Mercer and Burton Reassemble On Solid But Disappointing LP
February 12, 2014 The State Times Arts, Current Issues, Music 0
Monica Dore, Copy Editor
Four years after the release of their self-titled debut album, Broken Bells has collaborated again, releasing an 11-track album appropriately titled After the Disco.
Broken Bells is a two-member band, made up of artist-producer Danger Mouse (born Brian Burton) and James Mercer, lead singer and guitarist of The Shins. Since Broken Bells released their first album in 2010, both Danger Mouse and Mercer have kept busy. Danger Mouse became known for his production work for Beck, Gorillaz and the Black Keys; meanwhile, Mercer's band released their fourth album, Port of Morrow, which was widely praised by critics and fans alike.
The recent work of Danger Mouse and Mercer had fans bursting with excitement for the new album, citing the last four years as an indication that the new album would be worth the wait. Yet, some fans were let down.
Simply put, the new album is good. It's good in many of the ways one would expect, but it lacks the jaw-dropping effect that I had hoped for.
After the Disco is more cohesive than Broken Bells–which is actually where this album falters. Whereas the first album crossed boundaries and took the greater risk of combining many elements into a single album, After the Disco stays consistent with one sound. The new album has a sound true to its name–it's poppy and reminiscent of the decades following the disco era. And while Broken Bells certainly took a chance by resorting to the sounds of the past decades, perhaps they relied too heavily on inspiration from the seventies. The result of this blast-from-the-past sound is an album that was overall repetitive and predictable.
It's not all bad news, though. Although the album wasn't what I expected, After the Disco is an enjoyable listen with plenty of high points. The opening track "Perfect World" fools the listener into feeling optimistic, despite the song being about the disappointment of realizing love isn't all it's supposed to be. In it, Mercer sings "I've got nothing left/It's kind of wonderful/Cause there's nothing they can take away." This song sets the tone for the album, which, despite the upbeat instrumentals, ends up being largely about loneliness, disappointment and losing control in love and life. "Lazy Wonderland" is a standout track, providing a dreamy break different from the dance-electronic sound of the rest of the album.
All in all, After the Disco was a good listen, although very different than what I had anticipated. Broken Bells is undeniably talented, even though they didn't showcase their talent as well as they could have in this album. But maybe I should take it easy on the duo. After all, bad for Broken Bells is still better than good for many artists.

The majority of the population (73%) in Europe live in urban areas! A few years later, the percentage is projected to rise (over to 80%). As we know, urbanisation brings a lot of socio-economic benefits, but on the flip side, it also puts high pressure on urban infrastructure and mobility. As the population increases, the customer service expectations heighten, thereby, the firm seeks new ways to serve urban customers.

ONO joins forces with EIT InnoEnergy
Recently, EIT InnoEnergy has unveiled a new partnership with ONO, a Berlin-based e-mobility company. As a result of this partnership, EIT InnoEnergy will support ONO in the rolling out of its Pedal Assisted Transporter (PAT) Pioneers Edition. The support includes €3M over the next two years and assists a Europe-wide launch in 2022.

Founded by Beres Seelbach (CEO), Murat Günak (CDO), and Philipp Kahle (CTO), ONO claims to focus on creating transformative change in urban mobility in a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective way.
"Europe's CEP market alone was valued at €58B in 2018 while showing an annual growth rate of 8%, with the last mile delivery representing the crucial and most cost-intensive piece of the overall supply chain. At the same time there is an important push towards decarbonising transport," said Beres Seelbach, CEO of ONO.
Aims to expand in 60 cities
Based out of Berlin, ONO plans to launch its PAT in Berlin, Munich, Leipzig, and Langeoog this fall. This e-cargo bike is a combination of a bicycle and a transport van developed for clean transportation within cities. The German urban mobility company aims to have at least 14,000 vehicles on the road in more than 60 cities by 2025.
"Our collaboration with EIT InnoEnergy and the other project partners enables us to perfectly address the needs of the CEP market in Europe, allowing for continual growth in further market segments while decreasing car traffic and emissions," added Philipp Kahle, ONO's head of engineering.
Based on modular platform
The ONO PAT features a modular platform with interchangeable module-units that can be exchanged within a minute. As per the company, the e-cargo vehicle is made up of Tier 1 automotive parts and manufacturing processes, with an swappable battery system every 60km.
With the cargo capacity of 2.1 cubic metres, the company is planning to focus the initial rollout on the rapidly expanding CEP (Courier, Express, and Parcel) market, including an already announced pilot with Hermes. ONO also claims that its modular design and low operating costs make this e-cargo vehicle well suited for the retail, catering, and passenger transport sectors.
Partners of the innovation project include urban indoor farming company InFarm and e-bility, maker of Kumpan Electric e-scooters.

11 AI leaders from Amsterdam to watch in 2021

Up through the skies I soar, weightless as the wind whispering through willow trees that cry trembling green tears. I feel as if there must be a limit, and yet I rise ever upwards, on a delightful draft of soft, warm air that you send as your love to me. I look down below and see your hair rustling like the willows, and it brings me back down again. Your love, rising up towards me, tempts me to soar high within the clouds, but your eyes pull me ever closer to you. Your deep green eyes with their circles of gold, so full of wonder as you watch me spin about in the breeze, draw me into your arms again. Our love is so warm, though, our hearts beating together in an emotional tempo that pulls us ever closer to each other, that when a breath of hot air begins to draw me away I clutch my arms around you and lift you up. Your feet leave the ground with mine and we fly, fly for each other, fly together, fly for love and desire and wonder. I bring you with me on this wondrous path of airways and trees, and this time I do not need to return to the ground to show you my devotion. My love for you lifts you up to the clouds, just as yours carries me beside you.
For always, together, forever, my love.

Read-At-Home Mom's Top 25 Books of 2020
One of my favorite things to do at the end of December is to make my list of my top 25 books for the year. Though 2020 was an unusual reading year in some ways, I still read a lot of really interesting and well-written books. They are listed by category below. I marked my top ten very favorites with an asterisk.
Feel-Good Reads (5)
This spring, between bringing home newborn twins and everything being closed and canceled right and left, I found myself wanting to read purely to escape. Though I eventually started reading other types of books too, feel-good reads remained my top genre throughout 2020. It's hard to guess how I might have felt about these books had I not read them during a global pandemic, but for this year, they were all five-star reads.
*Attachments by Rainbow Rowell was one of the picks for the Everyday Reading book club on Instagram, and I just absolutely loved it. I think it's hard to write something funny, and Rowell made me laugh a lot with this quirky romance set in the 90s. I really enjoyed the characters and I felt that the story managed to have substance while still helping me take my mind off what was going on in the world.
The Lost and Found Bookshop by Susan Wiggs was a pleasant surprise for me. Her older books have typically been three-star reads for me, but this one has deeper characterization and a more engaging plot than her previous titles. I think I also appreciated the story because it was about finding hope during a time of grief, and I was grieving the loss of a lot of things this year.
*At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon is the first in a series that one of my Instagram followers said had good fall vibes. It turned out that I loved this series so much that from October to December, I read eight of the books. I could have chosen all of them, but the first one is representative of everything I love about the series so I just went with that. I love the characters, the small-town setting, the Christian themes, and the audiobook narrator, John McDonough.
*Pilgrim's Inn by Elizabeth Goudge is the second in a trilogy which I've been reading with the Elizabeth Goudge book club on Instagram. I really liked the first book, too, but this one stuck with me more strongly, especially because it made me love some characters I had previously seen as totally unlikable. I'm looking forward to finishing the trilogy in January.
*The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop by Fannie Flagg was the real surprise of the year. This is a sequel to Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe that catches us up on all the characters from the first book and follows Buddy Threadgoode through his entire adult life. I thought this was just going to be a quick novelty read, but it was actually so much more satisfying than that. It made me laugh and moved me to happy tears. It will only make sense to people who have read the first book, but for those readers it is such a treat.
Children's and YA Books (3)
The longer I am away from working in libraries, the fewer children's books I read, but there were still a few stand-out middle grade and YA titles I read this year.
Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham is a Newbery winner I read with two Instagram friends and it was great. I liked it mostly for what it had to say about education, but it's also great for readers who are interested in sailing and the history of navigation.
The Animal Family by Randall Jarrell was chosen from the shelf at random by my three-year-old as a potential read-aloud. I read it aloud at lunchtime over the course of a week, and though it was a strange little story about a man and a mermaid and their adopted animals, I was completely surprised by how emotional it was and how beautifully written. My kids also loved it.
*By the Book by Amanda Sellet is an adorable YA romance that came out this spring. I loved the protagonist who is a sweet, naive, and bookish girl from a very quirky and intelligent family who accidentally finds love. As I was reading this one, I was wishing it had been around when I was a teenager.
I didn't read as much nonfiction this year as I wanted, but there were a few standout titles among the ones I did pick up.
The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp was my book club's pick for November. I really loved seeing how this family lived out their faith and relied on God to see them through some really challenging times.
*A Circle of Quiet by Madeleine L'Engle is the first of her Crosswicks Journals. I loved reading her descriptions of family life and her neighbors at Crosswicks as well as the insights into the inspiration for her fiction. I also found that her religious beliefs as articulated in this book were pretty in line with my own Catholic beliefs (but this was frustratingly not the case in the other Journals I read after this one).
A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel is a book I owned as a teenager but it didn't come with me when I moved out of my parents' house and I have no idea what happened to it. I listened to the audiobook on the recommendation of an Instagram follower and I absolutely loved it. It was funny, and relatable, and I'm planning to listen to the second book in 2021.
Pandemic Reading (3)
After spending the spring losing myself in escapist reads, I leaned into the pandemic a bit and read some books that ultimately made me feel more optimistic about the current situation.
An American Plague by Jim Murphy is a middle grade nonfiction book about the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia. So much of the situation back then was similar to what's been happening here, from people avoiding each other in the streets to fake news writers trying to capitalize on the public's fears. I found this book completely fascinating and I never would have appreciated it half as much had I not read it during the pandemic.
*Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel had been recommended to me prior to the pandemic, and I almost didn't pick it up once Covid-19 started to spread because I thought it would hit too close to home. It turns out, though, that this book really put things into their proper perspective. Compared to the societal collapse depicted in this book, 2020 was a walk in the park.
Walden by Henry David Thoreau has been on my TBR since I read We Alcotts at the beginning of 2019 and decided I wanted to know more about Concord. It turns out that it's basically a crash course in social distancing! I read it in the fall, but I wish I had thought to read it in the spring when lockdown first started.
Common Sense by Thomas Paine is a must-read for understanding how the fouding fathers saw the role of government. This was much better reading than people's unfiltered political opinions on social media.
*Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was one of my first reads of the year and it confirmed that I am definitely a Bronte girl, rather than an Austen girl. I loved the writing, the characters, the story, everything. I will definitely re-read this one someday.
Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset is probably the longest book I've ever read. I started it in 2019 and finished it in early 2020. It's so dramatic, and sometimes I got annoyed with Kristin's horrible decision making as a young woman, but it's ultimately a beautiful story of redemption that is worth all the work it takes to reach the end.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a book I'd been meaning to read for over a year. I listened to most of it on audio and found that it really is very readable and quite funny.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson was another book I read early in 2020. It's so creepy and unsettling but so good. I listened to the audiobook at regular speed and it was a great reading experience.
The Nature of the Beast by Louise Penny is book 11 in the Armand Gamache series, and it's one of the best. It's somewhat darker and different than the ones that come before it, but I like that this series continually reinvents itself.
Anatomy of a Murder by William Traver is the novel on which my favorite movie of all time is based, and I finally read it this year. Though my favorite line from the film turns out not to be from the book, I still really enjoyed this and found that overall the film is very faithful to its source material.
Ready Player One by Ernest Gaines is a science fiction novel and not a mystery per se, but it does have a mysterious quest at its center that made me want to include it in this category. I thought this was a really interesting take on social media and its potential dangers, and I'm excited to read the sequel that just came out.
Strong Sense of Place (3)
Finally, the last three books in my top 25 are stories where the setting plays a significant role.
*Colony by Anne Rivers Siddons is an audiobook I listened to over the summer. It follows Maud, a southerner who marries a man from Maine and thereafter spends her summers in Retreat, a small colony on the coast of Maine where her mother-in-law reigns supreme and where, over the decades, Maud acquires power - and secrets - of her own. This was a perfect summer read, and I liked it so much I bought several more Siddons titles.
*Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry is the first book I've read by this author but it won't be the last. It's a beautiful look back at the life of one elderly woman and her family on their farm, and it is beautifully written from beginning to end. It was sadder than I was expecting, but a great book all the same.
Beartown by Fredrik Backman is my first book by this author and also won't be my last. Backman writes gorgeous descriptions of the small town of Beartown, where everyone lives their lives around hockey, and he writes tastefully and honestly about a sexual assault that tears the town apart. I have never read a book with so many quotable lines. I can't believe Fredrik Backman is my age; he seems wise beyond his years.

the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. Charles Darwin popularized the term "natural selection"; he compared it with artificial selection (selective breeding).


Rhema attending her first big-girl outing with her school– they saw a Penguin movie!!!!
Rhema did so well her teacher's report–she did not cry, she only hid her face a little and she was very well behaved. I put in her ear plugs to help with her sensory issues and even though she still could not focus enough to eat the popcorn while watching the movie, her teacher says she held a piece the entire time. LOL!
It was so strange and sad when I dropped her off and then drove away; Oh my little girl is growing up! After the movie, I picked her up and we went to her favorite place, the mall, and had lunch with her teachers and school mates.
Rhema has not stopped talking about Penguins since her movie day so when I heard our favorite paint place was painting Christmas Penguins, I knew we had to attend!
Most times Rhema will "help" momma paint, but this time she wanted to paint her own thing…. So we gave her a plate and let her have at it!
She would ask for the colors she wanted and we would squirt some on her palate and she would continue painting.
Here is our Penguin! Rhema thinks we did a good job!
Rhema loves to paint! Here she is painting at home, fireside, and enjoying her Holiday Season!

Green hydrogen shifts into high gear
Written by Aurélie Boob
The Hydrogen Council estimates that total investment in the industry could exceed $300bn by 2030. Image: Shutterstock
Is green hydrogen the game-changing alternative to fossil fuels for sustainable development? A study by Columbia Threadneedle Investments explains recent enthusiasm.
Using hydrogen as an energy source is not new, it has been used as an industrial chemical for over 100 years. Green hydrogen is considered the cleanest hydrogen produced in the world. It is produced by the electrolysis of water, which splits into hydrogen and oxygen. As long as the electrolysis is carried out using renewable energy, it is a zero-emission energy source. Therefore, if produced on a large scale, green hydrogen has the potential to become a key lever for reducing the footprint of hard-to-decarbonise sectors of the economy. A study co-led by Benjamin Kelly, senior analyst, global research; Heiko Schupp, global head of infrastructure; and Callum Neal, project manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments explains the current hype.
Government buy-in driven by zero-carbon goals
Climate change is accelerating and governments have an obligation to reduce their emissions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This has a direct impact on another key factor: government commitment to doing something about it. The Hydrogen Council, an industry-backed trade group, suggests that hydrogen could reduce global emissions by 6 gigatonnes--or 17% of global emissions in 2020--by 2050. Currently, some 66 countries have set net-zero emissions targets, 20 of which have unveiled hydrogen-based roadmaps. The ability of governments around the world to support green hydrogen both financially and in terms of infrastructure could prove crucial to the viability of the industry. Last year, the Chinese government released $20bn in funding for hydrogen projects. In August 2021, the UK government addressed the development of a thriving green carbon sector to meet the challenge of decarbonising its economy with its UK Hydrogen Strategy. It aims to develop 5GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, equivalent to the gas consumption of more than three million UK homes each year.
Attractive costs
The second key factor is the dramatic fall in the cost of producing green hydrogen over the last 10 years. The renewable energy used in electrolysis accounts for some 70% of the cost of hydrogen production and its price has fallen by around 70% over the last 10 years. The price of an electrolyser has also fallen by about 60% over the same period. It is reasonable to expect that these downward trends will continue, further enhancing the attractiveness of hydrogen. Bloomberg recently revised its forecast for the cost of green hydrogen in 2030 downwards by 13%.
Between December 2020 and August 2021, the number of green hydrogen projects increased more than threefold, with 359 large-scale projects announced globally. Europe is leading the way with $130bn of investment, but other regions are catching up. China is also emerging as a potential hydrogen giant, with more than 50 projects in the pipeline since it announced its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Globally, there are 228 hydrogen projects underway across the entire industry, including 17 very large-scale production projects.
If we add the rise of startups specialising in hydrogen production by means other than electrolysis, the Hydrogen Council estimates that total investment in the sector could exceed $300bn by 2030 and, according to the Energy Transitions Commission, it could reach around $15trn by 2050.
But demand is still limited
However, the analysts at Columbia Threadneedle Investments point out two obstacles to the general adoption of hydrogen. Firstly, demand is currently limited. Although on the production side, government support is growing, technology is advancing and costs are falling, demand for hydrogen is low at present. However, commitments to achieve carbon neutrality could stimulate demand. Further infrastructure development will be key to making green hydrogen the panacea for decarbonisation.
Secondly, the unpopularity of hydrogen in society is a stumbling block. Its use as a fuel has been decried since the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 (the German passenger airship LZ 129 caught fire and was destroyed when it tried to dock). Consumers and investors need to be made aware of the promise of hydrogen and convinced of its safety before it can be widely used. Asset managers appear to be increasingly aware of its potential and are working to raise investor awareness. They believe there are huge opportunities for the infrastructure sector, as without infrastructure projects there will be no large-scale hydrogen consumption.
The potential for green hydrogen to revolutionise the sustainable energy sector is real, judging by the huge progress we have seen in the last 12 months, both in terms of technological advances and government support. A decade from now, we may wonder why hydrogen was ever debated. However, the lack of demand is now the main barrier to the widespread deployment of hydrogen. The recent rise in energy prices may accelerate action over the next twelve months.

Ankara is making it abundantly clear that it considers the two Greek soldiers jailed earlier this month for accidentally crossing the Turkish border as pawns in a bargaining game.
This is an extremely dangerous development and Greece's allies – who have experience of similar situations with their own citizens – need to take a position on the issue.
We cannot accept a NATO member-state imprisoning the soldiers of a fellow NATO member, especially in a time of peace.

Introduction to IPO

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. In an IPO, a company offers its shares to the general public for the very first time through the primary stock market. A primary market, also known as the new issues market, is a place where securities are created or issued directly by the issuers and made available for trading on the secondary stock market.
The history of modern IPO dates back to March 1602, when the Dutch East India Company1 made a debut by offering its shares to the public to raise funds.
Why a Company Issues IPO Shares?
A company issues an IPO for a variety of reasons. Let us have a look at each of them in detail:
One of the main reasons behind launching an IPO is to raise capital for its expansion, growth, repayment of debts, and prospects.
A company needs funds at each stage of its business life cycle. It cannot directly launch an IPO as soon as it begins operations. A company goes through various funding stages for its capital requirement before going public.
Funding stages in the life-cycle of a company:
Self-funding, funding from family and friends.
Private Equity Investors
Once the above funding sources get utilized, a company opts to issue an IPO over any other funding source on account of the below reasons:
Angel Investors would have already exhausted their capacity.
Raising more funds from Venture Capitalists or private equity investors would mean losing control over the company with the majority company stake going into their hands.
Taking a bank loan would mean an increase in debt for the company with the added burden of interest and capital repayment.
Exit for early investors
An IPO can be a Fresh issue, an Offer for sale (OFS), or a combination of both. The existing investors or promoters can reduce their stake in the company by selling their shares to the general public in an IPO through OFS. It helps the early investors/promoters exit from the company and options to look for other opportunities.
A company needs capital to expand its business and finance other projects. An IPO helps a company raise a lot of money required for the growth of the business.
Repay loan
Some companies may have heavy loans. Taking more debt to clear the existing ones would mean additional interest and repayment burden. The IPO proceeds can help a company cut down its debt levels where there is no worry about capital repayment.
Enhanced credibility
An IPO gives publicity to a company through media coverage. IPO enhances the brand image of the company. A listed company is required to maintain transparency in its business and operations. If the company's performance and prospects are bright, it enhances the credibility and visibility of the company.
IPO Advantages and Disadvantages
Like every coin has two sides, an IPO has pros and cons for the company and the investors.
1. IPO Advantages to the Company
IPO helps a company raise a huge amount of fundsto finance its growth, expansion, capital expenditure, repayment of loans, and much more.
IPO provides an exit route for the promoters and early investors.
IPO is a low-cost capitalraising option as the companies do not have to pay any interest on the funds raised from the general public nor have to return the capital raised.
Public companies get easy access to financecompared to private companies. The reason is that public companies need to maintain transparency in their business operations which reduces the risk to lenders with all the information available for verification.
IPO enhances the company's visibility and recognition and helps build a brand imagefor the company.
IPO increases the prestige of employees and boosts their confidence in the company. It helps retain employees and also attracts new staff.
IPO enables the correct valuation of the company.
IPO inculcates discipline in the management as the company is answerable to its shareholders for all their actions.
By going public, a company gets to know the outsider's perspective.It helps them plan their actions for better prospects.
2. IPO Benefits to the Investors
Zero cost investment as there are no charges to apply for an IPO, unlike when one purchases shares from the secondary market where one needs to pay brokerage and regulatory fees.
IPO application is a simple, easy, and hassle-free process.
By applying for IPO, investors get an opportunity to be a part of profitable and growth prospective companies.
IPO offers a chance to earn handsome and quick rewards in the case of premium listing or allows wealth creation in case of long-term investment.
Stringent IPO Norms make IPO markets more professional and safer.
The Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) issued for the IPO has all the required details of the company that helps investors make an informed decision.
In case of successful allotment, investors become company's shareholder. Shareholders could participate in certain corporate action matters and elect members to the board of directors by voting rights.
3. IPO Disadvantages for the company
Launching an IPO is a time-consuming process as it takes lots of time and effort from the management.
Though IPO is a low-cost capital raising method, it can turn out to be expensive based on the cost of the investment banker, lead manager, and underwriters.
IPO can lead to dilution of ownership among various shareholders which was earlier restricted to a few promoters and investors.
A company launching IPO becomes liable to do regular regulatory filing with required disclosures. It adds to the administrative cost for the company as the firm needs to hire a team to monitor and complete these tasks.
By going public, the firm becomes accountable to its investors and thus needs to maintain investor relations and expectations.
4. IPO Disadvantages to Investors
Investors do not have any background of the company launching IPO as it is a new company coming into the public for the first time. An investor needs to go through the entire RHP to know all the company details.
An investor can face losses in the case of discount listing when applied with an aim of quick returns (listing gain).
There is no guaranteed allotment in an IPO in case of oversubscription.
IPO Types (Mainline IPO and SME IPO)
An IPO is classified either as a Mainline IPO or an SME IPO based on the post-issue paid-up capital of the company.
1. Mainline IPO (Mainboard IPO)
A Mainline IPO, also known as Mainboard IPO, is a Regular IPO issued by large companies that have an extensive track record and satisfies the required IPO eligibility criteria of SEBI.
The minimum post-issue paid-up capital of a Mainboard IPO should be Rs 10 crores.
2. SME IPO
An SME IPO is an IPO by Small and Medium Enterprises or startups. The post-issue paid-up capital of SME IPO should not be more than Rs 25 crores.
Mainboard IPO vs SME IPO
Mainboard IPO
Stringent and Complex Eligibility Norms.
Relaxed Eligibility Norms

The minimum IPO application size is between Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000.
The minimum IPO application size is Rs 1 lakh.
Listing and trading on NSE/BSE.
Listing and trading on SME platforms - BSE SME/NSE Emerge.
1. What IPO means?
IPO means the Initial Public Offer in which a company offers its securities to the general public for the first time.
The securities offered to the public can be new securities or the sale of securities by existing investors or promoters.
2. What IPO stands for?
The full form of IPO is Initial Public Offer.
IPO is an example of a primary market wherein the issuer company directly sells or offers its securities to the public for the first time and gets listed on exchange/s for secondary market trading.
Whenever a listed company issues new securities to existing or new investors, it is known as a follow-on public offer (FPO).
3. When IPO started in India?
The Dutch East India Company is said to be the first company that made a debut in IPO by offering its shares to the public to raise capital in March 1602.
4. Why an IPO is issued?
A company issues an IPO for a variety of reasons. The first and foremost reason is to raise capital.
A few other purposes for a company to launch an IPO are as per below:
To build a brand image.
Loan repayment.
Low-cost capital.
Dilute promoter holdings.
Enhance credibility.
5. Are IPOs profitable?
Yes, IPOs are profitable if you invest in the right IPOs post proper analysis. Most of the IPOs offer handsome rewards with short-term listing gains, while few others may reap benefits in the long term.
Before investing in an IPO, you should do some self-study on the company's background and performance. You can find IPO details, RHP, and IPO reviews from experts on Chittorgarh.com to help you make an informed decision on your IPO investment.
6. Are IPOs safe?
IPO is regulated by SEBI laid Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements (ICDR) Regulations. The SEBI's stringent norms make IPO a safe process.
You can apply for IPO online or offline at your convenience. When you apply for an IPO, the IPO application money gets blocked in your bank account that you cannot use for any other purpose, but it continues to earn interest. The funds get debited only once you get an allotment in the IPO. If you do not get any shares in an IPO, the funds get unblocked as per the given IPO schedule. Thus, your funds remain safe in the bank account.
7. Why IPO is good?
IPO is good as it has benefits for the company and the investors.
IPO benefits for the company:
Fulfill capital requirements.
Help to repay loans and reduce debt.
No repayment of capital is required.
Exit route for promoters and existing investors.

Comair war eine US-amerikanische Regionalfluggesellschaft mit Sitz in Boone County und ein Tochterunternehmen der Delta Air Lines. Sie führte für diese Regional- und Zubringerflüge unter der Dachmarke Delta Connection durch. Am 29. September 2012 wurde der Flugbetrieb eingestellt.

Geschichte
Die Fluggesellschaft wurde 1977 von David Mueller und seinem Vater Raymond in Cincinnati gegründet und begann den Flugdienst mit drei Piper PA-31. Im Jahr 1981 wurde das Unternehmen an die Börse gebracht, um das Wachstum zu finanzieren. Teil der Dachmarke Delta Connection wurde sie 1984. Delta Air Lines kaufte 1986 20 % von Comair und übernahm 1999 alle Anteile für über zwei Milliarden US-Dollar.

Im Jahr 2001 traten die Piloten von Comair in einen Streik und legten damit den Betrieb für 89 Tage still. Weihnachten 2004 musste Comair auf Grund eines Computerfehlers sämtliche 1160 Flüge streichen, 30.000 Fluggäste waren betroffen.

Im Jahr 2005 zog die Muttergesellschaft Delta Air Lines Comair zeitweise mit unter den Schutz des Insolvenzparagrafen Chapter 11.

Im Juli 2012 gab Delta bekannt, dass Comair aufgrund einer Restrukturierung innerhalb des Konzerns Ende September 2012 den Betrieb einstellen und aufgelöst werden würde. Bereits in den Jahren zuvor wurden sukzessive knapp 100 Flugzeuge ersatzlos ausgemustert. Dies war vor allem darauf zurückzuführen, dass Delta ihre Flotte an Flugzeugen mit 50 oder weniger Sitzen stark verkleinern wollte. Die restlichen Flugzeuge der Comair, die mehr als 50 Sitze hatten, wurden in die Hauptlinie Delta Airlines eingegliedert.

Ziele
Comair flog unter der Marke Delta Connection für Delta Air Lines viele Ziele in den USA, in Kanada und auf den Bahamas an. Neben New York und Cincinnati waren Greensboro und Orlando weitere wichtige Knotenpunkte.

Flotte
Mit Stand Juli 2012 bestand die Flotte der Comair aus 52 Flugzeugen:

 13 Bombardier CRJ100
 11 Bombardier CRJ200
 15 Bombardier CRJ700
 13 Bombardier CRJ900

Zwischenfälle
 Am 9. Januar 1997 stürzte eine Embraer EMB 120 der Comair (Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen N265CA) während des Anfluges auf den Flughafen Detroit ab. Die Piloten der Maschine hatten die Kontrolle verloren, nachdem sich an den Tragflächen Raueis angesammelt hatte. Keiner der 29 Menschen an Bord überlebte den Absturz.

 Am 27. August 2006 kamen beim Startunfall einer von Comair betriebenen Bombardier CRJ100 auf dem Comair-Flug 5191 49 Menschen ums Leben. Die Maschine rollte beim Start um 06:00 Uhr Ortszeit bei Lexington mit hohem Tempo in ein Waldstück und brannte aus. Sie war auf dem Weg nach Atlanta. Ein herbeieilender Polizei-Offizier konnte gerade noch den Copiloten aus dem Cockpit ziehen, der als einziger den Absturz überlebte. Ersten Erkenntnissen nach starteten die Piloten von der falschen Startbahn, die für einen erfolgreichen Start 500 m zu kurz war.

Q: Why does bash output data instead of executing, when a script is piped? I'm running the following script on Ubuntu 14.04:
#!/bin/bash

apt-get purge -y nginx
apt-get install -y nginx

date

When I run it like cat /tmp/script | bash, apt-get starts installing, then "date" is printed (not the actual date, but the command name), then the remaining apt-get output is printed.
If however I run the script like /tmp/script, it works as expected: printing the date after apt-get finished.
Why does this happen and how can I force bash to work when being piped to the same way it does when invoked directly?

A: You'll have to close (or otherwise redirect) the standard input of the individual commands:
#!/bin/bash

apt-get purge -y nginx <&-
apt-get install -y nginx <&-

date

Otherwise subsequent line are fed to the commands.

The orphan stars that roam the galaxies like 'misplaced souls'
They are torn from their houses and roam in clusters that embody hundreds of galaxies. Studying the "ghost mild" they emit might unlock considered one of the universe's nice mysteries.
There are stars that drift by means of the universe "like misplaced souls," in response to NASA. And the mild they emit is so faint that the US house company describes it as a "ghost fog."
We are speaking about stars that, in contrast to the most well-known ones, don't stay in a galaxy. They have been wandering for billions of years by means of clusters that unite hundreds of galaxies, in response to a brand new examine carried out utilizing photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope.
But how had been the wandering stars torn from their mother or father galaxies?
Studying these "misplaced souls" is essential, in response to Spanish astronomer Mireya Montes of the Institute of Astrophysics in the Canary Islands.
Montes studied the faint mild emitted by wandering stars known as intracluster mild. She defined to BBC News Mundo, the BBC's Spanish service, that this comfortable glow might reveal not solely the construction of galaxy clusters, but additionally the nature of considered one of the universe's biggest mysteries: darkish matter.
What are wandering stars?
Montes explains that "in galaxy clusters, that are the largest buildings sure collectively by gravity, galaxies — there might be a whole bunch to hundreds of them — are present in an astronomically small house."
The scientist claims that as a result of they're so shut collectively, the galaxies work together gravitationally with one another. And in these interactions, some stars are thrown out of their positions and find yourself inhabiting intergalactic house.
Montes compares these interactions to the tidal forces between the Earth and the Moon. "On Earth, if you really feel the energy of the tide, you do not see a lot besides the rise of the sea. But in the case of galaxies that are usually not strong, these forces pull the stars out of the galaxies. "
Over time, the interactions create a really diffuse mild, which we name the intrinsic cluster mild.
"I liken it, maintaining the proportions, to writing on the blackboard," explains Montes. "This mud is launched little by little, due to the friction of the chalk with the plate."

The comfortable mild of wandering stars
Wandering stars are, for the most half, much like our Sun, in response to Montes. But as a result of they're so broadly scattered, they glow very dimly, accounting for about 1% or much less of the brightness of the darkest sky we've got on Earth.
"If we go to an expert observatory, like these in Chile or the Canary Islands, the sky is darker as a result of we at all times attempt to keep away from mild air pollution," she explains. "Imagine the mild being 1% or much less of this very darkish sky!"
The new examine of Hubble information relies on 10 cluster galaxies situated almost 10 billion light-years from Earth. The examine revealed that the fraction of intracluster mild relative to whole cluster mild has remained fixed for billions of years.
This means that "these stars have already been displaced in the early phases of cluster formation," in response to James Gee of Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, who's considered one of the examine's authors.
Spanish astronomer Mireya Montes of the Institute of Astrophysics in the Canary Islands makes use of very deep photographs of the universe to check the formation and evolution of galaxies. She is searching for clues about the mysterious darkish matter

What does this mild reveal about darkish matter?
Mireia Montes explains that learning the properties of the intra-cluster mild, in addition to the age of the stars and the quantity of metals they include, gives details about the historical past of the construction.
"What we examine in the sky could be very static, we solely have snapshots of what's taking place to the object of examine," she says. "But after we examine inner cluster mild, it is like having a doc of the cluster's previous."
The internal cluster mild additionally gives clues about the mysterious darkish matter. Estimates recommend that darkish matter makes up about 25% of all matter in the cosmos, nevertheless it can't be noticed instantly as a result of it doesn't take in, replicate or emit mild.
But scientists comprehend it exists due to the results darkish matter produces on objects that might be noticed.
In 1997, a Hubble picture revealed how mild from a distant cluster of galaxies bends because it passes by means of one other cluster in entrance of it. This impact is called gravitational lensing.
The scientists estimate that the mass of the cluster in the foreground of the picture have to be 250 occasions that of seen matter for it to bend mild on this method. They consider that darkish matter is the reason behind this unexplained mass.

In what seems to be a smiley face in the heart of the picture, the two "eyes" are very vivid galaxies, and the "smile" is a rainbow of sunshine attributable to gravitational lensing. The cluster distorts and bends the mild from the objects behind it
In the case of wandering stars, Montes and different researchers demonstrated in 2019 that the mild from these stars follows the distribution of darkish matter in galaxy clusters.
"Remember that these stars are usually not related to galaxies that type diffuse and prolonged mild," explains the astronomer. "In addition, they oscillate with the cluster's gravity. There is about 300 occasions extra darkish matter mass in these buildings than the stars."
"That's why mild tracks darkish matter so nicely, as a result of it lives in the elements of the cluster the place darkish matter predominates." And that has essential implications, in response to Montes.

"Usually we all know how the mass is distributed in clusters as a result of they're like gravitational lenses," explains the astronomer. "That is, they deform and improve the brightness of what's behind them. For this cause, folks have a tendency to make use of them to look at the distant universe, as a result of they make it simpler to look at these very distant galaxies."
"But if we wish to know the true properties of those objects, we have to know what this lens, the galaxy cluster, appears to be like like and the way it distorts the actual picture of the distant galaxy."
This requires extra refined strategies, akin to modeling and spectroscopy. But, utilizing intracluster mild, it's only essential to "take a really deep image" of those objects.
The James Webb Space Telescope is anticipated to make main advances in the examine of intracluster faint mild

Montes factors out that there may be nonetheless quite a bit we do not find out about the inner cluster mild: the way it evolves over time and the way the mass of the cluster is expounded to the quantity of sunshine, for instance.
Another query, in response to the scientist, is how the distribution of mass in galaxy clusters is expounded to the very nature of darkish matter.
The James Webb Space Telescope, whose first photographs had been launched in July 2022, is anticipated to deliver main advances in the examine of intracluster mild.
"We consider that James Webb shall be revolutionary in lots of facets of astronomy and, on this case, the intracluster mild," in response to Montes. She factors out that the James Webb Telescope is bigger than Hubble and is subsequently extra environment friendly at observing fainter objects as a result of it will possibly accumulate extra mild in much less time.

Torrential rain for days has followed on from near constant rainfall these past weeks and months. But, since Christmas Day afternoon the rain has been incessant, unrelenting and prolific. It has resulted in chaos throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire – the citizens of Cumbria will be relieved as it was forecast to hit them instead and, with the floods they suffered just weeks ago, they were braced for further damage to homes and businesses.
Instead, it missed them and caused mayhem closer to my home. Just a few miles down the valley, the towns of Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden were hit as the rivers and canals burst their banks flooding the towns. My own town of Brighouse didn't escape either; the River Calder becoming a torrent that proved unstoppable. It overtopped its banks in many places and, in the canal basin, the locks are submerged and footpaths and towpaths under water.
Thankfully, when Sarah and I walked out with the dogs to witness the scenes for ourselves, Artisan, one of my most longest client and owned by two lovely people, hadn't yet been hit as they had been just weeks ago. They are not yet over the problems caused by that flood and I feared greatly for them as this most recent one was poised to cause damage.
Walking further into town, the power of the water and the the devastation it causes was evident in man places. Here, roads and car parks are submerged and a car is stranded, presumably a write off, amidst the waters.

Kidman hurt during 'zombie' crash
Nicole Kidman's car was being towed during filming
Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman was taken to hospital after being involved in a car crash while filming a zombie scene in her latest film.
She and seven others were released from Los Angeles hospitals after checks. None were seriously injured.
Kidman, reputed to be the highest-paid actress in the world, was behind the wheel of a Jaguar during production of The Invasion, when the crash occurred.
Her publicist said the car was being towed by a filming vehicle at the time.
"The stunt driver apparently went off course and hit a light post," said Los Angeles police officer Karen Smith.
The accident happened on a public street in the city, which had been sealed off for filming, at about 0100 (0900 GMT) on Thursday.
Ms Smith said police would probably conduct a routine traffic accident investigation at the scene.
Kidman's publicist, Catherine Olim, said the star was trying to shake zombies off the bonnet of her Jaguar when the car spun off the road.
"I think she's OK," said Ms Olim.
She said Kidman, 39, was examined at hospital then released two hours later, and was expected to go straight back to work.

Q: Data.table: rbind a list of data tables with unequal columns I have a list of data tables that are of unequal lengths. Some of the data tables have 35 columns and others have 36.
I have this line of code, but it generates an error
> lst <- unlist(full_data.lst, recursive = FALSE)
> model_dat <- do.call("rbind", lst)
Error in rbindlist(l, use.names, fill, idcol) :
  Item 1362 has 35 columns, inconsistent with item 1 which has 36 columns. If instead you need to fill missing columns, use set argument 'fill' to TRUE.

Any suggestions on how I can modify that so that it works properly.

A: Here's a minimal example of what you are trying to do.
No need to use any other package to do this. Just set fill=TRUE in rbindlist.
You can do this:
df1 <- data.table(m1 = c(1,2,3))
df2 <- data.table(m1 = c(1,2,3), m2=c(3,4,5))

df3 <- rbindlist(list(df1, df2), fill=T)

print(df3)

   m1 m2
1:  1 NA
2:  2 NA
3:  3 NA
4:  1  3
5:  2  4
6:  3  5

A: Try to use rbind.fill from package plyr:
Input data, 3 dataframes with different number of columns
df1<-data.frame(a=c(1,2,3,4,5),b=c(1,2,3,4,5))
df2<-data.frame(a=c(1,2,3,4,5,6),b=c(1,2,3,4,5,6),c=c(1,2,3,4,5,6))
df3<-data.frame(a=c(1,2,3),d=c(1,2,3))

full_data.lst<-list(df1,df2,df3)

The solution
library("plyr")
rbind.fill(full_data.lst)
   a  b  c  d
1  1  1 NA NA
2  2  2 NA NA
3  3  3 NA NA
4  4  4 NA NA
5  5  5 NA NA
6  1  1  1 NA
7  2  2  2 NA
8  3  3  3 NA
9  4  4  4 NA
10 5  5  5 NA
11 6  6  6 NA
12 1 NA NA  1
13 2 NA NA  2
14 3 NA NA  3

A: If I understood your question correctly, I could possibly see only two options for having your data tables appended.
Option A: Drop the extra variable from one of the datasets
table$column_Name <- NULL

Option B) Create the variable with missing values in the incomplete dataset.
full_data.lst$column_Name <- NA

And then do rbind function.
