"... fa trenta-nou anys que el pla de prevenció d’incendis del Parc Natural dels Ports hauria d’estar fet pel decret 78/1986, que estableix que els espais naturals de protecció especial han d’elaborar un pla bàsic de prevenció d’incendis."

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 244.
Richard Verdi's new Thames & Hudson World of Art volume on Velázquez (2023), is great on the art, presenting a chronological discussion of most of the painter's works, but much much weaker on the life & organisation of his studio. So, if you want to assess Velázquez oeuvre then this is the book for you, but if you like artists' biographies then give Verdi's well written but tightly focussed volume a miss.

I am seriously considering taking legal action against the Sharkey Development Team.
I know how often some troll on the internet threatens to "get a lawyer," and we all know how empty those claims usually are.
But I’m not just anyone. I gave $1,000 to support this project based on promises that were never fulfilled — only to be harassed by them. Now they’re violating my privacy and flooding my inbox with junk.
I have both the incentive and the motivation to move forward with this.

It is not the money I want. It is the principle. If I can prevent anyone else from going through this, it will have been worth it. Furthermore, some of these issues are criminal issues, not civil.

Der Terminator hat ein skelettartiges Aussehen mit roten Augen und mechanischen Teilen. Im Hintergrund ist eine zerstörte Stadt mit brennenden Gebäuden und Rauch zu sehen. Der Mann lächelt und scheint glücklich zu sein, während er sich mit dem Terminator ablichtet. Das Bild hat einen Polaroid-Effekt mit einem weißen Rahmen.

The image shows a close-up of a branch from a plant bearing clusters of berries. The branch is adorned with green leaves that have visible veins and serrated edges. The berries are round and vary in color, with some appearing green and others a deep red, indicating different stages of ripeness. The background is slightly blurred, showing a fence and some greenery, suggesting an outdoor setting. The lighting is natural, highlighting the textures of the leaves and the glossy surface of the berries.
