Ressourcement: A Movement for Renewal in Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology - Edited by Gabriel Flynn and Paul D. Murray 
(p. 522) The ultimate end game of the 18th century Russian Orthodox church's 'Ressourcement', adopted by the Novus Ordo & which provided the framework for Vatican II, is recognizing the N. O. church's subservient relationship with the synagogue as typified by the Noahide Laws.
OPERATION RESCUE MIMI: My 88 year old grandmother in Venice, FL suggested riding out the storm in her mobile home. No ma’am. Grandson is on the way. Chronicling my journey to get MIMI (or grandmama) to safety. I need safe travels and plentiful gasoline #HurricaneIan #Evacuation
OPERATION RESCUE MIMI: brilliant sunset leaving Gainesville, down I-75. It’s the whole God is a gator vibe. Mimi aka grandmama is 88 year old Denise Pirhalla and not much of a gator fan. She’s lived in Venice 25+ years and has never evacuated for a hurricane. #hurricaneIan
OPERATION RESCUE MIMI: my gut just told me to get off at an exit in Sumter County to top off my gas tank. My Jetta can go far, but not 400 miles roundtrip on reg unleaded. Thank you @bp_America and @TATravelCenters for keeping us all going- literally. #HurricaneIan #evacuation
Doing three film festivals back to back (Edinburgh, FrightFest, Venice) was either a brilliant idea or a terrible idea. History does not yet relate which.
At least when I get back, I’ll have nine whole days before the LFF screenings start.
Travel is so *weird*. Last night: fun at the Phoenix for the closing night of FrightFest. Tonight: this.

“It was a windy night, and before my retina registered anything, I was smitten by a feeling of utter happiness: my nostrils were hit by what to me has always been its synonym, the smell of freezing seaweed.” Joseph Brodsky, Watermark #Venicebooks #Venice #Venezia #Brodsky

Do you know the story of #coffee?
Sure you get it from Starbucks or grind it at home but its story was not as simple as farm to pot
The story involves dancing goats, Fatwa, babtization, kings, revolutions, patriotism, Beethoven
Coffee has a rich & troubling history

1/ 1st, the legend:
Legend has it that an #Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi witnessed his goats gamboling after eating coffee shrub’s red fruit. Perplexed, Kaldi tried the fruit himself and realized the same effect on him. A monk witnessed it & took some of the fruit with him.

2/ Now, the history:
The coffee plant and fruit has been used for 1000s of years but it wasn’t until the 13 century when the beans were roasted, which sky rocketed its popularity. Coffee originated in Ethiopia but it was across the Red Sea, in #Yemen, it was first cultivated.

For International #WorldHeritageDay, a thread about the threat of climate change to these incredible places. Starting off at the Heart of Neolithic #Orkney World Heritage site in #Scotland at one of the world's oldest stone circles, #StonesOfStenness.
Skara Brae at the edge of Skaill Bay on Mainland, Orkney is, one of the best preserved Stone Age villages in Europe but is increasingly under threat from coastal erosion and worsening storms, & the Ring of Brodgar is vulnerable to extreme rainfall.
You can read the Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) assessment recently carried out for the #Orkney sites by @UCSUSA, @jcu, @UHIArchaeology, @HistEnvScot, @ICOMOS & @OrkneyCouncil, & @ICOMOS here: historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-r… #CVIheritage
Diary from Italy, 1 April 2020 - on the need for the EU 27 to get their act together before it is too late. Includes English version of @CarloCalenda's letter to @faznet Thread. Full diary: facebook.com/john.mccourt1/…

Social unrest is growing in #Italy Italy as people are worrying not simply about catching the #coronavirus coronavirus but about running out of food and money particularly in the poorer southern regions of the country.
The 27 countries of the European Union remain split and the European Commission has never seemed less effective. Europe risks a division that will be irreparable. And Italians are rightly exasperated with countries that seem to favour the economic over the human, wealth over life
20 years ago, I was an inveterate traveller, happy to have all my possessions in storage, ready to go anywhere in the world with very little notice.

...that I seemed to be about to lose access to the world, and my freedom to travel might be curtailed.
Now in my 50s, with a family, I'm re-experiencing that sense of loss, as #covid19 grounds planes and closes borders.

This weekend, I saw somebody in a park with a cloth bag from a #Dublin bookstore named The Winding Stair, and felt a pang of loss: this shop, unknown to me, was, by the force of things, likely to remain so, for weeks, months, maybe forever...
It's hard to capture the absence of activity. How do you show something that is missing? These wonderful @reuters pictures do just that.

Air #Albania cancels 6 flights to and from #Italy due to #coronavirus outbreak - READ MORE ➡️ bit.ly/2W0XwWZ
There are other air carriers connecting #Albania and #Italy, but so far no other airlines have cancelled their flights due to the #coronavirus outbreak. @Alitalia’s #Tirana- #Rome #Fiumicino AZ585, left Albania’s capital as planned on Sunday.
#Italy has placed up to 16 million people under quarantine as it battles to contain the spread of #coronavirus. Anyone living in #Lombardy and 14 other central and northern provinces will need special permission to #travel.
"Restrictions imposed to control the virus — & public panic — have transformed #Italy’s commercial & financial capital in a way some Milanese fear will result in a deep & lasting economic blow."

1/ "Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte this week said the economic blow to Italy could be 'very strong.'”
2/ “'If the virus spreads, and it will spread, I think any local or national politician would have to take very drastic action, and that will virtually halt the economy,' said Roberto Perotti, an economist at #Milan’s Bocconi University, who was #workingfromhome this week."
