For other uses, see District (disambiguation).
A district is a type of administrative division that, in some countries, is managed by local government. Across the world, areas known as "districts" vary greatly in size, spanning regions or counties, several municipalities, subdivisions of municipalities, school district, or political district.
A municipal utility district is a special-purpose district or other jurisdiction that provides services (such as electricity, natural gas, sewage treatment, waste collection/management, wholesale telecommunications, water) to district residents. Local residents may vote to establish a municipal utility district, which is represented by a board of directors elected by constituents. As governmental bodies, they are usually nonprofit.
In the US, public utility districts (PUD) have similar functions to Municipal utility districts, but are created by a local government body such as a city or county, and have no authority to levy taxes. They provide public utilities to the residents of that district.
PUDs are created by a local government body, such as a city, county, or metropolitan service area (two or more communities joining together for public utility purposes). Normally the districts are non-profit. PUDs are often governed by a commission, which may be appointed or elected.
Some of the tasks of the administrative branch of the national and regional governments are fulfilled by the 95 district administrative offices (Bezirkshauptmannschaften). The area a district administrative office is responsible for is often, although informally, called a district (Bezirk). A number of statutory cities, currently 15, are not served by any district administrative office. Their respective municipal bureaucracies handle the tasks normally performed by the district administrative office.
The cities of Vienna and Graz are divided into municipal districts (Stadtbezirke), assisting the respective municipal governments. In Vienna, the constituents of each district elect a district council (Bezirksvertretung); the district council in turn elects a district chairperson (Bezirksvorsteher). Although the city vests its districts with a limited amount of budgetary autonomy, district councils and chairpersons have little real responsibility. In particular, they do not legislate. Most of the districts of Vienna were independent municipalities at some point; district councils and chairpersons symbolize the town councils and mayors they used to have.
From the point of view of the judiciary of Austria, the country is subdivided into 115 judicial districts (Gerichtsbezirke), each corresponding to one of the country's 115 lowest-level trial courts.
Bangladeshi districts are local administrative units. In all, there are 64 districts in Bangladesh. Originally, there were 21 greater districts with several subdivisions in each district. In 1984, the government made all these subdivisions into districts. Each district has several sub districts called Upazila in Bengali.
In Belgian municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, on initiative of the local council, sub-municipal administrative entities with elected councils may be created. As such, only Antwerp, having over 460,000 inhabitants, became subdivided into nine districts (Dutch: districten).
The Belgian arrondissements (also in French as well as in Dutch), an administrative level between province (or the capital region) and municipality, or the lowest judicial level, are in English sometimes called districts as well.
Bhutanese districts (dzongkhag) are local administrative units consisting of village blocks called gewog. Some have subdistricts called dungkhag.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, a district is a self-governing administrative unit.
Brčko District in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina is formally part of both the Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Assembly of the Brčko District has 29 seats.
Brazilian municipalities are subdivided into districts. Small municipalities usually have only one urban district, which contains the city itself, consisting of the seat of the local government, where the municipality's prefeitura and câmara de vereadores (City Hall and City Council, respectively, the Executive and Legislative local bodies) are located. The rural districts and groups of urban districts (mainly in large cities) may also present a sub local Executive body, named subprefeitura.
A district is known locally as daerah and it is the first-level administrative division of Brunei. There are four districts in the country, namely Brunei-Muara, Tutong, Belait and Temburong. Each district is administered by a Jabatan Daerah (District Office), which is headed by a Pegawai Daerah (District Officer). All district offices are government departments under the Ministry of Home Affairs (Malay: Kementerian Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri).
In Alberta, the municipal districts and improvement districts are types of rural municipalities. They are recognized as census subdivisions by Statistics Canada, which form parts of census divisions.
In the province of British Columbia, there are several kinds of administrative districts by that name. The usual usage is a reference to district municipalities, which are a class of municipality in the same hierarchy as city, town, or village. Most are styled, e.g., "District of Mission" or "District of Wells", though some are styled, e.g., "Corporation of Delta" or "Township of Langley".
Within the area of municipal powers, regional districts – which are somewhat analogous to counties in other jurisdictions, a number of municipalities, and unincorporated areas – are always referred to as "regional districts" to distinguish them from district municipalities and other kinds of district.
Land districts, which are the underlying cadastral survey system for the province and are the primary locational reference used in government databases and references. The primary use of "district" in combinations such as the Lillooet District or New Westminster District was a reference to the land district, though sometimes to mining divisions.
School districts, also often referred to simply as "districts", when in context.
Other types of regional subdivision, according to the ministry or agency, are generally styled "region" or "area". These include such as Ministry of Environment regions, health regions and regional management planning areas such as the Muskwa-Kechika Management Planning Area.
New Brunswick has numerous local service districts, 7 school districts, 10 federal electoral districts and 55 provincial electoral districts.
In Ontario, a district is a statutory subdivision of the province, but, unlike a county, a district is not incorporated. Most districts are composed of unincorporated lands, mostly Crown land. Originally present-day Southern Ontario (then part of the Province of Quebec and after 1791, Upper Canada) was divided into districts in 1788 . Districts continued to operation until 1849 when they were replaced by counties by the Province of Canada.
The current Ontario districts such as Algoma and Nipissing were first created by the Province of Canada in 1858 prior to Confederation for the delivery of judicial and provincial government services to sparsely populated areas from the district seat (e.g. Sault Ste. Marie). Some districts may have District Social Service Administration Boards, which are designed to provide certain social services. The boundaries of a federal census division may correspond to those of a district.
In western and northern Canada, the federal government created districts as subdivisions of the Northwest Territories 1870–1905, partly on the model of the districts created in the Province of Canada. The first district created was the District of Keewatin in 1876 followed by four more districts in 1882. Gradually, these districts became separate territories (such as Yukon), separate provinces (such as Alberta and Saskatchewan) or were absorbed into other provinces.
In Quebec, districts are municipal electoral subdivisions of boroughs, which are subdivisions of cities. They function in a similar manner to what is elsewhere known as a ward.
In China, the district or qū (市辖区, pinyin: shì xiá qū) is a subdivision of any of various city administrative units, including municipalities, sub-provincial cities and prefecture-level cities. Districts have county level status.
Modern districts are a recent innovation. In the context of pre-modern China, the English translation "district" is typically associated with xian, another Chinese administrative division. The xian is translated as "county" in the context of modern China.
Hong Kong is divided into eighteen districts, each with a district council.
A "district" in the Czech Republic is an okres (plural okresy). After a reform in 2002, the districts lost administrative power to regions (kraje) and selected towns (pověřené obce) and became statistical zones.
French districts were the first subdivision of the départements from the 4 March 1790 to the 28 pluviôse an VIII (17 February 1800). Then, in the 20th century, districts were a type of intercommunity, they've been replaced by communauté de communes and communautés d'agglomération after 1999.
In Germany, a district ("Kreis") is an administrative unit between the "Länder" (German federal states) and the local / municipal levels (Gemeinden). As of 2011, most of the 402 German districts are "Landkreise", rural districts. 107 larger cities (usually with more than 100,000 inhabitants) that do not belong to a district are considered as urban districts ("Kreisfreie Städte" or "Stadtkreise").
A local subdistrict is called a Gemarkung, and is mostly a smaller rural area (with similar concepts in Austria and Switzerland). A Gemarkung is usually associated with and named after a central town or village. Areas in such subdistricts and their usage are documented in central registries (German: Kataster) and have been historically used for taxation.
In some states, there is additional level of administration between the Länder and the Landkreise called Regierungsbezirk (government district).
City district (Stadtbezirk or Ortsbezirk) is the primary subdivision category of many Kreisfreie Städte.
175 districts were established on January 1, 2013. The existing 19 counties are subdivided into 6 - 18 districts per county. The capital city of Budapest does not belong to any counties and is already divided to 23 districts.
India's districts (Assamese: জিলা; Bengali (জেলা); Gujarati (જિલ્લો); Hindi: (ज़िला) [zɪla] or (जनपद) [dʒənpəd]; Kannada: ಜಿಲ್ಲೆ (jille); Malayalam: ജില്ല(jilla); Punjabi: ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹਾ; mavattam Tamil: மாவட்டம்;Telugu: జిల్లా;) are local administrative units inherited from the British Raj. They generally form the tier of local government immediately below that of India's subnational states and territories. Where warranted, districts may further be grouped into administrative divisions, which form an intermediate level between the district and the subnational state (or union territory).
A district is headed by a Deputy Commissioner/ Collector, who is responsible for the overall administration and the maintenance of law and order. The district collector may belong to IAS (Indian Administrative Service). Other key responsibilities include the collection of revenue, and criminal prosecution in the district and sessional courts. Usually, the Deputy Commissioner/District Collector is granted magisterial powers under section 20 of Criminal Procedure Code, and designated as the District Magistrate. The official designations are "Collector and District Magistrate" or "Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate".
Districts are most frequently further sub-divided into smaller administrative units, called either tehsils or talukas or mavattams, depending on the region. These units have specific local responsibilities, including in particular coordinating revenue collection. An intermediate level (the sub-division) between district and tehsil/taluka may be formed by grouping these units under the oversight of Assistant Commissioners or sub-collectors. Each district includes one or two cities (or large towns), a few smaller towns and dozens of villages. Most of the Indian districts have the same name as their main town or city.
As of April 2016, the National Informatics Centre of the Government of India, lists a total of 664 districts in India, more than the number of parliamentary constituencies (545). This number went up to a total of 723 districts in 2019.
Mandals composed of a ten or more villages administered by village revenue officers and village servants.
In Uttar Pradesh Districts and tahsils are defined in U.P. Land Revenue Act, 1901.
In Papua and West Papua, two of the 34 provinces of Indonesia, a distrik is a subdivision of a regency or a city. Formerly it was called a kecamatan. In translations of most official documents, kecamatan itself is translated into English as "district", but some other documents (especially from older era) translated it to "subdistrict", which is equivalent to a kelurahan in recent translations. This translation ambiguity has caused confusions among foreigners. Distrik or kecamatan do not have legal autonomy to govern themselves, because they are only administrative extensions of a regency or a city.
Iran is subdivided into thirty one provinces (Persian: استان Ostān), each governed from a local center, usually the largest local city, which is called the capital (Persian: Markaz) of that province. The provinces of Iran further subdivided into counties called shahrestan (Persian: شهرستان shahrestān), an area inside an ostan, and consists of a city center, few bakhsh (Persian: بخش bakhsh) and many villages around them. There are usually a few cities (Persian: شهر shahr) and rural agglomerations (Persian: دهستان dehestān) in each county. Rural agglomerations are a collection of a number of villages. One of the cities of the county is appointed as the capital of the county. The world Shahrestan comes from the Persian words shahr and ostan, which mean city (or town) and province, respectively. The nearest equivalent of Shahrestan in English would be sub-province or county. Each Shahrestan has a governmental office known as Farmandari which coordinates different events and governmental offices. The Farmandar, or the head of Farmandari, is the governor of the Shahrestan which is the highest governmental authority in the division.
In Iraq, they use the word qadaa for districts. There are over a hundred districts, each district being within one of 18 Iraqi governorates, sometimes known as provinces. The district generally (but not always) bears the name of a city within that district, usually the capital of that district.
A district (gun in Japanese) is a local administrative unit comprising towns and villages but not cities. See districts of Japan for more complete description. In 1923, its administrative role was abolished although it is still in use for addressing purposes. "District" is also a translation of chiku, defined by Japan's planning law.
In Kenya, a district (wilayah) is a subdivision of a Province and is headed by a District Officer (DO).
A district (gu) is a subdivision of larger cities in South Korea. Smaller cities have no districts, whereas districts in Seoul and six Metropolitan Cities are treated as a city in its own right.
The Districts of the Republic of Mauritius are the second-order administrative divisions after the Outer islands of the country. Mauritius is divided into nine districts which consist of 2 cities, 4 towns and 130 villages, the capital is Port Louis.
The island of Rodrigues used to be the tenth district of Mauritius but it gained autonomous status in 2002.
A district is known as Daerah in Malay. A district governed directly by the federal government is known as a Federal Territory, and they are Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan.
In Peninsular Malaysia, a district is a division of a state. A mukim is a subdivision of a district. The mukim is however of less importance with respect to the administration of local government.
In Malaysia, each district will have a District Office, headed by a district officer, and is administered by a local government either being a District Council, Municipal Council, or a City Council. In some highly urbanized districts, there may be further subdivisions. For example, the district of Petaling in Selangor is administered by 3 local governments: Shah Alam City Council, Petaling Jaya City Council, and Subang Jaya Municipal Council. Another example is the district of Johor Bahru in Johor, which has 3 subdivisions: Johor Bahru City Council, Iskandar Puteri City Council, and Pasir Gudang Municipal Council. Conversely, there may be one local government administering more than one district, for example, Seberang Perai Municipal Council administers the districts of Central Seberang Perai, North Seberang Perai, and South Seberang Perai.
An administrative district border and an electoral district border (constituency) transcend each other and do not correspond with each other in most instances.
The districts of Nauru are the only subdivisions of the whole state.
Nepal is divided into 77 districts. Each district acts as an independent administrative unit. A district consists two types of units like Rural Municipalities and Municipalities. Official documents like citizenship cards and passports are issued by the Chief of District Office (CDO). Constituencies for elections are also constructed according to the population distribution within the district.
A district in New Zealand is a territorial authority (second-tier local government unit) that has not gained the distinction of being proclaimed a city. Districts tend to be less urbanized, tend to cover more than one population center and a larger amount of rural area, and tend to have a smaller population than cities. While cities and districts are generally considered to be two different types of territorial authority, the area covered by a city is often known as its district—for example the term district plan is used equally in districts and cities. The Chatham Islands Territory is neither a district nor a city.
A district is not always a simple division of a region: several districts lie within two regions, and the Taupo District lies in four.
Pakistan's districts are local administrative units inherited from the British Raj. Districts were generally grouped into administrative divisions, which in turn formed provinces. Pakistan has 130 districts (including ten in Azad Jammu and Kashmir). They comprise villages, towns and cities. A district is headed by a district nazim (mayor), who is an elected official and the local controller of the district level officers of all the departments under provincial government while Deputy Commissioner is executive head of the District usually Grade-18 officer from Pakistan Administrative Service.Deputy Commissioner is entrusted with overall responsibility of law & order, implementation of government schemes and is also authorised to hear revenue cases pertaining to the district. The district mayor(nazim) heads an elected district council composed of councilors, who represent various district-level constituencies. The councils have a constitutional requirement to be composed of a minimum of 33% women; there is no upper limit, so women can comprise 100% of these councils but men cannot.
The usage of the term 'district' (distrito) in the Philippines has similarities to that in the United States.
A constituency with a representative in the lower house of Congress is a congressional district. However, the term congressional district has become synonymous in local parlance with 'representative district,' because, just like in the US, the word 'congress' (konggreso) has come to refer specifically to the lower house (the House of Representatives).
A legislative district, which has an average population of about 250,000 to 500,000, may be composed of: (a.) an entire province, (b.) within a province, a group of municipalities and cities (sometimes even including independent and highly urbanized cities geographically located in the province), (c.) a single city, (d.) a group of geographically adjacent independent cities and independent municipalities (currently the only example is the Pateros-Taguig, or (e.) a group of barangays within a city.
Each province is guaranteed at least one representative to the lower house, even though it may not come close to having the same population as other legislative districts. Only voters within each district are allowed to vote in the election for the member of the House of Representatives from that district.
From 1916 to 1935, the Philippines were divided into 12 senatorial districts, of which 11 elected two members each, for a total of 22 out of the 24 members of the upper house of Congress (the Senate). Since 1935 senators have been elected at large.
In addition, each congressional district that falls under the jurisdiction of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (a total of 8) elects three members each to the country's only subnational legislative assembly.
There are provincial districts for the purpose of electing Sangguniang Panlalawigan (Provincial Council) members, which follow the congressional district arrangement, except that independent and highly urbanized cities whose charters prevent them from electing provincial officials are excluded. Also, provinces that comprise a lone congressional district are divided into at least two provincial districts.
There are also city councilor districts for the purpose of electing Sangguniang Panlungsod (City Council) members, which follow the congressional district arrangement. In cases where the city does not form two or more congressional districts by itself, it is divided into at least two city council districts.
Districts exist as an administrative entity only in local government, with limited powers or responsibilities. Certain cities, such as Manila, Iloilo and Davao, for administrative purposes, formally divide their jurisdictions into city districts composed of several barangays, but the extent of these district-level administrative powers vary. Several barangays (the lowest level of government) also have the word 'district' in their names – examples are those in Jala-jala and Zamboanga City. However, this is solely for the purpose of nomenclature, and does not imply a higher level of local government.
During Spanish and early American colonial rule, certain areas of the Philippines were designated as 'districts,' mainly those that had not been formally organized into provinces or incorporated into existing ones. In the American era, cities and municipalities were divided into city and municipal districts, which served as the lowest level of government before the creation of the barangay.
Special-purpose districts also exist in the Philippines, created for government departments and agencies. Examples are school districts for the Department of Education (DepEd), engineering districts for the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and coast guard districts for the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
Some cities and municipalities also extend the usage of the word 'district' to refer to certain areas, even without having any formal administrative purposes. Examples are the central business districts in Naga City and Makati City.
The second-level unit of local government and administration in Poland, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture (LAU-1) in other countries is called a powiat. As of 2008 there are 379 powiat-level entities in Poland: 314 land counties and 65 city counties. For a complete alphabetical listing, see list of counties in Poland.
Districts (distritos) are administrative divisions of Portugal. They were mainly used as the jurisdiction areas for the civil governors, the government officials that represented locally the Central Government. However, in 2011, the role of civil governor was de facto extinct (although not de jure), with the decision taken by the Government not to appoint new civil governors and to transfer its functions to other bodies. The district areas are now only used as the regional jurisdiction areas of some public bodies (like the Public Security Police district commands) and some private entities (like the district associations and championships of football).
In Russia, districts are administrative and municipal divisions of the federal subjects, as well as administrative divisions of larger cities ("city districts") which are commonly referenced as raions (Russian: Районы) and okrugs (Russian: Округа) respectively. The term "district" is also used to refer to the type of administrative division of the Sakha Republic—ulus (Russian: улус; Yakut: улуус). The Sakha Republic is administratively divided into five cities under the Republic's jurisdiction and 33 uluses. The law of the Sakha Republic establishes that the terms "ulus" and "district" are equivalent.
In historical context (for the Russian Empire), the term "district" is often used to refer to uyezds.
In Slovakia, a district (okres) is a local administrative unit.
In South Africa, the district municipality forms the layer of government below the provinces. A district municipality is in turn divided into several local municipalities.
where a metropolitan municipality replaces both a district and a local municipality.
Each of the districts is divided into divisions. These were originally based on the feudal counties, the korales and ratas. They were formerly known as 'D.R.O. Divisions' after the 'Divisional Revenue Officer'. Later the D.R.O.s became 'Assistant Government Agents' and the Divisions were known as 'A.G.A. Divisions'. Currently, the Divisions are administered by a 'Divisional Secretary', and are known as a 'D.S. Divisions'. Rural D.S. Divisions are also administered by a 'Pradeshiya Sabha' (Sinhala for 'Regional Council'), which is elected.
In Switzerland, some cantons organize themselves into districts, while others dispense with districts and govern themselves at the Wahlkreise (constituency or electoral district) level.
Some municipalities in the Kingdom of Sweden have divided their territory into smaller areas, which often are assigned an administrative board responsible for certain elements of municipal governance within their district. These areas take a variety of different Swedish names; however "district" is usually the official English term for them. The term "borough" is sometimes used in unofficial contexts.
In the Republic of China, district (Chinese: 區; pinyin: Qū) is the 3rd level of the administrative division. It is a division of special municipality and provincial city of Taiwan Province. Currently, there are 157 districts in total from 5 special municipalities and 3 provincial cities.
A district ("amphoe") is a subdivision of a province ("changwat") in Thailand. Some provinces also contain minor districts ("กิ่งอำเภอ")(th:กิ่งอำเภอ), which are smaller than the average district.
In Turkey, a district (Turkish: ilçe) is an administrative subdivision of a province (Turkish: il). See also Districts of Turkey.
In Ukraine, districts (raions) second level of administrative division of Ukraine and are primary the most common division of Ukrainian regions, as well as administrative divisions of larger cities ("city districts").
Each district raises taxes from residents on behalf of itself, and the upper tier authority through the Council Tax. It also raises income from business through the Non-Domestic Rates system, which is coordinated nationally.
There is no official use of the word district in Wales. The country is broken up into 22 unitary authorities. However, district may be used informally for a whole or unofficial part of a ward in a city.
Districts of Scotland were local government areas between 1975 and 1996.
Between 1930 and 1975 districts were subdivisions of counties, formed under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929. See List of local government areas in Scotland 1930–75. Scotland, since 1996, has been divided in 32 unitary council areas and districts are no longer used.
Northern Ireland is divided into 11 districts for local government purposes. The councils do not carry out the same range of functions as those in the rest of the United Kingdom; for example they have no responsibility for education, road-building or housing (although they do nominate members to the advisory Northern Ireland Housing Council).
Their functions do include waste and recycling services, leisure and community services, building control and local economic and cultural development. They are not planning authorities, but are consulted on some planning applications. Collection of rates (local tax) is handled by the Rate Collection Agency.

There are several types of districts in the United States.
A constituency with a representative in Congress is a congressional district. Each state is organized into one or more such districts; the exact number within each state is based on the most recent census. Only voters within each district are allowed to vote in the election for the member of the House of Representatives from that district. Overall, there are 435 congressional districts in the United States; each has roughly 630,000 people, with some variance.
A constituency with a representative in a state legislature is a legislative district; the territory over which a federal court has jurisdiction is a federal judicial district.
The District of Columbia is the only part of the United States, excluding territories, that is not located within any of the fifty states.
The United States also has many types of special-purpose districts with limited powers of local government. School districts are the most common, but other types of districts include community college districts, hospital districts, utility districts, irrigation districts, port districts, and public transit districts.
Many cities in the late 20th century adopted names for non-governmental districts as a way of increasing recognition and identity of these distinct areas and neighborhoods. Perhaps most apparently in Los Angeles, various areas and neighborhoods within the city are specified as districts. For instance, Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles, whereas Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are independent incorporated cities, with their own governments and police departments. This can be confusing, as the difference between districts and neighboring cities is usually not readily apparent, for they all make up the greater Los Angeles area. Typically, districts may or may not be distinguished at the boundary of the district with a "district sign" with the city's insignia; whereas at a city boundary, a city limit sign would usually be placed on the street with the city's name and population, at a minimum, but also often includes its elevation. The important distinction is that areas classified as districts are still part of the parent city and governed by the laws and ordinances of that city.
Various federal, regional and local agencies such as the National Register of Historic Places recognize historic districts.
Prior to the Act of Consolidation in 1854, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania had some districts acting like cities or towns.
The term district in Vietnam refers to the second level administrative unit, below provinces (tỉnh) and centrally administered cities (thành phố trực thuộc trung ương). This second level unit is called a "huyện" in rural areas, while in urban areas districts are either "quận" (sub-divisions of centrally administered cities), "Thành phố trực thuộc tỉnh" (provincial cities) or "thị xã" (towns). As of 28 November 2011, Vietnam had 698 "districts" including 55 provincial cities, 47 towns, 47 urban sub-divisions, and 549 rural districts (including 12 island districts).
Vietnamese districts vary significantly in both population and area. Excluding the island districts, the most populous is Biên Hoà (provincial city) with 784,398 people; the least populous is the town of Mường Lay (11,650). Similarly, the largest district is Mường Tè (3,677.4 km²) while the smallest is District ("Quận") 4 of Hồ Chí Minh City with an area of only 4.18 km².

Q: What is the purpose of App Service Stack Settings?
What is the purpose of Stack settings in Azure App Service? I have .NET Core 3.1 app running without problems in App Service with Stack settings as on picture above. Should I modify my ARM Template to set Stack to .NET Core?

A: On windows OS that is only for initial creation.

After initial web app creation, there isn't a need to identify that an
  app is a .NET Core app anymore because the .NET Core bits are already
  installed on the underlying worker. However for Linux App Service
  the stack settings will reflect .NET Core for an app, even after its
  created.

Q: OnDeserialized callback with JsonConverter I´m trying to use the JsonConverter from this answer to Can I specify a path in an attribute to map a property in my class to a child property in my JSON? by Brian Rogers to map nested properties in JSON to a flat object.
The converter works well, but I need to fire the OnDeserialized callback to fill other properties and it´s not fired. If I don´t use the converter, the callback is fired.
Examples:
string json = @"{
    'response': {
        'code': '000',
        'description': 'Response success',
    },
    'employee': {

        'surname': 'Testing',
        'work': 'At office'
    }
}";

            JsonPropertyAttribute att = prop.GetCustomAttributes(true)

            JToken token = jo.SelectToken(jsonPath);

            if (token != null && token.Type != JTokenType.Null)
            {
                object value = token.ToObject(prop.PropertyType, serializer);
                prop.SetValue(targetObj, value, null);
            }
        }

        return targetObj;
    }

    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

}

If I add [JsonConverter(typeof(EmployeeConverter))] in the Employee class I obtain:
=== With Converter ===
Code: 000
Name: Test
Surname: Testing
Workplace: At office

If I remove[JsonConverter(typeof(EmployeeConverter))] from the Employee class I obtain:
=== With Converter ===
Code:

Surname:
Workplace: At Home!!

My goal is to obtain:
=== With Converter ===
Code: 000
Name: Test
Surname: Testing
Workplace: At Home!!

Is the converter missing something?

A: Once you have created a custom JsonConverter for a type, it is incumbent on the converter to handle everything that needs to be done during deserialization -- including

*

*Calling serialization callbacks.

*Skipping ignored properties.

*Invoking JsonConverter.ReadJson() for converters attached via attributes to members of the type.

*Setting default values, skipping null values, resolving references, etc etc.

The complete logic can be seen in JsonSerializerInternalReader.PopulateObject(), and in theory you might need to make your ReadJson() method duplicate this method.  (But in practice you will likely only implement a small, necessary subset of the logic.)
One way to make this task easier is to use Json.NET's own JsonObjectContract type metadata, as returned by JsonSerializer.ContractResolver.ResolveContract(objectType).  This information contains the list of serialization callbacks and JsonpropertyAttribute property data used by Json.NET during deserialization.  A modified version of the converter that uses this information would be as follows:
// Modified from this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/33094930
// To https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33088462/can-i-specify-a-path-in-an-attribute-to-map-a-property-in-my-class-to-a-child-pr/
// By https://stackoverflow.com/users/10263/brian-rogers
// By adding handling of deserialization callbacks and some JsonProperty attributes.
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType,
                            object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
    var contract = serializer.ContractResolver.ResolveContract(objectType) as JsonObjectContract ?? throw new JsonException(string.Format("{0} is not a JSON object", objectType));

    var jo = JToken.Load(reader);
    if (jo.Type == JTokenType.Null)
        return null;
    else if (jo.Type != JTokenType.Object)
        throw new JsonSerializationException(string.Format("Unexpected token {0}", jo.Type));

    var targetObj = contract.DefaultCreator();

    // Handle deserialization callbacks
    foreach (var callback in contract.OnDeserializingCallbacks)
        callback(targetObj, serializer.Context);

    foreach (var property in contract.Properties)
    {
        // Check that property isn't ignored, and can be deserialized.
        if (property.Ignored || !property.Writable)
            continue;
        if (property.ShouldDeserialize != null && !property.ShouldDeserialize(targetObj))
            continue;
        var jsonPath = property.PropertyName;
        var token = jo.SelectToken(jsonPath);
        // TODO: default values, skipping nulls, PreserveReferencesHandling, ReferenceLoopHandling, ...
        if (token != null && token.Type != JTokenType.Null)
        {
            object value;
            // Call the property's converter if present, otherwise deserialize directly.
            if (property.Converter != null && property.Converter.CanRead)
            {
                using (var subReader = token.CreateReader())
                {
                    if (subReader.TokenType == JsonToken.None)
                        subReader.Read();
                    value = property.Converter.ReadJson(subReader, property.PropertyType, property.ValueProvider.GetValue(targetObj), serializer);
                }
            }
            // TODO: property.ItemConverter != null
            else
            {
                value = token.ToObject(property.PropertyType, serializer);
            }
            property.ValueProvider.SetValue(targetObj, value);
        }
    }

    // Handle deserialization callbacks
    foreach (var callback in contract.OnDeserializedCallbacks)
        callback(targetObj, serializer.Context);

    return targetObj;

oOoOO: Darkness Falls
Text: Kin Woo
The ungoogle-able "witch-house" pioneer, oOoOO cooks up dark and twisted treats on his debut self-titled EP
While the earlier part of this new decade was full of hope, soundtracked by the dreamy, nostalgic feelgood vibes of Memory Tapes, Toro Y Moi and Washed Out; a darker mood has descended on the music scene now, courtesy of the gothic, woozy beats of Salem and the movement they're calling "witch house" or "drag". It would seem that with Eyjafjallajökull erupting, the oil slick and fears of "double-dip recession", we don't have much to be happy about after all. "Drag" took its name from the syrupy, chopped and screwed hip hop of Houston-based DJ screw – vocals are timestretched to infinity (once memorably described as the sound of "Nick Cave smoking midnight cigarettes in slow motion") and spooky synths and samples drift in and out of the flickering spotlight creating a Lynchian sense of unease and disquiet. While Salem released their monolithic sounding debut album, "King Night" in the fall, there are a host of other disparate artists lurking in the shadows, putting their own unique slant on this exciting, haunting new noise. Many of the bands from Balam Acab, oOoOO and Creep feature on ice-cool new imprint, Tri Angle, founded by Robin Carolan of the influential freak-noise blog, 20 Jazz Funk Greats. On his eponymous EP, San Francisco-based producer, oOoOO (pronounced "Oh") takes the distorted, ghostly bones of hip hop and infuses a new sensuality and pop sensibility, reflecting his love of the boundary-pushing end of Top 40 fodder from Nicki Minaj to the sparse robotic funk of Britney Spears' "Blackout" album. Quite simply, it's the sound of the apocalypse set to a disco beat.
Dazed Digital: Who are you and when did you first start making music?
Chris Dexter: Really wanted to remain anonymous forever but since my name's already out there, just wanna set the record straight: "Christopher Dexter Greenspan" is the name I use to sign legal documents. That's about it. I've never given an interviewer my full legal name, let alone asked to be referred to by it. Don't even know how anyone knows it. Every time I see it in print I think how pretentious people must think I am going around calling myself that….I started playing music around 4 or 5 years old. oOoOO's been around almost 2 years now.
DD: Your band moniker is ungoogle-able and it's difficult to find out information about you which makes such a refreshing change in this Internet age – was it a conscious decision to keep some mystery?
Chris Dexter: I really just don't like band names and didn't want to have one. But it kind of backfired on me because everyone's always asking me about the name. John from Salem told me I should just call myself Lil' O, but I think there's a pretty well known rapper form Houston called that. Lil' O could be a name for a child of O from "the Story of O." Or oOoOO could represent all of her offspring.
DD: There is a nightmarish quality to the music – do your dreams inform the music you make? Can you describe any for us?
Chris Dexter: I don't remember my dreams much. I'm a terrible sleeper and am probably never asleep for more than like 45 minutes at a time. I'm pretty sure my waking life is very dreamlike compared to what most people experience though. I can just walk around aimlessly looking at doorways (San Francisco has the most beautiful, tiny doors) and listening to traffic all night. But I'm not really into nightmares or horror so much as I think sounds that are kind of unsettling or melancholic are good backdrops for beautiful melodies. They seem more desperate and sweet by contrast.
DD: Please name some inspirations – musical and otherwise?
Chris Dexter: Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion. Laura Dern in INLAND EMPIRE. Fire escapes are really exciting to me right now. I'm inspired by any music that sounds good on a fire escape in the middle of the night in the middle of the summer.
DD: Do you find any affinity with Salem and the other bands on Tri Angle? What do you make of this "drag" or "witch house" movement?
Chris Dexter: Fuckt is one of my favorite records, for sure. And Balam Acab is amazing, too. But I feel just as much of an affinity with Kylie Minogue. I like to think maybe at its best, my music is something like pop music for the unconscious…Many of the aesthetic elements people are attributing to "witch house" - spirituality, paganism, symbolism - I have no interest in.
DD: There's this misconception that makers of "witch house" are drugged out Satanists - what might people be surprised to learn about you?
Chris Dexter: There's actually a beautiful, long wooden rosary hanging upside down from a nail in the wall in our living room. But that's less about actual Satanism than something I keep to remind myself of how much I've progressed in getting over my inner Catholicism. Until I was maybe 14 - even though I no longer considered myself a Catholic - the sight of the symbols of the Church being perverted could make me nauseous.
DD: You remade a Lindsay Lohan track for Tri-Angle – what fascinates you about her?
Chris Dexter: Lindsay is interesting because so much money is spent trying to make her look like a sterile, Hollywood zombie-type, but she's just so intense and emotional and no matter how hard her management tries to cover that up, it seems to come out in violent, self-destructive, beautiful ways.
DD: You use a female vocalist, Lisa on tracks – is it as an homage to the Top 40 pop music you love like Britney and Christina?
Chris Dexter: Yeah, kinda, that's part of it. But I really don't like how male singing voices feel - at least not most of them. 9 times out of 10 if the first 20 seconds of a song sound good and a male voice comes in singing, its ruined for me. But I sing on a couple of my tracks though, and I'm thinking of doing it some more.
DD: What are you excited about for 2010? Besides releasing the EP, what else are you working on?
Chris Dexter: I've been doing a lot of remixes the past month. I'm doing one or two more in the next couple weeks, but as soon as it starts raining here and gets cold I'm locking myself in the house and I'm just gonna write and record new material all through the late fall and winter.

History of the Game
Best pitching performances you've ever seen?
Myankee4life
The best pitched game I ever saw was Clemens in the 2000 AlCS against Seattle. He went all 9 allowed 1 hit and struck out 15. The reaction of A-rod after one strikeout said it all, you could see him say wow. Clemens was consistently hitting 98 on his fastball and his splitter 94-95. I was astonished and I feel that this was his best pitched game ever. It also put to rest the criticism of his abilities in the postseason.
What are the most dominant performances you've seen?
"I was pitching one day when my glasses clouded up on me. I took them off to polish them. When I looked up to the plate, I saw Jimmie Foxx. The sight of him terrified me so much that I haven't been able to wear glasses since." - Left Gomez
"(Lou) Gehrig never learned that a ballplayer couldn't be good every day." - Hank Gowdy
Though it didn't feature a "dominating performance" by a pitcher in the strictest sense of the phrase, one game is forever etched in my mind:
1991 World Series, Game 7
- rgl
GhostofGehrig
Orel Hershiser ...
Game 2 of the 1988 WS.
IP H R ER BB SO
9.0 3 0 0 2 8
'34 TC winner
13 seasons 100 RBI (ML record-3 tied)
13 seasons 100 Runs Scored (AL record)
Only player with 500+ (509) RBI in 3 seasons
184 RBI in '31, (AL record)
(5) 400+TBs in a season, (ML record)
23 GS (ML record)
Stole home 15 times
(8) 200+ hit seasons - 3rd All-Time
Gehrig, Helton & Klein are the only players to have 100 extra-base hits in a season more than once.

on tv maybe pedros 17 k game against ny or a no hitter by ryan with houston in i think '81. in person, nothing too great. i saw clemens strike out 14 brewers c. '88 that's probably the best...
If you're talking the best that I've ever seen in person, strangely enough it would probably be by a 46-year-old pitcher Some of you may have been at that game, since people were thinking this might be the last time this guy pitches anywhere near the southeast part of the country. This 46-year-old guy gave up a leadoff single, I believe a single in the seventh or eighth . .
. . and nothing else in between. It was amazing seeing the different states on the license plates on that drive to Cleveland Municipal Stadium that day in 1993. And people were right, as it was the last time this pitcher would pitch anywhere near the southeast. That man named Nolan Ryan. Here's the box

I was at Ebbets Field for Carl Erskine's first no-hitter in '52, (which was only one walk shy of a perfect game), and at the Stadium when David Cone threw his perfect game in '99.
But the in-person performance I remember far more clearly than those two is Erskine's 5-hit, 5-run 3 BB complete game victory in the '52 Series.
With the Series tied at 2 games, and the Dodgers leading 4-0 in the 5th inning of Game 5, the Yankees roughed up Erskine for 5 runs and 4 hits. including a 3-run home run by Mize, to take a 5-4 lead.
For this Dodger fan, that sinking feeling set in and it was déjà vu all over again.
But in a thrilling come back, Snider singled home the tying run in the 7th, then doubled home the winning run in the 11th.
Meanwhile, after Mize's home run, Erskine held the Yankees at bay. Over the final six innings, he gave them nothing, retiring the last 19 batters in a gritty, heroic performance that gave the Dodgers the win and a 3-2 lead in the Series.
The game was high drama throughout, and though Erskine wasn't anywhere near perfect, it was still a memorable display of courage and determination by a pitcher who was never overpowering but always skillful and competitive.
For me, though, the end result was perfect.

I was at Nolan Ryan's first no-hitter in KC versus the Royals. He was just unhittable that day.

He was, I had to see it on KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles with Dick Enberg announcing the game with Don Drysdale.
Exactly two months to the day in Detroit, he pitched his second no-hitter with an astonishing 17 strikeouts, which tied the daytime record at the time (If I remember correctly). Norm Cash came to bat with a table leg and the infamous Ron Luciano was behind the plate calling balls and strikes. The Angels scored like four uns in the top of the ninth and stiffened Ryan's arm so he did not stike out any in the ninth inning. It was a great game yo see, even on TV.
Well, generally, if you throw a no-hitter . . .

xFIP?! I laugh at you!
I've seen two no-hitters in person. In 1992 I saw the Dodgers' Kevin Gross no-hit my Giants. And in 1994 I say Kent Merker no-hit the Dodgers. Both Games were at Dodger Stadium. I also saw Hideo Nomo throw a one-hitter against my Giants in 1995. h The only hit was an infield single.

The one that has always stood out in my mind was Milt Wilcox's flirtation with a perfect game in 1983 for the Tigers. He was a solid number 3 starter for the Tigers, who would go on to win 92 games that year, but he just had it that day. Pinch hitter Jerry Hairston broke up the perfecto with a first pitch single with two outs in the ninth.
When Jack Morris pitched a no-hitter in his second (?) start the following year, the local news kept referencing Wilcox's close but no cigar game.

I would go with the Clemens game as well. His fastball was high 90's with insane movement, his splitter was great, and even his rarely used slider was unhittable. Some honorable mentions:
Clemens in 2000 WS against Mets
Mussina's near perfect game in Boston

Che Guevara - Havanna
Che Guevara, real name Ernesto Guevara (1928-1967), Latin American guerrilla leader and revolutionary theorist, who became a hero to the New Left radicals of the 1960s. Born into a middle-class family in Rosario, Argentina, Guevara received a medical degree from the University of Buenos Aires in 1953. Convinced that revolution was the only remedy for Latin America's social inequities, in 1954 he went to Mexico, where he joined exiled Cuban revolutionaries under Fidel Castro. In the late 1950s, he played an important role in Castro's guerrilla war against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, and when Castro came to power, he served as Cuba's minister of industry (1961-1965). A strong opponent of U.S. influence in the Third World, he helped guide the Castro regime on its leftward and pro-Communist path. The author of two books on guerrilla warfare, Guevara advocated peasant-based revolutionary movements in the developing countries. He disappeared from Cuba in 1965, reappearing the following year as an insurgent leader in Bolivia. He was captured by the Bolivian army and executed near Vallegrande on October 8, 1967. Born in Argentina and trained as a physician, Che Guevara became a military commander for Fidel Castro from 1956 to 1959, during the Cuban revolution. Guevara opposed United States intervention in Latin American affairs and believed that only violent revolution could remedy the poverty of the masses. Guevara wrote two books about guerrilla warfare and led guerrilla forces in South American countries. He was captured and killed by Bolivian troops while leading a guerrilla band trying to overthrow the Bolivian government. Aprendimos a quererte desde la histórica altura donde el sol de tu bravura le puso un cerco a la muerte. Aquí se queda la clara, la entrañable transparencia, de tu querida presencia Comandante Che Guevara. Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte sobre la historia dispara cuando todo Santa Clara se despierta para verte. Aquí se queda la clara, la entrañable transparencia, de tu querida presencia Comandante Che Guevara. Vienes quemando la brisa con soles de primavera para plantar la bandera con la luz de tu sonrisa. Aquí se queda la clara, la entrañable transparencia, de tu querida presencia Comandante Che Guevara. Tu amor revolucionario te conduce a nueva empresa donde esperan la firmeza de tu brazo libertario. Aquí se queda la clara, la entrañable transparencia, de tu querida presencia Comandante Che Guevara. Seguiremos adelante como junto a ti seguimos y con Fidel te decimos: hasta siempre Comandante. Aquí se queda la clara, la entrañable transparencia, de tu querida presencia Comandante Che Guevara. (Carlos Puebla, 1965)

13 Best Grammy Gowns of All Time
Rachel M Johnson
Rachel M. Johnson is a lover of all things pop culture. She's been writing about music and entertainment online for over two years.
With the 61st Annual Grammy Awards ceremony set to be held on February 10, fans and music lovers alike can expect their favorite A-list acts to deliver on the red carpet. From J-Lo to Rihanna, Mariah Carey to Britney Spears, our favorite celebrities know how to work a gown. In honor of the upcoming show, let's take a look back at some of the best Grammy gowns of all time.
Jennifer Lopez: 2000
Jennifer Lopez wore the iconic green Versace silk chiffon gown to the 2000 Grammy Awards, and ultimately helped launch Google images in the process. The sheer fabric had a tropical leaf and bamboo pattern that included a very low neckline that extended well below Lopez's navel, and the waist of the dress was studded with citrines. The singer made headlines and garnered enormous media coverage by wearing the number; it was also downloaded from the Grammy website a whopping 642,917 times in just 24 hours. Lopez herself was shocked by the attention from the look, having once said, "It was a nice dress. I had no idea it was going to become such a big deal." The gown has since become arguably the most famous Grammys look ever.
Rihanna: 2013
Rihanna looked ravishing in red when she showed up to the 2013 Grammys wearing this sheer red Azzedine Alaia gown with a bold matching lip. The structured bodice and dramatic train paired stunningly with her long wavy curls and minimalist Neil Lane jewelry. The Barbadian beauty really took a chance by wearing such a sheer look, and certainly gave photographers and fellow attendees something to talk about. While the sheer material revealed the fact that the songstress had nothing on underneath, Rihanna looked absolutely radiant and clearly knows how to steal the show.
Selena: 1994
The late and beloved singer attended the 1994 Grammys in a gorgeous white beaded gown, where she would become the first Tejano artist to win the title for Best Mexican/American Album. The beauty wore her hair in a flirty up-do that had plenty of volume, and the sparkly gown accentuated her stunning figure. It was reported she also designed the lovely look herself. With a bold red lip and big earrings, Selena truly captured the attention of everyone watching. Her sister Suzette reminisced to Entertainment Tonight how memorable the night was, having once expressed, "Honestly, I think it was the only time that I really got kind of choked up because she looked like perfection. She looked like a true artist, it was a really cool moment."
Taylor Swift: 2016
The hit-maker donned this daring and colorful two piece, Atelier Versace ensemble at the 2016 Grammys. The orange bandeau top matched her lipstick shade and the hot pink skirt was flirty and just the right amount of sexy. Swift's mile-long legs were on full display, and the outfit was custom made for her. The look was paired with a diamond choker and Stuart Weitzman heels, and the songstress wore her freshly chopped bob in a straight and sleek style. The two-piece ensemble not only made the singer stand out, but it also topped many best dressed lists and has become one of the greatest Grammy fashion moments.
Britney Spears: 2000
Britney Spears looked like a modern-day (or rather 2000s) Marilyn Monroe when she wore this stylish white Randolph Duke gown and Oscar de la Renta fur stole. The pop princess looked sleek and sexy at the 2000 Awards show, where she rocked the plunging-neckline gown and paired it with a simple diamond necklace. The singer's signature blonde tresses were straightened and worn down, and the whole outfit looked effortlessly chic and glamorous. The all-white combination has since become one of her most iconic red carpet moments ever, and is one the Grammys will never forget.
Mariah Carey: 1991
The pop icon attended the 1991 ceremony rocking a little black dress with rhinestone trim and long diamond earrings, appearing both sexy and sophisticated. She wore her then-signature curls with the curve-hugging mini dress and strappy heels that was simple yet perfectly captured the singer's star quality. Carey would take home two Grammy Awards that night, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Vision of Love." Though the dress and laid back style is quite different from the pop diva's modern day fashion, the LBD remains a great Grammy look.
Toni Braxton: 1997
The R&B songstress arrived at the 1997 Grammys in a sporty white mermaid gown with detailed mesh panels along each side. The athletic cut accentuated Braxton's fabulous figure and with her hair slicked back, the singer looked fresh and fierce. Her make-up and deep lip shade added a pop that complimented the whole ensemble, and the minimal jewelry kept the focus on the gown. Braxton nabbed two of the three Grammy Awards she was nominated for that night, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Katy Perry: 2012
Katy Perry has always been a fashion chameleon, and she has never been afraid to take style risks. Her 2012 Grammys look was definitely one of her very best and truly embodied Perry's fashion evolution. The powder blue Ellie Saab gown was covered in soft, sheer applique that managed to be the perfect combination of sultry yet feminine. The shade complimented her warm skin tone, and paired well with her electric blue hair that she wore in a sleek up-do. The singer added a pink lip for more color pop, which helped add a softness to the overall look.
Beyonce: 2014
The singer looked stunning in white when she wore this peek-a-boo Michael Costello Couture gown to the 2014 Grammy Awards. The dress had a floral pattern that was strategically placed in all the right places, and perfectly highlighted her enviable figure. The sheer detailing added just the right amount of sexiness and paired perfectly with the open back that added an additional wow factor to the look. Her tousled lob was wavy and complimented the whole ensemble, and her choice of a berry lip color really made everything pop. The floral gown remains a fabulous Grammy gown moment.
Christina Aguilera: 2007
The blonde beauty rocked this Emanuel Ungaro gown with purple trim and a beige bow at the 2007 Grammys, where she wore her curls in a vintage style that paired stunningly with her bronzed-goddess skin. The songstress embraced her retro album style with a matching red carpet gown that was both unique and sexy all at the same time. Aguilera brought Old Hollywood glamour with the look and with her platinum waves, winged eye make-up and body hugging gown. Aguilera demanded the attention of everyone at the ceremony.
Fergie: 2008
The "Fergalicious" singer managed to make a tough-to-wear canary yellow look oh-so-good when she donned this Calvin Klein column gown to the 2008 ceremony. Her gold Jimmy Choo heels and statement making diamond necklace paired beautifully with her blonde, voluminous curls which she wore loose over she shoulders. The gown was draped elegantly and while it was simplistic in its styling, Fergie rocked the ensemble perfectly. The bold and unique color choice makes Fergie's Grammy look a stand-out fashion moment.
Of course the ultimate fashionista Rihanna is on this list twice; the beauty is a trendsetter and is never afraid to embrace unique and dramatic looks. The Giambattisa Valli bright pink gown featured a strapless neckline and a massive frothy tiered pink skirt that is arguably one of the puffiest dresses to ever grace the red carpet. The "Love on the Brain" singer made quite the statement with the gown, but kept the rest of her look simple; she wore her hair pulled back, minimal make-up and accessorized with diamond stud earrings and diamond rings. Few could pull off such a look, but Rihanna did so effortlessly.
Alicia Keys: 2006
The R&B crooner turned heads when she showed up to the 2006 Grammy Awards in a sexy Armani Prive black beaded gown with a plunging v-neck. The number also had a dramatic low back and front slit that made the singer look both daring and chic. She wore her hair swept back in an elegant up-do, and accessorized with large diamond hoop earrings and matching bracelet. Keys kept her make-up simple and natural, which paired wonderfully with the outfit. The whole look was glamorous, and the way the gown hugged her body gave it a slinky and sophisticated feel.

The Council of Trent (Italian: Trento) was an ecumenical council of the Catholic Church held in discontinuous sessions between 1545 and 1563 in response to the Protestant Reformation. It clearly specified Catholic doctrines on salvation, the sacramentss and the Biblical canon, in opposition to the Protestants, and standardised the Mass throughout the church, largely abolishing local variations; this became called the Tridentine Mass, after Trent.
The nineteenth (or, according to another reckoning, the eighteenth) of the ecumenical councils recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, the Council of Trent takes its name from the place where it was held, a city in the southern and Italian part of the Tyrol (73 miles north west of Venice), and lasted, with interruptions, from December 13, 1545, to December 4, 1563.

A Protestant view of the Council from Schaff-Herzog Encyc of Religion
From a doctrinal and disciplinary point of view, it was the most important council in the history of the Roman church, fixing her distinctive faith and practice in relation to the Protestant Evangelical churches. Its decrees were supplemented by the First Vatican Council of 1870.
Occasion, Sessions, and Attendance
In reply to the bull Exsurge Domine of Pope Leo X (1520), Martin Luther had burned the document and appealed to a general council. From 1522 German diets joined in the appeal, and Charles V seconded and pressed it as a means of settling the controversy started by the Reformation and of reunifying the Church. After the deliverances of Pope Pius II in his bull Execrabilis (1460) and his reply to the University of Cologne (1463), setting aside the theory of the supremacy of general councils laid down by the Council of Constance, it was the papal policy to avoid councils and the free discussions they developed.
Unable, however, to resist the urgency of Charles V, Pope Paul III, after proposing Mantua as the place of meeting, convened the council as exclusively Roman at Trent (at that time a free city of the Holy Roman Empire under a prince-bishop), on Dec. 13, 1545; it was transferred to Bologna in Mar., 1547 from fear of the plague; indefinitely prorogued, Sept. 17, 1549; reopened at Trent, May 1, 1551, by Pope Julius III; broken up by the sudden victory of Elector Maurice of Saxony over the Emperor Charles V., and his march into Tyrol, Apr. 28, 1552; and recalled by Pope Pius IV for the last time, Jan. 18, 1562, when it continued to its final adjournment, Dec. 4, 1563. It closed with "Anathema to all heretics, anathema, anathema."
The history of the council is divided into three distinct periods; from 1545 to 1549, from 1551 to 1552, and from 1562 to 1563. The last was the most important. The number of attending members in the three periods varied considerably. It increased toward the close, but never reached the number of the first ecumenical council at Nicaea, (which had 318 members), nor of the last of the Vatican (which numbered 764). The decrees were signed by 255 members, including four papal legates, two cardinals, three patriarchs, twenty-five archbishops, 168 bishops, two-thirds of them being Italians. Lists of the signers are added to the best editions of the decrees. England was represented by Cardinal Reginald Pole, Richard Pate, bishop of Worcester, and after 1562 by Thomas Goldwell, bishop of St. Asaph; Ireland by three bishops, and Germany at no time by more than eight. The Italian and Spanish prelates were vastly preponderant in power and numbers. At the passage of the most important decrees not more than sixty prelates were present.
Objects and General Results
The object of the council was twofold:
to condemn the principles and doctrines of Protestantism, and to define the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church on all disputed points. It is true the emperor intended it to be a strictly general or truly ecumenical council, at which the Protestants should have a fair hearing. He secured, during the council's second period, 1551-52, an invitation, twice given, to the Protestants to be present, and the council issued a letter of safe-conduct (thirteenth session) and offered them the right of discussion, but denied them a vote. Melanchthon and Johann Brenz, with some other German Lutherans, actually started in 1552 on the journey to Trent. Brenz offered a confession, and Melanchthon, who got no farther than Nuremberg, took with him the irenic statement known as the Confessio Saxonica. But the refusal to give to the Protestants the right to vote and the consternation produced by the success of Maurice in his campaign against Charles V. in 1552 effectually put an end to Protestant cooperation.
To effect a reformation in discipline or administration. This object had been one of the causes calling forth the reformatory councils, and had been lightly touched upon by the Fifth Lateran under Pope Julius II and Pope Leo X. The corrupt administration of the Church was one of the secondary causes of the Reformation. Twenty-five public sessions were held, but nearly half of them were spent in solemn formalities. The chief work was done in committees or congregations. The entire management was in the hands of the papal legatee. The court of Rome, by diplomacy and intrigue, outwitted all the liberal elements. The council abolished some crying abuses, and introduced or recommended disciplinary reforms affecting the sale of indulgences, the morals of convents, the education of the clergy, the non-residence of bishops, and the careless fulmination of censures, and forbade the duel. These deliverances had a salutary influence on the church. But in regard to the department of doctrine, although liberal evangelical sentiments were uttered by some of the ablest members in favor of the supreme authority of the Scriptures, and justification by faith, no concession whatever was made to Protestantism.
The doctrinal decisions of the council are divided into decrees (decreta), which contain the positive statement of the Roman dogmas, and into short canons (canones), which condemn the dissenting Protestant views with the concluding "anathema sit." They are stated with great clearness, precision, and wisdom. The decree on justification betrays special ability and theological circumspection. The Protestant doctrines, however, are almost always exhibited in an exaggerated form, and mixed up with real heresies, which Protestants condemn as emphatically as the Church of Rome.
The Canons and Decrees
The doctrinal acts are as follows: after reaffirming the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (third session), the decree was passed (fourth session) placing the Apocrypha on a par with the other books of the canon and coordinating church tradition with the Scriptures as a rule of faith. The Vulgate translation was affirmed to be authoritative for the text of Scripture.
Justification (sixth session) was declared to be offered upon the basis of faith and good works as opposed to the Protestant doctrine of faith alone, and faith was treated as a progressive work.
The sacramental nature of the seven sacraments was affirmed and the eucharist pronounced a veritable propitiatory sacrifice as well as a sacrament, in which the bread and wine were converted into the body and blood of Christ (thirteenth and twenty-second sessions). It is to be offered for dead and living alike and in giving to the apostles the command "do this in remembrance of me," Christ conferred upon them a sacerdotal power. The practice of withholding the cup from the laity was confirmed (twenty-first session) as one which the Church had commanded from of old for good and sufficient reasons; yet in certain cases the pope was made the supreme arbiter as to whether the rule should be strictly maintained.
Ordination (twenty-third session) was given an indelible character. The priesthood of the New Testament takes the place of the Levitical priesthood. To the performance of its functions, the consent of the people is not necessary.
In the decrees on marriage (twenty-fourth session) the excellence of the celibate state was reaffirmed, concubinage condemned, and the validity of marriage made dependent upon its being performed before a priest and two witnesses. In the case of a divorce the right of the innocent party to marry again is denied so long as the guilty party is alive, even though the other have committed adultery.
In the twenty-fifth and last session, the doctrines of purgatory, the invocation of saints, and the worship of relics are reaffirmed, as also the efficacy of indulgences as dispensed by the Church according to the power given her, but with some cautionary recommendations.
The council appointed, 1562 (eighteenth session), a commission to prepare a list of forbidden books (Index librorum prohibitorum), but it later left the matter to the action of the pope. The preparation of a catechism and revised editions of the Breviary and Missal were also left to the pope.
On adjourning, the synod begged the supreme pontiff to ratify all its decrees and definitions. This petition was complied with by Pius IV, Jan. 26, 1564, in a bull which enjoins strict obedience upon all Roman Catholics, and forbids, under pain of excommunication, all unauthorized interpretation, reserving this to the pope alone, and threatening the disobedient with "the indignation of Almighty God and of his blessed apostles, Peter and Paul." Pius appointed a commission of cardinals to assist him in interpreting and enforcing the decrees.
The Index librorum prohibitorum was announced 1564, and the following books were issued with the papal imprimatur: the Profession of the Tridentine Faith and the Tridentine Catechism (1566), the Breviary (1568), the Missal (1570), and the Vulgate (1590, and then 1592).
The decrees of the council were acknowledged in Italy, Portugal, Poland, and by the Roman Catholic princes of Germany at the diet of 1566. Philip II. accepted them for Spain, Netherland, and Sicily so far as they did not infringe on the royal prerogative. In France they were officially recognized by the king only in their doctrinal parts. The disciplinary sections received official recognition at provincial synods and were enforced by the bishops. No attempt was made to introduce it into England. Pius IV. sent the decrees to Mary, queen of Scots, with a letter dated June 13, 1564, requesting her to publish them in Scotland; but she dared not do it in the face of John Knox and the Reformation.
Publication of Documents
The canons and decrees of the council have been published very often and in many languages (for a large list consult British Museum Catalogue, under "Trent, Council of"). The first issue was by P. Manutius (Rome, 1564). The best Latin editions are by J. Le Plat (Antwerp, 1779), and by F. Schulte and A. L. Richter (Leipsig, 1853). Other good editions are in vol. vii. of the Acta et decreta conciliorum recentiorum. Collectio Lacensis (7 vols., Freiburg, 1870-90), reissued as as independent volume (1892); Concilium Tridentinum: Diariorum, actorum, epastularum, ... collectio, ed. S. Merkle (4 vols., Freiburg, 1901 sqq.; only vols. i.-iv. have as yet appeared); not to overlook Mansi, Concilia, xxxv. 345 sqq. Note also Mirbt, Quellen, 2d ed, pp. 202-255. The best English edition is by J. Waterworth (London, 1848; With Essays on the External and Internal History of the Council).
The original acts and debates of the council, as prepared by its general secretary, Bishop Angelo Massarelli, in six large folio volumes, are deposited in the Vatican library, and remained there unpublished for more than 300 years, and were brought to light, though only in part, by Augustin Theiner, priest of the oratory (d. 1874), in Acta genuina sancti et oecumenici Concilii Tridentini nunc primum integre edita (2 vols., Leipzig, 1874).
Most of the official documents and private reports, however, which bear upon the council, were made known in the sixteenth century and since. The most complete collection of them is that of J. Le Plat, Monumentorum ad historicam Concilii Tridentini collectio (7 vols., Louvain, 1781-87). New materials were brought to light by J. Mendham, Memoirs of the Council of Trent (London, 1834-36), from the manuscript history of Cardinal Paleotto; more recently by T. Sickel, Actenst�cke aus �sterreichischen Archiven (Vienna, 1872); by JJI von D�llinger (Ungedruckte Berichte und Tageb�cher zur Geschichte des Concilii von Trient (2 parts, N�rdlingen, 1876); and A. von Druffel, Monumenta Tridentina (Munich, 1884-97).

Google research paper confirms significant increase in number of malware-serving websites.
Recent reports of increasing numbers of websites serving malicious content have been confirmed in a paper published by researchers from Google.
Though these numbers may seem insignificant among the billions of websites on the internet, more than 1% of all Google search results pages now contain at least one site serving malware, a figure which has quadrupled in the past nine months.
Not surprisingly, users who visit websites with adult content have a higher risk of running into malware. However, this does not mean that these are the only sites that pose a threat, as malware was found on every type of website, according to the Open Directory Project categorisation of websites. In fact, most malware-serving websites are genuine sites that have been compromised. This may be partly the fault of website administrators, as over 38% of malware-serving websites that run the Apache server software use an out-of-date version, with another 26% not reporting their version number. 40% of the PHP versions in use were also found to be out of date.
The researchers also looked into the global distribution of malicious websites. Of the sites serving malware, as well as of those actually hosting the malware, two thirds are located in China, with the United States and Russia taking second and third place in both categories. However, these figures vary greatly from country to country. For instance, for 96% of Chinese websites serving malware, the malware is also hosted in China.
The paper confirms a worrying trend of increasing numbers of genuine websites serving malware, and implies that the former 'safe browsing' strategy of visiting only trusted sites is fast becoming impossible to implement. Web users can protect themselves by ensuring they run reputable security software and keeping it updated, and web administrators must ensure they run up-to-date versions of server software and keep their sites clean.

The Work of Andrew Wyeth and Keith Haring
Andrew Wyeth 1917-2009
According to Andrew Wyeth's youngest son, Jamie, Wyeth went into a "tailspin" in the 1990s when he saw a photograph of a friend in a coffin at a funeral viewing.
Kuerner's Hill, circa 1991–94
Wyeth made more than a dozen drawings of his imagined funeral. One of the drawings shows family, friends and neighbors surrounding his coffin at the base of Kuerner's Hill in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, near the site where his father and three-year-old nephew were killed when their car was hit by a freight train.
Helen Sipala 8, circa 1991-94
Another drawing depicts a neighbor, Helen Sipala, viewing Wyeth's body. The artist rarely drew his own image; the drawing is a rare self-portrait.
The drawings have recently been rediscovered and will be on public display, for the first time, at the Colby College Museum of Art in Waterville, Maine. Andrew Wyeth: Life and Death will be on exhibit from June 2 through October 16, 2022.
Olson House
Inscribed lower right: To Christina and Alvaro from Betsy and Andy
Many of Wyeth's works were inspired by the Olson House in Cushing, Maine, where Wyeth set up a studio. Wyeth painted more than 300 studies of the 1700s farmhouse, the home of Christina Olson and her brother, Alvaro. Christina was the inspiration for Christina's World. Wyeth is buried at a cemetery on the grounds of the house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is owned by the Farnsworth Art Museum.
Andrew Wyeth's watercolor of the Olson House, available at Surovek Gallery, is a wonderful example of the fondness that the artist had, not just for the house, but for its inhabitants, as well.
Keith Haring 1958-1990
The style of Keith Haring is instantly recognizable. Haring was one of the twentieth century's most unique artists.
Growing, 1988
One of a complete set of five screenprints in colors, each signed in pencil, dated and inscribed 'Ap 8/15', artists proofs aside from the numbered edition of 100, on Lenox Museum Board.
Sheet size: 30 x 40 1/8 inches
Haring was inspired by a 1977 retrospective of the work of Belgian-born artist, Pierre Alechinsky and by a lecture given by the artist, Christo, about Alechinsky.
Peau Neuve, 1973
From the private collection of Keith Haring
Alechinsky is 94, and lives and works in Bougival, near Paris. In 2018 he was awarded Japan's Praemium Imperiale prize for his artwork.
The works of both artists will be exhibited at the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale. Keith Haring and Pierre Alechinsky will be shown from February 27 through September 25, 2022.
