AMY GOODMAN:
After I finished my interview with David Korten with Juan, I learned that he and his wife, Fran Korten, had lived in Indonesia for years, where Fran worked with Barack Obama's mother Ann Soetoro at the Ford Foundation. So we'll end today looking at the life of Barack Obama's mother.
She was born Stanley Ann Dunham in 1942 in Kansas. At the age of eighteen, she married Barack Obama, a Kenyan student studying here in the US. Their only son was born on August 4, 1961. Within a few years, the couple got a divorce, and by '67, Ann married another grad student, an Indonesian man named Lolo Soetoro. In 1967, Ann, Lolo and Barack moved to Indonesia. Barack's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, was born three years later. In '71, Barack was sent back to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents. Ann Dunham Soetoro worked in Indonesia for years. At the age of fifty-two, she died of ovarian cancer.
Barack Obama wrote about his mother in the preface to his first book, Dreams from My Father.
BARACK OBAMA: Most of the characters in this book were made a part of my life, albeit in varying degrees — a function of work, children, geography and turns of fate.
The exception is my mother, whom we lost, with a brutal swiftness, to cancer a few months after this book was originally published.
She had spent the previous ten years doing what she loved. She traveled the world, working in the distant villages of Asia and Africa, helping women buy a sewing machine or a milk cow or an education that might give them a foothold in the world's economy. She gathered friends from high and low, took long walks, stared at the moon, and foraged through the local markets of Delhi or Marrakech for some trifle, a scarf or stone carving that would make her laugh or please the eye. She wrote reports, read novels, pestered her children, and dreamed of grandchildren.
We saw each other frequently, our bond unbroken. During the writing of this book, she would read the drafts, correcting stories that I had misunderstood, careful not to comment on my characterizations of her but quick to explain or defend the less flattering aspects of my father's character. She managed her illness with grace and good humor, and she helped my sister and me push on with our lives, despite our dread, our denials, our sudden constrictions of the heart.
I think sometimes that had I known she would not survive her illness, I might have written a different book — less a meditation on the absent parent, more a celebration of the one who was the single constant in my life. In my daughters I see her every day, her joy, her capacity for wonder. I won't try to describe how deeply I mourn her passing still. I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.
AMY GOODMAN: Barack Obama reading from his book Dreams from My Father.
Well, last week I had a chance to speak with Fran Korten. She's the executive director of YES! Magazine. She joined me in the firehouse studio to talk for the first time about her friendship with Barack Obama's mother, Ann Soetoro. I asked her to describe how she met her.
FRAN KORTEN: I worked for the Ford Foundation for five years in Indonesia.
AMY GOODMAN: What years were these?
FRAN KORTEN: This was 1983 to 1988. And Ann Soetoro worked in the office right next door to mine. And our homes, in fact, were just a block apart. And we rode in the carpool together every day. So, for two years — and then she left the Ford Foundation before I went on. So, for two years we saw each other every single day and were in many meetings together, and —-
AMY GOODMAN: Describe her for us.
FRAN KORTEN: You know, when I see Barack Obama's calmness, I see that is his mother. She was extremely low key, calm, unflappable, clear, and kind of solid in her way of being, rather quiet. I actually didn't -— I did not know much about her family. When I read Dreams of My Father, I was kicking myself for not having asked her more about her very interesting life and kind of discovered, wow, there was a lot there that I didn't know, even though I knew her well, as a Ford Foundation colleague, and her work, particularly with women in the villages of Indonesia.
AMY GOODMAN: Explain what it is that she did. What was her portfolio there?
FRAN KORTEN: She had a women's portfolio. The Ford Foundation divides its programs up by different emphases, and her work was to help economic development in villages through women's organizations. So, that was kind of an unusual way of approaching things in the country, a male-dominated country, although, in Southeast Asia, women often control the money. So, there were many avenues for helping women economically, and that was her work, and she spent a lot of time in villages.
AMY GOODMAN: Doing exactly what?
FRAN KORTEN: Well, the truth is, I don't really know a lot of the details. I know that she later went on to do a lot of this micro-lending work, where women's groups get small loans in order to, for example, develop a business in sewing clothes or in making some kind of food, like there's a soybean product called tempeh, and very popular in Indonesia. So, one could imagine that women's groups were encouraging this kind of entrepreneurship.
And there was also always a women's empowerment side to this work. So you're not only helping them earn a little more money, but you're helping them think of themselves differently. And I know that that was very much part of Ann's thinking about her role as a change agent in that country.
AMY GOODMAN: And did you ever meet Barack, "Barry," as a little boy?
FRAN KORTEN: Yeah — I didn't. He wasn't a little boy when we were there. He was actually at Occidental College. So, his sister was about —-
AMY GOODMAN: Maya.
FRAN KORTEN: —- thirteen or fourteen. His sister Maya, his half-sister, the daughter of his mother and her Indonesian husband. So, Barack, by that time — I've kind of done a little of the math —- I think he was about twenty-one at the time that I knew Ann. And he may have flown back to Indonesia and visited her when I was there, but I never met him. I remember her talking about her son, and I knew she had a son, but it was Maya that was the presence for us. And -—
AMY GOODMAN: Because she went to school with your daughters?
FRAN KORTEN: She went to school. Our kids went to the International School, and Maya was there also. And partly because we lived just a block away —-
AMY GOODMAN: From each other.
FRAN KORTEN: Yes. Our home was some distance from the office. And so, the kids, you know, they rode the bus home together from school. And so, she was one of their good friends.
AMY GOODMAN: So, it was the girls that got in trouble together with Maya?
FRAN KORTEN: Yeah, there was my daughters that got in trouble together with Maya.
AMY GOODMAN: Very little is really talked about Ann Soetoro, because she died of cancer -—
FRAN KORTEN: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: — what, when she was something like fifty-two, remarkably enough, I think they said. When did you realize that the Ann you knew, that you carpooled with, the woman you worked next door with at the Ford Foundation in Jakarta — when did you know that she was the mother of the man who was rising through the ranks in Chicago, really soaring, as he became, now, of course, president?
FRAN KORTEN: I think it was in about — before Barack ran for president, but after his famous 2004 speech, so when he was on the rise. I got an email from the Jakarta office of the Ford Foundation, and they asked me, "Fran, do you remember an Ann Soetoro? And were you at the office when she was there?" And they said, "We are writing because she is the mother of Barack Obama, and we think that the press may be asking us." When I read that email, I almost fell off my chair. I had absolutely no idea. I, of course, had followed Barack Obama, but without any awareness that this was the son of my friend and colleague from the Jakarta office of the Ford Foundation.
AMY GOODMAN: Because, of course, they don't have the same last name.
FRAN KORTEN: They don't have the same last name.
AMY GOODMAN: And he was Barry at the time.
FRAN KORTEN: And he was Barry. And, you know, you're kind of like — I just didn't know that at all. And what they said was they were interested to know what I could remember of her work, because the Ford Foundation office had been flooded, and all of the papers had been turned to mush. So, they actually did not have the records of the work that she had done. So they were interested to know what I could remember.
AMY GOODMAN: Did Barack and Ann look alike?
FRAN KORTEN: Not even a little bit. She is a rather largish woman and not very tall. And, of course, he is thin as a rail and quite tall. And she, of course, is a European, white American, and he is a multicultural man that in America we consider black. So, yeah, there was nothing, no clues for me to make this connection to Ann.
AMY GOODMAN: Are there any particular stories you remember with Ann?
FRAN KORTEN: Well, there's one really striking one for me. I was driving my daughter to school — to a theater rehearsal in the evening. And in the middle of an incredibly chaotic traffic situation, which is typical, as you well know, in Indonesia, and a torrential downpour, my car stalled. And I got some guys to push the car. But when they did it, they pushed it so that one tire was in the canal. And I got out to deal with this chaos, and my daughter went around and locked the doors. So, I now had a stalled car with one tire in the canal with locked doors and the keys inside.
So I went to a nearby doctor's clinic that was right by the side of the road, and I made a phone call to Ann Soetoro, Barack Obama's mother, and I explained the situation of my car. And I remember her response so vividly to this day. She said in Indonesian, she said, "Mana bisa? How can that be?" She was just very calm, gave me some good advice about what to do next. And I often think that when I see Barack Obama's coolness and his calmness in the face of whatever crises, it harkens back for me to that moment when she responded to my plea for help in the face of a very perplexing situation for me that was so at ease and clear.
AMY GOODMAN: So now, maybe, it's only Democracy Now! listeners, viewers and readers who will understand when Barack Obama is confronted with a massive global problem, and he mutters, "Mana bisa?"
FRAN KORTEN: That's it. "How can this be?" I'm sure that those thoughts must run through his mind as he looks at the financial meltdown or the mess in Iraq and in Afghanistan: "Mana bisa? How can this be?"
AMY GOODMAN: Fran Korten, executive director of YES! Magazine, worked with Barack Obama's mother Ann Soetoro at the Ford Foundation in Indonesia for several years.

Long-term Survivors
Long-Term Survivor Mural On Its Way
The permanent San Francisco installation will honor those still standing after living through the original HIV/AIDS epidemic.
By Desirée Guerrero
June 06 2019 11:19 AM EDT
Long-term survivors of HIV are about to get a permanent tribute to their strength and resilience, thanks to a mural being commissioned by Openhouse, a housing nonprofit for LGBTQ seniors based in San Francisco, for the community center it is currently in the process of building.
Openhouse put out a call for artists on its blog late last month. The mural is being timed to be completed for the grand opening of the community center in September, which coincides with National HIV & Aging Awareness Day.
According to Charles Renfroe, the project manager, the mural is the first of its kind. When trying to think of a comparable memorial, Renfroe stated in a recent press release, "In 2004, there were very unique 'survivor's knots' installed on roadways in New York and Connecticut by artist and long-term survivor Steed Taylor, but those tattoo-inspired murals gradually faded and are gone now."
Openhouse was founded in 1998 to provide LGBTQ senior citizens with affordable housing options. With the organization estimating that as much as 30 percent of its local target population is HIV-positive, it is uniquely suited to recognize long-term survivors.
In efforts to ensure that they (and their fellow survivors from around the world) are represented by someone who understands their specific concerns and anxieties, a review board was made up of 10 long-term survivors, including Let's Kick ASS: AIDS Survivor Syndrome founder, Tez Anderson. The board is only considering artists living with or affected by HIV to create the mural.
"Hosting the Living Wall Tribute fits right in with our mission to help LGBTQ seniors and older adults overcome the unique challenges they face as they age by providing housing, direct services and community building programs," stated Openhouse's executive director, Karyn Skultety, in the same press release.
Funded by $250,000 worth of capital from pharmaceutical giant Gilead Sciences, the installation will be located at the community center's "physical and emotional center," as Renfroe described it to POZ magazine.
To be located in San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood, the center will feature at least 79 affordable housing units for people age 62 and older. Many of its future residents will be long-term HIV survivors themselves.
"This tribute," Skultety said, "will demonstrate that [long-term survivors] are seen, appreciated, and celebrated."

We are weeks away till the final season of hit fantasy series 'Game Of Thrones' hits our screens and HBO has announced that it will be airing a two-hour documentary about the filming of the final season.
Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal report from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. The documentary delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland.
Acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay who is directing the documentary, was embedded on the Game Of Thrones set, chronicling the creation of the show's most ambitious and complicated season. His previous credits include the documentaries "Seahorse," "Orion: The Man Who Would Be King," "Pantomime," "The Great Hip Hop Hoax", etc.
The eighth and final season of GAME OF THRONES will debut in Asia same time as the U.S. on Monday, 15 April at 9am, with a same day encore at 10pm. The series will also be available on HBO On Demand. New episodes will premiere every Monday at the same time.


Paramount's Pain and Gain rounded out its first week in theatres with one last first place finish of $1.10 million on Thursday. Not surprisingly Pain and Gain was down a sharp 16 percent from Wednesday, as moviegoers obviously started turning their attention and their dollars towards Disney's Iron Man 3 last night. Pain and Gain was the week's top film with a seven-day start of $26.32 million. While that was on the high end of expectations, it is quite likely that the Michael Bay directed film starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson will continue to drop off quickly going forward as a result of lackluster word of mouth and the crowded May release schedule.
Iron Man 3 was off to a strong late night launch with an estimated $15.6 million from 9 p.m. and midnight shows. As is now commonplace, all of Thursday night's grosses will be counted towards Friday's opening day performance. The late night performance of Iron Man 3 was far stronger than the $7.5 million 2010's Iron Man 2 grossed at midnight and a bit below the $18.7 million midnight take of last year's Marvel's The Avengers. Check back throughout the weekend for further updates on the box office progress of Iron Man 3.
Turning back to Thursday's box office chart, Universal's Oblivion placed in second with $0.929 million. Like Pain and Gain, Oblivion was down sharply from Wednesday, as it fell 21 percent. The Joseph Kosinski directed sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise finished in second this week with $22.88 million. That was down 52 percent from the film's opening week performance and brings the film's two-week total to $70.17 million.
While most wide releases decreased on Thursday, Warner's 42 was an exception. The Jackie Robinson biopic was up 4 percent from Wednesday to gross $0.713 million for the day. 42 placed in third for the week with $13.77 million. That represented a solid 38 percent decline from the previous frame and brings the film's three-week total to a stronger than expected $72.13 million.
Lionsgate's The Big Wedding landed in fourth with $0.578 million. The ensemble comedy fell 7 percent from Wednesday. The Big Wedding placed in fourth for the week with a seven-day start of $10.33 million. That was a bit softer than the film's already modest pre-release expectations and was lackluster for a wedding themed film at this time of year.
In limited release, Roadside's Mud wrapped up its very respectable first week of release with $185,554 on Thursday. The drama starring Matthew McConaughey grossed $3.01 million this week from 363 locations. That gave Mud a healthy per-location average of $8,286 for the frame. Mud is expanding into more locations today and will be playing in 576 locations this week.

Lab protesters face contempt charge
Robert Cogswell of Speak
Two members of the animal rights group Speak could be sent to prison for refusing to provide a list of email addresses of its 700 supporters.
Robert Cogswell, left, and Mel Broughton have been summoned to appear at the High Court in London next Tuesday charged with contempt.Mr Cogswell said the contempt proceedings followed an order issued by Mr Justice Gibbs on October 19, banning Speak from naming the construction company it believed is building Oxford University's £18m animal research laboratory, in South Parks Road.
Speak had named the firm on its website, but has now removed the article containing the name. Mr Cogswell said: "We could get a massive legal costs order against us, which would bankrupt us or, technically, the offence is imprisonable.
"We don't want to go to prison but we're quite prepared to go to prison if we have to.
"The university is making a grave mistake if they think they can muzzle a legitimate campaign."
Mr Cogswell said the order proposed that Speak's email alert list should be given to the university, so that individual members could be contacted and asked not to disseminate the name of the company.
But he said Speak would not be releasing the list of 700 names because it considered it a "fishing expedition" by the university and an attempt to undermine the campaign.
A university spokesman said: "This matter is now in the hands of the courts, but members of Speak are aware that court orders exist, and that they may be liable to penalties if they breach the injunction protecting all those associated with the university from harassment and intimidation."


I love to eat eggs for breakfast. Whether fried in bacon fat or olive oil, poached in water with a hint of white wine or scrambled until fluffy, they are the most satisfying of morning meals to me. Even a quickly made quiche is more desirable than a hastily made bowl of cereal.
I keep an old non-stick skillet on hand for poaching eggs. It's long since surpassed its usefulness as a fry pan because the surface is scratched, but when half filled with simmering water it makes a perfect bath for my breakfast-to-be. The pan is flat-bottomed, straight of side and has a nice vented glass lid so I can keep an eye on my huevos while they poach in about an inch and a half of water with a splash of white wine. The wife bought me silicone egg rings last year for my birthday and they work perfectly to keep the wisps of egg white constrained until they set up. A few minutes in the simmering bath, remove the rings, gently coddle the eggs with the perfect slotted spoon to drain well and dash with smokehouse pepper and salt.
With a side of toast one can dig in and swab up the yolky leavings or, better yet, forgo the toast and savor the wondrous pleasure of a mouthful of egg eaten whole while leaving the plate nearly as clean as it began.

Q: Recursion formula for odd holonomic function Let $E$ be the space of maps
$f:\mathbb{Z}\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm}]$
satisfying $\forall i$, $f(i)=-f(-i)$.
The algebra
$$\mathcal{T}=\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm}]\langle L^{\pm},M^{\pm}\rangle/(LM-tML)$$ acts on $E$ by
$$(Lf)(i)=f(i+1),\quad (Mf)(i)=t^if(i).$$
Is the annihilating ideal of $f\in E$ generated by annihilators in the symmetric part of $\mathcal{T}$?
Symmetric part means the subset with all element like $aL^xM^y+aL^{-x}M^{-y}$ and their multiplication or linear combination.

Hey guys, so here is a brief introduction to creating a simple Python toolbox in ArcGIS. Python toolboxes are extremely useful as they can be shared between members in a team or online, and work like a normal tool within ArcGIS. You can perform many of the same tasks with a Python script tool, however the main drawback is the lack of extensibility and less optimal workflow when sharing the tool.
I am using ArcGIS 10.2.2 Desktop for this tutorial, however it will be much the same in any version from 10.1 – 10.4 and within ArcGIS Pro.
Remember, ArcGIS Pro uses Python 3.4 which may mean that the code you see me write here may not work without modification on ArcGIS Pro.
Some sort of Python editor. ArcGIS comes packaged with Idle which I don't like and Esri often recommends PyWin. Personally I use PyCharm as it allows for a much more effective Python development workflow in my opinion but everyone has their own preference. If my screenshots look different from your's that's just fine.
There are two ways to create a toolbox in ArcGIS, the first is through the catalog in ArcMap or ArcCatalog and the other is directly in your script editor of choice. For beginners I recommend going through the catalog in ArcMap as that way a lot of the boilerplate code is injected and you can move right on to customizing the tools.
Creating a new toolbox in ArcMap.
First, open an existing or new blank map in ArcMap and expand the Catalog pane.
All Python toolboxes end with the file extension ".pyt" so make sure to include that in your filename when you name it.
This process creates a set of files within that folder: name.pyt, name.pyt.xml and name.Tool.pyt.xml. When we edit the tool, we just need to concern ourselves with the name.pyt file.
You can right click the toolbox and click "edit" to launch your default python script editor. Notepad works just fine, but like I said a more full-featured one is always better.
Inside you see two class code blocks with some functions defined within. The first class is the "Toolbox" class and this class contains all the information ArcMap needs to determine what is inside the toolbox.
The second class is a default "Tool" class. This is the basic outline required to make a tool run within the arcpy geoprocessing framework.
Let's start at the top with the Toolbox class.
You can see the self.alias variable is defined as an empty string and the self.tools variable is defined as a list with a single object in it. If you want to change the tool's alias under its properties in ArcCatalog you can enter a new one into the string variable self.alias.
Adding a new tool to the toolbox.
If you want to add another tool to your new toolbox, copy the entire Tool() class and paste it below. Make sure you rename the second Tool() class to something different. Tool2() is fine, but a more descriptive class name is always better.
Go back up to the Toolbox() class and add the new tool as another object in the self.tools list.
Refresh your catalog pane and you will see that there are now two tools in the toolbox.
You may choose to give your tool a new label, add a description and define whether or not it should be allowed to run in the background.
Take a look through the rest of the functions in the class and try to determine what they each represent. In my next post I will go over adding parameters to the tool, adding the code to be executed and testing your tools.
I am creating a python toolbox and want to use PyCharm. I am currently having the issue where pyCharm isnt recognizing the extension .pyt. How did you add the file type to pycharm to be able to work on your script? Hopefully you can help.

For this "Love" card I started by drawing a heart in pencil. Then I added lines across it all the way down so that my lettering would be straight. (I can't letter without lines to save my life!) Once I had my guide in place, the rest was easy, all I had to do was write L-O-V-E over and over again in alternating colours. Once the ink was dry I erased the pencil lines and this baby was finished!
It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without a least one pun, right guys? This card idea probably isn't the most original but it's very easy to do with limited artistic confidence. Simply write the text in your best block letters and draw a horizontal oval for the body of your bumble bee. Add a heart-shape on top for the wings, a little triangle stinger, and some stripes and you're good to go. For the bumble-bee trail, you really can't go wrong with drawing a dotted line in any pattern you choose.
Finally we have the trendiest of the three with some minimalist arrows. I think arrows are easy to draw and pretty much everyone has doodled them at one point or another. I started by drawing lines in a random pattern all across the front of the card and then I added different styles of arrow heads and feathers, also in an arbitrary pattern. To finish, I coloured some in black and some in red while continuing the random layout. The key here is not to overthink things and embrace whatever pattern your instincts are guiding you toward.
Whether you're a professional artist or aren't so confident in the DIY department, making homemade Valentines is a fun activity to get in the spirit of love and friendship. If you're unsure about your artistic skills, just remember that creativity isn't about perfection!

iSignthis plunges on governance concerns
Vesna Poljak, Yolanda Redrup and Jonathan Shapiro
Sep 12, 2019 – 6.23pm
The key architects behind $1 billion ASX payments darling iSignthis were the recipients of a stock windfall worth more than $500 million at this week's prices, but the difference between collecting this award and missing out came down to just $1,347 in revenue.
Once the award was claimed, iSignthis' top-line subsequently crashed the next half - a fact pointed out in a widely discussed governance report amid huge interest in the stock.
On Tuesday, the stock hit a high of $1.76, but only two days later it had suffered a 43 per cent fall to 93¢. An Ownership Matters report, sighted by The Australian Financial Review, examined the origins of the performance shares and the firm's early compensation arrangements.
iSignthis' payments network is similar in principle to that of PayPal, but is targeted at companies that need to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. It also offers electronic money deposit taking and is an issuer of electronic money in the European Union.
On Monday it declared that annualised gross processing turnover volume reached $1.1 billion in August. iSignthis' spectacular ascent means it will be promoted to the S&P/ASX 300 Index on September 23.
The payments technology company has been backed by some of the smartest hedge funds in Australia, including Marcus Hughes and Stephen Aboud's LHC Capital, which was the best long-short strategy over 2018-19, and Regal Funds Management.
On August 29, 2018, 336.6 million shares were issued after the company struck performance hurdles referred to as classes A, B and C. These date back to when the business was trading as Otis Energy, the company which acquired iSignthis BV and subsequently transformed itself into a digital identity phenomenon.
Performance hurdles were required to be met within three years of completing the transaction, based on annualised revenue over a six-month reporting period, or the shares would expire worthless.
The hurdles were broken down as class A: 112.2 million shares if it hit $5 million; class B: 112.2 million shares if it hit $7.5 million; and class C: 112.2 million shares if it hit $10 million. It was later clarified in the 2015 annual report that half-year revenue of $2.5 million will be sufficient to satisfy milestone A; $3.75 million for milestone B; and $5 million for milestone C.
Announcement to market Otis Energy
For the first-half of 2017-18 it reported revenue of only $826,912. On the same day, it announced plans to change the end of financial year to December 31. That had the effect of changing its first-half balance date to June 30. At this point, none of the milestones had been met.
But on June 22, 2018 iSignthis told the market it had blitzed through the A and B hurdles: cash receipts for "half two" were above $3.75 million. Hurdle C - the $5 million - was still unclear dependent upon "end of financial year June 2018 invoicing".
The next accounts showed revenue for the six months from January to June 2018 was in excess of $5.5 million - all three milestones had now been met.
More specifically it was $5,512,057 based on 12-month revenue of $6,338,969, including interest (implied as $32,191 for the half) and an R&D tax concession ($478,519 disclosed only for the 12 months). Removing the benefit of the R&D grant would mean only clearing the $5 million mark by $33,538 and excluding interest income the hurdle was only cleared by $1,347.
In the next reporting period, now the 2018 full-year (reported in February) revenue was $6,623,413. That implies a half-on-half plunge to $1.1 million.
But chief executive John Karantzis told The Financial Review changing the reporting timeline of the company had not helped the vendors to meet their performance hurdles and its fall in revenue had been because one of its service providers fell over. Subsequently the company invested in building its own payments network.
"We contracted parties, started servicing clients, but we were reliant on third party networks (other banks). Think of us as a 'virtual' provider at that point in time, just like Virgin mobile was on the Optus network back in the day," he said.
Supporters of iSignthis underscored that such information was already in the public domain.
LHC's Mr Hughes, which invested in the company early, said that he was prepared to take the good with the bad when buying into ISX and was unperturbed by the issues recently raised.
"All the information was publicly discoverable and we were aware of it when we did our due diligence prior to making our investment."
He said he was extremely happy with the performance of the business which he said was highly cash generative, and the forthcoming 4C quarterly statement to be released in October would provide an important validation of the company's progress.
Ambiguity remains as to the ownership structure of iSignthis; it is unclear who is behind its second largest holder, Red 5 Solutions, which owns 10.3 per cent of the company.
"We are also not privy to ownership of entities on our register, unless it is in an individual's name," Mr Karantzis said.

"In The 21st Century, EVERYTHING Is The Return Of Jim Crow"
Via Instapundit:
JONAH GOLDBERG: Indiana's Law Is Not the Return of Jim Crow. Don't be silly. In the 21st Century, everything is the return of Jim Crow.
This is true. When I saw Michelle Alexander's book The New Jim Crow, my first thought was "Now what's the 'New Jim Crow'?"
It turned out that it was blacks' disproportionate crime rate: the subtitle is "Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness".
However, lots of other things have been "The New Jim Crow", for example, this, just from yesterday: Rapper Killer Mike Says The Criminalization Of Rap Music Is The New Jim Crow, By Lilly Workneh, Huffington Post, 04/02/2015
What "Killer Mike" was talking about is cases like the rapper in New Orleans who was prosecuted for manslaughter. The DA said "This defendant who did this is the same defendant whose message is, 'Murder murder, kill, kill, you f**k with me you get a bullet in your brain,'" he said. "You don't have to be a genius to figure out that one plus one equals two."
No, you don't. You also don't have to be a genius to think that calling random things "the New Jim Crow" is basically phony. An ordinance in Opelousa, Florida is also the New Jim Crow, apparently.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean was calling Photo ID the New Jim Crow in 2005, and Jesse Jackson was saying it about a Nixon anti-busing speech as long ago as 1972. [Blacks: Nixon Substituting New Jim Crow. By Tom Wicker, The Palm Beach Post, March 25, 1972]
In the meantime, actual Jim Crow laws (forbidding blacks to ride in the same public transportation seating as whites) were abolished by Federal fiat half a century ago... as you can see below:

Twitter Bans All Political Advertisements
SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter is banning all political advertising from its service, saying social media companies give advertisers an unfair advantage in proliferating highly targeted, misleading messages.
"While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions," Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Wednesday in a series of tweets announcing the new policy.
We've made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…🧵
— jack 🌍🌏🌎 (@jack) October 30, 2019
Facebook has taken fire since it disclosed earlier in October that it will not fact-check ads by politicians or their campaigns, which could allow them to lie freely. CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Congress last week that politicians have the right to free speech on Facebook.
The issue suddenly arose in September when Twitter, along with Facebook and Google, refused to remove a misleading video ad from President Donald Trump's campaign that targeted former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democratic presidential candidate.
In response, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, another presidential hopeful, ran her own ad on Facebook taking aim at Zuckerberg. The ad falsely claimed that Zuckerberg endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election, acknowledging the deliberate falsehood as necessary to make a point.
Critics have called on Facebook to ban all political ads. These include CNN chief Jeff Zucker, who recently called the company's policy of allowing lies "absolutely ludicrous" and advised the social media giant to sit out the 2020 election until it can figure out something better.

Twitter's Policy Will Start on Nov. 22
Google and Facebook did not have immediate comments on Twitter's policy change.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, another Democratic 2020 contender, retweeted Dorsey's announcement, adding the comment, "Good. Your turn, Facebook."
"This is about paying for reach. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today's democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle. It's worth stepping back in order to address." — Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey
Dorsey said the company is recognizing that advertising on social media offers an unfair level of targeting compared to other mediums. It is not about free expression, he asserted.
"This is about paying for reach. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today's democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle," he tweeted. "It's worth stepping back in order to address."
Twitter currently only allows certified campaigns and organizations to run political ads for candidates and issues. The latter tend to advocate on broader issues such as climate change, abortion rights and immigration.
The company said it will make some exceptions, such as allowing ads that encourage voter turnout. It will describe those in a detailed policy it plans to release on Nov. 15.
Federal campaigns are expected to spend the majority of advertising dollars on broadcast and cable channels during the 2020 election, according to advertising research firm Kantar, and about 20% of the total $6 billion in spending on digital ads.
Twitter's policy will start on Nov. 22.

June 1, 2017 2018 campaigns, Adam Putnam, Donald Trump, George Bennett, Gwen Graham, Jack Latvala, Richard Corcoran, Ron DeSantis.
Florida GOP governor candidate Adam Putnam is seizing on outrage over Kathy Griffin's gruesome anti-Trump video.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam wasn't a gung-ho supporter of Donald Trump in 2016, making it known the Republican nominee "wasn't my first or second choice" but was preferable to Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Now Putnam is a 2018 candidate for governor who could use the energy of Trump supporters in a Republican primary. Putnam's campaign has begun circulating an online petition to "stand with President Trump" in response to Kathy Griffin's gory severed-head video of the president.
"Kathy Griffin is celebrated for a gruesome mock beheading of President Trump. This kind of liberal outrage has no place in our society. Sign my petition to stand with President Trump against the disgusting hypocrisy of the left," says the Putnam petition.
Putnam's campaign also announced Wednesday that it will begin June with $10 million in cash on hand for the governor's race.
Putnam filed papers to enter the governor's race on May 1 and his official campaign says it raised $1.1 million during the month. The pro-Putnam Florida Grown political committee, formed in 2015, began May with $8.2 million in its coffers and raised about $1 million more last month.
The Putnam campaign and Florida Grown don't have to file May reports with the Florida Division of Elections until June 10. But Team Putnam wants to publicize its numbers quickly so other potential GOP candidates — such as House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land-O'Lakes, state Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, or U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Ponte Vedra Beach — might have second thoughts about getting in the race.
Corcoran has said he'll wait until 2018 to decide whether he's running.
Latvala has said he'll make a decision this summer.
DeSantis has been seen as a potential candidate for attorney general, but some conservatives are also encouraging him to look at the governor's race. He began April with $1.7 million in cash on hand in his congressional campaign, money that could be put toward a governor's race. Similarly, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham recently put $950,000 in leftover federal campaign cash into the Our Florida political committee supporting her Democratic bid for governor.

Record VOA Deal Ends a 23-Year Saga
Bruce A. Fredrickson had been a lawyer for only two months when he attended his first client interview. A woman claimed she'd been rejected for a job with the U.S. Information Agency because agency officials wanted to fill the slot with a man. Fredrickson felt the problem at USIA extended beyond the treatment of Carolee Hartman, and decided to handle the suit on his own. In 1977 there was no way to know that the suit would drag on for 13 years -- or that it would produce a $508 million settlement.
By Harvey Berkman | April 05, 2000 at 12:00 AM
In early 1977, Bruce A. Fredrickson had been a lawyer for all of two months when one of the partners at the small, Washington, D.C., litigation firm where he worked called him to the conference room to attend his first interview of a new client.

Purolator Inc. announced Thursday that it has surpassed its 2013 goal of helping to collect the equivalent of 1.1 million pounds of food in the 11th season of its Purolator Tackle Hunger (PTH) program, which to date has helped deliver the equivalent of over 6.5 million pounds of food to Canadian food banks. "We are thrilled to have exceeded our goal of raising more than 1.1 million pounds of food, with still a month in the year left to go; this is a proud moment for all of us," said Patrick Nangle, Purolators President and Chief Executive Officer. "Congratulations to our employees, customers and partners - including the Canadian Football League (CFL) and its fans - for this excellent achievement. Their unyielding support and contributions in tackling hunger in our communities have helped us to continue to raise the bar each year, and I am confident that we will be able to keep this momentum going throughout the holiday season - and again in 2014." PTH was established in partnership with the CFL in 2003. Partnerships such as this have played a key role in enabling Purolator to help support Canadian families in need. "This is exciting and great news for Purolator, the CFL and our fans," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "Much like our teams and players, our fans love giving back to their communities, and the results of this program are a testament to that. Everyone involved in Purolator Tackle Hunger should be proud." According to Food Banks Canada, almost 900,000 Canadians, 38 per cent of whom are children, rely on food banks every month. The PTH program is designed to engage Purolator employees, customers and partners, as well as Canadian football fans in helping people in need.

Alfa Romeo has all but confirmed previous speculation that it won't be building an estate version of the Giulia anytime soon.
In an interview with Australia's CarAdvice, Head of Manufacturing Alfredo Altavilla stated that the recently launched Stelvo SUV will fill the niche a Giulia Sportwagon would have occupied, adding that if the latter were to have gone on sale on away, more buyers will have opted for the former.
No estate Alfa has so far been produced since the 159 went out of production almost six years ago, with the last model to only a feature a sedan bodystyle being the 155 and earlier 75. The 159's successor, 156, became the first to offer both a sedan and Sportwagon, as well as a SUV-inspired four-wheel drive version based on the latter called the Crosswagon Q4.
Meanwhile, the Italian marque has remained mum on previous reports that a coupe version of the Giulia, rumoured to revive the Sprint nameplate, will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, with a convertible version forecasted to follow suit.

The Week in HD – Monday 16th June | What Hi-Fi?
Hello everyone, and welcome to The Week in HD – our guide to all the must-see high-definition TV shows, films, sports and Blu-ray releases to grace your screens over the next seven days.
2014 World Cup: One of the most eagerly anticipated matches from the group stages as two European heavyweights go head-to-head in Group G. Can Cristiano Ronaldo inspire the Portuguese, or will the classy Germans claim this one?
The Children. With last week's episode dealing solely with the Night's Watch, there are plenty of loose ends to tie up in Westeros in the series four finale. What of Tyrion, for instance – will our favourite character really be put to death?
Be prepared for some major shocks and deaths to end the series.
"For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy."
A deliciously immoral tale of finely-woven revenge and dizzying heights of corruption – this is a political thriller like no other. The highly-praised Netflix Original show is out on Blu-ray, with Kevin Spacey's calculating and scheming Frank Underwood on his way to the vice presidency in the second series.
But his plotting, back-stabbing and murdering to attain power is being questioned by those close to him. For someone who upholds absolute trust and loyalty, will another betrayal be the undoing of Underwood? Or will he play another winning hand?
2014 World Cup: It's time for the second round of group games to get underway as the hosts Brazil look to build on their opening win against Croatia. Mexico, however, have also started with three points – can they upset the party?
The headline act is none other than Aerosmith, with lead vocalist Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry no doubt taking the stage by storm with their greatest hits. And that's not all. Remember Linkin Park? They'll be performing their breakthrough album Hybrid Theory (released in 2000) in its entirety.
As for the rest, you've got Avenged Sevenfold, The Offspring, Bad Religion, Fall Out Boy and Steel Panther belting out rock anthems that'll give your hi-fi and home cinema systems one hell of a workout.
Variable and Full of Peturbation. New clone alert! Tatiana Maslany ups her game with the introduction of a clone that questions all the questions raised about cloning, identity and genetic make up.
Elsewhere, Donnie, Cosima, and Rachel are all dealing with a post-Leekie world in their own ways.
6:00pm to 7:00pm. Margot's deadline is looming, and President Heller finally lets Jack in on the plan he's set in motion. Will it work out? Without incident – probably not.
2014 World Cup: England will be aiming to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Italy at the weekend, while Uruguay will also want a win after a surprising defeat to Costa Rica. For the loser, an early exit beckons.
Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Sara Pascoe and Josh Widdicombe join the regulars for another episode of mocking the week's news.
The 50th anniversary special was a blast the first time it aired; the sheer joy, drama and impact of the episode doesn't diminish with repeated viewings. We finally find out what the Doctor's role in the Time War was, and there are references to past (and future) incidents and guest stars to delight casual and devoted Whovians alike.
Besides, who doesn't want to see David Tennant reprise his role and share the screen with Matt Smith?
In a dystopian future where children fighting to the death is the biggest televisual event of the year, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen and her defiance sparks a revolution that brings hope and death across the districts of Panem. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and Stanley Tucci.
Morton's Fork. Apparently there's a high body count in the last episode of Fargo's debut series, and it's a bloody one, too. Let's hope Lester, Molly, Gus and Malvo are back for a second outing.
With David Lynch, Aaron Sorkin and Trent Reznor behind the creation of this film, it's no wonder that this Facebook biopic ended up being so smart, stylish and beautifully scored. Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield are on top form as the creators of the social media giant – it's a surprisingly thrilling watch.

Q: How can I run a .jar on Tomcat container? I'm new with docker, what I'm trying to run maven-wrapper.jar file in tomcat:8.0-alpine container.
I follow some steps in the following website https://medium.com/@pra4mesh/deploy-war-in-docker-tomcat-container-b52a3baea448
the difference is that it uses .war while I'm using the .jar file.
I do not know if this information is useful for you but the project auto-generation using  https://start.spring.io/.
here is my Dockerfile to build an image (to be honest I do not know what is call Dockerfile or something else).

any help ?!!

A: In your project you are using spring-boot-starter-web dependency which provides an embedded Tomcat servlet container. There is no need to use a Docker image that provides Tomcat unless you change your project setup to produce a WAR.
Start by reading how Spring Boot Maven Plugin works and how it packages an executable JAR. Once you understand that process use a Docker image that provides only a Java runtime e.g. openjdk.

Library of Congress Selects Early Elementary Teacher-in-Residence
Teresa St. Angelo, a kindergarten teacher from Manalapan, New Jersey, has been selected to serve as the 2016-2017 Teacher-in-Residence at the Library of Congress.
Since 2000, the Library has recruited educators to work with its Educational Outreach office to help teachers and school librarians incorporate the Library's digitized primary sources into high-quality instruction. The Educational Outreach office is responsible for directing and developing the Library's efforts to make its resources accessible, relevant and compelling to the nation's K-12 community.
During the past two decades, the office has used digital technology and its collective educational expertise to bring the Library's collections—and powerful strategies for integrating them—into classrooms across the country. This is the first year that an early elementary educator has been selected for this opportunity.
St. Angelo has been a kindergarten teacher with the Manalapan-Englishtown School District for 18 years. She earned her B.A. from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and her M.S. in Special Education from Walden University. In addition to teaching in Manalapan, Teresa taught both preschoolers and undergraduate students in the Rutgers Nutritional Sciences Preschool. At Ocean County College Planetarium, she produced and presented children's programs combining stories with the stars. She was presented with a Teacher of the Year Governor's Award in her school district and has been recognized by NASA for contributing to children's education. St. Angelo is also a published author of children's literature.
Since participating in the Library of Congress Summer Teacher Institute in 2011, St. Angelo has presented primary-source-based workshops at kindergarten conferences and for professional workshops in her school district. She was a contributing author to the 2014 ALA publication "Interacting with History: Teaching with Primary Sources," edited by Katharine Lehman.
Each Teacher-in-Residence undertakes a project to benefit his or her home school or district to be implemented during the following academic year. For her project, St. Angelo will create primary-source portfolios for teachers in grades K-2.
"Primary sources can be magical teaching tools, even with—and perhaps especially with—the youngest learners," said Lee Ann Potter, the Library's director of Educational Outreach. "My team and I are very excited to work with and learn from Teresa."
To be considered for the Teacher-in-Residence position, candidates must submit an application along with a current resume, project plan, letters of recommendation and a letter from a school or district authorizing official approving the personnel agreement. Applications are evaluated based on the teacher's creativity and willingness to contribute to the educational community, as evidenced by description of past activities and recommendation letters, and the feasibility and value of the proposed project.
The Library of Congress is the world's largest library, offering access to the creative record of the United States—and extensive materials from around the world—both on site and online. It is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. Explore collections, reference services and other programs and plan a visit at loc.gov, access the official site for U.S. federal legislative information at congress.gov, register creative works of authorship at copyright.gov and use its specialized educational resources at loc.gov/teachers/.

Looking to give an Opportunity to someone who needs it
Running the Yorkshire marathon
Last year I was one of the lucky few to receive a York Opportunity Scholarship, which was such a massive help to me because it meant that I could focus on my studies without stressing about money. I would like to raise money so that someone else can have the Opportunity that I had.
My name is Andrew and I will shortly be commencing my second year studying an Undergraduate Law Degree.
At 29, I almost never even made it to University. I grew up in a poor working class area, and since none of my family had been been to higher education they didn't think that I should either. I was told instead to get a paying job- ANY paying job- and be happy with that.
But I never quite was happy - I always wondered if I had more to give than I was able to working in hotels, bars and restaurants. I qualified as a Personal Trainer to try something different, but it didn't have the stability I needed in a job. So I plucked up the courage to give University a go. I went back to college, alongside working a full time job, and got the grades to be accepted into one of the best Law schools in the Country.
One of the scariest things about re-entering education as an adult is the thought of paying bills without a steady wage coming in. I know plenty of people in their late 20s and 30s who are miserable in their jobs, but can't quite bring themselves to take that take that leap from a paid job. The more commitments (partners, spouses, children, mortgages), the more terrifying this becomes.
Receiving the York Opportunity Scholarship, in addition to being eligible for a Bursary, took a lot that pressure off me. Instead of working part-time for extra cash, I've been able to devote myself to the extra reading required to get the top grades in Law. And what do you know, this person who almost never went to University was the fourth highest in my cohort last year!
I have every intention of donating to the scheme when I am able to financially. But for now, I would like to dedicate my time (and feet) to try and give somebody else an Opportunity to excel. The scholarship is £3300 over the three years, which I would like to reach.
I have paid the £40 entry fee. ALL of the money raised will go straight into funding a York Opportunity Scholarship.
So please... give generously, it means more than you know!
Help me succeed!
You don't need to give money to help me succeed! Please share this project with anyone you think would support us – on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, by email, telephone, in a chat over the fence or on your blog.
In fact, share it with everyone you know, the more people who know about it, the more likely we are to make this work out brilliantly.
And I know I said you don't need to give money to help us, but I'd love it if you did! Please sponsor me and help make this happen.
