UK may start Brexit proceedings very soon
By Marie Singer Published Aug 21, 2016 at 11:33 AM GMT
Rumours are rife in the UK that the country may start EU divorce proceedings – Brexit – very soon. Much of the British and American media this weekend report on claims that Prime Minister Theresa May is gearing up to invoke Article 50 during the first quarter of next year.
Article 50 is a very basic 5-point plan should any nation wish to leave the EU. The moment an EU member state invokes Article 50, negotiations concerning the separation begin.
Some experts say the negotiations will take about two years to complete, while others predict at least five years.
Betting odds are all pointing to early 2017, when Theresa May will invoke Brexit Article 50, and start the UK-EU divorce proceedings.
The pound sterling, which never fares well when speculators fear Brexit is looming, fell by as much as 1% – its largest decline in two weeks, as unnamed officials claimed that the Prime Minister wants to invoke Article 50 before German and French elections next year.
Brexit proceedings in Q1 2017?
France holds its first round of presidential elections in April 2017, while German parliamentary elections are set to be held in September 2017.
A Bloomberg report cites officials in London saying that Mrs. May is under increasing pressure from several quarters to invoke Article 50 soon.
Given the better-than-expected economic statistics over the past couple of weeks, many economists are starting to wonder whether the economic effects of Brexit had been exxagerated.
UKIP former leader Nigel Farage said that if the Prime Minister drags her feet on her referendum commitments she will come under growing pressure from his party and more than half the country's electorate.
Pressure on Mrs. May – from the electorate, (top right) Nigel Farage, (top left) Boris Johnson and hundreds of MPs – to invoke Article 50 will steadily grow.
German and French leaders will not be keen to have more economic uncertainty in the weeks leading up to their elections next year. Mrs. May is likely to take this into account, as she needs to get on well with them in order to secure a trade deal with the EU that her MPs (Members of Parliament) and voters are likely to embrace.
Does UK have a Brexit team?
If Mrs. May is aiming for the first quarter of 2017 to invoke Article 50, one wonders whether there is enough time to put together a decent and competent Brexit negotiating team . Negotiations will be tough and extremely complicated.
The British Civil Service has an excellent reputation globally as a body that can turn itself around rapidly, prepare ministers and get things up and running. If any public body is able to do this, it would be them.
The Government needs to find not only the right team, but also buildings, offices, even email addresses, etc.
The Government aims to have the Brexit negotiations team ready by the end of this year.
Experts estimate that it will take about two years to get a trade deal with the EU – that is, 24 months from the day Article 50 is invoked. Those two years will be fraught with uncertainty, rumours and volatility.

UK post-referendum economy surprises
The UK economy will probably expand at a faster rate than expected in 2016 and 2017, say economists as they adopt a much more optimistic view of things to come for the country following the Brexit vote on 23rd June.
George Osborne's and others' predictions of an economic meltdown have simply not happened. In fact, most economic statistics since the referendum point to a thriving economy.
Economists in the City of London now forecast GDP (gross domestic product) growth of 1.6% and 0.7% in 2016 and 2017 respectively, which is much more optimistic than July's forecasts of 1.5% and 0.5% (respectively).
Even so, the latest more positive predictions still represent a slowdown, when compared to last year's 2.2% growth. However, we are just at the threshold of post-referendum predictions. Panic has turned to mild optimism – who knows what economists will predict next month or towards the end of the year.
Barclays raised its July GDP growth forecast for 2016 from 1.1% to 1.5%, partly because of the better-than-expected second quarter GDP figures, which showed growth was speeding up in the months leading up to June's referendum.
Citigroup and Commerzbank have also improved their GDP growth forecast for 2016 from 1.3% to 1.7% and 1.2% to 1.6% respectively.
These predictions come during a week of surprisingly positive news, which suggests that the economic consequences of the Brexit vote may be nowhere as severe as first feared.
Joblessness was down both during the weeks immediately before the vote and also after. Unemployment is now at an 11-year low – at 4.9%.
Consumer spending was up by 5.8% in July 2016 compared to July 2015 – an encouragement to companies that had shelved investment plans because of Brexit concerns.
The vast majority of companies in the UK sell to domestic customers. If consumer spending at home is growing strongly, companies will probably start putting their shelved investment plans back on the table.
Some economists remain gloomy, and believe it is still early days and that the downturn will eventually come. In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Nomura's Philip Rush said:
"This week's numbers don't affect my view. Asking prices for houses are getting marked down without many new listings, and as this filters into the headline numbers, this should feed consumer caution and my forecast recession."

Street demonstrations urging the Prime Minister to invoke Article 50 like this one on August 17th will become larger and more frequent.

New Zealand's Marlborough region is tops for producing the racy style of Sauvignon Blanc we so enjoy. Pintar is a product of Cooper's Creek winery and crafted from grapes sourced from seven different vineyards.
The Green Dragon, my wife and expert on NZ Sauvignon Blanc, rates this wine highly as it offers a similar flavor profile to her favorites Kim Crawford and Starborough. At $12 per bottle, it's an easy way to keep the Dragon happy.
In the glass, the wine is a light yellow-green. On the nose, you can detect the trademark Marlborough notes of citrus and cut grass.
The flavors are a blast of lemon and lime laced together with vibrant acidity. The overall impression is sunshine and light. It is rich with flavor and the texture feels full.
Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine producing region, accounting for almost 80% of that country's production. The shining star is Sauvignon Blanc, which is available at remarkably low prices. Pintar is a solid addition to the the field.


Pope Francis' visit to Sri Lanka in 2016 was a boon to the Catholics of Sri Lanka, especially at a time when the internal war was almost over and peace was slowly returning to the island. Fr. Joel Kulanayagam, who was sent on a Mission to work with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), narrated the experiences of the people in the war zone and what it was to be and to live a dedicated Jesuit in the midst of challenges and hardships, deprivations and misunderstanding. In spite of these, they could draw solace from Christ by being 'little Samaritans' among the suffering masses.
In the postwar time, though some did leave a sigh of relief saying, "War is over once and for all" there is still a mixed feeling of relief as well as dissatisfaction in the minds and hearts of people. The ethnic divide seems obvious and distinct, between the North and North-East and the South and the South-East, between the Sinhala speaking Buddhists and the Tamil speaking Hindus, Muslims.
I paid a visit to Fr. Aloysius Pieris at Tulana, Kelaniya, the Province' Research Centre for Encounter & Dialogue, Education & Social Service. In spite of slight discomfort, cold and sneezing, he spent quite some time with me discussing about the present situation in Sri Lanka, the Centre's activities, and the relationship the Centre builds with other religious communities.
As I continued my conversation with various others, I could easily sense the 'real' meaning of dialogue in the postwar context, especially as I travelled towards Batticaloa and Trincomalee. I believe that it should be more obvious as one travels in the North to Jaffna and Mannar. The professional Counsellors of the 'Professional Psychological Centre' and 'Butterfly Peace Garden' run by Fr. Paul Satkunanayagam in Batticaloa, narrated stories of stage acts of children from conflicting ethnic groups on themes like saving lives, overcoming anger, breaking barriers, serving one another in charity, etc. To my knowledge and experience, such stage acts are a lasting effort at peace education and training of the youth and the neighbourhood. They said that common people, irrespective of their religious differences, do have a feel for one another, in helping, etc. especially at times of trouble, need, like in hospitals, in times of Tsunami, etc. 'People are good. But it is politics that separate these people,' one of them said.
In my conversation with them, I highlighted the rich resources of religions themselves for healing the memory, compassion, and mercy. Along with several of their strategies, I suggested to them to prepare a chart of short readings on the above themes from Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, and Islamic points of view that give a push to their staggering life of loss, anxiety, and depression. People feel the loss of their children and their property. They keep asking the army "Where are our sons and daughters? Where have you kept them? Are they still alive? Will they come back to us?" These and similar questions keep haunting the Tamils. They see their own lands being occupied by the military and their property damaged and uncared for. Some mention that they live like 'refugees,' internally displaced, in their own homeland!
Liaison with the Government and other officials for mediating reconciliation service is required at this crucial time, especially in the North-East regions. At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to help the Counsellors how they can help these people in skills development for sustaining their livelihood. This would certainly heal their memories of hurt and loss and engage them afresh in life and relationships. In this context, one could quickly see the relevance of "Non-violent communication" promoted by Fr. Rajendram Christlim in Trincomalee.
The training would make a great sense and become proactive for people in the midst of ethnic hurts. A contextual training in this area to all people and especially the Counselors, would enable them solve the internal feuds and problems of distancing from one another. While the prophetic texts of religious traditions on mercy and compassion, understanding and forgiveness hopefully motivate people to leave their past hurts and see what is on the way forward, engaging in peaceful communication and fostering interreligious and intercultural understanding would enhance better relationships in the future.
I could witness to this very clearly in a public meeting of interreligious assembly, called "Samathana Peravai" at St. Sebastian's Church, Batticaloa. It was arranged with the help of the Commission for Interreligious Dialogue of the Diocese of Batticaloa. Bishop Joseph Ponniah and several other religious leaders were present in the assembly to interact with me on the crucial matter of religious relationship and harmony, and particularly in the postwar context of Sri Lanka. It was indeed tough for me to present feasible ways of building harmony as the situation in the country was 'real' and facing conflict from religious, political, and ethnic angles.
The metaphoric saying on Batticaloa as 'Meen Paadum Then Naadu' (Land of the Singing Fish) evokes in me the song of Peace (as the Way and as Life), not the 'deadly' silence of the Cemetery but a proactive engagement of clergy, religious, and the laity of all religions.
"The role of the Catholic Church has been substantial particularly in the postwar situation," says Bishop Emmanuel of Trincomalee, "especially through organizations like Caritas in rehabilitation work, in building communities, helping people in their livelihood, providing job, shelter, etc." Despite no formal gathering of religious leaders, the good work was carried on by the initiative of Catholic officials with the help of the Govt.
Fr. Rohan Bernard, Director of Social Communication and Youth Apostolate in the Diocese of Trincomalee, reiterated that social harmony is promoted through cultural programmes like 'Oli Vizha' or the Festival of Lights during Christmas season, in which non-Catholic communities like the Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus take part.
Incidentally, the one who took me to the Colombo Airport Mr. Prasanjaya, a Buddhist who intends to marry a Catholic girl, said that the Catholic majority in Negombo have a cordial give-and-take with the Buddhists especially during the celebrations on Christmas and Vesaka (Birth of Buddha), like Christians lighting the lamp, offering food and grain on Vesaka and Buddhists decorating Christmas Trees in their homes, etc. He also mentioned that there is not a big difference among the Hindu Tamils and Sinhala Buddhists, as these celebrate and worship Hindu gods and Buddha. In fact in Kelaniya Buddhist temple, there is a Hindu shrine inside and both the Hindu and Buddhist communities offer puja and take part in rituals in both these places.
In fact, it was a deeply 'religious' Sri Lanka, like India! Kandy, where the Tooth-relic of Buddha is preserved, experiences a multi-ethnic, cosmopolitan community with a beautiful Kelaniya University campus. It is fitting that our Tertians have their spiritual rejuvenating experience of being and living as Jesuits.
Fr. Baylon Perera, one of the Tertian Instructors, arranged a talk for me with the Tertians. It was a general talk on the ministry of interreligious dialogue in South Asia, bringing to the awareness of Jesuits the contexts of fundamentalism, prejudice, provocation, hate speech, violence, and right wing politics and the new directions and proactive role Jesuits need to engage in any ministry, particularly interreligious dialogue.
This is not the time for fundamentalist forces to operate in the land. It is sad and scandalous to hear about the various divisive forces in all communities, especially among majority community with the initiative of stray clergy organizations. Even among minority communities like the Hindus, the fundamentalist groups are supported, though not openly. It is time that religious communities which believe in interreligious amity should form communities of peace in their neighbourhood, giving a public voice to the harm being done because of fundamentalist trends and acts. The youth have a special engagement in taking initiatives in this direction and the elders should encourage and sustain their activities. Religious leaders and the Govt. officials have a crucial role to play in encouraging, sustaining, and fostering dialogue and amicable relationships.
Fr. George Fernando, Treasurer of the Jesuit Sri Lanka Province, says that people would like to live in peace, do not support animosity, divisive fundamentalist trends, religious or political. Fr. George feels that conflict resolution is the best form of dialogue in contemporary Sri Lanka, apart from the intellectual side of this ministry. People look for unbiased mediators who would ensure a 'win-win' situation on both sides, Sinhala and the Tamils. People quickly identify members supporting a particular side. Fr. George contends that the Catholic Church could play this role of being the 'peace-maker', even though at one time it was seen identified with particular groups. Religious leaders need to be with their people to animate and to sustain calmness and not to be easily provoked to violence.
The three decades of past history has imparted great lessons for Jesuits to be primarily 'peace-makers' and 'reconcilers'. Jesuits need to continue to adhere and to train people especially in formation in two-language policy (Tamil & Sinhala), learn in depth the religious and cultural richness of each tradition of people, get shuffled among and working in different regions, etc., follow the mid-path between extremes with the focus and attention on reconciliation and development.
I thank the following persons for giving me time for exclusive interviews, short and long conversations: Frs. Aloysius Pieris, John Joseph Mary, Paul Satkunanayagam and his Counselors, Eustace Fernando, Joel Kulanayagam, George Fernando, Maria Antony, Milroy Fernando, Bishop Christian Noel Emmanuel and Fr. Rohan Bernard of the Diocese of Trincomalee.
I thank Fr. Maria Antony and Fr. Lawrence Thiruvarut for accompanied me most time through Negombo, Kelaniya, Kandy, Batticaloa, and Trincomalee. I thank Sch. Randika Fernando took me around the Kandy Seminary. I thank Fr. John Joseph Mary, an example of being young in heart and act, who showed me the several churches, the tsunami-affected area, and the remnants of war with non-stop narration of stories. I thank Fr. Anton Pieris, Socius to the Provincial, for planning and arranging all my journeys and for making my stay comfortable.
I was happy to be as a Guest of Honour at the Provincials' house at Negombo on the country's Day of Independence (February 4, 2017) with celebrations that included Solemn Mass, hoisting of the National Flag, and the Planting of the trees. I extend my thanks to all the Superiors and Ministers of the Jesuit houses in Negombo, Kandy, Batticaloa, and Trincomalee for their joyous welcome and generous hospitality.
Having stayed in Sri Lanka for a very short time, it sounded to me that the whole land of Sri Lanka is going through an important era of coming together in justice and peace with a strong faith in their own religious traditions, faith in the Buddha's compassion, faith in Christ's charity and love, faith in the Hindu's tolerance, and faith in the Muslim's brotherhood. There is also a hope in me, my mind praying that the land regains the much it had lost over the years of war.
PEACE to you, SRI LANKA!

Façade du Musée Voltaire, aux Délices, où Voltaire résida de 1755 à 1760 (BGE/Stéphane Pecorini)
The library of Les Délices is a noncirculating library that provides researchers access to over 22,000 volumes, including 2500 editions of Voltaire's writings, in the original French and in translation. Readers can consult works by the great man in 24 other languages, including Hungarian, Catalan, Bulgarian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and Czech. Among recent acquisitions there is the Chinese translation of the "Philosophical letters," "Candide," "Essay on the manners and spirit of nations," the "Philosophical dictionary," and naturally "The Orphan of China." A special effort is being made at this time for adaptations, imitations, or parodies of Voltaire's works, in a word what we might call the Voltairian "legacy."
Houdon, "Voltaire assis", bronze, début 19e siècle, IMV IC 044
A documentation center devoted to the 18th century
Nevertheless, Voltaire is not the only author at Les Délices who has good reason to be there. The library indeed strives to be a tool for anyone interested in the 18th century, be it history, the history of ideas, or literature. A significant number of specialized periodicals that are devoted to that age and hard to find elsewhere are available to the public.
For further information, please contact Catherine Walser, librarian. You can also consult online RERO Explore (the library network of Western Switzerland) and RERO Explore Geneva (the library network of Geneva) and discover the wealth of materials that are conserved at the institute!
The Musée Voltaire, moreover, has a large store of manuscripts that are not limited to Voltaire alone, although documents in his hand do constitute the most important group in terms of numbers. These manuscripts evidence the fertile intellectual output of all those who made the Enlightenment what it was.
Thus patrons can explore, for example, the Beaumarchais or the Suard archives, as well as Saint-Lambert's highly interesting correspondence with Henri Agasse de Cresne.
The manuscripts
The Musée Voltaire is pleased to offer its patrons the now digitized catalogue of its manuscript collections. More than 50% of our collections can now be found on VOLAGE. Volage is the acronym in French of VOLtaire A GEnève, or Voltaire in Geneva.
The collection of manuscripts for the most part took shape thanks to the important donation that Theodore Besterman made to the City of Geneva in 1954. This Polish-born British billionaire, a fervent reader and admirer of Voltaire, was the man behind the founding of the institute's library and museum, which he enriched with thousands of books, manuscripts, and visual materials. The director of the Institut et Musée Voltaire from 1954 to 1970, Besterman was succeeded by Charles-Ferdinand Wirz, who retired in 2002. Thanks to this great connoisseur of Voltaire, the manuscript collections have been enriched, made accessible to researchers, and painstakingly studied.
They form two large groups of texts that are easily identifiable, in that the first comprises all the isolated manuscripts, which have been physically collected in specialized binders, while the second, under the sole identifying tag MS, covers the collections (whether put together by another after the author's death or no) that had already been assembled and bound beforehand.
The call numbers of the former group vary greatly. The C series, for instance, designates all the pieces of correspondence and is broken down into five distinct categories: CA for Voltaire's active correspondence; CB for his passive correspondence; CC for other 18th-century correspondences; CD for the letters that had formerly entered the Bestermanian corpus of the Correspondance définitive originally published by Les Délices, and later the Voltaire Foundation of Oxford; and finally CE for all other forms of correspondence.
The current database offers about 50% of our collection and is regularly enlarged as the remaining pieces are catalogued. Pieces coming into the collection are also processed in a way that allows them to be quickly put on line. For further questions, please contact Flavio Borda d'Água, assistant specialist.

Income tax exemption for gas-fired power plant sought
in Finance, News January 10, 2005 57 Views
ISLAMABAD (January 10 2005): The Private Power Infrastructure Board (PPIB) has recommended to the government that income tax exemption may be extended to those gas fired power plants, which intend to use dual-fuel option (furnace oil + gas) due to non-availability or less availability of gas, reliable sources in the Petroleum Ministry have indicated.
"Government should extend income tax exemption to those gas-based power plants, which also want to operate on oil due to non-availability or limited availability of gas," sources quoted a document of the PPIB.
The PPIB in its document said that 'power policy' of 2002 provides a set of fiscal incentives to the power projects. One of these incentives was the exemption from income tax, including turnover rate tax and withholding tax on imports.
However, in order to encourage the power projects based on indigenous resources, the oil-fired power plants have been excluded from the income tax exemption. The said exemption has already been incorporated in the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, Second Schedule, and Section 132.
The Ministry of Petroleum has indicated that the availability of gas to power generation projects can be ensured only up to 2011, and that too, in extremely limited quantities. In the SNGPL system, gas would be available to the new IPPs on a nine-month basis. Likewise, the SSGC would be able to supply only 80 MMCFD of gas to the new IPPs, from 2007-2011.
In the light of limited availability of gas for thermal power generation and the sharp increase in electricity demand in central Punjab and Karachi, it was imperative to find a practical solution to address the power needs of the country in a timely manner.
The PPIB has suggested that one way to deal with this problem would be to set up power plants that were capable to operate on dual-fuel, ie gas and liquid fuel (furnace oil, HSD, etc).
Unfortunately, this was not the ideal solution as it reduces the efficiency of the plants and increases the cost of generation. However, the lenders and investors would not finance the project unless the fuel supply is secured on long-term basis (15-20) years.
Under these circumstances, the dual-fuel option appears to be the only pragmatic solution to make the IPPs financeable on long-term basis, the board argued.
However, the board said that as it was mentioned earlier, the income generated by IPPs through oil-based generation would become taxable, which would have two distinct disadvantages:
(i) There would be complications in the computation of taxable income that belongs to the oil-based power generation, and
(ii) The impact of income tax would be passed on to the consumers in the form of higher generation cost/tariff.
The board said that it appears logical that tax exemption be extended to include the dual-fuel power plants that are forced to operate on oil, due to the non-availability or limited availability of gas.
The summary is likely to be submitted to the Economic Co-ordination Committee of the Cabinet (ECC) very shortly.

LG V30 Vs LG V20: The Successor to Roll Out with an OLED Display
It seems the South Korean tech conglomerate LG, has got special plans for their lineup device in 2017. As per reports, LG V30 been nailed on to release after a couple of days. LG V20, the 2016 flagship smartphone of LG, sported the secondary displays, appropriately one of the major highlights of the device. Concerning LG V30 vs LG V20, there are hosts of new features that are going to get updated with LG V30, as per the rumor mill.
LG V30 Vs LG V20: Compare the Specifications Mentioned Below
Indeed, when a successor is being unveiled, various specifications get updated, while a variety of features maintain its consistency of being identical to its predecessor.
While we are concerned with LG V30 vs LG V20, several reports have come across. As per display, LG V20 rolled out with an LCD size of 5.7-inch, boosting the Quad HD 1440×2560 resolution. On the contrary, its successor, LG V30 is going to come in with an OLED display. Instead of the secondary display, the beast is expected to sport the OLED panel.
As per the delightful optical features, LG V20 featured the camera of the G5, with a primary camera of the dual16-megapixel and 8-megapixel camera on the rear panel alongside a selfie shooter of 5 MP. The successor is anticipated to feature a dual 13-megapixel rear camera alongside an updated front camera of 8 MP.
LG V20 featured a powerful battery backup of 3200 mAh. So as per envisions, we speculate the device to be powered by 3500 mAh battery, alongside Qualcomm's Quickcharge 4.0 technology.
With LG V30 vs LG V20 memory, the predecessor was unveiled with an internal storage of 64 GB alongside a RAM of 4 GB. With plausible reports, under the hood, its successor will be packed up with a RAM of 6GB and 32 GB internal memory for one variant. While on the other hand, another variant will be coupled with 8GB of RAM along with an internal storage of 64 GB.
The Wrapping Up
As per availability, the beast is going to hit the market shelves in a couple of months. However, if we consider the comparison of LG V30 vs LG V20 devices, then the prior one was announced in September 2016. When we are concerned with LG V30 Release date, it is likable to speculate the beast to roll out by the end of August. As per reports, the flagship smartphone is expected to be announced in the month of August.

Q: Error message 462 when running the same VBAcode for the second time I have a table in Excel with in cell A1 the title and in cell A2-H5 the values.
The code below is creating a Word document, copies the table into that Word document and changes the row height of the table. It works fine the first time.
But when Word is closed and the same code is run again, it breaks on line 620 with error code 462.
It seems that my code is not perfect and Word is using a hidde global variable which is closed when Word is closed.
Who can help me avoiding this error message?

La storiografia di questo artista è complessa a causa delle documentazioni scoperte nel tempo. La sua figura è stata spesso confusa con diversi artisti, come Jacopo de' Bavosi e soprattutto con il vicentino Jacopo Avanzo, attivo a Vicenza, Verona e Padova.

Proprio a Padova affrescò, secondo recenti studi, tra il 1376 e il 1377, Le storie di San Giacomo nelle lunette della cappella di San Giacomo nella Basilica di Sant'Antonio di Padova, completate poi da Altichiero.

Allo stesso artista sono attribuiti anche gli affreschi nella Chiesa di Sant'Apollonia di Mezzaratta raffiguranti le Storie di Mosè: ora distaccati dal sito originario, si trovano presso la Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna.

L'unica opera firmata dal pittore è la Crocifissione della Galleria Colonna a Roma, anche se una cospicua aggiunta al catalogo di Jacopo Avanzi è stata proposta dal critico Benati nel 1985  con l'attribuzione del ciclo con Scene di battaglia e Personaggi dell'antichità nel castello malatestiano di Montefiore Conca in provincia di Rimini.

Publication summary:
A detailed and extensive study of the phenomenon of "romantic friendship" in western culture (primarily England and the US).
I.A.4 Transvestism: Persecution and Impunity
I don't have a lot of commentary on this chapter. It's a solid catalog of a number of commonly known examples of crossdressing and passing women from the relevant era, in particular those cases where lesbian sexual activity was either documented, accused, or suspected. The issue that makes Faderman's presentation the most dated for the reader today is the absence of any consideration of transgender issues, but I think it's important to consider how immensely that conversation has evolved since the 1980s. The discussion in this chapter reaches for some sort of nuanced understanding of the multiplicity of purposes and contexts for passing women, and the complex intersections between gender performance and erotic desire. As in much of the book, we seem to get the conclusions in advance of the evidence: that claiming male social prerogatives was more harshly viewed than romantic or sexual relationships between women. On the other hand, the evidence of this chapter--with its many examples of genital sexual activity between women--seems to undermine the larger thesis of the book which discounts such activity as a motivating force behind women's romantic friendships.
In this chapter, Faderman reviews the historic and literary perception of women cross-dressing as men during the 16-18th centuries. She notes that women passing as men [or transgender men, although this framing was not typically used at the time the book was published] were considered a more serious issue than lesbian sex, as long as that sex was between "feminine" women. One difference was that sexual encounters could be framed as a transient amusement whereas passing women were engaged in a long-term transgression.
Beginning in the 16th century, English moralists railed against women appropriating individual male garments or styles, as in the pamphlet Hic Mulier. But in an era when clothing was, in general, strongly distinguished by gender, it was relatively easy for a woman to pass as male. Cross-dressing was not automatically associated with lesbian sex, even when it created the opportunity. Some autobiographical accounts of passing women, such as sailor Mary Anne Talbot, indicate they had no interest in female romantic attention. But when sexual activity was involved, penalties could be severe, up to and including death.
Faderman jumps back to the medieval period to contrast the story of Yde and Olive (where the cross-dressing Yde risks death for marrying Olive) and the real-life situation of troubadour Bieiris de Romans who addressed a love song to another women but who did not take on a male persona, either in text or life. Other examples of non-crossdressing women who received lenient responses to lesbian sexual encounters include Sara Norman and Mary Hammond in Plymouth colony (1649). But legal cases where passing women married or had sex with other women often resulted in execution, as in the case reported in 1566 by Henri Estienne, one in 1580 recorded in Switzerland by Michel de Montaigne, the German trial of Catharine Margaretha Linck in 1721, and the alleged Turkish example in the 1749 polemic Satan's Harvest Home.
Although no executions are noted in England or America, similar cases made their way into sensationalist literature, as with Henry Fielding's The Female Husband, which was based on the true story of Mary Hamilton. And if a passing woman married and lived a quiet, upstanding life--such as Mary (James) How in the mid 18th century, even later discovery might have no serious consequences. Even in countries where severe punishments were meted out, there is a suggestion that consequences might be lesser if deception were not an issue, as in the case of Henrica Schuria (told in Robert James's Medicinal Dictionary) who had passed as a man to serve as a soldier, but whose sexual affair with a widow after returning home only merited whipping and banishment, perhaps because she did not conceal her gender and because a dildo was not involved. Similarly, the case of Anne Grandjean in Grenoble received a relatively light sentence for marrying a woman because she was thought to be genuinely in doubt about her gender.
The complex intersection of gender, sexuality, and class is noted in the case of Queen Christina of Sweden who was known for cross-dressing (although clearly not in order to deceive about her identity) and whose romantic/sexual interest in women was documented both before and after her abdication from the throne. At the other end of the social scale, actresses and other performers, such as Mary Frith in early 17th century England, and Mademoiselle de Maupin in late 18th century France could use crossdressing as part of their public persona, even in combination with sexual relations with women, and be given a pass, perhaps for not attempting a complete disguise, perhaps because of public support for their flamboyant presentations. Actress Charlotte Charke also received benefit of a forgiving public when her autobiography detailed crossdressing adventures and romantic encounters with women.
Of the many women who crossdressed to enter the military, Faderman notes Deborah Sampson and plays up the possibility that her flirtations with women while passing may have been evidence of lesbian orientation, despite her marriages to men both before and after her military service.

Loved it!!!!! One of the best parts of my trip to NYC!
My friends and I really enjoyed the tour & our guide John. He was very friendly & super informative. He made us laugh and answered any question we threw at him. Above all, his patience with 6 crazy Texas ladies was above & beyond. Selfies & group shots everywhere along with a few tumbles from a couple of the ladies all the while keeping a smile on his face the whole time. He explained the history of the city with all the stops we made thoroughly and we walked away feeling like we knew the city a lot better. I would highly recommend this tour! We felt it was very personalized & the hours flew by. Thank you to John for making this so enjoyable!!!

You've probably heard of the Stanford marshmallow experiment. In the '60s and '70s, Walter Mischel — a psychologist at Stanford University — put one preschooler at a time at a desk on which he had placed a bell and a couple marshmallows or other treats equally tough for a kid to resist.
We have urges, desires, interests, instincts. We want stuff, like to flirt with or date somebody. Some of us are inclined to get or do what we want as soon as we want to get or do it. Few of us consider this: like for the preschoolers who agreed to wait 15 minutes because it meant two marshmallows instead of one, there are good reasons to delay action, even if what you want's within your reach.
Moderation keeps us virtuous. Virtue requires us to moderate our urges, desires, interests, instincts — to prepare with prayer and thought before we act on them. Chastity is the virtue with which we moderate our appetites instead of being controlled by them. Modesty is the virtue that "encourages patience and moderation in loving relationships" (CCC 2522) — it compels us to think before we speak or act. Temperance is the virtue that "moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods. It ensures the will's mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable" (CCC 1809).
Moderation points us in the right direction. To preside over a desire means we wait to act on a desire until prayer, critical thought, and context determine that it's a good idea to act on it. You can't predict how long it'll be before it's smart to act, or whether it even ever will be. That can make a heart hurt. But those are growing pains, and growth puts us in better positions. It orients us toward what we are actually designed for. Time will tell whether that aligns with what we've desired. If it does, we will be better prepared — by moderation — to act on that desire. If it doesn't, by then, our desires likely will have changed.
Moderation prepares us for what God has prepared for us. Sometimes, like preschoolers who ate the marshmallows without hesitation, we go for what we want as soon as we want it. We think that by not immediately acting on a desire or interest, we risk missing out on something great. But patience, prayer, and thought before we act is what's going to unveil the things that are truly great — the purposes God wants us to serve, the vocations he wants us to live, and the will with which we must align our lives.

Monash University's Paul Strangio, an expert on prime ministers, suggests this "policy adventurism" may also have been motivated by Labor's determination to obtain a positive mandate for government. After all, the rot began for the Abbott government when measures in its 2014 budget were not just harsh but unflagged in opposition.
This election is special for the upper house, because the voting changes made by the Turnbull government will operate for the first time in a half-Senate poll. With the seats of about a dozen crossbenchers (including Greens) in play, Green says they'll be lucky if half get back.

China's unemployment rate has fallen back to pre-epidemic levels
The unemployment rate has fallen back to the level before the epidemic, and the new policy is on the way to reduce the burden and stabilize the job. Under the dual effects of the continuous economic recovery and the employment priority policy, China's employment situation in the first three quarters was better than expected, and the surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas has fallen below t
The unemployment rate has fallen back to the level before the epidemic, and the new policy is on the way to reduce the burden and stabilize the job.
Under the dual effects of the continuous economic recovery and the employment priority policy, China's employment situation in the first three quarters was better than expected, and the surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas has fallen below the level of the same period before the epidemic.
In the next step, China will continue to effectively reduce the burden on enterprises and make every effort to stabilize and expand employment opportunities.
Experts interviewed by China Business News believe that the current employment performance is better than the economic performance, and the downward pressure on the economy in the third quarter has not been clearly transmitted to the employment field.
However, small and micro enterprises and blue-collar groups with poor ability to resist risks need more support. The employment status of industries affected by the economic cycle and supervision, such as real estate, education and training, also need attention.
Small, medium and micro enterprises are an important part of our country's market entities, and they are the top priority of securing employment.
In response to the current situation in which small, medium and micro enterprises are under greater operating pressure, the State Council executive meeting in the last two weeks has successively deployed policy measures to help companies relieve their difficulties.
On the evening of the 27th, the National Standing Committee made the latest decision on the corporate income tax, domestic value-added tax, domestic consumption tax and accompanying urban construction and maintenance tax for small, medium and micro enterprises in the manufacturing industry in the fourth quarter of this year, as well as individual industrial and commercial households, individual proprietorships and partnership enterprises. The personal income tax paid (excluding the personal income tax withheld and paid by them) is subject to tax deferment.
Employment performance is better than expected
Both official and private think tanks show that China's employment data in the third quarter was not affected by the decline in GDP growth.
The data released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security at a press conference on the 27th showed that the completion of new jobs in cities and towns across the country was faster than the schedule, reaching 10.45 million from January to September, completing 95% of the target tasks.
The surveyed unemployment rate in cities and towns across the country fell back to the pre-epidemic level, with an average of 5.0% in the third quarter, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the same period in 2019.
Among them, the urban surveyed unemployment rate in September was 4.9%, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month and a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from the same period last year.
Song Xin, deputy director of the Employment Promotion Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that as China's economy continues to recover, the policy of reducing burdens, stabilizing jobs and expanding employment continues to be implemented, and all-round employment services continue to develop. The employment situation remains generally stable and better than expected, and resumed in the third quarter. The situation is more positive.
The China Employment Research Institute of Renmin University of China recently released the third quarter "China Employment Market Climate Report" also showed that the CIER (China Employment Climate Index) for the third quarter of 2021 was 2.15, which was higher than 2.09 in the previous quarter and 1.89 in the same period last year.
Zeng Xiangquan, director of the China Employment Research Institute, told CBN that compared with the same period last year, the number of recruitment needs has increased, the number of job applicants has decreased, and the employment prosperity index has rebounded significantly year-on-year. At present, China's employment prosperity index is still at a high level.
Wang Pingping, director of the Population and Employment Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, believes that in the first three quarters, economic operations continued to recover and the employment situation continued to improve.
Entering the third quarter, the unemployment rate among young people has risen due to the concentration of a large number of college graduates seeking employment during the graduation season, which drove the unemployment rate surveyed in July to 5.1%.
In August, as graduates began to find jobs, the youth unemployment rate dropped significantly. However, due to the spread of epidemics and floods in the country, the unemployment rate of the main working-age population increased, and the unemployment rate in the national urban survey was the same as in July.
In September, as the work of graduates was implemented and the impact of the epidemic and the flood season subsided, the surveyed unemployment rate dropped to 4.9%, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from August.
CICC's research report stated that since the beginning of this year, China has shown a pattern of weak economy and not weak employment.
The employment performance in the first three quarters was better than the economic performance, reflecting the support brought by the employment policy and the platform economy.
Yao Jingyuan, a special researcher of the Counselor's Office of the State Council, believes that the economy has declined but the employment situation has improved. The first is that the employment priority policy is actively playing a role. China has adopted a series of measures to stabilize employment and encourage enterprises to increase employment; the second is the emergence of the economy. The decline does not mean that the endogenous power of our economy is insufficient, and that the endogenous power of our country is still strong.
For these reasons, companies have responded to national policies, stabilized jobs, and stabilized their expectations for economic growth.
However, Yao Kai, director of the Global Science and Innovation Talent Development Research Center of Fudan University, told China Business News that although active employment policies and increased fiscal expenditures have fully tapped the potential for employment, etc., it has brought about short-term economic weakness and employment is not weak. .
But in the long run, only by increasing the total amount and increment of economic development can the number and quality of jobs be increased.
Pay attention to job loss under industry supervision
Under the background of a good overall employment situation, there are also some industries that have experienced job losses due to the economic cycle and strengthened supervision. Among them, the education and training and real estate industries are more prominent; in addition, the government has a social security rights for employees of platform companies. The protection of the platform also leads to higher employment costs for platform companies, which will also have a certain impact on employment.
Zhang Chenggang, director of the China New Employment Form Research Center of Capital University of Economics and Business, said that China is currently in a period of superimposition of the impact of the epidemic and economic transformation and upgrading.
At this special stage, some industries that benefited from economic transformation and upgrading, such as advanced manufacturing, showed strong demand.
The continued high level of international trade has pushed up the demand for the processing industry and manufacturing.
At the same time, in industries affected by economic transformation and upgrading, industries affected by the epidemic, and industries that have strengthened policy supervision, the employment of laborers has been greatly affected.
The CICC research report shows that in recent years, the scale of China's education service industry market has expanded year by year, and the "double reduction" policy may bring about adjustments in education enterprises.
As of 2019, the market size of China's education service industry is 3 trillion yuan, and the K12 after-school tutoring market will be about 530 billion yuan in 2020.
Among them, mega and large institutions account for 10%, and the remaining 90% of the market entities are small, medium and micro institutions.
With policy adjustments and corresponding transformation of education and training institutions, small, medium and micro institutions may be even more affected.
The positions directly affected include K12 faculty, operations, and sales positions.
The report on China's job market prosperity also stated that in the third quarter, the number of people in the education/training/academies industry had significantly tightened.
Affected by the "double reduction" policy, the number of recruitment needs and job applicants in this industry has been declining month by month, and the number of occupational recruitment needs and job applicants such as primary and secondary school teachers, tutors, and academic management personnel have shown a downward trend.
In the context of stricter real estate policies, the pressure on employment in the real estate industry has increased. Not only is the number of employees in real estate companies declining, it has also affected the real estate agency industry. Shells are not spared either.
The platform economy and flexible employment development provide workers with more employment options, and are the main source of the rapid growth of new urban jobs in China. The rapid development of new business formats and new models has driven the increase of new jobs.
Since the beginning of this year, the rapid development of live streaming and online shopping has also led to the increase of employees in related industries.
Improving the social security rights of flexible employees is an important task for expanding the coverage of social security this year.
On July 16, the seven departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Implementing the Responsibilities of Online Catering Platforms and Effectively Protecting the Rights and Interests of Food Delivery Servicemen", urging the platform and third-party cooperation units to participate in social insurance for food deliverymen who establish labor relations, and supporting others Take-out food delivery staff participate in social insurance.
If platform companies implement this document, it will increase the employment cost of the platform to a certain extent. The impact of this policy on platform employment needs to continue to be observed.
Small and micro enterprises are still under pressure
Zeng Xiangquan said that further attention should be paid to the impact of the slowdown in economic growth on small and micro enterprises. In the third quarter, the number of small and micro enterprise recruitment needs dropped by nearly 20% year-on-year, and the employment prosperity index was also lower than the same period last year.
Zhang Chenggang said that the current operating pressures of small, medium and micro enterprises are still relatively high.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the mainstay of absorbing employment.
At present, SMEs are under pressure, profit margins are low, and demand for recruitment has not yet recovered, which may have a certain impact on future employment.
The CICC report also stated that individual industrial and commercial households, small and micro enterprises, etc. are facing operational and employment pressures after the epidemic.
As of 2021, there are more than 95 million individual industrial and commercial households in China, and more than 200 million people are employed.
These self-employed businesses are concentrated in offline service industries, including wholesale and retail (49.2%), accommodation and catering (23.8%), resident services (8.2%), etc.
The operation of the offline service industry has been continuously affected by the epidemic, and small and medium-sized enterprises have shown a pattern of oversupply of labor.
On October 20, the executive meeting of the State Council pointed out that protecting market entities such as small, medium and micro enterprises is guaranteeing employment, which is also conducive to increasing supply and stabilizing prices.
It is necessary to adopt multiple strategies and increase targeted efforts to help companies relieve their difficulties.
To prevent the transmission of bulk commodity prices to downstream industries, which puts small, medium and micro enterprises under cost pressure, step up research on inclusive policies including phased tax and fee reductions, and encourage local governments to reduce or exempt small, medium and micro enterprises in housing rents, water and electricity bills, etc. Support, reduce the burden on enterprises, and help overcome difficulties.
Promote the development of small, medium and micro enterprises in the direction of "specialization, specialization and innovation" to enhance market competitiveness.
Song Xin said that in the next step, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will take the implementation of the "14th Five-Year" employment promotion plan as the lead to ensure the overall stability of employment.
Specifically, the first is to make every effort to stabilize the position.
We will continue to implement policies such as reducing burdens, stabilizing jobs, and expanding employment, effectively reduce the burden on enterprises, and stabilize and expand employment.
Wang Pingping said that stable employment still requires precise efforts, and efforts must be made from both sides of the labor market demand and supply to ensure a stable employment situation.
Continue to implement various employment stabilization policies, support enterprises to stabilize jobs, promote entrepreneurship to drive employment, and expand employment channels; strengthen precise assistance to key groups such as college graduates, and improve the quality of employment services; implement the "Skills China Action" through large-scale Large-scale vocational skill training improves the skill quality of workers.

Q: Journal id drop-down fails to appear in AX2009 One person has this problem in production environment: when creating a new payment journal (AR/Journals/Payment/Payment journal) and tries to select a journal name, the drop-down only flashes momentarily but will not appear so that they could select a journal name.
They can however type the name manually and AX accepts this with no problem.
No problems with other journals or users have been reported.
I've instructed the user to clear their usage data and theis .auc file was also deleted, but the problem persists. And since this is in production, the debugger has not been installed - I have a nagging shadow of a memory that I've encountered something like this before and it was solved with the debugger, but alas, bad squishy memory error.
Thoughts, suggestions?

A: Alas, this is now moot, since the customer moved off AX. Nothing I could think up worked and as it was impossible to check for "layer 8" because of distance, this will be forever unanswered.

Netanyahu noted that Israel has been working with the US "for some time" towards the abandonment of Washington's passive support for the non-binding resolution titled "The occupied Syrian Golan." Previous US leadership had abstained from the vote on the symbolic document but, this year, under Donald Trump, the US became the only state to vote 'No' alongside Israel. However, with 151 votes in favor and 14 abstentions, the Special Political and Decolonization Committee's resolution passed anyway.
Israel has enjoyed the most favorable relations with the US under the Trump administration, which has bowed to a strong domestic Israeli lobby to support Tel Aviv's demands, ignored by previous American governments.
During Trump's presidency, Washington has been blocking Palestinian aspirations for statehood. In the most controversial move, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocated the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city. Months following the move, US ambassador David Friedman hinted that Washington might soon recognize Israel's claims over the Golan.
