Currently a work in progress, this final book completes the telling of one way that the Northmen—the vikingr—came to settle in Éire and how one of their number, Tuirgeis, claimed the title of High King of that island.
Based in history, Tuirgeis's story will complete the story Sandi Layne began to tell when Tuirgeis captured Cowan and Agnarr captured Charis the healer in Éire's Captive Moon.
A man of ability and ambition, Tuirgeis has nurtured the desire to carve a place of leadership for himself on the Green Island, Éire, that he has raided multiple times. After the death of his wife, he takes his surviving son to Éire and comes to learn that there is more to claiming a kingship than merely overpowering the locals.
While he is attracted to an Éire-woman for his new wife, Tuirgeis seeks to find ways to not only settle in this new land but also to learn to live with the people there, not just overthrow them.
Having connections with his adopted brother, Cowan, and Agnarr, his former countryman, Tuirgeis feels he has the support he needs to make his claims strong.
Bloodthirsty tyrant? Overly ambitious leader? Prideful warrior? The histories tell one tale of Tuirgeis, acknowledged usurper and High King of Ireland; I am telling another.
"We came to spend time with Aislinn and the baby," Charis replied, moving toward Cowan until she could look him squarely in the eye. "Why are you away from the fire?" she asked in Gaeilge.
Cowan translated. Tuirgeis shook his head and rolled his shoulders as if he felt stiff from inaction. "I have spent enough time with men," he stated through Cowan. "I wished for other, softer company." A challenge was in his gaze as it clashed with Charis's and she felt as if her spine was iron.
Against her will, Charis took it upon herself to translate the tongue for Ide and Aislinn. If there was any luck in her world, she would not have to spend another evening doing so. Tuirgeis snorted to hear her, a smile in his eyes before they moved to Aislinn.
"And this is Ide. She used to live on the west coast, a bit north of where Muiredach recommended you go," Cowan said, nodding to the red-haired woman.
Married for more than twenty years to a very tolerant (and brilliant!) man, she has two sons, no pets, and a plethora of imaginary friends. Her interests range from ancient civilizations to science fiction for both reading and research. With degrees in English and Ministry, she also claims Theology's crimson Masters collar which she has been known to don on rare occasions.
If you drive by her window before dawn, it is likely she'll have a light on for you. Or at the very least, she'll be alert on twitter.
Find her on her website, Goodreads, Facebook, Tumblr, and Pinterest.
The first two books in the trilogy are already available. Click on the book covers here to be taken to Sandi's website where you can link up to purchase Éire's Captive Moon and Éire's Viking in paperback or e-book editions.


While 7298 bunkers would be constructed along the LoC in the twin districts of Poonch and Rajouri, 7162 underground bunkers would be constructed along the IB in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts.
Over 14,000 community and individual bunkers would be constructed along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) for border residents facing Pakistani shelling in Jammu division, officials said today.
While 7298 bunkers would be constructed along the LoC in the twin districts of Poonch and Rajouri, 7162 underground bunkers would be constructed along the IB in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts, the officials said.
The government recently sanctioned the construction of 14,460 individual and community bunkers at a cost of Rs 415.73 crore for people living along the LoC and IB.
Senior BJP leader and MP Jugal Kishore Sharma welcomed the move by the centre. "It is indeed a matter of joy and satisfaction for the people of border villages that the centre has sanctioned construction of bunkers and approved relief and compensation for various property and livestock losses due to cross-border firing," Mr Sharma said.
The MP expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh for acceding to the demands of people living in border villages.

All of us know that one of the things that can affect our mood like no other is music. And so, to that end, I wanted to tell you about one of my favorite albums ever, by my favorite band ever (they've had that title since I was in high school, so I promise, I'm not just exaggerating for effect), Cool Hand Luke's Of Man.
Cool Hand Luke, as a band, is "officially" over (you can still follow the frontman's updates on Facebook). Last year's Of Man is a concept album that goes through the last week of Christ's life, Holy Week, which the Church is in the process of celebrating right now. It follows the thoughts and perspectives of Jesus and those around him through that last week.
The album was intended to be their last release, and so it has all the energy passion, thoughtfulness, and intensity that such a project would bring (you can read more about the album it's production and lyrics at the album site). It's amazing. It really is. A perfect way to meditate on this time of year.
Lastly, I want to give one more reminder about my own Lent Mixtape I made for this season (featuring two Cool Hand Luke songs). Feel free to download and share it for free, and may it bless you as well.

Montgomery's Putnam credits pioneer blood, good food and loving wife on 102nd birthday
By Sondra Hernandez, Staff writer

As Bob Putnam turns 102 today, he credits three main things with his longevity — pioneer blood, good food they raised on their own and 77 years of marriage to a wonderful wife.
Putnam, who lives in the Montgomery area, was born on June 12, 1918 in Bismarck, North Dakota.
When he was six months old, his father left the family and did not have contact with Putnam until he was an adult.
He grew up during the Depression and he said his mother had a real rough time of it raising him and his brother.
He was born during the Spanish Flu pandemic, but times were so tough he thought his people were probably too focused on making a living to be concerned with the pandemic.
He had a sister, Harriet, who died when she was three. There never was an official cause of death, but now he and his daughter wonder if perhaps her death could have been related to the pandemic.
In those days, doctors were not readily available and he said the town of 700 was lucky to have a doctor at all.
Putnam give a lot of credit to his mother's family with he and his brother's raising.
He said they were strong people and he doesn't know how they would have made it through without them.
His mother taught at a country school and earned $94 a month.
"But she didn't go and cash it right away. She held onto it for three months. Things were so bad in the state that if you went and cashed it right away, they took 5 percent of it," he said.
Putnam graduated in 1936 with 38 students in his class.
He had two options for his future. The first was to follow his musical passions and attend the school of music in Chicago.
In high school, he won the state championship in baritone.
His other option was an apprenticeship with Caterpiller Tractor Company in Peoria, Ill. This was a paying job so the choice was clear.
He moved to Peoria and ended up meeting his wife, Virginia, there.
During World War II, he was informed he'd be of better use in the war effort making equipment with Caterpiller.
He said they made tanks and graders working 16-hour days three days a week for the war effort.
One morning when he couldn't stand it any longer, he joined the US Navy - much to the displeasure of his wife and company.
He was sent to radar school, a new technology at the time. He served for two years and returned to Peoria.
Growing weary of the Illinois climate, he moved his family to McAllen, Texas and continued his work in construction.
At age 50 he became a high school teacher and when he retired at 70 from teaching school, he and his wife taught in an adult literacy program in two counties through the Rotary Club of Yoakum.
They taught adults to read, sometimes getting their students jobs or help with their citizenship. They kept in touch with many of their students and Putnam received an international Rotary award for their work.
"I enjoyed that probably as much as anything in my life. I'm very proud of what we did there," he said.
Putnam continued to enjoy music his whole life by singing at weddings and was the song leader for the Rotary Club of Yoakum.
He met his wife at a dance in Peoria and they loved to dance the rest of their married life. At one point they were a part of three different dance clubs. Virginia Putnam passed away at age 101 in Yoakum in 2017.
They also had four children, Mark, Kay, Jean and Nancy.
Putnam continues to be an Honorary Member of the Rotary Club of Conroe and a member of Grace Lutheran Church.

St Teresa's Catholic Academy is a Roman Catholic Voluntary Aided Primary School providing education for 337 boys and girls aged 3-11 years.
Pupils are admitted to the Pre-school when they are three or to the Infant Foundation stage in the year in which their fifth birthday falls.
St Teresa's is different from any other school in Wokingham, because it caters first for the Roman Catholic community in the town.
The school buildings and grounds are owned by the Diocese of Portsmouth. The school has very close links with the Parish of Corpus Christi, which is on the same site.
All of our classes are named after famous authors.


On Friday – when heavy rain was forecast – the horses once again left the stables and were forced to work in miserable and dangerous conditions, which included extended periods of torrential rain with thunder and lightening.
The law clearly states that horses should not be worked in "heavy rain or other slippery conditions", but the ASPCA agent on your HLE hotline told me that they were allowed to be out in these conditions. This is not a gray area – even our inadequate law states that the horses shouldn't be out. Allowing the horses to work in these conditions is animal cruelty, and the ASPCA is responsible.
The horses stood for two hours in the cold, pounding rain with no opportunity to seek shelter. The horses did not have rain sheets or any other garment to protect them. Of course, most of the drivers took refuge in their covered carriages.
How could the ASPCA allow this egregious cruelty to animals and violation of the law?
Animal advocates around the country are waiting for the ASPCA to break its silence and publicly support Tony Avella's bill to ban horse-drawn carriages. Taking the sole step of posting (or burying…) an action alert on the ASPCA website is a slap in the face to all of the organizations and individuals who are investing tremendous resources into this fight. Most of us understand the challenges we face with Christine Quinn and Mayor Bloomberg, but a bill has been introduced, momentum has been built and a lot of time and money has been spent. The time for the ASPCA to take a public stand on this issue which could have international implications is right now – not during the next administration. Where is your leadership?


'As human beings, we all seek to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon the earth while striving for something more permanent and profound. So many seek this greater Truth in the heavens, but it lies much closer than the clouds. It is within us and can be found by anyone on the Inward Journey.' B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teachings on yoga are followed throughout the world, reflects upon his lifetime's experience (he is 89) on the yoga path. The structure of the book follows the different aspects of that path (from Freedom Awaits, through The Physical Body, The Energy Body, The Mental Body, The Intellectual Body, The Divine Body to Living in Freedom) and provides a learning framework for yoga as well as an invaluable discourse on life. It is a 'must have' for anyone who practises yoga or is interested in the teachings of the East.

Hariri ready to be PM again but with conditions: source
Prime Minister Saad Hariri walks to the podium to announce the resignation of his government Beirut, Oct. 29, 2019. (Dalati Nohra)
US Embassy official: No assistance for Lebanon without credible government
Number of roads blocked across Lebanon as protesters reject leaked lineup of new govt

Al Jadeed
Saad Hariri is ready to return as prime minister of a new government, a senior official familiar with his thinking said, on condition it includes technocrats and be capable of quickly implementing reforms needed to stave off economic collapse.
The senior official, who declined to be identified, said any new cabinet led by Hariri should be devoid of a group of top-tier politicians who were in the outgoing coalition government, without naming them.
Bassil is a political ally of the powerful Iran-backed Hezbollah, which had opposed the government's resignation and has yet to comment on the resignation of Hariri, a long-time opponent of the group.
President Michel Aoun formally asked Hariri on Wednesday to continue in a caretaker role until a new cabinet is formed, as required by Lebanon's system of government.
There is no obvious alternative to Hariri to fill the post of prime minister, which is reserved for a Sunni Muslim in Lebanon's sectarian power-sharing system.


This Saturday marks the return of Grand Meander, a daylong holiday party along Grand Avenue in St. Paul. The neighborhood will become a winter wonderland, with strolling carolers, trolley rides (or take a trip with a Vulcan via truck), and window decorations adding a festivity to the shops and businesses of the area. Things kick off in the morning with a breakfast with Santa, and other fun to be had includes soup sampling and family activities.

A summary of prostitution
There is no official definition for prostitution. The most successful is the fact of freeing the sex and body to another against money. However, it could also be against goods such as shelter, gifts, food, or in exchange of admission into a group.
It is also to merchandize in a legal or illegal way services and/or sex products and of exploiting the human body, in particular, that of women and children with a lucrative purpose. It is also a system that organizes the exploitation and appropriation of the body of women, children, and more frequently, of men.
Prostitution has multiple faces : they are victims of exploitation and networks, mothers in precarious situations, young female students, children, men….who prostitute themselves on the street, on the internet, in bars, in saunas or massage parlors, on the side of highways…The circumstances are diverse. Yet, no matter the political, economic or cultural context, they are all linked to one phenomenon : sexual exploitation. From Paris to New York, from Calcutta to Marrakech, from Kiev to Bangkok, it is the same reality and the same threats that are at play.
A Universe of Violence
Prostitution is a violent world, a world « where one must always be on guard, where one learns to live with fear, and therefore fear becomes a form of functioning » declare prostitutes. The danger is constant. Violence, under all of its forms, from insult to the worst physical aggression, can intervene at any moment and come from anybody: a pedestrian, another prostitute, a youth gang, a client, a procurer…
Canadian researchers have demonstrated that prostitutes run between 60 and 120 times more risk of being beaten or murdered than the general public They also show that prostitutes have a mortality rate 40 times higher than that of the national average.. In an Australian study (where prostitution is legal), 81% of respondents declared having been sexually abused during the practice of their activity. At Glasgow, 94% of interrogated street prostitutes had been subjected to a sexual aggression, 75% had been raped by a client.
The fear of reprisal, threats against family, the weight of reimbursing the debt, the permanent monitoring and control are all stress elements available by traffickers and procurers. From the client's side, the pressure or craftiness used in order to obtain non-protected relations, or not to pay(or to pay a lower sum than the one agreed on) is also a form of aggression towards the prostitute.
To these horrible treatments, tortures and psychological violence coming from procurers or clients, a more symbolic violence can be added: the stigmatization and contempt inflicted by society.
Nowadays, prostitution is a trans-national phenomenon. They are the flows of humans going from one country to another, or from one continent to another in order to be prostituted or buy sex.
Women, children, and men pushed by distress and the hope of a better life, leave their country of origin and fall into the hands of traffickers who exploit them in the four corners of the world. For example, at Cambodia, prostitutes come from China, Vietnam, but also Eastern Europe. Australia, considered as a renowned center of Asian prostitution, offers women originating from Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, and China. Canada receives victims coming from Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and Eastern Europe. In France, in 2011, the dismantling of about forty crime networks in Paris, Caen, Bordeaux and Strasbourg allowed to save Colombian, Chinese, Ecuadorian, Nigerian, and Romanian victims.
Due to the development of numerous technologies, the prostitution mechanisms dematerialize. From now on, soliciting happens through cell phones, social networks serve as meeting spaces for paid sex; the transport of victims throughout the world happens through the systematic use of digital exchanges.
Globalized, prostitution has become an economic market. A "blooming" market : according to estimates, the sex industry revenue will surpass 1.5 billion € ($2 billion USD) in Greece (about 0.7ù of the country's GDP), more than 2 billion € ($2.7 billion USD) in Russia and up to 18 billion € ($24.8 billion USD) in Spain...
Far from being part of a parallel economy, prostitution revenues rain down upon the whole society. Diverse environments benefit : travel agencies, bars and hotels, taxis, but also publicists, press owners, website producers, diverse media.... In 2011, in Germany, Bonn, after Frankfurt and Cologne, proposed the taxation of prostitution, the "sex tax" returns between 800,000 € and 1 million € ($1.1 million USD and $1.3 million USD) to the city of Cologne.
Prostitution, the business world, and power also maintain complex relationships, which the news in 2011 constantly reminded. Whether it was the Carlton case in Lille, where, under anarchy, involves Dominique Strauss-Kahn and one of the first French construction companies. Or, in Italy, the Silvio Berlusconi trial for child prostitution. There was also the "sex" scandal that broke out in Germany in 2011, splashing the insurance world: a very famous insurance company rewarded its best employees by offering them sex orgies.
The countries' efforts that would change this trend, encounter great difficulties. Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Argentina, in particular, fight against sexual ads published on websites or in the press. Reports have been made, bills have been considered or adopted. However, these measures face strong oppositions. In Spain, the government is reluctant to settle the dispute and in the United States, Craiglist's ads platform, closed in 2010 due to the increase in sexual offers, were moved to another website, which is now considered as the largest forum for child sex trafficking.
Trivialization
No matter where, it is always the youngest, whether children or young adults, that are the most affected from the developments in prostitution. Nowadays, the phenomenon affects countries in South East Asia, Europe and North America.
The United States discovered the alarming child prostitution raging in several of its states; Germany and the Netherlands fight against the significant development of child exploitation under the control of "loverboys"; in India, luxury prostitution has become a true high-tech business organized by young IT professionals who exploit adolescents and students; in Poland, an alarming number of adolescents prostitute themselves in big shopping centers in order to buy consumer goods....
Society trivializes this phenomenon by embellishing it with charming nicknames and a shimmering and glamorous image. One talks about sugarbabies, sugardaddies....The young Zahia, who made headlines because of her paid relations with one of the soccerplayers in the French national team, is now considered as the "Cinderella of modern times" and an icon! These forms of euphemism only serve as disguises for the reality of this phenomenon: the "loverboy" is a procurer that acts as a boyfriend to better exploit young girls; the sugarbaby is a very young girl kept by a mature man (or woman), who finances her tuition, housing, daily life... (in Poland, one prefers to designate this type of prostitution by the more entrepeneurial term of "sponsoring"!)
For adolescents, sex becomes another type of currency exchange : they "barter" sex for a designer item, drugs....Is it actually surprising? They were nourished by pornography, grew up in societies that are bombarded by images that portray women as a sexual object. In this context, commercial sex is trivialized and prostitution appears more and more as a possible resort, without consequences and almost "natural" in order to obtain a good or money.

Q: What is the meaning of "literal" in the combination "literal philology"? Here is an example from Italy: Rome and Naples (1889):

No three days pass that I do not read in the newspapers some terrific declamation against two celebrated authors of our day, one so brilliant, amiable, and lively, so French and so spiritael, that you forget to note his good sense, which is equal to his wit ; and the other, so broad and delicate, so rich in general ideas, so refined and so practical in the art of feeling and distinguishing delicate shades, so happily endowed, and so well instructed, that philosophy and erudition, the highest generalised conceptions, and the minutest literal philology are as Hebrew to him.

A: If you look up the filologia in Italian, it is used to mean:
filologia in Italian
the study of language and literature [in whatever language).
You often see, in this regard, in countries with Romance languages (such as French, Spanish, Portuguese), the use of the word philology to mean language and literature, in fact. I know this from years of seeing, for example, filologia inglesa.
For example, from Spanish:
Mireya Hernández nació en Madrid en 1981. Es licenciada en Filología Inglesa. Hizo los cursos de doctorado y obtuvo el Diploma de Estudios Avanzados en Ciencias de la Información. Es traductora, lectora editorial y profesora de español e inglés. Meteoro es su primera novela.
filologia inglesa
That means: She has a degree in English language and literature
So, in the translation cited in the question, literal "philology" is a very poor translation.
literal philology, therefore, might mean: the literal interpretation of language OR literal interpretation of language and literature. Usually, if you study language and literature, you are interested in figurative things, not so much literal ones.
I would also venture to say that when translator writes: are as Hebrew to him, this is hard to decipher in English.
In English, if we want to say someone does not know something, we say: It's Greek to him.
So, what the author is saying is not very clear.
The word literal as compared to the word figurative, in disciplines involving language and literal.
Example: He's a damned cur.
cur is literally a dog, but historically and figuratively  in English it was used to say a person behaved badly or rudely.

A: We get the word philology from two Greek roots φιλειν (to love) + λογος (word), and one meaning of the word comes from the literal application of the Greek -- a love of learning in the sense of scholarship. This meaning is now rare to the point of obsolescence, having been supplanted by the label for the historical study of language. The passage you quote serves up several contrasts between the focus of different types of mental capacity: e.g., between "broad" understanding and "shades" of meaning and between "general" ideas and "refined" ideas. The final contrast is between the study of the very general ("highest generalised conceptions") and the very detailed and specific ("minutest ... philology"). But to get the right sense, philology must stand for scholarship in general and not just historical linguistics specifically, so the author signals his choice by saying "literal philology," assuming you know the meaning taken from the literal, original Greek.

Q: Color sf points and linestring by numeric variable I've got some GPS data (latlong) and I want to plot the GPS points and their connecting lines and color both by the time difference between the two GPS points. I've figured out how to color the points and convert the points to a LINESTRING but I can't figure out how to recolor the scale of the line.
I saw this post:
Color portions of sf LINESTRING by variable that shows how to break the linestrings into segments and color the segments by a categorical variable but as I have close to 100,000 observations I'd like to avoid just splitting my plot up into 99,999 pieces and also, my data is continuous.
Here's some toy data:

# Create some data points
fake_data = data.frame(Time = 1:6,
                       Long = c(-90.46200, -90.46160, -90.46170, -90.46150, -90.46100, -90.46240),
                       Lat = c(33.88540, 33.88750, 33.88520, 33.88340, 33.88540, 33.88150))
# Define as points
points = st_as_sf(fake_data, coords = c("Long", "Lat"), crs = 4326, remove = FALSE)
# Connect the dots
lines = points %>% summarize(do_union = FALSE) %>% st_cast("LINESTRING")

library(ggplot2)
# Plot
ggplot(data = points)+
  geom_sf(aes(color = as.numeric(points$Time)))+
  geom_sf(data = lines)+#, aes(color = numeric(points$Time[1:(length(points$Time)-1)])))+ #did not work
  ylim(c(33.87, 33.89))+
  xlim(c(-90.47, -90.45))+
  scale_color_gradient(name = "Time", position="bottom" , low = "blue", high = "red")

Thank you!

A: I'm confident there are prettier ways to do this, but this works!
I needed to add in a group variable to use to generate linegroups. This was inspired by: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48979401/3642716 and their answer with how to solve for troops in the tidyverse dataset.
library(sf)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
# Create some data points
fake_data = data.frame(Time = 1:6,
                       Long = c(-90.46200, -90.46160, -90.46170, -90.46150, -90.46100, -90.46240),
                       Lat = c(33.88540, 33.88750, 33.88520, 33.88340, 33.88540, 33.88150),
                       group = 1)
# Define as points
points = st_as_sf(fake_data, coords = c("Long", "Lat"), crs = 4326, remove = FALSE)
# Connect the dots
lines <- fake_data
lines %<>% group_by(group) %>%
  slice(rep(1:n(), each = 2)) %>%
  slice(-c(1, n())) %>%
  mutate(linegroup = lapply(1:(n()/2), function(x) rep(x, 2)) %>% unlist) %>%
  ungroup %>%
  group_by(linegroup) %>%
  st_as_sf(coords = c("Long","Lat"), crs = 4326, remove = F) %>%
  summarize( do_union = F) %>%
  st_cast("LINESTRING")

# Plot
ggplot(data = points)+
  geom_sf(aes(color = `Time`))+
  geom_sf(data = lines, aes(color = `linegroup`))+#, aes(color = numeric(points$Time[1:(length(points$Time)-1)])))+ #did not work
  ylim(c(33.881, 33.888))+

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. ROBERTSON
Re: Six-Month Time Limit in Supreme Court
Article 30(2) of the Victoria Charter
The verbatim transcript discloses (pp. 433-34) that the procedure outlined in 30(2) was devised at Victoria to deal with the unlikely situation where a province might attempt to undermine the viability of the Supreme Court by refusing to name a chairman. In the draft first proposed there was no time limit but at Mr. Bennett's request the time limit of six months was added. Mr. Regan commented that this was too short a period of time. He stated, in part:
"Suppose the Minister of Justice is a busy man and the Attorney General of the Province is a busy man, they might take two or three months before they could find time to get together."
The Prime Minister then suggested that the time limit be six months beyond the time when the Attorney General of Canada first wrote to the Attorney General of the Province stating that he proposed to convene a nominating council.
Generally, it would appear that the six-month time limit was agreed to because the Conference thought it unlikely that the situation which the section was designed to meet would ever arise.

Agate and Howard families
Home > Projects > Rectory Lane Cemetery > Cemetery Research > Biographies
Grave Number 800
There are three generations buried here, and interestingly include the two only children of William and Martha Howard, both of whom married Francis Agate.
Mabel Millicent, Francis George Agate's first wife died on the 8th July 1907 in childbirth, when she was living at Severn-villa, Waldeck Avenue, Bedford. Her effects were valued at £70.9s.4d
Their daughter, also Mable Millicent, died only 6 months later, on 23rd January 1908, aged 6 months, of bronchitis. (See Watford Observer 1st February 1908)
The father, Francis George Agate, died on 7th December 1944 at Amersham aged 64 years. He had been born in Islington and had himself lost his father at a young age, his mother Sarah being described as a widow in 1881 when he was only 4. He and Mabel had married in 1902 at Berkhamsted.
In the 1911 census he was described as a widower and a 'Second Class Officer of Customs and Excise' and was then living in Stanley Avenue, Chesham with his mother and cousin, but very shortly afterwards he had re-married, this time to Lilian Harriet Mary Howard, who was, in fact, Mabel's elder sister. Both had been born in Berkhamsted and were children of William and Martha Howard. Lilian was described as a pupil teacher aged 15 in 1891. So Lilian married Francis and lost her father in the same year. She died 10th December 1970 aged 95 years.
William George Howard died October 19th 1911 aged 64 years. He was born in Berkhamsted and was Manager of the Water Works in the town. (The Great Berkhamsted Waterworks Company was set up in 1864 (on the present site of W.H Smith and Boots, adjacent to the White Hart which itself stood next to the Town Hall).
mber of lovely wreaths laid on the grave.'
Death of Mr. W.G Howard – The death occurred on Thursday, the 19th inst of Mr. William George Howard, who for the past forty years had been manager for the Great Berkhamsted Waterworks. For a year or two he had suffered from a very painful complaint, which would not yield to operation and treatment by specialists. To M. Howard in his illness, and now to his relatives in their bereavement, very general sympathy has been extended. The loss to the Waterworks Company will be a severe one, as his service was particularly disinterested and faithful. The funeral took place on Monday at the Baptist Church, preceding the interment at the cemetery. The church was draped with black cloth and white flowers, and there was a large attendance. In addition to Mrs Howard (widow), Mrs Agate (daughter), Mr Agate, and other family mourners. Messrs G. Chilton, R. Gregory, J. North, P.H. De Fraine (directors of the Waterworks Company), M. Ballam (secretary), C.A.W. Codgbrook (manager of the Gas Company) and most of the deacons and fellow trustees of the deceased at the church, and many others attended as mourners. The service was conducted by the Rev. J.E Barton, who spoke in terms of the regard in which Mr. Howard was felt, and of the loss caused by his passing away. 'O rest in the Lord' was played on the organ by Mr J. Hurst before the service, and the "Dead March" at its conclusion. There were a large number of lovely wreaths laid on the grave.' Bucks Herald 28th October 1911
His wife Martha died June 14th 1936 aged 87 years, and was then living at "Burnbrae" Stanley Avenue. She had been born at Two Waters.
In 1881 they had their two daughters living with them, Lillian (aged 5) and Mabel (aged 4) both of whom later married Francis Agate (Mabel first, Lillian second), which is why they are all buried in the same plot.
The Waterworks c.1920 is the building in the centre with the tall round-arched central entrance and balustraded pediment. The Managers accommodation was presumably on the first floor.

DOH to investigate workers' complaints vs WV Sanitarium
These photos posted by Mia Arguelles, a former operating room nurse at the Western Visayas Sanitarium General Hospital in Sta. Barbara, Iloilo, on social media exposed complaints of mismanagement against the hospital. The hospital's top management denied the allegations.
By John Noel E. Herrera
The Department of Health (DOH) will investigate the complaints of delayed salaries and benefits of health workers at the Western Visayas Sanitarium General Hospital (WVSGH), according to Iloilo 2nd district Rep. Mike Gorriceta.
Gorriceta said DOH Undersecretary Camilo Pancratius Cascolan will send a team to investigate the complaints of some employees against the WVSGH management in Santa Barbara, Iloilo, and will demand a change of leadership in the facility if the problem will not be resolved.
"Kabay pa nga this January, ma-resolve lang sa gilayon. Ako ya ang concern ko gid ang serbisyo bala sa mga pasyente, nga accessible na tani," the congressman said.
As the author of the law (Republic Act 11723) which upgraded the then Western Visayas Sanitarium into a general hospital, Gorriceta urged DOH-6 regional director Adriano P. Suba-an to look into WVSGH's services, the management of employees, and regulations.
He said he has been receiving complaints as early as the second quarter of 2022.
"These issues were seen to have not been resolved even after more than six months of lobbying for their resolution, and up until now, I have received contentious complaints from my constituents, not only regarding the delay of employee salaries and benefits but also regarding the insufficient services and procedures of the said hospital," part of Gorriceta's letter to Suba-an read.
"If these concerns continue without intervention, the health care delivery system and the hospital's services would be greatly compromised, most specifically for the people who are relying on its services. If these persist, we cannot fully achieve the patient services and offer the advanced health goal that we are eyeing to reach," it added.
Gorriceta also indicated in the letter the other concerns of the workers, such as their long-overdue benefits, such as the One COVID Allowance (OCA), and issues of reapplications, in which some renewal of contracts were rejected despite excellent performance evaluation ratings.
Meanwhile, Iloilo board member June Mondejar said during his privilege speech on Tuesday, Jan 10, 2023, that if it is true that employees' salaries are released only every three months, "I don't think that employees can perform well and if they do not perform well, patients are adversely affected."
He added that patients and employees are already suffering and it should not be worsened by ineffective hospital management and services.
"This is something in which we must also lift our fingers for our affected constituents. Who knows, we would be instrumental in normalizing the situation," he emphasized.
In December 2022, Mia Arguelles, former operating room nurse in the said hospital, posted a lengthy post on her Facebook account about the silent protest of 15 workers at WVSGH, which also caught the attention of the public.
"Salaries have been delayed for decades (every 3 months gaabot) but until now, two days before Christmas eve, our November salaries haven't been given yet. Allowances that have been promised to us haven't seen the light of day and no one is giving statements about those, too. Not to mention the fact that all the hospital equipment and facilities have been broken for a long time (meaning ang obra namon is ang budlay pagid tapat because of broken elevators, broken light bulbs, burnt outlets)," part of the post read.
"Yes I am scared that I may lose my job for doing this, but I am more scared of the fact that a lot of our peers can't procure their basic needs because no one is fighting for us or should I say are already tired of fighting for benefits we ACTUALLY EARNED," it added.
Arguelles also said that the hospital laid off 22 contract of service (CoS) employees, including her, despite the fact that her performance evaluation scale was "outstanding".
"They laid off 21 other employees. Some of which opted to resign but 11 of those were from the finance department. ALL of the COS employees from their department got fired. The reason is still unclear up to this day. Yesterday, Jan 3, I was informed that my contract was disapproved despite the fact that my performance evaluation scale was outstanding and that I didn't have any major grievances in the past years. It was because nakita kuno ang post ko nga nagreklamo about sa 8 hour shift amuna wala nalang ako gin-renew (sic)," she said.
WVSGH chief Dr. Judy Ann Dumayas denied the allegations that the salaries of their personnel were not released on time.
"Wala sang delay as before the year (2022) ended, ang salaries and benefits of the plantilla personnel with permanent positions nahatag na ya tanan," she said.
Data from the hospital indicated that WVSGH has 172 plantilla personnel and 255 CoS workers.
Arguelles and other workers who led a protest against the hospital are CoS workers.
Dumayas also explained that CoS employees must submit their daily time records (DTRs), statements of account, and monthly reports of accomplishments before their salaries can be released.
This flow of salary processing for CoS workers is practiced not just in WVSGH, but also in other government offices, she added.
The hospital chief added that the budget for plantilla employees is provided by the national government through the DOH, while the salaries of the CoS workers depend on the hospital's generated income.
Dumayas also confirmed that the contracts of 255 CoS employees expired on Dec 31, 2022, and 22 workers were not renewed, including Arguelles.
Dumayas added that the rehiring of the CoS workers was assessed based on their performance ratings, which Arguelles also questioned on her Facebook post since she got an "excellent" rating.

balance for the immune system.
Restorative balance for the immune system.
MSMPure™ is a premium supplement compound that supports a healthy immune system through its relationship with glutathione, a key antioxidant in the body.
As a concentrated source of dietary sulfur, MSMPure™ supports the immune system by promoting healthy metabolic functions and reducing oxidative damage.
MSM contains concentrated levels of sulfur that are essential for glutathione production, a key antioxidant in the body.
As we age, our bodies sulfur levels decline, creating deficiency's of this essential mineral for the immune system. MSMPure™ helps to restore this back to optimal levels.
It is widely accepted that the amount of available sulfur in cropland is declining for a number of reasons. In addition, cooking or food processing can limit it availability. This means most people do not get enough sulfur in their diet for optimal health. MSMPure™ can help replenish the intake of dietary sulfur to support a healthy immunity.
Cellular regeneration and permeability play a critical role in a strong and balanced immune system. Sulfur-containing MSMPure™ helps support this process.
Concentrated levels of sulfur found in MSMPure™ are critical for the production of glutathione, which serves as an anti-oxidant, detoxifier and immune system enhancer.
