished in 1948 once owned by Leverhulme. The site has surviving stone structures that formed part of the Italian style gardens, a number of stone summer houses, footpaths, steps, bridges, three ponds, streams and the restored Pigeon Tower. A Japanese style gardens was added in 1923, its features have since been lost, its pulhamite pond remains. Further down the hillside a section was built in 1921 as a man made ravine. From 1939 the site passed to United Utilities and is now leased to Rivington Heritage Trust who use the grounds as an open air venue.

Governance

Rivington was a township in the ecclesiastical parish of Bolton le Moors, in the Salford hundred in Lancashire. It became part of the Chorley Poor Law Union, formed in 1837, and took responsibility for the administration and funding of the Poor Law in that area. The parish had an unusual method of deciding their Mayor until the mid 19th century. The person was selected according to how quickly they got drunk on the eve of the annual event known as 'Club Day' when a day of heavy drinking commenced and villagers dressed in fancy dress, going from house to house banging on doors till the early hours of the morning to collect funds for the 'dignity of the office'. In 1866 Rivington became a civil parish. It was part of the Chorley Rural Sanitary District from 1875 to 1894, and part of Chorley Rural District from 1894 to 1974.

Since 1974 Rivington has been a civil parish of the Borough of Chorley, which comprises 47 councillors each elected for four-year terms to represent wards in the borough. Rivington is part of the Heath Charnock and Rivington ward. Chorley is part of the Lancashire County Council created in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888 and reconstituted under the Local Government Act 1972. Rivington is part of the Chorley Rural East ward. Rivington has its own parish council.

Rivington is part of the Chorley parliamentary constituency, which elected Lindsay Hoyle as Member of Parliament for the Labour party at the 2010 General Election, he became Speaker of the House of Commons after the 2019 General Election.

Geography

Rivington is situated on the moorland fringe between the high moorland of the West Pennine Moors and the fields below. The landscape is characterised by marginal pastures with isolated farmsteads, reservoirs and disused mines and quarries scattered across the hillsides. There is an extensive network of footpaths providing public access. The reservoir valleys are dominated by expanses of water and the Victorian gothic architecture of the dams and embankments surrounded by woodland.

To the east of Rivington is Rivington Pike and to the west the flatter land of the Lancashire Plain. Rivington is north of Horwich and Bolton and to the south of Anglezarke Moor and Yarrow Reservoir. To the west of the village is the wide shallow valley containing the Anglezarke, Upper and Lower Rivington reservoirs. The village is accessed from the west by a road on top of the  long Horrobin Embankment, a dam that separates the Upper and Lower Rivington reservoirs. The River Douglas has its source on Winter Hill, and flows in a southwest direction forming part of the southern boundary. The River Yarrow has its source on Anglezarke Moor and forms the northern boundary. The area of the township is , the reservoirs and filter beds occupy .

The underlying geology is Millstone Grit overlaid with coal measures. Gritstone was quarried for building stone in the area. Around Rivington are chalybeate springs and in Dean Wood is a waterfall with a descent of .

Demography

Population change

Economy

Rivington is today a thriving tourist area, popular with day trippers and for special events, particularly large gatherings such as weddings.  Its park, woodlands, replica castle, tea houses and bars along with historic buildings and structures have remained popular attractions with visitors. United Utilities through its Heritage Trust has tapped into this revenue over the last decade to fund its obligations to maintain its land and property there. The trust hosts events at the site of Leverhulmes' former gardens and sells tourist merchandise at the former Lever Park information center. Agriculture, mainly sheep farming, continues. The local schools are significant employers in the area alongside leisure and tourism. Employers include the Hall Barn, GoApe and the Anderton Centre at the Lower Reservoir providing boating and event hosting.

Transport
Rivington is to the east to the M61 motorway, which connects the M6 and Preston to the north with the M60 and the Greater Manchester conurbation to the south. The nearest access is at Junction 6. The village is accessed by minor roads from Horwich to the south and Adlington to the west. A winding road to the north passes through Anglezarke and a road over the moors to the east leads to Belmont. The nearest places with regular bus services are Horwich to the south and Adlington to the west, which are served by buses between Bolton and Chorley or Preston.

The arrival of the Manchester and Bolton Railway's extension to Preston and opening of Blackrod railway station in 1841 brought visitors to the area. The line remains open with stations at Blackrod and Horwich Parkway giving access to Bolton, Manchester, Chorley and Preston.

Education

Rivington Grammar School's charter was granted to Bishop James Pilkington by Queen Elizabeth I in 1566. for the creation of 'The Free School of Queen Elizabeth in Rovington', the school opened in 1575 and was rebuilt in 1714, at the time it was a male only school. Blackrod Grammar School, founded in 1568, merged with it in 1875. In 1882 Rivington & Blackrod Grammar School opened on a site at the south of the township, close to the boundary with Horwich. The school is now Rivington and Blackrod High School, a specialist technology college, focusing on design and technology, mathematics and science. Year Seven pupils occupy the former Horwich County Secondary School.

The old grammar school building in the village centre is now occupied by Rivington Foundation Primary School.

Religion

Rivington was a chapelry in the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Bolton le Moors until it became a parish in its own right. Rivington Church was founded in 1566, along with the school. It remains an active Anglican place of worship holding service each Sunday.

The Church is built on the site of an earlier chapel that was named in a deed by Margaret Pilkington and her son Robert in 1476. The chapelry covered Rivington and the surrounding areas of Anglezarke, Hemshaws and Foulds and was recognised in the Royal patent founding Rivington School in 1566. In 1628 a chapel was built "upon a little toft and quillet of land" by the local population and divine service was celebrated "for many years of antiquity".

The early-16th-century chapel was rebuilt in 1666 and altered and restored in 1861. The church is a small plain building built in sandstone with a bell turret. It is an Anglican church and unusual in that it is not dedicated to a saint or martyr, but referred to as Rivington Church.

Rivington Unitarian Chapel is an active place of worship holding regular services on the first and third Sunday of each month in addition to baptisms, weddings and blessings. The Chapel was built with a bellcote of local stone in 1703. Founded as a Presbyterian church and became Unitarian in the late 18th century. The chapel, which retains its box pews, was restored in 1990.

Notable Campaigns
Rivington Moor was the site of a mass trespass of 12,000 people who descended on the area toward Winter Hill in 1896 after the Smithills Hall land owner blocked off the route from Halliwell to Winter Hill and onto Rivington Moor using a locked gate and stationed his men as guards to stop access, the gate was smashed down by the demonstrators. The event was a forerunner of the Kinder Scout mass trespass and an early battleground of the right to roam,  Winter Hill was the biggest rights-of-way battle in British history. Over time people were able to use the disputed route without hindrance. The demonstration is commemorated by a memorial stone on Coal Pit Lane, below Smithills Moor. Leverhulme was also concerned that access to the fields and moorland of Rivington was becoming more restricted.

Lever Park came under threat after water supplies and land forming the catchment area had been moved out of public ownership and were transferred to private corporations in the Water privatisation in England and Wales, this was followed by a significant increase in use of gates and fences with stiles on footpaths and bridleways appearing from 1989, in response at Rivington 3000 local campaigners demonstrated and took a pledge to protect the area from then on after attending a meeting of opponents to the bill, organised as a rally at Rivington, led by the Ramblers Association in association with the Open Spaces Society and attended by Ann Taylor MP; mountaineer Chris Bonington; Ramblers' chairman Chris Hall; the leader of Lancashire County Council, Louise Ellman, and Kinder Scout trespass veteran Benny Rothman,

Lever Park was again under threat in a further attempt by the water company supported by Horwich Town Council who attempted to remove statutory protection through a parliamentary act in 1997, they were met with considerable local opposition and the act of parliament was blocked by a cross party group of six regional Conservative and Labour MPs Terry Lewis, Tom Sackville, Peter Thurnham, Andrew Bennett and Gerald Kaufman and was opposed by the local MP, Den Dover.

Rights of Way

Lever Park is protected under statutory powers within the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902 ensuring "free and uninterrupted enjoyment". The area is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders with footpaths, bridleways and roads providing access to the park, hillside and surrounding moorland. Rivington moor, Winter Hill, Rivington Pike, Brown Hill and the former Japanese and Kitchen Gardens within the Bungalow Grounds are part of an extensive area of open access land recorded at Lancashire County Council and has a right to roam protected by the statutory powers in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.

There is a public footpath and a bridleway from Lever Park to Rivington Pike and Terraced Gardens. The public footpath number 82 runs through the gardens from the Ravine via the former Japanese and Kitchen Gardens, which is also an area of open access land with a right to roam.

There are a network of roads that provide access to Rivington recorded on the National Street Gazetteer. Access to Lever Park by vehicle is via Rivington Lane, (USRN 7401372) many former roads in Lever park are gated and are now bridleways along with a network of public footpaths. Toward Rivington Pike the old coach road is Belmont Road (USRN 7400767) and is an open public road from Horwich, the road becomes rougher and less maintained the further up the hill it climbs in the direction of the Pigeon Tower, where it splits. The descending road there leads to Lower House car park but the roads surface is washed away and not maintained, the route leading to Rivington Rd and the moorland is gated.

Covid

The public was prevented from access to Lever Park, in conflict with the rights afforded by law enshrined in the Liverpool Corporation Act of "free and uninterrupted enjoyment" and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act during Easter by the landowners agent, Rivington Heritage Trust alongside Police for first time in its history in 2020 and 2021 during the Covid pandemic. In June 2020 Police stepped up patrols on rumours of a gathering, also in May 2021 Police, United Utilities / Rivington Heritage Trust and North West 4x4 Response went patrolling with a view to arrests for offences of "gathering and proceeding to a gathering under the Criminal Justice and Public order act". In June 2021 Police officers are reported to have 'swooped' on Rivington to prevent a rumoured gathering.

Sport
The Rivington Pike Fell Race has been held on Easter Saturday since 1892. The fell race originally started from the Horwich railway works, but since 1930 from the park entrance at Lever Park Avenue. It attracts around 400 runners. The course is  long and has a  ascent.

The area around Rivington and Anglezarke was the location for the 2002 Commonwealth Games mountain biking competition. The area is well used by hikers and hillwalkers. The Holcombe Hunt meets each year at Rivington Hall Barn.

Groups of four wheel drive vehicle owners use of a section of Belmont Road for Off-roading, the road is an open public road and is also used by walkers toward the Pigeon Tower from Lower House. The off roaders activity has been very controversial due to damage to the road surfaces and adjacent land over many years.

Culture
Phoebe Hesketh, lived at Fisher House in the village where she wrote several volumes of poetry and two partly autobiographical books Rivington: the story of a village  and Rivington: village of the mountain ash. She also wrote a biography, My Aunt Edith about Edith Rigby the suffragette.

The artist Alfred East stayed at Roynton Cottage in summer 1909. Lever commissioned a series of paintings of the surrounding landscape, the reservoirs, country park, village and the pike. Lever gave 15 of them to Bolton Art Gallery and others to Bolton School, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Lady Lever Art Gallery at Port Sunlight. East gave two water colours, A glimpse of Rivington Water and In Rivington Park to Kettering Museum and Art Gallery in 1913. The gallery acquired an oil painting in the 1960s 'titled 'From Rivington Pike, the work was an exhibit of the Royal Academy in 1913.

The Bolton Museum and Masonic Lodge, Ridgmont House, Horwich hold a painting titled "Rivington Lakes" dated 1872 and with a variation titled Rivington Valley'' (1857) held at Walker Art Gallery, by Frederick William Hulme.

Temple University President Neil Theobald will likely be fired this week, in connection to a $22 million over-allocation of student merit scholarships for the 2016-17 academic year.
Officials say that former Temple Provost Hai-Lung Dai was dismissed last month in connection to the deficit, but the board voted no-confidence in Theobald and said that he must be held accountable for the budget issue.
The shortfall is in direct connection with double-digit increases in the number of incoming freshman with above-average GPAs or SAT scores.
Temple will transition leadership for the second time in four years, and at the center of the controversy is money committed to boosting the university's student profile. But beyond that is a larger issue — a lack of communication between the president and the board about personnel and budgetary issues.
These issues produced similar acrimony at the University of Virginia in recent weeks, and are part of an emerging trend in higher education of executive fallout tied to aggressive pursuit of wealthier, smarter students against consistent decreases in enrollment nationwide, and boards having shorter patience for lapses in growth. Ultimately, it is up to presidents to maintain regularly contact with board members, and to teach them about trends and best practices, instead of allowing negative news to shape board opinion without context.

Holliman homers, holds Huntsville hitless
Arm and bat deliver the MiLB.com Double-A Performance of the Year
Tennessee's Mark Holliman was 10-11 with a 3.57 ERA -- and two home runs -- in 2007. (Tony Farlow/MLB.com)
Six days had passed since Mark Holliman's last start, and it showed in his pre-game bullpen session. Once Holliman stalked off the mound in disgust, catcher Casey McGehee muttered under his breath to Tennessee Smokies pitching coach Dennis Lewallyn, "It's gonna be a long day." McGehee couldn't have been more wrong.
Holliman snapped a four-game losing streak by tossing a seven-inning no-hitter against the Huntsville Stars on June 21, and he also hit a two-run homer in the fifth to earn MiLB.com's Double-A Single-Game Performance of the Year.
The then-23-year-old right-hander had been awful over his previous five starts -- four of which were losses -- posting a 5.96 ERA in 25 2/3 innings. Rain postponed the first game of the five-game series between the Smokies and the Stars on June 19, leading to a hot and steamy Thursday doubleheader in eastern Tennessee.
When Holliman warmed up for his start in the bullpen, his control was lacking and his stuff wasn't crisp, leading the trio of Holliman, McGehee and Lewallyn to wonder what was in store.
"He didn't say this to me after I finished throwing," Holliman said. "Casey just told me after the game that he told Dennis that it was going to be a long one since I flat out (stunk)."
Bullpen sessions aren't always the best indicators of how a pitcher will perform at game time. The lousy workout in the Smokies Park bullpen served as a wakeup call for the former Ole Miss pitcher, who was able to refocus himself and calm down once he got into the game.
The first two innings were remarkable as the burly 6-footer recorded two strikeouts and allowed only one ball out of the infield -- a lineout to left field by Michael Brantley in the first. Holliman started the third with a leadoff walk to Adam Heether, prompting little more than a shrug from the laid-back hurler.
"That didn't really bother me much," Holliman said about the base on balls. "I think I just stepped off the mound, took a couple deep breaths and went back to attacking the hitter. By that time, I got myself into a pretty good groove and I could tell that I was really focused, so (the walk) didn't seem to matter that much."
Following that lapse, Holliman made short work of the next three batters, retiring each of them to get out of the inning. Then he retired three more in the fourth, and another three in the fifth. The game was just over an hour long and the Smokies had themselves a no-hitter going in the sixth. Holliman and opposing starter Corey Thurman had been cutting through their opposing lineups so fast that Holliman was lucky he even noticed what was happening.
"This was definitely the fastest game we had all year," the Chicago Cubs' 2005 third-round pick recalled of the one-hour, 29-minute affair. "I really can't remember any game I've been in as a pro where it went by that fast.
"It probably worked to my advantage that it was so fast because so many things can happen while you're sitting in the dugout during the other half-innings," he added. "Your body can start cooling off and getting tight, you lose some momentum, you start overthinking about what's going on and your mind loses [the no-hitter] for you before you even get back on the mound."
Holliman relied on his lively, low-90s fastball, which not only set up his breaking balls and off-speed pitches, but also helped him get 12 Stars batters to ground out. At one point, Holliman had an assist on four consecutive plays stretching from the fourth inning with one out until Heether flew out in the fifth with two out. But it was what Holliman did in the bottom of the inning that truly stood out.
Jorge Cortes was standing on second after a leadoff double and Holliman was at the plate with two strikes on him. Thurman grooved a fastball down the middle and the former Rebel took a mighty hack.
A month before, Holliman had hit a two-run homer against the Mississippi Braves during a 6-1 win, and he finished the year with a .229 average and seven RBIs. Despite being a good-hitting pitcher, Holliman was still stunned that it went over the wall in left-center field.
"To be honest with you, I thought that was a ground-rule double," Holliman said. "As soon as I hit it, I just took off and didn't bother to see where it went, since I didn't want to show up the other pitcher. Once I got near second, I saw that the outfielders were just walking away from the fence, so I slowed down, but then the ump signaled for a home run.
"On my first homer, everyone basically just stayed in the dugout and didn't make a big deal," he added. "This time, there was a whole mob waiting for me outside of the dugout."
Still, there were six outs to go and the entire ballpark knew exactly what was going on.
"There was a pretty good crowd on hand at the beginning of the game," Holliman said, "but more and more people came since there still was the second game coming up. And you could tell people were getting more and more into every pitch and every out. The crowd got louder and louder after each out."
The crowd must have been frenzied when Holliman struck out Steven Sollmann for the second out in the seventh. At home, family members listened to the broadcast on the internet. Once Brendan Katin grounded out to third baseman Matt Craig for the final out, the Smokies jubilantly stormed out of the dugout, surrounding the Memphis area native and tried -- unsuccessfully -- to lift him onto their shoulders.
"Without a doubt, this was the greatest moment in my career," Holliman said. "I never threw a no-hitter before, and I was lucky enough that my wife, Jessica, was in the stands to see it. When the guys ran out to the mound, I was speechless."
Maybe it would be a good idea for all of Holliman's future catchers to whisper about poor bullpen sessions more often.

Quaker Valley's Jack Kazalas (left) scores on a double-leg takedown against Chartiers Valley's Brady Joling during the 121-pound finals of the Allegheny County wrestling championships Saturday at Fox Chapel High
The final night of section wrestling is upon us with plenty of matches to determine section championships or at least a share of the section crown heading into the team district playoffs.
In Class 2A, Burgettstown in Section 1, Frazier in Section 2, Highlands in Section 5 and Burrell in Section 6 have all clinched at least a share of the section title.
Central Valley, Freedom and Hopewell have clinched a three-way tie for the Section 4 championship.
So that leaves Section 3, where a head-to-head match Wednesday will determine the section winner or a possible three way tie for first.
Defending WPIAL 2A champion Quaker Valley (5-0) has a one-match lead over both Carlynton and Montour heading into Wednesday when the Quaker visits the Cougars. Also on Wednesday, Montour visits South Park (1-4).
If Carlynton and Montour win, there will be a three-way tie for first place.
The top three teams from each section qualify for the WPIAL team playoffs next week.
3A mat logjams
While there is only one head-to-head match set for Wednesday in Class 2A with section title ramifications, that is not the case in 3A.
Plum has won Section 1, but the other five sections will be determined by matches between the top two teams.
In Section 2, Butler (4-0) has a one-match lead over both Pine-Richland (3-1) and North Allegheny (3-1). The Golden Tornado visits the Rams while NA travels to Mars (0-4).
In Section 3, Norwin (4-0) has a one-match lead over both Penn-Trafford (3-1) and Franklin Regional (3-1). The Knights host the Warriors while FR visits Thomas Jefferson (2-2) in a match that could determine third place and a postseason berth.
In Section 4, Connellsville (3-0) has a one-match lead over Hempfield (2-1) and Latrobe (2-1). The Falcons visit the Spartans while the Wildcats host Gateway.
In Section 5, defending champion Waynesburg Central (4-0) has a one-match lead over both Trinity (3-1) and West Allegheny (3-1). The Raiders host Trinity while WA is home to South Fayette (2-2) in a match that could determine third place and a playoff spot.
In Section 6, Canon-McMillan (4-0) and Peters Township (4-0) are tied for first place. The Big Macs visit the Indians on Wednesday.
Girls section hoops key contest
The California (7-8) and Carmichaels (5-11) girls basketball teams have some breathing room in the battle for a playoff berth.
The Trojans are in third place with a 4-3 section record while the Mighty Mikes are a half-game back at 3-3.
The two meet Wednesday in a battle for third place in Section 4-2A.
While the winner of the California at Carmichaels game moves closer to clinching a postseason spot, even the loser is still in good shape with two and a half weeks left.
Both teams are three game up in the loss column on fifth place teams Frazier (2-6, 5-9) and Bentworth (2-6, 4-12).

Texas Republicans Overwhelmingly Approve Article V into State's Party Platform - May 24, 2016
In addition to commemorating the 651,031 Americans who lost their lives in wars, Memorial Day and other soon-to-be-celebrated patriotic commemorations — such as Flag Day and Independence Day — should inspire elected officials to act as soon as possible to hold an Article V convention to restore essential political safeguards that helped to make this nation great in the past.
Mismanagement and waste in government agencies, exemplified by the disastrous conditions at hospitals run by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), show the need for serious reforms at the national level, changes that can't be made through normal legislative processes.
The airmen, Marines, and soldiers who lost their lives in our nation's armed conflicts would be ashamed of the current state of politics in America. Our national government faces an annual budget deficit of $511 billion and a national debt of $19.2 trillion. Although the Republican-controlled Congress has been working on a balanced budget amendment, a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress is necessary to approve a constitutional amendment, and the lack of Democrat co-sponsorship makes it all but impossible to achieve the needed reform.
This should not be a partisan issue. Americans of all political stripes are acknowledging their disgust with the current political gridlock. According to a poll released on May 19 by CBS News and The New York Times, 77 percent of people say they disapprove of the job performance of Congress.
The Department of Veterans Affairs alone has a budget of $163 billion for the 2016 fiscal year, a 10 percent increase over the 2015 fiscal year. However, only 31 percent of the $71.4 billion categorized as discretionary spending is going towards veterans' care and only $4.9 billion for mental health care of Afghanistan and Iraqi war veterans. The 2016 budget shows the VA is not setting sensible priorities for our surviving veterans, many of whom will need years of care for the wounds they have suffered on the battlefield. A balanced budget amendment would force agencies to spend more wisely. In the VA's case, the priority should be on veterans' care, not financing a vast and grossly inept army of overpaid government bureaucrats.
The Obama administration's Department of Veterans Affairs has already established a sad legacy of abusing the taxpayers' trust and operating a culture of mismanagement. The U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services hearings in 2014 revealed VA officials had covered up long wait times to make their records look better. The problem was widespread in cities such as Phoenix, Arizona, where veterans waited up to a year for a doctor and where 40 veterans died while waiting for lifesaving care.
Congress allocated $700 million for fiscal year 2016 to remedy the problem, but no amount of spending can fix the problem if government agencies are not forced to obey fiscal constraints that require them to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. That is why forcing government agencies such as the VA to live within their fiscal limits ensures better government services.
State governments across the nation that are fed up with mismanagement of the national government are now moving forward to call for an Article V convention in an effort to create a balanced budget amendment requirement. Article V of the U.S. Constitution provides two ways for proposal of amendments: initiation by Congress or by the states. Thus far in American history, the states have never managed to propose an amendment, but that may be about to change.
At present, 28 states have enacted applications calling for a balanced budget amendment, and seven states have enacted applications calling for additional amendments to rein in the national government. One state, Alaska, has already enacted an application to give states the authority to override unconstitutional laws and regulations from the national government. State legislators are doing the job the Congress is not doing.
Six more states are needed to require Congress to call a convention. State legislators in Arizona, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, South Carolina, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming can ensure veterans and all citizens have a national government that is fiscally sound. The Article V process is a part of our constitution and creates no danger of radical change. It is designed to enable moderate changes to our Constitution to prevent disastrous policies from undermining the legitimacy and public acceptance of the national government. We're dangerously close to such a situation, and we need moderate change now to avert a government implosion in the near future.
The amendments the Article V movement is proposing are our best hope to preserve the liberties and constitutional order for which our veterans have devoted — and, in many cases, sacrificed — their lives.

Fast Food, Consumer Goods Firms Fall Short on Recycling -- Study
Few food retail and consumer goods companies have strong packaging recycling or sustainability practices, according to a new report by two environmental advocacy groups.
The study by the New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Oakland-based As You Sow reviews the packaging practices of 47 fast food, beverage and consumer/grocery companies.
For example, plastic packaging is the fastest growing form of packaging in U.S., in a large part because of the popularity of fast food and consumer beverages, but only 14 percent of the material is recycled. That contributes to an overall waste of $11.4 billion in potential recycling revenue annually, according to "Waste and Opportunity 2015: Environmental Progress and Challenges in Food, Beverage and Consumer Goods Packaging."
None of the 47 companies achieved the report's highest status of "Best Practices," according to a news release.
The report states that more brand leadership is needed to boost lagging U.S. recycling rates and enhance the sustainability of packaging.
Among fast food/quick service restaurants (QSR) only the small food chain Pret A Manger offers front-of-house recycling and composting at all its 60 U.S. locations. Starbucks is the only other firm that has aggressively sought that recycling option for its packaging.
The report gave positive reviews to several consumer goods companies for taking proactive steps on recycling. Those include Walmart, Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever.
"We found that most leading U.S. fast food, beverage and packaged goods are coming up significantly short of where they should be when it comes to the environmental aspects of packaging," said Conrad MacKerron, senior vice president and report author. "These companies have not sufficiently prioritized packaging source reduction, recyclability, compostability, recycled content and recycling policies. Increased attention to these key attributes of packaging sustainability would result in more efficient utilization of postconsumer packaging, higher U.S. recycling rates, reduced ocean plastic pollution and new green recycling jobs."

I am now completely off the Bupropion and am only taking CBD twice daily. So far, the results are excellent. I feel as good, if not better taking only CBD. I still have about three different brands I am experimenting with and they all seem to work about the same. There will be a few new reviews coming of some of the new stuff I have been trying.
There is one strange thing, though. I feel more clear headed and sharp than I did before. This is a real improvement from the Bupropion. Now everybody's body chemistry and needs are different, so I am not recommending you get off your anti-depressants for CBD. You've got to consult with your doctor and do what's right for you. But for me, this is working and I like being on a natural remedy instead of a pharmacological one.


Among the numerous dilemmas Hollywood is notorious for, its issue of having not diverse casts is one that has been under much public scrutiny. In the early stages of its establishment, Hollywood would hire Caucasian actors to play people of color, frequently seen wearing blackface and yellowface to compensate for their part.
Take the 1961 American comedy film Breakfast at Tiffany's, for example, when Mickey Rooney played a Japanese landlord, or when Caucasian actor Alec Guinness played the Arabian Prince Faisal in the 1962 epic historical drama Lawrence of Arabia.
While this practice was socially accepted 50 years ago, it has faced serious public backlash in in recent years.
Many films produced by Hollywood today no longer use such offensive means of portrayal, but this problem of racial diversity from the 20th century is still as prevalent as it was before.
Recently, The Great Wall, set to be released in February, has also demonstrated similar implicit racial themes. In this movie, two European mercenaries explore Song China, and help the Chinese defend their country. While Matt Damon does not portray an Asian man in this film, he is one of two Caucasian males in an otherwise entirely Asian cast. And it is no minor coincidence that the two Caucasians play the lead roles, while most of the supporting cast identifies as Asian.
Here at Garfield, diversity issues are also prevailing. In the drama department, most of the cast members have been Caucasian in previous years.
This year, drama director Stewart Hawk strove to increase diversity on stage, using In the Heights as a way to encourage more people of color to audition. In the Heights is set in Washington Heights, a neighborhood plagued by gentrification. It revolves around a series of Latino characters that struggle to maintain the cultural identity of their native backgrounds, while they themselves are in the process of exploring American culture.
"It's a wonderful story. It resonates with a lot of people here in the school, maybe from a personal standpoint or a historical standpoint of their own families and how they came to this country," Hawk said.
The storyline follows a series of Latino characters, so appropriate casting was more essential compared to previous years. In addition to the posters that were hung around the school, the officers of the drama department spoke to clubs such as Black Student Union, Razas Unidas, and Multiracial Student Union, to encourage people of color to audition. Morgan Gwilym-Tso, who plays Usnavi in the musical, was one of the people involved in outreach.
"We made sure to be very clear; we do have a problem within Garfield's theatre program of being almost completely white, and we explained that our goal was to show Garfield onstage," said Gwilym-Tso.
As with many musicals, whitewashing was a challenge the drama department sought to overcome.
story and to portray how [In The Heights Playwright] Lin-Manuel Miranda wanted the story to be told, it is necessary for us to have people of color, and specifically Latinos, playing the roles." Gwilym-Tso added.
Another cast member, senior Lila Danielsen-Wong, explains why the root problem goes beyond people's appearances.
"It's straight up whitewashing and you can't have your little blonde girl singing about the barrio," Danielsen-Wong said.
Despite these obstacles, the Garfield drama department has already made notable progress in diversifying its casting choices.
"It's necessary to have POC on stage for this musical. For other musicals, there were a couple of characters [that were of color]. For this, the entire stage has to look a certain way to tell the story," Gwilym-Tso said.

Q: How to create a file with unique id using nodejs? I want to create file into specified directory with unique id's, Any idea what is implemented wrong in below code.
Two things here ..
1- Its not generating files into specific directory records , how can i create file into specific directory ?
2- Using node uuid , How can i create unique id's for each file that is being generated ?
logs.js
var uuid = require('node-uuid');
var fs = require('fs');
var path = './app/records'
var filename = 'server' + uuid.v4() + '.txt'
var userLogs = function (data) {
    fs.writeFile(path,filename,data,function () {
        console.log(filename);
    });
    console.log('userLogs', data);
};
module.exports = userLogs;

output filenames have same id's
userLogs [ 'Test Log  messages' ]
server7695c20a-5ddf-4d67-a437-3d0b9d354ed1.txt
userLogs [ 'Test Log  messages' ]
server7695c20a-5ddf-4d67-a437-3d0b9d354ed1.txt
info: Test Log  messages
from console Test Log  messages
userLogs [ 'Test Log  messages', 'Test Log  messages' ]
server7695c20a-5ddf-4d67-a437-3d0b9d354ed1.txt

A: var path = '/absolute/path/to/records'
var userLogs = function (data) {
var filename = 'server' + uuid.v4() + '.txt';
    fs.writeFile(path,filename,data,function () {
        console.log(filename);
    });
    console.log('userLogs', data);
};

Declare filename as a local variable inside the userLogs function. This way, each time it is called, the uuid function is called again.

Bath Rugby claimed their second win on the bounce with a hard-fought 17-15 victory over Northampton Saints at the Rec.
Neither side were able to take advantage of any openings in the closing 10 minutes first half, with the score deadlocked at 7-7 going into the interval.
The visitors continued to mount attack after attack, and 30 seconds before the final whistle, Saints found their way back in the game. Alex Mitchell darted through the Bath defence and found Tom Collins, with the winger crossing in the corner to leave Biggar with the difficult conversion from the touchline. The Bath support held their breath as the Welsh international stepped up, and fortunately his kick hit the post, which gave the Blue, Black and White their second victory on the trot.

The harder you work for something, the greater you feel when you achieve it!
Welcome to our school. Our aim at Higham is to ensure children make excellent progress, have belief in their own abilities, and feel safe, secure and happy while they are here. We are a friendly and approachable school, and want you and your child to have an enjoyable and successful time with us.


I've just posted a new series here that I'm going to do in a very free form style. I plan to just write and write and then go back and edit later, so I'm hoping to keep it as just something cohesive with enough detail to tell the story so I can go back and fill in all the gaps later.
To accomplish this with more long-term success, I'm really looking for someone to help me by giving me feedback on it as I work on it. What do you feel in regards to this character or that character? How does the story strike you? Do you feel gripped? Do the characters make you care?
If you would like to help me tremendously by giving it a look, I'd love to hear anything you have to say about it, and if you do like it, I always encourage that you share the love. I'll always do the same in return!
A young Princess in her Father's new territory meets a seamstress's daughter and naturally, things get interesting.
Also, I don't know if it is too much to ask, but I'd love for someone to draw any of the characters in this story, just one time per character, so that I could have a reference to give others. Anyone interested in this should message me so that I can discuss compensation with them. I am willing to pay, but I will likely be unable to for some time. Still, I would love to make plans or discuss other means of making the deal work for the both of us.
This site thrives because of all of you!
You seem to have put a lot of thought into this novel especially with the talk of wars, city creation, and a long-standing battle between what Vera knows and what she doesn't know. I like how each of the characters has an individual voice and sometimes what they do is a little surprising. Your pacing was good, and each scene fluidly moved into the next with ease.
Now on the opposite side, there was more exposition than there was description. The information about the war and the city's creation and such were told to us rather than shown to us. Sometimes, it is easier to reveal things through character interaction rather than providing a stimuli then shooting into exposition.
"Oh," Ana flushed from the sudden focus of attention and tried to act as if it didn't bother her. She failed, but attempted to deflect the concern, "Not really. Just everything, you know." She smiled weakly, coughing to change the subject, "Is it a strange sort of hot here, to you?" She looked around, hoping to avoid further eye contact.
Indeed, the city was built into a giant crater said to have been there for millennia. Legend said that a war between gods had taken to the mortal realm, and a stone thrown by one had missed and struck the earth with such ferocity that the landscape was changed indelibly. Who won the fight, who threw the stone, and what resulted from the event is all variable depending on which regional church you attend.
While the part about Ana being hot is okay, it immediately goes into exposition explaining about the creation of the city along with a legend. It's like a break in the story and takes the reader, or at least me, out of the story for a moment and into a different headspace. Then when it's over, I'm pulled back into the story and the details are hard to keep up with in the way they were presented.
Also, sometimes it's okay not to say things directly and just describe them.
Suddenly, Vera's heart panged with sympathy. Even though her clothes were dirty and she had also gotten wet, she was far better off than this poor thing. She moved quickly to help her up, motioning for Ana to help her with the task. Sniffling, the girl wiped her eyes of tears and quietly thanked them for their help. The small crowd that had gathered to ensure that everything was okay had dispersed.
Show that Vera was feeling sympathy. Maybe her heart ached, she was frowning and looked troubled. She was noticing how sad and downtrodden the girl looked and was wracking her brain to find out what to do. The emotion is what makes it believable and would make Vera an even more developed character to see how she reacts internally and externally to these stressors.
That's all that I could point out for right now, but I do want to go back and tell you what I loved about this.
I loved the way that Ana responded to Vera's interest in Angel.
There is a tension there, I cannot figure what it is right now, but I think there are some things that were left unsaid.
Nonetheless, keep up the good work and I hope to see more soon.
I definitely see what you mean as far as the exposition and not really showing Vera's sympathy, it seems that is something that I have an issue with and I guarantee you'll find it plaguing my writing from here back to 2007.
But, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the story overall. I will definitely keep these notes close to heart and I look forward to going back and making it that much better!
As for things being left unsaid, "Oh YEA!" Tons of things left unsaid as of right now. I'm not trying to hold it back to make the reader ask questions (though that is obviously a great side bonus for me), but just so that the characters can develop properly without those factors. To be honest, I haven't put that much thought into this story, though it seems like it because I really love throwing in things from the top of my head.
I really get into that headspace where the world creates itself, and I meditate on what I'm going to write a little bit before I write, but don't plan it. The ideas that I had while I was writing this last night? Half of them were tweaked or changed as I was writing the rest. Originally, I was going to have the Princess going out alone, to a city in her own kingdom. The rest was an idea to add more depth on the fly. I'm happy with how it is starting, but I know there is a metric ton of butts worth of work left to do on it before it ever becomes the polished piece I can see unfolding.
Let me know if there is something I can do to compensate the time for you to do so <3 I'll do the same for a piece of yours or something?
The way that you write reminds me a lot of myself and from there, I can tell that you're going to go far. Just write it all out and keep doing what you're doing and let your readers take care of telling you what's up here and there. As long as you enjoy it and are happy with what you're writing, you can never go wrong.
On that note, you don't need to compensate me at all. I am happy to do this because I want to interact and have more connections with other writers. And if I were in your shoes, I'd love it if you were doing this for me. So with that being said, I don't mind doing more things like this in the future. I already subscribed so I'll get notifications when you update and I'll be there to cheer you on.


Victim Services each year works with over 40 volunteers who provide over 6000 hours of service. We offer a variety of ways for interested volunteers to help out ranging from volunteer advocates answering our crisis line to volunteers who help with prevention and community education efforts.
Our volunteer advocates go through a 40 hour training after which they are Certified Advocates in the state of Minnesota. After completing training, our volunteers answer our 24/7 crisis line offering a caring voice to provide emotional support, referrals, and information for victims of sexual assault and other crimes. Additionally, volunteer advocates assist victim/survivors at the hospital during a sexual assault exam as well as law enforcement interviews.
Crisis line shifts are nightly from 5 PM to 8 AM as well as weekend and holiday days from 8 AM to 5 PM. Crisis line advocates are able to take the crisis line cell phone home with them and volunteer from their house.
Our Volunteer Advocate Trainings are held twice a year. The first training usually starts in August, and the second training starts in January. This 10 session training is required for Crisis Line Volunteers and strongly encouraged for other volunteers as well. During a training, sessions are usually once a week, but sometimes offered twice a week.
