The current round brings the startup’s total funding to $175 million. It has also boosted its workforce 8X from 100 to 800, even while using AI to automate many administrative activities. Over the past 12 months, Carbon Health’s footprint has grown from a mere seven clinics to 27 in six different states. The current funding certainly takes him closer to that goal. However, several such clinics would be virtually overseen by a qualified doctor.Īccording to the San Francisco Business Times, the startup’s CEO and co-founder Eren Bali has a vision for the company to become the “Starbucks of healthcare.” It also seeks to bring down the cost of clinics in economically weaker locations by having a physical clinic where nurses would perform activities such as diagnostics and screenings. Its model, therefore, caters to patients at its “inviting” physical clinics, as well as via telemedicine from its AI-driven technology platform. That means the method most convenient to the patient. The “Starbucks of healthcare”īased in San Francisco, Carbon Health is a startup that offers its care services through an “omnichannel” route. It also saw participation by existing backers Brookfield Technology Partners, DCVC, and Builders VC. The Series C funding round was led by Dragoneer Investment Group. As COVID-19 vaccination looms, Carbon Health also plans to open 100 “pop-up” clinics.Ĭarbon Health, the high technology healthcare company that provides both virtual and in-clinic care to patients, announced Tuesday its raise of $100 million. She has also purloined a book that Tarquin had, one of those dirty books gentlemen used to collect, purportedly by Aretino. Something lots of people in the story want, but she doesn’t know what it is. Since it didn’t play a part in the story, and his sexual preferences are never referred to again, I couldn’t see why this detail mattered.Ĭelia has a McGuffin. His uncle, the man who mentored him, describes himself early on as not preferring women. I think we’re told a little too much and not shown, even though part of the story takes place in a great country house. He never completely comes together for me, from the gangly boy his uncle took in hand, to the tall and distinguished leader of society. He’s dark and sleek, and the description made me think of an otter. Tarquin is a dandy and a Corinthian (although Neville avoids using that term), so he enjoys fighting and pugilism. She has spirit, but she’s not stupid, just disorganized, and as I read on, I came to understand that. And it is her story, far more than it is Tarquin’s. The first third of the book is a road romance, and since I’m usually a sucker for that kind of story, I settled in to read.īut as the story goes on, I begin to like Celia more. Then, when she recognizes Tarquin as the man who ruined her chances in society by calling her a cauliflower, and realizing he doesn’t know who he is, she gives him a new name and claims him as her fiancé. It’s not as if she doesn’t want to live anymore, and she doesn’t know the man who attacked her. And Celia, instead of being frightened, resigned, or even angry, banters with her assailant. It’s a serious illness, usually accompanied by other symptoms, but in this case, it’s the old knock on the head stuff. I’m not too keen on amnesia stories, and this one didn’t treat amnesia properly. I didn’t like the start of the book overmuch. Except that he takes Tarquin’s memory, too, by knocking him on the head. He does the same thing to Tarquin Compton, society dandy, when he encounters him. But Constantine takes all her money and possessions, leaving her with next to nothing. We first meet Celia when she’s been kidnapped by a man called Constantine. Me, I’m a sucker for those stories, if done properly. The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton is an old story about the society dandy and the parvenu outsider. I know she’s not new, but she’s new to me, and that counts, right? However, I read my first Miranda Neville this week. Well, I read the new Loretta Chase and loved it, but she didn’t count, because I’ve loved her books for years. You might recall, I spent a lot of last year looking for a new historical romance author to love.

The idea is to answer the questions with the model that is developed in subsequent pages by messing around with different construction periods and different funding or construction strategies. As with other lessons, I am in the process of making shorter introductory videos that focus on the economics and finance issues.įiles Associated Funding During ConstructionĪs with lesson set 1 of this page, I have set the exercise files up with open-ended conceptual questions in the first page of the file. Further, the models use monthly periods and demonstrate the effect of alternative construction periods. Circular issues arise with interest during construction and fees during construction. Other videos associated with this lesson set describe how to program alternative draw-down techniques in the construction phase of a project. The video and associated file demonstrates how to put together multiple projects and assess where the income from one project can be used to fund other project. It can occur in nuclear plants were a station of 4 plants in China had different dates for the start of power production. This can occur for small gas engines where in Jordan a portfolio of engines that have 20 MW of capacity were put together to generate a 500 MW plant. The video below works through the issue of funding during construction where a project can be divided into multiple parts. Borrowing Money During the Construction Period Finally, the lesson includes working capital that may be funded during construction and the alternative ways working capital can be financed. This requires alternative assumptions with respect to how the delay in construction occurs. The lesson set also deals with liquidated damages for delay in construction associated with the cost of money that occurs while a project is delayed. This has an effect if the debt to capital constraint is applicable. If profits during construction are measured as income rather than cash flow, the amount of cash equity input into the project can be dramatically reduced. In fact, if equity is contributed before debt it makes no difference at all. Capitalisation of interest makes hardly difference at all either where a debt to capital constraint is applied or whether a DSCR constraint is used. Other issues associated with borrowing money during the construction involve capitalisation of interest rather than payment of interest, the accounting treatment of cash flow and profits generated during construction, treatment of interest during construction on a shareholder loan, evaluation of the risks and costs for a construction over-run facility, liquidated damages for delay and other issues. As equity bridge loans would not be made without a parent guarantee, interesting conceptual issues arise as to whether the benefits of the bridge loan should be attributed to the project or whether the project return should be computed without the equity bridge loan. These bridge loans involve borrowing money for the equity and then paying back the loan at commercial operation. Further with a guarantee from the parent, equity bridge loans have been used. But now with some kind of direct or indirect support from either sponsors or EPC contractors, the debt can be borrowed on a pro-rata basis with equity. Pure project finance would involve putting all of the equity money in before debt is drawn. The videos and files in this lesson set address alternative methods of borrowing money that has been committed by lenders. In a classroom setting, you may learn how to read in English but still feel unsure about how to speak it well. Subtitles will also help you associate your written English with spoken English. You’ll get to hear and see new words, which can make them more memorable. One of the great things about English subtitles is their repetition. In fact, research has shown that watching English videos with English subtitles has a greater impact on language learning than watching with foreign subtitles or with no subtitles. While there are some benefits to having subtitles in a language you know well, the best way to learn English with subtitles is to put them in English. That means that everything said on the video will be shown in the subtitles. Some videos have closed captions, which include written dialogue but also have notes on things like music and background noise.īefore you start watching English videos with subtitles you have to answer the question: what kind of subtitles? You can choose to watch with English subtitles or translated subtitles that present the written dialogue in your native language. Subtitles are the written dialogue in a movie or a video.

Oh, and the vocalist is my big hairy brother, aka the apple of my eye.Entry to the event can be secured by purchasing a ticket in advance, through the online application. Fredrik replaced him, and he is truly an awesome drummer. Unfortunately he ended up doing drugs very eraly on, something for which the band has no tolerance. And no, the Reik Felag would NOT have participated in any way if there was anything right wing about the band (and I would not have attended the gigs). The band also makes no bones about the fact that they do not want to be associated with Nazis. The heavy metal fans simply do not mix with right wingers. Some poor dude went on there and tried it once, and ran head first inte ME.uh-oh, I had an awful lot of fun ripping him apart, which went so waaaay over his head that he made himself look like an idiot, and then he never came back. They like to try every so often to use the band's internet forum to recruit, only to never return again, once they've been told to f-off and then promptly been completely ignored. The band's relationship with right wing extremists is the extremists would get their heads bashed in if they tried to go to a gig. After four hours of sleep, over 2000 audience members entertained and litterally 100's of autographs signed, my baby brother got tucked in on the bus by his big sis, who then drove her husband home and crashed into bed at about 5 AM, too high on adrenaline to sleep for hours! Awesome weekend!! I made pancake breakfast for them all, then we dropped the kids with the babysitter, drove my bro down to Seattle, where he played for yet another sold out house, and I got to watch again, with my best friends who live down south. My kids, who didn't know Uncle Johan was here, woke up about as thrilled as they are on Christmas morning at "finding" him there. Not sure if I was more proud of my brother or my Vikings just then! Then I got to scoop my brother back home to my house while the rest of the band slept in the tour bus. By the time Saturday started, he'd just got off the stage here in Vancouver, where he and his band had recieved gold DVD's for the Canadian sales of their video DVD (Wrath of the Northmen) from the hands of some of my Viking recreation friends (The Reik Felag). My brother's band is on tour here in North America - luckily for me, since that gives me a chance to see him once a year or so. On to my dad's place, rousing him & extra mum (who wondered at first if I had been kicked out of my house in a marital spat), and sleeping very soundly in the big guest room.Īll in all an excellent Saturday. Swiftly home, to discover that the ground-floor lock that hasn't worked for eight years had suddenly begun to do so, and that we were locked out of the house. Here we enjoyed various musical and burlesque entertainments (including the fabulous Scotty the Blue Bunny, the delectable Paula the Swedish Housewife and the gleefully transgressive Empress Stah), stared in fascination at beautifully (and rather scantily) clad people, received not inconsiderable admiration ourselves, and shook our beauté to good music into the small hours. In the evening, I dressed in imitation of the sleeve of Kraftwerk's immortal 1978 album The Man-Machine, borrowed some lipstick and went with my stunning wife to the Hootchy Kootchy Club (of which I told you back in February, Dear Reader). The afternoon was spent in the company of our Rundkvist ladies at Swedish Grandma's making Xmas ornaments, while I cleaned out the hard drive of her old computer and napped. I bought mince pies, breakfast-inna-can and Ty.phoo tea. sunkhak) full of grizzled heavy dudes drinking daytime lager, and then went to the English Shop, a bona fide immigrant store full of British foodstuffs & books, complete with a notice board advertising English-speaking party clowns and an on-line forum for expat mothers. We had lunch at a Dovas, an excellent greasy spoon (Sw. Individually, though, Green Dad was the best player. We won! Not very surprising, given that our team was the only one with two dads. Then we entered a blacklit dry-ice-smoking dark labyrinth and spent 20 adrenaline-soaked minutes happily sniping at teams Red, Yellow and Green. Teams Red and Yellow each consisted of five ten-year-olds, and Team Green was a dad and his daughter. Here we paid SEK 60 ($11) per head and donned vests with laser sensors and attached laser guns, forming Team Blue. and went to Cybertown, a laser-game place in central Stockholm.
