The Butcher's Daughter
Victoria Glendinnig
The following is an exclusive excerpt from The Butcher's Daughter, by Victoria Glendinning. In this well-researched historical novel, a woman goes from dishonored farmgirl to powerful nun in a prosperous abbey, and gets involved in palace intrigue against the backdrop of the reformation.
'Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.'
'In what ways, my child?'
'I have been impure.'
'You have been impure.'
My eyes were closed. I did not want to look at Father Pomfret. I heard him shifting his rump in the chair. I pulled my veil across my face even though the light was dim in this corner of the Abbey Church. I knelt facing him and wished there were something, a desk or a prie-dieu, between us.
'Impure—in thought, word or deed?'
'In thought.'
'And what are your thoughts, my child?' His hot hoarse voice.
'I think about a young man I used to know at home.'
'And what exactly do you think?'
'I cannot explain, Father.'
How could I tell this priest, who was too interested, that I permitted myself no carnal thoughts about Peter Mompesson, but that I saw him in my mind's eye and imagined in the night when I could not sleep that we were running to meet one another with gladness and open arms. Just that, over and over and over, and the gladness made me weep. I thought about the child too. Sadness like a stone.
'You are aware that to obtain absolution, you must make a full confession.'
'Maybe I am mistaken, Father, and there is nothing to confess. It is but a scruple.'
To change the subject, I confessed that I had taken bread from the kitchen to give to the little boys, and that I entertained uncharitable thoughts about the Novice Mistress and one of my sisters, whom I did not name, but it was Eleanor Wilmer. Father Pomfret gave me absolution and a penance of multiple Hail Marys, disproportionate to the sins I confessed. I knelt in the chancel and said the Hail Marys, feeling angry with myself and with him. And afraid of God.
I will set down what happened to us after that calamitous Passion Sunday in Shaftesbury. The same horrors happened in all the abbeys and convents and priories and monasteries, all over England, and everything is recorded in formal words and in high places. But no one has understood what it felt like to be us, the ones cast adrift, or how we felt ashamed, even though we had no reason to be ashamed. My own shame, and the reason why I was a novice in Shaftesbury Abbey, came about earlier, when I was fifteen.
My own shame, and the reason why I was a novice in Shaftesbury Abbey, came about earlier, when I was fifteen.
I wanted to be with him. I cannot pretend I did not. I had noticed him before. He had been in the town all that particular market day, up and down the High Street, poking at pigs and cattle with his stick, hanging about at the new market cross just down the road from our shop in the shambles. He was lounging around on the stone blocks and bits of carving which were waiting for the masons to top it out. The market cross was a gift to the town from Abbot Eley, for market-people to shelter from the weather. It was nearly finished. The base with steps was there, and the six arches, but no canopy. The steps, and the loose cut-stones lying around, were handy for sitting on.
Dark curly hair sprouting under his cap. Skinny legs. A cocky way of looking around him. I was serving customers with cuts of meat all day and was bloodied all over.
It was dusk before he came and stood in front of our shop.
My father had put up the shutters and gone inside. I had cleaned myself. It was June, the light fading slowly. I listened to Bruton emptying out, men and boys hollering as they drove beasts out of the town, carts rumbling away up the hills.
'Agnes Peppin, will you walk with me?' he said.
We went down by the river. On the other side, St Mary's Church loomed huge and dark. The lantern on the gatehouse of the Abbey was already lit. The bell for Compline had rung two hours ago.
The grass along the river bank was trampled and fouled by beasts coming down to drink during the day. When we came to a clean patch under the plum trees he put his arms round me and pushed me down on the ground. I have said I wanted to be with him, but truly I did not want what happened. He was quite rough.
Afterwards he was soft with me, and we whispered together in the dusk. He asked me to be his sweetheart and go only with him and I said yes. It felt natural to say yes. It was what I wanted, then.
Then he had to leave me. There was no moon and he might miss the path back to Brewham once the night came down. He ran off back towards the bridge. I rolled over and buried my face in the long grass. It was cool and smelled good. I didn't want to move. Which was just as well, because I heard voices, and people approaching. It was Abbot Eley and one of the canons, I could not tell who, taking an evening walk. They were deep in conversation and did not see me huddled under the trees.
'My dear, this has been going on since I was a young man, since the great Cardinal's time. There is nothing new. There was agitation about what they called a reformation of the Church back in King Stephen's day. Nowadays it is a faction, got up by heretics from Europe. And by our King's lust and avarice, though I would never say that in public, and neither for Christ's sake and ours must you.'
'So there is nothing to worry about?'
'There is always something to worry about. They tell me now that Stavordale Priory is to be placed under authority.'
'Stavordale—half a dozen sickly canons who do nothing.'
'Correct. But Stavordale is only a short hour's ride away. We are under scrutiny. It may become as dangerous to be prosperous as to be failing. His anointed Majesty has designs on what we have. However, I am perfectly confident that we will come through.'
When I could no longer hear their voices I sat up. I knew more or less what they were talking about, though I did not know who the great Cardinal was. It had been announced in St Mary's that King Henry, and not the Pope in Rome, was head of the Church in England. What difference did that make to ordinary people like my family? None.
If the Abbey had something to worry about, so now did I. The weight of worry is the same whatever the issue. I was sore and sticky between my legs, and wiped myself on dock-leaves.

'Self-care isn't selfish': How Wear Your Label plans to help eradicate mental health stigma
Launched to counter that reality, Wear Your Label produces tees, tanks and sweaters emblazoned with positive and honest messaging, such as: 'Self-care isn't selfish,' 'Sad but rad' and 'It's okay to not be okay'
Stephen MacGillivray for National Post
Elisa Birnbaum
It's not every day that people wear their hearts on their sleeve; or their chest. Vulnerabilities are usually hidden from sight and judgement. But one company is trying to change that.
A clothing line with the goal of creating conversations around mental health and eradicating its associated stigma, Wear Your Label was founded more than a year ago by young entrepreneurs Kayley Reed, 21, and Kyle MacNevin, 23. Struggling with mental health issues themselves — Reed is recovering from anorexia nervosa and MacNevin lives with generalized anxiety — the pair were frustrated with the stigma clouding their recovery.
"The biggest challenge is that mental health is invisible," MacNevin said. If someone has a cast on their foot, it's clear they have a broken appendage and that it's healing. But there's no plaster mou ld for mood disorders, schizophrenia or anxiety. That invisibility promotes stigmatization and leads to erroneous assumptions with damaging consequences, he added.
Launched to counter that reality, Wear Your Label produces tees, tanks and sweaters emblazoned with positive and honest messaging, such as: "Self-care isn't selfish," "Sad but rad" and "It's okay to not be okay."
"We're trying to make mental illness obvious so that it's not just tolerated but accepted and understood," MacNevin said. But it goes beyond raising awareness. With the belief that clothing has the capacity to make the wearer feel something — whether confident, content or, more often, overweight, vulnerable and insecure — each piece is designed with internally focused self-care in mind. "Our clothing makes you feel like a superhero, world leader and rock star all wrapped into one."

Even the care labels receive creative attention: "40% Stretch, Breathe, Meditate. 30% Sip Tea & Eat Well. 15% Feel Your Feet, Be Present. 10% Laugh Out Loud. 5% Listen To An Awesome Song." And the duo — who design and screen print the messaging from their office in downtown Fredericton, N.B. — deliver the clothing in a care package that includes mental health information and a handwritten note thanking the purchaser for their courage.
The models who showcase the clothing on the company website have a personal connection to mental illness, too. "We don't cast models, we cast role models," MacNevin said. And their photos aren't retouched, an all-too-common reality in the fashion industry. As the website proudly claims, "We believe in perfect imperfection, raw emotion, and brand transparency. We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk."
That walk guarantees 10 per cent of corporate profits are donated to mental health research organizations and a focus on partnerships with NGOs and charities around the world. Take the leggings they produce with the words, "Your story isn't over" written down one leg. The leggings were part of a team effort with the Semicolon Project, an international organization that raises awareness for self-harm, depression and suicide.
Considering the immense response to the new venture — more than 700 orders in the past month or so and hundreds of applications from wannabe role models looking to share their story and help others do the same — it seems Wear Your Label's founders have tapped into a deep-seated need for brave conversation and leadership.
"Kyle is embodying his own struggles with mental illness and putting a positive psychology piece to it, saying 'my mental illness is part of me but it doesn't define me,' " said Dr. Joan Wright, MacNevin's therapist who he also calls a confidant and emotional mentor. "If we can say 'what's the opportunity in this,' the sky is the limit," Wright said. "He's an inspiration to others."
That inspiration started early. Soon after coming up with the idea, the founders were accepted into the Summer Institute at the University of New Brunswick's Technology Management and Entrepreneurship program — an intensive three-month program that provides participants with funding for living costs and prototyping, as well as skills training and coaching. Noting that similar programs often focus on engineering and technology to the detriment of the arts, Dr. Dhirendra Shukla says his program takes the opposite route.
"We embrace everything that is art, culture and design," he said, believing them vital components of business success. "We're not looking for get-rich-quick schemes. We're looking for people trying to make the world genuinely and authentically a better place."
If they were simply printing slogans on T-shirts, that wouldn't have impact but the duo had deeper meaning, it was personal, Shukla said. "We saw that spark and passion and wanted to rally around them."
Others did, too. At first they bootstrapped their social enterprise to avoid giving up equity, but eventually took a loan from Futurpreneur and engaged in other creative revenue generating activities, such as designing clothes for Sweet 16s, to cover monthly cash flows and overhead expenses and allowing them to invest in design and inventory. Speaking engagements helped, as did sharing office space with design mentor Philip Leblanc.
It was the duo's enthusiasm and go-getter attitude that most impressed Leblanc, a professional artist who met MacNevin and Reed while working as a designer-in-residence at the Summer Institute. "I saw them during their highs and lows," he recalled. "They're able to re-set and come at it swinging every morning." Helping them find suppliers and meet their design needs, Leblanc continues to work closely with the entrepreneurs.
Leblanc said one of the company's biggest strengths is MacNevin's capacity to absorb every piece of advice he receives and put it immediately into action. That came in handy during the first five months of their business when they put sales on hold to ensure their concepts were on the right track. "We're so glad that we waited, looking back at our [first] designs, they were awful," MacNevin said.
And the asset will hopefully serve them well in the face of challenges Leblanc foresees: remaining a unique force in their space and expanding into the "cut-and-sew" market, a decision the passionate entrepreneurs are determined to pursue.
"There's a lot of training involved and a lot of trial and error," he cautioned. "They need to make sure that they continue with their message and keep it simplified." What's more, he said, while the current target audience is content with online purchasing, once the price point rises beyond a certain level, the desire for tactility will make retail outlets crucial.
It seems mentor and mentees are on the same page. "One of our goals is to get our clothing in stores," said MacNevin, noting that 25 U.S. retailers have already shown interest. But they're taking those steps slowly and thoughtfully, determined to work only with retailers who offer a welcoming, positive experience for shoppers.
Expansion plans were expected to be put in motion last month with a Kickstarter campaign but got postponed after an influx of orders re-prioritized the team's efforts. "The reason we started Wear Your Label is for people, not for us to grow into this mega enterprise, although that would be awesome," said MacNevin of their decision to put off raising funds in favour of meeting customer demand.
Expansion into the U.S. and Britain are on next year's agenda and the team is searching for champions to endorse their brand. They're also anticipating expanding their collection from casual items to clothing people can wear to work and on dates. "People who have vulnerabilities often have them during the most significant milestones of their lives," MacNevin said. "The options are endless, maybe one day we'll design a wedding gown."

Anne Cochran, chair of Woccu speaks at the opening ceremony of the World Credit Union Conference 2016 in Belfast on Sunday 17 July.
The World Credit Union Conference is underway in Belfast, bringing together representatives from 55 different countries. The opening ceremony featured introductions from credit union leaders, including Daniel Burns, first vice chair of the World Council of Credit Unions (Woccu).
"We all share the co-operative DNA, that's what brings us together," he said, welcoming delegates to Northern Ireland.
Anne Cochran, chair of Woccu talked about some of the challenges faced by credit unions, such as technological advancements. "Together there are no obstacles we can't overcome," she said. She gave the example of British credit unions working with credit unions in Georgia – a mutual learning partnership that will benefit their members. "We exist for one purpose: to financially empower and enrich the needs of our members around the globe," said Ms Cochran.
Máirtín Ó Muilleoir
Minister of finance Máirtín Ó Muilleoir was one of the special guests at the opening ceremony. He spoke of two aspects in particular which mark out the credit union movement as different: ambition and solidarity. "When a person joins a credit union, they are making a pledge that they want to do better," he said. Mr Ó Muilleoir added that Irish credit unions inspire people and bring them together, helping to move the social landscape forward from the 'peace process to the prosperity process'.
Brian McCrory, chair of the Irish League of Credit Unions, described the organisation as "unique".

The league includes credit unions from two jurisdictions: the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. He explained how when the credit union movement started in Ireland 60 years ago, the economy was characterised by a lack of money. "Today in a world of globalisation and quantitative easing, what is lacking is trust," he said. "Our greatest asset is the trust that our members hold and enjoy in credit unions. In Belfast, marked by division, we know the value of trust."
Our diversity is our strength, we are a global movement that is an answer to globalisation
Mr McCrory explained how in "dark days" credit unions gave small loans that kept families together. Irish Credit Union League members have total assets of €14bn, average loans of €8,000 and three million individual members.
"Credit unions do not have all the answers for the roots of injustice and inequality, but we are part of the solution. Credit unions stand for trust, not as a slogan that is marketed but an ethos," he said.
"Our diversity is our strength, we are a global movement that is an answer to globalisation. Every credit union in every part of the world is an essential part of their community. We are community activists and community leaders. The lesson of the credit union movement is solidarity that makes us stronger and reconciliation, that brings us closer."

Marian Harkin, independent MEP for Ireland joined Mark Durkan, deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, in a debate on regulation and credit unions. She said that through their common bond credit unions help make a difference in their communities. "I can see that credit unions glue those communities together," she said. She talked about the danger of placing an added burden on credit unions through excessive regulation.
"Politicians are now worried about moneylenders, but it was regulation that stopped credit unions lending money to those people in previous years," she said.

Mr Durkan encouraged more "positive" and "constructive" conversations between credit unions and regulators to ensure that they are taken into account when regulations are designed. "Let the regulator know you're very good at self-regulating, that should be supported, not undermined by regulators," he told delegates. "We need to remember that, yes, regulation is important but what you do as credit unions is not just transactional, it's transformational."
Delegates also watched a video message sent by the Duchess of Cornwall, a passionate advocate of credit unions. She highlighted that credit unions served people, not profit and provided affordable loans to those who did not fit into the conventional banking system. "Nearly two million people do not have access to a bank account," the Duchess said. "I believe that credit unions can help to change all of this."

Оскар Нідермаєр, з 21 лютого 1919 року — Ріттер фон Нідермаєр (; 8 листопада 1885, Фрайзінг, Німецька імперія — 25 вересня 1948, Владимир, РРФСР) — німецький військовий діяч, генерал-майор вермахту. Кавалер лицарського хреста Військового ордена Максиміліана Йозефа.

Біографія
Син архітектора. Походив з купецько-чиновницької родини. У 1905 році вступив в 10-й полк польової артилерії в Ерлангені. Після отримання офіцерського звання йому дозволили отримати освіту, одночасно продовживши службу в армії. У 1910 році закінчив артилерійське училище. Вивчав природознавство, географію та іранські мови. У 1912-14 роках здійснив дослідницьку поїздку по Персії та Індії, також відвідав Єгипет, Аравію і Палестину. Був першим європейцем, який відвідав пустелю Деште-Лут.

У серпні 1914 року  відправився в складі 10-го артполку на Західний фронт, але вже в жовтні 1914 року його відкликали до Берліна і відрядили до Туреччини для виконання секретної місії на Сході. У грудні 1914 року призначений головою німецько-турецької експедиції в Афганістан, метою якої було підняття проти англійського колоніального панування підвладних Великій Британії пуштунів та індійців. Військова експедиція була організована з ініціативи військового міністра Туреччини Енвер-паші німецьким і турецьким генштабами. Аж до травня 1916 року Нідермаєр знаходився в Кабулі, лише зрідка і ненадовго виїжджаючи за його межі. Він багато разів вів переговори з еміром Хабібулла-ханом і представниками афганських урядових кіл. Нідермаєр від імені імператора пообіцяв еміру, в разі його вступу у війну на боці Німеччини, надати йому допомогу в створенні так званого Великого Афганістану, тобто приєднати до нього англійський і перський Белуджистан. У березні 1918 року повернувся до Німеччини. Учасник боїв на Західному фронті, в Шампані і Фландрії.

Після закінчення війни вивчав філологію і географію в Мюнхенському університеті. З квітня 1919 року служив у фрайкорі Еппа, який бився проти Баварської радянської республіки. У грудні 1919 року вступив на службу в рейхсвер. У 1922-32 роках керував спецгрупою рейхсверу «Р», що займалася німецько-радянським таємним військовим співробітництвом, працював в СРСР. У 1933 році вступив в НСДАП. У тому ж році захистив докторську дисертацію. У 1935 році вступив в вермахт як стройового службовця.

З жовтня 1939 року — офіцер ОКВ. Після початку Німецько-радянської війни неодноразово подавав прохання про переведення на фронт. З 13 травня 1943 по 21 травня 1944 року — командир 162-ї піхотної дивізії. Разом зі своїм підрозділом в 1943-44 роках брав участь в антипартизанських акціях на Балканах, потім служив в Італії. З травня 1944 року — військовий радник у Франції. У серпні 1944 року необережно висловився про східну політику Адольфа Гітлера, що призвело до звинувачення в пораженстві і арешту в тюрмі Торгау. У квітні 1945 року звільнений американськими військами.

Після капітуляції Німеччини переїхав в Регенсбург, однак незабаром був арештований радянськими військами в Карлсбаді і переведений в московську в'язницю. За рішенням Особливої наради при МДБ СРСР від 10 липня 1948 року засуджений до 25 років ув'язнення. Помер від туберкульозу.

11 school shootings 23 days into 2018
Wikimedia Commons/User: Alyeska
People are outraged at the lack of coverage, and are pushing for gun control.

11 school shootings have happened 23 days into 2018 - Video
On January 23rd, the news was flooded with word of a school shooting in Kentucky. With 2 students killed and 18 injured, this is the first the mainstream news has heard of a school shooting even though 10 others have already happened this year. Some people agree that the shootings happen so frequently in America, that people are numb to it. Others think that the flooding of news stations about the government shutdown has distracted the masses from things that matter a bit more -- the lives and safety of our children in schools. Either way, the majority of people are appalled and outraged at the fact that School Shootings are becoming so frequent.
The second school shooting in two days and yet it barely registers with our political leaders in Washington. We as a nation must demand action on common-sense gun safety reform. https://t.co/bpuOywaHlJ

Sensible gun laws
Kentucky's school shooting was by far the deadliest this year. And even though the involvement of guns in any school environment is a cause for concern, not all the shootings involved students getting hurt, or even took place inside the school. Either way, many people are calling for Gun Control.
There has been a school shooting every other day in 2018.
Hey GOP, if you really want to make America safer, forget your Wall. And forget your unconstitutional Travel Ban.
Actually focus on the real problem. And pass SENSIBLE GUN LAWS!

All school shootings this month:
January 3 - East Olive Elementary School, Michigan
A 31-year-old man committed suicide in the parking lot of the elementary school.
The school was closed for break at this time, so no students or faculty were injured.
January 4 - New Start High School, Washington
Around 1:30 pm, a shot was fired through an office window at the school. The bullet was found lodged in a three-ringed binder. No one was injured, but no one could identify the shooter.
January 6 - Forest City School District, Iowa
The window of a school bus was shot out on Friday afternoon.
No one was injured, and it was revealed that the bullet was a stray from an isolated incident.
January 9 - Coronado Elementary School, Arizona
A 14 year-old committed suicide in his school's bathroom with a handgun. The police arrived on the scene expecting an active shooter as reported, but instead found the boy dead in the bathroom.
January 10 - California State University, San Bernardino, California
Shots were fired on the campus and a bullet went through the school's Visual Arts building.
Classes were cancelled that night, and faculty and students in the building were housed there until 9:30pm.
January 10 - Grayson College, Texas
A student at Grayson College mistook a training weapon for a real one after an advisor left the box unlocked. He fired the weapon and it went through the wall of the classroom. Luckily, no students were in the hallway at the time. The bullet was not found, but no one was harmed.
January 15 - Wiley College, Texas
Two people in a dark sedan pulled up in the parking lot of the dorm at Wiley and exchanged fire with another party in the lot. A stray bullet flew into a dorm room housing 3 students, but fortunately no one was harmed.
January 20 - Wake Forest University, North Carolina
Najee Ali Baker was shot around 1:00 a.m on his campus. The police believe that the incident was an isolated one, and the shooter was not found. Baker passed away at the hospital.
January 22 - The Net Charter School, Louisiana
A student was taken to the hospital after shots were fired at the school. It wasn't made clear if the injury was from the chaos or the gunshots. Someone from a dark-colored pickup truck fired the shots, and police are still looking for the suspect.
January 22 - Italy High School, Texas
A 16-year-old student opened fire in his school cafeteria with a semi-automatic handgun. There were around 45-55 students in the cafeteria, but only one student was wounded.
January 23 - Marshall County High School, Kentucky
2 students were killed and 18 students were injured at Marshall County High School. A 15-year-old will be charged with the murder of Preston Cope and Bailey Hope. Cope passed away in the hospital, while Hope passed away at the scene. She was reportedly on the phone with her mother as she passed.
What will it take?
11 instances in the first 23 days of January where children in the United States were either at risk, wounded, or lost their lives to the irresponsible handling of firearms. What is the government going to do to protect the future of this country? As of now, they don't seem to have a plan. After all, it took President Trump a whole day to address the incident on Twitter. Even the Prime Minister of Canada offered his condolences in a timely manner:
I've spoken with Kentucky's @GovMattBevin to offer condolences on behalf of Canadians for today's shooting in Benton. Our hearts go out to Kentuckians, and to all those affected by this tragedy.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) January 23, 2018
It is speculated that Trump only responded to the event after receiving backlash for tweeting about other affairs the entire day before.
Trump tweeting tonight about text messages between FBI agents, but NOTHING about the mass shooting of teenagers today in Kentucky.
We see your priorities Donald.
— Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) January 24, 2018
Trump has found time to tweet about the "missing texts" — but not the Kentucky shooting https://t.co/J37G1LOoFh pic.twitter.com/FWSEy6MFTc

Abandoned Railroads, Buildings, Cars & Locomotives
By Abandoned On June 15, 2018
Railroad / Indiana
A gallery of abandoned railroads, depots, supporting buildings, cars and locomotives in the United States.
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad (B&O SW) Spring Grove Industrial Track
The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad (B&O SW) Spring Grove Industrial Track was located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The single-track branch split from the B&O SW mainline at Colrain Avenue and proceeded south and east of Spring Grove Avenue, eventually ending at Monmouth Street. It once served the manufacturing center of the Crosley Radio Corporation.
Office of Coast Survey Historical Map Chart Project, City of Cincinnati, Sheet 35
The Gary, Indiana Union Station was built in 1910 and served the Baltimore & Ohio and New York Central railroads.
Locomotives and cars were once stored at the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Colonie Yard near Albany, New York, but were moved to a spur track in Glenmont when the yard was acquired by the Canadian Pacific. It was once stored Colonie for future restoration by a local National Railroad Historical Association group but was later abandoned.


The middle home, Iris, is named after the dazzling goddess of the rainbow who paints her gusty path with her gold-winged sandals uniting earth and sky.
Welcome to Lithiés Traditional Homes on the majestic island of Santorini. The Skarpathiotis Family has spent years designing and remodeling these homes using their passion and knowledge of Santorini.
Each home has been custom decorated by Anita Skarpathiotis, an art historian. Ideal for both couples and families, the Lithies homes are flexible. Larger parties may rent multiple homes to enjoy a piece of the island exclusively by themselves!
The term Lithiés (pronounced lee-thee-és) is a convention of the Nobel laureate poet, Odysseas Elytis. The Lithiés homes capture the spirit of the island, echoing the poetic verse "dry stone walls (the Greek word "lithiés") and sea waves hand in hand" from Elytis' The Axion Esti.
The houses are spacious grottos tunneled into the sheer multi coloured cliffs of the caldera, their facade slightly protruding from the edge of the cave. They appear to grow naturally out of the rocky landscape, which is set against a sweeping expanse of sea and sky. The homes are secluded, accessible via a stepped walkway, yet are well integrated into the town of Firostefani. Bordering the edge of a blue-tiled pool is a generous terrace that links all three homes and offers sweeping views of the caldera and the volcano.
Nestled in scenic Firostefani, the Lithiés homes reside 1400 feet above sea level under the gaze of the marvelous Aegean sun. Firostefani is one of the finest examples of Mediterranean vernacular, embracing a spectacular natural landscape. Firostefani is home to Skaros Castle built on Skaros rock, visible to the right of the settlement.
A ten minute walk from the main town of Fira and a 15 minute drive from the airport, Firostefani offers guests an elegant setting that is also convenient.


Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Ga'Hoole is the most beautiful animated movie ever. This movie combines an astonishing musical score and some of the best animation I've ever seen to mold a masterpiece of a movie.
This movie starts out in the sky following an owl flying through the clouds. I could see every feather on the owl. The scene continues with the owl flying through the clouds. Every time the owl flapped its wings it parted some clouds near it.
This movie's animation has me invested the whole time. It then transitions to a sprawling forest.
The first couple of moments alone show the amount of time put into every scene. This scene was huge in scale, but it had a feeling of intimacy to it.
Then the shot zooms on a mouse as it gets snatched by an owl. This really showed the skill and the attention to detail that the animators have.
The movie proceeds to show me one of the most stunning backgrounds I have ever seen. The owl flies into the sky, and I could see everything.
Another great scene is the storm scene. This happens later in the movie, but it's worth the wait.
Soren and his group of friends go flying with Ezylryb in a typhoon to train their flying skills. The animation in this scene was gorgeous.
Seeing the owl's feathers soaked in rain water was breathtaking. The glint of the lightning on their feathers amazing.
The best part was when Soren flew into the typhoon itself. I could literally count every rain drop in the scene.
Then the lightning in the background just added a whole new depth to the scene. The return stroke lit up the scene with a vibrant blue. Every rain drop flashed along with the lightning.
The thing that brought this scene was the operatic score. Oscar Nominee, David Hirschfelder, composed the score for the movie, and his work is phenomenal. The untitled score in this scene made me feel like I was there.
The combination of animation and music made this one of the best scenes in the whole movie, but the best scene was the Burning Forest scene.
This was in the third act of the movie, and it was amazing. Seeing Soren fly though the burning forest was astounding. The fire was absolutely breath taking.
Then the oil pot he was carrying caught on fire. The vibrant blues and red of the fire blasts through the scene, and it always catches my attention.
Soren proceeded to soar high into the sky and the shot pans out to show this beautiful shot of Soren in front of the moon. Everything in this shot was in focus, but it didn't draw away from Soren's magnitude.
The music was brilliant, and the vocals in the background were amazing. It really showed the intensity of the moment.
Though the thing that made this scene perfect was the sound design. I could hear everything in this scene. The sound of the trees burning and falling was a treat and it really brought the scene together.
All in all, this was the most beautifully animated movie ever.

Let your staff contribute to charity with time and energy as opposed to simply donating money.
Charity Game lets your staff contribute with time and energy as opposed to simply donating money.
The game is played as a team competition. Using a tablet, teams of five compete in finding up to 30 printed codes that are hidden across a venue or at the office. Whenever a team finds a code, they are challenged with trivia. If they get it right, they get points, and the team with the most points at the end wins. But there is more!
The goal is for everyone to reach a joint company score. Depending on what level they reach, that score is converted into money or other charitable donations.
The total score can be displayed live on leader boards for everyone to see, which encourages people to help each other instead of just competing.
The game is run for 30-60 minutes at a location of your choice, and can be played at multiple sites simultaneously.
We can tailor the activity by embedding your corporate-specific theme. It can be intangible things like your strategy, values, diversity or a more practical connection to your business. This is a great way to add business value while making the experience even more engaging.
The players are divided into teams of up of 3-5 people and the aim is to collect as many points as possible. The game is all digital so progress can be tracked on a live leaderboard.
Standard game £35 pp, minimum cost £750. Custom game £55 pp, minimum cost £2000.
Yes, the game can be run anywhere.
This activity is fun for everyone as the missions come with great variation.
EDI Challenge is an immersive and interactive real-life escape game themed to train your team in Equality Diversity and Inclusion. Locked in a room with your colleagues, participants have 60 minutes to solve challenging puzzles to escape the room.


In what can only be labeled as an expected turn of events, Kaskade has officially confirmed the development for a new, non-SoundCloud related platform by which to share his music. Given recent career developments, this is not shocking news, as the iconic DJ/producer also confirmed in the same interview that he is also in the midst of compiling a new album.
What may be the most intriguing take on his recent interview with THUMP is that Kaskade also states that he's been developing a new platform "for years," which raises a few key questions. Foremost, if the top names in EDM were already aware of the potential pitfalls of SoundCloud "years" ago, what has slowed the development of these new, artist-specific downloading portals? Was there a belief that SoundCloud could possibly bridge the gap between artist, label, fan and copyright? And as well, what does this portend for the literal peer-to-peer musical sharing economy that has buoyed the rise of EDM over the past five years? If a gulf exists between top dance artists and SoundCloud, then what becomes of SoundCloud? With mainstream labels gaining sway over the service, a platform serving mainstream and fledgling independents could leave Soundcloud as a showcase of what the gulf between the 1% and 99% of modern music appears to possibly evolving into.

According to the most popular myth, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and Koronida, daughter of the King of Thesallia Fleyia. Koronida fell in love with Ishi and so Apollo ordered her
death from his sister Artemis. Apollo saved the infant Koronida was carrying, he took it to Pylio and entrusted its upbringing to either Centaur Hirona or the healer God Magniton Hirona. Here the child was taught medicine but when Zeus found out he had resurrected the dead and so went against the law of nature, he ordered his death by striking him with lightening. And so he died as a human before becoming a God and was connected to worshipping heroes. He had many children with his wife Ipioni, Podalerio, Mahaona and Telesforo who all became great doctors. He also had Igeia, Egli (the sparkling) Iaso and Akeso (who cured) and Panacea (who cured everything). Asclepius was considered the protector of medicine and health. Worship of him started in Trikki (Trikala) and spread in the 5th and 4th century BC all over GreKos - Asclepiusece. However in Kos in the 3rd and 2nd century BC he was considered one of the most worshiped public personas of the time. His clinics, the Asclepians, were usually established in open areas with woods and fresh water, which greatly helped in curing patients. The most famous clinic was situated in Epidaurus while the first to be opened was in his birthplace Trikki. The Asclepio in Kos seems to have been opened in the 4th century BC. At these places of worship, patients were medically examined in detail by the priests and then were given cleansing and sacrifices were made. According to the traditional religious therapy, a God appears in the patients dream and during his sleep the God would cure him of his worries and illnesses. In return the patient had to sacrifice a rooster. Symbols of the God were the snake which represented periodical renewal, which heals by touch, the walking cane and a cup full of medicine, the dog which symbolizes chthonic divinity and the navel which connects Asclepius to his father Apollo.

Committee on Standards: Cox Report
Part of NHS Long-Term Plan – in the House of Commons at 9:24 pm on 7th January 2019.
Andrea Leadsom Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons 9:24 pm, 7th January 2019
approves the Fifth Report of the Committee on Standards, Implications of the Dame Laura Cox report for the House's standards system: Initial proposals, HC 1726, and agrees the following changes to Standing Orders and to the Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members as approved by the House on 17 March 2015:
Standing Order No. 149 (Committee on Standards)
(i) in paragraph (5), line 3, leave out from "witnesses,"
to end and add "may move motions and amendments to motions or draft reports, and may vote.".
(ii) leave out paragraph (5A).
Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members
Chapter 4: Procedure for inquiries
(i) Leave out paragraph 6(b) and insert –
"b) be in writing or by email, and provide the complainant's name and full postal address;
(ii) Leave out paragraph 11.
The motion stands in my name and that of Kate Green. I welcome the opportunity to take part in this important debate on behalf of the Government. The motion, if agreed by the House, serves to strengthen the independence of the Committee on Standards and modernise its practices. I will touch more on the content of the motion, and I am sure that the hon. Lady, the Chair of the Committee, will also provide the House with a detailed account of the proposed changes.
It is important that we put these changes in their wider context. Now, more than ever, we must not lose sight of our drive to improve the culture of our Parliament. How has this motion come about? In November 2017, shocking stories of harassment and bullying in Westminster came to light. I have been clear, as has the Prime Minister, that there is absolutely no place for this unacceptable behaviour in Parliament, or anywhere else for that matter. We should be setting an example for others to follow, and my ambition is that our Parliament become a role model for other Parliaments around the world.
In response to the allegations, the Prime Minister convened party leaders and set up a cross-party working group to develop an independent complaints and grievance procedure for Parliament. A programme team, overseen by a cross-party steering group made up of Members of both Houses and staff representatives, then worked on the implementation of the new policy, known as the ICGS, which was agreed by the House and launched in July last year. Throughout our work, there was a clear recognition from the cross-party group that establishing the ICGS was the beginning, not the end, of a bigger movement to challenge and change the culture in Parliament. As part of this, we agreed that there must be a review of the scheme at six and 18 months, as it beds in. This gives us the chance to improve as we go and to constantly ask ourselves what more we can do.
I am currently working with colleagues in the House to establish the first of these reviews and that work will begin later this month. The purpose of each review will be, first, to scrutinise how the new complaints procedure is working in practice; secondly, to address outstanding areas, such as how to incorporate into the scheme visitors to constituency offices and how to manage third-party reporting; and thirdly, to incorporate the findings of the Cox report, following the recommendations of the House of Commons Commission and the other independent inquiries set up as part of the ICGS.

Less than one in three small business owners have taken steps to address estate planning, despite the issue overtaking cash flow as a primary concern, as one adviser spots an advice opportunity.
HLB Mann Judd's SME Research report 2017/18 found that only 54 per cent of business owners had wills in place, with less than one in three having taken broader estate planning steps despite the issue rising up to second place on the list of business concerns, up from fifth last year.
On the contrary, cash flow concerns have dropped from first spot in 2016/16 to fourth place this year.
Boutique accounting firm Matthews Steer, senior private client advisor, Anthony Sloan, said that while cash flow will always be front of mind for business owners, he has seen a growing concern over business legacy.
"It isn't the business' finances, competitors or how to transition worth to the next generation [that clients lose sleep over]," said Mr Sloan.
"It's how to teach the next generation about the family business, its history and values, and how to educate them to preserve and enhance the legacy that's been created.
Further, Mr Sloan said that while there was a succession planning advice gap, accountants and advisers needed to be sensitive to their clients' needs when approaching the subject.
"You've got to take time to understand the family dynamics because family business can be emotive," said Mr Sloan.
"Every family is different — whether you are planning for a family member to take over the business, or an exit to provide financial security for each individual family member, you have to tailor your strategy to achieve that," he added.
Conversely, accountants themselves are not immune to estate planning issues, with close to 80 per cent of accounting firms not having a documented succession plan in place.
"If we're not thinking about what happens next in our business then what are we doing? We're just sitting on our hands going 'we're too busy'; we're always too busy but we need to think about what's next in the future," said Practice Ignition global head of accounting and strategic partnerships, Trent McLaren.
"The average age for a practitioner was 55 in the accounting industry so there's a lot of change coming in the next couple of years but with all that change, we still haven't actually started planning for it at all.


The Blue Lion at East Witton has simplified its menu and bucked up its ideas, according to Dave Lee.
The folk at the Blue Lion still remember the last time The Yorkshire Post came to eat. My esteemed colleague Elaine Lemm had a particularly bad night here around four years ago and her write-up was something of a big fat slap in the face for a pub that thought it was doing okay. They apparently still bristle whenever anyone says The Yorkshire Post. And then I turned up.
To be fair, I didn't intend to eat and – quite honestly – I didn't even know of Elaine's review, which had slipped under my radar. I was staying in the Dales, saw this good-looking pub on a corner in the picture postcard village of East Witton and decided to stop for a pint and a gander. It was only once I was inside the main bar and saw the amazing fireplace and inviting curved wooden booth seats and the enticing chalk board menus that I suddenly became overpoweringly hungry.
And the food was great; hearty, unpretentious yet skilfully made and inventive dishes that left me grinning with satisfaction. Only after leaving did I check to see if The Yorkshire Post had been before and, on seeing that they'd clearly had something of a mare four years earlier, I thought I'd write in their defence. After all, everyone's entitled to an off night, surely?
The Blue Lion has been run for over 20 years by Paul and Helen Klein. It's a former coaching house and hunting lodge that has two bars, two formal dining rooms and actually feels more like a large guest house than a pub. The big bar, though, is a marvellous space and it's the one you're most likely to encounter.
Once you're in, I can recommend the pan fried pigeon breast with honey glazed figs. It's served with a little pile of toasted hazelnuts and blobs of parsnip puree and makes for a very tasty opener. Alternatively, I'd definitely have the salt beef and soft onion salad again. Strands of shredded salt beef intertwined with leaves and tomatoes with a perfectly poached egg sat on top. The soft little wine-poached silverskin onions hiding in the dish make for gorgeous mini treats.
The simple main of roast chicken breast with mushroom, tarragon, cherry tomato and broad bean fricassee does exactly as you'd expect by showing off the superb chicken without overpowering it. Or, if you're feeling really hungry, you could have the beef and black sheep ale suet pudding. It came with red onion gravy and mashed potato, the meat was wonderfully soft and the whole was a farmhand's-sized portion.
kitchen runs all day, every day and it seems that, in order to ensure consistency, the menu has been simplified a little. This is no bad thing. I'd rather eat a simple dish done well than an ill-delivered attempt at intricacy any day.
More simplicity and a new sensation came with pudding. The delicious steamed treacle pudding with vanilla custard needs no explanation but carries a warning that it probably shouldn't be attempted after a suet pudding. You may explode. A dish I'd never have thought that I'd gladly eat every day till I pop was the iced liquorice terrine with roast fig. Two thick triangles of extraordinarily liquorice-y sorbet-esque iced stuff with a fig resting on top. This was liquorice overload of the finest sort. It was sweet and rich and so refreshing. I loved it and I want to have its babies.
All this, I have to say, comes at a price. The pub attracts the better-heeled folk of the Dales and they clearly don't mind paying. With starters at £5.50 to £12, mains at £13.50 to £24 and puds coming in at around the £7-8 mark, you're going to be looking at the thick end of £100 for two once you've added your drinks and a side dish or two. Some may find that top heavy for simple grub but I think the service, surroundings and atmosphere mitigate greatly.
At the end of her review, Elaine said the Blue Lion was clearly a very popular place to eat and maybe they had just had a bad night. I think that's almost certainly the case. They all clearly know what they're doing and the stream of happy punters I saw come and go all looked very happy and satisfied. I hope this write-up has redressed the balance a bit and the good people at the Blue Lion finally stop using The Yorkshire Post only to line the cat tray.

Rotimi Blends Afrobeats And R&B With New Single "Love Riddim"
This month marks the arrival of Rotimi's Walk With Me album, the artist's first full-length release since parting ways with 50 Cent's G-Unit imprint. The project is host to a number of tracks that give the fans a true representation of the evolving artistry of the Power star, including lead single "Love Riddim."
With the effort, Rotimi also shares accompanying visuals for the cut, employing an elaborate new clip that features appearances from the likes of Apryl Jones, Serayah, even one Michael Blackson as the singer's likeness literally follows around a love interest while serenading her with sweet nothings of a forbidden love.
Rotimi's R&B language has changed over the years, from lust-tinged vocals on tracks like "Kitchen Table" to soca chords on "Want More." After taking some time to examine his musical journey, the multi-talented artist has returned with "Love Riddim," a cohesive blend of Afrobeats and R&B styles perfect for any dance soirée.
Rotimi's charting 2017 debut EP, Jeep Music, Vol. 1 features guest verses from 50 Cent and T.I. as well as his breakthrough single "Want More." The project cemented Rotimi as a strong vocalist and songwriter with a knack for sultry slow jams. Looking ahead to his forthcoming EP, Walk with Me, slated for a May 2019 release, Rotimi is proud of the time he's put in. "I want my fans to understand that this is something unique," he says.
While the sun-tinged lead single "Love Riddim" epitomizes a summer anthem, Walk with Me is a dynamic, genre -spanning project. "It covers all aspects of emotions," Rotimi adds. With this young artist, there's no label that could define him. A true creator at his core, Rotimi's motto encapsulates both his attitude and his art: "No limit."
