Perhaps a mental trip to Alba just might lift our spirits and give us some food for thought. Some are old and some are new, but they all are interesting. THE SALTIRE or National Flag of Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Bratach na h-Alba, Banner o' Scotland), consists of a blue field blazoned with a silver or white saltire (Cross of St. Andrew).The saltire has been in use since AD 1286. In AD 1385 the Scottish Parliament decreed that all Scottish soldiers shall wear the saltire in white on both their chest and back to distinguish them in battle. It became the official flag in AD 1542. According to legend, in AD 832 Oengues II led an army of Picts and Scots into battle against the Angles, near modern-day Athelstaneford, East Lothian. The legend states that while engaged in prayer on the eve of battle, Oengues vowed that if granted victory he would appoint Saint Andrew as the Patron Saint of Scotland. St. Andrew then appeared to Oengues that night in a dream and assured him of victory. The day of the battle, clouds in the form of the cross of St. Andrew appeared in the sky. GAELIC is part of a very old language group collectively referred to as CELTIC languages. It came westward when the ancestors of today's Scots left Circassia in Central Asia, now modern day Kazakhstan. There are six subdivisions of the Celtic language: Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Welsh, Manx, Cornish and Breton. HAGGIS is essentially a sausage. Think of it as a large hot dog made from scrapple and you have haggis. Scots, being the frugal folks they were, used every part of the sheep except the bleat. The offal or leftovers were used to make haggis. Today there are strict controls over the type of meat used in haggis. Only choice cuts are used. That is why haggis is expensive. It also contains oatmeal and assorted spices for flavour. Originally, haggis was made from cattle offal. It was only after The Highland Clearances (when sheep replaced people) that sheep offal were used. THE KILT -There are actually two types. The most common is the modern kilt of feile beg which means small kilt. The modern kilt is a creation from the Victorian Era. A textile mill owner and a Sassanach to boot, in Scotland designed them because he felt the original Scottish kilts were too dangerous to wear around machinery. Originally, the kilt was much larger and was one complete unit the breacan feile which means big kilt. It was wrapped around the waist and held with a belt. Then, thrown over the shoulder, essentially covering the wearer from the knees up. It also served as a blanket at night. It was about 56 inches wide and nine yards long. Hence the origin of the phrase The Whole Nine Yards. TARTAN is used to distinguish different clans. It is believed that originally, each clan wore a tunic of a different solid colour. Although, if the clan was prosperous enough a second or third colour might be introduced.The Roman writer Virgil referred to the Celts as wearing “striped” tunics. Consider that Latin at that time did not possess a word for checkered therefore striped was used.If truth be told all tartans were created during the Victorian Era. The intricate designs of today were created by two lads of dubious heritage the Sobieski Brothers ( They also went by Hay Allan, Stuart Hay and Sobieski Stuart. That is a story in itself.) The textile manufacturers went along with the charade and produced today’s tartans. These “tartan’s” were later adopted by the laird of the clan. Laboring under the assumption that folks will buy anything if you sell it correctly, each manufacturer created a slightly different,lighter pattern of the same clan tartan called classic, hunting or ancient. Supposedly, these were patterned after tartans later found on the battlefield at Drummossie Moor or Culloden. Scots at that time typically removed their tartans before battle and wore only their tunics in battle. TARTAN DAY April 6 th, Jean Watson of Nova Scotia, began it in 1986, as a day to display your Scottish heritage. This date was chosen because it coincided with the signing of The Declaration of Arbroath April 6, AD 1320. On this day all those of Scottish descent are to wear something Scottish. It is celebrated, literally, around the world . The largest event is now a week-long celebration held in New York city culminating in a parade whose Grand Marshall is always a famous Scot. See what the power a single Scot can weild. THE DECLARATION OF ARBROATH sometimes referred to as The Oath of Arbroath. The Declaration of Arbroath is a declaration of Scottish independence, made in AD 1320. It is one of three letters (the only one to survive) submitted to Pope John XXII, dated 6 April AD 1320, intended to confirm Scotland's status as an independent, sovereign state and defending Scotland's right to use military action when unjustly attacked. It was signed by 39 leading Scots. It contained the famous phrase: ...for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself. It is widely, though incorrectly. regarded as the inspiration for The American Declaration of Independence. THE FLOWER OF SCOTLAND is not a plant, it is the unofficial anthem of Scotland. It is sung at special social occasions and before all sporting events. (there is a fabulous rendition sung by 65,000 fans before a Scotland -England football tie at Wembley Stadium.) It refers to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in AD 1314. The “official” anthem is God Save The Queen. THE EDINBURGH TATTOO is properly called The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Held each August, it began in 1950 to display the talents of the British military bands. The show now includes bands from the Commonwealth as well as invited groups from all over the world. The term Tattoo refers to “Last Orders.” It originally was a signal, sounded by the local military garrison, to the tavern owners to close the taps on their ale kegs, so the soldiers could return to their billetes at a reasonable hour. GRETNA GREEN on the Scottish borders was the place a young couple could tie the knot of matrimony. In England there were rules governing who,when and at what age one could wed. However, in Scotland, although part of the UK, those rules didn't apply. Gretna was located just over the border and became The Place to hurriedly tie the knot. Until recently, a similar arrangement was found on The US East Coast in Elkton, Maryland. THE FALKIRK WHEEL is an engineering marvel that connects the Forth and Clyde Canals to the Union Canal. Basically, it is shaped like a two headed Celtic axe and acts like a ferris wheel that lifts or lowers two caissons. The caissons or gondolas are 24 metres (79 feet) long. Each caisson holds a canal boat with people and 80,000 imperial gallons (96,000 US gallons) of water. The trip up or down takes about 4 minutes. GREYFRIARS BOBBY was a Scottish Terrier whose owner John Gray passed away in AD 1858. Bobby was so devoted to John Gray that he remained by his owner's grave until he himself passed away on January 14,1872. He is immortalised with a statue located in front of The Greyfriars Pub in Edinburgh. THE SLEAGH MAITH or Fairies have been a part of Scottish Folklore since the time of the Picts. They are dwarf like wee folk who wear highland dress and live in underground caverns. They eat human food and drink fine spiritus liquors (some say it is the progenitor of Uisage Beatha (the Water of Life ie:modern day Scotch). Some of the food is stolen from human hearths and the liquor is made from stolen grain. They venture out only on selected days and times. That is when mere mortals can see them. Usually they can be seen only be seen by those with Second Sight ( The seventh son or daughter).

  • Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

  • Potential for Growth of Clostridium Perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling
    FOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND DISEASE Volume 7, Number 2, 2010 ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089=fpd.2009.0405 Potential for Growth of Clostridium perfringens from Spores in Pork Scrapple During Cooling Vijay K. Juneja,1 Anna C.S. Porto-Fett,1 Kelly Gartner,2 Linda Tufft,2 and John B. Luchansky1 Abstract We conducted stabilization studies to determine the ability of Clostridium perfringens spores to germinate and grow during exponential cooling of a commercial formulation of pork scrapple. Scrapple was inoculated with a mixture of three strains of C. perfringens spores (NTCC 8238, NCTC 8239, and ATCC 10288), vacuum packaged, and reheated (20 min=93.38C) in a circulating water bath. The cooked samples were cooled (30 s) in an ice bath before being transferred to a programmable water bath to cool through the temperature range of 54.48C to 7.28C in 12, 14, or 21 h to simulate deviations from the required cooling time of 6.5 h. After cooling, the samples, in duplicate, were analyzed to determine if growth from spores had occurred. The samples were plated onto tryptose–sulfite–cycloserine agar and incubated anaerobically at 378C for 48 h before counting the colonies. Minimal growth (less than 1.0 log) was observed during a 12- or 14 h cooling period. However, when the time to achieve 7.28C was extended to 21 h, C. perfringens spores germinated and grew from an inoculum of *3.0 log10 to *7.8 log10 CFU=g. Thus, scrapple must be cooled after cooking to 7.28C within 6.5 h, but for no more than 14 h, to prevent a food safety hazard from outgrowth of C.

  • Scotland the Brave? an Overview of the Impact of Scottish Independence on Business
    SCOTLAND THE BRAVE? AN OVERVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ON BUSINESS JULY 2021 SCOTLAND THE BRAVE? AN OVERVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ON BUSINESS Scottish independence remains very much a live issue, as First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, continues to push for a second referendum, but the prospect of possible independence raises a host of legal issues. In this overview, we examine how Scotland might achieve independence; the effect of independence on Scotland's international status, laws, people and companies; what currency Scotland might use; the implications for tax, pensions and financial services; and the consequences if Scotland were to join the EU. The Treaty of Union between England of pro-independence MSPs to 72; more, (which included Wales) and Scotland even, than in 2011. provided that the two Kingdoms "shall upon the first day of May [1707] and Independence, should it happen, will forever after be United into one Kingdom affect anyone who does business in or by the Name of Great Britain."

  • Issues Around Scottish Independence
    Issues Around Scottish Independence by David Sinclair September 1999 Published by The Constitution Unit 29/30 Tavistock Square London WC 1H 9EZ Tel. 017 1 504 4977 O The Constitution Unit 1999 Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION THE ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE The referendum: who votes, and who decides the question? When should a referendum be held? Speed of the transition Who negotiates for each side? SCOTLAND IN THE WORLD ECONOMICS OF INDEPENDENCE SCOTLAND AND THE REST OF THE UK ANNEX 1: GREENLAND AND SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE ANNEX 2: THE BACKGROUND TO THE ARGUMENTS OVER SCOTLAND'S FISCAL DEFICIT Expenditure Revenue Conclusions Executive Summary The debate about Scottish independence should include not only the case for and against independence but a better understanding of the process of independence itself. There are a number of key issues which would need to be resolved before Scotland could become independent. 1. If the issue of independence is put to a referendum who should vote in that referendum and what should the question be? Should that referendum be held before or after negotiations on independence? 2. Once negotiations are taking place, how quickly can a transition to be independence be achieved? 3. What are the key issues that will need to be negotiated? Can any likely sticking points be identified? 4. What would the position of an independent Scotland be in international law? Would Scotland automatically succeed to UK treaty rights and obligations, including membership of the EU? Or would these have to be renegotiated? 5. What are the economics of an independent Scotland? Answering this question involves understanding the current financial position of Scotland within the UK, the likely future finances of Scotland as an independent country, and the costs of transition to independence.

  • Livermush Is a Unique Regional Pork Dish That Can Only Be Found in a Small Area of North Carolina
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ º [Music Througout] º >> [Voice over]: Livermush is a unique regional pork dish that can only be found in a small area of North Carolina. Livermush is made by mixing pork scraps, pork liver, cornmeal, and spices; which are then formed into a brick. The most common way to prepare livermush is to cut the brick into half inch slices and fry them in butter. These slices are often served alone or in between two halves of a biscuit with yellow mustard or grape jelly. The production of livermush has been industrialized in the last century by local companies such as Mack's Livermush & Meats in Shelby, North Carolina and Neese's in Greensboro, North Carolina; but before livermush was mass produced it was made at home. This food tradition is thought to have been brought to Western North Carolina by German immigrants. Germans, like many other Europeans, came to America hoping to build better lives without poverty or persecution. Many Germans first settled in Pennsylvania but then journeyed to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. According to the United States Census of 1792 approximately 20,000 Germans were living in North Carolina. This makes up five percent of the population at the time. These Germans took an old dish, pon hoss, from their homeland and made the old recipe work for the new world. Pon Hoss developed into scrapple in Pennsylvania and into livermush in North Carolina.
