Eurazeo est une société d'investissement française créée en avril 2001 de la fusion entre Azeo et Eurafrance. L'entreprise gère 32,5 milliards d'euros d'actifs investis dans un portefeuille de plus 530 entreprises.

Historique

Création

« Gaz et Eaux » (renommée Azeo en 1999) est une société fondée en 1881, dont l'activité est la distribution d'eau et de gaz dans l'ouest et le nord de la France. Le gaz étant nationalisé en 1945, elle a conservé jusqu'en 1976, son activité eau pour passer progressivement de société de portefeuille à la fin des années 1970 à pure société d'investissement dans les années 1990.

Eurazeo, est issue de la fusion d'Eurafrance, créée en 1969 et d'Azeo, alors toutes deux des holdings du groupe Lazard, une opération qui oblige notamment Eurafrance à céder ses actions dans Generali, Mediobanca et Danone.

2001-2008
En 2003, Eurazeo acquiert Groupe Fraikin puis en avril, elle rachète 23 % d'Eutelsat à France Telecom. Puis Eurazeo rachète Buffalo Grill sur la base de 20 euros par action. Avec le fond Carlyle, elle investit dans Terreal.

En 2004, Eurazeo se rapproche de Rue Impériale et la rachète. Le groupe Fraikin est titrisée pour rembourser la dette de l'achat. Eurazeo devient le 1ᵉʳ actionnaire d'Eutelsat, opérateur européen historique pour les satellites de communication par achat de 10 % supplémentaires. Puis Eurazeo achète 73.5 % de Rexel, propriété de PPR (Pinault-Printemps-Redoute).

En 2005, Eurazeo acquiert les Ateliers de Construction du Nord de la France (ANF). Elle prend le contrôle total de Rexel avec le retrait obligatoire de la cote.

Eurazeo acquiert une première tranche du groupe Accor, puis de B&B Hotels. Plus tard dans l'année, Eurazeo vend Terreal puis IRR Capital (Capital International Real Returns) - société d'investissement achetée en 1997 - et BBS Capital acquise en 1998.

Suivent les acquisitions d'Europcar en 2006, d'Apcoa, un gestionnaire de parkings, en 2007, et beaucoup plus tard, en 2016, de Grape Hospitality, gestionnaire de 87 hôtels, dans 8 pays européens.

En 2006, Enrazeo acquiert 20 % de Banca Leonardo, une banque italienne destinée au marché italien du private equity et crée Euraleo, une coentreprise 50/50. Eurazeo Co-Investment Partners est fondé et le groupe Fraikin est cédé à CVC Capital Partners.

En 2007, Enrazeo cède Eutelsat et acquiert APCOA d'une partie de Sirti puis Elis, et se renforce dans Air liquide. Eurazeo acquiert une partie d'Intercos et de Station Casinos avec Colony Capital.

2008 - 2016
En 2008, le pacte qui protégeait le capital d'Eurazeo depuis sa création grâce à l'appui de Crédit Agricole et Lazard prend fin, obligeant Eurazeo à céder sa participation dans Lazard et la rendant vulnérable à des OPA, sa valeur économique étant supérieure à son cours de bourse.

En 2008, Eurazeo annonce son retrait de Veolia.

En 2009, Eurazeo vend des titres Danone par émission d'obligations échangeables en actions. En 2010, Eurazeo acquiert Fonroche Énergie et cède B&B Hotels au fonds Carlyle. Par acquisition de OFI Private Equity Capital, Eurazeo crée le pôle d'activité "Eurazeo PME" qui reprend les sociétés initialement contrôlées par OFI Private Equity Capital. Conjointement avec Bridgepoint, Eurazeo achète Foncia. Eurazeo cède la totalité des actions détenues dans IPSOS (via la holding LT Participations) puis achat de 3S photonics, et de Moncler.

Entre 2012 et 2014, Eurazeo vend par partie Rexel. En 2013, Eurazeo cède la totalité de sa participation dans Edenred puis acquiert IES et Péters Surgical. Elis achète Atmosfera. En 2014, Eurazeo acquiert l'éditeur de jeux de société Asmodee et investit 285 millions d'euros dans l'entreprise de prêt-à-porter Desigual.

En 2015, Elis et Europcar sont introduits en bourse. Eurazeo vend une partie d'Accor et de Moncler et se tourne vers la chimie avec l'achat d'InVivo Nutrition et Santé Animale (Invivo NSA). Elle acquiert une partie d'IM Square et CIFA Fashion Business Center, Prêt d'Union, rebaptisé aujourd'hui Younited Credit, Fintrax et elle poursuit son intérêt pour l'habillement avec l'achat de Vestiaire Collective et la French Tech PeopleDoc.

En 2016, Eurazeo acquiert Grape Hospitality et ses 85 hôtels en France et en Europe ainsi que deux écoles de gestion hôtelière suisses, Glion(Glion Institute of Higher Education) & Les Roches (Les Roches International School of Hotel Management). En mars, Eurazeo investit 134 millions d'euros dans Les Petits Chaperons Rouges, opérateur de crèches privées en France, puis 160 millions d'euros dans Novacap, acteur de l'industrie pharmaceutique et de la chimie. Eurazeo vend un tiers environ de sa participation dans Elis. En mai, elle achète Farfetch et en juillet, elle vend Foncia. A la fin de l'année, Eurazeo crée, avec des investisseurs privés, le holding CPK qui crée Carambar & Co, rassemblant 14 marques européennes de chocolat et de confiserie. Parmi elles, on trouve : Carambar, Kréma, le chocolat Poulain, La Pie qui Chante et Terry's, ainsi que les licences de Malabar et des rochers Suchard.

Depuis 2017

Le 29 novembre 2017, Eurazeo investit près de 100 millions d'euros dans Rhône Group, société d'investissement américaine et britannique, contre 30 % du capital de cette société. Un mois plus tard, le 29 décembre 2017, Eurazeo annonce l'acquisition de 70 % d'Idinvest Partners, ce qui double le montant de ses actifs sous gestion : de 8 milliards d'euros d'actifs sous gestion, Eurazeo passe à 16 milliards.

Ces deux grandes acquisitions coïncident avec la nomination de Virginie Morgon comme drigeante de la société, le 19 mars 2018. Eurazeo était depuis quinze ans dirigé par Patrick Sayer.

En 2017, Eurazeo achète Dominion Web Solutions, un fournisseur de solutions logicielles pour les secteurs des véhicules commerciaux et de loisirs. Puis Eurazeo acquiert IberChem, un producteur espagnol de parfums et d'arôme dans les marchés émergents. La famille Decaux entre à 15,4 % dans le capital d'Eurazeo. Dans ce prolongement, une prise de participation majoritaire dans Nest Fragances (leader de la parfumerie fine et d'intérieur) est annoncée en novembre 2017. Parallèlement, la filiale d'Eurazeo, Novacap, achète Chemoxy International Ltd (Royaume-Uni) puis PCAS (Produits chimiques et auxiliaires de synthèse), deux groupes de chimie. Fin décembre 2017, Eurazeo est en discussion pour reprendre Idinvest à 70 %.

En 2018, Eurazeo acquiert le Groupe C2S, ainsi que 70 % d'Idinvest Partners, et l'ensemble immobilier Highlight. Au cours du second semestre, Eurazeo investit dans Vitaprotech, Pat McGrath Labs et Albingia. La même année, Eurazeo annonce la cession de la totalité de sa participation dans Accor, Neovia, Odealim, PeopleDoc, Asmodee et Desigual.

Le 10 janvier 2019, le groupe annonce l'achat d'un immeuble de bureaux de  carrés à Londres, Euston House, dans le quartier de Camden, pour un montant de 105 millions d'euros. L'immeuble fera l'objet de travaux de rénovation et représentera un investissement en fonds propres de 40 millions d'euros. Il est d'ores et déjà loué jusqu'en 2022.

Début août 2019, Eurazeo annonce le rachat pour 250 millions d'euros de l'Américain Elemica, société spécialisée dans l'automatisation des procédures industrielles.

En octobre 2019, Eurazeo investit 60 millions d'euros dans Herschel Supply Co. (« Herschel »), marque de bagagerie et d'accessoires, basée à Vancouver, au Canada.

En février 2020, Eurazeo Patrimoine annonce la cession intégrale du CIFA à un fonds géré par Mata Capital.

En 2020, la pandémie de covid-19 touche des entreprises en partie détenues par Eurazeo qui doivent s'en remettre à un prêt garanti par l'État français, ce qui en contrepartie interdit à Eurazeo de verser des dividendes à ses actionnaires, alors que le groupe avait initialement prévu d'augmenter ces dividendes.

Fin juillet 2020, Eurazeo annonce une perte de 390 millions d'euros au premier semestre.

Mi-novembre 2020, Eurazeo annonce que la deuxième vague de Covid-19 aura un impact « limité » sur son portefeuille en comparaison de la première qui a eu lieu au printemps 2020. Le groupe devrait toutefois accélérer ses cessions d'actifs en 2021 et 2022 en raison de la dégradation de certaines activités, particulièrement dans les loisirs et les voyages.

Le 8 février 2021, Eurazeo annonce son désir de vendre Seqens (anciennement Novacap), pour 2 milliards d'euros. Seqens est propriétaire de 24 sites de production dont PCAS, Chemoxy International Ltd, PCI Synthesis, Uetikon GMBH et Novacyl, leader mondial de l'aspirine, de l'acide salicylique et de ses dérivés. En juillet 2021, Eurazeo effectue une levée de 1,6 milliard d'euros. Le 31 aout, les négociations exclusives avec SK Capital pour cette opération sont annoncées.

En septembre 2021, Eurazeo annonce l'acquisition d'un ensemble logistique et industriel multilocataires à Londres pour un montant de 27 millions d'euros. Toujours en septembre 2021, Eurazeo prend le contrôle du fonds de capital risque spécialisé dans la santé Kurma Partners.

Entre janvier et septembre 2021, Eurazeo réalise un chiffre d'affaires de 3,76 milliards d'euros, soit une légère baisse de 3 % par rapport à l'avant pandémie.

Sur l'ensemble de l'année 2021, Eurazeo annonce avoir levé 5,2 milliards d'euros auprès d'investisseurs, ce qui constitue un record pour l'entreprise.

Fin juin 2022, Eurazeo annonce la cession de sa participation de 51 % dans Trader Interactive. Eurazeo récupèrera environ 227 millions d'euros dans cette opération.

En 2022, le bénéfice net recule de 62 % à 595 millions d'euros.

Le 3 février 2023, une réunion extraordinaire entre actionnaires aboutit sur une remise en question de la présidente du directoire, Virginie Morgon. Un conseil de surveillance exceptionnel est convoqué le dimanche 5 février pour statuer sur son avenir. Il met fin à ses fonctions.

Q: Can someone help me debug this program Here is my code thus far, I think its doing its job right and i believe the problem is with my arrays.
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

const char FileName[] = "text.txt";

int main()
{
    string line;
    ifstream inMyStream(FileName);
    int c;
    int upperCaseCount[26] = { 0 };
    int lowerCaseCount[26] = { 0 };
    char oneLetter;

    if (inMyStream.is_open())
        {
            while (getline(inMyStream, line))
            {
                c += line.length();
            }

            for (unsigned n = 0; n < line.length(); ++n)
            {
                oneLetter = char(line[n]);
                if (oneLetter >= 'A' && oneLetter <= 'Z')
                {
                    upperCaseCount[int(oneLetter) - 'A']++;
                }
                else if (oneLetter >= 'a' && oneLetter <= 'z')
                {
                    lowerCaseCount[int(oneLetter) - 'a']++;
                }
            }
        }
        inMyStream.close();

        cout << "Uppercase Characters: " << upperCaseCount << endl;
        cout << "Lowercase Characters: " << lowerCaseCount <<endl;
        cout << "Digits: " << c << endl;

    return 0;
}

Here's the output I'm getting--->

C:\Users\House\Desktop\Lab11>test
Uppercase Characters: 0x28fcf4
Lowercase Characters: 0x28fd5c
Digits: 1959532772
C:\Users\House\Desktop\Lab11>

A: I see two issues (there is another big one that I left for you to debug).
You need to initialize the variable c to some useful starting value (perhaps 0).
You need to iterate over your arrays to print their contents. The odd looking outputs you currently get are addresses, not the array contents.

A: Here is a Working example for counting upperCases lowerCases and numbers
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

const char FileName[] = "text.txt";

int main()
{
    string line;
    ifstream inMyStream(FileName);
    int c=0;//counts digits
    int upperCount=0;//counts uppercases
    int lowerCount=0;//counts lowercases
    char oneLetter;

    if (inMyStream.is_open())
        {
            while (getline(inMyStream, line))
            {

                for (unsigned n = 0; n < line.length(); ++n)
                {
                    oneLetter = line[n];
                    if (oneLetter >= 'A' && oneLetter <= 'Z')
                    {
                        upperCount++;
                    }
                    else if (oneLetter >= 'a' && oneLetter <= 'z')
                    {
                        lowerCount++;
                    }
                    else if (oneLetter >= '0' && oneLetter <= '9'){
                        c++;
                    }
                }
            }

        }

        inMyStream.close();

        cout << "Uppercase Characters: " << upperCount << endl;
        cout << "Lowercase Characters: " << lowerCount <<endl;
        cout << "Digits: " << c << endl;

    return 0;
}

hope it helped ;)

On the ancient and sacred hill of Goula, in Nestani, lies the monastery of Virgin Mary "Gorgoepikoos". It is an excellent example of ritual continuity, since the hill has always been dedicated to a female manifestation of the divine. It is thought that the monastery was founded in the 11th century by the Emperor Alexios Komnenos. We now know, as confirmed by documents, that it has been in operation since 1536 AD. It is surrounded by various ruins of the ancient and early Christian years that increase its appeal and importance. It has the privilege of overseeing the Mantinian plains from an altitude of 680 meters. It is a triple-domed basilica, an excellent construction. It emerges amongst the pine trees as the beautiful stone path leads to the heart of the monastery. Today it serves as a convent. It celebrates on August 15th, the day of Virgin Mary's Assumption, when faithful pilgrims come flocking to Her. It also celebrates on 1st October. The miraculous icon that is kept here is attributed to St. Luke. The monastery holds important relics, icons, manuscripts and parchments. Here also rest saints' holy relics of great ritual significance.

The Onion's A.V. Club "Inventory" lists become YouTube videos
. If you chug pop culture, but like it served up with a twist, "Inventory" will delight every nerve in your nerdy body.
1) What was the genesis of the Inventory program?
Inventory started as a weekly feature on avclub.com in 2005 -- we've done something like 300 of them now! We wanted to challenge ourselves to do a list-type feature in our own way, without being trite or boring like so many lists are. We never wanted to do anything like "10 sexiest movie scenes" or anything; we'd rather do "14 movies featuring tragic masturbation scenes." (Like the one in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. You know what I mean.) It quickly grew into our most popular feature; our readers love to comment on what we missed, and what they agree/disagree with.
2) How does YouTube help in your process, if at all?
We use YouTube all the time to embellish the text Inventory pieces. We'll very frequently reference movie scenes or particular songs, and it's great to be able to show and tell. Sometimes the Inventories are really long -- I've had people tell me that they spent hours just reading one and watching all of the accompanying YouTube clips. Probably while they're supposed to be working.
3) How can the YouTube community get involved in the show, making recommendations or other?
We're often inspired by commenters with new Inventory ideas, and we've always positioned Inventory as an incomplete list of whatever we're talking about. If we have 24 great films too painful to watch twice, for example, we'll learn of a dozen more that could've been on the list from our commenters. We like to think of the feature as the beginning of a conversation, not the end of it.
4) What's a little known fact about Inventory that you'd never know by watching it?
Maybe that we argue amongst ourselves about what should be included. Sometimes people read Inventory as a definitive list of things, not realizing that there are half a dozen people in a room, often vehemently disagreeing on whether something should be included.
5) What question would you ask yourselves if you were doing this interview?
Are you hungry? Can I get you a snack?
Josh Modell, General Manager, The A.V. Club, graciously answered these questions but points out that "pretty much everybody in The A.V. Club had a creative hand in these video segments."
The folks at the A.V. Club (the pop culture wing of The Onion) have a new series debuting on YouTube this week called "Inventory," based on the popular lists by the same name at avclub.com. If you chug pop culture, but like it served up with a twist, "Inventory" will delight every nerve in your nerdy body.

Western lamps – New hanging lamps are a quick and easy way to update any kitchen. Hanging lamps can be fully customized to match an existing interior, to modernize a kitchen remodel, or to add the last artistic hand to a new kitchen design. Updating a kitchen by installing tailor-made hanging lamps is an economical and easy way to improve the value of your home.
Determine the size and length you want for your new custom western lamps. Use a tape measure to measure the exact distance you want your hanging light to hang. Also, determine the distance of your hanging lamps. Determine if your hanging lights are turned on individually or in groups. Check your current breaker box to see if you have a switch for the new hanging luminaires. If you replace old kitchen lamps with pendants, you can use the switches used for the old kitchen lighting.
If you are remodeling and installing a new set of western lamps, you may need another switch. Buy the switch style as you wish. Your options include regular switches, flat modern switches and knobs or slides that allow you to adjust the lighting of the pendants. Choose the perfect pendant base, fixture or chapel as you wish for your new kitchen hanging lights. Bases are available in a variety of colors and materials including white, black, silver, chrome, gold, platinum, brushed nickel and copper finish. Pendant bases and fixtures can be further customized by painting or spraying additional colors or designs before installation.

In honour of the Winter Olympics, and my recent holiday in Chamonix, this month's images have an alpine theme. They are taken from the W. Riley Archive (RIL) and the Peart-Binns Collection.
Willie Riley, later to write "Windyridge" and many other novels of Yorkshire life, visited the Alps in July 1911 with his wife Clara and two friends Florence and Ethel Bolton. The Boltons had recently lost their parents and a sister, and spent much time that year with the Rileys. It was to help cheer these two the following empty winter that Willie began "Windyridge". The Alpine visit was a tour arranged for the party by Continental Travel. It included Basel, Lucerne, Andermat, Zermatt, Chamonix and Geneva. This image shows the Mer de Glace (France's largest glacier) at Chamonix. This along with many other photographs were collected into an album by Willie along with postcards and ephemera of the journey, and labelled "Sweet memories of July 1911".
Christian socialist writer Maurice Reckitt and his brother Geoffrey became involved in amateur theatricals while holidaying in the Swiss town of Villars-sur-Ollon. In particular, they took part in the Villars Revue, first held in 1914 in imitation of successful ragtime revues, and revived 1920-1931. Maurice Reckitt wrote lyrics and performed on the piano. Souvenirs of the revues were privately printed as Hullo Villars! Encore Villars! and Au Revoir Villars! , each featuring a retrospective by Reckitt. The performances were rich in ski-themed parodies of popular songs e.g. "You made me shove you" (a skating duet), "Let's do it (let's go and ski)".

Although the Apostle Paul was incarcerated many miles away, his heart was solidly with the Philippians. Christian bonds are immune to distance.
Most have had to move and leave brethren, but the unity we enjoy in Christ extends beyond time and space. In Christ, we remain tethered together in the same household (Ephesians 2:19; Galatians 3:27).
The bond of love is powerful when we're "filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19, NKJV). Love, inspired by Christ, is the rule of fellowship in his household (Acts 2:47; Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 John 4).
Unity comes not from human agreement but by being bonded with Jesus. Harmony with the Lord and his Word constitutes unanimity (Ephesians 3:14-18). With human consensus we decide the boundaries, when Christ is the rule (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 11:6).
Paul called to God as his witness for the depth of his love for the brethren at Philippi (Philippians 1:8). He yearned for them over the miles with great affection and tenderness.
We simply can't have a love for God without a love for the brethren. God won't allow us that option. An unselfish love must dominate our lives (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God" (1 John 4:7).
God brought us together and it's our job to get along in love and humility. We put the Lord first in everything and glorify him completely (Ephesians 3:20-21; 4:11-16).
We must learn as much as we can about God in order to live the life he dictates for his children (2 Timothy 2:15). Taking that knowledge and converting it to righteous living requires humble discernment and the courage to say no to the flesh.
Abide in Christ and abound in him daily and extraordinary blessings will happen (Malachi 3:10).


In the late 1990s, amid a glut of cheap, relatively pure heroin, drug overdose deaths in Australia rose alarmingly. However, for various reasons, the supply later dried up and, by 2001, drug users were reporting a veritable drought. Degenhardt et al watched it all unfold. Did the reduced supply lead to fewer overdoses and deaths, or did users simply overdose on other drugs? Turn to "The effect of a reduction in heroin supply on fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses in New South Wales, Australia" for the answers.
Of course, heroin overdose is still a common reason for ambulance callouts. Giving intramuscular naloxone, the usual first-line treatment for suspected drug overdose, exposes ambulance officers to the risk of contracting blood-borne viruses from needlestick injuries. In a randomised controlled trial, Kelly et al tested the theory that intranasal naloxone administration would be just as effective (→ Randomised trial of intranasal versus intramuscular naloxone in prehospital treatment for suspected opioid overdose).
We didn't need films like Black Hawk Down to associate helicopters with danger — watching the news can also do the trick. However, helicopters clearly have a crucial role to play in aeromedical transport, as well as military endeavours. How safe are they? Holland and Cooksley evaluate the accident record over 11 years for Australia's helicopter emergency services (→ Safety of helicopter aeromedical transport in Australia: a retrospective study). Editorialists Garner and colleagues believe we can further improve helicopter safety — find out how in "Safety of emergency medical service helicopters".
Allergic rhinitis is not a trivial condition when you consider its prevalence and its impact on quality of life, other medical conditions and productivity. Walls and colleagues present a Clinical Update on optimal management of this perennial problem (→ Optimising the management of allergic rhinitis: an Australian perspective).
This question — with regard to the medical humanities — is often raised with Gordon, author of one of several articles on this topic. She defines the term "medical humanities" and points out the value of including this subject in the basic medical curriculum, citing "case histories" of doctors and students who've become converts to the cause (→ Medical humanities: to cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always). In fact, Evans, a UK Professor of Humanities in Medicine and a keynote speaker at a conference on the subject in Sydney last year, argues that the reductionism of modern medicine makes engaging with the humanities even more vital (→ Is medicine a "cultural good"?).
GP Hellman weighs in for the defence with her compelling tale of the death of a friend. The moral: that story-telling can help doctors cope with tragedy (→ Narrative and illness: the death of a doctor's friend).
If you find the latest Australian immunisation schedule (which includes some unfunded vaccines) confusing, you're not alone. The conference report from the 9th National Immunisation/1st Asia-Pacific Vaccine Preventable Diseases Conference held last year politely states that this issue "generated vigorous discussion". You'll be interested to hear, though, that rotavirus and HPV vaccines will not be long in the offing. To put things into global perspective, problems associated with providing vaccines in the Pacific were also highlighted (→ Immunisation at the crossroads: 9th National Immunisation/ 1st Asia-Pacific Vaccine Preventable Diseases Conference).
Imagine there's no barriers, says Sydney GP Mann, at least not between hospital and community. In this Utopia, the currency is in "bunyas", patient care is seamless, the healthcare world lives as one, and, wait for it, waiting lists fall. You may say she's a dreamer, but Mann cites evidence that suggests some of this dream is well within reach (→ From "silos" to seamless healthcare: bringing hospitals and GPs back together again).
Dip into our Letters to the Editor for our usual varied fare. Did you know about the analgesic tramadol being associated with seizures? How often do hospital doctors prescribe nicotine replacement therapy and how well immunised are our preschoolers against varicella? There were also vigorous responses to previous articles on elective surgery and smokers; using tissue plasminogen activator in stroke; web and telecounselling; playground safety standards; and subsidised access to TNF-α inhibitors (→ Letters).
Two years apart, two elderly women presented in extremis to a Taiwanese hospital. Their marked hypertension and pulmonary oedema landed them both in intensive care, where all the usual measures proved ineffective. These women shared a rare complication of a common illness. Lee et al tell the story (→ Hepatitis C-associated cryoglobulinaemia presenting with refractory hypertensive crisis and acute pulmonary oedema)).
If we wish to know about a man, we ask "what is his story — his real, inmost story?" — for each of us is a biography, a story. Each of us is a singular narrative, which is constructed continually, unconsciously, by, through, and in us — through our perceptions, our feelings and thoughts and our actions, not least, our discourse, our spoken narrations. Biologically, physiologically, we are not so different from each other; historically, as narratives, we are each of us unique.

It would be one thing if the Islanders didn't have any skill or talent. But everyone, including those in uniform, all know they have enough firepower to do some special things this season.
What they do not have is the mental game . . . yet.
That was the theme of Steve Stirling's post-practice talk yesterday on the Coliseum ice as the new coach tries to fix some of the same problems that have hamstrung the Isles for the past two years. This is a team that is in need of sustaining the kind of pressure they put on the Penguins Wednesday night in the first period, and the Isles are a team desperately searching for the mental edge that can keep opponents down for a full 60 minutes of hockey.
Mark Parrish called it a "killer instinct," while Stirling said the team needs to start filling the gaps in their game that allowed the Pens to claw back into that 4-4 tie.
"That's hard," Stirling said. "There's no right answer to it. It's not one guy, we talked about it; it's not one person. It's not one guy speaking up . . . they take turns. I'm not a believer in C's and A's. They're earned, they're respectful and it's an honor. But there's other guys in that locker room on any given night, whether verbally or emotionally, or whether it be just a good shift, can be a leader. Whether it be short-term, medium-term or long-term.
Today the Islanders host the Ducks, a team that got to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals by playing for each other and by getting some sizzling goaltending from J-S Giguere.

Pacman on my newly installed system shows status icons with a package icon & status icon to the right.
This makes it very hard to ascertain the state of the package.
I am wanting to know if other users are seeing this? If not what would be causing this display issue?
This is really really really strange behaviour!
Gnome, but if you look closely I was / am testing out the newAdwaita theme.
seems a problem with numix icons, and as you say adwaita?
I don't think it's newAdwaita's fault at all. (I have tested with other themes).
It looks like its a combination of Pamac & Icon Themes. (I don't know 'how' icon themes can do this).
Hopefully there will be a Pamac update that addresses this issue soon.

The Lasting Impact of Eugenics: An Interview with Audrey Clare Farley
The writer and historian discusses her new book and the politics and history of the eugenics movement.
by Eleanor J. Bader
When nurse Dawn Wooten blew the whistle on medical staff at the Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia last fall, she reported that dozens of female detainees had been involuntarily sterilized at the privately-run immigration prison.
It was a shocking allegation, reminiscent of medical abuses that many of us assumed were relics of a bygone era.
Sadly, however, these abuses have persisted into the twenty-first century, and Wooten's revelation cast a bright light on the intersection of racism, sexism, and xenophobia.
Today's religious right grew out of the eugenics movement.
Audrey Clare Farley's The Unfit Heiress: The Tragic Life and Scandalous Sterilization of Ann Cooper Hewitt provides the political and historical context for this intersection. It zeroes in on the early- to mid-twentieth century eugenics movement—a once mainstream effort to perfect society by keeping "the unfit" from reproducing—by highlighting the story of Ann Cooper Hewitt, whose mother, Maryon, conspired to have her sterilized after a doctor declared her mentally defective in a bold—some would say unconscionable—attempt to take her daughter's share of an inheritance.
Farley's description of Cooper Hewitt's effort to sue her mother, as well as the doctors who classified her as a "moron" and performed surgery to remove her Fallopian tubes, makes for gripping, unsettling, reading.
I recently spoke with Farley about the book in a far-reaching conversation over Zoom.
Q: How did you learn about Ann?
Audrey Clare Farley: I'd been researching the history of insulin, which was invented in 1921, because my daughter is diabetic and, as I read about this period, I discovered that diabetics had largely been excluded from eugenicists' involuntary sterilization campaigns. I found that curious, so I read everything I could find on the eugenics movement. I eventually read about Ann and the story really impacted me. I was fascinated by what a sensation she'd caused, but her situation was also interesting on an intellectual level.
Q: Did you ever find out why diabetics were not targeted for sterilization?
Farley: Intellectual disabilities were considered more dangerous than physical disabilities because a "feeble-minded" woman was thought more likely than a physically disabled woman to cross the color line. Intellectual disabilities were seen as a bigger threat to white supremacy. Also, diabetes was erroneously thought to afflict mostly middle and upper class whites—exactly the people eugenicists wished to see reproduce.
Q: You describe The Unfit Heiress as a work of creative nonfiction in the author's note. What did your research involve and what liberties did you take?
Farley: My research involved a lot of reading, including many academic books about eugenics, sexuality, and the prevalent cultural attitudes of the first half of the twentieth century. I also read extensive news coverage about Ann's case. There was actually an incredible amount of material in the tabloids. They were great fun to read so I spent eight to ten hours a day immersed in them and learned not just about the courtroom battle, but about Ann's dad, Peter Cooper Hewitt, and about her mother.
This gave me a firm factual foundation. But I felt that I had to take some liberties when it came to crafting dialogue. In most cases, the dialogue had been summarized in the press so it was not hard for me to imagine what had been said. I also took liberties when I felt that I had to offer an explanation for why something happened.
For example, when Ann forgave her mother and decided not to pursue the criminal case against her, I had to hazard a guess about why she did this. My feeling was that she bonded with Maryon because both had been so thoroughly trashed by the media; Ann understood how deeply wrong this was.
Q: Why did eugenics have such a hold on society and gain such broad acceptance?
Farley: The late 1800s were an extraordinary moment for science, and some religious communities—mostly liberal Protestants—broke from other Christians in supporting science. They did not see Darwinism as at odds with faith and argued that religion and science could coexist. It was also a time when many Christians were focused on earthly progress. Under the influence of postmillennialism, they believed that Jesus would not return to earth until 1,000 years of peace and prosperity had been achieved. Liberals who subscribed to this idea felt it was their responsibility to do what they could to abolish crime and poverty. They saw eugenics as a way to perfect the world.
The reproductive justice movement has broadened the focus on reproductive issues to include forced sterilization and childcare, in addition to abortion and birth control.
On the other hand, Catholics thought sterilization was intrinsically evil. Evangelicals opposed it because they saw Darwin as the bogeyman and were exclusively focused on the afterlife and being saved. They felt that when the Rapture came, the world would be forsaken. At the same time, evangelicals supported some aspects of the eugenics movement, like anti-miscegenation laws and restrictions on immigration.
Q: You draw a straight line between eugenics and the so-called New Right, in particular James Dobson's Focus on the Family.
Farley: Today's religious right grew out of the eugenics movement. James Dobson's mentor was eugenicist Paul Popenoe, who is an important figure in the book. Their relationship was documented by Popenoe's son. While Popenoe was an atheist and Dobson put everything in Biblical terms, the two shared the same worldview.
Grace Farley
Audrey Clare Farley
After the 1930s, Popenoe's focus shifted from forced sterilization, which was being discredited, to bolstering heterosexual marriage and the traditional family. He wanted to eliminate barriers to white reproduction, such as pornography, masturbation, and homosexuality. He opened the American Institute of Family Relations, counseling couples and training clergymen (many Baptists) to do the same. He strongly opposed interracial marriage, but had counselors use coded language such as "compatibility."
Dobson served as Popenoe's assistant at the Institute before founding Focus on the Family in 1977. Like Popenoe, he believed in male authority, opposed interracial marriage, and fretted about rising immigration and non-white reproduction. In ranting about inner-city, out-of-wedlock Black births, he pretended the issue was moral, not racial, while simultaneously presenting patriarchal marriage as the solution to poverty.
Q: Let's talk about Ann's case. Did the public sympathize with her?
Farley: Briefly. After she filed the case against her mother and the doctors, many sympathized with her. But once Maryon got out in front of the story to say that Ann was "over-sexed," that she threw herself at men, including "negroes," and had been declared a "moron" by a reputable psychologist, the media started to present Ann negatively, and by the time the judge dismissed the case against the doctors, no one even bothered to protest the decision on Ann's behalf.
Q: The case was filled with twists and turns, including a suicide attempt by Maryon. Do you see this as manipulation, or did she feel some remorse for what she had done to her daughter?
Farley: I see Maryon's attempt to end her life as an attempt to escape infamy and a life of poverty. Had Ann won the case, the suit would have bankrupted her and it was highly unlikely that she would have been able to "marry up" for a sixth time because of the negative publicity. Nonetheless, there is some evidence of a change of heart. Right before she died, she phoned Ann, but Ann never returned the call. She had also been offered a lot of money to write a tell-all book, but she didn't do it.
Q: How did you feel toward Ann?
Farley: Ann had my heart. I cared about her in a deep way. I sympathized with her because she spent her life chasing after the kind of unconditional love she'd gotten from her father before he died. Still, I knew that she'd done something terrible to at least one other woman, so she was complicated.
Q: The fact that sterilization abuse continues to happen is horrifying. Do you have any insight into how we can organize to end it once and for all?
Farley: The reproductive justice movement has broadened the focus on reproductive issues to include forced sterilization and childcare, in addition to abortion and birth control. They're waging this campaign against a backdrop of opposition to racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
But a lot more needs to be done to bring attention to the issue. I am heartened that what happened at the Irwin Detention Center was made public and is being challenged in court and hope that the legal system provides some justice to the women who were sterilized without their consent.

Spoon the onions into the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the onions. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the quiche comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
This was really good. I did add some things to it, but it was a great base. Best of all, my picky toddler ate it!

At 17, Toni Murphy was a surly and unruly teenager. She felt suffocated by her parents, had a boyfriend they didn't like, was bullied at school, and fought with her sister. For many, this sounds like a typical teenager, but for Murphy they were all evidence of her guilt. You see, at 17, Toni was sent to prison for murdering her sister along with her boyfriend, Ryan. The thing is, she didn't do it. Now 17 years later, Toni is out and trying to keep herself out of trouble, but the pull to find out the truth about her sister's murder is too great.
Alternating between present day and 1996, when the murder was committed, That Night by Chevy Stevens chronicles Toni's life story and is broken down into two halves. In the first, we learn about Toni's teenage antics, her relationship with Ryan, and her difficult time in school. Bullied relentlessly by a group of girls and constantly fighting with her sister, she and her troublemaker boyfriend are obvious suspects when her sister is brutally murdered. In the second half, Toni is released from prison and returns to her hometown, where she does everything in her power to stay out of jail. The problem is that whoever killed her sister isn't comfortable with her freedom and is doing everything in their power to ruin her life.
While I wouldn't say that this book is YA, it does remind me of it (honestly, I don't read enough YA to make an accurate assessment, but it's the vibe I got). Despite the heaviness of the book, the writing style is short and simple (which I'm not accustomed to),glosses over many of the gritty parts of prison life, and leaves out Ryan's experiences entirely. Although this doesn't take away from Toni's story, it does make it harder to connect with and relate to a hardened and determined post-prison Ryan.
That said, it was still a great book. It was quick, fast-paced, and hard to put down. Although you know early on who probably did it (and is a driving force behind the story), the revelation of what happened That Night was not something I was expecting. If you're looking for a good whodunnit, then try it out.
What was the last great whodunnit that you read?

Stonehaven town centre. Tourism has always been important to the town.
Published: 16:29 Wednesday 08 February 2017
Here is what you have had to say in our Letters to the Editor se4ction this week:
Are we funding good causes?
Sir, – For the past 30 years I have been paying tax at 40 per cent. I'm one of thousands of baby boomer, council house Scots who got and took their chance in the 60s and 70 and, while still voting Labour, had to admit that Tory tax reforms of the 80s set us up for life.
Paying higher taxes seemed very fair if it helped people less fortunate, people like our parents and neighbours who had given their all to bring us up to behave, study, work hard and be good citizens.
And now we have a devolved government that will charge 372,000 of us an extra £400 a year – 372,000 people who read the papers, watch the news, and will vote in the council elections.
Many will be asking why, with all Scotland's special geographic and social conditions already accounted for in the Barnet Settlement, we need even more public funding, and is the money going to what we would regard as good causes?
Apart from the millions wasted on Baby Boxes, Gaelic signs and teaching and "Brexit means Scexit" jaunts round Europe there are some fundamental reforms of our public services and our own attitudes to government in all areas of society that can drastically reduce public spending, boost our economy, improve our infratstructure and target more help to those who genuinely need it.
The SNP can no longer blame previous administrations for a timidity of who they regard as their core voters or a lack of talent in executing change.
I sense the crunch will come soon. – Yours, etc.,

defence from waves
Removing shingle from the beach
Sir, – I was interested to read the suggestion by Mr Tony Zaccarini last week as to how removing shingle from Stonehaven beach could alleviate wave over topping along the seafront. Unfortunately this is unlikely to be the case.
Shingle, rock and other forms of obstruction help dissipate the force of waves before they reach the shore. Without a barrier of some sort waves reach the shore unimpeded and carrying their full force, which is often sufficient to overtop coastal defences. For example, the outer breakwater at the harbour faces the open sea and as such always has deep water against it. Waves created during stormy weather impact on it without hindrance and can regularly be seen crashing over it.
A shingle bank isn't just measured by quantity, but also breadth, slope and shingle size. If it extends out to sea and is composed of larger stones, which are less easily transported by waves, it can afford excellent protection against wave damage.
A more effective solution needs to be found to safeguard not only vulnerable property but vulnerable people too who have suffered so much by seeing flooding destroy a lifetime's worth of mementoes, photographs and the like.
Previous technical studies of Stonehaven beach have shown by increasing the shingle volume, the risk of overtopping is generally reduced. Hence reducing the shingle volume actually increases the likelihood of coastal flooding. There are occasions when shingle which slopes to the top of the sea walls can create a ramp, allowing waves to crash over it, and also prevent the recurve at the top of the sea wall from doing its job. Other than this the general rule is that a bigger shingle bank comprising bigger stones is an effective barrier to waves. – Yours, etc.,

Sticky solution to chewing gum
Sir, – I am concerned about the level of chewing gum which in recent years has become a blight on Stonehaven's pavements. I would like to resolve this issue by proposing the following measures to Aberdeenshire Council.
In the town centre chewing gum has become a serious problem, and I'd like to gain public support to help persuade the council to have it removed before it gets much worse. We all need to be proactive in resolving this situation, as the state of our pavements is an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to our entire community.
This is a call for an Action Plan to be developed along the following lines:
• Request support from all retailers and national chains who operate within the town, to advise customers at the point of sale, to take care and to dispose of the chewing gum in a responsible manner.
• Request that the council advise all school children that litter and particularly chewing gum should be disposed of in a responsible manner. This should be communicated regularly at the end of each and every term.
• Request that an educational leaflet campaign be developed and delivered to all Aberdeenshire households. The leaflet should ask parents to re-enforce this responsible message to their children.
• Request to the council that a mobile chewing gum removal facility be employed to visit Aberdeenshire towns, starting with Stonehaven.
• Request to the council that Stonehaven town square, including a further one block radius, be the focal point of an ongoing clean-up campaign.
• Request that as responsible residents we challenge people we see dropping chewing gum on the pavements.
• Request that a campaign be launched which would provide disposable chewing gum "stick it to me now" signs 200x300mm. These signs could be erected at strategic positions outside bars, bus stops, food carry outs and anywhere people congregate.
To move this last action point along, I have taken the liberty of designing a GOB (Gum Officially Banned) logo which could be printed at the top of disposable signs.
Hopefully, this will encourage people to stick used gum on the signs and not discard it onto the pavements. Aberdeenshire Council is welcome to use this logo as they see fit, or alternatively come up with their own version, but something really needs to be done!
I am well aware that in today's society this is a cultural problem, but that is no excuse. Unfortunately ignoring the situation will not make it go away, it will just keep getting worse. Removal is only part of the solution, prevention is the absolute key.
I am not naive enough to think that any of this will totally eradicate the problem, but we have to try.
If the council move forward with this initiative, then hopefully the impetus will spread to other towns. If Stonehaven residents agree, then it would be good to get some support for this proposal. Write to the leader, councillors or Aberdeenshire Council to show your support and let's see if we can get something done about it in 2017. – Yours, etc.,
Frederick Tony Zaccarini

Q: Hover on one element, make another element slide down I have a top-level navigation that is being made using a Wordpress built-in function. I then have another function that is taking one of the top level navigation's page id to create a list of it's children pages. I want this div to slide down on hover of the corresponding top menu item.

...

      <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'depth' => 1,) ); ?>

By Industry

By Module

        <?php
            // use wp_list_pages to display parent and all child pages all generations (a tree with parent)
            $parent = 85;
            $args=array(
              'child_of' => $parent
            );
            $pages = get_pages($args);
            if ($pages) {
            $pageids = array();
            foreach ($pages as $page) {
                 $pageids[]= $page->ID;
            }

            $args=array(
              //'title_li' => 'Tree of Parent Page ' . $parent,
              'include' => implode(",", $pageids)
            );
            wp_list_pages($args);
            }
        ?>

#dropdown-contain is being hidden in my style sheet.
Since the wp_nav_menu is creating my top-level list, I cannot make my sub-list a nested list, which is why I just made it as a separate div.
Here is the jquery I have at the moment:
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("li.page-item-6").mouseenter(function(){
        $('#dropdown-contain').slideDown().clearQueue();
        $("#dropdown-contain").mouseover(function(){
            $('#dropdown-contain').stop().css('display', 'block');
        });
    });

    $("#dropdown-contain").mouseout(function(){
        $('#dropdown-contain').clearQueue().slideUp();
    });

});

The problem here is that the sub-nav will stay open if you don't hover onto it before exiting. If I just hover over the top level element and don't hover over the sub menu, the sub menu will stay open until I hover on and off of it. So, I tried to include this:
$("li.page-item-6").mouseout(function(){
        $('#dropdown-contain').clearQueue().slideUp();
});

When I include this, the sub menu behaves a little strangely. If I hover over the top list item and  off too quickly before the menu has finished sliding down, on the next hover it will only slide to that same point. So after a few hasty hovers, the menu stops sliding completely until I refresh the page.
So in summary, I want to hover over one list item, triggering the slide down of a completely separate div. On mouse out of either the list item or the div, the menu will slide back up without any awkward jumping. If anyone could help me out or find me a link that may be helpful I'd really appreciate it!

A: Try this code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("li.page-item-6").mouseenter(function(){
        $('#dropdown-contain').stop(true).slideDown();
    });

    $("#dropdown-contain, li.page-item-6").mouseleave(function(){
        $('#dropdown-contain').stop(true).slideUp();
    });
});

.stop() - Stop the currently-running animation on the matched
  elements. http://api.jquery.com/stop/


View webinar "Progression Markers in Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer" presented by Dr. Niels Fristrup from Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
Transcripts from the four genes encoding cyclin D1, MCM7, TRIM29, and UBE2C have previously been included in gene expression signatures for outcome prediction in stage Ta/T1 urothelial carcinomas. Here, we investigated the prognostic value of the protein expressions in patients with stage Ta/T1 urothelial carcinomas. We used four different tissue microarrays with a total of 859 Ta/T1 urothelial carcinomas from Danish, Swedish, Spanish, and Taiwanese patient cohorts with long-term follow-up. Protein expression was measured by immunohistochemistry, and antibody specificity was validated by Western blotting.We found the expression of cyclin D1, MCM7, TRIM29, and UBE2C to be significantly associated with progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (log-rank test; p<0.001) in the Danish training cohort (n=283). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified cyclin D1 (p=0.003), TRIM29 (p=0.001), and UBE2C (p<0.001) as independent prognostic markers. The prognostic value of the four proteins was validated in a joint validation cohort from Sweden, Spain, and Taiwan (n=576). We applied computer-assisted image analysis of the prognostic markers and produced results comparable to those obtained by manual scoring. Finally, a four-protein maximum-likelihood classifier was trained on the Danish training cohort; and applied to the validation cohort. The four protein markers may help optimize treatment of patients with Ta/T1 bladder cancer. Additional prospective studies are needed for further validation of their clinical relevance.
Niels Fristrup was educated as medical doctor from the University of Aarhus in 2010. His research started in 2008, primarily concerning prognostic protein markers in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, now also focusing on predictive markers of Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) treatment response. In his research Niels works to correlate advanced molecular analyses of cancer tissues from patients suffering from bladder cancer with extensive long-term follow-up of large patient cohorts. The goal is to create new, precise ways of identifying the aggressiveness of the cancers as early as possible, or the responsiveness towards BCG immunotherapy. This resarch could potentially lead to a more precise prognostication, again leading towards personalized medicine; the right treatment for each patient. Niels publication list encompasses 10 peer-reviewed articles in renowned journals as The American Journal of Pathology, Oncogene, and Cancer Research.


"Study of Spent Refractory Waste Recycling from Metal Manufacturers in " by H. Fang, Jeffrey D. Smith et al.
There are over 150 metal related companies in Missouri that discard approximately 7500 metric tons of spent refractories annually. Nearly all ( 99%) of the refractories are landfilled wasting valuable natural resources. The purpose of this research is to minimize the refractory wastes being landfilled by studying the types and quantities of spent refractories generated by these companies, the states of these wastes, and technologies for recycling and reusing them. Conducting this study in Missouri is ideal because it has a diverse group of metals (lead, aluminum, steel and copper) manufacturers and the results, therefore, should be applicable to other regions of the US and of the world. This paper reviews previously identified techniques for recycling refractory materials, summarizes data from informational surveys of metals manufacturers in the state, and highlights potential barriers to, and opportunities for, spent refractory recycling. Results from the surveys indicated that two large waste streams exist in Missouri and that identifying and implementing recycling of these two waste streams would dramatically reduce the quantity of spent refractories landfilled annually.

Q: Event-driven architecture avoid getters I understand an event-driven architecture leads to decoupling.  However, can using an event-driven architecture lead to minimal "getter/accessor" use?  It seems that if you had some type of event handler such as BalanceChanged that passes the new Balance around then you wouldn't need a getter to access the Balance of an Account object.  Am I thinking about this incorrectly?
EXAMPLE:
public class Account
{
  public void MakeContribution(Contribution contribution)
  {
    contributions.Add(contribution);
    OnBalanceChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
  }

  private double calculateBalance()
  {
    double balance = 0;

    foreach (Contribution contribution in contributions)
      balance += contribution.Amount;

    return balance;
  }

  public event EventHandler BalanceChanged;

  protected virtual void OnBalanceChanged(EventArgs e)
  {
    // Create new AccountEventArgs with the calculated balance
    // Pass AccountEventArgs instead of EventArgs.Empty
    BalanceChanged?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
  }

  private IList<Contribution> contributions = new List<Contribution();
}

And then inheriting EventArgs to add a double Balance attribute.  Or is passing data through event (messages) not a good idea?
