Stāsta Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas darbiniece, filoloģijas doktore Aija Taimiņa. Kāpēc viduslaiku bibliotēkās grāmatām bija stipras dzelzs ķēdes? Kāpēc tika veidotas katenātu (libri catenati, latīņu) jeb ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas? Pirmā atbilde vienmēr bijusi – lai nodrošinātos pret zagšanu. Bet varbūt grāmata (proti, tās saturs) ir bīstama, agresīva, tā būtu jāieslēdz, jāpieķēdē, lai nenonāktu nepiederošas personas rokās? (Lai atceramies stāstu par Hariju Poteru un epizodi Cūkkārpas bibliotēkas Slēgtajā nodaļā (Restricted section, angļu). Bet vai patiesi? Vai tam nav cita, racionāla skaidrojuma? Ķēde, kas fiksē grāmatu pie plaukta vai lasāmpults paredzēta drīzāk tam, lai saglabātu kārtību grāmatu skapjos un daudzu lasītāju  apmeklētās lasāmzālēs. Un vēl – grāmatas pieķēdēšana nevis ierobežo lasīt- un studētkāri, bet nodrošina to, lai svarīga grāmata ir visiem (kādam noteiktam lasītāju lokam) un vienmēr pieejama. To norāda pirmās, senākās ziņas par pieķēdētajām grāmatām. Proti, 11. gadsimtā Elzasā, Veisenburgas benediktīniešu klostera baznīcā bijušas četras pieķēdētas psalmu grāmatas; psaltērijs (Psalterium) ir svarīga viduslaiku liturģiskā grāmata, kas garīdzniekiem kalpoja ikdienas aizlūgumiem, tās saturā baznīcas gada ritējumam paredzētie psalmi, litānijas svētajiem. “Klosteris bez grāmatu skapjiem ir kā pilsēta bez ieroču arsenāla” (Claustrum sine armario, quasi castrum sine armamentario, latīņu), teica 12. gs. augustīnietis Žofruā de Breteijs (Geoffroy de  Breteuil, +1149). Viduslaiku bibliotēku daudzus gadu simtus  veidoja lielāki vai mazāki rokrakstu sējumi – pergamenta vai papīra kodeksi ar ādu pārvilktos koka vākos. Klosteriem bija savas bibliotēkas, dažiem izcilas, lielas un bagātas, citiem – pieticīgākas. Lasīšana (lectio monastica, latīņu) bija klauzūrai pakļauto klostera iemītnieku ikdienas dzīves norise. Slēgtajā klostera kopienas dzīvē bija paredzēti gan skaļi liturģiski lasījumi dievkalpojumos, bet visbiežāk brāļi vai māsas kopīgu pusdienu laikā refektorijā (remterī) noklausījās skaļu priekšā lasījumu (collatio ad mensam, latīņu): kādu atbilstošu teoloģisku tekstu, Bībeles vietu, citkārt stāstu par konventa vai ordeņa vēsturi. Monastiskā dzīvesveida sastāvdaļa bija individuāla jeb kontemplatīva lasīšana, lai lasot iedvesmotos lūgšanām un pārdomām. Tad grāmatu klosterbrālis (klostermāsa) lasīja pats vai nu savā guļamtelpā (dormitorijā) vai citā tam paredzētajā vietā. Viduslaiku intelektuālo eliti veidoja dominikāņu un franciskāņu ordeņi, kuru radītajās un uzturētajās mācību iestādēs vismaz kopš 13.gs. nodevās vairākus gadu ilgstošām teoloģijas, filosofijas, dabaszinātņu un mākslu studijām. Sprediķotāju (dominikāņu) un ubagotājmūku (minorītu) ordeņi veidoja vairāku līmeņu skolu tīklojumu, darbojās universitātēs. Visnopietnāko darbu ar grāmatām prasīja studijas, kas prasīja dziļi nodoties sholastiskajai lasīšanai. Ja klosterim bija sava mācību iestāde, tad lasīšana bija neatņemama mācību daļa, grāmatas bija nepieciešamas teoloģijas, tiesību, hagioloģijas, homilētikas studijām. Sholastiskā lasīšana prasīja rūpīgi studēt dažāda satura tekstus, meklēt citātus, salīdzinātu un pārbaudīt formulējumus. Turklāt ordenis gādāja tā deleģētajam augstskolas studentam vajadzīgās grāmatas. Garīgie ordeņi uzturēja plašas klosteru bibliotēkas, tomēr grāmatu krājums bija klostera vai ordeņa īpašums, nevis studenta vai ordeņa garīdznieka personīgā manta. Arī viduslaiku laicīgo universitāšu vidē sholastiskā lasīšana bija obligāta. Tātad grāmatas bija ļoti pieprasītas, nepieciešamas visai plašam lasītāju lokam, kā klosteros, tā augstskolās. Pirmajās jaundibināto universitāšu bibliotēkās noteikti bijuši visai ievērojami ķēžu grāmatu krājumi. Lielākajā vēlo viduslaiku universitātē, Parīzes Sorbonnā (izveidota 1150), 14. gs. vidū bija 1722 rokrakstu kodeksi; Heidelbergas universitātei 15.gs. vidū piederēja 800 manuskripti. Sena gravīra rāda Leidenes universitātes  profesoriem un studentiem pieejamo bibliotēku ar pultīm un pieķēdētām grāmatam, kas ierīkota 1610. gadā un veidota pēc Sorbonnas parauga. Piekļuvi universitāšu bibliotēku krājumiem visai stingri regulēja noteikumi, katrā augstskolā atšķirīgi. Daudzu Vācijas universitāšu bibliotēkās varēja strādāt tikai profesori, kam tika izsniegta bibliotēkas atslēgas. Oksfordas universitātes bibliotēkā 1412. gada drīkstēja lasīt tikai tie absolventi, kas jau 8 gadus bija studējuši filosofiju. Turklāt Sorbonnas un Oksfordas universitāšu bibliotēkas jau 13. gs. bija sadalītas divās daļās: “lielo bibliotēku” (magna libraria, latīņu) jeb  publikas (kopīgo) bibliotēku (bibliotheca publica, latīņu) veidoja uz vietas lasāmie pieķēdētie sējumi, bet grāmatas no plauktos un lādēs glabātās “mazās bibliotēkas”(parva libraria, latīņu) varēja arī aizlienēt un ņemt uz māju. “Mazo bibliotēku” dažviet sauca arī par slēgto (savrupo)  bibliotēku (bibliotheca secreta), to veidoja lielākoties tekstu dublikāti. Gluži tāpat arī klosteru bibliotēkās – viena daļa izcilāko grāmatu glabājās atsevišķi un bija domātas noslēgtam lokam, bet otra daļa bija izkārtota  visiem – garīdzniekiem, klosterbrāļiem un audzēkņiem pieejamos plauktos. Klostera grāmatu krājumam bieži ierādīja kādu atsevišķu telpu, grāmatas tika glabātas lādēs vai skapjos, un lielākoties guļus, kārtotas tematiskās grupās. Tikai vēlajos viduslaikos grāmatas sāka likt plauktos. Smagās un lielās grāmatas visbiežāk turēja uz slīpām pultīm  vai lasāmsoliem, lai lielos un smagos sējumus varētu lasīt stāvus – tā vieglāk strādāt, ērtāk lasīt sīkiem burtiem blīvi rakstīto tekstu, tā tiek optimāli izmantots pieticīgais lasītavas apgaismojums. Tikai lēnam izveidojās ieraša lasīt sēdus.  Smago sējumu pie slīpās pults fiksēja kalta dzelzs ķēde, kuras gredzens tika uzvērts uz metāla stieņa pults augšpusē, bet otrs gals piestiprināts grāmatas vākam. Jāzina, ka viduslaiku kodekss ārēji ir visai ‘mazrunīgs': sējumam ādas vākos nav nav ātri  atpazīstamu  ārējo pazīšanas zīmju (titula uzlīmju, etiķešu, uzrakstu uz muguriņām, šifru, inventāra Nr.). Grāmatai nav izteiksmīga vāka, titullapas, apdrukātas muguriņas. Tikai kāda neliela pergamenta uzlīme ar pāris vārdiem vai numuru uz vāka... vai ar melnu tinti lieliem trekniem burtiem uzrakstīts zīmīgs vārds uz grāmatas griezuma; jo grāmatas plauktos bieži novietoja ar ādas muguriņu uz iekšu... Tāpēc kārtības uzturēšana senā klostera vai universitātes bibliotēkā ar daudziem gandrīz vienādiem brūnas ādas sējumiem ir būtiski svarīga; grāmatai ir tik viegli nomaldīties un pazaudēties starp līdzīgajām. Grāmatniecības vēsturnieks Henrijs Petroski asprātīgi teicis: “Mēs parasti domājam par grāmatām, nevis par to plauktiem. Ielikt grāmatu atpakaļ plauktā ir apmēram tas pats, kas ielikt atpakaļ sardīni konservu kārbā” (Henry Petroski, 1999). Ne velti latīņu valodā viduslaiku  bibliotēkas glabātāja – ‘armarius' apzīmējums atvasināts no vārda ‘armarium' – skapis. Labs bibliotēkas pārzinis jeb ‘skapinieks' darīs visu, lai grāmatas zinātu savu vietu arī tad, ja bibliotēku vēlas lietot daudzi apmeklētāji. Efektīvs viduslaiku risinājums bija ķēde, kas piesaista grāmatu vietai: lasāmpultij vai plauktam. Ķēde var nosargāt bibliotēkas krājumus; tā līdz pret zagšanu – grāmatu nav daudz, un tās ir ievērojama vērtība; pret sajukumu krājumā un pavaļīgi izņemšanu un atvietošanu. Turklāt ķēde pasargā masīvo un vērtīgo kodeksu no kritiena. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas prakse apsīka līdz ar grāmatiespiešanas straujo progresu: grāmatu skaits strauji pieauga, arī sējumi vairs nebija tik masīvi un smagi. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas vēsturē slēpjas arī kādi paradoksi. Proti, dažkārt grāmatu pieķēdēja, lai to publiskajā telpā varētu brīvi lasīt visi. Anglijas karlis Henrijs VIII 1537. gadā pavēlējis pieķēdēt Bībeli katrā draudzes baznīcā, lai draudzes locekļi var tai paši piekļūt un lasīt. Citviet līdzīgu iemeslu dēļ ticis pieķēdēts katķisms. Tāpat arī Anglijas karalis Eduards VI 1547. gadā lika turēt baznīcā pieejamā vietā Bībeli angliski un Roterdamas Erasma  Evaņģēliju pārstāstus latīniski (Paraprhrases, 1517). Tā garīdzniekiem un  draudzei ik brīdi bija pieejama stacionāri vienā vietā fiksēta grāmata.  Reformācijas laika prakse bija balstīta protestantisma pamatprincipā sola scriptura (tikai raksti), kas jau agrāk bija tikusi aprobēts viduslaiku klostera baznīcā Veisenburgā. Viduslaiku  atmiņas (memoria) un piemiņas kultūrā iekļaujas senajos testamentos un dāvinājumu dokumentos  izteiktā griba dāvināt kādam klosterim (baznīcai, bibliotēkai) ķēžu grāmatas. Tā līdz ar pieķēdētajām grāmatām ilgstošā piemiņā  tiktu saglabāts arī dāvinātāja vārds. Ir iespējams joprojām apmeklēt vairākas senas bibliotēkas, kas saglabājušas sākotnēji izveidotās ķēžu grāmatu lasītavas: vecākā ir Itālijā, Čezēnas (Cesena) pilsētā netālu no Boloņas. Tur joprojām aplūkojama 15. gs. vidū (1447–1452) izveidotā Malatestu ģimenes  bibliotēka Libraria Malatestiana, kuras sākotne ir  vietējā franciskāņu klostera grāmatu krātuve. Malatestu bibliotēkas lasītavā pie pultīm pieslēgti 343 viduslaiku manuskripti. Anglijā, Oksfordas universitātes Bodleana bibliotēkas ievērojamākā un senākā daļa ir Hamfrija Lankastera, Glosteras hercoga (Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, 1390–1447) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka (281 sējums), ko hercogs bija novēlējis universitātei. Herfordas katedrāles (Hereford Cathedral) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka ierīkota 17.gs. vidū un tajā atrodas 229 viduslaiku manuskripti. Holandē,  Zitfenā (Zutphen), Sv. Valbergas baznīcas bibliotēka tikusi pieķēdēta tikai 1546.gadā, jo tad sākuši zust sējumi, un tika pieņemts, ka Sātans zog vērtīgākās grāmatas. Pēc apspriešanās tika pieķēdētas 286 grāmatas. Katra ķēde tika apslacīta ar svētītu ūdeni. Iesējumam piestiprinātā ķēde visdrošāk liecina par grāmatas piederību kāda klostera bibliotēkai. Ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas noteikti bija arī Livonijā, Rīgā. Daudzas grāmatas ar 15. gs. pēdējā trešdaļā / 16. gs. sākumā kaltām dzelzs ķēdēm (un ķēžu stiprinājumu paliekām) lielākoties nākušas no diviem nozīmīgākajiem Rīgas klosteriem – no Rīgas Sv. Jāņa Kristītāja dominikāņu klostera un Rīgas Sv. Katrīnas franciskāņu observantu klostera. Tomēr nav zināms, kur Rīgas franciskāņu un dominikāņu klosteros bija ierādīta vieta viņu grāmatu plauktiem un lasāmpultīm. Tāpat nevar ar pārliecību apgalvot, ka klosteru grāmatas iesietas un ķēdes piestiprinātas tieši Rīgā. Pēc reformācijas laika nemieriem daudzas abu klosteru grāmatas nonāca Rīgas pilsētas pārziņā un nogulās Rīgas pilsētas bibliotēkā. Tagad Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas krājumā ir visai ievērojams, unikāls  katenātu krājums: 76 kodeksiem ķēde ir saglabājusies (tie ir 15.gs. 70.–90. gadu iespieddarbi, un pāris 16. gs. sākuma (1505–1519) izdevumi); vēl 40 grāmatas savu ķēdi laika gaitā ir zaudējušas, kaut ķēdes stiprinājuma paliekas tās esamību pārliecinoši  apstiprina. Te jāpiebilst, ka racionālisma laikmets pret ķēžu grāmatām bija visai nežēlīgs, daudzas lielās, modernās bibliotēkas lika smagās un neveiklās ķēdes noņemt, lai tās netraucētu. Rīgas katenāti ir lieliska, patiesi autentiska viduslaiku materiālās kultūras liecība, kas stāsta par ļoti senu grāmatniecības tradīciju.

 Today's witness is from my friend Bruce. Bruce reached out to me randomly back in November. He found my podcast and wanted to send in his testimony for witness wednesday. His testimony was about how he went to a healing service and regained his sight and then lost it again when he woke up. I offered to pray with Him, and he agreed. We have prayed together three times now. Bruce has not regained his sight, but something amazing happened each time we prayed together. You can find the testimony from the last two times we prayed together on the Witness Wednesday playlist on YouTube. You can also find them on whatever podcast app you are listening to right now. Today's witness is about when Bruce and his lovely wife Alice came from Canada to visit Gloucester, MA, and my friend and I got to pray with them in person instead of over the phone. It was a great time, and I am so grateful the Lord brought Bruce, Alice, and me together. I know you will enjoy this witness as much as I enjoyed it. God is working in such miraculous ways!Dear Catherine,It is two months from today that we met with you and Nancy in Rockport. In the meantime, you have been to Scotland and back and I have had a new experience which I will tell you about. You may use it in your Witness Wednesday if you would like to. On July 23rd, my wife Alice and I had the pleasure of meeting with Catherine and her friend Nancy for lunch. This vacation had been planned well in advance before we met Catherine. It turned out that Nancy's home was just down the road from where we were staying. Sitting outside by the ocean, the four of us chatted and also prayed together for healing. There was no major change in my eyesight at that time, but I realized that the floaters and shifting debris that I normally saw, were gone. It felt like I had more life in my eyes - just a feeling. This visit was a real blessing and encouragement for us before heading for home a couple of days later.For some time I had been without any sight in my left eye and was able to see light and shadows in my right eye. After this recent change my right eye went completely dark but the movement of floaters was gone. I couldn't tell the difference between day or night. I couldn't see if there were any lights on in the house. Things were the same whether my eyes were open or shut. I had to make an adjustment to this. I found the darkness heavy and depressing. I also felt spiritually let down and more isolated. I heard someone talking about God's light of the world and I thought, we often ask the Lord to shine His face upon us in the Benediction. It was a Monday in August and I told the Lord how I felt. I wanted to somehow have more communication with Him. I didn't want to be in the dark anymore, and would He please shine His light upon me. The next day, Tuesday, I listened to Catherine's podcast which was about Jesus the Light of the world. This felt like my prayer was going somewhere and I became vigilant. That night I went to bed about 1:00 a.m. I was laying on my back in the dark. A small white light appeared in my head space. It seemed to sparkle and it began moving. It became brighter and larger and closer, shining with the brightness of lightning. I felt the light overtake me and I put my face in the pillow. The light was still there and I realized it was within me. It was beautiful and exciting. I began thanking and praising the Lord for this joyful experience. This light would move and pulse brighter then lower going on for an hour and a half until I fell asleep. I wanted to wake Alice but I didn't want to interrupt her sleep or the light. When I awoke in the morning, the light was gone. I figured this was a one time experience. Later that morning, I began telling Alice about it. I stopped and said, It's happening again right now. There was an arch of brilliant white light before me. Beautiful as ever. It stayed with me for a couple of hours, coming and going into the night. This continued daily much to my joy. I noticed whenever I sat at the table it would appear. Whenever I listen to my audio Bible or even thought about the Lord or spiritual matters, it would appear. I found myself talking with the Lord in this light. If I was praying it would appear. It was always with me when I went to sleep. I soon realized I could call on it by asking it to appear. I was quite amazed by the way this all happened, by the communication which took place , and the overwhelming feeling of God's love. There was nothing to do but simply enjoy the moment with the Lord and His light. As I write this, the Lord still shines his light upon me, every day and every night. This has been an unexpected and thrilling blessing for me, far better than I hoped for. I can't help but feel this is leading me somewhere good. My hope and faith has never been more confident than it is now. It is so easy for me to trust the Lord to love me and walk me where He wants to take me. He really is my guiding light. I have in the past had close encounters with Jesus which have been marvelous. But this encounter in His light seems to never end. How wonderful is this. It lifts my heart to look back and see how God works in our lives. Alice and I had planned our trip to Glouchester long before we knew Catherine. Her podcast came out of the blue one night on my google home and caught my attention. Her faithfulness and prayer support is so appreciated. Through Catherine and the prayer group she attends, I have also met Nancy and talked with Robert and learned that they have also prayed for me. These friends in prayer and support have inspired me and I am privileged to know them. My visit in July was meant to be some sort of breakthrough. That's what I had prayed for. As often is the case, I felt things didn't go as I had hoped. As it turned out, I received a blessing I never expected along with new found faith and hope. A few years ago I heard a story told by an Anglican minister in England. He was known for his healing ministry. He told the story of a women who had lost her sight in both eyes. The women related how she started seeing a white light. This light would come and go from time to time and would vary in intensity. She said this went on for some time. One day she heard about a special healing ministry near her. The light continued to be with her. She made her way to the healing service in Blackpool. After preaching the gospel of Jesus, the minister invited people to come forward for healing prayer. Many people went forward and she waited in her seat where she was healed.I thank the Lord every time I see his light. I thank the Lord for my friends in Massachusetts.May the Lord bless you Catherine and your ministry.Bruce and AliceThank you so much for sharing your testimony with us and for allowing me to share it on my Witness Wednesday. I know your story will give hope to so many others out there who are also waiting for some pretty big answers to some pretty big prayers. Your faithfulness will help them trust in the Lord more. Thank you again for sharing and we can't wait to hear your testimony when your sight is fully restored for good this time! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

If you liked The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, you're going to love Gail Brenner Nastasia's memoir, The Fruit You'll Never See. Now a criminal defense attorney in Massachusetts, Nastasia grew up in the fishing town of Gloucester, Mass. where she was introduced at a very young age to the underbelly of adult addictions and perversions. Growing up in a family riddled by mental illness and drug addiction, Gail experienced her childhood trauma as "normal" -- as it was all she knew. In exquisitely honest detail, Gail shares her history of abuse without anger or blame. In fact, she refuses to see the people who subjected her to abuse as bad. They are, she believes, also the victims of their circumstances. Please take a listen to this episode, sisters. For one thing, it's a master class in forgiveness, hope, healing, and moving on. For another, it is, sadly, the very last episode of Sisters Cracking Up. We have spent the last 5 years joyfully interviewing the most incredible of guests who have taught us so much. And we will miss you, our wonderful sisters, who listened in and helped make Sisters Cracking Up the success it is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A million times over.  Signing off with love,  Abby and Julie

A bumper podcast with lots to get through! Firstly Gloucester kept their Playoff hopes alive with a vital bonus point win away at Falcons. Other results (sort of) went our way, meaning that although not entirely in the Cherry & Whites' hands, there is a clear path to a top four finish. Meanwhile we discuss the latest announcements of leavers and new signings at Gloucester - including the disappointing confirmation that Chris Harris, Ruan Ackermann and Freddie Clarke are all off to pastures new (yet to be confirmed).Elsewhere as England announce their first 33 man camp ahead of this summers tour of Argentina and the USA, with four Glaws players included, we also chat about the continuing psychodrama that is Welsh Rugby.Finally, we hope you enjoy hearing about Jim's experience at the Dragon Boat Festival (Did you spot our banner kindly provided by PGT LLP?)Ed PriceJim HarleyRuss BrookesCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

in 5: MATABOT: Apple saca músculo y humor desde el futuro Serie de ciencia ficción con tintes de comedia que se basa en las novelas de Martha Wells. La historia sigue a un androide de seguridad que, tras adquirir libre albedrío, se enfrenta a una crisis existencial mientras protege a un grupo de científicos en un planeta peligroso. Protagonizada por Alexander Skarsgård, la serie ha sido elogiada por su enfoque original y su mezcla de humor y reflexión. NOTA EDC: 4,5 estrellas Min 12: LEGADO: Netflix España ya tiene su Succession La serie ha sido comparada con "Succession" por su temática de luchas familiares y empresariales. Sin embargo, algunos críticos señalan que, aunque "Legado" ofrece entretenimiento y un reparto sólido, carece de la sutileza y originalidad de su contraparte estadounidense . La interpretación de José Coronado ha sido destacada como uno de los puntos fuertes de la serie, aportando credibilidad y profundidad a su personaje. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 17: FRED Y ROSE: UNA HISTORIA BRITÁNICA DE TERROR Miniserie documental de tres episodios, dirigida por Dan Dewsbury y estrenada en Netflix el 14 de mayo. Revisita uno de los casos criminales más atroces del Reino Unido: los asesinatos cometidos por Fred y Rose West entre 1967 y 1987. A través de grabaciones policiales inéditas y testimonios de familiares, investigadores y periodistas, se reconstruye el reinado de terror que la pareja instauró en su hogar de Gloucester, conocido como la "casa de los horrores". NOTA EDC 3 estrellas Min 24; THE LAST OF US 2X05: SIENTE SU AMOR "Siente su amor" marca un punto de inflexión en la narrativa, mostrando la transformación de Ellie en su camino de venganza. Ellie y Dina continúan su travesía por Seattle, enfrentándose a los peligros de la ciudad y a las tensiones internas de su relación. La búsqueda de venganza lleva a Ellie a confrontar a Nora en el hospital Lakehill, donde se desata una escena intensa y violenta que refleja la creciente oscuridad en la protagonista. El episodio culmina con un flashback que muestra un momento más feliz entre Ellie y Joel, contrastando con la brutalidad actual. NOTA EDC: 4,5 estrellas Min 33: SECCIÓN BSO THE STUDIO La banda sonora de The Studio, la sátira hollywoodense de Apple TV+ protagonizada por Seth Rogen, se erige como un elemento narrativo esencial que potencia el ritmo frenético y el humor ácido de la serie. Compuesta por Antonio Sánchez, reconocido por su trabajo en Birdman, la partitura fusiona percusión jazzística con una selección ecléctica de canciones clásicas y contemporáneas, reflejando el caos y la ironía del mundo cinematográfico que retrata la serie. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas

Another game at Twickenham ends in defeat for Gloucester, this time meaning that the Cherry & Whites playoff hopes hang by a thread as Quins outmuscled and outplayed us.

Finally a brief chat about the other news in the Womens' game as Sale continue to build for next season.Ed PriceJim HarleyRuss BrookesCherry Jam is proud to be sponsored by PGT LLP

In the quiet elegance of 1880s Cheltenham, a spectral presence stirred unease in a grand old family mansion in the centre of town. The ghost—described as a tall, veiled woman in black—appeared repeatedly to the daughters of the Despard family, moving silently through the house and vanishing without trace. Witnessed by multiple family members over several years, the haunting became one of Britain's most documented supernatural cases, thanks to the efforts of the newly founded Society for Psychical Research, who jumped at the chance to study a haunted house, first hand.

Gloucester County has a rich history tied to our many waterways. To fish, oyster, crab and boat has long been part of our culture. However, zoning laws along many of our shorelines don't support these historic uses - and that oversight has sometimes led to tension between our water-based businesses and our residents.How can we preserve and protect our beautiful shorelines, while also encouraging their economic potential?We've brought on board a grant-funded researcher to get community input on this issue, and make recommendations for potential future laws. This is the moment to weigh in on how you view, and interact with, Gloucester's waterfront!TAKE THE SURVEY: https://s.surveyplanet.com/q0pshh3sCall Planning, Zoning & Environmental Programs: 804-693-1224

When Sarkin was 35 he suffered a massive stroke. He emerged with an insatiable urge to make art, but he struggled to break into the mainstream. He died last year at the age of 71. Now, his old studio has reopened as a gallery – part of an effort to solidify his artistic legacy.

This week the boys run the rule over the business end of the Premiership and URC as teams vie for the top 4 and top 8 respectively....We hear from Max after Bristol's hopes are dented with defeat at Northampton. While commentators are all saying Alex Mitchell better pack his bags for Australia... but what to the boys think?They also pick over the embers of Exeter's capitulation at Gloucester and the subsequent fallout with coaches fired and owners reading the riot acts....But has Tomos Williams's outstanding performance earned him a ticket down under?Leicester roar to victory over a Quins side that seem to have suffered a case of the yips while the mighty Sale slay Saracens... Another commanding performance from George Ford.... why is he not in the mix or in the conversation for Lions recognition and should he be?Meanwhile in the URC, the unstoppbale juggernaut Leinster losing to the Scarlets... how much of a shock is that (it was their second team) and does Ryan Wilson finally, begrudgingly, admit that they haven't peaked too soon and they wont care a jot about this loss?And what about the Warriors losing at home to the Bulls? The boys wax lyrical about the man mountain that is Jan-Hendrik Wessels....We then turn out attentions to the Champions Cup semi finals..... who do we think will get a chance to go for gold in Cardiff on the 24th May?Head over to www.debra.org.uk to support this incredible charity!As always, like subscribe and enjoy!!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The business end of the season is heating up with Leicester peaking at the right time, Sale's masterclass over Jim's Sarries, and Gloucester hammering Exeter. The lads cover all this plus a bit of giant-killing down in Wales with Cardiff and Scarlets getting one over their Irish brethren. We're also joined by Cardiff boss Matt Sherratt to get his thoughts. Plus, new Prem TV deals, academy dramas, new idea from Rassie Erasmus, and plenty more other news. Settle back, enjoy, and make sure you're subscribed on Spotify! Learn more about your ad choices.

Alfie Reynolds and Alex Lowe look back on the Premiership action at the weekend. They look at Gloucester's continuing rise and ask whether Bristol have been figured out or are they just not executing well enough? And did Sale Sharks score the try of the season against Saracens? Plus Elgan Alderman reviews another 6 Nations grand slam for the Red Roses who beat France by a point. Was that the test John Mitchell's side really needed ahead of a home world cup? Also, Alfie and Alex are at Twickenham to hear from the top brass at the RFU, including chief executive Bill Sweeney. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fred y Rose West no eran una pareja común. Tras la fachada de una familia aparentemente normal, escondían uno de los secretos más aterradores de la historia criminal británica. Durante décadas, atrajeron, torturaron en su y acabaron con la vida de al menos 13 mujeres jóvenes —incluyendo a su propia hija— enterrándolas en el jardín y el sótano de su casa. Y eso, es solo lo peor de su caso, pero hay cosas mucho más escalofriantes y escabrosas. En este episodio de Terrores Criminales, exploramos el infierno que se escondía en la casa de los horrores de Gloucester. Desde su historia de infancia marcada por abusos, hasta la forma en que operaban como un equipo de asesinos en serie.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Construction Safety Perspectives, host Bob Kunz speaks with Rena Harrington — a mother whose world changed forever on January 18, 2018, when her 27-year-old son, Justin, was killed in a workplace accident while working on a residential construction site in Gloucester, Massachusetts.Rena shares the emotional story of Justin's life, his passion for heavy equipment and construction work, and the troubling safety concerns he voiced just days before the accident. She takes listeners through the harrowing timeline of being notified — not by police at her door, but through a series of calls while at work — and how her family found out about his death through a news article being shared on Facebook before official confirmation.Through grief, heartbreak, and unimaginable loss, Rena has become a powerful advocate for change. Today, she is an active voice within the United Support & Memorial for Workplace Fatalities (USMWF) — a national nonprofit organization that supports families affected by preventable workplace deaths and helps them navigate the difficult process of investigations, OSHA proceedings, and workers' compensation.In this episode, Rena speaks candidly about: • The critical safety oversights on Justin's job site • How young workers often aren't aware of their rights or options • Gaps in how employers handle emergency contact protocols • The emotional toll of workplace loss and the lack of accountability many families face • Her ongoing legislative work in Massachusetts to strengthen workers' comp funeral benefits and hold small employers to safer standards • And how she found strength and healing by helping other families through USMWFThis episode is not just a tribute to Justin — it's a call to action for employers, regulators, and construction professionals to ensure that no other family experiences what Rena has.To learn more about USMWF or to connect with someone for support after a workplace fatality, visit: https://usmwf.orgThe organization provides emotional support, access to resources, and helps families share their stories to raise awareness and push for real safety reform.
