Home > Press > New Report Showcases 50 Most Promising Nordic Cleantech Companies
Uncertain financial climate a concern but not a barrier to innovation in the region, applicants say
The Cleantech Group(TM), LLC, founders of the cleantech sector and providers of leading global market research and financial services for the cleantech ecosystem, in partnership with Cleantech Scandinavia, the leading Nordic network of investors in cleantech, today released a first ever report identifying 50 leading cleantech companies in the Nordic market. The report, sponsored by leading Nordic VC firms BankInvest, Energy Capital Management, Eqvitec Partners, Northzone Ventures, and Sustainable Technologies Fund, identifies key representatives of Nordic excellence in Cleantech innovation, as well as outlining the driving sectors and key concerns facing this emerging region. The full publication can be downloaded from Cleantech Group's and Cleantech Scandinavia's websites free of charge.
Despite challenging economic conditions and inevitable market pullback, the companies selected as the 50 for this inaugural report demonstrated the potential and likelihood to achieve high growth and high market impact. Selected from 145 nominations, the final 50 companies were chosen from a range of seed/pre-revenue and growth companies from all Nordic countries, representing all cleantech segments.
The applicants all indicated a definite optimism for the future of the cleantech industry in the Nordic region with the relative immaturity of the market viewed as an opportunity to speed its development and capitalize on the number of start-up and growth companies. There is, however, a note of caution expressed over the relative high risk of investing in new businesses in such an uncertain market. However, whilst this was a concern for companies, it was not seen as the number one barrier that needed to be overcome in order to achieve success in this market. Indeed the majority of applicants highlighted operational excellence, personnel competence, strategic planning and customer relations as the steps most necessary to develop their market.
"Whilst the current economic climate has given rise to some valid concerns over the potential for investment into cleantech, there are promising signs that this relatively inexperienced market will flourish in the years to come," said Magnus Agerstrom, Cleantech Scandinavia. "The companies taking part in this year's report all demonstrate commitment to placing the Nordics at the forefront of innovation in the cleantech sector."
Geographic breakdown
From the applications received, nearly half came from Sweden (48%), with Denmark, Norway and Finland generating close to a fifth each (19%, 17% and 14% respectively). Iceland had the smallest proportion of entries, coming in at just 1%.
Sector breakdown - energy the bright light of the Nordics
The majority of applications (60%) came from energy related sectors. Other well represented categories included water purification and wastewater treatment, air purification and emission control technologies, as well as advanced materials such as bioplastics, biodegradable fibers and various nanotech-based materials.
"The findings of this report are certainly encouraging," said Richard Youngman, MD, Cleantech Group, Europe. "The UK and Germany have to date been the most significant areas for Cleantech venture activity in Europe, but the Nordic countries, where sustainability, resource efficiency and environmental consciousness have been part of normal culture for much longer than most places in the world, show great promise to play a strong role in the future."
Nordic Cleantech 50 entry criteria:
To qualify for consideration, a candidate cleantech company must have been unlisted and from the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden). To build the final list of 50, companies were evaluated for their potential and likelihood to achieve high-growth and high market impact, using the following main criteria:
* Innovation: Problem it solves; Uniqueness; Sustainability of the advantage; etc. * Market: Accessibility; Size; Growth dynamics, Accessibility / barriers to entry, etc. * Ability to Execute: Finances; Team competences; Connections and networks, etc.
The list below does not rank the 50, but lists them in alphabetical order and identifies their cleantech segment and growth stage.

Was a little skeptical because of some previous reviews but received the item within 5 days and at a fantastic price. Small issue with delivery options but was upgraded to express shipping for no charge. Live chat feature worked well for resolving any issues and very happy with price and service. No issue with customs or additional collections, perhaps I was lucky.
Good - live chat option, buying experience, price, price, PRICE!
Bad - .co.uk address but based in HK (no UK consumer rights)

On the third of Tammuz of the year 2488 from creation (1273 BCE), Joshua
was leading the Jewish people in one of the battles to conquer the Land of Israel. Victory was imminent, but darkness was about to fall. "Sun," proclaimed Joshua, "be still at Giv'on; moon, at the Ayalon valley" (Joshua 10:12). The heavenly bodies acquiesced, halting their progress through the sky until Israel's armies brought the battle to its successful conclusion.
Three Natural Miracles
The Book of Joshua
A great fire destroyed much of the town of Lubavitch, including the home of the third Chabad Rebbe,
Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (the "Tzemach Tzeddek", 1789-1866) and many invaluable manuscripts of Chassidic teaching.
The sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (1880-1950), who was arrested on
Sivan 15 of 1927 by agents of the GPU (soviet secret police) and the Yevsektzia ("Jewish section" of the Communist Party) for his work to preserve
and disseminate Jewish learning and observance throughout the Soviet Empire. Held in the notorious Spalerno prison in Leningrad, he was repeatedly interrogated and beaten. Initially sentenced to death, international pressure compelled the Soviet regime to first commute the sentence to ten years hard labor in Siberia, and then to a three-year term of exile in Kostrama, a town in the interior of Russia.
On the 3rd of Tammuz, 18 days after his arrest, he was released from prison and allowed six hours at home before reporting to the Leningrad train station to embark on his exile. Many gathered at the station to see him off. Though he knew that there were GPU agents present, he spoke to the assembled crowd,
encouraging all to persist in the very activities for which he had been arrested. "This," he proclaimed "all the nations of the world must know: Only our bodies were sent into exile and subjugated to alien rule; our souls were not given over into
captivity and foreign rule. We must proclaim openly and before all that any matter affecting the Jewish religion, Torah, and its mitzvot and customs is not subject to
the coercion of others. No one can impose his belief upon us, nor coerce us to conduct ourselves contrary to our beliefs!"
(On the 12th of Tammuz, after serving only nine days of his three year term,
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak was informed that he was free to return home. Shortly thereafter, he was allowed to leave the Soviet Union and resettled in Riga, Latvia.)
Days of Light (the Rebbe's prison diary)
Three Natural Miracles
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory (b. 1902) passed away in the early morning hours of the 3rd of Tammuz, of the year 5754 from creation (1994). See today's Laws & Customs.

A brief biography of the Rebbe
Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidim observe the customs of the yahrtzeit (anniversary of the passing) in accordance with the customs instituted by the Rebbe for the yahrtzeit of his father-in-law and predecessor, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (1880-1950), following his passing on the 10th of Shevat in 1950.
A Letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe outlining his suggested observances for Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak's first yahrtzeit.
More on Yahrtzeit
During the summer months, from the Shabbat after Passover until the Shabbat before Rosh Hashahah, we study a weekly chapter of the Talmud's Ethics of the Fathers ("Avot") each Shabbat afternoon; this week we study Chapter Four.
Link: Ethics of the Fathers, Chapter 4
The history of the Jewish people is not just one of rise and fall. It is a process, a purification, a sieve of many filters, a smelting furnace that refines the raw ore again and again until only the purest gold remains.
That is why today we are able to do a mitzvah today in a world so foreign to mitzvahs; to fill our lives with that which filled our great-grandparent's and raise children that way; to go against the stream of the culture around us and be the Jew inherent within.
It is not with our own power, or with our own minds. It is with a hidden memory, an indestructible force that survived as our heritage.

So, we have an indoor hockey team, and they set off fireworks indoors (not joking) every time they score. I couldn't resist combining that with a kiss cam story for a bit of fluff. I think we all need some fluff right now.

Notes: Excerpt from a WIP sequel where Derek backs off from intimacy after The Devil You Know.
Summary: Derek's surprise visits usually involve shaking Stiles down for research. Anything else is an afterthought (chain-yanking). Stiles is fed up with it. So when he finds Derek in his room again, he shows him the door. Or, rather, window. At least, that was the plan.

Warnings/Contains: college AU, Stiles has a non-traditional name, Derek & Laura are twins
Notes: My daughter will be going to college in the fall, and I work at one, and I have a lot of AU ideas so expect to see a few coming. I've had this head canon for a long time that maybe Stiles's name isn't unpronounceable; it's simply something very non-traditional. And of course, all the dangers of making assumption about gender based on a name! We've had a lot of prospective visits, and my daughter has been acquainted with the rules at different schools, and that sparked this story.
Summary: Derek's looking forward to a twin-free weekend while Laura entertains a prospective student. Then it turns out that Admissions saw a traditionally female name and ignored the ticky box that says "male", and now Derek's the one with the prospective in his room.

Warnings/Contains: creeptastic Kate, college AU, primal scream, asshole Jackson, pre-Jydia
Notes: This was originally written for prompt #166 - Scream at fullmoon_ficlet on Livejournal. When I was in college, every term, we had primal scream at 10pm during finals week. And I lived in Fox Hall, across the quad from Davison, and the first round of finals, my roommates and some boys in Davison started hurling insults during primal scream. And I really wanted to turn that into fic for this prompt. This is absolutely unbetaed, so sorry for any strange words or typos.
Summary: Derek hates primal scream. Sure, it's great a way to let out stress during finals, but someone always goes too far. On the other hand, if Jackson hadn't been an asshole, Derek might not have met Stiles.

Summary: When a coworker on the police force was murdered, Detective Derek Hale and his partner Stiles Stilinski were called onto the case. It seemed officer Jackson Whittemore had led a secret life that none of his colleagues had suspected or known about. When a connection was made to Derek's past with the grisly cosplay killings, Derek has to put the past to rest or lose his chance for a future with Stiles.

Summary: It's always gratifying to see that early mornings has Derek stumbling, that he won't quite open his eyes all the way. Sleepy Derek is usually an overly cuddly one, but you won't ever see Stiles complaining over that (cuddling is awesome and trumps everything on all the levels, seriously). The thing is, she's kind of stupidly in love with Derek exactly the way he is, so she thinks that's okay.
Or: the one that's mostly about love but also a little bit about love.

Pairing: Sterek
Summary: Derek's lost a part of himself. And he just doesn't mean the color of his eyes. He's lost the last speck of trust he had in this world and the people in it. He's lost any last hope that his life wouldn't always be consumed with the taste of ash on his tongue and the smell of blood in his clothes.
"I'm a coward? I'm here aren't I?" Derek snaps his jaws forward, towards Stiles.
"Give the werewolf a medal! He climbed through a fucking window." Stiles rolls his eyes, goes to turn away and then stops himself. "You know what? Fuck you. You are a coward. I practically threw myself at you-"
"That's what this is about? The kiss?" Derek scoffs.

"Derek," Laura started patiently. "You're out here on your own and we worry about you. Now you have someone to look out for you but we don't even know his name! We weren't sure if you were keeping secrets for a reason, if you were in trouble—"
"If you were lying," Cora interjected with a pointed look that made Derek want to shrink in on himself.
He heard the toilet flush and the washroom door slam shut and he winced because this was it, it was all over. Not only would his sisters find out that he didn't have a boyfriend but he was going to be totally humiliated in front of Stiles and he'd never hear the end of—
"Babe, you're running out of soap in there," Stiles announced as he breezed up to the counter casually. His gaze fell on Laura and Cora who were staring back at him in disbelief and he stopped short.

Warnings/Contains: post-Nogitsune, nightmares, bed sharing, masturbation (not together), Stiles is 17
Notes: This is my seventh (and um longest) fill for my prompts for my 1000 follower celebration on tumblr. This one is from asocialfauxpas: "Sterek - Post Nogitsune h/c where Stiles is still having nightmares and sleepwalking and Derek is the only one who seems to be able to comfort him. :) :) :) <3" Darlin', I hope you like where this one went. It got a bit angsty along the way to the resolution, and includes Stiles's angst over what he did as the Nogitsune. It got a bit away from me and broke my 1-5k per prompt plan. Whoops. NOTE: This fic contains mention of Allison's death, and details some of Stiles's angst & nightmares about what he did as the Nogitsune. Also, Stiles is seventeen, but the fic is not marked underage as there is no full sexual contact between Stiles and Derek.
Summary: Stiles wakes up in the bathtub. It's the third time sleepwalking this week, and at least this time he's in the house. Ever since the Nogitsune, he's had nightmares and nothing, and no one seems to be able to stop them. Until Derek.

Length: 4,322 words
Warnings/Contains: off-screen underage sex, accidental bonding, mates, embarrassing conversations about sex
Notes: This was originally written for Prompt #149 - Change at fullmoon_ficlet. It may be a miracle that this series is updating twice in two weeks! After all, it was a year between the first two updates, and two years before the third came out. BUT, here we go! There is no on-screen underage sex, but it is definitely discussed in some detail. This can be read on its own, or you can enjoy the rest of the series first. The series goes AU after season 2. The title is, of course, from a Melissa Etheridge song. And many thanks to Cecilia Tan and her Magic University books for the idea that there are many types of penetration when it comes to magic.
Summary: Stiles and Derek realize that their relationship changed when they weren't paying attention, and Deaton asks Stiles to explain the meaning of penetration.

Warnings/Contains: underage sexual activity (Stiles is 17), awkward advice, blow jobs, rimming, established relationship
Notes: This is my fifth and final fic for Blow Job Friday 2015. It is also an entry into a rarely updated series, but can easily be read without reading the others (just note that it is a series that went AU from canon after season 2). The title is obviously from a Melissa Etheridge song, just like the others in the series. Oh and believe it or not, I really do know where the series goes after this. I just need time. It's a common refrain. TIIIIIME. This is absolutely unbetaed, all errors are mine.
Summary: They've been dating for months and Stiles wants to move the relationship to the next level and he's pretty sure that Derek does too, except for some metaphysical bullshit and minor quibbles about age. Stiles goes to visit Deaton and comes away with a plan that should result in plenty of wonderful, fun options for Stiles and Derek.

"Yo," Scott said, eyes wide. "Was that Derek in your room?"
Stiles groaned and smacked his forehead, mostly because Scott was too far away to smack and he didn't really need a broken hand from punching the wall on top of everything.
"Wait," Scott said, his face impossibly close to the webcam. "Is Derek your soul mate?!"

Thomas Cromwell and local government
By John Hubbuch
I just finished reading an historical novel Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel. It was kind of long, and the people talked funny, but I liked it. It told the story of Thomas Cromwell's life journey from a wretched abusive childhood to becoming Henry VIII's right hand man. Cromwell was largely responsible for Henry's divorce and the demise of the Catholic Church in England.
Though Cromwell was born a lowly commoner, he achieved great fame and fortune by mastering detail and knowing where all the bodies were buried. He was able to stay on top for a long time despite the many shifts in Henry's moods and the noble's shifting loyalties. He became the indispensable man.
Five hundred years later things probably haven't changed all that much in government. Tom Barwin (Village Manager), Albert Brooks (Superintendent of District 97), Steve Isoye (Superintendent of District 200) and Gary Balling (Executive Director of Parks and Rec) are the Cromwells of our Village. Their professional expertise, experience, and mastery of the day-to-day operations of their respective enterprises coupled with their being the boss make them at least as influential as the bodies to whom they report. Like Cromwell, they are essential to turning the gears of government.
From my personal experience a long time ago as a District 97 Board Member, I can assure you I was no match to debate school finance or building operations and maintenance with District 97 administration.
However, there is at least one big difference between Thomas Cromwell and the modern administrator. Cromwell's service ended with his heading being chopped off. Today such service ends in a severance package. And so civilization progresses.

The question of who runs Oak Park is fascinating to me. It's clearly not just the elected officials. I suspect it's an interconnected web of business and government.

I have known a lot of city managers and school superintendents. They have an amazing skill set. They are all crafty straw bosses and clever politician. Maybe its clever straw bosses and crafty politicians! They are like Chinese meals. You chat with them for 20 minutes and an hour later, you're not sure if they told you anything. Crazy thing is they are always smiling in probably one on the most stressful jobs on the planet. They do get to keep their heads most of the time.

looks like a smothered to me.
Petrosian called it "Oops!", in 1962.
looks kind of like the blackburne (i believe thats what its called) gambit
where did you get my last game as white?
Wow. This looks pretty clever especially for a blitz game.
You're not thinking of Phildor are you? Thats the only thing that springs to mind with smotherd mate. Either way good game and great mate.
Yeah, it looks like the schematic of the Blackburne Shilling Gambit to me. Supposedly Blackburne offered games to amateurs, at stakes of a Shilling, and would proceed to win by this wily if dubious Gambit. This is just chess legend, and I doubt if it is true.
It's very similar to the Costage Trap.
Yes, definitely Blackburne pattern, did you aim for it or it just happened ?

On Indian Pacific Train from Sydney to Ayers Rock
Need help planning the train trip on the Indian Pacific Train with just the segment to Alice Spring or Ayers Rock.
Report Abuse
Elaine & Don, I think you might be a bit confused. The Indian Pacific Train doesn't go through Alice Springs or Ayers Rock. It goes across the south end of Australia, about 800km south of Alice Springs. If you wanted to get to Alice by train from Sydney, you could get the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Adelaide, then you would have to change trains to get the Ghan from Adelaide to Alice Springs (it doesn't go out to Ayers Rock). Unless you absolutely love train travel, I wouldn't recommend this, I don't know how long it takes, but it would have to be at least 2 1/2 days straight on the train. The scenery will probably be more varied on the east coast (ie the Sydney area) than the Adelaide - Alice Springs trip, but I'll let somebody else recommend, as I have driven this section so often I think I probably take it for granted! Have a wonderful time.
Report Abuse
Elaine & Don,
Jenn is right. The Indian Pacific doesn't go to Alice Springs. There's an article from the Sydney Morning Herald you may find interesting about it.
There's also a web site mentioned which may help you with your planning :
Report Abuse
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I didn't know which train went from Sydney to Alice Springs but now I do!!!
We've heard conflciting reports about the excursio and don't know if it's worthy of the time; perhaps, we should just fly there.
What do you think?
Report Abuse
Fly Don and spend the rest of the time in Cairns and around the Barrier Reef area. Depends too when you want to go.
Report Abuse
Fly!! We have driven that route a number of times and there is not a lot to see. You can fly direct to the Yulara township and then either hire a car or do a coach trip to the Rock. Also make sure you go to the Olgas - great walk there through the Valley of the Winds. Kings Canyon (about 200 km from Yulara) is also worth visiting - again a great walk (about 3 hours) around the rim of the canyon.
Report Abuse
Let me play the devil's advocate to these fine folks who recommend against the train. Understand, I am not from Australia, but am planning my third trip there in July 2002.Also, I LOVE TRAINS!bI took the Indian Pacific across Australia, Sydney to Perth, and loved it. My wife hated it. This train was the best way to see the interior. Sure, it is stark as the plains of Mars, but awesome in that starkness. Relax, read, meet new friends, escape to another world that you will not see any other place on earth. The Ghan is the train from Sydney to Alice Springs, leaving from Sydney only on Sundays. Arrive Tuesday in Alice Springs. No doubt that the scenery to Alice Springs, in the latter stages, will be as featureless as was the scenery to Perth. But is this a bad thing. The Ghan is one of the better trains in the world. It is not just a way to get there, it is part of getting there. What a great opportunity to be with family and friends. Again, this is a unique continent, unlike any other. No doubt that Cairns, Sydney, thye Gold Coast, are great spots, not to be missed. But, you want to see Australia in her heart, in her soul, as she has been for eons....go to the outback. Take the train, rediscover yourself, and discover the heart of Australia. Okay! I again remind you, I love trains, and that may be the ingredient that turns a vacation trip into a great vacation trip!

The new Snell & Wilcox SD/HD Kahuna production switcher will play a central role at NAB-HD, the fully functional, multi-vendor NAB2005 demonstration of what local broadcast stations can achieve with digital technology. Kahuna will be located in the Greene HD Productions mobile unit, which is being used for studio operations and control.
Kahuna integrates SD and HD sources in a single control panel and mainframe, without the need for upconversion. Greene HD Productions will be able to switch SD and/or HD signals for the NAB-HD broadcasts with minimal equipment reconfiguration.
The NAB-HD demonstration illustrates how Kahuna's ability to switch signals of virtually any type can help to extend the useful life of broadcasters' existing SD hardware, and thus deliver tremendous cost savings during the migration toward HD production.
Greene HD Productions' mobile unit will deploy the Kahuna to receive, switch, and distribute inputs from a variety of 720p and 1080i studio and ENG cameras. Kahuna can also accommodate any SD input from cameras, graphics, and archives and integrate these seamlessly into HD productions.
NAB-HD will be broadcast in the North Hall of the LVCC and throughout many of the hotels in Las Vegas. For more information, visit www.snellwilcox.com.

In the wake of the Megaupload shutdown, authorities in Hong Kong say they will set up a center to investigate electronic crime and copyright infringement later this year. Although there has been no suggestion of wrong-doing, the news will almost certainly unsettle other cyberlocker services such as Filesonic, Uploading, Uploaded.to, Zshare and Filepost, all of which have a presence in the region.
"Hong Kong, what an awesome place to do business and to host my new phantom persona," Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom wrote here on TorrentFreak last December.
"I should write a book about doing business in Hong Kong, that's how good it is. People there leave you alone and they are happy for your success," he added.
But leaving him alone wasn't on the agenda of the Hong Kong authorities. In a triumphant January statement they revealed how they had worked with the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI to "smash a transnational cyberlocker syndicate" – aka Megaupload.
The commitment from Hong Kong Customs was significant. Not only did they invest a year's worth of investigative manpower, but also supplied 100 officers from their various copyright enforcement divisions to carry out raids on the company.
According to an FT report, authorities there are set to go even further. Later this year, Hong Kong Customs will set up an "electronic crime investigation" center after being called on by media companies to pay closer attention to other cyberlocker-type services operating locally.
The announcement is likely to further unsettle several other file-hosting services that have a presence in the territory such as Filesonic.com, Uploading.com, Uploaded.to, zshare.net, Filepost.com and Hulkshare.com.
Just a couple of days after the Megaupload raids, Filesonic – one of the top 10 file-sharing sites on the Internet – reacted by disabling all 3rd party sharing.
Like Megaupload before it, Filesonic blocks all local IP addresses, presumably in an attempt to avoid local difficulties. But although there is no suggestion that Filesonic has done anything wrong, this type of blockade alone will not ensure it has a quiet life.
Hong Kong authorities described the motivation behind Megaupload's IP block as "a bid to hinder investigation by law enforcement agencies." Filesonic told FT that they have "a zero tolerance" approach to piracy.
Uploaded.to, another site with Hong Kong links, reacted to the Megaupload raids by blocking all visitors from the United States. Others have disabled their affiliate programs or taken other measures.
"Targeting the organized and transnational nature of IP infringing activities in the wake of technology development, the Hong Kong Customs will continue to monitor the situation and co-operate with the IPR industry and overseas law enforcement agencies so as to suppress infringing activities effectively," HK Customs said in a statement.
Whether Customs will follow-up with further action remains to be seen, but in the meantime an Eastern chill is certainly blowing through cyberlocker land.

Bagus 3,8 /5 from 58 reviews
Used for a 1 night stop-over before flying, wanted close to airport but an alternative to staying in Lat Krabang. Hotel was clean and had basic facilities & seems to cater more for back-packers. Very limited for car parking and not easy to park near hotel.
Clean room, 1/2hr from airport. Suprisingly comfy hard bed, no road noise and decent shower. For one night with an early flight it was perfect for us at the price. We ate at a local restaurant which was very good. Close to a 7/11 and.
The hotel had a very limited parking, only 3 spaces with no roofs and quite steep - it was almost literally on the sidewalk. I was exhausted from work and just needed to relax, got to the hotel - parked my car which by the way, wasn't very easy to park due to limited space and the steep path. I noticed another car came up and double parked in front of my car. Went up to my room ready to jump in the shower that's when the security guard knocked on my door said I had to move my car because the car that blocked me weren't leaving as early as I would and they didn't want to wake those people up to move it in the morning. So that meant they demanded I get dressed immediately and give up my parking space, park on the street so the guy that came after me could snooze away in the morning. So I had to. How lovely. Next morning- I was bitten by a centipede in the shower. By the way, no refrigerator in the room. Other places I have stayed nearby all had a fridge. Traffic was so bad during rush hour- took me at least 30 mins to get 3 km. far. Staff was not that friendly. Will not stay here again even if given a free night stay. My only advice is you should look at other places, skip this hotel.
but no have refrigrator in side room and side of city centre
We stayed for a while and then some more as this is one of the best places I have ever stayed ..clean clean and clean again ..everything looks brand new and for this price...well.just great staff and great place...We will be back..

By day, Terry Coldiron of Shelbyville is a sub-contractor for a local lumber company. By night, he endures the wrath of coaches and fans, calling basketball games as an 8th Region official. Coldiron also officiates NAIA college basketball and baseball. He recently was hired in the Ohio Valley Conference.
In the offseason, he works with a personal trainer to stay in shape. A native of Rowan County, he got his start when an injury ended his baseball career Morehead State. An official for 15 years, Coldiron has his sights set on working his way up the ranks in the seasons to come. He has worked five state basketball tournaments and often works games every night of the week.
On what keeps him officiating:
As an athlete I loved the game. It keeps you in the game. It's great for your physical conditioning. The money isn't really the object; it's the love of the game. It's about the kids.
On working the state tournaments:
It gets you that taste. It's kind of comparable to golf when you hit a shot that's perfect. Then the next five shots are terrible. But you have that one to remember. You always want to go back to Rupp Arena and work in front of that crowd. I'm very blessed and very fortunate to have that opportunity. It's an unbelievable environment.
On his first State Tournament in 2003:
I was scared to death. You're there because you have talent, and you wouldn't be in that situation if they didn't think you'd succeed. And growing up in Kentucky, Rupp Arena has that certain thing about it. If you didn't get to go there as a high school basketball player – and I didn't – the next thing for me was refereeing on that floor. To be able to walk out there and look up at the lights, the banners.
My first State Tournament there was a young player, who was at Rose Hill in Ashland, O.J. Mayo. He played in my first state tournament. I worked Friday night in front of 18,000 people, Ballard versus Rose Hill. Probably one of the biggest games I worked. I've still got the tape.
On the difference between high school and college basketball:
The play is so much better. They're men compared to high school students. Between those ages, the high schoolers, their emotions control them. They're off the page whereas these are grown men almost. They understand more about the game. Their bodies are more developed. They're able to play through more things.
The game's gotten a lot more physical. You let them play through bangs. You're taught not to stop the clock for fouls that are not important. It's all about advantage and disadvantage. If you're going to the basket and I hit you and you don't change your speed, it's not a foul. If you're in the post and I hit you and it didn't knock your balance off, it's not a foul. All contact is not a foul.
At that level, the fans and coaches understand, and they don't want you to call it.
On dealing with the heckling from fans and coaches:
It's not personal. Very few times have I ever run into a situation where it carried off the floor. I have been doing this for a while, so it has happened. But it's not personal.
Most fans understand that. For those 32 or 40 minutes, it's their right to say, 'I paid my seven dollars or whatever to walk in there in give the zebra as much grief as I possibly can.'
On missed calls:
We are human beings. We miss a lot. But the good ones get more right than they miss.
I've worked long enough that I know how to handle coaches, talk to coaches. If I miss a call and the coach says something to me, I'm not going to be standoffish and say, 'You're wrong.' I'm going to say, 'I know, and I missed it. I apologize. I'll work harder.'
The ones that are better, they're going to say the right thing to settle him [a coach]. They've got a job to do as well.
I've never had a game where I officiated and walked off the floor and said, 'Oh, I cost that team that game.'
On the referees' quick exit:
As a young official I always thought, 'Let's get out of here. Just in case.' But now you'll never see me do that. I'll never run now.
Jeff Smith, he's a college official out of Tennessee, I took off jogging off the floor after a game I worked with him, and he's like, 'Where're you going? What are you running from? What'd you steal?' It's just that perception, like we're trying to get away. I walk now.
I've been fortunate in my career to have a lot of people reach back down and pull me up. If they hadn't I never would have learned some of the things I learned.
On life priorities:
They always tell us 'Religion/God, family, real job, basketball'. That's at the Division I level, that's what those guys tell us as we go through camps. When you put basketball in front of any of those three things, it never works out.
On what he wishes for spectators and coaches:
I wish they'd walk in our shoes. We always say, that person who's working in the office or if they're in a factory, let me walk in to your job and sit to the side. And every time you do something I don't like or think you got wrong, let me boo you.
Remember that it's about those 10 kids on the floor. It's about those other 15 kids on the sideline with their coaches. It's all about them. It's not about what you think I'm doing right or doing wrong, it's about those kids and getting it right. I don't have an ego.
On insights beyond the game:
Last night [Tuesday] I had Simon Kenton and Williamstown [Simon Kenton won, 61-34]. I knew two of the kids from Williamstown. I'd been refereeing them since eighth grade. I put my arms around them and thanked them for letting me work their careers. They're good kids; they listened. I watched them grow up from just boys to grown men on their way into life.
I told them to just take everything that their coach taught them and use that in their life. Basketball is a game of life. There were lessons that I learned -- the discipline and confidence -- that I've used throughout my life.

Add another Asian hedge fund to the scrap heap.
Singapore's Novatera Capital has closed its doors and returned its capital to investors. The long/short small-cap equity hedge fund had lost about 16% last year.
Founder Robert Lewis told Reuters that he returned the last of the money about two weeks ago. He added that he is working on other projects now—including a class on value investing—that will not involve his managing money.
The former JPMorgan Chase executive had managed about US$90 million at Novatera, down from a peak of about US$130 million.
The Asian hedge fund industry continues to contract this year, after seeing 140 funds close their doors last year.

By doing some quick math, it becomes clear that by speaking just one language, organizations are only reaching about a quarter of online users. To expand reach and engage with a wider audience, global businesses must adopt multilingual communications. Otherwise, they risk abandoning potential customers who will instead turn to competitors who communicate with them on a local level.
