COLUMBUS Derrius Guice Jersey Elite , Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets have a chance Thursday night to win three straight games for the first time since November.
An extended streak couldn't come at a better time for the Blue Jackets (34-28-5) as they fight for their playoff lives during the final month of the regular season. They enter Thursday night's game against the Colorado Avalanche at Nationwide Arena just two points ahead of the Florida Panthers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The game is just as important for the Avalanche (35-24-7), who are trying to keep pace in the Western Conference race. They're just outside the final wild-card spot behind the Los Angeles Kings with 16 games remaining.
Article continues below ...
The Blue Jackets, coming off a three-game West Coast swing, made it two consecutive wins on Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. They survived after having played and won Sunday night at San Jose.
"We find a way to win a game," Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. "I'll be honest with you. As a coach, you get your schedule in July and you look at it and I call them 'we're screwed here Wholesale Taven Bryan Jersey , those type of games.' That's one of them I have circled because it is a tough turnaround coming off a West Coast trip and coming right back and play. I'm thrilled for the guys to find a way."
"That's a we're screwed game that we won. That's really good to get two points out of that."
The Blue Jackets understandably looked sluggish at times after the long trip home, but they persevered against one of the top teams in the league. Artemi Panarin (12 points in the past nine games) scored 16 seconds into the game, Zach Werenski set a franchise record for defensemen with his 13th goal of the season and veteran defenseman Ian Cole, a trade deadline acquisition, added his first goal for the team.
"I think right now, when we're not scoring that many goals Wholesale Kolton Miller Jersey , it's nice when defensemen can contribute and try to help the team win," Werenski said. "We're in a tight playoff race. Every game matters, every point matters, and if I can contribute offensively, I'm going to try to do that."
Even more impressive is the Blue Jackets managed to come through without No. 1 goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who was ill and didn't play. Backup Joonas Korpisalo didn't learn until Tuesday morning that he was starting but was strong in net with 37 saves for his first win since January.
It's not yet known whether Bobrovsky will be available against the Avalanche. The Blue Jackets didn't practice Wednesday.
"It's been a tough last four weeks for me Lorenzo Carter Super Bowl LI Jersey ," said Korpisalo, who was 1-4-0 in his previous five starts. "Every win, every solid game and every time I feel like I help the team helps me a lot."
The Avalanche stymied the Blue Jackets 2-0 on Jan. 4 in Denver in the only meeting between the teams this season. They're coming off a 2-1 overtime loss on the road to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.
"We just need to learn how to put two points together on the road," Avalanche forward Tyson Jost said. "We have to regroup in Columbus."
Semyon Varlamov started in goal in Chicago, but Jonathan Bernier could return Thursday night. He was responsible for the shutout against the Blue Jackets in January.
Colorado forward Sven Andrighetto is also close to returning after missing two months with a lower-body injury.
Nathan MacKinnon produced his 12th power-play goal of the season in the second period against the Blackhawks to extend his points streak to six games (seven goals, six assists). The Avalanche have scored a power-play goal in five consecutive games for the first time since 2015.
"On the ice you can see he's so dominant Quenton Nelson Super Bowl LI Jersey ," Jost said of MacKinnon. "He is a man among boys out there, and he is always someone we can rely on."
Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was happy to pick up a point in Chicago but disappointed with several lapses in concentration that ended up costing his team in its second straight overtime loss. He knows the Blue Jackets will come out firing.
"That's a hard-working hockey team. They're a desperate hockey team," Bednar said of the Blue Jackets. "They're in the exact same position as we are. They're fighting for their playoff lives.
"We're going to have to match their competitiveness, number one, and that's a big key for tomorrow."

[This handwritten story of revenge and mayhem stars and purports to be the work of Chesh. Specifically, that would be Chesh the Plushie.]
Chesh drew his crossbow and scoffed at the dragon's threats.
"Scoff!" said Chesh. "I, Sir Chesh Snuggywums Cutie-Tootie Wubwub Widdle Huggable Longbranch, have the aim of an Exile Spellslinger and the heart of a fierce jungle cat! I also have the Magic Crossbow of Heroic Purpose and Bravery! As you know, this
makes me quite handsome! And deadly."
"Then you will find that plushies can be both flammable… and inflammable!" snarled the dragon.
"Anything can be both flammable and inflammable, dragon jerk!" laughed Chesh. "They mean the same thing!"
"Oh," the dragon mumbled, a bit chagrined, and released a burst of embarrassed smoke. "You mean like 'famous' and 'infamous'? Some knight I scorched called me 'infamous,' and I thanked
him before I boiled him alive in his armor, but now I'm not so sure I did the right thing."
"A truly infamous act!" Chesh agreed. "But that's a bad example. You see, those words both mean 'well-known,' but if you're famous you're well known for good things, and if you're infamous you're well known for bad things."
"Eh, so long as I'm well-known!" the dragon laughed. "And now I'm going to be well-known as the dragon who incinerated Sir
Chesh Snuggywhatevers! Snarl! Roar!"
Chesh drew a bead on the dragon's left eye and smiled. "Here's lookin' at you, jerk."
[Either there's more to this plushie than meets the eye, or Fenosha Longbranch's psyche has taken a beating since the Dominion invaded Arboria and drove the Aurin to Nexus.]

John Stuart Mill

John Stuart Mill
From eatinglv.com
Mill (the younger) was a social theorist, British philosopher and liberal member of Parliament from 1865 to 1868. As the son of James Mill, he was initially educated along the lines of his father's mechanical approach to associationism. John, however, suffered a nervous breakdown at age 20 which he attributed directly to his rigid education (J.S. Mill, Autobiography, 1873). He subsequently sought to emancipated himself both personally and intellectually from this influence.
His best known political work is On Liberty (1859). It argues for personal freedom because such freedom allows creative individuals to better contribute to society. Mill also suggests that since free-market capitalism tends to result in inequity and poverty, society would be better served by adopting some form of liberal socialism.
(Paul F. Ballantyne, Ph.D at comnet.ca)
London: John W. Parker and Son, West Strand
First edition, 1859
From home.wlu.edu
Mill was anyway a notably precocious child, leaning Greek at the age of three. By the age of eight, he had read Aesop's "Fables", Xenophon's "Anabasis", and the whole of Herodotus, and was acquainted with Lucian, Diogenes Laërtius, Isocrates and six dialogues of Plato, as well as arithmetic and a great deal of history in English. At the age of eight he began learning Latin, algebra and Euclid and to teach the younger children of the family. By the age of ten he could read Plato and Demosthenes, and was familiar with all the Latin and Greek authors commonly read in the schools and universities at the time, such as Horace, Virgil, Ovid, Tacitus, Homer, Dionysus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes and Thucydides. In his "spare time", he enjoyed reading about natural sciences and some popular novels (such as "Don Quixote" and "Robinson Crusoe"). One of Mill's earliest poetry compositions was a continuation of the "Iliad".
At about the age of twelve, Mill began a thorough study of scholastic Logic, reading Aristotle's logical treatises in the original language. In the following year he was introduced to political economy and studied the works Adam Smith and David Ricardo (a close friend of his father, who would often discuss economics with the young Mill).
At fourteen, Mill spent a year in the mountains of southern France with the family of Sir Samuel Bentham (Jeremy Bentham's brother), also attending the winter courses on chemistry, zoology and logic of the Faculté des Sciences in Montpellier, as well as taking a course of higher mathematics with a private tutor. He also spent some time in Paris with the renowned French economist Jean-Baptiste Say (1767 - 1832), who was a friend of Mill's father, and met several other notable Parisiens, including the utopian socialist thinker Henri Saint-Simon (1760 - 1825), all through his father's myriad connections.
In 1823, at the age of 17, Mill chose (rather than take Anglican orders from the "white devil" in order to study at Oxford University or Cambridge University) to follow his father to work for the British East India Company. He led a long and active career as an administrator there, rising through the ranks to become the chief of office in 1856, and retiring with a pension in 1858 when the Company's administrative functions in India were taken over by the British government following the Mutiny of 1857.
All his intensive study, however, had had injurious effects on Mill's mental health and state of mind and, in 1826, at the age of twenty, he suffered a nervous breakdown, probably from the great physical and mental arduousness of his studies and the suppression of most normal childhood feelings. This depression eventually began to dissipate, however, with Mill taking solace in the Romantic poetry of Coleridge, Wordsworth and Goethe. He was also introduced around this time to the Positivism of Auguste Comte, which had a strong influence on his future thinking.
He began having articles published in the "Westminster Review" (a journal founded by Bentham and James Mill to propagate Radical views) and in other newspapers and journals including the "Morning Chronicle" and the "Parliamentary History & Review. In 1834, Mill co-founded the Radical journal, the "London Review" with Sir William Molesworth (1810 -1855) and then, two years later, purchased the "Westminster Review" and merged the two journals, using it to support politicians who were advocating further reform of the House of Commons.

In 1851, Mill married Harriet Taylor (on the death of her husband) after over twenty years of intimate friendship. Brilliant in her own right, she was a significant influence on Mill's work and ideas during both friendship and marriage, including his advocacy of women's rights. After only seven years of marriage, though, she died on a trip to Avignon in the south of France in 1858 after developing severe lung congestion. Mill took a house in Avignon in order to be near her grave and thereafter divided his time between there and London.
He became involved with the abolitionist movement against the slave trade (as well as other contemporary reform movements on the prisons, poor laws, etc), and penned a famous rebuttal in 1850 (which came to be known under the title "The Negro Question") to Thomas Carlyle's anonymous letter in defence of slavery.
From 1865 to 1868, Mill served as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Westminster, as well as serving as Lord Rector of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. During his time as an MP, Mill became the first person in Parliament to call for women to be given the right to vote, and advocated easing the burdens on Ireland, as well as working indefatigably for such political and social reforms as proportional representation, labour unions and farm cooperatives.
It was Mill's essay "On Liberty" of 1859 that aroused the greatest controversy and the most violent expressions of approval and disapproval. It addressed the nature and limits of the power that can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual, and he laid down his "one very simple principle" governing the use of coercion in society (whether it be by legal penalties or by the operation of public opinion), arguing that we may only coerce others in self-defence: either to defend ourselves, or to defend others from harm (the so-called "harm principle"). Thus, if an action is self-regarding (i.e. it only directly affects the person undertaking the action), then society has no right to intervene, even if it feels the actor is harming himself. Man is therefore free to do anything unless he harms others, he argued, and individuals are rational enough to make decisions about what is good and also to choose any religion they want.
"On Liberty" also contains an impassioned defence of free speech, arguing that free discourse is a necessary condition for intellectual and social progress, and that we can never be sure that a silenced opinion does not contain some element of the truth. It introduces the concepts of "social liberty" (limits on a ruler's power to prevent him from harming society, requiring that people should have the right to a say in a government's decisions), and also the concept of the "tyranny of the majority" (where the majority oppresses the minority by decisions which could be harmful and wrong sometimes, and against which precautions are needed).
(From philosophybasics.com)
Absolute sovereignty of the majority, and therefore oppression of the minority, is said to be a natural tendency of democracy. John Stuart Mill, in his classic On Liberty, noted that democracies tend to believe that "too much importance had been attached to the limitation of power itself. That . . . was a response against rulers whose interests were opposed to those of the people. Once the people, this is no longer a problem. The nation did not need to be protected against its own will".
A democracy is more than just the rule of the majority. There is no real democracy without the rule of law and protection for human rights, as it is described in previous posts. After all, a tyranny can also have the consent of a majority.
A democratic law is a limited law. Even in a perfect democracy, it is possible to limit the will of the people. The people or the majority of the people cannot exercise their power in an unlimited fashion, otherwise we would not have democracy but the tyranny of the majority. If my rights are violated by a tyrant or by the majority, it is just as bad. The majority can decide and can impose its will on the minority, but this does not mean that the minority has to accept everything, including rights violations. A minority is not entirely powerless in a democracy. It can use its rights and the laws that protect these rights in order to defend itself against certain decisions of the majority.
(From P.A.P. Blog – Human Rights Etc.)
The personal freedoms that Mill so eloquently defends are not however given to us forever. They need constant reaffirmation. The current resurgence of authoritarian government and religious intolerance should make us re-examine "On Liberty" with renewed interest. In Mills own words taken from the introduction to his essay "On Liberty":
"The object of this Essay is to assert one very simple principle to govern the dealings of society with the individual... That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are warranted... in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. … These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any evil, in case he do otherwise. To justify that, the conduct from which it is desired to deter him must be calculated to produce evil to some one else. The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign".
The essay was sparked by the feeling that Mill and his wife, Harriet Taylor, constantly expressed in their letters to one another: that they lived in a society where bold and adventurous individuals were becoming all too rare. Critics have sometimes thought that Mill was frightened by the prospect of a mass democracy in which working-class opinion would be oppressive and perhaps violent. The truth is that Mill was frightened by middle-class conformism much more than by anything to be looked for from an enfranchised working class. It was a fear he had picked up from reading Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America 1836, 1840; America was a prosperous middle-class society, and Mill feared that it was also a society that cared nothing for individual liberty.
Mill lays down "one very simple principle" to govern the use of coercion in society - and by coercion he means both legal penalties and the operation of public opinion; it is that we may only coerce others in self-defence - either to defend ourselves, or to defend others from harm. Crucially, this rules out paternalistic interventions to save people from themselves, and ideal interventions to make people behave "better". It has long exercised critics to explain how a utilitarian can subscribe to such a principle of self-restraint. In essence, Mill argues that only by adopting the self-restraint principle can we seek out the truth, experience the truth as "our own", and fully develop individual selves.
(The Penguin Dictionary of Philosophy, ed. Thomas Mautner at humanists.org.uk)
From P.A.P. Blog
– Human Rights Etc.
Mill argues that despotism is an acceptable form of government for those societies that are "backward", as long as the despot has the best interests of the people at heart, because of the barriers to spontaneous progress. Though this principle seems clear, there are a number of complications. For example, Mill explicitly states that "harms" may include acts of omission as well as acts of commission. Thus, failing to rescue a drowning child counts as a harmful act, as does failing to pay taxes, or failing to appear as a witness in court. All such harmful omissions may be regulated, according to Mill. By contrast, it does not count as harming someone if — without force or fraud — the affected individual consents to assume the risk: thus one may permissibly offer unsafe employment to others, provided there is no deception involved. (Mill does, however, recognize one limit to consent: society should not permit people to sell themselves into slavery). In these and other cases, it is important to keep in mind that the arguments in On Liberty are grounded on the principle of Utility, and not on appeals to natural rights.
The question of what counts as a self-regarding action and what actions, whether of omission or commission, constitute harmful actions subject to regulation, continues to exercise interpreters of Mill. It is important to emphasize that Mill did not consider giving offense to constitute "harm"; an action could not be restricted because it violated the conventions or morals of a given society. The idea of 'offense' causing harm and thus being restricted was later developed by Joel Feinberg in his 'offense principle' essentially an extension of J.S.Mill's 'harm principle'.
On Liberty involves an impassioned defense of free speech. Mill argues that free discourse is a necessary condition for intellectual and social progress. We can never be sure, he contends, that a silenced opinion does not contain some element of the truth. He also argues that allowing people to air false opinions is productive for two reasons. First, individuals are more likely to abandon erroneous beliefs if they are engaged in an open exchange of ideas. Second, by forcing other individuals to re-examine and re-affirm their beliefs in the process of debate, these beliefs are kept from declining into mere dogma. It is not enough for Mill that one simply has an unexamined belief that happens to be true; one must understand why the belief in question is the true one.
Mill believed that "the struggle between Liberty and Authority is the most conspicuous feature in the portions of history." For him, liberty in antiquity was a "contest... between subjects, or some classes of subjects, and the government." Mill defined "social liberty" as protection from "the tyranny of political rulers." He introduces a number of different tyrannies, including social tyranny, and also the tyranny of the majority.

The heroic photojournalist that is responsible for this incredible iconic photo
has been missing since Wednesday. He is believed to have been arrested.
UPDATE: He has been released!

There is one right that every human being on this planet has, that can only be taken away by death.

This one right, at it's most extreme, takes the most courage to exercise but can cause the biggest changes. It's powerful and those with power fear when people feel compelled to use it.

It is the right to say "No", a word that exists in every language and is usually among the first words a child learns to speak. It is a word more powerful than tanks, or guns, or bombs, and when combined with the voices of many others, shouting it in unison, it is possible to wage war and win, without ever striking or attacking with any other weapon.

Citizens of Iran, keep saying "No"!

Whatever it is that the government wants, keep saying "No", unless and until it is what YOU want.

You can and will win, as long as you keep saying "No".

Do not allow yourselves to be silenced.

Keep saying "No"!

We are all familiar with the type of censorship that occurs on the radio with songs containing swear words being bleeped or blanked out. Plenty of artists have been subjected to this, and it seemed that no artist or swear word was immune to this type of censorship in America...except one.

Ever since the release of "The Dark Side of the Moon" back in 1973, Pink Floyd has been oddly immune to the same type of censorship that has victimized every other artist.

In their song "Money", there is a line that goes like this:

Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.

Never, since the 70's, when I first heard the song on the radio on 95.5 WPLJ New York (back when they had an album rock format), have I ever heard that song censored. I have heard it a million times over the years and heard "bullshit" in it, clear as day, each and every time.

The Almighty Pink Floyd, was allowed to openly say what other artists could not.

I do not know why...maybe it was out of respect. Maybe it was just overlooked (doubtful), but they were allowed to swear as much as they wanted.

Even the song "Pigs", which contained the following lyric, was never censored:

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are.

Yesterday afternoon that all changed.

For the first time in my life, I heard "bullshit" blanked out in "Money" on 101.9 WRXP New York. That station did what no radio station ever dared to do before. They censored Pink Floyd!

Omgwtfbbq!!!11one-eleventy-eleven!
Shameful! Shameful! Shameful!

They not only totally ruined my listening pleasure, they ruined my day, as well. This has been bothering me for the last 10 hours. How dare they censor a song that has always been allowed to stand in it's entire artistic majesty, on the public airwaves, for well over 30 years!

I am still in shock...stunned.

They are an awesomely fantastic radio station (you can listen to their stream and check them out for yourself), BUT...this incident is going to linger with me, bugging the hell out of me, for a long time.

How dare they!Apphttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-25540746782581379202008-07-05T11:30:00.010-04:002008-12-11T02:24:12.763-05:00Freedom Sandwich
Yesterday, on the anniversary of America's indepencence, I wanted to write a piece on freedom, but kind of got stuck.

At first I wanted to write about the countries that still are not free, like China, where bloggers are now resorting to writing backwards in order to beat censorship and report about what is really going on behind the Great Firewall.

Or perhaps focusing on who is and isn't totally free yet.

Then thinking about the US, the myth of freedom here, and the reality that we aren't totally free as some may believe, maybe focusing on why we are not free, as this report may explain.

Or go more in depth about the freedom of the press, and what responsibilities come along with it in relation to self-censorship and its ethical and moral implications, focusing on the list of censored news stories.

Or perhaps a piece on economic freedom and what organizations like The Green Children Foundation are doing to help people living in third world countries overcome poverty, while still keeping their dignity, in the form of microcredit loans.

Or perhaps how the price of oil can threaten democracy in places where the whole concept of freedom is still fairly new and still on shakey ground. The article is from 2006, when the price of oil was much lower than it is now, so most likely the situation is much worse today than it was at the time the article was written.

Or artistic and educational freedom, and focus on books that have been banned throughout history, for one reason or another.

Or psychological freedom, and how the fear of failure holds so many people back and prevents them from living up to their full potential. (Unfortunately, something I have first-hand experience with)

Or the desire for financial freedom, and the rising number of "get rich on the internet by blogging about how to make money blogging" websites that are popping up every day.

Or freedom of information, and the threat of censorship from ISP's and their desire to do away with net neutrality to boost profits, cut costs, and control what you see and do on the internet, and decide who can and will be able to profit online.

Since I couldn't make up my mind as to what direction I wanted to go with this freedom piece, I decided to give you a little slice of everything I was thinking about yesterday, just in time for lunch.

Enjoy your "freedom sandwich".

This is not a post about Ron Paul, although it could be seen as one. This more about bias in the media and how it can affect an entire country, more than anything else. Read through to the end and take a look at the rest of the censorship, that has nothing to do with Ron Paul, to understand the full effect of what is going on.

The American people have been deprived of the truth by the mainstream media.

Because they see Ron Paul is a threat to their corporate interests, the mainstream media has gone out of their way to bury anything positive about Ron Paul, misrepresent the facts, deprive him of equal treatment in media coverage, exclude him from debates, polls, and reporting.

They have gone out of their way to silence Ron Paul's supporters by deleting their comments from news sites, misrepresenting the number of supporters present in official news photos of various political events.

The list of their biased atrocities goes on & on.

The following videos will show you exactly what has been going on.

Are you angry yet? Why not? What makes this fair treatment of a Presidential candidate?

Even if you don't agree with Ron Paul's message and what he stands for, you should agree with his right to be heard. You should agree with equal treatment of candidates. You should agree with unbiased news reporting.

The American people have the right to know the truth. They have the right to have each candidate treated fairly and equally by the media. It should be left up to the citizens to decide the results of the next election...not the mainstream media companies.

If they have done this with Ron Paul, what else have they done this with?

Let's see...

How about this for starters: Project Censored's 2008 Top 25 Censored News Stories

That's one hell of a scary list!

It really makes you wonder who exactly is in charge of this country and what plans they have for YOU.

Stella McCartney Named in Queen's List
Cue the champagne. Stella McCartney—legendary English fashion designer and daughter of former Beatle Paul McCartney—has been named to Queen Elizabeth's New Year Honors List for 2013. McCartney has had quite a year, from designing the uniforms for team GB at the 2012 Olympics to receiving the award for Designer of the Year in the U.K. But the Queen's list is an even bigger deal, recognizing the service and achievements of extraordinary people in the United Kingdom. A Happy New Year, indeed.

Given that for two weeks in a row The Guardian's kakuro has been hard, I'm beginning to wonder that they rotate them so that Thursday's is always hard. I will have to borrow some of dad's papers next weekend and do some more easy ones - I'll have to work my way up to hard. I've still got about four Sudokus left (out fo 16) from the Christmas puzzle G2. I'm determined to finish them but they are so boring!
I am confused at the crossword though. One of the clues describes a pavlova. But with 11 letters. After filling in the rest I googled in case I was wrong, but not. From the letters I had it had to be pavlovacake, and dad confirmed that from Friday's paper, but I have never heard it called that. It's quite weird.
I amazed myself the other day. I am pretty much to the point of needing a story betaed - another Langford U fic - and I only started it on the 3rd. And if that wasn't amazing enough, it's 4000 words. It's only one scene! I'm feeling guilty that it's not anything I should be writing, but I am at least writing something, which is an improvement on recently at least.

A smart mom would say, 'Less frequent than PTAs but more regular than annual spring breaks.'
And she's right. The rule of thumb remains the same worldwide. We should visit our dentists at least twice a year. This may work fine with some people, but for others with gum diseases or are predisposed to cavities and plaque formation, they may have to schedule dental visits more often to keep their teeth and mouth healthy.
Going to the dentist should not always be a cry for help. Oral health is not much different from the rest of our bodies.
Dr. Dheeraj is categorically & unequivocally by far the best endodontist in the region. He is truly phenomenal. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is outstanding, he scores an easy 13. There was no hint and the experience has destroyed my dentophobia.
– Mr Richard
Dental health goes far more than toothaches and pain. The mouth is just like a big city.
A lot of things can happen and go wrong. Regular visits will let your dentist check for problems that you can't see or even feel. Allowing them to look for early signs of tooth decay or other oral diseases gives you a stronger chance of fighting or preventing them before they get worse.
Now is always a good time. Don't wait until it hurts.
Call The Dental Roots +91-9891255501 (Gurgaon Center), +91-9650440004 (South Delhi Center) when you're due for your next dental check-up. You can also book an appointment online
This is my best teeth whitening ever. The process is very smooth and the staff are extremely professional and caring. I would rate this as an A+ experience for a dental office.

There is a certain TV broadcast that always starts with a preacher's voice booming out, "Today is the beginning of the rest of your life." This line always catches my attention, not only because the preacher's voice rings out so loud, but also because it is so true. It makes me stop and think about the rest of my life. There are benefits to taking one day at a time, yes, but assuming I'm going to live very long, am I living today like it's the beginning of the rest of my very long life? What am I doing today to make sure the rest of my life is as I would like it to turn out. How much importance do I attach to today as the day that starts the rest of my life?
Waking up this morning, I didn't think anything out of the ordinary would come of today. I had supposed I would get my scheduled work done, and that would be it. But sometimes, the most ordinary of days may turn out to be relatively special.
Today I travelled again to the clinical trial site with an external monitor hired to audit our vaccine accountability. I'm pharmacist on a multidisciplinary team conducting this really interesting clinical trial which we hope will break ground in malaria therapy, and immensely reduce infant and maternal deaths worldwide. The journey to the clinical trial site is roughly a 3 hours ride, which is ample time to either be driven nuts by your travel companion or strike an interesting conversation that may open doors of opportunity. Lucky for me, it was the latter.

Independent voters dissatisfied with Obama, think country is on wrong track
Yesterday, I blogged about why the independent vote matters, particularly in swing states. Today, I had the chance to look at Resurgent Republic's memorandum documenting the trends behind President Obama's support is collapsing among these group of voters.
The authors date the decline back to the early days of the Obama administration when his big-spending proposals began to raise eyebrows across the nation, particularly given an electorate "closer to the GOP on fiscal issues." And during the campaign, they report that Romney has enjoyed a consistent lead among independent voters 00 even before the debates, Their movement toward the Republican accelerated in October. At the same time, they moved away from Obama at a considerable pace.
By "a 20-point margin, 56 to 36 percent", independents "believe it's time for someone else to be president". Fewer that 40% of those surveyed approve of Obama's record on the economy.
Meanwhile, independents have an increasingly favorable view of Mitt Romney, with 54% now having a positive feeling about the Republican nominee. Nearly an identical percentage, 53%, have an unfavorable opinion of the incumbent.
54% disapprove of Obama's performance, with more (far more) than twice as many strongly disapproving as strongly approving. And those with strong feelings are far more likely to vote. On the top issue on voters' minds, 60% disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, with 49% strongly disapproving.
64% believe the economy has been "on the wrong track for almost the entire tenure of President Obama."
Things don't look good for the president with independent voters. Will that be the deciding factor in the election? We won't know until next week, but as one electoral prognosticator put it, "the party that loses the contest has also lost independent voters."

I am not an Independent but I think the economy is a huge motivator right now.
I think Romney proved he was capable and the floodgates opened.
I honestly think the vast majority of undecideds were wavering between Romney and not voting-I think most of them had already decided they couldn't pull the lever for Obama.
They were looking for confirmation that they could vote for Romney and he gave them that.

It's turn out. Volunteer. Phonebank. Even if you are in a solid blue or solid red state, do it.
I'm doing it. (It's either that or thorazine on IV.)

[…] Like many conservatives covering the race, Jay Cost considers the internals of the polls, focusing, as we have done, on the independent vote. He observes, that in the last thirty years, party identification has reached near parity, with independents increasingly tilting toward Romney (as per this post). […]

Fascinating, if uneven, debut thriller that links Wall Street treachery to international terrorism.
Credit debut author Conway, pseudonym for a hedge fund insider and an ad firm global strategy planner, for a premise that layers the threat of international terrorism onto the world's considerable anxieties over a global economic collapse. It's a double whammy that, as Conway lays it out, seems plausible. The notion is that far darker villains than Bernie Madoff may lurk about Wall Street, namely international terrorists who seek to bring the country down through financial disaster. A glimmer of what's afoot first appears to Drew Havens, "a CUNY-educated nobody" crunching numbers for Citibank in Long Island City. Havens is spotted by Wall Street shark Rick Salvado, who admires Havens' crack ability to spot stocks ripe for short selling (some readers may need a tutorial to follow the author's complicated expositions on this topic). Following Havens' canny insights, Salvado's firm, Rising Fund, soars. Havens soon finds the work distasteful and wants out. About to bail, he's alerted by Danny Weiss, a co-worker, that Rising Fund is involved is some peculiar, suspicious trades. Then Weiss is rubbed out, leaving behind several coded messages that Havens endeavors to decipher. In Hong Kong, meanwhile, another trader is taken out just as he, too, made a series of trades in computer stocks. That murder brings onto the scene Cara Sobieski, who, as part of the newly formed Terrorism and Financial Intelligence task force, suspects that some sort of Wall Street jihad approaches—a possibility Havens also suspects as he begins to understand Weiss' cryptic jottings and as other murders of traders follow. Conway effectively links Havens' and Sobieski's personal lives to their careers, giving the characterizations texture. Divorced and racked by family tragedy, Havens seeks solace in statistics. After a series of failed relationships, Sobieski turns to promiscuous sex. Alas, their troubles play out in scenes that, hampered by clichés and stilted dialogue, often go thud.
Sure to unsettle readers who check their investments 10 times a day.

It's the season for chestnuts - they are hiding somewhere under the trees,
bringing a cozy autumn atmosphere.
you fell
complete, polished wood, gleaming mahogany,
as perfect
as a violin newly
born of the treetops,
that falling
offers its sealed-in gifts,
the hidden sweetness
that grew in secret
amid birds and leaves,
a model of form,
kin to wood and flour,
an oval instrument
that holds within it
intact delight, an edible rose.
the sea-urchin burr
that parted its spines
in the light of the chestnut tree;
through that slit
you glimpsed the world,
bursting with syllables,
the heads of boys
and girls,
grasses stirring restlessly,
smoke rising, rising.
chestnut, and leaped to earth,
burnished and ready,
firm and smooth
as the small breasts
of the islands of America.
you struck
the ground,
nothing happened,
the grass
still stirred, the old
chestnut sighed with the mouths
of a forest of trees,
a red leaf of autumn fell,
resolutely, the hours marched on
across the earth.
Because you are
a seed,
chestnut tree, autumn, earth,
water, heights, silence
prepared the germ,
the floury density,
the maternal eyelids
that buried will again
open toward the heights
the simple majesty of foliage,
the dark damp plan
of new roots,
the ancient but new dimensions
of another chestnut tree in the earth.
... When we meet under the chestnut trees, we know that the fall is here!

The New Dawn Association of El Salvador, (La Asociacion Nuevo Amanecer de El Salvador, ANADES) emerged in 1986 out of a women's movement in the Christian base community of Zacamil. The women has a desire to transform the suffering and pain of the Civil War into hope and strength. They organized themselves to care for those most vulnerable in the country: the children orphaned because of the military repression. In 1989, they began a program of solidarity for those who were caring for these children, giving them food, clothes, medicine and scholarships to study.
In the following year, ANADES became legally recognized as a Salvadoran non-for-profit organization and was able to open its doors to the first group of 33 children to live and study in the home of Carmen Broz, one of the women of the community, while they began to build the infrastructure for the orphanage. By the time the construction was completed, the war had ended and family members of the orphaned children returned. Therefore, it was no longer necessary to have the center function as an orphanage, so they re-evaluated and decided to have it function as a child development center with the name Centro Hogar Alfonso Acevedo.
Soon after the education program began in 1992, the association expanded its mission to include a health program, originally designed to provide medical attention to the children and also to people in the local community. This program is still in existence with a focus in natural medicine and community health.
In 1996, ANADES also transformed the original solidarity program from one of charitable assistance to families to one of economic development of women of limited resources and gave it the name of the Productive Initiative Project. It is still in function today, but its focus has broadened to include both men and women of rural communities in several departments of El Salvador.
Throughout the years, the spirit of the founding women and Salvadoran martyrs such as Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero and Alfonso Acevedo, has inspired others to dedicate their lives to justice, accompanying the poor and suffering, and improving the harsh reality and limited opportunities. With this motivation the association has grown into 4 main branches: five early education centers throughout the country, community development and organizing in rural and urban areas, two health care clinics, and sustainability through produce from an organic farm.

When Startup Canada issued a national challenge to entrepreneurs and enterprise organizations to help mentor 10,000 Canadians during Global Entrepreneurship Week, it wanted to turn heads and showcase the value mentorship can have on both local and national levels.
Today, as Startup Canada names British Columbia's Women's Enterprise Centre as its 2012 Canadian Mentorship Challenge winner for overall reach, impact and inspiration, Laurel Douglas hopes this is just the start of something big for BC entrepreneurs.
"One of the takeaways I got from this is that we're going to have to host more events," said Douglas, CEO of Women's Enterprise Centre, from the organization's head office in Kelowna. "There's a pent up demand for mentoring."
She noted that within BC, 36% of the province's small business owners are women, yet studies have shown female entrepreneurs have a harder time accessing capital and growing their ventures. From November 13 – 16, more than 4,500 entrepreneurs across BC were engaged in activities hosted by Women's Enterprise Centre, including a speed mentoring activity, a mentor panel discussion, one-to-one mentoring sessions, two Twitter chats, a Facebook 'Ask the Expert' event, a phone-in mentor advisory forum, plus several blog posts and an eNews issue focused on mentoring.
"When we heard about this contest, we wanted to profile and acknowledge our dedicated volunteers who are really invested in helping each other," said Douglas, adding the timing is critical as WEC is waiting on news of its provincial funding for this year.
With offices in Kelowna, Vancouver and Victoria, Women's Enterprise Centre offers skills development, business loans, and other resource services to more than 137,000 women business owners in BC. Women's Enterprise Centre also hosts a network of more than 150 mentors across the province.
"Our mentor program is so well-established and so strong. We've been told by people that when they get approved to enter our mentoring program, it's like winning the lottery – that's how much they value our program," Douglas said.
The mentees aren't the only ones who win.
"I like being a mentor in the program because it's all about giving and receiving," said Trisha Miltimore, one of the mentors at the speed mentoring event in Kelowna last week. "Also, I get to spend time with some fabulous women who inspire me as much as I hopefully inspire them."
For Victoria-based entrepreneur Robyn Quinn, she discovered a new resource base through her Women's Enterprise Centre peer mentoring group.
"It was a wonderful experience because it was essentially a de facto Board of Directors for those of us who were working on our own and often dealing with fairly complex issues and challenges in the business, and didn't really have anyone we could trust to go to," said Quinn, a communications consultant.
Anecdotes like Miltimore's and Quinn's were echoed across the country during the Canadian Mentorship Challenge. Co-hosted by Startup Canada, CATAAlliance and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, the campaign saw hundreds of community groups from coast to coast step up to engage thousands of Canadians, from aspiring entrepreneurs looking for advice to serial startup founders with stories from the trenches.
"Last week went above and beyond our expectations," said Victoria Lennox,Co-Founder of Startup Canada. "Canada's entrepreneur community really embraced it and I think that speaks to the impact and value mentorship has for everyone involved."
The timing of the Challenge with Global Entrepreneurship Week was an excellent fit, noted Tessa Mintz, VP, Volunteers and Programs, Canadian Youth Business Foundation.
"Combined with the discussions and sharing on social media, this truly demonstrates that Canadians who support entrepreneurship are living the philosophy that we're all in this together," said Mintz. "The Canadian Youth Business Foundation looks forward to working with Startup Canada and our partners across Canada towards Global Entrepreneurship Week 2013."
Canadian Women in Technology (CanWIT), a division of CATAAlliance, saw an increase in sign-ups for its eMentorship program during the Challenge.
"CanWIT was so pleased to partner with Startup Canada on this significant initiative," said Emily Boucher, Executive Director, CanWIT. "In the spirit of the Great Canadian Mentorship Challenge and the recognition that mentorship matters, we hope the number of both mentors and mentees continues to increase. We look forward to participating again next year!"
While Women's Enterprise Centre claimed the winner's title, other front-runner events in the Canadian Mentorship Challenge were:
- MentorCity's Shark's Pond (Toronto, ON) – Seneca College hosted nearly 500 attendees for a Dragon's Den-like event. Hatem Jabshan, the CEO of Steeped Tea and a recent Dragon's Den success story, gave a keynote talk and student entrepreneurs pitched their business ideas to the "Sharks", many of whom were Seneca graduates.
- Startup Weekend Québec City (Québec City, QC) – This event brought together 74 participants and 22 mentors to form teams and launch startups in just 54 hours. The final pitches were live-streamed to nearly 200 people and many of the Startup Weekend participants have enrolled in the "NEXT Quebec" program to launch the business ideas created at the event.
- Invest Ottawa Mentor Madness (Ottawa, ON) – Invest Ottawa kicked off Global Entrepreneurship Week in the nation's capital with Mentor Madness which saw 40 entrepreneurs and 40 Mentors participate in a speed mentoring event. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with mentors identifying 82 follow-up requests.
Startup Canada also gave honourary mentions to the York Region Small Business Club's #YRSBizMC #MentorsCAN Tweetup event in Richmond Hill, ON for its strong social media reach; and to the Colchester Regional Development Association (CoRDA) for hosting its inaugural Mentoring Breakfast event in Truro, NS to match local entrepreneurs with mentors.
Other notable events in the Challenge were the entries from the New Brunswick Business Council (Meals with Moguls), TiE Vancouver (Storming the Beach: Finding Product Market Fit), the University of Alberta Nanotechnology Group (ACS Building Blocks Mixer), Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan (Mentor or Be Mentored: Either Way You're A Winner), Ethos Mentorship 2.0, and MaRS Discovery District ('Meet the Entrepreneurs' – Entrepreneurship 101).
"Having such a diverse collection of communities participate in the Challenge has demonstrated how broad of a spectrum there is for mentorship opportunities across the country," said Irenia Roussel, one of the Mentorship Challenge Directors. "Each community has different and unique challenges and given this was a pilot project, we have identified a number of areas where we can enhance this Challenge for an even larger audience next year."
Moaz Mohammed, another Mentorship Challenge Director, has been on both sides of a mentor relationship – first as a mentee early in his career, and now as a mentor to others.
"From that experience, I saw that mentoring has a deep impact on where a person takes their career and their life and it's really important to have a strong mentor in your life," said Mohammed. "I think one of the greatest impacts of the Challenge was that it allowed a lot of the participating organizations to come together on one platform and see what everyone else is doing and really showcase how important mentoring is for businesses and individuals."
Startup Canada also used the Canadian Mentorship Challenge to recognize Canada's Top 10 Mentor Rock Stars, nominated for their contributions of volunteer work and leadership development in their communities. Startup Kitchen, an entrepreneur-led TV show on Bell Aliant Community One TV, joined in the Challenge by profiling the Mentor Rock Stars through a series of short video interviews.
Clarity brought an international spin to the Challenge by partnering with Startup Canada to connect Canadian entrepreneurs with its global network of experts via a customized Startup Canada page. Startup Canada's national partners, Microsoft Bizspark, Business Development Bank of Canada, Gowlings, and Ernst & Young, also hosted mentorship-themed events last week during the Challenge.
This article was commissioned by Startup Canada and published in partnership with The Star. For more information on all the events and individuals showcased during the Canadian Mentorship Challenge last week, you can visit www.mentorshipchallenge.ca or www.startupcan.ca

Warehousing and Fulfilment Services in Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan home county. The ceremonial county's largest town is Milton Keynes, although it has its own unitary authority and so does not come under any county council control. The county town is instead Aylesbury; while the county council's administrative area is divided into the districts of Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe.
Click on the FIND SPACE logo to find suitable warehouse space that can offer you pallet storage, order fulfilment and pick & pack services in Buckinghamshire. Alternatively call us on 0800 1707 555 for assistance.
Find Warehouse Space & Pallet Storage in Buckinghamshire
It's close proximity to London means Buckinghamshire is well served by a number of major transport links. Four motorways pass through the county – the M40 (to High Wycombe and Beaconsfield in the south), the M1 (to Milton Keynes in the north), the M25 and the M4 – as do four important A roads – notably the A40, which continues into central London. The West Coast, Great Central, Chiltern and Great Western Main Lines all pass through the county, along with the Princes Risborough to Aylesbury, Marston Vale and Marlow Branch Lines.
The currently under development Crossrail service should be linked to Ivers from 2017.
By the same card, however, the lack of commuters heading to London in that direction means there are few major road links between the north and the south of Buckinghamshire.

Upon this lego brick, Father Bob Simon, has built his Church. Father Simon, a pastor at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Moscow, Pennsylvania, built a extraordinarily detailed replica of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome using around 500,000 individual bricks.
Fr. Simon started collecting blocks about two years before he began the building process. Planning completion to coincide with Pope Francis's visit to Philadelphia, he began building in September 2014.
The sculpture is impressively accurate depicting a bustling Saint Peter's Square incorporating Bernini's colonnades, The Statues of Saints, the Vatican Obelisk, and a large a group of figurines from The Swiss Guard, Priests, Nuns and Religious, to tourists, pickpockets and Elvis. There is of course the Pope himself, waving from the window of the Papal Apartment.
Fr. Simon compared the building process to the repetitive motion of praying the Holy Rosary. "While your hands are busy, your heart and mind are elsewhere," he said. "It frees up the mind." The lego sculpture will be displayed at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute's "Vatican Splendors" exhibition, which runs through February. Bernini would be proud.

New Force on Wall Street: The 'Family Office'
Clans with nine-figure fortunes are increasingly investing through unregulated firms known as family offices, impinging on the business of investment banking and private equity
Updated March 10, 2017
by Anupreeta Das & Juliet Chung
On a warm October day in 2014, envoys from 15 of America's wealthiest families gathered at Circle T, Ross Perot Jr.'s 2,500-acre ranch outside Dallas. Skeet-shooting was on the agenda, but the real purpose of the two-day retreat was for the families to get acquainted and eventually team up to pursue investments.
From that exclusive gathering, attended by people investing the fortunes of Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires, sprang a broader network of 150 families that have since participated in more than 10 deals together, including acquisitions.
Such transactions traditionally were the province of big companies or private-equity firms. But a disruptive force has emerged on Wall Street: the family office. These entities, set up to manage the fortunes of the wealthy, and able to operate under the radar, are making their presence felt with their growing numbers, fat wallets and hunger for deals.
"We're all just starting to recognize that we should be a more important part of the investment world than we historically have been as a group," said Kenny Springfield, an executive at Perot Investments, which handles the multibillion-dollar Perot fortune and hosted the Dallas get-together.
Wealthy families have always found ways to protect and build their money, and the savvier among them have pursued their own business deals, from acquiring farmland to seeding hedge funds to buying companies. Today their ranks are ballooning, and many, put off by the high fees and sometimes weak performances of Wall Street money managers, are shifting to investments they can pursue directly through family offices.
The offices are alternately linking up with buyout firms and competing against those firms to do acquisitions. They are providing financing to startups. They are buying distressed debt, real estate and esoteric insurance products. They are lending to companies and occasionally going into battle with companies as activist shareholders.
To do so, family offices are poaching talent from Wall Street. Among such hires, Thomas Pritzker, the billionaire chairman of Hyatt Hotels Corp., in 2015 recruited Joseph Gleberman, a senior banker in Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s private-equity division, to help run his family office. On Tuesday, Mr. Pritzker's family office and two other wealthy investors agreed to buy Hargray Communications Group Inc., a Hilton Head Island, S.C.-based cable operator, from private equity firm Quadrangle Capital Partners. The group, which includes the family firms of Arkansas banker Warren Stephens and Jim Davis, a co-founder of staffing company Allegis Group Inc., will pay $700 million in cash, according to people familiar with the matter.
"Family offices are becoming more institutional in their approach," said Chuck Stutenroth of U.S. Bank's Ascent Private Capital Management unit, which works with family offices. He calls them "insti-viduals."
For clans with at least $250 million in assets to invest, family offices have become the preferred vehicle through which to put their money to work, because they afford complete control and near-secrecy. They don't have to register with federal regulators as long as they limit their investment advice to descendants of a common ancestor within 10 generations, plus others such as key employees, adopted children and former spouses. Names of most family offices don't include the family's name.
Oprah has one
Hedge-fund manager William Ackman and Google co-founder Sergey Brin have family offices. Billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch last year started one, named 1888 Management LLC, to manage a small portion of their estimated $86 billion in combined net worth. Oprah Winfrey has OW Management LLC.
"Everybody wealthy seems to want to have their family office," said David Rubenstein, co-founder of private-equity giant Carlyle Group LP, on an investor call last year. Mr. Rubenstein, who once paid $21 million for a copy of the Magna Carta, is considering one for his own family, people familiar with the matter said.
The wealthiest families are commanding fresh attention from investment banks such as Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., which in recent years have appointed senior bankers to cover family offices. Families' appetite for investing directly into companies rather than through funds has pushed private-equity firms to invite them to be minority deal partners. Family offices have also been among those pushing hedge funds, in which they are big investors, to reduce fees.
Tracking the number of family offices isn't easy, since they don't have to register. A study by accounting firm EY said there are more than 10,000 globally, about half set up in the past 15 years. Robert Casey, senior managing director of research at Chicago-based consultancy Family Wealth Alliance LLC, has estimated the U.S. has 3,000 family offices with more than $1.2 trillion in assets.
The offices proliferate partly because of a surge in global wealth in recent decades, traceable in part to high levels of merger activity and initial public offerings. The number of billionaires in the world rose 6.4% in 2015 to a record 2,473, according to data provider Wealth-X. It says their collective wealth reached nearly $7.7 trillion.
"It used to take 100 years to make $100 million, but that process has been sped up" by entrepreneurs in Wall Street, Silicon Valley and elsewhere, said Dominic Samuelson, chief executive of Campden Wealth Ltd., which connects wealthy families with one another.
Campden's research shows family offices hold assets of more than $4 trillion. That approaches the cumulative $5.7 trillion of private-equity firms and hedge funds, as estimated by data provider Preqin, though there is overlap because family offices sometimes invest in private-equity and hedge funds.
Carol Bernick's family wealth stems from hair-care company Alberto Culver Co., built by her father. Ms. Bernick said her family created an office in 2002 to manage assets outside of their stake in Alberto Culver. It had no formal name and just one employee.
Four years later, Alberto Culver spun off a beauty-supply business, adding to the family's cash hoard, and then in 2011 Alberto Culver was sold to Unilever PLC for $3.7 billion. Assets of the family office, given the name of Polished Nickel Capital Management LLC, swelled. It now has 14 employees and invests in companies alongside other families and private-equity firms. Ms. Bernick is its CEO.
Since 2011, roughly three dozen hedge funds have converted into family offices after returning their clients' money, according to a Wall Street Journal tally. Soros Fund Management was among them. Mr. Soros cited increasing regulation as one reason. U.S. regulators require hedge-fund firms with more than $150 million in assets to disclose their strategies and how much they manage.
Energy trader John Arnold turned his focus to his family office and to philanthropy in 2012 after closing his hedge fund, Centaurus Energy Master Fund. Six months ago, his family office invested alongside a Goldman Sachs unit and some pension funds in Bass Pro Shops' $4.5 billion buyout of outdoor-sports gear seller Cabela's Inc. The deal is yet to close.
"Where can we capture outsize returns and protect our capital? The only way to do that is in the private world," said Allen Gibson, who oversees investments for Mr. Arnold's family office. Mr. Gibson said he invests most of the multibillion-dollar fortune in direct deals designed not to perform in lockstep with the stock market.
Family-office networks such as the one set up by Perot Investments are springing up to help families strike private-equity-style "club deals" and discuss investing strategies. The Perot group consists mostly of families with at least $1 billion, including the family offices of Messrs. Bloomberg and Soros, people familiar with the matter said. Perot family office executives said they hatched the idea after having to pass on a deal that needed more cash than they were willing to put up.
Family offices are "as quiet as you possibly could find, and they're writing extremely large checks," said Ward McNally, a great-great grandson of Andrew McNally, who co-founded atlas publisher Rand McNally in 1856.
The McNallys set up a family office after Rand McNally was sold in 1997 to private equity. In 2008, Mr. McNally established a new firm, McNally Capital LLC, that uses funds from his family and from a network of roughly 800 families globally to invest in companies together. Mr. McNally says he met with about 300 families last year, and every single one was interested in doing direct deals.
When private-equity firm BC Partners closed a $2 billion deal in November to buy several dozen data centers from CenturyLink Inc., its partners included Longview Asset Management. Longview is a family office for Chicago's Crown family, whose estimated $7 billion fortune comes partly from a stake in General Dynamics Corp.
In another deal, Hillspire LLC, a family office that manages more than $5 billion for Eric Schmidt, the chairman of Google parent Alphabet Inc., bought a fifth of hedge fund D.E. Shaw Group in 2014 for about $500 million.
Family-backed investors own all or part of luxury brands such as Jimmy Choo and Four Seasons Holdings Inc. and trendy consumer ones such as the parent of packaged coconut-water company Vita Coco.
Revealing their ownership is rare, but some family offices have drawn attention to themselves by launching activist campaigns.
In May, the family office of David Bonderman, a founding partner of private equity firm TPG Capital, criticized the management of Sorrento Therapeutics Inc., a cancer-drug company in which the family office owned a stake. Wildcat Capital Management LLC urged Sorrento's board to make a variety of changes that included firing the CEO. Soon after, Sorrento hired advisers to explore "strategic alternatives."
Bankers take notice
Goldman Sachs bankers last year started paying more attention to family offices after realizing they were losing out on merger deals involving such offices. Starting with a list of 750 potential targets, they whittled the number to 27 families they thought had the interest and wherewithal to buy companies outright.
"We treat these family offices the same way we treat [buyout firms such as] Bain or Advent," said Alison Mass, co-head of an investment-banking group at Goldman Sachs.
Among families Wall Street is eyeing are Quadrant Capital Advisors, a $14 billion New York firm that invests on behalf of Colombia's Santo Domingo family and Fremont Group, which invests the construction-related wealth of the Bechtel family, bankers say.
Buyout firms Blackstone Group LP and KKR & Co. have executives who woo families with specialized investing opportunities. Some private-equity shops offer funds that invest for longer than the usual private-equity time frame, and co-investing options.
KKR co-CEOs Henry Kravis and George Roberts asked every employee to come up with five wealthy families the firm could tap for business as the firm looked to kick-start its effort. KKR now counts several hundred wealthy families as clients, up from virtually none in 2010, said Jim Burns, who leads its individual-investor business.
"It's an ocean of wealth," Mr. Burns said.

2 March 2018
Hundreds of thousands of sterile fruit flies will drop from the sky over the Adelaide region today kicking off a bold plan to reduce the numbers of an endemic pest.
Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources David Littleproud said the sterile flies would reduce Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) numbers because the flies they mate with will not be able to reproduce.
"The new sterile insect technology (SIT) could be a game changer for Australian horticulture," Minister Littleproud said.
"Less fruit flies equals more fruit with less pesticide, great crops and profits for farmers.
"More profit for farmers means they spend more money in town which creates more regional jobs.
"While SIT has been effective in California and Guatemala, this project is breaking new ground with some of Australia's leading fruit fly experts on board.
"This trial is the first step in the process, trialling the equipment used to deploy the flies from a plane, following the extensive baiting and trapping to ensure its effectiveness.
"A release of two million male sterile fruit flies is planned for April to combat recent incursions in South Australia.
"Sustainable management of Qfly is vital to Australia's $10.3 billion horticultural sector—this pest costs the horticultural sector $300 million each year in lost markets."
It's hoped Hort Innovation can commercialise production and delivery of sterile male Qfly.
The Coalition Government's Rural R&D for Profit project provided $2.35 million for a project led by the CSIRO to create optimal conditions for SIT fly releases. The aerial offensive was part of SITPlus—a $45 million research and development partnership set to transform Qfly management in Australia.
