Good Carbs For Weight Control
Good carbs will result in better weight control. Thus the type of carb matters more than how much of it you eat, recent research indicate. Call it the victory of broccoli over white bread, or lentils over linguine; carbs with a lower glycemic index ('good carbs') were kinder to weight than those with a high glycemic index ('bad carbs').
Glycemic index is an indicator of how quickly a food affects blood sugar levels. Foods with a high glycemic index tend to be starchy, sugary, or refined and stripped of some of their natural goodness; they're often "empty" calories.
Low-glycemic-index foods usually have more fiber and nutrients. For instance, french fries have a higher glycemic index than grapefruit. Cakes and cookies have an extra-ordinarilly high glycemic index compared to spinach.
Is Glycemic Index the Key to Weight Loss?In a recent study researchers looked at what the participants ate; how much they worked out; and their body mass index (BMI) - a measure of total body fat. BMI is used to assess heart disease risk. Higher BMIs were associated with diets that had higher glycemic index foods.
Daily carbohydrate intake and percentage of calories from carbohydrates didn't matter. The study indicates that the type of carbohydrate, measured by glycemic index, was what counted. Short-term weight loss studies have confirmed the above result, but the long-term effect of glycemic index and total carbohydrates on body weight is currently unknown.
The finding is consistent with the idea that foods with a higher glycemic index trigger more insulin production and more fat storage, say the researchers. However, they don't endorse cutting all carbohydrates or focusing on glycemic load for weight loss. Instead, glycemic index was most important, say the scientists, who cautioned the need for more research.
Finding Foods' Glycemic IndexThe glycemic index of various foods is listed online, but it's not required on food labels. A low glycemic index is considered to be 55 or less. The medium range falls from 56 to 69. High glycemic index is 70 or higher.
However, when it comes to the glycemic index of a particular food many factors come into play. For example, what else was eaten with the food and other components of a food including the amount of proteins and fats, as well as, how a food was prepared often alters the index. Generally, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains have lower glycemic indices than processed or refined items.
It might help to expand our definition of carbohydrates. Bread, pasta, rice, cereals, sweets, and grains don't have the market cornered; fruits, vegetables, and legumes also contain carbohydrates, and they may be the type to favor, along with fiber-rich whole grains.
If you're watching your weight, don't forget about calories. You'll still need to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. Exercise will help with that part of the equation.

Kim Kardashian says North West doesn't like her brother Saint, and it's adorably sad
Sometimes siblings just don't get along — even when they've got a lot to bond over. Like being in the spotlight. Filling in for Kelly Ripa on Live! With Kelly and Ryan, Kim Kardashian admitted that North West doesn't like Saint. Which is a shame, because what's not to love?
Kardashian opening up about the tough sibling relationship is actually pretty refreshing. Mostly because it's a topic that not many people discuss.
While the two don't have a big gap in age (North is four, and Saint is 20 months old) it's a little apparent that North would have had no problem being an only child — which is incredibly different from Kardashian's feelings about her siblings.
Kardashian also admitted that North often holds events in which no boys are allowed — and yes, that includes dad Kanye West.
Based on her story, it seems like while North isn't a big fan of Saint, the same can't be said in reverse. Kardashian added that Saint often likes to imitate his big sister (aw), which sometimes can be a little tough to handle.
Sibling rivalry aside, we love the fact that Kardashian was such a natural on air. In fact, Seacrest even let her talk about her terrifying Paris robbery.
While we definitely missed Ripa, we think that Kim Kardashian was kind of an incredible temporary replacement.

This next two weeks at SONTLive we will be releasing a team by team analysis of the upcoming NFL Draft. Two members of our team Simon Villanoz & Kodey Stauffer (links to their twitter is on their name) teamed up together to make this happen.
AFC North
Cleveland Browns:
- Saquon Barkley(1) RB out of Penn State
- Minkah Fitzpatrick (4) DB out of Alabama
- Isiah Oliver (33) CB out of Colorado
- Calvin Ridley (35) WR out of Alabama
- Bradley Bozeman (63) C out of Alabama
- Lorenzo Carter (65) OLB out of Georgia
- Tony Brown (97) CB out of Alabama
- Shaun Dion Hamilton (119) MLB out of Alabama
- Chad Thomas (129) DE out of Miami
- Ryan Nall (150) FB out of Oregon State
- Shaquem Griffin (161) OLB out of UCF
- Johnny Townsend (193) P out of Florida
The Cleveland Browns have won just a single game in the past two seasons. From what I've seen they have been in a lot of close games, and simply could not finish. Saquon Barkley will be the finisher on the offensive side of the ball, while Minkah Fitzpatrick will be the finisher on defense. The main thing I tried to focus on when drafting for the Browns was picking best player available, because at this point the Browns can use all the help they could get. Besides Calvin Ridley and Bradley Bozeman (who I believe could be potential steals in this mock draft) I did go defensive heavy when drafting. Offensively I think the Browns can get by with weapons like Josh Gordon, David Njoku, Corey Coleman, and a decent offensive line. It will just take time for them to put it together on that side of the ball. Defensively I think the Browns should work on just building a juggernaut defense by drafting both to fill positions and for depth. In real life, I believe the Browns can shock the NFL if they draft based like this.
Cincinnati Bengals:
- Billy Price (12) C out of Ohio State
- Trenton Thompson (46) DT out of Georgia
- Martinas Rankin (77) OT out of Mississippi State
- Wyatt Teller (108) OG out of Virginia Tech
- Azeem Victor (142) MLB out of Washington
- Bentley Spain (173) OT out of North Carolina
- Nic Shimonek (204) QB out of Texas Tech
- Michael Dickson (222) P out of Texas
The Cincinnati Bengals took an L this last season, and everyone saw it coming. You need a competent offensive line to be successful in the NFL, and the Bengals did not have that. They have great weapons on the offensive side of the ball who have the potential of making them the number one offense in the NFL. Defensively they can get by with what they have, but there's a reason I drafted almost an entirely new offensive line with their picks. Billy Price should help shore up that offensive line along with other solid picks. Look out for the Washington product Azeem Victor though. He was a player a lot of scouts liked last season, but seemingly fell off a bit this last season. Victor is a big linebacker, but it appeared he lost the elite speed that made him special. Don't be surprised if he bounces back and becomes a big time contributor on defense.
Baltimore Ravens:
- Mark Andrews (16) TE out of Oklahoma
- Sony Michel (52) RB out of Georgia
- Dante Pettis (83) WR out of Washington
- Damon Webb (114) S out of Ohio State
- Davin Bellamy (145) OLB out of Georgia
- Keishawn Bierra (176) MLB out of Washington
- Dane Cruishank (212) CB out of Arizona
Not even going to lie, I love the first three picks for the Ravens right here. Mark Andrews can be an elite pass catcher in the NFL, while Sony Michel can give them their best running back since Ray Rice. The speedy receiver in Dante Pettis is also a great value pick in the third round. Defensively the Ravens are always pretty good, but as of late it's the offense that has been mediocre. I truly believe that these additions alone could elevate the Ravens to that next level, which is making the playoffs. Once they get there, they are always a dangerous team to look out for.
Pittsburgh Steelers:
- Tremaine Edmunds (28) MLB out of Virginia Tech
- Connor Williams (60) OT out of Texas
- Holton Hill (92) CB out of Texas
- Bo Scarborough (139) RB out of Alabama
- J. Stewart (156) CB out of North Carolina
- Sione Teuhema (188) OLB/DE out of Southwestern Louisiana
- T. Barrett (220) QB out of Ohio State
Coming off a widely disappointing season for the team, here are the Steelers. They were a team that had the potential of going all the way, but defensively they just couldn't make the stops when it counted in the playoffs. Losing Ryan Shazier was a gigantic blow to the Steelers, because they lost a guy who was the heart and soul of that defense. The future for Shazier as a football player for the Steelers is murky, so filling that middle linebacker spot is an absolute need. That was fulfilled with the Tremaine Edmunds pick. Connor Williams is a steal in the 2nd round if he's still there, and the Steelers can use a guy in Williams to stash for the future. Bo Scarborough, the Alabama product could be a good pick considering James Connor tore his ACL and nobody knows how that may turn out. J.T. Barrett is probably the most interesting pick in my opinion. He has talent, but his consistency has been wildy everywhere. It wouldn't hurt to bring him in though, and compete against Dobbs or Landry Jones. He may be a steal for the Steelers, if he pans out.
Stay tuned tomorrow we will be releasing the NFC North team by team mock draft.

First REIT 1Q DPU up, buoyed by latest acquisition
SINGAPORE – 17 April 2017 – Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited ("Bowsprit"), the Manager of First Real Estate Investment Trust ("First REIT" or the "Trust"), began first quarter ended 31 March 2017 ("1Q 2017") on a strong footing with record distribution per unit ("DPU") of 2.14 Singapore cents, up from 2.11 Singapore cents in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year ("1Q 2016"). Based on annualised DPU of 8.68 Singapore cents and closing price of S$1.31 as at 31 March 2017, the latest distribution translated to a yield of 6.6%.
"The 1.4% growth in 1Q DPU was achieved on the back of the full quarter's rental income contribution from Siloam Hospitals Labuan Bajo ("SHLB"), which was acquired in December 2016. This is our 11th consecutive quarter of DPU growth since 2Q 2014, a testament of our well-tested strategy of acquiring yield-accretive assets. In FY 2017, we will continue to reinforce this strategy to maximise returns to our Unitholders," said Dr Ronnie Tan, Bowsprit's Chief Executive Officer.
Distributable income for the quarter was S$16.6 million, up 2.4% from S$16.2 million in 1Q 2016. Both the gross revenue and net property income ("NPI") increased at the same 2.5% to S$27.2 million and S$26.9 million respectively.
As at 31 March 2017, First REIT's gearing ratio was 31.0%, with an interest cover of 5.7 times. To mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations, about 90.9% of the Trust's borrowings are on a fixed rate basis.
Key highlights and significant achievements in 1Q 2017
- DPU up 1.4% to 2.14 Singapore cents compared to 2.11 Singapore cents in 1Q 2016
- Distribution to Unitholders rose 2.4% to S$16.6 million compared to S$16.2 million in 1Q 2016
- Issued 2,699,321 new units at an issue price of S$1.2559 per new Unit to eligible Unitholders who have elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan ("DRP") for 4Q 2016Outlook
- Indonesia remains First REIT's key focal market for growth, especially with the expanding pipeline of over 40 hospitals from its Sponsor, PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk, for acquisition. Southeast Asia's largest economy, Indonesia's gross domestic product grew 5.02% in 2016, an improvement from 4.88% in 2015[1]. For 2017, International Monetary Fund is forecasting a growth of 5.1%[2], driven by government's reforms and infrastructure developments. Meanwhile, the healthcare sector remains supported by the ongoing national health insurance scheme, which now allows more affluent Indonesians to supplement coverage under the scheme with private health insurance, lending further weight to private healthcare spending.

Society's perception of a Warrior is stoic, aggressive, & masculine. However, a more wholistic look at the Warrior as both archetype and 'way of life' reveals a different picture, one that involves honour, courage, determination, and above all, self-mastery.
Ultimately, the Warrior is a path of self-motivation, self-knowledge, self-control... a path that looks inward rather than out.
So in modern society, are we wrong to dismiss the importance of the Warrior as a helpful archetype, and as a relevant 'way of life'?

Each semester the American Marketing Association selects one local company and offers them free marketing consultation.
Last semester the American Marketing Association worked with the New Mandarin Garden in Farmington Hills to make recommendations for their upcoming website refresh and social media accounts. The owner, Jerry Che currently employs an agency in California to run the restaurant's social media, was interested to see what recommendations the students had for improving his web presence.
Students presented their findings on April 3, including ways to streamline and give a more professional appearance to the website and social media pages. In addition, they made recommendations to raise awareness of the restaurant's bar, shared ideas on how to engage his current followers on social media and suggested ways increase sales during the slower days of the week.
In past semesters, the American Marketing Association has worked with companies such as Breakfast of Champs and Cheat Treats in Dearborn. Companies interested in working with this student organization can reach out to them directly for more information.

Pamela Gaylord They'll thank you in their 50's for all of the sun they were exposed to. Sorry to be a Debby downer but I regret all of it I absorbed as a little kid running up and down the sandy river bank every summer, sunup to sundown in just a swimsuit, oh and we always had a life vest on, Mom couldn't swim.
Simran Gond Super cute and very clever Mila.. Your videos are awesome it males my day.
Melanie Marrandino Roach Thank you for taking her to a piercing professional instead of a high school drop out at Clairs with a plastic gun!
Jerry Rojas Now we know Mila's next video is going to be about! Like I went to get my ear pierced and this guy like put this needle in and I was like, What are you doing dude. hahahahaha love Mila Stauffer Videos
Linny Shipman I worked at Claire's. So glad you didn't take them there. We watched a 15 min video and that's it. Guns rip through the ear. Needles scoop out the skin. Less infection and it's just all around better
LisaLee Irwin Mila I'm 57 back in my day when I had mine done I was a teenager and I did them myself with ice cubes and a sewing needle and I sterilized it froze my earlobes and stuck the needle in there and I did double piercings on each side. Amazingly they came out even and I still have them. You were a big Trooper to get that done.
Lori Martin Medicinebird I remember taking my 16 yr to get her belly button pierced. We went to a tattoo shop. Their standards are actually quite high for sterility . I asked to see all their books and she showed me without hesitation . It was a positive experience . Congrats on getting your ears pierced Mila. Sister is so cute giving moral support
Kiley James Champagne A Mom who knows her stuff. Always go to a professional piercer at a tattoo shop and not your local Walmart or Claire's! Using a piercing gun forces the earring through by pushing away the skin causing excessive pain and a longer healing time. Going to a professional piercer at a tattoo shop is better. This is the reason. He will use a hollowed-out sharp needle that will take out the piece of skin where the earring will go. This will cause faster healing and less pain. Do your research.
Chris Mackay I read an article that explained tattoo parlors where piercing was offered was far superior to the old "store in the mall" type of place. The parlors are regulated and inspected, the equipment is sterilized and the person doing the piercing is typically a piercer first, not a store clerk
Renée Vogler I took my daughter to Claire's and both times her ears got infected. To make matters worse, the second time the earring bent when they were using the gun to shoot it in her ear and they had to pull it out. Several years later we went to a tattoo place and got them done. She has had zero issues. The tattoo shop was so clean and they used gloves and had the same big pads they use in the hospital to lay their tools on. They also sanitized the heck out of everything. She did say it hurt like hell but there was no blood at all and we have never had an issue! love her T- shirts
Ann Schindler Had my ears pierced first weekend in may 2018 at claires in woodbury mn and they did a great job…. following instructions to put on the sanitizer they gave me 3 times a day and turning them. absolutely no issues at all
Rita Payne Howard I love her look at the guy piercing her ear…and sister love she's getting. And that you took her to where you felt was right. Didn't matter if it was Claries, tattoo artist/pericer or did it yourself at home. You're their mom. Super cute! really love Mila Stauffer Videos

HMRC updated guidance on phishing scams
HMRC genuine and phishing/bogus emails and calls
HMRC have issued an update of their guidance on how to recognise genuine HMRC contact be it via email or text.
They have also issued a warning regarding two telephone scams that they are aware of.
The details of the two phone scams are as follows:
- Taxpayers receive telephone calls claiming to be from HMRC requesting personal information in order to receive a tax refund, or to demand money for an unpaid tax bill.
- A recorded message is left, allegedly from HMRC, advising 'that HMRC are bringing a lawsuit against the individual and is going to sue them. The recipient is asked to phone 0161 8508494 and press "1" to speak to the officer dealing with the case.
HMRC are advising that taxpayers should not reply to the message and should report this to Action Fraud, or you can call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2050.

From 2 November 2015 HMRC will be sending out emails to customers inviting them to trial the new Inheritance Tax online private beta service. Customers will be asked to use the Government Gateway and will need to have previously registered for self-assessment tax returns with HMRC before applying.
Only customers who have already had contact with the Inheritance Tax and Probate helpline and have agreed to take part in the pilot will be sent this email.
These emails will not ask you for any personal or financial information.
1.8 VAT emails
1.8.1 VAT Returns – email reminders
HMRC will send an email to customers to remind them when their VAT return is due if they have registered to receive email reminders. The emails are entitled 'Reminder to file your VAT Return' and contain links to a further information page and a link to the sign in page on GOV.UK. These emails will never ask you to provide personal or financial information.
1.8.2 VAT registration – email
HMRC will send an email to customers who have registered for VAT using HMRC online services. HMRC will use the email address customers have provided to advise that they need to log into their online tax account in order to view a message in the secure messaging area. These emails will never ask you to provide personal or financial information.
1.8.3 VAT debts – email reminders
HMRC may send an email to customers who are overdue with VAT payments. HMRC will use email addresses that customers have already provided and will recommend that customers pay online to avoid further action. These emails will never ask you to provide personal or financial information. You will not be able to reply to the emails, which will be sent from email@example.com.
2.How to tell if an email is fraudulent
As well as spelling mistakes and poor grammar, there are a number of things you can look out for to help you recognise a phishing/bogus email.
2.1 Incorrect 'From' address
Look out for a sender's email address that is similar to, but not the same as, HMRC's email addresses. Fraudsters often have email accounts with HMRC or revenue names in them (such as 'email@example.com'). These email addresses are used to mislead you.
However be aware, fraudsters can falsify (spoof) the 'from' address to look like a legitimate HMRC address (for example '@hmrc.gov.uk').
If you're not 100% sure that the message has come from us don't open it. If you do open the email and you're in doubt don't click on any links or downloads.
Examples of phishing and bogus emails
2.2 Personal information
Emails from HMRC will never:
- notify you of a tax rebate
- offer you a repayment
- ask you to disclose personal information such as your full address, postcode, Unique Taxpayer Reference or details of your bank account
- give a non HMRC personal email address to send a response to
- ask for financial information such as specific figures or tax computations, unless you've given us prior consent and you have formally accepted the risks
- have attachments, unless you have given prior consent and you have formally accepted the risks
- provide a link to a secure log-in page or a form asking for information – instead we will ask you to log on to your online account to check for information
2.3 Urgent action required
Fraudsters ask for immediate action. Be wary of emails containing phrases like 'you only have 3 days to reply' or 'urgent action required'.
2.4 Bogus websites
Fraudsters often include links to webpages that look like the homepage of the HMRCwebsite. This is to trick you into disclosing personal/confidential information. Just because the page may look genuine, does not mean it is. Bogus webpages often contain links to banks/building societies, or display fields and boxes requesting your personal information such as passwords, credit card or bank account details.
You should be aware that fraudsters sometimes include genuine links to HMRC web pages in their emails, this is to try and make their emails appear genuine.
2.5 Common greeting
Fraudsters often send high volumes of phishing emails in one go so even though they may have your email address, they seldom have your name. Be cautious of emails sent with a generic greeting such as 'Dear Customer'. Emails from HMRC will always:
- use the name you've provided to us
- include information on how to report phishing emails to HMRC
2.6 Attachments
Be cautious of attachments as these could contain viruses designed to steal your personal information.
3.HMRC SMS Text Messages
3.1 SMS text message – activating 2-Step Verification
2-Step Verification is an additional security feature which helps to prevent someone else from accessing a customer's digital account, even if they have their User ID and password. When activating 2-Step Verification, HMRC will send an access code via SMSto the customers' nominated mobile phone number, which the customer will need to complete the set-up. These SMS messages will never ask the customer to provide personal or financial information.
This means that once customers have activated 2-Step Verification, the only way to access the account will be with the Government Gateway user ID, Password and access to the phone which has been registered.
HMRC is planning ways of increasing the number of users who can benefit from 2-Step Verification.
3.2 SMS Text Message – 2-Step Verification for future log-ins
After activating 2-Step Verification, each time the customer logs in, HMRC will send an access code via SMS to the registered mobile phone number, which will be needed to complete the log-in process. These SMS Messages will never ask the customer to provide personal or financial information.
If a customer no longer has access to the mobile phone registered for 2-Step Verification, they will need to ring the Online Services Helpdesk and verify their identity to deactivate it. The customer can then register their new mobile number for 2-Step Verification when they log in the next time.
3.3 Tax credits – SMS text or voice prompts
HMRC is contacting some tax credit customers by SMS and voice message asking them to update or confirm their circumstances if the details they hold (ie income or working hours) differ from the information shown on their employer records.
Tax credit customers who send in their renewal or a new claim will receive an SMS text message confirming that HMRC has received their claim or renewal and estimated processing times. Customers may also receive an SMS text message to remind them to renew their tax credits claim. These reminder messages will only direct them to the GOV.UK website to renew their claims online. These messages will not request any personal or financial information.
Tax credit customers who report a change in their circumstances using the online service may receive an SMS text message confirming that HMRC has received and processed their change. These messages will not request any personal or financial information.

Topic: Cathartics
In medicine, a cathartic is a substance that accelerates defecation. This is in contrast to a laxative, which is a substance which eases defecation, usually by softening feces. It is possible for a substance to be both a laxative and a cathartic. However, agents such as psyllium seed husks increase the bulk of the feces. Cathartics such as sorbitol, magnesium citrate, magnesium sulfate, or sodium sulfate were previously used as a form of gastrointestinal decontamination following poisoning via ingestion. They are no longer routinely recommended for poisonings. High-dose cathartics may be an effective means of ridding the lower gastrointestinal tract of toxins; however, they carry a risk of electrolyte imbalances and dehydration. During the 1918 flu pandemic, cathartics were used in the Fort Lewis, WA, area. An original report by Elizabeth J. Davies, a public health nurse, mentions cathartics, pneumonia jackets and copious amount of drinks as treatments for influenza...

Eaton Vance, the Boston-headquartered multi-affiliate group, led by CEO Thomas Faust, has placed greater globalisation at the heart of its strategy. As Kurtosys met with business development director – financial institutions David Miles, he told us they may well be the biggest asset manager the European funds industry has never heard of, about the growing importance of tailored separately managed accounts and how AI is helping power its research capability.
Eaton Vance could be described as hiding its light under a bushel, particularly in the UK and Europe. For anyone who is not familiar with the business, can you give an overview?
I admit in the UK and Europe, the brand of Eaton Vance isn't quite as high profile as some of the other big asset managers out there. However, we have just shy of $500bn (£388bn) in assets under management (AUM). It might sound like a bit of a cliché, but you could almost say, to some European investors, we might be one of the biggest asset managers you've never heard of, but that is changing.
The business can trace its roots back to 1924. Our headquarters are in Boston, with our international head office in London.
Our CEO Thomas Faust has been talking about the increasing importance of globalisation of the business for a number of years now as one of the key strategic initiatives he is focusing on. We now have more than 50 people based in London and have also grown the presence across other parts of the world, including offices in Europe and in Asia.
Our affiliate model includes Eaton Vance Management, Parametric, Atlanta Capital, Hexavest and most recently Calvert.
Tell me a little more about Eaton Vance and each of the affiliates, just a brief summary.
We work on an intermediated model, so we are not trying to market our products direct to the end consumer. We have great relationships with many of the big wire houses and financial advisor organisations in the US, which is something we have been building on in Europe.
We know 'cheap beta' is everywhere; we are striving to deliver what we refer to as advanced investment solutions, targeting a market of forward-thinking investors, which could mean different things depending on where you are. In the US, for instance, we've built a substantial business in tax-managed strategies.
If investors are looking for income, growth or asset protection, we have many strategies that we believe can help the lives of our clients.
- Eaton Vance Management (EVM) and Parametric make up a substantial part of the $490bn AUM.
- EVM is a fundamental, active investor with fund offerings in income, equities and alternatives.
- Parametric is much more a systematic and quantitative manager, delivering clients customisable strategies with a high degree of transparency.
- Atlanta Capital is an Atlanta-based specialist in US equity and fixed income, focused very much on quality companies, with a particularly strong track record in US small- and mid-cap equity investing.
- Hexavest is based in Montreal, Canada, and takes the unusual approach of managing equities on a top-down basis.
- Calvert is a business that we acquired at the end of 2016. It is a US-based asset management business and a leader in responsible investments whose roots date back about 40 years.
If some of the pros of a multi-affiliate, multi-brand outfit is that you have a broader, yet specialist, offering, what might some of the challenges be?
I think for an external party, there can be perceived complexity around understanding the different parts of the multi-affiliate business. Our five affiliates are trying to deliver different approaches to investment management. So, if I go and speak to a client and if – in very simplistic terms – they have a greater lean towards responsible investing, it may be a more obvious conversation to talk to them about Calvert.
If they have a greater leaning to more systematic investing, obviously a Parametric conversation might be more appropriate.
But I think we have an advantage versus a waterfront provider of different approaches. For instance, if you are an asset management business that has both passive and active management capabilities under the one roof, are those capabilities in direct competition with each other?
We offer true diversification not only in the strategies we offer, but in the investment approach behind them. When we talk to clients, we can quickly convey our offering, and how the benefits of the multi-affiliate approach make sense.
What challenges do you see facing the asset management industry at the moment?
For a start, I think the traditional assumptions of asset allocation. If you look at what an investor may have expected to receive from different asset classes over the last 10 years since the financial crisis, versus its preceding 15 or 20 years, and then look where we are today in the world of low and in some cases negative-yielding assets from governments, I think investors need to challenge many of those assumptions when they think about how they plan to achieve their returns, ultimately for a happy retirement.
Estimations about the length of the cycle have been pushed out, and if you add in quantitative easing etc, the returns from what would have been traditionally risk-free assets are not the same as they would have been for those investing in the 25 years running up to the financial crisis.
People often talk about the 'stretch for yield' which I think sounds like a pejorative term, but I believe that new assumptions need to be made. Asset classes that may have traditionally been more niche or esoteric could well become more mainstream and the beneficiaries of greater interest from investors in the coming years.
Elsewhere, trust is a huge challenge, certainly for the UK market, where this year we've seen a number of different reasons for the man on the street, and even the more articulate financial adviser or wealth manager to say, 'I have concerns about the liquidity', for example.
This feeds into things like regulatory concern, so there's been lots of press discussion at least about whether we need to consider how UCITS funds work in the future. What kind of assets should go into them?
Remember three years ago, when the Brexit vote happened, obviously that caused a period of difficulty for commercial property funds.
What can the industry do to regain some of that trust?
It has a lot of work to do, but there are some great organisations out there already helping to do that. Think of City Hive, which is helping build the conversation about inclusivity and diversity in the City, moving it away from the somewhat Victorian male-dominated environment it may have been for the last hundred years.
I think that makes the industry much more relevant and approachable to the external parties that look at it.
There is also – and I know lots of others who are involved with – the Investment20/20 organisation, which is trying to give access to the industry via less traditional routes, such as the one-time typically 'right' kind of school or college. I think all that will make us more appealing and relevant as a sector.
You mentioned at the start about being more forward-looking. How are emerging technologies being used across the business, either at Parametric or the broader group?
We operate programmes with Parametric we call PIOS (Policy Implementation and Overlay Services) and CPM (Centralised Portfolio Management). Essentially, we offer a solution to third parties where Parametric looks at their total business, and for example, if they have a degree of exposure to European equities but they are uncomfortable with the level of currency exposure, we could offer a currency overlay solution to hedge out that risk.
The CPM means Parametric can combine the inputs from various strategies into a centralised single account for simpler implementation. So, if you are XYZ multi-asset investor, and your portfolios consist of four different underlying asset management solutions from different companies, Parametric can work with those managers, get their holdings information and replicate those four portfolios directly for the customer. Some of the benefits include the reduction of transaction costs, reduction of overall fees and smoother portfolio implementation.

I was able to try out the openssl command to check the cryptographic algorithm speed without cryptodev . I tried to enable few modules in kernel but could not find which exactly generates the cryptodev.ko file.
Whether the cryptodev is part of kernel ? Or I have to download the cryptodev source code separately. I tried in this way, but cross-compilng was throwing error.

While expecting an indefinite US presence in Syria was unrealistic as part of bargaining for a homeland, the Kurdish forces are right in feeling the sting of yet another historical abandonment. They have been more than useful fighters, a point that is also held against them. The question now is how bloody this next chapter will prove for them.
The attack, and the travel advisories it prompted, was disquieting: I'd visited El Paso before, had driven from there all along the Mexican border to the remote artists' refuge of Marfa. Now I was about to embark on a journey through New Mexico, and onwards through a different part of Texas. I'd never relied on travel advisories before.
Every effort should be made to keep Australia out of yet another US war overseas, especially against China. If such a war resulted, the US Marines in Darwin would draw fire on the Northern Territory. For Australia's peace and security, we need to see an end to the stationing of Marines in Darwin and an end to war rehearsals with the United States.
To what extent has society reacted to the deaths of these two children? Awareness stops with the available imagery. Drowned children on western shores are processed differently in our psyche to the children killed in drone attacks, their absence of identity compounded by statistics which dissociate humanity from numbers.
The globe is being split into two, with Australia nervously sitting between the two sides: America and China. At least we have a trade deficit with America so are not an immediate target. But we might want to consider becoming more self-sufficient and broadening our industrial base.
No security measures will ever be able to suppress inclinations to hatred or violence which grow in the depths of the human heart. And yet there is a difference between Colombo and Christchurch which might be worth exploring. Paradoxically, the most useful things that governments can do are those which are least often tried.
The stoush between Erdogan (who said New Zealanders and Australians visiting Turkey would leave it 'in coffins ') and Morrison (all options to erase this insult were 'on the table') amounts to less than meets the eye. But it speaks volumes about what a toxic brew hypocrisy and the prospect of a forthcoming election can produce.
It has been postulated that there are three types of war: kinetic, informational and economic. America has been losing its kinetic conflicts in the Middle East and recently has escalated its informational war. The favoured weapon with economic warfare is sanctions, and Trump has started to use them to an extreme degree.
If you wish to peer into the heart of darkness, the nexus between big oil and big money is a good place to start. Those who control the energy market and the financial markets control the world. The latest victim of this brutal intersection is Venezuela, a country that has made the mistake of having the biggest oil reserves in the world.
While nuclear weapon stockpiles have reduced massively since the 1980s, the major arms controls treaties have been gradually eroded. At the same time, and even more dangerously, the world has seen a repudiation of the diplomacy which limited the numbers of nuclear weapons and which has prevented their accidental use.
That Trump is a narcissistic braggart was never in doubt. The more intriguing question was always how a businessman would behave once he became president. His administration sees business-style standover tactics as a thoroughly good option. The system-wide shifts that are resulting may have a lasting impact.
How are we to honour the commitment to peace of these Japanese and Maralinga survivors of nuclear conflagrations unleashed maliciously or negligently last century? We need to renew our commitment to painstaking negotiation of international treaties and agreements designed to ensure peace and security for all, insisting on the dignity and human rights of all.

Like many people, your current dental strategy focuses only on brushing your teeth and flossing occasionally. Actually, looking after orally doesn't always start with your teeth. Lifestyle habits, health conditions, and also genetics could all affect oral health.

Airspace lockdown could stall UK food supplies
There is growing concern that the ongoing airspace lockdown, after the volcanic eruption in Iceland created a volcanic ash cloud, could impact upon food supplies to the UK. The food chain is a very complicated issue even though consumers only see the end result and an increase in travel time, cost and lack of availability could filter through to create upwards pricing pressure on UK food imports. This would then have the potential to impact upon the rate of inflation and could, if the situation lasts much longer, become a major problem

Food crisis on the horizon
There was a shortage of food during the 1960s prompting the then Prime Minster, Lal Bahadur Shastri, to the appeal to people to forego food once a week. They did obey his genuine appeal.

The level of poverty and hunger has multiplied several-fold in the last five decades, so much so that India ranks 66th among 88 countries in the hunger index. A loud warning bell has been sounded by Ban-Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the global food crisis. The failure of the World Food Summit held in Rome in November 2009 was unfortunate. It showed the least concern of many governments to the serious problem of food crisis and hunger around the world.
