Angiomyolipoma (AML) consists of <10% of all renal tumors and is the most common benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the kidney. It arises from the renal cortex and extends toward perirenal fat. Fat-poor AML as well as those arising from rare locations may pose diagnostic difficulties. In our case, we report a rare presentation of this tumor arising from the renal sinus extending toward the pelvis thereby leading to an alternative diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis.

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most common benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the kidney.[1] It is composed of varying amounts of poorly organized blood vessels, smooth muscles, and varying amount of fat.[2] These tumors classically arise from the cortex and extend outward into perirenal fat. It is extremely rare occurrence for this tumor to arise from renal sinus and cause compression on the renal pelvis. Classical AML is easily diagnosed on cross-sectional imaging; however, fat-poor variant cannot yet be definitively diagnosed and differentiated from renal cell carcinoma (RCC).[2] In our present case, renal sinus AML presented with hematuria and underwent radical nephroureterectomy as it could not be differentiated from transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) on imaging. After a thorough review, there are only 16 reported cases of renal sinus AML, this being the first case from India to best of our knowledge.
A 28-year-old female presented with dull aching pain in her right flank for one and a half months along with two episodes of gross hematuria with the passage of worm-like clots. There was no history of dysuria, fatigue, fever, or decreased urinary output. The patient did not suffer from any chronic medical ailment or bleeding disorders. There is no history of tobacco consumption in any form. Physical examination revealed no significant abnormality. Routine laboratory investigations were within normal limits. Urinalysis revealed red blood cell 100–200/HPF, pus cells 2–3/HPF, negative for nitrites, and leukocyte esterase. Urine cytology for malignant cells was negative. Ultrasonography suggested a focal hypoechoic lesion 25 mm × 20 mm in mid pole of the right kidney extending into renal pelvis. The color flow was seen in the lesion. Internal echos were present in pelvicalyceal system and upper ureter. Computed tomography (CT) urography reported an ill-defined hyperdense lesion, 23 mm × 18 mm × 23 mm, in right renal pelvis showing heterogeneous enhancement on postcontrast scans (Hounsfield unit [HU] ~80) with associated moderate dilatation of the right pelvicalyceal system suggestive of TCC or vascular malformation [Figure 1], [Figure 2], [Figure 3]. With a suspicion of TCC, the right nephroureterectomy was performed. Biopsy report was grossly suggestive of well-circumscribed submucosal renal pelvic mass 2.5 cm × 2cm × 1.5 cm. On microscopy, sections of mass showed a tumor predominantly composed of mature adipose tissue, scattered blood vessels, and proliferated lymphoplasmacytic cells. It also showed spindle cells which on immunohistochemistry stained negative for desmin, H-Caldesmon and Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) but took red stain with Masson trichrome stain suggestive of smooth muscle cells.{Figure 1}{Figure 2}{Figure 3}
AML is the most common benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the kidney. It is composed of varying amounts of poorly organized blood vessels, smooth muscles, and varying amount of fat.[2] These constitute of <10% of all renal tumors. Although initially considered a form of hamartoma, they are now considered to belong to a family of neoplasms called perivascular epithelioid cell tumors ("PEComas").[2]
Most AML occurs sporadically with 20%–30% cases associated with tuberous sclerosis. Two AML most commonly present in middle-aged females as flank pain and hematuria. They are also the most common neoplasms associated with spontaneous hemorrhage, the risk of which increase as the size of tumor increases.[2]
These tumors usually arise in the renal cortex and expand into the perirenal fat. It is extremely rare for this tumor to arise from the renal sinus and cause compression of the renal pelvis. Classical AML is easily diagnosed on cross-sectional imaging; however, fat-poor variant cannot yet be definitively diagnosed and differentiated from RCC. On noncontrast CT, AML appears as well-circumscribed mass showing areas of hypo attenuation (−20 HU) which is typical of these tumors. However, fat poor AML, occurring in 5% cases, differentiation from other solid masses is less likely.[2] In our case, imaging characteristics were not typical of AML and along with its rare location, the possibility of TCC could not be ruled out.
Tumors of the renal sinus consist of lipomas, leiomyomas, AMLs, etc., and the manifestations are nonspecific. Patients may present with flank pain and gross hematuria specially when the size exceeds 4 cm.[3] Symptomatic tumors mandate resection; however, renal preservation should be considered as far as possible considering the benign nature of the disease.[3] In these centrally located tumors, near the renal hilum nephron-sparing surgeries are technically more demanding with increased incidence of longer ischemia times, collecting system violation, and overall complications.[4] In our case, the pain might have been caused due to compression of the pelvicalyceal system causing its dilatation. In the present study, the patient underwent radical nephroureterectomy with suspicion of TCC of the renal pelvis.
To best of our knowledge, only 16 cases of AML originating from renal sinus have been previously reported and in most of the reports, these underwent a radical surgery due to uncertainty of the nature of the lesion.[3],[5]
In conclusion, AML presenting as renal pelvic masses are extremely rare with only a few cases been reported till date. They are most often misdiagnosed as renal pelvic TCC. The prognosis of sporadic AML is good. With more advanced CT and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging protocols orientation and qualitative diagnosis of these tumors are expected to improve. Preserving the kidney during surgery as far as possible is key for the treatment of patients with such tumors. However, rarity of the tumor, along with difficulty in diagnosing based on the current imaging studies, makes nephron-sparing surgery relatively under-utilized.

2023 Key Election Updates
The majority of election results in the United States have finally been called and we have a better sense of what that means for HIV-related policies, funding and issues of importance to Academy members.
U.S. House: Republicans won a slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives (currently 220 Republican seats to 213 Democratic seats), and the vote to determine whether Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) will assume the speakership will be held on January 3, 2023. Already, there is political posturing to determine which faction of the Republican party will control the direction of the House. The role of Speaker of the House is to preserve a unified party for policy gains, but in this instance, will influence the degree to which bipartisan work can occur.
House Republicans have already identified prioritizing investigations into the Biden administration, Dr. Fauci over pandemic response, and others, and will likely block discretionary (health care) funding that isn't paired with added cuts and/or more defense spending. We are hopeful that appropriators will stay out of the political fray and find areas of compromise, a necessity for reaching an end to the HIV epidemic.
On the Democratic side, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-12) announced that she would not seek a leadership position, making way for the next generation of leaders. The role of Minority Leader will now go to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), who was elected today and will assume the post in January. Rep. Jeffries is the first Black lawmaker to be a leader in either chamber. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD-05) also announced that he would step down. Rep. Katherine Clarke (MA-05) is expected to take over the number two leadership spot within the Democratic caucus.
U.S. Senate: Democrats hung onto the majority in the Senate with a Georgia runoff election happening in early December. If Democrats win that seat as well, it will mean they have a slight buffer to weather losing moderate Democrats on certain issues, as we saw over the past year with infrastructure and social safety net programs. A Democrat-controlled Senate will likely support opposing policy priorities compared to the Republican-controlled House, but a split Congress also means few of the Biden Administration's priorities will move forward.
However, one area in which the Senate has purview, but the House does not, is judicial nominations. The party that controls the Senate usually impacts the types of federal judges who get appointed to the bench, an important factor in whether civil rights are expanded or contracted as we've seen with voting rights and reproductive rights. Democrats' majority will likely mean a more diverse judicial pool.
There were 36 gubernatorial elections on the ballot. Each party won 18 seats – Republicans losing two seats and Democrats picking up two seats. In state legislatures, there were a number of surprises, including chambers that flipped party control. However, due to gerrymandering and other factors, Republicans still control the vast majority of legislative chambers across the country. Going into the election, it was 61 to 37 Republican control, and after the midterm elections, it is now 57 to 40 (the Alaska statehouse is split).
Academy members likely care about who controls the legislature, as it generally determines the types of bills that can be passed either to protect vulnerable populations, limit the reach of pharmacy benefit management companies and/or insurers, broaden access to testing and treatment, and expand Medicaid eligibility (or not). Readers can learn more about the impact of legislative control and which states have changed over time here.
Ballot Initiatives
There were a number of consequential ballot initiatives, including ones on voting rights and abortion access.
Six states had ballot initiatives on voting access and election rules, with some expanding early voting and others attempting to make voting more difficult through certain eligibility standards. The full outcome of these initiatives can be viewed here.
Five states had ballot initiatives related to abortion access, some attempting to enshrine the right to reproductive health care, while others intended to go in the opposite direction. All were successful in either preserving access to abortion or beating back efforts to further restrict access, but full results can be viewed here.
While most of these ballot initiatives would've dictated patient access, some would also determine whether a provider is criminally liable for providing certain types of patient care.
South Dakota voters voted 56% to 44% to expand Medicaid eligibility, becoming the 39th state to do so.

Muslim students from Al Siraat College spoke at the Victorian Parliament House on Friday 31 August 2018 on the theme "My Vote My Voice: Diversity in Community Organisations.
The annual event is organised by the National Council of Women of Victoria (NCWV) and in 2018 it was designed to encourage students to investigate the level of diversity (gender, ethnicity, age, disability), in community workplaces by visiting and conducting interviews.
The focus of research is on diversity of leadership, decision-making and/or composition and then to make three-minute presentations in the Legislative Council Chamber to an audience of students, community members and a panel of eminent women.
A select number of students from twelve reputable schools from across Victoria attended the event including students from Al Siraat College: Fatima Mohamed (Year 12), Hafsa Sarwar (Year 11), Aisha Arain (Year 10), Sondos Mahmandar (Year 10), Melike Cokmez (Year 10) and Nur Naziihah Hafidi (Year 8).
The student speeches included reflections on Prophet Mohammad's (s) wife, Khadijah (r) as an investor, entrepreneur and a respected leader of her community.
The students also shared the Islamic perspective that both men and women are equal in the eyes of Allah except in piety and righteousness. One student explained that Al Siraat College was part founded by the former principal Ms Rahat Arain, a Muslim woman who wears a face veil, a respected leader in our community.
During their research the students were able to interview City of Whittlesea's Mayor Kris Pavlidis who has supported the students in understanding the current gender pay gap in Australia and the lack of equality for women in leadership positions and on corporate boards.
The Al Siraat College students finished with the message that the underlying cause of gender inequality is lack of respect for the contributions of women, whether they choose to take up a role in leadership or take on a nurturing role.
The speeches by the students received thunderous applause across the Legislative Chamber of the Parliament House.
Penny Scott, a Wurundjeri woman and advisor to the Victorian Public Sector Commission gave a passionate speech about achieving substantive and inclusive equality for women, people with disabilities, and Aboriginal people.
The panel at this event included Hon Samantha Dun MLC, Mayor of Maribyrnong Cr Cruc Lam and former Mayor of Greater Geelong Council Barbara Abley. Each panelist offered the students practical advice and feedback about the presentations and encouraged the students to share their stories and personal experiences in their presentations and use humour to engage with the audience, especially when discussing the more difficult topics.
Students from each of the schools were able to network at the end of the event to discuss opportunities to collectively demand better outcomes for their communities.

The final speech was made by NCWV Youth Adviser Diya John, who only a few years ago was a student presenter herself at this very event. Photos have been supplied by Rod Hammond.
My Vote My Voice 2018 had the support of the President of the Legislative Council, and the Education and Community Engagement Unit, Parliament of Victoria; Australian Local Government Women's Association (Victoria); the League of Women Voters Bessie Rischbieth Trust and the Victorian Electoral Commission.


This weeks blog is from Meghan...I love hearing her heart!!!
I have had the pleasure of being on this adventure of Love n' Life since the very beginning. From the time when my mom shared the vision with me (and me thinking she was absolutely crazy) to being able to see the fruits of it now. There was a vision set in my mom's spirit and it has been such an honor to be alongside her and the rest of the employees here at Love n' Life to see how God worked and still works in our sweet work place. Even as that vision plays out today, I can see our employees loving life and our customers being able to sense the spirit of God each and every day. The days were long and full of work and so much potential for growth in the store; and growth in the spiritual walks as well. I was so firm in the standpoint of being able to be there while Love n' Life grew drastically.
In August of 2017, I left Love n' Life to embark on the new journey of college. I'd have to say, even after coming back from college every month, I can still sense the growth of community relationships and the growth of our sweet little business as a whole.Coming to Love n' Life always reminds me just how important it is to really love life in whatever season you have been called. I know that I have been called to pursue a degree at Regent University; but there are days when I miss home and family, the peace of being at home, and just being at Love n' Life. The vision of my mom choosing to open at craft store and name it Love n' Life was actually preparing me for the call of God to move away and pursue my degree. And on some days when I just feel like giving up, I am often reminded of the importance of loving the life to which we have been called.
Coming from me, Love n' Life craft store has always been my safe place…now more than ever. The sense of welcome and love overflows and always makes it easy to come back. That same sense of welcome makes it so easy for me to look forward to spending my time there with the employees, just looking around (because I am not a crafter) and seeing the huge amount of growth that has occurred over the past several months of being away.
If there is one thing you get from reading this blog, I want you to remember that Love n' Life was my gateway to loving life no matter where I was, or what season of life I was in. It was easy working at Love n' Life because it is my happy place, but the biggest thing God taught me through that time was that He is planning something amazing and we need to love the season we are in now. The season may be no fun at all and it may be difficult, but he is going to make it so that there is joy in the storm. I know that me being a part of Love n' Life prepared me for the places he was going to send me and the things he knew I was going to do.
Coming to Love n' Life is so easy for me and it could be for you too! All it takes is a stop to see what God is doing through your local craft store.


Economic Realities – Who Is My Employee?
Well ho ho ho then. The Christmas season means lots of extra work for lots of other people, including real life police officers. A recent case in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals addressed whether police officers taking second jobs are independent contractors or employees.
The test for Independent Contractor vs. Employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is well-established. It's the Economic Realities Test, a multi-factor test that seeks to determine whether, as a matter of economic reality, the worker is reliant on the hiring party to earn a living.
But in Acosta v. Off Duty Police Services, the Court of Appeals questioned whether the usual formula should still apply in the modern gig economy, when lots of people take second jobs.
Pain, Humiliation & Self-Pity: How Does the Definition of "Employ" Relate to Independent Contractor Misclassification?
According to the New World Encyclopedia, examples of "suffering" include pain, illness, disability, hunger, poverty, grief, hatred, frustration, heartbreak, guilt, humiliation, anxiety, loneliness, self-pity, and death.
According to federal wage and hour law, "suffer" means employment.
One of the many problems with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) — the federal law that sets minimum wage and overtime standards — is that it's archaic, outdated, old. It was passed in 1938. Before Hitler invaded Poland. Before the first Captain America comic book. Even before the invention of the Slinky.
The language used in the FLSA reflects a different era. In the definitions section of the Act, "employ" includes "to suffer or permit to work." What exactly does that mean? At the time it was written, what did Congress intend for it to mean? And what does it mean now, in the modern economy, especially when trying to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor?
According to the FLSA regulations, if "the employer knows or has reason to believe that [the individual] is continuing to work," then the time is working time. It's employment. Even work that is "not requested" is work time if the employer permitted the work to be done.
When asking the question, Who Is My Employee?, this broad definition presents a challenge. As the Supreme Court has recognized, this definition is broader than the ordinary "common law" definition of employment, which looks at the extent of control the employer exercises (or has the right to exercise) over the worker. That's the Right to Control Test, which is discussed in more detail here.
Because the definition of "employ" is different under the FLSA than under most other employment laws, the test for determining Who Is My Employee? is different too.
The FLSA uses an Economic Realities Test to determine whether a worker is an employee (as compared to an independent contractor).
The Economic Realities Test is expressed slightly differently by different federal courts but, in general, the test asks whether the worker is economically reliant on the potential employer to earn a living. If economically reliant, the worker is likely an employee. If the worker has other sources of income or is business for himself/herself, the worker is more likely an independent contractor, not an employee.
The Economic Realities Test is described in more detail here.
So that's how the federal courts interpret the "suffer or permit to work" language in the FLSA. But to keep things interesting, California's wage and hour laws use the same "suffer or permit" language in its state law definition of "employ," but California interprets that phrase differently and imposes a different test. Same standard, different test.
As we will discuss in Thursday's post, California's alternative interpretation of that same phrase can lead to very different results when evaluating whether someone is an employee or independent contractor.
It's California's definition — more than the federal definition — that is more likely to cause pain, illness, disability, hunger, poverty, grief, hatred, frustration, heartbreak, guilt, humiliation, anxiety, loneliness, or self-pity. To the Golden State's credit, though, probably not death. Good job, California.
In June 2017, the DOL withdrew its Obama-era 2015 and 2016 informal guidance on joint employment and independent contractors. The memos covered federal wage and hour law (FLSA). Eight months later, what effect has that decision made?
Remember, the 2015 and 2016 memos did not change the law on independent contractor misclassification or joint employment. Rather, the memos were an attempt by the Wage & Hour Administrator, David Weil, to summarize existing law – but with a pro-employee leaning. The memos selectively interpreted court decisions that supported Weil's view of the world, i.e., that most workers are employees. When Weil left, the DOL said goodbye to his interpretations as well.
Map Shows Joint Employment Tests Are a Mess!
The tests for determining whether a business is a joint employer vary, depending on which law applies. That means there are different tests under federal labor law, wage and hour law, and employee benefits law, to name a few. There are also different tests under different states' laws.
Further complicating the analysis, there are even different tests when applying the same law — depending on where you live.
Yes, you read that right. Even though the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal wage and hour law that applies across the country, federal courts in different states use different methods for determining whether a business is a joint employer under that single law.
Boom? Is the California Supreme Court About to Blow Up the Test for Independent Contractor Relationships?
Independent contractor relationships that have stood the test of time may be in jeopardy. And I don't mean the (mildly?) entertaining Alex Trebek kind of Jeopardy. We're talking real economic upheaval and uncertainty — worse than Schwarzenegger taking over Celebrity Apprentice.

If you've recently sustained an injury that left you unable to work, you may have to apply for Social Security disability. Before you do, it's best to brush up on some of the ways you can unintentionally set yourself up for a rejection. The fact is, many applicants receive a denial for one reason or another. Knowing where and how they went wrong can go a long way in saving you time and frustration while better ensuring you get the financial help you need and deserve.
One of the biggest aspects of applying for Social Security disability is successfully proving you are disabled and cannot work in your current condition. To that end, you need to submit adequate information. In addition to noting your physical injuries, you also need to make it clear what, if any, mental stress has stemmed from your injury and inability to work. Do not think a Social Security representative will be able to make assumptions or connect the dots. In fact, it is often better to submit more information and details than you think you need.
Noting your current cellphone or home phone number, physical address, and email address seem basic enough. That said, failing to update the Social Security Administration when you change addresses or numbers can see your disability application denied. Besides your own contact information, you also need to make sure the Administration has the most current number and address of any doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and the like you include on your application. If you aren't sure of something, don't make a guess on your application. A simple oversight can cost you.
Something else that can result in denied social security disability is taking on a "send it and forget it" mentality. What this means is that once you submit your application, it's essential that you track it. It can take a while before you receive any kind of response. In the meantime, you want to read over your submission to see if there's anything that needs to be changed or added, such as the contact information touched on above. If you have to attend hearings, don't miss them. Show the Administration you're proactive and doing everything you can on your end to help them out.
On a related note, don't leave the submission of your medical records up to the healthcare professionals. You need to do your part by noting the medical professionals who treated you, where you went for your treatment, what tests you received, and what medication you take or physical therapy you receive. This wealth of information shows how your condition has progressed since you became injured and how severe your injury currently is.
Say you were working in a well-paying position before you were injured and became disabled. If that position paid a bit too well, above what the Administration calls "Substantial Gainful Activity," you may be denied disability. While you can work while collecting disability, you cannot work in a position that's above the current SGA limit. Bear in mind that this limit changes on an annual basis, so do your research to see what the most current limit is. Even if you aren't above the SGA limit, the amount of your disability benefit can be reduced according to how close you are to that limit.
If you break your arm or leg at work and are expected to make a full recovery in a few months, there's no need to apply for SSD. The only time you want to apply for disability is when it's expected that your disability will last either 12 months or will prove fatal. Should your injury result in blindness, that's a different story.
Besides the injury itself, you also have to consider the physical limitations the injury places on you and your ability to work. While you may be disabled, the impairment may not be serious enough to successfully qualify for disability benefits approval.
Before submitting your SSD application, consider working with an SSD lawyer to help you with your application. A single consultation can give you a better idea of your chances of success and tips on what you need to do for your application to be approved. There's no need to wait for complications before you start planning for them.


Stephen Murphy, co-Founder & CEO of genesis: Highlights of "Rapid solutions based on the microservices architecture" demonstration at FinJS.
Stephen Murphy, co-Founder & CEO of genesis, presented at FinJS on 19th March in New York. He built a web application with NO coding in under five minutes to illustrate the accelerated solution delivery that is possible with the genesis' microservices framework and tools.
Stephen began by telling the audience about genesis, providing a brief background, before moving onto demonstrating a web application being built without any coding.
genesis was founded six years ago, in 2013, by Stephen and his co-founder James Harrison. Stephen explained that four years of initial research & development (R&D) had gone into building a microservices framework before going to market three years ago, designed specifically for the world of capital markets. The framework abstracts away complexity and enables solutions to be built much faster, often in a matter of days or in today's case in under five minutes! The framework is a complete UI and integration framework, for developing desktop apps and also web, OpenFin and excel apps.
Stephen explained that genesis has invested heavily in development tools around the framework to enable solutions to be built even faster and that he would be demonstrating Creative Studio. genesis can build and deploy their own suite of products and solutions as web applications and desktop applications directly onto OpenFin's OS, using their proprietary Creative Studio tool.
Stephen then demonstrated building the web UI for AQS in just a few minutes!
Look out for genesis at the next finJS event in London on 21st, May.


The value exchange between consumers and businesses is one of the fundamentals of modern marketing. However, the marketplace has generally treated the practice of gathering and analyzing big data as a trade secret, creating an environment of standoffishness with everyday consumers. While companies have a responsibility to educate consumers on the fundamentals of their data collection practices, do consumers likewise need to be more aware of how companies use their personal data and hold accountable businesses that don't deliver a benefit in return? Would an open dialogue about the data exchange increase engagement between businesses and shoppers, and create a more mutually beneficial environment where companies sell more and consumers are happier with their purchases?

I am excited to take part in Oldways' celebration of National Mediterranean Diet month! I love the flavors and simplicity of the food of the Mediterranean. The well documented heart-health benefits make it that much more lovable. And the benefits continue to mount. Recent research links a Mediterranean way of eating with not only a lower incidence of heart disease but also cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
Have you heard of Espinacas con Garbanzos? As the name alludes, this recipe has roots in Spain (Moorish, in fact). Like the traditional recipes of the Mediterranean, this is a simple dish. In the old days, it would have been called "peasant food" since it's based on seasonally available produce and contains no meat. Today this translates to a delicious and healthy dish that also happens to be vegan, high in fiber and potassium and incredibly satisfying. Give it a try and let me know what you love about it.
This is a forgiving recipe so feel free to play with it a bit. Cook your own chickpeas or choose the lowest sodium canned chickpeas you can find and rinse them well. I used smoked paprika because it adds tremendous depth of flavor and color. Truth be told, I am a little head over heels for smoked paprika these days but if you don't have it in your pantry, add a little more cumin to the dish.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the garlic, cumin and paprika. Cook 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add chickpeas and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts. Add salt and pepper to taste.


Zone meetings open to all members of the crew. Intimate hotel on the border of show jumping and expansion works, reminiscent of some simple stable. Let's not fool you, in the middle until it buzzes from the everyday, equestrian themes. The Rider's Club quench your thirst, you eat a light lunch and a period of relaxation from the bustle of the competition, while keeping an excellent view of what is happening on stage.
Be a date with a web tab Riders'a- then you will not miss any attraction, or Party during Equestrian Silesia.


With crowding around the chopping-block Midgard is slaughtered.
deprived of all of their Rights, Honour, Truth and Life.
Never trust any opinions to be valid in the War of all Wars.
Will grows in the towns which here have understood Realities.
Aim now our foe towards the grave and write down boundary-lines.
ALL VALUE IS IN OUR LIVES.
VIET HAS THE RIGHTS FIRST AND FINAL.
THE PEOPLE OWN THEIR MIGHT IN THEIR COUNTRIES.
THE TRUTH IS UNDOUBTEDLY ALL FUTURE AND LAW.

La prophétie de Syméon est une annonce prophétique faite par Syméon à Marie, lors de la présentation de Jésus au Temple de Jérusalem, telle que rapportée dans le texte biblique de l'Évangile selon Luc.

Texte
Passage de l'Évangile selon Luc, un des quatre évangiles canoniques inclus dans le Nouveau Testament, dans la Bible :

Contexte
Selon l'Évangile de Luc, Syméon est un  qui avait reçu de l'Esprit Saint l'assurance qu'il verrait le Christ avant de mourir. Au moment où Marie et Joseph, les parents de Jésus, amènent leur nouveau-né au temple de Jérusalem pour le rite de la présentation conformément à la loi juive, Syméon s'y rend également, poussé par l'Esprit Saint.

Syméon prend alors dans ses bras l'Enfant Jésus qu'il reconnait comme étant le sauveur attendu et dit une courte prière d'action de grâce connue comme le cantique de Syméon. Il adresse ensuite à Marie une prophétie dont la première partie concerne Jésus, et la deuxième partie Marie elle-même.

Dans la tradition chrétienne
Dans la tradition chrétienne, la prophétie de Syméon est l'annonce de la grande souffrance que Marie ressentira lorsque son fils subira la Passion et la Crucifixion. L'Évangile selon Jean est le seul des évangiles canoniques à mentionner la présence de Marie lors de la Passion, au pied de la Croix :

L'hymne mariale du Stabat Mater est très explicite sur la douleur ressentie par Marie lors de la Passion et de la Crucifixion et reprend les termes de la prophétie : .

L'encyclique Munificentissimus Deus reprend la prophétie de Siméon en proclamant le dogme de l'Assomption. Selon Jean-Paul II, la prophétie de Siméon est comme une  (encyclique Redemptoris Mater).

La prophétie de Syméon est la première des sept douleurs de Marie, sur lesquelles méditent les chrétiens lorsqu'ils prient Notre-Dame des Douleurs.

The Yellow Wallpaper Rhetorical Analysis Essay
In this passage, Charlotte Perkins Gilman highlights the theme that women must use their intellect or go mad through the use of literary qualities and writing styles. Gilman also uses the use of capital letters to portray the decline in the narrators' sanity. This shows the decline in the sanity of a person because the words in all-caps is shown as abrupt, loud remarks. Gilman uses this method multiple times in her short story and this method was used twice in this passage. When the narrator wrote, "LOOKING AT THE PAPER!", the major decline in her mental health was shown. Before this remark, the narrator only would put one to two words maximum in all capital letters. This remark has the total of four words which if a big jump from one…show more content…
For example, "just as a scientific hypothesis, -- that perhaps it is the paper!". Gilman uses this hesitation to emphasize the realization of the narrator when she comes to the conclusion that the yellow wallpaper is the factor why John and Jennie are going crazy. This has some irony because the narrator is fully convinced that John and Jennie is going crazy but, the narrator is the one that is actually going crazy. Another time when Gilman introduced hesitation was when the narrator was convinced that Jennie was going to mess with the wallpaper. The narrator said, "what she was doing with the paper—she turned around as if she had been caught stealing, and looked quite angry—asked me why I should frighten her so!". She added the hesitations and the actions of Jennie to add the tense mood in the room. This also enhances the actions of Jennie too. Another example of Gilman using hesitation to enhance her writing is, "Jennie wanted to sleep with me—the sly thing!". Gilman added this hesitation to directly characterize Jennie in the opinion of the narrator. The final example of Gilman using hesitation is, "But I am here, and no person touches this paper but me—not ALIVE!". Gilman added this hesitation to add meaning and emotion to the passage. The narrator adds "not ALIVE" to emphasize her meaning when she says that no one can touch the
Into The Wild Rhetorical Analysis
Family, friends, and possessions pressure individuals through the imposition of values that contribute to identity; we are told that we obtain our qualities simply by inheritance and association. The environment one chooses to surround themselves reflects similar learned behaviors and thought processes. Deviating from the norm is often contemptible, but natural, according to author Jon Krakauer. Realizing that he did not want to become a carbon copy of his parents and environment, Christopher McCandless wandered the American West for two years, as a nomad, to reject society as he knows it―his family, friends, and possessions. He burns his money, abandons his car, and cuts all ties with his family on an identity crisis that would lead to his death in the inhospitable Alaskan tundra. These actions, taken alone, allows critics to characterize him as bizarre, irrational, and even suicidal. Furthermore, this characterization dissociates him from his own humanity, as the consensus was that McCandless must have been out of his right mind. To combat this impression, Jon Krakauer wrote Into the Wild to humanize McCandless in order to justify McCandless's choices in spite of the fact that they lead to his death.
Rhetorical Analysis
In the essay, Mark Twain is saying that humans are the lowest of animals. Instead of evolving from lower species, human have descended from higher ones. "In order to determine the difference between an anaconda and an earl (if any) I caused seven young calves to be turned into the anaconda's cage. The grateful reptile immediately crushed one of them and swallowed it, then lay back satisfied. It showed no further interest in the calves, and no disposition to harm them… The fact stood proven that the difference between an earl and an anaconda is that the earl is cruel and the anaconda isn't…." (Twain 2). This is one example Twain uses to explain to the reader one of the reasons why he believes man is the lowest of animals. This example tells

The Help Rhetorical Analysis
Kathryn Stockett, the author of The Help uses imagery to help the reader better comprehend the meaning of the passage. As the reader reads along in the passage reading about little Miss Skeeter, "Munching on peanuts, sorting through the pieces spread out on the table, a storm [raging] outside (Stockett 77). Through this imagery that the author provides the reader is instantly transformed into the world of little Miss Skeeter as she is sitting down by Constantine on a dark stormy night doing a puzzle. The reader can hear the crunch of the peanuts and smell the rain coming from outside as they read the passage. Stockett also uses diction to contribute to the imagery of the passage. Words like "ebony" and "frizzy" give life to the characters

Literary Analysis Of The Yellow Wallpaper
Eventually, we realize that the woman in the wallpaper is the narrator. Throughout the story, the narrator 's mental state continues to deteriorate. Being both the narrator 's husband and physician, John assumes that he knows what's best for his wife. However, in this essay, I will argue that Gilman portrays John as an antagonist or "villain" in her story because, through his actions, he is the main reason for his wife 's descent into insanity which proves that he didn't know what was best for his wife after all.

Rhetorical Analysis: The Challenger
During the 1980s, space exploration was a popular topic to watch, listen to, and learn about in American life. NASA had already sent a lot of missions to space, all reaching new milestones and increasing interest in space exploration. The Challenger, however, had a different mission than the rest. It was going to carry the first teacher, Christa McAuliffe, into space where she would teach two lessons. There were six other men and women on board the Challenger. At this time, space exploration was at its peak and all of America was following the space program. Throughout the day, most of the televisions in the nation were tuned to the Challenger launch. One minute and twelve seconds into the launch, the space shuttle exploded. Such a traumatic

Of Guilds and Men: Copyright Workarounds in the Cinematographic Industry
Adriane Porcin
The motion picture industry utilizes a varied collection of more or less formal mechanisms for dealing with the collective nature of audiovisual works, ranging from collective bargaining to legal presumptions. What these instances of copyright workarounds have in common is that they are all about circumventing traditional notions of authorship (the right to be deemed the author of a work) and ownership (the right to exert control over a work). When considered from an international perspective, the cinematographic industry is fertile ground for an exploration of such mechanisms.
After a recitation of the Berne Convention, this paper will proceed to discuss countries where the Berne Convention has been applied to audiovisual works with drastically different results: France and the United States. From there it will retrace the history of the so-called Foreign Levies Agreement. This agreement illustrates the collision of the French and American copyright workarounds. It was born from, inter alia, a dispute between the Directors' Guild of America ("DGA"), the Writers' Guild of America ("WGA") and several movie producers upon the collection and distribution of foreign levies to American authors. This study will then discuss the contractual agreements between collective management organizations and guilds, and delineate underlying issues of collective action in this context.

A series of "Nudescapes" I worked on for about a year in a collage manner fusing both the digital and the analog approaches. Although really involved in this particular creative process, I always had behind my mind to do this in a bigger scale but failed to, simply because I couldn't stop exhausting the possibilities of what this "collage and drawing approach" could offer. I created artworks onwards but opted to do bigger oils on canvas until the year 2007. What I overlooked to do is still at the back of my mind up to the present time. Who knows, maybe one day I can still unload this particular expression in a bigger scale which I have always imagined to be a fun thing to do. The "Nudescape" series collection is still with me. I have had no interest in having any solo exhibition nor participate in any art exhibition and, I guess, this is still true 'til the present time. At present, I am still enjoying the creative process and have been selling a few works enough to keep me and my family going, expressing my brand of art in its minimum. My special thanks to FAA and the internet for making it possible for me to share my artworks in an efficient manner. Congratulations, FAA!

Rosselló Calls PDP Insistence on IVA 'Alienated'
By Ismael Torres on February 29, 2016
ShareTweetShareShareShareShare
SAN JUAN – Gubernatorial candidate for the New Progressive Party (NPP) Dr. Ricardo Rosselló reacted to Gov. Alejandro García Padilla's State of the Commonwealth address Monday by stating that "the governor has missed the opportunity to repent and admit the mistakes of his administration."
"He should have taken back his failed public policy. However, he continues lying to the people and with his stubbornness to continue raising taxes and squeezing the poor, hard-working and productive class of our island," the NPP leader said after the governor's message.
"Alejandro García Padilla said in 2014 that he had saved [the island's] fiscal matters. However, his government has Puerto Rico in bankruptcy. Undoubtedly, this administration of [García Padilla] and [Popular Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate David] Bernier has been the worst in our history," Rosselló said.
He argued that with their positions, "the PDP has inflicted profound damage to the economy. Now they want to insist on raising the IVA [Spanish acronym for value-added tax] to 15%."

British tourist claims she saw Berlin attacker Anis Amri in France
Anne Lomax claims she spotted Anis Amri in a famous French ski resort - two days before the 24-year-old was shot dead in Italy.
Saturday 24 December 2016 08:08, UK
Image: Anne Lomax believes she saw the Berlin attacker in France
A British woman has told Sky News she is convinced she saw the Berlin attacker in France, two days before he was shot dead in Italy.
Anne Lomax claims she spotted Anis Amri in Chamonix, a French resort close to the borders with Switzerland and Italy, on Wednesday.
The 50-year-old said she reported the sighting to French police, who interviewed her for four hours about what she saw.
Amri was shot dead after opening fire on police in Milan on Friday morning.
Italian police said the 24-year-old had been in Chambery in France before starting his train journey to the city.
Image: Amri had been on the run since Monday
Chamonix is around three hours from Chambery by train.
Ms Lomax, from west London, said she was making her way back to her hotel when she noticed a man walking behind her.

She said she started growing suspicious when she noticed he was walking "unusually" slowly and avoiding any eye contact.
Ms Lomax stopped on a bridge to let him pass, and it was then that she caught a glimpse of his face.
Image: Amri travelled by train across Europe after the attack
"He was light skinned, he had some sort of red mark on his face," she said.
"It was at the point of him passing me that I understood that he was walking slowly, not because he was stalking me or anything, but because he had an injury.
"I understood with the walking and the neck movements that there was some injury, either a back or neck injury as opposed to a leg injury."
Ms Lomax said she found it strange the man then shuffled off in the direction of some woodland near the river - an area she later realised was within walking distance of the area's train station.
She said it was only later, when she saw a picture of Amri on the news, that she became convinced she had seen him.
"His face was the first thing I saw when I switched the TV on," she said.
"And I thought 'Oh my God that's him'. And then I thought 'Surely not?'
Berlin attacker Anis Amri shot dead in Milan
"And then another picture came on of him with the cap and I really got his eyes; because I'd looked him right in the face and saw his eyes I was 100% sure it was him."
Ms Lomax said she spent some time checking pictures of Amri online and also researching the route from Berlin to France, before deciding to act on her suspicions and call police.
After unsuccessfully trying to get through to French police, Ms Lomax eventually decided to call anti-terror police in the UK.
They drew up a report based on Ms Lomax's account and passed it on to the French authorities.
Footage emerges from Berlin Christmas attack
French police came round to see her the next morning and she took the officers to the scene and reconstructed what happened.
Ms Lomax said she has not heard from police since, and remains adamant the man she saw was Amri.
"The more I see him, the more convinced I am that it was him," she said.

Q: How to detect scroll in a widget without using ListView or ScrollView? I want to detect scroll in a widget but I am not using anything like ListView or GridView. I tried using GestureDetector like this:
void _verticalDragStart(DragStartDetails details) {
    started = details.localPosition;
  }

void _verticalDragUpdate(DragUpdateDetails details) {
   final updatedPosition = details.localPosition;
    double difference = started.dy-updatedPosition.dy;
    //use difference in my code
  }

But for some reason its too rapid and gives very high values.
I tried using Scrollable widget but it doesn't update offset if Viewport builder isn't taking more space than available. What can I do?

A: I think you have to look at a widget called ScrollNotification.
hope it works!
