The above-noted applications are incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein.
1. Field of the Invention
The field of the invention generally relates to low noise figure radiofrequency (RF) devices such as tower mounted amplifiers (TMA's) used in wireless applications. More specifically, the field of the invention relates to the specific design features that are used to produce both a low noise figure and rejection in compact devices. These designs have applications in Tower Mounted Amplifiers ("TMAs") or Mast-Head Amplifiers ("MHAs"), Tower Mounted Boosters ("TMBs") or any other application where low noise figure, rejection of interfering signals and compact size are requirements such as, for example, remote RF applications, and repeater applications.
2. Description of the Related Art
As mobile usage increases, wireless service providers are increasingly faced with the challenge of optimizing and/or expanding their wireless networks to provide better service for their customers while also minimizing their network capital expenditures. TMAs (or MHAs) and TMBs are currently being used extensively in wireless networks to improve the range of cellular base stations. Generally, a TMA or MHA consists of a filter and low noise amplifier ("LNA") which is mounted at or near the top of a base station tower. TMAs and MHAs improve signal quality by boosting the uplink (Rx) signal of a mobile system immediately after the antenna. TMAs and MHAs compensate for the loss in signal that occurs in the coaxial cable run from the antenna to the base transceiver station ("BTS"). The goal of TMAs and MHAs is to amplify the in-band signal close to the antenna so as to provide the lowest possible noise contribution to the overall receiver system. The noise figure of the TMA should be as low as possible, so as to minimize the noise from the TMA itself. For example, a difference of 1 dB in the noise figure results in a difference in coverage of .about.20%. Thus, even small changes in the noise figure as measured in dBs (which are measured on a logarithmic scale) can significantly affect the overall performance characteristics of the device.
TMAs and MHAs can result in increased coverage area for a given base station. This allows mobile subscribers to place more calls, place longer calls, increase data throughput, as well as reduce the number of dropped calls. This also reduces the overall number of base stations required to cover a specific area, hence, minimizing overall capital and operating expenditures. Capital expenditures for wireless towers/base stations can be very expensive. For example, it is estimated that each tower/base station can cost between about $500,000 and $750,000. In addition, each base station requires ongoing site lease expenses, backhaul (such as T1 lease), maintenance, totaling .about.$50,000 per year. Because if of this, TMAs and MHAs have the ability to significantly reduce overall capital and operating expenditures on wireless infrastructure because a lower number of towers/base stations may be used to provide the same amount of coverage for a particular area.
TMAs or MHAs have become increasingly used as wireless carriers move to higher frequencies (i.e., greater than about 1.5 GHz) because RF propagation losses are much higher and service range is much shorter at these frequencies (as compared to .about.850 MHz—the initial deployment frequency of cellular in the United States) and .about.900 MHz or 450 MHz (initial deployment frequency in Europe). TMAs or MHAs are typically overlaid on top of existing base station infrastructure in order to avoid the high cost to site and construct additional base station towers. Current TMAs or MHAs rely on metal resonator/air-filled, cavity-based filters which can have low loss but poor filtering characteristics or good filtering characteristics and high loss. It is important, however, to reduce out-of-band signals as much as possible because signals passing through the filters will be amplified and passed to the BTS. This is particularly important because the presence of out-of-band interfering signals will produce additional noise in the system because of spurious signals generated within the non-linear components such as the LNA and mixers, or saturation of the components resulting in significantly reduced performance from the system.
The problem is that in order to mount the LNA as close as possible to the antenna, the filter in the TMA or MHA must necessarily be small because of the limited space or "real estate" at the top of the tower. In current metal resonator/air cavity-based filters, this necessitates poor filtering performance. While high performance metal resonator/cavity filters are available, their large size and increased loss precludes them from being used in close-to-the antenna applications (e.g., in TMA or MHA systems).
Thus, there is a need for a RF device that provides excellent out-of-band signal rejection with low pass band loss, yet is small enough to mount close to the antenna. Preferably, the RF device can be incorporated into TMAs or MHAs which can be overlaid on existing tower infrastructure for use in a wide variety of frequencies including 2 GHz (or higher) applications.
In addition, there is a growing need for better filtering in newer (3G) air interfaces such as CDMA and OFDM. This need for better filtering comes from the fact that on CDMA and OFDM wireless networks, any interference has a significant impact on the receiver performance, unlike earlier protocols such as analog, TDMA or GSM. Furthermore, data services are becoming increasingly important to wireless carriers. Unfortunately, data is much less forgiving than voice with respect to errors. The power amplifier design is much more complex and is limited by the out of the band emissions at maximum power. This can, however, be reduced with good filtering. Thus, newer technologies being implemented in wireless networks are driving the need for good filtering on both the transmit and the receive side of the network.
In one aspect of the invention a radiofrequency (RF) device (e.g., TMA, MHA, TMB) adapted for coupling to an antenna includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and an input and output, the input being coupled to the antenna, the output being coupled to a base station (BTS). A transmission path may be provided within the housing and includes a transmit filter. A receive path is provided within the housing and includes at least one receive filter and a low noise amplifier.
In one aspect of the invention, the noise figure of the receive path (which includes a bypass around the amplifiers) is less than 1.2 dB over a substantial part (i.e., >50%) of the band of interest. For example, in the PCS band (1.85 GHz to 1.91 GHz), it is believed that outside of the device embodiment by the current invention, the best noise figure performance from a TMA currently available is the Powerwave Technologies, Inc., Santa Ana, Calif. PCS band TMA device (part no. LGP175nn) which specifies a typical noise figure of 1.6 dB.
In another aspect of the invention, a radiofrequency (RF) device (e.g., TMA, MHA, and TMB) is configured for coupling to an antenna includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and an input and output, the input being coupled to the antenna, the output being coupled to a base station (BTS). A transmission path may be provided within the housing and includes a plurality of transmit resonators. A receive path is provided within the housing and includes a plurality of cavities, with each cavity filled with a dielectric-based resonator. Tunable transmission zeros may be provided between non-adjacent resonators (e.g., between resonators 2-4 and 5-7 of an 8 pole receive filter). A clean-up filter may be provided downstream of the dielectric receive filter to remove high frequency, spurious responses in the transmission characteristics of the dielectric filter, typically due to higher order modes in the dielectric filled cavities. In addition, the output of the clean-up filter may pass to a low noise amplifier (LNA) which is, in turn, connected to a post-LNA filter made from a plurality of metal resonators located within cavities of the housing. The output of the post-LNA filter maybe coupled to transmit-receive diplexer which is connected to a coaxial connector to a base station, or may have a separate coaxial connection from the transmit connector to the base station.
In one aspect of the invention, the RF device has an overall volume of less than 220 in.sup.3 and is mounted adjacent or near the antenna. The overall volume includes the size of the complete, finished housing and cover but omits any connectors and mounting hardware (e.g., brackets and the like). The small size is achieved by minimizing the volume of the cavities that house the dielectric pucks (i.e., resonators). For example, in one preferred aspect, the ratio of the cavity diameter to dielectric puck diameter is less than 1.5:1. The close fit between the outer circumference of the dielectric pucks and the walls of the individual cavities is different from other devices which have a large gap or space between the dielectric and the housing, thus making the device relatively large in size. The closeness of the exterior of the dielectric pucks and the walls of the cavities enables the coupling between dielectric resonators to be relatively large, necessary to cover full operating frequency bands (for example, the current PCS service in the USA has a bandwidth of 60 MHz covering the frequency range from 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz). Also, the closeness of the dielectrics in the cavities allows them to be tuned more than usual as compared to conventional dielectric-based filter designs. Typically, these conventional dielectric-based filters have a cavity to dielectric diameter ratio of 2:1 or greater, making it very difficult to produce large enough couplings necessary for the relatively wide bandwidths described above.
In certain embodiments, when transmission zeros are desirable to increase rejection, a tunable, resonant coupling device is used. For example, the device includes a resonant element which couples to the magnetic field associated with the dielectric puck and a tunable capacitor. The resonant element may include a metallic (e.g., copper wire) that is grounded at each end to the housing walls of non-adjacent cavities, thereby coupling to the electromagnetic fields in both cavities. The resonant element passes through a low loss tubular member having an aperture that receives a tuning element such as, for instance, a rotatable tuning screw or the like.
In still another aspect of the invention, the filter device includes a unique structure to form a coupling and phasing network between a metallic filter and the dielectric filter, to form a diplexer (or duplexer) function. The coupling uses a metallic wire that is disposed in one or both of the cavities containing the first and last dielectric filter. The metallic wire closely tracks the outer circumference of the dielectric resonator, preferably, without touching the surface of the resonator. In one aspect, for example, on the connector to the antenna, the metallic wire connects to the antenna connection and couples a metallic transmit filter to the first dielectric receive filter with appropriate phasing to produce the necessary two pass band responses. In another aspect, the metallic wire couples the last dielectric filter to a metallic filter of a downstream clean-up filter.
In yet another aspect of the invention, the LNA is formed on a low loss dielectric printed circuit board (PCB). The use of the low loss PCB is particularly important to produce low noise figure and when using a bypass option as part of the LNA circuit.
In one aspect of the invention, a radiofrequency device adapted for coupling to an antenna includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and an input and output, with the input being operatively coupled to the antenna and the output being operatively coupled to a base station. The RF device further includes a transmission path disposed within the housing and including a plurality of transmit resonators. The RF device also includes a receive path disposed within the housing that includes a plurality of filter sections, with each filter section having a plurality of receive resonators. A low noise amplifier is operatively coupled via an input to a last resonator in one of the plurality of filter sections and also operatively coupled via an output to the input of another of the plurality of filter sections. The RF device has a noise figure of less than 1.2 dB at the center band.
In another aspect of the invention, a radiofrequency device adapted for coupling to an antenna includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and an input and output, the input being operatively coupled to the antenna, the output being operatively coupled to a base station. The RF device further includes a transmission path disposed within the housing and including a plurality of transmit resonators. A pre-LNA filter section is disposed within the housing, the pre-LNA filter section including a receive filter having a plurality of cavities, each cavity holding a dielectric resonator. The RF device further includes a clean-up filter disposed in the pre-LNA filter section, the clean-up filter including at least one cavity disposed within the housing, the at least one cavity containing one or more coaxial resonators. A low noise amplifier is operatively coupled to a last coaxial resonator in the clean-up filter. The low noise amplifier is also operatively coupled to the input of a post-LNA receive filter. The RF device has a noise figure of less than 1.2 dB at the center band.
In still another embodiment, a radiofrequency device adapted for coupling to an antenna includes a housing having an input and output, the input being operatively coupled to the antenna, the output being operatively coupled to a base station. The RF device includes a transmission path within the housing that has a plurality of transmit resonators. The RF device further includes a first receive filter disposed within the housing and including a plurality of cavities, each cavity holding a dielectric resonator, wherein a transmit resonator located closest to the input is coupled to a first dielectric resonator using a conductor connected to the transmit resonator and terminating adjacent to the first dielectric resonator. A second receive filter is disposed in the housing, wherein a last dielectric resonator in the first receive filter is coupled to a first receive resonator in the second receive filter via a conductor connected to the first receive resonator of the second receive filter and terminating adjacent to the last dielectric resonator. The RF device also includes a low noise amplifier operatively coupled to a last resonator in the second receive filter, the low noise amplifier being operatively coupled to the input of a third receive filter.
It is one object of the invention to provide a high performance (low noise figure with rejection to potential interfering signals) yet small-sized TMA/MHA/TMB. The TMA/MHA/TMB is typically mounted close to the antenna to reduce insertion loss of the interconnecting cables and hence minimize deterioration of the noise figure of the system. The incorporation of dielectric resonators into the RF device provides high performance (e.g., low loss and excellent, high selectivity, filtering capabilities) in a small size that is readily amenable for mounting close to the antenna—a location where size and weight is at a premium and installation is facilitated by such features. Further features and advantages will become apparent upon review of the following drawings and description of the preferred embodiments.
Certain cavities 22, such as those that contain the dielectric resonators 50 (described in detail below), are open or free space regions formed by a series of walls 28 or partitions that generally separate the cavities 22 from one another. Still other cavities 22, such as those that contain the coaxial or metallic resonators 74, 104 may be contiguous with one another. As seen in

In one aspect, the dielectric-based resonators 50 are formed from a dielectric material having a dielectric constant of at least twenty. The material used may include titanate-based, niobate-based, or tantalate (BZT)-based dielectric materials. Examples of materials usable in the dielectric-based resonators 50 include Series Nos. 8300, 4300 and 4500 dielectrics available from Trans-Tech, Inc., 5520 Adamstown Road, Adamstown, Md. 21710. There are several choices for dielectric materials with the trade-offs being size (dielectric constant), rejection (Q), and cost.
The first receive filter section illustrated in
In one aspect, the resonant coupling elements 54 are formed from a segment of metallic wire 56 (e.g., copper wire) having both ends 58 secured and electrically grounded to the housing 20 (e.g., using pre-drilled holes or the like). The wire 56 is secured to a cylinder 59 made of brass or other conductive material that is situated between the coupled resonators 50B/50D and 50E/50G. As seen in

The clean-up filter section 46 may include cylindrical or rod-shaped metallic resonators 74A, 74B, 74C, 74D. The Rx clean-up filter 46 is provided to clean-up spurious frequency responses prior to transmission to the BTS 8 or the LNA 90. As seen in
The LNA 90 illustrated in
The LNA 90 amplifies signals down to the BTS 8. The LNA 90 includes dual amplifiers, operated in a balanced (e.g. parallel) configuration, with an overall gain of 13 dB. The LNA 90 further includes a bypass feature 150 having, for instance, single-pole-double-throw mechanical relays (or other such bypass switching device, e.g. semiconductor based or MEMS based switches). In the event of failure, the LNA 90 may be bypassed entirely so that the transmission tower 4 can still function (albeit at a lower performance level).

In one aspect, the overall volume of the RF device 2 when assembled (excluding mounting gear) is less than about 220 in.sup.3 in size while at the same time the RF device 2 has performance characteristics not achievable with conventional metal resonator/cavity filters. The RF device 2 described herein has a small volume or footprint and high resonator Q values. The RF device 2 may be implemented in a wireless network implementing protocols such as TDMA, CDMA, OFDM, or TDD. Preferably, the RF device 2 can be used in networks operating a frequencies exceeding 1.5 GHz, or even 2 GHz.
For example, at 1.852 MHz, the noise in the RF device 2 is around 1.08-1.17 dB. At 1.880 MHz, the noise in the RF device 2 is around 1.09-1.18 dB. Finally, at around 1.908 MHz, the noise in the RF device 2 is around 1.28-1.39 dB. At the higher frequencies, the improvement in the performance of the RF device 2 as compared to the Powerwave device is even more apparent. The RF device 2 also provides Tx rejection of greater than 80 dB. It should be noted that an improvement (i.e., reduction) of about 0.2 dB can be reached if the RF device 2 does not utilize a bypass and the components used to create such a bypass feature.
As explained above, one benefit of a reduced noise figure is that a mobile or PCS carrier is able to increase the coverage area of a cellular base station 8. By mounting the RF device 2 of the type disclosed herein close to or at the antenna 6, the area of uplink coverage may increase in excess of 20%. The greater coverage of a particular BTS 8 means that fewer BTS 8 have to be built and sited for a given coverage area. The RF devices 2 are thus able to decrease the total outlay of capital necessary to establish and implement wireless network capability across a given geographic area.
While the RF device 2 has generally been described in terms of operating in dual-duplex mode having a single coax output, the RF device 2 may also be configured in a single-duplex mode having two coax outputs. In addition, in still other alternative embodiments, the RF device 2 may operate without any transmission functionality. In this regard, the RF device 2 may operate in a simplex mode having just receive capabilities. Also, one or more the second and third receive filter sections 46, 48 may be omitted in certain embodiments. For example, the clean-up filter section 46 may be optional and omitted from certain embodiments. Also dual or multiple RF devices 2 may be constructed within a single housing or formed by appropriate connection(s) of multiple housings to form a single unit.
While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The invention, therefore, should not be limited, except to the following claims, and their equivalents.

Extract of sample
The essence of the Christian ethic is/is not the care of the poor
Others maintain a socialist financial system, citing Acts 2:44–45. Still others, also known as liberation theologians, suppose a form of Marxism is taught by the Bible and that the kingdom of God will be ushered in by some sort of socialism. 3. Modern day philosophers have disputed the use of Christian ethics to advocate for the care of the poor Religion is made to prey on the weak. "It is easy enough to tell the poor to accept their poverty as God's will when you yourself have warm clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you - try to share some of their poverty and see if you can accept it as God's will yourself!" (Merton 37) 4. An incompatibility with loving God and money The accumulation of riches is seen as fundamentally wrong. It is also viewed that Christianity, through the scripture propagates that the poor should hand over their hard earned money to the church thus making them stagnate in their economic level. ...

What is the Enlightenment project and how did it impact upon Christian Theology?
Creative and critical thinking is an essential tool in analysis of theology, since all its aspects are related to the basic human understanding the origin of all creation and nature given the universal belief of a superior being. It is in this perspective that the philosophy of the holy trinity resulted in a deep examination of the biblical information and the church in general. Two different factions of Christians have come up, one group believes in the trinity that has God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This group is referred to as the Trinitarian group (Leupp 2008). The other...

What is the Buddhist Critique of the Christian understanding of God?
Whatever the case, misconception of religious aspects have elicited debates which tend to prove or disapprove practices that do not conform to the perceived beliefs. The concern is not to discredit the practices observed, but to contend to factors that led to such practices. Recent development in the religious circle indicates a practice, which does not seek to find the truth, but creates competition among the religionists. The suspicions that a given group of religionist directs towards others does not portray the intention of religion in humanity. The aim of this paper is critique Buddhist...

Then there is Mormonism, probably the youngest Christian inspired faiths and often criticized for its practices. There has been a standing argument, for some time, whether Mormonism is, in fact, a member of the Christian faith or is it its own religion that borrowed Christian doctrines? Many Christians believe that Mormons are not Christian at all, while Mormons defend their faith as absolutely a part of Christianity. That said, the argument is a good one from both sides of the issue. However, answering the question of whether Mormonism is Christian is, like any religious issue, a matter of...

I find it hard – and sort of unexciting – having to attend church service without taking a break to go fishing. Attending church services has never been big on my immediate-things-to-do list. At least that is what used to happen before I fully committed to fishing where no fish bites. I am at a point where I keep finding myself wanting to follow where the finger of Jesus points, far away from continuous church service attendance.
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
– Matthew 4:19
Fishing where no fish bites
Having become a regular church service attender, I have quickly discovered how comfortable it is to keep fishing where no fish bites. I have also become adept at not to encroach on imaginary boundaries that regular church goers have set on their territories – for their seating, parking and calligraphy on 'special offerings' envelopes.
Interestingly, when I was a small boy I used to fish a lot. I learned that a successful fisherman knows where to fish, the equipment and bait to use. Getting bait involved searching for snails through knee-deep mud. We also used crickets and white ants as bait. While looking for bait and fishing, we were always on the lookout for danger.
We were careful to avoid pond owners, snakes and, crocodiles when we fished in the lake. Fishing entailed getting our hands dirty and putting our shoulders to the wheel. This is a complete contrast of coming to church wearing suit and tie and looking forward to a nice time under the whirring sound of air coolers and overhead fans.
"Successful fishing calls for knowing the kind of fish we are fishing, the conditions they are in and which bait to use. Our bait is the gospel of Jesus Christ which transforms and brings meaning to lives. Spreading the gospel is our mission as Christians"
What does it mean to be a 'fisher of men'?
When Jesus told Peter and Andrew they were going to become 'fishers of men' they abandoned their fishing boat and nets and followed Jesus. It is only when we read Matthew 28:18-20 and Ephesians 6:10-20 that we understand what becoming fishers of men entail. Fishing for men is all accomplishing the great commission.
And just as we need the right equipment, knowledge of the dangers to avoid as a fisherman, we need to know what it takes to be 'fishers of men.' We must know what kind of fish we are fishing, the conditions they are in and which bait to use. As fishers of men, the gospel of Jesus Christ becomes our bait. When we fully understand the message and know its importance in accomplishing Jesus' mission for us, we are able to be fishers of men.
Final Thoughts
A church service should therefore be the means through which 'fishers of men' are constantly equipped for fishing. Once they are equipped they MUST go out and engage in winning souls for Christ. Otherwise, attending church service – with the same people, every Sunday – becomes fishing where no fish bites.
But if we are the Body, why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing? Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the Body, why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way
– If We Are The Body, Casting Crowns

Hedge fund FCA regulation
Most hedge funds are located offshore. Therefore, the fund itself is not within the scope of the FCA's rules. However, those who manage, market, and facilitate investments are within the FCA's scope. If you don't ensure that individuals and entities who assist the fund have appropriate approvals, then penalties apply.
Our services for hedge fund regulations include:
Since the 2008 crisis, the UK government has reshaped the regulatory landscape. Hedge funds attract the government's focus since they provide alternatives to traditional investments.
FCA compliance
A hedge fund is notoriously difficult to define. There is no statutory definition. However, the FCA confirmed that a hedge fund is an alternative investment fund. Thus the FCA has the authority to intervene.
Hedge fund structure
If the fund itself is offshore, then it's likely the FCA has no supervisory power. However, UK fund managers are probably supervised by the FCA if they:
- Advise on investments;
- Arrange deals in investments;
- Act as agent;
- Manage investments; and
- Carry on a regulated activity.
Penalties for poor market behavior are also intended to deter others. Consequently, hedge fund managers require systems and controls appropriate to their business' scale and nature. Otherwise they face striking off and licence revocation.
Authorisation process
Any individual discharging the above activities requires authorisation. The entity at which the individual operate, also requires authorisation. We manage your application process.
Portfolio documents
Investors require portfolio documents. Clearly, the content depends of the funds strategy.
Key information document
Potential investors should receive the key information document, a pre-contractual disclosure document. Each investor should confirm they received this document, which must:
- Be fair & accurate;
- Free of marketing material;
- Precisely worded;
- Contain information on key contractual documents, e.g. the management agreement;
Target investors
If the fund seeks investment within the EU, then EU rules apply. Compliance issues depend on the fund's structure. Forthcoming and recent amendments include:
Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, MiFID II, comes in effect in early 2017. It repeals and recasts the previous directive. It will form the legal framework for investment funds, trading platforms, and venues. It also includes data protection requirements.
European Long Term Investment Fund
The European Long Term Investment Fund, ELTIF, came into effect in 2015. These funds investors seeking long term returns on capital, sometimes termed patient capital. The funds mainly invest in tangible assets, and require authorisation.
Marketing a fund to individuals requires special care. Usually, funds target high net worth or sophisticated individuals. Best practice is for managers to meet the individual investors.
The FCA considers these individuals may have the requisite knowledge and skill to understand investment risks. We draft appropriate paperwork, that should include certain declarations from investors.
Different rules apply to different jurisdictions. The jurisdiction depends on the structure, i.e. the location of the fund, the individuals and investors.
Fund marketing risks
Usually, managers can market the fund, although there are risks. If managers lack appropriate authority to market the fund, investors may bring claims. The FCA may intervene. Usually, funds target institutional investors and sophisticated individual investors. If you step outside these boundaries, you require higher levels of authorisation.
Risk reduction
The FCA publishes lists of firms and individuals undertaking activities that lack required regulatory approval. Avoid this list.
Hires and exits
When hiring employees, you require a greater level of due diligence. In your employment documents, each employee should confirm and warrant that they:
- Are an approved person;
- Will seek to remain an approved person;
- Will not risk losing approved person status; and
- Have not faced any disciplinary action from any regulatory body.
Exit documents
When an approved person leaves, usually the management entity and individual sign a settlement agreement. The approved person should provide warranties and indemnities, stating the individual has:
- Acted within the scope of their instructions;
- Acted in accordance with the fund's internal policies; and
- Not received any FCA notices.
Fail to address these risks at employee level and you risk investor claims and the FCA's attention.
Track record: regulation & compliance
Recent instructions include:
- Employee exits and hires for management entity: ensured compliance with the application of FCA rules. We acted on a fixed retainer.
- FCA approval: applied and obtained approval for entity undertaking regulated activities in the UK.
- Cayman island fund compliance: ensured compliance of marketing approaches to UK investors.
- Newly incorporated Luxembourg fund targeting EU institutional investors: prepared portfolio and investment documentation.
All financial practices in the UK fall under the FCA's umbrella. Even if hedge funds incorporate overseas, there are no exceptions. Authorisation is required.
We manage your authorisation alongside the structural and management paperwork. Our objective viewpoint clarifies grey areas.

Prop the Door
From time to time, you may need to replace a broken side-spring on your garage door. Sometimes they break, and sometimes they just stretch too far and don't provide enough tension to lift the door effectively. The repair is easy enough, but you will need help, and you must use extreme caution, as the springs are loaded with tension and can be lethal if they hit someone. Have someone help you lift the garage door to relieve pressure from the spring, and prop it in the fully opened position with a set of tightened locking pliers clamped just below the bottom roller on the door track.
Remove the spring from the "S" hook by hand on one side, and unbolt the pulley to remove the other side. Take the spring to a garage door dealer to get matching replacements. Install the new spring taking care not to stretch it more than an inch or so with the door completely open. Re-attach the pulley bolt. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the garage door after switching the locking pliers to the other side.
Lower the Door
Remove the pliers, and lower the door slowly, taking care that no one is standing near the springs. Watch to make sure that the anchor points of the springs are not pulling loose and that the sheaves in the end of the springs are not touching the fixed sheaves. (This could be a problem if you have stretched the spring too far during installation.)
If the door is still heavy to lift, you may re-attach the pliers and stretch the spring another inch or two, but take care not to exceed the distance that you saw between the two sheaves when the door was fully closed.
Check to make sure the safety cables on either side run through the springs and are firmly anchored beyond the last travel points of the springs. If your springs do not have the safety cable, you may add a 3/16 inch braided steel cable through the center of the springs and attach it to the track support where it will not interfere with the opening and closing of the door. This will keep the springs from popping completely off if they come loose--a safety measure and a measure of convenience when replacing the springs.

Turkey is a country that is on the border with Europe and Asia. The capital is Ankara and the country has a population of 73,628,622.
The country has poor relations with Israel following an Israeli siege on an aid flotilla near the Gaza Strip in 2010, in which ten citizens of Turkey were killed.
2012 Siege of Ankara
On May 11, 2012, while under occupation by the Ottomans, Minecraftian, Vietnamese, British and Russian forces assaulted Ankara to release the controls under Ottoman control. As forces pushed through, a portal opened and High Charity crashed into Ankara, releasing flood into the city. After a long fight, the forces eventually prevailed. After much fighting, the USSR's high tech weaponry and machinery pushed through the flood forces, eliminating many of them.
USSR scouting machines moved into High Charity, eliminating flood resistance with their heat rays. They approached the very core of High Charity, and fired their heat rays upon it, alerting everyone to evacuate Ankara, as they were giving their lives to destroy High Charity. After all forces had evacuated Ankara, the men shouted one last "Ura!". As they did this, a large light was emitted from High Charity, before it exploded in a fireball, eliminating almost all flood forces in the area, the rest of which were killed by ground forces. Most of Ankara was unfortunately destroyed in the explosion.

Steinway piano set the stage for the Devon Tower preview of the Honens ProAm piano competition.
We are proud to announce that Steinway & Sons pianos are the official piano of the 2014 Honens ProAm competition in Calgary. The main event will be held Nov. 15, 2014 at the Rosza Centre. We were pleased to enjoy a pre-competition recital at the Devon Building in downtown Calgary. The artists did a wonderful job providing music for the lunch crowd!
This year's pianists are: Lottie Austin, Angela Baker, Wendy Liu, Ingrid Mosker and Thomas Yu.
Honens Laureates are acclaimed all over the world and the triennial "Search for the Complete Artist" awards a $100,000 dollar prize – the largest of its kind. Not only that, but an artist development program valued at half a million dollars is also awarded.
Click here to watch video.
Five Calgary professionals are set to perform in front of a live audience as part of a competition benefiting Honens.
"The ProAm is actually a competition but it's with accomplished pianists who've chosen another career," explains Michele Stanners, Honens VP of advancement and engagements. "It could be the engineer, the lawyer down the hall, or a periodontist – which is the situation that we have here."
Stanners says the performers are wonderful pianists who continue to practice and hone their craft, despite the fact they've chosen a non-musical career path.
On November 15, the five competitors will take to the stage of the Rosza Centre at the University of Calgary, with each participant performing a 15 minute recital.
Wendy Liu, vice-president at Arc Financial, a private equity firm, has signed on as a performer. Liu says the opportunity to gain friends and colleagues who share her passion for music drew her to the ProAm.
"I realized (a career in music) just wasn't in the cards for me, and I did take quite a long hiatus, but the love of music kinda crept up again and I started playing again in March of this year," explains Liu.
"I've been involved in piano since I was much younger, seven years old, and I've just kept up this love for music. I thought this was a great opportunity to support the Honens organization."
The pianists will contribute their music to the evening, but they well also assist financially, as each performer is asked to raise $20,000 for Honens. The Honens ProAm is a friendly competition but the competitors are vying for several prizes in addition to the night's title.
"We have wonderful prizes like the residency at the Banff Centre, we have music packages, we'll have restaurant packages," said Stanners. "I played in it and, I know for me, it was the thrill of getting back to the piano and being able to maybe do something that I always wished I could have done, maybe play in a professional competition, but to do it in a setting that's friendly and fun."
Stanners says the fundraising model is similar to marathon participants collecting donations before a race. Donations will assist Honens career development program and ensure the organization continues to operate one of the top piano competitions in the world, the Honens Piano Competition, which is held every three years. The next Honens Piano Competition is scheduled for September 2015.
"On a world scale, we're recognized as being in the top five," said Stanners. "We have the largest cash prize at $100,000, we have a career development program valued at half a million, and this is an incredible achievement for Calgary."

Grace's, Johnny Carrabba's upscale Southern restaurant, has much to recommend it, and you can see most of it as you crawl up Kirby Drive. It's a beautiful, homey building with lace curtains in the windows. Its patio is tailor-made for this walkable part of Houston.
Once inside, the visual thrills continue. The dining room combines a country club atmosphere—plush, comfy chairs spaced nicely apart from other tables—with touches you'll find in fine Southern homes, such as a brick fireplace, family portraits and heirloom china.
Your eyes pop as you open the menu; it features just about every classic comfort dish you can imagine. It's hard to decide what to order at Grace's! But folks eventually do, and the dishes flowing from the kitchen beguile with lush presentations and a keen sense of color.
Yet it's what you can't see that impresses most. You could be forgiven for thinking Grace's doesn't have a bar. No signs point to one, and there are no clues from the dining room. But where are all those cocktails, those glasses of wine, coming from?
If you already know the answer, please forgive me for spilling the beans. There's an unmarked oak door opposite the host stand. (They'll discreetly point if you ask.) Open the door, and step into a hidden sanctuary that's at once urbane and joyous, yet completely isolated from the restaurant and the streets outside.
It's almost like a speakeasy, yet no password is required. The River Oaks people watching is stellar. This is my favorite place to hide from broiling Houston summers, or when a friend and I just want a good conversation. Not to mention a perfect Grey Goose martini. That the bar is tended by ethereal community ally Peter C. just completes the experience.
After cocktails, I love digging into Grace's Sweet & Sour Calamari and Shrimp. Listed as an appetizer, it's enough perfectly crisp and glazed food for four, and Chinese broccoli and green tea soba noodles take the dish over the top. Or try the meaty Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, paired with addictive candied cashews.
I also enjoy Aunt Margaret Ann's Roasted Chicken, which comes with nicely seared broccolini. In fact, I'm eating it takeout as I type this! The skin is almost brittle, but the inside is moist and well brined. If you like your chicken fried, Grace's does a remarkable version—a huge portion with your choice of two sides that, in the words of one Yelp reviewer, " no Caucasian woman could have made!"
If I'm having one of my salad days, there isn't much that can beat Grace's Gulf Fried Oyster Salad. The spinach is lightly dressed with crumbled blue cheese and pine nuts. It's all topped with fried oysters that deliver the right amount of crunch.
For dessert, Grace's go-to is its Godiva Freeze, a boozy, thick, chocolaty milkshake. It's insanely good, as are the Bananas Foster Pancakes, available both as a dessert and at brunch.
Parking is easy; choose valet or the parking garage next door. Grace's is a great spot when you need a little bit of comfort!

Badlands Bride by Adrianne Wood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read this book by accident, thinking it was another book that was highly recommended. I wouldn't highly recommend this book but I wouldn't dissuade, either. It's a typical romance novel (which I rarely read) with a cowboy, stagecoach edge. Mason is the love interest, Lily is the grand daughter of a rich tycoon. The couple are reluctantly drawn to one another, end up having sex a few times, and so on.
It's a nice smut read, as far as smut goes. It isn't over the top smut. Romance sprinkled with a satisfying amount of sex. Both protagonists are likeable. Villain is included along with an interesting story line.

"Capturing moments"
"Creating magical memories"
"Creating your story"
"Creating precious memories"
"Natural emotions"
If you've spent any time at all searching through the websites of wedding photographers, you've probably seen one or all of the above statements. Now, that's their thing and I'm cool with that, but I'm not going to tell you those things, even though I'm supposed to according to the branding consultants out there. For me personally, I find those words a little insincere, especially if nearly everyone is saying them.
When I read about a photographer capturing moments, I envisage someone running around, with a camera in one hand and a big net in the other, stalking the moments, trying to catch them and put them in a bag… however that works. That's as far as I've really thought about it. I hope this annoys the branding consultants though.
If you can also see that vision in your head, then we're probably going to get along quite nicely.
So what can I tell you about me?
• I'm a Brisbane based AIPP Accredited Photographer, with a number of years experience in the Photographic industry
• I offer professional and reliable service, no excuses
• I am Australia's first Ambassador for Permajet Fine Art Printing products
• I'm a husband
• I'm quite short
• I have a dry sense of humour (I'm English, I can't help it!)
Things I like:
• Dining out with my wife and our friends
• Walking our dog (he's called 'The Wolf')
• I have an obscure taste in music, of which my wife is not a fan of (my favourites include Brit rock including The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, I Am Kloot through to Psychedelic rock, such as Shack, Tame Impala, The Shins)
• I have an even more obscure taste in comedy (including Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Simon Munnery)
• I like hanging out in places that make good coffee
Starting from as little as $2590 AUD, you can secure my services. I'm available to photograph weddings as close as Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast, and as far away as you can think of.
At present, my bookings for this year and next are filling up fast so if you like what you see then please don't hesitate to get in contact. There are still a few spaces in 2016, so use the button below to fill out the form and I will contact you right away.

Clouds of Glory: The Life and Legend of Robert E. Lee
By Michael Korda
New York Times bestselling writer Michael Korda's clean, modern unmarried quantity ancient biography of normal Robert E. Lee—perhaps the main recognized and least understood legend in American historical past and one among our so much in demand heroes.
Michael Korda, writer of Ulysses S. Grant and the bestsellers Ike and Hero, paints a bright and admiring portrait of Lee as a super basic, a faithful kinfolk guy, and principled gentleman who disliked slavery and disagreed with secession, but who refused command of the Union military in 1861 simply because he couldn't "draw his sword" opposed to his liked Virginia.
Well-rounded and reasonable, Clouds of Glory analyzes Lee's command through the Civil battle and explores his accountability for the deadly stalemate at Antietam, his defeat at Gettysburg (as good the numerous troubling controversies nonetheless surrounding it) and finally, his failed process for successful the warfare. As Korda exhibits, Lee's dignity, braveness, management, and modesty made him a hero on either side of the Mason-Dixon Line and a respected American icon who's well-known this day because the nation's preeminent army leader.
Clouds of Glory positive factors dozens of gorgeous illustrations, a few by no means sooner than obvious, together with twelve pages of colour, twenty-four pages of black-and-white, and approximately fifty in-text conflict maps.

From the stories that extend me which are entitled to credits, the strength of the enemy contrary Fredericksburg is represented as too huge to confess of any diminution no matter what of our military in that neighborhood at the moment, because it will possibly not purely invite an assault on Richmond, yet jeopard[ize] the security of the military within the Peninsula. I remorse, for that reason, that your request, to have 5 thousand males despatched from that military to reënforce you, can't be complied with. are you able to draw adequate from the command of basic Edward Johnson to warrant you in attacking Banks?
H. Hill, and A. P. Hill have been anxiously ready to listen to the sound of Jackson's weapons so that it will release their assault. it is just seven miles from the Virginia valuable railway, which Jackson had crossed at nine a. m. , to Totopotomoy Creek, yet Jackson took until eventually three p. m. to arrive it, which means his infantry didn't disguise greater than a few mile an hour—a certain signal of straggling and unauthorized halts. Stuart had despatched a few of his troops forward to safe the bridge around the creek, they usually skirmished in short with an outpost of Federal cavalry conserving the bridge, riding them away, even though no longer sooner than the Federals had set hearth to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson anticipated that Brown "will make the gallows excellent just like the cross"; Henry David Thoreau might name Brown "a crucified hero"; from France Victor Hugo wrote an open letter pleading for Brown's pardon; and in harmony, Massachusetts, Louisa may perhaps Alcott, the writer of Little ladies, outlined the widening gulf among North and South over the difficulty of slavery while she wrote of Brown's coming execution, No monument of quarried stone No eloquence of speech, Can grave the teachings at the land His martyrdom will educate.

Not exactly the only guide. But great thanks. I did the process on New 16 GB and old 8 GB. I have hone working with both ATT and Orange sim. But neither sim will let me connect to YouTube nor use the locator feature of Google Maps.
Can someone guide me in fixing this.
My iphone 1.1.3 3.9BL is staying jailed after i run ZiPhone.It activates and i ran iSim and i'm all unlocked but i cant install anything from installer.
I keep getting Error Package download failed!
If i run iDependance and hoot up my 1.1.3 phone, it says at the bottom that its jailed?
Can we SSH into the phone with Fugu or any similar program?
Modding Addict
i know this is a noob question, but i successfully jailbroke my iphone, now if i restore it in iTunes, it will go back to being jailed and like it was never jailbroken right? I am just very afraid of bricking my phone. thanks
i love steve jobs!
I just upgraded a very old (4 gig) iphone from 1.1.1 jailbroken to 1.1.3
The phone has never been unlocked. I wish to jailbreak - unlock can wait - I am currently an AT&T screwee.
I am at work on a PPC Mac running 10.4.11 (Tiger?).
All of the ziphone methods seem to give me the libSystem.B.dylib Errors.
(Tried mmi gui, ijailbreak gui, and command line from Zibri's site.)
I have an Intel Mac at home (also only on tiger), but I really do feel like I am in jail, and I am anxious to get out. Any Suggestions/help?
Mobile Linux? Got That.

i jaibroke my phone and it was an OTB 1.1.2 and when restroed to 1.1.3 and used the software to activate and jailbreak not unlock because i am an at&t user and I dont want to pay $20 every month. I still dont have service the phone is activated and jailbroken.
Please help.
desperate for help.
Just want to say a big "thank you" for developing this GUI... I had been soft jailbroken for a few weeks, and then tried iJailbreak last night; that left me w/ some issues... I tried this one on a whim, and it was PERFECT (I only needed to jailbreak, not unlock)!!
I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I need someone to answer it I use my iPhone every day, so don't want to brick it
I have a (OTB 1.0.2) unlocked to 1.1.1. Do I need to revirginize it? Or do I just follow that guide (which is the best I've seen for 1.1.3, BTW)...
I have tried every version of ZiPhone on Windows Xp, Vista and Mac OS Leopard 10.5.2
and if i install anything from installer and it restarts the Springboard or if i restart my iPhone it gets jammed with the grey apple logo and the spinning wheel icon for atleast 6 hours!(i restored via iTunes to 1.1.3 jailed&unactivated after 6 hours)
I have an iPhone 1.0.2 OTB with 3.9 bootloader.
I'm going back to the old soft upgrade to 1.1.3 as the ZiPhone method has done nothing for me and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone
You guys are awesome!
I had a unlocked 1.1.1 , I had to update the phone to 1.1.3 then do a restore to 1.1.3 to get it to factory settings. Once that was done I just ran the ZiPhone app to jailbreak and activate. Then I just used installer to install anysim and that was it. Once I had restored to phone to 1.1.3 it took less than 10 mins to do the rest. Would recommend to anyone, couldn't get much easier.
Went back to the older method of updating to 1.1.3 via installer, no problems now. I'd steer clear of ZiPhone if I were you!
Hopefully I just have the permissions wrong....
In WinSCP, everything shows up and works just fine. But when I don't have wifi and try to connect with either iphonelist or iphonebrowser, the only folders that show up are in the mobile directory?
Any ideas?
i have an unlocked and jailbroken 1.02.. from what i understand from this.. all i have to do is upgrade to 1.13 then follow the rest of the steps?
not sure if this happened to anybody else on here, but I downloaded the more recent Ziphone, and activated/unlocked/jailbroke a newer model 8gb and my brother was playing around with my computer and his iphone and updated his unlocked with anysim 1.1 8gb iphone to 1.1.3 and then went to ziphone to jailbreak and activate but clicked unlock/repair by accident, to our surprise ziphone did just that activated/jailbroke/and re-unlocked his otb 1.0.2-->unlocked 1.1.1 with out any problems and all apps including the Findme feature in Google maps... So I figured I'd give it a shot, and sure enough it worked on my OTB 1.1.1 unlocked phone. So I had a 1.1.1 3.9 BL unlocked, Updated via Itunes, Jailbroke/activated/and unlocked with Ziphone and everything works Perfectly. Good job with the ziphone app, it's amazing.
I believe so. If it's not unlocked (that means you use the AT&T sim card) that's surely the only way. I'm still wondering about reverginizing the unlocked phones :/
EDIT: So I've just tried it. I had an unlocked 1.1.1 phone (OTB 1.0.2, BL 3.9), just restored it to 1.1.3 in iTunes, ran ZiPhone and anySim. Seems to have worked.

Awesome - Worked, I have upgrade tow 3.9 BL phones, now on 1.1.3 jailbroken and unlocked. It took about 20min to do both phones. The easiest yet.
