Kansas football made waves the weekend after National Signing Day last February, and the 2018 class is still a consensus Top-20 class among recruiting circles. With spring practices concluded, the coaching staff is continuing their recruiting efforts, and seem to be having some more success, especially in the state of Louisiana.
First, a quick recap of the 2018 class as it stands today:
2018 Kansas Football Recruiting Class
Clayton Tune QB 6'2" 195 lbs *** *** Carrollton TX
Anthony Williams RB 5'8" 165 lbs *** *** Boutte, LA TCU, Miss St, UCLA
Devonta Jason WR 6'3" 187 lbs **** **** New Orleans, LA Bama, LSU, Aub, UF, FSU, OU
Cartez Crook-Jones DE 6'4" 230 lbs *** *** Grandview, MO KSU, Mizz, ISU
Corione Harris CB 6'1" 170 lbs **** **** New Orleans, LA Ark, Aub, UF, OU, A&M, WVU
Aaron Brule S 6'2" 194 lbs *** *** Metairie, LA Ark, Ariz, ISU, Tenn, Cinci, Mem
And now on to the recruiting hits!
On Tuesday, 4-star CB Kelvin Joseph, who is verbally committed to LSU, tweeted that he has scheduled three of his five official visits, and that Kansas is on the list. Joseph is out of Baton Rouge, LA, and is a consensus national top-40 player regardless of position. His offer sheet includes Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, Clemson, Georgia, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and plenty more.
On Monday, 3-star DT Josh Walker tweeted that Kansas made the cut for his top seven. Walker is a top-100 player in the state of Florida (as opposed to a national top-100 player). The other six teams that made his cut are Nebraska, North Carolina, Rutgers, Arizona, Minnesota, and Wake Forest.
Last week, Kansas offered Antonio Howard, a Juco CB from Miami, FL, by way of Independence CC (Kan). However, Howard verbally committed to Texas A&M the day after Kansas offered, and holds other offers from Louisville, Ole Miss, TCU, and Iowa State.
Kansas coaches aren't just out making offers for the Class of 2018. Many offers have been extended to members of the Class of 2019 - kids who will be juniors this fall - and even some offers to members of the Class of 2020. Kansas is a school that has to do this sort of thing, that is, build relationships with kids early on so they can have a chance at them if (or when) the "power schools" come calling.
The coaching staff seems to be doing a good job of focusing on future recruiting classes while working on the current year. We'll find out over the next year or two as to how well they can close, but for now, things continue to look promising as top recruits continue to make Lawrence an official visit destination.


It's a brand new year, which is a great time to get a fresh start on goals. You may already have personal New Year's resolutions (exercise more, write more, etc.), but you might want to consider setting specific book sales and marketing goals.
Setting annual goals can be overwhelming — Where should you begin? What's realistic? Are you being ambitious enough? To provide you with some inspiration, we asked a variety of authors to share their book marketing-related New Year's resolutions! We'd also love to hear from you — share your New Year's resolutions in the comments below.
We wish all our partners a happy and healthy new year (complete with plentiful book sales).
Rebranding the covers to be more genre-focused. This will attract more of the readers who will like my books, and fewer of the ones who won't.
Re-writing the first book in the series to improve reader satisfaction. Since my series is sequential, Book 1 is the main entry-point for my new readers. It was also the first book that I ever wrote, and you can tell. I would like to go back and bring it up to the same level of quality as my other books.
Creating a short prequel novella as a free giveaway that I can place on all retailers for $0.99 (the series is in Kindle Unlimited right now).
"In 2018, I will focus on solidifying my branding. I've written over 50 novels, which I divide into different "franchises." For example, Requiem is about dragons. Kingdoms of Sand is an epic fantasy series set in ancient Rome. Earthrise is a series of space opera novels.
In 2018, I will grow and strengthen the Earthrise brand. Throughout the year, I will release five more novels in this universe. Each will feature artwork by Tom Edwards, who also painted the previous 10 Earthrise covers. Each cover will include the brand name. I'm considering hiring a designer to create an Earthrise logo to place on each cover.
"Readers never seem to tire of autographed books, and I have a garage full of legacy paperbacks. I use Rafflecopter for my monthly giveaways. But one winning tactic that I'm going to experiment with more in 2018 is creating customized entry options for extra chances to win.
Follow me on Amazon. This creates a free email blast from Amazon for my new releases.
Ask me a question on Goodreads. This requires some follow-up in terms of briefly answering the questions, but it's a fairly painless way to improve engagement on Goodreads.
Repost or retweet this message. This gives me a free sales team to spread my custom message.

Can you please let me know what is the issue here and how to make it work

A:
it is not executing the statements within the IF clause even if the
conditions are satisfying.

I believe you are mistaken about this. If the instructions contained in your xsl:if statement are not executed, it is because the test returns false. You can verify this by running the following stylesheet and adding the result to your question:

Q: Big Decimal in Java As trainee in Java I need to find how to reduce the value of a BigDecimal variable with the value of a Map, thats also BigDecimal.. OK, for example:
I have a restaurant with wareHose where I save my productAvailabilities and a menuMap, where I create my products, SO: when I have an order (Pizza), I have to reduce the available quantity from the wareHouse, with the quantities I need for create my order.
Every single Pizza has its map : Map<Product.Type, Quantity> pizza

A: If you want to update value of Quantity, then you can use put method
pizza.put(key, val);

to add a new key/value pair or overwrite an existing key's value.

A: class Recipe:
    pizza.put(Product.Type.CHEDDAR, new Quantity(BigDecimal.valueOf(40), Quantity.Unit.G));
        pizza.put(Product.Type.ONION, new Quantity(BigDecimal.valueOf(20), Quantity.Unit.G));
        pizzaList.add(new Pizza(Pizza.PizzaType.CLASSIC, Pizza.PizzaSize.LARGE, pizza));

class WareHouse :

     foodQuantities.put(Product.Type.ONION, new Product(Product.Type.ONION, BigDecimal.valueOf(5)));
        foodQuantities.put(Product.Type.CHEDDAR, new Product(Product.Type.CHEDDAR, BigDecimal.valueOf(5)));

class Chef:
//The chef cooks, so he reduce the available quantity from ware house by using the neededIngredients from the Recipe.

avilableProducts.computeIfPresent(Product.Type.TOMATO, (k, v) -> v - 0.100);
            avilableProducts.computeIfPresent(Product.Type.CUCUMBER, (k, v) -> v - 0.100);


"Hello Stew, thanks for your service and your continued support of the military, police and their families in fitness and health. I am trying to lose weight and thought I'd try something that would eliminate carbohydrates from my diet for a while? What do you think of that as a weight loss idea?"
Just as a rule - never eliminate the macro-nutrients your body needs such as protein, carbs, or fat from your diet. There are many diets out there that play around with these critical components of our nutrition. HOWEVER, you can definitely LIMIT them in order to see outstanding results. Of course you would want to accompany your eating plan with an exercise routine that had cardio-vascular and resistance training.
For instance, I like to workout first thing in the morning when I wake up. I eat a banana and go do a variety of exercises that include running, swimming, weights, and calisthenics. Some days if I do just cardio workout, I will skip the banana and wait to eat after the workout. After workout, I eat a high protein breakfast with fruits to replace lost carbs and drink water as well. For the rest of the morning, I snack on peanuts, almonds, a fiber rich nutrition bar (no sugar) but only a few carbs and more water.
For lunch I eat a big salad with a large protein source again like tuna or chicken. The salad is filled with high fiber carbs like broccoli, green leafy lettuce like romaine, onions, almonds, maybe even some strawberries to top it off. Squirt some lemon juice or a balsamic vinegar type dressing for some added flavor and good fats.
After lunch, I do not eat any more carbs during the day except those that come in peanuts, almonds, and other nuts for snacks. At this point, my body will still have enough carbs to function properly for the rest of the day. However, if you workout in the evening, you may want to add a few pieces of fruit or vegetables prior to exercise longer than 30 minutes.
During dinner, I have a small salad with large source of protein again. And, if I get hungry during the after dinner hours, I drink more water and have some peanuts, almonds or left over chicken to fill any late evening hunger needs.
This has worked for me to get rid of that last few extra pounds being carried around the mid-section, however dropping sugar is difficult for 2-3 days. After that it is really easy to skip the sweets and white breads. So good luck with the last few pounds and remember to mix in any weight loss plan with a solid fitness routine as many people find that by just adding fitness into their world on a daily basis, they do not have to alter much of their diet. By dropping sugar you will save money, lose extra weight, and make your dentist happy.

ICRS Attendance flat at Christian retail show
Tuesday, 08 July 2014 04:09 PM America/New_York
CBA to revamp convention strategy for 2016
The 2014 International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) convened in Atlanta, June 22-25, with the number of attendees essentially flat, but with significant discussions on the future of Christian retail.
The number of attendees at this year's convention was essentially flat, with CBA reporting buyer attendance up 2.4%. In St. Louis last year, professional attendance for ICRS was down 15% to 1,485 buyers.
Some exhibitors changed their strategy for the show, seeking to rein in costs. Gardenfire and African American Expressions (AAE) opted out, while InterVarsity Press (IVP) just had a table in the international rights area.
"Knowing that CBA is attempting to right-size the event and its costs (much of which are borne by exhibitors), I wanted to pull way back and gauge the impact, knowing that IVP would return in 2016 and beyond when CBA's legacy contracts with convention centers reflecting a very old set of realities were fulfilled and a new model was in place," said Jeff Crosby, IVP's associate publisher and director of sales and marketing.
"The impact was negligible, and what I did feel was largely positive, even beyond the financial," Crosby added. "My colleague in international sales, Diana Verhagen, and I had a very full dance card of strategic meetings."
AAE Sales Manager Ron Gilmore said options are "still open" for 2015, but the company's new approach didn't pan out.
"AAE originally planned to fly me in to walk the floor and visit with some of our vendors there off site for lunch or dinner," Gilmore said. "However, as an exhibitor company, I was not able to accomplish that through CBA. Also, as we looked at our calendar and realized that the Atlanta gift show was right behind this show, we thought we needed to be good stewards of the resources and opted to just go to Atlanta once rather that twice."
Apparel maker Gardenfire, usually a big presence at the show, opted for a pair of gift marts this year, but plans to return to ICRS.
"We chose to spend our budget at the Dallas Market and at a show in Las Vegas this year," Gardenfire owner Jayme Brandt said. "We have a small staff, and I could not do both the ICRS show and Dallas at the same time."
Much of the planned discussion at ICRS focused on reaching millennials as the industry is seeing significant shifts in shopping habits and fluctuations in church attendance, especially in the 18-33 age group.
"Group Publishing's Jeff Michaels said it in an ICRS training session: The market has shifted from boomers, driven by price, to millennials driven by branding, local loyalty and relationship," said Curtis Riskey, president of CBA. "And small Christian stores are in that sweet spot."
Monday's general session panel invited authors Ravi Zacharias, Philip Yancey and Ryan Dobson to address an important question: "Where is Christianity going?"
In that session, the association presented Family Talk's Dr. James Dobson with the ICRS Lifetime Achievement Award.
"His radio interviews alone drove tens of thousands of people to Christian bookstores," Riskey said.
In addition to retailers and vendors, CBA tailored parts of ICRS to the public and to ministry leaders, the latter in conjunction with RBC Ministries.
The new Change A Life Festival, free to the public, saw some big names, including Phil, Alan and "Miss Kay" Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame, and show-stopping band For King & Country. The festival benefited Buckhead Christian Ministry.
ICRS 2015 will be held June 28-July 1 in Orlando, Florida. Arrowhead Conferences and Events, a ministry of Cru, is assisting CBA with revamping its show strategy to lower costs and add greater value. —Johnson

Apple finally allows users to buy parts and fix their own iPhones and other Apple devices
By Wesley Diphoko Nov 18, 2021
Yesterday Apple announced Self Service Repair programme, which will allow customers who are comfortable with completing their own repairs access to Apple genuine parts and tools. Available first for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 line-ups, and soon to be followed by Mac computers featuring M1 chips, Self Service Repair will be available early next year in the US and expand to additional countries throughout 2022. This was a reversal of years of restrictive repair policies by Apple. The announcement follows months of growing pressure from repair activists and regulators.
Customers will join more than 5 000 Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASPs) and 2 800 Independent Repair Providers who have access to these parts, tools, and manuals.
The initial phase of the programme will focus on the most commonly serviced modules, such as the iPhone display, battery, and camera. The ability for additional repairs will be available later next year.
"Creating greater access to Apple genuine parts gives our customers even more choice if a repair is needed," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer. "In the past three years, Apple has nearly doubled the number of service locations with access to Apple genuine parts, tools, and training, and now we're providing an option for those who wish to complete their own repairs."
In May, the Federal Trade Commission came out strongly in favour of independent repair with the release of a report finding "scant evidence" to justify restrictions imposed by companies like Apple. In July, President Joe Biden signed an executive order encouraging the FTC to craft new regulations that would limit the ability of cell phone makers to restrict DIY repair. The spectre of looming regulations was certainly a factor in Apple's decision.

The Red & Black suffered a shock 2-1 defeat last week to Macarthur Rams and will be looking to return to the winners circle and close the three-point gap on league leaders Marconi Stallions.
After dominating for large periods of the match against the Rans, Trevor Morgan's side were unlucky not to get something out of the game, and aside from Abraham Majok's second half strike, they were unable to find a way through Macarthur's tough defensive line.
They'll face a Berries outfit on a high after an impressive 1-0 win over Mounties last week where they snatched the thee points with a 90th minute winner.
Player-coach Perry Moustakas grabbed what was his fifth goal of the season in that match and looms as the biggest threat to the young Wanderers defence.
The Berries sit in eleventh spot on the ladder but are just four points aside the top four and will be no doubt keen to keep touch with the pack.

Aklya Cunningham won the 100-meter dash in a time of 13.57 and took second in the 100-meter hurdles to lead the Polk girls. Jessie Bradley finished second in the 800-meter run and the Polk girls won the 4×400-meter relay.
The Wolverine boys had a handful of first-place efforts:
DeAndre Twitty won the 400 meters in 57.39
Aaron Jackson won the 1600 meters in 5:20.92
Lorenzo Sanchez took the 110-meter hurdles in 17.33 and the long jump with a mark of 17-3.
Polk's 4×400 team won that race in a time of 4:13.55
Nolan Simpson reached 36-0 to win the triple jump
Polk Middle is off next week for spring break, then will return to action on April 26 in the Blue Ridge Conference Championships at Apple Valley.

Mum horrified after finding 'world's deadliest spider' eggs in bunch of BANANAS
A MOTHER got more than she bargained for in her weekly food shop - after discovering eggs believed to be from one of the world's deadliest spiders in a bunch of BANANAS.
By Levi Winchester
16:15, Mon, Sep 8, 2014
Abby Woodgate found eggs belonging to a spider in her bananas [CASCADE]
Abby Woodgate, 30, received the tainted fruit as part of her Tesco delivery - not knowing that she had just brought what is thought to be Brazilian wandering spider eggs into her home.
The mother-of-one initially thought that the bananas just had mould on them - but her suspicion soon turned to terror when she discovered that it was a cocoon hosting dozens of tropical eggs.
She immediately threw the fruit into the bin and used a vacuum cleaner to clear up some eggs which had dropped on the floor.
After dealing with the bananas, Mrs Woodgate called Tesco's Highwoods store - which had delivered the shopping to her in Colchester - and an advisor said they would send someone over.
Soon after, she received a call back to say that pest control experts would be round instead.
"I couldn't believe it when the little cocoon opened," said Mrs Woodgate.
"Even when I saw what was in it - it looked just like frog spawn - I still didn't think the worst.
"But then it dawned on me and I jumped and threw them in the bin."
Upon arrival, experts told her that anything that had been in contact with the deadly eggs would have to be burned - including her vacuum cleaner.

Abby Woodgate
Mrs Woodgate said: "The pest controllers asked where the eggs were and I told them the bin and they said 'right, we'll take that'.
"Then they asked had anything else come into contact with the eggs, and I told them about my vacuum cleaner, so they said 'we'll have to take that too'.
"All they could tell me is they thought they were tropical spider eggs."
Spider experts assured Mrs Woodgate that it was highly unlikely that the tropical eggs would hatch because it is not warm enough for them in the UK.
They also insisted that it was not necessary to fumigate her home.
Mrs Woodgate said: "That's good news, but I'm still on the lookout for anything about the place.
"If I see one, I've been told it's safe to squash it, as you might do other spiders.
"My husband is better at that, so that'll be his job."

Q: Angular Material Dialog and disabling automatic focus on tabbable element The documentation reads:

Once a dialog opens, the dialog will automatically focus the first tabbable element.
You can control which elements are tab stops with the tabindex attribute.

I can't see anything in the documentation or configuration options that allows you to completely disable this feature without having to use additional markup on each tabbable element. It seems a little unnecessary and messy.
eg
Contact us on email@email.com

Is there a configuration option I missing? And if not, I am open to any guidance on how to best approach this.

A: There is an autoFocus attribute that you can set to false on your config that will prevent this from happening. Found it in the dialog-config source.

A: Just to be clear here's an example.
let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogOverviewExampleDialog, {
    autoFocus: false,
    width: '800px',
    disableClose: true,
    data: { 'data': data}
});

Second line (autoFocus: false) will disable the autofocus on dialogs.
You can see more from here.

El Partido Peronista Auténtico o Partido Auténtico fue un partido político de la Argentina creado en 1975 y desaparecido en 1977 al integrarse al Movimiento Peronista Montonero (MPM). El mismo estuvo estrechamente vinculado a la organización guerrillera Montoneros. Su presidente fue Oscar Bidegain.

Origen e Historia

Inicios
El Partido Peronista Auténtico fue creado luego de la muerte del presidente Juan D. Perón por los sectores de la izquierda peronista, como respuesta al predominio en el Partido Justicialista de los sectores "ortodoxos" liderados por María Estela Martínez de Perón y José López Rega. Poco después cambió su nombre a Partido Auténtico, debido a que el Partido Justicialista reclamó judicialmente por el uso del término "peronista" y logró una decisión judicial ordenando la exclusión de esa palabra del nombre del partido.

En marzo de 1975 se formó la Junta Promotora Nacional del Partido Peronista Auténtico que estaba compuesta por Andrés Framini y Dante Viel, por la Capital Federal; Oscar Bidegain, Miguel Zavala Rodríguez, Norberto Habegger, Armando Cabo, y Arnaldo Lizazo por la provincia de Buenos Aires; Jorge Cepernic de Santa Cruz, Antonio Lombardich por la provincia de Córdoba, Felipe Gallardo por la provincia de Chaco, Mario Aguirre por Santa Fe, Gerardo Bavio por Salta, Alberto Martínez Baca por la provincia de Mendoza e Ismael Salame por la provincia de Tucumán.

Entre los dirigentes del partido se encontraban Oscar Bidegain, su presidente, Rodolfo Puiggrós, Raúl Laguzzi, Ricardo Obregón Cano, Julio Suárez, Miguel Bonasso, Juan Gelman.

Las diferencias internas en cuanto a la finalidad del PPA quedaron expuestas en una conferencia de prensa para periodistas extranjeros, del 4 de junio de 1975 en el Círculo Italiano de Buenos Aires. Por una parte Andrés Framini afirmó que el partido, ante la falta de democracia interna dentro del justicialismo, pretendía reemplazar al Partido Justicialista como "herramienta electoral del movimiento peronista … vamos a tener que hacer un frente de todos los argentinos para salvar la patria", en tanto en la misma ocasión Miguel Zavala Rodríguez - en tanto representante no formal de Montoneros en la cúpula del PPA - dijo que: "El Peronismo Auténtico, el pueblo todo, quiere retomar esas banderas traicionadas, ensaya muchos caminos y el ideal de justicia inspira a todos ellos. En este contexto el PPA se propone dar la batalla por la liberación en los planos legal, constitucional y electoral….si se opta por coartarnos ese camino y solo se nos ofrece la represión, es posible que se produzcan una serie de situaciones fuera de nuestro propio control y del control del gobierno".El punto de vista de Montoneros se expresó claramente en la revista Evita Montonera, en la que se afirmaba que el PPA no debía excederse de la esfera electoral, sólo era una más de las herramientas con las que el peronismo revolucionario debería responder a las tácticas del régimen que en ese momento presidía Isabel Perón.

La relación entre el sector de los dirigentes con trayectoria dentro del peronismo y los nuevos llegados al partido de la mano de
Montoneros no estuvo libre de tensiones, en las que gravitaron la actitud de los dirigentes montoneros vinculados a la estructura partidaria Roberto Perdía y Diego Latorre y el aumento de la acción armada. Fue así que el PPA condenó públicamente el asesinato del general Jorge Esteban Cáceres Monié y su esposa y el asalto al cuartel R29 en Formosa.

Por su parte Héctor J. Cámpora prefirió mantenerse alejado del PPA, incluso tras su expulsión del Partido Justicialista en abril de 1975 y cuando al fin de ese año volvió a la Argentina su propósito era luchar desde las propias estructuras del peronismo.

El 13 de abril de 1975, el Partido Auténtico, se presentó a elecciones en la provincia de Misiones, formando una alianza electoral con el partido Tercera Posición, obteniendo un 5% de los votos. El 24 de diciembre de 1975, el partido fue declarado ilegal por el gobierno de Isabel Perón.

Cese de operaciones y escisiones
Pablo Giussani, en su libro Montoneros, la soberbia armada, sostiene que gran parte de las personas asesinadas por la organización parapolicial llamada Triple A fueron identificadas a través de los padrones de afiliados del Partido Auténtico. Luego del [[Golpes de Estado en Argentina#golpe del 24 de marzo de 1976|golpe militar del 24 de marzo de 1976 que estableció la dictadura autodenominada Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, la mayoría de sus dirigentes debieron exiliarse. El 20 de abril de 1977, en Roma, el Partido Peronista Auténtico fue cofundador del Movimiento Peronista Montonero, integrándose al mismo.

Hacia 1979 surgió una escisión llamada Peronismo Montonero Auténtico que duró pocos meses y es notable por sus constantes deserciones y falta de acciones significativas y de mando, además de intentar crear una coalición de fuerzas democráticas, progresistas y revolucionarias y tratar de convocar tanto a nuevos militantes como a militantes experimentados que quedaban exiliados en el extranjero. El grupo quería "revertir los daños" del papel asignado por la Trilateral a la Argentina y su repudio a esa política, planes de rotación a otros dictadores por parte del Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, lucha por la democracia, su exigencia del cese del abuso de derechos humanos, plena vigencia de los derechos sindicales y llevando la bandera de la Justicia Social, Independencia Económica y Soberanía Política que buscarían ser el camino nacional hacia una Argentina Pluralista, Democrática y Socialista.

Setback for Chidambaram, SC Refuses him Anticipatory Bail in INX Media PMLA Case
The apex court dismissed Chidambaram's appeal challenging the August 20 verdict of the Delhi High Court denying him anticipatory bail in the case lodged by Enforcement Directorate (ED) saying there were no grounds warranting interference with the order.

New Delhi: In a setback to former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, the Supreme Court Thursday denied him anticipatory bail in the INX Media money laundering case saying granting him relief would "hamper the investigation" and the ED has to be given "sufficient freedom" in conducting the probe.
The apex court, which held that this is "not a fit case" to grant relief to Chidambaram, said economic offences stand as a different class as they affect "economic fabric of the society" and "extraordinary power" of granting anticipatory bail has to be exercised sparingly in such cases.
Around an hour after his petition for anticipatory bail in the money laundering case was dismissed by the top court, Chidambaram preferred to "unconditionally" withdraw his separate plea against non-bailable warrant and subsequent remand orders of the trial court in the INX Media corruption case lodged by the CBI.
Withdrawal of plea in the corruption case paved the way for Chidambaram being sent to Tihar jail as later in the day, a Delhi court remanded him to judicial custody till September 19 in the corruption case after he was produced before it following the expiry of his 15-day CBI remand.
The trial court was informed about the apex court's verdict in the ED case and also about the withdrawal of his plea in the CBI case.
In its judgement in the ED case, the top court said granting anticipatory bail at the stage of investigation might frustrate the probe agency in interrogating the accused, collecting useful information as also material which might have been concealed.
The high court had also rejected his pre-arrest bail in the corruption case lodged by CBI in which he was arrested on August 21 night and has been subjected to custodial interrogation for 15 days, which comes to an end today.
On Thursday, a bench of Justices R Banumathi and A S Bopanna, while dealing with the ED case, said that "success in such interrogation would elude if the accused knows that he is protected by the order of the court".
"Grant of anticipatory bail, particularly in economic offences would definitely hamper the effective investigation. Having regard to the materials said to have been collected by the respondent-Enforcement Directorate and considering the stage of the investigation, we are of the view that it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail," the bench said.
"Having regard to the nature of allegations and the stage of the investigation, in our view, the investigating agency has to be given sufficient freedom in the process of investigation," the bench said in its 57-page judgement.
The bench further said, "Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, in our view, grant of anticipatory bail to the appellant (Chidambaram) will hamper the investigation and this is not a fit case for exercise of discretion to grant anticipatory bail to the appellant."
However, the top court was critical of the high court judge, who had delivered the August 20 verdict, for "verbatim" quoting the note produced before him by ED and said it was "not a correct approach for consideration of grant/refusal of anticipatory bail."
Dealing with contentions of Chidambaram's lawyers that anticipatory bail is a facet of Article 21 of Constitution, the bench said court must also keep in view that a criminal offence is not just an offence against an individual, rather the larger societal interest is at stake.
"Therefore, a delicate balance is required to be established between the two rights - safeguarding the personal liberty of an individual and the societal interest. It cannot be said that refusal to grant anticipatory bail would amount to denial of the rights conferred upon the appellant under Article 21 of the Constitution of India," it said.
The bench did not accept the contention of Chidambaram's lawyers that ED be directed to produce transcripts of his interrogation on three dates -- December 12 last year and January 1 and 21 this year -- so that it could be seen whether his answers to the questions put to him were evasive or not.
"Interrogation of the accused and the answers elicited from the accused and the opinion whether the answers given by the accused are 'satisfactory' or 'evasive', is purely within the domain of the investigating agency and the court cannot substitute its views by conducting mini trial at various stages of the investigation," the bench said.
The bench dealt with the issue whether courts can look into material collected by probe agency during investigation without the accused being first confronted with them.
"Where the interest of justice requires, the court has the powers, to receive the case diary/materials collected during the investigation," the bench said.
It said Chidambaram can approach concerned court in accordance with law and as and when application for regular bail is filed, it should be considered by trial court on its own merits without being influenced by the observations made by the apex court and the high court.
CBI had lodged an FIR on May 15, 2017, alleging irregularities in Foreign Investment Promotion Board clearance granted to INX Media group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram's tenure as finance minister. Thereafter, the ED lodged a money laundering case in 2017.

SAVE OUR FILM: LA CIUDAD
The groundbreaking neo-realist film LA CIUDAD (THE CITY) is being remastered for new audiences. And for the future.
David Riker
Project We Love New York, NY Film & Video
Dear Backers, I am overwhelmed by your incredible support! Thanks to you we hit our initial goal in the first 10 days -- and LA CIUDAD will be preserved! To all of you who are finding out about our campaign for the first time, we welcome your support. Every new backer makes a difference!
Our hope now is to raise funds to make the film available internationally. For those of you who have written from outside the US, we are offering a brand new reward of a digital download anywhere in the world -- the Walter Salles!
For more updates about this project please follow us on facebook.com
Join us to help save this film!
All funds from this campaign will go towards the costs of remastering LA CIUDAD and ensuring that it is available for new audiences -- on DVD and BLU-RAY, at community and educational screenings, and for the first time ever on digital platforms. Every contribution counts. Please help us spread the word!
What is LA CIUDAD about?
I'm David Riker, the writer and director of LA CIUDAD.
LA CIUDAD tells four stories about the lives of newly uprooted Latin American immigrants in New York City: a group of day laborers hired to clean bricks find themselves abandoned when tragedy strikes; a young man newly arrived from Mexico falls in love with a girl from his home village, only to lose her in the new and alien urban wilderness; a puppeteer, living with his daughter in a station wagon, dreams that she'll one day learn to read; and a seamstress, desperate to send money home to her sick daughter, is forced to finally confront the injustice in the sweatshop where she labors.
What inspired me to make this film?
I wanted to explore what it means to be an immigrant today -- uprooted, often alone, and largely invisible -- forced to live in the shadows of an alien world. I had long been inspired by the Italian neo-realist films, whose socially committed stories were rooted in everyday reality, but expressed in a lyrical visual language.
LA CIUDAD was filmed over the course of six years, and was created through a unique and profound collaboration between the filmmakers and the immigrant community. All of the stories were developed in workshops with the immigrants later acting in the very roles they helped to create.

Developing the story for 'Seamstress' with garment workers
Making the film was a transformative experience for me, as well as for many of the immigrants involved, most of them undocumented, who chose to step out of the shadows of their lives and stand in front of the camera for the first time. Their reasons for participating were many, but all of them were determined that their stories should be heard.
Working with garment workers during the filming of 'Seamstress'
Because of the special way the film was made, it has a rare authenticity, expressing the essence of what it feels like to be an immigrant today. Above all, LA CIUDAD made the immigrant worker visible.
What has happened with the film thus far?
LA CIUDAD was released in theaters fifteen years ago to critical acclaim. Roger Ebert called the film 'A movie to treasure,' reminiscent of 'The Bicycle Thief.' Variety claimed, 'it can take its place beside such postwar neo-realist classics as Rossellini's 'Paisan' and Buñuel's 'Los Olvidados,' while The Washington Post wrote: 'It is very simply a great film.'
Mariachis play at community premiere of film in New York City
The film premiered at Toronto and won numerous international awards including the Open Palm Award from the Independent Feature Project, Best Narrative Feature at SXSW, the Nestor Alemendros Prize from the Human Rights Watch Festival, and Best Film by a Non-Latin American Director at the Havana Film Festival.

Why are we on Kickstarter?
Today LA CIUDAD is virtually impossible to see. The DVD is out of print and the company that released it -- New Yorker Films -- has sadly closed. The few 35mm prints that still exist are old and battered, and there are fewer and fewer venues that are equipped to project film today. Most critically, the film was never mastered for digital platforms, and until now has not been available for online audiences.
We are determined to ensure that the film remains available and can reach new audiences today and in the future. Cinema Conservancy, the Princess Grace Foundation, and the Sundance Collection at UCLA have already joined the effort, but we need your help.
Thanks for visiting our Kickstarter page -- we can't wait to share LA CIUDAD with all of you!
Please watch our Kickstarter video above to learn more!

The black and white photograph will be an 8 x 10 inch custom fiber print, and is part of a collection of casting photographs taken by director David Riker and still photographer Victor Sira during production.
Shipping is included on any reward that requires shipment.
What is your Kickstarter goal? What will the money go to?
Our goal is to raise $14,000. The funds will be used to help cover the costs of digitally remastering the film, creating a new DVD and BLU-RAY, and supporting our efforts to bring the film to new audiences across the country.
Can you exceed the goal?
Yes we can! The more funds we raise, the more successful we will be at raising awareness about the film and reaching new audiences.
Can donors increase pledges once they have been made?
Absolutely! If you have already donated, and are signed in to your account, then instead of a green "Back This Project" button on our page, there should be a blue "Manage Your Donation" button. Click that, and you can enter a new amount or choose a new incentive!
What happens if the goal isn't reached in time?
If we don't reach our goal, LA CIUDAD receives no funding for its marketing and distribution. Let's not let that happen!
I want more information…

The greatest risk in remastering any film is the quality of the original elements. LA CIUDAD was shot on 16mm and blown up to 35mm before its original theatrical release in 1998. These elements have all been stored at DuArt Film Laboratory in New York until last year, and have now been transferred to Technicolor New York where the remastering will be done. The elements have already been scanned at 2K resolution and are in pristine quality.

Italy takes plastic—in fact, credit cards are usually the easiest and most-cost effective method of paying for anything while traveling. Yes, Italy takes plastic.
Every merchant from the museum gift shops and train ticket machines right on down to the majority (though not all) of the mom-and-pop shops, hotels, B&Bs, and trattorias.
Using credit cards is by far the cheapest way to pay for things in Italy—indeed, any foreign country. The exchange rates averge 9% better than even cash withdrawls from an ATM (the second chepeast way to pay for things).
You do, however, have to be careful of foreign transaction fees (which can add on 1% to 4%), the chip-and-PIN revolution in Europe that is rending many North American credit cards obsolete, cash advance fees, and remember to take a few minutes to notify the bank of your foriegn travel plans to avoid having your cards frozen while you're on the road.
More on each of these issues below.
Contrary to the old commercials, you can leave home without American Express (www.americanexpress.com) and never notice the difference.
Visa (www.visa.com) and MasterCard (www.mastercard.com) are much more widely accepted in Italy these days, partly because they've partnered with major European cards, and partly because AMEX charges higher fees to the merchants and is slower in paying them, so many small family businesses have stopped accepting it, arguing—with a good point—that nowadays "Everybody has Visa!"
Diner's Club (www.dinersclub.com) is accepted in many places (though usually, as expected, only the pricier joints). So is Japan's JCB (which I throw in there in case any Japanese people happen to be reading this.).
Discover or any other card will only elicit a raised eyebrow of curiosity and shake of the head from your waiter or merchant; leave any other card at home.
You can get much more on financial issues at the excellent financial planning sites BankRate.com (bankrate.com) and Card Hub (cardhub.com) and at this wiki on FlyerGuide.com.
While paying with credit cards does get you a better exchange rate than with cash, know that Visa itself imposes a 1% "commission" for foreign purchases/cash advances.
Many Visa-issuing banks—recognizing yet another good way to fleece its own customers—tack on additional 1%, 2%, or even 3% "commissions" of their own.
They will tell you this is a banking fee for performing the currency exchange.
It's all electronic, so there's really nothing to "exchange" in the first place.
These extra few percentage points your bank is charging is 100% profit for them, pure and simple, and they are stealing it from you.
Luckily, there is a way around this: a low-fee credit card.
Your best bet for a friendly, low-fee credit card is a credit union, a small local bank, an online bank, or one of the rare large banks that do not overcharge.
Call your card's issuing bank before you travel to let it know that you're taking a trip.
If you do not notify the credit card issuing company of intended forign travel in advance, you may find your card frozen when you try to use it abroad.
Most banks have a computerized watchdog that monitors your card's use, looking for radical changes in the frequency or location of charges. When it finds suspicious charges, it freezes the account.
Ideally, this system alerts them if someone steals your card and goes on a shopping spree, but it has the unfortunate side effect of leaving travelers in the lurch, because on a typical vacation you're (a) charging more than usual and (b) charging it from strange places.
The U.S. is woefully behind the rest of the world when it comes to implementing advanced technology in everyday life.
Japanese and European cell phones (and networks) are better, many cities now use radio cards for public transport that you just wave at the turnstile while waltzing though (in Hong Kong, you can use your Metro card to buy snacks at 7-11), and many countries are now using more advanced credit cards called "chip and PIN" with computer chips built in (rather than just the magnetic stripe; note, this is different from the radio chip in an AMEX Blue card).
Why do I risk the wrath of my more zealously patriotic fellow citizens by pointing all this out?
To all of them, your old-school Visa with the magnetic strip is just a worthless slab of plastic. It simply will not work.
Best I can figure, the chipcard-only phenomenon started in Scandinavia, but it's spreading.
In the fall of 2010, I was actually turned away from a shop in Leipzig, Germany; their store policy —printed right by the register—was "smartcards only."
In fall, 2011, I was unable to rent a bike in Dublin from the cheap public stands because they only accepted chip-and-PIN cards.
A month later, I found I could not use the automated gas pumps in New Zealand.
Get a Travelex Cash Passport, currently the ONLY chip-and-pin card available to the general American market. It's a pre-paid card, so you have to fill it up with cash before you leave—and the exchange rate is an abysmal 14%–15% worse than with credit cards—but it can come in darn useful (www.us.travelex.com).
Also: pester your bank—repeatedly—to get with the program.
As of 2012, a few American banks are starting to experiment with chip cards (Citi, Chase, and U.S. Bank all now offer some card with a chip, though usually they are all annual fee cards).
Unfortunately, in the true, backwards fashion we've come to expect from our banks, most are issuing only baby-step chip-and-signature cards. These have a chip, and so will be recognized by the machines, but no PIN.
For purchases of less than $50, this is usually not a problem, as no PIN is required on those.
For larger purchases, your larval-stage chip-and0signature card will cause most card readers manned by an actual person (such as at a store or restaurant) to spit out a receipt for you to sign, so again, no problem.
For charges greater than $50 at an automated machine, well, there you may run into problems as you will need a PIN.
(Note: some banks will issue a PIN with your chip-and-signature card, but this is to access the cash advance feature, which means any purchases made using it will be charged interest at the highest possible rate—usually 21%—and start accrusing immediately, not at the end of a monthly cycle in which you do not fully pay off the card, as with most purchases).
Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase have each made limited numbers of what they call E.M.V. cards available to select customers. They have a chip and PIN, and they will work abroad.
Keep apprised of news on this subject at www.creditcards.com and the forums at FlyerTalk.com.
Some credit cards are now charging exorbitant "transaction fees"—plus a laughably inflated APR, which starts accruing immediately—for each cash advance through a credit card, so read the fine print carefully when choosing which Visa card to use on the road.
Use cash advances only in emergencies. These credit card folks are counting on your complacency to keep milking you for money. Don't give them the satisfaction.
Whenever you get a cash advance on a credit card, the bank starts charging you interest immediately , not after the end of the billing cycle's month as they do with purchases.
That means if you take out $200 on the first day of a two-week trip, for two weeks the credit card issuer will be charging you the highest possible interest rate (not that introductory 9.67%, but the industry ceiling of 18% or more), compounded daily, and will continue to do so until you pay your entire credit card bill all the way down.
They often also tack on a one-time "service fee" of $5 or more as well.
You may be able to avoid all this, however, by being a bit sneaky: They can only charge you interest if you're carrying a balance. The trick is to make sure you never carry a balance on the card by overpaying your bill (by however much you expect to withdraw in cash advances, plus purchases) the month before you leave.
It's silly, but it usually works.


In 2017, the Minnesota legislature designated $1 million in funding to establish the Minnesota Workforce Scholarship Pilot for students pursuing college programs in the high demand career areas of advanced manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare services and information technology.
This Thursday, February 15 from 12 - 1 p.m., South Central College officials and area legislators will award the first 16 of these $2,500 scholarships to new students planning to start in one of these program areas in fall 2018. In addition to the $40,000 in scholarships provided by the legislature, SCC's campus foundations are awarding an additional $10,000 in scholarships, bringing the total to $50,000.
The scholarship presentation is part of South Central College's 3rd Annual Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day at the college's two campuses at 1225 Third St. SW in Faribault and 1920 Lee Blvd. in North Mankato. South Central College's Signing Day event is part of National Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day, which is held each year at colleges throughout the country to honor students who are entering a technical field. Just like NCAA collegiate athletics signings, participants will ink their intentions to start a technical program at South Central College in fall 2018. This year there will be 27 students participating in Signing Day on SCC's Faribault campus and 76 on the North Mankato campus. Complete information on Signing Day is available at www.southcentral.edu/signingday.
"We are grateful to the legislature and our foundations for their significant investment in these future South Central College students. The scholarships will greatly benefit the students, as well as the employers that are fortunate enough to hire them once their education is complete," said Dr. Annette Parker, president of South Central College.
Minnesota Workforce Development Scholarships will continue to be awarded at Minnesota State colleges throughout the state until March 30, 2018.
South Central College's campus foundations award more than $400,000 in scholarships each year, with an application deadline of March 2, 2018 for most fall 2018 scholarships.

Q: How receive a HTTP GET for transcribeCallback when recording a call with the verb ? How receive a HTTP GET for transcribeCallback when recording a call with the verb  ?
twiml.record({
            action: '/process_recording?callID=,
            method: 'GET',
            timeout: '15',
            maxLength: '120',
            finishOnKey: '*',
            transcribe: 'true',
            playBeep: 'true',
            transcribeCallback: '/process_transcription
I'm getting a GET request on the process_recording url but a POST request on the process_transcription url
I'm using parse Cloud Code to handle the url requests and I'm getting the following error on the express routing from Parse Cloud Code:
Express Routing Error: Cannot POST /process_transcription
Is there any way to make twilio make a GET request instead of a POST request on the transcribeCallback????

A: Twilio Evangelist here.
I do not believe there is a way to set the method on the transcription callback. I've not used Parse myself, but I'm pretty sure it can handle POST requests. Could you post some code?


Been an amateur bird feeder most of my life…watching the juveniles on the pond bank and cattails….helping the parents with 2nd brood (can only assume)…..saw female adult or juvenile drop something white while hanging from cattail…..it sunk so it had to have weight….guess they were cleaning house.
This is my first year to observe red wings nest in pond. They are so much fun. Watching the male chase a heron was a sight to see.

A Union for New South Wales
The Australian Workers' Union is a large, diverse union, representing a variety of workers across a broad range of industries.
The AWU has a long and proud history in New South Wales. We have served generations of members across the state since the 1880s.
Together, we aim to improve wages and working conditions, defend rights at work and build a fairer stronger community across NSW.
The AWU NSW Branch was established in September 2016 after the three NSW located Branches (Greater NSW, Newcastle and Port Kembla) amalgamated. The coming together of the three NSW Branches combined the historic, organisational, financial and administrative strengths of each into one powerful State Branch.
A Union of Diversity
The AWU New South Wales Branch represents workers employed in a wide range of industries, including accommodation and food services, arts and recreation, civil construction, public administration, funeral services, manufacturing, technical works, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, forestry and much, much more!
As the state of NSW itself, the AWU NSW Branch is multicultural. Our members and staff are made up of hard-working people from various backgrounds and have different technical specialities and expert knowledge in their fields. Our Union is an equal opportunity employer and we seek to have built a branch that reflects the incredible diversity of the country.
A Union of Members
The AWU New South Wales Branch is made up of thousands of members and delegates who are supported by a dedicated team of organisers, legal officers and administrative staff. Collectively we are dedicated to the same goal of building a better society.
Along with our head office at Granville, we have seven regional offices located in Newcastle Mayfield, Wollongong, Canberra, Grafton, Tamworth, Wagga Wagga, and Griffith.
Please visit Contact Us for the full details on our NSW metropolitan and regional offices.
A Union of Power
The AWU is a not-for-profit organisation that is proudly owned and led by AWU members. We aim to protect one another at work, strengthen our industries and stand by one another when times are tough.
We work closely with our alliance partners to achieve wins for our members, secure jobs and better wage and deliver justice at the workplace and beyond.
We stand together; we are stronger together.
