Pressed
for time by a heavy travelling schedule I must resort once again to
the blog of my friend and fellow blogger, Alfie B Mittington. His
theme is again Cyprian Criminality and the two articles he cites are
also worthy of a read. The opening sentence of the Ambrose piece
mirrors my own instinctive reaction to the attempted high-jacking of
a significant percentage of deposits of small savers.
From
time to time I get emails from people seeking information on Galicia,
or even help in progressing a dream of buying property here. I try to
help, when I can. A recent correspondent is a practitioner in the
field of anthroposophy,
about
which I was totally ignorant. As you may be too, here's something to
help:-
The
General
Anthroposophical Society is an organization dedicated to supporting
the community of those interested in the form of spiritual philosophy
known as anthroposophy.
The society was initiated during 1913 by members of the Theosophical Society in Germany.
The Society was re-founded as the General Anthroposophical Society in
1923/4 "to nurture the life of the soul, both in the individual
and in human society, on the basis of a true knowledge of the
spiritual world." It includes an esoteric school at its centre,
the School of Spiritual Science. The Society's headquarters is in Switzerland.
The Society has national Societies in many countries. Its primary
activities include organizing members' meetings and conferences,
supporting research and providing communication channels for a
variety of purposes. The Society also tries to encourage sustainable
initiatives in the many practical fields in which its members are active. The
society had approximately 60,000 members in 2008. More
here.
Finally
. . . I was once told that the self-employment fields most favoured
by British men and women were window-cleaning and hairdressing,
respectively. So there are a lot of hairdressers around, all - it seems - trying
to be very cute with their name. I'm resolved to draw up a list of
these while I'm in the UK but for now will leave you just this one, seen
today . . . . Headlines.
