text: Leveraged Buyout (LBO) Explained Posted on Friday, July 27th, 2018 by MarketBeat Staff Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedInShare on RedditShare on StocktwitsPrint this articleShare by Email "Greed is good". That famous, cynical line from the movie Wall Street reinforced what many people felt about a kind of investment that's existed for a long time, but first boomed in the 1980s. It's called the leveraged buyout and it made "junk bonds" and "Michael Milken" household names. But is a leveraged buyout simply a speculative investment for short-term profit, or can there be benefits to the acquired company? In the decade between 1979-1989, an estimated 2,000 leveraged buyouts occurred. However, in 1979, there were only 16 LBOs that had a value of over $1 billion. By 1986, there were 76 LBOs valued at over $20 billion. After a brief pause, the leveraged buyout became popular again in the early 2000s and continues to hold some appeal in the financial community today. In this article, we'll help you understand what a leveraged buyout is, why leveraged buyouts occur, why financing a leveraged buyout is risky, what are the different kinds of leveraged buyouts, and if a leveraged buyout can be good. What is a leveraged buyout? In its simplest form, a leveraged buyout is an acquisition of a company that is financed almost entirely by debt. The debt that is secured comes primarily from the targeted company's assets. The LBO is structured so that the assets and cash flow of the company being acquired become the primary means to pay for the financing. The concept of a buyer being able to "take over" another entity without putting a lot of their capital at risk is why this is referred to as a "leveraged" buyout. When the transaction is done, the assets of the acquired company are heavily leveraged. This makes them an attractive target for the buyer who may want to sell certain assets to reduce the debt load and get the company back to profitability. However, when you're talking about corporations being acquired, this idea of breaking off individual pieces and reselling them includes real people with real jobs. And although such a selloff may have to occur for legitimate reasons, this practice got picked up on by the media as a sign of corporate greed. Why would investors do a leveraged buyout? A typical leveraged buyout happens because a private equity firm sees an opportunity to take control of a business that has good fundamentals, but needs to operate better. In this case, they may be able to help the company avoid, or create a viable path out of bankruptcy, and help the company return to profitability. The benefit for them is the opportunity to sell the company, for a profit, at a later date. So if an investor has the ability to be a "turn-around specialist", an LBO can be similar to a mortgage. If the value of the business increases, the investor stands to make a large profit. However, if things go poorly, and when so much debt is involved, it doesn't take a lot for that to happen, these investors can lose money very quickly, even though they are holding the majority of the debt. Why financing a leveraged buyout can be very risky A leveraged buyout is not, in theory, always a bad thing. Leveraged buyouts have been around for a long time. In fact, one of the first LBOs to make headlines involved the Ford Motor Company in 1919. Whatever the reason for the leveraged buyout (see "What are the types of leveraged buyouts") the chances of an LBO being successful are much higher if the company that's being acquired is healthy (i.e. growing and turning a profit). This makes it easy for the buyer to find financing without paying a risk premium. When looked at like this, an LBO is similar to a homebuyer taking on a mortgage. The homebuyer selects an asset (a house) that they believe will grow in value. They also view their own personal situation as one where their income will be steady and/or growing so they can pay off the debt that they assume to buy the asset. Or that they will be able to sell the house at a future date for more than what they owe on the mortgage. The purpose of the mortgage is to allow them to use financing from another source to buy the property without using their own cash. The homeowner then pays the mortgage company for the amount they borrowed, plus interest. The reality is many mortgages and LBOs operate like this and are very successful. But these are not the stories you hear about. The harsh truth is just as the housing crisis occurred because many homeowners had to default on their mortgages, many leveraged buyouts occur because a business is in trouble. A brief history lesson will explain why LBOs became so popular in the 80s, and are still part of the financial news cycle today. In the early 80s, many corporations started getting merger happy. This created empires that, in several cases, were unsustainable. In some cases, companies became too diversified and got away from their core competencies. This created an environment where private equity firms, often given the moniker "corporate raiders" could target the company, swoop in and "rescue" them in the form of an LBO. This is where things get murky. Going back to our example of mortgages, there were many factors that played into the housing crisis that goes beyond the scope of this article. However simply put, as more, and larger, homes were being built, the market needed a supply of buyers not only for these homes but for the homes being sold. This created a supply and demand cycle that opened the door for "non-traditional" lenders to fill the role that many banks would not. As a result, these institutions (frequently using "predatory" practices) financed home buyers who would not otherwise meet the lending criteria of traditional mortgage lenders. Unfortunately, the highly leveraged homeowners quickly found themselves in a situation where the high level of interest added to the principal of the loan created an unsustainable financial situation. In the corporate world, as these empires began to crumble, rather than allowing a business to fail, private equity firms, saw the potential for profit and provided financing. But remember, an LBO requires financing from the company being purchased to pay off the existing owner. And financing an LBO is risky even in the best of situations. This is because investors understand that there is an inherent risk when a business changes hands. That risk gets magnified when you're a large multi-million dollar corporation with employees and shareholders. Add to this, that much of the funding for LBOs is spread out among banks, bonds, subordinated debt, or seller financing. So for these buyers to get the funding they had to pay a much higher yield on the debt to account for the risk. This created the concept of the "junk bond" which was popularized by Michael Milken whose investment bank, Drexel-Burnham. These bonds are not considered investment-grade which means that the issuer feels there is a high likelihood of default. This was just one example of the "shadow banks" and other financial institutions that can issue these bonds because they do not have to follow conventional regulations. As in the case of the housing crisis, several of these LBOs led to the acquired companies going bankrupt because they were so leveraged. The large interest payments made it impossible for their cash flow to meet their obligations. What are the types of leveraged buyouts? Leveraged buyouts usually take place for one of three reasons: A public company wants to go private A company wants to get out of a segment of their business by selling it To transfer private property (this is common when small businesses change hands) Public to Private This is a situation where a single investor or investment group acquires the assets of a public company with the intention of running it as a privately owned business. In some cases, the investors come from the company's existing management team who are looking to move forward as a privately held company (the opposite of "taking a company public"). This is considered a friendly takeover. What tends to grab headlines is the situation known as the hostile takeover. This is where an investor or investment group seeks to buy a business with the intention of reorganizing and or restructuring the company and then selling it to another entity for a profit. In some cases, they may even sell it to a publicly-held company in a stock offering. As you can see, the motivation behind the two scenarios is very different. Although both seek to make a profit, the means of achieving that are different. Spin-Offs In this scenario, a company wants to sell a particular element, or elements, of their business to generate cash. This may be the case after a company has been acquired as part of another LBO and now is looking to pay their investors back. In this situation, the buyer may be the management team of the business unit being sold. Private Deals Succession planning for a small business can be difficult. In some cases, a family-owned business can no longer stay in the family. However, if a company is profitable, the business owner, although ready to retire, may not simply want to close the business but they either can't find a corporation to buy them or they wish to keep ownership private. In this case, an LBO can be organized sometimes by the existing employees or other individuals who have some stake in the company or personal relationship with the owners. Since these parties are unlikely to have the liquidity to buy the business outright, and LBO can provide the financing so that the seller can sell the business for the fair market value. Can a leveraged buyout be good? The simple answer is yes. A leveraged buyout can force a bloated company to become more efficient. It's also a proven fact that smaller, independently owned companies tend to thrive when they have more autonomy. But there is a fine line between creating operational efficiencies and simply shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. In many cases, a leveraged buyout is seen to be successful because a strong economy is causing volatile stock prices and an easier climate to assume debt. If market conditions change, the emperor could be revealed to have no clothes. The bottom line on leveraged buyouts As we mentioned earlier, leveraged buyouts have been around for a long time and will continue to be a part of the investment scene. They are what they are. Highly speculative investments based on the assumption of a lot of debt. Whether they are good or bad really depends on your point of view. For investors who see a corporation as existing only to make a profit, and the purpose of investing to receive a reward for your risk, leveraged buyouts make complete sense. A corporation that is in trouble can be brought back to profitability, or at the very least, the parts of the business that are profitable can be preserved and move forward. Likewise, the inefficient parts would be allowed to fail. However, if you take the approach that corporations have societal, even moral, obligations, then LBOs can be seen as not much more than legalized gambling. Does the benefit gained by an investor group's ability to turn around a rapid profit offset the lives that are disrupted in the process?

South Ayrshire Provost, Helen Moonie, said: "I'm sure the people of South Ayrshire will be out in force to cheer on the troops. I know how much a warm welcome means to the soldiers who can be away for months at a time.
"This year marks 100 years since the end of the First World War, so it is particularly poignant that we celebrate with those who have returned and remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice."
Lieutenant Colonel D C Close, Commanding Officer 2 SCOTS said: "2 SCOTS are looking forward to parading in Ayrshire, which is home for the majority of our soldiers. We always appreciate the support from the community, particularly when deployed on operations overseas."

Organization: National Institutes of Health
The mission of the Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA) is to identify, develop, and disseminate sophisticated tools and computational approaches supporting biomedical research and collaboration activities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Business Challenge
OPA performs many analytical functions supporting internal investigative projects as well as projects at NIH constituent organizations. There are six types of projects: Consultation, Analysis, Training, Trans-NIH Coordination, Tool Development and Research Projects. Each of these efforts are labor intensive and time consuming as they cover the gathering, use, and storage of data, records, and messages spanning long periods of time. The process itself includes engagement, requirements analysis, portfolio analysis, and reporting of results.
The system used for project management and data collection was based on email. Users suffered from lack of visibility into project status and collaboration. And management did not have adequate reporting to evaluate return on investments and workloads. OPA desired a system to record, track and archive all requests, reviews, comments, and approvals associated with each project. The system also needed to create reports based on specific key performance metrics.
BizFlow BPM Solution
BizFlow creates an advanced project tracking and correspondence management application. It integrates with several 3rd party systems: the NIH Enterprise Directory (NED) for searching and importing NIH user information, the Learning Management System for importing registrant information, and SharePoint for document management.
The forms use the NIH OPA branding and styles following approved CSS files. There is a single Project Tracking form used for all processes with certain sections only being displayed for corresponding processes such as "Course Information" for Training and "Journal Information" for Research Projects.
The Project Assignment dashboard allows the NIH OPA Director and NIH OD management to view which projects are currently in progress and who is working on them in order to evaluate current workload. The Project Schedule dashboard allows users to see the ongoing projects in Gantt format to determine workload over a period of time.

First Aid: Cuts & Scrapes
Posted by Alex Francis on
Cuts, gashes, and scrapes are some of the most common ailments in the great outdoors. Fortunately, most are easily treated, using the most basic first aid kits. Here's what Rescue Trekker recommends:
- First, if able, either wash your hands or put on disposable gloves--this will help prevent infecting the newly opened wound.
- Second, apply slight pressure using a clean gauze or other clean cloth to stop the bleeding.
- Once bleeding has stopped, try to wash the wound with clean water and soap. (Again, to help prevent infection.) Try to remove any debris possible from the wound.
- You can also apply an antibiotic like Neosporin if you have that. Again, this prevents infection. (Notice the theme here?) Cover the wound with a clean dressing.
If the wound is especially deep or wide, you will want to clean the wound, and then use a wound closure or butterfly strip on the site. Stitches might be needed, and you need to see your health care professional ASAP. (You can wait too long to get stitches.) If you haven't had a tetanus shot or booster within the past five years, you may want to consider getting one now.
All of the described items can be found in one of the two first aid kits found below:First aid kit for hiking, camping, etc.
First aid kit for home, office, or car.
Remember, preparing is surviving--Even if it is just a small scrape.

A Hangzhou local, Ms Zhu Gesha, is taking over my Film classes from me next year. She is a very bright and capable young lady, and she is far more technically knowledgeable about the medium than I am, having completed a Master's degree in documentary filmmaking at the University of Belfast a few years ago.
This is one of the most impressive of her student projects, a prize-winning short feature called Reflection. Gesha sat in on a few of my classes towards the end of the year, and I persuaded her to show this film to my current students - who were duly impressed by her creative sensitivity, displayed here not only by the beautifully composed pictures but by the poetic simplicity of the narration.
I think I'm leaving my legacy in good hands.

The New Orleans Pelicans, thanks to superstar center and MVP candidate Anthony Davis, are fourth in the Western Conference standings and in a good position to return to the NBA playoffs.
What's most surprising about the Pelicans' recent nine-game win streak is it has happened without All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins, who tore his left Achilles in January and needed season-ending surgery.
Despite the team's success without Cousins, the Pelicans' top offseason priority should be re-signing him, and Davis is "pretty confident" New Orleans will be successful, per the New York Times' Marc Stein.
Cousins is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and even if he leaves, the Pelicans wouldn't have enough salary cap space to adequately replace him. The Pelicans gave up 2016 first-round draft pick Buddy Hield and a 2017 first rounder that turned into the No. 10 overall pick as part of a package to acquire Cousins via trade from the Sacramento Kings last season.
The Pelicans cannot afford to lose Cousins for nothing. They need to re-sign him, and Davis' latest comments on the situation are encouraging for New Orleans basketball fans.

Tiger Lacrosse Starts Season with a W
Saint Xavier Lacrosse finally had its first game of the season on Wednesday night. Well, that is, the first game they've been able to play. With the coming of an arctic blast of weather last week, the first two scheduled games were cancelled, and the team was left with yet again a long stream of practice cancellations. With the impact of the weather, it was interesting to see the team's fluidity in their first game again Lexington Catholic, and the effects were definitely felt.
In the first half, the offense was a mix of good and bad plays along with multiple missed opportunities. It took two rising middies, junior Corbin Buchart and sophmore Blake Roshkowski, to boost the Tigers to a 6-1 lead after the first half of play.
"We definitely had a slow first half" said senior Attackman Collin Roppel, who scored all three of his goals in the second half. "But things definitely starting picking up in the second."
The Tigers slowly took firm control of the game in the second half. Junior defenseman Caleb Grimes attributed the second half success to the efforts of the defensive unit, noting multiple big saves by senior goalie Max Cartor. The improvement from first half to second half was drastic, and the Tigers eventually finished the Knights 13-1.
The first game definitely was rough in some parts. Put well by Cartor: "This was the best worst game I've ever seen." The game was not smooth, but the team as a whole showed their ability to come together in unison, and the projections looked outstanding. The weapons at every position are deeper than ever before, and morale is high for the team coming off of their first win of the season."

I've noticed one thing over the years that no matter who has come to me for advice, I always seem to help others overcome obstacles in their life. Whether it is confidence, self acceptance, heart breaks, breaking mental barriers, whatever it is. I always seem to help them break through these things and allow them to see their worth, their skills, how much and how far they've buried themselves in doubt and fear. How much of their lives are wasted by just sitting in the shadows of doubt and fear. In the shadows of procrastinating over things which do not exist but only temporarily exist because they've allowed all of these doubts and fears to exist. It wasn't me that did anything for you. It was yourself who overcame your fears and doubts. All I did was encourage you to see the person you really are and the person you can be. That is all you have to do on a day to day basis is encourage yourself and see your worth. If you can do that. If you see that within yourself, you would laugh at all the problems you thought you had. Problems only exist in a realm which you created along with your doubts, your fears and procrastination. They never existed before so don't allow them to exist now. Fear Allah SWT and never the creation. Remove your doubts by having tawakul, trust, reliance in Allah SWT and your procrastination needs to be replaced with confidence and belief you are able to do whatever is you put your mind to. Whatever is you want to do or be , be dedicated and the return is with Allah SWT. Do, believe and you will receive InshaAllah. You are able to overcome and live a better life but the question is, do you want to? Start today….
If you need advice, encouragement or need someone to talk to, feel free to ask.

Who doesn't love a wedding? The decorations, the food, the booze, the family, the friends, the smart outfits – and all for only $36,000…wait, what? I mean, they're fun, but $36,000?!
That's the whopping cost of the average Aussie wedding these days with many costing far more. That's money that you might rather be spending on a new car, a loooong holiday, or your kids' education. But you still want to have the wedding of your dreams, right?
Well how about a backyard BBQ wedding? At a fraction of the cost, you'll get everything you get with a traditional venue wedding, PLUS a personal celebration that has a level of intimacy and romance that's difficult to replicate at a function centre.
Photo credit: PrincessAshley
Follow these tips to get you started on organising the backyard wedding of your dreams:
1. Keep it simple
Take another look at the above list of the things people love about weddings. It's pretty short and simple isn't it? The point is that people, including your wedding guests, are fairly easy to please; feed them well, make sure they have plenty to drink and they ought to be happy. So keep your organisation just as simple. Start with the things that matter and then work your way down to the fondue fountain and customised place settings.
2. Use your own backyard if possible
Getting married in the place in which you and your partner will be kicking off your lives together is a great way to truly personalise your wedding. Plus, you'll forever get that warm, fuzzy, wedding feeling every time you go into your backyard!

3. Utilise the natural scenery
Most backyards come equipped with ready-to-use decorations in the form of trees, plants and flowers, so be sure to use them. You can do simple things to emphasise these features by hanging streamers from branches or placing tea lights among the bushes. You can also create your centrepieces using items "borrowed" from your backyard – you'll be amazed how good a jar of sticks can look in the right context.
4. The food – simple and classic
Photo credit: PrincessAshley
The all-important catering conundrum. Once again, keep it simple…and since this is a BBQ blog, keep it barbecued. Whether the cooking is done in-house or through a catering company; whether you go with a self-serve buffet or table service, it doesn't matter. Just keep the menu simple and classic, so that there's something there for everyone. You can't go wrong with meat, fish and veggie options.
What do you think? Have you been to or hosted a backyard wedding? Got any great ideas? Leave your comments below.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the upgrading and transformation of consumption structure, the focus on disease has shifted from simple treatment to prevention. As the core raw materials and products of biomedicine, plant extracts have been widely used in the production of plant medicine, food additives, functional food, health food, cosmetics and other fields. With the rapid development of biomedicine in the 21st century, under the influence of the new medical model, the active or functional plant extract products are more popular all over the world and have broad market space, which also promotes the development prospects of China's plant extract export. At the same time, the continuous promulgation of favorable industrial support policies in China will keep the industry developing at a high speed. It is estimated that the market size of plant extract industry in China will reach 24.9 billion yuan in 2018 and will exceed 34.1 billion yuan in 2022. In the future, China's plant extraction industry will become a new strategic pillar industry for national economic and social development.
In this context, the "NEX China" exhibition, which has been accompanied by the domestic extract industry for the past ten years, will come again from June 18-20, 2019 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Relying on the vigorous development of the international natural extract industry and the resource advantages in the field of animal and plant extraction in China, the scale of the exhibition will be expanded to E4 and E5 halls. At that time, domestic and foreign high-quality extract enterprises will bring innovative products to the public one by one. The organizers will also hold several forums and seminars on natural raw materials at the exhibition site to share global regulations, analyze hot export varieties and innovative application trends of natural plant extracts, and provide a variety of solutions for plant extractors in transition.

114 Letter Line
Letter Line 114 This is my call number for the past year. As one crying out in the wilderness, I went through the disrespect from leaders in another society that I visited and ministered to. I broke faith in the leadership with them, while with others I kept and will continue for the cause of Christ. I cried aloud and I shouted out and I asked: "where, how what?" It was unfathomable so, for now, I set them aside, ignored, and slighted. It was powerful, to say the least, the message of reconciliation and the expressed will of the Father who breathes the Spirit into the heart of every nation. The truth must always be told. The Lord gave me another leader named Joshua who is speaking wisdom to help heal the ministry. The offspring of Yah are still flocking to the servant of God. Praise the Lord. 144

Tony Blair and George Bush were today facing an uphill struggle to persuade the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution which would set Saddam Hussein a March 17 deadline to disarm or face war.
The deadline was contained in an amended draft resolution, tabled in New York last night by the US, UK and Spain, which stated that if Iraq failed to demonstrate full, unconditional, immediate and active co-operation by March 17 it would be deemed to have failed to take the "final opportunity" afforded it by the earlier resolution.
Britain's ambassador to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, later made it clear that if Iraq missed the deadline, it would face the "serious consequences" threatened in the original resolution, - meaning, he acknowledged, military action.
But Russia, one of the Security Council's five veto-wielding members, made clear it did not back the amended draft resolution, which could be voted upon as early as Tuesday.
Deputy foreign minister Yuri Fodotov said: "This amendment doesn't change the nature of the draft which is aimed at starting a war. Russia is highly negative. We believe this resolution will not be passed by the Security Council."
Even before the amended draft was tabled formally by Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, French foreign minister Dominique de Villepin signalled France was prepared to use its veto to block the plan, calling the deadline as a "pretext for war".
He warned: "France will not allow a resolution to pass that authorises the automatic use of force."
Although Mr Blair and President Bush have made it clear that they will go ahead with military action if the second resolution is vetoed by any permanent member, they remain keen to win the nine votes from the 15-strong council needed to get the resolution over its first hurdle and put pressure on the veto-wielding permanent five.
Over the next few days, there will be a particular focus on the so-called "swing six" countries - the as yet undecided non-veto Council members of Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Guinea, Mexico and Pakistan.
The new deadline followed the latest report to the UN by chief weapons inspector Dr Hans Blix, who told the Security Council that while there had been some "pro-active" co-operation by the Iraqis, it had fallen short of the "immediate" compliance demanded by 1441.
Progress should be judged on whether a new list of outstanding disarmament issues is resolved, Dr Blix added.
He told the Security Council: "While co-operation can and is to be immediate, disarmament and verification of it cannot be instant - it will not take years, nor weeks, but months."
Dr Blix said the destruction of Al Samoud 2 missiles was a "substantial measure of disarmament".
He told the UN: "We are not talking about the breaking of toothpicks. Lethal weapons are being destroyed."
To date, 34 Al Samoud 2 missiles have been destroyed under the inspectors' supervision.
NScepticism today surrounded a report that two of terror chief Osama bin Laden's sons have been wounded and captured in an Afghan gun battle involving US troops in a joint operation involving Pakistani and US forces.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said: "We have no information to substantiate that report."

In 2017, "the European Union's previously unquestioned competitiveness is at risk," said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a recent speech, and recapturing that competitive edge begins with the EU realizing that "if the Member States are not successful, the European Union itself cannot be successful as a whole".
The prime minister was addressing a general meeting of the management of Daimler AG in Hungary. Daimler is a major investor in the country, employing more than 4000 people and producing Mercedes-Benz B-Class and CLA models at their manufacturing facilities in Kecskemét.
More than a ceremonial address, the prime minister's speech put forward a recipe for the European Union to rebuild its global competitiveness, a recipe composed of the basic ingredients that have contributed to Hungary's economic turnaround.
Hungary's economy is currently growing at 4.1 percent, well above the EU average. But the country wasn't always in the upper tier. "When the financial crisis broke [in 2008], Hungarians were hit very hard," the prime minister reminded. "We collapsed financially before the Greeks did. No one remembers this today, but the first country to collapse financially was not Greece, but Hungary, which only managed to survive with bailouts from the troika."
Greece nearly went bankrupt and its economy continues to struggle. What made the Hungarian recovery possible? The answer, according to PM Orbán is that "the Greeks did what the troika told them to do, while we did the opposite of what the troika told us to do."
Criticized as "unorthodox" at the time, the Orbán Government rejected austerity and pursued a series of measures to bring the deficit and debt – including household debt – under control. Hungary sustained annual GDP growth between 1 and 3 percent between 2012 and 2016. "And now, in 2017, the plan is to raise growth to a range between three and five percent," the prime minister said, "to keep it there for a few years, and to take yet another step forward from there."
The prime minister presented the Hungarian proposal to attract investment based on four points. Attracting investment – after all – is closely tied to competitiveness.
The first part of Hungary's offer is political stability. "If you look at the political changes in the various countries in Europe," he said, "the proposition that Hungary is one of Europe's most politically stable countries doesn't seem too boastful."
Secondly, investors will find a "strict and sensible fiscal policy" that keeps the budget deficit as low as 1.7 percent last year and one that strives for "a delicate balance between controlling the budget deficit and government spending aimed at promoting development and economic growth."
Thirdly, companies are encouraged to take advantage of an education system that takes their needs into consideration. The government pushes for a dual training system that is tailored for meeting the demands of the job market.
Finally, Hungary offers its balanced fiscal system, policies the prime minister was defending against Brussels, "which tried to force on us the approach of 'hanging everything on the same peg'. Luckily," he said, "we did not heed their advice, otherwise we would look more like Greece today."
Hungary's success is Europe's success and it wouldn't have been possible if Hungary had not had the liberty to pursue its own economic path. If we understand the necessity of the success of Member States, according to the prime minister, we can identify four points vital for a more competitive EU, and the first one is precisely that policy independence.
"We should allow every Member State of the European Union to pursue its own economic policy," PM Orbán said, adding that Member States shouldn't allocate more economic regulatory powers to the EU level.
Secondly, the EU needs to correctly understand the nature of the new industrial revolution. For this revolution to work we need low taxes and cheap energy. "There will be no successful industrial revolution with high taxes and expensive energy". This implies that we need to build good relations with regions that have cheap reserves instead of distancing ourselves from them.
Thirdly, innovation should receive even more funding. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán suggested that Europe could lose its competitive advantage when it comes to research and development, so it must be reinforced.
Finally, "the fourth thing we need to do is enter into new types of cooperation schemes with the world's emerging regions," the prime minister said, calling on Europe to open up to external opportunities.
"The present is bright," Prime Minister Orbán said," but the future casts a shadow over it." If Europe is to maintain its global position, it must be more forward-thinking to shape the future.

Dear Sangha,
In 1997 H.E. Garchen Rinpoche arrived in the United States and quickly established his main center in Arizona and many other centers in North America, Europe, and Asia. For the last 22 years, Garchen Rinpoche has heeded an unending stream of requests to teach and has tirelessly traveled the world fulfilling his disciples' wishes.
His extraordinary selfless activities have been an inconceivable blessing and teaching for us all. Rinpoche has never asked for any personal time for himself.
Since 2016 we, the lamas on the Gargon Committee, have been reducing the amount of touring, traveling and teachings for H.E. Garchen Rinpoche, in an effort to respect his advancing age and safeguard his health. This April the worldwide Sangha celebrated his 83rd birthday.
However very recently while in Los Angeles, for the first time ever, H.E. Garchen Rinpoche privately announced to the lamas that were present, that 2019 will be the last year that he will be traveling to give teachings. Starting in 2020, Rinpoche wishes to reside full time at his main seat in the U.S., The Garchen Buddhist Institute.
All the lamas on the Gargon Committee unanimously support H.E. Garchen Rinpoche's decision.
To acknowledge what a significant change this is for many disciples and centers, The Garchen Buddhist Institute is creating new programs in 2020 that will bring H.E. Garchen Rinpoche and his teachings to the worldwide Sangha via an interactive live-stream forum yet to be determined. Scheduled times for pilgrimages to the Institute in Arizona will be arranged, especially for international centers.
H.E. Garchen Rinpoche has repeatedly said that as long as his students and centers can genuinely work together harmoniously with love and patience, the longer he will live.
We ask that the center directors and worldwide Sangha cooperate to support Rinpoche's wish and that we all practice his sublime teachings with diligence.
If you have any questions and/or suggestions about this change, please talk with your resident lama.
It is our heartfelt wish that H.E. Garchen Rinpoche Live Long and that each Sangha group does well with this adjustment!
With love and solidarity,
The Gargon Committee
New Office Building and Bath House
The first phase of planned improvements to the Institute property – the fulfillment of Garchen Rinpoche's wish – is becoming a reality! A new structure, built across from the existing office/bookstore, will house the office, a large and well designed bookstore, and staff rooms. The new bookstore will be a comfortable, well designed place to shop, while the added staff rooms will open up additional rooms for guests.
The existing office/bookstore will be converted into a bath house with additional showers, spacious lavatory facilities, and lockers. Plans have been drawn and approved, and we are beginning the approval processes with the county zoning commission.
Donate on PAYPAL to support Rinpoche's vision for the future.
Covered Walkway
Due to the kind sponsorship of a generous sangha member, a lovely new covered walk-way will be built connecting the temple to the present office building and cafeteria entrance. For those of you who have participated in the Yamantaka drupchen, this is the path taken by the "tunnel", and the covered walkway will be designed for easy conversion during the drupchen. It will be a graceful addition to our property, providing shade and beauty year 'round. We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsor.
Policy for Attending Events and Retreats
The facilities of the Garchen Buddhist Institute are available only to persons who are accepted as students participating in a specific event or program relating to Buddhist studies or specific retreat.

Chinese Cinderella Final Project
Last updated 9 years ago
No category Subject:
No topic
SUMMARYThis story is a memoir written about Adeline's life from the time she is 5 until the age of 14. Adeline Yen Mah grew up in China during WW II. Her family loathed her and considered her bad luck because her mother died giving birth to her. Throughout the novel, she struggles with being treated unfairly by people who are supposed to love her. She is smart and talented and finds a way to overcome these challenges. Her Aunt Baba is the only one who loves and cares for her. In the end, she earns the respect of her father but not the love she deserves.
Niang is Adeline's stepmother. She does everything in her power to make Adeline's life difficult including sending her away to boarding school. She does not get the same clothes, food, or privileges as her siblings.
THEME"Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted are the greatest poverty." I chose this statement because in the story Adeline often feels unwanted because she is abandoned and forgotten by her family. She has no one to talk to when she is sad or when she accomplishes great things. Aunt Baba isn't always around to help her. This shows that most people need to have family and friends that are there for them in order to be happy.
"By winning that prestigious international playwriting competition, you have climbed another rung on the ladder of success. Like Ye Xian, you have defied the odds and garnered triumph through your own efforts. Your future is limitless, and I shall always be proud of you, MY CHINESE CINDERELLA
The Bombing of Pearl Harbor affected Adeline's entire family. Japan was a very powerful country and wanted to do business with father. He often had to hide form them. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor the United States became involved in WW II. China was now occupied by French, Japanese, and United States soldiers. Adeline lived in the French Concession and was taught English at school.
One of the most important events in the story is when Adeline's father allows his dog to kill her chick. She had named this chick PLT (Precious Little Treasure). She loved PLT and was very upset because her brother picked chick over everyone else's.
SettingThe story takes place in China in 1941. The story ends in Hong Kong when Adleine is 14 years old in 1955. Throughout the story Adeline and her family live in various places liek Tianjin and Shanghai. She goes to many different schools and witnesses the French Concession, WW II, and the civil wat between the Communists and the Nationalists.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — NASA's quest to send astronauts out into the solar system begins this week with a two-laps-around-Earth test flight.
The new Orion spacecraft is not going to Mars just yet; Thursday's debut will be unmanned and last just 4½ hours. But it will be the farthest a built-for-humans capsule has flown since the Apollo moon missions, shooting 3,600 miles (5,800 kilometers) out into space in order to gain enough momentum to re-enter the atmosphere at a scorching 20,000 mph (32,000 kph).
(Years 2014-2019 based on budget estimates) Source: White House Office of Management and Budget historical tables.
The dry run, if all goes well, will end with a Pacific splashdown off Mexico's Baja coast. Navy ships will recover the capsule for future use.
This initial Orion is rigged with 1,200 sensors to gauge its durability for the day when astronauts do climb aboard during the decade ahead. Advertised destinations include an asteroid to be corralled in lunar orbit for human exploration in the 2020s, followed by Mars in the 2030s.
"We're approaching this as pioneers," said William Hill of NASA's exploration systems development office. "We're going out to stay eventually. … It's many, many decades away, but that's our intent."
Lockheed Martin Corp. built the capsule and is staging the $370 million test flight for NASA.
Orion is NASA's first new spacecraft for humans in more than a generation, succeeding the now-retired space shuttles. Unlike the capsules under development by two U.S. companies for space station crew transport, Orion is meant for the long haul, both in time and space; it would be supplemented with habitats for potential Mars trips.
"We need a spacecraft that's going to be sturdy enough and robust enough" to carry astronauts well beyond low-Earth orbit for weeks and months at a time, said Lockheed Martin's Bryan Austin, a former NASA shuttle flight director who will oversee Orion's maiden voyage.
"That's how Orion really separates itself from the commercial field. They're there to get you to station and back. Of course, we're there to be hardened enough to sustain it for that long duration."
For this orbital tryout, a Delta IV rocket will hoist Orion from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:05 a.m. EST (1205 GMT), just after sunrise. The rocket, with Orion and its launch escape tower at the tiptop, stretches 242 feet (74 meters) high.
Future Orion launches will use the mega rocket still under development by NASA, known as SLS or Space Launch System. The first Orion-SLS launch is targeted for 2018, unmanned, followed by the first piloted mission in 2021.
No one at NASA is pleased with such a slow pace. At best, it will be seven years before astronauts fly Orion — anywhere. By comparison, it took eight years from the time President John Kennedy announced his intentions of landing a man on the moon — before John Glenn had even rocketed into orbit — to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's lunar boot prints in 1969.
Given the present budget situation, "it is what it is," said Kennedy Space Center's director Robert Cabana, a former astronaut. And the presidential election ahead could bring further delays and uncertainties.
But don't confuse Orion with NASA's old-time Apollo capsules.
The 11-foot (3.3-meter)-tall Orion is designed to hold four astronauts, one more than Apollo. For relatively short outings of three weeks or so, Orion could accommodate six.
"People often ask us, 'Hey, this thing looks like a capsule, it looks like Apollo,' and people will confuse that with 'it's not new,' " said Scott Wilson, NASA's Orion production operations manager. While physics drives the capsule's outer bell shape, "everything else in the capsule is state-of-the-art," he said.
"Everything, from the thrusters, from the environmental control systems, to the structure itself" is benefiting from all the advances in technology, Wilson said. With no one on board, this first Orion will have hunks of aluminum in place of seats for ballast, simulators instead of cockpit displays and, obviously, no life-support.
The heat shield on Orion's base, designed to protect the craft from the searing temperatures of atmospheric re-entry, is 16.5 feet (5 meters) across and is the biggest, most advanced of its kind ever made, according to NASA. On this flight, Orion will reach close to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, not quite the 5,000 degrees F that would be generated from a moon mission, but close enough for a shakedown.
That's why Orion will aim for a 3,600-mile (5,800-kilometer)-high peak altitude, more than 14 times higher than the International Space Station — to pick up enough speed to come back fast and hot.

"The reality is that, for all the sustained and meaningful efforts of so many, gender bias remains very real today. And like most things in 2017, this bias, in its many guises, plays out pretty well on the internet." Refinery 29's Lily Silverton spoke with Art+Feminism.

…if not to rant?
I oughtn't rant. It's no use, and ranting into the void is unhealthy.
But what should one do about this US government? I live in Germany. What to do? When the cruelty is so evident and predictable, and yet so plausibly deniable to so many?
Recently visited San Francisco. Very mixed. Pretty city, full of wonders, but the psychotic homelessness doesn't seem like the product of individual troubles. It seems like a cultural consequence, a form of rot in the culture itself. Not just a drug issue. A culture issue. A language issue. A class issue, an American-Dream issue.
And I don't think Berkeley has the answer. It doesn't deserve the blame, but it doesn't have the answer.
You can see a divide there, between those who are rich enough not to care about the government, and those who are desperate enough to be unaware what it might be able to do for them — though they do seem to congregate around the civic center, as though asking the government a question, or at least pointing out its essential vacancy.
I don't think this experiment in government-absence will turn out well. But I don't think it will be stopped.
On the way back there was a high school field trip traveling to London in business class.

Camp Philosophy
We believe that your child should learn new things, meet new people, and best of all – forge friendships. Camp should be safe and run by trained counselors. Camp should also be fun and give many opportunities for YOUR child's personal growth. Here is how Hub Climbing camp can provide meaningful experiences and expand your child's horizons.Varied Experiences
Social Diversity
Hub provides a mix of activities so that learning comes naturally. We do more than climbing for our campers. We have arts and crafts, yoga, fitness games, outdoor games and, weather permitting, forest walks.
Multisensory Skill Building
We strive to create a social environment that is caring and supportive where campers feel they can take risks, make new friends and try new things. At Hub Climbing, most of our campers are totally new climbers who come from a variety of backgrounds.
Resilience and Overcoming Challenge
Climbing is both a cognitive and physical activity. The climbing challenges are designed to require a mix of athletic movement and delicate balance to complete.
Cognitive Development
Challenges always require conquering oneself. Your child will set personal goals, learn perseverance, explore and reflect on their successes and next steps. Talent is easy. Practice and trying is hard work. We will show youth, and adults too, that hard work can and should be fun. Remember, climbing is not about "heights" but about balance, goal setting, perseverance and of course brains and fitness.
Climbers will confront various challenges simultaneously. Participants leave the ground taking on short but tricky climbing challenges using their balance, technique, strength, and problem-solving skills. Their fear factor can be present as well. A climbing challenge can be as low as inches of the ground and still be very challenging to complete.Trained Camp Counsellors
Many of our coaches and camp program planners are certified teachers and/or teacher candidates and ECEs. More than that, our trained counselors share a love for the sport and the culture of co-operation. Your child will have experienced leadership from educators who love what they do. The counselors and teachers will set the tone for fun and excitement.
Supervision & Behavioural management
Our camp staff are trained in safety regulations, emergency procedures and communication, behavior management techniques, appropriate staff and camper behavior, and specific procedures for supervision.
Tour Available
We believe in positive reinforcement, assertive role modeling and a sense of fair play. Camp takes place with a ratio of no more than 5 campers per counselor. Rules are necessary for any organization to maintain the safety and enjoyment of all participants. We use a progressive disciplinary approach where expectations are clearly stated at the beginning of each activity.
Come in and see us in action. Email us and set up a tour. There are also dozens of reviews online about our facility that will help you learn more about our unique organization and vision.
We look forward to seeing you at Hub Climbing this upcoming camp season!
Your friends @ Hub Climbing
