Mutual Fund Cut Off Time-Your browser does not support the audio element.
In recent data by the Indian Mutual Fund Industry, at the end of August 2021, the Assets Under Management (AUM) value in the mutual funds industry in India stood at ₹36.6 crores. At the surface, this might not seem like anything big, but it reinforces the fact that people are beginning to show interest in mutual funds; they are finally beginning to see the value in it.
To have been popularized at such a mass scale (thanks to the advertisement industry) in such a short time, mutual funds still remain an elusive topic for a common man's comprehension. Understanding how they work and the foundational technicalities at play when investing in a mutual fund lies at the core of deriving true benefits from it.
Let's begin by understanding what mutual fund Net Asset Value (NAV) is, before discussing cut-off time.
What are Cut-Off Timings in Mutual Funds?
Mutual funds are a financial vehicle where people invest their money in order to generate profit. Mutual funds are also subject to the ups and downs of the market, much like shares or stocks - because mutual funds are composed of shares and stocks and all sorts of other securities. At the end of each trading day, the NAV of a mutual fund is announced; this may be lesser than the previous day's value, or greater by a significant quantum.
Now, if investors wish to invest in a mutual fund, they must do so sometime before the trading day closes and the NAV is announced. For all the purchase transactions, the cut-off time on any trading day is 3:00 p.m. If you wish to invest in a fund at the current NAV, you must submit your application to AMCs or RTAs (Asset Management Companies or Registrar and Transfer Agents) before the clock strikes 3:00 p.m.
Even if you do submit your application to AMCs or RTAs a little later, your application will get accepted anyway, but you won't be able to avail the current NAV; your investment will have been done on the NAV announced at the end of the trading day. This is why cut-off times are so significant for investors.
What is NAV in Mutual Funds?
A mutual fund isn't comprised of a single type of shares or stocks - is a pool of funds used to buy market securities of all kinds from different companies. It is difficult to measure its value in the same terms as shares or stocks. As such, a term called Net Asset Value is used to measure how high or low a value a mutual fund has.
Net Asset Value, or NAV for short, is calculated by dividing the total value of securities (and cash, if present) in a mutual fund less the liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding. This derives a number that is the per-share value of a mutual fund.
There is a marked difference in how the value of NAV fluctuates as compared to the value of stock and share prices. While the latter are subject to fluctuation almost every hour of the day, mutual funds actually update at the end of a trading day - and that becomes their NAV.
For example, if you wish to purchase mutual funds XYZ worth $50,000, and the NAV at the end of trading day was $500, then you would end up with 100 shares in XYZ mutual funds.
In fact, this is where the entire concept of cut-off time begins. Let's discuss that now.
Mutual Fund Cut-Off Time in India
The cut-off period is no longer as important under SEBI's new NAV regulations. The mutual fund firms will only distribute units starting on February 1, 2021, following the realization of money. Therefore, even if you submit your application before the deadline, it won't be processed until the funds are really realized. As a result, the NAV that will apply to your transaction will depend on when the fund house gets your cash.
The following table represents the same:
Type of Schemes
Overnight Funds/Liquid Funds
All other schemes (other than Liquid Funds / Overnight Funds)
SEBI New Rule for Mutual Fund Cut Off
In India, there used to be several cut-off times in practice for mutual funds, based on the nature of schemes:
Scheme Cut-off time
Redemption 3:00 p.m.
Overnight Funds 1:30 p.m.
Liquid Funds 1:30 p.m.
All other types of funds 3:00 p.m
However, this rule has changed now. The SEBI has announced new rules for NAV and cut-off times for mutual funds, effective from 1st February 2021. According to the new rules and regulations, the NAV of a purchased unit of mutual funds will depend on the realization of the funds. This has completely tossed the cut-off time system out the window. It basically means that the NAV applicable to your purchased mutual funds would be the NAV that is present in the bank account of the mutual fund agency that you are purchasing from before the transaction is complete.
This rule is applicable to all mutual fund schemes, barring liquid and overnight funds. The new rule also applies to Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and lump-sum investments.
According to SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2020/175 dated September 17, 2020, read with circular no. SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2020/253 dated December 31, 2020, effective from February 1, 2021, the applicable NAV in respect of purchase of units of mutual fund scheme shall be subject to realization & availability of funds in the mutual fund's bank account before the applicable cut off timings for purchase transactions, regardless of the (The preceding regulation already applies to purchase transactions in Liquid Funds and Overnight Funds.)
Under the SEBI Mutual Fund rules, all schemes must adhere to a cut-off schedule in order to report their NAVs based on the transaction type.
Why is Mutual Fund Cut Off So Important?
The SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations state that fund companies must announce the NAVs of all mutual fund schemes following the end of the markets. Simply put, they announce the NAV at the conclusion of the trading day. Because of this, investors place a lot of importance on the deadline for submissions. You must invest before the cut-off time in order to receive the end-of-day NAV for a certain business day.
The majority of mutual fund schemes have a 3 PM buy transaction deadline. Liquid fund schemes, however, are not subject to this scheduling. This indicates that if you invest up to 3:00 PM, you will receive the day's NAV.
If you submit your application after the deadline, the mutual fund firm will still accept it. But in these situations, you will receive the NAV for the following working day. The cut-off time guidelines also apply to redemptions.
All mutual funds must adhere to the cutoff period under SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations. Plans utilizing liquid fund do not fall under this. The guidelines state that future NAV is used to determine how mutual fund units are distributed. The closing market value of the securities owned in each scheme is used to calculate the NAV. Then, at the end of the day, it is declared.
NAV Based on Realization of Funds
The guidelines for allocating units of mutual funds have been updated by SEBI. The realization of funds serves as the foundation for the new NAV regulation. Beginning on February 1, 2021, it will be applied to all purchasing transactions.
Which transactions are affected by the nav based on funds realization?
● All buy transactions, regardless of the amount of investment, whether first or extra unit acquisition; lump-sum investment or Systematic Investment Plan (SIP).
● Purchase of units via inter-scheme switching of investments, including switch transactions under the Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) or trigger events, regardless of investment amount
Applicable NAV for Mutual Funds Transactions
All purchase transactions other than those for liquid and overnight funds are included in the applicable NAV for mutual fund transactions. Additionally, it covers all mutual fund scheme transactions, including Switch-In transactions. Regardless of the size of the investment, the NAV is subject to the following rules:
Transaction received before cut-off timing
Money Received by MF before cut-off timing
Applicable NAV
Purchase / SIP Installment
Same Day NAV
NAV of the next business day on which time Stamping was done before the cut-off time
NAV of the next business day on which funds was received by the Mutual fund before the cut-off time
For Inter-scheme Switch Transaction
Switch-out
Switch-in
NAV of the business day on which the funds are received, this must be in line with the redemption pay out of Switch-out scheme, in Switch-in scheme it shall be before the cut-off time
Which NAV is applicable on switching mutual funds?
By filing an application, an investor might choose to swap their investments across investment schemes. The earliest day is when it can be processed. You may comprehend that both the "Switch out" and "Switch in" schemes will have this as their business day. Applications for "switch in" are handled the same as applications for purchases. The applicable NAV for these will be determined by the acquisition deadline. Applications for "Switch out" will be considered the same as applications for redemption. Based on the deadline for redemption, the Applicable NAV for them will be determined.
The mutual fund cut-off time worked like shares and stocks - purchasing when the prices are low. With the new SEBI circular, this concept has now ended, and the NAV now completely depends on the fund's realization of the mutual funds' outfit you are investing with. Whatever the case, mutual funds are a great investment option for the long haul and a secure future.


There could be a lot of reasons that you didn't make the second round... it'd be helpful to have your pitch along with the first 250 words. Maybe the readers didn't think your pitch matched with the first 250 or something? I'm just guessing, since I haven't read the pitch.
I do think the battle scene is a good opening. It definitely got my attention. I'd be curious to see how this plays out, switching between these two worlds. That said, the Vincent opening is also interesting-- it shows more character and voice; the battle scene more action. I guess ultimately it's up to you what direction you want to take it.

In the 28-minute confession he recorded on his phone shortly before his death, Austin serial bomber Mark Conditt lamented his poor judgment in attempting to send two explosives through FedEx, a mistake he assumed had enabled investigators to identify him as the culprit.
After 20 days of churning through theories about the explosions and chasing down tips, the final 20 hours of the hunt for the bomber unfolded in a rapid stream of breakthroughs, starting with police on Tuesday morning identifying Conditt in surveillance video in and around the Sunset Valley FedEx and ending early Wednesday morning with him detonating a bomb in his car as officers surrounded him.
Conditt had already been on investigators' radar as one of several possible suspects. After plowing through stacks of retail receipts from hardware stores and big box retailers, they had learned about his purchases of nails and electronics that could be used in bombs. But they didn't know for certain that he was behind the attacks until they reviewed the FedEx surveillance video.
Led by the Austin Police Department, the team involved more than 500 officers and investigators from the FBI, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Texas Department of Public Safety and other agencies.
They employed advanced technology like cell phone tracking and forensic analysis of bomb components. The DPS, for instance, supplied the team with one of its Pilatus spy planes, which were purchased to aid the state's border security campaign and can provide high-definition live video of targets on the ground from high altitudes. But they also relied heavily on old-fashioned police work, like scouring parking lots for Conditt's red Nissan Pathfinder.
Who is Mark Anthony Conditt, the suspected Austin bomber?

The Women in Experian Employee Resource Group recently celebrated International Women's Week with a series of events, including executive panels, speakers and book club meetings. The theme of this year's event is Better Balance = Better Experian, focusing not only on bringing awareness for gender balance, but also celebrating inclusion.
The activities are part of Experian's commitment to advancing a culture that not only respects differences, but actively celebrates them. We call this The Power of YOU.
During the week, we announced that Merideth Wilson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Revenue Cycle Solutions for Experian Health, will be the lead ambassador for the Women in Experian (WiE) Employee Resource Group in North America. Throughout the year, Wilson and a global team of female leaders from across the business will plan initiatives designed to help women achieve their ambitions and build successful careers.
In a Q and A this week, Wilson shared her thoughts and provided tips for women on how to be successful in the workplace.
Q. Why is confidence so important for women to reach their career goals?
A. Confidence is key for anyone wanting to reach their career goals, but I find it's especially important for women to find their voice and be able to confidently express themselves. Women need to ask for what they want more often and be vocal about their career aspirations on a regular basis versus waiting for an annual review discussion, for example. Messages typically are delivered and received more successfully using a confident tone; authenticity in a person and one's message is also very important.
Q. What advice can you provide when it comes to accountability?
A. Women have to hold ourselves accountable, both professionally and personally, and deliver/drive the results we say we will (or sign up for). Being accountable means taking personal responsibility for the outcome and removing the roadblocks in our way to achieving our goals. I often find that "credibility" is tied to "accountability," and the importance of how we as women conduct ourselves in driving to the results cannot be overstated.
Q. What are your thoughts on communication skills and being self-aware?
A. Women need to know their audience. Effective communication often requires different styles and mediums depending on the situation and environment. One of the greatest communication skills a woman can have is the ability to confidently present in public. Public speaking is scary to many, but with practice it can be a woman's best asset.
Q. Explain how empathy and honesty can be key to career growth.
A. Integrity, honesty and trustworthiness are three key traits to help propel a person's career growth. It is nearly impossible to grow one's career without the ability to truly relate to others with understanding, appreciation and respect for another person's journey or perspective.
Q. Why is it important to be inspirational and optimistic in the workplace?
A. Good leaders inspire others to do more, be more and produce more. I find that people generally want to work with people they like, trust, admire and find upbeat. Bringing our full selves to work each day — in mind, body and spirit — helps contribute to a happy, productive and fun work environment for all, and it's something we should aspire to each day.
Wilson is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Revenue Cycle Solutions for Experian Health, a position she assumed in September 2014. In this role, she serves as the executive responsible for the Claims, Contract Manager, Patient Estimates and Medical Necessity solution suites and operations.
Wilson joined Experian in January 2004 through the Medical Present Value, Inc. (MPV) acquisition. She has held various leadership positions in operations, product management and development, outsourcing services, client delivery, and strategic marketing and planning.
Wilson earned a Master of Business Administration from Mercer University and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University.

University of Michigan team wins 2016 solar car race
University of Michigan solar car "Aurum" wins 2016 American Solar Challenge
Other than charging a battery-electric car using electricity harvested by photovoltaic panels, solar power isn't exactly practical for current production cars.
But every year, dozens of solar-powered race cars compete in events around the world held for college students.
In the U.S., a team of students from the University of Michigan beat 23 others to win one such event.
DON'T MISS: Student Solar-Car Developers: What Motivates Them?
The students' bright yellow solar car—named Aurum—won the 2016 American Solar Challenge and its qualifying race, the Formula Sun Grand Prix.
The car is powered by a 1.5-kilowatt solar array, with a 5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack onboard to store electricity when sufficient sunlight is not available.
It features a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis that helps keep weight down to 500 pounds, and is powered by a 1.8-kW (2.4-horsepower) electric motor.
The team is made up of 16 students working in four engineering divisions—mechanical, electrical, aerodynamics, and strategy—as well as operations and business divisions.
Over the past few weeks, it performed well in two different types of solar-racing events.
The Formula Sun Grand Prix is an on-track event that more or less follows the format of a traditional road race.

Solar cars lap a closed course, which for this year's event was the Pittsburgh International Race Complex—also known as Pitt Race—in Wampum, Pennsylvania.
The University of Michigan car not only won the race, but also posted the fastest lap time at 1:41.
The American Solar Challenge that followed the Formula Sun Grand Prix emphasized endurance over outright speed.
Held on public roads, it required teams to traverse 1,900 miles across seven states in eight days.
For 2016, the event was run in concert with the National Park Service to celebrate the national park system's 100th anniversary.

Racers stopped at nine national parks and historic sites, starting at Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley National Park July 30, and ending at Wind Cave National Park in North Dakota August 6.
The University of Michigan team has won the biennial American Solar Challenge eight other times since the team was started in 1990.
It also won the inaugural Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge in 2015, and has five World Solar Challenge podium finishes to its credit.
The World Solar Challenge is held every two years in Australia, and last year attracted 40 teams from 20 countries.
While it's questionable whether solar-powered cars will ever become viable for mass production, solar racing is likely to continue as long as students remain enthusiastic about building and racing these zero-emission cars.

The Nigerian Law School on Tuesday says 1,550 students were successful after the April 2018 Bar final examinations while their success rate is put at 68.6 per cent.
Among the 12 graduates is Firdausa Al-Jannah Amasa, the law graduate who challenged the restriction on the use of hijab during call-to-bar ceremonies.
It will be recalled that Amasa was in December denied entry into the hall for the ceremony which took place at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, for refusing to remove her hijab.
The recent development has attracted commendations and jubilation from Islamic organisations, among which is the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit.
In a statement by its Amir (President), Dr Saheed Ashafa, the MSSN Lagos said that allowing Amasa to be called to the bar would encourage Muslim females to be dedicated to their academics.
He said: "This is a welcome development. We hope that as time goes on, we will get something better. The use of hijab is not only constitutional but also mandatory for all Muslim females.
"The law school has shown enough maturity in this matter by calling Amasa to bar with her hijab. Not allowing her would have been a breach of her right, an injustice and would send a bad signal that the justice house is ill. It will also be counterproductive to the agenda of the Federal Government to encourage girl-child education. The victory of Amasa would encourage other females to pursue any course of their choice without fear of being victimised.
He subsequently said that Amasa deserved to be celebrated, adding that she demonstrated a heroic act by fighting for the freedom of other Muslims.
The Director-General (DG) of the school, Prof. Isa Ciroma, said the performance of the graduands was justified.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the Body of Benchers, Alhaji Bashir Dalhatu, admonished the graduands to abide by the rules and provisions of the profession, adding that it law sacrosanct and required strict adherence at all times.
"The Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee has been carrying out its mandate in a just and fair manner without giving room for compromise, affection or ill-will," he added.


Samsung normally adds a few new things to each iteration of a handset, sometimes keeping all prior features and other times letting go of things that may not have worked. In the case of the Galaxy Note 4, a couple of things that were tacked on were new S-Health features, something that we're likely to continue seeing from Samsung in at least the next couple of handsets in their flagship line as they're betting big on health these days. The health related features are nothing new as we have seen them in the past couple of devices, and Samsung introduced the heart rate sensor in the latest model of the Galaxy S, the Galaxy S5.
What the Note 4 provides though that the Galaxy S5 does not is two new health features that some people may find very useful, the ability to check your blood oxygen levels and the ability to read the amount of UV light(ultraviolet)from the sun when users are outside. If you're an active outdoorsy person than the checking the UV levels could come in handy after spending hours under the sun, as high levels of exposure to UV light are never good for the skin especially in excessive amounts. Checking your blood oxygen saturation may not be something that you need to do as often, but when you do want to check things out it'll be as easy as having the sensor read your heart rate. Samsung set it up so that you would get both readings whenever you place you finger on the sensor that is situated on the back and actively check using the S-Health app.
How useful each of these two new features becomes will vary from user to user of course, but Samsung wants to make sure that users have the option to do such things in the event that they want or need to. The Note 4 still has all the same capabilities you'll find with S-Health on the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and Note 3 too of course, however one other minor change that Samsung has made to the whole S-Health experience seems to be the packaging. The app appears to have gotten a small UI change, rather an update, to go along with the new health features and the new device. We'll also likely see this UI change come to S-Health in the other Samsung devices that are equipped with it. Will you be buying a Note 4?

1979 - Alabama 14, Penn State 7
By Jordan Burchette
BCSfootball.com
In the decades prior to the Bowl Championship Series, there was no guarantee that No. 1 would face No. 2 at season's end to determine the national champion. Rarely were fans granted the matchup they so passionately craved, and rightfully deserved.
"The Stand," as it has come to be known, defined this classic contest.
However, on January 1, 1979 the planets aligned to pit No. 2 Alabama against No. 1 Penn State in a dogfight to decide the nation's pre-eminent power. The confrontation could not have been sweeter for a Superdome crowd of 76,824 that was not only treated to the top two teams in college football, but also two of its most exalted coaches. Alabama legend Paul "Bear" Bryant was determined to finish the season just as his Crimson Tide had entered it: ranked No. 1. Penn State's legend-to-be, Joe Paterno, hoped to bring Happy Valley its first national championship.
"It was, by far, the hardest-hitting game I ever participated in. There's not even a close second," Alabama running back Major Oglivie reflected. "I don't remember a lot about that game. In the first play of the game I got knocked kinda funny."
The game was a defensive stalemate for the majority of the first half, leaving the contest scoreless until the final eight seconds of the second quarter. Alabama had the ball with just over one minute remaining in the half, and had originally planned to run out the clock. However, the Nittany Lions called two timeouts during the drive in the hopes of taking over possession with enough time to kick a field goal.
"They had been calling timeouts, and we were running standard vanilla plays," said Ogilvie. "All of a sudden, we had a big, long run that Tony Nathan broke, and the plan changed."
Nathan scampered 37 yards on two plays to take the Crimson Tide down to the Penn State 30-yard line. From there, 'Bama quarterback Jeff Rutledge hit an open Bruce Bolton for a 30-yard touchdown, sending the Tide into the half with a 7-0 lead.
In a game where scoring didn't come easy, there was, unavoidably, some controversy surrounding Bolton's reception.
"He caught it, and kinda rolled on the ground (with it)." Chuckled Ogilvie, "Seeing as how it was a touchdown for us, I didn't see any controversy in it."
Scoring didn't come much easier in the second half, but the Nittany Lions finally tied the score at seven with around four-and-a-half minutes remaining in the third quarter. Penn State's Pete Harris intercepted Rutledge on the Alabama 48-yard line setting up the scoring drive that culminated with a 17-yard Chuck Fusina pass to Scott Fitzkee in the end zone.
Shortly thereafter, Alabama answered with a 62-yard Lou Ikner punt return to the Lions' 11-yard line.
Perhaps still reeling from that first quarter bell-ringing, Ogilvie has a loose recollection of what transpired next.
"Lou had a huge punt return, and I think we scored a touchdown after his punt return."
Indeed, they did. Three plays later, it was Major Ogilvie himself, who jaunted eight yards to the goal line to put the Tide back on top 14-7.
As time erased invaluable minutes from the clock in the fourth quarter, the Lions were in need of a break. They got one. On a misdirected option play, Penn State linebacker, and future NFL standout, Matt Millen forced a fumble, which was recovered by the Lions at 'Bama's 19-yard line. JoePa's troop managed a first down at the Alabama 8-yard line, giving them four shots at the end zone. The following series would later come to define the contest.
"This game, in Alabama, is known as 'the Goal Line Stand game,'" said the former All-SEC running back.
First down brought a two-yard gain.
From the Crimson Tide's six-yard line on second-and-goal, Fusina found Fitzkee once again just before the goal line, but as he turned toward the end zone, Alabama's Don McNeal materialized, hammering Fitzkee backward and preventing the touchdown.
On third-and-goal, fullback Matt Suhey readily accepted the hand-off, and lumbered up the middle for what would have been the tying score. But 'Bama's defense enfolded the line, halting him just inches short of the stripe.
That left the Nittany Lions one final play to break the standoff. On fourth-and-inches, Joe Paterno called upon tailback Matt Guman to plod up the gut into the heart of the Crimson Tide's defense. But All-America linebacker Barry Krause emerged from the trenches to stunt Guman's progress, making a stop that has gone down as one of the biggest tackles in college football history.
ABC's legendary announcer, Keith Jackson always reminds fans about the events that took place in the final four minutes of this game.
"After Alabama made that legendary stop, the Crimson Tide had to punt the ball with a little over four minutes to go in the game," said Jackson. "Their punter shanked it out to around the 25-yard line which seemingly put Penn State right back in the catbird seat. As this was going on, Joe Paterno and a few of his assistant coaches were waving their arms frantically to get their extra man off the field before the kick. But they got caught.
"So instead, Alabama got a second chance and the punter killed it down the field. Penn State never got close to the end zone, and the national title went to Alabama."
It was the first of two consecutive national championships for the Crimson Tide.
Major Ogilvie was just happy to escape the Superdome with the win.
"It was a very hard-fought game. I think we felt very fortunate to have more points than them at the end of it."

It appears that the Carolyn Jones product liability trial naming C.R. Bard has been cancelled for a third time. Originally scheduled to start December 3, Tuesday, Court Order #380 states there will be a Pretrial Conference Thursday, January 9 at 1 pm and a trial January 10, 2014 at 8:30 am.
The last trial of Wanda Queen settled the morning it was to begin after court convened in expectation of a trial. The trial of Linda Rizzo was dismissed a month before it was set to go to trial in October. Rizzo was required to pay C.R. Bard in excess of $14,000 for its trial preparation costs.
What do we know about Carolyn Jones?
Carolyn Jones is the last in the four bellwether cases naming mesh manufacturer C.R. Bard. Her case 2:11-cv-00114 was filed December 7, 2010.
Jones is a resident of Tippah County, Mississippi. She is suing C.R. Bard of Murray Hill New Jersey and Covidien Inc. d/b/a Sofradim Production, a Delaware corporation with its principal places of business in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
On August 26, 2008, she was implanted with the Bard Avaulta Synthetic Support System, made by both C.R. Bard and Covidien during a surgery performed by Dr. David Williams at Baptist Memorial Hospital in New Albany, Mississippi. At the time she suffered from pelvic organ prolapse. During the surgery she also received a Bard Align sling to treat incontinence.
According to Court Document #151, Justin Winn, Dr. Williams' Bard representative was present almost every time the doctor implanted the product.
Jones filed a product liability claim alleging strict liability, negligence, breach of warranty, loss of consortium for her husband. She is asking for punitive damages.
In the first Bard bellwether case of Donna Cisson last July, the jury awarded her $250,000 in compensatory damages and $1.7 million in punitive damages. See background story here. The Wanda Queen case settled for an undisclosed amount.
Update* The Jones case settled in April 2014 for an undisclosed amount as trial was scheduled for May 2014. Here is the dismissal order.
First, it is reasonable to assume that Counsel for both parties do NOT want to work over the Holidays. Second, it is UNbelievable that the manufacturer sales reps are present at the implanting surgeries. Possibly even "directing" the implanting physicians as to "what" kits should be implanted. This is a frightening thought as sales reps are not experts in anatomy – nor, do they consider the consequences of implanting their "inert" polypropylene kits into a living, breathing human being. Are not the hospitals also liable in allowing these sales reps into the surgical suites without the knowledge or consent of the patient? Is there not secondary liability on the part of the hospital, as well as the manufacturer and can the hospitals be joined in the lawsuit for allowing these reps to direct the doctors?

Q: Slow triggers checking primary key constraints with postgresql I am trying to check primary key constraints along the inheritance tree in postgresql using a plpythonu trigger (check_pk). I'm using (PostgreSQL) 9.4.5.
My question is why does the insert or update take at least 50 ms, when the execution of the trigger itself takes at most 5 ms? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to improve this?
The code
(git@github.com:collorg/oopg.git)
The tables:
I'm testing with three tables parent, childb and childc (see bellow for the trigger):
create table parent(
   a text primary key
);

create trigger check_pk
    before insert or update on parent
    for each row execute procedure check_pk();

create table childb(
   b text,
   primary key(a, b)
) inherits(parent);

create trigger check_pk
    before insert or update on childb
    for each row execute procedure check_pk();

create table childc(
   c text,
   primary key(a, c)
) inherits(parent);

create trigger check_pk
    before insert or update on childc
    for each row execute procedure check_pk();

The tests:
insert into parent (a) values ('a')         -- OK
insert into childb (a, b) values ('a', 'a') -- FAILS
insert into childb (a, b) values ('b', 'a') -- OK
insert into parent (a) values ('b')         -- FAILS
insert into parent (a) values ('b')         -- FAILS
insert into childc (a, c) values ('b', 'a') -- FAILS
insert into childc (a, c) values ('c', 'a') -- OK
select * from parent                        -- a, b, c
update parent set a = 'b'                   -- FAILS
update childb set a = 'c'                   -- FAILS
update childb set a = 'd'                   -- OK

Here is an excerpt of the postgresql logs (I've set log_min_duration_statement to 10 ms in postgresql.conf):
======== get_pk_fields(59959)
check_pk_oid: SELECT a FROM public.parent WHERE a = 'c' limit 1
CLEF DUPLIQUEE
check_pk_oid duration: 0:00:00.003948

2015-12-10 08:53:16 CET LOG:  durée : 71.940 ms, instruction : update parent set a = 'c'

The update takes 71.940 ms when the execution of the check_pk trigger takes 4.5 ms.

A: I've got my answer. plpython is great for prototyping but it comes with a cost. If I use this trigger which basically does nothing, the insert time is around 30 ms... So I guess I'll have to code that in C if I want better performances.
create language plpythonu;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION slow()

The Arab spring, five years on
Charting five years since the onset of the Arab spring
by THE DATA TEAM
THERE were six Arab countries in which massive peaceful protests called for hated rulers to go in the spring of 2011. Other than Tunisia, none of the uprisings came to a happy end. Libya and Yemen have imploded, their central states replaced in whole or part by warring militias, some backed by foreign powers, some flying the flags of al-Qaeda or Islamic State. Egypt is now yet more autocratic, in some ways, than when the protests began. And Syria has descended into an abyss. Half its cities lie in ruins, much of its fertile land has been abandoned; millions have been displaced within the country, millions more have fled beyond it; hundreds of thousands have died; there is no end in sight.
The Arab revolutions produced few leaders, few credible programmes for action, and few ideas. But they did produce much-needed clarity about such things as what political Islam actually means in practice, where the Arabs stand in the world and with each other, and what the weaknesses and strengths of Arab states and societies are.
For decades Arab opinion-makers have ascribed a host of regional ills to the West. But the morass left by America's spectacularly inept occupation of Iraq, along with the West's ineffectual response to the Arab spring, have convinced all but a conspiracy-addled fringe that there is not much substance to talk of Western omnipotence, American hegemony or even a Zionist conspiracy. At the same time many Arabs have also seen, not for the first time but perhaps now more clearly than ever, how weak the links between Arab states actually are, despite decades of slogans proclaiming Arab unity. And they have seen how weak the states themselves are, and more sadly how weak many of their own societies are.

The president of Bolivia receives the EU ambassador to the country, the Spaniard León de la Torre
By	 November 18, 2019
MADRID, Nov. 17 (EUROPE PRESS) –
The self-proclaimed interim president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, received this Sunday the EU ambassador in Bolivia, the Spaniard León de la Torre Krais, at the official headquarters of Palacio Quemado.
The meeting seeks to "finalize a series of agreements" to consolidate democracy and promote an electoral process as soon as possible, according to the Bolivian news agency Fides. During the meeting, De la Torre stressed that the auditing of the Organization of American States that led to Evo Morales leaving power "is very clear."
"It has been a meeting to exchange views on what is happening in the country, offer the cooperation of the European Union for a successful electoral process in Bolivia," explained the diplomat after the meeting with Áñez.
León de la Torre has specifically mentioned the progress of the dialogue table convened by the Bolivian Episcopal Conference (CEB), supported since its inception by the EU.
"I think the OAS report is very clear. We await Boliva's proposals to see how we can help," said the diplomat, according to the Bolivian newspaper 'Página Siete'.
On Saturday Áñez already received Jean Arnault, envoy of the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, who has two objectives: to contribute with mechanisms to pacify the country and help the call for general elections.
Arnault has announced that his intention is to contact the political actors and mediators to open a dialogue. "The important thing is to find a peaceful solution to this crisis; that is, the need to put the protection of life above political calculations, the need to hasten the political exit," he said.
Morales resigned on Sunday and arrived in Mexico on Tuesday as a political asylum. Áñez has proclaimed himself interim president to avoid the power vacuum left by the resignation of the indigenous leader and other senior officials, ensuring that his goal is to hold new elections.
The resignation of Morales joined those of other senior officials, including calls to replace him according to the line of succession drawn by the Constitution, so Jeanine Áñez, as second vice president of the Senate, took over the country.
Áñez has promised that only the time necessary to hold new presidential elections will remain in power, although he has clarified that Morales will not be able to compete in them, thus asserting the result of the 2017 referendum, which was reversed by the Constitutional Court .

The hotel's rooftop terrace offers a place to share a meal, admire the view or soak up the sun on one of the sun loungers. The rooms are kitted out with en suite bathroom, TV, desk and dressing room. An ancient city perched on the rocky shores of the Atlantic, Essaouira offers water sports enthusiasts a small bay, partially protected by the island of Mogador, making it a peaceful harbour with warm waters and calm waves, sheltered from strong marine winds. With a long history rich in culture and tradition, Essaouira is a great region for walking and exploring. Travellers may take a closer look at the town's historic legacy by paying a visit to the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum, which conceals a glimmering horde of jewels, costumes, carpets, and instruments within a traditional Moroccan riad. Further on, tourists may head to the Old Medina, a well-preserved fortress walled by several gates that still endure the passing of time. Here, within the stone ramparts and turrets, time seems to have ceased to flow, as the town still keeps its original aspects after hundreds of years. Other intriguing sites can be found at the rustic woodcarving workshops of Skala de la Ville, where romantic sunset can be admired while listening to the cries of seagulls. Essaouira has an arid climate with hot summers, warm to cool winters and hot springs and autumns. In the spring and autumn temperature can reach 28°C, while rain may also appear occasionally during these seasons. Summers are characterised by excessive heat, blue sky and lack of rain, with temperature reaching 37°C in July, while the winter nights are cold and daily temperature reaches about 20°C.

Food, Mind & Body | By Peppermint | 11/10/2016
Kemi Nekvapil's initial reaction on hearing about the raw food movement in the early 2000s was less than positive.
"It made me think of weak, sad people walking around eating limp carrot sticks," the Melbourne-based wellness advocate admits. Yet after swapping a few meals for raw salads, she quickly discovered the opposite was true, and started forging a career in raw cuisine that has made her a leader in the field of wellbeing. Since first appearing on the pages of Peppermint back in 2013, Kemi has relaxed her food philosophy and shifted her focus to spreading her message through coaching – helping women to nourish themselves completely and realise their full potential, both in work and life.
"My level of wellbeing and energy was more than anything I'd ever experienced as an adult, and I wanted to share that with others," Kemi says, reflecting on Raw Kitchen, the raw food resource and workshop business she started in 2010. One of the reasons for its success – apart from her obvious charisma – was her focus on encouraging positive habits rather than urging people to eliminate 'bad' foods.
"I was never about cutting out cake, coffee and chocolate; I was always about getting people to just 'add more raw' and notice the difference. I especially wanted to share this with other women, because women don't always experience food as a joyful experience," she says, referring to the pressure many women feel to conform to physical stereotypes and, more recently, to the restrictions people place on themselves when they adopt particular eating regimes.
Women are told that as we get older it all goes downhill, but on my 38th birthday I felt more beautiful, centred and grounded than I'd ever felt
The 42-year-old describes herself as a "Kemi-tarian" and a "proponent of food journeys", meaning that her eating habits evolve in line with her lifestyle and needs at any particular time rather than fitting neatly into a diet category. "I eat lots of fresh fruit and veg – we have 30 fruit trees in our garden – lots of greens and I think I got the first tub of Ben and Jerry's vegan ice-cream to have landed in Australia recently! I'm not drinking alcohol at the moment because I'm training for a 100-kilometre race, but I might not drink it after the race either. I eat sugar but not fish. In winter I want soup and warm foods, not salad. When I eat out, I love Asian food; I think it's my African heritage because I love rice. I trained as a baker, so I love baked goods and when I eat them I enjoy every bite, but it's not something I do every day."
Kemi's creed of doing what feels right for her extends beyond meal times – it's her attitude towards life as a whole and explains why her career has taken its various turns. Born in England, she trained as a baker, then went through drama school and spent several years as a successful actor. But despite her acting accolades, the call of the kitchen was stronger, and she returned to the food industry – working as a chef in Thailand, where she met her Australian husband. Stints as a chef in London's first organic restaurant and as a yoga instructor preceded her move to Australia in 2003 and her subsequent forays into raw eating, growing her own food and creating a nourishing life – for herself and others.
"Women are told that as we get older it all goes downhill, but on my 38th birthday I felt more beautiful, centred and grounded than I'd ever felt," Kemi says, explaining that it was this feeling that spurred her to develop her current business, Raw Beauty Queen, in 2013, which provides coaching programs and retreats teaching women how to transform their lives.
"Women in the western world have so many opportunities, and I get so upset and angry that the average woman spends 33 years on a diet when that will and effort could go to something so much more important. Women need to create a form of beauty that we own and we nourish. The one that's sold and told to us makes us feel ugly, and that ugliness makes a lot of money. [When coaching women] you start with food and it quickly goes to all other areas of their lives."
