NJ Supreme Court: Failure to Advise Suspect of Pending Charges Before Waiver of Right Against Self-Incrimination Requires Suppression of Statements
Loaded on May 15, 2019 by Douglas Ankney published in Criminal Legal News June, 2019, page 26
Filed under: Self Incrimination, Fifth Amendment. Location: New Jersey.
by Douglas Ankney
The Supreme Court of New Jersey ruled that when police obtain a suspect's waiver of his right not to incriminate himself before informing the suspect of "the essence of the charges filed against him," the State cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect knowingly and intelligently waived his right. Thus, any statement given must be suppressed.
Detectives Thomas Glackin and Brian Mera questioned Adrian Vincenty about the attempted robbery and attempted murder of Jerry Castellano. Video surveillance of the attack showed two men attempt to rob Castellani but did not succeed. One of the men shot Castellano in the back of the head. A mask worn by one of the assailants was either dropped or thrown away. Police recovered the mask and ultimately Vincenty's DNA was found on it. The police also identified Vincenty from the video recording.
At the beginning of the interrogation, Vincenty appeared willing to talk. He signed a form acknowledging he had received his Miranda warnings. Mera told Vincenty that police identified him from the video recording and asked his assistance in identifying the other perpetrator. Mera told Vincenty that "the judge already charged [him]." Mera further explained that police had obtained Vincenty's DNA.
Vincenty indicated that he was confused and denied any involvement in the attack. But Mera replied, "We have you with the DNA and we have you ... with gun charges, right?" Nevertheless Vincenty continued to deny any involvement.
Mera told Vincenty that the evidence had been presented to a judge who "put the charges in." Vincenty still maintained that he was surprised the detectives had any evidence against him. When the detectives showed Vincenty a picture of the assailants, Vincenty responded that one of the men looked like him and wore a coat similar to his.
At one point, Mera told Vincenty they had charges against him. Vincenty replied that he had not received a letter from a judge about any charges and asked what the charges were. The detectives showed him the list, explaining that he had been charged with attempted homicide, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery. Shortly thereafter, Vincenty said he wanted to talk to a lawyer. But the detectives continued to ask for information about the attack. Once more, Vincenty said he was surprised and confused and again insisted on speaking with a lawyer. The police then stopped the interrogation.
Vincenty was indicted on numerous felonies. He filed a pretrial motion to suppress his statements. The trial court granted his motion as to anything he said after he requested a lawyer but denied the motion as to all the statements he made before requesting a lawyer. Vincenty entered into a plea agreement whereby he pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder and reserved his right to appeal the denial of his suppression motion. The Appellate Division affirmed the trial court's decision, and the Supreme Court granted Vincenty's petition for certification.
The Court observed that the common law has granted individuals the "right against self-incrimination since colonial times." State v. A.G.D., 835 A.2d 291 (N.J. 2003). It is one of the most important protections of the criminal law. State v. Presha, 748 A.2d 1108 (N.J. 2000). But individuals may waive the right. Presha. However, law enforcement officers must inform suspects of the right before getting a waiver. Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966). A waiver must be knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. State v. Reed, 627 A.2d 630 (N.J. 1993). The State has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the waiver was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Presha. If suspects are not informed of the charges pending against them, they necessarily lack critically important information to enable them to knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive the right against self-incrimination. A.G.D.
In such circumstance, the State cannot meet its burden of proof. Id. The police may inform the suspect of the charges before or after the Miranda warnings, but they must do so before obtaining any waiver. Id.
The Court observed that the detectives obtained Vincenty's waiver at the outset of the interrogation before informing him of any charges. Vincent appeared willing to talk. But once he learned of the charges and thus "the heightened magnitude of the interrogation," he immediately requested an attorney. That in itself is evidence that he did not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive his right. The Court ruled that Vincenty's suppression motion should have been granted.
Accordingly, the Court reversed the judgment of the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. See: State v. Vincenty, 202 A.3d 1273 (N.J. 2019).

Albania Earthquake: Red Cross teams providing urgent medical assistance, food and water to survivors
Topics: Worldwide, Emergencies and Disasters Worldwide
Red Cross and Red Crescent teams from across Europe have arrived in Albania to help the local Red Cross with rescue and relief efforts following a 6.4 magnitude earthquake near the capital Tirana.
The earthquake, which struck just before 4 a.m. on November 26, has killed 31 people and injured more than 650, according to the Government. An estimated 100,000 people are affected and around 30,000 need immediate assistance, including 2,500 who are homeless. Aftershocks continue to rock the region and rescuers are still looking for people in the rubble of collapsed buildings in Thumane and Durres.
The Albanian Red Cross has deployed doctors, first aiders and 160 volunteers, who are working at hospitals and at a tent camp at the football stadium in Durres, providing medical care, first aid, psychosocial support, food, water, hot drinks, blankets and hygiene items.
Canadians can support the response efforts by making a donation to the Albania Earthquake Appeal.
The Red Cross is working to coordinate emergency relief efforts and get help to people in affected areas as quickly as possible. Money raised will enable the Red Cross to provide relief, recovery, and resiliency activities in response to this disaster.
Time is of the essence as Red Cross workers meet the most urgent of humanitarian needs. The immediate focus is providing essentials including food, water, blankets, shelter, hygiene items and health care.
This is the biggest earthquake in Albania for 30 years and those affected will need ongoing support to recover homes, health and livelihoods.
The Secretary General of Albanian Red Cross, Mr. Artur Katuci, said he is touched by the solidarity shown by the Red Cross and Red Crescent family.
"Our friends from across Europe have stepped up to help us in our hour of need. They have sent medical teams, relief teams, emergency aid and even rescue dogs. Their help is extremely appreciated. We will not forget this."
Mr. Katuci said the Italian Red Cross has sent a team specialising in search and rescue, camp management and logistics who will help set up tents for the displaced. Turkish Red Crescent has sent two trucks with tents, blankets, hygiene kits and food. The Red Cross of North Macedonia has deployed a medical team and logistics team with a supply of blankets, sleeping bags, portable beds, food and hygiene kits.
"This assistance is going directly to people who have lost their homes and are living in tents in a football field. Those affected by the earthquake are very grateful for the help of the Red Cross. Our staff and volunteers are doing an excellent job but our biggest work will be in the months ahead," Mr Katuci said.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), also has a team on the ground, joining around 500 staff and volunteers from Albanian Red Cross, who are providing medical care, first aid, psychosocial support, food, water, hot drinks, blankets and hygiene items at hospitals and tent camps set up by the Government.

Looking for a clean, low mileage 990 SDR, 08 onwards with the pokier engine.
PM me if you have or know of anything for sale.
Cheers, nice scoot with a ruck of extras but it needs to be an R, in black.
Just my pennies worth in here.
The SDR doesn't offer anything more than a standard 990 really. Just an orange frame. All the hype and bollox written about more BHP/performance etc is totally spurious when analysed against the age/mileage/conditions/care that has been taken on one of these bikes. Give me a good, high mileage, well set up, well modded 2006 990 against a barely used 2009 SRD if the former was well loved and expertly cared for and the latter a multi-owner, rarely ridden, badly set up Sunday ride out.
There are plenty of well set up and tuned 990s with great torque and HP figures showing on the dyno.
There are plenty of SDR bikes showing lower torque and HP figures.
If you're bothered about either track times or public-road speeds the difference will be far more apparent dependent of how good a rider you are, not to do with whether you ride a 990 or an SDR.
Obviously this is what I ride.
An SDR is for men with huge cojones!

Cheers for the input, I'm under no illusion the difference in performance won't be night and day and I'm quite happy setting one up (with the help of a couple of mates). I just want a decent starting point and to me it looks like this vvv so that's what I want.

Hi Jon (?) I may be selling mine, it's an 09 full fat model. I have an 06 sd too, it's not day and night difference but you can definitely tell it's the "r" version. Just had a full service ( big one) with all the fluids changed.
A few sensible extras and under 6000 miles.

Q: Julia: Evaluate expressions from a dictionary I have a list of expressions, f.x
"a1 || a4"
"a3 && a5

and a dictionary with the truth values of these
a1 -> true
a2 -> false

I need to evaluate expressions from the list, with the true/false values from the dictionary
Any ideas how this can be achieved easily? Any help is greatly appreciated

A: I feel like there might be a more elegant solution but this will certainly get the job done.
truths = Dict("a1" => true, "a2" => false)
expressions = ["a1 || a4", "a1 && a2"]

for (key, value) in truths
    info("evaluating: '$key = $value'")
    eval(parse("$key = $value"))
end

for exp in expressions
    info("$exp => $(eval(parse(exp)))")
end

A: What is f.x?  What do you mean by a list? In future, please give working code, not code snippets like this.
In Julia you almost certainly do not want to store Julia code like a1 || a4 in strings, but rather as Julia expressions (which is what parse of a string actually gives):
ex = [:(a1 || a4), :(a3 && a5)]

Secondly, you probably don't want to use variables with names like this, but rather an array:
a = bitrand(5)   # 5 random bits
a[1]   # gives true

Then you would use
ex = [:(a[1] || a[4]), :(a[3] && [a[5])]

and you can just do
map(eval, ex)

which evaluates each expression in the vector.
If you think that using a[1] instead of a1 is too much typing, you can walk the syntax tree and replace a_i with a[i]. Or, if you have the strings, just use the replace function on the string:
replace("hello a3 a34", "a3", "a[3]")

(so be careful!)

How Hurricane Florence could affect South Florida
by jsfagan3601 | Sep 12, 2018 | Articles | 0 comments
John Fagan Law
Hurricane Florence might be hundreds of miles away, but its effects will spin all the way to South Florida.
From beaches to airlines to utilities to tourism, the hurricane expected to make landfall in the Carolinas on Friday morning will disrupt life in the Sunshine State as it batters the mid-Atlantic.
Here are some ways:
Florence could pound South Florida's coastline from afar, eroding its beaches, said Andy Studt, Palm Beach County's interim coastal resources manager.
"Typically we see these kind of waves coming from northeasters in the winter months," Studt said.
The coastline is usually protected by the Bahamas, which blocks the full force of strong wave activity generated by Atlantic storms from reaching South Florida, Studt said. But Florence, as it approaches the U.S., will send its waves straight down the coast, unimpeded.
That's especially true in Palm Beach County, which has the easternmost coastline in the state and whose continental shelf drops off fairly rapidly, he said.
Crews were out last week, measuring the width of county beaches so officials will be able to gauge the effects of Florence and any of the other storms in the Atlantic. The county's beaches did receive a minor swipe from Tropical Storm Gordon before those measurements, Studt said.
"At this point, most of our 47 miles of coastline are in reasonably good shape," especially given last year's brush with Hurricane Irma, Studt said. "We've had quite a bit of natural recovery over the past six months."
While Florence's most significant danger will be far to the north, surfers and other water sport enthusiasts in South Florida are preparing for what they hope will be a few good days of riding the waves.
Max Pechonis, a manager at Island Water Sports in Deerfield Beach, said it's been a flat summer on the ocean, so excitement is building.
So far, the central Florida coast has been picking up much more of the swells from the hurricane, but the wave action should increase locally Thursday and Friday, Pechonis said.
"People are looking forward to that, not having to travel too far," Pechonis said. "People are getting all prepped up for the waves."
South Florida travelers are bracing for a slew of flight cancellations, delays and re-routings as Florence approaches.
No schedule adjustments had been made as of Tuesday afternoon at the three main airports in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and West Palm Beach.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport spokesman Greg Meyer doesn't anticipate any cancellations until Wednesday afternoon.
"There's disruptions and people are concerned, but until airlines start canceling flights, there's nothing we can do about it," said Katy Fowler of Landmark Travel Agents in Fort Lauderdale.
Fowler said she's received some airline bulletins. One from Delta Airlines announced the company would offer waivers to people with tickets to travel to airports in the storm's path Sept. 13-16, where they could get a refund or reschedule the flight. Fowler said the bulletins are frequently updated, with the terms of an offer changing as more information about the storm track becomes available.
Fort Lauderdale's airport has direct flights to three airports in the anticipated path of the storm: Raleigh, Charlotte and Myrtle Beach, and many connecting flights to other destinations go through Charlotte, Meyer said.
Travelers are encouraged to call their airlines for specific flight information.
Carnival Cruise Lines made one itinerary change for a Caribbean cruise that left from Miami on Monday.
The planned stops on Carnival Vista's eight-day cruise have been reversed to avoid Tropical Storm Isaac, which appears to be on a track that will take it south of Puerto Rico. The ship will call on St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and Amber Cove before returning to Miami on Sept. 16.
Port Everglades doesn't expect to see any additional ships because of Florence, port spokeswoman Ellen Kennedy said. Cruise ships in the projected path of the hurricane are being diverted to Port Canaveral in Central Florida, she said.
Crews from Florida Power & Light began a trek north Tuesday morning to help with power restoration in the affected areas once Florence passes through.
Convoys of FPL crews left from the Florida's Turnpike service plaza in Lake Worth and the company's Gulfstream service center in Hollywood, part of a contingent of 500 FPL employees and contractors from throughout the state heading to South Carolina.
FPL spokesman Bill Orlove said the company is only offering what it can spare and still be able to respond to any local emergencies.
"These men and women are going to be up there for an inordinate amount of time. These are people that are not going to be pulled back in a moment's notice," Orlove said. "We need to ensure that we have an adequate staffing level during normal operations and if the weather should turn."
The American Red Cross is also sending help. More than 30 South Florida staff members and volunteers have deployed to Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina for Florence-related assistance, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which is near Tropical Storm Isaac's projected path.

Pinnacle West Capital Corporation
Arizona Public Service Company is the largest electric utility in Arizona, United States and the principal subsidiary of publicly traded S&P 500 member Pinnacle West Capital Corporation, which in turn had been formerly named AZP Group, when Arizona Public Service reorganized as that holding company in 1985.
With 4,000 MW of generating capacity, APS serves more than one million customers in 11 counties throughout most of the state, but mainly concentrated in northern and central Arizona. APS is one of the two major suppliers of electricity to the Phoenix metropolitan area.
APS is regulated by the Arizona Corporation Commission, the state agency that, by mandate of Article 15, Section 2 of the state's constitution, regulates energy utilities in Arizona, with the notable exception of SRP, the rural electrical districts, and the City of Mesa electric utility serving Downtown Mesa and the immediate vicinity.
The holding company, Pinnacle West Capital, through its APS utility sells wholesale and retail power to the wider western United States and also provides energy-related services. Through another major subsidiary, Pinnacle West also developed and manages real estate in Arizona. Pinnacle West left the real estate business in 2010.

Q: Is a complex vector bundle over a punctured closed surface trivial? Let $M$ be a connected closed surface (possibly with non-zero genus) and let $P\subset M$ be a nonempty finite set of points. Set $\dot{M} = M \setminus P$. Let $\pi : E \rightarrow \dot{M}$ be a complex vector bundle of rank $2$. Is this vector bundle trivial?

A: For any topological group $G$, there is a classifying space $BG$ and a principal $G$-bundle $EG \to BG$ called the universal principal $G$-bundle which is determined up to isomorphism by the fact that $EG$ is weakly contractible. On a paracompact topological space $X$, any principal $G$-bundle $P \to X$ admits a map $f : X \to BG$, called a classifying map, so that $P \to X$ is isomorphic to $f^*EG \to X$. Moreover, two principal $G$-bundles $P_1, P_2 \to X$ are isomorphic if and only if their classifying maps $f_1, f_2 : X \to BG$ are homotopic. In particular, a principal $G$-bundle is trivial if and only if its classifying map is nullhomotopic.
Complex rank $n$ vector bundles can be identified with principal $U(n)$-bundles, so your problem reduces to showing that every map $f : \dot{M} \to BU(2)$ is nullhomotopic.
The long exact sequence in homotopy applied to the universal principal $G$-bundle, together with the weak contractibility of $EG$, shows that $\pi_{k+1}(BG) \cong \pi_k(G)$. In particular, $\pi_1(BU(2)) \cong \pi_0(U(2)) = 0$ as $U(2)$ is path-connected.
The surface $\dot{M}$ deformation retracts onto a bouquet of circles. Restricting $f$ to one of these circles, we get a map $S^1 \to BU(2)$ which is nullhomotopic as $BU(2)$ is simply connected. It follows that $f$ is nullhomotopic and therefore every rank two complex vector bundle on $\dot{M}$ is trivial.
As $U(n)$ is path-connected for every  $n$, $BU(n)$ is always simply connected so the argument above would still work if we replace $BU(2)$ by $BU(n)$. Therefore we see that every complex vector bundle on $\dot{M}$ is trivial. In fact, as $SO(n)$ is connected for all $n$, the same argument shows that all real orientable vector bundles on $\dot{M}$ (which correspond to principal $SO(n)$-bundles on $\dot{M}$) are trivial.


I created a custom story map journal and I am experiencing slowness and issues with IE (besides the styling). Any idea?
Hi Alex, I am seeing quite a lot of issues with your styling in IE on Windows 10. Is there a specific thing though that seems extra slow on IE?
I noticed all the styling issues in IE (I spent more time testing on chrome). I will be fixing them. I am wondering about performance issues though.
Just like this Map Journal The World's 10 Largest Refugee Camps , I use an inset map.
Now if you try it in Chrome, it works fine and quickly. Try it in IE 11. It is very very slow and sometimes not working. (Similar experience in my app and the UN app).
Second thing not working as well as in Chrome is my Search toolbar that uses JQuery UI. For some reason, the autocomplete search toolbar loads up the projects just fine but it is when I click search that it is slow. Any idea?
Actually, even the scrolling/bullet points are slow compared to Chrome.

Conventional or off-line marketing has existed given that the start of history. But, nowadays, if an enterprise is to reap success then, there is just no better opportunity to online marketing. To put it in short, online or virtual marketing is all about selling a business across the digital domain of the Internet.

Presently, social media channels, websites, TV, radio, cellular handsets and even nonvirtual media like billboards and transit displays are considered as digital advertising components. In other phrases, at present, traditional marketing consist of factors like P2P (man or woman to the character) advertising, elements of direct marketing that online advertising and marketing does now not cover and print advertising. Actually, the domains of off-line and online advertising are rapid overlapping every different. Elements of traditional advertising like online directories, URL touchdown pages, net banner advertising and marketing, QR codes and others have a robust reference to online marketing.greater alliance federal credit union.
It is not just marketers and commercial enterprise proprietors who're using the shift to virtual media. Even purchases are contributing to this segment trade. The majority of virtual media channels, including various social media platforms and websites, can be more without difficulty tracked. Whereas, print media and other conventional advertising techniques are infrequently easy on that issue.
In contrast to conventional advertising, its online counterpart is a good deal price-powerful. Unlike strolling conventional advertising and marketing, one does now not want to invest a fortune in running online advertising campaigns. The present day marketing method is similarly ideal for small, medium and huge-scale companies, in addition to for start-up manufacturers.
These days, purchasers do no longer flip through yellow pages or directories anymore, to locate any enterprise to avail its products or services. They Google the desired data, either the use of their handheld mobiles, laptops or computer systems. Thus, organizations rarely have any better alternative apart from relying on online advertising the use of the platform of virtual media.

However, with the evolution of the business landscape, the role of finance has advanced and emerge as greater tough. In a cutting-edge organization, a finance character occupies a much broader role involving decision-making, making plans, controlling the financial operation of a commercial enterprise.
Within finance, you will find a diffusion of acting roles that are not confined to simply the accounting area. You can discover financial profession options in numerous industries which include economic provider, monetary planning, fund management, regulatory compliance, trading, financial control, and so forth.finance def.
These one-of-a-kind jobs require you to have completely special ability sets, and you may choose an economic career that suits your persona and skill stage.
If you're analytically oriented, you could choose a profession in threat management, in which your job is to measure and control the chance faced by a financial institution or a monetary group. Alternatively, you may also be a part of the insurance industry as an actuary where you pass the danger of loss, and layout and fee new insurance merchandise. These jobs require quantity crunching capabilities. You also are predicted to be very diligent as a small mistake can turn into huge losses.
On the alternative hand, if you are a completely outgoing character and prefer meeting people, you'll be higher applicable for selling financial units. You may additionally want to enroll in a financial institution or an insurance business enterprise and sell their economic products to potential clients. In a financial institution, you're anticipated to promote their financial products which include deposit money owed, credit cards, non-public loans, domestic loans, and so on.

In all the years I've been operating with agencies that need to rebuild they are getting to know functions, I even have by no means found a lack of will. People want to provide the great education, and they have the proper heart and spirit to paintings tough to make it manifest. What they regularly lack is the information of a way to provide proper education and mastering transfer.
For businesses that in reality have not had a studying feature, and spot no value, there is not an awful lot to be accomplished. Oh, certain, you can pontificate the best information of studying, however, your audience has no preference to listen to your message. I even have made it a non-public interest to hold song of these businesses, and through the years they absolutely disappear.What does grow mean?
They all need humans to lead them to a characteristic. Granted, no longer each assignment is carried out by using a human in recent times, but no agency is without the human detail. It boggles my thoughts after I see an agency seeking to survive, not to mention develop, without training employees. Management in those agencies is centered simplest on the bottom line, and if someone cannot do the job they're fired and replaced. This manner of firing and changing is going on till the proper person is observed. Sadly this leadership fashion is ordinary and is why I see the dearth of schooling in an employer as a key indicator for applicants to recall before accepting an employment provider.

What will the legacy of the Occupy movements be? It's become a commonplace to lump them together with the wave of protests in 2011 along the Mediterranean rim of Africa—something that only confuses the achievements of both groups. In Libya and Egypt, masses of people were locked in mortal combat against tyrants, whereas the Occupiers were a relatively small group who changed the terms of debate about the current economic crisis. In the process, they also challenged urbanists like me to think about the city in new ways.

Q: How to update the existing rows add insert new rows in table in laravel for multiple array values i have a table of data with array input values , as like below

    Name
    Email
    Phone

        <input type="text" name="user_id[]" value="1">
        <input type="text" name="name[]">
        <input type="text" name="email[]">
        <input type="text" name="phone[]">

        <input type="text" name="user_id[]" value="2">
        <input type="text" name="name[]">
        <input type="text" name="email[]">
        <input type="text" name="phone[]">

        <input type="text" name="user_id[]" value="">
        <input type="text" name="name[]">
        <input type="text" name="email[]">
        <input type="text" name="phone[]">

        <input type="text" name="user_id[]" value="">
        <input type="text" name="name[]">
        <input type="text" name="email[]">
        <input type="text" name="phone[]">

And i m trying to update the first two rows with user_id value and trying to insert last two rows as new rows.
I m using the below insert query in laravel controller :
if(!empty(Input::get('user_id')))
{
    for($i = 0; $i < count(Input::get('name')); $i++)
    {

        $id   = Input::get('user_id')[$i];
        $data = User::find($id);
        $data->name          = Input::get('name')[$i];
        $data->email         = Input::get('email')[$i];
        $data->phone         = Input::get('phone')[$i];
        $data->save();
  }
}

if(empty(Input::get('user_id')))
{
    for($i = 0; $i < count(Input::get('name')); $i++)
    {
        $new                = new User();
        $new->name          = Input::get('name')[$i];
        $new->email         = Input::get('email')[$i];
        $new->phone         = Input::get('phone')[$i];
        $new->save();
  }
}

But its not working properly . can somebody suggest me any solution for this ?

A: You should be using a foreach loop to, well, loop through the fields and do something if it is empty or not.
Maybe, something like this would help you.
$fields = Input::get('user_id');

foreach($fields as $field)
{
    if(! empty($field))
    {
        // field is not empty
        // update here
    }
    else
    {
        // field is empty
        // do something here
    }
}

New York Power Authority Announces Partnership with Israel on Energy-Sector Innovation Challenge
For Immediate Release: 7/8/19
Contact: Paul DeMichele (NYPA) | paul.demichele@nypa.gov | 914-390-8186
$2.5 Million Competition among Israeli Firms with Expertise in Energy Efficiency, Clean Energy Generation and Cybersecurity
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the Israel Smart Energy Association (ISEA) are holding a competition among innovative Israeli firms with expertise in energy efficiency, clean energy generation and cybersecurity to address the growing demand of next-generation electric vehicle technology, enhanced electric grid reliability, energy storage, and other technologies that will allow for more flexibility with electricity demand. The New York-Israel Energy Innovation Challenge is modelled after the NYPA Innovation Challenge announced earlier this year by the Governor. The $2.5 million competition bolsters the Governor's comprehensive agenda to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and growing the clean energy economy.
The partnership was one of several announced last week by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo upon his return from his solidarity trip to Israel. The plan supports New York's nation-leading clean energy and jobs agenda that is driving New York to a carbon-free economy and the recently enacted Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which creates the most aggressive climate change program in the U.S.
Gil C. Quinones, NYPA president and CEO, said, "The New York-Israel Innovation Challenge is a natural extension of our previous collaborations and will allow New York and Israel—two of the world's leading technology hubs—to generate greater innovation and yield considerable benefits for both parties and for utilities around the world. The Power Authority's partnerships with Israeli firms in the energy industry have been invaluable during NYPA's digital transformation and we expect that this competition will yield far-reaching benefits as well."
Elad Shaviv, CEO of the Israeli Smart Energy Association, said, "We are excited to cooperate with NYPA to support the transformation of the energy sector. The New York-Israel Innovation Challenge, brings enormous benefit in bridging the challenging gap between innovative solutions and commercial usage, and will benefit both New York and Israel in building a healthier and safer environment while creating jobs and sector leadership."
ISEA, which serves as a national platform to bring together local and global smart energy players and stakeholders to share knowledge, drive initiatives, and build partnerships, will act as an innovation hub to facilitate the competition. The challenge will allow NYPA and ISEA to identify several innovative companies and prepare winners for working with large utilities with the intention of creating significant advances in grid reliability, storage, sustainability and affordability, all of which benefit ratepayers, utilities and the environment. Winners will also have the opportunity to apply their technologies in pilot demonstration projects with NYPA in New York State.
Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to save money, improve safety or operations, reduce maintenance, improve efficiency or save manpower or time. The solutions need to be viable, replicable and able to be commercialized.
NYPA has been building on its business partnerships with Israeli firms over the last several years to advance new technology pilots in support of its strategy to become a fully digital utility, end-to-end. NYPA is collaborating with Israeli firms mPrest and Brenmiller Energy in a wide-variety of areas with an emphasis on physical and cyber security.
mPrest, a leading provider of monitoring and control systems, assisted NYPA in developing a first-of-its-kind monitoring system to identify and prevent potentially costly problems before they occur at NYPA's statewide network of power projects and transmissions assets. Israeli developer Brenmiller Energy coordinated with NYPA to test the use of thermal energy storage with combined heat and power to increase system energy efficiency once installed on a State University of New York campus.
About NYPA
NYPA is the largest state public power organization in the nation, operating 16 generating facilities and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. More than 70 percent of the electricity NYPA produces is clean renewable hydropower. NYPA uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity.

According to new rankings released by real estate brokers Movoto, Honolulu is the fourth best city in America for home sellers. The bad news? When it comes to the best cities to buy a house, we don't even break the top 50.
The news that homes in Honolulu are expensive is not exactly, you know, news. But we decided to dig a little deeper into Movoto's methodology to understand exactly how sellers got themselves the upper-hand. This is a post-game breakdown of how Honolulu accomplished the somewhat paradoxical feat of becoming a great place to unload a property without being a good place to pick one up.
These factors worked in Honolulu's advantage on both sets of rankings, because they keep property values high over time—something buyers and sellers both care about. Among the top 100 most crowded cities in America, we boast the 7th lowest crime rate and the 8th best school quality.
Fewer homes on the market is good news for sellers; the competition among buyers allows them to set high prices. On the flipside, as affordability decreases, buyers lose out.
Honolulu was ranked fourth in terms of low unemployment (Seattle came first, but the difference was a manini .2 percent). People with jobs buy houses so it makes sense that low unemployment benefits sellers. For buyers, unfortunately, this is where it gets a little tricky. A low unemployment rate is usually a good indicator that resale values will be strong (point for buyers). In this case, though, Movoto believes the increased competition for the limited Honolulu housing inventory outweighs the resale concerns (buyers lose point).

Marian women's basketball drops NACC matchup with Alverno
Marian University women's basketball (2-4, 0-2 NACC) were outscored 20-10 in the second quarter, which proved to be a big factor in a 69-54 loss to Alverno.
Three different Sabres scored double-figures in the loss led by senior Brandi Bender who had 14 points and four assists. Junior Rachel Serchen added 13 points and six rebounds, while junior Molly Magnus chipped in 11 points.
The three-point line also proved to be a factor in the game as Marian would go scoreless beyond the arc on seven shots, while Alverno went 9-22 (.409) from three-point land. The Inferno shot efficiently in the game finishing 27-60 from the field (.450).
Marian trailed at the end of the first quarter 18-15 but would rally to tie the game at 23-23 with 4:29 left in the second quarter after a layup from junior Christina Jagiello. The Inferno responded, however, rattling off a 9-0 run that put them up 32-23 with 2:08 left in the quarter forcing a Marian timeout. Alverno would go the remainder of the game without relinquishing the lead.
In the third quarter, the Sabres would cut their 13-point halftime deficit down to nine twice and managed to outscore the Inferno 17-16 for the quarter but couldn't rally any closer.
The Sabre defense forced 14 turnovers in the loss but could only manage nine points off of the Alverno miscues.
Marian remains at home when they host Concordia Wisconsin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5.

Sasha Djordjevic, "Alexander the Great"
Mar 17, 2013 by Vladimir Stankovic Print
In the 1971-72 season, Crvena Zvezda won the Yugoslavian League with a powerful team formed by veteran Vladimir Cvetkovic, two young talents, albeit world champs already in 1970, like Ljubodrag Simonovic and Dragan Kapicic, the great guard Zoran Slavnic and his subsitute Goran Rakocevic (father of Igor Rakocevic), the useful big man Dragisa Vucinic and many others. The coach of that team was Bratislav "Bata" Djordjevic and behind the bench, there used to be a curious kid always with a ball in his hands. That was Aleksandar "Sasha" Djordjevic, born August 26, 1967 in Belgrade, the eldest son of the Zvezda head coach. It was impossible to foresee that he would be a great player but it was clear that he was interested by the ball.
The career of this future great guard in European basketball started in the youth categories of Crvena Zvezda and Radnicki Belgrade, but he had to go to Partizan to develop his great talent. In the 1983-84 season, at 16 years old, he made his debut with the first team but in his first five games he only scored two points. The following season he was already better, with 89 points in 22 games. Curiously enough, Svetislav Pesic, national coach for the Yugoslav youth categories, never called him for the European championship in Ruse, Bulgaria. In a team with Toni Kukoc, Vlade Divac, Neboja Ilic and others, the guards were Zoran Kalpic and Nenad Trunic. He had similar numbers in the 1985-86 season with Partizan – 80 points in 21 games – showing his potential while he had already became a staple on the junior national team. In the European championship in Gmunden, Austria, he won a gold medal after seven victories, winning the final against USSR by 111-87. It was a great team with Djordjevic, Luka Pavicevic and Teoman Alibegovic as main newcomers on a team that would have its best moments one year later at the world championship in Bormio.
Duo with Divac
In the summer of 1986, Vlade Divac left Sloga Kraljevo and joined Partizan at 18 years old. At that time, and because of stupid childish reasons, he didn't talk to Djordjevic, but as smart as he is, Divac thought to himself: "I am a center and I need a great point guard, and the best is Djordjevic, so I am going to Partizan." Said and done. That was the birth of a great duo that didn't last long in Partizan as Divac went to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1989, but on the Yugoslav national team, the tandem still had a long way to go.
Since his childhood, Djordjevic showed he was leader material. Smart by nature, the boss on the court and with authority to understand basketball better than his temmates and by having a personal coach at home, Sasha was the first violin in a great Partizan generation that sports director Dragan Kicanovic would build little by little. Djordjevic drew attention because of his impeccable technique, his great court vision, his excellent shot and the courage to take reponsibility when it mattered. I remember a game by him against Crvena Zvezda in Pionir, he was still a junior, when he came off the bench and in four straight offensive plays he hit 4 three-pointers to turn the game upside down.
His first Yugoslav League title with Partizan arrived in 1987. That same summer, Kreso Cosic, a great visionary, called him and three other future stars – Vlade Divac (who had already played the 1986 Worlds in Spain), Toni Kukoc and Dino Radja – for the Athens EuroBasket. Djordjevic, coming off the bench, would score 8 points to help Yugoslavia win the bronze medal against Spain, 98-87. After Athens, the four youngsters went to the junior national team coached by Pesic to play the Bormio Worlds. On August 5, captain Djordjevic lifted the trophy after a great win in the final against the excellent USA Team.
The following season, Djordjevic would lead Partizan with 16.7 points per game on its way to the first Euroleague Final Four in Ghent, in 1988. In 1989, that great Partizan generation won the national cup first against rival Jugoplastika, while in March it won the Korac Cup. After losing to Cantu, 89-76, despite great games by Divac (28) and Djordjevic (22), the chances to recover in the second game were scarce, but Partizan made it: 101-82 after the great duo scored 51 points (30 by Divac, 21 by Djordjevic) plus 22 by Zarko Paspalj. It was enough to overcome a great night by Antonello Riva, who scored 36 points. After not making it to the national team for the 1990 world championships in Argentina, Djordjevic was back with the Yugoslav team for the 1991 EuroBasket in Rome, where Yugoslavia, complete for the last time (save for Jure Zdovc, who left the team under Slovenian government orders on the eve of the semifinal), won the gold medal with great authority.
Miracle in Istanbul
The 1991-92 season has a privileged spot in the memory of all Partizan fans. It was the year of the triple crown: national league, national cup and the Euroleague title, won in the unforgettable final played in Istanbul against Joventut Badalona. With 8 seconds to go, Tomas Jofresa hit two points for a 70-68 Joventut advantage, but Djordjevic got the ball from Koprivica, crossed the court and pulled up almost on the buzzer for an amazing three that meant, as of today, the only European champions' crown ever for Partizan. He finished the game with 23 points.
At 25 years old he moved to Italy to join Philips Milan, with whom he won his second Korac Cup against Virtus Roma. In the first game in Rome, Milan won 95-90 with 29 points by Djordjevic. Back at home, Milan also won 106-91 as Sasha hit 38 points including 6 of 11 threes, plus 7 assists and 5 rebounds. In other words, a total fireworks display. However, one of the best games in Djordjevic's career was in the title game against Lithuania in the 1995 Athens EuroBasket. Yugolsavia won by 96-90 with 41 points by Djordjevic, including 9 of 12 triples, while on the other side Sarunas Marciulionis shined with 32 points. It was the best EuroBasket final I have ever seen. Djordjevic was enormously popular and fans called him "Sale (nickname for Sasha) Nazionale" while the press christened him "Alexander the Great".
After two years in Milano, Sasha spent two more years in Fortitudo Bologna, When, in the summer of 1996, he decided to try his luck in the NBA with the Portland Trail Blazers, he left behind four years in Italy with 218 Italian League games averaging 18.2 points and hitting 44.7% from downtown. Sasha Djordjevic was a great passer but he was a scoring playmaker, thanks to his great outside shot. Above all his many qualities he had a strong character. He was a natural-born winner, a fighter who never gave up. He had the thing that only great champions have: self-confidence to take responsibility, to shoot the last ball and, on top of that, to score it.
Before starting in Portland, he won the silver medal at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. After that, his NBA adventure began but it only lasted for a few months with discreet numbers. In 8 games he scored 25 points, averaging 7.6 minutes but from the arc he made 5 of 7 shots. In late December, he decided to come back to Europe and he chose FC Barcelona. When he landed, with the character of a champ, he said: "I am the leader that Barça needs". He made his debut on January 3, 1997 in Granada with a 85-90 Barca win and he scored his first 13 points, 8 of them in money time, enough for the headline the next day in the sports newspaper El Mundo Deportivo: "Djordjevic wins". Two days later, against Caja San Fernando, an 84-90 victory, he scored 17 points and dished 11 assists. With Barcelona, he would win his first Spanish League title and, that same summer, also in Barcelona, he would win a new gold medal with Yugoslavia in the EuroBasket. Before beating Italy in the final, in the group stage in Badalona, Djordjevic hit a similar three-pointer to the Istanbul one: with 4 seconds to go, Croatia was winning by 2, but Djordjevic crossed the court again pulled up and shot over Slaven Rimac for a three that gave Yugoslavia the title. He would eventually be chosen as MVP of the tournament.
He stayed in Barcelona two more years and won his third Korac Cup against Estudiantes in 1999, with his 20 points in Madrid and 18 in Barcelona, but in April 1997 he lost his second Euroleague final against Olympiacos in Rome, in what was probably his worst game in a final. He only scored 7 points while on the other side, his direct opponent David Rivers shined with 23 points. In the Athens Worlds in 1998, despite recovering from a recent knee injury, he helped Dejan Bodiroga and Zeljko Rebraca lead Yugoslavia to another world crown.
In the summer of 1999 Barcelona decided not to renew him. He then signed for Barça's "eternal enemy" Real Madrid. He played three seasons there, and he took a Spanish League title in 2000, winning Game 5 of the final series in Barcelona against his old team. After Madrid, he played three more years in Italy (Scavolini Pesaro and, again, Milano) where he put an end to his brilliant carrer in June of 2005. He started his coaching career also in Milano in 2006-07. Last season he coached Benetton Treviso, but when the club disappeared he was out of a job. He now lives in Milano waiting for the right offer.
Many people in Serbia think that he will be national coach in the future...


Put me in a room full of strangers and it is pure nirvana to me. Literally, I just get excited to meet new people – to understand what they do, where they work, or sometimes simply where they live. I am a curious person; it may be a bit nutty, but I love to walk out of a conference with business cards, new knowledge, or an idea to share back at the office. Sometimes I have met someone who later becomes a friend, or even someone I have hired.
I say hello to people in elevators and often introduce myself. Once on an elevator on my way to an interview I was nervous and preoccupied — so distracted that I did not recognize the CEO of the company. Fortunately, I spoke to him and said good morning. Later when he formally introduced himself, I shared that I had not recognized him because he looked so young in person in comparison to published photos. Fortunately, he had a sense of humor, and I got a job offer.
Why is this social networking so helpful or valuable to me?
When I have a dilemma at work. I have a broad network of people I can leverage for advice or critique. I also have the ability to quickly access information and resources, and that enhances my personal credibility and value.
I am also a firm believer in "paying it forward" and networking is one way to make the world a bit smaller and more connected. Help a new college graduate navigate to their first job. Make an introduction for a colleague who may have lost their job due to a restructuring or downsizing event. I have found people have long memories of how you assisted them on their life's journey.
Now, there is an art to this — or rather, an unspoken code of conduct. You need to be courteous and respectful of your contacts. You have to verify whether they are open to receiving or giving outreach. You also cannot go back to the same contact over and over. That's called stalking!
Are you leveraging your social media, like LinkedIn? Is there an opportunity to introduce members of your network to each other for their mutual benefit? Reach out to contacts that you have not spoken to in a while to refresh the relationship. Initiate a happy hour to bring people together several times a year.
Don't worry if you are not an extrovert like me. Please know the rejection risk to building your network is low. Most people want to broaden their professional circle. People like to talk about their experiences of success, or challenges, or even failures. This is particularly true if they can see a professional or personal benefit.
No matter what stage you are on the career spectrum, you can benefit from the insight and influence of others. Do some outreach, leverage your interests and schedule some coffee appointments — I promise you will see the benefit. Good luck.

                                            ID="txtfocus2" class="modalpopup2" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>
                                    </ItemTemplate>
                                    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
                                    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
                                </asp:TemplateField>

                            </Columns>
                        </asp:GridView>

I am able to obtain the row index with the following code:
<script>
            $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.modalpopup').focus(function () {
                var iIndex = $(this).closest("tr").prevAll("tr").length;

                 });
            });

How do I use this to obtain the cell value in column 2 and the row given by iIndex?

A: This will work:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.modalpopup').focus(function () {
            var idString = this.id.replace("txtfocus", "txtfocus2");
            var rowNumber = this.id.split("_")[3];
            alert($("#" + idString).val() + " - " + rowNumber);
        });
    });
</script>

You just have to make sure that the split function is correct. Check the ID of a textbox in the gridview (should look something like this ContentPlaceHolder1_gridviewSLds_txtfocus_14)

Electables: Biggest impediment to change in Pakistan
Farid A Malik|
Electables have proven to be the biggest impediment to change. They negate the basic concept of ballot driven democracy. Influence has always existed amongst humans but it should not lead to foul play. The Democratic order does not accept the right to rule or to get elected against the will of the people. In the words of a poet:
'In democracy, individuals are counted not weighed'
Read more: Why Election Commission of Pakistan has repeatedly failed?
Functional democracies of the world have formulated various methods to create balance and rationality. In the UK the birthplace of parliamentary democracy is an appointed House of Lords and elected Commons.
Pakistan also has a bicameral legislature. While the national assembly is directly elected by the people, the Senate is elected indirectly by the provincial assemblies. It is this upper house that has brought balance in lawmaking. Several ill-conceived legislations have been blocked by the Senators. In the nineties, Mian Nawaz Sharif desired to be the Caliph of the Islamic Republic.
PTI was launched as a party of change. Role of the electables has to be defined and contained for the Tehrik to lead the crusade for 'Naya Pakistan' otherwise it will be business as usual.
The bill was passed by the national assembly but could not become law due to defeat in the Senate. However, the recently legislated electoral reforms bill is a serious blot on the credibility of this house.
State-sponsored political strong-arming was blatantly used during the dictatorship of Ayub Khan. He called it Basic Democracy (BD), the elected representatives were called BD members. The Electoral College was limited to 80,000 members 40,000 from each wing of the country. In the 1965 Presidential elections, Ayub Khan used the 'Thana' to ensure electability. Despite his coercive mechanisms, the dictator lost to Madre Millat in Karachi.
The students surrounded the police stations, as a result, the SHO's were not able to control the BD members of their respective areas who then voted freely for Ms. Jinnah. It proved to be the beginning of the end for the mighty General.
Pakistan also has a bicameral legislature. While the national assembly is directly elected by the people, the Senate is elected indirectly by the provincial assemblies.
The 1970 elections remain the only credible electoral exercise in the country till today. It is not clear whether it was an aberration or a model for our democratic order. Most electables had to lick their wounds. Influence, clan, tribe, money, local grouping, manipulation everything failed against the will of the people exercised through a credible ballot.
Both victorious parties relied on ideology to attract the voters. Mujib's Awami League (AL) fought for autonomy, while Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) offered social equality ideology prevailed over electability in the only free and fair election ever held.
Opinions differ about the conduct of elections in 1970 and its aftermath which resulted in the breakup of Quaid's Pakistan. People overwhelmingly voted for change. Awami League (160/162) and People's Party (81/138) emerged as major political players. In Lahore Bhutto's party won all the seats. Comrades like Dr. Mubashir Hassan and Sheikh Rashid (Baba-e-Socialism) were elected with thumping majority. Since then there have been ten manipulated elections and two fake referendums mainly by the connivance of the establishment.
Read more: Parliament needs to be cleansed of the Abu Jahal's of our…
Recently in Punjab and Sindh, the high courts had to intervene in the appointment of Inspector Generals of Police. With their long stints in power both PML-N and PPP control the administrative setup.
Electables do not play by the rules of democracy as they consider their influence above any order. PTI the party of change also came under attack of the electables in the Inter-Party Elections (IPEs) held in 2012. Since then the party has been on a roller coaster ride with internal divisions between the 'idealogues' who desire change and electables who represent status-quo.
Electables have proven to be the biggest impediment to change. They negate the basic concept of ballot driven democracy.
The country has been in the political wilderness for 70 years, the scourge of the electables has to be understood and managed for democracy to flourish. Another credible ballot in 2018 remains the only viable option with a limited role for the electables. Those who defy ballot defeat democracy, it is time to weed them out.

Sidney Michael Dickens (born 1963) is a Vancouver-based artist. He is best known for his popular and highly collectible tiles called Memory Blocks.
Sid Dickens divides his time between Haida Gwaii and his studio in Vancouver.
Religious iconography, historic, romantic images and cracked facades are common themes in his Memory Blocks.

Life and career
Sid Dickens was born into a fishing family in the small northern community of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. After graduating high school in 1981, he  worked as a fisherman on and off until he was 28 years old; in the off-season, he served burgers on the ferries and dedicated his spare time to drawing and painting.

In 1983, Dickens enrolled in the prestigious Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1983. He left Emily Carr after one year and returned to Prince Rupert. In 1986, he went on a long backpacking trip through Europe that greatly influenced his aesthetic. Upon his return, he settled in Haida Gwaii with his mother, who had taken a job in Sandspit, on Moresby Island. He spent the next few years working as a logger in the isolated forests. He founded a studio there and began to create large assemblage pieces using materials that he found around him including whalebone, mud, metal, leaves and copper wire left over from the logging industry. He was also experimenting with welding, creating jewelry and chain link.

In 1990, he attended an art school in the internationally renowned artists' colony of San Miguel de Allende in the north central mountains of Mexico.

Memory Blocks
Dickens began making Memory Blocks while he was working in Vancouver during the early 1990s in a studio on Hastings Street.

Memory Blocks have evolved to become individually hand crafted plaster tiles, measuring 6" × 8" × 1" and finished to a porcelain-like quality, cracked to create an aged look and feel. Some memory blocks are embellished with silver and gold leafing done by hand.

The Memory Blocks are now internationally distributed and Dickens has a strong following of collectors that create websites and forums on his behalf.The marketing strategy is similar to Lladro and Royal Doulton porcelain figureines, where styles and collections are often produced in limited runs, and retired pieces are valued as highly collectible.

You have to plan them days, weeks, and maybe even months in advance. They have to flow with the rest of your editorial calendar otherwise people might not even knowing you have a blog unless they go directly on your site (this was me … well actually, this still is me most of the time).
Some say it's like a full time job, but I would say it could easily become three full-time jobs because of all the work that's involved not only behind-the-scenes but also on the front line as well (engaging with others, building your community, etc.).
Not only are you the blogger but also the admin, the bookkeeper, the marketer, the salesperson, etc., so it's really important to automate and streamline your process when you can.
What does it look like for you to get from point A (no idea) to point B (published post)?
It really helped me I wrote down everything I did to get a blog post into my queue and onto my blog, because for the first few months, admittedly I wasn't the most efficient person (even though I was somehow batching tasks at the time). Now I can gather 4 blog posts in a setting and get them all in a queue - and if I work really hard and apply myself (with minimal distractions - because hey I'm not perfect), I can get a whole month's worth of content in a matter of days.
Add in images and graphics.
Add in any relevant links.
2. Use an editorial calendar.
I absolutely love scheduling my blog posts one month in advance (if possible), because it just saves so much headache and anxiety. One thing I really struggled with is writing to write in real time - or I guess post in real time.
But the truth is, just because I wrote something a month ago doesn't mean it won't be relevant anymore. It's called creating evergreen content. Content that will last forever and pretty much always be relevant. This post I wrote on 45 Self-Care Ideas for the Mind, Body, and Soul is an example of an evergreen post. It was relevant in 2017, and it'll still be relevant and useful in 2020.
So instead scrambling each week to decide on what blog post to write and post, schedule at least a few evergreen posts in your niche in advance!
Instead of working on a million different tasks within an afternoon (which takes up a lot of brain space and mental energy tbh), work on a few or even just one thing! For example, I write multiple blog posts in a single setting, edit them one after the other, and create graphics for them all at once.
Because since I'm already in the headspace of doing a particular task, I don't have to constantly be thinking, "Okay, what's next?" or trying to reinvent the wheel. The wheel has already been invented, and it will make your life so much easier if you work efficiently.
Since I like to write my blog posts in batches, I also schedule them to my editorial calendar in batches as well.
In an ideal world (I say that because I haven't perfected this yet), I would have Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and newsletters in sync with my blog posts and the theme of what I'm currently talking about.
Is there a lot of work involved in blogging? Yes, but are there ways to make it easier and more efficient for yourself? Yes!
In this day and age, you need to work smart and in the most efficient way possible because there are so many things going on. Plus, there are so many resources and tools out there to help you make this happen.
What's your biggest pain point when it comes to blogging?

Red Sox vs. White Sox lineups: New threads, new winning streak

The Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox will play game one of their weekends series this afternoon at Fenway Park (4:05 p.m. EST, NESN, MLBN out-of-market). Thanks to some precipitation, the series opener was postponed on Friday.
The Red Sox, who will be in the City Connect uniforms that were unveiled earlier this month, have nine wins on the season, which is tied with Seattle for the most victories in the AL. However, the Red Sox have a half game lead on the Mariners by virtue of having one fewer losses. Math! The Red Sox's most recent outing ended in one of those setbacks, with a 4-3 walkoff job by the Minnesota Twins on Thursday halting a nine-game winning streak for Boston.
Nick Pivetta will be tasked with getting the next winning streak started, as he will take the mound for the Red Sox today. Pivetta has been OK in his first two starts, most recently allowing four earned runs over six innings against the Baltimore Orioles. His walk rate sits a bit too high (15.2 percent), as he's allowed seven free passes in 11 total innings. Here's hoping he locates a bit better today.
Pivetta will duel with the White Sox's Dylan Cease. The 25-year-old, who the White Sox brought off the 10-day injured list yesterday, failed to record five innings of work in either of his first two starts this season, getting pulled after 4 2⁄3 frames against both the Kansas City Royals and the Los Angeles Angels.
Here is the lineup for today's game. Kevin Plawecki will stand in for Christian Vazquez, while Marwin Gonzalez takes over first for Bobby Dalbec. In addition, Christian Arroyo's recently hot bat will stay in the lineup, with Arroyo at second base and Enrique Hernández in center field. Everything else is about what you'd expect for the Red Sox.

1 Enrique Hernández, CF Tim Anderson, SS

Q: Vue.js component data not being updated after GET I have a component that contains a default object, and on create GETs a populated object. When trying to bind this.profile to the new object it seems to get the correct data in the method but the change is not pushed back to other uses of this.profile. Is there a way to force this change to be picked up by the rest of the script?
export default {
data() {
    return {
        profile: {
            firstName: 'Seller First Name',
            surname: 'Seller Surname',
            username: '',
            biography: 'Seller biography.',
            phoneNumber: 'Seller Phone Number',
            emailAddress: 'Seller Email',
            profilePhotoUrl: '',
            testimonials: []
        }
    };
},

components: {
    ProfileSummary,
    Biography,
    TestimonialList,
    PaymentsenseCompany
},

created() {
    console.log('created');
    this.getProfile(this.$route.params.sellerUsername);
},

methods: {
    getProfile(sellerUsername) {
        axios.get('http://fieldsellerprofileapi.azurewebsites.net/api/fieldseller/' + sellerUsername)
        .then(function(response) {
            this.profile = Object.assign({}, response.data);
            Vue.nextTick(() => {
                console.log('after', this);
            });
        }.bind(this))
        .catch(e => {
            console.log(e);
            // location.replace('/404');
        });
    }
},

A: Im not sure, but try this:
getProfile(sellerUsername) {
  axios
    .get('http://fieldsellerprofileapi.azurewebsites.net/api/fieldseller/' + sellerUsername)
    .then(r => this.profile = r.data)
    .catch(e => console.log(e))
}

A: So it turns out the issue wasn't that the values weren't being updated. They were being saved fine, I was just trying to access them in a child component which was not being updated with the parent for some reason. The changes were not propagating down to the children... This may be of use researching if you have the same issue.
Thanks
