January 2023 - Four young candidates for Salesian life after three months of discernment and getting to know Salesian life as aspirants The ceremony took place on January 8 in the community chapel and was attended by the entire "Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians" community in Rumia presided over the ceremony and welcomed the desire of Wiktor and Wiktor to continue their formation for life in the Salesian Congregation was appointed as the person in charge of the pre-novitiate whose task will be to accompany and guide the pre-novitiates ANS - “Agenzia iNfo Salesiana” is a on-line almost daily publication the communication agency of the Salesian Congregation enrolled in the Press Register of the Tibunal of Rome as n 153/2007 This site also uses third-party cookies to improve user experience and for statistical purposes By scrolling through this page or by clicking on any of its elements the whole business with the necklace made it plain why Celica chose her words so carefully when she contacted Glenn at the end of last episode I figured that coming before the Queen so he could use his Fool's World spell would play into this somehow His power prevented the necklace from detonating Albert and Re=L prove to not be enemies after all and while I didn't expect them to be quite so chummy (Glenn is definitely going to have his hands full when Re=L joins his class presumably as undercover protection for Rumia if the opener is anything to go by.) The one big reveal is that Glenn isn't the only one connected to a Tarot card among the royal special forces The scheme of trading places with Albert and Re=L was also clever (if hardly original); I suspected something was up with the second “what Glenn would say” comment The scene toward the end where Rumia and Glenn reminisce over the time that he rescued her three years ago was also neat though it raises the question about whether or not that incident led to her being cast off as dead it just didn't feel like this plot came together in dynamic fashion for some reason Maybe the pacing was a little too slow or the shot selection wasn't that sharp this episode should have more punch than it did and that's without bringing up the tired joke at the end about how Glenn can't get ahead even when he wins the series is starting to build an intriguing story and now I'm actually looking forward to more Learn more about the Flint Institute of Arts at flintarts.org © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.

Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter and Facebook Spectacles is pursuing some goal in a roundabout way we still can't rule out Rumia eventually being in danger All indications are that this is Sistine's arc instead though since she's the one in a bind by the end of the episode and because of that we may not even see a return to whatever Elanor's up to before the season ends because this week's plot is plenty interesting enough the class duel set up at the end of last episode is resolved in a draw before the halfway point so much to Leos's consternation that he challenges Glenn to a one-on-one duel perhaps in part because Glenn isn't acting like her dream image of him she confronts Glenn about it rather than letting the issue linger for multiple episodes – a welcome change of pace for this kind of series Glenn's revelation of the truth probably won't be surprising but he also got so upset by Leos trying to shut down Sistine's dream (which he respects since by implication his own dream has become tarnished) that he reacted without thinking The conversation they have on the wall is one of the series' best interpersonal scenes and I was glad to see his reasons come down to more than just “I'm doing it because you're my student” logic which Sistine doesn't buy when Glenn tries to laugh the whole thing off that way though his ambition doesn't seem to be anything as grandiose or overtly illegal as I expected Wedding Sistine is all part of a family power play for him so he's not so much a criminal as just a bastard and ready to blackmail Sistine into cooperating by threatening to reveal Rumia and Re=L's identities That leaves things in a grim state of affairs at the end of the episode a situation promoted very effectively by the ominous musical score What all of this has to do with Angel's Dust – which we see come up in another scene – is still yet to be made clear The cheap angle would be to drop that plot at Leos's doorstep and I hope they don't because his wickedness of using Sistine as a tool is plenty sufficient to villainize him I'm also very curious to see how this story will play out The most reasonable expectation would be for Glenn to disrupt Sistine's wedding to Leos but this series has shown at least some capacity to strive higher this has been an unexpectedly enjoyable series so far and I don't see that changing with the finale spoiled the surprise of the big twist concerning her which (unsurprisingly) also bore a similarity to Re-L's arc in her series I do want to stress that my complaints are about the series failing to impress at this point rather than outright failing with the details about Re=L's past coming out in an unobtrusive way and the arc ends with a solid link to future developments for a change via the completed spell data that Elanor has obtained The all-too-common “I'll hold this guy off while you go on” routine played out in more sensible fashion with Glenn actually having to maneuver around the baddie under Albert's distraction rather than the foe just letting him pass Sistine's scene where she discourages the others from trying to get involved was also handled better than normal Re=L's “sisters” were not a fearsome threat and it was satisfying to see Re=L dispatch them herself Allowing Albert and Glenn to get through their fights with relative ease was also welcome; having them dominate all the time would become boring but they should be able to use their skills as trained operatives to breeze through lesser opponents for this episode not doing anything that impressive The face-to-face meeting between the Queen and Rumia was every bit as sticky a reunion as it should have been The Queen reinforces the impression she gave us last episode that Princess Ermiana being cast out and passed off as dead was more an act of necessity than anything she wanted to do as she's clearly quite happy to see that Rumia is doing well (Whether she actually believed that Ermiana's special nature made her toxic to the royal family is not made clear.) However even though Rumia understands why it had to be done she's still bitter and conflicted about the incident It was no exaggeration in the previous episode when she said that she regards Sistine's parents as her own;she even goes as far as telling Glenn that she sees accepting her real mother as a dishonor to her current parents Even discounting what happened three years ago the Queen's behavior is at least partly to blame for Rumia's internal conflict Putting her copy of the locket back on for meeting Rumia would have been a powerful symbolic gesture so much so that Rumia interprets her not doing it as an additional rejection The scene where she hashes out her feelings with Glenn is a great follow-up the kind of thing that anime series often don't take the time to do right there are two newer characters to bring into the picture They're apparently former coworkers of Glenn who are none too happy that he left the assassination biz her keen desire to attack Glenn could just be part of her personality rather than any specifically intense hatred for his betrayal.) However despite the girl of the two attacking Glenn at the end of the episode their words suggest that they aren't necessarily his enemies; they're still loyal to the Queen and distrustful of her Royal Guard – and with good reason – so they could probably become grudging allies after a brief skirmish At this point, this series is starting to remind me of A Certain Magical Index 2 with all sorts of deadly shenanigans going on in the background of what basically passes for a sports festival despite a bit of goofiness at the beginning that includes Sistine taking some cues from Mikoto Mikasa I'd rather not see Sistine's attitude towards Glenn slide past mere appreciation but there already seem to be signs of romantic feelings blossoming the series has a very solid arc going right now at the Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians in Rumia three Salesian deacons from the Province of Pila (PLN) were ordained priests by the laying on of hands and consecratory prayer of Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda The lease was signed as part of the ongoing recommercialisation of the centre Other brands to open in the centre include KiK Upside Property purchased the centre together with Galeria Jastrzębie in Jastrzębie Zdrój and Galeria Słupsk from Polimeni International at the beginning of the year All the centres are managed by Upside Property Management tells us about the connection between soil rain and the climate is especially important for a grass-based economy like Ireland's and this has remained constant through the time that I have been here I used to get upset during the rainy season in India and could never romanticise rain as against what is shown in movies around the world that made me fall in love with the rains here is the rainbow that appears after I have probably seen more rainbows in the past three years than in my entire life how many of us care to look at the soil beneath Did you know that soil is regarded as one of the essential climate variables that can provide information about our past and future climate The connection between soils and rains is especially important for a grass-based economy like Ireland's Depending on the amount of rain and the specific characteristics of soil the moisture content of soil changes and this can directly affect the health of a crop Information on soil moisture is crucial for crop management and overall planning This is not just true for Ireland but anywhere around the world since soil moisture drives the need for interventions like irrigation scheduling Information on soil moisture can be obtained through various ways soil moisture would be measured by collecting samples from the field and then taking measurements in the lab Such methods are time consuming and makes sampling of large geographic areas extremely difficult This is where remote sensing technology has proved to be very handy and effective Satellites that revolve around the earth can provide us with information that would otherwise be very difficult to acquire Imagine a field on a hill slope and having to sample the field on a very wet day in Ireland or on a very humid day in the tropics Satellites help cover large geographic areas simultaneously and are also cost-effective Free satellite imagery helps PhD students like me carry out research seamlessly bringing to the forefront important issues and their possible solutions Soil moisture is one such variable that can be studied through remote sensing. The Sentinel suite of sensors launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) have been very instrumental in this regard The Sentinel suite of Sensors provide optical and radar imagery in high spatial and temporal resolutions This means you can look at your field every three to five days and notice any changes in soil moisture taking place from the comfort of your living room Remote sensing data can help measure changes in soil moisture over time and this when combined with in situ data and other meteorological data such as rainfall can help us in knowing about its past and future trends These trends provide important insights about changes in local and global climate Since cloud cover is a major problem in Ireland, it limits the use of optical imagery at times, since optical sensors, like Sentinel 2, cannot penetrate through clouds. However, radar data, like Sentinel 1 can be very useful in such situations since it can see through clouds and can operate even at night There are numerous such optical and radar satellites that make imagery available free of cost for research purposes and have since been instrumental in answering important questions about our surroundings Soil moisture can be monitored effectively using both optical and radar data or a combination of the two. Predictions about soil moisture can help farmers take effective decisions about farm management strategies and achieve higher productivity apart from appreciating the lovely flowers around or that bumble bee on your lavender bush and know what you are holding carries secrets from the past Rumia Basu is a PhD student at Teagasc (VistaMilk) and NUI Galway This article first appeared on RTÉ Brainstorm. https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2022/0915/1323524-satellite-images-soil-monitoring/  Read more: The dark mysteries of the soil beneath our feet A good chunk of this episode involves Re=L getting accustomed to school life, with Rumia and Sistine as her guides and friends. This plays out against a backdrop of ordinary magic school activities, such as magical target practice and a field trip to an island for study at an alchemy facility. The latter conveniently gets used to up a fanservice quotient that's been surprisingly lax for the last few episodes as all the girls don sexy yet tasteful swimsuits Glenn even plays this off as the whole point of the field trip – which naturally makes him a god amongst the male students although Rumia suspects this is his way of keeping the class distanced from military magic as much as possible It looks like the Researchers of Divine Wisdom have other ideas about that as Evil Maid shows up again to imply some dastardly scheme in the works at the end but that's entirely divorced from all the more ordinary activities and frivolity I'm not convinced that putting so much storytelling weight on Re=L was a good idea since she comes across as a stock archetype: the petite combat-focused girl with a one-track mind and social awkwardness ripe to mine for comedy The writing drops hints that there's some issue with her brother in the past vaguely suggesting that she might have transferred emotions toward her brother over to Glenn and there are hints of possibly bigger issues too Albert's caution to Glenn about Re=L being “dangerous” and her emotional near-meltdown near the end of the episode are cause for concern That at least gives some hope that the story will move in an interesting direction in her case the series has shown some ability to step beyond its base elements but that's going to be more difficult for this character the execution in this episode is paint-by-numbers The male protagonist rallies the horny boys while the girls look on with disgust (while disguising what may be purer motives) There's even an opening training session framed as something vastly more sexual the writing is in danger of making Glenn too much of a typical good guy as if it's decided to set aside the “bastard” part of the title but that doesn't mean he can't be a little more of an ass in the process A professional arm wrestler from Abercarn has won a bronze medal at the International Federation of Armwrestling (IFA) World Championships in Rumia finished third in the super heavyweight masters category at the tournament which took place between December 2 and December 6 Known as “The Welsh Wolverine” “No one from Wales has ever won a medal at this competition – I’m the first person from Wales to be at the world championships.” The 43-year-old qualified for the tournament by winning a British Professional Armwrestling title in August 2018 But Bolt admitted that taking up the sport was something he never saw himself doing Bolt did a lot of athletics before moving onto powerlifting He said he sees it as a “natural progression” was one of five members of the UK team at the competition Bolt was able to fund the trip to Poland with sponsorship from Direct Healthcare Group which is based in Western Industrial Estate You must be logged in to post a comment the Salesian Formation Symposium for teachers and educators of schools and educational centers of the Salesian Province of Piła (PLN) was held The symposium was not only to enhance the skills of the participants but also to deepen solidarity in a community of the Salesian Family Among those present were representatives of schools and institutions from Rumia Speakers during the symposium included PLN Provincial Fr Issues related to the legal aspects of modern education were discussed and a theological reflection based on the Rector Major's Strenna 2023 was held the aspect of Salesian education identity with new challenges was presented the topic of innovative pedagogical experiments was addressed encouraging teachers and principals not to be afraid of innovation opportunities and perils of the Internet and the guidelines to be followed to limit its negative effects among young people were presented
