Governors residents will get a gateFriday Governors residents want security gateFriday Katie and Paul Capriolo moved their young family from Maryland to a townhouse in the Governors condominiums near Lewes two years ago for a more peaceful environment they and their neighbors have been fighting to ensure that two gates separating Governors from the planned adjacent Village Center shopping center and Village Center Cottages are not removed and a roadway between them opened to the public “One of the big draws to become residents full time is the safety of the communities in Delaware and here in Lewes,” Katie Capriolo said “My kids can play outside with their friends and I know they’re safe.” Neighbors convinced Sussex County Council a year ago to require the gates which the Capriolo family can see from their house on a request by the developer to remove a requirement for the gates from the site plan but several Governors residents urged council to keep the gates in place to protect their 432-unit development a lawyer representing the Governors Condominium Association said the ongoing housing expansion created by the developers resulted in traffic congestion on nearby roads and removing the gates will create a shortcut to ease the congestion “[The developers] want you to fix their problem on my clients’ backs,” Valihura said a lawyer representing Jack Lingo Asset Management and J.G explained the lengths the developer went to in making it clear to homebuyers that the connection between the two developments was going to happen He also noted that the county’s comprehensive plan encouraged connections between developments He showed a photo of the gates across a paved access road that ends between the two adjacent sites an original member and a past president of the Governors Condominium Association 12 that homebuyers did not realize how the connection would affect them “It was conceptual,” he said of the information given to prospective buyers “The photos in the brochure showed a field with snow geese in part to receive a recommendation from the county planning & zoning commission 11 to back the request to remove the requirement that the gates remain in place The commission gave a list of reasons to remove the mandate for the gates noting the connection was always part of the Governors project links between developments are encouraged in the county comprehensive plan and homeowners were all informed of the interconnection before they bought their lots “Despite this clear directive that this roadway must remain open to all vehicular traffic at all times without obstruction county council inexplicably added a provision at the end of this condition that a gate could be installed in the roadway,” the recommendations noted “This addition was in error because this roadway cannot remain open to vehicular traffic at all times without obstruction at the same time that a gate exists.” “The purpose of interconnectivity is to provide emergency access,” Mears said “A siren-activated gate meets the purpose of interconnectivity A fob gate will provide access for homeowners.” He also said traffic congestion on Kings Highway and Gills Neck Road would encourage drivers to use Stockley and Governors boulevards as a shortcut through the neighborhood That would risk the safety of Governors’ residents and cause additional road maintenance costs from the increased traffic on the road Commissioner Gregory Collins said he can appreciate safety concerns but the gate was clearly part of the plan for the Governors project County council will accept written comments from the public on the issue until 4:30 p.m. and could decide the matter at its meeting at 10 a.m. Hanson said he is frustrated that the planning & zoning commission did not seem to take neighbors’ concerns into account when it recommended removal of the gate “We thought there’d be more appreciation for the safety concerns,” he said and live next to a grassy area that is right there [near the gates] People are constantly walking up and down the street to get to the clubhouse.”  On 15 August the Catholic Church and Catholics worldwide celebrate the most important Marian feast which commemorates the death and Assumption of the Virgin Mary The feast was already commemorated in Jerusalem in the 5th century where it was called Dormitio sanctae Mariae meaning ‘the Dormition of the Holy Virgin.’ By the 6th century or the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Pope Pius XII proclaimed as a dogma on 1 November 1950 that having completed the course of her earthly life was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.’ King Saint Stephen of Hungary considered this feast so important that he entrusted Hungary to the protection of the Virgin Mary on this day the Virgin Mary is known as the heavenly patroness of Hungary Saint Stephen died on the Feast of the Assumption in 1038 The Feast of the Assumption is a holy day of obligation meaning that Catholic believers are required to attend Mass on this day and numerous other churches celebrate their patronal feast on this day While the Feast of the Assumption is not a public holiday in Hungary in neighbouring Romania public employees will enjoy a long weekend this year as the government has linked the public holiday on 15 August with the weekend by declaring a day off This day is also a public holiday in most European countries with a Catholic majority population Hungary also celebrated the Feast of the Assumption as a public holiday the Matthias Church in the 1st district of Budapest also commemorates the Virgin Mary The rebuilt Church was consecrated on 15 August 1896 the original church was built in the Romanesque style and consecrated in 1015 by order of King Saint Stephen it was allegedly destroyed during the Mongol invasion of 1241 although there are few references to this event The current building was constructed in the late Gothic style in the second half of the 14th century and underwent extensive reconstruction in the late 19th century it was the second-largest church in Medieval Buda and the seventh-largest in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary The church was also the site of the ‘Miracle of Mary.’ According to legend when the army of the Holy League besieged and eventually liberated Buda one of the church walls collapsed due to cannon fire When the statue of the Virgin Mary appeared before the Muslims and the city was recaptured by the Christians on the same day Sources: Catholic Shrine Basilica/Hungarian Conservative Hungarian Conservative is a quarterly magazine on contemporary political philosophical and cultural issues from a conservative perspective I suspect a good few of you out there will not have heard about this brand of boots In the great scheme of things Brandecosse is not the grass roots of this company go far deeper I saw an advert and liked the looks and because I am always looking for new and perhaps less-known products that suit ‘our’ needs I got in touch and hey presto which involved a huge range of very varied needs for my footwear and in particular for me; not only did they need to cope with all sorts but the boots also needed to be light and easy to pack if not in use On this trip I would be in hot as well as very cold conditions and on everything from hot tarmac to rough and muddy tracks as well as frozen ground and wet ship and boat decks I needed to be comfortable for long days of use Quite a big ask but as ideally only able to take three items of footwear I opted for multipurpose boots smart shoes for dress occasions and sandals I most certainly did not want clumpy heavy duty walking boots suited to a day’s walking across boggy moorland but I did need a boot that would be good for multiple applications I am also pleased to say they go up to a UK size 13 It states in the info these are also vailable for Ladies The Capriolos really came up to expectations on our extended trip and are now in frequent use back home in the UK though now looking a bit well-used I can’t help thinking that for those guys that spend a lot of their time in the shadows and really don’t want or need the more clumpy military type boots these Capriolos would be ideal Offering good supportive and waterproof footwear where being sure-footed is a definite requirement and able to be nimble and quiet and able to take on any type of conditions as they evolve The Capriolo boots are also good to drive in Hopefully more to come from Brandecosse range in the future Pingback : Brandecosse Volpe Mid-Ankle

Extensive degassing from organic-rich sediments intruded by magmas is a possible driver of the catastrophic environmental changes One of Earth’s largest magmatic events is represented by the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province which was synchronous with the end-Triassic mass extinction we show direct evidence for the presence in basaltic magmas of methane generated or remobilized from the host sedimentary sequence during the emplacement of this Large Igneous Province Abundant methane-rich fluid inclusions were entrapped within quartz at the end of magmatic crystallization in voluminous (about 1.0 × 106 km3) intrusions in Brazilian Amazonia indicating a massive (about 7.2 × 103 Gt) fluxing of methane These micrometre-sized imperfections in quartz crystals attest an extensive release of methane from magma–sediment interaction which likely contributed to the global climate changes responsible for the end-Triassic mass extinction we investigate and quantify CH4 preserved within micrometre-sized fluid inclusions (FIs) hosted in shallow basaltic intrusions from the CAMP in Brazilian Amazonia These findings indicate that CAMP magmatism generated or remobilized large amounts of CH4 which likely contributed to the end-Triassic climatic and biotic crisis a Microgabbro with early-magmatic plagioclase (Pl) and clinopyroxene (Cpx), and interstitial late-magmatic quartz (Qz;

the intruded sedimentary sequence before the crystallization of late-magmatic quartz but were not preserved by FIs in other mineral phases within the sills Our observations highlight the role of LIP magmatism and its interactions with rocks and fluids within sedimentary basins in controlling global climate changes and the evolution of life on Earth as well as in enhancing hydrocarbon maturation and remobilization Glue-free double-polished thick (about 100 μm) sections were employed for in situ confocal Raman microspectroscopy in order to avoid contamination and signal interferences from any artificial carbon-bearing compounds This analytical technique was employed to determine the whole-rock chemical composition (major elements) of the most representative FI-bearing samples (Supplementary Data 1) The analyses were conducted at the Department of Geosciences using a WDS Philips PW2400 sequential spectrometer The analytical uncertainty is < 3% for all major elements This analytical technique was employed to investigate the unexposed liquid-rich FIs through the phase transition temperatures, mainly of last-melting and homogenization, and to determine additional phases, in combination with confocal Raman microspectroscopy, under freezing conditions (e.g., hydrohalite; Supplementary Data 1) The analyses were conducted at the Lithosphere Fluid Research Lab and at the Research and Industrial Relations Center of the Faculty of Science using a LINKAM THMS600 heating–freezing stage mounted on a NIKON Eclipse E600 petrographic microscope The investigated FIs were cooled down to −190 °C using liquid N2 and then heated until homogenization was reached A NIKON × 50 objective was used to observe the phase transitions This analytical technique was employed to characterize the fluid and solid phases of unexposed FIs (Supplementary Data 1) The analyses were conducted at the Research and Industrial Relations Center of the Faculty of Science using a HORIBA

the spectra of fluid and solid phases and to characterize them through their spectral features Raman mapping) allowed to reconstruct and image the spatial distribution of the same phases within unexposed FIs A frequency doubled Nd–YAG green laser with a 532 nm excitation wavelength was employed displaying 120 mW at the source and 23 mW on the sample surface and a He–Ne red laser with a 633 nm excitation wavelength was employed exclusively to analyse H2O within calcite-hosted FIs = 0.9) objective was used to focus the laser on the analysed sites Raman spectra acquisition was conducted in both single- and multi-window settings combined with a LINKAM THMS600 microthermometric stage 2–3 accumulations and a 30–60 s exposition time were employed 1–20 accumulations and a 1–30 s exposition time were employed The investigated spectra range from 70 to 4000 cm−1 depending on the spectral region of interest for each analysed phase The spectral resolution of measurements varies from 0.8 to 3.0 cm−1 for the spot spectra Spot Raman data were processed through LabSpec 5 software and areal Raman data were processed through both LabSpec 5 and LabSpec 6 softwares This analytical technique was employed to measure the Ti and Al concentrations in both late-magmatic and hydrothermal quartz (Supplementary Data 1) The analyses were conducted at the Department of Mineral Sciences The Ti concentrations were measured using 3 PETL spectrometers and the Al concentrations using 2 TAP spectrometers for 300 s on the peak and 15 s on the background yielding a detection limit of 6–8 ppm for Ti and 4–6 ppm for Al ilmenite was used for Ti and corundum for Al This analytical technique was employed to distinguish late-magmatic and hydrothermal quartz (Supplementary Data 1) Colour CL images were acquired at the C.N.R. using a Cold Cathode Luminescence 8200 mk3 The beam current was set at 220 µA and the accelerating voltage at 20 kV Greyscale CL images were acquired at the Department of Mineral Sciences using a JEOL panchromatic cathodoluminescence detector The beam current was set at 20 nA and the accelerating voltage at 15 kV The initial temperature of the assimilated shale was set at 100 °C and its amount was set at 10 wt.% for low-Ti magmas and at 20 wt.% for high-Ti magmas The oxygen fugacity was set at the FMQ buffer corresponding to the average intrusion depth of the investigated CAMP sills Our petrologic modelling suggests that at least 10 wt.% crustal assimilation is necessary to reproduce the observed amount of quartz within the Amazonian CAMP sills high-Ti CAMP basalts do not reach quartz saturation without shale assimilation and up to 20 wt.% crustal assimilation is necessary to reproduce the same observed amount of quartz The FIs hosted in late-magmatic quartz may contain H2O+NaCl+CH4 CH4 is the only component always present during the late-magmatic stage this variability in the chemical composition of the investigated FIs reveals a continuous compositional evolution of the fluid phases throughout the whole temperature range for the crystallization of late-magmatic quartz the addition of further exsolved fluids from rising magmatic recharges as well as of brines from intruded sedimentary rocks and the crystallization of hydrous mineral phases along with quartz may progressively modify the composition of the complex H2O–NaCl–CH4 system and the H2O exsolved from the crystallizing sills is about 0.9 wt.% the total mass of H2O released from the Amazonian CAMP sills is about 2.7 × 104 Gt the higher amount of hydrous mineral phases and the lower crystallization temperatures of quartz in the investigated microgabbros compared to our modelling results suggest that the late-magmatic stage was likely richer in H2O thus not derived exclusively from the magmatic (i.e. juvenile and assimilated) component considered in our petrologic modelling but possibly also from sedimentary and metamorphic components originated in the host sedimentary sequence the occurrence of pure CH4-bearing FIs hosted in late-magmatic quartz likely represents CH4 fluxes from the metamorphic aureoles into the crystallizing sills the H2O/CH4 molar ratio was about 3.3 in the bulk fluid system within the sills during late-magmatic quartz crystallization was approximately 4.5 × 1017 mol (7.2  × 103 Gt CH4) the H2O/NaCl molar ratio was about 2.6 in the bulk fluid system within the sills during late-magmatic quartz crystallization was approximately 5.8 × 1017 mol (3.4 × 104 Gt NaCl) The Worst of Times: How Life on Earth Survived

miles on the trail The first thing that strikes you about the Capriolo – designed in Scotland ‘hand-made’ in Italy – is the clean and unfussy appearance These are the best-looking boots I have tried in a long time; the classic styling and simple muted colour scheme have a retro feel The finish seems excellent; the soft leather pleats in the bellows tongue and trim over the over the ankle the shoe’s lack of bulk adds some welcome versatility – they are quite suitable for wearing with jeans to the pub where other hiking boots would look and feel distinctly clumpy they offer some decent protection: those suede uppers are substantial but after a soaking some damp crept in around the upper laces Adding a waterproofing treatment to the uppers helped The tough Vibram outsole is generally grippy but the relatively shallow lugs struggled for traction on slippery mud Perfect for regular width and relatively low-volume feet helping you achieve a close fit right down to the toebox Three pairs of lacing hooks on the collar helps achieve a secure fit around the ankle.If your feet are wide or of fuller shape you might find the fit a little close: try before you buy The Capriolo’s aforementioned low profile is achieved primarily through the unusual expedient of virtually dispensing with a midsole – the usual layer of cushioning between the outsole and the insole In consequence they lack the ‘platform’ that generally supports the upper on other boots This brings the foot visibly closer to the ground Brandecosse say the boots do retain an ‘impact-absorbing micro-midsole’ – but this is very firm indeed a chunky memory-foam insole provides almost all the cushioning and the added trail-feel is enjoyable.But after more five miles or so on mixed surfaces the relative lack of cushioning began to punish my feet Great for walkers who prefer short distances and a capable all-round boot for outdoor activities The classic look continues with KEEN's NXIS Explorer boot with padded tongue and well cushioned EVA midsole There's also plenty of space inside for a higher-volume foot After a heavy mist lifted to sunshine and blue skies low scores started to roll in at

extreme climate that killed off swathes of life at the end of the Triassic period 201m years ago Experts say they have discovered bubbles of carbon dioxide trapped in volcanic rocks dating to the end of the Triassic backing up the theory that such activity contributed to the greenhouse climate that is believed to have been behind the mass extinction “This biotic crisis wiped out almost half of the existing species of the late Triassic in both marine and terrestrial realms,” said Manfredo Capriolo of the University of Padova in Italy While Capriolo noted the end-Triassic mass extinction has long been known to have been caused by extreme climate change and that there was large-scale volcanic activity at the time he said it had been unclear whether the volcanic activity directly contributed to the extinction event it could have been that magma caused the emission of gases as it flowed into shallow sediments shows that carbon dioxide released directly by volcanic activity would indeed have made a large contribution to the devastating climate change of the time Indeed the team say the amount of carbon emissions released in a single pulse of eruptions – which would have resulted in about 100,000 km3 of lava being spewed forth over 500 years – is on a par with the total expected to be produced by human activity over the 21st century assuming a 2C rise in global temperature above pre-industrial levels View image in fullscreenLava piles of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province in Morocco (Midelt) Photograph: Andrea MarzoliThat “[This] suggests that the end-Triassic climatic and environmental changes may have been similar to those predicted for the near future,” the team write Capriolo stressed the similarity in CO2 levels was striking “The end-Triassic world and the modern one are very different as well as the origin of the greenhouse gas emissions announce this alarming comparison,” he said Writing in the journal Nature Communications Capriolo and colleagues report how they studied more than 200 samples of rock from North America These were deposited towards the end of the Triassic in volcanic activity that contributed to the breakup of the Pangea supercontinent and the opening up of the central Atlantic Ocean with the rocks creating what is known as the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province – a vast expanse covering an area about a third of the size the moon The team found around 10% of the samples showed the presences of bubbles within small blobs of magma trapped by crystals in the rocks most of which were found to contain carbon dioxide suggests the gas probably became entrapped deep within the Earth’s crust suggesting it originated in the lower-middle crust or in the mantle From these findings the team were able to calculate the concentration of carbon dioxide that would have been present in the magma of the volcanic eruptions revealing that up to 100,000 Gt of carbon dioxide would have been released in total as the volcanic rocks were laid down associate professor of geochemistry at the University of Southampton who was not involved in the work said the role of volcanic activity in the end-Triassic mass extinction had been a matter of much debate the question as to whether widespread volcanic eruptions trigger climatic effects severe enough to result in extinction has waxed and waned from most certainly no to most certainly yes,” she said “The study reports new evidence that is the most conclusive that has been produced for CO2 being emitted directly from individual lava eruptions relating to the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province,” she said adding that the report reveals pulses of the eruptions spewed out amounts on a par to those produced by human activities “The initiation of these eruptions created one of the warmest climate since the dawn of animal life on our planet and coincided with massive extinction on land and in the oceans,” she said Pepita Capriolo and Marie-Christine Kirouack

nature of their work and past rulings they have made in criminal anti-corruption and family courts many of the 270 Afghan women who serve as judges will be in grave danger They want their safety to be guaranteed in any negotiations that take place allowing them and their families to leave the country.  “I’m terrified for women judges,” says Kirouack terrified for any women who were part and parcel of anything that was an authority Neither Capriolo nor Kirouack know any of these women personally.  “It’s definitely a sense of female solidarity that’s operating here,” says Kirouack “but also my sense of solidarity with jurists My ancestors arrived here on a boat around 1740 Except for the First and Second World Wars I haven’t been touched by these difficulties,” she says [The category of married woman was only removed from the list of incapable persons in 1954 in the Quebec Civil Code.] My father was the only one who could sign for my mother to give birth to me I am a privileged person here and I cannot stay idle.” Judge Capriolo says she only has a distant personal connection to these women “When I attended the International Association of Women Judges meeting in 2012 I met Afghan women judges and I was so overwhelmed by their courage Think of taking on that kind of mentality… and to think that their lives are at risk now… it got to me While the situation feels hopeless on the ground in Afghanistan for those watching from here Judge Capriolo finds it easier to tackle the enormity of the problem bite by bite.  “I watched the news and I just wanted to cry,” she says “But there’s a saying in Judaism” ‘You save one life you save the world.’ If we can help one person because the enormity of it is so humongous and certainly outside of our power to do anything with the government there Let them negotiate with the Taliban and let these women flee They certainly won’t be using female judges so it’s not like they’ll need them for anything.” As a woman who was able to freely pursue a career in law Judge Capriolo feels a kinship with these women “I want them not to be punished for doing what I’ve done all my life whether I can hope that they can carry on with their professions I don’t know whether they could or how they can carry on but right now my immediate concern is to make sure that they don’t die because they’re judges.” While neither of them is privy to negotiations currently taking place they’ll be ready to spring into action.  “All we can do is keep the question alive,” says Judge Capriolo “We don’t know what our government and the international community can do and what is taking place behind the scenes to help these people it will force our government to stay involved in trying to find solutions a far smaller number than the initial 6,000 promised Most of these Afghans were part of the program announced last month to resettle the families of Afghan interpreters and other support staff who worked with Canadian military forces Most of them have already arrived in Canada and the government continues to work with allies to evacuate and resettle more.  and let’s now go back to our everyday lives so they let people travel to the different borders and flee to different countries.” That international political pressure (and whatever behind-the-scenes negotiations are taking place) might be working While the Taliban had initially stated that they would prevent Afghans from leaving the country they recently released a statement saying they would now allow anyone who wants to leave as it’s hard to take a terrorist militia at their word the threat of another terrorist attack remains incredibly high Judge Capriolo understands how hopeless it all feels from thousands of miles away.  “When something terrible happens on the other end of the world it is normal and even healthy for our brains to stop worrying about it all the time,” she says “But I think there’s still something that we can do collectively as the west My purpose is to keep it in the public eye and not have it disappear from the news.” Write to your member of the National Assembly Because if we do manage to get some of these women out we will need money to sponsor them and help them set up a new life here we will need to help them start over in a new country.” From the more than 2,000 Afghan refugees who will soon be arriving or have already arrived in Canada 300 will be coming to Quebec and there remains the very basic need for financial support.  “Let’s make sure these people are welcomed and given what they need,” says Judge Capriolo Both women say they have already received offers from Quebecers who want to help How do we get them apartments?” “Once they get here The federal government also has a page pointing to where Canadians can volunteer and donate money While Justice Capriolo insists she has no personal connection to any of these Afghan women that she’s trying to help Her own family’s history makes her understand the urgency and the gravity of the situation more than some.  “I think of these people with their young children being locked up somewhere and being scared for their lives,” she says “I am very careful not to make comparisons with the Holocaust but my grandmother told me about being locked up in a closet in Romania (with my grandfather and my very young mother) and the Nazis knocking on the door — that image is so vivid that it stayed with me These women are doing the same thing right now Every time someone knocks on the door they don’t know if they’re going to be killed.” ■ Read more editorials by Toula Drimonis here I spent the day with the renowned chef and restaurateur sourcing rainbow trout in Montebello and watching her assemble a perfect crudo at her restaurant in the Village One of the most complete and enjoyable restaurant experiences anywhere Metrics details Large Igneous Province eruptions coincide with many major Phanerozoic mass extinctions suggesting a cause-effect relationship where volcanic degassing triggers global climatic changes In order to fully understand this relationship it is necessary to constrain the quantity and type of degassed magmatic volatiles and to determine the depth of their source and the timing of eruption Here we present direct evidence of abundant CO2 in basaltic rocks from the end-Triassic Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) through investigation of gas exsolution bubbles preserved by melt inclusions Our results indicate abundance of CO2 and a mantle and/or lower-middle crustal origin for at least part of the degassed carbon The presence of deep carbon is a key control on the emplacement mode of CAMP magmas favouring rapid eruption pulses (a few centuries each) Our estimates suggest that the amount of CO2 that each CAMP magmatic pulse injected into the end-Triassic atmosphere is comparable to the amount of anthropogenic emissions projected for the 21st century Such large volumes of volcanic CO2 likely contributed to end-Triassic global warming and ocean acidification Since the exsolution of CO2 changes the physical properties (e.g. it may therefore play a crucial role in their ascent and could explain the pulsed eruptive style observed for LIPs direct evidence of CO2 abundance in the deep magmas of LIPs is lacking Backscattered electrons (BSE) image a and corresponding scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) maps b–f of a thin section area including MIs and the hosting glomerocrystic clinopyroxene aggregates In the BSE image the brighter portions of clinopyroxene have augitic (Aug) composition and the darker ones have pigeonitic (Pgt) composition In the SEM–EDS maps the brighter regions correspond to higher concentrations of the analysed element These maps were acquired on sample NEW31 (New Jersey Left column: transmitted light photomicrographs at optical microscope of the analysed areas Right column: Raman hyperspectral maps of the corresponding areas e Photomicrographs of elemental carbon-bearing single- and multi-bubble MIs (a and c: sample NEW31 f Raman hyperspectral maps of the same samples area g Photomicrograph of an irregular-shaped CO2-bearing multi-bubble MI (sample NS12 h Raman hyperspectral map of the same sample area The Raman signal of CO2 is weak due to its low density spot analyses confirmed the presence of CO2 in all bubbles and thus is much smaller than the plotted symbols the observed distribution of volatile species between glass and bubbles within MIs suggests the dominant occurrence of gas exsolution and bubble formation at relatively high pressures from a CO2-rich melt deriving from the ±10% accuracy on measured Na concentration) This scenario for rapid CO2 emissions predicts a global temperature increase of about 2 °C and an oceanic pH decrease of about 0.15 units over 0.1 kyrs and suggests that the end-Triassic climatic and environmental changes may have been similar to those predicted for the near future The basaltic rocks analysed for the present study were sampled from CAMP lava flows and sills in North America (USA and Canada), Africa (Morocco), and Europe (Portugal; Supplementary Table 1) Using reflected and transmitted light optical microscopy samples with bubble-bearing MIs were selected for this study from a total of over 200 intrusive and effusive samples screened from throughout CAMP Mainly basalt lava flows were selected for this study as they appear richer in MIs than intrusive rocks Because of the possible contaminations and the very low carbon concentrations characterizing the volatile content of bubbles in MIs within 201 Ma-old basaltic rocks is extremely challenging In order to prevent any potential contamination of carbon species while preparing usually involved in sample cut and polishing (e.g. were carefully avoided or completely dissolved in acetone before analysis Both thin and thick sections were prepared glue-free double-polished thick (about 100 μm) sections were used for in situ confocal Raman microspectroscopy in order to avoid contamination and signal interferences from any carbon-bearing organic compounds Confocal Raman microspectroscopy was employed to detect and analyse the solid and fluid phases within bubbles of unexposed MIs In the glue-free double-polished thick sections analyses were carried out below the sample surface for all the phases within bubbles of unexposed MIs and on the sample surface for the glass of exposed MIs The analyses were conducted at the Research and Instrument Core Facility of the Faculty of Science using a HORIBA JobinYvon LabRAM HR 800 Raman microspectrometer This analytical technique was applied to all samples involved in this study for the characterization of carbon species within bubble-bearing MIs Both spot and areal analyses were carried out Spot Raman analysis allowed us to acquire spectra of the phases present in glass and bubbles of MIs and to investigate their crystalline form (for solid phases) and their density and pressure (for fluid phases) through spectral features Raman mapping) allowed us to reconstruct the spatial distribution of solid and fluid phases in bubbles of MIs A frequency doubled Nd-YAG green laser with a 532 nm excitation wavelength was employed and an OLYMPUS ×100 objective was used to focus the laser on the analysed sites using a 100 μm confocal hole (50 μm confocal hole for maps on NEW31) 1800 grooves/mm optical gratings (600 grooves/mm optical gratings for all the maps and some spot spectra) 2–10 accumulations and 8–120 s exposition time a He–Ne red laser with a 633 nm excitation wavelength was occasionally used in order to distinguish fluorescence emissions The investigated spectra range from 100 to 4000 cm−1 The spectral resolution of measurements varied from 0.8 to 3.0 cm−1 for the spot spectra The high degree of variability in analytical conditions is due to the very different types of analysed materials and to the general low quantity of the analysed phases within bubbles of MIs All the Raman data were processed through LabSpec 5 and OMNIC For Dispersive Raman softwares SEM–EDS was employed to semi-quantitatively estimate the major element composition of the glass in exposed MIs and to chemically map the glomerocrystic clinopyroxene aggregates surrounding the MIs equipped with an EDAX spectroscopy probe (sample NEW31) Both spot and areal analyses were carried out in order to qualitatively distinguish chemically different phases and to detect possible compositional variations Concentrations and uncertainties were calculated using the R programme considering both counting statistics on each analysis and uncertainties of the calibration curves the CO2 concentration within the whole MI (i.e. glass plus bubbles) ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 wt% sample AN39 contains only disordered graphite instead sample NEW31 contains both disordered graphite and amorphous carbon our data present a wide range for both PP values indicating materials with different crystallinity indicating materials with different thermal maturity the FWHM values usually above 40 cm−1 reveal a general low-thermal maturity of the elemental carbon (as expected for materials of poor crystallinity) These calculations suggest that the average composition of the MIs glass can be obtained by ca 55% crystallization of a typical CAMP basalt where the fractionating assemblage consists of ca The discrepancy between the small amount of observed crystallization (of clinopyroxene in thin films and of magnetite in tiny crystals) versus estimated crystallization and the lack of plagioclase within the MIs suggest that at least part of the crystallization necessary to explain the differentiated nature of the MIs glass the differentiation process of MIs glass is not exclusively due to post-entrapment crystallization and diffusive re-equilibration Faint halos and local regions of relatively low Ca and high Fe ± Mg around the MIs in SEM–EDS maps support the presence of augite–pigeonite exsolution lamellae close to the MIs glass it is likely that such augite–pigeonite mixtures around MIs formed at subsolidus conditions from an intermediate composition clinopyroxene which crystallized from the melt after its entrapment (i.e. Since such features could not be detected by EMP analyses it is suggested that the crystallized MIs rim is less than ca 3–4 μm in thickness and the exsolution lamellae are narrower than ca Large

The report notes that no investigation was undertaken at the time Justice Capriolo says "The primary culprit is the lack of accountability (…) Complaints were 'passed on' and no one took responsibility for acting on them." She also points to "a culture of secrecy which reigned in the Church during the period covered by this investigation," resulting in missing documents and the general lack of a paper trail The thrust of her 31 recommendations can be summarized as follows: Archbishop Lépine first addressed the victims and those directly affected by the Brian Boucher affair "In name of the Catholic Church in Montreal and speaking for myself personally to your loved ones and your parish communities how sorry we are that you experienced the effects of such terrible criminal acts The Archbishop then expressed his sincere gratitude to Justice Capriolo under difficult circumstances about a very difficult subject "We welcome the conclusions of your report in humility and with a deep sense of regret and we commit ourselves to act decisively to deter such situations from occurring again," he underlined The Archbishop pointed out that the external investigation was commissioned to provide the Archdiocese with the tools it needs to continue a process of transformation already begun so that all those who approach the Catholic Church do so confidently To ensure the success of this transformation knowing the truth about the conditions and circumstances that allowed Mr Boucher's behaviour to persist as long as it did prior to a criminal investigation is an essential element "The goal is not to point fingers but to uncover the gaps and deficiencies in our structures and policies so that we can make the necessary changes," he explained notably with the implementation of our Responsible Pastoral Ministry Policy as well as with the Brian Boucher investigation that culminated in his arrest and conviction," he noted "We welcome the recommendations of the Capriolo Report and are committed to furthering the process of change that would facilitate thorough investigation and swift decisions in the future" The Archbishop stated that the gaps and deficiencies identified in diocesan structures and culture will be addressed through implementation of the 31 proposed recommendations Justice Capriolo has agreed to co-chair the committee with Archbishop Lépine Committee membership will be finalized shortly Implementation of the recommendations is expected to be completed by next fall notably to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Congregation for Bishops The statistical audit of diocesan files dating back to 1940 compiling allegations against members of the clergy of the Catholic Church of Montreal of sexual abuse of minors This audit was originally entrusted to retired Justice Anne-Marie Trahan he was convicted of sexual assault of two minors and sentenced to a prison term of eight years on March 25 The Archdiocese of Montreal had removed Mr Boucher's priestly faculties in December 2015 after learning of alleged impropriety A canonical administrative trial began in October 2016 for which the Vatican appointed Archbishop Lépine as judge with authority to render a definitive verdict and sentence this process was temporarily suspended in March 2017 a normal procedure when civil or criminal procedures are under way simultaneously Archbishop Lépine delivered his verdict 11 days later imposing the harshest penalty for a cleric: dismissal from the clerical state Access to the report and to the press conference A recording of the press conference will be available on the Catholic Church of Montreal's YouTube channel later in the afternoon on November 25 Erika Jacinto, Press secretary, Archbishop's office,

This article was published more than 4 years ago is shown in this undated police handout photo.HO/The Canadian Press Montreal’s archdiocese did little to address complaints against a pedophile priest and seemed more interested in protecting his reputation than his victims according to an independent review released Wednesday Former Quebec Superior Court justice Pepita G Capriolo’s report highlighted numerous deficiencies in the church’s response to complaints against Brian Boucher to eight years in prison for abusing two boys secret hiding places for sensitive documents and documents so secret they have been eliminated completely.” Capriolo told a news conference Wednesday the church improperly handled complaints against Mr “Yet Boucher’s inexcusable behaviour had been the subject of a slew of complaints from the very start of his career in the church.” Her 276-page report described complaints against Mr misogynistic as well as verbally and physically aggressive “What struck me most was the passing of the buck,” Ms “The need to protect the reputation of Boucher seemed to be paramount.” No minors had come forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Mr She said in the report that church officials responsible for overseeing Mr training and his work as a priest lacked accountability and didn’t take complaints against him seriously had complained to the archdiocese in the late 1990s and early 2000s about situations involving Mr Boucher that she said should have been more thoroughly investigated Boucher was sent for psychological treatment in connection with one complaint adding that documents for the other disappeared altogether Boucher’s interest in young boys since the 1980s adding that concerns about the priest had been communicated to the Grand Seminary of Montreal and the archdiocese Boucher was sent for therapy instead of discipline His 2003 psychological assessment concluded Mr Boucher had a desire to exercise emotional control and power over young people but it suggested the “need has not been sexually based.” Ms Capriolo said nothing in the report backed up that conclusion “This is important because [the report] was later used as further justification in dismissing Boucher’s potential as a sexual abuser,” Ms Boucher’s constant threats of legal action – including against fellow clergy – served to keep people quiet the church had an advisory committee on sexual abuse of minors but no one thought it was appropriate to refer Mr “An overdue concern with Boucher’s reputation prevented any kind of investigation that might have given rise to better decisions regarding his ordination,” she wrote Capriolo began her investigation a year ago interviewing 60 witnesses and reviewing hundreds of documents Her report noted that a culture of secrecy during this period meant important documents vanished and there was a lack of a paper trail Capriolo on her own fact-finding mission to outside sources or into the church’s own secret archives Archbishop Christian Lepine said the archdiocese will adopt each of the 31 recommendations put forth by Ms who will help the church implement them by the fall of 2021 “In the name of the Catholic Church of Montreal and speaking for myself I wish to say how sorry we are that you have had to experience the effects of such terrible acts which should have never occurred,” Archbishop Lepine told a news conference Capriolo’s recommendations include better oversight strict protocols for dealing with abuse and sanctions for those who violate rules She also recommended the installation of an external ombudsperson and the creation of an advisory committee to examine complaints Our Morning Update and Evening Update newsletters are written by Globe editors, giving you a concise summary of the day’s most important headlines.
