The Nigerian Export-Import Bank on Thursday gave approval for the disbursement of the sum of N25bn to exporters in the non-oil sector.
The move is part of efforts aimed at stimulating the non-oil sector to become a major foreign exchange earner for the country.
The development was confirmed by the Managing Director, NEXIM Bank, Mr Abba Bello, on Thursday in Abuja.
He said the approval of the N25bn facility followed a review of various applications under the Export Development Fund.
The review, according to him, was done at a meeting of the Board of Directors held on Thursday in Abuja.
Bello said the N25bn loan approved for non-oil exporters was expected to support about 15,000 direct and indirect jobs, and facilitate foreign exchange inflow of about $100m from non-oil exports.
He stated, "The Nigerian Export-Import Bank has approved the disbursement of loans totalling about N25bn in support of various projects in the non-oil export sector.
The NEXIM Bank boss explained that the facility would be disbursed to exporters of agricultural and value-added products, who submitted applications for working capital to enable them execute their export contracts.
He added, "It is expected that disbursement will commence immediately to maximise the benefits of the export season towards achieving the economic diversification objectives of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari under the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan," Bello added.
The Central Bank of Nigeria established the N50bn Export Development Fund to be disbursed at single digit, which is currently being managed by NEXIM.

On today's bizarre Chelsea transfer rumours
By Graham MacAree Aug 23, 2012, 4:13pm BST
Share All sharing options for: On today's bizarre Chelsea transfer rumours
There's little more than a week to go until the end of the transfer deadline, and that means we're going to start seeing increasingly outlandish rumours floating around. Naturally, we'd prefer they be ignored entirely, but people are going to talk about them no matter what, so we might as well have our say.
Today, the intertubes have two juicy Chelsea rumours for us. The first is that the Blues have rejected a £30M approach from Manchester City for Brazilian centre half David Luiz, who missed Wednesday's match against Reading with a minor knee injury. Secondly, we have the news that Daniel Sturridge remains a target of Liverpool.
What do these rumours have in common? They're taking a polarising Chelsea player and linking them with a transfer elsewhere. We all know that both Sturridge and David Luiz take a lot of criticism for their styles of play, and that many Blues fans would like to see them moved on. That makes them great fodder for transfer rumours*, because talking about them leaving will generate plenty of hits.
*Especially David Luiz, because you can generate a emotional reaction from his diehard fans and the folks who think he's worthless.
They're also similar in that they're talking about Chelsea losing players from positions where they have absolutely no depth. Chelsea have four senior centre backs. One of them plays right back and has a habit of getting himself sent off from. One of them is injury prone and looking at a potential ban from the FA. There's basically no cover in the centre of defence -- we don't even have Jose Bosingwa to put there anymore.
At centre forward, we're incredibly thin. Now that Romelu Lukaku's headed out on loan, after Fernando Torres and Sturridge, there is basically nobody. On the summer tour, we ended up playing 18-year-old Lucas Piazon out of position at centre forward. That should be a pretty big indicator that our depth there is most accurately described as 'lolsy'.
So why are we getting rumours about losing either Sturridge or David Luiz? Because we'll read them. Seriously, unless we get major, unexpected reinforcements at either centre forward or the defence, neither player is going anywhere.

Minimum tax on services rendered by permanent establishments of non-resident persons
Posted on September 20, 2018 November 4, 2022 by Muhammad Waheed Ensari
Minimum tax on services rendered by permanent establishments of non-resident persons: Prior to the Finance Act, 2018 the tax deducted under clause (b) of subsection (2A) of section 152 of the Ordinance from payments made to permanent establishments of non-resident persons for provision/rendering of services was adjustable against their tax liability whereas the tax deducted/deductible under clause (b) of sub-section (1) of section 153 of the Ordinance from payments made on account of provision or rendering of services to resident persons constituted minimum tax in terms of clause (b) of sub-section (3) of section 153 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
However, reduced rate of minimum tax @ 2% of the gross amount of turnover from all sources is available to various specified sectors rendering services as delineated in clause (94) of Part-IV of the Second Schedule to the Ordinance.
Therefore prior to the Finance Act, 2018 resident persons providing or rendering services were in a disadvantageous position viz-a-viz permanent establishments of non-resident persons involved in the rendering/ provision of services.
In order to create a level playing field for resident persons rendering services viz-a-viz non-resident persons rendering services a new sub-section (2B) has been inserted in section 152 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 through the Finance Act, 2018 whereby the tax deducted under clause (b) of sub-section (2A) of section 152 of the Ordinance in respect of payments made to permanent establishments of non-residents for provision of services has been made minimum tax.
Moreover, as stipulated in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of clause (b) of sub-section (3) of section 153 of the Ordinance, a company (being a permanent establishment of a non-resident person and a filer) rendering services in the sectors specified in clause (94) of Part-IV of the Second Schedule to the Ordinance shall be entitled to carry forward excess amount of minimum tax paid @ 2% of the gross amount of turnover from all sources viz-a-viz the normal tax liability of such company for a maximum of five tax years immediately succeeding the year in which the excess was first paid.
Additionally, in a manner akin to a resident company which is entitled to issuance of an exemption certificate by the Commissioner under sub-section (4A) of section 153 of the Ordinance upon fulfillment of certain conditions, a company being a permanent establishment of a non-resident person and falling within the ambit of clause (94) of Part-I of the Second Schedule to the Ordinance may also, pursuant to the Finance Act, 2018 be issued an exemption certificate by the concerned Commissioner for a period of at least three months subject to making advance payment of tax @ 2% of the total turnover of the corresponding period of the immediately preceding year.

difference in GUI & CLI in command execution
gr8linux Posts: 26
May 2009 in Getting Started with Linux
some commands give different output in graphical terminal and command line, why they do so?
e.g. $ echo -e "\033[5m"
will set blinking text in CLI mode but it wont work in Xterm........ why???
there are many commands with this problem.
poundjd Posts: 3
Actually it is not a "problem". the CLI was and for many remains the primary interface to the system. Almost all commands were writen to work with the CLI. there are lots of special cases like that that enhance the CLI. These special cases are not input to the command but are processes by the shell or CLI. Xterm does not process these shell commands. that is why the same string will produce different effects in a CLI and Xtem command windows.
-jeff
and what abt when a command gives output on xterm but not on CLI
e.g. echo -e "\033[1m"
will bold the text on xterm but wont affect the CLI.................
shell are the same on both xterm & CLI......... then why it happens?
is it a case of some capabilities of shell or something else...........
woboyle Posts: 501
The effect of escape sequences (special strings of characters that control terminal operation) varies from terminal to terminal. The basic xterm is I believe a VT-120 terminal emulator, so the VT-100/120 terminal sequences apply. The console command line may be different, as might be the KDE or Gnome console windows CLI.
Back in the days before GUI's were common, there were dozens of different terminal manufacturers, and most had their own sets of commands, which is what terminal emulators sprang from, so that a generic program could emulate any of these terminals, such as HP, IBM, DEC, Qume, Tektronix, etc. In my deep, dark past I wrote a terminal emulator program that could use the termcap file for any terminal to drive its internal state machine and convert that into the actual terminal you were running on. It was a pretty slick bit of work, if I have to say so for myself. I used it as a component in an implementation of the Telnet client I wrote so that it could run full-screen applications on any system, even those that had no termcap database, simply by emulating the standard terminal for that system. HP systems were popular.


Pennsylvania plans to join a high-stakes competition for the chance to assemble the Boeing Co.'s new 777X jet, a competition that likely will require the players to pony up tax breaks and other economic incentives in hopes of winning.
The commonwealth intends to submit a proposal to Boeing by the deadline today in a bid to land the jetliner's production and lure thousands of well-paying jobs from Everett, Wash.
"Any time there's an opportunity to attract jobs and investment to the commonwealth, we're certainly going to do that," said Steven Kratz, spokesman for the state Department of Community and Economic Development.
But Pennsylvania hardly is alone. The competition for the assembly plant — and the 8,500 jobs it could create at its peak — is likely to be fierce. As many as 12 to 15 states received invitations from the Chicago-based jet manufacturer to bid for the plant, with the goal to start production of the 777X in 2017.
Hazelwood leaders don't want the neighborhood to find itself on the wrong side of the railroad tracks separating it from the former LTV Steel Co. site along the Monongahela River.
If a $1 billion investment goes as planned, the sprawling brownfield site would become home to offices, housing, retailers and light industry.
As large machines prepare the 178 acres for development, groups such as the city's Urban Redevelopment Authority, Hazelwood Initiative and ACTION-Housing Inc. are working to prepare the distressed neighborhood for growth.
"We don't want people to just stay on the LTV site. We want them to get into the neighborhood," said Councilman Corey O'Connor, who represents Hazelwood, where LTV had the city's last operating steel mill.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority board Thursday authorized entering into exclusive negotiations with ACTION-Housing and Telesis Corp., which have partnered to buy the Spahr Building on Second Avenue in Hazelwood and create a cultural center for the faith-based neighborhood nonprofit Center of Life and a restaurant and/or catering business.
In a second phase, ACTION-Housing and Telesis propose to buy 25 vacant URA-owned lots in one block on each side of Second Avenue, between Hazelwood and Flowers avenues, to build new housing and retail space. The board approved an 18-month negotiation period for that project, "a longer period because we want the public to be engaged in the process," said Tom Cummings, director of housing for the URA.
For years, the three nondescript buildings on Wood Street rarely drew a second glance, let alone a first. Now, after nearly $1 million in renovations, some folks can't believe what they're seeing.
"Some of them were trying to get photographs of what they looked like before because they didn't believe they had walked by these buildings without noticing them," architect Milton Ogot said of a few friends and colleagues and even some passersby.
Once the plainest of Janes in a drab stretch of Wood between Fourth and Forbes avenues, the "three sisters" now stand out like diamonds on black velvet, thanks to the work of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.
That is Geoffrey Leah's way of saying that the old is being used again inside the former Mellon Bank on Smithfield Street, the ornate building controversially stripped of much of its grandeur when it was converted into a Lord & Taylor department store more than a decade ago.
The new owner, PNC Financial Services Group, is hoping to restore some of that splendor — piece by piece, in some cases — as part of its plan to reuse the city historic structure as a call center.
"What we're trying to do is take the bones of the building and keep the architectural and historic significance, and do whatever we can to not disrupt the original structure in any way," said Gary Saulson, PNC executive vice president and director of corporate real estate.
While PNC has no way of fully restoring the majestic four-story, open air bank hall with its marble Ionic columns — Lord & Taylor turned the structure into four floors of department store retail — the bank intends to incorporate as many original architectural features as possible into the new design.

Q: Navigation properties not set when using ADO.NET Mocking Context Generator I am using ADO.NET Mocking Context Generator plugin for my Entity Framework model. I have not started on using mocks yet, just trying to fix generated entity and context classes to make application run as before without exceptions. I've already fixed T4 template to support SaveChanges method.
Now I've got another problem: when I try to access any navigation property it is set to null.
All the primitive fields inherited from DB table are set and correct.
So what I am doing is the following
using (var context = MyContext())
{
      var order = context.Orders.Where(p => p.Id == 7);
      var product = order.Products;
}

in this case product is set to null. But that was not a case while using default code generator, it used to return real product object.
Thanks ahead for any suggestions!

A: I tried to fix t4 template and nothing helped. So I gave up on ADO.NET Mocking Context Generator template and switched to ADO.NET POCO Entity Generator template. I followed the steps mentioned here http://slappyza.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/getting-the-entity-framework-to-generate-an-interface-for-mocking/
But instead of RhinoMock for testing I used Moq library.
And it finally worked!

Web Startup Puts a Digital Spin on Collecting Autographs
Athletes and fans share memories through electronic autographs.
June 17, 2013, 4:18 PM UTC / Source: Entrepreneur.com
By Matt Villano
Editor's Note: Egraphs has gone out of business since this article's publication in the May 2013 issue.
Seattle-based Egraphs puts a digital spin on the traditional autograph, blending an electronic version of an athlete's signature with sound files that capture the star delivering personal greetings or advice. Here's how it works: A fan submits a request for an e-graph from, say, Stephen Curry of the NBA's Golden State Warriors. Egraphs forwards the request to Curry, who uses a proprietary iPad application to sign a digital image file of himself on his iPad and record an audio message. Egraphs authenticates the document, and within about two weeks the fan receives a link to view and download Curry's message.

How It Started
As an executive for pro baseball's Tampa Bay Rays, Egraphs co-founder Brian Auld noticed the proliferation of players using iPads in the clubhouse. He wondered if there was a way to leverage those tablets to make it easier for the athletes to interact with fans. He recruited his tech-whiz brother David to build a platform that became Egraphs.com. In 2011 they secured $1 million in seed funding to bring it to market.
"I know that immediately before and after games, these guys have lots of time on their hands," David Auld says--time he figured could be used to make some extra dough signing autographs.
Why It Took Off
The 300-plus participating athletes like Egraphs because they are signing personalized autographs for true fans, not money-hungry collectors who turn around and resell a signature for twice the price. Fans love it because the messages are truly for them. Notes have included everything from words of encouragement to recommendations for the best lobster roll in Boston. And it's convenient: Fans can download an e-graph onto a computer, display it anywhere they like and forward it to a friend.
"It's not about creating something with investment value," Auld says. "It's about creating something with sentimental value."
Pricing ranges from about $25 to $100, depending on the athlete; customers can order a framed photograph print of the autograph for an additional $45. Auld says players receive the "majority" of proceeds from each sale, while photographers get a commission and the league gets a small cut. The remainder goes to Egraphs.
Pro baseball and basketball athletes dominate Egraphs' roster, but this year Auld expanded into NASCAR and is looking for other leagues to tap. At some point he wants to add musicians to the mix. "We look at ourselves as vertical agnostic," he says. "Any place where stars might want to connect with their fans, we can be there."

Let's go to the last election results in two of India's largest states: Bihar and Uttar Pradesh (UP). As it is well known, the BJP-Narendra Modi juggernaut swept to an absolute all-India victory in the national elections of 2014. No need for an alliance to form the central government. This victory has been interpreted as a repudiation of the past policies consisting of half-measures and appeasement adopted by the outgoing government.
Like Labour and the MMM here in Mauritius, the pre-2014 alliance in power in India counted on the loyalty of past followers and electoral trends to secure victory at the polls. Little did it realise that the tide had turned against political apathy and politics-as-usual.
When it came to the state elections in Bihar late in 2015, many assumed that the national Modi wave would also work wonders in the state with its 67 million voters. Nothing of the sort happened. On the contrary, the BJP secured only 53 out of the 243 Assembly seats, down from the 91 seats it held in the previous Assembly in the state.
The reason the BJP-Modi magic didn't work in Bihar was that the ruling Nitish Kumar state government (which had formed a grand alliance with like-minded parties against the BJP) was not far to seek. Nitish Kumar's previous government in the state had spent its term extending the provision of basic needs of his state's mainly underserved rural population. It had devoted resources to building infrastructure, the most significant of which was the extension of the electricity grid to places that had remained in the dark after sunset for ages. It secured a thumping majority with 178 out of the 243 State Assembly seats.
Elections played out quite differently in March 2017 in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP), which hosts 141 million voters. Here is a state whose essentially past caste politics had made politics a matter of separate representation in the State Assembly – essentially a struggle to secure power among distinct factions. As a result, the law and order situation had worsened, with violence on the rise. Corruption and poverty were rife. The people were impoverished. The education system had gone into a deplorable state. The state also had one of the worst infrastructures of all India.
Given a chance to move out of this morass, people voted massively for the alternative Modi-led BJP last March, in the hope something concrete will be done to improve their lot. The BJP and allies secured 325 Assembly seats out of 403, 278 higher than what they had in the previous Assembly.
Parties which had dominated UP state politics heretofore, like the Samajwadi Party and Congress, lost as many as 198 seats they held in the previous Assembly and the BSP 61 of them.
In Bihar, the party in power had implemented policies which had kept improving the day-to-day life of people, especially in the rural areas where deprivation was worst under preceding corrupt governments. Having to choose between this party and the BJP, voters preferred to trust the one who had already delivered concrete positive improvements in what touched them nearest in day-to-day life. On the other hand, the BJP, as the challenger, routed the previous power holders in UP: voters decided that they could not be worse off than they had been.
Sophisticated discussions on issues among power holders do not reach out to people's basic needs or improve their sometimes bleak prospects. Welfare of the masses who vote such politicians to power, is not thereby raised. People are moving away from power politicians who do not deal constructively with the mundane difficulties people face every day.
Endless political discussions which don't help improve the daily lot of the common man or his living conditions, governments which don't "get things done", all these are being thrown out in both developed and developing countries. Exigencies of the moment take priority over everything else.
This phenomenon is playing out not only in Britain and America. Several European countries are concerned. Francois Hollande is probably no fool for having opted not to participate in the French presidential elections. He doesn't have much on the hands to show, not having been much of a doer.
A lot of our own politics is increasingly resembling a chatterbox. You say something. Someone else gainsays. People left in the lurch don't see how all those discussions are improving their lot.
Take the issue of the level of the interest rate. The common man who saves for a rainy day wants to have reasonable returns on his savings. He barely gets anything much by way of interest income on his savings, whether in rupees or in foreign currencies. Demand for credit is down. We are told investors can't afford to pay a higher interest rate, given the returns they achieve in the business.
On the other hand, house property prices have kept escalating the past decade. Real estate developers have put on a par foreign buyers of property with locals. The latter who don't earn in euros or dollars and have much lower incomes compared with the foreign buyers, can get into house properties only after borrowing substantial amounts. It seems that no one in power focuses on this real life problem.
People at different levels of the economic spectrum need affordable housing. The voter is getting increasingly frustrated in that he can't afford to buy up a reasonable house without incurring significant debt. He is caught in a spiral of low earnings on his savings and ever increasing property prices.
We needed to bring in new investments which have higher rates of returns than businesses that can't afford higher interest rates. Such investments would have helped grow up the economy, increase employment opportunities and gradually raised, by the same token, the interest being paid on financial savings. Instead of that, we've been sending negative signals.
But there are simpler things touching upon the daily lives of people which could have had positive spill overs.
Infrastructure is not really responding to the daily needs of the people. Road markings wash away. Recently constructed public roads develop potholes after some amount of rain. There's no one, it seems, to put back broken roads in good working order while the traffic flow keeps increasing, unchecked. The provision of a steady supply of water 24/7 to households all over the island has been more the subject of discussions than of practical action to get to solutions. It is a basic need not being attended to by succeeding governments.
The report on the recent foot-and-mouth disease may reveal that we don't have the critical mass of best qualified technicians to deal with such matters. What of that? For quite some years, people are seeing local bananas going black due to some disease: there is neither action to stop it, nor to explain what should be done about it. The situation deteriorates.
The same kind of apathy has affected the local production of tomatoes: they develop a rot from inside barely after a week. It seems there's no one to deal with the problem. One wonders whether consumers and planters aren't paying the price for anything-but-faster-result-driven management of research in the agricultural sector?
The sooner politicians reckon with the reality facing common people every day and bring about improvements in them, the more they can withstand election defeats. They may ask Nitish Kumar of Bihar to help them understand how this is done.

SmileDirectClub prices shares at $23 in IPO
Home Financial news SmileDirectClub prices shares at $23 in IPO
SmileDirectClub priced shares for its public offering at $23 late Wednesday, two people familiar with the offering said, above the range the dental company had initially set for its listing.
The price would give SmileDirectClub an implied market capitalisation of $8.9bn, a more than two-fold increase from the $3.2bn valuation the company last received in private markets. It plans to list 58.5m shares worth $1.3bn in an offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange tomorrow.
The company had previously targeted a range of $19 to $22 a share.
SmileDirectClub, which sells clear teeth aligners directly to consumers for less than traditional orthodontists, is the latest lossmaking start-up to test public markets this year and one of the largest since WeWork's public stumbles have thrown its $4bn listing into doubt.
The Nashville-based company reported a loss of $75m last year, even as revenues nearly tripled to $423m from the prior year. Its business has faced pushback from the American Association of Orthodontists, which has claimed in complaints with state attorneys-general and dental boards that the service is "illegal and creates medical risks".
SmileDirectClub's listing is expected to mint three new billionaires on paper: co-founders Jordan Katzman and Alex Fenkell and Katzman's father David, who serves as the company's chief executive and runs its private equity backer Camelot Venture Group. The company will list using a so-called up-C structure, providing tax advantages to company insiders that critics contend aren't fully shared with other investors.
David Katzman will retain control of the company through supervoting shares that carry 10 times the weight of class A common stock being sold in the offering.

I'm writing a bash script to read some user input (like a password request), and I'd like to capture the result and pass it through its stdout. (I'm working in a GNU/Linux environment, with recent software).
# Issue A : uncommented version doesn't restore tty properly.
The intention is to write to fd 3 the result input (if this script's stdout on invocation is connected in a pipe) - while still having tty during interaction. I then modify the tty with stty to control echo, etc, restoring any modifications via handling with trap.
I've encountered two problems with this.
On restoration to the controlling terminal, echo was suppressed. I had to use the two line trap handling case (commented out), instead of the active one line handler case uncommented.
In the one line case - say on INT : the tty is restored, then exit is called via the handler. I'm not trapping EXIT itself - why would that be required?
This is related to exec's "3>&1" redirection in a subshell context.
That error message only happens because of the "3>&1" redirection in the exec line - calling that exec line without "3>&1", there's no stty error (but not very useful for passing the input to stdout). I can't think why this would be the case?
Does not produce this error.
Interestingly, when issue B ocurred, the controlling terminal's tty seemed to be restored properly, even under the problematic trapping/restoration of issue A.

CodeRED steganography project

## Purpose

While watching [NCIS (S5E3)](http://gfycat.com/LameCloudyHorsemouse), I had this nifty idea to learn more about Steganography. I've been wanting to do something like it ever since, so during CodeRED: Liftoff I proposed to make something like it.

## Description
Stego is a project by Austin Jackson, Matt Nyman, Arnaud Balma, and Ismael Almaguer that was made in 24 hours at CodeRED: Liftoff 2015. Steganography is a method of concealing data within other data. In our application, we use steganography with PNG images to hide text and entire files within them. We've also implemented optional, password-protected AES-256 encryption of the hidden data, to insure safety.

## Prerequisites
- Requires node.js and npm to be installed

## Installation and running
- Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/au5ton/codered-steganography.git`
- CD into the directory: `cd codered-steganography`
- Install the dependencies: `npm install`
- Run the server: `node webserver.js`
- Open the website: navigate to `localhost:3000` in your web browser
- You have the site running!

## How to use
- Take any PNG image (We've given you some files to mess around with in the [Test Files](https://github.com/au5ton/codered-steganography/releases/tag/v1.0) folder)
- Take any file under half the size of the PNG image
- Use the Encode section to hide your file in the PNG image (a password is optional, but you have to remember it!)
- After pressing the submit button, you will be redirected to your new PNG image which contains the file you hid in it. If it doesn't download, right-click and Save As.
- Congratulations! You've saved a file within another file, super low-key and awesome. Even better if you used a password and encrypted it.

- Now, what good is randomly encoding this data if I can't get it back?
- Navigate to the Decode section of the website. You'll have to go back to the homepage.
- In your Decode section, input *only* the PNG that you've encoded. Don't put the wrong one. In expected type, put the type of data you're expecting to get back from the decoding process. (If you encoded a file, select file, etc). If you encrypted your data with a password, now would be the time to input that same password.
Once you submit, you'll either be greated with a bad password error, or your hidden file will be downloaded through your browser.

It might mean that they ask God to forgive them because of not doing what is recommended of them to do (rather than what is obliged for them), that is, something that had better do or not do.
It might well mean asking God to forgive the sins of their people.
 Nahj al-Balagha (The Peak of Eloquence), sermon #426.

CAI's early awareness of HOA constitutionality, public mini-government
It appears that CAI has adopted a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" attitude toward HOA constitutionality and public mini-government issues that are still prevalent today. And it spread to the policy-makers.
Wayne S. Hyatt's 1975 Emory Law Journal article, Condominium and Home Owners Associations: Formation and Development, 2 years after the formation of CAI, presents his highly influential view on HOA constitutionality while recognizing that HOAs are mini-governments.
Wayne Hyatt "the most prominent advocate in CAI" serving as a 1975 "homeowners representative" and a former president (1978-79) (Privatopia, p. 219, 138 respectively). Hyatt devoted his practice to working with developers of condominiums, master planned communities, resorts . . . to create community governance structures and community stewardship organizations.
While actively practicing law, he was also a member of 1) the American Law Institute (that wrote the pro-HOA Restatement of Servitudes, 2) the College of Community Association Lawyers (CAI affiliate) , the Community Associations Institute (CAI, created in 1973 by the National Association of Home Builders [grant of] $30,000), and 3) ULI – the Urban Land Institute (sponsor of the 1964 "HOA bible," The Homes Association Handbook) and served as a ULI Trustee.
He also served as an Advisor 1) to the Restatement of the Law (Third) Property: Servitudes, and 2) to the Special Committees on a Uniform Condominium Act and a Uniform Planned Community Act of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (Uniform Law Commission, UCIOA and UCA). Hyatt received several awards from CAI.
Hyatt developed many of the Dell Webb's master planned and resort/active adult association CC&Rs over the years.
His 1975 Emory Law Journal article gives readers a good idea of constitutionality and local government concerns that seemed to have evaporated over the years as CAI's influence increased dramatically. A few important excerpts:
"The California Code provides for an association and affords it the powers and duties of the mini-government." {T]he [Georgia] legislature has in effect provided a large measure of home rule for what is in essence a category of small municipalities, and each has established a system of officers and directors in the nature of a mayor and council to oversee the exercise of this rule." (At 988).
"'Has the state permitted, even by inaction, a private party to exercise such power over matters of a high public interest that to render meaningful' constitutional rights, private action must be public?"(Footnote 33 at 983). [In simple terms, private government HOAs must be subject to local government protections].
"The Declaration is not a contract but, as a covenant running with the land, is effectively a constitution establishing a regime to govern property held and enjoyed in common. It further sets forth procedures to administer, operate, and maintain the property. . . . the declaration and particularly the by-laws create not only a corporate structure but also a governmental authority that requires and deserves competent, experienced persons . . ." (at 990).
"The power of 'levy' is a distinctive characteristic of the association and removes it from a mere voluntary neighborhood group. . . . The imposition of penalties, whether fines . . . or a denial of use of facilities enforced by injunction, certainly represents quasi-judicial power to affect an individual's property rights. . . . The possession and exercise of such power has substantial consequences with clear constitutional implications. The courts have not yet considered a direct constitutional challenge to an association's action." (at 983).
"[T]he constitutional issue is most acute in rule enforcement; however the association's established procedures, declaration, and by-laws should insure compliance with at least rudimentary constitutional principles, and there must be a procedure to protect members' rights." (at 984).
Nowhere will you find any equivalent discussion of HOA constitutionality, or HOAs as mini-governments or as a form of local public government. Not in its Manifesto, Community Next 2020 and Beyond (2016); not in its Public Policies: Private Property Protection, Government regulation of Community Associations, and Rights and Responsibilities For Better Communities (July 15, 2021).
And not in any of its anti-constitution amicus briefs: Twin Rivers NJ appellate (2004), Dublirer NJ Supreme Court (2011); Surowiecki, WA Supreme Court (2021) (business judgment rule overrides judicial review); Turtle Rock AZ appellate (2017); Foreshee WI appellate (2017).

What can I say but our deep thanks to you and the Heritage Team for a most unique place and a process that was more fun, so carefully managed and so above our wildest dreams. We could not have imagined those beams we saw in Waco, hewn 250 years ago, could become such a overwhelmingly beautiful environment and so rich in history. We are thrilled!
We recently had a wedding for 150 in the barn and people are still talking about the absolute beauty of the beams and frame and the "specialness" of being inside such a place. Keeping the authenticity of the original design and construction (for the most part) has made the barn "a place": of history, of fun and entertainment and a place just to be. We spend every night we are home in the barn so our main home is rapidly becoming our guest home! (:
Your team was amazing from our first discussion about "should we build a barn?" through the construction process. Steve, Tony and the rest of our architect/builder team feel as we do. How many times in a construction project do the team so significantly exceed expectations coming in on budget and ahead of schedule. And your team that we hosted at our home during the 'barn raising', couldn't have been more respectful, appreciative and fun.
We look forward to doing another one!
C. A.	Woodside, CA
We purchased a Dutch Barn frame to form the heart of our home in Telluride, Colorado. From beginning to end, we had a wonderful experience with Heritage Barns. We watched the men from Heritage raise our frame after a big snow storm. It was wonderful to watch these talented craftsmen carefully construct our frame. Our home is now complete, and we could not be happier. Every room has exposed beams, constantly reminding us of the history of our structure and the talent and care taken by Heritage to make it possible.
M. & F. B.	Telluride, CO
We adore our "Heritage Barn" and we proudly show it off on all occasions. We have had it included in house/garden tours. And it has been part of an article written about its surrounding gardens and will soon find it's way into a coffee table book on Connecticut gardens. It has been the sight of family parties, benefits for our philanthropic causes and many other occasions. In every case, each person walking into the barn is rendered speechless!!! We are now hanging contemporary art there to show it off against its beautiful walls. Our barn is truly a work of art and it has been a joy doing this project.
L. G.	Greenwich, CT
We could not be happier or more pleased with our barn and our working relationship. The barn has transformed our business. The project turned out great and now the barn is the number one reason people choose our facility for their functions.
M. M.	Barr Mansion Dutch Barn, Austin, TX
Please let me express how pleased we were with our barn raising! Your crew was fantastic, and were all professional and courteous. It was a real treat getting to know them. Your great crew brought our vision to life.
T. H.	Columbus, TX
The barn is everything we hoped it would be. It is fabulous. It has set a magnificent tone for the rest of the project! I just want to personally thank everyone at Heritage for the wonderful experience we had with your company. Keep up the great service.
B. & S .H.	Riverbend Barn Home, Medina, TX
Just a note to say how impressed I was with your crew that erected our barn. It was refreshing to see a team of craftsmen work in unison with honor and pride. Throughout the process every detail was addressed and every question answered with a smile. They certainly exceeded my expectations.
R. P.	Fairhope, AL
My wife and I greatly appreciate your generous spirit! Your time and effort, sharing your knowledge, your willingness and ability to guide us into doing something special, the resource books to shape our thoughts, and your patience in getting us together contractually. We look forward to working with you, Caleb, and Greg. Please feel welcome always at W.P. and C.O.. I know you'll "Catch the Spirit"! All the best,
C. R.	Trinity, TX
The craftsmen at Heritage Restorations were always very pleasant to work with in every aspect of the job. We never had to worry about something not being done in a professional manner. Their work is quality. That's something hard to come by these days. We always knew that the job would be done right and to our utmost satisfaction. We get so many compliments on our structure, thanks to Heritage Restorations. I would and will always recommend them to anyone.
T. F.	Columbus, TX
Having Heritage Restorations here to put up our barn is a family memory like no other. We are truly blessed to have this barn. The beams and workmanship are remarkable. The whole process was smooth and rewarding. We hope to do it again.
C. K.	Helotes, TX
We wanted to build a house which symbolized our love for the land. One of the best parts of our barn project was getting to know the Heritage Restorations team members. Each one seemed to share our enthusiasm for the site, design, construction and care for the barn. We worked together to achieve a balance between reclaiming the history of the barn [while using modern] design and construction techniques which promote a comfortable home.
P. H.	Meyer Barn Home, Valley Mills, TX
What an inspiration to watch you and your crew of 6 work in perfect harmony together raising the barn on a very hot, hot day in middle Alabama. We could not be more pleased with the end results. Your crew were all so polite, kind, efficient, and professional. Thank you for everything you did for us. We will be happy to highly recommend the Heritage Restoration Company. In great appreciation,
A. F.	Selma Lake Retreat, Selma, AL
We love our barn! We like the sense of history and the uniqueness of each timber. We marvel at how it is simple and elegant.
G. L.	Johnson City, TX
Our Heritage Barn experience was pleasant from beginning to end. They did what they said they were going to do when they said they would do it. It was an exciting experience and we love the barn. We also became friends with the folks at Heritage Barns.
B. W.	Fredericksburg, TX
We couldn't be more thrilled with the way [our barn home] has all come together. We love to share with friends and family how wonderful and professional all the fine people from Heritage Restorations have been.
P. R.	Latrobe Barn Home, Austin, TX
The barn is a favorite spot for our friends and guests. The construction was half the fun.
J. B.	Hunt, TX
The products and services provided by Heritage Restorations could not have been better. In addition to the barn frame, we ordered stairs, counters, and additional beams. [The Heritage Restorations staff] was always available and provided excellent, timely, and professional advice. We are extremely pleased with our barn project.
G. W.	Stone Arabia Barn, Harper, TX
If you are a lover of history whether eccentric or not, the chance to have a part of Americana with style, elegance & character. The people of Heritage Restorations can makes this happen for you.
M. P.	Temple, TX
We invited friends to watch the frame go up. It was exciting to see these hand-hewn beams being assembled into the frame of a building that would continue to tell the history of New York's Mohawk River Valley right here in Texas. The crew was well organized, efficient and friendly. The construction process was done safely.
R. S. & R. B.	Brenham, TX
Our structure was "Carver House", which is smaller than most of what you offer/sell, but we set it up as a great room main floor and balcony ( half the floor space) overlooking seating before a stone fireplace. It's a pretty dramatic place, in 16 acres of woods, pond and stream. I think Troy and his crew would like it as would Doug; It's a grabber!
B. B.	Pittsburgh, PA
Today (May 8, 2015) we sheeted almost one half of the total roof. The 45 degree pitch at a hight point is challenging on the legs but what a roof!! We are using galvanized corrugated metal sheets with heat and wet insulation. Its looking great.

Q: convert cer to csr using openssl or keytool Is it possible to generate a csr file from cer file using openssl or keytool? I can see commands to convert the other way.
Or, is it possible to generate a public pem file from the cer file?

A: You can create a CSR from a certificate using OpenSSL as follows:
openssl x509 -x509toreq -signkey ./server.key -in ./server.pem -out server.csr

will create a certificate request from the certificate and private key.  Note that you must have the private key available for this to work as the csr is signed by the private key in order to provide proof of possession.
You can generate a .pem from a .cer in one of two ways:

*

*If the file is in DER format (a binary format) you can use: openssl x509 -inform DER in server.cer -out server.pem.

*If the file is in PEM format (a base64 text format) you can simply rename it from .cer to .pem.  Remember the cer is only a file extension and doesn't really define the content of the file.


Wow. I cant wait to read and digest the entire post, but a cursory review leaves me thoroughly impressed.
Good stuff. Thank you for this.
Excellent write up- i have assembled most of the parts to replace my clutch and flywheel, and your DIY will be incredibly helpful to read before, and as reference during the swap .... Many Thanks!!!!!
Awesome DIY! Thank you for taking the time to write this up!
Holly mother of pearl, that is a great DIY. Thanks!
One awesome write up. Thanks for taking the time to document the work for us.
The clutch is performing as I anticipated. On the plus side, the engine revs up quicker when accelerating, the shifts are smooth, and the clutch engages like a boss (I'm waiting on break-in completion before I do a hard launch). Also, it doesn't require a higher RPM when starting in first. On the neutral side, required clutch pedal effort is much greater, almost twice as stiff as stock. I suspect the clamping force is commensurate (it's a Sachs pressure plate). On the negative side, the clutch chatters, particularly when backing up. I have been told that the chattering will diminish with time. There is a strong clutch smell when I slip the clutch when backing up to minimize the chatter. There is a slight gear box rattle when in neutral with the clutch out, louder when the air conditioning is on. That is to be expected from a light weight flywheel.
Here is some feedback on my UUC 6-Speed clutch and light weight flywheel after 4,000 miles on it. I don't like it and wish I spent the extra money for the stock clutch/flywheel.
The clutch still chatters. It chatters when you start off, when you downshift, and especially when you back up. I usually slip the clutch heavily when backing up to prevent the loud chattering and vibration; however, then you get burnt clutch smell. I guess some people don't mind a chattering clutch; perhaps it reminds them they have a performance car. But it's embarrassing to me and my wife and daughter hate it.
I don't know why the UUC clutch chatters so much. I installed one on my E36 M3 and it didn't chatter at all. I asked a tech from a local BMW speed shop, and he replied that their shop has installed hundreds of UUC clutches on E46's and they all chatter.
I also get the lightweight flywheel rattle. I used UUC's recommendation of a gear oil cocktail to prevent the rattle, and for the most part it works. However, the rattle comes on loud when you are in neutral with the air conditioning on. It is also evident when the transmission is very hot.
One of the advantages of the lightweight flywheel is that rev-matching / double-clutching is much easier now. Which is good, because I have to rev-match almost every time I downshift now to prevent the chatter and heavy vibration that comes with downshifting with the UUC clutch.
The other advantage is that it has much greater clamping force than the stock pressure plate. It holds the extra HP and spins the tires rather than the clutch. However, the extra clamping force is at the expense of a heavier clutch. It's not that bad, but it definitely works out the left leg if you get stuck in rush hour traffic. It is really a pain in stop and go traffic.
So in hind sight, I shouldn't have installed a lightweight flywheel. I should have stayed stock. A stock clutch may not have as much clamping force, but it is much more civilized.

8) How much does a good stair lift cost?
10) How fast do stairlifts go?
11) About how long does it take to fully install one of these lifts in my Lake Charles home?
12) How much do electric stair lifts cost in Lake Charles?
According to Consumer Affairs, the very best nine stairlift brand names starting with the best-rated contain: Acorn Stairlifts, Accessible Construction, Rise Stairlifts, Silver Cross, Bruno, AmeriGlide, State Home Elevator, 101 Freedom and Stannah. Pros rate these based on a number of characteristics, variables, and suitability due to situation. Several firms usually do not publicize their prices since every stairs is different. The cost can vary from $1,200 to over $10,000, averaging around $3,500 for a straight staircase. Stairlifts that are used can cost under $2,000. Assistance and rental systems are accessible. While others usually do not contain setup in the cost, some products are sold as complete packages including a warranty along with installation. The shape of the stairwell, the span of the seat style the course, job, and the characteristics you want determine the cost.
The sturdiness of track and the seat construction of a stairlift can vary so it is not bad to do a little bit of homework. More than a few companies claim the strongest in the business is the model that provides the heaviest weight capacity at 400 lbs.. Heavier duty models need bigger batteries and more sturdy paths. Heavy-duty versions cost more so make sure you get the model that fits the individual who will use the stairlift. Always check whether the producer has a proven reputation for sturdy, safe and well made products.
A person have a medical condition that meets their definition of impairment and qualifies for Social Security disability benefits when they have worked in work that was covered by Social Security. Benefits could be insured, in case you are injured or on disability. Since SSI is a needs-based plan and an SSI recipient must have limited income and resources, qualification for the Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) allows a person who has a disability to attain an occupational goal. The money that is set aside under a PASS could be used for anything that contributes to an occupational objective and can be used to cover house adjustments via an SSI savings strategy. It's possible for you to figure out more about PASS through your Louisiana Social Security Administration office or call toll free 800 772 1213.
No. There are not any modifications that are needed, since stairlifts don't attach to the wall. The stairlift is installed into existing stair treads. The single thing that we do recommend is that if you're planning to modify the flooring or carpeting on your stairs in the next five years, you might want to intend to do it before you install your stairlift to avert future removal and re-installation prices.
Electric power (AC) stairlifts need a grounded conventional 110v/20 amp outlet found at or near the bottom or top of the staircase. Direct current, or battery powered (DC) stairlifts use batteries capable of being recharged. Plug in the DC powered stairlift when it's not used to recharge the battery. There are also DC powered units that empower the batteries to always charge while the DC power is used by the stairlift from the batteries. The charger unit will convert the voltage to DC. The battery operated stairlift will continue to run until it runs out of electricity when there's a power outage. In case the transformer burns out, the DC stairlift is not going to run and you must possess the charger serviced.
Yes. There are providers and producers that offer buy back plans. A lot of them will remove the unwanted lift also. Many buyers do not like to purchase directly from a seller, whether it will work on their stairs and because they need to have it checked out by a professional to determine how well it functions. Particular models sell more easy than many others.
Because of individual conditions you might be facing, you will need to lease a stairlift instead of purchase one. Perhaps you will have company for an extended period of time that will benefit from its use, perhaps you lease your house, or someone in your household has had an injury or surgery and wants it briefly. Sometimes, determined by the medical condition, you just can not be certain how long you will need the stairlift and renting appears like the best alternative on a month-to-month basis. Rental programs often provide a minimum of 3 months and normally include the setup and de-installation in the rental package. Some Louisiana companies even offer rent to own programs. Nonetheless, it is important to consider the price of installation and de-installation before choosing this option instead of purchasing a secondhand stairlift.
The cost averages around $3,500 to over $10,000 for a great stairlift. Assistance and rental systems are available. $6,000 and for a custom curved railing stairway costs are around $10,000. to for a straight flight of stairs appear to spend between $2,500 While others don't include setup in the purchase price, some products are sold as complete packages including a guarantee plus setup. The shape of the stairwell, the span of the course, the seat fashion, labor, as well as the features you want decide the cost.
Normally the speed ranges from 13.78 feet per minute to 29.53 feet per minute with the speed varying with the rider's weight, all within the recommended industry standard. The most speed in america is 40 feet per minute. Units can come with an emergency brake safety feature in case you feel out of control descending. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers manages the standards for stairway chair lifts for matters of public safety, including speed under ASME A18.1.. Some manufacturers offer a variable speed of 0 to 38 feet per minute.
A fitting can take between 1-2 hours for straight stairs. A Louisiana professional will install the rail first, followed by the seat along with the motor. Appropriate installation comprises once it's been tested after the fitting, walking you through the features of your new stairlift. A fitting for a curved stairlift can take as much as a half day.
Used electrical-powered stairlifts can begin at about $1,299.00, while battery-powered stairlifts can begin at about $1,399.00 in Louisiana. Both models are comparably priced when you buy them new. The price difference is negligible initially. In the long term, electric-powered stairlifts may cost you if you factor in the purchase price of replacement and care batteries. Frequently, although there are batteries which are fairly simple to install determined by the model it is suggested to have the battery rather than attempt to replace it yourself.

COMMENTARY: COP27 shows Higgs is out of touch with reality
by Jim Emberger

New reports from COP27 are useful tools to assess whether Premier Higgs' natural gas policies reflect current reality.
• The Premier calls for a new shale gas industry.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Institute of Sustainable Development (IISD), and the UN Environmental Program issued separate reports with a common conclusion: limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires an immediate halt to new fossil fuel development.
The IISD tested 97 possible pathways to stay under 1.5°C. None succeeded if new fossil fuel development was allowed. The IEA said new development should have ended in 2021.
• The Premier believes that the Russian/ Ukraine war means Europe needs our gas.
The IEA stated that the energy crisis caused by Russia's invasion "is in fact going to accelerate the clean energy transition," with increased government spending on clean energy marking a "historic turning point" in transitioning from fossil fuels.
The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air verified Europe's falling demand for fossil fuels. "EU markets are responding with a surge in renewables, heat pumps and electric vehicles. EU governments have raised their ambition on the transition to low-carbon energy. The response from markets and governments suggests this trend is likely to accelerate."
It specifically warned countries scrambling for LNG projects to avoid getting locked into contracts that won't be needed in a few years.
• The Premier claims that New Brunswick gas is more desirable, because it is 'cleaner.'
All natural gas (methane) produces the same CO2 emissions when burned, regardless of source.
However, gas from fracking creates substantially more CO2 emissions than conventional gas. The fracking process requires burning lots of fossil fuels to run generators, pumps and fleets of trucks.
• The Premier also wants to sell the gas by turning it into liquid natural gas (LNG) for exporting.

This process requires enormous amounts of energy to cool the gas to minus 160°C (-260°F). Norwegian research firm, Rystad Energy, has calculated that the CO2 embedded in LNG production is 10 times higher than in piped gas.
Multi-billion dollar LNG terminals require long contracts to be economical — up to 40 years — locking in for decades the very greenhouse gases that we need to eliminate.
LNG facilities, and gas fields are also among the biggest leakers of unburned methane — the fastest growing of greenhouse gases — into the atmosphere, where it is 86 times more powerful than CO2 in trapping heat over a 20-year period.
Bloomberg News recently reported that "Canadian regulators said they were unaware of a methane cloud spotted by the European Space Agency's Sentinel-5P satellite last month near gas pipelines, highlighting a disconnect between the nation's climate ambitions and its emissions, which are the second highest per capita among G20 countries. Canada's methane and carbon dioxide releases have climbed more than any other G7 country."
Such embarrassing headlines diminish Canada's international standing.
• Finally, the Premier believes that New Brunswick gas could replace Atlantic Provinces' coal-burning power plants.
No one knows how much gas can be economically recovered here. Only US gas company SWN did much testing, and it left without even drilling a test well. The Premier's claim is an unsubstantiated sales pitch.
It would take many years and billions of dollars to complete the development of a shale gas play, transportation infrastructure, and gas-fired power plants. Meanwhile, the world will be leaving fossil fuels behind.
It's too late in the climate crisis to replace coal with another fossil fuel. A new U.S. Department of Energy study said that the world will blow past 1.5°C, unless greenhouse gas emissions are halved by 2030.
This means, as the IEA stated, "the golden age of gas is approaching the end." It can no longer be considered a transitional "bridge" fuel.
Scientific and economic reality undercuts each of the Premier's policies, as does the moratorium condition requiring scientific certainty that fracking can be done safely — the lack of which brought down the last PC government.
Recently, the U.K.'s Conservative Prime Minister lifted a moratorium on fracking, only to quickly reinstate it after public outrage — including from fellow Tories, whose Manifesto also requires scientific certainty.
The reality in COP27 reports is that since 1980, every decade became the hottest decade. The last eight years are the hottest years.
This year has already seen 29 multibillion-dollar weather disasters, and witnessed the crippling of the world's great waterways, affecting commerce, food and water supply, and energy production.

The Wolastoq people invited allies into the longhouse to participate in a ceremony and to hear a letter against shale gas from the Chiefs. Photo by Liane Thibodeau.
Predicted irreversible climate tipping points are at hand — some may already be here — while our climate plans and actions remain inadequate.
The Premier's policies are for a world that no longer exists. The real world requires, as the UN counsels, "the rapid transformation of societies."
A New Brunswick transformation means a society based on electrification, renewable energy, and energy conservation.
While announcing new record-high greenhouse gas emissions, the World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General said, "We need to transform our industrial, energy, and transport systems and whole way of life."
"The needed changes are economically affordable and technically possible. Time is running out."

Using the hasselback technique—cutting partially into a whole fruit or vegetable every ½ inch or so—gives you an easy way to sneak lots of flavor into this healthy zucchini recipe. To bake the zucchini instead of grilling, place in a foil-lined 8-inch-square baking pan and bake at 425°F until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
Combine oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Make crosswise cuts every ½ inch along each zucchini, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through. Gently fan the zucchini to open the cuts wider and place a small piece of Parmesan into each cut. Brush the oil mixture over the top.
Place the zucchini on a double layer of foil and grill, without turning, until browned and tender, 16 to 18 minutes.
Works great in the air fryer!!! Soooooo good!
Wow! So simple, easy and tasty!

Shia LaBeouf has been released from jail following an appearance in court in New York City this morning to face charges stemming from his dramatic arrest at a Broadway theater.
The Transformers star was hauled out of a performance of musical Cabaret on Thursday night amid allegations he was disrupting the show and smoking inside the Studio 54 theatre.
He was arrested and subsequently charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass before spending the night in jail.
LaBeouf appeared at a Manhattan court on Friday morning and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He was released and walked out of the courtroom to a nearby hotel. LaBeouf is due back in court on July 24.
The actor's arrest comes after months of increasingly bizarre behavior which has sparked fears for his well-being.
He hit headlines earlier this year when he walked the red carpet at a film festival in Germany wearing a brown paper bag on his head, while he also became part of an odd art installation in Los Angeles and announced plans to retire from public life.

Disturbing video shows violent brawl at West Broward High School, 2 teen girls arrested
Governor gives 'Jeopardy' contestant a 2nd chance at clue
Published: December 31, 2021, 2:22 PM Updated: December 31, 2021, 5:02 PM
In this image from video provided by the New York Office of the Governor, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul speaks with "Jeopardy"contestant Ben Walthall, a resident of the Brooklyn borough of New York, Friday Dec. 31, 2021, who failed to buzz in on a clue about Hochul in a recent episode of the television program. (New York Office of the Governor via AP) (Uncredited)
A New York resident who was stumped by a "Jeopardy" question about his state's governor got a do-over Friday, joining Gov. Kathy Hochul's virtual COVID-19 briefing to tell her he knows who she is now.
"Here in New York we actually believe in second chances," Hochul said before introducing Ben Walthall, the Brooklyn resident who failed to buzz in on the clue, "In 2021, she became the first female governor of New York state."
The clue was read again Friday by a Hochul staff member who at first said "first female president" and then corrected himself to "governor of New York state." Walthall correctly responded, "Who is Kathy Hochul?"
None of the contestants in the episode that aired Wednesday answered the question about Hochul, even Amy Schneider, the "Jeopardy" juggernaut who had won 22 consecutive games as of Thursday's broadcast.
Walthall told Hochul that his episode was filmed "a couple months ago, right when you took office, so that's part of the reason why I may have sat out on that question."
Hochul, the former lieutenant governor, took over as governor in August when fellow Democrat Andrew Cuomo resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations. A "Jeopardy" spokesperson said Wednesday's episode was filmed Oct. 12.
Walthall said he grew up in Massachusetts but has lived in New York for 11 years. He said his girlfriend is a New York City public school teacher, and he thanked Hochul for her efforts to promote COVID-19 vaccinations among eligible children. "It's really important to keep both teachers and kids safe," Walthall said, "so I definitely appreciate all you're doing there."
Hochul told Walthall there are no hard feelings.
"I don't have a long memory," she said, "so we're good."

I will get married at the right time – Actress, Ebube Nwagbo
http://www.africaeagle.com/2016/10/i-will-get-married-at-right-time.html
Nollywood actress and producer, Ebube Nwagbo says she is not disturbed by the delay in getting married, adding that she will get married at the right time.
The director, who is been described as 'controversial' in the industry, says she is only misunderstood by people, saying "I call myself the misunderstood one."
Ebube was speaking in an Interview with Vanguard where she noted that the nature of her work puts her in position to be misunderstood.
She said, "I don't think I'm controversial, you know there are people that others usually misunderstand, and I think I'm one of them.
"I'm in the limelight, what we do puts us in a position where people misunderstand us from what they see on screen.
"I can't begin to explain to everyone that what they read about me is different from what they see on the screen.
"So, I've learnt to ignore most times, and when you ignore, people make out what they want in their heads and assume that this is the truth or this is not the truth.
"But sometimes I can't ignore, I have to give it back to them; I'm human at the end of the day."
Ebube added that she is single because she wants to get married at the right time, and not because she lacks suitors.
"I'll get married at the right time," she said.
She debunked the rumour making the rounds that she is terrified of marriage, adding that getting married is a big deal and must be done rightly.
According to her, "Well, I don't know where that story is coming out I remember saying marriage is a big deal to me and if I have to do it then it has to be right.
"What marriages are going through right now in my industry is crazy. No one goes into marriage and thinks of getting out of it the next minute, but for some reason it doesn't work out.
"It's not me trying to blame anyone now, but it does happen. For me, if I have to do it, I've to do it right, marriage is a big deal for me if I'm going to do it, it's going to be at the right time and not out of pressure because the same people who rush you into it would be the same people who would later make jest of you."
