“Ilham Aliyev‘s support for Russia’s imperial policy at a time when even Russia’s closest allies are distancing themselves from it is illogical and can only be explained by a desire to strengthen solidarity among authoritarian regimes and slow down the global democratic changes that await the region.”
(Lack of) Human Rights and Liberties
Member of Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (APFP) Salyan branch Zaur Ahmadov was detained by two civilian police officers. Azadliq newspaper reports that Ahmadov was taken to an unknown destination, and only hours later, his family was informed that he was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment. According to Ahmadov’s family, Salyan Police Department rejected their request for a meeting. Ahmadov is one of the many members of the Party who were arrested on trumped-up charges, according to human rights lawyers. One of the members of the Party, Alizamin Salayev, who has been on hunger strike for more than 110 days, was sentenced to four imprisonments despite the calls from human rights organizations for his immediate release.
Governance and Corruption
Sunday marked the 105th anniversary of the first democratic Republic in Azerbaijan. Despite its historical importance as the first democratic government in the Muslim world, the Azerbaijani authorities demonstrate considerably less interest in commemorating the ideals and founding fathers of the first Republic that lasted for two years between 1918-1920. While the government changed the name of the public holiday from “Republic Day” to “Independence Day” a few years ago, the state-controlled media every year devotes airtime to the glorification of the former president, Heydar Aliyev who ruled the counter from 1993 till 2003, when his son came to power after his death. Chairperson of the APFP Ali Karimli said that despite the government’s attempts to eradicate the memories of the Republic, it would not be possible to remove it from public memory. “Neither the 70-year propaganda of the Bolsheviks nor the jealousy and slander of the family rule could remove the founder of Azerbaijan’s independence from the memories of our people. We commemorate our national leader Muhammad Amin Rasulzade and our founding fathers with respect and gratitude, who did the greatest service in declaring the independence of Azerbaijan, establishing the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, keeping the national government standing for almost two years, and keeping the ideology of national independence alive even after the occupation of Azerbaijan. Long live Republican ideas, freedom, and justice! Happy Republic Day!”
Chairperson of the National Council of Democratic Forces historian Jamil Hasanli said that it is “a historical irony” that after a hundred years of the establishment of the Democratic Republic in Azerbaijan, family rule prevailed. “Today is their day, not only the Republic’s birthday but also the day of the founding fathers. What an honorable people they were. Today is not only Independence Day but also Republic Day. Not every independence means Republic. Our founding fathers built the building of independence on the foundations of the Republic. It is such a great irony of history that the monarchy “celebrates” the Republic: on Independence Day and Republic Day, not the fathers of the nation who sacrificed their lives and property for the Republic, but a KGB general, communist first secretary, and Politburo member, Heydar Aliyev who fought mercilessly against that Republic, its founders, and values for nearly half a century, is on the corner of the nation’s TV channels. Such a “symbiosis” of history could hardly be found anywhere.”
Member of the NCDF Tofig Yagublu said that the police intervened in the gathering of the opposition leaders in front of the Resulzade’s monument to commemorate the anniversary of the Republic. Yagublu: “Alizamin Salayev, who fights against the regime that turned the Republic into a monarchy, is spending the 111th day of his hunger strike in prison. Freedom to Alizamin Salayev. The authorities do not allow flying the flag of the European Union in Azerbaijan, which is a member of the Council of Europe. There was police intervention at Rasulzade‘s commemoration event. Today, as the National Council, we held a holiday event dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the Republic in front of the monument of Muhammad Amin Rasulzade in Novkhani. Ilham Aliyev, who once sent the ISIS flags to our rally at the Mehsul stadium, this time ordered his police to take down the flag of the European Union, which we raised at the rally. With this act, he showed that he shares the same mindset as ISIS. What else could explain the hate for the EU flag?”
On Sunday, Turkey held the runoff elections, which were widely discussed by the Azerbaijani public. Meydan Tv reports that the mayor of Bolu, Turkey, Tanju Özcan appealed to Ilham Aliyev, asking him not to interfere in the elections in Turkey. According to Özcan, many Azerbaijani pro-governmental politicians are involved in the propaganda in favor of Erdogan and his Party AKP.
Chairperson of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party (ADWP) Gubad Ibadoghlu said that the elections in Turkey should inspire the Azerbaijani voters to be more active in the upcoming elections. “As for the people of Azerbaijan, who have become fans of the elections in Turkey, we must force the authorities to hold free elections in Azerbaijan, at least at the level of Turkey. This should be an important problem to be solved by everyone who wants to see the future of the country bright. In this regard, the greatest responsibility falls on the political opposition and civil society. We should turn the citizens of Azerbaijan not into a group that watches the elections in other countries, but into a nation that demands the elections in its own country.”
Member of the APFP Fuad Gahramanli argued that the future of democracy in Azerbaijan is much more dependent on Russia’s defeat than a governmental change in Turkey. “The main geopolitical factor affecting democratic changes in Azerbaijan is connected to Putin‘s Russia, not to Turkey. Therefore, Russia’s defeat in Ukraine will open new opportunities for us. However, in all cases, as a nation, we should bear the responsibility of fighting for our rights because in no case an external factor leads to changes in exchange for the silence of the people.”
During his speech at the meeting of the Supreme Economic Council of the Eurasian Economic Union, which was held in Moscow, President Ilham Aliyev stated that Azerbaijan never had a territorial claim against any country and it desires only to achieve the opening of transport communication with the neighboring country. President’s statement was considered as the denial of his government’s previous claims about the Zangazur corridor and Armenian territorial integrity. In Azerbaijan, the opposition believes that the Eurasian Economic Union is Putin‘s project for restoring the USSR.
Journalist Seymur Hezi said that Aliyev‘ ’s attendance at the meeting puts the national interests in danger. “We cannot have any future with Putin, with Putin’s Russia, or with imperialist Moscow. All these initiatives are harmful as well as inappropriate.”
Chairperson of the APFP Ali Karimli also said that Aliyev‘s participation in the summit of the Eurasian Economic Union together with the leaders of Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan is “an act against the national interests”. Karimli: “I remind you that the Eurasian Union was created on the initiative of Russia as an alternative to the European Union. The presidents of Cuba and Tajikistan also participated in today’s summit of the Union in an online format. Look at the countries that Ilham Aliyev wants our country to integrate with. Russia’s participation in this imperial institution excludes integration with the European Union. The Eurasian Union, together with the CSTO, was conceived as the foundation of Putin‘s new imperial project, “USSR-2”. Ilham Aliyev‘s support for Russia’s imperial policy at a time when even Russia’s closest allies are beginning to distance themselves from it is illogical and can only be explained by a desire to strengthen solidarity among authoritarian regimes and slow down the global democratic changes that await the region. Even at a time when Russia is weakened and isolated, if Ilham Aliyev does not say no to this country’s imperial projects, imagine what would await us if Russia wins in Ukraine. The one-man rule in Azerbaijan not only takes away our rights and freedoms, not only robs our national wealth but also creates a grave threat to our state independence.”

Hi guys. As you can see on the pictures I'm using Tamiya decal adhesive and Tamiya mark fit. But I'm not satisfied with the result. The decals don't really go into the panel lines. Should I switch to another decal softener or did I something wrong?
I applied a layer of clear varnish. Then I cleaned the surface with water. I applied the decal after putting the decal adhesive fluid on the surface. Then I waited some minutes and put a layer of mark fit on the decal. But as I said, I'm not satisfied with the result. Can someone help?
Thanks guys.

Hello Redditors! I study and work part-time so for me every penny counts. I’m not into overpaying for what can be purchased cheaper, so I’m currently looking for a site with good price/quality ratio. I have already analysed several most popular writing services and created a small table for this, which I hope I’ll be updating when I have time. For this, I took into account prices, their guarsntees and my overall impressions. To be fair, I based my analysis on pretty average details: Essay, 1 page, Undergraduate level, and 5-day deadline.
SO... PRICE COMPARISON
https://preview.redd.it/uwbf6zc06z2b1.png?width=2301&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2b656f4ea52b076b7096c1ca508271f1b0c2775
NOW... LET’S DIVE TAD DEEPER

Site	Price per page	My impression
Academlead.co.uk	£16.95	This on’s most accessible among all UK services. In addition to the price, I also looked at reviews on other independent platforms and ratings on Sitejabber and Trustpilot. AcademLead’s average is 4.7 to 4.9, which is cracking cool for a writing service that has been on the market for more than 9 years. Among the main guarantees: delivery on time, as per instructions, and without plagiarism. This is deffo my top!
Royalwriter.co.uk	£19.42	Pretty affordable prices. You can regularly see new reviews on the website (the last one was dated May 21), which indicates it’s real and legit. In general, they have very positive reviews. You can check them for yourself on royalwriter.co.uk. The main guarantees include qualified writers, credible academic sources and no plagiarism. Imao, it's worth a try.
Brillassignment.co.uk	£19.78	Here prices are also cracking good. The only thing is that their site is a little outdated and I got the impression that it’s not updated much. It’s quite surprising that it’s found among the list of popular services. I didn’t find reviews on the site either (yeap, there are several of them, but it’s not clear when they were left and whether they are genuine at all). And the last thing that made me scream WHaAAT!!!? is the increased price if you need a UK writer (not a US one). That is, you position yourself as a UK service, but if your clients need a UK writer, you charge more. No comments, just LOL 😂
Oxessays.com	£21.55	Prices on this site are a tad higher than the previous options. The process of creating an order is quite easy, but I was confused by the lack of actual reviews about them (both on the site and on independent platforms). On Sitejabber I found only 5 reviews and on Trustpilot 2. I do remember this service was already discussed in some subreddits, but it seems it’s not very is in demand. They also offer a discount on the 1st order, but you can only use it if your order totals more than £30.00, which is not very fair. All things considered, I cannot say the service looks trustworthy.
Bestessays.com	€ 31.79	To be precise, the price per page varies from €17.65 to €28.00. The reason for this is that you have to choose what quality you want to get in the end (2:2 standard, 2:1 standard or first standard). That is, if you want an excellent mark, you will have to pay much more. Honestly, this is the first time I see such an option, because in general, all services are aimed at a good result and charge in the same way, even if you ask them to write in plain English. Such an approach to clients makes me feel gutted… As for their guarantees, they include “Individual approach, Full involvement, 100% Custom Written”. However, their rating on independent platforms ranges from 3.7 to 4.5, which is quite mediocre, so I’m not sure whether they really fulfill their promises
Assignmentmasters.co.uk	€ 33.09	The site is tad outdated, but sometimes that's not an indicator of quality, so I tried to find more information on it. When I looked through the reviews on other platforms, I was unpleasantly impressed. Their ratings are very low (currently only 2.4⭐). Go to https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.assignmentmasters.co.uk and you’ll see it for yourself. The most frequent complaints include late delivery, inconsistency of price and quality, and refusal to make a refund if you get bad feedback from the prof. Ehhmm, well that’s so sad :(
Ivoryresearch.co.uk	£90.00	Nice design and a simple ordering system. However, £90.00 for 1 page essay is a whole lot, even if they show a good result. Just imagine how much you will pay if you need help with coursework or an assignment of several pages... If the deadline is less than 5 days, then the cost increases accordingly. idk whom you have to be to afford ordering a work like a research paper, not to mention a dissertation from them, frankly.
Ukessays.com	£200.00	Is this some kind of joke? I double-checked whether I entered everything correctly three times. If you can afford to pay £200 for 1 page (250 words) then lucky you are 😄 I’m gobsmacked and don't even want to comment here…

Considering what I discovered, I recommend you always compare available options before settling down for writing service or at least checking the comparisons and reviews of others. Overpaying doesn’t always guarantee you’ll get a good paper
If you have tried any of those services, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences 🙏

INTRODUCTION

What makes private company valuations special is the ambiguity and room for independent evaluation that exists when compared to a publicly traded business. You’re operating with less current and historical data, lower transparency on future business performance, and the capital structure of the company may not be completely accessible. There’s also the question of accounting: private companies are not bound by traditional Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) regulations and enjoy a lack of strict reporting requirements.
Typically, firms that have been taken over have a control premium attached (i.e. the acquiring entity pays over the odds to have a controlling stake in the company’s daily operations). Comparing a potential target to recent transactions can help account for any disparities due to the control premium and evaluate the target firm’s value from a better position.

PRIVATE EQUITY VALUATION METHODS

Most PE/VC firms estimate a company’s value with the help of Equity Valuation Methods. To evaluate an organization, there should be enough understanding of Venture Valuation, which is considered as the most holistic evaluation approach.
All valuations are related to the careful consideration of both hard facts and soft aspects. And they are applied thorough risk assessment of the aspects such as:

• Management
• Market
• Science and technology
• Financials/funding phase

To determine the private company valuations as accurately and objectively one use various assessment methods, which are mainly suited for the evaluation of technology firms, with more growth potential and start-ups of all kinds.
Although not every kind of valuation method is appropriate, they vary as they assess every organization according to their industry and financing phase. The top Equity Valuation Methods are as follows:
Equity Valuation Methods

• Discounted Cash Flow Method To value a private business in the discounted cash flow method, a VC/ PE Firms must be serious about the acquisition, the target will likely disclose their books, but they still require to be audited to ensure accuracy. This is less commonly used as the primary barometer for private valuations due to the uncertainty of private companies’ financial statements. Private companies’ accounting statements may also include personal expenses along with business expenses in the case of smaller family-owned businesses and have unexplained gaps across the board. However, if the acquiring firm is able to determine accurate numbers for revenue and operating costs, taxes, and working capital historically, they an model these numbers out to a 5–10-year timeframe (depending on the length of the project) and then determine Free Cash Flow. Since the Free Cash Flow is representative of how much money the business has available to give back to shareholders, it is considered an accurate measure of a company’s fair value. The discount rate problem mentioned above also factors into calculating the company’s beta, which is the level of volatility associated with investing in the firm as opposed to the global equities market (typically, benchmark indices such as the S&P 500 are used for comparison).
• Comparable Company Analysis The goal of using comparable company analysis method is to search for other public businesses that share characteristics with the private firm. These characteristics include industry, margins, revenue/size, geographies in operation, and age. For an established business, this process is much easier. For example, SaaS businesses will have dozens of similar companies because the market has become extremely saturated in the last decade. Most SaaS businesses founded during the last decade are still-loss making, have high revenue growth, and have a high dollar-based net retention rate that compensates investors for the poor bottom line. In this scenario, for a PE/VC firm considering a buyout, the value lies in evaluating a discount in the company relative to other publicly traded businesses. To measure the discount, investors often calculate industry averages of different valuation multiples. Continuing with the SaaS example, these metrics can be traditional ones such as EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue, and Free Cash Flow/Share or industry-specific metrics such as churn rate, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, and annual recurring revenue.
• Comparable Transaction Comp If a private company is trading at lower multiples to other public competitors while anticipating higher or equal revenue growth, it becomes an interesting investment this when comparable transaction comp comes into existence. If their market timing and execution strategies are right, a PE/VC firm can come in, buy this company out and make a profit through an IPO once the project’s timeline is complete. If the target firm operates in an industry with lots of recent notable transactions or IPOs, we can use information from those transactions to calculate a valuation. What separates the world’s best private envestor and helps them deliver high value to LPs consistently is that they factor in everything when valuing a company: any potential one-time events affecting valuation, quality of management, and alignment of the acquireacquiree’s goals, and finally whether the private company will be able to deliver a high return on invested capital. In volatile equities markets like today, LPs and Venture Capitalists may want to seek liquidity in their fund interests, so they need a higher rate of return to justify the investment. This is perhaps a reason why the volume of PE/VC funding has decreased in the last year; markets are uncertain about future prospects and are only seeking investments with either high conviction or minimal downside (ideally both).
• Asset-based Valuation Method The asset-based valuation method is used for considering the value of the assets and liabilities of a business. Under this method, the value of a business is equal to the difference between the value of all its relevant assets and the value of all its relevant liabilities. The advantage PE/VC firms hold over investing in public markets is in the timing. There is potential to make massive gains if these firms can time their entry into the private markets during a period of uncertainty and low valuations and exit into the public markets once bullish market sentiment has returned. Typically, industry averages can be used for calculations with a slight premium attached to account for higher cost of equity and debt (since investors have lack of liquidity with holding equity in a private firm, it is an intrinsically riskier investment).
• Sum of the Parts Valuation Method A conglomerate that has diversified business interests may need a different valuation model. In this method the valuation of each business is done separately and gets added up for the equity valuations. This valuation method is called a sum of parts valuation method. To evaluate beta, PE/VC firms either use industry averages and then unlevered or lever that number depending on what kind of beta was used and adjust that number accordingly based on the target’s credit history. It's often said that valuation is an art and not a science – and this is especially true for investing in the private markets. Our calculations are based purely on a series of assumptions and estimates and trusting the accounting processes of the target company.
• Risk adjusted NPV Risk adjusted NPV is a most common valuation method of valuing compounds or products in the industries like pharmaceutical and biotech. The risk adjusted net present value (NPV) private equity valuation method utilizes the similar principle as the DCF equity valuation method, except that each future cash flow is adjusted by risk to the probability of it actually occurring. The probability of the cash flow occurrence is also called as the ‘success rate’. The success rates of a certain compound/drug can be estimated, by comparing the probability that the compound/drug will pass the several different development phases (i.e. phases I, II or III) usually undertaken in the drug development process.

QUALITATIVE ISSUES WHILE CONDUCTING EQUITY VALUATION

Equity valuation focuses on the estimation of the likelihood of an organization being a successful firm in the coming future. Though it is many times very difficult to build-up any model that can predict the success of any organization. For instance, the next-gen enterprises like Google and Facebook share almost none of the aspects that were present in behemoths enterprises such as Exxon, Wal-Mart or even Apple for that matter.
There are a few questions that need to be addressed before a valuation exercise is done. These issues are not quantitative and won’t be available to seek direct application in the valuation report. These issues are mainly qualitative and indirectly influence the valuation.
The most important qualitative issues are as follows:

• Industry Analysis Industry analysis is very important; the new age organizations are always in the competition with one another to get a share of the same market. If an organization’s competitors become more powerful and efficient then it tends to lose out. In the current modern market, no innovation does not mean stagnation rather it is the end of the enterprise as more effective challengers will sooner or later keep you out of business. Hence, equity analysts try to strive deeper through industry journals and have an interest on the company that is conducting thorough research. They also take help from the Porter’s five forces model to gauge whether or not, the industry as a whole is losing its effectiveness to another industry.
• Strategy One more qualitative issue to be addressed is the organization’s strategic vision. Mainly the companies usually follow one of the three strategies. They will either try to be:

1. Cost leaders i.e. organization that offers the product or service at the lowest price to the consumers. An example that can be considered as - Wal-Mart
2. Innovators i.e. providers of high and top quality products and constantly build new and better products. An example that can be considered as - Apple
3. Niche service providers i.e. providers of products and services for a very specific group of customers, whose requirements are well understood by them i.e. Harley Davidson motorcycles
4. Each of these strategies needs a very different approach. For example, cost leadership needs superiority in the supply chain, innovation needs focus on research and development and niche services needs focus on customer relationship management. Equity Analysts must be aware of the strategy of an organization, their investments towards developing the capabilities needed to service this strategy and also the advancements that the competitors are making in this regard.

CONCLUSION

The long timeline of private equity funds and VC investment means there is a lot of flexibility around waiting for the right market opportunity while improving operational quality that is not available in the public markets.
Public companies are affected by general market momentum and volatility due to earnings releases and Federal Reserve Policy that can skew stock prices away from “reasonable valuations” and muddle investor sentiment. These risks don’t exist in the private markets, providing an opportunity to deliver a higher return to investors in the long run without traditional volatility concerns.

Nowadays, new technologies such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are accelerating the digitalization of various industries, and based on these new technologies, expressways are also entering the stage of intelligent operation and service. Highway network, sense communication control network, green energy and other intelligent expressway infrastructure construction is directly related to whether business management, emergency response and toll management can be visual, mobile, intelligent and accurate.
As a key element, "data" is the blood cell that supplies oxygen to the "brain" of the intelligent expressway, and runs through the digitalization and intelligent transformation, so the management ability of "data" or information becomes the key ability of intelligent expressway.
Database is the circulatory system that supports the effective flow of "data" . Database and data management platform as the carrier of data, are not only the connector and bridge of the expressway, transmission network layer and basic information layer, but also the decisive factors of expressway digital capability.
The key features of the future data management platform must be distributed + scenario + independent. The comprehensive promotion and application of domestic database is not only the need for reducing cost and increasing efficiency and enhancing supply chain security, but also the need for future business development.

Advantages of AntDB
AntDB is one of the earliest independently developed database in China, which came into being at the beginning of the 21st century in response to the actual needs of the billing system of telecom carriers. It has been 15 years since 2008 when it was applied to the core system of telecom carriers. With the upgrade of communication technology from 2G to 5G, it has completed 7 iterations from memory database to a new generation of distributed relational database, serving more than 1 billion people and processing millions of telecom core transactions per second, forming four features:
Amount - A huge number of subscribers. AntDB serves more than 1 billion mobile phone owners.
History - A history of solid implementation. AntDB has gone through 15 years of trials and tribulations since its implementation in in 2008.
Speed - Fast execution performance. AntDB stable can handle millions of core telecom transactions per second at its peak.
Stability - Stable and reliable products. AntDB has been running smoothly and safely in the core system of telecom operators for more than ten years.
In the face of the current demand of enterprises and individuals for "fast" and real-time response, AntDB also has its own special advantages:
Hyper-convergence - in the overall architecture, a new concept of "hyper-convergence" is proposed to integrate multiple engines and capabilities to meet the increasingly complex mixed load scenarios and business needs of mixed data type for enterprises.
Streaming real-time data warehouse - through the cloud-native "streaming processing engine", streaming computing and database are integrated at the kernel level, so that the database becomes a "real time" database where data is processed upon entry. It can meet the demands of real-time processing scenarios such as real-time business analysis, real-time reporting and asynchronous transaction scenarios such as Internet+. Real-time data pushing and zero-code streaming processing and development are the advantages of AntDB streaming real-time data warehouse.
