In autunno le colline piemontesi sono uno stato dell'anima: nebbia azzurrina che cinge i crinali, tenue malinconia a invadere i cuori. Lo sa bene il commissario Bartolomeo Rebaudengo che ha deciso di darci un taglio con omicidi, scene del crimine, tecniche del profiling, e di ritirarsi in Langa. Per quelli come lui, però, non c'è pensione che tenga. E così il poliziotto si ritrova a indagare sulla morte del giovane Dario, scomparso dopo un festino a base di alcol e droghe, e ritrovato cadavere a distanza di alcuni giorni.

Pensieri. Emozioni. Comportamenti. Sono tutti collegati tra loro.

Studia la relazione tra emozioni, pensieri e comportamenti e promuove il miglioramento dell'individuo attraverso il cambiamento dei pensieri, dei comportamenti e delle emozioni disfunzionali.

Il processo che ha portato all'Unità d'Italia è stato lungo e violento. Guerre e rivolte si sono alternate a alleanze di comodo e indigesti trattati di pace. Scambi di territori sono stati spesso legittimati da plebisciti.

No one has ever called Frani Gonzalez squeamish. Seriously, whether it’s guts (no big deal), bugs (move aside, she’s got this), or anything else that you might find at the Central Texas Forensic Anthropology Research Facility, to her and her dad, the university’s body farm is just home. Having bodies buried in her backyard doesn’t exactly make Frani the most popular kid in school, and the imaginary spider that lives in a web in her brain isn’t helping either.

March 25 is the Feast of the Annunciation. On this particular year 1945, it fell on Palm Sunday. This is such an important season in our church. But in those times, during the final days of the war, thoughts were not focused on Palm Sunday, or the Feast of the Annunciation, or even Easter, for that matter. Ida Peerdeman, the woman to whom the virgin Mary chose to come, called it a "hunger winter". Priests would visit private homes, rather than take a chance on Nazi retaliation for trying to perform religious ceremonies, like Mass, especially not in public places, like churches.

St. Thomas Aquinas is so outstanding. The Lord has given him the ability to take very complex matters, such as the differences between animal, human, and angel, and break them down into logical, extremely understandable terms. He was particularly enraptured by angels, as are we. He made a study of them. I have to believe he got a lot of help in his research from the angels themselves, in the form of angelic inspiration, or possibly by a direct line. We pray they will be as kind to us, as we try to explain their culture, and their role in salvation history in general, and in our lives.
