I.T. Blog Browsing the Internet
Happy New Year! Hopefully your computers have functioned stoically over the holiday period and your systems have been running trouble free. In all likelihood that old PC is running a bit slower than it should and all of the information flying around about what you should & shouldn’t do on the Internet is leaving you, at best, confused! Hopefully we can use our monthly blog to help you get over that & dispel some of the popular myths surrounding your PC & the internet. On occasion it might even be entertaining! For January we are focusing on Web Browsers and which ones you should or shouldn’t use. Most people will immediately think of one of 3 browsers if you start talking about the Internet - Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, with Safari and Opera occasionally getting a look-in. Now there are alternatives but we don’t come across them often, so I won’t mention them. Essentially, any of these browsers are absolutely fine & from a security perspective there is very little to choose between them, and we have stats to back that up. One thing you must remember to do is keep the browser up-to-date with the latest patches & also to update any plug-ins that you have e.g. Java, Flashplayer, Shockwave. As long as you do this, then use whichever of these browsers you like the best, even if it’s just because it looks pretty! Check out our website for a lot more information.

The Clavie 11th January 2011 Why 11th January? This is the date of the Burning of the Clavie, a fire festival unique to Burghead, which greets the New Year, first recorded in records of the Presbytery of Elgin 1655. Banned by the Church in the 17th18th centuries as idolatrous, the earlier history behind this fire festival is unrecorded. Such ceremonies may have pagan origins, and at Burghead could date back to the pre-Christian Pictish occupation. The significance of the 11th January dates back to the 1750’s, when the Julian calendar was reformed in Britain and the new Gregorian calendar was introduced. People rioted demanding back their 11 days but not in Burghead. Brochers decided to have the best of both worlds, by celebrating New Year twice on 1st January and 11th January. Now every 11th January the flaming Clavie (a barrel full of staves) is carried round the town by the Clavie Crew followed by a large crowd. Certain favoured residents along the route have a lucky burning ember delivered to their door. The final destination of the Clavie is the Doorie Hill on the ramparts of the ancient fort, where it is firmly wedged. After refueling several times, it is allowed to burn out and fall down the hill, when still smoldering embers are eagerly gathered.
Possession of a piece of the Clavie is said to bring good luck for the coming year and pieces are sent round the world to exiled ‘Brochers’. The Burning of the Clavie dates much further back
page 4 - January 2011
than the 1750’s, of course. Before the coming of Christianity, the priests of the day were the Druids, the men of wisdom and learning. The common people held them in
superstitious reverence. Many were the strange rites performed at their hands, many the sacrifices they demanded. Their chief instrument of ceremonial was fire. It was the great purifier. Shaw, the 18th century historian of the Province of Moray recounts a Druid rite, which was enacted when a disease broke out amongst the cattle. The fires in the houses around were extinguished. Sparks were ‘forced’ by rubbing pieces of wood together, and from these, bunches of juniper were lit, to be burned in the stalls of the cattle. The smoldering branches were carried in a basket (Gaelic word ‘cliabh’ pronounced cleeav) among the cattle in order to combat infection. When this had been done, the flaming juniper was carried round the houses in the vicinity, to rekindle the fires on their hearths. From such a custom is surely derived the Burning of the Clavie. On that anniversary night of pagan ceremonial, Burghead reverts to the mood of primitive times, reenacting some form of fire worship many centuries have not forgotten.

So it’s back to normality after the Christmas and New Year celebrations! How are you feeling now that the festive hype has passed? For some people it’s a welcome return to the usual routine of life. Maybe that’s your experience; you’re quite glad to take down the cards, pack away the decorations and put them in the loft until next year. However for others, if Christmas and New Year is a real time of joy and happiness, it can be a struggle to say goodbye to the holiday period and hello to the regular pattern of life again. Maybe some of you are struggling to get back into the normal routine because you know that you have to face up to your difficult financial position. Perhaps in the last year you’ve lost your job or have struggled to cover your regular outgoings. The Christmas break has maybe taken the focus temporarily away from your problems. But as January comes and normality resumes again, the reality of your situation remains the same. For a lot of people, the Christmas spending begins to bite as the bank statements or credit card bills come tumbling through your letterbox. You might even have taken out an extra loan to cover the cost of the festive season, potentially adding to existing debts. And so a tight financial position becomes even tougher.

If this is you & you’re really struggling to meet the costs of everyday life or have debt which is spiralling out of control then what can you do? Firstly, don’t think you are alone! One effect of being in debt is that you can feel very isolated. However, a recent survey by Credit Action found that during December Citizens Advice dealt with 9,389 new debt problems every working day. Secondly, be assured that there is help at hand! There are a range of services available to help those struggling to make ends meet or repay personal debt. It is often hard to take that first step and admit your need of help. But as hard as it is, this step is crucial to begin getting your finances back on the right track One such resource for those living in the Inverness area is the CAP Debt Counselling Centre. This initiative has come about through the local church partnering with award winning charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to offer a face-toface, comprehensive solution to those struggling in debt. Through a combination of budgeting advice, creditor liaison and personal support, CAP empowers people to work themselves out of debt and transform their finances. You might ask, why would churches want to get involved in helping people in the whole area of finance?

Simply because we believe that God cares for everyone and that each aspect of our lives is important to him. A common description of God is found in Psalm 86: But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. So we want to reflect this love by providing a very practical resource to those in our community struggling with debt. CAP’s services are completely free of charge and are available to everyone regardless of your belief or background. So hopefully, whatever your situation is as we begin this New Year, you will be able to look ahead to the coming year with confidence. For those facing financial issues, may you know that help is at hand, and through resources such as CAP that you need not feel alone or isolated. Instead be assured that there are people who care about your situation. Above all, be encouraged that the Lord is indeed a compassionate and gracious God who cares deeply for you.

Butter all the bread leaving the crusts on. Take a pyrex oven dish and butter the sides. Place the bead in the dish sprinkling the dried fuit between the layers. On the top layer sprinkle the lemon zest. In a sauce pan mix together 600ml of cream, egg yolks and sugar. Whisk and make a custard.

Further extraCts From the DraFt minutes oF the meeting oF 4th oCtoBer 2010 oF inverness City Committee
CS Provision in Inverness High School (ILC) • there had been circulated report no. iCC-35-10 dated 16 september 2010 by the acting area education, Culture and sport manager setting out the range and quality of provision delivered by the education, Culture and sport service in the inverness high school integrated Learning Community (iLC). the acting area education, Culture and sport manager summarised the report commenting specifically on the early years and Primary Provision in the iLC. he asked members to note that: the number of children attending nursery classes within the iLC remained healthy; Care Commission reports for all the nursery centres rated the staffing and support quality either good or very good; all the primary schools were making good progress towards full implementation of a Curriculum for excellence; schools were working on a much broader range of learning experiences with a strong focus on achievement; and attainment was a challenge for the area but strong partnership links were being made with outside organisations to help support parents and carers and to identify the specific needs of individuals. he also noted the pending retirement of two long-serving head teachers in Dalneigh and merkinch Primaries, along with the need to ensure that the schools were supported in the forthcoming months. •mr r Cunningham, rector of inverness high school (his), highlighted some of the key elements that contributed to providing ihs pupils with a well rounded and varied education, including: a wide range of extra curricular activities; the development of young people’s leadership skills; eco school recognition; a range of vocational courses in partnership with inverness College and local businesses; and regular feedback to parents by way of a fortnightly newsletter. page 14 - January 2011
he further commented that, although the school’s achievement in examinations was below the national average, it was in line with that of other comparator schools with young people from similar backgrounds. the ihs pupils enjoyed learning and had a good sense of citizenship, showing respect to other pupils and teachers. the rector’s main concerns for the school in the future were resource-related, namely: the impact of pupils not having enough access to it provision; and repairs required to the school’s windows, heating and games hall roof. • the senior Learning and Leisure officer, inBands, summarised the main points arising from the provision of Leisure and Learning facilities in the iLC highlighting the fact that, since the introduction of the Council’s high Life access scheme, facility use had increased by 80%. • members thanked officers for the report and comments and commended the hard work being carried out at the high school. they also commented on: the excellent work carried out by the feeder primary schools; the support provided to the school by parents; the need for more green open space play areas in the Dalneigh area; the need for improved lunch facilities for children in Central Primary school; and the positive impact of teaching young people to be leaders and good citizens. • officers also noted members’ requests for information relating to specific issues in the iLC which would be provided for members at Ward level, including: inverness high school refuser statistics over the last 3 years; a breakdown of all classes held in the merkinch Community Centre, James Cameron Community Centre and Cameron youth Centre; the range of national comparator schools for inverness high school; the regular maintenance spend on the northern meeting Park; and the resource implications of extending the opening hours of tel: 01309 690063

“ Parliament Blog ” I think it is rare for MPs not to be secretly flattered when they find themselves the butt of cartoonists’ jokes - even though these images can be the most lasting and ultimately the most damaging to political careers.
sionally, but the red-heads are a minority not to be riled. Poor Harriet Harman cannot have known what she was unleashing with a throw-away remark about red squirrels ‘and other ginger rodents’. I can remember little else about Labour’s recent conference, so dominant did the ensuing controversy become.
Perhaps I am lucky that my red hair seems to hold the attention of most of the caricaturists. Better that than John Major’s grey complexion or Tony Blair’s mad, staring eye. At least my ‘ginger thatch’ is something which I hold in common with many others here in the Highlands and elsewhere. Ginger solidarity only manifests itself very occa-
I was happy to accept Ms Harman’s apology - and I would welcome her back to the Highlands to pursue her squirrel interest any time. I am not certain that her Scottish Labour colleagues will forgive her so fast…
page 16 - January 2011
On a more serious note, I wish all Spotlight readers a very Happy New Year. Dann y Alexander MP
The Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999 by my mother Winnie, so we are now as an institution not yet in our teenage years! So it is early to claim that we have “traditions” such as in Westminster where each MP has a place to hang his sword! Or wear a top hat in order to make a point of order. But one incipient tradition in the Scottish Parliament is that we welcome children and school parties and every MSP frequently speaks to school parties in our education room and we do our best to answer questions. Indeed most schools prepare their pupils before the visit with basic facts about our Parliament. Most children are very interested, keen to learn and ready with their questions which are often more difficult than those of adults, such as “what have you achieved today?” or “why do politician’s argue so much?”
My wife Margaret was MP for Moray from 1987 until she passed away in 2006. She was once asked by a young lad from her patch “what does your husband do for ironing his shirts when you are away in London?” I think she explained that yours truly was perfectly capable of using the iron himself!! Male chauvinism is still with us! Another newer tradition is the work on committees which sees us discuss issues in a detailed fashion and without so much partisan party politics. These are the engine rooms of the Parliament - not regularly inspected by the public – but where much of the real work is done. Should any Spotlight reader wish to come to see the Parliament and witness our First Ministers Question Time or indeed committee work then we are always open to the public – accessible – and perhaps that is the most important tradition to have!
