Community Center That Received Threats To 'Blow Up' Refugees Isn't Backing Down

The FBI has joined an investigation into a violent threat against a refugee community center in Aurora, Colorado.

The Mango House, which serves primarily Muslim immigrants, received two typewritten notes on Thursday reading, “WERE GONNA BLOW UP ALL OF YOU REFUGEES,” police spokesman Sgt. Chris Amsler told Reuters. Law enforcement did not find signs of explosives or suspicious devices on the premises.

The notes came the day before President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending the U.S. refugee resettlement program and temporarily blocking all travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. A draft of the order had been circulating online for days.

Mango House owner P.J. Parmar told CBS Denver that he believes the threatening notes, which an employee found in the parking lot and a stairwell, were fueled by the tense political situation.

“It’s a minority of the population of course, but that minority now has a vocal leadership in terms of Donald Trump, in terms of the rhetoric we saw during the campaign and in terms of executive orders,” Parmar said.

Those who work in Mango House declare that such hate only makes them more committed to their cause.

“It makes me want to stand up stronger and say no,” Carolyn Aiello, who founded the facility’s dental clinic, told The Denver Channel. “These people are kind and loving, and if you get to know them, you will get to love them, just like I do.”

Mango House is a private business that rents to several tenants serving the local refugee community, including Aiello’s clinic, a food bank, a refugee youth program and classes in English and U.S. citizenship, according to its Facebook page. Various cultural groups also use space at the facility for their events. The refugees who come to Mango House are mostly from the Middle East and Africa.

Leaked Trump Executive Order Bans International Travel for Permanent Residents and Legal Visa Holders From Certain Countries

Joseph Law Firm, P.C. reports that an executive order leaked to the public from the Trump administration indicates that he will seek authority to ban international travel to nationals of certain countries even if they are here in valid legal status.

Aurora, Colorado (PRWEB) January 29, 2017

In anticipation of President Trump’s signing of a leaked Executive Order barring the entry of nationals of certain countries from entering the United States, Joseph Law Firm is advising nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, not to travel outside the United States. In addition, foreign nationals from those countries with valid visas, green cards, or other entry documents should consider returning to the United States immediately before the signing of this Executive Order. Other countries could also be added.

Note that the proposed order bars entry to the U.S. even if the foreign national has a valid visa, Temporary Protected Status, Lawful Permanent Resident (green card) status, or any other entry document.

Senior Partner and Immigration Attorney, Jeff Joseph, stated, "Pure and simple, President Trump's draft executive order is a thinly veiled effort to scapegoat Muslims and will not make America safer. Banning travel for people based solely on the country they are from even after they have already been vetted by immigration is ineffective and overreaching. We should focus our attention on people for whom we have actual grounds for concern or suspicion. President Trump is basing these policies on a combination of an unfounded fear, debunked information, and xenophobic pressures."

Access to affordable dental services for children continues to be an under met need in the United States. In fact, according to the Guide to Children’s Dental Care in Medicaid, tooth decay is the single most common chronic disease among U.S. children. Lower-income and minority children are far less likely to have routine dental checkups and suffer disproportionate rates of tooth decay with 80 percent of cavities in permanent teeth impacting just 25 percent of U.S. children.

All Adventure Dental, Vision & Orthodontics locations will be celebrating Dental Health Month throughout February with special games and prizes to educate patients and parents about the benefits of regular dental care. See what patients have to say about their experience at Adventure Dental.

Edison issues review on Standard Life Equity Income Trust (SLET)

EQS-News: Edison Investment Research Limited / Key word(s): Investment

30-Jan-2017 / 12:51 GMT/BST --------------------

London, UK, 30 January 2017

*Edison issues review on Standard Life Equity Income Trust (SLET)*

Standard Life Equity Income Trust (SLET) aims to generate above-average income and real growth in capital and income from a portfolio of UK equities across the capitalisation spectrum. At end-December 2016, more than 55% of the portfolio was invested outside of the FTSE 100 index. While the last year has seen a tough period of relative investment performance as a result of outperformance of large-cap companies with overseas earnings, which were not held, SLET continues to have a good long-term track record; it has outperformed the benchmark FTSE All-Share index over both five and 10 years. With the exception of one year of static dividends, SLET's annual dividend has increased every year since launch.

SLET's current 7.4% share price discount to cum-income NAV is wider than the averages of the last one, three, five and 10 years (range of 2.3% to 4.0%). This offers potential for the discount to narrow if near-term relative performance improves. SLET's board aims to grow the dividend in real terms - over the last five years, annual dividends have compounded at an average rate of 4.4% pa. Its current dividend yield of 3.9% is above the peer group average.

Edison initiates coverage of Palace Capital (PCA)

London, UK, 31 January 2017

*Edison initiates coverage of Palace Capital (PCA)*

Palace Capital (Palace) invests in commercial real estate outside London, mainly through corporate acquisitions. Palace has more capital flexibility to reinvest in its portfolio than many REITs and has successfully provided capital growth plus a comparable yield by recycling capital and improving its properties through active asset management. Palace selects properties in good locations near public transport, typically with scope for physical improvement, possibly including redevelopment, change of use or active management. In this way it gains access to higher yields than are available in London, while providing tenants with good accommodation at reasonable rents, and investors with sustainable income and value growth.

Given the potential to beat our estimates and to deliver both solid earnings and NAV growth, we believe Palace's current discount to EPRA NAV (c 18%) is high, especially compared with a regional peer group that trades at a premium to NAV on average. The 6.3% portfolio net initial yield and low cost of debt support a dividend yield of c 5%, similar to REIT peers, with the added prospect of NAV growth.

Edison initiates coverage of Xbrane Biopharma (XBRANE)

31-Jan-2017 / 12:02 GMT/BST --------------------

London, UK, 31 January 2017

*Edison initiates coverage of Xbrane Biopharma (XBRANE)*

Xbrane's first sales in 2017 will be of Spherotide: the first generic formulation of the prostate cancer therapy triptorelin (cancer sales about $380m). A SEK7m order is ready for shipment to Iran, once authorised. A Chinese deal worth SEK17m upfront, $8m total, may be signed in Q117. European partnering and launches are possible from 2019 after clinical trials. Xbrane (or a partner) may sell Xlucane, its low-cost biosimilar of Lucentis (2015 sales $3.6bn), in the US after 2021 and from 2022 in Europe.

The value of the Edison forecast cash flows between 2017 and 2030 is estimated at SEK170m with a continuing NPV at a -1% growth rate of SEK202m. This gives a combined value of SEK372m and equates to SEK78 a share. We assume a partner is prepared to fund half the SEK230m cost of Xlucane trials from 2017, but there is still potential for further dilution. Management anticipates that revenue from deals and sales could meet 2018 cash requirements; a Spherotide EU partnering deal is anticipated similar to the China deal. Delayed or smaller deals could lead to a funding need estimated by Edison at up to SEK100m.

Blue Pillar Launches New Offering to Unlock the Value of Behind-the-Meter Data and Control

Aurora Energy Network-as-a-Service (ENaaS) offering delivers missing data and control needed by energy and application providers to drive a new era of revenue-generating services

San Diego, CA DistribuTECH 2017 (PRWEB) January 31, 2017

Blue Pillar, the only Internet of Things (IoT) provider to connect all Energy Things™, today announced its new Aurora® Energy Network-as-a-Service (ENaaS) offering to advance the company’s mission to simplify access to behind-the-meter data and control from any type of distributed energy resource that generates, stores, switches, consumes or measures energy. The Aurora ENaaS offering provides the simplest, most affordable path to delivering next generation energy services that require real-time data and control behind-the-meter.

The new offering is a seamless, end-to-end service built on Blue Pillar’s award-winning Aurora platform that allows energy service providers (ESPs), utilities and application providers to access behind-the-meter data and control. The Aurora ENaaS offering includes full lifecycle management. Blue Pillar’s ENaaS offering eliminates operational deployment and maintenance concerns and delivers all hardware, installation and configuration required to keep the network alive. Behind-the-meter data and control is accessible through an open Application Program Interface (API) that dramatically reduces development time and costs.

Launched at DistribuTECH 2016, Aurora’s greatest competitive advantage has been its ability to utilize a software automated deployment approach to connect any Distributed Energy Resource (DER) or legacy asset that generates, stores, consumes, switches or measures electricity. These devices include meters (water, gas and electric), generators (diesel and gas), energy storage, solar panels, fuel cells, boilers, HVAC control panels, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, Building Automation Systems, fuel cells and any other energy equipment found behind-the-meter. The new Aurora ENaaS offering uses Aurora to deliver the same automated platform benefits in addition to the comprehensive management needed to keep behind-the-meter networks operational.

“Since launching Aurora, we’ve worked closely with a number of energy service providers, application providers and utilities who are using the platform to quickly connect distributed energy resources utilizing Aurora’s software automated deployment tools and secure platform architecture,” said Tom Willie, CEO of Blue Pillar. “We’ve also learned these customers often lack the ability to deploy, maintain and manage these networks after commissioning and need an end-to-end, cradle-to-grave service. That is why we are excited to introduce our comprehensive ‘turnkey’ approach that takes our customers out of the energy control networking business and allows them to gain a competitive edge by focusing their efforts on how real-time data and control can differentiate their business.”

The Aurora ENaaS offering is ideally suited to handle a multitude of verticals, services and application needs within the energy industry including:· DR service providers needing settlement data or behind-the-meter load control.
· Retail energy service providers offering innovative new energy management services which rely on behind-the-meter data from systems such as meters and sub-meters, building automation systems and generation assets.
· Energy service providers looking to harness the potential from rapidly growing national generation fleets comprised of thousands of behind-the-meter DERs and legacy generators requiring real-time operational data and control.
· Utilities deploying a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) that requires behind-the-meter orchestration of customer-side energy systems and resources.
· Application Providers including Energy Management, DERMS and Demand Response Optimization and Management Systems (DROMs) developers who want to offer a turnkey solution which includes site enablement but want to avoid the “necessary evil” of building these behind-the-meter networks.

Learn More by Scheduling a Meeting at DistribuTECH Booth #1007
Blue Pillar will host meetings to discuss its Aurora ENaaS offering at DistribuTECH 2017. Meetings can be scheduled online or by visiting Booth #1007 on the exhibit hall at the San Diego Convention Center from 11am Pacific time January 31 until 2pm February 2.

Pricing and Availability
The Aurora ENaaS offering is currently available for purchase. A full listing of platform benefits and architecture can be found on our website.

About Blue Pillar
Blue Pillar connects the Energy Things that power our world. The only IoT solution to unite all Energy Things onto a single platform, Blue Pillar unleashes the power of real-time data to strengthen critical infrastructure and accelerate business. Blue Pillar’s Aurora is automated through a template-driven process where security is built-in from sensor to cloud. With Blue Pillar, companies have unprecedented insight into their energy needs to become more efficient and have peace of mind that when the grid goes down, their business will continue forward. Learn more at bluepillar.com or on Twitter at @bluepillarinc.

Edison issues review on Deutsche Beteiligungs

31-Jan-2017 / 16:15 GMT/BST --------------------

London, UK, 31 January 2017

*Edison issues review on Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAN)*

FY16 proved to be a significant year for Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG). In addition to generating strong NAV returns and maintaining an elevated level of portfolio activity similar to FY15, the scale of the business was increased materially by the launch of DBAG Fund VII, with commitments of EUR1bn, and DBAG's EUR38.6m capital increase. These developments have broadened the opportunity set for potential investments and position DBAG favourably to grow portfolio value over the medium term, while a new sustainable dividend policy aims to provide shareholders with greater visibility over future distributions.

DBAG shares are trading at a 36.2% premium to 30 September 2016 NAV. In our view, the c EUR130m premium represents the market-implied value of DBAG's fund services business, which is not reflected in the NAV. A EUR1.20 dividend has been proposed for FY16, representing a 3.6% yield and setting a base level for payments in future years under the new dividend policy.

Marmota Energy’s (ASX:MEU) phase 2 drilling program at its Aurora Tank Gold Project in South Australia has returned multiple significant gold intersections, all close to the surface. The Aurora Tank project is situated 50 kilometres northeast of Kingsgate Consolidated’s (ASX:KCN) Challenger gold mine, which has produced over one million ounces of gold. Marmota drilled 14 new intersections greater than 1 g/t gold (+4 metres composite samples) including: - 4 metres at 5.0 g/t gold from 32 metres (8 metres at 3.6 g/t gold from 32 metres); - 4 metres at 3.1 g/t gold from 16 metres; and - 4 metres at 3.2 g/t gold from 12 metres. The latest drilling extends the significant results from Marmota’s September program, yielding the best 4 metre composite result to date. Marmota is searching for Challenger-style gold systems in its tenements covering more than 5,000 square kilometres of prospective area in the Gawler Craton. The latest drilling has confirmed significant gold mineralisation over a 750 metre strike length, with mineralisation consistently within 50 metres of the surface. Marmota will now carry out analysis of 1 metre drill samples over interesting intersections and analyse the data to interpret the geometry of mineralised zones to help select the next target locations. Subsequently, a drilling program will expand the number of planned holes, and will consist of closer spaced drilling to prove geological continuity and enable a JORC compliant mineral assessment. Marmota’s share price has increased by about 33% since the start of this year, last trading at $0.024. Reported by Proactive Investors 8 hours ago.

Artificial intelligence software enables real-time, near-optimal scheduling while reducing manpower needs for NASA’s next generation Space Launch System

(PRWEB) January 25, 2017

Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. today announced the award of a contract with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. to support operational use of Aurora-KSC, an advanced software system for scheduling ground processing operations at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for the Space Launch System (SLS). Based on Stottler Henke’s Aurora™ intelligent scheduling software, Aurora-KSC greatly reduces the manpower required from expert schedulers while shortening turnaround time when scheduling SLS processing operations. The Space Launch System is the world’s most powerful rocket, designed to travel to asteroids, Mars, and beyond. Jacobs Engineering Group provides testing and operations support services to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

To process payloads, prepare vehicles for launch, and launch the vehicles, Kennedy Space Center (KSC) must efficiently manage the use of unique, expensive and limited resources such as the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), Launch Equipment Test Facilities, launch pads, mobile launchers, crawlers, general and specialized processing facilities, numerous smaller facilities and resources, and manpower. For example, the Vehicle Assembly Building is one of the largest buildings in the world by volume, originally built to support vertical assembly of the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program.

Managing ground operations is extremely challenging. Schedules must obey complex constraints imposed by ground rules, safety requirements, and the unique needs of processing vehicles and payloads destined for space. For example, some operations are designated as hazardous, which means that when they are being performed, other activities cannot be performed in a defined volume of space. In addition, schedules must be generated at multiple time scales and synchronized. Launch manifests are planned years in advance to allow time to produce the launch vehicles and payloads, daily ground operations are often planned to the minute, and countdowns are planned to the second.

Since the 1990s, Stottler Henke has been working with NASA KSC to provide intelligent scheduling systems for managing ground operations more efficiently. For 18 years, Stottler Henke’s Automated Manifest Planner (AMP) and its successor system, Aurora/AMP, generated short- and long-term schedules of Space Shuttle preparation and refurbishment activities before and after each flight, automatically setting the launch dates for the Shuttle program. Aurora software was also used to schedule the use of floor space and other resources at the Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF), the world’s largest low-particle clean room environment where International Space Station components were prepared for space flight.

Aurora-KSC is the newest scheduling software developed by Stottler Henke for Kennedy Space Center. Aurora-KSC improves the scheduling of ground-based processing, verification, and validation for the Space Launch System. Enhancements include near-optimal schedules, faster scheduling in response to changes and what-if queries, reduced requirements for highly skilled human planners, and data exchange with Primavera P6 project management software. Faster scheduling is especially important when re-planning is necessary close to launch time.

Aurora™ is the world’s leading planning and scheduling system that uses artificial intelligence. It was originally developed to help NASA tackle difficult, mission-critical scheduling problems with complex constraints by incorporating the judgment and experience of expert human schedulers. Most other systems use simple rules to select and schedule activities and assign resources to carry them out. Often, these schedules are far from optimal. Aurora outperforms conventional software because it uses artificial intelligence technologies to encode and apply extensive scheduling knowledge and rules. The Boeing Company uses Aurora to manage the process of building the Boeing 787 Dreamliner™ commercial airliner, and NASA used Aurora at Kennedy Space Center to schedule International Space Station payload and Shuttle processing activities. Other users of Aurora software include Pfizer, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Korean Aerospace Industries, Massachusetts General Hospital, Bombardier Learjet, Alaska Airlines, the US Air Force, and the US Navy. Aurora was featured in NASA’s Hallmarks of Success video series which showcases successful spin-off technologies.

Founded in 1988, Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. applies artificial intelligence and other advanced software technologies to solve problems that defy solution using traditional approaches. The company delivers intelligent software solutions for education and training, planning and scheduling, knowledge management and discovery, decision support, and software development. In 2012, Stottler Henke, in a White House ceremony, was awarded the prestigious Tibbetts award, which honors small businesses for outstanding technical achievements and innovativeness. US Government agencies have designated ten Stottler Henke systems as Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) success stories. Four Stottler Henke systems have been included in Spinoff, NASA's showcase of successful spinoff technologies. Stottler Henke was the subject of a NASA Hallmarks of Success video profile for its work developing and later commercializing advanced scheduling and training software systems. Stottler Henke received a “Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning” award for innovative technology. Stottler Henke was named one of the "Top 100" companies making a significant impact on the military training industry by Military Training Technology magazine for 2016 and eleven previous years. Stottler Henke has received a Blue Ribbon from Military Training Technology magazine, recognizing it as a company that leads the industry in innovation.
