Besançon (F): The hospital tells him to throw his fetus in the trash – Other facts
Leo Tolstoy Health
A young French woman suffered a miscarriage as incomprehensible, say Est Republicain . Here is his story.
Three-month pregnant Magdalena Cocatrix is woken up by "violent stomach ache" on the night from 16 to 17 August. Then the pains pass. She is going to sleep. But in the early morning, she said, her bed was soaked with blood. "I waited for the bleeding to cease and, according to my own means, I had the Minjoz CHU", gynecological obstetrics of Besançon Hospital.
It will arrive shortly after 8:00 in the morning. . After three hours of waiting, "said the newspaper, despite a record filled with similar warnings for a month, eventually ending an intern for a" # ~ "one ultrasound. Then the terrible pronunciation falls: her fetus has ceased to live. "The practitioner explains to her that she has a miscarriage," reported Est Republicain .
Magdalena Cocatrix is then sent home without explanation of bleeding and with a simple prescription for a painkiller. The staff told me that I could go home and that the fetus just went too small , "said the young woman.
" My pants were covered with blood "
She takes a tram. Contracts begin." I was terribly bad. Just arrived at home, I felt that a small mass was suspended. My pants were covered with blood. I locked myself in the bathroom and pulled out before I went to the empty bath. I took my baby in my hands. He was about 7 cm long and was very shaped. I pressed again for 20 minutes to reject the placenta. I was afraid of infection and massive bleeding. "
Alan Thierret, his companion, called the emergency room. He tells the story. Ask if anyone can come to check the condition of his girlfriend and restore the fetus." The person on the phone told me that the hospital would do nothing and we just had to put it in the trash! "He says indignant." How can you leave a mother in need? "
" Why did not they keep me? "
The couple then turned to their home doctor who urgently received Magdalena Cocatrix and gave her proper care. But the French still do not understand the actions of hospital staff:" Why did not they keep me? Suggested a solution to accelerate or cure the process and provide psychological support? "
[19459003DieOos-Republican called the hospital management for explanations. The latter responded in writing . "Reading this painful testimony, which we regret then t have not received us directly, requires precise elements about the care of this patient to provide all the information she is looking for "indicates the direction. Before we declare that "Mrs. Cocatrix can contact the management of the enterprise whenever she wants" … For the rest, "it is not possible to provide answers to medical confidentiality."

(Ander): Hi Darmian. I am looking for summer suits for upcoming summer season. Is there any cool, airy fabrics you recommend for making suits?
(Darmian): Hi Ander, thanks for your email.
Wearing suits in hot summer seasons could be troublesome for some people. But good news is, there is a suit fabric you have feel cool while keeping business formality.
Fresco fabrics woven made of pure wool yarns. The word fresco is derived from the Italian affresco which means "fresh". Fresco has a magical charm with excellent air permeability (and very suitable for making summer suits), high durability and resistant to wrinkles.
Fresco fabrics has a relatively high ductility and keeps the suits in well-shapes even after hours of transportation.
The fabrics is available at selected Hong Kong tailor shops. You can find your preferred tailors at tailor-m.com and inquire the availability of Fresco fabrics from your preferred tailors using the "Message Tailor" function.

Los Angeles Port Police have been working with marina operators and residents advising them of the tsunami advisory. Recreational boat owners have been advised to secure their boats. Cabrillo Beach and Royal Palms Beach have been closed to the public as a precaution. Additionally, no fishermen or others will be allowed on or near the breakwater.
A tsunami advisory means that a tsunami capable of producing strong currents or dangerous waves could occur. Significant inundation is not expected for areas under an advisory.


Driving with correctly inflated and legal tyres is crucial when hitting the road, either for the daily commute or when going on holiday. This week's "Getting to Know" guide looks at the role of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and how it works. As of November 2014, all new passenger cars sold in the European Union must be equipped with a TPMS.
What is a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an automatic monitoring system designed to monitor the pressure of tyres in order to alert the driver if there is under-inflation and a compromise of their safety. Poorly inflated tyres are prone to blow outs and may make it more difficult to brake or steer the car. Also, according to Continental, if a car's tyres are under-inflated by just 0.3 bar, the vehicle is likely to consume 1.5% more fuel and produce a higher level of CO2 emissions.
What are the different types of TPMS?
gauge the rate of revolution each wheel is making – it doesn't actually measure the pressure. Based on the rate of revolution of each wheel, the computer can interpret the relative size of the tyres on the vehicle. When a wheel starts spinning faster than expected, the computer calculates that the tyre is under-inflated and alerts the driver accordingly. The advantage of such a system is that it's relatively inexpensive compared to a direct TPMS, but on the other hand, may prove unreliable when tyres are unevenly worn.
Direct – gives a far more accurate reading than an indirect system as it uses pressure monitoring sensors within each tyre rather than wheel revolution data. Information from each sensor, which also have a unique serial number to distinguish themselves between those on the other tyres, is sent to a centralised control module where it's analysed, and if the pressure is lower than the recommended level, an indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard.
How is a driver alerted if one or more of the tyres are under-inflated?
The TPMS low tyre pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the car's dashboard in the shape of a tyre cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point.
Where can I find a garage to get my TPMS looked at or replaced?
To find your local Motor Ombudsman-accredited franchised car dealership or independent garage to get your tyre pressure monitoring system looked at or replaced, visit The Motor Ombudsman's online Garage Finder.


We had a big push of Dark-eyed Juncos through coastal CT during the first week of November. I ran into a few impressive flocks of 100+ birds. I checked each flock carefully for odd-looking individuals as this variable species takes many forms across the continent, and vagrants from western populations are sometimes recorded.
This bird was, oddly enough, completely by itself in dune vegetation with no other juncos in sight. I noticed bright buffy flanks and a shadow of a hooded appearance, which caused me to take notice. Closer looks revealed a bird with very little dark in the buffy sides/flanks and an ambiguous hood shape (concave versus convex). There was no obvious contrast between the bird's back and head, and moderate contrast between a brown back and gray rump.
This bird stood out among a flock of well over 100 birds that were feeding on the lawns here. It showed rather warm flanks, an ambiguous bib shape, and some contrast between gray head and brown back except for a brownish crown and central nape. The flanks had a moderate amount of dark feathering.
I have entered each of these birds into eBird as "Slate-colored/Cassiar" Juncos because I do not think they can be positively identified to form. They could very well be within the variation of "Slate-colored", particularly the East Shore bird. I have a tougher time believing that to be the case for the Long Beach bird, but who knows.
"Cassiar" Juncos (J. h. cismontanus) show traits intermediate between the "Oregon" Junco group (J. h. oreganus) and the easternmost "Slate-colored" taxon (J. h. hyemalis) due to gene flow. Junco taxonomy is incredibly complex and there is much we have yet to learn about the different forms and their relationships to one another. For a fascinating read, check out this ID-Frontiers thread on the subject, as archived by Angus Wilson on his website.
If you have an opinion on either of these birds, feel free to post a comment.
The third and final junco is in a different category than the first two. It shows no "Cassiar/Oregon"-like features. Instead, it shows a pale malar and chin, which are separated by a dark lateral throat stripe. Looking more closely, there is a pale supraloral spot, a hint of a pale supercilium, and even pale areas on the neck sides. These features combine to give the impression of a sparrow-like face pattern. Moving down the body, we see that the flank pattern is atypical for Dark-eyed Junco as the upper flanks are white. In the field I thought I might be seeing a few white-tipped greater coverts, but photos reveal that there are just a few thin white edges present, which appears to be an uncommon but regular feature in juncos.
"Slate-colored" Junco is known to hybridize with White-throated Sparrow. The most obvious hybrids are intermediate in appearance between the two species. But there may be more subtle hybrids slipping by, as the probable hybrids photographed by Mark Szantyr here in Connecticut. Might this bird have some Zonotrichia albicollis genes in it? Maybe!


Everybody who has known me for a while and has seen me take on a change (like moving to China,) knows that I can freak out. Like, really, really freak out. I get this stressed-out, deer-in-headlights kind of look and I start pacing because I get too flustered to do much else.
The thing is, I've handled the process of moving to China pretty well up until now. However, with literally 5 hours until my plane takes off, the nerves are here and they are hitting hard! All of the "what-ifs" are racing through my mind. SO MANY "WHAT-IF"s.
But there's only so much you can control in life. And while I can sit and panic about all kinds of little things, there really isn't any reason to do so. I get on the plane or I don't.
But I'm packed and ready. And I'm getting on that plane.

Security, and particularly cyber-physical-social security, has gained momentum worldwide due to the emergence of high-profile cyberattacks with catastrophic consequences on physical assets and social systems. It is crucial to secure cyber-physical-social systems that are present at the core of society. As smart systems, they include both physical and computational components, which seamlessly integrate and closely interact in order to sense the constantly changing states of the real world. The power grid, the transport network, and information and communication systems are some examples of these systems. They are the society's "Critical Infrastructures", which are national assets, and essential to maintaining vital societal functions.
Damage or destruction of critical infrastructures by natural disasters, terrorism, and criminal activity may have negative consequences for the security of a nation and the wellbeing of its citizens. Protecting them is essential, as well as protecting the system of system relationships that a failing system has, as these could render a minor system critical under certain circumstances. These facts unveil the significant importance of increasing the capacity of the critical infrastructures to resist in case of a threat and recover quickly from damages.
Due to the latest advancements, such as sophisticated threat matrices, automation related to the fourth industrial revolution, uncertainty about threat patterns, big data management, the complexity of social functions and structures and the related consequences for privacy and protection of personal data, upcoming attacks and threats have made these critical infrastructures highly insecure. As these infrastructures are heavily interconnected, this, as a result, makes the disruption more sophisticated and targeted. The potential damage caused by human errors in control systems is no less dangerous and could cause the decay of the system.
The scenario is even more complicated by the diverse state of digitalization of critical infrastructures or their ancillary services, and by the presence of diverse stakeholders and actors in their security and safety management. Recent events have demonstrated the increase of combined physical and cyberattacks due to their interdependencies [1]. Disruptions in the operation of a transport asset may result from many kinds of physical attacks and/or cyberattacks on installations and their interconnected systems. In addition, such attacks can easily be triggered with minimum human involvement from remote locations, thus making infrastructures more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Conversely, the involvement of people and 'soft targets' could be a fundamental resource in the prevention, detection, reaction, and mitigation phases.
The overall scenario is in continuous evolution, and novel emergent approaches are required to cope with the security and protection from physical and cyber threats and the correlated events.
This Special Issue will collect highly relevant and outstanding research articles that can provide solutions for securing and protecting critical infrastructures. This Special Issue will benefit the research domain and the industry as a result. The Authors are particularly encouraged to submit original articles, literature reviews, and research/discussion notes on critical infrastructures protection, and critical infrastructure cyber-physical-social resilience.

The electrical distribution network (EDN) is a critical infrastructure that plays a primary role in a person's life. Its resilience is a primary property to be achieved in order to withstand all types of perturbations affecting their functions, thus guaranteeing service continuity in adverse conditions. Resilience arises from a combination of a number of properties and actions related to both intrinsic system technologies and management skills. This work proposes a model enabling the estimation of the EDN operational resilience. The proposed model accounts for most of the parameters influencing the resilience of the network, such as network topology, technological properties of its active elements, the SCADA systems, automation procedures and management efficiency. Results confirm that the model can appropriately handle a real network with a large dimension and provide valuable insights to electrical operators. Full article

As a new area of technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a flagship and promising paradigm for innovating society. However, IoT-based critical infrastructures are an appealing target for cybercriminals. Such distinctive infrastructures are increasingly sensitive to cyber vulnerabilities and subject to many cyberattacks. Thus, protecting these infrastructures is a significant issue for organizations and nations. In this context, raising the cybersecurity posture of critical cyber infrastructures is an extremely urgent international issue. In addition, with the rapid development of adversarial techniques, current cyber threats have become more sophisticated, complicated, advanced and persistent. Thus, given these factors, prior to implementing efficient and resilient cybersecurity countermeasures, identification and in-depth mapping of cyber threats is an important step that is generally overlooked. Therefore, to solve cybersecurity challenges, this study presents a critical analysis of the most recent cybersecurity issues for IoT-based critical infrastructures. We then discuss potential cyber threats and cyber vulnerabilities and the main exploitation strategies adopted by cybercriminals. Further, we provide a taxonomy of cyberattacks that may affect critical cyber infrastructures. Finally, we present security requirements and some realistic recommendations to enhance cybersecurity solutions. Full article

Cyber attacks bring key challenges to the system reliability of load frequency control (LFC) systems. Attackers can compromise the measured data of critical variables of the LFC system, making the data received by the defender unreliable and resulting in system frequency fluctuation or even collapse. In this paper, to detect potential attacks on measured data, we propose a novel attack detection scheme using the dual-source data (DSD) of compromised variables. First, we study the characteristics of the compromised LFC system considering potentially vulnerable variables and different types of attack templates. Second, by designing a variable observer, the relationship between the known security variables and the variables which are at risk of being compromised in the LFC system is established. The features of the data obtained by the observer can reflect those of the true data. Third, a Siamese network (SN) is designed to quantify the distance between the characteristics of measured data and that of observed data. Finally, an attack detection scheme is designed by analyzing the similarity of the DSD. Simulation results verify the feasibility of the detection scheme studied in this paper. Full article

No not really, but what a chuckle we'd all get if it did cut a hole through existence, exposing the sound stage behind. Chuckling and weeping… Anyways, continuing with the space theme from the yesterday, according to an interview in the New York Times about the Voyager 1 probe, we aren't out of the solar system yet.
Wherever they are precisely, it's beyond exciting that both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are still operative after 30+ years of exploration. I can't wait for the final, conclusive announcement that a ma- made object has finally made it into interstellar space.

Марко Ковач – Шнајдер (1910 – 1944), учесник Народноослободилачке борбе и народни херој Југославије.

Биографија
Рођен је 6. септембра 1910. године у Турчишћу код Чаковца, у породици богатог земљопоседника. После завршене основне школе, радио је с родитељима и млађом браћом на земљи.

Крајем 1928. и почетком 1929. године, отишао је у Загреб, где је обављао претежно грађевинске послове. Као грађевински радник, од 1930. године се активно укључио у синдикални покрет. У пролеће 1932. године вратио се кући, где је радио на оснивању локалног фудбалског клуба и организовању партијске ћелије. Исте године, оженио се Јелком Хорват.

Чланом Комунистичке партије Југославије постао је 1933. године у Загребу, где је већ од пре био придружен као симпатизер, односно кандидат у једној партијској ћелији. Његовом заслугом формирана је, у лето 1935. године, прва партијска организација у Турчишћу. Када је исте године формиран и Котарски комитет КПЈ за Прелог, Марко је постао члан тог Комитета.

У лето 1936. године, помагао је, заједно с партијском групом, штрајк текстилних радника у фабрици "Брунер" у Чаковцу и штрајкове у Загребу (помоћ у храни) и Вараждину (у фабрици "Тивар"). Због политичке активности, а недовољне конспирације, ухапшен је фебруара 1937. године, заједно с групом комуниста и симпатизера из Доњег Међимурја. Окружни суд у Вараждину осудио га је на седам месеци затвора. После одслужене казне, забрањен му је, на неодређено време, боравак у Загребу, па су га власти присилно интернирале у родно село. Исте године, отишао је из села на осамнаест месеци у војску. После повратка кући, 1939. године, радио је на јачању партијских и скојевских организација.

Народноослободилачка борба
Када је мађарски окупатор 1941. године дошао у Међимурје, Марко је с друговима радио на припремању устанка. Уз то се и даље ангажовао у раду КПЈ и СКОЈ-а у котарима Прелог и Чаковец. Дана 29. јуна 1941. године, учествовао је у шуми Зеленбор у раду другог састанка руководства партијских организација из целог Међимурја, који је сазван због организовања устанка, прикупљања оружја, организовања саботажа и остало. Јула исте године, прекинута је веза с Окружним комитетом због хапшења великог броја комуниста, а због доласка М. Лацковића, члана Покрајинског комитета КПЈ у Загребу, у Међимурје (који је заступао дефетистичке станове и дошао у сукоб с члановима КПЈ, међу њима и с овачем) настала је својеврсна збрка међу комунистима тог краја. Због тога је Марко отишао, по наређењу партијских организација Међимурја, у Загреб да успостави партијске везе. Убрзо је Карло Мразовић дошао у Међимурје и консолидовао рад партијских организација.

Марка Ковача ухапсили су мађарски жандари 1942. године, баш у време када је с осталим друговима, припремао котарску партијску конференцију. Упркос страшном мучењу, није ништа признао. Осуђен је, исте године, у Сомбатхељу на две године затвора, а пуштен је у августу 1943. године.

После повратка из затвора, успоставио је везу с калничким партизанима и радио на пребацивању бораца преко Драве на Калник. Тада је постао члан Окружног комитета КП Хрватске за Вараждин. Када је, крајем 1943. године, формиран у ослобођеним Вараждинским Топлицама Окружни комитет НОО-а Вараждин (од представника свих котара бившег округа Вараждин), Марко је постао његов члан, као представник Међимурја. На оснивачкој конференцији тог комитета, учествовао је под илегалним именом Шнајдер. Касније је кооптиран у Котарски комитет КПХ за Прелог.

Окружни комитет КПХ за Вараждин одредио је на састанку у Апатовцу, 1944. године, да се Марко врати с Калника у Међимурје, како би организовао формирање заједничког комитета КПХ за Чаковец и Прелог. Због тога је, 15. јуна 1944. године, отишао с Калника.

На путу с Калника у Међимурје, погинуо је на Драви код села Отока, 16. јуна, у борби против усташа. Другови су га сахранили 20. јуна исте године, на острву на Драви. После рата, августа 1946. године, његови посмртни остаци пренесени су на сеоско гробље у Јурју, у Трњу.

Указом Президијума Народне скупштине Федеративне Народне Републике Југославије, 20. децембра 1951. године, проглашен је за народног хероја.

Luke Pearce (born 13 November 1987) is a British rugby union referee representing the Rugby Football Union. He is a regular referee in the English Premiership and has refereed games at European level and at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Refereeing career
Pearce, who grew up in Exeter, joined the Devon Referee Society in 2005 at the age of 16. He previously played rugby at junior level, being part of the Exeter Saracens Rugby Club and captained a Welsh Exiles Under-16's team. In September 2005, Pearce, refereed his first game, Crediton Seconds against Newton Abbot Thirds. From there, Pearce quickly went through the referee system, becoming the youngest referee to be promoted to the RFU National panel in 2009. By then Luke had already moved through the ranks refereeing in the RFU Championship at the age of 21.

In November 2009, Pearce took charge of the Russian cup final. On 10 September 2011, Pearce took charge of his first Premiership match, officiating Gloucester's home game against Worcester Warriors. That same season, he debuted on the World Sevens Series and since then has appeared in nine series tournaments.

On 18 November 2011, he took charge of his first European game, referring Stade Français's victory over București Wolves during the 2011–12 European Challenge Cup. In February 2013, Pearce refereed his first international, taking charge of Romania against Russia in the European Nations Cup. Later that year, he was appointed by the IRB (now World Rugby) to officiate in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France. This included the semi-final meeting between South Africa U20 and Wales U20. In October that year, Pearce went on to referee his first Heineken Cup match (Toulouse vs Zebre) before going onto officiate his first IRB appointed test match, Russia vs Japan. In 2014, Luke made his first Six Nations Championship appearance, acting as Assistant Referee for Steve Walsh in the meeting between Italy and Scotland. Weeks later, Pearce was in the middle for the 2014 European Nations Cup decider between Georgia and Romania which also acted as the last stage of qualification for European nations ahead of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Pearce also featured in the 2014 Africa Cup in Madagascar taking charge in two games.

In 2016, Pearce was Assistant Referee for Ireland's first ever victory over New Zealand, before he went onto referee his first major Tier 2 v Tier 2 match, Samoa vs Canada. In June 2017, he refereed his first Tier 1 nation, officiating Argentina's home match against Georgia.

In the 2018 mid-year rugby union internationals, he took charge of his first tier 1 vs tier 1 game. On 12 September 2021 he took charge of a Southern Hemisphere international, Australia v South Africa. One commentator said it was a pleasure to hear a new voice in Australian rugby.

I'm guessing that Bruno Mars' multiple awards wins last month is what ignited the flame of the culture vulture (appropriation of Black culture) conversation. So, let's talk about it. Bruno's ethnicity is Puerto Rican. A couple of months ago he had an interview where he seemed to be livid because he was being accused of denying and/or hiding his roots. In the interview, Bruno stated "My Daddy is a Puerto Rican pimp!" He also went into grave details about growing up listening to the greats in "Black music," and that all music can be traced back to Africa.
What is culture? Culture is the behaviors, beliefs and characteristics of a particular social, ethnic, or age group. Cultural appropriation is KIM KARDASIAN! (Just kidding, but not really). Cultural appropriation (cultural misappropriation) is the adoption STEALING the elements of a minority culture by members of the dominant culture." Now, let me give you a little history on Puerto Rico. Free Africans (Moors) came over to Puerto Rico with the Spaniards (Colonizers). When the Spaniards began to colonize Puerto Rico, they wanted more free labor so they began to participate in the Atlantic slave trade. Therefore Taínos (the indigenous people of Puert Rico) were combined with the African slaves.
I ran across a video of a popular YouTuber named Seren Sensi Aishitemasu. She is a well spoken Pro Black intellectual. But, I must admit I was disgusted to hear her comments about Bruno Mars. To say that Bruno plays up the fact that he's racially ambiguous in an effort to continue to appropriate Black culture/music is (1) Insensitive and (2) It's not true! To be mad at Bruno Mars for selling records based on the way he looks is the same thing as disliking Black people because they were born Black.
If Bruno grew up listening to "Black music," doesn't that make it part of his culture? Seren also said he uses his racial ambiguity to jump from different music genres, such as Rock & Roll, Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop! NEWSFLASH! ALL genres of music are Black genres of music!
One thing that I do agree with from Seren is that "White people prefer Black music from non Black artist." That's true, but it's always been that way! We know the colonizers love everything we have as long as we aren't the ones providing the good (s). It sounds like the anger and outrage should be directed towards the consumer, and not towards Bruno.
It seems like people aren't recognizing that the Fat Joe's and J. Lo's of the industry grew up in the same neighborhood as the Slick Rick's and Remy Ma's. We have similar plights and connected history! You can't appropriate a culture that you're already a part of, and you certainly shouldn't punish a person for their genetics. There are tons of celebrities that appropriate Black culture, but Bruno just isn't one of them.

Q: How to update a field of dynamic Elements (Input ID & Name) I am trying to update an amount to a field which having the below elements. I am no sure what is the code to use as the input id and name are not fixed and it change every time i access it. It doesn't give me any error message but the field is not being updated after I ran the codes.
`

      <input id="93497" name="93497" onchange="changedInputAmountInCurrencyDisplay(this , '2' , '.' , '.' , ',' , 'false' ); " class="rightJustifyStyle" type="text" size="10" value="" data-changed="false"><input id="93497HIDDEN" name="$PAcqCaseCreation$pMessageAmountUSD" type="hidden" value="0.00">

         USD

`

Below is the code that I created so far:
Sub Test()
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = New InternetExplorerMedium
Dim doc As HTMLDocument

IE.navigate "intranet"
IE.Visible = True

While IE.Busy Or IE.readyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE: DoEvents: Wend

Set doc = IE.document

Dim i As Integer
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim fileLink26 As String
Dim fileLink19 As String

Sheets("Case").Select
lastRow = Sheets("Case").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastRow

doc.contentDocument.querySelector("[onclick='CreateAcqCase();']").Click

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"))

fileLink26 = Cells(i, 26)
fileLink19 = Cells(i, 19)

    If fileLink26 = "" And fileLink19 = "CB" And Cells(i, 10).Value = "USD" Then
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim DispStg2 As Object
    Do While DispStg2 Is Nothing
    Set DispStg2 = doc.getElementsByTagName("iframe")(0).contentDocument.querySelector("input[value='FirstCB']")
    DoEvents
    Loop
    DispStg2.Click

Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:03"))

doc.getElementsByTagName("iframe")(0).contentDocument.querySelector("input.rightJustifyStyle").Item(2).Value = Sheets("Case").Range("k2") '>> This is where I stuck cause nothing happen after this code ran

End If
Next i
End Sub

A: doc.getElementsByTagName("iframe")(0).contentDocument.querySelector("input.rightJustifyStyle").Item(2).Value = Sheets("Case").Range("k2")

From your above sample code, it looks like you are trying to set the value of a second input element which has class name rightJustifyStyle in an iframe.
You can refer an example below.
Public Sub demo()
    Dim ie As Object

    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True

        ie.Navigate2 "D:\Backup20190913\tests\354.html"

        While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend

        ie.Navigate2 ie.document.querySelector("iframe").src

        While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend

        ie.document.querySelector("input.rightJustifyStyle:nth-of-type(2)").Value = "Test value..."

        While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
        Stop
        ie.Quit

End Sub

Output:

Let me know If I misunderstood anything. I will try to correct myself.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered vs Original Compared
12:02 pm March 23, 2018 By Julian Horsey
Assassin's Creed fans wondering what they can expect from the remastered edition of the Assassin's Creed Rogue game may be interested in a new comparison video which has been created by Digital Foundry comparing the new Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered vs the original game.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Was originally launched back in 2014 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, following on a little later during 2015 on the PC. Launching this week the Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered version brings the game to the more powerful PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. "Assassin's Creed Rogue is an action-adventure, stealth game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. Naval aspects from previous games return with the player controlling Shay's ship, Morrígan. Morrígan has a shallower draft compared to Edward Kenway's Jackdaw from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, allowing for river travel."
"One of the most overlooked games in the series gets a current-gen revival. While not as ambitious as Assassin's Creed Unity – also released in 2014 – Rogue still hands in beautiful visuals today. This package enforces a native 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, and 4K on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X – with upgrades besides."
