Seifert, 2000
A polycalic colony comprising 40 nests was found near Puhos/Finland on 13 July 1996. It spread over a fresh-dry grassland that was situated between the southern margin of a medium-aged Betula wood and the S-exposed slope of a road ditch. Plant species growing near the nests were Dianthus sp., Prunella sp., Galium sp., Melampyrum nemorosum, Dactylis glomerata, Potentilla erecta, Scabiosa sp., Alchemilla sp. The nest construction was of typical Coptoformica type and the largest nest mound measured 70 × 45 cm (diameter by height). Queens were deep in the soil and only three dealate queens could be collected at ground level. The Caucasian sample of fennica was found on a short-grassy, 20°N-exposed mountain pasture at 1600 m and collected from an isolated monodomous colony. The large size of the workers in this nest strongly suggests monogyny. (Seifert 2000)

Seifert (2000) - Close relationship of Formica fennica to Formica manchu is indicated by the similarity of workers. The two taxa differ from all other Palaearctic Coptoformica species by significantly longer heads (CL/CW 1.067-1.073). F. manchu and fennica further share the character combination of conspicuous eye hairs (mean EyeHL 23-28 μm), complete absence of setae from first gaster tergite (mean TERG 2.9-3.4), rare occurence of setae in the ocellar region, and very dilute tergite pubescence (mean sqrtPDG 7.6-7.9).
The Formica manchu cluster represented by seven nest samples with 34 workers from Mongolia, N Tibet, and Manchuria differs from the W Palaearctic fennica cluster represented by six nest samples with 27 workers by significantly larger SL/CL (p < 0.0001) and by significantly smaller TERG (p < 0.001), nHTFL (p < 0.0001), and sqrtPDF (p < 0.0001). The manchu workers constantly show an additional set of conspicuous setae in the anterior portion of the sculptured surface of third tergite and the setae on outer hind tibial flexor margin are shorter, finer, and less numerous than in fennica (compare Figs 2, 17C and 18C). In the fennica workers, setae may be present at the caudal margin of third tergite but never in the anterior portion of the sculptured surface of third tergite. A numeric separation of the fennica and manchu workers is possible with by a linear discriminant score D(4) calculated as D(4) = 0.155 sqrtPDF + 0.134 TERG + 0.064 nHTFL-0.416 SL/CL.
Formica fennica differs from Formica bruni by the much longer and much more dilute frontal and tergite pubescence, by the longer head, and the larger nHTFL; sometimes the acute occipital corners may be diagnostic.
The differences between the workers of fennica and bruni are repeated in the queens. An additional difference is the significantly larger body size of the fennica queens.
Single workers of extremely pilosity-reduced Formica exsecta morphs may be confused with fennica. However, nest sample means of three workers provide a save separation with the characters nCOXA (exsecta 2.6-15.5, fennica 0.4-1.4), TERG (exsecta 1.0-2.33, fennica 3.0-4.0), OceSet (exsecta 0.33-1.0, fennica 0-0.33), and ClySet (exsecta 2.0-4.5, fennica 1.0-2.0) as confirmed for 88 nest samples of exsecta and six nest samples of fennica. The usually more acute occipital corners of fennica are no reliable discriminator from exsecta because of big intraspecific variability of head shape in Coptoformica.
Males: Eyes with numerous long hairs; EyeHL 30-45 μm. Clypeus without setae of third to fifth level; ClySet 1-2. Mesosoma with few semierect setae. Craniad profile of forecoxae with three to five standing setae. Pubescence in the ocellar triangle and on second gaster tergite dilute and long; sqrtPDF 4.1-4.6, sqrtPDG 5.0-7.3. Head elongated; CL/CW 0.853 ± 0.017. Separation from pilosity-reduced males of Formica exsecta difficult.
Seifert (2019) provides details for separating this species from the morphologically similar Formica exsecta.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
Basic data for accurate assessment of seismogenic behavior of active faults when re-activated causing large earthquakes, are geometry of active faults, location of asperities and rupture initiation, direction of rupture propagation, etc. In order to obtain these data, we compiled a database on fault slip distribution along the 98 major active fault zones in Japan selected for National Seismic Hazard Maps for Japan by The Earthquake Research Committee, the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion. Data were collected from articles and reports on these faults before 2001 as well as 'Digital Active Fault Map of Japan' (Nakata and Imaizumi, edited 2002), and compiled as an Excel file, and processed into GIS format. The database contains location, vertical and horizontal slips and estimated slip rates together with method of measurement on fault related features and their ages.This database is the first product of its kind, but is still far from substantial level, especially on slip r

ate data. However, we believe that this database is useful to roughly locate asperities on active faults for better estimation of strong ground motion.We also carried out careful interpretation of large-scale air-photographs for more detailed mapping of active faults, paying much attention to minute tectonic landform and obtained important information about extent of active faults, that is closely related to the magnitude of future earthquakes.Laser imagery technique is applied to obtain comprehensive features of typical reverse fault (Senya fault in NE Japan) and strike-slip fault (Adera fault in Central Japan), and tested several methods for obtaining fault slip from detailed DEM images.We analyzed slip rate along faults (zones) in order to find section(s) of large slip rate distribution, presuming that section(s) may be coincide with location of asperities on subsurface fault plane. Base on geometric criteria such as branching features of active fault traces and characteristic pattern of vertical-slip distribution along the fault traces as tools to predict location of surface rupture initiation and rupture length of future earthquakes (Nakata and Goto (1998)), we proposed dynamic fault model for future large earthquakes.

Centre Lead, Molecular Oncology

MD PhD
Senior Lecturer and Team Leader
Institute of Cancer
Overall research programme:
Professor Lemoine is the Director of both the Institute of Cancer and the Cancer Research UK Clinical Centre. He also leads the Centre for Molecular Oncology, where the research of four groups focuses on the molecular pathology of solid malignancies, gene transcription biology, cell survival signalling, and molecular therapeutics including gene therapy and vaccine approaches.
The Centre for Molecular Oncology aims to exploit the technologies of functional genomics to develop novel approaches for diagnosis, classification and treatment of human cancers. Advances in knowledge resulting from the sequencing of the human genome and the advent of high-throughput technologies now facilitate simultaneous analysis of the activity of many genes in cells and tissues, and the challenge is to translate such molecular profiles into clinical benefit for patients.
The main research interest of Dr Crnogorac-Jurcevic is to understand the molecular genetics of pancreatic cancer, particularly the earliest molecular changes in the development of this malignancy by utilising large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. She hopes to find a minimal set of biomarkers that will enable an early detection of pancreatic cancer with high levels of specificity and sensitivity at the stage when curative surgery is still possible. In addition to tissues, a particular focus in her work is the analysis of body fluids (plasma and urine), which will enable non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of patients with this malignancy.
The second aspect of her studies is based on uncovering molecular signatures of micrometastatic disease. Thus selected genes/proteins would represent a target for novel therapeutics that could be used in conjunction with surgical treatment.
Role in the Integrated Project:
We are coordinating WP2 (Molecular alterations of preneoplastic lesions, early and advanced tumours: genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiles) and are also involved in WP1 (Epidemiology and patient resources), WP3 (RNA-based diagnostics), WP4 (Proteome based diagnostics) and WP6 (Molecular Imaging tools).

Asper Biotech is a leading Estonian biotechnology company established in 1999. From this time Asper has grown to become the biggest biotech exporter in Estonia with a series of well-established robust and efficient DNA tests. Our platform is based on the arrayed primer extension (APEX) technology that combines the efficiency of a microarray-based assay with the Sanger sequencing. The main offerings include custom genotyping services, genotyping software, genotyping hardware, and genotyping consumables. Asper`s business model is conducting research projects for the world`s science, research and development organisations. During the seven years, Asper has developed its expertise in developing and validating highly customised SNP/mutation screening assays. After establishing the tests, DNA samples screening will be performed. Bioinformatics expertise allows us carefully design all the assays as well as analyse and validate the results. Together with our partners, we have developed and launched a number of DNA tests like Thalassemia, p53 gene testing, Cystic Fibrosis, Hereditary Hearing Loss, DNA Repair, and eye diseases related tests: ABCR, LCA, Usher, AR-RP, AD-RP, BBS. The list of the assays will be expanded during the next years. The strong scientific relevance and professional approach to its business become obvious also from our participation in several European Commission projects: from 30 proposals of FP6 in which Asper Biotech has been involved, six have been financed during the calls 1-3.

Research Focus
The Department of General Surgery at the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany is one of the leading centers for pancreatic surgery and clinical as well as basic research in Europe. Tissue and serum samples are routinely obtained from pancreatic cancer patients following written informed consent. All studies have been approved by the local Ethics Committee and are carried out according to the current version of the Declaration of Helsinki (1996). The tissue and serum bank at the Department of Surgery comprises more than 500 well documented cases of pancreatic tumours. The molecular biology research laboratory as part of the Department of General Surgery has a renowned track record of pancreatic research. High throughput analysis such as DNA microarrays have been employed for the detection of diagnostic tools and/or molecular targets in pancreatic diseases. Having one of the largest collections of high quality tissue specimen, candidate genes are currently being investigated on a broad scale (see relevant publications). Parts of the studies are conducted in close collaborations with partners at the GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health (www.gsf.de) and at the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg (DKFZ, www.dkfz.de). In addition, a clinical trial centre (Chir-Net) has been established at the Department of General Surgery with full-time working physicians, study nurses and secretaries. This infrastructure allows for the rapid clinical testing of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in pancreatic cancer.

When it comes to staying healthy during the holidays, it's really not rocket science, its about balance and simplicity. It's really easy to get caught up as more and more people come out of the woodwork and your grocery lists get longer and longer.
Meals go from your everyday, easy chicken, salad and a side, to three different meats, seven sides and five desserts. Everything gets out of control.
When you think about vegetables in March, for example, you think of cucumbers and celery dipped in hummus. When you think of vegetables in December, you think of green beans drowning in butter, cream, and fried onions. This is probably why, when January rolls around, we're feeling sad and deprived because we made our veggies go back to being just veggies.
Don't get me wrong, I love green bean casserole and dream about it the second a cool breeze starts up in the Fall. But, I think that if we are wanting to survive the holidays without feeling like we've overdone it, again, we need to remember the basics.
Sure, make all of the fun sides we know we have to have at holiday dinner, but remember the restraints you use year-round while making them. If you don't normally use that much butter, then don't put it in there. If there's suddenly a lot of heavy cream or sour cream in your recipes, use non-fat Greek yogurt instead. If you're craving roasted sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or green beans, a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper enhance the natural flavors and keep your veggies healthy, instead of using lots of butter, oils, cheese or marshmallows. And if Aunt Sally brought the classic over-cheesy potato and sour cream casserole, then remember you can taste it without having a plate full of it.
I think its also important to remember that the flavors you think of and dream about are in the spices you use. Warm cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, sage, and rosemary make your whole kitchen smell like the holidays. Use lots of spices in your cooking because that's the calorie-free flavor you are looking for.
I think one of the most important things to remember during the holidays that will help you get your day off to a positive start is to eat breakfast. Eating breakfast ensures that you're not going to be ravenous and shoveling mounds of holiday cookies into your mouth during the afternoon rush. Whether it's a holiday or just a random Tuesday, eating breakfast can help you make more positive choices in food (until you face the pie table at Aunt Susie's house).
When it comes to breakfast, like most things in life, I like to strive for balance. I don't like to over-think it, but I try to make sure there are multiple food groups in my bowl or on my plate. An egg scramble with veggies and a side of fruit is always good, or a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and nuts. When I'm making breakfast for a crowd, large pans of baked oatmeal are easy and impressive, as well as yogurt parfaits with various fruit, granola, and nut choices for everybody to build their own.
Because it's the holidays, you might want to make a pancake breakfast for your crew. Although the thought of presenting them with a platter, piled high with pancakes and lots of fresh fruit sounds beautiful and impressive, it also sounds like you'll really just be standing at your skillet for an hour, flipping away. You'll flip and burn a few, be dealing with a few plates of cold ones, people asking for seconds before you've gotten to sit down… and then you're left with a bunch of dishes and you're still hungry. Bad plan.
So, I have a solution! My Winter Spiced Dutch Baby Pancake with Pecan Maple Syrup. Yup, problem solved.
A Dutch Baby Pancake is really an amazing thing. It's one giant pancake, with less of the dense, bready texture that regular pancakes have, and more of a soft, almost soufflé-like texture. It bakes up in a skillet and comes out of the oven golden and puffy, and then it falls in on itself. And because you're baking one to serve, you can sit down and enjoy it with the rest of your family. While it's baking, you can cut up a bowl of fruit and make sure the coffee is ready. Breakfast spread, done.
The batter is very simple. You combine eggs and milk in your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer bowl and let it mix until frothy. This takes about 3 minutes. You can use any milk you have; I used unsweetened almond milk.
While it's mixing you can gather your flour and spices (I love that I can walk away and it's still mixing!). For warm winter spices, I reach for cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom and vanilla.
After it's frothy, slowly add your flour and spices and then let that mix up. Done. Seriously, batter done.
Making Pecan Maple Syrup is simple yet adds an impressive touch to the spread. Just simply toast up some pecans, place them in a container, and fill with pure maple syrup. That's it. You can put the syrup together the night before and let the flavors meld overnight, then warm it up before breakfast.
Plate up your Winter Spiced Dutch Baby Pancake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of the Pecan Maple Syrup, and some dried cranberries. Round off your breakfast with a bowl of fruit with yogurt and a big cup of coffee.
Cheers to balance!
Winter Spiced Dutch Baby Pancake with Pecan Maple Syrup
Makes one 10″ pancake
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/2 cup unbleached flour
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Place your oven-safe 10" skillet in the oven, and preheat your oven to 475 degrees F.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, start beating the eggs and milk on medium speed until frothy (approximately 3 minutes). Turn the speed to low and slowly add the flour, salt, vanilla and spices. Turn the speed back up to medium and let mix for another minute.
When the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and reduce the oven heat to 425 degrees F. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until the skillet is coated. Then, pour the batter into the skillet and quickly return it to the oven.
Bake the pancake for 15 minutes or until golden and puffy. Set the finished pancake out to serve. Serve with Pecan Maple Syrup, powdered sugar, and dried cranberries.
For the Pecan Maple Syrup
Toast 1/4 cup of pecan halves (350 degrees F for 4-5 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn), place them in a jar and top with 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup.

3 Netflix Shows With Disappointing Second Seasons
There's no denying that all our lives have changed since Netflix came to India. From rushing home from work, cancelling plans to go out and even staying in on weekends, binge-watching, we're all obsessed. Netflix not only gives us access to a bajillion (less than Netflix USA, unfortunately) shows and movies, but also, periodically, launches original series which often become fast favourites. There are a few Netflix originals, though, which had promising starts, but lost steam in subsequent seasons onwards.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: The first season was refreshing, eccentric and downright hilarious. It followed the naive and unshakeably positive Kimmy's discovery of New York City and her relationships with kooky characters like Titus, Lillian, Jacqueline and Dong. The second season however, seemed to have lost its mojo, which, aside for Titus' adorable new relationship and the entry of producer Tina Fey as Kimmy's therapist, was quite repetitive.
Grace and Frankie: Grace and Frankie's first season was a rollercoaster ride of emotion, as the eponymous characters dealt with the ruin of their families and the fact that their business-partner husbands were now romantic partners. The brilliant cast (Jane Fonda, Martin Sheen, Lily Tomlin and Sam Waterston) only enhanced the already heart-warming story. While the second season had its moments - Robert and Sol's marriage, Frankie's new relationship, health and infidelity scares - it didn't seem to have as much of an impact as the first.
Fuller House: Although originally an ABC series, the much beloved Full House got a Netflix original reboot this year called Fuller House. With the original being one of the most iconic TV series of all time, there was an insane amount of hype and expectation around the second innings. While the family reunion in the first episode gave us all the feels (we missed you, Mary Kate and Ashley) and DJ's son Max won over all our hearts, the series came off as forced and trying too hard to recreate the magic of the original.

Preactor 11 APS-ERP Demo
This example shows a typical Preactor 400 APS configuration used when Preactor is linked to an ERP system. Data including confirmed shop orders with routing along with the BoM structures are received from ERP. In addition in this example raw material stocks, purchase orders and sales orders are also received from ERP. Preactor uses its Pegging feature to connect shop, purchase and sales orders together and these material constraints are used when generating the production schedule. The new Materials Explorer is used to view the flow of materials. The scenario of a purchase order arriving late and the implication for orders connected to it is shown and also the ability to re-peg materials to more high priority shop orders.
Show Demo
Preactor 11 Job Shop Demo Part 1
This example shows some of the features and functions available within all Preactor finite scheduling applications such as Preactor 100, 200 and 300. It models a make to order Jobshop environment where the main constraints are machines, staff, tools and power. It holds its own Products (routing) information for each product though this could be downloaded from another application such as ERP.
Show Demo
Preactor 11 Job Shop Demo Part 2
Show Demo
Preactor 11 Preferred Sequence Demo
While many scheduling applications focus on capacity, another important aspect of a true scheduling tool is sequencing. This example focuses on sequencing batches of product on packing lines. The attributes of each batch, in this case colour, impacts the changeover time. A light to dark changeover is small and dark to light large. The example shows how the in-built Preactor 400 APS preferred sequencing rules can automatically increase the efficiency of the plant by minimizing the changeover time.
Show Demo
Preactor 11 Injection Moulding Demo
This example shows how Preactor 300 FCS is used in an injection moulding machine application where the changeover time is dependent on material colour, resin type and tool. The number of staff for changeover tasks is a constraint as well as tools. Products can only be moulded on certain types of machine and moulds can have a variable number of cavities that will change the total run time. The application also uses transfer batching between moulding and packing operations. (Note:This demo was completed using a Preactor 10 conifguration within Preactor 11.)
Show Demo
v10.0 Apparel Demo Part 1
This example shows Preactor being used to plan in a company where sewing lines are the key resources. It can be run in version P400 and upwards. The system has been configured for a company that has no ERP system or does not have the manufacturing modules of such as system implemented. Thus it deals not only with allocation of batches to the sewing lines based on style, customer and other attributes, but also with order entry, materials required, batch updates and range of other add-ons configured for Apparel manufacturing. While the focus of the planning process is the sewing lines, the application also deals with upstream processes such as cutting and downstream processes such as embroidery and packing. Using this tool, planners can use standard scheduling rules to optimise production throughput but also interact with the plan by dragging, dropping and splitting batches as required.
Show Demo
v10.0 Apparel Demo Part 2
Show Demo
v10.0 Toolroom Demo Part 1
This example shows Preactor being used in a Commercial Toolroom. It can be run in version P300 and upwards. The system has been configured for a company that has no ERP system or does not have the manufacturing modules of such as system implemented. Typically a tool room has no standard products, each assembly may be completely new so tools have been added to add sales orders, enter the process route with estimated process times, add priority calculations depending on the complexity of the assembly and update the system with part progress. Additional reports have been created to see the relationship between orders, parts and materials availability.

Sofia Richie, the daughter of Legendary singer and songwriter Lionel Richie and sister of the famed TV personality, Nicole Richie, models for her beau Scott Disick's business venture Ooh La Luxe this Wednesday, on 20th of July.
A lot has happened this month in the lives of Richie and Disick as they broke up and got back together. Sofia has already moved back to her beau's house and is spotted helping each other represent their business ventures.
This Wednesday, Disick shared a story on his Instagram where his girlfriend was wearing a striped crop top reportedly, Riviera Crop Top costing $28 and its bottom part, Riviera Pants costing $38.
The post gave his followers a discount code with a 20% discount on Ooh La Luxe's Riviera dress. The discount code "Lord" urged his fans to get 20% off on the striped dress.
Sofia took a break from her relationship with Scott after he was seen getting intimate with a mysterious green-eyed blonde at Kanye West's Ye listening party held at Wyoming, Western US.
Sofia stayed away for a couple of days, but later she got back together with Scott. The reason for her getting back together with him is still unclear but, there are speculations that she got back together because she thinks that she has changed him for good.
Later on Sunday, Father's Day, Sofia was spotted together with Disick and his kids, Mason, 8, Reign, 3, and Penelope,5, together at Nobu, Malibu. They were also seen hanging out at the same place earlier this month.
During the short break up, a source told E! News that Richie's family encouraged the split but, they were later shocked to find about their daughter getting back together with Scott.

The race to deliver residential solar energy storage has yet another entrant.
A Japanese maker of grid-friendly, residential solar-plus-storage systems and a municipally owned Canadian electric utility have embarked on a trial that will allow customers to use the power the systems generate at any time.
Osaka, Japan-based Tabuchi Electric Co. Ltd. has installed its systems at the homes of two Oshawa Power and Utilities Corp. customers, kicking off a test program that will see them installed at about 30 residences in the utility's Ontario service territory. The test marks the first North American deployment of Tabuchi's systems.
An increasing number of solar-generation projects are incorporating storage components, but home-based solar-plus-storage is still extremely cutting-edge. Nonetheless, Tabuchi has competitors, including San Mateo, Calif.-based SolarCity Corp., whose home solar-plus-storage systems include Palo Alto, Calif.-based Tesla Motors Inc.'s Powerwall home batteries. (Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, is the chairman of SolarCity, which he co-founded with his cousins.) And while the market for home solar-plus-storage systems isn't expected to grow as rapidly as the market for their commercial counterparts, it's still expected to expand considerably in the next few years.
Like similar systems, Tabuchi's contain batteries, inverters and other components. They allow customers to use electricity from their rooftop solar units to charge the batteries and to control how the batteries discharge power.
While the idea is to let customers store solar energy onsite and use it at any time, optimal use of Tabuchi's systems enable customers to take part in time-of-use or demand-response programs. Customers can also use the systems to power their homes when their electric service is out, but they'll have to watch their electrical usage during longer outages.
"If the grid goes down for a week, you can definitely function, but if you're running blow dryers and other things that use a lot of electricity, then you're going to have a hard time doing that," said Daniel Hill, a director of sales and marketing with Tabuchi.
The systems also can be monitored and managed remotely through their owners' mobile devices. And they can be aggregated and managed by utilities to act as a large virtual battery.
Beyond the test in Canada, Hill said Tabuchi is working on a couple of installations in California, and is getting calls from all over the country.
Tabuchi is a founding member of the Distributed Energy Resources Council of Hawaii, the first association formed in the U.S. to represent behind-the-meter technology and distributed resources. As such, Hawaii would seem to be a natural market for its systems. It might also help that the state's Public Utilities Commission stopped allowing residents to sign up for net energy metering in October, replacing it with several programs, including one that allows customers to power their homes with their rooftop solar systems and export small amounts of power to the grid.
Like Tabuchi, Oshawa Power is thinking beyond Ontario. Although it's owned by a municipality, the company is structured like an investor-owned utility with a holding company and three subsidiaries, including Oshawa PUC Networks Inc., which distributes electricity to nearly 60,000 customers in Oshawa.
Atul Mahajan, Oshawa Power's CEO, said the company plans to test Tabuchi's systems over a year and half, not just to confirm their technical viability, but also to investigate possible business models for them and see where deploying them would make most sense.
Solar-plus-storage systems presently aren't economically viable in Ontario, Mahajan said, although a combination of incentives and features they could add to the grid could make them so.
"I'm encouraging technology providers to get in contact with us because what I want to do is not just solar and storage," Mahajan said. "I also want to look at if I can remotely manage this storage that I will deploy at customer premises and start selling services back to the grid."
Remotely managed and aggregated, solar-plus-storage systems could act like larger storage systems and provide power when needed not only to meet demand, but for voltage or frequency regulation.
In small groups, Mahajan said, they could be used to provide electricity to remote locations that get lots of sun, such as parts of Africa.
"This would be a great game-changing technology with some modifications," he said.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check out Mr. B's and Deco Day.
Big thanks to Red Bull and the catering crew, namely Pam and Tom.
Hope everyone had a great time. The cops only stopped by 3 times, no one got hurt, and everyone had a full belly with either beer or food.
One kid bought a ton of wax and was eating it. He kept coming up buying wax. Then his gums started bleeding so we had to cut him off. Parents need to feed their kids. (note, there was free food all day, but wax might tasted better)
Everyone in our plaza officially hates us and wants us gone. They are old smelly people who can suck it. I would rather suck a turd than be nice to fuckers that hate on what we do.
Thanks again everyone…holla holla and fuck off to the haters in our plaza and the city of longwood for not helping with the city skatepark.

Even sparser is a group of entrants that concurrently finish their first day of trading at 30%+ premiums to their listing prices. But on Friday, 27 April, unicorns DocuSign and Smartsheet joined three other equity listings in another display of the strength of public markets this year. Their debuts, along with Carbon Black's the week after, brought 2018's tally for unicorn exits into public markets to 8[1], 4 more than the same point last year.
However, quantity of listings compared to last year was not what was grabbing the market's attention. DocuSign and Smartsheet's share prices closed up 37% and 30% respectively on their first day of trading, joining all but one unicorn listing this year in positive public market returns. Zscaler kicked off the year for the cohort in impressive style, as the cloud-based security network saw its share price more than double in its first day to close up 106%. Dropbox, the former poster child for overvalued private rounds, followed in March with a defiant 35% share price uplift during one of the worst days for equity markets in that quarter. In doing so, it avoided a down round from its prior Series C post-money valuation of $10.5bn. Bilibili IPO'd the week after and is the lone unicorn so far in 2018 to evade a positive return in public trading. The China-based mobile gaming and video sharing platform priced its ADRs within the range at $11.50 before fizzling to $10.85 at close of trading.
It took only a week however, before the IPO market had its next company to champion, as music-streaming pioneer Spotify completed a novel direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange. In a debut that brought with it concern for the side-lined Wall Street collective, Spotify declined both the opportunity to raise additional equity capital and the normal market-making safeguards of a traditional IPO, listing with an NYSE reference price of $132 before finishing the day at $149 and change. The corresponding market capitalisation of $26.5bn was an impressive uplift on the $20.7bn price tag attached to the company following its Series H raise from Tencent Holdings, a round that prompted many commentators to voice concerns of overvaluation. Zuora, the billing management platform and early pioneer of the subscription economy, listed a week later on 12 April above its indicative range at $14 before climbing 43%. Hot on the heels of DocuSign and Smartsheet, and in its own cohort of 8 listings in the same day, cybersecurity firm Carbon Black brought up the rear with an equally buoyant 26% first day pop.
The positive reception from public markets for unicorns this year has only been second to the hospitable welcome the technology sector has enjoyed. IPO proceeds are at a 3 year high, and of the $16bn already raised from equity issuance at listing, 40% of that has come from technology listings; more than twice any other industry. SaaS unicorns like Zscaler and Zuora have a large part to play in that; recurring, predictable revenue models allow for conventional estimations of value in contrast to the guessing game that passes all too often for some unicorn verticals.
"One component from an investor standpoint is the predictability of the revenue because it's a subscription-based business. That was a piece that was underlying a lot of our conversations." – DocuSign Chief Executive Dan Springer
It's in contrast to a mixed year of IPO performance from the 2017 cohort of unicorns. Only six managed an exit into public markets in the first half of that year, already less than 2018's fast increasing tally. Of even greater comfort to the venture world is this cohort's improvement upon private market valuations at listing, which has yet to send a warning sign of Cloudera or Tintri's size from last year. Dropbox is the sole unicorn in 2018 to price at a down round on its debut; a deficit of 21% that its first day uplift of 35% helped correct quickly.
Impressive uplifts, private or public, still raise one key question: how much cash is being left on the table? It's a worthwhile discussion for the growing class of 2018, who despite raising $2bn and change in just six[2] listings have left, cumulatively speaking, another $860m wanting. Potentially a small price to pay for a successful market debut and inevitably happier investors in the long run. That said, Zscaler raised $192m of net proceeds and is estimated to have left $204m on the table.
Cash-laden table or not, the IPO market is by all appearances in good health with appetite for more. That's truer still for technology businesses with valuation-friendly revenue models, for whom the success of their now-public peers will only serve as a tempting invite to an IPO window most certainly open for business.

"The World Today" programme broadcast earlier this morning on the BBC World Service carried a report by David Stern on a media freedom battle currently gripping Ukraine.
The piece conicides with an article published in today's issue of Komersant which worryingly reports on the Ukrainian Security Service homing in on a blogger and journalist, Oleh Shynkarenko. The move has been condemned by the Chair of the Ukrainian Parliamentary Committee for the Freedom of Speech, Andriy Shevchenko, who labelled such action as illegal and indicated that it was a possible attempt by Ukraine's Security Service to suppress internet freedom in Ukraine.
The situation is being monitored closely by everyone, not least the UK's FCO, which, amongst other things, is looking to Ukraine to build on the progress made over recent years on democracy, human rights and media freedoms.
Whilst reaffirming our full support of the FCO's position, we urge everyone to consider writing to the Ukrainian Embassy in London to seek assurances that the Ukrainian President and Government will take immediate steps to stamp out all and any perceived threats to democracy, human rights and media freedoms (including internet) in Ukraine.

A friend of mine sent me links (via Slashdot which I occasionally read for the articles myself) that he thought were an interesting contrast.
- The Internet Generation Prefers the Real World - Which explains that today's students are not the Digital natives that many seem to think they are.
- Bill Gates: Forget university, the web is the future for education - "Five years from now on the web for free you'll be able to find the best lectures in the world. It will be better than any single university"
We are seeing a lot of growth of online education these days. Universities are putting curriculum on the Internet by the terabyte. Virtual schools are becoming options for credit recovery and taking courses that are not offered in local schools. In industry the move to provide education and training in the form of webcasts and videos appears to many to be the answer to supporting customer and employee training easily and inexpensively. It all seems so perfect. But is it?
Talking to friends who are teaching online courses results in tails of high drop out or non-completion rates. Students are not doing the work online just because it's not in school. Why not? I have some ideas. Students don't go online to work – they going on line to connect with their peers. They go for fun. Putting school online doesn't instantly make it fun. And worse still it doesn't have the same connected feeling that a bricks and mortar schools have for students. Deep down though students are not as good with the Internet as we'd like them to be and are often far less capable than the adults in their life think they are.
Bill Gates blames poor textbooks for much of our US education issues. He thinks that great presentations by great teachers can and will fix that. I think he's overly optimistic. In theory great video and better text and the chance to work around their own schedules feels like the answer but perhaps we are asking the wrong questions. I think that if good books were the answer we'd be in better shape. While one can easily criticize textbooks libraries are full of great books. Kids have access to these books in town/city, school and university libraries just about everywhere they go. And didn't Abraham Lincoln well over 100 years ago self-educate himself with books? Of course he did. But believe it or not, not everyone is Abraham Lincoln. Bill Gates is well known for self-educating himself on a wide variety of subjects and for being very well read. He's pretty exceptional though. Most students don't go out of their way to read books about things they don't know or want to learn. No matter how good the books are or how exciting the videos are what is the incentive for a student to dig into them? They don't have the motivations and intrinsic self-motivation that adults like Bill Gates has. In fact I suspect few adults do either. Great content, online or in paper books, is pretty useless if no one uses it.
One of the things that schools are not horrible at is forcing students to take subjects they don't know they need or think they are interested in. On the Internet not only does no one know you are a dog, no one knows you are sleeping through class. Well they might wonder when you fail the exams but how do you keep track of students on a shorter term basis? And how do you convince students what to learn? You can lead a student to great sources of information but it is hard to make him learn.
In the long run Internet resources can be very helpful. They make great supplements. They make good entertainment in a good way with people who really love the material sharing that excitement. But as stand alone education making bricks on mortar schools obsolete? Not until the nature of children changes in a big way.
