The British are coming, the British are coming cried Paul Revere. Well, he could hardly have missed them, decked out in their bright red coats.

Radiological emergency plans call for a prompt Alert and Notification system. If needed, this prompt Alert and Notification System will be activated quickly to inform the public of any potential threat from natural or man-made events.

Several Donatists died, and severe punishments were imposed, including executions, which provided the Donatist church with much-revered martyrs. Subsequently, the Donatists called the Catholics Macarians , to emphasise their collaboration with what they saw as imperial persecution.
