Trustee Rhatigan reported that annual fire inspections and public assembly inspections are currently underway at the Building Department. There were 25 fire inspections performed and there are approximately 45 premises that will be inspected next month.
The renewal notices for contractors, electricians and plumbers were mailed out a few weeks ago. The Building Department staff processed over 325 applications. The Zoning Board of Appeals heard two cases in December. The Architectural Review Board heard five new cases and five re-hearings in December.
Trustee Rhatigan reported that the Police Department had a relatively quiet entry into the new year with minimal activity at a time when some may be tempted to overconsume alcohol. Trustee Rhatigan commended the parents who took the time and made the effort to impress upon their children the responsibility that comes with alcohol and the benefits of wholesome celebrations that do not include alcohol.
Trustee Tomecki reported that the Recreation Department hosted a holiday tree lighting on Dec.16 located near the multi-purpose hockey rink. It was a well-attended event by both children and adults and even Santa Claus and his cheerful elves made an appearance.
Trustee Tomecki reminded residents that as of Jan. 1, 2012, all leisure passes are subject to renewal and are needed for all recreation programs including the use of recreation facilities and equipment. Information regarding recreation programs may be found in the Village Items, the new edition which residents should have received by now, our website at www.fpvillage.org, or simply by stopping by the Recreation Center or calling them at 326-6336. Program registration will be on Jan. 17 and 18 from 6 to 9 p.m.
The Recreation Center remained open during the holidays, closing on the only two scheduled holidays during the year, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Trustee Longobardi reported that since the reorganization of the Tree Department, 50 trees have been removed by the Department and 18 have been removed by an outside contractor. Of the 130 trees that were planned to be planted this year, 122 are already in the ground. Trustee Longobardi thanked the Department for their hard work.
Trustee Longobardi thanked the Police Department and Police Commissioner Steve McAllister for working closely with Public Works regarding the break-in at the garage.
Now that the leaves are gone and colder weather is beginning to settle in, the Department of Public Works has been working over the past several weeks readying snow removal equipment should the need arise to use it. Salt and sand spreaders are being conditioned and tested and the plows are being prepped. Being prepared helps to ensure a speedy and accurate response to any storm situation. This philosophy is evidenced by the Village's responses to Tropical Storm Irene and last year's two-foot plus snow storms. Trustee Longobardi encouraged residents to be prepared as well. Check snow blowers to make sure they are in proper working order. Make sure you perform required service to these machines as the village does to its bigger equipment. Nothing is more upsetting than going out the day after a snowstorm only to find out that the snow blower is not functioning properly. Keep snow shovels and brooms handy near the front of the garage. You may even want to take the shovel in the house the night before a storm depending on how much snow is predicted to fall. As always, sand will be available for our residents at the village garage. Make certain that flashlights are in good working order and that you have a supply of wood for your fireplace and candles available should we lose power. Extra food and drinks can be purchased prior to the storm if need be. Emergency information will be available from Village Hall and will be posted on the village's website and television station. While no one can predict the intensity of any storm, even when it is right upon us, the suggestions above can be done leisurely, when time permits. Again, simple preparations ahead of time allow for few headaches and mistakes during any storm event.
On behalf of his family, Trustee Longobardi wished everyone a very happy, healthy and blessed new year!
Trustee Fitzgerald said that Library Director Tracey Simon would like to thank the Department of Public Works for planting the cherry tree which replaced the tree that was lost during last year's lightning storm.
With the turn of the calendar, the library continues to roll out new databases and new programs. Some of the new databases available online are: All Data Auto Repair, a one-stop resource to review car repairs; A to Z World Travel, which allows the user to create their own personalized travel guide to their destination city; and, Natural Standard, a resource to review and research natural remedies. Residents will need a valid library card and Internet connection to access this information.
Among the many upcoming programs at the Library, on Wednesday, January 18th, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the St. Francis Hospital Outreach Mobile Bus will be visiting the library offering blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes screenings.
Mayor Tweedy, along with Trustee Longobardi, attended the Floral Park Chamber of Commerce holiday party at Crabtree's Restaurant, which was an enjoyable and well-attended party. The Floral Park business district continues to be a vital and important place to do business.
Mayor Tweedy said it was a pleasure to represent the village at two inaugurations; one for the Town of North Hempstead and the other for the Town of Hempstead to witness the transfer of power from former legislators to new legislators. Village Administrator Patrick Farrell represented the Floral Park at the Installation of the Nassau County Legislature in which 19 new legislators were sworn in. It is important to show reciprocal support to our local leaders with whom we work very closely throughout the year. One story in particular that Mayor Tweedy wished to share was that of Anna Kaplan, a new Councilwoman, who was sworn in at the Town of North Hempstead. Ms. Kaplan escaped from her native country of Iran due to the Muslim uprising in 1977. She and her family fled Iran and came to the United States. Ms. Kaplan is another remarkable example of the compassion we as Americans show for those who struggle to be free as Ms. Kaplan went from political refugee to political leader. Mayor Tweedy said we are fortunate that we live in a country where political refugees are welcomed and are afforded the opportunity to excel, even to rise and become political leaders. Mayor Tweedy thanked each and every person sworn in for their service to our great country.
On motion by Trustee Rhatigan, seconded by Trustee Fitzgerald, and carried unanimously, Mayor Tweedy recessed the meeting at 8:35 p.m.

On Aug. 2, 1933, Tampa Junior College was transformed into The University of Tampa when its headquarters moved from the local high school to what is now known as Plant Hall. Leading the new institution was Frederic H. Spaulding, the former principal of Hillsborough High School and the man who had been the motivating force behind establishing the first local university for Tampa's high school graduates.
Built between 1888 and 1891, the hotel was designed to surpass all other grand winter resorts. At a cost of $3 million, the 511-room giant rose to a flamboyant height of five stories, surrounded by ornate Victorian gingerbread and topped by Moorish minarets, domes and cupolas.
The rooms that once hosted Teddy Roosevelt, the Queen of England, Booker T. Washington, Stephen Crane and Babe Ruth (who signed his first baseball contract in the hotel's grand dining room) are now classrooms, laboratories and administrative offices–the heart of The University of Tampa and a landscape for state-of-the-art student learning environments. Today, The University of Tampa serves more than 8,913 undergraduate and graduate students, and Plant Hall remains the foundation of a 110-acre, 60-building campus that successfully blends the historic with the modern.
Known for academic excellence, personal attention and real-world experience in its undergraduate and graduate programs, University of Tampa students come from 50 states and 132 countries. There are more than 200 programs of study, including 16 master's degree programs and numerous study abroad opportunities. From its humble beginnings in Plant Hall, UT boasts a $300 million annual revenue and a $1 billion estimated annual economic impact.

CULTURE FEATURES MOVIES
Astoria International Film Festival • 5th Annual
Post author By Les Kanekuni
5 IS THE operative number as the Astoria International Film Festival returns for its 5th year, and, for the first time as a 5-day festival. To commemorate the occasion, festival director Ron Craig has scheduled 5 Oregon films to screen at the LightBox Photographic Gallery as a sidebar to the regular screenings at the Liberty Theater. As always, Craig covers all bases with his Northwest film offerings, an expanded Young People's Film Festival, a selecton of socially significant docs including an Academy Award winner, and dollop of Hollywood glitz with a tribute to the late Elizabeth Taylor.
The festival kicks off with renowned independent filmmaker Kelly Reichardt's pioneer story Meek's Cutoff, starring Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Bruce Greenwood. A period Western with a feminist bent, Meek's Cutoff tells the story of three families heading west in covered wagons who have left the Oregon Trail in search of a shortcut, their guide, the bearded, blustery Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), insists is there. But as weeks go by in desolate country and water runs short, Meek declares: "We're not lost, we're finding our way." Story is told from the point of view of the wives, who walk behind the wagons and are excluded from decisions. Of the wives, Emily Tetherow (Williams) is the most outspoken and distrustful of Meek. With Indian sightings increasing, when Meek captures an Indian scout and threatens to kill him, mistrust and conflict within the party rises to a head and Emily becomes the Indians protector. Based on a true story, $1M film lensed in eastern Oregon near Burns.
Festival highlights include Charles Ferguson's Academy Award-winning documentary Inside Job, a devastating exposé of the financial crisis of 2008. Narrated by Matt Damon, the film does an exemplary job of explaining complex economic issues in simple, easy-to-understand, even humorous ways. Covering close to 30 years of U.S. economic history, basic premise is that the global economic meltdown was "not an accident." Investment banking firms, loosening of regulatory process by several administrations, predatory lending practices and just plain greed all contributed to the global disaster. Dozens of government and private villains are adroitly grilled by Ferguson, to the point that several ask for the cameras to be turned off. Not all of those interviewed are from the financial industry. Ferguson also talks to a Wall Street madam who supplies high-class call girls to flush clients and a therapist who analyzes investment bankers "blatant disregard for the consequences of their actions." Movie also boasts a "rock video" credit montage featuring Peter Gabriel's song "Big Time." True to the theme of the movie, the rights to the song cost Ferguson close to $100,000.
On a lighter note is Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker's delicious doc Kings of Pastry, in which sixteen of France's top pastry chefs compete against each other for the ultimate honor of Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (best craftsmen of France). The importance of the right to wear the blue, white and red collar and the competition itself is underscored by one of its supporters – French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Held every four years, the MOF requires the contestants to create 40 recipes over three nerve-wracking days. The filmmakers' camera follows several contestants as they create everything from perfect cream puffs to fantastic dessert sculptures, all the while under the microscope of the judges who grade their creations for taste and artistry. The cameras also capture the human toll of the event, as the chefs are pushed to the brink, mentally, physically and emotionally. When things go wrong in the kitchen, as they do for nearly all the contestants, the tragedy of the moment literally brings the chefs to tears. In the end, the desserts speak for themselves as Pennebaker's camera glides over the fantastic creations. Even for non-foodies Kings of Pastry is an absorbing peek into the world of high-stakes dessert crafting.
The AFF pays tribute to screen legend Elizabeth Taylor with two of her classic performances in Butterfield 8 and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. In the late '50s and early '60s Taylor was at her career peak. She was nominated for four consecutive Academy Awards from 1957-1960 and for Cleopatra (1960) she was the first actress to earn a $1M salary. In her Academy Award-winning performance in Butterfield 8, Taylor plays Gloria Wandrous, a loose woman having an affair with wealthy executive Weston Liggett (Laurence Harvey), a married man. As their tumultuous affair unfolds, Wandrous and Liggett are pulled in opposite directions as their mutual attraction conflicts with moral standards, leading to a dramatic finale. Trying to have it both ways, the movie is both an overheated melodrama and cautionary tale. Perhaps the most fun moment is when Taylor confronts her mother with the information that "I was the slut of all time!" In another classic performance Taylor plays Maggie the Cat in the movie version of the Tennessee Williams classic Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958). A family melodrama with the subtext of repressed homosexuality, Brick Politt (Paul Newman) is an alcoholic ex-athlete in an unhappy marriage with the sexually frustrated Maggie. Visiting the family home in Mississippi to celebrate the birthday of Brick's dominating father, Big Daddy (Burl Ives), Brick and Maggie must deal with insinuations about their marriage, particularly their lack of children. When the moody Brick continues to drink, leading to friction with Big Daddy, Maggie, the emotional sparkplug of the movie, reveals that she set out to ruin the relationship of Brick and his close friend Skipper, who committed suicide. As in many Tennessee Williams plays, the story is a long night of secrets revealed. Emotional wounds are re-opened, but healing begins. Taylor again has a great line with her declaration that "Maggie the Cat is alive!"
The 5th Astoria International Film Festival runs from October 20-24. Screenings will take place at the historic Liberty Theater and the LightBox Photographic gallery. For a complete festival schedule go to the festival website: http://www.goaiff.com/.

Guillermo del Toro: Crafting Pinocchio at Museum of Modern Art, December 11, 2022 – April 15, 2023
"The Museum of Modern Art presents Guillermo del Toro: Crafting Pinocchio, an exhibition devoted to the craft and process behind the celebrated filmmaker's first stop-motion animation film. On view in the second-floor Paul J. Sachs Galleries and in the Debra and Leon Black Family Film Center, the exhibition will provide visitors with a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process to realize del Toro's latest film, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022). Guillermo del Toro: Crafting Pinocchio will invite visitors to explore the collaborative craft of stop-motion animation filmmaking, from look development to the years-long production process, through a presentation of five full working sets and four large set pieces, alongside puppets and marionettes, maquettes, sculptural molds, drawings, development materials, time-lapse and motion-test videos, digital color tests, archival photography, and props from the film." — MoMA
"With Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, we had the unique opportunity to organize an exhibition during the active production of a feature film by one of this generation's most important filmmakers," says curator Ron Magliozzi. "The chance to observe firsthand how Guillermo and fellow director Mark Gustafson engaged with the craftspeople and artists on their team inspired our selection and installation of the works on display."

By: The Growth Coach | 3 Shares 40 Reads
Business owners in North Western Oregon can find new direction and guidance with a unique "business lighthouse" – business and sales coach, Gary Furr, owner of The Growth Coach.
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) May 21, 2013 - There comes a time for every business when it's necessary to take time out, reflect, and look at the future. But what do business owners do if that future is foggy? No clear direction ahead?

Furr brings more than 30 years of business, 12 years of Chief Operating Officer experience for a $40 million company, and a Masters of Business Administration in Organizational Development to his new, encore career. He's looking to focus on helping small business owners, managers and leaders.
"We have a lot of wonderful, technically confident people in this community, but many are really struggling with business operations. They know how to make a fantastic product, but don't quite know how to run a successful business," Furr said. "My desire, and expertise, is to work with those who need to bridge the gap between doing what they know and love, and running a successful, sustainable business."
In his previous career, Furr oversaw finance, sales, marketing, human resources and production. He knows what it takes to create and follow-through with a strategic business plan, hire and train solid leaders, and maximize profits. These skills, combined with The Growth Coach's proven, proprietary process arm Furr with focused solutions that make a difference in the lives of business owners throughout his community.

"I really have a passion for helping people and, in this case, they just happen to be small business owners. When I decided to start a new career in coaching, I did my due diligence and found that The Growth Coach fit what I was looking for – they have extensive materials and strategies combined with a system that's supportive and continuously improving."
Professional associate Elizabeth Peters has worked with and been able to observe Furr for more than five years. She's excited to see the positive impact he'll make on the business leaders in his community in this new career.
"Gary is probably one of the premiere leaders in his industry in Oregon and beyond. He's thoughtful and strategic and he knows how to take a big vision and make it real," she said. "Possibly most importantly, he's a great communicator and he has a way of bringing people alongside him and helping everyone to learn together. It's inspiring."

Q: Java assert nasty side-effect - compiler bug? This
public class test
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Object o = null;
        assert o != null;

    }
}

prints out "o != null"; both 1.5_22 and 1.6_18. Compiler bug? Commenting out the assert fixes it. The byte code appears to jump directly to the print statement when assertions are disabled:

A: I don't know about "nasty".  Can you give a real example of some code where this would bite you?  Your example looks very contrived.
EDIT - out of curiosity, I typed in the program, compiled it and ran it with java 1.6.0_16.  No compiler bug is evident for me:

*

*With assertions enabled (java -ea test) I get an assertion error.

*With assertions disabled (java test) I get no output.

A: Assertions can be enabled and disabled at runtime. If you execute your code with the -ea-switch (for enable assertions) the assert should work:
java -ea my.class

A: The JVM is optimising the if (o != null) clause away because you've already asserted that o is never going to be null.
Assertion are not enabled by default at runtime, and are generally used to validate that code fulfils some contract, e.g. you just want to make sure that a certain object is never going to be null (e.g. to avoid null pointer exceptions). It is because of that "contract" that the compiler can optimise the if (o != null) away, because it knows that this condition will never happen.
As they are generally not enabled at runtime, think of them as helping to develop a piece of code rather than a runtime error checking mechanism.

A Bronx Tale (en español: Una historia del Bronx o Una luz en el infierno) es una película estadounidense de 1993, dirigida por Robert De Niro y rodada en la ciudad de Nueva York, con la actuación de De Niro, Chazz Palminteri y Lillo Brancato como protagonistas.

Argumento
En 1960, Lorenzo (Robert De Niro) trabaja como conductor de autobús de la MTA en Belmont, un barrio de clase trabajadora italiano-estadounidense en El Bronx, con su esposa Rosina (Kathrine Narducci) y su hijo Calogero (Francis Capra) de nueve años. Calogero se enamora de la vida criminal y la presencia de la mafia en su vecindario, dirigido por Sonny (Chazz Palminteri). Un día, Calogero es testigo de un asesinato cometido por Sonny en defensa de un amigo. Cuando Calogero decide quedarse callado al ser interrogado por los detectives de la policía de Nueva York, Sonny toma cariño por él y le da el apodo de "C". Los hombres de Sonny le ofrecen a Lorenzo un trabajo mejor remunerado, pero prefiere una vida respetuosa de la ley como conductor de autobús y declina cortésmente. Sonny se hace amigo de Calogero y le presenta a su tripulación. Calogero gana propinas por un valor de $ 600 trabajando en el bar de la mafia y tirando dados, y Lorenzo lo regaña duramente cuando descubre el efectivo. También habla con Sonny, le devuelve el dinero y, enojado, le advierte que se mantenga alejado de Calogero.

Ocho años después, Calogero, de 17 años, se ha convertido en un joven que ha estado visitando a Sonny regularmente sin el conocimiento de su padre. Calogero también es parte de una pandilla de chicos italoestadounidenses locales, que responde a Sonny. Más tarde, Calogero conoce a una chica negra, Jane (Taral Hicks), y desarrollan una amistad. A pesar del alto nivel de tensión racial y aversión entre italoestadounidenses y negros en el vecindario, Calogero organiza una cita con Jane. Él pide consejos tanto a su padre como a Sonny, este último le presta su coche a Calogero. Más tarde, los amigos de Calogero golpearon a los ciclistas negros que recorren su vecindario, a pesar de los intentos de Calogero de defenderlos. Uno de los ciclistas resulta ser el hermano de Jane, y confunde a Calogero con uno de los asaltantes y lo acusa de golpearlo cuando él y Jane se encuentran para su cita. Calogero pierde los estribos por la acusación y lo llama "nigger", lo que lamenta al instante. Jane se va con su hermano.

En casa, Calogero se enfrenta a su padre, que lo vio conducir el coche de Sonny. Se produce una discusión y Calogero huye. Poco después, Calogero se enfrenta a Sonny y sus secuaces, quienes encontraron una bomba en el coche que C usó y sospecharon que este planeaba asesinarlo. Calogero suplica entre lágrimas su inquebrantable dedicación a Sonny. Sonny reconoce la inocencia de Calogero y le permite irse. Los chicos negros lanzan huevos al bar habitual de los chicos italoestadounidenses en represalia por la paliza anterior, y los amigos de Calogero planean contraatacar usando cócteles Molotov. Fuerzan a Calogero a participar, pero mientras se dirigen, Sonny detiene su automóvil y ordena a Calogero salir. Calogero se pone al día con Jane, quien le dice que su hermano había admitido que el chico que lo golpeó no era Calogero. Jane y Calogero hacen las paces, pero Calogero de repente recuerda los planes de sus amigos de atacar el vecindario de Jane, y los dos se apresuran a detenerlos. Calogero y Jane llegan para encontrar el coche de los niños italoestadounidenses en llamas. Durante el ataque, un chico negro devolvió un cóctel Molotov intacto al coche. Al entrar por la ventana, enciende los cócteles molotov restantes, lo que resulta en una explosión que mata a todos los que están dentro.

Calogero se apresura en el concurrido bar de la mafia para agradecerle a Sonny por salvarle la vida, pero un asaltante le dispara a Sonny en la parte posterior de la cabeza antes de que Calogero pueda advertirle. Más tarde, Calogero se entera de que el asaltante era el hijo del hombre al que Sonny mató ocho años antes. En el funeral de Sonny, innumerables personas vienen a presentar sus respetos. Cuando la multitud se dispersa, un hombre solitario, Carmine (Joe Pesci), visita el funeral, alegando que Sonny también le salvó la vida. Calogero no reconoce a Carmine hasta que ve una cicatriz en la frente y se da cuenta de que es el hombre atacado a quien Sonny había defendido cuando cometió el asesinato. Calogero le pregunta si el asesinato fue por una pelea por el estacionamiento a lo que Carmine responde que no. Carmine le dice a Calogero que reemplazará a Sonny en el vecindario por el momento, y le promete ayuda si alguna vez la necesita. Carmine se va justo cuando el padre de Calogero llega inesperadamente para presentar sus respetos a Sonny. Lorenzo le agradece por salvar la vida de su hijo y admite que nunca lo había odiado, pero que lo había resentido por hacer que Calogero creciera tan rápido. Calogero y su padre caminan juntos a casa mientras Calogero narra las lecciones que aprendió de sus dos mentores.

The economic slowdown in China, as well as global instability, low commodity prices and changing interest rates, means that corporates in the Asia Pacific region may find themselves in strife. Restructuring and turnarounds may be called for, yet, as new research shows, more and more companies are waiting to the last minute to implement changes – which, in many instances, may have a long term negative impact on financials.
The slowdown in economic activity across Asia is likely to have a knock on effect on regional corporates that may find themselves in some, or considerable, distress in the coming period. To survive the storm, corporates may need to undergo significant transformation or risk bankruptcy.
In a new report from AlixPartners, titled 'A Race Against the Clock', the consultancy firm considers the current conditions in which a host of corporates in the region operate, as well as the link with restructuring demand. The research involves a survey of 100 lawyers, bankers, and fund managers across Asia Pacific who had completed turnarounds or restructuring.
According to the study, the number of corporate restructuring and turnaround professionals citing an anticipation in the level of corporate restructuring continues to increase. In 2015, 57% of respondents said there would be a slight increase and 36% said a significant increase. This year, those expecting a significant increase (48%) outnumbered those that expected a slight increase (44%). This is up significantly on 2013 and 2014, when a considerable number of respondents expected a slight increase, and few expected a significant increase – 13% for both years.
The research also considers the primary reasons for restructuring over the coming 12 month period. Top of the list from respondents (27%) are changes to regional, and global, macroeconomic conditions. The top specific factor, according to 68% of respondents, is the 'underwhelming economic growth in China', and its impact on the wider market – up from 40% last year. The second most cited concern is debt and liquidity. Corporates have enjoyed a protracted period of low interest rate loans, used in part for aggressive growth, and have become increasingly leveraged – payback time looms however, with up to $1 trillion in debt due for repayment over the next four years. Rolling over the debt may prove more difficult as interest rates rise (due to moves in the US base rate) and market volatility creates uncertainty.
The authors further find that the focus areas for restructuring have changed somewhat since last year. Debt/capital restructuring is now the primary reasons, up from 37% last year to 54% this year. Operational restructuring too has seen an increase, up from 37% to 49%. Management/leadership change has decreased in focus somewhat, falling from 20% last year to 12% this year. Implementing all three has fallen from 39% of respondents last year to 33% this year.
However, even with worsening corporate conditions, few organisations are embarking on restructuring projects until they find themselves in actual distress. In 2016, 28% of respondents said that they would move to restructure at the signs of stress, down from 69% of last year's respondents. Many companies are instead opting to wait for signs of serious distress, as cited by 40% of respondents. A small fifth of companies take a proactive approach to restructuring.
The lack of swift action to stymie a possible long term business issue may have long term negative consequences for the business and its shareholders. When considering the extent to which the late start of a restructuring/turnaround negatively impacts the success of the overall reorganisation, 58% said it has a significant negative effect, 40% says it has some effect and just 2% says no effect.
AlixPartners in addition asked respondents about the group which bears the most influence on restructuring of the organisation for the coming 12 months. The group that was the most likely to wait until distress, the CEO and other C-suit executives, are the ones whose decision counts – at 54%. The board of directors has lost considerable influence since last year, falling from 44% of respondents to 14%.
According to respondents, the use of third parties to implement and drive corporate restructuring has increased. 11% of respondent companies say a lender appointed Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) will hold the most sway, up from 1% last year. While 5% says a company appointed CRO will be taking the lead.
"CROs are going to come into wider use because they have the experience and the outside perspective that corporate management teams may lack", comments a respondent at a Hong Kong–based investment bank. Other respondents reinforce that opinion, noting that the problem isn't that management teams are incapable of managing the process, but rather, that the current financial or operational turmoil is leaving them blind to obstacles in the medium to long term.
Embarking on the sale of a business is one of the most challenging experiences a management team can undertake. Even serial dealmakers acknowledge that the transaction process can be gruelling, exposing management to a level of scrutiny and challenge through due diligence that can be distinctly uncomfortable.
So, to embark on a sale process when a business is in distress is twice as challenging. While management is urgently trying to keep the business afloat, they are simultaneously required to prepare it for scrutiny by potential acquirers. Tim Wainwright, an experienced Transactions Partner with Eight Advisory, says that this dual requirement means sellers of distressed businesses must focus on presenting their business in a way that supports buyers in identifying value, whilst simultaneously being open about the causes of distress.
Cash: In a distressed situation cash truly is king. Accurate forecasting and day-by-day cash balances are often required to ensure any buyer is confident that scarce cash reserves are under proper control.
Equity story and turnaround plan: Any buyer is going to want to understand the proposed turnaround strategy: how is the business going to enact its recovery and what value can be created that means the distressed business is worth saving? Clear presentation of this strategy is essential.
The business model: Clear demonstration of how the business model generates cash is required, with analysis that shows how financial performance will respond to key changes – whether these are positive improvements (e.g., increases in revenue) or emerging risks that further damage the business. Demonstrating the business is resilient enough to cope with these changes can go a long way to assuring investors there is a viable future.
Management team: As outlined above, this is a challenging process. The management team are in it together and need to be consistent in presenting the turnaround. Above all, the team needs to be open about the underlying causes that resulted in the distressed situation arising. A defensive management team who fail to acknowledge root causes of distress are unlikely to resolve the situation.
Financing: More than in any traditional transaction, distressed businesses need to understand the impact on working capital. The distressed situation frequently results in costs rising as credit insurance becomes more difficult to obtain or as customers and suppliers reduce credit. Understanding how these unwind will be important to the potential investors.
Employees: Any restructuring programme can be difficult for employees. Maintaining open communications and respecting the need for consultation is the basic requirement. In successful turnarounds, employees are often deeply engaged in designing and developing solutions. Demonstrating a supportive, flexible employee base can often support the sale process.
Structuring: Understanding how to structure the business for the proposed acquisition can add significant value. Where possible, asset sales may be preferred, enabling buyers to move forward with limited liabilities. However, impacts on customers, employees and other stakeholders need to be considered.
Off balance sheet assets: In the course of selling a distressed business, additional attention is often given to communicating the value of items that may not be fully valued in the financial statements. Brands, intellectual property and historic tax losses are all examples of items that may be of significant value to a purchaser. Highlighting these aspects can make an acquisition more appealing.
"These eight focus areas can help to sell a distressed business and are important in reaching a successful outcome, but it should be noted that it will remain a challenging process," Wainwright explains.
With recent studies indicating that the valuation of distressed business is trending north. With increased appetite from buyers who are accustomed to taking on these situations, it is likely that more distressed deals will be seen in the coming months. "Preparing management teams as best as possible for delivering these will be key to ensuring these businesses can pass on to new owners who can hopefully drive the restructuring required to see these succeed," Wainwright added.

Kilkenny youngsters chase John West Féile Croke Park dream
Cian Lynch and Ella Troy
Robert Cribbin
robert.cribbin@kilkennypeople.ie
Hundreds of Kilkenny schoolchildren will contest matches over the next two weekends (August 21 and 28) in the battle for John West Féile county honours.
Camogie and hurling (Féile na nGael) take centre stage next weekend, with football (Féile Peile na nÓg) competitions running on August 28.
Clubs nationwide will showcase the GAA stars of the future as they battle it out for the chance to play in Croke Park in October.
Kilkenny's John West Féile na nGael hurling finals will be staged at Palmerstown, St John's Park, MW Hire O'Moore Park and Nowlan Park.
The camogie games will take place at Glenmore, Danesfort, Freshford, Gowran, Clara and Tullaroan.
The Féile Peile na nÓg ladies football games will be staged at the James Stephens GAA Kells Road pitches.
Organisers of the 2021 Féile have honoured their commitment that no child would be left behind this year after the pandemic caused the cancellation of the 2020 festival.
This year's event is being run on a county basis, with the age grade moving to under-15.
It is backed by John West Féile ambassadors and inter-county stars, Kilkenny's Denise Gaule (camogie), Limerick's Cian Lynch (hurling), Armagh's Aimee Mackin (ladies football) and Galway's Shane Walsh (Gaelic football).
This year's festival also marks 50 years of the Féile camogie and hurling competitions.
To celebrate this, club representatives from the counties which participated in 1971 – Dublin, Wexford, Kilkenny, Waterford, Limerick, Clare, Cork and Galway – will play in a hurling/camogie blitz in Tipperary's Semple Stadium on October 25.
In addition, clubs from all 32 counties will be selected to play in Croke Park over three days at Halloween – based on participation in Féile, not on whether teams win their county events.
This is the sixth year of John West's sponsorship of what has grown to become one of the biggest underage sporting events in Europe.
"Féile highlights the importance of sport in children's lives and that is something John West is truly passionate about," said John West Ireland General Manager, Peter Rooney.
"We pride ourselves on supporting children taking part in sport and make a conscious and continuous effort to highlight the importance of young people continuing to play into teenage and adult years.
"The cancellation of the 2020 John West Féile due to Covid came as a big disappointment to hundreds of young footballers, hurlers and camogie players all over Ireland, but we remain proud to promote the philosophy that every player should participate at a level fitting with their age, skills and strengths."
GAA President, Larry McCarthy, insists that one of the great benefits of a lifetime involvement in the GAA, is the friendships and memories made as a result.
"As a competition, Féile has been superb at living up to this from its earliest days. To reach its 50th anniversary is a significant milestone and generations of players have experienced the joy of being a part of Féile na nGael and Féile Peile na nÓg.
"Restrictions mean that it will have to be run differently. But we will still be able to enjoy the games and the skills and talents of our young players from the hundreds of clubs and communities they proudly represent."
Please note, all dates and venues are provisional and attendees are advised to check with their local Féile co-ordinator or County Board before attending matches.

It worked out pretty well, but even so the publisher said during today's earnings call that this year's Call of Duty-and yes, there's going to be one-will see the return of a campaign. Revenue for the recent quarter stood at $1.66 billion, down -13% on previous year and below the $1.66 billion predicted by analysts. In the second quarter past year, the firm recorded $0.41 earnings per share. (NASDAQ:ATVI) for 52.93 million shares. Bearing that in mind, this company is experiencing top-line progress, as its year-over-year quarterly revenue has grown by 2.30%. With the news of over 800 layoffs, it's a hard pill to swallow that there is already talk of bringing new faces in especially while so many Blizzard / Activision employees are suddenly faced with the unknown.
Amidst these layoffs, Activision Blizzard has increased the dividends it is paying to its shareholders by nine percent from 2018. Indeed, investors will be looking to whether the Santa Monica, California-based company posts strong digital revenues and growing profit margins following months of stock declines.

Get Busy Focusing on YOUR Economy!
The media seems obsessed with talking about when THE economy will improve. As a result, too many people are watching instead of actively making the best of their own opportunities. They forget that free enterprise all but ensures expansion and contraction of the economy. As with the economy, the ebb and flow of the positive and negative in our lives can't be avoided. The great game of business will continue to produce a new set of winners and losers. The market will go up, and it will go down. Your life will have tragic moments and endearing, precious ones as well. Success is learning how to handle and make the best of both.
As I noted in The Optimism Advantage, Laker Coach Phil Jackson, the most winning coach in NBA finals history, has challenged players and leaders alike to take the middle path: "I got to watch him (Red Holzman, former coach of the New York Knicks) very closely. He talked philosophy with me, and he talked about the importance of staying not too high, not too low and not letting victories or defeats send you tumbling one way or the other. He believed in what was called the middle path." Never get too engrossed in setbacks, nor get too excited about the latest victory. After all, whether as a company or as an individual, you don't just want one good year. Any team wants a sustainable dynasty that finds a way to get beyond any setbacks to win year after year. Coach Jackson never over-coaches or micro-manages his players. He lets them play through the tough runs to gain confidence in their own abilities to bounce back. In short, whether leading others or managing yourself, be a "perspective leveler." Be humble about success and don't let overconfidence in the good times set the stage for complacency. Be confident in the face of setbacks. You've bounced back in the past, and you'll do it again.
Harry Truman put it well: "A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties." Even if you've been on the receiving end of terrible losses, abuse, crimes or cancer — don't label yourself as a victim. You are a survivor. You control the resilience, resourcefulness, and persistence you demonstrate in the face of any adversity. You also control your initiative and innovation in turning your happy accidents and unexpected opportunities into satisfying achievements. Adversity need not define you; instead, it can refine you. If you are still alive, you are not a victim. You are a survivor of all that has happened. Choose earned optimism over any form of victim thinking. Keep your focus on finding and capitalizing on the opportunities that are out there even in tough economies.

Southern Miss stuns Louisiana Tech with wild comeback victory
RUSTON, Louisiana — Southern Miss still has Louisiana Tech's number.
Down 27-16 with 87 seconds left in the game, the Golden Eagles rallied to beat the Bulldogs 34-27 in two overtimes.
USM got a 49-yard field goal from Parker Shaunfield which cut the deficit to 8. Paxton Schrimsher recovered the subsequent onside kick and Keon Howard's 22-yard touchdown pass to Korey Robertson set up the sophomore quarterback's successful 2-point conversion pass to Jay'Shawn Washington, tying things up 27-27.
Louisiana Tech started the overtime period with possession but QB J'Mar Smith was intercepted by Tarvarius Moore. But then Howard threw an interception which sent the game into double overtime.
Howard again hooked up with Robertson, this time from 25 yards out, to put Southern Miss up 34-27. The Golden Eagle defense shut Louisiana Tech down on its possession in the second overtime period to preserve the win. It's Southern Miss' third win in a row and third straight over Louisiana Tech.
The Golden Eagles improve to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Conference USA, moving into a first-place tie with North Texas which lost 69-31 at FAU Saturday.
In Howard's fourth start of the season, the former Laurel star produced mixed results. He completed 32-of-53 pass attempts for 301 yards and threw three touchdowns and two interceptions. Nine different Southern Miss receivers caught at least one pass.
Southern Miss handled the majority of its business in the first half, which was interrupted by a 50-minute lightning delay. Everywhere except the scoreboard, that is.

The Golden Eagles trailed 17-10, despite leading the time of possession battle by almost 10 minutes and outgaining Louisiana Tech 199-181. The difference, though, was an interception Howard threw to Darryl Lewis, who returned it 63 yards for a touchdown that put the Bulldogs up 17-10.
The pick-6, the first Southern Miss has given up since 2014, marred an otherwise effective first half for Howard who was 13-of-22 for 126 yards and a touchdown to go along with 20 yards rushing on six carries. The touchdown pass, a 23-yard catch-and-run by Ito Smith, tied the game 10-10 in the second quarter.
Smith finished the first half with 88 yards of total offense but did not return in the second due to an unspecified injury.
In Smith's absence, junior Tez Parks received the bulk of the carries and was effective. After gaining 11 yards on three carries in the first half, he registered 38 on six carries in the third quarter alone. Parks also caught a pair of passes for 23 yards in the third.
Louisiana Tech took an early 3-0 lead on a 23-yard field goal by Jonathan Barnes. The Bulldogs drove inside the Southern Miss 10-yard line on its first offensive possession, aided in large part by a 45-yard run by Boston Scott. On third-and-goal at the 2, Cornell Armstrong dropped Kam McKnight for a loss of 3 yards which forced the field goal attempt.
The bulk of Louisiana Tech's success on offense in the first half came on the ground. Skip Holtz's team ran the ball 18 times for 128 yards. Meanwhile, Jay Hopson's defense put the clamps on Smith, a former Meridian star. Smith completed just four passes for 53 yards.
The Golden Eagles host UAB (4-3, 2-2) at 6 p.m. Saturday. The game will not be televised.

Hey guys! I wanted to show you my great mid-month find. This is from a local nail polish brand called "Sassy Colors" and they certainly have the coolest color range. I got this blue one. Actually, labeled "Sapphire" and the reason I bought this one is because of its vibrant color and very affordable price for only PHP 23.70 (0.58 USD). I tell you, that was a great deal! Imagine the price and not to mention the great quality.
So, here is a closer look at the bottle.
First, I applied two coats of the polish and then added a last coat to achieve this vibrant shade.
There you go. Anyone can rock this amazing color from Sassy Colors.
**available at your local department stores in the Philippines. I am not sure if their company is exporting it to other countries.

About Last Night: Canes bend but don't break, win in overtime
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Calgary Flames 2-1 in overtime Thursday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in an evenly matched game between the two clubs.
By Ryan Henkel Dec 10, 2021, 11:12am EST
Share All sharing options for: About Last Night: Canes bend but don't break, win in overtime
Photo by Gerry Thomas/NHLI via Getty Images
In the first meeting in almost exactly two years between the Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames, it was the Canes that came out victorious in the end.
On the surface, the 2-1 final score was exactly what you'd expect from two teams that were ranked first and second in goals allowed heading into the game, but high-danger chances were popping up all night.
A perfect penalty kill, clutch saves and weaponized star power are just a few of the key talking points from last night.
Penalty Killing
I mean… what else is there to say?
After the humongous five-minute major penalty kill in the third period Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Canes followed it up with a perfect 5-for-5 performance on the kill Thursday night. In fact, the Hurricanes didn't even allow a single shot on goal until the Flames' fourth power play opportunity.
Even in the most pressing times, namely the final penalty that was split evenly between the end of regulation and the beginning of overtime, Carolina's kill did not waiver.
"I think we're well prepared and work really hard," said Frederik Andersen after the game, on what makes the kill so good. "And we're detailed. I think that's really the major keys to that. Tonight was great. The other night was really good as well. We're not really letting them sit up, which is great. I think that's the best way to defend it, to not even give them a sniff in the zone. I have really big respect for the work that they've put in."
It's an all hands on deck affair that has become on of the crucial cruxes of the team's overall success.
The Hurricanes are still one of the most penalized teams in the league (4.29 penalties taken per 60), but with the second best penalty kill in the league (87.6%), it seems like almost a trivial matter.
Oh yeah, and they have been doing this without one of the league's best defensive defensemen, Brett Pesce, who is now out of COVID protocol, but won't be able to join the team while it's in Canada.
There's nothing else you can say about this penalty kill except that greatness is now the expectation.
Goal Prevention
At five-on-five though, there was a bit more 'bending' to be done by the Hurricanes as Calgary was getting seemingly a bit higher danger chances when the Canes weren't in kill mode.
Especially in the third period, were tied 1-1, a couple of Hurricanes had to do their best goaltending impressions.

"The guys made some great plays on those," Andersen said. "It went in behind me. But that's awesome. I'll take the help sometimes. Just great plays."
Reminds me of Justin Faulk in his final year with Carolina just completely buying in for the Canes and making those big saves.
But that's what you need in this league to be successful. Never quitting on pucks.
Sometimes pucks are going to squeeze through your goalies and it's up to the guys on the ice to be there to help him out.
Also, the Jaccob Slavin save was even more relieving after having seen two own-goals just a week ago.
They're Your Best Players for a Reason
Sebastian Aho is the Carolina Hurricanes' best player hands down, bar none and has been for the last five years.
He just creates chances and has a knack for finding the soft spots out on the ice.
His motor never quits, he wants to win all the time and he does what is needed of him in all three zones and in every situation.
The goals just make it all the better.
For his first of the night, he sets up the goal himself by threading a pass through traffic back to the blueline where Slavin collects it and then gets it back to Aho, who found the soft coverage, for the deflection in. All while he is battling off a defender draped all over him.
"Quit" is not in Fishy's dictionary pic.twitter.com/kVkhTfYDsm
And then on the game winner, he just simply blows past Elias Lindholm and takes it to the net. What was even more impressive is that he loses the puck after his hip is nudged from behind, but he is able to relocate it on Jacob Markstrom's pad and get his stick on it, all in a split-second.
Elite, elite level talent.
"That's your best player," said Rod Brind'Amour on Aho after the game. "We rely on him to do a lot of things, and he came through for us tonight when I think a lot of guys were just having off nights. It was just hard to get anything kind of generated. Sometimes that's what happens. Sometimes the best player just has to take over."
Jaccob Slavin was also on one last night, just two seconds shy of playing half the entire game.
It was his first game of the season playing above 30 minutes and fifth time logging over 27 minutes in a game, and if you weren't aware, he was one of the players battling through a non-COVID illness about a week ago.
He is a crucial fixture on the penalty kill, constantly pitted against the oppositions' best and his offense is starting to build up, even generating some quality looks on the power play.
"I'm not more impressed or anything because I can't be more impressed about an individual," Brind'Amour said on Slavin after the game. "It's just icing on the cake that he can do this. Obviously it's not something we want to do, but we're missing some great players. To hang around missing some of the guys we are says a lot about him because he's doing a lot of the work, but just our group in general."
To cap it off, Frederik Andersen had another solid outing in net even despite a few close calls. He turned aside 26 shots and was perfect on the penalty kill and even stopped a penalty shot against old friend, Noah Hanifin.
According to MoneyPuck.com, Andersen saved 1.08 goals above expected making this game a steal of a win for him and the Canes.
