Henrietta and Robin Ratliff at their Greener Pastures Ranch in Madison County.
The innumerable photos, plaques, ribbons and other awards covering the walls of the office in the main barn of Greener Pastures Ranch in Madison County represent but a fraction of this outfit's winnings — both by its horses and its mother-daughter founders. Indeed, in the world of Paso Finos, or fine-gaited horses, Henrietta and Robin Ratliff and their Sin Par (without equal) stable of horses are nationally and internationally recognized.
Going back nearly 50 years to Fort Lauderdale, where the operation was located before moving to North Florida in 1986, Henrietta pioneered the breeding, training, showing and promotion of Pasos — a breed then practically unknown in this country. For her achievements, she was inducted into the Paso Fino Horse Association's (PFHA) Hall of Fame in 2002, as was El Pastor, the foundation sire, in 2000.
A PFHA founding member who in her day won her share of prizes and helped popularize the breed, Henrietta today is accorded iconic status among Paso Fino aficionados. Robin, meanwhile, is an accomplished horsewoman and trainer in her own right, whose hundreds of awards — including the prestigious USA Equestrian C.J. "June" Conan Jr. Trophy in 2002 — attest to her excellence. She also judges and is active in the PFHA and associated organizations.
Smitten with Pasos upon her first ride on one in 1967, Henrietta flew to Puerto Rico soon after and purchased one. Native to Spain, Pasos were brought to the New World by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493 and over the centuries were largely confined to Latin American countries. When Henrietta was introduced to the breed, Greener Pastures Ranch was a quarter horse operation — but it soon converted to Pasos.
From the start, her zeal in promoting the breed was near-missionary.
This explains the family's countless weekend trips across the country in the early years to sell Pasos wherever and whenever the opportunity presented itself, regardless of the event's distance, obscurity or size.
"Exhilarating," Henrietta characterizes these excursions. "Exhausting," Robin, then about 11, recalls them.
Did these early efforts possibly represent more a cause than a business proposition?
Nonsense, Henrietta asserts; it was always first and foremost a commercial venture.
That passion, which Robin shares, forms the cornerstone of their successful business partnership, notwithstanding their differences in personality and temperament. The two admit to having disagreements, as business partners will. But ultimately, the mother-daughter bond prevails.
Horse ranching, the two agree, is a labor-intensive business, requiring a thorough understanding of horses and 100 percent commitment.
"If you lose your reputation, you're done," Robin says.
In their case, the will to excel is formidable.
And success is a given.
"I wasn't willing to accept anything less," Henrietta says of her accomplishments.
Cocada Sin Par is crowned the National Champion of Western Pleasure at the 2014 Grand National Show in Lexington, Kentucky. Shown also are owners Robin (astride horse) and Henrietta Ratliff.
Nowadays, Robin largely manages the operation and handles the day-to-day chores, from bookkeeping and blacksmithing to ordering feeds and operating and repairing the equipment. All the while, she trains horses and shows, judges and conducts clinics nationally.
The boarding and training mostly generate the ranch's present income, the breeding/selling aspects having taken a back seat since the recession.
"The market took a hit some eight years ago, and we slowed on the breeding and selling," Robin says.
"By gum, the minute the market returns, there'll be babies on the ground again at Greener Pastures," " Henrietta enjoins.
The average Paso will sell between $3,000 and $5,000. Depending on the circumstances and a horse's experience and pedigree, however, that price can vary greatly.
"A horse is worth how much somebody pays for it that day," Robin says.
She attributes the ranch's successful navigation of the hard times to operating within their means and never losing sight of their priorities.
Her mother's foresight also was a factor.
At 84, Henrietta no longer rides; she quit four years ago. Still passionate about Pasos, however, she regularly attends shows and cheers for Robin, whom she considers the best rider and trainer, bar none.
"She can take any horse and win," Henrietta says.
"Now it's my mother talking," Robin says, smiling.
As for Pasos, give Henrietta her due for a mission accomplished.
"It's no longer a breed struggling to be known," she says.

Finally: Southeast Dallas neighbors watch as trucks begin to haul off Shingle Mountain
Marsha Jackson has been waiting years for a mountain of roof shingles to disappear from view of her southeast Oak Cliff home.
Marsha Jackson talks on Thursday as a contractor begins moving shingles away from the land adjacent to her backyard. Shingle Mountain, a pile of roof shingles, has accumulated over about three years after a landowner leased out his property for a businessman to recycle shingles in Dallas on Thursday, December 17, 2020.

Updated at 8 p.m. with more comments about the mountain's removal.
Living in the shadow of a massive pile of roof shingles, Marsha Jackson has dreaded the sound of commercial trucks going in and out of the dump site neighboring her southeast Dallas home.
On Thursday, she met the noise with a bit more optimism.
This time the trucks were there to start hauling away what's become known as Shingle Mountain, a pile estimated at six stories high and 100,000 tons that's visible to drivers half a mile away on Interstate 45.
"It's about time," she thought.
Jackson started raising concerns with the city in January 2018, but it wasn't until The Dallas Morning News reported on the shingles almost a year later that public officials took notice.
After nearly three years of fighting, Jackson watched as Shingle Mountain finally began to disappear from 4.3 acres of land at South Central Expressway and McCommas Bluff Road.
The hauling trucks were headed for the city-owned McCommas Bluff landfill less than a mile east from the site — and Jackson's home.
Lawsuits against Blue Star Recycling, the company that leased the site, have been filed by Jackson, the company's insurance provider and the city. Jackson is also suing the city. The litigation is continuing.
All the while, piles of ground-up debris and sheets upon sheets of shingles loomed over the dead-end agricultural neighborhood where Jackson, who is Black, and her two Latino neighbors live.
About 20 homes dot the community, where Jackson and her immediate neighbors fear environmental damage to a nearby creek and health complications from breathing in shingle dust. Jackson sees a pulmonologist, and her voice fades in and out at times when she talks. She says it's because of the debris.
Now Shingle Mountain could be gone by mid-March, authorities say.
What you need to know about Shingle Mountain's complex history in southern Dallas
By Carrington Tatum
Jackson saw the first trucks at the now-abandoned recycling center while she was out on her daily walk with Prince, her 1-year-old schnauzer.
"All of us are glad that they're finally moving it, but we can't be overjoyed and happy until it's completely gone and the property is completely cleaned," said Jackson, 62, who has lived in her brick ranch-style home on Choate Road for 25 years.
"We've suffered for so long. And we're still suffering."

"We've suffered for so long. And we're still suffering."(Lola Gomez / Staff Photographer)
'It'll be history'
Trucks from Roberts Trucking Inc., whose $450,000 bid to clean the debris pile was accepted in October, started hauling off loads of at least 18 tons each around 8 a.m. Thursday and within seven hours had removed 3,000 tons of the stuff, the company said. The debris, which looked like dirt, was covered.
"We're trying to get it out of there as fast as we can," said Quincy Roberts, CEO of the company, which is located in southeast Oak Cliff. "It's been there way too long, and the faster we can get it out of there, the faster residents can start breathing clean air again."
It wasn't clear what would happen to the debris once it reaches the landfill. An employee there said he didn't know. And Tim Oliver, interim director of Dallas' sanitation services, did not immediately return a message from The News on Thursday.
City Council member Tennell Atkins, who represents the district that encompasses Shingle Mountain, said officials plan to meet about the environmental issue sometime in January. He attributed the delay in getting rid of Shingle Mountain to the pending lawsuits.
"It's going away. When you look around 90 days from now, it'll be history — it'll be gone," Atkins said. "I just hate that the residents had to wait this long, but litigation takes time."
He said he'd been at the site since 7:30 a.m. Thursday along with council member Omar Narvaez, who represents part of West Dallas and heads the council's Environment and Sustainability Committee. Atkins said air monitoring and other environmental tests would be done.
Before leaving the site around 9:45 a.m., Atkins said he hadn't spoken to any of the nearby residents.
Jackson, who has since created her own environmental group, Southern Sector Rising, said she was disappointed that she didn't hear from Atkins or other city officials notifying her that the removal was starting Thursday. She said she felt it was a "slap in the face."
"We have an elected official to represent us in this district and you could not come down here and even tell us this was going on, even a phone call," Jackson said. "They can do a photo op, but they could not come and let the citizens know what is going on."
Roots of a problem
Shingle Mountain dates to 2017, when Cabe Chadick, from CCR Equity Holdings One — the company that owns the land — leased it to Chris Ganter, of Blue Star Recycling, to grind shingles.
Ganter has previously said that his intention was to save the nearby landfill from tons of material that would take a long time to decompose. He told the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that there would be no more than 260 tons of debris at a time on the site.
But trucks were dumping more material than they were hauling away, and they never stopped.
Dallas has had money earmarked to clean up Shingle Mountain. But officials said they wanted CCR to contribute to the estimated $2.1 million removal cost before the city intervened.
Blue Star Recycling filed for bankruptcy in October. Environmental activists have condemned officials for their lack of urgency.
Jim Schermbeck, director of Downwinders at Risk, said his group has concerns about how thorough the site cleanup will be. There is potential for dust plumes and there could be lingering soil and water contamination, he said. "But I'm obviously glad to finally see the cleanup that should've taken place at least two or three years ago."
Bethany Rivera, 16, and Brittany Vasquez, 10, whose family has lived next door to Jackson for 14 years, said the shingles being dumped in their neighborhood had made them feel as though their community had been forgotten.
Their mother's health has deteriorated since the roofing waste has arrived, they said, and she frequently suffers from nosebleeds. Brittany has asthma and said she believes her breathing has been affected.
"We don't have any expectations for anything to happen here after this," Bethany said. "We just want people to know this isn't a construction site and real people live here."
When the debris finally disappears, Jackson said, she hopes the site can be deemed safe enough for the city to buy and develop into a park. There's no nearby grocery store, public transportation or place for children to play.
"Our area is a lost community," Jackson said. "I hope something can be done to fix that."

Q: Memory leak in DateFormatter I often use DateFormatter in the code and did not see any problems, but then I decided to test one class for a lot number of iterations - I noticed a huge memory leak.
The reason for the leak was DateFormatter.
Simple code:
var dateFormatter:DateFormatter
dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
let date : Date = Date()
for _ in 1...100000000 {
    _ = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
}

No leaks. 5.9 MB per process all run time.
But when I use dateFormat:
var dateFormatter:DateFormatter
dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
let date : Date = Date()
dateFormatter!.dateFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS"
for _ in 1...100000000 {
    _ = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
}

Use memory up 4 GB at the end of run time.
If I use:
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyyMMdd"

No Leaks.
If I use:
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyyMMddHH"

Leaks.

A: In your first example, you're creating zero-length strings. Modify your code to print them out; you don't see anything in the log. Try assigning the output of the date formatter to a variable and checking its value by placing a breakpoint in the loop; the value is always an empty string. This would explain why the memory usage remains as low as it does.
In your second example, you are creating strings, per the date format. As before, check the value from the date formatter and you'll see. This explains why you're rapidly exhausting your physical RAM: You're creating 100 million non-empty strings within that loop.
This isn't a best practice, even in the first example. Chances are that, if you really need 100 million strings, you do something with them, like place them in an array instantiated elsewhere, or whatnot. You don't want to let them accumulate inside that humongous loop.
Here's a modified version of your code:
    let date = Date()

    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS"

    for _ in 1...100000000 {
        autoreleasepool(invoking: { () -> () in
            let string = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
            print("\(string)")
        })
    }

Note that I'm making use of an autoreleasepool closure within the loop. This ensures that the string I create in each pass of the loop is deallocated before the next iteration. Within that closure, you can do whatever you want with that string. You can create any number of values within it, and they'll all be deallocated before the next iteration of the loop. On my machine, everything purrs along at a constant 16.2 MB of memory consumed. Your mileage may vary.
Best wishes to you in your endeavors.

Report: Two Chinese Communist Party Officials Studied at Harvard Before Overseeing Uyghur Detention Camps
Two Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials reportedly received an education through Harvard University fellowships before overseeing what U.S. State Department labeled a genocide of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang.
Yao Ning, a local party secretary of the Communist party studied as an Asia fellow at Harvard University's Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation between 2010 and 2011, according to a report by the Canberra-based Australian Strategic Policy Institute [ASPI], as cited by the Financial Times.
For a few months in 2012, chairman of the Xinjiang region Erken Tuniyaz was also a new world fellow at Harvard's Ash Center. Xinjiang's chair ranks as the region's second highest official after the party secretary, Chen Quanguo, according to the report.
In a February speech, Tuniyaz claimed Xinjiang's internment camps are for "counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures," despite accusations of rape, torture, forced sterilizations and abortions, organ harvesting, and genocide.
The report cited an article published in 2012, in which the Ash Center said the research of Tuniyaz and a colleague at Harvard "promises to inform their professional careers and enrich the Center's portfolio of scholarship on innovation and democratic governance."

"Candidates for this programme were only accepted upon the successful completion of the vetting process by the US embassy in Beijing," spokesman for the Ash Center Daniel Harsha said, noting that the school commonly admits participants from China.
Yao, 36, studied at Harvard as part of his PhD in public policy at Tsinghua University in China, the report states.
After completing his studies in 2014, he worked in Xinjiang's Kashgar prefecture, first in the mostly Uyghur Yengisheher county, and then in Maralbeshi county, according to the report.
Then in early 2019, Ning was promoted to Party Secretary of Maralbeshi County, "a small and predominantly Uyghur county where ASPI researchers have identified nine detention facilities built or expanded since 2017."
The report continued:
"Months before Yao's arrival, authorities in Maralbeshi sought to recruit 320 new re-education camp staff members," said the report.
In July this year, Yao was among 103 officials who met Xi Jinping, China's president, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to be honoured as "outstanding county party secretaries". The post of party secretary at county level is the most senior political post, meaning that Yao has responsibility for the local detention camps.
According to the Times, the ASPI report showed satellite images of a large prison complex in Maralbeshi county that is "guarded by six watchtowers and has been operations throughout Yao's term."

"Construction on the camp has continued throughout 2021," the report states.
Both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry have admitted that despite China's growing list of heinous human rights abuses, the United States needs to partner with the CCP to fight "climate change."

I love painting stripes. There is something so satisfying about taking an abstract design and turning it into a work of art!
In this case, my friend brought me her large kitchen table. She wanted this design in the table but when it was the unexapanded shape. So I drew a line where I thiught I would divide the pattern.
I sanded down every square inch of this tale as she wanted it "farmhouse brown".
Almost to the bare wood!
once it was finally sanded, I added two coats of stain. I honestly cannot tell you what col R this is or what combination as I LOVE mixing my colors.
I added masking tape to create the abstract pattern she wanted when table was collapsed. I then expanded the table and created my own design to blend in the table leaves. I took it outside and sprayed gold paint to finish the look. Add several layers of polyurethane and it was done!
Wow you did a great job. (A lot of work). Is this what you're friend calls farmhouse brown?
Great Job, did you spray the sealer on or brush it on?
Just a question to clarify: did you leave the masking tape on the tape and then seal it onto the surface or are the stripes painted?

The Maca plant has been cultivated by the Bolivian people living in the high Andes for thousands of years. The root of the Maca plant is often used to balance hormones and naturally enhance libido function. Maca plants will not grow well in hot climates but can be grown in the winter months of most northern latitudes. Maca root growth extracts nutrients from the soil and can deplete the viability of the land when planted year after year. Indigenous farmers usually allow the land to rest for three to five years between Maca plantings.
Locate a growing area with full sun and well-draining soil. Maca plants prefer cool average temperatures between 30 degrees and 55 degrees Fahrenheit, though they can withstand vast temperature ranges.
Prepare the soil by removing stones and breaking up large clumps of dirt. Pull weeds in or near the growing area.
Mix manure or compost into soil.
Check the pH of your soil. Maca plants do best in alkaline soil with a pH of 5 and heavy mineral content.
Bury the seeds ¼ inch below the surface level of the soil. Seeds will take four days to germinate in soil at a temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Water seeds lightly immediately after planting. Without fully saturating, keep the soil moist until seedlings reach 6 inches in height. Once seedlings mature, fully soak the ground with water one to two times per week.
Add another layer of compost or manure half way into the growing cycle as this will maintain growth and add needed nutrients.
Harvest Maca roots after about seven months in the ground. Partially dig away the soil on one side of the plant to see the size of the root. Edible roots are typically 2 to 5 centimeters in size.
Maca root prefers alkaline soils, such as decomposing granite or volcanic soil.
Maca plants have few pests because of their high altitude environment and naturally repel root crop pests.

Besides, I want Roll from Mega Man 8, holding 4 E-tanks in both of her hands. That appearance is the cutest, in my opinion, that's why I'm asking you for this. I want her as cute as that KJ I've mentioned you.
Just gonna ask for another drawing of Teyla again this year, please.
I'll take one Madeline from Celeste please.
A bipedal Shaymin Sky would be neat. I know what amazing thing you did last year, can't wait what you'd make of this.
I love your art. It's easily the best style I've seen in a while. I'm still rocking this wonderful avatar absolutely everywhere I go.
Could you draw the Star Mage from Disgaea 2 screaming into a megaphone?

IN THE HIGH COURT (COMMERCIAL DIVISION),
KUMASI - A.D 2019
ADOLF ADARKWAH - (Plaintiff)
FIRST ALLIED SAVINGS AND LOANS LTD - (Defendant)
DATE: 12 TH OCTOBER, 2018
SUIT NO: BFS 04/2019
JUDGES: DR. RICHMOND OSEI-HWERE JUSTICE OF THE HIGH COURT
LAWYERS:
This is a Motion on Notice praying this Honorable Court for an order setting aside the default judgment entered against the Applicant herein and for leave to enter late appearance.
The Plaintiff/Respondent herein issued a Writ of Summons against the Defendant/Applicant on the 15th of August, 2018. The Plaintiff's claim against the defendant are for:
a. An order for the recovery of the sum of SIX MILLION AND THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND GHANA CEDIS (GH¢6,300,000.00) being the principal sum invested in fixed deposit with the Defendant and two (2) months interest arrears standing unpaid by the Defendant on the money invested in the fixed deposits as of the time of the institution of this action.
b. Interest at the prevailing bank rate on the total sum of SIX MILLION AND THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND GHANA CEDIS (GH¢6,300,000.00) from July 2018 being the due demand date the Plaintiff lawyers finally demanded for the repayment of the said sum total to the Plaintiff up to the date of final payment.
c. Cost including solicitors legal fee and other expenses as agreed by the Defendant in its "letter of indemnity".
d. And any other reliefs as to this Honorable Court may deem just.
The defendant/applicant was served with the writ of summons and statement of claim on the very day it was issued i.e. 15th August, 2018. Subsequently, this Honorable Court entered default judgment in favor of the Plaintiff/Respondent on the 5th of September,2018 after the Defendant/Applicant had failed to enter an appearance.
Naturally aggrieved by the said default judgment, the Applicant has filed the instant application and the grounds of the application are contained in the Affidavit in Support filed on the 29thof September, 2018.
In moving the motion, Counsel for the Applicant prayed the Court to exercise its discretion and set aside the default judgment. Counsel cited Order 10 rule 8 of the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rule 2004 (CI 47) and argued that per the provision the court is handed a discretionary power to set aside the default judgment. He also referred to article 296 of the 1992 Constitution which deals with the exercise of discretionary power and invited the court to exercise its discretion in favour of the applicant in the interest of fairness. Counsel also intimated that the defendant/applicant failed to enter an appearance as they wanted to settle the matter out of court. He prayed the court to set aside the judgment and grant the applicant leave to enter an appearance as they are desirous of contesting the matter.
In his response to the submissions of learned Counsel for the Applicant, Counsel for the Respondent reiterated the latter's opposition to the motion. Counsel cited the case of Botchway and Anor v Daniel and Others (1991) 2 GLR 262 at Holding 2 and submitted that the applicant has not given any reasonable explanation for the default in entering an appearance. He also argued that the applicant per the affidavit evidence has not demonstrated that he has a reasonable defence to the action. It was counsel for the applicant's submission that in view of the fact that the applicant has not satisfied the conditions for grant of the application the same must be dismissed.
Order 10 rule 8 of CI 47 specifically gives the court the discretionary power to set aside judgment in default of appearance. It states:
"The court may, on such terms as it thinks fit, set aside or vary any judgment entered in pursuance of this Order."
When dealing with an application to set aside judgment in default of appearance which has been regularly obtained, the court considers two main guiding principles:
a. That the applicant has given a satisfactory explanation for his failure in entering appearance; and
b. That he has an arguable defence to the claim.
[See Alphoneso O. Aryeetey and Anor v Royal Investment Co. Ltd. And 18 Others, Civil Appeal No. H1/201/2005 (29th November, 2005) CA. See also Ghana Commercial Bank v Tabury(1977) 1GLR 329]
In the instant application, the applicant's explanation for its failure to enter an appearance is untenable. For, a mere desire to settle a matter is no excuse for failure to comply with the rules of court. In view of this, it is my respectful opinion that the applicant has not given a satisfactory explanation to the default in entering appearance.
Also, beside the bare assertion by counsel that the applicant is desirous of contesting the matter, he (applicant) failed to demonstrate that he has an arguable defence to the claim.
In spite of the applicant's failure to meet the aforesaid conditions set out by case law, I am prepared to give the application a sympathetic consideration. This is because the aforestated guidelines for determining an application to set aside judgment in default of appearance are, in my humble opinion, not exhaustive and that the overriding principle set out by statute hold sway over case law. From Order 10 rule 8 of CI 47, the court is seised with a discretionary power to set aside the default judgment and as dictated by Article 296 of the 1992 Constitution and rightly pointed out by counsel for the applicant, exercise of such powers must be guided by the ethos of fairness and justice. Article 296 provides:
"Where in this Constitution or in any other law discretionary power is vested in any person or authority -
(a) that discretionary power shall be deemed to imply a duty to be fair and candid;
(b) the exercise of the discretionary power shall not be arbitrary, capricious or biased wither by resentment, prejudice or personaldislike and shall be in accordance with due process of law; and
(c) where the person or authority is not a judge or other judicial officer, there shall be published by constitutional instrument or statutory instrument, regulations that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution or that other law to govern the exercise of the discretionary power."
I have taken cognizance of the fact that the subject matter of the default judgment is a huge sum of money (GHC 6,300,000.00) and that the applicant has acted within a reasonable time in a bid to set it aside so it can defend the action. I am therefore exercising my discretion in favour of the applicant to enable substantial justice to be done.
In relying on the ethos of substantial justice, I am emboldened by the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Major Mac Dorbi and W. O. Saviour v Richard Adom Frimpong and 2 Others Civil Appeal No. J4/45 2011 (30th January, 2013). In that case, the appellant, W. O. Saviour who had not filed an appearance participated in the trial and emerged victorious. The Supreme Court saved the judgment in favour of the said W. O. Saviour after the Court of Appeal had set it aside. The Supreme Court speaking through Atuguba JSC stated:
"From the record of appeal and the Court of Appeal held it to be fundamental, W.O. Saviour did not enter appearance let alone file a defence. He however participated to the hilt in the proceedings and emerged from them as a victorious counter claimant. As to this we wish to point out that the battle for substantial, as opposed to technical and fastidious justice, has been irreversibly won. At the time of the institution of the consolidated suits herein, as noted by Kanyoke J.A. in the Court of Appeal, the new High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2004, C.I. 47 had come into force. The comprehensive terms of Order 81 rule 1(1) and 2(2) have indubitably given statutory stamp to the ancient maxim cuilibet licet renunciarejuri pro se introducto, i.e. a person can waive what the law has ordained for his own advantage. In Obeng v. Boateng (1966) GLR 689 Amissah J.A. (as J) did not invalidate the participation in the proceedings of certain third parties who had filed no appearance thereto."
Accordingly, the Judgment in default of appearance dated the 5th day of September, 2018 which was entered for the Plaintiff/Respondent herein is hereby set aside. Consequently, the execution process must also cease. Leave is hereby granted to the Defendant/Applicant is to enter appearance within seven (7) days from the date hereof.
It appears the plaintiff has incurred considerable expenditure in the ongoing execution of the judgment. In view of this, costs of GHC 20,000 is awarded against the Applicant in favour of the Respondent.

IT'S UCONN AND IOWA FOR THE 2K EMPIRE CLASSIC TITLE
IT'S UCONN AND IOWA FOR THE
2K EMPIRE CLASSIC TITLE
It will be UConn and Iowa playing for the championship of the 2K Empire Classic benefiting Wounded Warrior Project on Friday at Madison Square Garden.
In the first game of the doubleheader, UConn led for all but 10 seconds in posting an 83-76 win over No. 15 Syracuse.
Alterique Gilbert and Jalen Adams led the Huskies with 16 points apiece with Gilbert posting six rebounds and eight assists and Adams (pictured) contributing eight rebounds and four assists. Tarin Smith had 14 points and six assists, Eric Cobb recorded a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Christian Vital had 11 points.
The Huskies controlled the inside game, outrebounding the Orange 46-32, including 33 defensive rebounds. The also scored 28 points in the paint.
Syracuse got a game-high 26 points along with seven rebounds from Jalen Carey. Tyus Battle scored 16 points and Elijah Hughes had 15 points.
In the nightcap, Iowa led from start to finish in posting a 77-69 win over No. 13 Oregon.
Jordan Bohannon paced the Hawkeyes with 16 points, primarily on a 9-of-10 effort from the line. Luka Garza scored 12 points, Ryan Kriener had 11 points, and Tyler Cook registered nine points and 10 rebounds.
Iowa was 29-of-33 from the foul line on the night, outscoring the Ducks by 12 points.
Oregon was led by Ehad Amin, who led all scorers with 25 points. Bol Bol had 14 points and Victor Bailey Jr. added 12 points.
The Orange and Ducks will tip things off on Friday at 4:30pm, followed by UConn-Iowa at 6:30pm. This pits two programs that met in the 1999 2K Empire Classic. In that game, Iowa beat then No. 1 UConn 70-68 as Jacob Jaacks scored 20 points to lead the Hawkeyes. Khalid El-Amin had 26 for the Huskies.

Refugee Hakeem al-Araibi will remain in a Thai prison until at least April 22 after a Bangkok court gave him two months to prepare a defence against being extradited to Bahrain.
The Bahraini footballer, who fled his country and has refugee status in Australia, arrived at court on Monday with his feet in shackles, to fight an extradition request from Bahrain.
He addressed the court in Arabic, stating that he could be killed if returned to his home country.
"Don't send me to Bahrain," pleaded the footballer, who claims he faces persecution and torture if he is sent back.
Araibi fled Bahrain in 2014 before being granted permanent residence in Melbourne, where he played for second-tier soccer club Pascoe Vale. He was arrested while on honeymoon in Bangkok in November on an Interpol notice issued at Bahrain's request.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote last month urging Thailand to stop the extradition. Soccer's governing bodies and human rights activists have also urged the country to let Araibi return to Australia.
Former Australian soccer captain Craig Foster, who has been campaigning around the world for Araibi's release, was also at the court on Monday to show support for the Bahraini refugee.
"Hakeem will tell the court that he will not go back to Bahrain," his lawyer Nadthasiri Bergman, told Reuters before the hearing, adding that the court would then set the date for the next hearing.

World's Biggest Tram Network to Get New Distinction in 2018
Change will spread across 155 miles of track.
John Power October 24, 2017
(Photo by Bahnfrend)
Melbourne's tram network, with 250 kilometers of track (155 miles), is already the largest in the world. Next year, the system will add another distinction: It will be the first to be powered entirely by solar energy.
The state of Victoria is establishing two new solar farms to supply the electricity needs of Melbourne's fleet of more than 400 trams by the end of 2018. The plants, located in the north of Australia's second-most populous state, are expected to produce about 138 megawatts of electricity annually — several times the amount consumed by the trams, which handle more than 200 million passenger journeys each year. While electricity generated by the solar plants will flow into the overall power grid, the Victorian government says it will purchase renewable energy certificates equal to the energy consumption of the tram network. Through the initiative, the state, which is home to more than 6 million people, claims it will be able to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80,000 tonnes every year, leading to a reduction in CO2 equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road.
"It's a great initiative because trams are kind of synonymous with Melbourne," Cam Walker, national liaison officer for Friends of the Earth Australia, says. "They're really widely loved by the public."
The transition to full solar power forms part of a broader clean energy drive by Victoria, which is often seen as the most progressive of Australia's states and territories. Under Premier Daniel Andrews, a member of the Labor Party, the state has set clean energy targets — 25 percent by 2020 and 40 percent 2025 — ahead of the country as a whole. Despite the recommendations of a review into Australia's future energy security by its chief scientist Alan Finkel, the federal government has ruled out a national target.
"The development of renewable energy and decarbonization of the energy supply is one of the key economic challenges and opportunities facing jurisdictions across the globe," says Lily D'Ambrosio, Victoria's minister for environment, energy and climate change. "The global economy is moving away from high-emissions energy, so it is imperative that we focus on diversifying our energy mix and bringing on new technologies. This is essential if we are to contribute to international efforts to meet the carbon emission (reduction) required to avert dangerous climate change."
The state's goals are certainly ambitious. It is aiming for zero-net carbon emissions by 2050, which climate scientists say is the level of reduction needed to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius. In August, Victoria followed up its headline-grabbing tram initiative by announcing it would award contracts for 650 megawatts worth of renewable projects through a reverse auction. If realized, the resulting energy output would be enough to power 389,000 homes across the state.
Whether such lofty aspirations will ultimately be realized, however, is up for debate.
Walker, of Friends of the Earth, says chances of success are "anyone's guess at this point," but the outlook would become clearer after the state announced specific emissions reduction targets in the coming months.
"At this point, there are no plans to shut down any further coal-fired power stations in Victoria or the country that are driven by government policy," he says. "The only reason companies are exiting the market is because of economic decisions by the companies. So at this point we're not on track to meet our targets, but we're hopeful the actions of states like Victoria in the coming year will help drive us in the right direction."
Conservative politicians, too, have poured skepticism on the state government's plans. Matthew Guy, leader of the opposition Liberal Party, recently dismissed the targets as "political vanity," saying they would do nothing to reduce electricity prices, which have soared over 200 percent for businesses since 2015.
"The reality is that power bills will rise as a result of a state-based renewable energy target — no one believes government spin that they won't," Guy said in August.
The Victorian government is undeterred. In a state that likes to tout its forward-thinking credentials, the government is keen to be seen taking the lead where others have dithered.
"The Andrews Labor Government is determined to position Victoria as the national leader in the renewable energy sector," says D'Ambrosio. "Victoria has always been ahead of the curve and it intends to stay that way."

North Korea confirms test-firing of biggest ICBM
By Kim Tong-Hyung, The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea says it test-fired its biggest-yet intercontinental range ballistic missile under the orders of authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, who vowed to expand the North's "nuclear war deterrent" while preparing for a "long-standing confrontation" with the United States.
The report by North Korean state media on Friday came a day after the militaries of South Korea and Japan said they detected the North launching an ICBM from an airport near capital Pyongyang in its first long-range test since 2017.
The launch extended a barrage of weapons demonstrations this year that analysts say are aimed at forcing the United States to accept the idea of North Korea as a nuclear power and remove crippling sanctions against its broken economy that has been further damaged by pandemic-related difficulties.

The Hwasong-17 ICBM, which was fired on a high trajectory to avoid the territorial waters of neighbors, reached a maximum altitude of 6,248 kilometers (3,880 miles) and traveled 1,090 kilometers (680 miles) during a 67-minute flight before landing in waters between North Korea and Japan, Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said.
The agency claimed the test met desired technical objectives and proved that the ICBM system would be promptly operated during wartime conditions.
The South Korean and Japanese militaries had announced similar flight details, which analysts say suggested that the missile could reach targets 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles) away when fired on normal trajectory with a warhead weighing less than a ton. That would place the entire U.S. mainland within striking distance.
Believed to be about 25 meters (82 feet) long, the Hwasong-17 is the North's longest-range weapon and, by some estimates, the world's biggest road mobile ballistic missile system. The missile was first revealed in a military parade in October 2020 and Thursday's launch represented its first full-range test.
The KCNA published photos of the missile leaving a trail of orange flames as it soared from a launcher truck on the airport's runway and Kim smiling and clapping as he celebrated with military officials from an observation deck.

The agency paraphrased Kim as saying that his new weapon would make the "whole world clearly aware" of the North's bolstering nuclear forces. He vowed his military to acquire "formidable military and technical capabilities unperturbed by any military threat and blackmail and keep themselves fully ready for long-standing confrontation with the U.S. imperialists."
South Korea's military responded to Thursday's launch with live-fire drills of its own missiles launched from land, a fighter jet and a ship, underscoring a revival of tensions as nuclear negotiations remain frozen. It said it confirmed readiness to execute precision strikes against North Korea's missile launch points as well as command and support facilities.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters the United States requested an open Security Council meeting on the launch and looks forward to having it on Friday.
The United States also imposed fresh sanctions against five entities and individuals located in Russia and North Korea over transferring sensitive items to the North's missile program, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.
Thursday's test was North Korea's 12th round of weapons launches this year and represented the most provocative test since U.S. President Joe Biden took office.
North Korea's resumption of nuclear brinkmanship reflects a determination to cement its status as a nuclear power and wrest badly needed economic concessions from Washington and others from a position of strength, analysts say. Kim may also feel a need to trumpet his military accomplishments to his domestic audience and drum up loyalty as he grapples with economic difficulties.
The North's tests this year also included demonstrations of a purported hypersonic weapon, a long-range cruise missile and an intermediate range missile potentially capable of reaching Guam, a major U.S. military hub in the Pacific.
The U.S. and South Korean militaries had assessed that the North was preparing a full-range test of the Hwasong-17 following their analysis of two North Korean midrange launches in recent weeks, which they said included components of the new ICBM.
Following a highly provocative streak in nuclear explosive and ICBM tests in 2017, Kim suspended such testing in 2018 ahead of his first meeting with then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
But negotiations derailed after the collapse of the second Kim-Trump meeting in February 2019 when the Americans rejected North Korean demands for a major release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions against the North in exchange for a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities.
The North's previous ICBMs demonstrated potential range to reach the American homeland during three flight tests in 2017. The development of the larger Hwasong-17 possibly indicates an aim to arm it with multiple warheads to overwhelm missile defenses.
Kim presided over a ruling Workers' Party meeting on Jan. 19, where Politburo members issued a veiled threat to end his moratorium on ICBM and nuclear tests, citing U.S. hostility.
South Korea's military has also detected signs that North Korea was possibly restoring some of the tunnels at its nuclear testing ground that were detonated in May 2018, weeks ahead of Kim's first meeting with Trump.
Some experts say the North may resume nuclear testing in coming months to claim it acquired an ability to build nuclear warheads small enough to fit on some of its new delivery systems, including the hypersonic missile.

CARES Act information for donors
In the wake of all the news surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic, passage of the CARES Act came as a breath of fresh air to many Americans – for many different reasons. Provisions designed to stimulate charitable giving were particularly welcome in the nonprofit world. Following is a summary of the elements of the bill most relevant to those interested in making charitable gifts.
• Donors who itemize may now deduct cash gifts up to 100% of their AGI - Adjusted Gross Income. This represents an increase from the 60% limit authorized in previous legislation. The IRS has not issued guidance for donors who give both cash and appreciated property in 2020. Consult your tax advisor for the implications of this provision on your own situation.
• Non-itemizers may now take a charitable tax deduction of up to $300 for cash donations, on top of the standard deduction. This provision is for the year 2020, but may continue in the years ahead. Consult your tax advisor for guidance on this provision.
• In the case of both the itemizer and non-itemizer, the deductions only apply with donations to qualified public charities. Gifts to donor advised funds and supporting organizations do not fall into that category.
• For the year 2020, IRA owners are exempt from taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) from their accounts. However, persons who are 70 ½ or older may still make a charitable distribution from an IRA directly to charity of up to $100,000.
This summary is for information and should not be construed as professional advice. As always, it is best for you to consult with your tax advisor to gain a full understanding of the effect of these provisions on your individual tax situation.

Q: Fixed size log file containing only the most recent entries I have a bug that is guaranteed to happen if the program runs long enough (more than an hour.)
The only way to solve this is to print a massive amount of debugging information, which unfortunately is growing at a rate of 1MB/s!
Though util.Logging.FileHandler has the option to set the size limit of the log files, it simply erases the files and write from scratch once the limit is reached.
Is there a way to write to a log file in a "rolling" manner, such that on exceeding size limit, newest entries displace oldest ones instead of wiping everything out? Currently, I juggle among the log files, but it can get confusing.
Thank you!

A: Can you use or have you considered using Log4j??
Search for 'RollingFileAppender' in the manual. Playing with its 'MaxFileSize' and 'MaxBackupIndex' properties should do the trick!

Calvaruso (Carvarusu in siciliano) è stato un comune italiano, oggi frazione di Villafranca Tirrena nella città metropolitana di Messina in Sicilia.

Geografia fisica
Calvaruso dista circa  da Villafranca, è posta a 110 metri sul livello del mare e ospita circa 550 abitanti.

Situato in una valle percorsa dall'omonimo torrente, è sovrastato da colline coltivate a ulivi, viti, castagni e alberi da frutto.

Storia
L'abitato di Calvaruso si sarebbe sviluppato intorno al XIII secolo grazie a coloni provenienti da Rometta, di cui il territorio disabitato in cui sorse faceva parte. La terra, infeudata per la prima volta da Perrone Gioeni in epoca aragonese, passò successivamente ai Castagna, e da questi per via ereditaria ai Ventimiglia, ai La Grua, ai Pollicino e infine ai Moncada. Con i Moncada, la baronia di Calvaruso fu elevata a principato per investitura al titolo di I principe di Calvaruso di Cesare Moncada Saccano (1588-1648), con privilegio concessogli il 20 giugno 1628 da parte del re Filippo IV di Spagna, ed escutoriato l'11 settembre dell'anno medesimo.

Il Principato di Calvaruso fu soppresso dopo l'abolizione del regime feudale avvenuta nel 1812, e il borgo divenuto comune, fu amministrativamente inserito nel Distretto di Messina, che nel 1818, dopo la fusione territoriale tra Regno di Napoli e Regno di Sicilia che portò alla nascita del Regno delle Due Sicilie, fu inserito nella provincia omonima.

Nel 1820, la popolazione di Calvaruso contava 801 abitanti, e dopo l'Unità d'Italia, superò i 1.000 abitanti, per poi decrescere leggermente al di sotto di tale soglia al censimento del 1921.

Il centro peloritano fu colpito dal terremoto di Messina del 1908, e il bilancio fu di un morto, di 70 feriti, di 54 edifici distrutti, 262 gravemente danneggiati e 48 leggermente danneggiati su un totale complessivo di 500, dovuti ad una scossa del 6º grado di intensità.

In epoca fascista, per effetto del Regio Decreto 28 marzo 1929, il Comune di Calvaruso venne soppresso ed accorpato assieme ai vicini comuni di Bauso e Saponara Villafranca, dalla cui fusione sorse il comune di Villafranca Tirrena, di cui da allora è frazione.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse
Chiesa di Santa Margherita
Sorge all'ingresso del centro abitato, nella piazzetta principale, e la sua edificazione risalrebbe al 1607, per volontà dei Moncada in onore a Santa Margherita di Antiochia. Costruita in stile tardo rinascimentale, al suo interno la chiesa è composta da tre navate divise da robuste colonne monolitiche, e l'altare è realizzato in stile barocco.

Danneggiata dagli eventi sismici del 1894 e 1908, conserva ancora una preziosa tavola di Santa Lucia dipinta nel 1582 da Antonio Venesio, detto il Veneziano, e nel tetto un dipinto con la Gloria di Maria di Scipio Manni del 1761. É presente anche una statua in legno di Santa Margherita realizzata nel 1871 dallo scultore Michele Cangeri.

Palazzo baronale
Di costruzione seicentesca, si tratta in realtà di un castello, e fu dimora stabile dei Principi di Calvaruso. Attualmente è in stato di abbandono.

Santuario Gesù Ecce Homo
Sorse intorno al 1619 per volontà della nobildonna Eleonora Gaetani, moglie di Francesco Moncada, barone di Calvaruso, che fece erigere sul poggio di San Giovanni, sito di fronte al piccolo centro, una chiesa con annesso convento da affidare alla custodia dei Francescani Minori Riformati. Inizialmente intitolata all'Immacolata Concezione, il convento fu confiscato a seguito delle leggi eversive del 1866.

Nel 1900, il santuario fu venduto a Donna Maria Caterina Scoppa dei baroni di Badolato, nota come la Marchesa di Cassibile, che nel 1907 donò e restituì la fabbrica ai frati francescani del Terzo Ordine Regolare, attuali custodi.

L'interno del convento è caratterizzato da un chiostro seicentesco a pianta quadrangolare, con cisterna al centro e un colonnato di dodici pilastri. Nel Santuario si trova l'immagine dellEcce Homo, scolpita in legno di cipresso nel 1634 dal frate Umile da Petralia.

Museo della Devozione Popolare
Ricavato in alcuni locali del chiostro del convento dei frati francescani del Terzo Ordine Regolare, sono conservate tele ottocentesche, arredi sacri ed una biblioteca con opere a stampa dei secoli XVII-XIX.

"I was four years old when my father came back to kidnap me," begins this gripping memoir about Matousek's search for James Matousek, the drifter father he never knew. Described by the New York Times as "part reminiscence, part detective story, part spiritual musing," this memoir is more than the story of one man's search for his father; it is also a look at the meaning of life and how fathers contribute to that meaning.
Growing up in a family of troubled women (Matousek's sister committed suicide when the author was 29), he describes the turmoil of growing up "fatherless in America" – an experience shared by millions of children in what sociologists have called the Age of the Absent Father – and the difficult, ultimately successful, struggle to figure out what being a man really means in an age of shifting definitions, evolving sexuality, and "breaking out the man box" of stereotyping and patriarchy. With the tension of a mystery story, the climax occurs when Matousek meets a man he believes to be his father. But is he? And does Matousek, who has reconciled with his mother as she lay dying, really care? These are just two questions leading to this memoir's surprising conclusion.

The brief was to design a family home that can also function as showcase for my architectural business. My inspiration was the post war housing Architecture: Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House and the Philip Johnson Glasshouse.
The design focussed on the use of glass and the transparency of the home which enabled a seamless integration into the landscape.
The build incorporated a slab on ground, steel frame, flat metal roof and glass enclosure.
Water tanks, effluent disposal systems and the orientation of the house were all designed and incorporated to maximise their potential.
I had a unique role in this project that presented its own set of challenges, I was the client, the Architect and the builder. Convincing my husband to live in a transparent glass home also took a bit of convincing.

Wells Fargo has big loss as it adds to reserves (Reuters)
"The quarterly loss at San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, not including Wachovia, was $2.55 billion, or 79 cents per share, compared with a profit of $1.36 billion, or 41 cents, a year earlier. Revenue fell 4 percent to $9.82 billion.
The company also said the former Wachovia Corp, which it bought on December 31, lost $11.17 billion in the fourth quarter, largely to boost loan loss reserves as well as investment writedowns. Before Wells Fargo outbid Citigroup Inc to take control, Wachovia nearly collapsed as losses soared from troubled mortgages."
Boeing Posts Quarterly Loss on Strike Impact and Charges (PRNewswire)
Fourth-quarter net income declined to a loss of $56 million, or $0.08 per share, reflecting the now-settled machinists' strike (EPS impact estimated at $1.09 per share), a charge related to the 747 ($0.61 per share) and a litigation-related reserve ($0.09 per share).
Revenues for the quarter declined 27 percent to $12.7 billion, due primarily to the effects of the strike which reduced commercial airplane deliveries by approximately 70 units and revenues by an estimated $4.3 billion.
For the full year of 2008, net income fell 34 percent to $2.7 billion, EPS was $3.71 per share, and revenue fell 8 percent to $60.9 billion. Full-year results were impacted by the strike, the 747 charge, the litigation-related reserve, and higher costs for AEW&C announced in the second quarter, which together reduced full-year EPS by an estimated $2.56 per share. This was partially offset by lower pension and deferred compensation expenses.
"The progress we made in many areas of Boeing during 2008 was outweighed by the impact of the strike and our performance on some key development programs," said Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "Our imperative going forward is improving execution where it needs to be improved, maintaining strong performance across all our production programs, and preserving our financial strength to grow in these challenging economic times."

Q: Strong Parameters Nested Attributes, ActionController Unknown Format Trying to get nested attributes working with my POST requests.
The create and privates method in my controller looks like this:
  def create
    respond_to do |format|
      format.json { head :ok }
    end

    Event.create!(event_params)
  end

  private

  def event_params
    #puts "**** #{params.to_yaml}"

    params.require(:event).permit(:name, parameters_attributes: [:topic_name])
  end

An instance of Event is created, but parameters doesn't. Also, I get an ActionController:UnknownFormat error.  The private method looks right according to the nest attributes docs I've looked at, but not following why Event creates but Parameter doesn't.
Heroku logs give this.
INFO -- :   Parameters: {"name"=>"Topic Views", "topic_name"=>"First Topic to Prepare Bloccit for API Testing", "created_at"=>"2014-04-15 00:22:38 UTC", "event"=>{"name"=>"Topic Views", "created_at"=>"2014-04-15 00:22:38 UTC", "topic_name"=>"First Topic to Prepare Bloccit for API Testing"}}
I, [2014-04-21T05:56:08.116439 #2]  INFO -- : Completed 406 Not Acceptable in 0ms
F, [2014-04-21T05:56:08.117418 #2] FATAL -- :
ActionController::UnknownFormat (ActionController::UnknownFormat):
app/controllers/events_controller.rb:11:in `create'

UPDATE
  def create
    @event = Event.create!(event_params)
    @event.parameters.create!(event_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.json { head :ok }
      format.js
    end
  end

  private

  def event_params
    params.require(:event).permit(:name, parameters_attributes: [:topic_name])
  end

A: Several issues:

*

*You're not passing nested attributes

*You're firing your create! method after the respond_to block

I'd firstly sort out your create method:
def create
    event = Event.new(event_params)
    event.save #-> did this for convention. You can use create! if you want!

    respond_to do |format|
        format.html
        format.json { head: ok }
        format.js
    end
end

Secondly, your form is not passing your nested attributes correctly:
Parameters: {"name"=>"Topic Views", "topic_name"=>"First Topic to Prepare Bloccit for API Testing", "created_at"=>"2014-04-15 00:22:38 UTC", "event"=>{"name"=>"Topic Views", "created_at"=>"2014-04-15 00:22:38 UTC", "topic_name"=>"First Topic to Prepare Bloccit for API Testing"}}

Inside the events params hash, you should have paramaters_attributes:, but you don't. This is basically caused by not building the associated ActiveRecord Object when you fire the new method. You'll need this:
#app/controllers/events_controller.rb
def new
    @event = Event.new
    @event.parameters.build
end

#app/views/events/new.html.erb
<%= form_for @event do |f| %>
    <%= f.fields_for :parameters do |p| %>
        <%= p.text_field :attr %>
    <% end %>
<% end %>

Update
Because you're not using accepts_nested_attributes_for, you'll be better using the params hash as it stands:
def event_params
    params.require(:event).permit(:name, :topic_name)
end

On 29th March 2007, with great sorrow, we departed from our Management Board President, Trajce Mukaetov, the man who dedicated all his life, whole 34 years of his being to Alkaloid. The man who raised Alkaloid to a range of renomed pharmaceutical industry, Alkaloid as it is today.
He was born on 20th September 1945. His career commenced after the graduation from the Electro-technical Faculty in Belgrade as B.S. Specialist in organization of processes and informatics when he was assigned as first director of the Macedonian State Office of Informatics.
He continued his career in Alkaloid, where in 1974 he formed the Computer Centre of this Company, which was declared to be the leading computer centre in Macedonia, under his governance.
changes, Alkaloid remained one of the few companies in the state that managed to maintain the positive trend of growth and development and even improve the operation performances.
As great strategist and visionary, in 1996, he initiated the construction of the new pharmaceutical facilities, equipped with new automatic production lines and increased production capacity. During this period, Alkaloid's cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation was traced, then for the first time, a Macedonian company was granted a loan without an escrow given on behalf of the state.
strategy and long-term policy of the Company continued from the position of President of the Management Board in the course of the last year of his career.
His charisma, visionarism and immense efforts greatly contributed the Macedonian economy. Trajce Mukaetov was awarded many acknowledgments for his achievements. He was member of the managing boards of various eminent organizations in the healthcare sphere, the pharmacy and the sports. He was awarded with Manager of the Republic of Macedonia in 1993 and Manager of the Decade for the period from year1985 to year 1995.
His biography according to all criteria was undoubtedly the main reason for the granting of the title Consul General for the Kingdom of Denmark in Macedonia, honour and trust given only to extraordinary persons.
For the employees of Alkaloid, he was an example of sacrifice, diligence and honesty and shall remain in the remembrance as man of high professionalism and preparedness for immense support for his colleagues and all employees of Alkaloid.
Trajce Mukaetov dearly loved his country, Alkaloid and his family. It was our immense pleasure and great honour to have been his collaborators.

Print media: Modis visit to China is only for the sake of heart to heart with Chinese leaders.
Overseas network April 27, 27 early in the morning, India Prime Minister modi arrived in Wuhan by special plane, opened the fourth visit to China since taking office. For the India government, the purpose of Modis visit is clear, and the most important thing is to rebuild trust between China and India. Before leaving for China, Modi sent out 3 tweets on 26 days, expressing his expectation of meeting with President Xi Jinping. According to the new India express, Moodys first twitter said, I will go to Wuhan, China before from April 27 to 28, 2018, to hold an informal meeting with Xi Jinping, the president of Peoples Republic of China. The second twitter said, President Xi Jinping and I will exchange views on a series of important issues involving bilateral and global issues. We will talk about the vision and priorities for the development of their respective countries, especially in the context of current and future international situations. The last twitter said, we will also examine the development of India China relations from a strategic and long-term perspective. Prior to the media briefing, Kong Xuanyou, Vice Minister for foreign affairs of China, said that President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Modi would hold an informal meeting in Wuhan, Hubei, in from April 27th to 28th. Regarding this, India Quint website pointed out that this is Modis fourth visit to China after he took office in 2014, but this informal meeting is different from before. According to Hao Ran, Ambassador of India to China, the Xi Mo Hui will be carried out in an informal and friendly environment. Leaders of China and India can talk about anything at will. They may discuss some topics during the walk in the park. A number of India media in the report, coincide with the Xi Mo Hui described as a heart to heart meeting. The media pointed out that, during the most of the meeting, leaders of the two countries exchanged exchanges on international, regional and bilateral issues only in the presence of translation. India said the leaders of China and India will build consensus in the 2 day meeting to solve the problem and follow up actions by officials. The aim of the Xi Mo Hui is to create a new paradigm for Sino Indian bilateral relations in the next 15 years. In addition to heart to heart, trust is also a high frequency word in India media. The India Times said the summit was also seen as an effort to rebuild mutual trust and improve relations after the confrontation between the two countries last year. It also indicated that the Chinese and Indian leaders were aimed at a Frank attempt to liberate each other in an important position in the future development of relations between the two countries. The commentary also pointed out that the Xi Mo Hui is not important for the outcome, but for China and India to understand each other better. Another article in the India media is in the title that prime minister Modi has arrived in China. His goal is clear: bridging the trust deficit. The article quoted the source as saying that, considering the lack of strategic mutual trust between the two countries, the meeting will focus on restoring the damaged Sino Indian Relations and how to push Sino Indian relations forward. In addition, a senior government official in India told the India times that there is only one thing on the informal meeting of the Chinese and Indian leaders, that is, trust. The Xi Mo Hui will aim to improve mutual trust between the two countries and ensure that some small problems will not be a stimulating factor between the two sides. Hao Ran, the ambassador of Indias ambassador to China, also expressed on the conversation that the Chinese and Indian leaders will not discuss the specific and microscopic problems, but will focus on more macro content. They may discuss how India sees China and how China looks at India. We hope to have more trust between the two countries. As for why the Chinese side chose the venue of the meeting in Wuhan, India is also concerned about it. In the Stan times, Kong Xuanyous speech was quoted in the article. The informal meeting was selected in Wuhan, not only because Wuhan is the largest city in Central China, but also has a deep historical background and is increasingly closely associated with the India local state. At the same time, Modi visited many cities in Southeast and Northwest China, but he did not visit the central part of China. China believes that the trip to Wuhan will become Premier Modis new experience and further enhance his understanding of China. Indian media also noted that in a recent survey in China, Wuhan was rated as the happiest city in China. And in this picturesque and pleasant place, the two leaders may be ready to join hands and create new history together.

Q: "Unable to access jarfile jenkins.war" getting this error while run the cmd "java -jar jenkins.war" in OS- windows 7 "Unable to access jarfile jenkins.war" getting this error while run the cmd "java -jar jenkins.war" in OS- windows 7
How can I solve?
i did installation as per what showed in youtube

A: Command java -jar jenkins.war in Win7 command line require administrator permission.
Right click on the cmd icon and choose the Run as administrator option.
It worked for Windows 8 too.

A: I also faced this issue after I updated the jenkins version.
The error message was found in <jenkins_dir>/jenkins.error.log

Resolved Step:

*

*Download your jenkins.war at https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/

*Put jenkins.war to your jenkins work directory

*Go Jenkins Service and restart it

*Enjoy it!

Ref: Cannot start Jenkins

A: Make sure you are executing that command in the folder where jenkins.war is actually installed.
Also check if the file is readable, and not preempted by another process (you can check that with Process Explorer)
Finally, double-check the size of jenkins.war, to see if the download was complete, and the file is not corrupted (incomplete or small size): see the list of jenkins.war released.

A: Open Command Prompt as Administrator in Windows . Go to the directory where Jenkins is installed. and stop the Jenkins service first, using jenkins.exe stop
type the command to change the port using, java -jar jenkins.war
You will be able to access the .war file of Jenkins.

A: I had the same issue. What worked for me was adding .jar to the file name, like
java -jar jenkins.war.jar

in case that you face an error that says, "Failed to listen on port 8080"
There is an answer here that worked for me, by pasting the following on cmd,
java -jar jenkins.war.jar --ajp13Port=-1 --httpPort=9090

A: do not create a folder for jenkins.war file
store it right inside downloads direction
then go to your terminal go to downloads direction not to jenkins.war file direction
then type java -jar jenkins.war
it will work


Noun 1. discrepancy - a difference between conflicting facts or claims or opinions; "a growing divergence of opinion"
2. Discrepancies are material and immaterial. A discrepancy is immaterial when there is such a difference between a thing alleged, and a thing offered in evidence, as to show they are not substantially the same; as, when the plaintiff in his declaration for a malicious arrest averred, that "the plaintiff, in that action, did not prosecute his said suit, but therein made default," and the record was, that he obtained a rule to discontinue. 4 M. & M. 2 5 3. An immaterial discrepancy is one which does not materially affect the cause as, where a declaration stated that a deed bore date in a certain year of our Lord, and the deed was simply dated " March 30, 1701." 2 Salk. 658; 19 John. 49 5 Taunt. 707; 2 B. & A. 301; 8 Miss.

В галузі телекомунікацій і програмного забезпечення, масштабовність є бажаною властивістю системи, мережі, або процесу, яка свідчить про здатність системи обробити більший обсяг роботи або бути легко розширеною. Наприклад, масштабовність може позначати здатність системи до збільшення загальної пропускної спроможності відповідно до підвищеного навантаження, коли додано (здебільшого, апаратні) ресурси. Цей термін має аналогічне значення, коли його вживають в галузі комерції, наприклад, масштабовність компанії припускає, що основна бізнес-модель надає можливості для економічного зростання всередині компанії.

В архітектурі програмного забезпечення маштабовність - це здатність підтримувати великі кількості архітектурних компонентів та з'єднань між ними.

Масштабовність, як властивість системи, як правило, важко визначити , і в кожному конкретному випадку потрібно визначити конкретні вимоги до параметрів, які вважаються важливими. Це є дуже важливим питанням у галузі електронних систем, баз даних, маршрутизаторів і мереж. Систему, що підвищує продуктивність роботи після додавання апаратних засобів пропорційно доданим ресурсам, називають масштабовною. Алгоритм, архітектура, мережевий протокол, програма або інша система називається масштабовними, якщо вони ефективні в застосуванні до великих задач (наприклад, великий набір вхідних даних або велика кількість вузлів у випадку розподіленої системи).
