Licinius was co-emperor with Constantine the Great. At his accession, he had agreed to tolerate Christianity in his territories, but soon turned to persecuting the Christians, and to a variety of carnal sins. He conceived a passion for Glaphyra, a Christian virgin handmaid of the Empress Constantia. When Glaphyra told Constantia of this, the Empress sent her away to Amasia in the East for her protection. There she was received and protected by Bishop Basil of that city. Licinius learned where Glaphyra was hiding and ordered that both she and the bishop be brought to him as prisoners. The soldiers who came for her found that she had already died, so they returned with only Bishop Basil, who was subjected to cruel tortures, then beheaded. His body was cast into the sea, but, with the help of an angel of God, his people found his body, retrieved it from the sea, and returned it to Amasia.   The Prologue adds, "The Emperor Constantine raised an army against Licinius, overcame him, arrested him and sent him into exile in Gaul, where he ended his God-hating days."

They were fellow-soldiers and kinsmen of St Theodore the Tyro (Feb. 17). When St Theodore received his martyrdom, they were kept in prison because the governor of Amasia was unwilling to execute them. But a new and crueler governor, Asclepiodotus, took his place and ordered the three soldiers of Christ to be brought to him. At first, the governor used flattery and bribery to attempt to turn the three from Christ. He invited Eutropius to dine with him, but Eutropius refused, quoting the Psalm 'Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsels of the ungodly.' He then offered them a huge amount of silver, which they likewise refused, telling the governor that Judas lost his soul for silver. The governor then turned to torture, subjecting the three to extreme torments. At last, he condemned Eutropius and Cleonicus to crucifixion, for which they joyfully gave thanks that they had been found worthy to die the same death as Christ. Basiliscus was held in prison awhile longer in hopes that the deaths of his companions would weaken his resolve; but when he remained steadfast in the Faith, he was beheaded, on May 22 (on which he is also commemorated) in 308

La misericordia da parte di Dio è talvolta inattesa; invece di punire chi non opera per il bene altrui,  li cerca affinché cambino vita.  Troviamo  inquietante la grazia inattesa di Dio verso chi non sembra meritarlo? E quanta misericordia ha verso noi, quando ci chiama,  imperfetti, ad agire per Lui? ---CLICCA SUL TITOLO PER ASCOLTARE IL MESSAGGIOTempo di lettura: 9 minuti Tempo di ascolto audio/visione video: 27 minutiLa storia di Giona è ben nota a tutti, credenti e non credenti, tanto da ispirare scrittori come Collodi che fa fare a Pinocchio la stessa fine di Giona, inghiottito da una balena.Ma quale è l'obiettivo principale di Dio attraverso il libro di Giona, oltre quello di raccontarci una storia bizzarra di un uomo  che vive dentro la pancia di un pesce? Vedremo che l'obiettivo principale del libro  è mostrare che Dio ha misericordia di tutti...  anche quando non ce lo aspettiamo. Leggiamo Giona 1:“La parola del Signore fu rivolta a Giona, figlio di Amittai, in questi termini: «Àlzati, va' a Ninive, la gran città, e proclama contro di lei che la loro malvagità è salita fino a me».  Ma Giona si mise in viaggio per fuggire a Tarsis, lontano dalla presenza del Signore. Scese a Iafo, dove trovò una nave diretta a Tarsis e, pagato il prezzo del suo viaggio, si imbarcò per andare con loro a Tarsis, lontano dalla presenza del Signore.” (Giona 1:1-3)Al di fuori di questo libro, l'unica altra volta  che Giona viene menzionato nelle Scritture è in 2 Re 14:23-25:“Nel quindicesimo anno di Amasia, figlio di Ioas, re di Giuda, cominciò a regnare a Samaria Geroboamo, figlio di Ioas, re d'Israele, e regnò quarantun anni. Egli fece quello che è male agli occhi del Signore; non si allontanò da nessuno dei peccati con i quali Geroboamo, figlio di Nebat, aveva fatto peccare Israele. Egli ristabilì i confini d'Israele dall'ingresso di Camat al mare della pianura, come il Signore, Dio d'Israele, aveva detto per mezzo del suo servitore il profeta Giona, figlio di Amittai, che era di Gat-Efer.” (2 Re 14:23-25)Prima del governo di Geroboamo, Israele era un piccolo territorio  che pagava pesanti tributi alle nazioni circostanti.  Ma poi, dal 780 al 740 a.C. circa, pur essendo malvagio,  Geroboamo riuscì a raggiungere la prosperità, l'influenza e l'espansione  e a riportare i confini a quelli che erano ai tempi del re Davide.E la Bibbia afferma che tutto ciò avvenne grazie a qualcuno che stava scappando verso Tarsis pur di non obbedire alla chiamata di Dio! Attraverso un profeta riluttante. Si, proprio Giona! Ninive è una città importante dell'Assiria:   Genesi 10 descrive le nazioni che si stabilirono dopo il diluvio:“Cus generò Nimrod, che cominciò a essere potente sulla terra. Egli fu un potente cacciatore davanti al Signore; perciò si dice: «Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore davanti al Signore».Il principio del suo regno fu Babel, Erec, Accad e Calne nel paese di Scinear. Da quel paese andò in Assiria e costruì Ninive, Recobot-Ir e Cala; e tra Ninive e Cala, Resen, la grande città.” (Genesi 10:88-12)Ninive fu una delle città fondatrici dell'Assiria.  Alla fine divenne la capitale nel 700 a.C.,  un po' dopo il tempo di Giona.  È una città con una lunga storia.È anche una città con una reputazione... e non era affatto buona!  Nimrod era un potente cacciatore e guerriero.  La città di Ninive rifletteva il suo carattere.  Parlando di Ninive, Naum  dice: “Oracolo su Ninive; libro della visione di Naum l'Elcosita....Guai alla città sanguinaria, piena di menzogna e di violenza, che non cessa di depredare! Si ode rumore di fruste, frastuono di ruote, galoppo di cavalli, sobbalzare di carri.  I cavalieri danno la carica, fiammeggiano le spade, sfolgorano le lance, abbondano i feriti, si ammucchiano i cadaveri, sono infiniti i morti, si inciampa nei cadaveri.”  (Naum 1:1, 3:1-3)La città di Ninive amava la caccia... si, delle persone!  Un esercito potente e crudele era la loro arma.  Ai tempi di Giona il loro potere era in aumento.Un giorno Giona se ne stava tranquillo  nella sua città natale, Gat-Efer,  ed ecco che Dio gli dice: "«Àlzati, va' a Ninive, la gran città, e proclama contro di lei che la loro malvagità è salita fino a me».  Ma Giona si mise in viaggio per fuggire a Tarsis, lontano dalla presenza del Signore” (Giona 1:2-3)Non c'è accordo tra gli studiosi su dove si trovi Tarsis.  Ma se leggiamo 2 Cronache ci facciamo un'idea.  Il tempo è quello del regno di re Salomone.“Infatti il re aveva delle navi che andavano a Tarsis con la gente di Curam; e una volta ogni tre anni venivano le navi da Tarsis, portando oro, argento, avorio, scimmie e pavoni.” (2 Cronache 9:21)Una nave mercantile impiegava due anni  per fare un viaggio di andata e ritorno a Tarsis, più uno per caricare le merci.  Quindi l'ipotesi che Tarsis sia nella Spagna moderna,  è probabilmente la più accurata. Il piano di Giona era di andare il più lontano possibile...  e probabilmente restare là... magari in attesa che Dio trovasse qualcun altro da mandare a Ninive... e si dimenticasse di Giona.E per fare questo va a  Iafo (l'attuale Giaffa)  aspetta una barca per Tarsis (e non erano frequenti come i treni della metro a Roma) e ci sale;  egli sta quasi letteralmente andando  il più lontano possibile nella direzione opposta.So cosa state pensando:  “Che credente da nulla è Giona!" Ma Giona aveva le sue ragioni.Vedete, altri profeti sono stati chiamati a parlare contro le nazioni. Abdia predica contro Edom. Naum predica contro l'Assiria. Isaia contro Babilonia, Assiria ed  Egitto, Geremia  fa lo stesso.Sapete quale è la differenza tra tutti questi profeti e Giona? Che quelli predicavano contro altre nazioni  o da Israele o da altri posti dove erano stati deportati a forza. A Giona Dio chiede di lasciare deliberatamente Israele e di andare di sua volontà in una città pagana dove si fanno sacrifici umani. Vedete che la situazione è differente?Riusciamo ad essere un minimo empatici con questo profeta riluttante, e a comprendere la sua fuga? Che cosa avrei fatto io nella sua stessa situazione?E Giona reagisce. Reagisce per due motivi: il primo è la preoccupazione per se stesso. Il secondo è più grave: l'indignazione per un Dio che mostra misericordia verso un popolo pagano, peccatore e omicida (lo vedremo più avanti nel libro).La visione che Giona ha di Dio non prevede la misericordia per il popolo di Ninive;  trova questa misericordia inattesa troppo inquietante  e decide di andare nella direzione opposta.Ecco quindi la domanda di applicazione per oggi: troviamo la misericordia inattesa di Dio troppo inquietante?È troppo inquietante pensare che Dio abbia pietà  di un uomo che tradisce la moglie o ha una vita sessuale promiscua?Abbiamo difficoltà a pensare che Dio avrebbe pietà  di coloro che trovano nei soldi, o nella fama il loro idolo da venerare?È troppo sconvolgente per noi riconoscere  che verso uomini e donne che praticano l'omosessualità,  o lottano con l'identità di genere,  o promuovono il matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso, Dio sia disposto ad essere misericordioso?Possiamo immaginare che Dio abbia misericordia di chi  è entrato in casa nostra e ha rubato i nostri telefoni,  i nostri i-pad, i nostri gioielli e la nostra TV  e se ne è andato con la nostra auto usando le chiavi che erano sul tavolo?Abbiamo difficoltà a pensare che i truffatori,  o i padroni che schiavizzano i lavoratori sottopagandoli trovino un  Dio che è disposto ad avere misericordia per loro?Abbiamo previsto che l'alcolizzato, o il drogato,   che ha rovinato la vita della sua famiglia, che ha perso tutti i suoi soldi  e che guida sulle strade con alcool e droga nel sangue e uccide un passante perché non lo ha visto,  potrà trovare un Dio che abbia misericordia di lui?Troviamo inquietante che per coloro che negano Dio,  che si scagliano contro il cristianesimo  e fanno del tutto per opprimere chi crede   Dio abbia un progetto di misericordia?E, attenzione, non ho usato esempi a caso, ma li ho tratti dalla Scrittura:“Non sapete che gli ingiusti non erediteranno il regno di Dio? Non v'illudete: né fornicatori, né idolatri, né adùlteri, né effeminati, né sodomiti, né ladri, né avari, né ubriachi, né oltraggiatori, né rapinatori erediteranno il regno di Dio. E tali eravate alcuni di voi; ma siete stati lavati, siete stati santificati, siete stati giustificati nel nome del Signore Gesù Cristo e mediante lo Spirito del nostro Dio..” (1 Corinzi 6:9-11)Paolo usa tre verbi al passato, pesanti come pietre; qualcosa è accaduto... ed è irreversibile.LavatiIn greco è  ἀπολούω apolouō; che è composto da λούω louō , ovvero "lavato"  più il prefisso ἀπο apo,  "via".  Il sangue di Gesù ha lavato via i peccati: tutti.Santificati In greco è  ἁγιάζω hagiazō; che significa “purificati per un'offerta”. Gesù ci ha resi degni di essere presentati al Padre, ci ha collocati  in una situazione spirituale di santità davanti a Dio. GiustificatiIn grco è  δικαιόω dikaioō; che significa “far ritornare diritti” Gesù ci ha raddrizzati, come se non avessimo mai peccato e non fossimo mai stati un peccatori. Chi è che ha ricevuto tutto ciò da  Gesù? Tutti nell'elenco di Paolo.  Non gli integri, non quelli che vanno ogni giorno al tempio, non chi fa elemosina abbondante...Ma ogni categoria di peccatori. Nessuno escluso.  Questo ci disturba? Ci fa arrabbiare una misericordia così inaspettata?  C'è forse un po' di Giona in tutti noi?A Giona Dio aveva detto “Alzati e vai a parlare alla città di Ninive perché il suo male ha la mia attenzione.”; a ciascuno di noi Gesù ha detto questo:"E Gesù, avvicinatosi, parlò loro, dicendo: «Ogni potere mi è stato dato in cielo e sulla terra. Andate dunque e fate miei discepoli tutti i popoli battezzandoli nel nome del Padre, del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo...". (Matteo 28:18-19)"Ma voi riceverete potenza quando lo Spirito Santo verrà su di voi, e mi sarete testimoni in Gerusalemme, e in tutta la Giudea e Samaria, e fino all'estremità della terra».". (Atti 1:8) Lo faccio io ? Sono disposto ad andare?  E se non vado   è perché non credo che Dio  possa portare alla trasformazione e al pentimento?  Oppure sono effettivamente turbato dal fatto  che sia possibile una misericordia così inattesa  e non mi sta bene, perché non la ritengo giusta e vorrei vedere friggere i nemici miei e di Gesù?La misericordia inattesa di Dio  ci costringe a fermarci e a riflettere.  Perché vediamo le opere di Dio da una prospettiva diversa,  una prospettiva che ci mette alla prova; mette alla prova na nostra logica causa-effetto: tu pecchi, per cui vieni punito. E' giusto, è dovuto.Ma invece Dio è paziente e misericordioso; manda una barca a soccorrere i peggiori peccatoti dal naufragio delle loro vite, da loro una seconda, una terza, una ennesima chance per salvarsi...Ma  Dio è paziente e misericordioso anche con noi; lo dimostra da come ha trattato Giona.Ci vogliono almeno quattro giorni per camminare da Gat-Efer a Iafo. E non è che a Iafo parta  una barca per Tarsis ogni giorno.  Forse Giona avrà atteso una settimana, anche due.La disobbedienza di Giona non è andare a Iafo.  Non c'è nemmeno bisogno di uscire dalla porta di casa per disobbedire a Dio; avrebbe potuto, semplicemente, dire “NO!”. Quante volte lo faccio io all'anno... o al mese... o alla settimana... o al giorno?Giona lo sa, che Dio governa la sua vita, tanto che dopo dirà:"Sono Ebreo e temo il Signore, Dio del cielo, che ha fatto il mare e la terraferma.". (Giona 1:9)Il Dio che ha creato il mare è dove si trova il mare.  Giona sa che non può scappare da Dio;  e non è questo che Giona sta facendo. La strategia di Giona consiste nel cercare di andare in un posto  dove possa evitare la chiamata di Dio sulla sua vita: “Se sono abbastanza distante da Ninive,  allora Dio non lo chiederà più a me.”Giona cerca di fuggire dalla sua identità.  L'identità di essere un agente, un predicatore, un testimone  della Misericordia imprevista di Dio. Ma Dio mostra pazienza, in modo che Giona possa riscoprire cosa Lui fa, chi Lui è.Così, anche Giona è il destinatario della Grazia inattesa di Dio; non c'è punizione per la disobbedienza, ma misericordia, e attesa di un cuore che cambi.Al momento  è una grazia che Giona trova inquietante.  E forse anche noi.Davanti a tanta misericordia da parte di Dio ciò che devo chiedermi e che suggerisco anche a te di chiederti,  è:  "Trovo inquietante la grazia inattesa di Dio?". E, ancora: “Trovo inquietante che un Dio misericordioso chiami me ad agire per lui?".Preghiamo. GUARDA LE DIAPOSITIVE DEL MESSAGGIOGUARDA IL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU FACEBOOKGUARDA IL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU INSTAGRAM---  GUARDA IL VIDEO DEL MESSAGGIO IN HD

La Terre est actuellement divisée en plusieurs continents, bien délimitée et séparés par des océans d'âges divers. Mais il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi. En effet, à intervalles réguliers, ces continents se rassemblent en une formation unique appelée supercontinent.Ces mouvements sont dus au déplacement des plaques constituant la lithosphère terrestre. On appelle ce mécanisme la tectonique des plaques.Le dernier supercontinent à s'être formé se nomme la Pangée. Il est apparu voilà environ 300 millions d'années. Or, une nouvelle étude, due à des chercheurs australiens et chinois, révèle qu'un nouveau supercontinent devrait se former tous les 600 millions d'années.Nous serions donc au milieu du gué, si l'on peut dire. Un nouveau supercontinent devrait apparaître d'ici 300 millions d'années environ. Et les scientifiques lui ont déjà trouvé un nom : Amasia.Le mécanisme de formation d'AmasiaIl existe en effet plusieurs modes de formation possibles pour le futur supercontinent. En effet, le mouvement des plaques pourrait se faire de telle manière qu'il entraînerait la fermeture des anciens océans, comme l'océan Pacifique. Dans ce cas, les spécialistes parlent d'extroversion.En revanche, il y aurait introversion si les plaques provoquaient la fermeture d'océans plus récents, comme l'océan Atlantique. Enfin, dernière solution, c'est l'océan Arctique qui pourrait se voir fermé par l'action des plaques. Il s'agirait alors d'une orthoversion.D'après les spécialistes, ce qui devrait influencer le mouvement des plaques, et donc le mode de formation du supercontinent Amasia, c'est l'épaisseur de la croûte océanique.Si cette épaisseur est inférieure à 15 kilomètres, par exemple, le supercontinent devrait se former par extroversion. Et pour une épaisseur comprise entre 15 et 25 kilomètres, c'est le modèle de l'introversion qui est privilégié.Pour les spécialistes, cette épaisseur de la croûte océanique serait liée à la capacité du manteau terrestre à extraire du magma des chaînes de montagne sous-marines, ce qui provoquerait son réchauffement.Or, la Terre continuant à se refroidir, la croûte océanique aurait tendance à s'amincir. Par conséquent, le futur supercontinent se formerait plutôt grâce au mécanisme de l'extroversion, qui verra l'océan Pacifique se refermer. Hébergé par Acast.

La Terre est actuellement divisée en plusieurs continents, bien délimitée et séparés par des océans d'âges divers. Mais il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi. En effet, à intervalles réguliers, ces continents se rassemblent en une formation unique appelée supercontinent. Ces mouvements sont dus au déplacement des plaques constituant la lithosphère terrestre. On appelle ce mécanisme la tectonique des plaques. Le dernier supercontinent à s'être formé se nomme la Pangée. Il est apparu voilà environ 300 millions d'années. Or, une nouvelle étude, due à des chercheurs australiens et chinois, révèle qu'un nouveau supercontinent devrait se former tous les 600 millions d'années. Nous serions donc au milieu du gué, si l'on peut dire. Un nouveau supercontinent devrait apparaître d'ici 300 millions d'années environ. Et les scientifiques lui ont déjà trouvé un nom : Amasia.

We're debunking some myths in this week's episode…specifically, that commercial kitchens are no place for thermal printers. Star Micronics' John Maieli, who has plenty of back-of-house experience, explains the importance of printers in the kitchen and why thermal is the best option. What's the “state of the industry”? What's the real difference between impact & thermal printing and why is the latter ideal for this use case? How should VARs respond to common misconceptions and pushback on these devices? It's the episode where Dean busts out his “best” Super Mario impression.   #VARValue - How do you and Star advise VARs to approach existing and new customers about opting for thermal print in their operations?   Star Blog - Why Thermal Printers Have A Place In Today's Modern Kitchens   TEConnecting with us: John Maieli - 3D printing food Dean - A future "AmAsia" supercontinent?

Tracy is Amasia Entertainment's Senior VP of Television. Currently, Amasia is in development at The CW with a sequel series to Dan Curtis' classic, "Dark Shadows," to be showrun by Emmy-winner Mark B. Perry. Additional shows in development include "Because the Night" based on the James Ellory book, "Wolfe"— A contemporary mystery thriller series inspired by a Patricia Highsmithian author, a Francis Perkins miniseries about the trailblazing woman known as FDR's conscience, and a sexy CIA actioner created by "Spygame" writer Michael Frost Beckner.A graduate of Pepperdine University, Tracy began her film in production before working as a personal assistant to actress, Jennifer Aniston. Tracy assisted Aniston in production during three seasons of "Friends," and several feature films. After working as a script analyst for producers Jennifer and Suzanne Todd at Team Todd, Tracy took a story editor position with producer Rob Fried at Fried Films; there she worked on projects including "The Boondock Saints," and HBO'S critical darling, "Winchell." Tracy next joined producer Dan Halsted at Halsted Pictures, who was then partnered with Oliver Stone, where she worked in development on TNT's "Witchblade" and films including "Any Given Sunday" and "The Art of War."Spending much of her childhood as a rabid fan of science fiction and horror films, Tracy was next hired by her childhood hero, Gale Anne Hurd, at her company, Valhalla Motion Pictures. She rose through the ranks to become Senior Vice President and Head of Development. At Valhalla Tracy was the executive in charge of production on the PBS award-winning documentary, "True Whispers: The Story of the Navajo Codetalkers" and helped develop Ang Lee's "Hulk," Marvel's "The Punisher," and Karyn Kusama's "Aeon Flux."After four years at Valhalla, she headed up development for Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman's Revelations Entertainment, where she was involved in the development of films including "Invictus," directed by Clint Eastwood, and "10 Items or Less," directed by Brad Silberling. She was a producer on Richard Loncraine's film, "5 Flights Up," starring Diane Keaton, Morgan Freeman and Cynthia Nixon. Tracy also helped get Revelations into television when she sold "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman" to Discovery Science Channel, where she served as Executive Producer on the Emmy-nominated series. She was also co-producer of the Peabody Award-winning “ESPN 30 For 30 Documentary, "The 16th Man," which won a special “Television with a Conscience” Emmy.Of all of her work at Revelations, she is most proud to have been instrumental in setting up, developing, and serving as an executive producer on the pilot of CBS' hit series, "Madam Secretary." Working with TV showrunner goddess Barbara Hall remains a career highlight. Tracy was a producer on 60 episodes of "Madam Secretary" before moving on from Revelations to launch Amasia's TV division.

A differenza di altri profeti, come Isaia Geremia e Ezechiele, il libro di Amos non racconta la vocazione del profeta. Qui tuttavia nel capitolo VII è il profeta stesso che parla di sé e dell'inizio della sua missione, in risposta all'opposizione del re e di Amasia, sacerdote del tempio di Betel, uno dei santuari più importanti per il culto al Dio di Israele. Amos rivendica, davanti alla loro minaccia, la sua missione; Amos non si fa intimidire non cede all'ossequio neppure davanti al re. E' consapevole di trovarsi in un mondo pieno di soprusi contro i poveri, in cui non viene attuata la giustizia nè il diritto, in cui persino coloro che avrebbero dovuto esserne i garanti, come il re, massimo custode della Giustizia, e il sacerdote agiscono in modo contrario ad essa. Rivendica perciò l'origine della sua missione profetica; egli non nasce profeta, c'erano allora in Israele anche i gruppi di profeti che si rifacevano a qualcuno che li avrebbe investiti dello spirito di Dio. Niente di tutto questo. ”Non ero profeta né figlio di profeta - dice Amos - ero un mandriano e coltivavo piante di sicomòro". Dio sceglie i suoi profeti, non c'è discendenza né appartenenza che garantisca l'essere portatori della parola di Dio. Amos rivendica anche che l'essere profeta non è un mestiere ma piuttosto la risposta a una chiamata, che diventa una missione. La profezia è sempre la risposta a una chiamata, che si concretizza nella missione di essere portatori della parola di Dio. https://www.santegidio.org/

Los continentes de nuestro planeta no siempre han estado donde los vemos hoy. Impulsados por el movimiento de rocas en el manto, las masas continentales se van moviendo por la superficie de la Tierra: ensanchan océanos, cierran mares, chocan entre sí y estos choques levantan cadenas montañosas. Hoy hablamos de tres instantes del pasado en los que prácticamente todas las tierras emergidas estaban reunidas en un gran continente gigante. Aunque el más famoso de los tres es Pangea, que precedió a la hegemonía de los dinosaurios, ha habido al menos otros dos en pasados más remotos. Hoy os damos alguna pincelada sobre todos ellos: Columbia, entre hace 2.100 y 1.500 millones de años, Rodinia, entre hace 1.100 y 750 millones de años y por último Pangea, entre hace 335 y 200 millones de años. También os hablamos de la posibilidad de que en el futuro vuelva a formarse un supercontinente; algunos autores llaman a este supercontinente hipotético Amasia. De este tema hablamos hace algunas temporadas, pero desde el punto de vista contrario: donde hay supercontinentes también hay... superocéanos. Os hablamos de ellos y del ciclo de los supercontinentes en el episodio s08e24. Por otro lado, durante el programa mencionamos los seres de Franceville, de los que os hemos hablado en el capítulo s10e28, y de las algas más antiguas conocidas, cuyo descubrimiento os contamos en el episodio s06e32. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 20 de mayo de 2022. Podéis escuchar el resto de audios de La Brújula en la app de Onda Cero y en su web, ondacero.es

Licinius was co-emperor with Constantine the Great. At his accession, he had agreed to tolerate Christianity in his territories, but soon turned to persecuting the Christians, and to a variety of carnal sins. He conceived a passion for Glaphyra, a Christian virgin handmaid of the Empress Constantia. When Glaphyra told Constantia of this, the Empress sent her away to Amasia in the East for her protection. There she was received and protected by Bishop Basil of that city. Licinius learned where Glaphyra was hiding and ordered that both she and the bishop be brought to him as prisoners. The soldiers who came for her found that she had already died, so they returned with only Bishop Basil, who was subjected to cruel tortures, then beheaded. His body was cast into the sea, but, with the help of an angel of God, his people found his body, retrieved it from the sea, and returned it to Amasia.   The Prologue adds, "The Emperor Constantine raised an army against Licinius, overcame him, arrested him and sent him into exile in Gaul, where he ended his God-hating days."

They were fellow-soldiers and kinsmen of St Theodore the Tyro (Feb. 17). When St Theodore received his martyrdom, they were kept in prison because the governor of Amasia was unwilling to execute them. But a new and crueler governor, Asclepiodotus, took his place and ordered the three soldiers of Christ to be brought to him. At first, the governor used flattery and bribery to attempt to turn the three from Christ. He invited Eutropius to dine with him, but Eutropius refused, quoting the Psalm 'Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsels of the ungodly.' He then offered them a huge amount of silver, which they likewise refused, telling the governor that Judas lost his soul for silver. The governor then turned to torture, subjecting the three to extreme torments. At last, he condemned Eutropius and Cleonicus to crucifixion, for which they joyfully gave thanks that they had been found worthy to die the same death as Christ. Basiliscus was held in prison awhile longer in hopes that the deaths of his companions would weaken his resolve; but when he remained steadfast in the Faith, he was beheaded, on May 22 (on which he is also commemorated) in 308.

All of that ended when John realised that he was still depressed despite pursuing his passion in music and during one performance, he heard God's voice calling him to come home. Which kickstarted a journey that took him from the USA to Korea and now, Singapore.

He conceived a passion for Glaphyra, a Christian virgin handmaid of the Empress Constantia. When Glaphyra told Constantia of this, the Empress sent her away to Amasia in the East for her protection. There she was received and protected by Bishop Basil of that city. Licinius learned where Glaphyra was hiding and ordered that both she and the bishop be brought to him as prisoners. The soldiers who came for her found that she had already died, so they returned with only Bishop Basil, who was subjected to cruel tortures, then beheaded. His body was cast into the sea, but, with the help of an angel of God, his people found his body, retrieved it from the sea, and returned it to Amasia.   The Prologue adds, "The Emperor Constantine raised an army against Licinius, overcame him, arrested him and sent him into exile in Gaul, where he ended his God-hating days."

Hang on to your globe. One day it'll be a collector's item. The arrangement of continents you see today is not what it once was, nor what it will be tomorrow. Thank plate tectonics. Now evidence suggests that the crowding together of all major land masses into one supercontinent – Pangaea, as it's called – is a phenomenon that's happened over and over during Earth's history. And it will happen again. Meet our future supercontinent home, Amasia, and learn what it will look like. Meanwhile, as California waits for the Big One, geologists discover that major earthquakes come in clusters. Also, our planet is not the only solar system body with tectonic activity. Icy Europa is a mover and shaker too. And why is land in the western part of the U.S. literally rising up? Mystery solved! Guests: John Dvorak – Geologist, author of Earthquake Storms: The Fascinating History and Volatile Future of the San Andreas Fault Adrian Borsa – Geophysicist, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego Ross Mitchell – Geologist and post-doctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology Simon Kattenhorn – Structural geologist and a planetary geologist who did his work on Europa while at the University of Idaho First released September 29, 2014 Learn more about your ad choices.
