Already, India is a renewable energy leader, especially when it comes to solar. It has some of the largest solar projects in the world, and plans to expand to 20 gigawatts (GW) by 2020 and 200 GW by 2050 as part of the “National Solar Mission.” Given recent circumstances, however, they appear poised to go even bigger.
As a kid growing up in Wisconsin, I would attend the annual summer fly-in of the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh. It’s truly a spectacle -- on display you can find everything from World War II bombers to ultralights to the SR71; one year they even had the Harrier jet demonstrate a vertical take off.
According to a recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) report, 98.6% of all new energy capacity brought online in the first quarter of 2016 came from renewable energy. It’s not quite 100%, but it’s close. The remaining 1.4% came from natural gas.
Every day, we see another example of tremendous progress on renewable energy. Wind and solar, as well as electric cars, are becoming mainstream “go-to” options, reinforcing that the move to 100% renewable energy is underway. At the same time, most experts will acknowledge that one of the next biggest challenges will be powering our aircrafts with renewable energy.

How WH reader Kelly Simoneau achieved her fitspirational bod.
At 212 pounds, Kelly Simoneau didn't reflect much on her eating habits. She'd satisfy afternoon cravings with canned frosting, and polish off 16-ounce bags of gummy bears. But when Kelly enrolled in nursing school at age 24, she started to realize how her weight might impact her long-term health.
During her second semester of nursing school, Kelly encountered dozens of patients with obesity-induced diabetes and heart disease. Over the next two years, she cycled through various diets, losing 15 pounds each time but gaining back most of it whenever she deviated from a plan.
Eventually, Kelly got down to 190 pounds and discovered fitness model and blogger Kelsey Byers, whose "before" body mirrored her own. She followed her tips and started doing 30 minutes of cardio and weight lifting, two or three days a week. Her goal: to do a Kelsey-inspired fitness photo shoot by age 30.
Kelly dropped off the workout wagon once she got down to 183 pounds, but continued to follow Kelsey's model of eating five to seven small meals a day (all lean protein, carbs, and veggies). By December, she lost 12 more pounds.
Kelly's tip: "I make three or four days' worth of food at one time, and I'll take a meal on-the-go with me when needed."
Next, Kelly enrolled in an online fitness program from trainer James Wilson. She commited to doing 25 minutes of cardio and weight lifting, four to five days a week. By December 2014, the scale read 165.
To melt off 10 more pounds, Kelly relied on three days of jogging or high-intensity interval training (at 25 minutes a pop), plus five days of heavy lifting each week. She stuck to a targeted diet to help her decrease fat and build muscle.
Kelly's tip: "Don't be afraid to lift. You will not look like a man. I want people to know that."
One week shy of her 30th birthday, Kelly reached her goal weight of 150 pounds and posed for her fitness shoot. "I've never been happier, but I want to keep improving," says Kelly.
"You might not notice the small changes, but the difference is really clear when you compare the photos side by side."

For years, the Marine Corps has worked to shift its fighting focus back to the sea and how it might deploy larger units for its traditional amphibious assault mission if the United States faces a near-peer threat.
But right now, the Marine Corps does not even have enough ships to train for that contingency.
There are mounting worries among top Marine officials and defense experts who say that today’s Navy and Marine Corps are not sufficiently trained nor equipped to mount a large-scale invasion from the sea without catastrophic casualties and uncertain success.
The U.S. Navy’s fleet of amphibious assault ships would be vulnerable to coastal attack from a well-equipped enemy like China because the U.S. Navy ships lack the effective fires, sensors and combat formations to counter enemy defense systems, according to top military and government officials.
Moreover, today’s Navy fleet is too small to afford the Marines the opportunity to train for large-scale amphibious assaults.
While it’s common for the Corps to train with Marine Expeditionary Units, a force of about 2,000 Marines aboard multiple ships, the Navy is rarely able to provide enough ships for Marines to train in the larger formations that a real amphibious assault would require.
If the Marines were summoned for a large-scale maneuver from the sea, a well-equipped enemy would likely sink some of their ships and cause massive casualties, said one top Marine official.
“Guess what? Some of our ships are going to go to the bottom with these great sailors and Marines,” Marine Maj. Gen. David Coffman, director of expeditionary warfare for the chief of naval operations, said at a recent talk to the Navy League.
Top Marine and Navy leaders have laid out plans for modernizing the Corps, especially how it integrates with the Navy while fighting in the contested “littoral zones” or areas a few hundred miles out to sea, into the beachhead and at shorter ranges inland.
They agree that the Corps’ Marine Expeditionary Units are well-trained, but near peer threats such as Russia, China, North Korea or Iran would require the use of a Marine Expeditionary Brigade or even a Marine Expeditionary Force.
The services’ forcible entry capability, a core competency of the Marine Corps and Navy team, is “at risk” above the MEU level, said Marine Lt. Gen. Brian D. Beaudreault, deputy commandant for plans, policies and operations.
“The ability to generate the number of ships required to train at a Marine Expeditionary Brigade level just simply isn’t there,” Beaudreault told the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness during recent testimony.
The Navy and Marine Corps do not have enough amphibious ships to both fulfill their naval operations requirements and train at a level much higher than the MEU, he said.
Beyond the MEU, the Corps’ larger formations include a Marine Expeditionary Brigade with about 15,000 sailors and Marines. The Corps’ largest formation is the Marine Expeditionary Force, which can have more than 62,000 Marines and sailors at its disposal.
But Marines rarely assemble MEBs and MEFs for training or combat.
The concerns about the Navy’s ability to support the Corps’ amphibious assault capability raise fundamental issues about how Washington manages the military. Multibillion-dollar shipbuilding budgets are notoriously micromanaged by Congress and have long timelines that span both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Such long-term planning decisions for the current fleet were made in times of uncontested seas and when what are now near-peer adversaries lacked the capabilities to effectively deter and deny U.S. forced entry.
The size of the Navy fleet overall has been steadily shrinking for decades — and the amphib fleet is no exception.
In the 1990s, the Navy had 62 amphibious warfare ships; today it has 32.
Ideally, Marines would like as many as 50 amphibious warfare ships. Officially, current plans aim to reach 34 by fiscal year 2021 and an end goal of 38 by 2033.
The number of 38 was reached back in 2009 when the then commandant and CNO determined that they could fund 34 ships but would need 38 to support two MEBs, factoring in 10 percent of ships down for maintenance.
The ship shortage and its impact on Marine training was highlighted by a recent Government Accountability Office report.
The Navy could not fulfill 93 percent, or 293 out of 314, of the Marine Corps’ requests for amphibious training for the San Diego-based I MEF. And nearly half of the 40 requests from North Carolina-based II MEF went unfilled.
“If called on, these units could be left scrambling to obtain last minute training, risking their ability to be fully ready once deployed and underway,” Russell said.
But getting more ships may be a pipe dream when the Marines are competing in a tight budget environment with major Navy priorities such as next generation submarines, said retired Marine Col. David C. Fuquea, professor at the U.S. Naval War College.
“I get it, there’s not enough amphib ships, but there never has been and there won’t be in the future,” he said.
Enemy shore defenses have improved significantly during the past 20 years. And while building more U.S. Navy ships would help, that alone will not solve the problem without better fires capabilities and sensors, he said.
Recently Marines have put the typically land-based High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, aboard ships and struck targets on shore.
At the same time, they have asked industry for a mobile, shore-based anti-ship missile system to defend Marines ashore from attacks at sea.
But the stand-off ranges of up to 400 miles that some adversaries’ coastal defense systems provide may keep U.S. ships out of the fight if they can’t also be lethal, Coffman said.
“The amphibious fleet is a challenge with the price of entry in this age of fires,” Coffman said.
Though some experts have called for an increase in naval gunfire, adding 16-18-20 inch guns back onto ships, Coffman said the future is likely in rockets and missiles.
Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller has acknowledged some of those concerns about ships being ill-equipped for a large-scale fight.
“If the enemy has a capability to shoot my large ship or my destroyer or my carrier from a couple hundred nautical miles away — or maybe longer — I’ve got to do something about that,” Neller said in September at the annual Modern Day Marine conference in Quantico, Virginia.
“That’s why it’s important that all of these ships have the capability to do some sort of strike or denial, or some way to suppress that capability.
The solution may be tactical, Neller said. The Marine Corps does not plan to “land directly into the teeth of an enemy defense,” Neller said. Instead, the Corps will find gaps in an enemy’s defenses to put Marines ashore.
The Marine Corps also has options to disrupt or destroy enemy sensors and defenses, he said.
Fuquea, the retired colonel, has long argued that the force must look at alternatives to amphibious assault ships for getting Marines to shore with the right equipment, and fast.
He said alternatives could include adopting tactical vehicles that will fit inside the V-22 Osprey.
Also, the retired colonel said that new civilian cruise ships can travel faster and carry more Marines than many amphibious ships. The Corps could use cruise ships, rigged with fast-moving boats on the side of the ships and refitted to hold gear and Marines for quick launches from farther distances.
Using commercially available boats such as the CB90, a fast attack assault craft that can carry a tactical vehicle and 18 Marines, units could move more fighters and the necessary equipment to the shore much faster, and cheaper, than in amphibious tracked vehicles, he said.
The boat travels nearly three times as fast as the current Amphibious Assault Vehicle in use to connect Marines from ship to shore.
Without enough gators, the Marine Corps has been experimenting with transporting Marines on other types of military and commercial ships.
During last year’s Koa Moana theater security exercise, Marines spent six months embarked on maritime prepositioning ships Pililaau and Sacagawea, both Military Sealift Command cargo ships, for training missions in Australia, New Guinea and Peru.
But alternative ships like these are not meant for combat operations, Lt. Gen. David Berger — now commander of MARFORPAC — said in March 2015.
“If you’re in a high-intensity conflict where you have to have a really tough time penetrating a high-end defense, you’re not going to plow in there with an aluminum hull anything, not for very long,” said Berger, who led I MEF at the time.
William Lloyd Stearman, a National Security Council staff member under four presidents, has argued for creating a “floating fortress” by converting a civilian supertanker used for shipping cargo into a heavily-armed platform that could launch helicopters, jets and boatloads of Marines and gear.
The concept would add firepower to enable the ship to both show force and produce enough offensive force to enter contested amphibious positions.
“The expeditionary ship’s very large deck could accommodate a variety of helicopters, as well as jet fighters and a fleet of drones,” Stearman wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal commentary.
He added that a supertanker ship’s complement would include a MEU-sized force or larger.
Peter Singer, a strategist for the New America Foundation and co-author of the book “Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War,” said to overcome the fires problem, Marines are looking at new methods to attack from the sea.
He said future amphib assaults will mean more landings deeper inland combined with shore assaults.
The Marines are already working with unmanned ships and other ways to take humans out of harm’s way in battle.
“Make it robotic…how do we use robotics to be in those first waves so that they’re the ones taking risks, forcing the enemy to reveal where their weapons are so that we can take them out?” Singer said.
Fuquea said that the distance provided by alternative connectors and platforms to deliver Marines to the fight could clear up funding to better arm the existing amphibious ships. He also argued that while the range of adversaries’ fires is longer, it isn’t necessarily as accurate.
Current methods require ships to be 12 miles offshore to deliver Marines to the beachhead, he said. But with different connectors, such as the CB90s and others, Marines could assault from over the horizon, as far as 100 miles from the beach.
That distance would increase the length of coast that the adversaries must protect, stretching their defensive capabilities.
But despite the concerns about ship shortages and adversaries’ ability to keep ships at a distance, Singer said, the Corps still has a unique capability.
“You could flip it the other way: For all of the complaints, it’s a capability that no other nation has,” he said.
Senior reporter Jeff Schogol contributed to this report.

I am sure there is a list of all the mins for SIMS 2.
EDIT: wow I am slow. I think you can get them at any place that sells computer things. Like Best Buy, Circut City and those sort of places. I am sure someone there could explain how to install it. I think all you do is put it into your computer though. I am not sure though.

Good luck with getting it working.

A voiceover often adds impact to a film. A classic example is Amitabh Bachchan's thundering baritone at the beginning of Lagaan, which served as a prologue and gave an idea of what to expect from the film. Prakash Jha too is planning to adapt a similar strategy for his political thriller Satyagraha.
"Satyagraha as a concept is based on Mahatma Gandhi and Prakashji is planning to start the film with a quote from Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography My Experiments With Truth", said a source close to the film, adding that nothing has been finalised yet as they are still toying with the idea.
If reports are to believed and if Jha zeroes in on the idea, he may either request Amitabh Bachchan, who plays the lead role in the film and whose character is apparently inspired by social activist Anna Hazare, to give the voiceover for the quote or he may just flash it on the screen.
Satyagraha also stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao, and releases 23 August 2013.

garden | "A Place for Learning"
I haven’t planted a garden in years. I think the last time I tried I ran into two problems: 1) red clay in my yard, and 2) a basset hound that like to dig. But this year I decided to try again but this time I planted a raised garden.
For years I enjoyed a hot tub on my deck but over the last three or four years I never used it. I tried many times to give it away to someone who would enjoy it but no takers and since it is soooo BIG and difficult to move I have “repurposed” it into my raised garden bed.
First Allen drilled a couple of holes in the bottom for drainage. Then I layered gravel. Next some fill dirt, followed by garden soil. Then my plants. Since I have never tried gardening in a small space I am not sure what to expect. I planted several tomatoes, yellow squash and zucchini and several sweet peppers along with basil. In the middle where it will be harder to reach I threw in some zinnia seeds.
Can’t wait now to see what happens.

LANCASTER, Pa. --- A bill introduced Monday aims to legalize recreational marijuana for adult uses.
The proposal, Senate Bill 350, is co-sponsored by state Senator Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery/Delaware) and state Senator Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia.
Allow the consumption of cannabis by anyone who is age 21 or older.
Automatically expunge previous cannabis-related convictions while commuting sentences related to such crimes.
Permit people to grow up to six cannabis plants in their home for personal use.
Entrepreneurial structure for "micro-growers" and educational programs.
Directing tax revenue from recreational marijuana to public education, letting school districts decide how to use their portions whether it is investing in students or providing property tax relief.
This proposal comes as Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman's recreational marijuana listening tours continue, including a stop Monday in Lancaster.
Creg Cox, an attendee at the event, believes the legalization of recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania is overdue.
“Colorado has been a success. The tax revenue is putting money into the schools, the healthcare system. If the budget is tight these days, why not make it legal? Get the tax revenue," said Cox, a Lancaster resident.
Jake Sitler of Marietta said he believes it brings benefits to a number of areas, including health and agricultural economy.
“From the stand point of people being incarcerated for small amounts of marijuana in the past and it’s ruined a lot of lives. I, personally, have never seen the amount of destruction come from marijuana than you could see from, say, alcohol," said Sitler.
Christine Glover, a member of Compass Mark Addiction Prevention, which is a non-profit organization serving Lebanon and Lancaster County, believes it's time to pump the breaks on the marijuana conversation.
“Make sure that all the appropriate messaging and lots of extra funds for prevention can be available so that we can use our science to kind of reduce those risks for the youth," said Glover.
Bevan Allen, also a member of Compass Mark, said they have "concerns" over the speed the debate is going.
She said they worry about issues such as whether the commonwealth is ready from a regulation standpoint to the normalization of marijuana around minors as the recreational debate comes shortly after the medicinal marijuana rollout.
“When kids are not necessarily concerned, they hear their parents speaking positively about substance abuse, that puts them at risk of taking bigger risks, such as using marijuana," said Allen.
The marijuana listening tour heads to York County Tuesday with a meeting at York College of Pennsylvania at 6 p.m.

Many of you probably read this entry a few weeks ago when Sarah from Clover Lane posted it. I wanted to have record of it here on my blog, too.
Twenty-four years ago this month, I happily told my husband that we were going to be parents. Heidi’s surprise entrance into the world at less than two pounds made me a mother two months earlier than I had planned—during finals of my final semester of college. It wasn't in my plan to juggle NICU visits and breast pumps as I finished my last few credits, but once I walked across that stage to receive my diploma eight months later, I didn’t look back.
You see, as a teenager I told everyone that I would be a lawyer one day. Or a psychologist. Or a teacher. I never told anyone that I’d be a mother. Yeah, I thought I’d be a mom, but I always assumed that my mothering would somehow fall into the cracks left from a busy career in the public eye, where I would change the world.
Never did I ever think that my whole world would revolve around six brown-haired, brown-eyed, beautiful children, one angel baby watching over us—and one blondie with blue eyes thrown in as a bonus at the end.
Never did I ever imagine how incredible my life as their mother would be—how they would teach me and change me.
One by one these little people entered my life, and one by one I learned how to mother them, mold them, and love them. I decided that it would be my life’s mission to stay home with them as only I could.
It’s so easy to lose focus and perspective while you’re deep in the trenches of full-time mothering. There’s the first diaper blowout and the first projectile vomit. There’s endless hours nursing babies and repeated readings of Are You My Mother? There’s worry over classroom placement and schoolyard bullies and broken hearts. There’s t-ball and soccer and piano and church and chores and ____________________.
Dirty faces and dirty clothes. Forgotten lunches and endangered species projects. Spelling words and “naughty” words. Sleepless nights with feverish bodies snuggled close and sleepless nights with hormonal bodies late for curfew.
You worry that your kid is disliked, or that you’re too fat, or that you don’t even know who you are anymore. You worry that you’re not reading to them enough or you’re not helping with homework enough (or am I helping too much?). You worry that they missed an assignment at school or that they lost the classroom election. You worry that you yelled at them today, that they didn’t practice the piano today, and that you didn’t bathe them before bed.
This list is all-too real, isn’t it?
As important as all of these things are each day, failing at one or more of them does not make you a failure as a mother.
Magazines, mothers-in-law, and well-meaning friends will tell you that you have to do things a certain way to be a good mother. I did read the magazines. I listened to all of the advice, but in the end, I learned a valuable lesson. I followed my heart. I made mistakes (some small, some really big that I wish I could go back and change), and in that process, I learned what was right for me and my children. No one has ever mothered my children, and no one can do it better than I can, mistakes and all.
I learned that it was better to hold the sobbing child than to try and fix the grievance. I learned that I should leave a sink full of dirty dishes until the assigned child came home from play, instead of doing them myself. I learned that making our house a home wasn’t all about the latest paint colors and latest design trends. I learned that calls from the principal aren’t necessarily the end of the world. I learned that teaching hard work is invaluable, especially in today’s society. I learned that my relationship with my child is crucial when they struggle in school. I learned that (as painful as it is to admit) mothers set the tone for the home, and my attitude toward church attendance, school work, friendships, and failures weighed more heavily on my children’s perceptions than anyone else’s ever could.
Day by day and year by year, I learned how to mother. I learned when to push and when to step back. I learned when to be Mama Bear and when to fade into the background.
It wasn’t all rainbows and picnics. I made some huge mistakes—times where I fell to my knees in prayer then cried myself to sleep with regret. At those times, I knew I had ruined my children forever. How could they ever rebound from my mistakes? Despite all of that, I’ve learned that mothering isn’t about the guilt and the mistakes. It’s about growth—measured not on a doorframe in the hallway, but in the training and experiences that mold character over months and years and decades. It’s about home—creating a place where they always feel safe and loved and accepted, no matter what is going on in the world just outside your door.
I have another secret to tell you.
Mothers aren’t raising children. At the moment he or she arrives, a baby creates a mother. And mothers?
There is this dirty secret no one tells you as you leave the hospital with your first little bundle of delicious-smelling baby in your arms: Kids grow up and become adults.
No matter how many times you read Love You Forever, you can never be fully prepared for the day that your firstborn (and your secondborn . . . and one day your lastborn) packs up their stuff and all of your shared memories, and after a quick hug, heads out that door to adulthood—laden with the thrill of independence and not a backward glance at your tearstained face and aching heart.
As much as it hurts and as much as you cry and as much as you long for just one more football game or one more concert or one more bike ride, you know that this is the day you’ve labored eighteen or so years to reach.
My second son graduated from high school in May, and my two oldest children are married now, raising families of their own. It doesn’t get easier to see them fly, but I consider my title as their mother my most treasured. I wouldn’t trade a single day at home for any six-figure salary or published book or corner office.
The most important, precious, priceless gift a mother gives her children is the selfless sacrifice—day in and day out—of her energy and her time, creating her greatest masterpieces. Now that I’m starting the next phase, grandmothering, I catch glimpses of lessons I taught my adult children when they were young. I see my grown kids struggling with the same issues, and I’m proud of the adults they’ve become. There is inexplicable delight in watching your beloved children transform into parents. Now I get to learn how to parent in-laws and spoil grandchildren, and the gift that I gave is coming full circle in the next generation of our family—and it is joyous and wonderful all over again.
For the first time in twenty-four years, I will find myself alone during the day when school resumes in August--leaving the trenches for good. My baby will be in kindergarten, and despite having four of my seven children still at home, I can’t wrap my brain around the idea that . . . I’m done with that first exhausting phase of motherhood. I’ve gone back to school to get my master’s degree in education, and although I don’t know exactly where this will take me, I’m excited to find out.
The most valuable advice I could give young moms is this—don’t waste energy wishing for these days to be over, or wishing you were somewhere else doing something “more.” As demanding as your days are, they won’t last forever. Stop and smell their handpicked flowers. Stop and see that puppy in the pet store. Stop and push that swing. Stop and read and snuggle and pray and kiss and hug. You’ll be glad you did.
As I look back along that long road through the trenches of motherhood, I know I made the right decision to stay home with them. I know that I couldn’t have been happier doing anything else, and I would do it again. And again. And again. The most profound truth I learned along the way is this: I didn’t give up myself for them. I became my true self through loving and mothering them.
You have an amazing way with words and you say so beautifully what is in so many hearts.
my favorite quote of all time is by eleanore roosevelt: "do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway." i kept thinking about that all the way through, but especially at the very end of your essay. always love your life lessons you share.
A friend on Facebook shared your blog, I've come across it a few times over the years. Your story was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wish I could convey how much it has touched me. Absolutely beautiful.

Home > Funds > Are active fund managers doomed?
This article is taken from our FREE daily investment email Money Morning.
Every day, MoneyWeek's executive editor John Stepek and guest contributors explain how current economic and political developments are affecting the markets and your wealth, and give you pointers on how you can profit.
It’s a miserable life being an active fund manager these days.
The problem is that people are starting to notice that they don’t provide value for money. Customers are flocking to cheap index funds.
Now, even politicians are getting in on the act. They’ve realised that one reason fund managers don’t hold overpaid chief executives to account is because they collect pretty chunky pay packets themselves.
So do active managers have a future? And if so, what does it look like?
Jeff Fairburn, former head of housebuilder Persimmon, may have marked “peak CEO” pay. He acquired multi-generational wealth by managing to stand in the right place at the right time when his sector was flooded with taxpayers’ money.
Whatever Fairburn got paid for, it wasn’t his talent and it wasn’t the result of competition for good executives (which are the usual nonsense excuses trotted out by people trying to pretend that this is something like a free market).
It’s because he was lucky and the people in charge of setting his pay didn’t do their job properly, because they weren’t incentivised to care all that much themselves. They at least had the good sense to step down when they realised how badly they’d messed up.
Anyway, Fairburn’s life-changing package may have had one benefit. Its extraordinarily egregious nature – and his utterly unapologetic “I’m all right Jack” attitude – has made it impossible to ignore.
Which is a good thing. Because while his pay packet stood out due to its scale, he was hardly unique in being an overpaid CEO. Most FTSE 100 CEOs are overpaid.
And last week, in between voting on exactly what kind of Brexit they want to reject next, Britain’s MPs last week managed to put out a report out condemning this level of overpayment. It contained the usual stuff you’d expect – a lot of angry bluster, some over-simplification and threats of heavy-handed government intervention.
But the core points are absolutely correct: the reason that executives get so much money is not down to a shortage of people for the job or a surfeit of talent, it’s because remuneration committees are soft touches. And it’s because the other people who are meant to hold them to account – the owners of the companies, the shareholders – are all on rather large pay packets too.
This is something that we’ve often argued in MoneyWeek: that one big reason for the executive pay problem is that fund managers don’t want to be the people to lob stones from the precarious comfort of their glass houses.
This isn’t the only headache for active fund managers right now. The industry is already under pressure from the rise of index investment (I try to avoid using the word “passive” these days, as I feel it’s a misnomer).
Investors are increasingly resistant to the idea of paying a lot of money to a human fund manager who can’t consistently do a better job than a fund that simply tracks the market.
And that’s a question that active fund managers will have to answer if they want to stay in business.
So what is the answer? To get more active.
“Activist” funds are, effectively, professional troublemakers. They target struggling or complacent companies, and try to change the management or break up the company or change specific policies in order to create value for shareholders.
Managements hate them, because they are inevitably trying to force through changes that managers don’t want. And historically, “ordinary” fund managers have either sided with management, or have strategically used activists to do their dirty work.
But increasingly, that’s no longer seen as being the best route.
According to data from Lazard, quoted in the FT, activism among “normal” fund managers (as opposed to dedicated activist funds) is rising fast. “Last year smashed records for the volume of activist activity, from the number of campaigns to the amount of money deployed”, notes the FT.
It all boils down to this: if you can’t easily beat the market, then what can you do that a computer and an administrative team can’t? What is your sustainable competitive advantage? The only answer can be to wield the power that should go with ownership far more aggressively.
The big index managers such as BlackRock and Vanguard are increasingly making noises about sustainability and responsibility and the rest of it. But given the sheer number of companies they own stakes in – and the diverse base of their own investors – that’s going to be a difficult thing to roll out in a meaningful way.
Active investors are in a much better position to set out “mission statements” and policies for acting as highly-engaged owners who hold managements to account. The thing is, that will mean they have to do a lot of things differently.
They’ll have to communicate exactly what they stand for, and they’ll probably have to take fewer and bigger stakes. And in the end, it might be too difficult. But it’s a choice between offering ordinary shareholders who actually care about this stuff more clout – or slowly being whittled away by regulation and by competition from index providers.
I’m going to start taking a look at the sector in more detail – the share prices of most fund managers have fallen hard and you have to wonder if there are attractive opportunities there. But the challenges facing them are formidable.

We don’t hand out five star awards to jackets very often, and then two come along at once. The Berghaus Vapour Storm scored top marks earlier this week, and now the Gore Alp-X 2.0 GT AS has matched it, thanks to its uncompromising attention to bike-specific detail.
The jacket is made from Gore-Tex AS (Active Shell) material, which has quickly become a favourite of those who have to ride whatever the weather and don’t want to sweat the breathability trade-off between a showerproof and a waterproof.
But no matter how good the jacket, it isn’t all just about the material. We also love the cut of the Alp-X, which is ideal in the riding position with a collar angle that’s judged to perfection. If you’re not a fan of hoods, then this one zips right off – we took to storing it in the large rear pocket.
There’s even more to like at the back of the jacket, because if the hem doesn’t dip low enough for your protection, there’s an extra drop down tail to really see off the worst of the winter mud; for tall testers this was an especially well-used feature.
We do find the waterproof zips a bit firm – it doesn’t feel like you can wrench them around, but this jacket is made for riding, and riding a long way, in waterproof comfort.
We won’t pretend it’s cheap (and the Berghaus Vapour Storm isn’t either), but if you’re serious about riding and willing to invest in quality, you won’t find much wrong with the Alp-X.

In many ways, the 2005 International CES will revisit strong themes in video technologies that were evident a year ago.
The industry continues to witness a major expansion in flat-panel TV companies (both LCD and plasma), as established players adjust and expand lines and screen-size selections. This year is expected to bring a broad range for LCD and plasma TVs featuring fully integrated ATSC tuning, digital CableCARD capability and entry price points that are moving closer and closer to mainstream markets.
This year, most products in screen sizes 30W-inches and over will also incorporate digital ATSC tuners to keep pace with the Federal Communications Commission's DTV tuner mandate. However, in order to go after a more affordable price point, some vendors have elected to leave out analog tuning in order to avoid having to comply with the digital tuner mandate.
Also look for more of the high-end panels to offer 1920 by 1080p (one of the highest high-definition levels available) native resolution as manufacturers begin to seed the market with displays that will be able to maximize the full capability of next generation high-definition optical discs.
Although HD DVD and Blu-ray decks and players aren't expected to reach market until late in 2005 or 2006, they will be capable of emitting 1080p signals, if hollywood studios, as expected, elect to encode discs with that capability.
On the next-generation optical disc front, CES is expected to be a battleground for a brewing format war, which was touched off in the days preceding the show, when hollywood studios split the market by lining up behind one of the two systems.
Another hot television segment to be showcased at CES will come from more makes and models of micro-device-based rear-projection HDTVs, with emphasis on smaller, more elegantly styled cabinets.
Texas Instruments will again showcase the large stable of manufacturer partners who have implemented its Digital Micromirror Devices in new rear- and front-projection TVs, but a few surprises were expected to come from new players adding Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) displays, and perhaps rejuvenating a technology that has been bloodied by recent defections.
New designs in trusty CRT-tube sets were slated to emerge from several players. These improvements promise significantly slimmed-down cabinet depths that give consumers less-expensive options to flat-panel TVs.
At the same time, manufacturers looking ahead to the next phase of the tuner mandate are preparing to offer conventional analog standard-definition (480i) TV displays with built-in ATSC tuning, establishing a new entry point for DTV adoption.
Another trend at the show will come from an onslaught of personal multimedia players (PMPs), which offer video enthusiasts the convenience that ignited popular music-only iPod players.
Also watch for new broadband video delivery services to make appearances, offering convenient new video downloading options, which will soon be applied to the aforementioned PMPs and other devices.

The Ministry of Police (M.O.P.) spent more than $100,000 on vehicle repairs between 2012 and 2016.
This is according to the Samoa Audit Office Report on Irregularities presented to Parliament.
The Ministry recorded the highest number of irregularity reports, with the bulk of them involving car crashes and damaged vehicles.
Asked for a comment, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Finance, Lavea Tupa'imatuna Lavea, said there is an explanation for this.
“In their line of work, they are exposed to so many risks hence they have the most irregularity reports in all of Government,” he said.
“Put it this way, when they respond to calls, when they’re are on the road all the time, the chances of the vehicles being damaged is very high.
“If you are hanging out at Mulinu’u and something happens, who do you call for help, the Police? And so when they respond there is a chance their vehicle may get stoned by people upon arrival.
“Look at what happened in Lutuanu’u.
For the 2012-2013, 21 irregularities reports of Police vehicles and funds spent range from $250 to $3,805 for repair. One reported on 12 September 2013.
“The Police officer used the vehicle for personal matters without authorisation, at the time of the incident.
“He hit the rear right side of a private vehicle and damaged the left front fender, front bumper and head light of POL34. The vehicle is insured at Progressive Insurance. The Police officer has privately paid for the cost of damages to the private vehicle.
“Ministry of Finance (M.O.F.) recommended that a proper authorisation should be made to authorise officers to drive the Ministry’s vehicle.
“The driver should be warned for using the vehicle unauthorized and for not exercising due care in handling government properties. The Ministry will pay for the full cost $3,805 of repair but the driver will recover it by deducting $50 from his salary per fortnight. The Ministry should document an official vehicle use policy and conduct a training for all officers including the penalties and consequences of unauthorized use of vehicles,” says the report.
direction and came close to the police vehicle with an open back door, scratched the right rear side of the police vehicle. The vehicle was insured.
Another case was damages to a Police motorcycle back in 2014 where an estimated amounted of $500 for parts and repairs.
“This was reported on 3 March 2015, almost 10 months after the accident. Due to the rain, the motorcycle slipped and crashed off the side of the road when the officer reached the four corners at Matatufu, causing damages to the steering wheel and front side. POL24 was insured and the insurance provider will cover cost of damages.
“Action taken M.O.F. recommended that the Ministry should pay the excess fee, with the driver to recover the total costs through payroll deduction of $30 fortnightly until the full amount is recovered.
Around 17 October 2014, $3,600 was allocated for damages to POL52.
This was reported on 18 November 2014, a month after the accident. “Damages to POL52 were caused by a horse running directly to the moving vehicle and into the front which caused damages to left headlight, left fender, bonnet and left side of the vehicle.
“POL52 was insured and the insurance provider will pay for damages with an excess amount of $500 to be paid by POL.
Another case damages to vehicle POL29 on 14 November 2014 for parts and repairs was estimated at $1,000.
“This was reported on 17 November 2014. The vehicle went around the town clock heading to Matautu when a bus hit its rear left side and caused a dent.
Another case of damages to government vehicle POL47 was on 26 February 2015 where $4,439 was for vehicle parts and repairs.
“This was reported on 13 April 2015, 32 days after the accident. POL47 was driven by the designated driver, travelling from Alafua to Faleasiu to drop off the late shift at around 11.30 pm. On his return, a pig immediately crossed over the road at Saleimoa, colliding with the vehicle POL47, hitting the side of the bumper leaving the vehicle with damages. POL47 is insured.

A list of the different game items and their functions.
kiki the nanobot is a 3-D puzzle game. It is basically a mixture of the games Sokoban and Kula-World. The following objects may be moved by kiki, a mutant bot or a bomb splitter: Stones Gears Generators Bots Bombs (moveable by bots only, they will explode on splitter impact) Actually, the pushing/falling rule is a little bit more complex than described in the stone section: If an object is moved by a bot and nothing is below it's new position, it will fall down. The falling direction (gravity) is defined by the pushing bot itself, it may fall in different directions if pushed from different perspectives! If a bot is moved by a bomb splitter and nothing is below it's new position, it will fall down (with 'down' being defined by the pushed bot's current orientation). Any other object pushed by a bomb splitter won't fall in any direction. It will simply be pushed until it hits an obstacle.

Formerly known as "Last Rites" or "Extreme Unction", the Anointing of the Sick is one of the three repeatable Sacraments in the Catholic Church. The proper time for receiving this holy anointing has arrived when the believer begins to be in danger of death becasue of illness or old age. Each time a Christian falls seriously ill, they may receive the Anointing of the Sick, and after they have received it, if the illness worsens.
Before surgery, or a serious medical precedure.
The Anointing of the Sick is a prayer of healing, not only for our physical healing, but also for spiritual health, and for the strength, peace, and courage to bear the burden of illness.
The Anointing of the Sick also imparts the forgiveness of sins, and therefore can only be administered by a priest or bishop.

Tired of only being able to ride your bike 90 miles with the original 2.2 gallon tank? With this fuel tank kit, you can ride 150 miles before the fuel warning light illuminates! The kit includes a 5 gallon MH900e endurance fuel tank, replacement air filters, new o-rings, hose clamps, metal fuel fittings and a full color eight page installation handbook.
The MH900e fuel tank kit has another option popular with enthusiasts which sacrifices a little fuel capacity to mount a standard Ducati Yuasa YT12B-BS battery behind the headstock of the motorcycle, hiding the unsightly battery boxes. Known as the MH900e "Battery Tank Kit," this model brings the appearance of the MH900e closer to the stunning original design by Pierre Terblanche. Both variants of the MH900e Fuel Tank Kit retail for $899, and have a lifetime warranty. Neither kits require permanent alterations to the MH900e.

"The Abominable Dr. Phibes" (1971) starring Vincent Price, Joseph Cotten & Hugh Griffith is about a disfigured doctor / scientist that is out for deadly revenge on the 7 doctors that failed to save his wife.
Dr. Phibes (Price) is a doctor and mad scientist that is terribly disfigured after an automobile accident which caused his beloved wife to die. He lives in an art deco styled house and keeps himself entertained by playing his organ along with his strange looking orchestra and his beautiful and silent assistant Vulnavia (Virginia North) and performs lavish musical dance routines much like a weird Broadway musical! When not applying his fake face and entertaining himself in his visually stunning home in over the top outfits, he is planning and carrying out the tragic deaths of the team of incompetent doctors that failed to save his wife's life.
Dr. Phibes is very creative in making the deaths follow the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Old Testament, including death by bees, bats, locusts and much more. The Scotland Yard inspector who is investigating all the murders adds a comic touch to the horror of this film.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie! It is visually stunning and a feast for the eyes! The story is inventive and the characters are engaging. This is now probably my favorite Vincent Price horror film!
