Private equity firm Lion Global Investors announced on Thursday that it had closed its latest fund. The private equity firm formed the fund together with the Singapore-headquartered OCBC Bank and after a rocky start had to upsize it. The hope is to use the new fund for investments in small and medium-sized companies in Asia.
The Fund
The fund started fundraising in November last year. The fund didn't start nearly as strongly as some expected, but the nine-month fundraising eventually ended up having the fund upsized. The fund closed with $393 million, which is around 40% more than the initial aim.
The Lion-OCBC Capital Asia Fund I is looking to invest in small and medium-sized companies in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. The Singapore-headquartered bank is well placed to provide clientele for the fund, as it has a strong client base in the three core markets the fund is set to invest in.
Daniel Kwan, head of MCU at OCBC Bank, told International Advisor, "We introduced this fund to meet growing interest in alternative assets from our market partners and high net worth customers in Bank of Singapore".
Strong Investor Base
The funds similar to this are typically closed within a year and the private equity firm can find positives from the strong investor sentiment. The investors in the fund come from a large pool of regional banks and high net worth individuals. Among the investors is OCBC Bank's private banking subsidiary, Bank of Singapore.
"Investors in the fund were attracted by the superior returns that MCU has consistently delivered for OCBC of more than 20 per cent internal rate of return in the past six years as its private equity unit, as well as by the fund's unique positioning as a bank-sponsored investment fund," Mr Kwan said in the statement.
Looking for Core Markets
As mentioned above, the fund is hoping to invest in companies in Asian countries like China and Singapore. The Lion-OCBC Capital Asia Fund I also said it would focus on a few industries to make the most of the firm's expertise in these industries. The industries are agriculture, commodities and the consumer industries, although it might invest to appropriate opportunities in other sectors as well.
The industries show the fund is hoping to tap into the urbanisation of the region. Big Asian countries have been driven by emergence of these new big cities and the increase in the group of middle-class earners to create a demanding market for new companies.
While fundraising efforts in Asia have been strong this year, the funds are taking their time deploying the capital. According to data by the Centre for Asia Private Equity Research showed the region's fund had around $110 billion in dry powder at the end of last year.
Juan Delgado-Moreira, managing director for Hamilton Lane, told the Wall Street Journal in February that, "Fund managers across the region are being prudent and are not really finding a lot of opportunities or not having excessive confidence on what they are seeing". It'll be interesting to see how quickly Lion-OCBC Capital Fund I will deploy its capital.

Why Every Teacher Should Go See "Hidden Figures"
By Amanda Schaffer on March 1st, 2017
Last month I saw the movie "Hidden Figures" and I was so incredibly inspired.
I am a former English teacher, so my love is words and writing and reading. But I ventured to see this movie because it empowers women and sheds light on some pretty amazing mathematicians who had the power to make this word-loving English teacher a fan of math. I mean, as a teacher I've always loved data, but for me, seeing this movie reinforced why numbers are just as important as words.
We look at data a lot in education, but most of the time I believe we are just looking at numbers and not really grasping the full story data can tell us.
Data does tell a story.
Sometimes it's a story we don't want to hear; sometimes it's a story we already know and we're just validated. Sometimes it's a story we never gave any thought and a whole new path is opened for us. If the data you look at regularly is just numbers on a screen and it's not telling you a story, maybe some insights from "Hidden Figures" will help. Continue reading
Thankful for the Mountains We Climb
By Amanda Schaffer on November 22nd, 2016
2016 is an incredible time to be a teacher.
I am grateful for each and every day I get to work alongside the best of the best in education.
While expectations are high, standards seem impossible to meet, and the everyday trials and struggles we face seem endless, this time in our country and our world is truly an incredible time to be a teacher. We have so much more access to research about how and why we learn. We have clearer pictures of our brains and all they can accomplish.
We might be up against some very difficult mountains to climb, but the teachers that have gone before us have never been as well equipped as we are today.
As a teacher I've always been fascinated with the brain – how it operates so much more than just our physical bodies. Each and every day, new research is published confirming something I think teachers have always known. Continue reading
Are We Teaching Girls to Fear Failure?
By Amanda Schaffer on March 14th, 2016
March is Women's History month, so what better time than now to ask a very important question:
Are we teaching our girls to fear failure?
Several months ago, my colleague Amy Lowyns, who teaches French for Florida Virtual School sent me an article on this very topic. Of course Amy knew how passionate I am about fostering a growth mindset in all of our students, but when she sent me this article, the idea that maybe we need to look deeper into what we are teaching our girls really lit a fire inside me.
We have been researching the idea that we are teaching our girls to fear failure ever since – and the research is hard-hitting, significant, and extremely eye-opening. Continue reading
Help! I need somebody! Help!
By Amanda Schaffer on January 19th, 2016
My daughter is not quite two, yet her little brain is abuzz – learning new things at every turn of the corner.
Almost constantly she comes up against something new, something strange or challenging, and every time without fail, she looks up at me with her big brown eyes and says "help!"
It astonishes me how easily she is able to admit she needs a helping hand. How quickly she recognizes she's facing something new and challenging and she may not get it right the first time. This mindset is what Carol Dweck calls a "growth mindset." And most children my daughter's age have it.
They are perfectly okay with asking for help, and not just asking, but receiving it. Continue reading

What Successful People Know
By Amanda Schaffer on September 28th, 2015
No one likes to fail.
No one likes the feeling of failure, that lead rock deep inside your gut weighing you down. And for a long time, I was afraid of failure. This was because I didn't understand what successful people know.
What successful people know is that failure doesn't have to be the worst thing. It doesn't have to ruin us or break us. In fact, the incredibly beautiful fact about failure is that it is as much a part of success as hard work, as talent, as passion, and drive. Failure is actually a huge piece of the success puzzle. It's just that most people never recognize it. The sooner we realize that failure is just one part of the road to success, the sooner we can learn from our failures, get back on track, and grow. This is what it means to have a Growth Mindset. Continue reading
Back-to-School Traditions
By Amanda Schaffer on August 12th, 2015
For a few weeks now, Target and Walmart have had their back-to-school aisles fully stocked with shiny new markers, notebooks, and binders.
All the tools to help students transition back to school without a hitch are on sale – and tax-free through August 16th! Walking down these aisles reminds me of the back-to-school traditions I used to have with my parents and sisters growing up.
My mom always took us shopping for our back-to-school clothes and of course filled our brand new backpacks with all the supplies and pens and paper they could hold. My dad would take us to school on the first day, but not before having an early morning breakfast at IHOP for some delicious back-to-school pancakes. Continue reading

Below are few of the tips that must be kept in mind while evaluating a tarot reader:
Experience of the Expert: Before you finally decide to concern a tarot reader, judge him by the number of years he is working on it. He must have 5 years of experience with many fans and reviews. Try to find out the ratings, comments and reviews available for him that will narrate his abilities and talents. This will in turn help you chalk out if he is worth calling. The reason behind being that careful is that tarot reading is psychic art which is often dependent on the interpretations. Therefore it is necessary that you act diligently instead of selecting randomly and also think before spending too much on the first sitting without knowing that they are good. Additionally, be more careful prior to make payments while selecting an online tarot reading guru.

They would insist to buy the item that can only save you from the dire consequences. These indicate that the tarot reading is simply used as a mean of marketing the products they are selling. The worst part is that they incorporate fear into the customers' minds to sell their products.
Check if the Reader is promising about your future:
Find out if the reader lays too much emphasis in the future. Genuine readers normally agree that tarot readings are the predictions of the influences and the most plausible consequences in your whole life rather than predicting the definite future. It is true in case of online tarot reading as well.

How to Approach Dating as a Newly Out LesbianSábado, septiembre 21st, 2013
From a very young age, most of roblox cheats tool us are taught how to navigate the dating world as a heterosexual. There are certain rules and strategies for courting or being courted by a man, but when you discover and embrace your sexuality as a lesbian, it's a big, unfamiliar world out there. Where do you go to find a date? What should you expect from your first efforts?
As a newly out lesbian, approaching the dating scene is a different and uncharted territory. But don't worry. Here are a few tips to get you on the right path.
1. Find Yourself a Lesbian Friend
Every chick can attest to how valuable a wing woman is. Offline, dating for a lesbian is a lot different than for a straight person, and that means a mentor to show you the ropes is valuable. Where you find women of your sexuality and how you make that connection is hard, so when you're fresh out of the closet, find a coworker, a friend of a friend, or someone in your neighborhood who swings your way and ask them to match you up with some interesting women, recommend great places to meet singles, or give advice to steer you clear of bad locales. Not only will this make you less self-conscious and uncertain, but will help you leap over the mistakes they may have made.
2. Start Out Slow
While it seems like a great idea to find the nearest lesbian bar and start making connections, you will be in for a surprise. You may live in an area where the LGBT + community is rather share our website ladyera small, and that means pickings are slim for finding a match. As a result, you may have a lot of great dates right off the ourworld gem codes cheats bat, but if they don't pan out, you could begin to be discouraged by the lack of success and attention. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more casual, you may not be able to find a great match or quickly run out of the woman you're compatible with. Don't take this personal and don't let yourself feel a hit to your ego; instead, it's time to search for broader horizons.
3. Find the Right Dating Site
You could always personally check out a new area to find singles, but why go to the effort when that same access is at your fingertips? Dating apps let you refine your search to those local to you or as broad as across the world, giving you a chance to find the perfect kind of match. But as you've already heard from your friends, not all dating sites are made equally. To save yourself the frustration and disappointment, find the right one by deciding what you're looking for in a relationship. A hookup? A long-term relationship? Something casual? A fun night out and nothing more? By narrowing down this criteria and then narrowing it further to lesbian-welcoming or lesbian-exclusive sites, you can get the right match faster – and have some fun with it. That's the whole point, right?
4. Join Dating Chat Rooms
Dating chat rooms are all the fun of a nightclub without the noise, crowded spaces, or the minimum drink rate. It gives you a chance to meet a lot of people in a controlled environment, and if conversation skills are way high on your list, it quickly weeds out the boring duds from the charming wordsmiths. Even more so, if you don't have a lesbian club or bar nearby and don't like that awkward uncertainty of wondering whether a beautiful woman in a regular bar shares your sexuality, then no problem. Joining a lesbian chat lets you connect with women under no uncertain terms; some who wouldn't attend a nightclub, aren't in your area, or just didn't feel like going out. Now you can make a great first impression based off your personality and charm, even if you're not a great dancer.
5. Do Some Meet Ups!
After you've spent some time polishing up your online dating profile, have made a few matches, and have had a few great chats, it's time to take the next step and actually meet up with your match. If you don't feel comfortable meeting up in person just yet, then start out with a Skype chat or a video meeting via your chosen dating site. This gives you a chance to overcome that initial shock of real-time verbal communication, and get an impression of their mannerisms, gestures, and vibes before you meet for real.
However, the most important part about approaching the dating scene is the same no matter your sexuality. Be confident, be yourself, and have fun. In the end, it's all about meeting a great person and making a fantastic connection, so keep these tips in mind, and you'll have a strong approach.
How To Attract All Along With That Special One !Viernes, septiembre 20th, 2013
We venta de cialis en miami click this website lady-era pills all have different kinds of mind-sets, personalities, attitudes, beliefs, values, predispositions, perceptual tendencies, and habits overall. We live by our behavioural, cognitive and emotional trails in one way or the other. These traits are our identity, pride, recognition, esteem, and means to survival. We belong to them, as they belong to us. Now let me introduce you a few examples from day to day life:
When a child asks for a specific toy- he only wants that kind of toy. He would never be happy with any other toy until or unless that toy meets the same need. So for the child, the toy is not important, rather more important is the specific requirement of that toy; the quality of the toy; or the special ability of that toy.
When you go for shopping with a mind-set, you do not subway surfers hack tool no download compromise. You try your best to find what you need. For example, you need a mobile share our website carrying a special feature (may be powerful camera); you would never be comfortable with any other mobile set. As you need a specific thing, you do not care for other features of other mobiles. Yes, you would be happier if you get both: the required features and other enhanced features as well.
Similarly, we look for something special in our mate. That something special might be anything from a simple gesture to a variety of personality traits. When we find that particular trait in someone, we fell in love. We do not care whether he/she has something else or not. We just want that special thing- and nothing else. Though after some time, we are quite adapted to that trait and other things start to interfere. Then we realize our mistake.
This is very much true for other areas of life. When we choose a profession for a special reason in mind; we ignore other aspects of it. We join that and regret after some time as we come to know that we are compromising a lot for our love and choice. Then we realize that one thing should not be given top priority in any situation until or unless it is our complete compulsion or limitation.
The truth is that in life, one should not focus on one particular way of living. With a specific mindset, one cannot earn total satisfaction and would lack other important and beautiful gifts of nature. Indeed, there are a thousand ways of living, countless thoughts to ponder with, limitless sources to explore, and a great number of things to enjoy, learn, focus on, deal with and to rest upon. Thus, when we travel with a particular belief in mind about anything in this world; we could be blessed to that particular thing, anyhow, but the rest of, is compromised. Whereas when we look for happiness with open heart without being prejudice; we attract all pleasures of all types in the most harmonious combination to please us, secretly, in the best everlasting manner.
How To Attract Luck With LOALunes, septiembre 16th, 2013
Many people misunderstand click this website the law of attraction. Thanks to "The Secret" they believe that manifesting is just wishing for something to happen so hard that it eventually happens for you.
Unfortunately that is far from enough, as if that was the case many people would have the lives they desire.
The truth behind manifesting and attracting luck is that it requires action.
Aligning the mind with your goals, aligning your desires, feeling good about fulfilling your wishes is a necessary part of the process; however nothing can happen without sustained action.
Wishing is a complicated process. It doesn't mean just wanting what you desire. It means wanting it with your whole being so bad that you cannot stop yourself from taking action.
It means being proud of your desires in a sense that they feel aligned with who you are and who subway surfers hack tool no download you want to be.
Think about it, if you think you want something for other people, no prescription albuterol canada share our website something that is considered a must in our society and you really don't want it – you will never achieve that goal no matter how hard you try as you will not be able to motivate yourself.
Working on your goals is often tiresome, but it feels good, and not like you have to drag yourself.
State of Mind
Attracting luck is a state of mind. It is the same process as manifesting any concrete goal.
The trick is, if you are not lucky, it may be hard to prove to yourself that you can be. Just thinking that you believe that you are lucky is not enough. You have to resonate with that belief with your whole being.
The good news is that any state of mind, including the one in which you believe you are lucky, can be learned.
Start small, start with attributing something you are sure will happen to luck. For example, attribute that you will have awesome lunch today or tomorrow with luck.
That will get you to start thinking in the right direction. After a few days you may start to really believe that you indeed can be lucky in all things, if you are lucky with having lunch.
Taking Action
Again, taking action is the most important part of the equation. You cannot land your dream job without taking action and giving your best, becoming the best person for the job and going after it and taking it.
You can't just get the girl of your dreams by wishing it, you have to go after her and make your intentions known.
You cannot fill your desire to travel around the word if you insist on being stuck at the place in which you are, which is obviously not working for you. You have to make the circumstances that will work in your favor.
Likewise, you can't be a lucky person if you believe that circumstances are working against you.
And action works great when you align your conscious desires with your subconscious mind.
So work on aligning what you want with what you feel deep inside of yourself. Have all parts of your being work together in an sustained effort to make you a lucky person.
How to Approach and Assist an Angry PersonSábado, septiembre 14th, 2013
We all encounter top eleven hack tool angry people in every walk of life. Some will confront them, others avoid them like the plague. There are times when either approach is acceptable. I do not like drama. However, I am concerned about others when they appear upset. And I am very knowledgeable as to how to help them. After all, I've been doing this professionally for twenty years. So my choice as to whether or not I become involved has to click this website ladyera do with several factors including how well I know the person, if I'm mentally prepared to assist them at that time, if I feel they are open to my help, and if this is a serious issue.
Here are a few tips should you decide subway surfers hack tool no download to reach out with a thoughtful heart:
1. Make a non-judgmental observation. "You seem upset."
2. Avoid using the term angry as it can actually increase their anger.
3. Validate their feelings. One of our most basic human needs is to be acknowledged.
4. Express genuine concern.
5. Ask them to sit down rather than calm down so that you may better understand what they have to say.
6. Set boundaries if their behavior is out of control.
7. Listen empathetically. Understand their feelings, not simply their situation.
8. Ask questions to better understand their situation.
9. Ask if they are happy with their current situation and/or how they feel about it or if they would like things to be different.
10. Inquire as to how you can best help them.
11. Reassure them that you have faith in their ability to move beyond this.
12. Interject humor only if appropriate.
To that list, I'd like to add a few "do not's":
~Be wary of incendiary statements such as "What's your problem?" "You shouldn't feel that way."
~Do not get caught up in their drama, anger, rage, etc. Remain calm.
~Stay focused on them and their issue. Don't make this about you.
~Don't personalize or take offense to what they are saying or doing. Their emotions and actions are about themselves, not you.
~Never allow them to direct their anger at you.
They may express it to you but not at you.
We all have issues with anger. Sometimes we have to address our own and sometimes we need to offer assistance to others. When safe to do so, be a vessel of healing to another. One person at a time and we can heal our angry planet. Peace.

How to Attain Inner Peace During ChaosMiércoles, septiembre 11th, 2013
Striving for inner peace in the midst of the drama, chaos, or any experience that is less than desirable is difficult for the most mindful person. In many situations, we can fend off the pressure of being drawn into the experience; however, some situations or experiences reach our vulnerability and it is hard not to be sucked into the attachment and cause a reaction versus a response.
Practicing detachment is a necessity, not an option if you want to live your life in mindful awareness. Detachment assists you in share our roblox hack cheats website observation and evaluation of a strong feeling or emotion you are experiencing. These feelings and emotions are what trigger your response.
In meditation class, I use this analogy: You are on a train platform in a subway station, you do not jump on a moving train, so why do we jump onto (attach ourselves) a thought, feeling or emotion that is destructive? Why not observe your thought, feeling or emotion as it passes by; and more information ladyera decide, "Is this how I want to respond?" If not, you have the quick second to make the change.
Learn to observe what is coming up and process and let it pass as the train and let go of it. Conceptually, this is easy to understand but applying in the midst of a challenge is much more difficult. That is why it is important to create a practice of quiet stillness, which may include meditation, to help cultivate a clearer picture of ourselves objectively. Practice learning to view life from a lens with an expansive, panoramic view rather than seeing life so close you cannot see all sides of what is being experienced.

ladyera buy promethazine w codeine syrup
Investors throughout the world have been shaken by the recent crash in the stock markets and are now investing in safer havens such as gold and silver tips inflation on the erosion of the investor's wealth. Moreover, it makes good financial sense not to put all eggs in one basket. Silver is in great demand because it is amazingly versatile in its usage. In Internet technology it is used as electrical contacts and in industry it has the highest electrical conductivity among all the elements.
It has the highest thermal conductivity surpassing even that of copper, in making ornaments, cutlery, tableware, currency coins. In dentistry it is very useful as amalgams when alloyed with mercury, tin and other metals. In medicine it share more details is critical as it has a toxic effect on algae, fungi, bacteria and viruses and as homeopathic remedies in share our website colloidal compound forms. Silver is in high demand basically because of the properties discussed earlier but its supply is limited and as such its price is gradually rising.
However, some financial analysts feel that although its price has been moving faster than gold, its current price is still seventy percent below its all time high. Therefore investment in silver bullion bars makes a lot of sense. Its intrinsic value lies in the fact that it safeguards your savings, is a valuable medium of exchange and it is real money at any stage. In the current scenario it will be a profitable move to buy silver bullion because it can see you through periods of inflation, volatility, and economic downturns. You can invest in silver bullion by buying silver in the form of rounds, coins, nuggets or bullion bars. Collectors prefer to buy silver coins because the rare coins have historic and antique value.
Silver nuggets are small lumps of silver and being rare, you can only get them from auction websites or big dealers. Silver ornaments and jewelry do not give very high returns on your investment because you have to pay for the making charges. Buying silver bullion bars is the best option for investing in silver because it carries little cost of investment and it can be stored very easily.
The important aspects that need to be looked into before buying silver are purity, weight, and the mode of manufacture. It is also necessary to check up the reputation of the manufacturer. Purchase silver bullion bars preferably from any of the big brands such as US Assay, Sterling Silver, Engelhard, and Wall Street Mint Bars.Buying or selling of silver ingots can also be done through the silver dealers but they deal only in small quantities. For bulk deals, it is recommended that you approach the online dealers, many of whom offer silver bullion bars at low premium.

Product News August 2016
During August 2016, we covered a ton of Star Trek and geek-related products (although it was a few less than we normally do, due to the Star Trek Las Vegas convention kind of taking up our time there). However, we might have elided over them a little too quickly, or maybe you didn't get a chance to see the pictures?
Not to worry. Because we have got you covered.
The range of products is truly dizzying. And these are just a handful!
Blu-Ray and DVDs
Then we noticed the new Star Trek Beyond Blu-Ray details. There is even a model of the USS Franklin! That does my ENT-loving heart good.
Then get a load of the Star Trek TNG Varsity Hoodie. It retails for $69.99 at Think Geek, and it comes in sizes S – 2X!
So check out the new models!
The Trek Collective reports on two new Eaglemoss offerings. First of all are the Holoship and Gorn.
Then the Trek Collective reported that the Kelvin Timeline USS Enterprisewill be joining the F-Toys model ship range.
But please note: we do not yet have the prices for any of these!
Action Figures, Collectibles, and Figurines
First off is the The Hamilton Collection: Precious Moments Star Trek Figurine Set with Display!
And Hallmark offers this brand-new Star Trek Captain Kirk 50th Anniversary Edition Collectible Vinyl Figure. It currently retails for $19.95.

AhhI am so excited. Dates of when tickets go on sale have been announced for both these shows:
Au Revoir Simone plus Cortney Tidwell @ Bush Hall, May 6th: tickets go on sale this Saturday at 9am. Tickets from Ticketweb.
Final Fantasy @ Union Chapel, May 28th: tickets on sale this Friday at 9am. Tickets from Ticketweb.
And we go back to the question, who stole all my monies? Ticketweb stole all my monies. Both of these shows are going to be amazing, both are in lovely venues, both are worthy of extreme excitement. I highly doubt either show will sell out immediately, but, being the excitable person I am, I'm going to be getting my tickets at 9am.

Join us Sunday mornings at 10:30am for worship!
There is something special that occurs each week. For most of the week, we are the church scattered. But at 10:30am every Sunday morning - after meeting in our Sunday School classes - we come together to lift our voice and tune our ear to sing, pray and hear God's Word!
Our service is not all traditional, although we sing hymns and some wear suits. Neither is it all contemporary, although we sing praise songs and some dress casually. Does this mean we are blended? Maybe. But we prefer the term unified. As we have been brought together by our adoption in Christ, so we want to worship together in our adoration of Him.
To worship means to ascribe worth. When we gather each Sunday morning, we are proclaiming and displaying God's worth. And as His sons and daughters redeemed by Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we think God is more glorified and His Gospel better revealed when we do this together.
If you are seeking Truth, looking into Christianity or searching for a church home, we invite you to be our guest this Sunday.

VA mortgages are partially guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This guarantee makes it possible for Veterans to receive very favorable loan terms … Continue reading VA Loans

Thanks for organizing those efforts. Pam, thanks for noticing and publishing this. It warms my heart to see communities coming together in need.
@Inside the USAFA.
Thanks for the post. We have heard great things about the Academy Scholar's Program. About 1/2 of those students (2% of the class) are selected to go off to sponsored schools such as MIT, Harvard, and other fine institutions of higher learning. With hard work and an intense drive to succeed, my DS should be able to achieve his goal.
My son is positively delighted at the USAFA including the staff (including the food). The way he is talking right now, he wants to make a career out of the USAFA. Flying (pardon the pun) isn't on his radar. He is intensely proud of his school and is honored to wear his uniform in public (which he has to at all times as a 4th degree).
Well said Richard. Thank You for your service!
Tejon. I need to make a public apology to "Inside the USAFA" because (as he mentioned earlier) you are a troll. It seems you are bored on your Sunday and want to engage in a debate to make your life complete. Why else would someone post so often?
Wow I'm making a "fool of myself"? How so? Because we disagree and now you are taking it personally? As I said, we did our due diligence and it's not a problem in 2012. Maybe it was x years ago. I don't know and I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
He will be in the Scholars program 2nd semester. An insider like you would know that you cannot be in the Scholars program (1st semester) as a 4th degree.
Forgive me if I took it personal for referencing my adult son as a "kid". These forums are full of people not giving the respect that most cadets deserve. I understand several cadets don't deserve respect.
May I ask, what do you do at the Academy? No need to get defensive. I'm not trying to pin you down or discredit you.
@inside USAFA. Why do you feel the need to call people names? Why are you so defensive?
Rest assured I am a father of a 4th degree (freshman). My son got a LOA at the USMA (West Point) but no LOA at the USAFA (he is not an IC). We flew out to USAFA as a family to take a look for ourselves in October of 2011 where he had conversations with some cadets about the topic. To help him make a decision which academy to chose, my wife and I attended parent group meetings 9 months before BCT (we already knew several USMA parents).
During the AFA parents meetings is where my wife and I got the names of many AFA students. My DS reached out and talked with many students about all aspects of Academy life.
To clarify, my "kid" as you say is actually a young man mature beyond his years. If it matters, he was selected in the scholars program (top 4%). While my DS didn't "even go through recognition yet", he doesn't feel it is as "highly restrictive" as you paint it out to be. He is very confident in his beliefs and would welcome a mature debate.
This topic is blown out of proportion and people really just need to move on. FOr their own mental sake.
@Heather. Give our family a little credit in my ability to decipher the "state-of-the-state" at the AFA as it relates to the pressures (or lack there of) to discuss ones religious views. Before he decided to attend, we talked with parents groups and later a dozen current cadets. My son was deeply concerned about how he would be treated because of all of the controversial press. He is a freshman. Putting it bluntly there simple isn't a problem in 2012 in the eyes of the cadets.
Now that he is at the Academy he has drilling into it deeper and sees absolutely no evidence of any problems. Not with his teacher now with the diverse student body. He loves to discuss all topics related to religion with fellow classmates. I'd characterize him as liberal leaning.
As I said, it's not a problem. Maybe it was in the past but not in 2012.

Bromley Art Society's web site is created with a type of tool called a content management system (CMS). The particular CMS used is Drupal. The handbook is useful.
The site is hosted at United Hosting.
The United Hosting website runs on Linux and Drupal relies on other software to make it work, including Apache, MySQL, PHP. Together these make a "LAMP" system.
All these programs are "open source". That is, the source code used to produce the program is available for inspection and correction by anyone. The programs are free to use - free as in beer but also free as in speech. "Free as in beer" is good for small, penniless societies. "Free as in speech" may be more important in the long run, it means that users are not tied in to propriety products and no one else can own a user's data.

We are aiming to collect some data on the debris we find, therefore, if you can please 'sign in' when you arrive so that we can record how many people come to help 🙂
We are also going to keep all the rubbish and sort through it so that as we continue to clean the beach on a monthly basis, we hope to be able to notice patterns in what we are finding and measure if it is declining, increasing or staying the same.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Bring the kids down after school, have a picnic (we will bring the BBQ down) and help us keep our coast beautiful!
Please bring a bag or bucket to collect in, wear solid footwear, and bring gardening gloves if you wish, sunscreen, hat and water.

We so align with The NZ Association for Environmental Education's theme 'Healthy Seas, Healthy People'
I know a fair few of you already do your bit when you walk on our beaches, but today is about brining, young and old together, connecting us and our ocean to make a bigger impact – much needed after the recent storms.
Northland Regional Council have donated plastic bags to collect the rubbish – which actually grates with me – like we need more chuffing plastic! So I encourage you to bring a bucket or a recycled bag to collect rubbish. If you want to wear gloves, bring your own. We're lucky to have toilet facilities at the Cove, so you can all take responsibility for washing your hands after – or not.
We'll meet outside the toilets around one of the benches. I'll give you a form of id to say you're a part of the group as I'm hoping I can chat up Lloyd and Michael at the cafe to give us all a drink afterwards.
Many hands make light work, so any amount of time is much appreciated – you don't have to stay for the whole 2 hours.
Looking forward to seeing you.

BLUE is the story our generation need to hear. The industrialization that has occurred in the oceans over the last century, mirrors the events that triggered mass extinctions on land. Industrial-scale fishing, habitat destruction, species loss and pollution have placed the ocean in peril. The very nature of the sea is being irretrievably altered. BLUE is a provocative journey into the ocean realm, witnessing this critical moment in time when the marine world is on a precipice.
Our ocean has been the guardian of life on earth. Now it is our turn to be guardians for the ocean.

Holy Grail's formula is fantastic, consistent with the other A England polishes I've tried. Application was smooth and easy. I did find it to be a little sheer, and some of my nails could have done with a third coat, especially on my right hand since I'm worse at applying polish on that hand.
As for the colour, it's an antique-looking yellow gold and shines a bit darker in some lights. It's also insanely shimmery. Definitely a winner!

Enjoy a riverside lifestyle
Picture yourself at this exquisite Northwood Rd property, with Goulburn River frontage.
The 32-hectare (80-acre) property just outside Seymour has about 900 m of frontage to the mighty Goulburn River.
It features a rare river beach, which will provide gentle, easy access to the water's edge.
You can spend your days swimming, fishing or having a picnic on the water, with your own private boat launch.
With a 65 ML water right, the diesel pump can pipe water directly to the home site, shed and billabong, and with fertile river flats and deep sandy loam soil, you'll be able to grow just about anything.
There is power to the excavated home site, which features breathtaking panoramic views.
The lock-up machinery and storage sheds, both with high clearance, concrete floors, power and water, will ensure all your possessions are safe and well-maintained.
With a golden stretch of river frontage, just upstream from some of Victoria's finest wineries and thoroughbred horse studs, and just 70 minutes' travel to Melbourne via the Hume Fwy and five minutes in to Seymour, this property truly is one of spring's premier listings.
On the river: This property on Northwood Rd features 900 m of Goulburn River frontage.

Meet Tavon, a Cold Shop Assistant at Niche! Our favorite quality about him? He is incredibly outgoing and always has something positive to say. Plus, he has a beautiful singing voice that he uses all day long while he coldworks. Keep reading Tavon's employee spotlight to learn about his favorite modern pendant light and what he enjoys doing in his spare time.
What is your role at Niche?
I mostly do the coldworking in the Cold Shop and I absolutely love it.
What do you feel are the most important qualities as a business in the design world?
Quality and Innovation. Class, being able to improvise, and an eye for detail. But most importantly, passion.
What's your favorite spot in Beacon or the Hudson Valley? Why?
It's gorgeous here, but I don't particularly have a favorite place. If I had to pick, I'd say the Hudson River on the Newburgh side. The sunrise is absolutely amazing from there.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Music, art, skating, and reading. And then shopping like it's my job.
What is your favorite Niche pendant shape and color combination? Why?
I really love the Stamen. I also like the Pod and Ellipse. My favorite colors are Rose, Plum, and Condesa in that order. I just really like the frequency of those colors. They remind me of the sunrise and I feel like they match my vibe.

Debbie Reynolds and Martin Landau, who co-starred with Glenn Ford in 1959's "The Gazebo," joined a crowd of the actor's admirers — including Shirley Jones, Jamie Farr, Paul Mazursky and Stella Stevens — to celebrate Ford's 90th birthday at the Egyptian Theater on May 1.
"This is long overdue," Reynolds said of the tribute, echoing the night's most popular sentiment — that the Academy should recognize Ford for his career of wide-ranging leading roles in romance, film noir, comedy and cowboy pics.
The event, organized by the American Cinematheque and Daily Variety, featured soldout screenings of the newly restored "Gilda" and Ford's seldom-seen 1937 debut, as the eager emcee in "Night in Manhattan."
Ford, unable to attend in person, was represented by son Peter Ford, who pointed out the tuxedo his father sported in that first short was the one Marlene Dietrich wore in "Morocco."

Home Aquaponics Kit: Self-Cleaning Fish Tank That Grows Food
How cool is this! I've been super-interested in small home botany/ecosystems, (or rather Picosystems). This has got to be a project I will explore, soon.
I've expressed my disinterest in wanting to getting involved in kickstarter projects, after hearing about some disaster stories of projects falling out. This isn't a problem with Kickstarter, particularly, but I feel more comfortable waiting until it comes to market and purchase thereafter.
Either way. I love this idea and want to see it succeed.

Today's update brings the much-anticipated Inferno!
The Inferno has been released! Test your skills against 69 waves that gradually get more and more difficult. If you can make it far enough, you'll be pushed to the limit with the challenging triple JalTok-Jads, and finally, TzKal-Zuk. If you manage to complete it, you will be rewarded with the infernal cape.
For roughly the first week, you will be unable to get the usual boosts. Specifically, instead of starting on wave 34 or 51, you will have to start at the beginning. Of course, if you're an ironman, this won't change later on.
Because of how difficult The Inferno can be, there are two different practice modes. One is to for wave 68, and the other is for wave 69. You won't receive any rewards, but you'll be able to practice and make sure you can defeat the final waves (and with enough practice, easily) before taking on the entire Inferno. These practice modes are not temporary, they will remain in the game even after the wave-skipping is added.

Latin America
Networking and Conferences at the Effie Mexico 2015 Awards Gala
On September 29, 500 leaders in the Mexican marketing and communication industries gathered in celebration of the most powerful ideas in the field.
This year marked the 16th consecutive Effie Awards Gala for Effie Mexico. Under the representation and organization of the AMAP (Asociacion Mexicana de Agencias de Publicidad) which is chaired by Horacio Genolet, CEO of Ogilvy & Mather Mexico, the most powerful ideas in terms of strategy, creativity and results, were awarded. The entries underwent two rounds of judging from a jury chaired by Juan Domingo Beckmann, President of Grupo Cuervo. The jury included 227 judges, all experts in marketing and communications.
In a year when more entries were recorded, more advertisers enrolled more cases, and more judges participated, the Effie Mexico Awards saw significant development for the local Effie program. At the Gala, P&G Worldwide presented their "Like a girl" campaign, the winner of a Global Effie and a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions 2015. Colombia's National Police also presented their "Quick Anti-theft Course," which was the Grand Effie winner for Effie Colombia.
The Effie Mexico 2015 Awards Gala not only closes an edition with record entries, and was chaired by Nicolas Guzman, who is also the CEO of McCann México; but it is the largest local industry networking event celebrating marketing effectiveness. The Gala brought together nearly 500 leaders in the Mexican marketing and communication industry, such as advertisers, communication agencies, prominent media executives, and high members of the academy, all in Polyforum Siqueiros.

New Zealand Wool Inspiring the cool neutral colors of mountain stone, the intricate and textural patterns of these stunning artworks are reminiscent of ancient Mayan artifacts. The custom-blend of pure New Zealand wool and high-performance Luxcelle fibers woven on power looms has a well-defined silken finish that is elegantly reflective in light.
Oh had seen this under the wool rug tab, what effect does the high content of viscose have on the
1- the life of the rug
2- is it suitable for traffic in a living room
3- what is the ability to clean it like
4- does it discolour?
Viscose or artificial silk, isn't as durable as wool, which is why it's typically blended with wool. It is quite beautiful but in a room with a lot of traffic it wouldn't hold up as well as an all-wool rug. As for cleaning, it's recommended to professionally clean, or if just a spot cleaning is needed, use as little moisture as possible. I haven't heard of or read anything about it discoloring any more than wool or any other fiber. Let me know if you have any other questions!
What is the wool content vs Luxelle viscose in this rug?
This piece is made up of 30% wool and 70% viscose. Let me know if you have any other questions!
We encourage any discussion or questions concerning this product. Our goal is to personally respond to any questions placed during business hours within 30 minutes.

ELEVEN: land of 10,000 lakes
The drive back from Fortune to St. John's was as pretty, if not even prettier, than the drive from St. John's to Fortune. Especially the Burin Peninsula part of the drive. And this time, knowing that there were practically no predetermined spots for stopping and enjoying the views, we made an effort to pay more attention and stop wherever the views were nice (too often) and the road permitted (not often enough!).
Flowers, water, green and rocks, sun and fog. A beautiful, simple pleasure.
We arrived to St. John's for our last two days. And what a fantastic last two days were! I will try to sum it all up in one last post next time.

ELEVEN: Ongi Etorri?
Finally, it was time to go to France! In case you don't know, the islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon are not a Canadian territory with French culture (like the Province of Quebec), they're actually part of France, and have been since 1670 (with a number of interruptions). So, early in the morning, we took the Arethusa ferry from Canada to France. It was a short ride, just under two hours, with lots of wind (lots, enough to soak one side of the ferry – and passengers - wet), and the occasional whale sighting.
We stayed the whole day in Saint-Pierre, spent the night there, and returned to Canada next day. Most people seem to make it just a short day trip, arriving in the morning and leaving in the afternoon. But we thought this very peculiar place deserved at the very least a full day...
Mais cést vraiment la France ici!
Things we noticed right away? Well, to begin with, even though France is over 3,800km away, they use the Euro! Not only that, the smaller places ONLY take Euros! And once you have your Euros and start dealing with people, if you happen to speak French, you realise that these people speak with a rather metropolitan French accent! Not with a Canadian French accent, not with a Norman or Breton French accent (the island was resettled in the 1800's with Basques, Bretons and Normans), but an accent reminiscent of that of Paris! Obviously, jumping to the closest boulangerie (bakery) was de rigueur to complete the first French impressions, and that's where we had our next surprise: the Basque influence.
Amongst many things, at the bakery they had what they called a "baguette basque": a delicious bread with prunes, corn and something else I can't remember. Very, very tasty.
Ongi etorri? Zazpiak bat? Chez Txetxo?
Not only did they have a Basque-style baguette (if you're Basque and have never heard of this kind of bread, consider it might be a recipe lost in Europe and preserved here). Due to Basques being part of the recent settlers of the island and Basque being still spoken until the 1950s (or the beginning of the 20th century, depending on who you ask), they have Basque culture festivals, there is a well-known Basque restaurant (Ongi Etorri, which means "Welcome" in Basque, and where we unfortunately couldn't have dinner because, apparently, Saint-Pierrais love to dine out!), a local bar called Chez Txetxo (the kind of local bar where you feel really, REALLY conspicuous walking in), and a Jai Alai court with Zazpiak Bat written on it. What does Zazpiak Bat mean? It means "The seven are one", and refers to the seven traditional Basque country provinces: Álava, Gipuzkoa, Biscay, Navarre, Lower Navarre (all in Spain), Soule and Labourd (both in France, and the last one the place of origin of many of the Basques of the islands). A French territory with Basque influence off the Atlantic Coast of Canada, how about that!
L'Atelier Gourmand
Given our failed attempt at having a second anniversary dinner at Ongi Etorri, we went to L'Atelier Gourmand. What a delicious choice! People were happy to hear some tourists making an effort to speak French, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant passed my chef test: there was nothing vegan on the menu, so I explained to the waiter that I was vegan, that I knew the place was good, and that I trusted the chef to cook whatever he fancied as long as it was vegan. What a damn good chef and a damn good pasta, even presented in style!
Illegal alcohol and legal beheadings
The good thing about small local museums is that they hold things you'd completely miss and walk past in bigger museums, but that become really interesting because they are in context. We visited the Musée Héritage, in a big old house with fascinating artifacts relating to everyday life in the island: religion, medicine (oh, the horror of the medical tools of yore!), and alcohol production (when alcohol consumption and sale was restricted in Canada and the US, guess who was happy producing and selling?). For a more sobering experience, though, there is also the Musée de l'Arche, with a fascinating exhibit of photographs of old Saint-Pierre (that's what you would call a rough life, with such inclement weather) and the continent's only guillotine, used only once (fortunately) but operated by a recent immigrant coaxed into it (yikes).
Colours in the fog, anyone?
The town itself is really quaint, with small streets, brightly coloured (blue red, green, purple, orange…) traditional houses, and some amazing views from the hills above, which were beautifully verdant. I would have hiked quite a bit, but it was drizzling, and that night was the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games and we didn't want to miss that! LOL BTW, the weather changed about as often and unpredictably as in St. John's, with sun, drizzle and fog all alternating during the day.
Next day, it was time to leave this unique bit of France and head back to the bigger island of Newfoundland, Canada, for the long drive back to St. John's. I'm so glad we made the effort to come and see an interesting part of history and enjoy the Saint-Pierrais hospitality.
Now, I thought I was almost done with this trip's posts, but I've taken another look at the photos, and I'm afraid there's at least two more posts coming! Until next week!
