After Mavi IPO, Turkven sets sights on bigger Medical Park listing, eyeing foreign investors
October 19 2017 14:26:00
ISTANBUL-Reuters
Turkish private equity firm Turkven plans to hold a public offering next year for nearly half of healthcare provider Medical Park Group, Turkven's chief executive said, a stake that might be worth close to $1 billion.
In an interview with Reuters, CEO Seymur Tari also said Turkven aimed for three to four acquisitions of $50 million to $400 million each in 2018 and hoped to start a new fund of more than $1 billion in one or two years.
Turkven completed an initial public offering of jeans brand Mavi in June, a 1.17 billion-lira ($334 million) floatation widely seen as a test of international demand for Turkish equities after last year's abortive coup attempt and the widespread political crackdown that followed.
"We opened a door with Mavi," Tari told Reuters.
"This will be the biggest IPO the market has seen in the recent years. We'll attract a lot of foreign investors to Turkey."
Jeans brand worn by celebrities
Since its June listing, shares of Mavi - a high-end jeans brand worn by celebrities such as Richard Branson and Kendall Jenner - have surged some 33 percent.
"The Medical Park offering will be three times the size of Mavi's," Tari said.
That would put the floatation at around $1 billion, potentially the sixth-largest Turkish IPO in history, just behind the $1.1 billion listing of Vakıf Bank in November 2004, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Medical Park Group is the largest private hospital chain in Turkey, with more than 15,000 employees and 4,900 beds in 29 hospitals. Funds managed by Turkven hold a 53.4 percent stake in the company.
Turkven, which was founded in 2000, now manages more than $2 billion in assets. In addition to Mavi, the company this year listed DP Eurasia in London. It operates Domino's Pizza franchises in Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
"We are less afraid of Turkey's risks than foreign investors," Tari said.
"So, we make better offers to companies. We've come to know Turkey better as we continued to invest."
He said the high growth of the companies Turkven invested in helped to mitigate chronic weakness in the lira currency, pointing to both of Turkven's recent listings.
"Mavi and DP are good examples of this," he said.
"If you invest in the correct companies, you multiply your investment by eight or nine, so the Turkish lira in itself doesn't constitute a problem."

Arian Kulp's Blog: Kickstarter success: Digispark received!
What an exciting day! I got my Digispark Arduino board the other day. I kicked in on Kickstarter for the reward level with two boards plus a few accessories. Everything is just as described in the pitch and I couldn't be happier. This is a tiny board at an equally tiny price.
It was $21 for two devices, and should be $8/chip in quantity in production. I can use the Arduino IDE, and power it directly from USB (or AC/DC USB charger adapter). It has six inputs/outputs, onboard LED, and supports emulation for mouse/keyboard/joystick with almost no effort. It's really an amazing little device and if you like hardware hacking, you need to get yourself one now.
So far I've done some simple keyboard prank stuff, the blinking light ("hello world" of Arduino I think), and done a pulsing buzzer. I have a cheap Bluetooth module and I plan on creating a simple interface from our treadmill to computer/phone. It's cheap enough to do that kind of thing!
Did you get one? What do you think?

An expert on leadership and positive psychology, Tal Ben-Shahar combines scientific studies, scholarly research, self-help guidance and spiritual principles to teach people how to optimise their success and happiness.
Tal is an author and lecturer. He taught two of the largest classes in Harvard University's history, Positive Psychology and The Psychology of Leadership and today consults and lectures around the world to executives in multi-national corporations, the general public, and at-risk populations.
The topics he lectures on include leadership, happiness, education, innovation, ethics, self-esteem, resilience, goal setting, and mindfulness. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, and have appeared on best-sellers lists around the world.
Tal is a serial entrepreneur, and is the co-founder and chief learning officer of Happiness Studies Academy, Potentialife, Maytiv, and Happier.TV.
The work of the leader has become increasingly challenging with the world changing at an unprecedented rate, economic crises, political strife, and market pressures – to name just a few of the moving components affecting the work environment. What are the characteristics that allow certain leaders to flourish in uncertain and constantly changing times?
Ben-Shahar looks through the lens of his SHARP model, which focuses on Strengths, Health, Absorption, Relationships, and Purpose to guide the actions of an effective leader. This presentation provides practical tools that allow leaders to bring out the best in themselves, their colleagues, and manage change – even in the most uncertain times.
Positive Psychology, "the scientific study of optimal human functioning," provides practical tools for better living. This new subfield within psychology is unique in that it creates a bridge between the Ivory Tower and Main Street – making rigorous academic ideas easily accessible.
In this session, Ben-Shahar discusses current research related to the science of happiness and introduces ideas and tools that can actually make you happier. He covers topics including giving ourselves the permission to be human, simplifying our lives, recognizing the mind-body connection, and re-focusing on the positive.
Most organizational and individual potential is untapped. Talented individuals are attracted to and thrive in organizations that bring out the best in them. Ben-Shahar discusses how leaders can create a positive environment that nurtures their inherent potential, as well as the potential in those with whom they work.
Ben-Shahar presents research and practices from the world of Appreciative Inquiry, and the Strengths-based Approach to Leadership and Organizational Development and illustrates how to blend them into an approach that underpins extraordinary rather than ordinary outcomes, and enables people to reach fulfillment, happiness, wellbeing, and success.

Hyde Park, which opened to the people in 1637, is the greatest of some regal stops in London that are joined with one another, framing one extensive green lung in the focal point of the city. The park is extremely popular for its Speaker's Corner. Hyde Park in London has something for the people. You can delight in swimming, sailing, cycling and skating. There are pitches for group amusements, tennis courts, tracks for stallion riding and a terrific kids' play yard.
Hyde Park fronts a zone of 625 sections of land, part into two pieces – Hyde Park legitimate just shapes the eastern half (350 sections of land). Anything west of the Serpentine is regarded as Kensington Gardens (275 sections of land). London's Hyde Park is one of the most amazing city stops in the planet.
The Park has two lakeside restaurants which are authorized and serve the whole lot from a several-course food to a snappy mug of java. Hyde Park is home to various interesting edifices and landmarks, for example The Serpentine Bridge, the Joy of Life wellspring and the really popular Archiles statue. Furthermore with the Diana Memorial Fountain and outside occasions all through the year, there's dependably something to see and do. In the event that you're out on the town on Sunday, head to Speaker's Corner to catch London's overwhelmingly vocal speakers apportion their suppositions with the planet.
Hyde Park was basically part of Henry VIII's chasing grounds back in the 1500s, however was opened to the people in the early 17th-century. The other half – Kensington Gardens – was opened to general society in 1841, throughout the rule of Queen Victoria. The other parks are the neighboring Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St. James' Park. Hyde park blankets more than 360 sections of land (142 hectares) and hosts numerous extensive occasions, incorporating festivals and shows.

Tiger Woods announced the 2011 Chevron World Challenge field and putt with local fans on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Tiger Woods returned to competition this past weekend, but he's not back yet.
This is how Tiger's year is going: A knucklehead in the gallery tossed a hotdog and bun in his direction on the seventh green during Sunday's final round of the Frys.com Open at CordeValle Golf Club in Northern California. On the bright side, the frankfurter wasn't loaded.
This is how Tiger's year is going: He shot 68-68-68 in his final three rounds at CordeValle to tie for 30th — and still dropped in the world rankings, from No. 51 to No. 52.
Why? Because the Madrid Masters (won by Englishman Lee Slattery) and Korea Open (won by Rickie Fowler) had stronger playing fields than the Frys.com, so only the top 29 players at CordeValle received world ranking points. Tiger just missed.
Well, at least Woods didn't miss the cut. Incredibly, it was his first made cut since the Masters in April. Think about that one. Injuries and WDs and limited-field events contributed to that stat, but it's startling nonetheless.
Woods also doesn't have to miss his own charity tournament, the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club in early December. Because he was ranked in the top 50 last month, he qualified — barely — to receive a sponsor's exemption to his own charity event, which benefits the Irvine-based Tiger Woods Foundation.
The other exemption is going to Bill Haas, newly crowned FedEx Cup champion. Woods announced the 18-player field Tuesday during a news conference at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, where he continued his image reparation by chatting with the media, shaking hands and posing for photos with fans and staging a putting contest for the public. At least he beat the winner of the putting contest, who now gets to walk inside the ropes with Tiger during the first round at Sherwood.
One of the first questions from the media was a logical one: Is he going to play in more tournaments in the future?
"I'm certainly going to play a full schedule next year. It's something I'm looking forward to," he said, adding that was his intention this year until leg injuries intervened.
He did not, however, explain why he doesn't keep playing this year, with two more Fall Series events on the schedule, if, indeed, he is making progress with his new swing.
We won't see him in competition again until the Australian Open next month and then the Presidents Cup, also Down Under. Until then, he'll be serving as host of a charity tournament at Pebble Beach and doing a series of exhibitions in Asia and Australia. Branding and endorsements still come ahead of honing the swing in competition, apparently.
Every time he returns to competition, it's called a comeback, but it says here Tiger won't really be back until he wins again. It'll be two winless years come November.
Gender equity: It somehow seemed fitting that the Cal State Fullerton men's and women's golf programs, which were resurrected in 2009-10 after being dormant for more than 20 years, picked up their first team victories last week in the same tournament.
Jason Drotter's men and Pearl Bonnani's women won their respective championships in the Firestone Grill Invitational at Monarch Dunes Golf Club in Nipomo, outside San Luis Obispo. There were 10 men's teams and seven women's teams competing.
Sophomore Mark Anguiano led the men by finishing even par over three rounds to tie for fourth among all individuals as the Titans won the team title by 18 strokes, ahead of nearest pursuers Utah Valley State, Seattle and UC Riverside.
Freshman Tisha Alyn Abrea tied for second overall to lead the Fullerton women to their maiden team title, four strokes ahead of runnerup Seattle. Fellow Big West members Cal State Northridge and host Cal Poly SLO finished third and fourth, respectively.
Freshman goes low: UC Irvine freshman Sarah Baek recently shot 69-76 for a third-place finish overall in her first collegiate tournament, helping the UCI women finish second behind University of San Francisco in the 10-team Wolf Pack Classic at Dayton Valley Golf Club in Nevada.
Baek's opening-round 69 was the 11th-best round posted in school history.
OC junior champs: Three county golf prodigies captured division championships during the International Junior Golf Tour's two-day event at Talega Golf Club in San Clemente over this past weekend.
Rito Armenta of San Juan Capistrano shot 76-75 to win the boys 15-19 division.
Samuel Schwartz of San Clemente shot 73-74 to win the boys under-14 division.
Avery French of Laguna Niguel shot 75-85 to win the girls under-19 division.

Stanley Choi Steps Down as International Entertainment Corp Chairman and Executive Director
Mike Johnson April 4, 2022 3 min read
Image Source: Inside Asian Gaming
Billionaire businessman and famous poker player, Stanley Choi Chiu Fai, has stepped down as Executive Director and Chairman of the board of Hong Kong-listed Asian gaming investor International Entertainment Corp (IEC) as of March 31, 2022. The company announced that Choi has resigned from both positions in order to dedicate more time to other commitments and confirmed this was not a conflict-driven move by board members, but one of his own volition.
Choi's Withdrawal Begins with Share Sale
As of late January 2022, Choi was no longer considered a substantial shareholder at IEC following a number of transactions and sales of his shares. In 2017, he acquired a 55.82% stake in IEC. In March 2021 he sold a 18.99% stake to Ho Wong Meng, IEC's chief executive officer, for HKD 228.8 million ($29.4 million) and in November 2021 he sold another 4.6% stake for HKD 24.6 million ($3.2 million) without disclosing the name of the purchaser. A few months later, he further reduced his stake to 18.75% in December 2021. The last transaction occurred in January 2022 when he signed a placing agreement with Head & Shoulders Securities Limited and dropped his holding to 4.87%.
Choi's departure was one of the changes on the IEC's board announced on Friday. IEC's CEO, Ho Wong Meng, will substitute Choi as Chairman of the board. Among the other changes was Eugene Ha Kee Choy's resignation as an independent non-executive director. Chung Dan and Aurelio Jr. Dizon Tablante were appointed as an independent non-executive director and executive director, respectively.
Allegedly, Choi was named one of the Asian investors who recently acquired a 27.7% stake in Playtech plc, an online gaming platform provider. The acquisition forced Australian gaming company Aristocrat Leisure Ltd to abandon its plans for a takeover of Playtech.
IEC to Obtain a Gaming License for Casino Operations in Manila
IEC reported on a company filing that the gaming company was discussing with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) the terms of its temporary gaming license to run a casino in Manila. In July 2021, IEC signed a cooperation agreement through its subsidiary Marina Square Properties (MSPI) with the government company for the development of its New Coast Hotel property in Manila. The gaming investor also plans to run casinos in Manila together with PAGCOR as part of their cooperation agreement.
IEC's activities include three main areas of business, namely the leasing of properties with entertainment equipment, hotel operations, and operations related to live poker events.

Eduardo Conrado, executive vice president of strategy and innovations for St. Louis-based Ascension, has shared several reactions to the Nov. 11 Wall Street Journal report that Ascension and Google began a secret partnership, coined Project Nightingale, in 2018 that allowed the tech giant to amass personal health information on millions of patients.
Becker's summarized the WSJ article here, noting the WSJ's reporting that the data collection was done covertly and Ascension physicians and patients across 21 states had not been informed about the data-sharing. This is a claim that Mr. Conrado challenges in his commentary.
Below is Mr. Conrado's commentary in full, which was first published on the Ascension website and can be found here. It was published by Becker's with Ascension's permission.
Many news outlets recently published stories about Ascension's collaboration with Google to create innovative systems to better serve the evolving needs of consumers, patients and caregivers. We want to clear up some inaccuracies in the reporting to set the record straight.
1. Anything but secret: Ascension's work with Google has been anything but secret. In fact, Google first announced its work with us in July, on its Q2 earnings call. Acute care administrative and clinical leaders across Ascension have been informed of the work, enterprisewide webinars have been held, and the clinical leaders of our employed physician group have been informed in detail about the project. In our deployment sites, front-line nurses and clinicians have not only been informed but have actively participated in the project.
2. The "secret" code name: For planning purposes, Ascension and Google named our collaboration Project Nightingale as a shorthand way of referring to it. The name reflects the work of Florence Nightingale, a trailblazing figure in nursing who greatly affected 19th- and 20th-century policies around proper care.
3. About the data: Ascension's clinical data, hosted in the Google Cloud Platform, is housed within an Ascension-owned virtual private space. Google is not permitted to use the data for marketing or research purposes and cannot combine the data with other consumer data it has collected.
4. And it's secure: All of Google's work with Ascension is in compliance with applicable regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and is covered by a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)that governs Protected Health Information (PHI). Any exchange of PHI in connection with this work is for the purpose of helping our providers support patient care. This is standard practice in healthcare, as patient data is frequently managed in electronic systems that nurses and doctors widely use to deliver patient care. Our data will always be separate from Google's consumer data, and it will never be used by Google for purposes such as targeting consumers for advertising.
5. One media outletpublished a chart that supposedly shows an Ascension process that could lead to billing for "more or different procedures." That's simply not the case. This collaboration is all about improving the lives of those we serve, not "billing more."
6. How we get there: Ascension is working with Google to address the interoperability challenges that currently exist with patient medical records to allow for easy, accurate and secure exchange of patient health information. The goal is to be able to pull clinical information from many different systems and sites of care into a consolidated view so caregivers are able to make the best decision for patients. The work we're doing includes developing new technologies that enable our clinicians to find important clinical information easier so patients can be assured their caregivers have access to the right information to provide safe, effective care.
7. The promise of AI: Artificial intelligence holds promise to help physicians more effectively and efficiently treat patients. Our products in development will help improve care delivery and address well-documented interoperability pain points within the healthcare system. Artificial intelligence/machine learning will help provide insights, with a licensed clinician always making the final treatment decisions.
8. Our focus: Our focus is extending care to those who need it, especially those who are poor and vulnerable. Ascension has a long history of serving communities. Last year, we provided $2 billion in care of persons living in poverty and other community benefit programs.
We selected Google to help us on our journey of transformation. As a Catholic health ministry, we conducted an Ethics Discernment to ensure this collaboration is aligned with our mission and values, and that it is consistent with our Catholic identity.
This is groundbreaking work that will improve the experience of patients and consumers, as well as caregivers. As we develop and implement these new tools, it will be easier for patients and consumers to engage with the healthcare system, empowering them to be proactively engaged in maintaining their health. Caregivers will have a more valuable experience, with technology helping them achieve new insights so they can better predict and manage patient needs.
We're excited about this opportunity to invest in technology-enabled services that address the toughest healthcare problems facing our nation and will help Ascension lead the transformation of healthcare.

A Personal Message from Robert A. Freitas Jr.
The first volume of Nanomedicine, by IMM Senior Research Fellow Robert A. Freitas Jr., was published by Landes Bioscience, a leading publisher of medical textbooks, in October 1999. The second volume was published by Landes Bioscience in October 2003.
Nanomedicine, Volume I: Basic Capabilities from Amazon.com
Nanomedicine, Volume IIA: Biocompatibility from Amazon.com
Nanomedicine, to be published in four volumes, is the first book to comprehensively address the technical issues involved in the medical applications of molecular nanotechnology and medical nanodevice design. Thanks to the generosity of Robert and his publisher, the book can be freely previewed online at http://www.nanomedicine.com.
The writing of Nanomedicine Volume I was partially funded through support from Foresight and the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing. A very successful fundraising drive in 1998 and another fundraising drive in 1999-2000 raised nearly $35,000 to support work on this project.
We're extremely pleased with the tremendous quantity and quality of the research that has already been done. Completion of the first half of the Nanomedicine book project represents a major accomplishment in itself. But this valuable work is not yet finished.
Continuing support is urgently needed for the completion of Volumes IIB and III of Nanomedicine. To ensure that work on this major project does not stop, we need to raise additional funding now. For this purpose, IMM is sponsoring a new fundraising drive with the goal of raising $30,000 in direct support to allow Freitas to continue his work during 2004. First round donations to the IMM Freitas Research Fund must be received by 31 July 2004.
Questions about medical applications are among the most frequent questions about the implications of applications of advanced nanotechnology. If the application of nanotechnology to medicine is important to you, please consider contributing to this new grant program, to support the completion of Nanomedicine.
In additional to his nanomedicine work, Freitas is also working hard on the near-term implementation of molecular nanotechnology, including a new book on replicating systems and proposals for specific pathways leading to diamond mechanosynthesis. Robert will be speaking on these topics, and on his nanomedicine work, at the October 2004 Foresight Conference in Washington DC. He has also written a personal message to potential donors.
Neil Jacobstein, Chairman of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, says of Robert Freitas' work:
"IMM considers Robert Freitas' work to be ground breaking and fundamental. There are few nanotechnology researchers as productive or creative. Robert's comprehensive work on Nanomedicine has opened up an entire new field of medical research. His new book on replicating systems, co-authored with Ralph Merkle, provides detailed analyses to make the case that molecular assemblers are indeed theoretically feasible. The book also provides many important pointers to next steps in the path towards the construction of an assembler. Currently, Robert is trying to help move MNT from the outside towards the mainstream of nanoscale science and technology. I believe that his work will one day be viewed as 'ahead of its time', but for now, he needs your support to continue his independent research."
We urge you to support, as generously as you can, this highly productive and hardworking scientist, and his valuable research efforts.

Missing nature – look beneath your feet
Earthworm - and a Lapwing (Dave Williams)
Farmers and ecologists know that soil is the most important resource to protect in managing the land. But while it's all around us, it seems far too easy to ignore, even though they are intrinsic to food webs and nutrient cycling in every cubic inch of land. Research by the British Trust for Ornithology, yet to be published but presented to a major conference in Edinburgh this week, pieced together more than 100 local studies from the last 90 years. They estimate that earthworm abundance declined by 33%-41% in the last 25 years, the greatest losses on enclosed farmland and in broad-leaved woodland. Earthworms feature in the diet of many birds, from thrushes to at-risk waders such as Curlews and Lapwings. If worms are in trouble, so too could other creatures such as beetles and fly larvae that are eaten by Choughs and Starlings.
It's hoped that the assessment will lead to greater understanding of the effects of land management activities on soil invertebrates, since it's in everyone's interest for the Welsh Government's Sustainable Farming Scheme to ensure we look after what we stand on.
If you're heading out in search of birds over Christmas, a Long-tailed Duck was off Criccieth promenade on Sunday, 10 Goosanders on Rhyl's Brickfields nature reserve and 17 on the Inland Sea at Four Mile Bridge. Three Surf Scoters off Llysfaen will be hard to locate in this week's unsettled weather, but easier is a Great White Egret on fields at Glan Conwy. A Yellow-browed Warbler was among a flock of tits at Tesco in Llandudno Junction and Snow Buntings at Uwchmynydd and Horton's Nose, the shingle ridge where the Clwyd estuary meets the sea at Kinmel Bay. The latter site also hosted a Black Redstart, with others at Rhoscolyn, the Gadlys Hotel near Cemaes Bay and Aberdaron churchyard.

Six months after the first Avatars, we were invited to California to deliver the first west coast Avatar class. There were supposed to be eleven people waiting to enroll in the class, but just before we arrived I learned that none had actually paid. All were waiting to hear me speak before they made their final decision. This was a surprise to me, because I had not prepared anything to say.
More surprises came at the airport. Our luggage was still in Pittsburgh, and the friend who picked us up told us that in addition to the eleven probable students, there were another fifty people waiting at his house to hear me speak. What am I going to say?
So, dirty, sweaty and tired, I found myself perched on a stool in a California living room with sixty strangers sitting on the floor around me. If the Avatar processes ever worked, they had to now. I closed my eyes and spent a minute handling my own doubts and nervousness. I applied the processes and the doubts slipped away. When I opened my eyes, I floated in compassionate, undefined awareness. How are you my friends? Have I got a treat for you!
"I will try to describe Avatar without conveying too many of my own beliefs or perspectives to you. The reason I say that is because The Avatar Course is about your beliefs and your perspectives."
Absolute motionless silence! Sixty people, two babies and a dog, and you could hear the clock on the kitchen wall tick! It was so quiet that it finally unnerved the dog, and he surprised himself with a muffled bark. I felt I had said enough. They know. Let them feel me. Underneath the beliefs and body suits, we're part of this same awareness. Feel it.
The room relaxed as the fog of questions cleared. We had touched someplace behind it all and now were friends. We were in love. Eyes filled with tears. Gentle, accepting smiles. I love this feeling. We're real. The costumes are off and we're real. Together, for better or worse, part of a shared destiny.
"What you believe has consequences in your life. The Avatar course helps you to make the connection between what you are experiencing and the belief that is creating the experience.
"Imagine enrolling on a course where the study materials consist of your own consciousness. The teachers will provide navigational tools, a blank map, and emotional support. It's your exploration; you will bring your own terrain.
"Our purpose is to assist you in returning to the level of consciousness at which you are the knowing creative source of your own beliefs. Along the way you are going to learn that what you believe is not nearly as important as knowing how you believe. In this case, understanding the container is more important than understanding the contents. Empty the contents. Marvel at the craft that creates the bowl.
"Creative source is an effortless state of being. Don't confuse it with an attitude or identity that may be on automatic and seems effortless. Creative source is effortless, accepting and undefined. (Desiring and resisting are efforts. Accepting and appreciating are effortless.) From this state of being you can experience anything, and within extremely broad limits (perhaps boundless) change it as you decide.
"This is the state of being that we call Avatar, and we have found a very simple and very effective procedure for achieving this state. It can be done in a matter of days when presented under the guidance of an experienced master. With this sense of presence and the tools we teach you to use, you are equipped for the exploration of your own consciousness."
Avatar is more like a passport than it is a belief system. Its mission is to catalyze the integration of all belief systems.
In the last fifty years a lot of belief systems have been spawned--all sorts of "-isms". "-ologies", and "-ings". Nearly everyone had a favorite and believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were on the right path. Well they were for that moment, but right-path-mentality did very little good for world harmony. Intolerance and separation became a badge of your faith. "You are either with us or you are against us." "You are either part of the solution or part of the problem."
Avatar students quickly comprehend that this black-and-white thinking is headed nowhere. Different stages of consciousness afford different opportunities for growth and development. Belief systems should offer growth experiences not prison experiences. Avatar is the tool that allows you to fully experience a belief system and then moves on.
The Avatar experience is the opportunity of many lifetimes. I am really starting to get it. I am not who I thought I was! True "I" can go out and watch from outside of any creation, or go in and willingly experience any creation. Sometimes it happens simultaneously.
I can now watch what I used to think of as "I". Wow! I like this viewpoint. The horror is gone. There is nothing that cannot be handled from this viewpoint. –A.G.
ReSurfacing refers to the action of disentangling yourself from old creations and rising back into awareness.
ReSurfacing is a new approach to these age-old questions. You will find the answers by exploring the underlying structure of your own consciousness.
You will discover new insights and realizations about how your life works - or why it doesn't.
Take a walk and notice something that moves. Ask yourself: What is the purpose of that movement? Where did it come from? Where is it going? Continue the exercise until you experience a broadening in time and a new understanding of your perception.
This broadening of perception in time is a conscious ability called prediction. It is following the direction of a cause and effect sequence into the future for the purpose of getting an idea of what is to come. It is a natural ability that almost all people have, although most people have it on automatic.
Following motion in time is part perception and part imagination. This podium, while it appears to be in the same location as when I walked out on stage, has actually been moving forward in time. It is in the same space, but in a different time. Had it not kept pace with me, I would be here and it would still be in the past, and I wouldn't have anything to lean on.

Facebook, Inc. Earnings Today: 4 Metrics to Watch
It's time for Facebook to show investors how the company has been doing. Here are the most important metrics to watch when Zuckerberg & Co. report earnings after market close today.
Daniel Sparks
(TMFDanielSparks)

Follow @@danielsparks
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) reports earnings today after market close. The release will be followed by a live conference call. Here are the four most important metrics for investors to watch.
Since Facebook went public, the company has grown its top line at mind-boggling rates. In fact, Facebook's year-over-year quarterly revenue growth rates have accelerated for five quarters in a row. In the third quarter of 2012, Facebook's revenue was up 32% from the year-ago quarter. In the social network's most recent quarter that growth rate was 63%.
Going into Facebook's first quarter of 2014, analysts expect 63% year-over-year top-line growth again. But considering that Facebook has beat top line estimates every quarter since it went public, there is likely an unspoken expectation for the social network to accelerate top-line growth yet again. Investors should hope Facebook can grow year-over-year revenue by 65% or more.
Mobile revenue
Although Facebook only initiated mobile advertising in the fourth quarter of 2012, its fast-growing importance to Facebook's business results has made the metric among the most important for investors to keep an eye on. Mobile ad revenue has soared from accounting for 23% of total ad revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 53% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Investors should look for mobile revenue to account for 56% or more of Facebook's advertising revenue in Q1.
Daily active users
The ultimate competitive advantage a large social network like Facebook benefits from is network effects. How does a network effect work? With every additional member that joins a particular social platform, it becomes more useful for existing and new users. While Facebook's network is often measured by monthly active users, it's daily active users that really gives the company considerable staying power. No other social network on the planet comes even close to Facebook's 757 million daily active users.
With Facebook's daily active users metric increasing about 4% sequentially in Q4, investors should hope for at least a two to three percent sequential increase in Q1, or about 775 million daily active users.

Engagement rate
As Facebook continues to refine its ad products and test entirely new ones, investors want to be sure that the advertisements aren't hindering the engagement on the platform. Investors can measure engagement by looking at the percentage of monthly active users using the social network on a daily basis. Last quarter that figure was 61.5%, slightly higher than the 61.2% in the quarter before. While investors should hope Facebook can at least maintain its current engagement rate, it would be excellent news if the company continues to push that rate even higher.

John Conroy (fl. 1790s) was a builder active in Raleigh and Chapel Hill in the late 18th century. Although little is known of him, he possessed design skills as well as good connections, for he is credited with planning or constructing edifices in the new capital and at the university. There are several unsigned drawings of early university buildings; whether any is from Conroy's hand remains to be established.
In 1793 the commissioners to plan the University of North Carolina met at the place called New Hope Chapel Hill, where they laid off a plan for the campus and established the site of a town nearby. A survey and map of the area made by John Daniel survives (see William S. Powell, The First State University). In addition, according to university historian Archibald Henderson, John Conroy was paid £10 for drawing the "plan of the intended buildings of the University," but that document is believed to have been lost. It is possible, however, that this drawing was the one subsequently sent by Charles Wilson Harris, a young professor, to an uncle and reproduced in Powell's First State University, but this is an open question.) It is also possible that Conroy had a role in planning Old East, which was built by James Patterson, and for which unsigned drawings survive.
Among the other early university buildings was a house for the president. Conroy presented an "estimate of the president's house of The University," a document that survives in University Papers. A notation in a different hand indicated, "John Conroy's proposal £765." Conroy's "estimate" described the neatly finished 2-story frame house in detail, including its stone and brick cellar, a good staircase with balusters, lathed and plastered walls, windows with shutters at the first story, and the unusual inclusion of closets. University records also include a well-drawn, unsigned plan and elevation of this building, which shows the closets in keeping with Conroy's proposal. The job went to another contractor, Samuel Hopkins. The drawing might be by Conroy. Hopkins, or someone else. A drawing of ca. 1795, depicting an elevation and plan for a grammar or preparatory school for the university, shows a similar drawing style. More investigation is needed to determine Conroy's role in planning the university's earliest buildings.
In 1794, John Conroy won the contract to build the Wake County Courthouse in downtown Raleigh, the newly established state capital. Before this time, the courthouse stood near the plantation house of Joel Lane. When the capital was laid out on Lane's land a short distance east, a lot for a new courthouse was acquired on Fayetteville Street in 1793. Conroy contracted in 1794 to build for £1,099 "a large wood building" with a "spacious hall for the Courts," and other rooms for offices and juries. By June, 1795, he had the building sufficiently complete that the justices meeting at the old courthouse voted on June 16 to adjourn "to the Court House in the City of Raleigh." The justices noted, however, that their move should not "operate as a reception of said House from his hands or in any manner be considered to exonerate him from the smallest part of his engagement respecting the same with the Commissioners with whom he contracted." Completed in time for September court, the Wake County Courthouse was a plainly finished frame structure that, like the brick State House of the same period (see Rhodham Atkins), later drew complaints for its lack of elegance, but it served its purpose for nearly four decades. It was removed in the 1830s to make way for a brick edifice (see Alexander Bragg); some accounts indicate that it was reused as a residence on another site. Nothing is known of Conroy's life and work before or after his activities in Raleigh and Chapel Hill in the 1790s, and further information about him is sought.
The Wake County Courthouse built by John Conroy in 1794-1795 was the first in downtown Raleigh. It was built on a site donated for the purpose by Theophilus Hunter, Sr., and James Bloodworth, who had acquired the southern and northern portions, respectively, of the 300 block. Each donated a half-acre lot to form a full acre lot for the courthouse. A reversionary clause in Bloodworth's deed stated that his half-acre lot must continue to serve as the site of the courthouse or revert to him or his heirs. As a result, county's courthouses have continued to occupy the same site. See Murray's Wake for images of all the courthouses.

Josep Lluís Trapero, the very Catalan police chief who emerged as a global celebrity
Catalian police chief Josep Lluís Trapero won plaudits around the world for his handling of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Barcelona and Cambrils.
As well as overseeing the elimination and capture of the cell responsible, the young police chief handled the bulk of the communication around the operation.
"During the anti-terror operation, amid chaos, people were looking for a benchmark and found it in the police chief," explains Joel Codina, consultant and member of the Catalan Association for Political Communication. "Trapero showed sincerity, serenity, self-confidence and transparency, offering fast and direct information, which made people feel safer."
"Proud" and "thanks" were two of the most repeated words on social media in the days following the attacks as a single police officer shot dead four terrorists in the town of Cambrils and the author of the Barcelona attack, Younes Abouyaaqoub, was tracked down and killed in Subirats.
Born in 1965 and raised in a working-class neighbourhood in Santa Coloma de Gramanet, close to Barcelona, Trapero was named police chief, last April. His resumé includes a law degree alongside 26 years of service in law enforcement.
"He has worked a lot to be here," says a police officer who did not want to be named but who had worked intensively as part of the operations following the attacks. Nevertheless, alongside his charisma, Trapero has a reputation for stubbornness and no-nonsense speech that has earned him critics. Last month he hit out at millennials suggesting they are lazy. Those comments hit some in his own force.
"In spite of the fact that the police chief thinks that [young people] don't have the capacity for sacrifice, nor do they strive, reality and data confirm that it's the young who do most of the work," the officer told Euronews.
A previous controversial saw Trapero's integrity questioned after he was pictured at a party last summer alongside the pro-separatist Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont. Those images opened a debate about the neutrality of Catalan police.
Nevertheless, straight talking turned out to be an asset for Trapero as he benefitted on social media from the global support for Barcelona and Catalonia that peaked in the past few weeks. When a Dutch journalist interrupted him during a press conference to ask that he speak in Spanish, Trapero responded:
"When you ask me in Catalan, I answer in Catalan, when you ask me in Spanish, I answer in Spanish."
The journalist left the room and Trapero noted "Bueno, pues molt bé, pues adiós", a sentence that could be translated into English as "Well, then, fine, then, goodbye".

Pine Island Sound is another favorite with the ecotourism crowd. Full of fascinating islands, the waterway is great for kayaking.
the term, however, didn't really come about until the early 1980s when Hector Caballos- Lascurain, director of the Mexican Ministry of Urban Development and Ecology, began using it in a lobbying effort to conserve northern Yucatan wetlands for the breeding and feeding habitat of the American flamingo. So much for history.
True ecotourism works on several levels for the ecotourist like you and me and for the ecotour provider. For us, as individuals, it's a fairly simple code: Be as one with the environment, do nothing disruptive, take only memories ( photos, too) and leave only footprints. In other words, don't ride the back of a manatee, throw marshmallows to a sunbathing alligator or leave an area littered with sandwich wrappers and soda cans.
For tour providers it's more involved and goes well beyond simply providing individual tourists with safe, informative tours or tour facilities. As an educational organization Florida SEE is very much concerned with the concept of sustainability or providing for the environment. And environment in this instance is a very broad term. Are the operator's business practices ethical? Is he or she actively supporting one or more of the local service groups like the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, Lions or Community Fund? Do they contribute financially to the area? Buy supplies and equipment ocally or hire locally? And, on a strictly ecological level, how are they taking care to minimize their impact on the environment? Are there any controls over the number of daily visitors to an area? Do they limit the number of tours given or the size of individual tours? And finally, how well trained or informed is their staff?
A few years ago, in addition to simple education, Florida SEE began a certification program. Tour operators who meet, or believe they can meet, Florida SEE's ethical ecotourism standards can apply to be certified. Since only a relatively small number of operators have thus far applied for certification it should not be assumed that a not- yet- certified operator is in any way less ethical or will provide a less satisfactory experience for you.
Ask questions. How experienced are the tour guides? What training do they have? How long have they been guiding and can they guarantee you'll see anything specific, such as dolphins, manatees or a particular species of bird? This last point is especially important because you're asking about wildlife and no ethical operator can guarantee what or when you'll see some of it. ( If one tries, time to look elsewhere.) And, of course, whenever practical, find out what other customers are saying with a quick visit to Internet sites like yelp. com and tripadvisor. com.
Now, what does all of this have to do with us in Southwest Florida? Well, very simply, we have the good fortune to sit in the midst of an ecotourist paradise, which an increasing number of visitors come to take advantage of it. Tourism, as everyone knows, is a major factor in the Florida economy, and ecotourism is a rapidly growing segment within it.
With the Gulf, rivers and lakes around us, it's only natural that waterborne ecotourism abounds here. If you're lucky enough to have your own kayak or paddleboard then, to paraphrase an expression, Southwest Florida is your oyster. There are an almost infinite number of bays, bayous, rivers and the like to explore at your leisure. But for the less adventurous or those without their own equipment, the area is home to a multitude of outfitters and tour operators. And if it's water you're headed toward, the choices are endless.
First, do you want to rent equipment to go out on your own or would you rather be part of a tour? If you're one of the former types, then a few words of caution. Before starting out, ask questions. Where should you go? Where are you most likely to see whatever it is that interests you? And, perhaps even more important, where should you not go? Ask also about the tides. In some cases they'll make little or no difference to you, but, for others, it's another story entirely.
Parts of the Estero River, for example, are tidal. A downstream paddle with an outgoing tide or just the gentle river current can be very pleasant. But, if the tide's against you, then returning upstream is not nearly so effortless. Ask advice. The outfitter on that river can be most helpful.
The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge is another excellent example of where tidal awareness can be important. It may have little effect on your paddle if you're merely planning to explore the main areas of Tarpon Bay— the shoreline or the Rookery Islands. If, however, you want to paddle along the Commodore Trail, a well- marked water path through mangrove tunnels and some interior parts of the wildlife refuge, then tides may very well affect your plan. There are times, according to Wendy Schnapp, general manager for Tarpon Bay Explorers, the concessionaire at the refuge, when "we have to let them [ kayakers] know that the trail is not accessible and tell them when it will be." Fortunately, tides and times can be predicted well in advance. So except for weather changes, optimum paddling conditions can be anticipated quite accurately.
The growing interest in ecotourism is forcing the industry to expand along with it. Many outdoor enthusiasts are no longer satisfied to spend only two or three hours exploring their nearby environment or taking the same wildlife tours year after year.

Two biomedical ethicists are insisting on the formation of new human rights laws to make sure that the privacy of one's brain is protected, according to London's The Independent.
Previously thought of as impossible, technological advancements are causing devices to gain a whole new level of intelligence that may require "the right to cognitive liberty" and "the right to mental integrity" to be highlighted.
Facebook recently disclosed that the company is working on the creation of mind-reading technology. Despite still being in its early stages of research, scientists' successful development of technology that is capable of deciphering whether a person is politically right or left-wing proves that devices of this nature are possible and realistic.
Moreover, medical researchers have been successful in connecting a part of a paralysed man's brain to a computer in order to help him stimulate his muscles to feed himself.
We need to be prepared to deal with the impact these technologies will have on our personal freedom.
The ethicists highlighted the "unprecedented opportunities" of the "ubiquitous distribution of cheaper, scalable and easy-to-use neuro-applications" in a paper in the journal Life Sciences. It will allow neurotechnology to be "intricately embedded in our everyday life".
However, their concern is related to the potential abuse that this technology could be vulnerable to.
They suggested that "malicious brain-hacking" and "hazardous uses of medical neurotechnology" could jeopardise mental integrity as we know it.
"We suggest that in response to emerging neurotechnology possibilities, the right to mental integrity should not exclusively guarantee protection from mental illness or traumatic injury but also from unauthorised intrusions into a person's mental wellbeing performed through the use of neurotechnology, especially if such intrusions result in physical or mental harm to the neurotechnology user," the ethicists said.
The technology, being so sophisticated, may lead to the intrusion or interference of one's mind even without the subject's knowledge.
"Illicit intrusions into a person's mental privacy may not necessarily involve coercion, as they could be performed under the threshold of a persons' conscious experience," the ethicists wrote.
Due to these concerns, they have proposed four new human rights laws: the right to cognitive liberty, the right to mental privacy, the right to mental integrity and the right to psychological continuity.
Co-author of the paper, an academic at Zurich University's law school, Professor Roberto Andorno, said: "Brain imaging technology has already reached a point where there is discussion over its legitimacy in criminal court, for example as a tool for assessing criminal responsibility or even the risk of re-offending.
"Consumer companies are using brain imaging for 'neuromarketing' to understand consumer behaviour and elicit desired responses from customers.
"There are also tools such as 'brain decoders' which can turn brain imaging data into images, text or sound.
And his colleague at the Institute for Biomedical Ethics at Basel University, Marcello Ienca, said: "The mind is considered to be the last refuge of personal freedom and self-determination, but advances in neural engineering, brain imaging and neurotechnology put the freedom of the mind at risk.


This club focuses on traditional patterns with traditional fabrics. Meetings will be held on the first Friday night every other month at 6:30 pm starting in February.

Companies form initiative to scale up green hydrogen production
A passenger rides on a public bus on the day that Mayor of London Sadiq Khan outlined plans to place a levy on the most polluting vehicles in London, Britain
LONDON (Reuters) – Seven companies, including developer ACWA Power and Spanish utility Iberdrola, have formed a joint initiative to scale up production of "green" hydrogen in the next six years and bring down costs, they said on Tuesday.
"Green" hydrogen is a zero-carbon fuel made by electrolysis, using renewable power from wind and solar to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
It is increasingly being touted as a way to decarbonise emissions-intensive heavy industry and transport sectors, but currently costs of production are too high to be competitive with other fuels.
The so-called Green Hydrogen Catapult initiative also includes Italian gas group Snam, renewable energy investor CWP Renewables, low-carbon technology group Envision, renewable energy developer Ørsted, and fertiliser company Yara.
It aims to deploy 25 gigawatts (GW) of renewables-based hydrogen production to 2026, and to halve the current cost of the fuel to below $2 per kg.
Its goal will require investment of around $110 billion – to be raised from a mix of debt and equity providers, with some public co-investment – and deliver more than 120,000 jobs, it said.
Industry experts say a $2/kg price will make green hydrogen more competitive with other fuels and encourage more large-scale projects.
"From an industry perspective, we see no technical barriers to achieving this, so it's time to get on with the virtuous cycle of cost reduction through scale up," said Paddy Padmanathan, chief executive of ACWA Power.

Ubisoft has made a decent attempt at supporting the virtual reality game space in recent years. The publishing giant has released four games for both the PSVR and PCVR platforms since 2016, with Space Junkies being their fifth. While all of those games are vastly different from each other, they do share some commonalities. The first is that they are generally lower-budget games with a single hook. Titles such as Eagle Flight and Werewolves Within had basic premises with mid-tier production values, but offered interesting ideas in implementing a fun and social experience within the VR space. The other thing most of Ubisoft's VR releases share is their commitment to online interactions. Werewolves Within and Star Trek: Bridge Crew are almost purely multiplayer-focused, for example. To support this, Ubisoft offered cross-play between PCVR and PSVR users to help give the community some legs. Unfortunately, the lack of depth in these games combined with the smaller user base that the VR market has in general, these releases end up being forgotten about fairly quickly. Space Junkies feels like a small step forward in those departments, but still doesn't do enough to stand out in a galaxy of online shooters.
Rather than just relying on a single hook, Space Junkies is a retro inspired arena shooter with an anti-gravity twist. While yes, the anti-gravity mechanics are certainly a gimmick in their own way, the game plays like a traditional multiplayer shooter that calls back to classics such as DOOM, Quake and Halo. Four players slug it out online in well designed maps with weapon pick-ups scattered throughout. While this doesn't sound like the most mind-blowing idea, I thought the maps were well built and I had fun playing through them. However, much like those games from over a decade ago, there does feel like a lack of content when comparing it to other multiplayer games in the market.
The anti-gravity and traversal mechanics work quite well and I'm confident that after the five minute tutorial, you'll be flying, strafing and boosting in no time. The game uses a clever method of separating the camera from your helmet, so you can be looking in one direction but tilting your head slightly in another direction to aim your flight. It sounds complicated but it works well. I also found that the camera detachment works well for combating motion sickness. The whole experience felt comfortable at all times.
I do think the shooting feels a bit off in this game, though. I was playing with the DualShock 4, which employs its lightbar for aiming in Space Junkies, with the left and right weapons mapped to L2 and R2. This makes the whole affair feel clunky and cumbersome. It's a shame the game doesn't support move controllers as it's basically a dual-wielding game. The lightbar just doesn't react as well as the Move bulbs when you're aiming weapons and this can create some unnecessarily frustrating moments.
When I was able to find games, I was actually having a good time, and I can see Space Junkies as being a nice way to cool off. The caveat being that you might struggle to actually find a match. There were a few times where I was standing around and goofing off in the lobby for almost 10 minutes. If this is the case for launch, then I am not sure I'll be able just pick up and play this game a few months down the track when I want a fun distraction.
The visual presentation is actually quite nice, if not overly memorable. The development team have opted for a simple yet colourful art style, which pops nicely in the headset. The game also employs a somewhat silly and comedic style that is reminiscent of Borderlands and so many other hero shooters out in the market at the moment. It isn't bad, but it does feel just a little too familiar.
Space Junkies is definitely a competently made game and you can absolutely have some fun zipping around space, firing blasters at other people online. However, its inability to create an identity amongst some stiff VR and non-VR competition will certainly hurt the game's chances to attract a large player base as time goes on. Its well designed but feels dated, it's got solid production values but none of it feels original. I'm more worried about the game's future than anything else. I think this is probably Ubisoft's best VR game to date, but it still needs to do more in the future to leave a strong lasting impression.
