3 Questions: Demystifying Venture Capital with John McDonald
This is the first installment in our "3 Questions" series contributed by subject matter experts throughout the tech community in Indiana. This series takes complex tech topics and explains them in easy-to-understand ways without the dense jargon so every reader can learn a little bit more about our industry.
When we set out to build our first startup company, I had no idea how time consuming and confusing it would be to raise capital. I didn't appreciate that it wasn't just one of my jobs as the leader, it is the primary job as a leader of a startup company.
Everything else flows from success in raising capital. It allows you to hire the people and partners you need to build the company and keep them aboard, which is the secret to any successful business.
3 Questions:
What types of capital sources are available to startups?
What is the difference between the types of capital?
What are the keys to unlocking capital?
There are primarily four types, and they align very nicely to the four stages of the development process of a new technology startup employed by venture studios everywhere like Central Indiana's High Alpha and my own venture NEXT Studios.
The first stage is ideation.
This is where you create new ideas for startups, and "pressure test" those ideas by studying things like your target buyer and market and what problem you are solving for them. Typically, the venture capital employed at this stage is called "pre-seed funding," which is often sourced from your friends and family. These people are investing in your company largely because of you—who you are to them and what they believe you can do with their investment when given a chance. Often, your closest friend and initial investor is yourself—this is called "bootstrapping" and is simply using your own money to start up your own company. An extremely limited number of "pre seed" organized funds also make initial investments at this stage, many of which are tied to local economic development or industry initiatives. In Indiana, you can sometimes start a company with as little as $25,000 in pre-seed capital (though $100,000 is more typical), especially if there is a physical device as part of the product idea.
The second stage is productization.
This is where you take your initial idea, which has been vetted in the ideation stage, and turn it into a "minimum viable product" or MVP. This is the first complete release of your offering, and while it may not have every feature you will ever want, it's enough to get it in the hands of some pilot users and gather their feedback. You'll use that feedback to improve the product and build your "go-to-market" strategy to engage and win customers, which you'll use in the next phase. Typically, the venture capital employed at this stage is called "seed funding", and often comes what are called "angel investors." Angels are high-net worth individuals who deploy some of their wealth at this stage for many reasons, the most likely of which is that they are also successful entrepreneurs who want to help new startups take flight. These investments are high risk, and in some ways are like organized gambling, where they bet they are placing is on you and your idea. In Indiana, I've seen angel-backed seed funding rounds as small as $200,000, but more typically these are between $500,000 and $1 million, depending on how complicated the MVP is to build and test.
The third stage is launch.
This is where you take the go-to-market strategy you developed in stage two, coupled with the improvements you've made to your product through your pilot users, and launch a full-scale plan to attract, win and keep customers. This is where you start to grow your team substantially for the first time, largely by hiring business development representatives, inside sellers, outside sales representatives, marketers and customer success reps, depending on the talent needs of your go-to-market strategy. Typically, the venture capital employed at this stage is called your "A-round," or the first of what may be many future rounds of venture capital, and it's often sourced from organized venture funds.
Venture funds are a unique type of investment vehicle. Unlike angel investors, where individuals make the decisions about what startups to invest in with their own money, venture funds are made up of "limited partners" or LPs who sign over money to the care of a group of "managing partners" who are employed by the fund to scour opportunities, make investments, and manage those investments for the LPs. They are paid management fees for this, and usually a "carry," which is a share of the profits if any of those investments result in a successful return. Venture capital funds will have a stated focus for their investments, a range for the amount of investment they will make (called a "check size") and some process for reviewing and scoring potential deals (called a "thesis"). These parameters are typically unwavering, as they are what was used to attract limited partners to invest in the fund, and therefore cannot be changed easily. Sometimes VCs will insist on "leading" a round, which is to say they are responsible for building and executing the deal on behalf of themselves and other investors, and in a deep review of the company's structure, finances and team, called "due diligence."
In Indiana we have a unique organization called Elevate Ventures, which is funded in part by the State of Indiana to make equity investments in startup companies. They are a venture fund, but often work with angel investors and other funds to co-invest in companies at this stage to help them succeed and pull together smaller sources of funding who may not be in position to lead the round. Because of Elevate, "A-Round" investments can often be as small as $500,000 and be made up of multiple smaller investments, but typical launch-stage investments are in the $1 million to $3 million range.
The final stage is the scale stage.
This is when you've proven your go-to-market strategy works, and you're seeking funds to scale up the company's operations to grow its market share and continue to improve the product. This is the primary domain of most later-stage venture capital firms, who like to see success in the marketplace (called "traction") and financial stability and sales growth that suggest that the company might be able to make a profit (called a "pathway to breakeven"). Each venture capital round at this stage will be labeled the "B-Round," the "C-Round" and so on, and can grow in size from $2 million to $10 million or more, until the company has reached a scale where venture capital is no longer required to fuel growth initiatives.
Venture capital in all its forms is the oxygen that makes technology businesses live. Success in raising venture capital is largely tied to clear objectives as to how the money will be used to advance the company to the next stage. It's a necessary part of growing a company faster than normal business cycles would, because technology rapidly becomes obsolete. It's effectively a "growth hormone" and like any medicine, it should be taken as directed by an educated patient.

Listen to my podcasts on:
"If you want a proper adaptation strategy to the Coronavirus, then you must finally properly tackle climate change. There. I said it." In this Episode 34, The Angry Clean Energy Guy describes what the "exit strategy" is for the global Coronavirus lockdown and how this exit strategy is so similar to the one from climate change; and then he describes some of the future trends that we can already see shaping our society post-Coronavirus and what these mean, especially from the perspective of climate change.

I am quite used to living with a catastrophic emergency all around me. Indeed, you could say that I know the drill, and practice it daily.
I don't know if this might ring a bell, but the catastrophic emergency I am talking about is:
Global.
It's scary.
It instills fear when you think about it.
It's an emergency.
You can't touch it.
It kills.
It affects the poor more than the rich
It's solvable if we could only bend the curve.
And no, it's not the Coronavirus, it's climate change: The parallels between the two are incredible. They're astounding.
What I would like to talk about today, if you'll allow me, are two things: First, what is the exit strategy for the Coronavirus, now that billions of us are in lockdown? And how is this exit strategy so similar to the climate change one? Second, what are some of the future trends that we can already see shaping our society post Coronavirus – and I mean relatively permanent future trends – and what do these mean, especially sorry from the perspective of climate change?
Welcome to Episode 34 of The Angry Clean Energy Guy with me, Assaad Razzouk. Thank you for listening.
TRAVELING BETWEEN THE US, THE UK AND LEBANON
I want to tell you a story. It's about the recent experience of a friend of mine who lives between Beirut and Washington, D. C., traveling between these two cities.
On the eighth of March, she travels to Washington, D. C. From London. At that time, she leaves London and there are no health checks at Heathrow. She arrives in Washington, D. C.; there are no health checks in Washington, D. C. It's the eighth of March.
By then, Lebanon, in the middle of a banking crisis and having defaulted on its debt, had closed all of its schools because of the Coronavirus "to bend the curve".
My friend stays in D. C. until the first of April. She desperately wants to get back to Beirut, her home.
She flies on the first of April, that's 10 days ago, from Washington, D. C. To London. Her temperature is not checked flying out of the United States. Her temperature is not checked coming into the United Kingdom. Nobody forces her to isolate, quarantine or anything like that. She then sits and waits for the Lebanese Embassy in London to inform her when her evacuation flight to Beirut is going to take place.
Because Lebanon, meanwhile, had not only closed its schools, restaurants, bars, etc., it's also closed its airport.
Nine days later, on the ninth of April, she gets a seat on an evacuation flight from London to Beirut. When she arrives at the airport, the flight is one-third full in order to maintain social distancing. Onboard, there are two doctors roaming the plane. The crew is decked out like astronauts with all the latest protective equipment. Everyone, when they come on board, are asked to throw away their masks and gloves, if any, and to put on masks and gloves that the crew give them. Everybody's temperature is checked. Everybody gets a color bracelet that indicates their condition, whether they have been tested before boarding, whether they need to be tested at landing, whether they have any symptoms, etc. Everybody's given pre-packaged food on arrival.
In Beirut, disembarkation is slow and takes place on a row by row basis. First, they're checked by people from the Ministry of Health. Then they're tested for the Coronavirus. They get on buses in groups of nine. The suitcases are in a separate bus. They are sent to a hotel, where they sit and wait for the results of their tests. If their tests are negative, they will be able to go home, provided they self-isolate at home for 14 days.
So just contrast how two of the richest countries in the world, the United States and the United Kingdom, are dealing with the Coronavirus compared to some of the poorest or most needy countries in the world, whether, by the way, it's Lebanon or Tunisia or almost all of Asia.
What is going on? Why is it that seemingly the US simply cannot get their act together? How come a bankrupt country like Lebanon is doing such an amazing job with the incredibly limited resources at their disposal? Because, remember, in Lebanon, Coronavirus tests are free and treatment at the hospitals is free as well. So how come they're doing such a good job while the UK and the US are not? What happened?
I think I can take a guess at what happened.
IGNORING THE SCIENCE
Let me give you a couple of other observations in addition to the story of my friend.
Somehow, we're in the midst of a Coronavirus stimulus spending globally of at least five trillion – that's trillion – dollars and counting, because I'm sure the United States is going top it up with at least another two trillion soon, which materialized instantly.
So all that money materialized instantly through the very same politicians that could have spent a fraction of that amount to beat climate change and the very same politicians and political parties that killed healthcare systems to exacerbate the very same problem – the Coronavirus – that they are today throwing money at.
And the very same politicians today are behind the loss off over 1,000,000,000 jobs, that's a billion jobs, through government policies that are destroying on a daily basis lives, jobs and businesses just because the politicians killed healthcare systems over decades to the benefit of companies selling arms, to the benefit of Big Oil and to the benefit of other big corporates.
So what happened? I'll tell you what happened.
We ignored scientific warnings on pandemics for a couple of decades.
We gutted our response mechanisms, our hospitals, our nursing staff, our protective equipment, our ability to test people.
So, we ignored scientific warnings. We ignored the science. We went off and we did something else.
And guess what? That's exactly what we're doing with climate change and what we have been doing for decades with climate change.
LACK OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
There's another thing that's going on. The lack of international cooperation on the Coronavirus is stunning. It's everybody for themselves. It's everybody for themselves, everywhere.
And guess what? The parallels with the climate change talks are uncanny. Just like the climate change talks, where it's every government for themselves and if we're lucky, a regional block gets their act together as a group, but broadly speaking, it's everybody for themselves, the Coronavirus is showing us that very same feature again.
EXIT STRATEGY
So, the obvious question today is what is the exit strategy? How do we get out of having locked up billions of people in their homes because the politicians have under-invested in our health care systems and don't quite know what to do, because they have failed to prepare for pandemics?
Governments know that it's their fault. They know they don't really have the moral authority, other than through fear and the propagation of fear through the population, to keep billions locked up. They know they don't have the moral authority because they know that they have failed us. This may not yet be a common refrain, but it will soon become one: Governments have under invested in health care systems; they have under-invested in planning for pandemics, even though scientists have been warning about these for decades; and they're all guilty. China, the United States, the EU, Britain, all of the rich countries are guilty.
And, to state the obvious, they have been doing exactly the same thing on climate change for a long time.
So how are they going to let us out? Well, to be honest, it's not that complicated.
In climate change terms, a vaccine is when you've solved the problem. We have not solved the Coronavirus problem because we have no vaccine. So what we can do, meanwhile, is we can deal with the problem through mitigation first and adaptation, either at the same time or subsequently.
For COVID-19, mitigation is actually happening years late, but it's happening. We're investing in hospital beds. We're investing in a faster response. We're investing in tracing. We're investing in protective equipment and we're investing in tests. Fine.
What about COVID-19 adaptation? Well, what's being discussed, which is obvious again, is to keep various forms of social distancing until we have a vaccine. So they'll open schools first. They'll then open the offices and ask us to stay two meters apart. They'll open non-essential shops, then restaurants and cafes. And finally they'll open public arenas like football stadiums. At the same time, I hope very nicely, they'll ask the elderly and those with underlying health conditions to stay in.
But what I hardly find discussed is this: If you want proper adaptation to the Coronavirus, then you must tackle climate change. There. I've said it. If you want proper adaptation to the Coronavirus, then you must tackle climate change.
Coronaviruses are a family of viruses, so there are lots of them. There is MERS, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. There is SARS, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. In case you did not know, in 2008, a team of researchers from the Zoological Society of London, from the Wildlife Trust and from Columbia University identified 335 – that's 335 – new diseases that emerged between 1960 and 2004. And 60% of these came from animals, in other words, spilled-over from animals.
So we've known for a while that outbreaks of animal-born and other infectious diseases such as Ebola that you've heard of, the bird flu, SARS, MERS and now COVID-19 are on the rise. Pathogens are crossing from animals to humans, and many can quickly spread to new places. We know that. We've known that for a long time. That's what makes me really angry. We know that, and we've done nothing about it in China. We've done nothing about it in Europe. In the US, we've done even less than nothing: We dialed back the little that we've been doing.
At the risk of being repetitive, there's a combination of elements that explains why we are seeing more and more Coronaviruses infecting humans in the last 50 years. And if we don't do something about them, expect even more. All are directly linked to human activity.
You've got deforestation, combined with illegal wildlife trade, combined with intensive agriculture, combined with the very bad way in which we produce our meat, combined with an overuse of antibiotics. And all of that is wrapped into a climate change crisis, which is a threat multiplier across all of these areas.
So, when you kill biodiversity, what you're doing is you are not keeping pathogens from leaving the wild. The virus spill-over risk from wildlife to people rises as contact between us and them increases. I mean, that's obvious.
But despite years of shouting from the roofs alongside massive corporate pledges, clearly 99% empty, to stop deforestation, which is the largest driver of biodiversity loss, habitats continue to vanish at incredible rates. And as they vanish, wildlife comes into closer contact with us.
When you tackle climate change, you promote three critical things. You promote resilience, which we've now proven we so dramatically lack. You promote biodiversity, which we absolutely need to manage all these virus explosions and you promote sustainability. At the same time, you minimize the risk of an increasing frequency of black swans.
And I want to give you just one example which I don't know how many of you have heard of: Permafrost.
Permafrost is basically any type of ground that's been frozen continuously for up to hundreds of thousands of years. It extends down beneath the surface of the earth to sometimes more than a couple of kilometres. Twenty-five per cent of the entire Northern Hemisphere is permafrost, there the ground is frozen year-round. This is widespread in the Arctic regions of Siberia, Canada, Greenland, Alaska, etc.
But it's what the permafrost represents which is interesting.
When plants and animals die, the microbes that decompose from their bodies release all sorts of gases, including, by the way, greenhouse gases. The permafrost puts a deep freeze and hits the pause button on that process. So you're preserving organisms and gases that otherwise would have gone into the atmosphere.
So, what you have today stored in the permafrost is many thousands of years of life, from humans to plants to mammoth. And it's one of the world's great stores of gases: We have in the Arctic alone, twice as much carbon as exists in the atmosphere now. We also have there an enormous amount of methane, which is another greenhouse gas super-powerful that traps more than 80 times more heat than carbon.
So, we've got all that stuff frozen, and we know pretty much what's frozen: It's gases and microbes.
And there are enormous amounts of ancient microbes in that permafrost, some dormant for thousands of years. And these are clearly microbes that our organism, that humans have no idea how to deal with if they were to resurface and this is happening slowly for now.
In 2016 there was an outbreak of Anthrax in Siberia linked to a decades old carcass of reindeer, which was infected with this bacterium and then exposed by melting permafrost.
So, what is super clear is that developing the Arctic, extracting permafrost to mine for precious metals and petroleum and exacerbating our climate change problem, well, increasingly that puts permafrost in danger and melts it.
Guess as a result, what our wise governments are promoting and what our big corporates are doing? What they're doing is they're warming the hell out of the planet to thaw the permafrost, in other words, to melt it, in other words, to release an enormous amount of carbon that we possibly wouldn't even survive. And if we did, we would be hit by the enormous amount of microbes that's just been released.
You know that. I know that everybody should know that. However, we are doing exactly the opposite.
So back to Covid-19.
Mitigation is happening fast because we are throwing an enormous amount of money at it. And the reason we're throwing an enormous amount of money at it, and that's $5 trillion counting, is because we have politicians with a guilt complex. They know they indirectly caused it by under-investing in our health care systems. They know that Covid-19 adaptation, however, is a completely different ballgame. Social distancing is not going to be enough. Even when we get a vaccine. A vaccine is not going to be enough because we're going to have other Coronaviruses that will emerge.
So, what we need if you want proper adaptation to the Coronavirus is, we need to tackle climate change seriously. We need to stop deforestation. We need to stop the illegal wildlife trade. We need to improve our agricultural practices. We need to improve how we produce our meat. We need to be much smarter about how we use antibiotics, and we need to stop emitting greenhouse gases by burning oil, gas and coal.
So as you can see, I've had a lot of pent up anger about the Coronavirus. But the good news is that now it's out and on tape. Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate it. But there is so much to be angry about.
The second part of my podcast is more hopeful, however.
What are some of the future trends that we can already see shaping our society post COVID-19? And what do these mean, including from the perspective of the fight against climate change?
I'll tell you what, there is one which is super crystal clear, especially if you look at the history of pandemics. The Great Plague, which lasted for hundreds of years and pretty much finished off in the 1666 Great Plague in London, felt like Armageddon. However, it was also the beginning of a scientific awakening in the West, which culminated in the Industrial Revolution.
Why? Because the most important thing society took back from its plague experience is to listen to the science.
Personally, I think that is the most important future trend that you can expect from Covid-19: Science is going to regain the place that it lost over the last couple of decades in the fight against climate change, where anti-science and anti-experts was a line promoted by vested interests that simply had too much money at stake to listen to the science.
Well, now guess what. They will not be able to push back against scientific evidence anymore. This is a trend that I think will solidify and accelerate in the next few years, and I'm very much hoping that what it means is it means that we will actually fight climate change now seriously. Because if you listen to the science, that's what you'll end up doing. I mean, it's pretty obvious.
The great plague was the beginning of a scientific awakening in the West.
Similarly, Covid-19 I hope scared the hell out of everybody enough into listening to the experts, listening to the science, into planning, into preparing and into mitigating what we're doing.
If you listen to the science, what you will also do, and this is another future trend that I'm expecting, is you'll start actually investing properly in biotechnology and health care.
That is not what we've been doing for decades because we've had pharmaceutical companies, basically not that incentivized to invest in vaccines because people use vaccines just once, and so, it's not such a profitable product – that is going to change because we have been investing but now we'll invest faster in dramatic solutions to health problems and in genomic technologies.
I am very much hoping that the takeaway is that we will extend lives, by doing a lot more science and a lot more investment in biotech and health care; and that the health care available across the board, to the poorest members of society as well as the richest, is going to be a significant standard higher than what it has been and what it is today. And hopefully international cooperation will also improve. And we would see the benefit of that in the fight against climate change.
So, a massive science comeback is the principal future trend you should expect, I expect from Covid-19. And it will have ramifications across a multitude of sectors.
For example, as I said, in biotech and health care we'll see more money directed at R&D.
But take Big Oil too for example. Big Oil will see less money directed at new exploration and development. Big Oil actually will see less money in general. If you're investing according to what science does, that's what you do.
The coal industry is completely finished now.
Similarly, I expect we will eat healthier. We will work healthier.
I'll tell you another thing. I know for sure WeWork is finished. Places like WeWork don't need to exist anymore. Business models premised on long term leases that are let to gig economy workers are dead.
The gig economy itself is significantly weakened because the financial industry will look at a gig economy worker now like the equivalent of a junk bond from a credit perspective.
So old fashioned jobs might just be making a comeback.
You can also look at commercial real estate, for example. If only 10% of the people currently working from home, which is pretty much everybody, if only 10% of those decide that they're going to stay at work at home, and I'm thinking particularly of the gig economy, then the growth curve that every single city and country has been expecting for its commercial real estate market is no longer what it was. It's going to flatten for a long while, and the only thing that can help it is a continuing increase in population, which, as we know, is not something that's happening in the more developed economies.
And then take a close look at the ESG investment space. So that's money directed at responsible companies, which are companies generally defined as environmentally and socially responsible and with a robust governance structure. Clearly, the ESG segment of the market is superior to the other segment because the one thing that Covid-19 has shown is that resilience is pretty much priceless. And if you were environmentally and socially sound, if you've got strong governance, then that probably means that you're a lot more resilient than your competitors that don't share these qualities.
So, expect ESG investing to take off even faster than it had before Covid-19.
So, these are some of the big trends that I see.
There are lesser trends as well. For example, it's going to take a long time for air travel to recover. Why? Look at the fashion industry for example. The fashion industry, worth $1.4 trillion globally, has recently discovered that buyers from China and Indonesia and Brazil and New York don't all need to travel to Paris and Milan to pick what they are going to sell back in their home market. And so, they, by and large, won't be doing that anymore because they can do that with 3D video, for example, or at the very least they will do a lot less travel, and so air travel will recover slowly.
Hotels will recover slowly, except, I would expect, at the very top end.
Even restaurants will recover initially fast but then, in the medium term, slowly.
And so brace yourself for some big changes, some of them obvious, like the fact that WeWork is finished, or the fact that commercial real estate is not what it was. And some of them more subtle and of a more medium-term nature, the most important one of which is that science is back. And that's one thing that does not make me angry.
Thank you so much for listening to this Episode 34 of The Angry Clean Energy Guy and have a great a couple of weeks.
PrevPreviousEpisode 33
NextEpisode 35Next
There is so much to be angry about, if you are a clean energy guy.
Every day, so many things that happen around the world make me angry when I look at them with lenses colored by the climate change chaos unfolding everywhere around us. And I am especially angry because I know we can solve the climate change crisis if we were only trying.
Each week, I will share with you a few topics that struck me and that I was very angry about – and this will generally have to do with climate change, solar or wind power, plastic pollution, environmental degradation, wildlife, the oceans and other related topics.

Toronto Maple Leafs Acquire Goaltender David Rittich
By: Logan Rosengard | April 11, 2021
In an unexpected move Sunday night the Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired goaltender David Rittich. In exchange for the goalie, the Leafs will be sending a 2022 third-round pick to the Calgary Flames.
TRADE: We've acquired goaltender David Rittich from Calgary in exchange for a 2022 third-round selection. #LeafsForever
Details » https://t.co/9sLAeLvWvQ pic.twitter.com/q2wJXOxdoZ
— Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) April 12, 2021
Maple Leafs Acquire David Rittich
The Maple Leafs have just acquired another starting-calibre goalie to use down the stretch. Through 15 appearances the 28-year-old has gone 4-7-1. In addition, he has also posted a 2.90 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. Rittich is on an expiring deal that holds a cap hit of $1.375 million.
Undrafted, Rittich signed his current deal with Calgary in the summer of 2019 to bring some stability between the pipes. Last season he showed flashes of that, but couldn't muster more than a .907 save percentage and a 2.97 goals-against average.
What This Means For the Future
Rittich had previously been Calgary's starting netminder but, as in the past, lost control of that title early in the season. This move seems to mark the slow tear-down process of the current roster in Calgary. The team had been slipping from its short-lived dominance through the better part of a year. They are currently 5th in a tough North Division playoff race and sits 6 points out from the Montreal Canadiens and their fourth spot in the division. The 2022 draft pick they receive is a much-needed piece going into what seems like a lengthy rebuilding process.
The Maple Leafs have three goalies on their active roster at the moment. Jack Campbell, currently on a franchise-record win streak, Michael Hutchinson, and now Rittich. This puts a huge backstop on the goaltending depth charts considering that pending free agent Frederik Andersen is sitting on the team's injured reserve list for the foreseeable future. How general manager Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe intend to use their goalies prior to the trade deadline at 3 P.M. on April 12, as well as the remainder of the season, is unknown at this time.

They can be factored as follow:
+----+----+----+----+
| A1 | B1 | C1 | D1 |
| A2 | B2 |    |    |
| A3 |    |    |    |
+----+----+----+----+
| A1 | B1 | C2 | D1 |
+----+----+----+----+

The following objects can store those data:
class ExpandedRow {
  String a;
  String b;
  String c;
  String d;
}

class FactoredRow {
  List<String> as;
  List<String> bs;
  List<String> cs;
  List<String> ds;
}

Concerning the transformations algorithms, the factored --> expanded one is quite easy:
List<FactoredRow> factoredRows = fill();
List<ExpandedRow> expandedRows = empty();
for each factoredRow in factoredRows {
  for each a in factoredRow.as {
    for each b in factoredRow.bs {
      for each c in factoredRow.cs {
        for each d in factoredRow.ds {
          expandedRows.add(new ExpandedRow(a, b, c, d));
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

But I'm lost concerning the expanded --> factored one. How can I factorize a List<ExpandedRow> into a List<FactoredRow>?
In other words, I have the factored table as input. I expand it using the provided algorithm and store it in its expanded state. The question is: how to retrieve the initial factored state after having expanding it?

I thought that if two expanded rows have only one attribute that differs, they can be factored, for example A1, B1, C1, D1 (1) and A1, B1, C2, D1 (2). But if we factorize those two rows together, we will end with:
+----+----+----+----+
| A1 | B1 | C1 | D1 |
|    |    | C2 |    |
+----+----+----+----+
| A1 | B2 | C1 | D1 |
| A2 |    |    |    |
| A3 |    |    |    |
+----+----+----+----+
| A2 | B1 | C1 | D1 |
| A3 |    |    |    |
+----+----+----+----+

Which is less factored than the initial table.
It's seems that there are many factored solutions, and the main issue is to define and to find the most factored one.

A: This problem seems something like a graph partitioning problem. I suspect it's NP-hard but I haven't been able to prove it yet.
Let's take a simpler example to see what's going on. Consider the pairs (A1,B1), (A2,B1), (A3,B1), (A2,B2). We represent the points as points in 2D-space, and connect points if it is possible to move from one to the other by a translation parallel to the x- or y-axis:
           (A2,B2)
              |
(A1,B1) -- (A2,B1) -- (A3,B1)

The idea is to partition the graph by lines parallel to the axes, and repartition each partition, and so on, until we get pieces that are complete rectangles, line segments, or points.
There are two esssentially different ways of partitioning the graph above.  We can draw a vertical line at position x=1.5:
           (A2,B2)
              |
(A1,B1)    (A2,B1) -- (A3,B1)

after which the right-side piece needs to be further partitioned (by a vertical or horizontal line, let's take horizontal):
           (A2,B2)

(A1,B1)    (A2,B1) -- (A3,B1)

We have now factored the original list into
A1 B1
-----
A2 B2
-----
A2 B1
A3

On the other hand, if we had made our initial partition with a horizontal line at position y=1.5, we would have
           (A2,B2)

(A1,B1) -- (A2,B1) -- (A3,B1)

which is already nicely factored into a point and a line segment:
A2 B2
-----
A1 B1
A2
A3

In higher dimensions (4D for letters A, B, C, D) we have a similar problem, except that there are correspondingly more choices for initial cuts, and the allowed final pieces are higher-dimesional (not just points, line segments, and rectangles but also 3D and 4D boxes).
The problem feels NP-hard to me, just like many other graph partitioning problems, but there are probably reasonably fast approximation algorithms.

Curriculum Changes: Impact on Pupil Assessment
Created on Thursday, 12 March 2015 10:53
As you are probably aware from media coverage and previous correspondence, September 2014 saw the introduction of a new National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2. We have been and continue to work hard to fully implement the necessary changes across the school.
New English and Maths curriculum changes have been of high significance and public interest. In authoring the new curriculum, the Education Secretary was keen to ensure that standards in both core subjects were raised significantly by bringing learning from later year groups down into earlier ones. At the same time, National Curriculum Levels were abolished as they now only correspond to the assessment of the previous National Curriculum. Both changes continue to present a number of issues for state schools nationally but, most immediately, they have a significant impact on the current assessment of pupil achievement.
As the new curriculum has not been fully implemented and embedded for a number of years, children have not had the time and opportunity of having been taught at the new age related standard year on year. As a result, many children at Blue Coat (and, more widely, nationally) will currently be assessed as falling short of the new 'Age Related Expectation' (ARE) in these subjects. This is to be expected. We would only anticipate these new standards being met by our pupils once they have been given significant time and opportunity under the new curriculum.
We feel that it is important for parents to be aware of this situation so that they are not alarmed by revelations of their child(ren) whom, having previously been achieving 'above' or 'at expected levels', is now reported as working 'below' by their class teachers at parent consultation meetings.
As a school, we would like to reassure you that we are teaching all of the new curriculum requirements in these subjects so as to bring children up to these higher levels of ARE. However, we hope that parents will understand that the impact on pupil outcomes will not be immediate and the achievement of the English and Maths ARE will take varying degrees of time for children to reach, dependent on the individual, their stage in the school, whether they have Special Education Needs etc.
As children in Year 2 and Year 6 must be taught as per the pre-September 2014 curriculum then they continue to be assessed using National Curriculum Levels and so remain unaffected by the new ARE this year. Reporting of Levels to parents will therefore continue in both of these year groups.
As time passes and we gather more school and national data surrounding pupil achievement under the new National Curriculum, we will strive to give you more contextual information as to the proportions of children achieving the ARE each year in each year group.
We hope that you can appreciate some of the difficulties that all schools currently face in these times of change and uncertainty. We would hope to give you a longer term perspective as to how this situation might evolve but as yet this information is not forthcoming from policymakers.
We appreciate all parental support and patience during this period of transition.

OCC Market Place
Finally, a good deal, Auzentech XPlosion 7.1, $81 shipped
By faheyd, November 2, 2006 in OCC Market Place

in order to use headphones/normal PC speakers with that to I have to buy an red n white to 3.5mm adapter?
Thasp
I currently have this issue with the M-Audio Delta 24/96. It's driving me nuts.
Usually you have source, preamp, amp, speakers. The preamp resists, or amplifies the source signal, and the amp amps accordingly, depending on input. However, if your source can tone itself down(as a soundcard can), why get a preamp? So I spent the money on a better amp instead of an integrated model.
The trouble here is, I have to switch cables when I want to watch porn to headphones, and then back to the other ones attached to the amp for music, movies, and TV. It's quite the issue. I wish there were some sort of splitter box that didn't suck(or, even a splitter box at all). I may make one someday for myself if I can get a schematic, a parts list, and another spool of solder, but for now, I have no idea.
red930
Have No Life
Were there any ABX tests done on the op amp upgrade, between a card with and without it? Placebo plays a huge role in this, I've seen it a lot. Before ABX, I actually knew someone who thought WAV and AIFF sounded different. Because the terms he uses to describe it sound a lot like placebo.
You gotta wonder...
Maybe I will go ahead and do the upgrade. I'm not super hardcore about audio, I certainly don't pretend to believe that different cables (like, $1000 cables vs. $70 cables) make a difference. I know what I like though, and if there is a noticeable difference I'll say so. My mains are certainly capable of reproducing the differences, though my center/surrounds might not do it noticeably.
All right, tomorrow I'll hook up that cables and use them for audio for the next week or two, then switch out the chips and see what the difference is.
As for headphones, don't know. The Meridian has a built in mini-amp that's supposed to work fairly well. My phones out the back of the XPlosion sound much, much better than straight off the 2-channel output on the mobo, much louder, stronger on the bass, and more accurate all around. never had phones for the M-Audio, so I can't help you there....but man I don't think that thing could be beat on 2-channel audio out my receiver.
I still kinda miss it.
likewhoa
WTF they changed the prices, lol
Original Price: $99.99
damn $5 more dollars now i can't buy that porno to test it out with. see what they did there,.. they lowered the Original price and savings but you're still not saving enough for a porno to test it out with compare to old price, i'll just have to buy then download the pr0n
umm damn look at here,.. $100 rebate on the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16829102163
I don't doubt speakers can show differences, but I am 100% sure your brain can fool you into thinking such.
Audio memory is one of the worst of all our memories. We can remember what someone sounds like, what components sound like, but not an exact sound.
I'm not above the placebo effect either. Just try it. Try comparing a certain kind of MP3 file to the original with winamp/foobar, and you'll notice a difference if you're looking for it. Then try with ABX, and you'll think there's a difference, until you see you got 5/20 right.
In this case, it is hard to tell, but luckily it is measureable. You can't measure psychoacoustic compression perfectly, so we rely on ABX tests to develop audio codecs, but with soundcards, it's all measureable.. I don't believe a thing I don't see in measurements for DACs and op amps.
The reason I feel this way about electronics is because, where does it end? They make 10K/amp monoblocks for a home stereo, and people actually claim to hear a difference. But then when blind tests were done between tons of different amps, at best, someone was right 49% of the time... they included NAD, Rotel, Krell, a panasonic receiver out of best buy. I do think there's a difference between good and bad equipment. But, all it takes for shady companies to prevail in marketing $1000/channel DACs and $20k amplifiers is "I don't need a blind test, I know what I heard" to be the consesus when buying audio equipment.

Q: Octave runs more slowly after force quit I am running Octave 6.2.0. I have had to force quit the software after it became unresponsive while I moved its window across monitors, and since then any code I run takes much longer than it used to.
I run the same script with profile on on the "newly" slow computer and another laptop. Dlmread and fprintf make up for over 99% of execution time for the script, so I just compared times for those two functions.
Test 1: Octave 6.2.0 (after crash) on Dell Precision 3640 (Core i7-10700 @ 2.9 GHz, 64 GB RAM) with Windows 10 Pro, from SSD.
Test 2: Octave 6.2.0 (after crash) on Dell Precision 3640 (Core i7-10700 @ 2.9 GHz, 64 GB RAM) with Windows 10 Pro, from HDD.
Test 3: Octave 5.2.0 (for comparison) on Dell Inspiron 5570 (Core i7-8550U @ 1.8 GHz, 32 GB RAM) with Windows 10 Pro, from HDD.
+--------+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
|        | dlmread time (s) | fprintf time (s) | Total script time (s) |
+--------+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Test 1 | 138              | 249              | 388                   |
+--------+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Test 2 | 138              | 278              | 417                   |
+--------+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+
| Test 3 | 48               | 45               | 93                    |
+--------+------------------+------------------+-----------------------+

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache and preferences, installing an older version of Octave, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Any idea of what may have gone wrong and anything else I could do to troubleshoot?
A similar issue is described in this post, but no solution was posted in that case: Octave suddenly running scripts slowly after crash.


Click Manage Clusters from the menu on the left side of the luci Homebase page. The Clusters screen appears, as shown in Figure 4.2, "luci cluster management page".
Click Create. The Create New Cluster dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 4.3, "luci cluster creation dialog box".
At the Cluster Name text box, enter a cluster name. The cluster name cannot exceed 15 characters.
If each node in the cluster has the same ricci password, you can check Use the same password for all nodes to autofill the password field as you add nodes.
Enter the node name for a node in the cluster in the Node Name column. A node name can be up to 255 bytes in length.
After you have entered the node name, the node name is reused as the ricci host name. If your system is configured with a dedicated private network that is used only for cluster traffic, you may want to configure luci to communicate with ricci on an address that is different from the address to which the cluster node name resolves. You can do this by entering that address as the Ricci Hostname.
As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9, after you have entered the node name and, if necessary, adjusted the ricci host name, the fingerprint of the certificate of the ricci host is displayed for confirmation. You can verify whether this matches the expected fingerprint. If it is legitimate, enter the ricci password and add the next node. You can remove the fingerprint display by clicking on the display window, and you can restore this display (or enforce it at any time) by clicking the View Certificate Fingerprints button.
It is strongly advised that you verify the certificate fingerprint of the ricci server you are going to authenticate against. Providing an unverified entity on the network with the ricci password may constitute a confidentiality breach, and communication with an unverified entity may cause an integrity breach.
If you are using a different port for the ricci agent than the default of 11111, you can change that parameter.
Click Add Another Node and enter the node name and ricci password for each additional node in the cluster.
Figure 4.4, "luci cluster creation with certificate fingerprint display". shows the Create New Cluster dialog box after two nodes have been entered, showing the certificate fingerprints of the ricci hosts (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 and later).
If you do not want to upgrade the cluster software packages that are already installed on the nodes when you create the cluster, leave the Use locally installed packages option selected. If you want to upgrade all cluster software packages, select the Download Packages option.
Whether you select the Use locally installed packages or the Download Packages option, if any of the base cluster components are missing (cman, rgmanager, modcluster and all their dependencies), they will be installed. If they cannot be installed, the node creation will fail.
Check Reboot nodes before joining cluster if desired.
Select Enable shared storage support if clustered storage is required; this downloads the packages that support clustered storage and enables clustered LVM. You should select this only when you have access to the Resilient Storage Add-On or the Scalable File System Add-On.
If you have selected Download Packages, the cluster software packages are downloaded onto the nodes.
Cluster software is installed onto the nodes (or it is verified that the appropriate software packages are installed).
The cluster configuration file is updated and propagated to each node in the cluster.
The added nodes join the cluster.
A message is displayed indicating that the cluster is being created. When the cluster is ready, the display shows the status of the newly created cluster, as shown in Figure 4.5, "Cluster node display". Note that if ricci is not running on any of the nodes, the cluster creation will fail.
After clicking Create Cluster, you can add or delete nodes from the cluster by clicking the Add or Delete function from the menu at the top of the cluster node display page. Unless you are deleting an entire cluster, nodes must be stopped before being deleted. For information on deleting a node from an existing cluster that is currently in operation, see Section 5.3.4, "Deleting a Member from a Cluster".

Ezekiel Elliott, Jaylon Smith & Amari Cooper mourn loss of Cowboys S&C coach
by DZEVAD MESIC | VIEW 112
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, linebacker Jaylon Smith and wide receiver Amari Cooper emotionally reflected on the death of Cowboys strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul after their Thanksgiving game. On Tuesday, Paul was rushed to the hospital after a medical emergency in his weight room office and unfortunately a day later the Cowboys announced he had passed away.
A day after the death of Paul, the Cowboys suffered a disappointing 41-16 loss to the Washington Football Team on their home field. "Every day, he was the one leading stretch, so we're lining up for practice to get ready to stretch and you get that reminder that he's not here with us anymore," Elliott said, per ESPN.
"It definitely was tough. We just got to lean on each other and help each other get through this tough time." Pro Bowl linebacker Smith was grateful to Paul for what he taught him. "Just to get the opportunity to celebrate his life, his impact, everything he instilled in each individual that he touched," Smith said.
"Five-time Super Bowl champ, successful player, coach and strength coach. Just a great mentor and a servant leader. I learned a lot from him in his time here, and a lot of people got to share their stories on how he touched the individual."
Meanwhile, Cooper detailed how he got the unfortunate news: "It just didn't look like what every other day looks like. They were all just standing there with certain looks on their faces. I was like, 'What's going on?' And then someone told me."
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy speaks highly of late Paul
"Markus was a special man," McCarthy said. "He was definitely someone, when I think of him, obviously had a lot of success in his professional life; but if you really look at the mark of a man, it's more about significance than success.
I can't tell you the impact he's made on our football team, really the whole organization. I obviously only worked with Markus since January, but it was clearly evident through these last 48 hours, 72 hours, what he means to everybody.
"The team meeting [Wednesday] night was powerful, and obviously we're going to miss him. It's unfortunate for his family, but we had the opportunity to celebrate him last night as a team, and we'll definitely continue to do that. His memory and impact has touched a lot of people and will always live with us."

Entry Name: Scurff Hall moated site
Scheduled Date: 22 December 1997
County: North Yorkshire
Civil Parish: Newland
Traditional County: Yorkshire
Lieutenancy Area (Ceremonial County): North Yorkshire
Church of England Parish: Drax St Peter and St Paul
Church of England Diocese: York
The monument includes the buried and earthwork remains of a medieval moated
manor house set within a larger moated enclosure. The southern half of the
enclosure retains ridge and furrow earthworks and is included in the
scheduling, while the earthworks in the northern half have been levelled by
ploughing and are not included. Scurff Hall is located 700m south of the River
Ouse, 1.2km due east of Drax church.
The area was assarted (reclaimed from the fen and legally claimed) before 1286
by the del Scurth family, who were free tenants of Drax. The outer moat is
considered to date to this time and to have been part of the original drainage
works. By 1364 Scurff was described as a vill, the smallest medieval
administrative unit. This could be applied to a dispersed settlement like
Scurff as well as to nucleated villages. The inner moat was dated by
excavation in the early 1960s to the late 14th to early 15th century. On its
moated island stood a medieval hall which was demolished in the early 18th
century when the rear of the present hall was built. Around this time the
farm buildings to the east of the inner moated island were built in successive
phases and the inner moat was largely filled in with spoil from drainage
ditches on the farm. In the mid-19th century the hall was remodelled and
enlarged and the south and east sides of the inner moated island were
partially landscaped.
The inner moated island is about 75m east-west and 55m north-south and forms a
raised platform above the general surrounding land surface. The medieval hall
is believed to have stood to the east of the present house and in this area a
stony surface lies about 30cm below the current ground level. The western
half of the moat ditch survives as a visible earthwork. The eastern arm of the
moat was infilled during the 18th century and was partly built over with farm
buildings, but it will survive as an infilled feature. Part of the southern
arm was modified to form a ha ha in the 19th century.
The outer moat originally enclosed an irregular area of nearly 8ha and can be
divided into three distinct sections. The south east and east sides are formed
by part of the curving course of the Willow Row Drain. This is thought to be
an old course of the River Ayre and flows northwards to meet the Ouse. The
south western and western sides are formed by a ditch with a marked bank up to
1.3m high on the eastern (inner) side. This ditch is in three straight
sections forming an elongated zig-zag and is followed by the parish boundary
between Drax and Newland. The northern side, closing the circuit, ran in an
approximately straight line ENE between the parish boundary and Willow Row
Drain. This northern moat arm, which is not included in the scheduling,
has been infilled and is marked by a footpath across a large field. At the
junction between the Willow Row Drain and the ditch marking the parish
boundary, there is a circular water filled depression nearly 10m across. The
area between the inner and outer moats within the area of scheduling is
crossed by pronounced, 11m wide ridge and furrow running east-west. Further
ridge and furrow existed in the field to the north but as this has been
levelled by modern ploughing, it is not included in the scheduling. All
the ridge and furrow respects both moats, and thus post dates their
All fencing, buildings (including Scurff Hall), walling and paving, are
excluded from the sheduling, although the ground beneath these features is
MAP EXTRACT
The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.
Reasons for Scheduling
Around 6,000 moated sites are known in England. They consist of wide ditches,
often or seasonally water-filled, partly or completely enclosing one or more
islands of dry ground on which stood domestic or religious buildings. In some
cases the islands were used for horticulture. The majority of moated sites
served as prestigious aristocratic and seigneurial residences with the
provision of a moat intended as a status symbol rather than a practical
military defence. The peak period during which moated sites were built was
between about 1250 and 1350 and by far the greatest concentration lies in
central and eastern parts of England. However, moated sites were built
throughout the medieval period, are widely scattered throughout England and
exhibit a high level of diversity in their forms and sizes. They form a
significant class of medieval monument and are important for the understanding
of the distribution of wealth and status in the countryside. Many examples
provide conditions favourable to the survival of organic remains.
Scurff provides good evidence of the medieval practice of assarting waste-
land. Medieval archaeological deposits will survive throughout the inner
island, both under the present buildings and in open areas. Remains will
include building foundations, rubbish pits, and evidence of both small scale
industrial activity and gardening. The inner moat will retain evidence of one
or more causeways or bridges spanning the moat. It will also contain finds
like bone and pottery as well as environmental information, all of which
will preserve important information about the medieval life of the area.
Further important archaeological remains will survive beyond the inner island,
especially within and under the banks beside the outer moat. The ridge and
furrow is also an important and increasingly rare survival.
