MOSCOW, March 3. /TASS/. Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor Edward Snowden is ready to return to the US on the condition of receiving a fair trial, Snowden's lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told journalists on Tuesday, presenting his book "Time of the Octopus."
"Edward Snowden is ready to return to the US, but on the condition that he will be given guarantees on receiving a fair and impartial trial," Kucherena said.
Snowden's lawyers are working on the legal aspect of his return to the US, he went on to say.
"We, together with a group of lawyers from other countries, are working on the issue of his return to the US," Kucherena said.
The lawyer added that he received a letter from US attorney general who gave guarantees that in case of Snowden's return, he will not receive capital punishment. "That is, they guarantee that Snowden will not be executed, not that he will receive a fair trial. And it is guaranteed by attorney [general] who cannot even influence court decisions according to law," Kucherena said.
He said he does not trust information coming from several countries on their readiness to protect Snowden. "Snowden can leave the Russian territory with his residence permit. But I suspect that as soon as he leaves Russia, he will be delivered to the US embassy," the lawyer said.
Edward Snowden refuses to give interview to the media because he does not want to criticise the United States while staying in Russia, Anatoly Kucherena told reporters.
"Snowden had passed materials to reporters in Hong Kong and did it not for money — since then he has not met with reporters because he does not want to discredit the United States from here, from Russia," Kucherena said.
The lawyer noted that Snowden works in IT in Moscow and consults several US companies as well. "Edward is under protection, we take measures to ensure his safety," Kucherena said. "He is working and learning Russian," he said.
Kucherena also said he met Snowden's girlfriend Lindsay Mills. "She comes to Russia, they love each other and they have been together for many years. She continues to stand by his side," the lawyer added.
In the US, Snowden faces charges of violating the Espionage Act and theft of government property. He leaked classified information on NSA to the mainstream media, and fled to Hong Kong in June 2013. He then flew to Moscow en route to Ecuador. Snowden had to stay in Russia as the US revoked his passport. He spent more than a month in the Sheremetyevo airport transit zone.
Snowden's temporary asylum expired on August 1, 2014. He was granted a residence permit for three years.

Slain student's funeral attracts more than 1,000
NISSWA, Minn. -- More than 1,000 mourners packed a resort lodge and overflowed from two tents for the funeral of slain University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin, who was remembered for her generous heart and infectious spirit. The lodge was one of the few places in northern Minnesota large enough to hold such a crowd. The body of Sjodin, 22, who grew up in nearby Pequot Lakes, was found April 17, five months after she disappeared from a Grand Forks, N.D., shopping mall parking lot.
County spends $273,000 so far on Jackson case
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Santa Barbara County has spent $273,000 so far to prosecute Michael Jackson on child molestation charges -- and the bill keeps growing. The amount includes hundreds of court staff hours and overtime for sheriff's deputies, said Jason Stilwell, special projects manager in the county administrator's office. Some of the money comes from money set aside for trials and district attorney's investigations, but the overtime pay is extra. Prosecutors have charged the pop star with seven counts of lewd or lascivious acts on a child. Jackson has pleaded innocent.
Funerals begin for eight victims of Ill. tornado
LASALLE, Ill. -- The tornado that tore through a central Illinois town, killing eight people who had sought refuge in a tavern, also damaged its only funeral home, forcing mourners 10 miles away for the first of the funerals. About 100 people gathered Saturday at a LaSalle church to remember Beverly Wood, 67, who was killed Tuesday in Utica along with her longtime companion. Utica, a close-knit community of less than 1,000 residents, is planning a May 1 memorial service for the eight victims. "It's been devastating," Fred Sims said after Wood's funeral. "But you know what -- the community is really coming together, and that's the beautiful thing."
FCC fines radio station for crank call to Castro
MIAMI -- A radio station that crank-called Cuban President Fidel Castro and broadcast the recording should be fined $4,000, the Federal Communications Commission said. The Spanish-speaking hosts of "The Morning High Jinks" used snippets of an earlier prank involving Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to move the call from a receptionist up the chain to Castro in a five-minute broadcast June 17. The hosts of the show on WXDJ-FM, Joe Ferrero and Enrique Santos, fed pleasantries to Castro before breaking in and calling him an assassin. The conversation ended after Castro denounced the callers with a stream of vulgarities.

Need an 11th-hour Christmas gift-giving idea? Serve others this season
'Tis the week of Christmas, which means you likely have shopping lists to be checked off and finalized, meals to prepare, gifts to wrap and homes to clean for hosting loved ones and friends.
During the harried and frenetic pace that has become the final days before Christmas, the Deseret News recommends "10 ways you can help others this holiday season."
At least one recent national poll shows Americans appear to be in a more charitable mood this season than they were a year ago.
Among local organizations and service institutions you might offer time or resources to this season are:
Volunteer centers around the state
lds.org, Humanitarian Services
For an even more online giving experience, try nonprofit groups such as GlobalGiving and TisBest, which estimate they have raised millions of dollars for charities by selling donation gift cards.
To find a charity you can trust, visit www.charitynavigator.org.
As always, donations around the country can be received at any local Salvation Army Red Kettle location, or online.

With this change there would most likely be more in the way of sunshine with some locally warm temperatures and lighter winds. However there is also the possibility of more humid continental air moving up across the southeast at times, bringing a risk of some thundery showers here.

Vincent Calderon and Carrie Gaethle had just gotten their two children back to bed after being shaken awake by a 7.1 magnitude tremor that rocked the Kenai Peninsula Sunday morning when their house exploded into a mass of blue flames.
Though she describes herself as "organized chaos," Megan Nathe's bedroom looks ready to pass the most thorough of inspections, with not a pen out of place and labels stuck to her several metal lockers.
Nearly all residents evacuated from the Lilac Lane area after Sunday's earthquake have returned home. The 7.1 magnitude tremor caused two gas explosions that burnt four houses to the ground in Kenai, among other damages.
Troopers have identified the woman who died in a two-vehicle car crash Monday morning as 19-year-old Raquelle Reynolds of Soldotna.
She was the driver and sole occupant of a 2007 Equinox that collided with a pickup truck around 5:35 a.m.
Kenai Peninsula residents got a rude awakening early Sunday morning when a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit the Lower Cook Inlet. No injuries have been reported since the tremor clocked in at 1:30 a.m.
January. I'm stuck in between how to make it feel less like a long Monday and that "new year, new me" garbage. My plan is to have a plan. We're three weeks in. It's time to get it together. Being a "yes man.
The snow and ice are still here, but it is never to early to start planning for next year's crop. Now is a good time to be thinking about purchasing seed and planning your vegetable or flower garden.
Ali Dusek of Soldotna has been named to the Dean's Honor List for the fall semester of the 2015-2016 academic year in the College of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
A confident group of mostly Sterling area teens and juniors have represented the Kenai Peninsula in judo competition and continue the Club's winning tradition.
On Oct. 24 nine members of Sterling Club competed in a state wide competition in Anchorage.
I thought I was prepared for last Friday, its being Friday the 15th and all. It was close enough to Friday the 13th to give me bad luck all day.

Lots of Opportunities to Dive into Travel APIs
If there is a segment that is ripe for integration it is travel. APIs in the travel segment have been around for a very long time. In fact, some of the earliest APIs are based on Electronic Data Interchange, which dates back to the 1960s. Granted many of these connections are highly complex enterprise only integrations, it is a history that should bode well for modern day integrations, should it not? Despite a long history of interconnectedness, much of the travel space still remains behind closed doors. The major global distribution systems, represented by Sabre, Travelport, and Amadeus all offer powerful APIs of their own, but their commercial requirements tend to be out of the league of most application developers. In spite of the limitations the travel industry has effectively self imposed, there still exists many opportunities to monetize sites using travel APIs. There are several types of APIs available in the travel space. Most are transactional and some are content driven. Let's take a look a broad categorization of available travel APIs.
Built.io Releases API-Driven CMS, Contentstack
Built.io, a mobile back-end-as-a-service provider, has released its API-driven content management system, Contentstack, and relaunched the service as general availability.

Suffolk Democratic Chairman and former Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer is expected to be tapped to lead the town now that Steve Bellone has taken office as Suffolk County executive.
With Bellone's departure, the Babylon Town Board will meet today to appoint an interim supervisor. The town board is expected to select Schaffer, who served as town supervisor from 1992 until 2001, when he was succeeded by Bellone – his long-time friend and political ally.
Bellone had previously served as a councilman under Schaffer. Tim Ruggeri, a spokesman for the town, said Schaffer will hold the role until Election Day in November, when a special election will be held to fill the void, coinciding with the presidential election. Interim appointments can serve for a period of up to one year, Ruggeri said.
Schaffer will be sworn in, along with newly elected Town Councilman Tom Donnelly and re-elected Councilwoman Jackie Gordon. Additionally, the town board will vote on appointing former Councilwoman Ellen McVeety as alternative council member to serve in Gordon's place. Gordon will soon be deployed overseas with the U.S. Army Reserves.
McVeety was set to retire at the end of 2011, but agreed to serve as an alternate, which she is allowed to do for up to a year, according to town code. Ruggeri did not say how long Gordon would be deployed.
Bellone is expected to attend the swearing-in ceremony.

Takes fantastic closeup micro photos. Zoom not as good. I still have my Fuji MX-1500 and use it when I want a good quality photo. I bought it brand new circa 1999 it cost me $1,500 which is why I'm reluctant to toss it out. Its only good for still photos (no movies) has all the features you could need for a still camera. Only problem I have is the battery consumption is enormous. It has an option for a 3V DC input but I've never been able to get one that works.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

West Ham United win three-year battle for £429m Olympic Stadium after being named preferred bidder
- Club named top choice after competing with Tottenham Hotspur, Leyton Orient and Intelligent Transport Services
After a three-year saga over the fate of the Olympic Stadium, it looks like it will become the new home of West Ham United.
The east London football club have been named as the top choice to move in to the Olympic Stadium when it reopens, it was announced today
The London Legacy Development Corporation board (LLDC) unanimously made the decision in favour of the Premier League club ahead of rivals from Intelligent Transport Services in association with Formula One, UCFB College of Football Business and Leyton Orient.
We're moving, lads: West Ham are ready to leave their Upton Park home
A new dawn: The Olympic Stadium is set to host football in the future
Tottenham Hotspur competed against rivals West Ham for the keys to the arena
LLDC chairman and London Mayor Boris Johnson said: 'We had four good bids, as everybody knows.
'The bid that has been ranked top is West Ham United. I am very pleased about that.
West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady
'It will, if it goes through, mean a
football legacy for the stadium but there is still a lot of negotiation
to go on between the LLDC and West Ham United about the terms of the
The choice of West Ham as tenants on a 99-year lease came after a bitter drawn-out battle with other businesses over who would be chosen to have the tenancy of the 80,000 seat arena.
Three men have been charged with fraud after claims that Tottenham Hotspurs hired private investigators to snoop on West Ham as the clubs battled over the Olympic Stadium.
The trio are alleged to have accessed telephone bills and other private records of West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady illegally.
They appeared before Westminster Magistrates Court on November 28, and had their case sent to Southwark Crown Court, where they are due to appear on February 1, 2013.
The north London club denied putting officials under surveillance.
There is still plenty of hard talking to go on before West Ham move in, which is not likely to be until the 2016-17 season if it happens.
The decision for it to go to the club, which has long been regarded as inevitable because of the lack of any other long-term financially viable options, comes with a number of expected caveats.
The Mayor, who did not elaborate during the two-hour meeting said: 'There's a lot of negotiations still to go on with West Ham. If we can't do a deal, the stadium will still have a fantastic future with plan B.
'But we have plenty of time to get in a football solution by 2016-17.'
The Barclays Premier League club, who have offered £15million in cash plus a minimum £9m-a-year in rent and share of commercial revenues to help pay for the renovation costs, must also help to fill the funding gap in the building work necessary to transform a track and field venue into a multi-sports arena.

Britain's Mo Farah won the men's 5000m final at the Olympic Stadium, surrounded by thousands of cheering spectators
Decisions, decisions: London mayor Boris Johnson has been at the centre of plans
November 2010: West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur lead stadium bid
February 2011: West Ham win backing of Olympic bosses
April 2011: Spurs, Leyton Orient and an anonymous party launch legal bids over decision
October 2011: Government confirms collapse of West Ham bid
December 2011: Olympic bosses relaunch tender process
March 2012: Four bidders submit new proposals after 16 parties expressed an interest
July to August 2012: Stadium hosts Olympic and Paralympic Games
December 2012: Decision made on successful bidder
The hole in the projected £150m
finances necessary to install a new roof, retractable seating over the
running track and corporate boxes is now less than £20m.
West Ham believe the overall building costs could be less in the current market with no tenders yet taking place for the work.
West Ham, with partners Newham Council, were initially successful in their bid for the stadium but the deal collapsed in October 2011 after challenges from Tottenham Hotspurs and Leyton Orient and an anonymous complaint to the European Commission.
There is still the fear of a fresh round of legal disputes over West Ham's occupancy led by Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn, whose bid for a groundshare was turned down by the LLDC.
Hearn, who fears that Orient will go
out of business within five years of West Ham moving into a stadium so close to the League One club, was waiting
until today's verdict before deciding on whether to legally challenge
the decision in the courts.
Newham Council's contributions of over £60m to the funding adds to the complications.
It was their original deal with West Ham in 2011 that caused a legal wrangle, after a complaint was lodged to the European Parliament, claiming that Newham's financial assistance was an illegal subsidy.
There is now a European Commission investigating state aid in football, but the LLDC is confident that the West Ham deal will pass the state aid test.
Will the athletics track have to go?
Not if the next generation of Mo Farahs and company are going to have something to run on in five years' time. The stadium will host the 2017 World Athletics Championships after Lord Coe's persuasive powers proved instrumental in bringing yet another major sporting event to London following the best Olympic Games in history.
How will the seating work in such a large venue?
Here's where the money starts mounting up. A key part of West Ham's bid is to retain the running track but they do not want fans match-day experience to suffer. The plan is to install retractable seating to slide over the running track to ensure Hammers' fans continue to get a close up view of their club's renaissance.
Will the venue get a roof?
Mercifully the weather held out for those magical nights in August but the stadium was originally conceived as a summer venue. Another chunk of cash has been earmarked to extend the venue's circular roof to protect West Ham fans from the unpredictable elements.
How much is all this going to cost?
Converting the iconic venue to one which fits the bill for the Barclays Premier League, and one which can also cater for athletics and pop concerts, won't come cheap. Estimates for the work range between £130million up to £200m and it is worth remembering the stadium cost £429m to put up in the first place.
So who is going to cough up?
Well, West Ham are willing to part with £15m towards the conversion plus £9million annually in rent and cash from commercial proceeds. Fellow tenants, Newham Council, are in for between £40m and £60m while the Treasury has reached into its pockets for another £38million. Some shortfall estimates for the work range between £15 and £20m although West Ham argue that the cost of the conversion is covered with the cash already on the table.
This is starting to sound like a cracking deal for West Ham - are they getting a 60,000 stadium for a knockdown price?
There is little doubt that moving home would do wonders financially for a club currently around £80 million in debt and turning over around £80 million a year, provided they can maintain their top flight status. Do so and the match day revenue generated by the move to Stratford will dwarf the £18m they pull in annually at Upton Park. David Gold and David Sullivan shelled out in the region of £50m to buy a 50% controlling stake in West Ham in January 2010 and a Premier League club with an iconic, state of the art home could certainly be an attractive proposition for outside investors. But one of the caveats of West Ham's lease is expected to be that they share a slice of the profits with taxpayers if Gold and Sullivan eventually decide to cash in.
So off to the New Boleyn Ground we go then?
Romantic though that sounds, there is little prospect that West Ham will not attempt to sell the naming rights to their new ground. Manchester City get an estimated £400m from Etihad to have the airline's name emblazoned on what was the City of Manchester Stadium, constructed for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. And while West Ham are unlikely to strike a deal of that magnitude, the potential naming rights cash would be too tempting to turn down especially if it covered the £9m-a-year they are paying their landlords.
And what happens to West Ham's old Green Street home?
Flattened is the overwhelming expectation. A 99-year lease on their new arena means the beige towers built from the proceeds of the £18m sale of Rio Ferdinand to Leeds will slip into memory. Potential buyers are already circling with community houses, flats and a supermarket the likely uses for the site.
When will West Ham move in?
Prior to the last bidding process collapsing in May, the club reckoned they could be out of their present home by the summer of 2014. But as a result of the delays in reaching a decision about the fate of the Olympic Stadium West Ham will need to extend that until at least the start of the2015/16 season. Many feel that timescale errs on the optimistic side as the necessary construction work may take until the summer of 2016 to be finished.

According to legend coffee was discovered by an Ethiopian goat herd called Kaldi. He noticed that goats who ate certain beans became very lively. Coffee was drunk in Yemen by the 15th century. By the 16th century coffee had spread to Persia (Iran) and Turkey. There were many coffee houses where people could drink and also socialize.
Coffee reached Europe in the late 16th century through trade. Coffee was introduced into Italy first. (Today coffee is still a very popular drink among the Italians). Coffee really became popular in Europe in the 17th century. In the 1600s coffee houses opened across Europe. The first coffee house in England opened in Oxford in 1651 and by the late 17th century there were many coffeehouses in English towns where merchants and professional men met to drink cups of coffee, read newspapers and chat. www.localhistories.org/coffee

Emily Davison
On 4 June 1913 British suffragette Emily Davison was killed when she ran onto a racetrack to grab the bridle of the king's horse. Its a myth that she deliberately threw herself under the horse. And her behavior was condemned by many as irresponsible. Queen Mary, wife of King George V wrote to the jockey saying she hoped he was not too badly injured by the 'abominable conduct of a brutal lunatic woman'. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/may/26/emily-davison-suffragette-death-derby-1913

Saskatoon was founded in 1883 by a group of temperance Methodists from Toronto led by John Neilson Lake. It was probably named after a local berry. However at first Saskatoon was a tiny settlement. The railway reached Saskatoon in 1890 but it remained very small with a population only a little over 100. However in the early 20th century Saskatoon boomed. By 1911 its population had soared to 12,000 and by 1931 it was 43,000. www.localhistories.org/saskatoon

Saxon Food
Saxon women brewed beer. Another Saxon drink was mead, made from fermented honey. (Honey was very important to the Saxons as there was no sugar for sweetening food. Bees were kept in every village). Upper class Saxons sometimes drank wine. The women cooked in iron cauldrons over open fires or in pottery vessels. They also made butter and cheese. Saxons ate from wooden bowls. There were no forks only knives and wooden spoons. Cups were made from cow horn.
Saxons were fond of meat and fish. However meat was a luxury and only the rich could eat it frequently. The ordinary people usually ate plain food such as bread, cheese and eggs. They ate not just chickens eggs but eggs from ducks, geese and wild birds. www.localhistories.org/food

Chocolate is made from the fruit of the cocoa tree, which is native to Central America. It grows large round fruits containing seeds or beans, which are used to make chocolate. However for centuries people drank chocolate rather than ate it. People in Central America drank chocolate as early as 1,500 BC. Much later the Mayans and the Aztecs drank chocolate. The Aztecs called it xocolatl from which are word chocolate is derived. After the Spanish conquered Central America they bought cocoa beans back to Europe. The beans were roasted and ground and used to make a drink with hot water. The Spanish added sugar to make it taste sweeter and they stirred it with a wooden stick to make it foamy. At first chocolate was drunk only in Spain but in the 17th century chocolate spread from Spain to the rest of Europe.

Margery Kempe
Margery Kempe was an English mystic of the Middle Ages. She is famous for her autobiography. Margery was born in Kings Lynn in 1373. Her father was a wealthy merchant. At that time Kings Lynn was a large and important town and port.
Margery decided to start her own brewing business. (It was by no means unusual in the Middle Ages for women to run their own businesses). However the brewing was not a success. Margery then ran a horse mill to grind people's corn to grain. However the horse mill was also a failure. Margery Kempe believed that God was punishing her for her covetousness and pride and she determined to turn over a new leaf. She had a series of visions and she insisted on having a sexless marriage. (Previously in 20 years of marriage Margery had 14 children. Unfortunately in those days infant mortality was very high so its unlikely many of them survived).
Margery Kempe then traveled around England to visit various churchmen like bishops. Her husband accompanied her. She also visited the female mystic Julian of Norwich. In 1413 Margery Kempe went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. (In those days people went on long trips to religious shrines). In 1417 Margery went on a pilgrimage to Spain. When she returned Margery went to Leicester.
While in Leicester Margery Kempe was arrested and accused to being a Lollard. (Lollards were a religious movement founded the famous Christian John Wycliffe. Lollards were persecuted by the Catholic Church). However Margery was soon released.
In 1431 her husband John Kempe died. Then in 1433 Margery, now an old woman visited Danzig. Margery Kempe could not read and write but she dictated a book about her life. It was called The Book of Margery Kempe. It is not known when Margery Kempe died but it is believed it was in 1438 or sometime afterward.

Julian of Norwich
Julian of Norwich 1342-1416 was a great Christian mystic and writer of the Middle Ages but little is known about her. It is a myth that women were unimportant in the Middle Ages. Some women like Julian certainly did have influence. However we know very little about her life. Julian (also known as Juliana) was probably born in Norwich. She certainly spent most of her life there. At that time Norwich was one of England's largest and most important towns. It was a centre of the wool trade although during Julian's lifetime the population was devastated by plague. In the 14th century Norwich had a population of about 10,000, which made it a big town by Medieval standards.
Julian described herself modestly as 'a simple creature, unlettered'. However she probably did have some education and some knowledge of theology. Julian was in her 70s when she died, which was unusual for that time.
During an illness in 1373 Julian of Norwich had a series of profound visions, which she later wrote about. Julian also devoted the rest of her life to prayer. Julian was an anchoress. In the Middle Ages an anchorite or anchoress was a person who devoted himself or herself to solitary prayer. (The word has nothing to do with anchors on ships, it comes from the Greek word anachoreo, which means to withdraw). Julian lived in a room or cell attached to the Church of St Julian in Norwich. Her cell had 3 windows, one opened onto the church so she could receive communion. One enabled her to speak to her assistant. The third allowed ordinary people to seek her spiritual advice or ask for her prayers.
Julian is famous for her book Revelations of Divine Love. Julian had an optimistic faith. She is best known for her saying 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well' and she said 'Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of his willingness'. Julian also said 'God showed me something as small as a hazel nut in the palm of my hand' She wondered what it was and God told her 'It is all that is made'. Julian also wrote about the 'motherhood' of God. She said 'As truly as God is our father so truly God is our mother'. Julian also said 'Between God and the soul there is no between'. Today Julian of Norwich is remembered as a Christian mystic.

A biography of Hildegard
Hildegard was a writer in the 12th century. She was born about 1098 in Germany. Hildegard came from an upper class family. She was one of ten children. When she was 15 Hildegard became a Benedictine nun. In 1136 when she was about 38 Hildegard became the abbess.
Hildegard claimed that she had visions from the time she was child. What caused them is uncertain.
Her first book was called Scito vias domini or Know the Ways of God. Hildegard completed it in 1151. It covered a huge number of theological subjects including the Church, angels, the Trinity, and the end of the world. Hildegard also wrote a morality play called Ordo Virtutum (order of the virtues).
Meanwhile in 1148 Hildegard announced that God had told her and the other nuns to move to a new location at Rupertsberg near Bingen. They moved about 1150.
As well as theology Hildegard was also interested in the natural world. She made no new discoveries herself but she wrote a compendium of knowledge about the natural world at the time called Physica. Hildegard also wrote a book about medicine called Causes and Cures.
As well as being a great writer Hildegard was also a composer. She composed a cycle of songs called the Symposia. Hildegard was also an abbess and she had to cope with the day to day running of a convent. However Hildegard only allowed girls from noble families to join her convent. In her view it was unnatural for the different classes of society to mix.
Hildegard died on 17 September 1179. She was aged about 81 (an extremely old age in those days). In the Middle Ages Hildegard was an influential woman. Even today Hildegard is remembered as a great scholar and mystic.

20th century women
In 1918 in Britain women over 30 were allowed to vote. More occupations were opened to women during the 20th century. In 1916 the first policewoman (with full powers) was appointed in Britain. The 1919 Sex Disqualification Removal Act allowed women to become lawyers, vets and civil servants. (The first female solicitor was Carrie Morrison in 1922). Also in 1922 Irene Barclay became the first female chartered surveyor.
Nevertheless in the early 20th century it was unusual for married women to work (except in wartime). However in the 1950s and 1960s it became common for them to do so - at least part-time. New technology in the home made it easier for women to do paid work. Before the 20th century housework was so time consuming married women did not have time to work. Manufacturing became less important and service industries grew creating more opportunities for women.
In 1970 in Britain the law was changed so women had to be paid the same wages as men for doing work of equal value. In 1973 women were admitted to the British stock exchange. From 1975 it was made illegal to sack women for becoming pregnant. Also in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act made it illegal to discriminate against women in employment, education and training. In 1984 a new law stated that equal pay must be given for work of equal value.

Greek Women
In a rich family the wife was expected to run the home and, sometimes, to manage the finances. However rich women would normally stay indoors and send slaves to do the shopping. Poor women, of course, had no choice. They might also have to help their husbands with farm work. Women, even rich ones, were expected to spin and weave cloth and make clothes.
Girls in Ancient Greece married when they were about 15. Marriages were arranged for them.
Sappho (6th century BC) was a famous Greek woman poet. Theano of Crotona (born c.546 BC) was a famous mathematician. About 150 BC Aglaonike was a woman astronomer.

Education for women in the 16th century and 17th century
In the early 16th century some upper class women were highly educated. Two of Henry VIII's wives, Katherine of Aragon and Catherine Parr were well educated. Queen Elizabeth I was also well educated and she liked reading. Wealthy girls learned music and dancing and needlework. They also learned to read and write and they learned languages like Greek and Latin, Spanish, Italian and French.
However towards the end of the 16th century girls spent less time on academic subjects and more time on skills like music and embroidery. Moreover during the 17th century boarding schools for girls were founded in many towns. In them girls were taught subjects like writing, music and needlework.

Women's work in the Middle Ages
In Saxon Times life for women was hard, rough and usually short. Upper class Saxon women had considerable freedom. Saxon women were allowed to own and inherit property and to make contracts. However most Saxon women had to work hard spinning and weaving, preparing food and drink and performing other tasks.
In the Middle Ages women spun wool and they did cooking and cleaning. Women washed clothes, baked bread, milked cows, fed animals, brewed beer and collected firewood! In the Middle Ages it was not unusual for middle class women to run their own businesses. In England the mystic Margery Kempe ran a brewery and later a horse mill, using horses to grind corn.
Some women became nuns but they too had to work hard. At least they did if they were from poor families. Class distinctions still applied in nunneries. Nuns from rich families were given the easiest work such as spinning wool and embroidery. www.localhistories.org/middle

History of Easter
The name Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon name for April, Eostermunath. It means the month of beginnings. In the early years of Christianity there was a dispute over the date of Easter. In 325 the Nicean Council decided it should be on the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox. That is why the date of Easter changes each year.
Friday is the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. It is called Good Friday because good meant holy. On that day we eat hot cross buns. The origins of hot cross buns are obscure but in pagan times people baked buns and offered them to the gods. Cross buns with the cross representing the cross of Jesus were first mentioned in the 18th century. In the early 19th century people sold hot cross buns in the street from stalls and so they became known as 'hot' cross buns.
The Easter bunny was originally a hare because hares were fertility symbols in the pagan religion and they continued to be associated with Easter after people were converted to Christianity. Because people in the USA were unfamiliar with hares the Easter hare became a rabbit.
In the Middle Ages Christians were forbidden to eat eggs during Lent (the forty days before Easter). Not surprisingly people were keen to eat eggs when Easter arrived! Some people also said that the egg represented the tomb of Jesus (Although long before Christianity eggs were a pagan symbol of fertility).
In the Middle Ages people painted Easter eggs red but by the 18th century people bought artificial eggs made of various materials to give as gifts at Easter. (Sometimes the artificial eggs contained gifts). Chocolate Easter eggs were first made in the 19th century.

Ancient Egyptian Women
In Ancient Egypt women had a great deal of freedom. They could come and go as they pleased. They could own property and they could sign contracts. However most women worked in the home. There was a great deal of work to do as most homes were largely self-sufficient. The woman made the families clothes and prepared food such as grinding grain to flour to make bread. In a rich family the woman was kept busy organizing the slaves.
The Egyptians had a goddess of reading and writing called Seshat.

Roman women's jobs
Roman women were allowed to own and inherit property and some ran businesses. (In the New Testament there is a woman named Lydia who sold purple cloth). In certain trades some women helped their husbands, especially in luxury trades like perfumery. Furthermore some women were priestesses or worked as midwives or hairdressers.

Womens jobs in the 16th century
In 1562 a law, the Statute of Artificers, made it illegal to employ a man or a woman in a trade unless they had served a 7 year apprenticeship. However in the case of women the law was often not enforced. Very often the guilds (who regulated trade) let male members employ their wives or daughters in their workshops. Furthermore if a craftsman died his widow often carried on his trade.
In the 16th century some women worked spinning cloth. Women were also tailors, milliners, dyers, shoemakers and embroiderers. There were also washerwomen.
Some women worked in food preparation such as brewers, bakers or confectioners. Women also sold foodstuffs in the streets. Furthermore a very common job for women in the 16th century was domestic servant. Other women were midwives.
However most women were housewives and they were kept very busy. Most men could not run a farm or a business without their wife's help.

Women's work in the 19th century
In early 19th century Britain working conditions were often appalling but parliament passed laws to protect women and children. In 1842 a law banned women and boys under 10 from working underground. Then in 1847 a Factory Act said that women and children could only work 10 hours a day in textile factories. In 1867 the law was extended to all factories. (A factory was defined as a place where more than 50 people were employed in a manufacturing process). An act of 1878 said women in any factories could not work more than 56 hours a week.
Meanwhile in the 19th century being a domestic servant was a common job for women.
In 1874 the first successful typewriter went on sale and the telephone was invented in 1876. These two new inventions meant more job opportunities for women. In the late 19th century new technology created more jobs for women. Ultimately technological and economic change transformed the lives of women.
In Britain the first woman to qualify as a dentist was Lilian Lindsay in 1895. The first woman to qualify as an architect in Britain was Ethel Charles in 1898.
Two famous women of the 19th century were Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. They reformed nursing. In the early 19th century Elizabeth Fry did much to reform prisons.
There were also many famous women writers in the 19th century. Among them were Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans).

John Billington
John Billington is notorious because he was the first man to be executed in North America for murder. Billington traveled to the New World in 1620, with his wife Eleanor and two sons, John and Francis on board The Mayflower.
But from the start John Billington seems to have been a bad character. In March 1621 after speaking out against Captain Miles Standish he was convicted of contempt. Then in 1624 he took part in a rebellion against the Plymouth Church.
Finally in 1630 John Billington shot a man named John Newcomen after an argument. Newcomen was hit in the shoulder and died. Afterwards Billington was tried by a jury and found guilty of murder. John Billington was hanged in Plymouth, Massachusetts on 30 September 1630. John Billigton predeceased his father but Francis Billington lived until 1684.
