January 18 (IndiaToday) – Two out of seven Covid-19 vaccine beneficiaries who had developed severe adverse symptoms after being immunized have died. So far, India has immunized over 3.81 lakh health care workers, out of which 580 people developed adverse event following immunization (AEFI).
According to senior officials the Union health ministry, most adverse events reported were minor including fever, headache and nausea. Seven out of these 580 cases of AEFI required hospitalization.
Of the three cases reported from Delhi, two have been discharged whereas one case is under observation at Max Hospital, Patparganj. The reported case of AEFI in Uttarakhand is stable and under observation at AIIMS, Rishikesh.
In Chhattisgarh, one person is under observation at the Government Medical College, Rajnandgaon.
Karnataka has two cases of AEFI, one is under observation at District Hospital, Chitradurga and the second person is under observation at General Hospital, Challakere, Chitradurga.
Of the two deaths reported, the authorities have said that the death of Moradabad man who was vaccinated on Saturday and died on Sunday was not related to vaccination. The post-mortem report is awaited in the second death case, reported on Monday from Bellary, Karnataka.
MORADABAD, UP
On Sunday night, a ward staff in a hospital in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh died a day after being vaccinated against Covid-19. Even as his family blamed the death on the vaccine, the UP government said that man died due to septic shock and cardiac arrest and the death was "not related to the Covid-19 vaccination".
"An adverse event following immunization (AEFI) committee probed the death of the man in Moradabad. The cause of death was septicemic shock and cardiac arrest and it has nothing to do with the vaccination," the state's Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Amit Mohan Prasad told reporters in Lucknow.
BELLARY, KARNATAKA
A case of death after vaccination has also been reported from Bellary in Karnataka. The deceased was a male aged 43 years. He was vaccinated on Saturday and died on Monday. According to a government statement, the cause of his death was anterior wall infarction with cardiopulmonary failure. The post mortem is scheduled for Monday at Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, Bellary, Karnataka.
WHAT IS AEFI – ADVERSE EVENTS POST IMMUNIZATION?
Adverse Event Post Immunization or AEFI is any unexpected medical occurrence which follows immunisation. It may or may not be related to the vaccine or vaccination process.
#Majority of the AEFIs are minor in nature: pain, mild swelling at the injection site, mild fever, body ache, nausea, giddiness and mild allergic reactions like rashes, etc.
#Only a few AEFIs may require hospitalization. These cases are classified under serious AEFIs.
#Protocols are in place for reporting, immediate case management at vaccination session site, transportation and hospitalisation and further care of such cases.
#Protocols are also in place for systematic investigation and causality assessment of serious AEFIs.
CSIR chief Dr Shekhar Mande said that most AEFIs are identifiable with 45 minutes but a recipients are advised to monitor their health for 15 days.
"Any adverse event needs to be monitored for 45 minutes, generally any serious adverse event is known in less than half an hour. Every few days, normally for 15 days, beneficiaries are given a form to track their health after vaccination," he said.
"In case of any adverse event, the onus is on vaccine companies. In such cases, it is very important to know and there are ways to find out is it an independent event, or is it correlated with the vaccine," Dr Shekhar Mande said.
Ethical expert of health and police Anant Bhan furthered stressed on the need to catalogue all AEFIs.
"All AEFI events should be catalogued, and looked into in detail, including for any causality. Established norms for AEFI in the country should be followed as set up by Union health ministry and WHO looking at the special situation of the pandemic," he said.
Anant Bhan also said, "An adverse event could happen up to a few days after vaccination. Even in the clinical trials for the vaccines, clinical trial participants are I think being proactively followed up for a week post-vaccination. Both vaccines are still undergoing local trials hence this event needs to be taken seriously and looked into rather than dismissing it outright."
A body called Indian pharmacopoeia commission under health ministry also looks at adverse events post-vaccination. However, largely the onus lies on vaccine-makers.

By pure coincidence, Alicia has had many difficult cases; with patients with animals, bugs, complaince issues, and has taken it with stride. No complaints have left her mouth, she doesn't make her cases public & always looks for the good in these cases. She has had to perform care that some wouldn't consider doing as RNs, and doesn't show anything but integrity and shows the patients compassion. She goes above & beyond without needing acknowledgment, but deserves it.

Mobilization of 15,000 troops from the United States National Guard to ensure the inauguration of Biden, state of emergency and the icing on the cake, he will not attend the position …
Additional units of the National Guard arrived in #WashingtonDC during the night, some were sent to the #CapitolBuilding pic.twitter.com/xeECJdUSeq

Hukanson explained that forces of between 10,000 and 15,000 National Guardsmen are expected to be deployed to the city on Saturday to improve security, safe transportation, logistics and communications, during the ceremony, which will take place on the 20th of this month.
The US network "abcnews" revealed today that the FBI warned that armed protests are being planned in Washington, DC and 50 US state capitals before Biden's inauguration.
He claimed that a certain armed group planned to travel to Washington on January 16 and promised an uprising if an attempt was made to remove Trump from power.
US President Donald Trump (in file photo) has declared that an emergency exists in Washington DC ordered Federal assistance to supplement the District's response efforts due to emergency conditions resulting from 59th Presidential Inauguration from Jan 11 to Jan 24, the White House said on Monday.
Trump approved an emergency declaration for Washington after authorities warned of security threats to President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week.

What is the emergency order ?
YOU MUST READ (AR) goggles for U.S. soldiers dogs
The order authorises federal assistance to be extended through January 24 to support efforts in Washington, DC to respond to the emergency situation. It specifically allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency to "identify, mobilise and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency".
Why the order was approved?
The move comes in the wake of the recent US Capitol Siege on January 6, allegedly incited by Trump's claims that the presidential election of 2020 was stolen. In an unprecedented sight, thousands of pro-Trump protesters marched towards the Capitol and entered its premises wreaking havoc as the security guards were outnumbered. In the violence that followed, as many as 5 people lost their lives. .

As per reports, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also warned of possible armed protests in all 50 states and in the US capital in the days leading up to Biden's inauguration on January 20.
Trump impeachment:
Democrats say the House will consider the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Wednesday, one week after an angry mob of his supporters invaded the Capitol, reports said.
House Democrats have moved quickly to draft an article of impeachment charging Trump with incitement of insurrection because he egged on thousands of his supporters ahead of the riots by falsely telling them that the election was stolen from him.

Review—"Cabin in the Woods."
By Kristofer Lenz April 21, 2012 Arts & Culture, Entertainment
In 1996 Wes Craven upended the horror-genre with "Scream," his rapier-quick, conceptually-adept slasher flick. The film alternately mocked, codified and exalted the tired horror clichés Craven himself helped create with his previous work. The years following this high-water mark have seen a new low in a genre that has never been terribly concerned with high-minded cinema. The "Scream" sequels descended further and further into mockeries of themselves. Concurrently the "Saw" franchise (and the endless imitators it spawned) opened the current epoch of "torture porn." The magnitude of horrific dismemberment and torture portrayed is only as appalling as the teeming crowd's lined up to pay good money to wallow in that mire. Even "torture-porn" experienced a nadir (hopefully) with the faux-intellectual debacle of "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)."

It's in this miasma of debased torture-porn, tired slasher remakes and movies more or less stolen from Asia that Joss Whedon (co-writer) and Drew Goddard (co-writer/producer) set out to redefine the horror genre again with "Cabin in the Woods." After sitting through a pre-screening surrounded by horror experts and movie critics (and carefully gauging their jumps and laughs) I can safely say horror fans have a new cult classic on their hands. Whedon and Goddard do what Craven did so well with "Scream," but notch everything up a few levels. The wit and satire are sharper than ever, the screams are well earned and the conceptual framework is really quite stunning.
"Cabin in the Woods" is based around the most obvious of horror tropes; five hapless college students are headed to the mysterious cabin for a relaxing weekend. The creative and spectacular deaths that await them are really just cogs pushing along a thematic framework that encompasses a lampoon of the horror genre (while simultaneously paying homage… somehow) and also creating a rich, terrifying world that seems (almost) ripe for sequels.
The five students in question slide easily into the horror stereotypes you know and love. At the movie's center are The Virgin (Kristen Connolly) and her friends, The Slut (Anna Hutchison) and her boyfriend The Jock (Chris Hemsworth). Also along for the ride are the Sensitive Nerd (Jesse Williams) and the Stoner (Fran Kranz). From the very beginning Whedon and Goddard are hard at work reversing and surprising our expectations: The Slut just dyed her hair blond recently (and is in a committed relationship) while the The Virgin suggests she has been embroiled in less-than-virtuous misdeeds that led up to this little vacation.

Fans of Joss Whedon's previous work will not be disappointed by this new venture. Much of the same elements that defined "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Angel" and his other less durable projects are immediately apparent. The female lead is charming and simultaneously vulnerable and powerful. The dialogue is self-aware and lightning quick. And finally, Whedon's preternatural gift for compelling world-building is on full display. "Cabin in the Woods'" back-story involves a history as old as the world, full of bit parts and quick characters just begging for a movie of their own. The denouement offers a trip through a masque of horror-characters too terrifying to comprehend. But I don't want to give too much away…
There is plenty in "Cabin in the Woods" for horror fans to enjoy. Anyone familiar with the genre tropes will get a kick out of Whedon and Goddard's systematic dismantling and justification. The kills are often creative and are likely to be satisfying to the gore-hunter. But the fan most likely to enjoy is the intelligent, self-aware horror fan who doesn't mind taking one on the chin. The films most vicious evisceration is saved for the depraved looky-loo who can't wait to see a glimpse of bare breast or a graphic kill. Whedon and Goddard respect their audience, but go out of their way to use on film stand-ins to point out the ridiculousness of salivating over ultra-violence.

Escaped King Cobra Not Located, Owner on the Lookout
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - This weekend, the owner of an king cobra is searching his property after the snake escaped.
On Friday, Florida Fish and Wildlife set up traps in an attempt to capture it. They are not searching for it on Saturday, but say they are monitoring the situation.
The large king cobra went missing from an Orlando-area home. The 8-foot snake, which is venomous and extremely dangerous, escaped from a residence off of North Apopka-Vineland Road on Tuesday. It is olive green and yellow in color. Officers released a photograph of a similar snake (pictured in gallery over blue background) which is kept at the same home.
Story continues below >>>
"My experience with escaped snakes is they're usually caught pretty close to where they got away," said George Van Horn with Reptile World Serpetarium in St. Cloud, where more than 100 cobras are handled on a daily basis where researchers can study their venom. "If there's a lot of undeveloped land, the chances are, they'll never see this snake again." Van Horn said the good news is that the snake wouldn't want to be around people. "They don't chase people," he added.

Olympians Cook Is launching website this Olympic Week
Tuesday June 18, 2019	Written by Published in Sports
In celebration of World of Olympic Day, Olympians Cook Islands is launching its official website.
The website features profiles of the 30 Olympians that the country has so far produced.
President of Olympians Cook Islands, Erin Quirke says it is hoped that this online platform will encourage and enable Olympians to stay in touch with each other.
It has been designed to showcase the sporting achievements of athletes as well as their current activities outside of the sporting arena.
Quirke says the website is both an educational tool and hopefully interesting and inspirational for our country's youth.
"A key message from our Olympians is that with a positive nature, hard work and perseverance many things are possible in sport and in life."
The website will be updated regularly with news and social media content.
Quirke would like to thank Liam Ratana of Native Media Limited and World Olympians Association for their support in this project.
Cook Island Olympians will feature on 88FM this week running a daily radio quiz and giving away spot prizes so be sure to listen to the morning shows.
Olympic Day is much more than just a sports event, it is a day for the world to get active and learn the Olympic values.
Here in Rarotonga, the annual Olympic Day Run is at Punanga Nui Market on Thursday at 5pm.
The 1km loop track allows participants to walk or run it just once or many times.
"It is always a feel good social outing for the whole community so get moving and get on down to the Olympic Day Run this Thursday," Quirke adds.

Austin City Limits' greatest gems extend beyond the hype behind its headliners. JAY-Z, Chance the Rapper, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Killers and others undeniably pack the heat for ACL-goers; however, songwriter, one-man-band and multimedia artist, Mobley, represents the talent and ingenuity of local music.
After his 11:30 a.m. show on Saturday, Oct. 7, the Austin-based artist embodied the one-man-band role by writing, performing and producing his music. Mobley also designs the artwork as well as directing his music videos and producing his live multimedia shows.
The 2015 single "Swoon" sits as Mobley's most popular track to date with over 1.3 million listens on Spotify. Mobley cites the track as his greatest musical accomplishment so far.
The Austin Chronicle recently featured Mobley on the front over of its Oct. 6 issue, which came as a surprise to the post-genre pop artist when he woke up to a flood of text messages about the cover.
While grateful for the feature, Mobley can't help but remain averse to seeing his face in the spotlight.
Mobley's drive for creating music stems back to the end of high school after hearing Jimmy Eat World's 2001 song "The Middle." At the time, he asked his parents to get him a set of drums for Christmas, but after hearing the guitar solo in "The Middle," he altered his Christmas wish to a guitar.
"At the last minute I asked them for a guitar and I started writing songs that year," Mobley said.
In the Live Music Capital of the World, Mobley expressed that a tough industry and the all-too-common exploitation makes it increasingly difficult for new artists to succeed without losing their novelty.
When asked on what part of his musical journey he would change, Mobley initially hesitated to respond.
Mobley's struggles have proved the opposite of derailing as he prepares for the imminent release of two new records, including a debut full-length album, "Fresh Lies," in 2018.
Throughout the highs and lows, Mobley fearlessly bares who he is to his fans through his music. When asked on what his fans should know about him, Mobley simply referred back to what's spoken from his artistic content.

There is a double use of the setup in path. So remove one or the other.
like this:

# either
sys.path.append('/Users/Documents/python/test/setup')
from mapsetup import read_files    # <-- removed

# or this
sys.path.append('/Users/Documents/python/test')   # <-- removed
from setup.mapsetup import read_files

Note,  it you are using an editor like vscode, the intellisense will usually pick all this up as you are typing, so you will know that you are in the right place. very helpful.

Q: Graphics problem on new lubuntu install I've just install Lubuntu 13.04 32-bit on an old machine.  When I boot, I essentially get no GUI.  I have a cursor, and very poor 8-bit colour background, but no windows or buttons etc.  I believe this is just a login screen, but I just can't tell.
Switching to tty1 (I think that's what it's called) via Ctrl + Alt + F1, I can login, and run programs as I would expect.  Everything seems to be working except the GUI.  It doesn't appear to be running lxde, only lightdm, but I think that's to be expected due to the fact I haven't logged in yet.
Unfortunately, I'm struggling get wifi to connect from the command line, so I can't run updates yet, although it was connected during install, so I think some were done then.
Any help in diagnosing and solving the problem would be appreciated.  Which logs should I check?  What other information would be useful?

We've got a new household! Dane moved into one of the new apartment buildings in town and is now neighbors with Jordan Grayling.
He does the crossword and looks for a job, but isn't able to find a job in Journalism yet. Hopefully soon since he really needs money.
Dane invites Cheyenne over to show off his super bare apartment to his mom.
On Tuesday, Dane finds a job and gets a roommate, so it's a nice productive day!
I was kinda hoping that Dane and Kelly would have chemistry, but no luck. Oh well. They get along well so at least they'll be good friends.
Dane uses the money from his promotion to buy a toilet, shower, and mirror. Small steps towards furnishing his apartment…but at least now he has all the important stuff.
A date! That'll perk Dane up.
Dane asks Mistelle on a date to get to know her better.
The date went really well.
So well that Dane proposes!
On Sunday night, Dane asks Kelly to move out since he's now engaged to Mistelle and his younger sister Allison has moved in with him, so they don't really need another person helping out with the rent anymore.
The week ends with Dane and Mistelle moving to a new apartment complex with bigger apartments, because Allison moved in too! And now that Dane and Mistelle are engaged, that means marriage and babies could happen anytime (depending on wants and risky woohoo), so a three bedroom apartment will be nice anyway.
Apartment floorplan is the Broke makeover by allisas because I love it so much.

Q: Custom gradle script plugin written in kotlin dsl causing error I am trying to setup a multi-project setup with gradle and trying to generate eclipse projects with eclipse IDE plugin.
Below is my structure.
rootDir/
|---buildSrc/
    |---src/
        |---main/
            |---gradle/
                |---eclipse.gradle.kts
    |---build.gradle.kts
|---app/
    |---build.gradle.kts
|---models/
    |---build.gradle.kts
|---services/
    |---build.gradle.kts
|---build.gradle.kts
|---settings.gradle.kts

Below are the contents of specific files, e.g. settings.gradle.kts and build.gradle.kts
settings.gradle.kts
rootProject.name = "platform"
include("app", "models", "services")

rootDir/build.gradle.kts
...

val buildSrc by extra("$rootDir/buildSrc")

configure(subprojects) {
    apply(from = "$buildSrc/src/main/gradle/eclipse.gradle.kts")
}

rootDir/buildSrc/src/main/gradle/eclipse.gradle.kts

plugins {
    eclipse
}

eclipse {
    project {
        println("Running inside eclipse closure for $name")
    }
}

When I run ./gradlew I am getting below error:
Expression 'eclipse' cannot be invoked as a function. The function 'invoke()' is not found

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script 'D:\work\sources\repos\platform\buildSrc\src\main\gradle\eclipse.gradle.kts' line: 5

* What went wrong:
Script compilation errors:

  Line 5: eclipse {
          ^ Expression 'eclipse' cannot be invoked as a function. The function 'invoke()' is not found

  Line 5: eclipse {
          ^ Unresolved reference. None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch:
              public val PluginDependenciesSpec.eclipse: PluginDependencySpec defined in org.gradle.kotlin.dsl

  Line 6:     project {
                      ^ Type mismatch: inferred type is () -> Unit but String! was expected

3 errors

However, when I do below changes, it works without errors
rootDir/buildSrc/src/main/gradle/eclipse.gradle replace eclipse.gradle.kts file with eclipse.gradle and make changes as per groovy DSL
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
eclipse {
    project {
        println("Running inside eclipse closure for $name")
    }
}

refer correct file in rootDir/build.gradle.kts
...

val buildSrc by extra("$rootDir/buildSrc")

configure(subprojects) {
    apply(from = "$buildSrc/src/main/gradle/eclipse.gradle")
}

Is having a kotlin file in gradle directory in rootDir/buildSrc/src/main/gradle (the custom script plugin) causing this issue? If so, is there any way to write a custom script plugin - not binary plugin - in kotlin dsl?
I have tried putting kotlin script in rootDir/buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/eclipse.gradle.kts but this does not helps.
Any help would be appreciable.

A Pay Cut For Footballers Is Not The Solution
By Tom Clabon on	 April 8, 2020 Politics Sport
Disclaimer: The views expressed within this article are entirely the author's own and are not attributable to Wessex Scene as a whole.
A matter of days ago, Health Secretary Matt Hancock called upon Premier League players to 'play their part' and take a pay cut during the COVID-19 pandemic. This accordingly saw all Premier league clubs act on the Secretary of State's words and ask their players to take a 30% cut until fixtures resume.
These developments have provoked a strong backlash from the footballing community, with current and ex-players alike, such as Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Danny Rose and Andros Townsend, criticising both the premise and the hostile 'anti-footballer' culture this proposal is creating, more generally. While a glance at this 'selfish' reaction from high-profile personnel of the sport will rightly anger and infuriate many – considering Premier League footballers earn an average of £3 million per year and are currently doing nothing to obtain this vast sum of cash every week – while the League is suspended until April 30 at the earliest.
Yet the aforementioned players are right to be concerned by this proposal. An enforced and universal 30% pay-cut for Premier League players would do more harm than good. Under the current system, all Premier League players must legally reside in the country in order to play for their respective team and must, therefore, pay their taxes to the UK Treasury under the Pay-as-you-earn tax scheme,(PAYE), unlike many other British sportsmen. At the current rate of taxation, Premier League footballers must handover 45% of their salaries, alongside any national insurance-related taxation. When one considers that there are 20 teams in the Premier League – each with around a 25 man squad – we currently have 500 professional sportsmen handing over close to half of their earnings. In real terms, this means roughly £1.4 million tax revenue is coming in annually per player and roughly £7 billion revenue is being created over the year in total. Therefore, any universal pay cut of any percentage even over a short period of time would result in less revenue for the government, less money for the NHS, and more money kept in pockets of billionaire football club owners who would no longer have to pay their players as much as once did. As The Professional Footballers' Association rightly points out, this 30% pay cut equates to more than £500 million in wage reductions over 12 months, and a loss in tax contributions of more than £200 million over this short period alone.
Am I saying that footballers are having a 'really hard time during the pandemic'? No.
Am I saying that footballers are not paid enough? Not at all.
Am I saying the UK Government and the Premier League are going about obtaining more revenue from wealthy footballers the wrong way? Yes!
While I have absolutely nothing against the clubs and managers who have taken the pay cuts so far – including England manager Gareth Southgate – if the Premier League is serious about helping vital public services, then they should be giving far more than the measly £20 million they currently have set up in a charitable fund. Yes, they are not the state. Yes, it's only a token gesture. But if they are serious about providing proper help of any substance during those torrid times, they should at least be contributing more than £1 million over what Manchester City paid for Brazilian flop Jô in 2008. Premier League clubs have the money and means to make a difference to all those affiliated with the club off the field alone, such as their employees, and should be encouraged to do so. Clubs should certainly be fully paying their off-field employees with their own revenue, not that of the tax-payer during the league's postponement. I find it sickening and utterly despicable that teams such as Liverpool and Tottenham are using this public bailout scheme to their own benefit, and not their own money. The billionaire owners of football clubs should extend their money and means to the city and community as a whole, albeit on a smaller level. After all, clubs kitchens will still have an amass of food in their training and stadium catering facilities and thus should be giving these supplies to local homeless charities free of charge, just like Aston Villa did on March 13. After all, it looks likely that the Premier League will not resume on April 30; this food will go to waste otherwise. The individual footballers likewise can and should make use of their earnings and influence to make a real difference and go directly to the people and organisations who need it the most. They should continue to donate to local and national charities – something many players have done and continue to do behind closed doors – and actually stay to home under this pandemic.
As for the Government, these proposals will not give the NHS more money and further will introduce social division and infighting at the worst time. While Matt Hancock's remarks were no doubt well-intentioned, this idea is populist in nature and cheaply intended to increase the government's popularity at this time of desperation, at the expense of an easy target. Instead of singling out footballers as 'the problem', the government should instead seek out and close all tax-loopholes and enforce higher taxation levels, if required, on all high-earners such as the club owners themselves, so that the NHS can actually obtain the extra money it desires. Lastly, if the government is fixated on bringing high-earning sportsmen 'to justice', why not start with six-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton? Whilst proclaimed a 'national hero', he is keeping every penny of his current annual £40 million salary safely tucked away in his Monaco bank account.

Back-to-Back Letters of Credit Facilitate Trade with Sanctioned Nations
Businesses and individuals seeking to evade sanctions that target Iran and other nations may be utilizing back-to-back letters of credit to disguise their roles in transactions, say trade analysts. The letters, which are issued by banks to facilitate international trade, differ from standard letters of credit in that they make use of two bank vouchers, with one letter from a bank serving as collateral for another financial institution in the transaction chain. Deal brokers use the letters to keep the identities of buyers and sellers secret from each other so as to demand larger fees for brokering sales. Because the...
Two Financial Crime Cases with One Commonality: Standby Letters of Credit
A $400 million settlement with an Israeli bank accused of facilitating tax evasion and an ongoing probe into loan fraud and AML violations at a Citigroup affiliate seemingly have little in common, but they share at least one trait: the exploitation of a typically low-risk, trade-finance instrument.
Web Site Identifying Foreign Banks as Iranian Correspondents Likely to Raise Compliance Questions
A Web site that purports to list the foreign correspondent relationships of many of Iran's financial institutions could cause U.S. institutions to rethink their ties to well-known international banks.
Congress Passes Iran Sanctions Requiring Audits on Foreign Correspondent Banks
Lawmakers passed a tough new sanctions measure against Iran Thursday that would require U.S. banks to determine whether the foreign financial institutions they have correspondent relationships with bank certain Iranians.
U.S. Blacklists Iranian Bank, Shipping Front Companies on Heels of U.N. Resolution
The U.S. Treasury Department Wednesday added another Iranian bank to its list of 16 Iran-controlled financial institutions that U.S. companies are prohibited from doing business with.
OFAC Blacklists Iranian Bank, As Political Winds Suggest More on the Way, Say Analysts
The U.S. government Wednesday blacklisted a fifth Iranian bank for allegedly helping the country build nuclear weapons, the latest move in escalating efforts to hem in Iran and convince Europe to follow suit.
FATF Warns of Banking with Iran, Uzbekistan, Northern Cyprus and Others
The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) said Thursday that the global financial community should regard transactions involving Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Northern Cyprus and São Tomé and Príncipe as high risks for money laundering.
U.S. Imposes Fresh Sanctions Against Iran, Blacklisting Three Banks
The sanctions are part of a "comprehensive" drive by the U.S. to increase pressure on Iran, said Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. That effort has been frustrated by the hesitation of the United Nations and international community in following the U.S.
U.S. Sanctions Against Iran Would Open Some Banks to Civil Suits, Say Analysts
The designation would officially block all or part of Iran's 125,000-strong Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's elite military unit, from dealing with U.S. financial institutions.
Dubai Regulator Discusses the Rise of Emirates' AML Efforts: Keeping an Eye on Trade Finance and Real Estate
Marc Hambach, an assistant director of the Dubai Financial Services Authority and head of its AML department, spoke with reporter Brian Orsak about the process of developing regulations for one of the fast growing financial hubs in the world.
Iran Bills Would Prohibit Banks from Processing U-Turn Transactions
Two of the most stringent of several federal bills meant to increase pressure on Iran would forbid banks from processing transactions indirectly tied to Iranian entities. The bills, H.R.1400 and S.970, jointly called the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007, would prohibit u-turn transactions.
Compliance Costs May Cause Some Banks to Drop Trade Finance
Bank consultants say they are concerned that the cost of complying with Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations for trade finance transactions could force some banks out of that line of business.
U.S. Sanctions Against Bank Pressure Allies to Help Isolate Iran
The measure, which names Bank Sepah a financial supporter of illicit weapons proliferation, has the added force of following a U.N. resolution against Iran. That elevates the pressure U.S. allies to follow suit.
U.N. Sanctions Against Iran Could Put U.S. Banks, Correspondents at Odds
The sanctions put pressure on U.S. banks to conduct greater due diligence on correspondent accounts to determine if they are linked to the Middle Eastern nation. That will likely continue a trend of foreign institutions dropping business dealings with the country.

Q: Configure approval for Azure Pipelines deployment stage against Azure App Services I'm defining an Azure Pipeline as code in which there will be several deployment stages (staging and production). I need the production stage to be executed on approval from some users.
Currently there's a way to define approvals for "Environments". However this only includes resources such as VMs and K8s, but the application will be deployed on Azure App Services:

Pipeline scerpt:
  - stage: Deploy_Production
    pool:
      vmImage: ubuntu-latest
    jobs:
      - job: deploy
        steps:
        - script: find ./
        - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
          inputs:
            buildType: 'current'
            downloadType: 'single'
            artifactName: 'drop'
            downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
        - script: 'find $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
        - task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
          inputs:
            ConnectionType: 'AzureRM'
            azureSubscription: 'Free Trial(xxx)'
            appType: 'webAppLinux'
            WebAppName: 'app'
            packageForLinux: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/**/*.jar'
            RuntimeStack: 'JAVA|11-java11'
            StartupCommand: 'java - jar $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/drop/build/libs/app.jar'

How can I configure approvals in this scenarios?
UPDATE:
Following MorrowSolutions' answer I updated my pipeline

*

*If I leave it as shown in the answer, the steps entry is highlighted as invalid syntax:

*If I indent it, it seems to be correct. The deployment stage executes and downloads the artifact, but nothing else seems to be executed (scripts, deploy task...):

A: So, the resources you tie to an environment do not restrict which pipelines can be associated with that environment. Also, they're not required and at the moment Microsoft only supports Kubernetes & VMS, so you won't be able to associate an Azure App Service.
In your case, don't associate any resources with your environment. You'll want to update your YAML to use a deployment job specifically and specify the environment within your parameters. This will tell your pipeline to associate releases with the environment you've configured. It should look something like this in your case:
stages:
- stage: Deploy_Production
  pool:
    vmImage: ubuntu-latest
  jobs:
    - deployment: DeployWeb
      displayName: Deploy Web App
      environment: YourApp-QA
      pool:
        vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
      strategy:
        runOnce:
          deploy:
            steps:
                - script: find ./
                - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
                  inputs:
                    buildType: 'current'
                    downloadType: 'single'
                    artifactName: 'drop'
                    downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
                - script: 'find $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
                - task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
                  inputs:
                    ConnectionType: 'AzureRM'
                    azureSubscription: 'Free Trial(xxx)'
                    appType: 'webAppLinux'
                    WebAppName: 'app'
                    packageForLinux: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/**/*.jar'
                    RuntimeStack: 'JAVA|11-java11'
                    StartupCommand: 'java - jar $(System.ArtifactsDirectory)/drop/build/libs/app.jar'

Here is Microsoft's documentation on the deployment job schema, with more information on how to use the environment parameter:

*

*https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/deployment-jobs?view=azure-devops#schema
I actually just had a conversation with someone about this. You're not alone in thinking that the resources you tie to an environment have to be associated with the resources you're deploying within your YAML pipeline :)


Google Pixel 4 Mini has been spotted online that falls in the iPhone SE category. The Pixel 4 Mini will be stripped down variant of the flagship Pixel series. Currently, Google Pixel smartphones comes in two sizes, but the company is now also working on a third size that will be easily managed by one hand.
The ultra-compact Pixel 4a is expected to come in 5-inche screen size and Google claims that the smartphone will easily fit into pockets and in small hands. According to the media reports, many users will be willing to make that trade-off of an extra screen for a smartphone that can be easily managed by one hand.
The Google Pixel 4 Mini will pack the specs as of the high-end smartphone, but will have a less powerful camera. The smartphone is expected to launch in October, but before that the Pixel 4 will run into numerous leaks and renders revealing the design of the phone and its hardware components.
Earlier this month, Google confirmed to launch Pixel 3a and 3a XL smartphones. The company will reveal more details of these smartphones at the Google I/O developer conference which is scheduled on May 7.
The smartphones were previously named Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 XL Lite. But, after Google released the Android Q beta, it used Sargo and Bonito, respectively, as the new codenames, now referred to as Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL.
The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL will carry the price similar to OnePlus 7. While the Pixel 3a will come with a 5.6-inch display, the Pixel 3a XL is expected to sport 6-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2160. A Snapdragon 675 chipset will power the Pixel 3a and Snapdragon 710 SoC will power the Pixel 3a XL. Both the smartphones are expected to come with same 12.2MP camera as seen in Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL.

We had our first gig with our new guitars for the first time, Jared, our amazing guitar teacher came to see us perform!
We worked for about 3 months, playing farmers markets, parties and at restaurants to earn enough to purchase our guitars. I got a Martin and Blake got a Taylor.
We performed at Even Stevens Restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City, UT. In the middle of our set, out of blue, we asked Jared if he would be willing to play a song with us. He didn't hesitate, without any rehearsal he borrowed my guitar (I borrowed Blake's guitar/Blake picked up his ukulele) and Jared jumped in to play "Sweet Home Alabama." He's a true ROCK STAR! Jared is the owner of Rock University and is the most supportive teacher ever.
Check out our video from the show.

Miami-Dade police officers George Price, 42, and Rafael Duran, 43, were recently indicted on conspiracy and fraud charges for selling the Perezes many of the falsified crime reports, according to an indictment.
Both veteran officers are accused of "secretly" using their authority "to enrich" themselves "in exchange for favorable official action," the indictment says.
Duran is also accused of writing additional police reports for himself and a "personal associate" — claiming they were victims of ID theft — and then signing another officer's name to the documents to avoid getting caught, according to the indictment.
Two other former veteran police officers, Richard Muñoz, 45, and Lazaro Fernandez, 40, who respectively worked in the cities of South Miami and Miami, have already pleaded guilty to participating in the couple's scheme. Vanessa Perez, 46, who launched her credit repair businesses in late 2009, and husband Mario Perez, 51, who joined her two years later, have also pleaded guilty.
Duran's defense attorney, Douglas Hartman, said his client was an actual victim of ID theft and hired Vanessa Perez in 2010 to help clean up his credit mess before eventually firing her. Duran, who joined the Miami-Dade police in 1994 and worked in the sexual victims bureau before being relieved of duty, has pleaded not guilty and plans to go to trial.
Price's attorney, Marshall Dore Louis, declined to comment, saying he was just learning about the charges after his client's arrest this week. Price, also relieved of duty, joined the Miami-Dade police in 1999.
Vanessa Perez — who was previously convicted of absentee ballot fraud along with dozens of others after Miami's infamous 1997 election —started working in the credit repair business six years ago. She incorporated Credit Doctor & Associates and Networth, and later opened FSM Group and Consolidated Financial Services with Mario Perez.
The couple would lure in customers with the promise of removing negative items from their credit reports, such as failing to pay home mortgages, car loans and credit card debt, according to court records.
To pull off the scam, the Perezes obtained falsified police reports saying their customers were victims of ID theft that messed up their credit histories. They obtained the bogus police reports from the four officers "by paying monetary bribes, directly or indirectly," according to a statement filed with the couple's plea agreements.
The Perezes paid bribes of $200 to $250 for each false report, the statement said. "In addition, they indirectly compensated several complicit police officers who furnished the false reports by repairing the credit of the police officers or a member of the officers' family," prosecutor Michael Davis wrote in the statement.
Also involved in the scheme: the couple's assistant, Fatima Ruiz. She is accused of helping obtain false police reports and writing letters about the ID theft "victims" to the credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Transunion and Experian. She is also accused of providing the couple's funds to Page to pay off Price.

You need a fresh take served up with some love and accountability. You need to explore a thought, or a wild and crazy idea that just won't leave you alone.

Our merchants include brands like Walmart, Peloton, Oscar de la Renta, Audi, and Expedia, and span verticals including home and lifestyle, travel, personal fitness, electronics, apparel and beauty, auto, and more.

I am in a most most interesting mood. I feel like the most surreal thing is about to happen. I remember five years ago starting trudging the worst financial hill I have ever faced: a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. You know, the kind where you pay back a portion in monthly amounts equaling about 40% of your take home pay? I'm not kidding. I wasn't sure if I had the fortitude to get through this . It was going to be tough.
Despite advice, I moved to live more cheaply. Did I save any more money? Of course not. I did however breathe and able to make ends meet with the help of support from friends and family. I am not just talking about financial support. I couldn't believe them when they said "it will be over before you know it", "five years is not forever", "you'll be fine"….the platitudes were sweet, but no, I didn't believe any of it. It was the worst financial black cloud ever.
Did I get through it? YES! I am here to tel you, it is possible to get through a very dark period and finally be done with everything. Sure, I still have to wait for the discharge from the court which will come in a few months. But I am making my last payment Tuesday. I am ecstatic. My friends and family were right! I made it. It wasn't forever. Yeah, it sucked. I am not to going to lie. It was hard, especially when I wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for my ex-husband. He happened to announce last summer to the court and all everyone interested that he was spending the summer in Antigua. I am working full-time to give 40% of my take home income to pay for something he never took responsibility for. Am I bitter? Yes, but I should be. I get to these points recently where I just want to put the whole thing behind me, but I get angry sometimes. I get resentful.And him going to Antigua, not owning up to his responsibility (the reason I am in bankruptcy) is hard to hear sometimes. Just saying.
Do I share these feelings of bitterness and resentment with friends and family? Yes. A therapist? Absolutely yes. The end is near and they were all right….its going to be just fine. In fact, it already is.
If you are facing something that you don't think you can possibly muster up the strength for, leave me a comment. Perhaps I can share specific things I did to get through this five-year dark cloud.
Music paring: The soundtrack from the remake of The Saint (1997). You can listen to the likes of Moby, Sneaker Pimps, Luscious Jackson and others.

His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the 2004 Whitney Biennial and a career survey at the Jeu de Paume in 2008.
His first monograph, Sleeping by the Mississippi, was published by Steidl in 2004 to critical acclaim. Since then Soth has published NIAGARA (Steidl, 2006), Fashion Magazine (Magnum, 2007), Dog Days, Bogotá (Steidl, 2007), The Last Days of W (Little Brown Mushroom, 2008), and Broken Manual (Steidl, 2010).
