Rome, Papal States
Mannerist
Daniele da Volterra, Descent from the Cross (c. 1545), after its restoration in 2004; Trinità dei Monti, Rome.
Daniele Ricciarelli (Italian: [daˈnjɛːle rittʃaˈrɛlli]; c. 1509 – 4 April 1566), better known as Daniele da Volterra (/voʊlˈtɛrə/, Italian: [daˈnjɛːle da (v)volˈtɛrra]), was a Mannerist Italian painter and sculptor.
He is best remembered for his association with the late Michelangelo. Several of Daniele's most important works were based on designs made for that purpose by Michelangelo. After Michelangelo's death, Daniele was hired to cover the genitals in his Last Judgment with vestments and loincloths. This earned him the nickname Il Braghettone ("the breeches maker").

Daniele da Volterra, The Prophet Elias (circa 1550-1560); in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
Daniele Ricciarelli was born in Volterra (in present-day Tuscany). As a boy, he initially studied with the Sienese artists Il Sodoma and Baldassare Peruzzi, but he was not well received and left them. He appears to have accompanied the latter to Rome in 1535, and helped paint the frescoes in the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne. He then became an apprentice to Perino del Vaga.
From 1538 to 1541 he helped Perino with the painting of frescoes in the villa of Cardinal Trivuzio at Salone, in the Massimi chapel in Trinità dei Monti, and the chapel of the crucifixion in San Marcello al Corso. He was commissioned the painting of a frieze in the main salon of the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne, with the life of Fabius Maximus.
In Rome he also started working in the circle of Michelangelo and befriended him. Michelangelo used his influence with Pope Paul III to secure Daniele commissions and the post of superintendent of the works of the Vatican, a position he retained until the Pope's death. Michelangelo also provided him with sketches on which Daniele based some of his paintings, especially his series of frescoes in the Orsini chapel in the Trinity College, the commission for which Daniele had received in December 1541.
Later Daniele was commissioned by Paul III to complete the decoration of the Sala Regia. On the death of the pope in 1549 he lost his position as superintendent and the pension to which it entitled him. He then devoted himself chiefly to sculpture.
He died in Rome in 1566. According to Daniele's will, the marble knee of the missing left leg of the Christ from Michelangelo's Deposition was in his possession at the time of his death. Among his pupils was Giulio Mazzoni from Piacenza.[1] Leonardo Ricciarelli was his nephew.
The façade of the Palazzo di Pirro (nowadays part of the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne) was decorated by Daniele with biblical scenes.
Daniele's best-known painting is the Descent from the Cross in the Trinità dei Monti (circa 1545), after drawings by Michelangelo; by an excess of praise this work was at one time grouped with Raphael's Transfiguration and the Last Communion of St. Jerome by Domenichino as the most famous pictures in Rome. Daniele's two-sided painting of David killing Goliath (restored in 2008) in the Louvre too seems to have been based on Michelangelo's designs; for a long time it was attributed to him.
Other notable works include the Massacre of the Innocents (1557) in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, a portrait he drew of Michelangelo and a bust he made from Michelangelo's death mask.
A well-known sculpture is the Cleopatra in the Belvedere. From France, Daniele received the commission to make a bronze equestrian statue of Henry II, but he finished only the horse; this was later used for a statue of Louis XIII at the Place Royale and melted down during the French Revolution.[2]
Style[edit]

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia gave the following description of Daniele's style as a painter:
His work is distinguished by beauty of colouring, clearness, excellent composition, vigorous truth, and curiously strange oppositions of light and shade. Where he approaches closely to Michelangelo, he is an artist of great importance; where he partakes of the sweetness of Sodoma, he becomes full of mannerisms, and possesses a certain exaggerated prettiness. A recent author has wisely said: "He exaggerates Michelangelo's peculiarities, treads on the dangerous heights of sublimity, and, not possessing his master's calm manner, is apt to slip down." His position in present-day criticism is very different to what was given to him a generation ago, and more nearly approaches to a truthful view of his art.
The loincloths in Michelangelo's Last Judgment[edit]
Michelangelo, detail of The Last Judgment (1534-1541). St. Blaise, holding the iron combs of his martyrdom, and the body of St. Catherine of Alexandria, who is holding a breaking wheel, were chiseled away and repainted by Daniele da Volterra in 1565.
Daniele is infamous for having covered over, with vestments and fig-leaves, many of the genitals and backsides in Michelangelo's The Last Judgment fresco in the Sistine Chapel. This work was begun in 1565, shortly after the Council of Trent had condemned nudity in religious art. It earned Daniele the nickname "Il Braghettone" ("the breeches-maker").
He also chiseled away a part of the fresco and repainted the larger part of Saint Catherine and the entire figure of Saint Blaise behind her. This was done because in the original version Blaise had appeared to look at Catherine's naked behind, and because to some observers the position of their bodies suggested sexual intercourse.
The loincloths and draperies in the lower half of the fresco, however, were not painted by Daniele. His work on the Last Judgment was interrupted at the end of 1565 by the death of Pope Pius IV, after which the scaffolding he used had to be removed quickly because the chapel was needed for the election of a new pope.
His pupils included painter Michele Alberti.[3]

Anyone who has been following the outbreaks of Acute Flaccid Myelitis the last few years will likely think the following report is long overdue.
The report, Enterovirus D68–Associated Acute Respiratory Illness — New Vaccine Surveillance Network, United States, July–October,2017 and 2018, is especially welcome by those folks who are already convinced that AFM is associated with EV D68.
But wait, why was surveillance done through the New Vaccine Surveillance Network?
And for that matter, what is the New Vaccine Surveillance Network?
In addition to studies on the flu and pneumococcal disease, they have done studies on norovirus, coronavirus, human metapneumovirus, HPIV, RSV, and rhinovirus infections.
So what did they find out about Enterovirus D68 infections?
Considering that we had "only" 33 confirmed cases of AFM in 16 states in 2017 and at least 223 confirmed cases of AFM in 41 states in 2018, the rise in EV-D68 cases seems to correlate with the rise in AFM.
You mean besides the 2019 AFM season?

Have this day entered into the following agreement to fulfil this objective.
IN THIS CONTEXT,
1.1 Desiring to preserve the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka:
1.2 Acknowledging that Sri Lanka is a "multi-ethnic and a multi-lingual plural society" consisting, inter alia, of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims (Moors) and Burghers:
1.3 Recognising that each ethnic group has a distinct cultural and linguistic identity which has to be carefully nurtured:
1.4 Also recognising that the Northern and the Eastern Provinces have been areas of historical habitation of Sri Lankan Tamil speaking peoples, who have at all times hitherto lived together in this territory with other ethnic groups:
1.5 Conscious of the necessity of strengthening the forces contributing to the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka, and preserving its character as a multi ethnic, multi lingual and multi religious plural society in which all citizens can live in equality, safety and harmony, and prosper and fulfil their aspirations:
2. Resolve that
2.1 Since the government of Sri Lanka proposes to permit adjoining provinces to join to form one administrative unit and also by a referendum to separate as may be permitted to the Northern and Eastern Provinces as outlined below:
2.2 During the period, which shall be considered an interim period (i.e. from the date of the elections to the Provincial Council, as specified in para 2.B to the date of the referendum as specified in para 2.3) the Northern and Eastern Provinces as now constituted, will form one administrative unit, having one elected Provincial Council. Such a unit will have one Governor, one Chief Minister and one Board of Ministers.
2.3 There will be a referendum on or before 31st of December 1988 to enable the people of the Eastern Province to decide whether:
A) The Eastern Province should remain linked with the Northern Province as one administrative unit, and continue to be governed together with the Northern Province as specified in para 2.2 or:
B) The Eastern Province should constitute a separate administrative unit having its own distinct Provincial Council with a separate Governor, Chief Minister and Board of Ministers
The President may, at his discretion, decide to postpone such a referendum.
2.4 All persons who have been displaced due to ethnic violence or other reasons, will have the right to vote in such a referendum. Necessary conditions to enable them to return to areas from where they were displaced will be created.
2.5 The referendum when held will be monitored by a committee headed by the Chief Justice, a member appointed by the President, nominated by the Government of Sri Lanka, and a member appointed by the President, nominated by the representatives of the Tamil speaking people of the Eastern Province.
2.6 A simple majority will be sufficient to determine the result of the referendum.
2.7 Meetings and other forms of propaganda, permissible within the laws of the country, will be allowed before the referendum.
2.8 Elections to Provincial Councils will be held within the next three months, in any event before the 31st December 1987. Indian observers will be invited for elections to the Provincial Council in the North and East.

The process of surrendering of arms and the confining of security personnel and moving back to barracks shall be completed within 72 hours of the cessation of hostilities coming into effect.
2.10 The government of Sri Lanka will utilise for the purpose of law enforcement and maintenance of security in the Northern and Eastern Provinces the same organisations and mechanisms of government as are used in the rest of the country.
2.11 The President of Sri Lanka will grant a general amnesty to political and other prisoners now held in custody under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and other Emergency Laws, and to Combatants, as well as to those persons accused, charged and/or convicted under these Laws.

My main area of research is the social history of Scotland, particularly the Border area where I have made my home. But it is also the area where both my maternal and paternal ancestors lived and died in the 19th century. Much of the nature of the social interaction between our ancestors has not been recorded, but clues arise in unexpected areas; in witness depositions in court cases, details recorded in wills and testaments and also in genealogical studies of families.
L.P.Hartley in the opening lines of his novel, "The Go-Between" wrote, "The past is another country, they do things differently there." That is as true of our own personal pasts as it is of places and countries. I hope my books help us understand this past even if only in a small way.

Riverkeeper wants role in Duke water plan
A foundation that is one of the lead voices for more aggressive treatment of Duke Energy by the state has asked for a greater role in the cleanup at the company's Mount Holly plant.
Tuesday, the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation filed a document in the state's Office of Administrative Hearings requesting a say in Duke's challenge to a state permit. The permit in question would allow some wastewater to leak from the Riverbend Steam Station coal pond during cleanup.
That water could leak into the nearby Mountain Island Lake, a drinking water reservoir for about 1 million people in Gaston and Mecklenburg counties, according to the court filings.
The Riverkeeper and its legal representatives at the Southern Environmental Law Center distrust the state agency that oversees Duke's cleanup because of past deals the agency has attempted with Duke, according to the filings.
With the office's approval, Riverkeeper and SELC can argue in court, file more legal documents and participate in information gathering, the law center's senior attorney, Frank Holleman III, said. The Office of Administrative Hearings hasn't said yet when it will rule on the filing.
Duke attorneys will not contest the motion, and the state agency, the Department of Environmental Quality, has no stance on the subject, according to the filings.
The draft for the permit right now allows certain amounts of chemicals like arsenic, mercury and aluminum to be expelled from the Riverbend coal ash pond.
Duke wants the permit changed in part so that more tests are allowed to see if an excess of chemicals found in the water is from Duke Energy or if they occur naturally, Duke spokeswoman Catherine Butler said.
Duke has employed a similar argument for why it's not to blame for chemicals found in well water in Belmont. Groundwater that feeds into those wells may have picked up the chemicals from rocks and soil, not necessarily the nearby Allen Steam Station, Butler said.
The company has challenged the permit draft to make sure the final version is accurate, she said. This permit will be a model for closing all 14 coal ash ponds in the state.
"This is another attempt by SELC to grandstand," Butler said. "We're not surprised that they would want to intervene."
Duke retired the Riverbend plant in 2013 and has until 2019 to move the ash, left over from burning coal for energy.
The Allen Steam Station in Belmont has one inactive coal ash pond and one active pond. The state is still deciding how long Duke has to clean up the site and whether the company has to move the ash or can it cap it in place with a five-layer covering.
Belmont residents previously told by the state not to drink their well water were told earlier this month the water is OK to drink and actually has lower concentrations of potentially dangerous chemicals than does some city water.
Duke, based in Charlotte and known as the largest utility company in the country, was ordered by the state in 2014 to clean up its North Carolina ash ponds after a spill into the Dan River by Duke's plant in Eden.
Gov. Pat McCrory worked for Duke Energy for about 30 years before getting elected to office.

La macchina di Erone è un dispositivo descritto da Erone di Alessandria nel suo trattato sulla pneumatica (I secolo). Tale macchina permetteva di aprire le porte di un tempio e può essere considerata uno dei primi esempi di macchina a vapore della storia.

Funzionamento
Tale sistema utilizzava l'espansione dell'aria calda per mettere in pressione l'acqua di un serbatoio che, attraverso un sifone, andava a riempire un secchio sospeso, la cui discesa faceva aprire le porte del tempio. Quando il fuoco veniva spento, la pressione nel recipiente diminuiva e l'acqua tornava indietro, svuotando il secchio. In questo modo, un peso scendeva e faceva chiudere la porta cui era collegato

Baku. Azerbaijan's state-owned SOCAR plans to build a new primary oil refining unit on the territory of Baku Oil Refinery named after Heydar Aliyev, Tofig Gahramanov, vice-president for strategic development at SOCAR, told reporters, Trend reports.
According to Gahramanov, as part of the modernization of the Baku Oil Refinery, it was planned to move the unit with a capacity of 2 million tons per year from the territory of the former Azneftyag refinery to the Baku Oil Refinery in order to increase the capacity of the primary oil refining unit to 7.5 million tons per year.
"Studies have shown that reconstructing the equipment of Azneftyag oil refinery is unprofitable, and it is more expedient to build a new unit. Reconstruction of the primary oil refining unit currently operating at the Baku Oil Refinery will cost more than $200 million, and another $130 million will be needed for building an additional unit," Gahramanov stated.
Gahramanov also pointed out that the construction of a new unit may last 3.5 years.
The modernization of the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, which will be completed by 2021, is currently being carried out. After the modernization works are completed, the operational life of the enterprise will increase to 2040.
The cost of upgrading the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery is estimated at about $2.2 billion.

The Legacy Begins
The legacy began in 1910 when Indiana visionary, Guy Justus, started a homebuilding company on the east side of Indianapolis based on his principles of quality, integrity and value. He named it The Justus Contracting Company.
Operations Expand
Operations quickly expanded and Guy Justus purchased a small warehouse, barn and other buildings to house his growing business. But tragedy struck and he lost his barns, horses and equipment during the Great Depression and then once again from an enormous fire.
Walter E. Justus Becomes President & End of World War II
In 1941 Guy Justus was killed in an auto accident and his son Walter E. Justus took over as president. 1945 World War II ended and service men coming out of the war needed housing. The Justus Contracting Company seized this opportunity and developed the land by putting in sidewalks and streets and building almost every home from 10th Street to 16th St. and from Emerson Ave. to Ritter Ave. on Indy's east side.
The Justus Contracting Company was growing rapidly and they acquired tremendous amounts of land, some of which became commercial. They were even selected to construct homes for Better Homes & Gardens.
The Justus Contracting Company changed the name to The Justus Company. In 1962 Walter E. Justus developed and built the company's most innovative concept, Crestwood Village Senior Community. Walter recognized a need for quality senior housing and the senior members of his church had been asking "why don't you build something for us?" They leased the first three Crestwood buildings as fast as they could build them! In 1967 Walter E. Justus retired and his son Walter G. "Wally" Justus became president of the company.
Commercial and Retail Development
Wally Justus grew the company by adding commercial and retail development to the portfolio as well as expanding all levels of operations. In 1973 The Justus Company built the first Marriot Hotel in Indiana on the east side of Indianapolis.
Walt Justus Becomes 4th Generation President
In the mid-80s, The Justus Company developed a 100-acre parcel called Wellington, where they built apartments and pioneered the condo concept. Just as Walter E. Justus had mentored his son Wally, now it was Wally's turn to mentor his son Walt (who was named after his grandfather). In 1987, young Walt Justus became the fourth generation president of the company.
In 1997 Wyndham Hall is built, offering income-based senior apartments to the city's east side.
In 2005 The Justus Company expands into Carmel, Indiana, building the upscale Westwood Estates followed by Liberty Row Townhomes in 2008. In 2010 two new companies, Freedom Home Health & Hospice and Freedom Senior Services, are formed to better serve the medical and personal needs of senior residents. In 2013 The Justus Company is rebranded as The Justus Family of Companies. In 2015 The Bridgewater Apartments are built on the Westfield/Carmel, Indiana border, offering residents the perfect blend of luxury, lifestyle and location. In 2015 development and construction began on Woodland Terrace (the newest brand of senior living communities) in both Carmel and New Palestine, Indiana.

Israel's Mobileye takes off
Calcalist offers exclusive profile of Jerusalem company worth as much as one billion dollars
Golan Hazani, Calcalist|Published: 04.03.12 , 20:02
Most people have never heard of Mobileye, a Jerusalem company specializing in Advanced driver Assisted Systems, yet some forecasts predict a value of more than one billion dollars for it, marking yet another stunning Israeli success story.
Mobileye, founded by company CEO Professor Amnon Shashua, develops vehicle safety solutions using image-processing technologies. The company is registered and headquartered in Holland and has offices in Nicosia, Tokyo and Detroit.
Growth Forecast
IMF: Israeli economy to grow 2.8% in 2012
Avital Lahav
International Monetary Fund predicts lower growth than anticipated by Treasury, Bank of Israel. Israeli economy stable, strongly regulated, report says
A recent analysis commissioned by an investor offered Calcalist a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the company, which the accountancy firm valued at at $751 million.
Since its foundation in 1998, the company has raised about $157 million in investments. Its shareholders include Goldman Sachs and Motorola and according to IVC-ONLINE, also First International Bank's FIBI Bank and General Motors.
Research shows that Mobileye is still in the red. Although projected to end 2012 with doubled sales amounting to $45 million, it is expected to report losses. Nonetheless, forecasts cite 2013 as the tipping point where it will switch to a massive $42 million operating profit, which is expected to swell to nearly a half a billion dollars in the following three years.
Big-name clients
By now, Mobileye's systems have been incorporated into vehicles made by General Motors, BMW and Volvo. Future contracts include manufacturers such as Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Peugeot Citroën, Opel, Ford and Honda.
The recent evaluation set forth four future scenarios for the company's operations:
According to the first scenario, based on Mobileye's forecasts, the company's new contracts will catapult its revenue to $45 million by the end of 2012, and increasing revenues to $726 million in 2016. This forecast represents a current value of $1.1 billion.
The least optimistic scenario proposes a slow penetration rate ending in 2019 and projects $130 million revenues for 2015 and a $538 revenue for 2019, setting a current market value of $416 million.
The final valuation of $751 million represents the average valuation of all four scenarios.

The Harvard Library provides open access to our metadata through bibliographic datasets and APIs.
Are you a developer looking to build better experiences for library users? Are you a data scientist studying library information architecture? Are you interested in text mining Harvard Library's records to look for trends and insights related to your field of study?
Harvard Library is among the world's largest academic libraries. The data behind our collections has the power to tell compelling stories and open our eyes to new ways of doing things — making the knowledge we preserve for the world accessible in new and exciting ways.
That's why we provides open access to our metadata through bibliographic datasets and APIs.
Harvard LibraryCloud is a metadata hub that provides granular, open access to a large aggregation of Harvard library bibliographic metadata.
The public LibraryCloud Item API supports searching LibraryCloud and obtaining results in a normalized MODS or Dublin Core format.
LibraryCloud contains records from Harvard's Alma instance (over 12.7M bib records), SharedShelf (4M image records), and ArchivesSpace finding aids (2M finding aid components). Alma metadata has additionally been enriched with the Stackscore usage metric, as well as holdings, and LC classification subject headings.
LibraryCloud also contains an alpha release of a Collections API, that is planned for use as a digital collection definition and export service. The Collection API allows a group of LibraryCloud records to be labeled as part of a named collection. The collection may then be harvested through OAI-PMH in order to import metadata into online digital exhibit platforms, such as Spotlight or DPLA. The full build out of the collection API and a collection builder web application is still a work in progress.
The Presto Data Lookup service is a RESTful web API that offers programmatic access to data in the library's central online systems.
The Data Lookup API uses a simple URL request syntax and returns results in XML or JSON format.
Note that some of the resources available in this service must be accessed from a pre-registered IP address. Write to the Presto support team to request access. Please include the IP address that needs access, and planned usage.
This dataset contains over 12 million bibliographic records for materials held by the Harvard Library, including books, journals, electronic resources, manuscripts, archival materials, scores, audio, video and other materials.
The metadata has been created, acquired and modified over decades, and represents a range of cataloging rules and practices. The records have not been altered or quality-checked during the export process and are offered as is.
This [title of report or article or dataset] contains information from the Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others, OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. and the Library of Congress.
Harvard requests that the Harvard Library and OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. ("OCLC") and the Library of Congress be given attribution as a source of the Metadata, to the extent it is technologically feasible to do so.
Harvard requests that you make the Metadata and any improvements thereto freely available on the same terms as Harvard has done, i.e., without claiming any legal right in, or imposing any legally binding conditions on access to, the Metadata or your improvements, and with a request to act in accordance with these Community Norms.
With respect to Metadata consisting of or contained in records Harvard has obtained from the OCLC WorldCat database, Harvard requests that you respect and act in accordance with the community norms set forth in the WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative. Use of metadata from the WorldCat database for study and research is consistent with those norms, but if you plan to use such Metadata for other purposes, whether or not you are an OCLC member, we ask that you review and comply with those norms.
The Harvard Library provides open access to library metadata, subject to legal and privacy factors. In particular, the Library makes available its own catalog metadata under appropriate broad use licenses. The Library Board is responsible for interpreting this policy, resolving disputes concerning its interpretation and application, and modifying it as necessary.
This policy applies to all metadata that the library holds. For instance, the metadata from the DASH repository is also distributed under an open license.
Some metadata may have been placed under contractual obligations preventing distribution prior to the establishment of this policy. In such cases, of course, the library cannot legally, and will not, distribute the metadata beyond what such agreements allow.
Metadata that involves the usage of library materials by individual patrons will not be distributed without sufficient anonymization or aggregation to provide reasonable protection against the reconstruction of individual patron usage.
Because each metadata set may have individual legal and privacy characteristics, appropriate licenses are designed on an individual dataset basis. However, the goal is to make these licenses as broad as possible.
