Minimum Size Subarray Sum
Given an array of n positive integers and a positive integer s, find the minimal length of a subarray of which the sum ≥ s. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.

For example, given the array [2,3,1,2,4,3] and s = 7,
the subarray [4,3] has the minimal length under the problem constraint.

Brady: It Is Vital That We Stop the Scourge of Modern-Day Slavery in China
U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady by N/A is licensed under N/A
"This issue is not only bipartisan. It's bicameral. Both the House and the Senate have strong bills that send a clear and unequivocal message: the United States has zero tolerance for these abuses."
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. –Top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) today submitted the following statement for the record as the House began consideration of H.R. 1155, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act:
"Ending forced labor—and holding China accountable for these gross abuses of human rights—must be a global effort. America should lead the world in halting China's brutality, and all democracies around the world should join us.
"As I've said many times, this is a completely bipartisan issue, as demonstrated by the overwhelming bipartisan vote in the House on a similar bill in September 2020. The United States has no tolerance for China's human rights abuses, in Xinjiang or anywhere.
"There are real challenges to further tighten the dragnet around China and force it to eliminate atrocities, while supporting legitimate trade. All of us agree: we want to create opportunities for our producers to comply with the law while removing forced labor from our global supply chains.
"And just as important, we must urge our trading partners to work with us. "Inexplicably, this entirely bipartisan issue has been pushed to the back burner, with Democrats delaying consideration for 14 months. And Ways & Means did not mark this bill up or update the trade provisions in any way. This is difficult to understand, because a core provision of this bill, which is the rebuttable presumption that importation of goods made in Xinjiang must be blocked because they are made with forced labor, is clearly in our Committee's jurisdiction.
"This issue is not only bipartisan. It's bicameral. Both the House and the Senate have strong bills that send a clear and unequivocal message: the United States has zero tolerance for these abuses.
"While I'm disappointed that this was delayed, taking strong action today is an important step.
"Republicans support strong and effective legislation that addresses China's atrocities while supporting legitimate trade, and I look forward to working with the Senate to perfect our approach and enact this bill into law promptly.
"It is vital that we stop the scourge of modern-day slavery in China."

Q: Tableau - need to compare the number of records that came in last 7 days to the number of records that came in the last 7 days -1 In Tableau I have a db containing records with a create date [create date]
I need to compare the number of records that came in last 7 days to the number of records that came in the last 7 days -1 .
And show the change as a percentage.
Thanks

A: Assuming today is August 31th, last 7 days should be Aug 24-30, excluding today.
sum(if DATEDIFF('day',[Order Date],DATE(TODAY()-1)) <= 6  then 1 end )

If "7 days -1" means last 7 days starting from one day prior to yesterday, this second range is Aug 23-29.
sum(if DATEDIFF('day',[Order Date],DATE(TODAY()-2)) <= 6  then 1 end )

According to your different needs, you can just use this formula [(A/B)-1] in order to get the change in %:
(
sum(if DATEDIFF('day',[Order Date],DATE(TODAY()-1)) <= 6  then 1 end )
/
sum(if DATEDIFF('day',[Order Date],DATE(TODAY()-2)) <= 6  then 1 end )
)
-1

Das Langenbrügger Moor ist ein Naturschutzgebiet in der niedersächsischen Gemeinde Lüder und dem Flecken Bad Bodenteich in der Samtgemeinde Aue im Landkreis Uelzen.

Das Naturschutzgebiet mit dem Kennzeichen NSG LÜ 354 ist circa 72 Hektar groß. Es ist deckungsgleich mit dem FFH-Gebiet "Kammmolch-Biotop nordöstlich Langenbrügge". Das Gebiet steht seit dem 16. April 2019 unter Naturschutz. Zuständige untere Naturschutzbehörde ist der Landkreis Uelzen.

Das Naturschutzgebiet liegt südöstlich von Bad Bodenteich. Es besteht aus einem teilentwässerten Niedermoorgebiet, das durch die Verlandung eines Sees entstanden ist. Die vermoorten Bereiche werden von Übergangs- und Schwingrasenmooren mit Seggen- und Wollgrasrieden geprägt.

Durch Torfabbau entstanden an mehreren Stellen naturnahe Stillgewässer. In Teilen des Niederungsbereiches stocken Moor- und Sumpfwälder. Daneben sind extensiv genutzte Grünlandflächen, aber auch Äcker zu finden. Teile des Gebietes liegen brach und werden von Sümpfen, Rieden und Röhrichten eingenommen. Nach Nordosten schließen sich Geesthänge an. Hier stocken überwiegend Kiefernwälder. Durch Bodenabbau sind auch in den Randbereichen des Naturschutzgebietes nährstoffarme Stillgewässer entstanden. Hier siedeln unter anderem Knöterichlaichkraut, Gewöhnlicher Wassernabel und Zwiebelbinse. Weiterhin kommen im Naturschutzgebiet Rundblättriger Sonnentau, Kammfarn, Fadenbinse, Sumpfbärlapp und Zwergigelkolben vor.

Das Gebiet ist ein bedeutender Amphibienlebensraum, unter anderem für Kammmolch, Moorfrosch, Knoblauchkröte, Kreuzkröte, Erdkröte, Laubfrosch und Wasserfrösche. Außerdem leben hier zahlreiche Libellen- und Vogelarten – beispielsweise auch der Kranich. Das Naturschutzgebiet soll sich ferner als Wanderkorridor für den Fischotter entwickeln.

Student Kendra Gordon tells Fox News she was in a classroom next to on where the gunman was shooting. "I was sitting in class when we had first heard the shot. And we didn't think it was a gunshot, we thought it was a firecracker. And then we heard another one," she said. "And so, one of the students in my class, she went out and checked it. She got shot twice, one in the arm, and in the stomach. And she came back and told us to lock the door, shut the lights off. And we sat there for 20 minutes waiting for police to show up. It felt like forever." Gordon said she's not sure how the student who was shot is doing now, Reuters reports.
Student Kortney Moore says a bullet came through the window of her writing class in Snyder Hall; she saw her teacher shot in the head. The shooter came inside the room and told people to get on the ground, she tells the local News-Review. She says he then asked people to stand up and say their religion before he started firing.
Multiple witnesses tell the local Register-Guard that only one classroom, a writing and speech class in Snyder Hall, was targeted.

The third book in the compelling Birth of the Plantagenets series follows the battle for dominance between the Church and the Crown.
England's Archbishop of Canterbury is dying and with him the power of the Church. Seizing his chance, King Henry II is determined to enforce the rule of law that he has painstakingly established and bring the violent, corrupt and criminal clergy before his courts.
The ever-scheming Thomas Becket uses his mastery of deceit, sycophancy and wit to undermine the King and the Plantagenet dynasty. Should Becket be elected as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, against the wishes of Queen Eleanor and Empress Matilda, he will be one step closer to becoming England's strongman.
A story of passion, jealousy, rebellion and downfall, The Lions' Torment follows Henry, Eleanor and Becket in an era of power and vengeance that leads to one of the most scandalous and tragic murders in history.

The machines will adjust differently to everyone who uses it - to work harder, you simply move faster.
Complete the circuit twice and you have done a complete, full-body workout.
It's the ultimate time-saver, and you never need to wait for a machine - just hop on anywhere in the circuit.


The logical reason the actress isn't planning anything right now.
camera (Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images) Matt Bellamy and Kate Hudson attend the Novak Djokovic Foundation inaugural London gala dinner at The Roundhouse on July 8, 2013 in London, England.
Kate Hudson is in no rush to get married to her fiance and Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy.
The "Almost Famous" actress, who was married once before to rocker Chris Robinson, has watched as her mom Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have done just fine over the past 30 years without tying the knot.
"I'm planning nothing right now," she said Tuesday on "Live With Michael & Kelly." "I'm so busy, we've been so busy, and it's been great. I come from an unconventional family -- they're not married, my parents aren't married."
She continued, "There's a part of me that goes, 'If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. I'm going to take the time to really plan it right.' And it's a lot. Planning a wedding is a lot."
The "Wish I Was Here" actress, 34, affirmed yet again she would not be tying the knot "anytime soon."
Hudson and Bellamy got engaged in April 2011 and they already have a son Bingham, 2, who was born a few months later in July. She also has a son Ryder, who she had with Robinson.
"Ryder just turned 10, which is so crazy, and he's such a dude," she added.

It is hard to stay positive. Just thinking about everything that has to get done everyday is exhausting, not to mention that it stresses me out, and makes my blood pressure rise. How can moms stay positive through the busyness of life?
Focus on serving the needs of others.
I admit that there are times throughout the day, when it is inconvenient to hear, Mama…Mama…Mama…Mama…every time one of my children walks into the room. Oftentimes, frustration sets in when my kids don't respect my work, or my attempt to finish a 30-second phone call with someone. Yet, the alternative to not hearing my kids call my name would be heart wrenching and devastating. I realize that when my children call my name, it is because they NEED me. To be needed is one of the most amazing feelings and serving others renews my soul. When my soul is renewed, my mind is renewed and I can stay positive, even through the interruptions.
Accept that plans will get derailed.
Do you remember the days (maybe you're still living them), when your child, or grand baby would have the biggest bowel movement in the most inconvenient place? I still remember like it was yesterday when it happened to me. Our 2-year old decided to have the nastiest diarrhea diaper ever as we were leaving the grocery store! Ugh, I wanted to vomit right there! And when I got to the car to change him, I did not have a diaper bag. There was no one to blame except myself, because I forgot to put the diaper bag back in my car.
So after I cursed a few times, and took a few deep breaths, I found a stash of wipes in the pocket behind the driver's seat. Miraculously, nothing escaped the diaper. Now what do I do? Instead of soiling his nice church clothes, our son sat bare-bottomed on a bag in his car seat all the way home. My family thought it was hysterical, and I broke down in tears. My bare-bottomed baby broke my spirit and exposed my mental exhaustion.
Maybe you feel this way right now. Even the best plan can (and probably will) get derailed, so instead of being disappointed with the outcome, embrace the opportunity to laugh at the situation and have a positive attitude.
Find peace in being a Mom!
Instead of feeling overwhelmed, disappointed, or sad, celebrate your child's milestones, achievements and every day conversations. Fill your heart with fond memories, awesome adventures and give grace to your child. Count your blessings and shed a few tears when you hug your child, regardless if they are little or big, because they belong to you. Embrace the busyness of being a mom as an opportunity to guide, encourage, praise and nurture your child.
Hopefully you can stay positive through the busyness of life by serving the needs of others, accepting plans will get derailed and finding peace in being a Mom.

Of what you are giving up before you sign on the dotted line.
Imagine you are standing at the corner of a high speed, two-way intersection. Would you check traffic in only one direction before deciding to walk across? Of course not.
But financially speaking, that's how millions of people approach their financial decisions every day. How so? Because they focus on what they will get with their purchases without considering what they might be giving up.
Sure, you might get lucky the first few times you "cross the street," but eventually you're going to get blind-sided by the negative financial consequences you failed to see coming.
If you are considering a purchase that is large enough to require taking out a loan, please consider the following "hidden" costs of going ahead with the purchase.
How many hours I will need to allocate to work to pay off this purchase?
How much passive investment income could I earn if I invest the money instead of using it to make this purchase?
Can I afford to set aside the funds needed to license, maintain, repair, fuel, insure, store and replace this purchase so I won't get blindsided by these costs in the future?
Life is a lot more predictable than we care to admit. If you fail to accurately answer the above questions before going ahead with the purchase, you will likely be creating "unexpected" financial emergencies for yourself in the future.

Google Chrome users are probably familiar with the T-Rex dinosaur that shows up when your computer is not connected to the Internet. The T-rex had short arms and therefore lot of things were out of its reach. Chrome, like that dinosaur, too is having trouble reaching the Internet.
What's even more interesting is that the offline dinosaur in Chrome is also a game. Press the space bar to activate and your Chrome tab will quickly turn into a moderately addictive game. The T-Rex will run and your mission is to prevent it from bumping into the saguaros.
And it's not just about Chrome for desktop, the dinosaur game is available in Chrome for Android as well. Switch to airplane mode and give it a shot. The only difference is that instead of the space bar, you need to tap on the screen to jump / fly the dinosaur.

Q: CRC16 calculation - translation from C to JAVA I am currently writing a JAVA program which has to send data to a MyLaps decoder via socket (P3 protocol).
The binary data has to include a 2-byte CRC code.
In the MyLaps documentation there is the code in C to calculate the CRC. It also says that WORD is defined as an unsigned 16bits type.
C-Code
    WORD CRC16Table[256] ;

    // initialize the CRC16 table
    extern void InitCRC16( void ) {
      WORD i, j ;
      WORD crc ;
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 256 ; i += 1 ) {
        for ( crc = i << 8, j = 0 ; j < 8 ; j += 1 )
          crc = ( crc << 1 ) ^ ( ( crc & 0x8000 ) ? 0x1021 : 0 ) ;
        CRC16Table[ i ] = crc ;
      }
    }

    // calculate the crc of a char array pointed at by p
    extern WORD CalcCRC16( unsigned char * p, WORD size ) {
      WORD crc = 0xFFFF ;
      WORD i ;
      for ( i = 0 ; i < size ; i++, p++ ) // for all chars
        crc = CRC16Table[ ( ( crc >> 8 ) & 255 ) ] ^ ( crc << 8 ) ^ *p ;
      return crc ;
    }

I wanted to convert this C-Code to java code. As java does not know an unsigned 2-byte number I used data type char which is also a 2-byte
JAVA Code
    // initialize the CRC16 table
    public static char[] InitCRC16() {
      char i, j;
      char crc;
      char[] CRC16Table = new char[256];

      for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
        crc = (char) (i << 8);
        for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
          crc = (char) ((crc << 1) ^ (((crc & 0x8000) != 0) ? 0x1021 : 0));
        }
        CRC16Table[i] = crc;
      }
      return CRC16Table;
    }

    // calculate the crc of a char array
    public static char CalcCRC16(byte[] p, char[] CRC16Table) {
      char CRC;
      CRC = 0xFFFF;
      for (int ptr = 0; ptr < p.length; ptr++) {
        CRC = (char) (CRC16Table[(( (char) CRC >> 8) & 0xFF)] ^ ((char) CRC << 8) ^ p[ptr]);
      }
      return (char) CRC;
    }

Sending the data to the MyLaps decoder I always get a CRC error, so there must be an error in my conversion of the code from C to JAVA.
Can anyone help?

A: You have a lot of unneeded casting going on in the Java version, which is ironic because the issue appears to be at one of the places where you don't properly accommodate the type conversions involved.
Given the data types involved, this C code ...

        crc = CRC16Table[ ( ( crc >> 8 ) & 255 ) ] ^ ( crc << 8 ) ^ *p ;

... is not equivalent to this Java code ...

        CRC = (char) (CRC16Table[(( (char) CRC >> 8) & 0xFF)] ^ ((char) CRC << 8) ^ p[ptr]);

.  You don't need most of those (char) casts, but the *p in the C version, a C unsigned char, is not equivalent to the p[ptr] in the Java version, a Java byte (which is signed).  In both C and Java, there is an automatic promotion to int for arithmetic operands.  In C, that will always extend *p with leading zero bits, but in Java, that will extend p[ptr] with leading 1 bits when its value is negative.  Some of those bits are in the part of the number that will influence the result even with the logical & operations (which moot the truncation of the result to fit in a char).
You appear to want this:
        CRC = (char) (CRC16Table[(CRC >> 8) & 0xFF] ^ (CRC << 8) ^ (p[ptr] & 0xFF));

The boyfriend of missing British hiker Esther Dingley has called for a thorough investigation into the mysterious figure seen sleeping in her girlfriend's trailer 10 days after the girl disappeared.
Daniel Colgate was alarmed three days after 37-year-old Esther walked alone in the Pyrenees on 22 November. It has not been seen since then.
On December 2, a dog walker said he saw a light on the British-registered Fiat Chausson camper and, upon closer inspection, he saw a figure lying in the back seat.
Sources close to the case insist that the person pictured in the Chausson van late at night was not Mr. Colgate, with whom he had been traveling for six years.
Spanish police refused to be seen at Spain's Benasque resort and said it was 'impossible' to search for the missing Briton due to the ongoing terrible blizzards.
But Esther's family and Mr Colgate spokesman Matt Searle told MailOnline: "Daniel and Esther's family are extremely interested in finding out who is inside the trailer when the lights are on.
"We are investigating the sight of someone inside the van on December 2nd. They are asking the Guardia Civil to also investigate who it is.
A young dog walker named Lucia said he first saw the light in the van when he took his dog Tipo for a walk in Benasque, Spain, on December 2.
However, when he went out for the second time at 10pm, he became more and more anxious when he saw the figure lying behind.
In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Lucia said she was 'fobed' when she called the Spanish police.
The officers refused to see the van and claimed it was a plain clothes forensic officer – working late at night without protective gear and driving an unmarked vehicle.
Earlier today, it turned out that the Guardia Civil had abandoned efforts to find Esther, as heavy snow blocked the mountain roads where it was last seen.
Spanish researchers believe there is a high probability that Esther had an accident in the mountains, while her French colleagues across the border think it is "unlikely".
They fear that his disappearance is 'either the result of a voluntary act or the actions of another person'.
Esther was last seen by hikers on the Salvaguardia summit on 22 November.
He sent Mr. Colegate a selfie of himself on top.
The experienced hiker intended to spend the night in a nearby bunker and descend into France from the mountains in the following days, but never came.
Mr. Colgate was alarmed on November 25, but the Guardia Civil canceled their search on December 4 due to bad weather.
Today, her family has received help from charity Mr. Searle, LBT Global, who worked for missing persons abroad and was formerly known as the Lucie Blackman Trust and was killed in 2000 while working as a bar hostess.
Mr. Searle told MailOnline that the charity would use all its resources to search for Esther, and urged the Guardia Civil to do the same.
Spain's Guardia Civil's Mountain Rescue brigade in Benasque abandoned its hunt for the 37-year-old Briton before snow storms and sub-zero temperatures on Friday.
Conditions continue to strain the picturesque resort town into which it enters and the surrounding national park.
Sergeant Jorge Lopez, head of the Mountain Rescue brigade, said arctic weather conditions were 'useless' for any expedition in the mountains.
He told MailOnline: "There was heavy snow last night, which makes a new search today impossible.
"There's no use searching in a place with more than half a meter of snow.
Great efforts were made to search for Esther, but with no results.
"If the weather improves, we can do our regular tactical training to serve as a search for the Benasque area.
"But it is very unlikely to happen right now."
The paths leading to the mountains are now covered with heavy snow.
Animal tracks – arctic hare, wild-goat, lynx and possibly bear – are the only sign of life.
The Guardia Civil say they are 'considering all options' for Esther's disappearance.
But Sergeant Lopez said it was 'most probable' that she had suffered an accident in the mountains.
He said: 'When someone is lost in the mountains, the first hypothesis is always that they are in the mountains.'
French Gendarme Captain Jean-Marc Bordinaro said it is 'not probable' that Esther suffered an accident and her disappearance is 'either the result of a voluntary act or as the result of someone else's actions'.
He added that Esther and Daniel's lives 'were not as happy as the images posted on social media suggest'.
His comments came after officials interviewed Ms Dingley's partner for a third time about her disappearance.
Four officers from the French Gendarmerie paramilitary force spoke to Colegate at the farmhouse in Gascony that he is house-sitting on Monday afternoon.
Mr Colegate, 38, had stayed at the £1000-a-week holiday let while long-term partner Esther embarked on a solo hike trip in the Pyrenees mountains last month.
Bordinaro maintained that Mr Colegate had been interviewed as a witness, not a suspect, telling MailOnline: 'We interviewed Daniel Colegate at the farmhouse where he is living in the Gers department on Monday.
'We want to investigate all possibilities. We do not rule any line of inquiry.
'But it does not seem probable that Esther suffered an accident, and it is not credible that she was eaten by a bear or that she has fallen into a lake.
'We believe that her disappearance is either the result of a voluntary act, or as a result of someone else's actions.
'We went to see Mr Colegate so that we could go through social media with him – messages, etc.
'It appears that their lives together were not as happy as the images posted on social media suggest.
'However I would like to stress that we interviewed Mr Colegate as a witness not as a suspect.'
The Oxford graduate was interviewed by the French Gendarmes and the Spanish Guardia Civil last week about Esther's disappearance.
CCTV video released earlier this week showed Miss Dingley in a supermarket in the Pyrenees, where a shopper who saw her described her as looking 'sad and thoughtful'.
The fitness enthusiast challenged staff at the Eroski store in Benasque over the price of a packet of chia seeds as she provisioned for her march over the mountains on Thursday 19th November.
A local English teacher could be seen coming to her rescue as Esther fails to understand the manager's explanation over discrepancy in the cost of her shopping – as she could not understand Spanish.
In the supermarket, the Chia seeds had been marked at a di
scount which only applied to shoppers in possession of a store loyalty card, Maria-Carmen – the teacher who helped Ms Dingley in the shop – explained.
Maria-Carmen told MailOnline: 'Esther wanted to buy a packet of Chia seeds which were discounted. But you only get the discount if you have the Eroski loyalty card.
'The girl at the till tried to explain this to her but she not understand because she did not speak Spanish.
'So the girl called me and I came to explain this to her.
'She said that didn't matter and bought the seeds any way.
'We didn't have a long chat because I was on my way to work but she seemed a sad, thoughtful.'
Maria-Carmen explained: 'I saw her a couple of days later doing yoga in the street by her camper van.
'It is not a usual sight to see someone doing yoga in the street in Benasque so I noticed it.
'Later I heard that the English woman, Esther, had gone missing and I contacted the police and told them that I had helped her.
'I just hope she is ok.'

Robert Mueller let Donald Trump Jr. off the hook too easily for potential campaign finance violations that arose from the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower with Russian operatives. Mueller's questionable exercise of prosecutorial discretion is bad news for how campaigns and foreign entities might conduct themselves in the runup to the 2020 elections.
Like many others, I am still poring over Mueller's 448-page partially redacted report. My initial general impression of Volume 1—the part dealing with Russian interference in the 2016 elections and the connections between Trump—is that Mueller and his team did a thorough and fair job in investigating what happened and in describing the facts. But on the potential campaign finance violations, Mueller fell short in numerous ways…..
I'm afraid that this flagging of the issue does more harm than good. Mueller has now given campaigns credible reason to believe they can accept help from foreign governments because they may have a constitutional right to do so. That's even more troubling for what it says about 2020 than what it says about 2016.
I was talking to one midwestern Democrat about this. And this person told me they figured it was pretty likely Pennsylvania and Michigan would return to the Democratic fold in 2020. They were much less certain about Wisconsin. Indeed, they thought President Trump had a good shot at winning it.
Let's set aside whether these prognostications are accurate. Let's focus on the hypothetical.
When I pulled up my map I was surprised and dismayed to see the following.
If you take combined 36 electoral votes of Michigan and Pennsylvania and remove them from the Trump column and reallocate them to the Democratic column you get a 268 to 270, an effective tie and an actual tie at 269 each if Democrats win both district electoral votes in Maine.
This assumes all the other blue or swing states stay in Trump's column. One faithless elector makes it a tie. This is not at all an impossible scenario. The country would be ill-prepared in practice to manage a tie election in any circumstance. In present circumstances, the result could be very dark.
The political Left often criticizes—and the mainstream media frequently report on—the network of center-right nonprofits funded by billionaire entrepreneurs Charles and David Koch. But few politicos know of a left-wing leviathan in Washington, D.C., with a reach rivaling that of the Koch network.
This study by the Capital Research Center documents a shadowy web into which nearly $600 million flowed in 2017, the most recent year for which tax returns are available. Operating under the aegis of "philanthropy," this network is housed in and staffed by a for-profit, privately held consultancy called Arabella Advisors, LLC.* Arabella manages four nonprofit entities—the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund—each of which shares an address and interlocking officers with Arabella.
Corporate executives, lobbyists and representatives from major industry groups like the Chamber of Commerce, the National Retail Federation and the International Council of Shopping Centers have raised the issue in meetings with government officials, according to more than a dozen sources familiar with the matter. Some meetings date back to 2017, when the administration was first mulling adding the question.
Industry officials continue to seek assurances from the Census Bureau and the Commerce Department that the question's impact on the quality of Census data will be minimized, according to the sources, who described the meetings on condition of anonymity.
Since there are only two footnotes in the letter and this is the only substantive footnote, one can assume Barr thinks the legal definition of "coordination" used is significant. He is right.
The question of whether the Trump campaign interacted with the Russians as they interfered in the 2016 election, and whether that interaction is illegal, is often framed in terms of whether there was "collusion" between the campaign and the Russians. However, "collusion" is not a term of art and has no specific legal meaning in this case. In fact, the word "collusion" never appears in Barr's letter.
Rather, Barr quotes Mueller as looking at whether the Trump campaign "conspired or coordinated with the Russian government." The question of whether the Trump campaign "coordinated" with Russia is central to the question of whether the campaign violated campaign finance law, which prohibits foreign nationals from making political contributions and candidates from accepting such contributions. A contribution is defined as "anything of value" and can include giving money to the campaign or spending money to support a candidate's election in coordination with the campaign. The latter is called an "in-kind" contribution.
Therefore, if the Trump campaign "coordinated" with the Russians in their efforts to help get him elected, the Russians made, and the Trump campaign accepted, a prohibited in-kind contribution from a foreign national. If they did so knowingly and willfully, it is a criminal violation.
The FEC's current regulation, 11 CFR § 109.20(a), provides: "Coordinated means made in cooperation, consultation or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, a candidate's authorized committee, or a political party committee." Coordination can result if a "communication is created, produced, or distributed after one or more substantial discussions" between the campaign and the person paying for the communication, regardless of whether there was any "agreement" about the communication.
More than half the money that 14 Democratic candidates for president raised from individual donors during the first quarter of 2019 came from donors giving a total of $200 or less. That compares to less than a third among a smaller Democratic field of primary candidates in early 2015.

Here is the ballot, for the PA 12th congressional district special election, leaving off the name of Republican Fred Keller.
I've just received what I've been told is a copy of the overseas ballot sent by Susquehanna County, PA.
Gary Johnson is omitted, the Constitution Party candidates are listed as being from the Conservative Party, and it has the wrong VP for the Green Party.
The two presidential candidates who entered 2019 with the largest bases of supporters — President Trump and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont — led the 2020 field in fund-raising in the first quarter of the year.
Presidential candidates were under a Monday night deadline to file their fund-raising numbers for the first three months of 2019. The Trump campaign reported bringing in about $30 million in the quarter, while Mr. Sanders's campaign raised about $18 million in the quarter.
Other Democrats reporting large hauls to the Federal Election Commission included Senator Kamala Harris of California, whose campaign raised about $12 million, and former Representative Beto O'Rourke of Texas, whose campaign raised more than $9 million.
The Trump campaign is spending nearly half (44%) of its Facebook ad budget to target users who are over 65 years old, as opposed to Democratic candidates who are only spending 27% of their budget on that demographic, according to data given to Axios exclusively from Bully Pulpit Interactive.
Attorney General William Barr has indicated that a redacted version of the Mueller report is likely to be sent to Congress this week and made public. It could come any day now, though a Good Friday release, coinciding with the beginning of Passover, would be the news dump to end all news dumps.
Whenever the report comes, how will we know what to look for? From Barr's summaryreleased a few weeks ago, we expect the report to focus on both the question of possible "collusion" between Russian agents and Americans as well as whether the president obstructed justice in seeking to prevent a full and fair investigation of possible collusion.
Justin Levitt, in his forthcoming Columbia Law Review article, Citizenship and the Census, as quoted in Adam Liptak's NYT Sidebar preview of the upcoming oral argument in the census citizenship question case before the Supreme Court.
Angry that voters passed a ballot initiative to increase the minimum wage in 2018, Arkansas Republicans are using their legislative majorities to put a constitutional amendment on the 2020 ballot that would make it vastly harder for progressives—but not conservatives—to ever put a measure on the ballot again.
Currently, to put a measure on the ballot, organizers must gather a number of voter signatures equal to a certain percentage of the vote cast in the most recent election for governor (but never greater than 10%). They must also collect half that percentage in at least 15 of Arkansas' 75 counties.
This new amendment, however, would increase that requirement to a majority of 45 counties. Given that Democrats and black voters are heavily concentrated in a few highly populated counties such as Pulaski (home of Little Rock) and in the rural Delta region, this provision would effectively require those backing progressive measures to gather a significant number of signatures from rural, conservative-dominated counties. Conservatives, however, would not have to do the same in urban, heavily Democratic areas.
Step aside, Super Tuesday — and say aloha to ranked-choice voting.
While contests in 11 states on March 3 will elect the most delegates in the 2020 presidential primaries, it's April 4 — and the party-run primaries in Alaska and Hawaii — that might actually transform our politics. Both states plan to use ranked-choice voting to elect their delegates to the Democratic National Convention. With the vote possibly divided among more than 15 candidates, there's real potential of a plurality nominee who doesn't unify Democrats.
In June 2016, five months before the American presidential election, Julian Assange made a bold prediction during a little-noticed interview with a British television show.
"WikiLeaks has a very big year ahead," he said, just seconds after announcing that the website he founded would soon be publishing a cache of emails related to Hillary Clinton.
He was right. But an indictment unsealed on Thursday charging Mr. Assange with conspiring to hack into a Pentagon computer in 2010 makes no mention of the central role that WikiLeaks played in the Russian campaign to undermine Mrs. Clinton's presidential chances and help elect President Trump. It remains unclear whether the arrest of Mr. Assange will be a key to unlocking any of the lingering mysteries surrounding the Russians, the Trump campaign and the plot to hack an election.
The Justice Department spent years examining whether Mr. Assange was working directly with the Russian government, but legal experts point out that what is known about his activities in 2016 — including publishing stolen emails — is not criminal, and therefore it would be difficult to bring charges against him related to the Russian interference campaign.
Sanders told Vermont Public Radio last year that one of his campaign workers figured out what was going on, alerted the Clinton campaign and told them, "I think these guys are Russians." But Sanders said he never knew, and he later backed off his suggestion that his staff did. A spokesman referred questions to 2016 campaign manager Jeff Weaver, who said in an interview that Sanders "misspoke a little bit and conflated a few of the facts. . . . He did not know, I did not know, none of us knew" that Russia was behind the efforts.
On April 23rd, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Department of Commerce v. New York, a case that raises questions of administrative and constitutional law, and that has the potential to affect the accuracy of the 2020 Census, thereby impacting congressional representation and federal funding decisions.
Join ACS for a discussion with experts about whether the addition of a citizenship question to the census violates the Administrative Procedures Act and/or the Constitution's enumerations clause, and whether the trial court had the authority to order the deposition of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to ascertain the motive for the question's inclusion.

Automatic voter registration has led to a spike in average registration rates in every state where it's been implemented, according to a new analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law. In the first study of its kind, the Brennan Center analyzed the effects of automatic voter registration (AVR), a system in which eligible citizens are automatically registered to vote at agencies like the DMV unless they opt out.
In his new book, "Who Wants to Run?" Stanford University political scientist Andrew Hall investigates a familiar question — why Congress is so polarized — but comes to a less familiar answer. He writes, "Most legislative polarization is already baked into the set of people who run for office." To understand more, I asked him some questions via email. Here is a lightly edited transcript of our exchange.
John Sides: I was struck by this statistic early in the book: Even if voters had picked the most moderate candidate in every U.S. House election between 1980 and 2014, 80 percent of the polarization between Democratic and Republican members would have occurred anyway. Why is that important to know?
Andrew Hall: The point of that 80 percent statistic — which is based on an analysis that Adam Bonica first developed — is that there just aren't a lot of moderate choices for House voters. If we want to understand where polarization is coming from, we have to understand why so few moderate people run for office.
Lawyers for Gregory B. Craig, a White House counsel in the Obama administration, expect him to be indicted in the coming days on charges related to his work for the Russia-aligned government of Ukraine.
The case against Mr. Craig, 74, stemmed from an investigation initiated by the office of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III….
he case against Mr. Craig is related to the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which the Justice Department is prioritizing in part because of scrutiny related to Mr. Mueller's investigation.

Despite clear and compelling evidence of a Russian plot to disrupt the 2016 presidential election,partisanship has all but killed any chance that Congress will pass legislation to shore up election security before voters cast their ballots next year.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress largely agree with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's finding that Russia tried to meddle in U.S. democracy — and that foreign interference remains a serious threat.
"Russia's ongoing efforts to interfere with our democracy are dangerous and disturbing," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, after Mueller finalized his investigation last month.
But McConnell has made it clear that he's unlikely to allow the Senate to vote on any election-related legislation for the foreseeable future.
Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who chairs the Senate Rules Committee that has jurisdiction over election security legislation, blames House Democrats for McConnell's hardline stance. Blunt said Democrats overreached in January when they passed H.R. 1, a sweeping measure focused on voting rights, campaign finance, and government ethics….
David Popp, a spokesman for McConnell, said he could provide "no guidance" on whether an election security bill authored by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma might be able to gain traction in the Senate. But Blunt said McConnell will not even bring a GOP-led election bill to the floor for fear Democrats might try to amend it.

HomeReportsHuman Rights Reports...Custom Report - 571e895daa
El Salvador, Poland
The constitution provides for freedom of expression, including for the press, although the government at times did not respect this right. The law permits the executive branch to use the emergency broadcasting service to take control of all broadcast and cable networks temporarily to televise political programming.
Freedom of Press and Media, Including Online Media: Journalists from several digital and print media outlets publicly accused President Bukele, his administration, and his supporters of a pattern of harassment designed to constrain media. In public statements and in testimony to the Legislative Assembly, journalists claimed President Bukele and his cabinet officials bullied them on Twitter, threatened them with physical harm, launched unwarranted financial investigations into their taxes and funding sources, denied them access to press conferences, and surveilled them. President Bukele strongly denied threatening journalists and dismissed accusations he was stifling freedom of the press. President Bukele called public attention to the outlets' funding sources, which he claimed carry a heavy political bias and had been mobilized by the opposition ahead of legislative elections scheduled to be held in February 2021.
Violence and Harassment: On April 15, the Inter American Press Association reported several journalists complaining that progovernment trolls harassed, discredited, and threatened journalists on Twitter.
As of April the Salvadoran Journalist Association (APES) had registered 54 violations of the exercise of journalism. Among these were restrictions to asking questions during press conferences related to the government handling of the pandemic, destruction of journalistic material, harassment against independent journalists and discrediting of media outlets by government officials. As of August 27, the PDDH had received 10 complaints of violence against journalists by government officials.
On September 14, the digital newspaper El Faro filed suit against the government, accusing the Finance Ministry of using aggressive auditing practices to punish the firm for its critical reporting. El Faro representatives claimed auditors were asking for more information than the law allows, including nonfinancial records, for use other than auditing purposes that could lead to a form of censorship.
Censorship or Content Restrictions: Government advertising accounted for a significant portion of media income. According to media reports, the Bukele administration punitively cancelled all government advertising in the newspaper El Diario de Hoy after it reported on the banning of some journalists from the president's press conferences. According to APES, media practiced self-censorship, especially in reporting on gangs and narcotics trafficking.
On October 5, the government began broadcasting a state-owned newscast on Channel 10. On October 19, the government launched the state-owned newspaper Diario El Salvador. Serafin Valencia of APES criticized the state-owned media outlets as "government propaganda disguised as journalism."
Nongovernmental Impact: APES noted journalists who reported on gangs and narcotics trafficking were subject to kidnappings, threats, and intimidation. Observers reported that gangs also charged print media companies to distribute in their communities, costing media outlets as much as 20 percent of their revenues.
The constitution provides for freedom of speech and press, and the government generally respected these rights.
Freedom of Speech: The law prohibits hate speech, including the dissemination of anti-Semitic literature, the public promotion of fascist, communist, or other totalitarian systems, and the intentional offense of religious feelings.
Violence and Harassment: On February 3, the Warsaw regional court sentenced Michal Majewski, a Wprost weekly reporter, to a fine for protection of sources of information. The conviction refers to a 2014 incident, when Internal Security Agency officers tried to seize forcefully a laptop of one of the journalists who revealed a wiretapping scandal involving leading politicians. The Center for Monitoring Freedom of Speech at the Association of Polish Journalists criticized the conviction as a clear violation of freedom of speech. The ruling was subject to appeal.
On November 11, some police officers used violent crowd control measures against several journalists who were covering violent clashes between police and groups of hooligans during the annual Independence March that took place in Warsaw. Police shot one photojournalist in the face with a rubber bullet and used batons and a stun grenade against other journalists. After the incidents the government announced investigations into the police actions. On December 2, police officially apologized for the incidents and announced training for police officers.
Censorship or Content Restrictions: The constitution prohibits censorship of the press or social communication. Nevertheless, laws regulating broadcasting and media prohibit, under penalty of fines, license revocation, or other authorized sanctions, the promotion of activities endangering health or safety, or the promotion of views contrary to law, morality, or the common good. The law also requires that all broadcasts "respect the religious feelings of the audiences and, in particular, respect the Christian system of values."
Critics alleged persistent progovernment bias in state television news broadcasts.
Libel/Slander Laws: Defamation by print and broadcast journalists is a criminal offense and includes publicly insulting or slandering the president, members of parliament, government ministers and other public officials, the Polish nation, foreign heads of state and ambassadors, private entities and persons, as well as insult or destruction of the national emblem, the flag, other state symbols, and monuments. Defamation outside media is punishable by a fine and community service. The courts rarely applied maximum penalties, and persons convicted of defamation generally faced fines or imprisonment of less than one year. The maximum sentence for insulting the president is three years' imprisonment.
On August 5, police charged three persons with desecrating monuments and offending religious sentiment by placing rainbow flags on several monuments around Warsaw, including an historic religious statue standing in front of a Roman Catholic Church associated with Warsaw's occupation. If convicted the three may face a fine for insulting the monuments and up to two years in prison for offending religious sentiment.
The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights and the Association of Polish Journalists reported that journalists convicted of defamation had never received the maximum penalty. According to the Helsinki Foundation, however, the criminal defamation law may have a chilling effect on journalists, especially in local media, since local authorities may use the law against journalists. Media owners, particularly of small local independent newspapers, were aware that potentially large fines could threaten the financial survival of their publications. According to the Helsinki Foundation, there was a considerable increase in the number of convictions under the criminal defamation law over the last several years. The foundation observed that those seeking to protect their reputations were more likely to pursue criminal defamation charges than civil litigation. This may negatively affect the operation of local media outlets, which the foundation stated were often the only source of accountability for local officials. According to Ministry of Justice statistics for 2018, the most recent data available, courts convicted one person of insulting the president and three persons for insulting constitutional organs of the government.
