Luca Mercalli, meteorologo e presidente della società metereologica italiana, ha parlato delle conseguenze dell'aumento delle temperature Venerdì 26 luglio i nostri Degiornalist hanno intervistato Luca Mercalli, climatologo e presidente della Società metereologica italiana. Per parlare dell'aumento di due gradi della temperatura della Terra, Mercalli ha fatto una metafora: «Questi due gradi sono un indicatore, come la febbre. Quando si hanno due gradi in più il corpo umano sta male». Il meteorologo ha spiegato ai microfoni di Fabiana Paolini e Claudio Chiari che l'incremento di calore nell'atmosfera ha portato a eventi disastrosi, come piogge alluvionali, trombe d'aria e tempeste. Tutti questi fenomeni cominciano anche a minacciare la nostra qualità di vita: «Basta vedere i conti delle assicurazioni: sei miliardi di euro solo l'anno scorso in Italia di danni assicurati, prodotti da alluvioni, grandinate e siccità». L'EMERGENZA - «Dobbiamo essere allarmati» Ha continuato Mercalli «Per tre giorni consecutivi abbiamo toccato le temperature più alte della storia del mondo da quando si fanno i rilevamenti: 17,15 gradi Celsius. La temperatura media della Terra non si era mai vista così alta». Il meteorologo ha dichiarato che la situazione è problematica, ma non ce ne curiamo perché siamo distratti da false rassicurazioni, ci sono inoltre interessi economici e politici: «Non ci preoccupiamo della siccità finché il pozzo non è asciutto». Al momento i problemi sono ancora superabili, per questo non pensiamo alla prevenzione: «Quando i danni saranno più gravi ed evidenti, saranno ormai irreversibili».

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá déag de mhí Mheán Fómhair. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail. Tharla dhá thubaiste nádúrtha uafásacha i dtuaisceart na hAfraice an tseachtain seo caite. Tharla crith talún ar mhéid 6.9, ar a dtugtar 'foréigneach' ar scála déine Mercalli, i Maracó, 70 ciliméadar siar ó dheas ó Marrakesh, agus cailleadh 3,000 duine. Ba é an crith talún ba láidre a taifeadadh sa tír ó bhí 1960 ann. Ansin, taifeadadh an cioclón ba mharfaí riamh sa Mheánmhuir, Stoirm Daniel. Bhí tuilte in a lán tíortha sa réigiún ach tharla an tubaiste ba mheasa sa Libia nuair a cailleadh níos mó ná 10,000 duine sa chathair Derna ar chósta thoir na tíre. Tá géarchéim dhaonnúil ar siúl anois, agus an chathair druidte roimh shibhialtaigh ar eagla go scaipfí galar trí uisce éilithe. Tá seirbhísí éigeandála fós ag cuardach daoine a tháinig slán as an tubaiste. Tá Ceannaire Uachtarach na Cóire Thuaidh, Kim Jong-un, ar cuairt sa Rúis. Creidtear gur mhaith leis an Chreimil airm a cheannach don chogadh san Úcráin. Thaistil Kim Jong-un ar thraein speisialta philéardhíonach agus thug ceannairí an dá thír gunnaí dá chéile, mar aon le bronntanais eile, ar cruinniú mullaigh Dé Céadaoin. Dúirt Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin go gcuideodh an Rúis leis an Chóiré Thuaidh maidir le teicneolaíocht satailíte, rud a sháródh roinnt rún ó Chomhaile Slándála na Náisiún Aontaithe. Meastar go bhfuil 'cultas pearsan' ar siúl sa Chóiré Thuaidh, agus brú ar an phobal ollmheas a léiriú don Cheannaire Uachtarach agus na Ceananairí a tháinig roimhe: a athair, Kim Jong-il, agus a sheanathair, Kim Il-sung. Chuir foireann na hÉireann tús maith le Corn an Domhain sa Rugbaí an deireadh seachtaine seo caite nuair a fuair siad an bua ba mhó riamh ag Éirinn sa chomórtas seo. Scóráil an Rómáin úd go luath sa chéad leath ach d'fhreagair foireann na hÉireann le dhá úd déag; 82 pointe in aghaidh 8 bpointe an scór ag an deireadh. Fuair Johnny Sexton féin 24 phointe sa chluiche, agus anois tá níos mó pointí scóráilte aige ag Corn an Domhain ná aon imreoir Éireannach eile. Tá Sexton 38 mbliana d'aois, agus é ag teacht i dtreo dheireadh a ghairme imeartha, ach táthar ag súil go gcuideoidh sé le hÉirinn éacht a dhéanamh sa chomórtas seo.

Reflect and Discuss:1. Explain why Matthew 26-27 is so crucial to our understanding of God, the world, sin, salvation, etc.2. What impact should the cross have on our reading of the previous chapters in Matthew's Gospel?3. Discuss how the following attributes of God are displayed in the cross: sovereignty, righteousness, wrath, and love.4.

We were celebrating Christmas at my brother's house and outside on his elevated deck. We were grouped and ready to snap the picture when the deck opened like a trap door dropping all but my mom in a pile 15 feet below. My brother and his wife, our four daughters, their husbands, and 2 grandsons. I cannot describe to you the horror we experienced looking around and see a pile of bodies of your closes family members and the wailing…it's still pretty intense. For us, that day felt like all hell broke loose.SERMON OUTLINEQ1. What do I want you to know?A. What to do when all hell breaks loose. Jesus and the 12 are about to go through a hellacious night and day. Actually, 3 days. The disciples will suffer for bailing on Jesus. Jesus will suffer the wrath of God for humanity on the cross and wherever he goes after that. There will never be a more intense set of circumstances than the ones that Jesus will experience. The 12 will go through a lot too.As we look at this, we'll probably realize that while we are going through our stuff too, there are principles that we can take away from this that will prepare us for that eventuality. If you're not going through your excruciating trauma, you might want to prepare to. Because in this life we will have trouble. My aim today is to give you four tools to put into your prep or go bag so that you'll be as ready as you can be for the unexpected trauma that is coming your way.Q2. Why do I want them to know it?A. So they'll be able to prepare for that day.God gives us some principles here (and next week too) that will help us prepare for the challenges ahead. To know that they are coming and not prepare is just foolish. They may not come. You may be spared. But even then the preparations you end up not needing will equip those around you for the challenges that they will encounter and your preparations will be God's gracious provision for them.Q3. What do I want them to do about it?A. Prepare for the day when all hell breaks loose.I know it seems a little silly. I don't care. I carry a back pack in my truck that has a few snacks, bottles of water, and other various things for the unlikely chance that we have an earthquake in Charleston and I'm in Mt Pleasant at the time. If we have an earthquake, the bridges will not be safe to drive across. Of course, I will want to get home. So I will park my truck, grab my bag and start walking. It's a 32-35 mile walk, depending on your route. Under ideal circumstances (daytime vs night; calm vs chaos; etc.), it will take you 11-12 hours (without rest stops) to walk from Barnes & Noble at Town Center and my house in the Knightsville area. I don't know if stores will be open after an serious earthquake or not. But I will be glad I had that backpack. And that's just an earthquake. (We're overdue for another, in case you're new to the area) Hurricanes you can see coming. Tornadoes, bombs, shootings, terrorist attacks…these are no longer far-fetched. To not prepare at all is sticking your head in the sand and hoping nothing happens in your lifetime. And that's to say nothing about how you're preparing your kids and grandkids for a future that doesn't look so bright.I want us to prepare. Whether it's a persona/family catastrophe or a national emergency, we need to prepare—physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But since we all know it's impossible to prepare for all possibilities, I hope you will see the infinite value in preparing spiritually and will start there. You can do these simultaneously but start with spiritually. Q4. Why do I want them to do it?A. So that they'll respond like Jesus did when all hell breaks loose.I want us to respond to this. I want us to start to prepare or build on your preparations—starting spiritually. For your sake. For your family's sake. For your neighbor's sake. For your church family's sake. Your preparations will help you and others in the long run. Q. How can they begin to do this?A. 3 parts here:Remember that he is faithful and forgives even when we bail on him.Surrender, denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following him.Not your will but mine vs Not my will but yoursEden vs GethsemaneWatch and pray as we do, remember and believe these things.ConclusionIt might sound silly, but I keep a go-bag in my car (and Anita's) in case we get stuck somewhere and have to walk home. For example, if I was at Barnes & Noble on a Friday afternoon and Charleston was hit by another earthquake like the one in 1886, the bridges would be closed (if not damaged) and I'd have to walk home or drive a long way around in gridlock. (See below for Charleston earthquake of 1886)Bottom line: Prepare today for that day when all hell breaks loose.The day our family fell together was traumatic for us. We're still healing from it. Not just the physical either. In fact, the mental/emotional toil is probably the hardest to heal from.But I can tell you that our family was prepared and came through this much better than we deserved because of God's grace. In his grace, he prepared us byREMINDING US THAT WE ARE FORGIVEN. Even when we bail on Jesus, he forgives when we confess our sins to him.TEACHING US HOW TO LIVE SURRENDERED. Our lives are a gift. We don't deserve our life. We don't have to exist. But we do. And God's grace is there for us every day whether we acknowledge it or not. Living surrendered is a life-long journey. Because our human nature wants to save our life. But God calls us to live in light of eternity. That perspective really served us well as we took those mental trips down the road called worse-case scenario. This could have ended a lot worse than it did. One daughter still has another surgery ahead. One son-in-law still doesn't have full range of motion in his shoulder. We're all dealing with different levels of post trauma stress. We're still triggered at times by sounds or words. But surrendering your life to God helps with all of these things. Finally, WATCHING AND PRAYING. We are more alert on any deck now:-). We're so glad our deck at home is only 12 inches high, I'll tell you that. Elevators and apartment stairwells are still a challenge at times. But watching and praying remind us to be vigilant about all things in life. Not to stress out about everything but to rest in the peace of God in everything. I like to say, prepare as if it all depends on you, but pray and trust God as if it all depends on him. God is faithful.God is able. God cares. Trust himPrayNotesSweating drops of blood = Hematohydrosis1886 Charleston earthquakeThe 1886 Charleston earthquake in South Carolina occurred about 9:50 p.m. local time August 31. It caused 60 deaths and $5–6 million ($179.14 million in 2022) in damage to 2,000 buildings in the Southeastern United States. It is one of the most powerful and damaging earthquakes to hit the East Coast of the United States.[3]Scientists have classified it as an intraplate earthquake, and said that it had an estimated moment magnitude of 6.9–7.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of X (Extreme). Very little to no historical earthquake activity had occurred in this region, which is unusual for any seismic area.[3]EarthquakeThe shock was felt as far away as Boston, Massachusetts, to the north, Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the northwest, New Orleans, Louisiana, to the west, and across water to Cuba to the south, and Bermuda to the east.[4] The earthquake was so severe that outside the immediate area, there was speculation that the Florida peninsula had broken away from North America.[5] There were at least 60 fatalities.OUTLINE MATTHEW 26Jesus and disciples celebrate Passover in the upper room.

Jesus not only taught us to pray 'your will be done', he also prayed it himself: 'My Father, if there is any way, get me out of this. But please, not what I want. You, what do you want?' (v.39, MSG). A second time he prayed, 'My father, if there is no other way than this, drinking this cup to the dregs, I'm ready. Do it your way' (v.42, MSG).These are not prayers of resignation, but prayers of great courage - being willing to follow God's ways, no matter what.In this passage we see Jesus' humanity: 'He began to show grief and distress and was deeply depressed' (v.37, AMP). He has his three closest friends with him. The same three who saw Jesus in divine glory at the transfiguration now see Jesus in the depths of human sorrow. He prays for God the Father to show him if there is any alternative. Nevertheless, he is willing to do the Father's will whatever the cost.For Jesus, the cost was of a totally different order to anything we face. He took the sins of the whole world on his shoulders. Hence his soul was 'overwhelmed with sorrow' (v.38). Three times, Jesus prays for 'this cup' to be taken away from him (VV.39,42,44). The cup refers to his impending suffering and death.Just before going to the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus spoke of the cup at the Passover meal representing his blood 'poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins' (v.28). More than that, as is often the case in the Old Testament, this cup includes reference to God's wrath (for example Isaiah 51:22; Habakkuk 2:16). On the cross, Jesus took the cup in your place.When you are deeply depressed, overwhelmed with sorrow, troubled or in the middle of tough times, it is such an encouragement to know that Jesus has experienced all that you face, and far more. He knows what vou are going through and vou can follow his example by submitting your ways to God.There is an amazing contrast between what took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and in the Garden of Eden. 'Not your way, but mine' was the essence of the response of Adam and Eve to God in the first garden. However, in the second garden, 'Not my way, but yours' was Jesus' prayer to the Father. Doing it God's way meant suffering and death. But, it brought the redemption of the whole world.MAIN REFERENCES USED“Preaching the Word” Commentary, Douglas Sean O'Donnell, Edited by Kent Hughes“Matthew” by RC Sproul“The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC)“The Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC)“Exalting Jesus in Matthew” by David Platt (CCE)Outline Bible, D Willmington NIV Study Bible (NIVSB) https://www.biblica.com/resources/scholar-notes/niv-study-bible/ESV Study Bible (ESVSB) https://www.esv.orgChatGPT https://openai.com/blog/chatgptAnswerThePublic.comWikipedia.com

On 6 February 2023, an earthquake struck southern and central Turkey, and northern and western Syria. It occurred 34 km (21 mi) west of the city of Gaziantep at 04:17 AM TRT (01:17 UTC), with a magnitude of at least Mw 7.8, and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). There was widespread damage and tens of thousands of fatalities. It was the deadliest and strongest earthquake in Turkey since the 1939 Erzincan earthquake, of the same magnitude, together with which it is the second strongest in the history of the country after 1668 North Anatolia earthquake. It was also the deadliest earthquake to have affected Syria since the 1822 Aleppo earthquake, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in the Levant, and the deadliest earthquake worldwide since the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It was felt and caused structural damage as far as Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and the Black Sea coast of Turkey.

Nella mattinata di martedì 22 novembre, ai microfoni dei Degiornalist con Fabiana, è stato ospite il climatologo e meteorologo Luca Mercalli per parlare dei fenomeni metereologici che stanno preoccupando il nostro pianeta. «Si parla poco dell'emergenza climatica, perché riteniamo ci siano problemi più impellenti da risolvere - spiega Mercalli -. È un tema complicato, che richiede enormi sforzi sul tema delle energie, delle materie prime, dei rifiuti e dello stile di vita, che non riceve però il consenso politico». Mercalli ha detto che quando ci occupiamo di clima dobbiamo tenere presente che «la finestra di prevenzione si sta chiudendo e ci restano pochi anni affinché la cura sia efficace. Entro il 2050 dobbiamo portare le emissioni a zero, ma dobbiamo iniziare oggi, perché altrimenti non arriviamo in tempo e il cambiamento diventerebbe irreversibile».

Para una nueva entrega de #EntrevistasBacanas hablamos con María Constanza Flores, más conocida en redes sociales como @srta.replica, la influencer de los sismos. Con ella discutimos sobre ser mujer en el mundo del STEM, la importancia de la divulgación científica y la diferencia entre Richter y Mercalli, además de si le gustan o no los mitos urbanos telúricos como el Cristo de Mayo o el Pez Remo.

RICCARDO TAOLIN legge integralmente il Manifesto di Camaldoli, documento finale del convegno sulla Nuova Centralità della Montagna, tenutosi a Camaldoli nel novembre 2019

La concentrazione dei gas serra nell'atmosfera è arrivata nel 2021 a toccare il tetto di 419 parti per milione, il valore più alto degli ultimi 3 milioni di anni.Non solo: il calore immagazzinato nelle acque oceaniche ha raggiunto picchi mai toccati prima d'ora e l'innalzamento del livello degli oceani viaggia sui 4 millimetri e mezzo l'anno. Presto, molto presto, chi vive lungo le fasce costiere sarà costretto a migrare.Uno scenario preoccupante che il climatologo di fama internazionale Luca Mercalli - presidente della Società Meteorologica Italiana e volto noto anche al pubblico di RSI - ha denunciato durante il festival organizzato a Sondrio dal sindacato pensionati della CGIL.E e non è un caso se ad invitarlo sono stati proprio gli anziani, perché il grido d'allarme che da anni Mercalli lancia in ogni occasione, riguarda direttamente i giovani a cui la società dovrà riconsegnare il pianeta preso in prestito.Mercalli, divulgatore scientifico è autore di diversi libri, l'ultimo dei quali ci fa aprire gli occhi proprio sulle opportunità offerte dalla montagna. Opportunità che lui stesso ha colto lasciandosi alle spalle la città per salire in quota.

Alle 17, 57 minuti e 48 secondi del 23 maggio 1992 i sismografi dell'Istituto nazionale di geologia e vulcanologia di Erice registrano un piccolo terremoto, pari al terzo grado della scala Mercalli. In Sicilia la terra sta tremando. La regione, si sa, rappresenta il punto d'incontro di due placche tettoniche: quella euroasiatica e quella africana. Un punto d'incontro simbolico tra le culture del Vecchio Continente e del Maghreb. Un meticciato culturale, etnico, di usi e di costumi. Il sisma, quel 23 maggio 1992, da un punto di vista geologico è irrilevante. Il terremoto, quel 23 maggio 1992, è politico, giudiziario, umano. A fare vibrare gli aghi dei sismografi non è la natura ma l'uomo. Con il suo volto peggiore.

Non c'è davvero più tempo. Il cambiamento climatico è una realtà scientifica e ogni giorno sul nostro pianeta ne troviamo delle testimonianze. La terapia da sottoporre con massima urgenza al nostro pianeta è di quelle che richiedono grossi sacrifici. L'alternativa? Ignota nelle modalità, ma indubbiamente catastrofica per l'uomo.

«Il cambiamento climatico incide sulla propagazione degli incendi. Non incendia il bosco ma lo rende più vulnerabile. E se ci lasciamo sfuggire i prossimi 10 anni per agire seriamente la situazione diventerà irreversibile e finiremo letteralmente per arrostire tutti, gli scenari saranno di fuoco». È quanto ha affermato il climatologo Luca Mercalli a proposito dell'elevato numero di incendi che si sviluppano in tutta Italia. «Qualcuno potrebbe obiettare che gli incendi sono dolosi» - ha spiegato - «Questo è vero, ma un bosco dove piove e c'è un clima normale è meno vulnerabile al fuoco. Via via che la siccità e il caldo asciugano il sottobosco e il materiale depositato da tempo, il bosco diventa una torcia. Le disattenzioni e i criminali ci sono sempre ma il vento caldo e la siccità rendono il fuoco più facilmente propagabile e difficile da fermare. Ricordiamoci che in un bosco in salute, un bosco umido, il fuoco percorre pochi metri». Secondo Mercalli il problema «non è salvare il pianeta, che in qualche modo è abituato a cavarsela, ma salvare l'umanità. La quantità di Co2 nell'atmosfera è la più alta degli ultimi 3 milioni di anni di anni e noi tutti siamo chiamati a preservare un clima che consenta all'uomo di vivere. Pensiamo a quello che è successo in tutto il mondo, in California, Canada, Australia, o comunque quello che sta avvenendo da venti anni a questa parte. Negli scenari climatici del futuro il riscaldamento globale diventerà terreno fertile per gli incendi». L'escalation di C02 fossile nell'atmosfera, «ben 40 miliardi di tonnellate all'anno - ha spiegato il climatologo - deve essere drasticamente fermata. Siamo già dentro a questo cambiamento e non lo fermeremo più se non applichiamo l'accordo di Parigi, il Green deal, la transizione energetica, tutte promesse che si fanno da anni ma che poi all'atto pratico non vengono mantenute. Agire adesso significa scongiurare gli scenari peggiori ed evitare di entrare nell'irreversibilità. Un grado in più ce l'abbiamo già e con questo bisognerà convivere, anche se cominciassimo stasera a smettere di inquinare. Se però nell'arco di 80 anni arriveremo ad avere 5 gradi in più, la situazione sarà irrecuperabile, e quelli che stiamo vivendo saranno fenomeni che ci dovremmo aspettare sempre più frequentemente».

  Today's episode examines the life of an eccentric, possibly mentally ill woman and the incredible house she built. We‘ll talk about possible hauntings, impossible architecture and the delusion of a heart broken woman. We are discussing Sarah Winchester and what some less than creative people have dubbed The Winchester Mystery House!      Her birth name was Sarah Lockwood Pardee. She was the fifth of seven children born to Leonard Pardee and Sarah Burns. There are no existing records or any other form of factual information to establish Sarah’s date of birth—even the year remains unknown. The scarce information that survives from the historical record indicates her birth must have occurred somewhere between 1835 and 1845. At the time of Sarah’s birth, the Pardee’s were a respectable, upper middle class New Haven family. Her father Leonard was a joiner by trade whose shrewd sense of business found him moving up the ladder of polite society as a successful carriage manufacturer. Later, during the Civil War, he made a fortune supplying ambulances to the Union Army. Young Sarah’s most distinguishing characteristic was that she was everything but ordinary. She was a child prodigy… a fire starter. Ok, no… By all accounts, she was also considered to be quite beautiful. By the age of twelve, Sarah was already fluent in the Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian languages. Furthermore, her knowledge of the classics (most notably Homer… no, not Simpson, and Shakespeare) along with a remarkable talent as a musician was well noticed. It is no wonder that New Haven Society would eventually dub her “The Belle of New Haven.” In addition to Sarah’s brilliance and respectable place in society, there were several factors about New Haven that presented a unique influence on her upbringing. To begin, there was Yale University (originally known as Yale College). From its inception, Yale (and New Haven) was a hub of progressive, Freemasonic-Rosicrucian thinking and activity. By the way, we’ll most definitely be taking a train ride on the Freemasons. As a result, Sarah was raised and educated in an environment ripe with Freemasonic and Rosicrucian philosophy. Several of Sarah’s uncles and cousins were Freemasons. But more importantly, at an early age, she was admitted to Yale’s only female scholastic institution known as the “Young Ladies Collegiate Institute.” Two of the school’s most influential administrators and professors, Judson A. Root and his brother N.W. Taylor Root were both Rose Croix Freemasons. In addition to the liberal arts, the Roots set forth a strict curriculum consisting of the sciences and mathematics. Sounds super fucking boring. Furthermore, two of Sarah’s schoolmates Susan and Rebecca Bacon were the daughters of New Haven’s highly respected Reverend Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon (no relation to Francis Bacon, who was an English philosopher and statesman who served as Attorney General and as Lord Chancellor of England. His works are credited with developing the scientific method and remained influential through the scientific revolution, just in case you nerds were wondering.). While Sarah and the Bacon girls were attending the school, Dr. Bacon’s sister Delia, also a New Haven resident, attracted considerable fame and attention for writing her famous treatise that Sir Francis Bacon (with the aid of a circle of the finest literary minds of the Elizabethan-Jacobean Age) was the actual author, editor, and publisher of the original works of Shakespeare. Ah ha! See! Her work was sponsored by the author Nathaniel Hawthorne and was later supported by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain! Good ol Samuel Clemens. In addition to her writing, Delia Bacon gave numerous public lectures to the citizens of New Haven; thus, New Haven, Connecticut was the actual birthplace of the “Bacon is Shakespeare” doctrine. We’re here to learn ya, folks! Given her direct exposure to the Baconian Doctrine, along with her passion for the Shakespearean works, it was inevitable that Sarah was drawn like an irresistible force to a more than passing interest in the new theorem. Moreover, the Baconian-Masonic preoccupation with secret encryption techniques using numbered cipher systems most certainly influenced young Sarah’s world view. This unique backdrop to Sarah’s early development played a crucial role which, in essence, defined what would become her life’s work. So much smarts! As we’ll see, the Belle of New Haven became a staunch Baconian for the rest of her life. She just LOOOVED HER BACON! BLTs, Canadian bacon, pancetta… she loved it all! A completely strict diet of fucking bacon! Except turkey bacon. Fuck that fake shit. No, but seriously, She also acquired a vast and uncanny knowledge of Masonic-Rosicrucian ritual and symbolism… SSSYMBOLISM. Additionally, she gravitated to Theosophy. Theosophy is a religion established in the United States during the late nineteenth century. It was founded primarily by the Russian immigrant Helena Blavatsky and draws its teachings predominantly from Blavatsky's writings.Author and historian Ralph Rambo (who actually knew Sarah and is a direct descendant of American bad ass and war hero John J Rambo) wrote “it is believed that Mrs. Winchester was a Theosophist.” Rambo didn’t elaborate on the matter, making him and his statement one of the more boring we’ve heard, but since he was close to Sarah he was certainly in a position to know some things about her. It should be noted that most Rosicrucians are theosophists. Sarah adhered both to Bacon’s Kabbalistic theosophy, which is the eternal belief in the Mortal Kombat franchise no matter how bad their movies are… ok, that was stupid. Anyway, she was also super into the theosophical perspective held by Rudolph Steiner (1861- 1925). Steiner viewed the universe as a vast, living organism in which all things are likened to individually evolving units or cells that comprise a greater universal, synergistic body that is “ever building.” As we shall further see, the “ever building” theme was at the core of Sarah’s methodology. William Wirt Winchester was born in Baltimore, MD on July 22, 1837. He was the only son of Oliver Fisher Winchester and Jane Ellen Hope. In keeping with a popular trend of the day, he was named after William Wirt, the highly popular and longest serving Attorney General of the United States . Soon after William’s arrival, the Winchesters moved to New Haven where the enterprising Oliver, along with his partner John Davies, founded a successful clothing manufacturing company. Gradually, the Winchester patriarch amassed a considerable fortune. Later, Oliver channeled his efforts into a firearms manufacturing venture that eventually (1866) evolved into the famous Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Fuckin’ Winchester! Woo!! According to historical documents, the Winchesters and the Pardees were well acquainted, particularly through the auspices of New Haven’s First Baptist Church. Additionally, Sarah Pardee and William’s sister Annie were classmates at the Young Ladies Collegiate Institute. Not far away, William attended New Haven’s Collegiate and Commercial Institute—another arm of Yale College. Here, William’s teachers included N.W. Taylor Root (one of Sarah’s instructors) and Henry E. Pardee who was another of Sarah’s cousins. Thus, Young Sarah and William found themselves studying virtually the same curriculum under very similar circumstances. Moreover, like the Pardees, the Winchester family was not lacking in members who were Freemasons. Sarah and William were married on September 30, 1862. Their only child, Annie Pardee Winchester came into the world on July 12, 1866. Unfortunately, due to an infantile decease known as Marasmus (a severe form of malnutrition due to the body’s inability to metabolize proteins), Annie died 40 days later. In 1880, Ol Oliver Fisher Winchester died, leaving the succession of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company to his only son. One year later, William died of fucking Tuberculosis at the age of 43. Dammit, TB! The double loss of Annie and William was a staggering blow to Sarah. However, the loss did leave the widow Winchester with an inheritance of 20 million dollars (510 million today) plus nearly 50% of the Winchester Arms stock—which, in turn earned her approximately $1,000 dollars per day (25,000 today)  in royalties for the rest of her life—the result of which made her one of the wealthiest women in the world. Get it, girl!  According to Ralph Rambo, john j rambo’s great great uncle, Sarah went on a three year world tour with her new band “Rifles and Posies”, who sold 3 million records worldwide and had a huge hit with their single “fuck tuberculosis” before settling in California in 1884.   “The New Haven Register,” dated 1886, lists Sarah as having been “removed to Europe.” No other information has survived to tell us exactly where Mrs. Winchester went during those years or what her activities consisted of. But we can project some well educated theories. Although Freemasonry has traditionally barred women from its membership, there are numerous documented cases in which some head-strong women have gained admittance into liberal, Masonic Lodges as far back as the 18th Century. A movement in France called Co-Freemasonry, which allows for male and female membership was already underway when Sarah arrived in that country. Given her social status, a predilection towards Freemasonic tenets, and a mastery of the European languages, Sarah could easily have been admitted into any of the permissive French Masonic lodges. Another possible scenario involving Mrs. Winchester’s activities while abroad could well have included visits to esoteric, architectural landmarks such as the French Cathedral of Chartres. Sarah’s Masonic-Rosicrucian interest in labyrinths would have drawn her to Chartres with its 11 circuit labyrinth, a puzzle-like feature that stresses the discipline of the initiatic tradition of the ancient mystery schools. Likewise, she would also have found inspiration in the Freemasonic symbolism and the mysterious structure (including a staircase that leads nowhere) of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland . In 1884, Sarah took up residence in the San Francisco Bay area—eventually moving inland to the Santa Clara Valley (now San Jose) to buy an eight room farmhouse from one Dr. Robert Caldwell. Her apparent motive for the move was to live in close proximity to her numerous Pardee relatives, most of whom had come to California during the 1849 Gold Rush, and were scattered from Sacramento to the Bay area. One of these Pardee relatives, Enoch H. Pardee, had become a highly respected physician and politician while living in Oakland. Later his son George C. Pardee followed in his father’s footsteps rising to the office of Governor of California (1903- 1907. It is interesting that Wikipedia makes particular note of Enoch Pardee having been “a prominent occultist.” Most likely the occult reference has to do with the fact that both Enoch and his son George were members of the highly secretive and mysterious ( California based) Bohemian Club which was an offshoot of Yale’s Skull and Bones Society. Moreover, Enoch and George were Knights Templar Freemasons. Also interesting, is the fact that President Theodore Roosevelt (another member of the Bohemian Club) came to California in 1903 to ask Governor Pardee to run as his Vice Presidential candidate in the 1904 national election. The offer was turned down. During the same trip, Roosevelt attempted to visit Sarah Pardee Winchester. Again, Roosevelt’s offer was turned down.  THE STORY BEHIND THE HOUSE         The story goes that after the death of her child and her husband she moved to California and bought the 8 room farmhouse and began building. It is said once construction started it was a continuous process. Workers in the area would work in shifts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  We're going to explore the stories about her mental state,  the construction of the house, and the reports of ghosts and spooky stuff.     The story supposedly starts like this: There was no plan – no official blueprints were drawn up, no architectural vision was created, and yet a once-unfinished house took shape on a sprawling lot in the heart of San Jose, California. Inside, staircases ascended through several levels before ending abruptly, doorways opened to blank walls, and corners rounded to dead ends. The house was the brainchild of Sarah Winchester, heir by marriage to the Winchester firearms fortune, and since the project began in 1884 rumors have swirled about the construction, the inhabitants, and the seemingly endless maze that sits at 525 South Winchester Blvd.Today, the house is known as the Winchester Mystery House, but at the time of its construction, it was simply Sarah Winchester’s House. Newly in possession of a massive fortune and struggling with the loss of her husband and daughter, she sought the advice of a medium. She hoped, perhaps, to get advice from the beyond as to how to spend her fortune or what to do with her life. Though the exact specifics remain between Sarah Winchester and her medium, the story goes that the medium was able to channel dearly departed William, who advised Sarah to leave her home in New Haven, Connecticut, and head west to California. As far as what to do with her money, William answered that too; she was to use the fortune to build a home for the spirits of those who had fallen victim to Winchester rifles, lest she be haunted by them for the rest of her life. So there's that… Spirits from beyond told her to build! After this is when she ended up in San Jose and purchased the farm house. Winchester hired carpenters to work around the clock, expanding the small house into a seven-story mansion. The construction of the House was an “ever building” enterprise in which rotating shifts of workers labored 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. the House gradually mushroomed outward and upward,By the turn of the century, Sarah Winchester had her ghost house: an oddly laid out mansion, with seven stories, 161 rooms, 47 fireplaces, 10,000 panes of glass, two basements, three elevators, and a mysterious fun-house-like interior. It was built at a price tag of the $5 million dollars in 1923 or $71 million today. Due to the lack of a plan and the presence of an architect, the house was constructed haphazardly; rooms were added onto exterior walls resulting in windows overlooking other rooms. Multiple staircases would be added, all with different sized risers, giving each staircase a distorted look. Gold and silver chandeliers hung from the ceilings above hand-inlaid parquet flooring. Dozens of artful stained-glass windows created by Tiffany & Co. dotted the walls, including some designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. One window, in particular, was intended to create a prismatic rainbow effect on the floor when light flowed through it – of course, the window ended up on an interior wall, and thus the effect was never achieved. Even more luxurious than the fixtures was the plumbing an electrical work. Rare for the time, the Winchester Mystery House boasted indoor plumbing, including coveted hot running water, and push-button gas lighting available throughout the home. Additionally, forced-air heating flowed throughout the house. Adding further to the mysterious features, the prime numbers 7, 11, and 13 are repeatedly displayed in various ways throughout the House—the number 13 being most prominent. These numbers consistently show up in the number of windows in many of the rooms, or the number of stairs in the staircases, or the number of rails in the railings, or the number of panels in the floors and walls, or the number of lights in a chandelier, etc. Unquestionably, these three prime numbers were extremely important to Sarah. In 1906 something happened that would change the landscape of california and the Winchester house. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck the coast of Northern California at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18 with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). High-intensity shaking was felt from Eureka on the North Coast to the Salinas Valley, an agricultural region to the south of the San Francisco Bay Area. Devastating fires soon broke out in the city and lasted for several days. More than 3,000 people died. Over 80% of the city of San Francisco was destroyed. The events are remembered as one of the worst and deadliest earthquakes in the history of the United States. The death toll remains the greatest loss of life from a natural disaster in California's history and high on the lists of American disasters. Although The impact of the earthquake on San Francisco was the most famous, the earthquake also inflicted considerable damage on several other cities. These include San Jose and Santa Rosa, the entire downtown of which was essentially destroyed. Since if the damage in San Jose was located at, you guessed it, the Winchester house. Standing 7 stories at the time, the house was damaged badly and the top three floors were essentially reduced and the house said at for stories from then on due to the damage.  Aside from its immense size and Victorian style architecture, the House has a number of unique characteristics. To begin, it is undeniably a labyrinth. There are literally miles of maze-like corridors and twisting hallways, some of which have dead ends—forcing the traveler to turn around and back-up. There are also some centrally located passages and stairways that serve as shortcuts allowing a virtual leap from one side of the House to the other. Traversing the labyrinth is truly dizzying and disorienting to one’s sensibilities. The House abounds in oddities and anomalous features. There are rooms within rooms. There is a staircase that leads nowhere, abruptly halting at the ceiling. In another place, there is a door which opens into a solid wall. Some of the House’s 47 chimneys have an overhead ceiling—while, in some places, there are skylights covered by a roof—and some skylights are covered by another skylight—and, in one place, there is a skylight built into the floor. There are tiny doors leading into large spaces, and large doors that lead into very small spaces. In another part of the House, a second story door opens outward to a sheer drop to the ground below. Moreover, upside-down pillars can be found all about the House. Many visitors to the Winchester mansion have justifiably compared its strange design to the work of the late Dutch artist M.C. Escher. Practically a small town unto itself, the Winchester estate was virtually self sufficient with its own carpenter and plumber’s workshops along with an on-premise water and electrical supply, and a sewage drainage system. On September 5, 1922, she died in her sleep of heart failure. A service was held in Palo Alto, California, and her remains lay at Alta Mesa Cemetery until they were transferred, along with those of her sister, to New Haven, Connecticut.  She was buried next to her husband and their infant child in Evergreen Cemetery, New Haven, Connecticut. She left a will written in thirteen sections, which she signed thirteen times.  In accordance with her will Sarah had her entire estate divided up in generous portions to be distributed among a number of charities and those people who had faithfully spent years in her service. Her favorite niece and secretary, Marian Marriott, oversaw the removal and sale of all of Sarah’s furnishings and personal property. Roy Lieb, Mrs. Winchester’s attorney of many years, had been named in her will as executor to her estate. He sold the House to the people who, in 1933, preserved it as a “living” museum—today, it is known as the Winchester Mystery House also known as California Historical Landmark #868. Although no mention has ever surfaced as to any specific guidelines or special instructions by which Mr. Lieb would select a buyer for the property, one gets the distinct impression that Sarah wanted the House to stand intact and perpetually preserved… and so it does. SOME OF THE FOLKLORE Some of this stuff we've touched on already but here's a rundown of the folklore behind the house.  Despite the fact that Sarah Winchester was extremely secretive about herself, nearly all of what the public thinks it knows about her reads like a mish-mash of gossip out “The National Enquirer.” some refer to this body of misinformation as “The Folklore.” Indeed, on a research visits to the Winchester Mystery House, a senior tour guide informed one writer that “in the old days, the tour guides were encouraged to make up stuff just to give some spice to the story.” The Folklore about Sarah says that, after William’s death in 1881, the highly distraught Mrs. Winchester sought the advice of the then famous Boston medium Adam Coons. During a séance with Coons, Sarah was told that because of the many people who had been slain by the Winchester Rifle, she was cursed by the Winchester fortune. Coons further instructed Sarah that the angry spirits demanded that she move to California and build them a house. Upon her arrival in California, Sarah began holding her own séances every midnight so that she could receive the next day’s building instructions from the spirits. Her séances allegedly involved the use of a Ouija board and planchette, and 13 various colored robes she would ritualistically wear each night (for the edification of the spirits) within the confines of her “Séance Room.” To further appease the angry spirits, Mrs. Winchester made sure the construction of the House went on, nonstop, 24 / 7, 365 days a year for fear that should the building ever stop, she would die. For some inexplicable reason, however, Mrs. Winchester took precautions in the building design so as to incorporate all of the strange features of the House to “confuse the evil spirits.” Moreover, she would ring her alarm bell every night at midnight to signal the spirits that it was séance time, and then again at 2:00 am, signaling the spirits that it was time to depart. Which begs the question “who was in charge of whom?” And, why would spirits’ have an inability or need to keep track of time? Whenever people make mention of Sarah Winchester the typical response you get from people is “Oh yeah…wasn’t she the crazy lady who built that weird house because she was afraid the spirits would kill her?” Many of these people have never been to the Winchester House. Their source is usually television. “ America ’s Most Haunted Places” tops the list of TV shows that grossly reinforces the Folklore of the house. The misinformation is further compounded by the “Haunted House” tour business thriving in San Jose as the commercial enterprise known as the “Winchester Mystery House” which profits by perpetuating the Folklore myth. In fairness to the management of the “WMH,” they try to present Mrs. Winchester in a positive light. However, their Halloween flashlight tours, along with booklets, postcards, coffee mugs and other sundry items being sold in the WMH souvenir shop displaying the title “The Mansion Designed By Spirits” only enhances the Folklore version of Sarah Winchester’s life. You’ve got to hand it to them, they’ve created a highly effective marketing strategy for a very lucrative commercial enterprise. These are good people who mean well—but this is hardly the legacy Sarah wanted to leave to posterity.  Even in more recent times the house keeps giving up secrets. In 2016, a secret attic was discovered. Inside the attic were a pump organ, a Victorian-era couch, a dress form, a sewing machine, and various paintings. There was a rumour that Sarah had a secrecy room full of undisplayed treasures and large amounts of cash, it was thought this attic may have been that room but there is no concrete proof of this.  So these are the stories about Sarah Winchester and her house, now comes the sad news, most of what you think you know, and most of what you've just heard, are myths. Stories that have grown over the years about the woman and the house. Early on we talked about president roosevelt trying to visit Sarah and the house. If you forgot, the story goes that Theodore Roosevelt attempted to visit Sarah at home in 1903, but was turned away. This is used as an example of her alleged weirdness. It is said the rumors likely started about Sarah because in life she was extremely private, refused to address gossip and did not engage much in the community.  This infamous presidential visit never occurred. Eyewitness accounts state that the President's carriage never stopped at the Winchester place. Furthermore, Winchester had rented a house near San Francisco that year to prepare for the wedding of her niece. She was not at home. There is another myth that Sarah would spy on her employees. It is said that some employees believed Sarah could walk through walls and closed doors. The claims are that Sarah had elaborate spying features built into the house. There is no evidence she spied on her workers. Would a suspicious employer retain the same workers for decades? Would she name them in her will? Would she buy them homes? Would they name children after her? All these things happened. In short, there is no evidence that she ever spied on her employees. Then there is the fascination with the number 13 and several other numbers. Since websites detail the occurrences of 13 in the house: 13 robe hooks in the seance room, 13 panes of glass in several windows, a stairway with 13 steps, just to name a few. These facts are used as evidence to prove the woman was ruled by superstition. References to the number 13 were added after Sarah's death, according to workers at the time. The 13 hooks were added not long ago.  Then we have some of the crazy architecture. The story goes that she built crazy things like hallways to nowhere, stairs to nowhere, doors that lead to walls, and doors that lead to several story drops, to confuse spirits. Some websites make much of the architectural "oddities" of the house, such as doors and flights of stairs leading into walls, and how they were supposedly built to confuse vengeful ghosts. Some say there is a more natural explanation—the 1906 earthquake.  Research uncovered the fact that there was massive damage to the house in the trembler and that Sarah never fully repaired it. The stairs and doors that lead to "nowhere" are merely where damage has been sealed off or where landings have fallen away. After the earthquake she moved to another house. She did not want to make the necessary repairs—it had nothing to do with spirits. Not to mention she herself admitted that with her being the architect and having no formal training, things often did not go as planned. "I am constantly having to make an upheaval for some reason,” Winchester wrote to her sister-in-law in 1898. “For instance, my upper hall which leads to the sleeping apartment was rendered so unexpectedly dark by a little addition that after a number of people had missed their footing on the stairs I decided that safety demanded something to be done." Far from an exercise in spiritualism, Winchester’s labyrinth arose because she made mistakes — and had the disposable income to carry on making them. It didn’t help her reputation that she was naturally reserved. While most Bay Area millionaires were out in society, attending galas and loudly donating to charities, Winchester preferred a quiet life with the close family who occasionally lived with her. In the absence of her own voice, locals began to gossip. One of the biggest myths however is the stories of how construction started and kept in going 24-7. There were actually many instances of Sarah sending workers away. Many times in the summer months she would send them away for a couple months because it got too hot. And in the winter she would send them away for a little break for everyone. This has been uncovered in Sarah's own writings. The Feb. 24, 1895 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle ran an article that almost single-handedly laid the foundation for the Winchester Mystery House legend."The sound of the hammer is never hushed,” it reported. “... The reason for it is in Mrs. Winchester's belief that when the house is entirely finished she will die." So aside from appeasing spirits with the continued building this article states that she believes that if she ever finished the house that's when she would die, so that's why she kept building.  "Whether she had discovered the secret of eternal youth and will live as long as the building material, saws and hammers last, or is doomed to disappointment as great as Ponce de Leon in his search for the fountain of life, is a question for time to solve,” the story concludes. Some modern-day historians speculate one of the reasons Winchester kept building was because of the economic climate. By continuing construction, she was able to keep locals employed. In her unusual way, it was an act of kindness. "She had a social conscience and she did try to give back," Winchester Mystery House historian Janan Boehme told the Los Angeles Times in 2017. "This house, in itself, was her biggest social work of all." As far as all of the supernatural talk, most of it started after her death. The famed Winchester mansion fell into the hands of John H. Brown, a theme park worker who designed roller coasters. One of his inventions, the Backety-Back coaster in Canada, killed a woman who was thrown from a car. After her death, the Browns moved to California. When the Winchester house went up for rent, Brown and his wife Mayme jumped at the chance and quickly began playing up the home’s strangeness. Less than two years after Sarah Winchester’s death, newspapers were suddenly beginning to write about the mansion’s supernatural powers. “The seance room, dedicated to the spirit world in which Mrs. Winchester had such faith, is magnificently done in heavy velvet of many colors,” the Healdsburg Tribune wrote in 1924. “... Here are hundreds of clothes hooks, upon which hang many costumes. Mrs. Winchester, it is said, believed that she could don any of these costumes and speak to the spirits of the characters of the area represented by the clothing.” (It is worth noting here: There are no contemporary accounts of Winchester holding seances in the home, and “Ghostland” writes that the “seance room” was actually a gardener’s private quarters.) The myth took hold, though, and the home, with its dead ends and tight turns, is easy to imagine as haunted. Although the spirits are fun, the ghosts shroud the real life of a fascinating, creative woman. Winchester was "as sane and clear headed a woman as I have ever known,” her lawyer Samuel Leib said after her death. “She had a better grasp of business and financial affairs than most men." Speaking of supernatural, let's get into the haunted history. Dozens of psychics have visited the house over the years and most have come away convinced, or claim to be convinced, that spirits still wander the place. It was even named one of the “Most Haunted Places in the World” by Time magazine. Here are just a few tales, courtesy of Winchester tour manager Janan Boehme. The Case of the Ghostly Handyman Some of Sarah Winchester’s loyal workmen and house servants may still be looking after the place, according to sightings of figures or the “feeling of a presence” reported many times over the years, by tour guides and visitors alike. One frequent apparition is a man with jet-black hair believed to have been a former handyman. He’s been seen repairing the fireplace in the ballroom, or pushing an equally spectral wheelbarrow – if wheelbarrows indeed linger in the beyond — down a long, dark hallway. The Secret of the Invisible HandSeveral years ago, a man working on one of the many restoration projects in the mansion started his day early in a section with several fireplaces, known as the Hall of Fires. The house was dead quiet before tours got underway, and he was working up on a ladder when he felt someone tap him on the back. He turned to ask what the person wanted. No one was there. Reassuring himself he’d just imagined the sensation, he went back to his work, only to experience what felt like someone pushing against his back. That was enough. He hurried down the ladder, crossed the estate and started on another project, figuring that someone — or something — didn’t want him working in the Hall of Fires that day. The Sign of the Heavy SighA tour guide named Samantha recently led visitors to the room the Daisy Bedroom, where Sarah Winchester was trapped during the 1906 quake. Samantha was about to begin her spiel when a very clear “sigh” came from the small hallway outside the bedroom door. Thinking one of her guests had merely fallen behind, Samantha turned to call the person into the room but saw no one. Then, as her eyes adjusted to the darkened hallway, she did see something. The form of a small, dark person slowly emerged, gliding around a corner. Samantha quickly stepped around the corner and again saw nothing but heard yet another deep sigh. She felt sure it was the tiny form of Sarah Winchester herself, perhaps peeved to find people in her favorite bedroom. You can find a surveillance video that seems to show a ghost or something moving around in a balcony late ate night on the fourth floor. Just as unexpected things turn up on video, the same is true of photographs. The Winchester Mystery House's own Public Relations Coordinator reports that he took several photos of the mansion in 2015. When he downloaded the photos he deleted what he didn't need. But, one caught his eye. In one window of the house, Tim O'Day spotted something. Was it a shadow? A reflection of a cloud? Or something else? Visitors to the Winchester Mystery House also report taking photos with strange shapes in the windows. A few even shared their snapshots on Facebook. If you visit, study all photos carefully before hitting the delete button. You never know what you will find! Top haunted house movies from ranker.com https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-haunted-house-movies/ranker-film?ref=collections_btm&l=367358&collectionId=2164

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck the coast of Northern California at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18 with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). High intensity shaking was felt from Eureka on the North Coast to the Salinas Valley, an agricultural region to the south of the San Francisco Bay Area. Devastating fires soon broke out in the city and lasted for several days. More than 3,000 people died. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwight-allen/message

Siamo un pezzo di natura, lo dice la scienza ecologica, e se la natura si degrada anche noi facciamo la stessa fine. Partiamo da dove posiamo i nostri piedi. Ogni secondo in Italia spariscono sotto cemento e asfalto 3 metri quadrati di suolo. Eppure il suolo è la nostra assicurazione sul futuro, per produrre cibo, per filtrare l’acqua, proteggerci dalle alluvioni, immagazzinare CO2. La sua perdita irreversibile è un grave danno per noi e per figli e nipoti. Tanto più in epoca di riscaldamento globale, che, inducendo fenomeni meteorologici estremi – alluvioni, siccità, ritiro dei ghiacciai e aumento dei livelli marini – minaccia il benessere dei nostri figli e nipoti. Eppure ci sono molti modi per risparmiare energia evitando di aggravare l’inquinamento atmosferico o per non sprecare inutilmente le risorse naturali che scarseggiano mettendo a rischio il futuro. Mercalli lo dice e lo scrive da oltre vent’anni, e propone qui un’antologia delle sue riflessioni.

2 June 2019 Seventh Sunday of Easter John 17:20-26 + Homily 17 Minutes 11 Seconds Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/060219-7thday.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition) From the parish bulletin:   To have known Father Stanley Jaki for more than twenty years was a privilege and a challenge. The privilege was to count as friend and mentor this Benedictine cited by many as one of the five priests whose science has most shaped our understanding of the world. The others are Copernicus in astronomy, Mendel in genetics, Mercalli in seismology, and Lemaitre in physics. The challenge was in being corrected often by this fiery Hungarian whose zeal in debate took no prisoners.     In my book Cloud of Witnesses, I mentioned how Jaki cautioned me against making the Big Bang theory into a theological statement. That was similar to the polite correction Georges Lemaitre made, on a higher plane, in 1951when Pope Pius XII had implied that Lemaitre’s Big Bang proposition proved a Creator as well as Creation.    Einstein admired Lemaitre, and you might say that he was agnostic about agnosticism, observing cryptically: “If God created the world, his primary concern was certainly not to make its understanding easy for us.” Einstein could be impatient with outright atheists: “The eternal mystery of the world is its  comprehensibility.” He could not say more without compromising the limits of his own science. Saint Augustine wrote: “We do not read in the Gospel that the Lord said, ‘I will send the Paraclete to teach you the course of the sun and the moon;’ in fact, He wanted to create Christians, not mathematicians.” Later, Cardinal Baronio, a spiritual disciple of Saint Philip Neri, epigrammed: “The Bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go.”    This applies to the enigmatic Shekhinah, or Glory of God, in the form of a cloud that accompanied the wandering Jews (Exodus 13:21) and appeared on Sinai (Exodus 24:16) and on Tabor (Matthew 17:5). Finally, it was seen at the Ascension. While this cloud could be perceived by human senses, it was beyond physical analysis. Here meteorology yields to another dimension for which there is no human definition other than acknowledgement of its existence. The Christian response moves beyond analysis to rejoicing. When Saint Paul spoke of a man who had experienced a “Third Heaven” (2 Corinthians 12:2) he could say no more than that.    I knew a woman who, Christmas caroling as a child, sang “Silent Night” outside Einstein’s house at 112 Mercer Street in Princeton. The Professor appeared on the porch with his violin and, while not singing the words, played the music.    In a sermon of 388, Gregory of Nyssa mentioned a special Feast of the Ascension to celebrate the Phos tou kosmou, the Light of the World. At the Ascension, the angel told the people not to gaze into the heavens, but to pray. Saint Paul would say: “When the Lord comes again, the living and the dead will be gathered in the clouds” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

II3TF Italy Para conmemorar el 40 aniversario del terremoto de Friuli, se activa este indicativo especial en dos periodos de tiempo: Del 1 al 22 de mayo de 2016, y del 10 al 18 de septiembre de 2016. Estarán en el aire en SSB, CW, RTTY y mas modos digitales, de 10m a 160 m. También en VHF. Mas info en http://www.ariudine.it/pdf/RegolamentoDiplomaOrcolat.pdf "El terremoto del Friuli tuvo lugar a las 21:00 del 6 de mayo de 1976. La zona más afectada fue la situada al norte de Udine, con epicentro en los municipios de Osoppo y Gemona del Friuli y una intensidad de 6,4 grados en la escala de Richter, y de 10 en la escala de Mercalli. La sacudida, percibida en todo el norte de Italia, afectó principalmente a 77 municipios y a una población total de unos 60.000 habitantes, provocando 965 muertos y más de 45.000 damnificados. El 11 de septiembre de 1976, la tierra tiembla de nuevo: dos sacudidas a las 18.31 y a las 18.40 superan los 7,5 y los 8 grados en la escala de Mercalli. El 15 de septiembre de 1976 a las 9.21 se verifica otra sacudida de más de 8 grados en la escala de Mercalli. A pesar de una larga serie de réplicas, que continuaron durante varios meses, la reconstrucción fue rápida y completa, y se completó en unos 10 años." Qsl vía IV3IUM. www.ea1wk.com AR K
