King to meet founder of antipoverty charity in Scottish village



Charles, who is on his summer break at the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, will visit St Paul's Church in Kinross, Perthshire, on Friday to meet Annie McCormack, the founder of Broke Not Broken.

He will be given a brief overview of the charity, which began life by providing food to those who need it, and view the garden where it grows its own fruit and vegetables.

Volunteers, including secondary school students, will talk to Charles about the charity, which now also provides a counselling service and money advice to residents.

The King will then view an art exhibition within the church featuring pieces by local artists, before meeting members of the public outside.

Charles will also visit the nearby Kinross Day Centre, where he will meet people who directly benefit from the services it provides, alongside visitors and volunteers.

The King will hear details of those services, including the provision of lunches for elderly residents and activities such as bingo, art classes and singing groups.

Before leaving, it is expected the King will unveil a plaque marking the 40th anniversary of the centre.

Perth and Kinross Provost Xander McDade said: "It will be an honour to be part of the group welcoming the King to Kinross and it will be an unforgettable day for everyone in the town.

"It is fantastic His Majesty will be seeing first hand some of the amazing work being done by community groups working in the area.

"Their work provides a lifeline to many people and shows what tremendous community spirit there is Kinross."

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho – forget about being aware

Osho – forget about being aware: rather, start enjoying the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION [A sannyasin says that he is fed up with his mind. I feel I’m never here and I never see anything at all. I try everything: I try meditation, I try to be aware, But often I don’t feel it. Osho checks his energy.] Osho – Two things to be remembered…. One: don’t try to stop it. That’s how you are creating the whole problem; don’t try to stop it. It is very natural to you; you will go crazy if you try to stop it. It will be like a tree trying to stop its leaves; the tree will go mad. The leaves are very natural to it. You are a mind person. If you try to become a heart person you will create so much trouble for yourself, and unnecessarily, because there is a way which goes from the mind itself. There is no need to change yourself into a heart person, mm? That will be against your intrinsic nature. Always listen to your nature, follow your nature. To be natural is to be religio...

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
