Grim ripening
According to
Der Spiegel the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg will lose his power of veto in an attempt to stop a law legalising euthanasia.
The Luxembourg prime minister, Jean-Claude Junker will propose an amendment to the constitution in order to prevent the Catholic Duke from exercising his powers.
Quoting:
"I understand the Grand Duke's problems of conscience," said Juncker, "but I believe that if the parliament votes in a law, it must be brought into force."

Modular Solar Energy
From
Scientific American. Oerlikon's industrial technology (brand name: micromorph) allows the construction of modular solar panels (1.4sqm, 25Kg) that are more efficient (9% of energy is converted in electricity, up to 95Watt of power) and don't contain toxic or rare elements.
Quoting:
"We're taking … an Intel-inside type of approach," says Chris O'Brien, Oerlikon's marketing chief in North America. "We're able to sell customers a turnkey [assembly] line with guaranteed module performance and throughput at a fixed price."

... And of course
Sancte Michael Arcangele
defende nos in proelio
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli
esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, princeps militiae caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
Divina Virtute in infernum detrude.

Suggestion...
...to my occasional readers.
I have found a very interesting blog written by
Fr. Tiziano Repetto Sj.
If you would like your prayers to be effective against the devil, well you
have to read "
Un esorcista risponde".
The original is in Italian, I have provided the link to the google translation engine that is on the blog itself.
Unmissable, dear readers.
