Garioch Sports and Community Centre Holdings Mentor Profiles
The Garioch Sports Centre's purpose is to deliver sports and community services primarily for the public benefit of those residing within the Garioch area of Aberdeenshire. They are on their second CCF project and are currently working to reduce energy and travel related emissions in their community.
Garioch Sports and Community Centre Holdings Mentor: Audra Booth
My career experience over the past 14 years has been focussed on the development and sustainability of golf clubs in my roles of Regional Manager, Club Development Officer and Golf Club Manager. These roles although sport specific, involved providing leadership and support to committees in pursuit of their objectives ranging from improved governance, business planning and guidance towards relevant funding streams. Since joining the Garioch Sports Centre I have use these transferable skills in my role of leading the Climate Challenge Fund project. I have a qualification in carbon literacy, and a Green Champion having attended workshops and courses.
The challenge of concentrating my focus of tackling climate change and reducing carbon emissions has been extremely enjoyable. Our project involved making energy efficiency improvements to the sports centre and working with our local community through workshops and events giving home energy advice in an effort to drive down domestic energy demand, and examples of lower carbon travel options.
I have been involved in 3 CCF applications, which include a successful 2nd round of funding for the centre, helping make further improvements to the building and ensuring continuity of our community engagement work in the Garioch area. The Beaton Hall at Methlick were also successful in securing funding for new windows, LED lighting and insulation along with a community engagement aspect.
Both these successful applications were achieved through excellent communication skills along with sound working relationships. A collaborative partnership with Home Energy Scotland was vital to the success of these projects.
Areas of experience:
Home energy advice; community building refurbishment; active travel; repair/refurbishment; carbon literacy; climate change engagement; renewable energy
Project management; finances; marketing; funding applications; monitoring and evaluation; business development; volunteer support and management; community engagement; consultation; facilitation
Type of support offered:
support to develop ideas/applications; trouble-shooting advice for projects underway; support to build organisational capacity
Mentoring offered through:
One-one advice; running workshops with a team
If you would like to arrange mentoring support from Audra Booth contact Claire Gibson email@example.com
Garioch Sports and Community Centre Holdings Mentor: Alan Still
I have been involved in five successful CCF applications and directly involved in two projects.
In my voluntary role as Captain at Royal Tarlair Golf Club (RTGC) I successfully applied on two occasions to the CCF. I took a hands-on role by overseeing the entire programme successfully working alongside the Project Lead. The CCF project enabled the club to come from the brink of going under to a now sustainable community sports organisation, a far cry from that of four years ago. Reductions in utility bills, visible improvements to the fabric of the building and a community engagement programme aligned to a car sharing scheme and a carbon reduction information programme was well received and is still in place today. We had numerous site visits from sports clubs and community organisations seeking to replicate the excellent work undertaken at RTGC.
Currently I am employed by the Garioch Goes Green project as Admin/ Co-ordinator. I work alongside the Project Lead embedding the behaviour change message into the overall centre purpose of 'health and wellbeing to the Garioch Community.'
Similar to the work undertaken at RTGC, facility improvements and engaging with various partner organisations and activity users to promote actions to combat carbon emissions, is our priority. Both projects have been hugely successful, one being predominately rural and the other a coastal settlement.
With the experiences gleaned from these projects I believe I have the perfect background to mentor community organisations to increase the energy efficiency of homes and community buildings.
Areas of experience:
Home energy advice; community building refurbishment; active travel; car clubs/car sharing; repair/refurbishment; renewable energy
I was involved in the Royal Tarlair Golf Club Turbine project which gives the club financial security for 25 years and a yearly Community Fund of £3,200 for groups to apply for. I set up a team and applied successfully for CARES funding for a Feasibility Study to see what Solars are a best fit for the Garioch Sports Centre

What Does "Rigor" Mean in the World Language Classroom?
Last week, #LangChat participants tackled a much-used buzzword in education. It seems that "rigor" gets thrown around a lot by educators, but the definition remains somewhat unclear – especially in the world language classroom. As many participants pointed out, the dictionary definition of "rigor" is certainly not in line with the goals of most teachers. Webster's dictionary defines "rigor" as "harsh inflexibility, a condition that makes life difficult, strict precision" – which does not describe a supportive, healthy learning environment!
Nevertheless, as @tmsaue1 pointed out, learning can be difficult and uncomfortable, particularly in the world language classroom, which often forces students out of their comfort zone. But that can be a good and important thing. Learning in a language other than one's own is one of the greatest academic challenges any person can face, thus making the performance-based world language classroom rigorous by default. At the same time, a world language classroom where students play games all day, perhaps acquire vocabulary, but are ultimately unable to communicate, is not a rigorous classroom.
– Follow the blog on Bloglovin –
Participants sought to reclaim the word and apply it to the world language classroom in a constructive way. For some, rigor is an ideal to which teachers adhere; for others, rigor in the classroom can be student-driven, as well. Still others decided it refers to the nature of the material taught in class (for example: depth versus breadth). Ultimately, any and all of these re-definitions of "rigor" are useful for the world language teacher seeking to help his or her students acquire the target language and become truly proficient.
Teachers and "Rigor"
"Rigor" can represent an ideal to which teachers themselves aspire. Participants shared their thoughts on how teachers can apply the idea of "rigorousness" to themselves and their teaching:
- @dr_dmd believes that teachers should be "rigorously" devoted to ensuring that all students are successful, and looking for ways to make that happen best we can. Teachers can be rigorous not just with their students, but also with themselves: unwaveringly committed to being the best teachers we can be.
- For @pamwesely, "rigor" is achieved when there is a connection between lesson objectives, activities, and assessments.
- To @CoLeeSensei, a rigorous class focuses on depth in learning, use and application of the target language, rather than breadth (number of tenses or vocabulary words memorized).
- @MartinaBex re-defined "rigor" as "the quality of being extremely thorough, exhaustive, or accurate," thereby facilitating acquisition of the target language. She went on to say that this means challenging each student at his or her level through differentiation, which provides appropriate challenges for progress.
- @DiegoOjeda66 believes that rigor in education is synonymous with having high expectations. Teachers create a rigorous learning environment when they have high expectations for their students and give them the tools to meet those expectations.

Rigor and Efficiency
@DiegoOjeda66 went on to note that while "rigor" may have a different meaning in other contexts, in education, rigor and efficiency are very much related. Using in-class and out-of-class time effectively to attain proficiency represents rigor. @tmsaue1 noted that some teachers think because their students can conjugate in three different tenses, their classes are "hard" and "rigorous;" he contested that this is not the case. If students cannot use those tenses in context, then the time spent memorizing them was wasted, and the class was not "rigorous" because it failed to get students closer to proficiency. As @espanolbartlett pointed out, rigor means getting students to hone higher thinking skills in L2; rote memorization does not do this. Similarly, @CoLeeSensei shared that a teacher who holds him or herself to rigorous standards will ask students "what didn't you know that you needed to know to do this" to refine activities and assignments to students needs for more efficient learning in the future.
But a rigorous classroom is not exclusively or overly focused on student output. As @MartinaBex noted, many teachers believe that using a lot of communicative activities in the classroom indicates rigor. But she believes her class to be much more rigorous now that she focuses more on input, rather than output. @SECottrell agreed, noting that world language teachers often overlook the importance of input when they focus so much on output, pushing students to use language that they don't have. This represents an inefficient use of class time, and if "rigor" is associated with "efficiency" (as @DiegoOjeda66 suggested), a classroom that focuses too much on output without appropriately preparing students cannot be rigorous. @dr_dmd pointed out that teachers need to be rigorous about their own part in the process.
Teachers, Administrators, and "Rigor": Aligning Expectations
Many participants noted that school administrators may have a different sense of the meaning of "rigor" than teachers. For example, administrators may be more concerned with rigorously preparing students for standardized testing and AP/IB exams, while teachers are focused on actual language acquisition. Participants notes that exams like the AP can help teachers and students set appropriate
goals, but teachers must not lose sight of the larger goal of language acquisition and proficiency. Teaching to the test allows many students to pass who actually unable to communicate in the target language.
To help get teacher and administrators goals in line, @dr_dmd suggests inviting an administrator to observe an excellent lesson focused on authentic communicative learning opportunities where students are appropriately engaged for acquisition. @SrtaLisa's department brainstormed ideas for how to explain the goal of world language teachers (to develop higher order thinking skills in L2) to non-language teachers here: http://t.co/nuOCa3Wt

The Role of Student Motivation in Creating a "Rigorous" Learning Environment
A rigorous classroom needs more than a capable teacher; students must be engaged in their own learning. It is up to the teacher to motivate students to take personal responsibility for their learning and to be actively engaged in class. Participants rightly differentiated terms like "rigor," "fun," and "engagement."
- @DiegoOjeda66 stated that a fun class with no rigor is just a fun class; however, a class can still be fun while being rigorous, and will leave a lasting impact on students.
- @tmsaue1 reports that he has seen classes that are engaging and fun, but that did not challenge students to learn anything new. Such classes cannot be called rigorous.
- @pamwesely believes that rigor does not necessarily equal student engagement. Rigor suggests active, progressive learning as well as engagement.
It can be a challenge to cultivate motivation in students. Many participants reported that their students often as for "free days" where the focus is shifted away from actual learning. @SraHoopes says that her students don't ask for "free days" because they know it's not going to happen. She established early on that class time is too valuable to waste on "free days."
So how can a teacher help students contribute to "rigor" in the classroom? @CoLeeSensei shared that it's important to offer students the opportunity to strive for and choose their own levels of achievement. She offers students "level up" options in oral assessments, which include things not explicitly taught in a particular unit. She is consistently impressed at how students take these opportunities that lead to excellence.
Many thanks to all our participants for their engagement and insightful contributions! A special thanks to @dr_dmd for moderating the evening's discussion.
We invite all participants to suggest topics for future #LangChats on our wiki. Participants are also encouraged to vote in each week's poll to help choose that week's topic.
Join us Thursday, October 11th at 8pm EST (5pm PST) for the next #LangChat!
#LangChat is an independent group of world-language education professionals who come together every week via Twitter to share ideas and discuss pressing issues in the world of education. Check out the #LangChat wiki for more information about our goals and the team behind it all here. These weekly discussion summaries are sponsored by Calico Spanish as a service to the world-language community.

Dvorak, Grabner keep Coyotes howling with 4-2 win over Kings
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Before Arizona's seven-game homestand began, several players spoke about winning five to get back into the playoff race.
The surging Coyotes have even exceeded those expectations.
Christian Dvorak and Michael Grabner each scored two goals and Darcy Kuemper made 33 saves to win for the ninth time in 10 starts to lead the Coyotes past the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Saturday night.
Dvorak's second goal broke a 2-2 tie midway through the third period and Grabner scored on a breakaway with four minutes remaining as the Coyotes won for the eighth time in nine games while setting a franchise record with their first 6-1 homestand.
"We knew it was a huge homestand for us," Dvorak said. "We had to treat every game like a playoff game. It is huge to get 12 out of 14 points. But we can't be too high. We have to take that on the road now."
The Coyotes, pushing for their first playoff appearance since 2012, are one point behind Minnesota for the final Western Conference wild-card berth with a game in hand.
"It's a playoff atmosphere out there for us," Grabner said. "We have to win every game. That's how we look at it. And it's been a lot of fun."
Dvorak and Grabner scored about two minutes apart in the first period, showing no rust after extended down time. Dvorak missed the first five months of the season after surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle before being activated in late February, and Grabner was playing his second game after missing 41 with an eye injury.
"A lot of hours," Arizona coach Rick Tocchet said of the recovery process. "They are here at 7 am. They are skating by themselves. They've been doing it for three, four, five months.
"And this is why they did it, right, for the hope of being part of something. They are a piece of what we are doing right now. I give them a lot of credit."
Adrian Kempe and Carl Grundstrom both scored and Drew Doughty had two assists for the Kings, who have lost 13 of 14.
The 21-year-old Grundstrom tied the game at 2 with his first NHL goal at 3:44 of the third period. Grundstrom, promoted from the American Hockey League on Saturday, was acquired from Toronto in the trade for Jake Muzzin on Jan. 28.
"It was good to see him get rewarded," Kings coach Willie Desjardins said. "He does do quite a few things, and it is not just the big things. He does a lot of really small things that sometimes go unnoticed. He fit right in."
Dvorak tipped in a slap shot by Jakob Chychrun from the left point on a power play to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead at 7:23 of the first period. Dvorak underwent surgery for a torn pectoral muscle early in the season and had his first goal in six games since being activated. He had 15 goals in each of his first two seasons.
Grabner's fifth short-handed of the season gave the Coyotes a 2-0 lead two minutes later.
"We'll take those goals, but the biggest thing is to kill off those two minutes and get the momentum on our side," Grabner said.
Kempe used his speed to score late in the first period to make it 2-1, beating a Coyotes defender along the boards and skating in on Kuemper.
"Once they tied it up, we started to push a little more and take over the game and play our game," Grabner said. "The struggles were at home, and I think we figured that out a little bit. Now we have to go on the road and play the same way and build off this homestand."
NOTES: Kuemper has given up just 16 goals in his last 10 starts. … The Coyotes have 14 short-handed goals, second to Calgary (16). No other team has more than nine. … The Coyotes have won seven of their last 10 against the Kings. … The Coyotes are 25-1-1 when leading after two periods. … Kings forward Anze Kopitar, held scoreless, has 24 goals and 66 points in 66 career games against the Coyotes. … Los Angeles' Jack Campbell had 28 saves while starting for Jonathan Quick, who has given up 26 goals in his last six starts.
Kings: Finish a two-game trip Sunday at Anaheim with the second of back-to-back games. The teams will play three times in a 13-game span.
Coyotes: Open a two-game road trip Monday in Chicago, where former Blackhawk Vinnie Hinostroza had a two-goal game in the Coyotes' 4-1 victory Oct. 18.

It's All In The Details
Posted on 28 November 2015
Until recently socks were basic and non-descript, but necessary afterthoughts to a guy's wardrobe. Most often socks were purchased on an as-needed basis when an old pair wore out. Black, grey, navy plain shades or perhaps woven with a classic argyle pattern were the norm. Boring, boring, boring.
Then, about 3 seasons ago, like the first smell of spring in the air, socks officially burst out of that boring category and emerged as exciting fashion accessories.
Today, bright, colorful socks woven with themed or fanciful patterns are one of our most popular items and guys spend almost as much time deciding which socks to buy as they do ties.
Many fashion gurus consider the tie to be the most important component of a man's suit. A great tie will give even the less costly suit a far more expensive appearance. And a poor choice will drag down the appearance of an expensive suit. And with most men's suits being variations of navy, black, grey or brown, it was the tie that allowed a man to express some individuality and character. Thankfully, we can now add socks to the list as a means of expressing individuality and creativity!

Achieving Continuous Application Availability with Zero Data Loss as a Service
While some organizations are adopting disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), many organizations still have their hands tied when it comes to using the hybrid cloud to protect business-critical data and ensure business continuity. Still others are offloading disaster recovery operations to cloud service providers without fully understanding the risks of doing so. The problem is, current DRaaS solutions cannot guarantee zero data loss and continuous availability of their critical applications; once a disaster occurs, data loss is guaranteed—along with protracted recoveries, downtime, and other untenable risks. The good news is that there is now a solution. Axxana's Phoenix for Oracle on Microsoft Azure raises the bar for DRaaS by making zero data loss and continuous availability the new norm at any distance—and while alleviating the costs and complexity of implementing, staffing, and maintaining a standby DR site.

Nutrition Studies
The Nutrition Studies track is for students who have a strong interest in nutrition but do not want to become a Registered Dietitian (DPD track) or do not want to take the additional science requirements for the Nutritional Science track. Students who choose to follow this track will have more flexibility in coursework choices. This track does not meet all of the academic requirements to become a Registered Dietitian.
Please see the University Catalog for degree requirements and the Nutrition Studies track requirements. Note: these requirements are for students with a bulletin year of fall 2014 or later. If your APAS has an older bulletin year, please contact your advisor to learn more about your requirements.
This track offers 24-30 completely free elective credits. While students can choose any classes to fulfill these 24-30 credits, it would be wise to choose courses that would be helpful for future job opportunities. Additionally, these credits can be applied to an undergraduate minor. Available minors and their curriculum can be found on the University Catalog. Students should work closely with their adviser to discuss future career goals in order to determine what classes to elect for the coursework plan. For more explanation about these career options and other career paths for Nutrition graduates, please see the Jobs and Opportunities page.
The types of professional programs that this track can be used to prepare for include health sciences such as medical, dental, pharmacy and Physician Assistant programs. This track can also be used to prepare for a career in laboratory research. However, note that professional school entrance requirements may vary considerably from the courses in the Nutritional Science Track. Some schools require science courses like anatomy, genetics, lab medicine and pathology etc, while other schools want coursework heavy in psychology. It is important to research the requirements of post-baccalaureate programs and work with your adviser to fit these courses into your curriculum.

Cooler Master at CES 2018: New MasterAir G100M and MA410M, MasterLiquid ML240 SMART CPU Coolers
Cooler Master at CES 2018: New MasterAir G100M and MA410M, MasterLiquid ML240 SMART CPU Coolers
LAS VEGAS, NV — Cooler Master has announced a new air-based CPU cooler at CES 2018, the MasterAir G100M. Also announced is addressable RGB LED lighting with a new temperature detection feature for their liquid and air coolers. The new MasterLiquid ML240 SMART all-in-one CPU cooler and new MasterAir MA410M come with the new addressable RGB lighting which allows for syncing with a variety of vendors existing certified products including ASUS, Gigabyte, ASRock, and MSI.
MasterAir G100M
The Cooler Master MasterAir G100M features a new custom heat column technology which is designed to increase the direct contact surface area for better heat dissipation and cooling performance. The entirety of the 46.3mm high column is enabled to move heat from the processor in the shortest and quickest way possible. The MasterAir G100M features a TDP of 130W which is similar to be quiet!'s Shadow Rock low profile cooler for speculative comparison. The G100M is designed for low profile systems and with more compact builds in mind, certainly not for massive overclocks due to the svelte size and TDP. Also featured is an RGB ring and fan which are compatible with RGB enabled motherboards.
Certified Addressable RGB LEDs with Temperature Detection – MasterAir MA410M and MasterLiquid ML240 SMART
Also announced at CES 2018 are Cooler Master's new RGB LED lighting with temperature detection CPU coolers, the MasterAir MA410M and MasterLiquid ML240 SMART. Both these new coolers have addressable RGB LED lighting with temperature detection. The MasterAir MA410M and MasterLiquid ML240 SMART's addressable RGB can be synced up with compatible and certified devices from companies such as ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock, which should offer better customization with existing products such as peripherals, motherboards, and even VGA. The new SMART temperature detection allows for the changing of the RGB lighting based on the CPUs temperature which isn't necessarily a new feature on the market but is certainly new to Cooler Masters range of cooling solutions. Other products which will feature the temperature detection include the MasterLiquid ML240R, ML120R and MasterFan MF120M and MF122R-Addressable RGB.
Availability and pricing are currently unavailable at the time of writing.

Meaty, cheesy, savory little "open face" sandwiches are always a family favorite. After baking, slice the loaves into easy to hold individual mini sandwiches. Stuffed french bread is an easy appetizer or main meal!
The kids will think this ground beef and cheese stuffed french bread is fun to eat and the grown-ups will love a delicious, quick and easy comfort meal. Stuffed french bread is an excellent meal choice for a busy family. It's a meal in a loaf of bread, like a giant sandwich.
What is Stuffed French Bread
Cooked hamburger meat, seasonings, and cheese are combined with evaporated milk and oatmeal. Then stuffed inside a loaf of french bread and baked in the oven. Why use evaporated milk instead of regular milk, you may wonder…
What is Evaporated Milk?
Evaporated milk is real milk that has had about 60% of its water removed by an evaporation process. This process creates a much more creamy, rich, savory milk than regular milk.
There are so many excellent ways to use evaporated milk instead of regular milk or cream in your recipes and even in your coffee! From creamy desserts to savory main dishes, evaporated milk is an excellent replacement for regular milk.
The oatmeal is simply used as a "binder" and thickener. It really doesn't matter whether you use quick oaks or old-fashioned oats for this recipe. But I would NOT recommend using instant oatmeal or steel oats. And trust me, your kids won't even know they're eating oatmeal. Ha!
How to Make Stuffed French Bread
In a short amount of time, you'll have a delicious hot homemade meal with easy cleanup. Slice the french bread in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the middle. Set aside. Brown the hamburger meat and drain. Mix with remaining ingredients and spoon into the french bread halves. Top with cheese and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
After baking, slice into hand-held size serving pieces. These little open-faced "cheeseburgers" are creamy, cheesy and delicious all by themselves. But you can drizzle some mustard or ketchup on top, or dip them into whatever condiment suits your fancy. A vinegar-based hot sauce really adds extra flavor so put a few drops on top. And don't forget pickles on the side!
Family Favorite Stuffed French Bread
- 1 lb Ground beef, cooked and drained
- 1 ea 5 oz can Evaporated milk
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup Onion, diced
- 1/2 cup Oatmeal, uncooked, quick or regular
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Steak sauce (such as A-1)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups for beef mixture, 1 cup for topping)
- 1 Loaf of French Bread
- Preheat oven to 350. Slice the french bread in half lengthwise. Press down the inside of each half with your fingers, (or remove some of the bread) creating an indention to hold the meat mixture. Place each half onto a baking sheet.
- Brown the ground beef with the onion until the beef is done, remove from heat, and drain off the fat. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Stuff equally into each half, top with remaining cheese, and bake for about 20 minutes. Midway through cooking, check to see if the edges of the bread are browning too quickly. If so, loosely cover the loaves with foil and continue baking.
Here are some other recipes you may like. By the way, the chocolate chess pie recipe is super crazy good.

All Lives Matter (John 10:7-10)Dr. Sylvester Williams, November 22, 2015
1. black lives matter, to campaign injustice of black people by law enforcement. Originated with Travyon Martin
2. Paris France 130 people died
3. Lebanon 43 people killed
Suffering and death not just happening to black people, but all people
17.5 people killed due to "black on black" violence. Overall rate of black deaths is 4.4 (national average).
God says all lives matter. Christ Jesus says in John, I am the way, John 3:16. Jesus wants to give all of us life through eternal life. Jesus said, I am the door and all that came before me were thieves and robbers
Question is ... Does Jesus matter as much as Black Lives Matter?? We as believers should be just as bold to proclaim Christ Jesus
John 10:10- thief cometh to steal and kill
Child in the womb should matter just as much as black life (all lives). If you value one life over another, we should realize it is the enemy (John 7:10)
John 10:10 I am coming that they have life, and have it more abundantly
John 3:17 God sent son into world not to condemn but the world through him might be saved
John 6:33 the bread of God Is he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven, if any ,an eat of the bread he shall live forever....
John 12:47 came not to judge the world ,but to save the world
Matthew 18:11 the son has come to save which was lost..
Matthew 20:28 son came to give his life as ransom
John 3:35-36 he that believeth on the so have everlasting life...
All Lives Matter on tadcc02 GodTube.
|Same day:
|« Redeemed
|On Your Side »
John 10:7-10
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (KJV)

The private equity action is moving eastwards. A new survey released by the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association (EMPEA) shows an aggressive direction in investment by limited partners towards Asia, especially the Southeast Asian countries.
The Coller Capital Emerging Markets Private Equity Survey, which gathered interview data from 156 private equity investors in top Western and Asian-Pacific markets, expect the proportion of their PE allocations directed at emerging markets to increase from 11-15% today to 16-20% in two years' time, suggested the survey.
India, in particular, will see about 30% to 40% of emerging market LPs expanding their exposure to the country with about 10% of new LPs also beginning to make commitments here. This only goes on to show that India is high on radar of the LPs and that institutional investors just can't afford not to have an exposure in the emerging markets.
Advantage Asia
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of LPs expect that 2011-vintage EM PE funds will outperform developed market funds of the same vintage. More than half of LPs (54%) expect annual net returns from EM PE of 16% or more (compared with one-third of LPs who expect similar returns from their global PE portfolio). LPs have the highest return expectations for Emerging Asia PE funds, with three-quarters (78%) expecting them to deliver annual net returns of 16% or more.
While China and India continue to head the top of the list for emerging market investments, according to EMPEA's President Sarah Alexander, but growing environmental, social, and political stability in Southeast Asia is increasing attractiveness for countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia.
So, does all this point to the fact that it's an advantage being an Asia or an emerging markets focused in these times. Perhaps Yes, according to Erwin Roex, Partner, Coller Capital, "Fundraising is never easy. It always depends upon an indiviudal managers' skill, right proposition, stable team and operating in an attractive PE market. Having said that, I think that there is a positive bias from the LPs if you are a fund coming from an emerging markets."
Roex added that emerging markets now form very much a part of the allocation in the PE portfolio for LPs and from having a fringe presence in the portfoio of the LPs, they have now moved to form a core part of their allocations.
Boosters & Deterrents
The growing domestic private equity market is being seen as a huge positive by the institutional LPs. The large majority of LPs (84%) believe the participation of local LPs in an EM PE fund is advantageous. (Where LPs were wary, they saw potential misalignment of interests between local and non-local investors as the issue most likely to cause friction).
However, over two thirds (68% of LPs) believe GPs investing in India will face intense competition for deal flow. One of the biggest concerns for the LPs (58%) remains the fact that the entry valuations are too high. About 14% of LPs believed that there are a limited number of established GPs and also weak exit environments. "LPs feel that the Indian market is fully priced or perahaps overpriced and that there are more attractive investment propositions available in other markets," Roex adds.
Almost three-quarters (73%) of LPs expect GPs seeking deals in China to experience intense competition over the next 12 months. Although China is seen as the most competitive market for GPs seeking deals in the next 12 months, investors are not deterred. In fact, China will see the greatest expansion in commitments from current investors in the next 2 years, with 40% of LPs planning to increase their exposure.
Brazil has leapfrogged China as the most attractive market for GP dealmaking in the next 12 months. The nascent Asian PE markets are now perceived to be as attractive as China. While LPs are comparatively bullish on EM PE returns, the 2011 Survey revealed that investors' return expectations for an individual PE market vary depending on whether they have exposure to that market. LPs without exposure to Emerging Asia are even more optimistic than those with exposure, while those without exposure to CEE, Russia and Sub-Saharan Africa are more pessimistic—especially in the case of Russia.
The 2011 Survey revealed that ESG considerations materially impact the GP selection process for two-thirds of EM PE investors (with 22% of them having investment mandates directly restricted by ESG issues). "The fact that such a large number of LPs are factoring ESG considerations into their manager selection decisions signals the link increasingly being drawn between manager focus on these issues at the portfolio company level and the ability to create value and generate stronger returns," notes Alexander.

Audio: Hear Tape of Sal Governale's Drunken 'Stars of Satellite Radio' Set
"You are one f-cking mess," Howard told the longtime staffer
Tape of the ill-fated "Stars of Satellite Radio" gig featuring a blacked out Sal Governale has finally emerged and it's as painful as everyone expected.
Last week Howard heard reports of the Stern Show staffer's unprofessional and downright embarrassing onstage behavior from a parade of angry peers, but Monday's audio shed a whole new light on the incident.
"Sal's got a serious problem," Howard said. "You are one fucking mess," he continued as Sal sauntered in to the studio.
"I agree … Not proud," Sal conceded.
The one night event featured two sold-out sets with tickets going for $30 each and, according to other staff members participating in the show, things didn't begin to really go sour until the second set began.
Shuli Egar attempted to smooth things over by getting the audience laughing and warming them up a little extra for Sal's final act, but he got a rude awakening when Sal took the stage immediately afterwards.
"The minute he gets onstage, he's like, 'Shut the fuck up! Nobody cares about you and your act,'" Shuli recalled. "That pissed me off a lot," he told Howard. "That was only the second time in our history that I was ready to punch him right in the face."
Sal was downing vodka mixed with pineapple juice in addition to taking shots with audience members at the bar, but on Monday morning he blamed the blackout on the fact that he took a couple extra doses of propranolol, a beta blocker he has been taking to prevent "the shakes."
Howard, though, was more baffled by the bizarre tape of the indisputably plastered staffer aggressively directing onlookers to Google "pure OCD," an ailment he claims to be suffering from. Hear the full rant below.

|Medics, ambulances, wounded state and first-aid for Arma2*, Iron Front:1944
More diversity and chaos in the missions you can build here at PlannedAssault! New is the option to enable injuries, dragging and first-aid in your missions for Arma2 and Iron Front:1944.
To enable this option, on the "Add-ons" tab of your mission, just scroll down to the 'Logic/systems add-ons' and tick either the Arma2:CO First Aid module, or DAP's AI First Aid Support module. Continue to build your mission as usual, perhaps throwing in an additional 'ambulance' unit...
Arma2, from its launch, features three modules that together add a 'wounded' state, enable dragging of wounded soldiers, enable requests for assistance from ambulances and add first-aid actions. These modules (or their Arma2 community-made alternative: DAP's First Aid Support module) aren't perfect, but they add a whole new feel to battles.
PlannedAssault will take care of the placing the necessary modules in your mission, and synchronizing all relevant units to these modules.
Be warned though that the first-aid behavior resulting from Arma2's modules has some rough edges. Medics seemingly only heal their squad members, and occasionally prefer to fight distant threats instead of offering casualty care to nearby friendlies.
I haven't found the time to check out (and make provisions for) ACE2's first-aid system.
Since Iron Front:1944 is built on Arma2, it offers the same first-aid capabilities. So I have added the ambulances for the Red Army, Wehrmacht and US Army, and assigned additional medics (or Sanitaeter) to these ambulances.
To prevent ambulances from being the first unit to arrive in a FUP (form-up position), I've added delays (wait tasks) for ambulance units, based on their travel time compared to the travel time of combat units. This is something to keep in mind when playing a mission as medic or ambulance driver.
Having now had the opportunity to play missions from a medic, Sanitaeter or combat life saver perspective, I should have added support for first-aid sooner. Anyway, here it is.
p.s. I've updated the Arma3 unit database to the lastest alpha, now including sniper units and more cargo space in the MH-9 BLUFOR helicopter.

NIA team visits Bagli again
The Milli Gazette
Published Online: May 30, 2013
Print Issue: 1-15 May 2013
Bagli (Dewas): An NIA team visited Bagli again and interrogated three persons. It made enquiries with Kamalsinh Yadav, Umesh Shivhare and Pancham Sikarwar. While Yadav was grilled earlier too and was asked the same questions; Shivhare and Sikarwar were asked about their role in providing cassettes and VCR during fire arms training. A Bhopal court rejected NIA's plea demanding 90 day remand of Balbir Sinh for further enquiry (handwriting verification). Rejecting the demand the court asked why the verification could not be done during last 90 days. The court fixed 12 April for arguments.

"If you tote a camera with you to Acadia National Park, this guide can only enhance both your experience and your photos."
"If you are planning a visit to Acadia this year and you love to use your camera, look no further: this exceptional guidebook is for you. Photographing Acadia is a resource I'll refer to again and again. As they say here in Maine, this book is 'finestkind.' "
~Michael Alden, New England Images
"I found it the most pleasant and informational photo travel book I have ever read. Never have I read or found such detailed directions to fantastic locations, including roads and trails, time of day to get the best shots, suggested equipment, and all of the small details about photography that will make my trip a success. Colleen has set a new bar for travel photography guides." (Read more of Bruce's testimonial)
~Bruce Taubert, Bruce Taubert Wildlife Photography
"Your book is excellent, one of the best guides of its kind that I have read, and I've read plenty of them. I love the way you have organized the material by putting the optimum time of day and other considerations at the beginning of each local discussion. It makes putting it all together so much easier."
~Herb Fixler, Herb Fixler Photography
"This is the best photo guide I have ever read, and I've read a lot! This book has everything. I've visited Acadia at least 30 times over the years, read LOTS of books and articles about it, but I learned a vast amount of useful, new to me info from this book. This book far outdistances and outclasses everything I've read before about photographing Acadia, and is a must for any photographer going there. Further, the non-photography info makes it very attractive to the non-photographer spouse/companion/significant other."
~Paul Barcewicz (from Amazon review)
"This book is THE BEST book of its type that I've seen. The combination of locations, tips, pretty pictures and mostly putting your personality into it is a winning combination."
~J. Moskowitz
"This is the most extensive guide to photographing Acadia that you will find. I've visited Acadia numerous times, and this book highlights the iconic scenes of the park as well as areas that I had never found on my own. If you're a photographer visiting Acadia National Park for the first time or the fiftieth, this book is the companion you should bring along with you."
~Mark (from Amazon review)
"The book is beautiful, so well done. The photographs, the information and the stories are all so interesting and engaging… I would say your book is the creme dela creme. Your book sets the bar."

"Excellent book! We're heading to Acadia this summer and this book is an excellent field book for locations, hiking skill levels, best time of year for each location and so much more, plus filled with beautiful photography (I wouldn't expect anything less from Colleen). Highly recommended."
~Bob Zimmerlich
"OK, you might as well just change your name from CMS Photography to OMG Photography, because this Acadia book is freaking amazing! I can't believe that it not only has well over 200 pages, but that each one is PACKED with comprehensive info - not only background information about each location within Acadia and the best times of day and year for photo ops, but also detailed photography tips and what gear is optimal for each stop along the way. The Photography Basics section alone is worth reading in preparation for any landscape photo adventure, whether one ever goes to Maine or not. While the images alone are worthy of the best in coffee table books, "Photographing Acadia National Park" is no mere portfolio, nor is it a photography how-to book or travel guide - it's all of those, plus an adventure story!" (Read more of Lori's testimonial)
~Lori A. Johnson
"So good! Love my copy, already putting some of your inspirational juices to use. Can't wait to shoot Acadia!"
~Benjamin Williamson
"This book is exceptionally well written and the excellent images will inspire you to visit Acadia National Park, as well as other locations, to create your own images. The detailed information about the equipment and techniques Colleen used will give you ideas for your own photography that you may not have otherwise considered. The section on "Photography Basics" and the "Shoot Calendar" make this book a most valuable resource for photographers at all levels."
~Ray Turkin
"This is a great book! This is not just for photographers....anyone who wants a thorough guide to visiting this beautiful park would benefit from this book! It's more than a photography guide, beautiful photos, travel guide, history info, hiking info, oh and photography pointers."
~Kim Gray
"It is a beautiful book! The layout and design is well done, and the book is packed full of valuable information and beautiful images! It would be a "must have" for any photographer visiting Acadia."
~Ron Niebrugge, professional photographer, www.wildnatureimages.com
"… just wanted to say Thank You for your amazing book I received today....looks just incredible with just a quick thumb through it!! So many photos that draw you in so can't wait to sit down and read it all..."
~Denise Schultz
"I saw your book today and it is incredible."
~Cheri Sankey
"I've been to Acadia at least a dozen times and Colleen has found things that I didn't know."
~Jim Swenson
"I've also been reading your book and find it very engaging. It has a nice mix of natural history, park information, photo ideas, inspirational stories and of course spectacular images. A book that photographers of all levels will find valuable. The love and attention you've put into it is obvious. Congratulations. I'll be recommending it on my photo walks."
~Bob Thayer, Bob Thayer Photography
"...your books combine your superb organizational skills with your creative side. Awesome!"
~Alice Slack
"I just finished reading it and I must say I am very impressed with the amount of detail that has been presented. I am planning a visit to Acadia in a couple of weeks and now have a huge problem in figuring out which of the very many suggested locations to visit."
~Ashley B.
"My wife and I just got back from Acadia and used your book extensively.The book is a great resource...not only for photography opportunities/information but also as a general guide to the park. We spent 5 days in the park and used the book every day...Thanks again, great job!!!!"
~Steve and Alice T.
"Just returned from Maine including a week in Acadia, using your book as our guide. THANK YOU for this wonderful, educational, detailed guide. I can honestly say your book was what we (a group of 6, 2 of whom are amateur photographers, myself included) used almost exclusively to decide where to go each day. The other photographer had been to Acadia numerous times but many of the sites we visited, he was not familiar with. I wish you had many other guides! Just wanted to tell you how much we all appreciated the work you put into this masterpiece!"
~Madeleine G.

Direct marketing practices are changing in today's world, but many of these changes are rooted in the industry's history. It's important to understand the history of direct marketing in order to predict where the industry is headed.
Direct Mail Marketing
Direct mail marketing traces its roots back to Benjamin Franklin, who used it to market Poor Richard's Almanac. It surged in popularity in the 1800s thanks to the Montgomery Ward and Sears catalogs, which provided people in rural areas access to the products they wanted without leaving their homes. For some companies today, direct mail marketing has turned into email marketing to encourage people to shop online.
Telemarketing took hold in the 1970s when technological advances made it easier for companies and their customers to interact at little or no cost. Eventually, public perception of telemarketing changed, prompting the government to pass laws banning companies from cold-calling prospective customers. Telemarketing is challenging today, but businesses that take the right approach find that a person-to-person connection still pays off.
Direct Response Advertising
Direct response advertising was traditionally used by businesses that sent customers a postage-paid envelope, making it easy for them to order a product. The practice was adapted for television through the use of toll-free numbers to call, and later for email, where companies sent customers links to specific products on their websites. Today, businesses create product ads that are displayed to potential customers on the websites and social media platforms they visit.

Douglas Mattress Review: Updated for 2020
We are owned and operated by GoodMorning.com. We hire 3rd-party engineers and use public data to rate mattresses on over 25 criteria we believe important. Brands we own—Brunswick, Douglas, Juno, Logan & Cove, Novosbed, Podium, and Recore—are reviewed and advertised where indicated. Views expressed here are our opinions only. Full details.
Overall Rating
The Douglas mattress is Canada's top competitor to brands like Endy, Bloom, and Casper. Available in one firmness option, the Douglas is made in Canada using eco-foams. It has an exceptionally long 120-night sleep trial and even offers a 15-year warranty. Douglas retails at $749 CAD for a queen and can be returned for a full refund.
According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Douglas mattress is rated at 6.6 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
Owner Ratings
In May 2019, Mattress-Reviews.com surveyed over 1,600 Douglas owners who purchased their mattress earlier in the year. They've rated the firmness of the Douglas mattress as follows:
- 100% Made in Canada
- Best-in-class motion isolation*
- Eco-conscious design
- Machine-washable top cover
- 120-night sleep trial
*Top score out of 64 mattress brands.

Without further ado, our Douglas Mattress Review:
Douglas Mattress: Company Overview
|Company Overview
|Price (Queen):
|Available in:
|Made in:
|Trial length:
|120 nights
|15 years
|Where to buy:
Douglas was introduced in 2017 by Canadian bed-in-a-box company GoodMorning.com. Only available in Canada, Douglas was manufactured as a single-firmness mattress, designed using eight years worth of engineering data and customer feedback. GoodMorning.com designed the Douglas to be a value-packed, Canadian-made mattress at an unheard-of low price. They offer the same level of customer service for the Douglas as they do across their growing catalog, not to mention an industry leading sleep trial and warranty.
Douglas Mattress: Delivery, sleep trial, returns
|Delivery, Trials, Returns
|Shipping cost:
|Free shipping
|Shipping time:
|3–10 days
|Sleep trial length:
|120 nights
|Return ease:
|Company picks up
|Additional fees:
Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.
Douglas uses FedEx to deliver their mattresses directly to customers' doors throughout most parts of Canada. In some cases, the shipment can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home. Shipping is free for the majority of Canadians. The order ships by ground from Ontario, which means you'll receive your bed in 1 to 4 days in the East and a maximum of 10 days in the West. Douglas does not ship to the United States.
Part of the company that invented the 'Sleep Trial' concept, Douglas offers a 120-night in-home trial period. This is one of the longest sleep trials offered in Canada.
Douglas Mattress: Out of the box
|Out of the Box
|Delivered in a box:
|Box dimensions:
|17.5" x 17.5" x 44.5"
|Box opening:
|Scissors required
|Box/mattress fitting:
|Protection layers:
|Expansion time:
|2 minutes
The Douglas mattress arrived within the estimated delivery period. Within the box, the mattress was sealed in heavy-duty plastic to protect the item during shipping.
The Douglas mattress box was sealed effectively with heavy-duty tape. Customers will definitely need scissors or a knife to open the box. To prevent potential harm to your new mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to remove the packaging.
Once opened, the compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a 'tip-and-pull' motion to slowly slide the mattress out of its cardboard container. Simply tip the box down onto its side and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It's most efficient to do this process in the room where you intend to set up the bed.
The Douglas mattress is protected with two layers of heavy-duty plastic – one to compress it in a vacuum seal, and another to keep it tightly rolled in a cylinder shape.
Customers will need to unwrap the first layer in order to unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled up mattress onto the designated bed frame. Next, like the end of a roll of tape, find and peel back the outer layer of plastic. You can use the momentum of unrolling the compressed mattress along the bed frame to help remove the rest of this layer, which could be up to a few meters long. After completing this process, the mattress will be lying unrolled before you.
Next, cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the Douglas mattress will quickly begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattress expands to its full height. With the Douglas mattress, full expansion took 2 minutes.
Douglas Mattress: Mattress Construction
|Mattress height:
|Number of layers:
|Comfort layer:
|2" ecoLight® cooling gel foam
|Transition layer:
|2" Elastex® foam
|Support layer:
|6" Motion isolation support foam
|Cover materials
|Natural Eucalyptus Fabric
|Machine washable:
|Made in:
Douglas is a combination foam mattress. By combining different foam types, densities, and firmness levels, Douglas has designed a configuration that offers reasonable comfort, cooling, and support.
The Douglas mattress is available in a single firmness only, with the company adopting the 'one-size-fits-all' approach used by most bed-in-a-box brands.
Douglas Mattress Layers
- First layer: 2 inches of ecoLight® cooling gel foam. This cooling gel encourages a restful sleep by ensuring that the mattress doesn't trap heat. The ecoLight® foam has the durability, responsiveness, and comfort of memory foam, but it has a lower carbon footprint. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft3.
- Second layer: 2 inches of Elastex® foam. This transition layer is designed to provide spring and support. Many mattresses use latex for similar reasons. Elastex® is free of the allergy-causing chemicals found in latex.
- Third layer: 6 inches of motion isolation support foam. This thick bottom layer greatly reduces motion transfer between sleepers, and it also enhances edge support.
Douglas Mattress Cover
Douglas' Canadian-centric cover shows the brand's homegrown roots, from its mountain stitching to its red and white colour scheme. Cut from a single piece of fabric and woven together, the cover is almost seamless. The red zipper running all along the side wall is the only colour that breaks up this impressive white canvas.
As for upkeep, the top half is machine washable, a bonus for anyone who can't stand the thought of spot cleaning their bed by hand. Douglas' cover is composed of Natural Eucalyptus Fabric™. This proprietary fabric is made from sustainably farmed eucalyptus trees – stretch-knit and very soft, but also extremely durable. The cover is great for moisture wicking and breathability.

Douglas Mattress: Feel and Firmness
|Feel & Firmness
|6.6 / 10
|Edge support:
|7.3 / 10
|Motion isolation:
|8.3 / 10
|3.2 / 10
Feel & Firmness
The Douglas mattress has a medium-firm feel. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), it rates at a 6.6 / 10 on the firmness scale. The Douglas does not have excessive 'hug,' and the cooling gel comfort layer gives it a degree of softness as you lie down. Its layers of supportive foam ensure there is no excessive sinkage. This is normal for a medium-firm mattress.
Motion Isolation
Foam mattresses usually have very good motion isolation compared to their hybrid or innerspring counterparts. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Douglas is rated at 8.3 / 10 on the motion isolation scale. *That makes Douglas the best overall for motion isolation of the 60+ mattress brands tested.*
Edge Support
Foam mattresses are not known for their edge support; in fact, it is often one of the main topics brought up to mattress retailers by customers considering the switch from innerspring mattresses to foam. Douglas performs above average for edge support. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Douglas mattress is rated at a 7.3 / 10 on the edge support scale.
Due to the fact that motion isolation for foam mattresses is very high, bounce is usually very low. The Douglas mattress had an above average rating for bounce compared to other foam mattresses, likely thanks to the Elastex® foam in the second layer. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Douglas mattress is rated at a 3.2 /10 on the bounce scale.

230+ new features and changes in iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad [video]
Looking for what's new in iOS 11? Here are 230+ new features and changes in iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad.
Before ARKit launches, you can use Pixie to find your objects with augmented reality—indoors, outdoors and even through walls!
We will walk you through how to install the Apple ARKit demo app, how the app works, and what some popular developers are creating for the launch of iOS.
Prepare to be amazed as we share a new batch of impressive augmented reality example apps put together in a matter of hours with a little help from Apple's ARKit framework.
We have more ARKit demos to share with you guys, including one that renders an inter-dimensional portal in the real world that plunges an iPhone user into another world.
If you're not yet sold on augmented reality, watching these demos could change your view of the usefulness of overlaying computer imagery on top of your real world.
Apple's Watch release is still at least a month away, but thanks to 'mix your watch,' you can start building one now. The interactive web tool allows you to create your perfect Apple Watch by customizing the case color, band color and band material.
It uses stock images from Apple's website, and an image-based UI that allows you to customize each element. So if you want to see what a dark aluminum case would look like with a black leather band, simply select them, and watch the colors change.
Good news jailbreakers. The dev group A3 tweaks announced earlier today that Auxo 2, the highly anticipated sequel to their original jailbreak tweak, is nearing completion and should be ready for release sometime this week.
We first saw evidence of Auxo 2 at the beginning of the month, when the group's UI designer Sentry posted a pair of 6-second video clips teasing some of the tweak's features. And today, a much longer trailer has been posted…
The 4-inch display rumored to debut in Apple's next smartphone has received mixed reactions from the tech community. It has a resolution of 1136 x 640, meaning it's the same width as before, just a bit taller. And some folks don't like that.
Why would Apple make the display in the new iPhone taller but not wider? We're sure it has its technical reasons, but the elongated screen, to us, seems like it would improve things like movie-watching and games. Here, watch this video…
We've been waiting for months to see evidence that an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 is indeed ready for prime time, and pod2g of the Chronic Dev Team has just released a demo video of the iOS 5 untether to wet our appetites.
The simple video indicates that the highly-anticipated jailbreak is nearly ready. However, we don't have an exact ETA on when it will arrive.
Between being nearly three years behind the competition and trying to erase consumers' bad memories of previous devices, Microsoft has its work cut out for it with Windows Phone 7. The platform recently fell below 2% in overall smartphone marketshare.
The Redmond company has come up with a pretty interesting marketing ploy to attract iOS and Android users to its mobile OS: an interactive website. The page fully immerses visitors in Windows Phone's Metro UI, and here's how you can access it…
In honor of the 4th of July, we figured it was appropriate to show off this promo video by SlickWraps. The iPad wrap manufacturers have gone through unusual lengths to show off their products before, but this one takes the cake.
TUAW's Erica Sadun passes on this viral clip of a wild demonstration of SlickWraps' durability. I'll give you a hint, it involves an iPad, a SlickWrap and a bunch of explosions…
