A Spanish firm, Ocean Infrastructure Management, and its Nigerian partner, Franchise and Business Solutions Limited, have concluded plans to meet with the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, over the Ondo deep seaport project on Thursday.
According to a statement from the firms, the meeting with the governor will also witness the presentation and adoption of the project implementation plan for the deep seaport, spelling out targets and timelines for the project completion.
Consultant to the Ondo State Government on the deep seaport project, Amiable Consultancy and Logistics Services Limited, said the project had continued to enjoy the interests of international investors from various parts of the world.
According to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Amiable Consultancy and Logistics Services, Aina Egharevba, the deep seaport will open up the economy of Ondo State and create job opportunities for up to 20,000 people in the coastal areas of the state.
Egharevba, who is a former executive director, Marine and Operations of Nigerian Ports Authority, said some key milestones successfully achieved were the preparation of the port feasibility study, conduct of preliminary surveys such as the bathymetric/hydrographic survey and geotechnical survey, soil resistivity test, Met-Ocean studies, and topographic survey for the deep seaport.

She said the feasibility study and conceptual master plan for the new port had been approved by the NPA.
Egharevba said the visiting Spanish team would also carry out a review of key project issues and establish common understanding of the project objectives with officials of the Ondo State Development and Investment Promotion Agency.
"After this meeting, we will be moving to the next crucial stage, which is the development of the Outline Business Case and Final Business Case for this all important project. We are committed to working with officials of the Ondo State Government to realise the full vision of the governor for the deep seaport," she said.

Puryear to run for DA
By Staff Report on December 15, 2021 Community, Hays County, News
Submitted Report by Candidate
David Puryear
DRIFTWOOD – David Puryear, an experienced former prosecutor and judge, today announced his campaign for Hays County Criminal District Attorney. For nearly four decades, Puryear has built a proven record of dedicated public service at the trial and appellate levels, giving him an unrivaled understanding of, and experience in, the criminal justice system.
"I am running for Hays County Criminal District Attorney because our rapidly growing county needs a leader who has extensive experience in the criminal justice system and who can effectively lead an office of prosecutors," said Puryear. "This is no longer a quiet rural county. We're the fastest growing county in the country and need to be ready to deal with the crime that always accompanies growth. I look forward to partnering with state and local law enforcement to ensure that those who commit crimes in Hays County are swiftly and successfully brought to justice. Crime victims should know that we will doggedly pursue justice for them and criminals should know this isn't Travis County."
David Puryear began his legal career in 1983 as a criminal prosecutor with the Travis County Attorney's Office, rising to become head of the criminal trial division. He then served as first assistant to the elected county attorney for five years, managing the daily operations of an office of more than 155 employees. He also served as an interim Travis County justice of the peace in 1989. He was first elected to office in 1990 as judge of Travis County Court at Law No. 6, where he presided over some 25,000 cases across eight years. Following that, he was appointed as deputy director of the Special Crimes Division of the Office of the Attorney General by Attorney General John Cornyn, where he supervised a team of lawyers in the investigation and prosecution of large-scale felony crimes. In 2000, he was elected to the Third Court of Appeals, serving three terms, from 2001-2018, where he authored more than 2500 court opinions.

North Korea Claims Successful Test of Intercontinental Missile
This unverified photo distributed by the North Korean government shows the apparent launch of a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile, ICBM, in North Korea's northwest, Tuesday, July 4, 2017. (Image: AP)
Just in time for the Fourth of July, North Korea says it has successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The country voted most likely to start WWIII says it can now strike targets anywhere in the world, but military experts believe the missile, which flew for 40 minutes, is a medium range weapon that presents no threat to the United States.
Early this morning, North Korea fired a missile from the vicinity of Banghyon, North Pyongan Province that flew more than 578 miles (930 km) before dropping into the East Sea near Japan, according to US Pacific Command. North Korean state television, with its usual bombast, said the country is now "a full-fledged nuclear power that has been possessed of the most powerful intercontinental ballistic rocket capable of hitting any part of the world," adding that the weapon will enable the country to "put an end to the US nuclear war threat and blackmail" and defend the Korean peninsula.
The Hwasong-14 missile, as it's called, undoubtedly represents a significant improvement in the range of the country's missiles, but the claim that it now possesses bona fide ICBMs—long-range missiles with a minimum range of 3,400 miles (5,500 km)—is likely overstated. As weapons expert David Wright noted in his blog:
A missile of that range would need to fly on a very highly lofted trajectory to have such a long flight time. Assuming a range of 950 km, then a flight time of 37 minutes would require it to reach a maximum altitude of more than 2,800 km (1700 miles). So if the reports are correct, that same missile could reach a maximum range of roughly 6,700 km (4,160 miles) on a standard trajectory. That range would not be enough to reach the lower 48 states or the large islands of Hawaii, but would allow it to reach all of Alaska.
Both the United States and Russia appear to agree with this assessment, saying North Korea has developed a medium-range missile that presents no threat to either country. What's more, there's no indication that North Korea has developed the capacity to miniaturize a nuclear warhead such that it can fit onto a missile.

These caveats aside, it's clear that North Korea is inching closer to its goal of becoming a global nuclear power. The timing of the test—on US Independence Day—is likely deliberate, and a stark warning to Washington and its allies in the region. The test comes just a few days after the first face-to-face meeting of the leaders of the US and South Korea.
President Trump was quick to chime in about the tests in a pair of tweets.
By "this guy," Trump is obviously referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also criticized the test, saying "the latest launch clearly showed that the threat is growing."
Indeed it is, as the folks in Alaska are now all too aware.

Instead of believing these 'experts' that say it poses no threat, why would we take a chance and let them continue this behavior. Send in the MOABs and then the troops and stop this shit now.

Winter In The Rainforest: Porcelain Characters Navigate the Amazon in a Surreal Stop-Motion Short
sysyphus79 30 novembre 2021 Senza categoria
In Anu-Laura Tuttelberg's stop-motion short "Winter In The Rainforest," time passes at an unusual pace. The Estonian writer, director, and animator (previously) sets a cast of fragile, porcelain puppets within the lush rainforests of Chiapas, Mexico, and the Peruvian Amazon, a contrast of real and manufactured that grounds the surreal story. Throughout the film, carnivorous flowers trap their prey, an articulate grasshopper climbs a tree, and a miniature girl wakes from a stupor at a clip that's wildly different from their timelapsed surroundings, which are evident through leaves shaking in the wind and shadows rolling across the landscape at a quickened tempo.
Shot with 16-millimeter film, the grainy short is years in the making—Tuttelberg details the process on her site—and blurs the boundaries between the imagined and real in both material and narrative. Rather than create an illusion of the characters occupying the tropical ecosystem in a lifelike manner, each element progresses at its own speed. She explains:
While moving the puppets frame by frame, I let the light and the nature in the background move naturally. In this way, the puppets are moving smoothly in their own pace and the nature around them is changing rapidly. This creates a new obscure reality of time and space in the film. It keeps the viewer aware of the stop motion technique in the film. I don't want to hide the animation technique behind the scene but rather to bring it out and observe the new strange reality it creates.
"Winter In The Rainforest" has already won numerous festival awards, and Tuttelberg tells Colossal she's working on a sequel titled "Weary Wings Go By," which brings the same cast to the frigid beaches of Estonia and Norway. You can keep an eye out for that project, and watch the animator's previous works, on Vimeo.

Before Germany became a country of its own, Prussia and a newly open Japan had a very friendly relationship. Prussia had been going through a modernization effort with the speed and efficiency that the Germans are known for. This led Japan to view them as a good role model, as Japan wanted to modernize in a similarly effective manner.
To this end, Japan hired many Prussian and German advisers to help them with modernization. These advisers brought the militaristic approach to modernization which worked in Prussia, and later Germany, to Japan.
However, this cozy relationship ended when both nations decided to follow the other major powers and look for colonies.
The problem that Germany faced with its colonization efforts was the fact that the Age of Exploration was coming to an end.
The other major powers of the time had been colonizing the world for years, so all the areas Germany would have considered first were already colonized. This led Germany to turn east and start colonizing different areas of Asia. At the same time, Japan was also looking for colonies and saw their best options in East Asia. This was the same area the Germans were operating in and led to a cooling of the relationship between these nations.
Japan also started to become friendly with Great Britain at this time, which would affect the relationship between Japan and Germany during World War I.
When WWI broke out in 1914, Japan allied with Britain. After the Allies won the war, Japan was quick to take over the former German colonies in Asia.
While this would normally sour relationships between countries, Japan and Germany's friendship would reignite in the post-WWI world.
Japanese foreign minister Yōsuke Matsuoka visits Adolf Hitler in Berlin in late March 1941.
After the war, Germany was not in a good place and was forced to sign an incredibly harsh treaty by the Allied Powers. This led to the crash of the government and economy as well as the rise of the Nazi Party.
In addition, the newly formed League of Nations was unpopular in Germany, and Japan was not a fan of it either.
The League of Nations was not very fair to Japan. Japan would often be punished by the league for its actions against its neighbors.
This sowed the seeds of discontent because the leaders of the League, France and Great Britain, often conducted the same actions against their own colonies. This hypocrisy would lead to Japan withdrawing from the League of Nations.
Adolf Hitler declares war on the United States on 11 December 1941 in the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
As the Nazi Party gained power, Hitler created strong ties with China. However, he changed course and started to view Japan as a more strategic partner in Asia. For its part, Japan wanted to continue expanding, and saw rebuilding its relationship with Germany as beneficial to this goal.
The renewed relationship between Japan and Germany was still fragile when WWII broke out. In the early stages of the war, Japan was strongly allied with Germany, but not involved militarily in the war.
Their relationship was one of mutual benefit rather than a complete alliance, since Japan was more focused on exerting its influence in East Asia.
The true alliance of Japan and Germany would only come about when Japan entered the war. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and other American bases, it led to America declaring war on the Imperial nation.
In response, Germany declared war on America, and thus further strengthened their relationship with Japan. The Tripartite Pact created the Axis Powers, allying Germany, Japan, Italy and a number of smaller countries.
The alliance between Japan and Germany during WWII may seem strange and an odd pairing which did not yield much in terms of results.
In 1943, several major magazines agreed to salute the women war workers of America on their September covers. The Post gave the assignment to Rockwell, who'd already created an iconic tribute to women defense workers with Rosie the Riveter.
For this new cover, he wanted to acknowledge the wide range of jobs that 15 million women had taken up as men went off to war. The result was Rosie to the Rescue, which showed a woman bearing the symbols and tools of several trades hurrying off to her next job. The Post editors claimed 31 different occupations were represented on this cover. Some were jobs traditionally associated with women: cleaning, farming, nursing, and clerical work. Others, indicated by tools such as an electric cable and a monkey wrench, referred to industrial occupations that women were starting to enter in great number.
The cover not only acknowledges women war workers, it also recalls occupations of the 1940s that once employed thousands. Post readers of the day would have instantly recognized the bus-driver's ticket punch, a taxi-driver's change dispenser, a milkman's bottle rack, a switchboard operator's headset, and the blue cap of a train conductor. The railroad industry was also represented by the railroad section hand's lantern, the locomotive engineer's oil can, and that round object swinging on a shoulder strap — a clock used by night watchwomen in railway yards.
At least thirty-one wartime occupations for women are suggested by Norman Rockwell's remarkable Labor Day Post cover. Perhaps you can think of more. The thirty-one we counted, suggested by articles the young lady is carrying or wearing, are: boardinghouse manager and housekeeper (keys on ring); chambermaid, cleaner and household worker (dust pan and brush, mop); service superintendent (time clock); switchboard operator and telephone operator (earphone and mouthpiece); grocery-store woman and milk-truck driver (milk bottles); electrician for repair and maintenance of household appliances and furnishings (electric wire); plumber and garage mechanic (monkey wrench, small wrenches); seamstress (big scissors); typewriter-repair woman, stenographer, typist, editor and reporter (typewriter); baggage clerk (baggage checks); bus driver (puncher); conductor on railroad, trolley, bus (conductor's cap); filling-station attendant and taxi driver (change holder); oiler on railroad (oil can); section hand (red lantern); bookkeeper (pencil over ear); farm worker (hoe and potato fork); truck farmer (watering can); teacher (schoolbooks and ruler); public health, hospital or industrial nurse (Nurses' Aide cap). —"Keeping Posted: The Rockwell Cover," September 4, 1943.
When the war began, quickie marriages became the norm, as teenagers married their sweethearts before their men went overseas. As the men fought abroad, women on the Home Front worked in defense plants and volunteered for war-related organizations, in addition to managing their households. In New Orleans, as the demand for public transportation grew, women even became streetcar "conductorettes" for the first time. When men left, women "became proficient cooks and housekeepers, managed the finances, learned to fix the car, worked in a defense plant, and wrote letters to their soldier husbands that were consistently upbeat." (Stephen Ambrose, D-Day, 488) Rosie the Riveter helped assure that the Allies would have the war materials they needed to defeat the Axis.
The National WWII Museum recognizes the contribution that women played in the success of the Allied victory in World War II and explores that contribution in depth in its newest permanent exhibit, The Arsenal of Democracy: The Herman and George Brown Salute to the Home Front.
Let's hear about those Victory Gardens and other ways your mothers and grandmothers joined in!!
WHAT THE HECK DID WE DO EVERY EVENING BEFORE THIS WAR?
This look back helps us to appreciate what we have today!!
We've all heard about rationing but with GP's help, we'll now know quite a bit more about it. Enjoy.
The Second World War was fought on two fronts and as we've seen in previous posts, the home front rarely received the credit it deserved for its efforts. The generation that endured the Great Depression, worked long, hard hours and were often forced to use the barter system to survive now, for the war effort, had shortages for most everything. If you can name it – there was probably a ration book for it and a black market to get it; if you dared. The children also pitched in by giving, what money they could earn, back into the family.
TO ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN PEACE – HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
REMEMBER THOSE WHO HELPED TO GIVE YOU FREEDOM!!!
AND THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO KEEP US SAFE!!!
I wish to express my thanks to each and every one of you !!
For those of you living where there is no official Thanksgiving Day – look around – family, friends, Freedom and life itself – all enough to give thanks for each day !
They'll look to the next one and hope to be home.
They want you to be happy and enjoy your feast.
Those happy days we can always recall.
When we all come back from defeating the foe.
Please remember the troops that gave you freedom and those that protect it each day !!

Apple's new lawyer, former U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush, calls iPhone-unlock order a 'Pandora's Box'
Monday, February 22, 2016 9:30 am Monday, February 22, 2016 17 Comments
"Apple Inc.'s newly hired outside lawyer, in his first remarks on a U.S. court order requiring the company to help unlock the iPhone of a dead terrorist, said the move could imperil the privacy of millions of people around the world," Miles Weiss reports for Bloomberg
"Former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, a partner with the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said on ABC's 'This Week' program that the order would open a 'Pandora's box' of privacy issues," Weiss reports. "'This is not just one magistrate in San Bernardino,' said Olson, 75, whose wife died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. 'There are hundreds of magistrates, there are hundreds of other courts.'"
"Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook posted a letter on Apple's website last week saying that the directive would create a dangerous precedent that could ultimately require the company to build software to help governments intercept private e-mails and access private health records," Weiss reports. "While Olson has spent most of his career at Gibson Dunn, he served as an assistant U.S. attorney general in the 1980s and was the U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush. He also served on the President's Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board from 2006 to 2008. 'The implications of this are quite serious,' Olson said of the court order. 'People in foreign countries are going to be very, very susceptible to invasions of their privacy if Apple can be forced to change its phone.'"
MacDailyNews Take: The day the U.S. government can force anybody to write something is the day the United States of America as we know it dies.
If this keeps up, you won't need to build a wall. Nobody will want in.
Of course, Apple has in its power to render even these methods, should they be forced upon the company, moot with future iOS updates that protect user privacy from government overreach.
It would be nice, however, not to have to depend on a company to enforce U.S. Constitutional rights, but rather to have a government – made up of people who swear oaths to the Constitution, no less – that protects citizens' Constitutional rights jealously instead of wiping their asses with the document daily.

"The day the U.S. government can force anybody to write something is the day the United States of America as we know it dies.
Oh come on. This comment has just gone too far.
I agree. I support Apple in this case, largely because I do think it would set a bad precedent with regards to what foreign governments could compel Apple and other companies to do.
But the rhetoric is getting so hyperbolic. As important as this case is, this is not the end of the world. As for privacy rights and government, let's face it, we already deal with compromises that the people, throughout generations, have approved of in the name of security.
I cannot imagine anything more intrusive than a government security agent being able to come into my home; yet they can do just that with a search warrant and it is commonly accepted, and rightfully so. The government for decades could wiretap your phone with a search warrant, and no on cries out.
So let's get off of our high horse and realize that this is yet another case where we work through a complex issue to arrive at a stance that society can agree to live with. There is usually a trade off between security and privacy; the question is where we draw the line. Same as it ever was.
Oh come on yourself. Are you blind? Haven't you read MDN 'takes' before?
Hyperbole and schadenfreud are encrypted into MDN's DNA!

Far too low for my comfort. We need more participants. Still less than 20% needed.
researchteacher
We're already forced to buy health insurance, not to mention subjecting ourselves to invasive searches at airports, and hand over close to half of our income in taxes. It's important for Apple to fight this, but it's not the issue of our lifetimes. If it were Samsung instead of Apple being forced to do this I think people would be far less interested.
The government as we know it changed generations ago. Whether or not Apple is forced to comply, hundreds of millions of people will still want to come here. Privacy is just one area that the government needs to be pushed back on.
Assuming Apple holds the line I hope people don't just mindlessly return to trusting the government because they are promised free healthcare, or college tuition or any other goodies that politicians have promised forever.
"If it were Samsung instead of Apple being forced to do this I think people would be far less interested"
People of discern aren't interested in anything this low life company does or produces.
Sounds like you need a new tax preparer.
Lynnw
Your comment against MDN's take is so wrong and has gone too far imo. If Ted Olson has maintained objectivity even though he lost his wife on 911, I suppose his comments have gone too far as well. Perhaps you should be in another country called "China" and experience their constitutional laws; that is if they have any "for the people." Guess you don't like Ben Franklin either.
chazz15
We don't know what Apple had to do with the Chinese Government to access that market. We do know many many other industries handed over much of their IP as a requirement for access. While all this plays out on the public stage, none of what was done in China has seen the light of day yet.
Johnnyice
I'm just a little distressed that no one has mentioned that while in the hands of the government, the iPhone in question had its password changed. This tells me that they had access to the phone. You can't change the password without having access to the phone in the first place. This is a larger can of worms than we know about. I have to side with Mr. Cook in this matter. It looks like a ploy to be able to gain access to anyone's iPhone whenever they want.
mikecaine
It was the iCloud password, not the iPhone's passcode. Still a cock up though, either through stupidity or maliciously to prevent one of Apple's suggested workarounds from happening
The Cringely take on this is the one I find most interesting. This has all blown up in the very week that the balance on the SCOTUS was drastically altered by the death of Justice Scalia.
"Cringely" opines that the Justice Department might be trying to force the issue and get it before the SCOTUS in order to get a privacy favourable ruling.
MDN is showing no creativity is this matter which is really dissapointing. Meta-data collection is an established precedent for phone calls. Email and text msg address meta-data cannot be ignored any longer. Apple is on the wrong side for the limited type of data needed to track accomplices to a crime.
I love your comment MDN: "The day the U.S. government can force anybody to write something is the day the United States of America as we know it dies."
I regret that your country is dead man walking but haven't you wondered why the zombie movies are so popular these days.
Regarding your comment "If this keeps up, you won't need to build a wall. Nobody will want in." It's becoming that way for sure, but the other issue it keeping you in, you'll still need a wall for that. I'm sure the people of the free and civilized world will be happy to pay for it. Heck they'll even decorate with feathers, so it can be called the feathered wall and you can stomp your chest saying it represent the supreme dominance of the bald eagle on one side of the wall while the feathers on the other side of the wall will represent characteristics normally attributed to chickens.
Let's see what happens if and when Pandora's Box is open. I sure hope this guy is a good lawyer, not that the law stops this government from doing what it wants.
Is there anyone else here feel this is so deja vu from the Nazis? Just asking.
If you mean, is this fear-mongering? in a naked attempt to hoodwink the public? In order to seize power?
It looks like it.
Thanks for your post, I have to agree with your observation. I think I've admired a few of your other posts. I'm glad people are talking about it, might translate into some action.
Mind you I'm an outsider in all of this, but in light of what has happened in the post second 9-11 fiasco and what Mr. Assange and Mr. Snowden have revealed about this country I think it's fair game that humans speak out against this as well.

Injured Novak Djokovic still too good for Grigor Dimitrov
Credit: Alamy
Novak Djokovic fired a warning shot to the other Australian Open title contenders with a straight-sets win over Grigor Dimitrov in their third-round match on Saturday, despite struggling with a hamstring injury.
The Serbian continued his bid for a 10th Australian Open title with a 7-6(7), 6-3, 6-4 victory over the Bulgarian, although fears about his fitness continued to grow.
Djokovic is eyeing a 22nd Grand Slam title to match Rafael Nadal, but was not at his mobile best during the first set in particular, whilst struggling with an injury to his left hamstring.
He began with a break in the topsy-turvy opening set and had three set points with the score at 5-3. However, Dimitrov fought back to force a tiebreak, which Djokovic won in thrilling fashion.
Djokovic took a medical time-out and returned somewhat rejuvenated, albeit with a heavily strapped leg, and wrapped up the second set after breaking in the sixth game.
Whilst the long-time world number one was clearly below his best, he grew in stature as the game progressed and ultimately the fourth seed wrapped up the third set with a double break.
The error-prone Dimitrov got one of the breaks back, but it was too little late and Djokovic advanced to the last 16.
"Every point, every game mattered," Djokovic said after the match.
"I think the turning point for both players was right from the blocks, very first game making an early break for me was important.
"Obviously, I didn't know how I'm going to feel physically, it was going up and down.
"It was an incredible battle, three sets over three hours. Let's rest up and prepare for the next one."
Djokovic first aggravated his hamstring en route to winning his 92nd career title at the Adelaide International earlier this month and has been struggling with it ever since.
He gave his leg as much time as possible to recover by skipping his normal training sessions on the day before the match.
In the next round, Djokovic will face Australian Alex de Minaur.
Local favourite De Minaur defeated Benjamin Bonzi 7-6, (7-0) 6-2, 6-1 to book his place in the fourth round to set up a mouthwatering clash for the home fans.
"I hope everyone that was on this court right now is going to go and support Alexei Popyrin," De Minaur said after the match.
"That's all we do. Us Aussies, we stick together. We've got a bright future ahead and let's get 'Popeye' to the line today."

If you are a business owner, your business may be undergoing financial difficulties.
On the other hand, if you are a creditor (for example, a supplier or a lender), one of your customers may be undergoing some hardships and is unable to pay their accounts with you.
We present some options available to you, depending on whether you are a business owner or a creditor.
A proposal is an arrangement proposed by a debtor company and negotiated with its creditors, usually with the assistance of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. There are two types of proposals – an informal proposal negotiated outside the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, and a formal proposal filed under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act .
A debtor company undergoing financial difficulty may make an informal proposal to its creditors to negotiate either a reduction in the amount owed, a change in terms of payment, or both.
An informal proposal is ideal in more simplistic situations where the creditors are few in number and they believe that there is no better alternative than to settle.
The debtor company usually approaches each creditor individually, explaining the circumstances and the offer of settlement. This could be done with the assistance of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee to act as a facilitator between the debtor company and its creditors.
If the proposal is declined by the creditors, a bankruptcy will not automatically occur. If the proposal is successful and the debtor company complies with the terms agreed upon, the settlement is completed and business continues.
In contrast to an informal proposal, a formal proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act has two distinct advantages. First, upon filing a proposal, a stay of proceedings is immediately in effect. Second, a formal proposal, if accepted by the appropriate percentage of creditors, becomes binding on all unsecured creditors. That is, it does not require the acceptance of all creditors.
The company can make monthly payments out of its cash-flow over several years to pay off the settlement amount.
The company can make a lump sum settlement by obtaining funds from a third party who may invest or lend money to the company in return for shares or a promissory note.
The company can table a "liquidating proposal." Under such a proposal, the shareholders set up a new corporation. The new corporation purchases the assets from the debtor company and the sale proceeds are used to finance the debtor company's proposal.
Once these details are determined, the proposal is drafted and signed by an authorized signing officer of the company, along with other statutory documents. The proposal is filed with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), a division of Industry Canada . Once the proposal is filed, a stay of proceedings is in effect, and the company becomes creditor-proof.
The Licensed Insolvency Trustee is required to schedule a meeting of creditors to review and discuss the proposal. In anticipation of that meeting the trustee sends a copy of the proposal and a report on the proposal to the creditors.
At the meeting, the creditors vote (in person or by proxy) either for or against the proposal. The approval of the proposal requires the support of a majority in the number of creditors present at the meeting, and two-thirds in the value of the claims filed by those creditors. If these voting criteria are not met, then the proposal fails and the company is automatically bankrupt.
There may be amendments to the proposal that are made at the meeting of creditors as a result of discussions or negotiations with certain creditors. If the creditors and the company mutually agree to amendments to the proposal, then the creditors vote for the amended version of the proposal.
Once the creditors approve the proposal, the trustee arranges for the bankruptcy court to review and approve the proposal. The court reviews the proposal for fairness and ensures that it complies with certain statutory requirements.
Upon the approval of the proposal by the court, the company proceeds to fulfill the terms of the proposal. Upon fulfilling the obligations under the proposal, the company is discharged from its debts.
Quite often, a business will obtain financing from a lender in return for a pledge of its assets to the lender as security for the loan.
A General Security Agreement ("GSA") is a form of security issued by the borrowing company to the lender. It will typically have in its terms the nature of the security and the assets pledged, as well as the lender's right to appoint a receiver to realize on these assets in the event of default by the borrower.
If a GSA is given by a borrower to a lender, and the borrower is not in compliance with its terms, then a receivership could occur. In this situation, a receiver may be appointed by the lender pursuant to the terms of the GSA. Alternatively, if the lender anticipates that the borrower will not voluntarily cooperate with the receiver or there are complex issues involved, the lender may apply to the court for the appointment of a receiver.
Upon its appointment, the receiver will take possession of the borrower's assets and deal with them according to lender's instructions.
The debtor company has committed an act of bankruptcy within the six month period preceding the date the petition was filed. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act lists several "acts of bankruptcy" but the most common one cited in petitions is that the company "cannot pay its debts generally as they become due".
Upon the issuance of a bankruptcy order by the court (which renders the debtor company bankrupt and appoints the bankruptcy trustee), the trustee immediately takes possession of the company's assets and makes an inventory. It also takes possession of the company's books and records.
In circumstances where fraud may be suspected, forcibly rendering a company bankrupt has the advantage of allowing the creditors to investigate suspicious transactions made prior to the bankruptcy. The creditors have an opportunity to question company management at the meeting of creditors, which is generally held 21-days after the bankruptcy date. Company management may also be examined under oath by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy and the court.

Net Worth of Leonardo DiCaprio
Posted on July 21, 2020 July 21, 2020 by ngantran
He is not only the king of Hollywood screens but also the king in making money and spending money. Let's look at the net worth of Leonardo DiCaprio.
The net worth of Leonardo DiCaprio: Luxurious life of a millionaire
Leonardo DiCaprio often played the role of rich billionaire roles on screen. He has repeatedly played the role of rich men in many movies such as Catch me if you can, The Wolf of Wall Street, Django Unchained, J. Edgar, and so on. In fact, the actor is also rich in real life.
Press statistics Leo's current assets amount up to 245 million USD. According to Forbes, in 2015, he brought in $ 29 million, mainly through acting and advertising.
Leonardo DiCaprio started his career with modest salaries like every other actor. One of his first roles in the movie What's eating Gilbert Grape only earned $ 75,000 despite being nominated for Golden Globe and Oscar.
It was only when he made his mark on the world with Titanic that Leo's salaries soared. In Titanic, he was only paid $ 2.5 million, the salary of the following movie The Beach increased to $ 20 million. More later, the amount that the producer must pay to invite him was higher and higher.
Particularly with blockbuster Inception, Leo also got the privilege of having an extra percentage on every movie ticket sold. As a result, he earned up to 60 million dollars with the leading role in this movie.
Leonardo was also a very expensive actor for advertising guests. In 2009, his contract with watch brand Tag Heuer was worth millions of dollars. In 2011, Leo was paid $ 5 million by Chinese phone maker Oppo to film a commercial for just a few minutes.
Macau's The Studio City casino paid Leo up to $ 17 million to appear at the opening and play a 15-minute promotional video.
Not only advertising for casinos, but Leonardo is also a famous gambler burning money in casinos and bars. He often hired private jets to fly his group of close friends to the top entertainment spots in the world.
Each summer, Leo raises millions of dollars to rent a yacht, inviting expensive models to the party all month long.
Many lavish mansions of Leonardo DiCaprio
When not filming or playing, Leo chose one of his lavish mansions to relax.
In New York, he owns an apartment equipped with an installed air purifier. It has a vitamin C bath and acupressure floors. This house is worth 10 million dollars.
In addition, Leo also owns two other apartments costing 8 million and 4 million in this city.
When he wanted to enjoy the California breeze, Leonardo will stay at a 6-bedroom mansion in Palm Springs. This house has its own swimming pool, gym, and tennis court.
Leonardo DiCaprio also owns a small island called Blackadore Caye off the coast of Belize, Honduras. He bought the island for $ 1.75 million and invested several million more to turn it into an eco-friendly resort.
In addition, Leonardo also has a passion for collecting works of art. Art Basel Art Gallery in Switzerland revealed that every purchase of Leo's paintings here costs no less than $ 1 million. He is one of the world's most prolific collectors with works by Picasso, Warhol, and Banksy.

Q: Possibility of caching ls-remote calls I am looking for a possibility to cache git ls-remote <url> calls. Context: We have about 25 parallel Jenkins jobs which do each 400 ls-remotes simultaniously leading to a slow git/gitlab. All 25 jobs do requests on the same repositories, but resulting in different results in the end. I know, this sounds like a design failure, but it's necessary - unfortunately.
So yeah, any ideas?

A: Instead of relying on those jobs to do the ls-remote, you could:

*

*have a dedicated job doing only the minimum required ls-remote calls, each one modifying a file if there is any change

*have your 25 parallel jobs triggered by a change to their respective files.

That is: use files as "flag" to trigger a job, instead of embedded ls-remote calls in those jobs.

The OP Kevin Kendzia confirms in the comments:

We fixed it now by modifying the build system - we doing it once now and writing the hash into a specific file.
  Like you suggested with a dedicated job before.

Trump Plan to Ditch Iran Nuke Deal Hits Stiff Resistance
John Glaser
On 9/22/17 at 11:08 AM EDT
Opinion ISIS Israel Iraq Yemen
This article first appeared on the Cato Institute site.
This has not been a good week for President Trump's Iran policy.
As the president has indicated, he plans in mid-October to decertify Iranian compliance with the nuclear deal, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), negotiated and signed in 2015, which rolled back Iran's nuclear program, placed severe restrictions on it for the foreseeable future, and imposed the world's most intrusive inspections regime on what remained.
Leaving aside for now the various and profoundly negative ramifications of Trump's stated intention to declare Iran in violation of the agreement, the most immediate problem for the president has always been that Iran is, in fact, not in violation of the deal .
As attested to by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and all other signatories to the agreement – including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, China, and Russia – Iran is fully compliant with its obligations under the JCPOA.
But this week brought significant pushback to Trump's plan. Following the president's speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, world leaders and diplomats reportedly pressured the president and members of his administration in numerous meetings to reconsider his plan to scuttle the JCPOA.
Allies publicly criticized him. "Renouncing [the Iran deal] would be a grave error, not respecting it would be irresponsible," said the French president Emmanuel Macron, suggesting further that decertification could create another nuclear crisis like North Korea.
An Iranian Saeqeh missile is launched during war games on April 25, 2010 in southern Iran, near the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow strategically located waterway through which 40 percent of world's seaborne oil supplies pass. Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards fired five missiles as part of an ongoing three-day military drill, with Fars news agency naming two of those tested as the Noor (Light) and Nasr (Victory) missiles. It said a third, having a range of over 300 kilometres was also fired, but did not name it. The Islamic republic's missile program has raised concerns in the West which is already at loggerheads with Tehran over its controversial nuclear project. MEHDI MARIZAD/AFP/Getty
In a press conference following a meeting with representatives from every signatory country, Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union, said that if the United States walks out of the deal, Europe would make sure it remains in place anyways. She further indicated, "The international community cannot afford dismantling an agreement that is working and delivering…Iran is complying."
Mogherini confirmed that all of the parties to the JCPOA, including the United States, agreed in the closed-door meeting that "there is no violation." This prompted questions for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who had to sheepishly admit that "from a technical standpoint, the IAEA reports continue to indicate and confirm that Iran is in technical compliance of the agreement."
Foreign Policy reported that the Trump administration's ploy to use the threat of decertification to reopen negotiations on the JCPOA and squeeze more concessions out of Iran "collapsed on Wednesday as key European powers persevered in their effort to rescue the deal from an American walkout, and Iran's president made clear his government wouldn't revisit the terms of the pact."
The New York Times reported that Trump's repudiation of the international consensus and his brash denunciation of the JCPOA was unintentionally generating global sympathy for Iran, while damaging U.S. credibility and trust.
Even members of Trump's own party began to break ranks. On Tuesday, Rep. Ed Royce, Republican Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN that Trump should not withdraw from the Iran deal, but rather continue to "enforce the hell out of it." Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who opposed the deal when it was signed in 2015, told reporters, "if [Iran is] complying with it, I think we should stay in it."
Then, on Wednesday afternoon, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, General John Hyten, in a speech at the Hudson Institute, said, "The facts are that Iran is operating under the agreement that we signed up for under JCPOA… We have an agreement that our nation has signed and I believe that if the United States of America signs an agreement, it's our job to live up to the terms of that agreement, it's our job to enforce that."
It's not clear that this overwhelming resistance to decertification will dissuade President Trump. But the American people should know that if Trump goes through with it, he'll be doing it in defiance of the facts, the international community, much of his own cabinet, and at least some prominent members of his own party.
This may soon become Congress's responsibility. According to legislation passed subsequent to the signing of the JCPOA, that requires the president to certify Iranian compliance every 90-days, decertification triggers a 60-day clock for Congress to decide by majority vote whether to re-impose nuclear-related sanctions on Iran.
A decision to do so and join President Trump in his misbegotten scheme to unravel the Iran deal would be dangerous and irresponsible.

� Surprise: CBS Spikes Audio of Obama's "Redistribution of Wealth" Quote, Figuring It's Better to Just Call it "Out of Context" | Main | Ohio's Head of Job and Family Services Approved a Child-Support Search on Joe Wurzelbacher Immediately After Third Debate;

Michelle Obama: She Shops At J. Crew, She's Better Than Sarah Palin [Vinnie]
With bonus empathy!
Obama said she and her husband had a policy of spending their own money on their clothes. But she said she wanted to be "empathetic."
"A V.P. pick, it's like being shot out of a cannon. All of a sudden you're at the center of attention, and you want to look good," said Michelle Obama, adding she has never met Palin. "You're living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you're on the national stage and everyone's watching."
Can you say jealous? Sarah Palin gets a measly $150,000 in totally hot, awesome, sexy thigh boots clothes and poor old Michelle MyBelle is stuck with J. Crew and shopping online. Wah fucking wah, coming from the campaign that's spent A HALF A FUCKING BILLION DOLLARS ALREADY!!!! Give me a fucking break.
That's my take, at least. This story has condescension written all over it. But, wait, how does this benefit Michelle Obama's children? Not at all, they're suffering, absolutely distraught over Dad's multimillion dollar half hour ad coming up:
Ten-year-old Malia's reaction to her father's plans to air a 30-minute paid advertisement on national TV Wednesday night?
"'You're going to be on all the TV? Are you going to interrupt my TV?'" her mother said Malia asked.
She said Barack Obama reassured his daughter that he hadn't purchased time on the Disney Channel.
That's right, little Malia, you're leftist indoctrination by Disney would never be co-opted by the leftist indoctrination your dad is trying to foist on the rest of us.
Uh, everyone else is doing Open Blog Posts. Ace? Help here?

The Map that Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology
By Simon Winchester
Synopsis: From the author of the bestselling THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN comes the fascinating story of William Smith, the orphaned son of an English country blacksmith, who became obsessed with creating the world's first geological map and ultimately became the father of modern geology.
In 1793 William Smith, a canal digger, made a startling discovery that was to turn the fledgling science of the history of the earth — and a central plank of established Christian religion — on its head. He noticed that the rocks he was excavating were arranged in layers; more important, he could see quite clearly that the fossils found in one layer were very different from those found in another. And out of that realization came an epiphany: that by following the fossils, one could trace layers of rocks as they dipped and rose and fell — clear across England and, indeed, clear across the world. Determined to publish his profoundly important discovery by creating a map that would display the hidden underside of England, he spent twenty years traveling the length and breadth of the kingdom by stagecoach and on foot, studying rock outcrops and fossils, piecing together the image of this unseen universe.
In 1815 he published his epochal and remarkably beautiful hand-painted map, more than eight feet tall and six feet wide. But four years after its triumphant publication, and with his young wife going steadily mad to the point of nymphomania, Smith ended up in debtors' prison, a victim of plagiarism, swindled out of his recognition and his profits. He left London for the north of England and remained homeless for ten long years as he searched for work. It wasn't until 1831, when his employer, a sympathetic nobleman, brought him into contact with the Geological Society of London — which had earlier denied him a fellowship — that at last this quiet genius was showered with the honors long overdue him. He was summoned south to receive the society's highest award, and King William IV offered him a lifetime pension.
THE MAP THAT CHANGED THE WORLD is, at its foundation, a very human tale of endurance and achievement, of one man's dedication in the face of ruin and homelessness. The world's coal and oil industry, its gold mining, its highway systems, and its railroad routes were all derived entirely from the creation of Smith's first map; and with a keen eye and thoughtful detail, Simon Winchester unfolds the poignant sacrifice behind this world-changing discovery.

Wiki Entry for William Smith
This was a wonderful book I read when it first came out. A gift from a friend I never really had any interest in geology, but Winchester wrote such a compelling story that I read through the whole thing in no-time flat! The map that Smith made and the tragedy of his work added a human face to science that it so often needs. Make sure you read this one 🙂 – @popsciguyoz

Always precede exercise 4 by exercises 1 and 2.
When you feel ready, visualize that the room around you is dissolving completely in an ocean of high spiritual vibrations. Let the waves of energy of your imagination transport you far away, say, to the top of a sacred mountain.
Within yourself, unfold the energetic qualities of the Hermit, a seeker of solitude and rest from the turmoil of the world. Look around you and sense that you are a lone traveler, seeking to find refuge. Try to get in touch with the feeling of being a traveler who needs to create a sacred space. Your intuition will guide your search, and find the perfect spot for you. As always, accept the first impression that you receive.
The place your intuition finds for you will be rooted in your ethereal and mystical heart and will be your axial pole, the pillar of consciousness and your point of contact, which will harmonize all the magnetic energies among your subtle bodies. This place will be a consecrated and most holy inner space, where the energies of the earth and sky will meet, where the temporal and transient part of your life will blend and transmute into the infinity of Pure Being.
Let your intuition guide you in the construction of your holy place, the place you will come to pray, meditate, contemplate, reflect and receive intuitive impulses from the higher realms. It will be the place where you will make contact and commune with your soul and higher intelligences. After finding the right place to construct your Sacred Cell, in your mind's eye, make your holy place as simple as possible, putting in only what you really need, such as a bed, a chair, a table, a candle, a few books and a small window. The atmosphere that you create within your cell is vital, as its atmosphere will resonate in your mystical heart and consciousness. It will also prepare you for the process that will put you in touch with your spiritual DNA.
Visualize light creating your Sacred Cell. It takes form as you watch, and as you begin to experience the creation of your cell within your being, feel its vibrations blending softly with the light in your aura, energizing your whole being with its blazing light.
Once you have successfully created your Sacred Cell, you can project yourself in this holy place whenever you feel like it. It is a special space within you where you will receive and exchange sacred knowledge and commune with the Masters of Wisdom, each of whom represents a sacred mold, a characteristic type of spiritual DNA. By visiting often this sacred place, you will become a consecrated being, and come to realize that a silent presence resides behind your ego presence — your Perfect Model, the mold that you will, in time, penetrate. The Perfect Mold is also called robe of glory and the body of light.
After you have constructed your Sacred Cell and you feel in harmony in it, move on to exercise 5.

Helping the Helpers - Op Ed, The Herald-Sun and Courier Mail

THE BEST WAYS TO LEND A HAND TO BUSHFIRE RELIEF
The Herald-Sun and Courier Mail, 18 January 2020
Millions of hectares of bush have been burned. Dozens of lives have been lost. Up to a billion mammals, birds, reptiles, bats, frogs and invertebrates may have died. Smoke from Australia's bushfires has reached as far as New Zealand and Chile. Australia's bush capital has recorded the worst air quality in the world.
Amid the tragedy, many of us are looking at how we can help. On the front lines, our volunteer fire fighting services need donations, which will allow them not only to fight this year's fires, but also to be better prepared next season. In affected communities, Red Cross, Vinnies, the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, the Salvos, Foodbank and the Rural Advisory Mental Health program are among those working with families who have lost their homes.
To help injured animals, and to provide sources of food and water to keep native animals alive, the World Wildlife Fund, WIRES, the RSPCA, the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and Adelaide Koala Rescue are among the bodies that are seeking donations.
At the same time, it's important to be on your guard against the scammers. If you're approached online or in person by a charity you don't recognise, take a moment to check their credentials at acnc.gov.au. If they don't check out, they don't deserve your cash. Scammers rely on the high level of trust we feel for Australian charities, but a bit of homework will help you ensure that what you're able to give will reach the people who need it most.
Cash is the most efficient way to assist, but it's also possible to make in-kind donations. The key thing to remember is that people in disaster-hit areas don't need random shipments of bulky goods. Like the container load of woollen jumpers that was once sent as part of an African disaster relief effort, unwanted goods can just get in the way. A much smarter approach is to jump on to the website of GIVIT (givit.org.au), which operates as a matchmaking service, linking up generous donors offering, for instance, a laptop, washing machine or trampoline with charities and needy families.
Another form of in-kind assistance is to open up your home to host someone displaced by the bushfires. If you have a spare bedroom or apartment that's available for two days or more, Airbnb Open Homes (airbnb.com.au/openhomes) is a platform that lets you offer free temporary housing to someone affected by the disaster.
Recovery from disaster plays out on many fronts. Emergency relief charities have been building resilience in threatened communities for times like this and they will be working now with the tired and demoralised victims of the fires.
Our volunteering experts know that recovery works best when communities can be kept together and when those who have been hurt by the fires can share their stories.
Alongside the ABC, community broadcasters have played a critical role in keeping endangered communities informed and up to date with local conditions.
With luck, the intensity of this disaster will start to subside. At that point, we need to keep hearing from the people affected, we need to recognise what they've been through and assist in the recovery. The aftermath of this disaster isn't just measured in lost lives, homes and photo albums. We must recognise that there is also the psychological aftermath. In some cases, new social networks will form from the common bond of shared suffering. In other instances, old networks will need careful rebuilding.
Beyond the physical restoration and emotional recovery process, we all have a responsibility to inform ourselves of the risks for the future and how we collectively can reduce them. Expert environmental advocates play a crucial role in highlighting the risks posed by climate change and how we can mitigate the risks to public health that come with higher temperatures and more volatile weather.
Australia has thousands of extraordinary charities, doing fabulous work in affected communities. Like our heroic firefighters, they've got many months of hard work ahead of them as we work together to extinguish the blazes and rebuild our communities. By pitching in to support a worthy charity, you can make a real difference.
Andrew Leigh is the Shadow Assistant Minister for Charities.

Dock Gallery is proud to announce that we will be representing Zhuang Hong Yi, the Chinese contemporary artist who has impressed audiences in many countries by his unique style in his many pieces of modern art. His works represent beauty, sophistication and a high level of perfection with a clear presence of Chinese influence represented in his use of colors, themes, shapes and materials that touch the heart.
Zhuang Hong Yi was born in 1962, in ShiChuan, China, and lives and works since 1992 in the Netherlands and in China (Beijing). Even after many years of residence in Europe, Zhuang still holds his studio in China, where he returns a couple of times a year to work, collect new materials and to get inspiration.
Zhuang Hong Yi has had solo exhibitions of his works in 9 different countries, in Asia, Europe and North America. We will be showcasing and selling several of Zhuang Hong Yi's works in Dock Gallery. You can also expect a dedicated solo exhibition in our gallery. We will keep you updated.
