Room 77 – Opponents and dissidents in the 70's and 80's. The panels in this room present the exceptions from a country that was reduced to silence and submission: Goma and the SLOMR movement, the brave actions of Doina Cornea, Vasile Paraschiv and other opponents of communism from various towns and environments, the “propaganda against the communist organization” carried out by dozens of young people, including Radu Filipescu, the sacrifice of engineer Gheorghe Ursu, and the publication of the clandestine România magazine by a group of brave journalists (Petre Mihai Băcanu, Mihai Creangă, Anton Uncu, Alexandru Chivoiu).
Sighet Memorial Museum, part of the Memorial of the Victims of Communism and of the Resistance (Memorialul Victimelor Comunismului şi al Rezistenţei), was created on the basis of the former Sighet prison in 1993, restoration was completed in 2000. Each prison cell became a museum room, presenting the chronology and the different aspects of the totalitarian system in Communist Romania. We visited the museum in August 2015.
Máramarosszigeti börtönmúzeum, a kommunizmus romániai áldozatainak emlékhelye. A múzeumot 1993-ban alapították, az épület felújítása 2000-re fejeződött be. Az egyes cellákban mutatják be a kommunizmus történetét és egyes aspektusait. 2015. augusztusában jártunk a családdal, észak-erdélyi kirándulásunk alkalmával.
Sighet Prison was built in 1897 by the Austro-Hungarian authorities, on the occasion of the “First Magyar Millennium”. After 1918, it functioned as a prison for common criminals. After 1945, the repatriation of former prisoners and deported persons from the Soviet Union was done through Sighet. In August 1948 it became a place of imprisonment for a group of students, pupils and peasants from Maramures, some of whom still live in Sighet. On 5 and 6 May 1950 over one hundred dignitaries from the whole country were brought to the Sighet penitentiary (former ministers, academics, economists, military officers, historians, journalists, politicians), some of them convicted to heavy punishments, others not even judged. The majority were more than 60 years old. In October-November 1950, 45-50 bishops and Greek-Catholic and Roman-Catholic priests were transported to Sighet. The penitenciary was considered a "special work unit", known under the name of "Danube colony", but in reality was a place of extermination for the country's elites and at the same time a safe place, not possible to escape from, the frontier of the Soviet Union being less than two kilometres away. The prisoners were kept in unwholesome conditions, miserably fed, and stopped from lying down during the day on the beds in the unheated cells. They were not allowed to look out of the windows (those who disobeyed were punished by being forced to sit in the "black" and "grey", lock-up type cells, with no light). Finally, shutters were placed on the windows, so that only the sky was visible. Humility and ridicule were part of the extermination programme. In 1955, following the Geneva Convention and the admission of communist Romania (RPR) to the UN, some pardons were granted. Some of the political prisoners in Romanian prisons were set free and some transferred to other places, while others were kept under house arrest At Sighet, out of around 200 prisoners, 52 had died. The prison once again became an ordinary law one. However, political prisoners continued to appear in the following years, and many were kept secretly in the local psychiatric hospital. In 1977, the prison was closed, and the buildings were turned into a broom factory and salt warehouse, finally becoming an abandoned ruin.

A new national strategy, one of the first in the world, is being developed to tackle loneliness and isolation.
The draft plan, now open for consultation, will look at the causes of social isolation and loneliness and how they can be addressed.
Views are also being sought on how communities can build on the work of the Scottish Government, and lead on ensuring those at risk of becoming lonely or isolated have access to the right support networks.
Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman launched the draft strategy and consultation on a visit to the Hidden Gardens Project in Pollokshields.

This is the Trojan nuclear cooling tower when it was demolished in 2006. It was hard getting a spot to take a photo from with thousands of other people who had lined the roadway to get a view.
even Sammi partakes in being enviromentally friendly by using a paper bag as a toy.

Pictures taken at Fenny Poppers Festival 2021 - reduced in scope due to COVID
The Fenny Poppers are six small ceremonial canons ( cast iron mugs stuffed with gunpowder) which are fired ceremonially at various points of the year
The poppers each weigh about 19 pounds (8.5kg). The bore, 6” by 1”(152mm x 44mm) will take one ounce (28g) of gunpowder, which is plugged with well rammed newspaper.
The poppers ( 6 in total) were re-cast in 1859, after one of them burst. They are still used today and they were recently examined and found to be safe to use
