, Chris Tindal, gave a detailed update on the Navy’s efforts to establish biofuels as a viable alternative to petroleum in its supply chain. In this slide, he summarized the key timelines and milestones related to awards and key fuel RFPs.
Raymond James’ Pavel Molchanov, in his thoughtful overview on biofuels tech stocks, gave this highly useful overview of the criteria that investors generally have in ind when evaluating upcoming IPOs.
7. What to be thinking about in 2014.
Wilson, Sonsini’s Chris Groobey provided a succinct and on-point summary of the realities of financing in today’s market. We especially liked this one – giving a lucid and brief overview of the most important opportunities for the year ahead.
With so much discussion of natural gas these days — and the challenges in finding financing for projects — ARPA-E has been investing heavily in the methane-conversion pathway. In this case, bioconversion of methane to higher value fuels and chemicals. In this slide, ARPA-E’s Ramon Gonzalez highlighted the $2.00 per gallon goal for fuels produced from natural gas.
In addition, ARPA-E’s Jonathan Burbaum highlighted Project PETRO, and offered this key slide on ARPA-E’s project criteria.
Citi’s Michael Eckhart was back on stage this year with a broad look at carbon-related financing — looking at the broad sweep of renewables and bio’s place in that spectrum. In this slide, he dramatically demonstrates the reason that the world is looking at carbon financing with increasing urgency: daunting carbon scenarios based on current policy. It’s a reason for bio to be well-focused on demonstrating its emission-reducing potential.
In this slide, Bill Lese of Braemar Energy Ventures took us through the venture criteria — including thoughts on market size, risk, team and timing.
13. Highlights from Heartland on financing structure for projects north of $20 million.
How do the big projects get structured – what role for bonds, equity, and who buys what and why? Here. Heartland Bank’s Phil Thomas takes us through the highlights.
14. What’s in the Farm Bill related to finance?
Loan guarantees and other financial assistance — recently, an important aspect of the Farm Bill as the USDA takes the lead on commercializing bio-related technologies. Here, Kreig DeVault’s John Kirkwood takes us through the key need to knowns for the 2014 Farm Bill just signed into law.
Q: Adobe flash(cs5) how to replace animations I have a symbol of a person standing, he have child movieClips like hands, legs, head, body....so then if i press a button or click in the stage how do i need to change the animation instantly?
I suppose:
1) create a new movieClip that has all the same parts but animated as walking(for example) and then make something like:
if(keypressed)
{
   person.replaceSymbol(myNewAnimatedSymbol); //method that not exist
}

2) for example if my standing animation longs from 1 to 30, i can make another animation in the same line let's say from 31 to 60 where he is running and then write:
if(keypressed)
{
   person.legs.gotoAndPlay(31); //in the 60 frame he go back to 31 by using gotoAndPlay(31)
   person.hands.gotoAndPlay(31);
   person.body.gotoAndPlay(31); //and so on...
}

Can you give me an advice of which of methods I need to use? or if you have a better idea how to make it...

A: Hm-m-m. I'd say your second approach is easier to both draw and control, especially if it'll eventually come to reskinning your MC, say your person will get dressed in a cloak that's attached to the body and arms, your "new animated symbol" will likely require a change to accommodate that clothing, while in case of one symbol you can assign its parts another look, like say person.hands.cover=clothing.handpart; person.legs.cover=clothing.legpart etc, and then the animation will contain references to cover being changed, so that correct parts of clothing will appear around all the moving parts.
In fact, you might not need separating your person into different body, hands, legs etc MCs, but instead make it so that your person's legs are a container that can hold either a bare body part (naked leg drawing) or a dressed body part (a boot, pants, etc), and animate the main part by making these containers move according to how a person should walk, stand, run, attack etc etc., so that you will have a single point to dress the entire set of your person's animations.

A: It depends for example my character has around 100 animations. Putting them in a single timeline and telling them to go from this label to that label (or frame) is a huge mess to manage.
So I have 100 library items with export symbols. I keep on switching between them. This makes it easy to manage.
So, I think the question is how many animations do you have? Can you manage them in a single timelines? If you can, I'd say go with labels or frame jumps.
Both of your methods are correct and your second method would be faster because you're not adding or removing anything from the display list.
Bulletin board system or BBS is a computer server running software that allows users to connect to the system using a terminal program. Once logged in, the user can perform functions such as uploading and downloading software and data, reading news and bulletins, and exchanging messages with other users through email, public message boards, and sometimes via direct chatting. Many BBSes also offer on-line games in which users can compete with each other, and BBSes with multiple phone lines often provide chat rooms, allowing users to interact with each other. Bulletin board systems were in many ways a precursor to the modern form of the World Wide Web, social networks, and other aspects of the Internet. Low-cost, high-performance modems drove the use of online servicesand BBSes through the early 1990s. Infoworld estimated that there were 60,000 BBSes serving 17 million users in the United States alone in 1994, a collective market much larger than major online services such as CompuServe.
Plenty of game here! 100+ acres near lake wateree! prime hunting and/or recreational tract...
Historic homes have a story to tell, and this story is full of southern grace, timeless elegance, and nothing short of magical...
This beaver creek home provides plenty of room for lakeside entertaining or quiet relaxation...I hope you feel better, very soon. Here are some of my favorites when I need to settle in and take care of myself.  

Series: just finished Sens8 and really enjoyed it. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was fun but I had to watch it in small amounts (high energy!). Daredevil if you like superheroes.  Just started Grace and Frankie and it looks really good. Sherlock was good! Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Movies: Star Trek into Darkness, Galaxy Quest, Chef, Practical Magic, Fargo, 50 First Dates (and if you have HBO, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are really good in Blended. I'm not an Adam Sandler fan but there's something about him and Drew that I can't explain...), Forest Gump, The Fifth Element, Clerks

For a laugh, Bo Burnham: what  :)I was given an iPad 1st gen with IOS 4.3 a while back. I've used it a bit and added things like Audio.com books, some songs, some apps, etc. Now I find I need IOS 6 to get some newer apps.
How do I upgrade from 4.3 to 6 without losing any of myiPad settings or apps/audio books/etc? With 4.3 I can not use iCloud for backups? I'm concerned that if I simply try to go from 4.3 to 6 that I'll end up with an iPad that won't work, or that I'll lose all my settings and apps and then not know how to fix things.
I grew up using PCs and am a novice with the iPad.
Unfortunately, a first generation iPad (the iPad1) can only go up to iOS 5.1.1. Apple did not make it so this iPad can go any higher.
To upgrade to iOS 5.1, you'll first want to make a backup in iTunes. Then, after the upgrade, you can restore that backup - which makes it so you've lost no data, settings or app data. It's part of the upgrade process (you make the backup - iTunes wipes the device to put the new iOS on - when prompted during the process, you elect to use your backup). It's worked well for me over many upgrades (I started with iOS 3.x something).
Again, that won't help you use apps that require iOS 6.x. With those, I'm afraid you can't install them (or upgrade them if they are already on your iPad). Sorry.
Hello Bob. You will not be able to upgrade your iPad1 to iOS6 simply because it has only 256MB of RAM and will not sustain the iOS6 firmware. IOS6 is unfortunately not compatible with your nice machine. And I
