The Charlotte Mint was a branch of
the United States Mint that came into existence on
March 3, 1835 during the Carolina Gold Rush. The
first gold mine in the United States was established
in North Carolina at the Reed Gold Mine. The United
States Congress approved an Act to establish several
branch mints; the act stated, "...one branch [to be
established] at the town of Charlotte, in
Mecklenburg County, in the state of North Carolina,
for the coinage of gold only...". This Act also
authorized mints at Dahlonega, Georgia, and New
Orleans, Louisiana, after President Andrew Jackson
signed it into law.
In 1836, construction on the Charlotte Mint began.
It opened for business on July 27, 1837. Only raw
gold was processed and refined until March 28, 1838,
when the first $5 gold half eagle was struck in
Charlotte. Later that year, $2 1/2 quarter eagles
were minted, and 1849 production started on a small
gold dollar. All gold coinage coming from this mint
has a "C" mint mark to distinguish it from other
sister mints then in operation. The Charlotte Mint
issued over $5 million in gold coins.
In May 1861, North Carolina seceded from the Union.
The Confederacy took control of the Charlotte Mint.
The Confederate government continued coining
operations until October when it became clear it was
a futile effort. The mint was then converted into a
hospital and military office space for the remainder
of the Civil War.
After the war
Federal troops used the offices for the first few
years of Reconstruction. In 1867, the U.S.
government designated it an assay office. In 1873,
the General Assembly of North Carolina petitioned
Congress to reopen the mint at Charlotte. This
request was denied.
The Assay office operated until 1913 when the gold
supply was quickly dwindling. From 1917 to 1919, the
Charlotte Woman's Club met in the building. It also
served as a Red Cross station during World War I.

The 'Dogs of Dell' was just one of several examples mentioned by digital marketing expert Jo Scott at the latest Mersey Maritime breakfast event.
Jo, who is head of marketing at Peel Ports was the latest speaker at what has become an invaluable monthly event at MM's Birkenhead HQ in Vanguard Way.
She told the dozens of Mersey Maritime members in attendance that when it comes to digital marketing "content is king… but distribution is queen".
It is not enough to create great content, she added, you also needed to make the most use of social media channels to disseminate your message.
Jo used the 'Dogs of Dell" campaign initiated by computer giant Dell which was used to highlight the work carried out by 'service dogs' – pooches that provide a range of help to people with disabilities.
It was, she said, a great example of a company engaging with as wider audience as possible by going way beyond simply promoting products and services.
Her top tips for digital marketing, were:
• Keep focused on your goal
• Understand your audience
• Develop engaging content
• Tailor it to the channel
• Curate content
• Show personality and humour
• Encourage participation
The Mersey Maritime networking breakfasts are held at 7.30am on the first Tuesday of every month and also feature updates from chief executive Chris Shirling-Rooke.
Appearing at November's event will be Giles A Heimann, corporate director of Fleet Personnel and Bernhard of Schulte Shipmanagement who will talk about: "Shipping: the conservative 'beast' gains momentum for change".

- Description
The Hettich ROTO SILENTA 630 RS features outstanding performance in fast efficient centrifuging of blood bags and in processing large sample quantities. It offers a maximum capacity of 6 x 2000 ml or 12 x 500 ml blood bag systems.
Excellent stability even at high performance levels makes the ROTO SILENTA 630 RS a rugged and reliable centrifuging partner. When in use- the cooled large volume centrifuge is positioned on high-quality vibration dampers. To ensure mobility- it is supplied with castors- onto which the ROTO SILENTA 630 RS can be lowered as required. Optimal running performance guarantees best separating results and a pleasant working environment thanks to low noise levels. The extensive range of accessories for blood collection tubes- standard tubes and various blood bag systems can be centrifuged in one rotor - changing rotors is not required.
"HETTINFO"- the Hettich data report system and customized solutions enable GMP performance- addressing the high-level requirements for user safety and product quality in blood banks and transfusion centers.
Why Hettich Centrifuges?
Hettich has been making cutting edge centrifuges longer than any of them. GMI carries Hettich centrifuges brand new in the box as our exclusive line for one simple reason...if you are buying new- Hettich is the best. IT IS the Mercedes of the centrifuge world. Here's why;
Since the company was founded more than 160 patents and copyrights for design have been granted to it. Without exception they relate to centrifuges and centrifuging techniques. In cytology- in particular- Hettich developed equipment that pointed the way ahead. In the field of laboratory automation the application for a patent on a robotic centrifuge presents a recent example of the company's innovative force. The Hettich list of applied and issued patents- therefore- reads like a presentation of the development of modern centrifuge technology.
Construction and Design
The exchange of ideas with users in medicine- chemistry- industry and research generates synergies. Using latest CAD technology Hettich's designing engineers develop them into products that meet all demands of today's laboratories. In the factory- finally- they are realized in centrifuges and accessories that are unmistakably Hettich and prove their worth not only by functionality- but also practical and attractive design.

Lewis Hamilton put on a fantastic drive to win the Canadian Grand Prix and become the 7th winner from 7 races this season.
This was Hamilton's third Canadian GP win having won the race previously in 2007 and 2010.
"I want to dedicate this one to all the fans who send messages and are constantly sending messages and being supportive," said Hamilton. "I loved every single minute of it. I never had a doubt that there wasn't a possibility (of winning). I assumed the guys (Alonso and Vettel) were one stopping as they were falling behind." "It's been five years since I won for the first time here. But it feels just as good. This feels like one of the best races I've had for a long time."
Surprisingly, everyone got a clear start with Vettel leading Hamilton, Alonso and rest of the field. Massa put on a charge and ovetook Rosberg to take 5th place only to spin on turn 2 a few laps later and move out of top 10. Di Resta who got a great start and ran as high as 5th, was forced to make an early stop on lap 13 due to heavy tyre degradation.
Race leader Sebastian Vettel made his first stop on lap 16 and found himself behind Hamilton and Alonso after they made their pit stops one and three laps later respectively. Alonso came out ahead of both the drivers after his pitstop but Hamilton overtook him with DRS on former's outlap.
The rest of the field who opted for a two stop strategy pitted during the same period. Button who started the race on hard tyres and would have probably hoped to complete the race on single stop was forced to stop for a new set of option tyres earlier than expected, lap 15.
Raikkonen and Perez made their single stops on lap 40 and 41 respectively and switched to Pirelli option tyres having started the race on prime tyres.
Back at the front, Hamilton who had a 3 second gap to Alonso made his second stop on lap 50. He soon found that both Alonso and Vettel were going for a single stop strategy and he has to overcome a 16 second gap. His freshers tyres were much faster than both of them as he set a series of fastest laps and was at the back of Vettel by lap 60. He overtook the German on lap 62 and Alonso two laps later.
Vettel finally made his second stop on lap 63 while Alonso decided not to pit. Then came one stoppers Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez who had decided that strategy before the race and had thus taken care of their tyres. They both overtook Alonso on last few laps and finished in 2nd and 3rd place and went on to score their second podium of their career. Vettel also overtook Alonso by the end of the race to finish 4th and set the fastest lap of the race on the final lap.
Rosberg had a busy afternoon and went on to finish the race in 6th place ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber and one stopper Kimi Raikkonen. Felipe Massa having lost ground after and early spin finished in 10th place to take the final championship point.
Paul di Resta lost ground after a great start due to an early stop finished in 11th place ahead of his teammate Nico Hulkenberg.
It was another poor day for Jenson Button who was forced to make three stops, the Briton was unhappy with lap of grip and severe tyre degradation on his McLaren . Michael Schumacher had a equally poor and frustrating day after he was forced to retire when his DRS got struck in open position.
The result make Lewis Hamilton the championship leader with 88 points, two points ahead of Fernando Alonso and three points ahead of Sebastian Vettel, who in turn is 6 points ahead of his teammate Mark Webber.
In the constructors standings, Red Bull remain on with 164 points, followed by McLaren with 133 points and Lotus with 133 points; Ferrari slipped to 4th place.

Chesterfield: Hidden Strangers
With initial support from the Derbyshire Lives Through the First World War project, and with the help of Hidden Histories and Nottingham Trent University, Derbyshire playwright Louise Page her play Hidden Strangers. Louise had developed a keen interest in the effect that the First World War and the spread of anti-German feeling, had on the German community at the time living in Britain. She was particularly interested in personal stories such as the sensitivity that people felt about their German names, and on the continuity of such attitudes towards other people today.Writing for and working with Chesterfield's Pomegranate Youth Theatre, Louise explored this area of our hidden history and how people who had built a life for themselves in Britain suddenly became the enemy.
Hidden Strangers looked at the lives of those German, Hungarian and Austrian families, who lived in and around Chesterfield and were judged, condemned and vilified during the First World War. In Hasland there were riots against local pork butchers. At Buxton the subscription band who had played for bank holiday makers on August 3rd, immediately became enemies on the declaration of war the next day and were put into police cells.
But the play also showed the better side of human nature. A young Englishwoman defied her mother to volunteer as part of Violet Markham's relief organisation which clothed those in need and Quakers helped to ensure the wellbeing of German children.
The play was premiered at Chesterfield's Rose Theatre, on 2nd and 3rd July 2016 earning critical acclaim for the eighteen strong cast. It was repeated on July 15th at Lincoln as part of the Green Fields Beyond event, for which Louise also wrote the script.

- Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) Time at 1-year. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
PFS is measured from the date of registration to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date.
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
- Overal Survival (OS) Rate at 1-year. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date.
- Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 12 months ]Percentage of participants whose PSA value declined to 50% when compared to the value at the baseline.
- Change of PSA Doubling Time [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 12 months ]Difference of PSA doubling time between baseline and end of the treatment.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]ORR = Complete Response (CR) + Partial response (PR). CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
- Percentage of Participants With Decrease in Present Pain Intensity (PPI) From Baseline. [ Time Frame: Baseline and up to 12 months ]Pain score decreased >=2 points from baseline. The PPI scale has the following descriptors: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain, 2=discomforting pain, 3=distressing pain, 4=horrible pain, and 5=excruciating pain. The patient will be asked to self-assess and record their PPI in the study diary. Upon diary review, the study nurse will utilize the PPI daily scores to calculate the week's average. The weekly PPI score during the study is the average of the daily PPI scores, based on a minimum of 3 daily PPI assessments during a week's period.

Right now, when you define a channel you can set a style. I rarely use this, but the thing I really need is to define a filter (read/labeled/all, time span) for various groups and watches. For example, for a watch I might want "all/last week" while for a group I might want "unread/yesterday-today", while another group "all/today".
Can this be added?

Panthers look for revenge against Senatorsby Davis Harper
SENATORS (2-0-0) at PANTHERS (1-2-0)
TV: SNET-East, FS-Florida
Season series: This is the second of three season meetings between the teams. On Monday, Ottawa thrashed the Panthers 4-0 in the Senators' home opener at Scotiabank Place. Ottawa has won five of its last six games in Florida.
Big story: Ottawa has been superb so far this season, leading the NHL with a plus-7 goal differential after convincing wins against Winnipeg and Florida. The Senators will be looking to continue that trend in the second half of a home-and-home against the stumbling Panthers. Florida has lost two straight on the road after a 5-1 home win over Carolina in their opening-day matchup.
Team Scope:
Senators: While other Eastern teams - the New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, even the Panthers - have struggled under the weight of high expectations for the shortened season, the Senators have made a seamless transition. Old stalwarts like Kyle Turris, who has 3 goals in two games, have gelled with new additions like Marc Methot, who is plus-4 so far. Goalie Craig Anderson, who has 59 saves and a .983 save percentage, hasn't conceded a goal in 114 minutes.
In their home opener against Florida, the Senators fired 37 shots at Jose Theodore on their way to a 4-0 win in front of a sellout crowd. During the second period when Florida outshot Ottawa 12-8, captain Daniel Alfredsson made sure his team didn't rest on its lead.
"[Alfredsson] said that we were getting complacent - we couldn't (mess) around," Methot said. "I think we rebounded really well. We definitely addressed it."
Panthers: The season could hardly have started better for Florida. The Panthers beat Carolina 5-1 at the BB&T Center, with rookie Jonathan Huberdeau notching his first goal and first assist. Brian Campbell added two goals and Jose Theodore (41 saves) narrowly missed a shutout. Since then, however, the Panthers endured a nightmare trip to eastern Canada, where Florida conceded eight goals and scored just one in back-to-back losses to Ottawa and Montreal.
With key players like Kris Versteeg, Sean Bergenheim and Marcel Goc sidelined and new additions like Huberdeau, Alex Kovalev and Peter Mueller inserted into the lineup, the Panthers continue to look for the right personnel mix. Despite the early concerns, center Stephen Weiss assured reporters after the Montreal loss that the Panthers aren't panicking yet.
"I think in the back of your mind, yes, but we're three games in and it's not time to hit the panic button," Weiss said. "We've got some new guys, some new faces, and we haven't had a lot of time to practice so we have to learn on the fly. It's not the end of the world, we lost two in a row and we just have to regroup and stay positive."
Who's hot: Ottawa blueliner and 2011-12 Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson got off to a hot start with a goal and two assists on opening day. Karlsson has 10 shots so far this season.
Injury report: Defenseman Mike Lundin is questionable for Ottawa with a broken finger. … For Florida, Michael Caruso is doubtful for Thursday's game with a bruised wrist. Bergenheim (groin), Erik Gudbranson (shoulder) and Goc (ankle) are all day-to-day. Versteeg remains on injured reserve as he recovers from hip surgery.

Documentation shows that an engine rebuild was performed somewhat recently and the motor does run strong. Odometer shoes about 9700 miles however that is not verified. A Service II (oil service, chassis lube, brake adjust, carb and valves, etc.) was performed at Scottie's Workshop. A new Denfeld solo seat was installed, new battery, grips, various hardware (such as new centerstand bolts and bushings, upper engine mount, etc.), new various rubber bits. The bike has good tires (Avon AM26) and good brakes. The motor and trans shifts well. The final drive has some odd machining done to the case, however it seems to work fine. This is a good rider! This bike is located at Scottie's Workshop and interested parties are welcome to come inspect it. Shipping is available to anywhere. Asking $11,500 plus packing/shipping, if required.

The Blue Jays do something that should have been done on Monday, March 31st. Have an actual decent infielder with them. You can look at all of the stats you like but you also have to watch a player on the field, in the dugout, club house, on the plane or bus. If not, 3rd baseman Brett Lawrie wouldn't be where he is today!
Pantera is to Metallica as Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A little trashier and dirtier, as Ricky Gervais compared the Golden Globes to the Oscars. In this comparison of metal groups, I'd easily choose Pantera. Metallica, 5 Finger Death Punch and Disturbed all seem a little too polished as far as metal groups go.
I bought the CD of Pantera's Greatest Hits and went to Corey I knew he was into Pantera, he lent me all of their CDs, he had all 6 or 7 of them. Here's a small sampling of Pantera….

Fast forward to 1999. I wanted to buy some furniture for my house. Fermin, my better half, and I had visited a shop "Iron Butterfly" to buy a sofa set. On our earlier visit we could not meet the owner of the shop. On our third visit my wife insisted that I call him on his mobile and ask him to meet us at the showroom. I called up Mr Firoze Shapurji on his cell. He said he can't meet me that day as he was busy searching for a unit of Blood of the Group "O-ve" for a welder who works in his workshop. I immediately told him that I could help him as I was a regular blood donor since my college days and had donated quite a few units of blood during my NCC days and had quite a few voluntory blood donation cards with me. I could exchange a card in any of the blood banks for a unit of blood.
But that was not to be. I visited about 3-4 blood banks in Nagpur but could not get a single unit of blood. Anyhow Mr Shapurji who is quite a well known personality in Nagpur found a donor for the patient. But the patient needed a lot of transfusion. He passed away after 2 days. When I came to know about it. I was quite disturbed.
This incident got me thinking as to what must be happening to patients who go from one city to another city for treatment, where they have no one to help them. What must be happening to patients who suffer from cancer and need a lot of blood transfusion.What must be happening to children who suffer from sickle cell and thallesemia and who need frequent blood transfusions every month.
I told my wife that we had to do something about this. A solution has to be found to solve this problem. But how it could be done we did not know. We resolved that we would surely do something.......

Andre Solis-Flores
"I fell in love with the idea of going to Mexico City. I strongly desired to learn about my roots, to touch that warm soil that distinguishes México from the rest of the world, and to explore my identity in ways I had never done before. "
I wanted to explore the world. I started looking at study abroad programs because I had the lifelong dream of visiting Paris. That shifted when one of my close friends told me he was planning to study abroad in Mexico City. He honestly got me very excited about México. I had never pictured myself studying at UNAM (even though I had known about its world renowned prestige for the longest time) until my friend told me all about his study abroad program. I fell in love with the idea of going to Mexico City. I had not visited my parent's home country in over 10 years and just thinking about having the opportunity to go back elevated my heart in the most beautiful way. I strongly desired to learn about my roots, to touch that warm soil that distinguishes México from the rest of the world, and to explore my identity in ways I had never done before.
México is all culture and all extremely beautiful too. I don't think I've ever had a cultural experience like the one I had when I went to see a Ballet Folclórico performance in Palacio de Bellas Artes with the entire UCEAP group. That was a day of excursion for us. We had explored the historic center of Mexico City, rich with culture. We ended the night by attending the critically acclaimed show, and no words can express the overwhelming sense of awe I felt during the entire performance. The entire performance showcased some of the most traditional and colorful dances native to México. Tears flooded my eyes. I had never seen such cultural beauty in my life. I felt beautiful because that was my culture. I felt conflicted because it was not my culture. The performance was aesthetic and felt detached from the true dance traditions in indigenous communities that continue to be marginalized. This cultural experience aroused a range of mixed emotions for me which makes it one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had.
There were many challenges, but I think the biggest concern for me was not losing myself. I was struggling with my identity. I felt that I could not recognize myself anymore because I was undergoing so many personal changes, from being afraid of new experiences to being more spontaneous and risky at times. I also struggled to keep in touch with my loved ones back home. I felt like I was becoming more and more selfish, focusing all of my energy in building the new relationships I was establishing in Mexico and almost completely forgetting about my home in California. This clashed with the random feelings of homesickness I'd get. Even so, I'd call home less often despite always having been very attached to home to the extent that I had accustomed my family to video calls from me every week since I first left home for Cal. I struggled to balance my growing sense of independence and exploration with the growing sense of abandonment my family was feeling as a result. My cultural identity was also shifting while I was abroad as I deconstructed and redefined what it meant to be Mexican and American. My self-concept cracked and crumbled, but in that process, I was growing and changing. For the first time, I was open to that change and turmoil.
A typical day, once you get into the groove of school, resembles a typical day at Cal. I'd go to class daily and go to my lab three times a week. After classes I'd hang out with my Mexican friends or head to my dance classes (Bachata, Cumbia, and Salsa) or just head home to decompress and study. Some weekdays would be filled with adventure as I'd explore the city's museums, historic streets, or bustling avenues alone, with UCEAP peers, or with Mexican friends.
As a part of the UNAM immersive program, I was able to take classes alongside my Mexican peers in two renowned colleges: La Facultad de Psicología and La Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. In Psicología, I studied social and cultural psychology in Professor Rogelio Flores' Cultura, Tecnología y Diversidad course, and I explored child psychopathology through hands-on experience in Dr. Laura Hernandez's laboratory on campus. In this lab, I was able to confirm my interest in learning more about mental health in children, especially children of color. This interest intensified as I studied, in Filosofía y Letras, about the challenges and accommodations necessary for students with differing abilities in the education system. Beyond this, UNAM gave me the most unique opportunity of studying Nahuatl, one of many native Mexican languages. Berkeley does not offer courses in Native American languages and having had studied a rich tongue in México was both empowering and healing.
I built some of the most beautiful relationships while in México. I had always struggled to make friends, and after a month or two of being abroad, I was wrapped in the warmth so characteristic of Mexican people. As I built my relationships, I realized that people cared about me as a whole person. They were genuinely interested in everything about me not just the pile of accomplishments or positions or abilities I have. I felt appreciated and loved, and I had rarely felt this at Cal in a way that felt warm and genuine. The people I met, from classmates to roommates, made my time abroad one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had.
I changed so much while abroad! I was able to gain a lot of self-confidence and a lot of independence. I truly broke out of my very rough shell. I was more open than I had ever been in my entire life. I stepped out of my comfort zone to the uncomfortable degree, and I welcomed that. I was shy and very socially anxious, but I was able to adapt and evolve in ways I never imagined. For example, I had always detested dancing, but for some reason, I took three dance classes while abroad. If that's not growth I don't know what is!
All I can say is do it. You will hear from almost everyone that you should not study abroad in México because it's dangerous. People can make you feel uneasy and even ashamed about the country you wish to visit. I say, block all of that out. México is going through a lot of turmoil but so is the entire world right now. If you dream of studying in México, do it. If you dream of being an UNAM student, go for it. México is such a beautiful and wildly complex place. Challenge the negative sentiments by going to México and showing everyone the beauty they are too scared to see.

Spooked horses in a driving competition
I just saw this video thanks to Fugly Horse of the Day. It's six and a half minutes of he!l — a horse spooks and bolts during a driving competition, triggering another one to start right about when they catch the first one. There are several instances of people and horses getting mowed down by an out-of-control horse, but apparently — by some miracle — no one was actually hurt.
Someone on the Fugly blog said that the horses all hold their tails in the air because they've had ginger applied to their anuses to make them burn, and that that may have been what got the first horse kicking in the first place. Poor horses! I'd kick too!
Also, as several people pointed out, trying to quiet or catch the horse isn't going to work, because it has blinders on and can only see forward. Considering horses are prey animals and can't see directly in front of them, either, I would say blinders are a pretty bad idea because of the risk of this happening.

Exhibit 99.1
Horizon Technology Finance Provides
Investment Portfolio Update for Third Quarter 2017
Origination Platform and Active Lending
Drive Investment Activity and Increase Committed Backlog
FARMINGTON, Conn., October 11, 2017 – Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) ("Horizon"), a leading specialty finance company that provides capital in the form of secured loans to venture capital backed companies in the technology, life science, healthcare information and services, and cleantech industries, today provided a portfolio update for the third quarter of 2017.
"We experienced solid investment activity during the third quarter including originating five new loans and adding $50 million of loan commitments and approvals," said Gerald A. Michaud, President of Horizon. "Our origination platform, combined with an active lending environment, contributed to us ending the quarter with a committed and approved backlog of $54 million. With ample liquidity for new investments, we believe Horizon is well positioned to deliver long-term, sustainable portfolio growth while continuing to profit from positive liquidity events."
New Loans Funded
Horizon funded five new loans in the third quarter of 2017 totaling $18.3 million to the following portfolio companies:
|$7.0 million to a new portfolio company, Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company developing proprietary therapeutics for the treatment of select chronic diseases.
|$6.0 million to a new portfolio company, a developer of online strategy and combat games.
|$3.0 million to a new portfolio company, WebLinc Corporation, a cloud-based provider of e-commerce solutions for fast growing online retailers.
|$1.5 million to an existing portfolio company, Luxtera, Inc., a developer of integrated silicon CMOS photonics.
|$0.8 million to an existing portfolio company, Decisyon, Inc., a provider of collaborative enterprise software solutions to Global 1000 companies.
Liquidity Events
During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Horizon experienced liquidity events from three portfolio companies. Liquidity events for Horizon may consist of the sale of warrants or equity in portfolio companies, loan prepayments, sale of owned assets or receipt of success fees.
In July, Strongbridge Biopharma plc ("Strongbridge") prepaid the outstanding principal balance of $7.5 million on its venture loan, plus interest, end-of-term payment and prepayment fee. Horizon continues to hold warrants in Strongbridge.
In July, Skyword Inc. ("Skyword") prepaid the outstanding principal balance of $3.5 million on its venture loan, plus interest, end-of-term payment and prepayment fee. Horizon continues to hold warrants in Skyword.
In September, Sys-Tech Solutions, Inc. ("Sys-Tech") prepaid the outstanding principal balance of $1.5 million on its venture loan, plus interest, end-of-term payment and prepayment fee. Horizon continues to hold warrants in Sys-Tech.
Refinanced Principal Balances, Early Principal Payoffs, and Principal Payments Received
As noted above, Horizon experienced early pay-offs during the third quarter of 2017 totaling $12.5 million, compared to early pay-offs totaling $12.3 million during the second quarter of 2017. During the third quarter of 2017, Horizon received regularly scheduled principal payments on investments totaling $7.2 million, compared to regularly scheduled principal payments totaling $8.5 million during the second quarter of 2017.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Horizon closed new loan commitments totaling $24.8 million to four companies, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, wherein Horizon closed new loan commitments totaling $43.8 million to five companies.
As of September 30, 2017, Horizon's unfunded loan approvals and commitments ("Committed Backlog"), all priced at floating interest rates, were $54.0 million to eight companies. This compares to a Committed Backlog of $45.0 million to six companies as of June 30, 2017. While Horizon's portfolio companies have discretion whether to draw down such commitments, the right of a portfolio company to draw down its commitment is often subject to achievement of specific milestones and other conditions to borrowing.
Warrant and Equity Portfolio
As of September 30, 2017, Horizon held a portfolio of warrant and equity positions in 78 portfolio companies, including 64 private companies, which provides the potential for future additional returns to Horizon's shareholders.

Kid Scoop is a fun resource that encourages reading and reading comprehension. We were given the opportunity to review The Reluctant Reader by Kid Scoop which includes a 12 month access to the Kid Scoop monthly newspaper just for kids and 365 Kid Scoop Worksheets. The Reluctant Reader, which includes both of these, sells for $97.
The newspaper is a 20 page color PDF or online document that has 'news' regarding specific topics and a variety of 'to do' activities. (This is not necessarily current event news. It is more 'historical' things presented in a newspaper format.) The worksheets in the Newspaper need to be printed in order to do them but there is some information you can read online. The topics covered in the Newspaper are specific to that month. February included Valentines, Presidents day among other items. There are puzzles, jokes and more 'traditional' type of work in the Newspaper.
If you have a great reader, don't let the name of this program deter you. It would be GREAT for a reluctant reader. It is snappy, eye catching yet filled with 'real' information. BUT, I have an avid reader. He is not a reluctant reader. As I sit here typing he is reading "How to be a Genius." My kiddo reads...reads...and then reads some more. When he was about three years old, we were walking into Meijer Thrifty Acres and he looks up at the sign overhead. He points and says..."Welcome." Indeed that is what it said. But he has very much enjoyed both the newspaper and the worksheets. And we are not generally 'worksheet people.' It has offered me a much needed break to do the dishes, get caught up on email or blog when I hand him something interesting to complete. We have even learned a few new things because of the snappy way it was presented. In one of the Newspapers there was a two page spread on money, interest and the stock market. He now knows about the bulls and the bears... and we did a bit of math work with the information provided. (Shhh! Don't tell him we did math.) You can get almost every school subject covered to some degree with these Newspapers.
Although I very much think this is a good product I noticed you can get many downloads individually on this website as well as a weekly Newspaper. I didn't find anything more about the weekly Newspaper so I can't really tell you more there but there were plenty on the 'downloads' so you could give this a trial run to see if you like it. You can get a sample for free here. Each download has a variety of activities from word searches to experiments. It appears to me that these are the same as those that would be included in The Reluctant Reader although I am not sure. I know it does not include ALL the worksheet packets. We received 60 topics of downloaded packets. The website says that The Reluctant Reader includes 365 worksheets. Each packet is about 6 pages long...so this does work out to be 60 packets. (You can do the math!)
In these packets there are 'fun' things such as spot the difference or puzzles and other items that are more 'school-ish.' Each packet is $2.99 each and there are plenty of topics to choose from. We didn't get the Jack Prelusky or Vitamin C in our Reluctant Reader packet and these are two I might pick up. (We did get the immunization download..and if you are of the same mind as me...just let that one go. Hey. We are not all perfect.) If you are interested in purchasing a packet first, you could contact them to see if the one you are interested in is in The Reluctant Reader. That way you could choose something that is NOT included in that to insure that you don't purchase it twice.
I did notice that you can get the monthly magazine for $15 a year as of the writing of this blog - regular $24 as noted on this page. I am not sure how that differs from the $55 value indicated on the Reluctant Reader page. I did enjoy our monthly magazine.
Although the worksheet packets can be purchased separately it is quite a big savings if you think you will use the topics given because separately those would work out to be $179 and that is without the monthly magazine. You will be printing much of these so work that into your cost scheme.
Below are pictures of Andrew working on an activity from these Kid Scoop topic specific downloads. We did enjoy it and I definitely recommend checking out the samples and purchasing a unit or two. If you decide you like them then the Reluctant Reader is well worth the dollars. OR.... they have a money back guarantee. That is on the main Reluctant Reader page about half way down. So there is really no risk.

What's old is new again
What's old is new again Orléans, the capital of the Loiret region in the heart of the Loire Valley, is just an hour away from Paris by train. Surrounded by chateaux and wineries, it's the picture of elegance and residents with savoir-faire. Back in 1429, a local peasant girl named Joan of Arc, took this gut instinct "to know what's right" and helps her country. Thanks to "Divine guidance," Joan of Arc led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War, leading to the coronation of King Charles VII. Ultimately captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English, she was tried by an ecclesiastical court and burned at the stake at the ripe age of 19. Today, this Maid of Orléans is considered a national heroine of France and is a catholic saint. Visitors to Orléans can find reminders of Joan everywhere, including the Gothic Cathédrale Ste-Croix, where two golden leopards protect her pedestal. One of the biggest churches in France, the Huguenots burned it in 1568. The Rebuilding began with Henry IV in 1601 and continued all the way to 1829. Want to see how the young maid lived ? Although a scale reproduction (the original was destroyed by fire in 1940), the Joan of Arc museum reconstructs her life story and dedicates an entire floor to the yearly celebration the city holds every May 8th. The battling history of Orléans continued as World War II swept through France. The city was badly damaged, however the historic old town was largely unharmed. The central feature of Orléans old town is the spacious Place du Martroi. In the sixth century there was a cemetery here, hence the name Martroi (originally Martyretum). The 1855 equestrian statue of Joan of Arc is by Foyatier. Learn more about Orleans

Our Familiar Hunger
Released April 2018!
In Our Familiar Hunger, Laisha Rosnau tests and confirms the will, struggle and fortitude of generations of women and confronts how their knowledges interact, inform, burden and transform as they are passed down.
Our Familiar Hunger was influenced by Rosnau's maternal grandparents, who immigrated to Canada from Ukraine, and explores the lives of Eastern European women, both contemporary and historical. Poems move from the Russian Revolution into holodomor, the massive state-imposed famine in Ukraine, to early twentieth century immigration to Canada and the subsequent interment into prisoner camps across Canada during the First World War.
The collection shifts into twenty-first century migration, the international sex trade, and internet-arranged marriage as a way to into "the West". Set against backdrops of historical and contemporary conflict zones, farmers' fields ravaged by the greed of government officials, and oil fields pumping crude resources out of northern Canada, the women each respond to different types of hunger - literal hunger for food and sustenance, sexual hunger and desire, hunger for love, respect, equality, acceptance, and peace.
Rallying memories of a reclaimed history with the fractured reality of trickle-down inheritance, Rosnau explores sexuality and inequality against the backdrops of historical and contemporary conflict zones, global waves of immigration and expressions of greed and hunger.
The profound, the political and the personal are ablaze as Rosnau reveals the myriad ways epigenetic grief interferes or interprets our best attempts, igniting her most powerful collection of poetry to date.

Top Investing Advice To Succeed In The Stock Market – Part 1
Many people are attracted by the thought of investing in stocks, but you should not do so casually. This article will discuss some of the most important tips that you should consider before purchasing stocks and risking your hard earned money. Keep reading for more tips.
Investing in stocks requires you stick to one easy principle: keep it simple! Your philosophy of investing should be easy to understand. The stocks you pick should be things you understand. Do not take on undue risk, much like you avoid blowing your whole paycheck on lottery tickets. Keep things simple.
When you invest, make sure that you have realistic expectations. Most people know that investing in the stock market doesn't guarantee riches overnight. Keep that in mind and you will prevent mistakes from being made in your investments.
Watch the stock market closely prior to jumping in. Prior to your first investment, research the stock market, preferably for quite a long time. A good rule of thumb would be to keep your eye on the ups and downs for three years. This will give you a view of how the market operates and increase your chances of profitability.
Stocks are more than a piece of paper that is bought and sold. You are actually a partial owner of the company whose shares you have purchased. As a partial owner, you are entitled to claims on assets and earnings. In several cases, you can vote in major corporate leadership elections.
Try to spread out your investments. Investing largely in one sector can come with disastrous results. Investing everything in a single company who ends up unexpectedly going bankrupt will bankrupt you as well.
For rainy days, it is smart to have six months of living expenses tucked away in a high interest investment account. The idea here, of course, is that should you ever need emergency funding, you can break into this fund and hopefully get by without depleting it. Or, should you really need it on an extended basis, at least the money will be there.
Short selling can be an option that you may enjoy trying your hand at. This strategy involves borrowing shares of stock from your broker. Investors make deals to borrow shares and then give out the same number themselves, just in the future. The person who is investing will then sell their shares so they will be bought again when the price of the stock falls.
Keep investment plans simple when you are beginning. It could be tempting to do the things you have learned right away, but if you're new in investing it is good to focus on one thing that truly works and stick to it. This will reward you with smaller losses, bigger profits and a solid base of experience.
Before you buy any stock, do your research. Often, new companies and stocks are hyped up to appear to have great potential and people buy stock in the heat of the moment. If the company doesn't take off as expected, these investors lose all their money.

Mobile Phone in Grand Theft Auto IV
Unlike previous Grand Theft Auto games, Grand Theft Auto IV now revolves around the Mobile Phone. The Mobile Phone can be brought up by pressing up on the D-Pad (PlayStation 3 controls). In the game, Niko acquires two versions of the mobile phone: the old phone and the premium quality one (as referred to in the game). In this page you will find a list of all options available on the Mobile Phone and an explanation of each.
[edit] Mobile Phone in Single Player
Introduced in: It's your call, but the multiplayer option can be used from the first mission of the game.
The mobile in single player can be used for several activities. It is where, unlike the previous Grand Theft Auto games, cheats are inserted, where Niko Bellic can ring his friends and also so Niko can ring any numbers found in-game, such as the 911 emergancy call.
[edit] Mobile Phone in Multi Player
Unlike the Single Player option, the Mobile Phone cannot be used to insert cheats. It can be used to called other multiplayer players, but only if both players have a headset.

Return to Assorted Documents of the Freedmen's Bureau
General O. O. Howard
Circular No. 2
May 19, 1865
Freedmen's Bureau Records
South Carolina, Georgia, And Florida,
Beaufort, S. C, June 26, 1865.
The following circular from headquarters of Freedmen's Bureau is republished for the information
of all general and assistant superintendents, and others interested, in ihe States of South
Carolina, Georgia, and Florida:
[Circular No. 2.]
War Department, Bureau Refugees, Freedmen, And Abandoned Lands, Washington, D.
C, May 19, 1865. By appointment of the President, I assume charge of the "Bureau of Refugees,
Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands."
I. Commissioners will be at once appointed for the insurrectionary States. To them will be intrusted
the supervision of abandoned lands, and the control of all subjects relating to refugees and
freedmen in their respective districts. All agents in the field, however appointed, are requested to
report to them the condition of their work. Refugees and freedmen, not already provided for, will
inform them of their wants. All applications for relief will be referred to them or their agents by post
and district commanders.
II. But it is not the intention of government that this bureau shall supersede the various benevolent
organizations in the work of administering relief. This must still be afforded by the benevolence of
the people through their voluntary societies, no governmental appropriations having been made
for this purpose. The various commissioners will look to the associations laboring in their
respective districts to provide, as heretofore, for the wants of these destitute people. I invite,
therefore, the continuance and co-operation of such societies. I trust they will still be generously
supported by the people, and I request them to send me their names, lists of their principal
officers, and a brief statement of their present work.
III. The demands for labor are sufficient to afford employment to nearly if not quite all the
able-bodied refugees and freedmen. It will be the object of all commissioners to introduce
practicable systems of compensated labor; and to this end they will endeavor to remove the
prejudices of their late masters unwilling to employ their former servants; to correct the false
impressions sometimes entertained by the freedmen that they can live without labor, and to
overcome that false pride which renders some of the refugees niore willing to be supported in
idleness than to support themselves. While a generous provision should be made for the aged,
infirm, and sick, the able-bodied should be encouraged, and, if necessary, compelled to labor for
their support.
IV. The educational and moral condition of these people will not be forgotten. The utmost facility
will be afforded to benevolent and religious organizations and State authorities in the maintenance
of good schools, (for refugees and freedmen,) until a system of free schools can be supported by
the reorganized local governments. Meanwhile, whenever schools are broken up by any
authorized agent of the government, it is requested that the fact and attendant circumstance? be
reported to this bureau.
Let me repeat, that in all this work it is not my purpose to supersede the benevolent agencies
already engaged in it, but to systematize and facilitate them.
0. 0. HOWARD, Major General, Comm'r Bureau Refugees, Freedmen,
Official: SAMUEL L. TAGGART.
Captain and Assistant Adjutant General.
The provisions of the above circular will be carried out by all assistant commissioners and
superintendents in these States, and the co-operation of all benevolent and religious societies,
and also of individuals, is invited to aid the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau.
By order of
R. Saxton
, brevet major general, assistant commissioner.
General O. O. Howard

Partner Perspective: FMI: Moving Forward In 2011
By Integrated Solutions For Retailers magazine
As I Enter My Second Six Months Here At The FMI (wow, how time flies), I am getting the sense that real change is looming; not only in our industry, but also within FMI. My colleagues and I are working on a number of exciting initiatives, and there are even a few new projects planned as we move into 2011. Here are a few highlights:
Asset Protection: Drawing on the expertise of the newly created Asset Protection Council, FMI has reenergized and refocused its asset protection efforts. This effort includes the creation of a number of new committees, such as Risk, Insurance & Safety, Event Planning, Education & Research, and Homeland Security, which will provide valuable input and guidance to FMI's programs around asset protection, risk management, safety issues, and improved industry education offerings.
