Last 29th February the Teatro Principal de Palma hosted the institutional act to commemorate the Day of the Balearic Islands.
In business field, the Ramon Llull Award honors posthumously Mr Bernardo Pons Casals.
From young age, he began working in the family business, Metalurgia Pons, which was initially a jewelry enterprise. It was however with the First World War that the company was reconfigured into a hinge factory, exporting nowadays its products to more than 40 countries all over the world.
As per the Government, "Bernardo Pons Casals transferred to the current managers, his sons Isabel and Bernardo, the passion and the philosophy with which the company continues being one of the most firm values within Menorca and the Balearic Islands".

PRAGUE, Czech Republic- I gave my two-year-old daughter a mohawk. That was my first act of daddy daycare.
That's what my kids are calling this month. I'm taking care of my two girls — 8 and 2 years old — alone while my wife goes to school. She's doing a year long program that consists of four month-long modules in Prague. My commitment is to watch the kids on my own during these terms.
While I have always been an active parent this is the first time that I will be the primary caregiver. Usually my wife handles that task and I do my work.
I've been looking upon this time with excitement and, I must admit, trepidation. It sounds like fun but I have more work than what I can finish even during the easiest of times where I can work from morning to night without distraction. To throw taking care of two kids all day long into the mix is to basically throw everything else overboard.
I can give them mohawks and do whatever we want. We have all of Prague before us each day.

Q: How do accept multiple authentication options in Apache? I want to protect a path in my VirtualHost but allow users a variety of authentication options (e.g. mod-auth-cas, mod-auth-openid and mod-auth-digest.)  How do I set up the virtual host definition to allow multiple auth-types for the same location?

A: The problem with multiple authentication types is they tend to have irreconcilable protocols.  You can try the technique shown in the Shibboleth documentation, where you put everything in a subdirectory, create a symlink to that directory for each authentication type you want to support, then configure each symlink location for a different authentication type.
<Location /basic>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
    require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /cas>
    AuthType CAS
    require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /openid>
    AuthOpenIDEnabled On
    require valid-user
</Location>

A: i had the almost same situation, solved like the following:
at server config level, in the apache2.conf (assuming Debian based distros)
<AuthnProviderAlias method1 auth1_name  >
# config options
# ...
</AuthnProviderAlias>

<AuthnProviderAlias method2 auth2_name  >
# config options
# ...
</AuthnProviderAlias>

in the Virtual Host specific conf file:
<VirtualHost *>
# config options
# ...

<Location /your_location>
# config options
AuthBasicProvider auth1_name auth2_name
# other needed config options
# ...
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

in this way you can use different authorization/authentication methods with different names in the same Location directive for differnt VirtualHosts
more details of my solution in a short blog post: link text
HTH, ciao :)
Gianluca

A: Have you tried "Satisfy Any" ?

A: Another solution is to differentiate authentication based on the content of the HTTP header with  clause:
 <If "%{HTTP:Authorization} =~ /^Basic/">
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
   Require valid-user
 </If>
 <Elseif "%{HTTP:Authorization} =~ /^Bearer/">
   AuthOpenIDEnabled On
   Require valid-user
 </Elseif>
 <Else>
   AuthType CAS
   Require valid-user
 </Else>

The Government has announced that it intends to review Part L of the Building Regulations in the winter of 2018/9. This was first included in the Clean Growth Strategy in October 2017, subject to the outcome of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, which reported in May 2018. As part of its Industrial Strategy Grand Challenges, the Government has also set the ambition to "at least halve the energy use of new buildings by 2030". Beyond these statements of intent however, it has not formally announced such a review and what its scope will be.
CIBSE would like the upcoming review of Building Regulations to be as well-informed and effective as possible. We have therefore been consulting with members and the wider industry on changes they would like to see, and the speed with which these should be implemented. The Building Regulations Part L & F Briefing Paper expresses CIBSE's recommendations for Government, informed by views from members received at workshops held on 2nd October 2018 (CIBSE event) and on 18th October 2018 (with the London Energy Transformation Initiative) and through separate communications. In addition to essential issues to be addressed now, it includes issues which we recommend government to start to address now in readiness for the next review, expressed as:
Immediate-term: this review i.e. 2019 implementation
Medium term: 2nd review, and possibly also the 3rd
Long-term: 3rd or 4th review – by 2030.
This Building Regulations Part L & F Briefing Paper therefore provides both immediate recommendations for the anticipated review, and a forward programme for the evolution of Building Regulations Part L and Part F (and associated Approved Documents) towards the targets set out in longer term policy statements and the requirements of future Carbon Budgets as set in accordance with the Climate Change Act.
CIBSE has also produced an additional briefing paper on Steps to net zero carbon buildings. This paper summarises CIBSE recommendations on the changes required to the regulation of energy use and carbon emissions from buildings in the UK, and how this should be reflected in Part L of Building Regulations as part of the 2019/2020 review and subsequent ones, and in other relevant regulations. It builds on previous CIBSE work, consultation with the industry, and the work of other bodies, including in particular the recent reports of the Committee on Climate Change and the BEIS Select Committee inquiry into energy efficiency.

Junta confident that more direct flights between Andalucía and USA will be on the way soon
United Airlines has already announced that its new route between Malaga and New York will be launched on 31 May 2023 and continue all summer until the end of September
PILAR MARTÍNEZ MADRID. Monday, 23 January 2023, 11:09
Negotiations with airlines to expand connections between Andalucía and the United States - specifically, to Miami and Houston - are on the right track, revealed the Junta de Andalucía's Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Arturo Bernal, speaking exclusively to SUR during the last day for tourism professionals at the Fitur international travel fair in Madrid last week.
What's more, Bernal said, "I think we are going to have results soon because obviously when we have the first window open, such as the route from Malaga to New York, the interest of other airlines will be aroused and [they will] consider moving here. I think we can be satisfied with the work that has been done so far, but we are talking in a discreet tone and I think we must continue to do that."

Bernal explained that Asia Pacific, Central Asia, the Middle East and especially North America markets "are the great areas in which we have to have development and, of course, connectivity associated with that development".
But he pointed out, "We are looking for long-term relationships, aware that in the first years that we make these efforts we are not going to have the expected returns in Asia and the Pacific, but it is true that whoever strikes first, strikes twice. We have to have that top position in those markets as soon as possible. It is not possible to think that by magic we are going to have a direct flight with China, Singapore or Malaysia. The airlines need to have a flow of travellers who want to visit our region."
Previously, in an interview with SUR, Bernal outlined the Junta's new strategy of merging tourism with culture and sport and to conquer the more distant markets.
In the field of culture, Bernal indicated that in the coming weeks he will announce projects "that will impress the public and the entire ecosystem that makes up tourism, culture and sport".
Regarding sport, he pointed out that if 140 high-level events were held last year, in 2023 there will be 150, including the Solheim Cup and the Davis Cup final. "With all this. Andalucía is always in the mind not only of Spain but of the world. Every two and a half days there is going to be a major sporting event in Andalucía and that generates a great awareness of the brand," he added.
The Andalusian pavilion at last week's Fitur travel fair was expected to exceed the 31,000 professional visitors recorded in 2019, with more than 4,000 scheduled meetings. On Saturday it also welcomed families who wanted to learn more about the region's offer.

A: I assume that you started Fitnesse server ok. And you are working on a Fitnesse wiki page and your test fixture.
The connection reset happens when your test is trying to connect a web server but it's failed. You may need to debug your test to see what it is connecting.
I put a guideline link for reference.

Supplementary Charge
Supplementary Charge (SC) applies to ring fence profits accruing from 17 April 2002. The current rate of SC is 10% which has been reduced from 20% with effect from 1 January 2016.
The rate of SC has undergone a number of changes over the years reflecting the oil and gas economic climate at the time. The rate was originally 10% in 2002, was increased to 20% in 2006, and to 32% in respect of profits accruing after 23 March 2011, until the rate was reduced back to the pre-2011 level of 20% for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The rate was further reduced to 10% for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Relief for decommissioning expenditure for work undertaken after 21 March 2012 was however limited to 20% in the periods when the rate exceeded the 20% threshold. This is achieved by grossing up the profits otherwise subject to SC by a fraction of the amount by which the profits have been reduced by decommissioning costs.
The tax base of profits subject to SC is the ring fence profits of the company chargeable to Corporation Tax after removing financing costs and deducting any Field, Cluster, or Investment allowances available.
The profits of the company subject to SC can be reduced by Field, Cluster and Investment Allowances once the relevant allowance has been activated. Until 1 April 2015, there had been eight different Field Allowances; however, Finance Act 2015 introduced a unified Investment Allowance which has replaced the majority of other Field Allowances. Details of these allowances can be found under Field and Investment Allowances.
SC is payable in instalments together with Corporation Tax.

Q: Boundary of Closure Let $X$ be a topological space. I know it is not generally true $\partial A=\partial{\overline {A}}$ for every $A\subset X$. I found it is true if $A$ is a closed ($A=\overline A)$or regularly open set($A=A^{o}=(\overline A)^{o}$). Any other subset of $X$ with different properties satisfying $\partial A=\partial{\overline {A}}$?  Is it generally true $(\partial A)^o=\emptyset$ for all $A\subset X$? Thank you. Notation: $\partial A=$ Boundary points of $A$ $\overline A=$ Closure of $A$$A^{o}=$Interior of $A$

A: It is not generally true that boundaries have empty interior.  In $\mathbb R$ (with the usual topology), the boundary of $\mathbb Q$ is all of $\mathbb R$.

A: As for all possible equations $\xi_1(A)=\xi_2(A)$ where the $\xi_i$ are each formed by composing the boundary, closure, interior, and complement operators any number of times in any order the answer to your first question "Any other subset of $X$ with different properties satisfying $\partial A=\partial{\overline {A}}?$" turns out to be "no" up to trivial substitutions such as $A^{o}=X\setminus\overline{(X\setminus A)}.$
The proof is long. Most of it appears in a paper I will be posting within the next several weeks (my last-minute literature search is what brought me here).
Also, note that
$$\partial A=\partial{\overline {A}}\iff A^{o}={\big(\,\overline A\,\big)}^{o}\iff{\big(\,\overline A\,\big)}^{o}\subseteq A\iff\partial A\subseteq X\setminus{\big(\,\overline A\,\big)}^{o}.$$

'Oak Lea Fire Outrage, Barrow-in-Furness' 1913. Edward Sankey

Oak Lea Fire Outrage
Written by Wendy Kolbe
Oak Lea, described as a beautifully situated mansion standing in the centre of Sowerby woods (Roanhead turnoff) had stood empty since the death of Mr. H.W. Schneider, Barrows' 'Ironmaster', in 1887.
An alarm was raised on the night of 9th May 1913 as the occupants of the lodge discovered a fire, "One mass of flames", and the whole building was destroyed, though Barrow Fire Brigade fought overnight to quell the blaze.
Arson was suspected when footprints corresponding to a female shoe were found in the house and arrows were noticed chalked on stones outside, leading to a copy of 'The Suffragette' being found in the grounds, wrapped around a piece of lead. Suffragettes were known to be active in Barrow with chemicals being put in pillar boxes and telegraph lines being cut in Dalton as part of a militant campaign.
Damage was estimated at £10,000 and Elizabeth Grew, secretary of the Barrow Branch of Suffragettes claimed responsibility, declaring herself to be a 'rebel' and saying that she was, 'Frankly pleased', with the destruction.
The Rev. Edwin Mould, vicar of St. James' Church and a supporter of the Suffragette movement was noted as saying of the event, "Men were often selfish beings and it was force and force only that would make them yield to the demands of right and justice".
Following the fire there were lively scenes and hostility as a Suffragette meeting was held at the triangle of the Scotch buildings which stood in Duke Street. Elizabeth Grew, organiser of Women's Social and Political Union, and others addressed 500 people but were forced to leave as stones were thrown and they were 'rushed' by Hindpool women.
Location the Oak Lea building originally stood.

Lastly, in the modern world, it is no more the advantage of certain individuals. The human style begins to emerge when people attempt to do a details point to serve their living.

Different colours, dimensions, and selections of tulips were amazing. The program pattern depends on a longitudinal frame and also is rather typical.

SOME SAY THE WORLD WILL END IN FIRE by Vic Sizemore
A few years ago, I stood sweating in my yard Saturday morning and I thought of my dead sister Sylvie's predictions about the climate apocalypse. The massive oak in my neighbor's yard had broken about twelve feet up the trunk and fallen on my roof. At eight in the morning, the temperature was eighty-seven and heading toward a high of 106 for the fifth day in a row. We had no power, and word was that it would be out for at least a week. Another tree had smashed through the back fence and filled the back yard with a sudden jungle of limbs and leaves. It stretched all the way across until its small top branches rested bent and broken on the far fence. The wind-torn trees were ripped open and twisted. My wife Ginny and I walked the yard to survey the damage.
"If nothing else," Ginny said, "it smells good."
She was right. It smelled like fresh-cut firewood, like a high school wood shop.
Strange iridescent green insects flitted around, bugs who must normally live their entire existences up in the tops of those trees where we never see them. Knocked from their nests, baby squirrels swarmed the felled tree branches; small as hamsters they skittered and chirped and chased one another in confused play. There must have been forty of them. They were gone in a matter of days, I don't know where, but I have an idea—our neighborhood is not short on cats.
Sylvie hated cats. She wanted to get rid of them. "They aren't natural to the ecosystem," she told me. "They are on a relentless campaign of bird murder."
Trees and power poles were down all over town. So many roads were blocked it took Ginny and me two hours to find a way to the grocery store, only to discover the manager out front waving people away because their power was out too. Cars smashed, houses collapsed around tree trunks. Three deaths that I heard of, people crushed inside their homes.
The weather event that caused all this wreckage was a derecho (Spanish for direct or straight ahead). I had never heard of a derecho, and tornados are extremely rare here in Central Virginia—flooding is our regional disaster. This new, extreme and unrelenting heat created conditions right for this straight-on windstorm that blasted across the eastern U.S. at 80 to 100 miles per hour. The oak was on the roof right above Ginny and my bedroom. I could hear Sylvie's voice in my head saying, "See?" and "Do you believe me now?"
One evening when Ginny and I took Sylvie some matzo ball soup I'd made from mom's recipe—except I used Saltines because it's what I had handy—all she wanted to talk about was this damn article she'd given me to read about global warming. Statistics. Global catastrophe. Doom and gloom of biblical proportions. Weather out of control. People out of control.
Finally I said, "Syl, can we just shut up, eat soup and watch TV?"
She looked at me, imploring me with her earnest eyes, her bruised eyes that were sinking into her skull. "Don't you get it?" she yelled right into my face. Her breath was hot, coppery and cancer-rotten. "It's close, closer than anyone knows."
Ginny said, "Well, tonight we're sitting her together eating soup and watching TV."
"Who knows," Syl said, smoothing her blanket over her legs. "I might even live long enough to see it."
Sylvie had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL in the literature). By the time she got around to getting the swollen glands checked, and they did the whole chemo and Rituxan thing, it had metastasized, was in her stomach, which everyone knows is a death sentence. Sylvie was so sick that we kept a full glass of water by her bed because barfing the water immediately back up was less unpleasant than dry heaving.
Ginny made more sacrifices than I did. She used up her personal and sick days at work, and then took unpaid leave to help mom care for Sylvie.
Five months after the diagnosis, my sister was a walking skeleton, when she did walk. She was often too tired. Mostly she sat on pillows, under dirty pilled blankets, in dad's old easy chair at mom's house, books and journal articles and videos about global warming scattered around her. She hadn't long to live, but she was determined to use every minute of it preaching her environmental gospel.
One day she shoved an article at me that she had torn out of a Rolling Stone from a stack in her doctor's office, by Bill McKibben, called "The Reckoning." The red and black picture accompanying the article is what looks like an Easter Island head facing up, sinking into a charred earth, breathing a solid flow of numbers in or out of its open mouth. Behind the head, the world is engulfed in flames, oilrigs rise on the red horizon, trees are leafless and dead. Everything is ruined. Yellow flames lap at the face. There are no people. The lead in: "Climate change has some scary new math…three simple numbers…global catastrophe…"
Syl had passages highlighted for me, had created hysterical marginalia for my further enlightenment. McKibben writes that the "acceptable" gigatons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, 565, will raise global temperatures by two degrees, which doesn't sound like much, but will change the shape of continents, make entire island nations disappear, make the weather go bat shit crazy. However, the actual gigatons already in the big oil companies' reserves for sale, 2,795, will increase the global temperature by eleven degrees and "create a planet straight out of science fiction."
Sylvie was nonreligious at the end of her life. She'd left the church yet again, which I was glad of because she could be a little self-righteous and Ginny and I were spending so much time over there. Mom needed the help because she is not well herself; we'll be starting the routine over, taking care of her before long. I swear it seemed like her decrepitude accelerated after Sylvie's death.
One other evening before Sylvie died, we were settling in for a few hours of TV, and I said, "I'm making a rule for tonight. Nobody can mention global warming."
Ginny and Mom both said, "Deal."
"If you see someone in a boat heading for a waterfall and you don't yell and warn them, what kind of person does that make you?" Sylvie said.
Mom got up to go check on some vegetable broth she was simmering. The whole house smelled of rich and healthy food. Mom made her own broth from fresh ingredients, and then tossed the sapped and soggy vegetables into her composter, which I jokingly called the creature feeder because she couldn't keep the animals out of it.
"In a way," Ginny said, "we're all in the same boat." She said, "Let's just be in our little boat together tonight and enjoy each other."
"You're not in my boat," Syl said bitterly. She scratched at her scalp under her mangy chemo hair. "You are not in my boat."
"I know," Ginny said. Ginny is the picture of sunburned good health. She runs marathons. She plays league softball.
"I'm sorry," she said. She stared at the floor.
This derecho gave us a fleeting glimpse of what the end of the world might feel like. Ironically, when the windstorm hit so unexpectedly that Friday night, Ginny and I were already in our basement, settled in and binge watching this show about post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. Our daughter Gracie was at her mother's house for the summer.
On the show, a chef who closed her restaurant for work elsewhere after Katrina destroyed the town comes back for a visit. She rides the trolley, gazes out at her drowned city, and weeps. A singing vagabond, played by the real singing vagabond Steve Earle, has just been mugged and shot dead in the street. Cops have shot kids, people are desperate, some still without homes, some trying to cobble a life back together, exposed to the elements and to the predators—both in masks and in dapper suits—running the streets. People are angry. They are fearful and desperate. John Goodman's character commits suicide.
The TV zipped to black as the overhead lights went dark. Upstairs, the wind was loud as an endless subway train on top of the house—within that roar were the gunshot cracks and banshee squeals of trees breaking and shearing and crashing to earth.
After five days in the dark, our electricity came back on. I spent those days cooking all our meals on the backyard grill. I even made coffee on the grill, and sat outside in the hot morning air listening to the chainsaws and chippers and sirens ring out in every direction as I drank it. It was a little uncomfortable—and we still have a tree looming over our bedrooms; we are out of that side until the arborist can get a crane and remove the tree without destroying the house. We haven't suffered. Not really. It was more like a window to the suffering of New Orleans cracked open and we got a glimpse, then it closed and we were once again out of the brutal sun in our cool homes.
Though a number of limbs rested on top of the house, there wasn't much damage to the roof. A massive white oak outside our daughter Gracie's window—which we call Gracie's Oak—caught the bulk of the falling tree. That is where it still hangs, waiting for our arborist to secure a crane, the two trees' branches clasped together like hands sprouting out into the sky a gnarled and broken here is the church… see all the people.
Our arborist has names for everything. The way this tree hit my tree and slid back onto its own trunk is known in the business as a barber's chair. A large branch broken off and hanging in a tree is called a widow maker. I know a woman here in town whose husband died in just this way: they were at a neighborhood barbecue; he was holding a beer and watching his daughters play with the other kids, and a fat limb fell on his head and killed him while burgers and dogs smoked on the grill.
In the days following the storm, from the backyard, through the tree's twisted branches I saw truck after battered truck of profiteers, riding the streets like revolutionaries, gripping their chainsaws like guns. Many houses emptied by those fleeing the storm and the heat were being broken into by looters. A gang of homeowners near us discovered just such a thief one night. In a fit of vigilante justice, they chased the guy down, cornered him, and beat the hell out of him Little League ball bats. How little it takes to collapse polite suburban niceness into raging violence. How easily it feels as if everything is flying apart, as if the end is near.
Sylvie's end-time obsession was not new to her illness. She had been on one desperate campaign to save the world after another ever since we were kids. I can tell you the exact night it all began. It was in the late seventies, when mom and dad had tried to save their marriage with religion—it didn't work. They dragged Syl and me along to church three times a week, and to see every crackass evangelist in a three-piece suit who rolled through with his eponymous crusade.
They loaded us up and carted us to this end-times crusade in the Huntington Civic Center one night. People poured into the parking lot in cars, church busses and vans. The evangelist preached on how horrible it was going to be for the unsaved after the Rapture, a man with coal black hair and a coal black suit and something like a flat Michigan accent. His wife was very small but sang like an opera diva—I remember the two of them making jokes from the stage about her being some kind of massive voice in a ninety-eight pound body. Rexella, Roxella, something like that.
His descriptions of the horrors to be rained down on earth scared Sylvie and me witless, and we nearly ran down front when he called the invitation. A man with a bushy mustache and tangy coffee breath took us together to the edge of the stage. He had a fat red tie with a knot big as a fist held under his chin, and he led us in the sinner's prayer, and gave us both copies of the Gospel of John and made us promise to read it.
Sylvie had on an Izod shirt with green, red, and blue horizontal strips that night, and her hair was short as a boy's for gymnastics. She gave me that huge grin, goofy and sincere, while the man who'd led us in the prayer told us we needed to start reading our Bibles and praying, and find a good church to go to, did we have a good church to go to? I was trying to avoid the pain and horror of the Great Tribulation, nothing else. The night faded in my mind like the memory of a troubling horror movie seen too young. Sylvie though, she got a good long swig of the doomsday Kool-Aid.
She became involved in this weird end-times scripture code breaking: the bear represented Russia, and China was the dragon—who but an idiot couldn't see it. "There's no eagle mentioned," she told me. "The United States will not be around. Who knows, maybe the USSR will blow us from the face of the earth before then." She was in seventh grade. Twelve years old.
Sylvie left the church in junior high. She ran with dope smokers, wore punk rock spiked hair, torn shirts, leather, and face piercings. She marched in anti-nuke rallies, protested Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, and called herself an Anarchist. Then in high school, she had another radical conversion back into church. She swung back and forth like that, but she was always on the front line of the fight to save the planet. It was as if she would be yelling across the picket line, suddenly step across the line, turn around and resume her yelling back the other way. It might have had something to do with her sexuality and the church, her inability to settle in with one group and stay there. I can't say for sure.
Her second conversion was in the late eighties—mom and dad were finished with religion by this time, long divorced, mom remarried, dad drinking and job hopping, trying to get his shit together. Sylvie joined this whacked out Fundamentalist church. When Bush Sr. rolled into the first Gulf War, Syl wrote me several letters begging me to get saved because it was clear that the world was coming to an end.
I found one of the letters the other night, after Mom and I sorted through Sylvie's things. She sent it to me in February of 1991. Here it is, just to give you an idea in her own words what I'm telling you about my sister. I haven't changed a single word of the letter:
I just got my report card (4 A's and 2 B's) it's not as good as I'd hoped, it never is, but it will do. My A in history is all that really matters to me. The more I study it, the more I understand biblical prophecy. I think the Russian people (Gog and Megog in Jeremiah) or I should say person (Gorbachev) will play an important role in the "global peace" that will set the stage for Jesus' second coming. We clearly see that it cannot be Saddam because Babylon is going to be wiped out.
While my friends and teachers hail Gorbachev for bringing peace and freedom to Eastern Europe and the USSR, I'm skeptical. From studying history, I'm beginning to wonder if glasnost and perestroika are a deliberate ploy to set up the West for its final destruction, by creating the false peace that the Bible prophesies. By freeing Eastern Europe he neutralizes Western Europe and destroys NATO. The U.S. and Western Europe then take over the financial burdens of Eastern Europe.
The neutralization of Western Europe through a great peace has been on the Kremlin's drawing board for years. And since 1948, when Israel once again became a nation, the only thing left to happen before Christ returns is the world peace, and Russia marching on Israel. We are close Jeff. We are so close. Gorbachev is using religion to unify his country. But he is embracing a false religion. Roman Catholicism. And many Russians will be misled. The Pope, like every pope before him, has dreamed of uniting Greek Orthodoxy and the Roman church. With Europe united and a uniform religion spreading, the Roman Empire will once again rise, just as prophesied. In the Middle East because of the current crisis democracy is seeping in, thus another possibility of a united world living in a false time of peace and prosperity before the final battle. Please, Jeff, make a decision before it's too late.
I love you,
Near the end, when we were just trying to show her some kind of enjoyment where we could, Ginny and I took her to see a movie by Tim Burton, her favorite director. We both loved the old short feature of Frankenweenie he did back in 1984, so it was going to be a treat. This was a new 3-D, stop action version, and we were seeing it at the new IMAX.
It was not one of her good days, but insisted she was up for it. I rented a wheelchair with swing-away footrests from Bedford Medical Supply, paid $175 for one month. It was grey and came with a detachable desk arm. Ginny padded it with a couple of mom's quilts—one her own mother made, and she'd ignorantly sewn in these designs that looked suspiciously like swastikas, so Syl and I always called it the Nazi quilt, laughed at it, told mom to hide it when people came over so we wouldn't lose friends.
We picked her up and eased her into the chair. The plastic squeaked and Syl groaned. She didn't weigh anything at all; I was afraid of holding to hard, afraid I might break something. Her arms were skeletal, bruised, scabbed. I pulled a happy pink sweater over her head, and then replaced her knit cap. I piled the quilts on.
"Look at me," she said. "I'm Jack the Pumpkin King."
I stopped at the dollar store and left the radio on for Syl as I ran in and grabbed some Goobers and Raisinets (Sylvie smiled ironically at the green bubble on the yellow box advertising natural source of fruit antioxidants) and Twizzlers to sneak into the movie. I bought one Sprite for Syl and one Ginny and me to share. I didn't want to hurt Syl's feelings, but I didn't want to drink after her. A sickening rot hangs in front of a stomach-cancer mouth. We parked the wheelchair in the back of the theater, Ginny and I helped her down a few rows, and we sat in the new seats that leaned back like airplane seats.
Halfway into the movie, Syl took off her 3-D hipster glasses and starts coughing. She'd only had a few sips of Sprite, and no candy of course. She hacked and coughed, and then retched onto the Nazi quilt folded over her lap. A woman turned and looked at her, then turned back to the screen. Ginny folded the quilt closed and rolled it away from Syl's lap. I whispered, "We have another one. We'll switch out."
Sylvie retched again. A dry heave that ended in a vocalized groan.
The woman turned around and said to me, "Please."
"She's very sick," I said.
"Then take her to a hospital."
Syl shouted, "Fuck you." She dry heaved again and groaned.
The woman said, "Sir. Please." A child beside the woman rose up and pulled off his glasses to get a good look at us.
Sylvie cursed her again. I lifted her from the seat.
Ginny stood and leaned over the woman and said into her ear, at normal conversational volume, "God forbid you get stomach cancer."
Ginny gathered the quilts and followed as I carried Syl like an overgrown infant up the aisle. Sylvie hissed into my ear, "God damn it, I'm not leaving before it's over."
One month ago, Ginny went into her room in the morning and found her on her back in bed, already hours dead, the blood pooling at the bottoms of her arms making them striped blue on bottom white on top, the difference as stark as a dipped Easter egg.
It looks like the new regime is out to gut the EPA, even as the scientists there scramble to save their research and fight back against Big Oil. I saw in the news that the White House tried to make them delete the climate change web page, but I visited it the other day and it is still there. It is not for the faint of heart.
This past winter was the warmest winter ever recorded here so far. It is March and for the first time ever, my Swiss chard grew through the winter months. Another storm came crashing through yesterday evening, with pounding rain, lightning and thunder, ominous sky and heavy wind. Ginny and I once again heard a tree cracking outside the dark windows, so we fled to the basement. As we descended the steps,
Earlier Ginny had made Thai chicken and peanut noodles and put it in the fridge. She brought the bowl down with a chilled bottle of wine. She set up dinner on the table in front of the couch, lit by a green Coleman lantern that had two soft white tubes glowing vertically inside. We ate and drank wine in the soft white light.
With the storm raging above, Ginny says to me, "Can't watch TV. Whatever are we going to do?" She grins at me, half her face illuminated by the soft fluorescent lamplight, the other half in total darkness.
I shrug.
"I guess we'll just have to have sex," she says.
Lightning strobes down the stairs from the kitchen above. Cracks and rumbles of thunder follow. Ginny scoots closer to me, and her pale arm reaches for the black knob on the lantern. The basement goes completely dark but for the flashes from above. Her mouth is close to my face. Her warm breath smells of garlic, peanut sauce, and wine. She says, "Gracie comes back from her mother's house tomorrow, you know."
"What if the world really is ending," I say. "What if Sylvie's right?"
"Eventually," Ginny says, "she will be. But I think we'll make it through tonight." She kisses the side of my mouth in the dark.

Several killed in US shooting near Pittsburgh synagogue – Royal Times of Nigeria.
A gunman opened fire at a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh today, reportedly killing at least four people and injuring an unknown number before he was taken into custody. The local CBS affiliate reported that eight people were confirmed dead, while Fox put the death toll at four.
A police spokesman addressing reporters at the scene confirmed "multiple casualties" and said, three officers, were shot before the shooter was taken into custody. The condition of the officers was not immediately clear.
Police were still clearing the building, the official said. Pittsburgh's Public Safety department, which includes the police, earlier tweeted that an active shooter was in the area near the synagogue, urging residents to stay away.
The Tree of Life congregation is located in the area cited by police, and the incident occurred on the Jewish Sabbath. US President Donald Trump tweeted that people "in Squirrel Hill area should remain sheltered. This is the latest shooting incident in the United States, where gunmen regularly cause mass casualties and firearms are linked to more than 30,000 deaths annually.

Dungeons & Dragons & Beer, Part 3.5: Did You Get It That Was A D&D Joke
The night continued
If you'll recall, our third Dungeons & Dragons night went on for so long that I thought it best to split it into two posts. When last we met:
Alex/Quoras, being all smug just because he single handedly murdered the bad guy
The party discovered Quoras very much not dead
And, in fact, he had murdered the bandit leader Glasstaff with his bare hands (and a length of chain)
They skirted around an eye monster with a taste for human flesh, sacrificing a guard they had captured
After following a long tunnel they found themselves in a forest. They began to turn around when a voice called out:
"Uncle Quoras?"
A young halfling stepped out from behind a tree: Quoras recognized him as his young nephew, Carp Alderleaf1, who told him that he had been spying on bandits sneaking in and out through the tunnel. He offered to take them back to his farm, on the outside of Phandalin, which the party readily agreed to seeing as they had no idea where they were.
Once back at the Alderleaf farm Quoras reconnected with his sister, Quelline, while deftly avoiding mention of how he knew the Redbrands. The group ate dinner, Rizzo excusing herself early so she could spend time studying the glass staff Quoras had gifted her from the dead Glasstaff: a man they suspected actually had the name of "Iarno Albrek", judging by a letter found in his study.
After study and meditation Rizzo determined she had a staff of defense, which not only boosted her armor but could also cast certain defensive spells a certain number of times per day.
In the morning the group thanked Quelline for her hospitality and went back into town.
Whatever happened to Gundren Rockseeker of the Chicago Bears?
The recently deceased
Clant had looted a number of Redbrands: he likely could have built his own iron throne from the swords he carried. Gold mattered more to him than furniture of questionable utility and so he headed to the Lionshield Coster to sell them.
There Linene Lionshield complained of the unreliable supply flow: goblins had been ambushing merchants traveling along the Triboard Trail, and her latest caravan hadn't arrived at all.
Goblins. Possibly the same ones who had attacked them as they approached Phandalin, who had likely apprehended or killed Gundren Rockseeker, the dwarf who had hired them to bring supplies. Perhaps not coincidentally, Glasstaff and the author of the letter who signed with the image of a black spider had also been interested in Gundren and his two brothers.
It appears the party had found themselves a plotline2.
They remembered a trail Clant had found by their ambush. Before they traveled back, however, they made a brief stop at the Townmaster's Hall where Dolemite took great joy in telling the lecherous Harbin Wester that the Redbrands had been… dealt with. Permanently. This overjoyed Wester, though he largely confirmed their suspicions that Glasstaff's actual name was Iarno Albrek: Albrek was a human wizard who arrived to help bring order to the town but disappeared and had been presumed dead. It appears he had not been slain by bandits but by greed.
Backwards up the mossy glen
Although it had been a few days the party found the spot of their ambush easily, and from there Clant made short work of locating the path the goblins had used. Eventually they came upon a stream coming from a cave. They snuck up to the cave, along a dense thicket, and discovered two goblins doing a particularly terrible job of keeping watch.
The goblins got summarily slaughtered.
Soon after entering the cave they found a small room where two wolves lay chained to spikes. They snapped and snarled, but Dolemite showed excellent prowess with animal handling and not only calmed them but managed to gain their affection. He undid the spikes and led the animals by their chains up the cave.
Clant, being merely human, couldn't see in the darkness of the cave. Rizzo used her magic to illuminate the cave and they continued on.
Or at least they tried to: with very little warning the cave became full of a torrent of water, bringing with it peer to peer pain! Dolemite, Quoras and the wolves managed to take refuge in a tiny alcove but Rizzo and Clant found themselves washed to the cave entrance. They sullenly trudged back up only to find another wave, washing them back to the entrance yet again.
Thinking perhaps they should find another way, the group climbed up a steep passage in the alcove and crawled along until they heard fires and revelry.
The death toll rises
The group entered a den of goblins and wasted no time in bringing the pain. Dolemite released the wolves; Clant drew his bow; Quoras stabbed and Rizzo cast.
Although five goblins fought, none of them survived very long. As the tide was turning a sixth appeared at the upper edge of the room, but even the apparent leader was no match for the party. It seems as though their time in the Redbrand hideout solidified their teamwork, and Eris favored their dice rolls.
Ascending to where the last goblin died, they found the dead body of a human soldier. He had no armor, weapons or identifying information on him but seemed recently deceased.
Dolemite gripped the reins of his wolves. The rest of the cave waited, unexplored.
We as a society need to accept that the default D&D names are dumb and move on, okay? ↩
I kid. The best part of D&D and all RPGs, in my opinion, comes from the players quickly and gleefully doing whatever the goddamn hell they want. If I wanted a linear story I'd read a book. I am quite amused by their steadfast refusal to do things in the order they were meant to: Phil bought the starter set and found he had to stop reading on the second page because they hadn't gotten there yet. ↩

Hi, What is the figure you have of the mage representing glass staff? He is holding a book and a staff.
Dan on November 18th, 2015 - 12:06am
I got in in the first Reaper Bones Kickstarter campaign. I don't know its exact name but it should be easy enough to find!

Each year in the United Kingdom almost 9,000 babies die after the 20th week of pregnancy, at, or within 28 days of birth, so this is an immensely important task.

Brussels - Change Location


I read. I read a lot. I've read a lot ever since I was a kid.
My kids, on the other hand, seem to prefer media that can be delivered via smartphone—podcasts, videos, cute kittens, pictures of someone else's meal, and who knows what.
I subscribe to nearly a dozen magazines; my two kids who are still at home currently subscribe to one magazine—between them. I figure this is average, or possibly even above average..
Please use a font size that does not require an electron microscope to read.
When you MUST continue an article on one of the last pages, PLEASE make sure that the pages near it have visible page numbers. It seems like the last 20 percent of the pages in a magazine only have a few marked with page numbers.
You notice that I'm not criticizing content. I may not agree with what other authors write, but we seem to have a lot of talented writers out there, which is a very positive sign. I paid the extra money when my cataracts were removed so that I would have 20-20 vision AND be able to read without glasses. Much of the time it works, but for some of the trendy printing I need a carbon-arc lamp for illumination and reading glasses—with an eye loupe handy for some sections.
Publishers, you might want to try to appeal to your audience. Just a thought.

Acai is a berry fruit with potent antioxidant benefits. Many research studies have firmly established that taking berry fruits has a positive and profound impact on our health, performance, and disease prevention.
Consider adding açaí berries to your regular dietary intake of pomegranate, blueberry and other berry fruits to maximize your long-term health and vitality.
You may want to try it to treat your arthritis problem but beware of scam and incredible inflated claims that it will cure it. It may work well for you. At least if it works a little, you might be able to lower your dose of your current anti-inflammatory medication. This would be great because anti-inflammatory drugs, with long-term use, have a nasty danger of hurting the stomach. Remember to discuss this with your doctor to let him or her know what you are planning to do.
Buy from online retailer or wholesaler that you trust so that you know exactly what you are getting. Where you get açaí is as important as which manufacturer made it.
Having said that, some websites are offering free trial bottles of açaí. Be aware of their policy so that you can avoid scams. We have heard of complaints of recurring credit card charges and non-responsive customer service department.
The two brands that have been used in research studies that are MonaVie Active and OptiAcai.
In one clinical study, researchers showed that drinking açaí juice increases the antioxidant benefits in healthy adults. Antioxidants are proven to be beneficial to overall health.
A recently published well-designed clinical study lasting 12 weeks showed that berry-derived anthocyanin brings down the "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and raises the "good" cholesterol (HDL) significantly.
In laboratory settings at the University of Florida, this dietary supplement slows down the growth of leukemia cancer cells.
The researcher cautioned that although açaí berry fruits are a rich source of antioxidants, other berries such as grapes, guavas and mangoes also have been shown to kill cancer cells as well.
In laboratory settings, açaí mildly inhibited the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes in the same way as Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Celebrex, Naprosyn and Aleve).
There are no studies either in animal or human experiments. Lab test shows that this berry is able to stop the growth of cancerous leukemia cells.
There are no studies either in animal or human trials. Anecdotal reports suggest that taking this berry can lead to a significant weight loss.
The health benefits made on the internet and television shows as to what acai berry plant and juice can cure far exceed any research studies we could find.
Some consider açaí berry to be nature's most perfect food as it has one of the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) which neutralizes the dangerous free radicals that damages healthy cells. ORAC measures the power of the antioxidant capacities of various food products.
Experts believe that aging, atherosclerosis, heart disease plus many other ailments are the direct and indirect results of free radical damage to cells. It has been called "The Viagra of the Amazon."
AH-sigh-EE is the proper pronunciation for this berry.
What is are some other names?
Acai is a palm tree that grows in Central and South America. The fruit produced by the açaí palm tree is a red-purple fruit about an inch in diameter.
The people of Amazon have been eating this traditional fruit or drinking the açaí juice extract as part of their diet for hundreds of years. The berries are a major part of their diet.
In addition to containing calcium, iron, phosphorus, thiamine and vitamin A, this fruit contains large amount of anthocyanins and flavonoids. Experts believe that the anthocyanins found in this fruit are what give it the extreme antioxidant power. The anthocyanins also give the fruit the purple colours.
What are the health benefits of acai berry juice?
Research studies show that this fruit has very potent antioxidant properties.
In one study, açaí pulp showed greater antioxidant power than cranberry, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry or blueberry. In another study, on average as a group, açaí juice antioxidant power is about the same as black cherry and cranberry juice. See table below for a quick summary. Pomegranate juice shows the highest antioxidant potency and apple juice, orange juice and iced tea shows the lowest of the group.
This points out that the way the berry is prepared may lead to different antioxidant potency. There are a lot of differences in açaí content between manufacturers so buy with caution. In the study below, the amount of açaí found in the studied juice was not determined.
Remember, this is an average. The juices used in this study did not specify exactly how much açaí was in them. Interpret the results with caution.
Does acai help with arthritis such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?
Açaí is shown to block the cyclooxygenase enzyme COX-1 and COX-2 in much the same ways as anti-inflammatory drugs do to help with arthritis pain. This results was from studies in test tubes only.
Does acai help with different types of cancer?
In laboratory research, acai was shown to slow down experimental leukemia cell's growth.
Are there any studies done in animals or humans?
The answer is yes. Almost all studies were conducted in a lab and on tissues by scientist wearing white lab coats. One study done in healthy volunteers showed that drinking açaí juice resulted in an increase in blood antioxidant capacity by up to 3 times in less than 2 hours. This proves that we can absorb all the beneficial antioxidants found in the juice formulation.
The people of Amazon used it for hundreds of years. When did it become popular in North America?
Credits for the sudden increase in popularity of this fruit goes to Dr. Perricone who promoted it as one of the ten "Superfood" on the Oprah Winfrey television show. It is featured in other TV programs along with lots of testimonials from users of açaí claiming that it promotes weight loss and cancer killing ability.
No side effects expected - As this supplement is a berry fruit, side effects are not expected anymore than what would be expected from eating other fruits like strawberry, mango or grapes.
However, taking concentrated açaí berry in large quantities in a powder or a pill form may results in excessive amount possibly causing stomach aches and diarrhea.
Safety - It is believed to be safe when taken in quantities normally found in a typical Amazonian diet.
Pregnancy and Lactation - No information is available. Avoid using in quantities larger than what would be found in a typical diet containing berry fruits.
Açaí is shown to block the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes similar to what Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs do. Combining açaí with these drugs may result in an increased effect and you may need to lower your dose of your prescription anti-inflammatory medication. Let your doctor know that you are taking açaí.
This dietary supplement comes in tablets, capsules, juice, smoothie, powder and whole fruit.
There is no typical dose. We suggest starting with açaí extract of 500 mg taken once to three times daily.
