Who Invests in Hedge Funds in My State?ManagedFunds
The Hedge Fund Investor Map takes publicly available data from both public and private pension plans, university endowments, and foundations in all 50 states to show what groups are investing in hedge funds. Public pensions such as the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, or Florida Retirement System, and corporate pensions like UPS, 3M, or John Deere all invest in hedge funds. In fact, public pension funds represent the largest portion of capital invested in hedge funds by institutional investors at over 22%.
How Passage of the JOBS Act Impacts Regulation D: Private Placement and Gene...ManagedFunds
The JOBS Act impacts Regulation D by removing the ban on general solicitation and advertising for private offerings conducted under Rule 506 of Regulation D. This allows alternative investment managers and other private offering issuers to communicate more freely about their businesses with potential investors and the public. It is intended to increase transparency within the alternative investment industry while still limiting actual securities sales to accredited investors.
This document discusses how people present different identities online than they do in real life. It notes that while virtual worlds allow people to be their "idealised selves", some take on fake online identities to harm others. As an example, it mentions a case where a man posed as a teenage girl on Facebook to lure and murder a victim. The document concludes by listing several reference sources on topics related to online identity and behavior.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The Australian government committed $125.8 million over four years to address cyber-safety issues, as criminals were increasingly taking advantage of anonymity online to target individuals. A serial sex offender was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping, raping, and murdering a teenager he lured using a fake Facebook profile. Governments are proposing more enforcement measures to protect citizens from those misusing virtual worlds and social media.
This document contains lists of tables, figures, plates, and graphs as well as abbreviations related to research on manufacturing particleboard from oil palm fronds. There are 4 tables that analyze the variance in mechanical and physical properties of the particleboard including modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, internal bonding, and thickness swelling tests. Additionally, there are 7 figures that provide ANOVA analyses of these properties for different particle sizes and resin contents. The document also includes 10 plates that illustrate the manufacturing process and testing of the particleboard and 5 graphs that show the results of the MOE, MOR, internal bonding, thickness swelling, and water absorption tests. Finally, the list of abbreviations defines technical terms used in the research such as

The document discusses several options for implementing private cloud security and resiliency:
1. UEFI Secure Boot helps prevent unauthorized operating systems from loading during the boot process by only loading verified and certified operating systems.
2. Network adapter ACLs on virtual machines can be used to control network traffic by allowing or denying traffic based on MAC addresses and traffic direction.
3. Enabling MAC address spoofing on virtual machine network adapters allows VMs to change their MAC address to enhance security.
4. Different resilience strategies like application-level clustering or infrastructure-level failover clustering can provide high availability depending on application needs and infrastructure capabilities.
