ALBANY, Ga. (WRBL) – Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany has confirmed three civilian employees tested positive for the coronavirus, COVID-19, within the last 48 hours.
Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, the three patients have been quarantined. Two individuals are isolated at home, while the third patient to test positive is asymptomatic, according to officials, and has been quarantined as a precautionary measure.
Following the positive test results, contact investigations were conducted to identify personnel who were in contact with the three individuals, and they have either placed in isolation or quarantine as well.
"We are committed to the protection of our force, family members and local communities. Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany increased its Health Protection Condition from HPCON Bravo to HPCON Charlie which enforces additional precautionary measures around the base to mitigate transmission and protects our military and civilian workforce, their families, and those in the local and surrounding communities," MCLB said in a statement.

So, how do we ensure children in the Ordinariates for Catholics of Anglican patrimony "get it," that is a supernatural faith, awe and enchantment?
Fast forward to more than two decades ago, when I taught Sunday school to a group of 12 year olds at the Baptist church I attended. It was the most stressful part of my week. The classroom was in a portable classroom that had some old couches and chairs, as well as a pool table. At 12, the girls are much more mature and even physically larger than most of the boys, who liked using the pool cues as swords. I tried to follow the curriculum the church gave me,and I had a young father named John who helped me enforce discipline, which was a constant battle. "Put down that pool cue!" "Stop that!" in a drill Sergeant voice punctuated the lessons.
These kids from good, faithful evangelical families were bored like I used to be. All the stories they had heard before. Blasé is almost too mild an adjective for their reactions to my teaching. One day, though, I threw out the curriculum, and I told them what I had been learning about Arius and St. Athanasius, how Arius was a popular singer, and didn't believe Jesus was God, and was highly persuasive so lots of people were led astray, and about one iota and so on and so on. I don't remember exactly what I said that day, but the kids—both boys and girls—paid attention. Riveted, spellbound, might be too strong an adjective, but let's say I didn't have to tell a kid once to put down a pool cue.
The Montessori-inspired catechesis program exposes children aged three to 12 to the Christmas story in five narratives, McClure said. These include the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Birth of Jesus Christ and the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.
The program is held in a child-friendly space called an atrium and begins with the Bible and a geography lesson, McClure said. The children use a "beautiful globe of the world" and a puzzle map of Israel to become familiar with the Holy Land. Later on, they use little characters made of clay or wood.
"We proclaim the Word to them, then together we ponder, we listen together," said Meghann Baker, a catechist from Russell, Ont. "We really have to … see what the Holy Spirit stirs in these little souls.
The preparation for Christmas begins by entering deeply into the Advent season.
"We talk about how long before Jesus came the Jewish people had been waiting and heard prophets who listened to God with the ears of their heart," said Baker.
The children also discuss "when Christ will come again," Baker said.
"I watch these little children and the ease with which they receive God's love, God's promises and God's gift and the joy," Baker said.
One of our children is attending the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at St. George's Parish, a Roman Catholic Parish in our neighborhood that participates with us in an annual Eucharistic procession on Corpus Christi. We also helped them sponsor a family of Syrian refugees.
We can see the change in the little five-year-old boy from our parish—-more reverence and interest in what is going on in the Mass, joining in the responses, even singing.
This version of my story may be a little longer in the Prairie Messenger.
I was sent to a Congregational Church as a youngster. I will never forget asking my young teacher a question when I was in kindergarten or first grade, "Were there dinosaurs in the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve?" I asked it sincerely, not to be a troublemaker, but immediately got the impression that it wasn't appropriate.

Detroit Businesses: Stepping Up to Fix Rape Kit Backlog
By The Editors / November 9, 2015 / Uncategorized / Leave a comment
This is a story about a business community stepping up to help fix a shortcoming at a public agency. Plenty of fodder for discussion, here. Is this action an example of "CSR" (corporate social responsibility)? If so, in which sense? Is it a "responsibility" as in, these businesses have a responsibility (an actual obligation) to step up? Or is it just a case of "taking" responsibility for a problem that isn't theirs? >>>
LINK: Detroit Businesswomen Team Up to Get Rape Kits Tested (by Claire Martin for NY Times)
…"The business community has rallied around us, particularly businesswomen who are saying this can't happen here if we're going to make this the city we're all working to make it," says Peg Tallet, who is chief community engagement officer of the Michigan Women's Foundation, which has been leading the Enough SAID effort since it teamed with Ms. Worthy's office and the Detroit Crime Commission in the summer of 2014.
Since then, spas, printing companies and other small businesses have donated services for fund-raisers. The female-run marketing agency Brogan & Partners has worked partly on a pro bono basis on tasks including naming and branding the Enough SAID campaign. And a group of African-American businesswomen has set a goal for their community to raise $657,090 by the end of 2016; the money will be used to test the remainder of the rape kits…..

National Legislative Assembly
Created: 1 October 1791
It was common practice for every iteration of France's national representative body to be referred to simply as the 'National Assembly', but this term covered three entirely separate institutions. The National Legislative Assembly replaced the Constituent Assembly as France's national representative body after the approval of the 1791 Constitution, which confirmed Revolutionary France as a constitutional monarchy. This arrangement lasted until 10 August 1792, when popular protests forced the Assembly to suspend the king's executive powers. Crucially, a 'Self-Denying Ordinance' meant that no deputy from the Constituent Assembly (and therefore no deputy from the Estates General out of which that body had grown) was allowed to stand for election to its successor institution. This broke the political link back to the earlier Revolutionary period and also encouraged rival spheres of political influence to grow up outside the Assembly around ineligible politicians. After the 10 August Revolution the Legislative Assembly was succeeded in September 1792 by a National Convention which immediately declared France a Republic.

Ein Helden Concert
Isaac Stern Auditorium, Carnegie Hall
Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Opus 83
Richard Strauss: Ein Heldenleben, Opus 40
Nelson Freire (Pianist), Lorenz Nasturica Herschcowici (Violin)
Mariinsky Orchestra, Valery Gergiev (Conductor)
V. Gergiev
Last night's concert of the Mariinsky Orchestra, with two gigantic late 19th Century works and one gigantic 21st Century conductor, did not sit well with the dozens of protestors outside Carnegie Hall.
Their screed was not unreasonable: The conductor Valery Gergiev had signed a letter of cooperation with Putin, not as a citizen but as a musician. So their point–outside of the posters and shouters etc–was that a) Music and politics don't go together, and b) this was not a question of politics, but of ethics.
Good point. But we have our own problems. And...gulp...while I wouldn't walk across a picket line, this was different. As Valery Gergiev is different. As is Nelson Freire, whose only shortcoming is that he doesn't come to New York as frequently as he should. This was a Brahms Second Concerto more memorable than virtually any other performance I've heard at Carnegie Hall.
Three-quarters of an hour, with every measure rounded, played less with great dynamics as with breadth, fullness, the Freire tones warm and personally fulfilling. That opening movement was an offering of love, the rippling notes at the beginning, the glistening octaves as this so difficult movement went on.
Mr. Freire has always played his Schumann and Brahms with a loving adoration. When it comes to such a long work (is this the longest piano concerto ever written? Or was it Busoni?), Mr. Freire never wandered, never let a measure go by without caressing the notes. As for Mr. Gergiev, no matter his autocracy with any orchestra, especially his own Mariinsky, he gives way to such an experienced master.
Mr. Freire took the fast movement with an easy flow, and the Andante, like the other movements, without anything even approaching the maudlin It was unforced, it flowed. For the Finale, Mr. Freire danced a graceful dance, paid homage to the Hungarian rhythms, allowing it be his own paean of love to Brahms himself.
No encore was needed, but he played an arrangement of Gluck's Orpheus dance with an equally lighthearted, delicate joy. Not the usual Rachmaninoff arrangement, but that of Giovanni Sgambati.
The interval was far too long. I wanted–needed–Mr. Gergiev's Heldenleben. This was the first recording I ever owned, conducted by Strauss's friend Clemens Krauss, and I've loved every performance since.
Mr. Gergiev–in a fit of democratic links with his Mariinsky Orchestra?–eschewed a platform. Standing right on the stage, he started with a zooming lift of the orchestra, and never let that tempo go.
Was this disconcerting? Only for the first two measures. After that, it was obvious that a hero's life was not to be trivialized. Every measure until the last was taken faster than usual. But miracle of miracles, his Mariinsky offered a clarity, a pellucidity in several sections which one cannot get with smaller orchestras at a slower pace.
One heard every woodwind squeak as the carpers, one could spot each of the trumpets, separate the six percussion players in the war scene. As for the "companion", Strauss's panegyric to his apparently awful wife, we had a violinist who didn't sing that wonderful solo. Lorenz Nasturica Herschcowici played with a tough, hard tone, he seemed to improvise, he almost talked his way through the part, giving a personality to the virago.
As to the 34-year-old Strauss's ascension to a metaphorical heaven, methinks this is as glorious an ending as Zarathustra's beginning. True, the horn made some serious bloopers here, but that hardly ruined one of Strauss's greatest measures in his long history.
Apparently, the Mariinsky gave an encore from Firebird, but I had no desire to hear it. After such a heroic effort by both pianist and conductor, the frantic movements of a mere avian would have extinguished all the previous emotions.

Nacho Martin Silva. Courtesy of Max Estrella
Max Estrella is pleased to present Nacho Martin Silva's (Madrid, 1977) most recent work. Titled Woodworm in Lumber, this is his first exhibition at the gallery after joining Max Estrella's roster. Three large-format paintings work as the show's central axis and serve as a narrative strategy. It questions the unequivocal interpretation of history, which is constructed by the prevailing order. References for these works are taken from exhibiting rooms in different museums: the Sigmund Freud House-Museum in London, the Museum of Decorative Arts of Madrid, and the Archaeological Museum of Madrid.
All exhibited works stand for the possibility of enjoying multiple optics of different events simultaneously. A course is set, just as the tunnels excavated by woodworm in lumber. There is a large network of connections that leave a discreet trail behind. These are only noticeable through a deeper look. Therefore a multi-focus approach is presented. A construct allows divergent micro-histories from the official discourse.
Disorientation is one of the most effective tactics to achieve destabilization. When referring to a structure, metaphorically or literally, there are two possibilities. On one hand, damage could be produced by actions of great magnitude. That is, planned gestures. On the other, it may also happen because of silent actions caused by natural instinct. In a literal sense, woodworms are an example of the latter. Larvae of different species of coleoptera excavate labyrinthine tunnels, feeding on and living in the same wood that they end up debilitating.
Non-obvious superstructures or the education and context of each individual condition an "express" visit to the narrative-generating museum. As with lumber and woodworms, an in-depth reading reveals an intricate web of possibilities to inhabit, navigate, digest and destruct them. The latter is not meant in a literal sense; it refers to collapse due to deterioration. This is caused by repeated rethinking of the appropriation of an image that transforms into another, hence modifying its meaning. These measured non-obvious incursions introduce confusion, and give the spectator access to a new analysis that sustains Martín Silva's sense of purpose.
In the early 1970s, Gordon Matta-Clarck, central member of the Anarchitecture group, signed a poetical declaration of principles: Here is what we have to offer you in its most elaborate form – confusion guided by a clear sense of purpose. Intentional confusion is a good guide for almost any discovery.
Nacho Martín Silva lives and works in Madrid. He has presented solo exhibitions in Centro de Arte Alcobendas (Madrid), Spring Break Art Show (New York) and Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró (Mallorca). He received the Pilar Juncosa & Sotheby's Biennial Award for Artistic Creation as well as a Casa Velázquez Residency. His work is present in multiple collections such as Jorge Pérez, María Cristina Masaveu Peterson, DKV, and Absolut, among others.

Bank charges: we need more competition
So the Office of Fair Trading is withdrawing its attempt to force the banks to reduce their charges for going overdrawn to reasonable levels. This is a pity: we all have stories about the way banks behave to their customers. For a week or so, I was charged every time my account fluctuated above the critical level. If I hadn't bothered to put money in, I would only have been charged once.
But regulating the banks into reasonable charges was always going to be a difficult call when the underlying economics of the situation allows them to charge pretty much what they like. The real issue here is not about regulation, it is about competition. We have too few banks – far too few compared to our competitors. That is why Britain is taking so long too claw its way out of recession.
There are only 170 branches per million people in the UK, compared to 520 in Germany and 960 in France. No wonder small businesses, and individual retail customers, get such a raw deal. We will carry on getting a raw deal until the government breaks up the oligopoly they have allowed to build up, which can charge what they like – and pay themselves what they like – because there is barely any competition.
What is fascinating about this approach is how shy the Conservatives are about it, and here is the dilemma for the Cameron government. Do they allow the semi-monopoly to continue, in the name of some perverse version of the free market, and pander to the financial lobbyists (as seems likely) or do they step in and create a proper free market in banking.
The first is unthinkable – for anyone who wants to make the UK economy thrive – but the second is so terrifying that they seem unlikely to do it. We look set to have another government which espouses open markets in theory but daren't put them into effect in practice.
It is, in short, precisely the issue that the Liberal government of 1906 was swept to power on.
Boyle's Law for public services
The writing is now on the wall for the combination of centralisation, process bureaucracy and inappropriate IT systems which have been such a disempowering feature of our public services for the past decade. Research published in the American Journal of Medicine shows that IT investment in health services doesn't cut costs:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TDC-4XSCVHB-1&_user=8725334&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=8725334&md5=df823db1f8d6ba9cfbcf2eb0dce474f0
In fact, the hospitals which had invested most quickly in IT solutions had found that their administration costs had risen the most. Those on the 'Most Wired' list had not managed to cut their costs at all.
This is important stuff because it confirms that one of the most disastrous aspects of New Labour centralisation has been the massive IT projects in public services. They didn't just cost a huge amount. They also set processes in concrete, so that they became inflexible.
That is the real disaster about the government's misuse of IT: it has taken the exhausting bureaucracy and it has made it even more inflexible than before. It can't now be reformed without dumping entire IT systems.
Go along to A&E at King's College Hospital and you will find that nobody can help you until they have gone through more than 20 pages of questions on their IT system. This kind of inflexibility – more about satisfying the craving of the centre for data than it is about helping patients – is repeated throughout our public services, and goes some way to explain why they are as expensive as they are.
But there is an even more important aspect than this. The way IT has been use in public services has overwhelmingly been to remove the human element in healthcare, to make one doctor interchangeable with any other, just as they have tried to remove variable human beings from a range of other public service systems.
This is part of the agenda of the American healthcare industry, a slow shift to the position where real treatment decisions are based on a quick conversation about symptoms between the doctor and the insurance company, in order to slot patients into their huge database of NICE-style cost-effective practice. It is an agenda which has been driven, not by doctors but by health consultants, and it is parallel to the same kind of agenda that is creeping into education.
None of this is to suggest that IT is useless. Quite the reverse. It has obviously changed the way we all work and can vastly increase the efficiency of what we do, but not if we try and take people out of crucial relationships with professionals. Nor if we believe somehow that critical human relationships can be reduced to data.
The problem is that these systems are far more ambitious than simply easing people's work with IT. They are moving into areas where they frustrate the process whereby change happens most effectively, which is in face to face relationships. In those circumstances, IT investment undermines people's ability to use their intuition, trust and creativity. Huge IT investment is bound, therefore, to lead to less successful organisations, more mistakes, less imagination and more crass simplification. Hence the latest findings.
This is, in fact, my own version of Boyle's Law: The more money that is spent on IT, the more it costs everybody else.
There are obviously exceptions to this law. I am not being a Luddite here, or not seriously. Where IT gets to be a problem is where technological solutions are used to suppress the brilliant possibilities of human beings. Then the shrinking ability of the organisation to learn, to achieve its objectives effectively and imaginatively, means that we all have to pay more – whether it is in buying the products or in our taxes because the health systems heal less effectively, or our schools educate less effectively. If people get ignored, it costs us.
That is the disastrous hidden narrative of Gordon Brown's public service reform, but it needs a political party to articulate it clearly.

The disaster of Gershon
The news that Sir Peter Gershon has been swallowed by the Conservative Party is bad news for public services. It implies that Cameron will follow the Gershon prescription for efficiency – and that means more of the same.
In fact, the 2004 Gershon Review – which included coachloads of representatives from the IT consultants PA Consulting – has been disastrous for public services. It decided (surprise, surprise!) that huge investment in IT was required.
The result has been huge factory back office processing systems, vast waste, less human contact with the general public – who have to interact via call centres which may or may not have the particular issue they are calling about on their software.
It has meant a de-humanising sclerosis for public service systems, and it has locked inefficiencies into concrete processes. The systems thinker John Seddon reckons that public sector call centres are wasting between 40 and 80 per cent of their efforts as a result. See for example some of the discussion on this on www.systemsthinking.co.uk
But it does provide an opportunity for the Lib Dems for a coherent critique of public sector efficiency, if they have the nerve. But Gershon is not anything that should be emulated.
How to save RBS from its directors
Vince Cable was quite right on the Today programme this morning. The response to the RBS director's threat to resign if they are not allowed to pay the bonuses they want to their failed, cash-strapped, state-owned bank should be to say: go ahead.
But we need to look a little more closely at the business of banking bonuses. They are paid out of a percentage of the profits of the investment divisions, sometimes up to fifty per cent. The money would otherwise go to the shareholders – the same ones who failed to exercise proper control over the bank they owned.
There are some, and Fortune magazine is among them, who say that they are better shared with the staff than shovelled at the owners – and that's right as far as it goes.
But the real question is not why the bonuses are so high. It is why the profits are so high. They come, after all, out of all of our pension investments, or the debt that goes to build productive business, or capital investments in public infrastructure. The real scandal is that these bonuses are paid out of fees which ought rightly to stay with the small investors who are watching the value of their pensions falling.
The fact that the banks are able to award themselves such hefty fees is purely because we have allowed a semi-monopoly to build up in banking, both domestic and investment banking. So here is the real solution: slash the bonuses, accept the resignation of the directors, put in their place bankers who are prepared to do what is necessary to break up RBS into its constituent businesses and regions.
In the process, they can rebuild the competitiveness of RBS and their investment arm by massively slashing the fees they charge borrowers, individual pensioners and savers. That is a business model that might work: genuine competition.

Mako Bill to Remove Capital Stock and Foreign Franchise Taxes Language from Law Passes House
HARRISBURG – The House today approved legislation written by Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/Northampton) to remove the assessment methodology from state law for the Capital Stock and Foreign Franchise Taxes (CSFFT).
The bill is part of an eight-piece package of legislation designed to repeal antiquated laws that are no longer applicable and contribute to the already complex and confusing nature of government. The CSFFT was eliminated on Jan. 1, 2016.
"While the Capitol Stock and Foreign Franchise Taxes are no longer collected, some may be confused that the explanation of how they are calculated is still in state law." Mako said. "My bill would eliminate this unneeded language. It is important to periodically make sure contradictory laws are repealed to avoid misunderstandings."
House Bill 1080 would repeal Act 177 of 1927, which created a more equitable method of assessing the CSFFT against corporations, limited partnerships, joint stock associations and companies. Act 23 of 2000 began the eventual phase out of the CSFFT.
The bill now goes to the Senate for its consideration.

Lopez nearing return to rotation
By Shane Jackson
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right-hander Reynaldo Lopez could be nearing a reunion with the White Sox rotation.Lopez, who has been on the shelf with a back strain, threw a successful second bullpen session on Tuesday at Target Field prior to a tilt with the Twins. The first bullpen session took place over
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right-hander Reynaldo Lopez could be nearing a reunion with the White Sox rotation.
Lopez, who has been on the shelf with a back strain, threw a successful second bullpen session on Tuesday at Target Field prior to a tilt with the Twins. The first bullpen session took place over the weekend at Guaranteed Rate Field. It was a sign of progress for Lopez after he was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Aug. 19.
"He's been doing really well. He's feeling good," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "I think he's progressing positively and we hopefully will be seeing him soon."
Lopez made a pair of starts for Chicago in August after being promoted from Triple-A. In two starts, Lopez allowed eight runs off nine hits across 10 1/3 total frames. His last appearance came on Aug. 17 at the Rangers, in which he was charged with six runs across 4 1/3 innings.
The White Sox plan to assess Lopez over the next few days before deciding what to do next with him.
"We are not going to push it, but when he's ready to go and the slot is available, he will be back in there," Renteria said.
Lopez's return would be a boon for a club that has struggled on the mound for much of the season.
Entering Tuesday, the White Sox posted a 5.12 ERA as a rotation over a total of 692 2/3 innings of work. That rotation ERA ranks better than only two staffs (Reds and Orioles) in all of baseball. Meanwhile, Chicago's strikeout-to-walk clip of 7.8 percent is tied with Texas for worst mark in the Majors.
White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper didn't fly with the team to Minnesota due to an illness. He is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday.
Shane Jackson is a reporter for MLB.com based in Minneapolis who covered the White Sox on Tuesday.

Saigon: Palaces and Museums
Vietnam December 6, 2018
Started with a nice breakfast—how I will miss these smorgasbord hotel breakfasts—and walked to the nearby Ben Thanh market, but everyone was just setting up, so we decided to return later. Instead we headed in the opposite direction to Reunification Palace (also known as Independence Palace), in a large park also near the hotel.
We began with viewing an exhibition in a building on the grounds. It covered, in photographs, the history of the original Norodom Palace, from its construction in 1873 by the French to its bombing destruction in 1962 by two rebel Vietnam Air Force pilots attempting to assassinate Ngô Đình Diệm.
Then we walked to the new palace, built in 1966, as the heat of the day really started to kick in. The place was an amazing 1960s snapshot, like a James Bond villain's lair complete with a helicopter on the roof, a goofy and groovy hang-out room with curved sofas and bars, and a bunker stuffed with period communication gear in the basement. Everything (except the basement) felt very open and airy, perfect for the climate. But it it did seem to be summed up by the fact that the space on the roof, specially designed by the architect as a roof for meditation, had actually been used for wild parties.
As usual, the puffed-up leaders hold dinners and parties in luxury while the common people work themselves to an early grave for a bowl of rice.
From there, we walked to the War Remnants museum. This was a pretty gruelling and emotional experience, and several times I had to hold back tears at the incredibly graphic photographs—not only of victims of war, but later victims of Agent Orange. Now I know what a person blasted into bits by a bomb really looks like, and I'll never not know.
The Vietnam war is something that should be fully and honestly covered in every US school. That country is currently in such a mess because they persist in glorifying their own history instead of learning from it.
It was incredibly hot, and we were exhausted mentally and physically when we left the museum. We had a leisurely lunch in a pretty upmarket restaurant, then went back to the hotel.
I decided to go up to the roof and check out the 'pool/jacuzzi', and when I got there, the heavens had just opened and rain was pouring heavily straight down on the city in that tropical monsoon way. A guy in the small pool stood right at the edge of the drop and opened his arms out in a gesture of power, so I did the same, intoning in a deep voice 'THIS PLACE IS MINE' and we both laughed. How ridiculously lucky we are.
After a rest Carol and I headed out again and walked to the Rex Hotel rooftop bar. This is where the US army and journalists would have their '5 o'clock follies'—the increasingly bullshit press briefings about the progress of the war. It's also where a friend of mine played for a week with The Beatels (a Beatles cover band) back in 2005, and another couple of friends were here on their honeymoon at the same time.
I had a martini, followed by a beer. Down below us in the square people started to gather around big video screens and horns started to blow. There was a big soccer game between Vietnam and the Phillipines on and everyone was out to watch it. Great vibe, if a bit insane with the constant horn-blowing!
We found a restaurant in a nearby side street called The Secret Garden and had an excellent dinner. Later, Vietnam won 2-0. All night—well, certainly until I finally went to sleep at 1pm or so—people in the street cheered and blew horns.

Full management of current records (customer and supplier billing, receipt and payment).
OpenFlyers offers a real accountancy engine which registers entries according to the double entry bookkeeping. Completely integrated to the other features, via the e-commerce module, the accountancy engine generates automatically the key entries, especially the ones related to the turnover, during the various entries (booking, validity purchase or activity entry).
It has an original interface to enter supplier's invoice which registers the types of invoices. Each subsequent entry is facilitated and can be delegated to persons without any accounting knowledge.
The accounting entries are guaranteed unalterable under a chained encryption system. Each write is encrypted according to the encryption of the previous write. It is generated at the same time as a seal. The seal is both stored in the database and sent with a payment receipt to the user who made the payment. So, the users of the platform take the place of trusted third parties, since one can compare the seals they have received with the seals registered in the base of the platform.
In this way, the OpenFlyers platforms comply with Article 286 of the French General Tax Code, which came into effect on January 1, 2018, requiring the guarantee of the inalterability, preservation and archiving of the accounting entries of any company with a cash register software.
It may be helpful to group invoices in a single PDF file, including sending them by email. This may be the case, for example, for a works council pay invoices for multiple users.
This gives the list of invoices corresponding to the selection. It is then possible to withdraw clearing the bills, and then generate the PDF file or even to save this list in CSV format.
A single PDF file is created containing all the bills on a one invoice per page. It is then easy to send that statement attached invoices by email. Each invoice has implicitly marked "DUPLICATE" as accounting standards require the uniqueness of the bill (see previous page of this newsletter).
OpenFlyers database registers entries according to the double entry bookkeeping so as to facilitate exports and extractions.
E-commerce module is integrated transparently to OpenFlyers application offering a great integration flexibility to every kind of activity.
It is possible to export account entries towards every kind of accounting format. If the format is not supported by the application, we can add it, on request.
Payment methods are defined by the structure. It can then choose between all the payment methods accepted proposed, and to create specific ones.
Free and total definition of billing formulas and of their application criteria, with the possibility to cumulate generating lines.

FCC lawsuit season is here: Will net neutrality be altered after all?
The Open Internet Rule is finally entering the Federal Register and this means lawsuit season is officially upon us. Beware of the ISPs.
Jennifer Walpole, Sr. Staff Writer
After a net neutrality win, it's lawsuit season
Sound the alarms, the Open Internet Rule is finally entering the Federal Register and lawsuit season is officially upon us. Now that the season is open, trade groups representing all the big ISPs will be able to act on their promises to sue by asking the court to stop this net neutrality/Open Internet thing before it even gets off the ground.
In case you missed it, the net neutrality win means that whether you're browsing eBay, or streaming the latest Stallone movie, your internet service provider has to load each site with equal speed. It kills the idea of an internet 'fast lane,' that would allow customers to pay more to receive preferential, faster, service.
Years of battling come to a head
The ruling came after a year long war between telecom companies and net neutrality advocates. The FCC received more than four million comments, as well as a call from President Obama, urging to adopt the strongest rules possible.
Lawsuits are now expected from the industry, which contends new regulations will burden their investments, prevent innovation, and harm consumers. Former FCC chairman, Michael Powell warned that customers would undoubtedly and nearly instantaneously "bear the burden of new taxes and increased costs."
If you've been following the net neutrality battle at all, then you'll know the agitation of the big ISPs is nothing new. After a public statement from the White House in Novemer, regarding Tittle II classification, ISPs began to worry it could really happen and by the end of February their fears were confirmed.
So who opposes this? You'll be shocked. (JK, you won't be)
As soon as the Federal Register printed the new rule, which will not be effective until June 12, a 10-day window was opened. This allows opposing parties to try and stop it. Opposers include: NCTA, CTIA, USTelecom, and the American Cable Association.
As the Consumerist states, "the trade groups are attacking on basically every possible front at once: procedure, authority, and substance. That is, they claim that the FCC did it wrong; that even if the FCC didn't do it wrong, that they didn't have the authority to do it; and that even if they did have the authority to do it and didn't do it wrong, that the details are all rubbish and need to be thrown out."
That's pretty much the fight in a nutshell: trade groups are mad and they are coming from every side possible to try and get this decision reversed or amended.

Q: javascript arrays with few fields compare I have two arrays (data and data_not_included).Each elemet of those arrays has attridutes id and name. I fill them this way:
data[i] = {
           name :products.models[i].get('name'),
           id :  products.models[i].get('id')
          };

Now I want do display the elements in data which are not in data_not_included array. For example I have
data=[{name: Sugar}{id: 1},{name: Butter}{id: 2},{name: Cola}{id: 3}]
// and
data_nat_included = [{name: Sugar}{id: 1},{name: Butter}{id: 2}].

It should display {name: Cola}{id: 3} only.
Here is what I have already done:
for(var j=0;j<data_not_icluded.length;j++)
{
    for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
    {
        if(data[i].id != data_not_icluded[j].id ){
          //but this doesnt work for me it displayes a lot of element many times
        }
     }
}

A: Both answers are asymptotically bad. This means they run in suboptimal time. In other words, they are naive approaches to solving the problem. This problem is more widely known in the domain of databases, where join operation is a commonplace. It is also known that the complexity of a join is O(log n * n + log m * m) where n is the number of elements in first table and m is the number of elements in the second table. This is fewer operations then would be required by naive solution offered in other examples O(n^2).
However, if more is known about your data, as, for example, I would expect that the values are unique and easily serializable to string, you could even reduce the complexity to O(n + m) by simply creating hashes of the objects you want to compare. Here's how to do it:
Where n is the number of elements in the first array and m is the number of elements in the second array.
var data = [{ name: "Sugar" },
            { id: 1 },
            { name: "Butter" },
            { id: 2 },
            { name: "Cola" },
            { id: 3 }];
var dataNatIncluded = [{ name: "Sugar" },
                       { id: 1 },
                       { name: "Butter" },
                       { id: 2 }];

function join(a, b) {
    var hashA = {}, hashB = {}, p, result = [];
    function setter(hash) {
        return function (element) { hash[JSON.stringify(element)] = element; };
    }
    a.forEach(setter(hashA));
    b.forEach(setter(hashB));
    for (p in hashB) delete hashA[p];
    for (p in hashA) result.push(hashA[p]);
    return result;
}
// [{ name: "Cola" }, { id: 3 }]

A: A simple way to do that:
var vals = [];

for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
{
    var found = false;
    for(var j=0;j<data_nat.length;j++)
    {
        if(data[i].id == data_nat[j].id ){
          found = true;
          break;
        }
     }
    if (!found) vals.push(data[i]);
}

JSFiddle

A:
for(var j=0;j<data_not_icluded.length;j++)
    for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
        if(data[i].id != data_not_icluded[j].id )

Think of what this does: For any not included object, show all objects that have not the same id as the current not included one. This will show many items multiple times, and it will show objects that are in "not included" but at another position.
Instead, loop over data, check each that it is not included in data_not_included, and display it otherwise:
dataloop: for (var i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
    for (var j=0; j<data_not_included.length; j++)
        if (data[i].id == data_not_icluded[j].id)
            continue dataloop;
    display(data[i]);
}

Or, using some iteration methods of Arrays:
data.filter(function(d) {
    return data_not_included.every(function(n) {
        return d.id != n.id;
    });
}).each(display);

Last Game: Tuesday morning in Bridgeport, the Penguins won 3-1. Ryan Haggerty scored twice and Tristan Jarry stopped 32 shots. For Binghamton, the Devils were in action last Saturday where they lost to the Rochester Americans at home 6-4. Blake Pietila had a goal and an assist and John Quenneville had three assists.
Last Meeting: January 26 in Binghamton the Penguins won 5-4 in overtime. Teddy Blueger scored :41 into overtime for the win.
Why You Should Care: Big two points available for the Penguins tonight against a last place Binghamton team who ate 2-7-1 in their last ten games. Wilkes-Barre is three points out of a playoff spot and need to win to keep pace. Playing the right way, like they did Tuesday in Bridgeport, should get them past the Devils this evening.
Other Game to Watch: Bridgeport and Providence start a home and home series tonight in Rhode Island. Cheer for a Pens win tonight and a Sound Tigers regulation win.

My name is [insert name here]. I'm calling because I'm concerned about the growing number of aging oil wells in Alberta.
I was shocked to learn that Canadian Natural Resources, for example, has more than 10 000 inactive wells that are over 15 years old — even though, just last week, they announced 2018 third quarter earnings of over $1.8 billion. And with teams of operators flicking used wells on for just 3 hours a year to make them seem active, who knows how many more wells CNRL and other oil companies have sitting idle on the land.
The longer these wells sit on the land, the more chance they have of leaking toxins into soil and water and releasing harmful air pollutants and greenhouse gases. This is unacceptable.
The AER has told the public of Alberta that oil and gas liabilities are $58 billion, while privately estimating they total $260 billion. The enormous difference in these public and private numbers demonstrates a serious lack of transparency in the data around clean up costs. Information on how many liabilities each oil company has, as well as full, detailed LLR calculations for each company, is simply not available to the public. This is unacceptable given the huge costs that Albertans are not currently protected from being left behind with.
I strongly urge you to release more information publicly about cleanup estimates, so that we can have a real picture of well liabilities in the province. Albertans deserve to know the financial and environmental cost of aging oil infrastructure.

FDA approves Urotronic's Optilume drug coated balloon for urethral strictures
December 13, 2021 By Danielle Kirsh
Urotronic today announced that it received FDA approval for its Optilume urethral drug-coated balloon for male urethral strictures.
Plymouth, Minnesota–based Urotronic designed the paclitaxel-coated balloon to inhibit new scar tissue growth that can occur after endoscopic dilations. Urethral strictures are scars in or around the urethra that can restrict urine flow from the bladder.
According to its Robust 1 and Robust 3 clinical trials, Optilume has been shown to significantly reduce stricture recurrence, according to the company. At three years, patients had a 77% freedom from reintervention rate, a 176% increase in Qmax and a 65% decrease in IPSS.
"We are excited to introduce Optilume to the U.S. urology community and their patients who suffer from this debilitating disease. The technology has the potential to reduce burdens across the U.S. healthcare landscape as a treatment that is easy to learn and can be performed as an outpatient procedure. Optilume is the treatment that breaks the cycle of recurrent urethral strictures," president and CEO David Perry said in a news release.

Trump administration moves $260M from cancer research, other programs to help pay for custody of immigrant children
Posted 9:20 AM, September 24, 2018, by CNN Wire
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Trump administration is planning to shift more than $260 million to cover the rising cost and strain of housing thousands of undocumented immigrant children in their custody – including millions of dollars from programs like cancer research and HIV/AIDS prevention.
The request comes as the program has been strained by record-high levels of children in custody, driven in large part by new policies that are holding kids longer and making it more difficult for them to be released to adults, such as family members.
It also comes amid news that the Department of Health and Human Services once again could not locate 1,500 children it had released over a three-month period.
There are more than 13,000 children currently in HHS custody, spokeswoman Evelyn Stauffer told CNN. The number fluctuates daily, but that is higher than the record-setting 12,800 in custody last week.
Few dozen migrant families to be reunited Tuesday
The program request is detailed in a letter to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, and other lawmakers from HHS Secretary Alex Azar dated September 5, which was obtained by CNN.
In the letter, Azar said his agency is reallocating up to $186 million from other pots of HHS money and up to $80 million from refugee programs that are being little used as the administration slashes the yearly number of refugees admitted to the country.
The Department of Homeland Security similarly reprogrammed more than $200 million to cover immigrant detention this month, including $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The letter was first reported by Yahoo News.
The documents show a plan to take money from a variety of places, including $16.7 million from the child benefits program Head Start, $3.8 million from HIV programs as part of a bigger $16.7 million from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, $9.8 million from Medicare and Medicaid program operations, $2.2 million from maternal and child health programs, $5.8 million from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, $13.3 million from the National Cancer Institute and $87.3 million overall from the National Institutes of Health.
DNA testing being done on separated migrant children and parents, official says
The program that houses immigrant children who came to the US alone or were separated from an adult at the border has regularly needed additional funding in past years, requiring that it be allocated from other parts of the department's budget.
In a statement, HHS said these types of reprogramming requests are routine and have occurred for the the immigrant children program in previous years going back to 2012. Similar transfers of money are also used in times of need, like with the Zika concerns in 2016.
"HHS is utilizing the Secretary's transfer and reprogramming authorities to provide additional funds for the care of unaccompanied alien children," said HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan. "The funding will now likewise be used for increases in caseloads and unexpected surges in children needing care from our program. Unfortunately, the need for additional funds has grown since FY 2011, due to the continual increase of unaccompanied alien children at the border. These transfers are only a temporary solution to the sad consequence of a broken immigration system."
HHS said that so far, the only reallocation that has happened in 2018 was $17 million in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program that supports HIV/AIDS treatment for those who struggle to afford it.
Federal agencies are allowed to shift funds as long as they are not taking more than 1% from a given pot of money or increasing another pot of money more than 3%. Those types of requests must be sent to the relevant congressional subcommittees and approved by those committees' chairmen.
With Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress, those chairmen are Republicans. Democrats do not need to sign off.

Supported by OS provided location services and expanded permissions, as well as by the emergence of Artificial Intelligence based "background" services like Siri, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, 2016 marks the inflection point for branded apps seeking "Always On" permission to understand user location and motion patterns in order to better understand, anticipate, and serve changing customer interests and needs.
All are taking advantage of OS location settings that permit users to determine one of three permissions: Never—While Using—Always.
These permissions can be managed in the privacy section of iOS and Android. Brands can also establish privacy settings within their company's apps to enable easier management by consumers.
But things are changing rapidly. Brands are now aligning permissions with valued behaviors and opportunities (see Nordstrom below), and are timing the presentation of permissions in a more sophisticated and natural manner: rather than ask immediately upon app install, they wait until the desired action is triggered and then provide the permission. This has a clear positive effect on opt-in behaviors.
Finally, app developers are learning that Location and Motion data relative to physical locations can lie at the core of their app and loyalty experience, not on the periphery as a bolt-on. They see the opportunity to update mobile wallets within host apps with offers when users trip a lease line, or to provide timely reminders and rewards when a user drives past their store, branch, or an affiliate partner for the 10th time that week, or to surface deep features buried in bank or insurance apps, like tracking Vehicle Identification Numbers when shopping for a used car or getting an instant insurance quote.
Smartphones are generating billions of unused signals that, when properly accessed, classified, and acted upon provide a compelling new opportunity to understand, anticipate, and serve customers needs across both virtual and physical properties, and in near real-time. This is new terrain for marketers and consumers alike, but those who navigate it successfully will gain a dramatically deeper level of engagement with favored brands who know how and when to ask, and are consistent in delivering value.
At Context360 we are experiencing a dramatic shift in customer focus on implementing efficient, cost-effective, and contextually appropriate Location and Motion Tracking + Engagement. Our Senselytics™ toolkit provides app developers and marketers with the ease of installation, sensor-triggered location and motion tracking, ability to set up unlimited GeoFences and to deploy them in scope from <10 meters to >500 meters with the click of a mouse, and IFTTT Rules and Engagement mechanisms to create a seamless proximity marketing experience for brands and users alike.

I've spent the last eight weeks in a heavy-duty sling after surgery to repair an old injury and getting freed from it a few days ago feels like I passed "Go" and received my "get out of jail free card." The surgery was a little more intense than I had imagined it would be and my two months in the penalty box started out a bit rough. To begin with, I did a really poor job of setting my expectations around how long it would take me to get back to functioning somewhat normally and when I failed miserably at that (for the record, I gave myself five days), my first two weeks found me fighting through some storm clouds. More than anything, the evil pain meds they give you after surgery put me in a foggy mental state and left me in no shape to bring my best to work even though at the time I believed I could. It took me a little while to figure out how off I was (it didn't help that I was one-armed and using dictation software).
After about a week I started weaning myself off the meds and by the week after that the cloud had lifted. I settled into a routine that didn't vary much until a few days ago. I sat at my desk in my home office and did as much work as I could handle. Despite what I had hoped for, voice-to-text for more than short messages (while pretty incredible when you think about it) still has a lot of ground to cover to become ubiquitous and no matter how many hours I sat talking to my computer, it felt like I was falling further and further behind. I knew that sleep would also be difficult as I've had shoulder surgery before and had experienced how much sleeplessness accompanies it. Knowing it and dealing with it are two different states of mind though, and no matter what, having 2-3 hours being the longest stretch of sleep I could put together for a couple of months took its toll.
Two bright spots during this stretch made the ordeal a little easier to handle. First, being around Pam and the kids for two straight months without being allowed to get on a plane was a real treat. Family card games made a big comeback at the kitchen table (euchre and hearts and they didn't make me shuffle once) and the kids indulged (and even began enjoying) some of dad's Spotify playlists (with a strong dose of the 60's and 70's). The other source of inspiration for me was our dogs Ruby and Maggie. Ruby's our 10 month-old puppy (yellow, golden & poodle mix) and Maggie's our 14 1/2 year-old yellow lab. Being home all the time, I found out just what a busy life my wife leads as some days it was the three of us, but Ruby enjoys bopping around town in Pam's passenger seat so most days it was just Maggie and I. Anyone that knows me well knows that I enjoy a very special relationship with her. For years she was my companion as we explored the hundreds of miles of trails out our back door together and it's been a little tough for me seeing her slow down so much over the last year. The best Maggie can muster these days is a walk around our neighborhood for about 15-20 minutes.
I've begun to cherish our strolls together more than ever these last few months. Whenever I needed a break, I'd find her (napping at my feet mostly) and she'd build up a head of steam going down the ramp we'd built for her and off we'd go. She can't hear anymore and only two legs work well, but she lights up and her tail wags like she's a pup when we get outside. I've been walking Maggie around the neighborhood since she had to give up the trails last year, but since my surgery, I've noticed myself being more patient than ever with her as I just wasn't in any particular rush anymore. What a sight we've been. The guy in the sling trying to pick up poop with one hand and his nonagenarian dog (I looked it up here – 14 1/2 year-old 70lb dog = 90 human years). My daily strolls with Mags have provided me with a lot of quiet time and for some reason lately I've been thinking a lot about the notion of grace. It began as the word kept reverberating around my brain as I watched Maggie during our walks. Her back right leg gives out pretty regularly now and she falls once in a while, but she always lifts herself up and manages to keep going, tail wagging. I've been saying to myself that I hope I can accept aging with as much courage and grace as she is.
For some reason though, I can't seem to get the word out of my head lately. Perhaps it's the mounting evidence when we watch this election cycle how our country's losing its grip of the concept these days. Grace once again made an appearance in my head on our walk tonight so when I came inside, I decided to look it up. Turns out there are a handful of definitions, but in Western Christian theology, grace is defined as "the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it." Despite not considering myself religious, this is nevertheless my favorite definition. I think it's because I understand that's exactly what Maggie has been giving me all these years; she's given me love not because I've earned it, but because she wants me to have it.
Excellent piece… thanks for sharing it.

Rodrigo Gutiérrez Girón (m. 1193) fue un magnate palentino que desempeñó un papel clave en la historia medieval de la península ibérica y el primero en llevar el apellido Girón. Propietario de extensos territorios más numerosas tenencias cedidas para su gobierno y administración por parte de los monarcas, Rodrigo y su parentela formaron unos de los linajes que más poder ostentó en Tierra de Campos desde los Banu Gómez.

Vida

Mayordomo mayor del rey Alfonso VIII de Castilla entre 1173 y principios de 1196 salvo pequeños intervalos, él y sus descendientes formaron una de las familias más poderosas de la Castilla medieval que desempeñó un papel de máxima relevancia en la unificación definitiva de las coronas de Castilla y León. Participó en varias batallas importantes de la conquista cristiana del sur de la península ibérica.

Ejerció las tenencias de Gatón, Monzón, Torremormojón, Montealegre la mitad de Carrión y Liébana,  todas, salvo la última, en Tierra de Campos. También pudo haber recibido Pedraza de Campos en 1162. En 1179 el rey Alfonso VIII le concedió el lugar de Borox y licencia para construir unos baños y hornos en Toledo así como molinos en una presa del río Tajo.

En 1189 era tenente del Castillo de Higares en Mocejón y sus tierras, que habría entregado en testamento realizado el mismo año al obispo de Toledo y al cabildo de la catedral. En 1191, Rodrigo y su segunda mujer, Jimena, donaron «por sus almas» a la Orden de Calatrava la mitad de las rentas y heredades que tenían en el castillo de Dueñas, dejando la otra mitad a los hijos del primer matrimonio, incluyendo también en esta donación, la mitad de otras heredades en Borox, Mocejón, y la mitad de un horno y un molino en Toledo.

Falleció en 1193 y recibió sepultura en la Catedral de Palencia.

Ascendencia
El origen del linaje Girón ha sido objeto de debate entre los historiadores y genealogistas. El primero que escribió una obra completa sobre esta familia fue Jerónimo Gudiel por encargo de Pedro Téllez-Girón y de la Cueva, I duque de Osuna, publicada en 1577. Según el hagiógrafo del referido duque, los Girón provenían de la localidad de Cisneros y de un conde llamado Rodrigo González de Cisneros miembro de la casa de Lara, siguiendo la genealogía propuesta anteriormente por el conde de Barcelos. Luis de Salazar y Castro en su obra sobre la casa de Lara también erró al considerar al conde Gonzalo Peláez, poderoso magnate asturiano, como cabeza del linaje.

Historiadores modernos como Carlos Estepa Díez, Andrés Barón Faraldo y Pascual Martínez Sopena, analizando la documentación medieval, han podido aclarar los orígenes de este importante linaje que coinciden en situar en Tierra de Campos y posiblemente como descendientes de los Banu Mirel. Según estas investigaciones, Rodrigo Gutiérrez Girón fue hijo de Gutierre Téllez y de Urraca Díaz. Su abuelo paterno fue Tello Fernández, noble saldañés que figura como tenente de Torremormojón en 1116 y más tarde, en 1127, como tenente en Campos, y que comandaba el castillo de Aceca donde falleció en 1133 cuando este cayó y fue destruido por los almorávides.
Rodrigo tuvo cuatro hermanos: Álvaro, Pedro Gutiérrez, esposo de María Bueso, Gonzalo, y Mayor, esposa de Alfonso Téllez, llamado de Montealegre, hijo de Tello Téllez y de Mayor Suárez.  Su hermano Pedro, quien figura en 1169 en el Monasterio de San Isidro de Dueñas como hermano de Rodrigo Gutiérrez, fue señor de la mitad de Ocaña y, junto con su pariente Tello Pérez de Meneses y sus respectivas esposas dotaron y fundaron en 1182 el Hospital de Cautivos y peregrinos en Cuenca que dos años después entregaron a la Orden de Santiago.

Matrimonios y descendencia

Contrajo un primer matrimonio con María de Guzmán, hija de Rodrigo Muñoz de Guzmán y de Mayor Díaz. De este matrimonio nacieron ocho hijos según consta en una venta que estos hicieron en 1194, una vez fallecido su padre, a la Orden de Calatrava de la parte que les correspondía en el castillo de Dueñas. En esta donación también aparece un sobrino de los hermanos, Rodrigo, hijo del primogénito. Estos hijos fueron:
 Gonzalo Rodríguez Girón, mayordomo mayor de los reyes Alfonso VII y Fernando III, y señor de Frechilla y de Autillo de Campos.
 Gutierre Rodríguez Girón, canciller real desde el 7 de noviembre de 1182 hasta el 22 de agosto de 1192, confirmando documentación en esas fechas como Guterrio Roderici existente cancellario scripsit y obispo de Segovia entre 1194 y 1195, año en que falleció en la batalla de Alarcos.
 Álvaro Rodríguez Girón, quien en 1218 aparece en la documentación del Monasterio de Aguilar de Campoo vendiendo su heredad en el alfoz de Aguilar y en Quintanilla de Verezoza.
 Pedro Rodríguez Girón. Casó con Sancha Pérez de Lumiares, hija de Pedro Alfonso Viegas de Ribadouro, tenente de Neiva (1187) y de Trancoso (1184), y de Urraca Alfonso de Portugal, señora de Aveiro e hija ilegítima del rey Alfonso Enríquez. Fue tenente de la mitad de Aveiro y tuvo importante descendencia.
 Nuño Rodríguez Girón.
 Rodrigo Rodríguez Girón, canciller real y tenente de Madrid.
 Teresa Rodríguez Girón, que casó con Ponce Vela de Cabrera, alférez del rey Fernando II de León, y abuela de Fernán Pérez Ponce de León.
 Elvira Rodríguez Girón (fallecida c. 1211), primera mujer de Alfonso Téllez de Meneses, segundo señor de Meneses y primero de Alburquerque. Fueron los abuelos de Mayor Alfonso de Meneses casada con el infante Alfonso de Molina y padres de la reina María de Molina.

Rodrigo Gutiérrez Girón se casó en segundas nupcias con Jimena Osorio, hija de conde Osorio Martínez y de la condesa Teresa Fernández de Villalobos, de quien no tuvo descendencia. Ambos figuran en la donación a la Orden de Calatrava el 22 de noviembre de 1191.

Las armas de los Girones
Según cuenta la leyenda, hubo un individuo llamado Rodrigo González de Cisneros que salvó la vida del rey Alfonso VI de León en una batalla contra los moros, entregando su caballo para que el rey pudiese escapar. Para que el rey no olvidase su servicio, antes de separarse cortó tres girones, o pedazos  de la cota de armas del monarca.  Más adelante, se presentó ante el rey con estos fragmentos, suplicando permiso para poder llevar los girones por sus armas.

La leyenda no tiene fundamento ya que ni los historiadores antiguos o la tradición popular mencionan esta hazaña. El uso de pintar armas familiares en los escudos era desconocida en tiempos de Alfonso VI y no fue hasta un siglo más tarde que empezó la costumbre de usar blasones.
