Second generation Bronco developed under the NOGS program. The D-model was an extensively modified OV-10A airframe, adding a forward-looking infrared night-vision system with a turret-mounted camera under an extended nose, visually distinct from the short rounded nose of the A-model. The D also has bigger engines and larger fiberglass propellers. Other noticeable external differences are the chaff dispensers installed midway down the booms and infrared-suppressive exhaust stacks (which mix the exhaust with colder air to reduce the aircraft's heat signature). 17 modified from OV-10A.

OV-10T
Proposed cargo version of the OV-10, capable of carrying 8-12 troops or 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg) of cargo, studied during the Vietnam War but not proceeded with.
OV-10X
Proposed version for the USAF's Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance contract. In 2009 Boeing put together plans internally to build a modernized, improved version of the Bronco, called the OV-10X,[54] to satisfy a possible Air Force requirement for a light attack plane. According to Pentagon and industry officials, while the aircraft would maintain much of its 1960s-vintage rugged external design, modernizations would include a computerized glass cockpit, intelligence sensors and smart-bomb-dropping capabilities. Boeing indicates that international interest in restarting production is growing, to compete with other light attack aircraft such as the T-6B Texan II, A-67 Dragon and EMB 314 Super Tucano.

Professor Mike Lord Comments on the Krispy Kreme's Choice for President & COO
11.29.2011 Article, Faculty News, Retail
Former FedEx executive joins Krispy Kreme
Reposted from Winston-Salem Journal | by John Hinton
Kenneth A. May, a former executive with FedEx Corp., has joined Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. of Winston-Salem as its new president and chief operating officer.
May, 51, will report to Jim Morgan, the company's chief executive, and will be responsible for the company's operating segments, Krispy Kreme said in a news release.
Company officials created the position for May, said Brian Little, a Krispy Kreme spokesman.
May said he looks forward to working at the company, which recently announced plans to expand in the United Kingdom.
"Being invited to join Krispy Kreme and be a part of taking this iconic brand to the next level is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," May said in a statement.
May had served as president and chief executive officer of FedEx Kinko's office and print centers, and led the integration of Kinko's into FedEx. He was responsible for the strategic direction, growth and development for more than 1,800 retail locations and 22,000 employees in 11 countries, and $2 billion in revenue.
May also held other positions throughout FedEx, including senior vice president of U.S. operations for FedEx Express, Fed-Ex's largest division with more than 62,000 employees.
He served recently as president of ES3 LLC of Keene, N.H., a logistics company that uses advanced robotic technology to make supply chain operations more efficient and profitable for manufacturers and retailers.
Morgan said May's experience and corporate leadership will benefit Krispy Kreme because he understands the company's mission.
"It was critical that we seek out someone with a unique combination of big-brand experience, retail customer engagement, proficiency in delivering quality products and services," Morgan said in a statement. "We were able to find all of those qualifications in Ken May."
Michael Lord, an associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at Wake Forest University, said May is an interesting choice for Krispy Kreme.
"Operations experience clearly was a factor," Lord said. "The company's past difficulties stemmed not so much from marketing, but rather more involved some critical operating and financial issues. They still have a good brand and a great product."
Krispy Kreme's share price rose 7.75 percent (or 49 cents) to close Monday at $6.81.

2000 Rupees Note: RBI New Series of Bank Notes Said PM Modi
Trending June 29, 2017
Reserve Bank of India has just announced new 2000 rupees note. On 8th October 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a new rs.2000 letter "R" series of bank notes. These note will be released publicly on 11 November 2016. This decision has taken by Indian RBI Governor Mr. Urjit R. Patel.
Not only this, RBI has also announced that the 500 and 1000 rupee note denomination notes will be forfeited with effect from 9 November 2016. As these notes are demonetized, that's why Rs. 500 and Rs.1000 notes will be out of circulation from 11th November 2016.
2000 Rupees Note First Look
2000 rupees note is designed with pink colored layout as you can see in below images. The 2000 rupees note has printed image of Mahatma Gandhi Ji and a Mangalyaan at the back of the note. The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue ₹ 2000 denomination banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series, with the inset letter 'R', bearing signature of Dr. Urjit R. Patel, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and the year of printing '2016' printed on the reverse of the banknote.
New Notes of 1000 Rupees Will Soon Be Replacing 2000 Rupee Notes
The biggest news of 2017 is here! According to some sources, there is a very high probability of the replacement of new notes of 2000 INR. Some claim that soon 1000 rupee notes will again flourish in the markets and 2000 notes will bid adieu to the Indian Economy.
It will come into effect after 1 January. Since demonetization, RBI has launched new notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2000 in the market and they are being exchanged at banks and ATMs. But are these notes only available till 1 January? Will they lose their legality in 2017?
These pink-colored notes were rumored to be having a nano GPS chip which could give out signals if one keeps them in large numbers. If the news of their departure is real then these notes will surely be replaced with 1000 INR again.
According to the headlines, time of 2000 rupee notes in the Indian economy is over and government is ready to launch 1000 notes in its place after 1 January.
Picture of new 1000 rupees are going viral on social media and people are also believing in this. Another reason for people believing intoit is that on 10th of November, Shaktikant Das, the current revenure secretary of the department, said that soon 1000 notes will come into the market with slight changes.
Nano GPS Technology: The Rs. 2000 note has nano GPS system which enables tracking of this note with some frequency range. This may be a rumor, however i will confirm that later.
Durable Paper Quality: Unlike other denomination older notes, this note has better durability. This note can easily survive for several years.
Unique Designs: The new ₹ 2000 banknotes are different from the earlier specified bank note (SBN) series in colour, size, theme, location of security features and design elements.

What is the Benefits of New Rs.2000 Note
2000 rupees note is the highest value note ever issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in any decade. This note will help you to make higher transaction because you don't need to carry bulky amount of cash. Moreover the introduction of this note will fight against corruption such as black money as there is no rs.500 and rs.1000 notes in the economy right now.
Some agency were illegally printing fake notes of conventional denomination of 500 and 1000. Seems like, they have to shut down their business because new 2000 rupees note comes with completely revamped design and official properties.
Today's Latest News From RBI
Latest: RBI has banned/demonetized all rs.500 and rs.1000 notes starting from 9th November 2016.

PM Narendra Modi announced that all the Online transactions, electronic funds, DD, Check and non-cash payments would remain functioning.
What is the First Step To Save My Money?
Okay, this is very simple.
Just collect for all rs.500 or rs.1000 notes in your home or office. Finally when you done collecting, make a bundle of Rs.4000 maximum on by one. Now take these bundles to your nearest bank or regional post office (only one bundle per day) along with your Aadhar card or PAN card. Their officials will convert your older notes with new bank note series. Probably, you may also receive 2000 rupees note or rs.100 notes.
What Happens to Other Denominations?
On the other hand, all small value notes such as rs.1 rs.5, rs.10, rs.20, rs.50 and rs.100 notes can still be used as normal practices. This also includes coins of Rs.1 rs.2 rs.5 and rs.10. So still you can freely use all these currency that i have mentioned above.
If you are looking for specific help regarding this topic, then ask me anything regarding this post down on the comment box. I will try to help you by answering your questions individually.
Today I Will Show How Middle & Lower Class People Suffer from Modi's Decision:-
'Poor, middle class hit by Modi's decision' – Yes, this line is absolutely right. Poor and middle class people stands in a line from last 4 hours in front of bank to exchange his money. What you think is it comes bank to exchange large amount. If you think like this so you are wrong here. The queues are getting longer and angrier, and despite the government's loud promises, banks and ATMs are quickly running out of cash. Limits on cash withdrawals are not helping matters much.
After several unsuccessful visits to overcrowded banks and empty cash machines, many ordinary people are living on a wing and a prayer.
Some funny jokes are also available in the market in this Decision:-
Please read my favourite story of a doctor who had some cash at home which he planned to turn over to the bank, and then he was shocked when he looked at almirah. What he saw on Almirah " He was saw that his wife kept 6 times more cash as compared to doctor's cash in almirah". How funny is this. But after reading these types of story what you think that the pain of lower class family is less. So, wake up guys he still suffer from this Black Money Operation. So, government should have to take some decision to relieve some pain of poor class people.

It is often an extreme colonizer of casing (peat and coco) and encapsulates everything available with a dense myclium prior to it's first fruiting cycle. This strain typically produces a larger overall yield as well as quantity of individual mushrooms (compared with the Amazonian), but spread out over more flushes. In fact this strain flushes and flushes and flushes, with little time in between each flush. Also known to produce occassional albinos.
Above average in vitro (in the bag) fruiting. Also fruits well on BRF, on grain, and on pasteurised or sterilized substrates (i.e.compost ,straw, etc.). Loves the outdoors!

Supreme Court Rules Parents Have Rights, Too
On Monday, May 21, 2007, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling of significance to parents. The case is Winkelman v. Parma School District, U.S.S.C. Docket No. 05-983 (May 21, 2007).
These are the facts. Jacob Winkelman is a six-year old child with autism spectrum disorder. Both the parents and the school district agreed that he is covered by the IDEA. The parents participated in the process of formulating the IEP and, when, in the parents' view, the school district failed to provide Jacob with the free appropriate public education mandated by IDEA, the parents sought a due process hearing. The Supreme Court noted that All concede that Jacob's parents had the statutory right to contribute to this [IEP] process and, when agreement could not be reached, to participate in administrative proceedings including what the Act refers to as an 'impartial due process hearing.'
The due process hearing resulted in a ruling with which the parents disagreed. Without retaining counsel, they filed suit on behalf of Jacob and themselves in a United States District Court to recover the costs of Jacob's private school placement. The Court found that Jacob had received a free appropriate public education. The Winkelmans then appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. This Court ruled that the Winkelmans' suit should be dismissed because they were not represented by counsel. The United States Supreme Court decided to hear the case because different circuit courts of appeal had decided the question in different ways.
The Court framed the issue before it this way. The question is whether parents, either on their own behalf or as representatives of the child, may proceed in court unrepresented by counsel though they are not trained or licensed as attorneys.
The Supreme Court agreed that the parents could proceed without attorneys and reversed and remanded the case to the Sixth Circuit. The opinion was written by Mr. Justice Kennedy on behalf of the Court. Mr. Justice Scalia and Mr. Justice Thomas agreed with the result but not the reasons for this action.
The Supreme Court concluded that an examination of the IDEA provisions recognized extensive parental participation in the IEP development and administrative disputes resolution process. The IDEA, ruled the Court, expressly states that, the IDEA was adopted to ensure that the rights of children with disabilities and parents of such children are protected. 20 U.S.C. §1400(d)(1)(B). As a result, parents have independent, enforceable rights under IDEA. These IDEA rights are part of the larger package of rights which parents have to guide the education of their children.
Under the Court's ruling, both the parents and the child have a right to have FAPE provided to the child as well as the procedural rights to participate in the IEP formulation and disputes process. Justices Scalia and Thomas disagreed that the parents had a right to have their child provided with FAPE but agree that the parents had procedural rights to participate in actions such as IEP formulations, under IDEA.
Most parents choose to litigate using the services of an attorney, but this ruling provides relief to those parents who seek to proceed without one.

Valproate for preventing migraine attacks in adults
Various medicines, collectively termed 'antiepileptics', are used to treat epilepsy. For several years, some of these drugs have also been used for preventing migraine attacks. For the present review, researchers in The Cochrane Collaboration reviewed the evidence about the effects of valproate (valproic acid or sodium valproate or a combination of the two) in adult patients (≥ 16 years of age) with 'episodic' migraine (headache on < 15 days per month). They examined research published up to 15 January 2013 and found 10 relevant studies. Compared with placebo, valproate reduced the frequency of migraine headaches by approximately four per month (two studies, 63 participants). Patients were also more than twice as likely to reduce the number of their migraine headaches by 50% or more with valproate than with placebo (five studies, 576 participants). Side effects associated with valproate were common but generally mild; valproate can, however, cause birth defects and so should be used with caution in women of childbearing age. Further research is needed comparing valproate with other active drugs used for preventing migraine attacks.
Authors' conclusions:
Valproate is effective in reducing headache frequency and is reasonably well tolerated in adult patients with episodic migraine.
Read the full abstract...
Some antiepileptic drugs but not others are useful in clinical practice for the prophylaxis of migraine. This might be explained by the variety of actions of these drugs in the central nervous system. The present review is part of an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2004, and previously updated (conclusions not changed) in 2007.
To describe and assess the evidence from controlled trials on the efficacy and tolerability of valproate (valproic acid or sodium valproate or a combination of the two) for preventing migraine attacks in adult patients with episodic migraine.
Search strategy:
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; The Cochrane Library 2012, Issue 12), PubMed/MEDLINE (1966 to 15 January 2013), MEDLINE In-Process (current week, 15 January 2013), and EMBASE (1974 to 15 January 2013) and handsearched Headache and Cephalalgia through January 2013.
Studies were required to be prospective, controlled trials of valproate taken regularly to prevent the occurrence of migraine attacks, to improve migraine-related quality of life, or both.
Data collection and analysis:
Two review authors independently selected studies and extracted data. For headache frequency data, we calculated mean differences (MDs) between valproate and comparator (placebo, active control, or valproate in a different dose) for individual studies and pooled these across studies. For dichotomous data on responders (patients with ≥ 50% reduction in headache frequency), we calculated odds ratios (ORs) and, in select cases, risk ratios (RRs); we also calculated numbers needed to treat (NNTs). We calculated MDs for Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) scores. We also summarised data on adverse events from placebo-controlled trials and calculated risk differences (RDs) and numbers needed to harm (NNHs).
Main results:
Ten papers describing 10 unique trials met the inclusion criteria. Analysis of data from two trials (63 participants) showed that sodium valproate reduced headache frequency by approximately four headaches per 28 days as compared to placebo (MD -4.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) -8.32 to -0.30). Data from four trials (542 participants) showed that divalproex sodium (a stable combination of sodium valproate and valproic acid in a 1:1 molar ratio) more than doubled the proportion of responders relative to placebo (RR 2.18; 95% CI 1.28 to 3.72; NNT 4; 95% CI 2 to 11). One study of sodium valproate (34 participants) versus placebo supported the latter findings (RR for responders 2.83; 95% CI 1.27 to 6.31; NNT 3; 95% CI 2 to 9). There was no significant difference in the proportion of responders between sodium valproate versus flunarizine (one trial, 41 participants) or between divalproex sodium versus propranolol (one trial, 32 participants). Pooled analysis of post-treatment mean headache frequencies in two trials (88 participants) demonstrates a slight but significant advantage for topiramate 50 mg over valproate 400 mg (MD -0.90; 95% CI -1.58 to -0.22). For placebo-controlled trials of sodium valproate and divalproex sodium, NNHs for clinically important adverse events ranged from 7 to 14.

Q: Disassembling. Why? I've taken a small free to use 15kb program and successfully dumped an uncompressed version of it into a new exe (sizing to approximately 56kb) (orig. packaged in UPX) I then loaded it into IDA Pro, and after quickly clicking away the message to tell me the imports are screwed up (which is weird cause I used OllyDump's option to fix the import table) I was brought to this screen
Is This Machine Code? http://imageshack.us/a/img401/9302/68696520.png
Is this Assembly or Machine Code? Ok its not machine code but is this considered Assembly? is a assembly file written with these hex numbers or whatever they are on the left hand side of the debugger?
http://imageshack.us/a/img526/548/23865356.png
Hey public start. looks familiar.
http://imageshack.us/a/img217/9457/62998986.png
If this is machine code. Is there a way for people to get machine code into ASM code? And after you get ASM code what are the possibilities?
If reversing back to source code is so difficult or nearly impossible (as stated in a few google search results) why are people disassembling programs in the first place?
I would like to learn more about the whys here. I was only inspired to do this since the code i'm picking through is a really cute little program that I would like to learn from and read through as I'm a beginner aspiring to be expert programmer.

A: It's assembly language (ASM).
People disassemble programs to see how they work. If you have enough patience, and learn the language of the CPU in question, you can read this code just like any programming language.  It takes a lot of practice, but it is not impossible to figure out how a program works by reading the ASM.
Turning it back into source code is entirely possible given the right knowledge and tools, especially if the program was generated using a popular compiler.

The trees glistened with lights, shiny balls and angels. Specialty ornaments including birds, animals, sports team logos and cartoon characters lined the walls of the building. From somewhere above, Christmas music rang through the air as workers filled boxes with orders.
"We have been able to gather ornaments from around the world. We carry mostly glass, porcelain and china but we can obtain other materials if required. What can we do to help you Santa?" A stout man, the owner of the Christmas ornament factory, leaned against a forklift and smiled. He glanced down at Jessie and shuffled a little away from her.
Jessie sniffed. She could smell the man's fear and didn't understand it. She wagged the tip of her tail and moved closer to the man.
Santa intercepted Jessie and gently pulled her leash towards him.
"What are you going to do, Santa? Hit me?" The man grinned and rolled up his sleeves exposing large muscles on his arms. He hoarsely laughed and spat on the cement floor.
"Pshaw. You can't ruin my business. Your just a tired old man. Now get out of my factory before I have you thrown out." The man motioned to a couple of guards who sat at a table to come forward.

architecture in portugal surveys the contemporary condition of the country's built environment, showcasing a range of innovative projects and the diverse materials and unconventional forms employed in their construction.
fernando guerra is a portuguese architectural photographer. he opened studio FG+SG together with his brother, and both are responsible in large part for the diffusion of portuguese contemporary architecture in the last fifteen years.
mário martins atelier has designed 'casa elíptica,' located on a naturally sloping terrain in luz, portugal. the scheme, photographed here by fernando guerra, evokes the fluidity and lightness of the coastal area while embracing the natural, curvilinear shapes of the landscape.
the unified interior and exterior spaces are both an intense white, a characteristic of many homes that extend along the seaside slope. mário martins atelier has sought to create a connection with the existing, neighboring house to the east, relating back to the concept of 'balance' which lies at the foundation of the design. this sense of equilibrium can be found throughout the structure. the density of the elliptical base contrasts greatly against the oculus that floats above the outdoor patio area — creating a dynamic relationship between both positive and negative spaces, density and airiness, and light and shade.

Government Accountability Office (GAO) Validates Operation Identification
A proven strategy —
The criminology theory that holds MyPropertyID together is Operation Identification. Even though Operation ID is not widely known or used does not diminish its effectiveness when properly implemented. After being tested in 378 pilot projects from 1974 to 1978, at a cost of $100 million in 2018 money, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), informed the Attorney General of the United States Dept. of Justice that the approach was workable (Scan of original GAO Letter).
Today, burglaries are so routine that it is thought that half of victims don't even bother filing a police report. Be mindful that burglaries are not just about stolen valuables, but also about damaged property, frayed nerves and lost productivity. There are tens of billions of dollars to be saved if My Property ID Registry is widely adopted.
Big players endorse Operation Identification
In the age of the internet, Operation Identification has been rehabilitated, reinvigorate and is back in play. It is my hope that the organizations that originally showed interest in OperationID in 1979 will show interest in MyPropertyID today.

Home BUSINESS Cabinet approves doubling of funding to scientific research – Osafo Marfo
Cabinet approves doubling of funding to scientific research – Osafo Marfo
Yaw Osafo-Maafo – Senior Minister
Cabinet has approved fund for scientific research from existing 0.3 per cent, to one per cent to ensure more funding for research to aid development in the country.
The approval is yet to be endorsed by Parliament.
Mr Yaw Osafo Marfo, Senior Minister, who announced this at the "MESTI/CSIR Scientific and Life Time Recognition Awards", in Accra, said government was focused on providing the necessary support to drive research in the country.
"We have established a Research Fund in addition to the Book and Research Allowance enjoyed by lecturers of our universities.
"What this means is, a call for collaboration between the universities, the research institutions such as Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and industry, to give realization to research ideas and ensure that they see the light of day and are harnessed in effective ways towards nation-building.
"We will continue to provide the necessary support because we are unwavering in our belief that research is key to national development" Mr Osafo Marfo said.
He explained that the President's vision on the flagship One District One Factory, took cognizance of the fact that agriculture was the backbone of the economy, "and that, we cannot and must not, be producers and exporters of primary products alone.
"What we must seek to do is to pursue an active programme of industrialization by adding value to our products. This in turn means not only having a skilled and knowledgeable manpower base, but a strong scientific research backing to drive the value-added process envisioned under the 1D1F programmes."
The Senior Minister said if the idea of a Ghana Beyond Aid was to be realized, then, all must play their roles in ensuring that in core areas such as food and nutrition security, environmental management and industrialisation, "we are able to rely on our own resources".
He emphasized that the CSIR's Institutes and their human resources had key roles to play since it had been estimated that the CSIR agricultural innovations such as high-yielding, pest and disease resistant crop varieties and production practices have contributed to achieving significant increase in the production of some food and industrial crops.
"The significant role of CSIR in driving the government's Planting for Food and Jobs and Planting for Export and Rural Development programmes can therefore not be over emphasized… Agricultural research must be intensified," he said.
The awards programme, formed part of the activities to mark the 60th anniversary celebrations of CSIR.
The theme for the anniversary celebrations was: "CSIR- 60 Years of Research with Impact for Sustainable Development", and the awards was categorised into the Scientific Excellence, Champions of Science and Research, Dedicated Service in Research and Development, Industry Pillars as well as Directors on Retirement.
Among the awardees was the 94 year-old Dr Leticia Obeng, a Heroine scientist in Water and Environment, and the first Research staff to be recruited by the CSIR. She was also a Foundation Lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology as well as the first Female President of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Others included Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, who received a citation for scientific excellence in Medicine, Dr William Agble, a renowned Plant Breeder/ Physical Sciences, and Professor Felix Konotey Ahulu, for Medical Science.

Home Print Edition Archive October 2017 issue NBIM sticks to real estate
NBIM sticks to real estate
Meghan Morris
At the end of August, the chief executive of Norges Bank Investment Management, Yngve Slyngstad, suggested that expanding into other alternative asset classes, namely private equity and infrastructure, was not an "important question" for the $996 billion fund.
Slyngstad was responding to questions about whether Norway's Government Pension Fund Global, whose investments NBIM manages, should be allowed greater freedom to invest beyond its current parameters, which currently equate to 65.1 percent in equities; 32.4 percent in fixed income; and the little brother of the trio, 2.5 percent in real estate.
While folk in the private equity and infrastructure worlds took umbrage with Slyngstad's reasoning that the fund had missed the boat and was now too big, from a real estate perspective his comments show a vote of confidence for this asset class.
This commitment to real estate was further reinforced last month (September) with the hire of regional chief investment officers in the US and Europe. The Oslo-based fund hired from within, appointing Per Løken to lead its European activities and Romain Veber to take charge of US investment decisions. Løken and Veber previously headed up the fund's London and Paris activities, respectively.
NBIM's most recent CIO was Karsten Kallevig, who held the global role for five years before becoming chief executive for real estate in January 2016.
A spokesman for NBIM confirmed that the double appointment would not alter its real estate strategy. "The CIO position is not new, but the split is. The investment strategy is unchanged; we will invest at a steady pace. The investments will be split evenly between Europe and the US, and therefore dedicated CIOs are appointed in each market."
At present, NBIM's real estate allocation by region is 50.1 percent in Europe and 49.9 percent in the US.
To date, the fund has not made any real estate investments in Asia, where it has offices in Tokyo, Singapore and Shanghai and has been active in equities and fixed income. NBIM has previously expressed interest in the region's property markets, with Kallevig noting two years ago that the likely starting point would be either Japan or Singapore.
With a current 2.5 percent allocation to real estate and a five-year mandate to invest up to 5 percent in the asset class, NBIM's two new hires will have around $25 billion at their disposal between them.
Despite its size, NBIM is a relative newcomer to the real estate world, having only made its debut in 2011, following its 2007 announcement that it would be allocating a maximum of 5 percent of its investable capital in the asset class.
Its first property deal was a 25 percent stake in London's Regent Street, acquired from the Crown Estate for £452 million ($595 million; €497 million). Its debut on American shores came two years later, when it bought a 49.9 percent share of five office properties in New York, Washington DC and Boston from TIAA.
The fund's biggest deals to date, in the US and Europe respectively, were a $1.5 billion office portfolio purchase from Boston Properties in 2014 and a €1 billion acquisition of a Paris office from Trajan in 2016.
As of September 11, Norway's sovereign wealth fund was valued at $996 billion. During the second quarter, GPFG generated an overall 2.6 percent return, while equities, fixed-income and unlisted real estate returned 3.4 percent, 1.1 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively.

Baby Budget - Learn Just How Much a Baby Costs and Tips to Cut Costs.
As a mom of four, I can tell you there are several aspects to a baby's budget and realistically, that budget expands to what you have and are willing to spend. We'll look at the minimum costs that you will have to budget for your baby in the first year.
The average cost of a child in its first year is roughly $6,000. And, to be honest with you, most new parents don't allow for that figure in their budget.
Costs associated with a new baby are easy to underestimate since we tend to think such a 'tiny thing' won't cost that much.
$1000 on other nursery furniture and decorations - changing table, chair, side table, bedding, etc.
Well, the good news if you have more kids, your first year's baby budget won't need to be as high since you can re-use some of this stuff.
There are also hidden costs to having a baby and to some extent these vary from family to family and it does depend on whether this is your first child or not.
These costs may include some of the following, and in some cases additional help will be provided by grandparents, but the costs should be factored in as there is no guarantee that grandparents will always be there.
Loss of earnings as a result of time off either through ill health of the child or unpaid maternity leave.
Before getting pregnant, it's a good idea to research the impact that a baby will have on your family finances. If most people did this they may not have a child, but by being forewarned at least you won't be surprised by the impact to your finances.
If nothing else this exercise will help you work out how much of your monthly finances will go towards raising your new baby. And, just because you have a baby budget of the cost for the first year of life doesn't mean that it has to cost that much. The purpose of your budget is to get you to reflect on where you would like to make cuts. Substantial savings can be made, for instance you can look for hand-me-downs from friends and relatives. See my page on cheap home furniture for some great ways to save money on baby furniture.
The purpose of this baby budget is to give you a realistic view of what a new baby is going to cost you and to help you decide what you have to have for your peace of mind for your new baby. In other words, what are your baby's basic needs going to be? What 'baby stuff' can you not live without? And, ultimately, if you want to save as much money as you can with a baby budget, you're going to have to get back to basics with no frills when it comes to outfitting your baby's first year. This is really hard when there are so many cute things out there for a baby. But, don't fret, more than likely, you'll receive a lot of cute things as gifts for you and your baby.
Bottom line, to save money, learn to eliminate things you can do without. Use this baby budget building exercise as a tool to help you weed out any unnecessary baby items.
This baby budget is based on your individual circumstances and needs and once this baby budget is in place for the first year of your child's life, then this formula can be used again and again as your child grows and their needs change.

Lazard's High-Priced Real Estate Bargain
Friday, March 25, 2011 (All day)
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/03/25/lazards-high-priced-real-estate-bargain/
Manhattan's high-end rental market has remained remarkably resilient, rising even amid a nationwide real estate slump. But the investment bank Lazard is still getting a deal on a luxury apartment it rents for one of its directors, Vernon E. Jordan Jr.
Mr. Jordan, a Washington lawyer and well-known confidante of President Bill Clinton, has been with Lazard since 2000 — pulling down seven figures in cash, stock and perks for years. In 2010, Mr. Jordan collected $500,000 in salary, a cash bonus of $1.08 million, an estimated $1.08 million in restricted stock and $527,344 in perks and other benefits,Lazard disclosed in its annual proxy filing.
He also gets "priority" use of a corporate apartment. Last year, Lazard spent $288,000 to put Mr. Jordan up. His free housing has been noted in the past, but what is striking is that the cost has not become more expensive. The $288,000 is the same price that Lazard paid in 2006, according to regulatory filings.
This is a bargain by Manhattan real estate standards. Since then, luxury rental prices in the borough have increased 3.5 percent to $65.77 a square foot, from $63.53 a square foot in early 2007, according to data from Miller Samuels, a Manhattan real estate appraisal firm.
Chances are good that Lazard has locked in a long-term lease on the apartment, compensation experts say. Since companies must disclose their costs of executive benefits, rather than the value of a benefit to an executive, the number would not have changed even as the surrounding rents rose.
Of course, the apartment is still expensive when compared with the overall luxury housing market, since the rent is much more than the amount most New Yorkers pay. The $288,000 rental costs — assuming they are for the full year — amount to $24,000 a month. The median rent for all luxury rentals in Manhattan is roughly $6,750 a month, according to Miller Samuel.
But even as Lazard's rental costs remained the same, the firm and Mr. Jordan managed to cut their tax bills on his luxury pad. The Internal Revenue Service counts the apartment as a type of compensation — for which Mr. Jordan is required to pay taxes. Lazard, in an unusually generous but not unheard-of move, footed his tax bill, which amounted to $217,356 in 2010, the same as in 2009. In 2006, the taxes came to $250,000.
It is not clear why the tax benefit would decline even as the cost of the apartment stayed level. Mr. Jordan's tax rate is not likely to have gone down, one compensation consultant notes, given his high income, and the top tax brackets have not fallen substantially in the last five years. Another possibility is that an earlier error in the calculations was later corrected, the consultant said.
A Lazard spokeswoman declined to comment on the arrangement.
Theo Francis is a senior reporter for the Web site Footnoted, a division of the financial information company Morningstar that scrutinizes corporate disclosures.
