Quote of the day: If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.
There are days when I absolutely do not want to cook or rather get into the kitchen itself. My passion takes a backseat on these days and I end up cooking something just for the sake of it which in turn ends up in the refrigerator waiting to be thrown away.
Today was one such day and I decided to make a decent side dish what my daughter likes so that there are no left overs.
I made a simple gravy with soy granules which she loves. A simple but flavorful and healthy side dish for rotis.
Prepare the granules according to the instruction on the packet and set aside.
Heat oil in a kadai/pan, add chopped onions and sauté till the onions turn soft.
Now add ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute.
Add chilli powder, turmeric powder.ground masala powder and salt and combine well.
Immediately add the chopped tomatoes and sauté well for few minutes and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and a nice masala forms.
Stir in between. Now add the prepared granules and mix well.
Add ½ cup of water and bring to a boil. Simmer on medium heat untill you get the desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with rotis.
TIPS: Coconut paste or Cashew paste can be added to the gravy to make it little thicker.
Loved this very much,got to try soon!
Looks perfect with the rotis!
wow very yummy perfect ..
Woww soya masala looks super delicious,prefect pair to enjoy with rotis..
Soya masala looks delicious. Making me to try now itself.
Delicious - love the masala!!
Yummy! Even I make something similar to yours and I usually add some spinach to the soya granules as my husband loves spinach.
I am totally impressed...looks too good.
This looks very nice. bookmarked.
The pics look good... may be i will post mine soon.
Lovely!! It has been really long since I had soy granules. I should add it to my shopping cart next time.
This one looks so yummy and easy to make...can't wait to taste it!

Making Memories & Keeping Old Ones Alive
By Bridgette Waldau and Brad Phares
Photos courtesy of Brad Phares
National Wreaths Across America Day is a tribute to all veterans, from the Revolutionary War to present- day conflicts and is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of each December. Inspired by one man's appreciation of our great nation and those who have fought to protect our freedoms, Wreaths Across America was founded in 2007 with its fundamental mission being to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" adults and children an appreciation for our country and our veterans. While educational outreach activities and fundraising events occur throughout the year, the primary fulfillment of this mission is achieved through coordinated wreath laying ceremonies at more than 1,400 locations in the US and abroad, including the revered Arlington National Cemetery."
Locally here in Florida's heartland, Okeechobee resident Brad Phares serves as a Location Coordinator for Wreaths Across America. When asked how he became involved with the program, Brad said, "The wreath laying ceremony is a somber and reverent experience that leaves an indelible impression on your heart. I don't think I'm guilty of using an over-generalization by saying that. I think it's a fair assessment of how the vast majority of people who attend a wreath laying ceremony feel." He attended his first ceremony in 2015 at the Forest Hills Memorial Park in Palm City. "Our close family friends Mark and Karen Zook lost their son, Marine corporal Ian Zook, to an improvised explosive device while serving in Iraq in 2004, and as a Gold Star Family they were inspired to get involved with Wreaths Across America, starting the program there." Brad was so moved that he wrote a poem about his experience. "Having written a fair amount of cowboy poetry over the years, I've come to learn that some poems seem to write themselves, and this was definitely one of those times." After sharing the poem with the Zooks, they invited him to their 2016 event to share it as part of the ceremony.
"Forest Hills had around 300 extra wreaths that year and donated them to be brought to Evergreen Cemetery in Okeechobee. We covered as many gravestones as we could and set up a memorial display in Veterans Park downtown so that we could begin our own tradition of remembering, honoring, and teaching." Brad's father Bill, who had served as a Specialist 5 (Crew Chief/Door Gunner) with the Army's 282nd Assault Helicopter Company during the Vietnam War, had passed away in March 2016, further bolstering Brad's decision to become more involved with the program.
Together with his wife Sam and Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Community Liaison/Public Information Officer Jack Nash, Brad coordinated the first formal Wreaths Across America event held at Okeechobee's Evergreen Cemetery in 2017. According to Brad, "With myself serving as the captain for our department's volunteer Mounted Posse and Jack's enthusiastic support as a full-time employee, it was a natural fit for the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office to take a very active role in our local program. Sheriff Noel Stephen never falters in providing us with needed resources and logistics. He's a huge advocate for our veteran community and has been a tremendous blessing to us in fulfilling our WAA mission here locally."
Traditionally, the national model has been for each cemetery to be an individual location, but as a small community with three cemeteries scattered across a large county, Okeechobee's volunteers have deviated from that pattern by seeking to raise funds enough to meet the needs for all three cemeteries: Evergreen, Ft. Drum, and Basinger. "Technically speaking, each location should be addressed separately, but we don't want to confuse people and give the impression of having opposing fundraisers," Brad explains. With approximately 900-1,000 veterans interred at Evergreen, plus the needs of the other two locations, the group seeks to raise funds sufficient to place wreaths on roughly 1,300 gravestones.
While the national organization provides an outline for the annual event to maintain a level of uniformity at the ceremonies, they also allow some flexibility for communities to represent their individual character. In Okeechobee, that has entailed the inclusion of local civic groups, the local Eagle Riders motorcycle club, mounted Sheriff's Posse officers, and various youth groups participating as a community service project.
As part of the national organization's protocol, eight ceremonial wreaths are present at each ceremony, representing the eight branches of the United States Uniformed Services – Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (MIA/POW), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (Merchant Marines). For Okeechobee's ceremony, and as a way of showing honor and respect for their past service, local veterans are chosen to place the ceremonial wreath representing their branch of the military. Following the placement of the ceremonial wreaths, the gathered crowd will hear from a guest speaker before being invited to help place the wreaths for the veterans throughout the cemetery.
Individual wreaths cost $15 or three for $30. In the event there are additional funds remaining after the wreaths are purchased and the local goal is met, the location can elect to carry the funds over to the following year's event or donate extra wreaths to other locations like Arlington National Cemetery or one determined by the national organization. For Okeechobee, some years they carry the funds over, but in other years such as 2021, Brad and his family transported roughly 300 wreaths to veteran gravesites at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in north Saint Lucie County.
When asked about the growth of the local effort, Brad noted, "We've come quite a long way in five years of holding these ceremonies. We knew we'd have great support from the people and businesses in our community who are always so generous, but it's been very inspiring to watch everything about this effort evolve. The only year we didn't hold official ceremonies was during the peak of COVID in 2020 out of concern for our veterans, many of whom fell into that grouping of highly at-risk persons. The local businesses carried the load for us in those first few years, but now it's reached a point where individuals are contributing the majority, and especially those individuals affiliated with civic associations like the VFW, American Legion, The Fraternal Order of Eagles, DAR, SAR, and many more." And just as the group from Forest Hills Cemetery helped bring Wreaths Across America to Okeechobee County, Okeechobee's fundraising group helped germinate a WAA location in Glades County."
Okeechobee resident and WAA supporter Carol Shipman poured her heart and soul into sitting outside of Publix on numerous occasions collecting donations for Okeechobee's WAA fundraising effort. Two members of VFW Post 10539, Joan Rhoden and Naomi "Timmie" Oldiges, were game changers when they stepped forward to take on a more active role with the local fundraising effort right as they were most needed. They helped organize several events such as a poker run in conjunction with the Glades County WAA group and a BBQ fundraiser with Ding-a-Ling Deli Restaurant.
"Our local program really took off and blossomed right as personal responsibilities and obligations for both me and Jack began to escalate," says Brad. "We were feeling the strain of meeting all our goals and organizing the event, and it's a tremendous amount of pressure because when it comes to honoring and supporting our veterans, failure really isn't an option. Timmie and Joan approached us to help with the fundraising side of things with perfect timing. They had the biggest resource available that Jack and I did not—ample free time to focus solely on fundraising—and they've done a superb job at it. Now, Jack and I focus on logistics, they focus on fundraising, and we all meet the mission goal as a team."
This year's ceremony, with a theme of "Find A Way To Serve," will be held on Saturday, December 17th at noon by the flagpole at Evergreen Cemetery. Members of the public are invited to attend and be a part of this poignant experience.
For more information on how you can donate or otherwise assist, please contact Brad at bphares@me.com.

Russian Orthodox Church vows breakup with Constantinople if autocephaly granted to Ukraine church
Politics 1 min. 3481
Once communication is broken off, Constantinople will not have any rights to claim leadership in the Orthodox world, according to a Russian cleric.
Photo from UNIAN
The Russian Orthodox Church threatened to break off relations with Orthodox Christianity's leading body - the Patriarchate of Constantinople - if it endorses the new self-governing, or autocephalous, Ukrainian Church.
In an interview in Moscow on Saturday, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, said that the Russian Orthodox Church wil sever ties with Constantinople if a decision is made there to grant autocephaly to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kyiv Patriarchate, according to TASS.
"The Russian Orthodox Church will not accept this decision," the cleric said.

He added that, once communication is broken off, "Constantinople will not have any rights to claim leadership in the Orthodox world."
The ROC believes that Constantinople's moves are "sneaky and treacherous" with regard to Moscow's position on the Ukraine issue and that the situation means "the legitimization of the split in Ukraine."
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Ecumenical Patriarchate has appointed two Exarchs in Kyiv as part of preparations for granting autocephaly to Ukraine's Orthodox church.
Further measures, such as the adoption of documents at the Synod, are expected to be taken in October.

An Aircraft Ballistic Recovery System is a rocket deployed parachute that enables an aircraft that encounters problems (such as engine failure, loss of control, icing and fuel exhaustion, etc.) to gradually descend to the ground thus giving a greater chance of survival or avoidance of serious injury. This type of system has been around for a number of years and was initially used by the USA military for recovery of their unmanned airborne surveillance platforms as the equipment carried on them was expensive and classified. National Aeronautics and Space Administration also used a similar system on the command capsules of the Apollo moon missions.
The system consists of a parachute and its solid fuel rocket deploying container which is usually located in the rear tail section of the aircraft's fuselage. A cable runs from the container to an operating handle situated usually above the pilot in the roof of the cabin. The cable runs through the cabin hidden above the ceiling trim.
Once the handle has been pulled the rocket punches through a fragile section of the fuselage (similar to an air bag in a vehicle) and accelerates away at approximately 50m per second. After the parachute is completely extracted and exposed to the relative wind, it begins to inflate, generating drag forces to decelerate the airplane. The magnitude of these drag forces, or inflation loads, for a particular parachute design is a function of the airplane's weight, the airspeed at deployment, and the rate of inflation.
The drag of the aircraft causes more fragile sections along the fuselage to breakup so that when the parachute has fully deployed the aircraft will settle into and descend with the nose slightly lower than the tail. The aircraft will descend at a rate of approximately 1000 to 1500 feet per minute.
putting the lives of the occupants and/or emergency rescue services at risk when evacuating or recovering the wreckage (if there are no disarming specialists present).
Usually, no records are kept of aircraft equipped with ballistic recovery systems. Therefore there is no way to be certain whether a particular aircraft is equipped or not.
When exposed to heat (e.g. due to a post crash fire), the explosives may go off.
The explosives may go off when heated even if they are subsequently cooled (in case chemical decomposition has already started due to the heating).
The explosives may go off if subject to slow continuous heating. This may happen hours after the heating has started.
Explosives age naturally. The process is accelerated if they are subjected to higher temperatures (e.g. 60-70 degrees Celsius). Ageing leads to instability.
Friction or impact may cause set off.
Depending on the rocket fuel and booster material (e.g. magnesium) use of water as an extinguisher can be hazardous(a chemical reaction may release hydrogen creating a highly explosive gas mixture).
Clear identification that the aircraft is equipped with such a system.
Registry of all equipped aircraft (i.e. if an aircraft is registered with a regulatory authority, it should be clearly stated whether or not it is equipped).
Fitting the rockets with heat markers and adding the inspection of these markers in relevant check-lists.
Inclusion of residual life verification in relevant check-lists.
Inclusion of a cutout system that separates the igniter from the rocket. This would reduce the risk of accidentally deploying the rocket during a rescue operation.
Clear identification of hangars that house equipped aircraft. This would be helpful in case of e.g. hangar fire.
Inclusion of relevant training for pilots of equipped aircraft and rescue crews.
Note: The guidance contained in this section is not supposed to supersede or replace local procedures.
if the fire is in a hangar and the temperatures reached are less 90 degrees Celsius then the heat indicators need to be checked and if they confirm that the temperature has been below 90 degrees, the emergency services can switch to standard normal operating procedures.
in case of wreckage salvaging after an accident a disposal squad should be called in.

There won't be CD's...They won't print 10 or 15 re-release without any bonus content, nobody would buy it. AOA and PLEC were flops.If even Prince's fan doesn't buy his new releases, why would they bother to buy an album they already have ?
Releasing it digitally is the best option financially. Unless, of course, Prince is involved in the promotion, but we all know it's highly unlikely.
You don't release an album without the artist making promotion, unless you're dead, which is in itself a huge promotion.
WARNER has clearly hard time to justify the new re-release. I suspect that the non-release of PURPLE RAIN in 2014 was not only a marketing mistake, but because they hadn't any bonus material, and they hoped to find an arrangement with Prince.
AOA remained in the top 10 pop album charts for 5 weeks. I wished my album would fail that bad. With little to none radio play.
99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment
luvsexy4all
so whats the latest sales figures for AOA/PE?
greyhoodiegirl
I'd also be interested to know the sales of the albums to date

I'll pick my side: I say (if there are remasters) there will be CDs. I only say this because every week I see remasters, special editions etc of all kinds of albums that don't get any real promo' and/or are by artists that don't release or tour anymore.
But these artists are DEAD, like I said, or they add BONUS CONTENT.

In what world are you living ?
AOA spent ONE week in the top 10, and 7 week in the top 200. AOA was not even on the 300 best selling album in the USA for the year 2014 (!).
Welcome to reality.
It's bad, really bad, even without promotion. His fan doesn't support him anymore. Hell, even here some people didn't bother to buy it.
Now, he has no other option than to release his albums only digitally because nobody wants to sign him anymore. I predicted all that things, and many more. His carreer on the Billboard 200 is over, like I said last year.

110.000 in he USA would be an honest estimation and another little 100.000 outside the USA.

Opposition Senator Leila De Lima challenges President Rodrigo Duterte to fire Sandra Cam for alleged corruption. If Duterte could not fire her, De Lima said he should at least order an investigation for allegedly amassing millions of pesos in properties.
"I dare you, Mr. President, to fire Sandra Cam or at least order a bona fide investigation into her alleged amassing of properties worth hundreds of millions of pesos, including an island. That's a whiff or more than "whiff of corruption," isn't it?," she said.
Senator De Lima said Duterte deserves this for engaging the service of disreputable characters. The lady senator warns Duterte that a time may come that he would be blackmailed by these people.
De Lima continued: "She cannot be that untouchable! Or is she more privileged than Aguirre? Whom you just consigned to oblivion without nary a case or cases filed against him. Why? Kailangan mo kasing protektahan si Aguirre dahil malaki ang utang na loob mo sa kanya bilang chief enforcer of your "Destroy de Lima" edict.

Avon City Council approves plans for memory-care facility
Business to specialize in treating residents with Alzheimer's disease, dementia
Plans are moving forward for a new memory care facility to be located on Chester Road in Avon that when completed will feature five units, house up to 120 patients and employ 150 medical professionals.
By Michael Fitzpatrick | mfitzpatrick@morningjournal.com | The Morning Journal
Avon City Council passed legislation Jan. 10 clearing a major hurdle for a new assisted care facility that will specialize in treating residents with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Council passed the ordinance 7-0.
In doing so, the city granted a "special use permit" to YMLM Real Estate Holdings to build BeeHive Homes on 7.23 acres on the north side of Chester Road west of Chester Industrial Parkway.
The facility will be built in phases.
When completed, it will feature five buildings that will house up to 120 total residents while employing about 150 medical professionals, officials said.
The units will be ranch-style homes.
Plans call for each unit to be between 12,000 and 15, 000 square feet and house up to 24 residents.
Developer Michael Bruno informed the Avon Planning Commission of his intentions when he applied for the special use permit in fall 2021.
Bruno, who lives in Olmsted Falls, said he received franchise rights for BeeHive Homes in the Cleveland area.
He said he had a family member who was stricken with dementia.
Bruno said in part that is why he proceeded with plans to build a facility that helps dementia patients.
As part of the special-use permit, the developer agreed to the condition that BeeHive is responsible for all of the non emergency transportation of its residents.
The Avon Fire Department has been tasked often with having to provide non emergency transportation for residents of the more than a half-dozen assisted living facilities that already exist in the city.
The city has since passed a moratorium on construction of any new assisted care facilities, but it went into place after BeeHive appeared in front of the Planning Commission.
"This one and a nursing home submitted their applications before putting a moratorium on," said Pam Fechter, planning coordinator for the city of Avon.
Fechter said the strain has been so great on the Fire Department that at times it had to use mutual aid to respond to traffic accidents because "our guys are out" providing non emergency assistance at an assisted living facility or one of the city's rehab hospitals.
BeeHive would focus on a ratio of one caregiver for every two patients, and will be 100 percent focused on caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Bruno said.
"That's our model; that's how we're going to build our homes, as we move forward," he said.
The Planning Commission approved the project for a special use permit, but civil engineering plans for it also must have approval, Fechter said.
"He wants to break ground by the spring," she said. "He'll do one building at a time, fill the 24 beds and then start the next building."

Steep Xbox One Beta Impressions
When Steep was first announced, it looked like an amazing all-in-one snow sports adventure package. Exploring the alps (and as we later found out, Alaska via a free update) using a snowboard, skis, wing-suit, parachute – or just walking – is another one of those dreams that most people would only ever have the option of in the form of a video game. Steep aims to give players a massive open world to explore, full of different types of activities, online interactions, and challenging feats. We jumped in to the Steep beta on Xbox One, and can now reveal how well the game handles in the lounge room.
To start off, the Steep beta doesn't give you access to a lot of the map, in fact it seemed quite limited as to how far you could travel. One thing important to games like this is the ability to travel back up the mountain quickly, and while Steep has an instant fast-travel ability, it would have been nice to see the old chair lift, or possibly a helicopter travel ability like we saw in 2009's Stoked snowboarding game. There are two main games that Steep on Xbox One can be compared to: Stoked, and Snow. Stoked was a very enjoyable snowboarding game with a rather steep (no pun intended) learning curve. Once you mastered the maneuvers however, it was as rewarding and enjoyable as any Tony Hawk combo you've ever pulled off.
Steep appears to offer as much as Stoked did in regards to snowboarding, and does so with a much prettier backdrop. Snow on the other hand is a free open-world PC game that has been in development for a few years now, and is basically the only current active competitor for Steep. Youtuber Drawyah Games has created a nice side-by-side video where you can see the similarities and differences between the two:
Snow offers players both skiing and snowboarding, however as you can see from the video it is already looking aged compared to Steep and given it doesn't have the backing of a large publisher such as Ubisoft, it's doubtful Snow could come out on top in the battle for the best snow sports game.
So with that said, time to step in to the Steep beta. We found there wasn't much of an explanation needed to get started on the slopes. It's pretty much a game players can jump straight in to and immediately feel rewarded. The Steep beta first encourages you to try out the different sports, and also gives you free-roam access straight away if you want to explore the mountains at your own pace. If you continue to play through the events offered in the beta however, you'll unlock drop zones which allow you to fast travel around the map a lot easier.
All four of the sports had their own unique feel, and Steep should provide many hours of gameplay for all kinds of players. Not a fan of skiing? Jump on the snowboard. Prefer to breeze down in the air? There are two completely different options for you. The parachuting is actually very unique and has a slightly arcade feel to it. It's not the kind of sport where you would want to do loop-the-loops in real life, but in Steep it seems like it's actively encouraged, and we can't wait to see what kind of crazy things pro players get up to with the parachute once the full game gets released. The wing-suit actually felt the most limiting because there wasn't really much you can do with it. You're able to go dangerously low to the ground, and then lift yourself up into the safe space of the atmosphere, but apart from that, it didn't really feel all that 'extreme', especially if you're not in an actual race with checkpoint objectives.
Steep mainly looks like it's going to work on a points/XP system where everything you do throughout the game gives you points which you can then use to level up and unlock new abilities, similar to the Forza Horizon series' XP system. This means regardless of whether you're doing the events, the game will naturally progress and your character will become more capable as an extreme snow sports athlete. It will be interesting to see some of the more harsh terrain once the Steep beta truly opens up after launch, as right now the current map felt fairly limited in terms of how dangerous the drops were.
Our main gripe was that it doesn't seem like you were able to change between which sport you wanted to use on the fly, so therefore you couldn't just switch from wing-suit to snowboard midair or vice-versa. This could be unlockable at a later stage in the game, but it would have been nice to try it out early on in the closed Steep beta. If it doesn't become an option in the game, it means you have to come to a complete standstill on the slopes and really hinders the flow of an extreme sports game. Obviously, it's fairly realistic to have to stop to put your snowboard or parachute on, but what's not realistic is that once you come to a stop it's an instant switch of clothing/gear. It seems for some reason Ubisoft is happy to have it one way but not the other, and this unfortunately slows the gameplay to a halt many times unnecessarily.
In summary, the Steep beta gives you a good idea of what to expect in the full release in December, without spoiling too much of the epic experiences that await. It's definitely the best-looking snow sports game that has ever been made, and blows existing competition out of the water, so hopefully Ubisoft can deliver a fully polished Steep on launch that doesn't require urgent patches and updates, like we've seen with so many other titles this year.
Steep launches Friday December 2, 2016 worldwide, and is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC. For full details on pre-ordering Steep and its Gold Edition, head to the official Ubisoft store here.

All of the Bio-Design Aloe formulas contain Aloe ferox, a species of aloe that provides a natural laxative effect when taken internally. Most individuals can expect gentle relief from constipation within 24 hours. People will require different quantities and strengths of aloe, depending on their individual needs. Occasionally, some intestinal cramping may occur when first taking aloe, but this will usually pass within 1-2 days. It is normal to reduce your quantity of aloe over time, so be sure to consult with your physician if the laxative effect becomes too intense.

Camilo Ferreira Botelho Castelo Branco, né le  à Lisbonne et mort le  à São Miguel de Seide, est un écrivain portugais, considéré comme l'un des fondateurs du roman moderne portugais. Écrivain majeur de la péninsule Ibérique, c'est l'un des plus prolifiques de la littérature portugaise, spécialement du .

Biographie
La vie de Castelo Branco a été aussi riche en événements et aussi tragique que celle de ses personnages : fils naturel d'un père noble et d'une mère paysanne, placé sans être reconnu sous la tutelle de son père comme étant de « mère inconnue », il perdit celle-ci à l'âge de deux ans et fut orphelin de père à dix ans. Balloté de proche en proche, il reçut une éducation irrégulière par deux prêtres, et découvrit les grands classiques portugais, latins et ecclésiastiques pendant son adolescence.

Formé au contact de la vie quotidienne des populations de Trás-os-Montes, dans le nord du Portugal, marié à seize ans avec Joaquina Pereira, ce mariage précoce, qui semble avoir résulté d'une simple passion juvénile, n'a pas duré longtemps, car, l'année suivante le voit se préparer à entrer à l'université. À Porto, il a tâté de la médecine, avant d'abandonner pour le droit. À partir de 1848, il mène une vie de bohème pleine de passions, partageant son temps entre cafés et salons bourgeois, tout en se consacrant au journalisme.

En 1846, il s'engagea dans la révolte de Maria da Fonte, auprès de la guérilla miguéliste. En 1850, il prend part à la polémique entre Alexandre Herculano et le clergé en publiant la brochure O Clero e o Sr. Alexandre Herculano, ce qui a déplu à Herculano. Tombé amoureux d', il a eu, lorsqu'elle s'est mariée, en 1850 une crise de mysticisme, qui l'a conduit au séminaire, abandonné deux ans plus tard.

Il a connu d'autres passions tumultueuses, dont l'une le mena en prison : celle pour Ana Plácido qui devait devenir sa compagne. Devenue l'épouse d'un homme d'affaires brésilien, Camilo l'a séduite et enlevée. Capturés , ils ont tous deux été envoyés à la Cadeia da Relação, à Porto, où Camilo a rencontré et s'est lié d'amitié avec le célèbre bandit de grand chemin Zé do Telhado. Après avoir été acquitté du crime d'adultère, il à l'âge de 38 ans, il a commencé à vivre avec Ana Plácido, dont il a eu 2 autres enfants. Cette charge l'a obligé à écrire à un rythme effréné. En 1885, il obtient le titre de  vicomte de Correia Botelho..

Poète et surtout romancier de génie, admiré jusqu'en Espagne, c'est aussi un chroniqueur et un journaliste acerbe, en butte à de nombreuses inimitiés. Légitimé et fait vicomte de Correia-Botelho par le roi Louis Ier de Portugal en 1885, pensionné par le gouvernement, il a finalement épousé Ana Plácido, le . Il connut cependant une fin de vie des plus pénibles : ne trouvant pas la stabilité émotionnelle à laquelle il aspirait aux côtés de sa femme, ses enfants lui donnant d'énormes soucis, les difficultés financières, perclus de douleurs et devenu aveugle, en raison d'une syphilis, il finit par se suicider en 1890 avec un revolver, assis sur son rocking chair.

Les allégations selon lesquelles il aurait été initié à la franc-maçonnerie, en 1846, sont peu crédibles, au vu du fait qu'à peu près à la même époque, pendant la révolte de Maria da Fonte, il combattait dans les rangs de la guérilla miguéliste comme « assistant aux ordres du général écossais Reinaldo MacDonell », qui était actif dans l'Ordre de Saint Michel de l'Aile ressuscité précisément pour combattre la franc-maçonnerie. D'autre part, une grande partie de son œuvre défend des idéaux conservateurs et traditionalistes à contrepied de ceux de la franc-maçonnerie.

Sa tombe se trouve à Porto, au cimetière de Lapa.

Œuvre
À travers son œuvre très féconde (262 volumes), Castelo Branco s'est intéressé à presque tous les genres : poésie, roman, nouvelle, roman historique, théâtre, histoire, biographie, critique littéraire, traduction. On y retrouve le tempérament et la vie de l'auteur : la passion fatale s'y lie au sarcasme, le lyrisme à l'ironie, la morale au fanatisme et au cynisme, la tendresse au blasphème.

Cet écrivain à l'imagination vive, au style communicatif, naturel et coloré, au vocabulaire riche et nuancé, est un maître de la langue portugaise. Amour de perdition, publié en 1862, est, d'après Miguel de Unamuno le plus grand roman d'amour de la Péninsule Ibérique. Écrit en 1840, lorsque Camilo était en prison pour ses amours avec une femme mariée, il relate la passion clandestine de deux jeunes gens, Simão et Teresa, passion à laquelle s'ajoute l'amour de Mariana, une fille du peuple qui s'éprend de Simão, tout en continuant à lui servir de messagère auprès de Teresa.

Cherchant les sources nationales, Castelo Branco, expliquera qu'il a « déserté les drapeaux des maîtres français » pour retourner à la description des usages et coutumes portugais. Il manifeste tôt son souci de se placer au-dessus des écoles littéraires, et il emprunte au classicisme, au romantisme, au naturalisme et même au réalisme dans ses dernières années. Son écriture se caractérise par une solide maîtrise des ressorts dramatiques, par une fidélité au langage et aux coutumes populaires (que le critique Prado Coelho appelle « l'odeur du terroir »), et par ses analyses psychologiques et sentimentales élaborées. Au fil de ses romans, il donne l'équivalent portugais de La Comédie humaine, avec une œuvre romanesque monumentale cohérente qui explore de façon systématique les groupes sociaux et les rouages de la société portugaise, et il brosse une vaste fresque de son époque susceptible de servir de référence aux générations futures.

Il a été le premier écrivain lusophone à vivre de sa plume. Bien que ceci l'ait soumis aux diktats de la mode en cours parmi le le public, il est parvenu à conserver une écriture très originale. Outre son immense œuvre, il a également collaboré à de nombreux périodiques tels que O Panorama, Revista Universal Lisbonense, A illustração luso-brasileira (1856-1859), Revista Contemporânea de Portugal et Brasil (1859-1865), Archivo pictoresco (1857-1868), A Esperança (1865-1866), Gazeta Literária do Porto (1868) (aussi appelée Gazeta de Camilo Castelo Branco en raison de sa longue collaboration en tant qu'écrivain), la revue littéraire República das Letras (1875), Ribaltas e Gambiarras (1881), A illustação portugueza (1884-1890), ÉLisboa creche : jornal miniatura (1884) et, à titre posthume, dans les périodiques A Semana de Lisboa (1893-1895), Serões (1901-1911), Azulejos (1907-1909) et Feira da Ladra (1929-1943).

Il a également traduit Chateaubriand.

Q: How to organize a chain of functions that share parameters, functional programming When trying to follow a functional programming paradigm, I often find myself in a situation where I have a chain of functions that I would want to combine/compose somehow, but they all also take in a similar set of parameters. I've been trying to research best practices surrounding this kind of set up, because it's not immediately obvious how to combine them, and I don't want to end up with some esoteric solution. I'm also open to the possibility that there may be ways to avoid this sort of problem entirely.
To be more concrete, I noticed the trend working on two unrelated projects: interacting with a peculiar API and an agent based simulation.

*

*For the API, I needed to make multiple calls to get the information I needed. Each call needing some information from the last, and each call needed the same general information (like the url, various object ids, and some option parameters).

*For the agent based simulation, in each iteration I needed to make a series of updates to the population of agents as they interacted and evolved through various stages. Each stage needed the state of the previous stage's update, and each stage needed the same general information (like parameters dictating how the agents interact and change, and how to create new agents, etc)

These aren't the only two examples, just the most recent, and usually in the past I end up giving up and going back to OOP. It sort of makes sense, because if I have a chain of functions all with the same first parameter, that's sort of like how all object methods in Python take self as the first argument. But I'm sure the functional paradigm has another way of tackling this.
Hopefully that makes the problem clear. In sum, what are standard ways to handle these "ambient" parameters in a functional context?

Some paths I've tried that may further clarify the issue
One potential solution I thought about was a sort of composition "lift". For example, if I have two function f :: X -> (A -> B) and g :: X -> (B -> C), I could compose them into a function  of type X -> (A -> C) with an implementation like lift_compose f g x = (f x) . (g x). However, I don't have the aesthetic knowledge to know if this is considered "clean", or the vocabulary to know if this is already called something standard.
It also becomes a problem for longer chains of functions functions, like if h :: X -> (C -> D) actually also needs a little information from what type A was in f. In that case the composition isn't as straightforward. Something I tried was having a series of data types that inherited fields from each other, and each function essentially added a field to the data and passed it on. For example:
type A:
    ambient_info : str
    more_info : str

type B (inherits from A)
   new_info : str

type C (inherits from B)
   newer_info : str

Then I could make the functions just f :: A -> B and g :: B -> C and so on for however many steps, and compose normally, keeping all the information throughout. However, this started to feel strange and non standard. Again, this is pretty hard to search because I just don't have the right words. Thanks for any help.

Also, I wrote these examples in a weird pseudo Haskell, but I'm looking for something as language agnostic as practical, since I don't actually get to work in Haskell very much. Python is my main fluency, but I see this as generally affecting me whatever language I'm writing in.

A: One alternative is, in case these "ambient" parameters are some sort of context, is to use Monads.
It really depends on your use-case whether that makes sense or not, so let's use an example of Transaction. Instead of passing in some database connection to each function, you could instead return something that needs a database connection. For example:
f :: a -> Transaction b

If you're specifically need to modify some things in each function, a State monad may be the thing you're looking for. Same concept, function will return something that will still need an initial state to "really" run.
Whether that is language agnostic and compose? Well, Haskell has the do notation, Scala has for-comprehensions. If all else fails, you can just use flatMap directly. I've been doing the latter in Java. Works up to a point, but admittedly gets pretty unreadable real fast.

A: Objects can be used in a pure functional way. In a language like Scala with good object support, often the cleanest way is to just use an object.
You can also take advantage of scoping inside functions or let blocks. If you define a function within the scope of another function, you don't have to pass the outer function's parameters around.
A reader monad is useful to be able to inject a value after your steps are defined instead of passing it through the definition code. It doesn't really help simplify function signatures, though, because it basically moves the dependency from an input to an output of your function, but it does simplify the composition code.
State monads can be really nice for your agent simulation example. People new to FP sometimes try to overuse state monads, thinking of them of a way to simulate mutability, when they really should just be using a fold or something. However, for appropriate situations, state monads almost feel like magic, because they resemble imperative code but are fully referentially transparent.

As the Watergate scandal of 1973-1974 diverted attention from the far greater tragedy unfolding in Southeast Asia, so, too, the scandal of predator-priests now afflicting the Catholic Church may be covering up a far greater calamity.
Thirty-seven years after the end of the only church council of the 20th century, the jury has come in with its verdict: Vatican II appears to have been an unrelieved disaster for Roman Catholicism.
Liars may figure, but figures do not lie. Kenneth C. Jones of St. Louis has pulled together a slim volume of statistics he has titled Index of Leading Catholic Indicators: The Church Since Vatican II.
His findings make prophets of Catholic traditionalists who warned that Vatican II would prove a blunder of historic dimensions, and those same findings expose as foolish and naive those who believed a council could reconcile Catholicism and modernity. When Pope John XXIII threw open the windows of the church, all the poisonous vapors of modernity entered, along with the Devil himself.
Here are Jones' grim statistics of Catholicism's decline:
* Priests. While the number of priests in the United States more than doubled to 58,000, between 1930 and 1965, since then that number has fallen to 45,000. By 2020, there will be only 31,000 priests left, and more than half of these priests will be over 70.
* Ordinations. In 1965, 1,575 new priests were ordained in the United States. In 2002, the number was 450. In 1965, only 1 percent of U.S. parishes were without a priest. Today, there are 3,000 priestless parishes, 15 percent of all U.S. parishes.
* Seminarians. Between 1965 and 2002, the number of seminarians dropped from 49,000 to 4,700, a decline of over 90 percent. Two-thirds of the 600 seminaries that were operating in 1965 have now closed.
* Sisters. In 1965, there were 180,000 Catholic nuns. By 2002, that had fallen to 75,000 and the average age of a Catholic nun is today 68. In 1965, there were 104,000 teaching nuns. Today, there are 8,200, a decline of 94 percent since the end of Vatican II.
* Religious Orders. For religious orders in America, the end is in sight. In 1965, 3,559 young men were studying to become Jesuit priests. In 2000, the figure was 389. With the Christian Brothers, the situation is even more dire. Their number has shrunk by two-thirds, with the number of seminarians falling 99 percent. In 1965, there were 912 seminarians in the Christian Brothers. In 2000, there were only seven. The number of young men studying to become Franciscan and Redemptorist priests fell from 3,379 in 1965 to 84 in 2000.
* Catholic schools. Almost half of all Catholic high schools in the United States have closed since 1965. The student population has fallen from 700,000 to 386,000. Parochial schools suffered an even greater decline. Some 4,000 have disappeared, and the number of pupils attending has fallen below 2 million – from 4.5 million.
Though the number of U.S. Catholics has risen by 20 million since 1965, Jones' statistics show that the power of Catholic belief and devotion to the Faith are not nearly what they were.
* Catholic Marriage. Catholic marriages have fallen in number by one-third since 1965, while the annual number of annulments has soared from 338 in 1968 to 50,000 in 2002.
* Attendance at Mass. A 1958 Gallup Poll reported that three in four Catholics attended church on Sundays. A recent study by the University of Notre Dame found that only one in four now attend.
* Only 10 percent of lay religious teachers now accept church teaching on contraception. Fifty-three percent believe a Catholic can have an abortion and remain a good Catholic. Sixty-five percent believe that Catholics may divorce and remarry. Seventy-seven percent believe one can be a good Catholic without going to mass on Sundays. By one New York Times poll, 70 percent of all Catholics in the age group 18 to 44 believe the Eucharist is merely a "symbolic reminder" of Jesus.
At the opening of Vatican II, reformers were all the rage. They were going to lead us out of our Catholic ghettos by altering the liturgy, rewriting the Bible and missals, abandoning the old traditions, making us more ecumenical, and engaging the world. And their legacy?
Four decades of devastation wrought upon the church, and the final disgrace of a hierarchy that lacked the moral courage of the Boy Scouts to keep the perverts out of the seminaries, and throw them out of the rectories and schools of Holy Mother Church.
Through the papacy of Pius XII, the church resisted the clamor to accommodate itself to the world and remained a moral beacon to mankind. Since Vatican II, the church has sought to meet the world halfway.
Jones' statistics tell us the price of appeasement.
