30 October 2019
Scotland’s leading historian, Professor Sir Tom Devine, will deliver the inaugural Thomas Muir Lecture to celebrate the life and work of the man known as the father of Scottish democracy.
The first Glasgow Thomas Muir lecture on democracy and civil society will take place at the University of Glasgow on 31 October and is a sold-out event.
The lecture series is named after the 18th century radical ‘martyr’ Thomas Muir of Huntershill who was a champion of political reform was, freedom of speech and voting rights for all. The reform activities of the former University of Glasgow student led his trial for sedition and exile to Australia.
In his talk, 'Foundations of Elite Supremacy in 18th-Century Scotland', Professor Devine will take a fresh approach to Muir and 1790s reformers, exploring why a corrupt and unrepresentative system of government not only survived Muir's lifetime but managed to endure for many years after.
Professor Sir Tom Devine said: “It is a personal honour for me to be invited to present the inaugural Thomas Muir Lecture at the University of Glasgow.
“Muir is a figure in the history of Scotland whom I have long admired for his personal courage, deep sense of principal and unyielding fortitude in the face of adversity.
“The politicians of today would do well to reflect on his life and his qualities both as a man and a reformer.”
The lecture series is a collaboration with the Friends of Thomas Muir Society and the University’s Centre for Robert Burns Studies (CRBS), who have a research interest in Scottish Radicalism.
Professor Gerard Carruthers, the University’s Francis Hutcheson Chair of Scottish Literature and CRBS Director, who is an expert on Thomas Muir, said: “Muir deserves his celebrated place as an apostle of democracy. But I'd suggest that democracy and openness to different opinions is what Muir should best be remembered for.”
The inaugural lecture is taking part at the University as part of the 2019 Thomas Muir Festival.

Twin Undersink Alkalising Filter System
What is an Alkaline Water Filter ? Alkaline filters replace healthy minerals back into the water prior to drinking it. It also turns acidic water into alkaline water, creating the perfect pH balance for your body by raising the pH to a range between 8.5 – 9.0. It enhances the waters structure and energetic properties for better hydration, a healthy immune system and general health and wellbeing.
How the system works -The Cooee Water Twin & Alkaline Undersink Filter System is neatly plumbed via your mains supply underneath the sink. The water is fed through the twin filters (Pre sediment filter and PB1 0.5 micron Carbon filter cartridge), removing the harmful chlorine, chemicals and contaminants.
The Pi-Alkaline filter is on the final tubing line so it adds in the beneficial minerals, including Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium and trace minerals as well as increasing the alkalinity of your water.
The water then dispenses from the chrome ceramic disc faucet (lead free interior) on top of your benchtop to give you an endless supply of filtered Alkalised water.

IN CONVERSATION: SHADRACK KIMEU, TWIGA TEAM SUPERVISOR
To celebrate World Ranger Day 2023, we spoke with Born Free’s Twiga Team Supervisor, Shadrack Kimeu.
The Twiga Team is dedicated to securing the habitat and protecting the wild animals of Meru National Park, Kenya. The team conducts daily patrols into the bush to remove indiscriminate snares – set illegally by poachers – from harming an individual animal and to halt illegal activity within the protected area. Shadrack Kimeu leads this inspirational team of passionate and committed conservationists. His story, from poacher to leader in the conservation of wildlife in Meru, is truly inspiring.
Why did you become a conservationist?
I was raised in Machakos County, Kenya, adjacent to a wildlife corridor to the south of Nairobi National Park. Being a reformed poacher myself, I met Born Free in my village in 2004, where they were making a film about illegal bushmeat by the name Mizoga (meaning ‘carcass’ in Swahili). The film shocked me, clearly describing the devastating impact poaching can have on wildlife and the fatal dangers involved in the consumption of bushmeat (which can spread disease). I knew then that I had to do something. I made the decision and joined Born Free as volunteer where we retrieved over 4,000 snares. Through my dedication and passion for wildlife, I have worked my way up in Meru from volunteer, to Field Assistant, to leading our rangers as the Twiga Team Scout Supervisor.
What does World Ranger Day mean to you?
World Ranger Day is celebrated to commemorate rangers who lost their lives or have been injured in the line of duty. It also celebrates the work rangers do all over the world by bravely protecting the wildlife habitats, cultural heritage, and natural treasures. I celebrate World Ranger Day by devoting myself to protecting wildlife for future generations to come, and by organising events and inviting loved ones to mark the occasion by learning what rangers do in their ecosystem.
Why is the Twiga Team important?
The Twiga Team works hard conducting de-snaring patrols to remove indiscriminate snares and monitor for evidence of illegal activities, halting any activities we come across. Many animals in Meru have been killed or severely injured by snares. Since January 2019, we have recorded six instances of lions that were caught in a snare and recorded catastrophic injuries such as a young bull elephant, known as Mutia, whose trunk has been severed in half by a snare. The Twiga Team does a fantastic job, dedicating their energy trekking into the Meru landscape in search of indiscriminate snares – which are not easy to find due to thick bushes and tall grass.
“In the field of conservation, every day is a learning day and marks new experiences. This makes me a happy conservationist, learning skills across different ecosystems and gaining knowledge of a range of biodiversity. Hence, my job makes me the happiest and most passionate person for the work that we do.” – Shadrack Kimeu, Twiga Team Supervisor
The exercise is tough, risky, and cumbersome due to presence of wild animals and the uneven terrain. We conduct our daily patrols alongside at least two Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers and our five Twiga Team members. We track our daily movements and routes that we use, and we record any collected or destroyed snares and evidence of illegal human activities. The Team have removed over 800 snares during the last year, thus preventing these snares from ever harming any animals.
Tell us about a typical day?
We plan each de-snaring mission as a team, including the area to patrol and the time spent patrolling. We set off early in the morning at around 06:00am, armed with our de-snaring tools: bolt cutter, pliers, phones for data collection, radio, GPS, and a compass for directions. Using data from previous patrols, we have identified snare-hotspots, which helps us to understand the landscape and know where the snares can be found.
After reaching the area of patrol, I brief the team on how to move in the bush. We must be silent as we move through the thick bush so that poachers do not hear our approach and we can listen out for any other threats. When we find a snare, we measure the length, height off the ground, and the diameter of the wire. We patrol for an average of about three to four hours and walk over three miles (over five kilometres) a day, combing through the bush, shrubland and open grassland. We endure nasty experiences with bee attacks, tsetse flies and wasps, and sometimes come across dangerous snakes like puff adders, red spitting cobras and pythons. Through the patrols we collect data on snaring hotspots to allow us to focus our efforts, remove snares and treat animals, and collect and destroy active snares to prevent them from injuring wildlife.
Your most memorable wildlife encounter?
The most memorable encounter in my life was when I met a baby elephant in 2016, which had got caught in a snare. It was very traumatised as the poor young elephant had the snare trapped around its head. The KWS vet was called to the scene, and he darted the young one. The worst part of the situation was separating the mother from the darted baby. This is necessary whist the young elephant was treated to prevent the mother from injuring her baby, or any of the team.
During treatment, the young elephant’s family, together with the mother, were constantly moving around the scene. Thankfully, the treatment of the baby was successful and later the young one was united with the herd after he woke from the anaesthesia.Not all stories like this have a happy ending, but we continue to fight for each and every animal.
How do you feel when you see a snared animal?
When I see an animal caught in a snare, I really feel uncomfortable and frustrated. It is hard to watch an animal in extreme pain. Snaring results in agonising pain, stress and panic, and the wound can quickly become infected and could results in a prolonged and excruciating death for animal. The snared individual will be fearful and may suffer from hunger, thirst, and exposure to attacks from other animals. The pain I feel when seeing an orphaned baby animal who has lost their mother to a snare is one of the worst experiences.
Why are communities so important in conservation?
People and the communities are important to the conservation since they are the key stakeholders. They need to be recognised and valued because they are the immediate partners to conservation. The community involvement builds a sense of ownership and responsibility, which improves the project effectiveness and promotes sustainability by protecting biodiversity.
It’s imperative to engage communities living around the conserved areas through education and creating awareness campaigns to increase understanding of conservation issues. This is exactly how I came to work with Born Free. Education and conservation awareness means conservationists and communities speak the same language, giving both space to air their views and opinions.
What is your favourite and least favourite thing about your job?
In the field of conservation, every day is a learning day and marks new experiences. This makes me a happy conservationist, learning skills across different ecosystems and gaining knowledge of a range of biodiversity. Hence, my job makes me the happiest and most passionate person for the work that we do.
Nevertheless, waking very early in the morning and walking through the dense bush every day, is quite challenging. The danger is immense; sometimes we find ourselves accidentally surrounded by herds of elephants or walking under dangerous snakes hanging from the trees.
What else do you enjoy?
I like to research on what other people in conservation are doing to combat wildlife poaching and promote peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife. Mostly I do this through reading articles and publications and watching documentaries. I’m also a big fan of football: I spend some of the evenings and weekends watching and at times playing football with friends and colleagues.
Any big Twiga Team successes?
The Twiga Team has successfully removed over 800 snares within a period of less than two years. Whilst we haven’t been able to save them all, we have saved and released animals including lions, birds and small herbivores trapped by snares. The team have successfully trained our ten Conservation Ambassadors on the importance of conservation and de-snaring, allowing them to educate and create awareness in the surrounding communities.
How do you and your team keep safe?
De-snaring patrols can be tedious – it is not an easy job. Therefore, staying safe requires proper planning, understanding of landscape, teamwork, and partnerships. We work closely with Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), who provide at least two personnel for each day we are out in the field. Because of the density of the vegetation cover, we regularly deploy bushcraft techniques and skills such as moving in a single file or extended line and keeping appropriate distance from each other, ensuring we don’t get separated when out in the field. Moreover, the KWS security personnel are always in front and behind or on both sides of my team. Maintaining silence and being alert is a key priority. This helps us to realize any danger or threat ahead.
What special skills help you?
The team underwent training by KWS at the law enforcement academy, gaining special skills and experience which have made work easier in the bush. These skills include communication (understanding the use of radios); disaster management to help us control fires during the dry seasons; bush tracking skills to helps us monitor the presence of poachers and wild animals; and navigation skills which include use of GPS and their maintenance. Also, we gained skills in camouflage and concealment, that help us not to disturb wildlife.
Any advice for budding conservationists?
Conservation starts at home and every conservationist should be willing to work hard, speak to the public and educate them, and they should be able to relate well with local people. They should be proactive about volunteer opportunities and engaging in conservation programmes. Advocating on behalf of the environment and understanding and appreciating the necessity to conserve the natural world is key. Lastly do not give up, we can always make a difference, no matter how small.
Anything you’d like to say to Born Free supporters?
I personally appreciate our supporters who have been tirelessly supportive of our projects through donations and fundraising. Their contributions have allowed Born Free and the Twiga Team to meet our targets and realize our goal of protecting the wildlife of Meru from the threat of indiscriminate snares.


Why pharmacy trumps retail for OTC purchases? Consumers give the lowdown
Time pressure or cost are not overriding concerns for pharmacy customers, new consumer research reveals.
A study of 86 customers from two metropolitan Queensland pharmacies has reinforced findings from previous research in highlighting the emphasis place on the feeling of trust and altruism in the pharmacy setting.
Almost all (96%) of the customers strongly agreed/agreed that trust in the advice given in a pharmacy was critical, with a similar number highlighting the importance of the altruistic approach of the pharmacy.
In contrast, 82% disagreed that time pressure was a concern and 78% said cost wasn’t a critical concern when in the pharmacy setting.
Crucially, 89% of the customers said they would continue to purchase OTC medicines from a pharmacy, rather than supermarket outlet.
“It is clear that when visiting a pharmacy, the key expectations by the customers are to be treated with respect, consideration, and for their views to be heard,” said the authors, from RMIT University, Victoria and Queensland University of Technology.
“It has been shown that pharmacy customers consider customer service as a greater driver for satisfaction than perceived value for money when they shop. However, the level of service provided to pharmacy customers can be directly limited by internal management and organisational factors such as communication and control processes”.
“Additionally, it has been shown that the attributes of the pharmacists and their staff are major drivers for pharmacy patronage by customers,” they added.
Aspects such as professionalism, friendliness and a caring nature will influence a customer’s decision-making process of where to shop., they said, while previous research had identified the critical role of the pharmacists’ attire in instilling confidence in their customers.
The findings support many of the “perceptions of existing literature identifying a high level of satisfaction, confidence, sense of altruism, and trust by the public in pharmacist/pharmacies,” said the authors, from RMIT University, Victoria and Queensland University of Technology.
“These are important factors for customers buying OTCs from a pharmacy, regardless of time pressures and costs implications”.
The authors said the following considerations are important:
- the need to provide greater differentiation with supermarkets;
- the need to continue exploring opportunities to value-add and provide care beyond simply supplying a product;
- the need to better integrate with other health services.
“Good communication skills and appropriate education of customers are critical in a pharmacist’s ability to build rapport and dissuade customers from purchasing inappropriate products,” they said.
“Optimal staff training and selection, as well as development of pharmacy personnel are critical to pharmacy patronage and for ensuring success of the pharmacy profession”.
The study was published in the journal Pharmacy Practice

This was the second cruise on the Marco Polo having enjoyed the first one to Norway in 2009.
The itinerary was absolutely perfect for us. We had the chance to visit the most wonderful places.
The Marco Polo is a really comfortable liner,looks a bit dated from the dock but on board is another world. She is a very clean and well kept liner. Our Cabin was really nice and very spacious. Marjya, our cabin housekeeper was wonderful and kept our cabin in pristine condition. The restaurant was excellent, food was delicious and the service from Sid and his staff was wonderful. Many thanks to Rosario for our lessons in napkin folding and for being such a good laugh. Thanks too to Wint and Phyo, and our lovely wine waitress, (table 9). The entertainment was superb every night and we really enjoyed Laurence Robinson , the classical performer, immensely.
The bar staff were outstanding and we enjoyed our laughs with Roland and Petr.
Bless you all for making this cruise the best holiday I have ever had, so much so I have booked again for next April to return to the fjords.
Excellent cabin very spacious and very clean and comfortable

Lu Xun (鲁迅) is essentially the face of modern Chinese literature – he published many works between 1918, when A Madman’s Diary (狂人日记）was first published, and his death in 1936. He is known for, first, his attempts to bring more of the spoken Chinese into literature (which up until that point had largely been reserved for Classical Chinese), and second, his strong polemics against traditional Chinese culture and his desires for post-Qing dynasty China to modernize. Anyways, without further ado:
I couldn’t be afraid, and continued down my path. There was a group of children before me that were there discussing me; their eyes were just like Zhao Guiweng’s and their faces were all ashen. I thought, how do I have so much enmity with them that they act this way. Unable to control myself, I shouted, “Tell me!” and they ran away.
I thought: how do I have so much enmity with Zhao Guiweng, so much enmity with the people on the street; it can only be that, twenty years ago, I stepped on the old ledgers of Mr. Gujiu,* really upsetting him. Although Zhao Guiweng didn’t know Mr. Gujiu, he must have heard of the affair, and was getting retribution for him; he must have colluded with the people on the road to turn them against me. But what about the children? At that time they hadn’t yet been born, so why were they staring at me so weirdly today, as if they were afraid of me, as if they wanted to hurt me, surprising and saddening me. I understand. This was taught to them by their parents!
*Gujiu (古久), in Chinese, is “ancient and old”
I have a love-hate relationship with Lu Xun. His writing and his life are both very interesting – he went to medical school in Japan before returning to China to become a writer, and his writing is entirely shaped by his belief that writing, that new and modern ideas, was the cure to treat China’s ills. “A Madman’s Diary” does interesting things that pull from Lu Xun’s very educated background, taking cues from Gogol’s “Diary of a Madman” and using “madness” to give the main character “clarity.” That is, only by being mad can he see all of the ills of society, which otherwise are thoroughly socialized into us and therefore normal. He does this well and in what I think is an interesting way to create a story. On the other hand – “stepping on the old ledgers of Mr. Gujiu,” that is, of “Mr. Ancient and Old Times,” is an appallingly simple allusion. In this passage, the Madman is concerned with having offended the ancient ways and traditional thought, and thinks people hate him for having offended them. His wondering about the children is Lu Xun’s pretty obvious wondering: how is such a negative system constantly produced and reproduced? Oh, because we learn it from our parents. Lu Xun is fantastically important and I enjoy his writing, besides, the juxtaposition of Classical and Modern Chinese creates a very fun and challenging read, yet, the very clear and blunt nature of his polemics has always left me wanting.
Anyways, if you’re interested in the collection of his that I’m reading (which includes an (alright) English translation!), you can scope it on Amazon here. For those not up to date on your Chinese history, his writing is a fantastic and fascinating look into early “Republican China,” the space between the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 and the formation of the People’s Republic in 1949. And if you do know Chinese or have studied China, your bookshelf honestly isn’t complete without a few of his works, so get on that.

- You have the ability to get your life back on the track that you want it to be.
- I help people to help themselves. People who take the first step of recognizing that help is advisable and available, are courageous - they also understand that they can improve their well-being, their happiness and their relationships with others.
- Focusing on the future and what you want in your life forms a large part of my counselling.
- If that desired future is being badly affected by past events and experiences we will work towards understanding and resolution of those also.
- The future can be changed from what it might have been; the past is fixed - it has happened.
- I work in the belief that people can attain and maintain autonomy over their lives, enabling them to make their best decisions for themselves - not feeling that they should bounce from one problem to the next, either their own or of others.
- Counselling will help you to understand the underlying reasons why you may be using negative thoughts and behavior which you may have learnt in the past - some of which are not useful or appropriate in the present. It will also give ideas of the more enjoyable life that may be available.
- Counselling brings awareness, reality and knowledge to anger, confusion, anxiety and depression. It can be fun and laughter, joy, understanding, bringing a sense of knowledge and clarity to problems which may have built up over a long time. It can also be hard mental effort, working towards a better appreciation of your current situation and a future way of living in this wonderful world.
- Mental conflict of any kind can often be helped by understanding where it originated. Realising how past problems are really affecting you now, and why, can enable real solutions to real issues. If you are living your current life according to rules or habits which originated a long time ago, you may be unknowingly discontent with the result.
- Understanding a problem may be the solution just by itself. Working with that understanding, with clarity and reality, to bring a new viewpoint to life may be the big improvement you wish.
- I also understand that people may have difficulties in settling down in UK after overseas careers. I empathize with people who have business difficulties and hectic career lives, with an aim to bring clarity and reasoning to why they are doing so and what are their objectives and wishes. Counselling assists in bringing reality and calm to what can be a rewarding and successful aspect of life, instead of feelings of pressure, fear and pure ambition.
- I work in a professional, ethical manner, adhering to the rules and ethics of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) of which I am a member.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Masters Degree in Psychotherapy Research.
- Advanced Diploma in Integrated Counselling.

Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
- Depression and disappointment with your current situation and low self esteem.
- Difficulty in establishing or maintaining a comfortable work and personal life balance.
- Stress issues of establishing and maintaining an effective balance between the common contradiction of trying to have a wonderful job and a wonderful personal life - and the result of either or both being unsatisfactory.
- Problems of settling down to a steady life in UK, after having lived and worked overseas for a prolonged period.
- I have lived and worked overseas for most of my life. I have first-hand experience of how that can be; with the joys, pleasures, frustrations as well as the pitfalls of resettling back into an English lifestyle.
- £55 per hour.
- Sessions are one full hour.
- First introductory session is £35 per hour.
When I work
- Morning hours; weekdays, Sat & Sun mornings.
- I provide a limited number of sessions during weekends.
- I have lived and worked overseas for most of my life. I have experienced the stresses and emotions that moving to or from overseas situations, for both the employee and their families.
- I work with people who have issues with the results of overseas living. I enjoy doing so as I know the situations well and use counselling to help.
- I provide a counselling service to companies that need to put their staff though distressing situations; such as redundancy, reorganization, branch closures, etc.
I feel strongly that businesses should consider all aspects of their staff's health and well-being Apart from a possible legal duty to do so, I consider that employers have a responsibility for some of the emotional aspects of their employees lives.
- Counselling can be a beneficial service that a business provides to staff. It helps people to help themselves, as well as demonstrating to staff and their families that the organisation cares about them as people - not just a productive number or name.
- When staff know that they are cared for as people they are happier and more content. Involving families of staff in counselling will often also have a great benefit to businesses, improving the overall benefit to people, and ultimately the organisation.
- Costs of providing counselling to staff will normally be considered a business expense, as such it can be provided at low overall cost. It really can be a win - win situation!

- Greek Junta Trials
The Greek Junta Trials ( _el. Οι Δίκες της Χούντας translated as: The Τrials of the Junta) were the
trials involving members of the military junta which ruled Greece from 21 April 1967to 23 July 1974. These trials involved the instigators of the coup as well as other junta members of various ranks who took part in the events of the Athens Polytechnic uprisingand in the torture of citizens.
military coupleaders were formally arrested during the " metapolitefsi" period that followed the junta, and in early August 1975 the government of Konstantinos Karamanlisbrought charges of high treasonand mutinyagainst Georgios Papadopoulosand other co-conspirators. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917678,00.html The Colonels on Trial] Time Magazine Retrieved 15 August 2008 Quote: "Fearful of both right-wing plots to spring the defendants from prison and left-wing assassination attempts, the democratic government of Premier Constantine Caramanlis staged an impressive show of military strength at a trial that had been described as "Greece's Nuremberg."" and "Exasperated, the president of the court, Yiannis Deyannis, who was appointed a high court judge under the junta, yelled, "Let all those who wish to leave—leave!"" also: "Loyal Officials. Kanellopoulos, a highly respected leader of the National Radical Union, told how he had been arrested at machine-gun point by junta soldiers and taken to the monarch in 1967. He urged the King, who was also commander in chief of the armed forces, to order loyal officers to crush the colonels' rebellion. The weak and inexperienced Constantine, then 27, refused, fearing bloodshed. Instead, he swore the colonels into office."] The mass trial, described as "Greece's Nuremberg" and known as "The Trial of the Instigators", was staged at the Korydallos Prisonamidst heavy security. The principal leaders of the 1967 coup, Georgios Papadopoulos, Stylianos Pattakosand Nikolaos Makarezos, were sentenced to death for high treason, following the trial. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,947162,00.html Answering to History] Time magazine Retrieved 18 August 2008 Quote: "Slavishly deferential, Papadopoulos' 19 co-defendants in the trial at Korydallos Prison on the outskirts of Athens referred to him as "Mr. President." When talking to reporters, the squat, jaunty Papadopoulos assured them that he would not be in jail for long. Disdainfully refusing to enter a plea in his defense, he crowed, "I shall answer only to history and the Greek people." To which Court President Ioannis Deyannis replied, his small sharp features pinched in anger, "Do you think history is absent from this courtroom?""] Shortly after the sentences were pronounced, they were commuted to life imprisonmentby the Karamanlis government. The trial of the instigators was followed by a second trial which investigated the events surrounding the Athens Polytechnic uprisingknown as "The Trial of the Polytechnic" and, finally, a series of trials involving incidents of tortureknown in Greece as "The Trials of the Torturers".

After the fall of the junta in July 1974, as the country entered the period of the "
metapolitefsi" and before the legislative elections in November of the same year, the transitional government headed by Konstantinos Karamanlis came under growing criticism from the opposition, including Georgios Mavros, the leader of the Center Union-New Forces(the main opposition party at the time), about being too lenient to the members of the recently deposed military junta.
Mavros had demanded the arrest of the junta principals as a condition for cleaning up the political life of the country. At the time he declared that as soon as the Parliament was convened after the 1974 elections, he would propose
legislationto annul any automatic immunity laws which the junta might have enacted to protect its members.
newspapers further demanded an investigation into the role of Brigadier Ioannides during the crushing of the Polytechnic uprising, which the press called a "massacre". Ioannides was the shadowy leader of the junta's final stage who had been described as the "invisible dictator" in the press.
In addition, Georgios Papadopoulos, Dimitrios Ioannides, Michael Roufogalis, Nikolaos Dertilis, Vassilios Bouklakos and Elias Tsiaouris or Tsapouris (also Tsiaparas), who were also responsible of the Polytechnic events were prohibited from leaving the country, as rumours were circulating that they were planning to escape abroad.
On 24 October 1974, Georgios Papadopoulos, Stylianos Pattakos, Nikolaos Makarezos, Ioannis Ladas and Michael Roufogalis were arrested and charged with conspiring again. [http://tovima.dolnet.gr/print_article.php?e=B&f=12737&m=A71&aa=1 The disappearance of Ioannides] To Vima Retrieved 22 August 2008 (In Greek) [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=el&u=http://tovima.dolnet.gr/print_article.php%3Fe%3DB%26f%3D12737%26m%3DA71%26aa%3D1&sa=X&oi Translation by Google] ] Subsequently they were sent to the island of Kea.
Ioannides, was not arrested at that time, with the official explanation that he did not take part in the conspiracy of the Papadopoulos group. However the newspapers, such as "
To Vima", alleged, citing reliable sources, that Ioannides had disappeared and could not be found.
Immediately after the group of five was exiled to Kea, the opposition demanded to know the details of the actions of Papadopoulos and his co-conspirators prior to their arrest, while the government denied rumours of pro-junta manoeuvres among the military.
During his stay in Kea, Papadopoulos seemed confident that he and the members of his junta would be granted
amnestyand they would eventually run for office and get elected. However, following a three month stay on the island, in February 1975, Papadopoulos and the other four junta principals were transported by a torpedo boatto the port of Piraeuson their way to Korydallos prison.

Trial of the instigators of the 21 April 1967 coup
On 28 July 1975 the trial of the instigators of the coup ( _el. Η Δίκη των Πρωταιτίων) commenced with
Ioannis Deyannisas the presiding judge; Deyannis had been appointed to the high court of "Areios Pagos" during the junta years. The mandate of the trial was to examine the events surrounding the 21 April 1967 coup, for which Papadopoulos and over twenty other co-defendants were charged with acts of high treasonand mutiny. Security surrounding the trial was heavy: one thousand soldiers armed with submachine guns were guarding the jail's perimeter, and the roads leading to the jail were patrolled by tanks.
Despite these developments, Papadopoulos expressed his confidence to reporters that he would not remain incarcerated for long. He also assumed full responsibility for the April coup but refused to defend himself. Following Papadopoulos' lead, Stylianos Pattakos, Nikolaos Makarezos and other junta members announced that they would not participate in the trial. Dimitrios Ioannides announced that the trial was "unfortunately not interesting".
The defence announced that the reason their clients were not participating was that the Karamanlis government had prejudiced the outcome of the trial by declaring the 1967 coup a
criminal offense. The lawyers of sixteen of the defendants walked out of the courtroomon the first day of the proceedings, declaring that they could not carry out their duties under a climate of terrorand violence, to which the presiding judge Ioannis Deyannis replied: "Let all those who wish to leave—leave!".
Although there was an agreement between the defendants that they would keep silent during the trial and would not issue any statements, Papadopoulos broke his silence and declared to the Court that: "I am the leader of the Revolution and I am responsible for everything".

Η πρώτη παρασπονδία του Παπαδόπουλου έγινε προχθές, όταν σηκώθηκε ξαφνικά και άρχισε να εκφωνή τη γνωστή δήλωσή του, ότι "αυτός είναι ο αρχηγός της επαναστάσεως και υπεύθυνος για όλα". Ο αιφνιδιασμός αυτός βρήκε απροετοίμαστους ακόμα και τον Παττακό και τον Μακαρέζο οι οποίοι πίστευαν ότι είχαν συμφωνήσει στο "βουβό θέατρο"... Στη σύσκεψη που είχε γίνει στον Κορυδαλλό πριν από την έναρξη της δίκης, οι περισσότεροι προσπάθησαν να πείσουν τον Παπαδόπουλο ότι δεν έχουν να κερδίσουν τίποτα αν επιτεθούν εναντίον των μαρτύρων κατηγορίας: "Στον στρατό δεν έχουμε πλέον ανθρώπους, στον λαό δεν έχουμε απήχηση. Τι θα κερδίσουμε με την πολιτικοποίηση της δίκης; " ήταν το επιχείρημά τους»."

In their view their support among the people and in the army was non-existent.
The charge of mutiny was contested because even though the colonels had in fact seized power illegally, they did so with the approval of their superior officer
Lieutenant General Gregorios Spandidakis, who even joined the coup. Further Karamanlis himself, by accepting the invitation of junta-appointed President Phaedon Gizikisto return to Greece, conferred a measure of legitimacy to the junta. In addition it was Gizikis who swore-in Karamanlis as Prime Minister.
During the trial, Spandidakis, Zoitakis and Stamatelopoulos differentiated their position from that of the other junta members. This divergence from the common defence line led Papadopoulos to strongly chastise one of his defence lawyers for trying to question one of Zoitakis' witnesses. He is reported as exclaiming: "He is not one of our witnesses. Do not ask him [any questions] ". [ [http://www.tovima.gr/print_article.php?e=B&f=13021&m=A44&aa=1 To Vima online] Christos Karanikas Quote: "Οι μάρτυρες του Ζωιτάκη οργίζουν τον Παπαδόπουλο στη δίκη των πρωταιτίων του πραξικοπήματος της 21ης Απριλίου που γίνεται στο Πενταμελές Εφετείο, στις Γυναικείες Φυλακές του Κορυδαλλού: «Το Σάββατο, κατά πάσαν πιθανότητα, θα αρχίσουν να απολογούνται οι πρωταίτιοι...

Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, the last legitimate Prime Minister of Greece prior to the coup, acting as witness for the prosecution, testified how he was arrested by machine-gun toting soldiers and transported to the palace to meet King Constantine. He added that during the meeting he urged the king to use his status as commander-in-chiefof the Greek military to order loyal officers to crush the coup. He stated that Constantine refused to do so because he feared bloodshed.
Kanellopoulos also stated at the trial that, against his advice, King Constantine swore-in the government of the colonels, an action which had helped legitimise their rule. Kanellopoulos' testimony had the effect of undermining the charge of mutiny. Kanellopoulos, during his testimony, also accepted his responsibility "before history" for not preempting the coup. He testified that there was no indication at all that the colonels were plotting "behind the backs" of the highest echelons of the army leadership.

And we managed to catch because there was no indication that behind the backs of higher military hierarchy, some colonels were planning a coup »."]
Papadopoulos refused to testify and only declared: "I shall answer only to history and to the Greek people"; to which presiding justice Deyannis retorted: "Do you think history is absent from this courtroom?" Papadopoulos did not respond.
The question of the involvement of the
Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) in the coup, a widely-held belief in Greece, was not answered at the trial.

ABSTRACT The military training and selection procedures leading to the behavior of a torturer are discussed. The analysis is based on testimonies of army police servicemen at the first torturers' trial in Greece and on the interviews of ex-military policemen who served under the military dictatorship in Greece (1967–1974).

In prison the junta principals addressed each other using their former titles such as "Minister" and "President" and showed great deference to Papadopoulos. However, Papadopoulos did not readily socialise and preferred to dine alone. The then-warden of Korydallos prison, Yannis Papathanassiou later published the book "Prison Diary: Korydallos 1975–79", where he described the amenities that the incarcerated junta members enjoyed, such as
air conditioners, television sets and tennis courts. [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,921781,00.html Posh Prison] Time Magazine retrieved 15 August 2008 ]
Papathanassiou in his book describes how the Justice Ministry, under pressure from junta sympathisers, ordered these special arrangements for the prisoners. Papathanassiou also detailed his continuous vigilance trying to uncover escape plots. He also revealed how, through their lawyers, the prisoners got involved in the 1977 Greek legislative election supporting a right wing party. The regular population of the prison became so incensed about the preferential treatment given to the junta members that they rioted.
A plan to grant
amnestyto the junta principals by the Konstantinos Mitsotakisgovernment in 1990 was cancelled after protests from conservatives, socialists and communists alike.

Papadopoulos and seven other members of the junta were housed in the maximum security A-block. Papadopoulos resided on the second floor of the compound along with the other members of his regime, while Ioannides resided on the ground floor.
Although Pattakos and Makarezos were let out of jail early due to health reasons, Papadopoulos never asked for clemency and remained in jail until his death. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19990628/ai_n14226232/pg_2 Obituary: George Papadopoulos Independent, The (London), Jun 28, 1999 by Robert Shannan Peckham] Quote:"Unlike Makarezos and Pattakos, who were let out of prison early on grounds of ill-health, Papadopoulos never asked for clemency. At his trial he refused to plead or give evidence. As Seferis observed in March 1969, speaking out against the Colonels, in a statement broadcast by the BBC: "In dictatorial regimes the beginning may seem easy, yet tragedy waits at the end inescapably." Georgios Papadopoulos, soldier and politician: born Eleochorion, Greece 5 May 1919; Minister to Prime Minister's Office 1967, Prime Minister of Greece and Minister of Defence 1967-73, Minister of Education 1969-70, Minister of Foreign Affairs 1970-73, Regent 1972- 73, President 1973; married 1941 Nekee Vassiliadis (two children; marriage dissolved), 1970 Despina Gaspari (one daughter); died Athens 27 June 1999."] He died in hospital on
27 June 1999, after being transferred from Korydallos.
During his incarceration, Ioannides was reported as reading military books and books about the CIA. Because of his involvement in Papadopoulos' overthrow he was accused by the right wing that he betrayed the oath he gave in the summer of 1971 in front of Papadopoulos and another twenty junta members that he would recognise Papadopoulos as the leader of the "Revolution", i.e. the junta, and thus he was held responsible for the subsequent events, especially the regime's ultimate collapse. Consequently he did not come into contact with Papadopoulos and the other junta members around him and he spent most of his time alone in an isolated cell. Despite that, he sometimes arranged parties attended by members of the ESA military police, who resided on the third floor of the compound.
Ioannides and co-conspirator Nikos Dertilis never asked for a pardon. By the end of 2005, lawyers representing Ioannides and Dertilis petitioned the court for their release, but at the same time time Ioannides declared that he did not regret any of his actions. The Court of Justice in Piraeus declined his petition, based on his lack of remorse. Ioannides is currently a patient at the General State Hospital of Nikaia after being transferred from Korydallos due to illness.

Αυτήν την προδοσία δεν μπόρεσαν πολλοί να του τη συγχωρήσουν ποτέ. Ακόμη και σήμερα ο Ιωαννίδης αναθεματίζεται από ακροδεξιά έντυπα για την απόφασή του «να ρίξει τον Παπαδόπουλο»." Translation: "He had done something much worse: he had betrayed the oath he gave in the summer of 1971 in front of Papadopoulos and twenty more coupists according to which the leader of the "Revolution", as they called the junta, remained his old friend. This betrayal many could not forgive him for. Even to this day Ioannides is cursed by right wing publications for his decision to overthrow Papadopoulos]
Stylianos Pattakos, even in jail, exhibited continued devotion to Papadopoulos. It is reported the he enjoyed hearing religious music supplied to him by a monk and in his prison memoirs he describes how he enjoyed tending a small garden and a little pond with 21
goldfish. The two things he mentions in his writings that he did not like was noise pollutionat the jail, which he describes as "torture", and that the shape of the pond and faucet combination looked like a hammer and sickle.
In another segment of his prison memoirs, Pattakos also mentions an incident involving General
Odysseas Aggelis(the Chief of the Armed Forces under much of the junta), and a jail guard. According to Pattakos the jail guard had his radio volume high and Aggelis pleaded with the guard to lower it. The guard not only did not comply but raised the volume higher. Aggelis then asked Pattakos to intervene on his behalf and ask the "noble jail guard" again.

It is estimated that more than 12 million American men suffer from BPH with over 750,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Currently 50% of these men struggle to deal with the symptoms of BPH, including frequency, nocturia, intermittency, urgency, weak stream and straining to urinate as a result of being refractory or non-responsive, or unwilling to deal with the side effects of medical therapy, or reluctant to undergo an invasive surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia. The Rezūm procedure is an effective, safe and minimally invasive BPH treatment option that gives urologists the opportunity to offer an office-based or outpatient treatment option that may provide relief to men who are looking for an alternative to currently available BPH treatment offerings.
The Rezūm System uses radiofrequency energy to transform sterile water into stored thermal energy in the form of vapor, or steam. This water vapor is convectively delivered directly into the obstructive prostate tissue that causes BPH, where condensation releases enough thermal energy to gently and immediately denature the targeted prostate tissue cells to cause necrosis. The treated tissue is absorbed by the body’s natural immune system.
Rezum is a reasonable option for the patient:
- Not getting the desired results with medicine
- The cost of the medicines is too high.
- He is having unacceptable side effects.
- Prefers an out patient procedure.
- Doesn’t want to be on medicines the rest of his life.
Rezum minimally invasive stream treatment of the prostate now being performed by Northeast Georgia Urological Associates as an out patient in both the office setting and in our accredited ambulatory surgery center.

Warminster is an ancient market town in south west Wiltshire with a nearby garrison, and civil parish, on the western edge of Salisbury Plain. The 11th-century Minster Church of St Denys stands near the River Were, which runs through the town and can be seen running through the town park which is an enjoyable place for both young and old. The High Street and Market Place have many fine period buildings; The Athenaeum Theatre, Town Hall, St Lawrence Chapel, The Old Bell, and a good variety of independent shops, restaurants and supermarkets including Tesco and Waitrose. There is also a very useful trading estate to the north west of the town. Other amenities include hospital, clinics, dental practice and library.
This property is within walking distance of Princecroft, Minster and Sambourne primary schools. Likewise two secondary schools; highly regarded Warminster School, an independent public school which was founded in 1707, and offers all levels of education and Kingdown School which became an academy in 2011.
The town’s railway station is operated by Great Western Railway and is a prominent station on the Wessex Main Line, with regular services to Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Southampton and Portsmouth.
Warminster is at the junction of two primary vehicular routes, the A36 and the A350, which both now bypass the town to the south and east.
