Q: Syntax Error in dialog resource I have a Win32 GUI application and in my resource.rc file I'm trying to create a dialog, but I get a syntax error in my code.
IDD_ABOUT DIALOG 0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_CAPTION | WS_POPUP | WS_SYSMENU // error here
CAPTION "About"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
   DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK", IDOK, 174, 27, 50, 14
   GROUPBOX "Blahblah...", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 225, 52
   CTEXT "Name: Blahblah\r\nVersion: blahblahblah\r\nAuthor: blahblahblah\r\nDescription: blahblahblah", IDC_STATIC, 15, 18, 144, 33
END

(Of course, it doesn't really say blahblahblah.)
I Google'd around and found some similar questions, but they were all to do with the groupbox line and IDC_STATIC not being declared.  IDC_STATIC isn't declared in mine either and if I hover over it, the 'tooltip' it gives is all the lines of my menu resource.  But I don't think this has anything to do with it, because its a different line that's causing the problem.
What am I doing wrong?
(In case its needed, I'm using CodeBlocks with MinGW on Windows 7)

A: Please forgive me if this is an irrelevant pointing out.
I think STYLE's argument values like window style(WS_...) and dialog box
style(DS_...) are defined in a system header file.
So, probably <windows.h> or similar header file has to be #includeed
before the use of those values.
Hope this helps.

A: In case anyone else runs into this scenario, @Ise Wisteria's answer is great.  However, after that fix, I got the same error again, which turned out to be a little misleading.
My problem was in resource definition - turns out I was missing IDC_STATIC which threw the same syntax error for a different reason.
(Also using C::B MinGW Win7)

The Mayor of Cookie Town
Ray Bledsoe doesn't believe in day-old cookies. They have to be fresh to be good in his estimation, which is why he mixes his dry ingredients the night before and puts them into zipped plastic bags, three batches at a time. In the morning all he has to do is add the eggs and liquid or oil and whatever other ingredients are called for, and he is in business.

Philips unveils new 4K UHD Android TV lines at IFA 2015
JC Torres - Sep 4, 2015, 3:00 am CDT
Along with the jump to 4K UHD resolutions, TV makers are also jumping on the "smart" bandwagon by putting out a selection of smart TVs. While some are still waiting for Apple's play with the upcoming Apple TV, others are already rallying behind Google's representative, the aptly named Android TV. One of those manufacturers is Philips, and at IFA 2015 this week, it has revealed three new smart TV lines, all bearing 4K UHD resolutions and Android TV, and each with a special feature of its own.
The Philips 8601 series is the thinnest of the three. But despite that thinness, Philips managed to stash in an 18-speaker system made of 16 micro-drivers and two built-in Neodymium subwooofers, all delivering 50W of output. The micro-drivers are hidden inside two 17 mm dark chrome speakers on the left and right side of TV but can be detached for a wireless sound setup. The 8601 also sports Philips proprietary 4-sided Ambilight technology. This unusual feature creates the illusion of a much larger screen space by creating a halo of light that closely matches the colors being displayed on the screen at the moment. The Philips 8601 is powered by an unnamed hexacore processor to drive the Android TV platform. And to help navigate and control that interface, this smart TV comes with a special remote control that features a QWERTY keyboard, swipe pad, and microphone for voice input.
The Philips 9600 series might not be as thin but it makes up for that in display prowess. In particular, this smart TV comes with support for HDR or High Dynamic Range. This allows for a greater range of brightness than normally offered. Teamed up with Philips' Bright Premium and Dimming Premium technologies, the 9600 achieves greater contrast, producing darker blacks, brighter whites, and more vibrant colors. Like the 8601 series, the Philips 9600 also sports the same 4-sided Ambilight feature as well as Android TV and the special remote control that comes along with it.
While the two TVs above flaunt Philips' normal Ambilight technology, the new Ambilux UHD TV takes it to the new level with the new Ambilight Projection feature. Instead of a row of LEDs mimicking colors, the Ambilux has nine pico-projectors situated behind the TV. Instead of just colors, these projectors actually project the onscreen image or motion to the wall behind it, making it seem as if your TV extends to your wall. It doesn't hurt that the TV itself is razor thin, reinforcing that illusion. The Ambilux isn't just for show either. With a quad-core processor powering Android TV, this unique Philips display can project not just videos but images, apps, games, and even music as well. And yes, it comes with that QWERTY-enabled remote control as well.
The Philips 8601 comes in 55 and 65 inch variants while the Philips 9600 only has a 65-inch model. Similarly, the Phiips Ambilux UHD TV only comes in 65 inches. All three series will go on sale in Europe and Russia some time in the fourth quarter. Prices have not been disclosed.

BANKSY Celebrates NHS Heroes With New Surprise Canvas In Southampton Hospital
By Rachael Grealish
Banksy seems to be in lockdown like the rest of us and may not be making his rare public appearances but he has released a tribute to NHS and front line care workers.
. . Game Changer
A post shared by Banksy (@banksy) on May 6, 2020 at 9:50am PDT
On the infamous artist's social media pages, yesterday, of a child choosing to cast aside Batman and Spiderman in a waste basket on the floor in favour of playing with a superhero nurse doll wearing a cape, face mask and a white apron featuring a red cross and has her arm raised as if she is flying.
The new piece, simply called 'Game Changer', is now on view to staff and patients on Level C of Southampton General Hospital.
Ever the modest artist, Banksy left a note for the hospital staff saying: "Thanks for all you're doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if its only black and white."
The one-metre high by one-metre wide piece is said to be going on display to the public, at the hospital, after lockdown is lifted then it will be auctioned to raise money for the NHS – a spokeswoman confirmed to ITV.
Paula Head, chief executive of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Here at Southampton, our hospital family has been directly impacted with the tragic loss of much loved and respected members of staff and friends.
So proud to reveal this amazing piece of art Painting for Saints, created by #Banksy as a thank you to all those who work with and for the NHS and our hospital. Temporarily on display @UHSFT. An inspirational backdrop to pause and reflect in these unprecedented times. pic.twitter.com/3QIgMyrlcA
— Paula Head (@paulahead_UHS) May 6, 2020
"The fact that Banksy has chosen us to recognise the outstanding contribution everyone in and with the NHS is making, in unprecedented times, is a huge honour.
"It will be really valued by everyone in the hospital as people get a moment in their busy lives to pause, reflect and appreciate this piece of art.
"It will no doubt also be a massive boost to morale for everyone who works and is cared for at our hospital."

hypotonia, or 'floppiness,' in infants"
The story of toxic Teflon is a horrifying illustration of our broken regulatory system, and proof that consumers cannot rely on the reasonable assumption that if something were truly dangerous, companies wouldn't be allowed to sell it.
In the face of this kind of information, it is easy to feel outraged but also helpless. However, I take the same stance with PFOA that I do with all other toxic chemicals I learn about. While I cannot eliminate my family's exposure, I can refuse to support these companies financially and minimize my family's exposure to PFOA (as well as the novel "fluorochemicals" that have replaced PFOAs in consumer products) whenever possible. Here are some ways to do that.
Ditch the nonstick bakeware. I did this years ago and personally found the switch remarkably easy. I simply swapped out my nonstick bakeware for stainless steel or glass bakeware. I lightly grease or use a Silpat when necessary. Seasoned cast iron or stoneware are also safer choices for baking.
Avoid electric kitchen appliances with nonstick coatings, such as rice cookers, pressure cookers, and waffle irons. We love, love, love our Instant Pot , which has an uncoated stainless steel (dishwasher-safe!) insert. The Instant Pot can be used as a rice cooker, pressure cooker, or slow cooker. We also have a waffle iron with a ceramic-based coating.
Ditch the nonstick pots and pans. This was a bit more challenging. But I did find that many foods can be cooked up just fine in stainless steel. For eggy dishes, tofu, and other very sticky foods, we use preseasoned cast iron or enameled cast iron.
If you must use a nonstick pan, opt for a nonstick skillet with a ceramic-based coating that is free of PFOA and other PFCs such as PTFE. We have a Cuisinart GreenGourmet skillet, (recommended as a safe option in Safe Mama's Green Guide) which we sometimes use for eggs.
If you choose to use Teflon cookware, do not heat it above 450ºF. Do not heat empty pans, nor leave cookware unattended, nor use it in hot ovens or on grills. Also, discard any non-stick products if the coatings show signs of deterioration (scratches and flaking, for example).
Don't eat microwave popcorn, which comes in bags lined with PFOA. Make your own popcorn on the stove top or with an air popper , or even in the microwave with a plain paper bag.
Avoid fast food, Chinese and pizza take-out containers. To-go containers for greasy foods are usually coated with the nonstick chemicals PFOA.
Use non-toxic personal care products free of Teflon (such as Glide floss by Oral-B), "PTFE" or "perfluoro" or "fluoro" ingredients. PFOA and other PFCs can be found in dental floss as well as nail polish, facial moisturizers, and eye make-up.
Be wary of all fabrics advertised as stain-resistant/ stain-repellent or water-resistant/ water-repellent, as they are often manufactured with PFOA or other harmful PFCs. Choose clothing, outerwear, shoes, luggage, sporting equipment and outdoor gear without Teflon, Scotchgard, Stainmaster, Polartec or Gore-Tex tags. I have found it especially challenging to find school uniforms without treatments, and often resort to buying clothes not labeled as uniform clothing, but which are the correct color and style. I have found that 100% cotton fabrics (as opposed to synthetic fabrics or blends) are less likely to be treated. We also like to purchase children's clothing (especially underclothes) from Hanna Andersson when our budget allows, since the majority of their products are certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Avoid stain-repellent treatments on carpets and furniture. Purchase untreated products and refuse optional treatments. According to The Intercept, a 2009 EPA analysis of consumer products found that stain-resistant coatings for carpets and upholstery were greater sources of PFOA to consumers than Teflon-coated pans.
I recommend subscribing to updates from nonprofits such as Safer Chemicals Healthy Families (specifically focused on toxic chemical reform) or Environmental Working Group (non-profit watch dog on health and environmental issues) among others. When they ask you to sign a petition, sign it and share it.
What steps have you taken to minimize your family's exposure to toxic Teflon?
One more tip I want to throw out there; don't use metal utensils for pots or pans treated with Teflon.
No microwave popcorn here in YEARS. Of course we also got rid of the microwave.
There was a talk about using Teflon inside a ketchup bottle so every drop can slide out. Do you know if that's been done?
On a related note, don't use a rice cooker or pressure that has a inside pot lined Teflon. I recently switched to Instant Pot that has a Stainless Steel pot and I absolutely can't say enough about it. I wrote a post on why I switched and about how to reduce arsenic in rice and ironically, using a pressure cooker actually helps reduce arsenice level but it's important to use a stainless less and not non-stick inside pot.
Not surprisingly, little mention of what this new technology is made of. Let's hope there is some disclosure and testing before it becomes a packaging material for food, but I won't be holding my breath on that.
Good point that it's in more than just cookware. I think we have a couple Gore-Tex rain coats around.
I ditched teflon years ago. I prefer cooking in stainless anyway. It's what I grew up with. I'm going to get an Instant Pot!
Thanks for the great info Betsy. I threw out my Teflon years ago and haven't looked back. I use mainly stainless steel and cast iron. Both can be non-stick if used correctly. I've used stainless steel rice cookers and now I've switched to ceramic.
Very in-depth, and I'm happy to say I do all of these!
I discarded teflon years back. I favor cooking in stainless at any rate. It's what I grew up with. Will get an Instant Pot!


Itella Logistics and R-Kiosk have made on agreement to enlarge their co-operation in Estonia to 50 centrally located R-Kiosk's indoor outlets in all biggest cities. R-Kiosks indoor outlets are used for Itella Parcels drop-off points. Itella and R-Kiosk started their co-operation in Tallinn area in March 2008. Positive results achieved encouraged parties to increase the co-operation nationwide.
- R-Kiosk can provide centrally located kiosks, with long opening hours seven days a week and personal customer service, so it is easy and convenient for consumers to pick up their parcels, says Jüri Võssokov, Managing Director, R-Kiosk Eesti AS.
For Itella as service logistics provider it is important to provide coverage network and alternatives for consumers. Last week Itella also signed an agreement with SmartPost to use their automated parcel terminal network of 20 machines in Estonia as drop-off points.
- We believe that we can together with our partners improve the service for Estonian consumers. Itellas network with R-Kiosks and SmartPost automates is really covering all Estonia nationwide. This will also make internet and mail order business more attractive alternative for Estonian consumers, says Risto Merisalu, Country Manager, Itella Logistics Ou, Estonia.

As a child, I was traumatized by Jim Carey in The Mask. I've never watched the entire movie.
As far back as I can remember, my first time with videogames was Doom, on a good old floppy disk. My dad and uncle would get together in a friend's basement to play the night away. Cool, calm and collected behind the couch, I watched over their shoulders as they played. I was young, not afraid, and just simply fascinated.
My love for gaming, in large part, would follow suit on a console. I grew up with an NES in the basement. Blowing into cartridges, looking for magical ways and invocations to make them work. Patience's be tested. A sad true story (which I only realized years after the fact), I never owned a SNES. A shame because I consider the SNES one of the best consoles to this day. I own 3 just to prove a point. I made the jump from the NES to the N64 and what a change that was! The games were large in scope, in 3D and the controllers had joysticks on them. So many new things to experience all at once! Games with mystery and adventure have always been my favorite. I'm a huge Zelda fan, like a lot of those in my generation, Ocarina of Time made a huge impact. It was nothing like The Legend of Zelda.
Around the same time, I discovered my first FPS games on my dad's PC. Quake Arena and Unreal Tournament! But that was it for the PC experience. I spent the rest of my time on consoles.
My love for FPS came back a few years later, around the end of my teenage years with Battlefield 2. I spent a lot (like a lot) of the time playing with my then boyfriend. It was a massacre on the battlefield!
In recent years I played mostly Indie PC games (Binding of Isaac, Shovel Knight) and Sandbox games (Fallout, Skyrim). Whatever didn't require actual aiming. Then, less than a year ago, I stumbled on Overwatch. Strategy, Team based AND an FPS? I fell right back in love. So here I am. Motivated to advocate for competitive gaming within female gamers and surround myself with other girlz who are just passionate as I am!


Dermira and UCB Agree to End Collaboration Agreement for CIMZIA | Dermira, Inc.
MENLO PARK, Calif. and BRUSSELS, Belgium, Nov. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dermira, Inc. (NASDAQ:DERM) and UCB (Euronext:UCB) today announced the companies have agreed to end their development and commercialization agreement for CIMZIA (certolizumab pegol) in psoriasis. Following positive Phase 3 clinical trial results, UCB and Dermira announced U.S. and EU regulatory submissions for CIMZIA for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis in July of this year. Pending regulatory approval, UCB remains committed to commercializing CIMZIA in psoriasis worldwide.
Dermira expressed its intent to terminate the collaboration agreement, and Dermira and UCB have entered into a transition agreement to effect an orderly transition of the development and commercialization activities, pursuant to which UCB will regain U.S. and Canadian development and commercialization rights for CIMZIA for the treatment of psoriasis. Both parties will undertake a transfer of data and Dermira will not participate in any future development or commercialization activities for the product. The collaboration agreement will terminate on February 15, 2018 and the companies anticipate the completion of the transition by such date.
Pursuant to the collaboration agreement, there are no termination or penalty payments required by either party. In consideration for the repurchase of all product rights, licenses and intellectual property relating to CIMZIA, UCB will pay to Dermira$11.0 million by November 13, 2017 and, upon approval of CIMZIA in psoriasis in the United States, an additional $39.0 million within 30 days of such approval. Dermira is obligated to reimburse UCB for up to $10.0 million of development costs incurred by UCB in connection with the development of CIMZIA between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. If the aggregate development costs reimbursed by Dermira to UCB during this six-month period are less than $10.0 million, Dermira will pay to UCB the difference between such aggregate costs and $10.0 million.
In addition, Mr. Caeymaex, a Dermira director, has resigned from his position as a member of the board and, pursuant to the transition agreement, UCB will no longer have a right to designate a director nominee to Dermira's board of directors.

The wait is over!
The perennial lovebirds Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal have announced their marriage.
The couple, who were supposed to tie the knot in 2021, are now getting married this year.
If you recall, the Covid-19 pandemic had caused a delay in their wedding.
When enquired about her wedding plans, Richa Chadha said, "I think shaadi ho jaegi iss saal. Kar lenge kisi tarah se (We will get married this year, will marry somehow)."
"We're very excited to get married but (we are) just worried about Covid and want to be responsible."
Richa and Ali have been dating since 2015.
They made their relationship official when they attended the premiere of 'Victoria and Abdul' in Venice in 2017.
They first met on the set of their film 'Fukrey' and fell in love.
Reportedly after dating for years, Fazal proposed to his lady love on the picturesque Maldives island.
Fazal has started shooting for the third season of 'Mirzapur' and was last seen in Gal Gadot's film 'Death on the Nile'.
Meanwhile, Richa has 'Fukrey 3', Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi ', 'Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai' in her kitty.
The wedding festivities will take place in Mumbai and Delhi with close friends and family in attendance.
They will get married in last week of September in Delhi since most of their family resides there.
There will be a sangeet and mehendi ceremony leading up to the wedding.
Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha will also host a grand reception in Mumbai.
Congratulations to the lovely couple.

Por Several Hands
this truly spirited, honest, and rational vritet, in proof of his opinion; but the proposition is so self-evident, that to mention them were fuperfluous. We cannot, however, take leave of him, without tranflating the last section of his book. It is as follows.
• I imagine to myself, that I see the beloved disciple of Jesus rise from the dead, and on our usual day of swearing enter the fenate-house. He views the venerable fathers of their country, whose grave and folemn aspects befpeak them engaged in business of great importance. This makes him attentive. He liftens to the reading of a great number of obligations, laws, ordinances, commandments, statutes, and regulations of government, all falutary, and calculated to promote the happiness of the community; insomuch, that each individual, not only in conscience, but for his own sake, should rejoice in the observance. He becomes greatly delighted, and exclaims in congratulation, how they love each other !' But his joy is loon interrupted with a murmur of curses, when swearing, they all wish, that in case of disobedience, the hand which they hold up, may be consumed by fire from heaven, their tongue rot in their mouth, their eyes see no more light, their ears hear no more sounds, that thunder may shatter their teeth, their lungs be stifled, and that torture may tear their limbs, and burst their bowels. Here the holy disciple quakes and trembles. He remembers the hardned Jews, calling down a curse upon themfelves : his blood be upon us and on our children! Which curse hath been so juftly accomplished, that they have severely felt its weight for near two thousand years. Tears fall from his eyes; his heart bleeds', &c.
Thus have we endeavoured to give our readers some idea of this remarkable book; remarkable, as well on account of the freedom, strength, and truth, of its sentiments, as for the persecution it has brought upon its worthy author.
When we consider the merit of this performance, the piety and irreproachable character of the writer, and that it was published among a people who pride themselves in their liberty, and pretend to abhor the persecuting spirit of the church of Rome, we are astonished at the consequences of its pubo lication ! But when, on the other hand, we consider, their vernors as capable of exacting such horrid curses from their poor Tubjects; and when we remember them as the perfecutors of the honest Rousseau, our astonishment ceases, and we have nothing left, but to invite the excellent author to take refuge in à country where he will probably meet with more justice and humanity

Hitoire de la Vie de Henry IV. Roi de France et de Navarre, &c.
That is, the History of the Life of Henry IV. King of France
and Navarre. By M. De Bury. 12mo. 4 vol. Paris, 1766.
HERE is scarce any species of writing, that is more
instructive to the philosopher, or agreeable to such as read only for their amusement, than the lives of those who have made a distinguished figure in the highest stations of life. General history often throws a false light on the characters of such persons; the splendor, which surrounds them dazzles the eye, and prevents our having a elear and distinct view of them: but when they lay aside the badges of their dignity, and descend, from the height of their exalted stations, to the common level, of humanity; when we are allowed to take view of them as fathers, husbands, masters, friends, and companions ; when we are admitted to their tables, and their diversions, and mix with them in the humble amusements, and agreeable relaxations of domestic life, we can then form a just idea of their characters; and whilft our self-love is agreeably flattered in being admitted to a familiar intercourse with such illustrious personages, we clearly perceive that men are the same in every rank and station of life.
The work now before us, therefore, must be acceptable to readers of every class; and indeed deservedly. Besides an account of the great actions which Henry the fourth performed in the eyes of all Europe, it contains many agreeable and interesting particulars, not generally known, which throw light upon the character of that great prince. It will be readily ima. gined that the Author has made great use of Sully's Memoirs; as Sully, however, confined himself principally to these things in which he himself was concerned as a minifter, the Reader will find in this history a great many facts omitted by the Duke, and collected, with great care, from a variety of Authors, by M. De Bury: whose principal design is to display the real character and private life of his hero. The discerning Reader will probably think that he treats the blemishes and imperfections of Henry's character with too much tenderness; his work, however, notwithstanding this, has no inconfiderable degree of merit. His stile is clear, easy, and natural ; his reflections few, but judicious, and such as naturally arise from the facts which he relates.
He concludes his history with a comparison between Henry and Philip of Macedon. As this part of his work contains the principal features in the portraits of these two great princes, we shall present our Readers with some extracts from it.
In the twenty-fixth book of Sully's Memoirs we are tol}, that Henry, being one day at dinner with the Duke, and the conversation happening to turn upon thote great men whore APP, vol. xxxiv.
actions are celebrated in history, asked Sully which of them all he most wished him to resemble?-If Sully had been well acquainted with the history of Greece, our Author tells us, he would have found, among the heroes who are celebrated in it, a prince, whose virtues, àtchievements, good and bad fortune, &c. had so perfect a resemblance to those of Henry, that he might have drawn an exact parallel between them. This prince was Philip, whose conformity of character with that of Henry, he now endeavours to fhew.
When Amyntas, King of Macedon, died, he left three sons, Alexander, Perdiccas, and Philip. According to the order of nature, the youngest of the three could never expect to mount the throne; this circumstance, however, was the cause of his grandeur. ' Being sent to Thebes as an hostage, for reasons of state, he was committed to the care of Epaminondas, the greatest captain and the wisest man of Greece ; who took care to give him the best education in every respect that a prince could receive, and by which Philip knew admirably well how to profit.
When Henry came into the world, he was still at a greater distance from ihe crown which providence designed for him, than Philip was from that of Macedonia. Four Princes, who might have a numerous progeny, seemed to exclude him from all possibility of ever reaching the throne. He reached it, however, with this difference, that his poffeffion of it was lawful, whereas that of Philip appeared to be an usurpation ; for after the death of his two elder brothers, he took possession of the crown, hy excluding young Amyntas his nephew, whose guardian he was; unless we say, that
the uncle might lawfully exclude the nephew, as there were precedents for it in the history of Macedonia.
These two princes, born with the finest capacities that na. ture can bestow, derived great advantages from their education, which enabled them to make those solid reflections, which adversity always suggests to brave and generous minds.
The education of Henry was not so brilliant as that of Philip, who was instructed in all the sciences known to the Greeks, the most ingenious and polite people in the world. Accordingly he surpassed all the princes who went before him in eloquence, philosophy, the knowledge of war and politics. Henry was educated by his mother the Queen of Navarre, and by Flor. Chretien, a man pretty well acquainted with history and polite literature, but who had not acquired that extenfire knowledge which those who were at the head of the Greek re. public were poffelled of, and with whom Philip had particular connections in his youth,
It is with reason the Greeks boast of the eloquence of Philip; but it was not that kind of eloquence which imposes upon republicans, who are fond of ingenious and sprighdy turns, and who suffer themselves, to be seduced by the charms of a beautiful elocution. It was a species of eloquence which he had formed himself, nervous; fimple, manly, full of reason and good sense, the only eloquence fit for kings,
turns,
Henry the Fourth had not perhaps carefully studied the works of Demosthenes, and Cicero ; indeed he had not time for this : he had however a true, simple, and persuasive eloquence, as appears by his letters and those speeches of his which are still extant. Both Philip and he excelled in quick and sprightly repartees. Several of their apothegms and bons mats are still preserved, full of good sense and pleasantry. Those of Henry I have related occasionally; Philip's may be seen in the life I have given of him.
Henry and Philip were instructed in the military art by the example and counsels of the two greatest captains of their times, Epaminondas and Coligny, under whom they learned to obey before they commanded.' Both these princes profited so much by the instructions of their masters, that they were without dispute the greatest captains of the age they lived in, and surpassed all those who went before them.
i When Philip mounted the throne of Macedon, he found his kingdom almost intirely invaded by his neighbours who were laying it waste, and his Grandees acting in concert with them, that each might secure to himself a Thare of the provinces. We have seen in the life of Henry, what the condition of France was when he came to the crown. · The greatest part of his nobles deserted him, invited foreigners to allilt and support them, and seized the revenues of the state. But both these princes, superiour to adversity, and founding their hopes and their glory upon their courage, boldly attacked their enemies, beat them in several engagements, and forced them to return to their allegiance. The victories of Argues and Ivry confounded the league, as that which Philip gained over Bardillus, King of the Illyrians, made him master of Macedon, and that at Cherona, of all Greece.
One of the noblest qualities these princes were possessed of, was their attention to make their subjects happy and their dominions flourish. If their designs were not always crowned with success, 'it was because they were not always masters of those circumstances which do not depend upon the power or foresight of man; but they never loft light of these glorious objects. Philip had no sooner driven his foreign enemies from his dominions, and established the tranquillity of his people, than he made himself niaster of Amphipolis, a city which belonged to his predecessors, and which had an excellent harbour. He ordered Aeets to be equipped, with which he attacked the Athe. nians, who had made themselves lords at sea, and obliged them to give his subjects a Häre in their commerce. 002
and /
No body knew. better than he how to avail himself of the advantages he gained over his enemies. Being defirous to'pu. nish the Thracians for the ravages they committed upon his territories, he entered their country, and took poffefsion of that pårt of their dominions which was most convenient for him. As he knew they had golden mincs, which they neglected, he sent a colony of Macedonians to the city of Crenides, opened the mines, and drew a considerable sum of money from them every year. If Henry had no gold nor silver mires in his dominions, he had others in the produce of France and the industry of its inhabitants, who only wanted to be encouraged to have their commerce protected. Accordingly he took the most care to have the roads repaired, rivers rendered navigable, and manufactures established, and gave every encouragement to agriculfure. If he had it not in his power to intcreafe, so much as he could have wished, the maritime commerce of his subjects, which before his reign they were almost utter ftrangers to, he at least laid the foundations of it.
Both these princes shewed equal abilities in regard to their revenues. The finances were never in such good order, since the foundation of the French monarchy, as they were in the reign of Henry' the fourth. He was the first who knew the true sources of them, and made 'the noblest and best use of them. When Philip came to the třrone, his finances were in as great disorder as those of Henry, and, with equal ability be restored them without oppresling his subje&ts. As both these
princes, in the beginning of their reigns; were greatly diftrefied 2 for want of money, they knew the value of it; accordingly
they used it with tnat æconomy which is so neceffary in kings without avarice and without prodigality. They knew that true fenerosity confifts in rewarding those who have deserved well of the flate, ard in employing their treasures only upon what is useful and neceflary:
Henry and Philip were equal in point of courage, which they often, indeed, carried to temerity. They were not fertible that true valour has its boundaries ascertained by reason, which obliges a brave man to encounter, with intrepidity, ihose dangers that come in his way, without aspiring after the foolith ambition of going in quest of them.
This is the picture drawn of Philip by Demofthenes, his greatest enemy, whom a regard to truth otliged to do him the justice he deserved." He is, says he, an indefatigable warriour, aétive, present upon every occafion, fupporting the severeft fatit, des, regardless of feep, and the difference of feasons; an inui epid hero, who darts through every obstacle, and thruffs himself into the midst of dangers.--I faw the same Philip, (say's be on another occasion) after the loss of an eye, wounded in che leg, &c. tl.row himself into the midit of their combar, reading

Twitter – Let's do this!
In order to advance our collective mission to raise awareness and advocate for improvement in diagnosis and standards for surgical treatment we are asking you to consider joining Twitter to help us accomplish our goals together.
There are several issues that we would like to shed light on through this social media platform. Below are just a few examples of the issues we would like to raise awareness about by tweeting. We believe that our efforts would be far more effective with your help.
1) We all know that one reason parathyroid disease goes undiagnosed for far too many years is because the lab values for calcium can vary dramatically from lab to lab. Many do not take into consideration the age of the person and set their values to reflect an average, thus often putting those over 30 who suffer from primary hyperparathyroid disease with calcium values of 10.4 in the "normal" range. We would like to identify and tag laboratories in tweets to raise awareness and advocate for change.
2) Patient experience tells us that the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons guidelines for primary hyperparathyroid disease need to be improved to better serve us. Let's be positioned to take action.
3) As we understand the Australia Healthcare System may be making some unfortunate decisions for those suffering from pHPT. On another front, the UK has their own unique issues to address in order to improve diagnosis and standards. Wouldn't it be wise for all of us to be positioned to help our friends across the world who are fighting similar issues?
4) Along more general lines, we can and will create awareness of the difficulties pHPT patients face and the needless suffering and deterioration of health that occurs as a result of medical professionals being uninformed (again tagging and tweeting to key individuals who may be in a position to move things forward).
Therefore, we encourage each and everyone of you to consider creating a Twitter account (if you don't already have one) so that together we can help inform and educate to effect change.
Once you create your account please follow us on Twitter at the handle @parathyroidpeep (no "s" on the end) That way you can easily check out our newest tweets on your homepage and just like Facebook, like and retweet them. It really is easy to catch on. Don't be afraid to try.
Also follow Hyperparathyroid UK Action4Change at the handle @spsallie.

Could early vitamin C deficiency impair development? Lykkesfeldt et al. (2009). American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 90, 540-546.
Research > Evidence database > Could early vitamin C deficiency impair development?
A new Danish animal study suggests that vitamin C deficiency in the first weeks and months of life may impair the development of neurones in the brain and decrease spatial memory. Guinea pigs subjected to moderate vitamin C deficiency were found to have 30 per cent fewer hippocampal neurons and poorer spatial memory, compared with guinea pigs given a normal diet. The Danish researchers used guinea pigs because, like humans, the animals cannot synthesise vitamin C, and can only obtain it via the diet.
"Although a direct extrapolation of this new phenomenon to humans is not currently possible, we found that the relatively high prevalence of vitamin C deficiency in humans, including infants and toddlers, warrants future clinical studies to clarify whether a similar link to brain development exists in humans, …….. We speculate that the lack of vitamin C supplementation in high-risk individuals, such as pregnant women and newborns with poor vitamin C status, could be detrimental to normal brain development and lead to neurologic disabilities later in life." wrote the researchers, led by Jens Lykkesfeldt, professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Copenhagen.


Thousands of cheering fans welcomed the Colombian to Madrid at his official unveiling at the Bernabeu, where Florentino Perez greeted his new galactico.
Perez said the late Madrid great and honorary president Alfredo Di Stefano had also come to the club from Colombia, where he had been playing before his arrival in Spain.
Rodriguez offered a simple statement to his new supporters, saying: "I hope to win many titles here, Hala Madrid."
He later told a news conference: "The numbers mean nothing to me. I just want to help make history and bring joy to the Madrid fans. This is a club which is used to winning and I'm prepared mentally and physically to do so. It is a pleasure to be among so many stars and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from everyone.
"I've always followed Real Madrid and always dreamed of playing here. I've suffered a lot to get here and when you do that then it tastes so much better. I will never forget this day. I hope to work hard, to train well, and to experience a lot of joy here. I know I am under a lot of pressure, but I am happy to face it."
James contributed nine goals and 12 assists last season to help Monaco qualify for the Champions League but it was at the World Cup that he really shone, scoring six goals in five games to win the Golden Boot.
He will wear the No. 10 shirt at Madrid, vacated when Mesut Ozil left Madrid for Arsenal.

Nilka fell in love with creating songs as a young girl fusing her thoughts to a string of notes with lyrics originating back to the age of 9. Five years later she taught herself how to play guitar, cementing her melody-lyric combination and her pensive songs became like entries in a journal. Songwriting was a way for Nilka to confront experiences in her life and music became her outlet. Throughout grade school, she participated in different bands and choirs where she became fascinated with the impression symphonic music could leave on an audience and inspired by a broad spectrum of genres from Motown to Folk music. During the summer of 2014, Nilka relocated to Nashville, Tennessee where she continues composing songs that narrate life encounters aspiring to connect with listeners through her music.
Recently Nilka released an EP which has been titled "Year of the Escape" and defined by Victoria Henderson, of Music Update Central and Nashville Unsigned, as "a self-meditating journey that makes you feel as if you're a part of something bigger than yourself." Nilka strives to captivate her listeners with a soul-moving experience and provide an escape from the mundane outlook on life, compelled to reveal a unique and authentic perspective of this world.
Hi Nilka, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?
Thank you! I've been great. Very busy writing and preparing for new releases.
Can you talk to us more about your latest single "Strike"?
Yes! Strike was co-written/produced with Mick Utley and is about reminding listeners how fierce and powerful they can be. Even when we think struggles in life are going to take us down, we are actually bigger than our struggles and when we snap back into that mindset we become unstoppable.
Did any event in particular inspired you to write this song?
Maybe not a single event in particular, but last summer I was beginning to feel a little burnt out and sometimes no matter how motivated we are to chase our dreams, it's easy to get caught in the web of fears and doubts. The idea for this song came to me when I felt like my Heart was trying to remind me that the highs and lows are normal and when times get low prepare for the sharp bounce back because it's always stronger than it was before.
Any plans to release a video for the single?
Yes, I will be releasing a lyric video on YouTube for this single created by WSKProductions.
How was the recording and writing process?
I met with my friend Mick Utley, a producer/writer in Nashville and brought him bits of Strike as an idea. He loved it and it all came together pretty quickly. Together we made the song what it is today!
What role does Nashville play in your music?
I love Nashville! The music community is like no other and I'm continuously meeting people that are very supportive and talented. The industry here has motivated and inspired me to write better and be the best that I can be. Nashville has been a strong influence in the way I write and the artist I've become.
Do you tend to take a different approach when you are collaborating with someone else rather than in your own?
I'm blown away by the talent in this town so any chance I get to collaborate I definitely take a step back from my usual approach of creating so the music gets to come alive in a different way than it would if I were creating on my own. I love collaborating because the creativity bounces off of one another sculpting into an art piece of perfection.
Does the new single mean we can expect a new material – how's that coming along?
There is no EP or LP in the works right now, but Strike is the first of a new wave of material I will be releasing soon. It's coming along better than I imagined which is always exciting!
Any tentative release date or title in mind?
I don't want to give away all my secrets but July and August are in for some heat! 😉
Any plans to hit the road?
No plans to hit the road this year as I'm focusing on releasing quality music and content but I'm crossing my fingers (and scheming) for next year.
What else is happening next in NILKA's world?
Well, Strike is actually the kickoff into what I like to call Nilka's Summer Heatwave! I will be releasing 2 more singles this summer and I have a couple more surprises up my sleeve. I am so eager about what's coming with this new music and I can't wait to share it with the world!

Herbert Isenberg (* 25. Juli 1930 im Sauerland; † 28. Februar 2021 in Brilon) war ein deutscher Kunstmaler und Grafiker. Sein Werk umfasst vorwiegend ländlich-bäuerliche Motive, in denen die Harmonie von Tier, Mensch und Landschaft besonders hervortritt.

Werdegang
Seit seiner frühesten Kindheit entwickelte Isenberg seine Begabung zum Zeichnen und Malen. Bereits als Kind trug er stets einen Skizzenblock bei sich, wenn er beispielsweise die Kühe seines Großvaters in seiner sauerländischen Heimat hütete. Er entwickelte seine zeichnerischen und malerischen Fähigkeiten an der Akademie der Studiengemeinschaft Darmstadt. Seine dortigen künstlerischen Arbeiten erfuhren große Wertschätzung und wurden von der Akademie unter anderem als didaktisches Material und als Titelseite auf der hauseigenen Zeitschrift verwendet. Für die Malerei wurde für Isenberg das Studium alter Meister wesentlich. Er rieb – ähnlich wie viele alte Meister – seine Farben selbst an und griff dabei auf Erkenntnisse von Max Doerner und Kurt Wehlte zurück.

Erste Erfolge erreichte er 1953 mit der zweimaligen Verleihung der Düsseldorfer Zeitungspreises. Ab 1967 zeigten Ausstellungen in der Palette Frankfurt das erwachende Interesse des Kunsthandels und des Publikums an seinem Werk. Zunächst war Isenberg nur in seiner Freizeit künstlerisch tätig. Ab 1970 machte er die Malerei zu seinem Beruf. Seither gilt er als erfolgreicher deutscher Maler, der in Stil und Thematik an die Kunst der alten Meister anknüpft. Vielfach stellt er idyllische Parklandschaften, die heile Welt und die Lustbarkeiten des vorrevolutionären Adels in einem Neorokoko-Stil dar. Der Bildaufbau seiner Gemälde ist häufig gekennzeichnet durch eine ausgeprägte Staffage. Menschen- und Tierfiguren beleben Landschaften oder Architekturbilder und verdeutlichen so Raumtiefe und Größenverhältnisse. Isenberg nutzte zeichnerische wie malerische Mittel im Sinne eines poetischen Realismus. Bekannt wurde unter anderem seine Bilderserie "Am malerischen Rhein", die von der Porzellanmanufaktur Fürstenberg 1988 und 1989 auf Kunstsammelteller gebrannt und herausgegeben wurde.

Power loom weaver during the Industrial Revolution in Glasgow, Scotland.
Janet was the eldest daughter in a family of four boys and three girls. Daughter of Robert Munro and Elizabeth Glasgow. Born in Glasgow, June 15, 1821,(1) her life, as those of her siblings would have been a difficult one.
Glasgow was an overcrowded city at the time Janet and her family lived there. The large influx of poor from the country caused overcrowding and disease due to inadequate water and sewage management. Desperate families searching for work in the new "industrialized cities" found less than they hoped for in most cases living hand to mouth.
The conditions in the factories were dismal and many of the workers would later suffer lung disease from breathing the toxic air. But it was work and brought food to the table that would otherwise lay bare.
Children worked from a young age and Janet and her sisters worked in the Glasgow cotton industry as power loom weavers.
Janet married Robert Stevenson June 6, 1841,(2) in Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland.
Janet died February 03 1876,(3) in her fifty-fifth year when her youngest was just twelve years old. Her husband followed two years later. The cause of death was documented as organic disease of the brain. There are so many possible causes to this disease that they are too long to list here. Many of them relate to possibilities related to Janet's difficult life. The fact that the death notice mentions the disease took only several days to take her suggests a possible stroke. However on the death registration from the Ontario Trust Cemeteries lists consumption as the cause of death.
Janet Munro was buried at the Toronto Necropolis Cemetery Section 1 Lot # 154.
I have gathered a fair amount of information on the Stevenson children and have decided to post them individually. Not yet online. I will notify when available.

Last year Cartier unveiled the Tank MC, a new version of its classic Tank wristwatch. Wider and heftier than earlier Tank models, the Tank MC was designed expressly for men. It joined the long line of Tank models which have helped give the Tank its extraordinary longevity. Now the Tank MC Chronograph joins the collection. Equipped with the in-house 1904-CH MC movement first used in the Calibre de Cartier Chronograph, the new Tank MC Chronograph becomes the new, entry-level chronograph with an in-house movement.
The case is the typical Tank form, with polished brancards on each side, and a brushed finish in between the lugs and also on the side of the case. A blue sapphire cabochon tops the crown.
Whereas most Tank watches in the past were formal or feminine, the Tank MC Chronograph measures 34.3 mm wide and 43.9 mm long, giving it a noticeable presence on the wrist. But it is only 11.7 mm, so its proportions remain elegant.
The dial is the classic Cartier style – guilloche with Roman numerals and blued steel hands – with sunken registers for the chronograph. Though the guilloche is likely stamped (instead of being engraved), the dial overall is attractive and well made.
A date window, practical but often badly placed on watch dials, sits at six o'clock which is acceptable though not beautiful. Above it, however, is the unnecessary text "automatic". Visible through the display back is the 1904-CH MC movement. Based on the workhorse 1904 MC calibre, the movement is made in-house by Cartier – the "MC" in Tank MC stands for "Manufacture Cartier". It has all the helpful features of a modern chronograph: a column wheel, vertical clutch and a one-piece reset hammer.
Additionally it features the simple but highly effective magic lever winding mechanism, originally invented by Seiko in the sixties and now a favourite of Carole Forestier. The 1904-CH MC has a 48 hour power reserve, adequate but less than usual amongst contemporary movements, where 60 to 70 hours is common.
The finish is par for the course in this price segment, meaning it is sufficiently decorated with Geneve stripes and so on, but not particularly striking. A less monochrome finish would make it more attractive. Though the movement has a C-shaped regulator index, the regulator is still the basic Etachron system, which is reliable and easy to use but unsophisticated and unattractive.
As is usually the case, the Tank MC Chronograph is available in rose gold and steel. The gold version with its silvered dial has the most traditional Cartier aesthetic. The steel version is available with a silver or grey dial. The grey is uncommon and typically found on white gold watches.
Price-wise the Tank MC Chronograph is accessible in steel, with an estimated retail of €6,950 (~US$9660) before taxes. The gold model will sell for €17,400 (US$24,200).

Japanese PS3s Bundled with Composite
Sony goes low-tech with the wiring.
By Anoop Gantayat
Updated: 16 Jun 2012 9:25 am

HDMI port, Blu-ray drive, Cell processor -- the PS3 will ship with everything needed for high definition playback... everything except for high definition cables to use them, that is.
The latest issue of Famitsu contains a first report on the cables that will be included with the Japanese version of the PS3. Purchasers of either the 60 Gig or 20 Gig models will get a power cord, USB cable, Ethernet cable, and standard composite AV cable.
That's right! No component, HDMI or DVI cables are included in the box! While Sony hasn't announced which wiring that will be bundled with the US version of the system, in Japan at least, those who want high-definition hook-ups will have to make a separate purchase.
On the plus side, the PS3's AV Multi Out interface accepts the same cables that you used with your PS2, so if you already have S-Video Component cables, you should be able to reuse them.

The 1904 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 8, 1904, as part of the 1904 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Nevada was won by the Republican ticket of incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt (NY) and Senator Charles W. Fairbanks (IN) by a margin of 23.79%, roughly mirroring the results of the national popular vote. After the state had voted overwhelmingly for James B. Weaver and William Jennings Bryan during the three previous elections, Roosevelt claimed the state for the Republican Party for the only time between 1888 and 1920.

Roosevelt won every county in the state, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to do so; this has since only been repeated by Richard Nixon in 1972, Ronald Reagan in 1984, and George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Following this election, Nevada would eventually become a bellwether that has reflected the result in 26 of the 29 presidential elections since (the exceptions were in 1908, 1976 and 2016).

Guidelines for Competency in the Application of Sensory Integration Theory
The following statement reflects the position of University of Southern California, Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and Western Psychological Services (USC/WPS) in partnership, regarding the guidelines for minimum qualifications needed for the use of the sensory integrative frame of reference in therapeutic practice. This statement is intended to promote uniformly high standards of practice in the delivery of services for clients with sensory integrative disorders in order to:
Inform consumers seeking such services.
Promote the understanding and appropriate application of sensory integrative theory.
Support best practice within the field of occupational therapy.
The sensory integration frame of reference is used primarily by occupational therapists in the area of pediatrics. Other professions have adapted this information for use with their clients; however, certification through USC/WPS is restricted to professionally qualified occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech and language pathologists. Paraprofessionals such as occupational therapy assistants or physical therapy assistants are not eligible for certification. While these individuals may apply sensory integration principles in their practice area, it is always done under the direct supervision of a professional in their discipline who specializes in sensory integration according to the guidelines established with their professional license/registration.
Competencies in the use of sensory integration theory and its application are developed primarily through postgraduate continuing education, mentoring, and clinical experience. In order to support these aims, USC and WPS in partnership offer the Comprehensive Program in Sensory Integration leading to certification in sensory integration including administering and interpreting the Sensory Integration and Practice Tests. Additionally, USC provides a 4-month clinical training program in sensory integration. Advanced training in sensory integration may also be provided through university curricula, clinical practica, and mentorship by occupational therapists certified and experienced in sensory integration theory and practice.
Certification in Sensory Integration is highly recommended when using sensory integration in occupational therapy. Upon completion of the Comprehensive Program in Sensory Integration and related requirements, USC/WPS awards a numbered certificate that indicates that the therapist has obtained Certification in Sensory Integration including the Administration and Interpretation of the SIPT. Certification is the minimum requirement for developing competencies in sensory integration.
In order to maintain competencies in the application of sensory integration theory, the following is required to ensure that skills learned through certification are honed and continually advanced:
Experience applying sensory integration methods especially in the format of clinic based services is strongly recommended for a minimum of two years.
Mentorship, through supervision, consultation, and professional guidance by a therapist certified in sensory integration.
Ongoing study and review of the literature that supports sensory integrative theory and its application.
As the therapist refines their expertise in sensory integration, ongoing feedback from professional peers who are also involved in using sensory integration as a frame of reference, as a check and balance for best practice.
The following core content is essential knowledge for the occupational therapist using the sensory integrative frame of reference in best practice.
Sensory Integration Theory
(Information provided through USC/WPS Course 1 and OT610 including recommended and required readings)
The original works of Dr. A. Jean Ayres.
Sensory integration-related publications and research.
Typical and atypical development.
Concepts of neuroplasticity, function and dynamic interactions of major neural areas, sensory processing, integration, and perception.
Assessment of Sensory Integration and Praxis
(Information provided in USC/WPS Course 2)
Understanding of the way in which assessments of sensory integration are administered as part of an overall occupational therapy evaluation (see Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, AOTA, 2002).
Competence in administration of the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests, a set of rigorously designed standardized tests that are considered the "gold standard" for assessing sensory integration and praxis. The SIPT were developed for assessing children ages 4 years to 8 years 11 months.
Knowledge of sensory integration theory and tests and measurements necessary to administer and interpret the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests and related information.
Skilled assessment of postural control through clinical observations and sensory modulation through parent report.
Skilled assessment of sensory modulation and self-regulation through family and teacher report.
Skilled observations of typical and atypical behaviors related to sensory integrative processes.
Interpretation of Assessment Data for Intervention Planning
Ways to analyze assessment data that includes the SIPT, Clinical Observations, Sensory Histories and Occupational Profile for the development of an intervention plan.
Understanding of sensory systems and factor and cluster analysis providing insights into patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction.
Knowledge of patterns of sensory integrative dysfunction that may predict strengths and weaknesses in the individual's ability to function and to guide intervention.
Understanding of the implications of sensory integrative dysfunction and its relationship to functionally relevant goals and objectives.
Analysis of the relationship of sensory integrative dysfunction and its impact on participation in the family, home and school.
Occupational Therapy Intervention using Sensory Integrative Strategies
(Information provided in USC/WPS Course 4 and OT610)
Knowledge of sensory integration as both a method and philosophy of intervention.
Comprehension of the ways in which the sensory integrative frame of reference is used by occupational therapists as part of their overall professional practice.
Skill in application of the principles of sensory integration including providing the proper environment, necessary equipment, planning space, timing, and rhythm of the sessions, and making environmental modifications.
Appreciation for inclusion, education, and consultation with the family and other significant individuals.
