New directives issued to Lothian and Borders police …2…in new guidelines that also instruct officers not to refer to women as "pet," "love" or "dear."

The word "homosexual"…3… also be avoided because it is derogatory and stems from a…4…century notion that homosexuality was an illness, the guidelines say.

"Embarrassment can also be caused to people by asking them questions …5…appear to assume a particular sexual orientation, …6…"Are you married?..".," according to a booklet, issued after officers were sent on political correctness courses.

Calling people "old" can be offensive as it suggests "worn out" and "of little use," officers were advised. Older or elderly are deemed …7…appropriate, while terms such as "old fool" should be avoided by all means.

The police force, which covers around a third of Scotland's population including in the capital Edinburgh, said Monday it realized that …8…language was difficult.

You'll Never Guess Who's Still Alive

LONDON (Reuters) - British war leader Winston Churchill's foul-mouthed 104-year old parrot refused to surrender to newshounds Monday …1…a British newspaper tracked the bird down and discovered it was still alive.

"They've been trying to get him …2…all day, but he's not saying much," said Sylvia Martin, who manages Heathfield Nurseries where parrot Charlie has lived …3…12 years.

Charlie, who kept Churchill company during World War II, was famous…4… occasionally squawking four-letter obscenities about Hitler. But Martin told Reuters the bird has mellowed.

"He …5…very much anymore -- usually just hello and goodbye. But he does get so …6…about music and dances to it. He's very fit."

Charlie -- invariably referred to as "he" despite being female -- is now owned by Peter Oram, the garden center's owner, Martin said. Oram's father-in-law sold Churchill the bird and …7…to take it back after the prime minister died in 1965.

Steve Nichols, founder of Britain's National Parrot Sanctuary, said that …8…parrots did not …9…live longer than 40 in the wild, some had lived to up to 110.

Athens

Greece is a very exciting but…1… place to visit. In fact it was one of the first things I noticed - how laid-back Greeks can be.

When in Athens, we stayed at the Plaka Hotel, which, as the name indicates, is in the Plaka area of Athens. The Plaka is a labyrinth of white streets full of markets, shops, people, tavernas, cafes and more people. …2…places of …3…in Athens can be found in and around the Plaka vicinity. Here you can also enjoy a great view of the Acropolis both day and night.

The entrance to the Acropolis is only 20 minutes walk from the Plaka. It's best to get there early…4…, before crowds swarm the area. Most of the Acropolis has taken a beating from the weather of the centuries and most of it has been covered by scaffold for some years. It seems …5…it is under constant renovation. Unfortunately, many of the artifacts around the complex …6…or moved to museums, being replaced by replicas.

It was fascinating to view the changing of the Guards at Parliament House, which…7… came from Macedonia. Tall, thick-set men dressed in pleated skirt-like costumes and shoes …8…resemble pom-pom adorned clogs. A must see!
Monastriaki is one of Athen's markets districts,…9… it has an Eastern feel with street vendors, pavement stalls, shouting and bargaining etc.

Another interesting observation, was the pockets of ancient ruins (rubble) scattered around the Plaka area.

My recommendation is that you would not really need …10…three full days in Athens to see everything - get yourself to the Greek Islands!

Cat

A Norse legend tells of the chariot of Freya, the witch, which was pulled by black cats that became black horses. They were exceedingly swift and surely possessed by the Devil. After serving Freya …1…seven years, the cats were rewarded by …2…into witches, disguised as black cats. This seems …3…to the belief in the Middle Ages that black cats were familiars of witches, and after seven years, became witches…4…. They believed if a black cat crossed your path, Satan was taking notice of you.

A black cat is lucky or unlucky, depending on …5…you live.

Cats were sacred to the goddess, Isis, in Egyptian mythology.

Bast or Pasht, the daughter of Isis, was represented with the face of a cat. …6…who killed a cat was put to death.

Archaeologists in Egypt found cat cemeteries from which a shipment of embalmed cats …7…to England. In Egypt it was believed that a black cat crossing one's path brought good luck.

In East Anglia, England, they used to mummify cats and place them in the walls of their homes to ward off evil spirits.

If a black cat walks …8…you, it brings good fortune, but if it walks away, it …9…the good luck with it.

Keep cats away from babies because they "suck the breath" of the child.

The age of conversion

The Viking Age was a period of considerable religious change in Scandinavia. Part of the popular image of the Vikings …1…they were all pagans, with a hatred of the Christian Church, but this view is very misleading. It is true that …2…the entire population of Scandinavia was pagan at the beginning of the Viking Age, but the Vikings had many gods, and it was no problem for them …3…the Christian god alongside their own. Most scholars today believe that Viking attacks on Christian churches had nothing to do with religion, but …4…to do with the fact that monasteries were typically …5…wealthy and poorly defended, making them an easy target for plunder.

The Vikings came into contact with Christianity …6…their raids, and when they settled in lands with a Christian population, they adopted Christianity quite quickly. This was true in Normandy, Ireland, and throughout the British Isles. …7…contemporary accounts say little about this, we can see it in the archaeological evidence. Pagans buried their dead with grave goods, but Christians normally didn't, and this makes it relatively easy to spot the change in religion.

As well as conversion abroad, the Viking Age also saw a …8…conversion in Scandinavia itself, as Anglo-Saxon and German missionaries arrived to convert the pagans. By the mid-11th century, Christianity was well established in Denmark and most of Norway. Although there was a temporary conversion in Sweden in the early 11th century, …9…until the mid-12th century that Christianity became established there. As part of the process of conversion the Christians took over traditional pagan sites. A good example of this can be seen at Gamle Uppsala in Sweden, where the remains of an early church …10…alongside a series of huge pagan burial mounds.

Summer Feeders
For …1….reason, people seem to think that the only time to feed birds in the backyard is in fall and winter. The truth is, birds can be enjoyed at feeders the year around, and feeding birds in summer …2…be even more rewarding than at any other time of the year.
First, we must understand why …3…birds. It is not to help the birds, …4…they can survive very well without any help …5…us. A study of Black-capped Chickadees in Wisconsin in winter showed that the birds obtained only 25 percent of their daily diet from feeders, even when feeder food …6…readily available. Birds are not dependent on us for food, and the only reason to feed them is for our own enjoyment.
Summer feeding of birds gives us even more enjoyment, because the birds are in their breeding plumage, they…7… by their youngsters, and there are species …8…feeders in summer that are not present in winter. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in the East and Black-headed Grosbeaks in the West are good examples. There are hummingbirds and orioles, …9…to sugar water throughout the continent in summer, which are not present in winter. Bluebirds and American Robins, and some woodpeckers and sparrows, are all common feeder birds in summer that are in warmer climates in winter.

Coney Island and Simple Pleasures

I am originally from Brooklyn, New York and I have many memories when I was growing up there. I remember going to Coney Island and …1…hot dogs and fries in a cone. There was never …2…hot dog than Coney Island.It took …3…years for Nathan's hot dogs to finally make their ways into the American grocery stores. Now, it's like tasting an …4…youthful meal. At Coney Island, they had an amusement park called Steeplechase. I remember that I thought the rides there were the scariest there ever were. They had the one price for a day’s fun with the "hole punching" necklace. They counted your rides by a countdown system and the "no lose" necklace. I remember going to the movies with 50 cents and …5…enter the double feature plus cartoons and have …6..money left for popcorn, a soda AND a candybar. It seemed like lot of money in those days!! I can remember driving for hours …7…to see the beach and go swimming. When we moved to California, I was amazed to see the beach so close to our house. Saturday afternoons were sometimes spent in an indoor skating rink. I remember spending the …8…day there and not complain that there was "nothing to do". Transportation was so different growing up in the city. It was a daily thing for a kid to take the bus alone or go somewhere on the train. Nowadays, it's too dangerous. Life sure did seem …9…easier when I was growing up. Now nothing seems …10…kids.!!!
