Q: Is it possible to generate typescript code from flowtype code? Since flow and typescript are quite similar in many aspects I have wondered, if it is possible to generate typescript declaration files from flow code. Or the other way generate flow code from typescript.
So does anyone know if this is even possible?
And if it is possible, is there an existing tool?

A: Yes but the feature is still in development see this comment for usage https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/3168#issuecomment-271559249

A: I just found this project that does this, but only generates Flow definitions from Typescript: https://github.com/joarwilk/flowgen.

Q: URLConnection empty stream URLConnection Stream is Empty
I'm working with Xamarin Studio 4.0.9 and use this code:
Stream lResult = null;

URLConnection lConn = new URL(url).OpenConnection();

lResult = lConn.InputStream;

return lResult;

To get a Stream from this url: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=52.37,9.74&daddr=52.370100224,9.739360256&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=dragdir
Since a few weaks it doesn't work anymore and the stream is empty, when I read from it.
Has anyone an idea why?
UPDATE
I also tried this:
Uri lUri=new Uri(url);

WebRequest request=(WebRequest) WebRequest.Create(lUri);

request.Method="GET";

WebResponse response = (WebResponse)request.GetResponse();

lResult=response.GetResponseStream();

but I got this exception:
System.Net.WebException Error getting response stream (Write: EndWrite failure): SendFailure
NOTE
The application is made with c# in Xamarin Studio 4.0.9

A: let's consult this example
URL url = new URL("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=52.37,9.74&daddr=52.370100224,9.739360256&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=dragdir");
   HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
   try {
     InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
     readStream(in);//call function to read a stream
    finally {
     urlConnection.disconnect();
   }

A: this is my util class
 public class HttpConnection
    {
        public static string GetString(string url)
        {
            return GetString(url, Encoding.UTF8);
        }

        public static string GetString(string url, Encoding encode)
        {
            HttpWebRequest oReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
            oReq.UserAgent = @"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5";
            oReq.Method = "GET";
            ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
            HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)oReq.GetResponse();
            StreamReader loResponseStream = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream(), encode);
            String s = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd();
            loResponseStream.Close();

            return s.Replace(" ", " ");
        }
}

let's call function HttpConnection.GetString(string url) like this
HttpConnection.GetString("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=52.37,9.74&daddr=52.370100224,9.739360256&ie=UTF8&0&om=0&output=dragdir")

Q: JavaScript: convert an array of arrays which contain strings into an array of arrays which contain objects I know it's a simple questions... But I got stacked. I want to convert an arrays of arrays which contain strings into an array of arrays which contain objects.
what_i_have = [
  [
    "{"point1":"recommendation number 1 text"}",
    "{"point2":"recommendation number 2 text"}"
  ],
  [
    "{"point1":1.5}","{"ponit2":2}"
  ],
  [
    "{"point1":1.5}","{"point2":2}"
  ]
]

I want to get this:
what_i_want = [
  [
    {"point1":"recommendation number 1 text"},
    {"point2":"recommendation number 2 text"}
  ],
  [
    {"point1":1.5},{"ponit2":2}
  ],
  [
    {"point1":1.5},{"point2":2}
  ]
]

I tried several ways. The last way with JSON.parse() elements of arrays. But there is something I did wrong all times.
Any suggestion will be truly welcome. Thanks in advance!

A: I think Array.prototype.map is what you want, i.e.
what_i_want  = what_i_have.map(arr => arr.map(str => JSON.parse(str)))

There are some problems with " in your code example, but ignoring that map should do what you want.

A: Use JSON.parse and map like this:
var result = what_i_have.map(function(subarr) {
    return subarr.map(function(str) {
        return JSON.parse(str);
    });
});

A: Just loop over with JSON.parse

what_i_have = [
  [
    '{"point1":"recommendation number 1 text"}', '{"point2":"recommendation number 2 text"}'
  ],
  [
    '{"point1":1.5}', '{"ponit2":2}'
  ],
  [
    '{"point1":1.5}', '{"point2":2}'
  ]
]
for (var i = 0; i < what_i_have.length; i++) {
  var arr = what_i_have[i];
  for (var j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) {
    arr[j] = JSON.parse(arr[j]);
  }
}
console.log(what_i_have);


Wilson was born in Sydney on 18 November 1970. She is the daughter of the caterer Karlene White Wilson and Darcy Wilson, a former warrant officer in the Australian Army. She spent several years in Papua New Guinea, when her father was stationed there. Her parents' marriage came to an end in 1982.
Wilson worked first as a model in Australia and in Europe, before she moved to Los Angeles in 1991 to study acting with Arthur Mendoza at the Actors Circle Theatre and with Tom Waits at the TomKat Repertory Group. After some education in acting, Wilson was hired for some small roles in independent films, such as in Loser and in One of Our Own. Then, in 1996, Wilson was preparing to continue her studies at an acting school in New York City, but she decided to audition first for a new television show to be produced for the USA cable TV channel in North America. From a field of just over 200 aspiring actresses who auditioned for the starring role, the new program's producers chose to offer the job to Wilson, and she accepted. This new show was called La Femme Nikita, based on the French movie Nikita. Each episode was one hour long, and the series was produced by a combination of Canadian and American companies. The show ran for five years and 96 episodes on the USA network. There were 22 episodes per season for four years, and another eight episodes in its fifth and final TV year. Most of the episodes of La Femme Nikita were filmed in and around the city of Toronto, Ontario.
Wilson's co-stars in this TV series were the actors Roy Dupuis, Don Francks, Alberta Watson and Eugene Robert Glazer, and for her acting in La Femme Nikita, Wilson was nominated twice for the annual Gemini Award for "Best Performance by An Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role", though she did not win.

Q: vaadin-grid not visible within a paper-header-panel I am trying to display a table data using vaadin-grid, embedded within a paper-header-panel element. The data is supposed to come from a Rest call. The Rest client used is  and I am binding the last-response attribute with the 'items' attribute of the vaadin-grid.

        </paper-header-panel>

Can you please help me understand the issue? And how to fix it?

A: I had the same problem with paper-scroll-header-panel and vaadin-grid. I found two causes/solutions for this:

*

*A quick inspect revealed the page-scroll-header-panel had a height of 0px. Making sure that the pager-scroll-header-panel height was 100% fixed it:
.max-height {
    height: 100%;
}

<paper-scroll-header-panel fixed class="max-height">
</paper-scroll-header-panel>

*The paper-scroll-header-panel will create a mainContainer div and height: with position:'absolute' to place it's contents (which vaadin-grid might not like).
If the height is not your problem then try to override the position of the mainContainer to 'relative' to diagnose:
#mainContainer.paper-scroll-header-panel {
    position: relative !important;
}

Disclaimer: Try to stay away from the !important clause, it usually causes huge negative impact on the style sheet's maintainability. Inspect the mainContainer closely first since height:0 is usually the cause for this kind of things.
Hope this helps!

Holy Terrors: A Conversation With the Creators of 'The Book of Mormon'
By DAVE ITZKOFF
Josh Haner/The New York Times Matt Stone, Trey Parker and Robert Lopez, the creators of "The Book of Mormon."
What happens when you put Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the unrepentant provocateurs behind Comedy Central's animated series "South Park," together with Robert Lopez, who tarnished sacred childhood memories as a co-creator of the Tony-winning puppet musical "Avenue Q"? At the very least, you get "The Book of Mormon," their new musical comedy — nearly eight years in the making — about a pair of young Mormon missionaries whose sunny dispositions and understandings of their faith are seriously challenged when they are dispatched to remote Uganda.
But given the audacious comic spirit that "The Book of Mormon" proudly wears on its sleeve (not to mention the vividly vulgar language that rolls off the tongues of its performers); the pedigree of its creators; and, especially, Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone's track record when it comes to offending religious groups to their fullest possible degree, will the musical shake up Broadway's spring season or have theatergoers reaching for their torches and pitchforks?
Audiences will soon find out when "The Book of Mormon" begins previews at the Eugene O'Neill Theater on Feb. 24 and opens on March 24. An article in this weekend's Arts & Leisure section looks at the making of the musical and the careers of its creative team. In these excerpts from a conversation with Mr. Lopez, Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker, they talk about their longtime, (mostly) professional interests in Mormonism, and why they think "The Book of Mormon" is ultimately pro-faith.
How were the three of you brought together on this project?
TREY PARKER Matt and I were writing "Team America," so we came out to meet with [the producer] Scott [Rudin]. Matt and I were in Scott's office, and he said, "Oh, you know there's these guys doing a puppet thing on Broadway." And my first reaction was like, "Oh, no, someone's doing 'Team America,' basically." For some reason, we thought to do something with marionettes was such a sweet idea.
MATT STONE We have to do this before Peter Jackson does it or something.
PARKER So we got tickets to "Avenue Q," and right away we really liked it. We were happy that it wasn't marionettes, too. And we noticed in the program that there was a thank you to us. And we didn't even know these guys. So then we met up afterward and talked a bunch. We were asking, what are you going to do next? And Bobby said, "I always wanted to do a thing about Joseph Smith." And we're just like: "Oh, we love that stuff. We're so into Mormons and stuff." Actually, since we did "Cannibal! The Musical" in college, we thought about doing a Joseph Smith musical.
STONE 1800s historical musicals, that'll be our thing. No one's doing that.
ROBERT LOPEZ I remember the way Trey phrased it was, "We've been wanting to do that for 10 years." And I was like, "Oh, well, if you have the prior claim, all right."
Was this before you did the "South Park" episode "All About the Mormons?"
LOPEZ It came out a very short while after. I was like: "Oh, they did it. All right, that's fine."
PARKER But we had gotten together a couple times. And really quickly we decided it shouldn't be a musical about Joseph Smith. Really, the most musical kind of story that's inherent to Mormon is the story of missionaries, and just the fact that it's such a built-in coming-of-age story. Boys can be paired with someone for two years they don't even know and then sent somewhere across the world.
Bobby, what made you interested in the subject of Mormonism?
LOPEZ I'd taken Harold Bloom at Yale. I really liked the idea of the Bible as literature – a story that can change the world in this very profound and powerful way, but in the end it's just a story. Nothing demonstrates that as well as the Book of Mormon, because it was written so recently. When you hear the story of it, he so clearly made it up. It's such a load of baloney. But people believe in it so strongly, and their lives really are demonstrably changed for the good by it. I had thought about doing the Bible Part III, but then I realized, that's the Book of Mormon. That's the Bible fan fiction.
Trey and Matt, why do Mormon characters and ideas about Mormonism often appear in your work?
PARKER A lot it is because we grew up in Colorado, right next to Utah.
STONE My best friend, when I was sixth grade, was a Mormon.
PARKER My first serious girlfriend was a Mormon. I remember going to family home evening at her house, and just being like, "What are you people doing?" But in a good way. I was actually going home to my parents and being like, "Can we play a board game?" They were like: "What? No, we're watching TV."
STONE They seemed like the perfect way to talk about religion because you talk to a Catholic, and it's like, "Uch, Mormons, come on." To me, it's not that different. Mormons believe that Jesus, in the three days between crucifixion and resurrection, in that period was one of the times he appears in the Americas to the Israelites that came here. And seriously, Catholics will be like: "Come on. He came all the way across the ocean? How he'd do that?"
PARKER [nasal voice] "How'd he do that? He was dead."
STONE If they're your next-door neighbors, you're lucky. They're really good people to have in your community. Of course that's a huge, broad-brush stereotype. And then you look at what they believe and you go, that is just goofy. And then you start going, well, do those goofy stories have something to do with the niceness? Do goofy stories make these people nice? What if, in their goofiness, these stories somehow inspire that, in the right way? Is that a social good?
And from that came the idea to center the musical around the two young missionary characters in the present day?
PARKER It's like "An American in Paris." We can set this anywhere and have that double thing where not only are we talking about Mormons, but we can also be talking about wherever we are.
STONE And they go to one of those places that is just kind of cursed. Sub-Saharan Africa. That seems shorthand for a place that God forgot about. You take these boys from this gleaming white – figuratively and literally – city in Utah and send them to someplace like that. It's so audacious to send a 19-year-old into somewhere and go, "Hey, I'm going to tell you how to make your life better." "You're 19. And you're from Utah, and we're in Cambodia."
Growing up, were any of your families religious?
PARKER & STONE [simultaneously] No.
LOPEZ Mine was. My parents made me go to church. They weren't really religious, but they made me go to Sunday school. I got into it, and then in college I was like, "Oh, wait a minute."
STONE I just didn't grow up religious, but our job is to tell stories. So, I think coming at it as storytellers, we all have a weird sense of respect or awe. Sometimes we look at these stories and we're like, that's not even a good story, but for some reason, this captivates people.
For Trey and Matt, have you been able to see any other Broadway shows while you've been working on "Book of Mormon"?
PARKER I go all the time. I love Broadway. I love musicals. But I also hate bad musicals. It's so funny how a good musical can make you just love musicals, and a bad one just makes you so angry. I like the big ones. I liked "Jersey Boys," I liked "Wicked." I took my whole family to see "Elf," and everyone had a great time. That's why it's so important. We wanted to make this not just cynical and Mormon-bashing, but hopeful and happy, because to me that's what musicals are all about. I don't like "Next to Normal." Made me want to kill myself. [laughs]
You've said that "Book of Mormon," for all its satire and strong language, is ultimately a sweet show. So where does the sweetness come from?
STONE The boys who go on the mission are goodhearted. They're not bad guys, and they're not hellfire religious guys. They're just two 19-year-old kids trying to do the right thing. And most of the Africans, they're really good people stuck in the [worst] place on earth, with no hope to get out. You put them in there. Seemed like that should be funny.
LOPEZ It's "The Music Man." They've got a town with a problem. Instead of a pool table, it's AIDS and warlords. These guys are trying to sell a lie to them, but the lie turns out to be true in a different way.
STONE The Africans are sweet, too.
PARKER One of the Africans who hears about this stuff – she doesn't hear anything about the religion, she just hears about this place, Salt Lake City, and she confuses that with a real paradise on earth, where there's going to be waterfalls and unicorns and rainbows, and all this stuff. And as soon as you know that she's going to try to follow this because she thinks she can actually go to that place, it starts to have a heart there.
As you've brought new cast members into the show, have you had to warn them in advance about the material they're going to be asked to perform?
LOPEZ People come in now, and we watch the new people come in, and we watch their faces the first day of the read-through. "What did I sign myself up for? Everyone else seems to be O.K. with this."
STONE It's like those experiments where they put everybody in a room, filling out job applications, and they pump smoke under the door and wait to see – because it's a bunch of people not doing anything, you kind of go with it, you know? We're definitely going to exploit that. "Just go with it, everyone else is. You're fine, you're fine."
PARKER The thing is, they're theater people. So they can't hide behind anything. We can do it [on "South Park"], but really it's just coming out of Cartman's mouth. Now we're asking you to go up there and say that to all these people. [laughs] So it's a real difference.
LOPEZ They're fearless.
Why did you decide to bring the show directly to Broadway without an out-of-town or Off Broadway run?
PARKER For a long time it was really, what do we do? What do we do?
STONE We talked Off Broadway. To see [a certain number identified by a vulgar lyric] Off Broadway, is like, Hmm, O.K. guys. And to do it on Broadway is the point. We didn't have the Off Broadway run, but we had the wherewithal to have enough workshops to replace that. I mean, hopefully, right? I don't know. Pretty presumptuous.
PARKER We didn't even know. At first it was like, well, we've got to do it Off Broadway first because we don't want to look arrogant. And then it was like, no, we can't do it Off Broadway because we don't want to look insincere. It's like, oh come on, you know you're taking this Broadway. Come on. All of it was just a big guessing game.
Are you concerned that more traditional theatergoers might see "Book of Mormon" and go, "What did they do to my Broadway?"
STONE It doesn't seem incongruous to us that Broadway could have those ideas, and that little bit of shock value – that electric shock that makes you think a certain way. They take off all their clothes at the end of "Hair." Why do they do that? Honestly, why do they do that? It's just a big "boom" moment.
LOPEZ In the '60s they did it because they were high. Now they do it to sell the show.
In the two-part, 200th episode of "South Park" last year, you suggested that a character in a bear suit might be the Prophet Muhammad, which resulted in a Muslim group writing a vaguely threatening message about you on its Web site. Were you worried for your own safety during this time?
PARKER It's so funny, the way we do "South Park," we were just under the gun to deliver a show. And when we're doing "South Park," and we're in production, we're like this. [puts head down] It wasn't even until the run ended that we could finally come up and be like, "O.K., really, what happened?" But we have to stick by what we'd always said. It either has to be all O.K., or none of it is. And we'd said that for 12 years, so we couldn't suddenly go, well, O.K., maybe that goes.
Do you think that "Book of Mormon" could open you up to similarly extreme responses?
PARKER All we can do is what we always do, try to let the show speak for itself. The most [upset] ones will be the ones that won't even watch it.
STONE We tried to make a show in which, at the end of the day, religion – our definition, our new definition – religion wins the day. And it's a source of good. We all feel that way.
LOPEZ It's pro-faith.
STONE It's a pro-faith show. It is. It gets there a funny way, but it's our version of that argument.
How is it pro-faith?
PARKER Because of what faith is to us. We all grew up with "Star Wars." In a way "Star Wars" was our religion, and Spider-Man's a religion. That affected our lives way more than Jesus, but they were still stories. And they were great stories, and that's why they affected our lives.
LOPEZ It doesn't matter whether they're true or not – whether you believe in them literally.
STONE Joseph Smith, you can either look at him like a prophet or a pathological liar. But whatever he did, he put himself and he put America at the center of the narrative. "Let's make ourselves the star of the story." It's such a powerful thing. You can imagine Americans in the 1850s and 1860s, these poor settlers, and it's like: "No, no no, you're not just a poor settler. You're a main actor in a cosmic narrative." Of course you're going to be like, "That's better than being Joe Schmo." "Star Wars," whatever you think about it, they'll be talking about it in 800 years. And they'll talking about Jesus, and they'll be talking about Joseph Smith.
Will you be sticking around New York to see how "The Book of Mormon" fares after it opens?
STONE Two weeks after opening night we go back to L.A. to do seven episodes of "South Park," and then we come back in June. Hopefully we'll still be running. That's a really new thing for us. We have friends and family asking when they should come see it. I'm like, "Well, probably pretty soon." I can't guarantee it will be here. I hope it will. I hope you can come see it for years, but I don't know.
Will your next batch of "South Park" episodes somehow address your Broadway experience?
PARKER We're keeping them pretty separate.
STONE They always talk about that. "What if Cartman comes on TV, and says, 'Hey go buy tickets to "Book of Mormon." ' " He wouldn't say that. It really still bugs us. Cartman might like this show.
PARKER Cartman has some things to say about "Spider-Man," I can tell you that. We're trying to keep our karma good.

Don't Expect the Book of Mormon Movie Anytime Soon

If you're one of the tens of thousands who've never been able to get a highly coveted ticket to The Book of Mormon, we've got some good news and some bad news for you. First, the good! Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been actively discussing a movie version: "We want to do it some day," Parker told EW. Unfortunately, that day is pretty far away, since the Broadway musical is still such a financial windfall. "Hopefully it will have a big run and a big tour and then we can do the movie in several years," Stone said, though he doesn't expect the current, Scott Rudin–produced Broadway version to change too much on its way to the big screen. "The great thing is, a lot of Broadway teams would have to go team up with a Hollywood producer and bring on a Hollywood director, but Trey's a director and Scott's a great producer," said Stone. "We've all made movies. So it's kind of cool, it can stay in the same family."

The Book of Mormon is now in the black.
While there is suspicion that despite glowing press, the year-old Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark will have to run for decades to recoup its $75 million budget, the same cannot be said of the Tony-winning The Book Of Mormon. The musical by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone this week recouped its capitalization and will now begin pouring cash into the pockets of investors. This is hardly a surprise: the musical continues to be Broadway's hot ticket, and it has broken the house record 22 times at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre since opening March 24.

The Book Of Mormon juggernaut shows no signs of abating. The Tony-winning musical, which recouped its initial investment in eight months and has a precedent-setting $40 million advance sale on Broadway, is now getting ready to hit the road with two road companies. The first stop, a three-week run in Denver, just sold out in only five hours. Tickets will begin selling shortly for a 12-week run in Los Angeles. Broadway is certainly perilous – Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark will have to play for years for investors to have a shot at recouping that $75 million investment — but when these stage productions work as well as The Book Of Mormon, Wicked and Jersey Boys, they mint money forever and are a better bet than movies. And there is an eventual movie down the road, as is the case with all three of those hits.

The producers of The Book Of Mormon opened the Tony winning hit Thursday night at London's Prince of Wales Theatre. They've announced that the show set a record for the biggest single day of sales in West End and Broadway history on the day following. Yesterday, between 10:00 AM and Midnight, the box office did £2,107,972, or $3,210,019 in ticket sales. Some 150,000 additional tickets have been made available and the show is now booking until January 11, 2014.
Cameron Mackintosh, who owns the theater and has had his share of big stage hits said: "After a phenomenal opening night I am delighted to see a phenomenal record-breaking post opening box office of over £2m. The Mormons have truly delivered a Heavenly hit!"
The Book Of Mormon, with book, music and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone, is produced in London by Anne Garefino, Scott Rudin, Important Musicals and Sonia Friedman Productions. This is the latest of a swarm of broken records for the musical, which on Broadway has bested the Eugene O'Neill Theatre's house record 44 times. The National Tour has continually broken house records across the country since opening in Denver in the summer of 2012, and the Chicago production holds the house record at the Bank of America Theatre. The musical, which won nine Tony Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, shows how lucrative an original stage hit can be. The musical shows no sign of slowing, with four Book Of Mormon companies operating thus far, and the inevitable movie that will come sometime down the line.

Commodity Market: FG tasks stakeholders on harnessing e-commerce potentials
Emmanuella Anokam
The Federal Government has urged industry and trade stakeholders to evolve an implementable strategy to harness economic potentials of e-commerce in commodity trade for both domestic and cross border markets.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, made the call at a two-day E-commerce Roundtable Session on Tuesday in Abuja.
The meeting was organised by the ministry's Commodity and Export Department (CED) in collaboration with the Trade Department.
The roundtable aimed at harvesting views from industry players and stakeholders on how to grow Nigerian economy through developing the e-commerce ecosystem to enhance market access for non-oil commodities.
Adebayo said that e-commerce was evolving and the issues were cross-cutting in nature, therefore, there was a need for healthy collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the e-commerce ecosystem.
In this regard, he said the government was building a partnership with banks, non-governmental and research organisations and donor agencies to mitigate challenges, currently affecting entrepreneurs and meet funding needs to take local businesses to the next level.
"As Nigeria is joining other African nations in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), there is a need for robust and sustained engagement in all spheres especially on how to leverage e-commerce to benefit from the agreement.
"The new face of commodity distribution is e-commerce; in spite of the evolving positive trends of the market globally Nigeria has not harnessed its inherent opportunities largely due to inadequate investment in the e-commerce value chain.
"In this regard, the government has identified e-commerce as a major priority programme that would play a critical role in the promotion of commodity trade especially with the current realities of the unprecedented global pandemic,'' he said.
The minister noted that the Federal Government at all levels was committed to drive initiatives of e-commerce strategy development in line with the Federal Government's post COVID-19 recovery plan.
According to him, it is encouraging that stakeholders along various value chains are deepening conversations that will promote the reality that unquantifiable wealth lies within this very important sector.
He, therefore, said that aggressive financing and investment in the sector was critical to advance the quest for sustainable development in Nigeria.
He urged the stakeholders to come up with appropriate recommendations and ways forward for ecommerce strategy for non-oil commodity development.
"This, no doubt will stimulate trade across borders which would chart a sustainable course towards food security and increased productivity, which are ingredients for employment generation, wealth creation and foreign exchange earnings for all countries," he noted.
Dr Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, the ministry's Permanent Secretary, said due to the effect of the global pandemic which affected major economic activities, Nigeria needed to diversify its economy towards the non-oil sector.
Sani-Gwarzo, represented by Mr Suleiman Audu, Director, Commodities and Export Department of the ministry, emphasized the need to deepen discussion within the public space and sustain engagement with stakeholders for maximum impact.
The roundtable has its theme as "Understanding Nigeria E-commerce Ecosystem: Contemporary Issues and Way Forward''.

We'll tackle hunger in Oyo state, says Makinde


So, winter is upon us. Not only does this mean chapped lips, freezing cold fingers and toes and tights become a staple in the wardrobe but we all get a bit...well.... pale.
I, myself, look like a total ghost in the autumn & winter months so fake tanning is normally key to me looking half normal.
So when the fabulous ladies at Lauren's Way contacted me after I had been raving about their rollers on twitter (seriously they are amazing!) and asked me whether I'd want to try out some of their tanning products I jumped at the chance - seriously who wouldn't!
I had heard so many amazing things about this tan so I jumped straight in and whacked it on as soon as the postman dropped it through the letterbox.
Because I'm fairly fair skinned and not an expert tanner I went for the 'Medium' shade in the mousse - I think this was the safest option for me to start off with!
I do have a confession to make - I normally only tend to tan before a big night out - 1. because I am lazy and 2. because I'm always scared I'm going to totally muck it up.
There is nothing worse than seeing someone with horrific streaks or who is clearly the same colour as a tangerine -I do NOT want this to be me!
I've been using this tan alot over the last few weeks as I have had lots of partys, night outs and general fun-type things to go to!
But for these photos I thought I would just show you the difference from just ONE application!
It doesn't take me long to cover my whole body with this stuff and streak free I must say! One thing I was super impressed with is the drying time.
Normally I'm flapping around the bathroom trying to get my tan to dry and feel less sticky before I get dressed again but the LW tan dries so quickly - I was so shocked! Massive brownies points for that one girls and boys!
As you can see in the photos there is a huge difference for just one quick once over with the mousse AND this is a developing mousse so you leave it on for approx. 8 hours and then wash it off for the best results - so pop it on before bed and this tan develops while you sleep - easy peasy!
The mousse is priced at £17.95 and the Glam Tan spray (mentioned below) is £18.95 and that comes with a FREE tanning mitt worth £3.99! To me these are total bargain prices, cheaper than St. Tropez and Fake Bake and for, in my opinion, a better product!
With the LW mousse tan I was also sent one of the "Glam Tan" spray bottles! When I fake tan I normally use Fake Bake or St. Mortiz and always go for a mousse, I find it so much easier to use than anything else so this is something that initially scared me a little to try out but I am actually am so impressed with how easy it has been to use!
Where it is quite a bit darker than the 'medium' mousse it took me a lot of courage to try it out but with the mitt the spray technology makes it so easy to apply evenly! So, thank you LW for helping me get out of me mousse comfort zone!
Fake tan has so many benefits - it makes you look healthier, it makes you look skinnier, it makes you feel more confident, it isn't harmful to your skin and body unlike sunbeds and sun-bathing, you are in control - want to go darker? Do it again tomorrow and the next day! If you need a pick me up with all this gloomy rain and cloud - hit the bottle and you won't regret it!
I can honestly say now - hand on heart - that the LW is the best at-home fake tan I have EVER used and will 100% be purchasing when these bottles have run out, because with the weather as it is and no holidays booked as of yet ... I'm going to need it!
This looks really good...I am a fake tan virgin and I need to get over this fear!! Everyone keeps teelling me to fake tan as I am so pale.
Wow, great post! Since I am in LA, I use Million Dollar Tan, which is great, but lately I have been wanting to use LW's products, especially the tanning line! This review really convinced me that I should definitely add it to my holiday list!
I've been wanting to try this for ages as it's had such good reviews!
The results look amazing! I tend to get lazy to ever apply my fake tan and I don't have one that I love! Thanks for the review!
I have seen a lot about the Lauren's Way tanning products and they look fantastic. I am a self-confessed fake tanning addict and I usually use St Moriz simply because of the price tag. The results look fabulous on you though sweetie, I may have to ask Santa for this.
this looks so natural, need to try it soon along with V.I.P by Vicky. might have to do a review of both!

Hart to Deliver for Miami State High School
22 Jan 2015 2:06 PMMichael Hart
Member for Burleigh Michael Hart MP said students at Miami State High School will receive improved facilities if he is re-elected as part of a strong Newman LNP Government.
"Labor left schools in Burleigh with over $5.5 million dollars' worth of peeling paint, ripped carpet and cracked windows," Mr Hart said.
"Our students deserve better and only the LNP has a strong plan to deliver the facilities our schools need.
"I'm fighting for upgrades to the drop-off zone at Miami State High School and if I am re-elected we will deliver $1 million for the installation of a drive-in-drive-out facility."
If Michael Hart is re-elected as part of a strong LNP team, Miami State High School will receive $1,000,000 to secure the installation of a drive-in-drive-out facility which will create local jobs and improve road safety.
"As part of my strong plan for Burleigh, this will make improvements to the Gold Coast Highway to reduce the time spent in traffic and make travelling safer and more efficient."
"Only the LNP has a strong team with a strong plan for a stronger Burleigh with less time on better roads."

THE BLACK-EYED SNAKES
"Look to a place where Low, The Fall, and Willie Dixon all have something to say to one another. Then dance fool." That's how Spin Magazine's Andrew Beaujon rolled up the Black-eyed Snakes, a genre-bending electric blues band from Duluth, MN fronted by LOW's and Retribution Gospel Choir's Alan Sparhawk. Cascading, entrancing beats push thick, raunchy, sometimes-psychedelic guitars into the soul like a lost love or a knife in the back. "The jagged-toothed edge of the guitar alone could saw through every fiber of your emotional restraint," wrote Melissa Maerz in City Pages.
Sparhawk formed the Black-eyed Snakes in 2000 with Bob Olson on guitar and Brad Nelson on drums. The following year the outfit was named Minnesota's Best New Band by Minneapolis' City Pages. "In his beat-thwacking, voice-distorting, primal blooze threesome," wrote Peter Scholtes about the award, "he has something to tell us, and it goes a little something like this: 'People, have you heard of a better day?' … 'That's called hope.' … Black Eyed Snakes fans seem caught up in that old Minnesota yearning for a Southern blur of intemperance and contrition, Saturday night and Sunday morning rolled into one."
After supporting the band's first two releases, It's The Black-eyed Snakes and Rise Up! with national and European tours, and sharing stages with The Jayhawks, Wilco, The Mars Volta and many others, the band slowed down to a crawl. But in the past 18 months, The Black-eyed Snakes have emerged from the mud—performing more and writing new material. They've recorded with Charlie Parr. They performed at the 2011 Midwest Music Fest and the 2012 Duluth Dylan Fest "Blood On the Tracks Express," a rolling music festival on a train. The Black-eyed Snakes were shut down before the train reached it's final stop though—the conductor seemed sure the crowd's dancing was about to derail the train.

On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will pass over the United States. Unfortunately, from California, we will only be able to witness a partial eclipse, but the sight will still be incredible to witness and an opportunity for your kids to learn more about science!
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's orbit around Earth brings it directly between us and the sun. The moon blocks the sun's light and casts a shadow on Earth, creating the eclipse. There are three types of solar eclipses: total, partial, and annular.
Total eclipses occur when the moon completely blocks out the sun. It can only be seen by those directly in the center of the moon's shadow.
Partial eclipses occur when the moon blocks only part of the sun. Because California will not be in the center of the moon's shadow on August 21, we will only see a partial eclipse.
If the moon blocks the sun directly while its orbit is at its farthest from Earth, an annular eclipse occurs. Because the moon is farther away, it appears smaller, not blocking out all of the sun's rays, leaving a ring of sunlight creeping through around the moon during the eclipse.
While most of us in California won't see the total solar eclipse shown in the video above, learning about the event, and possibly viewing the partial eclipse, can still be a huge benefit to your child's view of science. It's an opportunity for them to learn about a scientific experience as it occurs, compared to learning about eclipses that have already happened or are yet to. The event can spark an interest in science and space, and gives you a chance to teach your child more about our solar system and other amazing scientific phenomena.
Unless you're up for a road trip to reach a location where the total eclipse will be in sight, the partial eclipse will be visible locally (weather permitting) from about 9:06 am to 11:45 am PST. In Anaheim, the eclipse will peak at 10:21 am with 61.4% of the sun covered by the moon. Viewers will want to find an area not too obstructed by buildings, where they'll have a clear view of the sky. Since the event will occur during work and school hours, it may be impossible for your child and yourself to view, but you can encourage your child's teacher to talk about the event and you can also discuss it later at home.
For those who will be able to view the eclipse, it must be viewed with the utmost safety! Since only part of the sun will be eclipsed, it will be unsafe to view without eclipse glasses or by pinhole projection. Follow these instructions to make a pinhole projector for the event.
Whether or not your family is able to witness the partial eclipse, you can still use the occasion to teach your child more about science and space. Follow our STEM Exploration board on Pinterest for solar eclipse activities and facts that will help your child understand the phenomenon and the science behind it.


Healthy soil or growing medium means your plants have the best possible chance of a long, productive and healthy life cycle. Most soils are loaded with nutrients, too bad it can be difficult for your plant to get what it needs when it needs it. This is the main reason it takes a high nutrient input to make sure your plants grow optimally. Read more about some of the simple, and amazing things you can do for your soil here.
From water rights to water treatment, this vital component of all life has become over complicated too. Here in Oregon we've got RAIN….lots of rain. Enough rain in fact to water most gardens year round, legally and basically for free. We explore some of the issues and options in our Water Blog.
Here in the Willamette Valley we live in a sub-tropical rainforest and average more than 3.5 feet (yes feet) of rainfall a year – or approximately 43,560 gallons per acre per year. According to the UN, the EPA and several other sources, the average per capita water use is around 69.3 gallons a day – 26k gallons a year. Outdoor usage can be much higher. That's a lot of water on both sides of the equation. Numbers of course are only numbers, what is more important are cost, availability, quality and even access to water.
Our first water harvesting project happened from a desire to not have to use city water for the garden, and to not have to water the tomatoes. Enter one plastic barrel, a blue one, some pvc pipe and fittings, a trough float and a bunch of 5 gallon buckets: viola, a self-watering tomato garden. It worked too, but there was a lot of trial and error, wasted time, effort, money and of course patience.
It wasn't hard to recognize that, for all the information on the internet, there wasn't a single person I could go talk to, get recommendations on parts or design from, or maybe pick up a spare tote from. Of course, having never met a need we didn't feel compelled to try and fill, we put together what has become oregonrains.com.
From rooftop or well to storage, filtering and application, we're daily adding to our knowledge base and to our DIY kits, plans, components and contractors. If we can't help you with it, we'll find you someone who can.
At Oregon Rains, we pride ourselves in using only organic, premium quality ingredients in our Ocean Harvest Products.
From the pure sea minerals from both Port Orford and the Sea of Cortez, to our Organic Molasses from Glory Bee right here in Oregon, to our home cultured microbes: quality in means quality results.
After concentrating and rinsing our sea mineral extract in de-chlorinated water to remove 97% of the sodium, we then anaerobically brew Ocean Harvest under controlled conditions for 3 weeks before it's ready for bottling, mixing and testing every 12 hours to ensure consistent results every time.
All of our products are tested at multiple independent laboratories to ensure quality, safety and exact contents and their ratios.

The 'big three' credit rating agencies questioned by UN for their 'subjectivity'
Tuesday, October 13th 2015 - 07:26 UTC
Full article 10 comments
UNCTAD argues rating agencies methods are unclear, as the factors considered in the analysis are mentioned but their weight is never specified.
The reliability of the big three agencies, however, is still under fire for their role in 2008's financial crisis.
But credit rating agencies are still of relevance for the financial sector, despite "their disastrously inaccurate ratings assessments prior to major crises,"
Credit ratings agencies have been questioned by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), who says they favor countries with a certain ideological bent.
The so-called "big three" ratings agencies, S&P's, Moody's and Fitch, are key to establishing what interest rates sovereign countries and private companies pay for debt issues, as they control 95% of the ratings market and their outlook is used as guidance by investors across the globe.
But according to UNCTAD, their method for doing so is unclear, as the factors considered in the analysis are mentioned but their weight is never specified.
That allows room for a large degree of subjectivity, its yearly Trade and Development Report issued last week argues, and in this case the agencies' bias is usually "against most kinds of government intervention."
"There's a marked ideological bias and that's a notorious problem for Argentina when you compared the ratings of the last years with those of the 1990s. There have been big downgrades despite clear improvements in debt sustainability figures," economist Pablo Bortz, who presented the report last week in Buenos Aires, told Noticias Argentinas.
In a study encompassing 51 developing countries, the three major credit ratings agencies' sovereign debt ratings correlated better with the evaluation that the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation makes on how much those countries respect certain key free-market principles than on how well they are doing on what is usually accepted as key variables for analyzing debt sustainability.
The econometric model "indicates a close linear fit between (the agencies') ratings and the following variables estimated by the Heritage Foundation: labor freedom, fiscal freedom, business freedom and financial freedom. However, these variables appear to have barely any relation to the countries' fundamentals, which would determine their ability to service sovereign debt."
UNCTAD contrasts this with the "much weaker correlation when their ratings are regressed on the four most relevant variables used in the standard macroeconomic literature to asses debt dynamics: the level of the primary budget surplus, the government-debt-to-GDP ratio, economic growth and the current account balance."
Their statistical analysis also shows that the three agencies ratings strongly correlate with each other, a fact that according to Bortz shows that no real competition is taking place between them. "There is a need for a less concentrated market because the three ratings agencies move in the same direction," Bortz said.
The reliability of those agencies, however, is still under fire for their role in 2008's financial crisis.
Multiple analysts said that the fact that those agencies' were paid by corporate issuers to grade their bonds skewed their perspective in favor of the issuers. If issuers were not offered a positive rating, they could look for a rival agency that would rate their bonds higher, the argument went, creating a climate of unchecked optimism on the quality of those assets that helped inflate the bubble the finally burst in 2008.
Downgrades and upgrades have also been criticized for triggering massive selloffs and buying sprees, which cause sudden shifts in market prices and increase volatility. Recently, Brazil's economy took a strong turn for the worse after it lost its investment grade from Standard and Poor's.
"Credit rating agencies are still of relevance for the financial sector, despite their disastrously inaccurate ratings assessments prior to major crises," UNCTAD's document stated.
That has led to calls for reform from organisms that include the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), ranging from changing who pays for the ratings agency's services in order to avoid conflicts of interest to extending public sector involvement in the creation of ratings and forcing banks to return to their old role of assessing credit viability.

Always listen to the UN! Don't listen to those biased ratings agencies, their "ideologies" have made their ratings unrepresentative of the real world.
One only has to look with their own eyes and ignore those biased ratings and they will see the real truth of things. The following countries are in reality doing quite well currently and people should invest in them. Nobody knows about them because they are being hidden by those evil ratings agencies. Invest early!

What a strange situation. Wouldn't we expect a UN report to be presented first to the UN? "Pablo Bortz" sounds like an argie. Does anybody know who or what he is?
Here's a strange statement from him "There's a marked ideological bias and that's a notorious problem for Argentina when you compared the ratings of the last years with those of the 1990s. There have been big downgrades despite clear improvements in debt sustainability figures," economist Pablo Bortz, who presented the report last week in Buenos Aires, told Noticias Argentinas.
Perhaps the credit agencies take into account other factors. Like there's Indec (Illegitimate No_truth Devious Economic Criminals) that just makes figures up according to what the "government" wants. The 10-12 years argieland has spent trying to evade its debts. The lies such as the Kirchner assertion about argieland's level of poverty. Just knock 20% off, why don't you?
Corruption, criminality and murder are the "values" of south america. Particularly brazil.

New Source of T-Rays
Devices using terahertz radiation could lead to applications in security screening, chemical sensing and more
By Gregory Mone | Published May 19, 2008 5:58 PM
Terahertz radiation, or T-rays, can see through clothing, paper, cardboard and numerous other materials, so scientists have been touting their potential for years. A T-ray-based imager could spot concealed weapons hidden under a person's clothes or even identify tumors without inducing any bad side effects.
Now scientists at Harvard University have developed a prototype device that moves portable terahertz scanners a little closer to reality. Previously, the radiation sources were just too big and complex. The Harvard group used commercially-available nano-technology to develop a device that works at room temperature, and doesn't have to be cryogenically-cooled, like previous versions. "Terahertz imaging and sensing is a very promising but relatively new technology that requires compact, portable and tunable sources to achieve widespread penetration," says one of the lead scientists, Federico Capasso. "Our devices are an important first step in this direction."
The work is published in the latest issue of Applied Physics Letters.

The Compound Interest service allows you to payout interest on your users points balances. Interest is compounded daily and you can select if you want to payout weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually.
You can set the interest rate both globally and individually for each user. You can also select if users must have a minimum amount of points for interest to compound on their account and select which users to exclude based on user ID or by role.
When you enable the add-on for the first time, we are required to set when you want to start compounding interest on accounts. This is done by setting the year, month, day and hour and of course it must be in the future and not in the past.
Once started, you will see the date for the next schedule faded in the table. You can at any time, change this by entering in a new year, month, day and time. Even if you only want to change one field, all fields must be filled out!
You can select to payout daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannually or annually. To enable this add-on you must set the first payout date and based on your "Payout Frequency" settings, the service will schedule the next one once it completes the first one. Do not schedule payout to run on the same hour as the compound schedule! Preferably, the compounding should run before payout, both running at the same time will result in incorrect payouts.
Just like the Daily Compound Schedule, you can change the payout schedule at any time.

Q: Music Bot Not Queueing Songs I am using discord.py rewrite and I am making a do it all bot with cogs. One of the cogs I am using incorporates a music bot into it. I have the music playing but i'm trying to add a queue and any time it tries to add to the queue it says it does, but then after the current song is over it doesn't play anything. No errors, no anything. It just doesn't play. Any ideas
Code:
@commands.command()
async def play(self, ctx, url):
    async with ctx.typing():
        player = await YTDLSource.from_url(url, loop=self.bot.loop, stream=True)
        if len(self.queue) == 0:
            self.queue[len(self.queue)] = player
            self.start_playing(ctx.voice_client, player)
            await ctx.send(f':mag_right: **Searching for** ``' + url + '``\n<:youtube:763374159567781890> **Now Playing:** ``{}'.format(player.title) + "``")
        else:
            self.queue[len(self.queue)] = player
            await ctx.send(f':mag_right: **Searching for** ``' + url + '``\n<:youtube:763374159567781890> **Added to queue:** ``{}'.format(player.title) + "``")
def start_playing(self, voice_client, player):
    self.queue[0] = player
    i = 0
    while i <  len(self.queue):
        try:
            voice_client.play(self.queue[i], after=lambda e: print(f' has finished playing.'))

        except:
            pass
        i += 1

The Circuit Court also serves as the appellate court in civil cases appealed from the General District Court and Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, typically child support, custody and visitation matters.
The Circuit Court has concurrent jurisdiction with the General District Court in civil cases where the monetary claim is at least $4,500 and not more that $25,000. Civil matters involving more that $25,000 are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court.
Civil cases relating to domestic relations such as divorce and annulment matters are heard exclusively in the Circuit Court. Domestic relations matters involving child support, custody and visitation may originate in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court and not the Circuit Court, depending on the factors involved in the case.
When a civil case is filed in the Circuit Court, the Complainant is responsible for making sure that all pleadings are prepared in accordance with the Rules of the Supreme Court and the Code of Virginia. The Circuit Court does not provide pleading forms for use by parties in civil suits. It is therefore strongly recommended that pro se parties seek the services of an attorney when filing an action in the Circuit Court.
Please note that Clerk's Office staff are strictly prohibited by law from providing legal advice.
The Supreme Court of Virginia has a civil filing fee calculation system which can be assessed through their website. Please be aware that there are frequent changes to the civil filing fee schedule. If you have specific questions about the calculations or if the case type is not listed, please contact the civil division of this court for further information.
A cover sheet (PDF) for filing civil actions (form cc-1416) is required by this court.

61 years of indecision…is Ghana finally getting it right?
MediaACET in the News61 years of indecision…is Ghana finally getting it right?
How can West Africa benefit most from the extractive industries?
Ghana, a country rich in every sense of the word, has had a chequered history. While not attempting to tell the complete history of the country in one article, as Ghana marks its 61st independence anniversary, it is worth recounting key economic and socio-political events that have shaped the fortunes of a country founded on the principles of Freedom and Justice.
The country has experimented and tried different models of economic development with varying results post-independence. The first decade after independence saw the country embark on grandeur projects that were meant to serve as the socio-economic foundation on which the future prosperous Ghana was to be built.
Notable investments in the agricultural sector included: construction of silos to store excess food, establishment of many plantations, and the setting up of animal farms. There was heavy investment in sea ports – Tema and Takoradi – and aerodromes; construction of a dual-carriage highway between the then less-populated industrial city of Tema and Accra; and construction of railway lines from major mineral-rich areas to the port of Takoradi to facilitate exports of gold, diamond, timber and other resources.
Indeed, a few years after independence, the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, according to varied scholars, increased by about 47 percent – from US$181 to about US$260. This was comparable to the GDP of Asian giants Malaysia and Thailand.
Malaysia as at 1960 had a GDP per capita of US$234, while Thailand could boast a GDP per capita of US$100. Things however changed rapidly, and economic gains made were eroded.
The economic fortunes of Ghana, like the rest of Africa, have shone and faded – leaving that country during the early 1990s in a "state of arrested development, unable to make the 'leap' to Africa's next, as yet uncertain, phase of economic evolution".
After years of economic gloom, Ghana was ready in 1992 to start a new chapter. The country opened up for private capital and adopted a new constitution to reflect its new thinking. The Bretton Wood institutions – the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) – were willing supporters of the country's new quest to develop, as lucrative offers were wrapped in clogging reforms and demands.
The country struggled through the period and recorded some modest political reforms, establishing some very important state institutions that served as the foundation for successive governments.
A study on the Impact of Democratic Political Transition on the Economy of Ghana, by Kwabena Asomanin Anaman notes that: "The 1984 to 2010 period is the longest stretch of continuous growth in Ghana with positive annual growth in each year, with growth ranging from 3.2 percent in 1984 to a high of 8.4 percent".
In 2000, an election year which saw the incumbent government lose power, annual economic growth was only 3.7 percent. This was caused by external trade and financial shocks, low internal production, and relatively limited room for government overspending.
The 2001 election ushered the country into a new economic era. Heavily indebted and out of options, Ghana signed up to the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries programme to have some debts 'forgiven'.
The HIPC initiative was designed to provide debt-relief to cash-strapped countries based on the implementation of poverty-alleviation strategies prescribed by the IMF and the World Bank.
President John Agyekum Kufuor in 2001 said: "We did not take the decision to join HIPC as a political trick or gimmick, but as an opportunity to take a breather to pursue medium- to long-term targets".
Debts were forgiven, a new lease of life in the economy saw the influx of foreign capital into its various sectors. The banking, telecom, media, real estate sectors saw some large investments. Others were the automobile, ICT and agro-processing sectors.
The economy rebounded and GDP grew. Per Capita GDP as at 2000 was US$1,305. This increased to a high of US$1,841 in 2013.
Asomanin Anaman found that: "The opposite growth rate occurred in 2008 when the incumbent government lost power. Economic growth reached about 8.4 percent in 2008, achieved through very high government spending that was made possible by the financial space created through massive foreign debt cancellation in 2006 – involving the forgiveness of two-thirds of Ghana's external debts.
Indeed, we took two steps back in our 'witches dance'. Per capita GDP reduced from US$1,841 in 2013 to US$1,426 in 2014. It further reduced to US$1,325 in 2015.
Given the mixed results, Anaman (2016) concludes that: "There is a mixed picture of positive and negative effects from the impact of democratic political transition on economic growth".
In as much as the country is seen as a beacon of democracy in a rough West African neighbourhood, the democratic progression has not reflected in our economic journey thus far.
With the election of a new government in 2016, there has been renewed interest in the country's economy, with over US$6billion total investments recorded—Foreign Direct Investment constituting some US$4billion in 2017.
The numerous projects rolled out by the current government, including the "Planting for Food and Jobs programme", "One District, One factory", and construction of dams in farming villages of northern Ghana, are but a few of the initiatives that have attracted the investment community's attention.
As many as 191 companies have been identified under the 'One District, One Factory' initiative to undertake projects in 102 districts, with the potential of creating 250,000 jobs when implemented.
The regional breakdown of the companies by region are: Ashanti 35, Brong Ahafo 19, Central 21, Eastern 34, Greater Accra 28, Northern 17, Upper East 4, Upper West 5, Western 10, and Volta 18.
Government has emphasised that the 'One District, One Factory' programme will be a vehicle to revive the country's ailing manufacturing sector, and add value to agriculture.
Besides the 'One District, One Factory' initiative, the Akufo-Addo government has said it will pursue an aggressive industrialisation agenda that should further create jobs.
Unemployment remain a major issue facing the country. Prof. William Baah-Boateng of the Department of Economics, University of Ghana – Speaking at a recent Ghana Policy Dialogue on job-creation for the youth, organised by the Africa Centre for Economic Transformation (ACET) – noted that: "From the demand side, we realise that the country is not generating sufficient jobs to absorb the rising number of unemployed people into the labour market every year.
The decades-old housing deficit of over 1.5million units is also a major issue that must be tackled. As the number of people living in urban areas grows, it is prudent to fix the housing challenges now.
Densely populated urban areas with inadequate shelter for inhabitants and poor sanitation, are hot-beds for diseases.
As the country marks 61 years of independence, it is time to truly 'build' on the good from the past and eschew politically-minded policies. Developmental projects that are citizen-centred must be supported by all. The Black Star must shine brighter than before.

Q: Android intent как "Поделиться" двумя строками? Я пытался сделать встроенный редактор JSON в своём Android приложении.
Одна из функций этого редактора - возможность отправить имя файла и его содержимое в любое приложение.
Мне нужно передать не как файл, а как текст, поскольку при передаче текста через KDEconnect на ПК открывается текстовый редактор с этим текстом.
Я написал следующий код:
public void shareFile(View view) {
        Intent sharingIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sharingIntent.setType("text/html");
        sharingIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(fileName.getText().toString() + "<br>" + fileContent.getText().toString()));
        startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sharingIntent,getString(R.string.action_share)));
    }

У меня такой код выдаёт то, что ни одно приложение это не поддерживает:

Я это побывал на эмуляторе, на котором есть программа отправки e-mail и SMS.
Почти любая программа e-mail и SMS может читать 2 строки...
После этого я взял код с сайта Android Developers. У меня получилось открыть приложение отправки SMS, но e-mail всё ещё не предлагает.
public void shareFile(View view) {
        Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
        sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, fileName.getText().toString() + "\n" + fileContent.getText().toString());
        sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
        if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
            startActivity(sendIntent);
        }
    }

Почему это не работает?

A: Запустить этот код на телефоне (на эмуляторе работать не будет):
public void shareFile(View view) {
        Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
        sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, fileName.getText().toString() + "\n" + fileContent.getText().toString());
        sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
        if (sendIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
            startActivity(sendIntent);
        }
    }

HTML не подходит, поскольку его не принимают некоторые программы (например SMS)

We are hosting a silent meditation retreat in San Francisco!
Retreats involve an extended period of Noble Silence, meaning that there's very little talking, activity, or distraction. During these retreats, you will be able to maximize the amount of time each day that you spend meditating. There will be a daily check-in with 1:1 instruction as well as a nightly dharma talk with Q&A from the group. Meditators of all levels are welcome.
**** Note: The cost of the retreat is a sliding scale of $180 - $280, which includes housing as well as vegetarian meals and snacks for the weekend. This amount does not include dana, which is a sliding scale donation to the teacher for his time and teachings.
To secure your spot, book on Eventbrite or pay some amount between $180-$280 to June through Venmo @junelin or PayPal hi@junelin.com if you want to save on the cost of the fee. Please note: Eventbrite will only allow us to charge 1 fee amount, so if you're interested in paying something along the sliding scale, please use Venmo or PayPal.
The retreat house is a 5 bedroom house in Cole Valley. Attendants will be expected to share a room with another attendant. If you would like more privacy, it is also possible to bring a tent and camp in the backyard.
