Q: Coproduct of $(0,1)$-Algebras I am trying to find the coproduct of $(\mathbb {Z},0,+1) $ with itself in the category of $(0,1) $-Algebras. Finding $\mathbb {N}\sqcup\mathbb {N} $ was easy, since $\mathbb{N} $ is initial. But I don't know how this coproduct looks in general.

A: Coproducts can be computed by means of generators and relations. In this case, it is not hard to see that the coproduct in question is two copies of $\mathbb{Z}$ glued along the non-negative integers, i.e. the algebra whose underlying set is $(\mathbb{Z} \times \{ 0, 1 \}) / \sim$ where $(n, m) \sim (n', m')$ if and only if $n = n'$ and either $m = m'$ or $n \ge 0$, with the distinguished constant being $(0, 0)$ and the operation being $(n, m) \mapsto (n + 1, m)$.

America's Chinatowns
04/10/2014 valmiki1
Dozens of archaeological digs in the 19th-century Chinatowns of the American West are revealing new insights into the immigrant experience. I spoke with dozens of archaeologists to put together this overview of this emerging sub-field of historical archaeology, which includes sections on labor, health, food, women, and culture.

Q: class for this JSON I am hitting an API that returns some JSON as follows:
{"stats":{"X":{"Name":"X","Found":"Yes"}},"response":"OK","runtimeMs":798}

I would like to generate C# classes for it and I used json2sharp, it generated classes such as root object which i modified as follows:
public class RootObject
            {
                public Stats stats { get; set; }
                public string response { get; set; }
                public int runtimeMs { get; set; }
            }

            public class Stats
            {
                public string name { get; set; }
            }

            public class Variant
            {
                public string name { get; set; }
                public string Found { get; set; }
            }

The issue i am facing is that in the class Stats I have used name since the json will reply with any name such as X or Y or Z.
I am able to deserialise the JSON into the root object but cannot get any data into the stats class.
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(response.Content);

Any ideas why i might be doing incorrectly?

A: Your problem is similar to this How can I parse a JSON string that would cause illegal C# identifiers?
So, your model should be
public class Variant
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Found { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public Dictionary<string, Variant> stats { get; set; }
    public string response { get; set; }
    public int runtimeMs { get; set; }
}

EDIT
@evanmcdonnal if use a dictionary as shown in the EZI's answer or an object with fields named X, Y, and Z you have to perform nullity or keyexists checks all over the place in order to safely use the object.
I don't think this simple linq is hard to write
rootObj.stats.Values.Where(....);

or
rootObj.stats.Keys.Select(....);

A: That is happening because json.NET is looking for a property name in your class which matches the field name in the json. Since name does not resemble anything in the json it finds nothing.
There are a couple of options for how to work around this. You can use an annotation to say what the json field you want to put there is, or you can change the name of the property. However, from you post it sounds like you're saying there could be an object called X or an object called Y in the json, neither of those options will make that deserialize correctly in all cases. I'll edit with some ideas for how you may want to handle that.
Based on OP's comment, here's what you're looking for;
        public class RootObject
        {
            public Stats stats { get; set; }
            public string response { get; set; }
            public int runtimeMs { get; set; }
        }

        public class Stats
        {
            public Varient X { get; set; }
            public Varient Y { get; set; }
            public Varient Z { get; set; }
        }

        public class Variant
        {
            public string name { get; set; }
            public string Found { get; set; }
        }

In other places in your code you just have to have two code paths or do a conversion to avoid doing nullity checks everywhere.
if (myInstance.X != null)
   // it was X that was in the json
else if (myInstace.Y != null)
   // it was Y
else
   // not sure what happened, perhaps neither X nor Y were present.

Now the other option is to make this just an intermediary then you define another type that just has one property named name and you give it a constructor that takes a RootObject and assigns whichever value isn't null to it's name property or whatever you want to call it. I would probably do something like this myself because if use a dictionary as shown in the EZI's answer or an object with fields named X, Y, and Z you have to perform nullity or keyexists checks all over the place in order to safely use the object.

West Africa grapples with piracy in Gulf of Guinea hotspot
Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria | January 6, 2020, Monday @ 18:49 in World » GENERAL | By: AFP | Views: 1262
A sailor aboard the French Navy ship "Commandant Birot" stands next to a 12.7 mm gun as the ship leaves the port of Tema ahead of a training exercise in the Gulf of Guinea, off Tema harbour on February 20, 2014 . Grey, sleek, with cannon and an assortment of machine guns, the French navy's Commandant Birot is well-equipped to patrol Africa's most dangerous stretches of ocean. Suspected pirates killed four Nigerian navy operatives and abducted three foreign sailors in an attack on a dredging ship last week, security sources said Monday.(AFP PHOTO / CHRIS STEIN)

(AFP) - A Nigerian navy speedboat loaded with special forces troops skims across the waves towards a suspect vessel in the Gulf of Guinea.
Guns ready, black-clad officers clamber up a rope ladder and fan out across the decks, looking for pirates believed to have taken the crew hostage.
This time the threat is not genuine: the boat is a French naval supply ship and the raid staged as part of an international exercise off West Africa's coast.
But the menace Nigeria -- and countries along the Atlantic shore -- are seeking to tackle is deadly real.
The waters of the Gulf of Guinea, which stretches some 6,000 kilometres from Angola in the south to Senegal in the north, are among the most dangerous in the world for piracy.
While attacks by pirates have declined globally including in other hotspots like the Gulf of Aden off Somalia, the numbers remain steady off West Africa.
In the first nine months of this year the Gulf of Guinea accounted for 82 percent of crew kidnappings around the world, according to the International Maritime Bureau, an organisation monitoring crimes at sea.
In a stark illustration of the problem, 13 sailors were kidnapped in two separate attacks on Norwegian and Greek vessels in the waters of Benin and Togo, west of Nigeria, even as the international exercise was still going on.
Despite the headline-grabbing incident, regional navies like Nigeria's point to a decline in attacks since 2018 and say increased international cooperation, better resources and more assertive patrols are helping.
"It is a challenge but it is not insurmountable," Commodore Sunday Oguntade told AFP, as he monitored the exercise from the frigate NNS Okpabana.
"When the maritime environment is free for illegal activities to thrive it impacts on the economic interests and national interests."
- 'Bad for business' -
Much of the problem originates in the Niger Delta where the region's vast oil wealth has failed to trickle down to local populations and widespread poverty has stirred unrest.
Pirates emerge from the creeks and swamps in high-powered speedboats to raid passing ships, kidnap crews and spirit them back to Nigeria's shores.
"Nigerian piracy currently ranks in the top two security concerns, with the geopolitical crisis in the Straits of Hormuz" between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, said Jakob Larsen, head of maritime security at BIMCO, the world's largest shipping association.
Tactics have shifted over the past decade as a fall in the oil price and tighter regulation has seen criminal gangs switch from stealing cargoes of crude to abducting sailors for ransom.
Regional navies -- including Nigeria's -- have long struggled with underfunding and a lack of resources to police the waters off their shores.
Larsen said Nigerian naval activity is mainly conducted on a payment basis as "public-private partnerships where commercial companies offer the services of navy ships" as protection to visiting ships.
"There is a risk that this reduces the incentive to reduce the piracy threat, as a reduction...would be bad for business," he said.
But steps are being taken to improve.
"The Nigerian government now appears to be strengthening their efforts, investing in new capabilities and amending their legislation to make piracy a punishable offence," he said.
"Things seem to be going in the right direction."
Dirk Steffen, an expert on maritime crime at consultants Risk Intelligence, said the Nigerian navy has made "some notable improvements in its operational readiness and capabilities — from being almost passive to providing constructive support in the fight against piracy".
The starting base was very low and regional forces still remain "small with very limited ability to patrol" their territorial waters and suffer from inadequate funding, training, maintenance and logistical infrastructure, he said.
But numerous exercises with Western navies have brought some progress along with better cross-border cooperation after leaders from the region agreed to bolster the fight against piracy in 2013.
- 'Alternative livelihood' -
One key element could be stepping up the number of pirates brought to justice on land.
Nigeria in June passed its first law specifically making piracy a crime and the justice ministry with support from the United Nations has set up a special prosecution department focused on the issue.
"The aim is to increase prosecutions to combat piracy," principal state counsel Tegah Fofah-King, a member of the new unit, told AFP as she observed the exercise at sea.
Attempts to curb piracy in the Gulf of Guinea have drawn comparisons with the situation on the other side of the continent in the lawless waters off Somalia.
A surge in attacks on vessels along the strategic shipping route saw international navies intervene a decade ago and now attacks have almost stopped.
But there are no moves towards a broader intervention in the Gulf of Guinea.
Analyst Steffen said the region needed an "African solution to an African problem" where foreign partners help with intelligence, logistics and training.
Beyond clamping down on the pirates at sea, observers agree that the long-term solution lies on shore in Nigeria by tackling the corruption, lawlessness and poverty that fuel crime and piracy.
"Law enforcement cannot stand alone," said Larsen from shipping association BIMCO.
"Pirates must be deterred, yes, but they also need to have a viable alternative livelihood when life as a pirate has become less attractive."

WHATEVER YOU GIVE
Libraries still the place to donate food this Christmas
14 December 2019 | Ian Bushnell
Executive Branch Manager Libraries, Vanessa Little; ACT and Surrounds Manager of OzHarvest, Dave Burnet; and MLA Joy Burch MLA with a basket of food bound for people in need this Christmas. Photo: Supplied.
ACT libraries are teaming up with OzHarvest this year to take donations of non-perishable foods to those in need over the holiday season.
The new food drive to support the ACT's most vulnerable members of the community replaces the popular Food for Fines program which ended when the ACT Government abolished library fines last month.
Member for Brindabella Joy Burch launched the food drive and encouraged Canberrans to get involved.
"It has been great to see the community pay their library fines with donations over the years, but when we wiped library fines people told us they still wanted to be able to spread goodwill during the holidays," Ms Burch said.
"Our libraries are partnering with OzHarvest in a food donation drive to support Canberrans in need both during the festive season and throughout the year. By accepting donations at all ACT Libraries branches, it will make it easier and more accessible for people to help out and give where they can.
"The Canberra community are really generous, particularly during the holidays, and in the past we've seen many donations made as simple gestures of giving."
Sealed tins or packets of non-perishable food items can be taken into any Libraries ACT branches, including the ACT Heritage Library, until 31 January 2020. All food will be donated to OzHarvest Canberra.
Donations must be dropped off during opening hours and cannot be donated through library return chutes. Only non-perishable, sealed foods can be accepted. Damaged, broken or out-of-date food items, perishable food, pet food, and non-food items will not be accepted.
Donations will be accepted until 31 January 2020.

Although I permanently reside in Los Angeles, I love adding some fun outerwear to my closet every winter. Thankfully I get to travel to cooler climates pretty often and can incorporate these statement jackets and coats to my outfits while I'm on a different coast. One of my all-time favorite outerwear trends is faux fur. There are so many different styles from pastels to oversized to cropped and more that you can add to your closet to create some cool, edgy looks. Another great thing about faux fur is that you can get some accessories out of it too. I've found some faux fur bags, scarves, and beanies to pack for my winter travels that I really love.
Ahead, I'm sharing some of my favorite faux fur styles and how I pair them with the rest of my wardrobe. Check them out and you can shop the pieces directly from this post!
I've always gravitated towards a lighter color palette, and I love pastel-hued faux fur. Whether it's soft pink or lilac, the different shades add a pop of color to any outfit. I like to pair these with light denim and a white t-shirt or bodysuit. You can dress this look up or down with heels, booties, or sneakers.
Since I'm petite, I need to be weary of oversized items, but I love oversized faux fur. I prefer an oversized fit rather than a style that's extra long because of my height. These are usually a little extra fluffy or come in some edgy patterns and textures that can be fun to mix and match with.
I feel as though cropped jackets are a fashion staple at this point. They allow you to show more of your outfit, while still making a statement with your outerwear. I like a more vibrant color, fun print, or trend-forward option for my cropped jackets.
As I mentioned above, when it comes to faux fur it's not all about jackets and coats—you can find some great accessories too. If you don't want to step out of the house in a fluffy piece, try something like a scarf or a bag instead. If you'd rather have just a small hint of faux fur, you can opt for a smaller accessory such as a pom-pom beanie.

We have been small business owners in the classic car industry since 1996, with cumulative performance vehicle experience for over 30 years.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients.
We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles.
It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs.
We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work.
It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage.
Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts.
Annually, we are heavily involved as donors and participants in The Arthritis Foundation Car Show and The Columbus Zoo's Colo's Classic Car Show.
We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs and much more.

Valeria boasts over 25 years in customer service and office management. She grew up around cars, so when the opportunity to manage a performance shop office presented itself, it seemed like passion and profession meeting in perfect alignment.
She loves the opportunity to be around classic cars every day. And her favorite part is the relationship she creates with our customers. She enjoys the stories they have to tell about their vehicles and loves the feeling she gets when she sees them leave our shop, full of pride, and ready for their next car show.
When she's not busy in our office, she is heavily involved with the Empty Pockets Cruisers to raise money for the military and children's charities. To relax, she spends time gardening and loves all things Halloween!

Penn Study Confirms That "Sniff Test" May Be Useful in Diagnosing Early Alzheimer's Disease
December 21, 2016 | University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Tests that measure the sense of smell may soon become common in neurologists' offices.
Scientists have been finding increasing evidence that the sense of smell declines sharply in the early stages of Alzheimer's, and now a new study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Diseaseconfirms that administering a simple "sniff test" can enhance the accuracy of diagnosing this dreaded disease.
The sniff test also appears to be useful for diagnosing a pre-dementia condition called mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which often progresses to Alzheimer's dementia within a few years.
SEE ALSO: First Human Trial for New Alzheimer's Vaccine Finds the "Achilles' Heel" of Alzheimer's
Neurologists have been eager to find new ways to identify people who are at high risk of Alzheimer's dementia but do not yet show any symptoms. There is a widespread consensus that Alzheimer's medications now under development may not work after dementia has set in.
"There's the exciting possibility here that a decline in the sense of smell can be used to identify people at risk years before they develop dementia," said principal investigator David R. Roalf, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry at Penn.
Roalf and his colleagues used a simple, commercially available test known as the Sniffin' Sticks Odor Identification Test, in which subjects must try to identify 16 different odors. They administered the sniff test, and a standard cognitive test (the Montreal Cognitive Assessment), to 728 elderly people.
The subjects had already been evaluated by doctors at Penn with an array of neurological methods, and according to expert consensus had been placed in one of three categories: "healthy older adult," "mild cognitive impairment," or "Alzheimer's dementia." Roalf and his team used the results from the cognitive test alone, or combined with the sniff test, to see how well they identified subjects in each category.
As researchers report, the sniff test added significantly to diagnostic accuracy when combined with the cognitive test.
For example, the cognitive test alone correctly classified only 75 percent of people with MCI, but that figure rose to 87 percent when the sniff test results were added. Combining the two tests also enabled more accurate identification of healthy older adults and those with Alzheimer's dementia. The combination even boosted accuracy in assigning people to milder or more advanced categories of MCI.
"These results suggest that a simple odor identification test can be a useful supplementary tool for clinically categorizing MCI and Alzheimer's, and even for identifying people who are at the highest risk of worsening," Roalf said.
READ NEXT: What If We Could Treat Alzheimer's Before It Began?
Prompted by prior studies that have linked a weakening sense of smell to Alzheimer's, doctors in a few larger dementia clinics already have begun to use smell tests in their assessments of elderly patients. Part of the reason the practice has not yet become common is that the tests that seem most useful take too long to administer. Roalf and colleagues are now trying to develop a briefer test that works as well as the longer ones.
"We're hoping to shorten the Sniffin' Sticks test, which normally takes 5 to 8 minutes, down to 3 minutes or so, and validate that shorter test's usefulness in diagnosing MCI and dementia -- we think that will encourage more neurology clinics to do this type of screening," Roalf said.
Roalf and his laboratory also plan to investigate whether protein markers of Alzheimer's, which are present in the olfactory region of the brain before dementia occurs, can be detected in nasal fluid to provide an even earlier warning of the disease process.
Studies suggest that a high proportion of older adults who have cognitive impairment are not identified as such, in part due to lack of adequate screening.

Before we get into what does NOT work for Business to Business (B2B) ECommerce Landing Pages, let's go over the basics. B2B Ecommerce is selling products or services between businesses through the internet. A landing page is a standalone web page. It is where your customer or potential client will start their journey on your site. You want to capture their attention as soon as they land on this page.
For successful landing pages, your customer or potential client should know the purpose of your landing page within the first 7 seconds.
Huge Win #1 Offer – The first thing someone sees when they get to your landing page is what you're offering – whether it's a service or product. Make sure you're featuring it.
Huge Win #2 Call to Action – You want to have immediate engagement when someone lands on this page. Whether it's a buy now button, email form, or survey, make it simple and easy with no distractions.
Huge Win #3 Proof- Provide proof to your customer that your products and services are legit with reviews and ratings, notable testimonials, available data and research, and case studies. Put your proof right below your call to action.
Huge Win #4 Trust – Create trust on your landing page with your company branding and logo. Make sure to have a concise business overview on your page. Place notable company names and logos of other clients that you work with on your page. Include any PR inclusions with media and company logos on your page. At the bottom of your landing page, place credit card logos that you accept for trust in your payment acceptance methods.
Huge Win #5 Visuals– Use visual examples to show the product. Use consistent imagery that has been used in Facebook advertisements, google advertisements, anything that drives leads to your page for consistency of branding. Use videos to help increase conversion & credibility. Make sure to focus on a sleek and simple design.
Have questions about any of those things or unsure if you have all the bases covered – please email me at leslie@thesearchguru.com or call my cell directly at 440-463-3871. We'd be happy to help you.
What does NOT work for B2B ECommerce Landing Pages.
Epic Fail #1 No Call To Action Buttons – Call to action buttons are key on any type of landing page to get someone to take an action. The call to action buttons should be relevant and prominent enough to grab someone's attention. For B2B ECommerce, having an interactive call to action button to easily contact your business is essential for helping potential clients and current customers.
Epic Fail #2 Overly Positive – You want to avoid sounding too positive. Avoid the 5 star rating only and show real testimonials with real people and companies. Using video testimonials is the best way to create trust and affirmation. Do not go crazy on the testimonials, limit the testimonials to 3-4 per each page.
Epic Fail #3 Short and Simple Content – B2B Ecommerce should be content-rich and include things like white papers and case studies to create additional value as a thought leader in the industry.

Epic Fail #4 One Call to Action and Purpose – B2B has a longer purchase decision process and buying cycle made by more than one person. Don't limit your site to one call to action button. Use a few call to actions that will generate leads and overall help reach the main goal of the page. Offer a relevant case study or ebook for free if they enter their email to generate leads as a call to action on the page.
Important: you need to keep the major CTA (e.g. the order button) in a more contrasting color (red, orange), while the less important ones (e.g. download catalog) should be in subtle colors (grey, or white with a border).
Epic Fail #5 Boring and Complicated Page – The landing page should be user-friendly with visual aspects, autocomplete features, easily reached tools, and simple navigation. Comparison features and charts and service visualizations are great to utilize in business to business.

Mrs. Wright, Gone Wrong: My Favorite Things!
I'm wiping the drool off of my keyboard after seeing those craft rooms. Oh. My. Goodness!!!!
Thanks so much for the link! I think our shower curtain liner worked well because it has a canvas type of texture to it. It was a lot of fun! I should get some more sidewalk chalk soon... I bet I could find some good deals this time of year.


The Marantz Professional ZP-1 is designed for film and television production audio, and any sound-gathering situation where reliable protection from wind noise is needed.
A synthetic fur cover is included to increase wind noise attenuation up to 50dB. The windscreen has an internal shock mount suspension system to accommodate mics up to 14.5″ long, and can be attached to a boom pole or handheld. Lightweight and durable, this is an essential tool for any field production kit.


There's nothing sweeter than the sound of children playing and laughing — shouts of glee from the trampoline, the "Yesssss!" celebration of a long basketball shot, the giggles and grunts of a backyard wrestling match. To hear a child playing is to stand in awe of our Creator. And these days, my wife, Jean, and I get to hear a lot more of those sounds. Twice as much, to be exact.
Recently, Jean and I welcomed two kids from foster care into our home. The boys are biological brothers and are close in age to our sons, Trent and Troy. We couldn't be more delighted to have these four young boys bouncing around our house. We're a happy (and loud!) bunch these days.
The decision to become foster parents was the culmination of prayer and a lot of discussion for Jean and I. It was also an emotional decision for me. Having spent several years in the foster-care system of California, I feel I have a good understanding of the hopes and fears of kids in foster care. I thought this background would prepare me to be a good mentor to kids from a similar background.
When the boys first visited our house, I was struck with a thought: I had an idea what they were feeling because it was a feeling I'd experienced so many times as a child — that of being a "guest" in a home when I really wanted to be part of a family. As I watched these beautiful boys, I was humbled to know that God had chosen our family to bring comfort and guidance to them, and I wanted to make sure they felt as much a part of our family as possible.
The journey has been a big step of faith. It's unnerving at times, even a little scary. These boys have a past — a past that's not of their own doing and one that Jean and I are walking our way through with the help of the Lord. As I talk with and am inspired by other foster parents through Focus on the Family's Wait No More initiative, I know that Jean and I are not alone in these challenges. But I also know this: If God leads us somewhere, He equips us for that journey. I see this truth demonstrated in other foster families and in our home. He knows the past, and He helps us forge a new path forward.
Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family and host of the Focus on the Family broadcast.
Here are practical suggestions for getting involved in a caring ministry to foster children and families.
Although many children in foster care have special needs, they are in need of a family as much as any waiting child.

Winner-take-all electoral college system is unconstitutional, say suits led by Boies
ABA Journal Feb 22, 2018
A coalition of prominent law firms and professors has filed four federal lawsuits claiming the winner-take-all system of electoral college voting distorts presidential campaigns and violates the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution provides that "electors" choose the president and vice president, while states determine how electors are selected, the suits explain. Forty-eight states and Washington, D.C., have winner-take-all systems for choosing electors in which the political party of the leading candidate selects every elector. The system magnifies votes by those who chose the winner and discards the votes of others.
In Texas, for example, Donald Trump received 52.2 percent of the vote in 2016, yet he received every single electoral vote in the state, according to the suit filed there. Hillary Clinton received 43.2 percent of the Texas vote, but zero electoral votes. The suits are available here.

This project is a very crucial study for the off – shore banks to establish a way of financing in Nigeria. In carrying out this research work I intended to determine the possibility of off – shore banking operation in Nigeria.
Secondly, whether there is enough multinational firms and corporation to carry out the function of off – shore banking unit in Nigeria. Finally, it is possible for the off – shore banking unit in Nigeria and operation to assist the government financially.
It was on this base that I the researcher made the recommendation and conclusion to improve the operational system of off – shore banking unit in Nigeria.
The basic objective situated under this study was the evaluation of the study.
This study is structured into five chapters to make for easy reading and comprehension.
CHAPTER ONE. An over view of the topic. It contains facts about the background of the study, statement of problem, significance of the study, objectives of the study and finally the limitations and scope of thestudy.
CHAPTER TWO. Here is the study of related literature review which used in the course of these study.
CHAPTER THREE. It dealt with research design and methodology. It rayed my sources of data. Location of my data and the method I used in data collection due literature.
CHAPTER FOUR. The summary of my findings.
CHAPTER FIVE. Recommendations and findings. Inview of the findings above it have been made to help us determine whether the off – shore banking unit can help the government. Financially and also to determine the possibility of off – shore banking operation in Nigeria.
1.4. Significance of the study.
1.5. Limitation of the study.
2.1 Review of related literature.
3.3. Method of data collection.
The issue of off – shore banking has to do with those financial activities that aid international trade traction and other business activities that off the shore of the entity. Hence, it include a variety of financing activities like off – shore aids and grants etc.
However, it has something in connection with financing activities that is geared towards the raising of funds for financing corporation operation outside the location or the shore of the country. Wherefore, the issue of development project and has made a serious challenge to Nigerian banks and other developing countries as a problem to the U.S investment ( capital market) mostly due to lack of foreign exchange and off – shore funds to execute her development project.
Effort has be made by Nigerian government and developing countries to borrow from some of these international financial institutions including the world bank but the anticipated or excepted result has not been reached.
History made us understand, that Nigerian government effort can be traced back to the year 1988 which borrowed from world bank for the construction of the railway extension to borrow under the guarantee of the united kingdom government. Despite the size of Nigeria as a whole, she still has a problem of foreign exchange to execute her major project. Hence, the size of a country does not stand but her or the closeness to the euro – market is what should be considered important. For example, Bahamas and Caymans they are very small in size but because of their proximity to the united state investment market, they were to realize a large sum of off – shore fund for their economic development.
It is necessary to note at this junction that European residents and corporations have no problems of foreign exchange for the development of their economy knowing most of the investment made her in the buoyant American economy. However, united kingdom is known to be at the center of euro – currency and has a long tradition of being the main center of traditional finance. Also, another problem facing Nigeria is how to finance her faulty oil refinery which is due to lack of off – shore funds for the project. It is this respect that the provision of off – shore funds in necessary.
Moreover, the term off – shore fund can also refer to a financial institution which is physically located in a country which provide financial services like deposit and loans to foreign residents, corporations, and institutions of the utter exclusion of the country residents, corporation and institutions. Also, it can be referred to as the operation of a financial institution which has little connection with that countries financial system. OYEGBA O (2002).
To start with, one of the problems of the issue of off – shore banking is the problem of foreign exchange or off – shore funds to execute her various project. Hence, having this deficiency the country should bear in mind that the proximity or closeness to euro – market is what really matter, hence should press on how to achieve that. Another, this is the connectivity to the center of euro – currency which the United Kingdom.
Finally, the problem of management is also one of the problem facing those country and that is where the research to yet is directed towards.
This research is objective towards the following.
1. To examine critically the possibility off – shore banking unit attracting deposit from foreign residents for our issue in another country.
2. Another objectives of off – shore banking unit is to help European not only to serve but also to invest in American companies. This attracting euro – dollar to American country.
3. The off – shore banking unit also assist in collecting information about American companies and their stock prices, volume of trade turnover profit and dividend and further assist them through procedure of buying shires.
4. finally, the off – shore banking unit established the euro – dollar services in brussol to cope with the problems associated with physical shipment of securities, the risk of paying for a surrending stock and bond transfers.
One of the significance of the off - shore banking is the provision of advisory and management services rendered for foreign residents as well as their customers through their investment. Management division. It is of prime importance that any developing countries wishing to establish off – shore banking unit should abstract herself with such information network. This is an asset and should be acquired.
Off – shore banking unit as well borrow from any foreign banks, financial institution including from foreign office of the home government. It can also borrow from the parent bank through it has take into account its euro – dollar research liability and the minimum borrowing period of which in case of united state is over night.
Off – shore banking units do lend to foreign residents the foreign officials of the home countries corporations and the offices in foreign countries or to the parents banks. As with deposit, the funds involved must have to do with international or non – home business. In the case of the U.S the foreign affiliates of a company cannot borrow from an off – shore banking unit to finance its parents banks, the parent bank has to put up to 3% reserve requirement on its net euro – currency liabilities OBTOMA (1995).

We picked lettuce, roccolla, coriander, papaya, micro greens and sprouts.
We started sorting out the irrigation for the tree/vegetable beds in Le Jardin. We are hoping that there will be some way for the trees and vegetables to share the water.
We created a bed between the trees in the newest New Horizon orchard.

Q: User Login (If statement trouble) I have successfully made a login screen and database table for users, all working apart from: When admin is logged in, he is transferred to Admins UI, every one else should be transferred to client UI.
   In my case all users go to Admins UI.
       Would appreciate any help.

A: Put a breakpoint on the if statement. Then run the project in debug mode. When it stops at the breakpoint, you can press F8 to step through the code. This way you can see if the program behaves as expected. You can also hover the mouse over a variable to see its value (unless the variable is a object, then it will show a reference).
