Q: How to automate facebook registration page using selenium? I tried to Automate the Facebook page In selenium using credentials it works. (It automatically login into Facebook.)
But I am not able to do the same thing with the Registration page on Facebook. It has some kind of pop up page to register (https://www.facebook.com/), If someone is able to do it please let me know.
[registration page 1

A: This is worst practice in selenium automation
For multiple reasons, logging into sites like Gmail and Facebook using WebDriver is not recommended. Aside from being against the usage terms for these sites (where you risk having the account shut down), it is slow and unreliable.
The ideal practice is to use the APIs that email providers offer, or in the case of Facebook the developer tools service which exposes an API for creating test accounts, friends, and so forth. Although using an API might seem like a bit of extra hard work, you will be paid back in speed, reliability, and stability. The API is also unlikely to change, whereas webpages and HTML locators change often and require you to update your test framework.
Logging in to third-party sites using WebDriver at any point of your test increases the risk of your test failing because it makes your test longer. A general rule of thumb is that longer tests are more fragile and unreliable.
WebDriver implementations that are W3C conformant also annotate the navigator object with a WebDriver property so that Denial of Service attacks can be mitigated.

Department of Islamic Philosophy and Theology
Monday 9/7/2020
With the rise of Islam and the particular attention of Islam to rationality, Islamic philosophy and theology grew among the Muslim thinkers. Islamic scholars, inspired by the teachings of Allah and taking advantage of the findings of past philosophers, developed what is now known as the Islamic Philosophy and Theology. As one of the oldest fields of humanities, the field of Islamic Philosophy and Theology is aimed to acquaint the young generation with the intellectual and philosophical heritage of Iran and Islam. It is, also, determined to spread the intellectual and philosophical beliefs in preparation for interdisciplinary researches.
The Department of Islamic Philosophy and Theology was established in 2010 and offers graduate programs.

In the race for 'most requested' status, we'd be hard pressed to name a product you've loved – and asked for – more than this t-shirt vest. A perennial summer classic, garment washed for extra softness, the easy fit and sensible coverage (keeps straps under wraps) are the stuff of legend. Time to refresh your supply!


Nowadays there is an increasingly wide range of edibles on the market for both medical and recreational use. We take a look at some of the top contenders.
Many people aren't just smoking marijuana anymore they are eating it too. Since the legalization of marijuana, the market for edibles is rapidly changing. Consuming marijuana is beneficial for those looking for the medicinal benefits, and can be fun for those using it recreationally because of the countless ways you can eat it.
Consuming cannabis has medicinal purposes such as reducing nausea and vomiting for those going through chemotherapy, it has offered relief of symptoms for people with HIV/AIDS, and has been used to treat chronic pain and several neurological disorders.
From brownies to salsas, to candies like fudges, caramels, and hard candy, there are many ways to get therapeutic effects without smoking cannabis, or have a bit of fun recreationally.
Voted first place in the "Best Edible" category of the 2014 San Francisco High Times Cannabis Cup, this Madame Munchie ranks high on our list. The owners, a California native and a Parisian, combine the gourmet aspect of French pastries with California grown cannabis. These delectable macarons show marijuana's fancy side while providing medicine for patients. Try all five delicious flavors: Hazelnut Mocha, citrus almond, chocolate banana, pistachio, and Grilled PB&J. Each macaron is quite low in THC compared to other edibles dosed with 20mg of THC, giving the box of five a total of 100mg of THC.
Organic OC is another California company based out of Orange County. Interested in trying a variety of products? This may be the place to go. From gummies, to hard candy, cookies, brownies and more! Products are organic and lab tested with quality cannabis at an affordable cost and with the great customer service experience.
Need something to quench your thirst? Legal is a refreshing beverage created by Mirth Provisions in Washington. This one-of-a-kind concoction is a sparkling tonic drink made with water, fruit, agave and cannabis extract. There are three flavors each featuring a different strain of cannabis. The sativa, indica and hybrid cannabis extract deliver the same buzz every time, so you can trust the quality and consistency of the product from one batch to the next.
Are you a chocolate lover? Then you will love Kushie Kandy. With over 50 flavors of chocolate bars to choose from, this company provides the tasty, effective, and consistent cannabis-infused products. With locations in California, Michigan and Oregon, this company that was founded in 2012 have grown tremendously.
In 2008, a San Francisco company, Auntie Dolores began cooking up infused gourmet foods. The name of the company is quite cool – it's not just named after Dolores Park, but has some Latin background. In Latin, Dolore means pain, so "Auntie Dolores" can also mean "Anti-Pain". Clever!
With a focus on health, healing, and a gourmet experience, this company carries many products to fit all needs. More of a savory person than sweet? Check out their pretzels, popcorn, cheese biscuits and chili-lime peanuts. They also have a variety of cookies, brownies and other treats for anyone with a sweet tooth. Some of their products are vegan, Paleo, gluten free, non-gmo, sugar free, and low glycemic, so it can literally suit any dietary need. Not to mention they have a line just for pets called Treatibles. Check it out!
These are some of the top 5 edible companies out there. There are many more to check out. However, some companies only serve patients who have a medical marijuana card and have been recommended by a doctor. However, you can always check out some of the recipes on our website to make some homemade edibles. Check out one of our favorites Spicy Spinach, Kale, and Artichoke Dip.

Jaskier goes to "a darker place" in "The Witcher" season 2
Who will toss a coin to your Jaskier? Netflix's fantasy series returns just in time for the holidays
By Dan Selcke
Published December 16, 2021 7:41PM (EST)
Joey Batey as Jaskier on "The Witcher"	(Susie Allnut/Netflix)
This story originally appeared on Winter is Coming.
"The Witcher" became an instant hit when the first season came out on Netflix in 2019, for a lot of reasons. There was the dark fantasy vibe from Andrzej Sapkowski's books, the charismatic lead performance from Henry Cavill, the the special effects and sets . . . but the thing that went most viral was the song from the second episode, "Toss a Coin to your Witcher," sung by the bard Jaskier. That thing was everywhere for a minute.
Joey Batey, who plays Jaskier, will be back for season 2, and apparently things are going to be a mite more serious for him this time. Speaking to Metro at the show's red carpet premiere, Batey said that the second season will "push Jaskier to a darker place."
He feels more emotionally vulnerable, open, engaged, he's also braver. For the first time he's risking his life to do something that is morally good, which is perhaps the first time he's done this in his life, so that was really rewarding.
In the first season 1 Jaskier was mostly around for comic relief, and I'm sure that will continue, but Batey says that he becomes more of a "three-dimensional character" in season 2, one who's "textured and layered and perhaps a little more detailed."
We get to see Jaskier in his element, and then we get to see him very suddenly not in his element, and that wrong footing and that sort of feeling of being out of place and out of time in some points ends him in some real trouble. That's the stuff that I found most difficult and most challenging to play, but also is the most rewarding I think.
The Witcher season 2 finale will be "epic"
The second season of "The Witcher" will adapt "Blood of Elves," the first book in his series to read more like a novel than a collection of short stories, and apparently that will allow for one heck of an "epic" climax. Batey said he felt "worn out" by the finale.
It feels like an ordeal and an endeavor. These characters are going through some big stuff, and I think that's hopefully what's going to be imparted on the audience. It's something that I'm really excited for the audience to experience.
And if the second season is a success, and there's no reason to think it won't be, Batey promises more to come. "[W]e're off and we're only just getting started."
"The Witcher" season 2 comes out in its entirety on Netflix on Dec. 17. Pray for Jaskier.

Remember the classics
By Scott Lemieux
The new cohort of wingnuts entering Congress is so kooky and reactionary we tend to lose sight of the similarly reactionary and kooky crackpots who have been around forever:
Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe told a female Environmental Protection Agency nominee on Wednesday that if she did not "behave," then "I'm going to talk to your daddy."The awkward exchange was during Radhika Fox's confirmation hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee to be the assistant administrator for the EPA's Office of Water. Fox currently serves in the role on an acting basis and is the Office of Water's principal deputy assistant administrator.During the hearing, Inhofe, a Republican senator from Oklahoma, asked Fox about the Trump administration's changes to the Obama-era Waters of the United States rule, or WOTUS, which extended federal authority and protections to streams and wetlands but that others felt was government overreach.As Fox was answering, Inhofe interrupted her, explaining that he didn't mean to, but needed to use his remaining time to ask questions of the other two Biden administration nominees at the hearing.
"I appreciate your comments particularly in your opening statement, I enjoyed that," Inhofe told Fox. "And so I will look forward to working with you." "And if you don't behave, I'm going to talk to your daddy," he added, to which Fox then laughed.
Well, in Jim Inhofe's eyes being a woman, a person of color and not being a climate denier is definitely strike 3.

AUDIO: The Grand Betelgeuse Hotel must be referenced
Betelgeuse was a planet mentioned by the Fourth Doctor. When Davros revived and demanded to know what had happened while he was in suspended animation, the Doctor told him that Arcturus had won the Galactic Olympic Games with Betelgeuse coming in second. (TV: Destiny of the Daleks)
According to the Fourth Doctor, the official papal seat of the Catholic Church was situated in the Betelgeuse system by 3278. (PROSE: Managra)
The Terpsivores, a centipede-like race, came from Betelgeuse. (COMIC: Death Disco)
According to Ian Chesterton, it was a name of a star visible from Earth. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
Professor Chronotis owned a travel guide to it, entitled Alternative Betelgeuse. (PROSE: Shada)
Jackie Tyler once referred to this as a planet the Ninth Doctor might travel to. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy)
Betelgeuse was also a planet in script editor Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. In the real world, its name belongs to a star.

(London, Ontario) – The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) announced today that Fanshawe Men's Volleyball student-athlete Cole Jordan (London, ON) was named the 2017-18 OCAA Male Athlete of the Year. This is the second consecutive year where the Fanshawe Male Athlete of the Year is also the OCAA Male Athlete of the Year (Seth Marcaccio, Cross Country).
Jordan was named the OCAA Men's Volleyball Player of the Year and was the OCAA Scoring Champion, as he averaged 4.8 points per set during the 2017-18 regular season. The third-year outside hitter led all West Division players with 244 points and 201 kills. His contributions were a major factor in Fanshawe going undefeated with an 18-0 record. Jordan was also named an OCAA West Division First-Team All-Star.
Jordan and the Falcons continued their dominance in the OCAA post-season, winning 12 straight sets to claim their second provincial title in three years. Jordan contributed a match-high 17 points on 14 kills, two stuff blocks and one service ace in a sweep of Fleming in the OCAA quarter-final. He then tied for the match lead in points with a baker's dozen on 12 kills and a block in Fanshawe's semifinal win over eventual bronze medalist Redeemer. He contributed eight kills and an ace in Fanshawe's three-set gold medal victory over Humber. For his efforts, Jordan was named an OCAA Championship All-Star.
The Falcons then competed in the CCAA Men's Volleyball National Championship, where they claimed the National Silver Medal. Jordan was recognized as Fanshawe's Player of the Match in the quarter-final and was named a CCAA Championship First-Team All-Star.
"Cole led our Men's Volleyball program this season by displaying tremendous character, commitment and drive", said Nathan McFadden, Manager of Fanshawe Athletics. "He is an exceptional student-athlete who leads by example and continues to push his own limits. He had a dominant season and showed his teammates the attributes that it takes to be an All-Canadian while leading our team to an OCAA Championship and their best CCAA finish ever."

About Christine Fellows
Although born in Windsor, Ontario, Christine Fellows has been a globetrotter for many years. Raised in France and also Kelowna, British Columbia, the signer had a variety of odd jobs, including planting trees during summers before finding her niche, in 1993, in Winnipeg. While there, Fellows discovered the blossoming independent music scene and became an integral part of it. In 1993, she formed her first group, Helen, which was reported to be the "next big thing" out of Winnipeg. But the band broke up. In 1996, Fellows teamed up with singer/songwriter Keri McTighe to form Special Fancy. The group released one album, King Me, before breaking up. Tired of failed attempts in the music business, Fellows finally broke through, releasing her debut album, 2 little birds, in 2000. In March 2002, Fellows released The Last One Standing on Six Shooter Records. The singer has won several awards, as well as the praise of fans and critics. She has also performed with Veda Hille, the Weakerthans, and the Rheostatics. ~ Jason MacNeil

Recent studies demonstrate the discovery of putative disease subtypes from gene expression data. The underlying computational problem is to partition the set of sample tissues into statistically meaningful classes. In this paper we present a novel approach to class discovery and develop automatic analysis methods. Our approach is based on statistically scoring candidate partitions according to the overabundance of genes that separate the different classes. Indeed, in biological datasets, an overabundance of genes separating known classes is typically observed. we measure overabundance against a stochastic null model. This allows for highlighting subtle, yet meaningful, partitions that are supported on a small subset of the genes. Using simulated annealing we explore the space of all possible partitions of the set of samples, seeking partitions with statistically significant overabundance of differentially expressed genes. We demonstrate the performance of our methods on synthetic data, where we recover planted partitions. Finally, we turn to tumor expression datasets, and show that we find several highly pronounced partitions.

Home > United Kingdom > EMSA proposes further postponement to February 2022 to the implementation of new regulatory technical standards for CSDR
EMSA proposes further postponement to February 2022 to the implementation of new regulatory technical standards for CSDR
By Hannah Meakin (UK), Jochen Vester (UK), Arup Sen and Clarinda Grundy on September 1, 2020 Posted in Financial Institutions, Financial Services, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, United Kingdom
On 26 August the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published its final report relating to the postponement of the effective date of new regulatory technical standards (RTS) on settlement discipline pursuant to Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR).
The RTS was initially planned to come into force on 13 September 2020, but in May 2020 it was approved by the European Commission that this would be delayed until 1 February 2020. This was based on feedback from market participants that the original date would be premature given that other significant regulatory changes were to be implemented at the same time.
The new RTS will require significant IT system changes, market testing and adjustments to legal arrangements. Therefore, it has since been acknowledged by ESMA that the revised date has now become unachievable in light of the extensive global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. ESMA has thus proposed a further one year postponement of the effective date of the RTS, to 1 February 2022.
As a next step, this further delay to implementation will be proposed to the European Commission for their review and endorsement. Once the amendment to the date of enforcement of the RTS on settlement discipline has been adopted by the European Commission, there will be a period of non-objection from the European Parliament and Council before the change is published in the Official Journal.

La Fondazione Sigma-Tau est une institution qui a pour objet la promotion et le partage des connaissances scientifiques et le dialogue interdisciplinaire entre les divers savoirs.

Objet
La Fondazione Sigma-Tau a été créée sous la forme d'une Entité morale et reconnue juridiquement aux termes du DPR  du 4 août 1986, elle est présidée par Silvia Cavazza et représente une référence nationale et internationale dans le développement de la recherche dans le débat culturel et la promotion du progrès scientifique en introduisant pour la première fois les concepts de globalité et de complexité propres aux sciences humaines.
La Fondation Sigma-Tau promeut les activités d'approfondissement et de divulgation du type séminaires, conférences, cours, tables rondes et spectacles, en collaboration avec des universités, des instituts de recherche et le monde de la culture et de la science.

Projets
Depuis 1989, la Fondazione Sigma-Tau a donné vie à de gros projets et à de nombreuses conférences et rencontres dont sont nés un grand nombre de publications, en particulier avec la maison d'édition Laterza de Bari qui a publié les ouvrages du cycle Lezioni Italiane et les Actes de SpoletoScienza.

SpoletoScienza
Faisant figure de précurseur des divers festivals dans le domaine de la littérature ou de la philosophie, lieu par excellence de diffusion culturelle, SpoletoScienza a vu le jour en 1989 sous la forme d'une division s'ajoutant au panel du Festival des deux mondes, en ouvrant un débat au titre apparemment simple, mais riche en personnalités représentant le monde scientifique et intellectuel, à savoir : Qu'est-ce que la connaissance? Cet évènement offre au public à la fois un panorama et une anticipation des curiosités et des tendances de la pensée du moment.
Dans les espaces du cloître de Saint Nicolas, les noms les plus importants du savoir scientifique et de la créativité artistique mondiale se retrouvent pour comparer les procédures et les langages respectifs.
Les arguments abordés sont les suivants : du débat sur Esprit, Corps et Langage: qu'en pensent les… robots? en 2003, à l'Enquête sur le futur de Gaia qui traite du changement climatique de la planète organisé en 2006, suivi l'année suivante par un symposium sur La science à l'ère de la communication numérique, et jusqu'aux éditions 2009-2010 concentrées sur les thèmes de l'énergie, de la maladie et du vieillissement.

Laboratoire de la Fondation Sigma-Tau
Actif de 1996 à 2006 comme lieu d'approfondissement de SpoletoScienza, le Laboratoire s'occupe non seulement des éléments démarquant et qualifiant la profession médicale, mais aussi des aspects les plus sensibles dans le domaine des pathologies qui affligent l'organisme humain, en les étudiant en particulier du point de vue métabolique et énergétique.
Les tables rondes du Laboratoire de la Fondation Sigma-Tau ont été conçues, souvent y compris à travers la création de groupes de travail et de jeux de rôle, en vue de l'enrichissement et de la diffusion des connaissances sur des thèmes telles que la relation médecin-patient et la gestion des erreurs en médecine, le cancer comme syndrome métabolique, mais aussi la vérification des modèles de gestion financière du Système sanitaire national.

Lectures italiennes
S'inspirant du modèles des lectures anglo-américaines et paraphrasant Italo Calvino, le projet des Lezioni italiane (Lectures italiennes), mis en route en 1991, prévoit un séminaire informel en athénium avec un savant italien ou étranger qui, dans un langage non technique, introduit un thème à la limite entre recherche scientifique et philosophie, conformément aux directives européennes sur la formation continue. Le projet a produit en moyenne par an deux titres publiés par les éditions Laterza, également traduits à l'étranger.

Forum permanent sur les raisons de la science
Inauguré en 1999 par une Table ronde intitulée Biotechnologies des cellules germinales – opportunités et limites, le Forum a pour objet le développement en Italie d'un débat sur les retombées sociales de la recherche scientifique à travers une confrontation contribuant à une meilleure compréhension des choix faits et à leur communication.

La science en scène
Le projet est le fruit d'une intuition de Luca Ronconi, alors directeur du Piccolo Teatro di Milano avec Sergio Escobar, et dérivait de l'exigence d'un renouvellement de la dramaturgie à travers un véritable défi intellectuel. Il débuta en 1999 par l'élaboration théâtrale et la mise en scène de textes scientifiques pour se révéler immédiatement, comme l'a affirmé Giulio Giorello, professeur titulaire de Philosophie de la science à l'université Statale de Milan, comme : « l'un des moyens les plus puissants pour prendre en compte les transformations naturelles et techniques de la réalité et l'une des opportunités les plus extraordinaires pour mettre sur pied une communauté véritablement universelle ».

Leçons sur la médecine de la complexité
Un symposium international organisé à Milan sur l'interaction entre le système métabolique et l'ADN des cellules marque la naissance, en 1999, du projet de Leçons sur la Médecine de la complexité visant à la bonne compréhension des perspectives actuelles et innovantes dérivant de l'approche métabolique à la maladie dans le domaine de la recherche sur les pathologies dégénératives et sur les limitations des dommages liés au vieillissement. En novembre 2010, 11 ans après, le projet a célébré le Mitochondrial DNA Day par un congrès auquel était présent Masashi Tanaka, le directeur du Core Research Team of Genomics for Longevity and Health de l'Institut métropolitain de gérontologie à Tokyo.

ECM, Éducation continue en médecine
Dans la période allant de 2002 à 2006, la Fondazione Sigma-Tau a institué un programme de formation continue en médecine pour la formation et la mise à niveau professionnelle des acteurs de la santé publique et privée avec 150 crédits pédagogiques.

Émission radio: Moebius
Le thème central de la communication scientifique promu par la Fondazione Sigma-Tau a été reçu de façon stable dans les actualités scientifiques de Radio 24 par le programme radiophonique Moebius on air.

Derniers projets
Inauguré en 2010, le Carnitina Official Site est l'une des sources d'informations en ligne les plus importantes sur la carnitine au niveau mondial. Promu par la Fondazione Gianni Benzi et par la Fondazione Sigma-Tau, le site est .

Cortes Besieges Tenochtitlan
When Cortes had sent off the three divisions of his army who were to blockade the City of Mexico, he followed across the lake as admiral of the fleet which he called "the key of the war." There were twelve vessels—one of the thirteen had been found a bad sailer—each carrying a heavy gun. Their crews numbered three hundred Spaniards, half sailors and half marines. Cortes had picked out for this service men who had been brought up on the seacoast in Spain, although some of them were nobles and did not much relish what they considered menial occupation.
As the fleet approached the southern shore of the lake, it passed under a high precipice held by the Aztecs, who rained down such a shower of stones and arrows on the vessels that Cortes ordered his marines ashore to storm the place. With their admiral at their head, they drove all before them and utterly destroyed the Aztec garrison.
But in the meantime the beacon blazing on top of the hill already told the Mexicans that the Spanish fleet was afloat. As the men regained their vessels, they saw the water before them dark with hundreds of Indian canoes paddling from the City of Mexico across the lake to attack the brigantines.
Just then the wind dropped. To Cortes it meant calamity, for he knew that if he lost his first sea fight, the Indians would lose their awe of his "water-houses."
There was nothing to do, however, but to await calmly the attack of the savages.
The canoes came on until, just out of range, they halted and lay on their oars as if debating what to do next. While they waited, the surface of the lake rippled again and Cortes' heart leaped with joy.
"The wind!" he cried. "The saints are helping us."
He drew his ships out in line of battle. The rising breeze caught the sails and carried the squadron swiftly across the lake to the fleet of Indian canoes. It rammed them, tossed them, overturned them, while the big guns volleyed right and left. The canoes which were unhurt paddled in terror back to the city to escape the fearful white-winged birds of the Spaniards, who made the wind their servant and the thunder and lightning their executioners.
Elated with his victory, Cortes went on his way and arrived at Fort Xoloc, where he knew the dyke from Olid's position at Cojohuacan joined the main causeway of Iztapalapan. The fort, consisting of two stone towers surrounded by stone walls, was garrisoned by Aztecs. The marines easily dislodged them and Cortes, bringing ashore some of the guns, occupied the place. Here he not only held the causeway but was in touch with his fleet and through Olid could be well supplied with provisions.
Thus, before they knew it, the Aztecs were in a state of siege. Cortes' fleet commanded the lake east of the great causeway, and his armies held the entrances to the three causeways. When Guatemozin saw the Spaniards entrenched in the places he should have had the foresight to occupy, he made frantic endeavors to drive them out, making his attacks on land and sea even by night, contrary to Indian practice.
The brigantines successfully protected the eastern side of the dyke, but the western side was unmercifully harassed by the Indian attacks, until the Spaniards made a breach in the causeway and took two of the smaller ships into the basin on the west side in the very face of the savages, who yelled and shot arrows so thickly that they hid the ground where they lay.
And so the siege of Tenochtitlan was fairly on, and Cortes was ready to push it closer. He sent word to Alvarado and Sandoval in their positions that they should, on the day Cortes named, try to enter the capital over their causeways while Cortes advanced along the dyke of Iztapalapan.
The day came. At early dawn Cortes' soldiers gathered to hear mass and then, with their general at their head, they advanced along the dyke of Iztapalapan from Xoloc toward the city. Before they had gone far they came upon a broken bridge and, on the far side of the gap in the causeway, a solid barricade of masonry, which protected the Aztecs drawn up behind it.
The musketeers and crossbow-men tried in vain to drive the Indians back. Finally Cortes gave up that attempt and ordered two ships, one on each side of the causeway, to anchor opposite the Indian barricade and open fire. That drove the enemy from their stand and they fell back to the next breach in the dyke, which they held until the ships again drove them out. The Spanish van swam the gaps in the causeway and pursued the Aztecs as they fled. The rear stayed behind to fill up the breaches with the stones of the barricades.
Finally, when Cortes had pushed the Indians back into the city along the great avenue which led to the central square, he halted for his rear to come up, that they might destroy the houses along the avenue and secure the Spaniards a safe line of retreat. When that was done, Cortes pressed on, and the Indians fell back before him. One more broken bridge and stone barricade the Spaniards cleared with their cannon, swam the shallow water of the canal, and found themselves in the great square of Tenochtitlan.
For a moment they halted, dazed at their recollections. There was the huge temple in the center and, facing it, Axayacatl's palace, which they had entered with pride, lived in in peace and comfort, and from which they had fled in terror. The past seemed almost a dream.
"St. Jago and at them!" Cortes cried, and charged the enemy across the square.
The Aztecs, also remembering the past, and overwhelmed at the return of the white men whom they had once so triumphantly driven out, fell back without resistance into the temple courtyard. From the terraces the chanting Indian priests urged the warriors to courage.
The Spaniards rushed into the temple courtyard and some were bold enough to ascend the steps to the temple area where, in his sanctuary, they found a new image of the war god. They hurled over the side of the temple the priests who would have defended it and tore away the gold and jewels that adorned Huitzilopotchli.
THE ARMY WAS PURSUED ALL THE WAY BY HOWLING AZTECS.
Hundreds of Aztec eyes had watched this new insult to their god, and as the rash Spaniards came down again into the courtyard, there were hundreds of fierce Aztec arms eager for revenge. In a mass they threw themselves on the Spaniards and drove them into the square, where they were caught by new bodies of Indians pouring in from the side streets.
Utterly losing their coolness and courage, the Spaniards left their cannon in the square and fled back towards the causeway. Cortes' efforts to rally them were in vain; they met their advancing allies and communicated their terror to them, till the retreat became nothing but a panic-stricken stampede.
When it seemed as if all was lost, help came. A body of cavalry dashed through a side street and boldly charging the enemy, turned it once more. Cortes made his voice heard finally to reassure his frightened troops who, ashamed of their wild flight, returned to order and drove the Aztecs once more into the temple courtyard.
As it was growing dark, Cortes attempted nothing more. He recovered the cannon from the square and then sounded a retreat, the allies in the van, the infantry in the center and the cavalry in the rear. The army was pursued all the way by howling Aztecs disappointed of their revenge, but late at night the Spaniards reached Xoloc.
Alvarado and Sandoval had made their attempt to enter the city over their causeways, but, having no ships to help them, they had not been able to pass the barricades at the breaches. Cortes now sent half the fleet to his two generals along with one-third of the fifty thousand Tlascalans whom Ixtlilzochitl had led into camp.
Cortes' attack on Tenochtitlan had not only caused terror to the Aztecs, but had also convinced several out-lying tribes that Cortes would prove a better friend than Guatemozin. They all offered him recruits. Cortes did not need more fighting men for his ranks were full, but it was most reassuring to have behind him, instead of enemies, friends whom he could use to keep peace in the outlying country and to send food into camp.
Before the Mexicans could recover from that attack, Cortes made a second, thinking that, as he had filled up all the breaches in the causeway, he should have easy entrance into the city. But he found that each breach had been opened again. However, with the help of cannon and ships, he once more pushed his way across and entered the city. This time he burned the palace of Axayacatl which had so long been the Spaniard's home.
On the following days, time after time, Cortes forced his way into the city, always finding the gaps he filled up one day broken open the next. He even got a little way down the dyke of Tlacopan once, hoping to get into communication with Alvarado. But there were too many broken bridges in his way and he did not get far.
Guatemozin, in the meantime, was not idle. His beacon fires burned and the melancholy drum in the great temple boomed to call to attack, not only his subjects in the city, but those tribes outside who were still his friends. While Guatemozin had friends outside, their canoes managed to run the blockade of the brigantines and bring in provisions by night. But as the out-lying tribes fell away, Tenochtitlan began to suffer. Guatemozin made many fierce attacks on the three Christian camps at the ends of the causeways, but he was always driven back.
Cortes' sent many messages of peace to Guatemozin, hoping against hope that the young Emperor would capitulate and so save his city from destruction. But Guatemozin did not falter. He saw his enemies encompassing him, his vassals falling away, his city destroyed by fire, famine coming near, but he sent no word of yielding to Cortes. To all Cortes' offers of peace there came no answer except scornful silence. Guatemozin had sworn an oath of undying hatred to the Spaniards. Come what might, he would ask no mercy at their hands.


At what age do babies sit up?
After your baby sits up – what's next?
Sitting independently gives your baby a new perspective on the world. Once his back and neck muscles are strong enough to hold him upright and he's figured out where to put his legs so he won't topple over, it's just a matter of time until he moves on to crawling, standing, and walking.
While you can prop your baby in a sitting position almost from day one, true independent sitting doesn't begin until he has head control. Starting at about 4 months, your baby's neck and head muscles strengthen rapidly, and he'll learn to raise and hold his head up while he's lying on his stomach.
Next he'll figure out how to prop himself up on his arms and hold his chest off the ground, sort of a mini-pushup. By 5 months he may be able to sit momentarily without assistance, though you should stay nearby to provide support and surround him with pillows to cushion a possible fall.
Soon your baby will figure out how to maintain his balance while seated by leaning forward on one or both arms in a tripod position. By 7 months he'll probably be able to sit unsupported (which will free his hands for exploring), and he'll learn how to pivot to reach a desired object while sitting.
At this point he may even be able to get from his tummy into a sitting position by pushing up on his arms. By the time he's 8 months old, he'll likely be sitting well without support.
Lifting his head and chest helps your baby strengthen his neck muscles and develops the head control necessary for sitting up. You can help by encouraging him to play face down on the floor and then prompting him to look up.
Using a bright toy that makes noise or a mirror is also a good way to make sure that his hearing and vision are on the right track. Once your baby is a fairly confident sitter, put toys and other intriguing objects just out of reach – they'll hold his attention as he learns to balance with his arms.
As always, and especially when he's just learning to sit, be sure to stay close to your baby in case he falls – or wants to show off his new skill.
If your baby isn't able to hold his head up steadily by the time he's about 4 months old and hasn't started learning to prop himself up on his arms shortly after that or is unable to sit unsupported by 9 months, check in with his doctor.
Babies develop skills differently, some more quickly than others, but head control is essential to sitting independently, and sitting is the key to crawling, standing, and learning to walk.
Keep in mind that premature babies may reach this and other milestones later than their peers.
You can guess what comes after your baby figures out that he can lunge forward from a sitting position and balance on his hands and knees. He may get the hang of moving forward (or backward) on all fours as early as 6 or 7 months, and master crawling by 10 months. Your child is now both very mobile and very curious, so childproofing is very important. By the way, most pediatricians recommend waiting until your baby is sitting with minimal support before starting him on solid foods.

This summer, travelers can take advantage of an offer from Norwegian airline Widerøe for unlimited flights throughout Norway.
The Explore Norway Ticket allows ticket-holders to book unlimited flights between 42 destinations in Norway. It is valid for two weeks between July 1 and August 31.
The country is divided up into three "zones." Unlimited travel within one week will cost $435. Two zones increases the price to $512, and to fly without restriction through all of Norway will cost $589.

After booking the first flight with their unlimited pass, travelers can change their itinerary as much as they would like, up to two hours before departure. The only stipulation is that travelers cannot book more than four flights between the same pair of cities.
The journey can even start and end outside of Norway. The ticket includes flights to and from select destinations in the U.K., Sweden and Denmark that Widerøe services.
Within Norway, travelers can use their unlimited tickets to sightsee in Oslo, explore the western fjords, venture into the Arctic circle, or take part in a whale safari on the coast. Travelers who head north with their ticket will be able to experience the "midnight sun" phenomenon throughout the summer season.
And if two weeks doesn't seem like enough time to explore all that Norway offers, it's possible to extend the pass to three weeks for an additional $255.


Did A Mortgage Lender Take Advantage Of You?
Predatory lending occurs when mortgage companies, brokers, real estate agents and others take advantage of inexperienced or unknowledgeable homeowners who are looking to borrow money. The federal Truth in Lending Act requires these lenders to follow specific rules and to abide by a code of ethics. When the terms of this act are violated, a lender may have broken the law and you may have a strong defense against foreclosure actions related to your borrowing transaction.
At The Andres Lopez Law Firm, our Fort Lauderdale attorneys for predatory lending claims understand how easy it is for homeowners to enter into a bad financial deal. Many homeowners feel pressured when threatened with foreclosure and they may act quickly in an effort to help save their homes. It is important to seek legal advice before entering into a transaction with a lender. If you are concerned that you have already been the victim of predatory lending, it is important to get legal help as soon as possible.

Small Business - Playing the Fool?
Wise up by avoiding these 5 negotiating mistakes.
1. Not aiming high enough: If you don't ask, you don't get. In other words, ask for more than you expect, or you'll get less than you deserve.
2. Doing their job: Once you make an offer, wait. The other side has three choices: accept it, reject it, or make a counteroffer--which means you can negotiate some more. If you better your offer before the other side answers, you are giving away the store. They'll label you a wimp, then wait for the perfect moment to really start grinding you down.
3. Not knowing what you want: Do your homework. Don't waste your opponent's time. Put together a checklist (for your eyes only, of course) of what you must have, would like to have and can do without.
4. Making concessions before you've seen all the demands: If you want to be sucker punched, make concessions piecemeal. Not only will your opponents hound you for more--they will out-leverage you with an eleventh-hour demand you cannot refuse. Get demands out in the open first, then get them in writing. Once you have a bird's-eye view of the battlefield, you can make concessions, but only if your opponent takes some demands off the table, too.
5. Not flinching: If there is one negotiating tactic you should master, it's the flinch. Open any book about negotiation, and you'll see this on the first page: Never accept the first offer.


WASHINGTON, DC, December 19, 2012 — SandRidge Energy, Inc. today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell Permian Basin properties to Sheridan Production, a private operator, for $2.6 billion in cash. Covington & Burling, along with Texas-based Locke Lord, advised SandRidge on the transaction.
SandRidge will use the proceeds to reduce debt and fund the development of the company's assets in the Mississippian formation in Oklahoma and Kansas. Based in Oklahoma, SandRidge is an oil and natural gas company focused on exploration and production. The Permian properties being sold were producing approximately 24,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day at the end of the third quarter (67 percent oil, 15 percent natural gas liquids and 18 percent natural gas) and exclude assets associated with SandRidge Permian Trust.
The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Covington team included Stephen Infante and Scott Smith (mergers and acquisitions) and David Engvall (securities).
