Three promoters of Ram Dev International, recently booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly cheating a consortium of six banks to the tune of Rs 411 crore, have already fled the country before the State Bank of India (SBI) reached the agency with the complaint, officials said on Saturday.

The New England Patriots have been rapidly locking up their draft picks in the wake of the 2020 NFL Draft. They signed two more to contracts on Friday.

The Patriots announced yet another signing of a draft pick. Actually, they announced four, but three previously were reported. The team has come to terms with offensive guard Michael Onwenu, a sixth-round choice. He becomes the eighth choice to agree to terms, leaving only second-round safety Kyle Dugger and third-round tight end Dalton Keene unsigned. [more]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- The New England Patriots have signed four additional members of their 2020 draft class.

It seems there isn't much we agree on these days, but one thing America is united on is this: The Bears blew it in 2017. Even Bears fans wouldn't argue that point. Chicago, of course, could have had Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson and didn't have to trade up to No. 2 overall to get [more]

Victims’ advocates caution institutions against plans to “restore” fallen leaders.

Update (May 1): Cedarville University president Thomas White has been placed on administration leave by the school’s board of trustees. A week after Anthony Moore was fired by White over “additional information related to [his] past,” the board announced it will commission an independent investigation of Moore and an audit of his hiring.

Another case of a leader with an abusive past moving from one evangelical institution to another has intensified scrutiny on Christian hiring practices and responses to abuse.

In ministry contexts, the desire to keep fallen leaders out of positions where they might again abuse their authority is sometimes met with another perspective—a hope that a redemptive and forgiving God would allow people to be restored to leadership. Both victims’ advocates and community members worry that administrators weighing those considerations at Cedarville University made the wrong call.

In 2017, Cedarville welcomed Anthony Moore six months after he was fired from the lead pastor position of The Village Church’s Fort Worth campus. President Thomas White wrote that he offered to shepherd Moore through a five-year plan of restoration at the conservative Baptist school while he taught theology, helped coach basketball, and served as a special advisor on diversity.

CT spoke with four current and former Cedarville professors who said they knew Moore had made a “mistake” related to same-sex attraction and technology, based on White’s introduction and Moore’s own telling. Some assumed pornography or an online relationship. They had no idea that he had reportedly filmed a subordinate at his previous church in the shower. The revelation, detailed by multiple ...

The Southern Baptist publisher plans to restrict its budget by at least $25 million through reducing staff and salaries.

LifeWay Christian Resources, the publishing entity of the Southern Baptist Convention, has announced it will cut roughly 10 percent of its operating budget through staff reductions, a hiring freeze, and salary cuts.

The move comes after five consecutive weeks of steep revenue decline in the wake of the coronavirus and the expectation that sales may not rebound anytime soon.

The Nashville-based Christian publisher said revenue is down 24 percent compared with the same period last year, largely due to a sharp drop in bulk orders from churches for resources such as Sunday school curricula, Bible study materials, and Vacation Bible School curricula.

It’s not clear yet if SBC churches or other churches that buy LifeWay materials will hold VBS or camp programming this year.

LifeWay’s budget for this fiscal year is $281.3 million. It said it planned to cut between $25 million and $30 million from its budget.

The announcement is just the first indication of the financial blow many US churches and denominational agencies are facing as a result of the COVID-19 shutdowns—a blow that could reshape the religious landscape for decades to come.

“LifeWay stands to lose tens of millions of dollars of revenue that the organization would normally generate over the summer months from camps, events, VBS, and ongoing curriculum sales,” said Ben Mandrell, LifeWay’s CEO, in a news release. “LifeWay is mitigating these losses as much as possible through various expense reduction plans, including staff reductions and cuts in non-employee expenses.”

LifeWay said members of its executive leadership team will give up one month’s salary beginning in May. It did not say how it would achieve a staff reduction, ...

An alternative college admissions test, used by some Christian schools, draws a record 50,000 students.

The Classic Learning Test (CLT), a niche college entrance exam aspiring to bring a sense of virtue to standardized tests, saw a 1,000 percent increase in registrations over its short history when the SAT and ACT canceled testing for the remainder of the school year due to COVID-19.

“Because we are able to administer the test remotely, we’re kind of the only game in town,” said Jeremy Tate, who created the CLT four years ago amid a renaissance in Classical education, including among Christians.

At its first administration in June 2016, 47 students took the CLT. With the bump in registration, 50,000 students will take its suite of tests—the CLT, and the CLT-8 and CLT-10, designed for lower grades—during the 2019-2020 academic year. That’s more than double last year’s total.

Though not a Christian company, CLT references figures including John Henry Newman and C. S. Lewis in its promotional materials and stresses the moral, formational dimension to education. The exam has been popular among classical Christian schools, which educate over 40,000 students in the US, and homeschoolers, who make up about 40 percent of CLT test-takers.

So far, 178 colleges and universities in the US accept the exam, mostly Catholic and Protestant schools. For other institutions, the CLT can serve as a supplemental assessment.

The College Board and ACT Inc., the companies that administer the SAT and ACT, respectively, have canceled or postponed in-person testing until the fall, leading many colleges to make the admissions exams an optional part of their applications. In 2018, around 2 million students took the SAT and 1.9 million took the ACT.

While some registrants may turn to the CLT this year for the convenience ...

"Web design is a constant battle against overflow."

- Rachel Andrew

Not knowing how tall something is is fundamental to web design. For instance, you cannot know in advance how long the texts will be that will be shown in your site. What happens if if the final text is much longer than the fake text you used during production? Or what if there's a wide image you hadn't counted on?

In both cases the content of your blocks will become larger than you expected, and if you've given them a fixed width or height that might lead to overflow: content escaping from the block — or at least, attempting to escape.

The easiest way to avoid overflow is not giving your blocks a fixed height in the first place. If you allow them to grow as tall and wide as they need to be you avoid quite a few problems.

This short chapter discusses how to deal with overflow.

CSS Is Awesome

The most famous example of overflow is the "CSS is Awesome" meme that's been around ever since 2009.

Born out of one web developer's frustration with CSS's overflow behavior, this meme took on a life of its own and became an example of what was wrong with CSS. Why would the 'Awesome' flow out of the box? Why should CSS be so complicated? Couldn't the box simply grow to contain the 'Awesome'?

Sure it could! And it would, except that you specifically instructed the box not to by giving it a fixed width. You could have used min-width or flexbox — both are good in dealing with unexpectedly large content — but you didn't. No doubt you had good reasons, but since it was your decision, the onus of solving any resulting issues is on you.

In these cases, the overflow declaration is your friend.

The overflow declaration

The overflow declaration allows you to define what to do with content that overflows its box. It has four values, visible, hidden, scroll, and auto. The default value is visible, and that's the one that causes the 'CSS is Awesome' effect.

overflow: visible means that you allow the content to spill out of its block. Although that keeps the content readable, it also means the content might overlap with the block below or to the right of the affected block, which can be very ugly.

When calculating the position of other blocks, the browsers' layout algorithm uses the width and height of the box you defined, and disregards the fact that content may be spilling out of the block. In fact, at that point in the algorithm the browsers have no way of knowing that the content overflows. [FACT-CHECK THIS]

Thus, when calculating the position of the next block the browsers place the block exactly where it should be given the height of the previous block and the margins of both. They do not pay the overflow any mind, wbich may cause the overflowing content to overlap the content of the next block.

Sometimes this is what you want — or rather, what you’re forced to live with. More often, though, you want to either generate scrollbars or hide the overflowing content entirely.

overflow: hidden hides the overflowing content. This creates a pleasing visual effect, but now there's no way for the user to get to the content. Therefore, hidden is something of a nuclear option: necessary in a few cases, but to be avoided whenever there's a better way of handling the situation.

overflow: scroll and overflow: auto generate scrollbars. The auto value generates scrollbars when they're necessary, while scroll scroll value always does so, even when no scrollbars are needed.

If scroll always generates those ungainly scrollbars, even when they're not needed, and auto only generates them when necessary, why would you ever use scroll? The reason is that a content change that generates or removes a scrollbar can be quite ugly.

Suppose you have a block with overflow: auto that initially does not need scrollbars. Then a script adds a lot of content to the block, causing overflow, and thus the generation of a scrollbar. Not only is this quite ugly in itself, but on some systems [BE MORE SPECIFIC] the scrollbar itself takes up about 16px of width and thus narrows the content area, which may lead to the reflowing of the text and even more overflow. And when the content is removed, all of that happens in reverse.

All this can give a quite jarring effect. For instance, see the position of the word "serves" in the two screenshots below. The creation of a scrollbar forces it to the next line, and that might be something you want to avoid.

The easiest way of preventing that effect is by giving the block overflow: scroll from the outset. Sure, the scrollbars may not be needed, but if they are there's no moving around of the content.

Block Formatting Context

[This is a practical tip that readers need to know about.]

An overflow value of anything but visible will create a new block formatting context. In old-fashioned float-based layouts it is sometimes necessary to create a block formatting context in order to contain a bunch of floats. (Just nod wisely for the moment; we'll get back to this.)

The easiest way of doing this is to add overflow: auto to the block, even though the block has no set height and the content will never actually overflow.

So if you're working in an old codebase and encounter a bunch of unexplained overflow: auto (or hidden) declarations on blocks that have height: auto, remember that they're meant to keep a float-based layout working properly. Only remove those overflows once you switched from floats to a modern layout system like grid or flex. If you do not intend to switch, leave the overflows in place as well.

Related declarations

In addition to the overflow declaration, there are also overflow-x and overflow-y declarations. They do what you'd expect them to do: they set the overflow on only the horizontal x-axis, or only the vertical y-axis. Otherwise they work exactly like overflow.

Also, iOS supports overflow-scrolling: touch, which enables momentum-based scrolling for overflowing elements. Without this declaration (or, more precisely, with the default overflow-scrolling: auto in place), overflowing elements scroll normally, i.e. they stop scrolling as soon as your finger leaves the screen. Android devices always use momentum-based scrolling, so they do not need this declaration. It doesn't hurt them, either, so it's perfectly safe to use. [TEST]

*** END EXCERPT ***

The ending is a bit abrupt, but I'm not entirely sure what to say next. Also, I'm not yet sure which chapter will come next, so I can't write a segue.

Anyway, please let me know what you think. I'm especially looking for feedback from JavaScript developers who are not all that good at CSS.
