INDONESIA: Companies turn to car rental to cut costs
The Jakarta post reports that many companies have turned to rental cars for their transportation-related needs rather than purchasing new vehicles, in order to reduce costs. The newspaper reports that the corporate policy on renting cars for business operations was a trend put in place by many companies, mostly engaged in the oil and energy business, long before the economic crisis hit Indonesia in mid-1997.

Family of girl, 4, who suffered allergic reaction are removed from flight after asking crew not to serve cashews on board to anyone else in their cabin
Thursday, 21 August 2014 - 16:06
The family of a four-year-old girl who suffered an allergic reaction on board a flight over the Atlantic Ocean claims a US carrier refused to accommodate them on their return journey because it is not 'a nut-free airline.'
The Dublin family was flying to New Jersey when the four-year-old girl went into anaphylactic shock after eating nuts served on the United Airlines flight.
She was given a shot of adrenaline by a fellow passenger and the plane was forced to return to Dublin so she could be rushed to hospital.
However, despite agreeing to fly the family on a nut-free flight to New Jersey following her ordeal, United refused to ban nuts for the whole cabin on the flight carrying the family on their return journey.
The allegation comes just days after another four-year-old, Fae Platten, stopped breathing and passed out when she suffered a life-threatening allergy attack on board a flight.

Our facilities serve
as the staging ground for new products, custom one-off systems,
and precision assembly and alignment. In-house fabrication capabilities allow us to construct system mock-ups, prototypes,
and system components.
Our optical laboratory is equipped with optical breadboards that provide a
flat, stiff surface to mount components, which can be
isolated from vibration when necessary. Available are
wealth of opto-mechanical components from commercial
vendors, including lens and prism mounts,
micropositioning stages, kinematic mounts, rails and
carriers, apertures, pinholes, spatial filters, and
Since our main
goal in the laboratory is the detection and the analysis
of light, we inventory signal-analyzing equipment,
oscilloscopes, detectors, pre-amplifiers, power supplies
and precision current sources, optical power meters, CCD
cameras, position sensing detectors, frame grabbers,
frequency generators, and a host of optical sources.
What does this
mean for our clients? A fully functional, modern,
optical laboratory equipped to perform the simplest
tests to complex physical analysis, staffed by
experienced and qualified optical engineers and
Complementing the
optical laboratory is a precision optical shop and precision machine
shop. Areas are designated for precision assembly of the
components we build with clean benches, inspection microscopes,
and various custom built assembly tooling.
Our machine shop
consists of a precision lathe and 4-axis CNC mill and other
conventional shop equipment. Recently upgraded, this shop
allows us to fabricate most of the components used in our
prototype devices and one-off systems. The ability to fabricate
one of a kind components in-house streamlines the development
process and helps keep our projects on track.
Having our own optical
fabrication facilities (staffed with well experienced optician)
gives us the ability to provide our customers with competitive
pricing on precision components. It also gives us the ability
to converse with our customers first hand about fabrication
limitations in their designs without going to the outside. The
benefit to our customer, is we bring them on the inside of the
fabrication industry.
Precision assembly is
done at our facility, whether cementing optical components,
assembling critical components and subsystems, or performing
final assembly of a prototype or one-off system.

The idea of forcing over-the-counter derivatives trading out into the open has widespread support in financial and regulatory circles. Unfortunately, the most popular mechanism for doings so would create giant systemic risks that would likely require a government bailout in the future.
It may not be a bad idea to trade derivatives on exchanges. More transparent pricing would be welcome by many market participants. (Although, we suspect that ambitious traders will simply find markets with less efficient pricing and wider spreads.)
But the idea of creating a central clearing house that would eliminate or reduce counter-party risk in derivatives trades is awful. Rather than actually reducing risk, the risk would simply be shifted to the clearing house. Worse, instead of having a diversity of market participants individually responsible for monitoring their own counter-party exposure, we would be stuck with a centralized, monopolistic monitoring that would likely increase risk.
The clearing house would almost certainly be viewed as too big to fail by market participants, which would mean that its own customers, creditors and managers would not closely monitor its risk. It would be able to avail itself of cheap funding due to its implicit government backing, which would scramble any attempt to manage risk responsibly.
Close government supervision would be unlikely to ameliorate this risk. Fannie Mae, the closest analogy to a derivative clearing house, was one of the most regulated financial institutions ever created. But it was able to control its regulators and expand its balance sheet to the point of collapse.
But if the plan is so risky, why is it getting such wide support from banks and Wall Street? The reason is simple: by taking the risks away from market participants and shifting them onto a clearing house, the plan would force the public to subsidise the risk taking in the derivatives market. It is, in short, another path to socialized losses and privatized profits. Of course it has support from the firms that would be subsidized.
In today's Financial Times, Asia-Pacific chief executives of futures broker Newedge sounds the alarm on the risk of a centralized clearing house.
"The risk we see is that…it would transfer the risk from bank to bank, to a clearing house, which, being private, would also have to make a profit and we could create a globally risky situation," he tells the FT.
Let's hope someone in Washington is listening.

Linda T. Sanchez, a Congressional candidate, left, with her sister Representative Loretta Sanchez, whom she could join in Congress.
(PHOTO: Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES From the moment the first speaker of the House, Frederick Muhlenberg, stepped into office alongside his brother John, so many sets of relatives have passed through Congress that historians sometimes liken it to prep school or college, where familial ties are an indelible part of the institutional fabric.
Yet after identifying at least 1,881 relatives who have made it to the Capitol, 16 percent of all federal lawmakers since 1789, Congressional historians are still scratching their heads to find a single instance in which a member's sister got a chance to serve as well.
"It's a sad commentary on equality in America," said Linda T. Sanchez, 33, the Los Angeles County Democrat who may change all that. With their dual victories in California's primary elections this week, Ms. Sanchez and her sister Loretta, 42, a congresswoman from Orange County who has been a heroine and a headache for the Democratic Party, are likely to become the first sister act in Congress. (Linda Sanchez's district, in southeast Los Angeles, has almost twice as many Democrats as Republicans.)
Perhaps it is fitting that they are also the children of Mexican immigrants, lawmakers and political analysts contend. Not only is California's Latino population bigger than any other state's, it is also increasingly mobilized, intent on seeing the political gains it has made at the state level reflected in national office.
"It's a sign of maturing politics for women," said Loretta Sanchez, who stormed onto the political scene in a 1996 election overshadowed by voter fraud, though not enough to eliminate her razor-thin margin of victory over a nine-term Republican congressman, Robert K. Dornan.
But are the Sanchez sisters really a sign of women's empowerment and the irrepressibility of the budding Latino vote or a political oddity born of a compromise that put them in the right place at the right time?
"The fact that the two sisters are going to serve together is more of a curiosity than anything else," said Dan Schnur, a Republican political strategist. "In terms of practical impact, once the new district lines were drawn the ideological makeup of the new congressman became pretty apparent."
By the 2000 census, California's population had inflated enough to earn an extra seat in Congress, requiring the state to redraw its intricate map of electoral districts. Democrats, eager to lock in the gains from previous contests, pushed a plan that parceled districts along partisan lines, making each one safely Democratic or Republican. Wary of losing more ground, Republicans consented, taking much of the guesswork out of future elections.
For Loretta Sanchez, who was chastised at the 2000 Democratic convention for planning a fund-raiser at the Playboy mansion, redistricting meant tacking on immigrant neighborhoods and lopping off conservative territory. For Linda Sanchez, a labor leader and civil rights lawyer who has never held office, it meant competing in a new district so thoroughly Latino that all three of the front-runners in the Democratic primary and the winner of the Republican nomination were Hispanic.
The only reason Linda Sanchez won, political observers from both parties say, was her sister's considerable influence. With no one to challenge her in her own district, Loretta Sanchez could afford to march the streets and knock on doors in her sister's district, not to mention share an exhaustive list of donors to help the campaign raise more than $500,000. Even their mother pitched in, reminding voters on Spanish-language television of the family ties between a political newcomer and one of Southern California's most well-known Latinas.
"The election just proves that Loretta Sanchez is one heck of a fund- raiser and one tenacious campaigner," said Allan Hoffenblum, a former Republican consultant, adding that Linda Sanchez stood "no chance" without her.
Though she has heard it many times, Linda Sanchez winces at the assertion of her political dependence on her sister. As a lawyer, she says, she built credibility in the community by representing farm laborers and employees in discrimination cases. In her union role, she won over workers by making sure bosses did not skirt the prevailing wage.
"It's never been questioned that brothers would run, or that fathers and sons would serve," said Linda Sanchez. "Suddenly, it's two sisters and you get the kind of criticism that `she wouldn't have been a viable candidate without her sister.' "

v2.1 Officially Complete!
There's a lot in this package that's changed. For starters, all known bugs have been eliminated and buffs are fully implemented. Most of the functions have undergone a number of rewrites, mostly because we had problems keeping addon memory down. But that's all been fixed and now I can present to you a completed SpartanUI!
As of now, SpartanUI is no longer being built by one person on his free time (for those of who you kept writing to congratulate the "team", now you know).
Many thanks to Beladona for his work and for stepping in to help optimize the code. As progress continues with new features and of course Wrath of the Lich King, his expertise will be greatly appreciated.
Also in the news, SpartanUI now has its own forums! Check them out by hitting the top-left button on this site. For up-to-date changes on the active development of SpartanUI, you can now subscribe to the SpartanUI RSS Feed
About the User Interface:
At some point, you may have realized that within the myriad of mod, bag, button and raid windows... your viewing space is a little hole somewhere in the middle. And while there are other interface mods out there that will reduce your interface to nothing but a pinhole, you can't help but wish there was an interface that just fit WoW in the first place. Built from scratch, SpartanUI was designed to "free your screen," and unlike other mods, it looks like it actually belongs to the World of Warcraft.
Features: • Now a stand-alone mod (all original code) • Zero-setup • Support for any screen-resolution • SpinCam™ • Low CPU & RAM usage (average 2% & 300K) • High-res textures (1:1 ratio support for 30" displays) • Animated bars • Instant spec browsing • Built-in XP & Rep statistics • Automatic faction watching • Integrated Coordinates • Unit AFK status • Unit casting bars • Raid Icon support • Pet & Focus support • Built-in Buff system

"Medical care can be a very important bridge to peace." That is the very foundation on which founder and first director of the hospital, Prof. Chaim Sheba, helped build Sheba Medical Center, Tel HaShomer.
Our hospital is an open hospital at all times. We are an island of peace in a turbulent region of the world.
Few medical facilities in the world can boast experts working in almost all aspects and stages of stem cell research and treatment – with recognized scientific breakthroughs in this cutting-edge field. Sheba, however, has a unique advantage: the proximity of research labs to a leading primary care hospital, where advances in basic science immediately can be translated into clinical trials and treatments.
Explore the 6 divisions within Sheba's world-class care facilities:
Sheba's Acute Care Hospital has six divisions: • Division of Internal Medicine • Division of Surgery • Division of Pediatrics • Division of Gynecology & Obstetrics • Division of Imaging • Division of Laboratories.
The philosophy of the Rehabilitation Hospital is to facilitate long term physical and emotional rehabilitation—not only short-term acute care—to help patients optimize their functional integration in society.
The Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital's mission is the treatment and caring of the sickest children with the most complex medical conditions. We are able to provide state-of-the-art care with all modern technologies available in each of our specialty units.
The Joseph Buchman Gynecology and Maternity Center (Ob/Gyn) at the Sheba Medical Center, Tel HaShomer has been Israel's leading Ob/Gyn center of excellence for four decades. Our mission is to integrate outstanding reproductive science research with cutting edge, high quality, and compassionate clinical care to advance women's reproductive health. We also seek to train the next generation of academic Ob/Gyn physician scientists and provide comprehensive education to visiting physicians from around the world. Equally important, we are committed to developing new reproductive technologies and to advancing cutting edge research in related fields of Perinatology, Gynecology, Onco-Gynecology and Infertility. Discoveries in these areas will permit the development of targeted therapies and prevention strategies.
The Sheba Medical Center, Tel HaShomer is the largest and most technologically comprehensive tertiary, university-affiliated, medical and research center hospital in Israel. We work with every major medical education institute in Israel, serving as a campus for a large number of students in every aspect of the medical and health professions. We are affiliated with the Sackler Faculty of Medicine at the Tel Aviv University and hold a unique position as an academic teaching hospital in that we provide care to patients in both acute (the General Hospital) as well as sub-acute and chronic (the Rehabilitation Hospital) departments.
MSR, the Israel Center for Medical Simulation is a world leader in simulation-based medical education (SBME) and patient safety training. Through new approaches to healthcare training and practice, MSR strives to improve patient-safety and the clinical skills of healthcare providers. By proactively exposing trainees to challenging clinical and humanistic encounters, MSR aims to reduce errors and improve the quality of care and teamwork. The name MSR has a double meaning, it is the Hebrew acronym for "National Medical Simulation Center", and it is also the Hebrew word meaning to "convey an important message".

And maybe more important, their witness of God's faithfulness showed me that God was worthy of my own trust.
I want my own children to have the same heritage of stories of Godly men and women.
For the past several years we have been adding to our collection of Christian Heroes: Then and Now series by Janet and Geoff Benge published by YWAM. Each year we've added a few more until we have a shelf full. We haven't yet read all of the ones pictured on our shelf above, but so far, we haven't found a bad one. (I know that if you are like me you have your head turned sideways trying to read the titles!) And we have dozens more to purchase if we wish.
Janet and Geoff Benge combine their well researched books with interesting facets to make a fascinating book. Many of these people had thrilling escapes and close calls that had us reading an extra chapter.
Some of the people we've read about are well-known - such as George Muller, John Wesley, and Gladys Aylward. But we've also learned about little known persons as we traveled by dog sled with Wilfred Grenfell in the Artic, visited sick women with Ida Scudder in India, and sailed in the South Sea islands with Florence Young.
These people were not perfect. They made mistakes like every human and the books sometimes mentions their failures but ultimately the glory for their lives is given to the Lord.
Many times we added to our knowledge of history. While reading about Count Zinzendorf, we learned about the early colonization of Pennsylvania. David Livingston's biography introduced us to the fight against slavery. We learned about the Great Chicago Fire in the life of D.L. Moody.
I like how these books have opened our eyes to other countries and cultures. Recently we were reading the book on Sundar Singh and his outreach to Nepal. The recent earthquake in Nepal gave us a connection to that area of the world and when we saw photos of the Himalayan mountains, it made Singh's treks in bare feet even more astounding.
Janet and Geoff Benge also wrote books about individuals in American history. We have enjoyed the volumes on William Penn and Milton Hershey in this series.
The books are listed for ages 10 and up but I read them to our whole family and the six-year-old was eager for the next chapter. And as an adult, I gained as much or more than my children from reading them.
These books are available from Amazon or directly from YWAM Publishing. Purchasing by sets or in bulk is the most economical way to purchase.
Do you have any favorite missionary biographies? What character building books do you consider a good investment for your family?

VOiCE scouts, recruits and encourages talented kids who have an interest in art and technology but have limited access to explore those subjects, college majors and careers.
VOiCE is a multimedia youth center designed to give young people real-world, work-based learning opportunities in journalism, creative writing, songwriting, music composition, videography, photography, poetry, graphic design, communications and publishing.
VOICE Video!
VOiCE was started by a group of JFG students from Palatka High School who sought out a local businessman who owned a condemned building in a drug infested area of their town. He agreed to donate the building so they could have a safe place to be when they weren't in school. After researching the history of the building, walking through all the options with the students and talking to some of the locals, it was clear how we could honor the rich heritage while creating a stimulating learning environment.
The center is located in Palatka, Florida and is operated by the Florida Endowment Foundation for Florida's Graduates, infusing both Jobs for Florida's Graduates and Girls Get IT services. VOiCE is made possible through partnerships with Representative Joe Pickens, the Florida Department of Education, the Verizon Foundation, Mobile Modular's, The City of Palatka, Putnam County, Putnam County School District, the North East Florida Educational Consortium, and the First Coast Workforce Development Board.
Because VOiCE is a multimedia center designed to encourage youth self-expression and empowerment, students design and publish a community newspaper, design and publish a retrospective on the history of jazz in the area, build and manage a recording studio, and host jam sessions between our students and the local, elderly jazz musicians.

Don't let your possessions possess you
I once worked with a man who was into the stock market. He invested every cent he had, he took out a loan to increase his shares and every day he monitor his wealth on his vast and complex spreadsheets. He did make lots of money but in the process because obsessed and wore socks with holes in because he didn't want to waste a cent. I felt that by the time he retired he would be a millionaire but not happy and unable to spend any of the money he made because he just wanted to keep making more.
He wasn't a happy man and his marriage had failed. But he had lots of money.
We can't take our material goods or wealth to heaven and to be honest, the more we have doesn't mean more happiness. In fact it is highly like to take us further away from Christ, more stressed and less happy.
Don't let your possessions possess you.

You are our employer, so its best we get to know one another to be sure the chemistry is right. Before entering into an engagement, and before any fees are paid, we want to be sure that your business and Sequoia's proven process are a fit. Toward that end, it is important that: (i) your selling price expectations are in sync with financial and market realities; and (ii) we can create a large enough target market of strategic buyers to which we will market your company.
The following is a description of the work we undertake pre-engagement, at our expense, to determine the fit of your business to our proven marketing process.
Opinion of Value Analysis
Sequoia will conduct an Opinion of Value Analysis of your business. The Opinion of Value is not an appraisal or valuation of the business; instead, it is an opinion of the most probable selling price of the business via an arm's length transaction under current open market conditions. It is also not a "price tag" for your business; when a business is taken to market, its value is determined by the buyers.
Sequoia has developed its own proprietary financial modelling and forecasting tools that are customized specifically for the mid-market and use the following proven methodologies.
1. Iterative Discounted Cash Flow (IDCF) Analysis
IDCF is a rigorous and comprehensive methodology that optimizes the maximum price of the business to the seller subject to achieving the buyer's financial return objectives. Value to a buyer is quantified by the true cash flow generated over an investment time horizon after satisfying the cash requirements of the five claim holders to the business cash flow: a) the Seller, b) the Buyer, c) the Business, d) the Lenders, and e) the Tax Authority. Determining the buyer's true cash flow requires knowing the buyer's post-acquisition capital structure, but the buyer's post-acquisition capital structure cannot be known until one knows the business value; and one does not know the business value until one knows the buyer's actual cash flow.
This circular problem is solved through an IDCF analysis. An IDCF analysis repeatedly calculates complete pro-forma financials (fully projected Income Statements, Statements of Change in Cash Position, and Balance Sheets) until a value and a capital structure are found that satisfy the objectivesof the seller and the buyer.
2. Capitalized Earnings Approach
The Capitalized Earnings Approach seeks to determine the selling price of a business by capitalizing its normalized cash flow as a function of the Cost of Equity of the business. Such analysis involves: (1) determining the adjusted EBITDA of the business over a multiyear period; (2) determining the cost of equity through consideration of industry coefficients for Competition, Risk, Profit Trend, Location & Facilities, Marketability, Industry Trends, Ease of Replication, Barriers to Entry and the like; and (3) computing the most probable selling price of the target business based on the product of the above.
Target Market Analysis
The success of Sequoia's process is rooted in the saying that "Whenever you create competition for something you possess, the possession increases in value." To create competition, we need to create a large enough list of global strategic buyers such that we are able to extract multiple offers to purchase your business from the market. Therefore, before engaging with any client, we conduct preliminary research of allied markets to your business to determine if a full market research would yield the desired size of target market for the marketing of your company.
If the Opinion of Value Analysis and your selling price expectations are in sync; the Target Market Analysis is positive; and we are both comfortable working with each other; we will have the basis upon which we can enter into a Business Marketing Services Agreement.
Each company Sequoia sells is unique. Their people, products and services, business model, industry, competitors, and value proposition are all different. Likewise, the market of potential buyers that will pay the highest price for a company while representing the best cultural fit is also unique. For that reason, the marketing campaign we undertake to sell each business is custom tailored. To prepare a successful marketing campaign for your company, we: (i) gain a thorough understanding of the business so we can clearly communicate its benefits through the marketing materials we use; and (ii) create the broadest target market of potential buyers that will place a premium on your company's value.
Custom Marketing Materials
Sequoia will conduct guided interviews with you (and any members of your team that have been madeaware of the impending sale of the business) to understand strategies, policies, and procedures of the business such as: competition, marketing, sales, distribution, customers, territories, administration, manufacturing, customer service, human resources, financial matters, information technology and security, process control, intellectual property and the like. The pool of information gathered enables us to prepare three essential sales documents before taking the business to market: (1) Anonymous Business Profile, (2) Confidential Business Presentation; and (3) Confidential Information Memorandum.
1. Anonymous Business Profile (ABP)
The ABP or "teaser" is a one-page data sheet used in the early stages of buyer contact. It highlights the fundamentals of your company and sells the benefits of your company's unique characteristics to buyers without identifying your company name, location, or other company characteristics that you deemconfidential.
2. Confidential Business Presentation
Prospective buyers are delivered an in-person sales pitch on the company. The centre piece is a comprehensive written presentation about the business tailored for the audience to which it is delivered. The presentation is based on the content of the Confidential Information Memorandum (see next section) adapted for an in-person sales presentation. It is provided only to parties that have been qualified and have signed a nondisclosure agreement.
3. Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM)
The CIM is an individual expression of the unique characteristics of your company. It is provided only to parties that have been qualified, signed a nondisclosure agreement, and have been approved by you prior to being sent. The focus is the benefit of your business to prospective buyers. The goal is to engage the buyer in discussions about your business in the context of combined resources (merged operations, new capital investment, etc.) with the buyer. Whereas it discloses financial information of your company, it is not exhaustive. Details are deferred until due diligence; after commitment has been made by the buyer to acquire your company. The contents of a typical CIM include:
Business Summary
- Business Overview
- Ownership Structure
- Major Business Lines & Sources of Revenue
- Facilities
- Company Strengths and Weaknesses
- Market Opportunities and Threats
Financial Analysis
- Summary of Company Financials
- Income Analysis
- Normalised EBITDA
- Balance Sheet History
- Working Capital Analysis
- Capital Expenditure Analysis
Marketing and Sales Analysis
- Target Market Analysis
- Geographic Market Analysis
- Sales & Promotion
- Pricing Strategy
- Competition
Human Resources Overview
- Organization Chart
- Summary of HR Status
- Key Employee Review
- Status of Existing Contracts
- Management Transition
Global Target Market
For each client engagement, Sequoia creates a unique global market of buyers specific to the company we are selling. Identifying the maximum number of qualified buyers is key. The most probable buyer does not fall into a single category or profile. Who is most likely to benefit from the characteristics of your company? Is the principal value in your customer base, your people, your geographical coverage? Mapping these benefits to prospective buyers will result in buyers that are not necessarily competitors. Opportunistic buyers may be better suited than those with an acquisition on their agenda. Lateral thinking at this stage pays great dividends.
Sequoia targets three different buyer categories for each marketing campaign we execute:
1. Strategic Buyers
Strategic buyers are companies that would gain a synergistic benefit from the purchase of your company. Sequoia undertakes exhaustive market research to identify allied industry sectors whose member companies would benefit from a combination with your business. We mine numerous leading industry databases and internet sources for companies in those sectors. Sequoia's worldwide reach stems in part from our continual investment in the same market intelligence technology found in use by multinational investment banks and corporate finance groups. These industry specific tools enable us to not only determine the potential fit of the strategic buyers, but also to identify each company's acquisition history, transaction multiples paid for past target acquisitions, and details on the company decision makers. The result of this research is a global market of strategic buyers to which we market your company. Sequoia's engagements have produced unique target strategic buyer lists ranging from 100 to 500 companies. The list of strategic buyers created for the sale of your company is provided to you for review and approval before we launch our direct marketing campaign to the company CEOs, Corporate Development VPs, and other executives within each strategic buyer company.
2. Private Equity Groups
Private equity firms are professional investors that acquire businesses using funds provided by institutions or other pools of money seeking a return from the investment in diverse business interests. Private equity firms broadly classify their investments as either "platforms" (companies with EBITDA from $5 - 10 million or more) or "add-ons" (companies with EBITDA from $1-5 million or more). Your company may have many characteristics that are highly sought after by the private equity sector. Sequoia has direct access to more than 5,000 private equity firms worldwide of which approximately 1,800 are appropriate for mid-market transactions. We have successfully sold businesses to private equity in past engagements and will directly target them in our marketing campaign for your company.
3. Sequoia's Professional Network
Sequoia invests significant time and energy cultivating its network of professionals related to the "liquidity event". We have connections with approximately 1,400 individuals locally and worldwide that are either mergers and acquisitions professionals in the field of investment banking, business succession, and tax planning or are part of a community of business advisors adjacent to liquidity events such as corporate accountants, transaction lawyers, commercial bankers, and wealth managers. Whereas our Professional Network members are not the buyers per se, marketing to them results in direct connections to qualified buyers for businesses we have successfully sold in past engagements.
Electronic Data Room - Real Time Access, Real Time Results
Sequoia will compile information about your company to prepare an electronic data room. Content of the data room anticipates all information a buyer will require during due diligence to validate the legal and financial condition of the company, its properties and assets, and other matters to satisfy itself of the feasibility of the proposed transaction. After a Letter of Intent (see next section) has been mutuallyaccepted, the content is posted to Sequoia's secure electronic data room to enable access by the buyer and the buyer's advisors engaged in due diligence (typically lawyers and accountants).
Access to the data room and its contents must be provided and controlled in a secure manner. For this reason, Sequoia continuously invests significant resources to maintain a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure to host our clients' data room materials. Our data room technology delivers:
Customizable User Access Settings
- Expire access to documents even after downloading
- Restrict saving, printing, copying
- Track and audit document and user activity
- Revoke documents remotely
World Class Security
- Leading 256-bit AES SSL/TLS encryption technology
- Two-factor password authentication
- Internationally recognized security compliances (SOC 2, HIPAA, SAS70 Type II, CSAE3416)
- Physically secure data storage with biometric safeguards plus multiple firewalls.
Once your company's marketing campaign is ready for launch, there will approximately 3,500 targets to which the opportunity is exposed. Sequoia's marketing is about much more than just exposure, however. It is a direct sales process to each party in the target market. The rigour of each campaign ensures: (i) extraction of the maximum value the market is willing to pay for your company; and (ii) identification of companies with the best cultural fit to acquire your business.
Comprehensive Email Campaign
Initial contact with the 3,500+ targets starts with a series of comprehensive email campaigns. Sequoia invests continuously in highly customized campaign management technology to initiate, monitor, and control the distribution of the Anonymous Business Profile to the target market. The campaign management technology uses the most up-to-date methods for negotiating corporate firewalls, spam filters, and other email suppression techniques to ensure maximum penetration of the target audience while complying with Anti-Spam legislation. For each deployment, our campaign management system delivers realtime metrics on emails opened, links clicked, emails bounced, blocked, and unsubscribed.
The initial campaign generates a large number of parties that have further interest in the opportunity. After a review of the Anonymous Business Profile, if the buyer has a bona fide interest, they sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) protecting the confidentiality of all subsequent communications and information transfer. All prospective buyers are qualified to determine their motivation, fit, and financial ability to consummate the purchase of your business prior to any detailed information being shared.
Target Market Penetration
We actively monitor the progress of the initial and all subsequent email campaigns. Within the Strategic Buyer segment, we strive for 100% contact with the CEOs, Corporate Development VPs, and other executives within each strategic buyer company. For each company that did not respond to the initial email campaign we initiate direct contact by telephone. Armed with background knowledge about the companyand its executives obtained from our market intelligence technology, we determine the buyer's level of interest to acquire your company and focus on the benefits that could be derived in combination with the target strategic buyer.
Buyer Engagement and Selection
Some buyers under a nondisclosure agreement may be introduced to your company through delivery of the Confidential Business Presentation. The Confidential Business Presentation is a high level introduction to the business presented by Sequoia to the target company decision makers either in person or via the web to out-of-market buyers. This forum is not only the initial pitch on the company, but also serves as an interactive session in which we further qualify the buyer.
Subject to your approval, qualified buyers are provided the Confidential Information Memorandum. Following further discovery and qualification, each buyer is introduced to you in a controlled set of conference calls, meetings, and management site visits. It is during this stage that we assert a compelling commercial thesis to each buyer that emphasizes the added value represented by your company within the framework of their operation or ownership. Likewise, we provide guidance of the range of expected commercial terms for a successful deal.
Sequoia's sales process creates an effective auction that has resulted in 3 to 8 bona fide letters of intent to purchase our clients' companies. That not only drives valuation upward, but affords you choice of who to sell your business to and the terms upon which to sell it. That is important because when you sell your company you have a vested interest in its continued growth and success since you may hold a vendor note or perhaps be landlord to the new owner of your former company. Not to mention that you would rather sell to a responsible steward of your company's employees, its brand, and its legacy.
After you have chosen the preferred buyer, the next step is to negotiate a Letter of Intent.
Negotiate Letter of Intent
It is important that the chosen buyer is made aware that, whereas they may be granted some degree of temporary exclusivity, we have not rejected the other buyers at the table; nor have we severed relations with them. To do so would ignore commercial realities of this stage of the process since retaining this right offers you choice, which in turn influences the price, speed, and terms ultimately received. The LOI documents the major terms of the sale:
- Confirmation of the price and terms of payment
- Conditions precedent: matters agreed to be resolved before closing
- Confirmation that it is non-binding; subject to a Definitive Agreement of Purchase and Sale
- Restrictive covenants such as noncompete clauses
- Recognition that warranties and indemnities are to be detailed in the Definitive Agreement
- An agreed period of exclusivity or no-shop clause
- Acknowledgement of key employee retention
- A timetable of events
Critically important is that the LOI clearly establishes the material business terms of the deal. Agreeing to agree at a later point surrenders negotiating position to the other side and increases cost, time, and frustration to the due diligence and closing process. Savvy buyers view the due diligence phase as the beginning of the negotiations in an attempt to erode value agreed to in the LOI. Sequoia negotiates the major business items before accepting the LOI as a means to circumvent that strategy and to defend the value of your business through to closing.
A business is a moving target, so what is really being sold? Is it enterprise value or equity value? How is the working capital target determined and rationalized from LOI to closing? Who settles nontransferable outstanding bank advances? Does the business have redundant assets that should not be transferred? How are allowances managed for warranty expenses, obsolete inventory, bad debts, extended and tainted receivables? How are unearned revenues factored into working capital calculations? What happens to capital leases and long term debt? These are issues that must be analyzed and documented well before the LOI phase to establish and defend the value of the business through closing. Failure to do so can ultimately result in a dramatic reduction of the negotiated purchase price at best; and a frustrated deal at worst.
The finish line is in sight, this should be pretty straightforward, right? Fact is, we're only halfway there and this is where the rubber meets the road. Somewhere between now and closing, your conviction to sell will be severely tested. Why? As soon as the Letter of Intent is signed, for the first time since you've owned your business, you won't be in total control. And the longer and deeper the due diligence is, the more stressful life becomes. Like we warn all of our clients before starting the process – "at some point you are going to lose your marbles" – and this is the time when it will happen. Not to worry though, it's normal, it happens to everyone. Expectation management is a valuable tool in closing sales.
The following steps remain to close the transaction; a process that takes typically two to three months to conclude.
Due Diligence
When writing a letter of intent, the buyer's commitments come with caveats that the closing of the pending transaction is subject to buyer verification. The time has come for the buyer to validate that what has been represented is substantially what is being bought. To facilitate, Sequoia will provide access to the electronic data room to enable select, time-limited access to the buyer and the buyer's advisors engaged in due diligence.
Sequoia plays a critical role in managing the effects of change in the mindset of the parties during this phase. Although buying and selling a company is a business matter; it is one conducted by people. When an LOI is accepted there is a distinct change in buyer and seller points of view. To the buyer, glasses once half full become half empty. The increased presence of advisors (accountants, bankers, lawyers, and wealth managers) produces conflicting information and negative viewpoints. Maintaining momentum is crucial. Sequoia's role now focusses on defending value, maintaining clear and direct communication flow between all parties, anticipating roadblocks and solutions thereto, and eliminating friction and mitigating emotions between parties adopting an adversarial stance. We've efficiently and successfully managed transactions with buyer deal teams of more than 35 professionals including subgroups from strategy, finance, operations, real estate, environmental, insurance, HR, and legal. Until the deal is done, the process remains a sales function and closing becomes the number one most important sales skill.
Momentum Management
Managing the flow of information is a full time job once there is an accepted Letter of Intent in place and due diligence is underway. It is critical to have all information requested by the buyer catalogued and accounted for to facilitate a smooth and expeditious due diligence process. Sequoia's electronic data room technology ensures that all documents and data that are accessible by the buyer are tracked from source of request through posting to the electronic data room to satisfy each due diligence item without redundancies that can cause significant delay, and in some cases, can derail the deal. Our electronic data room technology enables real-time viewing of who on the buyer's deal team is accessing what information and when. On an average deal transacted by Sequoia, the management of information flow through our electronic data room amounts to approximately 500 files representing one-half gigabyte of data tracked through more than 2,000 emails, not to mention countless phone calls, teleconferences, and meetings to coordinate the due diligence process – diligence indeed.
Assign Material Contracts
Most businesses have valuable contracts with key suppliers, distribution channels, landlords, or customers that contain change of ownership clauses that require consent, explicitly or otherwise, to assign or transfer the contract to a third party (i.e. the new buyer of your company). The realities of business dictate that the timing of these meetings be well thought out to ensure a successful outcome. Sequoia has considerable experience in the planning of these meetings and generally attends them with you and the buyer of the business.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
This is the final written agreement upon which your business is sold. The buyer's lawyer initiates the agreement. Both sides need some caution with their lawyers at this stage. First, choosing a lawyer experienced in mergers and acquisitions activity is paramount. There are many facets of business law; those lawyers focussed on M&A transactions know the ins, outs, and nuances of business transactions and are a necessity for representing your legal interests in this matter. Besides the lawyer's specific expertise, a good lawyer will: (i) focus on closing the deal, (ii) pragmatically find a way around problems; and (iii) think in sound commercial (and not purely legal) terms. Conversely, a poor or inexperienced lawyer will find ways to unpick a good deal through irrelevant distractions to the point where it becomes at risk of frustration or failure. We must agree with the buyer that both sets of lawyers are to be servants of the deal and not masters of it.
Sequoia's role at this stage is to: (1) coordinate the activities between the parties and their lawyers; keep all parties focussed on the "finish line", especially considering the emergence of matters of dispute; and (2) intermediate on business matters that may arise during the drafting of the final Purchase Agreement.
Our job is complete when the transaction closes.

Originally conceived as a TV show, the 'Trip' movies have been popular. An edited version of the third series, 'The Trip to Spain' utilises the talents of comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Portraying fictionalised versions of themselves, they travel the best restaurants in Spain in the guise of doing culinary reviews for the Observer newspaper. Their third co-conspirator is director Michael Winterbottom who uses skills for documentary-style filmmaking to good effect.
'The Trip to Spain' is almost like the premise for 'Seinfeld'. Whilst the latter was a 'show about nothing', the former is basically a loose collage of amusing incidents full of ab-libbed lunacy. Their style of humour may be an acquired taste as the movie rests firmly on their shoulders. The comedy doesn't always hit the mark but there are more hits than misses. Coogan as the arrogant lonely egotist and Brydon as the easy-going family man are a strange but amusing combination. They work well together as often hilarious sparring partners.
Fans of previous entries will appreciate how far both men have come. As the series ages, so do they with their experiences defining how they look at themselves and life in general. This has an impact on their latest journey as they reflect on where they've been and where they want to go. Whilst it's clear they are playing heightened renderings of their personas, the quieter moments have as much impact as the comedy. Family and career issues weigh heavily on both men with these uniting them.
'The Trip to Spain' is enlivened by locations and Winterbottom's smooth direction. He wrings much from gorgeous locales with the cinematography wonderfully showing off Spain's beauty. Coogan and Brydon clearly have a great time walking amongst the locales and dining on mouth-watering food. Foodies of all ages will enjoy the treats on display making it advisable not to see this movie on an empty stomach.
The quirky directorial flourishes and consistently amusing humour make 'The Trip to Spain' a trip worth taking. There's no need to have seen the other instalments although fans of the series should enjoy this just as much. Another trip with this duo wouldn't be unwelcome with the culinary comedians affable companions most would enjoy as travel-mates.

Spring 1894
The J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center
From wikipaintings.org
Spring, (1894) depicts the festival of Cerealia in a Roman street. One of Tadema's most famous and popular works, it took him four years to complete. The models for many of the participants and spectators were Tadema's friends and members of his family.
In this painting, Alma-Tadema depicted the practice of sending children out to get flowers on the morning of May Day, or May 1st, but placed the scene in ancient Rome. A great historical researcher, Alma-Tadema was meticulous about portraying the historical elements in his paintings as they actually appeared.
In this painting, he went to great lengths to portray the Roman originals, everything from the music instruments to the architectural details and dress are accurate to Roman history. He had an insatiable curiosity about classical antiquity. This painting was used a reference for Cecil B. De Mille's movie "Cleopatra," in 1934.
A procession of women and children descending marble stairs carry and wear brightly colored flowers. Cheering spectators fill the windows and roof of a classical building. Lawrence Alma Tadema here represented the Victorian custom of sending children into the country to collect flowers on the morning of May 1, or May Day, but placed the scene in ancient Rome. In this way, he suggested the festival's great antiquity through architectural details, dress, sculpture, and even the musical instruments based on Roman originals.
Alma Tadema's curiosity about the ancient world was insatiable, and the knowledge he acquired was incorporated into over three hundred paintings of ancient archeological and architectural design. He said: "Now if you want to know what those Greeks and Romans looked like, whom you make your masters in language and thought, come to me. For I can show not only what I think but what I know."
Alma Tadema's paintings also enjoyed popularity later, when his large panoramic depictions of Greek and Roman life caught the attention of Hollywood. Certain scenes in Cecil B. De Mille's film Cleopatra (1934) were inspired by this painting.
The Floralia is being celebrated, although not by that name, as the ancestor of English May Day festivals. Prepubescent girls lead the procession, like flower girls at an elegant wedding, their innocence proclaiming the innocence of the celebration, itself. The six young women with flowering sprigs who accompany them evoke two other Maying festivals: the May Queen and her attendants, and the Battle of the Flowers, both of which were popular in late-nineteenth-century England.
In this sentimental evocation of a country May Day ceremony, Alma Tadema would seem to have recalled an imagined world of beauty, order, and harmony. But the main participants of the Floralia were prostitutes and the festival, itself, a fertility rite that celebrated the renewal of nature. Although Alma Tadema seemingly has removed any suggestion of such licentiousness, there are subtle but mischievous hints that he has not ignored them all. Satyrs, ithyphallic and sexually insatiable, appear, most obviously in the two silver statues that follow the women playing the tambourines, which are decorated with images adapted from Pompeiian frescoes, one of which shows a satyr and maenad, a devotee of Bacchus given to ecstatic frenzies. Both particpated in Bacchic rites and represent physical and emotional abandon. They also are portrayed on the roundels supported the processional standard suspended high above the revelers, as well as on the capital of the fluted pilaster on the right, playing a panpipe. There, too, in the midst of the flower girls, the only male musician also plays a panpipe, looking suspiciously like a satyr, himself, with tuffs of hair swept up like small horns. There also is a battle depicted on the frieze of the temple to the left, as the Lapiths struggle to wrest their women away from drunken centaurs who have come uninvited to a wedding feast. But it is the standard, itself, so prominently displayed that most subverts the picture.
Identified at the time, it contains two lines from a fragment by Catullus (II): "This inclosure I dedicate and consecrate to thee, O Priapus, at Lampsacus, where is they house and sacred grove, O Priapus." Ithyphallic, a god of fertility and the garden, whose shrine is shown on the roundel below the standard, Priapus certainly belongs at the Floralia but his presence there does introduce another unexpected erotic element to the picture. It is yet another example of Alma Tadema artistically mixing disparate elements, as he does with time and place. The inscription on the architrave in the background, for example, is from the Arch of Trajan at Benevento, Italy; the battle between the Lapiths and centaurs from the Temple of Apollo at Bassae, Greece; the river god on the spandrel of the arch, from the Arch of Constantine at Rome; the bronze equestrian statues visible through the arch from marble originals at Herculaneum; and many smaller details from archaeological findings at Pompeii. They all are combined and changed, as well, when he incongruously adds a sheep (ram) and cow (bull) to the spandrel, representing, respectively, the zodiacal signs for April and May, the months in which the Floralia occurred. The tutelary deities for these months were Venus and Apollo, another reminder that love and music were celebrated then.
A familiar festival is decorously celebrated in Rome at the height of its imperial power, the participants surrounded by opulent marble. But then the glory of empire (and, by analogy, Britain's own) is undermined by suggestions of disorder and lasciviousness. It is an ironic portrayal, accessible only to the cognoscente, that, like Alma Tadema's The Roses of Heliogabalus, seemingly depicts no more than a shower of petals, pretty and pink, cascading down upon the banqueters. The knowledgeable viewer, however, will remember the Historia Augusta, which relates that some will die, deliberately smothered beneath the flowers for the amusement of the emperor and his other guests.

Meet Zohr – bringing a needed service, directly to you.
Company // Zohr
Entrepreneurs // Brothers Komal Choong and Anoop Choong
What They Do // With local startup Zohr, you don't have to waste half your Saturday waiting at the tire shop. Just go online, schedule an appointment and Zohr will come to you. It uses the most advanced equipment available to put new tires on your car—whether you happen to be at home, at work or stuck on the side of the road.
The Inspiration // "We're car enthusiasts and have never enjoyed visiting the tire shop," Komal said. "We always felt a serious lack of trust at traditional shops that makes the current industry experience mediocre at best. … We chose to build the business on a completely different set of values, including convenience, honesty and transparency."
That approach is working: The company has more than 500 five-star reviews.
Last year, the Choomgs were selected for the Y Combinator's fellowship program, which allowed them access to the organization's vast resources and network while staying in Kansas City.
What's Next? // Zohr has three vans in its fleet, but it's planning to add vehicles, staff and—sometime in 2018—other cities. Tire service might just be the start of what the company offers. While they're changing your tires, they might someday change your battery or oil, too.

AvD Oldtimer GP 2014: The Paddock part one
TrackandTuner visited the 42nd AvD Oldtimer GP and as always finds a huge diversity of gorgeous cars not only on the track but also around the Nurburgring. In this first part we take a look at what's driving around the Nurburgring and take a look inside the paddock to see all the beautiful cars. During the first day we already encountered a Ferrari 458 Nikki Lauda edition which was up for auction during the Oldtimer GP.
Just a bit further we saw a gorgeous Shelby cobra and the new Porsche hypercar the 918 Spyder. We entered the pit lane were we saw team AH racing with their M1 Procar ready to test the car for the upcoming races. Like every year we support them and keep a close eye on their results.
Down the paddock we saw lots more gorgeous ///M cars which we already shown here. But also a Pantera fitted with its big V8 this car did great during the weekend. Porsches in lots of different colors and menacing Ford Zakspeed which was one of the fastest cars on track. Just looking at these engines, you know they make a beautiful sound.
Not only on the track but also around the Nurburgring we saw lots of gorgeous cars. The AvD Oldtimer GP always attracts a gorgeous combination of classic and modern supercars. Just outside at the famous Nurburgring gas station we spotted a very rare Isdera, the new BMW M4, a Jaguar testing car (we now known it's a XE), a Ford GT and many more.
Enjoy the images and stay tuned for more the paddock and action on the track during the AvD Oldtimer GP.

There were several ways that a person can contaminate their relationship but one specific way that I'm guilty of is being a scorekeeper.
Overall, we as women are really good at remembering what we did for someone else and what they did for us. Isn't this specifically true with our husbands? I can mentally keep up with every single little thing that I do around the house or for him specifically. Jeremy is always calling me out for doing it. I'll say exactly what chores I've done today and he'll ask me why I'm keeping score. I keep score to validate myself and my role. I also feel the need to remind him of how much he hasn't done.
This is not a good practice. When you are keeping score you are playing a game. In a game there is a winner and a loser. Even if you win every single time, do you really want your husband to lose? Who is really losing? Probably the person who is killing themselves trying to win. But what are they really winning?

Obstacles to trade of fruit and vegetables removed after Russia harmonises levels of pesticide residues
Important obstacles to the trade of fruit and vegetables between the European Union and Russia have been removed, after Moscow aligned some of its maximum levels for pesticide residues (MRLs) with the EU and international standards. The development provides more favourable conditions for EU exporters of vegetables and fruit, such as apples and pears, grapes, citrus fruits and stone fruits (peaches, apricots, etc.).
Following specific EU requests, supported by scientific evidence, the Russian Federation amended its MRLs concerning fruit and vegetables. The amended Russian law entered into force in early June.
Prior to the alignment, some of the Russian MRLs for fruit and vegetables were excessively strict, while unnecessary restrictive measures were imposed on EU exports of these products. However, the EU and Russian Federation scientific bodies have now reached a common understanding concerning the necessary safety levels of pesticide residues for fruit and vegetables.
The alignment is expected to improve conditions for trade of fruit and vegetables between the EU and the Russian Federation. In 2009, the value of trade of these products was € 2.3 billion euros. The figure mainly concerns exports from the EU to the Russian Federation.
The dialogue on harmonisation of Russian norms with EU and international food safety standards will continue, as the Union has submitted a number of other requests for alignment. These requests concern, for example, residues in veterinary medicinal products in the areas of meat and dairy products, but also certain standards in the areas of plant health, veterinary inspection, contaminants, microbiological standards in foodstuffs, etc.

Software firm Micro Focus (MCRO) and pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca (AZN) have buoyed the FTSE 100, driving the index to fresh four-month highs on forecast-beating results.
The UK blue-chip index rose 23 points, or 0.3%, to 7,214, with Micro Focus leading the way, up 13.3% at £17.20 after a smaller than expect fall in full-year revenues.
Micro Focus had struggled to integrate £7 billion worth of assets it bought from rival Hewlett Packard (HPQ.N) in 2017, leading to the departure of its chief executive and a profit warning that sent its shares crashing last year.
'Today's full year results show some signs it can regain its credibility with investors in this regard as both cash flow, debt and revenue come in better than expected, the dividend is hiked and its share buyback scheme is extended,' said AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould.
A key backer of Micro Focus is the Crux UK Special Situations fund, which launched in September and is managed by Richard Penny, who holds 3.9% of his portfolio in the shares. It is also a top 10 holding in the Premier Ethical, Legal & General UK Alpha and Neptune Income funds.
AstraZeneca shares meanwhile rose 4% to £59.54 after reporting fourth quarter revenues up 5% year-on-year at $5.8 billion.
The pharmaceutical giant forecast a second straight year of sales growth amid a continued recovery from the loss of major patents.
Growth come from its cancer treatments, with oncology drug sales rising 61% to $1.8 billion year-on-year. Its treatments Imfinzi and Lynparza look to compete with Merck & Co's (MRK.N) main cancer drug Keytruda. China was another source of growth for AstraZeneca, with sales increasing 22% to $948 million at the end of 2018.
'The much promised turnaround is showing momentum after years struggling to fend of generic competitors to AstraZeneca's blockbusters drugs,' said Helal Miah, investment research analyst The Share Centre.
Expansion into emerging markets was paying off, with sales up 12% in the final quarter, said Miah, as he maintained his 'buy' recommendation on the stock.
'Overall this is an encouraging set of results and closely reflects that of their peer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), both of whom are successfully meeting the challenges of generic competition finally with investments in research and development and expansion into faster growing areas of the world for healthcare needs.'
Fund manager Jeremy Hewlett is among the highest conviction backers of AstraZeneca, with a 7% position in his Mirabaud UK Equity High Alpha fund.
Convatec (CTEC) was the heaviest 'mid-cap' faller, down 18.6% to 120.8p as the medical device maker reported a 6$ slump in 2018 earnings.
Restaurant Group (RTN) was another big FTSE 250 faller, down 13.3% to 126.6p, as chief executive Andrew McCue stepped down due to 'extenuating personal circumstances'.
This comes shortly after the Frankie & Benny's pizza chain owner bought noodle restaurant Wagamama in October.
Brexit uncertainty also weighed on the pound, which dipped further against the euro and the dollar, down to $1.281 against the US currency.

Delightful! ★★★★★
by Moops178 – Dec 9, 2016
This book is to be enjoyed on so many levels. The photography is a visual delight. The cheese knowledge one will gain takes you from its region to pronunciation, to serving it on the table with added recipes to enjoy. If you are a fan of cheese, as most of us are, this book will be a little treasure.
What a great interactive book about cheese! ★★★★★
by "Z" – Mar 25, 2016
Perfect interactive book for the cheese aficionado or the person who wants to become one! This gem of a book is packed with so many things about the cheeses I truly enjoy…and made me want to try some more! The information provided throughout allowed me to truly appreciate the different types of cheeses, how they are made, and the differences between the flavour and texture. It also gave me great ideas on what foods to pair them with and helped me with the various pronunciations. What a great addition to my digital book collection!
Cheese done right ★★★★★
by DarylFr – Jun 20, 2016
I have to say that this I-BOOK is among the BEST food books that I have purchased in a long time, why you ask, well let me tell you. It tells you how cheese was started. I found this wildly informing only because most, if not all, I did not know. It tells me how a cheese is made and where its make, its origin. The pop-ups are both fun and interesting, Children would love these I'm sure as much as I did. It pairs up some recipe Platters with events, times of the year, and no I did not wait till the Autumn Cottage time, had to try that one now. Yes, this iBOOK is worth your read.
Luxe cheese lovers delight! ★★★★★
by Sprintpixie – Dec 10, 2016
Graphically luxe, this iBook is so much more than a guide on how to pronounce cheese names — it's the digital coffee table book every turophile or wannabe Cheesemonger wants to flip through. From history to how-to's and inspired pairing ideas, every major cheese category is covered in such an engaging and visually rich design. There is something in here to learn and savour for everyone from kids to the most well-travelled palate. As a Cheesemonger myself, we could do well with one of these at the counter!

CSIC is working on a collaborative project on:
Automated generation of as-built BIM models for bridges
The project, led by Professor Campbell Middleton, aims to produce the modelling tools and standards needed to automatically obtain semantically rich BIM models of existing bridges.
The main goals are:
- automatic generation of 3D geometric models of existing bridges from point cloud data, obtained using specific technologies (video/photogrammetry, laser-scanning)
- generation of IFC-compliant BIM models that integrate the 3D models generated with sensor location and pre-processed data.
CSIC is hosting a workshop to discuss data collection, data modelling, and the extension of existing IFC standards, and would greatly appreciate your input in this knowledge sharing and scoping session. The workshop will be led by key staff Dr Jennifer Schooling, CSIC Director; Dr Ioannis Brilakis, expert in the field; and 2 of the researchers working on the project, Dr Viorica Patraucean and Manuel Davila.
