Imagine that you've died and gone to hell, and damnation turns out to be a job at Walmart with a psychotic boss and a "No Exit" directive from corporate headquarters.
Such is the approximate fate of various characters in Rowen Casey's "ValueVille," a frequently priceless comic musical. Eddie (David Spadora), who has a fresh M.F.A. from N.Y.U., never expected to find himself working at a ValueVille store, even as a temp in the afterlife.
Mr. Casey's music and lyrics are first-rate, whether in semi-silly mode ("I'm, Like, Sposed, to Be a Model") or going for heartfelt drama (Mr. Spadora's moving love song "Piece by Piece"). His book plays with stereotypes, giving us a cocky Asian guy who speaks hip-hop (Karl Josef Co); a skinny blond white-trash type whose worldview is culled from fan magazines and old movie plots (Lara Hughes); and a plus-size black woman with attitude (NaTasha Yvette Williams), who you know will inevitably have a booming gospel-like solo grand enough to bring down the house. (It's called "Live Like You Dream.")
Their boss, Don (a spectacularly perverse Christopher Sutton), transcends stereotype. From the moment he greets the new employee by snapping, "Eddie is a child's name," he is clearly an original. And Donna Lynne Champlin's keen, polished direction presents him as a fully formed little monster.
Sometimes the store's fluorescent lights flicker, sputter and threaten to shut down, which is an apt metaphor for this show's only significant flaw — a raggedness that can be worked out with time.

Anyone who follows me on Dogbook knows I love going to Dog Park. It is a lovely place, over seven acres of fields and woodlands that follow a river. Dogs can run in the fields and swim in the river or just walk along the wonderful paths with their humans for miles and miles. All filled with such great smells!
I love going to Dog Park because there is soooo much to do. I get to run free and don't have to worry about Mom or Dad getting lost. I have to wear my leash when we get out of the car, although it is a hassle, but our dog park is not fenced in so Mom wants to make sure I am away from traffic before I can go off leash. It seems like a long time but it is not because most of the property is far away from the road where there are cars so when Mom feels safe, she takes my leash off and I am on my own!
There are lots of different tails so we, usually Mom or Dad, can decide how long we can stay at Dog Park. I like the really long one that run by the big hill and then to the swimming hole cuz that's where most of the dogs hang out. Sure, we meet lots of dogs along the trails but the swimming hole is where the action is. On the weekend, you can find 20 dogs and their humans hanging around the big field by the swimming hole. The humans are all drinking their coffees and talking and us dogs, well; we are having lots of fun! Nobody cares if we dig holes or run around with big sticks. Some dogs like to jump in the river and splash around. In the Summer I will go in up to my knees but even though I'm part Lab, I'm not crazy about water.
Sometimes I meet up with old friends but lots of the times I get to play with new dogs. I love playing tag and chase and there is usually someone who wants to play.
Even when we go on a weekday and the park is quiet, I still get a lot of exercise so when I get home, all I want to do is nap. Somebody said that a tired dog is a good dog. I guess I can't get into too much trouble if I'm sleeping. Mom says going to Dog Park is good for humans too cuz they need exercise too.
I love Dog Park but it is not for everyone. Dogs are social beings and like to be around other dogs. Living with humans is nice but we need to talk with other dogs sometimes. Just like human females need a "Girls Night Out' and male humans need "A Night Out With the Guys" Dogs need to be with other dogs sometimes. If you are thinking of taking your dog to a dog park, you might want to check it out alone first. Some dogs are really shy and would not like being at a dog park. If you see that your dog is not having fun, be a good human and take them home where they feel safe.
Some parks, like in cities, have supervised play. I had supervised play when I went to day care and it was nice but we don't have that at Dog Park. At Dog Park all of the humans need to watch their own dogs to make sure they are playing nice. Mom almost never takes calls on her cell phone when we are at Dog Park. She says even she deserves an hour or so away from business.
I try to play nice with all the dogs but I know Mom is always watching to make sure. Once or twice when she thought I was having too much fun, she called me away and made me sit for a minute until I calmed down. What can I say, some games are quite intense.
A couple more things: there are hundreds of dogs that visit dog parks every day and you can't know where some paws have been so make sure you are up to date on all of your shots. Also, your humans should be prepared to clean up after you. My Mom carries poop bags in all of her jacket pockets. It gets kind of embarrassing when she tries to get a business card out of a pocket and a bunch of poop bags come out too. It's about priorities…
Your friend,
ZevaP.S. Shameless self promotion ... After a walk in the park I am ready for a snack and we keep my snacks in My Own Cookie Tin. You can have your very own cookie tin too ....

Humpback and minke whales cavort and feed in the waters around the impressive volcanic island of Jan Mayen with its towering ebony peaks and broad black lava beaches. The primordial landscape is dominated to the north by the 7,500 feet high (2,300 meters) Mt Beerenberg, an active volcano covered in glacial ice that last erupted in 1985. With permission from the Norwegian authorities, a landing is possible at this rarely visited outpost. Visitors may walk to the research and weather station, or beyond, for birds-eye views of the meteorological station and the long black sandy eastern shore of the island. Birds to be seen here may include Atlantic Puffins, Northern Fulmars, and Snow Buntings.

BiND: Day 28
Well, it's a hard day in the life of an Israelite. The kings just get worse and worse. In the northern kingdom (Israel), they've finally prostituted themselves enough and end up overrun by Assyria, a powerful empire in that time. The capital of Israel (Samaria) was overrun by Assyria in 722BC. The Assyrians had a pretty shrewd annexation strategy—they would take over a land, cart the people off to somewhere else, and move in their own people or people forcibly relocated from somewhere else. This way they could be sure political and military uprisings would be curtailed, since there would be language, cultural, and religious barriers to the new residents of the land getting together to resist the occupying forces. This is the consequence, the deuteronomic historian seems to say, of covenant breaking. Interestingly, this is basically the beginning of "Samaritans" as a category of people. The new residents of the land are taught about the religious practices of "the god of the land" but they also continue in some of their own practices. Later on down the historical line, the descendents of these people will be known as Samaritans, despised because of their impure blood and their impure religious practices.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch in Judah, things are going sort of okay. The kings aren't quite as bad…well, except a few…and there are even two who are downright trying! But by the time we get to Josiah, the king who reigns when the book of the law is "found" and who institutes widespread reform in religious and social practice, the one who brings the nation back to covenant keeping…well, it's too late. No matter how hard Josiah tries, he isn't able to save himself or his nation. Good works, even a good work of having faith, isn't enough for salvation. (As Christians, we know this: we don't earn our salvation, it's a gift of God called grace.) Josiah dies in a battle at Megiddo (remember Ron telling us about Megiddo, which is known as "Har Megiddo" (har means mountain/hill)—which leads to the word "armageddon"? interesting…) and the next couple of kings just get the Israelites into even more trouble. Ultimately the Babylonians (the Assyrians are toast by this time) come in and lay siege to Jerusalem, destroying the whole place, including the Temple, in 587 BC.
It's hard to overstate the importance of 587 in biblical history. This is THE central event of the Israelite people. Everything (pretty much all the writing from Joshua on down through the history and the prophets and even into the new testament) leads here and back, over and over again. The chosen people, the chosen house, the chosen land…chosen no more. The very place where God chose to live…gone. Overrun. Destroyed. Razed. The people deported or killed. This is the crisis of faith, the crisis of covenant, the crisis of life. The people are taken away from their promised land, and it looks as though God has departed, leaving the people on their own. It's hard to imagine, but in the worldview of the time, in the religious belief of the time, either God had abandoned the people or God wasn't the powerful deity they'd thought. It's not looking good. And the king? Well, after a few years in a Babylonian prison, he's let out and ends up a courtier with a stipend from the king of Babylon. It looks like his evil ways continue….but so does the Davidic dynastic line, technically. You see, Jehoiachin can't simply be eliminated because he is the last remnant of God's promise, a glimmer of grace in a foreign land. He is the hope of the historian, the hope of the Israelite people who still have energy to look to the future.

PS: There are conflicting scholarly/religious accounts of just how many people went into exile—anywhere from "just the power players" to "everyone" seems to be on the table. What's important here is not whether the entire people was taken away or whether only the king and his court were—what's important is that the people felt adrift, cut off, like they had left God and/or God had left them. They were in exile not just from their land but their Lord as well. In some ways we, who understand the covenant differently, can still relate to this. Though we don't believe there to be literal physical repercussions for covenant breakage (like losing a job or contracting an illness or enduring a tragedy), we do know from personal experience that breaking the covenant leads us to exile in different ways (whether an inner sense of disconnect from God or a literal being cut off from the community we need, or a bunch of other ways). The ancient worldview can only see physical, or "real" consequences, whereas we are aware that there are other kinds of consequences. So it is possible, if we wish, to read the exile in our own time as a physical manifestation of an inner/psychological/spiritual phenomenon. Okay…end excursus on contemporary exile…

Geckoboard is solving a problem that too many businesses have: what to do with all of this data? Within any given company, individuals and teams use a growing list of tools and services that cover things like marketing automation, CRM, customer service, social media, e-commerce, content management...the list goes on and on. Combine that with a company's proprietary data, and many companies are often left with an abundance of siloed information that never seems to work in unison and is difficult to access, comprehend, and share with the entire company. The end result is that, more often than not, data is only used by the small group of people directly interacting with it.
But there's hope: Geckoboard sits in the middle of all of these disparate sources, making it possible to unlock data and communicate it with the entire company through simple, effective dashboards. Since 2010, Geckoboard has helped companies of all sizes track their progress and make data-driven decisions from a wide variety of data sources.
Customer satisfaction comes first
In addition caring to about data, Geckoboard cares about creating a great experience for its customers, which is why they chose Zendesk Support as their customer service software.
"Satisfaction for customers is what it's all about. Geckoboard is a SaaS company, and whilst we're always trying to improve the software we make, it's equally important to us to make the 'service' part of the equation as good as it can be. Zendesk Support helps us do that really well," said Nick Smith, an official Growth Hacker at Geckoboard.
"That's why people choose us over competitors, or instead of creating their own version of what we do," Smith said. "They expect a level of service and, really, the service side of things is almost a feature of Geckoboard itself. Support helps us deliver that, without really thinking about it. We can just focus on delivering awesomeness all the time."
Backing up the talk with data-driven customer service
One of the cornerstones of Geckoboard's customer experience is a thriving help center, where customers can quickly and easily find the information they need. With Support, Geckoboard not only has the infrastructure to provide an excellent self-service option, but the data to constantly improve it. Tracking the volume of tickets tagged by the type of inquiry helps Geckoboard's support team decide what help center articles will have the greatest impact, ensuring customers can find what they need. As Smith said, this also frees up Geckoboard's customer success team to be more proactive: "They can find and create really cool resources that aren't just about solving someone's issue at the time it happens, but more about helping people really engage with the product and getting more out of it."
In addition to helping improve the customer experience, customer service data gives Geckoboard's product team insight into how customers are interacting with the product. In fact, the customer success and product management teams worked on creating a set of categories for tagging tickets, which allows the product team make use of customer service data. For instance, integrations are vital to Geckoboard so they get their own tag. The product management team then uses this tag to track the most popular integration requests and to make data-driven decisions about the product.
Getting it right the first time
For customers, having their issue resolved in one interaction, rather than multiple back and forths, is often the difference between a good and bad experience. Recognizing this, Geckoboard takes advantage of Support web forms to ensure they get what they need to efficiently meet a customer's needs.
"We are getting information that we need in the first interaction," said Luis Hernandez, Geckoboard's customer success manager. "We are gathering all the information that we need in one go (account name, permission to access the customer's account, etc.), so that by the time we respond, we only have to fix the issue. That flexibility has definitely made a big difference on our response times and satisfaction for customers."
Additionally, Geckoboard set up a nifty JavaScript to help them improve their self-service. If a customer searches for a term in their help center that produces zero results, the Support ticket is automatically tagged to let the customer success team know that the customer searched for that term before creating the ticket.

About MiEnergy
MiEnergy Cooperative was formed in 2017 from the merger of Hawkeye REC and Tri-County Electric Cooperative.
Hawkeye REC was founded in 1936 and since then the membership has covered a range of home, farm, business and commercial consumers in Chickasaw, Howard and Winneshiek counties in Iowa. Before the merger with Tri-County Electric Cooperative, HREC had about 6,700 electrical services.
Tri-County Electric Cooperative was founded in 1936 when power was not available to rural residents. Local citizens banded together to build lines going out to their homes and farms. For 80 years, TEC served three counties in Minnesota including Winona, Houston and Fillmore and parts of Olmsted and Mower counties and also served portions of Howard, Winneshiek and Allamakee counties in Iowa. Before the merger with Hawkeye REC, TEC had about 15,000 electrical services.

The same, but different
Posted by riverbedtest on September 16, 2011
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." With all of the challenges and the increasing pace of decisions that need to be made in corporate IT these days, I suspect there are a lot of geniuses running enterprise networks!
Many of our customers tell me they have a similar dilemma — "I have a lot of branch offices and sites, each with their own personality, requirements and expectations, yet I achieve a lot of benefit in IT by keeping things the same as much as possible, in terms of reducing complexity and costs." For example, some sites may need an enterprise class firewall or a print server, while other more remote sites are not directly connected to the Internet or need fewer services. Virtualization offers benefits here — by increasing the flexibility by which software and services can be deployed, branch offices can be deployed as a uniform framework across many sites, while enabling administrators to clearly define where customization can and cannot be deployed.
Riverbed has been shipping a technology called RSP, the Riverbed Services Platform, for quite some time now — I love to bring this up this solution with customers who are facing this problem of managing multiple heterogeneous sites. One of Riverbed's strengths is that our technology can optimize almost anything that travels across a customer's WAN, so by standardizing on Riverbed Steelheads for their WAN performance needs, they keep costs and complexity low.
Now, enter RSP: by adding additional services running virtually on Steelheads deployed at the branches, each site can be changed to suit the individual needs of that site, while still maintaining a consistent virtualized platform across the enterprise. I like to think of RSP as the Swiss Army knife of the branch. We have customers running everything from Windows Server 2008R2, to Linux, to one of our numerous technology partners on RSP, all to satisfy the specific requirements of each site. Some examples are:
- DNS, DHCP, Print, and other services on Windows Server. This is a common use case that allows you to run lightweight services at the branch virtually, without additional hardware. You can even add additional storage to the Windows VM with iSCSI, or enable Branch Cache on the VM to add one-way file caching.
- Steelhead Mobile Controller Virtual Edition (SMC-VE) Sites that have mobile users that need acceleration can benefit by consolidating and simplifying deployment, management and reporting functions.
- Cascade Sensor VE. Often, Steelhead appliances sit near the branch gateway and have a bird's eye view of traffic entering and exiting the branch. By adding a Cascade Sensor VE, this information can be visualized, analyzed and reported.
- Firewalls and Security Technologies: including McAfee Firewall Enterprise Virtual Edition and Check Point Secure Gateway.
- Branch Office Routing: by using Vyatta on RSP, you can easily turn your Steelhead into an OSPF or IS-IS router, for example, for sites that need more sophisticated routing needs.
All in all, you can run up to 5 virtual machine instances on each RSP platform, and manage all of them under one interface using the Riverbed Central Management Console (CMC). This is an easy way by which you can make your branch offices the same, but different enough to fulfill the diverse requirements of the distributed enterprise.

Mostert enters the 2019 season optimistic, having finished the previous campaign with a string of top five and top ten finishes, including a dominating win on the streets of Gold Coast in October.
Supercheap Auto has so many great trade partners who have supported us the past several years, and its great to add Bendix to the fold. Theyre very excited to be a part of the team, and really we appreciate that enthusiasm. Its been a good start to the year, and hopefully well share plenty of success together in 2019.

Makeup Review : Brilliant Riche Lip Colour (Elianto)
I heard the rave about Elianto's newest product Brilliant Riche Lip Colour. So here it is. Does it claim what it suppose to do?
Elianto's 1st Kiss Proof Lip Colour
Transfer Resistant
Long Lasting
Weightless, Ultra-thin Film
Vibrant Matte Finish
Intense Rich, Vivid Shades
Made in Italy
Usage: Apply evenly to clean, dry lips.
USP: Elianto Brilliant Riche Lip Colour infuses lips with bright, intense colour, combining a lightweight yet long-lasting formula with moisturising ingredients.
Source : Elianto Website
I get the number #5 : Groovy with the price RM25.00.
It have a sort of round tip applicator. The colour is kinda purple red tone. I love that sort of colour. Haha.. Anyway even I really love the colour it really pigmented and really bright for me. I think I get the wrong colour. I should get the sexy or any colour below #4. -sigh- I really have a problem getting the colour that I want @_@
Anyway, this product claims to be transfer resistance. Well it really transfer resistance. It dries too quickly that I have to apply and blend to my lips really quickly or otherwise it will dry and I get a really bright and pigmented lipsticks. Then to tone down the colour, I use tissue, wet tissue to remove some of the colour but this stuff is really resistance with water that all my effort is useless. So this stuff really claims what it suppose to do. Even when drinking there are no more lipsticks stain!!
So what I think about this lipsticks? Well it really do what it claims it to be. It transfer resistance and I need to apply it quickly. The only thing is the colour is too bright and again it is just probably my problem because getting the wrong colour. I'll buy another colour to see whether I can use it on my everyday makeup.
- really transfer resistance
- highly pigmented
- do not leave stain on mug
- dries really quickly and need to blend out quickly
- yes. I need an everyday colour.
p/s: to get the long lasting effect, wear it on the dry lips and without any lipgloss. It will stay much longer. ;)
Update : Last time I went to Elianto and get all the swatch colours.
I definitely like #4 Sexy and mine #5 is actually really bright among other colours.

"The Intensive Arabic Semester was probably the best exposure I could have gotten anywhere to Levantine Arabic. I developed a solid foundation in the dialect, and improved my Classical Arabic as well. It's up to you (the participant) to make connections outside of the classroom, but if you are willing to make the effort, you not only learn the language; you make friends that you will probably know for the rest of your life. Even more than language training, I gained a new family." Emily Leavitt, 2013 graduate

Monopoly and the Incentive to Innovate When Adoption Involves Switchover Disruptions
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 13864
When considering the incentive of a monopolist to adopt an innovation, the textbook model assumes that it can instantaneously and seamlessly introduce the new technology. In fact, firms often face major problems in integrating new technologies. In some cases, firms have to (temporarily) produce at levels substantially below capacity upon adoption. We call such phenomena switchover disruptions, and present extensive evidence on them. If firms face switchover disruptions, then they may temporarily lose some unit sales upon adoption. If the firm loses unit sales, then a cost of adoption is the foregone rents on the sales of those units. Hence, greater market power will mean higher prices on those lost units of output, and hence a reduced incentive to innovate. We introduce switchover disruptions into some standard models in the literature, show they can overturn some famous results, and then show they can help explain evidence that firms in more competitive environments are more likely to adopt technologies and increase productivity.

My thoughts while watching this video: "Oh. Another bad driver. Even managed to wipe out in a Porsche Cayman. Welp, looks like they're going to try to keep going. Should just pull over. Why do they keep spinning out? What's wrong with them? Oh – oh yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. That'll definitely do it."
Don't drive like an idiot. But if you do drive like an idiot, and you crash, don't drive like an idiot. Especially if your wheel falls off.

I have been wearing glasses now for the past few years, it started off just for driving and somehow, seemingly overnight, not sure when, I started wearing them all the time, it just felt right. My first pair of glasses were slim, thin frames, you know the ones I mean, the glasses you think no one can see – they can and they look terrible. It wasn't until I started wearing them more often that I realised that my glasses could be as stylish as the rest of my accessories, which meant I started looking around for cool frames, and I now have about four pairs – two black, one purple, and a brown tortoise-shell pair that I adore – each are comfortable, each a little different, but at the same way kind of the same – retro with slightly larger frames.
But each of these pairs of glasses I have either got them from Specsavers, they have a great designer selection and my Karen Millen beauties are the lightest glasses I own, or Tescos, don't mock it, they sell Retro54 glasses that I love and always have a great 2 for 1 deal. Buying glasses online has always scared me a little, maybe it is a case of not being able to try them on, or worried about the quality, but something has always held me back – well that was until Swag & Stare reached out and asked me to try out their site.
First thing, lets discuss the name, Swag & Stare, anyone else thinking that it is genius – I love how it makes wearing glasses cool. But even though it is the name that draws you in it is everything else that converts you from the amazing selection of vintage-inspired frames to the bargain price, you get designer glasses for £95 including frames, lenses, coatings and shipping, and then you find out that it is also a company that loves to give back as 10% of its profits are donated to British eye charities – kind of reminded me a little of Toms.
Even with the price and the charity angle most of my friends still said they were worried about buying glasses online – so I thought I would take you through how easy it was to use Swag & Stare – I promise it is easy, plus you will get a great pair of glasses!!!
There are two ways in which to decide whether they are the right frames for you – either use the online virtual try-on feature using your webcam, which is surprisingly accurate, or what I did and would recommend is to do the home try-on, where you get to choose 4 pairs of glasses, keep them for 5 days to try them on at your leisure and then send them back in the free pre-paid – so easy.
Having four slots sounds a lot, but I loved so many of the styles, but I finally settled on four very similar shaped frames, but instead of black I actually went for a little colour. First up we have the Gramercy in red, Astrid in pink, Bohannon in a honey shade, and Duval in a navy blue hue – yep I couldn't resist modelling them all.
From just looking online I thought I would go for the Duval, I am going through a blue moment, but actually the feel just wasn't right, in the end my favourites were the super lightweight Gramercy that are made from the durable and flexible Flexpex, and the Bohannon, which kind of surprised me a little, they were my wildcard addition but actually love the honey colouring of the frames.
In the end I went for the Gramercy, I think the light frame just helped it win over the Bohannon, plus I love the subtle colouring of the red as it is looks darker and brighter dependant on the lighting and the black arms were so comfortable. I can't wait for them to arrive with my prescription in – I think these beauties are going to be my new everyday glasses.
What do you think – did I go for the right frames?
Have you ever bought glasses online? I am interested to know your views and also recommendations for other great sites – leave me a comment below.

Water Power
Vitruvius, the godfather of Roman engineering, describes several pieces of technology that the Romans used for water power. Combining Greek technologies like the toothed gear and the water wheel, Romans were able to develop advanced sawmills, flourmills and turbines.
The undershot wheel, another Roman invention, rotated under the force of flowing (rather than falling) water, making it possible to build floating waterwheels to grind grain supplies. This came in handy during the siege of Rome in 537 A.D., when the defending general, Belisarius, solved the problem of the Gothic siege cutting off food supplies by building several floating mills on the Tiber to keep the populace supplied with bread.
Strangely, archaeological evidence suggests that though Romans had the mechanical expertise necessary to build all sorts of water-powered devices, they did so only rarely, preferring cheap and widely available slave labor instead. Nonetheless, their watermill at Barbegal (in what is now France) was one of the largest industrial complexes in the ancient world before the Industrial Revolution, with 16 waterwheels to grind flour for the surrounding communities.

Important: The information on this website is for experienced investors. It is not advice nor a research or personal recommendation to invest. If you're unsure, please seek advice. Investments are for the long term. They are high risk and illiquid and can fall as well as rise in value, so you could get back less than you invest.
The offer
There are an estimated 8 million period properties with suspended timber floors in the UK and millions more globally.
Lack of insulation means these homes could be losing up to 25% heat through the floor. The cost is huge: from soaring energy bills to fuel poverty.
Insulating suspended floors could cut heat loss through the floor by 92%. If all 8 million homes had their floors insulated, the resulting CO2 saving could be equivalent to shutting down two power stations.
However, current floor insulation methods take many weeks, cost huge amounts of money and are highly disruptive to the people living in the property.
Q-Bot Limited ("Q-Bot" or the "Company") was set up in 2012 to tackle this. It has created Europe's first fully accredited solution to this problem, using a robot to insulate floors in just one day with none of the disruption and a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
There's no need to remove the existing floor: the robot can be inserted into the most hard-to-reach places through an air vent or a pulled-up corner of carpet to access the floorboards. Once inserted, it's driven in the void between the floor and the ground and accurately applies spray foam insulation to the underside of the floor. The robot is powerful yet compact, with intelligent control systems that can carry out complex procedures in difficult environments.
Q-Bot's solution is the only fully accredited system in Europe that does not require the full floor to be lifted, representing a huge opportunity for this early mover to become the market leader.
The technology is proven and is being commercialised.
With sales to date of £3 million, Q-Bot is already used by many local councils and housing associations, has a signed partnership agreement with a global construction company and has provisionally agreed terms with one of the big six energy suppliers. The Company plans to rapidly scale, aiming to take annual sales to over £76 million by 2024 – this is a target and not guaranteed.
Now Q-Bot is raising £3 million under EIS to fund its planned growth.
Approximately £1.4 million is exclusively available to Wealth Club investors in this private offer.
In our view, this is a commercially compelling investment opportunity with global potential. It could also deliver significant benefits – not just to investors, but also to society and the environment.

Management team
Multi-award winning Q-Bot is the brainchild of successful green-tech entrepreneur Tom Lipinski, high-tech entrepreneur Mathew Holloway, and Professor Peter Childs, Head of the Dyson School of Design Engineering and the Professorial Lead in Engineering Design at Imperial College London.
The three founders share a vision that technology and robotics can transform the built environment and Q-Bot can become a global leader in construction innovation.
All three are still involved in the business: Mr Holloway as CEO and Mr Lipinsky and Prof Childs as non-executive directors.
Q-Bot now employs 31 people.
EMV Capital Ltd ("EMV") advises Q-Bot on positioning itself for the most successful exit and driving shareholder value. EMV is a London-based investor focussed on B2B companies in industrial high-tech sectors.
Target returns and exit options
The Company is targeting midpoint net returns of 24x in year 5 before EIS tax relief, not guaranteed. The management team intends to stay in the business for the mid to long term in order to fulfil its growth ambitions. An exit might be considered after year 5. An IPO, trade sale or sale to a large private equity house are some of the options, but timeframes and exits are not guaranteed: this is a long term and illiquid investment.
The valuation multiple of 16.2x is based on what high-tech quoted companies in the US focusing on the construction/engineering sectors are currently achieving.
In our view, if the Company achieves its forecasts this multiple is not unrealistic, although there are no guarantees.
Risks – important
This, like all investments available through Wealth Club, is only for experienced investors happy to make their own investment decisions without advice.
EIS / SEIS investments are high-risk so should only form part of a balanced portfolio and you should not invest money you cannot afford to lose. They also tend to be illiquid and hard to sell and value. Before you invest, please carefully read the Risks and Commitments and the offer documents to ensure you fully understand the risks.
This is a single company EIS offer with no diversification. It involves investing in an early-stage business which is by nature high risk and prone to failure. You could lose the amount you invest.
The value of tax benefits depends on circumstances and tax rules can change.
Fees and charges
There is no direct fee charged to the investor.
Q-Bot will pay a fee of 3.75% of the funds raised to Wealth Club. Q-Bot will also pay a fee of 2.25% to EMV.
Q-Bot pays EMV ongoing director fees.
On exit, EMV is entitled to a performance fee predicated on investors achieving an exit greater than 1.1x. EMV will charge investors a 20% performance fee on investor profit over this hurdle. EMV will pay Wealth Club 15% of this fee, which equates to an overall 3% performance fee.
Our view
Q-Bot has achieved a huge amount since it was founded seven years ago, which is testament to the highly skilled and dedicated management team, in our view. It has developed leading-edge robotics, secured the accreditations and acquired large paying customers. It is currently the only affordable and scalable solution for underfloor insulation, so the Company appears to be in a very exciting position.
Whilst entrepreneurial, the Company has robust corporate governance in place and receives ongoing advice from EMV on how to drive shareholder value. Securing investment from a fund that knows the sector inside out after extensive due diligence validates in our view the valuation and growth prospects. However, experienced investors should form their own view.
We are encouraged by the strength of the current order book which means the Company has secured half of next year's budget already.
We consider this an exciting, although high-risk, EIS opportunity with potential for attractive returns at the same time as having a positive impact on society and the environment.

In late October, Mali became the fifth country in West Africa to confirm a case of the Ebola virus disease, after a two year old girl was brought to the country from Guinea, where her own mother had passed away earlier in the month.
The child and her grandmother travelled hundreds of kilometres by bus to Kayes, the main town in western Mali, where she was hospitalized with symptoms. The youngster passed away two days later.
The case sent health officials into overdrive, as they endeavoured to trace and monitor more than 100 people who may have come into contact with the little girl.
"With a confirmed Ebola case now in Mali, we are stepping up our activities, in coordination with the Ministry of Health and other partners," says Dr Aissa Fall, regional health manager for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Sharing a border with Guinea, where the Ebola outbreak began ten months ago, means Mali had already been considered highly vulnerable to the virus' spread. To prepare for this eventuality, IFRC released emergency funds in April, to help the Mali Red Cross Society conduct preparedness activities.
A total of 200 Red Cross volunteers have since been trained and mobilized in the at-risk communities of Bamako, Kayes, Koulikoro and Sikasso. They are visiting communities and using multi-faceted communication approaches including door-to-door visits, community theatre, and radio programming to help people understand how they can protect themselves against Ebola and prevent the spread of the virus.
"Borders are still very porous in West Africa with a number of people moving back and forth every day between the countries," says Dr Fall. "That's why we should strengthen cross-border epidemiological surveillance and also preparedness measures in both affected and non-affected countries."
IFRC has launched six emergency appeals (Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Senegal and Nigeria, and one for coordination) and eight preparedness operations in response to the Ebola virus disease outbreak. As Senegal and Nigeria have successfully contained the outbreaks and have been declared free of the disease, Red Cross activities in these countries are focusing on communication and social mobilization with communities. For a complete breakdown of how the Red Cross is working to contain the Ebola outbreak, visit www.ifrc.org/ebola-crisis.
