Elections in Scotland: United Kingdom at Devolution
After almost 300 years Scotland has elected a new Parliament. With the regional elections in Scotland and Wales the United Kingdom has made an important step towards devolution of political power. In both regions voters preferred the Labour Party for its reforms in favor of regional resurrection. Nationalist parties arrived second in both assemblies, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats found themselves third and fourth. After its victory in Great Britain´s general elections in 1997, Tony Blair's governing Labour Party had accelerated reforms by two referendums for regional autonomy for both Scotland and Wales. The popular decisions in favor of the reform and now the elections of regional assemblies represent only a first step in a wider reform process that is going to change institutions in the UK.

Vines - Part 3 - Clematis
Vines are amazing plants. With their ability to either climb vertically or spread horizontally, they enable us to create many-layered interest in our gardens. If you've avoided using vines because you think they can get out of hand and become weedy pests, think again. While this is true of some, it's also true of many garden-worthy plants that none of us would be without. With some exceptions, weediness is not a characteristic of Clematis, the Queen of the twining vines.

The Shining Company
Around the year 600 A.D., King Mynyddog of the Gododdin summoned three hundred warriors, the sons of minor kings, and six hundred shieldbearers to his capital of Dyn Eiden. For one year, Mynyddogg shaped his warriors into a fighting company the likes of which had not been seen in Britain since King Arthur's time. Mynyddog sent his warriors out to push back the invading Saxon tide. Of the warriors who left to fight the Saxons, only a few returned. One of these was Aneirin, a bard who recorded the warrriors' story in <I>The Gododdin</I>, the first surviving North British poem. This poem forms the basis for Rosemary Sutcliff's <U>The Shining Company</U>.
