Rescue teams discovered the bodies of eight people on Thursday who had been trapped in a garage after devastating flash floods hit eastern Spain as the death toll in the Valencia region alone climbed to 155 Local authorities have not disclosed how many people are still unaccounted for after Europe's deadliest floods in years and Defence Minister Margarita Robles said the final national death toll could be much greater Opposition politicians accused the central government in Madrid of acting too slowly to warn residents and send in rescue teams prompting the Interior Ministry to say regional authorities were responsible for civil protection measures Valencia Mayor Maria Jose Catala told reporters that a local policeman was among the eight bodies found drowned in the garage in the city's suburb of La Torre a 45-year-old woman was also found dead in her home "Those people wouldn't have died if they had been warned in time," Laura Villaescusa a neighbour and manager of a local supermarket RELATED: Spain's deadly DANA weather phenomenon and its links to climate change Meteorologists have said a year's worth of rain fell in eight hours in parts of Valencia on Tuesday The floods have battered Valencia's infrastructure roads and rail tracks and submerging farmland in a region that produces about two-thirds of the citrus fruit grown in Spain Thousands of people carrying bags or pushing shopping trolleys could be seen on Thursday crossing a pedestrian bridge over the Turia river from La Torre into Valencia city centre to stock up on essential supplies such as toilet paper and water said they had never received warning of the imminent danger of flooding "We found a lot of elderly people inside their homes and people who went to get their cars a town 37 km (23 miles) west of Valencia city described how he survived a flash flood on Tuesday evening by clinging to a pillar on a neighbour's porch with water up to his neck till the heavy rain finally subsided His dog was later found alive swimming in the water while his wife and son saved themselves by reaching the upper floor of their home Molina's home had already suffered two major floods in 2018 and 2020 and he blamed authorities for allowing construction of residential buildings in depressions where water accumulates "We don't want to live here anymore," he said "As soon as we get a couple of raindrops we're already checking our phones."

Pantone’s team is systematically cataloguing them. Pantone recently met Segura, though the celebrated Valencian designer has never set foot in the home that he created since it was completed. In the bedroom, a Serpent floor lamp (1960) by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce and a table designed by Vico Magistretti for Studio Artemide. On the grounds next to the house, the FPStudio team, architect Marina Victoria (seen here), and Pantone himself are designing a 10,700-square-foot studio. Behind Victoria, a 2144 lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce. The new studio, which should be completed by the middle of 2024, has been designed so that it will not compete visually with the original house. It will share with it the illusion that it floats above the ground, suspended in air. As soon as one enters the house, there’s a 13-foot-deep indoor pool next to the double-height living room. To the right, a Care wall lamp (1966) by Miguel Milá for Polinax. In a bathroom, the tiles are original, the ‘70s Tube lamp is by Rolf Krüger for Staff Leuchten, and the Granda mirror is by Luciano Bertoncini for Elco. Pantone plans to restore the property (which has not been altered since it was completed) and convert it into an artists’ residence, a place for new works and content to be created, a museum, and a gallery. “It is the project of a lifetime”, he says. The chocolate brown staircase, with a carpet in a lighter shade, is instantly recognisable from its appearance in the third episode of the new season of Black Mirror. “I want to keep the stipple paint, the discotheque in the basement, change the skylight above the pool... The best thing about this whole project is that, from the very beginning, other people have wanted to join in. There is something special about this house; it has an emotional attraction”, Pantone explains. This story was first published by AD Spain. It was translated by John Newton.

The first time I played the Dragon Age series and met Leliana love and justice were more important than anything else If we understand queerness not just as non-normative gender or sexual identity but as a theory and practice of disturbing then this was already a queer way of experiencing the series I didn’t recognise her brief cameo in Dragon Age 2 so my first meaningful encounter with Leliana was in Inquisition She immediately comes across as professional You wouldn’t immediately peg her as someone so deeply devoted but her companion quest powerfully focuses on issues of faith and doubt Having dedicated many years to her service Leliana is no longer so secure in her idea of what service to her God She asks questions that are certainly familiar to me: How could the needless deaths of so many be the will of the Maker I certainly had an on-and-off relationship with faith for a while and I was so bound by my fear of God I could sometimes barely feel anything else whether it was because everything around me told me that being queer and believing in God at the same time was impossible or because it was difficult to understand how violence and suffering could be His will I thought that must be the end of our relationship when she could feel that she was serving the Maker Leliana’s devotion to Justinia is so powerful that the game even offers the player the option to ask if she and Justinia were lovers we begin to brush against the ways in which Leliana queers normative assumptions and narratives about faith when I wound back the clock to play the first Dragon Age game The Leliana that the Warden encounters in Dragon Age: Origins is very different from the one we encounter in Inquisition and though she is certainly just as passionate and somehow just as elusive we discover that Leliana is being hunted by her former lover and employer The Leliana’s Song DLC recounts the betrayal and heartbreak that she experienced at Marjolaine’s hands in more detail importantly showing us how it led her to the Chantry – specifically to Mother Dorothea Dorothea enlists Leliana’s help because she religion has had painful and lasting effects on many of us as queer people Guilt and shame certainly still colour the way I relate to myself and those around me in ways I sometimes think I’m only just beginning to comprehend in spite or even because of an admittedly tumultuous journey in that word you can’t quite hold in your hand but feel as it slips through your fingers questions of faith and doubt are inseparable from the queer and shape her sense of self and her relations to others Traditional structures associated with faith are queered through the displacement of hetero-patriarchal relations by matriarchal The Chantry itself has a matriarchal structure and Leliana’s personal devotion to Marjolaine and to the Maker – who has no gender no matter what pronouns we use – are all deeply connected it’s Leliana’s faith in them that is tested and she practises what she preaches – liberation and compassion Faith is a difficult thing for a lot of queer people From the role of the church in European colonialism enforcing anti-homosexuality laws on cultures across the world and spreading conversion therapy practices… The simple historical fact of it is that the institution of religion – particularly Christianity – has justified and promoted violence against queer people this same oppression is true of the Chantry The Chantry is structured around colonial violence and the systemic oppression of elves – a racialised group that mostly resemble Indigenous peoples – through the colonisation of elven land the massacre of elves in holy wars called ‘Exalted Marches’ the ghettoisation of elven communities in cities the suppression of the elven ‘Dalish’ religion and language The Chantry also polices magic and oppresses mages in ways which are arguably queer-coded Mages are born with magic; magic is often discussed in terms of being ‘unnatural’; blood and desire are important aspects of why people fear magic mages will be imprisoned in a Circle against their will and if they refuse to comply with the Circle they will be ‘made tranquil’ and agency in what is essentially a magical lobotomy Leliana resists the violence of the Chantry as an institution you gain Leliana’s approval through helping those in need and demonstrating your commitment to ending systemic oppression collected spymaster pretty much only loses her cool when her anger at injustice compels her Whether as Sister or as Left Hand of the Divine she consistently uses her position within the Chantry to question In Origins she professes to feeling an outcast from the other sisters because of her radical beliefs should the Inquisitor support Leliana’s bid for Divine as Divine Victoria she becomes an even more ‘controversial’ figure advocating for the freedom of elves and mages Leliana understands that the institution of the Chantry has wrought an enormous amount of violence across Thedas but believes that the principles of faith should be understood as serving the liberation of the oppressed instead Leliana is so compelling to me not only because the very fact of being a queer person of faith is an underrepresented experience but because it’s characterised by Dragon Age in a refreshingly sensitive It doesn’t fall into tired tropes that represent faith as inherently queerphobic it doesn’t depict Leliana rejected by a faith community or a religious family and it even conveys her finding and navigating faith rather than losing it These aspects of her are not in opposition but irrevocably connected; it’s complicated but faith offers genuine meaning and empowerment to Leliana when I finally met people who proved the notion that faith is inherently oppressive Leliana’s failure to ‘know’ the will of God her failure to occupy a normative position within the Chantry Leliana’s queerness is more than identity; it’s the way she moves through structures of power she occupies and enacts a place of resistance and in spite of all that to believe in a better way of being to struggle and to resist in order to make that a

From her new profile page on the Dragon Age: Inquisition website: "She has many names. Most know her as Sister Nightingale or the Left Hand of the Divine and that her devotion to the Maker is matched only by her devotion to Divine Justinia V Those who have earned her loyalty know her as a steadfast ally But enemies of the Divine know to fear her for she is the shadow behind the Sunburst Throne—the one who watches and waits who strikes when her mark is most vulnerable and least suspecting."

That count was based on allegations that she left her daughter in Biller's care even though Leliana had wandered away from his home before. "I don't think a term of incarceration...solves anything," Lewis said before imposing Biller's sentence He said the trauma Biller's and Graham's family is facing over the tot's death must be "close to unbearable." Lewis ordered Biller to spend 3 months on house arrest and another 21 months on probation He also fined Biller $2,500 and ordered him to perform 200 hours of community service Biller must report to the work-release center on May 22 Chief Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Gettle noted the guideline range sentence for Biller's offenses was 9 to 16 months behind bars Neither Biller nor Graham had sentencing agreements with the DA's office "This was a very unfortunate set of circumstances," she said "He thinks about this every day." They just made a mistake," said Biller's and Graham's mother "I think about that day all day and all night...wondering what I could have done different so my niece would be here with us," Biller told the judge "I took care of her like she was my own daughter Not a day goes by that I don't miss her." Police said Biller was baby-sitting Leliana while Graham a single mother who has since given birth to a son said her client was too emotionally overwrought to address the judge She said Graham is struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder because of her daughter's death Gettle said the Biller house was not secured well enough to prevent Leliana from getting outside even though the child had a history of repeatedly roaming unattended the girl had gotten out of Graham's apartment and wandered through Middletown "This is a tragic situation," Gettle said "The commonwealth did not relish filing charges But we could not ignore the history of this child getting out of the care of the family." "We have a lot of wandering (child) cases I hope that this...will be a wake-up call to some of these other parents," she added In return for the Biller and Graham plea deals the prosecution dropped separate witness intimidation charges pleaded guilty to evidence tampering charges for removing the girl's clothes from the death scene Lewis sentenced him to 6 months on probation Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.

This new information comes from David Gaider, lead writer of the Dragon Age games, and transcribed by Tumblr user Felassan, during Summerfall Studio’s playthrough of Origins The playthrough revealed a lot of new information that hadn’t been revealed before – such as Dragon Age 2’s Mage Hawke cut side-quest of having to deal with being tricked by the demon in their head as well as Awakening being worked on before Origins had even released – but Zevran and Leliana not being bisexual has officially blown our minds was intended to be gay due to Gaider having read that gay men were recruited into organizations like the CIA and KGB due to them having ‘no family ties.’ He thought that was interesting felt that all the work that would go into Zevran would be better suited if he [and Leliana] were bisexual The reasoning for Leliana being bisexual was not talked about but Gaider summed up that both of them were “bi out of convenience.” Of course that doesn’t mean these characters are no longer bisexual Gaider left BioWare back in 2016, and is now currently working alongside ex-Beamdog developer, Liam Esler in creating Chorus – a video game musical [She/They] Aimee Hart specializes in queer fandom having started her career writing for numerous websites like The Verge Her goal now is to boost LGBTQ+ voices in the video games industry Interesting… in the game he can’t shut up about banging other females lol bisexual guys never mention any male love interest 🙁 household goods and small appliances stores now has 4 stores in the province of Valencia household appliances for 10 euros and household goods for 20 euros MGI round price stores have expanded throughout the Peninsula like an oil stain marking their presence in the province of Valencia This Malaga-based discount giant already has 4 stores in Alfafar and has an additional presence in the provinces of Castellón and Alicante large purchase volumes and an extensive catalog of toys from the main franchises in the market ( currently offering up to 360 products in toys alone) MGI stores have established themselves as an alternative to department stores during the Christmas and summer campaigns On its shelves you will find products for all areas of the home including small garden furniture and household appliances such as mixers View this post on Instagram A post shared by Valencia Secreta (@valencia_secreta) MGI stores in Valencia are located at the following addresses: From sushi and other Japanese dishes to salads and pizzas Valencia has a wide range of restaurants with free buffet so you won't go hungry In this article we have compiled where the best free buffets in Valencia are vegetarian or vegan dishes or even a pizza binge View this post on Instagram A post shared by Valencia Secreta (@valencia_secreta) The first free buffet set in the Pokémon series has just opened in Valencia.

We can say loudly that we have one of the best markets in Europe, but there are many others that accompany it, offering experiences beyond the usual buying and selling of these spaces. If you want to have lunch or dinner at the best markets in Valencia We start our list with the flagship of Valencian gastronomy. This market has inside bars and stalls that allow you to make a stop in the middle of the maelstrom of this site we recommend you try the bar at Central Bar by Ricard Camarena or the best delicatessen product at Super Gourmet (in the market’s outdoor bars) if you are looking for a picnic around the market but you want a product already prepared and ready to eat You can drink coffee at the Retrogusto bar A new gastronomic space in the heart of Cabanyal. This is how Mercabañal was born.  It houses four different spaces – El Bar La Paraeta and Pizza Lab – whose common thread is the quality of the raw materials and the nods to the tradition of the neighborhood from a contemporary and gastronomic perspective Close to the main points of interest of the city such as the Torres de Quart and Serranos this small gastronomic space gives us the opportunity to have an informal meal around some oysters at a good price as those of the Ostreria del Carmen or enjoy a good wine (with appetizer) in Vinostrum Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm This market has a bar that attracts many people It is the bar-restaurant of the Rojas Clemente Market and offers sandwiches traditional dishes and homemade desserts in a simple neighborhood bar-restaurant but if you feel like having lunch in the Zone the Bar Mercado del Cabanyal is one of the bars you have to visit if you are in the area of the Mercado del Cabanyal enjoying an aperitif on the terrace is a delight Although it is not necessary that summer arrives to be conquered by a bar of all the life I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new DLC but I also was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed I could tell that the feel for this DLC would be significantly different especially the events that led Leliana to join the Chantry knew that Marjolaine betrayed Leliana from what was said in Dragon Age: Origins Marjolaine tells how you and your sidekicks although his hair might have been hiding some elf ears In the beginning I got a good sense for who the two new characters were she goes on to say how there is one last task for the night and that it takes place in the Arl’s estate you are to plant some papers in the bedroom of the Arl Leliana notices that the papers contain the official seal of the Orlais military and what she has committed can be considered treason Here is where Marjoliane becomes a complete back-stabbing bitch: she sets you up When you are fleeing the estate with the papers Sadly some things have happened to a member of your party but you gain a new member to take their place that by having three members in my party rather than four some battles were difficult since I had to drastically adjust my tactics Fortunately I was able to level up multiple times throughout the DLC Once Leliana and her companions break free from the jail From there she is shown that reformation and change can happen She just has to make the right decision for her Obviously one would think Leliana wanted revenge Leliana knows that she at least has to fix the damage that was done and retrieve those papers but if you’ve played through all of Dragon Age: Origins and at times it heavily reminded me of Kill Bill Getting to see Leliana kick some ass was awesome too because it really shows just how drastically her character has changed from her time in the Chantry and you were given the option to make choices and it really fit with the style of the DLC When I played through Leliana’s Song but if you don’t care and skip through the cutscenes you can finish it in a significantly shorter amount of time but it is still much longer than the other DLC’s in terms of playable content so I have no idea what the exclusive items are but I know there are at least 3 new achievements you can get in the DLC One is obtained by doing various acts to a drunk another is by collecting multiple pieces of leather to create armor and I’ll say it again: If you’re a fan of Dragon Age it was nice getting to learn more about Leliana My only complaint is that I wished it were longer especially because the price on Leliana’s Song is 560 Microsoft Points compared to past DLC which was priced at 400 You can download Leliana’s Song for PC here, Xbox 360 here, and for PS3 here Please enter your username or email address You will receive a link to create a new password via email
