"The Emergence of Developmental Psychopathology" (1984), by Dante Cicchetti
In 1984, Dante Cicchetti published "The Emergence of Developmental Psychopathology," an article in which he argued that the previously amorphous study of developmental psychopathology was emerging as a unified discipline. According to Cicchetti, developmental psychopathology describes an interdisciplinary field that studies abnormalities in psychological function that can arise during human development.

Paretta v. Medical Offices for Human Reproduction [Brief] (2003)
The court decided a child of in vitro fertilization born with cystic fibrosis does not have the right to sue for wrongful life even in the presence of demonstrable acts of medical negligence because to allow such a case would grant the IVF child rights not possessed by naturally born children. The decision in Paretta has not been publicly tested in other jurisdictions.
Walter Stanborough Sutton (1877-1916)
Walter Stanborough Sutton studied grasshoppers and connected the phenomena of meiosis, segregation, and independent assortment with the chromosomal theory of inheritance in the early twentieth century in the US. Sutton researched chromosomes, then called inheritance mechanisms. He confirmed a theory of Wilhelm Roux, who studied embryos in Breslau, Germany, in the late 1880s, who had argued that chromosomes and heredity were linked. Theodor Boveri, working in Munich, Germany, independently reached similar conclusions about heredity as Sutton.
Leo Loeb (1869-1959)
Leo Loeb developed an experimental approach to studying cancer and pioneered techniques for tissue culture and in vitro tissue transplantation which impacted early-to-mid twentieth century experimental embryology. Loeb received his medical degree from the University of Zurich in 1897. As part of his doctorate, he completed a thesis on the outcomes of tissue transplantation in guinea pigs. Loeb's thesis inspired a life-long interest in tissue transplantation.
VACTERL association is a term applied to a specific group of abnormalities involving structures derived from the mesoderm. Although the defects of this disorder are clearly linked, VACTERL is called an association rather than a syndrome because the exact genetic cause is unknown. "VACTERL" is an acronym, each letter standing for one of the defects associated with the condition: V for vertebral anomalies, A for anal atresia, C for cardiovascular anomalies, T for tracheoesophageal fistula, E for esophageal atresia, R for renal anomalies, and L for limb defects.

The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering (2007), by Michael J. Sandel
The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering, hereafter referred to as The Case against Perfection, written by Michael J. Sandel, builds on a short essay featured in The Atlantic Monthly magazine in 2004. Three years later, Sandel transformed his article into a book, keeping the same title but expanding upon his personal critique of genetic engineering. The purpose of Sandel's book is to articulate the sources of what he considers to be widespread public unease related to genetic engineering that changes the course of natural development.

Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921-2011)
Rosalyn Sussman Yalow co-developed the radioimmunoassay (RIA), a method used to measure minute biological compounds that cause immune systems to produce antibodies. Yalow and research partner Solomon A. Berson developed the RIA in the early 1950s at the Bronx Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, in New York City, New York. Yalow and Berson's methods expanded scientific research, particularly in the medical field, and contributed to medical diagnostics. For this achievement, Yalow received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1977.
"Relationship between Ultrasound Viewing and Proceeding to Abortion" (2014), by Mary Gatter, Katrina Kimport, Diana Greene Foster, Tracy A. Weitz, and Ushma D. Upadhyay
In January 2014, Mary Gatter and colleagues published "Relationship between Ultrasound Viewing and Proceeding to Abortion" in Obstetrics and Gynecology hereafter "Ultrasound Viewing." As of 2021, ten states require women to undergo an ultrasound before they may consent to having an abortion. Self-described pro-life organizations assert that viewing an image of the fetus will dissuade women from having an abortion.

"Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact" (1943), by Leo Kanner
Leo Kanner published Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact in 1943 in the journal Nervous Child. This article described the cases of eleven children with autism. Kanner described the behavior and upbringing of each child, aged two to eight, as well as the educational backgrounds of the children's.
Ephraim McDowell (1771-1830)
Ephraim McDowell was an US abdominal surgeon who in 1809 performed one of the first successful ovarian surgeries. McDowell conducted his medical practice in Danville, Kentucky, where he used novel methods of ovariotomy to remove a twenty-two and a half pound ovarian tumor from his patient, Jane Crawford. At the time, surgeons performed ovariotomies by making an incision into each patient's ovary to remove a mass. However, their patients often died from infection or blood loss.
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that enables the viewing and biopsy of, and surgery on, internal tissues and organs. Endoscopic examinations are characterized by the introduction of a tube containing a series of lenses into the body through either an incision in the skin or a natural opening or cavity. During the mid-twentieth century, photographer Lennart Nilsson used endoscopes to capture the now-familiar images of embryos and fetuses.

Anatomia Uteri Humani Gravidi Tabulis Illustrata (The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures) (1774), by William Hunter
William Hunter's Anatomia Uteri Humani Gravidi Tabulis Illustrata (The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures), hereafter called The Human Gravid Uterus, is an anatomical atlas depicting the pregnant form through both engravings and descriptions. William Hunter, an anatomist working in England during the eighteenth century, compiled the work based on observations from his dissections of pregnant women.
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer in Mammals (1938-2013)
In the second half of the
twentieth century, scientists learned how to clone organisms in some
species of mammals. Scientists have applied somatic cell nuclear transfer to clone human and
mammalian embryos as a means to produce stem cells for laboratory
and medical use. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technology applied in cloning, stem cell
research and regenerative medicine. Somatic cells are cells that
have gone through the differentiation process and are not germ
cells. Somatic cells donate their nuclei, which scientists

Texas Medical Providers Performing Abortion Services v. Lakey (2012)
In the 2012 case Texas Medical Providers Performing Abortion Services v. David Lakey, a US appeals court ruled as constitutional a Texas law that required abortion providers in the state to show women receiving abortions the ultrasound images of their fetuses. The law also required providers to describe the sounds of the fetuses' nascent hearts. In doing so, the court set precedent that ultrasound readings are necessary medical information for pregnant women seeking abortions, increasing the wait-period for women seeking abortions.

"Risks and Benefits of Estrogen Plus Progestin in Healthy, Postmenopausal Women: Principal Results from the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Trial" (2002), by Jacques Rossouw et al.
In 2002, the Writing Group for the Women's Health Initiative Investigators published the article Risks and Benefits of Estrogen Plus Progestin in Healthy, Postmenopausal Women: Principal Results from the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Trial in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
Better Babies Contests in the United States (1908–1916)
Better babies contests were competitions held in state fairs throughout the US during the early twentieth century in which babies between the ages of 6 and 48 months were judged for their health. In 1908, social activist Mary de Garmo established and held the first better babies contest at the Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport, Louisiana. The contests, mirroring theories established in the US's eugenics movement of the twentieth century, aimed to establish standards for judging infant health.

The Galton Society for the Study of the Origin and Evolution of Man (1918–1935)
Charles Benedict Davenport, Madison Grant, and Henry Fairfield Osborn founded the Galton Society for the Study of the Origin and Evolution of Man, or the Galton Society, in New York City, New York, in 1918. The Galton Society was a scientific society that promoted the study of humans in terms of race in service to the US eugenics movement. The Galton Society was named in honor of Francis Galton who first coined the term eugenics in 1883. Galton and other eugenics proponents claimed that the human species could improve through selective breeding that restricted who could have children.

Julia Bell (1879-1979)
Julia Bell worked in twentieth-century Britain, discovered Fragile X Syndrome, and helped find heritable elements of other developmental and genetic disorders. Bell also wrote much of the five volume Treasury of Human Inheritance, a collection about genetics and genetic disorders. Bell researched until late in life, authoring an original research article on the effects of the rubella virus of fetal development (Congenital Rubella Syndrome) at the age of 80.
Luc Antoine Montagnier (1932-2022)
Luc Montagnier studied viruses, the immune system, and cancer in France during the second half of the twentieth century. In his early career, Montagnier studied how cancer-causing viruses replicate and infect host cells. He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2008 for his team's discovery that a retrovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, was the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS. AIDS is a chronic condition that results from HIV infection and damages the immune system.

"Safety and Immunogenicity of Tdap Immunization During Pregnancy in Mothers and Infants" (2014), by Flor M. Munoz et al
In 2014, Flor M. Munoz and colleagues published "Safety and Immunogenicity of Tetanus Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis (Tdap) Immunization During Pregnancy in Mothers and Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial," hereafter "Tdap Immunization During Pregnancy," in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The authors conducted a study to determine how Tdap immunization affected the mother and infant's immune response to the common childhood diseases tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. They found that Tdap immunization did not lead to an increased risk of adverse health events.

The Informed Consent Project
In 2013, Cynthia Daniels and a team of researchers at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, founded the Informed Consent Project. Daniels and the researchers assessed the medical accuracy of information within state-authored informational materials for abortion. States give those materials to women who want an abortion, but using their research, the Informed Consent Project found some information from those materials to be inaccurate, misleading, and coercive.
David Wildt's Domestic Cat and Cheetah Experiments (1978-1983)
David Wildt's cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) research from 1978-1983 became the foundation for the use of embryological techniques in endangered species breeding programs. The cheetah is a member of the cat family (Felidae), which includes thirty-seven species. According to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) all Felidae species are currently threatened or endangered, with the exception of the domestic cat (Felinus catus).
Edwin Carlyle (Carl) Wood (1929–2011)
Edwin Carlyle Wood, also known as Carl Wood, was a physician who helped develop in vitro fertilization, or IVF, treatments. From 1964 to 1992, Wood worked as a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, where he was one of the first in the world to lead a team of physicians to establish IVF as a proven treatment for infertility. IVF refers to a medical procedure in which scientists inseminate an egg cell with a sperm cell outside of the body, such as in a glass dish in a clinical setting.

Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (1993)
In its 1993 decision Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the US Supreme Court established the Daubert Standard for evaluating the admissibility of scientific knowledge as evidence in US federal courts. When it began in trial court, the case addressed whether or not Bendectin, an anti-nausea medication taken during pregnancy, caused birth defects. However, after the trial court dismissed the case for lack of admissible evidence, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Apparently fearing an attack, Iran has begun deploying the Russian-made S-300 air defense system around its underground Fordo nuclear facility.
Video footage posted late Sunday by Iranian state TV showed trucks with missile launchers arriving at the Fordo nuclear facility.
The large, underground facility, built at a depth of 90 meters (300 feet) underneath a mountain, is located some 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital, Tehran. The site was exposed by Western nations in 2009.
Russia began delivering the missile defense system to Iran earlier this year under a contract signed in 2007. The delivery was postponed due to international sanctions over Iran's nuclear program, which were lifted this year as part of the nuclear deal with the P5+1 world powers.
"The S-300 air defense system is a defensive instrument, not offensive," Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday.
Critics of Iran's nuclear program believe Fordo is further proof that Tehran intends to secretly develop nuclear weapons. Iran continues to deny that it seeks to develop nuclear arms, and says the missile defenses placed around the site are intended to protect it from US or Israeli airstrikes.
Iran stopped nuclear enrichment at Fordo under the landmark nuclear agreement and claims that the facility is now used only for research and the production of medical isotopes.

Список экраниза́ций произведе́ний Михаила Булгакова — выстроенный в хронологическом порядке перечень экранных воплощений произведений Михаила Булгакова.

Исследователи выделяют хронологический порядок экранизаций, экранизации по определённому произведению (чаще всего речь идёт о романе «Мастер и Маргарита» или в выделенном географическом/культурном регионе (например в Западной Европе). Краткий перечень экранизаций проявляется при изучении формы экранизаций (ТВ, кино, игры и пр.), культурологического кода булгаковского авторского мира (кандидатская диссертация и монография А. В. Тарасова «Кинематограф М. А. Булгакова», статья Н. Б. Кирилловой 2016 года).

Культурологи А. В. Тарасов, Н. Б. Кириллова, Н. З. Кольцова рассматривают экранизации булгаковских произведений как «диалог культур» книга-кино (а также и наоборот, кинематографичность работ Булгакова), как перевод языка художественного произведения (выраженной в визуальной или звуковой форме) на другой, кинематографический (аудиовизуальный).

Q: Jenkins Swarm plugin authentication I have a jenkins master and a separate slave server. I using swarm plugin to connect the slaves to the master. Everything works fine before I configured LDAP authetication and revoke the grants from the anonymous user.

Obviously now I have to autheticate swarm client but I cannot able to do this.
If anyone has experience with swarm plugin please let me know.
Console from slave machine:
$ java -jar swarm-client-2-0.jar -master http://x.x.x.x:8080/ -username 'exxxx' -password common.pwd
Discovering Jenkins master
Oct 01, 2015 2:14:51 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme
INFO: basic authentication scheme selected
Oct 01, 2015 2:14:51 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector processWWWAuthChallenge
INFO: Failure authenticating with BASIC 'Jenkins'@x.x.x.x:8080
Failed to fetch slave info from Jenkins CODE: 401
Retrying in 10 seconds

Br,

A: You need at least Create Slave permission or higher to create the slave using Swarm plugin.
You have the following options:

*

*Open a request and have your network team create a new LDAP/service account (generic) so that you don't have to worry about it's password getting changed within next N no. of days.

*Assign that user or grant it Create Slave permission or all access that see within (Slave section as per your image snapshot).

*Use that user's userid/password. You can create a global variable / use manage credential section in Jenkins to define the user/password and it'll be available to use an ENV variable or for doing credential based authentication.

*Run your command to create the slave and it'll work, something like:

$ java -jar swarm-client-2.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
    -name "$(hostname -a)_01" \
    -fsroot "$(pwd)/$(hostname -a)_01" \
    -master http://my_jenkins_server.my.company.com:8081 \
    -disableSslVerification \
    -username c123456_or_slaveSpecialUser \
    -password $p \
    -description "$(hostname -a) " \
    -executors 5 \
    -labels "Linux CentOS ANSIBLE" \
    -mode 'normal' \
    -retry 3 \
    -showHostName \
    -t java=~/tools/jdk1.8.0_45 \
    -t gradle=~/tools/gradle-2.9 \
    -t Maven=~/tools/apache-maven-3.3.3 \
    -t Groovy2=~/tools/groovy-2.4.5 \
    --showHostName \
    -disableClientsUniqueId

Note:
Mode can be -mode 'exclusive'
Using -disableClientsUniqueId option will create slave with the name as per your -name parameter (instead of suffixing it with a unique/alphanumeric ID).
Addition: To create Tool locations within the slave's configuration, I initially used -t **Java=~/tools/jdk1.8.0_45 -t Gradle=~/tools/gradle-2.9** and the command gave me an error No tool 'Java' is defined on Jenkins.

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.RuntimeException: No tool 'Java' is defined on Jenkins.

After researching, I found this is because in my Jenkins Master (that I used), it's JDK Installations section in Jenkins global settings had this tool Name value set as "java" (all lower).
Trying -t java=~/tools/jdk1.8.0_45 resolved the issue and now I can see (JDK) java tool with value ~/tools/jdk1.8.0_45 in the slave's configuration.
NOTE:
If you are connecting or want to connect your slave to your Jenkins master using "Anonymous" user (i.e. then you don't have to provide -username c123456_or_slaveSpecialUser -password $p parameters), then in Jenkins Master's (with admin level permission do this one time only setup) > Under Manage Roles and Users > Under GLOBAL Roles section, create a role (or change existing Viewer role) and assign "Overall + Read" and "Slave + Create" access.
Then, on the same page, under "Slave Roles", create a Role for ex: autoslave or something like that and assign all access (Connect, Configure, ..., Delete) and MAKE sure assign a pattern(regex) for ex: "swarm_slave.*" in it. What this will do is, from now onwards, you can run java -jar slave-client-...depedencies.jar without using -username and -password paramters and if you are creating swarm slaves with name starting with "swarm_slave...." then, they will auto-create/connect/delete (as long as the swarm slave java process will run/exist on the slave server).
Following a standard name pattern for slaves will also give you more control if you'd use Jenkins Rest/API (groovy) scripts to maintain the swarm slaves.
Also look here for more (how to add ENVIRONMENT variables to the newly created node): Jenkins Slave - How to add or update ENVIRONMENT variables
Using Docker for creating containers on slave nodes is the next step. Don't forget to read more about these here:
http://dockins.github.io/
and
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Docker+Slaves+Plugin
https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-slaves-plugin

A: After we failed implementing the solution by Arun Sangal we found a way to allow everything to everyone when being logged in while still being able to use SWARM nodes.
We managed to do this by assinging Anonymous all "agent" rights, plus Read and Discover for jobs as well as Read for views and in general.
Then we created an additional role "admin" which has all rights (both in "Manage Roles").
In "Assign Roles" we assigned the admin role to the build-in group "authenticated" and "Anonymous" to "Anonymous".

Home All Articles Ozil quits Germany side after World Cup debacle
Ozil quits Germany side after World Cup debacle
Arsenal midfielder and German football star Mesut Ozil has announced he will no longer play for the national team because of what he called the German federation and media's racist campaign against him.
Mesut Ozil said on Sunday he was quitting the German national football team, citing "racism" in the criticism of him in the side's World Cup debacle.
"It is with a heavy heart and after much consideration that because of recent events, I will no longer be playing for Germany at international level whilst I have this feeling of racism and disrespect," he tweeted.
In a three-part statement on Twitter sent over the course of the day, an angry Ozil saved his bombshell for the final salvo.
In it, the Arsenal midfielder blamed the German Football Federation (DFB) for failing to defend him against his most strident critics.
"Arguably the issue that has frustrated me the most over the past couple of months has been the mistreatment from the DFB, and in particular the DFB President Richard Grindel," he said.
Earlier, Ozil said he had no regrets about his photograph with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that sparked questions about his loyalty to Germany's national squad ahead of the World Cup.
Breaking his silence over the snapshot that caused outrage during the tournament, the Arsenal midfielder said in a statement on Twitter that he was true to both his Turkish and German origins and insisted he did not intend to make a political statement.
"Like many people, my ancestry traces back to more than one country. Whilst I grew up in Germany, my family background has its roots firmly based in Turkey," he said.
"I have two hearts, one German and one Turkish."
View image on Twitter
✔@MesutOzil1088
The past couple of weeks have given me time to reflect, and time to think over the events of the last few months. Consequently, I want to share my thoughts and feelings about what has happened.
Ozil, 29, said he had first met Erdogan in 2010 after the president and German Chancellor Angela Merkel watched a Germany-Turkey match together in Berlin.
"Since then, our paths have crossed a lot of times around the globe," he said.
"I'm aware that the picture of us caused a huge response in the German media, and whilst some people may accuse me of lying or being deceitful, the picture we took had no political intentions."
'Not about politics'
Ozil said that despite the timing of the picture with teammate Ilkay Gundogan and Erdogan — shortly before the president won re-election — "it wasn't about politics or elections, it was about me respecting the highest office of my family's country".
"My job is a football player and not a politician, and our meeting was not an endorsement of any policies," Ozil said.
"I get that this may be hard to understand, as in most cultures the political leader cannot be thought of as being separate from the person. But in this case it is different. Whatever the outcome would've been in this previous election, or the election before that, I would have still taken the picture."
Germany is home to more than three million people of Turkish origin.
Ozil and Gundogan, who both have Turkish roots, were booed by German fans in pre-World Cup friendlies after posing with Erdogan in May in London.
Manchester City midfielder Gundogan presented him with a signed club shirt on which he had written "to my president".
After the tournament, Ozil came in for stinging criticism in Germany for the side's shock first-round defeat at the World Cup.
Team boss Oliver Bierhoff suggested after the debacle that Germany should have considered dropping Ozil after his failure to explain himself over the Erdogan picture.
Bierhoff later backtracked, saying that he "was wrong" to put Ozil under undue pressure, but the picture continued to draw scorn from fans on social media.
'Right-wing propaganda'
Ozil said he could abide criticism of his performance on the pitch but not when it was linked to his ethnic background.
"If a newspaper or pundit finds fault in a game I play in, then I can accept this," he said.
"But what I can't accept are German media outlets repeatedly blaming my dual-heritage and a simple picture for a bad World Cup on behalf of an entire squad," he added, calling it "right-wing propaganda".
"This crosses a personal line that should never be crossed, as newspapers try to turn the nation of Germany against me."

Fighting for You – Meet our Determined Attorney, Lisanne Edelman
Published on: May 16, 2019 | by Don Turner Legal Team
Lisanne Edelman has wanted to be a lawyer since she was 12 years old. Her growing interest in shows like "Law & Order" signaled that a career in prosecution may be in the cards, but her first criminal law class at John Marshall Law School shifted her focus.
Students were tasked with researching and presenting a particular case from the Innocence Project. To this day, Lisanne can remember the case she chose. In 1999, Clarence Elkins was convicted of the murder of his mother-in-law, Judith, and the assault of his 6-year-old niece. Clarence maintained his innocence, but his niece's testimony that the intruder looked like her uncle sealed his fate. In 2002, his niece officially recanted her claim, and Clarence was ultimately freed in 2005 based on an alibi witness and a DNA hit off a cigarette butt Clarence collected from a fellow inmate — who was ultimately found guilty of the attacks.
"That triggered something in me," Lisanne recalls about this case.
"If the defense attorney had explored this [alibi witness] avenue, he could have avoided X amount of years in prison … It really is a system of checks and balances."
Since joining Don Turner Legal Team as an intern in October 2016, Lisanne has continued to develop her passion for helping others facing legal charges. Lisanne passed the bar exam in October 2017 and assumed full attorney duties. In her tenure, she has been instrumental in getting clients' charges reduced or dismissed, including this past spring, when she had a very successful run of
Lisanne continues to work with our local justice system to help her clients avoid life-altering consequences for their perceived mistakes. "It's been a really amazing feeling to help clients avoid felony convictions because of the fight we've put up," Lisanne says, later adding how excited she is to continue advancing her education. "I sense that I'm very hungry for more," Lisanne says. When she isn't fighting for her clients, Lisanne can be found attending Major League Soccer's Atlanta United FC games with her family, or enjoying a local brewery with friends. Having immigrated from the Netherlands when she was 9 years old, Lisanne remains close to her family and regularly ventures back to Europe.
We are incredibly proud of Lisanne, and we are grateful to have her on our team. Keep up the great work, Lisanne!

Attack on democracy in Brazil direct result of extreme nationalism
TOPICS:Canadainternational affairspoliticsSocial Issue
By Braden Bristow | Image by Dallin Chicoine January 17, 2023
Supporters of former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro raided Brazil's National Congress,
Supreme Court and presidential offices on Jan. 8. This attack followed weeks of protest, as
demonstrators called on the military to take power and dismiss the country's recent election
Part of what has spurred on these demonstrations is Bolsonaro's claim that the election
was stolen. While this claim has been denied by experts, that did not stop the protestors.
Critical to this issue is the fact that current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, commonly
known as Lula, is head of the left-wing Workers' Party while Bolsonaro is an infamous right-
wing nationalist.
It should be stated in simple terms that the attack on Brazil's government is a very bad
thing. The fact that a mob of right-wing protestors can simply storm numerous government
offices, despite being eventually apprehended, is concerning. This situation is starkly similar
to a Brazilian coup that took place March 31, 1964, in which armed forces instated an
extreme nationalist dictator.
While the coup in 1964 took place arguably during a period of greater instability and was
clearly more successful than the attack on Jan. 8, the ideological foundation is the same.
Thankfully, this time around the democratic government was able to respond in turn.
Right-wing nationalism, while clearly a threat to any president or parliamentary group on
the left of the political spectrum, is also a threat to democracy itself.
In Chile, 1973, nationalist forces led by General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist
leader Salvador Allende. Allende had been democratically elected in 1970, despite the U.S.
government using covert funds in an attempt to prevent his election, something they openly
admit to today.
The fact of the matter is that the 2022 election in Brazil and the election of Allende in Chile
were democratic elections that resulted in left-wing leadership in both countries. Whether or
not one agrees with the social ideology of these parties and presidents, they were elected as
part of a fair democratic process. Right-wing nationalists attempted to destroy their
democracy, and still do.
While the comparison has already been made, one cannot help but compare this recent
conflict in Brazil to the uprising at the United States Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. During the
Jan. 6 riots, supporters of former president Donald Trump attacked the Capitol building in an
attempt to stop the 2020 U.S. election from being certified.
Similarly to Brazil, these attacks also followed an accusation of voter fraud and a stolen
election by a political figure who lost an election. Many of these rioters were right-wing
nationalists, such as members of the armed militia known as the Proud Boys. It should be
mentioned that this group is so extreme that they are labelled as a terrorist organization by
the Canadian government.
While it is easy to point to others, as Canadians, we should reflect on the growing issue
domestically. This ideology is alive in our own backyards.
The rise of right-wing nationalist political parties such as the People's Party of Canada,
and events such as the Freedom Convoy led by several far-right nationalists, show that
Canadian democracy is also having to weather the effects of far-right nationalism. At the
convoy protest, there was also at least one individual openly flying a Nazi flag.
The current leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, has expressed
his support for protestors at the convoy. While he has said that he condemns those who
acted illegally or behaved poorly, expressing any kind of support for a movement where
Nazis feel comfortable enough to wave flags is certainly troubling.
With all these events and the opinions of the leader of the Conservative party in mind, I do
not think it is unreasonable to feel that the logical conclusion of right-wing popularity and
activity is right-wing nationalism. And we know where right-wing nationalism will lead us.
The threat that far-right nationalism poses, both domestically and abroad, is a threat to
peace and democracy. If left unchecked, events such as the attacks of Jan. 6 and 8 could
become more common worldwide.

Q: OneNote 2016 : Choose highlight colour not available to a tag I'd like to go ahead and change the tag highlight colour on OneNote, to something much more easier/softer on the eyes and the text I'm trying to read.
The highlighting for general text in OneNote offer a suitable and easy on the eyes green that I want to use instead of this harsh green. However, the colour options for the tags themselves are much more limited and don't have any more transparent colours (save for a light grey, but I don't fancy putting light grey all over my notes). I'm fairly good with technology, and wouldn't mind it if there were some back-end files I needed to go through to make this change.
I'm using OneNote 2016 from Office 365.
Image of what I'd like:

A: You can use Onetastic for OneNote https://omeratay.com/
Onetastic is a free multi-purpose addin for Microsoft OneNote. You can program in OneNote without using the raw XML.  There are many utility programs ready to use including several for highlighting (called shading in Word.)

Greg Maxey, a Word MVP, has a highlight tool addin for Word that does exactly what you request. http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/highlighter.html.
"The add-in will hopefully offer a solution to the problem of odd and often too dark highlighter colors available with the standard Word highlighter tool."

A Great page to show lighter versions of colors (and the HEX code for them) is http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorgroups.asp .  Look at the bottom of the page under White Colors.  Also look at the previous and next links at the top of the page for some other nice color adjustment techniques

You can use VBA in Word to Program OneNote but OneTastic is much easier. If you seriously want to make "backend changes," here are some other suggestions. Be warned that the OneNote VBA programming documentation is meager compared to programming Word or Excel.
You can programmatically "shade" in Word using the Shading object on a selection or a range. You want the change the background color. The syntax is myRange.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor =  wdColorTurquoise.
The "Shade Object" is different from the "highlight object" in Word so Highlight searches in the Find/Replace dialog will fail.
A place to start programming the OneNote Object Model is https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj680118.aspx
As an alternative, you could programatically highlight your material in Word, and copy your selection to OneNote since the background pattern color is preserved when you copy and paste. You then have the organizing/grouping powers of OneNote with the Technical wizardry of Word.


You live by the sword,….you die by the sword!!!
Not that I am a conspiricy theorist, nor a wacko,…..But consider the three things below and talk to me, or at least comment on my piece.
2. United Airlines had a "computeer glitch" which resulted in a temporary, BUT 100% "grund stop" of it's entire fleet. ("Ground Stop means nothing can move, not a single plane. thus blocking ALL the gate in all the United Terminals,…"where you are is where you is gonna stay"…pretty soon the "coffee, tea , or an adult beverage" will consume the entire supply of the aircraft, and then who knows wht they do.) There is a reason to drink at 8am Dorothy,….thank you Lord,…after all it's "not so happy hour in China".
3. Then about 11:32a.m. Eastern time ( New York, Washington and Miami time) the New York Stock Exchange announces that "Due to a 'technical 'glitch', they are suspending the trading of all stocks until they can correct the "glitch". Coincidentally (Gee, but twenty minutes later they issue a bulletin that it is "….Not a Cyber attack. As I write this it is going on three hours later and a "new alert" says the "it plans to open the market back up between 2:45 and 3:00 pm this afternoon. (It has also passed ovr the wires that the Exchange started "cancelling" almost 700,000 orders that had been placed prior to the closure and were unfilled.) Oh and a footnote the wires also indicated the FBI, SEC, CIA, and even President "Obummer" were watching the "glitch.
4. And as a "so what?" the New York Times web site also went down for a while this morning as well.
Not that I am a conspiracy theorist as I said,… but the proper ettiquette for today is ,…." Hhmmmmm!".
Stay tuned tomorrow for MY opinion on the "facts" that we are given as to what happened and why we are all totally safe and secure.
« So many books,…so little time!

Spurs pull away from Jazz to win first Game 1 in four years
SAN ANTONIO -- This was not another early playoff letdown by the San Antonio Spurs. For the first time in four years, they won a series opener.
But more important to them was Tony Parker looking like his old postseason self.
Putting together his best playoff game since 2009, Parker scored 28 points and the top-seeded Spurs erased four years of putting themselves in 0-1 holes to start the playoffs, beating the Utah Jazz 106-91 in Game 1 of their first-round series Sunday.
It marked the 11th straight win for the Spurs dating to the regular season, and kept the Spurs from being hounded by the same doubts that emerged this time last year when they also entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed, only to be ousted by Memphis.
"I think everybody knows what happened last year," Parker said. "Everybody's motivated this year, but we don't even talk about it."
What Parker -- and coach Gregg Popovich -- have talked about is the All-Star's unremarkable series against the Grizzlies a year ago. Popovich told Parker that he thought his star point guard tried harder with the French national team last summer than in the playoffs, and Parker vowed to return with a different attitude.
He's making good on it so far.
The Jazz, meanwhile, hung close for three quarters in the franchise's first playoff game without Jerry Sloan since 1988. Paul Millsap led Utah with 20 points, but the Jazz couldn't keep up when the NBA's top 3-point shooting team began burying them with three in a two-minute burst to finish the third.
"The biggest thing we're going to learn is the different ways to guard the pick and roll, and what worked and what didn't," Jazz guard Gordon Hayward said. "We can't let them get to the paint as easily, because it's kick out 3's and dump down's and whatever. So we have to do better at that."
Game 2 is Wednesday in San Antonio.
Hayward scored 17 points and Al Jefferson had 16 for the Jazz, who present the Spurs problems with a bigger frontcourt but contributed to their own doom with 16 turnovers.
"But we are a young team," Millsap said. "Things like that happen."
Tim Duncan added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who despite boasting the No. 1 seed for a second straight year hadn't won a Game 1 in its last six postseason series. The last one was a double-overtime win over Phoenix in 2008, which was also around the last time that the Spurs entered the playoffs as healthy as they are now.
But they didn't leave this game entirely scot-free.
Center Tiago Splitter sprained his left wrist and didn't return after scoring four points in 8 minutes. The severity of the injury wasn't immediately known, but even with arguably the deepest Spurs team in the Duncan era, San Antonio would sorely miss their 7-footer.
Parker shook off a slow start to shoot 10 of 19 from the floor. He also had eight assists in his best playoff game since scoring 43 against Dallas in 2009.
"We needed this one. We played a pretty good game. It wasn't brilliant," said Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who had seven points. "But it was steady and we kept fighting. It took us awhile, but we broke it in the fourth quarter."
The Jazz may be bigger, but are well short on playoff experience compared to the Spurs. To that end, Utah coach Tyrone Corbin put Josh Howard back in the starting lineup for Game 1, even though the Jazz rolled into the postseason winners of five in a row with DeMare Carroll at small forward.
Howard had knee surgery in March and returned Tuesday against Phoenix. Whatever concerns Corbin harbored of Howard disrupting Utah's recent chemistry were allayed by his six playoff stints in Dallas, including his starting role in the Mavericks' run to the 2006 NBA Finals.
"There was no apprehension," Corbin said. "We know who he is. We're going to need all the experience we can get."
Yet Howard didn't deliver any instant veteran dividend. He was 0 for 4 and played 16 minutes, sitting out much of the second half.
The Spurs made their own lineup tweak. Boris Diaw started alongside Duncan in the frontcourt, making for a pairing that undersized San Antonio could stick with for the playoffs. Diaw arrived in San Antonio in March with a dismal defensive reputation, but coach Gregg Popovich said before the game that his newest big man has turned out to be better than first thought.
Not that Diaw's scoring touch wasn't needed. While Duncan labored through a rough first half -- scoring 7 points on 3 of 8 shooting, including Derrick Favors eliciting more than few "oohs" for swatting one of Duncan's would-be dunks -- Diaw also scored 7 in the half while missing just one shot.
Duncan, who turned 36 this week, finally found his groove in the second half. He was 7 of 14 from the floor in his first game in nearly a week after Popovich gave his Big Three an extended rest to ensure their health for the playoffs.
The Jazz fell to 1-4 against the Spurs this year, with their only win coming in Salt Lake City when Duncan, Ginobili and Parker didn't play. ...The Jazz shot 4 of 13 from behind the 3-point line.

Ranting Gryphon Studios is an audio/video production studio, built and owned by "2 Gryphon". It is located in the Los Angeles area. It currently serves as a daily office and workplace for 2 and is his main tool for his work in entertainment.
Though the majority of the studio has been funded by 2 himself, a very notable portion has been donated by 2's fans, specifically for the purpose of expanding the studio and the scope of the work 2 can be involved in. Donations from a few individuals in 2009 allowed RGS to break from an audio-only setup into video as well.
It's hard to say exactly when RGS began, though it's safe to say its origins come from sometime in 1988. It was at this point that a collection of rudimentary, low-tech musical equipment was first formed within a dedicated space for the purpose of creating music. RGS became an ever expanding cache of used and partially functioning equipment, spliced wires and spare parts which, when combined in the correct order under the light of a full moon with the blessing of a few obscure Gods, was capable of recording multi-track music on an old cassette tape deck, hacked to accept multiple inputs.
This was the state of RGS for about ten years. The equipment was enough to create recordings, but not too much to be moved with 2 as he found himself living in different parts of the country over the years. In 1997, the most versatile and important piece of RGS equipment was added. A computer capable of recording audio digitally. At this point, RGS moved into the digital age and has never looked back.
It was in this configuration that 2 realized that, in addition to music, he could also use RGS for decent voice recordings and began producing short rants and commentary files for uploading to the internet. RGS received its first name (at the time -- "Take 2 Studios"), and the first productions to bear the name of the studio began to be produced.
It was not long before a broadband internet connection was implemented and longer shows, such as 2 Sense began to be produced and streamed to the internet live.
As of mid 2009, all of the RGS equipment, along with new tools specifically for creating and editing live video was moved to the Los Angeles area where, for the first, time it has enjoyed the privilege of a dedicated space. As any home studio owner knows, a studio is an ever changing process. RGS is currently and always looking ahead toward future capabilities and new projects.

MiLa: A James Pottinger design for a luxury pleasure cruiser. This is a two sheet plan for a static or radio controlled model.
It is to a scale of 1:24 producing a model just over 27.5 inches (700mm) long.
The plan was featured, together with photographs and some constructional advice in the December 2011 Model Boats magazine (No. 61/733). No detailed constructional information is included on the plans; the builder is required to interpret them so as to build a scale replica. It is therefore recommended for those with some experience of building a model boat from plans.


In July 2016, we had a fabulous experience staying at the Hilton Seychelles Labriz for three nights. The resort is part of the Hilton brand, so we managed to get some really good value because of the Hilton Honors program.
The Hilton Seychelles Labriz is actually located on its own island. While almost all hotels are placed on one of the three main islands (Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue), this one has got its own (and massive!) island about 20 kilometres towards the north-west of Mahe. It is actually larger than La Digue, but since 93% of the island are designated national park lands, there are only 7% left – which are all owned by the resort.
As you can probably imagine, this makes the whole place very special. An island in the Indian Ocean, with lots of nature on it and just one resort. There is also a tortoise farm, a very very small local village with about a dozen buildings. Unfortunately, most of them are abandoned. Even a school exists there, but it's closed because there are currently no children living there. Apparently, there is also an even smaller village on the other side of the island, but only a handful of people still live there.
Due to the secluded location, the only way of getting there is the private boat transfer offered by the resort. The boats run three times a day each way and take about 45 minutes to cross. The timetable fits all international flights very well, so there won't be any annoyingly long waiting times. We paid 99 Euros (around US$110) per person for the round-trip, which isn't too bad considering the location.
After landing at the airport (Mahe International), we took a taxi to the Hilton Labriz jetty. The ride to the other side of the island takes roughly 30 minutes without traffic delays. Going by taxi will set you back around US$45, the transfer you can order through Hilton is around US$75 each way. We took the taxi and can definitely recommend it! Be sure to agree on a price before getting in the car though. Most taxis in the Seychelles do not have meters. If you want to save as much money as possible, there are also buses running along this route. Since there are no reliable timetables, you'll have to bring a bit of time though.
We just loved how organised and smooth everything was. Arriving on the island, we were all put into different golf carts, getting a tour of the resort and its facilities, and then stopping at our villa. Literally a couple of minutes later, someone else arrived with our bags, which were taken from us when getting out of the taxi. Can't really get any better than that! And all this, even though we arrived on the island just after 9:00 am!
Besides the really really secluded location, it is a huge advantage that the resort is simply a long stretch along the beach. There are only very few villas that don't have a sea view, but almost 100 out of the 120 villas in total are spread along one kilometre of sandy beach. Thus, even with occupation rates of around 90% like during our stay, the resort never seems full.
On this map, the right side is north and the left side is south, which is where the boat jetty is located.
Then in the centre of the resort there are the pool and most of the restaurants, as well as the "Silhouette Pavilion". There, you can sign up for all the activities and excursions offered on the island. Further along, all the other villas are lined up along the beach until you get to the very end. That's where the spa is.
This is the basic option. The villas themselves are just as nice as the ones by the beach, but they are located in the second or third row. Therefor, these villas usually are at least US$100 cheaper than the ones right by the beach. That means, you'll be able to get a single night here from US$200 when on sale. If you do have a Gold Status with Hilton Honors like us, which is surprisingly easy to get, you'll most likely find yourself upgraded to a beachfront villa.
As I mentioned above, when available you should always be upgraded into one of these as a Hilton Honors Gold member. Otherwise, these villas start at around US$300 on sale. This is where we stayed, and the patio and private beach access is nothing short of amazing.
These are basically the same as the beachfront villas, but they feature a little plunge pool. It's located in the outside bit of the bathroom, as you can see on the picture.
This is kind of a hidden gem. A lot cheaper than the similar pool villas along the beach, but located hillside. The view towards the sea is even better though! In addition, you get your own swimming pool in the garden facing the lush hillside jungle.
The nicest one of the regular villas, but unfortunately it is quite far from the main part of the resort and the beach up here is a bit more rocky than elsewhere.
It's awesome that even the cheapest villas already feature an outside rain shower. That way, it really does feel like a tropical luxury resort.
Apart from the slow internet, we really had nothing to complain about. But in such a remote place, that's just what it is. You shouldn't spend too much time on the phone / computer here anyways.
The beach here is actually very nice too, which isn't always the case in the Seychelles. There are not many of the typical rock formations you get around the Seychelles and thus not much snorkelling right by the beach, but therefor the colour of the water and the swimming during high tide is great. And for snorkelling, they offer tours to some amazing spots nearby. It certainly isn't a bargain though.
There is a ton of stuff to do here. There are general activities like tennis for example, but you can also do other things like scuba diving courses, snorkelling, or guided walks around the national park.
There is one route though, which you can walk on your own, without a guide. That's what we did, as we like to explore places on our own. It takes you along the coast from the boat jetty down south along a dirt road that soon turns into nothing more than a walking path. The first beach is only about half an hour from the resort, but you can continue walking along another beach and then on to a third one. The beaches are not really suitable for swimming, but there is some stunning natural beauty to be found around here and we didn't see a single human being for the whole three hours we wandered around. A really rare occurrence in popular vacation spots nowadays!
For a resort of this size, the variety of restaurants is remarkable. There are seven of them in total!
The Cafe Dauban is the buffet restaurant and serves as the main restaurant for breakfast and dinner.
The Portobello serves Italian cuisine and is the only restaurant with a dress-code. The wine selection is overwhelming, even though it's not one of our favourite beverages.
The Lo Brizan is where you'll most likely get your lunch. It's conveniently located right next to the pool, offering snacks, sandwiches, and other light food. Connected to it is a Pizzeria, which serves good pizza until 5:00 pm daily.
Keep in mind that you need reservations for all dinner restaurants apart from the buffet. During high season, the restaurants fill up quickly.
If you're planning on eating a lot, or going for more expensive food, half- or full board would definitely be the right choice for you.
The good thing is: If you do opt for the half- or full board meal plan, not only the buffet restaurant, but also all the a-la-carte restaurants are included in the price!
The budget option: We had the breakfast included because of the Hilton Honors status and enjoyed all the food there until 11:00 in the morning. Then we usually had pizza just before 5:00 in the evening and that was it. This way, we managed to keep our daily expenses far below our expectations.
More info on the restaurants you'll find here.
We had a flight departing Mahe at 9:00 in the morning to Johannesburg. Since the Hilton offers an early boat transfer at 5:00, this wasn't a problem. We were the only people on the boat and all staff was trying to make our last few minutes a nice experience, even at this horrible time of day. We even got an own breakfast served by the front desk at 4:30 in the morning. A golf cart then picked us up and we were down by the pier in no time. It was a clear night with the moon and countless stars sparsely lighting up the ocean and islands around us, with us two being the only ones standing on deck of the boat.
Again, we left our baggage in the room and it magically appeared in the back of our airport taxi an hour and a half later. Perfect!
If you ever go to the Seychelles, you should be prepared to spend a lot of money. It doesn't matter what you're planning on doing there, everything apart from catching a local bus is expensive. Considering the value you get for your money though, the Hilton Seychelles Labriz is for sure one of the best places in the entire country! You'll often find three / four star hotels on the main island in the same price range as the Hilton Labriz. That's because it's a bit of an effort to get there, and once you do, everything costs a lot. But considering that you get a private island resort in the Seychelles for this money, it's a bargain. Even more so, if you can enjoy the benefits of a Hilton Honors status.

Have you been to the Seychelles? Maybe you've stayed here! We'd love to know!
I love luxurious accommodations and this one definitely fits the bill. The rooms are beautifully designed and so relaxing with their architectural details. And a private pool plus a few steps from the beach? Ah, this is my kind of paradise!!
Yes it's pretty much paradise, right?!
Oh how dreamy! This certainly looks like paradise. What an incredible place to stay! Sounds like there's HEAPS of stuff to do here too. The walks into the national park look really stunning, with great views. Gorgeous!
It was amazing, the National Park at your doorstep was breathtaking!
Oh my goodness, this place looks amazing!!! If I could pick a honeymoon location, this will def. be it!! How amazing is it to have your own pool in the backyard, right near the seaside? So beautiful.
Luxury Backpacking! Genius idea. I was think of these places as totally out of my budget. But maybe the Hilton Honors program actually makes this affordable?! I mean I hope so, those sunsets look beautiful from the beach!
I've never stayed at any of the Hilton hotels and resorts but when I do I'd much rather it be somewhere like this than in a built up city!! It looks like absolute paradise, and so peaceful! The rooms look like absolute luxury but at the same time totally blend in and coordinate with the scenery and area, which is great.
As for the food situation – at $30 for 16 tortellini I don't blame you for sticking to pizza! That's daylight robbery! I hope the tortellini had flecks of gold in it for that price.
Exactly, us too! Haha sadly it didn't, but should be expected for that price!
Oh this Hilton looks amazing. Sometimes the ones in Australia are a bit shabby. But this one wow! I love how they leave the lovely little notes on the bed for you. It really does make you feel like your someone special not just another guest.
We have stayed in many Hiltons in Australia, and they do range in standards quite a bit! But yes, this Hilton truly surpassed our expectations!
Wow. I have never been anywhere so secluded. It looks amazing. So exotic.
This really would be my ideal getaway. I love your private pools and the secluded beaches. Although the price of the food seems a little steep!
We have stayed in this property when we went to Seychelles…I loved every minute of it! The beach was so stunning…powdery sand blue seas. And the showers…oh…I loved the open air showers! We were totally spoilt…your post has brought back some awesome memories!
Awesome, it's hard to say anything wrong with it! We're so glad you had a great time there too!
These are some awesome pictures and I have never been to the Seychelles. You've just given me an idea about this place, I would love to stroll along the beach when I visit Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa.


Biggest headlines heading into 2017 NFL preseason?
Get pumped, football fans, for our preseason extravaganza!
The NFL announced the matchups for the 2017 slate of preseason games on Monday.
Let's dive a bit deeper into the national TV schedule.
Which 2017 Preseason Week 3 game is most enticing?
We knew the Hall of Fame Game matchup, which will be played for the first time on the Thursday before inductions into Canton take place Saturday. With Jerry Jones and Kurt Warner being inducted, the Cards-Cowboys matchup makes sense. Each team will play five preseason games this year.
As the late, great Dennis Green once told us, the third game of the preseason holds most of the juice.
The battle of Los Angeles is the highlight of the Week 3 slate with the Rams hosting the Chargers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. We should have a better idea how much Jared Goff has grown under new coach Sean McVay after the August tussle.
The biggest question of the week likely will be which game will mark Tony Romo's debut for CBS. Would it be the Saturday matchup in L.A.? Or will the network place their No. 1 duo in Seattle for the Friday prime-time tilt between the Seahawks and Chiefs? Whichever game the network decides will surely draw eyeballs to see how the ex-Cowboys quarterback fairs in his first game under the bright lights.
All 65 preseason games will air on NFL Network this August, including select live contests, which will be announced at a later date.


Explore contemporary and ancient Rome through the eyes of three authors. Robert Harris's "Imperium" is set in ancient Rome.
To many travelers, visiting Rome is akin to experiencing magic. The reputation is deserved — it is hard to walk through sites like the Colosseum and not be reminded of the city's former splendor, to be struck by its air of romance and mystery. But Rome has evolved, even though our imagination of the Eternal City has not. These books explore the culture, art and grandeur of ancient Rome, but also bring visitors to the present, including a guided tour by a former art critic and a deep exploration of one fictional Italian family.
Set in ancient Rome, this historical novel casts Cicero, best known for his oratorical contributions, in a different light, exploring his ascent to what we would now call a career politician. The novel is presented as a biography written by Cicero's former slave, Tiro, and chronicles his start as a lawyer and aspiring politician. Cicero confronts corruption head-on in a case against Verres, a former governor, accusing the courts of showing preferential treatment to "any man, no matter how guilty, if he has sufficient money.'' The book is more engaging for its accuracy — in many cases, the author uses Cicero's actual arguments — and draws parallels between the dynamics of contemporary politics and those of ancient Rome.
"Rome" by Robert Hughes captures ancient Rome in rich detail.
This book, by an opinionated former art critic, is hardly the dry city biography one might expect. Robert Hughes captures ancient Rome in rich detail, with revelations such as Emperor Augustus's propensity for commissioning sculptures of himself (with some 25,000 to 50,000 stone statues estimated to have been produced). Mr. Hughes does not limit himself to critiquing art, offering observations about the city's infrastructure, including Rome's apparent adoration of fountains, as well as ancient Romans' tendency toward spectacle. Mr. Hughes's guided tour of the city is impassioned, informative and entertaining.
"Ties" by Domenico Starnone, one of Italy's leading novelists, tells of the effects betrayal can have on a marriage.
This novel by one of Italy's leading novelists is told from the perspective of a couple, Vanda and Aldo, as well as their grown children, across decades — and shows the effects betrayal can have on a marriage. Vanda and Aldo's relationship experiences a rupture when Aldo sleeps with a younger woman. With 1970s politics as a backdrop, Vanda accuses Aldo of falling victim to the times: "You came across a respectable young girl close at hand and in the name of sexual liberation and the dissolution of the family you became her lover," she writes in a letter that opens the book. The two eventually get back together, but decades later the adultery re-emerges — after they return from a vacation to find their Rome apartment ransacked — as artifacts of the betrayal come to light. An emotionally affecting work, "Ties" explores what binds people together and what forces them apart.

This particular example is finished in Nero Daytona (metallic) over Cuoio leather seats with 22" Vossen HF2 wheels and red brake calipers. 1 of only 50 that were produced, the OTO version boasts the desirable Superfast F1 transmission with a dual plate clutch made for the 599, offering a noticeably quicker, more exhilarating shift speed. Other features that came 'standard' on the OTO models were the Mannetino steering wheel, glass roof and more. The 612 proves to be one of the most iconic grand touring performance cars to enter the market; equipped with Ferrari's coveted V12 engine that produces an estimated 530 horsepower.


Why should you file financial statements?
When do you need to file financial statements?
How do you file financial statements?
Do you need to have your financial statements audited or reviewed?
Audit or review report (where applicable).
You might like to use the sample financial statement as a guide for preparing your society's statement.
You need to include a certificate stating that the financial statement has been submitted to and approved by the members of the society at a general meeting. This certificate needs to be signed by an officer of the society e.g. – president, treasurer or secretary.
If you're filing your financial statements manually, they should be submitted with a completed financial statement cover sheet (Form IS4 – Financial statement cover sheet). This cover sheet must state the date of the general meeting at which the financial statement was approved.
You need to provide the Annual General Meeting (AGM) month when you file financial statements. The Form IS4 – financial statement cover sheet, with the AGM month details provided, should be submitted together with the financial statement.
An audit report needs to be submitted with the financial statement if the rules of the society specify that an auditor must be appointed to audit the financial statement.
Similarly, where the rules of the society specify that a reviewer must be appointed the review report must be submitted with the financial statement.
Every incorporated society has to submit an annual financial statement to the Registrar, even if it's been inactive for the past financial year.
In this case, if the society has had no expenditure or income and has no assets and liabilities during this timeframe, a statement is still required to be filed to report this inactivity.
You might like to use the sample nil financial statement as a guide for preparing your society's statement.
The financial statement must cover the correct reporting period. For example, for the 31 March 2016 financial year, the financial statement should cover the society's transactions for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016.
Before filing, check the Register to confirm that the society hasn't already filed a financial statement for that particular financial year.
Financial statements have to be of good quality and all data should be readable. A clear, legible copy of the financial statement should be submitted for registration.

Q: GetRouteUrl returning correct url in code behind but null in .aspx I can correctly get at URL in a code-behind file, but the same statement returns nothing in an inline statement.
Here is part of my RegisterCustomRoutes method, which gets executed in Application_Start:
void RegisterCustomRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
     // Student list route
     routes.MapPageRoute(
          "StudentListRoute",
          "Course/{courseId}/Students",
          "~/path/to/page.aspx");

      // Course details route
      routes.MapPageRoute(
          "CourseDetailsRoute",
          "Course/{courseId}",
          "~/path/to/otherpage.aspx");

      ... some other route declarations
}

Then, in one of my .aspx pages, I have the following inline statement:
<a href="<%# GetRouteURL("CourseDetailsRoute", new { courseId = 1}) %>">Some text

I am expecting the generated URL to be:
/Course/1

Instead, nothing (either null or string.Empty) is returned. Again, I have confirmed that this statement correctly returns the desired URL in the code behind file.

A: My inline statement used the <%# ... %> tags, which are reserved for databinding purposes. Changed my inline statement to,
<a href="<%: GetRouteUrl("RouteName", new { param = paramValue }) %>">Anchor text

which resolved my issues.

Olympics to take place without spectators as Japan declares state of emergency over virus concerns
The 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo will take place without spectators after Japan declared a state of emergency amid a rise in COVID-19 cases.
BBC and CNN report that Olympics Minister Tamayo Marukawa announced Thursday that the upcoming games would occur without fans in the stands.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga says the state of emergency will last from next Monday to Aug. 22.
The Olympics begin July 23 and close Aug. 8.
In June, organizers announced that attendance at the games would be limited to 10,000 local fans at all Olympic venues, so long as those fans wore masks, refrained from cheering and went straight home following the event.
Suga's announcement came just hours after the arrival of IOC president Thomas Bach in Tokyo.
The emergency was prompted by rising cases, low vaccination rates and the concern that issuing an emergency too late would lead to illnesses and deaths.
According to the Associated Press, Japan reported 920 new cases of the virus on Wednesday, the highest number of new cases since May. Experts fear that Japan could see as many as 1,000 new cases a day before the Games open at the end of the month.
Bloomberg reports that Japan has only distributed enough vaccines to cover 21% of its population. By comparison, the U.S. has distributed enough vaccines to cover 52% of its population.
