Ursula von der Leyen compares the shock of de-linking the U.S. dollar from gold and the new "global order" it created as a lesson "that geopolitical shocks can and must serve as an opportunity... the seismic change we are going through today is an opportunity."

Wikimedia Commons, DarwinPeacock, Maklaan.CC-BY-3.0 British police forces are planning to trial Artificial Intelligence schemes to predict and target potential criminals before an offence has been committed. Sir Andy Marsh, the head of the College of Policing, which sets and maintains national standards, said that there are currently around 100 projects in which Artificial Intelligence is being trialled by police forces across the country, including to reduce manpower hours spent on menial tasks such as paperwork. However, the initiative also includes “predictive analytics” schemes to target supposedly future criminals before they commit a crime, in what has been likened to the 1956 sci-fi classic novel The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick — later adapted to film in 2002 by Stephen …
January 19 Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum. by irapuato on January 19, 2014 Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum[1] (died 270) were, according to their largely legendary passio of the 6th century, four saints of the same family (a husband, his wife, and their two sons). They came from Persia to Rome, and were martyred in 270 for sympathizing with and burying the bodies of Christians. Some ancient martyrologies place the date of their death between 268 to 270, during the reign of Claudius II, although there was no persecution of Christians during this time.[2] Their story states that the family's assistance to the Christians exposed them to persecution. They were seized and delivered to the judge Muscianus or Marcianus, who, unable to persuade them to abjure their faith, condemned them to various tortures. Despite the torture, the saints refused to abjure. Maris and his two sons were thus beheaded on the Via Cornelia, and their bodies were burnt. Martha …Дагы
The lights are on in the Apostolic Palace — but is the Pope at home? Fr. Andrew Khoo published on social media a photo of the Apostolic Palace, Vatican, yesterday afternoon showing that the lights were on in the papal apartments. Rumours have since spread that “Pope Leo is finally home.” The lights could also have been from staff carrying out maintenance or other work there. On Tuesdays, Leo XIV is usually in Castel Gandolfo.
The lights are now on in the Papal Apartments of the Apostolic! It looks like Pope Leo is finally home!! [: Fr. Andrew Khoo]
She was the most famous child in the world at age six—but what her mother did to her hair every single night for years will break your heart. February 27, 1935. A six-year-old girl in a party dress sat through hours of the Academy Awards ceremony, watching adults collect gold statues. When they finally called her name, Shirley Temple walked to the stage and received something no other child ever had: a miniature Oscar, made specially because she was too small for a regular one. She thanked them politely. Then she turned to her mother with the question every exhausted six-year-old would ask: "Mommy, can I go home now?" What the audience didn't know was that this little girl had been working since she was three years old. She could smile on command, cry on cue, and tap dance up a flight of stairs without missing a beat. But she was still just a child who wanted to go to bed. Behind those famous blonde curls was work nobody saw. Every single night, her mother sat with bobby pins and patience …Дагы
Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman shares with Bill Maher a surprising trick to help you fall back asleep when you wake up in the middle of the night. “I can’t promise, but I’m willing to wager… that within five minutes or so, you’ll be back to sleep.”
“This audience also provided an opportunity to evoke any misunderstandings and obstacles that the Fraternity encounters in certain places and to answer questions from the Supreme Pontiff.”
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) has published a communiqué following the private audience granted by Pope Leo XIV to Fr. John Berg at the Vatican on Monday. Fr. Berg was accompanied by Fr. Josef Bisig, one of the founders of the Fraternity, former Superior General, and current Rector of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, USA. The communiqué.

Archbishop Paglia Distances Himself from Bishop's Bell for the Unborn Children: Bishop Antonio Suetta, 63, of Ventimiglia–Sanremo, Italy, installed a “Bell for the Unborn Children” in the diocesan bell tower in Sanremo on December 28. It rings every evening at 20:00 as a reminder of children killed by abortion. Bishop Suetta was fiercely attacked by the media and left-wing parties. He clarified that the bell’s purpose is to foster prayerful remembrance and respect for life. Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, 80, former president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, publicly distanced himself from the initiative when asked about it at a conference in Sanremo. He said that he had preferred bells for the elderly and for 'fraternity' over Bishop Suetta's bell.
L'ex presidente della Pontificia Accademia per la Vita va a Sanremo e prende le distanze dall'iniziativa della "Campana dei bambini non nati" presa dal vescovo Suetta. Scandaloso ma non sorprendente visti i precedenti. Ma gli altri vescovi da che parte stanno? Riccardo Cascioli
Leavitt Threat Leaked nytimes.com/…01/17/business/media/cbs-news- … CBS is defending its "editorial independence" after a chilling threat from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to MAGA-coded anchor Tony Dokoupil was revealed in a leaked recording. In a statement to the New York Times on Sunday, CBS News forcefully pushed back against what critics have pointed to as evidence of the network bowing to pressure from the Trump administration. “The moment we booked this interview, we made the independent decision to air it unedited and in its entirety,” CBS News said. After the newly installed CBS Evening News anchor concluded a taped interview with President Donald Trump in January, Leavitt approached the CBS News crew with a warning, according to a recording obtained by the New York Times. “He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,’” Leavitt said. “Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil responded. Leavitt then took it a …Дагы
ICE AGENTS FORCED TO BEHAVE AS DECENT PEOPLE BEFORE THE BLACK PANTHERS, THEY CAN DO THEIR JOB AS DECENT AGENTS NOT THE DIRTY JOB THEY ARE DOING AS MOBS AND MERCENARIES AND ASSASSINS. NO MORE GOING AFTER INNOCENT PEOPLE, STOP BEHAVING LIKE CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS. A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH BY BLACK PANTHERS TO KEEP LAW AND ORDER UNDER AN ANARCHY GOVERNMENT.
Demotivated, tired due to the complicated relationship with the curial leadership, and often even mobbed: the Pope's employees wish to work in a more transparent system where meritocracy is rewarded. The picture that emerges from the first representative survey conducted among those working in the offices across the Tiber between September 15 and January 7 reveals a complex and disheartening situation, as repeatedly denounced by the Adlv – a sort of internal union – although always sidelined, reaching high points of friction under Pope Francis's pontificate. However, the arrival of Pope Leo has given some hope, as he immediately addressed the Labor Tribunal – Ulsa –, authorized the payment of the conclave bonus, which had been abolished, and offered reassurances on a shared path...
I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time, and better late than never. I encourage NLM readers to check out the initiative called the “Latin Mass Project,” which has a website as beautiful as its subject deserves. Their flagship publication, the first of many to come, is Ad Altare Dei: Pew Edition. This book contains the full texts of the Mass in Latin and English, explanations of those parts of the Mass which vary throughout the year, and clearly-marked rubrics. There are also boxes containing commentary on the gestures, prayers, and objects found within the Mass. The first edition having sold out, a second edition was prepared with several improvements: gold foil cover detail, gilded edges, sturdier hardcover binding, and a ribbon, among other touches. Each page features full-color photos taken at Old St. Patrick Oratory, the Institute’s apostolate in Kansas City, MO. Acclaimed by children and adults alike, this book is intended to be a beautiful, durable, and practical …
Gloria.TV, a Catholic video-sharing platform, shows no widespread reports of JPEG display issues or editor malfunctions as of January 2026. Common causes for such problems often stem from client-side factors like file format incompatibilities, such as using .jpeg instead of .jpg extensions or progressive JPEG compression not fully supported by the site. No official announcements from site owners or admins address these specific issues recently. Possible Causes File naming or type mismatch: Sites like Gloria.TV may only process standard .jpg files; renaming .jpeg to .jpg resolves display problems in similar cases. Browser or cache problems: Outdated browsers, corrupted cache, or extensions can prevent images and editors from loading properly. Local device issues: High-resolution files, corruption, or OS-specific photo app glitches (e.g., Windows Photos) block JPEG rendering. Troubleshooting Steps Rename files to .jpg and ensure baseline (not progressive) JPEG compression before …Дагы
Since it appears all the upload images are .avif format, one last clue (then I'm done "sleuthing" - but since I haven't been on the site for awhile, maybe all these possibilities hae already been visited): It could be a server setting, either intentional or just part of a server protocol update. You could try using a file format converter to convert a file from .jpg/.jpeg format to .avif format before uploading. AI: QUESTION: Why would a website be able to upload a .avif file but not a .jpg/.jpeg file? A website might allow AVIF uploads but block JPEG uploads because it's optimized for modern formats, offering superior compression (smaller files, faster loads) and better quality (HDR, wide color), with server-side conversions often turning JPEGs into AVIFs automatically for performance, though an upload block usually signals server-side rules or plugin settings forcing new images to the newer, more efficient format for better site speed and reduced hosting costs, notes Webmasters …Дагы
ANOTHER CLUE! It may be a royalty-free/rights issue. I saw another image posted on Gloria.tv with no trouble, and when I download the image I found that it was a .avif format, which is royalty-free, one-time purchase or unlimited license, etc. option. When I changed the extension on the same image I posted before to .avif, it went through a preliminary upload process this time (which didn't happen before) then declined to post it since it wasn't a bonafide royalty-free image. They must digitally watermark them. PERHAPS it's a publishing rights issue. Perhaps Gloria.tv was getting in trouble for allowing people to post images people had no rights to and/or which are not public domain. I believe that may be the issue....possibly. OR....Just a file size issue, as .avif files are much smaller. AI: AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern, open-source image format that offers superior compression, delivering higher quality images at significantly smaller file sizes than older formats like …Дагы
