Growth was exponential, and Simoncini expanded rapidly beyond France, first conquering the Latin-lover markets of Spain and Italy, then turning toward the colder climes of northern Europe...
...epic is part of the Clay Sanskrit Library, a new series that aims to do for Sanskrit literature what the Loeb Classical Library - publisher of those pocket-sized, green and red volumes found in many a university reading room - has done for Greek and Latin texts over the past century. As such, it's geared more toward lofty specialists and Indiana Joneses than curious general readers.

...Father Eugene and his musical collaborators - his brother Martin O'Hagan, 45, and their childhood friend David Delargy, 44 - the path to stardom seems ordained from above.

Now, a heart attack depends on the imbalance between increased myocardial oxygen demand (i.e., a greater need for oxygen in your heart) and decreased myocardial oxygen supply - or both. And unfortunately, some functions in the first hours of the day require more myocardial oxygen support: waking and commencing physical activities, the peak of the adrenal hormone cortisol [which boosts blood-pressure and blood-sugar levels] and a further increase in blood...
