Team of experts of the EU-Eastern Partnership Culture and Creativity Programme shares 8 key rules for efficient management of cultural projects from strategic, cooperation and communication prospective.
This tool can encapsulate your whole organisation on a single page. The document is the result of a consultation process that will force you and all the people working in your organisation to interrogate what you do; the impact of your work and how it contributes to your organisations overall goals. If done collaboratively with all staff it will mean everyone will be engaged, but also gives everyone a shared and clear logic on all decisions. The document tests those nice ideas and proposals that don't quite fit your daily operations and allows you to easily drop things that do not fit your organisational focus.
You have to have a clear, simple and realistic vision of what the organisation can achieve. An organisation will probably only do one new thing a year - so make it count. Let the vision tell a story about the organisation. This vision has to have its own life and be an inspiration to those who work in an organisation. People have to understand where they are going. This will help them to contribute to the vision and take on some of the collective responsibility, or come up with exciting ideas. This vision also helps people to identify and collect relevant evidence of success on that journey.
Everyone likes to understand where they fit. If work teams have unclear structures they tend to collapse. You don't necessarily need organograms. You can use a responsibility table (search online for RASI) to take a complicated or problematic activity, and to break that task down step by step. Just ask everyone what they think their level of responsibility is. You will soon see where the problem lies. Either people will overlap in their duties, or there will be an important stage where no-one takes responsibility.
Too often we are only concerned with direct results of our activities and we do not pay too much attention to the wider impact of what we do. If cultural and creative operators want to strengthen their position in the society, they need to show that their activities have a long-term impact on people's lives, on the future of the cities and regions, etc. For example, we know from the European experience, that organising cultural festivals in regions can generate direct economic results for many related companies. This means that there is a need to develop better data collection and analysis methods to measure the long-term impact of culture and creativity.
In addition to the artistic value, culture and creativity hold a key to solving some of the most important challenges our world is facing - ageing population, conflict-resolution, immigration and integration, environmental footprint, etc. Creativity is a key ingredient in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, it helps to shape education systems for the future, and much more. To encourage spillover effects, try to bridge different sectors and work across disciplines, mix different expertise, backgrounds, ages; work with other artists, policy makers, industries.
Being well connected across borders has a number of valuable benefits, including a possibility to learn from good practice from other countries, apply to cross-border funding mechanisms, e.g. Creative Europe, involve foreign experts in development activities, use international networks to share the information and find new markets for your products and services. In most of the cultural and creative sectors there are well functioning European-wide networks, associations, and organisations, which are often open for partner organisations from Eastern Partnership countries and which are actively looking for new partners from this region.
Do not just spread information about your project but think about what, why and to whom you are communicating. It means that you will need to target and to tailor information. Explore how your target audience receives information and what does attract your audience. Speak with your audience the same language, use examples of real people and explain the impact of your activities.
Together with a strategy for your organization or project, prepare the communication plan. It will help you to structure and to plan your PR activities.
Spend at least one lunch per week with a journalist or one of your stakeholders. Individual contact and networking will inspire you and will help to get feedback.
Your team is the main brand ambassador of your project. It is also your key resource. Start with establishing mission and values of your organization that members of your team will share. Develop regular flow of information, ideas, and knowledge in your organization. In addition to the team meetings, you can introduce 1-2 hours workshop (weekly/monthly) by one of your staff around his/her professional specialization (combined with pizza).

Irving Azoff
CEO Movie Maker Entertainer Bars Foellinger Custard Cup Concerts REO Speedwagon Chicago Los Angeles Hall of Famers 1970 2003 Music Danville Dan Fogelberg
2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee | CEO, Azoff MSG Entertainment
Twenty things you should know about award-winning music mogul, 1960s UI student, proud central Illinois native and 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Irving Azoff:
1. His first client was a fellow Illini — the late, great Dan Fogelberg. Azoff left C-U for California in 1970 to promote the then-unknown. (That's them in the photo, circa the '70s).
"What I remember when I think of those (early) days is that we were just so damn cocky," Fogelberg told Copley News Service in 1997. "Not arrogant but so full of ourselves that we never ever imagined it wouldn´t happen.
"Because Irving gave us that. He was just brash as all get-out and he gave us that confidence."
2. As he rose through the entertainment ranks — CEO of Ticketmaster, CEO of Live Nation, manager and agent to the stars — he never forgot where he came from: Danville, IL 61832.
"To this day," he told us, "I credit my Illinois upbringing with giving me my work ethic and street sense. All who experience downstate Illinois upbringing are a fortunate lot."
3. Azoff checked out of the UI before finishing his studies but does hold an Illinois degree — an honorary doctorate in music, awarded in 2003.
4. A favorite UI memory: the summer of 1968, when a certain album with a catchy title track debuted.
"I still remember when 'Hey Jude' was released," Azoff says. "I went to buy the album the day it came out at that little record store upstairs on Green Street.
"I had walked over from our little blue-jean bell-bottom retail store next to the Brown Jug called No Hassle. We were grossing more than Redwood & Ross."
5. The man loves his Custard Cup — the Danville version, that is — ending an email to us with: "Have a Custard Cup for me."
"When I left home to attend the U of I, we were living on Ridgeview Road, about a quarter of a mile down the street from the Custard Cup," he says. "I must have consumed thousands of fudge sundaes and lemon custard, washed down with chocolate ice cream sodas. On hot summer nights, we would have round one, then speed across Lake Vermilion in someone's father's convertible with the top down, then right back to the Custard Cup."
6. He's practically the fifth member of The Eagles. When the band was inducted into the Rock Hall 20 years ago, the first person Don Henley thanked at the ceremony was "Irving Azoff, without whom we wouldn't be here today."
At which point Glenn Frey chimed in: "Well, we might still be here; we wouldn´t have made as much money."
7. Among the other A-listers he's represented over the years: Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Christina Aguilera, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Steely Dan and, of course, Champaign-born REO Speedwagon.
8. He's one of several famous former Illini who hail from Danville, a club that also includes former NASA astronaut Joe Tanner, Oscar winner Gene Hackman and state Supreme Court Justice Rita Garman.
9. Just how big a player in the entertainment business is he?
In 2012, when Billboard magazine created its Power 100, he occupied first place.
"Azoff's placement at the top of the list is due to his command of the biggest concert-promotion company, the largest ticketing company and the largest artist-management firm in the world."
10. Best advice Azoff has ever been given? "Return every phone call and letter — or, email now." (We can attest that he does).
11. Long before he worked in the business, he caught the music bug.
First concert as a kid? The Beach Boys at Indiana Beach.
Most memorable concert growing up? "It was August 20, 1965," Azoff says. "My dad and I drove to Chicago to Comiskey Park to see the Beatles.
"I remember the big Vox speaker cabinets up and down the first- and third-base lines. We sat on the third-base side and barely heard anything but screaming girls. But it was still amazing."
12. Among the slew of awards he's received over the years: 1980 Album of the Year, from the Academy of Country Music, for producing "Urban Cowboy."
13. Azoff has his own IMDB page, having appeared in three movies as himself (two involving another famous act he managed, Neil Diamond) and produced 21 others (including 1999's "The Hurricane," 1998's "Jack Frost" and 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High").
14. Here's Cameron Crowe, of "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous" fame, writing about the 5-foot-3 Azoff for Rolling Stone in 1978:
"They call him Big Shorty, the man who rules the careers of the Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, Steely Dan, Jimmy Buffett, JD Souther and Boz Scaggs. Just thirty, he is the enfant terrible of the music business. To get his clients top dollar, he'll rip up a contract, yell, scream, terrorize, stomp, pound and destroy inanimate objects ... gleefully. Many of his clients will spend their off-hours watching him 'kill' on the phone."
15. A short joke from his early Eagles days, as told in a 2009 Wall Street Journal story entitled: "Can He Save Rock 'n' Roll?" — with the "he" being Azoff: "In the early '70s, Mr. Azoff gave the famously mischief-prone guitarist Joe Walsh a chain saw, which became a regular part of the musician's gear on the road.
"Later, during a tour supporting Mr. Walsh's 'The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get' album, one hotel couldn't accommodate the two men's request for connecting rooms. So Mr. Walsh used the chain saw to 'cut a hole in the wall about as tall as the desk,' says Mr. Azoff. 'And he said: I made it just your size.'"
16. At the 2020 Rock Hall ceremony in Cleveland, Azoff will be the co-recipient of the Ahmet Ertegun Award, along with Jon Landau, best known for being Bruce Springsteen's manager and producer.
The honor is bestowed upon "songwriters, producers, disc jockeys, record executives, journalists and other industry professionals who have had a major influence on the development of rock and roll," the Hall says, with previous recipients including Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy and Dick Clark.
17. You may have heard a few of Azoff's 2020 Rock Hall classmates, four of which have played the building formerly known as the Assembly Hall: The Doobie Brothers (multiple shows in the '70s, then again in 2018), Whitney Houston (1987 and '91), Nine Inch Nails (1994 and 2006) and Depeche Mode (1993).
18. The moment Azoff knew he could make it in the music business? "Sold 900 tickets to a teen dance at the VFW hall in Danville!"
19. Upon receiving the Recording Academy President's Merit Award during a "Salute to Industry Icons" on the eve of the 2016 Grammys, Azoff cracked to the crowd: "I like being a manager. ... Now more than ever, a shrewd manager is essential. Someone has to advise you on dry cleaners, restaurants, chartered jets and divorce attorneys."
20. He believes the music world would be a better place without the invention co-created by two fellow former UI students — YouTube — "and all the others that use safe harbor to screw artists," he told us.
As a counter-measure, Azoff in 2013 founded Global Music Rights Management, which manages licensing rights for artists. Its catalog includes the works of Prince (934 songs), John Lennon (204) and Bruno Mars (202).

We can't control the unexpected. If we expected them to happen, we'd be prepared! But aside from emergencies, general expenses can add up quickly too, and sometimes, we don't have the option to wait around for a better financial situation to arise in order to catch up. Oh, and all the while, penalties and late fees are adding up too.
Whatever you're reading for needing a loan without having a lot of time to spare—or you're concerned about being denied by a traditional lender, like a bank or credit union—a Car Title Loan may just be exactly what you're looking for.
And if so, look no further than Quick Cash Funding in Monterey Park. In fact, no matter where you're located in California, there's probably a Quick Cash Funding office within driving distance that can get you the cash you need and fast. Give us a call and find out!
We've spent our over 20 years in this industry building the trust, reputation, professionalism, and out-of-the-box problem solving that makes anywhere else simply second best. From our fast and easy application process to our highly knowledgeable and friendly team who will help you through it all, Quick Cash Funding is where you come for true value at every level. Let's assess your vehicle, get you a quote, and have you driving away with your money in under an hour. Seriously!
When you need money, you might not have a lot of time to find it, and applying for a loan with a bank or credit union can be quite a process. Most traditional lenders will have you filling out a mountain of paperwork, and the process from application to approval can take days – or even weeks, and you still might not get the money you need!
When you choose to get a Car Title Loan with Quick Cash Funding, you won't be adding another worry to your list. Instead, the process couldn't be simpler, and you can be approved in as little as 30 minutes for a loan of $2,600 to $50,000 (dependent on the wholesale value of your car).
Another advantage of choosing a Car Title Loan over borrowing from a bank or credit union is that you only need your car to qualify, no credit inquiries or financial history required. Car Title Loans are accessible and lower risk than many other types of borrowing because you use your car as a guarantee on the money you borrow, so you don't need to worry about high interest rates or other financial risks. When you apply for a Car Title Loan with Quick Cash Funding in Monterey Park, we'll help you work out a payment plan, and once you've paid off the loan, the car title belongs to you again. It's that easy!
Just because you're using your car title as the guarantee for your loan doesn't mean you have to stop using your vehicle. At Quick Cash Funding in Monterey Park, you don't even need to provide a set of keys to be approved for your loan. We understand that you need your vehicle and you'll be able to continue using your car as always, with no limitations, even after you have a Car Title Loan with us. There are no strings attached!
Why Choose Quick Cash Funding for Your Car Title Loan?
When you apply for a loan through a traditional lender like a bank or a credit union, they need to run a credit inquiry and review your financial history before approving your loan. This can be a time-consuming process and add more waiting and uncertainty to your application. More importantly, it keeps loans out of the hands of many who need them, making their financial situation even worse in both the short- and long-term. Even a small discrepancy in your financial history can mean getting a bad loan or stop you from getting offered a loan at all.
At Quick Cash Funding in Monterey Park we don't care about your credit score or your financial history, all you need to be approved is your car title in good standing and proof that you have an active income. We will work with you to find a payment plan and loan amount that suits your budget and needs, and you won't have any payments due for the first 30 days!
Quick Cash Funding makes it easy to apply for your Car Title Loan, offering four different ways to apply. If you're in the Monterey Park area, stop by our office and fill out an application: our knowledgeable staff will be happy to answer any questions and walk you through the process, and they'll process your application when you submit it, working to give you the highest value loan for your car in less than an hour.
You don't have to come into our office to apply though, and you'll still get assistance from our team whether you choose to apply online through our website, over the phone with one of our agents, or via fax to a Quick Cash Funding location. Regardless of the way you choose to apply, you'll get the same prompt and high-quality service.
No matter which method you choose to submit your application to Quick Cash Funding, you can expect the same quick response on your Car Title Loan application. If everything is filled out correctly and there are no additional circumstances—such as a pre-existing loan on your car title—you can be approved in as little as 30 minutes!
If you're dealing with complicated circumstances and aren't sure if you qualify or you're having trouble filling out the application form, get in contact with one of our specialists in store, online, or over the phone. We'll be happy to help you out and get your application processed today, so you can get the money you need an hour later.
If your vehicle is worth at least $3,000, Quick Cash Funding is ready to offer you a loan for anywhere from $2,600 up to $50,000. Depending on the wholesale value of your car and your income level, you might qualify for a larger loan than you'd expect, so please get in contact with one of our team members—be it in person at the Monterey Park location, online, or over the phone—to find out how much your car title can get you in as little as 30 minutes. Don't forget: your credit score and financial history do not matter with Car Title Loans, they won't affect the value of your offer whatsoever!
If you don't have the full value of your car paid off and you need money, don't hesitate to contact the Quick Cash Funding team and find out what we can do for you. We want to work with you and may be able to finish paying off your car so that you can use the title as the guarantee for your loan. Even better, once you pay back your loan, the car title is paid off and yours!
If you have extenuating circumstances or just aren't sure if you'll qualify, we seriously encourage you to reach out anyway. Our team of financial experts love coming up with inventive and valuable new ways to get folks their Car Title Loan – we may even be able to pay off the remaining balance on your car if you don't outright own it in order to get you your money. But you have to give us a call before we can find out!
Car Title Loans offer more flexibility and payment options than traditional loans like you would get from a bank. When you apply for a Car Title Loan with Quick Cash Funding Monterey Park, you'll work alongside a financial expert to find the right loan and repayment plan for your budget and needs. We offer payment plans that extend up to 36 months and you're not expected to make any payments for the first 30 days. But if you do find yourself able to repay your loan ahead of schedule, you can do that too! Quick Cash Funding has no fees or penalties if you want to settle your account up early.
Don't Add to Your Stress. Work with the Best!
When you get a Car Title Loan with Quick Cash Funding, we try to make the experience as stress-free as possible. We put our 20 years of industry experience to work to get you the best loan offers possible without leaving you waiting around or making you fill out a bunch of complicated paperwork. Our process is simple from start to finish with flexible repayment options to suit your needs.
If you need money and have a car valued at more than $5,000, Quick Cash Funding wants to hear from you. You could be just 30 minutes away from getting the money you need!

Q: Is there a Tool to View Disk Usage on a Team Foundation Server DB We have a TFS installation on a machine that is close to going out of support life and we're planning on migrating to a new machine in a couple of months.  However in the meantime we are getting really low on disk space and (for whatever reason) we can't add more disk space.  This has me wondering if there is a tool that would show us how the DB is using the disk space which might help us identify some stuff we could delete/destroy to temporarily give us some more free space.

A: sp_helpdb 'database' will show your mdf and ldf file sizes.  xp_fixeddrives will show free space.  May not be exactly what you are seeking but it is a starting point.

Why is Contributing to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan Still Important?
While the decision to use a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) has been made more complicated over the last ten years by the popularity of the Tax-Free Savings Plan (TFSA), it is still an important savings tool.
The TFSA allows an individual to contribute after-tax dollars into an investment and withdraw funds with no tax implications. You forego income tax savings now in order to not pay taxes later.
There are still many situations where an RRSP is a more appropriate product over a TFSA.
Contributions to an RRSP are tax deductible and will reduce the amount of income tax paid. When an individual is in a high income tax bracket, they will experience greater savings when contributions are made to an RRSP compared to a lower tax bracket. Once you retire, these funds can be converted to regular income payments. Normally, this will be in a lower tax bracket than when the funds were contributed, which will mean less tax paid than what was originally saved.
A spousal RRSP contribution will allow for income tax savings and also more efficient withdrawal of the funds once retirement income commences.
Funds contributed to an RRSP can also be used as a down payment for the purchase of a first home (up to $25,000) or to pay for your or your spouse's education costs (up to $20,000). These amounts will then have to be paid back to the RRSP over time.

The hotel dining room is playing country music.� This is the capital city of Ecuador.� Go figure.
We begin with Old Town Quito.� Designed like old Spanish cities,� important buildings like the presidential palace and cathedral surround the main square.� The palace has stores in its ground floor level, all of them opening to the street.
At the edge of the city, we're at the base of the Pichincha Volcano, an active volcano (I seem to have an attraction to active volcanoes, don't I?). Although it shows no signs of life right now, Pichincha provided a reminder of its potential in 2002 when an explosion of smoke and steam emerged from the peak (this happens when sub-surface waters are heated to an explosive level by the lava below).
We take the cable-car� to the Teleferico--the lookout� point at the top of Cruz Loma.� I walk slowly, gulping for air at a 15,700 foot altitude. I usually see views like this from a plane, so I (once again) marvel at the Earth that stretches out before me, at clouds meeting the ground, at the tiny appearance of the city below. Reminders of how small we are, how tiny a speck in the grand scheme of things.� And how grand that scheme.

National Structures also helped come up with the design of the building that is used in Metro Mattress's free standing construction today.


The Gainses' success has brought a flood of money and tourists into the small city in Central Texas. Yet the restoration of the city that used to be known for the 1993 David Koresh/Branch Davidian standoff hasn't been completely welcomed, especially by those who are being excluded from the New Waco.
A 19-year-old man turned himself in at the McLennan County Jail early Tuesday morning after Bellmead police charged him with sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl multiple times in a span of four months, an arrest affidavit states.

France-Denmark: winning to make life easier, the Blues know the music
The French team has the possibility, by beating Denmark this Saturday (5 p.m.), to qualify now for the round of 16
The France team has given itself two stars on its tunic in its history with at least two hyphens, one of which extends to Qatar.
Both times, there was Didier Deschamps, still there, and in 1998 as in 2018, she had won her first two matches in the competition.
If there is no recipe for becoming world champion, there may be a method and this France-Denmark would have the good idea to follow the instructions.

You can now view my presentation at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
In this presentation, I estimate the size and scope of the book-swap "space", and explain it in terms that book publishers might find relevant.
My apologies for the video being taller than wider, I mistaken forgot to tilt my iPhone 90 degrees before recording my talk.
All this week I'm at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which is the main trade show of the book industry.
I'm giving a presentation on saturday entitled Book Swapping Web Sites: Not The Apocalypse. I came up with the catchy title because I've found many people in the book industry recoil when I explain that I run an online book swap, and I'm hoping to build some bridges while I'm here.
Companies enabling book swapping are growing quickly, on the strength of the social relationship of book reading and recommending, the cost-savings, and offering a more "green" approach to book reading. This phenomena appears massively destructive: why would a consumer click "buy it now" on Amazon when they can click "get it for free" instead? The speaker, who is the CEO of one of these book trading web sites, will present data that while book trading is quite predatory on the second hand, used book market, it appears to stimulate new book sales, as well as to create more readers, moving books and reading into a central position in their lives.
Drop me an email if you're in Frankfurt as well and want to meet.
On sunday, I head to Sweden, first to give a presentation at the Nordic Cultural Commons Conference in Stockholm.
My friend Herkko Hietanen is running the conference, and I'm looking forward to meeting up with CC-Mixter honcho Victor Stone and his artist wife Cindy.
At FSCONS, I'll be able to see Nikolaj Hald Nielsen, who is a fantastic Danish computer programmer who works with me on Magnatune. We correspond daily, but I have only met him once previously, and only for about an hour!
Cameras aren't allowed at the Frankfurt Book Fair, except at public demos, i.e. not trade show booths.
The fair was running an old Linotype machine, and I took some video of it with my iPhone. The video is not that exciting, as the Linotype kept jamming. It's a bit hard to see, but there are things spinning all over the place (it's a Health & Safety disaster). The Linotype is a lot more primitive that I thought it would be: all it does is let drop the type letter for the key you press, and flush that type left against the others. It's faster (I guess) than having all the letters of the alphabet in front of you and building the sentence up by hand, but it's not the modern wonder I thought it would be.

Grove's mission seems to be to bring
the outdoors inside. Even the name evokes a summertime forest, and both the food and the space thrive on the restaurant's Rowley location. Housed in a newly constructed post-and-beam barn whose tall windows let in the views from the natural surroundings, the rustic dining room, painted in shades of taupe and white with a cathedral ceiling, is all about light and air.
Meanwhile, chef Ben Lightbody brings the North Shore straight to the table, working with local food purveyors to highlight everything from local clams to the seasonal soup and putting a creative spin on whatever is fresh. Lightbody grew up in Ipswich, and has developed deep relationships with local farms like Alprilla in Essex and Cedar Rock Garden in Gloucester. He expects to change his creative regional menu with the seasons, with specials popping up as the produce does.
Unexpected tastes and textures abound in the imaginative menu, starting with the Snacks section—ideal to accompany drinks on the restaurant's charming patio or to start a meal. The Tator-Tots may seem like a classic bar snack, but Lightbody elevates them, cooking the shredded potatoes low and slow, confit style, in duck fat before shaping them into cylinders and frying them to order. The outside is crispy, and the inside is creamy. Served with a changing slate of dipping sauces, they are a terrific accompaniment to a cocktail or local beer.
For a unique take on a seasonal starter, try the cauliflower salad. A mix of orange, purple, and white cauliflower and green romanesco, some pieces blanched and some roasted, is served atop a bed of riced cauliflower rice. Topped with Marcona almonds and raisins and dressed with a curry vinaigrette, it is a delightful mix of flavors and textures evoking the Middle East—and it's vegan to boot. This is a hearty salad, but as June moves into July, Lightbody expects to introduce more veggie starters, perhaps combined with seasonal fruit.
For a heartier appetizer, check out the smoked pork belly, which is served with a changing array of accompaniments, but most recently was presented atop a vibrant English pea puree, dressed with carrot slivers and pea shoots. It was as lovely to look at as to taste.
Everything is made in-house, from the brioche buns for the 10-ounce burger (served with pickled jalapenos) to the pastas, which include tagliatelle topped with local clams and angolotti stuffed with lemon ricotta. The menu also boasts a breaded local fish dish that changes to feature whatever the fishermen are bringing in.
The red wine–marinated steak is beautifully tender and flavorful, not to mention a good value at $29. The coulotte cut of steak is similar to a New York strip, but without the fat cap. It's unusual to see on a menu; it is traditionally what's known as a "butcher's cut," so called because the butcher would set tasty bits like this aside for his or her family while selling the higher priced ones. Served in a red wine sauce with charred spring onion, asparagus farro, and morels, it's definitely a crowd-pleaser.
Desserts are also completely prepared in house, and will reflect the same seasonality. A rotating selection of at least three ice creams and sorbets rounds out the sweet offerings—if it's available, the cinnamon ice cream is a terrific accompaniment to the warm chocolate cake. Or indulge in the strawberry cheesecake, served with a side of intensely flavorful strawberry sorbet.

Gaw Capital Partners Successfully Completes Final Close of Gateway Real Estate Fund VI at US$ 2.2 Billion
December 18, 2019, Hong Kong – Real estate private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners announced the final close of its sixth Greater China / Asia Pacific real estate fund, Gateway Real Estate Fund VI, bringing the total equity raised for the fund to its hard cap size of US$2.2 billion – Gaw Capital Partners' largest fund to date.

Following a similar opportunistic investment strategy as its predecessor Gateway funds, Fund VI will target real estate assets with favorable risk-return profiles mainly in Greater China and with selected exposure in Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore, Southeast Asia and Australia. In addition to China's primary gateway cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, Fund VI will also consider operating thematic platforms and pre-IPO real estate companies looking for strategic capital in order to capture specific market trends and address particular needs.
Christina Gaw, Managing Principal and Head of Capital Markets, commented, "We are delighted to be closing Fund VI after a highly successful fundraising round. The commitments we have received are a strong vote of confidence in Gaw Capital's approach to adding strategic value to a diverse range of under-utilized real estate assets throughout the Asia Pacific region and its ability to deliver value for investors. Our increased expansion into thematic platforms such as data centers, healthcare and education-related real estate platforms are very welcomed by our investors. These are followed by our successful execution in other existing thematic portfolios such as retail outlet malls and logistics. The fund serves as an important investment vehicle for investors looking to get exposure to this high-growth region while achieving portfolio diversification."

BoJ and Fed maintain status quo
Essence of the Week
May 02, 2016 | Source: AxisDirect
Global: The Bank of Japan (BoJ) surprised markets globally by maintaining a status quo and indicating that it is in no rush to increase stimulus, defying expectations of further expansion in stimulus. However, by lowering its inflation and growth forecasts and pushing out the date by which it expects to reach its inflation target, we believe that BoJ still remains dovish and still on track to increase stimulus this year. Yen strengthened sharply yet again. However, in the medium term, we expect the Yen to depreciate against the USD.
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained status quo in its policy meeting, broadly in line with expectations, and kept the Fed funds target range unchanged at 0.25%-0.50%. A dovish Fed coupled with a 2 year low US Q12016 GDP print (0.5% QoQ) reduces the probability of a June rate hike. More importantly, if the Fed shies away from a rate hike in June, policy action is likely to get pushed to the fag end of the year, as the Presidential election in USA is an event risk, and the Fed would like to see through the event before embarking on further rate hikes.
Domestic: The joint parliamentary committee on Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code submitted its report, paving the way for clearance of the bill by the parliament. The report has been submitted, reportedly, without any dissenting notes with the government accommodating all the amendments moved by the members of opposition parties. The bill adds to measures initiated by the government to deal with the problem of NPAs of banks. The Sarfaesi (Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest) Act and Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) Act have also been amended to make recovery process more efficient and fast.
In an important pro-financial innovation development, the RBI has put out a consultation paper on peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and proposed to bring such platforms under its purview by defining them as NBFCs. It has not proposed any ceiling on the rate of interest that such NBFCs can charge on commissions. The central bank has also proposed to set a minimum capital requirement of Rs 20 mn for such P2P NBFCs. This comes in the wake of the inauguration of the Unified Payment Interface, a public payments infrastructure platform, which could lead to a huge growth in cashless payments through mobile phones..

Vacuum Tube Turns 100
Vacuum Tube in 100th Year
Same Old Challenges
But what is a cold-cathode multipactor?
(Nuts & Volts, November, 2006)
The engineering challenges of the hot-cathode vacuum tube are the same today as when it was invented back in 1906: cathode heat, demanding power requirements, capacitance …The inventing of new, more compact and efficient vacuum-tube designs proliferated madly up until the 1950's, but the art has been frozen ever since. Before Fleming's diode and DeForest's triode audion, inventors like Crookes, Tesla, and Roentgen had experimented with the magical effects of high voltage in vacuum. They created emissions of intense light and of strange rays, including x-rays.
The "Fleming valve" was an evacuated glass envelope in which a light-bulb-style metallic filament, fed by low voltage and sucking high current, incandesces at 2000° F. This creates an electrical activity (or, in quantum parlance, "electron flow") that conducts unidirectionally through vacuum to another nearby element, a metallic plate charged to a high positive potential. Thus was born a new rectifier, and hence also a radio detector. Later it was discovered that electrical activities within a tube can be leveraged at will by applying small fluctuations to a metallic grid interposed between filament and plate (deForest).
Thus human ingenuity created an amplifier, and hence a modulator, an oscillator, a regulator, and an electronic switch. Also created was a means for huge magnifications by regenerative feedback (Armstrong). Magnetic fields can influence electrical phenomena within a tube, as in the magnetron and the cathode-ray. The vacuum tube became the foundation for almost all of electronics for the next 50 years. Until the mass production of the transistor in the late 1950's, electronics was the vacuum tube.
Post-transistor, the conventional hot-cathode vacuum tube, despite its headaches for any engineer, builder, or user, has hung in there as a common choice for high-power-transmitter finals. You can number this writer among those who revere the 811 and the 807 for this purpose. For the ham or broadcaster's kilowatt rig, the big 4-400A often wins out against the clustering together of power transistors.
The vacuum tube has seen a revival lately among audiophiles, who find in the vacuum tube ineffable qualities of depth, color, and warmth not found in solid state. I built a couple of Heathkit vacuum-tube hi-fi amps back in the 1950's, so I am sympathetic. But today, the audio freaks are making it more difficult for us transmitter freaks to find in the surplus market the old 811-A's, 807's, and 6L6's at cheap prices. Vacuum-tube dealers still carry huge inventories. 807Dealers say that among the most popular are the power tubes mentioned above, as well as the 6V6, 812, 12AX7, 12AU7, 12AT7, 300B, 6DJ8, 6922, and the 7308.
Some vacuum-tube sources: Fair Radio Sales (fairradio.com), The Tube Store (thetubestore.com), Antique Electronics Supply, and R5D3 Surplus, Portland (503) 513-0410).
With a few exceptions, vacuum tubes, are now almost completely out of manufacture in the USA. Dealers often go to Chinese or Russian sources, like Sovtek. The Russian military has a special respect for tube technology and uses it in the electronics of aircraft, tanks, and ships. Why? Because tubes are 10,000 to 50,000 times more resistant than solid state to destruction by an EMP.
The hot-cathode vacuum tube is a challenge to engineers and builders because of its heat (mostly generated by that hot-cathode filament) and because of the filiment's demanding power requirements. Blower-cooling is often necessary to dissipate waste heat. Large currents from heavy iron-core transformers are required to fuel the cathodes of these fragile, glass-enclosed devices. Also high voltages from special power supplies are required to fuel the plates: from 150 to 4000 volts of well filtered DC at a few hundred MA. Power supplies, and the transformers with which to build them, are expensive and hard to find.
De Forest power audion
The 811A requires four amperes and 1200 to 1500 volts on the plate. The handy little 6L6 power pentode takes 900 MA on the cathode heater and 250 to 360 volts on the plate. The 807 also takes 900 MA on the heater and requires 750 volts on the plate. The heaters of the one-kilowatt 4-400A suck a whopping 14 amperes with 4,000 volts on the plate. Its transformers are huge, ponderous, and expensive.
Because of the transistor's moderate power requirements, and because of its compactness, electronics engineers pounced upon the invention as soon as it went into broad manufacture in the late 1950's.
Similarly, in the early '50's, the magnetic amplifier was seriously entertained, and even manufactured, as an alternative to the fragile vacuum tube. The mag amp is superior to tube and transistor in current and voltage capacities, more simple (you can build one yourself), and far more rugged in all respects. See mag amp page.
Internal engineering
Appreciate the engineering challenges within the vacuum tube itself. Cathode temperature and plate potential are the key values in tube designing. The output ("emission") of a hot cathode depends upon filament temperature. So it's desirable to achieve the highest possible temperature. Yet one must engineer the tube so it attains a long life before the delicate filament inevitably burns out, and the tube becomes useless. So this sets limits to temperature.
The higher the plate voltage, the greater the electrical flow, but, at a certain high heat, there is a temperature-limitation barrier beyond which no increase in plate voltage will increase that flow.
Congestion of flow can also arise from an excessive build-up of electrical charge in certain spaces within the tube. This congestion sets a space-charge limitation to any conventional tube's performance. The proximity and shape of tube elements and the size and design of the envelope itself can enhance or mitigate space-charge problems.
Capacitance effects, especially at high frequencies, pose another design challenge. Each pair of tube elements constitutes a small capacitor that can affect amplification and oscillation. The larger the elements, the lower the frequency limit. Efforts to make the vacuum tube more compact created the miniature and "acorn" tubes.
A tube can self-oscillate due to internal capacity effects. Internal capacity is exploited in a positive way in the power-amplifier circuit called tuned-plate tuned-grid.
a cold-cathode tube?
In the 1930's, when some exploratory vacuum-tube engineering was still happening, Philo T. Farnsworth, obtained a series of patents for a cold-cathode vacuum tube.
Patent 2,091,439 (filed 1936).
More Farnsworth multipactor patents: 2,071,516, 2,135,615, 2,141,827, 2,172,152, 2,263,032, 2,174,487, 2,179,996. Found in Vril Compendium 10, Vassalatos, borderlands.com
Farnsworth's over-unity cold-cathode
multipactor tube (1936)
lFarnsworth is known far and wide as the real inventor of television. (The history of radio is rife with rip-off: Tesla by Marconi, Fessenden by deForest, Barreter by deForest, Armstrong by deForest, Farnsworth by Sarnoff.)
A cold-cathode tube? But where does that necessary "cloud of electrons" come from?
Conventional tube theory, and the whole history of the amplifying tube's development, would have you believe that the only way electrical activity can be created in a vacuum is by "thermionic emission" from a hot cathode. However, 19th-century electrical explorers, such as William Crookes and Nikola Tesla, energized high-vacuum tubes and globes with high-voltage oscillating currents, generated by induction coils and Tesla coils, with amazing results, giving not a thought to thermionic emitters.
The same hot-cathode mythology prevails in traditional incandescent and even fluorescent lighting. Tesla's high-frequency lighting was cold-cathode as was his rotaing-brush detector. Tesla's extensive research into vacuum electric-ray phenomena included the x-ray, which, unlike Roentgen, he produced cold-cathode. Tesla reportedly used a set of conventional vacuum tubes in the free-energy device that powered his ledgendary electric Pierce Arrow sedan, but these tubes were run cold-cathode. Apparently, the conventional tube can be run cold-cathode when high frequencies are used. So why is vacuum-tube radio based entirely on the hot-cathode?
Farnsworth's cold-cathode multipactor tubes are high-frequency inventions made for radio oscillating and amplifying in practical transmitters. Their frequency range was 200 khz to 60 Mhz.
Says Farnsworth in his patent, "All that is necessary to set the tube into oscillation, is to energize the anodes, as there will be, in the space between the cathodes, a sufficient number of free electrons which are accelerated toward one or both of the cathodes by the potential of the anode, to strike thereon and cause the initiation of secondary emissions."
The tube is tuned to resonance in a way analogous to a tuned-plate-tuned-grid transmitter. Some of Farnsworth's other patents show the tube set into a magnetic solenoid.
over-unity
Farnsworth says repeatedly in his patents that these devices are "over unity." Regenerative feedback, and resonant reinforcement appear to be involved. That this device works without a hot cathode implies that there is plenty of electric energy that can be set free in a vacuum tube if it is properly stimulated. Free-energy seekers take note.
Perhaps the invention's over-unity potential explains why this novel tube never made it into manufacture, despite the fact that it liberated vacuum-tube engineering from the problems of the old hot-cathode. Did the invention just fall between the cracks like so many others? (It did get a feature story in Radio magazine, October, 1934). Was the multipactor passed over because it was perceived on high as another "disruptive technology?"
I've built a mag amp, but I've never been tempted to construct a vacuum tube from scratch. However, reading these old patents makes me want to go shopping for a vacuum pump.


In recent posts, we have written about the importance and sources of the macro nutrients – protein, fat, and carbohydrates—in dog food. Today we continue our analysis of some of the other key ingredient groups that are common in commercially available dog food, starting with fruits and vegetables.
For years, humans have been encouraged to eat plentiful amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. The reason? Fruits and vegetables are loaded with anti-oxidants and other beneficial components including vitamins, phytonutrients, and fiber. They may help us fight off disease, improve organ health, maintain a healthy weight, and lengthen our lives. The same may be true for dogs.
Dogs are descendants of the carnivore wolf and thus are meat eaters by nature. Their ancestral diet most likely consisted of meat and fish with a small amount of fruits and vegetables that were found in the stomachs of their prey or that were easily accessible when meat sources were limited. Their longstanding relationship with humans has helped them evolve to a more omnivorous lifestyle and with a few exceptions (e.g., grapes, raisins and onions), fruits and vegetables, while not a required part of a healthy dog diet, can still provide similar health benefits to dogs as they do for humans.
Why Include Fruits and Vegetables in Dog Food?
They contain antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and possibly reduce the risk of some cancers. Dr Knapp, a veterinarian oncologist at Prude University found that serving dogs vegetables at least three times a week reduced the risk of bladder cancer by 70%.
They can be an additional source of water (in the canned foods), which can be especially important in the summer months.
Jack eyeing some fruits & vegetables…or is it that bully stick?
In our view, fruits and veggies can offer your dog added nutritional value. Because they are often secondary ingredients in most dog food, we don't recommend choosing your dog food based on the fact that a specific food contains a long list of fruits and vegetables. Instead, consider them "nice to have" ingredients that are preferable to grain and artificial ingredients. To get the most of their numerous benefits, consider supplementing your food and treat regimen with produce purchased at the grocery store. We add fruits and veggies to our dog's meals and use them as treats as well to help keep our dogs slim, trim, and healthy.
What are your dog's favorite fruits or veggies? Which ones won't they eat? Let us know in the comments!
That photo is great – love the bully stick in there! I like fruit and have bananas with my breakfast every day. My sister loves fruits and veggies…whatever Mom gives her. I am not so big on veggies, just carry them around all day and guard them.
Maybe if you carry them around all day, they'll turn into a more yummy treat – right?
All good stuff for Gizmo. Jack will eat most anything I give him. Maggie is a little more discerning.
I know the avocados are supposedly bad, but we have a mini-orchard in our front yard and even though it's fenced off, Jack patrols it everyday and manages to steal at least 1-2 a week. They've never bothered him and he eats around the pit…so I figure what the heck. As a matter of fact, avocados are all over out here and all of our dogs have eaten them with no apparent ill effects.
They are now saying the flesh of the avocado is ok, just not the skin and pit. Thank God because Kirby ate lots of avocado before I knew better! LOL!
My guys eat avocados all the time…we live in avocado country, they are just there in our yard, on the street. No damage to any of our dogs…even when our Sally would eat the pits. Sometimes she'd throw it up which must have hurt, but otherwise, nothing.
Excellent – will be looking for it on your blog!
Like Gizmo, my dogs get leftover cooked veggies from our meals. When cutting up fruit and veggies – especially now that we drink green smoothies every morning – the dogs are waiting next to me for whatever falls on the floor. Which is most mornings, since I'm not awake enough to make sure everything goes into the blender.
Our girl, Patches, like fruits and veggies more than the male, Flash. She especially prefers fresh tomatoes and broccoli. Sometimes she'll even eat tomatoes off the bush in the back yard.
Nothing really goes to waste here. Between the dogs and the chickens, all our fruits and veggies, scraps and all, are accounted for. Now that we drink green smoothies, a lot of what was waste before goes into the drink. We're really liking the new lifestyle.
Excellent – that's got to be so good for your and the rest of the crew! Our guys eat the figs right off the tree – the rest I have to put behind a fence or else that's all they would do all day…we have a lot of fruit trees – apples, plums, peaches, grapefruit and of course avocados.
One of the (many) advantages to having multiple dogs is that if one dog loves a certain food like green beans, they all want it. I can pretty much get them to accept any veggie as a treat if they think another dog will take it if they don't.
Why, yes, I am devious. Why do you ask?
She also loved lettuce and would crunch on it as long as I'd give it to her. Kayo has always loved fruit but initially spit out veggies…until she watched how much Lucky enjoyed them! She really loves celery, especially with a touch of peanut butter.
I fed both Lotus dog food, which had veggies in it; now Kayo eats Stella and Chewys raw food that also has fruit and veggies in it. Occasionally I give her some pumpkin and apple food supplement.
Great post! I read so many saying no veggies or fruits which I think is ridiculous. Now I can refer to the study showing the reduced risk of bladder cancer. One thing is I do cook and finely chop the veggies for easier absorption and when I want to "hide" the veggies Kirby doesn't like.
I had to share this post with my husband because he has been sharing apples with Dakota since we got him! (yes, I know the seeds are poisonous! He doesn't eat too many apples!) Dakota loves them!
This week he ate fresh tomatoes for the first time. He loves carrots and broccoli.
I try to give him fruits and veggies that are safe for him whenever I think about it!
I love giving my guys fruits and veggies! They get sweet potato, broccoli, and carrots cooked and added to their dinner. I use frozen berries as treats, which they love! Emmett and Cooper will eat spinach, kiwi, tomato, anything really! I always share a bit of my lunch with them. Lucas… unless it's mixed in with his dinner, he spits it on the floor!
Funny how different their tastes can be.
I'm sure they aren't deprived…and get plenty of good food…look at how gorgeous they are!
Great tasty tuesday post. jack yr too funny. didn't know about eating veggies cut down on bladder cancer. we actually had two dogs in clinic who probably have bladder cancer. 🙁 i just started feeding my dogs fruits and veggies.
I'm still casting my vote for y'all in the Petties.
As for fruits and vegies…if my Human eats it, I like it. My favorites are melons, especially watermelon which I have everyday when they are in season. I also love to eat the figs that fall off of the fig tree here in at my low country home and the blackberries and raspberries that grow wild at my mountain home. I eat them right off of the bushes. Apples and pears are plentiful and I always try to devour them before my Human catches me and stops me. I tend to overeat them.
I get home baked treats that are baby carrots and potatoes. My Human bakes them so they keep and she can carry them to reward me for a job well done!
Thanks for the votes Hawk, we appreciate it. What a Greta fruit salad you've got going! Lucky you.
I agree that dogs likely get some value from eating fruits and veggies. I don't buy a food based on what kind or how many are in there but I do like to see some on there. Gretel loves apples, carrots and bananas for snacks too!
I think those are Jacks favorites too.
We play a fun blooberry catching game ebery mornin while my mum makes der green drinks. And she'll drop da occasional spinach leaf or celery stick or carrot. Carrots be my speshul treat!
We play that game too!
Kobi LOVES fruits and veggies. The only ones he's turned down are celery and raw green beans. His favorites are bananas, blueberries, and carrots. The girls aren't so thrilled, I've gotten them to eat cantaloupe but they just kind of grudgingly take it and then look at me as if to ask if that's all I have to offer! But if I mix fruit with yogurt, they love it.
Too funny, the discerning tastes. Our Sally used to LOVE mangos!
mkob recently posted…Dear Labby: Eye color?
I love carrots and sweet peppers, cantaloupe, apples, bananas, and watermelons. My black lab brother Jake would go crazy for apples – I think he liked them more than meat! Jake also used to steal cherry tomatoes right off the tomato plant in our yard! Mom and dad couldn't figure out where the tomatoes kept going, but one day they saw Jake sniff all the tomatoes to see which one was ripe, and pluck the ripe one off the vine like he had done it many times before! And when mom was little, they had a yellow lab who would go into the garden, tear down a stalk of corn, and take it into the yard and chew on the ear of corn!
Garth – us Labs are all alike. Our Sally would eat stuff off the tree too – peaches, apples, figs and of course avocados.


I would first like to credit TrendMicro with their initial research on FighterPOS. There have been an emegerence of new domains for FighterPOS recently and I discovered a whole load of other possible domains that could be used for the command and control. This particular peice of malware uses a open source VB6 peice of malware called 'vnLoader'. The author of FighterPOS has either got himself or asked someone else to create a modified version to use as POS malware.

I decided I would not do an extensive penetration test on each script, simply see how fast I can find a vulnerability from each script. I didn't take any longer than half an hour on any script I chose to look at. In total I found 17 vulnerabilities, without any use of scanners or any automated tools, this was simply me and the browser.


Welcome back, hope everyone has enjoyed the extended weekend we had over here in the UK.
For today's look me and Carly decided to take full advantage of the picturesque coastline on our doorstep. I'm wearing denim shorts by Levi, boots by ASOS, black jumper also by ASOS and baseball cap stolen from my son's bedroom. Summer is fast approaching looking forward to getting the pins out more often.
