The Dēnkard or Dēnkart is a 10th-century compendium of Zoroastrian beliefs and customs during the time. The Denkard is to a great extent considered an "Encyclopedia of Mazdaism" and is a valuable source of information on the religion during its Middle Persian iteration; the Denkard, however, is not considered a sacred text by a majority of Zoroastrians but is still considered worthy of study. The name traditionally given to the compendium reflects a phrase from the colophons, which speaks of the kart/kard, from Avestan karda meaning "acts", dēn, from Avestan daena "insight" or "revelation," but more translated as "religion." Accordingly, dēn-kart means "religious acts" or "acts of religion." The ambiguity of -kart or -kard in the title reflects the orthography of Pahlavi writing, in which the letter <t> may sometimes denote /d/. The individual chapters vary in age and authorship. Authorship of the first three books is attributed in the colophones to Adurfarnbag-i Farrokhzadan, as identified in the last chapter of book 3, who de Menasce believes lived in the early 9th century.

Of these three books, only a larger portion of the third has survived, which de Menasce proposes is the result of a transmission through other persons. The first three books were subsequently edited by a certain Ādurbād of Ēmēdān of Baghdad, the author of the remaining six books and whose work is dated 1020; the manuscript'B', the basis for most surviving copies and translations is dated 1659 and which its editor reconstructed from a destroyed work. Only fragments survive of any other copies as to current knowledge; the Denkard is contemporary with the main texts of the Bundahishn. The Denkard contained nine books or volumes, called nasks, the first two and part of the third have not survived. However, the Denkard itself contains summaries of nasks from other compilations, such as Chihrdad from the Avesta, which are otherwise lost; the natural divisions of the books are as follows: Books 3-5 are devoted to rational apologetics, book 4 to moral wisdom, books 7-9 to exegetical theology. Book 3, with 420 chapters, represents half of the surviving texts.

De Menasce observes that there must have been several different authors at work as the style and language of the collection is not uniform. The authors are however united in their polemic against the "bad religions", which they do not fail to identify by name; the majority of the chapters in book 3 are short, of three pages apiece. The topics covered in detail, though rare also identify issues for which the Zoroastrians of the period were criticized, such as marriage to next-of-kin. Although on first sight there appears to be no systematic organization of the texts in book 3, the chapter that deals with the principles of Zoroastrian cosmogony is the central theme around which the other chapters are topically arranged; the last chapter of book 3 deals with the legend of Alexander's destruction of the Avesta and of another copy which the Greeks are said to have translated into their own language. Although once considered to be a historical account, it is now accepted that the Avesta was not written before the 1st century CE, more not before the 4th century.

Book 4, the shortest volume in the collection, deals with the arts and sciences. Texts on those topics are interspersed by chapters explaining philosophical and theological concepts such as that of the Amesha Spentas, while other chapters deal with history and the religious contributions of Achaemenid and Sassanid monarchs. Book 4 contains an enumeration of works from Greece and India, reveals "foreign influence from the 3rd century onward." The last chapter of Book 4 ends with a chapter explaining the necessity for practicing good thoughts and deeds, the influences these have on one's afterlife. Book 5 deals with queries from adherents of other faiths; the first half of Book 5, titled the "Book of Daylamite", is addressed to a Muslim, Yaqub bin Khaled, who requested information on Zoroastrianism. A large part of this section is summary of the history of the world up to the advent of Zoroaster and the impact of his revelations; the history is followed by a summary of the tenets of the faith. According to Gignoux, the section "is nationalist and Persian in orientation," expressing a hope for the resurgence of Zoroastrianism and with it the restoration of Persian ideals that the author perceives to have been corrupted by Arab influence.

The second half of Book 5 is a series of 33 responses to questions posed by a certain Boxt-Mara, a Christian. Thirteen responses address objections raised by Boxt-Mara on issues of ritual purity; the bulk of the remaining material deals with free will and the efficacy of good thoughts and deeds as a means to battle evil. Book 6 is a compilation of andarz and aphorisms that embody a general truth or astute observation. Most of the compositions in book 6 are short didactic sentences that deal with morality and personal ethics. Structurally, the book is divided into sections that are distinguished from one another by their introductory formulae. In the thematic divisions identified by Shaul Shaked, the first part is devoted to religious subjects, with a stress on devotion and piety; the second and third are related to ethical principles, with the third revealing Aristote

The Constitutional Court of Sint Maarten is a court of Sint Maarten. As a constitutional court it evaluates the constitutionality of the provisions of legislation, approved by the Estates of Sint Maarten and signed into law, but which has not entered into force. Procedures by the court may be initiated only by the ombudsman of Sint Maarten; as of July 2016, the court has decided two cases. Sint Maarten is the only country in the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a constitutional court; the National ordinance Constitutional Court forms the legal basis for the constitutional court. It was approved by the Island Council of Sint Maarten before Sint Maarten obtained the status of country within the Kingdom as part of the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles and entered into force when Sint Maarten obtained that status on 10 October 2010; the court consists of 3 judges. Membership of the court ends in the month after reaching the age of 70; the Council of State of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Common Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, of Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba each nominate one of their judges as a member and deputy member of the court.

The third member and deputy member is appointed after hearing the Constitutional Court. Members of the court are: As of January 2018, 2 cases have been brought before the court by Ombudsman Rachnilda J. A. Arduin, ombudsman of the country since its inception. A complete recast of the Criminal Code was approved in 2012 and the ombudsman requested evaluation of the Act in January 2013; as this was the first case of the court, in its decision ECLI:NL:OCHM:2013:3 it first laid down certain points of departure regarding its evaluation consisting of 5 points: The court needs to evaluate acts only on those points about which the Ombudsman raises concerns. The court should exercise judicial restraint when multiple interpretations are concerned. A presumption of constitutionality exists: when the act can be interpreted in a way, constitutional it will follow that interpretation; the court should follow a "practical" and "effective" approach. The provisions of the constitution should be interpreted in the light of relevant provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights that they are based on, interpreted with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.

The same goes for provisions. The Ombudsman had made seven complaints regarding the law, which were dealt with in ECLI:NL:OCHM:2013:2 The promulgation date was not recorded, which made it hard to identify the start of the 6-week period that the Ombudsman has to file complaints with the court; this complaint was considered well-founded. The provisions of the code were renumbered following several amendments during the legislative process without a proper mandate to do so; this complaint was held to be well-founded. Animal fights; the code allowed animal fights as part of a cultural expression. The court held. Higher maximum penalties for theft from tourists; the court held the complaint unfounded. Life without parole; the code did not provide any provision for parole for people convicted for life (Dutch: levenslange gevangenisstraf and the government explained that no informal parole system existed. The court found such a penalty inhuman in line with ECHR case law. Different treatment of residents and non-residents, as the first could not qualify for release on licence.

This complaint was held to be well-founded. Legalization of prostitution; the court held. Thus the Court held complaints 1, 2, 5, 6 to be well founded, it decided not to annul the ordinance as a whole but to annul only the provisions related to life without parole and release on licence. The National Ordinance for the establishment of the Integrity Chamber was approved by the Parliament of Sint Maarten, after considerable pressure from the Netherlands; the Chambre was to act upon possible violations of public integrity. The ombudsman complained that a substantial change had not been submitted to the Council of Advice for additional advice; the court held. Based on fundamental problems regarding the constitutionality of the act, in part because of the changes introduced, they Court annulled the act as a whole and laid down the requirements that a possible new act would have to fulfill; these requirements included: Warranties for competence and mandate of a supervisory organization of the integrity chambre Warranties for the right to be heard of people subject to criminal investigation Hearing persons under oath or the possibility of a penalty payment in case of non-compliance with a request should not be possible if parallel criminal proceedings are ongoing Clarity should be given about the transfer of findings from the integrity chambre to criminal investigators, about the right not to incriminate oneself The use of search warrants should be properly supervised Constitutional Court section on Ombudsman Sint Maarten website Case 2013/1 html and pdf Case 2013/1 html and pdf Case 2015/1 html and pdf

Dr. Bartlett Leonidas Snipes Durham was an American physician and entrepreneur whose land, donated for a railway station, became the location of Durham, North Carolina, named for him. Bartlett S. Durham was born and raised 12 miles west of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in rural Orange County. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, he returned to Orange County and, in 1847 or 1848, purchased 100 acres of undeveloped land in the eastern portion of the county, between settlements known as Prattsburg and Pinhook as a speculative investment, in advance of the planned North Carolina Railroad. In 1849, Durham donated 4 acres, directly adjacent to "Pandora's Box", to the railroad; the railroad, in turn, named Durham's Station in his honor. The collection of stores and houses a mile to the west of Prattsburg became "Durhamville" and the site of the new station by the early 1850s. Shortly thereafter, Durham became the first railroad agent in the vicinity of Durhamville, with a liquor license and a stake in the general store.

At some point during the early 1850s, Durham was elected to represent Orange County in the North Carolina General Assembly, having introduced a bill to form a chapter of the Sons of Temperance. Bartlett Durham died from pneumonia on February 2, 1859. Ten years fueled by the post-Civil War tobacco boom, the North Carolina General Assembly incorporated Durham on the site of the railway station named in his honor. Twelve years after that, the eastern portion of Orange County and the western tip of Wake County were combined to form Durham County. Durham was laid to rest in a windowed iron coffin in an unmarked grave on the grounds of Antioch Cemetery in Orange County, wearing "gold-rimmed" glasses. Shortly after Durham County was formed, Julian S. Carr began a public campaign advocating the exhumation and reburial of Bartlett Durham's remains within his namesake city. Nearly a decade after Carr himself had died, Durham officials exhumed the coffin on June 27, 1933, with Mayor W. F. Carr and County Commissioner John Harris accepting the remains for the city and county.

It was transported to Hall-Wynne Funeral Home. Reburial took place Jan. 2, 1934, in Maplewood Cemetery, under a marker that lists incorrect middle name, erroneous dates of birth and death
