  • Rosskeen Parish Church of Scotland SCO 10093
    Rosskeen Parish Church of Scotland SCO 10093 Rosskeen is a small but active church in the middle of Alness about 20 miles north of Inverness. Since becoming vacant we have been very fortunate to have the services of the Rev Carol Rattenbury, an O.L.M. who is also our Interim Moderator. Carol is pictured here with some of our weekly collections for HomeStart and Highland Foodbank 1 Rosskeen Parish Church of Scotland SCO 10093 Like many churches we have struggled with falling numbers in our Sunday school so recently our committed team of leaders launched a new initiative. The “J-Team” The children meet in our hall at 11am and then come into the church for the last ten minutes of the service to tell us what they have been doing. They may still be few in number but they are having a great time and the congregation really enjoy hearing from them at the end of the service. 2 Rosskeen Parish Church of Scotland SCO 10093 Another initiative with young people has been to start having Messy Church. This is on the first Sunday of the month and is held at 3pm in the big hall. People are warmly invited to join the fun crafting, singing and snacking and find out in a different way about Jesus Sometimes it is really messy This initiative has been very popular and we have had up to twenty children plus adults on a Sunday afternoon with many of the children having no previous church connection. 3 Rosskeen Parish Church of Scotland SCO 10093 Mums and Toddlers For a long time now we have successfully run a Mums and Toddlers group which meets in the church halls once a fortnight on a Tuesday morning at 10am.

These girls, members of the Chartered Society of. Massage and Medical Gymnastics, are applying the wide knowledge -gained from long practical experience in British hospitals to helping Indian troops to regain the use of atrophied muscles* This is one service which can truthfully be said to be rendered with a smile, and its'effects are to be seen in the willingness with which the lane and the halt respond to the healing touch and carry through the various remedial exercises with regulated weights, dumb-bells, Indian clubs, pedalling on a stationary bicycle and the medicine ball. Happiness in their vocation and in their surroundings is the keynote of the out three of successful work now being carried by these masseuses in a Karachi hospital. They are Miss Mary R. Rogers, of Chackmore, Bucks; Miss C.M. Nicolson, of Gullane (East Lothian) .and St, Andrews (Fife); and Miss label L. Ritchie, of Warmit (Fife) and Dundee, Since in I dia last November these cheerful "raids of the Massage arriving n Corps' have had ample opportunity to study life in the country at close quarters and get really to know the Indian soldier. In turn the ordinary sepoy has come to appreciate the patience and unfailing kindliness of these sisters from over the seas. Miss Rogers, who had her training at the Royal Hospital at Buxton, later worked at St, John's Hospital, Lewisham, London and also' at the Royal Infirmary at Derby* 'She was a member of a party of 13 members of the Massage Corps detailed for work in India* Her first impression of India was at Bombay, For her, the lack of greenery and freshness leftbehind in England was made up by the gaily coloured the clothes worn by the Indians and background of fine buildings* at of "After a month spent Pooma, some us were sent to Karachi", she said, but "We worked among British troops, soon were posted to the Indian hospital.

  • Roots and Relationships of Greening Buildings
    Eco-Architecture II 57 Roots and relationships of greening buildings S. Fruehwirth Institute of Architecture and Landscape, Technical University Graz, Austria Abstract In ancient Greece, the Hanging Gardens have their origin in the cult of Adonis. To honour Adonis, corn and spices were planted on the roof of the houses – and the Cult Garden emerged. By 2,600 BC it was reported that grapevines were used for arbours. Such functional uses were also found in Roman gardens: pergolas with rambling roses and arbour trails rambling with grapevines already existed. As protection against climatic influences, the grass roofs in Scandinavia and also in the hot southern regions were used to equalise temperature and create a pleasant indoor environment. Nowadays, similar temperature regulation is used in Austria and Hungary for subterranean wine cellars. Further subterranean buildings are military bunkers. They were built underneath artificial earth banks, and for a better camouflage, the roof was cropped. In his “five points of a new architecture”, Le Corbusier explained the necessity of roof greenings. This green roof was one of the first claims for a private green space generated with the atmosphere of nature. Looking at the individual origins of the history of covered buildings more closely, we can compare the different but sometimes similar use of plants to greening buildings in connection with contemporary architecture. Keywords: historical development of greening buildings, vertical garden, green facades, green roof. 1 Introduction The historic development of greening buildings has various origins. In this paper, the meaning of the creation of green roofs in ancient times and the first mention of tendrillar plants that are interwoven with a built horizontal and vertical environment will be analysed and recovered in contemporary architectural tendencies.
