Does it seem that Cistercians might agree with Dominicans and that Benedictines might agree with Franciscans in the three-way tale of Dominicans, Franciscans and Jesuits about hell?

Subsistence culture in Western Scotland and Ireland. Combine crops, fishing and hunting.

No, I had Maureen with me, so I played it safe and went back to shore

My university has an outing club that includes water activities, such as boating and kayaking, on its lake. Water activities involved balmy- and bad-weather certifications.

Much as I like boating, canoeing and kayaking bad weather and their currents menace me such that I rarely move around alone in navigable waters.

Were you alone with those Loch Ness currents?

Seal meat and skins correlate in my mind more with Inuit culture than with British, English, Gaelic, Irish, Norse, Scottish cultures.

What culture did the seal hunters of Flannan isle embrace?

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Celtic cross, advises us that "A major influence upon Irish monasticism was Egyptian Christianity, which seems to have reached Ireland before St Patrick did, as Patrick was sent to the Britons who believe in Christ in the island of Ireland, implying that Christians were there already. Scholars believe that St Kevin, founder of Glendalough Abbey in Wicklow, antedates Patrick."

English Wikipedia dates St. Kevin as born in 498 and dying Jun 3, 618.

Does Christian tradition defer to St. Kevin as dying as a 120-year-old?

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Yazidis, advises us of the latter as followers of "Melek Taur, the Peacock Angel."

English Wikipedia associates Yazidis biogeographically with Kurdistan areas of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

Is the Yazidi population on friendly, neutral or unfriendly terms with Zoroastrian populations there?

The order of the peerage, starting from the bottom: bayonet, baron (Lord or lady), viscount, earl or he equivalent of a count, duke, royal duke, which is a title only held by members of the royal family, Prince, Queenie Prince consort, sovereign.

The collapse does not always affect all the bog at once. The collapse is often a slow procee, so the Brontes were lucky enough to be away from the place where the collapse started.avalanches and bog collapses are similar, though the avalanche is the faster.

How does one make one's own luck amid or near bog collapse? Does it come down to jumping high or running away fast enough?

Online sources lack any information apart the article Donegal: Peat landslide linked to wind farm raised in Dáil by Conor Macauley for BBC online Nov. 18, 2020. That article perhaps looks at bog collapses as landslides.

So would avalanches and bog collapses and landslides be similar?

Rising to higher peerage levels likewise catches my attention.

What might prompt a higher-level title? For example, might it be money-based -- an invention or something that moves millions or billions or trillions of pounds into the British Isles ;-D -- or service-based?

The first paragraph to the second subheading, Oil paintings, mentions the Furstenfeldbruck artist colony.

Might the artists have made their homes from new-constructed buildings or pre-existing structures? And might there be an extant Otto Kubel house there?
