Fitch Ratings affirms the National rating on Sobha Developers Limited's (Sobha) short-term debt programme at 'F1(ind)'
The rating reflects Sobha's strong market position as a premium residential property developer in South India, and its established track record in the contract construction sector.
Sobha has over a decade of experience in the residential property market in Bangalore, and recently expanded to Trissur and Pune, with plans to enter other cities such as Mysore, Chennai and Coimbatore in the next one to two years.
Sobha has land reserves of 4,012 acres as of October 2007, spread across ten cities.
Its contract construction business has been primarily driven by a long-standing association with Infosys, and the company continues to be associated with Infosys' domestic campus expansion plans.
Meanwhile, the rating is supported by relatively stable cash flows from the contractual construction business which also continues to diversify the revenue streams of the company.
Sobha's financial leverage (Debt/EBITDA) improved in FY07 following an Initial Public Offering, part of the proceeds of which have been used to repay debt and project-related expenses.
As of November 2007, Sobha had 36 ongoing real estate projects, consisting of 11.97m sq feet of saleable area. These consist of 30 residential projects (11.5m sq ft) and six commercial projects (0.4m sq ft). On the contractual construction front, Sobha has 31 projects (8.46 m sq. feet) under execution.
Nonetheless, the rating is tempered on account of Sobha's plans of extending its real estate business to new cities, and its proposed entry into the retail and hospitality segment, where it is a new entrant.
Fitch notes, however, that Sobha has contractual construction experience in the new cities where residential properties are proposed to be developed, and has some familiarity with these markets.
Although Sobha has added new clients in its contractual construction business, a large portion of contractual revenues (90% in FY07) continue to come in from Infosys, adding concentration risk to this business segment.
The higher contribution of real estate to total revenues could also make the company more vulnerable to volatility in this sector that has seen a sharp price rise over the last three years.
Moreover, land might have been acquired during the last two to three years at increased prices, which could affect the company's margins in the event of a fall in property prices.
Fitch expects free cash flows over the next few years to remain negative, as Sobha continues to expand its operations and acquire additional land. While the residential real estate projects are funded in part by customer advances, the increasing contribution of commercial projects (hotels, retail and office space) could result in a higher requirement of working capital.
These are likely to increase overall debt levels and financial leverage in the short to medium term.
Successful foray into new geographies and achieving planned growth without adversely affecting debt metrics could act as positive triggers for the rating.
However, the rating could be adversely affected by additional significant debt-led projects and a downturn in the residential real estate segment in Bangalore, from which Sobha derives a majority of its revenue.
Sobha, founded in 1995, is a leading real estate developer operating in South India.
It derives its revenues from: real estate development and sales (64% of FY07 revenues), contract construction (26% of FY07 revenues), and manufacturing activity.
In FY07, Sobha earned revenue of INR11.86bn and Net Income of INR1.62bn. The total Debt / EBIDTA was 2.3x in FY07, with total debt / equity at 0.7x.

According to rediff news, the Knight Frank India offshore fund will raise investments from high net worth individuals and other investors from the UK and will have an investment threshold of $0.5 million and above.
The knight Frank fund will invest in FDI-complaint projects in India. The fund-raising is expected to begin by January 2008 and will close in a couple of months.
Rutley Capital Partners (RCP), Knight Frank's real estate private equity and investment management arm, is expected to spearhead the launch of the India fund.
Though the company is awaiting certain approvals, it has started discussions with potential investors and is putting a management team to run the fund.
Knight Frank India Executive Director Keku Cola is expected to head the new fund and the group has also roped in Pranav Datta from Mahindra Gesco to head one of its operations.
Though Knight Frank India is operating in the country for the last 12 years and has four offices in Mumbai, Gurgaon, Pune and Bangalore, the new fund will operate independently and have a separate team.
Along with its US-based real estate partner Newmark Knight Frank, the Knight Frank Group's global network encompasses more than 165 offices in 36 countries across six continents. It has over 5,300 professionals and handles some $36.1 billion worth of commercial, agricultural and residential real estate annually.

The joint venture (JV), called Piramal Sunteck Realty Pvt Ltd, will focus on high-end real estate projects in metros and tier-II cities and plans to invest Rs 1,000 crore in the next one year.
According to Business Standard, The Piramal Sunteck Realty Pvt. Ltd. will undertake its first project, a commercial/IT park of over a million square feet, at Sion in Mumbai.
In addition to ultra luxury residential projects, the JV will develop commercial projects, mixed-use townships and SEZs.

"We will strive to leverage the synergies of both the groups to emerge as one of the top realty companies in the country in the coming years," Kamal Khetan, chairman, Sunteck Realty Ltd. said.

Over 70 per cent has been deployed and of eight projects in progress, the fund managers have initiated the process of a partial exit in three. “Strategic exits in a Bangalore retreat comprising villas, a commercial property and a residential venture in Mumbai have raked in returns of 2-2.5 times, within a span of two years,” said Mr Jogani.
INDIAREIT plans to raise Rs 3,800 crore through domestic and offshore offerings by March 2008:
The USPs of INDIAREIT:
Managerial expertise in real estate domain

Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh’s office is now trying to market Bhandara, Chandrapur, Nagpur, Raigad and Nanded as new investment destinations
With investment flow into areas other than the high-profile Mumbai-Pune corridor gaining speed and volume, the state government has now decided to shift focus on infrastructure development to smaller towns across Vidarbha, Marathwada and Konkan regions.
Arguing that such a step will bring equitable development in the state, Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh said, “Unless there is uniform development in every region, the overall well-being of the state will remain a distant dream.” In fact, the CM’s office is now trying to market Bhandara, Chandrapur, Nagpur, Raigad and Nanded as the new destinations for investments.
View Larger Map
Earlier, the government’s insistence to market new destinations other than Mumbai-Pune had often sent investors scouting for locations in other states. Last year, when a private investor sought 500 acres of land in Mumbai for a university, the government promptly refused, sending the investor to Orissa. However, the state is insisting on preparing the grounds to draw investors to new locations within the state.
With 78 mega projects fetching an investment of Rs72,000 crore, the government is expecting direct and indirect employment generation to benefit 1,29,184 people.
In fact, Finance Minister Jayant Patil, who has been harping on improving the communication network, argued that it was “high time we focussed on smaller towns like Jalna, Nanded, Jalgaon and Latur as new destinations for investment. We can achieve this only with proper connectivity through railways and roads.”
A senior secretary in the ministry of finance said, “It is not an easy task even now to market new destinations. Whether it is a private project relating to new educational institutions or industrial units, investors still ask for land adjoining Mumbai and Pune. But we have been working hard to convince them to explore new avenues and partly succeeded in doing so.
How else does one exlain Core Minerals being ready to invest Rs2,500 crore for the alumina plant in Ratnagiri or Supreme Petrochemicals’ Rs1,115 crore at Raigad, Ispat India’s Rs2,000 crore investment in Raigad.”

The Reserve Bank of India has recommended to the finance ministry a series of measures to curb investment flow of venture funds [FM8579-29]
These measures are expected to help check part of the huge inflows of foreign capital, particularly since the last week of July, and plug loopholes in foreign investment norms. Writes Anindita Dey in her story "RBI suggests more curbs on VC funds" on Business Standard.
Venture Finance for mature sectors like real estate:RBI has suggested restrictions on investments by venture capital funds in sectors that are already developed and booming. RBI has said that venture funds by definition should be investing in high-risk ventures in which entrepreneurs are unable to access capital and not in mature sectors like real estate.
Isn't real estate "high-risk venture"? Do banks finance for land acquisition? Ask any builder, nobody will say Indian Real Estate is a 'mature sector'. In short, this has become a love triangle and RBI is not happy with Indian Real Estate's "affair".
Overseas borrowing without restrictions!:RBI has suggested that FDI in real estate be brought under the approval route — such investment is currently under the automatic route.
The RBI has suggested that there should be end-use restrictions for investments by foreign venture capital funds.
It has also sought a time-frame within which companies have to allot shares to foreign entities after receiving advance payments. This is designed to curb a practice by Indian companies of using advance payments from foreign sources as loans and then returning the money.
Such transactions amount to overseas borrowings without restrictions. Overseas borrowings are currently locked in for a minimum of three years and the interest paid is capped at 150 basis points above the benchmark London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) for borrowings of three years and above; and 250 basis points above Libor for borrowings of five years and more.
Thanks to sub-prime crisis, at least Indian real estate investors have become less critical of the RIB's policies.

Flogging Molly lead singer and lyricist Dave King took the saying "write what you know" to heart on his band's latest album.
"Speed of Darkness" was written primarily in Detroit, a city hit harder than most by the economic downturn of the past few years.
All seven members of the group squeezed into the basement of the home King shares with his wife and fellow band member, Bridget Regan. They fine-tuned and rehearsed the songs that ultimately would make up the record, which focuses on the recession and its harsh impact on the working class.
While not a concept album, "Speed" was clearly influenced by the band's surroundings.
"We walk around here with him every day," King said during a recent interview at the house, pointing to his panting dog, an Irish wolfhound. "And you'll walk by six, seven, eight, nine houses that are just abandoned."
One day, driving in the city, King spotted a burned-out factory on which someone had spray-painted the words: "Shut 'em down."
All of this "really started to affect" his songwriting, King said.
Regan said "the city started to become almost a muse for the album," which is the first put out on Flogging Molly's own record label, Borstal Beat.
The result was another hit record — 2008's "Float" debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard chart — and a sense of satisfaction knowing they'd successfully taken what King calls "a big step" forward.
"Speed" marks the fifth album for the genre-defying band that's perfectly at home in front of fans of any number of musical types.
Flogging Molly headlined a punk music festival in England one night two summers ago and played at a folk event in Belgium the next. The day after that they were in Germany — this time thrashing out at a heavy metal fest.
"We don't label ourselves," Regan said. "Because we can't."
Flogging Molly may be masters of eschewing simple musical classification, but they haven't been able to avoid success.
"Speed of Darkness" opened at No. 9 earlier this year; not bad for an oversized band that has never had a major-label record deal and whose members play instruments not typically associated with rock music — tin whistle, accordion, concertina and uilleann pipes.
"We were told by people in the music industry that we were nothing and would never amount to anything more than a bar band," Regan said.
"We were like, 'Screw that. We'll show them.'"
And they did.
King and Regan met in 1997 at a Los Angeles bar called Molly Malone's. After forming the band, they agreed to play Monday nights there for $40 per person and two drink tickets each. They played the bar so often and for so long — a year and a half — they decided on the name Flogging Molly for the band. During that time, they also perfected their unique sound, which infuses punk rock with Celtic instruments.
They eventually branched out to other venues and garnered a rabid following of fans who continue to come out in droves to see the band during its aggressive and wide-ranging touring schedule. They're set to play a trio of dates this weekend on the East Coast before embarking on a three-week tour of Canada. Then they're off to Europe.
"We're growing as people and maturing, and I'm sorry, but we'd be bored to tears if we kept" making the same kinds of records, Regan said. "It's not that big of a stretch what we're doing. It always seemed like a natural progression to us."

Recent headlines about the challenges of real estate development revolve around rising costs and supply delays. But if you ask a developer about their biggest project headaches, they’ll probably talk less about costs of construction and more about community opposition.
Some neighbors embody the definition of a NIMBY, someone who doesn’t want any change in their neighborhood. There is little that can be done to appease this crowd. Most people, though, just want a say in what’s going to change about the place where they live. And when out-of-town developers come in with a plan to fundamentally change a neighborhood, for better or worse, that’s going to cause anxiety. Neighbors, even if they aren’t NIMBYs, are going to ask questions and push developers and architects to consider the repercussions of their plans. Most don’t always understand why the choices that are best for their neighborhoods don’t pencil into a redevelopment budget.
So rather than letting real estate companies define what’s going to happen in their neighborhoods, residents are banding together to become landowners and landlords to reinvest in their communities on their own terms.
The concept of community-owned and operated real estate projects isn’t new. Housing co-ops, community development corporations, and community land trusts have roots in the 19th century and were created as a way to give citizens literal ownership of their neighborhood. The concept has grown in popularity since the 2008 market crash that hurt so many cities and towns across the country with foreclosures and abandoned properties. The pandemic has spurred another round of interest in community-led real estate investing from micro-investments supporting brick-and-mortar storefronts to entire streets and neighborhoods being run by community land trusts.
Community land trusts (CLTs) are structured as nonprofit organizations which acquire and own real estate that is then, at least ideally, used in a way that reflects the values, needs, and desires of the associated community. Many community land trusts are formed to buy housing properties, revitalize them, and then sell the homes to qualifying community members, most commonly citizens that earn below the average median income. The trusts maintain ownership of the land via a ground lease so the properties on that land, whether they be for housing or commercial, will continue to serve the purpose of the trust, even after the buildings on that land are sold.
This can be a useful tool in fighting back against the inequities that exist in real estate ownership, especially in neighborhoods that are gentrifying and displacing long-time residents. Homeowners get the benefit of building wealth that they couldn’t necessarily if they were renting or priced out of homeownership. Today, there are more than 225 CLTs in the United States, with a growing number in urban areas.
In New York City, the Interboro Community Land Trust was formed in 2017 to provide permanently affordable housing opportunities across the city, with its first projects in Brooklyn, the South Bronx, and southeast Queens. In April, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city will build 16 new single-family homes on city-owned, vacant properties in the South Bronx to Passive House, carbon-neutral standard, with the land being transferred to the Interboro CLT to preserve long-term affordability.
The Kensington Corridor Trust in Philadelphia is leveraging a slightly different model, known as a neighborhood trust, to revitalize the business district anchored by Kensington Avenue. This neighborhood was once a manufacturing hub and thriving community in the 1800s, dubbed the “Workshop of the World.” However, industrialization in the post-WWII era left the neighborhood without an economic engine. According to the organization, 58 percent of area residents live below the poverty line, with an average household income of $20,505, approximately half of the citywide average.
Unlike a CLT, the Kensington Corridor Trust owns and maintains all the properties it acquires instead of selling those buildings to community members. The trust handles all the rehab work, then rents storefronts and other spaces to neighborhood businesses, reinvesting any profits made back into the neighborhood. The team behind the Kensington Corridor Trust emphasizes the importance of neighborhood-controlled revitalization with the power remaining in the hands of neighbors, not outsiders.
On a smaller scale in San Diego, neighbors are leading a decade-long redevelopment of the Market Creek Plaza, handling everything from the design and construction to the investment funding of the 20-acre, mixed-use project. It is anchored by a retail center with national grocery and retail chains, plus family-owned restaurants, an open-air amphitheater, and a community green space adorned with art installations that celebrate the unique fabric of the neighborhood. Organized by the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, the project’s parameters were defined by community input, from requests for a grocery store to living-wage jobs and investments in local businesses. In fact, 80 percent of the construction budget went to contracts for local, minority, and women-owned businesses. Market Creek Partners, LLC owns the parcel itself, funded by hundreds of community investors.
The small town of West Windsor, Vermont took a similar stand in 2015 after Ascutney Mountain, the local ski area, closed. The closure had a trickle-down effect, hurting the tourist shops, restaurants, and property values in the town. After a record-setting town meeting in terms of attendance, residents voted in favor of purchasing the mountain, in partnership with the state of Vermont and the Trust for Public Land. Today, the ski area is open again, now known as Ascutney Outdoors and run by volunteer town residents rather than a third-party operator. As a result, the population has grown by 20 percent and property values have doubled.
While these community-driven models don’t solve all the inequities that redevelopment and the often-resulting gentrification have, they do put some control back in the hands of neighborhoods that may feel powerless to the changes happening around them. Charles Marohn, author and founder of the Strong Towns movement, has coined these models as a part of a “bottoms-up approach” for creating more resilient communities which should be led by everyday citizens, not just city planners or real estate investors/developers.
These types of community-run development projects will continue to pop up in communities across the country, but will never outnumber traditional developer financed and built projects. They do serve as an important reminder that development isn’t always met with opposition and pushback. But for community conversations about proposed projects to have a more welcoming tone, the dynamic between developers and the community has to fundamentally change.


Crown of pedestrian tunnel to Toronto Island airport complete
May 28, 2013 by STAFF REPORT
The seven drift tunnels that will make up the crown of the pedestrian tunnel to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport are completed.
This marks a significant step in the project to link the Toronto island airport, currently only accessible by ferry, to the mainland.
Geoffrey Wilson, president and CEO of the Toronto Port Authority, said the completion of the seven drift tunnels is a major milestone for the project. “It marks the end of an important phase of construction that takes us one step closer to providing passengers with fast and efficient access to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport,” he said.
Two tunnel boring machines––chip and dale––began construction of the seven interlocking tunnels in March 2012. The tunnels will form a crown to prevent water ingress, and three will be used for City of Toronto water and sanitary mains.
The boring machines can now move onto the project’s next phase to facilitate the excavation of the main pedestrian tunnel, which is expected to be complete by mid-2014.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other experts have rejected a report that a new strain of the novel H1N1 influenza virus has been identified in a Brazilian patient.
Scientists at Adolfo Lutz Bacteriological Institute in Sao Paolo said they found the new strain in a local patient who has recovered, according to a Medical News Today (MNT) report, which was based on information from the institute and Agence France-Presse.
The story said the scientists found "a number of discrete alterations in nucleotide and amino acid sequences" in the isolate´s hemagglutinin (HA) gene. They also analyzed the matrix-protein (MP) gene and found no changes.
But CDC spokesman Joe Quimby in Atlanta discounted the report that the isolate is a new strain. "Our scientists have no knowledge of a new strain of novel A H1N1 influenza," he said.
"It´s the same strain, it´s not a new strain," Quimby added.
The Brazilian researchers labeled the isolate A/Sao/Paolo/1454/H1N1. They deposited the nucleotide sequences for the HA and MP genes in GenBank under accession numbers GQ247724 and GQ250156, the MNT report said.
Vincent Racaniello, PhD, a Columbia University virologist who writes Virology Blog, also dismissed the claim of a new strain.
"Comparison of the amino acid sequence of the HA protein of A/Sao Paulo/1454/H1N1 with those of other isolates of the current pandemic strain reveals no alterations in the HA protein which would allow the virus to infect new hosts," Racaniello wrote in his blog. "The HA protein of this virus and many other 2009 H1N1 isolates are identical. The few amino acid differences with other 2009 H1N1 isolates are in areas that would not be expected to influence antigenicity or host range."
The MNT report said the virus came from a 26-year-old Sao Paolo man who fell ill shortly after returning from a trip to Mexico. He was hospitalized on Apr 24 and later recovered.

KUCHING: Despite the increasing need for mental health assistance especially during this Covid-19 pandemic, there may be many situations that could hinder people from getting timely help, said psychiatrist Dr Bernard Ting.
“Close and prolonged contact for psychiatric consultation may seemingly be a limitation, as social distancing is expected during this pandemic,” he said.
He said the pandemic had inevitably brought rise to many mental health issues, especially when people encountered adversities in their life, such as retrenchment, loss of income, sickness, and so on.
He said common mental health problems included depression, anxiety or panic attacks, adjustment disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol use disorder or other forms of addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and any conditions that significantly affect the quality of life including sleep difficulties, poor attention and concentration, and even suicidal thoughts.
“In general, young adults are more receptive to get psychiatric help, probably due to their better access to resources through media and they can make independent decisions when compared with teenagers and the older population,” he said when contacted recently.
Nevertheless, Dr Ting, who is also a medical lecturer at the Department of Psychological Medicine at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), said the community’s acceptance towards seeking psychiatric help remained low.
He said a possible contribution to this attitude may include religious beliefs and culture.
“Stigma, be it public stigma or self-stigma, could also stop the people from actively seeking help. Most people worry about being labelled as ‘crazy’ while some may have myths about mental disorders,” he said.
He said mental health issues are serious public health concerns, adding that most of the conditions are treatable with proper care and treatment.
“Do not be afraid to seek help, because you may only be helped when you try to look for it. If you are unsure of your condition, get early assessment and treatment from any mental health professional.
“You can make a difference to your life. Life is precious!” urged Dr Ting.
Meanwhile, clinical psychologist and lecturer Dr Chen Yoke Yong felt that public acceptance towards seeking psychiatric help for mental health issues had improved.
She said although the stigma still existed, it had reduced somewhat.
“Psychiatric issues have now become more common due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” she told New Sarawak Tribune.
She hoped for a more open-minded attitude towards psychiatric issues, adding that people could gain a better understanding on the matter by attending webinars, workshops, and talks.
“Those who need help can also call hotlines such as Befrienders or seek assistance from school counsellors. They can also talk about their issues with someone they trust and they may get a different perspective from them,” said Dr Chen.

A former Vice Chairman of Mobil Producing Nigeria and Asiwaju of Okeagbe Akoko in Ondo State, Otunba Solomon Oladunni has called on the Federal and State Governments to embrace tourism in the face of dwindling revenue from oil.
Oladunni while speaking at the grand finale of USE festival of Ogosi Afa Okeagbe Akoko said government and other stakeholders should explore the opportunities embedded in USE festival.
He said government should incorporate the festival in its diversification plans, noting that tourism could be used to generate more revenue for the government, especially at this period that oil, which is the mainstay of the nation’s economy, was not yielding fruits like it used to.
USE festival is one of the many festivals celebrated annually in Ogosi Afa, Okeagbe-Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government Area of Ondo state, South-West Nigeria.
The festival, which ushers in other annual festivals in the community, promotes the rich cultural heritage of the people, with specific reference to the way of life of their forefathers
“The Federal Government should collaborate with the state government and the people of Ogosi Afa Okeagbe in creating a platform where the USE Festival could be showcased for the world to embrace” Oladunni noted
In his address, High Chief Adewumi Efficacy, the Ologotun Igase said USE festival is usually celebrated every February noted that this year’s event was not devoid of the usual funfare, with more active involvement of sons and daughters of the community from within and outside the country.
According to him, we want government to join hand with the people of Ogosi Afa Okeagbe to promote the festival in order to attract more visitors so as to attract more tourists to the event and boost the economy of the state.
“As you can see now, there are cultural displays by the old and the young, who added glitz and glamour to the event. The festival as special and i am urging government at all levels to give special attention to development of culture and tourism potential particularly USE festival”, Adewumi remarked
Also speaking, the Elegiri, Chief Oladimeji Ojo said if proper attentions were paid to tourism and culture; it would not only serve as an alternative source of income but also reinforce the fight against social vices.
The Chairman of the Planning Committee, Basorun Akinwumi Bada who spoke more on the essence of the festival said USE festival has become a major tourist attraction in Okeagbe particularly in Ondo State.
Bada particularly urged the government to repackage USE Festival and develop it into an international tourist event that could generate revenue for the country.
The planning Committee Chairman underscored the need to develop the festival into a tourist attraction by facilitating its restructuring and sponsorship via the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC).
“With what we have seen here today, if we can get the support of international donors and sponsors, USE festival can be taken to an international height where tourists will come from all parts of the world to witness the annual event.
“This will boost the economy of the community, the state and the country at large,” he added.
Other Chiefs who spoke in the same vein are, the Olisa Iruja, Chief Soji Aremo, the Elejofe, Chief Ajayi Festus, the Aro Onile, Chief Akintunde Giw, the Elemofe, Chief Charles Ajakaye and the Sarede, Chief Folorunso Bada. They said development of USE festival would increase the state revenue and local economic and social empowerment of local communities.


I'm very glad that I found another guy to come replace the circuit board and put it away from the water, fix the water leak, and also find and fix another impending failure. All of that was for much less than HVAC Service wanted to charge for repair or replacement. The other guy did a great repair, so I'm confident it will not break down again, but if it does, I will not call HVAC Service. Don't get suckered by their Yelp Deal.
If your compressor doesn’t have an overload button and you hear it humming or buzzing, poke a screwdriver or stick down through the top grille and try to spin the fan blades clockwise. If doing this gives the fan enough of a boost to get it going, the unit has a faulty capacitor that must be replaced. See How to Test and Replace an AC Run Capacitor, above.
"Customer service was great, and the price was in-line with other places, and fast service. We had a whole replacement of the outside and inside. I would have liked to see a better install for the furnace and new thermostat - the new thermostat should have gone where the old one was, and even tho the new furnace was a tight fit, they didn't offer to come back and repair the case molding, or give me a discount on the damage done, and I believe they should have put a disconnect box on the outside of the home, to make it easier for any future repairs needed. Other than that, am very happy with the cooling and heating!"

SALT LAKE CITY — One year after Susan Cox Powell was last seen, family and friends remain hopeful she'll be found.
Police are still treating her disappearance as a missing-persons case, dedicating numerous resources to the investigation. West Valley City Police Sgt. Mike Powell said on Monday that more than 8,000 hours have been spent working on the ongoing investigation, including addressing hundreds of phone calls that continue to come in from the public.
Susan Cox Powell's father, Charles Cox, said police update the family weekly.
"At this point, we want to move on with positive thoughts about her because there's been no body found," he said. "She could still be alive."
He still meets with people who have not heard of the case, and that is lending hope to the possibility that someone who might have seen something critical may still be able to help.
"We're always hopeful of finding her alive," Judy Cox, Susan Cox Powell's mother, said during a telephone interview from Puyallup, Wash., on Monday. "We are also realizing it could be the other way, but we're more hopeful she will be alive."
Susan Cox Powell went missing Dec. 7, 2009, and before her husband, Josh Powell, returned to their West Valley City home with their two sons, some believed the whole family had disappeared. Josh Powell said he had taken the boys camping overnight.
"Every once in a while, I still think she should be walking through that door," said Jennifer Graves, Josh Powell's sister and Susan Cox Powell's friend. "She was such a bright person, such a bright spirit. She just was happy and positive. She was just a bright spot in my life."
After a trying 12 months, Graves believes her brother is responsible for her friend's disappearance, and she has essentially been disowned by her family for her beliefs in the matter. She last spoke to Josh Powell on Jan. 22.
"The fact that he left two weeks after she disappeared, to go on vacation — that is just offensive to me," she said. "Then, he moved a month after she disappeared. That doesn't show actions of a spouse who loves and cares about their spouse."
In addition to losing their daughter, Charles and Judy Cox last saw their grandsons on April 10 at a park in Puyallup. They've been asked to communicate with Josh Powell via e-mail, but they say he doesn't always respond.
"We believe he's the key to telling us what happened to her or at least moving the investigation beyond where it is," said Charles Cox.
Police have yet to name any suspects in the case, however, Josh Powell was named as the only "person of interest" at one point. Since Susan Cox Powell's disappearance, he has made numerous postings on a website he maintains, and has made claims that she ran off with another man or that she left them.
"It doesn't look to me like there would be any possibility that she could admit to her parents, for example, that she was actually out doing something with another guy and going to run off with somebody else," Josh Powell's father, Steve Powell said on Monday. He has also posted information on the site and has recently tried to link Susan Cox Powell's disappearance with that of a St. George man.
"Although it's upsetting, it's also ridiculous," said Charles Cox. "They're flailing about with absolutely no evidence or anything."
Susan Cox Powell's friend, Kiirsi Hellewell, can't believe it has been an entire year with no resolution.
"It's horrible," she said. "It's like walking around all the time with this just overwhelming load of bricks on you, and as the day gets closer and closer to a year that Susan's been gone, it just gets heavier every day."
Friends and family held multiple events Monday to mark the anniversary of her disappearance, including one that focused on a children's story time and gathering books for the Granite School District.
"Instead of doing something that's maybe sadder, like a candlelight vigil, as we've done in the past, we wanted to celebrate Susan's most important role in her life and the thing that meant the most to her, and that is that she was a wonderful mother to her two little boys. She loved to read to them," Hellewell said. Hellewell said her friend wouldn't know anyone was looking for her "because she's either dead or taken against her will and is being held somewhere where she doesn't have access to the luxuries we take for granted."

This is really confusing since I'm looking for kernel virtual machines. Where to find these virtual machines. I know so far that there must exist different vm. The virtual machine is responsible to do mappings between virtual and physical addresses. My application interfers with multiplexing therefor I'd like to test it against other vms.
Sandboxing is the process of testing systems or applications in a lab...
Sandboxing is the process of testing systems or applications in a lab environment. The lab could be made up of computers that are not used in production but only for testing purposes. These system are separate from other important systems. Administrators use virtual machines to manage networks, deploy different OS platforms, applications, and to test other systems. When you hear the term, "Sandbox", it means system testing.

Oscar Knox to lead Celtic heroes out as mascot
A dream will come true tonight for Co Antrim boy Oscar Knox.
The football-mad four-year-old from Mallusk will be Celtic's mascot for its Uefa Champions League second qualifying round tie against Cliftonville.
The Glaswegian Hoops host the Reds in the return leg of the Champions League qualifier.
Celtic hold a 3-0 lead from the first leg in Belfast last week. Their manager, Lurgan's Neil Lennon, is hoping his team complete the job and take a step nearer to the group stages of the competition.
In 2011 Oscar (left) was diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
His story captured the hearts of Celtic fans who raised thousands of pounds for his charity. This year he was given the all-clear.

The door of Yipin Crayfish was slammed open, Ye Cheng strode out, and the door behind him slammed shut.
Then, the door was pushed open again, and Lu Xiao ran after him.
The proprietress couldn’t take it any longer, she rolled up her sleeves and chased out: “Eating gunpowder one by one and getting so angry? I don’t feel bad about co-authoring it because it’s not my own door! Last time was the one in black who threw my door, my mother today. He must be taught a lesson!” The boss hurriedly hugged her.
Ye Cheng took a few steps and was caught by someone behind and grabbed his arm.
“Listen to my explanation.” Lu Xiao dragged him over and said to him.
Ye Cheng looked at him coldly, with an expression of “I see how you make it up”.
Lu Xiao was at a loss for words because of him, so he cleared his throat and said, “I only found out about this a few days ago.”
Ye Cheng laughed, “Continue talking.”
“I’m not kidding!”
“Then why every time I ask you about elementary school, you always think about him?”
Lu Xiao grabbed the corner of his clothes and was speechless.
“No wonder you were able to fool my dad that time,” Ye Cheng sneered, “It turns out to be so hidden.”
Lu Xiao was anxious by him, and gritted his teeth, “Okay, I admit that I already knew about it.”
Ye Cheng’s face sank, “So it’s fun to play with me?”
“I didn’t want to play with you,” Lu Xiao said in a hurry, but he couldn’t think of it, “how do you want me to tell you? Saying that I treat you as a little girl, and telling others that I have a neighbor that looks like a doll? Or? Saying that you are actually a little crying bag, you will sit at the door crying if you don’t get the first place in the exam…”
He just wanted to explain, but he didn’t notice that Ye Cheng’s face was getting colder.
“After you took the mango, I went back to pester Mrs. Wang and asked her to secretly buy a dress for me. I want to give it to you as a gift when we meet next time.” Lu Xiao defended aggrievedly, “Who knows. Later, my mother found out…”
Ye Cheng suddenly felt dizzy, a hot blood rushed to his forehead, and his body swayed twice.
Lu Xiao hurriedly supported him and asked carefully, “Are you alright? Are you uncomfortable?”
Ye Cheng took a few deep breaths, trying her best to endure the urge to greet him on the face, shaking and comparing a number, “Lu Xiao, don’t come to me for three days, and don’t mess with me.”
Lu Xiao heard it, three days? Is this worth it?
He reached out his hand pitifully to pull Yecheng, but he swiped it away.
In the bustling night of Shanhai Road, Lu Xiao stood on the side of the road with his head drooping, making the night scene feel lost and desolate.
After Ye Cheng got home, he locked himself in the room.
Gao Qiulan’s voice came from outside, “Chengcheng, have you shopped online recently? Your courier has arrived.”
He didn’t have any thoughts about other things, and shouted casually: “No, I didn’t buy anything.”
“Oh, well, maybe your dad bought it for me.” Gao Qiulan said to herself, hugging the express box and walking away.
Ye Cheng faced the mirror and lifted the thin hem of his clothes angrily.
The boy’s waistline was thin and tight, and the mermaid line drowned all the way down the edge of his trousers.
“One, two, three…” He counted silently.
Damn, is Lu Xiao blind and can’t see his six pack abs? He is the little girl, and he wears the little skirt.
He snorted coldly, thinking that he must find an opportunity to show his abdominal muscles in front of him, so that he can clearly realize that Lao Tzu is a man.
Although he wished he would have a fight with Lu Xiao now, the girls who ate together today were still stunned.
Another hot post by Xiaocheng appeared in the forum: [Xiaocheng | “What you thought was falling from the sky, it turned out to be a bamboo horse” opened a pit today! 】
The landlord said: woohoo, today is really too sweet to describe in words, I decided to use my meager literary knowledge to write an article for my cp! !
The following pages quickly reached dozens of floors.
1L: Bullfrog, do we have an exclusive section for Xiaocheng?
2L: Support the landlord! A wave of front row squats has been updated!
3L: Hehe, fresh oranges, hehe, suck.
4L: ah ah ah, congratulations on opening the pit, spreading flowers to celebrate!
The landlord wrote a few scenes and plays, among which Ye Cheng was wearing a white silk maid outfit and was pressed on the dining table like this, that, that.
Lu Xiao’s favorite grapes were crushed and dripped down the table.
Ten minutes later, the picture hung up.
The pot exploded below, and those who didn’t see it asked her to post it again.
The landlord immediately added a new picture, and it didn’t take long before it hung up again.
The landlord will make up again, hang up again, make up again, hang up again…
Ye Cheng looked at Jiang Jin’s post, her face flushed with anger.
He changed three numbers and reported it three times, and asked Jiang Jin and Huang Shengan to report it several times. Finally, he sent the post that replied to the 500th floor.
He didn’t know what the landlord was thinking, why… why was the description so real? !
The small white silk skirt and the dining table, these three elements are superimposed together, it is his nightmare.
In fact, he didn’t have such a rejection of skirts at first. Now everyone in this society is playing, and role-playing is also a normal bed interest. But what he couldn’t accept the most was that every time he saw him wearing a skirt, Lu Xiao went crazy.
If his state is 90% when he goes to bed normally, then once he puts on a skirt, his state will go straight to 200%. In the most extreme case, he did not let him go out for several days in a row, which caused him to miss an important meeting, and the two were called by the old man to have a training.
Just in case, Ye Cheng pressed the report again.
And I prayed sincerely in my heart, hoping that Lu Xiao would stop paying attention to anything related to skirts in this life.
When Lu Xiao returned home, he unexpectedly saw Lu Jinnan, who he hadn’t seen for a long time.
The old man was dressed in a gray Tang suit and dressed very plainly. He was drinking slowly with a cup of ginseng tea, and Meng Li next to him looked uneasy.
Lu Jinnan has lived in the old house for a few days since he returned to China.
Lu Xiao was planning to visit him this weekend, but he didn’t expect him to come to Jiulong first.
“Grandpa.” He walked over, stood up and shouted.
The Lu family is full of cattle temperament, among the juniors, Lu Xiao has the wildest temperament.
But even so, he was very restrained when he saw Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan is about to celebrate his 60th birthday this year. His hair is half white, but his spirit is as good as a man in his 40s or 50s. His gestures are neat and tidy, with a sense of majesty.
He put down the cup, looked Lu Xiao up and down, and said with emotion, “I have grown up, and I have grown taller.”
Meng Li sat upright and nodded in agreement, “Last year, he grew very fast, and now he is estimated to be 1.88 meters tall.”
Lu Jinnan said, “It’s a good match for the daughter of Tao Shouren’s family. She is tall and beautiful.”
“Dad, he’s only in the second year of high school.” Meng Li reminded.
Lu Jinnan waved to him and said, “Come here and let Grandpa take a look.”
Lu Xiao walked over and sat down, feeling the touch of his thick palm on his shoulder.
Lu Jinnan smelled of sandalwood, which made people feel reassuring.
He asked, “What happened when your mother said you didn’t want to go to the family reunion?”
Lu Xiao glanced at Meng Li and saw that she was embarrassed, and then he realized that it was probably because she didn’t want to go and used him as an excuse.
It was not easy for him to dismantle it in person, so he had to say: “I don’t know anyone I know, so I don’t know what to do when I go there.”
When he was a child, he was forced to attend this kind of dinner and refused for various reasons.
All kinds of strange men and women, even if they don’t know each other, even pretend to come over to touch his face, and it’s annoying to watch.
But Lu Jinnan didn’t give him the tolerance he had in the past, but patted him on the back and said without refusing: “You’re going to college soon, so it’s time to meet people. If you don’t feel comfortable, bring some friends from the school. come together.”
“Speaking of this, I haven’t settled with you yet.” Lu Jinnan said solemnly, “Your dad said you had to go to that **** school, hmph, don’t bring some random people here.”
Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Our school not only has bad students, but also good students.”
For example, my boyfriend, first in grade.
Lu Jinnan said disdainfully, “Then hang out with good students and bring them back to let me see if you lied.”
“Okay, as long as he has no opinion.” Lu Xiao said.
Lu Jinnan turned to look at Meng Li, “You are coming too, you and Yaoshan, I want to have a good talk with you.”
Meng Li wanted to roll his eyes, but reluctantly agreed, “I see, Dad.”
After Lu Jinnan appeared, the smile she had worked so hard to maintain for a few days was wiped away, and even Lu Xiao noticed something was wrong with her.
After sending Lu Jinnan away, Lu Xiao said to her, “Escape won’t solve the problem, Mom, don’t lie to yourself.”
Meng Li seemed to have returned to his previous state, and went upstairs without saying a word.
The meeting is scheduled for two days.
Lu Xiao called and informed Jiang Jin, he immediately agreed, and asked if he could bring Jiang Yirong to eat and drink. After all, for a dinner party of this level, the things to entertain guests will definitely not be bad.
Hanging up the phone, he ordered a bunch of flowers and asked the driver to drive him to Bai Ze.
His vengeful boyfriend hasn’t paid much attention to him for three days. Today is just the deadline. He has to personally cheer up the little ancestor.
Lu Xiao held the bouquet and pressed the doorbell. After a while, Gao Qiulan came to open the door for him.
“Xiao Lu, you’re here.” She hurriedly let people in.
Lu Xiao handed her the flower and said, “Here, grandma, you like cornflowers.”
Gao Qiulan took it over with a smile, “You’re used to making me happy, unlike ours.”
“Where’s Ye Cheng, is he in the room?” Lu Xiao asked.
Gao Qiulan said, “He’s taking a shower, you sit down for a while, and I’ll pour you a newly bought flower tea.”
“I’m sorry, thank you grandma.”
Lu Xiao sat down on the sofa, Gao Qiulan came over with tea, glanced at the door of the room like a thief, and made sure there was no sign that the door was about to be opened. She said to Lu Xiao, “Little Lu, I ask you something, you have to answer me honestly.”
“You ask.” Lu Xiao took a sip of tea, the faint floral fragrance filled his mouth, and the taste was very good.
Gao Qiulan said solemnly, “Is Orange Orange falling in love?”
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said “Huh?”
Gao Qiulan’s expression didn’t seem to be joking and said, “Don’t cover for him, I know all about it.”
Lu Xiao suddenly became nervous, his palms sweating.
He pretended to take a gulp of tea.
No, how did grandma find out? He thought it was well hidden.
It’s over, what should I do now, he’s not ready yet…
Gao Qiulan said in a low voice, “In his express box two days ago, there was a pink skirt, and it looked like a girl was wearing it.”
Lu Xiao spat out the tea with a puff, and sprinkled it all over the ground like a goddess scattered flowers.
