I like Swedish fish! Don't think they can swim though. Wouldn't want to be on mop duty. BARBE HALCRO Barbe Halcro here treated is not the same person as Barbara Halcro According to the late Roland William Saint-Clair's report of the Nobles of Sweden, Barbe Halcro here treated is the daughter of Sir Hugh Halcro.This information was evidently provided by her son, Lietenant Colonel David Sinclair, when he was admitted to the Swedish College of Nobles in 1655. Roland William Saint-Claire cited entry number 626. The Saint-Clairs of the Isles, p. 317 When he speaks of the Swedish College of Nobles Roland William Sinclair was probably refering to the House of Nobility, in Swedish the Riddarhuset a palace and an organisation for the nobles in Sweden, whose objective is to preserve, maintain, and shield a historical heritage. Death If Barbara Halcro here treated was the wife of William Sinclair of Saba, as has been suggested by the late Roland William Saint-Clair's report, then she must have died before 18 October 1615, the date upon which William Sinclair of Saba and his wife Jean Gordon had a charter for the lands of Cowbister and Smowgrow in the Orkney parish of Orphir. NRS., GD106/137 Marriage According to the late Roland William Saint-Clair's report of the Nobles of Sweden, Barbe Halcro married William Sinclair, Master of Seba and Brobster. The Saint-Clairs of the Isles, p. 317 This suggests that she and her husband were married during the lifetime of John Sinclair of Tullhop, her father-in-law, who was alive on 3 November 1593 NRS: GD1/45/15 but probably died before 18 October 1615.

Florida man who strapped his entire house down ahead of Hurricane Milton becomes internet sensation dailymail.co.uk resident Mohammed Nijem recently went viral for his Milton preparations He placed six enormous straps around his one-story home The ropes went over the roof and attached into the ground on both sides By LILLIAN GISSEN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 16:29 EDT, 9 October 2024 \| UPDATED: 21:30 EDT, 9 October 2024 A man who strapped his entire house down ahead of the Florida hurricane has become an internet sensation thanks to the 'legendary' idea. Tampa resident Mohammed Nijem recently went viral after local news outlet Spectrum Bay News 9 shared an image to X, formerly Twitter, of the extreme preparations that he took ahead of Hurricane Milton. Mohammed placed six enormous straps around his one-story home in a bid to keep it from washing or blowing away when the storm hits. The bright yellow straps went over the roof and attached into the ground on both sides. Tampa resident Mohammed Nijem strapped his entire house down ahead of the Florida hurricane 'Viewer Mohammed Nijem is getting prepped for Hurricane Milton,' the publication wrote, alongside a photo of his contraption. The post, which was viewed more than 1.8 million times, left many social media users fascinated. Some said they were impressed with his efforts, branding him as a 'legend' and praising him for 'thinking outside the box.' Others admitted that they were now invested and needed to know if his idea actually worked. 'This is the most Florida thing I've ever seen,' one person joked. 'Everyone is laughing now, but this man will be a legend when all the other houses are floating down the road and he's sitting in his new living room swimming pool watching TV powered by a Starlink terminal,' wrote someone else. 'I actually respect the effort. I hope it is effective,' added another user. 'He's thinking outside the box, need more folks like him…' read a fourth tweet. A fifth said, 'Bro secured his house like a piano when moving. Absolute legend.' He became an internet sensation thanks to the 'legendary' idea, as many social media users said they were impressed with his efforts 'Gangster move,' someone else simply tweeted. 'I mean maybe he's on to something,' said a different user. Hurricane Milton has already started to impact Florida, bringing rain and high winds on its steady and potentially catastrophic march toward the west coast of Florida. Forecasters expect Milton to make landfall at about 11pm EST as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130mph. The greatest danger is posed by the wall of water, known as a storm surge, that Milton will whip up - which forecasters now believe will be a record-breaking 12 feet in height. Authorities have issued mandatory evacuation orders across 11 Florida counties with a population of about 5.9 million people - and warned that anyone staying behind must fend for themselves.
