Nothing can stay hidden forever... Mary Lidstone and Sheila Yabsley grew up in Kingsbridge, Devon, an area of outstanding natural beauty. As teenagers, all they yearned for was the excitement of 'Swinging London'. They had a very close bond that was strengthened when they both passed the 11-Plus. They recognised that this was their ticket to ride out of their lowly council house beginnings, as they quickly moved to London. Despite being close, they kept secrets from each other. When Mary's son Ben made front page news as an eco-warrior, a connection was made between them resulting in news headlines Worldwide. At a retreat holiday in Skyros, they began to uncover each other's past. Sheila had three painful secrets she shared in the therapeutic sessions. These were a bombshell for Mary, who although made some revelations of her own, still refused to name who Ben's father was. When back in London Mary made front page news by having a glass of champagne thrown in her face by the famous new wife of Ben's father. Mary spent three months hiding from the Press and having a nervous breakdown. When she recovered, she left London to live the sweet life in Spain but returned to England to see Shelia and discover one final truth.

Much has been written about the beautiful game of football and, to paraphrase Bill Shankly, for some, football is more serious than life and death.The 1926 General Strike in Britain and the impact on coal mining communities, has been researched thoroughly and has, rightly, highlighted the deprivation, famine, and hardships endured. Here we find the official minutes, written contemporaneously by the secretary, of a football club formed in the North East of England in August 1926 at the height of the strike in a mining community. As such this is a valuable primary source for historians.Alongside the minutes is context for the story from historical records to follow the team's fortunes during their first important season. This is not a story of hardship or self-pity; it is a sunny and uplifting tale and a rich example of the power and reach of football to sustain a community in times of austerity with lemons at half time and plenty of cups of tea. These minutes and the context in which they were written prove that any story about football is never just about football.

Trade finance will remain an important component of international financial flows. Historically trade finance has tended to be highly vulnerable in times of crises. The global financial crisis in 2008-2009 and particularly the disproportionate drop in trade push the interest of the economists to the issues of trade finance. The market of trade finance proved to be vulnerable to financial shocks. The lower access to secure, proper and cost-effective trade financing can stop the potential for trade to function as a vector of economic growth. The COVID-19 crisis is additionally sharpening the barriers in trade finance and in a number of strategic and important directions from the economic development. The uncertainties as a result from the pandemic provoke greater demand for trade finance products. It is supposed that the effects will be stronger than the consequences following the global financial crisis due to the extensive and deep economic effects of COVID-19.

Why would an off-duty policeman be certain he's delivered this blue-eyed new-born before, and yet pictures slightly different circumstances in which he had failed to save it? What compels a 7-year-old blue-eyed girl to pen an anonymous letter to a man she briefly spies and knows nothing about, but recognises his voice from years before? How can a teenaged boy be convinced he has shared a destiny with a chance blue-eyed girl whose name he doesn't know? And who vehemently claims she doesn't know him, and they've never met. Could unique sets of blue eyes hold the key? Is it possible that three random strangers are visualising these and that they are connecting together in moments of time past, present and future? Our Anomaly returns to complete its mission. Bringing the odyssey full circle.

The Charter of Oswy and Leoflede, by which in times past the Manor of Wisbech was gifted to Ely Abbey, has been lying forgotten and gathering dust for centuries. Now suddenly, it seems, everyone is interested in it. In 1190 a wave of fire and theft begins to spread through Wisbech, bringing death in its wake. The seneschal for the Isle of Ely arrives to investigate, but the harder he searches, the more elusive the truth becomes. And everywhere heturns, the legend surrounding the ancient charter seems to follow. The vast wilderness of the medieval Fen is still untamed, and for local folk the horrors of the Norman Invasion have never quite gone away. Beneath the town that lies in the shadow of the great Norman castle runs an undercurrent of tension, where the old world battles with the new. The seneschal is about to discover how badly those old wounds fester.

Am No' Ready for That, by Pauline Kennedy - A relatable family tale, with dark twists and no-nonsense Scottish humour. Originally started in 2017, as a personal handwritten journal, when our mother was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and... well... here we are! If this life story was a journey on the Flying Scotsman, the train departs from yesteryear station where laundry will be aired, continues through the 1980s and 90s, chugs over the next three decades and terminates at 'present day'. Remember to visit the station's gift shop and purchase the obligatory 'see you Jimmy' wigs or 'I heart Scotland' t-shirts. 'Passengers' are invited to peruse a collection of short stories post-diagnosis, the cast of which the reader will be all too familiar with. It's an honest peek behind the net curtain into a life of a family dealing with a subject matter that directly and unwillingly affects ten million people... worldwide. The final product is this memoir in honour of the 'wee wumin wi' the white hair'. A remarkable individual we are proud to call mum (and many other nouns... under our breaths). Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster and above everything else, enjoy the ride! Scream if you wanny go faster! If not, Haud yer Wheest.

I am a Nigerian journalist educated in Nigeria and England in the 1960's where I practised briefly and had the privilege to cover the Nigerian constitutional conference for a local newspaper. That period can now be described as the golden period in Nigerian history. Empathy, decency, and humanity still existed in our national life then. When I came back to Nigeria during the same period, The first assignment given to me was to go into the Yoruba hinterland to get an old woman whose son, living in America was seriously ill and needed an organ donor. She immediately volunteered as a donor. She was brought to Lagos, celebrated, and crowned, the woman of the YEAR. I was later employed by the ministry of information as soon as the civil war started and I was posted to the documentation unit to document activities at the war front. That was a very traumatic period in our national life. When I became the chairperson of media women in Lagos, we decided to give an award to exceptional leaders. The first person to win the award for advancing the lots of girl children In a very innovative and effective way was general David Mark, the Governor of Niger State at the time. I have always believed in the policy of acknowledging good and bad deeds. I was happy to live throughout that period in our national life as a journalist and a woman activist I was the publicity secretary of the National Council of Women Societies, NCWS and a member and the Executive director of the award-winning film for the Better life programme, 'THE JOURNEY SO FAR'. The Better Life Programme was the brainchild of the then-first lady of Nigeria, Mrs Maryam Babangida. Those activities gave me another opportunity to visit every state and many villages all over the country and experience the beauty and diversity of a wonderful country like no other in the world. The country then was still very happy, full of joy and celebrations. Unfortunately, Nigeria has become a nation of pain, hunger, and sorrow, where human lives mean nothing, law and order have broken down and the whole country has been thrown to the dogs. Even the security convoy of the President has been attacked and several security operatives werereportedly killed. The greatest insult of all was when they arrogantly threatened to kidnap the president The nation has definitely gone to the dog.I eventually retired from public service as the Director General of the National Film and Video Census Board.

'I'm a duck out of water.' The words that sprang from Mum's lips sent shivers through me as I sat with her in the lounge of her new care home. Little did I know that she would feel this way for years to come. Our perception of care homes is often restricted to a few extremes: a peaceful haven administered by caring angels, the boredom of 'God's waiting room', or the horrors uncovered by TV documentaries. The truth is that care home life works well for some, but for others the experience can be nothing short of traumatic. This book is my account of Mum's dementia and our experience of the complexities of the care system. As you read it you will encounter a heart-warming, but often heartbreaking, story of how we navigated care home life together.

The confessional break which touched the Christian West in the XVIth century permanently revolutionised the place of the clergy societies and their influence on the faithful. The original principle of Lutheranism, then reforms of the Swiss type, from the universal priesthood was broadly relativised by the progressive placing of a protestant clergy, but it opened upa gap that can be followed at the time of the controversies and which continues to fix a fundamental difference between the two camps. However, reciprocal influences and contacts are observable in the areas of confessional co-existence: the spaces of frontiers can appear as privileged observatories in order to include the reciprocal influences between the clergy, up to interpreting in their own way and considering the pastoral ministry as well as to forge their professional and social identities. The training of the clergy, their organisation, the op[positions which they must confront, their interactions, even the sociabilities of their members are studied here through very diverse practices (preaching, conferences and controversies, erudite sociabilities, missions, institutional control, liturgical practices, repression of deviance, or even definition of concurrent memories). These case studies plunge us into the process of definition of clerical identities which are certainly constituted against the other side, but also, more subtly, in terms of the other side and on common foundations.

As an Asperger Syndrome "sufferer", life for Guy Blythman has not been easy, if anything because his condition leaves his rational faculties, and his ability to empathise, intact; but it has certainly been interesting. Here he tells his story, the funny moments as well as the sad, the sublime as well as the ridiculous. Though many of his experiences have been the same as others' it serves as a commentary on how a society supposedly concerned with equality and diversity actually treats those who are different. But if you want light(?) relief there are the difficulties with girls, the kinky cats, the recalci- trant gas fitters, et al...
