Age Scotland helpline receiving COVID-19 calls.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited a vital helpline for older people that is handling COVID-19 inquiries, ahead of confirmation of a package of support for people, communities, local authorities and the third sector as they face the impact of the virus.
Communities Secretary Aileen Campbell and Social Security Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville, will set out details of a £350m package of support to the Scottish Parliament this afternoon.
Additional funding for the Age Scotland helpline was announced by the First Minister as she met staff at the charity's Edinburgh offices. She highlighted the service as an example of the important role the third sector can play in mitigating the impact of COVID-19.
The extra £80,000 being provided by the Scottish Government will cover new equipment, allow staff to work from home and help increase the helpline's capacity from about 100 calls a day to approximately 1,500.
The First Minister said:
"In these challenging times, when we are faced with a pandemic to which older people are especially vulnerable, Age Scotland's helpline is providing an invaluable service.
"As older people are advised to reduce their social contacts to protect themselves from COVID-19, the staff here in Edinburgh are a lifeline to those seeking practical advice or just a friendly chat.
"I am delighted that with this extra funding, the Scottish Government will help make this service available to many more people."
Brian Sloan, Age Scotland's Chief Executive, said:
"This is a concerning time for many older people and it is important that they have access to the most up to date, and trustworthy, information and advice as Scotland adapts to COVID-19.
"We are delighted that the Scottish Government are making a further investment in the Age Scotland Helpline so that we can scale up our efforts to provide information, friendship and advice to older people, their families and carers at this critical time.
"This will also help us increase the number of friendship calls we make to older people across Scotland who may have no one else to talk to as they socially distance themselves, providing them reassurance and a friendly chat."
Age Scotland's free, confidential helpline is available on 0800 12 44 222 Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm.
The money is additional to the £140,000 a year the Scottish Government already provides for the helpline.

My close friend and long-time Northeast Kingdom neighbor, the acclaimed independent filmmaker Jay Craven, has made four of my novels into movies:Where the Rivers Flow North, with Rip Torn, the renowned Native North American actress Tantoo Cardinal, and Michael J. Fox; A Stranger in the Kingdom, with Ernie Hudson and Martin Sheen; and, most recently,Disappearances, starring Kris Kristofferson as the irrepressible whiskey runner Quebec Bill Bonhomme; and Northern Borders, starring Bruce Dern Sometimes people ask me what it's like to see a book I've written made into a film. It's simply terrific. The characters come to life all over again, in new and compelling ways, on the screen. Also, it's been a world of fun to watch Jay film his movies on location in the mud, rain, and snow of backwoods northern Vermont. Thank you, Jay Craven. And thanks to all of the actors, technicians, artists, musicians, and investors, from Vermont and far beyond, who have helped bring about these movies.

Governor General Payette Doesn't Care About the Rules... or the Canadian Armed Forces
It is unfortunate that our Commander-in-Chief thinks that the lowly Canadian Forces Decoration (the C.D.), which rank and file members of the Canadian Armed Forces earn and wear with pride, is not worthy of being worn for an important national event like the Speech from the Throne. Does Her Excellency not like the red and white ribbon in the colour of our national flag or the gold coloured multi-sided disc? Why has the poor C.D., been relegated to a sock drawer at Rideau Hall for today's ceremony?
The Canadian Forces Decoration
Good enough for members of the Canadian Armed Forces
but not good enough for
Julie Payette, CC, CMM, COM, CQ, CD.
In advance of today's event in Ottawa we received more than thirty emails speculating on just what newfangled manner Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, would find to wear her gongs... well she has opted for a rather lazy approach, one that is disrespectful to members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Her Excellency has adopted the "jewellery method" of wearing medals. The Jewellery Method demands that you simply "wear whatever looks nice," as opposed to following the rules so clearly defined by the Office of the Governor General.
Governor General Payette & her first speech from the throne,
medals all wrong again. It's clear she just doesn't care about the rules.
For today's event, December 5, we see the Governor General wearing the insignia of Companion of the Order of Canada (C.C.) and Chevalier of the Ordre National du Quebec (C.Q), ... but what about her actual group of medals, with the 2012 Jubilee Medal and Canadian Forces Decoration? Obviously a provincial honour is more important to our Commander-in-Chief than serving as the head of the Canadian Armed Forces. Had she simply worn her medal group all would have been fine. She just needed to put her medal group where she has her Ordre of Quebec bow. The ultimate offence is that she places more importance on her C.Q., than she does on displaying her role as Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Exceedingly rare photo!Governor General Payette in a rare moment of
almost following the rules.
As readers, and anyone in the CAF will know, the Canadian Forces Decoration (C.D.) is awarded to members of the Canadian Armed Forces after 12 years of service (12 years of undetected crime as it is often put jokingly). The Governor General gets this medal when they are appointed as Governor General to signify that they also serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces.
To the right above we have an exceedingly rare photo showing Governor General Payette wearing her medals ALMOST correctly. She just needed to shorten her Order of Canada ribbon and all would have been fine (or put her C.C. on a bow). Is it really too much someone who gets two free houses, staff, travel and more than $300,000 a year to follow the rules that her office is suppose to uphold and regulate?
Despite this snub to the CAF it could have been worse. The Governor General could have decided to wear her NASA Medals!
Surprisingly few Remembrance Day 2019 offences reported, so no posting was required this year.

Christophe Stevenson December 6, 2019 at 10:18 AM
I would like to believe that Her Excellency the Governor General might have been instructed by the Right Honourable the Prime Minister to signal out the province of Québec more, by wearing her insignia of a knight of the National Order of Québec on a bow. Seeing that Her Excellency was wearing her full medal bar as early as yesterday, I would have a hard time to believe that she would have purposefully removed her insignia, and remount it on a bow, just to "snub" her other honours.
At least, I am trying to find a positive way to explain this situation.
jimboh1 December 23, 2019 at 7:09 AM
Is the C.Q. really a provincial honour, though? Quite sure Quebeckers would tell you that it's a 'national' honour... after all, it's called the "L'Ordre National Du Quebec" here: http://www.ordre-national.gouv.qc.ca/index-en.asp . Just sayin'
Governor General Payette Doesn't Care About the Ru...

Barra (neighborhood)
Barra (disambiguation)
Barra (Scottish Gaelic: Barraigh, Eilean Bharraigh, pronounced [ˈparˠaj, ˈelan ˈvarˠaj]) is an island in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Barra is the second southernmost inhabited island of the Outer Hebrides after the adjacent island of Vatersay, to which it is connected by a causeway. In 2011 the population was 1,174, almost 100 higher than the 1,078 counted at the time of the 2001 census.
According to the 2011 Census, there are 761 Gaelic speakers (62%) on Barra.
The area of Barra is roughly 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi), the main village being Castlebay (Bàgh a' Chaisteil).
The west of the island has white sandy beaches backed by shell-sand, machair and the east has numerous rocky inlets.
Kisimul Castle at Castlebay is located on a rock in the bay, so giving the village its name. A smaller castle can be found in the middle of Loch St Clare on the west side of the Island in Tangasdale.
The highest elevation on the island is Heaval, halfway up which is located a prominent white marble statue of the Madonna and Child, called "Our Lady of the Sea", which was erected during the (Marian year) of 1954. The predominant faith on the island is Catholicism and the Catholic church dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea is immediately apparent to all who arrive into Castlebay.

I you, Carpark North
I you, Bamboo
I you
From other worlds
of curves and curls
you crashed right in to me
a trail so long
a scent so strong
I can't deny I'm flying
finally it hurts
like the tales they've told me
with my nerves outside
and you within me
suddenly it burns
now your lips have caught me
into your eyes
I climb inside
I dare to touch your skin
I crouch I crawl
I taste the walls
my sweat, your moves
today we merge


This starting point has never left his personal sound and this distinct feeling will always be noticeable in his own music and dj-sets Kickstarting his career as a Saturnight resident at Belgium's biggest nightclub Versuz , which gave him opportunities to appear at other big clubs and festivals.
At Versuz he started playing real bigroom house With deep and bumpy undertones, phat base lines and heavy melodies he brought something very different to the Belgian club scene. Something he still delivers since Stefan will always be the one taking the less traveled road, taking chances and trying to create a vibe based on great music instead off going for the easy score. While developing his own and unique sound as a DJ, it was obvious that he got noticed by promoters and bookers around the world which made him perform at events/clubs like Tomorrowland, Ministry Of Sound Pach and a massive amount of other ones! On the musical side he is working hard in his studio to take his production skills to the next level, growing with every track and on a path to find an even more specific sound.
Balancing with his grooves between tech house and techno and adding real house melodies and vocals on top! You can experience his style on labels such as Urbana Recordings, Freakin909 Vamos Music, and Nervous Records to name just a few and with new releases coming up on several international labels it's needless to say that this year will be even bigger then the years before.

A real estate salesman and businessman, Frey decided to try his luck in racing in the early 1980's and raced in Formula Ford, Formula 3 and sportscars before making it to F3000. In two seasons running in his own team, he failed to qualify, before moving his team to sportscars. He then moved to raced in American single-seaters before having a number of legal issues which eventually resulted in him being prosecuted for selling apartments that were not his to sell and selling properties that were his to two different people. Since then, Jean-Pierre has started again - he worked for a commerce company in London, but now lives in Agno, where he is involved in a number of businesses.

new findings on immunotherapy
New research unlocks how an immunotherapy works and who could benefit from it
Our scientists have discovered a marker in the immune system that can be used to predict which people with type 1 diabetes will benefit from an immunotherapy drug, unlocking its use to help stop the condition in its tracks.
Our researcher Professor Lucy Walker studied blood samples from people with type 1 diabetes who had taken part in a trial of an immunotherapy, called Abatacept. They found that by analysing a particular immune cell involved in the immune attack in type 1 diabetes they could make predictions about how well people will respond to Abatacept.
Professor Lucy Walker
Reprogramming the immune system
Abatacept is a drug that's already used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, which like type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. It works by reprogramming the immune system so that it no longer attacks and destroys healthy tissue.
In a past trial with people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes – who still have some working insulin-producing cells – results suggested Abatacept could help to protect cells from further damage. But it was clear that while the immunotherapy worked really well for some people, in others it had no effect at all. This murky picture of the benefits of Abatacept prevented it from being taken forward into later phase clinical trials.
To help figure out why the treatment can benefit some people and not others, Professor Walker and her team at UCL, along with scientists from King's College London and AstraZeneca, went back to the samples from people who had been involved in the Abatacept trial.
Helper T cells helping to predict responses
They found that Abatacept reduced the numbers of a particular type of immune cell, called follicular helper T cells. Previously Professor Walker discovered that these cells are involved in the immune attack behind type 1 diabetes and are found at higher levels in people with the condition.
The research team also showed that treatment with Abatacept changed the helper T cells' characteristics. They then used machine learning to compare blood samples from people who responded well to Abatacept with those who didn't show much of a response to the treatment.
They found that their machine learning algorithm was able to detect differences in the helper T cells of 'responders' and 'non-responders', even before treatment. This suggests these cells can be used as a biomarker to help decide which people will benefit from the immunotherapy.
The right people for the right trials
Excitingly, being able to tell in advance who is likely to benefit from taking Abatacept may reignite research into this drug as a treatment for type 1 diabetes.
Dr Elizabeth Robertson, our Director of Research, explained:
"Immunotherapies hold huge promise to slow the progression of type 1 diabetes in people newly diagnosed or at high risk of the condition, and to bring us closer to a cure. But, so far, research we've seen in this area over the years hasn't translated into licensed, effective treatments.
"These new findings open the way for scientists to identify those most likely to respond to Abatacept, so they can invite the right people onto trials and ensure they are more likely to succeed. This means we could rapidly see this treatment licensed and given to those who would be most likely to benefit.
"Not only would this be a huge leap forward in how we treat type 1 diabetes and in changing lives, but it could also inspire new investment into immunotherapy research so that we can really see progress accelerate."
Read more about how we're supporting immunotherapy research in the UK and to make sure new treatments reach people with type 1 diabetes as soon as possible.

In Spain, and especially in Mexico, a Rosca de Reyes is served for the traditional merienda on Three Kings Day, January 6, along with chocolate caliente. The rosca (round or oval ring of bread) is baked with a special surprise inside: a small porcelain figurine that represented the Infant Jesus (today a dried bean can be substituted). The person who gets the piece with the figurine, is responsible for buying the tamales for El Día de la Candelaria, or Candelmas, February 2.
RESERVE 1 tablespoon evaporated milk to use in egg wash; refrigerate. Heat remaining evaporated milk in small glass measure to a temperature of 110º to 115º F. Stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
COMBINE flour, 3/4 cup sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, anise seed and salt in large mixer bowl. Add 4 eggs, butter, yeast mixture and vanilla extract. Mix together with electric mixer fitted with dough hook or by hand until soft, smooth dough is formed.
PLACE dough on lightly floured surface; knead gently for about 5 minutes. Shape into a ball. Place in large greased bowl; turn over. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
PUNCH dough down. Form the wreath by rolling it into a log shape then bending the ends around to form a circle (a 12-inch round skillet could be used as a guide for circle). Place on large, lightly greased baking sheet. Lift up one area and insert the figurine or bean that has been wrapped in wax paper by pushing it up through the bottom. Smooth out lumps or tears from surface of dough. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Allow to rise in warm place for another 45 minutes until almost doubled in size.
COMBINE reserved egg and reserved tablespoon evaporated milk; brush top with egg wash. Decorate it with candied fruit, candied strips and almonds by pressing them in slightly. Brush again with egg wash. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

Governor Gregoire: "I Support Same-Sex Marriage"
"It's time, it's the right thing to do, and I will introduce a bill to do it," Gov. Gregoire promised yesterday afternoon.
She told the press and the state, "I say this as a wife, a mother, a student of law, and above all as a Washingtonian with a life long commitment to equality and freedom."
Perhaps her commitment to freedom has lapsed or been misplaced, while the state has, under her direction, assaulted, through litigation, the freedom of the Stormans family to choose not to sell abortion pills in their Olympia area pharmacy.
Her resolve to re-define marriage is evident.
This is a significant endorsement for Sen. Ed Murray and his campaign to re-define marriage, but it is not surprising. However, the Governor, Sen. Murray and other homosexual activist legislators will ultimately not have the last word.
The people will have the last word. Either through their elected officials or at the ballot.
A group of leaders of faith based organizations, pro-marriage legislators, lawyers and other church and business leaders have been meeting to prepare for this announcement and to organize a consistent and effective response in defense of natural marriage.
Sen. Murray confirmed to the press yesterday that his 'everything but marriage' domestic partnership bill "has helped lay the ground work for full marriage."
Gregoire told KOMO News, "I want Washington to become the seventh state in the nation to make gay marriage legal."
This is a critical moment in the history of this state.
It's important what Murray or Gregoire says, but it is more important what you have to say.
Gregoire has taken a bold political step. while she is not running for a third term, she has her legacy to think about. Apparently, she wants re-defining marriage as part of that legacy. Should she prevail, our kids and grand kids will live with the consequences.
Will we be so bold in our response? Will pastors and church leaders be so bold?
Pastor Ken Hutcherson told me day before yesterday he is concerned over the apathy in the church. I share his concern.
Senator Val Stevens has written a public response to Governor Gregoire, please take a moment and read it. She asked me to urge you to call your elected officials and tell them you strongly oppose homosexual marriage.
Please take a moment now and call your State Representative and State Senator. You can find their contact number or email on our website or you can use this map to help find your elected official.
Begin calling your State Representatives and Senators now. The Legislative session begins Monday. The bill will be introduced sooner than later.
After making your personal calls, please do the following:
2. Urge your family and friends to call their Representatives and Senators and tell them firmly, but respectfully, they strongly oppose homosexual marriage and ask them not to support it.
3. Become a leader within your circle of influence. Activate others at church and within your community.
4. Show up in Olympia. We will be announcing when the hearings on this bill will occur. I'm asking for at least 10,000 people to show up for the hearing. No, we won't all be able to get into the hearing room, but we will be on campus. We will be heard and seen. And we can schedule meetings with our own elected officials or at least stop by their office and leave a personal note. Details on this will follow.
This is critical. The timing is urgent. It is now.
Myself and a number of pro-marriage legislators are already working behind the scenes.
If we are to successfully defend marriage, it is going to take your financial support. The other side is highly funded. We are not. Please consider what God would have you do to help financially.
We are going to do everything humanly possible to stop the re-definition of marriage in the Legislature. If we are unable to do so, we will take it to the people for a vote.
The battle is at the door. Thank you for standing with us with your support.
Be Vigilant. Be Discerning. Be Prayerful. Be Active.

"Senator Val Stevens has written a public response to Governor Gregoire..."
Don't look now, but Gary just revealed the central dishonesty in his suit to overturn state public records laws and grant the signers of Ref 71 anonymity. You see State Senator Val Stevens, who has been a strident and outspoken anti-gay voice in our state legislature, is none other than Jane Doe #4 from the lawsuit. Yup, Sen Stevens, who just a few short months ago was arguing in court - presumably with a straight face- that she was so afraid of those mean nasty gay and lesbian activists that she needed the protection of anonymity.
So what has changed since these arguments were made and failed in court? Why does Val now feel that she is able to give public voice to her extreme anti-gay views with any fear for her or her families safety?
Wake up Washington! Val was lying about the fearing for her safety then, and she's lying about the consequences of marriage equality now!

Against Redefining Marriage
The Governor of the State of Washington has made it abundantly clear she fully supports same sex marriage.
This is somewhat surprising to me as her Catholic church opposes it.
And her church is right as Scripture supports marriage as being between one man and one woman.
This kid stands for traditional marriage and understands that children who are born of such a union where father and mother are committed to and love each other, fare much better in life and are much less likely to experiment with drugs, sex or get in trouble with the law.
Society can ill afford to turn its back on thousands of years of history that demonstrates civilized peoples in advancing cultures have always stood behind this traditional and normal practice. 1 2
Going back to our roots, our founding fathers, who, while not all were Christian, clearly understood Judeo-Christian values and supported them. The success of the American Experiment is due largely to that foundation of godly principles including prayer to Almighty God for His assistance. Any claim to the contrary can be discredited by the historical record. *
If we forsake that foundation we place ourselves outside His protection and will suffer the consequences.
This is all out war on Christian family values. This is a test of what we stand for as a people. Those who demand legalizing what is right in their own eyes are myopic. This attitude will lead to anarchy and chaos, it is what led to the downfall of the nation of Israel back in the time of the Judges. Did not the Egyptian, the Babylonian, the Medo-Persian, the Grecian, and the Roman Empires all join the ash heap of history due to moral failure?
It behooves us to stay the course, to resist special interest groups that are demanding acceptance of their chosen behavior and are trying to silence any opposition by punishing those who stand for Biblical righteousness / absolute truth.
I respectfully request that you deny our Governor and all those who are willing to bring disgrace on our beloved State of Washington by opposing their drive to redefine marriage. No state in this union has yet voted to do so. By the grace of Almighty God and the support of a godly people, energized by the truth, we will not be the first. I pray you have the courage to stand with us.

Anonymous...how interesting that you attack someone for wanting to protect others from a radical element but you do not have the courage to identify youself except at "Anonymous). Senator Stevens has the courage to write an open letter with her name attached.
First the homosexuals wanted just "equal righta", then "everything but marriage". Now, the ask for "same sex marriage". Who are those who hide behind the truth. Senator Stevens understands the foundations on which our great country is founded. Remove them and our country will crumble.

The first domestic partnerships were registered in our state in summer of 2007, more than 4.5 years ago. The "everything but marriage" expansion of the DP law passed in November 2009, more than 2 years ago. That expansion gave same-sex couples in our state all of the state rights and benefits of marriage except for the name.
I think it's a good time for Gary to update us on all of the dire predictions he has made along the way about what would happen to our state, our culture, and marriage if DPs were allowed to stand. Gary?
Gary has never been correct in any of his dire predictions. Never. None have come to fruition. None. And none ever will.
It doesn't matter. His supporters don't live in a reality based world. They live in a world where they are afraid of anyone not like themselves. For gosh sake, they try to please a man in the sky who obsesses about where men put their private parts.
Reality doesn't matter here.
Well, Bud, unlike Val I haven't cost the state hundreds of thousands of dollars defending against a lawsuit that was little more than a poorly disguised and incredibly dishonest anti-gay PR campaign. Unlike Val, I accepted the existing rules, rather than try to activist judges to change them after the fact.

Bwahahahaha. John is calling them 'activist' judges??? Talk about the pot calling kettle black. Homosexuality is speaking to such a tiny minority demanding the designation of marriage in spite of the clearly obvious aberrant behavior. ONLY activist judges are able to go against the will of the majority and the tradition of our civil society.
In order for the homosexual community to have judges decide in their favor they must be activists making decisions regarding our society rather than sticking to their constitutional duties.
I acknowledge that you are referring to the recent ruling. In that case that judge was responding to the law. I'm referring to the overall call of the homosexuals to redefine marriage to include their behavior derived by choice to participate.
The complete damage hasn't been done yet. We shall see as our children are indoctrinated by the schools that a detestable behavior is perfectly fine. What's right for them is right for them and what's right for you is right for you, there are no moral absolutes. If it feels good then it is good. Look, even the state has given it it's blessing!
Fools! We will reap what we sow. God is not mocked.
Craig in Lacey
Hey, didn't Gary Randall tell us that domestic partnerships was essentially gay marriage and that all the supposed harms that come from gay marriage would flow from domestic partnerships? But there hasn't been any harm. Just as there has been no harm in Iowa or Vermont or DC or New Hampshire.
So if gay marriage arrived 2 years ago and if there has been no harm, how is he going to stoke panic now?

know until we reached New York that he was the famous Peter B Sweeney of the Tweed Ring of swindlers in the government of New York. He had been a fugitive in Paris for some years and was returning by special arrangement to endeavor to effect a compromise with justice in that famous case that brought Samuel J Tilden to the front as Presidential Candidate. I do not know what arrangements he made, but he was allowed to return to Paris to spend the rest of his life undisturbed.
In New York I spent a few days at the Church of St Michael at the invitation of an old acquaintance, Father Spalding of Kentucky, then Bishop-elect of Peoria, Illinois. My old professor at Bardstown, the Rev Jas P Ryan, was then a Paulist and I had a pleasant visit with him at their monastery. I witnessed the St Patrick's Day parade and listened to a fine lecture on Ireland by Bishop-elect Spalding at St Michael's in the evening.
On my way west I could not leave Kentucky off my itinerary, so coming to Louisville I was the guest of the family of my friend Mr Deppen, and I made a circuit of the places with which I was familiar in former days.
Bardstown with its old college and cathedral, Nazareth, Loretto, Lebanon, New Haven and other places in what is called the Holy Land were visited again, a mass and a few words to the students of the college, and a seranade [serenade] by the band in return recalled former days when I helped to do for others what my successors were now doing for me. A former classmate, the Rev Thoe F Tierney, got an extension of time for me from Bishop Machebeuf, and I went with him to Franklin, Kentucky, his mission, for a visit. It was Holy Week and we went to Nashville and helped at the Holy Thursday services and again on Good Friday. There I made the acquaintance of Father Scannell, the rector of the Cathedral and future Bishop of Omaha. Nearly forty years later I assisted at his funeral in the City of Omaha. We also helped Father Bax at Bowling Green for Holy Saturday, and then Father Tierney told me I would have to preach for him on Easter Sunday. I had very little time to prepare and as this was my first sermon I was glad it was to be a small congregation. It can be understood that it was short, and nearly half the attendants were Protestants, who generally are quite appreciative of a sermon the Gospel.
Continuing my way toward Denver I stopped at St Louis to see my sister who had become a member of the Loretto Order and was teaching at St Michael's school in that city. It was my first sight of her as a Sister and her first sight of me as a priest. We had many things to speak of in the wonderful dispositions of Providence which need not to be written down here. Her life was not a long one, and there are some yet living who knew and loved Sister Theodors. It was while I was in St Louis on this occasion that the old Southern Hotel was burned with the loss of many lives. I was staying with Father Eustace at St Michael's and heard of the catastrophe only the next morning. I went down to the scene of the fire and saw the ruins while the fire department was yet at work extinquishing [extinguishing] the blaze among the debris of what was one of St Louis' most popular hostelries.
