The private equity industry has experienced immense growth in recent years. Firms worldwide raised almost $1 trillion throughout 2017 and 2018 as traders gravitated toward private investments, according to researchers from Peqin. Today, an estimated 5,100 separate PE entities populate the sector, intent on generating $1.6 trillion in the coming months. However, this exceedingly competitive investment environment, combined with the almost overwhelming complexity that comes with modern PE operations, creates significant risk, The Wall Street Journal reported. For this reason, it is essential that PE firms examine their investment workflows and address any and all operational components that might lead to losses.
Two areas in particular deserve special attention: acquisition assessment and asset exiting.
Virtually all the organizations navigating the global PE sector maintain robust due-diligence processes. However, a good number engage in some worrying habits during this essential work. For instance, the average firm spends half as much time evaluating potential investments with known entities as it does reviewing opportunities associated with unknown parties, according to data from Evestment. Although relationships are important, this kind of operational oversight introduces unnecessary risk. So, instead of playing fast and loose with due diligence, PE firms should embrace in-depth investment assessment methods, including strategy-deal hypothesis creation, value blueprint modeling, and opportunity scanning, and apply them evenly to all opportunities.
PE exit volumes have decreased over the last three years, according to Pitchbook. Distressed exits in particular seem to be in sharp decline, meaning more firms are either releasing assets in good financial condition or retaining them for the long term, per the PE software provider. While it seems businesses in the PE industry have a firm grasp on exit strategy, some problems persist. Managerial bias is still a significant issue for PE firms navigating exits, with executives overlooking hard data in favor of emotional attachment. Again, this brand of asset management introduces additional risk into the investment equation and hamstrings PE performance. For this reason, exit strategy optimization is critical for modern PE firms, as is the implementation of data-backed portfolio assessment workflows.
As the PE marketplace tightens and operational complexity increases, it is critical that firms get a handle on these two key areas, lest they incur losses. Here at USC Consulting Group, we have been working with organizations in the PE sector for decades, leveraging our operational and managerial consulting experience to reduce risk and lay the foundation for growth.

Cruise ships aren't coming back to Monaco anytime soon
Nassima Errami - 9 December 2020
© Monaco Yacht Show
While some countries, including Italy and Croatia, have let cruises continue under specific conditions, France and Monaco still won't let the industry set sail.
Letting cruise ships anchor in Monaco is out of the question, says Monaco's Government. Back in March, the Government has stressed how difficult it is to cure people if an outbreak occurs on a cruise ship.
In December, the caution remains the same and there are currently no plans of reopening Monaco to the cruising industry.
The decision has hit hard Monaco's travel agencies. Some of them, which offer mainly cruises, have seen their activity fall by 70%, reports French news website LaQuotidienne.fr.
In nearby France, travel agencies are not faring much better. In fact, the National Union of Travel Agencies reports an 80% drop in activity from 15 March to the end of October 2020. In November, French travel agencies had more trip reimbursement requests than bookings.
The crisis will continue in 2021
With overall losses reaching a billion euros in 2020, some travel agencies will not be able to survive. Furthermore, an uncertain recovery during 2021 will only accentuate the impact on the Monégasque economy. In Monaco, faced with a 90% drop in business, the Cruiseline agency has had no choice but to activate a redundancy plan and lay off staff.
The cruising industry brings a yearly 300,000 visitors to Monaco. Their absence now impacts the whole of the Principality's economic fabric, including hotels, shops, restaurants, and cultural sites, such as the Oceanographic Museum.

On June 20 the Orange County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution by a vote of 6 to 1 urging Gov. Cooper to ban the import and usage of natural gas from fracking operations.
The resolution is in support of a statewide campaign, headed by NC WARN and the NC NAACP, calling on North Carolina to do its part to help slow the acceleration of global warming, which scientists deem a planetary emergency, and which is already hammering this state with a series of floods, wildfires, severe storms and rising seas.
The world's leading scientists say that methane from fracking operations has become a leading driver of the climate crisis.
The resolution effort was spearheaded by Commissioner Mark Marcoplos.
The Orange board is providing leadership in the effort to avert runaway climate chaos.

Southland Canceled Before Second Season
Wow. Here's a perfect example of the irritating nature of modern network TV. After shoving awesome series Kings out of its intended primo Thursday night TV spot to the no-man's land of Sunday (then Saturday, then summer burn-off purgatory) to make way for their new golden child Southland, NBC up and cancels Southland before its second season even debuts.
HitFix reports that NBC's decision was partially due to Southland's dark nature but mostly due to money. NBC must be in serious financial woes if they decided it was good to can a show that had already shot 6 episodes, and had won modest ratings the spring before. What's the point, after all, of creating quality dramas and then bailing on them before they have a chance to do you any good?
I'll admit, they were right about their assessment of the show's dark nature scaring off some viewers. I never watched Southland, because I just wasn't in the mood for another depressingly realistic show about the worst elements of mankind. I was also feeling loyal to Kings, a lovely show that got royally screwed, if you'll forgive the pun. So NBC for sure wasn't going to have me as a viewer for the show.
Despite that, I do feel sorry for the talented actors in the Southland series who are now unexpectedly out of work. This is especially rough for them since it's happened at the start of the season, when most decisions on pilots are already made, including the mid-season fill-ins.
For Southland fans, NBC promises to try and air the 6 episodes that were made at some point, but I'm not sure how invested folks will want to be in a series that will just drop off in the middle of the action. Once again the fans get burned by network cancellations. But hey, there's always Jay Leno on 5 nights a week if you're looking for edgy drama--oh wait, never mind.
ETA: TV Series Finale reports that Southland is being shopped around to other networks and cable stations, so there's always a possibility you'll see more of the show on another channel.

I'm another fan of Kings and as you said I was so upset by them axing Kings that I didn't give Southland a chance at first glance. Then so many of my friends talked about it that I wanted to give it a shot and I couldn't be happier that I did. Or well, happy until NBC ripped out my fannish heart again that is.
It was a show I REALLY wanted to see, and not just in a 'meh, I could maybe watch that' feeling that most of tv is these days.
"What's the point, after all, of creating quality dramas and then bailing on them before they have a chance to do you any good?" - couldn't agree more!
/Elizaria
It's the best drama I've seen in a long time. It's not just the withdrawal of antenna. Why NBC?
NBC sucks! I loved this show! :(
I would LOVE to see this show go to another network, it should not be over yet.
Bad decision NBC.
I love this show and i can't believe NBC would be stupid enough to cancel it. I only watched NBC for Southland but from what i've heard this isn't the first time they've dont something like this. I was looking forward to watching the re-airings of the first season before the second season started and then NBC cancelled it. Im so pissed off over their decison and for not letting the viewers decide after seeing the second season of Southland.
southland was real. I don't think it was necessarily "dark". At least, not what I'd call dark. this was really the only show I was looking forward to this season. Piss on NBC and their damn Leno show. His ratings are terrible. I hope NBC loses thier shirts on that little gamble, if they haven't already. Can't understand why they couldn't just let the show premiere and have a shot at it. Especially since they already had some shows in the can.
Tori October 10, 2009 at 5:13 PM
I cannot believe NBC's canceling Southland (although maybe I should given its drastic decline in the past few years). Southland is the first NBC show in ages I've both enjoyed and respected. It's dark and gritty, yes, but most people I know happen to like that and more importantly, Southland did it WELL. It's a unique, well-written, realistic show that deserves to be shown somewhere. Now, I literally watch nothing on NBC.
Mature, well written shows don't come along very often. More and more they're only on cable channels. That's where Southland belongs. Fingers crossed.
I agree that Southland was real, not necessarily dark. Real life includes some negatives, especially if one is in law enforcement. This show had great potential, with a quality cast of intriguing characters. I will miss getting to know them better.
Now there are only three shows I watch on broadcast TV....and none of them are NBC.
no_detective October 10, 2009 at 8:06 PM
I keep reading reviews that call Southland "gritty" and "dark", but (after the in-your-face pilot) I actually found it to be very intimate - as in, familiar and well-rounded characters experiencing and dealing with intense but realistic things. Frankly, the fetishism of crime and violence on so-called "similar" cop shows is much more disturbing; that's why I don't watch any of the CSIs or L&Os, and I almost didn't give Southland a try. (Until I did, and then I TOTALLY fell for the show.)
Southland is the best drama I've seen on network TV in years. It has HEART, it is subtle and never overwritten, it says something very honest about an often misrepresented field of law enforcement, and it's got AWESOME gender politics (shocking, right?). For all of these reasons, I really hope it gets picked up by another network.
Oh, and I'd boycott NBC except that was the last show of theirs I had any interest in watching. Smart move, NBC.
I'll take Southland any day over Leno. It's a beautifully-imagined, smart drama that took their veiwership inside people's lives without playing to any stereotypes I could see. I really loved and appreciated this show and I feel that NBC would rather ignore intelligence in favor of quick cash. A payout over the long run just isn't worth it to them, it seems.
It's just not fair that they got canceled so soon. The second season hadn't even premiered and they just pulled the plug. And, I'm sorry, but the excuse they gave? "Too dark"? That's just an easy out. That's what life is at times. Why else would these great dramas exist if it wasn't like that? It's just such a shame. The cast is so talented and the writing is as well. They don't deserve this.
NBC may not even notice that I'm boycotting it since Southland was the only one of its shows that I watched. I can't believe this is the same network that used to be known for its commitment to quality drama.

So much agreement for what no_detective said above - to be, Southland was less 'gritty' or 'dark,' and more about the stark relationships and realities of real human beings working in a a high-risk job such as the LAPD. It was not about the hacksaw murders or women in refrigerators we've come to expect from police procedural drama where the time is spent with fake forensics in poorly lit labs rather than the human characters (or if we do spend time putting a face on crime, it is that of the criminal who commits it rather than the hero who stops it). Instead, "Southland" gave us a picture of individuals, fragmented and flawed but heroes nonetheless. This was not the corrupted force of "The Wire" or the seductive, fetishist romantic portrait of high-profile crime. Instead it was raw and honest, but ultimately focused heavily on what good drama often is at its heart: a look at humans, and how we can succeed even in the face of failure or terrible odds, of brooking on someone's good intentions instead of their spotty track record.
It's a shame to see such a stunningly personal show fall by the wayside. "Southland" was no more a police show than "ER" was a show about doctors. It was about people. Unfortunately, it seems like NBC is running out of room for those.
Totally agree with Abby and no_detective. I sure hope a moribund network like NBC doesn't get to decide the fate of a great show like SouthLAnd. What about Canada, UK, all the other countries that have picked up this show? Here's hoping TNT will come through for us. SouthLAnd is too good a show not to find a new and better home!
Shame that a so original show falls appart, I really hope it would be saved by another channel and get the credit it deserves!

Q: Is the following subset of $\mathbb{R^2}$ complete? I am having troubles with figuring if this space (with the Euclidean metric) is complete or not.
$$ \left\{{(x,y)\in \mathbb{R^2}} : x > 0, y \geq \frac{1}{x}\right\}$$
I tried Cauchy sequences, but I was not able to find one which converges and is contained within the set. Also, the set is not closed, so I cannot use that either. Can someone help me out?

A: Hints:
A subset of a complete metric space is closed if and only if it's complete.
There's no notion of completely closed. Is your set closed or is it not? Try sketching it to get a better idea (then prove your guess).
If you still have trouble, look at $\{(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2 : xy \geq 1\}$. Is this closed? How does it relate to your set?
One last hint, if you're still having trouble:

 $$\{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : xy \geq 1, x > 0\} = \\ \{(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2 : xy \geq 1\} \cap \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2: x > 0\} = \\ \{(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2 : xy \geq 1\} \cap \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2: x \geq 0\}$$

A: Define $f(x,y)=xy$. This is a continuous function $f:\mathbb R^{\geq 0}\times\mathbb R^{\geq 0}\rightarrow\mathbb R^{\geq 0}$. Your set is the set $f^{-1}\left([1,+\infty)\right)$. Since $[1,+\infty)$ is closed, your set is closed in $\mathbb R^{\geq 0}\times\mathbb R^{\geq 0}$, which is a complete metric space.
If you'd rather only deal with $\mathbb R$, you can define two functions:
$$f(x,y)=xy\\g(x,y)=x+y$$Then your set is equal to $$f^{-1}\left([1,+\infty)\right)\cap g^{-1}\left([0,+\infty)\right)$$
which is the intersection of two sets which are closed in $\mathbb R\times \mathbb R$, since $f$ and $g$ are continuous.

A: Note that

A closed subset of a complete metric space (your case it is $\mathbb{R^2}$) is complete.

Let The Northern Lights Erase Your Name
Welcome back. This month the MC book club considers one woman's search for her father, her mother and her own identity in Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name.
What would you do if you found out your father wasn't really your father? And you couldn't interrogate your mother about it because she disappeared 14 years earlier? Why not do as Vendela Vida's 28-year-old heroine Clarissa Iverton did: seek out your roots in Finland's icy and exotic Lapland and discover some chilling truths.
LUCY: (Executive Editor) ( I enjoyed the book, but I had a problem with the self- consciousness of the writing — like when she compares her fiance's eyes to the color of the papaya seeds. I mean, I don't know what color papaya seeds are. Am I supposed to run to the botanical dictionary?
LAUREN: Articles Editor) ( Right, why have all that cute clausey, clausey, clause clause language? But sometimes her metaphors really worked.
LUCY: Eh —sometimes. When she said Henrik smelled like a hamster she used to own, I thought that was a perfectly good description of how a guy named Henrik could smell. But —
LAUREN: Or "Everything around me felt familiar yet amiss, like the first time you ride in the backseat of your own car," I liked that. I got that.
SARAH: (Editorial Assistant) I was really impressed that there was a story.
LUCY: Yeah, I found the idea of having to find out what the deal is with your mother who abandoned you extremely compelling and moving. I mean, it's just basic stuff, and if it sends you to the ends of the earth, I believe it absolutely could.
YAEL: (Associate Editor) But the main character just pissed me off! I mean, if it were me, I would definitely want to find my mother. But I'd like to think I wouldn't completely overlook the people who were there for me. So what if her dad wasn't her biological father? He treated her like his own.
SARAH: The thing that's going to make me throw up is when people say that Lapland (or what have you) is a character in this book.
YAEL: …And all that ice is a stand in for the icy mother…
SARAH: I mean, her mother was pretty freakin' awful. When she says, "You poor thing, you always tried so hard to get a reaction from me." What the —
LUCY: See, I didn't feel like her mother was being malicious. I just felt like she was who she was. It's probably just something she was looking at with a degree of disconnection because she was never really in this mother-daughter relationship, in the way one hopes mothers typically are. It was like this quizzical "What do you want from me?"
YAEL: Well, there was a brief moment when Clarissa overhears her mother crying late at night and goes to her. And her mom says "You have no idea what I've been through."
LUCY: You know what I thought was so weird — at the end she says "I didn't forgive her, but I could understand what had possessed her to do what she had done…You could not erase a rape – you would always be either a victim or survivor." What's with that? After all this incredible ellipticalness, it's suddenly like a pamphlet from a crisis center.
YAEL: Right, like "Ohhh, okay, I get why you left now." But the whole end was rushed and unfinished. All of a sudden, she goes off to Hong Kong to start a new life? Live happily ever after, just like that?
LAUREN: And she's pregnant with her ex-fiancee's baby!
YAEL: Right! Now her own daughter is never going to know her biological father either?! Vida writes in the Afterword that she was "curious about the kind of person who would see their past as unconnected to their present." But her kid is totally connected to her past! God! Talk about baggage…
LAUREN: Yeah, I don't know anybody who could just start fresh and meet someone new like she does and not fill him in on where's she been.
LUCY: …because so many of us have that defining urge to be known — even the bad stuff. I mean, you are who you are.
LAUREN: It's like, "You know, I used to be wild."
LUCY: Right. Or, "I killed a guy once."

When throwing any big event you probably think that food and entertainment are going to be your biggest concern, but any smart host must remember not to forget the extremely essential need of portable toilets. Not every portable toilet is the same and any good host wants to make sure their guests are comfortable, including their bathroom requirements. The following are just several of the most important considerations to be aware of when you're thinking about a portable toilet solution for your event.
Choices to think about when choosing a portable toilet solution include the amount of people attending, the projected length of the event, whether refreshments will be served and whether the atmosphere of the event will be causal or upscale. By far the most important points that go into choosing your portable toilets will be the number of guests you're hosting, the type of occasion and how long will people be staying .
Step one to a successful occasion is selecting a reputable porta potty vendor. You should go with a portable toilet rental service that has experience, a wide selection, a consistent service history, and has the experience to work with you to get the perfect portable sanitation solution for your needs. Ask your portable toilet company about how fast they can react in case there is a problem with any of their stalls during your get together, since no one wants to watch their attendees exit prematurely due to a problem. You'll have a vast assortment of porta potty choices to choose from, so you shouldn't have any issues finding the size or numbers that you'll need to host your event.
If you're renting porta potties for a high class or upscale event, such as a wedding, then there are even more choices you'll want to know about. In the case of a special occasion, it would be a good idea to rent facilities that have sinks, mirrors, handicap access and also family rooms. If your guests are dressed up for this particular event, then there will be plenty who will want to make sure their looking good by finding a mirror and being able to clean up in the portable toilets. If you're holding an ourside event or wedding, these situations are especially important since attendees will not be able to easily access indoor restrooms for their requirements.
Prior to contacting a portable toilet service you should be ready to give them the round about number of guests and length of time you will be engaging your event for. The cost of your rentals will be determined by the length of time you are using the stalls for, how many units you units rented and any additional customization selections you've decided to take. The positive thing about renting porta potties is that you have the option to customize the toilets to match your individual desires.
There are a range of other options to think about when considering which type of portable toilets to choose. The main factors are the type of event, number of guests and how long you'll need the rentals for. Remember that the portable toilets will take some time to set up and break down, so you'll want to include that into your preparation to prevent delays to your event. At larger events it's a smart idea to opt for a special stall with handicap access to ensure all guests can take advantage of it if needed.
Other than the actual porta potty units, you'll also need to make sure you have a good portion of paper towels and toilet paper handy in case your units run out. Types of supplies will include things such as hand sanitizer, toilet paper and additional paper products when guests are washing their hands. You might want to make sure that there are toilet paper refills nearby at all times, since the last thing you want at your gathering is for a person to come up and remind you they need more amenities in the stalls.
When renting the typical portable toilet then you're looking at an average price of between fifty and seventy-five dollars per day. To cut costs you'll need to try and choose a porta potty vendor that is as near to your event as possible, that way you don't pay as much for transportation charges. If you would like to rent deluxe portable toilets, it runs around 0 and a VIP self-contained mobile toilet will cost around 0. Thinking about these points are important when selecting a vendor to rent your portable toilet from. Regardless of who you select to fulfill your porta potty needs, you can't go wrong as long as you're asking the correct questions ahead of time.

Calgary Flames vs Minnesota Wild 12/7/22 NHL Picks, Predictions, Odds
Chris Ruffolo Follow on Twitter December 7, 2022
Minnesota Wild (13-9-2) vs. Calgary Flames (12-10-3)
The Line: Calgary Flames -157 / Minnesota Wild +130; Over/Under: +6.5
The Minnesota Wild and the Calgary Flames in NHL action from the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday night.
The Minnesota Wild will look to build on their current four-game win streak after a 6-5 shootout win over Dallas last time out. Kirill Kaprizov has a team-high 32 points with a team-high 16 goals and 16 assists while Mats Zuccarello has 24 points with 8 goals and 16 assists. Matt Boldy has 18 points with 9 goals and 9 assists and Joel Eriksson Ek has 22 points with 9 goals and 13 assists. Calen Addison also has 12 assists this season. Marc-Andre Fleury is 9-5-1 with a 3.04 GAA and an .895 save percentage while Filip Gustavsson is 4-4-1 with a 2.75 GAA and a .909 save percentage this season.
The Calgary Flames will look to build on back-to-back wins after a 3-2 win over Arizona last time out. Elias Lindholm leads the Flames in scoring with 19 points including 9 goals and 10 assists while Tyler Toffoli has 18 points with 8 goals and 10 assists and Rasmus Andersson has 17 points with a team-high 14 assists. Nazem Kadri also has 19 points split between 9 goals and 10 assists this season. Jacob Markstrom's gone 8-6-2 with a 2.97 GAA and an .889 save percentage while Dan Vladar is 4-4-1 with a 2.54 GAA and a .914 save percentage between the pipes for Calgary this season.
Minnesota is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall and 5-0 in their last 5 games against the Western Conference while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a win. Calgary is 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 9-1 in their last 10 Wednesday games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.
I get the case to be made either way in this one, but I'm going to side with the Wild here. I still don't trust the Flames as far as I can throw them, and while Minnesota has had their issues at times this season, they've won 6 of 7 coming into this game and I think they add to those numbers here at a nice plus money price. Give me Minnesota here.

Q: Moving a range of cells to another sheet based on value in cell I don't even know how to word this correctly which is doubtlessly why i am having trouble.
So I have 3 columns, names, time, values in each row.
I want to take all the times next to the same name and put them in another sheet, under a column headed by the persons name.
I would be happy with the first part but in addition, if possible, I would also like to make sure that the when the times get posted they are related to the values they were originally next to.
example:
john     7    10
john     5    20
john   6.5    30
amy     14    10
amy      8    20
amy      2    40

becomes
      john    amy
10       7     14
20       5      8
30     6.5
40              2

A: Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
j = 6
Cells(1, 6).Value = Cells(1, 1).Value
For i = 2 To 6
    If Cells(i, 1).Value <> Cells(1, j).Value Then
        Cells(1, j + 1).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value
        j = j + 1
    End If
Next i

Range("C1:C6").Copy
Range("E2:E7").PasteSpecial

Range("E2:E7").Sort Key1:=Range("E2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
Range("E2:E7").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo

For k = 1 To 6
    For m = 6 To 9
        For n = 2 To 6
            If Cells(k, 1).Value = Cells(1, m).Value And Cells(k, 3).Value = Cells(n, 5).Value Then
                Cells(n, m).Value = Cells(k, 2).Value
            End If
        Next n
    Next m
Next k

This code solves your particular example. Keep in mind that this is not a versatile code so you gonna have to change the limits of the loops and ranges in your actual thing.

A: No need for VBA here, just use the powerful tools Excel has already built in to analyze your data:
Create a PivotTable to analyze worksheet data and the result will be like below. If you change values in the orginal data you will just need to update the PivotTable.

New research reveals that scientists can detect a broad range of cancers using a protein from malaria.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen discovered this new method of finding cancer. Published in Nature Communications on Thursday, the study explains how this malaria protein has the unique ability to detect early-stage cancer in blood.
According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, with more than 8.8 million people dying from it each year. Out of all global deaths, one in six is from cancer. While scientists have made many strides in recent decades, much research is still needed to be able to tackle the many types of cancer. This new research will help with the fight with not just one, but multiple types of cancer.
Other methods exist for detecting cancer in the blood, most of which rely on a marker on the surface of tumor cells. Since not all tumor cells display this marker, some cancers can slip through the cracks. Now, the malaria protein VAR2CSA can be used. VAR2CSA sticks to a sugar molecule that's found in over 95 percent of all cancer cells. To test the method, the scientists inserted 10 cancer cells into a blood sample. By using the malaria protein, they were able to retrieve nine out of the 10 cells.
"We count the number of cancer cells, and based on that, we're able to make a prognosis. You can, for example, decide to change a given treatment if the number of circulating tumor cells does not change during the treatment the patient is currently undergoing," Mette Ørskov Agerbæk, author of the study, said in a statement.

The Root of Change in Modern Society
The root of change in modern society often comes from gaps in our ability to move progress in a way which positively impacts us. In addition, once there are gaps in relational understanding, you can see the powers of opposing sides by force of humanity, trying to work together in a symbiotic way to bring them back together. Then by sheer human nature, the power of survival challenges our ability as humans to live in a state of co-evolution. The PilialohaNow Building Sustainability podcast and web series coming soon, is based on the goal of bridging inevitable 'gaps of trust' of differing philosophical opinions, individual goals, public servitude, and societal agendas to make sustainable long-term positive changes for future generations.

Cayce West Columbia Chamber asks members to turn out for public hearing to support zoo funding
Cayce-West Columbia, SC (Paul Kirby) – The Cayce West Columbia Chamber of Commerce sent an e-mail to their members asking them to make their voices heard at a public hearing scheduled for tonight, Tuesday May 28, 2019, by the Lexington County Council. Its purpose is to let the council know how the community feels about the way that Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens will be funded in the future. The council will also hear from the citizens about proposed cuts to the amount of money provided by Lexington County to the zoo each year.
In the e-mail from Chamber Executive Director Richard Skipper he wrote, "As you know Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is a powerful economic engine in South Carolina, the state's largest tourist attraction and the Southeast's most visited zoo. Riverbanks is also a global leader in conservation and green business initiatives.
For more than four decades, Riverbanks has received critical operating funds from both Lexington and Richland Counties through a designated property tax millage. This annual investment by the Counties has enabled Riverbanks to become a top ten zoo in the U.S. With more than 700 employees serving 1.3 million visitors each year, Riverbanks pumps more than $148 million into the local economy and supports more than 1,800 jobs around the community.
Recently, Lexington County proposed a cut to Riverbanks' operating funding from $1.28 million to $500,000. A reduction of this magnitude will have a significant impact on zoo operations, and a rippling effect on our economy and community. In addition to potential personnel cuts, Riverbanks will be forced to evaluate its ability to sustain Free Fridays for Lexington County residents and free admission for Lexington County school groups. Riverbanks is proud to be a prized part of Lexington County and the County's investment is critical to the Zoo and Garden's continued success.
During a budget session last week, Lexington County Council voted 5 - 4 to continue to pursue their proposed funding cut for Riverbanks. Thanks to Council Members Beth Carrigg, Glenn Conwell, Todd Cullum and Debbie Summers for voting in favor of your Zoo. However, the final vote is not in yet."
Skipper continued by saying there is still time to voice your concerns about Lexington County's proposed cut to Riverbanks' operating fund. Citizens can do so tonight at a public meeting scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in the County Administration Building which is located at 212 South Lake Drive in Lexington.
"Your presence at the public hearing is critical to this process. Please join us. Again, we sincerely appreciate your voice and ardent support of Riverbanks," Skipper ended his e-mail.


It is the first phase of a penetration test. It is also called reconnaissance. It allows a hacker to gain information about the target system. In this segment, we are going to talk about Footprinting Theory like why we do it, goals and what are the tools used in it. FootPrinting can be both active or passive. By active FootPrinting we mean that we are creating devices or endpoints or systems and services within the target environment directly which can be logged. In passive we use publicly available information on the internet which actually often doesn't even come close near the target environment.
FootPrinting is the process of accumulating data regarding a specific target for the purpose of finding ways to exploit the target in further phases.
Why do we do FootPrinting?
In order to perform or prevent an attack, we need to gather information and then look for weaknesses. FootPrinting is a very good mechanism to build a database of information about the prospective target which also helps in the reporting phase at the end of the penetration test. It shows the customer that how much information about their environment is publically available. We also use FootPrinting to learn about all aspects of perspective target's security posture, systems, applications, people, suppliers, customers.
The more the information the more it is useful. So here we try to find out as much as possible without actually engaging the target. This holds actually true in the case of passive reconnaissance / FootPrinting because the customer is unaware that someone is actually interrogating its information.
What are the goals to FootPrinting?
The ultimate goal of FootPrinting is to get a holistic view and as much information as possible about the specific target. We do this so that we are able to set up the path that we will take to execute the attack in the later phase. For e.g. If the customer is not running an oracle system, then we will not try an oracle exploit during the penetration phase of the penetration test.
A list of devices and their roles and configurations.
A network map – internal/external/wireless.
A list of applications with version numbers.
A list of people that work for/at the target.
We must remember that any information about the target no matter how significant it may seem could prove to be vital down the line.
Public Facing Internal Sites – Webmail, VPN, Intranet etc.
One must always remember one thing that we are not doing this to exploit weaknesses. This phase is only about collecting information as much as possible about the target.

Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé
When my featured artist today had an exhibition of his work in London, the London Times summed up his works by saying "it must be seen to be believed". In America the art critics designated him as "the magician of light". His paintings are extraordinary. They are magnificent. Let me introduce you to the Russian landscape and staunch realist painter, Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé.
Sevanavank Monastery on Lake Sevan by Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé
Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé was born in St. Petersburg on October 21st 1874. His ancestors hailed from Germany but emigrated to Russia in the eighteenth century. The original spelling of his family name, which was of German origin, was Schultze. His story was not one of a child dreaming of becoming a professional artist. His fascination at an early age was electricity and its production through hydro power especially the electricity generated by the Imatra waterfall in South Karelia. His interest in science was sated by an engineering education, although he continued to convey his creative side and during those early days as a teenager, he would spend his spare time painting small sketches. He headed up an engineering project in Finland but something went badly wrong and he lost all his money and was declared bankrupt.
Winter Sunset by Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé
Ivan realised he had to earn money from another source and decided to concentrate on his drawing and painting abilities. Along with his early paintings which he had fortunately not discarded, he approached the academician, famous landscape painter and drawing teacher, Konstantin Yakovlevich Kryzhitsky, who had been a court painter to Tsar Nicholas II and was a painter of miniatures. His talent was apparent to Kryzhitsky and he enabled Ivan to be admitted to the Imperial Academy of Arts in St Petersburg. In addition to Kryzhitsky, Choultsé was influenced by other tutors, the Russian landscape artist Arkhip Kuindzhi and the Swiss landscape painter Alexander Kalam. In 1903 Choultsé held his first Academy exhibition which gained him early fame and recognition as a talented artist. His exhibition was a great success and he went on to exhibit his work at other major galleries in St. Petersburg and Moscow. He was eventually elected as a court painter to Tsar Nicholas II.
Park in Neskuchnoye by Ivan Choultse
In 1910 Choultsé embarked on an Arctic painting trip with Kryzhitsky. They visited the north of Norway and island of Spitzbergen. From that trip Choultsé produced a number of glorious paintings of the arctic landscape. In 1910 and 1911 Choultsé lost two of his most influential mentors, Kuindzhi in July 1910 and fifty-two year old Kryzhitsky who committed suicide in April 1911. Following the untimely death of Konstantin Kryzhitsky, Choultsé had his works shown at exhibitions which had been arranged by the society created by Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, also a student of Konstantin Kryzhitsly, in his name. Choultsé frequently participated in its exhibitions that took place in the Grand Duchess' palace on Sergeevskaya street in St Petersburg.
Silver Frost, Engadine, by Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé
Cholutsé reputation as a painter grew as did the sale of his work which was confirmed by the fact that the brother of Tsar Nicholas II, Mikhail Alexandrovich, regularly commissioned his works. In 1917 the Russian Revolution took place and for Choultsé he had to make an important decision. He was an academic painter and a supporter of the Academy system which meant staying in Russia under the new regime which was probably fraught with difficulty and so in 1917 he set off on a two-year trip of Europe. For those two years Choultsé was able to see and depict on canvas the beautiful landscapes of the mountainous regions of Northern Italy, Switzerland and Southern France where he painted the Mediterranean landscapes.
Vers Le Soir, Engadine' by Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé
It could well have been the snowy Swiss landscape that brought back memories of his homeland or it could have been because he was mesmerised by the panoramic views of the likes of the long high Alpine valley region of Engadine and St. Moritz, but whatever it was, it profoundly affected Choultsé.
November by Ivan Choultsé
Choultsé finally settled back in Russia in 1921 as he still held out hope that he could remain a professional artist in his homeland under the new Soviet regime. He joined the Society of Individualist Artists in St. Petersburg and took part in the society's first two exhibitions that year. After a while he lost hope that everything would be the same as it was in the pre-Revolution days and finally took the decision to leave his country of birth and go to Paris. He settled in the French capital in an apartment on the Boulevard Pereire, close to the Porte Maillot and it was here that the second stage of his career as a Russian immigrant began.
A Storm on the Horizon by Ivan Choultse (c.1926)
Choultsé artistic breakthrough in Paris came with his first solo exhibition of his work on November 23rd 1922, at the Galleries Gérard Frères. All fifty of his works were sold on the opening day of the show. This was extraordinary as the artistic environment of Paris was one of an over-abundance with all sorts of artistic offerings and gallery presentations. However, his success was indicative of the artist's amazing talent. He became inundated with painting commissions and often did not have enough time to fulfil all the assignments.
St. Moritz by Ivan Choultsé
There is no doubt that Choultsé was influenced by the the snowy Swiss landscape which probably reminded him of his native Russia. He said that he had fallen in love with the immense vistas of Engadine and St. Moritz. He was deeply moved by what he saw there and would concentrate on studying the effects of light on nature and by doing this created his best-known themes of beautiful snow-filled landscapes. In 1923, Ivan Fedorovich's Choultsé's paintings were exhibited in the Paris Spring Salon. His works were an amazing success with the public and the art critics alike and he was touted as the most admired artists of the Salon. With all success, there is an element of luck and Choultsé's good fortune emanated from having contacts with good art dealers and owners of art galleries. He was represented by the gallery of Leon Gerard, which not only successfully sold his works of art but also regularly arranged his personal exhibitions. In 1927, Choultsé received his French citizenship.
Sailing boat at sunset on the gulf of Finland by Ivan Choultsé (1916)
Success in Europe was soon followed by success in America. In 1928, Choultsé met Eduard Jonas, who took most of Choultsé's works to America. Jonas was a prominent figure in French and international art market, owner of exhibition halls and galleries both in Paris and New York, and also offered an exclusive plan of exposing Choultsé's works in the States. Choultsé was delighted with the opening up of the American market. In a letter to his daughter, he wrote:
"…"I met a very interesting dealer. And how good it is that now, sitting in Paris, I can sell my work for dollars!…"
A contemporary of Choultsé, the Russian writer and critic, Nikolai Breshko-Breshkovsky wrote about the artist's newly found fame and fortune in America:
"…In America, Choultsé's snow and sun paintings are highly esteemed and worth of great price…".

Although based in Paris, Choultsé regularly travelled to the Mediterranean and enjoyed painting many summer landscapes around the Côte d'Azur .

He also completed many paintings depicting scenes around the Italian coast.
In 1933 Choultsé moved his permanent residence to Nice. One of the last exhibitions of his work was in March 1936 held at the Breton Castle on rue Saint Antoine in Nice. Ivan Fedorovich Choultsé died in 1939, aged 64 and was buried in the Cimetière Caucade in Nice,
Quiet Mediterranean Evening by Ivan Choultsé
The Toronto dealer, G.Blair Laing, wrote in his 1979 book, Memoirs of an Art Dealer that Choultsé "painted spectacular snow scenes in which light seems to come from behind the canvas and glow"
In 1935 the New York Hammer Galleries held a jubilee exhibition entitled '150 Years of Russian Painting' and described Choultsé's reputation as "beloved among American collectors as a great master of snowy landscapes gilded by slanted sunbeams".
For all my readers who celebrate this festive period may I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Westside Eldos Soweto Urban caught up with Kgopotso Mmutlane, known as DJ Coach Tsekeleke, at his house in Joburg last week.
Born in Motodi village not far from Burgersfort Town, Limpopo province, he is the founder and CEO of the colourfully named business Forex Broker Killer Institution. He describes himself as an author, serial entrepreneur, forex trader, philanthropist and one of South African's youngest self-made millionaires.
"I was born in a poor family. I grew up in a very warm Christian family where we were all staying in a small shack with both parents. We never slept hungry, as my father would provide, but growing up living in a shack while others had beautiful homes pushed me over the edge and brought a burning desire for success in my heart," he said.

DJ Coach Tsekeleke said he always wanted to be a professional DJ, but his parents were against it as they believed it was the devil's playground: he would be going to clubs, and perhaps even get stabbed and killed.
However, he would go out to DJ without his parents' permission and, as the street enjoyed his plays, they gave him the name "DJ Coach Tsekeleke".
The forex trader may be young, but his knowledge, ambition and faith are what make him stand out, he says. His interest in forex began when he heard about it from a childhood friend while in Leolo High School.
"Merika Mphogo introduced me to forex trading in April 2016. I then did my own research and found out I could make a lot of money as I was motivated by Sandton 'boys' who would sell us dreams that you will be rich quick; you will make lots of money quick, which is not entirely true," said the DJ.
"These things take time. I lost my 'school fees money', amounting to R15 000, thinking I was going to be a millionaire in a week; the people I used to follow made it look like it was that easy. Truth be told, it's not. You can only be successful if you invest in the right knowledge and having a successful mentor," he added.
After a while of trading, he went on to found the Forex Broker Killer Institution. He founded the so-called one-minute strategy and its modifications.
The foreign exchange financial market is the largest in the world, with more than $6.5 trillion in trade. It is known for its high-risk nature, and high capital requirements. This is why it is mostly traded by banks and large corporates. However, DJ Coach Tsekeleke claims to have simplified it for himself and made it more affordable by giving free seminars and affordable classes.
"Forex is 90% risk; you will lose all your money sooner or later, as the broker already knows how to play with your emotions. If you choose fundamental analysis, you fall within the 5% of the total winning side in the forex market. It all depends on the decision you take. Always remember, any mentor who has a relationship with any forex broker is a sellout! Truth be told," said the DJ.
"We have real forex traders and we have Instagram traders. There is a huge difference between the two. Forex traders teach beginners the reality of forex, which is identifying the real enemy (forex brokers), and you will understand how the market operates, while Instagram traders always take you to certain brokers with weird links.


Above: You can now play the entire Mass Effect trilogy on the Xbox One.
The Xbox One can now play every game in the sci-fi series that helped define the last generation of consoles.
Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 all now work on Xbox One thanks to that system's backward compatibility with the Xbox 360. This means you can play through the adventures of Commander Shepard as long as you own the disc or downloadable copies of the Mass Effect games. The trilogy is also available in the EA Access Vault, which is a collection of games that anyone who subscribes to EA's premium service for $5 per month or $30 per year gets access to for as long as they maintain their membership. To get the games on Xbox One, you'll have to search for them in the Xbox Store. If you already own them or have EA Access, you should have the option to Install. They do not appear in the EA Access app on Microsoft's console.
All three games are sprawling, space-traveling role-playing adventures from publisher Electronic Arts and developer BioWare. They tell the story of the humans of Earth interacting with advanced alien races throughout the galaxy while giving players some freedom to shape their Shepard however they like. And now, you can enjoy the games without having to bust out your Xbox 360.
It is, of course, not a coincidence that the Mass Effect series came to the Xbox One on November 7. Today is what EA and BioWare call "N7" day, a celebration of Mass Effect that takes its name from the N7 special-forces designation that Commander Shepard earned before starring in the first Mass Effect game.

Knocking heavy-duty demolition down to size
Volvo Construction Equipment's latest demolition machine is proudly sticking its neck out on a large-scale project in the Netherlands.
For the small Dutch town of Zwolle, things are looking up, and so too are its residents. Locals, walking or cycling around the small town, will often stop and gaze upwards in amazement. Towering above them, a long, steel neck of a monstrous Volvo EC480EHR high-reach excavator appears alarmingly lifelike as it chomps away at the masonry of what was once part of Weezenlanden Hospital.
Dozens of passers-by gather to watch in fascination from behind the protective safety barrier of the demolition site. Where the brickwork is particularly tough, the crusher head chews and gnaws harder, causing a large chunk of wall to crumble to the ground, revealing the interior stairwell of the hospital.
"This is precision demolition," observes Erik Zwerver, commercial manager of Boverhoff, one of the largest demolition companies in the country. "Everyone thinks demolition is dirty and rough, but it's like building backward – you have to be very precise."
Indeed, a project of this scale requires the utmost precision, carried out by a skilled operator. Aalt Witman laughs as he describes the butterflies he felt in his stomach as he prepared to start up the Volvo EC480EHR high-reach excavator for the first time.
"It was a real challenge," he says. "The first time you look up into the clouds is awe-inspiring. You get a real flutter in your stomach – it gives you such a kick."
The Dutchman might have 23 years of experience as an operator, but the boom he is more familiar with is just 11 m (36 ft) long, not 28 m (92 ft) like this one. Yet, after just a couple of days in the cab, Witman is confidently tearing down the 1960s building.
Definition of demolition
In place of the crumbling hospital, nearly 300 new homes will be built, making this demolition project not only one of the biggest in the Netherlands, but also the first to use Volvo CE's new E-Series ultra-high-reach excavator.
According to Zwerver, the Volvo EC480EHR's specifications make it ideal for this type of project. The height of the machine enables it to dismantle the hospital buildings brick by brick, and with the upcoming delivery of a multi-demolition extension boom, the working height will further increase to 31 m (102 ft).
For Witman, the top priority is staying safe and, as he puts it, returning home every night to have dinner with his family, which he says his new machine helps him to do. From inside the Volvo cab, Witman particularly likes the high-visibility, as well as the extra cameras. The 30 degree tilt of the cab makes looking upwards more comfortable, and the on-board eight inch monitor enables good communication between machine and operator. Another great feature, says Zwerver, is the total moment indicator, which flashes a warning if the machine is in danger of destabilizing.
For Boverhoff, the key selling features of the EC480EHR were not just the towering height and heavy tool weight (3.5 tonnes), but also the fact that the machine was purpose-built by Volvo CE for ease of transport. The new electro-hydraulic system, with retractable undercarriage and hydraulically removable counterweight, contribute to easy road transportation, features of particular value to the company, which often operates in urban areas.
Beyond sky-high productivity, safety and operator comfort, there were also environmental impacts for Boverhoff to consider. Before work could begin, the company had to rehome a colony of 5,000 bats that had occupied the empty hospital buildings. Additionally, because of the close proximity of the hospital to the town center and the local community, the demolition work has to be carried out with minimal dust, noise and vibrations.
Above all, it's the performance of the Volvo EC480EHR high-reach excavator that is most notable to Boverhoff. The company owns more than 20 crawler excavators in the 30 tonne class and higher, with more than half comprising of Volvo machines, including wheel loaders and excavators. All Volvo machines were supplied by the Volvo CE dealership, Kuiken, which has recently provided Boverhoff with its latest purchase, the EC380E excavator.
Duco Pater, regional sales manager of Kuiken, has come to Zwolle to witness the Volvo EC480EHR in action. Its jaws clamp onto the edge of a hospital window and pull down more brickwork with remarkable precision. Noting Zwerver's steadiness, Pater marvels: "This guy knows what he's doing."
