Heroes and Romans in Twelfth-Century Byzantium
Nikephoros Bryennios' history of the Byzantine Empire in the 1070s is a story of civil war and aristocratic rebellion in the midst of the Turkish conquest of Anatolia. Commonly remembered as the passive and unambitious husband of Princess Anna Komnene (author of the Alexiad), Bryennios is revealed as a skilled author whose history draws on cultural memories of classical Roman honor and proper masculinity to evaluate the politicians of the 1070s and implicitly to exhort his twelfth-century contemporaries to honorable behavior. Bryennios' story valorizes the memory of his grandfather and other honorable, but failed, generals of the eleventh century while subtly portraying the victorious Alexios Komnenos as un-Roman. This reading of the Material for History sheds new light on twelfth-century Byzantine culture and politics, especially the contested accession of John Komnenos, the relationship between Bryennios' history and the Alexiad and the function of cultural memories of Roman honor in Byzantium.

L’antiriciclaggio dei professionisti
Entro il 30 giugno 2019 tutti i dottori commercialisti dovranno adeguarsi alle nuove regole in materia di antiriciclaggio. E’ l’effetto più concreto dell’emanazione, da parte del Consiglio Nazionale dell’Ordine, delle regole tecniche attuative della quarta direttiva antiriciclaggio, che hanno un valore normativo. Tempi stretti anche per notai, avvocati e consulenti del lavoro. Rispetto alla disciplina previgente (che ha dimostrato di non funzionare) si passa da obblighi soprattutto formali a obblighi sostanziali, sanzionati molto più pesantemente e che richiedono un’attività valutativa non indifferente. La guida L’antiriciclaggio dei professionisti, edita da ItaliaOggi, fornisce un quadro preciso e aggiornato della normativa, utile per tutti i professionisti coinvolti nella lotta al denaro sporco.
Cross Shadow
All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid it. Former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor John Cross is busy caring for the small community of believers he ministers to in Virginia. Journalist Christine Lewis is busy with the demand for her talents from top news agencies in New York City. Neither have any time left for their relationship, which began eight months before when they paired up to prevent the detonation of a chemical bomb in the nation’s capital. But when Christine hears that her stepbrother has been arrested for murder in Texas, they team up again to discover the truth about the crime. Untangling a web of conspiracy, the couple finds themselves in the center of another dangerous situation—and in trouble far deeper than they expected. With an assassin on the loose, a trusted colleague acting as a double agent, and unreliable artificial intelligence connected to mercenaries who have Cross on their hit list, these two may not get out of the Lone Star State alive.
