Why Canadian pensions aren't ditching hedge funds

Hedge funds continue to take a beating these days for allegedly being too costly, too complex and not worth the trouble for the kinds of returns they provide.
Some big and influential public pension funds, in particular, have soured on the use of external hedge funds to manage part of their assets.
But Canada's biggest pension funds still don't appear to be in any hurry to join the trend.
The pension fund for the Netherlands' health and social sector – Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn (PFZW) – is the latest to announce it is ending its relationship with hedge funds.
It said on Friday it had "all but eradicated" the use of such funds by the end of 2014 and doesn't plan on dipping its toe in that pool any time soon.
"With hedge funds, you're certain of the high costs, but uncertain about the return," PFZW's manager of financial and investment policy, Jan Willem van Oostveen said.
That follows last September's decision by the $300-billion (U.S.) California Public Employees' Retirement System to re-allocate its $4-billion hedge-fund investments.
Here in Canada, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan says it continues to make use of external hedge funds, but with a lot of oversight.
"While we use external managers, we actively manage our holdings with them, as we do with all funds in which we are invested," Teachers spokeswoman Deborah Allan said in an email message.
"We employ hedge funds to earn uncorrelated returns, access unique strategies that augment our returns and to diversify our risk."
At the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, the current strategy is to continue using external hedge fund managers for some of its assets.
The Caisse has only about 1.3 per cent of its assets in hedge funds so "it's very small," said CEO Michael Sabia in an interview.
"We use it less as a return-seeking vehicle because at that size, it doesn't really move the dial for us. But it does give us access to new thinking, innovative ideas, etc. So we use it as a window."
The Caisse had $3.7-billion of a $215-billion asset portfolio parked in hedge funds at the end of its last fiscal year.
About two years ago, Mr. Sabia said, a team at the Caisse "culled" the hedge-fund portfolio "pretty dramatically.
"We got it down to a group of funds that we are comfortable with in terms of how they operate, their level of transparency to us, etc."
Over at the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, spokeswoman Linda Sims said in an email that "we do invest in hedge funds through our External Portfolio Management (EPM) program."
The program had $23.2-billion (Canadian) in notional assets with 55 managers, out of total assets under management of $219-billion, "but I cannot specify how much of that went into hedge fund investments – we do not break out that number," she said.
Teachers' had $6.2-billion in alternative investments, mainly hedge funds and managed future accounts, at the end of 2013.
Part of the logic for their continued use is that hedge funds help diversify funds' investment mixes and also provide expertise for sectors or regions of the world they are not familiar with.
But Montreal-based independent pension and investment analyst/blogger Leo Kolivakis believes the pension funds should stay away.
Most "hedge funds stink and most institutions shouldn't be investing in them because they're ill-equipped to understand the risks and forward prospects of hedge funds' performance," he said in a recent post.
Meanwhile, the folks at Toronto-based PWL Capital are telling active fund managers to hang in there.
"It cannot be easy watching institutions and retail investors aggressively shift their assets from active to passive funds…" PWL investment advisor Benjamin Felix wrote in a recent open letter posted on the firm's website.
"Try not to worry too much about Warren Buffett and CalPERS advocating for index funds. Just because they are two of the most well respected and influential figures in the investment world does not mean that they are always right."

But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief,
that you may take it into your hands;
the helpless commit themselves to you;
you have been the helper of the orphan. But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief,
you have been the helper of the orphan.
Review of: News of the World (2020)
While returning an orphaned girl raised by Native Americans to her family a Civil War veteran runs into problems in racist Texas.
Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd takes charge of orphaned Johanna. (c) Universal
Like Unforgiven, Paul Greengrass' News of the World is an unconventional Western. Oh, there is are sections of violent gun play, but these are secondary to other themes, such as human relationships, the need for belonging, and the importance of "news" for connection to a world larger than our own narrow existence. Adapted by director and Luke Davies from the 2016 novel by Paulette Jiles, the film provides Tom Hanks with a great opportunity to display his acting ability, an opportunity of which he takes full advantage! It also introduces many of us to a delightful young German actress Helena Zengel.
Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Hanks) was a Confederate soldier from Texas. After his wife died he took up a nomadic life, earning a living by entering a small town and holding meetings at which he reads for the illiterate townspeople stories from various newspapers. The people are starved for both news and entertainment, of which Kidd provides both, embellishing some of the stories with details that add an emotional touch to the story. News of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitutions are met with hoots and other expressions of disapproval. Out in the streets we also see their displeasure over the presence of Federal troops, stationed there to keep their prejudice in check.
Some of the scenes of Kidd's public readings might remind viewers of the opening scene of The Man Who Invented Christmas in which Charles Dickens reads from his works to an enraptured New York City audience. It is 1870, just five years since the Confederates were defeated, but their prejudices remain embedded in their hearts and souls, as Kidd discovers early on. Not only is there hatred for the freed slaves but fighting continues between the white newcomers and the Native Americans over the land. One of Kidd's news stories reports that a railroad is being built to Texas that will pass through Indian territory. No doubt this act is as distasteful to Native Americans as it is favorable to Kidd's audience. There is also news of a plague—is this, along with the division over race, and the emphasis on the importance of news, an attempt at relevance?
Coming across an overturned wagon, its horses long gone, Kidd follows a trail of blood and sees the body of a lynched Black trooper hanging from a tree. A note declares, "Texas Says No! This is White Man's Country." He hears movement in the bush and chases down a young blond girl clad in buckskins. A document that he finds in the wagon reveals that the girl was being forcibly taken by the trooper to live with her aunt and uncle on their farm near San Antonio. Kidd thinks that her name is Johanna. The girl herself seems to know no English, speaking instead in Kiowa. A squad of Union soldiers stop to inquire what has happened but decline to take the girl in custody. The officer in charge says he should take the girl to the Indian Agency at Red River. In town the boarding house proprietor Mrs. Gannett (Elizabeth Marvel) understands a little Kiowa. She learns the basic facts of the girl's story, telling Kidd that the girl is an orphan taken by a raiding party six years earlier when they killed her German immigrant parents.
An attempt of three sinister men to buy the girl from Kidd leads to the most violent episode of the film when the three follow the trail of the wagon and attempt to seize their prize–though a later one in which Johanna saves Kidd's life is also violent. The sights along the way back to San Antonio are revelatory of the harsh times. There is a camp where dozens of buffalo carcasses have been stripped of their hides and hundreds of men are busy tanning and cleaning them. A small town is controlled by a cruel boss named Merritt Farley (Thomas Francis Murphy) who demands that Kidd read aloud the newspaper he has had printed as a puff piece, rather than news from a legitimate paper. Kidd masterfully handles this by getting the crowd on his side and thus supportive of what he wants to read. This leads to a deadly showdown, one which will also liberate one of the boss's supporters.
At the heart of this period drama is the growing relationship between the almost burnt out man and orphaned girl. Both have been deprived of family, and thus are deeply wounded. As with so many of his characters, Tom Hank's Kidd is a decent, compassionate man, setting him apart from most other Confederates with whom he had fought along. We see this early on when he buries the lynched Black soldier, rather than riding away from the tree with its "strange fruit." He could have left his charge back in Wichita Falls when it became obvious Johanna would never fit in there.
Likewise, Johanna at one point could have left her benefactor and rejoined the Kiowa who had raised her. This is following a deadly sandstorm from which they might have perished because they had lost their horse. But thy encounter a band of Kiowa that apparently is leaving their land, forced out by the policy of the state. From them they receive a replacement so they can continue their journey. There is no dialogue in this sequence, and none is needed.
Kidd does find the girl's aunt and uncle at last, but witnesses no warmth or compassion, just family obligation, as they grudgingly take custody of her. In San Antonio he tends to business and seems to find some closure as he visits his wife's grave. And then…
This is a film that will stay with you for a long time, especially if you devote some time and effort to think beyond its mere entertainment value. The very title out to resonate with the strong attack on the conveyors of the "news of the world." In this country a large portion of citizens have been convinced by charges of "fake news" and that reporters are "the scum of the earth," indeed, "The Enemy of the people"! Abroad, journalists have been killed for writing the facts rather than serving as propagandists for a government. "Of the World" is an important component, because it expands the horizons of its recipients. As we see in the film, even the ignorant, prejudiced denizens of the Texas small towns in which Kidd offers his readings are hungry to hear what is transpiring elsewhere. Despite their flaws, news papers, and today other forms of media, are our lifelines widening our narrow little worlds.
People of faith will appreciate that Kidd, whatever his personal beliefs, is an agent of the divine. From Exodus through the Letter of James we see that God has a special concern for outsiders, orphans in particular. Indeed, in his opening chapter James wrote (v. 26), "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." Thus Capt. Jefferson Kyle Kidd, who probably does not think of himself as a religious man, is certainly a spiritual agent. Whatever the future holds for him and his young charge in that troubled land, they will face it together. Each as what the other needs, love and trust, qualities that are at the core of what constitutes a family.
This review will be in the January y issue of VP along with a set of questions for reflection and/or discussion. If you have found reviews on this site helpful, please consider purchasing a subscription or individual issue in The Store.

Amazon files patent for underwater warehouses
Joe Quirke
American e-commerce giant Amazon has filed a patent with the US patents office for a system for storing and retrieving goods in an underwater facility.
When an item is ordered for delivery, a sonic signal is transmitted from a buoy to the warehouse, which activates an air canister that inflates a balloon, allowing the chosen product to float to the surface where it would be dispatched to the customer.
Amazon has already tested the use of drones to fly products to customers and in future drones could be used to collect packages after they have reached the water's surface from the aquatic warehouse.
Amazon also envisions that warehouses could be placed not just underwater but also underground (see image below), where packages would also be raised using balloons.
The design would counteract what Amazon says is the "inefficient use of space" and would avoid staff or machinery having to travel several thousand feet to locate items.
Last year Amazon patented flying warehouses.

Prostate cancer has the third highest incidence of all cancers in men worldwide and is the most common neoplasm diagnosed among men beyond middle age in many developed countries. Mounting evidence surrounding the consumption of tomato products has shown promise for the prevention of prostate cancer. This protective effect has more recently been linked to lycopene, the most abundant carotenoid in tomatoes. Lycopene is a natural pigment that gives the red color to many foods. In Western countries, 85% of dietary lycopene can be attributed to the consumption of tomato-based products. This article reviews emerging evidence from epidemiologic studies for the role of lycopene in prostate cancer prevention. The majority of evidence currently comes from observational studies, but recent human clinical trials and animal studies have provided additional support. Growing evidence on the biologic mechanisms of lycopene in prostate cancer prevention also confirm the epidemiologic findings.

That was the message to the players. We have to continue to improve. We can't come back and start over. We've got to be able to have everything right where it is or better."One area Arians wants to see improve is the players' conditioning."We're not in the best shape," he said. "We've got to get in better condition to play as fast as we want to play, especially offensively."Receiver Larry Fitzgerald agreed."I don't think we are where we did to be," he said. "We still have a lot of things to work on. Once we get to training and guys are really clicking on all cylinders, we're going to start to get better. Offense takes a little time."Defensively, the Cardinals showed an aggressive, attacking-style ,getting their hands on a number of thrown passes, including several interceptions."I think we made great progress, as a unit, as a defense," said Patrick Peterson, who believes the defense under coordinator Todd Bowles can be special. "But like (Arians) said earlier in the team meeting, soccer practice is over. Now it's time to put the big boy pads on. Now it's time to see what we've really got." Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs' buying and selling The Cardinals, because of the collective bargaining agreement, have practiced in only helmets and shorts up until this point. A full padded practice won't come until training camp."I know how good they play soccer right now," Arians said. "Football is a noise-level game and the noise-level scares some guys. Other guys love it. That's what we've got to find. That's how we make the football team and that will define us, physicality."The Cardinals, who escaped major injury this offseason, are now technically off until all parties reconvene in six weeks in Glendale.Of course, there is no such thing as being "off" in the National Football League."If you're taking time off, then we're going backwards," said Arians, who was pleased to hear his quarterbacks and receivers will continue their work together away from the team's training facility."This is a time to really push forward conditioning-wise and to continue to improve," he continued. "But other than that, I've been extremely pleased with the effort, the participation. I like where our football team is right now." Top Stories School is out for summer.At least, that's how it felt as players hustled off the field Thursday morning, ending the team's three-day mandatory minicamp and offseason work."It was an outstanding spring; I thought we got a lot done in all phases," said head coach Bruce Arians, who kept his players on the field for only a 30-minute practice, rewarding their effort, both on and off the field, over the past ten weeks.

Why police are concerned about Missouri's new gun law
by: Emily Manley
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Law enforcement officers from around the state want clarification on a new law that makes federal gun law "invalid."
The Second Amendment Preservation Act, better known as SAPA, took effect at the end of August. It nullifies federal gun laws and allows police departments to be sued up to $50,000 for violating someone's Second Amendment rights. It's also causing confusion for law enforcement, affecting the way officers protect Missourians. Even some departments have cut ties with federal task forces because of the consequences.

"If the court can give us some clarification, we can go back to business as usual but right now, it's caused a lot of confusion and concern," executive board member of the Missouri Police Chiefs' Association Chris DiGuiseppi said. "Everybody just wants the answer to this."
One of the largest controversial bills, House Bill 85, passed by the General Assembly in the past year is causing hesitancy. The new law "prohibits state and local cooperation with federal officials that attempt to enforce any laws, rules, orders or actions that violate the Second Amendment rights of Missourians."
"I have known chiefs that have had to resign from the drug task force boards," DiGiuseppi said. "When you talk about a federal task force, most of that task force is made up of municipal officers or county or state police."
DiGuiseppi, also the chairman of the St. Louis Area Police Chiefs' Association, said law enforcement is pro-Second Amendment, but the language in the law is vague, causing issues between agencies.
"The police departments are running into those dilemmas and that is causing problems," DiGiuseppi said. "Lawmakers I think did not have any intention of these unintended consequences. Most of those we work with are very pro-police."
Inside the Capitol, the General Assembly just finished its first full week of the 2022 legislative session. Republicans have said they don't see a need to revise the rule.

"I think you're going to have to present an incredibly compelling case that what we did has had a direct impact on X, Y, or Z enforcement and we're going to have to see that," Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden said. "You're going to have to give us a solution that fixes the problem and doesn't undo the other things we want to do. I haven't seen that yet and I would be surprised if there is anything out there that will change most of our minds."
There is concern that a change to the law might not protect Missourians' Second Amendment Right.
"I think I disagree with some of their assessment and that's where I'm at today," House Speaker Rob Vescovo, R-Arnold, said.
Roughly 60 police chiefs have signed affidavits in court, not wanting to overturn the law, but wanting clarification.
"When we have attorneys or legal advisors and or insurance companies telling us, no you might be at risk, you could get sued, this could bring about frivolous lawsuits because of the wording when you put a stolen gun into the computer," DiGiuseppi said. "Well, if that's true, that hurts gun owners."
DiGiuseppi, also the police chief of Lake St. Louis, said this new law has even caused problems with hiring new officers.
Local school districts caution parents of possible temporary closures
Both St. Louis City and County, along with Jackson County, tried to prevent the law from going into effect, but a judge sided with the state. The lawsuit was appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court, where it's set to be heard next month.
Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, D-Independence, has filed a bill to repeal parts of SAPA that prohibit police from seeking aid in federal gun enforcement. The legislation is called "Back the Blue Act."
"My bill is the real deal, it will allow police officers to do their job, work with federal partners to stop gun violence, to catch criminals, and keep men and women in uniform safe," Rizzo said.
The law has resulted in agencies across the state withdrawing from joint efforts with the Breau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
The Missouri State Highway Patrol withdrew three troopers from participation in any ATF Task Forces
The Columbia Police department withdrew four officers from participation in an ATF Task Force
The Johnson County Sheriff withdrew one deputy from participation in an ATF Task Force
The O'Fallon Police department withdrew two officers with K-9s from participation in an ATF Task Force
The Sedalia Police department withdrew two officers from participation in an ATF Task Force.
The ATF filing also says that the Highway Patrol's Missouri Information Analysis Center will no longer provide investigative support to ATF, citing the Second Amendment Preservation Act

Executive Directors from both the St. Louis Area Police Chiefs' Association and the Missouri Police Chiefs' Association issued the following statement regarding their endeavor to seek clarification from the courts regarding the second amendment preservation act:
"The St. Louis Area Police Chiefs' Association and the Missouri Police Chiefs' Association are NOT seeking to overturn the Second Amendment Preservation Act but rather seeking clarification from the court outlined in the amicus briefs filed to ensure that law enforcement return to operating and functioning as it always has. The vague language contained within the law has caused confusion and solicited varying legal opinions which has resulted in unintended operational consequences.
We believe that the intent of the SAPA was to protect the second amendment, and gun owners, without encroaching on federal partnerships within law enforcement, imposing hiring restrictions on law enforcement, and or restricting law enforcement from protecting gun owners when their firearms are stolen. We also believe that the intent of the SAPA was to protect against new federal gun-related laws, enacted after August 28, 2021, and not apply to existing federal laws, so as not to impede local law enforcement working with federal task forces in their endeavors to protect our communities from violent and dangerous criminals. It's important that we both protect the second amendment and support our police officers."

Mike Winkeljohn: It's Time For Jon Jones To Go Up To Heavyweight
11th April 2020 11th April 2020 Sinisa Borota
The current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, has for a long time teased of moving up to the heavyweight division. Having gone through multiple generations at 205lbs, some fans believe now is the time to see 'Bones' move up. And they're not alone, the 32 year old's coach Mike Winkeljohn believes now is the right time.
Speaking to BJPenn.com, Winkeljohn admitted that he was opposing this idea for a long time, but has changed his mind.
"I want Jon to fight whatever motivates him. When he is up for a fight that motivates him he trains at the highest level," he said. "I always wanted him to just continue to clean house at light heavyweight and make his legacy there as opposed to going up to heavyweight. But, at this point, it's time for Jon Jones to take the big fights [and go up to heavyweight]."
Winkeljohn is aware of the dangers of fighting at heavyweight, but he is confident that Jones would do a great job.
"Jon can definitely fight at heavyweight and destroy a lot of these guys. But, at heavyweight that is a lot of weight and when they swing for the fences and connect stuff happens. We've seen it before," he explained. "It is always a scary thing but the scary situations that motivates Jon Jones."
There are plenty of possible opponents for Jones at heavyweight, including a shot at the title against Stipe Miocic. Or other exciting names, such as Francis Ngannou or Junior dos Santos. Although maybe the most exciting opponent would be Daniel Cormier. Their trilogy fight at heavyweight would be a real treat for MMA fans, as many believe that 'DC' is the best version of himself when he doesn't have to cut weight. However, Winkeljohn doesn't think the outcome would be any different.
"No, I don't think Cormier wants any part of Jon Jones. I think Jones is that good and DC is super talented and I like that guy," Winkeljohn said. "But, when someone has your number it is hard to get that win. I hope I am wrong about it and that fight happens."
Do you think we'll ever see Jon Jones fight at heavyweight? And if so, who would you like to see him fight?

If you call the Gaza death toll 'disproportionate,' how many Israelis have to die for the sake of symmetry?
Russia's Putin said Wednesday Russian military vessels with "Kalibr" cruise rockets will be on permanent standby because of ongoing terrorist threats in Syria.
Earlier on Tuesday Putin said that 14 missile regiments would receive the new Yars intercontinental missile complexes to replace their old Topol complexes this year as part of a build-up of the state's armed forces.
At a meeting with defence ministry officials in the Black Sea city of Sochi on Tuesday, Putin added that the national defence industry would also receive modernized missile-carrying bombers in 2018.
He also told officials that the defence sector should finish the development and prepare for manufacturing the S-500 surface-to-air anti-ballistic missile system capable of intercepting targets at the highest altitudes including near space.
CNBC also reported Tuesday that Putin's new Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle is expected to enter Russia's arsenal by 2020. The report added that Russia has successfully tested the new hypersonic weapon, which the United States is currently unable to defend against - according to sources with direct knowledge of U.S. intelligence reports.

City Neighbourhood – Sarai Kale Khan, Across Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station
August 26, 2018 · by The Delhi Walla · in Hangouts
The sarai beyond the station.
For many Delhiwallas, Hazrat Nizamuddin station is the place to go to when they have to board the Bombay-bound August Kranti Rajdhani Express. Or, when midnight hunger pangs drive them to a multi-specialty restaurant there, a glorified food court and one of the few round-the-clock eating junctions in that part of town.
A timespass anthropologist such as The Delhi Walla, however, might be attracted for a different reason. For these rail tracks divide the gentry of Nizamuddin East from the working class of Sarai Kale Khan.
The long airy balcony of the station's first floor frames a panoramic view of this other side. Sarai Kale Khan lies beyond the station's tin roofs. Pink, green and grey buildings of varying heights stand in raucous disorder. Unlike the planned world of tree-lined Nizamuddin East, this is a hotchpotch of concrete.
Get the platform ticket, walk along the railway station's footbridge to the other side and you land in a different universe.
Dusty streets branch out into dustier alleys. Meat shops stand cheek-by-jowl with travel-agent cabins. Footpath vendors sell ice sticks dipped in green syrup. The area's only park has neither grass nor flowers. The buildings consist of single-room tenements. Shared toilets face the streets.
Sarai Kale Khan is home to labourers, plumbers, drivers, artisans, block printers, rickshaw pullers, embroidery workers, and they are the workforce for the people living in the affluent colonies nearby. It is, for instance, the address of tailor Shamim, embroiderer Ifthikar, block- printer Sabir—these are the folks who find their clients in the households of the posh "Niz East".
This afternoon two boys, Muhammed Akhtar and Sumit Kumar, are standing on the dusty roadside, scrolling through Facebook on the mobile phone. Sumit's dad sells burgers on the street while Akhtar's father works in one of the many small embroidery factories that dot Kale Khan. The boys are studying at a government school. They are lucky.
Not all the young men here can afford luxuries of a school. At 17, Muhammed Siraj has given up his dream of becoming "some sort of an engineer." He is an embroidery worker. The kale Khan basement where he works with a dozen other workers is not larger than an average Nizamuddin East bedroom. At this time of the day, the floor is littered with scraps of cloth and lace. Each table has a white sewing machine. The workers are of varying ages. Some are dressed in shirts and lungis, others in trousers and white vests.
Mr Siraj arrived in Delhi from his village in Bihar. "My mama (uncle) was already working in Sarai Kale Khan. He called me here."
Mr Siraj shares a single-room apartment with two colleagues. The monthly rent is 3,000 rupees.
While thousands of such migrants have made Kale Khan their home, many Delhiwallas know it primarily for its inter-state bus terminus—buses for Rajasthan leave from here.
But Kale Khan has its own history. It used to be a village of Gujjar farmers who have transmuted into modern-day landlords of workers such as Mr Siraj. Some landlords still double as farmers; their fields lie nearby, on the banks of the Yamuna, where they grow vegetables and fruits.
At the same time, it is not unreasonable to connect Sarai Kale Khan with sarai, an inn. "The sarai was built by a late Mughal-era nobleman called Kale Khan," says RV Smith. The author of many books on Delhi's past, Mr Smith says confidently: "Though little is known about Kale Khan, I'm sure his original name was something else and he came to be known as 'Kale' because of his dark complexion… Travellers coming to Delhi from places as far apart as Agra and Kabul would stay in the sarai."
It is difficult to ascertain Mr Smith's claim. Some say Kale Khan was a Sufi saint in the Lodhi-era Delhi.
It also does not help matters you find no monument left from that era in Kale Khan. But there are a few grand bungalows belonging to rich landlords who build up multistory apartments to house the migrant force. These structures stand right next to their great houses. One such tenement has its stairs splattered with paan stains. In one room, a woman in a blue sari is sleeping on the bare floor. In another, a man is lying on a wooden cot, a mosquito net over his legs. The ceiling has no fan. It is utterly silent. Suddenly, a train engine in Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station sends out a long wail. The man doesn't stir.
At this very moment this same sound must have also been heard in the air-conditioned apartments of Nizamuddin East. Somebody there too may not have stirred from his slumber.

It is possible that 'Kale Khan' comes from 'Qilich/Kilich Khan', who was a very famous general and a favorite of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir.

It also helped us bond as a team. Not only did we leave with a strengthed product, but we left with a better understanding of ourselves."

Energy Asset Management (EAM) is the management and administration of regulatory, financial and contractual compliance related to energy assets. The program also teaches five key disciplines, and students are able to gain a broad understanding of how they fit with one another.
This program was created by the Centre for Energy Asset Management Studies (CEAMS) and is a unique program specific to SAIT with the first classes of the program beginning back in 2009.


If FileMaker isn't careful, people are going to start saying that Bento is the database software maker's flagship app. After all, the company—which offers an entire line of professional database applications under the FileMaker brand— already produces versions of Bento for both the Mac and the iPhone. On Friday, the software maker unveiled an iPad version of its personal database application, with a number of features designed specifically to take advantage of Apple's new tablet.
FileMaker now offers a version of Bento that's been optimized for Apple's iPad.
Like its iPhone counterpart, Bento for iPad is a $5 standalone app that also happens to sync with the Mac version of FileMaker's consumer-oriented database offering. But the iPad version figures to do a few things that the iPhone edition can't by taking advantage of the device's larger screen.
"We've really taken advantage of this platform and this device and made something really special for it," Ryan Rosenberg, FileMaker's vice president for marketing and services, told Macworld.
Bento for iPad supports both landscape and portrait views, and forms fill the device's entire screen.
Forms in Bento fill the iPad's entire screen. The app also offers a split-screen view that shows both record and summary details. Forms orient themselves in either landscape or portrait view depending on how you're holding the iPad.
Bento integrates with several other applications on the iPad—Address Book, Google Maps, Mail, and Safari. In fact, the app offers a built-in browser—tap on a URL in a record, and you can view the appropriate Web page without having to exit Bento.
The app supports 15 basic field types, such as text, numbers, e-mail addresses, and currency. (If you're using Bento on the Mac, you can also include calculations, related records, and simple and encrypted fields.) In a particularly nice touch, many of the fields offer their own interface—tap on a date field and a scroll wheel will appear for setting the date, while number fields use a numeric keypad. FileMaker also makes it easy to keep text fields organized—you can expand them with a tap to read the full text, and then tap the field to collapse it again.
Bento for iPad features a blank template if you want to start from scratch. But the app also offers 25 built-in templates—everything from contacts, notes, and to-dos to inventory, time billing, and issue tracking.
The templates, in fact, give a clue as to who FileMaker sees as potential users of both Bento and the iPad. FileMaker's Rosenberg outlined four potential user types for the app—business users collecting data in the field and managing events remotely; sales and marketing teams presenting portfolios and products; personal users keeping schedules, to-dos, and home inventories; and students and teachers, using the app for notes and attendance records.

Long Range Shooting: Video Series with Bryan Litz
Getting started in long-range shooting? Need some pointers on gun set-up and hardware options? Bryan Litz of Applied Ballistics has created a helpful series of videos for the NSSF covering long range shooting. Bryan, a past F-TR Long-Range National Champion and Chief Ballistician for Berger Bullets, knows his stuff. His Applied Ballistics squad was the winning team at the 2016 King of 2 Miles event. Here are four (4) videos, each covering a topic of interest for long-range shooters. Running 3-4 minutes each, these videos can help you get started, and invest wisely when acquiring your next long-range rifle, scope, and accessories.
Long Range Precision — The Keys to Success
TIP for Plotting Long Range Trajectories: You want to know the true, actual ballistic coefficients of your loads. The BCs listed by manufacturers for their projectiles may be somewhat unreliable — the real BC could be higher or lower (and BC can change with velocity). That can result in problems at longer distances. Using sophisticated equipment, Applied Ballistics has measured true BCs for hundreds of projectiles. Plugging these verified numbers into your Ballistics App can improve your hit percentage at long range.
Tools of Choice — Purpose-Built Long Range Rifles
TIP for Choosing a Rifle: When you're selecting a rifle for long range shooting, it's important to understand your application and objectives. The applications for long-range shooting can be very refined. You have to select all the details of your application to select the correct rifle. Here are two examples — a semi-auto AR-platform rifle with scope and a bolt-action Fullbore (Palma) rifle with aperture sights. There are many other long range disciplines — F-TR for example. The F-TR rig uses a bipod and rear bag and a scope. To be competitive, a modern F-TR rig should shoot well under half-MOA.
Equipment Advice — Upgrading Your Hardware
TIP for Upgrading Your Rifle: At some point factory rifle owners will recognize weak links in the equipment chain. You can run that factory rifle for quite some time, but the barrel is eventually what's going to hold you back. The twist-rate may not be high enough to stabilize the high-BC bullets. So the first thing you're going to want to upgrade is the barrel. You want to get a fast twist-rate barrel with a chamber that is optimized for the bullet you'll be shooting. A good-quality, custom barrel will be easier to clean, and it will improve the overall accuracy and precision of your shooting.
Big Boomers — Large-Caliber Rifles for Long Range
TIP for Shooting Hard-Recoiling Rifles: Bryan Litz defines "Large Caliber" as .338 caliber and bigger. These rifles can shoot heavy bullets with high BCs. However there are some trade-offs. It can be hard to maintain good fundamentals of marksmanship (trigger control, sight alignment) when you're fighting heavy recoil and burning 100+ grains of powder. You're dealing with the challenges that high energy brings. You want a muzzle brake with any cartridge .338 or above. Also, when considering lathe-turned solid bullets, remember that these typically have less sectional density compared to lead-cored bullets with similar profiles. This affects ballistics as well as recoil energy.

Arizona Scorpions Junior High Power Team Prepares for Perry
Story based on report by Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
The Arizona Scorpions Junior High Power Rifle Team has earned a great reputation at major matches. These young folks can shoot. Year after year, the Scorpions have ranked among the top Junior teams in the nation. Since 1983, the team has earned six Minuteman Trophies — awarded to the top junior team in the CMP's National Trophy Rifle Team Match. The team has also taken home 14 Junior Infantry Team Trophy National Champion titles since 1988. Sponsored by the Arizona State Rifle & Pistol Association (AZRPA), the team is headed to Camp Perry this year with lofty goals.
At last year's National Matches, three AZ Scorpions (Zac Clark, Sarah Nguyen and Kade Jackovich) placed among the Top 20 junior competitors during the CMP's National Trophy Individual match. What's more, four Scorpions teams placed in the Top 25 at the National Trophy Junior Team event. A six-person AZ Scorpions team also beat out 14 other junior teams to earn the top place and 13th overall in the difficult Infantry Team Match (Rattle Battle).
Look for the AZ Scorpions and other junior High Power teams at this year's National Matches, firing throughout the month of July at Camp Perry! Registration is open for the 2017 National Matches. CLICK HERE for more information.
Scorpions Shooters Go Distinguished at a Young Age
Many Scorpions juniors are on their way to earning their Distinguished Rifleman Badge. Recently, Scorpions juniors Zac Clark and Sarah Nguyen took first and second, respectively, during the 2017 Desert Sharpshooters Excellence In Competition (EIC) Service Rifle Match in March, which helped the pair move closer towards their individual Distinguished Rifleman Badges. Clark and Nguyen also took the top two places during the 2016 Creedmoor Cup Match in Phoenix in October.
Scorpion Zade Jackovich earned a spot on the coveted President's 100 team after an outstanding performance during the President's Rifle Match in 2015. Zade earned his final EIC points during the National Trophy Individual Match, so he could take the stage to be pinned with a Distinguished Badge.
Scorpions Team Members Earn Military Academy Appointments
Nguyen, recently received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, class of 2021, and is the fourth Scorpion to do so. Other talented Scorpions "alumni" include Tyler Rico, who fired on the team from 2007 to 2012, and became the youngest marksman to earn the Distinguished Rifleman Badge when he was 13 years old. He has also held several National Records, among other accomplishments, and went on to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. In total, four members of the team earned shooting scholarships to military academies in 2012, including spots at West Point and the Naval Academy.

SNMMI 2020: New Theranostic Agents Show Efficacy for Prostate Cancer Treatment
Researchers have developed a new pair of agents that show exceptional effectiveness for precision diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in preclinical studies. The agents, which target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), can be easily and economically synthesized without specialized equipment. This research was presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's 2020 Annual Meeting on July 11-14.
PSMA is highly overexpressed in both primary and metastatic prostate cancer, making it a leading target for the development of radiopharmaceuticals. Iodine has several easily available isotopes with long half-life that can be used for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) or therapy. However, currently available radioiodinated PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceuticals require multiple steps for production, which reduces their yield and poses significant challenges for producing therapeutic doses.
To address this issue, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York, New York, developed the novel radioiodinated PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceutical 124/131I-MSK-PSMA1. "We were motivated by the fact that 131I is widely available, economical, can be used for diagnostic imaging and has demonstrated efficacy as a therapeutic agent. Our goal was to develop a radiopharmaceutical that can be produced very easily in high yields and high purity without requiring specialized equipment," said Dr. Kishore Pillarsetty, a radiochemist at MSK and senior author on the research. "124/131I-MSK-PSMA1 is the result of this search."
To demonstrate its efficacy, researchers synthesized 124/131I-MSK-PSMA1 and performed in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro saturation binding assays were performed in prostate cancer cells, which were later harvested and counted for radioactivity using a gamma counter. In vivo PET imaging and biodistribution studies were performed on mice bearing prostate cancer xenografts.
Figure: Panel A shows PET images (coronal slices) of 124I-MSK-PSMA1 in mice bearing PC3-PIP xenografts on the right shoulder at 24, 48 and 168 hours after administration, demonstrating accumulation and retention of activity in the tumor. Panel B shows ex vivo biodistribution data of 131I-MSK-PSMA1 in mice bearing PC3-PIP xenografts at 1, 2, 6 and 24 hours after administration.
The study indicates that 124/131I-MSK-PSMA1 can be produced in high yields without generating volatile byproducts, eliminating the need for high-pressure liquid chromatography purification. The in vitro and in vivo studies in prostate cancer cell and tumor xenograft models indicate high specificity, favorable pharmacokinetics and rapid clearance from non-target tissue.
"The exceptional tumor targeting and clearance from non-PSMA-expressing tissues make 124I-MSK-PSMA1 an excellent PET imaging agent and the corresponding 131I-MSK-PSMA1 a highly potent radiotherapeutic agent," said lead author Teja Muralidar Kalidindi, a senior research technician at MSK . "Because the diagnostic and therapeutic isotopes are chemically identical, we can precisely estimate the dose delivered to the tumor and other organs and personalize the dose to achieve the goals of precision medicine. We believe that 124/131I-MSK-PSMA1 has the potential to become part of the armamentarium available to the nuclear medicine and molecular imaging community for the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients."
Researchers are currently working with nuclear medicine clinicians to translate these findings into the first-in-human clinical trial for 124/131I-MSK-PSMA1. Additionally, the team plans to develop a kit formulation that will facilitate on-demand, onsite production to ensure that the radiopharmaceutical is available to the worldwide research community.

Brazi Bites sells majority stake to equity firm
Source: Brazi Bites
By Anna Wiber
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Equity Partners (SFEP) has acquired a majority stake in Brazi Bites, a Portland, Ore.-based company that produces frozen gluten-free Brazilian-style cheese bread. By partnering with SFEP, Brazi Bites believes it will be able to build around its current strength as a better-for-you brand and expand into other categories.
"SEFP is the ideal partner for Brazi Bites based on their experience guiding authentic consumer brands to a broader audience," said Junea Rocha, co-founder and chief executive officer, Brazi Bites. "Over the next few years, Brazi Bites will become a platform for delicious, better-for-you Latin American foods. We are excited for this new partnership to accelerate the distribution growth for our current product offering and pursue the numerous growth opportunities for our brand."
The concept for Brazi Bites is based off Pão de Queijo, a popular Brazilian snack. It is made using tapioca flour, milk, eggs and cheese. The product's simple and gluten-free ingredients have positioned the company to expand as consumers seek out clean label snacks.
With 4,554% growth in three years, the company was ranked No. 81 on the Inc. 5000 annual list of "America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies." Brazi Bites' product line, which includes four different varieties, is available at more than 6,000 stores in the United States, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, Costco, Wegmans, Publix, Target, Safeway and more.

"Lam's firing has always been at the heart of this. I've had a lot of people ask me why we devoted so much virtual ink to this story so early. But the truth is that by rights Lam's dismissal should have sounded alarm bells for everyone on day one.
What people tend to overlook is that for most White House's a US attorney involved in such a politically charged and ground-breaking corruption probe would have been untouchable, even if she'd run her office like a madhouse and was offering free twinkies to every illegal who made it across the border. Indeed, when you view the whole context you see that the idea she was fired for immigration enforcement is just laughable on its face. No decision about her tenure could be made without the main issue being that investigation. It's like hearing that Pat Fitzgerald was fired as Plamegate prosecutor for poor deportment or because he was running up too many air miles flying back and forth from Chicago."
Personally, I think the fact that Lam was closing in on Rep. Jerry Lewis was the potential whale that prompted the White House to act, and act quick.
I don't think Lewis or the White House ever thought that the firings would go uncontested. I think all it was intended to do was to give Lewis and others who were going to be investigated a bit more time to put their houses in order. That means getting all their stories straight, organized timelines, shred evidence and partner up on what to do, and with who.
Yep, I agree. After they got Cunningham, Lam had worn out her welcome. The Administration synched up after that and got rid of those AAGs hitting republicans or not going after democrats before the election.
Cunningham sucking it up and biting the bullet very quickly always impressed me. I still believe that Cunningham stepped up to the plate and took one for the team.
I await an pardon for Cunningham and Libby at the end of Bush's term.
Even more information. Very revealing. Check out the dates in April and May.

India has imposed antidumping duty on as many as 98 products imported from China
in National January 3, 2018	0 628 Views
NEW DELHI:3/1/18; India has imposed antidumping duty on as many as 98 products, as on December 27 last year, imported from China, Parliament was informed on Wednesday.
The products on which the duty was imposed include flax fabrics, vitamin C, certain fibres and chemicals, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry C R Chaudhary said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.
He also said trade deficit with China stood at USD 36.73 billion during April-October this fisca"Increasing trade deficit with China can be attributed primarily to the fact that Chinese exports to India rely strongly on manufactured items to meet the demand of fast expanding sectors like telecom and power," he said.Countries initiate antidumping probes to determine if the domestic industry has been hurt by a surge in below-cost imports.
As a counter measure, they impose duties under the multilateral WTO regime.
Antidumping measures are taken to ensure fair trade and provide a level-playing field to the domestic industry. They are not a measure to restrict imports or cause an unjustified increase in cost of products.
