What is private equity?
Long term investment in private companies, where the investor provides capital and becomes a shareholder in the company in return for the money put in. As an asset class, private equity has existed since the 1980s and is now an important feature of most established market economies. It is also playing an increasingly important role in many rapidly developing economies.
How does private equity differ from venture capital?
Industry terminology varies, but it is a widely accepted norm that the term 'private equity' refers to later-stage investments in already established businesses. These later-stage investments are sometimes generalized as 'buyouts'. 'Venture capital' typically refers to earlier-stage investments in companies that require either start-up or expansion capital. Advent International focuses on mid-sized company buyouts of €200 million to €1 billion and does not make venture capital investments.
How does private equity differ from other forms of financing, such as bank debt, hedge funds or becoming publicly listed?
Private equity takes a long-term shareholding in a business with the explicit objective of significantly enhancing its value within a 3-5 year time frame. It also plays an active role in the management and development of the company during that time.
It differs in two main ways from other forms of financing:
Financing terms:
Private equity firms purchase equity or shares in a business, sharing both the risks and rewards over the long term. Because a private equity firm typically invests in a business for 3-5 years, they take a longer-term view on value creation. Large scale operational expenditure is precisely the type of cost which private equity investors routinely commit to when backing a company, enabling the business to achieve clearly defined growth targets.
Debt financing, typically from a bank, is a loan which has to be repaid. A publicly-listed company raises capital from a public investor base which has a much shorter-term view on financial returns. Public markets like predictability of earnings and are less sympathetic to large-scale operational expenditure which, although in the longer-term interest of the business, might depress short-term earnings.
A hedge fund is similar to private equity in that it typically raises funds from sophisticated, professional investors. But this is where the similarity ends. Hedge funds are primarily interested in liquidity and therefore have a short-term timeframe on seeking returns from an investment. For this reason, hedge funds generally only invest in publicly-traded companies, typically taking a minority stake. They do not play an active role in the management or development of companies.
Active ownership: Unlike banks, hedge funds or public shareholders, private equity investors play an active role in the management and development of the companies they own. Typical activities include: enabling a growth strategy; professionalizing a company; offering on-going support to the management on strategic and policy matters; representing a broader perspective on corporate development; providing management expertise and acting as a sounding board for management ideas; facilitating networking opportunities/industry connections; financing, targeting and assistance with mergers and acquisitions.
Where do private equity houses get their money from to buy companies?
Private equity houses deal almost exclusively with sophisticated, professional investors such as private and public pension funds, insurers, charities, universities, private, high-net-worth family offices and other informed investors.
Investors regard private equity as an asset class from which they can generate a return on their capital. Other asset classes in which investors might typically invest are quoted markets, government bonds.
As a business owner, why should I consider using private equity?
For owners or founder shareholders who have an interest in seeing the continued growth of their business as an independent entity private equity presents a good solution. Many owners are also attracted by the fact that a private equity investor is an experienced, like-minded shareholder who is committed to taking a business to the next level. Many owners also like to consider the future interests of their management team, whose members will have made a significant contribution to the successful development of the business. Private equity firms typically incentivise existing management teams when they acquire a business, enabling them to participate in its continued success.
Does Advent typically take a minority or majority ownership position in companies?
Advent most commonly takes a majority shareholding in a company but will also consider minority shareholdings where we are working with like-minded shareholders.
Does the seller typically retain any ownership in the company after Advent invests?
In most cases, private sellers retain a shareholding in the business. Corporate sellers typically don't.
What happens to the management teams of companies in which Advent invests?
Our philosophy is one of backing management teams. In most cases, the original management team, or core members of the team, will stay with the business. However, given that our portfolio companies are often striving to meet ambitious growth targets, we do sometimes have the requirement for additional, complementary management expertise. This can be introduced in a variety of ways, including executive and non-executive appointments and through the involvement of specialist industry advisers from our Operating Partner program.
Can the management team invest in the company alongside Advent or, if they already own an equity interest, retain partial ownership?
Yes. It is Advent's philosophy to align management team interests with ours, hence we like to be able to offer equity participation to management teams.
Does Advent use external debt as well as equity to finance its investments?
Yes, we do use third party debt financing as well as equity to finance our investments. This is typical industry practice. However, we take a very prudent approach to the use of debt.
How does the investment decision making process work at Advent?
All stages of the investment decision-making process are conducted in the strictest confidence and with appropriate sensitivity and discretion.
The process begins with the initial screening of an opportunity. In the business plan, we like to see a description of the market opportunity, what differentiates the product or service being offered, the historical and projected financial statements for the business (including capital structure), management qualifications, marketing and sales strategy, and the expected use of financing proceeds. It is very helpful when all this information is in a business plan but it may well be that the business plan is developed in parallel to our discussions.
After the initial review, the next step involves meetings with your company's management, enabling us to get to know each other and discuss the business in greater depth.
The decision to invest is made by a regional investment committee. Having made over 500 investments, we are very experienced at executing transactions quickly and efficiently, and this is always our aim.
What's it like to work with Advent? How much involvement will you have with the business?
We are an involved investor who likes to establish a collaborative partnership with management teams. We will sit on the board of the business and have a close involvement with overseeing strategy. We also play close attention to financial reporting. We do not, however, get involved in the day-to-day operations of the business, which is the core expertise of the management team.
How does Advent help to develop companies?
Advent helps develop companies in multiple ways. Firstly, we commit capital. Secondly, we bring to bear our in-depth sector knowledge and often first-hand experience of working with companies in similar situations. Through our extensive international industry networks we are also able to offer our companies access to market intelligence, industry experts and general contacts that might otherwise be difficult to access. We also offer direct support and advice on activities such as mergers and acquisitions.
What advantages does Advent have over other private equity firms?
Partnership with Advent gives companies not only access to capital, but the collective experience, resources and networks of one of the world's longest established, respected and most international private equity firms.
How long does Advent remain an investor in a company?
This is dependent on the development of the company concerned, but our typical investment period is between 3-5 years.
How does Advent exit its investment?
The exit decision is taken in conjunction with the company's management team, board and other shareholders. Which route is chosen is determined by the individual and market circumstance of the company involved. The most common exit routes are through a trade sale or IPO. In some circumstances, the business might be acquired by another private equity firm.

Being a mom is one of the most fulfilling roles in a woman's life. But when she and her partner have trouble conceiving or carrying a new life to term, she may wonder if – or when – she'll get to experience the joy of cuddling her very own child.
We all know women who, for one reason or another, are burdened with fertility issues. Some of the stories are just heartbreaking. You wish more than anything that with a hug and a smile you could make these women's dreams come true.
But we know it takes more than just empathy. Expertise also can help—and that's why we held "Fertility Boot Camp: Whip Your EGGS Into Shape!" in late January. This one-day retreat at the Tiffani Kim Institute Medical Spa is designed for a relatively small group of women, one that will bond over the hours and learn to both calm their minds and open their hearts. During this holistic retreat, they learn what they need to know – and do – in order to raise their reproductive capacity and the possibility of getting pregnant and carrying to term.
Fertility issues aren't just medical or physical. They also impact a woman's (and her partner's) emotional and spiritual well-being, and Fertility Boot Camp approaches reproductive issues by addressing everything from nutrition to exercise and fitness to endocrinology. The more women know, the better able they are to face the challenges that come from trying to conceive and start families.
The Saturday session offers women information all about acupuncture from Jeanie Lee Bussell, L.Ac. Dipl. OM., MSOM, one of TKI's amazing staff acupuncturists and one of the Midwest's top specialists in the treatment of infertility. With the most amazing gentle manner, she's also the co-author of Fully Fertile: 12-Week Holistic Plan for Optimal Fertility. Also sharing her expertise at Boot Camp is Caroline Jung, L.Ac,. MSOM, another board-certified acupuncturist at TKI.
Nutritional well-being is a key component when women want to conceive, so nutritionist Clare Sente, MS, R.D., and Chef Jill Souk teach women about 'healing foods,' those that not only will make their bodies healthier but that will boost female fertility but ALSO contribute to the sperm health of their partners! The Boot Camp features a 'fertility-friendly,' anti-inflammatory lunch of wheat-free, sugar free and gluten free fare designed to enhance fertile capacity.
Susan Lipshutz, LCSW, addresses things from an integrative psychotherapy perspective. I love that she's not only trained in Western medicine but adds elements of cross-cultural spiritual practices to help women empower and love themselves during this trying time.
During the eight-and-a-half hour session, we als incorporate yoga and meditation and other activities designed to ready these women's bodies, minds and spirits for optimal fertility.
And things get sexy around lunchtime when we bring in certified personal trainer and fitness instructor Jen Dixon to help women get in touch with their sensual sides through movement. She explains how exercise really can be part of a fertility-enhancing routine, and introduces the ladies to hip-shaking salsa and meringue, as well as sensual belly dance moves that awaken us all to the wonder of femininity and womanhood.
If this sounds like fun, it is. Really, Fertility Boot Camp"is all about nurturing and honoring the woman—not as a baby-maker, but as a wonderful human being who wants to share her love. We'll be hosting an encore presentation again soon, and hope you'll consider coming or sharing news about it with fertility-challenged women you know.

How NOT to Design for Manufacture
There are many articles, and blogs, out there telling you everything you need to do to be a great designer. I have come to the conclusion that these are either incomplete, inadequate to solve the problems of design, or they are not reaching the legion of designers and draftspersons who cannot read. Therefore I have put together this blog series to explain how NOT to design. Hopefully, through its subtle humor, it will be able to reach the hopelessly backwards. Don't be offended by the label, if you are hopelessly backward in all likelihood you don't know that you are. If you at any point find yourself getting huffy puffy about a particular portion of this series don't worry, there's hope for you yet and you are merely backwards.
Manufacturing Processes
- Do not learn anything about how mills, lathes, presses, or any of that other stuff works. You'll never be running one so it doesn't affect how you do your job.
- Similarly don't bother learning about those coatings you've been applying by rote, I mean how thick could they be anyway.
- Never worry about inspection when dimensioning. Inspection isn't very hard now that we have CMMs, they'll figure out how to measure it.
- GD&T is for designers who wish they were engineers. Even so, it can also be used in an obscure fashion to conceal your lack of GD&T knowledge and make you seem superior to your peers.
- When it comes to tolerancing, tighter is always better. If they can't make it we need a new machine shop.
- Nonconformance in production means the machinist is dim, or lazy, or both. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with you or your design.
- Always deny manufacturing changes, after all what do they know about making this stuff.
- If they are very persistent, immediately give them what they want so they will shut up.
- Supply chain is the technical expert to handle all aspects of the manufacturing of your part. They attend omnipotence classes and should be worshipped.
- Consulting manufacturing in the early phases of a job is just a waste of time.
- Switching vendors constantly on the basis of price is the key to reliability and repeatability.
- If you can model it they can build it.
- The shop doesn't need to make money on this part; they're getting you everywhere else anyway. This also goes for everywhere else.
- Assembly is not an option.
- Disassembly is unnecessary. You designed it perfectly, remember?
- If you can reach the groove, the O-ring will fit easily.
- What's a little interference between friends?
- Contrary to popular belief gun drilled holes can be held to tolerances of up to six decimal places over a twenty foot length. It's cheap too!
- The best way to apply manufacturing datums is at random. It keeps those guys on their toes.
- It is best to create 20 page manufacturing drawings for the simpletons in manufacturing. It isn't confusing at all.
- Never go out into the shop and assemble your tools, you might get dirty. Besides what could you learn from grease anyway?
- If it doesn't fit, you need a bigger hammer. (Author's Note: Before the nasty-grams come rolling in I will admit sometimes you do need a bigger hammer. More often than not, however, you are just a dummy.)
Now you know how NOT to apply DFM to your tools. I know we already had a ton of knowledge in how not to do this, but I hope this encourages us to stay away from some of the more egregious of these failures. Please post your own how NOT to DFM suggestions here as well.

Nice color
Its an ok vest I ordered it online in a medium I guess I should have gotten a small. It runs kinda big!!!! A very versatile piece can wear it day or night. Just didn't have the same look it gave online!!!!
August 19, 2013
Runs large
I love the fabric, the style and the color, but have to send it back since it runs a little large. Sad..
April 24, 2013
Cuter in person than online!
I scrolled right past this vest when I saw it online and really never imagined that I would give it a second look, but I saw it in a Bebe store and really liked it.
The picture doesn't really do it any justice. I tried it on with a statement necklace and chunky bracelets with blue jeans and it looked really cute. What the description doesn't mention, but that you can kind of see in the picture, is that near the waist area there is a toggle on each side that allows you to taper the vest in to your liking to make it more form fitting if you like. I used the toggles to taper the fit in while keeping the vest open/unzipped. Without the tapering, I thought the vest was cute, but once tapered I thought it looked very sexy.
It is also really comfortable and the material is really soft. I purchased the vest one size down from the size I typically wear in Bebe button down blouses for a better fit out of the two sizes.

Behind the scenes: Working as an animator for Head Squeeze
Behind the scenes: Working as an animator for Head Squeeze
Sree Kadalayil is a Belfast-based 2D character animator. After completing his Masters in Animation from Norwich in 2005, he has been working in the UK as a freelance animator/designer on projects such as James May's Things You Need to Know Series 2, Yahoo! Finance and 360 Production's YouTube channel "Head Squeeze".
He has answered a few questions on what it is like to be an animator for the Head Squeeze channel.
Is making graphics for Head Squeeze similar to making CGI for Hollywood movies?
Sree: Pretty much, well minus the flying spaceships, giant robots, evil monsters and massive explosions! Hollywood CGI happens on a much larger scale whereas we work on a shorter timescale with a smaller team to produce equally appealing content.
At the start of each new episode, we're given the edited footage and a transcript for that clip. The team then sits and watches the clip, marking the bits that can be illustrated using a humorous animated graphic. We then have a quick brainstorming session where we come up with ideas to animate these sections in a way that they are visual and humorous, while still retaining their general essence. We each then take a GFX (a cooler abbreviation for graphics) to animate, find the appropriate images and animate away!
Where do you find inspiration/funny pictures?
Sree: A lot of my inspiration comes from old school animation – Hanna Barbera, Looney Toons, Disney, the great ones! The most important thing in animation is timing and those guys have pretty much nailed it!
Do you need to be a good artist to be a good animator?
Sree: It's not a deal breaker, but it sure helps if you know how to work a 2B on an A4. There are times when ideas need to be communicated to other members of the team using storyboards and a quick sketch works a whole lot better than hundred words.
How long do the graphics take to make per Head Squeeze episode?
Sree: Since every strand on Head Squeeze requires a quick turnaround, we take around 2-3 days on the GFX for each episode. The process starts with a quick storyboarding session where visual ideas are sketched out roughly to depict an action or a scene. These sketches are then scanned onto the computer where they are arranged on a timeline corresponding to either a voice, or a sound track, so that we can get the motion timing right on the graphics. Different production houses use different software, but the one we use predominantly is Adobe AfterEffects, as well as animation, this software is also used for editing and post production. Other packages such as 3D Studio and Adobe Photoshop are also used in this process.
Do you need to study to be an animator?
Sree: That has always been a tricky question to answer. I have worked with brilliantly talented people, some of whom have postgrad degrees in Art, while others have never even crossed the threshold of an Art School. Personally, I believe animation is a form of art and just like painting, or ballet skills, it is a talent that you are born with. An education polishes these skills by the introduction of techniques new and old, the science, the history, and a library of knowledge compiled by the experiences of others.
Do you have a favourite Head Squeeze video?
Sree: Ah that's a tough one! I really enjoy Live Experiments and have even tried a few myself. I find NumberHub fascinating, and so is SciGuide. And then, there's the obvious dry wit and charm of James May & Greg Foot. Now if I absolutely have to pick one, it would be "James May's Q&A – How does the internet work?" Belonging to a generation that spends most of its waking hours in front of a screen, I feel we all share the common annoyance towards the "loading…" icon that pops up almost all the time!

The Vutec Corp. Lectric I-RR (self-supported surface) and Lectric III-RR (tab-tensioned surface) reverse-roll front-deployment screens are designed for applications where obstructions near the screen-mounting surface exist (such as a flatpanel TV). Screen sizes range from 72in. to 180in. (measured diagonally) in 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, and 2.35:1 formats. Five screen surfaces with gains ranging from .85 to 1.3 are available.

1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
5 unpeeled potatoes, diced
2 carrots, diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams with juice
2 (1.8 ounce) packages dry leek soup mix
1 quart half-and-half
This is beyond awesome. I didn't have clam juice as Cindy recommended to cook the potatoes in, but I did have chicken broth. I had about four large celery ribs that needed to be used, so I just chopped it up along with the carrots and threw them in the bacon fat with the potatoes. (I had to add just a little more previously reserved bacon fat to the pan, only because there was more veg. I know I'm not the only one who saves bacon fat in the fridge!) I followed the recipe exact. I'm the only one who loves clam chowder in this house, which is fine with me. I'm NOT SHARING. I ate two bowls with homemade ranch oyster crackers. I feel better already! NOTE: Next time, I'll be sure to cook the potatoes with the clam juice. Good tip.
Where was the clam taste???? The soup was decent for a cream of potato soup but I have another great recipe for that! Very disappointing. I followed the exact recipe and thought I must have done something wrong but I didn't...

Yummm, I love this! Instead of cooking the potatoes in the water I use 2 bottles of clam juice. Makes it more clammy. I had submitted this about 7 years ago and I've changed it a bit since then. Still using the Knoor Brand Leek Soup mix.
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! Here's why: First, it's SUPER easy to put together. Second, it's MUCH less expensive than buying the *gasp!* canned stuff. And third, EVEN I LIKED IT!! I should mention that I really don't like clam chowder at all, but of course the only stuff I've ever tasted was the canned stuff *gasp again!* My kids love clam chowder and fight each other for it if there's not enough to share, so I made this for them. As recommended, I used two bottles of clam juice instead of water to boil the potatoes and carrots in. I had promised the recipe's author on the Recipe Exchange that I would at least TASTE the soup and boy am I glad I did!! The kids almost had to fight ME for this. We'll definitely be having this soup again many, many times. Thanks for making me a clam chowder lover, Cindy!!
I Love this recipe, but I hate when people make changes to it then Post that. If you have ideas why don't you create your own recipe and post that. Don't screw with someone else's creation. How rude
This is a savoury chowder. I followed the directions exactly as written by Cindy. (I did buy minced clams by mistake but I actually like the smaller pieces).Even if you do not like clam chowder I think you would like this one, it does not taste clamy at all. I made it in the morning, planning on reheating it for dinner in a double boiler but it was so flavoursome I ended up eating a bowl for breakfast. Served with oyster crackers one night and Cheddar Bay Biscuits the next night. Will with out a doubt be making this all winter long. Awesome recipe Cindy, thank you
This chowder definitely lives up to it's name! It is not too milky, or too clammy, it's just right! Very hearty and easy soup to make. I used chicken broth in place of water to cover my potatoes, may try using extra clam juice next time. I also added in an onion with the potato and carrot, just because I had one and I felt like it should be in there . I did only use one package of the leek soup mix merely because I am a dork and only grabbed one at the store. I think one did the soup just fine though : ) Served it up in some sourdough breadbowls (wish I could have made those too!) and it was to die for! My man couldn't stop saying how good it was, best we've ever had. Thanks for the awesome recipe Cindy!
Very easy and very tasty! I followed the recipe as written, using fat free half and half. I did add about a teaspoon of thyme because I think it adds a richness to the clam flavor. I served this with homemade Caraway Rye from this site and a green salad. Turned a gloomy wet day right around. Thanks Cindy, this is a keeper.

South Park: The Stick of Truth's censorship "does feel like a double standard"
Co-creator Matt Stone of South Park has called the brief censorship in The Stick of Truth as something of a "double standard," and remarks a TV episode with the same content will have unlikely been cut.
It's "not that big a deal," as what does get cut is very little. They did want to make a joke out of it being cut though, "that was fine." Stone is happy an uncut version exists.
South Park RPG delays in Germany and Austria over "unconstitutional symbol"

**I love Otter products!
Just my take on it.
Just like the Off/On switch, the ringer switch, the charging port...the access is there but yet protecting your phone. I believe it's done that way to keep moisture from getting in...Cause all you have to do is pop up the flap and insert your plug...this answer may be wrong, but makes sense to me ;-)
