#Terrorists: What does the agreement say?

In their declaration on migration, the 28 EU leaders said: "A key element of a sustainable migration policy is to ensure effective control of our external border and stem illegal flows into the EU."

The plan includes:

Increased training and equipment for the Libyan coastguard
Stepped up efforts to block smuggling routes
Better conditions for migrants at Libyan reception centres
More EU involvement with countries near Libya to slow the influx
Supporting local communities on migration routes and in coastal areas to improve their socio-economic situation

The declaration says the EU remains committed to an earlier deal with Turkeywhich came into force last March and resulted in a sharp reduction of migrants travelling to northern Europe from Syria via the Balkans.

However, analysts say a similar result is unlikely in the immediate term in the central Mediterranean because of the continuing instability in Libya.

They warn that reliable partners in Libya are hard to find and that shutting existing routes might simply lead to the opening of new ones.

#Healthwire: Castor oil.

Another possible solution to your wart problem is to rub castor oil on the wart. The oil can help moisturize the skin until the wart breaks apart and disappears.

Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.

#Religion: Congratulations, American “missionaries.” This is the fruit of your heresy in Chiapas.

The unifying theme between both of these stories is the propagation of heresy. Heresy throughout Christian history is traditionally punished severely because it propagates false ideas about the nature of God and His revelation. I speak not of mere disciplinary disagreements, or cases when charges of heresy were falsely used to silence public criticism since both are sins and there are many examples of people abusing this for their own ends. What I speak of are clear cases of heresy, such as Arianism. Arianism is the heresy that Jesus is a superman but not God. Spread originally by the Libyan priest Arius, his heresy infected 75% of all Christians and 80% of bishops. Coming at the dawn of the 4th century, Arius’ teaching endured for centuries after his death and provided the basis for Islamic theology’s denial of Jesus’ divinity. Arius the heretic being devoured in hell while Melchizedek the righteous looks on. But if he were alive today, Melchizedek would be called an “intoleran...
