Q: Java Positioning Problem of JLabel in JFrame I´m creating a TileMap out of JLabels and my Problem is that the last Tile is not placed right.
For some reason the last JLablel is on a wrong position. I think this Image:

and the Code explains what my problem is.
Btw. I am using BlueJ (maybe there is a bug in it, that I dont know)
Thanks for help!!!
    //create Frame
    this.setSize((size+2)*imageSize+16,(size+2)*imageSize+39);
    this.addKeyListener(this);
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    this.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.black);
    this.setVisible(true);
    //create MapJLabels
    for(int x = 0;x<size;x++){
        for(int y = 0;y<size;y++){
            mapJLabels[x][y] = new JLabel();
            this.add(mapJLabels[x][y]);
            mapJLabels[x][y].setSize(imageSize,imageSize);
            mapJLabels[x][y].setLocation((x+1)*imageSize,(y+1)*imageSize);
            mapJLabels[x][y].setVisible(true);
        }
    }

A: *

*The code is attempting to set the size/location of the component. This implies you are using a null layout. Don't. Swing was designed to be used with layout managers. You should use the GridLayout. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Layout Managers for more information.

*You create an empty JLabel. By default a JLabel is transparent. I'm not sure now the picture you posted is created from the code you posted. I don't see how the grid is populated with images etc.

*Swing components are visible by default so there is no need for the setVisible(true)

*Your code attempts to set the size of the frame. Again, don't. When using layout managers you just pack() the frame and the size will be calculated automatically.

*Your code attempts to leave space between the frame and labels. Don't. If you want extra space you can add an EmptyBorder to the panel. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Borders

*You code is using a KeyListener. Don't. Swing was designed to be used with Key Bindings

*Components should be added to the frame BEFORE the frame is made visible.
The posted code looks reasonable, but since we can't see where you change the background of the labels or where you add icons to the labels, we don't know what the rest of your logic is doing. The problem could be there.
If you need more help after fixing the above problems then post a proper minimal, reproducible example that demonstrates your new problem.


Mali' Buku-Ruŋanmaram won the Australian Society of Archivists Mander Jones Prize last week. The book documents collections of material culture from Arnhem Land held in the University of Sydney Archives, in particular photographs of Miliŋinbi and surrounds. ARC Indigenous Fellow Dr Joseph Neparrŋa Gumbula, a liya-ŋärra'mirri (learned, wise) Yolŋu elder and a leading authority on material culture from Arnhem Land chose and described the photos in the book.
Ecologies of invention, our new book launched last week by Robyn Williams from ABC Radio National's The Science Show, examines origins, approaches and attitudes towards inventiveness across the disciplines, including art, architecture, design, history, engineering, science, law and economics. As Marc Newson, designer of the famous Lockheed Lounge, points out in the Foreword, Ecologies of invention 'makes an important contribution to our understanding of that "light bulb" moment of realisation or invention that takes place across all disciplines'.


An engineer and interior design graduate, Shailaja is a passionate entrepreneur who loves the fashion industry. She began her journey in textiles with Srinivasa Textiles, a four-decade-old family-run business. Married to Praveen Kumar and blessed with two boys, she now handles Kanchee Silks, a name synonymous with flowy silks and bridal sarees, in all ranges. While she shares with us that she likes to go on vacations with her family to spend quality time with them, here she gets talking about some business as well.
I was born into a business family, and entrepreneurship runs throughout the family. After marriage, I looked after my husband's construction business, and later on I became busy with my kids. Although my love towards the fashion industry was the driving force for me to get into our textiles business full-time, the whole gambit that entrepreneurship includes has inspired me all the more.
How did Kanchee Silks take shape?
After doing thorough research on the market, I entered the Banjara Hills area to offer high-quality fabrics and the latest designs in silk sarees. Our pricing and designs set us apart in this area, while we serve all kinds of clientele across the city. Luckily, ever since its inception, the store has been doing really well! And presently, we are an exclusive wedding shopping store. I feel proud when customers say that they've been to Srinivasa Textiles; these are those loyal customers who've been with us for over 25 years, and are delighted by the plethora of sarees now offered at Kanchee Silks.
How challenging is retailing for you?
Our four decades of experience have helped us understand the market thoroughly. Since we understand our customers' requirements, we take steps accordingly. Hence, I can't really say that retailing is a challenge.
Compared to a decade back, there's huge competition among the showrooms that are now opening. Unfortunately, they aren't braving the storm that this field throws at them, and many are closing shop soon. Our experience and knowledge in this field places us a cut above the rest.
Tell us about your support systems – both personal and professional.
My support is my family in both cases. I couldn't have reached the place I stand today without them.
We will be expanding. I want to see Kanchee Silks everywhere, within a couple of years.
The three most important things you keep in mind while working?
Wholesale prices, best quality, and customer satisfaction are what I ensure in the business.
What do you like most about wearing sarees?
I love wearing sarees on occasions, as they symbolize an Indian woman. I really feel that women look their best in sarees. Even in today's modern world, when a girl/lady wears a saree, people look up to her! So that's the specialty of sarees: grace and respect.
Tell us about your favourite saree and the type of drape.
My favourites are cottons, since they're most comfortable. I usually wear them to work and for some special occasions. I prefer Kanjeevarams, Uppada, and ikat.

Closing the Gaps: Pre-Deployment Role of the Military Legal Adviser
Written by Tom Oakley
As US involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan comes to an end after twenty years, it is worth taking stock of how things stand in relation to the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). This law serves dual purposes: military necessity (which permits measures which are necessary to fulfil a legitimate military purpose provided they are not otherwise prohibited by LOAC) and the principle of humanity (which limits the effects of armed conflict on civilian populations and others who are hors de combat). Much could (and likely will) be written about the legal advice provided during combat operations over these past decades. Our focus here is the delivery of LOAC education and training to forces on a routine basis and for specific missions.
As Laurie Blank and Gregory Noone express in their excellent United States Institute of Peace manual on law of war training, the Geneva Conventions require that states train their forces on the law of armed conflict. Blank and Noone aptly point out that there is a LOAC "knowledge gap" that they attribute "primarily [to] an absence of knowledge and opportunity." Commanders and legal advisers can help close this gap through education and training that incorporates the law of armed conflict.
But there exists another gap that legal advisers must acknowledge and address through LOAC training. As LTG Charles Pede, the 40th Judge Advocate General of the United States Army recently expressed, there is a gap between what the law of war requires, and what some may believe it requires; between lex lata and lex ferenda, or perhaps between IHL and a mixture of IHL and a broad reading of human rights law. For example, there is a debate surrounding what level of certainty commanders need before conducting targeting operations, with Adams and Goodman arguing that LOAC requires a "near certainty that the proper target is being engaged and civilian casualties are minimized."
The term 'near certainty' also appeared in the US Presidential Policy Guidance on direct action against terrorist targets in 2013. The guidance required 'near certainty' of target identification and 'near certainty' the "action can be taken without injuring or killing non-combatants." While the former is ubiquitous in combat operations, the latter is not, at least to the extent that it requires zero non-combatant casualties. LOAC requires forces to take all feasible precautions to minimize civilian casualties; it does not require near certainty of avoiding them. As Marty Lederman astutely noted in 2016, the Presidential Policy Guidance's requirement of 'near certainty' – that non-combatants would not be injured or killed – explicitly did not apply to areas of active hostilities, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Commanders operating in areas of active hostilities must understand that a baseline legal requirement to minimize civilian casualties remains, and that policy-based directives may add additional requirements.
Acknowledging these gaps emphasizes the need for pre-deployment LOAC training not only to achieve LOAC's dual purposes, but also to preserve the legitimacy of the law itself. As Pede explains, decades of policy-driven rules of engagement tailored to counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism operations have created expectations that they have become new normative rules. Moreover, these policy decisions might affect not only tactical decision-making, but also help manage interoperability as a recognition of partner-nation legal obligations, for example to Additional Protocols I and II, and the extraterritorial application of the European Convention on Human Rights. Policy choices may intentionally narrow the 'legal maneuver space' for a specific mission, but they do not change the law of armed conflict. Training will help commanders and troops understand the policy/law distinction and apply force consistent with LOAC and treaty obligations in future armed conflict.
Dissemination, Education, or Training?
The 1949 Geneva Conventions require states to disseminate the text of the convention to ensure that the principles are known by the 'entire population' (see, e.g., GC I, Art. 47). The article further requires the study of the conventions in states' "programmes of military… instruction."
While educating the force on LOAC principles is a good start, embedding knowledge into the reflexes of military leaders and soldiers via training is a critical step towards ensuring compliance. As Elizabeth Stubbins Bates points out, the scholarly and practitioner consensus is that mere 'dissemination' is insufficient for LOAC compliance. According to the ICRC, LOAC must be 'integrated' into the training cycle and military decision-making as a whole. The Roots of Restraint in War study concluded that such training results in increased compliance on the battlefield. US policy also focuses on compliance, as Professor Chris Jenks confirms, DOD Directive 2311.01 requires the implementation of "effective programs… to prevent violations of the law of war."
Indeed, effective training of LOAC within armed forces requires a multi-faceted approach, combining classroom instruction, and experiential learning through realistic scenario-based exercises. It is one thing to appreciate the law in a sanitized classroom environment; it is quite another to demonstrate understanding in a split-second decision on the battlefield. The Roots of Restraint study arrived at the same conclusion, noting that "adherence is best tested under duress." For example, while soldiers may understand conceptually the obligation to respect civilians, the true test of internalization occurs when they encounter civilians on a mock (or real) battlefield. This latter practice-based level of understanding creates the muscle memory that will help fulfil the aims of the law of war.
What to Train?
Commanders rightly turn to their legal advisers for assistance in LOAC training but should be careful not to defer leadership in the effort. While legal advisers may aid in the training, law of war compliance is a commander's responsibility, under Art 87(2) Additional Protocol I for those states which have ratified it, and as customary LOAC. As Craig Jones notes, legal advisers advise and commanders decide. While Jones focuses on the operational setting, his observation is no-less relevant in the pre-deployment training setting.
The Commander's Handbook on the Law of Armed Conflict (US Army FM 6-27) invokes AP I language when it suggests that instruction should be "commensurate with duties and responsibilities." In one sense, instruction must be tailored to the level of command – the 'duty' part. But 'responsibility' also invites a prospective view on what might be required of leaders and soldiers alike on a given mission set.
Just as Jones suggests keeping lawyers 'in the loop' throughout the targeting process, commanders should similarly keep their legal advisers involved in the development of pre-deployment training scenarios. Keeping a legal adviser ingrained with current and future operations is not only possible, but perhaps indispensable on the modern battlefield, an effort that should start before mobilization of forces.
Commanders, with the help of legal advisers, can tailor LOAC education and training to not only the level of command, but also to the type of mission. This allows commanders and legal advisers to anticipate legal issues based on planned or likely operational scenarios. For example, in 2003 coalition troops encountered many surrendering Iraqi soldiers during their initial movement into Iraq. Training for such a scenario would obviously require forethought regarding the LOAC dimensions of the operation. Providing initial education on legal requirements and embedding potential legal ambiguities into the training scenarios will help ensure the execution of the mission complies with the law.
How to Train?
Former Director General of the British Army Legal Services Branch A.P.V. Rogers wrote that "[m]ilitary effectiveness depends on the prompt and unquestioning obedience of orders to such an extent that soldiers are prepared to put their lives at risk in executing those orders." Yet international criminal law (in addition to LOAC) does not permit the defense of superior orders where such an order is 'manifestly unlawful.' That adjective 'manifestly' recalls early twentieth century case law when subordinates were not systematically trained in the LOAC. Now that military training in LOAC is an obligation in treaty and custom, soldiers should be expected to obey all lawful orders, and identify the unlawful ones.
As I argued above, to ensure compliance, classroom instruction on LOAC and the rules of engagement must also be followed by realistic training that incorporates ambiguity to simulate the fog of war. This may be especially true when states ask soldiers to show restraint (perhaps, 'courageous restraint') through rules of engagement. A natural tension may arise between soldier and leader when orders restrict actions the law of war might otherwise allow, such as holding fire after an observed hostile act or perceived hostile intent. As Michael Walzer argues in Just and Unjust Wars, the "war convention requires soldiers to accept personal risks rather than kill innocent people." Training helps soldiers and leaders know how rules of engagement complement the laws of armed conflict.
In training soldiers on LOAC and ROE, commanders and legal advisers should take care to help soldiers understand when force may lawfully be applied, and that ROE supplements the LOAC based on strategic, policy, and perhaps tactical prerogatives. Giving soldiers the context of such orders will help lessen tension, avoid confusion, and boost morale because knowing the context leads to a better understanding of the mission.
Soldier LOAC References
Commanders and legal advisers may wish to supply their forces with written materials to help facilitate their understanding of the rules that apply for a particular mission. History is replete with examples to include Francis Lieber's famed 1863 code, a pocket-sized manual for troops in the field. Just as FM 6-27 suggests giving "instruction commensurate with… duties and responsibilities," leaders should similarly tailor disseminated materials to the audience.
While the Geneva Conventions require that authorities in positions of responsibility have access to the entire text of the conventions, legal advisers can help tailor additional references that serve as a reminder of key principles for soldiers. Often termed 'ROE cards,' these condensed versions of the full rules of engagement can help reinforce LOAC and provide a good reference during training.
Closing (the Gap)
Legal advisers can help close the gaps of LOAC misunderstanding through pre-deployment education and training, enabling commanders to preserve their legal maneuver space and operate within the confines of the law, while distinguishing between the lata and the ferenda. Such understanding will help achieve LOAC's dual purposes of military necessity and humanitarian protection, while also serving to ensure the viability of the legal regime itself.

In the past couple of years, Tulum real estate has been gaining a good deal of attention for its high potential to become the Yucatan Peninsula's next booming market. In addition to growing tourism, and plans for a new international airport, plans are also being made for a expressway bypass. This bypass will benefit the real estate market in a few ways.
The new bypass will benefit Mexico land purchases which are becoming increasingly common along the Tulum-Coba highway, offering quick access not only to Tulum, but also Tulum but also to Playa del Carmen and other areas along the Riviera Maya. Many of these land developments have an eco-friendly focus and expats are building homes off the grid with alternative energy sources, and special water treatment systems designed to protect the coral reef.
Condos, homes and land purchases within the projected urban area of Tulum will also benefit from the bypass. Unlike Playa del Carmen, in Tulum the existing highway actually becomes the town's main road, where the main concentration of restaurants, services and tourist shops are located. Currently, traffic is low, so the amount of vehicles coming and going is ideal for the small downtown atmosphere; with increased traffic from the new airport and large amount of growth in the area, congestion could become a problem. In this way, the bypass will also allow the downtown area to retain the small village charm that it currently offers.
A number of points are, in fact, being introduced in Tulum to help preserve this atmosphere, including further village center areas, low density development, and the environmental focus mentioned above, which has been a strong tendency in Tulum.

Last week at AltaSea: Two exploration vessels and a rocket!
AltaSea is privileged to frequently have exploration vessels berth at our site. Last week, we were fortunate enough to have to two vessels visiting at the same time: E/V Nautilus and National Geographic's Venture. As an added bonus, our neighbor SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket also could be seen in the distance.
Left: R/V Nautilus and National Geographic's Venture docked at AltaSea. Right: R/V Nautilus at AltaSea and SpaceX Falcon 9 visible just across our channel.
Over the past twelve months, we have added significant tenants to the AltaSea site including Boeing, Catalina Sea Ranch, and Blue Robotics. We have welcomed innovators and ocean researchers to our docks, including the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), National Geographic, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In addition, AltaSea has partnered with the Ocean Exploration Trust, Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, the Southern California Marine Institute, the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor, the LA Maritime Institute, and other educators at all levels of study.
Our shared vision of an AltaSea campus where the best of business, science and education come together to protect the oceans for future generations, while invigorating our City and regional economy, is coming to life!
In August, we achieved a significant funding milestone that allowed us to take possession of a large portion of the site and proceed to our next phase of development. This phase of the project will include the renovation of three historic warehouses, home to our aquaculture (ocean farming) and blue tech (ocean robotics) clusters of business.
This 180,000 square foot warehouse complex will be called the "Center of Innovation." With this first project, AltaSea will create jobs in these new ocean industries, and develop a pipeline to good jobs for the students of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbor communities.
In fact, just weeks from now in early 2019, AltaSea will release bid documents and award contracts for construction of the Center of Innovation. Construction will take a little less than the remainder of 2019, after which the entire space will be available to fill with business, jobs, and community education and engagement experiences.
All this progress means AltaSea has advanced from a wonderfully audacious idea into a tangible reality! None of this would be possible without the support of you. Together we have come so far; and together we will complete the vision of AltaSea.
On a personal note, this year has been a transformational one for me and my family. I was honored and humbled to be asked to assume a leadership role with AltaSea in February. The work has been extremely rewarding.
My wife, Connie, and I have always known the importance of AltaSea to our community, and to our planet. We chose to increase our support this year because we know our dollars will have a real impact. How so? AltaSea will run on rental income by 2020. Contributed income is needed now to bridge the gap until construction of the Center of Innovation is completed.
As 2018 comes to a close, please consider supporting AltaSea again.
This past year, we launched a "Doors to the Future" campaign, where storefront doors to the Center of Innovation have been named in honor of generous businesses, foundations, families, and individuals. This past month, we added a "Stairs to the Future" campaign, where donors' names are engraved on a beautifully designed plaque affixed to a stair riser leading into the Center.
Please consider naming a door or a stair, becoming a member of AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles, or making a gift in any amount. Now is the time to support this transformative project.
We promise that your gift will have impact for generations to come.
Visit our website at www.altasea.org, or call us at (424) 210-4973.
Thank you for your support of AltaSea.

PAOK-president may be five years suspended after entering field with gun
Ivan Savvidis, the president of PAOK Thessaloniki on Sunday, with a gun in his belt the field, entered during the match against AEK Athens, for five years suspended. The Greek bond EPO has Savvidis Thursday for various offences charged.
In a short statement reports, EPO Savvidis is suspected of being a threat, and the carrying of a weapon on the field.
EPO allows the further criminal proceedings to the leadership of the Greek Super League. You may get PAOK points deducted as a result of the riots. That would be the current number three won't stand a chance in the title.
In addition Savidis stormed Sunday, dozens of PAOK-supporters in the field, after a goal is scored in the final stage, was rejected. The match against the leader AEK was then stopped by the referee.
The crew have eral led the league until further notice, has been shut down by the Greek government. That measure was the last few years, taken more frequently after incidents in the Greek football.


Since the 1970 RICO Act we have had an ever increasing threat to all Americans. RICO, FISA, and the Patriot Acts have made it profitable and easy for law enforcement agencies at every level to seize property on a suspicion much less a conviction.
One example: When an accused consensual criminal's land, property, or money is seized under federal assets forfeiture laws, the income is split between federal and local law enforcement. According to the Los Angeles Times (April 13, 1993), however, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department failed to turn over $60 million to the feds. A former sheriff's department sergeant was quoted as saying the sheriff's department "stole $60 million" from the feds in 1988 and 1989 drug busts, and the Times added, "he is convinced such practices continue."
To make things worse if your property is seized by law enforcement agencies they have no responsibility to return it in good condition and may have already sold it. You may have to go to court to get your property back and in some cases may find that it is unrecoverable even if you win your case!
There is a reform movement that aims to sanitize this problem but I suspect that "tweaking" such an nasty system is not going to help. It would be far more appropriate for the supreme court to uphold the fourth amendment!

Of all the 55+ communities in the Orlando, Florida, area, Hyde Park stands out as one that is particularly effective at giving retirees the opportunity to get the most out of their retirement savings through the provision of affordable housing, lots of amenities, and an excellent location. Hyde Park, which is located less than 20 miles from downtown Orlando, is an age-restricted development that attracts retirees looking to have fun, stay active, and live in close proximity of other retired individuals who wish to do the same. The great thing about Hyde Park is, it's not just a place to live … it's a lifestyle. Unlike at some 55+ communities, our residents have immediate access to a plethora of resort-style amenities that make it easy for them to lead enjoyable, fun-filled lifestyles.
If you are nearing retirement and looking at 55+ communities in Florida, why not consider buying a home at Hyde Park just outside of Orlando, FL? We offer affordably priced manufactured homes, lots of amenities, a great location, and, perhaps most importantly, a welcoming environment that is designed with the needs of retirees in mind.

Bats: Conservation
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered on 29th November 2021.
Lord Macpherson of Earl's Court Crossbench
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have carried out a cost-benefit analysis of bat surveys in planning applications; and, if so, what value they placed on the life of a bat, disaggregated by indigenous species.
Hansard source (Citation: HL Deb, 29 November 2021, cW)
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
This government has committed to leave the environment in a better state than we inherited it, underpinned by our target to halt the decline in species abundance by 2030. Protecting and conserving bat populations, including species like the serotine bat, is an important part of this.
Natural England (NE) has not carried out a cost-benefit analysis of bat surveys in planning applications. However, NE is in the process of evaluating the benefit to bat conservation from actions taken as a result of regulatory work. It is expected that the initial findings will be published in early 2022/23.
NE is currently testing a new approach to bat licensing through the Bat Earned Recognition Pilot. The pilot aims to streamline the licensing process through accrediting ecologists, enabling them to have greater discretion to progress low risk cases, estimated to be up to 90% of all applications. This will reduce costs and delays for customers whilst providing better outcomes for bats. The pilot is well advanced and is currently in the process of accrediting ecologists, with a view to being operational from early in 2022.

Title I Reauthorization: Renew Federal Support to Under-Resourced Schools
Posted on March 1, 1999 November 1, 2021
By Dianne Piché
Vol. 21, No. 1, 1999 pp. 24-26
When Congress takes up the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) later this year, the stakes will be higher than ever for poor and minority children. Particularly for those children attending schools that receive support from Title I, the section of the law aiding under-resourced schools, the outcome of the looming Congressional debate could make a big difference whether those children have access to the resources they need to succeed in school.
With an appropriation now over $8 billion, Title I is by far the largest of the ESEA programs, providing supplemental funds to schools serving high concentrations of low-income children in order to assist students in meeting high academic standards. Congress is likely to consider an array of competing proposals, including:
Whether to continue targeting Title I funds to high poverty schools and school districts as it does now;
Whether to redirect some portion of Title I funds into private school vouchers;
Whether to strip Title I of its original purpose to help poor children catch up through, for example, "block grants" to states; and
Whether to link Title I funding to measures that have an adverse impact on many poor and minority students, such as policies that demand an end to so-called "social promotion" without effective intervention measures and severe punitive procedures for children who experience problems.
The last time Congress reauthorized Title I, in 1994, it did so under very different political circumstances, and it largely adopted the recommendations of a coalition of education and civil rights advocates, along with the Clinton Administration. The 1994 amendments sought to recast Title I from a remedial program in math and reading to a powerful tool to assist schools with high concentrations of poverty to educate students to the same high academic standards as schools in the suburbs and elsewhere. Title I now calls on states and school districts:
To raise academic standards;
To build the capacity of schools and teachers to teach to high standards;
To develop and use fair and accurate assessments of students' attainment of the standards, to disaggregate assessment results by race, gender, income status, and other categories, and to refrain from using test results for purposes for which they have not been validated (e.g., for student placement or promotion decisions);
To hold school officials accountable for results, by providing intensive help to low-achieving schools and corrective action when schools fail to improve after several years of help;
To fully include limited English proficiency (LEP), disabled, homeless, and migrant children in Title I specifically and in the standards-based reforms in general, including a requirement that LEP students be assessed in their native language, or be provided with testing accommodations as appropriate.
An ongoing project of the the Citizens' Commission on Civil Rights is monitoring implementation of the new Title I at the federal, state, district, and school levels, to determine whether and how key provisions of the new law designed to equalize learning opportunities for poor and minority students are actually being carried out.
Reforms sound and workable
The Commission recently released a report on the first phase of this effort, assessing state plans for Title I compliance and federal enforcement. The Commission found that the new Title I reforms are sound and workable. While the reforms called for by the 1994 amendments are still in midstream, evidence of their impact is accumulating in states that had similar initiatives in effect prior to 1994 and in places that have acted rapidly to implement the 1994 reforms. In the South, and elsewhere across the country, examples of high-achieving high poverty high-minority schools are helping to dispel harmful myths about race, class and learning. For example, the Commission investigated two schools in Alabama that were identified as "Distinguished Title I Schools" by the Department of Education. These schools, Tuggle Elementary in Birmingham (100% African American and 90 percent low-income), and Adams Elementary (67 percent African American, 18 percent Latino and 92 percent low-income) in Gadsden, both are intensely focussed on developing a sound foundation in reading and language arts in the early grades. At Tuggle, the entire staff received intensive training as early participants in the state-sponsored Alabama Reading Initiative and receives ongoing assistance from both the Alabama Department of Education and the University of Alabama. Approaches include the
use of Reading Recovery techniques and Effective Schools principles. Adams has developed a comprehensive school-wide program to meet the needs of a diverse student body, which includes students with multiple disabilities and growing numbers of migrant and LEP students.
Title I funds are used to pay for resource teachers, curriculum materials in reading and other subjects, a certified teacher to work with LEP students, a summer program for migrant students, and a district staff member to analyze student achievement data in order to provide teachers with information on each student's strengths and weaknesses. Approaches used at Adams include SRA (Science Research Associates) Direct Instruction, a curricular approach designed to improve basic reading skills, supplemented by an innovative science curriculum (funded by the federal magnet schools assistance program).
On a district-wide basis, the Commission has been examining several urban school districts that have made impressive gains. For example:
San Antonio and other cities in Texas have benefited from a number of statewide reforms that have produced gains and narrowed achievement gaps between African American and white and between Latino and white students. Statewide reforms have included a successful school finance lawsuit, and a statewide accountability system, which provides incentives to improve minority achievement. In addition, the San Antonio district used New American Schools design models such as Roots and Wings and Expeditionary Learning, along with sound professional development and bilingual efforts. The result: the number of low-performing schools has declined from forty to six over a five-year period.
In Memphis, a system-wide effort to improve student achievement included new content standards, increased school-based authority, and increased accountability, as well as the introduction of school improvement programs such as Roots and Wings and Accelerated Schools. Schools that have been redesigned along lines contemplated by Title I, have produced substantial gains in achievement and the proportion of students taking college preparatory courses in math has increased substantially.
States Range from Exemplary to Egregious
There is wide variance in the degree to which states have complied with the requirements of the new Title I, ranging from exemplary models to egregious violations of the law. Although most states reported they are taking steps to implement portions of the new law, there has been insufficient attention to key provisions designed to benefit or protect poor and minority children, particularly provisions designed to include LEP children and to hold schools accountable for the progress of all students. For example, many states consider schools to be making adequate progress, and thus take no corrective action, even when large numbers of students are still failing to achieve basic proficiency in reading and other subjects.
Failures by the U.S. Department of Education to take actions needed to implement and enforce the new Title I have retarded educational progress. The Clinton Administration has been steadfast in its support for public schools and efforts to direct more federal funds to poor areas. The Department of Education has taken positive action to further the purposes of the new Title I, including providing useful, though belated, guidance to the field and prodding states to adopt good procedures for identifying schools in need of improvement.
But, following the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994, the Department shrank from furnishing clear messages to state and local education agencies on any issue that might prove controversial. As a result, many state and local education officials have received the impression that the new Title I is largely a deregulation law that will free them from bothersome federal conditions, and have failed to understand that the tradeoff in the law is higher standards and accountability for results. Most significantly, the Department has either failed to enforce or has misinterpreted key provisions of the law that are designed to equalize learning opportunities between poor and non-poor children. These include provisions for:
High standards and accountability in all subjects, not just reading and math. Educators and advocates know that when subjects like science and social studies do not "count," they are often taught poorly in Title I schools.
Statewide standards and assessments, to guard against the dual standards that prevail in many states, with higher standards in affluent suburban districts, and lower ones in poor urban districts.
Local and school capacity. Few states have made the commitment needed to help low-income districts acquire the resources to improve teaching, increase learning time, and assist all students in achieving at high levels, as contemplated by the law.
Progress has been further retarded by additional failures of the U.S. Department of Education, including:
The failure to ensure timely adoption of standards that meet the requirements of the law. As a result, as of the summer of 1998, thirty-four states and Puerto Rico still did not have performance standards for students or a process for developing them;
The failure to provide the assistance and guidance needed to states to develop the accountability and corrective action measures needed to improve failing schools, including strategic intervention for students who need it. As a result, too many states have continued to condone
persistent low achievement, along with high retention and drop out rates in Title I schools.
The failure to explain and enforce the statutory requirement that children be assessed in the language and form most likely to yield accurate information about their ability;
The failure to insist on processes for assuring that children with disabilities will receive accommodations and will not be excluded from assessment except in rare circumstances;
The failure to make clear to states and local education agencies that Title I assessments are not to be used for high stakes purposes;
The failure to require states to measure separately the annual yearly progress of poor children and children with limited English proficiency so that the requirements of the law cannot be met solely by the gains of more advantaged children; and
The failure to place sufficient emphasis on the importance of improving teaching through effective programs of professional development.
Cumulatively, these faults and misinterpretations have served to undermine a central objective of the new Title I: to eliminate the prevailing dual system of education that consigns poor children, children of color and children with special needs to schools and programs with lower expectations, fewer resources and fewer opportunities than those enjoyed by the great majority of advantaged children.
In criticizing the U. S. Department of Education, the Citizens' Commission does not suggest in any way that state and local officials have done their part to effectuate the purposes of the law. Many have not. Nor should Congress' role in holding back progress be under-emphasized.
Despite the shortcomings of the Department of Education in implementing the new Title I, there is every reason to believe that the program can be successful in the future. Since the process of reform contemplated is a long-term one, the five-year authorization period will expire before states have completed and implemented their reforms. But the experience of several states and cities in carrying out measures called for by Title I has already yielded positive results in the improved achievement of disadvantaged youngsters. Prospects for further gains will be enhanced by extending the 1994 reforms, increasing federal resources to improve teaching in high-poverty schools, and a commitment by the Clinton and subsequent administration to implement the law, including a willingness to enforce its provisions where violations occur.

Live Skunk Found in Maui
December 15, 2020, 4:02 PM HST
Courtesy: HDOA
A live skunk was found and captured this morning at a maritime container yard at Pier 1 in Kahului, Maui.
The skunk was spotted roaming around in the container yard and was reported to harbor security by a biologist surveying for stranded sea bird fledglings. Harbor security personnel contacted Maui plant quarantine inspectors with the Hawai'i Department of Agriculture (HDOA). and
Inspectors arrived at the pier at 8 a.m. Harbor security personnel had already cornered the animal and prevented its escape. Inspectors were able to capture the animal shortly after arriving.
The skunk measured about 15 inches from head to tail. A test for rabies will be sent to a mainland laboratory. Inspectors surveyed the area and found no other skunks. HDOA inspectors are investigating how and when the skunk could have made its way to Maui.
This is the second time a skunk has been reported in Maui. The first time occurred in August 2018 when the animal was found at a trucking company.
The first time a skunk was reported in the state was in February 2018, found at Pier 1 in Honolulu. Both skunks tested negative for rabies.
Skunks are prohibited in Hawai'i and are only allowed by permit for research and exhibition in a municipal zoo. Skunks inhabit the US, Canada, South America, Mexico and other parts of the world. They are also one of the four wild animals considered to be the primary carriers of the rabies virus, a fatal viral disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. Hawai`i is the only state in the U.S. and one of the few places in the world that is rabies-free.
Sightings or captures of illegal and invasive species should be reported to the state's toll-free Pest Hotline at 643-PEST (7378).

The Now What? Conference was created to help bring together web and marketing professionals from across the region to hear from some of today's leaders in web project management, web governance, and content strategy and talk shop with colleagues and speakers.
Pick up your badge, enjoy some coffee & breakfast goodies, and connect with other attendees and colleagues.
Now What? officially kicks off with opening remarks from Deane Barker of Blend Interactive.
Running an effective marketing program takes more than strategy and a creative eye. To be successful, a marketing organization needs the operational capacity to get the right content to target audiences and measure impact. This means having the right tools and processes, and the people to operate them. Most marketing organizations are just scratching the surface of the potential value that their content technologies hold. This presentation will walk through an operational model that maximizes the leverage of your content and your content management infrastructure to achieve marketing goals.
Corporate communications is evolving at a furious pace, and business pundits proclaim that only the strongest organizations can survive. In this session, we'll talk about how content can help you can win the survival-of-the-fittest game. We'll explore how to select, create, and maintain content that works. And, we discuss how you can use content to enhance your relationships with customers, change the way your business operates, and positively impact your bottom line. It'll be just like Survivor, without Jeff Probst or those ridiculous bandanas.
Grab a beverage and mingle with some smart people, just like you.
Every organization plans a news or updates section with the best of intentions. Sadly, in practice, they often end up as ghost towns of inaction. But, there are ways to do it right. In this session we'll examine the results of a research project conducted to derive best practices to managing update-style content, look at what works well for other organizations, and how you can make this work for yours.
If your idea of giving your website a social life consists solely of a 'follow us on Facebook' button on your homepage or a 'follow us on Twitter' link on your contact page, you might want to look at your analytics to see what those techniques have done for your Web results. Among the variety of reasons for a company's static online presence, the two most frequently encountered are a lack of understanding about 'social' techniques and limited technical knowledge about making simple social changes to websites.
With full bellies and open minds, we'll kick off the afternoon.
You know that usability is critical and you hear everyone talking about the importance of the user experience. However, you don't have a team of researchers, information architects, and designers at your disposal, nor do you have a large budget to work with, yet you want to do what you can to make your site useful. Molly will tell you about five ways you can improve your web site's usability without spending loads of time and money.
Today, many organizations are at a point of stasis in their web operations. They simply can't manage to take their web presence to the next level, not because of technology, but due to an inability to organize and direct an internal, collaborative web team successfully. To reach that next level and meet critical business goals, organizations need to reorient their human assets as well as their technology. This step is only accomplished through the discipline of web governance, which directly addresses and resolves those barriers to change, including decisions about web ownership, core infrastructure technology, user interface, departmental autonomy, and more.
We'll wind down the day and give away the Rosenfeld Library of books to a lucky attendee.
Join us at Blend Interactive for a chance to unwind, meet your fellow conference attendees, and grab a drink. It's just a short walk away.

Metal Ireland
No-one needs to be told that Ireland has a lot of societal problems. Now that the Republic's economy is lurching back into zombie-like motion, some flapping heads are saying we're on the up-and-up. Crows are here, in the form of ten pounding tracks, to remind us exactly how fucked we are. The band came to many people's attention due to a minor tabloid feeding frenzy over a t-shirt they released a couple of years ago. Featuring deceased broadcaster Gerry Ryan, and the legend 'Just Another Dead Junkie', you had to admire the level of hate being directed at the parochial, two-faced aspects of this country. Down to the music. It's been a while coming, this record, but the group have improved on the solid form suggested on their early demos. Clipped, heavy and hairy, the tracks get under your skin. There's an immediacy about it that grabs you by the collar. Just listen to the powerful snap of 'Suburbia Nervosa' kicking in. Ever since this reviewer saw them bulldozing a shitty venue in Dublin some time ago, I've had high hopes for the album. Those have been realised in the form of no-hope anthems of sheer anger, which come in rapid succession. There's enough bile here to give even the mighty Dystopia a run for their money. The guitar tone and the frantic vocals are the highlights. Alternating between an eyes-rolled-back scream and snarled curses, it's refreshing to hear the lyrics so clearly amidst the heaviness. An ability to quickly shift and lurch into angular sounding breakdowns helps make it all the more absorbing. The utterly distorted bass is a joy to behold, constantly rumbling away behind proceedings. There's variation in there too, with closer 'Death Crownado' shifting nicely from Cro-Mags stomp to a highly enjoyable stoner jam. It brings Sleep to mind, and comes as a fine conclusion to the record. Hardcore this enraged, bleak and heavy has to be appreciated. The fact that they've been able to keep the quality bar so high throughout is remarkable. Let it burn a hole in your mind some afternoon, when you've just fucking had it.
SWNK
After listening to this album a couple of times I couldn't help myself thinking: I know this band… After a while I realized I actually own a split 7" with Drainland (it's been way to quiet around that band… do they still exist?). The band actually rerecorded the song Suburbia nervosa of that split for this LP. If you know that split you know what to expect from this band: dark energy flowing through your speakers, structured just enough to make it hit you in the face even harder. This band pummels through ten songs full of rage. It's not that difficult to maintain a crazy level of rage on only one side of a 7", keeping it interesting for an entire LP, that's something quite different. On Better of dead Crows shows you it can be done: they refuse to back down and just keep on going until the record ends, leaving you numb. Only very little melody is added, but still the record is divers enough thus giving each song a character of it's own. The lyrics are fitting for this type of music; sketching an extremely bleak view on life and nihilistic to the bone. Nothing really matters, everything sucks and as they put it on Enter the crownado: "…I'm not pro-anything anymore" and on both Power trip and Better of dead they conclude: "Better of dead". These lyrics are blurted out in short bursts. Seven out of 10 songs don't make the 2,5 minutes mark. Album closer is a strange beast though, lasting almost 10 minutes. You will not get bored during these 10 minutes as they are at least as intense as any other song on the album. On this song some stoner riffs are added to the mix, a welcome treat after so much violence. But don't think this will last very long as the band shifts back to their natural habitat soon enough… This is one of the best dark records I've heard this year. If you are into some angry, dark music I suggest you do yourself a favor: get this!
Metal Injection
Hardcore/punk is a genre that can take a lot of time to evolve. It's something that moves (or rather evolves) extremely slow and is often more defined by its consistency and influence rather than its innovation. And while the genre has a million batting to its sound, it's the ones that harness it that really stand out amongst the lions in the game. Crows are a metallic hardcore band that sound a lot like Lights Out! if the riffage were more contained. Oh, I know that sounds like a slam to those that know what I'm talking about but it is anything but. Crows is something that sounds like it has more focus. While Lights Out! churned out some amazing tracks over the course of their short history (Overload is still amazing to this day) Crows push forward with a sound that is utterly restless without sounding like it's trying to be tougher than the toughest kid on the block. And here they are with their first full-length Better Off Dead. Maybe it's the fact that Crows sound a little more fed up and depraved than their contemporaries, but Better Off Dead is an album that has some serious attitude beyond the general qualms with life. It's the fiery riffage, it's the punchy drums, the groovy bass (seriously, listen to the bass on this album, it's excellent), it's the pissed off screams and shouts—everything that Crows throws itself at they flat out kill. If you threw together the sounds of Lights Out! (I know, again) with Burning Love you'd have Crows. The aggressive lyrical tendencies mixed with the groovy instrumentation makes for a fantastic record. It's not that Crows are original (far from it), they're just really good at what they do. Instead of becoming some innovative, hyper "I'm trying to be original" act, they walk into Better Off Dead with a "fuck it" mentality. Every track, every section of the album is the band simply doing what they do best: metallic hardcore. It's been said that this is the mosh album of the year. You know what? It just might be. Better Off Dead boasts ten tracks and starts off with a kick in the pants. A little feedback and then falls straight into a raging beat on "Dead Air (Rosenburg)." It makes you immediately question what the band would be like live. A wave of moshing and stage diving overtake the mind. Especially as the album works into the second track "Suburbia Nervosa." a straight forward drive that might just breakdown the walls of your room. What Crows also do well is draw you into their circle. The honest, cynical lyricism and soundclip interludes add to the albums already withering woodwork. Hearing someone fess up and admit to the evil of their ways as a sobering effect to it. And listening to the despise of the general day job (yeah, I'm right there with you, man) is always a welcome shout. Or the tracks like "Enter the Crownado" fester with so much pent up rage and disdain that you can't help but wonder if they're going to finally break. The breakdowns on Better Off Dead are something of a wonder. I've read a few reviews that focus a lot on the breakdowns. Yes, they're there but Crows isn't 100 Demons or Full Blown Chaos. They're not a "drone on the lowest tuning possible" band. Their breakdowns are sometimes quick, sometimes drawn out. They're more punk than your typical hardcore or beatdown band. It's when you reach the final track "Death Crownado", the nine-minute track, that you finally see what Crows capable of. The band slows down, speeds up, and thrashes as much as possible before going out on an excellent note. Crows offer nothing you haven't already heard before from the metallic hardcore/punk. They're chock full of breakdowns, pulverizing lyrics, and overall great presentation. Like Iron Reagan's The Tyranny of Will (which I absolutely loved), they're a band that just does everything right. If you enjoy a good piece of genre mayhem then Crows Better Off Dead is something you need to check out. One of the best contemporary hardcore/punk bands the genre has to offer. This is an absolute rager.
Puro Ruido
Translated: 7:30 a.m. of Sunday December 14, 2014. While waiting for the bus that takes me to my work (or rather, let me 2km from my job), I hear this full lenght of Crows. Some say that listening to a disc Hardcore at that hour of the morning, a Sunday, is not the most appropriate to start the day. I think so, because I not only active and energized me, but thanks to the disk, keeps me alert, awake. It is both the music and lyrics of these native of Dublin, make me think of how similar are all societies, how common problems facing all societies throughout the world, regardless of nationality, skin color, or whatever the fuck it. Greedy bankers, corrupt politicians, decadent society, loss of values, growth of ignorance, etc. Whether it's Ireland, Argentina, Nigeria and Jordan, everything repeats hopelessly, and the consequences are the same everywhere. Crows show you this reality, and are based on what is happening in their country, but rather could talk about any other country. Of course, for that message have the desired effect, the music should be the key tool to give an adequate framework. Crows know, so we throw an arsenal of Hardcore furious but not ultra-fast; There are passages in what is known as Beatdown Hardcore, with many middle-tempos, well marked some recesses, and accelerated never become very accelerated parties, but are fast enough to cause the listener feel the need to jump within the moshpit, real or imaginary. But the key to so much anger is not speed but the energy released songs, full of anger, true noise complaints thrown straight into the heart of a system that every day becomes more unjust and decadent. 10 tracks that do not let you get away for a second, and between which there are real missiles, such is the case of tracks like "Malediction II", "Enter The Crownado", "Power Trip" and the album's title track. There are similarities with the first Undertow, or with that great band called Trash Talk. But what matters is not the influences and similarities, but what is and says the band through this disc. And what they tell us is that we must react, fight, send everything to hell and not be trapped by killer claws of consumerism, stupidity and submission. Surely some of you believe that a Sunday morning is not the ideal time to think about these things. I say any time, any day, it is ideal for listening to records like this, and also to assimilate the message and go with the rage that transmit these Irish.

INDIA – BHUTAN
From businessman to first priest of Bhutan, thanks to the encounter with Mother Teresa
by P. Kinley Tshering sj
Fr. Kinley Tshering SJ tells his story to AsiaNews. Born into a devout Buddhist family, the priest converted to Catholicism as a child, but it will take years before accepting his vocation to the consecrated life. Fundamental figure of Mother Teresa, whom he met by chance on a plane during one of his business trips.
Darjeeling (AsiaNews) - Discover the vocation to the priesthood on board a plane, sitting next to Mother Teresa of Calcutta: is the story of Fr. Kinley Tshering SJ, the only Catholic priest Bhutanese. Born into a devout Buddhist family, as a young man studying to become an entrepreneur, but secretly converts and cultivates within himself his love for Christ. A faith suffered, as he himself tells AsiaNews: "I felt a restlessness inside of me, I had always wanted - and I felt called - to consecrate my life to Christ as a priest. Though my professional, family pressures and my same style of life helped me to make a final decision." It will be a causal encounter with the Blessed, in 1986, to convince him to accept what he feels inside. "You have a vocation - Mother Teresa told him -, be generous with God and He will be generous with you." Following is the story of the conversion of p. Tshering. Translation by AsiaNews.
It was in 1986 and I was returning from Hyderabad after attending a Bottlers Conference. I had finished my MBA from Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore (the best B Schools in India-) in marketing and was taking care of a Parle Franchise in Bhutan for three years. I had converted to Catholicism in 1974 as a school boy in class 9 at St. Joseph's School, North Point, Darjeeling, one of the best boarding schools in India. After my schooling in Darjeeling, I studied my pre university at St. Joseph's College, Bangalore and pursued my Degree Education at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai for my graduation. I went back to Bangalore to complete my Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) at Indian Institute of Management (IIM).
For two years, I received the sacraments in secrecy. Today, thanks to the magnanimity of our fourth King who gave us a democratic Constitution, people have the freedom of conscience and therefore the right to practice any religion. Before the advent of the new Constitution, the few Catholics who were here were too frightened to attend any religious service. Today we are permitted to have Mass and other liturgical services.
From 1974, there was a restlessness within me, I had always a desire- and felt called- to be consecrate my life to Christ as a priest. However with my professional studies here and there, family pressures and my own personal life style did not help me to make a decisive decision. The many priests I had as my spiritual fathers always encouraged me to wait and one even suggested that I get married since I was the only Catholic from Bhutan so that the Church could grow there. However, since I had that lurking desire to be a priest, I began pray to God to give me a sign. I remember praying that you don't have to give me a sign like to Teresa of the Child Jesus by giving snow in summer, but a decent sign so that I have no doubt.
On that Sunday morning when the Church bell ran in Hyderbad, I went to Mass as it was close to the hotel. I prayed at Mass for a sign. In the evening flight to Kolkata I was looking forward to meeting a girl friend but the plane was delayed slightly for VIP movement. I was slightly annoyed at this delay but my mood changed instantly when I saw Mother Teresa enter and sit right next to me in the front aisle. My heart was pounding and I held my breathe ! The plane took off and Mother did not even say a word to me or acknowledge me. She was deep in prayer and to what seemed like an eternity, she turned to me and asked where I was from.
I told her from Darjeeling and she was delighted and recounted to me her days at Loreto, Darjeeling. When I told her actually I am from Bhutan and that I am a Catholic, she was very curious. I told her that I am a convert and before long I was pouring out the angst of my heart to her. My desire to be a priest but all the temptations that I was having. She took my hand and said: "I have not told this to many people, but I am telling you. You have a vocation and be generous to God, and He will be generous to you." My eyes were filled with tears and I cried all the way to Calcutta filled with joy. I asked God for a miracle to affirm my vocation, God sent me an angel, just like to Mother Mary. I had nothing else to say but "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, Be it done to me according to your word."
My beloved mother came to leave me at the Jesuit novitiate at Mount Carmel at Kurseong. Her tremendous love for me allowed her to forget the paradox and irony of the moment. A Buddhist mother allowing her son to be a Catholic monk! It was unthinkable at that time. She swallowed all her tears and bravely left me at the Jesuit novitiate. I was so happy to join the novitiate that I did not realize her pain and anguish. When she left I was so relieved and got down seriously to being a novice. My peace was short-lived. In the evening she returned and begged me to come back home and forget this madness. I begged her to give me two weeks for the first probation and if I then did not like what I was doing she was welcome to return and take me back home.
My mother's love for me gave her the strength to agree and turn back. Two weeks later she was again at the novitiate and finding me so happy, she went back and sent me a message: "Be a good monk and never turn back on your decision". Nine years later she was at my ordination and was beaming with joy and smiling, while my sisters were crying. I remember what she told the people at that ordination. "Nine years ago I finished shedding all my tears and now I rejoice with my son, for he will now serve humankind." My father, a devout Buddhist, did not attend my ordination, but has respected my choices.
After my ordination, I went to Calcutta to meet Mother Teresa. The first thing she said to me was, " I have been praying for you for the last ten years."
My mother's advice to me at that time was: Be a good monk (priest) and do not forget the people, especially the poor.
My mother is not a theologian, but I realize that what she taught me as a child are the Christian virtues I cherish as an adult. A Buddhist mother has helped a Jesuit priest to be proud of his vocation, in humble service of the poor, never forgetting that life is passing and impermanent and what is real is the relentless search for Buddhahood, to be free from all inordinate attachments in our Ignatian vision.

What is Private Equity? A Brief History
/ Investors
/ By Judy Radler Cohen
Tags: Accredited Investors, Alternative Assets, Private Equity, Raising Capital,
An Introduction Into the World of Private Equity
Private equity is, in the most simplistic terms, equity held in a private business. PE firms are run by general partners (also called sponsors). GPs invest money raised from investors who work together for a limited amount of time, aptly named "limited partners."
PE by Another Name: The Leveraged Buyout
Private equity firms are sometimes referred to as "buyout firms." This is so for a few reasons. First, the term is descriptive. Unlike venture capital firms, which usually don't buy entire companies, PE firms do–or at least they acquire controlling interests in certain operational or management decisions. Second, the term is actually shorthand for "leveraged buyout firm." Most PE buyouts involve a PE firm putting up only a portion of the capital required to purchase a target, with the remainder coming in the form of a loan from a bank that is secured by the assets of the acquisition target. These loans secured against the acquired company's own assets are the "leverage" in a leveraged buyout (LBO).
Leveraged buyout firms established themselves on Wall Street in the late 1970s and 1980s when investment bankers, like notably high-profile financier Michael Milken, created them as a method of leveraging a company with debt equity and equity capital in order to buy it. Among the most notorious buyout firms of that period—although not connected to Milken—was the $25 billion RJR Nabisco buyout in 1988. In many ways, today's PE firm is yesterday's LBO firm.
Once purchased, the target company is usually one of many owned, or at least controlled, by the PE firm and, thus, is typically referred to as a "portfolio company" of the firm.
Private Equity Funds vs Private Equity Firms
One point of clarification: above, we speak of a private equity "firm." We were intentionally imprecise in order to more clearly present the following concept. One must delineate between a private equity firm and a private equity fund. The 'sponsor' is the PE firm, and the firm is often the general partner of several (or many) individual PE funds.
A limited partner (i.e., an individual accredited investor who decides to invest money with the PE firm) does so by investing in a specific PE fund raised by the PE firm. So, by example, a PE firm could have, say, four distinct funds of which it is the general partner and manager. Each fund will have its own limited partners (though any individual limited partner may choose to invest in multiple funds) and its own portfolio companies. Limited partners are not limited to individual accredited investors. Most count banks, insurance companies, pension funds and other large entities among their investors.
Private Equity is Not a New Concept
Taking a step back, the practice of people pooling their money together to purchase controlling stakes in a private company is not a new concept; although, as the Wall Street Journal points out in its excellent article on this subject, "[w]hile the private-equity firm is new, its methods—venture capital, growth capital, distressed situations, leveraged buyouts and others—are as old as capitalism itself." In fact, the Massachusetts Bay Company was an early prototype of the private equity model, in that it pooled money to help fund the burgeoning British North American colonies. Settlers sent to the new American colonies helped build up the economy, while those who stayed in England helped fund the venture, hoping to find a return on their investment over time.
A few hundred years later, railroads were struggling to find funding by simply turning to wealthy families, as they had in the past. They were bailed out by major banks that bought controlling interests and used their leverage to restructure business operations, insert new management and attempt to eliminate corruption and deceit. These are all present-day components of private equity's modus operandi. When JP Morgan & Company paid $480 million for floundering Carnegie Steel in 1901, it created what was the largest company in the world at that time: United States Steel.
So, why is private equity private? As discussed above, it tends to invest in private companies. But, this is not the answer, since one private equity strategy involves taking publicly-owned targets off the public market, "taking them private". Private equity is private because it raises money in such a way (e.g., from accredited investors) that allows it to avoid having to make any public offering of a stock on a public stock exchange.
Today's Private Equity Firm
The private equity firm of today traces its origins to the American Research and Development Corporation, founded in 1946. The industry also had forerunners in the form of U.S. governmental institutions created to address needs brought on by the two world wars and the intervening Great Depression, as explained by Wiley Finance in its 2008 book Private Equity, History, Governance, and Operations.
According to PEI Media, "[a]s recently as the 1970s, it was hard to count more than a few dozen private equity firms…in the United States. Now there are private equity firms both miniscule and enormous in all the developed countries of the world and in most of the emerging markets." This development, as also explained in Characteristics of the Private Equity Arena, was in part a function of: (a) the U.S. stock market's slump of the 1970s turning around; (b) clarifications in 1978 to ERISA, a 1974 law governing how retirement plan funds can be invested that was a drag on the industry before the clarification; and (c) subsequent reductions of the maximum capital gains tax rate.
The Golden Age of Private Equity
The golden age of the leveraged buyout firm came in the late 1980s when players like KKR and Michael Milken engineered large LBOs. Since then, as superior returns encouraged more investment in the asset class and as the number of funds proliferated as a natural consequence of fund managers leaving one firm to found a new one, the industry continued to grow into what it is today. A good example of this can be seen by looking at the legendary PE firm, Golder Thoma & Co.
Established in 1980 by Stanley Golder and Carl Thoma, Golder Thoma & Co. originated the "consolidation" or "buy and build" investment strategy, which sought to combine the best of venture investing with the best of leveraged buyouts by investing in a "platform" business in a fragmented industry, then working with management to transform it into a larger and more profitable business through internal growth and a series of strategic, industry-consolidating acquisitions.
Stanley Golder and Carl Thoma worked together at First Chicago Corp. before founding Golder Thoma & Co. Looking at one branch of the genealogy, Golder Thoma & Co. eventually split into Thoma Bravo and GTCR. Looking at a different branch, John Canning took Stanley Golder's place at First Chicago Corp., and Canning ultimately left to form Madison Dearborn. These three firms are among the largest and most prominent PE firms currently in existence, though First Chicago Corp. later merged with Banc One Corp., now part of Chase Bank.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I can't see a thread on the Irish Times' "crane watch" which was commenced last year.
There were 60 construction cranes visible over the centre of Dublin on February 1st from the seventh floor of The Irish Times building on Tara Street. This is an increase of two – or 3 per cent – on December's total of 58 and a rise of 26 (or 76 per cent) on the 34 cranes recorded on February 1st, 2016, when The Irish Times crane survey was first launched.
An interesting one to keep an eye on, they post a monthly count.
For the sake of context and comparison, anyone know if there are any documented numbers of cranes prior to previous crash available?
I have searched google archived news, but couldn't find any references.
The number of cranes is only going to rise over the next 2 years particularly in the north docklands.
There was a thread ( I can't find) on the number of idle cranes around the city duringthe bust.
Yeah, I had a laugh about that too. God forbid there might be a crane down in Cork or in Galway.
Yes typical example of Irish Times and R.T.E. South County Dublin short sightedness.
