Benefit Street is on the edge of College Hill overlooking Providence and has some of the oldest houses in the City. It's a classy street with a wonderful atmosphere and in the fog one can almost imagine being back in colonial times.

What a splendid day for Pep and I! The benefit was a huge success. Pep was the star, made lots of new friends, saw old friends and family. After 4 hours Pep and I were pretty worn out. But we had a blast. Photo credit by a dear friend.
My Dad is an engineer, really good at planning. The first three kids were born with perfect spacing--precisely 2 years, 8 months and 4 days apart. Then an unexpected reaction to a prescription boosted Mom's fertility, and an unplanned fourth kid came along--"little Robin", ten years younger than myself.
While in the womb, we jokingly referred to her as "Roscoe" (a character on "77 Sunset Strip"). She may have been the result of a busted plan, but she was everyone's favorite family member.
Now--Mom's a little under the weather, and Robin's presence seems like the master gambit in an inspired strategy: why not have an Emergency Room nurse daughter live around the corner in your Golden Years?
Better yet, add the Physician Assistant daughter just down the road. And the icing on the cake?--keep the journalism siblings about a 100 miles north up the freeway.
It's a wonderful irony when the unplanned youngster child is the glue that holds the family together. When I phone and talk to the folks these days, I always end up asking, "well, has Robin dropped by yet today?"
"Oh yes," Mom replies, "what would we do without her?" Indeed. Sometimes the best laid plans go awry, to the benefit of all. Deal!
Villa Romana del Casale - mosaics of about 350 A.D. - Piazza Armerina - province of Enna, Sicily
UNESCO World Heritage Site (1997)
Sappiamo che la Villa del Casale – datata alla metà del IV secolo d.C. – nasce in un luogo già abitato da secoli.
Tra i possibili proprietari si è ipotizzato anche l’imperatore Massimiano o suo figlio Massenzio. Oggi un’ipotesi accreditata è quella di Lucio Aradio Valerio Proculo: uomo politico attivo a Roma in un’epoca che coincide anche con le ipotesi di costruzione della villa.
Molto interessante è la storia della villa nei secoli successivi alla caduta dell’impero Romano d’Occidente. Essa dimostra come la dimora venne abitata nei secoli successivi da nuovi padroni i quali, evidentemente, continuarono ad apprezzare l’arte musiva romana.
Infatti, la Sicilia fu in mano a diversi dominatori barbari (Vandali e Ostrogoti) dalla caduta dell’Impero Romano fino al 535 d.C. quando venne riconquistata dal generale bizantino Belisario. I goti la tennero poi ancora per un biennio (549-551) fino a che non venne riconquistata dai bizantini che la governarono poi fino al IX secolo quando venne invasa dagli arabi.
Sappiamo che in epoca bizantina la villa fu abitata e si giovò anche di restauri. Fu poi abitata anche dagli arabi tanto da assumere il nome di Casale dei Saraceni.
Quando, a metà dell’XI secolo, i normanni conquistarono la Sicilia, anche loro abitarono la Villa del Casale. Nel XII secolo, infine, uno smottamento del Monte Mangone seppellì la villa consentendo che almeno i suoi mosaici giungessero intatti fino a noi.
We know that the Villa del Casale - dated to the mid-fourth century AD - was built in a place already inhabited for centuries.
Among the possible owners it has been hypothesized also the emperor Massimiano or his son Massenzio. Today an accredited hypothesis is that of Lucius Aradio Valerius Proculus: a politician active in Rome in a period that also coincides with the hypothesis of the construction of the villa.
Very interesting is the history of the villa in the centuries following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It shows how the residence was inhabited in the following centuries by new masters who, evidently, continued to appreciate the Roman mosaic art.
In fact, Sicily was in the hands of several barbarian rulers (Vandals and Ostrogoths) from the fall of the Roman Empire until 535 AD when it was reconquered by the Byzantine general Belisarius. The Goths then held it for another two years (549-551) until it was re-conquered by the Byzantines who then governed it until the ninth century when it was invaded by the Arabs.
We know that in Byzantine times the villa was inhabited and also benefited from restoration. It was then inhabited by the Arabs so as to take the name of Casale dei Saraceni.
When, in the middle of the eleventh century, the Normans conquered Sicily, they also inhabited the Villa del Casale. In the twelfth century, finally, a landslide of Mount Mangone buried the villa allowing at least its mosaics came intact to us.
Salmon farming is a hot topic right now. Some say environmental disaster, others say a boost to fragile communities in the countryside. I'm not sure where I stand on it but this raven in Bíldudalur sure benefits from it.

Although it is well known that lemons are good for one's health, there are many benefits which are only now being recognized and taken advantage of. Because of its high level of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), for example, lemons have been known to help out against infections and skin diseases like scurvy; they may also be a potent weapon against cancer.
Among the less-well-known health benefits, however, are the following:
1. A remedy against heartburn?
Because of its high acidity, it may come as a surprise that lemons could possibly help out in the area of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Lemons, however, appear to be good for the digestion, thus helping to relieve many of the symptoms that come with GERD, including indisgetion, bloating, and belching.
2. Relieving hiccups?
Drinking lemon juice may help to treat and help reduce the chances of succumbing to hiccups. The strong sourness of lemons is usually a strong medicine against the involuntary nerve spasms that constitute what we call "hiccups."
3. Dissolving gall, kidney, and pancreatic stones?
Some sources have suggested that lemons may be useful in the fight against stones that develop in the kidneys, gallbladder and the pancreas. Medicine may find this lithotripsy ability useful in the coming years, if this can be further confirmed through clinical studies. Because this remedy carries such low risk factors, however, it may be something people facing these problems may use on a trial basis, preferably by first contacting their physician.
4. Reduction of the phlegm your body produces?
Supposedly because of its natural antiseptic prowess, lemons (which contain, among other things, anti-microbial saponins) may help your body produce less phlegm, possibly by helping to strengthen your immune system.
5. Helping to fade burn scars?
Burns can greatly damage skin cells, often leaving ugly scars behind. By helping to cool and heal damaged skin, however, lemons may reduce the ugliness of said scars.
6. A weight reducer and diuretic?
Much of the weight gain some people experience comes in the form of water retention. Lemons (possibly consumed as lemon juice mixed with warm water and honey) may aid in the fight to keep water retention to a minimum, supposedly by helping the kidneys and the other fluid-management organs to work more efficiently.
7. Strengthening the heart?
Because of its high potassium content, lemons may help to keep the heart healthy and strong. Its cardiovascular benefits may also lie in its ability to keep high blood pressure low.
8. Used as a sedative?
Lemon juice is said to help against dizziness, stress, and depression, ostensibly by helping the body to stay calm and relaxed--especially when consumed in conjunction with other stress-reducing foods (e.g., green tea, honey, yogurt, etc.).
9. Remedy against respiratory problems?
Lemons may help (most probably because of their anti-inflammatory properties) people who suffer from breathing problems such as asthma.
10. An anti-aging supplement?
Lemons may help in the fight against premature aging, most probably because of their anti-oxidant capacity. They can help to prevent and remove wrinkles and blackheads, as well as to keep skin looking healthy, shiny and supple. Among other things, lemons are thought to be able to help the body restore pH balance.
Conclusion
Although for centuries lemons have been known to provide many health benefits, it's only relatively recently that we can to some extent understand why. Simply put, we did not have the technology to pinpoint some of the scientific reasons; what is more interesting, though, is the fact that there may be even more benefits we have yet to identify or discover.Source : Fred Fletcher To know more visit www.yogagurusuneelsingh.com Pic by Rohit Suri
