Amaravati: The ruling Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday released its manifesto for the general elections promising doles to the tune of Rs 2 lakh to each family every year, with the monetary benefits starting from womb to tomb.
Releasing his party manifesto, TDP president and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said while Congress chief Rahul Gandhi promised Rs 72,000 per annum to each poor family, his government, if voted back to power, would be giving out Rs 2 lakh to each family every year.
"Nobody can match us in extending such largesse even in imagination," he said.
The TDP promised to continue the Centre's PM Kisan Samman scheme with a matching grant from the state, giving a benefit of up to Rs 15,000 to each farmer per annum.
While the TDPs promises include raising the limits of various existing schemes for different sections, the YSRC party added several new components to the Nava Ratnalu it announced on the eve of its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddys 'paada yatra' in November 2017.
Officials estimated that the cash-starved state government will require at least Rs 1.5 trillion to Rs 2 trillion to fulfill the promises of either party.
With the two parties promising 30-45 lakh free houses for different sections, besides waiver of existing loans on old houses, that bill alone is expected to cross over Rs 40,000 crore.
The YSRC, on the other hand, promised to introduce the YSR Rythu Bharosa scheme that will give annual benefits from Rs 12,500 to Rs one lakh to each farmer.
Tenant farmers would be given Rs 12,500, according to Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The YSRC also announced a stipend of Rs 60,000 to junior lawyers, a first-of-its-kind incentive. Besides, a Rs 100 crore Lawyer Welfare Fund would also be created.
Naidu promised to continue the Pasupu-Kumkuma scheme under which Rs 10,000 would be given to each member of women self-help groups (SHGs).
The YSRC promised Rs 50,000 per annum to SHG women and also interest-free loans.
The TDP promised free higher education and a Rs 25 lakh grant for overseas education while the YSRC promised total fee reimbursement and also an annual Rs 20,000 per student to cover food and accommodation expenses.
Every woman would be given Rs 15,000 a year for sending her children to school.
A Rs 3,000 crore price stabilization fund for the farm sector, Rs 4,000 crore Natural Calamity Fund and Rs 75,000 crore BC Welfare Fund are the other major promises of the YSRC.
The TDP has also come forward to set up a price stabilisation fund with a corpus of Rs 5,000 crore.
Naidu announced a "five-point vision" for AP development listing interlinking of rivers, construction of capital Amaravati into a world-class city, development of a 974-km long Beach Road with interlink to National Highways and airports, industrial development through 175 MSME Parks and use of pollution-free energy consumption as the keypriorities.
"Creating a healthy and happy Andhra Pradesh that is free of poverty is my ultimate aim," Naidu noted, with the slogan 'Your Future-My Responsibility.


Fury would like to congratulate our February Spotlight Athlete of the Month, Kelli Cunningham! Kelli was working to find the right life balance and decided to give Fury a try four years ago. She now is the familiar face to the 5am class and can also be seen some evenings for an extra lifting session. Kelli has been setting goals and making progress in her fitness but most recently she has started to apply what she has learned regarding nutrition to improve her overall health. Typically Saturday workouts require a partner and Kelli never seems to back down from a challenge. She admits to not being a fast runner but that doesn't stop her from being willing to partner with just about anyone and push herself to finish each workout. Below are Kelli's responses to our Spotlight Athlete questions.
There are many reasons that I came to Fury. The number one reason was to invest in myself. I had spent many years focusing on my children, family and demanding career, I forgot to invest in myself. I needed to become more productive by balancing my time between work, family, community activities, emotional/spiritual well-being and incorporate fitness back into my life. The second reason, I came to Fury was to embrace change. Change creates energy, excitement and learning. Be inspired by the challenges and possibilities change creates. The last reason I came to fury was to better my health. Over the years, I have suffered some very significant sports related injuries that I kind of gave up on. I began to make excuses for why I was not able to do something. That was not me. I decided that I needed to strengthen my core and muscle strength which would in turn improve my bone health.
What has impacted you the most at Fury?
The coaching staff has impacted me the most. The coaching staff has dedicated their time to giving me their undivided attention by setting aside any judgments and preconceived notions. They listened with focus and provided me with the tools that have paved the way for me to succeed. I am very thankful for the people I have met at Fury they really have made a positive impact on my life. I am very grateful for that. I have also learned quite a bit about nutrition over the last year and a half. I am thankful for the education that many of the coaches have provided.
Other comments you would like to share with current or potential members.
Anything is possible. Set small goals and achieve them. Work hard and you will see the results. Keep things fun and focus on you. The Fury Family is awesome and I am thankful to be a part of it.

Upcoming Scholarship Fair in Chesapeake helps students find financial aid
By NIta Baines
PilotOnline.com
The first fair hosted by Scholarship Sharing was held at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2013. Courtesy Photo
About 69 percent of 2013 college graduates accumulated student loan debt according to the Institute for College Access and Success. On average, today's college graduate owes $26,600 upon graduation with a bachelor's degree.
With college costs on the rise, Hampton Roads resident Lorraine SantaLucia started an organization to help students get connected to college aid resources. She is the founder and president of Scholarship Sharing, a nonprofit organization that unites students with a variety of college financial aid resources.
Initiated in 2012 at Virginia Commonwealth University as a student-run organization, Scholarship Sharing has now expanded to help all students in the Virginia and Washington, D.C., areas.
Scholarship Sharing will host its third annual Scholarship Fair at the Chesapeake campus of Tidewater Community College on Sept. 26 and 27, to help area students find financial resources for school.
The first scholarship fair was held at VCU and drew about 900 attendees. The second fair was an even greater success with more than 1,500 attendees, SantaLucia said.
"We are expecting a larger attendance at this fair," she said. "We are hoping to expand the scholarship fair to twice a year with a new host school each semester."
Attendees are encouraged to come early and can pre-register online at 2015scholarshipfair.eventbrite.com to avoid long lines on event day. Parents and teachers also are invited to participate.
"When we started the scholarship fair, I wanted to be able to help students connect with foundations while building networking and interviewing skills," SantaLucia said.
The event provides networking opportunities for students and families to learn more about scholarships, fellowships, and grant programs and may provide a catalyst to get them thinking about college funding.
The fair will be a walk-through event that will highlight cholarship and financial aid opportunities from more than 60 nonprofit organizations and 12 universities and community colleges.
"I wanted to bring this information home to the Hampton Roads area to help students in my own community," SantaLucia said.
TCC and its employees have donated the facilities and their time to help make this event successful.
"The process for applying for financial aid is an overwhelming task for many students, and we welcome services like Scholarship Sharing to help students discover and apply for scholarships to help them graduate debt-free," said Marian Anderfuren, public information officer for TCC. Anderfuren mentioned that 3 out of 5 graduates from TCC leave the school debt free.
"Anything we can do to help more students graduate debt-free is our priority," she said.
The event has a diverse selection of organizations participating.
"There will be something for everyone, and there is scholarship opportunity for every type of attendee," SantaLucia said.
Attendees also will be eligible for several $500 scholarships that will be raffled at the fair.
The event is geared toward all high school students regardless of grade level and for tranditional and non-traditional college students and prospective college students.
The fair will also have a dedicated section specifically for military personnel and their families. And organizers are even collaborating with the Hampton Roads Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to make the event bilingual. Volunteers will help interpret information as non-English-speaking families navigate the fair.
In addition to the fair, Scholarship Sharing offers interactive online webinars where participants can ask questions about financial aid. The webinars will be offered every month on different topics related to college financial aid and college preparation, SantaLucia said.
Scholarship Sharing also hosts special events and workshops to assist students with budgeting, college financial planning, resume building and other topics.

Q: How to deal with Error: Exception message Can u help me resolve a problem ?
I am trying solve a case in codewars. https://www.codewars.com/kata/51fda2d95d6efda45e00004e/train/javascript
And this is my code:
function User() {
const rankArr = [-8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
this.rank = -8;
this.progress = 0;
this.incProgress = function (incProgress) {
    if (this.rank >= 8 || incProgress == 0 || incProgress > 8 || incProgress < -8 || !incProgress) {
        this.progress = 0;
        throw new Error("Exception message");
    } else {
        const index = rankArr.indexOf(this.rank);
        const length = rankArr.indexOf(incProgress) - index;
        if (length <= -2) {
            length = -2;
        }
        let point;
        switch (length) {
            case 0:
                point = 3;
                break;
            case -1:

                point = 0;
                break;
            default:
                point = Math.pow(length, 2) * 10;
        }
        this.progress += point;
        if (this.progress >= 100) {
            const levelUp = Math.floor(this.progress / 100);
            this.rank = rankArr[index + levelUp];
            this.progress -= levelUp * 100;
        }
        if (this.rank == 8) {

The Estancia Maria Behety covers an area of 64,000 hectares east of Rio Grande, in the province of Tierra del Fuego. The waters that flow down the mountain range, through Rio Grande and its tributaries, travel along one of the natural streams that borders a part of the ranch, stretching more than 40 kilometers through a fertile prairie with a rich fauna and a unique, breathtaking landscape. Since Don Jose Menendez founded Behety in 1897, it has been a leading ranch in the Argentinian Patagonia.

Data can give valuable insights into a broad array of fields and has enormous potential to create economic growth and improve the quality of life for citizens.
And as Australia's population is projected to grow by 37% in the next 15 years to 30.5 million people, making the right decisions about infrastructure and services is vital.
But what exactly is big data and how can it be used to shape policy and legislation? In this blog post, we're looking at two areas where big data is having a transformative effect.
The sophistication and development of new technologies — sensors, cameras, mobile devices — have created what the PwC report Big Data: Big benefits and imperiled privacy calls 'an unprecedented amount of data'. This 'unprecedented' amount of data equates to 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily according to IBM. We now create so much of it every day, that 90% of our available data was created in the last 2 years.
There are many exciting developments in the field of healthcare that could have an enormous impact on the prevention and treatment of disease. These developments are vital because we are entering a future of an aging population which will put enormous pressure on resources, not just medical and aged care resources, but it could strain the quality of living for future Australians.
With this in mind, there has been much focus from enterprise and governments on how to overcome the problems this shift will cause.
One area that has attracted attention is the prevention of chronic disease with the use of big data. One of the more recent developments is the Federal Government's introduction of eHealth, hailed as potentially the most important revolution in healthcare since the advent of modern medicine. eHealth is a database where all a patient's data is kept. The ease with which practitioners and patients will be able to access their data will be transformative, particularly for regional patients.
Having access to datasets will also be invaluable in detecting broader trends in healthcare. Having millions of patient records will allow practitioners to detect broader health patterns, which will allow them to be proactive in determining a course of action. While this won't allow citizens to be proactive in guarding themselves against contagious seasonal diseases, it could unlock previously undetected patterns in genetic diseases, allergies and chronic health problems like obesity and heart disease.
Newer technologies are also becoming so intuitive, that they enable people to analyse their own data and take actions on their own health. For example, a fertility device like the Kindara generate large amounts of personal data that give you insights about your body. Many women who are using it, will take out their phone at the doctors, because the insights that this data generates can be enormously valuable in diagnosing fertility issues and broader health issues.
A growing population needs a functioning transportation system to support it. Not only will big data help lower traffic pollution, but according to Autodesk industry strategist Dominic Thasarathar it could save governments billions of dollars a year by 'making more of existing infrastructure through improved demand management and maintenance'.
A great example of this is the work Brazil is doing to mitigate aviation traffic which is projected to double in the next 15 years. The McKinsey report big data versus big congestion states that Brazil is introducing a sophisticated GPS tracking system to make the most efficient use of air space.
Given the success of this initiative Brazil is planning to roll the system out to 10 other airports. It is estimated that they will be able to increase their capacity from '16% to 59% depending on conditions.
These are just two of many examples showing how big data insights can drive efficiencies and resolve societal challenges for decades to come. It is the remit of governments to ensure that their policies and their legislation makes the best use of the data, while balancing the privacy rights of their citizens.

It really confuses me when people travel somewhere new…and then hightail it the nearest McDonalds to order their usual.
Maybe I'm just immune to the comforts of routine, but I really don't understand why you'd take time and pay money — even just a few dollars in gas money — to see a new place and then ignore a big part of what makes it unique.
If you avoid the chains, you'll usually find something equally quick and a lot more interesting. Just keep your eyes open. That's how I stumbled upon Favorites Drive Thru Deli in Breckenridge, Minnesota.
I was in town for a work trip to Breckenridge's sister city, Wahpeton, and I had a tiny sliver of time between pulling into town and E's nap time. I was actually just pulling across the the Minnesota/North Dakota state line to turn around and head back to another restaurant for a to go order when I spotted this cute little shack on the side of the road.
I thought it was one of those drive through coffee places at first, since it's about the same size. The fact that it was a deli made me smile. I've traveled a lot of places, but I hadn't seen this particular set-up before.
My usual strategy when trying a new place is to either order whatever jumps out at me or to ask the server what's popular, new or unique. At Favorites, my server was also the chef and owner, Joel Ellingson.
Joel went to culinary school in Wahpeton, so his rotating menu of freshly made soups, sandwiches and salads goes way beyond the pre-made, re-heated stuff you'll find at a fast food joint. He believes in fresh food, custom orders and doing it all quickly. Here's how it works.
Joel does his own fair share of imagining as well. The idea for one of the deli's best sellers, the Burger in a Bag, came to him as he was driving down the road, pondering that Midwestern street food favorite, the Taco in the Bag. He grabbed a bag of Funyuns, added his signature ground beef, burger toppings and condiments and a local hit was born.
That sounded intriguing. So even though I usually hate Funyuns, I gave the Burger in a Bag a try. It was really good, actually, a great mix of textures with a savory crunch. I'd definitely order it again. And if the response from the photos I posted on Facebook and Twitter were indication, lots of other people are excited about ordering it too.
The next time you're in Breckenridge, you should definitely check it out. Don't forget to tell me what you tried!

John Shanahan is a civil engineer and past president of Go Nuclear, Inc. and Environmentalists for Nuclear - USA: There is a titanic struggle over the topic of man-made global warming and man-made sea level rise. The struggle exists on five levels: a) among scientists who have a good knowledge of physics and chemistry related to carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and its role in the entire subject of atmospheric, ocean and land sciences, b) among politicians, c) among people who are determined to save the world from fossil fuels and man-made carbon dioxide, no matter the effects on humanity, d) among other scientists and engineers who claim to have the answers, d) among the public who have very little to no knowledge of atmospheric science, but nevertheless are sure they know the correct answers. A second important topic relates to advocates for nuclear energy who claim to have the answers. If they are wrong about man-made global warming, how can they be trusted with information about nuclear energy. The absolute truth will only come from nature in time. The question is, "How many big mistakes will humans make on this topic before the truth is fully known?
Published in Man-Made Global Warming - Sounding the Alarm
Surviving "the Worst Evaaaah" (Viv Forbes, Saltbush Club) Australia
Viv Forbes, Executive Director of The Salt Bush Club, Australia: The media loves disaster stories – floods, cyclones, heat waves, droughts and fires - each one "the worst Evaaaah" (evaah since the last one). Each report of catastrophe is usually followed by a religious chant about "man-made global warming". Pretending we can change global climate by waging a war on carbon dioxide is foolish and dangerous nonsense. When cyclones, floods, droughts and bushfires strike we need disaster-proof helipads, rail links, roads, bridges, water and electricity supply.

Wind and solar can't save the planet (Michael Shellenberger, John Shanahan) USofA
Michael Shellenberger, Founder - President of Environmental Progress: This is an excellent review of wind and solar energy. It doesn't work. Michael and his science advisor, James Hansen are determined to stop use of fossil fuels because of their convictions that they are causing catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. John Shanahan points out that this website has hundreds of articles on wind, solar and man-made global warming. Based on these articles, he concludes that the world needs fossil fuels far more than any possible problems with global warming they cause. The problems with stopping use of fossil fuels are tremendous, existential. Extreme environmental and man-made climate change alarmists are determined to save the world with their solutions. They are not the best persons to help the world. China is doing a far better job of helping millions out of poverty by using fossil fuels than extreme environmentalists like the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council or James Hansen are doing by forcing stopping use of fossil fuels.

Will Tom Brady ask Wes Welker, Randy Moss for help?
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could be getting some star-studded help when he works out during his suspension over the first four weeks of the regular season.
According to former teammate Kevin Faulk, he expects Brady to reach out to both Wes Welker and Randy Moss, the receivers who helped him form some of the most dominant offenses in NFL history.
"He's definitely going to work," Faulk said in a segment airing on NESN. "There's no doubt in my mind. He's probably going to do the same regimen he's been doing for the last how many years he's been playing football, stay in that routine, and yes, I'm almost positive Wes Welker is going to be here. He probably will reach out to Randy (Moss), and Randy will come because Randy's in still good shape. Real good shape."
The move makes sense for several reasons. Welker and Moss are still in incredible shape and are two of the more cerebral players Brady played with on offense. Both are familiar with the playbook and won't force Brady to go outside of the Patriot family for help. Handing out the playbook to undrafted free agents looking for a workout partner would probably give Bill Belichick a heart attack.
Given his status and resources, we would expect Brady to have one of the best practice simulations at his disposal. While suspended players or hold out players often struggle to replicate the finer points of practice during their time away from the field, there's little doubt that Brady could put on a full Patriots practice in his sleep.
While Faulk seems to be making just a very educated guess here, Brady's workout partners will be an extremely hot topic over the first month of the season. This is without a doubt the most visible suspension in league history, and like always, Brady will be prepared.
