Larry - Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office -  Official resident cat of the Prime Minister David Cameron -  10 Downing St.

He now shares the job with Freya, a cat owned by George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who also lives on Downing St. Larry still holds the title but is not the best mouser and quite lazy. Only one other cat has held this title.

Sealed with a kiss

This discovery about a secret Viking message is special - and will put a big smile on your face. For years researchers have tried to crack a Viking rune alphabet known as Jötunvillur. It is found in some 80 inscriptions, including the one above, which dates from the 11th or 12th century. Recently the news broke that a runologist in Norway was successful. It turns out that you had to replace the rune character with the last letter of the sound it produced. So the rune for “f”, which was pronounced like “fe”, represented an “e”. And so researchers were able to decode the 900-year-old message on the piece of wood above, which turned out to be - wait for it… - “Kiss me”! It gets better, however. It turns out that coding and decoding such messages was a playful game, a leisure activity. This is clear from the fact that some of the inscriptions invite the reader to solve the code, stating for example “Interpret these runes.” This, of course, makes the discovery of the “Kiss me” message even more sensational. The kiss was no doubt the reward for the successful individual who cracked this particular message. Two Viking lovers entertaining themselves with a playful coding game - that came with a delightful climax. Awesome.

More information: this Norwegian article originally reported the story, which is also the source of the image (made by Jonas Nordby, the researcher who cracked the code). I picked up the story from the invaluable Medievalists blog (here).

Natália do Vale será a mãe da protagonista Helena em nova novela de Manoel Carlos (Foto: Divulgação/Globo)

Natália do Vale não fala em público, claro, mas ela está incomodadíssima com o fato de ser a mãe da personagem da atriz Júlia Lemmertz (que tem 50 anos), na novela Em Família.

Ela não vai admitir isso nunca, mas quem convive nos bastidores afirma que a atriz não gosta muito de falar no assunto.

Natália, que é uma mulher bonita e inteirona, tem bastante botox, mas não ficou plastificada como umas e outras, outro dia se irritou com perguntas de jornalistas sobre esse lance da idade.

Que bobagem. Não precisa fazer a Glória Maria, né?
