The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read David Stevenson's article "James Anderson: Man & Mason" about James Anderson, one of the masons who helped assemble the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723.This article was first published in the Heredom Volume 10, 2002, a research journal put out by the Scottish Rite. For many years, Doctor James Anderson has been accused of many negative reasons for helping to put together what we now know as the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723 & 1738.There is a lot that was going on during that time in and around England. England, Scotland, and Ireland were all fighting against each other, so why did these London Masons choose a short, red-headed Scotsman to help put together one of the most important Masonic documents ever published?The origins of this mysterious Masonic document have been actively researched and analyzed, critiqued, and ignored since it first appeared in 1723, and we still do not fully understand why it was produced in the first place.Brother David Stevenson is the author of both "The Origins of Freemasonry, Scotland's Century 1590-1710" and "The First Freemasons - Scotland's Early Lodges and Their Members 1988.Let us keep exploring the mysterious origins of Masonry and Freemasonry with ruthless abandon.Follow me on:Instagram @masonicmuscleTikTok @masonicmsucle357Write me at masonicmsucle357@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions for research on the enigmatic and mysterious origins of freemasonry.

In 1914, war engulfed Europe in a conflict that killed millions and change the course of the twentieth century. Now, 110 years later, the geopolitical climate feels uncomfortably familiar to the period preceding the First World War.

Fesshole: The Podcast

Hello, potential listeners! It's Rob Manuel here, the creator of Fesshole, and co-host of this brand new podcast.  Right, now is the time to reveal a little more by giving you a trailer that isn't just me and David Stevenson pretending to be aliens in an imaginary episode of Star Trek.   So this trailer does sensible things like tell you the show is coming in multiple formats including: the week in review; interview episodes; talk to the fessors; and even a game show one. And we've included very, very tiny clips so you can hear we're not bullshitting and have actually recorded stuff.  It's not just some confidence trick to see if we can make a podcast that doesn't exist chart in some KLF made out of sellotape stunt. However by showing you our ankles you can now think "but I preferred imagining your ankles, that was sexier" but this is the nature of media projects, at some point you have to get off the toilet and show people the turd you've pooped out asking "do you reckon this will flush? Should we see a doctor?" That's how it works at the News At Ten with Trevor McDonald, and that's how it works for us. Wait, you're bothering to read this coz you like confessions and you don't just want silly waffle.  OK, here's some fesses we rejected this week as bonus content not available elsewhere: "When I feel dejected I like to eat a tub worth of vaseline" "I was struggling for inspiration for a name for my unborn son. I found that inspiration from my local newspaper's  'crimewatch' section" "Friend's Nan rang up all mithered, she said there was a paedophile in her pantry & asked if someone could come and remove it. Rather pleased to find it was a centipede and not in-fact a paedophile" (Rejected that last one not coz it's not funny, it is, but was slightly worried it was nicked off a video that did the rounds a few years back. See we have standards.) Anyway, enjoy the trailer proper - toodle-pip, and lots of love from your admin Roberto Manuel who believes in you and your ability to subscribe to this podcast.

David Stevenson, co-manager of the WS Amati UK Listed Smaller Companies fund, discusses the current market dynamics and the outlook for UK smaller companies, despite a challenging two-year period marked by receding investor appetite and outflows from small-cap funds. David argues now is a unique entry point for UK smaller company investing, buoyed by recent improvements in relative performance and the potential benefits of lower interest rates. We also cover the surge in M&A activity and share buybacks, underscoring the attractiveness of UK companies for both domestic and international investors.What's covered in this episode: How have UK companies fared of late?How do interest rates impact smaller companies?Why now is an attractive time for investorsHow prevalent has M&A Activity been?The rise of share buybacks in the UKGetting the domestic investor back into UK equitiesTwo exciting funds today: Alpha Group and TrainlineAre their concerns over liquidity in the fund?Should investors be optimistic on the UK?More about the fund: An unconstrained portfolio, seeking structural UK growth businesses that can grow faster than the economy, this fund is managed by a highly experienced team of small cap specialists. The portfolio of 65-70 companies focuses on structural growth businesses, which the managers' believe can add value in the under-researched small and mid-cap part of the market.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

But the dial on who participates and how much has not shifted, despite many thousands of projects trying to address the problem. And this isn't even the punchline. Not only do the interventions not work, nobody involved in them admits that the interventions may have been a failure.

In this episode of Environment & Climate News, we dive into the controversial topic of offshore wind power and its potential negative impact on the environment and economy. We explore the violation of the Endangered Species Act through the construction of wind turbines in the critical habitat of the North Atlantic Right Whale, which could threaten its survival, and the potential loss of the domestic seafood supply due to the disruption of the commercial fishing industry.We also examine the high costs and minimal reduction of carbon dioxide emissions associated with this renewable energy source, raising the question of whether offshore wind power is a sustainable solution for our energy needs.

For King and Country: The British Monarchy and the First World War (Cambridge UP, 2021) is a ground-breaking history of the British monarchy in the First World War and of the social and cultural functions of monarchism in the British war effort. Heather Jones examines how the conflict changed British cultural attitudes to the monarchy, arguing that the conflict ultimately helped to consolidate the crown's sacralised status. She looks at how the monarchy engaged with war recruitment, bereavement, gender norms, as well as at its political and military powers and its relationship with Ireland and the empire. She considers the role that monarchism played in military culture and examines royal visits to the front, as well as the monarchy's role in home front morale and in interwar war commemoration. Her findings suggest that the rise of republicanism in wartime Britain has been overestimated and that war commemoration was central to the monarchy's revered interwar status up to the abdication crisis. In short, this is very much the work that master-historian David Stevenson accurately notes: "sheds new light on crucial aspects of the British (and Irish) experience between 1914 and 1918". In short, For King and Country is a must read book. Charles Coutinho Ph. D. of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University.
