Relevant literature for AOT cases was identified by searching PubMed (Medline) database. The word "AOT" yielded 264 results out of which many reported cases mentioned about some distinct feature associated with AOT, may it be of clinical, radiographical or histopathological relevance. Hence, we the authors take the opportunity to report a case with a new distinct finding of pathological relevance and review of literature with the same.
A 20-year-old female patient was referred to our outpatient department for evaluation of an asymptomatic swelling in left maxilla that was present since 3 months. Her medical history was otherwise non-contributory to the chief complain. Clinically, the area was grossly deformed though skin over the lesion appeared normal. There was no sensory deficit or nasal discharge observed. Intraoral examination revealed expansion of both buccal and palatal cortical plates of the left maxilla from deciduous canine to third molar region with intact overlying mucosa. Panoramic radiograph showed a unilocular radiolucency extending from distal root surface of 21 up to maxillary tuberosity region with impacted 23. Root displacement of 22 and resorption of roots of retained 63, 24, and 25, 26, 27, 28 were also evident [Figure 1]a]. Magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a hyper-radiolucency of 6 cm × 4 cm having comparatively clear demarcation with encroachment of maxillary sinus and erosion of the lateral wall of nose [Figure 1]b]. Odontogenic lesions, especially the radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, ameloblastoma, AOT, ameloblastic fibroma, myxoma, and glandular odontogenic cyst were high on our differential diagnosis as this lesion was noted in the tooth-bearing area of the jaws. Complete extirpation of the lesion was done and submitted for histopathological examination [Figure 2]a].
Macroscopically, the specimen appeared as a solid mass with dimensions of approximately 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm × 4.0 cm with a smooth surface and associated with a well-developed canine crown portion, circumscribed by cyst [Figure 2]b].
Microscopically, the lesional tissue contained a cystic cavity with variable-sized solid nodules of columnar cells of odontogenic epithelium forming nests and rosette like structures [Figure 3]a]. Between the epithelial cells and in the center of the rosette-like configurations, eosinophilic amorphous material "tumor droplets" was present. The duct-like spaces were also seen and were lined by a single row of columnar epithelial cells, with the nuclei polarized away from luminal surface. Connective tissue was fibrocellular with areas of hyalinization. In some areas of this solid nodule like areas, clear cell changes were found which has yet not been reported as a common histopathological feature in AOT [Figure 3]b]. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain was done and the clear cell origin was confirmed [Figure 4].
The controversy as to whether AOT represents hamartoma-like odontomas or a true neoplasm still persists. ,, Recently, Marx and Stern, in their book argued, this lesion to be a cyst rather than a tumor or hamartoma. They described AOT as a cyst that has hamartomatous intraluminal proliferation of epithelial cells derived from Hertwig epithelial root sheath. Calcifications seen in the histopathological picture are thought to be root dentin induced by root sheath epithelium.  Interestingly, we noticed the presence of pigmented cells in AOT during reviewing the literature, where racial pigmentation probably plays an important role. ,,,,, So an extensive review of literature in the last decade did reveal a lot of diverse histologic features in AOT, considering it to be either hybrid lesions or arising along with other lesions [Table 1]. ,,,,, As earlier reviewed by Mutalik et al., of various histopathological patterns in AOT (about 20 in number), inclusive of features seen in their case such as calcifications representing CEOT like areas, hyalinization, dentinoid like areas, etc., but clear cell changes was still not reported.  In the present case, the most distinct feature found was clear cell changes in the lesional tissue. Clear cell change can be an indication of the process of cellular degeneration or its odontogenic epithelial origin (diastase digestion PAS positive glycogen content). We did not find any literature earlier reporting AOT with clear cell changes making our case as the first to be reported. As already clear cell change has been associated to aggressive behavior of the lesion, AOT could be considered as a neoplasm after this finding.
Despite the ongoing debate on nomenclature, origin of AOT and its diversified histopathological nature, conservative surgical enucleation is the treatment modality of choice as its well established benign course and easy separation of the lesion from its bony crypt because of its thick capsule. ,,,,,, In the present case, though the defect was quite extensive, the surgeons followed the usual protocol of enucleation and closed the defect with bone regeneration graft material. Patient follow-up was done for a year which showed radiopaque areas in gradual follow-up with OPG confirming the reduction in bony defect.
Interestingly, the present case had unusual clinical and radiological findings features in contrast to most normal types of AOT supporting its neoplastic behavior. Firstly, in addition to large size with encroachment of maxillary sinus and lateral wall of nose, rapid growth indicates its aggressive behavior. Secondly, the lesion was associated with resorption of multiple teeth which is quite uncommon in AOT as very few similar cases have been reported. Thus, based on clinical findings of the present case indicating aggressive biological behavior, we support the hypothesis suggesting AOT as a neoplasm rather than cyst or hamartoma. Due to the clear cell changes observed, the patient was under customary follow-up for aggressive tendency or recurrence. To conclude though AOT might be under the scanner of controversies, the treatment irrespective of its size and origin remains the same and can be attributed to its capsular nature, but newer techniques considering its histopathological behavior shall be also well thought-out.

Building a Business is Hard; Realistic Expectations Can Help
As a business leader, you have a compelling vision for your company and want to inspire others to buy-in and follow you. But feeling obligated to put a positive spin on the struggle to succeed may not be the best way to prepare for the challenge, or to motivate others to join the fight.
In his book, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, venture capitalist, co-founder of Opsware and best-selling author Ben Horowitz, argues that realism and honesty can help entrepreneurs and business leaders dig in for battle and engage others in problem solving when things invariably get tough.
Horowitz is clear that he is not a fan of some of the most popular management and entrepreneurship books. Where most talk about how to set audacious and motivating goals, Horowitz says they are often silent on what to do when you fall well short of goals. Starting a company and even developing a product or service is often the easy part, he says. "But then you get into market and nobody wants it and it gets real hard real fast," he said in an interview with Stanford University.
Ditto for becoming a leader. Horowitz refers to being a "wartime" CEO trying to succeed in often combative, highly competitive environments where decisions have to be made in rapid fire and under a lot of uncertainty. "It's not natural, but as a CEO and as a manager, you have to evaluate people's performance, you have to correct them, you have to make sure they are on task — and you have to learn how to do that in a way that everybody doesn't hate you all the time," he says.
He admits to high anxiety and sleepless nights. "I would literally be up at 3 o'clock in the morning and think, why didn't any of the management books I have read help at all?" he shared in an interview with TechCrunch.
Where to turn
Despite the challenges, Horowitz has been radically successful; Opsware was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2007 and his venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz manages more than $4 billion in assets. Here are some key lessons from his School of Hard Knocks:
Build people skills. Most entrepreneurs don't lack technical know-how but can be weak on human interaction, Horowitz says. "People skills tend to be highly underestimated in terms of the ability to run a company," he says. "And what I mean by people skills is the ability to understand other people's motivations . . . how they are going to think about something and where they are coming from and how to relate to that in a way that gets you to the right conclusions about how to build an organization or build a company or make a deal . . ."
Remember lessons from being an employee. Think about the frustrations you have encountered working in larger organizations as an employee, such as slow and bureaucratic decision making, and root those issues out of your own business when you're calling the shots.
Tell it like it is and don't sugarcoat things. If you act more positive than the situation warrants, people will not believe you and will learn not to trust you. If you're facing a major challenge, share that information honestly with the people who need to know it – employees, investors etc. "My single biggest personal improvement as CEO occurred on the day when I stopped being too positive," Horowitz shares.
Expect to struggle and don't quit. "Every great entrepreneur from Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg went through the Struggle and struggle they did, so you are not alone," Horowitz writes in his book. If you can just survive through tomorrow, it may bring an answer you can't see today. What helps, he advises, is getting all hands on deck to share the burden and remembering that to be great requires meeting great challenges.
Stop looking for a silver bullet to magically fix a competitive disadvantage and focus instead on grinding out progress day after day that might enable you to beat the competition. He calls that using "lead bullets." Recalling a time when Opsware was struggling to regain market position, he says metaphorically, "We had to go through the front door and deal with the big, ugly guy blocking it. Lead bullets."
Hire people for specific strengths they have today. Howowitz argues that too often we select employees based on avoiding weaknesses rather than picking those who best capture the strengths we need right now. "The more experience you have," he writes, "the more you realize that there is something seriously wrong with every employee in your company (including you). Nobody is perfect."
If it were easy to found and grow a new business, Horowitz would have titled his book something like, From Entrepreneur to Easy Street. He called it The Hard Thing About Hard Things to counter what he sees as an over-reliance on positive thinking at the expense of developing realistic expectations and approaches that can help you weather the journey. Perhaps the most important lesson he offers is in his final advice: "Embrace the struggle."

Viewpoint – Indian Intellectuals Can't Accept Pakistan
Exposing the anti-Muslim attitude of Indian writers like Ramachandra Guha.
[Text by Ali Eteraz; picture by Muhammad Zaheer Mohsin]
On August 15, 2007, presumably to mark India's 60th birthday, the New York Times published an op-ed by Ramachandra Guha, a prominent Indian author. Titled India's Internal Partition, the article appeared to be a promising examination of Hindu-Muslim relations in India. Mr. Guha began with the events of 1990.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani journeyed for five weeks between Somnath and Ayodhya, making fiery speeches at towns and villages en route, denouncing the Indian government for "appeasing" the Muslims. In many places Mr. Advani visited, attacks on Muslims followed. In New Delhi, where I then lived, Mr. Advani's march represented a grave threat to the inclusive, plural, secular and democratic idea of India.
However, the reader is not treated to any meaningful discussion about India's "internal" matters whatsoever. In fact, as soon as the discussion about Indian-Muslims begins, Mr. Guha starts to discuss - Pakistan.
In his article, Mr. Guha is quick to invoke his Muslim friendly credentials by recalling his friendship with a Pakistani economist called Tariq Banuri. The latter was apparently the first Muslim Mr. Guha ever became "close" with. He also had dreams about Mr. Banuri during the Ayodhya crisis. Alas, the friendship did not leave any discernible positive residue.
When discussing Muslims in India, Mr. Guha states the oft-invoked trope that Muslims don't do anything but films, saying "but in law, medicine, business and the upper echelons of public service, Hindus dominated." An objective editorial about India's "internal" partition might have inquired why Muslims in India do not make it to the "upper-echelons" of Indian society. But why would Mr. Guha waste time with trivialities? After all, on the 60th anniversary of India , there is plenty of Pakistan bashing to be had. It comes soon enough.
As usual with prominent Indian intellectuals who are unable to accept that Indian Muslims are Indian and Pakistani Muslims are Pakistanis (and not Indians), Mr. Guha calls in Pakistan in this edit on India's Muslims. He recalls his visit to Badshahi Mosque in Lahore.
It was Friday evening, and a large crowd of worshipers was coming out after the weekly prayers. Walking against the flow, I had to jostle my way through.
As I bumped into one worshiper, I was seized by panic. In one pocket of my kurta lay my wallet; in the other, an exquisite little statue of the Hindu god Ganesh, dancing. I am not a believer, but this was my mascot, a gift from my sister, carried whenever I was separated from my wife and little children. What if it now fell out and was seized upon by the crowd? How would that turn out — an infidel discovered in a Muslim shrine, an Indian visitor illegally in Lahore?
Note the use of the terms "infidel" and "panic" and "seized upon by the crowd" (as if all Muslims crowd act as one). The term "shrine" is used to describe a mosque.
The fact is Mr. Guha is unwilling to accept that when he was in Pakistan, no one cared he was a Hindu, or had a dancing god in his pocket, or that he was from the upper-echelons of Indian society. In India, by virtue of being Hindu, he'd at least have been able to feel better than Indian Muslims. In Pakistan, deprived of recognition, and in desperate need for it, he resorted to a simpleton's victimization-complex.
As expected, Mr. Guha ends by predicting war between India and Pakistan.
Despite their shared culture, cuisine and love for the game of cricket, India and Pakistan have already fought four wars. And judging by the number of troops on their borders and the missiles and nuclear weapons to back them, they seem prepared to fight a fifth.
Mr. Guha has selective eyes. He sees only what he wants to see. There is no mention of the peace-initiatives initiated by President Musharraf; nothing on the cricket-diplomacy conducted over the last seven years (during which time Indian visitors were celebrated by Karachites and Lahoris).Mr. Guha ignores that there hasn't been any saber-rattling between India and Pakistan since a long time.
It is the anti-Muslim attitude of intellectuals like Mr. Guha which leads to enmity between Hindu and Muslim; and between Pakistan and India. India's Internal Partition reveals more about why Pakistan was necessary, and a good idea, than casting any positive impression of India.
[An earlier version of this article appeared at Jahane Rumi.]
The Line of Beauty said...
I fail to see the logic behind Mr Ali's conclusion that the article written by Ramchandra Guha is Anti Muslim. Is he anti muslim beacause he does not discuss India's "Internal" matters or because Mr Guha 'discusses' Pakistan. Allow me to say, weather people from pakistan like it or not, whenever we discuss India's independence, partitions can not be brushed under the carpet or the reasons why it pas partitioned.
How does a person become Anti-Muslim if he does not have any muslim amongst his 'close' friends??
Mr Guha is entitled to his opinion where he says muslims have done well only in films, which is not correct at all. But, that does not make him anti-muslim. I am not an authority on the subject but I can name people like Salman Haider, Ajeem Premji, A.P.J Abdul Kalaam, A.M Ahmadi, Md. Azahrudden who despite being muslim did very well in their field. ( can Pakistan ever think of making a Hindu or Non- muslim to head it's nuclear or missile program ??)
Now, regarding the last point where Mr. Guha is labelled an Anti Muslim because he chose words like 'panic' and 'seized upon' to express his feelings, isn't this not reading too much between th lines.
And lastly, The fact is Mr. Guha is unwilling to accept that when he was in Pakistan, no one cared he was a Hindu, or had a dancing god in his pocket, or that he was from the upper-echelons of Indian society Presumably, Mr Guha was not wandering the streets of Lahore In a Dhoti-Kurta with a 'tilak' mark on his forehead to feel out of place. And did no one care?? As far as reports In Indian media go, from which I form my opinion as i have yet to visit Pakistan: Pakistani's are very welcome and hospitable them moment they get to know you have arrived from India.Taxi drivers refuse to take fare, shop owners start giving discounts, and every one warms up to you.
Mr Ali, though suffering himself from selective perception, accuse others of the same. hasn't he read too much in the lines where ".... they seem prepared to fight a fifth. " Just because there has not been any sabre rattling in the past, is it safe to assume that we can't have a war. Surely, with 4.5% of GDP spent on army, pakistani establishment is not spending this money to prepare for finding out Osama's hideout. It takes two to tango, India is equally responsible in this arms race, but spare Mr. Guha for being responsible for this
What the Pakistani chauvinist who wrote this piece is unable to understand that no Pakistani set upon Mr. Guha because the Ganesha idol did not fall out from his pocket. If it had then things would have been difficult.
I disagree that Guha's article is anti-muslim. That being said, Guha is an idiot and a terrible, pompous writer. Pomposity is something that plagues many Indian writers.
Just went trough this article and I think we should not talk about General Musharaf's peace initiative, as from indian point of view he is not a person to be trusted as he was the mastermind behind Kargil as Vajpaee tried to initiate peace.
M not Anti Pakistan but Mush is not a person India would trust.
I wonder how it would have been if he had taken that idol out of his pocket (as long as it is in pocket, it is invisible to others). What if he had taken out that idol, kept it somewhere in public place and started worshipping in middle of others for a while. Would people stop him? I don't know.
Would people laugh at him for worshipping idol? Very likely.
m a v e r | c k said...
DOES RELIGION CONSTITUTE NATIONALITY??????????????????????????
I think this whole issue is just plain silly. Why would anyone beat that guy up if a ganesh idol fell out of his pocket. Would the indian public beat me up if I have Allah around my neck.
does anyone( from India) want to talk about babri mosque or anything......
Does anyone (from Pakistan) want to talk about the saggrigation of minorities......
India and pakistan are both equally evil in mistreating minorities.
Talking of Azharuddin or kalam does not mean that muslims are treated really well in India and you know that. Similarly talking of Justice Bhagwaan das and kaneria does not mean pakistan is great with the hindu minority either...
we all should be ashamed of ourselves.
sarah islam said...
I fail to see how Mr. guha's article is Anti Pakistan. For your information, author is thie piece, people who are in any way different (faith, colour or ethnicity) DO feel threatened. Pls. get off your jingoistic high horse and try to see things differently instead of reading every word and twisting it. You think Mr. Guha is anti Pakistan? take a look at some of your own media persons who are so bltantly anti Hindu that they would have felt right at home in th SS.

An objective editorial about India's "internal" partition might have inquired why Muslims in India do not make it to the "upper-echelons" of Indian society.
So typical of Pakistanis to assume that Muslims are secretly being conspired against, or held back by the hindus.
Another stupid comment by a Pakistani once asked, 'Why have there not been any Muslim Amry heads in India'.
Here's an open challenege if u have the guts to accept the truth. Find any indian muslim who says he was denied education or held back in promotions because he was a muslim. You will not be ale to find EVEN ONE.
If you talk to Indian muslims you will realize what a false belief you are living under (and which is so convenient for you to assume). They have much better living conditions and enjoy more freedom (in Indian Islamic Laws) than even Pakistani muslims.
-> Since the separation, the Population of Muslims in India has risen to 25%. While in pakistan it has reduced from 25% to 2%.
If you read in wikipedia, you will find that they were mercilessly killed. Hindu girls were kidnapped and forced to marry muslim men. Hindu women were also kidnapped.
On what lines can you compare the 'open mindedness' and secularism of India with Pakistan.
You always speak of Advani and Modi as starting anti-muslim movements in India and instigating hatred. Although that is true and I condemn it with my heart (and that is why they lost this current elections), what about people in your own country?
If in India you can name 10 such people, I can name a 100 in Pakistan. And the thing about peace talks being initiated by Musharraf are laughable. What about the foolish attack he made on India just before that?
I tend to think it is you who is being selective and utterly biased in what you want to see.

« CDC: 94 to 95 Percent of HIV Cases among Boys and Young Men Linked to Homosexual Sex
VIDEO: What Craig James Said that Got Him Fired at Fox Sports »
Keith Olbermann, Craig James and the Shocking Example of Double Standards
Former football star and TV announcer Craig James becomes the latest victim of intolerant, pro-homosexual liberal groupthink. In a 2012 GOP debate in Texas, James said America is in a moral crisis and that homosexuals will have to answer to God for practicing that sin.
TAKE ACTION: 1) Contact Fox Sports HERE about their firing of Craig James just because he voiced his Christian moral convictions during a GOP candidates debate. You can watch on YouTube what James said in 2012 HERE.; 2) Read the America's Survival in-depth report by AFTAH's Peter LaBarbera on Fox News' growing pro-homosexual bias and urge Fox to include more social and moral conservatives in its reporting and commentary; contact Fox HERE.
The excerpt below is from a terrific column by our good friend Michael Brown (author of A Queer Thing Happened to America), which was published today in Charisma magazine's website. Regarding Fox Sports' shameful firing of Craig James, I sent out these tweets this morning:
Watch out, Christians (and moral-minded people): The (Pro-) 'Gay' Thought Police are EVERYWHERE, and they WILL find you! #CraigJames
Craig James gets fired for saying homosexuality is sin. Dan Savage gets new MTV show after "redefining" Rick [Santorum's last name] as fecal matter.
Liberal intolerance is growing + it's not good for America. Craig James joins list of #Christians PUNISHED for expressing their faith.
As America rapidly de-Christianizes, it becomes more and more intolerant of biblical speech. God help us if we continue down this road of sexual immorality that has brought about the downfall of other great civilizations. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH; on Twitter @PeterLaBarbera; "Like" and follow AFTAH on Facebook
By Michael Brown, CharismaNews.com
So this is what our society has come to. Within a 10-day period, sportscaster Craig James was fired by Fox Sports for comments he had made against homosexuality during a political campaign last year while Keith Olbermann was lauded for his 9-minute anti-Russia, pro-homosexuality rant on ESPN. The double standards are as glaring as they are shocking.
As reported on Advocate.com, a leading gay website, "Keith Olbermann opened his ESPN show last night with a scathing rant against Russia's antigay laws and the International Olympic Committee's response to calls for a boycott of the Winter Games in Sochi.
"Olbermann's nine-minute tirade brilliantly pointed out the ridiculousness of recent comments by President Vladimir Putin—who has tried to claim Russia's so-called gay propaganda law is not homophobic."
But that's just the beginning. The column goes on: "Olbermann also highlighted the frightening similarities of the political climate surrounding the upcoming Winter Games regarding LGBT people and attitudes against other groups of people during the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin," pointing to America's pulling Jewish athlete Marty Glickman from the team.
What was the result? According to Olbermann, "Within three years Hitler was invading Czechoslovakia while America had an official policy of neutrality, and within five years Hitler was in mid-genocide."
Has Olbermann been disciplined for this? Publicly corrected? Censured in any way? (And remember, this was on a national ESPN show.) Not a chance.
Yet in April of this year, the perfectly acceptable comments from Chris Broussard on ESPN, responding to a direct question about Jason Collins, who had just come out as gay, drew a firestorm of criticism and controversy. Why the glaring double standard?
A Christian like Chris Broussard gets in very hot water for saying that he questions how Jason Collins can practice homosexuality and be a Christian at the same time (a position that is about 2,000 years old)—and this in a brief interchange where he was asked for his views directly—yet Keith Olbermann can go on a 9-minute overstated rant and there's hardly a word uttered about it (other than praise on gay websites).
Rhetoric like Olbermann's was completely over the top, regardless of how one views Russia's ban on the "promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among minors" along with other laws against "gay propaganda." (For the record, while I absolutely deplore and renounce all acts of violence against those who identify as LGBT, it is fair to ask what is so bad about a ban against the "promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among minors.")
And can Russia's recent laws really be compared to Hitler's genocidal acts against 6 million Jews (among others)? Where is the outcry over Olbermann's remarks?
As for Craig James, he was a college football standout and an NFL Pro-Bowler, a man praised by Fox Sports Southwest Executive Producer Mike Anastassiou as a "talented broadcaster who I've admired throughout his career."
Anastassiou added, "His knowledge of college football and the experience he brings as an analyst will be a tremendous asset to our coverage."
But immediately after being hired by this regional Fox outlet, James was fired because of comments he made during his political campaign last year. Yes, "after one day on the job—Fox gave James the boot for his conservative views on marriage. And here's the kicker: He made the comments not at the sports desk but during last year's Senate campaign!"
What exactly did James say? In answer to a direct question during the campaign, he expressed his opposition to same-sex "marriage," explaining that he didn't believe anyone was born gay (and therefore living a gay lifestyle was a choice) and stating, "They are going to have to answer to the Lord for their actions."
As reported by Sports Illustrated, "Fox Sports executives were not happy with the hire by the regional network, according to sources, and the hire had not been fully vetted at the highest levels of Fox Sports management."
According to a Fox spokesman, "We just asked ourselves how Craig's statements would play in our human resources department. He couldn't say those things here."
Come again? In the workplace, he would not be allowed to say he opposed gay marriage? He would not be allowed to say he didn't believe people were born gay? He would not be allowed to say that practicing homosexuals would have to answer to the Lord for their actions (as would a whole lot of heterosexuals as well, based on James' beliefs)?

Harry Kurt Victor Mulisch (Haarlem, Nizozemska, 29. srpnja 1927. – Amsterdam, 30. listopada 2010.) smatrao se jednim od najvažnijih poslijeratnih nizozemskih pisaca. Zajedno s W.F. Hermansom i Gerardom Reveom činio je Veliku trojku (De Grote Drie) nizozemske poslijeratne književnosti. Pisao je romane, drame, eseje, poeme i filozofske refleksije.

Životopis

Mulisch je rođen u Haarlemu i živi u Amsterdamu od 1958., nakon smrti svoga oca Kurta Victora Karla Mulischa (koji je emigrirao u Nizozemsku poslije Prvog svjetskog rata). Otac mu je za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata radio za jednu njemačku banku koja se između ostalog bavila i konfiskacijom imovine Židova. Njegova majka, Alice Schwarz, bila je Židovka. Mulisch i njegova majka izbjegli su transportaciju u koncentracijski logor zahvaljujući njegovom ocu, koji je kolaborirao s Nacistima. Zbog svih čudesnih događaja koje je već od malih nogu prošao tvrdio je da je on Drugi svjetski rat. Najviše ga je odgajala sobarica njegovih roditelja, Frieda Falk.

Tematika

Česta tema njegovih djelâ je Drugi svjetski rat. Zbog suradnje s Nijemcima za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata otac mu je nakon završetka rata bio osuđen na tri godine zatvora. Slučaj 40/61 (De Zaak 40/61) naziv je reportaže sa suđenja Adolfu Eichmannu u Jeruzalemu.

Mulisch često koristi antičke legende (npr. De elementen), židovski misticizam (u De ontdekking van de Hemel i De Procedure), dobro poznate urbane legende i politiku (Mulisch je politički lijevo orijentiran, posebice braneći Fidela Castra i Kubansku revoluciju). Mulischa čita širok spektar ljudi.

Mulisch je postao međunarodno priznat nakon ekraniziranja njegovog romana De Aanslag (Atentat) 1986. godine. Film je dobio Oscara i Zlatni globus za najbolji strani film i bio je preveden na više od 20 jezika.

Pored mnogih nagrada koje je dobio za pojedine knjige kako i za cjelokupni rad, sigurno najvažnija je "De Prijs der Nederlandse Letteren" (Nagrada nizozemske književnosti), koju je dobio 1995.

Zanimljivosti

Asteroid 10251 Mulisch je nazvan njemu u čast u listopadu 2006. Njegov odgovor na to bio je: "Nu ben ik in de hemel" ("Sada sam na nebu") te da je posebno polaskan jer se čak i dobitnici Nobelove nagrade znaju zaboraviti, ali nebeska tijela ne.

9 March 2020 Eurovision 2020 Netherlands by Anthony Granger
The Netherlands: To Perform in Position 23 in The Grand Final
The Netherlands have been drawn to perform in position 23 in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.
The running order in which the host nation of the Netherlands will perform at Eurovision 2020 has been determined. The Netherlands who are being represented by Jeangu Macrooy will perform in slot 23 in the Grand Final. The slot was drawn at random during the Heads of Delegation meeting today in Rotterdam.
The results for slot 23 in the Grand Final for the past 10 years are as follows:
2019 – 4th – 364 points
2018 – 18th – 121 points
2015 – 11th – 51 points
2014 – 2nd – 238 points
The Netherlands are being represented by Jeangu Macrooy with the song "Grow". He was internally selected to represent the Netherlands on home soil in May.
Who is Jeangu Macrooy?
Jeangu was born in Suriname and moved to the Netherlands in 2014. He is known for his 'modern soul' sound and has been a regular guest on De Wereld Draait Door where he has performed covers and his own music. He has released three albums to date, and last year headlined his first tour of Germany.

The Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest
The Netherlands debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956 and has gone on to compete in all bar four contests. To date the Netherlands has won the contest on five occasions; 1957, 1959, 1969, 1975 and most recently 2019. Prior to Duncan Laurence's victory in Tel Aviv, the Netherlands had been waiting 44 years for their next victory. Duncan Laurence won the contest in Israel with the song "Arcade".

I spent some time recently trying to track down how to create a database and datasource in ColdFusion without going into the ColdFusion Adminstrator interface and doing in manually. I found plenty of articles and documentation on how this was done in ColdFusion 5 and notes that it had changed but nothing on how. Now that I've got it working I'd like to share how I did it in case anyone else is looking for help with this.


Answering the question "How much do I need to save for retirement?" requires you to estimate how much you think you could live on after you retire. But, don't forget about inflation.
If you think you could live on $75,000 based on today's prices, what would that be equivalent to 20 years from now? We can't predict exactly what inflation will be in the future, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't include inflation in your planning.
For example, let's say you plan to retire in 20 years. If we assume that inflation will be an annual 2%, then to maintain the same spending habits that a yearly income of $75,000 affords you today, your starting income at retirement would need to be $111,446.
So, I hope you can see why it's important to consider inflation when you're planning for retirement. If you are using the Retirement Annuity Calculator, this is something you'll need to consider.
You can use our simple Inflation Calculator to try some of your own calculations. For the example above, you'd enter 75000 as the Present Value, 20 years, and 2% for the rate, then press Calculate. The calculations are also pretty simple to do using Excel formulas. So, check out the Inflation Calculator page for information about the Excel formulas and to download a basic spreadsheet that demonstrates them.
What Annual Inflation Rate Should I Assume?
Take a look at the graph below from wikimedia.org that shows the U.S. Inflation Rate.
To pick an average inflation rate to use for future estimates would require you to make some estimate about where you think the economy is headed. We're currently in a period of low inflation (1-2%), but inflation has frequently been over 5%. You could eyeball the above graph to pick a rough average inflation rate, but there is also a way to calculate an average.
First, let's use the Inflation Calculator from bls.gov to find out that $50,000 in 1979 has the same buying power as $147,752.75 does in 2009. That calculation uses historical inflation rates.
To calculate an average annual inflation rate for that period using the Vertex42 Inflation Calculator, enter $50,000 as the Present Value, $147,752.75 as the Future value, and 30 for the number of years. The answer is 3.677%.
This approach is a lot easier than calculating the geometric mean directly from the historical data. Below are a few more historical average inflation rates.
So, based on these calculations, my use of 2% in the example above might actually be a little too optimistic.

With the season opener a week from tomorrow in Minnesota, the Indians roster is starting to come to form, as the team already sent one of the surprises of the spring, outfielder Oscar Mercado, to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, and today Terry Francona announced a couple more moves for the team.
The club has informed two veterans brought in, infielder Ryan Flaherty and righty relief pitcher Justin Grimm that they both will not make the Major League roster.
Flaherty played in 17 games, hitting .243 with a pair of homers and eight runs batted in. The 32-year-old hit .217 last year in 81 games with the Atlanta Braves.
He won't take a minor league deal with the Tribe, and instead will become a free agent.
Grimm had a 1.04 ERA in 8.2 innings this spring as he looked to win a spot in the teams' bullpen. Last season Grimm pitched with both the Royals and Mariners.
Right handed pitcher Alex Wilson was also told on Wednesday based on current projections he will not be making the Opening Day roster.
Wilson had looked good this spring, in eight games he carried a .216 ERA and teams were hitting .176 against him.
Francona also announced that the team has released relief pitcher Tyler Clippard from his contract and re-signed to another Minor League deal; he will remain in MLB camp with the club rehabbing pectoral injury.
The injury to Clippard took place back on March 9th, and it was announced five days ago that he would be shut down for 3-4 weeks as he works his way back from the pec injury.
Finally the team reassigned righty pitcher A.J. Cole to Minor League camp. This spring Cole allowed four earned runs in eight innings, sporting a 4.50 ERA.

Privacy Policy provides transparent information in relation to the "life cycle of personal information," such as the information collected by NAVER, how the collected information is used, with whom the information is shared when necessary, and when and how the information is destroyed once it fully serves its purpose.
Privacy Policy informs users, the information subjects, their rights regarding their personal information as well as the methods and procedures to exercise such rights. Guidelines are also provided for the rights that legal representatives (including parents, etc.) may exercise to protect the personal information of minors under the age of 14.
Where the privacy infringement takes place, Privacy Policy guides you who to contact and what kind of help you should expect in order to prevent further damage and restore the damage you have already sustained.
Above all, it defines the rights and duties of NAVER and users in relation to personal information and a means to guarantee the Right to Informational Self-determination among users.
Users may access the majority of NAVER services in a manner equivalent to members, such as information searches and viewing news articles without any need to subscribe as members.
When a user subscribes to use personalized or membership services such as e-mail, calendar, cafe, blog, and more, NAVER collects the minimum amount of personal information needed for him/her to use such services.
The personal information that NAVER collects from users at the time they sign up for membership is as follows.
When a user signs up for membership, his/her ID, password, name, date of birth, gender, and mobile phone number are collected as required fields. If the date of birth entered by the user shows that he/she is a minor under 14 years of age, the information (name, date of birth, gender, and duplication information (DI), mobile phone number) on his/her legal representative is additionally collected. Then, his/her email address is collected as optional field.
If a user signs up for membership with a group ID, the group ID, password, group name, email address and mobile phone number are collected as required fields. The group representative's name is also collected as an optional field.
Additional description on the personal information collected upon membership subscription 내용 더보기/닫기
(1) Differences between required and optional items
Required items refer to information necessary to perform the essential functionalities of the service, while optional items refer to additional information collected to provide additional value to users, although they do not affect the service use itself. The ID and password collected at the time of membership subscription are information necessary for login, while the name, date of birth, and gender are used to classify users according to the operation of the membership service. Mobile phone numbers authenticated for subscription are collected to apply restrictions on use, etc. when users attempt to sign up for illegal purposes, such as posting illegal advertisements. Users are not subject to any restriction on their membership subscription or service use even through the optional items are not entered, and if necessary, users may enter such information afterwards at 'NAVER My Info > Member Info > Contact'.
(2) Why the information of legal representatives are collected
When collecting personal information of a minor under the age of 14, a company is required to obtain consent from his/her legal representatives (guardian of the minor such as his/her parents) in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act. Therefore, at the time of collecting personal information of a minor under the age of 14, NAVER obtains consent from his/her legal representative, during which the name, DI, and mobile phone number (only for mobile authentication) of the legal representative are collected. The information of the legal representative collected is destroyed at the time the minor turns an adult.
(3) Whether group information is recognized as personal information
Personal information defined by the Personal Information Protection Act is 'information about a living individual'. Therefore, information about a corporation or group, such as the group name, business address and phone number, or the representative's name, is not, in principle, personal information. The majority of information collected upon subscription with a NAVER group ID does not fall within the scope of personal information. However, in the case of a sole proprietor, it is ambiguous to only handle them as group information, and the contact information of the manager or the person in charge is collected, and therefore, this Privacy Policy provides information on collecting group information to help users understand.
Personal information collected from users during their service use is as follows.
Your profile information (nickname, profile picture) can be set in your member information or individual services. When a nickname is not entered, the masked ID will be automatically entered as the nickname.
Additional personal information may be collected only from users who access individual services within NAVER, participate in an event, or register for a giveaway event. In addition, when collecting additional personal information, the users are provided with further guidance regarding the 'collected items of personal information, purposes of collecting and using personal information, and the retention period of personal information' at the time of collecting such personal information and are asked to provide their consent.
Cases where additional personal information is collected upon user consent Check Status on the Use of Personal Information (My Info)
The IP address, cookies, service usage records, device information, and location information may be generated and collected during service use.
In addition, images or voice data may also be collected from search services using images and voice data.
To be specific, 1) information about users is generated in an automated manner and stored (collected) during their service use or 2) the unique device information of users is safely converted to prevent the original values from being identified and such converted information is then collected. Location information may be collected during the service use, and the location-based service provided by NAVER is regulated in details in the "Terms of Location-Based Service".
The collected information may correspond to personal information or not, depending on whether it is linked to personal information.

(1) Differences between provision and entrustment of personal information
The provision of personal information to third parties means the personal information is provided for the business purpose and benefit of the recipient. After the personal information is provided, it is processed under the responsibility of the recipient. For this reason, in order to provide personal information to third parties, the users are notified in advance of the 'parties to be provided with personal information, the purpose of using personal information by the parties to be provided with personal information, items of personal information provided, and the period during which personal information is retained and used by the parties to be provided with personal information' and are asked to provide their consent. The entrusted processing of personal information means entrusting personal information to the outside to process the work of the provider. Even after personal information is provided, the party who has provided personal information, the entrusting party, remains responsible for the management/supervision of the entrusted party.
(2) Entrusted work that requires user's consent and entrusted work that may be disclosed/notified in satisfaction of user's consent
The entrusted processing of personal information necessary for performing contracts on service provision and promoting user convenience may be notified to users through email or other means or disclosed in the Privacy Policy in satisfaction of obtaining consent. In addition, in relation to the entrusted processing of personal information, the Entrusted Parties and Work must be notified to users and their consent must be obtained. NAVER discloses entrusted processing of personal information necessary for infrastructure operations, service development and testing, service operations, customer consultation, payment processing, and identify verification, in satisfaction of obtaining consent.
