Etymologically, Abercorn is a Cumbric place-name meaning 'mouth of the river Cornie'. The name of the river itself is also Cumbric and seems to derive from *kernan 'mound, hill' and so to be named after the hill on which Abercorn stands.
The English monk and historian Bede mentions Abercorn as the site of a monastery and seat of Bishop Trumwine who was the only bishop of the Northumbrian see of the Picts. The monastery is now known to have existed close to the present day church. The church itself dates partially from the 12th century, although its most interesting features are the private aisles created for the three major families of the area, the Dalyells, the Hamiltons, and later the Hopes, who had their own enclosure behind the altar built by architect William Bruce. The Hope mausoleum, designed by William Burn, is located in the kirkyard. Older burial monuments include Norsemen "hogback" stones, and fragments of 7th century Northumbrian crosses.
A diocese, from the Greek term διοίκησις, meaning "administration", is the district under the supervision of a bishop. A diocese is divided into parishes (in the Church of England into benefices and parishes). This structure of church governance is known as episcopal polity. The word diocesan means relating or pertaining to a diocese. It can also be used as a noun meaning the bishop who has the principal supervision of a diocese.
A diocese also may be referred to as a bishopric or episcopal see, though strictly the term episcopal see refers to the domain of ecclesiastical authority officially held by the bishop, and the term bishopric to the post of being bishop.
An archdiocese (or archiepiscopal see or archbishopric) is more significant than a diocese. An archdiocese is presided over by an archbishop whose see may have or have had importance due to size or historical significance. The archbishop may have metropolitan authority over any other suffragan bishops and their dioceses within his ecclesiastical province.
Mbala is Zambia’s most northerly large town and seat of Mbala District, occupying a strategic location close to the border with Tanzania and controlling the southern approaches to Lake Tanganyika, 40 km by road to the north-west, where the port of Mpulungu is located. It had a population of about 20,000 in 2006. Under the name Abercorn, Mbala was a key outpost in British colonial control of this part of south-central Africa. It is headquarters of an administrative district of the Northern Province.
History
A number of archaeological sites in the area (such as at Kalambo Falls) provides a record of human activity in the Mbala area over the past 300,000 years.
Before colonial times, Mbala was the village of Chief Zombe on the Lucheche River. It became the focus of British interest as a result of travels by the explorer David Livingstone, the first European to visit the area, in the 1860s. He was followed some years later by Verney Lovett Cameron who surveyed Lake Tanganyika. Livingstone inspired missionaries of the London Missionary Society to come in the 1880s to Niamkolo on the lake and Fwambo and Kawimbe on the plateau. These missions had links to the African Lakes Company which later set up in Mbala and Mpulungu. The area was ravaged by the slave trade during much of the 19th Century, and the African Lakes Company devoted some efforts to trying to stamp it out. This activity drew in the representative of the British Government in the region, Harry Johnston in Nyasaland, and decisions were taken to strengthen the imperial presence south of the lake and prevent other colonial powers establishing a foothold there.
Edinburgh, the country's capital and second-largest city, was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual, and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third-largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.
Burnside Avenue is a main thoroughfare connecting East Hartford, Connecticut's Main Street to Manchester, Connecticut. The road is part of U.S. Route 44. It runs through a low income portion of East Hartford and is home to a significant population of Hispanics and African Americans. East Hartford Middle school is located near the center of the avenue and is next to the main campus of Goodwin College. The eastern portion of Burnside Avenue has little housing, but is significantly developed with strip malls and restaurants. The Avenue is home to two important parks in East Hartford. Martin Park in the west has a swimming pool and a skating park along with access to many of East Hartford's bike trails. The east of the avenue has an entrance to Wickham Park, a large private park containing an aviary, bike trails, hiking trails, picnic grounds, and a view of Hartford's skyline.
Before the turn of the 20th century, Burnside was colloquially considered a separate village from the rest of East Hartford. Its rough terrain and proximity to the Hockanum river led to early artifice, so that even before the industrial revolution, it was dominated by paper mills. By 1900, Burnside was developing as a streetcar suburb. Its development prior to Pratt and Whitney (1929) explains its high density relative to the post-war housing so prevalent in the remainder of the town.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 18.7square miles (48.3km²), of which, 18.6square miles (48.2km²) of it is land and 0.1square miles (0.1km²) of it (0.27%) is water. It was incorporated in 1857.
History
In 1700 Isaac Magoon purchased 1,950 acres (7.9km2) of land from then Windham and thus began Scotland’s History. He named the town Scotland as a way of commemorating his ancestral home. Scotland was incorporated in May 1857.
Government
The town still maintains the town meeting as its form of government with a board of selectmen. The town also has eight boards & commissions, including Inlands & Wetlands, Planning & Zoning and Board of Education.
Attractions
Scotland is home to the D'Elia Antique Tool Museum. The museum was built in 2005 and is housed in the same building as the Scotland Public Library. It is the home of over 1200 antique woodworking planes dating back to the mid-18th century. Another attraction is the Samuel Huntington house which located on Huntington Rd or Route 14

THE LEGEND OF THE PINEAPPLE
Homily for Wednesday of the 1st Wk of Lent,
01 Mar 2023, Lk 11:29-32
Once there was a little boy who pestered his mother each time he needed something and was too lazy to look for it himself. “Mom, where are my shoes?” “Mom, can you find my school bag?” “Mom, where are the crayons that I bought yesterday? I need them for my project.”
The mother got so tired of her son’s laziness, she forgot that an enchanted woman had earlier granted her the power of casting an irreversible spell on people through her words, whether in the form of a blessing or a curse. She said to her son, “May you grow a hundred eyes around your body so that you will not need to pester me each time you’re looking for something.”
The boy disappeared after that and the mother realized that her words may have come true. The following day, she came down to the garden and found among her vegetables a pineapple plant with a ripe fruit on it. When she harvested the fruit, she peeled off its skin with a knife, only to find a hundred little dots that looked like eyes peering at her.
Today’s Gospel reminds me of that myth. Jesus is lamenting about the present generation. He says in Luke 11:29, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” All they needed to do was to look at Jesus and the works that he was doing. As he prophet Ezekiel once lamented about the people of Judah in Ezek 12:2 “…they have eyes to see, but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear. They are such a rebellious house!”
There is another passage where Jesus said something in reply to the disciples whom John the Baptist had sent to ask if Jesus was indeed the one who was to come or if John had made a mistake, so that he could look for another. Jesus’ answer in that passage was actually meant, not for John but for John’s disciples. He said, “Go and tell John what YOU HEAR and WHAT YOU SEE.” (Lk 7:22)
It was Jesus’ way of telling them that he would understand why John would ask such a question. Having been in prison for some time, he had not had the opportunity to witness the works of Jesus, namely, “the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk, the dead are raised to life, the lepers are cleansed and the poor have the good news preached to them.” (Lk 7:22)
These disciples had seen and heard the things that Jesus was doing. Did they ever report these to John? No. What they reported instead were intrigues about Jesus eating and drinking with tax-collectors and sinners. (Lk 7:24) It’s like they looked at a doughnut and saw only the hole in the middle.
And what did Jesus mean when he said “no sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah?” (Lk 11:29) Jonah did not even give any sign. In fact he even rushed up his proclamation because he preferred to see them remain stubborn so that God’s punishment would fall upon them. But to his great surprise, the people of Nineveh took his word, believed his message, fasted and repented of their sins, and God forgave them. (Jonah 3)
When we fail to see something that is already right there before our eyes, we have a saying in Tagalog that goes, “Kung ahas lang iyan, natuklaw ka na.” (If that were a snake before you, you would have been bitten already.)
Today, let our prayer come from that famous line in Psalm 95: “Today if you hear the voice of the Lord, harden not your hearts.”

Grangemouth was founded by Sir Lawrence Dundas in 1768 as a result of the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Originally referred to as Sealock by workers brought in to labour on the canal digging and lock constructions, the name referred to the Forth and Clyde Canal connection to the sea and where it flowed into the River Forth. This township name was never approved by the founders. The settlement was also named Grangeburnmouth for a period and then finally to Grangemouth. As canal and general shipping traffic came to the town the area became more prosperous. This was aided by the high tariffs at the port of Leith in Edinburgh, which caused more traffic to pass through Grangemouth instead.
Cocteau Twins was a Scottish dream pop band active from 1979 to 1997. They were formed in Grangemouth by Robin Guthrie on guitars and drum machine and Will Heggie on bass, adding Elizabeth Fraser on vocals in 1981 and replacing Heggie with multi-instrumentalist Simon Raymonde in 1983. The group earned critical praise for their ethereal, effects[disambiguation needed]-laden sound and the soprano vocals of Fraser, whose lyrics often abandon recognisable language. They pioneered the 1980s alternative rock subgenre of dream pop.

Two Steps from Hell - Empire of Angels
THE LEGEND OF THE PINEAPPLE
Homily for Wednesday of the 1st Wk of Lent,
01 Mar 2023, Lk 11:29-32
Once there was a little boy who pestered his mother each time he needed something and was too lazy to look for it himself. “Mom, where are my shoes?” “Mom, can you find my school bag?” “Mom, where are the crayons that I bought yesterday? I need them for my project.”
The mother got so tired of her son’s laziness, she forgot that an enchanted woman had earlier granted her the power of casting an irreversible spell on people through her words, whether in the form of a blessing or a curse. She said to her son, “May you grow a hundred eyes around your body so that you will not need to pester me each time you’re looking for something.”
The boy disappeared after that and the mother realized that her words may have come true. The following day, she came down to the garden and found among her vegetables a pineapple plant with a ripe fruit on it. When she harvested the fruit, she peeled off its skin with a knife, only to find a hundred little dots that looked like eyes peering at her.
Today’s Gospel reminds me of that myth. Jesus is lamenting about the present generation. He says in Luke 11:29, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” All they needed to do was to look at Jesus and the works that he was doing. As he prophet Ezekiel once lamented about the people of Judah in Ezek 12:2 “…they have eyes to see, but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear. They are such a rebellious house!”
There is another passage where Jesus said something in reply to the disciples whom John the Baptist had sent to ask if Jesus was indeed the one who was to come or if John had made a mistake, so that he could look for another. Jesus’ answer in that passage was actually meant, not for John but for John’s disciples. He said, “Go and tell John what YOU HEAR and WHAT YOU SEE.” (Lk 7:22)
It was Jesus’ way of telling them that he would understand why John would ask such a question. Having been in prison for some time, he had not had the opportunity to witness the works of Jesus, namely, “the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk, the dead are raised to life, the lepers are cleansed and the poor have the good news preached to them.” (Lk 7:22)
These disciples had seen and heard the things that Jesus was doing. Did they ever report these to John? No. What they reported instead were intrigues about Jesus eating and drinking with tax-collectors and sinners. (Lk 7:24) It’s like they looked at a doughnut and saw only the hole in the middle.
And what did Jesus mean when he said “no sign will be given them but the sign of Jonah?” (Lk 11:29) Jonah did not even give any sign. In fact he even rushed up his proclamation because he preferred to see them remain stubborn so that God’s punishment would fall upon them. But to his great surprise, the people of Nineveh took his word, believed his message, fasted and repented of their sins, and God forgave them. (Jonah 3)
When we fail to see something that is already right there before our eyes, we have a saying in Tagalog that goes, “Kung ahas lang iyan, natuklaw ka na.” (If that were a snake before you, you would have been bitten already.)
Today, let our prayer come from that famous line in Psalm 95: “Today if you hear the voice of the Lord, harden not your hearts.”

Etymologically, Abercorn is a Cumbric place-name meaning 'mouth of the river Cornie'. The name of the river itself is also Cumbric and seems to derive from *kernan 'mound, hill' and so to be named after the hill on which Abercorn stands.
The English monk and historian Bede mentions Abercorn as the site of a monastery and seat of Bishop Trumwine who was the only bishop of the Northumbrian see of the Picts. The monastery is now known to have existed close to the present day church. The church itself dates partially from the 12th century, although its most interesting features are the private aisles created for the three major families of the area, the Dalyells, the Hamiltons, and later the Hopes, who had their own enclosure behind the altar built by architect William Bruce. The Hope mausoleum, designed by William Burn, is located in the kirkyard. Older burial monuments include Norsemen "hogback" stones, and fragments of 7th century Northumbrian crosses.

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of an April road trip drive, with Scottish music, West on the A904 road on visit to Grangemouth, Scots: Grangemooth; Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Ghrainnse, a town in the Falkirk council area. Originally a bustling port, trade flowed through the town with the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal in the 18th century. Nowadays, the economy of Grangemouth is focused primarily on the large petrochemical industry of the area which includes the oil refinery, owned by Ineos, one of the largest of its kind in Europe. The town is twinned with La Porte, Indiana, America. Residents of the town are known as Portonians. Grangemouth was founded by Sir Lawrence Dundas in 1768 as a result of the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Originally referred to as Sealock by workers brought in to labour on the canal digging and lock constructions, the name referred to the Forth and Clyde Canal connection to the sea and where it flowed into the River Forth. This township name was never approved by the founders. The settlement was also named Grangeburnmouth for a period and then finally to Grangemouth. As canal and general shipping traffic came to the town the area became more prosperous. This was aided by the high tariffs at the port of Leith in Edinburgh, which caused more traffic to pass through Grangemouth instead.
Cocteau Twins was a Scottish dream pop band active from 1979 to 1997. They were formed in Grangemouth by Robin Guthrie on guitars and drum machine and Will Heggie on bass, adding Elizabeth Fraser on vocals in 1981 and replacing Heggie with multi-instrumentalist Simon Raymonde in 1983. The group earned critical praise for their ethereal, effects[disambiguation needed]-laden sound and the soprano vocals of Fraser, whose lyrics often abandon recognisable language. They pioneered the 1980s alternative rock subgenre of dream pop.
