Working with American Exporters to venture into this market by offering insight and brokering instruments to minimize risk, secure working capital guarantee, receivables insuarance and medium to long term loan guarantees.
In simple terms, Trade Finance refers to financing of international trading transactions. In this financing arrangement, the bank or other institution of the importer arranges for paying for the goods on behalf of the importer. The importer's bank assists by issuing a letter of credit to the exporter's bank which guarantees payment for goods upon presentation of certain documents such as a bill of lading. At InteGrowCapital, we go beyond this arrangement. In cases where the importer's local banks move slow and fail to address needs, we work with our network of funders to find reasonable solutions beyond the borders. Whether it is earth-moving equipment, machinery, Aeroplanes, raw materials, Software and Hardware, food-stuff etc, we are ready to talk to you. We have qualified personnel to help you throughout the process.
InteGrow Capital Group (ICG) is an advisory and consulting company which provides growth companies with strategic advice and structured financing solutions. We are headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA with footprints in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The current USA government Administration has reiterated their commitment to the social economic development of Africa. They have declared the sub-Saharan Africa region as an area of significant importance in terms of US direct investment. To stimulate such foreign investment and exports to the sub-Saharan Africa region, the government offers guarantees to the USA banks that extend loan facilities to the foreign buyers. The result is minimized risk to the lenders, which translates to very competitive borrowing rates for the foreign buyers.
By having presence in the USA, InteGrow Capital is strategically positioned to help African businesses to take advantage of these facilities. Our biggest asset is our team members, who are not only experienced in handling these kinds of transactions but are also ready to go out there and clear the landmines for you. Our goal is to unlock the capital constraints, in the process helping African Companies unleash their intrinsic values to the maximum potential. We open the doors so that lack of local funding should no longer be a limiting factor for companies to realize their strategic plans.
InteGrow Capital works with US Exporters, Commercial Banks and Lenders to facilitate the purchase of US raw materials, equipment/machinery, expertise, inventory, goods and services for export. For those sub-Saharan businesses that have been shelving expansion projects because of high costs of equipment or prohibitive interest rates, the opportunity is at the door-step now. To date, many businesses in the region have already taken advantages of these low rate facilities.

This process is usually suitable for large scale projects such as (but not limited to) hydro-electric power plants and oil and gas pipelines. This process involves the creating of a legally-independent project company that is financed with non-recourse debt and equity from one or more sponsoring entities for the purpose of financing investment in a single-purpose capital asset, usually with a limited life, that will generate predictable cash flows to repay the debt.
InteGrow Capital Group makes sure you concentrate on running your core business while helping you structuring such processes which can sometimes be complicated and time consuming.

Maitland Hyslop was born on 11th December 1802 in Stoneykirk parish in Wigtownshire. His parents were Andrew Hyslop, who earned his living as a Carrier, and Janat McMickan, both of whom had been born in around 1780 and were married in the parish of Stoneykirk on 21st November 1802.
STONEYKIRK, a parish, in the county of Wigton, 5 miles (S. S. E.) from Stranraer; containing, with the fishing-port of Sandhead and the village of Stoneykirk, 3062 inhabitants, of whom 56 are in the village. This place, the old name of which, properly Stephenkirk, and derived from the dedication of the principal church, has given way to the present appellation, of which the origin is unknown, consists of the three ancient parishes of Stoneykirk, Clayshank, and Toscarton, united about the time of the Reformation.
The parish is bounded on the east by the bay of Luce, and on the west by the Irish Channel, and is nearly ten miles in length and three miles and a half in average breadth, comprising about 21,500 acres, of which 19,000 are arable, 375 woodland and plantations, and the remainder, whereof 1100 might be reclaimed, moorland and waste. The west coast is bold and rocky, towards the north in some places precipitous, but less elevated towards the south; it is indented on that side with several small bays, giving shelter to vessels employed in the fisheries. The eastern coast is more level, and towards the north the shore for a considerable extent is sand, which is dry at low water; the principal bays are Sandhead and Chapel-Rosan. The plantations consist of firs of various kinds, interspersed with the usual sorts of forest-trees, and are all in a thriving state: there are also still considerable remains of natural wood, chiefly ash, birch, and elm, of which there are many fine specimens. Balgreggan, the seat of Patrick Maitland, Esq., a handsome mansion beautifully situated in a richly-wooded demesne; Kildrochat, the residence of the late Countess of Rothes; and Ardwell, the seat of Sir John Mc Taggart, M.P., are the principal houses.
The population of the parish at the time of Maitland Hyslop's birth was less than 1,900.
Maitland was the first child of Andrew Hyslop and Janat McMickan and there is much speculation amongst his descendants regarding the origin of his forename. Chief among the theories is that the forename Maitland was adopted as a mark of respect for the family who owned the Balgreggan Estate which would have been a significant employer in Stoneykirk parish in those times and may even have employed Andrew at the time of Maitland's birth. Image 1 shows a photograph of Balgreggan House taken around 1912. The house was demolished in 1966.
On 27th November 1825, Maitland Hyslop, now almost 23, married 22-year-old Jane Smith in the parish of New Abbey in Kirkcudbrightshire. Jane was the daughter of Shepherd David Smith and Elizabeth Green and had been born in the parish of Carlaverock, Dumfriesshire in around 1803.
Still in the south-west of Scotland, the stewarty of Kirkcudbright lay to the east of Wigtownshire. The parish of New Abbey would have been about 70 miles from Stoneykirk where Maitland had been born.
NEW ABBEY, a parish, in the stewartry of Kirkcudbright; containing 1049 inhabitants, of whom 330 are in the village, 7 miles (S. by W.) from Dumfries. This place, anciently called Kirkindar from the situation of the old church on an island in Loch Kindar, derived its present name from the foundation of an abbey which, in contradistinction to that of Dundrennan, was styled the New Abbey.
On 22nd October 1826, Maitland and Jane Hyslop's first child Samuel was born in the parish of Troqueer in Kirkcudbrightshire. It is not at all clear where the forename Samuel would have originated. On 27th January 1828, also in Troqueer, Andrew Hyslop was born, named after his paternal grandfather.
The parish of Troqueer lay at the eastern side of Kirkcudbrightshire and adjacent to and just to the north of New Abbey parish.
John Hyslop was born on 15th March 1830 in Dinwoodiehill-Head, in the parish of Applegarth, in Dumfriesshire.
Maitland Hyslop was born on 26th May 1832 in the parish of Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire which was located just to the south of Troqueer.
David Hyslop was born about 1833 probably in Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire. He died in infancy and certainly before 1841. No birth record has been found for David and his existence is known only from his inclusion in the death record of his mother Jane Smith. His birthplace is assumed to be Kirkbean based on the fact that both his preceding and succeeding siblings were born there.
Thomas Hyslop was born on 11th July 1834 in Nimbelly, parish of Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire. Image 2 shows a map (circa 1860) in which a dwelling marked 'Nimbly' is evident. It is likely that this was where Thomas was born. Nimbly was situated just to the north of the village of Kirkbean.
The village of Kirkbean stands on the estuary of the Nith, in a beautifully-rural valley, and consists of pleasing cottages kept in the neatest order, and surrounded by thriving plantations; there is a post daily to Dumfries, and facility of communication is afforded by the turnpike-road to Dumfries, which passes through the parish. At Saturness, on the coast, are several small cottages, which, during the season, are inhabited by respectable families for the purpose of sea-bathing; and at Preston-Farm there was anciently situated a village which possessed the various rights and privileges of a burgh of regality, and of which the ancient cross is still remaining. At Carsethorn, also a bathing-village, steam-packets touch twice a week, in their passage from Dumfries to White-haven and Liverpool; and vessels anchor safely in its bay when they cannot proceed so far as the harbour of Dumfries.
James Hyslop was born on 10th October 1836 in New Abbey, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Elizabeth Hyslop was born on 18th April, 1839 in Cargen Bridge, Troqueer, Kirkcudbrightshire. Cargen Bridge is shown on the map in Image 3 and lay just over a mile to the southwest of Dumfries Town which was by some way the largest town in the southwest of Scotland.
At the 1841 Census (7th June), Maitland Hyslop, age stated as 38, is found residing in the Parish of Morton at Drum Farm and Cottages. His occupation was recorded as Horse Trainer. Residing with him were his wife, recorded as Jean Smith and age recorded as 31, John (10), Maitland (8), Thomas (6), James (4) and Elizabeth (2).
Drum Farm and Drum Cottages can be seen marked on the 1856 map in Image 4. The location is also marked on a modern Ordnance Survey map. It lies just to the west of the Glasgow and Southwestern railway line and to the east of the A702 and the River Nith. The village of Thornhill is just to the south. The railway was later to be named the London Midland Scottish Railway.
Meanwhile eldest son Samuel was working as an Agricultural Labourer at Stepend Farm in the parish of Buittle in Kirkcudbrightshire. Second son Andrew has not been located at this time.
David Hyslop was born about 1843 in Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire. Jane Hyslop was born in about 1847 also in Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire. Jane was the second daughter and the last child of Maitland and Jean.
On 18th June 1847, Andrew Hyslop, second son of Maitland and Jean married Margaret Moffat in the parish of Holywood in Dumfrieshire.
In June 1850, Samuel Hyslop, eldest son of Maitland Hyslop and Jean Smith, married Mary Creighton, daughter of Farmer William Creighton and Jane Carlyle at Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire.
At the Census of 1851 (31st March), the Hyslop family is now residing in the village of Pathhead in the parish of New Cumnock, Ayrshire. Maitland is recorded as aged 45 and was employed as a Carter. His wife Jane was recorded as 41 years old. Their children residing with them were Elizabeth (10), David (8) and Jane (4). Pathhead is shown on the map in Image 5. It lay at the southern end of Ayrshire near the boundary with Dumfriesshire and was close to the source of the River Nith which is also shown on the map.
Pathhead today is probably not much bigger than it was when Maitland and his family lived and worked there although clearly the buildings would have been replaced.
Samuel Hyslop, employed as a Farm Labourer, and his wife Mary were residing at this time at Dinwoodie Green in Applegarth and Sibbaldbie, Dumfriesshire with their 7-month-old daughter Jane. Andrew's wife Margaret was residing with their two small children John (3) and Mary (1) at Gateside Farm in Holywood, Dumfriesshire. Andrew has not been located at this time.
John Hyslop was employed as a Farm Labourer at Horsecleugh Farm in Old Cumnock in Ayrshire. This was situated just 4 miles to the north west of Pathhead where his parents were residing.
Young Maitland Hyslop, we believe, was residing at 127 North Drumlanrig Street in Thornhill, Morton, Dumfriesshire. He was employed as a Carter's Servant. His birthplace was recorded as Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire, whereas we know it was in fact, Kirkbean in Kirkcudbrightshire. We suspect that his residence until recently had been Sanquhar, where his youngest two siblings David and Jane had been born, and this may have led to confusion in the recording.
Thomas and James are unaccounted for at the 1851 Census. In fact, we have been unable to locate James subsequent to the 1841 Census.
On 10th December 1852, John Hyslop, third son of Maitland and Jean, married Catherine Pauline, daughter of James Pauline and Margaret Raine, at Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire.
On 14th April 1855 Jane Smith died of Consumption at Riccarton in the Burgh of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire. Consumption is an older term for Tuberculosis (TB) which is a potentially fatal contagious disease that can affect almost any part of the body but is mainly an infection of the lungs. It is caused by a bacterial microorganism, the tubercle bacillus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although TB can be treated, cured, and can be prevented if persons at risk take certain drugs, scientists have never come close to wiping it out. Few diseases have caused so much distressing illness for centuries and claimed so many lives. Maitland Hyslop reported his wife's death and gave his occupation as Carter. He also reported Jane's age to be 52, which was inconsistent with the ages stated at the previous two censuses. The death record indicates that they had been residing in the parish of Riccarton for the previous 3 years. It was further stated that 9 of Jane's 10 children were still living Samuel (30), Andrew (29), John (28), Maitland (24), David (dead), Thomas (21) James (20), Elizabeth (18), David (14) and Jane (7). Image 6 shows Maitland's signature at the time he reported her death.
Less than 6 months later, 21 year old Thomas Hyslop, died on 6th October, also at Riccarton, Ayrshire. The cause of death was reported as "Injuries caused by a kick from a horse in the abdomen after which he lingered 5 days." Maitland reported his son's death.
On 4th April, 1856 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Maitland Hyslop, fourth son of Maitland and Jean, married Elizabeth McCreadie, daughter of James McCreadie and Elizabeth Carlisle.
On 22nd May, 1857, 14-year-old David Hyslop died of Dropsy at Boreland, Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire. His brother John reported the death. Dropsy, technically known as oedema, refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluids in the body. It causes a type of swelling called oedema. It is a typical 'impurities' disease caused by an accumulation of waste products in the blood. This swelling may be localized, as with ascites (the distended abdomen that develops in cases of liver disease and some types of cancer), or generalized, occurring throughout the body, as with progressive kidney failure. It is a feature of many diseases, specially those relating to heart and kidneys.
It is likely that following his mother's death in 1855, young David went to live with his older brother in the Parish of Girthon.
At the time of the 1861 Census (8th April), widower Maitland Hyslop was residing back in Kirkcudbrightshire in the parish of Colvend. His age was stated to be 60 and he was employed as a Horse Breaker residing at a place called 'Torrs'.
At the same time, Farm Servant Samuel Hyslop and his wife Mary and their 5 young children were residing at the farm Mains of Craigs in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire.
Ploughman Andrew Hyslop, his wife Margaret and their 3 young children were residing at Tile West House, Riccarton, Ayrshire.
Ploughman John Hyslop, his wife Catherine and their 3 young children were residing at Mines House, Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire.
Maitland Hyslop, fourth son of Maitland and Jean, was residing at Glen of Spottes, parish of Urr, Kirkcudbrightshire. He was employed as a Horse Breaker. His wife Elizabeth was residing with their 3 young children at Kellieston, Dunscore, Dumfriesshire.
Elizabeth Hyslop was residing at 5 Cross Row, Eglinton Iron Works, near Kilwinning in Ayrshire. Elizabeth was aged 22, and was recorded as a 'married' Agricultural Labourer. She was boarding with a widow, Charlotte Money and her 12 year old daughter. Residing with her was her daughter Margaret Hyslop. Living nearby was Margaret's father Thomas Kelly (Kellay) at 59 Single Row, Eglinton Iron Works.
Jane Hyslop, who would have been about 8 years old when her mother died, we suspect was working as a Dairymaid at High Kelton, Dumfries St. Michael, Dumfriesshire. Her birthplace was stated to be Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire although her age was recorded as 18, whereas we know she would only be around 14.
On 9th June, 1865, Jane Hyslop married Samuel Thom in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire. He was the son of farmer William Thom and his wife Janet.
On 15th October 1867 at Ivy Lodge in the town of Dumfries, widower Maitland Hyslop, now a Labourer and stated to be 60 years old, married 50-year-old widow Janet Byers. Both were residing at Queensberry Square in Dumfries. Janet, born in Lochrutton, Kirkcudbrightshire, was the widow of General Labourer Francis McEwen (McEwn, McKune) who had died in 1860 in Dumfries Workhouse for Paupers of a Cancerous Tumour of the Liver. At the time of the 1861 Census (8th April), Janet had been residing in the same workhouse with her 4-year-old son William McEwen.
At the time of the 1871 Census (3rd April), Maitland and Janet Hyslop were residing at Jocklig Cottage in Colvend, Kirkcudbrightshire. Maitland was recorded as 66 years old and employed as an Agricultural Labourer, while Janet was recorded as 46.
At the same time, Agricultural Labourer Samuel Hyslop and his wife Mary and their 3 youngest children were residing at Byres Farm in Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire.
Agricultural Labourer Andrew Hyslop, his wife Margaret and 3 of their young children were residing at Bleachfield, Dalton, Dumfriesshire.
Agricultural Labourer John Hyslop, his wife Catherine and their 5 young children were residing at Mines House, Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire.
Horse Breaker Maitland Hyslop, his wife Elizabeth and their 5 children were residing at 1 Mill Road, Maxwelltown, Troqueer, Kirkcudbrightshire.
Elizabeth Hyslop was residing at 44 Wemyss Row, Overtown, Wishaw, Lanarkshire with Coal Miner Thomas Kelly and their 5 young children. She was recorded as Elizabeth Kelly, although we know that she and Thomas were not yet married.
Jane and Samuel Thom were residing at 121 High Street in Dumfries with their 3 young children.
It was while they resided at Overtown that Thomas Kelly and Elizabeth Hyslop finally tied the knot and married at Cambusnethan Manse, Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire on 15th July, 1873.
On 23rd July, 1873, at Dumfries Royal Infirmary, Maitland Hyslop died of Erysipelas of Head from which he had been suffering for 10 days. Erysipelas is a skin infection that often follows strep throat. Also called St. Anthony's fire, it is caused by infection by Group A Streptococci. This same type of bacteria is responsible for infections of both surgical and other kinds of wounds in the skin. The infection occurs most often in young infants and the elderly. Maitland's death was reported by the House Surgeon who was unable to provide details of his parents, although his age was stated to be 72. Image 9 shows an 1856 map indicating the location of Dumfries Royal Infirmary - just south of the main town of Dumfries and on the eastern bank of the River Nith.
In 1875 Samuel Thom died in Dumfries leaving his wife with 3 young children. In around 1877, Jane had another child, named John Hyslop to an unknown father. In 1879 Jane Hyslop married for a second time - this time to Englishman Nicholas Lennon.
At the time of the 1881 Census (4th April), Maitland Hyslop's widow Janet Byers was residing alone at Kirkhouse in the parish of Kirkgunzeon, Kirkcudbrightshire. She was employed as an Agricultural Labourer.
At the same time, Farmer of 142 Acres Samuel Hyslop and his wife Mary and their 3 youngest children and two grandchildren were residing at Barclay Farm in Colvend and Southwick, Kirkcudbrightshire.
Farm Servant Andrew Hyslop, his wife Margaret and their 4 youngest children were residing at Plumbland, Cumberland in England.
Farm Servant Agricultural Labourer John Hyslop, his wife Catherine and 2 children were residing at Netherhall Cot-House, Balmaghie, Kirkcudbrightshire.
'Young' Maitland Hyslop, still employed as a Horse Breaker was working and residing at Gareslack, Durrisdeer, Dumfriesshire. He was stated as "Servant by Week" clearly on a short term employment arrangement with the farmer. His wife Elizabeth was residing with their 4 youngest children at Side Bar, Holywood, Dumfriesshire.
Elizabeth and Thomas Kelly were residing at Dunsmore's Square in the Hamilton District, Lanarkshire with their 8 children. We have established that this was located in Motherwell although it does not appear on any map that we know of.
Jane and Nicholas Lennon were residing at 25 English Street in Dumfries with 5 children, 3 of whom she had with Samuel Thom, one with Nicholas and one with a person unknown. Jane was employed as a Weaver in a Woollen Factory. Nicholas was a Coachbuilder's Viceman.
On 14th April 1887, Jane Lennon died of a Cerebral Abscess at Dumfries Infirmary where her father Maitland had died some 14 years earlier. Her age was recorded as 41. She died on the 32nd anniversary of her mother, Jane Smith's death. Her widower Nicholas reported her death.
At the time of the 1891 Census (5th April), Maitland Hyslop's widow Janet Byers, now aged 67, was residing alone at Drum Coultren Cot in the parish of Kirkgunzeon, Kirkcudbrightshire. Her occupation was recorded as Outdoor Worker.
At the same time, Farmer Samuel Hyslop and his wife Mary and their 3 grandchildren were still residing at Barclay Farm in Colvend, Kirkcudbrightshire.
Andrew Hyslop was residing at Elland With Greetland, Yorkshire, England with his new wife Ann. His first wife Margaret Moffat had died and he married Ann Troughear in around February 1882 in Longtown, Cumberland, England.
62-year-old Farmer John Hyslop and his wife Catherine were residing at Torwilkie Farm, Balmaclennan, Kirkcudbrightshire. Also resident were their daughter Elizabeth Hyslop and her 2-year-old son Robert.

an installation for the safe and efficient traffic of vehicles of rated speeds and weights. The development of motor transportation in the late 19th century made it necessary to create efficient roads for vehicle traffic. As long as the speed of the traffic remained low, it was possible to use ordinary roads, with measures for reducing dust and preserving the road surface from rapid wear. The growth of traffic and of the speed and weight of the vehicles called for capital reconstruction of the roads such as widening the driving part, eliminating steep grades, increasing the radius of the curve and using dust-free and durable road surfacing. After World War I roads designed for motor vehicle traffic alone began to be built in all countries. (They were called au-toroutes in France, motorways in Britain, autostradas in Italy, highways in the USA, etc.)
In the USSR there are five technical categories of highways, depending on the relation of the highway to the country's total transportation system and on the estimated traffic (the average annual number of automobiles that are expected to travel on the highway 20 years later in both directions in one day). The higher the estimated traffic, the higher the category of the road and its technical characteristics, above all the estimated speed (150 km an hour for the first category, 60 km an hour for the fifth category). The estimated speed is the maximum safe speed of a single passenger car. Table 1 presents the technical classification of highways in the USSR.
The main elements of a highway are shown in profile in Figure 1: the distance a between the brows b,conventionally called the earth bed; the driving part c; the shoulders d for short stops; the reserves e,which provide the earth for building the bed; the edges f, the part of the road for pedestrian and bicycle paths, plantings, communication lines, road buildings, transportation installations, and the like. The driving part is covered with a wearing surface. The wearing surface g,built of durable materials, absorbs the shock from the wheels of the automobiles. The wearing surface must be even, have a rough finish, and ensure good adhesion of the wheels of the automobiles. The base h, the carrying layer of the highway dressing, absorbs the estimated weight of the automobiles. An additional layer of the foundation i has various purposes (such as drainage and the prevention of freezing). To make the border of the driving part more visible and to strengthen the edges of the cover, edge-bands j of a different color from the cover are built.
If a highway crosses bodies of water (such as rivers and brooks), ravines, or other roads, additional installations are built, such as bridges, tunnels, viaducts, and traffic intersections.
The rapid growth of motor transportation has increased the passenger and commercial traffic on highways. This increase has necessitated special measures to ensure the safety and regularity of the traffic and to cater to the needs of travellers. Road signs and indicators are installed on the brows of the highway or hung over the driving part, sharp curves are sloped toward the center of the curve, fences are built along the road, the driving part is marked off, lighting is installed, and so on. Automobile terminals and pavilions, filling and technical service stations, motels, camping grounds, and the like are built for passengers and drivers. Truck stations, warehouses, division point facilities, garages, and the like are built for commercial traffic.
One of the most important performance characteristics of the highway is its traffic capacity—that is, the maximum number of automobiles that can travel, without causing a traffic jam, on a given section of the highway in a given span of time, for instance, in one hour. The magnitude of the traffic capacity depends on the width and number of the lanes, the radius of the curves, the gradient, the type of

vehicles, the traffic speed, and the weather. The maximum traffic capacity of a two-lane highway 7–7.5 m wide under favorable road conditions (dry surface, open, straight, and level section without buildings and without crossings at grade; etc.) is about 2,000 passenger cars an hour or about 20,000 a day. Commercial traffic greatly lowers the traffic capacity. If 70–80 percent of the vehicles on a highway are trucks, the traffic capacity of a 7–7.5–m-wide two-lane highway is 8,000–9,000 motor vehicles a day. If the actual traffic on the highway exceeds its traffic capacity, there are traffic jams and the performance indexes of the highway drop sharply.

In the USSR modern machines, continuous production methods, and integrated mechanization are used in the construction of highways. Bulldozers, scrapers, mechanized graders, and the like are widely used in building the earth bed. Some construction components of highways are built at specially equipped construction sites and plants. Automatic mixing installations prepare asphalt and cement-concrete mixes. The building of improved highway surfaces and foundations is completely mechanized.
Highway repair and maintenance services ensure continuous usage, and the State Automobile Inspection Service ensures regularity and safety. The main trends in technological progress in highway construction are improving the transportation and performance qualities of highway surfaces and the length of their service, introducing more advanced technology into construction, and making the fulfillment of construction work less dependent on climate.

The construction of highways all over the world was caused by the rapid growth of the number of automobiles. Although there were not more than 25,000 km of operating roads of general use in 1913, the highway network amounted to more than 18 million km in 1965 (see Table 2). Table 3 shows the distribution of highways in different parts of the world in 1965 (without the USSR and the other socialist countries). In 1964 the density of the highway network was 24 km per 100 sq km of inhabited territory in the world as a whole; in the capitalist and developing countries this figure is 30 km (9.7 km in underdeveloped countries alone), and for the socialist countries, 11.0 km (9.6 km in the USSR). The same indexes per 10,000 population are as follows: 56 km for the world as a whole; 72 km for the capitalist and developing countries, including 23 km for the underdeveloped countries; and 24 km for the socialist countries, including 59 km for the USSR.

USSR highways In the USSR, highways are built with consideration of communities, railroads, water and air transportation routes, and pipelines. The following categories of highways are set up according to the national economic significance and the nature of the settlements they serve: all-Union highways provide interrepublic transportation and connect capitals of Union republics with each other and with the major economic centers; they also serve international transportation lines, airports, and health resorts of all-Union significance. Republic highways provide transportation between oblasts and connect republic and oblast centers with each other and with major economic centers of oblasts; they connect with railroad stations and harbors and provide access to all-Union highways. Oblast highways provide transportation between oblasts

and connect oblast centers with cities and raion centers, and also connect important industrial and agricultural centers with republic highways, railroad stations, and harbors. Local highways provide transportation between ra-ions and connect raion centers with each other and with outlying settlements, sovkhozes and kolkhozes. Department highways are under the jurisdiction of individual ministries (such as forestry, oil extraction, and ferrous metallurgy).
Highways that provide long-distance transportation between economically or militarily important regions and centers or that ensure rapid mass traffic are called superhighways.
Highway construction is financed by state capital investments and deductions from profits of motor transportation enterprises; local highways are built with the participation of industrial, agricultural, and other economic enterprises and kolkhozes. There was a great development of highway construction during the prewar five-year plans. In that period old highways were rebuilt and new ones built. The total length of hard-surface roads quadrupled from 1913 to 1940. In the postwar years large-scale work has been done on restoring and repairing highways and on building many roads with improved surfaces and big transit superhighways for regular long-distance commercial and passenger traffic. The length of hard-surface highways trebled from 1940 to 1966 and reached 456,000 km by the end of 1968. In the same period the length of highways with improved surfacing increased more than 20 times to 145,000 km. The major highways are marked with route numbers for the convenience of the drivers and for traffic safety.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHOICES - YOUR REAL CHOICES – when it comes to resolving your dispute? It seems like there are only two – either to litigate until a jury verdict is reached or to mediate to see if an agreement can be reached. Both options have the potential to resolve the conflict – to put an end to your dispute. So which choice is better for you?
Litigation is generally a slow, costly, and time-consuming process. A trial can last several days or even several weeks depending on the complexity of the issues and the number of witnesses. Mediation is certainly less expensive and generally takes only a few hours, perhaps a day at the most. If successful, then both parties can walk away, hopefully happy with the choice they made.
"We must move away from the total reliance on the adversary contest for resolving all disputes. For some disputes, trials will be the only means, but for many, trials by the adversary contest must in time go the way of the ancient trial by battle and blood. Our system is too costly, too painful, too destructive, too inefficient for a truly civilized people. To rely on the adversary process as the principal means of resolving conflicting claims is a mistake that must be corrected."
In 1987, three years after Chief Justice Burger's speech, the Texas Legislature passed what is known as The Texas Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures Act (ADR) and in doing so, formally endorsed the use of several "alternatives" to trial for resolution of conflict. The Texas Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedures Act is found in Chapter 154 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code. It specifically states that it is the policy of this State to encourage the peaceable resolution of disputes and the early settlement of pending litigation through voluntary settlement procedures.
The Act provides that a court may, on its own motion, or on the motion of either party, refer a pending lawsuit to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The statute also specifically states that special consideration should be given to disputes involving the parent-child relationship, including the mediation of issues involving conservatorship, possession, and support of children.
The four goals of ADR are: (1) to increase party participation in, and satisfaction with, the judicial system; (2) to provide an alternate forum for readily accessible, fair, and appropriate means to resolve disputes; (3) to reduce the time and costs of litigation; and (4) to ease the court's heavy docket.
Of the five forms of ADR listed above, mediation and arbitration are the most commonly used. What's the difference? Basically, in arbitration you ask for a decision or "award" from an arbitrator and in mediation you try to reach a settlement agreement with your opponent. Mediators and arbitrators are often referred to as " neutral third parties" or simply "neutrals" because they must remain neutral and cannot choose sides.
ADR Options: Should You ask for a "decision" or try to reach an "agreement"?
ARBITRATION, like trial, is a much more formal process than mediation. In arbitration, the parties present all or a portion of their dispute to the arbitrator and ask for a decision. They present evidence in the form of documents and witness testimony to the arbitrator. At the end of the process, the arbitrator's job is to review and weigh the evidence, much like a judge would do, and when he is ready, he will decide who should win and will issue his final decision (or "award"). Simply stated, in arbitration the third party neutral – the arbitrator – decides the outcome.
MEDIATION is a far less formal procedure than arbitration. In mediation, the parties meet at the mediator's office to "discuss" their dispute and try to reach an agreement. The mediator establishes and enforces procedures which are fair to both parties and which do not favor one side over the other. Both sides will have an opportunity to be heard, and everyone will speak their mind. Sometimes, emotions may also be vented. It is common for issues which were preventing an earlier resolution to be identified and openly discussed. Unlike arbitration, the mediator's job is not to make a decision as to the outcome, but to encourage and assist the parties in reaching their own settlement of their own dispute.
A mediator may not compel or coerce the parties to enter into a settlement agreement and may not impose his own judgment on the issues for that of the parties. In other words, the parties have control over the outcome, and whether or nor not an agreement is reached, is up to the parties – not the mediator. It is a testament to the process that many, many cases settle at mediation.
So, what's right for you? While mediation might not resolve every dispute, it has a solid track record and is a good first step toward conflict resolution. It also produces faster results and is less costly than its more adversarial alternatives.
An important provision of the Texas ADR Act is section 154.073 which establishes the confidentiality of communications between ADR participants, both before and after initiation of a suit. Such communications are not subject to disclosure, and may not be used as evidence against the participant in any judicial or administrative proceeding unless it is discoverable independent of the ADR procedure.
Oral communications or written materials that are otherwise admissible or discoverable, however, do not become inadmissible or non-discoverable simply by reason of their use in an ADR procedure. Neither the participants nor the third-party neutral can be required to testify, nor are they subject to process requiring disclosure of confidential information. The third party neutral may not disclose to either party information given in confidence by the other unless expressly authorized to do so. Also, if there is some other legal requirement for disclosure, the issue may be submitted to the court "in-camera" (privately in judge's chambers) for its determination. Confidentiality is important for those individuals and businesses who want to keep their negotiations and decisions private.

Brad Garlinghouse takes over as CEO of payments startup Ripple
Matthew Lynley	@mattlynley / 3 years
After running Ripple for around four years and overseeing the company's growth through around $94 million in financing, CEO Chris Larsen will be stepping down.
Larsen will become executive chairman of the company — a common move in CEO transitions. But COO Brad Garlinghouse, previously CEO of Hightail as well as a former AOL and Yahoo senior executive, will be taking over the role as CEO. Garlinghouse is also a prolific investor, putting money into companies like Vurb (which was acquired by Snapchat for more than $110 million).
As companies grow up and hit a phase where they need to begin scaling rapidly, CEO transitions are not all that uncommon. In this case, Garlinghouse is well-known as an operational executive, and as Ripple's goals shift more toward bringing on partners and building out its network, Larsen has an opportunity to hand the reins over to someone with experience doing that.
"We've definitely transitioned as an industry from, ok, super. interesting technology, where does it fit, I'll throw out a bunch of ideas," Larsen said. "Before you know it you can microwave with it. It's moved from that, and found actual places where it's solving real world problems. It's with problems like the underbanked, billions of people getting data but not being able to act on data with that value. It's about these 2 billion people that are left out of this ability to engage in e-commerce even though they can see the data."
So, needless to say, Garlinghouse has played many roles and has overseen a wide array of ideas through his time in Silicon Valley (and is a Jayhawks fan, which is FINE I guess). He joined Ripple in April last year. He's also particularly well known as a result of a leaked memo he sent around while at Yahoo about spreading the company's resources too thinly. It was dubbed The Peanut Butter Manifesto, because he compared it to spreading peanut butter across a wide array of areas. And, also, said he hates peanut butter (either as a metaphor or otherwise).
"I think there are a lot of interesting companies, but there aren't that many companies that can take their little dent in the universe," Garlinghouse said. "I think what Ripple is doing is not just, hey, how do we enable banks — it's a broader effort in how can you enable an Internet of Things and connected devices that are economic actors to pass a couple pennies. Today we fundamentally can't do that in an efficient way unless I'm handing you 2 pennies. Whether you talk about Africa, or underbanked communities, these are all examples where Ripple can change the way society works."
Ripple's goal is to try to make it as easy as possible to transfer money between two stores of value. But for now, the process of moving money from one repository to another — especially overseas and for underbanked individuals — has been incredibly difficult. Larsen, during his tenure, hoped to build infrastructure that could make it easy and cheap to transfer money from service to service, or bank to bank — from PayPal to Bank of America, or anything along those lines.
Indeed, as different money-transfer services begin to proliferate, there's probably going to be a need for a unifying layer. While Venmo might be a popular service in the United States, there's still a question as to how to effectively move money from someone who uses Venmo as a standard to a different payments service. The notion of a unifying ledger is not a new one, but it's one that's transformed Ripple into a full-fledged company.
"PayPal exists because banks are not interoperable, I can't efficiently pay you $10 unless I'm giving you a $10 bill," Garlinghouse said. "So we're all on PayPal and Venmo, I need interoperability on the same ledger. We want to enable interoperability from across networks, then your bank to my bank, or Visa to Alipay."
For Garlinghouse, much of the time has been spent on planes and on the phone. But during his time as chief operating officer, Ripple has signed on some of the largest banks in the world to use the company's products — not to mention raising a $55 million financing round.
"Digital assets were thought of being toxic a few years ago, now you're seeing banks building products around them," Larsen said. "That's a big change, we're just at the beginning of the Internet of value, there's gonna be tons to do. And you need someone who can scale that."
Garlinghouse will take over as CEO on January 1

NoDa's 28206 zip code is about to get the 'South End treatment'
By Katie Peralta | August 26, 2019
New construction is ramping up rapidly in NoDa, especially on the side closer to North Tryon. Developers say it won't be long until the neighborhood gets a total makeover just like South End did after the light rail started service.
The light rail extension bisects NoDa into two zip codes: 28206 and 28205. The latter is what you might consider the established part of NoDa — the artsy stretch of North Davidson Street that's filled with breweries (Heist and Protagonist, for instance) and restaurants (Haberdish and Cabo Fish Taco).
For years, development has lagged on the 28206 side, especially in the stretch that runs from Matheson up to Craighead, bordered on either side by North Tryon and the light rail.
That's all changing now, though.
Amelie's French Bakery, for instance, announced last week it's moving into that area — right near the corner of 36th and North Tryon streets. It's the first of what will be many new businesses that will be arriving in the neighborhood.
Lured by several factors including the light rail, developers have been buying up large pieces of property nearby. In a few years, apartments, breweries, restaurants and offices will replace aging industrial facilities, longstanding car dealerships and vacant lots.
Amelie's is moving into the old Hart Witzen building at 136 E. 36th St. Agenda full story: Amelie's is moving into a 'newer, fresher, better' space in NoDa, a mile from its flagship bakery
"It's getting the South End treatment, but it will be closer to the NoDa eclectic vibe," broker Rusty Gibbs told the Agenda.
Gibbs last week announced plans to lease an old industrial building that's being redeveloped by Canopy. It's next to the Sugar Creek light rail station, about a mile north of the new Amelie's spot. Gibbs's property will be a "mixed-use destination" with room for a coffee shop/juice bar, brewery, bodega and fitness studio.
"The whole area is going to be unrecognizable in the next two to five years," Gibbs added.
When Aston Properties said last week it plans to redevelop a former art gallery in NoDa to become the new home of Amelie's, the local developer also disclosed it had purchased three parcels next to the property off 36th Street this summer.
The other tracts of land are along North Tryon, an area currently filled mostly with used car dealerships and auto body shops. In total, Aston now owns about five acres in the area. The firm is still weighing development options for its remaining land.
George Dewey, Aston's president and CEO, describes the 28206 area of NoDa as "a canvas" that's ripe for redevelopment.
"The energy will move in this direction," Dewey said.
Dewey's firm specializes in grocery-anchored developments. Aston, for instance, redeveloped the property in South End near Sedgefield for a newly built Harris Teeter, along with other retail including Holler and Dash.
There is a need for a full-service grocery store in NoDa: The closest ones are a Food Lion on The Plaza and a Giant Penny about a block away from there.
Dewey said while he'd like to bring a grocery store to the neighborhood, it might be more feasible in a few years, once more people have moved into the area.
As the saying goes: Retail follows rooftops.
"I think in five years, it'll be a no-brainer," Dewey said of bringing a grocery store to NoDa.
Next to Aston's site on North Tryon, an LLC associated with developer Tony Kuhn of the Flywheel Group in May bought a three-acre site that's currently home to a used-car dealer called SMS Auto.Kuhn said he is still figuring out his plans for the property, but it will include some kind of retail.
Farther north, near the Sugar Creek light rail station, Kuhn has assembled dozens of acres over the years for what will be something of a small town center for the area. Called the Greenway District, the area will include multi-family housing, retail and office space.
One of Kuhn's properties near the light rail station is called Station House, and it's home to The Shed amphitheater and Charlotte Art League. Both were pushed out of their respective former locations to make way for new development.
"We're kind of starting with the arts and entertainment focus, then we're very quickly going to follow it with places to live and places to work to make it a whole integrated place," Kuhn said.

Near Kuhn's district is the 18.5-acre site of the Metromont concrete plant, which closed a few years ago. Charlotte City Council gave the green-light to a major redevelopment on the site in June. Developer Greg Godley of Sugar Creek Ventures plans a mixed-use project filled with apartments, retail and offices.
Larken Egleston, a city council member who represents District 1, called the project a "poster child" for transit oriented development. The city says TOD zoning is intended to "create more vibrant, interesting, and sustainable transit station areas."
There are several factors at play that make this area in NoDa attractive to developers.
Light rail: Just as breweries, apartments, restaurants and, most recently, corporate offices sprang up all around South End after the light rail started operating, developers attracted to NoDa because of the light rail. The extension, which runs from Uptown to UNC Charlotte, began service in March 2018.
To make way for the new rail, Norfolk Southern tracks had to be elevated to a bridge in order to allow 36th Street to pass underneath. The street was closed off to the bustling heart of NoDa for over four years. It finally opened last October, roughly two years later than was originally planned.
The prolonged closure of 36th helped staved off development and activity in the 28206 area for years.
Ample space: Amelie's needed a new property that could well serve drivers and pedestrians alike, Dewey said. That was a major draw of the new site, where Aston will more than double the size of the parking lot.
Aston still has 6,200 square feet of retail space available for another tenant after Amelie's moves in, Dewey said. His firm is still figuring out its leasing strategy for the space, but the tenant could be a business that needs parking, such as a restaurant, fitness studio or medical facility, he said.
"As this community grows and there are more people living here, there are certain services it needs as well. It can't all just be restaurants and bars," Dewey said.
Cross Charlotte Trail: This summer, city council approved more than $54 million to complete parts of the Cross Charlotte trail that have already been designed, including parts that run through NoDa.
Developers see the trail as a major draw, the way it has been in South End for pedestrians, bikers and scooters.
Opportunity zones: Part of the 2017 tax reform law includes tax incentives for investors to buy land in certain underserved areas.
There are 17 so-called opportunity zones are in Mecklenburg County, including the now-developing stretch in the 28206 zip code.
The opportunity zone designation brings "added attention to the corridor," said Egleston, whose district includes NoDa and Plaza Midwood. The designation isn't the only factor that would draw developers to an area, though, he said.
"They're more like icing on the cake for something that would be a good deal anyway," Egleston said.
Skeptics of opportunity zones, however, say they accelerate gentrification in low-income areas.
Oftentimes, long-established businesses and residents alike are forced to leave an area as developers move in. The city has made tackling affordable housing a priority, especially in fast-changing areas.
But a lesser-discussed problem is commercial gentrification. That's what happens when businesses, oftentimes minority-owned ones, are forced out of their space.
That was the case at the City North Business Center, just over a mile away on North Tryon. Dozens of tenants who'd paid below-market rent were forced to vacant their longtime spaces after Artesia Real Estate purchased the building The Austin-based firm is renovating the 200,000 square-foot facility for new office and retail tenants.
Tackling commercial gentrification is becoming more of a concern, Egleston said.
"It's always a double-edged sword when you have that growth in development," he added.

Is your teen getting mental health advice from the internet?
Cyber Safety for Families with Joanna and Jodie on 103.9FM The Fish Family Morning Show
Janice York is a Marriage and Family Therapist in Cameron Park who observes that when parents are absent or not engaged in the life of their child, it can become a form of isolation at home which can contribute to anxiety and depression and also hinder healing.
Mental health is a touchy subject, and youth are very confident about searching for information via the internet. So it is not surprising that a recent article via BBC News featured a concern that teens are seeking mental health advice from the internet and not involving the adults in their lives. But more interesting to me is that parents were not mentioned as one of the "go to" resources for youth seeking assistance with mental health issues. This made me wonder how parents can realize their role in their children's mental health.
Engaging parents to promote security
Janice York is a Marriage and Family Therapist in Cameron Park who observes that when parents are absent or not engaged in the life of their child, it can become a form of isolation at home which can contribute to anxiety and depression and also hinder healing. "It is the wave of the future but I think it is sad," she said. "A lot of times parents call to make an appointment and they know their teen is sad or depressed but they have not asked the hard questions. 'Are you feeling so sad you are thinking of harming yourself?' When they say 'No not really' it is important to let them know you heard a 'yes' and you ask further and deeper probing questions." According to York, most parents are afraid to hear the answer so they don't ask, or they simply ignore what they heard from their child in hopes it will all go away. She encourages parents to be vulnerable with their child, by not reacting fearfully (i.e., anxious about fixing their issue). "A parent has to somehow build that right to have that deeper communication level before they will feel a trust level to express that deeper issue," she said. "That doesn't mean a need to get serious. It is about being willing to bring yourself into a vulnerable position with your child…encourage that dialog to unfold and don't react in a way that is fearful or avoidant."
Diane Mintz, author of In Sickness and In Mental Health, encourages open dialogue about mental health and illness without shame or stigma.
Sacramento resident, Diane Mintz is the author of In Sickness and In Mental Health. She encourages open dialogue about mental health and illness without shame or stigma. "In our home, we make it perfectly natural to discuss mental health," she said. "We talk about taking care of our conditions, in the same way we would if we had diabetes or cancer – openly and unashamedly." Mintz advises folks to avoid focusing on tragic media stories; rather point out those who have overcome and live healthy productive lives. "Teens will feel more confident when they know there is hope and will open up when they know they will be supported," she said.
Internet connectivity can fuel insecurity
Marie Hall, founder of Living Smart Foundation and Farmer's Markets in Carmichael, California.
Compounding these isolating circumstances at home is that youth have access to all manner of knowledge and connections via the internet that can reinforce misinformation. Marie Hall is the founder of Living Smart Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to youth financial literacy training and employment headquartered in Carmichael. She is concerned that teens today romanticize depression impacting their sense of worth and self esteem in their music, poems and talk about suicide. According to Hall we know from our own experience that it is normal to be melancholy during adolescence, and the kids may be interpreting melancholy as depression. "Good self esteem is holding yourself accountable for your own actions," she said. "Social media affects self-esteem, because it is often perceived as how the world is making you feel." So when young people allow their cyber social realm to be a single point of reference for life, it can be very isolating. "'Likes' give people temporary fame and acceptance," Hall said. "It is completely extrinsic and many kids are trying to thrive on 'likes'. It is not soulful, and that is why many youth are turning to alcohol and sex."
My two cents: Considerations to engage youth in mental health conversations
Examine your own thoughts and opinions about mental health. Do you view mental illness as a character flaw? Do you give your children the opportunity to opt out once in a while, so they can have some space to think and reflect and then later talk about what their experiences are teaching them about life?
How do you handle feelings? When a child has a melt-down, how do you respond? Do you try to control it, discipline it? Or do you take a deep breath and calmly redirect them to a safe and private place so they can be present with you without others judging them (no condemnation), and then talk about the feelings and focus on thoughts that inspire hope?
How do you talk about feelings with your child? Consider that feelings are real, and sometimes we cannot help having them, especially sadness, anger, fear and melancholy. But the facts are simply the thoughts or beliefs we choose to embrace and defend as individuals and as a family regardless of what is happening in the world. It is your truth. What belief system is governing your home life? Forgiveness and grace, or crime and punishment?
Consider that stigma inspires shame (it is a form of out-casting individuals/separation), which kills open communication. The antidote is indiviual accountability with a forgiveness and grace mindset. And so it is important to realize that our opinions and wisdom are not the same thing. The temptation is to impose our personal judgments about a person's worthiness based upon their state of mental health, behavior and accomplishments. When in fact, being governed by forgiveness and grace empowers us to hold people accountable for their actions without condemnation in our own hearts. Children are craving this authenticity in a hyper-connected world that features a crime and punishment mentality inspiring a sense of unending hopeless incarceration. In response to the offenses of others, forgiveness is choosing to express the mercy and hope of Divine Love (1 John 4:18 – fearless) which is accessible to every human being no matter how far they have fallen from grace. When consequences are administered and received without condemnation, then it is possible to stand corrected – to engage with the family and community redeemed. In this way, a forgiveness and grace mindset can make home a sanctuary despite the cyber-powered storms inspiring anxiety and feelings of worthlessness and isolation.
When to seek professional help. If your child is expressing suicidal thoughts or seems inconsolable, seek help from a counselor or therapist. Even if you are not sure that one is needed, listen to your gut. Pick up the phone and speak with a professional who may be able to help you better assess your child's situation.

Q: onload event listener called many times when loading just one page in Firefox extension I wrote a program to capture browser side implicit indicators using Javascript and PHP. The program is working very well as a standalone on a single index page. I tried adding it as an extension in Firefox so that users can access it remotely and to capture all URL visited.   As I added it, I discovered that it fires whenever a single file (such as html, jpg, css, js) has loaded thereby given me multiple loads. Please How can I make the associated files fire at the same time like a single file? Below is the code section:
    var linkTargetFinder = function () {
    var prefManager = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
    return {

        selectedTab: null,

            }, false);
        },

We have a full track event at Silverstone on Monday 12th with rented race cars, instruction and fast laps available, in our selection of own race cars so looking forward to that. Its on the full GP circuit too and we have four PPH Racing garages together for the cars, watch out for a few nice road cars too including Aventador, 458 and Scuderia, Aston and others looking on in envy. They won't be going out that day on track!
I managed to pick up second in class at the Porsche Speed championship at Goodwood last Saturday and now have my first trophy since getting my race licence. My race at Donington is a few weeks away with the CSSC and I have just done my entry forms for the Porsche Club races at Silverstone in Sept. Completing these should allow me to get my grade A licence.
Last Sunday we were very lucky to be part of the Wilton House Supercar event driving in the actual parade. Check it out on line via YouTube there were some amazing cars there. The convoy of 200 cars came out from London and we caught up with them near Swindon for a Vmax session on the runway at RAF Wroughton before a drive across country near Salisbury to the event itself.
Just days before we were at Harpenden Common for a car show with the new toy straight off the delivery lorry, its a very popular event and one to see each year for sure.
This weekend we have a run out to Waddesdon planned with the owners club, hoping for dry weather but lets see.
The plans for our couples weekend are nearly complete and we have an amazing 8 cars signed up making it a group of 16 people with routes, hotels and events to book very soon. A great mix of three Ferraris, Aston, Jag, Audi spyder, and 997 Porsches. It will look great driving on convoy.
With the holiday season still live I will leave it another month before we try our next social but please watch out for that on this website or via your e mails as you have subscribed anyway.

Q: ScrollView layout or its RelativeLayout parent is possibly useless I'm developing an Android 4 and above application.
One layer generate this Warning:This ScrollView layout or its RelativeLayout parent is possibly useless; transfer the background attribute to the other view
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="#000"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="3dp" >

        <WebView
            android:id="@+id/about"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
            android:layerType="software" />
    </ScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

How can I solve this warning?

A: Usually, you'd want ScrollView on the outside, which allows you to scroll the content you have.
I think this is what you want:
<ScrollView
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="3dp" >

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="#000"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/about"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layerType="software" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

A: This error means that the RelativeLayout is useless, as it only contains one View (the ScrollView). You should make the ScrollView the parent, remembering to move the xmlns:android tag to the ScrollView, as well as the #000 background attribute. This will improve performance and should remove the error. Also remember that a ScrollView should only ever have one subview.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/scrollView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#000"
    android:layout_marginBottom="3dp" >

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/about"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layerType="software" />
</ScrollView>

A: If you really want to use relative or Linear layout you can use ahead of Scrollview provided after linear Layout you will have to use any control(Imageview,Imagebutton etc..) then it will not throw any warning/error.
Happy coding
