Headquartered in Glossop, Derbyshire, CEL Limited provides a diverse portfolio of management services to public sector organisations such as social housing providers, local and national government bodies and the student travel and education sector. The business underwent a management buyout last year, headed by current chief executive Paul Kennedy. Here Paul describes how he collected and analysed information about the business before making the decision to purchase.
What I did
Initiate discussions
"After many years spent working in large blue-chip organisations, I was ready for a change of direction and ultimately wanted to own my own business. I was approached by a head-hunter about CEL, whose owners were considering a sale.
"The owners had considered a trade sale and had also researched selling to venture capital companies, but had decided on a management buyout as the best way to preserve what they had built up and to safeguard employees. They were therefore looking for a chief executive who would subsequently buy out the business.
"After extensive discussions with the vendors, I was appointed chief executive with a firm commitment to undertake a management buyout in the near future."
Appoint advisors
"I was in a privileged position as chief executive to find out more about the company from the inside during the few months preceding the actual sale, but I still needed to gather detailed information on a more formal basis.
"I appointed a financial director who also became my partner in the buyout. I also researched and appointed experienced professional advisors to handle the purchase, including a legal firm who I had worked with previously and an accountancy firm.
"In addition, I did my own research into the business and sought general advice from banks, private equity firms and trusted business associates.
"It's not uncommon for professional advisors on opposite sides of a deal to become adversarial to the point of hampering a successful outcome. One thing we found useful was to arrange an initial meeting with ourselves, the vendors and the appointed advisors for both parties. This helped to ensure that the legal and financial teams on both sides were working towards a common goal."
Assess the information
"The more information you have, the better prepared you are, particularly when it comes to agreeing on a price. Things we took into account included establishing legal ownership of key assets, checking software licences, checking employment contracts and examining the company's balance sheet and customer contracts.
"Remember that whoever is funding your purchase, such as a bank or private investor, will take a keen interest in any information you obtain. They need to be confident that you've minimised financial risk and got the legal issues covered. For example, in our case, there was an issue with the company's final salary pension scheme. We were concerned about the financial risks associated with the scheme going forward, so we employed specialist lawyers and an actuary who clearly explained these risks and the options open to us when it came to managing them.
"Overall, our appointed advisors gave us invaluable professional opinions on the documentation received and were also able to do a lot of the legwork, such as reading through individual employment contracts. But ultimately it was up to me and my business partner to assess the information and make a judgement before making a formal offer to buy the business."
What I'd do differently
Get the vendors to agree a fee cap
"As buyers, we agreed a fee cap with our own professional advisers upfront so that costs could be controlled. In retrospect, I wish we'd encouraged the vendors to do the same with theirs. The process was held up at various points simply because the vendors' advisers had no financial incentive to get a move on - in fact, quite the opposite!"
Paul Kennedy
Inprova Group
Paul's top tips:
"Get the right professional advisers on board from the outset."
"Obtain information from as many sources as you can, including customers and industry contacts."
"Whatever timescale you've set yourself, double it to be on the safe side."

JERRY'S GIRLS: THE JERRY HERMAN REVUE To Run At J's Wool Studio Theatre Through December 18
From Mame to Milk and Honey, Hello Dolly! To La Cage Aux Folles, Jerry's Girls lovingly revisits the shows and their music.
The New Jewish Theatre continues its season with Jerry's Girls, a Jerry Herman musical revue from December 1 - December 18.
The musical brings together composer/lyricist Jerry Herman's "greatest hits" - from his many smash productions to some of his lesser well-known musicals. From Mame to Milk and Honey, Hello Dolly! To La Cage Aux Folles, Jerry's Girls lovingly revisits the shows and their music.
New Jewish Theatre's production features an ensemble cast of five local female performers: Kelsey Bearman, Molly Burris, Christina Rios, Greta Rosenstock and Lisa Rosenstock. Burris is returning to New Jewish Theatre after appearing earlier this season in Dear Jack, Dear Louise. The rest of the cast will be performing at New Jewish Theatre for the first time.
The show is directed and choreographed by Ellen Isom. The rest of the creative team is made up of Cameron Tesson (Scenic), David LaRose (Lighting), Amanda Werre (Sound) and Michele Siler (Costumes).
Isom sees Jerry's Girls as not just a celebration of Jerry Herman's music but of all women. "With this production, we are honoring all women-their strength, their fragility, and their perseverance through the embodiment of Herman's great female characters," Isom said.
"Herman had an amazing ability to capture a person's soul through song. Who dares not to be moved and reflect on their own life when Dolly declares she's 'gotta get in step while there's still time left,' in 'Before the Parade Passes By'?" said New Jewish Theatre Artistic Director Rebekah Scallet. "Writing music and lyrics together, Herman created magical moments that have stood the test of time."
Don't miss Jerry's Girls at the J's Wool Studio Theatre (2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, MO 63146). Performances are Thursdays at 7:30 pm, Saturdays at 4 and 8 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm. Individual tickets $49-$54. Tickets are available by phone at 314-442-3283 or online at newjewishtheatre.org.

As you may have heard, the New York Times reported yesterday that Joe Ricketts, the founder and owner of TD Ameritrade and the news site DNAinfo, was considering launching a $10 million attack ad campaign on President Obama, playing up his ties with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and introducing the "Ricketts Plan to End His Spending for Good." While Ricketts has long been a staunch conservative and anti-government-spending zealot, this was considered a glimpse into his plans to become a more major player in the new Super PAC world of rich-guy-sponsored campaign ads.
And why on earth are we talking about that here? Because Ricketts is also part of the same Ricketts family that owns the Chicago Cubs (his son Tom is team CEO) — the same Cubs that are asking the city of Chicago for as much as $300 milllion in subsidies for renovating Wrigley Field. And the same city of Chicago whose mayor is Rahm Emanuel. The same Rahm Emanuel who used to be chief of staff for Barack Obama, and who is possibly best known for once mailing a dead fish to a pollster who had displeased him.
The Ricketts family, meanwhile, has gone into full damage-control mode, with Joe insisting that he never actually intended to run the ads, and \Tom adding that "I repudiate any return to racially divisive issues in this year's presidential campaign or in any setting — like my father has." Forbes, meanwhile, notes that Tom's sister Laura (another Cubs co-owner) is a major Obama fundraiser.
City Hall sources said they still expect a Wrigley deal to get done because it's a job creator and because Emanuel is all about "putting points on the board," as the mayor likes to put it. The controversy could slow down the team's accelerated construction timetable and empower the mayor to drive a harder bargain, however.
Also, Joe Ricketts might want to watch his mailbox for any packages that are long and stinky.
Well, this is Chicago…and as mad as Rahm may be now, and despite what the public feels about subsidizing a Wrigley renovation, a deal will get done, Rickett's will get their money from the city/state, and Rahm will once again have a press conference touting all the jobs that the renovation will create.
Forget it Neil, it's Chicago.
Hey, if it causes the Cubs some trouble, I'm all for it.
Wait. What section did that run in?
Rahm the job creator has cut more than 2,000 city jobs while he's been in the mayor's office. Mostly from departments "delivering front-line services to taxpaying residents" according to Mick Dumke of the Chicago Reader.
Rahm's got $300 million burnin a hole for Ricketts though.
Maybe father Joe isn't involved with the son's baseball team, but I haven't read anything where he explicitly requests his son to stop asking for public handouts for his baseball park.
I wish a journalist would ask him about that, being that the name of his super-PAC is "Ending Spending".
Rickett's SuperPac donations are illegal. TD Ameritrade is about 40% owned by TD, the Toronto Dominion Bank, which is based in the TD Tower in the financial district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Foreign contributions are illegal. The SCOTUS did nothing to change that. RICKETTÔøΩS SUPERPAC DONATIONS ARE ILLEGAL AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY THE AUTHORITIES.
Did the Justices of the Supreme Court(supposedly of the United States of America) consider the funding of campaigns by foreign governments and foreign companies when they ruled on Citizens United? I remember President Obama mentioning the threat of foreign interests in our elections in his State of the Union address.
If Rickett's spent his own money and not TD Ameritrade's, which appears to be the case here, then it would be legal, regardless if Rickett's wealth was generated by an investment in a foreign firm.


Unlike past years, when losing records placed the Raiders high in the draft order, they are picking 24th in this year's first round following a 12-5 record that includes a playoff loss to Houston, the team's first postseason berth in 14 years. McKenzie acknowledged that adds an element of unknown to the process, but repeated the Raiders will fall back on the order of players on their draft board.
The question is how high the Raiders will go to select one. McKenzie has not drafted a linebacker higher than the fifth round in the past two years. But he could select a player Thursday who could start right away.
A few mock drafts have the Raiders using the 24th overall pick on Florida's Jarrad Davis. Haason Reddick from Temple and Zach Cunningham from Vanderbilt are also potential first-rounders. If he falls to them, the Raiders could consider Reuben Foster of Alabama, a top-10 talent who generated some concerns with a diluted drug test sample and an altercation with a medical worker at the scouting combine.
Cornerback – The Raiders have an opening at slot corner following the departure of D.J. Hayden. They have two starting corners who both struggled at times last year. They could address both issues by taking a corner who could start in nickel packages as a rookie and perhaps eventually replace either Sean Smith or David Amerson.
The Raiders reportedly visited with Washington's Kevin King, who had 44 tackles and 13 pass break-ups his senior season. Adoree Jackson from USC, last season's Thorpe Award winner, can also return kicks. In a recent mock draft, Kiper had Oakland using its first pick on LSU's Tre'Davious White.
As examples, Kiper named Nate Hairston out of Temple, Cornelius Elder of Miami or Shaquill Griffin from Central Florida. Damontae Kazee of San Diego State was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and a projected fourth-rounder.
Defensive tackle – Following their AFC wild-card loss to Houston in January, Del Rio said one of the areas the Raiders must improve is generating a better interior pass rush. They ranked last in the league with 25 sacks – and 18 of those belonged to linebackers Mack and Bruce Irvin.
Stacy McGee, who had 2 1/2 sacks at defensive tackle, is gone. The Raiders hope to have Mario Edwards Jr. for a full season, but he has had trouble staying healthy. Michigan State's Malik McDowell, who played inside and outside in college, could be a fit if the Raiders snag him early. In the middle rounds, former Placer High standout Eddie Vanderdoes of UCLA is coming off a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.
The offense – McKenzie joked in his press conference: "Don't be surprised if I draft all offensive players." That won't happen. But McKenzie could use a pick or two for another weapon on offense or, looking ahead, an offensive tackle to ensure future protection for Carr. Arguably the Raiders' only real need on offense, a power running back, was resolved Wednesday by the team reaching a deal with Seattle for Marshawn Lynch.

In Two Incidents 575 Miles Away From Each Other, Homeowners Wrestle Gun From Intruders At Nearly The Same Time
Posted by Brandon on 07/28/2015
STEELTON, PENNSYLVANIA & GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA — If the title of this article is confusing to you, don't let it be. In a pair of incidents that happened Monday morning, they were eerily similar yet half the east coast away from each other.
Incident #1
The first incident happened in the early morning hours in Steelton, PA. The residents of the home, a 25-year-old male and 38-year-old female, were arriving home when two suspects approached them at gunpoint. The armed men zip-tied the residents and forced them into the home.
At some point, the male resident was able to free his hands from the ties and wrestled the gun away from one of the intruders. During the scuffle, the male resident was shot twice but was able to return fire with one of the intruder's guns. Those bullets killed one intruder and sent the other one out the door.
The male resident is said to have non-life threatening injuries, and the female resident was not injured.
The second incident happened in Greenville, SC, nearly 600 miles away from the first; both having very similar outcomes.
In this incident, a man called police after three armed men broke into his home. The man said he was able to wrestle a gun away from one of the intruders and then opened fire. One of the intruders was injured by the gunfire.
The homeowner gave a description of their vehicle, as well as the men themselves. Police quickly spotted the vehicle and found three occupants, one of which suffered a gunshot wound.
Give this homeowner credit for a) fighting back and gaining access to the bad guy's gun and b) having the composure to provide police with a detailed description after being subject to such a horrific ordeal.
Both of the men in these stories are beasts, and did what they had to do to defend themselves. My piece of advice though: next time, arm yourself so that you'll have the upper hand right out of the gate.

What elite hackers do upon seeing an iMac in their fancy hotel rooms
Michael B Kelley
When you're staying in the same fancy hotel as some of the best offensive hackers in the world, watch the desktop computer before it watches you.
The Fountainebleau hotel in Miami Beach hosted the deeply technical and offensive-minded Infiltrate conference April 15-17, and each room offered an iMac.
The 280 attendees � including cybercontractors working for governments and penetration testers in private industry � were wary of using the hotel's Wi-Fi so as to not be hacked by other attendees, and the iMac presented an almost comical risk.
No one Business Insider spoke with at Infiltrate said they were willing to use the computer for anything remotely important, such as email, and a few made sure that the unused iMac couldn't be commandeered.
Here's what at least one attendee, an ethical hacker and security researcher, did as soon as he saw the iMac in his room:
Notice the webcam Turn the computer around Unplug the computer Throw a towel over the monitor, for good measure
When asked about this preemptive move, other attendees either said that it was a good idea, if a little paranoid, or said they had done it themselves.
"Oh yeah," one attendee said when asked if the iMac's systems � including its webcam � was vulnerable.
Others concurred even if they hadn't done the same. One scoffed at the fact that the computer ran an outdated operating system (which makes it more vulnerable to infiltration).
"I'm glad I'm not the only one," another attendee said when told about the process.

Famous for the incredible natural colors of its geological strata, the Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca is a must-see for anyone seeking to discover Peru's best natural highlights.
What do travelers find at Vinicunca Mountain?
Peru's Rainbow Mountain is a magnificent natural attraction that has awed and captured travelers' imaginations for centuries.
Located about 140 km southeast of the city of Cusco and rising 16,000 feet into Andean skies, this mountain range formed around 20 million years ago.
The Vinicunca was shaped by thick multihued bands of mineral deposits, which through the ages have colored and compacted the sandstone rock strata. This gives the ground a horizontal rainbow pattern, an extraordinary geological formation that is unique in the world.
What is the Vinicunca weather like?
As you prepare to visit the Andes you should keep in mind the golden rule that the drier, cooler months are usually the best for travel in the mountains.
During June to September, while the coast and jungle are in mid-winter, the Ausangate region and the Vinicunca enjoy sunny dry weather, which makes it the best time for experiencing the amazing landscapes of the Andes.
How does one get to Vinicunca Mountain?
Given than tourism has increased in the area, there are many tour operators from the city of Cusco that visit the Vinicunca.
We must caution you- such conventional tours are often too short and overcrowded. Visiting the mountain with a large group can impair or lessen what really should be an unforgettable experience.
Why travel to the Vinicunca with us?
At Andean Lodges, when we began to visit the Vinicunca about 15 years ago, it was one of the highlights of our treks. However, we didn't want to focus only on this fragile area, so we extended our adventure treks all around majestic Ausangate mountain.
That's why we trek to Vinicunca Mountain as part of a two-day or longer trip, thus producing fewer negative impacts on the environment and the local communities, while offering a more complete in-depth trekking experience for our travelers.
Most of our treks go through the Vinicunca, and we go there early in the morning to avoid the most crowded hours. That way, our travelers can enjoy the beauty and solitude of the mountain with less distractions, in its most tranquil and natural state.
Book a tour with us today to enjoy the best possible trekking experience in the Andes Mountains!

Revealing structure: X-ray crystallography
Amy Thompson revisits the technique that science has overlooked
X-ray crystallography is a fundamental method used to study atoms that make up a solid object. As the name suggests it involves the used of X-ray beams, which are fired at the solid that has been made into a crystal form. Information is received from the X-ray beams as they bounce off the crystal; this is recorded as a series of dots. These dots reveal the organisation of the atoms within the solid structure allowing scientists to see how a structure is arranged. It is a complex procedure based on highly intricate, yet fundamental mathematics that enable the prediction of a solid structure to be mapped out.
X-ray crystallography is a technique that is not given enough praise; it has been vitally important in the fields of biology and chemistry and has aided many landmark discoveries. In total, 48 Nobel Prizes have involved the use of X-ray crystallography, without the procedure the prize recipients would not have been able to produce the data needed to demonstrate their findings.
One of the most important scientific discoveries was detecting the structure of DNA. The use of X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins in the 1950s have researchers the first glimpse into the possible structure of DNA> this work is what later inspired Watson and Crick ino their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.
X-ray crystallography was a procedure founded and developed by the Braggs, a father and son team, and it over a century old. Despite founding X-ray crystallography, the Braggs are widely unspoken of within the scientific community.
Dorothy Hodgkin was a pioneer in X-ray crystallography. However, like the Bragg, very little is known about her work, but without her discoveries numerous scientists would never have taken the technique seriously. Hodgkin was able to develop the technique further than the Braggs, enabling greater detail of protein structures to be show by the X-ray beams. This allowed her to study the structures of some of the largest proteins during the 1950s. Hodgkin was able to identify the structures of penicillin, vitamin B12 and later insulin. Hodgkin won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964, for her discovery of the structure of vitamin B12.
The most important achievement of Hodgkin and her team was analysing the arrangement of insulin. This knowledge allowed for synthetic insulin to be developed, which is still used for current treatment for type I diabetes sufferers.
Unlike many other scientists such as Darwin, Hawking, Curie or Franklin, many households will have never heard of Dorothy Hodgkin, despite her scientific discoveries being essential in the development of insulin and in the progression of biological research.
Many scientists are "unsung heroes," who have helped the world but have not gained fame or fortune from their discoveries. Many scientists today are like Dr Dorothy Hodgkin, they do their work in order to gain a greater understanding of the world. Hodgkin could not have imagined that her discoveries would benefit so many, which is why scientists like Hodgkin should be celebrated, not only for their discoveries, but also for their selflessness in the pursuit of scientific advancement.
The procedures involved in X-ray crystallography are fascinating, but it is an unfamiliar scientific tool of which many science students will not have heard. It is a process that allows scientists to discover new protein structures and it is used to learn more about the structures that both surround us and make is. Specific data banks, like the PDB (Protein Data Bank) are now available to all with one internet search.
The importance of X-ray crystallography was summarized best by Nobel Prize winner Max Perutz; he stated that X-ray crystallography shows "why blood is red and grass is green, why diamond is hard and wax is soft, why graphite writes on paper and silk is strong."

As in the past, anyone who builds a country house today will want the first sight of it to impress, but they will also have requirements suited to 21st-century life. ADAM Architecture has an international reputation for its diverse portfolio, and its country houses are among the practice's most admired works. The Country House Ideal explores the way in which ADAM Architecture uses historical precedents, including construction techniques, materials and layout, to give expression to thoroughly modern homes. While the practice is famed for classical design, the houses featured here are far from pastiche, and could have been built at no other time than our own. Architectural historian Jeremy Musson first sets the modern country house in its rich historical context, then presents a series of magnificent new houses, arranged into chapters reflecting a variety of traditional styles: Anglo-Classical, Rural Romantics, Palladian and Neoclassical. This lavishly illustrated book reveals how, in an ADAM Architecture design, such considerations as energy conservation, technology and sustainability receive meticulous attention – all in pursuit of the country house ideal.
Jeremy Musson is an architectural historian, writer and broadcaster. Formerly Architectural Editor of Country Life magazine, he is the author of English Ruins (with Paul Barker; Merrell, 2011) and several books on English country houses, including English Country House Interiors (2011).
Critic Jeremy Musson examines [ADAM Architecture's] work with aplomb.
A handsomely illustrated volume … What the houses have in common is their careful attention to detail and proportion, their response to the specific needs of each client and their excellent craftsmanship.
An enthralling testimony to the revival of a golden strand of British architecture … Thanks to consistently superb photography by Paul Barker, the book triumphantly succeeds in its main purpose: to demonstrate that you can commission a delightfully handsome or pretty new house, which is finely built of traditional materials … but also makes the most of modern comforts and technology … highly readable text.
The pursuit of classical perfection is the focus of architectural historian Jeremy Musson's new book.
This magnificent book's stunning illustrations reveal some of the exquisite architecture of this civilised practice [ADAM Architecture] in all its well-made beauty.

Think tech tilted the 2016 election? Just wait for 2020
By Brad Jones	 November 12, 2016
For better or for worse, the 2016 United States presidential election is behind us. We have the better part of four years until the circus whirs to life once again.
Four years is a long time in terms of technology. Four years ago, Snapchat could only share still images. The Oculus Rift Kickstarter campaign was just wrapping up. The iPhone was still available with only a 4-inch display.
When the next election rolls around, the tech we use daily will once again change significantly. While we don't know exactly how that'll play out, we can guess based on trends that just rising in the 2016 campaign. And it appears that online persuasion will become even more important, perhaps dominating all other venues.
Power of Persuasion
American politics and new technology have a long relationship. From the first televised campaign ads back in 1952, to Barack Obama's unprecedented use of social media in 2008, campaign managers are always on the lookout for new ways to reach voters.
Social media was once again a key part of the 2016 campaign cycle. Facebook's streaming figures for the first presidential debate dwarfed the online broadcasts offered by the likes of CBS and CNN, and Donald Trump's Twitter presence was a frequent cause of controversy – and news.
"The diffusion of computers has led to new uses for interactive technology; including the use of computers to change people's attitudes and behavior."
Yet while the technology behind those examples is new, the way they're used isn't. Often, candidates are simply looking for a bigger platform from which they can state their claim on the presidency. But computers, smartphones, and the various other devices that litter our homes and pockets offer more than just a platform. Unlike a television broadcast, or a printed newspaper, they can be used to interact with individuals directly.
"The diffusion of computers has led to new uses for interactive technology, including the use of computers to change people's attitudes and behavior—in a word: persuasion," reads a chapter in The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook entitled 'Motivating, Influencing, and Persuading Users.'
The text, written by persuasive technology experts B.J. Fogg, Gregory Cuellar, and David Danielson, goes on to illustrate how persuasion permeates software design. Great software is often described as "intuitive," but sometimes it's just as accurate to describe it as "persuasive." Often, an app must persuade the user to take certain actions to enable whatever task the app is supposed to carry out.
Think of an installer wizard. Its purpose is to install the software in question, so its primary goal is to persuade the user to complete every step of the procedure. The very idea of a wizard is to persuade someone that installing the program is going to be quick and easy, and elements like a progress bar can be implemented to grease the wheels ever further. Similarly, the standard Amazon product page is designed with the intent of converting a viewer's interest to a sale—persuading them to buy the product.
Social media is a hotbed for this kind of design. When you log in to Facebook, you're encouraged to add a phone number to your account to protect your security. The site's standard UI asks visitors, "what's on your mind?" at the very top of the page, coaxing them to be an active participant. Even adding a new friend on the platform results in a call to "send a message to say hello."
Don't Forget to Vote
If you've visited sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit over the past few days, you may have been confronted with a reminder to go out and vote on November 8.
These messages are an example of the way technology can be used to persuade. Tactics like pop-ups and eye-catching changes to a common user interface demonstrate the ways sites and services can influence their user base.
Over the past few weeks, households across America have been inundated by phone calls and personal visits by supporters from both parties, hoping to secure a few more votes. The practice of canvasing is hugely important to any successful campaign. But could a chatbot be the perfect canvasser?
In 2020, this kind of campaigning might be delegated to artificial minds. You might be watching television one evening, when a Facebook message or an SMS reaches your phone asking who you're planning to vote for.
There was a time when chatbots were a curiosity, used to fool friends into thinking that they were speaking to a real human, more than anything else. However, the process to implement them for less frivolous purposes is already well underway.
Financial institutions like Bank of America and MasterCard are already fielding chatbots to interact with members of the public. They're only being used to handle simple queries for now, but the end goal is to turn them into "full-service automated financial assistants," according to a report from the New York Times. Facebook and Microsoft both launched high-profile bot platforms earlier this year.
Over the next few years, expect to see all kinds of organizations attempt to persuade users to speak with chatbots about subjects that would previously have been handled by a human. That includes important but routine matters, like making online payments, and diagnosing medical conditions.
A chatbot could have access to everything that both candidates have said over the course of their campaign.
And the technology could also be fruitful in the context of a presidential campaign.
A chatbot could have access to everything that both candidates have said over the course of their campaign — or indeed, decades earlier. It wouldn't be subject to emotions as a human canvasser would, so there's no chance of the situation turning ugly. It might even be able to use information collected about its target to inform its approach.
Campaigns are already profiling voters to target groups of the electorate without breaking the bank. A company called Deep Root Analytics used consumer information purchased from the likes of television ratings specialist Nielsen and credit score service Experian to inform ad placements ahead of the 2016 election, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. "These are calculations we just couldn't do before," observed Alex Lundry, one of the company's co-founders, speaking to the publication.
A chatbot canvasser could either put the focus of campaigning back on the facts, or make the tug-of-war for voters even more competitive and unpleasant. It all depends on who is wielding the tech, and what their intentions are.
Whether it's Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit, many social media users have found their chosen window to the world made a more unpleasant place thanks to presidential tension.
Facts don't seem to count for much when you're slinging mud in the comments section. However, at least conflict has two sides — the echo chambers intended only to praise one candidate and bemoan the other were scary places to be ahead of election day.
Hundreds of thousands of Reddit users coagulated on subreddits designed to foster support for a candidate. The sixth rule of a subreddit called The_Donald states "no dissenters," making it clear that the space is a platform for one viewpoint, rather than a space for discussion and debate. The five steps detailed in a guide to "assimilation," posted the day after Bernie Sanders fell behind in the primaries, crystallize that intent.
A persuasive computer program used carelessly could exacerbate these problems. The best-case scenario is a campaign where voters are educated about the realities of each candidate's platform. The worst-case scenario is unsavory campaign managers being given a tool that can profile voters, prey on prejudice, and transform a political process into a shouting match.
In 2020, candidates will have access to bot platforms far more mature than those we have today and, likely, access to a wider variety of them. They might be willing to take a chance on a canvassing chatbot, or another form of persuasive computing — and we should be wary of that precedent when it comes.

What do SGI members do?
SGI members integrate Buddhist practice into the daily rhythm of their lives. They aim to develop and strengthen their lives through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and by studying the teachings of Buddhism. The basic morning and evening practice, known as gongyo, consists of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and reciting portions of the Lotus Sutra. This is usually carried out at home but can also be done together with others. The aim of this practice is to develop one's Buddha nature--the qualities of courage, wisdom and compassion--thereby tapping the energy needed to tackle one's challenges, transform one's life and contribute to the happiness of others. In countries where there is an SGI organization, members and guests meet to share experiences of their practice and study together at regular monthly discussion meetings. Practice naturally leads to a sense of empowerment and responsibility, and SGI members aim to positively impact the communities in which they live.
What Buddhist tradition is SGI part of?
SGI members embrace Nichiren Buddhism, following a Lotus Sutra-based practice formulated by the 13th-century Japanese priest Nichiren. The Lotus Sutra is considered by many in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition to be the fullest expression of the teachings of Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha who was born in present-day Nepal some 2,500 years ago. The Lotus Sutra is revered for its embracing message that all people possess the Buddha nature, both men and women. The image of the pure lotus flower growing in a muddy pond symbolizes how people can develop this enlightened state of life in the midst of their daily problems and struggles. Nichiren studied all available Buddhist texts and investigated the many competing schools of Buddhism of his day before concluding that the Lotus Sutra epitomized the true compassionate intent of Shakyamuni. Today, SGI members study the letters and treatises of Nichiren and his analysis of the Lotus Sutra, as well as the Lotus Sutra itself and commentaries by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda.
Do SGI members have to follow rules?
There are no set rules that regulate the lives of SGI members, but they are encouraged to live constructive and contributive lives and to respect the laws and norms of the societies and cultures in which they live. Based on conviction in the dignity and inherent worth of all human beings, as taught in the Lotus Sutra, individuals are trusted to develop the ability to see the true nature of their thoughts, words and actions, and the wisdom to make the right choices for their lives. Practicing Buddhism naturally leads one to refrain from denigrating and destroying life and to wish to support and encourage others. The SGI Charter lays out the broad goals of the organization and its vision of contributing to a peaceful, just and sustainable world based on the principles of Nichiren Buddhism.
What are the benefits of practicing Buddhism with other people?
The practice of Buddhism focuses not just on benefiting and developing oneself, but on the needs of others as well. Through exchange, dialogue and contact, people at any stage of their practice can learn more than they can by practicing in isolation. Newcomers are always encouraged to raise questions. Buddhist practice is not easy, requiring self-discipline, and seeing one's own life clearly can be tough--this is why support from others is important as people strive to bring out their highest potential. Through the extensive network of the SGI organization, people can receive encouragement, build links of friendship and support, and offer support to others. As a group dedicated to achieving a positive change in the world, SGI is also able to have more impact than individuals acting alone, for instance through awareness raising exhibitions or community-based projects.
How does SGI contribute to society?
In the broadest sense, SGI actively promotes peace, culture and education based on a belief in positive human potential and respect for the dignity of life. There are three main levels on which SGI contributes to society. Most significant are the efforts of millions of individual SGI members in their own families, societies and workplaces, where they aim to promote high ideals, help resolve conflict and support the development of capable people. In addition, local SGI groups in individual countries undertake projects such as environmental clean-ups, displays and discussions about nonviolence or a culture of peace and cultural exchanges. At the international level, SGI is a firm supporter of the United Nations, with liaison offices in New York, Geneva and Vienna. It is active in public education with a focus on peace and disarmament, human rights and sustainable development, as well as providing humanitarian assistance in response to natural disasters and participating in interfaith activities. SGI is also engaged in various NGO networks and partnerships at the local, national and international level.
What do Buddhists believe in? What is "enlightenment"?
Nichiren, a 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest, formulated the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a practice through which anyone can bring their life into harmony with the dharma or the greater life of the universe, thereby experiencing greater wisdom, courage, life force and compassion. Enlightenment conjures the image of people practicing austerities in the quest for extraordinary powers beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Nichiren taught that enlightenment is the fusion of our subjective wisdom with objective reality--a full understanding of the realities of this world. Enlightenment is not a fixed point we someday finally reach. Enlightenment means constant, daily challenge and the renewal of our determination to grow and positively impact the lives of those around us.
How do SGI Buddhists view desires?
Desires are integral to who we are and who we seek to become. Were we to completely rid ourselves of desire, we would undermine our individual and collective will to live. The teachings of Nichiren stress the transformation, rather than the elimination, of desire. Desires and attachments are seen as fueling the quest for enlightenment. For people living in the midst of ever-changing, stressful realities, those challenges are an effective spur to committed Buddhist practice. Through continuing in Buddhist practice, one's life naturally develops and desires transform from those that only benefit oneself, and which will only bring transient happiness, to desires that benefit both oneself and others and even the world at large.
Why does SGI describe itself as a lay Buddhist organization?
SGI does not have priests and temples, but rather lay leaders and community centers. Daily practice is carried out at home and discussion meetings are usually held on a local level in people's houses. SGI members live and work in society and integrate their practice into the daily routine of their lives. Soka Gakkai and SGI were previously affiliated with the Nichiren Shoshu (orthodox) school but now feel that Nichiren's intention of enabling all people to reveal their Buddha nature is best served through a community-based grassroots lay organization.
I find it hard to empty my mind. Can I still be a Buddhist?
Yes. To have many things on our minds, even during our Buddhist practice, is human. The goal of practice in the SGI is to strengthen our positive qualities and create value in life. Through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we naturally develop the ability to focus and to see ourselves and our own minds more clearly. We are then better able to direct them in the most constructive direction. Nichiren speaks of the need to "Become the master of your mind rather than let your mind master you." Calming the mind may come as one benefit from chanting but it is not a prerequisite and it is not the goal of the practice. The aim is to tap the vitality, wisdom and compassion innate within us, and apply those qualities to how we live. The goal of Buddhism is to win in life and contribute to the happiness of others--both pursuits needing constructive thought and action.
What is Daisaku Ikeda's role as president of the SGI?
Daisaku Ikeda writes essays, articles and books on the Buddhist philosophy of Nichiren and the Lotus Sutra to inspire and encourage the members of SGI around the world. His focus is on making profound Buddhist truths applicable to daily life. Several times a month he meets with SGI and Soka Gakkai members to share his perspectives and encourage them in their efforts to put Buddhism into practice. His focus is often on youth, as he is always concerned with passing on what he has learned. He also meets and corresponds with leading figures to discuss global issues and ways of building a more peaceful world.
How has Daisaku Ikeda contributed to peace?
Born in Tokyo in 1928, Daisaku Ikeda experienced firsthand the horror of war. He determined to devote himself to building peace, and particularly to healing relations between Japan and China. For over 50 years, he has also consistently taken action toward the abolition of nuclear weapons, organizing petition drives, issuing proposals and writing articles to that end. Ikeda's efforts to build peace range from citizen diplomacy during the Cold War, particularly helping to lessen tensions between China and the USSR, to ongoing dialogues aimed at increasing mutual understanding with a wide range of people from around the world--over 50 of his dialogues have been published in book form. As president of SGI, Ikeda has also issued annual peace proposals since 1983 containing ideas grounded in Buddhist humanism for viable responses to global issues. Ikeda has also established several institutions promoting peace, humanistic education and cultural exchange.
Where can I find a list of books he has written?
Viewing nuclear weapons as a threat to the right to life itself, in 2007 SGI also created the People's Decade for Nuclear Abolition, which aims to foster a global grassroots network dedicated to a nuclear-weapon-free world.
What is SGI's relationship with the United Nations?
SGI believes that the United Nations, for all its flaws, is a vital organ for international cooperation which enables issues to be tackled on a global level. To help amplify the message of the UN, SGI has initiated public education programs in support of the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World and the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. As a nongovernmental organization (NGO) with formal ties to the United Nations, Soka Gakkai in Japan has been associated with the UN Department of Public Information and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) NGO Liaison Unit since 1981. SGI has been in consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council since 1983. SGI UN liaison offices located in New York, Geneva and Vienna actively support UN processes and cooperate with other NGOs to promote disarmament, human rights education and interfaith collaboration.
Why does SGI stress individual empowerment?
Buddhism emphasizes the possibility of inner transformation--a process of bringing forth our full human potential. There is a common perception that the discipline and focus necessary for such a process requires a set of ideal circumstances not available to most. Nichiren Buddhism, however, teaches that it is only by squarely facing the challenges that confront us amidst the harsh contradictions of society that we can change our own lives and the world for the better. While the role of institutions or governments is important, change that starts within each person's life is seen the surest way to tackle the problems facing the world in the 21st century. Many people feel hopeless about these issues, but SGI stresses that people have the power to change their circumstances, and its public education and outreach projects aim to inspire people and equip them with information that they can use to make a difference in their communities.
Does SGI engage in political lobbying?
As an NGO, SGI is engaged in concrete constructive efforts to promote nuclear abolition, human rights education and education for sustainable development, in cooperation with other NGOs and UN agencies. For unique historical reasons, the Soka Gakkai in Japan is the main endorsing body for the New Komeito Party, which has a platform of policies aimed at peace, environmental protection and support for the vulnerable. For more information on the nature of the relationship between New Komeito and Soka Gakkai see www.sokaissues.info/home/why-politics.html. SGI organizations outside Japan do not engage in political activities.
Please check the directory page on the SGI website. If you cannot find a center in a particular country or region, then either there is no center or the center is not open to visitors. In some cases, information about additional centers which are staffed part-time is given on the website of SGI in that country.
If you are moving to another country and would like to get in touch with the SGI organization in your new location, please contact the national headquarters of your original SGI organization, before you leave if possible. They will assist you in making the necessary arrangements such as sending your name and contact information to the SGI organization in the country to which you are moving and issuing you a letter of introduction.
Please contact your national SGI headquarters well in advance of your planned trip so that they can issue you with a letter of introduction and provide you with contact details as appropriate. For privacy reasons, we are not able to provide direct contacts with SGI members in other countries.

ORCHID GROWER'S MANUAL, B. Williams, 1894 — RARE BOTANICAL HERBALS, Illustrated
"The Orchid Grower's Manual" by Benjamin Samuel Williams + Henry Williams, 1894 — Seventh and Final Edition, VERY RARE!
Publisher: Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, London 1894
The book is in overall EXCELLENT condition — boards and binding are well preserved and solid, especially for a book of this age and SIZE... The pages are crisp and clean with numerous illustrations of orchids some suitable for framing (which would be a shame, due to the excellent preservation of the book). Previous owner's name and name stamp on first blank page and small notation on the last blank page.
VERY RARE edition. Seventh and final edition, 1894, of this very large and complete tome of orchid-growing. Complete title:
The Orchid-Grower's Manual, Descriptions of the Best Species and Varieties of Orchidaceous Plants in Cultivation; Together with Notices of Their Times of Flowering, and Most Approves Modes of Treatment; Also, Plain and Practical Instruction Relating to the General Culture of Orchids; And Remarks on the Heat, Moisture, Soil, Seasons of Growth and of Best Best Suited to the Several Species and Varieties.
796 numbered pages. Contains numerous illustrations throughout the heavy tome.
By Benjamin Samuel Williams, F.L.S., F.R.H.S.
By Henry Williams, F.L.S., F.R.H.S.


Each Drawing placed onto a Layout sheet has a setting available for selecting a Title, and in the standard library there are several styles available. These are configurable, and by changing the parameter settings you may achieve different results.
However, there is a limit to how much the built-in Titles are able to do, and sometimes it may be useful to create your own custom drawing title style. To do this, on any layout draw the lines and text to create a "mock-up" of your title, then select them and use the File menu > Libraries and Objects > Save Selection As… > Drawing Title command, then name and save the new Title.
To make the Title "intelligent" so that it picks up the Drawing ID, Drawing Name and Drawing Scale, edit the text and replace the placeholders with Autotext using the special "A" symbol with the two curly arrows. These will temporarily show the name or names of drawings currently on the sheet, but when associated with a Drawing as a Custom Title, they will correctly show the information associated with that Drawing.
These custom Titles are not going to automatically change the length of the line to match the drawing, as this requires special GDL scripting. To have a different length line for the Title, you will need to create a separate copy with a different version of the 2D elements; you can do this for as many variations as you need, for example to fit onto a Detail grid for multiple cells.
These Titles will be placed by ArchiCAD at the bottom of the actual Drawing, and may need to be moved manually using the Pet Palette into the desired location on the sheet.
So all in all, they will not be as "smart" or configurable as the scripted ones in the library, but if you want them to match a company standard, or have a particular style you want to achieve, it is possible to create your own pretty easily.
So this has been Eric Bobrow. I look forward to seeing your comments and questions on the page down below. Thanks for watching.

Arsene Wenger Says Offside Calls Will Be 'Automated' At 2022 World Cup In Drastic Change
Published 14:55, 13 October 2021 BST
| Last updated 15:08, 13 October 2021 BST
Arsene Wenger has claimed offside calls could be "automated" for the 2022 World Cup.
As part of his role as FIFA's chief of global football development, Wenger has been looking at improving the beautiful game with a number of changes.
Rather controversially, the former Arsenal boss is advocating for a World Cup every two years.
But in addition, the 71-year-old is also placing great focus on offside decisions and believes a major revamp is coming ahead of the next World Cup in Qatar.

"We must continue to progress in the speed of decision-making, particularly in terms of offside," Wenger told reporters, as per The Mirror.
"In 2022 at the World Cup, we'll be much better able to make very quick offside decisions.
"And it will stop the game less because that is what the VAR can be faulted with.
"There is a real emotional lift, but after that you have to know if you want fair decisions or not.
"There is a good chance that the offside will be automated at the 2022 World Cup.
"I am bound to secrecy, but this will be the next of the big developments in refereeing."
The process would be the next step following on from the introduction of VAR.
In recent times, tweaks have been made to the offside laws in order to clamp down on goals being disallowed for attackers' armpits and toenails being ahead of the last defender.
Wenger has been very vocal about leaning on technology so that those running the line will get a signal telling them if it is offside or not.
Explaining the process on Fifa's Living Football vodcast earlier this year, Wenger said: "The average time we have to wait for a decision is around 70 seconds, sometimes 1 min 20 secs, sometimes a little bit longer when the situation is very difficult to appreciate.
"But with this system, there is an automatic signal to the linesman, via a watch he wears with a red light to tell him if it is offside or not.
"The semi-automated goes first to the VAR who signals it to the linesman.
"I'm pushing very hard to have the automated offsides, which means straight away the signal goes to the linesman and I think it will be ready for 2022."
Meanwhile, Wenger is making a return to the dugout in the coming months for charity fixtures - including a game against Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain in Saudi Arabia in January.

Monday outing for Evans
Tony Mowbray has revealed that Corry Evans should return to match action on Monday night.
The Northern Ireland international, who has been sidelined since the turn of the year with a troublesome groin injury, has been back in training this past week and is expected to play some part for the Under-23s in their Premier League 2 match against Middlesbrough.
"The plan is to give him some game time at Middlesbrough on Monday night," revealed Mowbray.
"I think it is wiser for him to play in a competitive game, probably half a game or 60 minutes at Middlesbrough with the Under-23s and see how he gets on.
"I've had a good chat with Corry. I like his footballing talent, I like the way he receives the ball, he's got what I call 'soft feet', he's got lovely passing feet and he'll keep the ball moving for us.
"So I'm looking forward to him being fit, ready, and available. He's not too far away. It'll be a couple of weeks before we can train with him on a Friday thinking that he is going to start the football match."
Adam Henley is also expected to step up his match time having played 30 minutes for the development squad last time out.

XFL Week 1 Betting Odds Are Finally Available Online
Super สมัครสมาชิกใหม่รับเงิน Bowl LIV just wrapped up, yet football season is nowhere near finished. On Saturday, the XFL returns following 19 years with eight groups set to contend. It's an interesting new association that football fans around the nation are watching out for. Presently, XFL week 1 wagering chances are at long last opening up.
Many fans are presently hoping to bet on the week's initial not many games. Luckily, this is simpler now than at any other time. Today, I'm going to breakdown the chances for each game this week, and talk about which groups merit tossing some cash on.
The chances beneath are given by BetOnline. Go ahead and look at the site for much more novel XFL wagering choices.
XFL Week 1 Betting Odds
Mythical beasts versus Defenders Betting Odds
Team Point Spread Over/Under
Seattle Dragons +7.5 (- 105) Over 48 (- 110)
DC Defenders -7.5 (- 115) Under 48 (- 110)
Wildcats versus Roughnecks Betting Odds
Los Angeles Wildcats +6 (- 108) Over 49 (- 110)
Houston Roughnecks -6 (- 112) Under 49 (- 110)
Snakes versus Guardians Betting Odds
Tampa Bay Vipers -3 (- 115) Over 50 (- 110)
New York Guardians +3 (- 105) Under 50 (- 110)
Battlehawks versus Renegades Betting Odds
St. Louis Battlehawks +9 (- 110) Over 51 (- 110)
Dallas Renegades -9 (- 110) Under 51 (- 110)
Clearly, there are a ton of inquiries encompassing the XFL. Nobody truly knows how these initial not many games will work out. There are a few significant rule contrasts between this association and the NFL that will significantly affect how the game is played.
As may be obvious, the real wagering chances above are no different either way. You're truly wagering against the spread. For the present, these spreads are fairly speculative and offer a phenomenal chance to win large.
A significant number of the most no-nonsense football fans are totally ignorant about who is in any event, playing this end of the week. Subsequently, the wagers being set are out of control. Here are a portion of the groups that I feel will get the triumph this Saturday.
The Dallas Renegades Get the Win Over St. Louis
As you might have seen, the Dallas Renegades are the greatest top picks in the XFL week 1 wagering chances. At the point when you investigate the group's setup, you start to see the reason why. A few top players are seeking Dallas and many feel this group will wind up coming out on top for the season title.
Maybe the most essential player in the group is previous Carolina Panthers running back Cameron Artis-Payne. Cameron wasn't one of the NFL's champion players, yet he had an amazing university vocation and has experience playing at the game's most significant level. The 29-year-old will be instrumental in mobilizing his group to triumph.
The Renegades likewise have Bob Stoops as lead trainer, which doesn't do any harm. Stoops was a long-lasting University of Oklahoma mentor and will be enormously gainful for the group. The blend of these two players is possible a key justification for why they're recorded as the season champ wagering top picks.
Right now, the Renegades need to win by 9 to beat the spread. Taking into account the XFL's activity weighty arrangement of rules, this ought not be excessively troublesome. On the off chance that you're searching for a sure thing, this may be the one.
The New York Guardians Pull Off the Upset
Assumptions aren't precisely high for the XFL's New York Guardians. I feel this is out of line. The group has a decent program including Mekale McKay and is driven by lead trainer Kevin Gilbride. They have all that anyone could need to pull off the steamed for this present week.
Spalding XFL Football, Coach Kevin Gilbride
However, things will not precisely be simple against the Vipers. This group has some headliners like Aaron Murray contending. With in light of everything, however, I feel the Guardians will acquire the success.
The slight point spread advantage likewise makes this a phenomenal bet to make at the present time. As may be obvious, New York is recorded as the +3 spread dark horse. That might prove to be useful for bettors on Saturday.
Most investigators feel this will be the most cutthroat round of the week. XFL proprietors are possible relying upon this one to energize. Those searching for a dark horse bet might have a champ with the New York Guardians.
The Houston Roughnecks Make Things Look Easy
Texas football fans have another group to pull for. On Saturday, the Houston Roughnecks take on the Los Angeles Wildcats. I don't think this will be especially serious. This forecast is more in view of feeling than any sort of examination. With the XFL week 1 wagering chances set how they are, this bet could make you mountains of money.
Maybe it's the insight about PJ Walker currently beginning as QB for Houston that is influencing my perspective. Walker is certainly not a notable name in the football world, yet he likely ought to be. He was a hotshot at Temple College yet holds the school's records for basically each and every passing measurement.
"I'm a small QB so I'm continuously going to convey a load of emotional baggage," Walker let the media know this week. "I'm continuously going to stroll on the field like I am the best player on the field."
In view of what's being said, the XFL will push for however much hostile result as could be expected. With a quarterback like PJ Walker, the Houston Roughnecks ought to do perfect. As a matter of fact, I think they know all about things against the Wildcats.
The XFL week 1 wagering chances are set and with only a couple of days until game day, they aren't probably going to change. Go ahead and put your bets today on the most secure XFL wagering locales and remain tuned for additional wagering expectations throughout the following couple of months!
